Regional Beach Sand Volumes of the Pacific Northwest, USA (1991)

Eight small littoral cells ranging from 5-60 km in length have been surveyed by beach profiling and seismic refraction to establish active beach sand volumes in the Pacific Northwest region. Regional tectonic uplift in this convergent margin setting has produced shallow wave-cut platforms (1-3 m depth subsurface) under beaches of variable width (150-450 m). Thicker beach deposits are located in barrier spits and over wave-cut platforms lowered by local erosion and tectonic down warping. Cross-section areas of beach transects range from 15 to 3,425 m 2 , while cross-section areas above MHHW (an indicator of shoreline erosional susceptibility) range from 0 to 528 m 2 . Maximum MHHW cross-section areas south of bounding headlands and jetty structures in six of the eight cells suggest a small, net northward littoral transport in the study region. Total cell sand volumes range from 0.6 × 10 6 to 90 × 10 6 m 3 while longshore normalized, total sand volumes (cubic meters per meter shoreline) range from 77 to 1,489 m 3 in the eight study cells, indicating extremely variable sand supply in this complex coastal zone.
Flotation of chalcopyrite in water containing bacteria (2012)

The use of multiple sources of water supply and introducing water reuse in mineral processing have been part of the operating philosophy for the minerals industry to save freshwater and reduce mine water discharge. A consequence of implementing these practices is that water quality can be compromised, which in turn can impact flotation performance. A number of studies have shown that dissolved abiotic watet constituents can have different effects on flotation performance depending on the operating conditions and reagent regimes. However, far less is known about the impacts and processes associated with biotic water constituents, including microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the effect of bacteria (E. coli) on mineral (chalcopyrite) flotation performance using both microflotation and scale-up batch flotation tests. Microflotation results indicated that the presence of E. coli in water had an adverse effect on the flotation of chalcopyrite. The magnitude of the adverse effect increased with the increase of bacterial cell concentration. The adverse effect could be mitigated to different extents by increasing the collector concentration depending on the bacterial cell concentration. The adverse effect was also observed in batch flotation tests. Froth images taken showed that the bubble size and bubble load were affected by the presence of the bacteria.
Constrained Sensor System Resolves Closely Spaced Obscured Low-SNR Sources Using Virtual Beamforming (2013)

We present a high-resolution capability for systems constrained in the number of elements (measurements) due to size, weight, and power that operate in harsh signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environments through virtual beamforming. The high resolution is created by applying a conventional beamformer to a virtual measurement data set. The virtual measurement data is made up of original measurements extended with vector extrapolated measurements. We derive the SNR of this new virtual system and show that, in the case of perfect extrapolation, we are within a constant of the true SNR (if we had that many sensor measurements). Simulations show the super-resolution capability of resolving the two closely spaced, equal-powered low-SNR sources, in the presence of a third closely spaced dominant source (15 dB larger signal power) with a limited number of measurements. In a second case, the virtual beamforming technique again resolves two low-SNR sources that are even closer while high-resolution techniques fall short due to the harsh environments. In both cases, the algorithm is shown to be robust in noise through Monte Carlo simulations. We provide the computational cost to achieve this high-resolution capability.

DoriTool: A Bioinformatics Integrative Tool for Post-Association Functional Annotation (2017)

The emergence of high-throughput data in biology has increased the need for functional in silico analysis and prompted the development of integrative bioinformatics tools to facilitate the obtainment of biologically meaningful data. In this paper, we present DoriTool, a comprehensive, easy, and friendly pipeline integrating biological data from different functional tools. The tool was designed with the aim to maximize reproducibility and reduce the working time of the researchers, especially of those with limited bioinformatics skills, and to help them with the interpretation of the results. DoriTool is based upon an integrative strategy implemented following a modular design pattern. Using scripts written in Bash, Perl and R, it performs a functional in silico analysis annotation at mutation/variant level, gene level, pathway level and network level by combining up-to-date functional and genomic data and integrating also third-party bioinformatics tools in a pipeline. DoriTool uses GRCh37 human assembly and online mode. DoriTool provides nice visual reports including variant annotation, linkage disequilibrium proxies, gene annotation, gene ontology analysis, expression quantitative trait loci results from Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) and coloured pathways. Here, we also show DoriTool functionalities by applying it to a dataset of 13 variants associated with prostate cancer. Project development, released code libraries, GitHub repository (https://github.com/doritool) and documentation are hosted at https://doritool.github.io/. DoriTool is, to our knowledge, the most complete bioinformatics tool offering functional in silico annotation of variants previously associated with a trait of interest, shedding light on the underlying biology and helping the researchers in the interpretation and discussion of the results.
Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia Induces Airflow Limitation in a Rodent Model of Allergen‐Induced Lower Airway Inflammation (2013)

Rationale Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) aggravates asthma, but the mechanisms are unclear. Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is one hallmark feature of OSA. We tested the effects of CIH on lower airways in an ovalbumin (OVA) rodent model. Methods Four groups (n=5–6/group) of Brown‐Norway rats underwent CIH (10% FiO2, 30 episodes/h, 10h/day for 30 days) vs. normoxia (NORM) and OVA vs. vehicle (VEH). Lung physiology and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) WBC differentials were compared between groups, 2 days after last challenge. Results On lung physiology: 1) CIH reduced the Forced Expiratory Volume in 0.1 second (FEV 0.1 ) to Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) ratio (FEV 0.1 /FVC) (p=0.008) and peak expiratory flow (p=0.03); OVA did not affect these measures. 2) FVC was increased by CIH (p=0.0009), but reduced by OVA (p &lt;0.0001). In the BAL: 1) CIH did not change total cell counts (p = 0.25); 2) CIH induced a 2.3‐fold reduction in % eosinophils (p = 0.001); 3) In OVA‐challenged rats, CIH increased neutrophil fraction among infiltrating granulocytes (p = 0.03, Figure). Conclusions CIH induces airflow limitation even in the absence of inhaled allergen. CIH induces a more neutrophil‐predominant response to allergen. These findings highlight the potential of OSA to aggravate lung dysfunction in patients with pre‐existent airway inflammation. Supported by UW‐Madison Department of Medicine Pilot Funding.
Multi-Omics Studies towards Novel Modulators of Influenza A Virus–Host Interaction (2016)

Human influenza A viruses (IAVs) cause global pandemics and epidemics. These viruses evolve rapidly, making current treatment options ineffective. To identify novel modulators of IAV-host interactions, we re-analyzed our recent transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, and genomics/virtual ligand screening data. We identified 713 potential modulators targeting 199 cellular and two viral proteins. Anti-influenza activity for 48 of them has been reported previously, whereas the antiviral efficacy of the 665 remains unknown. Studying anti-influenza efficacy and immuno/neuro-modulating properties of these compounds and their combinations as well as potential viral and host resistance to them may lead to the discovery of novel modulators of IAV-host interactions, which might be more effective than the currently available anti-influenza therapeutics.
Lessons Learned From Six Decades Of Radio Polarimetry (2018)

The characterization of polarized emission from continuum radiation and spectral lines across large-scale galactic and extragalactic fields is a typical application of single-dish telescopes, from radio to far-infrared wavelengths. Despite its high analytical value, in many cases polarimetry was added to the design specifications of telescopes and their frontends only in advanced development stages. While in some situations the instrumental contamination of the Stokes parameters can be corrected, this becomes increasingly difficult for extended fields. This contribution summarizes the current situation at mm/submm telescopes. Strategies for post-observing polarization calibration are presented as well as methods to optimize the components in the beam path.
Infeasibility Detection and SQP Methods for Nonlinear Optimization (2010)

This paper addresses the need for nonlinear programming algorithms that provide fast local convergence guarantees regardless of whether a problem is feasible or infeasible. We present a sequential quadratic programming method derived from an exact penalty approach that adjusts the penalty parameter automatically, when appropriate, to emphasize feasibility over optimality. The superlinear convergence of such an algorithm to an optimal solution is well known when a problem is feasible. The main contribution of this paper, however, is a set of conditions under which the superlinear convergence of the same type of algorithm to an infeasible stationary point can be guaranteed when a problem is infeasible. Numerical experiments illustrate the practical behavior of the method on feasible and infeasible problems.
Cranial Base Features in Skeletal Class III Patients (2007)

Decreased basicranial angulation associated with Class III mandibular protrusion was clearly confirmed for skeletal Class III patients. Overall shortening of the cranial base apparently resulted from various minor alterations. The results are compatible with the deficient orthocephalization hypothesis of Class III morphogenesis. The basicranial-maxillary relationship in skeletal Class III remains unclear.

Microfluidic perfusion culture of human induced pluripotent stem cell in microchamber array chip (2013)

This paper reports on the microfluidic perfusion culture of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) under fully defined culture condition. By screening various ECMs we determined that fibronectin and laminin are appropriate for microfluidic devices made out of the most popular material, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). We found that the growth rate of hiPSCs under pressure-driven perfusion culture conditions was higher than under static culture conditions in the microchamber array. We believe that our system will be a platform technology for future large-scale screening of fully defined conditions for differentiation cultures on integrated microfluidic devices.
Correction: The Effect of Raltegravir Intensification on Low-level Residual Viremia in HIV-Infected Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2011)

Background: Most HIV-1-infected patients on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) with plasma HIV-1 RNA levels below the detection limits of commercial assays have residual viremia measurable by more sensitive methods. We assessed whether adding raltegravir lowered the level of residual viremia in such patients.
Clinical Recovery and Circulating Botulinum Toxin Type F in Adult Patient (2009)

A 56-year-old woman in Helena, Montana, USA, who showed clinical signs of paralysis, received antitoxins to botulinum toxins A, B, and E within 24 hours; nevertheless, symptoms progressed to complete quadriplegia. On day 8, she began moving spontaneously, even though blood tests later showed botulinum toxin type F remained.
Cyclin-Dependent Kinases and P53 Pathways Are Activated Independently and Mediate Bax Activation in Neurons after DNA Damage (2001)

DNA damage has been implicated as one important initiator of cell death in neuropathological conditions such as stroke. Accordingly, it is important to understand the signaling processes that control neuronal death induced by this stimulus. Previous evidence has shown that the death of embryonic cortical neurons treated with the DNA-damaging agent camptothecin is dependent on the tumor suppressor p53 and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity and that the inhibition of either pathway alone leads to enhanced and prolonged survival. We presently show that p53 and CDKs are activated independently on parallel pathways. An increase in p53 protein levels, nuclear localization, and DNA binding that result from DNA damage are not affected by the inhibition of CDK activity. Conversely, no decrease in retinoblastoma protein (pRb) phosphorylation was observed in p53-deficient neurons that were treated with camptothecin. However, either p53 deficiency or the inhibition of CDK activity alone inhibited Bax translocation, cytochrome c release, and caspase-3-like activation. Taken together, our results indicate that p53 and CDK are activated independently and then act in concert to control Bax-mediated apoptosis.
Remodelling a shp: Transmetalation in a Rare-Earth Cluster-Based Metal–Organic Framework (2021)

Postsynthetic modification of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an important strategy for accessing MOF analogues that cannot be easily synthesized de novo. In this work, the rare-earth (RE) cluster-based MOF Y-CU-10 with <b>shp</b> topology was modified through transmetalation using a series of RE ions, including La(III), Nd(III), Eu(III), Tb(III), Er(III), Tm(III), and Yb(III). In all cases, metal exchange higher than 70% was observed, with reproducible results. All transmetalated materials were fully characterized and compared to the parent MOF Y-CU-10 with regard to crystallinity, surface area, and morphology. Additionally, single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements were performed to provide further evidence of transmetalation occurring in the nonanuclear cluster nodes of the MOF.

Long-Term Stability of PVD/Sputtered Au Electrical Contacts to Thermoelectric Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>2</sub>: Re-evaluation of SAND2015-7203 (2022)

The fabrication of long-lived electrical contacts to thermoelectric Bi 2 Te 3 -based modules is a challenging problem due to chemical incompatibilities and rapid diffusion rates. Previously, technical guidance from SAND report 2015-7203 selected electroplated Au as the preferred method for fabrication of long-lived contacts because of concerns that the grain structure of sputtered/physical vapor deposited (PVD) Au contacts can evolve during aging. We have re- evaluated PVD Au contacts and show that they are appropriate for long-life service. We measure grain size and morphology at different aging times under accelerated temperature gradient conditions, and we show that the PVD Au contacts are stable and remain relatively unchanged. The PVD Au fabricated here is not subject to the deterioration observed in the previous report.

NEW FINDINGS IN THE RICHTER REACTION IN SERIES OF VICINAL ALKYNYLPYRAZOLYLDIAZONIUM SALTS (1998)

When treated with sodium nitrite in hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid, positional isomers of v/'c-alkynylaminopyrazoles were transformed to the pyrazolopyridazines via cyclization of the corresponding alkynylpyrazolyldiazonium salt. The reaction was found to depend on the position of alkynyl and diazonium group in pyrazole nuclei: the heterocyclization of 5-alkynylpyrazolyl-4diazonium salts underwent at 100-105 C and gave 7-chloro-1 //-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridazines; the heterocyclization of 4-alkynylpyrazolyl-3-diazonium salts at 50-60 C gave 6-hydroxy-2//pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazines as major component and 6-halogeno-2//-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazines as minor component; the cyclization of 3-alkynylpyrazolyl-4-diazonium salts accompanying with methyl group migration towards the neighbouring nitrogen atom afforded 7-chloro-1//pyrazolo [4,3 -cjpyridazines.

Carbon doped InAlAs/InGaAs/InAs heterostructures: Tuning from n- to p-doping (2011)

We fabricated carbon doped InAs/InxGa1−xAs/InxAl1−xAs heterostructures, which show p-type and n-type conductivity for different In contents. Two-dimensional hole gas in a structure with x=0.75 has been prepared in the ternary compound, despite the fact that carbon as an n-type dopant in InAs exhibits electron conductivity in InxGa1−xAs and InxAl1−xAs compounds with high indium content. A special doping design has been employed to obtain hole conductivity. As a result, the conductivity can be tuned from n-type to p-type with the In content and with different doping profiles in these structures.
Observations of atmospheric oxidation and ozone production in South Korea (2021)

South Korea routinely experiences poor air quality with ozone and small particles exceeding air quality standards. To build a better understanding of this problem, in 2016, the KORea-United States cooperative Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) study collected surface and airborne measurements of many chemical species, including the reactive gases hydroxyl (OH) and hydroperpoxyl (HO2). Several different results are reported here. First, OH and HO2 measured on the NASA DC-8 agree to within uncertainties with values calculated by two different box models, both in statistical comparisons and as a function of altitude from the surface to 8 km. These comparisons show substantial scatter, likely due to both variability in instrument performance and the difficulty in interpolating measurements made with frequencies different from those of the model time step. Second, OH and HO2 calculated by a model including HO2 uptake on aerosol particles in the chemical mechanism are inconsistent with observations. Third, in the planetary boundary layer over both ocean and land, measured and model-calculated OH reactivity are sometimes different, and this missing OH reactivity, which is as much as ∼4 s−1, increased from April to June and originated primarily from the Korean peninsula. Fourth, repeated missed approaches at the Seoul Air Base during several days show that the changes in the sum of ozone and nitrogen dioxide are consistent with ozone production rates calculated from HO2 either observed or modeled by the Langley Research Center model.
Design of a customizable, modular pediatric exoskeleton for rehabilitation and mobility (2019)

Powered exoskeletons for gait rehabilitation and mobility assistance are currently available for the adult population and hold great promise for children with mobility limiting conditions. Described here is the development and key features of a modular, lightweight and customizable powered exoskeleton for assist-as-needed overground walking and gait rehabilitation. The pediatric lower-extremity gait system (PLEGS) exoskeleton contains bilaterally active hip, knee and ankle joints and assist-as-needed shared control for young children with lower-limb disabilities such as those present in the Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida and Spinal Cord Injured populations. The system is comprised of six joint control modules, one at each hip, knee and ankle joint. The joint control module, features an actuator and motor driver, microcontroller, torque sensor to enable assist-as-needed control, inertial measurement unit and system monitoring sensors. Bench-testing results for the proposed joint control module are also presented and discussed.

A Future View of a Multi-Camera Tracking System in "Organized Session: SICE City" (2006)

In this paper, we will discuss a multi-camera tracking system, where we place a stress on a highway through vehicle plate recognition. Generally, recognizing a vehicle plate for a toll-gate system or parking system is easier than recognizing a car plate for the highway system. There are many cameras installed on the highway to capture images and every camera has different angles of images. As a result, the images are captured in varied imaging conditions and not focusing on the vehicle itself. Therefore, we need a system that is able to recognize the object first. However, such a system consumes a large amount of time to complete the whole process. To overcome this drawback, we installed this process with grid computing as a solution and a future view of a multi-camera tracking system. We construct a multi-camera tracking system that consists of many cameras, a grid computer system, a data base and a network. Each camera provides a view of some limited partial space out of the vast universe. These partial views obtained by plural cameras re-build the spatial universe in the system. The grid computer system provides with the car plate recognition system. The data base provides the linked information obtained through many cameras and car plate recognition system. The network connects all grid computer subsystems with the data base system
