Review of Multi-fidelity Models (2023)

This article provides an overview of multi-fidelity modeling trends. Fidelity in modeling refers to the level of detail and accuracy provided by a predictive model or simulation. Generally, models with higher fidelity deliver more precise results but demand greater computational resources. Multi-fidelity models integrate high-fidelity and low-fidelity models to obtain fast yet accurate predictions. Their growing popularity is due to their ability to approximate high-fidelity models with high accuracy and low computational cost. This work classifies publications in multi-fidelity modeling based on various factors, including application, surrogate selection, fidelity difference, fidelity combination method, field of application, and year of publication. The study also examines the techniques used to combine fidelities, focusing on multi-fidelity surrogate models. To accurately evaluate the advantages of utilizing multi-fidelity models, it is necessary to report the achieved time savings. This paper includes guidelines for authors to present their multi-fidelity-related savings in a standard, succinct, yet thorough way to guide future users. According to a select group of publications that provided sufficient information, multi-fidelity models achieved savings of up to 90% while maintaining the desired level of accuracy. However, the savings achieved through multi-fidelity models depend highly on the problem.
Complement Factor B Production in Renal Tubular Cells and Its Role in Sodium Transporter Expression During Polymicrobial Sepsis* (2016)

1) Toll-like receptor 3/4 activation is sufficient to induce complement factor B production via nuclear factor-κB pathway and to enhance alternative pathway activation in the kidney tubular epithelial cells. 2) Complement factor B may contribute to the down-regulation of certain sodium transporter expression during sepsis.
Long-Term <i>N</i>-Acetylcysteine and <scp>l</scp>-Arginine Administration Reduces Endothelial Activation and Systolic Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (2008)

NAC + ARG administration seems to be a potential well-tolerated antiatherogenic therapy because it improves endothelial function in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes by improving NO bioavailability via reduction of oxidative stress and increase of NO production. Our study's results give prominence to its potential use in primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention in these patients.
Electrostatic potential molecular surfaces. (1982)

Color-coded computer graphics representations of the electrostatic potentials of trypsin, trypsin-inhibitor, prealbumin and its thyroxine complex, fragments of double-helical DNA, and a netropsin--DNA complex illustrate the electrostatic and topographic complementarity in macromolecule-ligand interactions. This approach is powerful in revealing intermolecular specificity and shows promise of having predictive value in drug design.
Improved Neighboring Reference Points Selection Method for Wi-Fi Based Indoor Localization (2018)

Reference point (RP)-based methods such as K nearest neighbor (KNN) and k-means are frequently used for indoor location using received signal strength indicator fingerprints. However, these traditional RP-based algorithms (also termed clustering algorithms) do not use the information of geometric proximity between RP and test point for position determination. Meanwhile, the number of clusters needs to be predefined, which means an unsuitable number of clusters would lead to poor estimation accuracy. In this article, in order to eliminate incorrect neighboring RPs and to avoid selected RPs located only on one side of the test point, the geometric proximity between the neighboring RP and test point is analyzed in the online phase. The nearest neighboring RPs are selected based on their physical distances to the test point, instead of the widely used RPs' positions. The proposed algorithm was tested by the experiments conducted within an office building, and the results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the traditional KNN, weighted K-nearest neighbor (WKNN), and test point irrelevant clustering algorithm.
A Simple Procedure for Correcting Loading Effects of Aethalometer Data (2007)

A simple method for correcting for the loading effects of aethalometer data is presented. The formula BC(CORRECTED) = (1 + k x ATN) x BC(NONCORRECTED), where ATN is the attenuation and BC is black carbon, was used for correcting aethalometer data obtained from measurements at three different sites: a subway station in Helsinki, an urban background measurement station in Helsinki, and a rural station in Hyytiälä in central Finland. The BC data were compared with simultaneously measured aerosol volume concentrations (V). After the correction algorithm, the BC-to-V ratio remained relatively stable between consequent filter spots, which can be regarded as indirect evidence that the correction algorithm works. The k value calculated from the outdoor sites had a clear seasonal cycle that could be explained by darker aerosol in winter than in summer. When the contribution of BC to the total aerosol volume was high, the k factor was high and vice versa. In winter, the k values at all wavelengths were very close to that obtained from the subway station data. In summer, the k value was wavelength dependent and often negative. When the k value is negative, the noncorrected BC concentrations overestimated the true concentrations.
Bacteriostatic Effects of Hyaluronic Acid (1999)

Background: This investigation is one of a series of projects seeking to ascertain whether hyaluronic acid (HA) is therapeutically effective in tissue regeneration procedures. The rationale for these investigations is to test the hypothesis that HA can serve as a bioabsorbable carrier for other substrates as well as itself actively promote the regeneration of tissue. Methods: In this paper, we report on the bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties of 3 molecular weight formulations of recombinant HA (low, 141 kD; medium, 757 kD; and high, 1,300 kD) on selected oral and non‐oral microorganisms in the planktonic phase. Three concentrations of each HA formulation were screened, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/ml, using a standard broth culture assay. Results: Recombinant HA exerted varied bacteriostatic effects on all the bacterial strains tested depending on its molecular weight (MW) and concentration. The high concentrations of the medium MW HA had the greatest bacteriostatic effect, particularly on the Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella oris, Staphylococcus aureus, and Propionibacterium acnes strains. The 1.0 mg/ml concentration of high MW HA had the greatest overall bacteriostatic effect, inhibiting the growth of all 6 bacterial strains tested. Among the bacterial strains studied, HA was found to have no bactericidal effects, regardless of concentration or molecular weight. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that HA in the MW range of 1,300 kD may prove beneficial in minimizing bacterial contamination of surgical wounds when used in guided tissue regeneration surgery.

Gelatinase B modulates selective opening of the blood-brain barrier during inflammation (1998)

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with neuroinflammatory diseases, and blood-brain barrier damage is a pathophysiological consequence of central nervous system inflammation. We examined whether an increase in MMP production is coupled with the breakdown of blood-brain barrier integrity in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-injured brain. Rat brain stimulated with LPS showed a significant rise in gelatinase B (MMP-9) production at 24 h compared with either tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) or saline-injected controls. Latent 92-kDa gelatinase B was detected by 4 h, peaked at 8 h, and persisted for 24 h after LPS injection. Production of the active 84-kDa form of gelatinase B was less pronounced, but paralleled 92-kDa enzyme expression. Breakdown in blood-brain barrier integrity, measured by the infiltration of radiolabeled exogenous markers into the brain, was significant to [14C]sucrose (molecular mass 342 Da) and injected animals compared with saline-injected controls. The extent of MMP involvement in barrier permeability was examined in animals treated with the MMP inhibitor BB-1101. A significant drop in gelatinase A and B production was detected in LPS-injured animals receiving BB-1101 compared with untreated animals. This MMP inhibitor also reduced [14C]sucrose uptake in LPS-injected animals, but had no effect on [14C]dextran uptake. MMP production is upregulated in LPS-injured brain tissue and is instrumental in regulating the size-differentiated opening of the blood-brain barrier during acute neuroinflammation.
How to build a baby: II. Conceptual primitives. (1992)

A mechanism of perceptual analysis by which infants derive meaning from perceptual activity is described. Infants use this mechanism to redescribe perceptual information into image-schematic format. Image-schemas create conceptual structure from the spatial structure of objects and their movements, resulting in notions such as animacy, inanimacy, agency, and containment. These earliest meanings are nonpropositional, analogical representations grounded in the perceptual world of the infant. In contrast with most perceptual processing, which is not analyzed in this fashion, redescription into image-schematic format simplifies perceptual information and makes it potentially accessible for purposes of concept formation and thought. In addition to enabling preverbal thought, image-schemas provide a foundation for language acquisition by creating an interface between the continuous processes of perception and the discrete nature of language.
Family Life and conflicts of Female International Marriage Migrant (2006)

The purpose of this study is to examine conflicts between female international marriage migrants(FIMMs) and their family members, and living conditions of FIMMs in Korea. The results will be useful in understanding FIMMs' struggles and will help them to develop their adaptive ability to family life. This study analyzed the factors in three dimensions: a Sociodemographic factor, a marriage-related factor and a factor of the migrants' relationship to their family members. All conflicts result from the lack of mutual understanding between the migrants and their family, and the differences between their languages and between their cultures. Of course, FIMMs can not adequately express their feelings and opinions in Korean language. Their loved ones and relatives can not express their feelings in the immigrants' languages, either. It is evident that there are a lot of misunderstandings caused from their language barrier. The public support for the migrants is limited. They live a lonely life and no consideration. Most of them complains that their husbands have no careful concern for their feelings. That seems because most of the Korean husbands have never had education enough to understand their problems in terms of international marriage. A close watch of what can be learned from conflict and complaints of women. However, any sympathy for foreign women's complaints should be evaluated in cultural sides: especially family life education programs for Korean husbands and their family members are required for a good grasp of typical intermarriage issues.

Factors affecting the efficacy of non‐fumigant nematicides for controlling root‐knot nematodes (2005)

Second-stage juveniles (J2) and egg masses of root-knot nematodes as well as root debris heavily infected by the latter were exposed for different periods of time to six different doses of the nematicides cadusafos and fenamiphos. The efficacy of the nematicides increased significantly with increasing exposure time. Both nematicides were more effective against J2, although they could not provide acceptable control of J2 inside egg masses or heavily galled root debris. The effect of different application strategies on the efficacy and persistence of certain nematicides was also assessed in a field study. Cadusafos, fenamiphos, fosthiazate and oxamyl were applied in field micro-plots either as a single full dose at the time of crop establishment or as multiple reduced-rate applications at 14-day intervals throughout the cropping period, and their efficacy and persistence were determined using bioassays and analytical studies. Fosthiazate was the most efficient nematicide studied, and this was mainly attributed to its long soil persistence. Oxamyl also provided adequate nematode control for the first 48-56 days after its application, regardless of the application method used and its relatively rapid field dissipation. Fenamiphos and cadusafos failed to provide adequate nematode control, although cadusafos was the most persistent of the nematicides tested. The failure of fenamiphos to provide adequate nematode control was mainly attributed to its rapid degradation by soil micro-organisms, which were stimulated after its repeated low-rate application at 14-day intervals. In contrast cadusafos failure was attributed to the inability of the nematicide to reduce nematode populations even at relatively high concentrations in soil.
Expression of RORγt Marks a Pathogenic Regulatory T Cell Subset in Human Colon Cancer (2012)

The role of regulatory T cells (T(regs)) in human colon cancer (CC) remains controversial: high densities of tumor-infiltrating T(regs) can correlate with better or worse clinical outcomes depending on the study. In mouse models of cancer, T(regs) have been reported to suppress inflammation and protect the host, suppress T cells and protect the tumor, or even have direct cancer-promoting attributes. These different effects may result from the presence of different T(reg) subsets. We report the preferential expansion of a T(reg) subset in human CC with potent T cell-suppressive, but compromised anti-inflammatory, properties; these cells are distinguished from T(regs) present in healthy donors by their coexpression of Foxp3 and RORγt. T(regs) with similar attributes were found to be expanded in mouse models of hereditary polyposis. Indeed, ablation of the RORγt gene in Foxp3(+) cells in polyp-prone mice stabilized T(reg) anti-inflammatory functions, suppressed inflammation, improved polyp-specific immune surveillance, and severely attenuated polyposis. Ablation of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-23, IL-17, or tumor necrosis factor-α in polyp-prone mice reduced polyp number but not to the same extent as loss of RORγt. Surprisingly, loss of IL-17A had a dual effect: IL-17A-deficient mice had fewer polyps but continued to have RORγt(+) T(regs) and developed invasive cancer. Thus, we conclude that RORγt has a central role in determining the balance between protective and pathogenic T(regs) in CC and that T(reg) subtype regulates inflammation, potency of immune surveillance, and severity of disease outcome.
Multi-enzyme cascade reactions using protein–polymer surfactant self-standing films (2017)

Hierarchical self-assembly is used to fabricate bio-catalytically active, self-supporting protein-polymer surfactant films capable of sustaining two- or three-enzyme cascade reactions.
The Use of 1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) for the Fluorescent Detection of Latent Fingerprints on Paper. A Preliminary Evaluation (1990)

Abstract The use of a new amino acid reagent 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO), which produces a highly fluorescent species with latent fingerprints on paper, is described. Spectral characteristics of the fluorescent fingerprint show excitation (λex approximately 470 nm) and emission (λex approximately 570 nm) maxima in the visible part of the spectrum. Some printing inks fluoresce under these conditions and would therefore hinder fingerprint detection, but optical brighteners present in paper do not interfere. Fluorescent fingerprints visualized by DFO revealed more fingerprint detail than ninhydrin, the standard method for such surfaces.
Endogenously EGFP-Labeled Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells. (2011)

Transplantation of embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived precursors holds great promise for treating various disease conditions. Tracing of precursors derived from ESC after transplantation is important to determine their migration and fate. Chemical labeling, as well as transfection or viral-mediated transduction of tracer genes in ESC or in ESC-derived precursors, which are the methods that have been used in the generation of the vast majority of labeled ESCs, have serious drawbacks such as varying efficacy. To circumvent this problem we generated endogenously traceable mouse (m)ESC clones by direct derivation from blastocysts of transgenic mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under control of the housekeeping β-actin promoter The only previous report of endogenously EGFP-labeled mESC derived directly from transgenic EGFP embryos is that of Ahn and colleagues (Ahn et al, 2008. Cytotherapy 10:759-769), who used embryos from a different transgenic line and used a significantly different protocol for derivation. Cells from a high-expressing EGFP-mESC clone, G11, retain high levels of EGFP expression after differentiation into derivatives of all three primary germ layers both in vitro and in vivo, and contribution to all tissues in chimeric progeny. To determine whether progenitor cells derived from G11 could be used in transplantation experiments, we differentiated them to early neuronal precursors and injected them into syngeneic mouse brains. Transplanted EGFP-expressing cells at different stages of differentiation along the neuronal lineage could be identified in brains by expression of EGFP twelve weeks after transplantation. Our results suggest that the EGFP-mESC(G11) line may constitute a useful tool in ESC-based cell and tissue replacement studies.
Quantitative assessment of bone density on X-ray picture. (1983)

On an X-ray picture of the hands along with an aluminum step-wedge, the bone density was measured at the middle site of the metacarpal bone II with a densitometer and a computer to provide 6 indices in healthy subjects and patients with osteoporosis in order to assess the degree of bone density. This method was observed to exhibit significant correlations with the already established methods for bone mineral assessment including the Jikei method, photon absorptiometry, and bone biopsy. Thus our method permits the assessment of the degree of bone atrophy.
