Abstract 1811: The long noncoding RNA KIAA0125 is aberrantly expressed in ameloblastomas (2019)

Abstract Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed RNA molecules that can interact with DNA or RNA, transcription factors, histones and other chromatin modifying proteins, affecting the expression level of a broad spectrum of genes. Because of their tissue-specific expression characteristics, lncRNAs hold strong promise as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for diseases. High-density whole-genome microarray analysis in ameloblastomas, an aggressive odontogenic tumor, and in adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT), an indolent one, showed a high frequency of copy number alteration at chromosome band 14q32.33, which encompasses the lncRNA gene KIAA0125. To understand molecular mechanisms associated with their biological behavior and considering the copy-number gains observed at 14q32.33, we aimed to investigate the expression levels of the lncRNA KIAA0125 in ameloblastomas and in AOTs. The University Ethics Committee approved this study and patients signed informed consent. Thirteen frozen samples were included: five solid/multicystic ameloblastomas, four AOT, and four dental follicles. qPCR reactions were performed in triplicates and the relative changes in gene expression were obtained using the 2^-ΔΔCt formula. The reference gene HPRT1 was used for normalization and the human keratinocyte HaCat cell line was used as calibrator. Differences in the relative changes in gene expression between two groups of samples were assessed and the significance level was set at 0.05. All samples expressed more KIAA0125 than the calibrator. The ameloblastoma group showed higher expression levels of KIAA0125 when compared to dental follicles (p=0.042), while there was no difference between the expression in ameloblastomas and AOT (p&amp;gt;0.05). The expression levels of KIAA0125 in AOT were not different from that of the dental follicle. Our findings suggest that lncRNA KIAA0125 is likely involved in ameloblastoma pathobiology. LncRNAs hold strong promise as therapeutic targets, and experimental validation of this lncRNA functions may lead to tailored therapies targeting KIAA0125 in extensive and recurrent ameloblastomas.

Managing the emergency airway in Le Fort fractures. (1998)

Le Fort fractures are a part of the facial fracture spectrum, sustained from significant forces of impact to the midface. The mechanism of airway obstruction in Le Fort fractures is attributed to midface instability with posterior inferior displacement into the oropharyngeal airway. Otolaryngologists often participate in the evaluation and management of such patients, securing the airway, if necessary. It is important, therefore, to understand the mechanisms responsible for acute airway obstruction in these types of fractures. A retrospective review of 64 cases of Le Fort fractures, representing a 3-year period, was performed to determine the factors responsible for acute airway obstruction. The review disclosed that airway obstruction is due most often to hemorrhage into the upper airway from multiple sources, with inability to handle blood and the oral secretions. An emergency airway was required by one third of the patients with Le Fort fractures in this review.

Cointegration of Gate-All-Around MOSFETs and Local Silicon-on-Insulator Optical Waveguides on Bulk Silicon (2007)

In this work we present a bulk silicon technology platform able to cointegrate gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFETs and local SOI waveguides with pentagonal cross section. Wire diagonals of 100-800 nm are obtained using a lithographic resolution of 0.8 mum. Well-functioning triangular multigate MOSFETs are reported, and tested up to 150 degC. A significant increase is observed in the low-field mobility mu <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0 </sub> for small devices (W <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">eff</sub> les500 nm), which is attributed to local volume inversion in the corners. Preliminary characterization of the optical waveguides is carried out, showing optical losses of a few dB/cm. The processing is entirely CMOS compatible, does not require access to advanced lithography equipment, and is based on a silicon bulk substrate. Thus, this technology might serve as the basis for a low-cost, high-performance optical signaling platform
Performance evaluation of mixing systems in a model anaerobic digester (2013)

Performance of three mixing systems (mechanical mixing, pumped liquid recirculation and gas mixing) was investigated in a laboratory scale model anaerobic digester. A transparent model fluid, xanthan gum Keltrol T (XGKT) solution was used to represent digested sludge due to their similarity in rheological characteristics. Mixing performance in 0.15 and 0.4 wt% XGKT solutions was investigated using a flow visualisation technique involving a decolourisation method with the assistance of a fluorescent dye tracer. A constant specific power input was used for all the three mixing systems. The changes in inactive mixing volume were determined as a function of mixing time for each system. The final inactive volumes in the three mixing systems were compared to determine their mixing efficiencies. Complete mixing with less than 5% inactive volume was achieved in the 0.15 wt% solution in all the three systems. However, a significantly large inactive volume remained undestroyed in the 0.4 wt% solution. The mechanical mixing had the best performance in the 0.15 wt% solution whereas the gas sparging system showed the best mixing efficiency in the 0.4 wt% solution.
Inflight Fluidic Fibre Printing Towards Array and 3D Optoelectronic and Sensing Architectures (2020)

&lt;div&gt;Scalability and device-integration have been prevailing issues limiting our ability in harnessing the full potential of small-diameter conducting fibres. We report inflight fluidic fibre printing, a rapid, low-cost route that integrates the entire process of conducting fibre production and fibre-to-circuit connection, in a single step under sub-100 °C ambient atmospheres. Metallic (silver) or organic (PEDOT:PSS) fibres with 1-3 μm diameter are fabricated, and the fibre arrays exhibit over 95 % transmittance in the 350-750 nm region. We exploit combinations of the unique fibre characteristics: directionality, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, and permissiveness, along with transparency and conductivity. Using PEDOT:PSS fibres as a cell-interfaced impedimetric&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;sensor and a moisture sensor, we show that even a single fibre component can achieve complex functions or outperform conventional film-based devices. The capability to design suspended fibres and networks of homo-, hetero- cross-junctions, paves the way to applications including&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;flow-permissive devices, and 3D optoelectronic and sensor architectures.&lt;/div&gt;
Effect of In-Ga-Zn-O active layer channel composition on process temperature for flexible oxide thin-film transistors (2012)

In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO)-channel oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on flexible polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrates. A lamination and delamination procedure was established that allowed easy handling of the PEN substrate during fabrication. In order to fabricate high-performance flexible IGZO TFTs at lower than normal process temperatures, a 2:1:2 (In:Ga:Zn) IGZO channel composition was proposed. The field-effect mobility, threshold voltage, and subthreshold swing of the fabricated IGZO TFTs were found to be approximately 7.83 cm2 V−1 s−1, 1.93 V, and 0.24 V/decade, respectively, even when a final heat treatment was conducted at a temperature as low as 150 °C. The stability characteristics of the devices were also examined under gate bias stress and constant current stress conditions.
Cholera in Louisiana: Old Problem, New Light (1980)

As a resumé of the results of my inquiries, it may be set down as the unqualified opinion of all the physicians with whom I have consulted in the City of New Orleans, that the cholera of the spring of 1873 in that city and vicinity was native in its origin; that is, it was not brought here from abroad. (Communication of Assistant Surgeon, Van Buren Hubbard, U.S.A.., New Orleans, January 30, 1874.)Cholera, a diarrheal disease characterized by epidemic occurrence and ability to cause rapid dehydration and death in previously healthy persons, has long held the attention of epidemiologists, . . .
Pelvic floor muscle contraction during a cough and decreased vesical neck mobility (2001)

Immunological Monitoring of Fenton Fragmentation of Fibrinogen (1991)

Fibrinogen is transformed into insoluble "neofibe" by reaction with up to 100 microM Cu(II) and 1.5 mM ascorbate. The soluble peptides which are released during the reaction can be monitored by amino acid analysis and by measuring released keto-carbonyl (with DNPH). Immunologic characterization of the soluble peptides, with antibodies directed against fibrino-peptide A (FPA) clearly show the release of this epitope, optimally at 50 microM Cu(II). Anti-FPB gives no evidence of that epitope. However, N-terminal amino acid analyses reveals the presence of 3 peptides terminating in ALA (alpha chain FPA), GLU (beta chain FPB) and SER/ASP (unknown). The release of fibrinopeptides is interpreted within the context of a general mechanism for OH'-induced peptide chain cleavage via intermediate Schiff-base hydrolysis.
Astrolabe (2003)

Scalable management and self-organizational capabilities are emerging as central requirements for a generation of large-scale, highly dynamic, distributed applications. We have developed an entirely new distributed information management system called Astrolabe. Astrolabe collects large-scale system state, permitting rapid updates and providing on-the-fly attribute aggregation. This latter capability permits an application to locate a resource, and also offers a scalable way to track system state as it evolves over time. The combination of features makes it possible to solve a wide variety of management and self-configuration problems. This paper describes the design of the system with a focus upon its scalability. After describing the Astrolabe service, we present examples of the use of Astrolabe for locating resources, publish-subscribe, and distributed synchronization in large systems. Astrolabe is implemented using a peer-to-peer protocol, and uses a restricted form of mobile code based on the SQL query language for aggregation. This protocol gives rise to a novel consistency model. Astrolabe addresses several security considerations using a built-in PKI. The scalability of the system is evaluated using both simulation and experiments; these confirm that Astrolabe could scale to thousands and perhaps millions of nodes, with information propagation delays in the tens of seconds.
New Model of Pressure Reduction to Annulus During Primary Cementing (2000)

Abstract Annular pressure reduction during cementing is the major factor causing annular gas flow. It has been accepted and proven experimentally that the pressure reduction phenomenon results from the shear stress opposing downward motion of slurry undergoing to volume reduction. Mathematical models have been proposed to describe this process based on the gel strength (or shear stress) development in time. However, the models can only simulate pressure reduction process observed in the lab where compressibility of the system is very small. The models can not explain the variety of pressure reduction patterns observed in the field operations when time-dependent effects of compressibility significantly contributes to the process. The paper presents a mathematical model combining the effects of gel strength, volume reduction, and compressibility on pressure loss in the cement column. Results from the model, shown in the paper, compared very well with the data from the laboratory and in field tests. The simulated results explained discrepancies in the pressure loss patterns observed in these tests. Main contribution of this study is to quantify the interaction between friction and de-compression mechanisms and their extend in the cement column after placement.
Experimental validation of a MATLAB based control architecture for multiple robot outdoor navigation (2005)

Design, implementation and experimental validation of a MATLAB based autonomous robot control framework is presented, supported by, and integrated into a distributed field robot architecture known as distributed-SFX. The MATLAB based framework is composed of multi sensor fuzzy logic robot controllers that utilize laser, GPS and odometer data, fusing such sensor data and filtering out noise, to improve collision free navigation. Extensive outdoor environment experiments with single and multiple mobile robots are performed to demonstrate waypoint and goal point navigation, and raster scan search patterns in unknown environments with static and dynamic obstacles. Results and videos are provided to justify the proposed approach
Photocurrent enhancement of SiNW-FETs by integrating protein-shelled CdSe quantum dots (2015)

We proposed a new strategy to increase the photoresponsivity of silicon NW field-effect transistors (FETs) by integrating CdSe quantum dots (QDs) using protein shells (PSs). CdSe QDs were synthesized using ClpP, a bacterial protease, as protein shells to control the size and stability of QD and to facilitate the mounting of QDs on SiNWs. The photocurrent of SiNW-FETs in response to light at a wavelength of 480 nm was enhanced by a factor of 6.5 after integrating CdSe QDs because of the coupling of the optical properties of SiNWs and QDs. As a result, the photoresponsivity to 480 nm light reached up to 3.1 × 10(6), the highest value compared to other SiNW-based devices in the visible light range.
Simulating complex hair with robust collision handling (2005)

We present a new framework for simulating dynamic movements of complex hairstyles. The proposed framework, which treats hair as a collection of wisps, includes new approaches to simulating dynamic wisp movements and handling wisp-body collisions and wisp-wisp interactions. For the simulation of wisps, we introduce a new hair dynamics model, a hybrid of the rigid multi-body, serial chain and mass-spring models, to formulate the simulation system using an implicit integration method. Consequently, the simulator can impose collision/contact constraints systematically, allowing it to handle wisp-body collisions efficiently without the need for backtracking or sub-timestepping. In addition, the simulator handles wisp-wisp collisions based on impulses while taking into account viscous damping and cohesive forces. Experimental results show that the proposed technique can stably simulate hair with intricate geometries while robustly handling wisp-body collisions and wisp-wisp interactions.

Standardized but flexible I/O for self-virtualizing devices (2008)

Moving device virtualization from the virtual machine monitor (VMM) to the devices improves virtual-machine performance significantly, but it requires support from the devices. PCI and PCI Express (PCIe) devices can provide VMs with direct and secure I/O through the use of multiple functions per card, but at significant cost and inflexibility. One solution to help reduce the costs is the PCIe SR-IOV standard, which introduces lightweight, virtual PCIe functions. We are currently developing a highly configurable and programmable PCIe networking device which can change its behavior at runtime and which can provide a number of different types of device functions to the host system (e.g., standard NIC, specialized packet capturing devices, or crypto offload engines). We have found the PCIe SR-IOV standard to be too inflexible to support these types of devices, primarily due to its mechanism for configuring virtual functions. In this paper we propose an alternative approach which does not require additional silicon and provides significantly higher flexibility than SR-IOV. We achieve this by delegating enumeration and configuration of “software configurable virtual functions ” to the main device driver for the device. Our solution is compatible with the higher layers of the PCI device stack of modern operating systems and hypervisors so that we can leverage all the existing mechanisms for hot-plugging, discovering devices, loading device drivers, and assigning PCI devices to virtual machines (including providing DMA isolation with IO-MMUs). We present details of a prototype implementation for Linux and Xen. 1
Coarse integral imaging without pseudo image (2011)

Coarse integral imaging (CII), where each elemental lens is large enough to cover pixels far more than the number of views, can show clear floating 3D image when distortion is corrected. One of the major problems left to be solved for CII is suppression of pseudo images that appear around the right image to be presented. In this paper we propose two methods to suppress pseudo images. We first propose use of a lens array with a small F number. When a lens array composed of elemental lenses whose F number is small is set in front of the display panel, pseudo images can be erased by total internal reflection on the outskirt of the large aperture lens because the angle of incidence of the light ray that generates pseudo images becomes larger. The second method we propose is use of a lens array behind the display panel paired with segmented backlight. When convex lenses are set in front of the backlight with limited aperture, leak of ray out to adjacent elemental lenses can be avoided. Since the backlight area is reduced, this method can also reduce consumption of electric power without diminishing brightness of the right image.

Incidence of planet candidates in open clusters and a planet confirmation (2018)

Context. Detecting exoplanets in clusters of different ages is a powerful tool for understanding a number of open questions, such as how the occurrence rate of planets depends on stellar metallicity, on mass, or on stellar environment. Aims. We present the first results of our HARPS long-term radial velocity (RV) survey which aims to discover exoplanets around intermediate-mass (between ~2 and 6 M⊙) evolved stars in open clusters. Methods. We selected 826 bona fide HARPS observations of 114 giants from an initial list of 29 open clusters and computed the half-peak to peak variability of the HARPS RV measurements, namely ΔRV∕2, for each target, to search for the best planet-host candidates. We also performed time series analyses for a few targets for which we have enough observations to search for orbital solutions. Results. Although we attempted to rule out the presence of binaries on the basis of previous surveys, we detected 14 new binary candidates in our sample, most of them identified from a comparison between HARPS and CORAVEL data. We also suggest 11 new planet-host candidates based on a relation between the stellar surface gravity and ΔRV∕2. Ten of the candidates are less than 3 M⊙, showing evidence of a low planet occurrence rate for massive stars. One of the planet-host candidates and one of the binary candidates show very clear RV periodic variations, allowing us to confirm the discovery of a new planet and to compute the orbital solution for the binary. The planet is IC 4651 9122b, with a minimum mass of m sini = 6.3 MJ and a semimajor axis a = 2.0 AU. The binary companion is NGC 5822 201B, with a very low minimum mass of m sini = 0.11 M⊙ and a semimajor axis a = 6.5 AU, which is comparable to the Jupiter distance to the Sun.
Cloud Resource Provisioning to Extend the Capacity of Local Resources in the Presence of Failures (2012)

In this paper, we investigate Cloud computing resource provisioning to extend the computing capacity of local clusters in the presence of failures. We consider three steps in the resource provisioning including resource brokering, dispatch sequences, and scheduling. The proposed brokering strategy is based on the stochastic analysis of routing in distributed parallel queues and takes into account the response time of the Cloud provider and the local cluster while considering computing cost of both sides. Moreover, we propose dispatching with probabilistic and deterministic sequences to redirect requests to the resource providers. We also incorporate check pointing in some well-known scheduling algorithms to provide a fault-tolerant environment. We propose two cost-aware and failure-aware provisioning policies that can be utilized by an organization that operates a cluster managed by virtual machine technology and seeks to use resources from a public Cloud provider. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed policies improve the response time of users' requests by a factor of 4.10 under a moderate load with a limited cost on a public Cloud.
