Inhibition of light emission in a 2.5 D photonic structure (2014)

We analyse inhibition of emission in a 2.5D photonic structures made up a photonic crystal (PhC) and Bragg mirrors using FDTD simulations. A comparison is made between an isolated PhC membrane and the same PhC suspended onto a Bragg mirror or sandwiched between 2 Bragg mirrors. Strong inhibition of the Purcell factor is observed in a broad spectral range, whatever the in-plane orientation and location of the emitting dipole. We analysed these results numerically and theoretically by simulating the experimentally observed lifetime of a collection of randomly distributed emitters, showing that their average emission rate is decreased by more than one decade, both for coupled or isolated emitters.
Ag–DNA Emitter: Metal Nanorod or Supramolecular Complex? (2016)

Ligand-stabilized luminescent metal clusters, in particular, DNA-based Ag clusters, are now employed in a host of applications such as sensing and bioimaging. Despite their utility, the nature of their excited states as well as detailed structures of the luminescent metal-ligand complexes remain poorly understood. We apply a new joint experimental and theoretical approach based on QM/MM-MD simulations of the fluorescence excitation spectra for three Ag clusters synthesized on a 12-mer DNA. Contrary to a previously proposed "rod-like" model, our results show that (1) three to four Ag atoms suffice to form a partially oxidized nanocluster emitting in visible range; (2) charge transfer from Ag cluster to DNA contributes to the excited states of the complexes; and (3) excitation spectra of the clusters are strongly affected by the bonding of Ag atoms to DNA bases. The presented approach can also provide a practical way to determine the structure and properties of other luminescent metal clusters.

Polyethylene glycol-water and polypropylene glycol-water solutionsas benign reaction solvents (2003)

Aqueous solutions of low molecular weight polypropylene and polyethylene glycol are proposed for use as novel, safe, environmentally friendly solvents. Not only are these solvents relatively nontoxic, but they are also nonvolatile, which eliminates the possibility of fugitive gaseous emissions. Many organic compounds have been found to be soluble in these polyglycol solutions; thus, they could be used as replacement solvents in various chemical processes. One use of the solvents could be as the medium for conducting chemical reactions, and this has been investigated. In particular, three classes of organic reactions, S N 1, S N 2, and Diels-Alder, have been conducted in the polyglycol solutions. Rate constants were obtained and compared to those for the traditional organic solvents. For the S N 1 reaction and the Diels-Alder reactions, the rate constants in the polyglycol solvents were greater than those found for the frequently used organic solvents.
"Bilateral knuckle" technique and Stingray re-entry system for retrograde chronic total occlusion intervention. (2011)

We report a novel technique for retrograde chronic total occlusion intervention, in which the lesion is crossed by forming and advancing a "knuckle" in both the antegrade and retrograde guidewire, followed by reentry in the true lumen by using the Stingray re-entry system.
Low-temperature growth of high resistivity GaAs by photoassisted metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (1994)

We report the photoassisted low-temperature (LT) metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of high resistivity GaAs. The undoped as-grown GaAs exhibits a resistivity of ∼106 Ω cm, which is the highest reported for undoped material grown in the MOCVD environment. Photoassisted growth of doped and undoped device quality GaAs has been achieved at a substrate temperature of 400 °C in a modified atmospheric pressure MOCVD reactor. By using silane as a dopant gas, the LT photoassisted doped films have high levels of doping and electron mobilities comparable to those achieved by MOCVD for growth temperatures, Tg≳600 °C.
Residual statics estimation by optimizing a complexity-reduced stacking-power function (1996)

The ultimate goal of residual statics estimation in seismic data processing is to obtain highquality stacked seismic sections. One measure of the stacking quality is the stacking-power function. Therefore, statics estimation process is a mathematical optimization problem where we look for the best time-shift among traces that the stacking-power is maximum.
Experimental Verification of a Motor with Two Axially-Arranged Rotors (2019)

Electric vehicles are equipped with a number of electric motors and their inverters. In order to reduce the space of the motors, we have proposed a motor with two concentrically-arranged rotors which can be independently controlled, and a common outer stator. However, the previous motor was difficult to be practically used due to its complicated support structure. Therefore, we proposed an improved motor with two axially-arranged rotors. In this paper, the static and dynamic characteristics of the motor are computed and verified by carrying out measurements on a prototype. Both results were in good agreement, and the effectiveness of the proposed motor was shown.
Vitamin Requirements of Several Cellulolytic Rumen Bacteria (1965)

Scott, H. W. (Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, Wooster), and B. A. Dehority. Vitamin requirements of several cellulolytic rumen bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 89:1169-1175. 1965.-Four strains of cellulolytic bacteria recently isolated from in vitro rumen fermentations were used in this study. Nine water-soluble vitamins were tested in single-deletion and single-addition plus biotin experiments, each with and without charcoal-extracted casein hydrolysate. Bacteroides succinogenes A3C and B21a required only biotin under the above experimental conditions. Ruminococcus flavefaciens B34b showed an absolute requirement for biotin and was stimulated by p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) in the single-deletion experiments. In the single-addition plus biotin experiments, PABA and, to a lesser extent, vitamin B(12) appeared to be required for maximal growth. The presence or absence of casein hydrolysate did not affect the vitamin requirements for the aforementioned three strains. In the single-deletion experiments, R. flavefaciens Cla showed an absolute requirement for biotin and, when casein hydrolysate was omitted, for B(12). When casein hydrolysate was present, no requirement for B(12) could be observed. In the single-addition experiments where the basal medium contained biotin and casein hydrolysate or B(12), PABA was required for maximal growth; however, the single deletion of PABA caused only slight retardation of growth. Investigation of the B(12) or casein hydrolysate requirement of Cla revealed that a mixture of purified amino acids simulating casein hydrolysate satisfied this requirement. Subsequent work indicated that this requirement could be satisfied by the amino acid methionine.
The Interchromatin Compartment Participates in the Structural and Functional Organization of the Cell Nucleus (2020)

This article focuses on the role of the interchromatin compartment (IC) in shaping nuclear landscapes. The IC is connected with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and harbors splicing speckles and nuclear bodies. It is postulated that the IC provides routes for imported transcription factors to target sites, for export routes of mRNA as ribonucleoproteins toward NPCs, as well as for the intranuclear passage of regulatory RNAs from sites of transcription to remote functional sites (IC hypothesis). IC channels are lined by less-compacted euchromatin, called the perichromatin region (PR). The PR and IC together form the active nuclear compartment (ANC). The ANC is co-aligned with the inactive nuclear compartment (INC), comprising more compacted heterochromatin. It is postulated that the INC is accessible for individual transcription factors, but inaccessible for larger macromolecular aggregates (limited accessibility hypothesis). This functional nuclear organization depends on still unexplored movements of genes and regulatory sequences between the two compartments.
Cutting Edge: Mincle Is Essential for Recognition and Adjuvanticity of the Mycobacterial Cord Factor and its Synthetic Analog Trehalose-Dibehenate (2010)

The mycobacterial cord factor trehalose-6,6-dimycolate (TDM) and its synthetic analog trehalose-6,6-dibehenate (TDB) are potent adjuvants for Th1/Th17 vaccination that activate Syk-Card9 signaling in APCs. In this study, we have further investigated the molecular mechanism of innate immune activation by TDM and TDB. The Syk-coupling adapter protein FcRgamma was essential for macrophage activation and Th17 adjuvanticity. The FcRgamma-associated C-type lectin receptor Mincle was expressed in macrophages and upregulated by TDM and TDB. Recombinant Mincle-Fc fusion protein specifically bound to the glycolipids. Genetic ablation of Mincle abolished TDM/TDB-induced macrophage activation and induction of T cell immune responses to a tuberculosis subunit vaccine. Macrophages lacking Mincle or FcRgamma were impaired in the inflammatory response to Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin. These results establish that Mincle is a key receptor for the mycobacterial cord factor and controls the Th1/Th17 adjuvanticity of TDM and TDB.
Ultra-long coherence times amongst room-temperature solid-state spins (2019)

Solid-state single spins are promising resources for quantum sensing, quantum-information processing and quantum networks, because they are compatible with scalable quantum-device engineering. However, the extension of their coherence times proves challenging. Although enrichment of the spin-zero <sup>12</sup>C and <sup>28</sup>Si isotopes drastically reduces spin-bath decoherence in diamond and silicon, the solid-state environment provides deleterious interactions between the electron spin and the remaining spins of its surrounding. Here we demonstrate, contrary to widespread belief, that an impurity-doped (phosphorus) n-type single-crystal diamond realises remarkably long spin-coherence times. Single electron spins show the longest inhomogeneous spin-dephasing time ([Formula: see text] ms) and Hahn-echo spin-coherence time (T<sub>2</sub> ≈ 2.4 ms) ever observed in room-temperature solid-state systems, leading to the best sensitivities. The extension of coherence times in diamond semiconductor may allow for new applications in quantum technology.
Nanocellulose-Based Nanoporous Filter Paper for Virus Removal Filtration of Human Intravenous Immunoglobulin (2019)

Human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a highly valuable plasma-derived biotherapeutic with several important clinical indications in primary and acquired immunodeficiencies as well as autoimmune diseases, especially neuropathies. Ensuring the viral safety of plasma-derived products, such as human IVIG, is mandatory. Viral filtration is commonly used to affect viral removal in the manufacture of plasma products. Viral filtration of large volumes of a IVIG feed solution can take significant time, the required filter area can be large, and the resultant total cost of filtration is considerable. Therefore, there is a need for a high-capacity filter, which can process large volumes of plasma-derived biotherapeutic products within a short time at reduced cost. Here, we describe for the first time the performance of a nanocellulose-based virus removal filter paper in the processing of human IVIG, which has the potential to address the above-stated issues. The filter exhibited 5–6 log virus clearance of ΦX174 (28 nm; pI 6.6) or MS2 (27 nm; pI 3.9) phages during the filtration of spiked IVIG solutions (11 mg/mL, pH 4.9). To simulate real-life production conditions, filtration at 288 L/m2, corresponding to 3 kg of protein/m2, at 3 bar was undertaken. No substantial filter fouling was evident, with the flux remaining stable throughout filtration at 20–30 L/m2·h. The predicted volumetric capacity Vmax was ≥1700 L/m2, which corresponds to the processing of ≥19 kg/m2 of immunoglobulins. A number of characterization tests encompassing size-exclusion high-pressure liquid chromatography, dynamic light scattering, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirmed immunoglobulin integrity before and after filtration. This study has shown that a mille-feuille filter paper manufacturing process offers the possibility of producing cost-efficient viral removal filters with the required performance capabilities suitable for the processing of plasma-derived immunoglobulins and recombinant monoclonal antibodies.
Release of Thymol, Cinnamaldehyde and Vanillin from Soy Protein Isolate Films into Olive Oil (2011)

This study investigates the release of thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin from soy protein isolate (SPI) films into olive oil. The SPI‐based films were casted with thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin to obtain antimicrobial packaging films. The release of thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin from the SPI films into olive oil at temperatures of 5°C, 20°C, 40°C and 60°C was determined by high‐performance liquid chromatography. The partition coefficients of thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin between the SPI film and the olive oil were obtained. They decreased linearly with the increase of temperature. The diffusion coefficients of thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin were determined by fitting the mathematical model to the experimental data. The Arrhennius equation could adequately describe the relationship between the temperature and the diffusion coefficients of thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin, respectively. The activation energies for the release of thymol, cinnamaldehyde and vanillin were obtained, and they were respectively 55.92, 57.34 and 18.32 kJ mol −1 .

Convection and Transport in a Differentially Heated Enclosure Filled With Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Short- and Long-Time Solutions (2008)

Supercritical fluids are characterized by high densities, high thermal conductivities (compared to gases) and low viscosities, but low thermal diffusivities (compared to liquids). Due to the high compressibility, thermally induced acoustic waves are generated when supercritical fluids are heated/cooled along any bounding surface. In this study, we obtain both short- and long-time solutions for convective flows in a supercritical carbon dioxide filled enclosure. The NIST database 12 [1] is used to obtain the property relations for supercritical carbon dioxide. The generation and propagation of themoacoustic waves produced immediately after rapid heating of a wall are investigated by solving the fully compressible Navier-Stokes equations with an accurate equation of state, via a high-order explicit numerical scheme. For longer time solutions, when the acoustic waves damp out, an implicit solution algorithm is used to simulate the heat transfer in the above enclosure filled with supercritical carbon dioxide for longer periods time. This novel scheme allows us to investigate convective flows in an enclosure filled with supercritical fluid in a comprehensive manner.

A NovelArabidopsis-ColletotrichumPathosystem for the Molecular Dissection of Plant-Fungal Interactions (2004)

The ability of a Colletotrichum sp., originally isolated from Brassica campestris, to infect Arabidopsis thaliana was examined. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)1, 5.8S RNA gene and ITS2 regions of ribosomal (r)DNA showed the pathogen to be Colletotrichum destructivum. The host range was broad, including many cruciferous plants and some legumes. At 25 degrees C, all A. thaliana accessions tested were susceptible to the Brassica isolates of C. destructivum; however, at 15 degrees C, the accession Ws-2 showed a temperature-dependant resistance, in which single epidermal cells underwent a rapid hypersensitive response. Legume isolates of C. destructivum were unable to infect A. thaliana and induced deposition of callose papillae at sites of attempted penetration. In compatible interactions, C. destructivum showed a two-stage, hemibiotrophic infection process. The initial biotrophic phase was associated with large, intracellular primary hyphae and was confined to one epidermal cell; whereas, in the subsequent necrotrophic phase, narrow secondary hyphae extensively colonized the tissue and conidia were produced in acervuli. An efficient transformation system was established for C. destructivum, using Agrobacterium-mediated transfer of DNA. The ability to genetically manipulate both partners in the interaction is an important advantage, and the Arabidopsis-Colletotrichum pathosystem should provide a valuable new model for dissecting plant-fungal interactions.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia: critical evaluation of clinical symptoms and diagnosis in patients with normal and abnormal ultrastructure (2014)

We reported on the clinical characteristics of a large population of patients with PCD and NU. We have shown that systematic performance of biopsy and cell culture increases sensitivity to detect PCD, especially the subtype with NU.PCD with NU has similar clinical characteristics as other PCD types and requires biopsy plus ciliogenesis in culture for optimal diagnostic yield.
RCS Reduction With a Dual Polarized Self-Complementary Connected Array Antenna (2016)

In this paper, a wideband dual polarized self-complementary connected array antenna with low radar cross section (RCS) under normal and oblique incidence is presented. First, an analytical model of the multilayer structure is proposed in order to obtain a fast and reliable predimensioning tool providing an optimized design of the infinite array. The accuracy of this model is demonstrated thanks to comparative simulations with a full wave analysis software. RCS reduction compared to a perfectly conducting flat plate of at least 10 dB has been obtained over an ultrawide bandwidth of nearly 7:1 at normal incidence and 5:1 (3.8 to 19 GHz) at 60° in both polarizations. These performances are confirmed by finite element tearing and interconnecting computations of finite arrays of different sizes. Finally, the realization of a 28 × 28 cell prototype and measurement results are detailed.
Fabrication of N/sup +/-N iso-type diodes with LPCVD-grown polysilicon on silicon structures (1997)

We report the results of fabricating low cut-in voltage, n/sup +/-n iso-type diodes using in situ phosphorus-doped polysilicon films on n-type Si substrates. The electrical characteristics of these structures show exponential current-voltage (I-V) behavior. The temperature dependence of the current is used to extract the energy barrier at the film-substrate interface. The formation of the energy barrier is assumed to be due to the presence of energy states at the polysilicon-substrate interface. A simple phenomenological model, which takes into account the interface charge, is presented to explain the formation of the energy barrier. An energy barrier height of about 0.18 eV is extracted from the results of I-V characteristics at different ambient temperatures.
Theoretical Analysis of Photoacoustic Displacement for Inhomogeneous Materials (1994)

A method for theoretically analyzing photoacoustic displacement (PAD) induced by a pump beam in a three-dimensional model is presented. The analysis is based on rigorous methods in terms of temperature fields expanded by eigenmodes for an imaginary bounded system, and it is formulated in matrix form so that calculations for inhomogeneous materials can be performed systematically. It is shown that the theoretical calculations are in good agreement with the experimental results for aluminum thin films and ion-implanted silicon wafers, and that the theoretical model is experimentally verified. This method is useful for characterizing materials' properties, including structural analysis and subsurface defect detection of a sample.
Structural Analysis of the Interaction between Shiga Toxin B Subunits and Linear Polymers Bearing Clustered Globotriose Residues (2006)

We previously developed linear polymers bearing clustered trisaccharides of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) as orally applicable Shiga toxin (Stx) neutralizers. Here, using a Gb3 polymer with a short spacer tethering the trisaccharide to the core, we found that shortening the spacer length markedly reduced the binding affinity for Stx2 but not Stx1. Moreover, mutational analysis revealed that the essential binding sites of the terminal trisaccharides were completely different between Stx1 and Stx2. These results provide the molecular basis for the interaction between Stx B subunits and Gb3 polymers.

CdS/TiO2 photoanodes via solution ion transfer method for highly efficient solar hydrogen generation (2018)

Cadmium sulfide (CdS)is a unique semiconducting material for solar hydrogen generation&#13;\napplications with a tunable, narrow bandgap that straddles water redox potentials. However, its&#13;\npotential towards efficient solar hydrogen generation has not yet been realized due to low photon-tocurrent&#13;\nconversions, high charge carrier recombination and the lack of controlled preparation&#13;\nmethods. In this work, we demonstrate a highly efficient CdS/TiO2 heterostructured photoelectrode&#13;\nusing atomic layer deposition and solution ion transfer reactions. Enabled by the well-controlled&#13;\ndeposition of CdS nanocrystals on TiO2 inverse opal(TiIO) nanostructures using the proposed&#13;\nmethod, a saturation photocurrent density of 9.1 mA cm−2 is realized which is the highest ever&#13;\nreported for CdS-based photoelectrodes. We further demonstrate that the passivation of a CdS surface&#13;\nwith an ultrathin amorphous layer(∼1.5 nm) of TiO2 improves the charge collection efficiency at low&#13;\napplied potentials paving the way for unassisted solar hydrogen generation.
Renal and haemodynamic responses to a novel kappa opioid receptor agonist, niravoline (RU 51,599), in rats with cirrhosis (1996)

Because renal water retention is a complication of cirrhosis, niravoline (RU 51,599), a novel kappa (kappa) opioid receptor agonist which is known to cause a water diuresis under normal conditions, may be useful in the therapy of chronic liver diseases. Thus, the present study examined the effects of niravoline on renal function in rats with cirrhosis. Urine was collected during the 2 h period following the administration of vehicle (saline) in one groups of animals or niravoline (3 mg/kg, i.v.) in another group. Urinary and plasma osmolality were measured prior to and 2 h after niravoline in a third group of animals. Urine flow and natraemia were significantly higher after niravoline (147 +/- 12 microL/min and 153 +/- 2 mmol/L, respectively) than after vehicle (27 +/- 7 microL/min and 146 +/- 1 mmol/L, respectively). Niravoline significantly decreased urinary osmolality and significantly increased plasma osmolality and free water clearance. This substance did not significantly change urinary sodium excretion. In conclusion, this study shows that niravoline, a kappa opioid receptor agonist, induced a water diuresis in rats with cirrhosis.
