6-Hydroxyflavones and Other Flavonoids of Crocus (1984)

Abstract 6-Hydroxyflavones have been identified for the first time in the Iridaceae, in leaves of three Crocus species. Three new glycosides have been characterised: 6 -hydroxyluteolin 7- rhamnosylglucoside, scutellarein 7-glucoside and scutellarein 7-methyl ether 6 -glucoside, as well as two known glycosides: 6 -hydroxyluteolin 7-glucoside and 6 -hydroxyluteolin 7-methyl ether 6 - glucoside. 6 -Hydroxyluteolin and scutellarein glycosides have been found before in Bromeliaceae. Commelinaceae, Cyperaceae and Orchidaceae, but this is the first record of the respective 7-methylethers in the Monocotyledoneae. Acacetin and tricin have been identified as aglycones in C. laevigatus an d C. heuffelianus leaves, respectively and the occurrence of mangiferin confirmed in C. aureus leaves. Two of the major flavonol glycosides present in flowers of cultivated species were identified as kaempferol 3-sophoroside and kaempferol 3- rutinoside-7-glucoside. However none of the flavonoids identified appears to contribute to yellow petal colour in Crocus, which is probably entirely carotenoid-based.
Wide Quorum Systems (2007)

It is considered good distributed computing practice to devise object implementations that tolerate contention, periods of asynchrony and a large number of failures, but perform fast if few failures occur, the system is synchronous and there is no contention. This paper initiates the first study of quorum systems that help design such implementations. Namely, our study of quorum systems encompasses both the optimal resilience of distributed object implementations (just like traditional quorum systems), as well as their optimal best-case complexity (unlike traditional quorum systems). We introduce the notion of a wide quorum system of some set S as a set of three classes of subsets (quorums) of S. First class quorums have wide intersections with all other quorums, second class quorums might have slightly smaller intersections with those of the third class, the latter simply correspond to traditional quorums. Intuitively, under uncontended and synchronous conditions, a distributed object implementation would expedite an operation if a quorum of the first class is accessed, then degrade gracefully depending on whether a quorum of the second or the third class is accessed. We illustrate the power of wide quorums by introducing two new optimal distributed object implementations: a Byzantine-resilient atomic storage algorithm and a Byzantine-resilient consensus algorithm. Both match previously established resilience and best-case complexity lower bounds, closing open gaps, as well as new lower bounds we establish here. For presentation simplicity, we first introduce our quorum notion with a threshold-based adversary model. Then we discuss how to generalize it to cope with a general adversary structure. Thanks to the wide quorum abstraction, our algorithms can be directly ported to such a structure.

The formation of mono N-Chloramine by electrolysis of ammonium chloride in aqueous ammoniacal solution was studied versus the concentrations of [NH4+], [NH3], [Cl-], current density and time at 273.1 K.
Two-dimensional infrared photonic band gap structure based on porous silicon (1995)

We have fabricated a two-dimensional photonic band structure based on macroporous silicon with individual gaps for both polarizations in the infrared region between 250 and 500 cm−1 (20–40 μm). A square lattice of circular air rods with a lattice constant of 8 μm was etched 340 μm deep in an n-type silicon substrate by electrochemical pore formation in hydrofluoric acid. The transmission spectra between 50 and 650 cm−1 were in good agreement with the theoretical calculated structure. The pore formation technique should allow the fabrication of photonic lattices with a complete two-dimensional band gap in the middle and near infrared.
Genetic control of mitochondrial malic enzyme in mouse brain. (1979)

A mitochondrial malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40; L-malate: NADP/sup +/ oxidoreductase (oxalacetate-decarboxylating) has been extensively purified from mouse heart and brain. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined in the analytical ultracentrifuge to be 250,000 to 253,000. Rabbit antiserum has been prepared against the purified heart enzyme. The antiserum is specific for the mitochondrial form of malic enzyme and cross-reacts completely with the enzyme from brain. An examination of the specific activity of the enzyme in heart and brain mitochondrial pellets of 10 inbred strains showed that all had essentially identical heart activities, whereas the brain activities fell into two distinct classes. F/sub 1/ hybrid animals between a high activity strain (C3H) and a low activity strain (C57BL/10) had an exactly intermediate level of activity. Using the antiserum, it has been shown that the tissue-specific difference in the specific activity of the enzyme in brains of C3H and C57BL/10 mice is due to the presence of more enzyme molecules in one of the strains than in the other. Genetic analysis has established that the level of expression of mitochondrial malic enzyme in brain is determined by a single locus, designated Mdr, which exists in two allelic forms. Mdr alleles havemore » no effect on the expression of the enzyme in heart.« less
Anomalous transport and diffusion in percolation systems (2007)

Many disordered systems can be modelled by percolation. Applications of this standard model range from amorphous and porous media to composites, branched polymers, gels and complex ionic conductors. In this brief review we give a short introduction to percolation theory and describe applications in materials science. We start with the structural properties of percolation clusters and their substructures. Then we turn to their dynamical properties and discuss the way the laws of diffusion and conduction are modified on these structures. Finally, we review applications of the percolation concept for transport in various kinds of heterogeneous ionic conductors.
Privacy protected content sharing in extended home environment over Content-Centric Networking (2012)

Today, consumers possess a huge amount of personal contents due to increasing mobile devices and home appliances. This leads to extension of content sharing domain and thus, privacy protection of consumers becomes more important. In this paper, we propose a privacy protection mechanism providing the fine-grained access control on contents in the extended home environment. Our access control scheme is based on content encryption and supports a notion of groups and flexible access policy definition in content hierarchy using Access Control List (ACL). Though our proposed scheme is built on the hierarchical named content following CCN naming, it is also applicable to general hierarchies of named content or file systems as well.
Discovery of mental illness and mental defect among offenders. (1973)

In spite of one psychiatrist's play upon words, infatuation with myth, and diatribes about mental illness, people still get sick in their minds and disturbed in their behavior. They are known to have lost control of their impulses and to have committed dangerous acts causing injury to themselves and to others. Patients have described hallucinatory and delusional experiences, have become disorganized and confused, have lost contact with reality, and have required treatment in specialized hospitals, there to be protected for their own sake as well as for others and to receive help toward halting the disease process, controlling it, curing it.
Cladding by Plasma Transferred Arc Process: Effect of the Process on Plasma Parameters Behavior and Molten Bath (2012)

Abstract Coatings, a few-millimeter thick, are widely used to protect new mechanical parts against abrasion and erosion or rebuild worn parts. The plasma transferred arc process is a commonly used process to deposit such coatings. It makes it possible to bring about a metal bath inside which melted powders are introduced to form an alloyed coating between the feedstock material and substrate material with metallurgical adhesion. The main parameters of the process are the arc current intensity, plasma and shrouding gas flow rates, distance between the cathode tip and piece, velocity of plasma torch displacement; they all have a notable effect on the produced coating. This study investigates the plasma behavior and properties of the clad by using a design of experiments. The properties of the coating are the dilution level, porosity, and efficiency of material deposition, heat flux transferred to a water-cooled calorimeter, and the hardness in the clad and the substrate to estimate the thermally affected area.
Study for focusing shock wave and expansion wave by acoustic impedance matching (2018)

In the previous study, the collateral damage area was evaluated for the electrically induced bubble injector (needle-free injector) which was invented in our laboratory. It was confirmed that the input power is closely related to the depth of the injection area. However, the perforation depth of conventional bubble injector is limited as general use of injector. Therefore for the present study, evaluation and amplification of shock wave and expansion wave which are generated in cavitation and reflection phenomena is carried out. Also, the reflector to focuse shockwave is designed and fabricated to amplify the injection performance of bubble injector.

The technical orientation, pavement structure, and material design scheme of the first full-scale test track (RIOHTRACK) in China, and the composition of the testing platform, including vehicle loading and data collection, etc., are introduced. RIOHTRACK has 19 kinds of designed pavement structure putting on the straight and transition curve, these pavement structures cover domestic and foreign engineering application cases, including flexible base course, semirigid base course and rigid base course, and different asphalt structural layers and material combination modes. The 19 kinds of pavement are classified according to the design idea and evaluation objective, and the design standard, verification objective, structure character, and material technique requirement, etc. of each pavement structure are discussed separately. Using the multiaxle loading vehicle with a total weight of 100 t, the all-weather accelerated loading on the above typical pavement structures is conducted, and the performance of these pavement structures is quantified and compared. The result can be used for research of equivalent load conversion method, pavement damage prediction model, the method of structure and material optimal design, and maintenance technical standard.

Crucial role of 55-kilodalton TNF receptor in TNF-induced adhesion molecule expression and leukocyte organ infiltration (1996)

Stimulation of leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium by TNF is mediated by the up-regulation of adhesion molecules on the endothelial cell surface. C57BL/6 mice and syngenic 55-kDa TNF receptor-deficient mice (TNFRp55-/- mice) were challenged with TNF, and the kinetics of intracellular adhesion molecule-1, ICAM-1, mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule-1, vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin expression were examined in various organs. TNF induced sustained VCAM-1 expression within 4 h in lung, liver, and kidney. In the lungs, but not in other organs, transient E-selectin expression was induced by TNF within 0.5 h and peaked at 4 h. The TNF-induced expression of VCAM-1 and E-selectin was found to be exclusively controlled by the 55-kDa TNF-receptor (TNFRp55) as demonstrated by analysis of TNFRp55-/- mice. Furthermore, TNF triggered mononuclear cell and neutrophil infiltration of lung, liver, and kidney in C57BL/6 mice but not TNFRp55-/- mice. Interestingly, MAdCAM-1 expression in the marginal sinus of the spleen was detected in wild-type mice but was absent in TNFRp55-/- mice. Together, the data suggest that in vivo the 55-kDa TNF receptor mediates the induction of VCAM-1 and E-selectin expression and is critically involved in the control of leukocyte organ infiltration.
Kinetic process of the commensurate-incommensurate phase transition in K2SeO4 (1989)

Abstract The kinetic process of the commensurate-incommensurate phase transition in K2SeO4 has been studied by the measurements of the time evolutions of polarization and dielectric constant during the field-induced transition. The time evolutions are qualitatively similar to those observed for Rb2ZnCl4, and can be explained by our theory of the time evolution of discommensuration lattice during the commensurate-incommensurate transition.

Implementation of a high reliable chirp underwater acoustic modem (2012)

With the increase of applications on underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSN), reliability of underwater communication (UWC) has become increasingly demanding. In this paper, a new underwater acoustic modem prototype design based M-ary different chirp spread signals (MCSS) is presented. Through sea test, it is verified that under low SNR shallow water environment, the modem can achieve error-free communication at distance of 212m with data rate of 300 bps, and the transmission power consumption is no more than 0.97 W. From these observations, it might be utilized for the wide applications based on underwater acoustic communication.

<title>External optical imaging of freely moving mice with green fluorescent protein-expressing metastatic tumors</title> (2000)

We report here a new approach to genetically engineering tumors to become fluorescence such that they can be imaged externally in freely-moving animals. We describe here external high-resolution real-time fluorescent optical imaging of metastatic tumors in live mice. Stable high-level green flourescent protein (GFP)-expressing human and rodent cell lines enable tumors and metastasis is formed from them to be externally imaged from freely-moving mice. Real-time tumor and metastatic growth were quantitated from whole-body real-time imaging in GFP-expressing melanoma and colon carcinoma models. This GFP optical imaging system is highly appropriate for high throughput in vivo drug screening.
Introducing Risk Considerations into the Supply Chain Network Design (2020)

Supply chains (SC) aim to provide products to the final customer at a certain service level. However, unforeseen events occur that impede supply chain objectives. SC Risk has been studied in the literature, providing frameworks and methodologies to manage SC failures. Nevertheless, more efforts are needed to prevent hazardous and disruptive risks and their consequences. These risks must be considered during the process of designing a supply chain. Some methodological contributions concerning risk in the supply chain network design (SCND) are conceptual frameworks for mitigating SC disruptions, which suggest strategies and measures for designing robust and resilient SCs. Although such contributions are valuable, they do not indicate how to cope with risk when designing a SC. The main objective of this research is to describe a methodology aimed at including risk considerations into the SCND. Our proposal aims to be, on the one hand, a comprehensive approach that includes a risk identification and assessment procedure in each of the stages of the SCND process and, on the other hand, a tool for decision-making in SC design or redesign processes when SC risks need to be considered. The methodology proposed is an extension of a SCND methodology including risk considerations in order to improve the performance of the supply chains. A case study illustrates how the proposed methodological works, achieving the identification of SC risks already observed in previous works.
A DOM tree alignment model for mining parallel data from the web (2006)

This paper presents a new web mining scheme for parallel data acquisition. Based on the Document Object Model (DOM), a web page is represented as a DOM tree. Then a DOM tree alignment model is proposed to identify the translationally equivalent texts and hyperlinks between two parallel DOM trees. By tracing the identified parallel hyperlinks, parallel web documents are recursively mined. Compared with previous mining schemes, the benchmarks show that this new mining scheme improves the mining coverage, reduces mining bandwidth, and enhances the quality of mined parallel sentences.
Abstract 491: Encapsulation of the stem cell inhibitor Salinomycin in novel QUATRAMER sustained injectable suspension (HSB-1216) for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (2020)

Abstract Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) represents approximately 15% of all cases of lung cancer. SCLC patients have a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Conventional chemotherapy can reduce the bulk of SCLC lesions, but cancer stem cells (CSCs) survive, reconstitute the tumor and contribute to metastases. Thus, targeting CSCs, which are resistant to many current treatments, may significantly improve outcomes of SCLC patients. Salinomycin (SAL), a potassium ionophore, preferentially targets CSCs. However, SAL is extensively metabolized in animal models and is associated with substantial toxicity at higher doses, limiting its potential for anti-cancer activity in patients In this study, we report a novel QUATRAMER polymeric nanoparticle (NP)-based formulation, that potentially overcomes toxicity of SAL. SAL was encapsulated in polymeric NPs comprised of a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-polypropylene glycol (PPG)-PEG-modified PLA-tetra-block copolymer (SAL-NPs; HSB-1216). SAL release from the NPs was controlled by both PEG/PEG-PPG-PEG chain length and the PLA molecular weight, permitting time-dependent release over sustained periods. Treatment of the human SCLC cell line NCI-H69 with HSB-1216 demonstrated an IC50 of 0.5 uM. Once weekly treatment of BALB/c nu/nu mice harboring NCI-H69 xenografts with HSB-1216 at a dose of 5 mg/kg resulted in substantial tumor growth inhibition The tumor growth inhibition was without any effect on the body weights of the mice. These results demonstrate that a novel formulation for sustained delivery of SAL in a sustained injectable suspension represents an approach for targeting CSCs in SCLCs and potentially other cancer types.

Hepatitis C Treatment: current and future perspectives (2010)

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a member of Flaviviridae family and one of the major causes of liver disease. There are about 175 million HCV infected patients worldwide that constitute 3% of world's population. The main route of HCV transmission is parental however 90% intravenous drug users are at highest risk. Standard interferon and ribavirin remained a gold standard of chronic HCV treatment having 38-43% sustained virological response rates. Currently the standard therapy for HCV is pegylated interferon (PEG-INF) with ribavirin. This therapy achieves 50% sustained virological response (SVR) for genotype 1 and 80% for genotype 2 & 3. As pegylated interferon is expensive, standard interferon is still the main therapy for HCV treatment in under developed countries. On the other hand, studies showed that pegylated IFN and RBV therapy has severe side effects like hematological complications. Herbal medicines (laccase, proanthocyandin, Rhodiola kirilowii) are also being in use as a natural and alternative way for treatment of HCV but there is not a single significant report documented yet. Best SVR indicators are genotype 3 and 2, < 0.2 million IU/mL pretreatment viral load, rapid virological response (RVR) rate and age <40 years. New therapeutic approaches are under study like interferon related systems, modified forms of ribavirin, internal ribosome entry site (HCV IRES) inhibitors, NS3 and NS5a inhibitors, novel immunomodulators and specifically targeted anti-viral therapy for hepatitis C compounds. More remedial therapies include caspase inhibitors, anti-fibrotic agents, antibody treatment and vaccines.
