Emergency Response Systems and the Creeping Legibility of People and Places (2004)

Over the last 35 years, centralized universal-number (in the United States, 9-1-1) systems have come to be the preferred means of emergency-response dispatching. The creation of these systems has motivated the development of information systems that render the landscape, to those with the right access, increasingly legible. This has been to the benefit of those receiving emergency services, but also to the benefit of police and commercial interests, who have used the improved infrastructure as bases for the creation of geodemographic and other profiling systems. More recently, the creation of wireless telephony has motivated the creation of a further surveillance infrastructure built on and integrated into that landscape. One consequence has been the commercialization of the systems in ways that permit the incorporation of more intimate and detailed data into preexisting systems. Public concern with locational surveillance systems has focused on privacy. However, “privacy” may be an inadequate frame through which to understand these issues and to fashion appropriate responses.
Monolayers as Models for Supported Catalysts:  Zirconium Phosphonate Films Containing Manganese(III) Porphyrins (2002)

Organized monolayer films of a manganese tetraphenylporphyrin have been prepared and used as supported oxidation catalysts. Manganese 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(tetrafluorophenyl-4'-octadecyloxyphosphonic acid) porphyrin (1) has been immobilized as a monolayer film by a combination of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and self-assembled monolayer techniques that use zirconium phosphonate linkages to bind the molecule to the surface. Analysis by FTIR, XPS, UV-vis and polarized optical spectroscopy show that the films consist of noninteracting molecules effectively anchored and oriented nearly parallel to the surface. The monolayer films are stable to the solvent and temperature conditions needed to explore organic oxidations. The activity of films of 1 toward the epoxidation of cyclooctene using iodosylbenzene as the oxidant was compared to that of Manganese 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin (2) and 1 under equivalent homogeneous conditions. The immobilized porphyrin 1 shows an enhanced activity relative to either homogeneous reaction. The main difference between 1 and 2 is the four alkyl phosphonate arms in 1 designed to incorporate the porphyrin within the films. The increased activity of immobilized 1 is a combination of the porphyrin structure, which prohibits the formation of mu-oxo dimers even in solution, and a change in conformation when anchored to the surface. The study demonstrates that careful monolayer studies can provide useful models for the design and study of supported molecular catalyst systems.

Influence of interleukin‐1α on androgen receptor expression and cytokine secretion by cultured human dermal papilla cells (2006)

Dermal papilla cells (DPC) control the growth character of the hair follicle through their elaboration of mitogenic factors and extracellular matrix components. Further, the dermal papilla is a primary site of androgen action in the hair follicle. Interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) is prominent in skin wounding and inflammatory responses although regarded as a negative hair growth regulator. We studied the effect of IL-1alpha and the potent androgen 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the expression of the androgen receptor (AR) and various factors secreted by cultured human temporal scalp DPC. IL-1alpha triggered cellular changes consistent with nuclear factor-kappaB pathway activation as well as reduced AR mRNA and protein expression levels for DHT-stimulated DPC. This cytokine also increased DPC supernatant keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), IL-8 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) concentrations. IL-1alpha did not influence DPC supernatant levels of transforming growth factor-beta1, a negative hair growth regulator. The stimulatory effect of IL-1alpha on DPC VEGF, GM-CSF, KGF, and IL-8 expression was also evident at the mRNA level for these cytokines. IL-1alpha also increased mRNA transcript levels of protease-nexin-1, a secreted serine protease inhibitor expressed in the dermal papilla of anagen-stage hair follicles. Although DHT did not affect supernatant cytokine concentrations, the androgen altered mRNA transcript levels of several factors for DPC co-stimulated with IL-1alpha. In consideration of its in vitro activity profile, IL-1alpha may be an important modifier of dermal papilla activity as well as potentially influence androgen-regulated gene expression in DPC.
Metabolic engineering of the <i>Lactococcus lactis </i>diacetyl pathway (1996)

Inactivation of the gene for lactate dehydrogenase caused a significant change to metabolic flux with the elimination of lactic acid as a metabolic end product and production of ethanol, formate and acetoin. Acetoin production by Idh defective L lactis growing on sugar was comparable with that by a diacetylactis biovar growing on both sugar and citrate. The overexpression of biosynthetic aacetolactate synthetase encoded by i1vBN genes also led to increased acetoin production in L lactis. The inactivation of the aldB gene encoding oe-acetolactate decarboxylase increased the production of a-acetolactate and diacetyl at the expense of acetoin.
Worldwide Human Relationships Inferred from Genome-Wide Patterns of Variation (2008)

Human genetic diversity is shaped by both demographic and biological factors and has fundamental implications for understanding the genetic basis of diseases. We studied 938 unrelated individuals from 51 populations of the Human Genome Diversity Panel at 650,000 common single-nucleotide polymorphism loci. Individual ancestry and population substructure were detectable with very high resolution. The relationship between haplotype heterozygosity and geography was consistent with the hypothesis of a serial founder effect with a single origin in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, we observed a pattern of ancestral allele frequency distributions that reflects variation in population dynamics among geographic regions. This data set allows the most comprehensive characterization to date of human genetic variation.
Rapid Prototyping of Form-driven Dialogue Systems Using an Open-source Framework (2016)

Most human-machine communication for information access through speech, text and graphical interfaces are mediated by forms -i.e. lists of named fields. However, deploying form-filling dialogue systems still remains a challenging task due to the effort and skill required to author such systems. We describe an extension to the OpenDial framework that enables the rapid creation of functional dialogue systems by non-experts. The dialogue designer specifies the slots and their types as input and the tool generates a domain specification that drives a slot-filling dialogue system. The presented approach provides several benefits compared to traditional techniques based on flowcharts, such as the use of probabilistic reasoning and flexible grounding strategies.
A STUDY ON EVALUATION METHODS OF FLOW VELOCITY IN RIVER (2017)

河川における流量観測は高水時には浮子測法が標準法として用いられてきた．しかし近年，ドップラー型や画像処理型と呼ばれる観測方法が実観測に適用されるようになってきた．それらの精度検証や適用に関する検証は行われてきたものの，観測流速そのものに着目して，それらの違いについて検討した研究は少ない． 本研究では，まず実観測において異なる観測方法で捉える流速から計算した流量の違いの実態を示した．しかし，この違いは観測流速から流量への変換する際に生じたものか？あるいは，異なる観測方法が捉えた流速は元々定義の違い流速なのか？定義の違い流速はどのぐらい差があるか？これらの問題は明にされてない．以上の点を踏まえ，本研究は観測方法ごとの流速を分類し，それらの関係について，Cauchy-Schwarzの不等式を用いて，新しく理論を導出した．その理論の検証や，定量的な評価を行うために数値計算を実施した．その結果，理論と同様に，Euler的観測においては時間平均速度の方が，Lagrange的観測においては空間平均速度の方が大きな値を示した．

Charge Induced Anisotropic Distortions of Semiconducting and Metallic Carbon Nanotubes (2002)

To accommodate extra electrons or holes injected into a single-wall carbon nanotube, carbon-carbon bonds adjust their lengths. Resulting changes in carbon-nanotube length as a function of charge injection provide the basis for electromechanical actuators. We show that a key mechanism at low injection levels, modulation of electron kinetic energy, provides nanotube deformations that are both anisotropic and strongly dependent on nanotube structure. Nanotubes can exhibit both expansion and contraction, as well as nonmonotonic size changes. The magnitude of the actuation response of semiconducting carbon nanotubes may be substantially larger than that of graphite.
Scalable multichannel MRI data acquisition system (2003)

A scalable multichannel digital MRI receiver system was designed to achieve high bandwidth echo-planar imaging (EPI) acquisitions for applications such as BOLD-fMRI. The modular system design allows for easy extension to an arbitrary number of channels. A 16-channel receiver was developed and integrated with a General Electric (GE) Signa 3T VH/3 clinical scanner. Receiver performance was evaluated on phantoms and human volunteers using a custom-built 16-element receive-only brain surface coil array. At an output bandwidth of 1 MHz, a 100% acquisition duty cycle was achieved. Overall system noise figure and dynamic range were better than 0.85 dB and 84 dB, respectively. During repetitive EPI scanning on phantoms, the relative temporal standard deviation of the image intensity time-course was below 0.2%. As compared to the product birdcage head coil, 16-channel reception with the custom array yielded a nearly 6-fold SNR gain in the cerebral cortex and a 1.8-fold SNR gain in the center of the brain. The excellent system stability combined with the increased sensitivity and SENSE capabilities of 16-channel coils are expected to significantly benefit and enhance fMRI applications.
The Use of Along String Annular Pressure Measurements to Monitor Solids Transport and Hole Cleaning (2013)

Abstract For many years the oil industry has been limited by the fact that measurements are only taken at the BHA and at surface during well construction operations. This has led to a reliance on modeling to help understand the measurements made and to understand the conditions in regions of the wellbore that are not being directly monitored. The advent of sensors that can be deployed along the drill string has created an opportunity, for the first time, for operators to observe the downhole environment not just at the BHA but throughout the entire wellbore. In order to realise the value of these measurements it is necessary to expand existing analysis techniques and develop new methods specifically designed to make use of this expanded sensor capability. BP was the first operator to commercially deploy the along-string measurement sensors in a development well (2008) and has been making use of the technology ever since. This paper presents some of the analysis methods used in these deployments as well as some of the lessons learned. It is shown that, while the addition of along-string sensors can increase the complexity of analysis, the information that can be gleaned from this data can be very valuable.
Traffic Service Position System No. 1: Busy Line Verification Feature (1980)

The Busy Line Verification feature is a recent development in the Traffic Service Position System (TSPS) No. 1. This feature allows a TSPS operator to verify the busy or idle state of a customer line. Based on a calling customer's request, the TSPS operator initiates a connection of his or her position through a dedicated switched network to a special trunk in the end office of the line to be verified. The operator can determine from a console lamp if the phone is off-hook and can listen for conversation on the line. To protect customer privacy, a special circuit scrambles the conversation to make it unintelligible — but stilt recognizable as speech. By depressing a key on the console, which deactivates the scrambler and generates an alerting tone, the operator is also able to interrupt conversation and deliver an emergency notification. The new verification feature also provides for automatic message accounting records and for coin and hotel charge quotations when tariffs include charges for verification. By serving busy line verification requests that previously had to be handled through manual switchboards, the new TSPS feature saves operator time and costs for the operating company.
Children's interpretive understanding, moral judgments, and emotion attributions: Relations to social behaviour (2009)

The study investigated interpretive understanding, moral judgments, and emotion attributions in relation to social behaviour in a sample of 59 5‐year‐old, 123 7‐year‐old, and 130 9‐year‐old children. Interpretive understanding was assessed by two tasks measuring children's understanding of ambiguous situations. Moral judgments and emotion attributions were measured using two moral rule transgressions. Social behaviour was assessed using teachers' ratings of aggressive and prosocial behaviour. Aggressive behaviour was positively related to interpretive understanding and negatively related to moral reasoning. Prosocial behaviour was positively associated with attribution of fear. Moral judgments and emotion attributions were related, depending on age. Interpretive understanding was unrelated to moral judgments and emotion attributions. The findings are discussed in regard to the role of interpretive understanding and moral and affective knowledge in understanding children's social behaviour.
Mechanism of action and selective toxicity of ascamycin, a nucleoside antibiotic (1985)

An unidentified Streptomyces sp. produces two nucleoside antibiotics, ascamycin and its dealanyl derivative. In contrast to the broad antibacterial activity of dealanylascamycin against various gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, ascamycin showed selective toxicity against Xanthomonas citri and X. oryzae. Both ascamycin and dealanylascamycin inhibited the protein synthesis of X. citri, but only dealanylascamycin inhibited that of Escherichia coli. In cell-free systems from E. coli and X. citri, both antibiotics, at ca. 0.04 micrograms/ml, inhibited the polyuridylate-directed synthesis of polyphenylalanine by ca. 50%. These data suggest that ascamycin cannot permeate the bacterial membrane. The dealanylating activity toward ascamycin was found only on the cell surface of bacteria susceptible to ascamycin. Dealanylascamycin must then have been transported into cytoplasm, where it inhibited protein synthesis.
The aesthetics of cooperation (2005)

Abstract This paper proposes that responsibility is better understood as an aesthetic rather than as an ethical construct. It suggests that aesthetics is a distinctively European way of conceptualizing ‘cooperation and responsible management’, but nevertheless finds conditions that will internationalize this conceptualization soon. It also maintains that it is how responsibility is secured that determines whether cooperation is seen as appealing or repulsive. Finding in aesthetics a measure to determine whether managers enable cooperation responsibly, it argues that the aesthetics of managing cooperation responsibly can no longer be ignored.
Visualizing and Analysing Public-Health Data Using Value-by-Area Cartograms: Toward a New Synthetic Framework (2008)

Although the first use of cartograms for visualizing public-health data can be traced back to the late 1920s, there still exists no systematic study on the effectiveness of this non-conventional cartographic technique in public health. Situated in the literature of three dominating paradigms regarding the nature of maps, this article develops a comprehensive framework for a better understanding of cartograms in public health. Using data from the US Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), we conducted a series of cognitive tests on the effectiveness of cartograms for visualizing public-health data. The effects of using cartograms in spatial statistical analysis were evaluated by comparing analytical results derived from cartograms with those based on choropleth maps. Our results indicate that a comprehensive understanding of cartograms must include cognitive, analytical, and critical dimensions.
2D IR Correlation Spectroscopy in the Determination of Aggregation and Stability of KH Domain GXXG Loop Peptide in the Presence and Absence of Trifluoroacetate (2017)

Trifluoroacetate (TFA) is a strong anion byproduct of solid-phase peptide synthesis. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy can be used to ascertain the presence of this excipient in peptide samples for quality assessment. TFA absorbs as a strong sharp peak (1675 cm<sup>-1</sup>) within the amide I' band of the spectral region. A peptide sample and the TFA excipient can be studied simultaneously by FT-IR and 2D IR correlation spectroscopies. In addition, these techniques are able to determine the effect of TFA on the stability of the peptide. Herein, we describe the spectroscopic characterization of the GXXG loop peptide (GXXGlp), which is present in KH domain containing proteins. The sequence of the Homo sapiens Krr1 GXXGlp is evolutionarily conserved (<sub>165</sub>KRRQRLIGPKGSTLKALELLTNCY<sub>189</sub>) and has been associated with ssDNA interaction and ribosome biogenesis. Our goal was to determine the structural elements present in this peptide and evaluate whether TFA affects the stability of GXXGlp during thermal stress. We observed differences in the molecular behavior of the synthetic peptide in the presence and absence of TFA at various peptide concentrations. Finally, 2D IR correlation spectroscopy was used for the determination of the unfolding process, mechanism and extent of peptide aggregation, and the effect of TFA on the stability of the peptide. This spectroscopic method can be applied to the characterization of any synthetic peptide.
Transformation of<i>Methanococcus maripaludis</i>and identification of a<i>Pst</i>I-like restriction system (1994)

An optimized polyethylene glycol (PEG) method of transformation was developed for Methanococcus maripaludis using the pKAS102 integration vector. The frequency of transformation with 0.8 μg of plasmid and 3×109 cells was 4.8×10−5 transformants cfu−1, or 1.8×105 transformants μg−1, which was four orders of magnitude greater than with the natural transformation method. A PstI restriction activity in M. maripaludis was also identified. Methylation of the plasmid with PstI methylase increased the methanococcal transformation frequency at least four-fold. Also, chromosomal DNA from M. maripaludis was resistant to digestion by the PstI endonuclease.
Recent research and applications of GPS-based monitoring technology for high-rise structures (2012)

Monitoring the response of structures, especially tall buildings, under severe loading conditions is an important requirement for the validation of their design and construction, as well as being a maintenance concern. This paper presents a review of current research and development activities (since 1995) in the field of high-rise structure health monitoring using the Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS monitoring technology and its accurate assessment method are firstly briefly described. Then, the progresses on monitoring the displacement of the high-rise structure caused by the ambient effects including wind, thermal variation, and earthquake-induced responses are discussed in details. Following that, the states of the art of augmenting the GPS monitoring technology are reviewed. Finally, existing problems and promising research efforts in the GPS-based health monitoring are given.
