Imaging of subvolcanic Mesozoics in the Saurashtra peninsula of India using traveltime inversion of wide-angle seismic data (2002)

Low-velocity Mesozoic sediments exposed in the northeastern part of the Saurashtra peninsula of western India are assumed to be below the high-velocity volcanic rock cover. Conventional seismic refraction and reflection profiling experiments often fail to map hidden low-velocity formations caused by inherent limitations of these methods. However, wide-angle seismics involving both refractions and reflections is an effective tool for imaging in such a geological setting. Inversion of wide-angle seismic traveltime data from a 45 km long profile reveals a three-layered velocity structure above the basement with Mesozoic sediments sandwiched between exposed volcanic rock and an underlying basalt flow. The derived velocity model closely matches the lithology of the nearby deep Lodhika well, demonstrating the potential of wide-angle seismics in mapping formations hidden below volcanic rock cover. The volcanic rock cover is almost flat, ˜1.4 km thick, with an average velocity of ˜5.1 km s−1. The Mesozoic sediments have a velocity of 4.3 km s−1 and thickness variations from 0.9 to 1.6 km. The underlying basalt flow has a velocity of 5.15 km s−1 and varies in thickness from 1 to 2 km. The basement, with a velocity of 5.80–5.95 km s−1, is at an average depth of 3.9 km. Shear wave analysis yielded velocities varying between 2.65–2.75 and 3.30–3.40 km s−1 for the exposed volcanic rock and the subsurface basement, respectively, corresponding to Poisson ratios of 0.31 and 0.26. The high Poisson ratio in the volcanic rock cover is a result of rock fracturing as indicated by the fast decay of seismic energy with offset.
Illustration of SSMD, z Score, SSMD*, z* Score, and t Statistic for Hit Selection in RNAi High-Throughput Screens (2011)

Hit selection is the ultimate goal in many high-throughput screens. Various analytic methods are available for this purpose. Some commonly used ones are z score, z* score, strictly standardized mean difference (SSMD), SSMD*, and t statistic. It is critical to know how to use them correctly because the misusage of them can readily produce misleading results. Here, the author presents basic concepts, elaborates their commonality and difference, describes some common misusage that people should avoid, and uses simulated simple examples to illustrate how to use them correctly.
A Bandpass Filter Using YIG Film Grown by LPE (2005)

A 1.575 GHz bandpass filter using YIG film grown by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) has been developed. Low insertion loss, high spurious suppression and small temperature drift have been achieved, and the performance of this filter satisfies the requirements for use in a microwave receiver.
Correlation of Ultrasound Findings With Clinical Stages and Impairment in Adhesive Capsulitis of the Shoulder (2021)

The ultrasound parameters associated with structural changes were correlated with clinical characteristics of adhesive capsulitis. Thickened CHL, RI, and AR were observed in affected shoulders. The cutoff values of 2.2 mm for CHL thickness and 4 mm for AR thickness can be used as cutoff diagnostic values for adhesive capsulitis.
Computing the Casimir force using regularized boundary integral equations (2014)

In this paper we use a novel regularization procedure to reduce the calculation of the Casimir force for 2D scalar fields between compact objects to the solution of a classical integral equation defined on the boundaries of the objects. The scalar fields are subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on the object boundaries. We test the integral equation by comparing with what we get for parallel plates, concentric circles and adjacent circles using mode summation and the functional integral method. We show how symmetries in the shapes and configuration of boundaries can easily be incorporated into our method and that it leads to fast evaluation of the Casimir force for symmetric situations.
Relevance of Biochemical Tumor Markers and Lymphadenectomy in Management of Non-Seminomatous Testis Tumors: Current Perspective (1980)

Radioimmunoassay determinations of the biochemical tumor markers, alpha-fetoprotein or human chorionic gonadotropin, revealed elevated serum levels in 94 per cent of the patients with advanced disease. No falsely positive values have been observed. The markers are useful in monitoring the response to therapy and, when persistently elevated after therapy, indicate the presence of residual malignant tumor, usually embryonal carcinoma. However, they have a more limited role in the management and followup of the great majority of new patients with non-seminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis (stages A and B) owing to a falsely negative incidence of 38 per cent in patients found to have retroperitoneal metastases at lymphadenectomy. Furthermore, marker levels obtained during chemotherapy, even in the presence of residual tumor, frequently are normal. Thus, they have a limited role in the early detection of residual disease in patients treated systematically with prophylactic chemotherapy. A meticulous retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy remains the single most important factor in dictating the use of adjuvant chemotherapy, the specific agent and the combination and duration of therapy. The prophylactic use of actinomycin D in stage A and the early aggressive use of vinblastine sulfate and bleomycin in stage B2 have reduced the incidence of recurrence substantially. A prospective plan of management used in 95 consecutive patients since 1974 has resulted in survival free of tumor of 100 per cent for patients with stage A disease, 91 per cent for stage B and 61 per cent for stage C.
Long-period ground motion simulation using centroid moment tensor inversion solutions based on the regional three-dimensional model in the Kanto region, Japan (2020)

Abstract We conducted centroid moment tensor (CMT) inversions of moderate ( Mw 4.5–6.5) earthquakes in the Kanto region, Japan, using a local three-dimensional (3D) model. We then investigated the effects of our 3D CMT solutions on long-period ground motion simulations. Grid search CMT inversions were conducted using displacement seismograms for periods of 25–100 s. By comparing our 3D CMT solutions with those from the local one-dimensional (1D) catalog, we found that our 3D CMT inversion systematically provides magnitudes smaller than those in the 1D catalog. The Mw differences between 3D and 1D catalogs tend to be significant for earthquakes within the oceanic slab. By comparing ground motion simulations between 1D and 3D velocity models, we confirmed that observed Mw differences could be explained by differences in the rigidity structures around the source regions between 3D and 1D velocity models. The 3D velocity structures (especially oceanic crust and mantle) are important for estimating seismic moments in intraslab earthquakes, which are related to fault size estimation. A detailed discussion for intraslabe seismicity can be conducted by using the 3D CMT catalog. The seismic moments also directly affect the amplitudes of ground motions. The 3D CMT catalog allows us to directly conduct the precise forward and inverse modeling of long-period ground motion without adjusting source models, which have been typically applied in the cases using the 1D CMT catalog. We also conducted long-period ground motion simulations using our 3D CMT solutions to evaluate the reproducibility of long-period ground motions at stations within the Kanto Basin. The simulations of our 3D CMT solutions well-reproduced observed ground motions for periods longer than 10 s, even at stations within the Kanto Basin. The reproducibility of simulations was improved from those using solutions in the 1D catalog.
Exploring the relationship between cocrystal stability and symmetry: is Wallach's rule applicable to multi-component solids? (2008)

Comparison of structure and hydration stability of pairs of chiral and racemic binary cocrystals indicates that the racemic solid is more stable than the chiral one; we illustrate that this difference might arise from intermolecular (crystal packing) factors in one case, while intramolecular (molecular conformation) factors are more significant in the other.
Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity define adipocyte transcriptional programs in human obesity (2018)

Our study showed that glucose intolerance and insulin resistance co-operate to remodel adipocyte transcriptome. We also identified the Nuclear Export Mediator Factor (NEMF) and the Ectoderm-Neural Cortex 1 (ENC1) as novel potential targets in the management of metabolic health in human obesity.
3XOR Games with Perfect Commuting Operator Strategies Have Perfect Tensor Product Strategies and are Decidable in Polynomial Time (2023)

Abstract We consider 3XOR games with perfect commuting operator strategies. Given any 3XOR game, we show existence of a perfect commuting operator strategy for the game can be decided in polynomial time. Previously this problem was not known to be decidable. Our proof leads to a construction, showing a 3XOR game has a perfect commuting operator strategy iff it has a perfect tensor product strategy using a 3 qubit (8 dimensional) GHZ state. This shows that for perfect 3XOR games the advantage of a quantum strategy over a classical strategy (defined by the quantum-classical bias ratio) is bounded. This is in contrast to the general 3XOR case where the optimal quantum strategies can require high dimensional states and there is no bound on the quantum advantage. To prove these results, we first show equivalence between deciding the value of an XOR game and solving an instance of the subgroup membership problem on a class of right angled Coxeter groups. We then show, in a proof that consumes most of this paper, that the instances of this problem corresponding to 3XOR games can be solved in polynomial time.
Oscillations of polymeric microbubbles: Effect of the encapsulating shell (2000)

A model for the oscillation of gas bubbles encapsulated in a thin shell has been developed. The model depends on viscous and elastic properties of the shell, described by thickness, shear modulus, and shear viscosity. This theory was used to describe an experimental ultrasound contrast agent from Nycomed, composed of air bubbles encapsulated in a polymer shell. Theoretical calculations were compared with measurements of acoustic attenuation at amplitudes where bubble oscillations are linear. A good fit between measured and calculated results was obtained. The results were used to estimate the viscoelastic properties of the shell material. The shell shear modulus was estimated to between 10.6 and 12.9 MPa, the shell viscosity was estimated to between 0.39 and 0.49 Pas. The shell thickness was 5% of the particle radius. These results imply that the particles are around 20 times more rigid than free air bubbles, and that the oscillations are heavily damped, corresponding to Q-values around 1. We conclude that the shell strongly alters the acoustic behavior of the bubbles: The stiffness and viscosity of the particles are mainly determined by the encapsulating shell, not by the air inside.
CD4+ T Cells Orchestrate Both Amplification and Deletion of CD8+T Cells (1998)

This review focuses on the role of CD4+ T cells in regulating immune responses, orchestrating both the amplification and deletion of immune cells, particularly CD8+ T cells. These two functions, which represent only an apparent contradiction, appear to be two faces of the same process of regulation. In fact, because the immune response, once activated, needs to be carefully controlled or switched off when the antigenic stimulus is eliminated, the immune system has developed several strategies either to regulate clonal amplification or to avoid useless expansion of activated cells. In particular, we have reported many data demonstrating that CD4+ T cells may be indicated as the regulatory element in the activation as well as the deletion of CD8+ T cells. New data are also reported on the ability of anergic CD4+ T cells to suppress CD8+ T-cell activation through induction of apoptosis, and on the need for CD8+ T cells for antigen recognition in inducing cell death in CD4+ T cells. Moreover, the central role of CD4+ T cells in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance has been widely described.
Intrinsic3D: High-Quality 3D Reconstruction by Joint Appearance and Geometry Optimization with Spatially-Varying Lighting (2017)

We introduce a novel method to obtain high-quality 3D reconstructions from consumer RGB-D sensors. Our core idea is to simultaneously optimize for geometry encoded in a signed distance field (SDF), textures from automatically-selected keyframes, and their camera poses along with material and scene lighting. To this end, we propose a joint surface reconstruction approach that is based on Shape-from-Shading (SfS) techniques and utilizes the estimation of spatially-varying spherical harmonics (SVSH) from subvolumes of the reconstructed scene. Through extensive examples and evaluations, we demonstrate that our method dramatically increases the level of detail in the reconstructed scene geometry and contributes highly to consistent surface texture recovery.
‘Exotic no more’: Tuberculosis, public debt and global health in Berlin (2017)

Geographical divisions between North and South are coming increasingly undone in the field of global health. Settings in the global North, such as Berlin, are becoming linked up to those in the global South in manifold ways. In this article, I show through discourse analysis and ethnographic research how tuberculosis and its meanings have been transfigured in Western Europe through the worldwide circulation of the disease and its definition as a global health epidemic returning to the North from the South through global migration routes. I then draw attention to the ways in which public health professionals in Berlin make sense of locally implemented economic processes of debt and austerity that have been in effect since the early 2000s. Such processes of indebtedness and privatisation render the strong public health infrastructures that characterise the global North increasingly fragile, and are comparable to the structural adjustment policies that have been imposed upon countries in the global South. I argue that economic processes of austerity in Berlin complement the meaning of TB as an immigrants' disease, while older meanings of TB as a disease of poverty resurface.

Isolation of Primary Murine Skeletal Muscle Microvascular Endothelial Cells (2019)

The endothelial cells of skeletal muscle capillaries (muscle microvascular endothelial cells, MMEC) build up the barrier between blood stream and skeletal muscles regulating the exchange of fluids and nutrients as well as the immune response against infectious agents by controlling immune cell migration. For these functions, MMEC form a functional "myovascular unit" (MVU), with further cell types, such as fibroblasts, pericytes and skeletal muscle cells. Consequently, a dysfunction of MMEC and therefore the MVU contributes to a vast variety of myopathies. However, regulatory mechanisms of MMEC in health and disease remain insufficiently understood and their elucidation precedes more specific treatments for myopathies. The isolation and in-depth investigation of primary MMEC functions in the context of the MVU might facilitate a better understanding of these processes. This article provides a protocol to isolate primary murine MMEC of the skeletal muscle by mechanical and enzymatic dissociation including purification and culture maintenance steps.
Propanil Exposure Induces Delayed but Sustained Abrogation of Cell-MediatedImmunity through Direct Interference with Cytotoxic T-LymphocyteEffectors (2006)

The postemergent herbicide propanil (PRN ; also known as 3,4-dichloropropionanilide) is used on rice and wheat crops and has well-known immunotoxic effects on various compartments of the immune system, including T-helper lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and macrophages. It is unclear, however, whether PRN also adversely affects cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) , the primary (1 degrees ) effectors of cell-mediated immunity. In this study we examined both the direct and indirect effects of PRN exposure on CTL activation and effector cell function to gauge its likely impact on cell-mediated immunity. Initial experiments addressed whether PRN alters the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) pathway for antigen processing and presentation by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) , thereby indirectly affecting effector function. These experiments demonstrated that PRN does not impair the activation of CTLs by PRN-treated APCs. Subsequent experiments addressed whether PRN treatment of CTLs directly inhibits their activation and revealed that 1 degrees alloreactive CTLs exposed to PRN are unimpaired in their proliferative response and only marginally inhibited in their lytic activity. Surprisingly, secondary stimulation of these alloreactive CTL effectors, however, even in the absence of further PRN exposure, resulted in complete abrogation of CTL lytic function and a delayed but significant long-term effect on CTL responsiveness. These findings may have important implications for the diagnosis and clinical management of anomalies of cell-mediated immunity resulting from environmental exposure to various herbicides and other pesticides.

Improvement in Fear Memory by Histamine-Elicited ERK2 Activation in Hippocampal CA3 Cells (2003)

Consolidation of associative memories appears to require extracellular signal-related kinase2 (ERK2) activation, which is modulated by several factors, including neurotransmitter receptor stimulation. Here we show that in vitro stimulation of either H2 or H3 histaminergic receptors activates ERK2 in hippocampal CA3 pyramidal cells. In behaving animals, bilateral posttraining injections into the dorsal hippocampus of histamine H2 or H3 receptor agonists improve memory consolidation after contextual fear conditioning. Local administration of U0126, a selective inhibitor of ERK kinase, prevents memory improvements exerted by the agonists, without causing any behavioral effect per se. This is the first evidence of a positive correlation between ERK phosphorylation and memory improvement. Moreover, we demonstrate that the brain histaminergic system regulates hippocampal ERK cascade. Finally, our data indicate that early ERK2 hippocampal activation is not required for the expression of long-term fear memories.

Multichannel deconvolution imaging condition for shot-profile migration (2003)

A significant improvement of seismic image resolution is obt ained by framing the shotprofile migration imaging condition as a 2-D deconvolution i n the shot position/time (xs, t ) domain. This imaging condition gives a better image resolution than the crosscorrelation imaging condition and is more stable than the “more conventional” 1-D deconvolution imaging condition. A resolution increment is also observed in common image gathers (CIGs) computed with the 2-D deconvolution imaging condition, thus allowing a more accurate velocity analysis.
