High Temperature-Induced Abscisic Acid Biosynthesis and Its Role in the Inhibition of Gibberellin Action in Arabidopsis Seeds (2007)

Suppression of seed germination at supraoptimal high temperature (thermoinhibiton) during summer is crucial for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to establish vegetative and reproductive growth in appropriate seasons. Abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs) are well known to be involved in germination control, but it remains unknown how these hormone actions (metabolism and responsiveness) are altered at high temperature. Here, we show that ABA levels in imbibed seeds are elevated at high temperature and that this increase is correlated with up-regulation of the zeaxanthin epoxidase gene ABA1/ZEP and three 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase genes, NCED2, NCED5, and NCED9. Reverse-genetic studies show that NCED9 plays a major and NCED5 and NCED2 play relatively minor roles in high temperature-induced ABA synthesis and germination inhibition. We also show that bioactive GAs stay at low levels at high temperature, presumably through suppression of GA 20-oxidase genes, GA20ox1, GA20ox2, and GA20ox3, and GA 3-oxidase genes, GA3ox1 and GA3ox2. Thermoinhibition-tolerant germination of loss-of-function mutants of GA negative regulators, SPINDLY (SPY) and RGL2, suggests that repression of GA signaling is required for thermoinibition. Interestingly, ABA-deficient aba2-2 mutant seeds show significant expression of GA synthesis genes and repression of SPY expression even at high temperature. In addition, the thermoinhibition-resistant germination phenotype of aba2-1 seeds is suppressed by a GA biosynthesis inhibitor, paclobutrazol. We conclude that high temperature stimulates ABA synthesis and represses GA synthesis and signaling through the action of ABA in Arabidopsis seeds.
Oral Amino Acid Administration Decreases Oxidative Stress and Improves Brachial Reactivity in Elderly Individuals (2005)

Administration of EAA may improve brachial reactivity in elderly persons and may also protect against the development of atherosclerosis via the rise in plasma-free IGF-1 levels.
Modeling cooperative navigation in dense human crowds (2017)

For robots to be a part of our daily life, they need to be able to navigate among crowds not only safely but also in a socially compliant fashion. This is a challenging problem because humans tend to navigate by implicitly cooperating with one another to avoid collisions, while heading toward their respective destinations. Previous approaches have used handcrafted functions based on proximity to model human-human and human-robot interactions. However, these approaches can only model simple interactions and fail to generalize for complex crowded settings. In this paper, we develop an approach that models the joint distribution over future trajectories of all interacting agents in the crowd, through a local interaction model that we train using real human trajectory data. The interaction model infers the velocity of each agent based on the spatial orientation of other agents in his vicinity. During prediction, our approach infers the goal of the agent from its past trajectory and uses the learned model to predict its future trajectory. We demonstrate the performance of our method against a state-of-the-art approach on a public dataset and show that our model outperforms when predicting future trajectories for longer horizons.
Discussion (1990)

Maturity structure does matter and it should be of particular concern for the management of public debt. The Italian ‘authorities should, up to a point, “bite the bullet”. They should issue long-term debt even at relatively high interest rates, since accepting a shortening of the average maturity may be counterproductive: by increasing the possibility of a confidence crisis, it may lead to a larger risk premium and a higher average cost of servicing the total outstanding debt’ (Alesina et al., in this volume).
[Paper] Automotive OLED Display with High Mobility Top Gate IGZO TFT Backplane (2020)

High performance IGZO TFTs with top gate structure were developed for an automotive OLED display backplane. Fabrication processes are optimized by balancing oxygen and hydrogen contents with μ-PCD method. The mobility of the IGZO TFTs reaches as high as 32 cm2/Vs with enhanced threshold voltages. We have checked the TFTs reliability under the positive bias temperature (PBT), negative bias temperature (NBT) and negative bias temperature illumination (NBTI) stress tests. As the IGZO TFTs shows slight changes of threshold voltage (Vth) within ±0.5V under PBT and NBT and even after NBTI stress tests, there is no critical deterioration. We expect these high mobility IGZO TFTs are stable enough to be used for OLED or other self-luminous displays. We have also demonstrated a prototype 12.3" OLED module for automotive applications. The prototype flexible display showed an excellent brightness uniformity even after bending.

Micro Thermoelectric Generators Having High Thermal-Resistance for Wireless Sensor Nodes Made by Aerosol Mold-Filling (2014)

A high output voltage micro thermoelectric generator (µTEG) has been developed by fabricating thermocouples having a high aspect ratio with a high integration density. They have been made by a novel and simple fabrication method, in which thermoelectric nanopowders are filled in a photosensitive glass mold by using aerosol deposition (ASD). This method has a possibility to increase the aspect ratio of thermocouples drastically while increasing their toughness and increasing their thermal resistance. We have fabricated thermocouples with an aspect ratio of 3.3 and a high integration density of 620 TCs/cm2. Their Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity are 290 µV/K and 1.5 mΩcm, respectively. The µTEG reaches a thermal resistance of 3.6 K/W·cm2, output voltage efficiency of 0.18 V/K/cm2, and output power efficiency of 18 µW/K2/cm2. These HAR thermocouples have an advantage for energy harvesting from a human body because they can result in a high temperature difference because of their high thermal resistance.
Field and Laboratory Evaluations of Transgenic Cottons Expressing One or Two Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki Berliner Proteins for Management of Noctuid (Lepidoptera) Pests (2003)

Field studies were conducted from 1999 to 2001 to evaluate the efficacy of the transgenic cotton, Gossypium hirsutum (L.), genotype, Bollgard II (Monsanto 15985), which expresses two Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) proteins (Cry1Ac + Cry2Ab) that are active against lepidopterous pests. Bollgard II was compared with Bollgard (DP50B), which expresses only one Bt protein (Cry1Ac), and, in all tests, the conventional variety, DP50, was used as a non-Bt control. Larval populations of the bollworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and the soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), were significantly lower in Bollgard II than in Bollgard and conventional cotton, and the proportion of fruit damaged by H. zea was also lower. Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), populations were lower in Bollgard II than in Bollgard, although not significantly. Field tests were supplemented with laboratory bioassays in 2001 to compare mortality of S. frugiperda, and beet armyworms, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), feeding on these genotypes. Mortality of both species was significantly greater on Bollgard II plant material than on either Bollgard or conventional cotton. This study demonstrated that the dual-toxin Bollgard II genotype is highly effective against lepidopterous pests that are not adequately controlled by the current single-toxin Bollgard varieties. If toxin expression in future Bollgard II varieties remains consistent with that of Monsanto 15985, supplemental insecticides will be reduced, and may be eliminated for lepidopterous pests in South Carolina.
X-MODDES (eXtended Multi Operator Delimiter Based Data Encryption Standard) (2010)

An Algorithm is considered computationally secure if it can not be broken with standard resources, either current or future. In this paper we have introduced a new block cipher algorithm named X-MODDES. It is unique independent approach which uses several computational steps along with string of operators and randomized delimiter selections by using some suitable mathematical logic. X-MODDES is specially designed to produce different cipher texts by applying same key on same plain text. Thus a new protocol has been designed to encrypt a given text, which allows a higher level security as compare to MODDES. The Algorithm is successfully implemented on text file, corresponding digital image file and audio file. Here we have also tried to highlight the performance of some well known data algorithms like DES, Triple-DES, AES (Rijndael), MODDES, and compare them with the X-MODDES. Finally it has been proved that X-MODDES is one of the best performing partial symmetric key algorithm among the above mention algorithms particularly for the text message with limited size.
Design of a Novel Force Feedback Dataglove Based on Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (2006)

Based on pneumatic artificial muscles, the force feedback dataglove is an important interface designed for dexterous manipulations with virtual environments, which provides force display for every segment of the thumb, index and middle finger. The typical mechanism of exoskeleton structure is adopted to allow full range-of-motion of the hand, with the actuator system placed on the forearm. The exoskeleton structure also serves as the hand position measurement function, by integrating non-contact Anisotropic Magneto-resistive sensors. The actuator consists of the pneumatic muscle and brake system. The contracting force of muscle transmitted through the tendon sheath structure is measured by the cantilevered beam sensor installed inside the pedestal. The single PC-based control interface comprises of an industrial computer, pneumatic valves and electronic ISA-bus cards for reading the sensors and implementing pressure control. The grasping force calculated according to the object deformation as well as its modeled compliance is displayed to the finger by regulating the pressure in the muscles based on the isometric characteristics
Effects on Neurons and Hippocampal Slices by Single and Multiple Primary Blast Pressure Waves From Detonating Spherical Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (RDX) Explosive Charges (2018)

Threshold shock-impulse levels required to induce cellular injury and cumulative effects upon single and/or multiple exposures are not well characterized. Currently, there are few in vitro experimental models with blast pressure waves generated by using real explosives in the laboratory for investigating the effects of primary blast-induced traumatic brain injury. An in vitro indoor experimental platform is developed using real military explosive charges to accurately represent battlefield blast exposure and to probe the effects of primary explosive blast on dissociated neurons and tissue slices. Preliminary results indicate that physical insults altered membrane permeability, impacted cellular viability, created axonal beadings, and led to synaptic protein loss in hippocampal slice cultures. Injuries from blast under the conditions that were examined did not appear to cause immediate or sustained damage to the cells. Three consecutive primary blasts failed to disrupt the overall cellular integrity in the hippocampal slice cultures and produced a unique type of pathology comprised with distinct reduction in synaptic proteins before cellular deterioration set in. These observed changes might add to the challenges in regard to enhancing our understanding of the complex biochemical and molecular mechanisms caused by primary blast-induced injury.
Fuzzy Based Directional Weighted Median Filter for Impulse Noise Detection and Reduction (2012)

The known median-based denoising methods tends to work well for restoring the images corrupted by random-valued impulse noise with low noise level, but it fails in denoising highly corrupted images. In this paper, a new noise reduction method based on directional weighted median based fuzzy impulse noise detection and reduction method (DWMFIDRM) has been proposed, which has been specially developed for denoising all categories of impulse noise. The contribution of this paper is threefold. The main contribution of the novel impulse noise reduction technique lies in the unification of three different methods; the impulse noise detection phase utilizing the concept of fuzzy gradient values, edge-preserving noise reduction phase based on the directional weighted median of the neighboring pixels and a final filtering step in order to deal with noisy pixels of non-zero degree. Such a unique combination has improved the efficiency of this method for high density noise removal. The experimental results of our proposed method have a significant improvement when compared to other existing filters for high density noise removal. This paper utilizes the concept of fuzzy gradient values. The noise reduction phase that preserves edge sharpness is based on the directional weighted median of neighboring pixels. Final filtering phase is performed only when there is non-zero degree of noise pixels. This phase makes our method more efficient in high noise density. Experimental results show that DWMFIDRM provides a significant improvement on other existing filters.
Magnetization and critical current density of ultra-fine multifilamentary superconducting wires (1991)

Multifilamentary superconducting wires with a greatly reduced level of losses have been produced with lengths of several tens of kilometers. In spite of the reduction of the filament diameter, proximity effects are avoided, and the best possible use of the reversible motion of the flux lines is made, so that the hysteretic losses are reduced. The concepts lead to a realization of conductors comprising filaments of Nb-Ti (0.1-0.2- mu m diameter) embedded in a highly resistive CuNi matrix. In order to characterize the possible application to industrial power systems, it is necessary to investigate the losses in submicrometric filaments. It is possible to determine the correct value of the critical current density with critical current measurements and magnetization curves on such wires.
TLC in Structure and Recognition Studies of Glycosphingolipids (2003)

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are primarily located in the plasma membrane of animal cells, but are also found in association with intracellular organelles (1,2) GSLs consist of two structural elements: a lipophilic membrane anchor, the ceramide portion, which is formed by a long chain aminoalcohol and a fatty acid, and a hydrophilic carbohydrate moiety, which protrudes from the cell surface. Structures and functions of GSLs have been widely reviewed (3–8). They are divided into three main classes: neutral GSLs and acidic sialic acid-and sulfate-containing GSLs, the gangliosides and the sulfatides, respectively. Most GSLs can be grouped into one of four main structural families: the ganglio-, globo-, lacto-, and/or neolacto-series. Structures of neutral GSLs and gangliosides used in this protocol are listed in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Their nomenclature follows the IUPAC-IUB recommendations (9) and the nomenclature of Svennerholm (10). Sialic acids are designated according to the suggestions of Reuter and Schauer (11).
The $1$-Laplacian Cheeger Cut: Theory and Algorithms (2016)

This paper presents a detailed review of both theory and algorithms for the Cheeger cut based on the graph $1$-Laplacian. In virtue of the cell structure of the feasible set, we propose a cell descend (CD) framework for achieving the Cheeger cut. While plugging the relaxation to guarantee the decrease of the objective value in the feasible set, from which both the inverse power (IP) method and the steepest descent (SD) method can also be recovered, we are able to get two specified CD methods. Comparisons of all these methods are conducted on several typical graphs.
Preparation of textured diamond films on Si substrates by hot-filament chemical-vapor deposition (1993)

Diamond was deposited on Si(111) substrates by a two-step hot-filament chemical-vapor deposition method consisting of the pretreatment and growth processes. In the pretreatment process, the substrate was heated at 1473 K briefly in a C3H8-CH4-H2 mixture gas. Textured 〈111〉-oriented diamond films were obtained with nucleation density of 109 cm−2. SiC grains were formed along with the nucleation sites for diamond in the present pretreatment process. Diamond was not deposited on the SiC layer, which was intentionally formed on a Si substrate, using the present growth process. SiC formation is not a sufficient condition for diamond nucleation.
Compressive Properties Of A Synthetic Bone Substitute For Vertebral Cancellous Bone (2012)

Transpedicular screw fixation in spinal fractures, degenerative changes, or deformities is a well-established procedure. However, important rate of fixation failure due to screw bending, loosening, or pullout are still reported particularly in weak bone stock in osteoporosis. To overcome the problem, mechanism of failure has to be fully investigated in vitro. Post-mortem human subjects are less accessible and animal cadavers comprise limitations due to different geometry and mechanical properties. Therefore, the development of a synthetic model mimicking the realistic human vertebra is highly demanded. A bone surrogate, composed of Polyurethane (PU) foam analogous to cancellous bone porous structure, was tested for 3 different densities in this study. The mechanical properties were investigated under uniaxial compression test by minimizing the end artifacts on specimens. The results indicated that PU foam of 0.32 g.cm-3 density has comparable mechanical properties to human cancellous bone in terms of young-s modulus and yield strength. Therefore, the obtained information can be considered as primary step for developing a realistic cancellous bone of human vertebral body. Further evaluations are also recommended for other density groups.
Correction: Successive normalization of rectangular arrays (2013)

We report an error in Theorem 4.1 of the paper identified in the title. That theorem is not true in general. However, the main mathematical message in the paper as well as all subsidiary mathematical remarks and all simulations and numerical results are correct. As the title suggests, the paper concerns successive normalization of rectangular arrays. We learned the algorithm from Bradley Efron. Here we sketch the algorithm, state the mistake in our paper, sketch our approach to proving its main theorem, and give reference to a paper by the authors where many more details can be found.

Xeno-free induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells for in vivo applications (2022)

Abstract Cell-based therapies are a promising treatment paradigm for neurodegenerative diseases and other brain injuries. Despite recent advances in stem cell technology, major concerns have been raised regarding the feasibility and safety of cell therapies for clinical applications. Here, we generate good manufacturing practice (GMP)-compatible neural progenitor cells (NPCs) from transgene- and xeno-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that can be smoothly adapted for clinical applications. The produced NPCs have a stable gene-expression over at least 15 passages and can be scaled for up to 10 18 cells per initially seeded 10 6 cells. To ensure a pure NPC population for in vivo applications, we reduce risks of iPSC contamination using micro RNA-switch technology as a safety checkpoint. Using lentiviral transduction with a fluorescent and bioluminescent dual-reporter construct, combined with non-invasive in vivo bioluminescent imaging, we longitudinally tracked the grafted cells in healthy wild-type and genetically immunosuppressed mice as well as in a mouse model of ischemic stroke. Long term in-depth characterization revealed that transplanted cells have the capability to survive and spontaneously differentiate into functional and mature neurons throughout a time course of a month.
A dataset and exploration of models for understanding video data through fill-in-the-blank question-answering (2016)

While deep convolutional neural networks frequently approach or exceed human-level performance at benchmark tasks involving static images, extending this success to moving images is not straightforward. Having models which can learn to understand video is of interest for many applications, including content recommendation, prediction, summarization, event/object detection and understanding human visual perception, but many domains lack sufficient data to explore and perfect video models. In order to address the need for a simple, quantitative benchmark for developing and understanding video, we present MovieFIB, a fill-in-the-blank question-answering dataset with over 300,000 examples, based on descriptive video annotations for the visually impaired. In addition to presenting statistics and a description of the dataset, we perform a detailed analysis of 5 different models' predictions, and compare these with human performance. We investigate the relative importance of language, static (2D) visual features, and moving (3D) visual features; the effects of increasing dataset size, the number of frames sampled; and of vocabulary size. We illustrate that: this task is not solvable by a language model alone; our model combining 2D and 3D visual information indeed provides the best result; all models perform significantly worse than human-level. We provide human evaluations for responses given by different models and find that accuracy on the MovieFIB evaluation corresponds well with human judgement. We suggest avenues for improving video models, and hope that the proposed dataset can be useful for measuring and encouraging progress in this very interesting field.
