Effects of temperature, humidity and additives on the formation of biogenic amines in sucuk during Ripening and (2004)

The effects of temperature (20, 30 and 40 C), humidity (50, 65 and 80% RH) and additives on the formation of biogenic amines (tryptamine, betha-phenyl ethylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, 1,7-diamino heptane, serotonin, tyramine, spermidine and spermine) in sucuk (Turkish dry-fermented sausage) were studied during ripening and storage periods. Cadaverine was not detected in any sausage. Tryptamine,betha-phenyl ethylamine, 1,7-diamino heptane, serotonin, spermidine and spermine were the minor biogenic amines found in sucuk. The formation of tryptamine, betha-phenyl ethylamine, histamine, 1,7-diamino heptane and spermidine were affected significantly (P<0.05) by temperature and% RH during the storage. Preservatives had also a significant effect (P<0.05) on the formation of biogenic amines. The lowest putrescine formation was observed in sucuk type containing the highest amount of additives after 60 days of storage, whereas the highest putrescine formation was obtained in the control sucuk made without additives. Histamine concentration ranged from 0.0 to 242.2 mg/kg and 0.0 to 135.8 mg/kg during ripening and storage periods, respectively. In general, tryptamine formation increased during ripening and decreased during the storage periods. Temperature and % RH of the storage might be used as hurdle factors to control the formation of biogenic amines in sucuk. (A)

Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus Contributes to Enhanced Pepino Mosaic Virus Titers in Tomato Plants (2020)

The tobamovirus tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a major threat to tomato production worldwide, has recently been documented in mixed infections with the potexvirus pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) CH2 strain in traded tomatoes in Israel. A study of greenhouse tomato plants in Israel revealed severe new viral disease symptoms including open unripe fruits and yellow patched leaves. PepMV was only detected in mixed infections with ToBRFV in all 104 tested sites, using serological and molecular analyses. Six PepMV isolates were identified, all had predicted amino acids characteristic of CH2 mild strains excluding an isoleucine at amino acid position 995 of the replicase. High-throughput sequencing of viral RNA extracted from four selected symptomatic plants showed solely the ToBRFV and PepMV, with total aligned read ratios of 40.61% and 11.73%, respectively, indicating prevalence of the viruses. Analyses of interactions between the co-infecting viruses by sequential and mixed viral inoculations of tomato plants, at various temperatures, showed a prominent increase in PepMV titers in ToBRFV pre-inoculated plants and in mixed-infected plants at 18-25 °C, compared to PepMV-single inoculations, as analyzed by Western blot and quantitative RT-PCR tests. These results suggest that Israeli mild PepMV isolate infections, preceded by ToBRFV, could induce symptoms characteristic of PepMV aggressive strains.

Near-field diffraction of irregular phase gratings with multiple phase-shifts (2005)

A phase-step in a phase mask is not copied into the substrate but is split into two half-amplitude phase-shifts in the near-field because of the presence of an additional interference fringe system of the two beams diffracted from the two grating sections separated by the phase-step. In the case of multiple phase-shifts, the split phase-shifts from two adjacent phase-steps can crossover in the propagation without interfere. This paper contributes to understanding the near-field diffraction of irregular phase gratings with multiple phase-shifts, and provides a theoretical base for designing multiple phase-shifted phase masks for high channel-count phase-only sampled fiber Bragg gratings [1,2].
Thermistor Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Insertion Sites in Patients with Accessory Pathways (1995)

Radiofrequency ablation has gained acceptance in the treatment of patients with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The purpose of this study was to characterize the relation between temperature and other electroconductive parameters in patients undergoing atrial insertion accessory pathway ablation utilizing a thermistor equipped catheter. The mean temperature and power at sites of atrial insertion ablation are lower than has been previously associated with creation of radiofrequency lesions in the ventricle. While high cavitary blood flow in the atrium may result in cooling, the thinner atrial tissue may require less energy to achieve adequate heating than ventricular myocardium.
Integrating voice recognition technology with inspection of integrated circuits (2002)

Applying voice recognition technology to a manufacturing environment has provided an advanced and practical means of data collection. Accurate real-time data are gathered without the use of labor-intensive paperwork and data entry. In the manufacturing of integrated circuits at Motorola, voice technology has proved to be beneficial in the inspection process, where hands and eyes remain busy performing the primary task. The integration of voice-recognition technology with the inspection process, as implemented in the Voice Activated Data Entry System (VADES), allowed the information to be recorded and entered into a database without interruption of the inspection process. This resulted in a 23% improvement in productivity, elimination of nonvalue-added clerical tasks, and immediate availability of inspection information. Data accuracy achieved was 100%. The system received excellent acceptance from the inspectors.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Sieving for Shortest Vectors in Ideal Lattices. (2011)

Lattice based cryptography is gaining more and more importance in the cryptographic community. It is a common approach to use a special class of lattices, so-called ideal lattices, as the basis of lattice based crypto systems. This speeds up computations and saves storage space for cryptographic keys. The most important underlying hard problem is the shortest vector problem. So far there is no algorithm known that solves the shortest vector problem in ideal lattices faster than in regular lattices. Therefore, crypto systems using ideal lattices are considered to be as secure as their regular counterparts. In this paper we present IdealListSieve, a variant of the ListSieve algorithm, that is a randomized, exponential time sieving algorithm solving the shortest vector problem in lattices. Our variant makes use of the special structure of ideal lattices. We show that it is indeed possible to find a shortest vector in ideal lattices faster than in regular lattices without special structure. The practical speedup of our algorithm is linear in the degree of the field polynomial. We also propose an ideal lattice variant of the heuristic GaussSieve algorithm that allows for the same speedup.

Equipment for beam current and electron energy monitoring during industry irradiation (2002)

The electron beam irradiation sterilization is placed first among all types of medical items sterilization. The quality of sterilization is determined by value of dose, which is in one's turn determined by beam current, electron energy and beam scanning system parameters. Therefore these parameters have to be controlled during the irradiation process. The equipment for beam current and electron energy monitoring allows to control beam current, electron energy spectrum and nominal deflection of electron beam when scanning during the irradiation process each scanning period or, for example, each tenth scanning period by request. The equipment consists of an induction beam current sensor with registration equipment and two grounded electron collectors. The simplicity of this equipment allows to use it for irradiation quality monitoring practically in all electron beam irradiation technology processes.
Xenobiotic Kidney Organogenesis from Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using a Growing Rodent Embryo (2006)

Given the limits of allogenic organ transplantation, an ultimate therapeutic solution is to establish a self-organ from autologous stem cells and transplant them as syngrafts back into donor patients. It was reported previously that human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) that are cultivated in growing rodent embryos can differentiate within a spatially and temporally appropriate developmental milieu, facilitating the first step of nephrogenesis. As another step toward clinical application, the system was modified for progression to complete functional organogenesis. Rat embryos (E11.5) were isolated from uteri, and bone marrow-derived hMSC, which were transfected adenovirally with glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and retrovirally with LacZ, were implanted into the nephrogenic site. Forty-eight hours later, ureteric buds were elongated and initial branching was completed. The metanephroi were dissected out, developed further using in vitro organ culture for 24 h, transplanted into the omentum of a uninephrectomized rat, and grown for 2 wk. They enlarged and exhibited normal kidney structure and ultrastructure. hMSC-derived LacZ-positive cells were identified throughout the regenerated kidney and were morphologically identical to resident renal cells. Transplantation of developing metanephroi into the LacZ transgenic rat revealed that neo-kidney vasculature originated from the host circulation. Finally, fluid was collected from expanded ureters, and urea nitrogen and creatinine were measured. Levels were much higher in these fluids compared with transplanted rat sera (840.3 +/- 184.6 versus 30.4 +/- 10.8 and 10.1 +/- 3.1 versus 0.3 +/- 0.2 mg, respectively), suggesting that the neo-kidney may produce urine. Taken together, these findings suggest that hMSC can differentiate into a mature renal structure with the potential to replace lost kidney function.
A polylogarithmic approximation of the minimum bisection (2002)

A bisection of a graph with n vertices is a partition of its vertices into two sets, each of size n/2. The bisection cost is the number of edges connecting the two sets. Finding the bisection of minimum cost is NP-hard. We present an algorithm that finds a bisection whose cost is within ratio of O(log/sup 2/ n) from the optimal. For graphs excluding any fixed graph as a minor (e.g. planar graphs) we obtain an improved approximation ratio of O(log n). The previously known approximation ratio for bisection was roughly /spl radic/n.
Combinatorial libraries – from solution to 2D microarrays (2005)

Enzymatic modifications of split and mix libraries were followed by "pulling down" onto a 2-dimensional DNA microarray, via PNA tagging; this allowed complete library interrogation of all members of the split and mix library.
Chatbot with common-sense database (2015)

In 1950 Alan Turing introduced the famous “Turing test” which tests if a machine can be as intelligent as a human by testing if it can communicate with a person in a “human” way. Inspired by this test, numerous so called chatbots, in the form of computer programs, that manage a written dialogue have been created. A so called commonsensedatabase consists of data that most humans would know andconsider as common knowledge, something that computers generally do not know very muchabout. This report describes the process of an attempt to implement a simple chatbot using the common-sense database ConceptNet. The behaviour, or the human-likeness, of this chatbot was then compared to that of the classic chatbot ELIZA and the 2008 Loebner prize winning chatbot Elbot, through a series of user tests. The results indicate that using a common-sense database for a chatbot shows some promisefor further investigation.
Redox Regulation of Transglutaminase 2 Activity (2010)

Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) in the extracellular matrix is largely inactive but is transiently activated upon certain types of inflammation and cell injury. The enzymatic activity of extracellular TG2 thus appears to be tightly regulated. As TG2 is known to be sensitive to changes in the redox environment, inactivation through oxidation presents a plausible mechanism. Using mass spectrometry, we have identified a redox-sensitive cysteine triad consisting of Cys(230), Cys(370), and Cys(371) that is involved in oxidative inactivation of TG2. Within this triad, Cys(370) was found to participate in disulfide bonds with both Cys(230) and its neighbor, Cys(371). Notably, Ca(2+) was found to protect against formation of these disulfide bonds. To investigate the role of each cysteine residue, we created alanine mutants and found that Cys(230) appears to promote oxidation and inactivation of TG2 by facilitating formation of Cys(370)-Cys(371) through formation of the Cys(230)-Cys(370) disulfide bond. Although vicinal disulfide pairs are found in several transglutaminase isoforms, Cys(230) is unique for TG2, suggesting that this residue acts as an isoform-specific redox sensor. Our findings suggest that oxidation is likely to influence the amount of active TG2 present in the extracellular environment.
Wound Dressing in Maxillofacial Trauma. (1979)

Abstract : Biodegradable polymers of poly-L(-)lactide (R.S.V. = 0.3 and 1.3 dl/g), poly-DL-lactide and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) were prepared and blended with drugs for use in wound dressings. Three local anesthetics (procaine, benzocaine, and etidocaine), two antiseptics (iodine and cetylpyridinium chloride, CPC), an anti-inflammatory steroidal drug (hydrocortisone) and epinephrine were studied in non-woven fabirc, film, and powder forms. Drug release was measured as a function of time for 45 different polymer-drug forms. Gelatine (Gelform) and collagen (Acitene) were studied as contact hemostatic agents, imbedded into the polymer surface. Poly-L(-)lactide systems delivered anesthetics in the appropriate time frame. Fiber mats with procaine delivered 9% in one hour and 41% in one day. Films released similarly, and powders faster. Benzocaine and etidocaine were released more slowly. Benzocaine powder released 27% in one hour and 77% in one day, and etidocaine powder released 9% in one hour and 59% in one day. Iodine and epinephrine samples were labile and also quickly released their available drug. The quarternary ammonium antiseptic (CPC) systems were slower to release drug.
Amplification and Overexpression of <i>CTTN</i> ( <i>EMS1</i> ) Contribute to the Metastasis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Promoting Cell Migration and Anoikis Resistance (2006)

Gain of chromosome 11q13 is a common event in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The cortactin gene (CTTN, also EMS1), located at 11q13, plays a pivotal role in coupling membrane dynamics to cortical actin assembly. This gene has been implicated in the motility of several types of cells. In the present study, we found that the amplification and overexpression of the CTTN gene was associated with lymph node metastasis in ESCC. Functional analysis by small interfering RNA-mediated silencing of CTTN revealed that in addition to the effect on cell migration, CTTN influenced cell invasiveness by anoikis resistance. In vivo assay showed that inhibition of CTTN expression also decreased tumor growth and lung metastasis of ESCC cells. At the molecular level, we showed for the first time that the protective role of CTTN in anoikis resistance was correlated with the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway. Overall, the data suggest that CTTN is an oncogene in the 11q13 amplicon and exerts functions on tumor metastasis in ESCC.
The Quest for Rare Variants: Pooled Multiplexed Next Generation Sequencing in Plants (2012)

Next generation sequencing (NGS) instruments produce an unprecedented amount of sequence data at contained costs. This gives researchers the possibility of designing studies with adequate power to identify rare variants at a fraction of the economic and labor resources required by individual Sanger sequencing. As of today, few research groups working in plant sciences have exploited this potentiality, showing that pooled NGS provides results in excellent agreement with those obtained by individual Sanger sequencing. The aim of this review is to convey to the reader the general ideas underlying the use of pooled NGS for the identification of rare variants. To facilitate a thorough understanding of the possibilities of the method, we will explain in detail the possible experimental and analytical approaches and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. We will show that information on allele frequency obtained by pooled NGS can be used to accurately compute basic population genetics indexes such as allele frequency, nucleotide diversity, and Tajima's D. Finally, we will discuss applications and future perspectives of the multiplexed NGS approach.
Phase-change RF switches with robust switching cycle endurance (2018)

We report on the first SbTe phase-change material RF switches with a refractory TiW heater in a planar configuration. With the planar layout and heater reliability, a record switching cycle endurance of >300K was demonstrated. With on-state resistance of 0.5 ohm*mm and off-state capacitance of 75 fF/mm, the RF switch figure-of-merit (FOM) is 4.1 THz, which is 6-7 times better than state-of-the-art RF switches, including RF silicon-on-insulator technology. With further layout optimization, SbTe phase-change material RF switches could be a potential candidate for future RF switch technology.
Analyses of Polyphenols in Cacao Liquor, Cocoa, and Chocolate by Normal-Phase and Reversed-Phase HPLC (2000)

The antioxidant polyphenols in cacao liquor, a major ingredient of chocolate and cocoa, have been characterized as flavan-3-ols and proanthocyanidin oligomers. In this study, various cacao products were analyzed by normal-phase HPLC, and the profiles and quantities of the polyphenols present, grouped by molecular size (monomers to approximately oligomers), were compared. Individual cacao polyphenols, flavan-3-ols (catechin and epicatechin), and dimeric (procyanidin B2), trimeric (procyanidin C1), and tetrameric (cinnamtannin A2) proanthocyanidins, and galactopyranosyl-ent-(-)-epicatechin (2alpha-->7, 4alpha-->8)-(-)-epicatechin (Gal-EC-EC), were analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC and/or HPLC/MS. The profile of monomers (catechins) and proanthocyanidin in dark chocolate was similar to that of cacao liquor, while the ratio of flavan-3-ols to the total amount of monomeric and oligomeric polyphenols in the case of pure cocoa powder was higher than that in the case of cacao liquor or chocolate.
Mitigating the Impact of Process Variation on the Performance of 3-D Integrated Circuits (2013)

Three-dimensional die-stacking architectures have been proposed as a promising solution to the increasing interconnect delay that is observed in scaled technologies. Although prior research has extensively evaluated the performance advantage of moving from a 2-D to a 3-D design style, the impact of process parameter variations on 3-D designs has not been studied in detail. In this paper, we attempt to bridge this gap by proposing a variability-aware design framework for fully synchronous (FS) and multiple clock-domain (MCD) 3-D systems. To mitigate the impact of process variations on 3-D designs, we propose the variability-aware 3-D integration strategy for MCD 3-D systems that maximizes the probability of the design meeting specified system performance constraints. The proposed optimization strategy is shown to significantly outperform the FS and MCD 3-D implementations that are conventionally assembled, for example, the MCD designs assembled with the proposed integration strategy provide, on average, 44% and 16.33% higher absolute yield than the FS and conventional MCD designs, respectively, at the 50% yield point of the conventional MCD designs.
