Area Selective Molecular Layer Deposition of Polyurea Films (2013)

Patterned organic thin films with submicrometer features are of great importance in applications such as nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. We present here a new approach for creating patterned organic films using area selective molecular layer deposition (MLD). MLD is a technique that allows for conformal deposition of nanoscale organic thin films with exceptional control over vertical thickness and composition. By expanding the technique to allow for area selective MLD, lateral patterning of the film can be achieved. In this work, polyurea thin films were deposited by alternating pulses of 1,4-phenylenediisocyanate (PDIC) and ethylenediamine (ED) in a layer-by-layer fashion with a linear growth rate of 5.3 Å/cycle. Studies were carried out to determine whether self-assembled monolayer (SAM) formed from octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS) could block MLD on silicon substrates. Results show that the MLD process is impeded by the SAM. To test lateral patterning in MLD, SAMs were patterned onto silicon substrates using two different approaches. In one approach, SiO2-coated Si(100) substrates were patterned with an ODTS SAM by soft lithography in a well-controlled environment. In the second approach, patterned ODTS SAM was formed on H-Si/SiO2 patterned wafers by employing the chemically selective adsorption of ODTS on SiO2 over H-Si. Auger electron spectroscopy results revealed that the polyurea film is deposited predominantly on the ODTS-free regions of both patterned substrates, indicating sufficient blocking of MLD by the ODTS SAM layer to replicate the pattern. The method we describe here offers a novel approach for fabricating high quality, three-dimensional organic structures.
Organization of rhodopsin in photoreceptor membranes. 2. Transmembrane organization of bovine rhodopsin: evidence from proteolysis and lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of native and reconstituted membranes (1978)

Proteolysis of reconstituted membranes with papain and thermolysin reveals the existence of two rhodopsin populations: one susceptible to proteolysis and the other protected. The susceptible population corresponds to rhodopsin molecules with the same orientation as rhodopsin in the native membrane, while the protected population corresponds to "inverted" rhodopsin molecules only found in reconstituted membranes. Using an iodination enhancement probe, we demonstrate that lactoperoxidase catalyzes iodination of rhodopsin exclusively on the external surface of these sealed reconstituted vesicles. Furthermore, we find that both rhodopsin populations in reconstituted membranes (normal and inverted) are readily iodinated by lactoperoxidase, providing definitive evidence that the rhodopsin polypeptide spans the membrane thickness. Additional conclusions from these experiments are discussed in terms of a model for the folding of the rhodopsin polypeptide in the membrane.

NUMERICAL MODEL OF BREAKING WAVE AROUND A RIVER MOUTH (1986)

Equations for wave kinematics and wave dynamics based on small amplitude wave theory have been used in the prediction of wave deformations and wave-indused currents. However, the applicability of the linear wave theory is questionable in a river mouth where forced wave breaking and strong wave-current interaction take place. A numerical model based on the non-linear dispersive wave theory has been developed, the results by this model was compared with the values of the experiments and the linear theory. Wave transformations including shoaling, wave-current interaction and wave breaking by the model showed a good agreement with the experimental result. In the prediction of wave-induced currents, the excess momentum flux (Pxx) computed by the model has more reasonable value than the radiation stress ( Sxx) calculated by the small amplitude wave theory.
Solution Synthesized p-Type Copper Gallium Oxide Nanoplates as Hole Transport Layer for Organic Photovoltaic Devices (2015)

p-Type metal-oxide hole transport layer (HTL) suppresses recombination at the anode and hence improves the organic photovoltaic (OPV) device performance. While NiOx has been shown to exhibit good HTL performance, very thin films (<10 nm) are needed due to its poor conductivity and high absorption. To overcome these limitations, we utilize CuGaO2, a p-type transparent conducting oxide, as HTL for OPV devices. Pure delafossite phase CuGaO2 nanoplates are synthesized via microwave-assisted hydrothermal reaction in a significantly shorter reaction time compared to via conventional heating. A thick CuGaO2 HTL (∼280 nm) in poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) devices achieves 3.2% power conversion efficiency, on par with devices made with standard HTL materials. Such a thick CuGaO2 HTL is more compatible with large-area and high-volume printing process.

We compute the integral Chow rings of the stacks ${\mathcal H}_{g,n}^w$ parametrizing hyperelliptic curves with $n$ marked Weierstrass points. We prove that the integral Chow rings of each of these stacks is generated as an algebra by any of the $Ψ$-classes and that all relations live in degree one.

Hardware-Efficient Bilateral Filtering for Stereo Matching (2013)

This paper presents a new bilateral filtering method specially designed for practical stereo vision systems. Parallel algorithms are preferred in these systems due to the real-time performance requirement. Edge-preserving filters like the bilateral filter have been demonstrated to be very effective for high-quality local stereo matching. A hardware-efficient bilateral filter is thus proposed in this paper. When moved to an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 GPU, it can process a one megapixel color image at around 417 frames per second. This filter can be directly used for cost aggregation required in any local stereo matching algorithm. Quantitative evaluation shows that it outperforms all the other local stereo methods both in terms of accuracy and speed on Middlebury benchmark. It ranks 12th out of over 120 methods on Middlebury data sets, and the average runtime (including the matching cost computation, occlusion handling, and post processing) is only 15 milliseconds (67 frames per second).

Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3) regulates expression of <i>Hsp</i> gene in high-metastatic cell line of colon cancer (2018)

The control of cancer metastasis is crucial in prognosis for cancer. Members of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family have been known to promote cancer cell transformation, migration, invasion, and metastasis through alteration of tumor microenvironment, intracellular signaling pathways and genome status. Recently, the non-proteolytic PEX domain of MMP3 has been shown to activate Heat shock protein (Hsp) genes. HSP family has been implicated in tumorigenesis in histological investigations of human breast cancer. Therefore, to elucidate the mechanism of cancer metastasis and investigate the relation between MMPs and HSPs, we provided comprehensive analysis of gene expression using microarray in high- and low-metastatic sublines (LuM1 and NM11, respectively) derived from a murine colon adenocarcinoma cell line, parental colon26. Among the 62,976 genes tested, we found 104 genes involved cancer cell invasion, EMT, and metastasis in LuM1 cells. Among the 104 metastasis-related genes expressed specifically, two members of Mmp gene family, Mmp3 and Mmp9, and Hsp gene family, Hspa2 and Hspb1 were highly expressed in LuM1 cells compared to NM11 cells. The knockdown of MMP3 attenuated cell viability, migration, and invasion in vitro and lung metastasis potential in vivo. Immunohistochemical analysis of MMP3 showed localization to nuclei and the nuclear margins in LuM1 cells. Furthermore, Hspa2 gene expression was downregulated by siRNA knockdown of MMP3. These results suggest that MMP3 involves cancer progression and metastasis through promoting Hspa2 gene expression in LuM1 cell.
Introducing the Four-Phase Model of Hostage Negotiation (2009)

The following article introduces a model of the communication process as it occurs in a hostage negotiation. Unlike previous negotiation models, this model focuses on the communication of the negotiator rather than focusing on the communication or psychological state of the hostage taker. The model provides a framework of successful negotiation by analyzing and specifying the structure of previously successful negotiations. The resulting model consists of four phases, which are called Establishing Initial Dialogue, Building Rapport, Influencing, and Surrender. Theoretical basis and comparison to other existing negotiation models are discussed.
Smart Transformer-based Frequency Support in Variable Inertia Conditions (2019)

Power electronics-based sources, such as photo-voltaic or wind power plants, have been increasingly connected to the power system, changing the share of power production with respect to synchronous generators. These sources do not offer any rotational inertia and thus do not contribute to sustain the system frequency during energy imbalances. As consequence, larger frequency variations are more likely to occur. In this paper, a Smart Transformer (ST) based real time frequency regulation (RTFR) strategy has been proposed. The ST, a power electronics-based transformer, can shape the LV grid load consumption, identifying the load sensitivity to voltage by means of On-Line Load sensitivity Identification (OLLI) algorithm and then adapting the LV grid voltage to achieve the desired power variation to support the power system frequency. The proposed method is analyzed in a wide range of inertia conditions to highlight the benefit of ST-based RTFR in low inertia condition.
The human operator transfer function: Identification of the limb mechanics subsystem (1991)

The objective of our research is to decompose the performance of the human operator in terms of the subsystems that determine the operator's responses in order to establish how the dynamics of these component subsystems influence the operator's performance. In the present experiment, the dynamic stiffness of the human elbow joint was measured at rest and under different levels of biceps muscle activation; this work forms part of the analysis of the limb mechanics subsystem.
13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies of anaerobic glycolysis in suspensions of yeast cells. (1979)

Anaerobic glycolysis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied by 13C NMR at 90.5 MHz. [1-13c]Glucose and [6-13C]glucose were fed to suspensions of yeast cells. Time courses for concentration changes of the starting material, of courses for concentration changes of the starting material, of the intermediate fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-P2), and of the end products, ethanol and glycerol, have been followed with 1-min time resolution. The glucose uptake was well fitted by a Michaelis-Menten model, assuming competition of alpha- and beta-glucose for the same site. The Km for the uptake was found to be 10 mM for beta-glucose and 5 mM for alpha-glucose. The concentration of Fru-P2 showed an initial oscillation before it reached a co,stant level. The 13C label, introduced only as [-13C]- or [6-13C]glucose, was observed in Fru-P2 in both the C1 and C6 positions, simultaneously. From the relative intensities of the C1 Fru-P2 and C6 Fru-P2 peaks in the presence of [1-13C]- and [6-13C]glucose, in vivo kinetic information was obtained about the aldolase-triosephosphate isomerase triangle. We found that under the conditions of these experiments the ratios of backward to forward velocities through aldolase and triosephosphate isomerase were 0.9 +/- 0.1 and 0.8 +/- 1, respectively, indicating they were close to equilibrium.
Automating Data Analysis Processes: Configuring, Monitoring and Replacing (2006)

Modern data analysis in an industrial setting is not only concerned with the right choice of an analysis model, but to maybe even greater extent with integrating a model into an operational system and adapting it to a changing business environment. All of these steps are nowadays still being done manually by different experts. In this paper, we discuss approaches to automate these steps. We show a way to build an analysis model based on user preferences and introduce consistent concepts for the other steps. Due to the inherent fuzziness of the area, fuzzy systems turn out to be a natural choice for the underlying mechanisms
Uncertainty Assessment of PV Power Measurement in Industrial Environments (2011)

This work is a practical approach towards the establishment of a common ground among the different stakeholders in the PV field, regarding the PV measurement uncertainty. The main uncertainty sources are identified and the uncertainty components are carefully evaluated to provide a method for the measurement uncertainty estimation. The uncertainties related to the reference modules, the temperature and the optical properties of the solar simulators are the main contributors to the overall value of uncertainty. The importance of the spectral mismatch factor and its related uncertainty are also discussed.
Antibody cross-reactivity between casein and myelin-associated glycoprotein results in central nervous system demyelination (2022)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with a high socioeconomic relevance. The pathophysiology of MS, which is both complex and incompletely understood, is believed to be influenced by various environmental determinants, including diet. Since the 1990s, a correlation between the consumption of bovine milk products and MS prevalence has been debated. Here, we show that C57BL/6 mice immunized with bovine casein developed severe spinal cord pathology, in particular, demyelination, which was associated with the deposition of immunoglobulin G. Furthermore, we observed binding of serum from casein-immunized mice to mouse oligodendrocytes in CNS tissue sections and in culture where casein-specific antibodies induced complement-dependent pathology. We subsequently identified myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) as a cross-reactive antigenic target. The results obtained from the mouse model were complemented by clinical data showing that serum samples from patients with MS contained significantly higher B cell and antibody reactivity to bovine casein than those from patients with other neurologic diseases. This reactivity correlated with the B cell response to a mixture of CNS antigens and could again be attributed to MAG reactivity. While we acknowledge disease heterogeneity among individuals with MS, we believe that consumption of cow’s milk in a subset of patients with MS who have experienced a previous loss of tolerance to bovine casein may aggravate the disease. Our data suggest that patients with antibodies to bovine casein might benefit from restricting dairy products from their diet.

Development of Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase as an Efficient Selection Marker forAgrobacterium tumefaciens-Mediated Transformation of Maize (2003)

In this article, we report the isolation of plant protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) genes and the isolation of herbicide-tolerant mutants. Subsequently, an Arabidopsis double mutant (Y426M + S305L) was used to develop a selectable marker system for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of maize (Zea mays) and to obtain multiple events tolerant to the PPO family of herbicides. Maize transformants were produced via butafenacil selection using a flexible light regime to increase selection pressure. Butafenacil selection per se did not change transgene copy number distribution relative to other selectable marker systems, but the most tolerant events identified in the greenhouse were more likely to contain multiple copies of the introduced mutant PPO gene. To date, more than 2,500 independent transgenic maize events have been produced using butafenacil selection. The high frequency of A. tumefaciens-mediated transformation via PPO selection enabled us to obtain single-copy transgenic maize lines tolerant to field levels of butafenacil.

Lactoferrin, a member of the transferrin family of proteins is an iron binding glycoprotein (Mr -80 000 daltons), present in maa~alian milks, mucous secretions and white blood cells. Because of its ability to bind iron tightly, (K -lo 2 0) lactoferrin exerts a bacteriostatic effect in vitro by depriving micro-qrganisms of essential iron-cBullen,
Constrained total least squares based extraction of acoustic resonances of elastic targets (1991)

The constrained total least squares (CTLS) method technique is applied to the late time response of the backscattered impulse response function of a large aspect ratio cylinder to estimate the scattering resonances. In the absence of noise, this technique successfully extracted two well-defined sets of poles which could be identified as being associated with the first elastic mode of the cylinder and with an effective Franz mode. In the presence of noise, the elastic poles are perturbed only slightly from their correct values and the technique appears to be fairly robust. The Franz pole positions are somewhat more profoundly affected, but these are of secondary importance in the inverse scattering problem. It is noted that the CTLS is an optimal parameter estimation technique in the presence of Gaussian noise. It is concluded that the CTLS is a robust pole extraction technique that has the potential to lead to improved target classification schemes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

The PRINTS database: A resource for identification of protein families (2002)

The PRINTS database houses a collection of protein fingerprints, which may be used to assign family and functional attributes to uncharacterised sequences, such as those currently emanating from the various genome-sequencing projects. The April 2002 release includes 1,700 family fingerprints, encoding approximately 10,500 motifs, covering a range of globular and membrane proteins, modular polypeptides and so on. Fingerprints are groups of conserved motifs that, taken together, provide diagnostic protein family signatures. They derive much of their potency from the biological context afforded by matching motif neighbours; this makes them at once more flexible and powerful than single-motif approaches. The technique further departs from other pattern-matching methods by readily allowing the creation of fingerprints at superfamily-, family- and subfamily-specific levels, thereby allowing more fine-grained diagnoses. Here, we provide an overview of the method of protein fingerprinting and how the results of fingerprint analyses are used to build PRINTS and its relational cousin, PRINTS-S.
