Nocturnal Behavior of Four Lepidopteran Pests That Attack Tobacco and Other Crops1,2 (1977)

The nocturnal behavior of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.), cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta (L.), and soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens Walker, was observed in a 0.4-ha cage planted to cigar-wrapper tobacco for ca. 3 months. Ambient air and dew point temperatures, night brightness, wind speed, and relative humidity were recorded in an attempt to relate these meteorological parameters to moth behavior. The general pattern of moth activity indicates early evening and early morning peaks of feeding interspersed with oviposition. Mating generally followed a period of moth flight inactivity that occurred just after the early evening peaks in feeding and ovipositional activity. Females were observed “calling” for mates during the inactive flight period, and precopulatory behavior was observed and described. The cabbage looper and tobacco hornworm generally mated earlier in the evening than the soybean looper and tobacco budworm whose mating periods were quite similar and occurred primarily between 10 PM and 4 AM. Mating occurred on both dark and bright nights, but most mating took place during dark periods. However, the tobacco plants and cage cover created an abnormally dark condition within the cage during most of the experimental period. Also, most mating occurred at temperatures near 21.1 °C and a relative humidity above 90%, but these parameters were quite uniformly high throughout the experimental period. Similarly, the wind velocities experienced in the test did not appear to influence mating behavior.
Electronic states in Cd{sub 1{minus}x}Zn{sub x}Te/CdTe strained layer coupled double quantum wells and their photoluminescence (1994)

Experimental and theoretical investigation of electronic states in a strained-layer CdTe/CdZnTe coupled double quantum well structure are presented. The optical properties of this lattice-mismatched heterostructure were characterized with photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation and polarization spectroscopies. Influence of electrical field on exciton states in the strained-layer CdTe/CdZnTe coupled double quantum well structure is experimentally studied. The confined electronic states were calculated in the framework of the envelope function approach, taking into account the strain effect induced by the lattice-mismatch. Experimental results are compared with the calculated transition energies.
Application of a Protocol to Observe Leadership Behaviors in Engineering Design Teams (2019)

Abstract This protocol study was conducted to increase understanding of the emergence and distribution of functional leadership behaviors in undergraduate engineering design teams. This study applies the protocol presented at the 2018 IDETC to observe design teams consisting of novice engineers constructing a function model during a video recorded session. The videos were then coded for leadership functions and analyzed to determine the distribution of informal leadership functions between the team members and the temporal emergence of the informal leadership structures within the teams. Leadership behaviors were observed to be predominantly transition and action functions with relational behaviors occurring less frequently. The behaviors were quantified by number of occurrences per quintile. The leaders observed to perform the most leadership behaviors early in the sessions often remained consistent. However, leadership functions were shared between team members as demonstrated by the leadership network graphs.

Photorefractive gratings in the organic crystal 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine doped with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (1990)

The photorefractive properties of single crystals of the organic material 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine doped with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane are investigated with two-wave mixing experiments. Refractive-index gratings with an amplitude of up to 1.8 × 10−6 could be recorded for grating vectors along the twofold axis. The phase gratings showed a phase shift of between 20° and 70° with respect to the intensity grating. An experimental procedure for determining phases and amplitudes of absorption and phase gratings is discussed in detail.
Fabrication and characterization of embedded capacitors in printed circuit boards using B-stage epoxy/BaTiO<inf>3</inf> composite embedded capacitor films (ECFs) (2008)

Embedded capacitor technology is one of the methods to miniaturize and to obtain higher performance of electronic package systems. High dielectric constant epoxy/ceramic composites have been of great interest as embedded capacitor materials for packaging applications, because they have good processability and compatibility with printed circuit boards (PCB), in addition to high dielectric constant.
Shigella entry unveils a calcium/calpain-dependent mechanism for inhibiting sumoylation (2017)

Disruption of the sumoylation/desumoylation equilibrium is associated with several disease states such as cancer and infections, however the mechanisms regulating the global SUMO balance remain poorly defined. Here, we show that infection by <i>Shigella flexneri</i>, the causative agent of human bacillary dysentery, switches off host sumoylation during epithelial cell infection in vitro and in vivo and that this effect is mainly mediated by a calcium/calpain-induced cleavage of the SUMO E1 enzyme SAE2, thus leading to sumoylation inhibition. Furthermore, we describe a mechanism by which <i>Shigella</i> promotes its own invasion by altering the sumoylation state of RhoGDIα, a master negative regulator of RhoGTPase activity and actin polymerization. Together, our data suggest that SUMO modification is essential to restrain pathogenic bacterial entry by limiting cytoskeletal rearrangement induced by bacterial effectors. Moreover, these findings identify calcium-activated calpains as powerful modulators of cellular sumoylation levels with potentially broad implications in several physiological and pathological situations.
Acrosomal Constituents Identified With a Monoclonal Antibody are Modified during Late Spermiogenesis in the Mouse1 (1988)

Monoclonal antibody 1D4, a mouse immunoglobulin M raised against CD-1 mouse spermatogenic cell membranes, recognizes acrosomal constituents in the mouse, rabbit, and guinea pig. In the mouse, acrosomes of round and condensing spermatids were labeled with 1D4 by indirect immunofluorescence on isolated cells and by immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections. During the terminal steps of spermiogenesis, however, acrosomal labeling in mouse germ cells was lost. Little or no 1D4 immunoreactivity was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in prepubertal testes, Sertoli cells, or several somatic tissues. To identify antigens recognized by 1D4, mouse spermatogenic cell proteins were separated by one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose, and immunostained. Multiple antigens larger than 200,000 relative molecular weight (Mr) were resolved on 1D immunoblots from round and condensing spermatids isolated by sedimentation velocity at unit gravity. A smaller antigen (Mr 85,000 isoelectric point approximately 5.7) was also detected on 1D and 2D immunoblots of round spermatid proteins. These antigens can be labeled biosynthetically with [3H] glucosamine and immunoprecipitated, suggesting that they are a set of glycoconjugates that share a common epitope recognized by 1D4. This determinant is no longer detectable in late spermatids, indicating that biochemical modifications of acrosomal constituents occur during the terminal steps of germ cell differentiation.
Model-guided segmentation of opacified thorax vessels (2005)

We propose a novel method, guided slice marching to segment opacified vessels tree in 3D image sets (CT scans). It combines a front propagation technique, slice marching, and an anatomical model to guide the propagation for solving the particular case of touching vessels. The formulation of this method, which is based on interface evolution theory, enables easy integration of an a priori model of knowledge of vessels topology to handle the case of touching vessels, where image-based method systematically fails. The a priori knowledge is expressed as parametric curves that model vessels centerline. That information is injected in the fast marching method through the speed of propagation, setting it to zero at missing vessels boundaries. The model is intended to be re-used across patients, and must therefore be registered with the image.
Fine-Grained Run-Tume Power Gating through Co-optimization of Circuit, Architecture, and System Software Design (2013)

Power consumption has recently emerged as a first class design constraint in system LSI designs. Specially, leakage power has occupied a large part of the total power consumption. Therefore, reduction of leakage power is indispensable for efficient design of high-performance system LSIs. Since 2006, we have carried out a research project called “Innovative Power Control for Ultra Low-Power and High-Performance System LSIs”, supported by Japan Science and Technology Agency as a CREST research program. One of the major objectives of this project is reducing the leakage power consumption of system LSIs by innovative power control through tight cooperation and co-optimization of circuit technology, architecture, and system software designs. In this project, we focused on power gating as a circuit technique for reducing leakage power. Temporal granularity is one of the most important issue in power gating. Thus, we have developed a series of Geysers as proof-of-concept CPUs which provide several mechanisms of fine-grained run-time power gating. In this paper, we describe their concept and design, and explain why co-optimization of different design layers are important. Then, three kinds of power gating implementations and their evaluation are presented from the view point of power saving and temporal granularity.
Sensor modality fusion with CNNs for UGV autonomous driving in indoor environments (2017)

We present a novel end-to-end learning framework to enable ground vehicles to autonomously navigate unknown environments by fusing raw pixels from cameras and depth measurements from a LiDAR. A deep neural network architecture is introduced to effectively perform modality fusion and reliably predict steering commands even in the presence of sensor failures. The proposed network is trained on our own dataset, from LiDAR and a camera mounted on a UGV taken in an indoor corridor environment. Comprehensive experimental evaluation to demonstrate the robustness of our network architecture is performed to show that the proposed deep learning neural network is able to autonomously navigate in the corridor environment. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the fusion of the camera and LiDAR modalities provides further benefits beyond robustness to sensor failures. Specifically, the multimodal fused system shows a potential to navigate around static and dynamic obstacles and to handle changes in environment geometry without being trained for these tasks.
Deterministic light–matter coupling with single quantum dots (2012)

In 1946, E. M. Purcell predicted that the radiative lifetime of an emitter is not an intrinsic property but can be modified by structuring the surrounding electromagnetic field [36]. By inserting a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) in an optical cavity, one can accelerate or inhibit its spontaneous emission. In the present article, we show that the QD spontaneous emission can be deterministically controlled to fabricate bright sources of quantum light.
Homopolymerization of Epoxides in the Presence of Fluorinated Carbon Acids (1985)

Cationic polymerization of epoxides has been a commercially important means for the preparation of low molecular weight polyethers and curing epoxy adhesives for many years.1 In order to maximize the molecular weight of the formed polymers, the polymerizations are typically run at sub-ambient temperatures in very polar solvents2. However, these conditions are not applicable to the curing of polyfunctional epoxy resins in industrial applications either as adhesives or coatings. Curing of epoxy resins with cationic initiators at ambient temperatures typically results in some monomer rearrangement, formation of cyclic oligomers and catalyst decomposition in addition to the desired linear epoxy homopolymerization3. These side reactions can dramatically affect the ultimate properties of the cured resin, making the use of initiators with large counterions more desirable. Previous work, however, has been focused on the polymer formation and the fate of the catalysts has been somewhat neglected. We report here on the thermo-kinetic analysis

Diverse application of MRI for mouse phenotyping (2017)

Small animal models, particularly mouse models, of human diseases are becoming an indispensable tool for biomedical research. Studies in animal models have provided important insights into the etiology of diseases and accelerated the development of therapeutic strategies. Detailed phenotypic characterization is essential, both for the development of such animal models and mechanistic studies into disease pathogenesis and testing the efficacy of experimental therapeutics. MRI is a versatile and noninvasive imaging modality with excellent penetration depth, tissue coverage, and soft tissue contrast. MRI, being a multi-modal imaging modality, together with proven imaging protocols and availability of good contrast agents, is ideally suited for phenotyping mutant mouse models. Here we describe the applications of MRI for phenotyping structural birth defects involving the brain, heart, and kidney in mice. The versatility of MRI and its ease of use are well suited to meet the rapidly increasing demands for mouse phenotyping in the coming age of functional genomics.

Accumulation of cadmium in insulin-producing β cells (2012)

Evidence suggests that chronic low level cadmium exposure impairs the function of insulin-producing β cells and may be associated with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Herein, we describe the cadmium content in primary human islets and define the uptake kinetics and effects of environmentally relevant cadmium concentrations in cultured β cells. The average cadmium content in islets from 10 non-diabetic human subjects was 29 ± 7 nmol/g protein (range 7 to 72 nmol/g protein). Exposure of the β-cell line MIN6 to CdCl 2 concentrations between 0.1 and 1.0 µmol/L resulted in a dose- and time-dependent uptake of cadmium over 72 h. This uptake resulted in an induction of metallthionein expression, likely enhancing cellular cadmium accumulation. Furthermore, cadmium accumulation resulted in an inhibition of glucose stimulated insulin secretion in MIN6 cells and primary mouse islets. Our results indicate that this impairment in β-cell function is not due to an increase in cell death or due to an increase in oxidative stress. We conclude that mouse β cells accumulate cadmium in a dose- and time-dependent manner over a prolonged time course at environmentally relevant concentrations. This uptake leads to a functional impairment of β-cell function without significant alterations in cell viability, expression of genes important for β-cell function or increase in oxidative stress.
Intrathecal Clonidine Potentiates Suppression of Tactile Hypersensitivity by Spinal Cord Stimulation in a Model of Neuropathy (2004)

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may provide pain relief in approximately 60%-70% of well selected patients with pain caused by peripheral nerve injury. We have previously demonstrated that intrathecal (IT) administration of small doses of certain drugs, both in experimental animals and in patients, significantly enhances the pain-relieving effect of SCS. The alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist, clonidine, is extensively used as an adjunct to spinal morphine and is suggested to be particularly effective for neuropathic pain, but its clinical use is limited by side effects such as sedation and hypotension. In this study, we investigated the dose-response characteristics of IT clonidine, and whether a subeffective dose of clonidine could enhance the effect of SCS in nerve-injured rats with tactile hypersensitivity (allodynia). Results showed that clonidine, in doses of 1-20 microg, reduced the hypersensitivity in a dose-dependent manner. In rats in which SCS per se failed to suppress tactile hypersensitivity, the combination of SCS and a subeffective dose of clonidine appeared to be highly synergistic and markedly attenuated the hypersensitivity. These results suggest that small doses of IT clonidine may be combined with SCS in neuropathic pain patients who do not obtain satisfactory relief with SCS alone.
