La pérdida y el olvido de la memoria en el cuento Estoy rezando por tu salvación (2009)

Estoy rezando por tu salvacion (2000), de Ricardo Chavez Castaneda, se construye a traves de la rememoracion del narrador-protagonista con el proposito de reconstruir los fragmentos del recuerdo. La recoleccion en si misma es una tipologia temporal y el tiempo es inseparable de la conciencia individual. Por lo tanto, se puede decir que la rememoracion del narrador-protagonista significaria la busqueda de si mismo, es decir la propia identidad y el origen �posible� de la identidad en este cuento. Este analisis trata de la configuracion del tiempo y del espacio miticos, abordando los diferentes niveles de los estados entre la perdida de memoria del narrador y de los protagonistas, a la luz de la teoria de Paul Ricoeur expuesta en La memoria, la historia, el olvido. En el presente estudio, trataremos de demostrar que la perdida de memoria y el olvido son diferentes aspectos de la memoria en este cuento, aunque comunmente se les denomine como el pasado ya perdido
Achieving MAC layer fairness in wireless packet networks (2000)

Link-layer fairness models that have been proposed for wireline and packet cellular networks cannot be generalized for shared channel wireless networks because of the unique characteristics of the wireless channel, such as location-dependent contention, inherent conflict between optimizing channel utilization and achieving fairness, and the absence of any centralized control.
Product Quality In Business Simulations (1992)

Quality is defined as the absence of defects. Models and procedures that address product quality in production, in a modeled market, and in a real market are presented. For production, the proposed model makes defects an exponential function of a floor, a ceiling, a number of causes, a rate of reaction, and a random variable. For a modeled market, the proposed model makes lost demand a constant multiple of each defective unit sold. For a real market, the proposed caveat emptor procedure of giving no points to the purchase of defective products has two variants: informed and uninformed. The all-or-none principle of inspection is considered, and a rule for applying it to the modeled market is developed. This rule may apply also to real-world problems
A Semi-Supervised Method to Learn and Construct Taxonomies Using the Web (2010)

Termites are social insects with high species diversity in tropical ecosystems. Multivariate analysis with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and data interpretation can separate social insects belonging to different colonies of the same species. The objective of this study was to propose the use of discriminant analysis by partial least squares (PLS-DA) combined with NIRS to identify the colonial origin of the Syntermes grandis (Rambur, 1842) (Blattodea: Termitidae) in 2 castes. Six ground S. grandis colonies were identified and mapped; 30 workers and 30 soldier termites in each colony were submitted to spectral measurement with NIRS. PLS-DA applied to the termites' spectral absorbance was used to detect a spectral pattern per S. grandis colony by caste. PLS-DA regression with NIRS proved to be an approach with 99.9% accuracy for identifying the colonial origin of S. grandis workers and 98.3% for soldiers. The methodology showed the importance of qualitatively characterizing the colonial phenotypic response of this species. NIRS is a high-precision approach to identifying the colony origin of S. grandis workers and soldiers. The PLS-DA can be used to design ecological field studies to identify colony territorial competition and foraging behavior of subterranean termite species.
Experimental observation of the optical self-switching of unidirectional distributively coupled waves (1996)

Theoretical fundamentals of the phenomenon of optical self-switching of unidirectional distributively coupled waves (UDCW) with the linear coupling coefficient have been given in Ref. [1]. The present review deals with experimental examination of this striking phenomenon and pulse self-switching events along with the theory of UDCW self-switching in the case of a nonlinear coupling coefficient.
New strategies for diagnosis and management of celiac disease. (2006)

Celiac disease is a gastrointestinal disorder characterized by inflammation, leading to injury to the mucosal lining of the small intestine. The inflammation occurs when gliadin, a protein found in such gluten-containing foods as wheat, rye, and barley, is ingested by genetically susceptible individuals. The mucosal damage and subsequent malabsorption of nutrients leads to various complications. Researchers estimate that more than 2 million people in the United States have celiac disease-a prevalence that is greater than was previously believed. Approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed annually with celiac disease. Until recently, diagnosis has been complicated by the fact that the indicators of celiac disease are nonspecific. However, because of the development of new, easy-to-administer serology tests, diagnosis has become much less complicated. After conducting a review of the literature, the authors recommend a serologic testing sequence for diagnosis of celiac disease and urge that adults and children with an assortment of symptoms be tested for this disease. Common signs and symptoms of celiac disease include anemia, arthralgia, fatigue, infertility, neuropathy, and weight loss, in addition to such gastrointestinal symptomatology as abdominal pain, anorexia, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. The only treatment for patients with celiac disease remains a gluten-free diet.
Influenza C and D Viruses Package Eight Organized Ribonucleoprotein Complexes (2018)

Influenza A and B viruses have eight-segmented, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA genomes, whereas influenza C and D viruses have seven-segmented genomes. Each genomic RNA segment exists in the form of a ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) in association with nucleoproteins and an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase in virions. Influenza D virus was recently isolated from swine and cattle, but its morphology is not fully studied. Here, we examined the morphological characteristics of D/bovine/Yamagata/10710/2016 (D/Yamagata) and C/Ann Arbor/50 (C/AA), focusing on RNPs packaged within the virions. By scanning transmission electron microscopic tomography, we found that more than 70% of D/Yamagata and C/AA virions packaged eight RNPs arranged in the "1+7" pattern as observed in influenza A and B viruses, even though type C and D virus genomes are segmented into only seven segments. These results imply that influenza viruses generally package eight RNPs arranged in the "1+7" pattern regardless of the number of RNA segments in their genome.<b>IMPORTANCE</b> The genomes of influenza A and B viruses are segmented into eight segments of negative-sense RNA, and those of influenza C and D viruses are segmented into seven segments. For progeny virions to be infectious, each virion needs to package all of their genomic segments. Several studies support the conclusion that influenza A and B viruses selectively package eight distinct genomic RNA segments; however, the packaging of influenza C and D viruses, which possess seven segmented genomes, is less understood. By using electron microscopy, we showed that influenza C and D viruses package eight RNA segments just as influenza A and B viruses do. These results suggest that influenza viruses prefer to package eight RNA segments within virions independent of the number of genome segments.
Optimization of a nanotechnology based antimicrobial platform for food safety applications using Engineered Water Nanostructures (EWNS) (2016)

A chemical free, nanotechnology-based, antimicrobial platform using Engineered Water Nanostructures (EWNS) was recently developed. EWNS have high surface charge, are loaded with reactive oxygen species (ROS), and can interact-with, and inactivate an array of microorganisms, including foodborne pathogens. Here, it was demonstrated that their properties during synthesis can be fine tuned and optimized to further enhance their antimicrobial potential. A lab based EWNS platform was developed to enable fine-tuning of EWNS properties by modifying synthesis parameters. Characterization of EWNS properties (charge, size and ROS content) was performed using state-of-the art analytical methods. Further their microbial inactivation potential was evaluated with food related microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Listeria innocua, Mycobacterium parafortuitum, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae inoculated onto the surface of organic grape tomatoes. The results presented here indicate that EWNS properties can be fine-tuned during synthesis resulting in a multifold increase of the inactivation efficacy. More specifically, the surface charge quadrupled and the ROS content increased. Microbial removal rates were microorganism dependent and ranged between 1.0 to 3.8 logs after 45 mins of exposure to an EWNS aerosol dose of 40,000 #/cm(3).
Grid-free out-of-core voxelization to sparse voxel octrees on GPU (2015)

In this paper, we present the first grid-free, out-of-core GPU voxelization method. Our method combines efficient parallel triangle voxelization on GPU with out-of-core technologies in order to allow the processing of scenes with large triangle counts at a high resolution. We directly generate the voxelized data in a sparse voxel octree (SVO) representation, without any intermediate grid structure ("grid-free"). We apply triangle preprocessing and avoid atomic operations, thus leading to an optimized balanced GPU workload and efficient parallel triangle processing. Compared to existing out-of-core CPU approaches, we manage a proper handling of voxel attributes, i.e. all triangle attributes contributing to a voxel are accessible when calculating the voxel attribute.
Stereo width control using interpolation and extrapolation of time-frequency representation (2006)

This paper presents a method to control the stereo stage width to provide additional functionality to a stereophonic sound-field recording/reproduction system that uses two microphones and two loudspeakers. The proposed method interpolates or extrapolates the time-frequency representations of the left and right stereo signals according to the desired scaling magnification. A mathematical analysis is introduced that clarifies the scaling ability of the proposed method. Listening tests using a stereo signal consisting of a mixture of two speech signals with different time-lags are performed. The results indicate that the two stereo signals yield almost the same aural impression when the scaling magnification is under two and the following two requirements are satisfied. 1) The time-lags in the stereo signal are scaled strictly before mixing. 2) The time-lags are scaled approximately by the proposed method after mixing. The listening tests also clarified the superiority of the proposed method in terms of the sound quality with respect to conventional methods.
Implementation of Pointer Logic for Automated Verification (2008)

As the security of software is deeply valued while its complexity and size are increasing, automated verification is highly desirable. On the other hand, verification of pointer programs remains a major challenge. In our previous work pointer logic has been proposed to verify basic safety properties of pointer programs, and in this work, we developed efficient algorithms and techniques to implement pointer logic rules for automated verification. The algorithms and techniques are dedicated to reducing the human effort involved in program verification. Moreover, they have been implemented in a tool -- PLCC to automatically verify a range of non-trivial programs such as basic operations on singly-linked lists, trees, circular doubly-linked list etc. and the experimental results show that in acceptable time pointer logic can be applied to automated verification.
Receptor Tyrosine Kinases Activate Canonical WNT/β-Catenin Signaling via MAP Kinase/LRP6 Pathway and Direct β-Catenin Phosphorylation (2012)

Receptor tyrosine kinase signaling cooperates with WNT/β-catenin signaling in regulating many biological processes, but the mechanisms of their interaction remain poorly defined. We describe a potent activation of WNT/β-catenin by FGFR2, FGFR3, EGFR and TRKA kinases, which is independent of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Instead, this phenotype depends on ERK MAP kinase-mediated phosphorylation of WNT co-receptor LRP6 at Ser1490 and Thr1572 during its Golgi network-based maturation process. This phosphorylation dramatically increases the cellular response to WNT. Moreover, FGFR2, FGFR3, EGFR and TRKA directly phosphorylate β-catenin at Tyr142, which is known to increase cytoplasmic β-catenin concentration via release of β-catenin from membranous cadherin complexes. We conclude that signaling via ERK/LRP6 pathway and direct β-catenin phosphorylation at Tyr142 represent two mechanisms used by various receptor tyrosine kinase systems to activate canonical WNT signaling.
Undoped TiO2 and nitrogen-doped TiO2 thin films deposited by atomic layer deposition on planar and architectured surfaces for photovoltaic applications (2014)

Undoped and nitrogen doped TiO2 thin films were deposited by atomic layer deposition on planar substrates. Deposition on 3D-architecture substrates made of metallic foams was also investigated to propose architectured photovoltaic stack fabrication. All the films were deposited at 265 °C and nitrogen incorporation was achieved by using titanium isopropoxide, NH3 and/or N2O as precursors. The maximum nitrogen incorporation level obtained in this study was 2.9 at. %, resulting in films exhibiting a resistivity of 115 Ω cm (+/−10 Ω cm) combined with an average total transmittance of 60% in the 400–1000 nm wavelength range. Eventually, TiO2 thin films were deposited on the 3D metallic foam template.
Networked Control Systems: A time-delay approach (2014)

Networked control systems (NCSs) are spatially distributed systems for which the communication between sensors, actuators, and controllers is supported by a shared communication network. This paper gives an overview of the time-delay approach to NCSs. Firstly, the modelling on the Networked Control Systems (NCSs) with one sensor node is recalled. Then, for the NCSs with distributed sensor nodes and Round-Robin (RR) protocol, the closed-loop system can be presented as a switched system with multiple ordered delays. Next, a continuous-time hybrid system model for the closed-loop system, where time-varying delays appear in the dynamics and in the reset equations, is introduced to NCSs under RR and Try-Once-Discard (TOD) protocols. Lastly, the hybrid system modelling for the closed-loop system is extended to the discrete-time case. Differently from other approaches to NCSs in the presence of scheduling protocols (in the frameworks of hybrid and discrete-time systems), the time-delay approach allows the communication delays to be greater than the sampling intervals.

Multiple defects in arachidonate metabolism in alveolar macrophages from young asymptomatic smokers. (1989)

This study was undertaken to localize and determine the relative importance of potential biochemical defects in the release and metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) in alveolar macrophages (AMs) from asymptomatic smokers. Using high-performance liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassay, we compared the metabolism of both endogenously released and exogenously supplied AA in AMs and autologous peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) from nine healthy nonsmokers and eight healthy smokers. AMs from both groups incorporated similar amounts of radiolabeled AA into cellular lipids. However, AMs from smokers released only about half as much radioactivity as free AA and its metabolites in response to ionophore A23187, when compared to cells from nonsmokers; this suggests that net phospholipase activity was decreased in smokers. In addition, AMs from smokers synthesized less of total cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase products than did cells from nonsmokers, both constitutively and in response to A23187 as well as the particulate agonist zymosan. Furthermore the metabolism of exogenous AA to both cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase products was reduced in smoker cells compared to nonsmoker cells. Inverse relationships between eicosanoid synthesis and intensity of smoking were observed. No differences between smoker and nonsmoker PBMs were found. These results show that the major defect in smoker AMs is at the phospholipase level, with additional defects being present at the levels of the cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathways. All these abnormalities are compartmentalized to the mononuclear phagocyte population of the lung.
Ryanodine Receptor Mutations Associated With Stress-Induced Ventricular Tachycardia Mediate Increased Calcium Release in Stimulated Cardiomyocytes (2003)

Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum mediated by the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is a fundamental event in cardiac muscle contraction. RyR2 mutations suggested to cause defective Ca2+ channel function have recently been identified in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) affected individuals. We report expression of three CPVT-linked human RyR2 (hRyR2) mutations (S2246L, N4104K, and R4497C) in HL-1 cardiomyocytes displaying correct targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum. N4104K also localized to the Golgi apparatus. Phenotypic characteristics including intracellular Ca2+ handling, proliferation, viability, RyR2:FKBP12.6 interaction, and beat rate in resting HL-1 cells expressing mutant hRyR2 were indistinguishable from wild-type (WT) hRyR2. However, Ca2+ release was augmented in cells expressing mutant hRyR2 after RyR activation (caffeine and 4-chloro-m-cresol) or beta-adrenergic stimulation (isoproterenol). RyR2:FKBP12.6 interaction remained intact after caffeine or 4-CMC activation, but was dramatically disrupted by isoproterenol or forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase. Isoproterenol and forskolin elevated cyclic-AMP to similar magnitudes in all cells and were associated with equivalent hyperphosphorylation of mutant and WT hRyR2. CPVT-linked mutations in hRyR2 did not alter resting cardiomyocyte phenotype but mediated augmented Ca2+ release on RyR-agonist or beta-AR stimulation. Furthermore, equivalent interaction between mutant and WT hRyR2 and FKBP12.6 was demonstrated.

We do have a process to approximate deletion which we follow only in rare cases where the DOI has been genuinely created in error, and most crucially, if the DOI has never been published anywhere online or in print and never otherwise distributed to or communicated with anyone (authors, readers, reviewers, etc.
FcεRI Induces the Tryptophan Degradation Pathway Involved in Regulating T Cell Responses (2002)

FcepsilonRI is suspected to play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of atopic disorders such as atopic dermatitis. In search for genes differentially regulated by FcepsilonRI on APCs, a differential cDNA bank of receptor-stimulated and unstimulated monocytes was established. By means of suppression subtractive hybridization, we identified kynurenine 3-monooxygenase and subsequently indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) to be overexpressed in FcepsilonRI-activated monocytes. IDO is the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of the essential amino acid tryptophan. We show that cross-linking of FcepsilonRI on monocytes results in low tryptophan concentrations associated with impaired T cell stimulatory capacity. Importantly, T cell suppression could be prevented by the addition of tryptophan or inhibition of IDO. Moreover, stimulation of T cells by FcepsilonRI-activated monocytes was increased compared with T cell stimulation by nonactivated monocytes if exogenous supply of tryptophan was available. We speculate that the expression of IDO by FcepsilonRI(+) APCs in vivo allows these cells to regulate T cell responses in atopic disorders by inhibiting or stimulating T cell proliferation, depending on the metabolic environment.
MBS zone configuration schemes for wireless multicast and broadcast service (2010)

Abstract The Multicast Broadcast Service (MBS) zone technology is proposed to provide MBS with high QoS on Mobile Communications Networks (MCNs). An MBS zone consists of a group of Base Stations (BSs) synchronized to transmit the same MBS content using the same multicasting channel, which potentially reduces the time delay for Mobile Stations (MSs) to handoff between different BSs in the same MBS zone. However, significant time delay still incurs while MSs handoff between different BSs belonging to different MBS zones (i.e., the inter‐MBS zone handoff). To reduce the possibility for the inter‐MBS zone handoff, we may increase the size of an MBS zone (i.e., more BSs contained in an MBS zone), which may result in poor multicasting channel utilization. This paper proposes the OverLapping Scheme (OLS) and the Enhanced OverLapping Scheme (EOLS) for more flexible MBS zone configuration to get better performance for MBS in terms of QoS and radio resource utilization. We propose the analytical models for the original MBS zone technology (namely the Basic scheme), and the OLS scheme, which are validated against the simulation experiments. Based on the simulation results, we investigate the performance for the Basic scheme, the OLS scheme, and the EOLS scheme. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
