Effect of UV-C and pulsed-UV treatments on reduction ofPenicillium expansumspores andEscherichia coliK12 in a model apple juice (2016)

<abstract> <b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> Pasteurization of fruits juices is essential for ensuring their safety and shelf stability. Penicillium expansum can cause significant health problems due to the production of patulin in apple juice. Ultraviolet (UV) light technology has been proposed as an alternative to thermal pasteurization process; however, the efficacy of UV light may be limited due to its low energy delivery and the physicochemical properties of the food treated. Pulsed UV technology is an alternative technology that may improve the treatment. The present study compares the effectiveness of UV-C and pulsed UV light treatments on the inactivation of P. expansum spores and E. coli K12 in model apple juices containing added ascorbic acid and malic acid, in the presence or absence of added fructose. Model juice samples were treated with UV-C for up to 100 min and with pulsed UV for up to 70 s. Log reductions for both microorganisms increased with time although resistance of P. expansum was greater compared to E.coli K12 for both UV treatments. In contrast to recent studies showing accelerated UV destruction of ascorbic acid in the presence of added fructose, log reductions for pulsed UV treatments for both microorganisms were significantly higher (pã0.05) in samples without added fructose than with added fructose. Moreover, there was no significant difference between log reductions for UV-C treated samples with or without added fructose for the UV-C treatment. For example, UV-C treatment for 100 min resulted in 2.99 and 3.05 log CFU/ml reduction of E.coli K12 with or without added fructose, respectively, whereas P. expansum populations were reduced by 1.97 and 2.04 log CFU/ml for 100 min of UV-C treatment with or without added fructose, respectively. Pulsed UV treatments resulted in observed reductions of 3.80 and 4.67 log CFU/ml of E.coli K12 with or without added fructose at 40 s, whereas the population of P. expansum was reduced by 3.16 and 3.85 log CFU/ml with or without added fructose at 60 s, respectively. These results show that pulsed UV can be more effective in reducing microbial populations in apple juices.
Snowmobile Effects on Movements of White-tailed Deer: A Case-study (1979)

The effects of snowmobile traffic on the winter home-ranges, movements, and activity patterns, of White-tailed Deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ), were studied during two winters in northern Wisconsin. There were no significant differences in home-range size and habitat use of the Deer in areas with and without snowmobiling. However, snowmobiling caused some Deer to leave the immediate vicinity of the snowmobile trail. Deer were most affected when they were within 61 m of the snowmobile trail.
Magnetic and magneto-transport studies of substrate effect on the martensitic transformation in a NiMnIn shape memory alloy (2016)

The effect of substrates on the magnetic and transport properties of Ni2Mn1.5In0.5 ultra-thin films were studied theoretically and experimentally. High quality 8-nm films were grown by laser-assisted molecular beam epitaxy deposition. Magneto-transport measurements revealed that the films undergo electronic structure transformation similar to those of bulk materials at the martensitic transformation. The temperature of the transformation depends strongly on lattice parameters of the substrate. To explain this behavior, we performed DFT calculations on the system and found that different substrates change the relative stability of the ferromagnetic (FM) austenite and ferrimagnetic (FiM) martensite states. We conclude that the energy difference between the FM austenite and FiM martensite states in Ni2Mn1.5In0.5 films grown on MgO (001) substrates is ΔE = 0.20 eV per NiMnIn f.u, somewhat lower compared to ΔE = 0.24 eV in the bulk material with the same lattice parameters. When the lattice parameters of Ni2Mn1.5In0.5 film have values close to those of the MgO substrate, the energy difference becomes ΔE = 0.08 eV per NiMnIn f.u. These results suggest the possibility to control the martensitic transition in thin films through substrate engineering.
Optical measurements pertaining to Space Station solar dynamic power systems (1987)

The Space Station solar dynamic power system is a hybrid of solar photovoltaic and solar dynamic systems, the latter of which uses a parabolic reflector to collect solar energy. This paper describes analytical results of an off-axis solar illumination on the intensity distribution in arbitrary target planes perpendicular to the axis of a parabolic reflector. Such computational capability would make it possible to predict optical intensity distributions resulting from off-axis angles of incident radiation on such target planes. To validate the computer code, experimental optical measurements were performed on the multifaceted paraboloidal collecor at the Solar Dynamic Test Facility at Rockedyne's Santa Susana Field Laboratory. The experimental data compared reasonably well with the calculated values.
Studies on the Components of Essential Oil of Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata THUMBERG) (1971)

The steam-volatile constituents of air-dried bud of Eugenia caryophyllata THUMBEDG were examined by gas chromatography, and from infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra. Eugenol (I) 80.87%, β-caryophyllene (II) 9.12%, acetyleugenol (III) 7.33%, and nine other minor components were identified. Besides the previously reported components (I, II, III, methyl amyl ketone, methyl salicylate, α- and β-humulene), benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, benzyl acetate, m-methoxybenzaldehyde, α-ylangene, and chavicol were newly detected.

I. A kinetic study of He/ix pomatia hemocyanin- specific IgE, IgG, IgA, and IgM antibody responses in patients with asthma and in matched controls (1984)

Eleven asthmatic patients with allergy and 10 age- und sex-matched controls were immunized subcutaneously with I mg of the primary test immunogen Helix pomatia hemocyanin (HPH) The HPH-specific IgE, IgG, IgA, and Iglvl antibody response was measured by ELlSA. After immunization, not only the IgE but also the IgG antibody response of the patients exceeded that of the controls (p =C 0.01). IgA antibody response also tended to be higher in the asthmatic group (MS). Except for an earlier rise after immunization in the asthmatic group (p < 0.05). Igk4 peak responses did not difSer sigmficantly between the two groups. There was a high correlation (r = 0.9) between the magnitude of the IgE and the IgG antibody responses. IgM antibody response did not correlate with the response in any of the other antibody classes measured. The total serum immunoglobulin concentration was determined before immunization. Only the IgE level was significantly higher in the asthmatic group (p < 0.01). No correlation was found between serum immunoglobulin concentrations and the magnitude of the HPH-specific antibody response in the same class. We conclude that the increased humorul responsiveness of asthmatic patients with allergy is not restricted to the IgE class nor to a limited number of commonly encountered antigens (allergens).

Fall 2009 Meeting of the WSS/CI, Irvine, CA New Tools for Diagnosing SCR Performance Issues (2009)

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems are used for NOx control in stationary combustion systems utilized for power and process steam generation. Over the years, Fossil Energy Research Corporation (FERCo) has performed numerous projects optimizing SCR systems and diagnosing performance issues. These have covered a range of applications from small (3 MW) natural gas-fired turbines to large (1300 MW) coal-fired utility boilers. FERCo has developed tools for optimization and diagnostic purposes, including instrumentation and methodologies for 1) tuning the ammonia injection grid (AIG), 2) measuring the NH3/NOx and velocity distribution at the catalyst face, 3) identifying flue gas bypass, and 4) monitoring catalyst activity. This paper reviews these tools and illustrates their use on SCR systems.
Hoe groot is het risico op diepe veneuze trombose bij een jonge vrouw met factor II mutatie die orale anticonceptie gebruikt? (2006)

Erfelijke trombofilie is een genetische predispositie voor het krijgen van veneuze trombose. De meest voorkomende erfelijke trombofiliefactor is APC-resistentie, veroorzaakt door de factor V Leiden mutatie, gevolgd door de protrombinemutatie. Proteïne C, proteïne S en antitrombinedeficiëntie komen veel minder frequent voor (1). Mensen met de protrombinemutatie (factor II G20210A mutatie) hebben een verhoogde spiegel van factor II, wat leidt tot de verhoogde tromboseneiging.
Effect of Toe and Wrist/Finger Flexor Strength Training on Athletic Performance (1988)

The effects of toe and wrist/finger flexor strength training on performance in the 36.58 m (40 yd) dash and baseball throwing velocity was investigated. Sixty-two students, ages 18 to 25, were divided into two treatment groups and a control group. Both treatment groups participated in a 12-week strength program that incorporated all major muscle groups. In addition, group A exercised toe flexors and group B exercised the wrist/finger flexors. Mean pretest to posttest increases in acceleration from 4.57 to 18.29 m (5 to 20 yds) (m · s–2) and in velocity from 18.29 to 36.58 m (20 to 40 yds) (m · s–1) were: treatment group A = 0.025 (2.2 percent) and 0.115 (1.5 percent); treatment group B = 0.004 (0.3 percent) and 0.020 (0.3 percent); control group = −0.015 (−1.3 percent) and −0.118 (−1.5 percent). Mean pretest to posttest increases (m · s–1) in throwing velocity were: treatment group A = 0.885 (3.5 percent), treatment group B = 1.091 (4.29 percent), control group = −0.102 (−0.4 percent). Group A showed significantly greater pretest to posttest increases in acceleration and velocity in the 36.58 m (40 yd) dash than group B and the control group. In baseball throwing velocity both group A and group B increased significantly and the control group had a small decrease from pretest to posttest. Strengthening toe flexors improves performance in the 36.58 m (40 yd) dash, but effects of strengthening finger/wrist flexors and baseball throwing velocity remain to be established.
Estimation of Electric Charge Output for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting (2004)

Abstract: Piezoelectric materials (PZT) can be used as mechanisms to transfer mechanical energy, usually ambient vibration, into electrical energy that can be stored and used to power other devices. With the recent advances in wireless and micro‐electro‐mechanical‐systems (MEMS) technology, sensors can be placed in exotic and remote locations. As these devices are wireless it becomes necessary that they have their own power supply. The power supply in most cases is the conventional battery; however, problems can occur when using batteries because of their finite life span. Because most sensors are being developed so that they can be placed in remote locations such as structural sensors on a bridge or global positioning service (GPS) tracking devices on animals in the wild, obtaining the sensor simply to replace the battery can become a very expensive task. Furthermore, in the case of sensors located on civil structures, it is often advantageous to embed them, making access impossible. Therefore, if a method of obtaining the untapped energy surrounding these sensors was implemented, significant life could be added to the power supply. One method is to use PZT materials to obtain ambient energy surrounding the test specimen. This captured energy could then be used to prolong the power supply or in the ideal case provide endless energy for the sensors lifespan. The goal of this study is to develop a model of the PZT power harvesting device. This model would simplify the design procedure necessary for determining the appropriate size and vibration levels necessary for sufficient energy to be produced and supplied to the electronic devices. An experimental verification of the model is also performed to ensure its accuracy.
Compact single mode tunable laser using a digital micromirror device (2011)

The wavelength tuning properties of a tunable external cavity laser based on multiplexed volume holographic gratings and a commercial micromirror device are reported. The 3x3x3 cm(3) laser exhibits single mode operation in single or multi colors between 776 nm and 783 nm with less than 7.5 MHz linewidth, 37 mW output power, 50 μs rise/fall time constant and a maximum switching rate of 0.66 KHz per wavelength. The unique discrete-wavelength-switching features of this laser are also well suited as a source for continuous wave Terahertz generation and three-dimensional metrology.
CMOS folding A/D converters with current-mode interpolation (1996)

A CMOS folding and interpolating A/D conversion architecture fully compatible with standard digital CMOS technology is described. Fully-differential, continuous-time, current-mode, open-loop analog circuitry is used to achieve high speed. Results from 125 Ms/s 8-b and 150 Ms/s 6-b prototypes implemented in a digital 1 /spl mu/m n-well CMOS process are presented. The 8-b (6-b) converter occupies 4 mm/sup 2/ (2 mm/sup 2/) and dissipates 225 mW (55 mW) from a single 5 V power supply.
Optimization of diversity antenna directivities based on spherical mode expansion (2010)

This paper proposes a new approach for designing diversity antenna directivities based on spherical mode expansion. The antenna directivity is expanded by spherical wave functions and spherical mode coefficients. Spherical mode coefficients, which specify the antenna directivity, can be estimated from a given antenna volume and an angular profile of incident waves. In this paper, we derive the optimal antenna directivities for diversity system in order to minimize outage probability of combined channel gain in the given environment. The optimal antenna matched to a given propagation environment can be designed by using this approach.
Implementation of MAP: A system for mobile assistant programming (2002)

We have define a network programming model called Mobile Assistant Programming (MAP) for development and execution of communication applications in large scale networks of heterogeneous computers. MAP assistants are high-level interpreted programs that can move between nodes, create clones and report results. Their execution is asynchronous and persistent to take into account client disconnections and node failures. This paper presents the implementation of the MAP model using the World-Wide Web framework and the Scheme programming language. Our measures and the first experience with MAP applications show that significant performance improvement can be achieved by moving computation closer to data: both the elapsed time and network traffic are reduced.
Prognostic value of the plasminogen activation system in patients with gastric carcinoma (1996)

Towards the role of metal ions in the structural variability of proteins: CdII speciation of a metal ion binding loop motif (2011)

A de novo designed dodecapeptide (HS), inspired by the metal binding loops of metal-responsive transcriptional activators, was synthesized. The aim was to create a model system for structurally promiscuous and intrinsically unstructured proteins, and explore the effect of metal ions on their structure and dynamics. The interaction with Cd(II) was investigated by UV, synchrotron radiation CD, (1)H NMR, and perturbed angular correlation (PAC) of γ-rays spectroscopy, pH-potentiometry, and molecular modelling. The peptide mainly displays characteristics of random coil in the CD spectra, and the molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that it is unstructured with transient and varying helical content. The spectroscopic studies revealed the formation of loop structures with the coordination of the two Cys-thiolates close to each end of the HS peptide, in the presence of one equivalent of Cd(II) per ligand. The imidazole moiety from histidine is also bound to Cd(II) at neutral pH and above. In the presence of 0.5 equivalent of Cd(II) per HS metal bridged structures with e.g. CdS(2)N(2) and possibly CdS(4) coordination geometries are formed above pH ~6. In an equilibrium of several co-existing species the peptide is exchanging between a number of structures also in its metal ion bound state(s), as indicated by NMR and PAC data.

Two Genetically Separable Phases of Growth Inhibition Induced by Blue Light in Arabidopsis Seedlings (1998)

High fluence-rate blue light (BL) rapidly inhibits hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis, as in other species, after a lag time of 30 s. This growth inhibition is always preceded by the activation of anion channels. The membrane depolarization that results from the activation of anion channels by BL was only 30% of the wild-type magnitude in hy4, a mutant lacking the HY4 BL receptor. High-resolution measurements of growth made with a computer-linked displacement transducer or digitized images revealed that BL caused a rapid inhibition of growth in wild-type and hy4 seedlings. This inhibition persisted in wild-type seedlings during more than 40 h of continuous BL. By contrast, hy4 escaped from the initial inhibition after approximately 1 h of BL and grew faster than wild type for approximately 30 h. Wild-type seedlings treated with 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid, a potent blocker of the BL-activated anion channel, displayed rapid growth inhibition, but, similar to hy4, these seedlings escaped from inhibition after approximately 1 h of BL and phenocopied the mutant for at least 2.5 h. The effects of 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid and the HY4 mutation were not additive. Taken together, the results indicate that BL acts through HY4 to activate anion channels at the plasma membrane, causing growth inhibition that begins after approximately 1 h. Neither HY4 nor anion channels appear to participate greatly in the initial phase of inhibition.
Low-Power Radiofrequency Systems for the RNO-G Project (2023)

The Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) seeks to detect the Askaryan radio emission from energetic neutrinos (> 10 PeV) interacting in the Greenland ice sheet. The RNO-G detector comprises an array of independent and autonomous radio-detector stations, each with a hybrid design composed of deep borehole ($\sim$100m) and surface antennas, which require low-power, robust, and scalable low-noise radiofrequency (RF) amplifier and signal-transport systems over a $\sim$80-650MHz bandwidth. In this contribution, we will present the design and performance of the custom RNO-G RF signal chains, including a field-proven and low-cost RF-over-fiber (RFoF) unit.
Modelling of radiation transport in metal-halide lamps (2005)

A two dimensional ray-tracing radiation code was developed in order to simulate radiation transport in metal-halide lamps. By exploiting the cylindrical symmetry of the model, a significant reduction in the calculation time could be achieved. The current model produces reasonable results, but further effort will have to be spend in order to reduce the calculation time.
MACROLIDE ANTIBIOTIC STUDIES. XV (1970)

Macrolide antibiotics of the polyene antifimgal subgroup undergo aerial autoxidation in methanol solution by a radical addition process which can be inhibited by antioxidants. The related pentaenes of the filipin complex, which has the main component (I), and lagosin (II) yield as the major primary products the corresponding tetraene epoxides (III) and (IV), which are probably mixtures of diastereoisomers. The structures of the products were established by spectroscopy and chemical degradation. Extended autoxidation leads to higher oxidation products and ultimately to polymeric materials.
A Brief History of Airborne Self-Spacing Concepts (2009)

This paper presents a history of seven of the more significant airborne and airborne-assisted aircraft spacing concepts that have been developed and evaluated during the past 40 years. The primary focus of the earlier concepts was on enhancing airport terminal area productivity and reducing air traffic controller workload. The more recent efforts were designed to increase runway throughput through improved aircraft spacing precision at landing. The latest concepts are aimed at supporting more fuel efficient and lower community noise operations while maintaining or increasing runway throughput efficiency.
Investigations on High‐Temperature Thermal Oxidation Process at Top and Bottom Interfaces of Top Silicon of SIMOX Wafers (1996)

The structure of separation by implanted oxygen (SIMOX) wafers oxidized at temperatures from 1000 to 1350°C has been investigated using cross‐sectional transmission electron micorscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry. By high‐temperature oxidation at 1350°C, a 43 nm thick internal thermal oxide (ITOX) layer is grown between the top Si layer and the buried oxide layer formed by oxygen implantation and subsequent annealing. The resulting buried‐oxide thickness is one and one‐half times the original. The thickness of ITOX increases with increasing oxidation temperature. In addition, the superficial thermal oxide layer formed on the SIMOX wafers during the oxidation is somewhat thinner than that on the bulk Si wafers. A mechanism to account for both superficial thermal oxidation and internal thermal oxidation is proposed. The top Si‐buried oxide interface, where some oxygen atoms react with Si during high‐temperature oxidation, acts as a sink for them and causes them to diffuse more easily through the thin top Si layer to the interface.
