Cat-Scratch Disease (2016)

FDG-PET/CT is a standard of care in staging and response assessment of Hodgkin lymphoma. Hence, it is important to recognize pitfalls owing to the potential therapeutic impact. We report a case of a 29-year-old woman affected by stage III bulky Hodgkin lymphoma. The interim FDG-PET/CT showed a complete metabolic response. After three new cycles of chemotherapy, the patient showed fever and lymphadenopathy at clinic examination, PET/CT revealed several FDG uptakes at lymph nodes in inguinal and iliac region. Pathologic analyses, after biopsy and serologic examinations, led to the diagnosis of cat-scratch disease.
Arbitrary-shaped Brillouin microwave photonic filter by manipulating a directly modulated pump (2017)

We present a cost-effective gigahertz-wide arbitrary-shaped microwave photonic filter based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in fiber using a directly modulated laser (DML). After analyzing the relationship between the spectral power density and the modulation current of the DML, we manage to precisely adjust the optical spectrum of the DML, thereby controlling the Brillouin filter response arbitrarily for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The filter performance is evaluated by amplifying a 500 Mb/s non-return-to-zero on-off keying signal using a 1 GHz rectangular filter. The comparison between the proposed DML approach and the previous approach adopting a complex IQ modulator shows similar filter flexibility, shape fidelity, and noise performance, proving that the DML-based Brillouin filter technique is a cost-effective and valid solution for microwave photonic applications.

Evaluation of Xanthan Gum in the Preparation of Sustained Release Matrix Tablets (1993)

AbstractThe objective of this study was to evaluate xanthan gum as a matrix former for the preparation of sustained release tablets. Preliminary experiments indicated that a fine particle sue of xanthan gum produced the slowest and most reproducible release profiles. Based on single surface experiments and tablet erosion studies, it was concluded that release of a soluble drug (chlorpheniramine maleate) and an insoluble drug (theophylline) from tablets containing low concentraions of xanthan gum was mainly via diffusion and erosion, respectively. Drug release from tablets containing xanthan gum was slightly faster in acidic media due to more rapid initial surface erosion than at higher pH. After hydration of the gum, drug release was essentially pH-independent. The amount released was directly proportional to the loading dose of drug and inversely proportional to gum concentration in tablets. Release profiles of chlorpheniramine maleate and theophylline remained unchanged after three months storage of the tablets at 40°C/80% RH and 40°C. Model tablets containing 5% xanthan gum exhibited release profiles similar to tablets containing 15% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
The 60-kDa heat shock protein modulates allograft rejection (1999)

Allograft rejection is a process of immune reactivity triggered by foreign transplantation antigens. We now demonstrate that the 60-kDa heat shock protein (hsp60), a molecule that is identical in the donor and the recipient, can regulate allograft immunity. In wild-type mice, hsp60 expression was greatly enhanced in allografts being rejected. By using MHC class II (Ealpha) promoter hsp60 transgenic mice either as donors of skin with enhanced expression of hsp60, or as allograft recipients with decreased hsp60 autoimmunity, we found that augmented expression of mouse hsp60 in the allograft accelerated its rejection, whereas reduced autoimmunity to mouse hsp60 in graft recipients delayed the process. Moreover, in nontransgenic mice, therapeutic administration of hsp60 or hsp60 peptides, known to modulate naturally occurring hsp60 autoimmunity, led to delayed allograft rejection. Thus, we demonstrate that hsp60 expression and hsp60 autoimmunity can influence and modify the immune response to foreign antigens. Hence, autoimmunity to self-hsp60 epitopes is not necessarily an aberration, but may serve physiologically and therapeutically to modulate foreign immunity.
Impact of a large wildfire on water-soluble organic aerosol in a major urban area: the 2009 Station Fire in Los Angeles County (2011)

Abstract. Water-soluble organic carbon is a major component of aerosol particles globally. This study examines a field dataset of water-soluble organic aerosol in the Los Angeles Basin, a classic urban setting, under typical conditions and under the influence of a large wildfire (the 2009 Station Fire). The measurements took place between July and September in Pasadena as part of the 2009 Pasadena Aerosol Characterization Observatory (PACO) field campaign. Large differences in the nature of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) were observed between periods with and without the influence of the fire. During non-fire periods, WSOC variability was driven most likely by a combination of photochemical production processes and subsequent sea breeze transport, resulting in an average diurnal cycle with a maximum at 15:00 LT (up to 4.9 μg C m−3). During the Station Fire, smoke plumes advected to the site in the morning hours were characterized by high concentrations of WSOC (up to 41 μg C m−3) in tight correlation with nitrate and chloride, and with Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) organic metrics such as the biomass burning tracer m/z 60, and total non-refractory organic mass. These concentrations and correlations and the proximity of the measurement site to the fire suggest that primary production was a key formation mechanism for WSOC. During the afternoons, the sea breeze transported urban pollution and processed residual smoke back to the measurement site, leading to higher afternoon WSOC levels than on non-fire days. Parameters representing higher degrees of oxidation of organics, including the ratios m/z 44 : m/z 57 and m/z 44 : m/z 43, were increased in those air masses. Intercomparisons of relative amounts of WSOC, AMS organic, m/z 44, and m/z 43 are used to examine how the relative abundance of different classes of WSOC species changed as a result of photochemical aging. The fraction of WSOC comprised of acid-oxygenates increased as a of photochemical aging owing to the conversion of aliphatic and non-acid oxygenated organics to more acid-like organics. Assuming a factor of 1.8 to convert WSOC concentrations to organic mass-equivalent concentrations, the contribution of water-soluble organic species to the organic mass budget (10th–90th percentile values) ranged between 27–72% and 27–68% during fire and non-fire periods, respectively. Therefore, WSOC is a significant contributor to the organic aerosol budget in this urban area. The influence of fires in this basin greatly enhances the importance of this class of organics, which has implications for the radiative and hygroscopic properties of the regional aerosol.
Hierarchical Modeling with Tensor Inputs (2021)

In many real applications, the input data are naturally expressed as tensors, such as virtual metrology in semiconductor manufacturing, face recognition and gait recognition in computer vision, etc. In this paper, we propose a general optimization framework for dealing with tensor inputs. Most existing methods for supervised tensor learning use only rank-one weight tensors in the linear model and cannot readily incorporate domain knowledge. In our framework, we obtain the weight tensor in a hierarchical way — we first approximate it by a low-rank tensor, and then estimate the low-rank approximation using the prior knowledge from various sources, e.g., different domain experts. This is motivated by wafer quality prediction in semiconductor manufacturing. Furthermore, we propose an effective algorithm named H-MOTE for solving this framework, which is guaranteed to converge. The time complexity of H-MOTE is linear with respect to the number of examples as well as the size of the weight tensor. Experimental results show the superiority of H-MOTE over state-of-the-art techniques on both synthetic and real data sets.
Transient Electromagnetic Field Coupling to Long Shielded Cables (1980)

A model is presented for determining the transient currents and voltages induced within long shielded coaxial cables by an impinging electromagnetic pulse (EMP). The transmission-line theory is applied to establish the differential equations describing the behavior of the cables in the presence of a uniform plane traveling wave. At first, induced sheath currents are calculated taking into account different coupling modes. Then, internal voltages and currents are computed via the surface transfer impedance of cable shields for one and multilayer outer conductors. Comparison with measurements show the validity of the proposed method. The computer codes developed for this purpose have been found to be a very useful tool for the optimization of shielded transmission cables.
Analysis of Real-Time Multiple Source Video Streaming via Wireless 5.8 GHz for Intelligent Traffic Management System (2006)

This paper evaluates the performance of live compressed motion image transmission in coherence with the development of the multiple video streaming and compression (Multiple-VSCS) software, as applied for the intelligent traffic management system. Motion Images of multiple sources are captured, jointly compressed and streamed real time via utilization of the 5.8 GHz OFDM outdoor wireless LAN network. Experiments were performed and analyzed to ascertain the reliability and potency of this application with improved bitstream rates as low as 50 kbps and compression ratio rates as high as 1800:1, under various compression parameters settings as well as different video formats. This paper also includes performance analysis of video stream rates with comparison into varying compression formats and quantization factors retrospective to quality of service (QoS). Projections were also performed as behavioral study on the effects of the available bandwidth with increased video capture sources and streaming processes.
New Humidification Concept for Evaporative Gas Turbine Cycles Applied to a Modern Aeroderivative Gas Turbine (1997)

Abstract A new humidification concept in evaporative gas turbine cycles is presented. This involves a humidfication column with multiple sections of counter-current humidification with different water flows in each section. The advantages of multiple sections are analyzed in combination with part-flow humidification, where less than 50% of the compressed air from the air compressor is led through the humidification column and the rest is passed on directly to the recuperator. The part flow humidification is a concept that noticeably reduces mass and heat transfer equipment costs in the EvGT cycle. It is shown that, for a part flow configuration, a more efficient cycle can be attained than in a system with customary single-section humidification. In this paper an EvGT system is modeled in the GATE/CYCLE gas turbine simulation program. The simulations are based on the modem aeroderivative gas turbine Rolls Royce Trent in non-intercooled mode. The results include performance data as well as dimensions and design considerations of the humidification column and the heat exchangers.
Morphology of PA‐6 vibration welded joints and its effect on weld strength (2007)

Abstract The microstructure of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in vibration welded joints of polyamide‐6 were studied using polarized light microscopy (PLM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectrometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC). PLM images showed the existence of two distinct HAZ layers: an inner layer (HAZ‐I) with small spherulites and an outer deformed layer (HAZ‐II) adjacent to the bulk zone. The thickness of the HAZ‐I and HAZ‐II layers and the size of spherulites in HAZ‐I depended on welding parameters, such as weld pressure and amplitude. The microstructure study of molecular orientation, using birefringence, and crystal phase type, using FTIR, suggests that HAZ‐I originates from a molten polymer film, while HAZ‐II arises in the polymer in the rubbery state. Etched HAZ surfaces also show clear distinction between the two HAZ layers. Therefore, HAZ‐I is renamed as the recrystallized layer and HAZ‐II as the deformed layer. Fracture tests show that the weakest part of the joint occurs in the recrystallized layer region adjacent to the deformed layer. MDSC analysis indicates that the determining factor of the weld strength is the crystallinity of the recrystallized layer, not the thickness of HAZ. POLYM. ENG.

Prediction of Total Knee Replacement and Diagnosis of Osteoarthritis by Using Deep Learning on Knee Radiographs: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (2020)

Background The methods for assessing knee osteoarthritis (OA) do not provide enough comprehensive information to make robust and accurate outcome predictions. Purpose To develop a deep learning (DL) prediction model for risk of OA progression by using knee radiographs in patients who underwent total knee replacement (TKR) and matched control patients who did not undergo TKR. Materials and Methods In this retrospective analysis that used data from the OA Initiative, a DL model on knee radiographs was developed to predict both the likelihood of a patient undergoing TKR within 9 years and Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade. Study participants included a case-control matched subcohort between 45 and 79 years. Patients were matched to control patients according to age, sex, ethnicity, and body mass index. The proposed model used a transfer learning approach based on the ResNet34 architecture with sevenfold nested cross-validation. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and conditional logistic regression assessed model performance for predicting probability and risk of TKR compared with clinical observations and two binary outcome prediction models on the basis of radiographic readings: KL grade and OA Research Society International (OARSI) grade. Results Evaluated were 728 participants including 324 patients (mean age, 64 years ± 8 [standard deviation]; 222 women) and 324 control patients (mean age, 64 years ± 8; 222 women). The prediction model based on DL achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.85, 0.90), outperforming a baseline prediction model by using KL grade with an AUC of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.71, 0.77; <i>P</i> < .001). The risk for TKR increased with probability that a person will undergo TKR from the DL model (odds ratio [OR], 7.7; 95% CI: 2.3, 25; <i>P</i> < .001), KL grade (OR, 1.92; 95% CI: 1.17, 3.13; <i>P</i> = .009), and OARSI grade (OR, 1.20; 95% CI: 0.41, 3.50; <i>P</i> = .73). Conclusion The proposed deep learning model better predicted risk of total knee replacement in osteoarthritis than did binary outcome models by using standard grading systems. © RSNA, 2020 <i>Online supplemental material is available for this article.</i> See also the editorial by Richardson in this issue.
The effect of androgen receptor splice variant 7 on the growth of castration-resistant prostate cancer and the efficacy of taxane chemotherapy. (2019)

302 Background: Expression of androgen receptor (AR) splice variant 7 (AR-V7) has been identified as a mechanism associated with the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but a potential link between AR-V7 expression and resistance to taxanes, such as docetaxel or cabazitaxel, has not been unequivocally demonstrated. We clarify the relationship between AR-V7 expression and resistance to taxanes. Furthermore, we assess the inhibitory effect of EPI-002, an antagonist of AR amino-terminal domain (NTD), to an AR-V7 driven CRPC cell line with acquired resistance to docetaxel. Methods: LNCaP95-DR cells, which express AR-V7 and exhibit resistance to enzalutamide and docetaxel, was developed. WST-1 assay or BrdU ELISA assay was performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of drugs. We examined alterations of AR and AR-V7 signaling using Western blot analyses, real-time RT-qPCR and reporter gene assay. Results: LNCaP95-DR cells showed cross-resistance to cabazitaxel. Although the LNCaP95-DR cells had increased expression of AR-V7 and its target genes (UBE2C, CDC20), knockdown of AR-V7 did not restore sensitivity to docetaxel or cabazitaxel. However, despite resistance to docetaxel and carbazitaxel, EPI-002 had an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of LNCaP95-DR cells that was similar to that achieved with the parental LNCaP95 cells, whereas enzalutamide had no effect on the proliferation of either cell line. Conclusions: Our results suggest that EPI-002 may be an option for the treatment of AR-V7-driven CRPC that is resistant to taxanes.
Multi-object Segmentation Based on Improved Pulse Coupled Neural Network (2008)

This paper introduces an approach for image segmentation by using pulse coupled neural network (PCNN), based on the phenomena of synchronous pulse bursts in the animal visual cortexes. The synchronous bursts of neurons with different input were generated in the proposed PCNN model to realize the multi-object segmentation. The criterion to automatically choose the dominant parameter (the linking strength ?), which determines the synchronous-burst stimulus range, was described in order to stimulate its application in automatic image segmentation. Segmentations on several types of image are implemented with the proposed method and the experimental results demonstrate its validity.
Novel in-capsule synthesis of metal–organic framework for innovative carbon dioxide capture system (2021)

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been developed as solid sorbents for CO2 capture applications and their properties can be controlled by tuning the chemical blocks of their crystalline units. A number of MOFs (e.g., HKUST-1) have been developed but the question remains how to deploy them for gas–solid contact. Unfortunately, the direct use of MOFs as nanocrystals would lead to serious problems and risks. Here, for the first time, we report a novel MOF-based hybrid sorbent that is produced via an innovative in-situ microencapsulated synthesis. Using a custom-made double capillary microfluidic assembly, double emulsions of the MOF precursor solutions and UV-curable silicone shell fluid are produced. Subsequently, HKUST-1 MOF is successfully synthesized within the droplets enclosed in the gas permeable microcapsules. The developed MOF-bearing microcapsules uniquely allow the deployment of functional nanocrystals without the challenge of handling ultrafine particles, and further, can selectively reject undesired compounds to protect encapsulated MOFs.
