Trust in Pervasive Computing (2016)

Mobile devices with small form factors, yet with computing power comparable to desktops only years old, are now common. Enhanced multimodal user interfaces such as touch screens, biometric security devices, and accelerometers have significantly improved the usability of these devices. The integration of global position system (GPS) receivers, cameras, and recorders in cellphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) has ushered in a new generation ofconvergedmobile devices. We are now witnessing a continuous proliferation of wireless appliances in everyday life, such as crib monitors, home security alarms, fire alarm annunciators, and surveillance cameras. These technological advances are helping create resource-rich environments in which personal mobile devices can seamlessly integrate to utilize and provide services; moreover, these mobile devices will be capable of sharing their capabilities via wireless means. Peer-to-peer relationships will enable devices to dynamically form collaborative relationships and perform complex tasks leveraging available resources either shared among the peers or present in their surrounding environment.
Synthesis of a Macroporous Conjugated Polymer Framework: Iron Doping for Highly Stable, Highly Efficient Lithium–Sulfur Batteries (2018)

Porous conjugated polymers offer enormous potential for energy storage because of the combined features of pores and extended π-conjugated structures. However, the drawbacks such as low pore volumes and insolubilities of micro- and mesoporous conjugated polymers restrict the loading of electroactive materials and thus energy storage performance. Herein, we report the synthesis of iron-doped macroporous conjugated polymers for hosting sulfur as the cathode of high-performance lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The macroporous conjugated polymers are synthesized via in situ growth of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) from reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets, followed by gelation of the composite (RGO- g-P3HT) in p-xylene and freeze-drying. The network structures of the macroporous materials can be readily tuned by controlling the chain length of P3HT grafted to RGO sheets. The large pore volumes of the macroporous RGO- g-P3HT materials (ca. 34 cm<sup>3</sup> g<sup>-1</sup>) make them excellent frameworks for hosting sulfur as cathodes of Li-S batteries. Furthermore, incorporation of Fe into the macroporous RGO- g-P3HT cathode results in reduced polarization, enhanced specific capacity (1,288, 1,103, and 907 mA h g<sup>-1</sup> at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 C, respectively), and improved cycling stability (765 mA h g<sup>-1</sup> after 100 cycles at 0.2 C). Density functional theory calculations and in situ characterizations suggest that incorporation of Fe enhances the interactions between lithium polysulfides and the P3HT framework.
Electrical impedance tomography: regularized imaging and contrast detection (1996)

Dynamic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) images changes in the conductivity distribution of a medium from low frequency electrical measurements made at electrodes on the medium surface. Reconstruction of the conductivity distribution is an under-determined and ill-posed problem, typically requiring either simplifying assumptions or regularization based on a priori knowledge. This paper presents a maximum a posteriori (MAP) approach to linearized image reconstruction using knowledge of the noise variance of the measurements and the covariance of the conductivity distribution. This approach has the advantage of an intuitive interpretation of the algorithm parameters as well as fast (near real time) image reconstruction. In order to compare this approach to existing algorithms, the authors develop figures of merit to measure the reconstructed image resolution, the noise amplification of the image reconstruction, and the fidelity of positioning in the image. Finally, the authors develop a communications systems approach to calculate the probability of detection of a conductivity contrast in the reconstructed image as a function of the measurement noise and the reconstruction algorithm used.
Simulation Analysis of Nerve Block by High Frequency Biphasic Electrical Current Based on Frankenhaeuser-Huxley Model (2005)

Nerve conduction block induced by high frequency biphasic electrical current was simulated using a lumped circuit model of the myelinated axon based on Frankenhaueuser-Huxley (FH) equations. Axons of different diameters (5-20 &#956;m) can be blocked completed when the stimulation frequency is above 10 kHz. At higher frequency a higher stimulation intensity is needed to block nerve conduction. Larger diameter axons have lower block threshold. The activation of potassium channels, rather than inactivation of sodium channels, is the possible mechanism underlying the nerve conduction block of the myelinated axon induced by high frequency biphasic pulse current. This simulation study, which provides more information about the axonal conduction block induced by high frequency biphasic pulse current, can guide future animal experiments as well as optimize stimulation waveforms for electrical nerve block in possible clinical applications.

Aerosolized delivery of amikacin is a promising adjunct to standard therapy for pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infections. Larger prospective trials are needed to define its optimal role in therapy of this disease.
The effect of phenobarbital on the nonenzymatic glycation of hemoglobin. (1994)

The effect of phenobarbital (PB) on nonenzymatic glycation of hemoglobin in vivo and in vitro was studied. In epileptic patients on long-term therapy with PB, the yield of glycated hemoglobin fraction HbA1c was found to be significantly higher than in normal control. In samples of Hb exposed to glucose in vitro in the presence of PB, HbA1c was also found to be significantly higher than in those exposed to glucose in the absence of PB. Enhanced reactivity of beta-NH2 terminus of Hb with glucose, was partly explained by observing that its pKa was decreased in the presence of PB. It was shown that the effect of PB on pKa of beta-NH2 terminus is one of the consequences of the Hb-PB interactions which were studied in this work by electrophoretic and NMR techniques.
Diploid mint (M. longifolia) can produce spearmint type oil with a high yield potential (2021)

Mint oil is a key source of natural flavors with wide industrial applications. Two unbalanced polyploid cultivars named Native (Mentha Spicata L) and Scotch (M. × gracilis Sole) are the main producers of spearmint type oil, which is characterized by high levels of the monoterpenes (-)-carvone and (-)-limonene. These cultivars have been the backbone of spearmint oil production for decades, while breeding and improvement remained largely unexplored, in part, due to sterility in cultivated lines. Here we show that sexual breeding at the diploid level can be leveraged to develop new varieties that produce spearmint type oil, along with the improvement of other important traits. Using field trials and GC-FID oil analysis we characterized plant materials from a public germplasm repository and identified a diploid accession that exhibited 89.5% increase in oil yield, compared to the industry standard, and another that produces spearmint type oil. Spearmint-type oil was present at high frequency in a segregating F<sub>2</sub> population (32/160) produced from these two accessions. Field-testing of ten of these F<sub>2</sub> lines showed segregation for oil yield and confirmed the production of spearmint-type oil profiles. Two of these lines combined high yield and spearmint-type oil with acceptable analytic and sensory profiles. These results demonstrate that spearmint-type oil can be produced in a diploid background with high yield potential, providing a simpler genetic system for the development of improved spearmint varieties.
Electrospun PCL Scaffolds as Drug Carrier for Corneal Wound Dressing Using Layer-by-Layer Coating of Hyaluronic Acid and Heparin (2022)

Due to its ability to reduce scarring and inflammation, human amniotic membrane is a widely used graft for wound dressings after corneal surgery. To overcome donor dependency and biological variances in the donor tissue, artificial nanofibrous grafts acting as drug carrier systems are promising substitutes. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds seem to be an appropriate approach as they offer the properties of permeable scaffolds with a high specific surface, the latter one depending on the fiber diameter. Electrospun scaffolds with fiber diameter of 35 nm, 113 nm, 167 nm and 549 nm were manufactured and coated by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technology with either hyaluronic acid or heparin for enhanced regeneration of corneal tissue after surgery. Studies on drug loading capacity and release kinetics defined a lower limit for nanofibrous scaffolds for effective drug loading. Additionally, scaffold characteristics and resulting mechanical properties from the application-oriented characterization of suture pullout from suture retention tests were examined. Finally, scaffolds consisting of nanofibers with a mean fiber diameter of 113 nm were identified as the best-performing scaffolds, concerning drug loading efficiency and resistance against suture pullout.
ACE: An Adaptive CSS Engine for Web Pages and Web-based Applications (2013)

ACE is a system that tailors web interfaces to the users’ behavior without requiring end user intervention. By lever-aging implicit interactions (e.g., tracking mouse or touch events), the visual appearance of page elements is subtly modified in an unsupervised and incremental manner. Such page elements (accessed by means of CSS selectors) and their alterable parts (defined as CSS properties) are both specified by the webmaster via JSON notation. ACE remembers the adapted styles for a given user, and consequently reapplies them when the user returns to the website, being also able to populate them to other non-browsed pages that share a similar structure.

Advances in Enhanced Boiling Heat Transfer From Electronic Components (2003)

This paper reviews recent advances in enhancing boiling heat transfer from electronic components immersed in dielectric liquids by use of surface microstructures. The microstructures developed include rough surfaces produced by sanding, vapor blasting hard particles, sputtering of SiO2 followed by wet etching of the surface, chemical vapor deposition of SiO2 film etc., laser-drilled cavities, a brush-like structure (dendritic structure), reentrant and micro-reentrant cavities, microfins, and porous structures fabricated by alumina particle spraying and painting of silver flakes, diamond particles, aluminum particles and copper particles. Heat sink studs with drilled holes, microfins, multi-layered micro-channels and pores, and pin fins with and without microporous coating have also been developed. The height of microstructure ranges from 0 to 12mm. The primary issues discussed are the mitigation of temperature overshoot at boiling incipience, enhancement of nucleate boiling heat transfer and increasing the critical heat flux.
Geographic patterns of prostate cancer mortality. Evidence for a protective effect of ultraviolet radiation (1992)

These data lend support to the hypothesis that UV radiation may protect against clinical prostate cancer. Viewed in conjunction with other recent data, including those demonstrating a differentiating effect of vitamin D on human prostate cancer cells, these findings suggest that vitamin D may have an important role in the natural history of prostate cancer.
Age Changes in Pupil Size (1950)

From an investigation of measurements of pupil size made on 222 subjects from 20 to 89 years of age it was concluded that there was a marked reduction in the size of the pupil with age in both light and dark conditions. The older pupil in proportion to initial size constricted as much as the young in one mL brightness
Cysteine Proteinase C1A Paralog Profiles Correspond with Phylogenetic Lineages of Pathogenic Piroplasmids (2018)

Piroplasmid parasites comprising of <i>Babesia</i>, <i>Theileria</i>, and <i>Cytauxzoon</i> are transmitted by ticks to farm and pet animals and have a significant impact on livestock industries and animal health in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. In addition, diverse <i>Babesia</i> spp. infect humans as opportunistic hosts. Molecular phylogeny has demonstrated at least six piroplasmid lineages exemplified by <i>B. microti</i>, <i>B. duncani</i>, <i>C. felis</i>, <i>T. equi</i>, <i>Theileria</i> sensu stricto (<i>T. annulata</i>, <i>T. parva</i>, and <i>T. orientalis</i>) and <i>Babesia</i> sensu stricto (<i>B. bovis</i>, <i>B. bigemina</i>, and <i>B. ovis</i>). C1A cysteine-proteinases (C1A-Cp) are papain-like enzymes implicated in pathogenic and vital steps of the parasite life cycle such as nutrition and host cell egress. An expansion of C1A-Cp of <i>T. annulata</i> and <i>T. parva</i> with respect to <i>B. bovis</i> and <i>B. ovis</i> was previously described. In the present work, C1A-Cp paralogs were identified in available genomes of species pertaining to each piroplasmid lineage. Phylogenetic analysis revealed eight C1A-Cp groups. The profile of C1A-Cp paralogs across these groups corroborates and defines the existence of six piroplasmid lineages. <i>C. felis</i>, <i>T. equi</i> and <i>Theileria</i> s.s. each showed characteristic expansions into extensive families of C1A-Cp paralogs in two of the eight groups. Underlying gene duplications have occurred as independent unique evolutionary events that allow distinguishing these three piroplasmid lineages. We hypothesize that C1A-Cp paralog families may be associated with the advent of the schizont stage. Differences in the invertebrate tick host specificity and/or mode of transmission in piroplasmid lineages might also be associated with the observed C1A-Cp paralog profiles.
Practicing Law on a Different Battlefied (2001)

I am pleased to have this chance to write about the function of legal adviser to the Danish armed forces. I will focus on the navy, which is my branch, and on peace support operations, which are the primary function of the modem Danish military. The contents of this Article are my private views. I do not go into specific details, because I aim to provide a broad impression of some aspects of the role of military legal adviser in a time when conceptions of conflict are rapidly changing. The position of legal adviser to the Danish Armed Forces is relatively new. Created in 1997, the office consists of one legal adviser for the Joint Staff, one for each branch of the armed forces (army, navy, air force), and one for the Danish reaction forces, five in all. We do not possess a large staff-or any staff for that matter-so our responsibilities include legal research and the production of legal guidelines, as well as day-to-day necessities, such as drawing up military contracts. There are, however, dirty-seven reservist legal advisers who can be called upon to serve the entire military in wartime. That number should satisfy the need to give proper counseling to military commanders in times of heightened conflict. [CONT]
[Estimation of FSH and LH before and after stimulation with LH-RH in male sterility and hypogonadism]. (1977)

Plasma levels of FSH and LH, in 232 subjects examined for sterility or hypogonadism, have been assessed vefore and after stimulation by LH RH (100 microng IV). In excretory azoospermia, the basal levels as well as the response to LH RH of FSH as well as LH are normal. In early testicular damage (constitutional or acquired); basal FSH levels are elevated (91% of the cases) as well as the FSH response to LH RH (78%); basal LH levels are either normal (66% of the cases) or elevated (34%). An augmentation of the LH response has been found in 92% of the cases. In hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (n = 12) 3 types of responses have been noticed : absence of response of FSH and of LH (7 cases); normal FSH response, no LH response (2 cases); exaggerated FSH and LH response (2 cases). In idiopahtic oligospermia (n = 84); basal FSH levels are elevated in 24 cases but normal in the rest. There is a highly significant correlation between basal FSH and its response to LH RH injection (r = 0.73, t = 9,67 p less than 0,001); basal LH levels are normal, except in 5 cases where a definite increase has been noted. The response of LH is exaggerated in 36 cases which includes the 5 showing enhanced basal LH levels. There is a highly significant correlation between FSH response and LH response (r = 0,55; t = 5,94; p less than 0,001). Exploration of patients with varicocoele intact or operated show no difference from those suffering from idiopathic oligospermia. From a practical point of view, the LH RH test enables : a distinction between excretory azoospermia and secretory azoospermia with normal testicular volume, without recourse to testicular biopsy; affirmation, in 36% of cases with idiopathic oligospermia of the early damage to spermatogenesis, thus contra-indicating any treatment involving testicular stimulation. From the physico-pathological point of view : the early damage to spermatogenesis is characterized by an elevation in basal FSH and its response to LH RH injection. The significance of the augmented Lh response, which often accompanies an augmentation in FSH response but incertain cases is isolated, is discussed.
The sarculator stratified prognosis of patients with high-risk soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of extremities and trunk wall treated with perioperative chemotherapy in a randomised controlled trial (RCT). (2017)

11016 Background: Patients with extremity and trunk wall STS with high malignancy grade and size larger than 5cm are considered at high risk of death, but in fact this risk varies broadly depending on histologic subtype and size. The Sarculator, a nomogram for STS, can improve prognostic assessment of these patients. This tool was evaluated for stratifying risk of distant metastasis (DM) and overall survival (OS) in a RCT investigating perioperative chemotherapy. Methods: High-risk STS patients were randomly assigned to receive either three cycles of preoperative chemotherapy with epirubicin (120 mg/m2) and ifosfamide (9 g/m2) or the same three preoperative cycles followed by two further postoperative cycles. The Sarculator was used to stratify patient risk according to predicted 10-year cumulative incidence of DM and OS rates. Results: The Sarculator identified three different prognostic groups of patients at low (N = 101), intermediate (N = 102), and high (N = 107) risk. Cumulative incidence of DM was 0.26 (SE: 0.04), 0.31 (SE: 0.05), and 0.48 (SE: 0.05) for low, intermediate, and high risk patients, respectively. Similarly, OS rates were 0.78 (95%CI 0.68-0.85), 0.63 (95%CI 0.53-0.72), and 0.42 (95%CI 0.32-0.52), respectively. Patients in the low risk group were at significantly lower risk of death compared to those in the intermediate (HR 0.51, 95%CI 0.34-0.78, P = 0.002) and high (HR 0.28, 95%CI 0.17-0.46, P &lt; 0.001) risk groups. Subgroup analysis performed by jointly considering these three groups and the two study arms did not identify statistically significant survival differences between the treatment arms within each risk category. Conclusions: Patients with high-risk STS included in this RCT were not a homogeneous population. The Sarculator identified different risk groups for DM and OS even in patients included in a RCT investigating perioperative treatments. This tool should be considered for redefining high-risk STS and stratifying patient risk in future RCT investigating perioperative chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: 2004-003979-36.
Real-time CW Holographic Phase Conjugator (2016)

We demonstrate real-time correction of tip-tilt errors introduced by a dynamic phase aberrator in a directed beam through the use of a holographic phase conjugator system. We describe the layout of the optical system, the alignment, and processing required to achieve phase correction. Results show a reduction in beam wander when the system is operating in the presence of a moving phase plate.
