Inversion of CSEM Data with Model-based Inversion Algorithm (2008)

We present the model-based inversion algorithm, which uses a priori information on the geometry to reduce the number of unknown parameters and improve the quality of the reconstructed conductivity image. This model-based inversion approach can be also used to refine the conductivity image that we obtained using the pixel-based inversion algorithm. The model-based inversion approach adopts the Gauss-Newton minimization method, with nonlinear constraints and regularization for the unknown parameters. It also employs a line search approach to guarantee the reduction of the cost function after each iteration. The forward modeling simulation is a two-and-half dimensional finite-difference solver, and the parameters that govern the location and the shape of a reservoir include the depth and the location of the user-defined nodes for the boundary of the region. The unknown parameter that describes the physical property of the region is the electrical conductivity. We will show some numerical examples to illustrate the advantageous of using this model-based inversion approach.
Procedure for Optimum Design in Relation to Noise for Low-Speed Ducted Fans (1969)

A previously published ducted fan design theory is used to design a series of related fans in which certain parameters are varied systematically. A previously published equation for the calculation of fan noise is then used to estimate the noise generated by each of these fan configurations. The results suggest how the various design parameters influence noise generation. Due to a lack of experimental data, the fan noise equation has not yet been fully developed and verified. Nevertheless, it could already prove useful as a qualitative guide in selecting fan design parameters for minimum noise.
EBV Tegument Protein BNRF1 Disrupts DAXX-ATRX to Activate Viral Early Gene Transcription (2011)

Productive infection by herpesviruses involve the disabling of host-cell intrinsic defenses by viral encoded tegument proteins. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) typically establishes a non-productive, latent infection and it remains unclear how it confronts the host-cell intrinsic defenses that restrict viral gene expression. Here, we show that the EBV major tegument protein BNRF1 targets host-cell intrinsic defense proteins and promotes viral early gene activation. Specifically, we demonstrate that BNRF1 interacts with the host nuclear protein Daxx at PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) and disrupts the formation of the Daxx-ATRX chromatin remodeling complex. We mapped the Daxx interaction domain on BNRF1, and show that this domain is important for supporting EBV primary infection. Through reverse transcription PCR and infection assays, we show that BNRF1 supports viral gene expression upon early infection, and that this function is dependent on the Daxx-interaction domain. Lastly, we show that knockdown of Daxx and ATRX induces reactivation of EBV from latently infected lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs), suggesting that Daxx and ATRX play a role in the regulation of viral chromatin. Taken together, our data demonstrate an important role of BNRF1 in supporting EBV early infection by interacting with Daxx and ATRX; and suggest that tegument disruption of PML-NB-associated antiviral resistances is a universal requirement for herpesvirus infection in the nucleus.
Replication Data for: Distributions, ex situ conservation priorities, and genetic resource potential of crop wild relatives of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., I. series Batatas] (2015)

Crop wild relatives of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., I. series Batatas] have the potential to contribute to breeding objectives for this important root crop. Uncertainty in regard to species boundaries and their phylogenetic relationships, the limited availability of germplasm with which to perform crosses, and the difficulty of introgression of genes from wild species has constrained their utilization. Here, we compile geographic occurrence data on relevant sweetpotato wild relatives and produce potential distribution models for the species. We then assess the comprehensiveness of ex situ germplasm collections, contextualize these results with research and breeding priorities, and use ecogeographic information to identify species with the potential to contribute desirable agronomic traits. The fourteen species that are considered the closest wild relatives of sweetpotato generally occur from the central United States to Argentina, with richness concentrated in Mesoamerica and in the extreme Southeastern United States. Currently designated species differ among themselves and in comparison to the crop in their adaptations to temperature, precipitation, and edaphic characteristics and most species also show considerable intraspecific variation. With 79% of species identified as high priority for further collecting, we find that these crop genetic resources are highly under-represented in ex situ conservation systems and thus their availability to breeders and researchers is inadequate. We prioritize taxa and specific geographic locations for further collecting in order to improve the completeness of germplasm collections. In concert with enhanced conservation of sweetpotato wild relatives, further taxonomic research, characterization and evaluation of germplasm, and improving the techniques to overcome barriers to introgression with wild species are needed in order to mobilize these genetic resources for crop breeding.
Data classification based on PolInSAR coherence shapes (2005)

The combination of SAR polarimetry and SAR interferometry introduced many new research and application fields. Mostly they go into the direction of physical parameter in- version and media characterization and classification. The major parameter which is computed from observable of polarimetric interferometric SAR (PolInSAR) is the complex coherence. In most fields only a few coherences are used for their purposes. But coherences are easily influenced by many parameters, like temporal or spatial baseline, or frequency. In this paper we present a new numerical approach for calculation of the shape and distribution of all complex coherences, which are possible with equal scattering mechanisms. Based on these shapes, new parameters are introduced for data decomposition. Finally, the PolInSAR data is classified based on coherence shapes. The per- formance of our approach is tested on PolInSAR data in L-band, acquired by airborne ESAR system. The result is compared with the classical polarimetric entropy-alpha-anisotropy approach.
Stem Cell Therapy for Congenital Heart Disease (2017)

It seems that stem cell delivery to the diseased heart as an adjunct to surgical palliation may provide some benefits over surgery alone in terms of cardiac function, somatic growth, and quality of life. Despite encouraging preliminary results, stem cell therapies for patients with CHD should only be considered in the setting of well-designed clinical trials. More wet laboratory research experience is needed, and translation of promising findings to large clinical studies is warranted to clearly define the efficacy and safety profile of this alternative and potentially groundbreaking therapeutic approach.
MOCVD-grown AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs with epitaxially embedded p + layers in extrinsic base (1987)

AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs having a 300 Å base were grown by two-stage MOCVD. In the second stage, p+ layers were epitaxially embedded in the extrinsic base to make the base contact. The current through the parasitic pn interface between the emitter and the embedded p+ layers was negligible. The technique employed here makes undamaged narrow-base HBTs possible.
Intelligent Systems for Improved Reliability and Failure Diagnosis in Distribution Systems (2010)

Certain smart grid technologies can reduce the number of customers affected by prolonged outages, and thereby increase reliability through automated switching to restore service. Such technologies are useful, but reactive in nature, performing their function only after a fault occurs and an outage has been detected. They must presume that nonfaulted feeder sections and alternative feeders are healthy and capable of carrying increased power flow. Research at Texas A&M University has demonstrated that sophisticated, automated real-time analysis of feeder electrical waveforms can be used to predict failures and assess the health of distribution lines and line apparatus. Reliability can be substantially improved by detecting, locating, and repairing incipient failures before catastrophic failure, often before an outage occurs. Requirements for data and computation are substantially greater than for devices like digital relays and power-quality meters, but feasible with modern electronics. This paper provides selected examples of failures that have been predicted by intelligent distribution fault anticipation (DFA) algorithms. The data requirements and processing analysis to detect these failures are discussed. The problems related to full-scale deployment of the proposed system in a utility-wide application are presented. The authors use experience gained from their long-term research to propose concepts for overcoming these impediments.
Human Urotensin II–Induced Contraction and Arterial Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation Are Mediated by RhoA and Rho-Kinase (2001)

The aim of this work was to investigate the coupling of human urotensin II (hU-II) to RhoA activation and regulation of RhoA-dependent functions. The use of the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 and the development of a membrane-permeant RhoA inhibitor (TAT-C3) allowed us to demonstrate that hU-II induced arterial smooth muscle contraction, actin stress fiber formation, and proliferation through the activation of the small GTPase RhoA and its downstream effector Rho-kinase.

Analysis of the Human Interaction with a Wearable Lower‐Limb Exoskeleton (2009)

The design of a wearable robotic exoskeleton needs to consider the interaction, either physical or cognitive, between the human user and the robotic device. This paper presents a method to analyse the interaction between the human user and a unilateral, wearable lower‐limb exoskeleton. The lower‐limb exoskeleton function was to compensate for muscle weakness around the knee joint. It is shown that the cognitive interaction is bidirectional; on the one hand, the robot gathered information from the sensors in order to detect human actions, such as the gait phases, but the subjects also modified their gait patterns to obtain the desired responses from the exoskeleton. The results of the two‐phase evaluation of learning with healthy subjects and experiments with a patient case are presented, regarding the analysis of the interaction, assessed in terms of kinematics, kinetics and/or muscle recruitment. Human‐driven response of the exoskeleton after training revealed the improvements in the use of the device, while particular modifications of motion patterns were observed in healthy subjects. Also, endurance (mechanical) tests provided criteria to perform experiments with one post‐polio patient. The results with the post‐polio patient demonstrate the feasibility of providing gait compensation by means of the presented wearable exoskeleton, designed with a testing procedure that involves the human users to assess the human‐robot interaction.
Modeling of Spray Cooling with a Moving Steel Slab during the Continuous Casting Process (2018)

During continuous casting secondary cooling, heat is removed from slab surface through spraying water from arrays of nozzles. Efficient and uniform heat removal without causing slab cracking is desired. The present study focuses on the development and validation of a reliable numerical model which can accurately predict spray formation from flat‐fan atomizers and the heat transfer between impinging droplets and a moving hot steel slab. Water droplets are considered as the discrete phase and are tracked in a Lagrangian framework to allow detailed modeling of breakup, coalescence, and impingement. The droplet size and the heat transfer coefficient on the slab surface are validated. Both simulations show good agreements with the experimental measurements in the center of the spray, where fine droplets are generated through multiple collisions. After droplets impinge on the slab surface, a narrow low temperature region is created inside the spray coverage, and the relative motion of the spray shifts the coverage toward the upstream. Future studies are necessary in order to improve the prediction of droplet‐air interaction near the edge of the spray, where small droplets tend to coalesce and form large ones due to a lower possibility of collision.
Virulence ofPseudomonas aeruginosain a Murine Model of Gastrointestinal Colonization and Dissemination in Neutropenia (2005)

Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia in cancer patients develops from initial gastrointestinal (GI) colonization with translocation into the bloodstream in the setting of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and GI mucosal damage. We established a reproducible mouse model of P. aeruginosa GI colonization and systemic spread during neutropenia. Mice received 2 mg of streptomycin/ml of drinking water and 1,500 U of penicillin G/ml for 4 days and then ingested 10(7) CFU of P. aeruginosa per ml of drinking water for 5 days. After GI colonization levels were determined, cyclophosphamide (Cy) was then injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) three times every other day or an antineutrophil monoclonal antibody, RB6-8C5, was injected i.p. once. Dissemination was defined by the presence of P. aeruginosa in spleens of moribund or dead mice. In this mouse model, P. aeruginosa colonizes the GI tract and then disseminates systemically once Cy or RB6-8C5 is administered. The duration and intensity of neutropenia, related to Cy dose, was found to be a means to compare the virulence of different P. aeruginosa strains, as exhibited by comparisons of strains lacking or producing the virulence-enhancing ExoU cytotoxin. The lipopolysaccharide outer core polysaccharide and O side chains were critical in establishing GI colonization, and P. aeruginosa mutants lacking the aroA gene (necessary for synthesizing aromatic amino acids) were able to establish GI colonization but unable to disseminate. Both the colonization and dissemination phases of P. aeruginosa pathogenesis can be studied in this model, which should prove useful for evaluating pathogenesis, therapies, and associated means to control P. aeruginosa nosocomial infections.
HIGH-SENSITIVITY ABSORPTION MEASUREMENTS IN LIQUIDS AND SOLIDS (2006)

We report on a mode-mismatched pump-probe thermal lens experiment performed to measure low absorption. The use of a collimated probe beam in the presence of a focused excitation beam optimizes the thermal lens experiment. The signal becomes independent on the Rayleigh parameters and waists positions of the beams. We apply this method to study BK7 optical glass and pure water. Linear optical absorption coefficient spectra in the range of 457-528 nm were determined.

Protective effects of kaempferol against cardiac sinus node dysfunction via CaMKII deoxidization (2015)

Kaempferol exerts cardioprotective actions through incompletely understood mechanisms. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effects of kaempferol in sinus node dysfunction (SND) heart. Here, we demonstrate that angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion causes SND through oxidized calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII). In contrast to this, kaempferol protects sinus node against Ang II-induced SND. Ang II evoked apoptosis with caspase-3 activation in sinus nodal cells. However, kaempferol lowered the CaMKII oxidization and the sinus nodal cell death. To block the CaMKII oxidization, gene of p47phox, a cytosolic subunit of NADPH oxidase, was deleted using Cas9 KO plasmid. In the absence of p47phox, sinus nodal cells were highly resistance to Ang II-induced apoptosis, suggesting that oxidized-CaMKII contributed to sinus nodal cell death. In Langendorff heart from Ang II infused mice, kaempferol preserved normal impulse formation at right atrium. These data suggested that kaempferol protects sinus node via inhibition of CaMKII oxidization and may be useful for preventing SND in high risk patients.
Optical anisotropy of aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes in polymer (2001)

We have investigated polarized absorption and Raman spectra of aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes in polymer. The optical transitions in nanotubes strongly depend on the angle θ between the polarization of incident light and nanotube axis: the absorbance measured at the peak energy shows a maximum at θ=0°, and they are suppressed at θ=90°. Raman spectra also show strong polarization dependence, which is mainly determined by the dependence of oscillator strength of optical transition in nanotube.

Surface activity of glycerol glycoside palmitates (1972)

Abstract A glycoside ester product was prepared by the transglycosylation of starch and glycerol, which yielded a mixture of 2,3‐dihydroxypropyl‐α‐D‐glucopyranoside and other glycerol glycosides, followed by interesterification of the crude glycerol glycosides with a mixture of mono‐, di‐ and tripalmitin. The purified reaction product, consisting of ca. 77% glycerol glycoside palmitates, 14% palmitins and 9% free palmitic acid, was found to be extremely effective in lowering the interfacial tension between cottonseed oil and water—a 0.04% concentration in the oil phase lowering the interfacial tension to 1.3 dynes/cm.
Poster abstract (2010)

Whirlpool Ad-hoc Routing Protocol (WARP) is a dynamic data collection protocol for wireless sensor networks. Compared to existing protocols, WARP offers order of magnitude improvements in reliability, efficiency, and routing stretch for a moving data sink. When the sink moves, nearby WARP nodes stop forwarding data directly towards the sink. Instead, they speculatively disseminate data packets along loops centered at the last location of the sink. The loop radius progressively increases searching more widely until the sink is found. Finally, WARP embeds a few bits of control information in data packets and aggressively suppresses control packets to further improve its efficiency. We have implementedWARP in TinyOS and evaluated it against the Collection Tree Protocol (CTP) [2], the state-of-art collection protocol for WSNs. For a mobile sink, WARP had significantly better reliability and efficiency, achieving over 90% reliability for a wide range of speeds and data rates, compared to below 10% reliability of CTP.

Das Problem der “inkompletten” Antikörper (1974)

Diese Befunde rücken natiirlich auch das Problem der sogen. “inkompletten” Antikörper in ein neues Licht. Zu dieser Fragestellung haben wir an anderer Stelle ausführlich uns geäußert (Uhlenbruck und Prokop. 1967). Dabei geht es letztlich um eine Erklärung der Tatsache, warum manche Antikörper — meist vom Typ IgB-Erythrozyten (oder auch andere Zellen) nur nach Vorbehandlung mit Neuraminidase oder proteolytischen Enzymen unter Zuhilfenahme von sogen. Supplementen (Albumin, Dextran) agglutinieren. Wir haben seinerzeit die Auffassung vertreten, daß das nicht agglutinierende Verhalten dieser “inkompletten” Antikörper lediglich eine Eigenschaft der Membranladung, der Membrandicke und der topographischen Arealdistribution bzw. Tiefenlokalisation der entsprechenden Rezeptoren sei. Man muß heute annehmen, daß bei diesem Phänomen mindestens drei Faktoren eine Rolle spielen, welche “nicht agglutinierende” in “agglutinierende” Antikörper verwandeln:
Design and characterization of a fiber optic respiratory plethysmograph (FORP) (1996)

Invasive techniques used in the measurement of respiration are often regarded as cumbersome, distressing to the subject and in some cases impractical for prolonged use. A current non- invasive alternative is the respiratory inductive plethysmograph (RIP), widely used in the clinical environment. The RIP, however, is expensive and prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and is therefore unsuitable in such environments as the interior of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. This research focuses on the development and construction of an all-optical analogue of the RIP, the fiber optic respiratory plethysmograph (FORP). A number of calibration techniques, both linear and non-linear, have been investigated to determine the relationship between the ribcage and abdomen during breathing. An evaluation of these techniques has provided an efficient method of respiratory volume monitoring. The results of testing the device using the various calibration methods are presented.
