THE INFLUENCE OF COLOUR ON RADIOMETRIC PERFORMANCES OF AGRICULTURAL NETS (2008)

The whole construction parameters of the net, combined with the shape of the structure, the position of the sun and the sky conditions affect the radiometric performance of the permeable covering system. The radiometric properties of the permeable membrane influence the quality of the agricultural production and the aesthetic characteristics of the netting system. Moreover, the colour of the material and the light reflection- especially of the wavelengths visible for the human eye (VIS, 380-760nm)- is an interesting criterion to determine the aesthetic value of the net structure and its environmental impact. In order to investigate the influence of the threads colour on the radiometric properties of the net, a set of field tests were performed by means of a spectroradiometer in combination with an experimental setup 120x120x50cm covered with membranes formed by threads with different colour. A second set of experiments were performed, on the same kind of nets, in laboratory by means of a combination of a large integrating sphere and a small one: the transmissivity from a direct (tauDIR) and diffuse ((tauDIF) source and the reflectivity from diffuse source (¿) of 50x50cm samples were measured in the PAR range. The evaluation of the transmissivity values shows that the colour of a net influence spectral distribution of the radiation passing through the net absorbing their complementary colours. The transmissivity of black nets is almost constant in the visible range and the reduction of the incoming radiation is proportional to the solidity of the net. In the PAR range transparent and black nets doesn¿t cause an alteration of the spectrum of solar radiation and transmittance is almost constant with a slight growth in nets having lower porosity.
Neuropeptide-Y causes coronary microvascular constriction and is associated with reduced ejection fraction following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (2019)

High CS NPY levels immediately after reperfusion correlate with microvascular dysfunction, greater myocardial injury, and reduced ejection fraction 6 months after STEMI. NPY constricts the coronary microcirculation via the Y1 receptor, and antagonists may be a useful PPCI adjunct therapy.
Novel Techniques for a Verified Simulation of Fractional-Order Differential Equations (2021)

Verified simulation techniques have been investigated intensively by researchers who are dealing with ordinary and partial differential equations. Tasks that have been considered in this context are the solution to initial value problems and boundary value problems, parameter identification, as well as the solution of optimal control problems in cases in which bounded uncertainty in parameters and initial conditions are present. In contrast to system models with integer-order derivatives, fractional-order models have not yet gained the same attention if verified solution techniques are desired. In general, verified simulation techniques rely on interval methods, zonotopes, or Taylor model arithmetic and allow for computing guaranteed outer enclosures of the sets of solutions. As such, not only the influence of uncertain but bounded parameters can be accounted for in a guaranteed way. In addition, also round-off and (temporal) truncation errors that inevitably occur in numerical software implementations can be considered in a rigorous manner. This paper presents novel iterative and series-based solution approaches for the case of initial value problems to fractional-order system models, which will form the basic building block for implementing state estimation schemes in continuous-discrete settings, where the system dynamics is assumed as being continuous but measurements are only available at specific discrete sampling instants.

Abstract
PB1982 AN IN VITRO STUDY OF THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE CELL BASED CANCER VACCINE DCP‐001 AND ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS (2019)

Background: DCP‐001 is a whole cell‐based vaccine derived from the DCOne® human myelomonocytic leukemic cell line. DCOne cells endogenously express known and unknown tumour‐associated antigens. In the DCP‐001 manufacturing process, DCOne cells are differentiated and matured into cells with a mature dendritic cell phenotype. A phase I clinical trial demonstrated that the vaccine is safe and induces local and systemic cellular and humoral immune responses. DCP‐001 is currently studied in an international Phase II trial in AML patients ineligible for HSCT. Aims: To study the role of the interaction of whole cell‐based vaccine DCP‐001 with host immune cells. Methods: DCP‐001 and antigen presenting cell interaction studies were performed using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Cytokine/chemokine analyses were performed using luminex technology. Results: The strong immunogenicity of DCP‐001 is demonstrated by the broad range of chemokines and pro‐inflammatory cytokines released upon co‐culture of DCP‐001 with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Using different methods, we further demonstrate that antigen presenting cells efficiently process DCP‐001 through phagocytosis. Summary/Conclusion: These in vitro data suggest that in vivo , upon intradermal injection, DCP‐001 induces a strong inflammatory response, and is ingested by both resident as well as attracted host's APC, which subsequently prime tumour‐reactive T cells.
Pegvaliase for the treatment of phenylketonuria: Results of the phase 2 dose-finding studies with long-term follow-up (2020)

In two phase 2 dose-finding studies, pegvaliase did not lead to substantial blood Phe reductions. Higher and more frequent pegvaliase dosing in PAL-004 led to a substantial initial drop in blood Phe, but an increase in the number of hypersensitivity AEs and dose reductions or interruptions. With increased dose and duration of treatment in PAL-003, mean blood Phe reduction was substantial and sustained, and the frequency of hypersensitivity AEs decreased and stabilized. Together, these studies led to the development of an induction-titration-maintenance regimen that has been approved for pegvaliase, with patients starting at a low weekly dose that gradually increases in dose and frequency until they achieve a standard non-weight-based daily maintenance dose. This regimen has been tested in a third phase 2 study, as well as in two successful phase 3 studies of pegvaliase.

The T stage and LVI are independent prognostic factors for recurrence-free and cancer-specific survival in patients with UUT-TCC treated by radical nephroureterectomy. These findings would be helpful for guiding decisions about adjuvant therapies and the surveillance interval.
Nanofiber Enabled, Multi - Target Passive Sampling Device for Determination of the Freely Dissolved Sediment Pore Water Concentrations of Organic Contaminants (2016)

Abstract : We used electrospinning to fabricate a suite of electrospun nanofiber mats (ENMs) and test their sorption capacities to a set of hydrophilic (aniline and nitrobenzene) and hydrophobic compounds (PCBs and Dioxin) to be used as next-generation multi-target passive samplers. The average diameter of the ENMs ranged from 70 (PET) to 1,000 (EVA) nm, with a relative standard deviation of less than 50 for each material. Our ENMs in water yielded a fast equilibration time ( 3 days) for our tested hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. The ENM-water partition coefficient (KENM-w) for the hydrophilic compounds ranged from 0.72 to 2.8 log units, with evidence suggesting uptake via partitioning into the bulk nanofiber (i.e. absorption) and specific binding interactions (e.g., H-bonding and Coulombic interactions) contributing to, and potentially controlling, hydrophilic uptake. The KENM-w for hydrophobic compounds ranged from 3.2 to 6.4 log units. Collectively, the rates and KENM-w measured for the best performing ENMs often exceeded partition coefficients achieved with commercially available passive sampling materials (e.g., low-density polyethylene and PDMS glass fiber), particularly for hydrophilic compounds. Overall, our results support our initial hypothesis that electrospun nanofiber mats represent next-generation passive sampling materials that can be easily modified to enhance compound selectivity, sorption capacities and improve field applications.
Toward the understanding of the molecular basis for the inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 by phenolic compounds present in Uruguayan propolis and grape pomace (2015)

Propolis and grape pomace have significant amounts of phenols which can take part in anti-inflammatory mechanisms. As the cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2) are involved in said mechanisms, the possibility for a selective inhibition of COX-2 was analyzed in vitro and in silico. Propolis and grape pomace from Uruguayan species were collected, extracted in hydroalcoholic mixture and analyzed. Based on phenols previously identified, and taking as reference the crystallographic structures of COX-1 and COX-2 in complex with the commercial drug Celecoxib, a molecular docking procedure was devised to adjust 123 phenolic molecular models at the enzyme-binding sites. The most important results of this work are that the extracts have an overall inhibition activity very similar in COX-1 and COX-2, i.e. they do not possess selective inhibition activity for COX-2. Nevertheless, 10 compounds of the phenolic database turned out to be more selective and 94 phenols resulted with similar selectivity than Celecoxib, an outcome that accounts for the overall experimental inhibition measures. Binding site environment observations showed increased polarity in COX-2 as compared with COX-1, suggesting that polarity is the key for selectivity. Accordingly, the screening of molecular contacts pointed to the residues: Arg106, Gln178, Leu338, Ser339, Tyr341, Tyr371, Arg499, Ala502, Val509, and Ser516, which would explain, at the atomic level, the anti-inflammatory effect of the phenolic compounds. Among them, Gln178 and Arg499 appear to be essential for the selective inhibition of COX-2.
PRE-BUNCHING IN A LAMB-SHIFT POLARIZED ION SOURCE. (1972)

We report the delivery of high-energy nanosecond pulses (approximately 65 ns pulse width) from a high-repetition-rate (up to 100 kHz) Q-switched Nd:YAG laser through the fundamental mode of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) at 1064 nm. The guided mode in the HC-PCF has a low overlap with the glass, allowing delivery of pulses with energies above those attainable with other fibers. Energies greater than 0.5 mJ were delivered in a single spatial mode through the hollow-core fiber, providing the pulse energy and high beam quality required for micromachining of metals. Practical micromachining of a metal sheet by fiber delivery has been demonstrated.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Psoriasis ist mit einer erhöhten Rate an Komorbidität assoziiert, deren frühzeitige Erkennung in die Nationalen Versorgungsziele aufgenommen worden ist. Bislang fehlte eine konsentierte Empfehlung zur Früherkennung innerhalb einer dermatologischen Routineversorgung. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die interdisziplinäre Entwicklung von Algorithmen zur Früherkennung. Methodik Die Entwicklung des Konsensuspapiers beruht auf einem dreistufigen Vorgehen: In der ersten Stufe erfolgte in einer nationalen Versorgungskonferenz zur Psoriasis im Auftrag der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft (DDG) und des Berufsverbandes der Deutschen Dermatologen (BVDD) eine Definition von Bedarfen, Einsatzbereichen, Konzeption und Methodik eines Tools zur Früherkennung. Im zweiten Schritt wurde durch einzelne Arbeitsgruppen auf Basis einer Literaturrecherche die Evidenz für den Einsatz von Screening‐Parametern zusammengetragen. Im dritten Schritt erfolgte von einer interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe die Verabschiedung der Algorithmen mittels Delphi‐Befragung. Ergebnisse In den Literaturrecherchen der assoziierten Arbeitsgruppen wurden für 15 Gruppen von Komorbidität über 2 000 Publikationen gesichtet. Für die nachfolgenden zwölf Indikationen wurde ein Screening‐Algorithmus konsentiert: Arterielle Hypertonie, Dyslipidämie, Adipositas, Diabetes, metabolisches Syndrom, nicht‐alkoholische Steatohepatitis, Depression, Nikotinabusus, Alkoholabusus, chronische entzündliche Darmerkrankungen, Psoriasisarthritis, maligne Lymphome. Es wurde dabei auf die Belange in der dermatologischen Versorgung eingegangen. Schlussfolgerung Es stehen für das Screening auf Komorbidität bei Psoriasis vereinheitlichte und im Expertenkonsens verabschiedete Schemata zur Verfügung, die bundesweit im Rahmen von „PsoNet –Regionale Psoriasisnetze in Deutschland“ umgesetzt werden können.
Numerical studies of natural transition in a decelerating boundary layer (1992)

Laminar—turbulent transition in the decelerating boundary layer of Gad-el-Hak et al. (1984) is studied by solving the incompressible, time-dependent, three-dimensional Navier—Stokes equations numerically. The temporal and spatial evolution of the experimental flow structures is approximated with spatial periodicity and temporal evolution while maintaining mean-velocity profiles appropriate to the spatially-developing flow. Other than the mean flow, the initial flow fields include only small-amplitude white random noise. This and the large streamwise and spanwise dimensions of the numerical domain allow unstable waves to be selected by the dynamics, instead of being imposed arbitrarily as in previous numerical studies. In that sense, the transition is natural. In the early stages of transition, two-dimensional and slightly oblique waves grow rapidly owing to inflexional instability. Their subsequent nonlinear interactions trigger the breakdown and create a pattern of Λ vortices. The patterns of Λ vortices are more irregular than those found in ribbon-induced transition. The tips of the Λ vortices are rarely aligned with the flow direction, and they appear in local patches, consistent with the experimental visualizations of Gad-el-Hak et al. A simple model based on the interference of multiple modes of instability accounts for these features, but the specific pattern of Λ vortices depends on the random content of the initial flow field. A simulation of the later stages of transition is performed with higher numerical resolution, showing that the ‘naturally-born’ Λ vortices undergo breakdown processes similar to those of their ribbon-induced counterparts.

Transients in piezoelectric transducers of finite dimensions (1990)

Transients in piezoelectric transducers using spatial impulse responses and a finite-element method have been studied. The developed calculation procedure makes it possible to obtain two-dimensional nonstationary electroacoustic fields inside a transducer as well as spatial distributions on its surfaces under various driving conditions. Numerical simulations of plane and concave transducers have been carried out. The edges of the piezoelectric elements in both cases are sources of strong spurious impulsive waves propagating to the center of a transducer. Some methods to improve the uniformity of the spatial distributions and reduce the amplitude of spurious waves have been proposed. The results obtained may be of particular interest for calculating more accurately pulsed ultrasonic fields radiated by piezoelectric transducers of finite dimensions.

Low Return Loss Multicore Fiber-Fanout Assembly for SDM and Sensing Applications (2020)

SDM using uncoupled or coupled core multicore fibers promises to increase the bandwidth density in optical links. In addition, these fibers form a platform for various sensing systems, including 3D shape sensing. Both applications will be advanced by the low return loss fanout-multicore fiber assembly demonstrated here.
Structural and transport characteristics of the LAMOX family of fast oxide-ion conductors, based on lanthanum molybdenum oxide La2Mo2O9 (2001)

A new family of fast O2− conductors, which exhibit anionic conductivity comparable to that of stabilised zirconia, is presented. The parent compound of this new family, hereafter called LAMOX, is lanthanum molybdate La2Mo2O9. Various substitutions have been attempted: on the lanthanum site (La2 − xAx)Mo2O9 with A = Sr, Ba, K, or Bi; on the molybdenum site La2(Mo2 − xBx)O9 with B = Re, S, W, Cr and V; and on the oxygen site with fluorine. Most of these substitutions suppress the phase transition which occurs in La2Mo2O9 around 580 °C from a low temperature α form to a high temperature (more conducting) β form, and stabilise the β form at room temperature. Several members of the LAMOX series are studied through X-ray and neutron diffraction, and conductivity measurements. Large O2− thermal factors and local static disorder agree well with the anionic nature of the conductivity. Partly vacant sites with short inter-site distances suggest a most probable conduction path with tridimensional character.
Correlating Lithium Hydroxyl Accumulation with Capacity Retention in V2O5 Aerogel Cathodes (2016)

V2O5 aerogels are capable of reversibly intercalating more than 5 Li(+)/V2O5 but suffer from lifetime issues due to their poor capacity retention upon cycling. We employed a range of material characterization and electrochemical techniques along with atomic pair distribution function, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory to determine the origin of the capacity fading in V2O5 aerogel cathodes. In addition to the expected vanadium redox due to intercalation, we observed LiOH species that formed upon discharge and were only partially removed after charging, resulting in an accumulation of electrochemically inactive LiOH over each cycle. Our results indicate that the tightly bound water that is necessary for maintaining the aerogel structure is also inherently responsible for the capacity fade.
On the outage performance of an IEEE 802.11 broadcast scheme in vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (2016)

This paper proposes a new mathematical framework is proposed for analyzing the outage performance of a periodic broadcast service in vehicular networks. Using this framework we are able to calculate higher-order statistics of various random variables associated with the network, including message delay and the number of received packets from neighborhood nodes. Characterizing such quantities beyond their first-order statistics is important in resilient and safety-critical design of networked control systems. We also provide numerical results to compare the outage performance of IEEE 802.11 medium access control with a simple ALOHA like protocol.
Continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion for protection of the brain during aortic arch surgery (1993)

Hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective cerebral perfusion for aortic arch surgery have been reported, but these procedures are of limited duration, require hazardous and complicated techniques and can cause clamp injury. Continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion (CRCP) is a new and simple technique for the protection of the brain during hypothermic circulatory arrest. We applied CRCP in 26 patients who underwent aortic arch surgery. Continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion was performed with a mean blood flow of 383 +/- 176, range 120-800, ml/min. The mean duration of CRCP was 63 +/- 15, range 32-92, min with the superior vena cava pressure at 15-42 mm Hg. No neurologic deficit was observed in 20 patients (90%) and only minor deficits in 2 out of the 22 cases without severe postoperative complications, allowing evaluation of the effectiveness of CRCP. Four patients had other severe complications, and the effectiveness of the method could not be evaluated. Continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion can be an excellent and safe technique which avoids clamp injury during aortic arch surgery.

Arkas: Rapid reproducible RNAseq analysis (2017)

<ns4:p> The recently introduced Kallisto pseudoaligner has radically simplified the quantification of transcripts in RNA-sequencing experiments. We offer cloud-scale RNAseq pipelines <ns4:italic>Arkas-Quantification</ns4:italic> , which deploys Kallisto for parallel cloud computations, and <ns4:italic>Arkas-Analysis,</ns4:italic> which annotates the Kallisto results by extracting structured information directly from source FASTA files with per-contig metadata and calculates the differential expression and gene-set enrichment analysis on both coding genes and transcripts. The biologically informative downstream gene-set analysis maintains special focus on Reactome annotations while supporting ENSEMBL transcriptomes. The Arkas cloud quantification pipeline includes support for custom user-uploaded FASTA files, selection for bias correction and pseudoBAM output. The option to retain pseudoBAM output for structural variant detection and annotation provides a middle ground between <ns4:italic>de novo</ns4:italic> transcriptome assembly and routine quantification, while consuming a fraction of the resources used by popular fusion detection pipelines. Illumina's BaseSpace cloud computing environment, where these two applications are hosted, offers a massively parallel distributive quantification step for users where investigators are better served by cloud-based computing platforms due to inherent efficiencies of scale. </ns4:p>
Demosaicing of color images using pixel level data-dependent triangulation (2003)

Single-chip digital cameras use an array of broad-spectrum charge-coupled devices (CCD) overlayed with a color filter array. The filter layer consists of transparent patches of red, green and blue, such that each CCD pixel captures one of these primary colors. To reconstruct a color image at the full CCD resolution, the 'missing' primary values have to be interpolated from nearby samples. We present an effective color interpolation using a simple pixel level data-dependent triangulation. This interpolation technique is applied to the commonly-used Bayer colour filter array pattern. Results show that the proposed method gives superior reconstruction quality, with smaller visual defects than other methods. Furthermore, the complexity and efficiency of the proposed method is very close to simple bilinear interpolation, making it easy to implement and fast to run.
