Vehicle anti-theft system uses radio frequency identification (1993)

Car and light van thefts are increasing alarmingly around the world and new guidelines driven by the insurance companies, are being set for vehicle manufacturers to make their products more secure. Ford has developed a new passive anti theft security system (PATS) using Texas Instruments' Registration and Identification System (TIRIS), a radio frequency technology which meets these new requirements. This new sytem is based on a tamper-proof electronic link between the driver's key and the ignition system. Each key features a tiny transponder that electronically links it to a specific vehicle. The transponder contains a unique and unalterable identification code that is accessed by radio signal from a transceiver unit in the car whenever someone tries to start the vehicle. The engine will not start unless the proper ignition key with a transponder is present, even if the ignition keylock is broken or bypassed. This method based upon radio frequency technology adds a new level of theft protection to vehicle security systems in a manner that doesn't require any effort from the drivers. In addition, this approach eliminates the normal wear and replacement of keys common to contact based security systems. >
Interdigitated 50 nm Ti electrode arrays fabricated using XeF<sub>2</sub>enhanced focused ion beam etching (2006)

The fabrication of interdigitated titanium nanoelectrode arrays of 50 nm in width and spacing is described in this work. The nanoarrays have been realized using a Ga+ focused ion beam (FIB). FIB milling is typically accompanied by redeposition of removed material, which represents an important hindrance for milling closely spaced nanostructures. Redeposition effects have been reduced by means of XeF2 gas assistance, which increases the etch yield by a factor of seven compared with pure ion milling. Furthermore, we used a simple adsorption model, which led to the conclusion that dwell time and refresh time should be <500 ns and >30 ms, respectively, for optimized XeF2 assisted Ti milling. The measured resistance R of the electrodes is higher than 1 G ohm.
Integrity of human sperm DNA assessed by the neutral comet assay and its relationship to semen parameters and clinical outcomes for the IVF-ET program (2011)

Along with the conventional semen analysis, the sperm DFI assessed using the comet assay was shown to improve the quality of the semen evaluation. To evaluate the precise effect of ICSI on pregnancy rates in the patients who demonstrate high sperm DFI values, further study is necessary.
Binding and Factor XIII <sub>a</sub> -Mediated Cross-Linking of a 27-Kilodalton Fragment of Fibronectin to <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (1980)

A 27-kilodalton tryptic fragment, derived from the amino terminus of the 200-kilodalton fibronectin subunit, inhibited binding of intact fibronectin to Staphylococcus aureus and could be cross-linked to Staphylococcus aureus by blood coagulation Factor XIIIa. Interactions of fibronectin with Staphylococcus aureus via this fragment may be important for bacterial opsonization and attachment.
Effect of Type of Dietary Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplement (Corn Oil or Fish Oil) on Immune Responses in Healthy Horses (2004)

The objective of this study was to compare effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation (corn oil or fish oil) on selected immune responses in normal horses. Two groups of horses (n = 5) were randomly assigned a dietary supplement with either 3.0% corn oil or fish oil for a period of 14 weeks. Plasma fatty acid profiles were monitored to ensure uptake of dietary fatty acids. Cell-mediated immunity was assessed by a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin test to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), and humoral immunity was assessed by measuring antibody titers to KLH. Production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and phagocytosis of latex beads by bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells were also assessed. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BALF cells from horses fed corn oil showed a higher production of PGE2 compared with those from horses fed fish oil at 6 and 12 weeks. Production of TNF-alpha by LPS-stimulated BALF cells was higher in both groups of horses at 6, 8, and 12 weeks compared with pretrial values, and phagocytic activity of BALF cells was higher at 8 and 12 weeks, however, there were no differences between the 2 groups of horses. The DTH skin test and antibody titers to KLH revealed no differences between horses fed corn or fish oil. Based on these studies, dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids modulate the inflammatory response of horses. Both fatty acid supplements increased production of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha, whereas only corn oil increased production of the proinflammatory eicosanoid PGE2 by LPS-stimulated BALF cells. It is possible that fish oil, because it did not increase production of PGE2, could have value in the treatment of equine recurrent airway obstruction or other equine inflammatory diseases.
Effects of the structures of polymerizable monomers on the electro‐optical properties of UV cured polymer dispersed liquid crystal films (2008)

Abstract Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by photopolymerization of liquid crystal (LC)/polymerizable monomers/photoinitiator composites. The effects of the structures of the polymerizable monomers on the electro‐optical properties of PDLC films were investigated. It was found that the length of the molecular chain and the rigidity and flexibility of molecules influenced the structure of the polymer network in the PDLC films somewhat, and then affected the electro‐optical properties of the composites accordingly. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Internetworking based on cell switch router-architecture and protocol overview (1997)

This paper describes an internetworking architecture and related protocol overview based on routers that have asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell switching capability in addition to conventional Internet protocol (IP) packet forwarding. The proposed architecture can provide high-throughput and low-latency switched paths for individual application flows or a group of application flows while retaining current router-based internetworking architecture. The proposed router is able to establish the switched path based on the characteristics of flows, e.g., arrival of a data packet with specific upper layer protocols or arrival of more than a certain amount of data packets in a predetermined period, as well as by the reception of an IP-layer resource reservation request, such as resource reservation protocol (RSVP). One important feature that is provided by the proposed router is interoperability with the emerging ATM network platform specified by the ATM Forum and the telecommunications sector of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T). The proposed routers can be interconnected with each other over the point-to-point synchronous optical network link as well as over the ATM network platform, which provides permanent virtual channel, virtual path, or switched virtual channel (SVC) services. That enables network carriers to provide Internet/intranet services as well as others, such as telephony, ATM/time division multiplexing leased line, or native ATM SVC services.
Discrete-time systems neuro-Riccati equation solution (2006)

In this article proposal for solving the discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation (DARE) using a multilayer recurrent neural network (RNN) approach is presented. Systems of coupled matricial nonlinear differential equations are derived describing the neural dynamics of the Neuro-riccati equation. By solving these coupled matrix equations using recurrent neural networks a symmetric and positive definite solution is obtained. Several examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposal and respective implementation.
First report of <i>Tomato brown rugose fruit virus</i> on tomato in Turkey (2019)

Since January 2019, greenhouse tomato plants growing in Demre near Antalya in the Mediterranean region of Turkey were observed to have leaves with chlorotic mosaic, mottling, rugosity and occasional narrowing (Fig. 1). Necrotic spots were observed on the peduncle, calyces and petioles and the fruit was rough with chlorotic and necrotic patches (Fig. 2). These symptoms resemble those caused by several different tomato viruses. Twenty-seven diseased tomato samples were collected from two greenhouses (of which approximately 20% of the total area of 0.7 ha was diseased) and tested by RT-PCR for the presence of Pepino mosaic virus, Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus. Since the results of these assays were all negative a generic primer set (F-3666/R-4718) was used to detect tomato-infecting tobamoviruses by RT-PCR (Luria et al., 2) and this resulted in the generation of a 1052 bp amplicon which was sequenced directly (GenBank Accession No. MK888980). BLAST analysis of the sequence of the amplicon revealed 98.0-98.9% sequence identity to isolates of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) from Germany, Israel and Jordan (KT383474, KT383474, KX619418 and MK273189). Ten plants of a commercial tomato variety, Bandita F1 (Seminis, Turkey) containing the Tm-22 resistance gene were mechanically inoculated with extracts from diseased tomato leaves. All plants developed systemic mosaic symptoms (Fig. 3) and tested positive for ToBRFV using the tobamovirus-specific primers described above. Amplicons were sequenced to confirm their identity as ToBRFV. The inoculated plants tested negative using RT-PCR with primers specific for ToMV and TMV (Kumar et al., 1). The production of winter-grown tomatoes is important to the economy of Turkey, and Antalya is the main centre of off-season production. If it is proven that ToBRFV is causing major production problems in Antalya then control measures need to be employed. This is the first report of ToBRFV infecting tomato in Turkey.
Age-Related Differences In Cell-Mediated Immunity To Varicella-Zoster Virus Among Children And Adults Immunized With Live Attenuated Varicella Vaccine (1995)

Live attenuated varicella vaccine elicits protection against varicella-zoster virus (VZV), but adults require two doses to achieve optimal seroconversion rates. To assess the potential role of cell-mediated immunity (CMI), T cell proliferation to VZV antigen was compared in children and adults. Mean stimulation indices (SI) in two cohorts of 39 children tested 6 weeks after vaccination were 28.6 +/- 6.21 and 22.1 +/- 3.84, whereas 20 adult vaccines had a mean SI of 9.1 +/- 0.99 (P = .04). Vaccinees had significant increases in CMI after a second dose of vaccine. At 1 year, VZV CMI was significantly lower in adults after two doses (10.0 +/- 1.13 vs. 15.6 +/- 1.77; P = .02), even though 82% of children received one dose. Limitations in the adult helper T cell response to VZV antigens may explain the need for booster doses to elicit effective immunity and the more frequent occurrence of varicella when adult vaccines are exposed to wild type virus.

Exploiting Reverse Direction Protocol in Full Duplex WLANs (2020)

This paper proposes the application of Reverse Direction (RD) protocol to enhance performance in future Full Duplex (FD) Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Full duplex communications in WLANs will be possible when a receiving node has frames ready for the transmitting node. This requires the receiver to decode the frame header for each and every frame in the Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) of the transmitter, in order to obtain the source and destination addresses. It is shown that, in FD-capable WLANs, this procedure may lead to suboptimal performance, reducing the benefits of FD communications. A simple and effective method, based on the usage of RD protocol, is proposed in order to enhance efficiency in future FD WLANs. The performance of the proposed solution is evaluated and compared to the standard method in terms of maximum achievable throughput.
Ex<sup>2</sup>Box: Interdependent Modes of Binding in a Two-Nanometer-Long Synthetic Receptor (2013)

Incorporation of two biphenylene-bridged 4,4'-bipyridinium extended viologen units into a para-phenylene-based cyclophane results in a synthetic receptor that is ~2 nm long and adopts a box-like geometry. This cyclophane, Ex(2)Box(4+), possesses the ability to form binary and ternary complexes with a myriad of guest molecules ranging from long π-electron-rich polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as tetracene, tetraphene, and chrysene, to π-electron-poor 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, and both the 9,10- and 1,4-anthraquinone molecules. Moreover, Ex(2)Box(4+) is capable of forming one-to-one complexes with polyether macrocycles that consist of two π-electron-rich dioxynaphthalene units, namely, 1,5-dinaphtho[38]crown-10. This type of broad molecular recognition is possible because the electronic constitution of Ex(2)Box(4+) is such that the pyridinium rings located at the "ends" of the cyclophane are electron-poor and prefer to enter into donor-acceptor interactions with π-electron-rich guests, while the "middle" of the cyclophane, consisting of the biphenylene spacer, is more electron-rich and can interact with π-electron-poor guests. In some cases, these different modes of binding can act in concert to generate one-to-one complexes which possess high stability constants in organic media. The binding affinity of Ex(2)Box(4+) was investigated in the solid state by way of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and in solution by using UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy for 12 inclusion complexes consisting of the tetracationic cyclophane and the corresponding guests of different sizes, shapes, and electronic compositions. Additionally, density functional theory was carried out to elucidate the relative energetic differences between the different modes of binding of Ex(2)Box(4+) with anthracene, 9,10-anthraquinone, and 1,4-anthraquinone in order to understand the degree with which each mode of binding contributes to the overall encapsulation of each guest.
Strongly enhanced field-dependent single-molecule electroluminescence (2002)

Individual, strongly electroluminescent Ag(n) molecules (n = 2 approximately 8 atoms) have been electrically written within otherwise nonemissive silver oxide films. Exhibiting characteristic single-molecule behavior, these individual room-temperature molecules exhibit extreme electroluminescence enhancements (>10(4) vs. bulk and dc excitation on a per molecule basis) when excited with specific ac frequencies. Occurring through field extraction of electrons with subsequent reinjection and radiative recombination, single-molecule electroluminescence is enhanced by a general mechanism that avoids slow bulk material response. Thus, while we detail strong electroluminescence from single, highly fluorescent Ag(n) molecules, this mechanism also yields strong ac-excited electroluminescence from similarly prepared, but otherwise nonemissive, individual Cu nanoclusters.
Labelling of a monoclonal antibody with <sup>68</sup>Ga using three DTPA-based bifunctional ligands and their <i>in vitro</i> evaluation for application in radioimmunotherapy (2007)

The most commonly used radiometal for dosimetry in radioimmunotherapy is 111 In. This radionuclide has suitable physical properties and its chelation chemistry is similar to that of 90 Y, which is frequently used in radiotherapy. Since imaging with a γ -ray emitting radionuclide is less accurate than PET-imaging, we evaluated the labelling of a monoclonal antibody with the β + -emitter 68 Ga and the in vitro stability of the labelled antibody in human serum. We focused our studies on the bifunctional chelators Bn-DTPA, CHX-A ′′ -DTPA, and mx-DTPA conjugated to the anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody YAML568. The incorporation of 68 Ga into the antibody is rapid for all three ligands. After 5 minutes the radiochemical yield is > 95%. The serum stability differs strongly depending on the chelator. The least stable chelate is [ 68 Ga]Bn-DTPA. After 3 h at 37°C in human serum 66% of 68 Ga is transchelated from the antibody to transferrin. The [ 68 Ga]CHX-A ′′ -DTPA chelate is kinetically more stable. 83% of 68 Ga were still chelated to the antibody after 4h in human serum. The best results were obtained using mx -DTPA. Only 5% were transchelated from the labelled antibody to transferrin after 4h in human serum. The high in vitro stability and the low transchelation tendency of the [ 68 Ga] mx -DTPA-conjugate enable the accurate determination of antibody biodistribution for dosimetry using PET in combination with conventional [ 111 In]anti-CD45 scintigraphy.
Out-of-plane coupling at mode cutoff in tapered hollow waveguides with omnidirectional reflector claddings (2008)

We describe the theoretical and experimental analysis of light propagation in tapered, air-core waveguides with omnidirectional reflector claddings. For light within the omnidirectional band, nearly vertical out-ofplane radiation at wavelength-dependent positions along the length of the taper was observed. The coupling positions correspond to the core sizes at which individual modes approach cutoff. The leaky nature and low scattering loss of the waveguides enabled the direct imaging of modal interference and standing waves. The out-coupling experiments were corroborated by in-coupling experiments and by a theoretical analysis. The mechanism described might find application to three-dimensional optical integration, on-chip spectroscopy, and wavelength division multiplexing.
Uranium Crystallization Test with Dissolver Solution of Irradiated Fuel (2007)

The crystallization process has been developed as a part of the advanced aqueous process, NEXT (New Extraction System for TRU recovery) for fast reactor (FR) cycle. In this process, a large part of U is separated from dissolver solution by crystallization as UO2(NO3)2.6H2O. The U crystallization test was carried out with real dissolver solution of irradiated FR fuel to investigate the influence of cooling rate on the crystal size and the behavior of fission product (FP) compared with that of Pu(IV). In regard to the influence of the cooling rate, it was confirmed that the crystal size was smaller as the cooling rate is faster. Although it was expectable that the decontamination performance was improved by diminishing the specific surface of the crystals, it was suggested that a large crystal produced by crystallization was not always high purity. Concerning the behavior of FPs, Eu behaved similarly to Pu(IV). Cs accompanied with U into the crystals under the condition in this test.

The oscillator strengths for the 4${f}^{1}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5${d}^{1}$ transitions of ${\mathrm{Ce}}^{3+}$ in ${\mathrm{LuPO}}_{4}$ were measured from absorption spectra and compared to calculated values. The measured oscillator strengths were found to be between 2.5 and 20 times smaller than the corresponding theoretical values. In addition, absolute cross sections for electronic Raman scattering between the levels of the 4${f}^{1}$ configuration of ${\mathrm{Ce}}^{3+}$ in ${\mathrm{LuPO}}_{4}$ were measured and found to be significantly smaller than those expected from theory. Both of these discrepancies may be explained by a reduction in the radial integral, 〈4f\ensuremath{\Vert}r\ensuremath{\Vert}5d〉, for ${\mathrm{Ce}}^{3+}$ in the solid state. Absorption data obtained from the literature for the 4${f}^{1}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5${d}^{1}$ transitions of ${\mathrm{Ce}}^{3+}$ in a number of host crystals were used to establish a correlation between the cerium-ion--ligand distance and the reduction in the 〈4f\ensuremath{\Vert}r\ensuremath{\Vert}5d〉 integral. Effects on electronic Raman scattering cross sections for rare-earth ions in crystals are discussed.
Connection allocation schemes for guaranteeing hard real-time communications with ATM network (2002)

Two technical advantages of ATM, end-to-end QoS and high bandwidth, make ATM suitable for distributed real time systems (DRTSs). However, ATM capabilities cannot be used correctly and efficiently without an adequate mapping of timing constraints of messages onto ATM services. The paper presents an approach for a "systematic" mapping of real time message attributes onto parameters, and quality of service, of ATM connections. This approach is useful for one who needs to develop a distributed real time application above ATM with only little knowledge of ATM protocols. A message scheduling algorithm based on EDF is used to deal with the sharing of an ATM connection between several message sources.
A Unified Early Stopping Criterion for Binary and Nonbinary LDPC Codes Based on Check-Sum Variation Patterns (2010)

In order to detect uncorrectable error frames and early terminate their iterative belief-propagation (BP) decoding for binary or nonbinary LDPC codes, a unified early stopping criterion using check-sum variation patterns is proposed. In addition to low computational overhead and easy choice of threshold parameters, it can be adapted to different channels. Simulation results show that the proposed criterion greatly reduces the average number of iterations (ANI) at low to medium signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) while keeping the error performance degradation negligible over a wide SNR region.
Power and Interactive Information Transmission to Implanted Medical Device Using Ultrasonic (2002)

In this paper, we propose the power supply and the bi-directional information transmission system using ultrasonic. Ultrasonic does not interfere with the electronic circuits of implanted devices and is safe for a living body. Previously, we have clarified experimentally that ultrasonic is applicable to power and information transmission. This study deals with improving information transmission speed from the inside to the outside of the body. The new system uses two transmission paths, Path 1 and Path 2. Each path consists of a pair of piezo oscillators. Path 1 transmits a carrier wave and Path 2 echoes back the inside information. As a result, the transmission speed increases to 9.6 Kbps from 600 bps without errors. Additionally, several types of information, such as text, static and motion image files can be transmitted. The proposed system can be applied to various medical applications.
