INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR PERSONAL TRIP (1993)

This paper describes a personal trip information system, implemented on a lap top type personal computer. The basic function is to display the current position of the user. The system provides two modes: pedestrian and public transportation. In the pedestrian mode, the current position is calculated using the estimated walking speed and user's interaction at intersections. In the public transportation mode, time tables and current time is used to predict the position on the route of each transportation system.
Contact Stability Analysis on Some Impedance Control Methods. (1994)

This paper aims at the analysis of the contact stability of impedance control implemented to a robot manipulator. It is important for next generation robots to realize compliant motion to environment. Impedance control is one of the compliance control methods. However, there are still contact stability problems that the control system is unstable when the robot arm implemented with impedance control contacts to a stiff environment. In this paper, two methods of impedance control, Hogan's method and acceleration feedback method, are analyzed on the contact stability influenced with the locations of sensor and actuator. The target impedance, and modeling error are also considered.
IgE antibodies of fish allergic patients cross‐react with frog parvalbumin (2004)

Cod parvalbumin, a major cross-reactive allergen among different fish species, shares IgE binding epitopes with frog parvalbumin. This in vitro cross-reactivity seems to be also clinically relevant. Parvalbumins probably represent a new family of cross-reactive allergens.
Electrophysiology study for risk stratification in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and abnormal cardiac imaging (2019)

EPS may help with risk stratification in patients with CS and abnormal imaging, especially those without conventional indications for ICD placement. Among patients with LVEF >35% and no history of prior VA, a negative EPS has good positive and negative predictive value for future VA events.
Lean body mass‐adjusted Cockcroft and Gault formula improves the estimation of glomerular filtration rate in subjects with normal‐range serum creatinine (2006)

The lean body mass-adjusted Cockcroft-Gault formula was the closest to measured GFR but is not accurate enough to replace radionuclide GFR measurement. Prediction formulae should be adjusted for LBM to improve GFR estimation.
Standardized Gasoline Compression Ignition Fuels Matrix (2018)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Direct injection compression ignition engines running on gasoline-like fuels have been considered an attractive alternative to traditional spark ignition and diesel engines. The compression and lean combustion mode eliminates throttle losses yielding higher thermodynamic efficiencies and the better mixing of fuel/air due to the longer ignition delay times of the gasoline-like fuels allows better emission performance such as nitric oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). These gasoline-like fuels which usually have lower octane compared to market gasoline have been identified as a viable option for the gasoline compression ignition (GCI) engine applications due to its lower reactivity and lighter evaporation compared to diesel. The properties, specifications and sources of these GCI fuels are not fully understood yet because this technology is relatively new. In this work, a GCI fuel matrix is being developed based on the significance of certain physical and chemical properties in GCI engine operation. Those properties were chosen to be density, temperature at 90 volume % evaporation (T90) or final boiling point (FBP) and research octane number (RON) and the ranges of these properties were determined from the data reported in literature. These proposed fuels were theoretically formulated, while applying realistic constraints, using species present in real refinery streams. Finally, three-dimensional (3D) engine computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed using the proposed GCI fuels and the similarities and differences were highlighted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Purely CMOS angular position sensor based on a new hall microchip (2008)

This paper presents a new technique to sense the direction of the magnetic field, enabling a new generation of contactless 360deg absolute angle encoders. The sensor consists of a microchip that contains a special ring-shaped Hall element. It is the first sensor that gives the angle value without the need of computing an arctan function. In addition, we demonstrate that this system is compatible with a self calibration method. Measurements were performed with the microchip operating inside a hollow permanent magnet and an accuracy of 0.1deg was obtained without calibration.
Inhibition of indole production increases the activity of quinolone antibiotics against E. coli persisters (2020)

Persisters are a sub-population of genetically sensitive bacteria that survive antibiotic treatment by entering a dormant state. The emergence of persisters from dormancy after antibiotic withdrawal leads to recurrent infection. Indole is an aromatic molecule with diverse signalling roles, including a role in persister formation. Here we demonstrate that indole stimulates the formation of Escherichia coli persisters against quinolone antibiotics which target the GyrA subunit of DNA gyrase. However, indole has no effect on the formation of E. coli persisters against an aminocoumarin, novobiocin, which targets the GyrB subunit of DNA gyrase. Two modes of indole signalling have been described: persistent and pulse. The latter refers to the brief but intense elevation of intracellular indole during stationary phase entry. We show that the stimulation of quinolone persisters is due to indole pulse, rather than persistent, signalling. In silico docking of indole on DNA gyrase predicts that indole docks perfectly to the ATP binding site of the GyrB subunit. We propose that the inhibition of indole production offers a potential route to enhance the activity of quinolones against E. coli persisters.

A New Data Driven Long-Term Solar Yield Analysis Model of Photovoltaic Power Plants (2020)

Historical data offers a wealth of knowledge to the users. However, often restrictively mammoth that the information cannot be fully extracted, synthesized, and analyzed efficiently for an application such as the forecasting of variable generator outputs. Moreover, the accuracy of the prediction method is vital. Therefore, a trade-off between accuracy and efficacy is required for the data-driven energy forecasting method. It has been identified that the hybrid approach may outperform the individual technique in minimizing the error while challenging to synthesize. A hybrid deep learning-based method is proposed for the output prediction of the solar photovoltaic systems (i.e. proposed PV system) in Australia to obtain the trade-off between accuracy and efficacy. The historical dataset from 1990-2013 in Australian locations (e.g. North Queensland) are used to train the model. The model is developed using the combination of multivariate long and short-term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed hybrid deep learning (LSTM-CNN) is compared with the existing neural network ensemble (NNE), random forest, statistical analysis, and artificial neural network (ANN) based techniques to assess the performance. The proposed model could be useful for generation planning and reserve estimation in power systems with high penetration of solar photovoltaics (PVs) or other renewable energy sources (RESs).

Sturgeon rivers: An introduction to acipenseriform biogeography and life history (2005)

We present an overview of the global distribution of all 27 living species of Acipenseriformes in an attempt to understand their biogeographic history and the range of life history patterns displayed by different species. Our biogeographic analysis (based on the most recent phylogenetic analysis including fossil Acipenseriformes) suggests that Acipenseriformes originated in Europe, and that early diversification took place in Asia. Acipenseriformes do not have a common life history; variation within and between species is the rule rather than exception. The few relatively well-known case studies (e.g., Caspian Sea sturgeons, European Atlantic sturgeons in the Gironde system, and shortnose and North American Atlantic sturgeons in rivers of the east coast of America) greatly influence what we think we know about sturgeon biology. Our present level of phylogenetic understanding does not allow us to determine whether anadromy or potamodromy is the plesiomorphic life history pattern for Acipenseriformes. We propose that rivers in which spawning occurs must be the central unit for biogeographic analysis of living Acipenseriformes. After mapping these rivers, we recognized nine biogeographic provinces for acipenseriforms. Some repeated historical patterns emerge from this analysis, but, again, we are limited by our current understanding of phylogenetic relationships within the genus Acipenser in particular. Distribution and biogeographic data are central to deciding where to make new efforts to update existing status information for acipenseriform species. We single out a widely ranging and highly variable species, Acipenser ruthenus, as particularly intriguing, for it spans three of our nine biogeographic provinces, and apparently has different life history patterns in different river systems. Finally, we note new areas in need of basic research, particularly the need for more detailed descriptions and analyses of life histories of different populations of sturgeons.
Endometriosis Treatment: Nanoparticle‐Based Platform for Activatable Fluorescence Imaging and Photothermal Ablation of Endometriosis (Small 18/2020) (2020)

In article number 1906936, Ov D. Slayden, Oleh Taratula, and co-workers present a nanomedicine approach for endometriosis treatment. Photo-responsive nanoparticles concurrently delineate and ablate endometriosis tissue xenografts in mice employing real-time fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy. Following intravenous injection, nanoparticles activate their fluorescence in endometriotic lesions. Excitation by near-infrared light produces heat within endometriotic tissues, resulting in their complete eradication. This approach could aid surgeons in identifying and eliminating endometriosis.
Akinetic myocardial infarcts must contain contracting myocytes: finite-element model study (2004)

Infarcted segments of myocardium demonstrate functional impairment ranging in severity from hypokinesis to dyskinesis. We sought to better define the contributions of passive material properties (stiffness) and active properties (contracting myocytes) to infarct thickening. Using a finite-element (FE) model, we tested the hypothesis that infarcted myocardium must contain contracting myocytes to be akinetic and not dyskinetic. A three-dimensional FE mesh of the left ventricle was developed with echocardiographs from a reperfused ovine anteroapical infarct. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship for the diastolic myocardium was anisotropic with respect to the local muscle fiber direction, and an elastance model for active fiber stress was incorporated. The diastolic stiffness (C) and systolic material property (isometric tension at longest sarcomere length and peak intracellular calcium concentration, T(max)) of the uninfarcted remote myocardium were assumed to be normal (C = 0.876 kPa, T(max) = 135.7 kPa). Diastolic and systolic properties of the infarct necessary to produce akinesis, defined as an average radial strain between -0.01 and 0.01, were determined by assigning a range of diastolic stiffnesses and scaling infarct T(max) to represent the percentage of contracting myocytes between 0% and 100%. As C was increased to 11 times normal (C = 10 kPa) the percentage of T(max) necessary for akinesis increased from 20% to 50%. Without contracting myocytes, C = 250 kPa was necessary to achieve akinesis. If infarct stiffness is <285 times normal, contracting myocytes are required to prevent dyskinetic infarct wall motion.
The moral basis of medicine: why ‘do no harm’? (1998)

The literature on iatrogenic illness is replete with references to the Hippocratic injunction against harming patients. The cardinal tenet, of medicine, says R. L. Kane is primum non nocere. R. P. Ferguson observes that, ‘The sense of nonmaleficence goes back to the oath of Hippocrates and is, of course, encapsulated in our quintessential maxim: first do no harm’. In a study on the ‘frequency and morbidity of invasive procedures’, Schroeder, et al. advise that, ‘The stricture that physicians first, do not harm mandates scrupulous avoidance of procedures in which possible results do not justify risks involved’. Walco et al., in a recent paper on ‘The ethics of pain control in infants and children’ state that ‘The fundamental principle of responsible medical care is … do no harm’. Despite its almost universal endorsement, we have seen that the obligation to do no harm has been interpreted relative to historical circumstance and the value commitments of individuals and institutions. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries we saw the obligation strained by the professionalization of medicine. In many ways, the physician's loyalty was divided between preventing harm to the profession and preventing harm to the patient. This tension was induced and exacerbated by key institutions – medical schools, hospitals, and the American Medical Association (AMA). Also during this period, the grounding of medical epistemology in experimental science served to divert attention from the patient's particularity to the more general manifestations of disease.
Gender Differences in Gluteus Medius Muscle Activity Exist in Soccer Players Performing a Forward Jump (2007)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate gender differences in muscle activity while landing from a forward jump. Eight male and 8 female division-one varsity soccer athletes participated in this study. Subjects performed five trials of a 100 cm forward jump single leg landing. Surface electromyography (EMG) was collected at the gluteus medius, vastus lateralis, lateral hamstring, and medial gastrocnemius. Data were interpreted by VICON workstation and analyzed with Acknowledge software. Average root mean square of 200 ms following initial heel contact from landing were normalized to static one-leg stance and used in data analysis. A fixed-effect multivariate analysis of variance showed average gluteus medius activity was significantly higher in males (7.16 +/- 3.16) than in females (2.62 +/- 0.95). There were no differences between genders for any of the other muscles collected. Gender-specific neuromuscular strategies used to attenuate the forces of landing may involve more gluteus medius muscle activity in males than in females.
Phosphorus‐Bearing Axially Chiral Biaryls by Catalytic Asymmetric Cross‐Cyclotrimerization and a First Application in Asymmetric Hydrosilylation (2006)

A novel and efficient, two-step route to axially chiral biaryls is demonstrated. In a direct asymmetric cross-cyclotrimerization in the presence of a chiral cobalt(I) catalyst, axially chiral biaryls bearing phosphoryl moieties have been prepared, and through indirect evidence the authors have been able to clarify the origin of the stereochemical induction and the nature of the central intermediate in the catalytic cycle. By subsequent reduction of the phosphoryl moiety to the corresponding phosphine, a very efficient and atom-economical approach to chiral systems has been developed. These chiral systems clearly have great potential use as axially chiral monodentate P- or bidentate P,O-ligands, as has been demonstrated by the employment of the novel NAPHEP as a new monodentate acting ligand in an asymmetric hydrosilylation reaction.
Inclusive design: making packaging easier to open for all (2004)

Social equality demands a shift in attitude, away from treating older people and people with disabilities as special cases requiring special design solutions, and towards enabling them to have equal access to any product or service through a more inclusive approach to the design of buildings, public spaces and, more recently, products and services. This is not just important for social equality but also for business growth through new products and services and through creating wider potential markets. Consumer packaging is a field in which many people, including young able bodied people, often struggle in relation to openability. Until now, the main thrust of inclusive design in the consumer packaging field has been driven by art and design disciplines, focusing on the shape and ergonomics of the packaging or cognitive solutions in order to make them easier to open. This approach does not always work first time and a time consuming, materially expensive trial and error process often ensues. This paper outlines all the arguments for inclusive design, stressing the importance for both consumers and business. This paper also outlines an engineering design approach for inclusive design that uses real human factors as design limits, resulting in packaging that will be easily opened by all it’s end users without the expensive trial and error approach that has been used up to this point in time. The example of the Roll-On-Pilfer-Proof (ROPP) closure system is used in this paper.
Miniaturized Fourier-plane fiber scanner for OCT endoscopy (2017)

A forward-looking endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) probe featuring a Fourier-plane fiber scanner is designed, manufactured and characterized. In contrast to common image-plane fiber scanners, the Fourier-plane scanner is a telecentric arrangement that eliminates vignetting and spatial resolution variations across the image plane. To scan the OCT beam in a spiral pattern, a tubular piezoelectric actuator is used to resonate an optical fiber bearing a collimating GRIN lens at its tip. The free-end of the GRIN lens sits at the back focal plane of an objective lens, such that its rotation replicates the beam angles in the collimated region of a classical telecentric 4f optical system. Such an optical arrangement inherently has a low numerical aperture combined with a relatively large field-of-view, rendering it particularly useful for endoscopic OCT imaging. Furthermore, the optical train of the Fourier-plane scanner is shorter than that of a comparable image-plane scanner by one focal length of the objective lens, significantly shortening the final arrangement. As a result, enclosed within a 3D printed housing of 2.5 mm outer diameter and 15 mm total length, the developed probe is the most compact forward-looking endoscopic OCT imager to date. Due to its compact form factor and compatibility with real-time OCT imaging, the developed probe is also ideal for use in the working channel of flexible endoscopes as a potential optical biopsy tool.
Formulation and in-vitro evaluation of self microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of Furosemide (2010)

Aim of the present investigation was to develop the Self Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System (SMEDDS) of Furosemide. Furosemide is Class IV molecule according to BCS (Biopharmaceutical Classification System), having low solubility and low permeability. Prepared optimized SMEDDS of Furosemide composed of CAPTEX 500 as oil and Cremophore EL as surfactant in 20:80 ratio. Optimized SMEDDS of Furosemide showed increase in dissolution rate of Furosemide in Simulated Gastric Fluid (SGF) and 5.8 pH phosphate buffer, irrespective of pH compared the Marketed Tablet LASIX O (Furosemide 40 mg)
A Dual‐Response Fluorescent Probe Reveals the H2O2‐Induced H2S Biogenesis through a Cystathionine β‐Synthase Pathway (2015)

The two signaling molecules H2 S and H2 O2 play key roles in maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis. The biological relationship between H2 O2 and H2 S remains largely unknown in redox biology. In this study, we rationally designed and synthesized single- and dual-response fluorescent probes for detecting both H2 O2 and H2 S in living cells. The dual-response probe was shown to be capable of mono- and dual-detection of H2 O2 and H2 S selectively and sensitively. Detailed bioimaging studies based on the probes revealed that both exogenous and endogenous H2 O2 could induce H2 S biogenesis in living cells. By using gene-knockdown techniques with bioimaging, the H2 S biogenesis was found to be majorly cystathionine β-synthase (CBS)-dependent. Our finding shows the first direct evidence on the biological communication between H2 O2 (ROS) and H2 S (RSS) in vivo.
