Biliary motility. (1990)

The delivery ofbile to the duodenum depends on hepatic secretion of bile plus onward propulsion through the biliary tract. Biliary kinetics involve a series of complex interrelationships between gall bladder, cystic duct, common bile duct, sphincter of Oddi and upper small intestine, with control modulation by various neural and hormonal agents. The application of modern techniques to the study of biliary motility has allowed a composite physiological picture to emerge. Moreover, alterations in biliary motility are increasingly implicated in the aetiology of gall stones and postcholecystectomy symptoms. The present review examines recent developments in the understanding of biliary motility and discusses the detailed events involved in delivering bile to the duodenum.

Synthesis of 2-Oxy-3-(pyridinium-1'-yl)-1,4-naphthoquinone Derivatives by Iodine or Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation of 1,4-Naphthoquinones in the Presence of Substituted Pyridines (1997)

2-Oxy-3-(pyridinium-1'-yl)-1,4-naphthoquinone betaines are obtained in moderate to good yield by oxidation of 1,4-naphthoquinones with iodine/MnO2 or hydrogen peroxide in the presence of substituted pyridines. Pyridinium-1,4-naphthoquinone iodides and 2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydronaphthoquinone are suggested intermediates
Detecting human face and recognizing facial expressions using potential net (2002)

The paper deals with the detection of human faces in an image and recognition of their facial expressions using the potential net. Previously, we proposed a method to recognize facial expression using the potential net and KL expansion. In this method, it was necessary to assign a face area manually. This manual process will affect the application of recognition of facial expression to man-machine interaction. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically detect human faces by pattern matching using the potential net and to recognize facial expressions of the detected face area.

X10 (2005)

It is now well established that the device scaling predicted by Moore's Law is no longer a viable option for increasing the clock frequency of future uniprocessor systems at the rate that had been sustained during the last two decades. As a result, future systems are rapidly moving from uniprocessor to multiprocessor configurations, so as to use parallelism instead of frequency scaling as the foundation for increased compute capacity. The dominant emerging multiprocessor structure for the future is a Non-Uniform Cluster Computing (NUCC) system with nodes that are built out of multi-core SMP chips with non-uniform memory hierarchies, and interconnected in horizontally scalable cluster configurations such as blade servers. Unlike previous generations of hardware evolution, this shift will have a major impact on existing software. Current OO language facilities for concurrent and distributed programming are inadequate for addressing the needs of NUCC systems because they do not support the notions of non-uniform data access within a node, or of tight coupling of distributed nodes.We have designed a modern object-oriented programming language, X10, for high performance, high productivity programming of NUCC systems. A member of the partitioned global address space family of languages, X10 highlights the explicit reification of locality in the form of places }; lightweight activities embodied in async , future , foreach , and ateach constructs; a construct for termination detection ( finish ); the use of lock-free synchronization ( atomic blocks ); and the manipulation of cluster-wide global data structures. We present an overview of the X10 programming model and language, experience with our reference implementation, and results from some initial productivity comparisons between the X10 and Java™ languages.

Proximal Femoral Growth Alterations Can Be Seen Prior to Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: A Multicenter Cohort Study (2023)

•Avascular necrosis classification systems in infantile DDH historically have had limited reliability and can be better thought of as proximal femoral growth disturbance (PFGD).•Our study demonstrated that approximately 20% of the patients who were found to have postoperative PFGD/AVN actually had signs of proximal femoral growth disturbance prior to surgery.•These findings suggests that some hips undergoing surgery for DDH may not be morphologically "normal" at baseline and add to the mounting body of evidence about the limitations of the Salter classification for AVN.
Development of a highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) through use of poly-protein G-expressing cell-based microplates (2018)

The sensitivity of traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) is limited by the low binding avidity and heterogeneous orientation of capture antibodies coated on polystyrene-based microplates. Here, we developed a highly sensitive ELISA strategy by fixing poly-protein G-expressing cells on microplates to improve the coating amount and displayed orientation of capture antibodies. One or eight repeated fragment crystallisable (Fc) binding domains of protein G are stably expressed on the surface of BALB/c 3T3 cells (termed 1pG cells or 8pG cells), which then act as highly antibody-trapping microparticles. The 8pG cells showed higher antibody-trapping ability than the 1pG cells did. The antibody-coating amount of the 8pG cell-based microplates was 1.5-23 times and 1.2-6.8 times higher than that of traditional polystyrene-based and commercial protein G-based microplates, respectively. The 8pG cell-based microplates were then applied to an anti-IFN-α sandwich ELISA and an anti-CTLA4 competitive ELISA, respectively, and dramatically enhanced their detection sensitivity. Importantly, direct coating unpurified capture antibody produced by mammalian cells did not impair the antigen-capturing function of 8pG cell-based microplates. The 8pG cell-based microplates exhibited a significant improvement in antibody-coating amount and preserved the homogeneous orientation of capture antibodies, making them a potential replacement for traditional microplates in various formats of ELISAs.

Evaluation of 1.7 kV SiC MOSFETs for a regenerative cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter cell (2018)

High fidelity AC grid emulators allow early testing and qualification of various equipment under conditions close to those expected in reality. Realizing this at medium voltage high power level is associated with certain challenges, some of which are discussed in this paper. Medium voltage grid emulator based on the well-known four-quadrant Robicon topology is considered as platform for realization of the AC grid emulator. To achieve high resolution AC waveform with sufficiently high control bandwidth, SiC based cell design is compared with pure Si and Hybrid (Si+SiC) designs. Using SiC devices for the output H-bridge stage allows significantly higher switching frequencies, improving achievable control bandwidth and improving fidelity of emulator output voltage.
Photonic toroidal vortex (2021)

Toroidal vortices are whirling disturbances rotating about a ring-shaped core while advancing in the direction normal to the ring orifice. Toroidal vortices are commonly found in nature and being studied in a wide range of disciplines. Here we report the experimental observation of photonic toroidal vortex as a new solution to Maxwell's equations with the use of conformal mapping. The helical phase twists around a closed loop leading to an azimuthal local orbital angular momentum density. The preparation of such intriguing light field may offer insights of extending toroidal vortex to other disciplines and find important applications in light-matter interaction, optical manipulation, photonic symmetry and topology, and quantum information.
Analysis of a rare progeria variant of Barrier-to-autointegration factor in Drosophila connects centromere function to tissue homeostasis (2023)

Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF/BANF) is a nuclear lamina protein essential for nuclear integrity, chromatin structure, and genome stability. Whereas complete loss of BAF causes lethality in multiple organisms, the A12T missense mutation of the BANF1 gene in humans causes a premature aging syndrome, called Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome (NGPS). Here, we report the first in vivo animal investigation of progeroid BAF, using CRISPR editing to introduce the NGPS mutation into the endogenous Drosophila baf gene. Progeroid BAF adults are born at expected frequencies, demonstrating that this BAF variant retains some function. However, tissue homeostasis is affected, supported by studies of the ovary, a tissue that depends upon BAF for stem cell survival and continuous oocyte production. We find that progeroid BAF causes defects in germline stem cell mitosis that delay anaphase progression and compromise chromosome segregation. We link these defects to decreased recruitment of centromeric proteins of the kinetochore, indicating dysfunction of cenBAF, a localized pool of dephosphorylated BAF produced by Protein Phosphatase PP4. We show that DNA damage increases in progenitor germ cells, which causes germ cell death due to activation of the DNA damage transducer kinase Chk2. Mitotic defects appear widespread, as aberrant chromosome segregation and increased apoptosis occur in another tissue. Together, these data highlight the importance of BAF in establishing centromeric structures critical for mitosis. Further, these studies link defects in cenBAF function to activation of a checkpoint that depletes progenitor reserves critical for tissue homeostasis, aligning with phenotypes of NGPS patients.
Adaptive modulus quantizer design for matching pursuit video coding (1999)

Overcomplete signal decomposition using matching pursuits has been shown to be an efficient technique for coding motion residual images in a hybrid video coder. Unlike orthogonal decomposition where computation of the transform coefficients is decoupled from quantization, matching pursuit uses an in-loop quantizer which must be specified before coding begins. Optimal quantizer design thus depends on the computed matching pursuit coefficients, but these in turn depend on the chosen quantizer. To resolve this interdependency, we propose frame-adaptive quantization for matching pursuit based on adaptive dead-zone subtraction followed by uniform threshold quantization. Practical 2-pass and 1-pass algorithms are developed which jointly find the quantizer parameters and the number of coded basis functions which minimize coding distortion for a given rate. The compromise 1-pass scheme performs nearly as well as the full 2-pass algorithm, but with the same complexity as a fixed quantizer design. The adaptive schemes are shown to outperform the fixed quantizer used in earlier works, especially at high bit rates where the gain is up to 1.7 dB.
Shape-Selective Oriented Cerium Oxide Nanocrystals Permit Assessment of the Effect of the Exposed Facets on Catalytic Activity and Oxygen Storage Capacity (2015)

The catalytic performance of a range of nanocrystalline CeO2 samples, prepared to have different morphologies, was measured using two accepted indicators; oxygen storage and diesel soot combustion. The same powders were characterized in detail by HR-TEM, XRD, XPS, and Raman methods. The study demonstrates that activity is determined by the relative fraction of the active crystallographic planes, not by the specific surface area of the powders. The physical study is a step toward quantitative evaluation of the relative contribution to activity of the different facets. The synthetic protocol permits fabrication of CeO2 nanostructures with preferentially grown active planes, and therefore has potential in developing catalytic applications and in nanocompositing.
Correlation between susceptibility to malaria and babesia parasites and to endotoxicity (1982)

Adult (185g) rats are about twice as sensitive to the harmful effects of injected endotoxin as are younger (65g) rats. This relationship correlates with an earlier report on the densities of Plasmodium berghei at which deaths occur in rats of these two age groups. Similarly lizards, which withstand very high parasitaemias of malaria parasites, are refractory to very large doses of endotoxin. This correlation appears to hold for malaria and babesiosis in all host species for which information is available, with man, for instance, very sensitive to these infections and to injected endotoxin. It is now realized that endotoxicity is not caused by the direct effects of endotoxin, but is the consequence of the release of a range of harmful soluble mediators, mainly from macrophages. Since the susceptibility of a host species to endotoxicity and to malaria and babesiosis correlate, and the illness produced in each case is very similar, these harmful mediators which cause endotoxicity are likely candidates for the origins of much of the pathology of malaria and babesiosis. This concept may also explain the relationship between parasite density and illness in these infections in man.

<title>Large-area single-mode selectively oxidized VCSELs: approaches and experimental</title> (2000)

We present the investigation of several methods to increase the active diameter of single transverse mode oxide confined VCSELs in both the 850 and 980 nm wavelength regimes. Among the concepts considered are mode intensity specific shallow surface etched reliefs, monolithically increased cavity lengths, current confinement matching the fundamental mode intensity distribution and saturable absorbers. All approaches are introduced in theoretical considerations and corresponding measurement results are presented. Additionally, numerical simulations are performed to gain an increased understanding of some of the mode selection mechanisms. The considered concepts are evaluated in terms of decrease of the series resistance (for impedance matching/driving reasons) and device lifetime (as derived from maximum current densities). The results obtained are also compared to other approaches found in literature (e.g. metal apertures, photocurrent feedback, Fabry-Perot etalon, half-symmetric cavity). Conventional devices with optimized thin oxide aperture location have shown single-mode output powers above 4 mW with an active diameter of 3.5 micrometer. A record high single-transverse mode output power of 5 mW at a series resistance of 98 (Omega) is obtained for a 7 micrometer aperture device by increasing the cavity length monolithically by 4 micrometer.
Non-Coding RNAs: Regulating Disease Progression and Therapy Resistance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2020)

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the primary liver cancer arising from hepatocytes, is a universal health problem and one of the most common malignant tumors. Surgery followed by chemotherapy as well as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as sorafenib, are primary treatment procedures for HCC, but recurrence of disease because of therapy resistance results in high mortality. It is necessary to identify novel regulators of HCC for developing effective targeted therapies that can significantly interfere with progression of the disease process. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are an abundant group of versatile RNA transcripts that do not translate into proteins, rather serve as potentially functional RNAs. The role of ncRNAs in regulating diverse aspects of the carcinogenesis process are gradually being elucidated. Recent advances in RNA sequencing technology have identified a plethora of ncRNAs regulating all aspects of hepatocarcinogenesis process and serving as potential prognostic or diagnostic biomarkers. The present review provides a comprehensive description of the biological roles of ncRNAs in disease process and therapy resistance, and potential clinical application of these ncRNAs in HCC.
Design Considerations and Fully Digital Implementation of 400-Hz Active Power Filter for Aircraft Applications (2013)

This paper proposes the key design guidelines for a fully digitally controlled 400-Hz active power filter (APF), in which the circuit parameter selections and control design remarkably affect the performance of the APF. Detailed design considerations, including APF grid-connected inductance, line inductance, dc bus capacitance, and digital signal processor control implementation, were presented to meet a specific goal. Simulation was given to verify correctness of the design analysis. A 20-kVA prototype was set-up to verify the validity of the APF design considerations. The experimental results show that the APF can compensate the harmonic order up to 13th and reduces total harmonic distortion from 28.9% to 5.7% at full load and achieves good dynamic performance as well.

The simulation of mechanical responses of nonwoven fabrics using an improved meshless discrete algorithm (2022)

The structures of nonwoven fabrics are geometrically complex and random; therefore, optimising them in terms of performance, both in the production process and from a functionality perspective, is an engineering challenge. This paper introduces a computational approach to simulate mechanical responses of nonwoven fabrics under uniaxial displacement controlled loads. The proposed method enables us to simulate the evolution of multiple-fibre damage and the spatial randomness of the geometrical and material properties of nonwoven structures. These effects are critical for successful computational design and optimisation of such nonwoven structures. The algorithm was tested in several numerical examples, and we performed an extensive parametric study.
