SCAMSTOP - D4.1 Testing, integration and usage results (2011)

We present in this deliverable more details about the implementation of the SCAMSTOP framework as well as its performance testing results. Altogether, different modules and detection techniques have been implemented and tested under laboratory conditions. The detection modules work well under laboratory conditions and cause only a marginal processing overhead. Tests have also been performed to ensure that all modules can work cooperatively in one setup. Finally we have begun to deploy the modules in testing networks of two VoIP providers and some feedback were already inserted in this document.
The Next Million Names for Archaea and Bacteria (2020)

Latin binomials, popularised in the 18th century by the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus, have stood the test of time in providing a stable, clear, and memorable system of nomenclature across biology. However, relentless and ever-deeper exploration and analysis of the microbial world has created an urgent need for huge numbers of new names for Archaea and Bacteria. Manual creation of such names remains difficult and slow and typically relies on expert-driven nomenclatural quality control. Keen to ensure that the legacy of Linnaeus lives on in the age of microbial genomics and metagenomics, we propose an automated approach, employing combinatorial concatenation of roots from Latin and Greek to create linguistically correct names for genera and species that can be used off the shelf as needed. As proof of principle, we document over a million new names for Bacteria and Archaea. We are confident that our approach provides a road map for how to create new names for decades to come.
Endoscopic Sphenopalatine Artery Ligation is an Effective Method of Treatment for Posterior Epistaxis (1999)

Transantral ligation of the internal maxillary artery is the most widely used surgical technique for control of intractable epistaxis. Although this technique is highly efficacious, significant complications may occur, including oroantral fistula, damage to the infraorbital nerve, and recurrent bleeding. An endoscopic transnasal approach for ligation of the terminal branch of the internal maxillary artery, the sphenopalatine artery, provides an alternative to transantral ligation. We have used endoscopic ligation of the sphenopalatine artery to treat 38 patients requiring surgical therapy for epistaxis. These cases were retrospectively reviewed to analyze the efficacy and morbidity of our technique. Five patients (13%) had significant recurrence of their epistaxis, of whom two required further surgical intervention. There were no major complications in this series. There were some minor sequelae including nasal crusting (34%) and paresthesia of the palate and nose (13%). The median hospital stay was 3 days (range 1 to 10). Endoscopic transnasal sphenopalatine artery ligation seems to be a safe and effective technique for management of posterior epistaxis.

Next Generation Relative Permeability Modifier Application in Acid Stimulation Treatments: An Effective Water Management Strategy for Mature Fields in Ecuador (2014)

Abstract The paper combines a brief case history of applications with supporting laboratory data, for using a new relative permeability modifier (RPM) in conjunction with a conventional acid stimulation treatment. This design was targeted at mature oil wells with high water cuts in Ecuador. The recommendation was proposed after mineralogical characterization of core samples, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) followed by laboratory core flooding with treatment fluids. The methodology described in the paper comprises stimulation of certain areas of the sandstone formation with an acid followed by a RPM treatment to prevent the water from the stimulated water-bearing zones from entering the wellbore. Coiled tubing is used for effective placement of the treatment. Conventional stimulation treatments in the Hollin sandstone formation in Ecuador result in high water cuts because of encroaching water from an active aquifer. The acidizing technique with RPM improved the economic life of many mature wells in the field. Both laboratory and field data indicate excellent results from the treatments. The overall water cut in the treated wells decreased (by 8 to 15%), while oil production increased (~200%). Coiled tubing enables accurate placement of the acid and RPM into the desired zones, with the benefits from this targeted treatment far outweighing the cost of using coiled tubing units. Successful implementation of the laboratory core flood results in the field resulted in field-wide protocols aimed at oil wells producing water at unacceptable rates. The optimized stimulation treatment increases oil production and selective placement of RPM using coiled tubing decreased water cut, thereby prolonging the economic viability of mature wells.
Power supplies for communities close to a HVDC transmission line (2007)

The energy consumption in the world is growing, and distant energy resources are needed. The use of renewable resources such as hydropower, wind and sun is normally not possible without the use of electric transmission, since these resources, at least new ones, are often located far away. In many cases, there is a need to transfer bulk high voltage power through areas and countries with comparatively little consumption, and it is not obvious how to supply power to customers along the transmission route, especially when HVDC is used. This paper describes the state of the art of bulk power transfer, and how supplies can be arranged for those living along the line.
Endogenous Bacteria of Tuber aestivum Ascocarps are Potential Biocontrol Agents of Microbial Post-harvest Deterioration of Truffles (2015)

Most previous investigations of microbial interactions with truffle have been conducted within the soil environment and have not considered effects on post-harvested truffles. After harvest, truffles spoil easily and quickly within 4 days.nbsp This study evaluated the efficacy of bacteria isolated from fresh Tuber aestivum fruits ascocarps as biocontrol agents against the bacteria and fungi responsible for spoiling truffle fruit. Effects of acetic acid (12 %-v/v) and citric acid (10%-w/v) as inhibitors of isolated spoilage bacteria were also tested. An antagonism test between microbes extracted from unspoiled truffle microorganisms was performed against microbes responsible for spoilage of truffle fruits. Spoilage bacteria were identified.nbspTruffle fruits immersed in a supernatant from antagonistic bacteria culture medium contributed to non-spoilage and resulting in storage of fruit at room temperature for more than two weeks without spoilage development. In addition, acetic acid (12 %-v/v) inhibited all tested spoilage bacteria. However citric acid (10%-w/v) had no inhibitory effect on spoilage bacteria.nbspThe results showed a high rate of antifungal activity among the bacterial isolates, indicating that truffle may be a common source for selection of microorganisms with important biotechnological potential, and may be useful for further biocontrol of food, plant, and soil-borne pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
Implementation and Performance of WS-Security (2004)

This article describes performance improvements for the Web Services Security (WS-Security) specification. In the course of its development and performance measurement, we identified bottlenecks in the XML parsing and public key operations such as RSA signature and encryption. We are working on minimizing the impact of both of these bottlenecks. We implemented a stream-based WS-Security processor and showed its efficiency in XML parsing, in terms of both the processing time and the memory usage. In addition, we introduced the Web Services Secure Conversation (WS-SecureConversation) to avoid expensive public key operations.
Kava: a Java dialect with a uniform object model for lightweight classes (2003)

Abstract Object‐oriented programming languages have always distinguished between ‘primitive’ and ‘user‐defined’ data types, and in the case of languages like C++ and Java the primitives are not even treated as objects, further fragmenting the programming model. The distinction is especially problematic when a particular programming community requires primitive‐level support for a new data type, as for complex, intervals, fixed‐point numbers, and so on. We present Kava, a design for a backward‐compatible version of Java that solves the problem of programmable lightweight objects in a much more aggressive and uniform manner than previous proposals. In Kava, there are no primitive types; instead, object‐oriented programming is provided down to the level of single bits, and types such as int can be explicitly programmed within the language. While the language maintains a uniform object reference semantics, efficiency is obtained by making heavy use of unboxing and semantic expansion . We describe Kava as a dialect of the Java language, show how it can be used to define various primitive types, describe how it can be translated into Java, and compare it to other approaches to lightweight objects.

MyD88 in DNA Repair and Cancer Cell Resistance to Genotoxic Drugs (2013)

Collectively, these results indicate a novel and original link between inflammation, DNA repair, and cancer, and provide further rationale for MyD88 as a potential therapeutic target in Ras-dependent cancers, in the context of concomitant genotoxic chemotherapy.
High-repetition-rate femtosecond optical parametric oscillator–amplifier system near 3 μm (1995)

An ultrafast laser system for the chemically important 3-μm spectral region has been constructed by means of noncritically phased-matched KTiOPO4 optical parametric gain elements. An optical parametric oscillator, synchronously pumped by a mode-locked Ti:sapphire oscillator, generates high-quality seed pulses for an optical parametric amplifier. The optical parametric amplifier, pumped by a high-repetition-rate Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier, amplifies the seed pulses by a factor of 520. Pulses with an energy of 550 nJ and a pulse width of 160 fs are produced at a 250-kHz repetition rate in the 3-μm region.
Fabrication of Hierarchical Structures by Wetting Porous Templates with Polymer Microspheres (2009)

We present a simple route to prepare hierarchical structures by allowing the partial diffusion of polymer microspheres into the nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Polystyrene (PS) microspheres were first spread onto a silicon substrate and allowed to self-assemble into well-ordered monolayers of the microspheres. Upon heating above the glass-transition temperature, diffusion of the PS into the pores of the AAO occurred only at pores of the microspheres in contact with the membrane. After the removal of the AAO membrane, ordered arrays of microspheres capped with nanorods were produced, yielding surfaces with topographies spanning multiple length scales. Control over the nanoscopic and microscopic length scales can be trivially achieved by changing the size of the microspheres and the diameter of the pores in the membranes.
Three-component, one-pot sequential synthesis of glyco-hydantoin conjugates (2011)

The development of new methods for linking sugars to heterocycles and peptides is an attractive area of research because glyco-conjugates play important roles in biology and medicine and are indispensable tools for probing several processes. Herein we report a one-pot, three-component sequential procedure for the synthesis of a novel class of glyco-conjugates, i.e. glyco-hydantoin conjugates, in high yields and very mild conditions, using readily accessible starting materials. We also demonstrated that some of the glyco-hydantoin conjugates obtained are synthons for the preparation of a novel class of glyco-pseudopeptides in which the amino acid is tethered to the sugar through the hydantoin ring.

Infectivity, effects on helper viruses and whitefly transmission of the deltasatellites associated with sweepoviruses (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) (2016)

Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae) are whitefly-transmitted viruses with single-stranded DNA genomes that are frequently associated with DNA satellites. These satellites include non-coding satellites, for which the name deltasatellites has been proposed. Although the first deltasatellite was identified in the late 1990s, little is known about the effects they have on infections of their helper begomoviruses. Recently a group of deltasatellites were identified associated with sweepoviruses, a group of phylogenetically distinct begomoviruses that infect plants of the family Convolvulaceae including sweet potato. In this work, the deltasatellites associated with sweepoviruses are shown to be transreplicated and maintained in plants by the virus with which they were identified, sweet potato leaf curl virus (SPLCV). These deltasatellites were shown generally to reduce symptom severity of the virus infection by reducing virus DNA levels. Additionally they were shown to be maintained in plants, and reduce the symptoms induced by two Old World monopartite begomoviruses, tomato yellow leaf curl virus and tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus. Finally one of the satellites was shown to be transmitted plant-to-plant in the presence of SPLCV by the whitefly vector of the virus, Bemisia tabaci, being the first time a deltasatellite has been shown to be insect transmitted.
Dependence of the hormonal stimulation of adenylate cyclase on the fraction of the plasma membrane accessible for lateral displacement of proteins of the adenylate cyclase complex (1986)

Hormonal activation of the adenylate cyclase complex is associated with lateral displacement in the membrane of the proteins that constitute this complex. In this work an experimental investigation was made of the changes in the interaction of the proteins of the adenylate cyclase complex with the changing fraction of fluid lipids in the cell membrane. A decrease in the fraction of fluid lipids of rat reticulocyte membranes led to a decrease (all the way down to a total suppression) of the interaction of the ..beta..-adrenoreceptors with the regulatory N-proteins. The interaction of the N-proteins with the catalytic proteins was also suppressed. On the other hand, an increase in the fraction of fluid lipids led to more effective interaction. It was shown that in this case the functional intactness of the interacting proteins is unimpaired. An analysis of the results obtained, performed on the basis of the percolation theory, suggests the conclusion that the hormonal stimulation of adenylate cyclase depends on the fraction of fluid lipids in the membrane, and the proteins are displaced during interaction over distances comparable with the size of the membrane itself. It was also shown that characteristic activity of the ..beta..-agonist 1-isoproterenol varies from 1.0 tomore » 0, depending on the fraction of fluid lipids in the membrane. The data obtained suggest that in the absence of guanylic nucleotides in the membrane in vitro there are no preexisting complexes with a high affinity for the agonist.« less
Airborne Maritime Surveillance Using Magnetic Anomaly Detection Signature (2020)

For an airborne sensor, there is a pressing need to be able to detect/track submerged submarines, shipwrecks, sea mines, unexploded explosive ordnance, and buried drums during maritime surveillance. Traditional usage is the magnetic anomaly detection (MAD), where the small changes in the earth's magnetic field caused by the ferrous components of the targets are measured. The primary means of long-range detection and classification of targets are with passive and active acoustic sensors, and MAD is used for accurate final localization. MAD could also be used for land-based targets but this is not common. Knowing the relationship between the magnetic signature and the kinematic parameters, the tracking problem can be formulated under a Bayesian framework. In this article, multiple nonlinear filters are used for a real single surface-target tracking problem in maritime surveillance using an airborne total-field sensor. The posterior Cramér-Rao lower bound for MAD is derived. Given the total-field measurements, these filters can estimate the kinematic states as well as the permanent moments and induced moments effectively. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear filters as well as the impact of using MAD as part of airborne surveillance.
Mass and Isotope‐Selective Infrared Spectroscopy (2011)

Abstract Recent advances in laser spectroscopic techniques make it possible to obtain mass‐ and isotope‐selective infrared spectra of gas‐phase species at high resolution and reduced hot‐band spectral congestion. In these techniques, infrared excitation is coupled with ultraviolet multiphoton ionization and detection of the resulting ions in a mass spectrometer, which allows the separation of contributions of different isotopomers and, more generally, species of different mass in a mixture. In combination with jet cooling techniques, spectra are obtained for very cold molecules. These spectra can then be analyzed to extract information on dynamical processes such as intramolecular vibrational redistribution or tunneling and rearrangement processes, and on how intramolecular dynamics is influenced by vibrational excitation and isotope effects. In this review, we introduce isotope‐selective infrared spectroscopic techniques and present some selected applications on isotope effects and intramolecular dynamics of vibrationally excited chloroform, aniline, and benzene obtained by isotope‐selective infrared spectroscopy.
Coastal Application of Sea Surface Height Measurement Using Direct Broadcast Satellite Signals (2018)

This paper presents results from a proof-of-concept experiment conducted at Platform Harvest to measure Sea Surface Height (SSH) using Ku- and K-band `Signals of Opportunity' (SoOp) from DirecTV Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system. The retrieved SSH was compared with the SSH measurement from a tide gauge located at the platform; the error in retrieval of Ku-band and K-band was found to be 2.78 cm and 2.58 cm, respectively. This matched the model for error with some differences that can be attributed to the difference in spatial and temporal characteristics of the SoOp and tide gauge measurements. Finally, this paper gives an overview of temporal and spatial sampling possible from a constellation of receivers observing Ku-band SoOp to resolve mesoscale eddies in coastal regions.
Air Entrainment and Bubble Behavior in Plunge Pools (1994)

This study analyzes air entrainment by falling nappes and bubble behavior in plunge pools, using an experimental-analytical-numerical method. The experimental work was done at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Engineering Laboratory. An air-water concentration probe (originally proposed by Lamb and Killen, 1950) constructed by TVA was calibrated and used to determine contours of air concentration in the plunge pool of an overflow nappe. High-speed photography was used to determine representative bubble sizes. The air entrainment was computed analytically by integrating the momentum and continuity equations over the air boundary layer of the nappe. A finite difference, fluid flow solver was used to compute a representative water flow field in the plunge pool. Using that water flow field, the trajectory and residence time of bubbles in the plunge pool were computed by solving the two-dimensional Lagrangian equations of motion. The analytical results show good agreement with experimental data collected by the author and other findings documented in the literature.
Heterogeneous optoelectronic integration using locally polymerized imprinted hard mask (2013)

This paper presents a novel technique for the integration of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chip with a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC). This proposed technique is demonstrated by integrating a PIC comprising of 2X2 optical switches and a CMOS header processor, implemented in the IBM 130nm CMOS technology. The processor configures the switch fabric on the PIC allowing for the design of ultra-fast low-power optical packet switching. An innovative CMOS chip based imprinted hard mask technique, utilizing a heat curable Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), allows for accurate microfabrication of wafer-scale sockets. The fabricated sockets in the PIC are at-most 9 <i>&mu;m</i> larger than the chip on all sides. Accurate alignment between chips is achieved by using bottom side contact lithography printer to pattern alignment marks on the backside of the chip, making the process insensitive to chip size variations. Independent temperature control of the arm and the stage in the flip-chip bonder enables localized polymerization of PDMS to form imprinted hard mask for integration of PIC with more than one CMOS chip, enabling seamless multichip integration. The horizontal gap and the vertical displacement between the chip and the PIC were 7 and 0.5 um respectively. Electrical connections between the CMOS chip and the PIC were patterned and tested both electrically and optically. These measurements show that the functionality of the PIC and the CMOS chip were not affected by the integration process.
