Extension of the emission measurements for alternative test methods above 1 GHz for unintentional electromagnetic radiators (2015)

The standards by CISPR and IEC describe different procedures for the measurement of the radiated disturbance of electronic equipment. However, these standards only account for measuring the maximum radiated electric field strength for a specified number of sampling points. This leads to the assumption that especially for the characteristics of unintentional electromagnetic radiators, the specified amount of sampling points is not sufficient so that the true maximum of the electric field strength might be undetermined. Therefore, stochastic approaches were derived to predict the maximum radiated electric field strength based on the total radiated power. Above 1 GHz and without using a reverberation chamber, the determination of the total radiated power is very time consuming. Hence, a new approach is presented in this paper which uses standardized sampling approaches from alternative test methods to predict the maximum radiated electric field strength from a reduced number of angles of observation. Its accuracy and applicability as an extension for the emission measurements of unintentional electromagnetic radiators is assessed.
Design, Fabrication and Investigation of Semitransparent Thermoelectric Cells Based on Graphene (2018)

The design, fabrication and investigation of the graphene-In-SnO2 (indium tin oxide (ITO)) based bilayer semitransparent thermoelectric cells are described. The cells were fabricated by encapsulating the graphene powder in the form of narrow strips on the transparent flexible plastic substrates covered by ITO. Between the parallel graphene strips, there were transparent ITO strips of the same width. This structure made the thermoelectric cells semitransparent. It was observed that Seebeck coefficient and figure of merit of the thermoelectric cell increased with temperature. The output voltage of the cells also increased with increase in gradient of temperature. The obtained results may be used for the development of the semitransparent solar thermoelectric cells because this technology is cheaper and simple as compared to semitransparent solar cells technologies.

Studies on the Overall Oxygen Transfer Rate and Mixing Time in Pilot-Scale Surface Aeration Vessel (2001)

An aerated vessel with Simcar type surface aerator was studied to estimate its significant performance characteristics i.e., oxygen transfer rate, mixing time and power consumption. The oxygen transfer and mixing characteristics were investigated with variations in the operating variables such as rotational speed, diameter, bottom clearance of impeller, liquid height and power consumption in single and dual impeller systems. The bottom clearance of the top impeller was found to affect largely the capacity of the impeller by varying the quantity of liquid loaded to it. It was also ensured that surface aeration caused a slight increase in mixing time compared to it under ungassed conditions. The dual impeller system was employed for the purpose of improving oxygen transfer and mixing at TH < 1 varying the types and the bottom clearance of thelower impeller. However, the oxygen transfer rate was independent of the lower impeller mainly depending on the capacity of the top impeller though mixing time was sharply reduced by the lower impeller. The effect of the bottom clearance of the lower impeller was related to the liquid flow pattern inside the vessel, which was presented by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The oxygen transfer rate and the mixing time were correlated with power consumption within reliable error range.

The Role of Light, Concentration, and Species in Foliar Uptake of Herbicides in Woody Plants (1968)

Abstract Uptake of 2 herbicides into leaves of 10 species of woody plants was studied. In most species, picloram entered faster and was accumulated at higher concentrations than 2,4,5-T. Leaves of these species absorbed 2,4,5-T in amounts relative to their susceptibility to 2,4,5-T. A circle of tissue cut from a leaf absorbed more than an entire leaf. In the range 0.004 to 0.5M, sodium acetate had little effect on uptake of either herbicide by live oak leaves. The abaxial surface of the leaf usually absorbed more than the adaxial surface. Herbicides entered live oak leaves in amounts approximately proportional to the log of the concentration of the herbicide outside of the leaf. Light intensity was inversely related to herbicidal uptake by live oak leaves and light quality had no significant effect.

Fibroblast growth factor receptor influences primary cilium length through an interaction with intestinal cell kinase (2019)

Vertebrate primary cilium is a Hedgehog signaling center but the extent of its involvement in other signaling systems is less well understood. This report delineates a mechanism by which fibroblast growth factor (FGF) controls primary cilia. Employing proteomic approaches to characterize proteins associated with the FGF-receptor, FGFR3, we identified the serine/threonine kinase intestinal cell kinase (ICK) as an FGFR interactor. ICK is involved in ciliogenesis and participates in control of ciliary length. FGF signaling partially abolished ICK's kinase activity, through FGFR-mediated ICK phosphorylation at conserved residue Tyr15, which interfered with optimal ATP binding. Activation of the FGF signaling pathway affected both primary cilia length and function in a manner consistent with cilia effects caused by inhibition of ICK activity. Moreover, knockdown and knockout of ICK rescued the FGF-mediated effect on cilia. We provide conclusive evidence that FGF signaling controls cilia via interaction with ICK.
Plasma beta amyloid and cytokine profile in women with Alzheimer's disease. (2008)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) belongs to a group of neurodegenerative disorders. It is characterized by irreversible and progressive memory loss accompanied with decline in other cognitive functions. At a microscopic level, the typical neuropathologic features, senile plaques and neurofibrillary lesions are found. The pathological processes lead to neuronal loss, synaptic dysfunction and inappropriate activity of neurotransmitters. The major constituent of senile plaques is abnormally aggregated beta amyloid protein. Beta amyloid (Abeta) is a short (40-42 amino acid) product of proteolysis of the transmembrane amyloid precursor protein (APP). Extracellular depositions of Abeta 1-42 may initiate a wide range of pathological processes including glia activation, neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis. There is convincing evidence that inflammatory response to accumulation of beta amyloid plays a pivotal role in the progression of neuropathological changes found in AD. Current research was directed at assessing beta amyloid, cytokines (IL-6, IL-10 and TNF alpha) plasma levels in women with AD. Hundred and twenty four women, aged between 59 to 86 years, were enrolled in the study. Amongst them 57 were diagnosed with AD (29 subjects in early stage and 28 subjects with moderate to severe stadium of disease) and 67 women without dementia were investigated as a control group. The lowest values of Abeta 1-42 were found in AD subjects in moderate to severe stage of disease as compared with the early stage of AD (p< 0.05) and the control group (p<0.01). Change in IL-6 values was significantly different between groups with the lowest values found in women without dementia. Both subset of AD patients demonstrated statistically enhanced IL-6 levels when compared with the control group (p<0.001, p<0.01 respectively for early and moderate/severe stage of AD). Moreover, our study revealed a trend to increase in TNF alfa and IL-10 values in AD. However, those differences were not statistically significant. In addition, we did not detect any correlations between plasma beta amyloid and investigated cytokines.
Histamine Released From Skin-Infiltrating Basophils but Not Mast Cells Is Crucial for Acquired Tick Resistance in Mice (2018)

Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods that can transmit pathogens to humans and animals, leading to serious infectious diseases such as Lyme disease. After single or multiple tick infestation, some animal species develop resistance to tick feeding, leading to reduced risk of pathogen transmission. In mice infested with larval <i>Haemaphysalis longicornis</i> ticks, both mast cells and basophils reportedly play key roles in the manifestation of acquired tick resistance (ATR), but it remains ill-defined how they contribute to it. Here, we investigated their products responsible for ATR. Treatment of mice with antihistamine abolished the ATR while histamine or histamine H1 receptor agonist reduced tick-feeding even in the first infestation. In accordance with these, mice deficient for histamine production showed little or no ATR, indicating the crucial role for histamine in the expression of ATR. Adoptive transfer of mast cells and basophils derived from histamine-sufficient or deficient mice to recipient mice lacking mast cells and basophils, respectively, revealed that histamine produced by basophils but not mast cells is essential for the manifestation of ATR, in contrast to the case of local and systemic anaphylaxis where mast cell-derived histamine is the major player. During the second but not first tick infestation, basophils accumulated and made a cluster, surrounding a tick mouthpart, in the epidermis whereas mast cells were scattered and localized mainly in the dermis, more distantly from a tick mouthpart. This appears to explain why basophil-derived histamine is much more effective than mast cell-derived one. Histamine-sufficient, but not -deficient mice showed the thickened epidermis at the second tick-feeding site. Taken together, histamine released from skin-infiltrating basophils rather than skin-resident mast cells plays a crucial role in the manifestation of ATR, perhaps through promotion of epidermal hyperplasia that may inhibit tick feeding.

Floating Zone Growth and Characterization of (Ca1–xNdx)12Al14O33+6x (x ∼ 0.001) Single Crystals (2016)

Rare earth Nd<sup>3+</sup> ion-doped Ca<sub>12</sub>Al<sub>14</sub>O<sub>33</sub> single crystals were grown at a rate of 1 mm/h by the floating zone technique in an oxygen atmosphere. The Nd concentration in the central area of the as-grown crystals was higher than that in the peripheral area due to the highly concave growth interface shape. The average Nd concentration in the as-prepared parallelepiped slices of ∼6 × 3 × 2 mm<sup>3</sup> for electride fabrication was ∼0.093 ± 0.011 atom % Nd in contrast to the nominal 0.1 atom % Nd concentration. The Nd-doped C12A7:Nd single crystalline electride prepared by thermal treatment with a Ti metal at 1100 °C for 48 h induced an insulator-metal transition with the highest conductivity of approximately 1165 S/cm. These annealing conditions provide an approach to completely remove clathrated oxide ions from the crystallographic cages, leading to the formation of C12A7:Nd(<i>e</i> <sup>-</sup>) and C12A7:<i>e</i> <sup>-</sup> electrides with high-density electrons (∼2.4 ± 0.2 × 10<sup>21</sup> and ∼1.8 ± 0.1 × 10<sup>21</sup> cm<sup>-3</sup>) localized in the cages. The carrier mobility at room temperature in C12A7:Nd(<i>e</i> <sup>-</sup>) was very similar to that in C12A7:<i>e</i> <sup>-</sup>, even though it was very high at temperatures below ∼150 K.
Operating articulated objects based on experience (2010)

Many tasks that would be of benefit to users in domestic environments require that robots manipulate articulated objects such as doors and drawers. In this paper, we present a novel approach that simultaneously estimates the kinematic model of an articulated object based on the trajectory described by the robot's end effector, and uses this model to predict the future trajectory of the end effector. One advantage of our approach is that the robot can directly use these predictions to generate an equilibrium point control path for operating the mechanism. Additionally, our approach can improve these predictions based on previously learned articulation models. We have implemented and tested our approach on a real mobile manipulator. Through 40 trials, we show that the robot can reliably open various household objects, including cabinet doors, sliding doors, office drawers, and a dishwasher. Furthermore, we demonstrate that using the information from previous interactions as a prior significantly improves the prediction accuracy.
Two-phase flow rods for CIRENE reactor control (1978)

Binary mixtures of hydrophilic and hydrophobic solvents were assessed for their ability to balance enzyme activity with the conservation of enzyme stability in organic media. Acetone, dioxane and dodecane were chosen as model organic solvents, and subtilisin Carlsberg and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were chosen as model enzymes. Residual enzyme activities were measured to monitor enzyme stability, and the fluorescence intensity of HRP was monitored to investigate structural changes due to the presence of an organic solvent. Enzyme stability increased with the increasing hydrophobicity of the solvent mixture used, and a solvent mixture with a high log P value (~ >4) was capable of conserving enzyme stability. Enzyme stability in organic media can be conserved therefore with a mixture of hydrophilic and hydrophobic solvents: this approach might be used as a general and practical strategy for optimizing enzyme activity and stability for industrial applications.
Pedigree traceability in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) using genetic markers: A comparison between microsatellites and SNPs (2016)

To increase productivity, genetic improvement in cultivated shrimp is of much interest. Evaluation of genetic parameters (e.g., heritability, genotype–environment interaction, inbreeding) and the design of appropriate breeding plans are necessary steps towards genetic improvement. Pedigree traceability by genetic markers is relevant to these objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of 2 genetic marker panels (microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) for pedigree traceability of a cultivated stock of whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Pedigree of a stock from 81 full-sib families reared in a common environment was assessed with microsatellites and SNPs as genetic markers. The panel of 76 SNPs performed better than microsatellites, allowing 94–96% of parentage assignment of the tested progeny (n = 192). A minimum number of 50 SNPs with a proportion of 60% loci with a minimum allele frequency of 0.3 is suitable for successful pedigree assignment. SNP markers are suggested for confidently testing the pedigree of shrimp from known parental broodstock.
Ist „einfach“ einfach? (2012)

Die derzeitig viel diskutierte neue Gebührenordnung für die Zahnmedizin bildet nach Meinung vieler Kolleginnen und Kollegen bei einem Ansatz des 2,3-fachen Schwellenwerts eher eine durchschnittliche Leistung hinsichtlich des mit dieser Gebühr abgegoltenen Aufwands und Schwierigkeitsgrads in den verschiedenen zahnmedizinischen Gebieten ab. Hinterfragt man dann, was der 1-fache Gebührensatz abbildet, kann sich diese „Einfachheit“ einerseits leicht auf den materiellen Aufwand für diese Leistung zurückrechnen lassen. Andererseits aber wird diese Leistung an einem Patienten erbracht, der selbst bei material- und durchführungstechnischen einfachen Maßnahmen durch seine Persönlichkeit, seine Wünsche, eventuelle Begleiterkrankungen und viele andere Begleitumstände alles andere als „Einfachheit“ in der Durchführung der Behandlung entstehen lässt.
Calcium Carbonate Crystals Formation by Ureolytic Bacteria Isolated from Australian Soil and Sludge (2012)

Ureolytic bacteria were isolated selectively from sludge and soil samples (Perth, Western Australia). Three isolates were genetically examined by 16S rRNA. They were mostly closely related to Bacillus species. A bacterium producing the highest urease activity, Bacillus sp. MCP11 (DSM 23526), was used to precipitate calcium carbonate crystals. These crystals were precipitated due to bacterial activity in the presence of cementation solution (urea and calcium chloride, up to 1 M). Ureolytic bacteria hydrolyse urea producing carbonate and NH4+ causing an increase in the pH. In the presence of calcium ions in excess, calcium carbonate will precipitate. Type, size and shape of the precipitated calcium carbonate crystals were characterized by using light microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It was found that vaterite (spheres) and calcite (rhombohedral crystals) were precipitated at the surface of sand granules indicating the possibility of using those crystals to cement loose sand.
Component mode iteration for frequency calculations (1987)

This paper presents mode iteration, a new method for carrying out a form of subspace iteration on the substructure level, for structures composed of substructures. In mode iteration, substructure displacement is in terms of component with the interface displacements as coefficients. Component modes are chosen such that exact compatibility is assured throughout the structure. The reduced structure eigenvalue problem is assembled and solved for lower mode approximations. The resulting estimates of lower mode interface motion are used to refine the modes by approximating the dynamic response of substructures to interface motion with a vector iteration process. For this step, the substructures are independent and can be processed in parallel. Reassembly and solution of the reduced structure problem yields improved lower mode estimates. Further iterations of refinement and reassembly are performed until convergence takes place. The initial modes are generated automatically and at negligible expense and numerical examples show that convergence with these is excellent, yielding very accurate results after only one iteration. Indeed, convergence is shown to be significantly faster than in the standard subspace iteration method.
Dielectric Characteristics of Oil filled Transformer under Non-standard Lightning Surge Waveforms. Dielectric Characteristics of Turn-to-Turn insulation Model under Non-standard Lightning Surge Waveforms combined with Oscillatory Voltage. (2003)

To achieve a rational insulation design for transformers, it is important to evaluate dielectric strength against actually impinging on equipment on-site This paper deals with the dielectric characteristics of a turn-to-turn insulation model for oil filled transformer under non-standard lightning surge waveforms combined with oscillatory voltage. As the results‚ the breakdown voltages and the partial discharge inception voltages of a turn-to-turn insulation model under non-standard impulse wave forms are higher than standard impulse voltages.

Effect of Ta2N crystallinity on diffusion barrier properties (2003)

Ta 2 N thin films deposited at different substrate temperatures onto silicon (001) substrates can produce amorphous and crystalline phase with different preferred orientations. Upon annealing at 500°C for 30min, these films exhibit crystalline phases with the strong preferred orientation from (101) for the film deposited at 500°C to (002) for the film deposited at higher temperatures. Subsequently, the viability of employing them as the diffusion barriers between copper and silicon is investigated by annealing in a vacuum chamber at 500, 600, 700, and 800°C for 30 min following sputtering, where the thicknesses of Cu and Ta 2 N are fixed at 150nm and 100nm, respectively. The results show that the chemical reactions of Ta 2 N with Cu and Si and the structural stability at high temperatures are dependent on the crystallinity of Ta 2 N and the Ta 2 N phase with the highest (002) preferred orientation exhibits the highest structural stability. This suggests that the (002) orientation in the poly-Ta 2 N can prevent copper diffusion more effectively.
