Genome-Wide Transcriptional Profiling and Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Maternal Immune Activation Model of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (2016)

Prenatal exposure to maternal infection increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia and autism. The molecular processes underlying this pathological association, however, are only partially understood. Here, we combined unbiased genome-wide transcriptional profiling with follow-up epigenetic analyses and structural magnetic resonance imaging to explore convergent molecular and neuromorphological alterations in corticostriatal areas of adult offspring exposed to prenatal immune activation. Genome-wide transcriptional profiling revealed that prenatal immune activation caused a differential expression of 116 and 251 genes in the medial prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, respectively. A large part of genes that were commonly affected in both brain areas were related to myelin functionality and stability. Subsequent epigenetic analyses indicated that altered DNA methylation of promoter regions might contribute to the differential expression of myelin-related genes. Quantitative relaxometry comparing T1, T2, and myelin water fraction revealed sparse increases in T1 relaxation times and consistent reductions in T2 relaxation times. Together, our multi-system approach demonstrates that prenatal viral-like immune activation causes myelin-related transcriptional and epigenetic changes in corticostriatal areas. Even though these abnormalities do not seem to be associated with overt white matter reduction, they may provide a molecular mechanism whereby prenatal infection can impair myelin functionality and stability.
Soft-Decision Low-Complexity Chase Decoders for the RS(255,239) Code (2018)

In this work, we present a new architecture for soft-decision Reed–Solomon (RS) Low-Complexity Chase (LCC) decoding. The proposed architecture is scalable and can be used for a high number of test vectors. We propose a novel Multiplicity Assignment stage that sorts and stores only the location of the errors inside the symbols and the powers of α that identify the positions of the symbols in the frame. Novel schematics for the Syndrome Update and Symbol Modification blocks that are adapted to the proposed sorting stage are also presented. We also propose novel solutions for the problems that arise when a high number of test vectors is processed. We implemented three decoders: a η = 4 LCC decoder and two decoders that only decode 31 and 60 test vectors of true η = 5 and η = 6 LCC decoders, respectively. For example, our η = 4 decoder requires 29% less look-up tables in Virtex-V Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices than the best soft-decision RS decoder published to date, while has a 0.07 dB coding gain over that decoder.

Genetic Dissection of Bloom Time in Low Chilling Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.) Using a Multi-Family QTL Approach (2020)

Bloom time in sweet cherry (<i>Prunus avium</i> L.) is a highly heritable trait that varies between genotypes and depends on the environmental conditions. Bud-break occurs after chill and heat requirements of each genotype are fulfilled, and dormancy is released. Bloom time is a critical trait for fruit production as matching cultivar adaptation to the growing area is essential for adequate fruit set. Additionally, low chilling cultivars are of interest to extend sweet cherry production to warmer regions, and for the crop adaptation to increasing winter and spring temperatures. The aim of this work is to investigate the genetic control of this trait by analyzing multiple families derived from the low chilling and extra-early flowering local Spanish cultivar 'Cristobalina' and other cultivars with higher chilling requirements and medium to late bloom times. Bloom time evaluation in six related sweet cherry populations confirmed a high heritability of this trait, and skewed distribution toward late flowering, revealing possible dominance of the late bloom alleles. SNP genotyping of the six populations (n = 406) resulted in a consensus map of 1269 SNPs. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis using the Bayesian approach implemented by FlexQTL™ software revealed two major QTLs on linkage groups 1 and 2 (qP-BT1.1m and qP-BT2.1m) that explained 47.6% of the phenotypic variation. The QTL on linkage group 1 was mapped to a 0.26 Mbp region that overlaps with the <i>DORMANCY ASSOCIATED MADS-BOX (DAM)</i> genes. This finding is consistent with peach results that indicate that these genes are major determinants of chilling requirement in <i>Prunus</i>. Haplotype analysis of the linkage group 1 and 2 QTL regions showed that 'Cristobalina' was the only cultivar tested that contributed early bloom time alleles for these two QTLs. This work contributes to knowledge of the genetic control of chilling requirement and bloom date and will enable marker-assisted selection for low chilling in sweet cherry breeding programs.
Treatment of active lupus nephritis with the novel immunosuppressant 15-deoxyspergualin: an open-label dose escalation study (2011)

As the immunosuppressive potency of 15-deoxyspergualin (DSG) has been shown in the therapy of renal transplant rejection and Wegener's granulomatosis, the intention of this study was to evaluate the safety of DSG in the therapy of lupus nephritis (LN). Patients with histologically proven active LN after prior treatment with at least one immunosuppressant were treated with 0.5 mg/kg normal body weight/day DSG, injected subcutaneously for 14 days, followed by a break of one week. These cycles were repeated to a maximum of nine times. Doses of oral corticosteroids were gradually reduced to 7.5 mg/day or lower by cycle 4. Response was measured according to a predefined decision pattern. The dose of DSG was adjusted depending on the efficacy and side effects. A total of 21 patients were included in this phase-I/II study. After the first DSG injection, one patient was excluded from the study due to renal failure. Five patients dropped out due to adverse events or serious adverse events including fever, leukopenia, oral candidiasis, herpes zoster or pneumonia. Eleven out of 20 patients achieved partial (4) or complete responses (7), 8 were judged as treatment failures and 1 patient was not assessable. Twelve patients completed all nine cycles; in those patients, proteinuria decreased from 5.88 g/day to 3.37 g/day (P = 0.028), Selena-SLEDAI (Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus - National Assessment - systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index) decreased from 17.6 to 11.7. In 13 out of 20 patients, proteinuria decreased by at least 50%; in 7 patients to less than 1 g/day. Although the number of patients was small, we could demonstrate that DSG provides a tolerably safe treatment for LN. The improvement in proteinuria encourages larger controlled trials.

Adiposity influences airway wall thickness and the asthma phenotype of HIV-associated obstructive lung disease: a cross-sectional study (2016)

Adiposity and adipose-related inflammation are associated with an asthma phenotype, but not a COPD phenotype, of obstructive lung disease in HIV-infected persons. Airway wall thickness is associated with adiposity and inflammation. Adipose-related inflammation may play a role in HIV-associated asthma.
Suppression of optical harmonics in wavelength conversion using optical single-sideband modulator (2003)

For wavelength conversion using an optical SSB modulator, we proposed a novel technique for suppression of undesired harmonics, which gives the conventional theoretical limit of SNR, by feeding the fundamental and 3rd order harmonic rf-signals.
A review and comparison of strategies for multi-step ahead time series forecasting based on the NN5 forecasting competition (2011)

Multi-step ahead forecasting is still an open challenge in time series forecasting. Several approaches that deal with this complex problem have been proposed in the literature but an extensive comparison on a large number of tasks is still missing. This paper aims to fill this gap by reviewing existing strategies for multi-step ahead forecasting and comparing them in theoretical and practical terms. To attain such an objective, we performed a large scale comparison of these different strategies using a large experimental benchmark (namely the 111 series from the NN5 forecasting competition). In addition, we considered the effects of deseasonalization, input variable selection, and forecast combination on these strategies and on multi-step ahead forecasting at large. The following three findings appear to be consistently supported by the experimental results: Multiple-Output strategies are the best performing approaches, deseasonalization leads to uniformly improved forecast accuracy, and input selection is more effective when performed in conjunction with deseasonalization.
Repopulation of Denuded Tracheas by Clara Cells Isolated from the Lungs of Rabbits (1987)

An experimental approach was examined to study the growth and differentiation potential of different epithelial cell types isolated from the airways of adult rabbits. Clara cells isolated from the lungs of rabbits and a mixed cell population obtained from rabbit tracheas were injected (separately) into denuded rat tracheas which were then grafted into nude mice. Epithelial cells were obtained from rabbit tracheas by digestion of tracheal epithelium with proteases. The resulting cell suspension contained mucous cells, Claralike cells, ciliated cells, basal cells and a small number of inflammatory and unidentified cells. This mixed cell suspension was inoculated into rat tracheas denuded of their own epithelium which were then grafted subcutaneously onto the backs of nude mice. The tracheas were recovered two weeks later and were prepared for light and electron microscopy. These grafts were found to be lined by a tall columnar pseudostratified mucociliary epithelium, indicating that the rat tracheal grafts transplanted into nude mice supported the growth and differentiation of tracheal epithelial cells. Similarly Clara cells, isolated and purified to 85.9 +/- 2.8% (n = 9) purity from rabbit lungs by a combination of centrifugation and elutriation procedures, were inoculated into rat tracheas which were transplanted into nude mice. Two weeks later the grafts were recovered and prepared for histological and ultrastructural examination. These tracheas were lined with a low cuboidal epithelium reminiscent of bronchiolar epithelium. The epithelium was composed of ciliated cells and Claralike cells rich in smooth endoplasmic reticulum but containing only a few secretory granules. These results indicate that the tracheal graft model is suited to examine the differentiative potential of specific cell types isolated from the airways. Furthermore, they show that Clara cell isolates are able to establish an epithelium resembling bronchiolar epithelium in denuded tracheas while tracheal cells containing at least four different epithelial cell types are able to establish a mucociliary epithelium resembling the pseudostratified tracheal lining.

Zuckerli: A New Compressed Representation for Graphs (2020)

Zuckerli is a scalable compression system meant for large real-world graphs. Graphs are notoriously challenging structures to store efficiently due to their linked nature, which makes it hard to separate them into smaller, compact components. Therefore, effective compression is crucial when dealing with large graphs, which can have billions of nodes and edges. Furthermore, a good compression system should give the user fast and reasonably flexible access to parts of the compressed data without requiring full decompression, which may be unfeasible on their system. Compared to WebGraph, the de-facto standard in compressing real-world graphs, Zuckerli improves multiple aspects by using advanced compression techniques and novel heuristic graph algorithms. Zuckerli can produce both a compressed representation for storage and one which allows fast direct access to the adjacency lists of the compressed graph without decompressing the entire graph. We validate its effectiveness on real-world graphs with up to a billion nodes and 90 billion edges, conducting an extensive experimental evaluation of both compression density and decompression performance. We show that Zuckerli-compressed graphs are 10% to 29% smaller, and more than 20% in most cases, with a resource usage for decompression comparable to that of WebGraph.
Differential serotonin transport is linked to the rh5-HTTLPR in peripheral blood cells (2012)

The human serotonin transporter (SERT) gene possesses a 43-base pair (bp) insertion-deletion promoter polymorphism, the h5-HTTLPR. Genotype at this locus correlates with variation in anxiety-related personality traits and risk for major depressive disorder in many studies. Yet, the complex effects of the h5-HTTLPR, in combination with closely associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), continue to be debated. Moreover, although SERT is of high clinical significance, transporter function in vivo remains difficult to assess. Rhesus express a promoter polymorphism related to the h5-HTTLPR. The rh5-HTTLPR has been linked to differences in stress-related behavior and cognitive flexibility, although allelic variations in serotonin uptake have not been investigated. We studied the serotonin system as it relates to the 5-HTTLPR in rhesus peripheral blood cells. Sequencing of the rh5-HTTLPR revealed a 23-bp insertion, which is somewhat longer than originally reported. Consistent with previous reports, no SNPs in the rh5-HTTLPR and surrounding genomic regions were detected in the individuals studied. Reductions in serotonin uptake rates, cell surface SERT binding, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid/serotonin ratios, but not SERT mRNA levels, were associated with the rh5-HTTLPR short allele. Thus, serotonin uptake rates are differentiable with respect to the 5-HTTLPR in an easily accessible native peripheral tissue. In light of these findings, we foresee that primary blood cells, in combination with high sensitivity functional measurements enabled by chronoamperometry, will be important for investigating alterations in serotonin uptake associated with genetic variability and antidepressant responsiveness in humans.

Comparative experiments of robust and adaptive control with new robust adaptive controllers for robot manipulators (2002)

Several conceptually different robust adaptive schemes, namely, a smooth robust adaptive sliding mode controller with guaranteed transient performance, a robust desired compensation adaptive controller with guaranteed transient performance, a simple robust performance based adaptive control scheme which has a nonlinear PID feedback structure with adaptation gains, and a robust desired compensation adaptive controller which is synthesized by combining the design techniques of performance based adaptive control and model based adaptive control and is easy to tune, are proposed for trajectory tracking control of robot manipulators. The schemes as well as other established adaptive schemes are implemented and compared on the UCB/NSK SCARA direct drive robot. Experimental results are obtained to show the advantages and the drawbacks of each method.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Factoid Question Answering over Unstructured and Structured Web Content. (2005)

We describe our experience with two new, builtfrom -scratch, web-based question answering systems applied to the TREC 2005 Main Question Answering task, which use complementary models of answering questions over both structured and unstructured content on the Web. Our approaches depart from previous question answering (QA) work in several ways. For unstructured content, we used a web-based system with novel features such as web snippet pattern matching and generic answer type matching using web counts. We also experimented with a new, complementary question answering approach that uses information from the millions of tables and lists that abound on the web.
<title>Large-Angle Optically Induced Light Deflection</title> (1983)

Large-angle light deflection is accomplished by diffraction from an optically induced index modulation created by the interference of two controlling light beams. The control beam wavelength is used to change the frequency of the transient grating and hence the resulting deflection angle. The Bragg condition is maintained over a wide range of deflection angles by the use of a novel optical system containing diffractive elements operating in real-time to tilt the diffracting structure. The results of a computer simulation and optimization program are presented together with experimental verification demonstrating 11.8° deflection from a 0.027 &mu;m wavelength change.

Mitogenic Signaling by Ret/ptc2 Requires Association with Enigma via a LIM Domain (1996)

The ret/ptc2 papillary thyroid cancer oncogene, an oncogenic form of the c-Ret receptor tyrosine kinase, is the product of a somatic crossover event fusing the dimerization domain of the type Ialpha regulatory subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (RI) with the tyrosine kinase domain of c-Ret. Mitogenic activity of Ret/ptc2 required dimerization via the N terminus of RI and a tyrosine residue located C-terminal to the kinase core of Ret, Tyr-586 (Durick, K., Yao, V. J., Borrello, M. G., Bongarzone, I., Pierotti, M. A. and Taylor, S. S. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 24642-24645). Using the yeast two-hybrid system, Ret/ptc2 binding proteins were identified, and the sites of interaction with Ret/ptc2 were mapped. The SH2 domains of phospholipase Cgamma and Grb10 were both identified, and binding depended on phosphorylation of Tyr-539 and Tyr-429, respectively. These interactions, however, were not required for mitogenic signaling. The second of the three LIM domains in Enigma (Wu, R. Y., and Gill, G. N. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 25085-25090) was also identified as a Ret/ptc2 binding domain. Enigma, a 455-residue protein, was discovered based on its interaction with the insulin receptor through the C-terminal LIM domain. Although the association with Enigma required Tyr-586 of Ret/ptc2, the interaction was phosphorylation-independent. In contrast to the SH2 interactions, disruption of the interaction with Enigma abolished Ret/ptc2 mitogenic signaling, suggesting that LIM domain recognition of an unphosphorylated tyrosine-based motif is required for Ret signal transduction.
