Pediatric Hand Friction Burns from Treadmill Contact (2007)

Treadmill friction burns to the hands of children can lead to limitations of the motion of the hand. Because this problem is completely preventable, parents and treadmill manufacturers are encouraged to be proactive in preventing these injuries. In addition, prompt initiation of wound care and hand therapy is integral to a favorable outcome.
Genotype Distribution and Demographic Characteristics of Hepatitis C Virus Nucleic Acid Testing Yield Cases Among US Blood Donors (2022)

Voluntary nonremunerated blood donors are at low risk for HCV infection. Since 2015, the frequency of HCV-NAT-yield cases decreased despite an increase in acute HCV infection in the general population. HCV subgenotypes 1a and 3a continue to remain predominant among US blood donors with recent HCV infection.
The mosquito adulticidal Chromobacterium sp. Panama causes transgenerational impacts on fitness parameters and elicits xenobiotic gene responses (2018)

Our findings suggest that C.sp_P produces factor(s) with strong effects on mosquito longevity and fitness, which may be of interest for mosquitocide development. More generally, they indicate that further exploration of mosquito-associated and environmental microbes for novel insecticidal compounds or biocontrol agents is warranted.
The Perception of Location Using Synthetic Auditory Localization Clues: Accuracy and the Effects of Stimulus Bandwidth (1993)

The present experiment was designed to examine the accuracy with which people can localize sounds generated by three-dimensional or 3-D audio devices. Sixty subjects listened to two second pulse trains of white noise, using bandwidths of either 10 kHz, 12 kHz, or 16 kHz. A forced choice paradigm was used in which subject indicated that sound came from one of six azimuth locations (30, 90, 150, 210, 270, or 330 degrees) and one of three elevation locations (- 48, zero or level, and 48 degrees). Stimuli could also come from directly overhead. In all, nineteen possible locations were used (six azimuth by three elevation, plus straight up). Results indicated that with current technology and theoretical knowledge about auditory localization, performance is quite poor. Results are discussed in terms of the application of 3-D audio technology to aircraft cockpits.

A high-precision wideband signal generating method for GNSS antenna arrays (2015)

Adaptive antenna array techniques are critical to maintain the integrity and functionality of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) in interference environments. Performance assessment of GNSS array receivers in a laboratory environment need the generation of array signals. One of the major problems with existing array signals generating methods is the errors introduced by the narrowband assumption, which models the array signals by accounting for phase shifts instead of time delays between the array elements. This will lead to partial optimistic results in anti-jamming performance assessment. In this paper, we proposed a high-precision wideband array signals generating method. It precisely controls the delay of each received signal at different antenna elements by fractional delay filter. Mathematical analyses and simulation results demonstrate that this method can outperform the traditional methods in anti-jamming performance assessment of GNSS antenna arrays.
Effects of growth rate and promoter activity on single-cell protein expression (2017)

Protein expression in a single cell depends on its global physiological state. Moreover, genetically-identical cells exhibit variability (noise) in protein expression, arising from the stochastic nature of biochemical processes, cell growth and division. While it is well understood how cellular growth rate influences mean protein expression, little is known about the relationship between growth rate and noise in protein expression. Here we quantify this relationship in Bacillus subtilis by a novel combination of experiments and theory. We measure the effects of promoter activity and growth rate on the expression of a fluorescent protein in single cells. We disentangle the observed protein expression noise into protein-specific and systemic contributions, using theory and variance decomposition. We find that noise in protein expression depends solely on mean expression levels, regardless of whether expression is set by promoter activity or growth rate, and that noise increases linearly with growth rate. Our results can aid studies of (synthetic) gene circuits of single cells and their condition dependence.

Multi-endpoint toxicological assessment of polystyrene nano- and microparticles in different biological models in vitro (2019)

Nanoplastics (NP) and microplastics (MP) accumulate in our environment as a consequence of the massive consumption of plastics. Huge knowledge-gaps exist regarding uptake and fate of plastic particles in micro- and nano-dimensions in humans as well as on their impact on human health. This study investigated the transport and effects of 50 nm and 0.5 μm COOH-modified polystyrene (PS) particles, as representatives for NP and MP, in different biological models in vitro. Acute toxicity and potential translocation of the particles were studied at the human intestinal and placental barrier using advanced in vitro co-culture models. Furthermore, embryotoxicity and genotoxicity were investigated as highly sensitive endpoints. Polystyrene was not acutely toxic in both sizes (nano- and microparticles). No transport across the intestinal and placental barrier but a cellular uptake and intracellular accumulation of PS nano- and microparticles were determined. The particles were identified as weak embryotoxic and non-genotoxic. In contrast to single-organ studies, this multi-endpoint study is providing a data-set with the exact same type of particles to compare organ-specific outcomes. Our study clearly shows the need to investigate other types of plastics as well as towards long-term or chronic effects of plastic particles in different biological models in vitro.
Optical Capacitance/Conductance-Voltage Characteristics of Stored Charges in Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (2020)

In this paper, capacitance/conductance-voltage characteristics (C/G-V) under illumination was achieved to investigate the dynamic mechanism of stored charges in OLEDs with a structure of ITO/ PEDOT:PSS/PMMA/Alq<sub>3</sub>/Al. For all devices, at least two peaks presented in the optical capacitance-voltage curve. Compared to curves of devices under dark, the first peak increased remarkably with a deviation to <i>V<sub>bi</sub></i>, which can be explained in the form of stored charges combined with the optical conductance characteristics. It was also found that a great decrease in capacitance is followed by the collapse of the first peak with PMMA thickness increased. It can account for the presence of interfacial charges, which is proved further by the conductance curves. To the device with 10 nm PMMA, a third peak took place in optical capacitance and it was due to the storage of electrons by PMMA. Also, the first capacitance peak enhanced approximate linearly as the illumination power increased, which can verify the contribution of the stored charges. Additionally, it shows the potential for the stored charges in optical detections.

Numerical Study on the Flow Past a Twisted Elliptic Cylinder With Subcritical Reynolds Number (2011)

Large eddy simulation of flow past a torsional cylinder has been carried out at a Reynolds number of 3900 based on the cylinder diameter and the free stream velocity using finite volume method. The torsional cylinder has been formed by rotating the elliptic cross sectional area along the spanwise direction. For an ellipse, different eccentricities are considered to observe the effect of eccentricity on the flow fields. The excellent comparisons with previous studies for the cases of a smooth cylinder and a wavy cylinder having sinusoidal variation in cross sectional area along the spanwise direction guarantee the accuracy of present numerical methods. The effect of eccentricity on the drag and lift coefficients representing the fluid flow characteristics has been investigated by comparing with those of the smooth cylinder, resulting in enhancement of drag reduction and suppression of vortex-induced vibration. The isosurface of swirling strength has been adopted to identify the vortical structures in the turbulent wake.
Persistently High Levels of Coagulation Factor XI as a Risk Factor for Venous Thrombosis (2023)

Coagulation factor XI (FXI) promotes fibrin formation and inhibits fibrinolysis. Elevated plasma FXI levels, limited to a single measurement, are associated with a higher thrombotic risk. Our case-control study aimed to identify the effect of persistently increased plasma FXI levels on the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). All patients evaluated between January 2016 and January 2018 for a first episode of proximal DVT of the lower extremity were considered for enrolment. Plasma FXI levels were measured at least 1 month after the discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment (T1). The patients with increased plasma FXI levels (>90th percentile of controls) were tested again 3 months later (T2). Among the 200 enrolled patients (M/F 114/86, age range 26-87 years), 47 patients had increased plasma FXI levels at T1 and16 patients had persistently increased plasma FXI levels at T2. The adjusted odds ratio for DVT was 2.4 (95% CI, 1.3 to 5.5, <i>p</i> < 0.001) for patients with increased FXI levels at T1 and 5.2 (95% CI, 2.3 to 13.2, <i>p</i> < 0.001) for patients with persistently high FXI levels at T2. Elevated FXI levels constitute a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis, and this risk nearly doubled in patients with persistently increased plasma FXI levels. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.
Facile Synthesis of Mesoporous Nickel Cobalt Oxide for OER – Insight into Intrinsic Electrocatalytic Activity (2018)

Abstract The development of novel metal oxide catalysts for electrochemical water splitting has been one of the future challenges in catalysis. We present the development of structured spinel based NiCo 2 O 4 materials using in‐situ hydrothermal synthesis and KIT‐6 as a template. Their electron transfer kinetics in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at pH 14 are studied. Structuring of NiCo 2 O 4 via KIT‐6 improves the intrinsic catalyst performance, e. g., a lower overpotential of ∼350 mV and a good long‐term stability could be observed compared to 385 mV and poor stability of commercially available NiCo 2 O 4 . Kinetic studies provided insights into structure‐activity relations and the nature of the electrode/electrolyte interface. Interestingly, structuring via KIT‐6 increases not only the electrochemical surface area but also the current density accompanied by superior charge transfer capacity.

Fitness-Balanced Escape Determines Resolution of Dynamic Founder Virus Escape Processes in HIV-1 Infection (2015)

Rapid diversification of the viral population is a hallmark of HIV-1 infection, and understanding the selective forces driving the emergence of viral variants can provide critical insight into the interplay between host immune responses and viral evolution. We used deep sequencing to comprehensively follow viral evolution over time in six linked HIV transmission pairs. We then mapped T-cell responses to explore if mutations arose due to adaption to the host and found that escape processes were often highly dynamic, with multiple mutations arising within targeted epitopes. When we explored the impact of these mutations on replicative capacity, we found that dynamic escape processes only resolve with the selection of mutations that conferred escape with no fitness cost to the virus. These results provide further understanding of the complicated viral-host interactions that occur during early HIV-1 infection and may help inform the design of future vaccine immunogens.

Enovin, a member of the glial cell‐line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family with growth promoting activity on neuronal cells (1999)

Glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurturin and persephin are neurotrophic factors involved in neuroneal differentiation, development and maintenance. They act on different types of neuroneal cells and signal through a receptor complex composed of a specific ligand-binding subunit of the GDNF family receptor alpha (GFRalpha) family together with a common signaling partner, the cRET protein tyrosine kinase. We describe the molecular cloning, expression, chromosomal localization and functional characterization of enovin, a fourth GDNF family member almost identical to the recently described artemin. We show the occurence in most tissues of several differently spliced mRNA variants for enovin, of which only two are able to translate into functional enovin protein. Some tissues seem to express only nonfunctional transcripts. These observations may underlie a complex transcriptional regulation pattern. Enovin mRNA expression is detectable in all adult and fetal human tissues examined, but expression levels are highest in peripheral tissues including prostate, placenta, pancreas, heart and kidney. This tissue distribution pattern is in accordance with that of GFRalpha-3, which here is shown to be the preferred ligand-binding receptor for enovin (Kd = 3.1 nM). The human enovin gene is localized on chromosome 1, region p31.3-p32. In vitro, enovin stimulates neurite outgrowth and counteracts taxol-induced neurotoxicity in staurosporine-differentiated SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. The peripheral expression pattern of enovin and its receptor together with its effects on neuroneal cells suggest that enovin might be useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in general and peripheral neuropathies in particular.
Granger Causality-Based Pain Classification Using EEG Evoked by Electrical Stimulation Targeting Nociceptive Aδ and C Fibers (2021)

Classification of pain levels from evoked electroencephalography (eEEG) has been achieved for the purpose of objective assessment of pain. However, differentiation of acute and chronic pain resulting from the activation of nociceptive nerves, the Aδ and C fibers, respectively, has remained unsolved, mainly due to the lack of effective features. Granger causality (GC) was applied to show the role of specific brain areas in the differentiation between pain and tactile sensation but yet was used to differentiate nociceptive fiber activations. The purpose of this study is two-fold: first, to develop pain perception classification systems using GC as features, and second, to identify causal connectivity for effective differentiation of nociceptive fiber activations. The eEEG responding to three stimulation waveforms, 1 Hz square waves, 5 Hz sine waves, both targeting C fibers, and 250 Hz sine waves, targeting Aδ, were recorded. Three GC categories based on channel areas, frequency bands, and stimulation waveforms were computed from the eEEG and used as features to classify nociceptive fiber activations and pain levels. It was found that GCs in the alpha band produced the highest average classification accuracy of 99.71%, followed by the gamma band, with 98.66%. Meanwhile, the GC feature contributing most to differentiating Aδ and C was found in the alpha band. The GC flow computed from the results of 5 Hz and 250 Hz stimulation had an important role in the prediction of mild pain and maximum pain, respectively. These results demonstrated the high potential of GC as features of pain-related information.

III-nitride nanowires: novel materials for solid-state lighting (2011)

Although planar heterostructures dominate current solid-state lighting architectures (SSL), 1D nanowires have distinct and advantageous properties that may eventually enable higher efficiency, longer wavelength, and cheaper devices. However, in order to fully realize the potential of nanowire-based SSL, several challenges exist in the areas of controlled nanowire synthesis, nanowire device integration, and understanding and controlling the nanowire electrical, optical, and thermal properties. Here recent results are reported regarding the aligned growth of GaN and III-nitride core-shell nanowires, along with extensive results providing insights into the nanowire properties obtained using cutting-edge structural, electrical, thermal, and optical nanocharacterization techniques. A new top-down fabrication method for fabricating periodic arrays of GaN nanorods and subsequent nanorod LED fabrication is also presented.
Speech intelligibility and spatial release from masking in maskers with different spectro-temporal modulations (2017)

Speech-reception thresholds (SRTs) decrease as target and maskers are spatially separated (spatial release from masking, SRM) even if two maskers are symmetrically placed around the listener's head. In this case, speech intelligibility (SI) cannot be explained by an improved long-term signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) caused by the head shadow at one better ear alone, but could be facilitated by short-term spectro-temporal segments (“glimpses”) in each ear that provide favorable SNRs. Here it was systematically assessed how SRT and SRM depend on the spectro-temporal masker properties and on the availability of specific binaural cues for a frontal target in a symmetric masker setup. Maskers ranged from stationary noise to single, interfering talkers. Maskers were modified by head-related transfer functions providing different binaural cues (interaural level and time differences; ILD, ITD, both), by presenting only glimpses derived with a fast-switching better-ear mechanism, and an “infinite ILD,” removing crosstalk of the maskers between the ears. Results were compared to model predictions showing that spectral cues contribute to SRM for all maskers, while IPD and ILD cues were more important for modulated maskers. The “infinite ILD” condition suggests binaural processing limitations, resulting in a maximal SRM of 12 dB for low or absent informational masking.
