The Power to Activate a Creative Core in Enterprise (2010)

A wide range of products and services has been commoditized as a result of globalization, and a lot of companies have been progressively working to draw on the knowledge creation of their employees to be more competitive. In this respect, some would argue that a "Creative Class" of employees determines the business results of a company. Social networking among employees is a platform for creativity, so when management supports such social networks, the strength of the organization increases. In this paper, we present a quantitative association from our previous research and a theoretical contemplation to provide a management method between the communication of employees and organizational collaboration. Further, we take the case of a company, which is an ICT (Information and Communication Technology) system integrator, using an RFID system, and confirm whether there are causal relationships through a multiple regression analysis of Bayesian statistics. As a result, we found that the egocentric collaboration networks of the Creative Core grew by activating communications (sending emails) among employees. Further, we propose some implications that allow control of collaboration within a company by encouraging communication of the "Creative Core," that is, the central members of the Creative Class by considering the results of this and previous research.

Plasmid integration in yeast : conceptions and misconceptions (2001)

Integration of exogenous DNA into the yeast genome occurs by homologous recombination and is both directed and stimulated by the presence of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in transforming DNA. Repair of the break with or without plasmid integration occurs with equal probability and it is generally assumed that no information is lost or gained during this process. However, some important assumptions of current models are challenged by the results obtained by our group. First, we showed that rare illegitimate integrations may also occur in the presence of homology in the yeast genome and that integration in homology does not always result in reconstruction of the functional allele. Second, the presence of point mutations in double-stranded, but not in single-stranded plasmid, decreased integration in homology. However this antirecombinogenic effect was not proportional to the number of mutations. Third, targeted integrations were strongly suppressed by the presence of short heterologous sequences at the ends of the linearized plasmid. Terminal heterology is not always eliminated during integration and this process can lead to the generation of new alleles. In our experimental system, less then 10% of transformants that repaired DSB present on the replicative plasmid contained the plasmid sequence in their chromosomal DNA. We propose that the plasmid integration can be stimulated by repair processes operating on the hybrid DNA formed during recombination
Community Socioeconomic Deprivation and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Severity (2019)

Children with NAFLD were found across the spectrum of deprivation. Although children from more deprived neighborhoods present at a younger age, they exhibit the same degree of NAFLD severity as their peers from less deprived areas.
Boron Subphthalocyanine Chloride as an Electron Acceptor for High‐Voltage Fullerene‐Free Organic Photovoltaics (2011)

Abstract High‐efficiency fullerene‐free single‐heterojunction (SHJ) organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells consisting of tetracene (Tc) as a typical donor material and boron subphthalocyanine chloride (SubPc) as an acceptor material are reported. Cells containing SubPc as a direct replacement for C 60 exhibit an ∼60% improvement in open circuit voltage ( V oc ) achieving a maximum V oc of 1.24 V, which is amongst the highest values acheived to date for SHJ devices. This resulted in an overall improvement of ∼60% in power conversion efficiency from 1.8%, for Tc/C 60 cells, to 2.9% for Tc/SubPc. The OPV device results are complemented by soft X–ray photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) measurements of the interfacial energetics of both systems. The results demonstrate that SubPc shows considerable promise as an electron acceptor material for future cell designs.
Brainstem involvement in Unverricht–Lundborg disease (EPM1): An MRI and 1 H MRS study (2002)

MRI of the brain and proton MRS ((1)H MRS) of the pons and dentate were obtained in 10 patients with genetically confirmed Unverricht-Lundborg disease (EPM1) and 20 control subjects. Patients with EPM1 showed (p < or = 0.01) loss of bulk of the basis pontis, medulla, and cerebellar hemispheres. Cerebral atrophy was present in six patients. The N-acetylaspartate/creatine and choline/creatine ratios were reduced in the pons but not in the dentate (p < or = 0.005). Brainstem involvement could play a role in pathophysiology of EPM1.
What does “isomorphism between conscious representations and the structure of the world” mean? (2002)

Perruchet &amp; Vinter's provocative article challenges a series of interesting issues, yet the concept of isomorphism is troublesome for a series of reasons: (1) isomorphism entails some sort of dualism; (2) isomorphism does not entail that a piece of the world is a representation; and (3) it is extremely difficult to provide an explanation about the nature of the relation of isomorphism.
How to Chemically Tailor Metal-Porphyrin-Like Active Sites on Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Minimal Overpotential in the Electrochemical Oxygen Evolution and Oxygen Reduction Reactions (2014)

Density functional theory calculations are used to study the energetics of the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of water and the reverse oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on metal-porphyrin-like centers incorporated into graphene layers or single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The objective is to explore the reductions in computational thermodynamic overpotential that can be achieved relative to catalysis on metal oxide surfaces (OER) or platinum (ORR) by varying the metal center and axial ligand. This permits a degree of simultaneous control over the free energy gap between the lowest energy OH and highest energy OOH intermediates, and the position of the oxo (O) intermediate in this gap. Optimal choice of metal toward the right of the first transition series largely controls the gap. Given a suitable metal such as Fe, the overpotential for OER can be tuned over a range greater than 0.35 V by choice of the axial ligand. For OER occurring within the SWCNTs, a minimum predicted overpotential of 0.35 V is found, very close to the gap-imposed limit of 0.30 V for this system. Similarly, the overpotential of ORR can be tuned over a range more than 0.30 V by selection of the axial ligand. While the calculations necessarily have limited accuracy, the principles should provide a transferable path toward overpotential optimization for the OER and ORR.
A microgradient elution system for capillary electrochromatography (2000)

A simple, easy-to assemble gradient generator for capillary electrochromatography is described. Using a homologous mixture of alkylphenones and a macroporous polyacrylic separation matrix, we demonstrate the feasibility of either stepwise or continuous gradients to be performed in a reproducible manner. ©2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

EpCAMhigh and EpCAMlow circulating tumor cells in metastatic prostate and breast cancer patients (2018)

The presence of high expressing epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM<sup>high</sup>) circulating tumor cells (CTC) enumerated by CellSearch<sup>®</sup> in blood of cancer patients is strongly associated with poor prognosis. This raises the question about the presence and relation with clinical outcome of low EpCAM expressing CTC (EpCAM<sup>low</sup> CTC). In the EU-FP7 CTC-Trap program, we investigated the presence of EpCAM<sup>high</sup> and EpCAM<sup>low</sup> CTC using CellSearch, followed by microfiltration of the EpCAM<sup>high</sup> CTC depleted blood. Blood samples of 108 castration-resistant prostate cancer patients and 22 metastatic breast cancer patients were processed at six participating sites, using protocols and tools developed in the CTC-Trap program. Of the prostate cancer patients, 53% had ≥5 EpCAM<sup>high</sup> CTC and 28% had ≥5 EpCAM<sup>low</sup> CTC. For breast cancer patients, 32% had ≥5 EpCAM<sup>high</sup> CTC and 36% had ≥5 EpCAM<sup>low</sup> CTC. 70% of prostate cancer patients and 64% of breast cancer patients had in total ≥5 EpCAM<sup>high</sup> and/or EpCAM<sup>low</sup> CTC, increasing the number of patients in whom CTC are detected. Castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with ≥5 EpCAM<sup>high</sup> CTC had shorter overall survival versus those with <5 EpCAM<sup>high</sup> CTC (<i>p</i> = 0.000). However, presence of EpCAM<sup>low</sup> CTC had no relation with overall survival. This emphasizes the importance to demonstrate the relation with clinical outcome when presence of CTC identified with different technologies are reported, as different CTC subpopulations can have different relations with clinical outcome.
A Machine-Learning Approach to Correcting Non-Ideal Background Currents in Disordered Self-Assembled Monolayers (2021)

In traditional studies of electroactive molecules tethered to metal surfaces through well-ordered self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), cyclic voltammetry is the primary tool used to measure the coverage of the tethered molecules. The charge under the peak in the voltammogram is directly proportional to the coverage of the redox-active molecules. Accurate coverage measurements are possible because well-ordered SAMs exhibit ideal background currents which are easy to subtract from the total current to isolate the SAMs faradaic current. However, for disordered electroactive SAMs with poor surface blocking properties, specific interactions with the metal substrate create non-ideal background currents which are difficult to separate from the SAMs faradaic current. Although analytical approaches exist to account for background currents in other electrochemical systems, they have some fundamental limitations that impede their practical application to electroactive SAMs.
Martensitic Transformation Behavior of B‐Bearing Steel During Isothermal Deformation (2012)

Abstract The purpose of the present research is to study the martensitic transformation in 22MnB5 steel under thermomechanical conditions by means of dilatation data. To reach this aim, the effects of deformation temperature and strain rate on the martensitic dilatation as well as martensite start temperature ( M s ) were investigated. Thermomechanical treatments were performed in a deformation dilatometer including the isothermal deformation of samples in the temperature range of 550–900°C up to the final strain of 0.5 in three strain rates of 0.1, 1, and 10 s −1 . Finally, deformation temperatures were divided into two regimes of lower and higher than 800°C. In the former, strain‐induced phase transformations, while in the latter, occurrence of dynamic recovery against mechanical stabilization of austenite influenced martensitic transformation.
Fast Differentially Private Matrix Factorization (2015)

Differentially private collaborative filtering is a challenging task, both in terms of accuracy and speed. We present a simple algorithm that is provably differentially private, while offering good performance, using a novel connection of differential privacy to Bayesian posterior sampling via Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics. Due to its simplicity the algorithm lends itself to efficient implementation. By careful systems design and by exploiting the power law behavior of the data to maximize CPU cache bandwidth we are able to generate 1024 dimensional models at a rate of 8.5 million recommendations per second on a single PC.
The effect of strain rate on solvent crazing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in solutions of poly(ethylene oxide) of various molecular masses (2010)

The effect of strain rate on the behavior of PET during its tensile drawing in highly viscous liquids, such as liquid PEG (M 400) and semidilute solutions of PEO (M = (4 × 104)−(1 × 106)), is studied. With an increase in strain rate, the mechanism of tensile drawing of PET in PEG changes from solvent crazing to shearing; at the same time, over the selected interval of strain rates, tensile drawing of PET in semidilute solutions of PEO proceeds via the mechanism of solvent crazing. During tensile drawing of PET in PEO solutions, the behavior of PET is almost the same as the mechanism of tensile drawing in a pure solvent. This result indicates that, in the course of flow of the polymer solution through the formed porous structure, PEO is filtered off in the local tip region of the growing craze.
A loop closure hierarchy to improve the robustness of a wearable vision+inertial navigation system (2018)

Critical for the design and development of future space exploration mission vehicles is the effective quantification of astronaut 3D movement and orientation within a long-duration microgravity environment. The International Space Station (ISS) provides a unique opportunity to capture and quantify the architectural layout and 3D space utilization in a microgravity environment from the astronauts living and working there. The design and architecture of future space exploration vehicles requires critical information gathered from the ISS human-system operational environment in order to provide a minimum net habitable volume (NHV) for these systems. This paper extends previous work, which evaluated multiple data selects collected from walking specified routes and performing representative “tasking” in the ISS mockup in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility (SVMF) at Johnson Space Center. Previous work evaluated Draper's Mischief algorithm, a robust vision+inertial algorithm that includes online sensor-timing error estimation, rigorous parameter optimization, and tuning for many operational environments and use cases to improve the robustness. Draper has developed a more robust state estimation algorithm, Smoothing And Mapping With Inertial State Estimation (SAMWISE), which replicates the vision+inertial navigation capability of the Mischief algorithm, but is capable of additionally incorporating “loop-closure” measurements. In this paper, we describe a two-tier loop-closure hierarchy. The first tier constrains short-duration movements such as gazing back and forth or hover-in-place modes to reduce estimator drift during short-duration but rapid motions. The second tier uses a landmark database to bound the long-duration drift, effectively decoupling the position error of the estimator from usage time when operating within a bounded environment. By leveraging the high-accuracy odometry output of SAMWISE when generating the landmark database, we avoid the need for any time-consuming survey or mapping process prior to operation in a new environment. We present results demonstrating that a landmark database generated by estimating a trajectory from a short traverse through a representative environment can be used to bound the error growth for subsequent and much longer trajectories.
Antiproliferative Effect of Adiponectin on MCF7 Breast Cancer Cells: A Potential Hormonal Link between Obesity and Cancer (2007)

Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, circulates at high concentrations in human plasma. Paradoxically, plasma levels of adiponectin are approximately 50% lower in obese than in lean subjects. An association between low plasma levels of adiponectin and higher risk of developing breast and other cancers was recently reported. Obesity and overweight have also been associated with increased mortality from cancer. To test the hypothesis that adiponectin exerts direct antiproliferative and/or pro-apoptotic effects on cancer cells, we used the MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cell line. The proliferation rate of the MCF7 cells was measured using the MTT method, while apoptosis was examined by quantifying the DNA fragmentation using an ELISA assay. In addition, adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and AdipoR2 mRNA expression was detected using RT-PCR. Adiponectin diminished the proliferation rate of MCF7 cells; this effect was significant after 48-96 hours of treatment. The presence of receptor expression suggested that the effect of adiponectin on cell proliferation was most likely specific and adiponectin receptor-mediated. Adiponectin induced no apoptosis of MCF7 cells over 48 hours. We conclude that adiponectin inhibits proliferation but causes no apoptosis of MCF7 breast cancer cells. These data suggest that adiponectin may represent a direct hormonal link between obesity and cancer.
A Distributed Algorithm for Sensor Fault Detection (2018)

In intelligent buildings, faults occurring to sensors are common due to external interference or the limited service life of sensors. In this paper, we propose a distributed fault detection algorithm based on energy balance. With the increase of building scale, the algorithm has higher efficiency and better adaptability than the commonly used centralized fault detection methods. The algorithm is suitable for failures of disconnected sensors or devices, and makes judgements on whether the devices and sensors are faulty by the energy balance relations of adjacent nodes. Theoretical analysis and simulation show that this algorithm has lower time complexity than centralized algorithm which is also based on energy balance.
Minimal Acute Cellular Rejection Remains Prevalent up to 2 Years After Lung Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis of 2697 Transbronchial Biopsies (2008)

Minimal ACR remains prevalent up to 2 years after lung transplantation. Previous occurrence of ACR was associated with an increased risk of subsequent ACR.
<title>Terahertz imaging system based on antenna-coupled microbolometers</title> (1998)

In the paper a novel passive submillimeter imaging system is presented. The operation is based on antenna-coupled microbolometer technology operating at room temperature. The demonstration system uses single pixel detector placed in the focus of a 60 cm diameter aluminum parabolic reflector. The primary mirror is tilted about its axis to scan an image at the target plane. The design bandwidth of bolometer spiral antenna is nominally from 300 micrometer (1 THz) upwards. The electrical noise equivalent power (NEP) is exceptionally low 1.5 (DOT) 10<SUP>-11</SUP> W/(root)Hz. Results presented in the paper indicate that the sensor technology is a possible solution in the future to produce large format imaging focal plane arrays for passive terahertz imaging.

Ultra‐Rapid Gradient Echo Imaging (1995)

A novel ultra-rapid gradient echo (URGE) NMR imaging technique is introduced, which is capable of continuous high resolution 3D scanning while neither subject to fast gradient switching nor excessive RF power deposition. Sampling free induction decays instead of creating spin echoes enables maintaining a workable steady state magnetization. Due to segmented k-space acquisition, chemical shift, diffusion, and field inhomogeneity effects do not present major problems. We report on implementations acquiring from 32 x 64 x 64 partial-Fourier image sets in 0.72 s, allowing for single-shot magnetization-prepared 3D imaging, to 128 x 128 x 128 image sets in 13.3 s and 21.5 s on a standard MRI scanner.
The influence of intercalator binding on DNA triplex stability: correlation with effects on A‐tract duplex structure (2004)

The triplex form of DNA is of interest because of a possible biological role as well as the potential therapeutic use of this structure. In this paper the stabilizing effects of two intercalating drugs, ethidium and the quinoxaline derivative 9-OH-B220, on DNA triplexes have been studied by thermal denaturation measurements. The corresponding duplex structures of the DNA triplex systems investigated are either A-tract or normal B-DNA. The largest increases in the triplex melting temperatures caused by the intercalators were found for sequences having A-tract duplex structures. Inserting a single base pair with an N2-amino group in the minor groove, e.g. a G-C pair, breaks up the A-tract duplex structure and also reduces the stabilizing effect of the drugs on the triplex melting temperatures. The large drug-induced increase in triplex melting temperature for complexes having an original duplex A-tract structure is correlated with a low initial melting point of the triplex, not with the triplex being unusually stable in the presence of the drug. Hence, we conclude that the large thermal stabilizing effect exhibited by ethidium and 9-OH-B220 on dTn.dAn-dTn triplexes is partly caused by the intercalators breaking up the intrinsic A-tract structure of the underlying duplex.

A new apparatus to measure the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers (1976)

Abstract A new apparatus has been constructed to measure the thermal conductivity and the thermal diffusivity of reactive and nonreactive liquids and solids. The method used consists in suddenly subjecting the test specimen to a thermal flux and measuring the velocity of the heat wave across the sample. Maintaining the heat flux leads to a steady thermal gradient across the sample from which the thermal conductivity can be determined. The test duration is short relative to durations employed by existing conventional techniques and thus causes only a small thermal disturbance to the sample of the order of 1 to 2°C. Thermal properties of liquids and solids, including thermoplastics and a typical epoxy resin during cure with different equivalents of an aromatic diamine hardener have been measured near room temperature. Experimental data compare favorably with literature values for similar systems. Variations in thermal conductivity and diffusivity during cure have been obtained through a series of individual discrete measurements to cover the whole isothermal cure history. The results have been analyzed and discussed with respect to the cure characteristics of the resin and the nature of the physicochemical changes the material undergoes during cure.
