A pulsed IR laser light focused to a spot of 6 mum and scanned over the entire detector with 0.5 mum resolution is used to create electron hole pairs throughout the detector simulating m.i.p. For each laser beam position the induced current shape is measured for three neighboring channels. Charge collection and sharing, current pulse shape and timing properties are studied as a function of position, voltage and fluence.
Amino- and carboxyl-terminal ami coded by gag gene of murine leuke) (2016)

The amino- and carboxyl-terminal amino acid sequences of proteins (plO, p12, pl5, and p30) coded by the gag gene of Rauscher and AKR murine leukemia viruses were de- termined. Among these proteins, p15 from both viruses appears to have a blocked amino end. Proline was found to be the com- mon NH2 terminus of both p30s and both pl2s, and alanine of both plOs. The amino-terminal sequences of p30s are identical, as are those of plOs, while the p12 sequences are clearly dis- tinctive but also show substantial homology. The carboxyl-ter- minal amino acids of both viral p30s and pl2s are leucine and phenylalanine, respectively. Rauscher leukemia virus p15 has tyrosine as the carboxyl terminus while AKR virus p15 has phenylalanine in this position. The compositional and sequence data provide definite chemical criteria for the identification of analogous gag gene products and for the comparison of viral proteins isolated in different laboratories. On the basis of amino acid sequences and the previously proposed H-plS5-p12-p30- plO-COOH peptide sequence in the precursor polyprotein, a model for cleavage sites involved in the post-translational pro- cessing of the precursor coded for by the gag gene is pro-
Analysis of the role of bacterial endospore cortex structure in resistance properties and demonstration of its conservation amongst species (2001)

Endospores made by diverse species most likely have common mechanisms of heat resistance. However, the molecular basis for their resistance remains elusive.
Modulation of Cell Cycle Progression in the Spermatocyte Cell Line [GC-2spd(ts) Cell-Line] by Cigarette Smoke Condensate (CSC) via Arylhydrocarbon Receptor-Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 (Ahr-Nrf2) Pathway1 (2013)

Prior studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) activates arylhydrocarbon receptor (Ahr) leading to upregulation of several antioxidant enzymes in murine spermatocytes. In this study, we show that exposure of the spermatocyte cell line GC-2spd(ts) to CSC induces an increase in Cyp1a1, demonstrating AHR activation, and simultaneous expression and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), where it is believed to modulate Ahr expression by a feedback mechanism. Pharmacological inhibition by the AHR-antagonist CH223191 and interference by Ahr- and Nrf2-small interfering RNA followed by quantitative real-time PCR implicate the Ahr-Nrf2 pathway in the modulation of DNA damage and growth suppression genes such as Gadd45a and P21 and oxidative stress-related genes Cyp1a1, Nrf2, and Ahrr. Flow cytometry accompanied with cell proliferation assay indicate the CSC induces accumulation of spermatocytes at the S-G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Thus, the data obtained suggest that CSC contains several AHR-agonists that are capable of altering the growth pattern of spermatocytes in vitro through the Ahr-Nrf2 signaling mechanism.
A way to reduce environmental impact of ladle furnace slag (2009)

In the last decades the European steel industry has made continuous efforts to reduce residues and byproducts and to increase recycling in order to reduce its environmental impact. While some steelmaking slags have been widely characterised and, to a certain extent reused, ladle furnace (LF) slag is used in different applications because of its specific properties. The main purpose of the case study presented in this paper concerns the reduction of potential LF slag environmental impacts, because of its intrinsic physicochemical properties. During the handling and cooling of LF slag, it disintegrates into a powder due to instability of the dicalcium silicate, causing an increase in dust emissions to the environment. The approach presented in this paper aims to reduce this phenomenon in order to achieve a more sustainable solution in term of reduction of powder dispersion in the environment, of costs saving and of nuisance reduction in the surroundings areas.

Coloration reaction of a crowned 2,4-dinitrophenylazophenol-barium(II) complex with amines and its application to flow injection spectrophotometry (1989)

The coloration reaction of a crowned 2,4-dinitrophenylazophenol (HCDPA)-BaII complex with 28 different amines was examined in a non-aqueous solvent (methanol). The absorbances of the resulting chromogens were measured and it was found that a linear relationship existed between the apparent molar absorptivities (a) of the complexes and the pKa values of the corresponding amines, and that amines having a large pKa value gave a large a value. A flow injection spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trimethylamine (TMA) with the HCDPA-BaII complex as chromogenic reagent. The proposed method is simple and sensitive (0.6–3.0 µg per 50 µl for TMA), and can be applied to the determination of total volatile amines as the content of TMA in fish.

New insights into malignant cell survival mechanisms in medulloblastoma (2015)

mRNA translation and protein synthesis is an important determinant for cell metabolism and cell homeostasis. Perturbations in cellular homeostasis often result in activation of negative feedback loops as compensatory mechanisms. Although, these mechanisms are important for mammalian cells to adjust to environmental changes, they also pose a major challenge for targeted cancer therapy as they provide escape mechanisms for cancer cells. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a crucial regulator of mRNA translation, protein synthesis and metabolism and represents an attractive target for anticancer therapy. We have recently reported that selective inhibition of mTORC1 by rapamycin or its analogs in medulloblastoma cells results in phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) on serine-209, an event known to be associated with induction of protein translation and cell transformation. We have also previously established that this event is mediated by mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase-interacting kinase 2 (Mnk2) independently of MAPKs, the conventional activators of Mnks. Here we discuss the implications for our current understanding of negative feedback regulation by mTOR and Mnk in cancer.
Observation of multiple wavelength soliton collisions in optical systems with fiber amplifiers (1990)

Solitons of different wavelengths are found to exhibit substantial spectral and temporal changes when collisions are centered in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. By using two soliton pulse trains, with ∼70-ps-wide pulses, spectrally separated by 1.8 Å, and 106 km of non-dispersion-shifted fiber, we observe a spectral and temporal shift of as much as 0.35 Å and 55 ps, respectively, for each soliton. Both soliton wavelengths shift the same amount, but in opposite directions and remain undisturbed in terms of shape and amplitude after the collision. This shift may impose limitations on multiple wavelength soliton based communication systems utilizing fiber amplifiers.
Appendix. Structural predictions on alpha 2-macroglobulin from the amino acid sequence. (1984)

The composite result from three different methods predicts that alpha 2-macroglobulin has a predominant pattern of alternating beta-strands and turns. Only scattered pieces of alpha-helix are present throughout its sequence. Predicted beta-strands constitute 43.8% and helices 8.6%, in fair agreement with circular dichroism spectra. Circular dichroism spectra and sequence data suggest that the tertiary structure of complement component C3b is similar to that of the alpha 2 macroglobulin monomer. At present, the beta-barrel configuration of prealbumin seems to be a better model than those of soybean trypsin inhibitor, serine proteases, and immunoglobulins. A repetitive pattern of disulfide loops could indicate structural units of about 200 residues in size, but this is not supported by amino acid sequence homology. The hydropathic pattern of the sequence reveals numerous examples of predicted immunogenic peptides and detects an approximately 100-residue hydrophobic core region, which could constitute parts of the tentatively assigned consecutive activation cleavage and thiol ester domains. This core is an obvious candidate of rearrangement transfer between the highly exposed bait region and the partly shielded thiol ester site. The presumed intersubunit half-cystine is moderately buried and has two nearby patches of high charge density which could guide the dimeric assembling.
Flexor Tendon Reconstruction (2019)

Our series documents a very unusual "desirable" event following the first-stage flexor tendon reconstruction. The study also documents the lack of silicone rod-related complications on long-term follow-up. The results may also encourage the use of permanent implants in flexor tendon reconstruction.
An FPGA cached sparse matrix vector product (SpMV) for unstructured computational fluid dynamics simulations (2021)

Field Programmable Gate Arrays generate algorithmic specific architectures that improve the code's FLOP per watt ratio. Such devices are re-gaining interest due to the rise of new tools that facilitate their programming, such as OmpSs. The computational fluid dynamics community is always investigating new architectures that can improve its algorithm's performance. Commonly, those algorithms have a low arithmetic intensity and only reach a small percentage of the peak performance. The sparse matrix-vector multiplication is one of the most time-consuming operations on unstructured simulations. The matrix's sparsity pattern determines the indirect memory accesses of the multiplying vector. This data path is hard to predict, making traditional implementations fail. In this work, we present an FPGA architecture that maximizes the vector's re-usability by introducing a cache-like architecture. The cache is implemented as a circular list that maintains the BRAM vector components while needed. Following this strategy, up to 16 times of acceleration is obtained compared to a naive implementation of the algorithm.
MP66-04 GONADAL FUNCTION AND REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM ANATOMY IN POST PUBERAL PRUNE BELLY SYNDROME PATIENTS (2017)

Patients with PBS may have normal sexual hormonal levels. Motile spermatozoa were found in half of the patients. Our study highlights a high prevalence of prostate and seminal vesicle abnormalities that may represent an important cause for their infertility.
Selective Nimblewill (Muhlenbergia schreberi) Control in Cool-Season Turfgrass (2007)

Isoxaflutole and mesotrione have been used to control creeping bentgrass in cool season turf, these experiments evaluate these two products for selective nimblewill control. Three experiments were conducted in Virginia and Tennessee to evaluate selective control options for nimblewill in cool-season turfgrass. Single applications of isoxaflutole control nimblewill more effectively than single applications of mesotrione. Nimblewill control 8 wk after initial treatment (WAIT) increased as mesotrione rates increased from 28 to 280 g ai/ha, and isoxaflutole rates increased from 28 to 168 g/ha. Isoxaflutole at 84 and 168 g/ha were the only single application treatments that controlled nimblewill greater than 80% 8 WAIT. However, sequential applications of isoxaflutole and mesotrione at 28 g/ha, 10 d apart controlled nimblewill 94 and 80%, respectively 8 WAIT. Triclopyr and fenoxaprop-p did not effectively control nimblewill and caused unacceptable turfgrass injury. Long-term control was not evaluated in these studies. However, it was concluded that isoxaflutole and mesotrione at appropriate rates and applied in sequence selectively control nimblewill without harming desirable turf.
Hygroscopic Properties of Pasadena, California Aerosol (2001)

The hygroscopic behavior of Pasadena, CA aerosol was continuously measured from August 15 to September 15, 1999 using a tandem differential mobility analyzer. Two dry particle sizes were sampled, 50 nm and 150 nm in diameter; humidification of the dry aerosol was carried out at 89% relative humidity. Complex growth patterns were observed for both size modes, with aerosol distributions splitting from a single mode at times to more than 6 modes. Diurnal profiles for the observed multiple peaks were noted, with the greatest number of measurable growth modes being found during the late night and predawn hours for 50 mn particles. For 150 nm particles, more modes were present during the afternoon hours, with the humidified aerosol becoming bimodal during the late night/early morning hours. Growth factors, defined as the ratio of humidified particle diameter (at 89%) to dry diameter, were determined for modes with significant number concentrations. Average growth factors over the sampling period for the 2 particle sizes ranged from 1.0 to 1.6. Hygroscopic growth increased in the latter half of the sampling period when forest fires were present. In short, treating this complex urban aerosol as a combination of "less" and "more" hygroscopic fractions is an oversimplification.
Quantum Data Compression of Ensembles of Mixed States with Commuting Density Operators (2001)

We provide a rate distortion interpretation of the problem of quantum data compression of ensembles of mixed states with commuting density operators. There are two versions of this problem. In the visible case the sequence of states is available to the encoder and in the blind or hidden case the encoder may access only a sequence of measurements. We find the exact optimal compression rates for both the visible and hidden cases. Our analysis includes the scenario in which asymptotic reconstruction is imperfect.
Automatic tuning of flexible interventional RF receiver coils (2005)

Microcontroller-based circuitry was built and tested for automatically tuning flexible RF receiver coils at the touch of a button. This circuitry is robust to 10% changes in probe center frequency, is in line with the scanner, and requires less than 1 s to tune a simple probe. Images were acquired using this circuitry with a varactor-tunable 1-inch flexible probe in a phantom and in an in vitro porcine knee model. The phantom experiments support the use of automatic tuning by demonstrating 30% signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) losses for 5% changes in coil center frequency, in agreement with theoretical calculations. Comparisons between patellofemoral cartilage images obtained using a 3-inch surface coil and the surgically-implanted 1-inch flexible coil reveal a worst-case local SNR advantage of a factor of 4 for the smaller coil. This work confirms that surgically implanted coils can greatly improve resolution in small-field-of-view (FOV) applications, and demonstrates the importance and feasibility of automatically tuning such probes.
A 0.5-to-1 V 9-bit 15-to-90 MS/s digitally interpolated pipelined-SAR ADC using dynamic amplifier (2014)

This paper presents a 0.5-to-1 V, 9-bit, 15-to-90 MS/s digitally interpolated pipelined-SAR ADC. The proposed digital interpolation alleviates the inter-stage gain requirement of a pipelined-SAR ADC making this ADC insensitive to gain variation. With a relaxed gain requirement, an open-loop dynamic amplifier is employed as the residue amplifier making the proposed design high-speed, clock-scalable, and robust to supply voltage scaling. The prototype ADC fabricated in 65 nm CMOS demonstrates an ENOB of 7.88 bits up to 30 MS/s with an input close to the Nyquist frequency at 0.6 V. At this conversion rate, it consumes 0.48 mW resulting in a FoM of 68 fJ/conv.-step.
Stresses in Dilute Solutions of Bead-Nonlinear-Spring Macromolecules. II. Unsteady Flows and Approximate Constitutive Relations (1975)

Some numerical calculations of the distribution function for bead positions in a linear-locked-spring dumbbell are presented together with stresses for transient (start-of-shearing) flows. Based upon the idea that this distribution function is sharply peaked in these and other results obtained previously, an approximate constitutive equation of novel form is deduced. The results of stress calculations from the approximate constitutive equations are then compared to those from the numerical work. Some further results for another spring law similar in form to the Langevin spring are also given for comparison. It is concluded that constitutive equations of the type presented are useful for certain classes of flows.
Designing efficient sorting algorithms for manycore GPUs (2009)

We describe the design of high-performance parallel radix sort and merge sort routines for manycore GPUs, taking advantage of the full programmability offered by CUDA. Our radix sort is the fastest GPU sort and our merge sort is the fastest comparison-based sort reported in the literature. Our radix sort is up to 4 times faster than the graphics-based GPUSort and greater than 2 times faster than other CUDA-based radix sorts. It is also 23% faster, on average, than even a very carefully optimized multicore CPU sorting routine. To achieve this performance, we carefully design our algorithms to expose substantial fine-grained parallelism and decompose the computation into independent tasks that perform minimal global communication. We exploit the high-speed onchip shared memory provided by NVIDIA's GPU architecture and efficient data-parallel primitives, particularly parallel scan. While targeted at GPUs, these algorithms should also be well-suited for other manycore processors.
Comparison of cytotoxicity of various surfactants tested on normal human fibroblast cultures using the neutral red test, MTT assay and LDH release (1999)

We used the neutral red test, MTT assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release to compare the potential cytotoxicity of six surfactants belonging to different classes--three non-ionic surfactants (Triton x100, octylphenoxypolyethoxy alcohol, from Orion; Tween 60, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate, from ICI Speciality Chemicals; Tween 80, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate, from Labosi), two anionic surfactants (Texapon K1298, sodium lauryl sulphate, from Henkel; Texapon N40, sodium laurylether sulphate, from Henkel) and one cationic surfactant (benzethonium chloride, from Siber Hegner)--on human fibroblast cultures. According to the LC50 (microg ml(-1)), the tested surfactants can be classified in the following order of increasing cytotoxicity: Tween 80 < Texapon N40 < Tween 60 < Texapon K1298 < Triton x100 < benzethonium chloride.
Layout Optimization of Branch Pipeline Network on Curved Surface Using Genetic Algorithm (2014)

Branch structure is common in oil and gas field gathering system. The rational determination of the pipe network structure and pipelines trend is an important part of the gathering system design. The previous optimization of tree structure is usually studied under two dimensions and the distances between stations, which are represented by straight lines. The study can neither correctly reflect the real situation nor get the optimal solution, because of the dramatic topographic. This paper firstly deals with the shortest route issue on a curved surface. The common way to solve the problem is variational method. However, the method relies on the surface function, which becomes the constraints hard to deal with. The author would obtain the optimal route between two points with the genetic algorithm. Both steady state (SS) and generational (GN) GAs were implemented for the test problem. The performance of a GA generally depends on the selected GA parameters, in particular the crossover and mutation probabilities. Based on the variation of crossover and mutation probability CP and MP in the range of 0.4–1.0 and 0.0005–0.3, the sensitivity of GA to the Gas was therefore established. The best solution has been found by GN GA based on the average evaluation value of the best solutions, which obtained from fifty independent GA runs. According to the case analysis, a 21.73% reduction in total length of the pipeline has been found by using GA. The results presented show that the GA is a robust and stable technique for the solution of route optimization problem. According to further study, the practice of engineering designs are often carried out under two dimensions by using minimum spanning tree algorithm to realize the layout optimization of pipe network. On a curved surface, with the GA above, one can get the trends of each pipe section without changing the connection relationship and the total length of the network is reduced by 12.21%. Yet the connection within a plane cannot guarantee the optimum solution, thus the paper developed the optimization model of branch structure distribution within a curved surface. According to the case analysis, the previous connection relationship between points has been changed, further reducing the total length by 0.97%. In conclusion, the technique in this paper can determine the optimal pipeline laying route, effectively develop the network structure and reduce the total length of pipelines.
