Electronic Structure and Chain‐Length Effects in Diplatinum Polyynediyl Complexes trans,trans‐[(X)(R3P)2Pt(CC)nPt(PR3)2(X)]: A Computational Investigation (2004)

Structure and bonding in the title complexes are studied using model compounds trans,trans-[(C6H5)(H3P)2Pt(C triple bond C)(n)Pt(PH3)2(C6H5)] (PtCxPt; x = 2n = 4-26) at the B3LYP/LACVP* level of density functional theory. Conformations in which the platinum square planes are parallel are very slightly more stable than those in which they are perpendicular (DeltaE = 0.12 kcal mol(-1) for PtC8Pt). As the carbon-chain length increases, progressively longer C triple bond C triple bonds and shorter triple bond C-C triple bond single bonds are found. Whereas the triple bonds in HCxH become longer (and the single bonds shorter) as the interior of the chain is approached, the PtC triple bond C triple bonds in PtCxPt are longer than the neighboring triple bond. Also, the Pt-C bonds are shorter at longer chain lengths, but not the H-C bonds. Accordingly, natural bond orbital charge distributions show that the platinum atoms become more positively charged, and the carbon chain more negatively charged, as the chain is lengthened. Furthermore, the negative charge is localized at the two terminal C triple bond C atoms, elongating this triple bond. Charge decomposition analyses show no significant d-pi* backbonding. The HOMOs of PtCxPt can be viewed as antibonding combinations of the highest occupied pi orbital of the sp-carbon chain and filled in-plane platinum d orbitals. The platinum character is roughly proportional to the Pt/Cx/Pt composition (e.g., x = 4, 31 %; x = 20, 6 %). The HOMO and LUMO energies monotonically decrease with chain length, the latter somewhat more rapidly so that the HOMO-LUMO gap also decreases. In contrast, the HOMO energies of HCxH increase with chain length; the origin of this dichotomy is analyzed. The electronic spectra of PtC4Pt to PtC10Pt are simulated. These consist of two pi-pi* bands that redshift with increasing chain length and are closely paralleled by real systems. A finite HOMO-LUMO gap is predicted for PtCinfinityPt. The structures of PtCxPt are not strictly linear (average bond angles 179.7 degrees -178.8 degrees ), and the carbon chains give low-frequency fundamental vibrations (x = 4, 146 cm(-1); x = 26, 4 cm(-1)). When the bond angles in PtC12Pt are constrained to 174 degrees in a bow conformation, similar to a crystal structure, the energy increase is only 2 kcal mol(-1). The above conclusions should extrapolate to (C triple bond C)(n) systems with other metal endgroups.
The Construction and Start up Operation of Gresik Smelter and Refinery. (2002)

PT Smelting is a joint venture company (Mitsubishi Materials; 60.5, Freeport Indonesia; 25, Mitsubishi Corp. 9.5 and Nippon Mining and Metals 5%) established on 7 February 1996 to construct and operate a copper smelter and refinery in Indonesia. The construction work started in 1996 and completed in August 1998 after two years construction period. Test operation started in December 1998 and commercial delivery of cathode copper commenced in May 1999. Designed capacity of the plant is 200,000 tons of cathode copper from concentrate supplied from Grasberg copper mine in Papua of PT. Freeport Indonesia. The Mitsubishi process is applied to the smelter and ISA process is introduced to the refinery.In 1999 the operation was 66% of designed capacity, 95% in 2000 and in 2001 the cathode production exceeded the design figure by 7%. About 25% of cathode copper is delivered to domestic customers and the rest to south east Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and Vietnam. All the sulfuric acid is sold to the next- door fertilizer plant and all the slag is delivered to the domestic cement industry. Japanese assistant team for starting-up stayed 5 months. After they left from Gresik, all the operations and maintenance work have been performed 100 % by Indonesian operators with small number of Japanese supervisory engineers.The sulfur fixation rate is over 99.7% and the effluent meets the stringent Indonesian standards. Clean operation of the Gresik smelter and refinery has attained by a full support from surrounding communities.

Bunch Length Measurements Using CTR at the AWA with Comparison to Simulation (2018)

In this paper we present electron bunch length measurements at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) photoinjector facility. The AWA accelerator has a large dynamic charge density range, with electron beam charge varying between 0.1 nC - 100 nC, and laser spot size diameter at the cathode between 0.1 mm - 18 mm. The bunch length measurements were taken at different charge densities using a metallic screen and a Martin-Puplett interferometer to perform autocorrelation scans of the corresponding coherent transition radiation (CTR). A liquid helium-cooled 4K bolometer was used to register the interferometer signal. The experimental results are compared with Impact-T and OPAL-T numerical simulations.
Service composition using new DSON platform architecture for M2M service (2012)

M2M (Machine to Machine) service is a new type of service provided to users across data collection and control of sensor networks. The M2M service will develop into a new service type for surveillance, management and control of smart environments using home network devices, personal smart devices, and personal computers. Presently, studies of new platform architecture, that can provide M2M services, are very lack. This paper suggests a new M2M service platform using the e-DSON (enhanced Dynamic Service Overlay Network). And this paper also describes functions, object structure, and service flow of service composition using the e-DSON platform for the M2M service. The M2M service platform using e-DSON will support enhanced service functions, generality, compatibility, intelligence, and dynamic capability.
Microrobotic platform for making, manipulating and breaking individual paper fiber bonds (2011)

This paper introduces a microrobotic platform to make, manipulate and break individual paper fiber bonds. An individual paper fiber bond is the construction unit of a paper sheet and its properties affect the strength of the entire network of a paper sheet. In one hand, conventional laboratory tests on paper fiber bonds are mainly performed in a hand-sheet level. On the other hand, reported methods for paper fiber bond strength tests in individual bond level are either direct which are manual, laborious and have a low throughput or indirect which require data interpretation. The microrobotic platform presented in this paper performs direct and individual tests on paper fiber bonds. Making, manipulating and breaking individual paper fiber bonds are accomplished successfully demonstrating the first steps towards individual bond strength measurement.
CLINICAL RESULTS OF REATTACHMENT OF GREATER TROCHANTER USING PIN-SLEEVE SYSTEM IN HIP ARTHROPLASTY (2004)

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical results of the Pin-Sleeve System (AI Wiring System; AIWS) with the Dall-Miles Cable Grip System (DMCGS) for reattachment after dissection of the greater trochanter in hip arthroplasty. The DMCGS was used in 33 cases 35 hips from 1994 to 1998 and AIWS in 40 cases 42 hips from 1998 to 2001. The age at operation was 61.3 years (24 to 85 years) in the DMCGS group and 67 years (24 to 86 years) in the AIWS group. The postoperative follow-up period was 24 months (4 months to 54 months) in the DMCGS group and 30 months (11 months to 42 months) in the AIWS group. Bone union failure of the great trochanter occurred in the DMCGS group eight hips (22.9%) and AIWS group five hips (11.9%). The DMCGS group four hips (11.4%) had broken cables, while not even one case of the AIWS group had them (p The AIWS is considered to be a useful implant for reattachment of the greater trochanter compared with the DMCGS.
Optimal Management of Endometriosis and Pain (2020)

The pathophysiology of endometriosis-associated pain involves inflammatory and hormonal alterations and changes in brain signaling pathways. Although medical treatment can provide temporary relief, most patients can achieve long-term sustained pain relief when it is combined with surgical intervention. Owing to its complexity, there is an ongoing debate about how to optimally manage endometriosis-associated pain. We believe optimal management for this condition requires (1) possible egg preservation in affected young patients with and without endometriomas, (2) preoperative medical suppression to inhibit ovulation and to avoid removal of functional cysts that might look like endometriomas, and (3) postoperative hormonal suppression to decrease recurrence, but this treatment should be modified according to disease severity, symptoms, and fertility goals.
African Tick Bite Fever Treated Successfully With Rifampin in a Patient With Doxycycline Intolerance (2017)

African tick bite fever is the most commonly encountered travel-associated rickettsiosis, occurring in as many as 5% of travelers returning from rural subequatorial Africa. This case report illustrates that rifampin represents an effective alternative to doxycycline for treatment of African tick bite fever in some selective situations.
The VE-Cadherin/β-catenin signalling axis regulates immune cell infiltration into tumours (2020)

Vascular normalisation, the process that reverses the structural and functional abnormalities seen in tumour-associated vessels, is also accompanied by changes in leucocyte trafficking. Our previous studies have shown the normalisation effects of the agent CD5-2 which acts to stabilise VE-Cadherin leading to increased penetration of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells but decreased infiltration of neutrophils (CD11b<sup>+</sup>Gr1<sup>hi</sup>) into tumour parenchyma. In the present study, we demonstrate that VE-Cadherin stabilisation through CD5-2 treatment of purified endothelial cells (ECs) results in a similar leucocyte-selective regulation of transmigration, suggesting the existence of an endothelial specific intrinsic mechanism. Further, we show by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)-based transcriptomic analysis, that treatment of ECs with CD5-2 regulates chemokines known to be involved in leucocyte transmigration, including upregulation of CCL2 and CXCL10 that facilitate CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell transmigration. Both in vitro and in vivo mechanistic studies revealed that the increased CCL2 expression was dependent on expression of VE-Cadherin and downstream activation of the AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin/TCF4 signalling pathway. CD5-2 treatment also contributed to the reorganisation of the cytoskeleton, inducing reorganisation of stress fibres to circumferential actin, which previously has been described as associated with the stabilisation of the endothelial barrier, and amplification of the transcellular migration of CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells. Thus, we propose that promotion of endothelial junctional integrity during vascular normalisation not only inhibits vascular leak but also resets the endothelial dependent regulation of immune cell infiltration.
LQG control with an H/sup infinity / performance bound: a Riccati equation approach (1989)

An LQG (linear quadratic Gaussian) control-design problem involving a constraint on H/sup infinity / disturbance attenuation is considered. The H/sup infinity / performance constraint is embedded within the optimization process by replacing the covariance Lyapunov equation by a Riccati equation whose solution leads to an upper bound on L/sub 2/ performance. In contrast to the pair of separated Riccati equations of standard LQG theory, the H/sup infinity /-constrained gains are given by a coupled system of three modified Riccati equations. The coupling illustrates the breakdown of the separation principle for the H/sup infinity /-constrained problem. Both full- and reduced-order design problems are considered with an H/sup infinity / attenuation constraint involving both state and control variables. An algorithm is developed for the full-order design problem and illustrative numerical results are given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Gaussian fluctuation formula for electrostatic free-energy changes in solution (1991)

Linear-response theory is used to derive a microscopic formula for the free-energy change of a solute-solvent system in response to a change in the charge distribution of the solutes. The formula expresses the change in the solvent polarization energy as a quadratic function of the changes in the partial charges at the atomic centers of the solute atoms. The average electrostatic potential at the sites of the solute charges and the second moment of the fluctuations in the electrostatic potential at these sites enter as parameters in the formula. These parameters can be obtained from computer simulations of a reference system with fixed solute charges and the results then compared with explicit free-energy simulations of the corresponding processes or with experiment. The formula provides a microscopic definition of the dielectric response function for the combined solute plus solvent system which can be related to standard formulas for the dielectric response. A simple numerical example involving a simulation of the charging free energy of two ions in aqueous solution is discussed. The change in the solvent polarization with solute charge predicted using the molecular dielectric response function agrees remarkably well with the results of corresponding free-energy simulations for large changes in the solvent polarization energy. Some applications of the molecular dielectric response formula are discussed.

Feasibility Study of Micro-Hole Wall Grinding by Micro-Elastic Abrasive Particles (2015)

This study aims to develop a polishing process improvement technology for deep micro-hole knockout hole wall with high aspect ratio, and discuss the optimal polishing parameter combination of abrasive jet machining method and micro-elastic abrasive particles for deep micro-hole knockout hole wall surface. A micro-elastic abrasive process technology was thus developed. The experimental results showed that the micro-elastic abrasive has better grinding effect on the surface roughness of knockout hole wall in length of 300 mm and in inside diameter of ψ2mm in the machining conditions of jet pressure 0.5MPa, volume mixing ratio 2:1 of abrasive particles to additive and vacuum attraction 70 cmHg. It was improved from 2.39 μm Ra (10.74 μm Rmax) to 0.08 μmRa (1.12 μm Rmax), proving the feasibility of micro-elastic abrasive. The surface was improved well, and the process time was shortened greatly.
Asymptotic Cumulative Distribution Functions for Correlated Lognormal Channels and Their Applications in Selection Combining (2020)

Traditional asymptotic analysis techniques fail for lognormal random variables (RV) because a lognormal probability density function cannot be quantified by Taylor series at the origin, and the moment-generating function of a lognormal RV does not yield a unified form. In this work, we derive two closed-form asymptotic expressions for the multivariate cumulative distribution function (CDF) of L correlated lognormal RVs. Among these two asymptotic expressions, one has an elegant form but low converging speed, while the other has a fast converging speed but involves Gaussian Q-functions. Furthermore, we derive asymptotically tight upper and lower bounds for the multivariate CDF to evaluate the error of the asymptotic approximation. The new analytical results are shown to be effective in evaluating the outage probability of selection combining (SC) over correlated lognormal fading channels when Monte Carlo simulation is expensive. More importantly, the elegant asymptotic expressions show that little outage performance improvement can be introduced to the SC system by adding more antennas for some cases.

In Vitro Activity of a New Oral Triazole, BMS-207147 (ER-30346) (1998)

The antifungal activity of BMS-207147 (also known as ER-30346) was compared to those of itraconazole and fluconazole against 250 strains of fungi representing 44 fungal species. MICs were determined by using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS)-recommended broth macrodilution method for yeasts, which was modified for filamentous fungi. BMS-207147 was about two- to fourfold more potent than itraconazole and about 40-fold more active than fluconazole against yeasts. With the NCCLS-recommended resistant MIC breakpoints of > or = 1 microg/ml for itraconazole and of > or = 64 microg/ml for fluconazole against Candida spp., itraconazole and fluconazole were inactive against strains of Candida krusei and Candida tropicalis. In contrast, all but 9 (all C. tropicalis) of the 116 Candida strains tested had BMS-207147 MICs of < 1 microg/ml. The three triazoles were active against about half of the Candida glabrata strains and against all of the Cryptococcus neoformans strains tested. The three triazoles were fungistatic to most yeast species, except for BMS-207147 and itraconazole, which were fungicidal to cryptococci. BMS-207147 and itraconazole were inhibitory to most aspergilli, and against half of the isolates, the activity was cidal. BMS-207147 and itraconazole were active, though not cidal, against most hyaline Hyphomycetes (with the exception of Fusarium spp. and Pseudallescheria boydii), dermatophytes, and the dematiaceous fungi and inactive against Sporothrix schenckii and zygomycetes. Fluconazole, on the other hand, was inactive against most filamentous fungi with the exception of dermatophytes other than Microsporum gypseum. Thus, the spectrum and potency of BMS-207147 indicate that it should be a candidate for clinical development.
Pak and Rac GTPases promote oncogenic KIT–induced neoplasms (2013)

An acquired somatic mutation at codon 816 in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase is associated with poor prognosis in patients with systemic mastocytosis and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Treatment of leukemic cells bearing this mutation with an allosteric inhibitor of p21-activated kinase (Pak) or its genetic inactivation results in growth repression due to enhanced apoptosis. Inhibition of the upstream effector Rac abrogates the oncogene-induced growth and activity of Pak. Although both Rac1 and Rac2 are constitutively activated via the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Vav1, loss of Rac1 or Rac2 alone moderately corrected the growth of KIT-bearing leukemic cells, whereas the combined loss resulted in 75% growth repression. In vivo, the inhibition of Vav or Rac or Pak delayed the onset of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and corrected the associated pathology in mice. To assess the role of Rac GEFs in oncogene-induced transformation, we used an inhibitor of Rac, EHop-016, which specifically targets Vav1 and found that EHop-016 was a potent inhibitor of human and murine leukemic cell growth. These studies identify Pak and Rac GTPases, including Vav1, as potential therapeutic targets in MPN and AML involving an oncogenic form of KIT.
