Design of a compact dual‐band bandpass filter with LTCC technology (2007)

Abstract A novel dual‐band bandpass filter is proposed in this article. Multiple stepped impedance resonators are shunt‐connected with the transmission line section to realize the dual‐band filter. Therefore, a transmission zero, which will increase isolation, can be easily generated in the middle of two passbands. Theoretical analysis and design procedures are also described in this article. Moreover, measured results of the fabricated filter match well with the outcome of theoretical prediction, indicating the feasibility of the proposed configuration. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nutriproteomic Analysis of Hwangmaemok-Induced Antiangiogenic Effect Using Antibody-Arrayed Protein Chip Assay (2017)

We investigated the antiangiogenic effects of Lindera obtusiloba Blume (Hwangmaemok, HMM), which is a plant in the Lauraceae family that is commonly used to treat colds and gastritis. Moreover, given that a recent study reported the inhibitory effects of HMM extract on cancer metastasis, we hypothesized that HMM extract might possess and antiangiogenic function. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of HMM extract on endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and neovascularization in chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), and investigated the molecular mechanism of antiangiogenesis using a ProteoChip-based proteomics technology. To examine the effects of HMM extracts on endothelial cell proliferation and migration, we conducted basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation and migration. To assess the molecular mechanism of the antiangiogenic effects of HMM extract, a ProteoChip-based forwarded phase antibody array was employed to identify the differential expression of cell cycle proteins in HMM-treated HUVECs. HMM extract inhibited bFGF-induced HUVEC proliferation and migration in a dose-dependent manner and CAM angiogenesis. The ProteoChip-based antibody microarray data showed upregulation of Nibrin/NBS1 and downregulation of Plk-1 and Cyclin E, which are involved in cell division and controlling the cell cycle in bFGF-induced HUVECs. These data suggest that HMM may be a potent antitumor medicinal herb. The present study demonstrates that the antiangiogenic effect of HMM may be due to suppression of endothelial cell proliferation and migration. Taken together, these results emphasize the potential to use HMM extract as a potent angiogenesis inhibitor to treat cancer.
Determining the effect of stocking rate on the spatial distribution of cattle for the subtropical savannas (2009)

With the commercial development of the global positioning system (GPS), it is now possible to monitor the distribution of free ranging cattle and derive measures to describe landscape use. Animal GPS data can be integrated with a geographic information system (GIS) detailing topography, vegetation, soil type and other landscape features. Combining GPS and GIS information is useful for understanding how animals respond to spatial variability. This study quantified land-type preferences for Brahman cross steers over three time periods, from October 2004 to March 2006 in a replicated trial, under heavy (4 ha/AE; animal equivalent of ~450 kg steer) and light (8 ha/AE) stocking in four, ~105 ha paddocks of subtropical semi-arid savanna near Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia. The grazing trail was conducted at a scale much less than would be found in commercial situations. Consequently, the spatial pattern of cattle reported here may not represent what occurs at a commercial scale and implications are discussed. Results were analysed in terms of the spatial distribution of steers fitted with GPS devices in each of the four paddocks and for each stocking rate to provide insight into cattle distribution and land-type preferences. Steers walked in excess of 6 km per day, regardless of stocking rate, and exhibited diurnal patterns of movement, with peak activity around dawn (0500–0700 hours) and dusk (1800–2000 hours). The spatial distribution of the collared steers was not uniform and appeared to be strongly influenced by the prevailing drought conditions and location of water points within each paddock. A hierarchy of drivers for distribution was identified. With the exception of drinking water location, land subtype based on soil-vegetation associations influenced animal distribution. Preference indices (ŵi) indicated that steers selected sites associated with heavy clay and texture contrast soils dominated by Eucalyptus coolabah Blakely &amp; Jacobs (ŵi = 5.33) and Eucalyptus brownii Maiden &amp; Cambage (ŵi = 3.27), respectively, and avoiding Eucalyptus melanophloia F.Muell. ridges (ŵi = 0.26) and Eucalyptus cambageana Maiden (ŵi = 0.12) on sodosols. The results suggest that spatial variation in cattle distribution within a paddock may be more critical than overall stocking rate in influencing the pattern of biomass utilisation. However, to quantifying the effects of different grazing land management practices on animal distribution on a commercial scale, additional studies in extensive paddocks are required.

Color Image Enhancement Based on Adaptive Nonlinear Curves of Luminance Features (2015)

This paper proposes an image-dependent color image enhancement method that uses adaptive luminance enhancement and color emphasis. It effectively enhances details of low-light regions while maintaining well-balanced luminance and color information. To compare the structure similarity and naturalness, we used the tone mapped image quality index (TMQI). The proposed method maintained better structure similarity in the enhanced image than did the space-variant luminance map (SVLM) method or the adaptive and integrated neighborhood dependent approach for nonlinear enhancement (AINDANE). The proposed method required the smallest computation time among the three algorithms. The proposed method can be easily implemented using the field-programmable gate array (FPGA), with low hardware resources and with better performance in terms of similarity.
Sustainability design: Reduction of vehicle mass without compromizing crashworthiness (2009)

In former times, engineers were only concern about ¿designing¿ a product that meets its objectives. Little concern was given to the future availability of natural resources. Current design trends are more stringent to say. Not only the product has to fulfill its objectives/ functional performance, but it has to fulfill the market needs and at the same time ensuring there is minimal material or energy wastage. The objective of this study was to address the later requirement which is minimizing material wastage. The study focused on size optimization of the frontal vehicle structure via design of experiment and finite element analysis. The outcome of the study was encouraging. A weight savings of 8 kg was achieved without severely affecting the crashworthiness behavior of the vehicle.
An authentication framework for a hybrid satellite network with resource-constrained nodes (2005)

The new phase of space exploration involves a growing number of human and robotic space missions to remote planets with varying communication and service requirements. Due to the critical nature of the missions, security is a very important requirement that needs to be addressed. Among primary security requirements are user authentication and message integrity that are needed to ensure that the data in the network is transmitted without unauthorized modifications between the source and destinations, and that data from only authorized network nodes are accepted by other nodes. In this paper we focus on the issue of user authentication and data integrity for a specific space network architecture supporting lunar exploration. We consider a hybrid network consisting of a terrestrial network on Earth, a network on the lunar surface, and a satellite constellation that connects the two surface networks. The lunar network comprises sensor nodes serviced by stationary gateways and mobile robotic vehicles with sensing capability, while the network on Earth is envisioned as a combination of private and public networks. The problem of authentication in this network is complex due to the presence of nodes with varying capabilities in terms of computation strength, storage and energy. The nodes on Earth and the gateways on the lunar surface would have higher computation and energy capabilities compared to the satellites and the sensor nodes. In this situation, an authentication protocol that is optimized to the strengths and limitations of the different classes of nodes would be most suited. We focus on a solution that will operate under the constraints of the space environment (delay, limited energy, limited processing capability at remote nodes). We present a framework for user authentication and data integrity based on an authentication algorithm that makes use of symmetric certificates and hash chains of keys used to compute Message Authentication Codes, to provide asymmetric authentication capabilities to the network nodes. nodes with more resources. We give a detailed description of the authentication protocol we develop for this network and provide an analysis of the security of the protocol by considering various types of passive and active attacks. We also highlight the savings incurred in terms of processing, storage and network bandwidth, which we get in using the proposed protocol in comparison to standard public-key authentication protocols.
A disturbance-free read scheme and a compact stochastic-spin-dynamics-based MTJ circuit model for Gb-scale SPRAM (2009)

A magnetic-tunnel-junction (MTJ) circuit model, which considers spin dynamics under finite temperature, electrical bias, a stochastic process, and spin-transfer torque, was developed. Switching behaviors simulated by this model were verified by experimental measurements. Moreover, a disturbance-free read scheme for Gbit-scale spin-transfer torque RAM (SPRAM) was also developed. The feasibility of this scheme was confirmed by circuit simulation using the model and on-chip measurement of switching probability.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Expression during Early Conceptus Development in the Pig1 (1989)

Porcine conceptuses (embryo and associated membranes) in utero undergo developmental morphological transformations coincident with structural and biochemical changes in the uterine endometrium during early gestation. To elucidate a possible role for insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in these events, porcine endometrial (Days 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 30) and conceptus (Days 12, 14, and 16) tissues were characterized for the presence of IGF-I peptide and mRNAs. The corresponding uterine luminal fluids (ULF) at these stages of pregnancy were also analyzed for immunoreactive IGF-I concentration. ULF IGF-I was lowest on Day 8, highest on Day 12, and declined by Day 14. In contrast, endometrial tissue IGF-I content remained constant during this period. Conceptus tissues contained less IGF-I than endometrial tissues; however, conceptus IGF-I values were maximum on Day 12 coincident with peak values for ULF IGF-I. Dot-blot hybridization analyses revealed temporal variation in steady-state levels of IGF-I mRNAs in endometrium. Highest levels of endometrial IGF-I mRNA were detected on Day 12 and were about 4-fold greater than on Day 30 of pregnancy. IGF-I mRNA expression in conceptus tissues on Days 12, 14, and 16 was the same and was significantly less than that in endometrium on Day 12. These results demonstrate the temporal variation of IGF-I mRNA abundance in uterine endometrium and of immunoreactive IGF-I in ULF and in conceptus tissues, with the developmental processes occurring in the conceptuses at early pregnancy.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Seeing through Network-Protocol Obfuscation (2015)

Censorship-circumvention systems are designed to help users bypass Internet censorship. As more sophisticated deep-packet-inspection (DPI) mechanisms have been deployed by censors to detect circumvention tools, activists and researchers have responded by developing network protocol obfuscation tools. These have proved to be effective in practice against existing DPI and are now distributed with systems such as Tor. In this work, we provide the first in-depth investigation of the detectability of in-use protocol obfuscators by DPI. We build a framework for evaluation that uses real network traffic captures to evaluate detectability, based on metrics such as the false-positive rate against background (i.e., non obfuscated) traffic. We first exercise our framework to show that some previously proposed attacks from the literature are not as effective as a censor might like. We go on to develop new attacks against five obfuscation tools as they are configured in Tor, including: two variants of obfsproxy, FTE, and two variants of meek. We conclude by using our framework to show that all of these obfuscation mechanisms could be reliably detected by a determined censor with sufficiently low false-positive rates for use in many censorship settings.
A linear receiver for coded multiuser CDMA (1997)

We consider a CDMA system with error-control coding. Optimal joint decoding is prohibitively complex. Instead, we propose a sequential approach for handling multiple-access interference and error-control decoding. Error-control decoding is implemented via single-user soft-input decoders utilizing metrics generated by linear algebraic multiuser metric generators. The decorrelator, and a new scheme termed the projection receiver, are utilized as metric generators. For a synchronous system, the coded performance of the projection receiver metric is shown to be superior to the decorrelator even though they are equally complex. Also, the theoretical degradation relative to the single user bound is derived.
Mycobacterium paragordonae sp. nov., a slowly growing, scotochromogenic species closely related to Mycobacterium gordonae (2013)

A previously undescribed, slowly growing, scotochromogenic mycobacterial strain (49061(T)) was isolated from a patient with pulmonary infections during the hsp65-sequence-based identification of Korean clinical isolates. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence was unique and the phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence (1393 bp) placed the organism into the slow-growing Mycobacterium group close to Mycobacterium gordonae (99.0 % sequence similarity). Growth characteristics and acid-fastness also supported the placement of this species into the genus Mycobacterium. Phenotypically, this strain was generally similar to Mycobacterium gordonae; however, of particular interest, the optimal growth temperature of strain 49061(T) was 25-30 °C, and it was not able to grow at 37 °C on 7H10 agar slants. Unique MALDI-TOF MS profiles of lipids, phylogenetic analysis based on another two gene sequences (hsp65 and rpoB) and a low DNA-DNA relatedness (46.52±0.7) strongly supported the taxonomic status of this strain as a representative of a distinct species from M. gordonae. It was concluded that the strain represents a novel species for which the name Mycobacterium paragordonae is proposed with the type strain 49061(T) ( = JCM 18565(T) = KCTC 29126(T)).
Hydrogen bonds to carboxylate groups. The question of three-centre interactions (1992)

Hydrogen bond geometries as well as their stereochemical preferences have been compared for 255 small molecule carboxylate structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database. A total of 974 independent hydrogen bonds were analysed. Hydrogen atoms cluster in the carboxylate lone-pair directions with no tendency to adopt a central, symmetric position between the two oxygens. The long, secondary H ⋯ O contacts of asymmetric syn hydrogen bonds do not affect either the overall geometries of the interactions or the total syn/anti distribution of accepted H-atoms, presumably due to very unfavourable CO ⋯ H angles. On this basis it is suggested that syn hydrogen bonds to carboxylates should be regarded most frequently as two-centre rather than three-centre (bifurcated) interactions. The statistical data also show that criteria traditionally used to infer three-centre hydrogen bonds are inadequate for carboxylate acceptors.

Integrable systems and Riemann surfaces of infinite genus (1994)

To the spectral curves of smooth periodic solutions of the $n$-wave equation the points with infinite energy are added. The resulting spaces are considered as generalized Riemann surfcae. In general the genus is equal to infinity, nethertheless these Riemann surfaces are similar to compact Riemann surfaces. After proving a Riemann Roch Theorem we can carry over most of the constructions of the finite gap potentials to all smooth periodic potentials. The symplectic form turns out to be closely related to Serre duality. Finally we prove that all non-linear PDE's, which belong to the focussing case of the non-linear Schrödinger equation, have global solutions for arbitrary smooth periodic inital potantials.
Clinical, Immunophenotypic, and Genetic Characterization of Small Lymphocyte–Like Plasma Cell Myeloma (2010)

We reviewed bone marrow studies from 351 multiple myeloma (MM) cases, selecting 12 cases (3.4%) with predominantly small lymphocyte-like morphologic features resembling B-cell lymphoma, and correlated their genetic and clinical features. All exhibited a diffuse interstitial pattern of marrow involvement. Small lymphocyte-like plasma cells were all CD45- with bright CD38 and CD138 expression and CD20 expression in 5 cases. No case had an increase in bone marrow B lymphocytes by flow cytometry. Of 12 cases, 9 were classified as the CD-2 molecular class by gene expression profiling (GEP). The 29 CD-2 class cases with (n = 9) and without (n = 20) small lymphocyte-like features could not be discerned from one another using global GEP. Event-free, but not overall, survival was significantly better in cases with small lymphocyte-like features among those sharing the CD-2 subtype. Small lymphocyte-like MM is a rare, morphologically challenging variant distinguished from B-cell lymphoma by lack of CD45 and presence of CD138 and the clinical presentation of MM. Most cases share a common GEP signature dominated by hyperexpression of cyclin D1 or cyclin D3 genes, with increased expression of the B-cell genes CD20 and VPREB3.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha decreases surfactant protein B mRNA in murine lung (1996)

Respiratory failure secondary to acute lung inflammation is associated with quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of pulmonary surfactant. The surfactant-associated proteins (SP)-A, -B, and -C are critical for normal surfactant function, synthesis, and metabolism. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a primary mediator of acute lung inflammation, decreased SP gene expression in vitro (32, 34). In the present in vivo study, transient T cell activation and TNF-alpha release were initiated by intraperitoneal administration of anti-CD3 antibody 145-2C11. Serum TNF-alpha was elevated 2 h after injection of the antibody. SP-B and -C mRNA were decreased 12 and 24 h after antibody treatment. Intratracheal murine TNF-alpha also resulted in decreased SP-B and SP-C mRNA levels in the bronchiolar and alveolar epithelium of adult FVB/N mice, as demonstrated by S1 nuclease protection and in situ hybridization assays, despite minimal histological inflammation. SP-A mRNA was not significantly altered after anti-CD3 antibody and was only mildly decreased after TNF-alpha. As previously reported, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 mRNA was elevated after intratracheal TNF-alpha. SP insufficiency contributes to the pathogenesis of pulmonary diseases associated with increased TNF-alpha, such as adult respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia (8). TNF-alpha-mediated decrease in SP gene expression may contribute to the surfactant dysfunction and atelectasis observed in inflammatory lung diseases.

Maturational disturbance of chondrocytes inCbfa1-deficient mice (1999)

Cbfa1, a transcription factor that belongs to the runt-domain gene family, plays an essential role in osteogenesis. Cbfa1-deficient mice completely lacked both intramembranous and endochondral ossification, owing to the maturational arrest of osteoblasts, indicating that Cbfa1 has a fundamental role in osteoblast differentiation. However, Cbfa1 was also expressed in chondrocytes, and its expression was increased according to the maturation of chondrocytes. Terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes expressed Cbfa1 extensively. The significant expression of Cbfa1 in hypertrophic chondrocytes was first detected at embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5), and its expression in hypertrophic chondrocytes was most prominent at E14.5-16.5. In Cbfa1-deficient mice, whose entire skeleton was composed of cartilage, the chondrocyte differentiation was disturbed. Calcification of cartilage occurred in the restricted parts of skeletons, including tibia, fibula, radius, and ulna. Type X collagen, BMP6, and Indian hedgehog were expressed in their hypertrophic chondrocytes. However, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and collagenase 3 were not expressed at all, indicating that they are directly regulated by Cbfa1 in the terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes. Chondrocyte differentiation was severely disturbed in the rest of the skeleton. The expression of PTH/PTHrP receptor, Indian hedgehog, type X collagen, and BMP6 was not detected in humerus and femur, indicating that chondrocyte differentiation was blocked before prehypertrophic chondrocytes. These findings demonstrate that Cbfa1 is an important factor for chondrocyte differentiation.
Building Urban LOD for Solving Illegally Parked Bicycles in Tokyo (2016)

The illegal parking of bicycles is an urban problem in Tokyo and other urban areas. The purpose of this study was to sustainably build Linked Open Data (LOD) for the illegally parked bicycles and to support the problem solving by raising social awareness, in cooperation with the Bureau of General Affairs of Tokyo. We first extracted information on the problem factors and designed LOD schema for illegally parked bicycles. Then we collected pieces of data from Social Networking Service (SNS) and websites of municipalities to build the illegally parked bicycle LOD (IPBLOD) with more than 200,000 triples. We then estimated the missing data in the LOD based on the causal relations from the problem factors. As a result, the number of illegally parked bicycles can be inferred with 70.9 % accuracy. Finally, we published the complemented LOD and a Web application to visualize the distribution of illegally parked bicycles in the city. We hope this raises social attention on this issue.
