Fatty Acid Profiles of Some Fabaceae Seed Oils (2016)

Abstract The fatty acid profiles of six seed oils of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) family are reported and discussed. These are the seed oils of Centrosema pubescens , Clitoria ternatea , Crotalaria mucronata , Macroptilium lathyroides , Pachyrhizus erosus , and Senna alata . The most common fatty acid in the fatty acid profiles of these oils is linoleic acid with palmitic, stearic, oleic and linolenic acids usually completing the most prominent fatty acids in these species. Long‐chain saturated fatty acids were observed in all oils. Centrosema pubescens and Macroptilium lathyroides exhibited the greatest amounts of long‐chain saturated fatty acids exceeding the amount of stearic acid in these oils. C. pubescens exhibited slightly more that 6 % C24:0 together with some fatty acids &gt;C25 and M. lathyroides approximately 4 % C22:0 and 3 % C24:0. The results are comparatively discussed to previous data on the fatty acid profiles of Fabaceae species.
Fluids in deforming meshes (2005)

This paper describes a simple modification to an Eulerian fluid simulation that permits the underlying mesh to deform independent of the simulated fluid's motion. The modification consists of a straightforward adaptation of the commonly used semi-Lagrangian advection method to account for the mesh's motion. Because the method does not require more interpolation steps than standard semi-Lagrangian integration, it does not suffer from additional smoothing and requires only the added cost of updating the mesh. By specifying appropriate boundary conditions, mesh boundaries can behave like moving obstacles that act on the fluid resulting in a number of interesting effects. The paper includes several examples that have been computed on moving tetrahedral meshes.

Structural effects on electrical properties in amorphous semiconducting materials (1975)

The report consists of two parts and appendices. In part one, the relationship between microstructural and electrical properties of semiconducting glass systems was examined. The glass systems of primary concern were the amorphous chalcogenides and the transition metal phosphates. The As2Se3-As2Te3 glasses have been characterized microstructurally, compositionally, electrically; and switching has been examined. The transition metal oxide phosphate glasses have also been microstructurally characterized as well as electrically characterized. This class of glasses has also been carefully characterized in a chemical manner. In part two, the magnetic properties of a series of transition metal phosphate glasses have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. A theoretical model for amorphous antiferromagnets such as these glasses has been proposed and tested. In addition, the advantages of magnetic experiments in studies of glass structure have been demonstrated.
Monoclonal antibodies against recombinant-MAGE-1 protein identify a cross-reacting 72-kDa antigen which is co-expressed with MAGE-1 protein in melanoma cells (1996)

The MAGE-1 gene codes for tumor-associated peptides recognized by cytolytic T lymphocytes in association with MHC-class-1 molecules such as HLA-A1 and HLA-Cw16. In the course of a study aiming at the immunohistochemical detection of the MAGE-1 gene product in tumor samples, 2 mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against a full-length recombinant MAGE-1 fusion protein were found to react strongly not only with the 46-kDa MAGE-1 protein, but also with a 72-kDa product in immunoblots of lysates obtained from several MAGE-1-mRNA-positive melanoma cell lines. Pre-incubation of the antibodies with the recombinant MAGE-1 fusion protein abolished their reactivity both with MAGE-1 protein and with the 72-kDa product, thus confirming the occurrence of antigenic determinant(s) shared by the 2 proteins. The 72-kDa protein is not an alternative product of MAGE-1, since it was still detected in lysates of a MAGE-1 loss variant derived from a MAGE-1-positive melanoma cell line. Moreover, the 72-kDa protein does not appear to be a product of the other members of the MAGE gene family known to be expressed in tumors (such as MAGE-2, -3, -4 and -12). Interestingly, expression of the 72-kDa protein was found to be correlated with that of MAGE-1 protein. Thus, in 30 tumor cell lines analyzed by immunoblotting and RT-PCR, the 72-kDa protein was never detected in MAGE-1-mRNA-negative cell lines, while it was co-expressed with MAGE-1 protein in 12 out of 15 cell lines expressing MAGE-1. Furthermore, the 72-kDa protein was detected in lysates of human testis, the only normal tissue known to express MAGE-1. Finally, treatment of MAGE-1-mRNA-negative cell lines with 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine, a hypomethylating agent known to induce MAGE-1 expression, resulted in the expression of the 72-kDa protein. Taken collectively, these findings suggest that expression of the gene encoding the 72-kDa protein identified in this study through antigenic determinant(s) shared with MAGE-1 protein is regulated in a way similar to that of MAGE-1.
Rooting Depth and Dry Matter Development of Sunflower (1993)

Abstract The use of modeling and computers increases the potential to estimate crop water use and irrigation requirements. However, for that potential to be realized, data on root growth are needed for model development and/or input. Few field studies have included direct measurement of sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) root development. Our objective was to examine plant development, with emphasis on rooting depth, of field‐grown sunflower. The study was in 1985 and 1986 near Manhattan, KS on deep, barrier‐free, Muir silt loam soil (fine‐silty, mixed, mesic Cumulic Haplustoll). Regression analysis was applied to data on root growth and aboveground development. The resulting equations were then used to examine growth patterns and rates of development. Canopy height reached its maximum of 2.40 m during the latter part of disk flowering. The maximum rate of height increase was 72 mm d −1 and occurred during early bud formation. Roots reached the deepest soil depth of 2.18 m late in the growing season (95% of the total of thermal units from emergence to physiological maturity). Roots reached 1.88 m at the beginning of disk flowering and 2.02 m at the completion of disk flowering. Rate of advance of the deepest observed root decreased linearly from 43 mm d −1 during mid June (eight leaves emerged). Green leaf area index (LAI) reached its maximum immediately prior to disk flowering. Dry mass of leaves, stems, and heads reached maximums at late disk flowering, back of head yellow with bracts still green, and physiological maturity (no green on head), respectively. Total aboveground dry mass reached its maximum at 85% of the total of thermal units from emergence to physiological maturity. The rate of total aboveground dry mass yield was greatest near mid season (48% of total thermal units). The data on sunflower rooting depth reported in this article will assist in estimation of crop water use.
XWRAPComposer (2011)

We present a service-oriented architecture and a set of techniques for developing wrapper code generators, including the methodology of designing an effective wrapper program construction facility and a concrete implementation, called XWRAPComposer. Our wrapper generation framework has two unique design goals. First, we explicitly separate tasks of building wrappers that are specific to a Web service from the tasks that are repetitive for any service, thus the code can be generated as a wrapper library component and reused automatically by the wrapper generator system. Second, we use inductive learning algorithms that derive information flow and data extraction patterns by reasoning about sample pages or sample specifications. More importantly, we design a declarative rule-based script language for multi-page information extraction, encouraging a clean separation of the information extraction semantics from the information flow control and execution logic of wrapper programs. We implement these design principles with the development of the XWRAPComposer toolkit, which can semi-automatically generate WSDL-enabled wrapper programs. We illustrate the problems and challenges of multi-page data extraction in the context of bioinformatics applications and evaluate the design and development of XWRAPComposer through our experiences of integrating various BLAST services.

A micro biomimetic manta ray robot fish actuated by SMA (2009)

The paper presented a design of a micro biomimetic manta ray robot fish actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) wire, verified that SMA wire is a feasible actuator. The robot fish is quitely similar to manta ray in shape. It also have a flat-form body and a pair of triangular flexible pectoral fins. In our experiment, we researched the flexible pectoral fin shape change, and then the forward swimming and turning swimming performance were evaluated. We also give the results of the robot fish's speed and amplitude in different actuating pulse width. It can swim with good stability and stealthily. The micro biomimetic manta ray robot fish is suitable to do investigation in narrow space of the ocean.
Evolving Security Policies (2010)

As computer system size and complexity grow, formulating effective policies require more sophistication. There are many risk factors that need to be considered, some of which may be in conflict. Inevitably, unpredictable circumstances that demand decisions will arise during operation. In some cases an automated response may be imperative; in other cases these may be ill-advised. Manual decisions are often made that override the current policy and serve effectively to redefine it. This matter is further complicated in highly dynamic operational environments like mobile ad-hoc networks, in which the risk factors may be changing continually. Thus, security policies must be able to change and adapt to the operational needs.&#13;\n&#13;\nThis study investigates the potential of evolutionary algorithms as a tool in determining the optimal security policies that suit such environments. This thesis reviews some fundamental concepts in related domains. It presents three applications of evolutionary algorithms in solving problems that are of direct relevance. These include the inference of security policies from decision examples, the dynamic adaptation of security policies, and the optimisation of security policies for a specific set of missions. The results show that the inference approaches based on evolutionary algorithms are very promising.&#13;\n&#13;\nThe thesis concludes with an evaluation of the work done, the extent to which the work justifies the thesis hypothesis and some possible directions on how evolutionary algorithms can be applied to address a wider range of relevant problems in the domain of concern.
Design rules to avoid tunnel cracking in vilsi interconnects during process flow (2005)

A failure analysis based on an energy approach is used to study a two metal level structure in VLSI interconnects. The failure scenario of a channel cracking at the interface low-k /TaNTa is treated for the first level. A finite element FE model has been developed which shows the impact of the layout and the process on the stress level and interface decohesion probability in this structure. In addition, some general design rules are deduced from these calculations to avert crack propagation in interconnects.
High-Order Monocycle Design and Its Waveform-Generating Circuit for UWB Communications (2007)

Ultra-wide-band (UWB) technology can provide data throughput rate at gigabit per second. UWB also shows promising potentials for use in short-range indoor wireless communications and outdoor ad hoc networking. Adopting ultra-short impulses in UWB transmission, however, make systems vulnerable to timing jitter. To overcome this challenge, we propose a time-hopping high- order waveform modulation scheme in this paper. Central to our design is the adaptation of a high-order monocycle (HOM), which provides timing-jitter robust UWB communications. We present a CMOS pulse generator circuit to produce the HOM monocycle. We also use 0.18-mum CMOS technology with 1.8-V power supply to simulate the monocycle generator design using the Cadence software. The simulation results show that our generated waveform meets the UWB communication and the FCC requirements. Our modulation scheme outperforms other systems using traditional monocycles in terms of timing-jitter robustness.
Explorative Screening of Bioactivities Generated by Plant-Based Proteins after In Vitro Static Gastrointestinal Digestion (2020)

The gastrointestinal digestion of food proteins can generate peptides with a wide range of biological activities. In this study, we screened various potential bioactivities generated by plant-based proteins. Whey protein as an animal protein reference, five grades of pea protein, two grades of wheat protein, and potato, fava bean, and oat proteins were submitted to in vitro SGID. They were then tested in vitro for several bioactivities including measures on: (1) energy homeostasis through their ability to modulate intestinal hormone secretion, to inhibit DPP-IV activity, and to interact with opioid receptors; (2) anti-hypertensive properties through their ability to inhibit ACE activity; (3) anti-inflammatory properties in Caco-2 cells; (4) antioxidant properties through their ability to inhibit production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Protein intestinal digestions were able to stimulate intestinal hormone secretion by enteroendocrine cells, to inhibit DPP-IV and ACE activities, to bind opioid receptors, and surprisingly, to decrease production of ROS. Neither pro- nor anti-inflammatory effects have been highlighted and some proteins lost their pro-inflammatory potential after digestion. The best candidates were pea, potato, and fava bean proteins.
The efficient synthesis of azaamino acids (2002)

An efficient method of synthesis of N-t-butoxycarbonyl-azaamino acid ethyl esters has been described. This method consisted of three stages including: hydrazone formation, its reduction and acylation with ethyl chloroformate. The second step - reduction of the hydrazones to the appropriate hydrazides - was the most challenging. Some reducing agents have been tested, though NaBH 3 CN was found to lead to the final products with the highest yields in relatively short time and even to allowthe selective reduction of C-N bond in the presence of nitro group.
Asymmetric Syntheses of (−)-Malyngolide and (−)-Frontalin by Utilizing Bakers’ Yeast Reduction of S-Ethyl 2-Cyclopentanonecarboxylthioate (1988)

Abstract Bakers’ yeast reduction of S-ethyl 2-cyclopentanonecarboxylthioate affords optically pure S-ethyl (1R,2S)-2-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylthioate which is stereoselectively converted into (−)-malyngolide and (−)-frontalin.
Traversing the Valley of Death: A Guide to Assessing Prospects for Translational Success (2009)

On the basis of our experience in drug and device development, we have identified six broad categories of issues that profoundly affect the probability for successful translation of basic scientific discoveries into effective therapies. Within each category, we propose a series of questions that form the beginnings of a self-guided global risk assessment tool. Although this preliminary tool will require validation and adjustment, we offer it to stimulate a discussion about more rigorous methods for selecting and conducting translational projects.
Adjuvants in Cancer Vaccines - Progress and Challenges (2017)

Ever since the use of aluminium hydroxide (alum) as a potent adjuvant, there has been a colossal rise in the available adjuvants of varied nature for vaccine development. We now have come to a point where we know that some of the immune components such as cytokines are themselves associated with adjuvant properties. However, despite hundreds of well-designed pre-clinical candidates obtained after decades of research, only a handful of vaccine adjuvants have been approved and licensed for human use. This may be attributed to the complexity and the difficulty in designing adjuvants that are safe, potent and economically viable. However recent advances in our understanding of innate immunity, the immune response pathways and the mechanism of adjuvant interactions has led to better adjuvant formulations. For cancer, the success stories of treatment through immunotherapy were not as significant as that of chemo- or radiotherapy. However, vaccine development research has got an enormous attention after the US FDA approval of various preventive cancer vaccines such as Gardasil (Merck), Cervarix (Glaxosmithkline) and the therapeutic vaccine Sipulencel-T (Provenge). Approval of these vaccines has invigorated the use of cellular immunotherapy as an effective alternate method for the treatment of cancer and has provided support for renewed interest and attention which the development of new therapeutic cancer vaccines deserves. The present chapter discusses the role, mechanism of action, current clinical scenario of new cancer vaccine adjuvants, application of their molecularly defined formulations to new generation cancer vaccines and the future challenges, for the benefit of a varied audience.

Antigenic and Genomic Diversity within Group A Respiratory Syncytial Virus (1991)

Antigenic analysis using monoclonal antibodies and genomic analysis using ribonuclease protection was done on 47 isolates of group A respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) recovered from children in St. Louis during four RSV seasons. Antigenic analysis identified four subgroups; of the three that included more than one member, those designated A/2 and A/2V had characteristic ribonuclease protection patterns. A third subgroup, A/4, exhibited more extensive genomic heterogeneity, but all isolates were distinguishable from those in subgroups A/2 and A/2V. Individual RSV epidemic seasons included isolates representing multiple subgroups of group A and multiple intrasubgroup variants, in addition to isolates from group B. Isolates that were indistinguishable by either antigenic or genomic analysis were present in more than one epidemic season. The subgroups may represent parallel evolutionary lineages, whose relevance to RSV immunity and pathogenesis requires further study.

Vision-based motion control of a flexible robot for surgical applications (2014)

In recent years, continuum robots have gained significant momentum in terms of technological maturity and clinical application. Their flexibility allows complex treatment sites to be reached with minimal trauma to the patient. However the reliable control of continuum robots is still an ongoing research issue in the robotics community because their deformable structure makes the modeling of these devices difficult. This motivates the use of external sensors or vision to achieve accurate control. In this paper, a motion control framework based on a vision sensor is proposed in order to perform accurate and controlled movements of a flexible robot that is mounted to an anthropomorphic robotic arm. The vision sensor, which relies on a single camera, provides accurate 3D shape reconstruction and spatial localisation of the flexible robot. This information is used to provide feedback for the real-time control of the flexible robot. The vision sensor detects the robot first in an image stream by modeling its appearance using compressed visual features in an online learning framework. This is combined with the kinematics information from the anthropomorphic robotic arm in order to accurately reconstruct and localise the 3D shape of the flexible robot by minimizing an energy function. Detailed analysis of the framework and a validation are presented in order to demonstrate the practical value of the proposed method.
Chromatin Structure and Radiation-induced DNA Strand Breaks in Human Cells: Soluble Scavengers and DNA-bound Proteins Offer a Better Protection Against Single- than Double-strand Breaks (1995)

In the present investigation we have studied the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (dsbs) in different chromatin substrates and made a comparison with our previous results on radiation-induced single-strand breaks (ssb). Removal of soluble scavengers increased the number of ssbs by a factor of 2, but increased dsbs only 1.2 times. Decondensation of the chromatin increased ssbs and dsbs to the same extent, by a factor of 3-4. Removal of DNA-bound proteins gave an additional increase in ssbs and dsbs by a factor of 14 and 5 respectively. The increase in both ssbs and dsbs was caused by OH radicals. The differential effect on ssbs and dsbs can be explained by assuming that dsbs are formed mainly by multiple hits from clusters of ionizations close to the DNA. When the DNA-bound proteins are removed, more distant radicals can reach the DNA, which favours ssb formation. Under those conditions dsbs also induced by single OH radicals become important. DNA-bound proteins protect DNA only to a limited extent by acting as scavengers of OH radicals. The largest part of the protection depends on the fact that DNA in the chromatin is made up of large, compact aggregates, where the distance between separate aggregates exceeds the effective range of the OH radicals and the amount of water inside the aggregates is too small to give a maximal contribution of OH radicals compared with when DNA is more evenly distributed in a given volume.

Query Expansion with Locally-Trained Word Embeddings (2016)

Continuous space word embeddings have received a great deal of attention in the natural language processing and machine learning communities for their ability to model term similarity and other relationships. We study the use of term relatedness in the context of query expansion for ad hoc information retrieval. We demonstrate that word embeddings such as word2vec and GloVe, when trained globally, underperform corpus and query specific embeddings for retrieval tasks. These results suggest that other tasks benefiting from global embeddings may also benefit from local embeddings.
