PMSM control based on edge field measurements by Hall sensors (2010)

Great merits of utilizing Hall sensors as a position detector lie in the cost effectiveness and relatively easiness in installation. In this work, the axial component of the rotor PM edge field is detected by linear Hall sensors. The measured values by the two Hall sensors look like sin ¿ and cos ¿, but contain a significant amount of third harmonics which causes angle estimation error. In this work, a phase locked loop (PLL) is utilized with the adaptive notch filter (ANF) for the purpose of filtering out the third order harmonics from the PLL input signals. The PLL yields both speed and angle estimates, and is used for speed feedback and coordinate change into the synchronous reference frame, respectively. Experiments showed satisfactory results in current and speed regulations. This kind of edge field detection method is advantageous, since the edge field is not strong enough to saturate the commercial Hall sensors and the edge field measuring is not affected by the stator current.
An Infrastructure Modelling Tool for Cloud Provisioning (2017)

Cloud computing offers computing, network, and storage capabilities through services that abstract the capabilities of the underlying hardware. Currently, a variety of tools exist that manage the infrastructure provisioning and use scripts to define the final state of the hardware to be deployed in the cloud. However, there are major challenges that need to be addressed to automate the infrastructure management so that they are effectively used in initiatives such as DevOps. In particular, the management of Infrastructure as a Code (IaC) is one of the most important technical challenges to support activities such as the integration, deployment, and continuous delivery of applications. To address this problem, we present a support for the management of DevOps tools, through the definition of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) based on the concept of Infrastructure as a Code, and a tool that supports this language allowing to model the final state of a provisioning infrastructure in the cloud and generating the provisioning scripts for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. The proposed tool reduces the work for development and operations personnel and facilitates their communication.
Dimensional tailoring of nitrogen-doped graphene for high performance supercapacitors (2016)

In supercapacitors, one dimensional graphene ribbons which form net-like porous structure demonstrate low mass transfer resistance at low frequency region and a consequent efficient charge transferability.
State-centric programming for sensor-actuator network systems (2003)

Distributed embedded systems such as wireless sensor and actuator networks require new programming models and software tools to support the rapid design and prototyping of sensing and control applications. Unlike centralized platforms and Web-based distributed systems, these distributed sensor-actuator network (DSAN) systems are characterized by a massive number of potentially failing nodes, limited energy and bandwidth resources, and the need to rapidly respond to sensor input. We describe a state-centric, agent-based design methodology to mediate between a system developer's mental model of physical phenomena and the distributed execution of DSAN applications. Building on the ideas of data-centric networking, sensor databases, and proximity-based group formation, we introduce the notion of collaboration groups, which abstracts common patterns in application-specific communication and resource allocation. Using a distributed tracking application with sensor networks, we'll demonstrate how state-centric programming can raise the abstraction level for application developers.

Can transcutaneous near infrared spectroscopy detect severe hepatic ischemia: a juvenile porcine model (2016)

Transcutaneous hepatic StO<sub>2</sub> monitoring cannot reliably detect severe hepatic ischemia in a juvenile porcine model, although a stronger and potentially useful signal is seen in 5-7 kg pigs. Trials of this technology should be currently restricted to situations where the organ is less than 1 cm from the skin surface, corresponding to infants of <10 kg.
PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF CONFECTIONERY FATS (1989)

Abstract Confectionery coatings employ hard butter fat systems made from both lauric and non-lauric source oils. These oils are routinely modified by a combination of treatments including hydrogenation, fractionation and interesterification to achieve desired physical properties. Such processing methods create heterogeneous triglyceride mixtures consisting of a variety of compositional and positional isomers. Published phase diagrams of “simple” binary triglyceride mixtures of closely related molecules are complex, and suggest that innumberable unique liquid and solid phases may co-exist at any given temperature ( and pressure ) in vastly more complex triglyceride mixtures such as confectionery hard butters. Thus we may view confectionery fat systems as multiphasic mixtures (liquid, solid and compositional) with a propensity to undergo liquid content fluctuations and crystal size/morphology changes in response to slight changes in temperature. A true equilibrium among all phases may indeed never be attained, and a potential for movement of certain components in response to temperature change is probably constant. Surface growth of long needle-like fat crystals, “fat bloom”, most likely results from this non-equilibrium condition and serves to reduce the system's free energy. The ever present, ever changing liquid phase(s) is viewed as the vehicle for free energy minimization via triglyceride migration and ongoing crystal growth.
Immunization of common marmosets with Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) envelope glycoprotein gp340: Effect on viral shedding following EBV challenge (1998)

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the cause of infectious mononucleosis, is involved in the pathogenesis of several human cancers, the highest frequency of association being found in undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and endemic Burkitt's lymphoma. The development of animal models in which potential vaccines can be tested is important. EBV infection of the common marmoset, using the M81 strain originally derived from a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, induces a carrier state in this animal. Persistent infection is characterized by the production of antibodies to viral antigens, and the secretion of EBV DNA into buccal fluids. Following immunization with envelope glycoprotein gp340 derived from a bovine papilloma virus expression vector, prior to EBV infection, viral DNA was detected significantly less frequently in the buccal fluids of immunized, than of nonimmunized, infected animals, indicating that although the carrier state had not been abolished, it had been altered. A reduction in virus load was also observed when offspring of seronegative, and on occasion seropositive, parents were immunized neonatally, before EBV challenge.

Proteomic analysis of lamellar bodies isolated from rat lungs (2008)

This proteomic profiling of lamellar bodies provides a basis for further investigations of functional roles of the identified proteins in lamellar body biogenesis and surfactant secretion.
Physiological effects of dietary fructans extracted fromAgave tequilanaGto. andDasylirionspp. (2007)

Recent data reported that inulin-type fructans extracted from chicory roots regulate appetite and lipid/glucose metabolism, namely, by promoting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) production in the colon. The Agave genus growing in different regions of Mexico also contains important amounts of original fructans, with interesting nutritional and technological properties, but only few data report their physiological effect when added in the diet. Therefore, we decided to evaluate in parallel the effect of supplementation with 10 % agave or chicory fructans on glucose and lipid metabolism in mice. Male C57Bl/6J mice were fed a standard (STD) diet or diet supplemented with Raftilose P95 (RAF), fructans from Agave tequilana Gto. (TEQ) or fructans from Dasylirion spp. (DAS) for 5 weeks. The body weight gain and food intake in mice fed fructans-containing diets were significantly lower than the ones of mice fed the STD diet, TEQ leading to the lowest value. Serum glucose and cholesterol were similarly lower in all fructans-fed groups than in the STD group and correlated to body weight gain. Only RAF led to a significant decrease in serum TAG. As previously shown for RAF, the supplementation with agave fructans (TEQ and DAS) induced a higher concentration of GLP-1 and its precursor, proglucagon mRNA, in the different colonic segments, thus suggesting that fermentable fructans from different botanical origin and chemical structure are able to promote the production of satietogenic/incretin peptides in the lower part of the gut, with promising effects on glucose metabolism, body weight and fat mass development.
Non-deterministic reconfiguration of tree formations (2008)

We consider a network of mobile agents in an initially unknown acyclic network configuration and the problem of reconfiguring them into a desired network topology and formation geometry while maintaining connectivity in an asynchronous network. We model the system and solution as an embedded graph grammar and use a method of lexicographically ordered Lyapunov functions to show the system converges non-deterministically regardless of the initial network structure and the order of the communication events.
Enhancing the activity of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from CdSe quantum dots with a polyoxovanadate cluster (2020)

We report the improvement of photocatalytic proton reduction using molecular polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters as hole scavengers for CdSe quantum dots. The increased hydrogen production is explained by favorable charge interactions between reduced forms of the cluster and the charge on the quantum dots arising from the capping ligands.
Lowe syndrome–linked endocytic adaptors direct membrane cycling kinetics with OCRL in Dictyostelium discoideum (2019)

Mutations of the inositol 5-phosphatase OCRL cause Lowe syndrome (LS), characterized by congenital cataract, low IQ, and defective kidney proximal tubule resorption. A key subset of LS mutants abolishes OCRL's interactions with endocytic adaptors containing F&H peptide motifs. Converging unbiased methods examining human peptides and the unicellular phagocytic organism <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> reveal that, like OCRL, the <i>Dictyostelium</i> OCRL orthologue Dd5P4 binds two proteins closely related to the F&H proteins APPL1 and Ses1/2 (also referred to as IPIP27A/B). In addition, a novel conserved F&H interactor was identified, GxcU (in <i>Dictyostelium)</i> and the Cdc42-GEF FGD1-related F-actin binding protein (Frabin) (in human cells). Examining these proteins in <i>D. discoideum</i>, we find that, like OCRL, Dd5P4 acts at well-conserved and physically distinct endocytic stations. Dd5P4 functions in coordination with F&H proteins to control membrane deformation at multiple stages of endocytosis and suppresses GxcU-mediated activity during fluid-phase micropinocytosis. We also reveal that OCRL/Dd5P4 acts at the contractile vacuole, an exocytic osmoregulatory organelle. We propose F&H peptide-containing proteins may be key modifiers of LS phenotypes.
SEDS: setting environmental decisions for sediment, a decision making tool for sediment management (2000)

The need for guidance on the management of contaminated sediment has been articulated by the International Joint Commission, scientists and resource managers in many jurisdictions. There is a growing convergence on what constitutes a valid comprehensive sediment assessment but active debate on how to synthesize multiple pieces of information on sediment chemistry, biological information from field monitoring and laboratory sediment bioassessment. Recognizing the current state of knowledge, we provide a recommended approach to bioassessment sediment management strategies. The intent is to facilitate the formulation of data interpretation tools needed for a decision making process that is flexible to enable site-specific determination regarding the need to take action beyond the control of sources of contamination. While the concepts contained herein have been employed implicitly in Canada and Ontario, the details on data collection, evaluation, and reaching a management decision are explicitly laid out in this paper. It is expected that field application of this approach could lead to modifications of this framework.
Back Cover: Long Alkyl Chain NHC Palladium Complexes for the Amination and Hydrodehalogenation of Aryl Chlorides in Lipophilic Media (ChemCatChem 4/2017) (2017)

The Cover shows the long-chain NHC-based catalyst represented as a broom, in an adaption of “The Sorcerer's Apprentice” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe from Weimar, one of the most famous German poems:“Stand up here on two legs, screw a head on top,Run down to the stream's edge, with the water pot!” (translation from German)In their Communication, A. Rühling, L. Rakers et al. described the development of long-chain-NHC palladium complexes for catalysis in apolar solvents, which exhibit attractive properties from an industrial point of view. The long-chain-NHCs enhance the catalysts′ solubility in such solvents and therefore enables the catalytic amination and hydrodehalogenation of aryl chlorides. Mechthild Weiling-Bäcker (weiling-baecker@web.de) is gratefully acknowledged for creating the cover art. More information can be found in the Communication by A. Rühling et al. on page 547 in Issue 4, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201600963).
High Sucrose Diets Promote Intestinal Epithelial Cell Proliferation and Tumorigenesis in APC Min Mice by Increasing Insulin and IGF-I Levels (2008)

Epidemiological studies report that high sucrose consumption is associated with increased risk of colon cancer. One hypothesis is that this association is mediated by elevated circulatory insulin and IGF levels promoting intestinal proliferation. To test this hypothesis, APC(Min) mice and their wild type littermates were fed, starting at 4 wk of age, sucrose or cornstarch as the sole carbohydrate source in the absence or presence of low levels of dietary sulindac for 10 or 16 wk, respectively. APC(Min) mice fed sucrose had an increased tumor number in the proximal third of the small intestine in both studies and a higher incidence of papillary colon tumors in the 16-wk feeding study (P < or = 0.05). Mice fed sucrose (relative to cornstarch) had higher body weights and greater Ki67-labeling indexes in colonic epithelium than mice fed cornstarch in both feeding studies (P < or = 0.05). Furthermore, mice fed sucrose had higher serum glucose and liver IGF-I mRNA concentrations (P < or = 0.05) and tended to have higher serum insulin levels (P = 0.08). These results support the hypothesis that high dietary sucrose intake promotes intestinal proliferation and tumorigenesis by increasing circulating levels of insulin and IGF-I.
Pheromones and animal behaviour: communication by smell and taste (2003)

We are entering one of the most exciting periods in the study of chemical communication since the first pheromones were identified some 40 years ago. This rapid progress is reflected in this book, the first to cover the whole animal kingdom at this level for 25 years. The importance of chemical communication is illustrated with examples from a diverse range of animals including humans, marine copepods, Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, moths, snakes, goldfish, elephants and mice. It is designed to be advanced, but at the same time accessible to readers whatever their scientific background. For students of ecology, evolution and behaviour, this book gives an introduction to the rapid progress in our understanding of olfaction at the molecular and neurological level. In addition, it offers chemists, molecular and neurobiologists an insight into the ecological, evolutionary and behavioural context of olfactory communication.
Influence of weight management on the prognosis of steatohepatitis in chronic hepatitis B patients during antiviral treatment (2021)

Lower BMI and weight reduction but not virologic factors determine NASH resolution in CHB. The value of weight management in CHB patients during antiviral treatment deserves further evaluation.
2309 Reducing Lateral Contact Forces of Low-Floor LRV using Friction Control (2010)

In this investigation, curving performance for low-floor light rail vehicles (LRV) with friction controls on wheel/rail interface is discussed. To this end, creep force model subjected to friction modifiers is developed and then the validity of the proposed model is presented by comparison with the measurement data. It is shown with the proposed creep force model that use of friction modifiers on inner track is effective for reducing lateral contact forces of LRV with independently rotating wheels.
Pleural innate response activator B cells protect against pneumonia via a GM-CSF-IgM axis (2014)

Pneumonia is a major cause of mortality worldwide and a serious problem in critical care medicine, but the immunophysiological processes that confer either protection or morbidity are not completely understood. We show that in response to lung infection, B1a B cells migrate from the pleural space to the lung parenchyma to secrete polyreactive emergency immunoglobulin M (IgM). The process requires innate response activator (IRA) B cells, a transitional B1a-derived inflammatory subset which controls IgM production via autocrine granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling. The strategic location of these cells, coupled with the capacity to produce GM-CSF-dependent IgM, ensures effective early frontline defense against bacteria invading the lungs. The study describes a previously unrecognized GM-CSF-IgM axis and positions IRA B cells as orchestrators of protective IgM immunity.
Dynamic common pilot power management in a real hot spot environment (2005)

This paper focuses on the analysis of 3G mobile communications systems in scenarios with non-uniformly distributed traffic. Special attention is paid to the impact of hot spots on uplink BLER and admission control. Load balance is carried out by dynamically varying common pilot power. Results reveal that the performance of the system in the uplink may be improved when applying such technique
Color functional images of the cerebral blood flow. (1976)

Functional gamma imaging, in color, was established for regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using 133Xe. During 10 min after intracarotid injection of 133Xe in saline, 60 picture frames of the 133Xe clearance curve for the entire hemisphere were obtained. After nine-point smoothing, the rCBF for each of the 4,096 picture elements was calculated by two methods: the half-time method and the height-over-area method. Both the 133Xe clearance half-times and the calculated CBF values were displayed, using 13 steps of color, as functional CBF images of the brain. Images of peak count and total count were also displayed on the same frame of the color television. Forty-six studies, performed on 37 patients with various cerebral disorders, were divided into two types: diffuse and focal. In the diffuse type, a decrease in CBF was noted in cases of normal-pressure hydrocephalus; successful ventriculoperitoneal shunt operations were followed by recovery of CBF. Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery showed up as a wedge-shaped area of decreased CBF, even when the conventional brain scan looked normal. Increased perfusion to a tumor was frequently associated with decreased CBF in the rest of the lateral hemisphere; such a decrease could be improved by surgical removal of the tumor.
Burn-associated Bone Disease in Sheep: Roles of Immobilization and Endogenous Corticosteroids (1996)

To determine the role of immobilization in the pathogenesis of burn-associated bone disease, we selected the sheep as a model to study the effects of burn injury compared with a sham-burned control group. Seven of the sheep were subjected to controlled 40% flame burn, and seven underwent anesthesia with arterial and venous cannulation but without burn. After labeling newly formed bone with tetracycline and calcein, the sheep were killed 2 weeks after burn or sham burn, and the iliac crest and lumbar vertebrae were analyzed for histomorphometry. Analysis failed to demonstrate a significant reduction of bone formation rate in the burned sheep. Osteoid area and surface and osteoblast surface, which correlated significantly with bone formation rate (r = 0.49, p < 0.025), were reduced in the burned sheep. Results suggest that immobilization may play a primary role in the pathogenesis of burn-associated bone disease, but the presence of differences in other histomorphometric features indicates the bone disease is multifactorial.
Using Biofunctionalized Nanoparticles To Probe Pathogenic Bacteria (2004)

In this paper, we report a method for fabricating biofunctionalized nanoparticles by attaching human immunoglobulin (IgG) onto their surfaces through either electrostatic interactions or covalent binding. We found that these IgG-presenting nanoparticles can bind selectively to the cell walls of pathogens that contain IgG-binding sites based on the investigation of transmission electron microscopy images. Our results demonstrate that such Au-IgG nanoparticles may serve as useful nanoscale probes for exploring the interactions between IgG and pathogens. Furthermore, the IgG-presenting magnetic nanoparticles have been employed as effective affinity probes for selectively concentrating traces of target bacteria from sample solutions. The trapped bacteria were then characterized by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The lowest cell concentration we detected for both Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Staphylococcus aureus in aqueous sample solutions (0.5 mL) was approximately 3 x 10(5) cfu/mL, while the detectable cell concentration for S. saprophyticus in a urine sample was approximately 3 x 10(7) cfu/mL.
Recent finds of more slab-graves in the Berman Valley, Peninsular, Malaysia (1992)

Stone cist graves have long been known from a limited number of areas in Southeast Asia, especially from the Bernam Valley of Peninsular Malaysia, the Pasemah highlands of south Sumatra, and from central, west and east Java. Solitary finds of stone cist graves have also been reported from South Vietnam, at Sa Huynh and Xuan Loc, and the Philippines l. These cist graves are normally regarded as Late Metal Age antiquities from the early first millennium AD and are also considered to be one of the many manifestations of early Southeast Asian egalithic cultures. One scholar (Heine-Geldern, 1945), for instance, had grouped these stone monuments as belonging to a younger megalithic complex considered to be distinct from earlier megalithic cultures predating the Metal Age.
