A Double-Sided LCC Compensation Network and Its Tuning Method for Wireless Power Transfer (2014)

This paper proposes a double-sided LCC compensation network and its tuning method for wireless power transfer (WPT). With the proposed topology and its tuning method, the resonant frequency is irrelevant with the coupling coefficient between the two coils and is also independent of the load condition, which means that the system can work at a constant switching frequency. Analysis in frequency domain is given to show the characteristics of the proposed method. We also propose a method to tune the network to realize zero voltage switching (ZVS) for the Primary-side switches. Simulation and experimental results verified analysis and validity of the proposed compensation network and the tuning method. A wireless charging system with output power of up to 7.7 kW for electric vehicles was built, and 96% efficiency from dc power source to battery load is achieved.
Using optimal rendering to visually mask defective subpixels (2006)

Visually Optimal Rendering is a subpixel-based method of rendering imagery on a colour matrix display that jointly maximises displayed resolution and minimises attendant colour aliasing. This paper first outlines the Constrained Optimisation framework we have developed for the design of Optimal Rendering Filters. This framework takes into account the subpixel geometry and colour primaries of the panel, and the luminance and chrominance Contrast Sensitivity Functions of the visual system. The resulting Optimal Rendering Filter Matrix can be designed for any regular 2D lattice of subpixels, including multi-primary lattices. The mathematical machinery of Visually Optimal Rendering is then applied to the problem of visually masking defective subpixels on the display. The rendering filters that result are able to reduce black subpixel defects for any primary colour to the point of near invisibility at normal viewing distances. These filters have the interesting property of being shift-varying. This property allows the Optimal Filter Array to intelligently modify the values surrounding a defect in a way that takes advantage of the visual system's differing sensitivities to luminance and chrominance detail in order to best mask a defect.
A Frobenius norm approach to glottal closure detection from the speech signal (1994)

The detection of glottal closure instants has been a necessary step in several applications of speech processing, such as voice source analysis, speech prosody manipulation and speech synthesis. The paper presents a new algorithm for glottal closure detection that compares favorably with other methods available in terms of robustness and computational efficiency. The authors propose to use the singular value decomposition (SVD) approach to detect the instants of glottal closure from the speech signal. The proposed SVD method amounts to calculating the Frobenius norms of signal matrices and therefore is computationally efficient. Moreover, it produces well-defined and reliable peaks that indicate the instants of glottal closure. Finally, with the introduction of the total linear least squares technique, two other proposed methods are reinvestigated and unified into the SVD framework.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Abstract 30: ERG oncoprotein expression in prostate cancer: Potential for ERG-based stratification (2010)

Abstract Introduction: Prevalent gene fusions involving regulatory sequences of the androgen receptor (AR) regulated prostate associated genes (predominantly TMPRSS2) and protein coding sequences of nuclear transcription factors in the ETS gene family (primarily ERG), result in frequent overexpression of ERG in prostate tumors. Emerging studies suggest oncogenic functions of ERG in prostate cancer (CaP). Despite numerous reports of gene fusions and mRNA expression, ERG oncoprotein in CaP still remains to be defined. Using an anti-ERG monoclonal antibody (ERG-MAb) developed by our group, a global view of ERG oncoprotein expression has been established in the context of multi-focal CaP. Experimental procedures: Specificity of the ERG MAb was established using wt ERG and TMPRRSS2-ERG encoded proteins expressed in HEK 293 cells and ERG si RNA treated VCaP cells harboring TMPRRSS2-ERG fusion. ERG expression in formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE), whole mount-prostate specimens was optimized by immuno-histochemistry assay. TMPRSS2-ERG fusion status in representative specimens was analyzed by b-DNA assay or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Results: Through exhaustive evaluations of 132 whole-mount prostates (227 tumor foci and over 200,000 benign glands), we demonstrate 99.9 % specificity of an anti-ERG monoclonal antibody. Specimens from over 60% patients had one or more ERG positive tumor focus. Over 80% concordance was noted between the presence of ERG protein and the common TMPRSS2-ERG fusion (A type) transcript in representative specimens from 35 pateints. Conclusions: Unequivocal association of focally ERG positive PIN lesions with ERG positive carcinoma (80 out of 80 specimens) and vice versa (52 out of 52 specimens) strongly affirms biological role of ERG in clonal progression of prostate tumors. Taken together, the homogeneous and strong ERG expression in individual tumors establishes the potential for ERG based stratification of prostate cancers.

Transform coding of audio signals using perceptual noise criteria (1988)

A 4-b/sample transform coder is designed using a psychoacoustically derived noise-making threshold that is based on the short-term spectrum of the signal. The coder has been tested in a formal subjective test involving a wide selection of monophonic audio inputs. The signals used in the test were of 15-kHz bandwidth, sampled at 32 kHz. The bit rate of the resulting coder was 128 kb/s. The subjective test shows that the coded signal could not be distinguished from the original at that bit rate. Subsequent informal work suggests that a bit rate of 96 kb/s may maintain transparency for the set of inputs used in the test.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Highly Porous and Stable Coordination Polymers as Water Sorption Materials (2010)

Abstract Three MIL-100-type porous coordination polymers were synthesized using different types of anions and their water sorption properties were investigated. All of the compounds adsorbed huge amounts of water (0.6 g g−1) at a moderate humidity (P/P0 &lt; 0.6), and one of the compounds showed the same adsorption property even after two thousand replicate water sorption tests. In addition, the pressure of water adsorption was found to be controlled by counter anions incorporated in the structure, which was attributed to the hydration energy of the anions.

These results indicate that the detoxified LPS-J5/OMP vaccine induces high levels of antibody against the core glycolipid of LPS and functions in vivo to promote clearance of gram-negative bacteria and improve the outcome of experimental polymicrobial intra-abdominal sepsis.
Preionized discharge for short-wavelength laser (1979)

Laser uses helium and nitrogen gases at pressure of several atmospheres to produce emissions in visable and ultraviolet regions. Preionization of gases by transverse discharge insures that main discharge is glow instead of arc for proper charge transfer mechanism.
Chemical Modification of Erythromycins. VIII. A New Effective Route to Clarithromycin (6-O-Methylerythromycin A) (1990)

Selective g-methylation of the C-6 hydroxyl group of erythromycin A could be satisfactorily achieved by using its 9-oxime derivatives as the starting materials.Thus, 6-Q-methylerythromycin A (clarithramycin) was synthesized from 2'-0.3'-N-bis(benryloxycarbonylj-N-demethylerythromycinA v i a its 9-oxime derivative by 6 steps.-
Linkage of Crohn’s disease to the major histocompatibility complex region is detected by multiple non-parametric analyses (1999)

All available analytical methods support linkage of Crohn's disease to the MHC region in these Crohn's disease families. This region is estimated to contribute approximately 10-33% of the total genetic risk to Crohn's disease.

Recently, acidic ionic liquid water mixtures based on the hydrogen sulfate anion have been shown to effectively extract lignin from lignocellulosic biomass.
Effects of Chondroitin Sulphate on Fluid and Solute Transport during Peritoneal Dialysis in Rats (1991)

The effect of chondroitin sulphate (CS) on peritoneal fluid and solute transport was studied in rats undergoing peritoneal dialysis. In the presence of CS, net ultrafiltration increased, while absorption of glucose and horseradish peroxidase from the peritoneal cavity decreased. Albumin, used instead of CS, did not modify either fluid or solute transport. In in vitro experiments on isolated rabbit mesentery, CS decreased transmembrane water flow induced by hydrostatic pressure, and its effect was not fully reversed 60 minutes after "wash-out" of this glycosaminoglycan. We postulate that the polyanionic CS molecules are trapped in the peritoneal interstitium, thus decreasing its hydraulic conductivity and permeability, which in turn increases net fluid removal during peritoneal dialysis because of its slower absorption from the peritoneal cavity.
Herbicide Safener-Binding Protein of Maize1 (1998)

Dichloroacetamide safeners protect maize (Zea mays L.) against injury from chloroacetanilide and thiocarbamate herbicides. Etiolated maize seedlings have a high-affinity cytosolic-binding site for the safener [3H](R,S)-3-dichloroacetyl-2,2,5-trimethyl-1, 3-oxazol-idine ([3H]Saf), and this safener-binding activity (SafBA) is competitively inhibited by the herbicides. The safener-binding protein (SafBP), purified to homogeneity, has a relative molecular weight of 39,000, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and an isoelectric point of 5.5. Antiserum raised against purified SafBP specifically recognizes a 39-kD protein in etiolated maize and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), which have SafBA, but not in etiolated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), or Arabidopsis, which lack SafBA. SafBP is most abundant in the coleoptile and scarcest in the leaves, consistent with the distribution of SafBA. SBP1, a cDNA encoding SafBP, was cloned using polymerase chain reaction primers based on purified proteolytic peptides. Extracts of Escherichia coli cells expressing SBP1 have strong [3H]Saf binding, which, like binding to the native maize protein, is competitively inhibited by the safener dichlormid and the herbicides S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate, alachlor, and metolachlor. SBP1 is predicted to encode a phenolic O-methyltransferase, but SafBP does not O-methylate catechol or caffeic acid. The acquisition of its encoding gene opens experimental approaches for the evaluation of the role of SafBP in response to the relevant safeners and herbicides.
<title>Predefined object tracking method for video segmentation</title> (1998)

In order to support the philosophy of the MPEG-4 video coding standard, we have to represent each frame of video sequences in terms of video object planes (VOPs). Several automatic methods for segmenting of moving objects have been developed. Such algorithms separate the foreground from the background with a change detection mask, which is obtained by the difference image between two successive frames. Thus, these techniques cannot represent each individual video object in a single frame separately, i.e., object correspondence problem. In addition, those algorithms are somewhat premature to obtain desirable segmentation results from all kinds of image sequences because the mathematical model or the similarity measure for the extraction of the video object has not been defined adequately. However, if the user can define video objects in the first frame or newly appeared video objects by a partially or completely user-assisted method like the snake's algorithm, we may obtain good segmentation results over the following successive frames. This semi-automatic segmentation may be more practical in generating VOPs of moving objects. In this paper, we propose a new user-assisted video segmentation algorithm. This algorithm consists of two steps: intra-frame segmentation and inter-frame segmentation. The intra-frame segmentation is applied to the first frame of the image sequence or the frames that have newly appeared video objects. The user can manually define the newly appeared video objects in the image sequence. The inter-frame segmentation is applied to the following consecutive frames. In the inter-frame segmentation, user-defined video objects are segmented automatically by object tracking.
Holes in the valence band of superconducting boron-doped diamond film\n studied by soft X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy (2004)

Carbon- and boron-2$p$ states of superconducting and non-superconducting\nboron-doped diamond samples are measured using soft X-ray emission and\nabsorption spectroscopy. For the superconducting sample, a large density of\nhole states is observed in the valence band in addition to the states in the\nimpurity band. The hole states in the valence band is located at about 1.3 eV\nbelow the valence band maximum regardless of the doping level, which cannot be\ninterpreted within a simple rigid band model. Present experimental results,\ncombined with the first principles calculations, suggest that superconductivity\nis to be attributed to the holes in the valence band.\n
A depolarized Er-doped superfluorescent fiber source with improved long-term polarization stability (2001)

In a backward Er-doped superfluorescent fiber source (SFS), we report the observation of large mean wavelength variations (>100 ppm) induced by external perturbations of the fiber birefringence. These previously unreported variations, which need to be reduced to the ppm level for high-accuracy fiber-optic gyroscope applications, are shown to originate first from polarization-dependent gain induced by the polarized pump source, and second from a slight polarization dependence of the SFS wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler and fiber isolator. We demonstrate that these effects can be substantially reduced by incorporating two Lyot fiber depolarizers in the source. The new depolarized SFS exhibits short-term mean wavelength stability of /spl plusmn/2.5 ppm and a long-term drift of /spl plusmn/3 ppm. The latter is probably due mostly to slow variations in the Er-doped fiber temperature, which can be eliminated with a simple temperature control to /spl sim/0.1/spl deg/C.
Expression and recovery of biologically active recombinant Apolipoprotein AI<sub>Milano</sub> from transgenic safflower (<i>Carthamus tinctorius</i>) seeds (2010)

Apolipoprotein AI Milano (ApoAI(Milano) ) was expressed as a fusion protein in transgenic safflower seeds. High levels of expression corresponding to 7 g of ApoAI(Milano) per kilogram of seed have been identified in a line selected for commercialization. The ApoAI(Milano) fusion protein was extracted from seed using an oilbody-based process and matured in vitro prior to final purification. This yielded a Des-1,2-ApoAI(Milano) product which was confirmed by biochemical characterization including immunoreactivity against ApoAI antibodies, isoelectric point, N-terminal sequencing and electrospray mass spectrometry. Purified Des-1,2-ApoAI(Milano) readily associated with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine in clearance assays comparable to Human ApoAI. Its biological activity was assessed by cholesterol efflux assays using Des-1,2-ApoAI(Milano) :1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine complexes in vitro and in vivo. This study has established that high levels of biologically functional ApoAI(Milano) can be produced using a plant-based expression system.

The UspA1 Protein and a Second Type of UspA2 Protein Mediate Adherence of <i>Moraxella catarrhalis</i> to Human Epithelial Cells In Vitro (2000)

The UspA1 and UspA2 proteins of Moraxella catarrhalis are structurally related, are exposed on the bacterial cell surface, and migrate as very high-molecular-weight complexes in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Previous analysis of uspA1 and uspA2 mutants of M. catarrhalis strain 035E indicated that UspA1 was involved in adherence of this organism to Chang conjunctival epithelial cells in vitro and that expression of UspA2 was essential for resistance of this strain to killing by normal human serum (C. Aebi, E. R. Lafontaine, L. D. Cope, J. L. Latimer, S. R. Lumbley, G. H. McCracken, Jr., and E. J. Hansen, Infect. Immun. 66:3113-3119, 1998). In the present study, isogenic uspA1, uspA2, and uspA1 uspA2 mutations were constructed in three additional M. catarrhalis strains: 012E, TTA37, and 046E. The uspA1 mutant of strain 012E had a decreased ability to attach to Chang cells. However, inactivation of the uspA1 gene in both strain TTA37 and strain 046E did not cause a significant decrease in attachment ability. Inactivation of the uspA2 gene of strain TTA37 did result in a loss of attachment ability. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the predicted protein encoded by the uspA2 genes of both strains TTA37 and 046E had a N-terminal half that resembled the N-terminal half of UspA1 proteins, whereas the C-terminal half of this protein was nearly identical to those of previously characterized UspA2 proteins. The gene encoding this "hybrid" protein was designated uspA2H. PCR-based analysis revealed that approximately 20% of M. catarrhalis strains apparently possess a uspA2H gene instead of a uspA2 gene. The M. catarrhalis uspA1, uspA2, and uspA2H genes were cloned and expressed in Haemophilus influenzae cells, which were used to prove that both the UspA1 and UspA2H proteins can function as adhesins in vitro.
CVD molybdenum films of high infrared reflectance (1979)

Molybdenum thin films of high infrared reflectance have been deposited by pyrolytic decomposition of molybdenum carbonyl (Mo(CO)/sub 6/), and by hydrogen reduction of molybdenum pentachloride (MoCl/sub 5/). Reflectance values within 0.7% of the reflectance of supersmooth bulk molybdenum have been attained by annealing films of lower reflectance in both reducing and non-reducing atmospheres. All depositions and anneals proceed at atmospheric pressure, facilitating a continuous, flow-through fabrication. These reflectors combine the high temperature stability of molybdenum thin films with the infrared reflectance of a material such as aluminum. Deposition from Mo(CO)/sub 6/ under oxidizing conditions, and subsequent anneal in a reducing atmosphere, results in films that combine high solar absorptance with low thermal emittance. If anti-reflected, black molybdenum films can serve as highly selective single layer photothermal converters. Structural, compositional, and crystallographic properties have been measured after both deposition and anneal.
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma: Review of Conventional Treatments (2001)

The non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are a diverse groups of lymphoid neoplasms that collectively rank fifth in cancer incidence and mortality. Conventional treatment for patients with newly-diagnosed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) includes radiation or chemotherapy. In addition, those with asymptomatic low-grade disease may follow a "watch and wait" approach. Single agent oral alkylating therapy and CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone) have become a mainstay of treatment for low-grade NHL. High intensity chemotherapy consisting of the anthracycline, doxorubicin along with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) is offered as standard treatment for intermediate-grade NHL. Following relapse, salvage therapy rarely results in long-term survival in patients with low-grade NHL. Up to 50% of patients die within five years of first relapse. For patients with intermediate-grade NHL who relapse after or do not respond to first-line treatment, a range of combination regimens can be offered, composed of non-cross resistant drugs not typically used during first-line treatment. However, less than half of patients with intermediate-grade disease achieve prolonged disease-free survival. With today's' conventional treatments, cure is only a possibility for a minority of patients with intermediate-grade disease and a limited group of patients with indolent NHL who are diagnosed at early stages. Novel approaches to treatment are therefore needed. Monoclonal antibodies may fulfill this need, administered either as single agents or in conjunction with conventional cytotoxic approaches. The task now lies in determining how best to use this new modality, with the hope of bringing a cure to a greater number of patients.
Ba-Ferrite Magneto-optical Recording Media (1987)

We have studied on the application of Ba-ferrite(BaFe 12 O 19 ) to magneto-optical recording. It was found that CoTi substituted Ba-ferrite(BaCo x Ti x Fe 12-2x O 19 ) films on GGG single crystals had Faraday rotation of 0.9deg/ µ m(λ=780nm) and Curie temperature of 320°C at X=0.9. And CoTi substituted Ba-ferrite films with the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy were obtained on glass substrate by using (111) orientated NiZn-ferrite(Ni x Zn 1-x Fe 2 O 4 ) films for under layer. From these results, Ba-ferrite magneto-optical recording medium which constitution is glass substrate, NiZn-ferrite under layer, CoTi substituted Ba-ferrite magnetic layer and stripe-shaped metal reflective layer for the guide tracks, is proposed from the optimization of each layer.
The Effect of Poly (Glycerol Sebacate) Incorporation within Hybrid Chitin–Lignin Sol–Gel Nanofibrous Scaffolds (2018)

Chitin and lignin primarily accumulate as bio-waste resulting from byproducts of crustacean crusts and plant biomass. Recently, their use has been proposed for diverse and unique bioengineering applications, amongst others. However, their weak mechanical properties need to be improved in order to facilitate their industrial utilization. In this paper, we fabricated hybrid fibers composed of a chitin–lignin (CL)-based sol–gel mixture and elastomeric poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) using a standard electrospinning approach. Obtained results showed that PGS could be coherently blended with the sol–gel mixture to form a nanofibrous scaffold exhibiting remarkable mechanical performance and improved antibacterial and antifungal activity. The developed hybrid fibers showed promising potential in advanced biomedical applications such as wound care products. Ultimately, recycling these sustainable biopolymers and other bio-wastes alike could propel a “greener” economy.
