An in vitro pilot study of apheresis platelets collected on Trima Accel system and stored in T‐PAS+ solution at refrigeration temperature (1‐6°C) (2019)

Refrigerated PLTs stored in T-PAS+ for 18 days met FDA pH standards. Functional metrics suggest activity of T-PAS+-stored PLTs and the potential to contribute to hemostasis throughout 18 days of storage. Extending the shelf life of PLTs would increase access to hemostatic resuscitation for bleeding patients in military and civilian settings.

Electronic and optical properties ofHgI2 (1992)

Empirical nonlocal pseudopotential calculations of the electronic band structure of undoped mercuric iodide in its red tetragonal form are presented. Values for the electron and hole effective masses, optical matrix elements for interband transitions, and complex dielectric function are reported. Excitonic effects on the absorption coefficient near the fundamental band gap are included within the effective-mass approximation. The resulting absorption spectra and the polarization dependence are in good agreement with experiment. The dielectric-function spectra for photon energies between 2 and 10 eV are also calculated and they are in fair agreement with available data.
Heterozygosity of mannose-binding lectin (MBL2) genotypes predicts advantage (heterosis) in relation to fatal outcome in intensive care patients (2007)

Polymorphisms in the MBL2 gene, which affect the structure and influence on the serum concentration of mannose-binding lectin (MBL), are associated with inflammatory and infectious conditions. The importance of MBL2 polymorphisms on outcome in critical ill patients is unclear. Five hundred and thirty-two consecutive critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) were included over a period of 18 months. Five hundred and thirty-three individuals served as controls. Vital status was obtained 15.5 months after the last patient was included. MBL2 polymorphisms were determined by a PCR-based assay. Homozygosity for MBL2 variant alleles (O/O) causing MBL structural defects was associated with the highest adjusted mortality rate followed by homozygosity for the normal MBL2 allele (A/A) encoding high MBL levels, whereas heterozygous A/O patients had the most favourable outcome (P = 0.015). MBL2 alleles were not associated with death in ICU (n = 166, P = 0.7), but the association appeared soon after discharge from ICU (n = 366): hazard ratio (HR) for O/O using A/A as reference was 1.33 (95% CI: 0.8-2.2) and for A/O it was 0.62 (95% CI: 0.4-0.8) respectively (P = 0.0045) at completion. No difference in MBL2 frequency was observed between patients and controls at baseline, and between patients classified as having sepsis or not. However, patients with the MBL2 O/O genotype had an increased frequency of Gram-positive bacterial infection (P = 0.01). Heterozygosity for MBL2 alleles confers a protective effect whereas homozygosity is associated with the worst outcome soon after discharge from ICU. This may be an example of heterosis.
Warehousing and mining Web logs (1999)

Analyzing Web Logs for usage and access trends can not only provide important information to web site developers and administrators, but also help in creating adaptive web sites. While there are many existing tools that generate fixed reports from web logs, they typically do not allow ad-hoc analysis queries. Moreover, such tools cannot discover hidden patterns of access embedded in the access logs. We describe a relational OLAP (ROLAP) approach for creating a web-log warehouse. This is populated both from web logs, as well as the results of mining web logs. We also present a web based ad-hoc tool for analytic queries on the warehouse. We discuss the design criteria that influenced our choice of dimensions, facts and data granularity, and present the results from analyzing and mining the logs.
Effects of High CaO Fly Ash and Sulfate Activator as a Finer Binder for Cementless Grouting Material (2019)

The effects or high CaO fly ash and sulfate activator on cementless grouting material were investigated through Labiles Waterglass (LW) grouting applied at an actual construction field. Circulating fluidized bed combustion ash was used as CaO fly ash, and petro cokes desulfurization gypsum was used as sulfate activator. Cementless grouting material (CGM) could decrease the gel time by about 16.7% compared with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This characteristic improved the average daily workload and construction period per meter by about 13.5% with CGM. Furthermore, when constructing 1000 holes of LW grouting, the construction time could be reduced by 19 days (20% of the total construction period of LW grouting). Meanwhile, CGM could increase the homogel strength by about 48.4% after 28 days compared with OPC. After X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscope analysis, CGM was found to produce cement hydrate by chemical reaction mechanism of high CaO fly ash and sulfate activator, even though cement was not used. The matrix structure properties of CGM and OPC specimens were similar, but CGM, with 134.3% fineness, exhibited higher compressive strength and lower air permeability than OPC. As a result, CGM could reduce the leakage length per square meter by 74.4% compared with OPC. Using CGM as a substitute for OPC in LW grouting in actual sites could be beneficial in terms of securing construction speed and durability, as well as reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions due to reduction of OPC usage.
Course of soft tissue injuries in the transtibial amputation residuum (2009)

A transtibial amputation (ITA) prosthetic user has to deal with daily complications associated with his artificial limb. Though highly progressed, technologically and functionally, the TTA prosthesis is far from ideally replacing an intact limb, mainly due to unique inherent anatomy. After a long and complicated fitting process, the prosthetic limb is often a source of gait abnormalities, limb pain and soft tissue breakdown. While commercial prosthetic accessories and aids are plentiful, tools that analyze the mechanical conditions in the soft tissues of the residual limb during load-bearing are scarce. Therefore, clinicians are not well-equipped with tools that are able to quantify the effectiveness of socket rectification and the use of aids, e.g. liners and thigh corset. In this review we will discuss TTA aetiology and elaborate on the\nprostheses that are most commonly used today. We will also review gait characteristic and its associated complications. Mainly, we will discuss socket limb interaction and methods for quantifying the internal mechanical conditions in the residual limb for the purpose of preventing deep tissue injuries.
A novel and high brightness AlN:Mn2+ red phosphor for field emission displays (2014)

Mn(2+) doped-AlN red phosphors were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDS, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence were utilized to characterize the prepared phosphor. Under UV light or electron beam excitation, the AlN:Mn(2+) phosphors exhibit a strong red emission centered at 600 nm, which is ascribed to the characteristic (4)T1((4)G)-(6)A1((6)S) transition of Mn(2+). Energy level diagrams were constructed to discuss the photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence processes of the AlN:1% Mn(2+) phosphor. The oxygen-related defects in AlN have great influence on the photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties of the AlN:1% Mn(2+) phosphor. The dependence of brightness on accelerating voltage or electric current, the decay behavior of CL intensity under the electron bombardment, and the stability of CIE chromaticity coordinates were investigated in detail. The results indicate that the AlN:Mn(2+) phosphor exhibits a higher brightness, higher color purity, and lower saturation compared to the red Y2O3:Eu(3+) phosphor, which gives the AlN:Mn(2+) phosphor great potential as a red phosphor for full color FEDs.
Tetrapod Nanocrystals as Fluorescent Stress Probes of Electrospun Nanocomposites (2013)

A nanoscale, visible-light, self-sensing stress probe would be highly desirable in a variety of biological, imaging, and materials engineering applications, especially a device that does not alter the mechanical properties of the material it seeks to probe. Here we present the CdSe-CdS tetrapod quantum dot, incorporated into polymer matrices via electrospinning, as an in situ luminescent stress probe for the mechanical properties of polymer fibers. The mechanooptical sensing performance is enhanced with increasing nanocrystal concentration while causing minimal change in the mechanical properties even up to 20 wt % incorporation. The tetrapod nanoprobe is elastic and recoverable and undergoes no permanent change in sensing ability even upon many cycles of loading to failure. Direct comparisons to side-by-side traditional mechanical tests further validate the tetrapod as a luminescent stress probe. The tetrapod fluorescence stress-strain curve shape matches well with uniaxial stress-strain curves measured mechanically at all filler concentrations reported.
Medical Image registration using sparse coding and belief propagation (2012)

Recently, various medical imaging such as CT and MRI imaging has been used more and more widely in clinical and medical research. As a result, there is an increasing interest in accurately relating information in different images for diagnosis, treatment, and the sake of basic science. As images are typically acquired at different times and often by different modalities, registering (or aligning) one image with another is not a simple task in general and it success will affect the effectiveness and accuracy of all subsequent analysis. We propose an efficient medical image registration method based on sparse coding and belief propagation for medical CT imaging. We used 3-D image blocks as features, and then we employed sparse coding to find a set of candidate voxels. To select optimum matches, belief propagation was subsequently applied on these candidate voxels. The outcome of belief propagation was interpreted as probabilistic map between candidate voxels and source voxel. We compared with the state-of-the-art of medical image registration, MIRT and GP-Registration algorithm. Our objective results based on RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) are smaller than those from MIRT and GP-Registration. Our results also proved the effectiveness of our algorithm in registering reference image to source image.
Opposing Effects of Expectancy and Somatic Focus on Pain (2012)

High-pain expectancy increases pain and pain-related brain activity, creating a cycle of psychologically maintained pain. Though these effects are robust, little is known about how expectancy works and what psychological processes either support or mitigate its effects. To address this, we independently manipulated pain expectancy and "top-down" attention to the body, and examined their effects on both a performance-based measure of body-focus and heat-induced pain. Multi-level mediation analyses showed that high-pain expectancy substantially increased pain, replicating previous work. However, attention to the body reduced pain, partially suppressing the effects of expectancy. Furthermore, increased body-focus had larger pain-reducing effects when pain expectancy was high, suggesting that attempts to focus on external distractors are counterproductive in this situation. Overall, the results show that attention to the body cannot explain pain-enhancing expectancy effects, and that focusing on sensory/discriminative aspects of pain might be a useful pain-regulation strategy when severe pain is expected.
Detection of Cell Adhesion Behaviors by Using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance. (1993)

マイクロバランスとして知られている水晶発振子上にファイブロネクチンを固定化し, 周波数の経時変化から牛血管内皮細胞接着挙動を検討した. 細胞を水晶発振子上にのせてから徐々に周波数は低下し, 3～4時間後に周波数は一定となった. 細胞の基板との接着の強さを測る手法として知られているストレスファイバーの観察や, 落射干渉顕微鏡観察を行った結果, 接着の強度は3～4時間後も強くなっていくことがわかり, 周波数変化が細胞の接着強度を反映していることが示唆された. 本方法は細胞の接着の強さを細胞を化学処理する必要がなく簡単に測定でき, また, 血小板のような光学顕微鏡では観察できないような小細胞についても測定できるという特徴がある.
RETRACTED ARTICLE: Neuroprotective effects of Cerebrolysin in triple repeat Tau transgenic model of Pick’s disease and fronto-temporal tauopathies (2015)

Taken together these results support the notion that CBL may be beneficial in other taupathy models by reducing the levels of aberrantly phosphorylated tau.
Cyclin D1 and Molecular Chaperones: Implications for Tumorigenesis (2003)

We recently investigated the mechanisms of cyclin D1 action in human cancer using global analyses of gene expression. With an experimentally-determined expression signature for cyclin D1 overexpression, gene expression data from human tumors, and a novel data-mining method, we were able to reveal a previously unappreciated and apparently predominant functional interdependency between cyclin D1 and C/EBPbeta. Many of the genes we found to be affected by cyclin D1 overexpression are recognized as molecular chaperones or their regulators. Might this provide insights to the role of the cyclin D1-C/EBPbeta axis in carcinogenesis?
IEEE Smart Village Testbed Micro-grids and Sensors (2022)

In this work, the present configuration of the IEEE Smart Village (ISV) Testbed is described. Previous publications have described earlier realizations of the Testbed. The motivation for present modifications to the remote station micro-grids of the Testbed is discussed. A near future ISV project is described in which continuous monitoring of water quality parameters will be necessary. The manner in which modularity of Testbed microgrid hardware can accommodate the number of data streams necessary for water quality monitoring is overviewed. The present data logging structure of the Testbed is reviewed. Examples of the use of the gigabytes of previously collected data files of system operation are given to illustrate the efficacy of the data management approach. Discussion is given to extension of the present data management system to include the collection of the increased quantity of data when sensor collection comes online. In an appendix, the modular micro-grid configuration is detailed sufficiently for system reconstruction.

Design of Doherty Power Amplifiers for Handset Applications (2010)

In this paper, we analyze the power drive of a Doherty power amplifier (PA), and introduce a technique for proper input dividing without a coupler. For the proper Doherty operation, we place a phase compensation circuit at the input of the carrier amplifier. We also propose an output matching of Doherty PA to reduce the number of matching components, and to match the output impedances to enhance efficiency and linearity in consideration of the uneven input drive. The PA circuit is fabricated using a 2-μm InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor process and combined for Doherty operation using merged lumped components. For the IEEE 802.16e m-WiMAX signal, which has a 9.54-dB crest factor and 8.75-MHz bandwidth, the PA has an error vector magnitude of 3% and a power-added efficiency of 40.2% at an output power of 26 dBm.
Image Quality Assessment for DIBR Synthesized Views using Elastic Metric (2017)

Frames of free viewpoint video (FVV) synthesized with depth image-based rendering (DIBR) mainly contains special local artifacts like geometric distortions, in which the shape of objects may be stretched/bent. Human observers tend to perceive such local severe deformations instead of consistent shifting artifacts that penalized by most of the existing metrics. Elastic metric is capable of measuring the difference in stretching or bending between two curves, and thus is suitable for evaluating such geometric distortions. In this paper, an elastic metric based image quality assessment (EM-IQA) scheme is proposed by first selecting local distortion regions and then quantifying the deformations of curves. According to the experimental results on the IRCCyn/IVC DIBR image database, the proposed EM-IQA outperforms the state of the art metrics designed for synthesized images and obtains a gain of 6.97% in pearson correlation compared to the second best performing MP-PSNRreduced.
Variation in the surface layer of a prebaked positive photoresist. (1990)

プレベーク後のポジ型ホトレジストを現像液に浸漬すると, 初期の溶解速度は著しく遅く, 時間の経過とともに速くなる. この現象はインダクション効果と呼ばれているが, プレベークによってレジスト表面層の特性が変化したものである. このインダクション効果を明らかにするために, レジストを現像液に浸漬した時の現像液溶解物を分析した結果, PACに含まれている2, 3, 4-トリヒドロキシベンゾフェノン (TBP) が減少していることが分かった. TBPはアルカリ水溶液への溶解性が著しく良いので, 現像液中でのホトレジスト表面層の低溶解速度はブレベークにおけるレジスト表面層からのTBPの蒸発によると推定した.
Antiserum against Raoultella terrigena ATCC 33257 identifies a large number of Raoultella and Klebsiella clinical isolates as serotype O12 (2010)

Raoultella terrigena ATCC 33257, recently reclassified from the genus Klebsiella, is a drinking water isolate and belongs to a large group of non-typeable Klebsiella and Raoultella strains. Using an O-antiserum against a capsule-deficient mutant of this strain, we could show a high prevalence (10.5%) of the R. terrigena O-serotype among non-typeable, clinical Klebsiella and Raoultella isolates. We observed a strong serological cross-reaction with the K. pneumoniae O12 reference strain, indicating that a large percentage of these non-typeable strains may belong to the O12 serotype, although these are currently not detectable by the K. pneumoniae O12 reference antiserum in use. Therefore, we analyzed the O-polysaccharide (O-PS) structure and genetic organization of the wb gene cluster of R. terrigena ATCC 33257, and both confirmed a close relation of R. terrigena and K. pneumoniae O12. The two strains possess an identical O-PS, lipopolysaccharide core structure, and genetic organization of the wb gene cluster. Heterologous expression of the R. terrigena wb gene cluster in Escherichia coli K-12 resulted in the WecA-dependent synthesis of an O-PS reactive with the K. pneumoniae O12 antiserum. The serological data presented here suggest a higher prevalence of the O12-serotype among Klebsiella and Raoultella isolates than generally assumed.
Dysregulated Tim-3 expression on natural killer cells is associated with increased Galectin-9 levels in HIV-1 infection (2013)

Abstract Background Natural killer (NK) cells constitutively express high levels of Tim-3, an immunoregulatory molecule recently proposed to be a marker for mature and functional NK cells. Whether HIV-1 infection modulates the expression of Tim-3 on NK cells, or the levels of its ligand Galectin-9 (Gal-9), and how signaling through these molecules affects the NK cell response to HIV-1 remains inadequately understood. Results We analyzed Tim-3 and Gal-9 expression in a cohort of 85 individuals with early and chronic HIV-1 infection, and in 13 HIV-1 seronegative control subjects. HIV-1 infection was associated with reduced expression of Tim-3 on NK cells, which was normalized by HAART. Plasma concentrations of Gal-9 were higher in HIV-1-infected individuals than in healthy individuals. Interestingly, Gal-9 expression in immune cells was significantly elevated in early infection, with monocytes and dendritic cells displaying the highest expression levels, which correlated with HIV-1 viral loads. In vitro , Gal-9 triggered Tim-3 downregulation on NK cells as well as NK cell activation. Conclusions Our data suggest that high expression levels of Gal-9 during early HIV-1 infection can lead to enhanced NK cell activity, possibly allowing for improved early control of HIV-1. In contrast, persistent Gal-9 production might impair Tim-3 activity and contribute to NK cell dysfunction in chronic HIV-1 infection.
A Modulation Reference Compensation Method to Realize Fully Decoupled Power Control for Modular Multilevel Converters (2018)

This paper proposes a modulation reference compensation method to completely eliminate the intercoupling between the output active and reactive powers of modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Different from the existing methods, it is realized not based on an accurate control model, but by directly amending the initial arm modulation references of MMCs. Therefore, the proposed method is essentially a compensation algorithm, which is extremely easy to implement in a microcontroller with low calculation burden. In addition, it does not need any additional closed-loop controllers or voltage/current sensors, which is very beneficial to practical projects. The proposed method finally realizes accurate and fully decoupled active and reactive power regulation, avoids overload operation and protection malfunction, and significantly improves the dynamic performance of MMCs. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed analysis and compensation method are carefully verified by both simulation and experimental results.
Design and performance characteristics of a sensitive carbon monoxide optoacoustic detector (1977)

Laser optoacoustic detection of carbon monoxide with a sensitivity of 0.15 parts per million has been achieved.A carbon monoxide laser oscillating on transitions in the fundamental 1~0 band, intensity modulated by means of an electro-optic modulator, was used.The performance of acoustically resonant and nonresonant optoacoustic cells was compared, and it was found that the minimum detectable concentration was lower for the resonant cell, but that the nonresonant cell was more suitable for operation at pressures below atmosphericpressure.The pressure dependence of the optoacoustic signal is discussed in the context of atmospheric absorption .
