[Control of the most important acute virus diseases of calves in the Federal Republic of Germany]. (1978)

In this chapter we will discuss the use of InAs quantum dots for telecom\nwavelength single photon applications. We will describe two molecular\nbeam epitaxial growth techniques to achieve low density distributions of\nquantum dots that are large enough to emit telecom wavelength photons at low temperatures. Single dot spectroscopy in conjunction with timeresolved measurements provide information on the origin of the main emission lines. Correlation spectroscopy using both InGaAs avalanche photodiodes and superconducting single photon detectors will be dis cussed and used to characterize the photon emission statistics. Ungated\nmeasurements at telecom wavelengths using the superconducting single photon detectors offer ready access to additional details in the secondorder correlation function. Progress towards practical electrically driven sources will be presented including oxide aperture and planar cavity LEDs. We will see how the inclusion of electrical contacts enables additional flexibility in the temporal output of a device by tuning the emission wavelength with time-varying Stark shifts.

High Temperature Corrosion of Structural Alloys in Molten Li2BeF4(FLiBe) Salt (2016)

This chapter examines how the static high-temperature corrosion tests of 316 stainless steel and Hastelloy ® in molten FLiBe in graphite crucibles and metal-lined crucibles were conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Li-enriched Li2BeF4 (FLiBe) salt was provided by ORNL from the MSRE program in an experiment. In-reactor corrosion tests of the two alloys in molten FLiBe were carried out in the MITR, a 6 MW, light water-cooled, heavy water-reflected tank-type, nuclear research reactor at the MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (MIT-NRL). After 1000 hours static corrosion testing in furnace, the tested samples were cleaned in deionized water and dried in air. The microstructure of the tested samples was characterized by using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) in conjunction with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). Focused ion beam (FIB) technique was applied to prepare samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis.
Interactive effects of MC1R and OCA2 on melanoma risk phenotypes (2003)

The relationships between MC1R gene variants and red hair, skin reflectance, degree of freckling and nevus count were investigated in 2331 adolescent twins, their sibs and parents in 645 twin families. Penetrance of each MC1R variant allele was consistent with an allelic model where effects were multiplicative for red hair but additive for skin reflectance. Of nine MC1R variant alleles assayed, four common alleles were strongly associated with red hair and fair skin (Asp84Glu, Arg151Cys, Arg160Trp and Asp294His), with a further three alleles having low penetrance (Val60Leu, Val92Met and Arg163Gln). These variants were separately combined for the purposes of this analysis and designated as strong 'R' (OR=63.3; 95% CI 31.9-139.6) and weak 'r ' (OR=5.1; 95% CI 2.5-11.3) red hair alleles. Red-haired individuals are predominantly seen in the R/R and R/r groups with 67.1 and 10.8%, respectively. To assess the interaction of the brown eye color gene OCA2 on the phenotypic effects of variant MC1R alleles we included eye color as a covariate, and also genotyped two OCA2 SNPs (Arg305Trp and Arg419Gln), which were confirmed as modifying eye color. MC1R genotype effects on constitutive skin color, freckling and mole count were modified by eye color, but not genotype for these two OCA2 SNPs. This is probably due to the association of these OCA2 SNPs with brown/green not blue eye color. Amongst individuals with a R/R genotype (but not R/r), those who also had brown eyes had a mole count twice that of those with blue eyes. This suggests that other OCA2 polymorphisms influence mole count and remain to be described.

Exploring the complex interactions of baseline patient factors to improve nursing triage of acute coronary syndrome (2020)

Emergency department (ED) nurses need to identify patients with potential acute coronary syndrome (ACS) rapidly because treatment delay could impact patient outcomes. Aims of this secondary analysis were to identify key patient factors that could be available at initial ED nurse triage that predict ACS. Consecutive patients with chest pain who called 9-1-1, received a 12-lead electrocardiogram in the prehospital setting, and were transported via emergency medical service were included in the study. A total of 750 patients were recruited. The sample had an average age of 59 years old, was 57% male, and 40% Black. One hundred and fifteen patients were diagnosed with ACS. Older age, non-Caucasian race, and faster respiratory rate were independent predictors of ACS. There was an interaction between heart rate by Type II diabetes receiving insulin in the context of ACS. Type II diabetics requiring insulin for better glycemic control manifested a faster heart rate. By identifying patient factors at ED nurse triage that could be predictive of ACS, accuracy rates of triage may improve, thus impacting patient outcomes.

Rheological Characterization of Asphalt Emulsions Residues (2006)

This paper presents the result of an effort to characterize asphalt emulsions that are typically used in cold in-place recycling applications using the current specifications for asphalt binders. Four asphalt emulsions were investigated: CRS-2P, CSS-1, EE, and HFMS-2P. The emulsions were cured using two methods: (1) cure in air at room temperature (air-cured); and (2) use a modified rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) approach (RTFOT-cured). The air-cured samples were also aged in the pressure aging vessel. The residues were tested using the bending beam rheometer (BBR) and the direct tension test at low temperatures and the dynamic shear rheometer at high and intermediate temperatures. The methods described in AASHTO M320 and MP1a specifications were used to determine the critical temperatures for the four asphalt emulsions and master curves of the absolute value of the complex modulus ∣G*∣ were obtained to investigate the rheological behavior of the residues.
Macroscopic behavior and discrete dynamo in high-Θ reversed-field pinch discharges (1993)

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity and the discrete dynamo in high-Θ reversed-field pinch (RFP) discharges are studied through comparisons with those in normal-Θ RFP discharges, where Θ=Bθ(a)/〈Bz〉 is the pinch parameter. In high-Θ RFP discharges, the mode coupling of m=1 is enhanced by the high magnetic shear configuration, and the MHD activity is more turbulent as compared with that in normal-Θ RFP discharges. Furthermore, the discrete increase of the toroidal magnetic flux is obviously observable. The increase of the toroidal magnetic flux generated by the discrete dynamo, which has an asymmetric structure in the toroidal direction, is only 1%–2% of the whole toroidal magnetic flux. The experimental results indicate that the discrete dynamo does not play an essential role in the RFP dynamo.
High efficient optical remote sensing images acquisition for nanosatellite reconstruction algorithms (2017)

Large amount of data is one of the most obvious features in satellite based remote sensing systems, which is also a burden for data processing and transmission. The theory of compressive sensing(CS) has been proposed for almost a decade, and massive experiments show that CS has favorable performance in data compression and recovery, so we apply CS theory to remote sensing images acquisition. In CS, the construction of classical sensing matrix for all sparse signals has to satisfy the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) strictly, which limits applying CS in practical in image compression. While for remote sensing images, we know some inherent characteristics such as non-negative, smoothness and etc.. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to present a novel measurement matrix that breaks RIP. The new sensing matrix consists of two parts: the standard Nyquist sampling matrix for thumbnails and the conventional CS sampling matrix. Since most of sun-synchronous based satellites fly around the earth 90 minutes and the revisit cycle is also short, lots of previously captured remote sensing images of the same place are available in advance. This drives us to reconstruct remote sensing images through a deep learning approach with those measurements from the new framework. Therefore, we propose a novel deep convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture which takes in undersampsing measurements as input and outputs an intermediate reconstruction image. It is well known that the training procedure to the network costs long time, luckily, the training step can be done only once, which makes the approach attractive for a host of sparse recovery problems.
Microbiota-related effects of prebiotic fibres in lipopolysaccharide-induced endotoxemic mice: short chain fatty acid production and gut commensal translocation (2021)

Fructans such as fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin have been reported to directly regulate ileal inflammatory responses in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemic mice, without alterations in the colonic microbiota. Firstly, we replicated this model and found that a single gavage of 10 mg g<sup>-1</sup> of fructans directly promoted caecal acetate and propionate production. Thus, the previous understanding of microbiota-independent effects of prebiotic fructans in endotoxemic mice has been challenged. In parallel, we performed a daily gavage of 160 mg kg<sup>-1</sup> of inulin, xylan, or Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (DOP) for two weeks prior to LPS injection. The long-term intake of prebiotic fibres reduced the bacterial load in the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), and in comparison, a single gavage of fructans increased that. However, the long-term intake was unable to improve the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) synthesis and epithelial barrier function that were impaired by LPS. Notably, the three fibre types consistently reduced the expression of mucin 2 (MUC2) and variously modulated critical mediators (IL-18, IL-22, and HIF-1α) to regulate the host-commensal microbiota interactions in the ileum. In addition, the three fibre types consistently inhibited the inflammatory T helper (Th) cell response in the ileum, while they diversely modulated the peripheral and systemic Th cell responses. Overall, the prebiotic fibres displayed microbiota-related changes in endotoxemic mice, and the potential associations with the in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of prebiotic fibres need further investigation.

Current distributions in silicon–germanium p-MOSFETs (1996)

Simulations of the current distributions in Si–Ge p–MOSFETs are presented for Si–Ge channel designs that have a triangular or a uniform Ge profile. The distributions of current show why the triangular design is better than the uniform Ge profile. Contributions to the transconductance in both designs are dominated by the Si–Ge channel in the −0.5 to −1.5 V gate-voltage range but the contribution to the device performance from the current parallel to the top oxide/Si interface dominates the response by −2.5 V.
UAE6 - Wind Tunnel Tests Data - UAE6 - Sequence B - Raw Data (2022)

Sequences B, C, and D: Downwind Baseline (F), Downwind Low Pitch (F), Downwind High Pitch (F) This test sequence used a downwind, teetered turbine with a 3.4° cone angle. The wind speed ranged from 5 m/s to 25 m/s. Yaw angles of ±180° were achieved at low wind speeds, and yaw angles of -20° to 10° were achieved for high wind speeds. The blade tip pitch was 3° for sequence B, 0° for sequence C, and 6° for sequence D. These three sequences were interleaved during testing because the pitch angle change was easily made by the turbine operator. The rotor rotated at 72 RPM. Blade and probe pressure measurements were collected.
Capacity achieving multiwrite WOM codes (2012)

In this paper we give an explicit construction of a capacity achieving family of binary t-write WOM codes for any number of writes t, that have a polynomial time encoding and decoding algorithms. The block length of our construction is N=(t/ε)^{O(t/(δε))} when εis the gap to capacity and encoding and decoding run in time N^{1+δ}. This is the first deterministic construction achieving these parameters. Our techniques also apply to larger alphabets.
Innate and adaptive immune responses to cell death (2011)

The immune system plays an essential role in protecting the host against infections and to accomplish this task has evolved mechanisms to recognize microbes and destroy them. In addition, it monitors the health of cells and responds to ones that have been injured and killed, even if this occurs under sterile conditions. This process is initiated when dying cells expose intracellular molecules that can be recognized by cells of the innate immune system. As a consequence of this recognition, dendritic cells are activated in ways that help to promote T-cell responses to antigens associated with the dying cells. In addition, macrophages are stimulated to produce the cytokine interleukin-1 that then acts on radioresistant parenchymal cells in the host in ways that drive a robust inflammatory response. In addition to dead cells, a number of other sterile particles and altered physiological states can similarly stimulate an inflammatory response and do so through common pathways involving the inflammasome and interleukin-1. These pathways underlie the pathogenesis of a number of diseases.
A CMOS SiC Linear Voltage Regulator for High Temperature Applications (2016)

Abstract This paper establishes the first linear regulator in a 1.2 μm CMOS silicon carbide (SiC) process. The linear regulator presented consists of a SiC error amplifier and a pass transistor which has a W/L = 70,000 μm / 1.2 μm. The feedback loop is internal and the frequency compensation network is a combination of internal and external components. As a result of potential process variation in this emerging technology, the voltage reference used at the negative input terminal of the error amplifier has been made external. With an input voltage of 20 V to 30 V, the voltage regulator is able to provide a 15 V output and a continuous load current of 100 mA at temperatures ranging from 25 °C to over 400 °C. At a temperature of 400 °C, testing of the fabricated circuit has shown line regulation of less than 4 mV/V. Under the same test conditions, a load regulation of less than 420 mV/A is achieved.
Efficiency of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Postentry Infection Processes: Evidence against Disproportionate Numbers of Defective Virions (2007)

The vast majority of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 particles are claimed to be noninfectious, but there is disagreement as to whether they are defective or simply lack the opportunity to initiate an infection. We have examined the efficiencies of reverse transcription and integration and find that approximately 1 of every 8 virions that initiate reverse transcription form proviruses, a quantity significantly different from the commonly reported ratio of 1 in 1,000. In addition, results from two different infectivity assays demonstrate that the titers are not equivalent to the number of infectious particles. The apparent predominance of noninfectious particles is due to infrequent occurrences of successful virus-cell interactions.
Fuzzy-logic adaptive neural networks for nuclear medicine image restorations (2002)

A novel neural network with adaptive fuzzy logic rule is proposed for image restoration as required for quantitative imaging using a nuclear gamma camera. The overall aims is to compensate for image degradation due to photon scattering and photon penetration through the collimated gamma camera to allow more accurate measurement of radiotracers in vivo. In this work, fuzzy rules are generated to train a membership function using a least mean squares (LMS) algorithm. This membership function allows one to describe rules to differentiate gray levels differences, so that the regularizer parameter can be optimally adjusted, based on the fuzzy membership value. The relative performance of this algorithm is compared to a previously reported neural network based hybrid filter by the authors (Wei Qian et al., 1993-8) using both simulated images with different noise levels and experimentally acquired nuclear images using a gamma camera. The improved signal to noise ratio (/spl Delta/SNR) is used for quantitative measurement. The proposed method has proved to be useful in quantitative imaging using a gamma camera for the planar and tomographic imaging mode using single photon emitters, beta emitters (bremsstrahlung detection) and positron 511 keV imaging.
18F-FET MicroPET and MicroMRI for Anti-VEGF and Anti-PlGF Response Assessment in an Orthotopic Murine Model of Human Glioblastoma (2015)

18F-FET PET was feasible for anti-angiogenic response evaluation and superior to T2w-MRI; however, no additive anti-cancer effect of anti-PlGF and anti-VEGF was observed. Thus, this study supports use of 18F-FET PET for response evaluation in future studies.
Entrepreneurs exit strategies : the role of emotion (2019)

Entrepreneurial exit strategies are the mode through which the entrepreneur intends to exit the firm such as harvest, stewardship, and voluntary cessation. This article examines the impacts of emotional disengagement entrepreneurs feeling of being emotionally distanced from the entrepreneurial activity on entrepreneurial exit strategies. We draw upon survey data across the UK. The analysis finds that entrepreneurs disengagement mediates the effects of antecedents on entrepreneurs intentions to choose different exit routes. However, its mediating effect varies according to the type of exit strategy, including voluntary cessation, harvest, and stewardship. The paper contributes to the understanding of the mechanism of exit intentions.
Extended field of view of light-sheet fluorescence microscopy by scanning multiple focus-shifted Gaussian beam arrays (2021)

Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) facilitates high temporal-spatial resolution, low photobleaching and phototoxicity for long-term volumetric imaging. However, when a high axial resolution or optical sectioning capability is required, the field of view (FOV) is limited. Here, we propose to generate a large FOV of light-sheet by scanning multiple focus-shifted Gaussian beam arrays (MGBA) while keeping the high axial resolution. The positions of the beam waists of the multiple Gaussian beam arrays are shifted in both axial and lateral directions in an optimized arranged pattern, and then scanned along the direction perpendicular to the propagation axis to form an extended FOV of light-sheet. Complementary beam subtraction method is also adopted to further improve axial resolution. Compared with the single Gaussian light-sheet method, the proposed method extends the FOV from 12 μm to 200 μm while sustaining the axial resolution of 0.73 μm. Both numerical simulation and experiment on samples are performed to verify the effectiveness of the method.
