Studies on Sesquiterpenoids. I (1954)

The sesquiterpenoid lactone obtained from the rhizome of Inula helenium was reduced with sodium amalgam and dihydroisoalantolactone was isolated as the product. Allyl oxidation of the latter with selenenium dioxide yielded 3-hydroxydihydroisoalantolactone, which was derived to 3-oxotetrahydroalantolactone and compared with tetrahydrosantonin.
Comparison of 2 A-scans (2003)

The large random errors in the ACD and LT reduce their value as predictors of postoperative IOL position in formulas that use them. Systematic differences in AL can be large enough to require separate formula constants for different pieces of equipment. If this is the situation in 1 setting, there is a risk of mistakes. This confusion could be avoided if there were an agreed standard and a universal calibration procedure for instruments intended for AL measurement.
Stochastic Nonlinear Minimax Filtering in Continuous-Time (2001)

This paper discusses nonlinear stochastic minimax games in which the minimizing player is the state estimate while the maximizing players are square-integrable stochastic disturbances. A pathwise optimization method is considered, and an information state is introduced as in 111, which is governed by a second-order Hamilton- JacobiBellman (HJB) equation. The HJB equation is subsequently employed to characterize the dissipation properties of the estimator error with respect to the stochastic disturbances, and to introduce a certainty equivalence est imator .
Influence of the photovoltaic generation in a small distribution network (2012)

In this paper are presented the results of a study carried out with the data of a electrical energy distribution network in a village in the region of La Rioja (Spain). In this distribution network, property of a small utility, is connected a photovoltaic power plant with a capacity comparable with the total load connected to the network in some hours. In the study there have been used actual load and generation data, discussing the influence of the photovoltaic generation on the net demand of the village over a period of two years (2009)(2010). This study is a first phase for the application of demand side management actions for adjusting the load curves with generation curves. In a second phase the influence of new distributed generation facilities, based on renewable sources (wind, biomass, cogeneration, etc.) will be considered in order to minimize the dependence of the village from external supplies.
Two Basic Amino Acids C-Terminal of the Proximal Box Specify Functional Binding of the Vitamin D Receptor to Its Rat Osteocalcin Deoxyribonucleic Acid- Responsive Element (2003)

Nuclear hormone receptor-responsive element binding specificity has been reported to reside predominantly in the proximal box (P-box), three amino acids located in a DNA-recognition alpha-helix situated on the C-terminal side of the first zinc finger. To further define the residues in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) DNA binding domain (DBD) that mediate its interaction as a retinoid X receptor (RXR) heterodimer with the rat osteocalcin vitamin D-responsive element (VDRE), chimeric receptors were created in which the core DBD of VDR was replaced with that of the homodimerizing glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Systematic alteration of GR DBD amino acids in these chimeras to VDR DBD residues identified arg-49 and lys-53, just C-terminal of the P-box within the base recognition alpha-helix of human VDR (hVDR), as the only two amino acids among 36 differences required to convert the GR core zinc finger domain to that of the VDR. Gel mobility shift and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-stimulated transcription assays verified that an hVDR-GR DBD chimera is functional on the rat osteocalcin VDRE with only the conservative change of lys-49 to arg, and of the negatively charged glu-53 to a basic amino acid (lys or arg). Thus, for RXR heterodimerizing receptors like VDR, the P-box requires redefinition and expansion to include a DNA specificity element corresponding to arg-49 and lys-53 of hVDR. Examination of DNA specificity element amino acids in other nuclear receptors in terms of conservation and base contact in cocrystal structures supports the conclusion that these residues are crucial for selective DNA recognition.
Juvenile conduct disorder as a risk factor for trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (2005)

Juvenile conduct disorder (CD) is a well-documented risk factor for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This study examines the mechanisms underlying this relationship by using data from 3,315 twin pairs in the Vietnam Era Twin Registry. Results indicate the number of conduct disorder symptoms increased risk of trauma exposure and PTSD in a dose-response fashion. This increased risk was mediated in part by the positive association between CD and lifestyle factors and was not due to confounding by shared genetic or familial vulnerability. The findings suggest CD increases risk for trauma exposure and PTSD among male veterans through direct and indirect mechanisms. Veterans who have a history of CD are at high risk for trauma exposure and development of PTSD.
Atmospheric Hydrogen Scavenging: from Enzymes to Ecosystems (2014)

We have known for 40 years that soils can consume the trace amounts of molecular hydrogen (H2) found in the Earth’s atmosphere.This process is predicted to be the most significant term in the global hydrogen cycle. However, the organisms and enzymes responsible for this process were only recently identified. Pure culture experiments demonstrated that several species of Actinobacteria, including streptomycetes and mycobacteria, can couple the oxidation of atmospheric H2 to the reduction of ambient O2. A combination of genetic, biochemical, and phenotypic studies suggest that these organisms primarily use this fuel source to sustain electron input into the respiratory chain during energy starvation. This process is mediated by a specialized enzyme, the group 5 [NiFe]-hydrogenase, which is unusual for its high affinity, oxygen insensitivity, and thermostability. Atmospheric hydrogen scavenging is a particularly dependable mode of energy generation, given both the ubiquity of the substrate and the stress tolerance of its catalyst. This minireview summarizes the recent progress in understanding how and why certain organisms scavenge atmospheric H2. In addition, it provides insight into the wider significance of hydrogen scavenging in global H2 cycling and soil microbial ecology.
Molecular Imaging Using a Targeted Magnetic Resonance Hyperpolarized Biosensor (2006)

A magnetic resonance approach is presented that enables high-sensitivity, high-contrast molecular imaging by exploiting xenon biosensors. These sensors link xenon atoms to specific biomolecular targets, coupling the high sensitivity of hyperpolarized nuclei with the specificity of biochemical interactions. We demonstrated spatial resolution of a specific target protein in vitro at micromolar concentration, with a readout scheme that reduces the required acquisition time by >3300-fold relative to direct detection. This technique uses the signal of free hyperpolarized xenon to dramatically amplify the sensor signal via chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). Because it is approximately 10,000 times more sensitive than previous CEST methods and other molecular magnetic resonance imaging techniques, it marks a critical step toward the application of xenon biosensors as selective contrast agents in biomedical applications.

Differentiation of Gram-Negative, Nonfermentative Bacteria Isolated from Biofilters on the Basis of Fatty Acid Composition, Quinone System, and Physiological Reaction Profiles (1992)

Gram-negative, nonfermentative bacteria isolated from biofilters for off-gas treatment of animal-rendering-plant emissions were differentiated by whole-cell fatty acid analysis, quinone analysis, and numerical taxonomy based on their physiological reaction profiles. The last system consisted of 60 physiological tests and was arranged as a microtest system on microtitration plates. Based on fatty acid analyses, 31 isolates were separated into six clusters and five single-member clusters. The isolates of two clusters were identified as Alcaligenes faecalis and Pseudomonas diminuta. The remaining nine clusters were characterized by their fatty acid profiles, quinone systems, and physiological reaction profiles. Clusters resulting from fatty acid analyses were compared with those resulting from physiological reaction profiles. Six clusters could be confirmed this way. The efficiency of the physiological test system was increased by the prearrangement of the isolates according to their quinone type.

General pharmacology of beraprost sodium. 2nd communication: effect on the autonomic, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems, and other effects. (1989)

Beraprost sodium (sodium (+/-)-(1R*,2R*,3as*,8bS*)-2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydro-2- hydroxy-1-[(E)-(3S*)-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-1-octen-6-ynyl]-1H- cyclopenta[b]benzofuran-5-butyrate, TRK-100) is an orally active epoprostenol (prostaglandin I2, PGI2) analogue. Its general pharmacological effects on peripheral organs were studied. 1. In isolated organs, beraprost sodium relaxed the trachea and increased atrial beating rate (2.4 x 10(-5) mol/l). It also dose-dependently contracted the stomach, aorta, ileum and uterus (2.4 x 10(-7)-2.4 x 10(-4) mol/l). These effects of beraprost sodium were similar, but inferior to those of PGI2 and PGE1. 2. Intravenous administration of beraprost sodium produced a dose-related decrease in blood pressure (BP), its potency being about 1/3 times that of PGI2 in anesthetized rats and dogs. Beraprost sodium and PGI2 had no effects on heart rate (HR), and enhanced respiration in conjugation with a decrease in BP. Oral administration of beraprost sodium in high doses (1-3 mg/kg in rats and 0.3 mg/kg in dogs) caused a decrease in BP. A compensatory tachycardia and an elevated plasma renin activity (PRA) occurred after low doses (0.1-0.3 mg/kg) in rats. In contrast, a change of HR and PRA in rabbits and dogs was mild. 3. Beraprost sodium produced suppression of digestive organs: markedly, gastric motility and secretion and intestinal transport; slightly, but significantly, biliary secretion. On the other hand, it enhanced ileal motility at a high dose (300 micrograms/kg i.v.). 4. Oral administration of beraprost sodium caused a decrease in urinary volume and electrolyte excretion in rats. 5. Oral administration of beraprost sodium prolonged bleeding time in mice, while it had no effect on the blood coagulation system in vitro. In addition, beraprost sodium had no hemolytic action. 6. The other effects of beraprost sodium were weak. Beraprost sodium had no local anesthetic activity and no effect on salivation, pupil size and neuromuscular transmission in the skeletal muscle. Beraprost sodium slightly contracted the uterus of non-pregnant rats in situ and dose-independently inhibited carrageenin-induced paw edema. In conclusion, beraprost sodium produced various effects on the autonomic, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems. Probably, these effects may be based on its own action like PGI2.

Diabetes and Atherosclerosis (2005)

Macrovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetes. The study of factors that may uniquely contribute to the accelerated development of atherosclerosis in diabetes has been an ongoing process for several years. However, the concepts behind both the pathogenic mechanisms of atherosclerosis and the trigger mechanisms that lead to acute clinical events have drastically changed in the last two decades. It is now fully accepted that arteriosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process and not a degenerative process that inevitably progresses with age. Also accepted is the fact that plaque rupture or erosion not the degree of vessel obstruction is responsible for the majority of acute cardiovascular events. Diabetes most likely contributes to and enhances the chronic inflammatory process characteristic of arteriosclerosis and supporting this concept are the studies showing that atherectomy specimens from diabetic patients undergoing coronary atherectomy for symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) have a larger content of macrophages than specimens from patients without diabetes (1). In recent years, mechanisms that lead to plaque formation and to plaque erosion or rupture and the key event that precedes both, endothelial dysfunction, are being actively studied (Fig. 1).
Kevlar and glass fiber treatment for thermoplastic composites by step polycondensation (2007)

Abstract Nylon‐6,6 was grafted at the surface of glass and plasma‐treated Kevlar fibers for use in nylon–Kevlar thermoplastic composites. Hydroxyl and, in the case of Kevlar, amine end‐groups occur at the fibre surface, either as defects or due to the plasma treatment. These were used as anchor points for nylon‐6,6 step polycondensation. Fibers were subjected to successive dipping in adipoyl chloride/CH 2 Cl 2 and aqueous hexamethylenediamine solutions in order to attach and grow high molecular weight polymer on the fiber surface. Grafted nylon was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. It was shown that no backbiting occurred during the first stage of the grafting process and that the polymer quantity increased linearly with number of passes, up to ∼50 passes for plasma‐treated Kevlar and 100 for glass fibers, after which polymer quantity remained constant, within experimental error, which was attributed to the onset of termination reactions.

Identification of novel intergenic repetitive units in a mycobacterial two‐component system operon (1997)

Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRUs), a novel class of repeated sequences, were identified within the intercistronic region of an operon coding for a mycobacterial two-component system, named senX3-regX3. Southern blot analysis and homology searches revealed the presence of several homologous sequences in intergenic regions dispersed throughout the genomes of Mycobacterium bovis BCG, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae. These could be grouped into three major families, containing elements of 77-101 bp, 46-53 bp and 58-101 bp. Based on the available mycobacterial sequences, the total number of MIRUs is estimated to be about 40-50 per genome. Similar to previously identified small repetitive sequences, the MIRUs of the two-component operon are transcribed on a polycistronic mRNA. Unlike previously identified small repetitive sequences, however, MIRUs do not contain dyad symmetries, comprise small open reading frames (ORFs) whose extremities overlap those of the contiguous ORFs and are oriented in the same translational direction as those of the adjacent genes. Analyses of the sequences at the insertion sites suggest that MIRUs disseminate by transposition into DTGA sites involved in translational coupling in polycistronic operons.

Know Your Onions (2015)

The increasing availability of large volumes of human-curated content is shifting web search towards a paradigm that introduces seamlessly more semantic information to search engine result pages. This trend has resulted in the design of a new element known as the knowledge module (KM) where certain facts about named entities, obtained from various knowledge bases, are shown to users. So far, little has been done to uncover the role that this module plays on user experience in web search and whether it is perceived by users as a useful aid for their search tasks. Our work is an early attempt to bridge this gap. To this end, we conducted a crowdsourcing study aimed at understanding the effect of the KM on users' search experience and its overall utility. In particular, our study is the first to provide insights about the noticeability and usefulness of the KM in web search, together with comprehensive analyses of usability and workload.
Requirements for Transparency and Communicability of Regulatory Science (2018)

This article presents the results of a study attempting to provide examples that implement transparency and communicability elements of Ethical Rules Principle of Best Available Regulatory Science (BARS) and Metrics for Evaluation of Regulatory Science Claims (MERSC). It starts with an overview of regulatory science and briefly summarizes principles of BARS and key pillars of MERSC. Subsequently, the BARS/MERSC system is used to evaluate the linear nonthreshold (LNT) process used in cancer assessments and the similar process used for evaluating in particulate matter (PM) exposure. The study identifies 3 parts in dose-response curves, where the first part is reproducible science and the second part includes uncertainties and often requires the application of precautionary principle. The primary reason for disagreements on LNT and PM is a lack of recognition that the third part is based on desire of regulators to be protective, a policy decision process. Two PM epidemiological examples are included in this study to demonstrate the point. The regulatory process would benefit from recognizing the distinction between science and policy and excluding policy from regulatory science. Furthermore, the society would greatly benefit from increased transparency in the regulatory process and compliance with the Jeffersonian communication principle.
Hierarchically Ordered Oxides (1998)

Porous silica, niobia, and titania with three-dimensional structures patterned over multiple length scales were prepared by combining micromolding, polystyrene sphere templating, and cooperative assembly of inorganic sol-gel species with amphiphilic triblock copolymers. The resulting materials show hierarchical ordering over several discrete and tunable length scales ranging from 10 nanometers to several micrometers. The respective ordered structures can be independently modified by choosing different mold patterns, latex spheres, and block copolymers. The examples presented demonstrate the compositional and structural diversities that are possible with this simple approach.
Molecular Analysis of Human Interleukin-9 Receptor Transcripts in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (1998)

Genetic studies on mouse models of asthma have identified interleukin-9 (IL9) as a determining factor in controlling bronchial hyperresponsiveness, a hallmark of the disease. Recently, the human IL9 receptor (hIL9R) gene locus has also been implicated in determining susceptibility to bronchial hyperresponsiveness and asthma. In order to evaluate the structure and function of the encoded product, we analyzed receptor transcripts derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 50 unrelated donors. Sequence analysis of the entire coding region identified a splice variant that contains an in frame deletion of a single residue at codon 173 (DeltaQ). This variant could be permanently expressed in a cytokine-dependent murine T-cell line but lacked the ability to induce proliferation in response to human IL9. In situ analyses of cells expressing the wild-type and DeltaQ receptors found both forms to be expressed at the cell surface, but the DeltaQ receptor was unable to bind hIL9 and could not be recognized by N-terminal specific antibodies. These findings demonstrate that hIL9RDeltaQ presents an altered structure and function and suggests its potential role in down-regulating IL9 signaling in effector cells and associated biological processes.
Hidden Markov Model for Gesture Recognition (1994)

Abstract : This report presents a method for developing a gesture-based system using a multi-dimensional hidden Markov model (HMM). Instead of using geometric features, gestures are converted into sequential symbols. HMMs are employed to represent the gestures and their parameters are learned from the training data. Based on the most likely performance criterion, the gestures can be recognized through evaluating the trained HMMs. We have developed a prototype system to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. The system achieved 99.78% accuracy for an isolated recognition task with nine gestures. Encouraging results were also obtained from experiments of continuous gesture recognition. The proposed method is applicable to any gesture represented by a multi- dimensional signal, and will be a valuable tool in telerobotics and human computer interfaces
Millimeter-Wave Directional Path Loss Models in the 26 GHz, 32 GHz, and 39 GHz Bands for Small Cell 5G Cellular System (2018)

This paper presents empirically-based large-scale propagation path loss models for small cell fifth generation (5G) cellular system in the millimeter-wave bands, based on practical propagation channel measurements at 26 GHz, 32 GHz, and 39 GHz.To characterize path loss at these frequency bands for 5G small cell scenarios, extensive wideband and directional channel measurements have been performed on the campus of the University of Surrey.Close-in reference (CI), and 3GPP path loss models have been studied, and large-scale fading characteristics have been obtained and presented.
