Human lymphocyte mitogen of microbial origin and cell-cell interaction among leukocytes in response to the mitogen. (1987)

Mitogenic substances on human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes were screened from culture filtrates of microorganisms newly isolated from soil and sea water by measuring [3H]-thymidine incorporation into the cells. Strong mitogenic activity was found in marine bacteria, particularly in marine vibrios. These mitogen samples exhibited neither hemagglutinating activity nor leukoagglutinating activity. They could scarcely stimulate murine lymphocytes. Cell-cell interaction among leukocyte subsets in response to a bacterial mitogen was investigated using the most powerfully mitogenic sample (culture filtrate of strain H 52-2). A slight decrease in the mitogen response was observed on depletion of plastic surface adherent cells. Separation of T and non-T cells from each other by erythrocyte-rosette sedimentation resulted in a markedly diminished mitogen response. Considerable restoration of the mitogen response was obtained when T cells were mixed with mitomycin C-treated adherent cells or mitomycin C-treated non-T lymphocytes, or when non-T lymphocytes were mixed with mitomycin C-treated T cells.
Improving Fast Ripples Recording with Model-Guided Design of Microelectrodes (2022)

&lt;p&gt;Objective: Microelectrodes allow for the recording of neural activities with a high spatial resolution. However, their small sizes result in their high impedance, therefore, leading to a high thermal noise and a poor signal- to-noise ratio. In the context of drug-resistant epilepsy, efficient Fast Ripples (FRs; 250-600 Hz) detection can help in pre-surgical investigations and delineation of epileptic zones. Consequently, good quality recordings with a high spatial resolution promise to improve the surgical outcome. This work aims at proposing a reliable model-based microelectrode design that is optimized for FRs recordings and detection.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Methods: A 3D microscale computational model simulates the FRs generated in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus. It couples with the electrode-tissue interface characteristics that account for the microelectrode’s biophysical properties and their impact on the recorded signal. To validate this model, analyses of the electrode’s geometrical (diameter, position, and direction) and physical (materials, coating) characteristics were con- ducted in order to propose an optimal microelectrode de- sign tuned for FRs recording. In addition, &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Results: Experimental signals were recorded from mice in the hippocampal CA1 subfield from different electrodes for comparison. ( between stainless steel, gold and gold coated with poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) /Poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS)).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Conclusion: Both in silico and in vivo quantified results show a clear improvement in FRs observability using PEDOT/PSS coated microelectrode. &lt;/p&gt;
[Clinical, pathophysiological and morphological features of closed craniocerebral trauma in combatants]. (2005)

We studied clinicodynamic features of neuropsychic disorders resultant from a combat craniocerebral trauma (CCT) in patients of Nizhny Novgorod Regional Neurological Hospital for War Veterans (n = 420). The patients were divided into three groups: with mild, moderate and severe traumas. All the patients were examined clinically and clinicophysiologically (electroencephalography, computer tomography, electrocardiography, ultrasound and X-ray investigations). Experimental-psychological tests and questionnaire survey were alsom conducted. 200 patients had been followed up for 3-7 years. Impairment of brain stem structures and vascular factor play a key role in development of psychopathological disorders of primary asthenic and neurosis-like spectrum. Local lesion of the brain in severe CCT leads to predominant manifestations of the psychoorganic syndrome in milder symptoms of poststress disorders.

Extending Electrical Resistivity Measurements in Micro-scratching of Silicon to Determine Thermal Conductivity of the Metallic Phase Si-II (2010)

Ductile Regime Machining of semiconductors (DRM) offers higher quality of the resulting surfaces. To optimize this process, it is required to understand the thermal kinetics of silicon metallization under pressure. Such understanding is not yet possible since the metallic phases of silicon aren't readily amenable to thermal characterization through direct measurements. This being the case, one has to rely on processing indirect measurement data to deduce refined estimates of the thermal transport properties of pressurized Silicon. A feasible measurement of this sort is the electrical resistivity, since its' variation during indentation and consider is often an indicator of the formation of the metallic silicon phase Si-II under the indenter. This paper, therefore, describes a procedure by which the average thermal conductivity of the metallic phase of silicon, Si-II is extracted from electrical resistivity measurements taken in real time. The procedure is based on teaming a temperature evaluation code to the resistivity measurements thus allowing the extraction of the conductivity as a function of temperature.

Periconceptional and Prenatal Metals Exposure and Extracellular Vesicle miRNA in Breast Milk: A Pilot Study (2022)

Background and Aim: Breast milk is a rich source of extracellular vesicle (EV) miRNA, which are hypothesized to contribute to maternal-offspring communication during the postnatal period and child development. Impacts of environmental contaminants on EV miRNA in breast milk are largely unknown. Our pilot study examined the relationships of metal exposures during the periconceptional and prenatal periods with breast milk-derived EV miRNA. Methods: EV miRNA were extracted from breast milk samples collected approximately 6 weeks postpartum from participants (N=54) in the New Hampshire Birth Cohort Study. 799 miRNA were profiled using the NanoString nCounter platform; 200 miRNA were widely detectable and retained for downstream analyses. Exposure to five metals (arsenic, manganese, mercury, lead, and selenium) during the periconceptional and prenatal periods was measured in maternal toenail clippings collected at two time points. Metal-miRNA associations were evaluated using covariate-adjusted robust linear regression models. Results: In this preliminary analysis, we found 12 miRNA to be inversely associated with As exposure in the periconceptional period and 42 miRNA to be inversely associated with As exposure in the prenatal period. Four miRNA were inversely associated with As exposure at both time points (miR-106b-5p, miR-152-3p, miR-429, miR-1234-3p). Associations for other metals showed potential trends which motivate further investigation in a larger study. Conclusions: In a pilot study of participants in northern New England, we identified four miRNA that were inversely associated with both periconceptional and prenatal As exposure and an additional set of miRNA that were inversely associated with As exposure in a time-dependent manner. In future studies, we plan to expand the number of participants with these measures to investigate multiple metal exposures simultaneously using environmental mixture modeling approaches, examine possible downstream consequences for children’s health, and conduct validation studies in other cohorts.

The role of stress-activated RNA–protein granules in surviving adversity (2021)

Severe environmental stress can trigger a plethora of physiological changes and, in the process, significant cytoplasmic reorganization. Stress-activated RNA-protein granules have been implicated in this cellular overhaul by sequestering preexisting mRNAs and influencing their fates during and after stress acclimation. While the composition and dynamics of stress-activated granule formation have been well studied, their function and impact on RNA-cargo has remained murky. Several recent studies challenge the view that these granules degrade and silence mRNAs present at the onset of stress and instead suggest new roles for these structures in mRNA storage, transit, and inheritance. Here we discuss recent evidence for revised models of stress-activated granule functions and the role of these granules in stress survival and recovery.

Agrobacterium tumefaciensT-DNA Integration and Gene Targeting inArabidopsis thalianaNon-Homologous End-Joining Mutants (2012)

In order to study the role of AtKu70 and AtKu80 in Agrobacterium -mediated transformation and gene targeting, plant lines with a T-DNA insertion in AtKu80 or AtKu70 genes were functionally characterized. Such plant lines lacked both subunits, indicating that heterodimer formation between AtKu70 and AtKu80 is needed for the stability of the proteins. Homozygous mutants were phenotypically indistinguishable from wild-type plants and were fertile. However, they were hypersensitive to the genotoxic agent bleomycin, resulting in more DSBs as quantified in comet assays. They had lower end-joining efficiency, suggesting that NHEJ is a critical pathway for DSB repair in plants. Both Atku mutants and a previously isolated Atmre11 mutant were impaired in Agrobacterium T-DNA integration via floral dip transformation, indicating that AtKu70, AtKu80, and AtMre11 play an important role in T-DNA integration in Arabidopsis . The frequency of gene targeting was not significantly increased in the Atku80 and Atku70 mutants, but it was increased at least 10-fold in the Atmre11 mutant compared with the wild type.

A Study on Integrated OWC System within Turbine Effects (2010)

Oscillating Water Column is one of the most widely used converting systems all over the world. The operating performance is influenced by the efficiencies of the two converting stages in the OWC chamber-turbine integrated system. In order to study the effects of the pressure drop induced by the air turbine, the experiments using the impulse turbine and the orifice device are carried out in the wave simulator test rig. The numerical simulation utilizing the orifice and porous media modules is calculated and validated by the corresponding experimental data. The numerical wave tank based on the two-phase VOF model embedded with the above modules is employed to investigate the wave elevation, pressure variation inside the chamber and the air flow velocity in the duct. The effects of the air turbine on the integrated system and interaction among the wave elevation, pressure and air flow velocities variations are investigated, which demonstrates that the present numerical model are more accurate to be employed.

Beyond 5G Resource Slicing With Mixed-Numerologies for Mission Critical URLLC and eMBB Coexistence (2023)

Network slicing has been a significant technological advance in the 5G mobile network allowing delivery of diverse and demanding requirements. The slicing grants the ability to create customized virtual networks from the underlying physical network, while each virtual network can serve a different purpose. One of the main challenges yet is the allocation of resources to different slices, both to best serve different services and to use the resources in the most optimal way. In this paper, we study the radio resource slicing problem for Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) as two prominent use cases. The URLLC and eMBB traffic is multiplexed over multiple numerologies in 5G New Radio, depending on their distinct service requirements. Therein, we present our optimization algorithm, Mixed-numerology Mini-slot based Resource Allocation (MiMRA), to minimize the impact on eMBB data rate due to puncturing by different URLLC traffic classes. Our strategy controls such impact by introducing a puncturing rate threshold. Further, we propose a scheduling mechanism that maximizes the sum rate of all eMBB users while maintaining the minimum data rate requirement of each eMBB user. The results obtained by simulation confirm the applicability of our proposed resource allocation algorithm.
Coat-and-print patterning of silver nanowires for flexible and transparent electronics (2019)

Abstract Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) possess excellent optoelectronic properties, which have led to many technology-focused applications of transparent and flexible electronics. Many of these applications require patterning of Ag NWs into desired shapes, for which mask-based and printing-based techniques have been developed and widely used. However, there are still several limitations associated to these techniques. These limitations, such as complicated patterning procedures, limited patterning area, and compromised optical transparency, hamper the efficient fabrication of high-performance Ag NW patterns. Here, we propose a coat-and-print approach for effectively patterning Ag NWs. We printed a polymer-based ink on the spin-coated Ag NW films. The ink acts as a protective layer to help remove excess Ag NWs from the substrate and then dissolves itself into an organic solvent. In this way, we can take advantage of both coating-based techniques (lead to Ag NWs with high transparency) and printing-based techniques (efficiently pattern diverse shapes). The resultant Ag NW patterns exhibit comparable conductivity (sheet resistance: 7.1 to 30 Ohm/sq) and transparency (transmittance: 84 to 95% at λ = 550 nm) to those made by conventional coating methods. In addition, the patterned Ag NWs exhibit robust mechanical stability and reliability, surviving extensive bending and peeling tests. Due to higher conductivity, efficient patterning ability and inherent transparency, this material system and application method is highly suitable for transparent and flexible electronics. As a proof of concept, this research demonstrates a wide-band antenna, operating in the mm-wave range that includes the 5G communication band. The proposed antenna exhibits a wide bandwidth of 26 GHz (from 17.9 GHz to 44 GHz), robust return loss under 1000 cyclic bending (bending radius of 3.5 mm), and decent transparency over the entire visible wavelength (86.8% transmittance at λ = 550 nm). This work’s promising results indicate that this method can be adapted for roll-to-roll manufacturing to efficiently produce patterned and optically transparent devices.
Modernism, Mind, and Manuscripts (2013)

If manuscripts are relics of the workings of the mind, it is understandable that many literary modernists preserved them, and this act of preservation can be linked to the content of their works. In order to present a world as a world-as-perceived, writers need to be keen observers of the way intelligent agents experience the world. While performing their research, modernist writers construe their own Umwelt, typically by means of manuscripts, which can be regarded as part of what in cognitive philosophy is often referred to as the “extended mind”. This chapter investigates the role of manuscripts in these “construals.” It explores how manuscripts serve as “environmental vehicles” that open perspectives for genetic criticism. The chapter presents a suitable case study to examine the topical issue regarding the interplay of modernism, mind, and manuscripts.

Use of a novel antigen expressing system to study the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi protein recognition by T cells (2017)

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the causative agent of the typhoid fever, is a pathogen of great public health importance. Typhoid vaccines have the potential to be cost-effective measures towards combating this disease, yet the antigens triggering host protective immune responses are largely unknown. Given the key role of cellular-mediated immunity in S. Typhi protection, it is crucial to identify S. Typhi proteins involved in T-cell responses. Here, cells from individuals immunized with Ty21a typhoid vaccine were collected before and after immunization and used as effectors. We also used an innovative antigen expressing system based on the infection of B-cells with recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) expressing one of four S. Typhi gene products (i.e., SifA, OmpC, FliC, GroEL) as targets. Using flow cytometry, we found that the pattern of response to specific S. Typhi proteins was variable. Some individuals responded to all four proteins while others responded to only one or two proteins. We next evaluated whether T-cells responding to recombinant E. coli also possess the ability to respond to purified proteins. We observed that CD4+ cell responses, but not CD8+ cell responses, to recombinant E. coli were significantly associated with the responses to purified proteins. Thus, our results demonstrate the feasibility of using an E. coli expressing system to uncover the antigen specificity of T-cells and highlight its applicability to vaccine studies. These results also emphasize the importance of selecting the stimuli appropriately when evaluating CD4+ and CD8+ cell responses.
Development of a spatially controllable chemical vapor deposition reactor with combinatorial processing capabilities (2005)

Most conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) systems do not have the spatial actuation and sensing capabilities necessary to control deposition uniformity or to intentionally induce nonuniform deposition patterns for single-wafer combinatorial CVD experiments. In an effort to address these limitations, a novel CVD reactor system has been developed that can explicitly control the spatial profile of gas-phase chemical composition across the wafer surface. This paper discusses the construction of a prototype reactor system featuring a three-zone, segmented showerhead design. Experiments are performed to assess the ability of this reactor system to deposit tungsten films by the hydrogen reduction process; segment-to-segment process recipes are controlled to deposit spatially nonuniform W films. The capabilities of this reactor system for materials discovery research are discussed.
