Low-Energy Electron-Induced Damage in Hexadecanethiolate Monolayers (1998)

Low-energy electron-induced damage in hexadecanethiolate (HDT) monolayers on gold substrates has been investigated using infrared reflection−absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), angle-resolved near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS), and advancing water contact angle measurements. HDT films were exposed to electrons of energies 10−100 eV and doses between 30 and 14 000 μC/cm2. The induced damage was monitored both “in situ” by NEXAFS measurements interleaved with electron irradiations and “ex-situ” by NEXAFS, IRAS, and contact angle measurements after exposure of the irradiated samples to air. A progressive film damage was observed with increasing electron energy and dose of irradiation. This damage was found to occur during irradiation in UHV and was not induced by chemical reactions with airborne molecules during subsequent exposure of the irradiated films to air. The damage starts in the region of the terminal methyl groups of the HDT films and propagates into the bulk of the film. An analysis of the IRAS and NEXAFS data shows that the conformational and orientational order within the HDT film are most sensitive to low-energy electron irradiation. Electron-induced cleavage of C−H and C−C bonds resulting in a partial desorption of the film constituents also occurs and leads to formation of CC double bonds in the film as inferred from the appearance of a π*-resonance in the C 1s NEXAFS spectra. The obtained results are of importance for both the optimization of self-assembled-monolayers-based lithography processes and for the general understanding of irradiation-induced changes in organic films.

Bounding the number of points on a curve using a generalization of Weierstrass semigroups (2012)

In this article we use techniques from coding theory to derive upper bounds for the number of rational places of the function field of an algebraic curve defined over a finite field. The used techniques yield upper bounds if the (generalized) Weierstrass semigroup [P. Beelen, N. Tutaş: A generalization of the Weierstrass semigroup, J. Pure Appl. Algebra, 207(2), 2006] for an $n$-tuple of places is known, even if the exact defining equation of the curve is not known. As shown in examples, this sometimes enables one to get an upper bound for the number of rational places for families of function fields. Our results extend results in [O. Geil, R. Matsumoto: Bounding the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational places in algebraic function fields using Weierstrass semigroups. Pure Appl. Algebra, 213(6), 2009].
Wideband reflectarray antenna based on miniaturized element frequency selective surfaces (2012)

A novel design of a printed single layer reflectarray antenna based on grounded metallic loop-wire Miniaturized-Element Frequency Selective Surface (MEFSS) is presented. The proposed sub-wavelength MEFSS unit cell with localized frequency response and minimal dependency to the angle of incidence allows for broadband performance of the reflectarray antenna without any optimization algorithm. The proposed reflectarray antenna with total dimension of 260mm×260mm and F/D=1.02 is fabricated to validate the design method. A maximum gain of 26.3 dBi with 3dB-gain bandwidth of 17% and 3-dB beamwidth of 6° is achieved at x-band.
Identification of differentially expressed genes from spinal cord after firearm injury to rabbit sciatic nerves. (2004)

There is complex gene profile with differential expression after firearm nerve injury, among which AW701496, U84291, W13926, X04017 and AW822394 EST sequences may be important regulation factors that involved in regeneration of peripheral nerve injury.
Oncogene v-jun modulates DNA replication. (1990)

Cell transformation leads to alterations in both transcription and DNA replication. Activation of transcription by the expression of a number of transforming oncogenes is mediated by the transcription factor AP1 (Herrlich & Ponta, 1989; Imler & Wasylyk, 1989). AP1 is a composite transcription factor, consisting of members of the jun and fos gene-families. c-jun and c-fos are progenitors of oncogenes, suggestion that an important transcriptional event in cell transformation is altered activity of AP1, which may arise either indirectly by oncogene expression or directly by structural modification of AP1. We report here that the v-jun oncogene and its progenitor c-jun, as fusion proteins with the lex-A-repressor DNA binding domain, can activate DNA replication from the Polyoma virus (Py) origin of replication, linked to the lex-A operator. The transcription-activation region of v-jun is required for activation of replication. When excess v-jun is expressed in the cell, replication is inhibited or 'squelched'. These results suggest that one consequence of deregulated jun activity could be altered DNA replication and that there are similarities in the way v-jun activates replication and transcription.
Multi-sensor data fusion for land vehicle attitude estimation using a fuzzy expert system (2005)

In Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), the attitude estimated from gyro measurements by the Kalman filter is subject to an unbound error growth during the stand-alone mode, especially for land vehicle applications using low-cost sensors. To improve the attitude estimation of a land vehicle, this paper applies a fuzzy expert system to assist in multi-sensor data fusion from MEMS accelerometers, MEMS gyroscopes and a digital compass based on their complementary motion detection characteristics. Field test results have shown that drift-free and smooth attitude estimation can be achieved and will lead to a significant performance improvement for velocity and position estimation.

This experiment discussed on distribution of cool compressive strength by heating temperature conditions. This experiment obtained the following results. Compressive strength distribution exists peak value due to heating temperature condition. Before and after of peak value for compressive strength is suggested the possibility to influence of softening based on hemi-cellulose.
All-fiber tunable optical delay line (2010)

We present a tunable optical delay line based on the use of a single chirped fiber Bragg grating written into a standard single mode optical fiber. In the proposed scheme, the delay is induced through the Bragg grating differential group delay curve. This is achieved by launching orthogonally polarized optical pulses in both directions into the Bragg grating and by controlling its local birefringence. This bidirectional propagation allows to compensate the second-order dispersion. The setup is suitable to delay pulses with a spectral width just less than the grating reflection bandwidth, which is particularly useful in the context of forthcoming wavelength division multiplexing ultra-high bit rate lightwave systems. In this work, the performances of the setup are investigated using a pulsed laser delivering 6.3 ps Fourier transform limited pulses at 1548 nm. A maximum delay of 120 ps (about 20 times the pulse width) is reported experimentally.
Scalable Platform for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation to Cardiomyocytes in Suspended Microcarrier Cultures (2010)

A scalable platform for human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived cardiomyocyte (CM) production can provide a readily available source of CMs for cell therapy, drug screening, and cardiotoxicity tests. We have designed and optimized a scalable platform using microcarrier cultures in serum-free media supplemented with SB203580 mitogen-activated protein kinase-inhibitor. Different microcarriers (DE-53, Cytodex-1 and 3, FACT, and TOSOH-10) were used to investigate the effects of type, size, shape, and microcarrier concentrations on the differentiation efficiency. hESCs propagated on TOSOH-10 (protamine derivatized 10-μm beads) at the concentration of 0.125 mg/mL produced 80% beating aggregates, threefold cell expansion, and 20% of CMs (determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting for myosin heavy chain and α-actinin expression). The ratio of CM/hESC seeded in this system was 0.62 compared to 0.22 in the embryoid body control cultures. The platform robustness has been tested with HES-3 and H1 cell lines, and its scalability was demonstrated in suspended spinner cultures. However, spinner culture yields dropped to 0.33 CM/hESC probably due to shear stress causing some cell death. Cells dissociated from differentiated aggregates showed positive staining for cardio-specific markers such as α-actinin, myosin heavy and light chain, troponin I, desmin, and emilin-2. Finally, CM functionality was also shown by QT-prolongation (QTempo) assay with/without Astemizole. This study represents a new scalable bioprocessing system for CM production using reagents that can comply with Good Manufacturing Practice.

Indoor and outdoor in-flight odometry based solely on optic flows with oscillatory trajectories (2023)

Estimating distance traveled is a frequently arising problem in robotic applications designed for use in environments where GPS is only intermittently or not at all available. In UAVs, the presence of weight and computational power constraints makes it necessary to develop odometric strategies based on minimilastic equipment. In this study, a hexarotor was made to perform up-and-down oscillatory movements while flying forward in order to test a self-scaled optic flow based odometer. The resulting self-oscillatory trajectory generated series of contractions and expansions in the optic flow vector field, from which the flight height of the hexarotor could be estimated using an Extended Kalman Filter. For the odometry, the downward translational optic flow was scaled by this current visually estimated flight height before being mathematically integrated to obtain the distance traveled. Here we present three strategies based on sensor fusion requiring no, precise or rough prior knowledge of the optic flow variations generated by the sinusoidal trajectory. The “rough prior knowledge” strategy is based on the shape and timing of the variations in the optic flow. Tests were performed first in a flight arena, where the hexarotor followed a circular trajectory while oscillating up and down over a distance of about [Formula: see text] m under illuminances of [Formula: see text] lux and [Formula: see text] lux. Preliminary field tests were then performed, in which the hexarotor followed a longitudinal bouncing [Formula: see text]-long trajectory over an irregular pattern of grass.
Toward a planning scheme for emission guided radiation therapy (EGRT): FDG based tumor tracking in a metastatic breast cancer patient (2013)

As compared to conventional IMRT treatments, the proposed EGRT planning scheme allows an escalated target dose while keeping dose to the OARs within the same planning limits. With the capabilities of incorporating planning modulation and accurate tumor tracking, EGRT has the potential to greatly improve targeting in radiation therapy and enable a practical and effective implementation of 4D radiation therapy for planning and delivery.
X.500 Directory Schema management (2002)

The X.500 Directory Service provides a powerful mechanism for storing and retrieving information about objects in a distributed computing environment. This requires the functional components of the Directory Service to have knowledge of the structure and representation, or schema, of the information held within the directory. The management of the Directory Schema is a subject requiring further research and development. We identify the three major technical elements required for properly managing the Directory Schema. We then focus on one of these elements; propagation of the schema between functional components of the Directory Service. Three subproblems from within schema propagation are presented, along with several alternative solutions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Neuropathy under chemotherapy. (2000)

Neuropathy is a dose-limiting side effect for a number of effective chemotherapeutic agents. A better understanding of effective mechanisms will lead to novel treatment strategies that will protect neurons without decreasing therapeutic efficacy. The assessment of the efficacy and neurotoxicity of various chemotherapeutic agents is vital, for a determination of the maximum allowable dose. The introduction of chemotherapy in the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century has resulted in the development of curative therapeutic interventions for patients with several types of solid tumours and hemopoietic neoplasms. The important obstacles encountered in the use of chemotherapy have been the toxicity to the normal tissue. During the past 8 years there has come about a new level of understanding of the mechanisms through which chemotherapeutic agents work. This has opened the door to new paradigms of treatment in which molecular, genetic, and biologic therapy can be used together to increase the sensitivity of abnormal cells to treatment, and to protect the normal tissues of the body from therapy-induced side effects. The implementation of new strategies could change the way therapy is delivered over the next few years and improve the outcome especially in patients with neoplasms that are currently resistant to conventional dose therapy.
Clinical, neuropathological and immunohistochemical features of sporadic and variant forms of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) (2007)

The squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) has been shown to be nearly as susceptible as the chimpanzee to experimentally induced Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), and has been used extensively in diagnostic and pathogenetic studies. However, no information is available concerning the clinicopathological characteristics of different strains of human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in this species, in particular, strains of sporadic and variant CJD (sCJD and vCJD, respectively). Brain homogenates from patients with sCJD or vCJD were inoculated intracerebrally at dilutions of 10(-1) or 10(-3) into the left frontal cortex of squirrel monkeys. Animals were kept under continuous clinical surveillance during the preclinical and clinical phases of disease, and regularly underwent standardized behavioural testing. Brains from three animals in the sCJD and vCJD groups were examined histopathologically and immunohistochemically for the presence of pathognomonic misfolded protein (PrP(TSE)). Overall, incubation periods and durations of illness were slightly shorter in monkeys infected with sCJD than in those infected with vCJD, but the earliest signs of illness (ataxia and tremors) were the same in both groups. Clinical disease in the sCJD monkeys was somewhat more severe and of shorter duration. Post-mortem examinations revealed distinctive patterns of spongiform change and PrP(TSE) distribution in the brains of sCJD and vCJD animals, similar to those seen in humans except that amyloid plaques were not present. PrP(TSE) was uniformly absent from peripheral lymphoid tissues in both groups of animals. Human strains of sCJD and vCJD cause distinguishable clinicopathological features in the squirrel monkey that can provide a baseline for the evaluation of future therapeutic studies.
Geometric Texture Modeling (2005)

Texture mapping has become an essential tool in any synthetic rendering scheme that aims at photorealism. Texture mapping typically associates any point on the surface of the rendered object with a location in the texture space. The surface point is then assigned rendering attributes, such as color or translucency from the respective location found in the texture space. Texture mapping techniques have also been used in attempts to emulate highly detailed geometry on the surfaces of objects. The proposed surface detail synthesis approach closes the loop from modeling to rendering using computer graphics texture mapping techniques, bringing them back into the geometric modeling phase. This article focuses primarily on texturing techniques that relate to shape modeling and surface geometry alteration.
Simulation as a Support for Ultrasonic Testing (2014)

Ultrasonic testing is a very important non-destructive method for testing components for safety of nuclear power plants and other security and delicate parts in other industries. Nowadays, thanks to the development of computer technology, it is possible to simulate processes which occur during ultrasonic testing. That is why numerical simulations are becoming an integral part of non-destructive testing. Simulations are used to determine parameters of ultrasonic examination, especially parameters of probes and scan plan and also in the analysis of results. They are used in such cases, when it is necessary to verify applicability of probes and methods. This verification could be provided on the weld and test block which are not manufactured. It could be also provided on defects, which are not manufactured in test block, but their presence is possible in given weld joint. Simulations are very useful for verifying the propagation of ultrasonic signal in given area (e.g. weld area). If movement of probe is limited, possibility of whole volume scan should be verified.

Isolation and Purification of Antibacterial Peptides from Mussel (2012)

[Objective] This study aimed to extract antibacterial peptides from mussel. [Method] Blue mussels were used as raw materials for direct extraction of antibacterial peptides by using 0.5% acetic acid, and the antibacterial peptides were isolated and purified by Sephacryl S-100 polyacrylamide gel chromatography. The fractions were collected for measurement of antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration for a variety of bacterial species by filter paper diffusion assay. Molecular weight of the antibacterial peptides was determined by SDS-PAGE. Variation of antibacterial activity of antibacterial peptides was measured at 100 ℃ under conditions of different processing time and different pH. [Result] The 0.5% acetic acid was used for crude extraction of antibacterial peptides as extraction solution and led to relatively high extraction efficiency. By using Sephacryl S-100, the antibacterial peptides could be purified as a single substance. The isolated and purified antibacterial peptides of mussel had relatively strong antibacterial properties with molecular weight of 5 908, showing heat-resistance acid-alkaline resistance. [Conclusion] This study laid the theoretical foundation for large-scale production of antibacterial peptides.
