Eagle Effect in Nonreplicating Persister Mycobacteria (2015)

We determined the microbicidal activities of antibacterials against nonreplicating Mycobacterium smegmatis grown in a starvation-based Loebel model for persistence. Whereas most drugs lost their activity, fluoroquinolones retained lethal potency. Dose-response characterizations showed a paradoxical more-drug-kills-less Eagle effect. Pretreatment of cultures with chloramphenicol blocked the lethal action of the gyrase inhibitors. These results suggest that fluoroquinolones at low concentrations trigger a protein synthesis-dependent cell death pathway and shut off this suicide pathway at elevated concentrations.

Permeability of Competitive Oxygen-Barrier Resins (1990)

In barrier packaging, it is generally accepted that orientation of the barrier resin reduces its gas permeability. Most of the published data, however, corresponds to low barrier resins. No supporting data exists yet for either high or intermediate barrier resins. To fill that void, the orientability and the sensitivity of oxygen permeability to orientation for six competitive oxygen barrier resins were evaluated. The barrier resins evaluated in this investigation include: an experimental grade Vinylidene chloride/vinyl chloride (VDC) copolymer, aromatic nylon MXD-6, amorphous nylon SELAR PA 3426, polyacrylic-imide XHTA-50A and two EVOH resins - EVAL EP-E105 and SOARNOL D. With the exception of both the EVOH grades, the remaining four barrier resins were orientable in the solid state. Generally, amorphous resins SELAR PA 3426 and polyacrylic-imide XHTA-50A were easier to orient than the semicrystalline resins, VDC copolymer and aromatic nylon MXD-6. In the case of both EVAL EP-E105 and SOARNOL D resins, all attempts to orient from the solid state were unsuccessful. The effect of orientation on permeability is dependent on the morphological nature of the barrier resin. Semicrystalline polymers, VDC copolymer, and aromatic nylon MXD-6 showed little if any improvements in permeability at low orientation levels and in the absence of additional heat treatment. The VDC copolymer, in fact, showed higher permeability - 1.5 times the permeability of the unoriented film - with biaxial orientation. This is believed to be due to microvoid development as a result of solid state orientation of the VDC copolymer after crystallinity is fully developed. The effect of orientation on amorphous barrier resins, SELAR PA 3426 and XHTA- 50A is to decrease permeability by 5-30% in both resins depending on the level of orientation.
Microwave heating behaviors of used mercury-containing catalysts (2018)

Heating characteristics of two types of used mercury-containing catalysts with different mercury content in microwave field were studied. Spent mercury catalysts were proved to be good microwave receptors. Heating curves were analyzed using heat transfer equation. With microwave heating, the sample temperature increased linearly, then increased gradually with considering heat loss, and finally reached an equilibrium value. Effects of material mass, microwave input power and particle size on heating behaviors were investigated. A proper material mass fitted with microwave power can lead to higher average heating rate and equilibrium temperature. Sample temperature increased with increasing input power at a constant material mass. Average heating rate was linearly related to input power. A good linear fitting relation between equilibrium temperature and input power was observed especially for catalyst support activated carbon and used low-level mercury catalysts.
Corticosteroid Regulation of IL-1 Receptors in the Mouse Hippocampus: Effects of Glucocorticoid Treatment, Stress, and Adrenalectomy (1994)

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) and glucocorticoid hormones represent two key mediators involved in the modulation of the neuroimmunoendocrine response to stress. IL-1 is a potent activator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rodents. In the immune system, glucocorticoids modulate IL-1 production and a number of IL-1 receptors. However, little information is currently available about the modulatory effects that glucocorticoids might exert on IL-1 receptors in the central nervous system. To this purpose, we carried out a series of studies to investigate the effects of various manipulations of the HPA axis on IL-1 binding to the murine hippocampus. Our results show that IL-1 receptor levels in the hippocampus were slightly decreased below control values in dexamethasone (DEX)-treated animals (0.25 or 1 mg/kg i.p. every 12 h) either in subchronic (5 doses) or chronic (8 days) treatments. Corticosterone (CORT) resulted in a small reduction in IL-1 receptors only when injected subchronically at the dose of 5 mg/kg. When it was given at a lower dose (1.25 mg/kg), injected chronically or implanted subcutaneously as CORT pellets for 8 days, no effect was observed. Neither glucocorticoid modified IL-1 binding when administered as a single injection. Saturation studies after subchronic corticosteroid treatment did not reveal modifications in the number and/or affinity of IL-1 receptors in the hippocampus. The regulation of IL-1 receptors by glucocorticoids was also studied following stimulation of IL-1 production by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Ultralight and Binder‐Free All‐Solid‐State Flexible Supercapacitors for Powering Wearable Strain Sensors (2017)

Abstract Flexible energy storage devices play a pivotal role in realizing the full potential of flexible electronics. This work presents high‐performance, all‐solid‐state, flexible supercapacitors by employing an innovative multilevel porous graphite foam (MPG). MPGs exhibit superior properties, such as large specific surface area, high electric conductivity, low mass density, high loading efficiency of pseudocapacitive materials, and controlled corrugations for accommodating mechanical strains. When loaded with pseudocapacitive manganese oxide (Mn 3 O 4 ), the MPG/Mn 3 O 4 (MPGM) composites achieve a specific capacitance of 538 F g −1 (1 mV s −1 ) and 260 F g −1 (1 mV s −1 ) based on the mass of pure Mn 3 O 4 and entire electrode composite, respectively. Both are among the best of Mn 3 O 4 ‐based supercapacitors. The MPGM is mechanically robust and can go through 1000 mechanical bending cycles with only 1.5% change in electric resistance. When integrated as all‐solid‐state symmetric supercapacitors, they offer a full cell specific capacitance as high as 53 F g −1 based on the entire electrode and retain 80% of capacitance after 1000 continuous mechanical bending cycles. Furthermore, the all‐solid‐state flexible supercapacitors are incorporated with strain sensors into self‐powered flexible devices for detection of both coarse and fine motions on human skins, i.e., those from finger bending and heart beating.
Leukocyte Transglutaminase 2 Expression Limits Atherosclerotic Lesion Size (2006)

We conclude that macrophage TG2 expression promotes both apoptotic cell clearance and ABCA1 expression in vitro and limits atherosclerotic lesion size in vivo.
Turbo coding for transmission over ADSL (2002)

A multidimensional 16-state trellis coded modulation (MTCM) is given as an option in the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) standard based on discrete multitone (DMT) techniques. To further improve the transmission performance, instead of this MTCM, we propose to use bandwidth-efficient turbo trellis coded modulation (TTCM) in ADSL DMT systems. We show that by using turbo codes, we can obtain 6 dB coding gain for a bit error rate (BER) of 10/sup -6/ in AWGN channels and more than 6.8 dB coding gain for a BER of 10/sup -7/ using a concatenated coding scheme.

Transmit space-frequency prefiltering technique for downlink TDD MC-CDMA systems (2003)

In this communication, we present a space-frequency pre-filtering technique, for downlink time division duplex (TDD) MC-CDMA systems, where the base station is equipped with an antenna array. We show that the pre-filtering approach can considerably reduce the multiple access interference at the mobile terminals allowing the transfer of a significant part of the computational complexity to the base station, using a very low complexity receiver at the mobile. This approach relies on the availability of the channel state information at transmission, i.e., uses the time division duplex channel reciprocity between alternative uplink and downlink to obtain the channel state information. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed prefiltering algorithm. Moreover, the performance of the proposed pre-filtering algorithm is assessed in two distinct scenarios: beamforming and diversity.

The United Nations Basic Space Science Initiative for IHY 2007 (2006)

Abstract The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) community have joined hands to deploy arrays of small, inexpensive instruments such as magnetometers, radio telescopes, GPS receivers, all-sky cameras, and particle detectors around the world to provide global measurements of ionospheric, magnetospheric and heliospheric phenomena. The small instrument programme is envisioned as a partnership between instrument providers, and instrument hosts in developing countries as one of United Nations Basic Space Science (UNBSS) activity. The lead scientist will provide the instruments (or fabrication plans for instruments) in the array; the host country will provide manpower, facilities, and operational support to obtain data with the instrument, located typically at a local university. This paper provides an overview of the IHY/UNBSS programme, its achievements and future plans.

[Chemical nature and biological activity of miliacine]. (1991)

Chemical nature and biological activity of miliacine that is contained in millet oil have been studied. It produces moderate anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates sexual resistance in female rats, increases summary gonadotropic activity of the hypophysis in infantile female rats; in case of acute intoxication with carbon tetrachloride, it promotes normalization of enzyme activity in the liver and blood serum. Miliacine is of practical importance in meat cattle breeding as a growth stimulator. With the use of miliacine the mean daily animal's gain in weight grows, and the coefficient of the food ration digestibility rises. In contrast to other growth stimulators used in cattle breeding miliacine possesses no toxic properties.
Automated Detection of Spoof Iris Images using Local Texture Analysis (2013)

Iris recognition has been regarded as one of the most promising technologies to provide reliable human identification [1]. For example, iris biometrics has been employed in the Aadhar project to provide reliable identification for millions of citizens [2]. Therefore, the integrity of such large scale iris recognition system must also be ensured to avoid the potential threats such as spoofing attacks, e.g. [3], which can pose vulnerability to the iris recognition systems. Ref. [4] details the feasibility of using high quality printed iris images to compromise the iris recognition technologies deployed today. In this project, our objective has been to develop new algorithms that can be used to for detecting fake iris images using the advanced image processing and machine learning techniques.
Early probabilistic noise estimation for capacitively coupled interconnects (2003)

One of the critical challenges in today's high-performance IC design is to take noise into account as early as possible in the design cycle. Current noise analysis tools are effective at analyzing and identifying noise in the postroute design stage when detailed parasitic information is available. However, noise problems identified at this stage of the design cycle are very difficult to correct due to the limited flexibility in design and may cause additional iterations of routing and placement which adds costly delays in its time to market. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic preroute noise analysis approach to identify postroute noise failures before the actual detailed route is completed. We introduce new methods to estimate the RC characteristics of victim and aggressor lines, their coupling capacitances, and the aggressor transition times before routing is performed. The approach is based on congestion information obtained from a global router. Since the exact location and relative position of wires in the design are not yet available, we propose a novel probabilistic method for capacitance extraction. We present results on two high-performance microprocessors in 0.18 /spl mu/m technology that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Others (1985)

The ‘problem of the other’ pervades Merleau-Ponty’s writings. He concluded The Structure of Behaviour with a brief discussion of how we make sense of the action of others.1 The analysis of the perceived world in the Phenomenology of Perception culminated with an account of Others and the Human World’.2 He devoted a course at the Sorbonne to ‘The Child’s Relations with Others’ and spent part of his course on ‘Consciousness and the Acquisition of Language’ reviewing the discussion of the other in Husserl and Scheler.3 The penultimate chapter of The Prose of the World dealt with ‘Dialogue and the Perception of the Other’.4 The problematic status of ‘Being-for-others’ played a major role in the critique of Sartre in Adventures of the Dialectic.5 The problem of the other likewise occupied a prominent place in his last courses at the Collège de France.6 And finally, one of the more fecund working notes for The Visible and the Invisible argued that a successful resolution of dilemmas surrounding the problem of others ‘requires a complete reconstruction of philosophy’.7
Multiclass MinMax rank aggregation (2017)

We introduce a new family of minmax rank aggregation problems under two distance measures, the Kendall τ and the Spearman footrule. As the problems are NP-hard, we proceed to describe a number of constant-approximation algorithms for solving them. We conclude with illustrative applications of the aggregation methods on the Mallows model and genomic data.

Regulation in the connected world (2000)

Reports on e‐business and its boom in the financial sector and the criteria required to meet rules laid down by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). Presents FSA requirements as follows, regarding “operating” in the UK: targeting UK residents; head office/egistered office located in the UK; head office/registered office located overseas but targeting UK residents (with various exceptions); computer systems physically based in the UK. Closes by saying the e‐business market for financial services is likely to expand in the years to come – but the FSA must be consulted before final plans are made.
Driving ability after right-sided puncture of the common femoral artery during coronary angiography (2018)

We found no impairment of BRT on the first day after puncture of the right-sided femoral artery in patients undergoing CAG. Therefore, with regard to BRT, it is regarded safe to resume driving from day 1 after CAG. Other factors of driving safety beyond BRT must also be considered.
Age differences in context integration in memory. (1998)

This research examined the role of contextual integration in memories of younger and older adults. In 2 experiments, recall of a target picture to a context picture cue was better when sentences were generated that integrated the picture pair and when the picture pairs were already related to each other. Age differences were smallest when sentences were generated for semantically related pairs. Older adults generated the same type sentences as younger adults, although they generated fewer integrations for unrelated pairs. In a 3rd experiment, younger adults could not differentiate between younger- and older-generated sentences from Experiment 1, and the sentences did not differentially affect recall performance. The results are discussed in terms of age differences in self-initiated processing when using context.
Neglect of lactation stage leads to naive assessment of residual feed intake in dairy cattle (2017)

Residual feed intake (RFI) is a candidate trait for feed efficiency in dairy cattle. We investigated the influence of lactation stage on the effect of energy sinks in defining RFI and the genetic parameters for RFI across lactation stages for primiparous dairy cattle. Our analysis included 747 primiparous Holstein cows, each with recordings on dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield, milk composition, and body weight (BW) over 44 lactation weeks. For each individual cow, energy-corrected milk (ECM), metabolic BW (MBW), and change in BW (ΔBW) were calculated in each week of lactation and were taken as energy sinks when defining RFI. Two RFI models were considered in the analyses; RFI model [1] was a 1-step RFI model with constant partial regression coefficients of DMI on energy sinks (ECM, MBW, and ΔBW) over lactation. In RFI model [2], data from 44 lactation weeks were divided into 11 consecutive lactation periods of 4 wk in length. The RFI model [2] was identical to model [1] except that period-specific partial regressions of DMI on ECM, MBW, and ΔBW in each lactation period were allowed across lactation. We estimated genetic parameters for RFI across lactation by both models using a random regression method. Using RFI model [2], we estimated the period-specific effects of ECM, MBW, and ΔBW on DMI in all lactation periods. Based on results from RFI model [2], the partial regression coefficients of DMI on ECM, MBW, and ΔBW differed across lactation in RFI. Constant partial regression coefficients of DMI on energy sinks over lactation was not always sufficient to account for the effects across lactation and tended to give roughly average information from all period-specific effects. Heritability for RFI over 44 lactation weeks ranged from 0.10 to 0.29 in model [1] and from 0.10 to 0.23 in model [2]. Genetic variance and heritability estimates for RFI from model [2] tended to be slightly lower and more stable across lactation than those from model [1]. In both models, RFI was genetically different over lactation, especially between early and later lactation stages. Genetic correlation estimates for RFI between early and later lactation tended to be higher when using model [2] compared with model [1]. In conclusion, partial regression coefficients of DMI on energy sinks differed across lactation when modeling RFI. Neglect of lactation stage when defining RFI could affect the assessment of RFI and the estimation of genetic parameters for RFI across lactation.
Synthesis and reactions of thiaminedisulfide sulfur derivatives. (1978)

Methylsulfinylethylthiamine (MSIT) (I) was found to be converted readily into a mixture of disulfides in aqueous solution at pH 7-8. Disulfides II and III were isolated and their structures were confirmed to be MSIT-disulfide and MTETDS (methylthioethyl-thiaminedisulfide), respectively. Disulfide IV could not be isolated in a pure state, but rapid disproportionation into a mixture of II and III suggested that IV is a mixed disulfide of MSIT and MTET. In buffer solution at pH 8, the disappearance of MSIT followed first-order kinetics with 2.53×10-3 sec-1 at 60°, and the activation energy was found to be 23.8 kcal/mol. Clearly, the sulfoxide group in MSIT plays an important role in this transformation reaction. In the proposed reaction route, MSIT reacts with two mol of alkali to produce ring opened thiol and intramolecular thiol-sulfoxide interaction occurs to form an unstable thiol-sulfoxide adduct that is rapidly destroyed by reaction with another molecule of thiol to give an unsymmetrical disulfide (IV). Disproportionation of IV follows to afford a mixture of symmetrical disulfides II and III. Independent synthesis of II and III was also achieved via halogeno-SB1. Compounds II and III show high anticoccidial activities against avian coccidiosis.
Molecular and Cellular Interaction of the Differentiating Antitumour Agent Dimethylcrocetin with Nuclear Retinoic Acid Receptor as Studied by Near‐Infrared and Visible SERS Spectroscopy (1997)

Fourier transform (FT) Raman and surface enhanced Raman microspectroscopy (SERS) were used as a vibrational probe for investigating, in vitro and at the cellular level, the molecular interaction of dimethylcrocetin (DMCRT) with the retinoic acid nuclear receptor RAR-γ. FT-SERS results obtained in vitro with silver colloids demonstrated that DMCRT interacts specifically with RAR-γ. Comparison between the spectra of DMCRT in HL60 cancer cells and the in vitro DMCRT–RARγ complex showed practically the same shift in wavenumber of the band at 1210 cm-1 and the same intensity ratios I1541/I1165 and I1541/I1210. The similarity between the signal of DMCRT in K562 cells and in the free form is explained by either an absence of nuclear receptor or an absence of any interaction between the drug and receptor. These results seem to indicate that carotenoids could possibly activate the nuclear receptor in a similar manner to retinoids. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
