Block model and dynamic implication from the earthquake activities and crustal motion in the southeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau (2012)

After analysis of the current crustal deformation field from GPS data,the slip characters of active faults,the surface ruptures of historical earthquakes,and the focal mechanisms of the recent earthquakes,the southeastern margin of the Tibetan plateau was divided into 11 sub-blocks,including the West Qinling sub-block,Aba sub-block,Longmenshan sub-block,Zangdong sub-block,Yajiang sub-block,Shangri La sub-block,Dianzhong sub-block,Baoshan sub-block,Jinggu sub-block,Mengla sub-block and the Ximeng sub-block.The present-day translation and rotation rate of the sub-blocks,also the slip rate of the boundary faults,were calculated using the GPS data.The results show the following characters: Each sub-block has its movement changed after the specific main stress action from the adjacent sub-blocks.Among these sub-blocks,the rotations of the Baoshan sub-block,Zangdong sub-block,Yajiang sub-block,Shangri La sub-block,Dianzhong sub-block,are more obvious than others.Corresponding to the rotations above,the boundary faults among these sub-blocks behave differently.Among these fault activities,the compressions between the Zangdong and Yajiang sub-blocks,as well as between the Yajiang and Dianzhong sub-blocks are obvious.Based on the results above,we discussed the current crustal motion characters of the southeastern margin of the Tibetan plateau.The lateral extrusion of the rigid blocks and gravity collapse of the crust co-exist in the region,which are induced mainly by the channel flow of the lower crust,and partly enhanced by the tensile force from the Burma plate due to its counter-clockwise rotation.
Arylsulfatase fromStreptomyces griseoruhiginosusS980-14 (1995)

A new arylsulfatase designated Es-1, which desulfated etoposide 4'-sulfate and p-nitrophenyl sulfate, was isolated from Streptomyces griseorubiginosus S980-14 and purified to protein homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange column chromatography, and chromatofocusing. The enzyme was active in monomeric form with an approximate molecular weight of 45,000, had a pI value of 4.95, and required calcium for full activity. At an optimum reaction pH of 8.5, iodoacetate, mercurous chloride, and EDTA severely inhibited the activity of Es-1 arylsulfatase.

Understanding the Impact of Expertise on Design Outcome: An Approach Based on Concept Inventories and Item Response Theory (2016)

Research on expertise in design has focused primarily on understanding expert-novice differences. Although it is well established that experts perform better than novices, there is a lack of formal methods to quantify the potential impact of expertise on the quality of design outcomes. The research question addressed in this paper is: How can the impact of expertise on the quality of design solutions be quantified? Quantifying such impacts can be of particular importance in product development, recruitment processes and design competitions. We utilize an approach based on Item Response Theory (IRT) and Concept Inventories (CI) for expertise quantification. We then investigate and validate the impact of expertise on solution quality through a behavioral experiment involving a track design problem. The results highlight the usefulness of the proposed approach and provide a functional relationship between expertise and solution quality. We also observe behavioral differences between participants with varying scores on a test taken in the behavioral experiment. The proposed approach could be used in the future work to quantify learning.
A Distributed Control Approach to A Robust Output Regulation Problem for Multi-Agent Linear Systems (2010)

In this note, the robust output regulation problem of a multi-agent system is considered. An internal model based distributed control scheme is adopted to achieve the objectives of asymptotic tracking and disturbance rejection in an uncertain multi-agent system where both the reference inputs and disturbances are generated by an exosystem.

Attenuation Losses Induced By Discrete Vertically Aligned Fractures (2005)

Discrete, vertically aligned fracture systems impart one and or more notches in the spectral ratios of stacked reflected seismic traces. This apparent attenuation is due to the azimuth dependant scattering introduced by the fractures.
CYP505E3: A Novel Self‐Sufficient ω‐7 In‐Chain Hydroxylase (2020)

Abstract The self‐sufficient cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP505E3 from Aspergillus terreus catalyzes the regioselective in‐chain hydroxylation of alkanes, fatty alcohols, and fatty acids at the ω‐7 position. It is the first reported P450 to give regioselective in‐chain ω‐7 hydroxylation of C10–C16 n ‐alkanes, thereby enabling the one step biocatalytic synthesis of rare alcohols such as 5‐dodecanol and 7‐tetradecanol. It shows more than 70 % regioselectivity for the eighth carbon from one methyl terminus, and displays remarkably high activity towards decane (TTN≈8000) and dodecane (TTN≈2000). CYP505E3 can be used to synthesize the high‐value flavour compound δ‐dodecalactone via two routes: 1) conversion of dodecanoic acid into 5‐hydroxydodecanoic acid (24 % regioselectivity), which at low pH lactonises to δ‐dodecalactone, and 2) conversion of 1‐dodecanol into 1,5‐dodecanediol (55 % regioselectivity), which can be converted into δ‐dodecalactone by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase.
Query-by-example spoken term detection using phonetic posteriorgram templates (2009)

This paper examines a query-by-example approach to spoken term detection in audio files. The approach is designed for low-resource situations in which limited or no in-domain training material is available and accurate word-based speech recognition capability is unavailable. Instead of using word or phone strings as search terms, the user presents the system with audio snippets of desired search terms to act as the queries. Query and test materials are represented using phonetic posteriorgrams obtained from a phonetic recognition system. Query matches in the test data are located using a modified dynamic time warping search between query templates and test utterances. Experiments using this approach are presented using data from the Fisher corpus.
Genetic Heterogeneity of Porphyromonas (Bacteroides) gingivalis by Genomic DNA Fingerprinting (1990)

This study describes the use of total genomic DNA fingerprinting with the use of restriction endonucleases to characterize clinical isolates of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Bacteroides gingivalis) obtained from patients with periodontitis or with root-canal infections. The majority of independent isolates had a unique DNA fingerprint, indicating extensive genetic heterogeneity within this species. Twenty-nine distinct DNA fingerprints were found among the 33 isolates investigated. This is in contrast to biotyping and serotyping, where only one type and three types, respectively, have been reported. The observed heterogeneity indicates that DNA fingerprinting is a sensitive measure of genetic dissimilarity between P. gingivalis isolates and is able to characterize individual isolates. These results have ecological implications, indicating that there is considerable natural diversity in the global population of P. gingivalis, and that there are likely to be relatively large numbers of genetically distinct clonal lines. Furthermore, DNA fingerprinting is a sensitive and powerful tool for longitudinal and cross-sectional epidemiological studies. This technique provides far greater discrimination between isolates than either biotyping or serotyping, and will be most helpful in, for example, the analysis of distribution of clonal lines within one periodontal patient, or the analysis of the transmission to and turnover of strain populations within a patient population, since the probability of two strains with the same DNA fingerprint being found by chance is small.

Phenotyping of nNOS neurons in the postnatal and adult female mouse hypothalamus (2017)

Neurons expressing nitric oxide (NO) synthase (nNOS) and thus capable of synthesizing NO play major roles in many aspects of brain function. While the heterogeneity of nNOS-expressing neurons has been studied in various brain regions, their phenotype in the hypothalamus remains largely unknown. Here we examined the distribution of cells expressing nNOS in the postnatal and adult female mouse hypothalamus using immunohistochemistry. In both adults and neonates, nNOS was largely restricted to regions of the hypothalamus involved in the control of bodily functions, such as energy balance and reproduction. Labeled cells were found in the paraventricular, ventromedial, and dorsomedial nuclei as well as in the lateral area of the hypothalamus. Intriguingly, nNOS was seen only after the second week of life in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH). The most dense and heavily labeled population of cells was found in the organum vasculosum laminae terminalis (OV) and the median preoptic nucleus (MEPO), where most of the somata of the neuroendocrine neurons releasing GnRH and controlling reproduction are located. A great proportion of nNOS-immunoreactive neurons in the OV/MEPO and ARH were seen to express estrogen receptor (ER) α. Notably, almost all ERα-immunoreactive cells of the OV/MEPO also expressed nNOS. Moreover, the use of EYFP<sup>Vglut2</sup> , EYFP<sup>Vgat</sup> , and GFP<sup>Gad67</sup> transgenic mouse lines revealed that, like GnRH neurons, most hypothalamic nNOS neurons have a glutamatergic phenotype, except for nNOS neurons of the ARH, which are GABAergic. Altogether, these observations are consistent with the proposed role of nNOS neurons in physiological processes.
Interaction between aspirin and prostaglandins in the isolated guinea-pig tracheal muscle. (1979)

The effects of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha on the tonus of isolated guinea-pig tracheal chain were investigated and compared with those of histamine and acetylcholine. PGE2 reduced tonus in normal resting state, but elevated tracheal tonus reduced by aspirin. Such PGE2-induced contractions did not exceed the initial resting tonus, and the magnitude and duration of the contractions progressively diminished with increase of PGE2 concentrations. Aspirin produced neither relaxation nor contraction in the presence of a low dose of PGE2. Unlike PGE2, PGF2 alpha produced a dose-related contraction in the normal tracheal chain, and the contractile response to PGF2 alpha was markedly potentiated by aspirin. In the presence of PGF2 alpha, aspirin no longer produced tracheal relaxation but produced a dose-related contraction. The contractile effect of histamine but not of acetylcholine was also potentiated by aspirin, but there was a slight difference between PGF2 alpha and histamine in that the potentiation of action of PGF2 alpha by aspirin was more easily diminished by PGE2. These results suggest that PGE2 plays an important role in the maintenance of the resting tonus of the isolated guinea-pig tracheal chain, and in large doses it also acts as a tracheal relaxant and attenuates the tracheal responses to PGF2 alpha and histamine.
Bipolar Charging of Ultrafine Aerosol Particles (1983)

The stationary bipolar charging characteristics of aerosol particles in the size range between 4.5 and 40 nm have been studied using a new technique whereby the particles neutralized by a 241Am radioactive source are enlarged and directly observed in an electric field. The number ratio of charged particles to total particles obtained in this study was found to deviate from the charge distribution obtained from Boltzmann's law and to agree well with that calculated with the bipolar charging theory of Fuchs using his values for the ion properties. The ratio of positively charged to negatively charged particles was found to be approximately 0.35:0.65.
Prediction of Radiated Emissions From Cables Over a Metal Plane Using a SPICE Model (2014)

A method for creating a simple SPICE model is proposed such that the SPICE model allows prediction of radiated emissions in component level tests, such as those specified by CISPR 25 and MIL-STD 461. The model predicts measured emissions when the antenna is in the vertical direction, where emissions are typically worst for such geometry. It is shown that the radiation from the ground connections between the cables and return plane dominates over the radiation from the horizontal cables. The currents in these ground connections are predicted by treating the cables above the return plane as transmission lines and by treating the ground connections as infinitesimal radiating dipoles. The electric fields generated by these infinitesimal dipoles are summed at the antenna, where the antenna factor is then used to predict the received voltage at the antenna. Test results show that this SPICE model is able to predict peak emissions within a few dB over a range from 60 MHz up to 1 GHz for a variety of circuit configurations. This model should help circuit designers to better evaluate the design of their components early in the design process and help them to better understand the mechanisms behind emissions problems.
Ring Resonator Bandpass Filter With Switchable Bandwidth Using Stepped-Impedance Stubs (2010)

This paper presents a novel ring resonator bandpass filter (BPF) with switchable passband bandwidth. Simple techniques for analyzing resonant frequencies and transmission zeros are shown, and the methods of designing the lengths of open, stepped-impedance stubs attached to the ring are introduced to obtain the tunability of the bandwidth. Interdigital-coupled feed lines are used for harmonic suppression by adding transmission zeros outside of the passband, resulting in wide upper and lower stopbands. After the lengths of the open stubs and the design of the feed lines are decided, the means of producing the bandwidth tunability are analyzed. By changing the characteristic impedances of the open stubs, mid-upper or mid-lower passband bandwidths can be separately varied. Simultaneous increases or decreases of each width of the stepped open stubs change the number of resonances, resulting in wide or narrow passband bandwidths. The measured results of the BPF using PIN diodes show that the tunable passband ratio is 1.22:1.13:1 with a maximum insertion loss of 1.35 dB.
New High Strength, Long-Life Aluminium Alloys with Excellent Sagging Resistance for Heat Exchanger Tube Applications (2005)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;A new family of high strength brazing sheet core alloys with extended long life corrosion performance and high sagging resistance have been developed for use in the tubes of CAB brazed automotive heat exchangers. Normal mill production practices were used to produce the materials. Direct chill casting was followed by scalping, cladding, pre-heating, hot and cold rolling to 0.27 mm gauge with final partial annealing to the -H24 temper. The core was braze clad with AA4343 and the opposite side was clad with FA6815 (a proprietary Sapa sacrificial alloy) for specific high waterside corrosion purposes. The new Sapa alloys denoted FA7872 and FA7873 contain high amounts of manganese, copper and also some zirconium, all of which contribute to the high strength achieved after brazing. The post-brazed strength primarily results from high amounts of alloying elements retained in solid solution. Additionally, as sheet gauges continue to decrease the sagging resistance of tube stock becomes increasingly important. These alloys exhibit almost twice the resistance to sagging during brazing compared to normal long-life tube stock. This is due to the large recrystallised grain size which is characteristic of these alloys. The addition of Mg to the core provides a further strength increase without any negative impact on the sagging resistance.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Corrosion studies show that the braze simulated sheet survives more than 40 days in SWAAT without any perforations. This long-life corrosion behavior is due to the formation during brazing of a very protective sacrificial surface layer. This can be seen in the SWAAT tested sample sections and in the corrosion potential depth profiles. The extremely good long-life corrosion behavior is facilitated by the low silicon, high manganese and high copper contents of the core alloys.&lt;/div&gt;

Computational fluid dynamics derived dataset for evaluation of mixing of a secondary solid phase in a circulating fluidized bed riser (2023)

Transient Eulerian simulations of multiphase flow inside a laboratory-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser were performed with air, bed material, and a secondary solid phase to evaluate the mixing of the secondary solid phase. This simulation data can be applied in model development or for computing terms that are commonly used when modeling mixing with simplified models (pseudo-steady state, non-convective models, etc.). The data was produced with transient Eulerian modeling using Ansys Fluent 19.2. The simulations were done with one fluidization velocity and bed material, while the density, particle size, and inlet velocity of the secondary solid phase was varied and 10 simulations per each secondary solid phase case were simulated for 1 s, each simulation having different starting conditions (flow state of the air and bed material) inside the riser. These 10 cases were then averaged to provide an average mixing profile for each secondary solid phase. Both the averaged and un-average data are included. The details of the modeling, averaging, geometry, materials, and cases are described in the open-access publication by Nikku et al. (Chem. Eng. Sci. 269, 118503).
Independence ofAnaplasma marginaleStrains with High and Low Transmission Efficiencies in the Tick Vector following Simultaneous Acquisition by Feeding on a Superinfected Mammalian Reservoir Host (2009)

Strain superinfection occurs when a second pathogen strain infects a host already carrying a primary strain. Anaplasma marginale superinfection occurs when the second strain carries a variant repertoire different from that of the primary strain, and the epidemiologic consequences depend on the relative efficiencies of tick-borne transmission of the two strains. Following strain superinfection in the reservoir host, we tested whether the presence of two A. marginale (sensu lato) strains that differed in transmission efficiency altered the transmission phenotypes in comparison to those for single-strain infections. Dermacentor andersoni ticks were fed on animals superinfected with the Anaplasma marginale subsp. centrale vaccine strain (low transmission efficiency) and the A. marginale St. Maries strain (high transmission efficiency). Within ticks that acquired both strains, the St. Maries strain had a competitive advantage and replicated to significantly higher levels than the vaccine strain. The St. Maries strain was subsequently transmitted to naïve hosts by ticks previously fed either on superinfected animals or on animals singly infected with the St. Maries strain, consistent with the predicted transmission phenotype of this strain and the lack of interference due to the presence of a competing low-efficiency strain. The vaccine strain was not transmitted by either singly infected or coinfected ticks, consistent with the predicted transmission phenotype and the lack of enhancement due to the presence of a high-efficiency strain. These results support the idea that the strain predominance in regions of endemicity is mediated by the intrinsic transmission efficiency of specific strains regardless of occurrence of superinfection.
Differential regulation of leucine-rich primary response gene 1 (LRPR1) mRNA expression in rat testis and ovary (1998)

In immature rat Sertoli cells, leucine-rich primary response gene 1 (LRPR1) represents a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-responsive gene; the function of the encoded protein is not yet known. LRPR1 mRNA expression is up-regulated very rapidly and specifically by FSH, both in cultured Sertoli cells and in vivo in regulation in more detail, in testis and ovary of fetal, immature, and adult rats. In addition, we have studied the expression of FSH receptor (FSHR) mRNA in relation to LRPR1 mRNA expression. In rat testis, LRPR1 mRNA and FSHR mRNA followed a similar expression pattern, during postnatal development and also at different stages of the spermatogenic cycle in the adult rat. Furthermore, after short-term challenge of the FSH signal transduction pathway in intact immature rats by injection with a relatively high dose of FSH, an inverse relationship between LRPR1 mRNA (up-regulation) and FSHR mRNA expression (down-regulation) was observed. Similar studies in the ovary provided completely different results. LRPR1 mRNA in the postnatal ovary is present well before expression of FSHR mRNA can be first detected. In addition, incubation of ovaries of immature rats with FSH or dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dbcAMP) did not result in up-regulation of LRPR1 mRNA expression. During fetal development, the LRPR1 mRNA expression pattern involved many more tissues, in contrast to the relatively tissue-specific expression of LRPR1 mRNA in gonads of 21 day old and adult rats. Moreover, LRPR1 mRNA expression could be detected as early as 12.5 days post-coitum, whereas FSHR mRNA is absent at this stage of fetal development. We concluded that the pronounced regulation of LRPR1 by FSH observed in the immature rat testis does not occur in the ovary. Furthermore, in the ovary LRPR1 mRNA expression does not appear to be dependent on FSH action. Finally, the LRPR1 gene product may play a general role during fetal development.
