Accessing nearby copies of replicated objects in a distributed environment (1997)

Consider a set of shared objects in a distributed network, where several copies of each object may exist at any given time. To ensure both fast access to the objects as well as efficient utilization of network resources, it is desirable that each access request be satisfied by a copy "close" to the requesting node. Unfortunately, it is not clear how to efficiently achieve this goal in a dynamic, distributed environment in which large numbers of objects are continuously being created, replicated, and destroyed,
Evidence-based Embryo Cryopreservation (2005)

Cryopreservation of mammalian animal embryos was first developed using mouse embryos in 1972 and has since been applied to human embryos to utilize surplus embryos in in-vitro fertilization programs: the slow freezing method in the first half of the 1980's and vitrification in the 1990's. Recently, the protocol of vitrification for human embryos has been improved by the ultra-rapid vitrification method in which the rate of cooling is highly improved. It is mainly used as an effective basic technique for cryopreservation of human embryos in current clinical IVF programs due to the extremely high embryonic survival rate after storage.
A transient polarization grating method to study tumbling and bending dynamics of DNA (1999)

A transient polarization grating (TPG) instrument was developed to investigate the tumbling and bending dynamics of various DNAs over the time range from 20 ns to 10 μs. This TPG experiment employs pulsed writing beams with orthogonal polarizations and a continuous-wave probe beam. Detection of the diffracted probe light is performed via a photon counting method. Methylene blue intercalated in DNA is used as the chromophore to create the gratings. TPG experiments performed on DNA molecules containing 200 base-pairs yield a relaxation time for tumbling that is in reasonable accord with prior work. This TPG experiment achieves a significant gain in signal-to-random-noise ratio over a direct photoinduced dicroism experiment, and eliminates an important source of systematic error that could significantly alter the tail of the decay curve, where bending and end-over-end tumbling dominate the relaxation. However, the proportionality constant between the diffracted signal and photo-induced dichroism in the sample is an additional unknown in the data analysis.

Assessment of CReST-VCT Deployment in Real-Time Environments: Communication System Examination (2019)

Incorporation of decentralized generation or distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar and wind, is transforming the electricity grid. These resources have the potential to provide greater overall value when they are grid connected and coordinated between transmission and distribution systems. The Coordinated Real-Time Sub-Transmission Volt-VAr Control Tool (CReST-VCT) has been proposed to provide co-optimization between transmission and distribution systems maximizing DER utilization while maintaining overall grid stability. In this paper, we examine the communication systems that are necessary to support the integration of the CReST-VCT optimization mechanism in a real-time operational environment. The required communication interfaces will be identified based on the operation model of CReST-VCT. The characteristics of the communication systems at these interfaces will be described to establish the context within which CReST-VCT will operate. The related protocols and cybersecurity domain will be reviewed. Potential issues and concerns will then be identified to guide subsequent integration efforts.
The Theory of Materials Failure (2013)

Abstract This book provides a complete and comprehensive development of failure theory for homogeneous materials. The resultant failure criteria to be used for applications with isotropic materials are calibrated by only two properties: the uniaxial tensile and compressive strengths, T and C. From these data the entire family of failure envelopes can be generated for all states of stress. The account begins with a historical survey that includes the efforts of many of history's greatest scientists. The complete inadequacy for general applications of all the historical forms are detailed. The center point of the book is the derivation of the failure theory for isotropic materials. The new and enabling technical insight is that of an organizing principle whereby the entire spectrum of isotropic materials types can be characterized by their strengths ratio, T/C, with stress being non-dimensionalized by C. Two coordinated but competitive failure criteria then emerge. One of several unique features of the book is a full and complete treatment of ductile versus brittle behavior for isotropic materials. Along with the experimental evaluation of the failure theory, many examples of failure behavior and applications are presented. The relationship to fracture mechanics is also included. The overall coverage is very broad, but with no compromise in quality or rigor. Reasonably extensive treatments are given for fiber composites failure as well as investigations into microscale and nanoscale aspects of failure. The book is completed with a probe into damage models and a fairly complete derivation of probabilistic failure and life prediction.
Lightning Protection Effects of Surge Arresters for Pole Transformers (1999)

The outage ratio of pole transformers reaches to approximately 40% of total distribution line equipment outages. Then, it is necessary to develop an effective prevention method for pole transformers against lightning. In this paper, we clarified the relation between a lightning current and an induced voltage of a pole transformer caused by lightning current, and examined the lightning protection effects of surge arresters for a pole transformer. The main results are as follows:1)The length of the grounding conductor from an arrester to a transformer mounting bracket has a significant influence on the protection of transformers. In the case that surge arresters are installed on every second pole and the value of grounding resistance of grounding conductor is 30Ω, 80% of direct lightning hits do not damage a transformer with a 2.5m-long grounding conductor.2)Even if the grounding resistance of the grounding conductor is as high as 200Ω, a good protection effect is obtained. In the case that surge arresters are installed on every second pole, 70% of direct lightning hits do not damage a transformer with a 2.5m-long grounding conductor.

Drugs and myasthenia gravis. An update. (1997)

Myasthenia gravis is a disease of the neuromuscular junction in which normal transmission of the neuron-to-muscle impulse is impaired or prevented by acetylcholine receptor antibodies. Several classes of drugs have been associated with clinical worsening of existing myasthenia gravis, and a small subset of drugs, most notably the antirheumatic agent penicillamine, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variant of the disease. Recent case reports and other documented evidence link a number of specific agents with clinical worsening of myasthenia gravis.
Regulation of phosphatidic acid biosynthetic enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (1994)

Phosphatidic acid is the biosynthetic precursor of all glycerolipids. To understand how phosphatidic acid biosynthesis is controlled in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we studied the regulation of three enzyme activities involved in the synthesis of this glycerolipid precursor, i.e., glycerophosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (DHAPAT), and acyl DHAP reductase. GPAT activity was increased 3-fold, while DHAPAT activity was increased up to 9-fold in wild type cells grown in a nonfermentable carbon source compared to that of glucose-grown cells. The ratio of GPAT/DHAPAT activity was 12 in glucose-grown cells but only 4 in cells grown in glycerol/ethanol. In the previously characterized tpa1 mutant, (T. S. Tillman and R. M. Bell. 1986. J. Biol. Chem. 261: 9144-9149), GPAT was decreased 2-fold and DHAPAT 27-fold compared to activities in the wild type. Acyl DHAP reductase activity in both wild type and tpa1 cells grown on a nonfermentable carbon source was increased approximately 2-fold over that of glucose-grown cells. All three enzymatic activities increased as wild type cells grown on glucose entered the stationary phase of growth. Therefore, GPAT, DHAPAT, and acyl DHAP reductase activities appear to be regulated by the respiratory state of the cell. None of the activities was affected to a great extent by inositol, which is a key regulator of many enzymes involved in the synthesis of PtdOH-derived phospholipids in S. cerevisiae, nor by deletion of the mitochondrial genome.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Identification of Jasmonic Acid and Jasmonoyl-Isoleucine, and Characterization of AOS, AOC, OPR and JAR1 in the Model Lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii (2017)

Jasmonic acid (JA) is involved in a variety of physiological responses in seed plants. However, the detection and role of JA in lycophytes, a group of seedless vascular plants, have remained elusive until recently. This study provides the first evidence of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), JA and jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile) in the model lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii. Mechanical wounding stimulated the accumulation of OPDA, JA and JA-Ile. These data were corroborated by the detection of enzymatically active allene oxide synthase (AOS), allene oxide cyclase (AOC), 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase 3 (OPR3) and JA-Ile synthase (JAR1) in S. moellendorffii. SmAOS2 is involved in the first committed step of JA biosynthesis. SmAOC1 is a crucial enzyme for generating the basic structure of jasmonates and is actively involved in the formation of OPDA. SmOPR5, a functionally active OPR3-like enzyme, is also vital for the reduction of (+)-cis-OPDA, the only isomer of the JA precursor. The conjugation of JA to Ile by SmJAR1 demonstrates that S. moellendorffii produces JA-Ile. Thus, the four active enzymes have characteristics similar to those in seed plants. Wounding and JA treatment induced the expression of SmAOC1 and SmOPR5. Furthermore, JA inhibited the growth of shoots in S. moellendorffii, which suggests that JA functions as a signaling molecule in S. moellendorffii. This study proposes that JA evolved as a plant hormone for stress adaptation, beginning with the emergence of vascular plants.
Protein synthesis in artificial cells: using compartmentalisation for spatial organisation in vesicle bioreactors (2015)

Whereas spatial organisation of function is ubiquitous in biology, it has been lacking in artificial cells. We rectify this by using multi-compartment vesicles as chassis for artificial cells, allowing distinct biological processes to be isolated in space. This is demonstrated by in vitro synthesis of two proteins in predefined vesicle regions.
“It Makes the Whole Learning Experience Better”: Student Feedback on the Use of the Interactive Whiteboard in Learning Chinese at Tertiary Level (2011)

The widespread use of interactive whiteboards (IWB) in primary and secondary schools has been well documented, yet there is to date only limited attention to use in tertiary institutions. Macquarie University has installed this technology in many of its teaching spaces in the past few years. This paper reports a case study undertaken in the university’s undergraduate Chinese beginner course, which began to use IWB learning activities in 2009.Our study was undertaken to obtain students’ perceptions of the IWB pedagogy in Chinese language acquisition in general and in particular, of the effectiveness of IWB in the retention of Chinese characters. To many students whose first language is non-logographic, the recognition and retention of characters are the most difficult tasks in learning Chinese. Our findings indicate that the IWB’s affordance to create a variety of visual activities has impacted, most saliently, the retention of characters and syntactical elements. Students also report that the IWB has enhanced the learning experience, reflected in increased motivation and engagement through interaction with this technology. The tertiary students reveal particular learning priorities, in appreciating interaction, intellectual demand and participation, as components of effective learning. The feedback process itself proved to be useful in facilitating critical awareness in both teacher and students, of teaching strategies and learning respectively.
A Novel Low Voltage Electrostatic MEMS Resonator Sensor Based on Double Resonance Dynamic Amplification (2017)

In this paper, we present a new concept to couple the mechanical vibration dynamic of electrostatic MEMS sensor with its internal electrical circuit resonance. The concept shows great potential to reduce the excitation voltage for electrostatic MEMS. The proposed actuation method aims to activate the mechanical and electrical resonance of the MEMS circuit, simultaneously; to amplify the voltage across the MEMS and increase the MEMS sensitivity to the input electrostatic forces. Moreover, we propose a method to achieve this amplification for any electrostatic MEMS device regardless of the values of its electrical and mechanical resonance frequencies. The proposed concept is studied theoretically and validated experimentally for a commercial MEMS sensor. A voltage amplification of more than 21 times and a MEMS amplitude amplification of over 6 times was observed.

NaTrxh is an essential protein for pollen rejection in Nicotiana by increasing S‐RNase activity (2020)

In self-incompatible Solanaceae, the pistil protein S-RNase contributes to S-specific pollen rejection in conspecific crosses, as well as to rejecting pollen from foreign species or whole clades. However, S-RNase alone is not sufficient for either type of pollen rejection. We describe a thioredoxin (Trx) type h from Nicotiana alata, NaTrxh, which interacts with and reduces S-RNase in vitro. Here, we show that expressing a redox-inactive mutant, NaTrxh<sub>SS</sub> , suppresses both S-specific pollen rejection and rejection of pollen from Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Biochemical experiments provide evidence that NaTrxh specifically reduces the Cys<sub>155</sub> -Cys<sub>185</sub> disulphide bond of S<sub>C10</sub> -Rnase, resulting in a significant increase of its ribonuclease activity. This reduction and increase in S-RNase activity by NaTrxh helps to explain why S-RNase alone could be insufficient for pollen rejection.
Genetic Variation and Human Disease (1993)

Recent developments in molecular and computational methods have made it possible to identify the genetic basis of any biological trait, and have led to spectacular advances in the study of human disease. This book provides an overview of the concepts and methods needed to understand the genetic basis of biological traits, including disease, in humans. Using examples of qualitative and quantitative phenotypes, Professor Weiss shows how genetic variation may be quantified, and how relationships between genotype and phenotype may be inferred. This book will appeal to many biologists and biological anthropologists interested in the genetic basis of biological traits, as well as to epidemiologists, biomedical scientists, human geneticists and molecular biologists.

Experimental Study of Delta Wing Leading-Edge Devices for Drag Reduction at High Lift (2025)

Future fighter aircraft requirements specify efficient supersonic cruise and high-g maneuverability at high lift. The slender delta wing meets the first requirement but has large lift induced drag increments at high lift. One method to alleviate the drag is to control the flow at the wing leading edge (LE) by means of small LE devices, so as to maintain locally attached flow to higher angles of attack and thus increase the level of aerodynamic thrust. The devices selected for evaluation were the fence, slot, pylon-type vortex generator (VG), and sharp leading-edge extension (SLEE). These devices were tested on a 60° flatplate delta (with blunt LE) in the Langley Research Center (NASA) 7- by 10-foot high-speed tunnel at low-speed and to angles of attack of 28°. Balance and static pressure measurements were taken. The results indicate that all the devices had significant drag reduction capability and improved longitudinal stability while a slight loss of lift and increased cruise drag occurred.
Stability studies of offshore wind farms (2010)

Wind energy is the most important type of renewable energy in Europe. The stability of system network operation with a large penetration of wind energy has become one of the most critical issues in the new structure of power systems with different types of generation. In this paper the HVDC and HVAC connection of the wind farm to grid is compared. The HVDC is more advantageous in maintaining the system stability. Nevertheless this study focuses on the HVAC connection of wind farms with regard to its lower costs and widely practical application. Based on the topology of the offshore wind farm Alpha Ventus, a simulation model is developed in software PSS/NETOMAC. Using this model the steady-state voltage and power factor at the wind farm connection point is analyzed and compared with the grid code requirement on reactive power exchange and voltage stability. The impact of the cable switching on voltage is investigated as well. The simulation results indicate that overvoltage will occur during cable switching if the cable is not sufficiently compensated, and the overvoltage will become more critical with as the operational voltage levels of the cable increases.

Analysis Update—Full Spectrum Cannabis (2019)

Most cannabis testing has been conducted for quality control (QC) purposes in order to verify the cannabinoids, especially the psychoactive delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and the non-psychoactive cannabidiol, are present in high concentrations. While QC laboratories continue to grow in the field of cannabis testing, research and development is gaining more popularity at universities and pharmaceutical companies. The cannabis industry is seeing a similar trend. At related expositions, chefs often present lessons on food/cannabis preparation. There are more than 200 terpenes found in the cannabis plant and more than 30,000 found in nature according to some estimates. When discussing cannabis cultivars, often referred to as strains, the discussion often involves the cannabinoids and the terpenes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide but it may be reduced with hemp seeds. Hemp is part of the cannabis sativa family. Raw cannabis contains essential amino acids, which can repair damaged cells, transport nutrients, and maintain cell structure.
