Evaluation of power rating of core network equipment in practical deployments (2012)

Reasonably accurate reference power consumption values are required for any work that evaluates power consumption in telecommunication networks. Many existing works provide or use optimal power rating (W/Gbps) values, i.e. the power rating achieved for the maximum capacity of the system, with the shared relative overhead thus being the smallest. In this paper, we evaluate how power rating values are influenced by practical equipment filling levels for core IP-over-WDM equipment. We show that, over the equipment's lifetime, for IP/MPLS routers it is reasonable to almost double the optimal power rating value under real-life equipment filling conditions. For Optical Line Amplifiers a correction factor of 1.5 is appropriate, and for WDM terminals the required correction is almost negligible, i.e. 1.1. Furthermore, power measurements on IP routers and Optical Line Amplifiers show that their power consumption marginally depends on traffic load.
Breast Enlargement after Liposuction (2005)

Background We previously reported that a significant percentage of patients who underwent power liposuction noted an increase in their breast size. Objective To determine whether the documented observation of breast enlargement after power liposuction also occurs after traditional liposuction. Methods Charts were retrospectively reviewed and patient interviews were conducted for 70 female patients who had traditional liposuction. Analyses were made based on several factors, including age, pre- and postoperative weight, total fat aspirate volume, treated body areas, and hormonal medications for patients who did and did not have breast enlargement. These results were then compared with patients who experienced an increase in breast size after power liposuction. Results Thirty-seven percent of the study patients (26 of 70) undergoing traditional liposuction reported an increase in breast size. Sixty-five percent of these women (17 of 26) reported an increase of one or more cup sizes. Larger fat aspirate volumes and liposuction of the abdomen and hip or abdomen, hip, and thigh areas were factors associated with the patients who noted breast enlargement after traditional liposuction. Conclusions An increase in breast size was reported in 37% of patients after traditional liposuction and in 34% of patients after power liposuction. We conclude that breast enlargement after both traditional and power liposuction is not related to the mechanical effects of power liposuction. We propose the same hypothesis reported in our previous study that an altered androgen to estrogen ratio after liposuction is likely responsible for this noted occurrence. Weight gain may also be a factor.

Automatic Gaze Correction based on Deep Learning and Image Warping (2019)

When people take a selfie photo or talk through a video chat system, they tend to look at the screen. Since the position of the camera is usually different from that of the screen, the eyes of the person in the photograph or transmitted live video seem to make contact with something other than the viewer. This paper proposes a method to correct the gaze by synthesizing the image texture. The image synthesis uses feature points around the eyes as landmarks. A common convolutional neural network and long-term recurrent convolution network are used to extract or detect these feature points in a still image and video image, respectively. The deep learning-based feature point detections are very accurate compared to conventional methods. These feature points are used as landmarks, and the internal texture of these feature points are synthesized with the prepared template image in advance. Through these procedures, an automatic and natural gaze correction is realized. This method realized a natural gaze correction with little blur, even for a video image.
Biological Roles Played by Sphingolipids in Dimorphic and Filamentous Fungi (2018)

Filamentous and dimorphic fungi cause invasive mycoses associated with high mortality rates. Among the fungal determinants involved in the establishment of infection, glycosphingolipids (GSLs) have gained increased interest in the last few decades. GSLs are ubiquitous membrane components that have been isolated from both filamentous and dimorphic species and play a crucial role in polarized growth as well as hypha-to-yeast transition. In fungi, two major classes of GSLs are found: neutral and acidic GSLs. Neutral GSLs comprise glucosylceramide and galactosylceramide, which utilize Δ4-Δ8-9-methyl-sphingadienine as a sphingoid base, linked to a C<sub>16-18</sub> fatty acid chain, forming ceramide, and to a sugar residue, such as glucose or galactose. In contrast, acidic GSLs include glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides (GIPCs), composed of phytosphingosine attached to a long or very long fatty acid chain (C<sub>18-26</sub>) and to diverse and complex glycan groups via an inositol-phosphate linker. GIPCs are absent in mammalian cells, while fungal glucosylceramide and galactosylceramide are present but diverge structurally from their counterparts. Therefore, these compounds and their biosynthetic pathways represent potential targets for the development of selective therapeutic strategies. In this minireview, we discuss the enzymatic steps involved in the production of fungal GSLs, analyze their structure, and address the role of the currently characterized genes in the biology and pathogenesis of filamentous and dimorphic fungi.
Characterization of Dexamethasone Binding in Normal and Uremic Human Serum (1990)

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent and linearity of dexamethasone binding over a wide concentration range in normal and uremic serum. Tritiated dexamethasone was added to both untreated and charcoal-treated pooled normal serum and to pooled uremic serum to produce concentrations similar to those attained therapeutically (10-1000 ng/mL). Protein binding was determined by equilibrium dialysis at 37 degrees C. Dexamethasone serum binding was linear over the entire range of concentrations for each set of pooled serum. The mean (+/- SD) percent bound (mean +/- SD) for dexamethasone was similar for untreated (75.1 +/- 3.6 percent) and charcoal-treated (77.3 +/- 3.5 percent) normal serum. Dexamethasone binding (69.2 +/- 1.8 percent, p less than 0.05) and serum albumin concentrations (39.9 vs. 55.1 mmol/L) were significantly less in uremic vs. normal serum, respectively. These results suggest that (1) the binding of dexamethasone is linear and occurs primarily to albumin, with little or no binding to corticosteroid-binding globulin; (2) endogenous cortisol does not compete with dexamethasone for protein binding sites; and (3) steroid pharmacokinetics may be altered in uremic patients due to the 24 percent higher free fraction of dexamethasone in this population.
Inheritance of the harlequin color in Great Dane dogs (1985)

The harlequin color pattern of Great Dane dogs differs from merle in that the background is white instead of blue. Harlequin by harlequin matings produced 60 black, 77 harlequin, 42 merle, and 35 homozygous merle pups. Harlequin by black matings produced 44 black, 26 harlequin, 25 merle, and one white (homozygous merle?) pups. All harlequins produced some merles. These data best fit the hypothesis that harlequin is a modification of merle (Mm) caused by an autosomal dominant mutation that is lethal to homozygotes, and to about half of heterozygotes when combined with the MM genotype. The symbol H is proposed for this mutation.
Localization and Differential Expression of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase in the Amphibian Xenopus upon Antigen Stimulation and during Early Development (2007)

As in mammals, B cell maturation in the amphibian Xenopus involves somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination to diversify the B cell receptor repertoire in response to Ag stimulation. Unlike mammals, however, the resulting increase in Ab affinity is poor in Xenopus, which is possibly related to the absence of germinal centers and a suboptimal selection mechanism of SHM. In mammals, both SHM and class switch recombination are mediated by the activation-induced cytidine deaminase enzyme and under Ag-dependent regulation. Given its evolutionary conservation in jawed vertebrates, we used activation-induced cytidine deaminase as a marker to monitor and localize B cell maturation in Xenopus upon immune responses and during early development. In adult, Xenopus laevis AID (XlAID) was detected mainly in the spleen, where cells expressing XlAID were preferentially distributed in follicular B cell zones, although some XlAID(+) cells were also found in the red pulp. XlAID was markedly up-regulated in the spleen with different kinetics upon bacterial stimulation and viral infection. However, during secondary anti-viral response XlAID was also noticeably expressed by PBLs, suggesting that XlAID remains active in a subset of circulating B cells. During ontogeny, XlAID expression was detected as early as 5 days postfertilization in liver before the first fully differentiated B cells appear. Concomitant with appearance of mature B cells XlAID was up-regulated upon bacterial stimulation or viral infection at later larval stages. This study highlights the conserved involvement of XlAID during Ag-dependent B cell responses in Xenopus but also suggests another role in B cell differentiation earlier in ontogeny.
SART for copper control in cyanide heap leaching (2012)

Copper cyanide is a common component of cyanide-treatable precious metal ores. Copper level in production heaps can be predicted from laboratory column tests, but the exact correlation is not necessarily intuitive. Generally heap leach operators like to keep copper levels in solution below 300-500 ppm and may note problems with gold recovery and cyanide consumption when copper concentrations exceed this amount. There are several methods of copper removal from cyanide solutions including ion-exchange; direct electrowinning; Acidification, Volatilization and Recovery AVR); and sulfide precipitation such as the Sulfidization, Acidification, Recycling, and Thickening process (SART). SART involves acidification with addition of soluble sulfide, separation of the resulting copper sulfide precipitate, and addition of lime to reestablish alkalinity prior to returning the solution to the leaching process, recovering both copper and cyanide as valuable products. In principle SART is very simple. Yet some SART plants which have been built may have been unnecessarily complex. This paper explores the basics of SART and makes the case for a simple plant design as applied to the heap leaching circuit. 1.
The managed immune system: protecting the womb to delay the tomb (2008)

The developing immune system serves as a novel target for disruption by environmental chemicals and drugs, and one that can significantly influence later-life health risks. Specific immune maturational events occur during critical windows of pre- and early postnatal development that are not effectively modeled using adult exposure-assessment or general developmental toxicity screens. The range of postnatal health risks linked to developmental immunotoxicity (DIT) is influenced, in part, by the natural progression of prenatal-neonatal development. In this progression, the pregnancy itself imposes a Th2-bias in utero, and this produces a delay in the acquisition of Th1 functional capacity in the newborn. The status of Th1 regulatory and Th17 populations may also be important in immune function/dysfunction considerations. The necessary shift from a Th2 preferred capacity in late gestation to a more balance functional capacity in the neonate can be disrupted by xenobiotics leaving the child with increased vulnerability to a range of potential diseases. Knowledge of environmental factors that facilitate effective immune functional maturation as well as those xenobiotics capable of disrupting the process is important in strategies to reduce the incidence of diseases such as childhood asthma. Because hormesis has been shown to be an important factor in modulation of the adult immune system, it becomes even more important to understand potentially opposing dose-response effects for the immune system of the fetus, neonate, and juvenile. The direct linkage between immune dysfunction and chronic disease has become abundantly apparent in recent years. Therefore, a more comprehensive and effective approach for the protection of the developing immune system can help to reduce the incidence of later-life chronic diseases.

A 6.4G LLR/s 8×8 64-QAM soft-output MIMO detector with lattice reduction preprocessing (2017)

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication is an important technique to increase the transmission capacity, but the increased antenna number does not necessarily increase the throughput because of more antenna interference and decoding complexity. An iterative detector-and-decoder (IDD) can effectively improve transmission performance by exchanging reliability information such as log likelihood ratio between a MIMO detector and a error-correction-code decoder, but the IDD reduces the throughput because of the iteration loop. Therefore, this paper proposes a lattice-reduction-aided (LRA) soft-output K-best detector to eliminate the iteration loop and devises an effective method to calculate the reliable information. The proposed 8 × 8 LRA soft-output K-best detector achieves a better performance than the 8 × 8 MIMO detectors in the literature. The proposed detector was designed and implemented using TSMC 90nm 1P9M CMOS process. The post-layout results show that the detector chip achieves a throughput of 6.4G LLRs/sec at its maximum frequency of 133.3 MHz with 64-QAM modulation.
Saturation magnetostriction coefficient measurement of CoCrPt alloy thin films using a highly sensitive optical deflection-detecting system (2005)

We report on the saturation magnetostriction coefficient of 500Å(Co82Cr18)100−xPtx and xÅ(Co82Cr18)79Pt21 alloy thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The CoCrPt alloy films were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering and the magnetostriction coefficients were measured via a highly sensitive optical deflection-detecting system using a one-dimensional position sensitive detector. The saturation magnetostriction coefficient is increased from −7.23×10−6 to 8.5×10−6 and from −8×10−6 to 14×10−6 with increasing the Pt concentration from 0to35at.% and the film thickness from 400to800Å, respectively. X-ray diffractometry study revealed that crystalline orientation in CoCrPt alloy film, which depends on the Pt concentration and the CoCrPt film thickness, strongly influences the evolution of saturation magnetostriction coefficient.

Evaluation of Apomictic Reproduction in a Set of 39 Chromosome Maize‐Tripsacum Backcross Hybrids (1996)

An apomictic form of hybrid maize ( Zea mays L.) would provide an immortalized line which would be stabilized against genetic change. The development of agronomically superior, apomictic maize hybrids could provide a superior level of food security in developing nations as well as altering commercial and public maize breeding programs‐systems in developed nations. Backcross selections obtained from an apomictic, 38‐chromosome (20 maize + 18 Tripsacum L.) maize‐ Tripsacum hybrid have resulted in the development of apomictic, 39‐chromosome individuals with 30 maize + nine Tripsacum chromosomes. The identification of these materials advances two major objectives: (i) the elimination of nine Tripsacum chromosomes which do not possess the gene(s) controlling apomictic reproduction; and (ii) the continued refinement of an apomictic maize line. This study was conducted to determine whether the 39 chromosome materials reproduce by apomixis. Evaluations were performed by means of cytological, isozyme, and molecular DNA methods to assay the cytological and genetic uniformity within and between the families. The lack of variation within families and among their offspring indicates that both families reproduce by apomixis. In addition, the successful transfer of apomictic genes from Tripsacum , into a maize‐ Tripsacum backcross hybrid with 2 n = 3 x = 30 maize and 1 n = 1 x = 9 Tripsacum chromosomes, is demonstrated. The generation of these materials indicates that continued breeding and selection within such materials could result in the eventual development of a hybrid maize with an apomictic reproductive system.

Advancing paternal age and simplex autism (2011)

De novo events appear more common in female and simplex autism spectrum disorder (ASD) cases and may underlie greater ASD risk in older fathers' offspring. This study examined whether advancing paternal age predicts an increase in simplex (n = 90) versus multiplex ASD cases (n = 587) in 677 participants (340 families). Whether or not controlling for maternal age, results support a significant interaction of linear paternal age and sex of the child on simplex family type. Female ASD cases were significantly more likely to be simplex as paternal age increased, but the increase for males was not significant. Findings suggest that ASD arising from non-familial, de novo events may be far less prominent in males than in females, even if more prevalent in males, due to the substantially larger number of male cases attributable to other, more strongly male-biased risk factors.

A Current-source Type MMC with Delta-connected Arms for SMES (2018)

A current-source type modular multilevel converter (CMMC) is proposed for a power conditioning system (PCS) of a superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES). The CMMC has delta-connected arms, and each arm is composed of parallel-connected H-bridge cells. This circuit configuration can eliminate a high voltage large dc capacitor that is necessary for a conventional voltage-source inverter and reduce the capacity of the PCS. The delta connection of arms makes it possible to use circulating current to balance the superconducting coil current among arms. In addition, the parallel connection of cells enables the SMES to achieve the plug-in/out operations of cells, which is required in case of the quench of a superconducting coil. In this paper, the circuit configuration and its control scheme are proposed. Operations of charge and discharge of the SMES with the CMMC are demonstrated as well as plug-in/out operations of a cell through numerical simulation.
HaCaT cells as a model system to study primary cilia in keratinocytes (2022)

Primary cilium (PC) is a microtubule-based organelle found on the apical surface of most mammalian cell types, playing a role in development and tissue homeostasis. Ciliopathies are a rapidly growing group of human diseases characterized by disordered cilium. PC plays an important role in pathogenesis of basal cell cancer, the most common human malignancy. A significant increase in ciliation has been observed in the epidermis of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis patients. Spontaneously immortalized human keratinocytes, HaCaT are a model to study the epidermal homeostasis and pathophysiology. In contrast to what has been previously described, here, we show that HaCaT can be efficiently ciliated. In HaCaT cells, differentiation significantly increased the number of ciliated cells and we were able to analyse in detail the ciliary length progression with duration of differentiation. As the number of recognized ciliopathies continues to increase, the importance of ciliary models also rises. Even though keratinocytes do not become as highly and rapidly ciliated as cell lines frequently used in ciliary studies, they are a better model for the study of skin ciliopathies. Detailed progression of ciliation in HaCaT could serve as the basis for ciliary studies in this cell line.
Simple and Selective Oxidation of Thiols to Disulfides with Dimethylsulfoxide Catalyzed by Dichlorodioxomolybdenum(VI) (2002)
