Energy harvesting multiple access channel with peak temperature constraints (2018)

We consider a two-user energy harvesting multiple access channel where the temperatures of the nodes are affected by the electromagnetic waves caused by the data transmission. To protect the nodes from excess heat, power allocation policies should take into consideration the temperature of all the nodes. In this paper, we study the optimal power allocations when the temperatures of the nodes are subject to peak temperature constraints. We first study the general case where each node has a different peak temperature requirement and the nodes have different temperature parameters. For this case, we show that the capacity region of the single energy arrival case is a single pentagon. We also show that the optimal policy for the multiple energy arrivals can be obtained by using generalized water-filling. We then study the temperature limited case where the transmitters have abundant energy and the only binding constraints are the temperature constraints. We study the optimal power allocation in this case and we derive sufficient conditions under which the rate region collapses to a single pentagon.
Transparent, Anisotropic Biofilm with Aligned Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibers (2018)

Abstract Cellulose nanofibrils are attractive as building blocks for advanced photonic, optoelectronic, microfluidic, and bio‐based devices ranging from transistors and solar cells to fluidic and biocompatible injectable devices. For the first time, an ultrastrong and ultratough cellulose film, which is composed of densely packed bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibrils with hierarchical fibril alignments, is successfully demonstrated. The molecular level alignment stems from the intrinsic parallel orientation of crystalline cellulose molecules produced by Acetobacter xylinum. These aligned long‐chain cellulose molecules form subfibrils with a diameter of 2–4 nm, which are further aligned to form nanofibril bundles. The BC film yields a record‐high tensile strength (≈1.0 GPa) and toughness (≈25 MJ m −3 ). Being ultrastrong and ultratough, yet the BC film is also highly flexible and can be folded into desirable shapes. The BC film exhibits a controllable manner of alignment and is highly transparent with modulated optical properties, paving the way to enabling new functionalities in mechanical, electrical, fluidic, photonics, and biocompatible applications.
Risk factors for the initiation and aggravation of lymphoedema after axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer. (2009)

1. The Chinese version of the 27-item MacNew health-related quality of life (HRQL) questionnaire is a valid, reliable and responsive core coronary heart disease (CHD)-specific HRQL measure. It can be used to compare the health outcomes, burdens of illness, and treatment effectiveness in pure or mixed populations of patients with myocardial infarction, angina, or heart failure in clinical trials and in routine clinical practice. 2. The Chinese version of the 35-item Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale (MIDAS) did not perform as well. Although four of the seven subscales, which cover the physical and psychosocial aspects of HRQL, are psychometrically sound when used to evaluate HRQL among CHD patients with different cardiac diagnostic categories, the remaining three subscales covering treatment-related aspects are not. The latter had only weak validity and responsiveness, which may be due to cultural differences. 3. To improve the overall performance of the Chinese version of the MIDAS, further effort is required to clarify the treatment-related impact of CHD on well-being from the patient's perspective.

Patterned distribution of immunoreactive astroglial processes in the striate (V1) cortex of new world monkeys (1999)

The possibility of a modular organization of non-neuronal elements was analyzed in the opercular region of the striate neocortex in adult New World monkeys. For this purpose, and in order to follow possible correlations in the general organization of neuronal and astroglial elements, immunocytochemical procedures for Glial Fibrillary Acid Protein (GFAP) and Microtubule Associated Protein 2 (MAP-2), in addition to cytochrome oxidase (COX) histochemistry, were applied to tangential and coronal sections and analyzed by using computer-assisted procedures. Astroglial interlaminar processes stemming from superficial laminae did not traverse lamina IVA, and thus did not appear in deeper layers. Clearly definable interlaminar processes were predominantly concentrated in laminae II-III. A honeycomb- like lattice was observed in tangential sections, with a "cell" size distribution similar to the MAP-2-IR lattice, suggesting an intimate association with the pyramidal columns. Additionally, analysis of similar sections disclosed the periodic appearance of large patches with high density of interlaminar processes, indicating a nonhomogeneous distribution of GFAP-IR processes in the striate cortex. COX "blobs" appeared frequently to coincide with areas expressing high density of GFAP-IR elements. These findings add a new perspective to current concepts of astroglial organization in the striate cortex of primates and reveal the existence of a non-neuronal modular organization in the primate striate cerebral cortex, and suggest that possible correlations between relative distributions of neuronal and astroglial elements should be further analyzed in cortical areas with a clear modular organization such as the striate cortex.

Topical Review: The Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinoses (1995)

The neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses, a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases in children and in adults, have now been recognized for some 90 years, and the childhood forms represent one of the largest groups of progressive neurodegenerative diseases in children. Apart from a core group of major clinical forms-the infantile, the late-infantile, the juvenile, and the adult forms--numerous atypical patients afflicted with neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis have now been identified, constituting 10% to 20% of all patients with neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis. These "atypical" patients have, over the past 10 years, prompted the suggestion of 15 atypical variants or minor syndromes, many of them displaying the lipopigments of classic curvilinear and fingerprint ultrastructure, but others displaying granular osmiophilic deposits. The former lipopigments contain the subunit C of the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate synthase, but lipopigments of the granular osmiophilic deposits including the classic infantile type Santavuori-Haltia, apparently do not, the latter type exhibiting sphingolipid activator proteins. The nosologic significance of both the subunit C of the adenosine triphosphate synthase and the sphingolipid activator proteins, although they make up a considerable amount of the crude auto-fluorescent lipopigments in neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, is still unclear. In spite of numerous pathogenetic principles invoked, such as a defect in lipid peroxidation, abnormalities of dolichols and dolichol phosphates, and defects in protease inhibitors, precise pathogenesis and etiology of the neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses remain elusive. Recent promising molecular genetic studies have, however, revealed the gene for infantile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, CLN1, on chromosome 1p32; the gene for juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, CLN3, on chromosome 16p12.1-11.2; and the gene for a Finnish variant of late-infantile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, CLN5, on chromosome 13q31-32. The genes for classic late-infantile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, CLN2, and for adult neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, CLN4, have not been located, the former having been excluded from chromosomes 1 and 16. However, the gene products of the normal allelic forms have not yet been identified. A considerable number of sporadic animal models is now available, largely equivalent to the juvenile and infantile forms of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis, with those of the English setter and the South Hampshire sheep evaluated best. Recently, several mouse models have been added to this list of autosomal-recessive models, again the one most thoroughly studied being the motor-neuron disease mouse. Progress has also been made in the prenatal diagnosis of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis: now the infantile, late-infantile, and juvenile forms can be recognized prenatally by a combined genetic and electron microscopic approach.

Development of a Plastic Embedding Method for Large-Volume and Fluorescent-Protein-Expressing Tissues (2013)

Fluorescent proteins serve as important biomarkers for visualizing both subcellular organelles in living cells and structural and functional details in large-volume tissues or organs. However, current techniques for plastic embedding are limited in their ability to preserve fluorescence while remaining suitable for micro-optical sectioning tomography of large-volume samples. In this study, we quantitatively evaluated the fluorescence preservation and penetration time of several commonly used resins in a Thy1-eYFP-H transgenic whole mouse brain, including glycol methacrylate (GMA), LR White, hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and Unicryl. We found that HMPA embedding doubled the eYFP fluorescence intensity but required long durations of incubation for whole brain penetration. GMA, Unicryl and LR White each penetrated the brain rapidly but also led to variable quenching of eYFP fluorescence. Among the fast-penetrating resins, GMA preserved fluorescence better than LR White and Unicryl. We found that we could optimize the GMA formulation by reducing the polymerization temperature, removing 4-methoxyphenol and adjusting the pH of the resin solution to be alkaline. By optimizing the GMA formulation, we increased percentage of eYFP fluorescence preservation in GMA-embedded brains nearly two-fold. These results suggest that modified GMA is suitable for embedding large-volume tissues such as whole mouse brain and provide a novel approach for visualizing brain-wide networks.

Power Pattern to Planar Dipole Array Synthesis Using a Text-to-Image Transformer Based Model (2022)

Based on a neural network architecture for text-to-image synthesis, we develop a neural network algorithm for far-field (FF) power pattern to planar dipole array synthesis. To this end, the desired FF power pattern (two perpendicular cuts) is compressed into the so-called FF tokens. The FF tokens are then translated to array tokens. Once the array tokens are obtained, they are decompressed to yield the planar dipole array design.
Fixed Implant‐Supported Prostheses in Elderly Patients: A 5‐Year Retrospective Study of 133 Edentulous Patients Older than 79 Years (2004)

Implant treatment in the elderly patients showed treatment results comparable to those observed in younger age groups. However, indications of more problems with adaptation could be observed and were reflected in more postinsertion problems. Cleaning problems and associated soft tissue inflammation (mucositis) as well as tongue, lip, and cheek biting were significantly more often observed among the elderly patients (p < .05).

Mechanism of olefin synthesis from methanol and dimethyl ether over zeolite catalysts: A review (2014)

This review presents various first C-C bond and lower olefins formation mechanisms during the conversion of methanol or dimethyl ether (DME) over zeolite catalysts. The reaction is commonly described using both consecutive and parallel mechanisms. In terms of the first one concept, the oxonium ylide, carbene, carbocationic, methane-formaldehyde, and free radical mechanisms are analyzed. The parallel formation of the C-C bond is represented as the “hydrocarbon pool” mechanism which assumes the reaction occurs through alkene and arene cycles. It is shown that in the case of the arene cycle, olefins can be formed owing to the side chain growth of polymethylbenzenes (the so-called side-chain mechanism) or owing to the number of carbon atoms decrease in the aromatic ring (paring mechanism). Along with the isomerization and synchronous mechanisms wich assume that the route of the process substantially determined by the temperature range and the catalysts properties are discussed.

[Specific expression of the foreign gene regulated by the rice rbcS promoter in transgenic rice]. (2005)

To use different types of promoters in transgenic rice research, the 5'-upstream regulation region of rice Rubisco small subunit gene (rbcS) was cloned from a Chinese cultivar Wuyunjing 8, and its sequences were confirmed by comparison with the known genome sequences of both japonica and indica rice. The cloned rbcS promoter was fused to the 5'-upstream of GUS (beta-glucuronidase) coding region in a binary vector, and introduced into rice by Agrogacterium-mediated transformation. The integration of the rbcS-GUS fusion gene in transgenic rice was confirmed by PCR analysis. The results of both histochemical staining and quantitative analysis of GUS activity showed that the expression level of GUS fusion gene was significantly stronger in leaf blade and sheath than in other organs of transgenic rice plants, and the GUS activity was restricted to the mesophyll cells of leaf tissue, which showed that the rice rbcS promoter could control not only the tissue- but also the cell-specific expression of foreign genes in transgenic rice. The present results also demonstrated that light induction had a significant effect on the enhancement of transgene's expression when regulated by the rice rbcS promoter in transgenic rice. Our results showed that the rice rbcS promoter might be very useful for the expression of target genes in transgenic rice, with particularly high efficiency in leaf tissues.
Applications of dewetting in micro and nanotechnology (2012)

Dewetting is a spontaneous phenomenon where a thin film on a surface ruptures into an ensemble of separated objects, like droplets, stripes, and pillars. Spatial correlations with characteristic distance and object size emerge spontaneously across the whole dewetted area, leading to regular motifs with long-range order. Characteristic length scales depend on film thickness, which is a convenient and robust technological parameter. Dewetting is therefore an attractive paradigm for organizing a material into structures of well-defined micro- or nanometre-size, precisely positioned on a surface, thus avoiding lithographical processes. This tutorial review introduces the reader to the physical-chemical basis of dewetting, shows how the dewetting process can be applied to different functional materials with relevance in technological applications, and highlights the possible strategies to control the length scales of the dewetting process.
The MOPEAD project: Advancing patient engagement for the detection of “hidden” undiagnosed cases of Alzheimer's disease in the community (2019)

In most, if not all health systems, dementia is underdiagnosed, and when diagnosis occurs, it is typically at a relatively late stage in the disease process despite mounting evidence showing that a timely diagnosis would result in numerous benefits for patients, families, and society. Moving toward earlier diagnoses in Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires a conscientious and collective effort to implement a global strategy addressing the multiple causes hindering patient engagement at different levels of society. This article describes the design of the Models of Patient Engagement for Alzheimer's Disease project, an ongoing EU-funded public-private multinational initiative that will compare four innovative patient engagement strategies across five European countries regarding their ability to identify individuals with prodromal AD and mild AD dementia, which are "hidden" in their communities and traditionally not found in the typical memory clinic setting. The strategies include an online AD citizen science platform, an open house initiative at the memory clinics, and patient engagement at primary care and diabetologist clinics.
Effects of Grafting with Acrylic Acid on Removal of Oily Soil from Polyester Fabric (1992)

In a series of studies on the effects of modifying textiles for soil release properties, polyester fabrics were grafted with acrylic acid to vary their surface energies while changing their bulk properties as little as possible. The surface free energies of grafted polyester fabrics were estimated using the relationship between the polar component of surface energies γ s p and the peak area ratios of COONa (1580 cm -1 ) to COOR (1250 cm -1 ) by FT-IR measurements. The effects of grafting on soil release were also investigated with washing experiments using squalane, triolein, and oleic acid as oily soils. The effects of grafting on oily soil removal varied depending on the polarity of soil. Results are discussed in terms of the work of adhesion between oil and polyester fabric.
NXY‐059 Does Not Affect Bleeding Time in Healthy Volunteers: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, 3‐Period Crossover Phase I Study (2007)

NXY-059 is a novel free radical-trapping neuroprotectant that reduces infarct size and preserves brain function in animal models of acute ischemic stroke. It is the first neuroprotectant to demonstrate a reduction in global disability in a phase III clinical trial, as measured by the modified Rankin Scale. Any effect of NXY-059 on hemostasis may be important when treating stroke patients. This phase I randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-period crossover study compared the effect of NXY-059, desmopressin, and placebo on bleeding time, platelet aggregation, and adhesion in 30 healthy volunteers. NXY-059 did not prolong bleeding time compared with placebo: mean (SD) time for NXY-059, 369.5 seconds (125.0 seconds) versus placebo, 369.1 seconds (136.0 seconds). There were no significant effects on platelet aggregation or adhesion. At a mean unbound plasma concentration (Cu(ss)) of 335 micromol/L, NXY-059 was well tolerated, with no major safety concerns identified. In conclusion, NXY-059 does not appear to affect primary hemostasis.
Observation of Flame Propagation in a Premixed-Spray Stagnation Flow (2000)

Simultaneous application of Laser tomography and local chemiluminescence measurement to a premixed-spray flame stabilized in a stagnation flow have been made in order to investigate interrelation between spray characteristics and flame propagation behaviour, especially, influences of spatial and temporal nonuniformity of spray characteristics on flame propagation. Droplets and flame-front movements in a small area were monitored simultaneously. Time-series planar images of fuel droplets were processed and relative diameter of droplets were calculated based on Miescattering theory, and then the result was compared with PDA data to obtain 2-D spray characteristics. As a result, it was observed that dense spray region prevented flame from propagating, which changed the shape and location of vaporization zone. The speed and direction of flame propagation was affected by the spray characteristics, such as droplet diameter, number density and so on.
