Anthocyanin Profile and Antioxidant Activity of Various Berries Cultivated in Korea (2015)

This study examined the anthocyanin composition and antioxidant activity of various berries cultivated in Korea: blueberry, crowberry, Korean black raspberry, mulberry, and strawberry. The anthocyanins in berries were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, and each component was quantitatively analyzed. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of berries was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging, 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation decolorization, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and ferric ion reducing antioxidant (FRAP) assays. The results revealed that the total content of anthocyanins in crowberry was 35.1 mg/g of extract, which was higher than that in the other four major berry species (1.9-27.7 mg/g of extract). Nineteen anthocyanins were identified in the various berries. The major anthocyanins of crowberry were cyanidin-3-galactoside and delphinidin-3-galactoside, and those from Korean black raspberry were cyanidin-3-rutinoside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside-5-rhamnoside. These two berries also had relatively strong antioxidant activity accompanied by high total polyphenol contents. Thus, consumption of crowberry and Korean black raspberry may be beneficial in reducing the risk of developing lifestyle-related chronic diseases because of their strong antioxidant activity.
50 Million Years of Genomic Stasis in Endosymbiotic Bacteria (2002)

Comparison of two fully sequenced genomes of Buchnera aphidicola, the obligate endosymbionts of aphids, reveals the most extreme genome stability to date: no chromosome rearrangements or gene acquisitions have occurred in the past 50 to 70 million years, despite substantial sequence evolution and the inactivation and loss of individual genes. In contrast, the genomes of their closest free-living relatives, Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., are more than 2000-fold more labile in content and gene order. The genomic stasis of B. aphidicola, likely attributable to the loss of phages, repeated sequences, and recA, indicates that B. aphidicola is no longer a source of ecological innovation for its hosts.
Successful collection of peripheral blood stem cells upon VIDE chemomobilization in sarcoma patients (2017)

Clinical features of X linked juvenile retinoschisis associated with new mutations in the XLRS1 gene in Italian families (2003)

The severe RS phenotypes associated with Trp112Cys and to Trp122Cys mutations suggest that these mutations determine a notable alteration in the function of the retinoschisin protein.
Removal of Heavy Metals from Aqueous Solution Using Novel Nanoengineered Sorbents: Self‐Assembled Carbamoylphosphonic Acids on Mesoporous Silica (2003)

Abstract Self‐assembled monolayers of carbamoylphosphonic acids (acetamide phosphonic acid and propionamide phosphonic acid) on mesoporous silica supports were studied as potential absorbents for heavy and transition metal ions in aqueous wastes. The adsorption capacity, selectivity, and kinetics of the materials in sequestering metal ions, including Cd2 +, Co2 +, Cu2 +, Cr3 +, Pb2 +, Ni2 +, Zn2 +, and Mn2 +, were measured in batch experiments with excess sodium ion. The solution pH ranged from 2.2 to 5.5. The kinetics study shows that the adsorption reached equilibrium in seconds, indicating that there is little resistance to mass transfer, intraparticle diffusion, and surface chemical reaction. The competitive adsorption study found the phosphonic acid‐SAMMS to have an affinity for divalent metal ions in decreasing order of Pb2 + > Cu2 + > Mn2 + > Cd2 + > Zn2 + > Co2 + > Ni2 +. The measured Cd2 +adsorption isotherm was of the Langmuirian type and had a saturation binding capacity of 0.32 mmol/g.

De novo analysis of receptor binding affinity data of 8-ethenyl-xanthine antagonists to adenosine A1 and A2a receptors. (1997)

The receptor binding affinity data to adenosine A1 and A2a receptors of a wide series of 8-ethenyl-xanthine derivatives has been analyzed by means of the Free-Wilson model. The analysis of the individual group contributions (aij) shows the importance of the presence of an ethenyl moiety at position 8 on the xanthine ring for obtaining selective A2a antagonists. The different aij values of the substituents for the adenosine. A1 receptor do not correlate with the corresponding ones for the A2a receptor, indicating the possibility to obtain A1 and A2a selective compounds. The presence of aromatic substituents at the 8-ethenyl group, such as 3,5-(OCH3)2-phenyl, permits to obtain strongly A2a selective compounds (affinity ratio of up to 100); moreover, it appears that 8-ethenyl-xanthinic derivatives cannot have high selectivity for the adenosine A1 receptor (affinity ratio < or = 10).

End of life issues in pediatric patients. (2011)

Dealing with end-of-life issues in pediatric patients is difficult due to their young age, the complexities of situations leading to illness, and the multiple decision makers that exist in addition to parents and guardians. Pediatric patients do not have living wills addressing specific instructions for how long to continue life support systems such as a ventilator or a G-tube (gastrostomy tube for feeding). The dying pediatric patient also has typically not consented to organ donation either. The burden of decision making lies with the parents, guardians, and health-care providers of the dying child. This paper deals with these complexities and reflects the author's own experiences over nearly four decades of dealing with pediatric patients in her practice.

Monolithic high-power dual-wavelength GaAlAs laser array (1983)

Monolithic integration of high-power GaAlAs lasers is demonstrated. The new dual-wavelength laser array is implemented by integrating a twin-ridge substrate laser and a terraced substrate laser by the one-step liquid phase epitaxy technique. Both lasers integrated on a GaAs chip continuously operated at the power output as high as (30+30) mW in single longitudinal modes with a wavelength separation of 31 nm.
Localizing 3-D Anatomical Landmarks Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (2017)

Anatomical landmarks on 3-D human body scans play key roles in shape-essential applications, including consistent parameterization, body measurement extraction, segmentation, and mesh re-targeting. Manually locating landmarks is tedious and time-consuming for large-scale 3-D anthropometric surveys. To automate the landmarking process, we propose a data-driven approach, which learns from landmark locations known on a dataset of 3-D scans and predicts their locations on new scans. More specifically, we adopt a coarse-to-fine approach by training a deep regression neural network to compute the locations of all landmarks and then for each landmark training an individual deep classification neural network to improve its accuracy. In regards to input images being fed into the neural networks, we compute from a frontal view three types of image renderings for comparison, i.e., gray-scale appearance images, range depth images, and curvature mapped images. Among these, curvature mapped images result in the best empirical accuracy from the deep regression network, whereas depth images lead to higher accuracy for locating most landmarks using the deep classification networks. In conclusion, the proposed approach performs better than state of the art on locating most landmarks. The simple yet effective approach can be extended to automatically locate landmarks in large scale 3-D scan datasets.
Towards an Improvement of the SABIAN Humanoid Robot: from Design to Optimization (2012)

In this paper the humanoid robot SABIAN (SantâAnna BIpedal humANoid) is presented and analyzed in details. In particular, the differences between the SABIAN platform and the WABIAN-2 (WAseda BIpedal humANoid), its original Japanese version, are underlined. Some innovative solutions, as the exact calculation of the error mass and the adoption of a new shaft with incorporated joint used to transfer motion, allowed to improve the performances of the robot. Other works, such as the development of a harvesting system for recovering energy, are planned for the next future in order to optimize the platform.
Atmospheric Response to Fukushima Daiichi NPP (Japan) Accident Reviled by Satellite and Ground observations (2011)

Immediately after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan we started to continuously survey the Outgoing Long-wavelength Radiation (OLR, 10-13 microns) from NOAA/AVHRR. Our preliminary results show the presence of hot spots on the top of the atmosphere over the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) and due to their persistence over the same region they are most likely not of meteorological origin. On March 14 and 21 we detected a significant increase in radiation (14 W/m2) at the top of the atmosphere which also coincides with a reported radioactivity gas leaks from the FDNPP. After March 21 the intensity of OLR started to decline, which has been confirmed by ground radiometer network. We hypothesize that this increase in OLR was a result of the radioactive leaks released in atmosphere from the FDNPP. This energy triggers ionization of the air near the ground and lead to release of latent heat energy due to change of air humidity and temperature. Our early results demonstrate the potential of the latest development in atmospheric sciences and space-borne observations for monitoring nuclear accidents.

Three-dimensional building reconstruction using highly overlapped aerial images (2009)

The development of digital aerial camera provides the possibility of acquiring highly overlapped aerial images with high spatial resolution. In addition to its high spatial resolution that improves the capability of image interpretation, the highly overlapped images provide favorable geometrical configuration with high redundancy. The high similarity of stereo images is, thus, beneficial to the reliable image matching. Hence, the 3-D point clouds from the image matching have the great potential in 3-D modeling. The topographic maps provide the distinct boundaries for building modeling. The strategies of building reconstruction with existing topographic maps may improve the quality, cost, and efficiency for building modeling. The objective of this investigation is to integrate highly overlapped aerial images and building boundaries from topographic map. The proposed semi-automatic method includes 3-D lines extraction and polyhedral model generation. In the beginning, the operator locates the initial lines by a graphical user interface. The initial lines are refined by stereo images. The precise 3-D lines are processed into a 3-D modeling by an inference engine. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method may reconstruct the 3-D building model effectively.
Responsabilidade civil do empreiteiro de obras públicas (2002)

A responsabilidade a que os empreiteiros de obras publicas ficam sujeitos por problemas em suas obras e, infelizmente, quase sempre ignorada pelos gestores de recursos publicos. Muitas vezes, obras recentemente inauguradas e projetadas para funcionar por decadas se deterioram em poucos anos e ate em meses, sem que haja qualquer chamamento a responsabilidade do construtor pelas obras que erigiu. Outras vezes, as obras, apesar de prontas e pagas, nunca vem a funcionar a contento  tornando-se dispendiosos monumentos a ma gestao dos recursos publicos. O presente artigo alerta para a necessidade da responsabilizacao dos construtores pelas suas obras, salientando os criterios para a aplicacao dos diplomas legais pertinentes.
Clocked atom delivery to a photonic crystal waveguide (2018)

Experiments and numerical simulations are described that develop quantitative understanding of atomic motion near the surfaces of nanoscopic photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs). Ultracold atoms are delivered from a moving optical lattice into the PCW. Synchronous with the moving lattice, transmission spectra for a guided-mode probe field are recorded as functions of lattice transport time and frequency detuning of the probe beam. By way of measurements such as these, we have been able to validate quantitatively our numerical simulations, which are based upon detailed understanding of atomic trajectories that pass around and through nanoscopic regions of the PCW under the influence of optical and surface forces. The resolution for mapping atomic motion is roughly 50 nm in space and 100 ns in time. By introducing auxiliary guided-mode (GM) fields that provide spatially varying AC Stark shifts, we have, to some degree, begun to control atomic trajectories, such as to enhance the flux into the central vacuum gap of the PCW at predetermined times and with known AC Stark shifts. Applications of these capabilities include enabling high fractional filling of optical trap sites within PCWs, calibration of optical fields within PCWs, and utilization of the time-dependent, optically dense atomic medium for novel nonlinear optical experiments.

The Revolution in Database Architecture (2004)

Database system architectures are undergoing revolutionary changes. Most importantly, algorithms and data are being unified by integrating programming languages with the database system. This gives an extensible object-relational system where nonprocedural relational operators manipulate object sets. Coupled with this, each DBMS is now a web service. This has huge implications for how we structure applications. DBMSs are now object containers. Queues are the first objects to be added. These queues are the basis for transaction processing and workflow applications. Future workflow systems are likely to be built on this core. Data cubes and online analytic processing are now baked into most DBMSs. Beyond that, DBMSs have a framework for data mining and machine learning algorithms. Decision trees, Bayes nets, clustering, and time series analysis are built in; new algorithms can be added. There is a rebirth of column stores for sparse tables and to optimize bandwidth. Text, temporal, and spatial data access methods, along with their probabilistic reasoning have been added to database systems. Allowing approximate and probabilistic answers is essential for many applications. Many believe that XML and xQuery will be the main data structure and access pattern. Database systems must accommodate that perspective. External data increasingly arrives as streams to be compared to historical data; so stream-processing operators are being added to the DBMS. Publish-subscribe systems invert the data-query ratios; incoming data is compared against millions of queries rather than queries searching millions of records. Meanwhile, disk and memory capacities are growing much faster than their bandwidth and latency, so the database systems increasingly use huge main memories and sequential disk access. These changes mandate a much more dynamic query optimization strategy – one that adapts to current conditions and selectivities rather than having a static plan. Intelligence is moving to the periphery of the network. Each disk and each sensor will be a competent database machine. Relational algebra is a convenient way to program these systems. Database systems are now expected to be self-managing, selfhealing, and always-up. We researchers and developers have our work cut out for us in delivering all these features.
Electron Quantum Tunneling Sensors (2022)

Quantum tunneling sensors are typically ultra-sensitive devices which have been specifically designed to convert a stimulus into an electronic signal using the wondrous principles of quantum mechanical tunneling. In the early 1990s, William Kaiser developed one of the first micromachined quantum tunneling sensors as part of his work with the Nasa Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Since then, there have been scattered attempts at utilizing this phenomenon for the development of a variety of physical and chemical sensors. Although these devices demonstrate unique characteristics such as high sensitivity, the principle of quantum tunneling often acts as a double-edged sword and is responsible for certain drawbacks of this sensor family. In this review, we briefly explain the underlying working principles of quantum tunneling and how they are used to design miniaturized quantum tunneling sensors. We then proceed to describe an overview of the various attempts at developing such sensors. Next, we discuss their current need and recent resurgence. Finally, we describe various advantages and shortcomings of these sensors and end this review with an insight into the potential of this technology and prospects.
