Metalloporphyrin catalysts for living and immortal polymerizations (1996)

Abstract The living polymerization of methyl methacrylate with aluminium porphyrin ( 1 ) proceeded dramatically rapidly at room temperature in the presence of sterically crowded organoaluminium compounds such as methylaluminium ortho ‐substituted diphenolates ( 3a − 3g ), bis(triphenylmethanolate) ( 4a ), and triphenylaluminium, where undesired reaction between the growing species and the Lewis acids was sterically suppressed. On the basis of this Lewis acid ‐ assisted high‐speed living polymerization, various monomers such as ethyl, propyl, butyl, and dodecyl methacrylates, methacrylonitrile, and 1,2‐epoxypropane were polymerized very rapidly with the aluminium porphyrin ‐ Lewis acid systems.
Patients with multiple myeloma have excellent long‐term outcomes after recovery from dialysis‐dependent acute kidney injury (2015)

In this series, the large majority of patients with MM and dialysis-dependent AKI secondary to myeloma cast nephropathy who recovered independent renal function had no requirement for further dialysis. Survival following recovery of renal function is good, and early variables are independently associated with survival and future renal function.
Gene expression profiling of human whole blood samples with the Illumina WG-DASL assay (2011)

Overall, the detection sensitivity of the whole genome DASL assay is higher than the IVT-based direct hybridization assay, with or without globin reduction, and should be considered in conjunction with globin reduction methods for future blood-based gene expression studies.
Face detection by optimal atomic decomposition (2005)

Atomic decompositions are lower-cost alternatives to the principal component analysis (PCA) in tasks where sparse signal representation is required. In pattern classifications tasks, e.g. face detection, a careful selection of atoms is needed in order to ensure an optimal and fast-operating decomposition to be used in the feature extraction stage. In this contribution, adaptive boosting is used as criterion for selecting optimal atoms as features in frontal face detection system. The goal is to speed up the learning process by a proper combination of a dictionary of atoms and a weak learner. Dictionaries of anisotropic wavelet packets are used where the total number of atoms is still feasible for large-size images. In the adaptive boosting algorithm a Bayesian classifier is used as a weak learner instead of a simple threshold, thus ensuring a higher accuracy for slightly increased computational cost during the detection stage. The experimental results obtained for four different dictionaries are quite promising based on the good localization properties of the anisotropic wavelet packet functions.
Classified quadtree-based adaptive loop filter (2011)

In this paper, we propose a classified quadtree-based adaptive loop filter (CQALF) in video coding. Pixels in a picture are classified into two categories by considering the impact of the deblocking filter, the pixels that are modified and the pixels that are not modified by the deblocking filter. A wiener filter is carefully designed for each category and the filter coefficients are transmitted to decoder. For the pixels that are modified by the deblocking filter, the filter is estimated at encoder by minimizing the mean square error between the original input frame and a combined frame which is a weighted average of the reconstructed frames before and after the deblocking filter. For pixels that the deblocking filter does not modify, the filter is estimated by minimizing the mean square error between the original frame and the reconstructed frame. The proposed algorithm is implemented on top of KTA software and compatible with the quadtree-based adaptive loop filter. Compared with kta2.6rl anchor, the proposed CQALF achieves 10.05%, 7.55%, and 6.19% BD bitrate reduction in average for intra only, IPPP, and HB coding structures respectively.
Retardation measurement with capillary blood flow using enhanced polarization-sensitivity optical coherence tomography (EPS-OCT) (2005)

Polarization-Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography (PS-OCT) has been used to measure birefringence of biological samples, namely the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). The presence of blood vessels in biological samples complicates accurate measurement of tissue birefringence as a result of the Doppler shift in fringe frequency and the shadowing effect below blood vessels due to absorption and scattering of light photons by blood. We investigate phase retardation measurement with controlled capillary blood flow overlying a birefringent sample with enhanced polarization-sensitivity optical coherence tomography (EPS-OCT). The effect of blood flow on the calculation of phase retardation and tissue birefringence was studied in the polarization domain. Light propagating through an overlying moving turbid medium (blood) undergoes single or multiple forward scattering events and a Doppler shift in presence of flow. Light propagating through an overlying medium may introduce Doppler shifts of each polarization component and/or polarization shifts or retardation of light. While undergoing multiple forward scattering, each scattering event can modify the frequency or light phase delay. In successive scattering events, potential Doppler shifts and/or polarization shifts accumulate. Light propagating within the birefringent sample undergoes multiple forward scattering events leading to phase retardation between polarization components. This paper investigates phase retardation measurement underlying physiological blood flow rates (6, 12, 18, and 24&mu;l/min) at a range of light incident angle (0-20 deg.) on the sample. With EPS-OCT, the effect of light scattering and differential Doppler shifts between the polarization modes on the measurement of phase retardation was within our speckle noise range.
Factors Associated With Parental Activation in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (2011)

Patient activation, the extension of self-efficacy into self-management, is an essential component of effective chronic care. In pediatric populations, caregiver activation is also needed for proper disease management. This study investigates the relationships between parental activation and other characteristics of parent-child dyads (N = 198) presenting for pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Parental activation concerning their child's health was assessed using the Parent Patient Activation Measure (Parent-PAM), a modified version of the well-validated Patient Activation Measure (PAM). Using hierarchical linear regression and following the Belsky process model for determining parenting behaviors, a multivariate model was created for parental activation on behalf of their child that showed that the parent's age, rating of their own general health, self-activation, and duration of the child's illness were significantly related to Parent-PAM score. Our findings characterize a potentially distinct form of activation in a parent-child cohort preparing for a demanding clinical course.
CVSSearch: searching through source code using CVS comments (2002)

CVSSearch is a tool that searches for fragments of source code by using CVS comments. CVS is a version control system that is widely used in the open source community. Our search tool takes advantage of the fact that a CVS comment typically describes the lines of code involved in the commit and this description will typically hold for many future versions. In other words, CVSSearch allows one to better search the most recent version of the code by looking at previous versions to better understand the current version. In this paper we describe our algorithm for mapping CVS comments to the corresponding source code, present a search tool based on this technique, and discuss preliminary feedback.
Ag-specific humoral immune responses: effects of dialyzable spleen extracts from immunized mice (33.12) (2009)

Abstract Murine dialyzable spleen extracts (DSE) are similar to Transfer Factors in that they can transfer cell mediated immunity (CMI) from an immunocompetent organism into a naïve one in an antigen-specific manner. Lymphoid organs from rats treated with transfer factor have shown histological changes and increased lymphoblasts and plasmocytes. In this work we investigated if treating mice with DSE obtained from OVA immunized mice (DSEova) could modify the humoral immune response against OVA in naïve mice. Methods. DSEova preparation: splenic cell suspensions from OVA immunized BALB/c mice were disrupted by freeze-thaw cycles, extracts were then dialyzed with a membrane pore of 10 kDa. BALB/c mice were treated with 20μg of DSEova alone. Serum samples were obtained between days 0-36, and IgM and IgG anti-OVA were assayed by ELISA. Mice were sacrified on days 9, 15 and 23 post-immunization, and germinal centers (GC) in lymph nodes were identified by immunohistochemistry using PNA and THY-1. Results. Compared to control saline-treated animals, DSEova treated mice produced IgM and IgG anti-OVA. Compared to saline-treated mice, DSEova-mice showed increased numbers of GC, but of smaller size than OVA-treated mice. Conclusion. In this in-vivo model, compared to control-mice, DSEova would appear to stimulate the Ag-specific antibody responses and the appearance of GC.
Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) Response to Simulated Drift from Selected Herbicides (1992)

This study evaluated the response of sweet cherry to different herbicides applied at rates simulating drift. Chlorsulfuron, thifensulfuron, bromoxynil, 2,4-D, glyphosate, and a combination of 2,4-D and glyphosate were applied on one side of one- and two-year-old established cherry trees at 1/3, 1/10, 1/33, and 1/100 of the maximum rate for small grain production. The order of herbicide phytotoxicity was chlorsulfuron &gt; 2,4-D &gt; glyphosate &gt; 2,4-D + glyphosate &gt; thifensulfuron &gt; bromoxynil. Trees recovered from injury caused by all treatments except higher rates of chlorsulfuron, 2,4-D, and glyphosate. The herbicides caused characteristic symptoms, but some resembled disease, mineral deficiency, and environmental stress symptoms. Therefore, any allegations about herbicide drift based on chronic symptoms should be supported by analysis of plant tissue.
A comparison between experimental results and a fluid description of a low pressure discharge driven by a double-saddle antenna (2005)

The diffusion of a 160 W argon plasma from a 13.56 MHz cylindrical (6 cm diameter, 20 cm long) magnetic field-free source into a 30 cm diameter and 20 cm long diffusion chamber has been investigated experimentally and by simulation. The rf power is coupled to the plasma using a double-saddle antenna. Experimentally, the radial plasma density and potential profiles across the source exit and the electron temperature are measured using an energy analyser operating in ion and electron collection mode, respectively. A two-dimensional fluid simulation model, stimulated by the experimental results, has been developed; it includes a specific power deposition scheme based on previous analytical work on the double-saddle antenna. A good agreement between the experimental and simulation results is obtained in terms of density and plasma potential radial profiles and electron temperature.
The Body Composition Monitor: a flexible tool for routine fluid management across the haemodialysis population (2017)

Bioimpedance measurements with the Body Composition Monitor (BCM) have been shown to improve fluid management in haemodialysis. However, there is a lack of a sufficiently robust evidence-base for use of the BCM outside of standard protocols. This study aims to characterise BCM measurement variation to allow users to make measurements and interpret the results with confidence in a range of clinical scenarios. BCM measurements were made in 48 healthy controls and in 48 stable haemodialysis patients before and immediately after dialysis. The effect of utilising alternative measurement paths was assessed using mixed effects models and the effect of measuring post-dialysis was assessed by comparing changes in BCM-measured overhydration (OH) with weight changes over dialysis. The data from healthy controls suggest that there is no difference in BCM-measured OH between all the whole-body paths other than the foot-to-foot measurement. Dialysis patients showed similar results other than having higher BCM-measured OH when measured across the site of a vascular access. There was good agreement between BCM-measured OH and change in weight, suggesting post-dialysis measurements can be utilised. These results suggest BCM protocols can be flexible regarding measurement paths and timing of measurement to ensure as many patients as possible can benefit from the technology.

Apoptosis induction by 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in prostate cancer. (2002)

Calcitriol [1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3] is the natural ligand of the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Using cultured prostate cancer (PC) cell lines, LN-CaP and ALVA-31, we studied the effects of 1alpha,25(OH)2-Vitamin D3 (VD3) on expression of several apoptosis-regulating proteins including: (a) Bcl-2 family proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L), Mcl-1, Bax, and Bak); (b) the heat shock protein 70-binding protein BAG1L; and (c) IAP family proteins (XIAP, cIAP1, and cIAP2). VD3 induced decreases in levels of antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L), and Mcl-1, BAG1L, XIAP, cIAP1, and cIAP2 (without altering proapoptotic Bax and Bak) in association with increases in apoptosis. In contrast to VDR-expressing LN-CaP and ALVA-31 cells, VDR-deficient prostate cancer line Du-145 demonstrated no changes in apoptosis protein expression after treatment with VD3. In sensitive PC cell lines, VD3 activates downstream effector protease, caspase-3, and upstream initiator protease caspase-9, the apical protease in the mitochondrial ("intrinsic") pathway for apoptosis, but not caspase-8, an initiator caspase linked to an alternative ("extrinsic") apoptosis pathway triggered by cytokine receptors. VD3 induced declines in antiapoptotic proteins and also stimulated cytochrome c release from mitochondria by a caspase-independent mechanism. Moreover, apoptosis induction by VD3 was suppressed by overexpressing Bcl-2, a known blocker of cytochrome c release, whereas the caspase-8 suppressor CrmA afforded little protection. Thus, VD3 is capable of inhibiting expression of multiple antiapoptotic proteins in VDR-expressing prostate cancer cells, leading to activation of the mitochondrial pathway for apoptosis.
Optical fiber-based liquid level sensor (2007)

A liquid level sensor based on etched D-shaped silica optical fibers is presented. The optical transmission of the sensor depends on the liquid level. The sensor can be realized as a continuous level sensor with a high resolution and requires only one fiber and one optical source and detector. We have demonstrated a sensor with a resolution of ~1 mm. The sensor works for liquids with refractive indices greater than ~1.45. We show that the sensor response is the same for increasing and decreasing liquid levels.
Vertical profiles of environmental parameters measured from physical, optical and imaging sensors during station TARA_077 of the Tara Oceans expedition 2009-2013 (2014)

The Tara Oceans Expedition (2009-2013) sampled the world oceans on board a 36 m long schooner, collecting environmental data and organisms from viruses to planktonic metazoans for later analyses using modern sequencing and state-of-the-art imaging technologies. Tara Oceans Data are particularly suited to study the genetic, morphological and functional diversity of plankton. The present data set includes properties of seawater, particulate matter and dissolved matter from physical, optical and imaging sensors mounted on a vertical sampling system (Rosette) used during the 2009-2013 tara Oceans Expedition. It comprised 2 pairs of conductivity and temperature sensors (SEABIRD components), and a complete set of WEtLabs optical sensors, including chrorophyll and CDOM fluorometers, a 25 cm transmissiometer, and a one-wavelength backscatter meter. In addition, a SATLANTIC ISUS nitrate sensor and a Hydroptic Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP) were mounted on the rosette. In the Arctic Ocean and Arctic Seas (2013), a second oxygen sensor (SBE43) and a four frequency Aquascat acoustic profiler were added. The system was powered on specific Li-Ion batteries and data were self-recorded at 24HZ. Sensors have all been factory calibrated before, during and after the four year program. Oxygen was validated using climatologies (WOA09). Nitrate and Fluorescence data were adjusted with discrete measurements from Niskin bottles mounted on the Rosette, and optical darks were performed monthly on board. A total of 839 quality checked vertical profiles were made during the tara Oceans expedition 2009-2013.
Reflexive obstacle avoidance for kinematically-redundant manipulators (1989)

Dexterous telerobots incorporating 17 or more degrees of freedom operating under coordinated, sensor-driven computer control will play important roles in future space operations. They will also be used on Earth in assignments like fire fighting, construction and battlefield support. A real time, reflexive obstacle avoidance system, seen as a functional requirement for such massively redundant manipulators, was developed using arm-mounted proximity sensors to control manipulator pose. The project involved a review and analysis of alternative proximity sensor technologies for space applications, the development of a general-purpose algorithm for synthesizing sensor inputs, and the implementation of a prototypical system for demonstration and testing. A 7 degree of freedom Robotics Research K-2107HR manipulator was outfitted with ultrasonic proximity sensors as a testbed, and Robotics Research's standard redundant motion control algorithm was modified such that an object detected by sensor arrays located at the elbow effectively applies a force to the manipulator elbow, normal to the axis. The arm is repelled by objects detected by the sensors, causing the robot to steer around objects in the workspace automatically while continuing to move its tool along the commanded path without interruption. The mathematical approach formulated for synthesizing sensor inputs can be employed for redundant robots of any kinematic configuration.
Origin of enhanced VCD in amyloid fibril spectra: Effect of deuteriation and pH (2017)

Supramolecular chirality of amyloid fibrils, protein aggregates related to many neurodegenerative diseases, is a remarkable property associated with fibril structure and polymorphism. Since its discovery almost 10 years ago there is still little understanding of this phenomenon, including the cause of the highly enhanced vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) intensity arising from fibril supramolecular chirality. In this study, VCD spectra, enhanced by filament supramolecular chirality, are presented for lysozyme and insulin fibrils above and below pH 2 and after deuterium exchange, above and below pD 2. Supramolecular chirality (observed by VCD) and fibril morphology (documented by atomic force microscopy) are not affected by protein deuteriation. In D<sub>2</sub> O the fibril VCD sign pattern changes to fewer bands, with implications for the amide I/II origin of enhanced VCD intensity. Separation of amide I and II signals will facilitate calculations of enhanced VCD spectra of amyloid fibrils and enable a better understanding of the origin of the VCD sign pattern.
A Fast Self-Jamming Cancellation Architecture and Algorithm for Passive RFID Sensor System (2021)

In this letter, we propose a fast self-jamming cancellation (SJC) architecture for Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio-frequency identification (RFID) interrogators. The core SJC architecture includes a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) as the RFID baseband processor, a radio frequency (RF) agile transceiver which has two transmitting ports as the RF front-end, and a combiner. By detecting the amplitude and phase of the interference carrier, the SJC algorithm transmits a suppression carrier through the second transmitting port of the agile RF transceiver. The suppression carrier could effectively suppress the self-jamming carrier without designing complex circuits. Our test results showed the isolation between the transmitting and receiving port achieves 100dB at UHF band, and the cancellation processes can be finished within 0.4ms.
