Gamma/neutron competition above the neutron separation energy in delayed neutron emitters (2014)

To study the β-decay properties of some well known delayed neutron emitters an experiment was performed in 2009 at the IGISOL facility (University of Jyväskylä in Finland) using Total Absorption γ-ray Spectroscopy (TAGS) technique. The aim of these measurements is to obtain the full β-strength distribution below the neutron separation energy (Sn) and the γ/neutron competition above. This information is a key parameter in nuclear technology applications as well as in nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure. Preliminary results of the analysis show a significant γ-branching ratio above Sn.
Non-quasi-static (NQS) thermal noise modelling of the MOS transistor (2004)

A non-quasi-static (NQS) thermal noise model of the MOS transistor is presented that is valid in all modes of operation, from weak to strong inversion, and up to frequencies which are near or above the NQS cut-off frequency. It is shown that in addition to the well known induced gate noise (IGN) there is also an induced substrate noise that is generated and that the source and drain noises are also affected. All prior publications on the subject only deal with IGN in the strong inversion regime. It is shown that significant differences are obtained for moderate and weak inversion operation. A brief review is given of the NQS model valid in all modes of operation. The general thermal noise model using four noisy current sources is described. The power spectral and cross-power spectral densities of these noise sources are computed. A first-order approximation is then derived and compared to the complete model. It is shown that the correlation coefficient between the drain and the gate noise is always null in triode (VD=VS), and varies in saturation between j 0.6 in weak inversion to j 0.4 in strong inversion. To the authors&apos; knowledge, it is the first time that a complete HF thermal noise model of the MOST is presented, that is valid in all modes of inversion and up to and above the NQS cut-off frequency. The impact of this complete NQS noise model on RF-CMOS circuit design is illustrated by two examples.
Feasibility of using intraperitoneal epinephrine and cisplatin in patients with advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis (2006)

Intraperitoneal epinephrine above 1 mg/l concentration has been shown to enhance the intratumoral accumulation and antitumor activity of intraperitoneal cisplatin in rats with advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis. The aim of this study was to determine the tolerance of intraperitoneal epinephrine combined with intraperitoneal cisplatin in patients with advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis (17 ovarian cancers, one peritoneal mesothelioma). Intraperitoneal epinephrine (1-5 mg/l) and cisplatin (50 mg/l; 100 mg total dose) were infused in 2 l of saline solution over 2 h. The maximal tolerated concentration of intraperitoneal epinephrine was not reached at 5 mg/l. Cardiovascular symptoms were infrequent and not strictly related to the epinephrine concentration. Tumor responses were obtained in some patients with disease resistant to intravenous platinum compounds. This work demonstrates for the first time that intraperitoneal epinephrine at sufficient concentration enhances the cisplatin effect and can be safely infused into the peritoneal cavity of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The greatest limitation was abdominal pain and limited intraperitoneal distribution of the peritoneal fluid in this closed-abdomen procedure.
Multiscale AM-FM Methods for Diabetic Retinopathy Lesion Detection (2010)

In this paper, we propose the use of multiscale amplitude-modulation-frequency-modulation (AM-FM) methods for discriminating between normal and pathological retinal images. The method presented in this paper is tested using standard images from the early treatment diabetic retinopathy study. We use 120 regions of 40 x 40 pixels containing four types of lesions commonly associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) and two types of normal retinal regions that were manually selected by a trained analyst. The region types included microaneurysms, exudates, neovascularization on the retina, hemorrhages, normal retinal background, and normal vessels patterns. The cumulative distribution functions of the instantaneous amplitude, the instantaneous frequency magnitude, and the relative instantaneous frequency angle from multiple scales are used as texture feature vectors. We use distance metrics between the extracted feature vectors to measure interstructure similarity. Our results demonstrate a statistical differentiation of normal retinal structures and pathological lesions based on AM-FM features. We further demonstrate our AM-FM methodology by applying it to classification of retinal images from the MESSIDOR database. Overall, the proposed methodology shows significant capability for use in automatic DR screening.
High-yield Secretion of the Recombinant Sweet-Tasting Protein Thaumatin I (2010)

Thaumatin, an intensely sweet-tasting protein used as a sweetener, was secreted by the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. Approximately 100 mg L-1 of recombinant thaumatin I was obtained using an expression vector which possesses three copies of the thaumatin gene containing the 22-amino acid pre-sequence. Expression yield was about three-fold higher than when the α-factor secretion signal from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used. The circular dichroism and tryptophan fluorescence spectra for recombinant thaumatin I were almost the same as those for plant thaumatin. Large amounts of homogeneous recombinant thaumatin allowed for preparation of high-quality crystals in the presence of cryoprotective glycerol used in high-resolution x-ray structural analysis to help further understand the perception of the sweet taste of thaumatin.

Multipixel system for gigahertz frequency-domain optical imaging of finger joints (2008)

Frequency-domain optical imaging systems have shown great promise for characterizing blood oxygenation, hemodynamics, and other physiological parameters in human and animal tissues. However, most of the frequency domain systems presented so far operate with source modulation frequencies below 150 MHz. At these low frequencies, their ability to provide accurate data for small tissue geometries such as encountered in imaging of finger joints or rodents is limited. Here, we present a new system that can provide data up to 1 GHz using an intensity modulated charged coupled device camera. After data processing, the images show the two-dimensional distribution of amplitude and phase of the light modulation on the finger surface. The system performance was investigated and test measurements on optical tissue phantoms were taken to investigate whether higher frequencies yield better signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). It could be shown that local changes in optical tissue properties, as they appear in the initial stages of rheumatoid arthritis in a finger joint, are detectable by simple image evaluation, with the range of modulation frequency around 500 MHz proving to yield the highest SNR.
Avoiding Denervation of Rectus Abdominis in DIEP Flap Harvest: The Importance of Medial Row Perforators (2008)

The nerves innervating rectus abdominis are at risk during the raising of a DIEA perforator flap. These nerves enter the posterior surface of rectus abdominis and run with the most lateral branch of the DIEA and its perforators. Damage to these nerves may denervate rectus abdominis muscle and contribute to donor-site morbidity. As medial row perforators were not related to these motor nerves, these perforators are ideal for inclusion in DIEA perforator and transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps.
The Origin and Evolution of the Plant Cell Surface: Algal Integrin-Associated Proteins and a New Family of Integrin-Like Cytoskeleton-ECM Linker Proteins (2015)

The extracellular matrix of scaly green flagellates consists of small organic scales consisting of polysaccharides and scale-associated proteins (SAPs). Molecular phylogenies have shown that these organisms represent the ancestral stock of flagellates from which all green plants (Viridiplantae) evolved. The molecular characterization of four different SAPs is presented. Three SAPs are type-2 membrane proteins with an arginine/alanine-rich short cytoplasmic tail and an extracellular domain that is most likely of bacterial origin. The fourth protein is a filamin-like protein. In addition, we report the presence of proteins similar to the integrin-associated proteins α-actinin (in transcriptomes of glaucophytes and some viridiplants), LIM-domain proteins, and integrin-associated kinase in transcriptomes of viridiplants, glaucophytes, and rhodophytes. We propose that the membrane proteins identified are the predicted linkers between scales and the cytoskeleton. These proteins are present in many green algae but are apparently absent from embryophytes. These proteins represent a new protein family we have termed gralins for green algal integrins. Gralins are absent from embryophytes. A model for the evolution of the cell surface proteins in Plantae is discussed.
Smart routers-simple optics: an architecture for the optical Internet (2000)

With the Internet protocol (IP) being the dominant protocol for new network services, there is increasing pressure to optimize the network infrastructure and protocols for IP traffic. We have designed a network architecture where each node integrates a router and an optical layer cross connect to create a router optimized for the optical Internet. IP is responsible for all networking functions including network optimality and packet and optical resource management, but delegates transmission work to the optical layer, exploiting the capacity of the optical layer cross-connects. While all control and signaling uses IP, the optical lightpaths may carry arbitrary traffic, and so the control applies as well to non-IP traffic.
Convergence Properties of the K-Means Algorithms (1994)

This paper studies the convergence properties of the well known K-Means clustering algorithm. The K-Means algorithm can be described either as a gradient descent algorithm or by slightly extending the mathematics of the EM algorithm to this hard threshold case. We show that the K-Means algorithm actually minimizes the quantization error using the very fast Newton algorithm. 1 INTRODUCTION K-Means is a popular clustering algorithm used in many applications, including the initialization of more computationally expensive algorithms (Gaussian mixtures, Radial Basis Functions, Learning Vector Quantization and some Hidden Markov Models). The practice of this initialization procedure often gives the frustrating feeling that K-Means performs most of the task in a small fraction of the overall time. This motivated us to better understand this convergence speed. A second reason lies in the traditional debate between hard threshold (e.g. KMeans, Viterbi Training) and soft threshold (e.g. Gaussia...
Characterization of extracellular proteases of Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from the intestine of carp(Cyprinus carpio) (1997)

Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from the intestine of carp produced several kinds of proteases into the medium. Inhibitor assay with the culture supernatant of A. hydrophila showed that there were major metalloproteases and minor serine proteases. Gelatin SDS-PAGE showed two proteolytic bands. One broad protease band was inhibited by metalloprotease specific inhibitor, EDTA, indicating a metalloprotease. The other was inhibited by serine protease specific inhibitor, PMSF, suggesting a serine protease. The proteolytic activities of both extracellular proteases remained on Gelatin SDS-PAGE after heating at for 30 min. However, the major metalloprotease was separated into two proteolytic bands on Gelatin PAGE by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-75.
Analysis on the Influence of China’s Energy Consumption on Economic Growth (2019)

Many studies have shown that energy consumption has a great influence on economic growth. This paper divides China’s energy into coal, oil, natural gas and clean energy (hydroenergy, nuclear energy, wind energy and solar energy), and then studies the influences of China’s coal, oil, natural gas and clean energy on economic growth quantitatively using econometric models. This paper uses three methods. The first method is correlative degree analysis. The paper calculates the correlative degrees between four energy consumption and economic growth (GDP), and then compares the influences of four different kinds of energy consumption on economic growth in terms of the correlative degree. The second method is multiplier analysis. The paper uses the lagged variable regression model to calculate four energy consumption’s current multipliers, dynamic multipliers and long-term multipliers for economic growth, and then compares the influences of four kinds of energy consumption on economic growth in terms of marginal effect. The third method is contribution rate analysis. The paper calculates the rates of contribution of four kinds of energy consumption to economic growth and then compares the influences of four energy consumption on economic growth in terms of input and output. The paper makes an empirical analysis on influences of China’s energy consumption on economic growth. Analysis results show that in terms of correlative degree, natural gas has the greatest influence on GDP, followed by clean energy, oil and coal; in terms of the multiplier effect, natural gas has the biggest current multiplier and long-term multiplier, followed by clean energy, oil and coal; in terms of contribution rate, clean energy has the biggest contribution rate, followed by natural gas, oil and coal. Overall, China’s natural gas consumption and clean energy consumption have more influence on economic growth than coal consumption and oil consumption, and show a rising trend.

Photon Solid Phases in Driven Arrays of Nonlinearly Coupled Cavities (2013)

We introduce and study the properties of an array of QED cavities coupled by nonlinear elements, in the presence of photon leakage and driven by a coherent source. The nonlinear couplings lead to photon hopping and to nearest-neighbor Kerr terms. By tuning the system parameters, the steady state of the array can exhibit a photon crystal associated with a periodic modulation of the photon blockade. In some cases, the crystalline ordering may coexist with phase synchronization. The class of cavity arrays we consider can be built with superconducting circuits of existing technology.
A novel dipeptide derived from porcine liver hydrolysate induces recovery from physical fatigue in a mouse model (2020)

The present study was conducted to identify anti-fatigue peptides in porcine liver hydrolysate (LH) and to evaluate their effects. Peptides in LH were fractionated into hydrophilic and hydrophobic fractions and further into peptides with amino groups (Pep-NH2) and pyroglutamyl peptide fractions (pE). Low dose of hydrophobic Pep-NH2 fraction reversed the decrease in locomotor activity after forced walking in a mouse model upon intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration. The anti-fatigue effects of i.p. injection of Asp-Val, Asp-Leu, and Asp-Phe with α and β peptide bonds and D- and L- asparatyl residue, which appeared in blood after oral administration of LH, were examined. In particular, Asp-Leu (Lβ), Asp-Phe (Dα), and Asp-Phe (Lα) exerted anti-fatigue effects at a low concentration (0.03 mg/kg). We found that Asp-Phe (Lα), but not other dipeptides, activated adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the liver, indicating that Asp-Phe (Lα) could induce recovery from fatigue via AMPK activation.
Improvement of Students Access to Work by means of TICs (2014)

At the IT department, King Abdulaziz University (KAU) wants to improve two aspects related with the students. First one is the improvement of the student's access to work; and the second one is the student's adaptation to the first course with training classes on the summer period. Thus, it is improved their adaptation to the university methodology and the contents which the student doesn’t have a minimum necessary for the department are reinforced. Usually these contents correspond to first course subjects, and directly not associated to the computer science scope, but to the mathematics and linguistic scope. For it, the university wants implant an information system which goal is the curriculum improvement of the students to include them to the work world and their course beginning. This offers the possibility of to realize tests to the students of technologic secondary education and the students of professional formation centers. With the obtained data analysis at the level tests and with the student reports filled by teachers of secondary education centers, the professional team can establish the subject contents of the first course to attend to whole group of students. Also they can be useful to the students can opt to a training course to access to the university similar to the training course of the formative cycles. At this course, are included subjects of the science family, but it would be good for the students to add reinforcement subjects, which are useful for students to achieve the necessary level to begin the university career. During the university studies period, through the subject goals and contents, the teachers and the university will be able to improve the students’ curriculum through a monitoring. That the orientation department through could realize monitoring promotes reinforcement activities in seminaries and work groups. When students finish their studies, the orientation department could establish a recommendation to the student to continue with his studies with superior formation (specialization Masters, research studies..). Also it could be useful to the student insertion to the work world in base to his curriculum through the communication with the companies and the Ministry of Work.
Spontaneous Euroization in the Czech Republic (is it a problem and why not?) (2005)

The paper offers a preliminary analysis of possible spontaneous euroization in the Czech economy. After a brief general introduction of the issue of currency substitution it specifically discusses two things. First, the transmission channels of potential spontaneous euroization, through which the process could possibly complicate the implementation of domestic monetary policy. Second, it analyses the degree of euroization. Among the transmission channels, attention is paid to interest rate and exchange rate channels. The circumstances under which the transmission would be sub-optimal are discussed. Besides the impact on the monetary policy transmission, another risk of progressive spontaneous euroization is seen in the shift of the exchange rate risk from bigger to smaller enterprises in the economy. The available data do not allow a precise measurement of the degree of euroization. Nevertheless, both the ratio of euro-denominated over koruna-denominated deposits and the CNB's survey in 2003 suggest that euroization is not an obstacle for the Czech monetary policy at the moment.
