Molecular Phylogeny of Cercophora, Podospora, and Schizothecium (Lasiosphaeriaceae, Pyrenomycetes) (2010)

Pyrenomycete species of Cercophora and Podospora are common on the dung of herbivores. Schizothecium was differentiated from Podospora based on morphological characters and further supported by molecular phylogenetic analyses. This study focused on phylogenetic relationships of Cercophora and Podospora including species of Schizothecium. Two gene sequences, ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS/5.8S rDNA) and a fragment of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD), were amplified and examined using maximum-parsimony and Bayesian analyses. In all analyses, Cercophora and Podospora were found to be polyphyletic, each consisting of a group of morphologically heterogeneous and phylogenetically distant species. Species of Schizothecium were all located in one clade and two Cercophora species with similar perithecial hair structures formed a sister group to it. The recognition of Shizotheium is reconfirmed. The phylogeny indicated a relevant relationship with the perithecial morphology in the Lasiosphariaceae.
The research on teaching reformation of photoelectric information science and engineering specialty experiments (2017)

This paper introduced the idea of teaching reformation of photoelectric information science and engineering specialty experiments. The teaching reformation of specialty experiments was analyzed from many aspects, such as construction of specialized laboratory, experimental methods, experiment content, experiment assessing mechanism, and so on. The teaching of specialty experiments was composed of four levels experiments: basic experiments, comprehensive and designing experiments, innovative research experiments and engineering experiments which are aiming at enterprise production. Scientific research achievements and advanced technology on photoelectric technology were brought into the teaching of specialty experiments, which will develop the students’ scientific research ability and make them to be the talent suitable for photoelectric industry.
Engineered Tissue–Stent Biocomposites as Tracheal Replacements (2016)

Here we report the creation of a novel tracheal construct in the form of an engineered, acellular tissue-stent biocomposite trachea (TSBT). Allogeneic or xenogeneic smooth muscle cells are cultured on polyglycolic acid polymer-metal stent scaffold leading to the formation of a tissue comprising cells, their deposited collagenous matrix, and the stent material. Thorough decellularization then produces a final acellular tubular construct. Engineered TSBTs were tested as end-to-end tracheal replacements in 11 rats and 3 nonhuman primates. Over a period of 8 weeks, no instances of airway perforation, infection, stent migration, or erosion were observed. Histological analyses reveal that the patent implants remodel adaptively with native host cells, including formation of connective tissue in the tracheal wall and formation of a confluent, columnar epithelium in the graft lumen, although some instances of airway stenosis were observed. Overall, TSBTs resisted collapse and compression that often limit the function of other decellularized tracheal replacements, and additionally do not require any cells from the intended recipient. Such engineered TSBTs represent a model for future efforts in tracheal regeneration.

The international diagnostic competitions provide a set of diagnostic benchmarks to evaluate diagnostic algorithms. This article describes a common diagnostic framework used to evaluate these algorithms. These competitions, started in 2009, have significantly helped shape subsequent diagnostic algorithms.
Oops! I've sprung a leak! : original article (2011)

Last year in this journal, I spoke about the importance of communication between doctors and patients with regard to the delicate matter of sexual function and dysfunction. In this article, I want to stay with the theme of unmentionable issues and talk about problems of urinary control. The excretory functions of urination and defecation, dealing with our body's waste products are considered by most people to be inappropriate matters for discussion, even with their doctor. Frequently patients will fail to mention even major symptoms relating to these functions.

Characterization of the Key Aroma Compounds in Two Commercial Rums by Means of the Sensomics Approach (2015)

Two rums differing in their overall aroma profile and price level (rum A, high price; rum B, low price) were analyzed by means of the Sensomics approach. Application of aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) on a distillate of volatiles prepared from rum A revealed 40 aroma-active compounds in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range from 8 to 2048. The identification experiments indicated cis-whiskey lactone, vanillin, decanoic acid, and 2- and 3-methylbutanol with the highest FD factors. The AEDA of a distillate prepared from rum B showed only 26 aroma-active compounds in the same FD factor range. Among them, in particular, ethyl butanoate, 1,1-diethoxyethane, ethyl (S)-2-methylbutanoate, and decanoic acid appeared with the highest FD factors. Thirty-seven compounds having at least an FD factor ≥32 in one of the two rums were quantitated using stable isotope dilution assays or enzyme kits (2 compounds). The calculation of odor activity values (OAVs; ratio of concentration to respective odor threshold) indicated ethanol, vanillin, ethyl (S)-2-methylbutanoate, and (E)-β-damascenone with the highest OAVs in rum A, whereas ethanol, 2,3-butanedione, 3-methylbutanal, and ethyl butanoate revealed the highest OAVs in rum B. Most compounds were present in similar concentrations in both rums, but significant differences were determined for vanillin, cis-whiskey lactone, and 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol (all higher in rum A) and 3-methylbutanal, 2,3-butanedione, and ethyl butanoate (all higher in rum B). Finally, the aromas of both rums were successfully simulated by a recombinate using reference odorants in the same concentrations as they naturally occurred in the spirits.
Electrosynthesis of Poly(selenophene-co-thiophene) Films in Boron Trifluoride Diethyl Etherate/Ethyl (2014)

Electrosynthesis of selenophene-thiophene copolymers was successfully realized at constant electrode potential in a binary solvent system consisting of boron trifluoride-ethyl ether and an additional amount of ethyl ether (mole ratio 1:2). The homo-and copolymer films obtained were studied and characterized with cyclic voltammetry and FTIR spectroscopy. The influence of the applied polymerization potential and the monomer feed ratio of selenophene and thiophene on the copolymer materials was investigated. The obtained films demonstrate a good stability of the redox activity in acetonitrile-based electrolyte solution.

「做」的比「說」的重要 : 評《批判與重構》兼悼霍爾 (2014)

（原載明報二零一四年二月十六日）\n剛過去的星期一，在學校觀看一部關於霍爾（Stuart Hall）的紀錄片，名為「霍爾計劃」（Stuart Hall Project）。事有湊巧，很不幸，當晚我們便收到這位學者逝世的消息。\n霍爾是文化研究的奠基者，亦是英國新左派的代表人物。相較不少理論大師，霍爾的專著不算多，更不會像如今不少大紅的年輕學者在學術期刊發表了海量文章。可是，他的言行實踐卻一直深深介入英國政治（尤其是左翼），以至學術及知識界。簡言之，文化研究是關於「做」多於「說」的，這亦一直是我與不少同事的誡律。\n可惜，要把做什麼告訴別人，卻不容易。\n早前讀了曹書樂的《批判與重構：英國媒體與傳播研究的馬克思主義傳統》，算是一個很不錯的初步嘗試。在大家悼念霍爾之時，讀讀這本書亦頗有意思。書裏亦有不少有關霍爾的部分，值得香港不少未讀便亂評文化研究一通的專欄作家好好學習。
UV-VIS spectra and photoinitiation behaviors of acylphosphine oxide and bisacylphosphine oxide derivatives in unfilled, light-cured dental resins (2008)

The aims of this study were to investigate the photoinitiation behaviors of acylphosphine oxide (APO) and bisacylphosphine oxide (BAPO) derivatives in comparison to D,L-camphorquinone (CQ)/tertiary amine (EDAB) system. Fifty six kinds of experimental unfilled, light-cured resins were prepared using APO, BAPO, CQ, EDAB, resin monomers, and adhesive monomers. The measurements of ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy, photopolymerization with differential scanning calorimeter (photo-DSC) and degree of conversion (DC) determination were performed. Results showed that the UV-VIS spectra of all APO and BAPO derivatives possessed lambda max ranging between 365 and 416 nm. Their photoinitiation behaviors were not influenced by acidic adhesive monomers formulated in unfilled Bis-GMA-based resins (p < 0.05). Although BAPO exhibited higher reactivity than CQ/EDAB in unfilled 6-methacryloyloxyhexcyl phosphonoacetate (6-MHPA)/ 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 6-MHPA/glycerol monomethacrylate (GM)-based resins, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences in DC (%) between BAPO [44.2(6.5)-51.2(4.3)] and CQ/EDAB [42.4(4.4)-47.5(3.7)] (p < 0.05). It was concluded that APO and BAPO photoinitiators exhibited reactivity comparable to that of CQ/tertiary amine system.

No se encontraron diferencias en la incidencia de NAC cuando se comparaban los diferentes antidiabeticos orales en monoterapia frente a metformina. Comparado con los usuarios actuales de metformina + sulfonilureas, la combinacion de metformina + Tiazolidinedionas (TZD) se asocio con un incremento en el riesgo de NAC. (OR ajustado =2,48 IC 95% 1,40-4,38). El uso de cualquier combinacion de TZD se asocio con un mayor riesgo de NAC (OR ajustado = 2,00 IC 95% ,22-3,28). El uso de inhibidores de dipeptidilpeptidasa 4 no se asocio con un mayor iocremento de NAC.
Conclusiones: No se observaron diferencias en la incidencia de NAC entre el uso de antidiabeticos orales en monoterapia frente a metformina. El uso de TZD en asociacion se asocio con un incremento de riesgo de NAC cuando se comparaba con el uso de metformina sulfonilureas.
Two-stage Atomic Layer Deposition of Smooth Aluminum Oxide on Hydrophobic Self-assembled Monolayers (2008)

We describe the growth of aluminum oxide (AlOx) on strong hydrophobic surfaces that consist of CH3-terminated self-assembled monolayers (CH3-SAMs) by utilizing atomic layer deposition (ALD) with H2O as the oxygen source. The evolution of AlOx on the CH3-SAMs was studied by comparing with that on hydrophilic OH-terminated silicon dioxide (OH-SiO2). The AlOx grown on the CH3-SAM surfaces underwent growth instability and developed significantly rough surface morphologies while the AlOx on the OH-SiO2 maintained atomically smooth surface morphologies. The structural integrity of the CH3-SAMs was also found to be disturbed substantially at the onset of the ALD process with H2O. In order to improve the surface morphology of AlOx on CH3-SAM surfaces, a two-stage ALD process was developed. In the two-stage ALD process for AlOx, the first stage utilized n-propanol as the oxygen source and the second stage proceeded with H2O. The optimized two-stage ALD process significantly improved the surface morphology of AlOx films and effectively protected the structural integrity of underlying CH3-SAMs.

Coordinated gene expression during gilthead sea bream skeletogenesis and its disruption by nutritional hypervitaminosis A (2011)

Present data reflects the specific gene expression patterns of several genes involved in larval fish RA signalling and skeletogenesis; and how specific gene disruption induced by a nutritional VA imbalance underlie the skeletal deformities. Our results are of basic interest for fish VA signalling and point out some of the potential molecular players involved in fish skeletogenesis. Increased incidences of skeletal deformities in gilthead sea bream fed with hypervitaminosis A were the likely ultimate consequence of specific gene expression disruption at critical development stages.
A wide-band divide-by-3 injection-locked frequency divider using tunable MOS resistor (2015)

A wide locking range/operation range parallel resonant divide-by-3 injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) using a standard 0.18 μm CMOS process is presented. The divide-by-3 ILFD circuit is realized with a parallel resonant cross-coupled n-core MOS LC-tank oscillator. A MOSFET is used as a resistor to degrade the resonator quality factor and enhance the locking range and it is also used to tune the oscillation frequency and widens the operation range. Two direct-injection MOSFETs in series are used as a frequency doubler and quadrupler, and a dynamic linear mixer to widen the locking range. The core power consumption of the ILFD core is 4.896 mW. At the incident power of 0 dBm, and the supply voltage of 0.8 V, the maximum locking range is 1.6 GHz, from 10.6 GHz to 12.2 GHz and the operation range percentage of 47.6%, from 5 GHz to 13 GHz.

Numerical and Theoretical Aspects of the DMRG-TCC Method Exemplified by the Nitrogen Dimer (2019)

In this article, we investigate the numerical and theoretical aspects of the coupled-cluster method tailored by matrix-product states. We investigate formal properties of the used method, such as energy size consistency and the equivalence of linked and unlinked formulation. The existing mathematical analysis is here elaborated in a quantum chemical framework. In particular, we highlight the use of what we have defined as a complete active space-external space gap describing the basis splitting between the complete active space and the external part generalizing the concept of a HOMO-LUMO gap. Furthermore, the behavior of the energy error for an optimal basis splitting, i.e., an active space choice minimizing the density matrix renormalization group-tailored coupled-cluster singles doubles error, is discussed. We show numerical investigations on the robustness with respect to the bond dimensions of the single orbital entropy and the mutual information, which are quantities that are used to choose a complete active space. Moreover, the dependence of the ground-state energy error on the complete active space has been analyzed numerically in order to find an optimal split between the complete active space and external space by minimizing the density matrix renormalization group-tailored coupled-cluster error.
Comparison of Tc-99m MAG3 and Tc-99m DTPA in Renal Transplant Patients with Impaired Renal Function (1990)

Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) is a new Tc-99m renal agent that compares favorably to I-131 Hippuran in animal models, normal volunteers, and patients. Based on the fact that Tc-99m MAG3 has a much more rapid clearance than Tc-99m DTPA and a smaller volume of distribution, it was postulated that the image quality of Tc-99m MAG3 studies should be superior to scans obtained using Tc-99m DTPA, particularly in patients with impaired renal function. To test this hypothesis, Tc-99m DTPA and MAG3 images were obtained in three transplant patients during periods of stable but impaired renal function. In one study, the Tc-99m DTPA study was potentially misleading, whereas the Tc-99m MAG3 examination assessed the clinical situation correctly. In all three cases, the Tc-99m MAG3 images were superior.
High Sensitivity and Low-Cost Flavin luciferase (FLUX)-based Reporter Gene for Mammalian Cell Expression (2021)

ABSTRACT Luciferase-based gene reporters generating bioluminescence signals are important tools for biomedical research. Amongst the luciferases, flavin-dependent enzymes use the most common, and thus most economical chemicals. However, their applications in mammalian cells are limited due to their low signals compared to other systems. Here, we constructed F lavin Lu ciferase for Mammalian C ell Expression (FLUX) by engineering luciferase from Vibrio campbellii (the most thermostable bacterial luciferase reported to date) and optimizing its expression and reporter assays in mammalian cells. We found that the FLUX reporter gene can be overexpressed in various cell lines and showed outstanding signal-to-background in HepG2 cells, significantly higher than that of firefly luciferase (Fluc). The combined use of FLUX/Fluc as target/control vectors gave the most stable signals, better than the standard set of Fluc(target)/Rluc(control). We demonstrated that FLUX can be used for testing inhibitors of the NF-κB signaling pathway, validating FLUX applications for various assays in the future.
Abstract 18936: Can Biomarkers Improve Risk Stratification of Atrial Fibrillation Patients? Analysis of 3578 Aspirin-treated Patients in ACTIVE and AVERROES (2014)

Oral anticoagulants (OAC) reduce thromboembolism (TE) in atrial fibrillation (AF) but increase the risk of bleeding. Current approaches to risk stratification emphasize high sensitivity for stroke (>90%) but results in poor specificity (<20%), potentially exposing some patients unnecessarily to an increased risk of bleeding. NT-proBNP, D-dimer, and troponin predict stroke in anticoagulated AF patients, but it is unknown whether they can improve the specificity of selecting patients for OAC therapy. We analyzed rates of non-hemorrhagic stroke or systemic embolism according to baseline NT-proBNP, D-dimer, and troponin in 3578 aspirin-treated patients with CHA2DS2-VASc ≥1. Using the 1st quartile as a cut-off, we calculated hazard ratios (HR) of high vs low biomarker levels, adjusting for CHA2DS2-VASc factors. We used a Cox model to assess TE risk prediction with CHA2DS2-VASc compared with CHA2DS2-VASc plus biomarkers. Based on efficacy and safety data from AVERROES, we estimated the net clinical impact (addi...
A self-tuning controller for switched reluctance machines (2002)

A self-tuning controller for switched reluctance machines is presented. A torque ripple minimizing controller is implemented with the on-line system identification and adaptation technique. The controller uses a nonlinear model of the machine which is updated on-line using a recursive identification algorithm. The real-time approach improves the overall robustness of the system. Experimental results are presented to validate the self-tuning algorithm.
