Analysis of calibration results from cup and propeller anemometers. Influence on wind turbine Annual Energy Production (AEP) calculations (2010)

Abstract The calibration coefficients of several models of cup and propeller anemometers were analysed. The analysis was based on a series of laboratory calibrations between January 2003 and August 2007. Mean and standard deviation values of calibration coefficients from the anemometers studied were included. Two calibration procedures were used and compared. In the first, recommended by the Measuring Network of Wind Energy Institutes (MEASNET), 13 measurement points were taken over a wind speed range of 4 to 16 m s −1 . In the second procedure, 9 measurement points were taken over a wider speed range of 4 to 23 m s −1 . Results indicated no significant differences between the two calibration procedures applied to the same anemometer in terms of measured wind speed and wind turbines' Annual Energy Production (AEP). The influence of the cup anemometers' design on the calibration coefficients was also analysed. The results revealed that the slope of the calibration curve, if based on the rotation frequency and not the anemometer's output frequency, seemed to depend on the cup center rotation radius.

Quantum Ternary Circuit Synthesis Using Projection Operations (2012)

Basic logic gates and their operations in ternary quantum domain are involved in the synthesis of ternary quantum circuits. Only a few works define ternary algebra for ternary quantum logic realization. In this paper, a ternary logic function is expressed in terms of projection operations including a new one. A method to realize new multi-qutrit ternary gates in terms of generalized ternary gates and projection operations is also presented. We also introduced ten simplification rules for reducing ancilla qutrits and gate levels. Our method yields lower gate cost and fewer gate levels and ancilla qutrits than that obtained by earlier methods for the ternary benchmark circuits. The $n$ qutrit ternary sum function is synthesized without any ancilla qutrit by our proposed methodology.
Generation and detection of terahertz radiation by electro-optical process in GaAs using 1.56μm fiber laser pulses (2004)

We report the generation and detection of a terahertz wave with a nonresonant electro-optical crystal using 1.56μm femtosecond laser pulses. Using a 0.5-mm-thick (110)-oriented GaAs wafer for optical rectification and electro-optical modulation, we detected spectral sensitivity below 3THz. We also estimated the availability of GaAs from the viewpoint of an electro-optical coefficient and phase match condition.

XPS Analysis of Porous Silicon (2013)

This manuscript presents an original XPS study of mesoporous p-type silicon samples. The use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy helps in understanding the different chemical environments of silicon atoms generated during porous-silicon formation and their evolution in time. Thus, the oxidation state and the contamination can be precisely known and controlled. The loss of the flatness of the surface is followed by the modification of the plasmon peaks and the morphology obtained is monitored by SEM.

Saving the Nerve from Glaucoma: Memantine to Caspaces (1999)

Three recent discoveries regarding the pathophysiology of human glaucoma are that retinal ganglion cells die by apoptosis, that nitric oxide synthase levels are altered, and that glutamate is elevated in the vitreous. These findings provide encouraging new avenues for the development of neuroprotective strategies to alleviate ganglion cell loss and blindness that accompanies this disease. In this article, we discuss some of these data, as well as potential therapies that may arise from these findings.
New Oxygenated Cephalotaxus Alkaloids from Cephalotaxus harringtonia var. drupacea (1996)

Three oxygenated cephalotaxine ester-type alkaloids, 11α-hydroxyhomodeoxyharringtonine (1), 11β-hydroxyhomodeoxyharringtonine (2) and 11β-hydroxydeoxyharringtonine (3) were isolated from Cephalotaxus harringtonia var. drupacea. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods including 2D NMR and CD spectra, and their antileukemic activity was evaluated using P-388 leukemia cells.
High through-put, outdoor characterization of silicon photovoltaic modules by moving electroluminescence measurements (2018)

Fast and non-destructive quality control tools are important to assess the reliability of photovoltaic plants. On-site inspection is essential to minimize the risk of module damage and electrical yield losses. This may only be achieved by using highly sensitive imaging techniques such as luminescence or infrared thermography imaging. Nowadays, electroluminescence is used to detect defects such as local cell changes, series resistances and shunts in solar cells and modules which can cause electrical losses. However, the drawback of this method is the relatively low measurement throughput. To increase the throughput InGaAs cameras with a resolution of 640 &times; 512 pixels are used, for which low integration times are possible to acquire electroluminescence images. For such low integration times even moving image acquisition and movie recording are feasible to detect the mentioned defects. In this paper, an outdoor electroluminescence setup is presented for mobile handheld recording. Experiments showed that 5 ms integration time is a good compromise between low contrasts for lower integration times and motion blurring for higher integration times. The camera prototype has an onboard computer to avoid image transmission losses. It was controlled and visualized over Wi-Fi and remote desktop connection. The energy supply was provided from LiPo-batteries for improved mobility. In comparison to conventional electroluminescence measurements we can decrease the measurement time of a 20 module string from 5 min to 20 s.
Markedly Elevated Nitrate/Nitrite Levels in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Children with Progressive Encephalopathy with Edema, Hypsarrhythmia, and Optic Atrophy (PEHO Syndrome) (2000)

Our findings suggest that in PEHO syndrome, production of nitric oxide is markedly increased, suggesting that nitric oxide is involved in the pathologic phenomena (i.e., seizures and neurodegeneration) of the disease.
Design and Implementation of AIS Link Layer Using SDL-RT (2008)

AIS (automatic identification system) is an advanced maritime navigation system mainly used to improve safety on the sea. It exchanges navigation data with other vessels and with coastal monitoring stations on VHF maritime mobile band. It is based on a self-organized medium access network and relies on the use of a GPS receiver to compute and transmit boat positions. To bring about such a network and ensure its reliability, the nodes must be designed with stringent requirements in mind. In this paper we propose to design and implement the link layer, and therefore the medium access process, of the AIS system. Specification and description language real time (SDL-RT) which is a real time extension of SDL is used to design the system. SDL-RT offers a hierarchical graphical tool which facilities system complexity management, functional testing capabilities and optimized code generation. The generated code is implemented and tested on a digital signal processor (DSP).
Modification of the silver staining technique to detect lipopolysaccharide in polyacrylamide gels (1990)

A silver staining method used routinely for detecting bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (C. Tsai and E. Frasch, Anal. Biochem. 119:115-119, 1982) appeared to be inappropriate for visualizing certain LPS preparations. It did not stain S-form fractions of polyagglutinable Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS or several partly deacylated (alkali-treated) S-form LPS after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. However, these LPS preparations could be detected by anti-LPS sera after electroblotting onto nitrocellulose, thereby confirming their integrity and presence in the polyacrylamide gel. This is because LPS fractions containing a low number of fatty acids are washed out of the gel during the initial fixing step (40% ethanol-4% acetic acid, overnight). By omitting this fixing step, which was originally developed for detecting proteins, and by increasing the LPS oxidation time (from 5 to 20 min), we restored the ability to detect LPS fractions that otherwise would not be stained. These modifications did not affect the detection of other S- and R-form LPSs. Thus, differences in the number of fatty acids present in polyagglutinable P. aeruginosa LPS may result in a selective loss of fatty acid-deficient S-form LPS in these apparent R-form LPS preparations. This modified procedure provides a fast, simple, and sensitive way to analyze LPS in polyacrylamide gels despite the number of acyl groups present.
Evolution of an Intelligent Information Fusion System (1990)

Consideration is given to the hardware and software needed to manage the enormous amount and complexity of data that the next generation of space-borne sensors will provide. An anthology is presented illustrating the evolution of artificial intelligence, science data processing, and management from the 1960s to the near future. Problems and limitations of technologies, data structures, data standards, and conceptual thinking are addressed. The development of an end-to-end Intelligent Information Fusion System that embodies knowledge of the user's domain-specific goals is proposed.
COVID-19 and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, or is it mast cell activation syndrome? (2020)

COVID-19 derives from infection with Coronavirus [severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2] and is associated with high morbidity and mortality due to release of a storm of pro-inflammatory cytokines and thrombogenic agents resulting in destruction of the lungs. Many reports indicate that a considerable number of patients who are positive for SARS-CoV-2 are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. However, increasing evidence suggests that many such patients who either recovered from or had mild symptoms after COVID-19 exhibit diffuse, multiorgan, symptoms months after the infection. These symptoms include malaise, myalgias, chest tightness, brain fog and other neuropsychiatric symptoms that were originally reported in children and named Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C). Now the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) announced the recognition of a similar condition in adults, named Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-A). The symptoms characterizing these conditions are very similar to those associated with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS, US ICD-110 code D89.42-idiopathic mast cell activation syndrome). Hence, the possibility of MCAS should be evaluated in any patient with MIS and/or multisystem inflammatory symptoms. In either case, these syndromes should be addressed with liposomal formulation (in olive pomace oil) of the flavone luteolin (e.g. PureLut® or FibroProtek®) together with the antihistamine rupatadine, which also has anti-platelet activating factor (PAF) activity and inhibits mast cells that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cytokine storms in COVID-19.
Abstract 9803: Randomized Comparison of a Radiofrequency Wire versus a Radiofrequency Needle System for Transseptal Puncture (2022)

Introduction: Transseptal puncture is a necessary component of many electrophysiology and structural heart procedures. A new technology utilizes a specialized introducer wire to cross the septum with radiofrequency (RF) energy, eliminating the need for a transseptal needle and wire/needle exchanges. The RF wire technique, however, has not been evaluated in a randomized trial. Methods: The Wire Instrumentation with Radiofrequency Energy to Impact Transseptal puncture (WIRE IT, NCT04645342) study was an investigator-initiated and designed trial that enrolled individuals ≥18 years of age undergoing double transseptal puncture for atrial fibrillation or left atrial flutter ablation. Participants were randomized to a transseptal approach with either a RF needle (NRG Transseptal Needle, Baylis Medical) or RF wire (Versacross RF Wire, Baylis Medical). The primary outcome was time to achieve first transseptal puncture. Timing was started at insertion of the guidewire into the short femoral vein sheath and was stopped once the transseptal sheath was positioned in the left atrium and the dilator and guidewire were removed. Secondary outcomes included second and combined transseptal puncture time, fluoroscopy time, number of equipment exchanges, and complications. Results: A total of 75 participants were enrolled between November 30, 2020 and February 2, 2022 (36 RF needle, 39 RF wire). No crossovers occurred. Randomization to the RF wire resulted in a statistically significant reduction in first transseptal time compared to the RF needle (Figure). Second and combined transseptal times and number of equipment exchanges were also reduced with the RF wire. One participant in the RF needle group experienced transient AV block due to mechanical trauma. There were no complications in the RF wire group. Conclusions: The RF wire technique resulted in faster time to transseptal puncture and fewer equipment exchanges compared to an RF needle with no difference in complications.
A Scenario-oriented Approach for Energy-Reserve Joint Procurement and Pricing (2020)

We propose a scenario-oriented approach for energy-reserve joint procurement and pricing for electricity market. In this model, without the empirical reserve requirements, reserve is procured according to all possible contingencies and load/renewable generation fluctuations with the minimum expected system total cost. The innovative locational marginal pricing approach for loads, generations and reserve and the associated settlement process are proposed. We show that payments from loads, payments to generators and congestion rent will reach their balance in the basecase as well as in all scenarios, so that revenue adequacy can be guaranteed for the system operator.

Professional XML Web Services (2001)

From the Publisher:
Web Services are self-describing, modular applications. The Web Services architecture can be thought of as a wrapper for the application code. This wrapper provides standardized means of: describing the Web Service and what it does; publishing it to a registry, so that it can easily be located; and exposing an interface, so that the service can be invoked - all in a machine-readable format. What is particularly compelling about Web Services is that they can be accessed by any client that understands XML, regardless of the platform, language, or object model. 
This book provides a snapshot of the current state of these rapidly evolving technologies, beginning by detailing the main protocols that underpin the Web Services model (SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI), and then putting this theory to practical use in a wide array of popular toolkits, platforms, and development environments. 
The technologies presented in this book provide the foundations of Web Services computing, which is set to revolutionize Distributed Computing, as we know it. 
This book covers: 
The architecture of Web Services - past, present, and future Detailed explanation of SOAP 1.1 An overview of SOAP 1.2 IBM Web Services Toolkit and Microsoft SOAP toolkit 2.0 Other SOAP implementations in Perl, C++, and PHP Java Web Services with Apache SOAP WSDL 1.1, UDDI 1.0, and 2.0 Creating and deploying Web Services using .Net Building Web Services using Python Applying security at both transport and application levels
Defective platelet response to arachidonic acid and thromboxane A2 in subjects with PlA2 polymorphism of β3 subunit (glycoprotein IIIa) (2000)

The membrane complex alpha(IIb)beta(3) is the major receptor for fibrinogen and is involved in platelet adhesion and aggregation. Evidence has been presented that the Pl(A2) allele of the beta(3) Pl(A1/A2) gene polymorphism might be an independent risk factor for coronary thrombosis, but the matter is still controversial. We investigated the relationship between this polymorphism and possible alterations of platelet functions in vitro. The platelet adhesion to fibrinogen-coated microplate wells and the aggregation induced by several different agonists were tested in 63 healthy volunteers, among them, 49 subjects with Pl(A1/A1) polymorphism, 12 subjects with Pl(A1/A2) polymorphism and two subjects with (PlA2/A2) polymorphism. Subjects with PlA1/A2 polymorphism or with Pl(A2/A2) polymorphism showed significantly lower platelet responses as compared with Pl(A1/A1) subjects when either arachidonic acid or the thromboxane A(2) analogue, U46619, were used as agonists. In resting condition and after thrombin or ADP stimulation, platelet function was normal in all the subjects. An increased sensitivity to the anti-aggregatory effect of acetylsalicylic acid was observed in platelets from subjects with the Pl(A2) allele. Finally, using a flow-cytometric evaluation and determining the beta-thromboglobulin plasma levels, we did not find any evidence of a Pl(A2) platelet hyper-reactivity ex vivo. Our findings are not consistent with the hypothesis that the purported increase of cardiovascular risk in these subjects may be as a result of platelet hyperactivation. On the contrary, the Pl(A2) allele is associated with a platelet functional deficiency, specifically linked to the activation of the fibrinogen receptor by thromboxane A(2).
