Exploratory in Vitro Study of Red Blood Cell Storage Container with An Alternative Plasticizer. (2009)

Abstract Abstract 3149 Poster Board III-86 Background The plasticizer di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is a common component in medical plastics. Unique to the storage of RBC, DEHP is a necessary component of these storage bags, and is required to prevent excessive hemolysis over storage. Due to concerns related to the long term effects of DEHP exposure and issues related to disposal of these materials, there is a drive to replace this component. Our objective is to evaluate a candidate replacement plasticizer (Hexamoll TM DINCH, Cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, dinonylester, branched and linear) compared to control DEHP in an in vitro feasibility study. We hypothesize that the candidate will provide at least equivalent protection against hemolysis for RBC stored in additive solution for 42 days, and periodic mixing of RBC stored in additive solution for 42 days will add additional protection against hemolysis. Methods Whole blood was collected into CPD in standard collection sets (Terumo), combined into pools of 2 ABO identical RBC, divided, leukocyte-reduced, centrifuged and separated into plasma and packed RBC, then additive solution (AS-5) was added to the RBC, and the RBC/AS-5 were transferred into 2 study bags (matched pair) for storage up to 42 days under standard blood bank conditions of 4°C. In the first part, both study bags were Hexamoll TM DINCH, and one bag of each pair was mixed once per week, the other was held undisturbed. In the second part, DEHP bags were used as control held 42 days undisturbed, and the DINCH test bag was mixed once per week during storage. Standard in vitro RBC characteristics were determined at days 0 and 42. Results DINCH bags mixed weekly retained RBC morphology better, had lower extracellular potassium and had lower hemolysis compared to static storage. There were no detectable differences between DEHP static stored bags and DINCH bags mixed weekly when comparing in vitro parameters. Conclusion Periodic mixing of RBC stored in DINCH bags provides additional protection against hemolysis over 42 days of storage. DINCH plasticizer provided at least equivalent protection against hemolysis and potassium leakage for RBC stored in additive solution for 42 days. These initial observations should be extended to larger sample sizes and to in vivo autologous RBC recovery studies. The need for periodic mixing will need to be evaluated further. The plasticizer DINCH may be a viable candidate for replacement DEHP in RBC storage bags. Disclosures Dumont: BASF: Research Funding. Baker:BASF: Research Funding. Waters:BASF: Research Funding.

Meteoroid Bumpers: Aluminum* (1964)

Abstract Aluminum bumpers (Type 6061‐T6) with thicknesses of 0.1875, 0.125, 0.090, 0.063, and 0.032 inch have been subjected to impact with a 0.57 gram cylindrical steel projectile traveling at 9,400 to 21,700 ft/sec. In addition, the 0.032 inch bumpers were subjected to impact with 0.21 gram cylindrical steel projectiles traveling at 11,800 to 14,700 ft/sec. An aluminum (6061‐T6) vehicle hull was used in all experiments. For any given thickness of bumper, the vehicle hull was varied in both thickness and distance of separation from the bumper in order to establish the total weight and thickness of the structure necessary to prevent complete penetration by a given high velocity particle. It appears from the experimental data that spaced plates offer more effective protection from high velocity particles than a single plate of the same material and total mass. Moreover, it appears that thinner bumpers require less total weight in the vehicle to provide the same protection efficiency. This weight advantage provided by the thinner bumpers is reduced as the space between the bumper and plate is decreased.
A High Performance Clock Laser for Two-Photon Frequency Stabilized Optical Clocks (2018)

We describe a simple high-performance all-fiber atomic-line clock laser constructed from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. This laser, based on a frequency-doubled telecom laser, has significantly lower frequency noise compared to direct diode lasers.
Rapid Trust Establishment for Pervasive Personal Computing (2007)

In the emerging Internet Suspend/Resume mobile computing model, users exploit pervasive deployments of inexpensive, mass- market PC hardware rather than carrying portable hardware. ISR's driving vision is that plummeting hardware costs will someday eliminate the need to carry computing environments in portable computers. Instead, ISR will deliver an exact replica of the last checkpointed state of a user's entire computing environment (including the operating system, applications, files, and customiza- tions), on demand over the Internet to hardware located nearby.
Using the Impact of Event Scale to Evaluate Distress in the Context of Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer Susceptibility (2006)

The data obtained with two forms of the Impact of Event Scale were compared, one referring to a BRCA1/2 test result (IES-T) and another to cancer (IES-C). The sample consisted of 272 women with a family history suggestive of a BRCA1/2 mutation who underwent genetic testing and received results: noncarrier, carrier, or inconclusive. Globally, mean scores on the IES-C form were higher than those obtained on the IES-T form. Among carriers of a BRCA1/2 mutation, mean scores on the two forms were similar and agreement was good, as measured by the intraclass correlation coefficient (.83; 95% 95% CI=.72, .91). Agreement between the forms was poor to fair among noncarriers (ICC= .38; CI= .15, .57) and women with an inconclusive result (ICC= .40; 95% CI= .26, .52). Having had cancer increased total scores but had little influence on agreement between scores on forms. These findings highlight the importance of carefully selecting the form of the Impact of Event Scale in the context of genetic testing for breast cancer susceptibility.
Introduction to Microbial Biosurfactants (2019)

Microbes are known as a source for many novel metabolites and biosurfactants (BSs) are one such group of molecules produced by bacteria, yeast, fungi and actinomycetes. Type of BSs based on their chemical composition include, glycolipins, gids, glycolipoprotelycopeptides, lipopeptides, lipoproteins, fatty acids, phospholipids, neutral lipids, lipopolysaccharides and glycoglycerolipids. Diverse structural and chemical properties make BSs suitable for broad spectrum applications such as emulsification, dispersion, solubilizing, wetting, microbial growth enhancement, antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and anticancer agents. Unlike their chemical counterparts, BSs are ecofriendly, nontoxic, biodegradable, easy to produce and cost effective. Their application areas include environmental (bioremediation and oil extraction), industrial (emulsifiers and dispersants) and medical sectors (antimicrobial and therapeutics). Being potential biomolecules, the demand for microbial BSs are growing every year and need for more scientific information on high yield production and development of new applications for BSs is also in high demand. This chapter will provide introductory information of microbial BSs and other chapters in this book will provide more detailed information of each microbial BS and their application in various sectors.
Grating-coupled external cavity quantum cascade semiconductor lasers (2001)

Summary form only given. Widely wavelength-tunable mid-infrared lasers are useful for broadband spectral sensing. Grating-coupled external cavity InAs/InAsSb or GaSb/InAsSb 3-4 /spl mu/m lasers have been demonstrated with large tuning range. The work investigates the wavelength tuning property of InGaAs/InAlAs quantum cascade lasers using grating-coupled external cavity. An objective is to determine the optimal condition for threshold and power efficiency as a function of wavelength and temperature. Knowledge of these conditions can help choosing a wafer design for which a DFB or DBR laser can be fabricated for a specific a wavelength and temperature range. The materials were grown by MBE and fabricated into 10-12 /spl mu/m-wide, 0.5-2 mm-long ridge-waveguide lasers. Typical free-running power was /spl sim/350 mW peak at 80 K and /spl sim/ few 10's mW above 220 K.
The S/Net's Linda kernel (1986)

Linda is a parallel programming language that differs from other parallel languages in its simplicity and in its support for distributed data structures. The S/Net is a multicomputer, designed and built at AT&amp;T Bell Laboratories, that is based on a fast, word-parallel bus interconnect. We describe the Linda-supporting communication kernel we have implemented on the S/Net. The implementation suggests that Linda's unusual shared-memory-like communication primitives can be made to run well in the absence of physically shared memory; the simplicity of the language and of our implementation's logical structure suggest that similar Linda implementations might readily be constructed on related architectures. We outline the language, and programming methodologies based on distributed data structures; we then describe the implementation, and the performance both of the Linda primitives themselves and of a simple S/Net-Linda matrix-multiplication program designed to exercise them.
Effect of cultivation conditions on glycerophosphate oxidase production by a mutant strain of Aerococcus viridans. (1995)

The effect of different concentrations of carbon source (lactose) and inducer (glycerol) on biomass and glycerophosphate oxidase (GPO) production by mutant strain of Aerococcus viridans 1509 was tested. The best combination of lactose and glycerol concentrations for good enzyme productivity was 0.5% lactose and 2.5% glycerol. Further improvement of GPO levels was achieved after scaling-up of the bioprocess and cultivation of the cells in a 3 liter laboratory bioreactor. Using 4.5 x 10(-5) m3 s-1 air flow rate during growth, GPO activity increased 20-times in comparison with cultivation in flasks.
On the temperature and carrier density dependence of electron saturation velocity in an AlGaN/GaN HEMT (2006)

The temperature and carrier density dependence of electron intrinsic saturation velocity (v/sub si/) in a 0.3-/spl mu/m gate length AlGaN/GaN HEMT was extracted from multibias S-parameter measurements. It was found that v/sub si/ fell rapidly with increasing sheet carrier concentration (n/sub s/), but was only a very weak function of ambient temperature (T/sub amb/). This behavior is consistent with the hot-phonon model of carrier transport.
The Study on The Method of Manufacturing Herbal Acupuncture (2005)

This study is designed to investigate the method of manufacturing herbal acupuncture through literature of oriental medicine. The findings of this study are as follows; 1. The methods of manufacturing herbal acupuncture go through the process of abstraction, purification, mixing, filtration, putting and tight sealing in the container, sterilization, quality control, printing and packing 2. There are many ways to manufacturing herbal acupuncture, for example water-alcohol precipitation, alcohol-water precipitation, liquid-liquid abstract, acid-base abstract, metal base precipitation, distillation, molecular structure, polyamide absorption, dialysis, and ion exchange, etc. And popular method is water-alcohol precipitation. This is through alcohol precipitate extracting the principal ingredients from water abstraction. This is very simple and efficient way using melting characteristics of compounds in herb to water and ethanol. 3. Sterilization of herbal acupuncture is through heating-pressure, boiling, steam flowing, low temperature, filtering, radiation, cooling, and microwaves. Nowadays filtering is commonly used. And sterilization is estimated by an examination of asepsis . 4. Herbal acupuncture must be undergo study and experiment to clinical use. The problems of herbal acupuncture are turbidity, instability, causing hemolysis, pain, and fever. So many provisions (addition, sterilization, and filtration etc.) must be prepared. 5. The theory of manufacturing herbal acupuncture is from oriental medicine, not western. So it must be corresponded to oriental medical theory, for example Gimi(氣味), Guigyung(歸經), Ingyung(引經), Bosa(補瀉), and Match of Herb. It is recommended that further study of many other sided investigations in the future.
Pharmacological Mitigation of Tissue Damage during Brain Microdialysis (2013)

Microdialysis sampling in the brain is employed frequently in the chemical analysis of neurological function and disease, but implanting the probes, which are substantially larger than the size and spacing of brain cells and blood vessels, is injurious and triggers ischemia, gliosis, and cell death at the sampling site. The nature of the interface between the brain and the microdialysis probe is critical to the use of microdialysis as a neurochemical analysis technique. The objective of the work reported here was to investigate the potential of two compounds, dexamethasone, a glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory agent, and XJB-5-131, a mitochondrially targeted reactive oxygen species scavenger, to mitigate the penetration injury. Measurements were performed in the rat brain striatum, which is densely innervated by axons that release dopamine, an electroactive neurotransmitter. We used voltammetry to measure electrically evoked dopamine release next to microdialysis probes during the retrodialysis of dexamethasone or XJB-5-131. After the in vivo measurements, the brain tissue containing the microdialysis probe tracks was examined by fluorescence microscopy using markers for ischemia, neuronal nuclei, macrophages, and dopamine axons and terminals. Dexamethasone and XJB-5-131 each diminished the loss of evoked dopamine activity, diminished ischemia, diminished the loss of neuronal nuclei, diminished the appearance of extravasated macrophages, and diminished the loss of dopamine axons and terminals next to the probes. Our findings confirm the ability of dexamethasone and XJB-5-131 to mitigate, but not eliminate, the effects of the penetration injury caused by implanting microdialysis probes into brain tissue.
Nonlinear Camera Response Functions and Image Deblurring: Theoretical Analysis and Practice (2013)

This paper investigates the role that nonlinear camera response functions (CRFs) have on image deblurring. We present a comprehensive study to analyze the effects of CRFs on motion deblurring. In particular, we show how nonlinear CRFs can cause a spatially invariant blur to behave as a spatially varying blur. We prove that such nonlinearity can cause large errors around edges when directly applying deconvolution to a motion blurred image without CRF correction. These errors are inevitable even with a known point spread function (PSF) and with state-of-the-art regularization-based deconvolution algorithms. In addition, we show how CRFs can adversely affect PSF estimation algorithms in the case of blind deconvolution. To help counter these effects, we introduce two methods to estimate the CRF directly from one or more blurred images when the PSF is known or unknown. Our experimental results on synthetic and real images validate our analysis and demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of our approaches.
Optimized Guidance Methods for Smooth Transitions in UAS Path Following (2019)

Many traditional guidance algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Systems will command maneuvers that may be over-aggressive in sharp turns or large errors, especially in the longitudinal frame which can result in stall. To prevent this, more gradually increasing or steady ascent/descent/turn rates should be commanded. In longitudinal, a guidance law is developed using aircraft dynamics that both keeps trim conditions salient while also tightly constraining ascent/descent rates, which can then be optimized through the linear quadratic regulator technique. Furthermore, this base guidance is decoupled from initial conditions. In lateral, a curvature path planning navigation is introduced to eliminate step input controls in turns. Results show that the aircraft can track the path as well as traditional algorithms, while also producing more reasonable reactions to lateral and longitudinal errors.
Clinical, microbiological and immunological profile of healthy, gingivitis and putative active periodontal subjects (1996)

Thirteen periodontally healthy subjects were monitored clinically for 6-12 months. Clinical measurements at 6-weekly intervals included duplicate PD measurements, presence of plaque, redness, and bleeding on probing. Baseline measurements consisted of 2 visits 1 wk apart. Microbial samples were taken from 11 of the subjects who had completed at least 8 months of monitoring. Levels of serum antibodies to 12 periodontal species were determined from 10 subjects. Standard deviations of replicate PD measurements, computed for each subject, ranged from 0.2-0.3 mm over the monitoring period. Plaque and redness increased during monitoring, and showed a weak association with PD change. Baseline and follow-up distributions of PD changes indicated that changes of > 1.5 mm could reasonably be considered to represent active sites. Five subjects demonstrated at least 1 site deepening by 1.5 mm over the period monitored, and these were considered putative active subjects. Sites from 2 subjects showed PD increases in the 6 wk just before sampling, and these were considered to represent active sites. Species associated with putative active subjects included Actinomyces naeslundii, Veillonella parvula, Selenomonas noxia and Prevotella nigrescens. Streptococcus sanguis, S. gordonii and Peptostreptococcus micros were associated with inactive subjects. S. gordonii and S. oralis were associated with health, whereas P. nigrescens was associated with gingivitis. Elevated serum antibodies were detected to A. actinomycetemcomitans in 4 subjects. The predominant microbiota of putative active subjects included some species previously associated with gingivitis, and some species previously associated with progressing periodontitis.

VirtualComponent (2019)

Prototyping electronic circuits is an increasingly popular activity, supported by researchers, who develop toolkits to improve the design, debugging, and fabrication of electronics. Although past work mainly dealt with circuit topology, in this paper we propose a system for determining or tuning the values of the circuit components. Based on the results of a formative study with seventeen makers, we designed VirtualComponent, a mixed-reality tool that allows users to digitally place electronic components on a real breadboard, tune their values in software, and see these changes applied to the physical circuit in real-time. VirtualComponent is composed of a set of plug-and-play modules containing banks of components, and a custom breadboard managing the connections and components' values. Through demonstrations and the results of an informal study with twelve makers, we show that VirtualComponent is easy to use and allows users to test components' value configurations with little effort.
