Effect of MON 12037 on the Growth and Tuber Viability of Purple Nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) (1999)

A field study was conducted in 1994 and 1995 to determine the efficacy of MON 12037 on purple nutsedge in a bermudagrass turf. The percentage of bermudagrass infested with purple nutsedge following a single application of MON 12037 decreased from 60 to 30% at 18 g ai/ha and to approximately 20% at 36, 54, and 72 g/ha. Regrowth of purple nutsedge occurred between 28 and 55 d after treatment (DAT) and was greatest at 18 g/ha. A second application of MON 12037 reduced purple nutsedge percent infestation similarly to one application. Tuber weight and number were not affected by either one or two applications of MON 12037; however, tuber viability decreased after two applications. These results suggest that when using MON 12037, a program of several years duration may be required to successfully manage purple nutsedge in a bermudagrass turf because viable tubers persist following two applications of MON 12037 in a season.
Antigens of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans recognized by patients with juvenile periodontitis and periodontally normal subjects (1991)

Most juvenile periodontitis patients respond to infection by Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans by producing serum antibodies. Specific antigens inducing the humoral immune response have not been identified, nor has the role of the resulting antibodies in disease progression been determined. Adsorbed and unadsorbed sera from juvenile periodontitis patients and normal subjects were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blots (immunoblots), using digested and undigested bacterial sonicates and French pressure cell fractions to determine the biochemical class, cross-reactivity, and cellular location of the antigens in different A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes. Antigens detected by using high-titer sera included the following: (i) serotype-specific nonprotein material located on the cell surface, (ii) soluble-fraction proteins showing highly variable antibody binding, (iii) cross-reactive proteins, and (iv) a protein present in soluble and cell wall fractions and immunopositive for all sera tested. In addition, one apparently nonprotein component that was enriched in the cell wall fraction was observed. Sera with high immunoglobulin G titers to one, two, three, or none of the three A. actinomycetemcomitans serotypes were observed. There was a high degree of variation from one patient to another in the humoral immune response to serotype-specific and cross-reactive antigens. As demonstrated by whole-cell adsorption experiments, the serotype-specific surface antigen accounted for approximately 72 to 90% of the total antibody-binding activity for sera with titers greater than 100-fold above background, while cross-reactive antigen accounted for less than 28%. Antibody binding the whole-cell sonicate for high-titer sera was inhibited 90% by lipopolysaccharide from the same serotype, strongly suggesting that lipopolysaccharide is the immunodominant antigen class.
Using SMART Magnetic Fluids and Gels for Prevention and Destruction of Bacterial Biofilms (2023)

Biofouling is a major problem in all natural and artificial settings where solid surfaces meet liquids in the presence of living microorganisms. Microbes attach to the surface and form a multidimensional slime that protects them from unfavorable environments. These structures, known as biofilms, are detrimental and very hard to remove. Here, we used SMART magnetic fluids [ferrofluids (FFs), magnetorheological fluids (MRFs), and ferrogels (FGs) containing iron oxide nano/microparticles] and magnetic fields to remove bacterial biofilms from culture tubes, glass slides, multiwell plates, flow cells, and catheters. We compared the ability of different SMART fluids to remove biofilms and found that commercially available, as well as homemade, FFs, MRFs, and FGs can successfully remove biofilm more efficiently than traditional mechanical methods, especially from textured surfaces. In tested conditions, SMARTFs reduced bacterial biofilms by five orders of magnitude. The ability to remove biofilm increased with the amount of magnetic particles; therefore, MRFs, FG, and homemade FFs with high amounts of iron oxide were the most efficient. We showed also that SMART fluid deposition can protect a surface from bacterial attachment and biofilm formation. Possible applications of these technologies are discussed.

Compiler and runtime support for predictive control of power and cooling (2006)

The low cost of clusters built using commodity components has made it possible for many more users to purchase their own supercomputer. However, even modest-sized clusters make significant demands on the power and cooling infrastructure. Minimizing impact of problems after they are detected is not as effective as avoiding problems altogether. This paper is about achieving the best system performance by predicting and avoiding power and cooling problems. Although measuring power and thermal properties of a code is not trivial, the primary issue is making predictions sufficiently in advance so that they can be used to drive predictive, rather than just reactive control at runtime. This paper presents new compiler analysis supporting interprocedural power prediction and a variety of other compiler and runtime technologies making feed-forward control feasible. The techniques apply to most computer systems, but some properties specific to clusters and parallel supercomputing are used where appropriate.
SAR study of drimane sesquiterpenes from three Cinnamosma species of Madagascar (2014)

C. macrocarpa and C. madagascariensis and C. fragrans (Cannelaceae) are endemic medicinal plants of Madagascar widely prescribed for many ailments. Our previous study demonstrated that their major drimane-type sesquiterpene constituents: capsicodendrin (1) and cinnamodial (2) display potent antiproliferative activity against murine leukemia (L1210/0, IC50 1.21, 0.58µM, respectively) and two human T-lymphocyte cell lines (Molt4/C8, IC50 0.94, 1.51µM, respectively and CEM/0, IC50 0.86, 1.61µM, respectively). To complete the bioactivity data of these compounds, we have recently evaluated compounds 1 and 2 together with other sesquiterpene-type drimanes isolated from the three plants and their chemical derivatives, against colon (HT-29), breast (MCF-7) and HeLa cancer cell lines. Our results showed that 1 and 2 together with cinnamosmolide (3) displayed strong antiproliferative activity against colon cancer (HT-29) cell line with IC50 values ranging from 0.64, 0.6 and 0.9µM, respectively. Several derivatives have been prepared for structure-antiproliferative study and the SAR of the natural products and their derivatives will be presented.
Predicting Treatment Choice for Patients With Pelvic Organ Prolapse (2003)

In Brief OBJECTIVE To evaluate which clinical factors were predictive of treatment choice for patients with pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS One hundred fifty-two patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study to collect clinical data on potential predictors of treatment choice. Continuous parametric, continuous nonparametric (ordinal), and categoric data were compared with chosen management plan (expectant, pessary, surgery) using analysis of variance, the Kruskal–Wallis test, and the χ2 test for association, respectively. All significant predictors (P < .05) of treatment choice for pelvic organ prolapse identified during univariate analysis were entered into a backward elimination polytomous logistic regression analysis for predicting surgery versus pessary versus expectant management, with surgery as the reference group. RESULTS The probability of choosing expectant management rather than surgery 1) increases as the preoperative pelvic pain score increases (odds ratio [OR] 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07, 2.40; P = .024) and 2) decreases as the prolapse severity increases (OR 0.46; 95% CI 0.29, 0.72; P = .001). The probability of choosing pessary rather than surgery 1) increases as age increases (OR 1.1; 95% CI 1.05, 1.16; P < .001), 2) decreases as the prolapse severity increases (OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.60, 0.99; P = .042), and 3) is less if the participant had prior prolapse surgery (OR 0.23; 95% CI 0.07, 0.76; P = .017). CONCLUSION Age, prior prolapse surgery, preoperative pelvic pain scores, and pelvic organ prolapse severity were independently associated with treatment choices in a predictable way and provide physicians with medical evidence necessary to support a patient's decision. Age, prior prolapse surgery, preoperative pelvic pain scores, and pelvic organ prolapse severity are independently associated with treatment choice in a predictable way.
Differential Exposure of Surface Epitopes in the β-Strand Region of LOOP1 of the Yeast H+-ATPase during Catalysis (1998)

The plasma membrane H+-ATPase of yeast assumes distinct conformational states during its catalytic cycle. To better understand structural changes in the LOOP1 domain, a catalytically important cytoplasmic loop segment linking transmembrane segments 2 and 3, surface epitopes were examined at different stages of catalysis. A polyclonal rabbit antibody was prepared to a fusion protein consisting of LOOP1 and the maltose binding protein. This antibody was affinity-purified to produce a LOOP1-specific fraction that could be used in competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to assess surface exposure of the LOOP1 epitopes. It was found that in an E1 conformation stabilized with either adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma -imino)triphosphate (AMP-PNP) or ADP, less than 10% of the LOOP1 epitopes were accessible on native enzyme. However, when the enzyme was stabilized in an E2-state with ATP plus vanadate, approximately 40% of the surface epitopes on LOOP1 became accessible to antibody. The remaining 60% of the LOOP1 epitopes were fully occluded in the native enzyme and never showed surface exposure. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays utilizing fusion proteins consisting of LOOP1 subdomains demonstrated that all of the available epitopes were contained in the beta-strand region (Glu-195-- Val-267) of LOOP1. The epitopes that were differentially exposed during catalysis were included in regions upstream and downstream of the highly conserved TGES sequence. Our results suggest that during catalysis either the beta-strand region of LOOP1 or an interacting domain undergoes substantial structural rearrangement that facilitates epitope exposure.
The IL-6/JAK/Stat3 Feed-Forward Loop Drives Tumorigenesis and Metastasis (2013)

We have investigated the importance of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in promoting tumor growth and metastasis. In human primary breast cancers, increased levels of IL-6 were found at the tumor leading edge and positively correlated with advanced stage, suggesting a mechanistic link between tumor cell production of IL-6 and invasion. In support of this hypothesis, we showed that the IL-6/Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) pathway drives tumor progression through the stroma and metastatic niche. Overexpression of IL-6 in tumor cell lines promoted myeloid cell recruitment, angiogenesis, and induced metastases. We demonstrated the therapeutic potential of interrupting this pathway with IL-6 receptor blockade or by inhibiting its downstream effectors JAK1/2 or Stat3. These clinically relevant interventions did not inhibit tumor cell proliferation in vitro but had profound effects in vivo on tumor progression, interfering broadly with tumor-supportive stromal functions, including angiogenesis, fibroblast infiltration, and myeloid suppressor cell recruitment in both the tumor and pre-metastatic niche. This study provides the first evidence for IL-6 expression at the leading edge of invasive human breast tumors and demonstrates mechanistically that IL-6/JAK/Stat3 signaling plays a critical and pharmacologically targetable role in orchestrating the composition of the tumor microenvironment that promotes growth, invasion, and metastasis.

Fiber Optic Networks for Distributed Radio Architectures: FUTON Concept and Operation (2010)

The growing importance of wireless communications has been driving the research and development of advanced network architectures to enable the cost-effective support of large numbers of users at very high data rates. In this context, the FUTON project aims to fulfil the objectives of the so-called 4th Generation (4G) wireless communications through an innovative Distributed Antenna System (DAS) with centralized signal processing. An overview of the FUTON concept is presented in this paper, with emphasis on the optical link design for radio-over-fiber communication providing the virtual-MIMO functionalities between multiple remote antenna units with a centralized processing site. Also, the units being fabricated for the final demonstration are described, and some preliminary measurements are presented.
Serving up Data for Enhanced DTV Programs (2001)

An important feature of digital television (DTV) is the ability to insert data into the broadcast stream to enhance television programming. Examples of applications enabled by this technology include interactive ads, interactive access to sports statistics during sports events, and interactive access to supplementary information during talk shows, news programs, documentaries, etc. This paper describes the basic technology for such enhanced DTV programming, and analyzes the architectural and scheduling issues that arise in connection with inserting data into the digital broadcast stream to support it. The primary focus is on so-called ATVEF (Advanced Television Enhancement Forum) applications in the context of the ATSC digital television standards, but most of the analysis applies equally well to other forms of enhanced DTV programming where data must be coordinated with the audio-video.
200 Improving efficiency of embryo transfer (ET) programs by optimizing fertility and management of recipients (2019)

Abstract Multiple experiments were performed to optimize efficiency and fertility in recipients of fresh in vitro produced (IVP) embryos. In experiment 1, heifers (n = 520) were synchronized and received an embryo on d 6–8 after estrus or 6–8 d after GnRH in a fixed time ET (FTET) program using modified 5-d CIDR-Synch protocol (d-8: CIDR inserted; d-3: CIDR removed and PGF2α treatment; d-2: second PGF2α; d0: GnRH to induce ovulation). Pregnancy per ET (P/ET) at d 32 and d 60 were similar but pregnancy per treated potential recipient (efficiency of recipient utilization) was greater for FTET than estrus (+49.7%). Subsequent experiments sought to optimize FTET protocol by analyzing whether CIDRs could be used multiple times (up to 4 uses similar P/ET) and whether multiple PGF2α treatments were needed at end of program (no difference when no GnRH given at start of protocol). Thus, a simple, inexpensive FTET program has similar fertility as ET after estrus but is more efficient at recipient utilization. A large retrospective analysis (n = 12,569 ET) was performed using FTET program. Embryo stage and quality were major embryo factors impacting P/ET. Transfer of d 7 fresh embryo to d 7 or d 8 recipient was better than d 6 (+24.4%). Two experiments (GnRH or CIDR treatment) evaluated increasing circulating P4. In GnRH experiment, heifers (n = 1,562) on d5 received GnRH (200 μg) or Control (untreated). On D12, P4 was greater (P &lt; 0.001) in GnRH-treated (7.2 ± 0.1ng/ml) vs Controls (6.0 ± 0.1ng/ml). There was greater P/ET at D33 and D60 of pregnancy for Stage 7 than 6 embryos. Treatment with GnRH did not alter P/ET but decreased pregnancy loss between D33 and D60 in heifers receiving Stage 7 embryos (11.6 vs 27.6% in recipients with accessory CL on d 33). In CIDR experiment, treatment with 2 CIDRs (from d 13; one new CIDR each 7 d) elevated circulating P4 and tended to decrease pregnancy loss (d 27 to 62; 25.9 vs 11.9%) and increase P/ET (40.4 vs 53.6% on d 62). Thus, elevating P4 decreased pregnancy loss during FTET program using fresh IVP embryos.

A Parametric Top-View Representation of Complex Road Scenes (2018)

In this paper, we address the problem of inferring the layout of complex road scenes given a single camera as input. To achieve that, we first propose a novel parameterized model of road layouts in a top-view representation, which is not only intuitive for human visualization but also provides an interpretable interface for higher-level decision making. Moreover, the design of our top-view scene model allows for efficient sampling and thus generation of large-scale simulated data, which we leverage to train a deep neural network to infer our scene model's parameters. Specifically, our proposed training procedure uses supervised domain-adaptation techniques to incorporate both simulated as well as manually annotated data. Finally, we design a Conditional Random Field (CRF) that enforces coherent predictions for a single frame and encourages temporal smoothness among video frames. Experiments on two public data sets show that: (1) Our parametric top-view model is representative enough to describe complex road scenes; (2) The proposed method outperforms baselines trained on manually-annotated or simulated data only, thus getting the best of both; (3) Our CRF is able to generate temporally smoothed while semantically meaningful results.
Aerodynamic Characteristics of Flow over Circular Cylinders with Patterned Surface (2013)

Flow over circular cylinders with patterned surfaces is investigated and discussed taking into consideration the well known characteristics of flows over rough and dimpled cylinders in this paper. Investigations were performed in a subsonic wind tunnel to observe the effect of hexagonal patterns on the flow of air at Reynolds numbers ranging from 3.14E+04 to 2.77E+05. The investigations revealed that a patterned cylinder with patterns pressed outwards (can be referred as hexagonal bumps) has a drag coefficient equal to 65% of the smooth one. Various flow visualization techniques including measurement of velocity profiles in the wake region and smoke flow visualization were employed to elucidate the effect and hence comprehend the reason of drag reduction. Besides that the investigation of vortex shedding frequencies determined by using hot wire anemometry suggested that they do not change significantly with the decrease in drag coefficient in contrast to the dimpled cylinders.
