Reaction Networks and Population Dynamics (2018)

Reaction systems and population dynamics constitute two highly developed areas of research that build on well-defined model classes, both in terms of dynamical systems and stochastic processes. Despite a significant core of common structures, the two fields have largely led separate lives. The workshop brought the communities together and emphasised concepts, methods and results that have, so far, appeared in one area but are potentially useful in the other as well.
3528 Visualized Demonstration Test of Steam Injector driven Reactor Core Coolant Passive Injection System (2005)

We are developing technologies for "Innovative Simplified Nuclear Power Plants" in order to improve the economy and safety for the further nuclear power plants. The purpose of our developing technologies is to significantly simplify equipment and reduce physical quantities by applying "High-Efficiency Steam Injector (SI)". It is applicable to wide operational ranges beyond the performance and applicable range of existing steam injectors. We adapted the multistage SI and parallel operation to replace the low-pressure feedwater heaters with SIs. Emergency Core Cooling Systems of nuclear power plants can be replaced by SIs to achieve high inherent safety free from severe accidents by keeping the core covered with water (Severe Accident-Free Concept). This report describes the demonstration test of the visualization of water injection into the core by applying a Low-Pressure SI to validate the capability of a SI-driven Core Coolant Passive Injection System. This research project is carried out by Tokyo Electric Power Company, Toshiba Corporation, and six Universities in Japan, funded from the Institute of Applied Energy of Japan as the national public research-funded program.
Ambulatory estimation of ankle and foot dynamics and center of mass movement (2008)

Traditionally, human body movement analysis is done in socalled ‘gait laboratories’, equipped with several measurement systems such as optical position measurement systems, EMG or force plates. The measured signals are used to estimate important gait variables. An important variable is the center of mass, an imaginary point at which the total body mass can be assumed to be concentrated. Several methods exist for center of mass estimation, of which the segmental kinematics method and the double integration of ground reaction force method are the most important ones. Other important variables are joint moment and powers. These can be estimated from estimations of body movement and ground reaction forces by applying inverse dynamics methods. A major drawback of the existing systems is the restriction to the laboratory environment. Therefore research is required for the development of measurement systems to perform these measurements in an ambulatory environment. The objective of this study is to give an overview of the possibilities of the forceshoe. The forceshoe is an ambulatory measurement system able to measure the ground reaction force and movement of foot and ankle.
A Survey of Indexing Techniques for Scalable Record Linkage and Deduplication (2011)

Record linkage is the process of matching records from several databases that refer to the same entities. When applied on a single database, this process is known as deduplication. Increasingly, matched data are becoming important in many application areas, because they can contain information that is not available otherwise, or that is too costly to acquire. Removing duplicate records in a single database is a crucial step in the data cleaning process, because duplicates can severely influence the outcomes of any subsequent data processing or data mining. With the increasing size of today's databases, the complexity of the matching process becomes one of the major challenges for record linkage and deduplication. In recent years, various indexing techniques have been developed for record linkage and deduplication. They are aimed at reducing the number of record pairs to be compared in the matching process by removing obvious nonmatching pairs, while at the same time maintaining high matching quality. This paper presents a survey of 12 variations of 6 indexing techniques. Their complexity is analyzed, and their performance and scalability is evaluated within an experimental framework using both synthetic and real data sets. No such detailed survey has so far been published.
Complex networks of interacting solitons: Noise-enhanced memory and self-synchronization (2008)

We propose complex networks constructed from interacting vector solitons. Within soliton-based networks, we demonstrate memory effects that are greatly enhanced by noise, as well as spontaneous entire network self-synchronization effects.
Clonal genetic and hematopoietic heterogeneity among human-induced pluripotent stem cell lines (2013)

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold great promise for modeling human hematopoietic diseases. However, intrinsic variability in the capacities of different iPSC lines for hematopoietic development complicates comparative studies and is currently unexplained. We created and analyzed 3 separate iPSC clones from fibroblasts of 3 different normal individuals using a standardized approach that included excision of integrated reprogramming genes by Cre-Lox mediated recombination. Gene expression profiling and hematopoietic differentiation assays showed that independent lines from the same individual were generally more similar to one another than those from different individuals. However, one iPSC line (WT2.1) exhibited a distinctly different gene expression, proliferation rate, and hematopoietic developmental potential relative to all other iPSC lines. This "outlier" clone also acquired extensive copy number variations (CNVs) during reprogramming, which may be responsible for its divergent properties. Our data indicate how inherent and acquired genetic differences can influence iPSC properties, including hematopoietic potential.
Screening of Islet Autoantibodies for Children in the General Population: A Position Statement Endorsed by the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (2022)

This paper, endorsed by the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE), discusses the issues of a screening program in the general population with the hope that uncertainties and difficulties in this field will be overcome by better screening methods, improved cost-effectiveness, reliable treatments for secondary prevention, and relevant delay in clinically evident T1D in children and adolescents.
New theatre for new times: decentralisation, innovation and pluralism, 1975–2000 (2004)

In 1988 three events took place that characterised the Zeitgeist of the decade and marked as clear a break with the cultural and theatrical practices of the 1960s and 1970s as the Conservative Party victory in May 1979 had signalled in British politics. Firstly, in October the magazine Marxism Today produced an overview of the impact of recent developments in industrial capitalism on global economies and societies: it provocatively entitled its survey 'New Times'. This followed hard upon its response to the successes of the 'new' and 'radical' Right, whose figureheads were President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: a revised programme for the British Communist Party, which the Morning Star newspaper described as the 'final abandonment of … Marxist-Leninist principles'. Secondly, that same month the style magazine The Face published its 'Killer 100th Issue!', offering 200 pages of quintessentially post-modern bricolage, in which Becks beer sponsorship was effortlessly sutured to harrowing images of famine victims, and lists of sound-bites haphazardly juxtaposed London's Docklands with Japan and Reagan with Trouble Funk, the 'hippest groove on the globe'. Its art director, Neville Brody, had famously described this wilful deconstruction of journalistic and narrative coherence as 'Every typeface tells its own lie'.
An Innovative Method for Voltage Detection in Overhead Line Systems (2018)

The condition monitoring of overhead lines is a central task of network operators. The monitoring of overhead line currents, e.g., with overhead line indicators, is already state of the art. Due to the increase in the number of decentralized generators, the power flow is not more uni-directional. As a consequence, the direction of fault currents can no longer be determined in a simple manner, as knowledge of the overhead line voltage is required to determine the power flow direction. This paper presents a sensor concept with a calculation method to detect the high voltage of an overhead line using sensors which are galvanically isolated from the ground potential. The new method has been successfully verified with measurements on a simulated overhead line in HV labs.
3723 Aging Effect and Sexual Difference in Pointing Characteristics on a Touch-Screen (2005)

The present study aims to establish a guideline for designing of GUI (e.g., software-keyboards) for touch-screens, so as to reduce the "digital divide" in our society. As a first step to this goal, we examined the aging effect and sexual difference on the dynamical properties of pointing movements on a touch-screen. The major results are as follows: 1. Pitts' law (MT=α log_2 D/S+β) did not necessarily hold when the subjects repeated pointing movements between two targets locations on the screen (D is the distance between the targets, S is the size of the target). Rather, the increase in the movement time (MT) was linearly related to the the index of difficulty (ID=D/S), this is, MT=α D/S+β. 2. Coefficient α and intercept β were not significantly different between the movements in left-right direction and in depth direction. 3. No sexual difference was found in the magnitude of α and β. 4. The intercept β linearly correlated to the subjects' ages while the coefficient α took almost the same value irrespective of the ages.

Impaired Vasodilator Function of Nitric Oxide Associated with Developing Neo-lntima in Conscious Rabbits (1994)

The aim of this study was to use periarterial manipulation to produce an atheroma-like neo-intima in rabbits and study resting blood flow and vascular responsiveness in vivo. One common carotid artery was enclosed in a silastic collar to induce a neo-intima similar to that of human early atherosclerosis, and carotid blood flow was measured periodically over 8 days in 8 conscious rabbits. The vasodilator responses to intravenous infusions of the endothelium-dependent vasodilator, acetylcholine, and glyceryl trinitrate were measured in each artery at 2 and 7 days after surgical placement of the collar, and again following infusion of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, N-nitro-L-arginine (NOLA, 15 mg/kg). Histological examination of the arterial segments at completion of the study revealed significant intimal thickening of the regions of artery enclosed in the collar. Resting blood flow was lower in the collared vascular bed as compared with the control, from as early as 2 days after surgery. Acetylcholine- and glyceryl trinitrate-induced decreases in carotid resistance, however, were no different between the arteries after 2 days. At 7 days after surgery, the vasodilator response to acetylcholine was significantly impaired in the collared vascular bed when compared with the control, while the glyceryl trinitrate-induced vasodilatation was similar in the two beds. Following NOLA infusion, mean arterial pressure was significantly increased and blood flow through both arteries was reduced. After NOLA, acetylcholine-induced vasodilatation in the collared vascular bed was no longer different from the vasodilatation in the control bed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
The sequence of the 6S RNA gene ofPseudomonas aeruginosa (1987)

From the gram-negative eubacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa we have isolated a stable 6S RNA, approximately 180 nucleotides in length. The RNA was partially sequenced and identified by comparison with the known Escherichia coli 6S RNA sequence. Southern hybridizations revealed a single copy gene coding for the 6S RNA. DNA from other prokaryotes, i.e. E. coli, Thermus thermophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Halobacterium maris mortui, did not give detectable hybridization signals. The 6S RNA gene was cloned in E. coli and its complete primary structure was determined. Although the 6S RNA sequences from P. aeruginosa and E. coli share only a 60.4% homology, we are able to propose a common secondary structural model.

Causes of Death Among Stillbirths (2012)

The stillbirth rate in the United States is higher than that of other developed countries. Since 2003, the rate has stagnated at 6.2 stillbirths per 1000 births. There is a lack of information on causes of stillbirth. Strategies to reduce the stillbirth rate will require systematic investigation into the cause of death. The stillbirth rate among non-Hispanic black women is 2.3-fold higher than that of non-Hispanic white women. This racial disparity is largely unexplained. This multicenter population-based case-control study determined the causes of death among stillbirths and stratified the causes according to race/ethnicity. All stillbirths that occurred at 20 weeks or later between 2006 and 2008 were examined in data from 59 tertiary care and community hospitals that had access to at least 90% of the stillbirth and live birth deliveries in 5 catchment areas defined by state and county boundaries. Data on deliveries resulting from termination of a live fetus were excluded. Several outcome measures were evaluated to systematically assign causes of death. Standardized perinatal postmortem examination and placental pathology evaluation were performed at delivery. Other outcome measures included medical history, karyotype, and other laboratory tests. Of the 663 women with stillbirth enrolled, 500 (75.4%) allowed a complete postmortem examination of their 512 stillborn neonates. Among the stillbirths, a probable cause of death was found for 312 cases (60.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 56.5%–65.2%) and possible or probable cause for 390 (76.2%; 95% CI, 72.2%–79.8%). The most common causes of death were the following: obstetric complications (29.3%; 95% CI, 25.4%–33.5%), placental abnormalities (23.6%; 95% CI, 20.1%–27.6%), fetal genetic/structural abnormalities (13.7%; 95% CI, 10.9%–17.0%), infection (12.9%; 95% CI, 10.2%–16.2%), umbilical cord abnormalities (10.4%; 95% CI, 7.9%–13.4%), hypertensive disorders (9.2%; 95% CI, 6.9%–12.1%), and other maternal medical complications (7.8%; 95% CI, 5.7%–10.6%). Compared with non-Hispanic white women and all Hispanics, non-Hispanic black women had a higher proportion of stillbirths associated with obstetric complications (43.5% vs. 23.7%; difference: 19.8%; 95% CI, 9.7%–29.9%; P < 0.001) and infections (25.2% vs. 7.8%; difference: 17.4%; 95% CI, 9.0%–25.8%; P < 0.001). Intrapartum and early in gestation stillbirths were more common among non-Hispanic black women. The most likely sources contributing to identifying a probable or possible cause of death were placental histology (52.3%; 95% CI, 47.9%–56.7%), perinatal postmortem examination (31.4%; 95% CI, 27.5%–35.7%), and karyotype (9%; 95% CI, 6.3%–12.5%). These findings show that a systematic and thorough evaluation of a population-based cohort led to a probable or possible cause of death for the majority of cases of stillbirth. Causes were differentially distributed by race/ethnicity.
The impact of piston thermal barrier coating roughness on high-load diesel operation (2019)

Thermal barrier coatings of various thickness and surface roughness were applied to the piston crown of a single-cylinder research engine and tested over a range of high-output diesel operating conditions, some near 30 bar gross indicated mean effective pressure. Three yttria-stabilized zirconia coated pistons were compared to a baseline metal piston. At each operating condition, a start-of-injection sweep was conducted to generate efficiency trends and find the optimal combustion phasing. Three variations of pistons coated with a graded-layer thermal barrier coating were tested: (1) 0.185 mm coating thickness with a surface roughness of approximately Ra = 11.8 µm, (2) 0.325 mm thickness with Ra = 11.8 µm, and (3) 0.325 mm thickness with Ra = 6.0 µm. Both coated pistons with Ra = 11.8 µm did not show any statistically significant improvement to engine performance when compared to the metal baseline piston, but did produce higher filter smoke numbers. The coated piston with Ra = 6.0 µm and 0.325 mm showed an increase of gross indicated thermal efficiency of up to 3.5% (relative) compared to the metal baseline piston for operating conditions comparable to standard engine operation and a reduction of filter smoke number back to the metal baseline. The increase in efficiency was found to correlate with additional late-cycle apparent heat release and a reduction in in-cylinder heat transfer. The very high-output conditions showed statistically insignificant changes in performance or heat transfer, which may have been related to the long injection duration used for these cases targeting outside of the piston bowl.
Propofol anesthesia alters cortical traveling waves (2022)

Abstract Oscillatory dynamics in cortex seem to organize into traveling waves that serve a variety of functions. Recent studies show that propofol, a widely used anesthetic, dramatically alters cortical oscillations by increasing slow-delta oscillatory power and coherence. It is not known how this affects traveling waves. We compared traveling waves across the cortex of non-human primates (NHPs) before, during, and after propofol-induced loss-of-consciousness (LOC). After LOC, traveling waves in the slow-delta (∼ 1Hz) range increased, grew more organized, and travelled in different directions relative to the awake state. Higher frequency (8-30 Hz) traveling waves, by contrast, decreased, lost structure, and switched to directions where the slow-delta waves were less frequent. The results suggest that LOC may be due, in part, to changes in slow-delta traveling waves that, in turn, alter and disrupt traveling waves in the higher frequencies associated with cognition.
Boeing: Meeting Customer's Needs, Now and Future Engineering & Technology Management (2013)

In this class we were asked to select a company and develop a technology roadmap. The company we selected was Boeing because of our interest in the topic and the amount of information that is available through websites, magazines, and journals. The methodology that was used to analyze the aircraft industry was Porter’s Five Forces. This helped us to focus our efforts as we brainstormed market drivers for our roadmap.
Detection of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus Using an Inhibition Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (1986)

An inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus. In this assay the presence of virus was determined by measuring the decrease in titer of a known antiserum after incubation with a sample suspected to contain virus. The titer of the antiserum was measured with an indirect enzyme-linked assay. Compared to the double antibody sandwich method this assay required fewer reagents (only one anti-IPN serum was required). This assay was also sensitive enough to detect virus at levels of 1 X 10(2) TCID 50/ml. of purified virus and was able to detect virus in samples obtained in the field.
Mechanism of inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection by the interaction of the spike glycoprotein with heparin (2021)

Heparin has been found to have antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2. Here, by means of sliding window docking, molecular dynamics simulations and biochemical assays, we investigate the binding mode of heparin to the virus spike glycoprotein and the molecular basis for its antiviral activity. The simulations show that heparin binds at long, mostly positively charged patches on the spike, thereby masking the basic residues of the receptor binding domain and of the S1/S2 site. Experiments corroborated the simulation results by showing that heparin inhibits the cleavage of spike by furin by binding to the basic S1/S2 site. Our results indicate that heparin exerts its antiviral activity by both direct and allosteric mechanisms. Furthermore, the simulations provide insights into how heparan sulfate proteoglycans on the host cell can facilitate viral infection. Our results will aid the rational optimization of heparin derivatives for SARS-CoV-2 antiviral therapy.
