Signal Processing: Image Communication ARTICLE IN PRESS (2010)

Data hiding has become increasingly important for many applications, like confidential transmission, video surveillance, military and medical applications. In this paper we present a new approach of 3D object data hiding without changing the position of vertices in the 3D space. The main idea of the proposed method is to find and to synchronize particular areas of the 3D objects used to embed the message. The embedding is carried out by changing the connectivity of edges in the selected areas composed of quadruples. The proposed approach of data hiding in 3D objects is based on minimum spanning tree (MST). This method is lossless in the sense that the positions of the vertices are remaining the same before and after embedding. Moreover the method is blind and does not depend of the order of the data in the files. This approach is very interesting when the 3D objects have been digitalized with high precision.
Ph ADJUSTMENT CONTROL OF OXIDATIVE OFF‐FLAVORS DURING GRINDING OF RAW LEGUME SEEDS (1970)

SUMMARY— Grinding dry California Small White beans or Lee soybeans under acid conditions inhibited lipoxidase in the seeds and resulted in bland legume slurries and “milks.” Sensory evaluation and gas chromatography were used to determine the effect of processing method on flavor. Off‐flavor development was suppressed at pH 3.85 and below; acidification to about pH 2.0 was necessary to obtain maximum protein extraction in the preparation of legume “milk.” Acceptable bland products were obtained from the slurries by neutralization after heating.
Targeted ablation of Fn14 receptor improves exercise capacity and inhibits neurogenic muscle atrophy (2022)

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a prevalent complication in multiple chronic diseases and disuse conditions. Fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily and a bona fide receptor of the TWEAK cytokine. Accumulating evidence suggests that Fn14 levels are increased in catabolic conditions as well as during exercise. However, the role of Fn14 in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass and function remains poorly understood. In this study, through the generation of novel skeletal muscle-specific Fn14-knockout mice, we have investigated the muscle role of Fn14 in the regulation of exercise capacity and denervation-induced muscle atrophy. Our results demonstrate that there was no difference in skeletal muscle mass between control and muscle-specific Fn14-knockout mice. Nevertheless, the deletion of Fn14 in skeletal muscle significantly improved exercise capacity and resistance to fatigue. This effect of Fn14 deletion is associated with an increased proportion of oxidative myofibers and higher capillaries number per myofiber in skeletal muscle. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that targeted deletion of Fn14 inhibits denervation-induced muscle atrophy in adult mice. Deletion of Fn14 reduced the expression of components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and non-canonical NF-kappa B signaling in denervated skeletal muscle, as well as increased the phosphorylation of Akt kinase and FoxO3a transcription factor. Collectively, our results demonstrate that targeted inhibition of Fn14 improves exercise tolerance and inhibits denervation-induced muscle atrophy in adult mice.
"Analysis of the Anaplasma mavginale genome by pulsed-field electrophoresis" (1993)

Anaplasma marginale is a rickettsial parasite of bovine erythrocytes causing world-wide economic losses in livestock production. Despite its importance, little is known about this rickettsia at a molecular level because it has not been cultured in vitro, and there is no small-animal model. Although several genes have been cloned and sequenced, the gross genome structure of the organism has not yet been well characterized. We separated intact bovine erythrocytes from leucocytes, and determined the genome size of A. marginale by use of restriction endonuclease cleavage and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). A value of 56 mol% G+C was obtained for this genome by spectral analysis. Undigested A. marginale DNA failed to migrate under several different electrophoretic conditions, indicating a circular genome. Digestions of intact A. marginale DNA were performed using restriction endonucleases NotI, SfiI and PacI. Complete digestion with SfiI resulted in 12 distinct bands ranging in size from 14 to 170 kbp. Total size determined by addition of SfiI-digested fragments was approximately 1200 kbp. PacI cleaved the A. marginale genome from three different isolates into just three fragments, of 598, 557 and 97 kbp. Incomplete digestion produced a band measuring 1250 kbp. These results indicate that A. marginale has a circular genome between 1200 and 1260 kbp, with a G+C content of 56 mol%.
Strong two-photon absorption enhancement in a unique bis-porphyrin bearing a diketopyrrolopyrrole unit (2013)

A π-extended bis-porphyrin bridged via a diketopyrrolopyrrole unit was prepared in 5 steps. This fully conjugated π-system displays strongly distorted linear absorption, while its two-photon absorption cross-section reaches 2500-3000 GM at 940 nm. LC-like behaviour, easy orientation and low viscosity are, according to XRD, POM and DSC measurements, due to formation of plastic rather than a liquid crystal.
CD10/NEP in non-small cell lung carcinomas. Relationship to cellular proliferation. (1994)

The cell surface metalloproteinase CD10/neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP) hydrolyzes a variety of peptide substrates and reduces cellular responses to specific peptide hormones. Because CD10/NEP modulates peptide-mediated proliferation of small cell carcinomas of the lung (SCLC) and normal fetal bronchial epithelium, we evaluated the enzyme's expression in non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). Bronchoalveolar and large cell carcinoma cell lines had low levels of CD10/NEP expression whereas squamous, adenosquamous, and adenocarcinoma cell lines had higher and more variable levels of the cell surface enzyme. Regional variations in CD10/NEP immunostaining in primary NSCLC specimens prompted us to correlate CD10/NEP expression with cell growth. In primary carcinomas of the lung, clonal NSCLC cell lines and SV40-transformed fetal airway epithelium, subsets of cells expressed primarily CD10/NEP or the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Cultured airway epithelial cells had the lowest levels of CD10/NEP expression when the highest percentage of cells were actively dividing; in addition, these cells grew more rapidly when cell surface CD10/NEP was inhibited. NSCLC cell lines had receptors for a variety of mitogenic peptides known to be CD10/NEP substrates, underscoring the functional significance of growth-related variability in CD10/NEP expression.
Sperm–Egg Interactions: Sperm–Egg Binding in Mammals (2001)

Abstract Fertilization of the mammalian egg occurs through an ordered sequence of reactions in which the sperm adheres to, then penetrates, the zona pellucida. It then binds to and interacts with the egg's plasma membrane, such that the gametes fuse and the egg is activated to form the zygote. These reactions involve specific molecules on sperm and egg that mediate the interactions; malfunction may cause infertility.
Unconventional energy sources: gas hydrates (2012)

Gas hydrates are typically formed when water and gas (e.g., light hydrocarbons) come into contact at high pressure and low temperature. Current estimates of the amount of energy trapped in naturally occurring gas hydrate deposits, which are found in ocean sediments along the continental margins and in sediments under the permafrost, range from twice to orders of magnitude larger than conventional gas reserves. This has led to gas hydrates being considered as a potential future unconventional energy source.
A Novel Diastereoselective Synthesis of (Z)-Fluoroalkenes via a Nozaki−Hiyama−Kishi-Type Reaction (2005)

A highly diastereoselective and straightforward synthesis for (Z)-2-fluoroallylic alcohols via a Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi-type reaction with the corresponding bromofluoroolefins was developed, providing an easy access to highly interesting fluorinated synthons.
Color Doppler sonography of the temporal arteries in giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica. (1997)

Decreased blood flow velocity in the superficial temporal artery is very common in GCA patients and rare in PMR patients. Therefore, CDS examination may contribute to the diagnosis of GCA.

Tachyarrhythmias in Koch's triangle: to be burned out or to be cool? (2007)

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation has proven to be highly effective in the treatment of tachyarrhythmias in Koch’s triangle. Despite this successful approach, several disadvantages can be expected, such as patient discomfort, coagulum formation on the electrode, intralesional haemorrhage, endocardial disruption leading to thrombus formation, steam popping or perforation, some degree of tissue disruption with irreversible damage, and ragged edges, making it potentially arrhythmogenic. More importantly, there is an increased risk for right bundle branch block or inadvertent complete heart block. Therefore, alternative energy sources have been developed, of which cryo ablation seems to be very promising. This energy source has the ability to reversibly demonstrate loss of function with cooling to less negative temperatures (cryo mapping) so that prospective ablation sites can be investigated, before a definitive and irreversible lesion is created. 1 This should lead to less applications and abolish the risk of permanent conduction disturbances. Progressive ice formation at the catheter tip causes adherence to the adjacent tissue, making ablation safe to perform during unstable catheter position or even during tachycardia, without the risk of dislodgement of the catheter at termination of the arrhythmia. The more precise delivery of therapy due to cryo mapping and the creation of smaller lesions both in area and volume, together with the formation of a homogenous fibrosis with a proven preservation of the extracellular matrix and a well demarcated border, makes it potentially less thrombogenic and proarrhythmic. In atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), it is the only method to target the slow pathway on EP basis, as during cryo mapping programmed atrial stimulation can be performed to determine if the AH jump has disappeared and/or AVNRT is no longer inducible without carrying the risk of dislodgement of the catheter. 2 Of course, extensive clinical investigation is needed to evaluate these theoretical advantages. In this context, four articles have recently been published in this journal concerning cryo ablation in patients with AVNRT. 3–6.
Magnetic properties of annular Josephson junctions for radiation detection: Experimental results (1999)

We report on experimental results about Josephson junctions for radiation detection with an annular geometry. The observed suppression of the critical Josephson current and the presence of one single resonance step in the current–voltage characteristic, as predicted by the theory, strongly support the idea that this geometry could be very convenient for radiation detection. The results were obtained when one single magnetic fluxon was trapped in the central hole, and they represent the first experimental confirmation of the theoretical predictions in the case of annular junctions with finite ring width.
Phase I evaluation of docetaxel and topotecan for patients with advanced solid tumors (2004)

This trial demonstrated that a regimen of docetaxel and topotecan with G-CSF support was generally well tolerated and had promising activity in patients with nasopharyngeal and SCLC.
Comparison of metallothionein (MT) and Ki-67 antigen expression in benign and malignant thyroid tumours. (2010)

Thyroid carcinomas are the most frequently occurring tumours in the endocrine system. Metallothioneins (MT) and Ki-67 proteins are present in intensely proliferating cells, and their expression has been observed in numerous tumours, including thyroid tumours. The purpose of this study was to analyse the relationship between intensity of MT expression and Ki-67 antigen on one hand and histological features of the examined thyroid tumours on the other. The investigated material included 186 archival paraffin blocks with samples of various thyroid tissues, obtained from the Chair and Department of Pathomorphology, Medical University of Wroclaw. In paraffin sections, immunohistochemical reactions were performed with the use of monoclonal anti-MT (I/II) and anti-Ki-67 antibodies. Intensity of MT and Ki-67 antigen expression was evaluated using a light microscope using the semi-quantitative method of Remmele. A significant difference in MT expression was noted between different tumours of the thyroid: the highest expression was detected in follicular carcinoma and the lowest was detected in medullary carcinoma. Expression of MT was also significantly elevated in follicular carcinoma as compared to follicular adenoma. On the other hand, no significant differences were seen between expression of Ki-67 antigen in follicular adenoma and follicular carcinoma. Moreover, these investigations detected no correlation between the expression of MT and Ki-67 antigen in follicular adenoma and follicular carcinoma. In view of the obtained results, the expression of MT can be considered as a potential marker of differentiation between the two types of thyroid tumours, which are otherwise difficult to differentiate.
Reduction of metal ions by boranephosphonate DNA (2012)

Oligodeoxyribonucleotides bearing boranephosphonate linkages (bpDNA) were shown to reduce a number of metal ions and form nanoparticles through a novel reaction pathway that leads to phosphate diesters or phosphate triesters in water or alcohols respectively. The synthetic utility of this reaction was further demonstrated through the synthesis of oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing phosphate triester linkages. This new reactivity also makes bpDNA promising for use in construction of DNA templated metallic nanostructures.
Selection of plum varieties for planting by applying the AHP method (2018)

Fruit growing represents activity that deals with a large number of people in Serbia. When we speak of plums, it is like a traditional fruit species raises in Serbia for many years and is of great economic importance. It can be said that the production of plum is a symbol of Serbia. Agricultural producers aim to realize maximum results and fruit of all kinds of fruit. The success of dealing with fruit production is largely dependent on the quality of the selection of varieties of fruit. The selection of varieties can be made based on many criteria. The complexity of decision problems due to the appearance of a large number of criteria requires the use of a particular method for multicriteria decision making. The subject of this work is the selection of plum varieties for planting through the AHP method.
Surveillance for waterborne disease and outbreaks associated with drinking water and water not intended for drinking--United States, 2005-2006. (1993)

CDC and EPA use surveillance data to identify the types of water systems, deficiencies, and etiologic agents associated with WBDOs and to evaluate the adequacy of current technologies and practices for providing safe drinking water. Surveillance data also are used to establish research priorities, which can lead to improved water-quality regulation development. The majority of drinking water deficiencies are now associated with contamination at points outside the jurisdiction of public water systems (e.g., regrowth of Legionella spp. in hot water systems) and water contamination that might not be regulated by EPA (e.g., contamination of tap water at the POU). Improved education of consumers and plumbers might help address these risk factors.

Determination of the Amount of V<SUB>4</SUB>C<SUB>3</SUB> Precipitates in a Low Carbon Vanadium Steel by Means of Slip Trace Method (1973)

Determination of the amount of V4C3 precipitates was carried out by means of “Slip Trace Method” using a 0.03%C-0.25%V steel subjected to a homogeneous dispersion heat treatment including solution treatment, cold working, and aging.Assuming that the shape of V4C3 particles was spherical, the calculated amount of V4C3 precipitates was 0.184%, which was about 41% larger than that obtained by an electrolytic isolation method (0.133%).The origins of the error introduced into the calculated amount of the precipitates were discussed. Larg errors were caused by inaccurate measurement of the shape of precipitates. The inclination ofth e specimen (thin foil) surface can also become the origin of large error. In addition, the volume fraction of precipitates tends to be overestimated by the existence of strain fields and/or dislocations around the precipitates.It was concluded that application of the “Slip Trace Method” to b. c. c. alloys was not so easy as to f. c. c. alloys since the determination of a unique slip plane from a pair of slip traces was difficultbecause of multiple slip system.
A New Class of Caulobacter crescentus Flagellar Genes (1998)

ABSTRACT Eight Caulobacter crescentus flagellar genes, flmA , flmB , flmC , flmD , flmE , flmF , flmG , and flmH , have been cloned and characterized. These eight genes are clustered in pairs ( flmAB , flmCD , flmEF , and flmGH ) that appear to be structurally organized as operons. Homology comparisons suggest that the proteins encoded by the flm genes may be involved in posttranslational modification of flagellins or proteins that interact with flagellin monomers prior to their assembly into a flagellar filament. Expression of the flmAB , flmEF , and flmGH operons was shown to occur primarily in predivisional cells. In contrast, the flmCD operon was expressed throughout the cell cycle, with only a twofold increase in predivisional cells. The expression of the three temporally regulated operons was subject to positive regulation by the CtrA response regulator protein. Mutations in class II and III flagellar genes had no significant effect on the expression of the flm genes. Furthermore, the flm genes did not affect the expression of class II or class III flagellar genes. However, mutations in the flm genes did result in reduced synthesis of the class IV flagellin proteins. Taken together, these data indicate that the flm operons belong to a new class of flagellar genes.
Comparison of two treatments for the removal of selected organic micropollutants and bulk organic matter: conventional activated sludge followed by ultrafiltration versus membrane bioreactor (2011)

The potential of membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems to remove organic micropollutants was investigated at different scales, operational conditions, and locations. The effluent quality of the MBR system was compared with that of a plant combining conventional activated sludge (CAS) followed by ultrafiltration (UF). The MBR and CAS-UF systems were operated and tested in parallel. An MBR pilot plant in Israel was operated for over a year at a mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) range of 2.8-10.6 g/L. The MBR achieved removal rates comparable to those of a CAS-UF plant at the Tel-Aviv wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for macrolide antibiotics such as roxythromycin, clarithromycin, and erythromycin and slightly higher removal rates than the CAS-UF for sulfonamides. A laboratory scale MBR unit in Berlin - at an MLSS of 6-9 g/L - showed better removal rates for macrolide antibiotics, trimethoprim, and 5-tolyltriazole compared to the CAS process of the Ruhleben sewage treatment plant (STP) in Berlin when both were fed with identical quality raw wastewater. The Berlin CAS exhibited significantly better benzotriazole removal and slightly better sulfamethoxazole and 4-tolyltriazole removal than its MBR counterpart. Pilot MBR tests (MLSS of 12 g/L) in Aachen, Germany, showed that operating flux significantly affected the resulting membrane fouling rate, but the removal rates of dissolved organic matter and of bisphenol A were not affected.
Further developments in self-fertilising geotextiles for use in pervious pavements (2011)

Geotextiles incorporating inorganic nutrients (particularly phosphorous) to enhance the growth of oil degrading microoganisms when geotextiles are used in pervious pavement applications have been shown to be effective in the past. However the cost and manufacturing difficulties have been a barrier to their use. A polypropylene random mat geotextile incorporating an alternative polymer additive as a source of phosphorus has been investigated as a potential self-fertilising geotextile. Experiments are reported which investigate nutrient leach rates, biofilm formation and biodegradation activity.
