AN AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM FOR EARTHQUAKE DISASTER RESPONSE (2011)

The paper describes the augmented reality system (ARS) developed as part of a disaster management tool of the Collaborative Research Centre 461 (CRC461) at the Universität Karlsruhe (TH). An ARS superposes an image of reality with a virtual image that extends the visible scenery of reality. Its use in the context of disaster management is to represent different invisible disaster-relevant information (humans hidden by debris, simulations of damages and measures) and overlay it with the image of reality. The design of such a system is a challenge in many ways, since the system integrates different methods like mapping, photogrammetry, inertial navigation and differential GPS. The paper introduces into the problems of earthquake disaster response and motivates the use of an ARS. It describes the used hardware components and discusses the data available and necessary for the system to be operational under real conditions. The main methods required to construct and use the system are explained. The achieved results are given and examined. Finally, some conclusions are drawn and suggestions for future work are given. 1.
Application of acoustic radiation pressure to align cells in a commercial flow cytometer (2013)

Forces derived from acoustic radiation pressure can be used to replace or partly replace hydrodynamic forces to align cells and particles in flow cytometry. The ability to focus cells into a tight line without relying on hydrodynamic forces allows many new possibilities for sample delivery. Dilute samples can be processed quickly. Flow velocities can be varied allowing control of particle delivery parameters such as laser interrogation time and volumetric sample input rates. Recently, a commercial flow cytometer that directs particles into the laser interrogation region using acoustic radiation pressure in a 200 μm channel has been developed. In this talk, the application of acoustic radiation pressure in flow cytometry systems from fundamental principles to implementation details will be presented. Data will be shown for both the operational implementation of the acoustic focusing device as well as demonstrating its ability to perform for complex biological assays.
Chloroplast thylakoid protein phosphatase reactions are redox‐independent and kinetically heterogeneous (1993)

At least eleven thylakoid proteins become phosphorylated under reducing conditions, and redox titration has identified a common midpoint potential of Em = +38 +/- 4 mV, n = 0.95 +/- 0.06. In the presence of the phosphatase inhibitor NaF (10 mM), the redox dependency of phosphorylation is found to be essentially unchanged: Em = +50 +/- 3 mV, n = 1.02 +/- 0.04. Thylakoid membranes were phosphorylated in the light and then incubated at various redox potentials for 15 min in the dark; no redox dependency was observed in the dephosphorylation of any of the 17 bands then distinguishable by autoradiography and phosphorimaging. The phosphoprotein phosphatase reactions can be divided arbitrarily into four kinetic classes: the fastest, class I, includes LHC II; the moderate class II includes D1 and D2; the slow class III includes CP43 and the 9 kDa phosphoprotein; finally, a 19.5 kDa protein exhibited no loss of 32P at all. In separate experiments we measured thylakoid protein dephosphorylation initiated by changing the redox potential from -140 to +200 mV, in the presence or absence of fluoride. In this case the results are consistent with at least two kinetically distinguishable classes of phosphoprotein phosphatase reactions. We conclude that thylakoid protein phosphatase reactions are kinetically heterogeneous and redox-independent. It follows that the redox dependency of thylakoid protein phosphorylation is a property of thylakoid protein kinase reactions. Our observed Em and n values are consistent with a primary site of kinase redox control at the level of PQ/PQ(.)- of the Qi (Qn) site of the cytochrome b6/f complex.

A 28.5%Cr-40%Ni-1%Mo-0.15%N Alloy Minimizing Fireside Corrosion in Waste Incinerators (1994)

Abstract A new austenitic corrosion resistant alloy of 28.5%Cr -40%Ni -1%Mo -0.15%N was developed for boiler tube application in waste incinerators. To combat corrosion due to chloride salts at low temperatures such as 400°C, Ni content was optimized to 40 wt.%. In contrast, the Cr content was set at 28.5 wt.% in order to assure a good resistance to sulfate/chloride salt mixtures at high temperatures such as 550°C. Localized corrosion such as intergranular corrosion and high temperature stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of conventional austenitic steels and alloys was studied by three point bent-beam test at 400°C with a chloride ash mixture in 0.15% HCl -300ppm SO2 -7.5% O2 -7.5% CO2 -20% H2O -bal.N2. High temperature SCC occurred for alloys of high Mo content whereas intergranular corrosion was obvious for low Mo and Mo free alloys. Nitrogen addition to alloys suppressed the intergranular corrosion drastically. Based on these findings, it was decided to add 1% Mo and 0.15% N to the new alloy.
Metabolic predictors of obesity. Contribution of resting energy expenditure, thermic effect of food, and fuel utilization to four-year weight gain of post-obese and never-obese women. (1995)

This prospective study was designed to identify abnormalities of energy expenditure and fuel utilization which distinguish post-obese women from never-obese controls. 24 moderately obese, postmenopausal, nondiabetic women with a familial predisposition to obesity underwent assessments of body composition, fasting and postprandial energy expenditure, and fuel utilization in the obese state and after weight loss (mean 12.9 kg) to a post-obese, normal-weight state. The post-obese women were compared with 24 never-obese women of comparable age and body composition. Four years later, without intervention, body weight was reassessed in both groups. Results indicated that all parameters measured in the post-obese women were similar to the never-obese controls: mean resting energy expenditure, thermic effect of food, and fasting and postprandial substrate oxidation and insulin-glucose patterns. Four years later, post-obese women regained a mean of 10.9 kg while control subjects remained lean (mean gain 1.7 kg) (P < 0.001 between groups). Neither energy expenditure nor fuel oxidation correlated with 4-yr weight changes, whereas self-reported physical inactivity was associated with greater weight regain. The data suggest that weight gain in obesity-prone women may be due to maladaptive responses to the environment, such as physical inactivity or excess energy intake, rather than to reduced energy requirements.

Object position tracking based on e-map and RFID in coal mine (2009)

Because of the special environment and the risk of accident in the coal mine, some of the major problems that concern the people are the safety production, managing and rescuing workers under the mine. To solve these problems, this paper brings out the underground personnel position system with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification technology). RFID is a new wireless communication technology and widely applied in other industry. The technology can be used to automatically identify the information of the workers, locate their positions on time and record their tracks, which can improve the information management level of the coal mine greatly and provide the necessary information for management and rescuing. In addition, GIS is also used to provide a visual window to assist the position system to make a more convenient management on the workers' location. It is clear that the GIS-based mine safety management information system can absolutely achieve a better impact with the seamless link of spatial data whose format is called SHP and some else property data. And the system can greatly improve the efficiency of the mine safety management.
Recording of Elevated Temperature Fatigue Crack Growth Data by DCPD System (2000)

The growth of "long" fatigue cracks, in α-β titanium alloy forging, subjected to cyclic stresses, is studied in this paper. The fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) data were recorded at room temperature, 350, 450, 550 and 650°F using the Direct Current Potential Difference (DCPD) technique. The DCPD method, used in this investigation, was found to record and correlate the potential difference in terms of crack growth rate (da/dN) and Mode I stress intensity factor range satisfactorily. Various factors related to error minimization and calibration equations for compact tension specimens have been elaborated. Also discussed were the means to enhance the accuracy of the data by the DCPD system for elevated temperature fatigue crack growth rate testing.
Inula ViscosaExtracts Induces Telomere Shortening and Apoptosis in Cancer Cells and Overcome Drug Resistance (2016)

Telomerase is activated in human papillomavirus (HPV) positive cervical cancer and targeting telomeres offers a novel anticancer therapeutic strategy. In this study, the telomere targeting properties, the cytotoxic as well as the pro-apoptotic effects of hexane (IV-HE) and dichloromethane (IV-DF) fractions from Inula viscosa L. extracts were investigated on human cervical HeLa and SiHa cancer cells. Our data demonstrate that IV-HE and IV-DF extracts were able to inhibit cell growth in HeLa and SiHa cells in a dose-dependent manner and studied resistant cell lines exhibited a resistance factor less than 2 when treated with the extracts. IV-HE and IV-DF extracts were able to inhibit telomerase activity and to induce telomere shortening as shown by telomeric repeat amplification protocol and TTAGGG telomere length assay, respectively. The sensitivity of fibroblasts to the extracts was increased when telomerase was expressed. Finally, IV-HE and IV-DF were able to induce apoptosis as evidenced by an increase in annexin-V labeling and caspase-3 activity. This study provides the first evidence that the IV-HE and IV-DF extracts from Inula viscosa L. target telomeres induce apoptosis and overcome drug resistance in tumor cells. Future studies will focus on the identification of the molecules involved in the anticancer activity.
Genetic and Functional Characterization of PCSK1 (2011)

PC1/3 is a neuroendocrine-specific member of the mammalian subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family. This seven-member family is involved in the endoproteolytic cleavage of a large number of precursor proteins including prohormones, proneuropeptides, zymogens, and proreceptors. PC1/3 is synthesized as a zymogen, proPC1/3, and its propeptide is rapidly and autocatalytically cleaved in the endoplasmic reticulum. The mature protein is sorted and stored in dense-core secretory vesicles, together with its substrates. Compound-inactivating mutations in the PCSK1 gene, which encodes PC1/3, cause monogenic obesity. Furthermore, the contribution of two common nonsynonymous variants in PCSK1 to polygenic obesity risk has recently been established. Additional rare variants have been identified in non-consanguineous extremely obese Europeans but functional characterization has not yet been described. Sequencing efforts of larger cohorts of obese patients might reveal more variants conferring risk of obesity.
Design of Resonant Grating Filters (1996)

Resonant grating filters offer high-contrast, narrowband reflectivity and transmissivity for an incident plane wave. They differ from other optical filters in that they operate on the principle of resonance excitation, rather than a bragg-type or Fabry-Perot effect. The principle of resonance excitation has been equated with the excitation of a leaky waveguide mode. 1 Connecting the resonance to a leaky mode excitation has led to new design principles for resonance grating filters. For instance, the ideal waveguide dispersion relation has been used to locate the position of the resonance in wavelength or angle. 2 However, connecting resonant width to leaky waveguide excitation has largely been ignored. We will show how the waveguiding concept can be extended to give approximations to resonant width. This approach is based on three different models: homogeneous RCWA 3 , an approximate homogeneous modal analysis, and an approximate coupled-mode approach. Note, the term homogenous refers to solving the problem without the existence of an incident plane wave field.

Caracterización genética de los bovinos Criollos del Uruguay II: Estudio de su variabilidad genética (1998)

muestras de ADN por la metodologia PCR/RFLP para las proteinas de la leche k-caseina y b- lactoglobulina, 20 muestras para el microsatelite CYP21 (esteroide 21-hidroxilasa) y 77 animales para hemoglobina mediante electroforesis en gel de almidon. Los indices de endogamia y de heterocigosidad correspondieron a F= 0,02 y He= 0,487. Las frecuencias genotipicas se distribuyeron de acuerdo a los valores esperados para el equilibrio H.W. El bajo indice de endogamia obtenido en los 4 loci analizados, la relacion entre el numero de genotipos homocigotos y heterocigotos, el alto polimorfismo que presento el microsatelite CYP21, asi como la variabilidad observada en la coloracion del pelaje, permiten sugerir que, a pesar de ser esta una reserva aislada geograficamente, ha expresado una variabilidad genetica tan importante que justifica su conservacion como un recurso genetico de animal domestico. La diversidad genetica animal es considerada indispensable para sostener la productividad de la agricultura. La FAO estima que el 30 p.100 de las razas de ganado, corren riesgo de extincion, encontrandose mas de la mitad de ellas en paises en desarrollo. Antecedentes de estudios geneticos realizados en bovinos Criollos americanos (Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Cuba) permiten hoy, revalorizar esta raza para ser utilizada en la explotacion agropecuaria. En el Uruguay, existe una reserva de alrededor de 600 animales que habita en una zona humeda, de sierras y montes, no alterada, limitada por diferentes barreras geograficas. El aspecto morfologico de estos animales se asemeja al de ciertas poblaciones de bovinos Criollos argentinos, venezolanos, colombianos y, a ciertas razas ibericas. Con el objetivo de estudiar la estructura genetica de esta poblacion, se analizaron 82
Scanning Electron Microscopic Studies of Nasal Polyps (1974)

Nasal polyps yielded specimens, which technically were most suitable for study in the scanning electron microscope. A small number of glands and cytoplasm protuberances from the epithelial cells were found. 30% of the total surface was covered by cilia. The cilia looked normal with no signs of destruction. In half of the specimens, areas with widened intercellular spaces were observed. The surface of nasal polyps did not differ essentially from that of the inferior turbinate in patients with perennial rhinitis. It was, however, characteristic of the polyps that cells from a transitional-like epithelium protruded, dome-like, at the surface, resembling cobble-stones. Besides this, a great variation of the surface area of the cells was found, with the occurrence of large cells with a surface area of up to 150 μm2. Another characteristic feature was the occurrence of an irregular surface with an appearance resembling a hilly country, in which every uneveness consisted of several cells.
Oral Abstracts (2021)

Background: Chronic HBV infection is maintained by HBV cccDNA. Evidence suggests that cccDNA persistence is maintained by cccDNA replenishment mainly through de novo infection. We aimed to test a new HBV cure strategy that constantly blocks new rounds of infection in HBV infected animal model with anti-HBs antibody. A prerequisite for establishing HBV cure with this new strategy is that infected livers must undergo spontaneous clearance. Methods: An optimized AAV vector was used to express sustained high level of anti-HBs. HBV infected uPA/SCID mice with null T and B cell immunity and viremia &gt;1E8 HBV DNA copies/ml, were treated with AAV vector expressing malaria antibody or anti-HBs antibodies 7-week post inoculation. Serum HBV DNA and HBsAg level were monitored and liver HBV DNA including cccDNA level was determined through random sampling of each autopsied liver 20 times. Results: &gt; 100ug/mL expressed antibodies were detected in week 3 after a single injection of 1E11 genome copies of each AAV vector and sustained for at least 250-day. There are two key findings: 1. T cell immunity independent clearance. Viremia in HBV infected animals can experience up to 10-fold drop for a few weeks, indicating a portion of infected cells spontaneously clear HBV infection. Viremia in animals treated with anti-HBs antibody was up to &gt;100-fold lower than that with expressing malaria antibody, suggesting the presence of T cell immunity-independent clearance and de novo infection after all infectible liver cells infected. 2. Validation of new HBV cure strategy. Intervention with anti-HBs antibody reproduce two HBV cure courses resembling acute HBV infection, one group of animals (n=9) started progressive viremia reduction for up to 24-fold after reaching peak viremia (&gt;3E10 copies/ml) and the other group (n=6) aborted peak infection with &gt;100-fold lower viremia and 46-fold lower HBsAg level compared to animals with expressed malaria antibody. HBV DNA and HBsAg in one of 6 animals became undetectable for &gt;3 months and cccDNA was only detected in 2 of 19 liver samplings (average 0.036 copies/cell and 0.008 copies/cell in two positive samplings), while cccDNA was detected in all 20 sampling with average 10.8 cccDNA copies/cell in an animal treated with malaria antibody. Conclusion: 1. T cell immunity-independent HBV clearance occurs, and it services a foundation for establishing HBV cure in HBV infected human livers of chimeric mice. 2. Constantly blocking de novo infection with engineered humoral immunity that remedies absent anti-HBs significantly lowers HBV infection and cccDNA level and reproduces two HBV cure courses resembling resolution courses in acute HBV infection.
Carbon nanotube planar absorber cryogenic bolometer as a novel primary absolute standard detector for optical power measurements for fibre optics and photonics (Conference Presentation) (2018)

Primary standards of optical radiation total radiant flux are traditionally realized by absolute cryogenic radiometers [1] working on the principle of electrical substitution with a relative total uncertainty of 1e-4 in the power measurement. The current cryogenic radiometers though operate over a limited spectral range, usually from 350 nm to 800 nm and working with free space beam. For fibre optics telecom spectral range 1300 nm - 1650 nm this scale is then extended in several steps, typically via application of other standard detector systems such as spectrally flat room temperature pyro detectors [2] and spectrally dependent temperature stabilized solid state detectors [3], which adversely affects the scale accuracy by a factor of approximately one order of magnitude. The typical relative total uncertainty of state-of-the-art transfer standard fibre coupled detectors reaches 0.5 %. Recently published results on planar electrical-substitution carbon nanotube cryogenic radiometer (PCBR) [4] brought the opportunities for using these systems as new absolute primary standards in telecom spectral range directly in fibre coupled configuration. This shortens the traceability chain, with a potential improvement in the total uncertainty to below 0.1 %. CMI in collaboration with NIST are developing the first prototypes of fibre coupled PCBR systems. First both free space and fibre coupled measurements have confirmed radiometric The paper will present both the core physical parameters of these PCBR electrical-substitution systems and initial results including the currently achieved agreement of traditional transfer standards with the PCBR at the level of 0.2 %. The work reported in this abstract was partially funded by project EMPIR 14IND13 PhotInd. This project has received funding from the EMPIR programme co-financed by the Participating States and from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
