Inkjet Printing of Colloidal Nanospheres: Engineering the Evaporation-Driven Self-Assembly Process to Form Defined Layer Morphologies (2015)

We report on inkjet printing of aqueous colloidal suspensions containing monodisperse silica and/or polystyrene nanosphere particles and a systematic study of the morphology of the deposits as a function of different parameters during inkjet printing and solvent evaporation. The colloidal suspensions act as a model ink for an understanding of layer formation processes and resulting morphologies in inkjet printing in general. We investigated the influence of the surface energy and the temperature of the substrate, the formulation of the suspensions, and the multi-pass printing aiming for layer stacks on the morphology of the deposits. We explain our findings with models of evaporation-driven self-assembly of the nanosphere particles in a liquid droplet and derive methods to direct the self-assembly processes into distinct one- and two-dimensional deposit morphologies.

On-line partial discharge monitoring system and data processing using WTST-NST filter for high voltage power cable (2009)

Defects inside insulation of HV XLPE cable accessories can lead to partial discharge (PD) activity. When PD activity happens, leakage current may flow through the grounded line. To acquire the PD current signal, one practicable and effective method is placing a high frequency current transformer (HFCT) winding the grounded line. In order to measure the insulation degradation, a partial discharge on-line monitoring system is developed and reported in this paper. Through the field test, the presented monitoring system is effective and available for power cable in the condition based maintenance (CBM). However, on-site partial discharger detection on XLPE cables and cable accessories are very difficult of variable noise interference, which gives much trouble to partial discharge detecting. This paper introduced an adaptive filter stationary-non stationary filter based on the wavelet transform (WTST-NST) to de-noise the stationary noise interference in partial discharge detecting. The proposed method is a wavelet domain filtering technique, based on the iterative multiresolution decomposition reconstruction (MRD-MRR) with hard threshold, for extracting PD signals from stationary interference noise. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the experimental results, while using the WTST-NST filter to PD signals recorded from power cables, prove that the ability to extract the PD from noise hidden in it.
Sequence ordered copoly(arylester‐carbonate)s: synthesis and characterization (1995)

Abstract A new class of ester‐carbonate monomers was prepared by reaction of monomethylcarbonate of bisphenol‐A with tere/isophthaloyl chloride. Self polycondensation of these monomers in presence of titanium tetraisopropoxide as catalyst resulted in the formation of copoly(arylester‐carbonate)s having an ester to carbonate ratio of 2: 1. Copoly(arylester‐carbonate)s rich in either carbonate groups were also prepared by copolymerization of ester‐carbonate monomer with dimethyl terephthalate and the bismethylcarbonate of bisphenol‐A. The polymer structure was established by 1 H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The ordered sequence of estercarbonate groups in the polymer was established by 13 C NMR spectroscopy.
Role of Resveratrol and its Analogues in the Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases: Focus on Recent Discoveries (2011)

Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of chronic, progressive disorders characterized by the gradual loss of neurons in several areas of the central nervous system (CNS). Substantial evidence has documented a common inflammatory mechanism in neurodegeneration. It is known that classical anti-inflammatory agents, steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, have not played a major role in the management of CNS inflammatory conditions. This may be partly due to the natural compartmentation of the brain by the blood-brain barrier. Thus, there is much interest in developing novel anti-inflammatory drugs that may help to prevent or ameliorate CNS inflammation. Resveratrol (RSV) has received considerable attention over the last several decades. Experimental studies have revealed its benefits in several human disease models, including cardio- and neuro-protection, immune regulation and cancer chemoprevention. The broad action spectrum of RSV is explained by the involvement of numerous signaling networks and cellular effector mechanisms. Among them, apoptotic and antioxidant targets have been implicated. Recently, also anti-neuroinflammatory activity has been observed. A number of studies demonstrated that RSV mediates the downregulation of various inflammatory biomarkers such as tumor necrosis factor, cyclooxygenase 2, inducible nitric oxide synthase and interleukins. This activity seems to depend on some structural features of RSV such as the number and the position of hydroxyl groups. In this review, a comprehensive account of multiple intracellular RSV targets involved in neuroinflammation and its analogues design will be treated, pointing to structure/activity relationships.
The Oxidation of Thiols by Flavoprotein Oxidases: a Biocatalytic Route to Reactive Thiocarbonyls (2014)

Flavoprotein oxidases are a diverse class of biocatalysts, most of which catalyze the oxidation of C-O, C-N, or C-C bonds. Flavoprotein oxidases that are known to catalyze the oxidation of C-S bonds are rare, being limited to enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of thioethers. Herein, we report that various flavoprotein oxidases, previously thought to solely act on alcohols, also catalyze the oxidation of thiols to thiocarbonyls. These results highlight the versatility of enzymatic catalysis and provide a potential biocatalytic route to reactive thiocarbonyl compounds, which have a variety of applications in synthetic organic chemistry.
Oligomers of cis-β-norbornene amino acid: Formation of β-strand mimetics (2006)

The oligomers of constrained cis-exo-beta-norbornene amino acid were synthesised and characterised by extensive NMR, CD, IR and MD studies. The results showed the formation of both right and left handed consecutive 6-membered hydrogen-bonded strands for [2S,3R] and [2R,3S] enantiomers, respectively.
QUANTITATIVE INVESTIGATIONS OF IDIOTYPIC ANTIBODIES (1972)

Antisera were prepared in rabbits against anti-p-azobenzoate antibodies of an A/J and a BALB/c mouse and anti-p-azophenylarsonate antibodies of an A/J mouse. After appropriate absorption the antisera reacted with the anti-hapten antibody of the donor mouse but, by sensitive quantitative tests, not at all with other components of the hyperimmune serum or with preimmune serum of the donor mouse. The absorbed antiserum therefore appeared to be specific for idiotypic determinants. Nearly all idiotypic specificities identified in the serum of the donor were also present in the serum of other mice of the same strain, immunized against the same hapten group, but not in mice immunized with a different hapten. In each case the antibodies of the donor mouse reacted most effectively on a weight basis with antiidiotypic antiserum. Cross-reactions were observed among different strains of mice but homologous anti-bodies reacted most effectively with antiidiotypic antisera. C57/BL and DBA antisera contained very low concentrations of specificities present in the A/J and BALB/c antibody populations; antibodies of A/J and BALB/c antisera are more closely related to one another. The results indicate that idiotypic specificity may provide a genetic marker for the variable regions of immunoglobulin polypeptide chains.
Coupled transmission lines as symmetrical directional couplers (1955)

If two similar unbalanced transmission lines are coupled together by sharing a common outer conductor for part of their length, so as to form a 3-conductor line, they constitute a symmetrical directional coupler. The output ratio of this varies sinusoidally with frequency, being greatest for lengths equal to an odd number of quarter-wavelengths; the characteristic impedance is independent of frequency, being determined by the cross-section of the 3-conductor line.Two forms of the directional coupler are described. One of these, intended for laboratory power measurement at frequencies up to 1 000Mc/s, consists of two parallel strips enclosed in a square-section outer conductor. The other, a very simple device for monitoring transmitter power, consists of two lead-covered coaxial cables grafted together.Among possible uses suggested are all-pass filters and applications to aerial systems consisting of two parts fed in phase quadrature.

Anomalies: Parimutuel Betting Markets: Racetracks and Lotteries (1988)

Economists have given great attention to stock markets in their efforts to test the concepts of market efficiency and rationality. Yet wagering markets are, in one key respect, better suited for testing market efficiency and rationality. The advantage of wagering markets is that each asset (bet) has a well-defined termination point at which its value becomes certain. The absence of this property is one of the factors that has made it so difficult to test for rationality in the stock market. Since a stock is infinitely lived, its value today depends both on the present value of future cash flows and on the price someone will pay for the security tomorrow. Indeed, one can argue that wagering markets have a better chance of being efficient because the conditions (quick, repeated feedback) are those which usually facilitate learning. However, empirical research has uncovered several interesting anomalies. While there are numerous types of wagering markets, legal and otherwise, this column will concentrate on racetrack betting and lotto-type lottery games.
New malignancy grading system for hepatocellular carcinoma using Sonazoid contrast enhanced ultrasonography (2009)

We investigated the clinical utility of a new grading system for malignant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a combination of two different contrast-enhanced ultrasonographic (CEUS) images. 33 patients with histologically confirmed 42 HCC nodules (well-differentiated, n=15; moderately-differentiated, n=23; poorly-differentiated, n=4) received CEUS. Kupffer phase and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) images were classified respectively by their patterns as follows: Kupffer images (i) hyper; (ii) iso; (iii) hypo; MIP findings (i) Fine; (ii) Vascular; (iii) Irregular. Based on the combination of these two images, they were classified into five grades. The correlation between this new and the histological grading showed that this new grading system could predict moderate- and poorly-differentiated HCC; iso-Fine 0%, iso-Vascular 50%, hypo-Fine 57%, hypo-Vascular 82%, Irregular 100%.

Experimentally validated computations of simultaneous ion and fast neutral energy and angular distributions in a capacitively coupled plasma reactor (2020)

Abstract Accurate predictions of the ion energy and angular distribution functions (IEADFs) and fast neutral energy and angular distribution functions (FNEADFs), are essential for a range of critical applications in the plasma processing of thin film etching and deposition. Computationally efficient methods that can be applied to industrial reactor systems that are also validated across a range of operating conditions are essential for prediction of IEADFs and FNEADFs. In this work, we present a hybrid model where a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) solution was computed using a fluid model and the IEADF/FNEADF was generated using a particle transport model with a multi-species Monte Carlo Collision model. We first compare the computed IEADFs across a range of pressures with experimental measurements for a CCP reactor. We predict FNEADFs that are typically difficult to measure experimentally but are believed to have a significant effect on etch/deposition process phenomena. Across a large pressure range, we observe significant fast neutral bombardment of the electrode surface with at least half the energy of the most energetic ions as well as an angular spread that is larger than that of the ions.

Identification of a Novel Transporter for Dicarboxylates and Tricarboxylates in Plant Mitochondria (2002)

A cDNA from Arabidopsis thaliana and four related cDNAs from Nicotiana tabacum that we have isolated encode hitherto unidentified members of the mitochondrial carrier family. These proteins have been overexpressed in bacteria and reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. Their transport properties demonstrate that they are orthologs/isoforms of a novel mitochondrial carrier capable of transporting both dicarboxylates (such as malate, oxaloacetate, oxoglutarate, and maleate) and tricarboxylates (such as citrate, isocitrate, cis-aconitate, and trans-aconitate). The newly identified dicarboxylate-tricarboxylate carrier accepts only the single protonated form of citrate (H-citrate2-) and the unprotonated form of malate (malate2-) and catalyzes obligatory, electroneutral exchanges. Oxoglutarate, citrate, and malate are mutually competitive inhibitors, showing K(i) close to the respective K(m). The carrier is expressed in all plant tissues examined and is largely spread in the plant kingdom. Furthermore, nitrate supply to nitrogen-starved tobacco plants leads to an increase in its mRNA in roots and leaves. The dicarboxylate-tricarboxylate carrier may play a role in important plant metabolic functions requiring organic acid flux to or from the mitochondria, such as nitrogen assimilation, export of reducing equivalents from the mitochondria, and fatty acid elongation.
Recognition and reasoning in an awareness support system for generation of storyboard-like views of recent activity (1999)

Awareness support system are based on formal and specific context information such as location, or on video-mediated general context information such asa view into a remote office. We propose a new approach based on fusion of these different kinds of context information. In this approach we distinguish white box context, used by the awareness system for reasoning, and black box context, which can only be interpreted by humans. Our approach uses a variety of perception techniques to obtain white box context from audio and video streams. White box context is then used for further processing of context information, for instance to derive additional context. It is further used to generate a storyboard-like multimedia representation of collected and extracted context information. This storyboard provides a condensed view of recent activity to collaboration partners.
CD8 T Cells Activated in Distinct Lymphoid Organs Differentially Express Adhesion Proteins and Coexpress Multiple Chemokine Receptors (2010)

Previous work from this laboratory showed that generation of memory CD8 T cells by different immunization routes correlates with control of tumors growing in distinct sites. We hypothesized that effector CD8 T cell expression of adhesion proteins and chemokine receptors would be influenced by activation in different secondary lymphoid organs. In this report, CD8 T cells were activated by immunization with bone marrow-derived dendritic cells via i.p., i.v., or s.c. routes. Three distinct populations of activated CD8 T cells arise in mesenteric, axillary/brachial, and mediastinal lymph nodes and spleen based on differential expression of alpha4beta7 integrin, E-selectin ligand, and alpha4beta1 integrin, respectively. In contrast, three subsets of CD8 T cells defined by differential expression of P-selectin ligand and chemokine receptors were induced irrespective of activation site. The majority of activated CD8 T cells expressed CXCR3, with one subset additionally expressing P-selectin ligand, and another subset additionally expressing CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR6, and CCR9. In the mesenteric lymph node, a fourth subset expressed CCR9 and CXCR3 in the absence of CCR5. Similar homing receptor profiles were induced in the same sites after localized vaccinia immunization. Homing receptor expression on CD8 T cells activated in vitro was distinct, revealing influences of both dendritic cells and the lymphoid microenvironment. Collectively, these results identify previously undescribed populations of activated CD8 T cells based on adhesion protein expression and coexpression of chemokine receptors that arise after activation in distinct secondary lymphoid organs.
Bilateral Common Carotid Artery Occlusion as an Adequate Preconditioning Stimulus to Induce Early Ischemic Tolerance to Focal Cerebral Ischemia (2013)

There is accumulating evidence, that ischemic preconditioning - a non-damaging ischemic challenge to the brain - confers a transient protection to a subsequent damaging ischemic insult. We have established bilateral common carotid artery occlusion as a preconditioning stimulus to induce early ischemic tolerance to transient focal cerebral ischemia in C57Bl6/J mice. In this video, we will demonstrate the methodology used for this study.
DNA Repair and Tumorigenesis: Lessons from Hereditary Cancer Syndromes (2002)

The discovery that alterations of the DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) were linked to the common human cancer susceptibility syndrome hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) resulted in the declaration of a third class of genes involved in tumor development. In addition to oncogenes and tumor suppressors, alterations of DNA repair genes involved in maintaining genomic stability were found to be a clear cause of tum the level of the single nucleotides or chromosomes. This observation suggested that the establishment of genomic instability, termed the Mutator Phenotype, was an important aspect of tumor development.(1,2) Since the initial identification of the human MutS homolog hMSH2 nearly a decade ago,(3,4) more links have been described between human cancers and genes involved in maintaining genomic stability. Work in recent years has revealed that DNA repair proteins may also function in signaling pathways that provoke cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This review will focus on the genetic and biochemical functions of DNA repair genes linked to hereditary cancer predisposition characterized by genomic instability (Table 1). Interestingly, the protein products of these genes have been directly or indirectly linked to the DNA damage-induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We conclude that a robust connection between DNA repair proteins and damage-induced apoptosis may be as important for tumorigenesis as their role in maintaining genome stability.
Glutathione contributes to plant defense against parasitic cyst nematodes (2021)

Abstract Cyst nematodes (CNs) are an important group of root-infecting sedentary endoparasites that severely damage many crop plants worldwide. An infective CN juvenile enters the host’s roots and migrates towards the vascular cylinder, where it induces the formation of syncytial feeding cells, which nourish the CN throughout its parasitic stages. Here, we examined the role of glutathione (L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, GSH) in Arabidopsis thaliana upon infection with the CN Heterodera schachtii . Arabidopsis lines with mutations pad2, cad2 , or zir1 in the glutamate–cysteine ligase ( GSH1 ) gene, which encodes the first enzyme in the glutathione biosynthetic pathway, displayed enhanced CN susceptibility, but susceptibility was reduced for rax1 , another GSH1 allele. Biochemical analysis revealed differentially altered thiol levels in these mutants that was independent of nematode infection. All GSH-deficient mutants exhibited impaired activation of defense marker genes as well as genes for biosynthesis of the antimicrobial compound camalexin early in infection. Further analysis revealed a link between glutathione-mediated plant susceptibility to CN infection and the production of camalexin upon nematode infection. These results suggest that GSH levels affects plant susceptibility to CN by fine-tuning the balance between the cellular redox environment and the production of compounds related to defense against infection.
Neodymium‐Based Stoichiometric Ultrasmall Nanoparticles for Multifunctional Deep‐Tissue Photothermal Therapy (2016)

Nanoparticle‐mediated photothermal therapy (NP‐PTT) constitutes a flexible, highly selective, cost effective, and accurate tool for cancer treatment alone or in combination with other therapies such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The future application of NP‐PTT in real life mainly depends on the design and synthesis of novel multifunctional nanoparticles that could overcome the current limitations of NP‐PTT such as limited penetration depth and absence of therapy control. In this work, ultrasmall (≈2.4 nm) NdVO 4 stoichiometric (100% constituent Nd 3+ ions) nanoparticles are reported, which are capable of in vivo sub‐tissue localized heating under 808 nm optical excitation while providing, simultaneously, the possibility of high penetration near‐infrared fluorescence imaging. Ultrasmall stoichiometric NdVO 4 nanoparticles have evidenced a superior light‐to‐heat conversion efficiency. This is explained in terms of their large absorption cross‐section at 808 nm (consequence of the particular spectroscopic properties of neodymium ions in NdVO 4 and of the high neodymium content) as well as to their ultrasmall size that leads to large nonradiative decay rates. Results included in this work introduce ultrasmall, NdVO 4 stoichiometric nanoparticles to the scientific community as multifunctional photothermal agents that could be considered as an alternative to traditional systems such as metallic, organic, or carbon‐based nanoparticles.
