The synthesis, characterisation and thermal behaviour of functionalised aryl cyanate ester monomers (1992)

Abstract The syntheses of several functionalised aryl cyanate esters bearing reactive allyl groups are presented. The monomers were purified (to c . 98%) using preparative HPLC and a range of techniques, including heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, was employed in their characterisation. A model functionalised aryl cyanate ester was doped with a variety of additives and the resulting thermal behaviour examined using dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Furthermore, the postulated co‐reaction of the model functionalised cyanate ester with bis‐maleimides was investigated using heteronuclear NMR and dynamic mechanical techniques.
Situation Awareness-Oriented Cybersecurity Education (2018)

This Research to Practice Full Paper presents a new methodology in cybersecurity education. In the context of the cybersecurity profession, the `isolation problem' refers to the observed isolation of different knowledge units, as well as the isolation of technical and business perspectives. Due to limitations in existing cybersecurity education, professionals entering the field are often trapped in microscopic perspectives, and struggle to extend their findings to grasp the big picture in a target network scenario. Guided by a previous developed and published framework named “cross-layer situation knowledge reference model” (SKRM), which delivers comprehensive level big picture situation awareness, our new methodology targets at developing suites of teaching modules to address the above issues. The modules, featuring interactive hands-on labs that emulate real-world multiple-step attacks, will help students form a knowledge network instead of isolated conceptual knowledge units. Students will not just be required to leverage various techniques/tools to analyze breakpoints and complete individual modules; they will be required to connect logically the outputs of these techniques/tools to infer the ground truth and gain big picture awareness of the cyber situation. The modules will be able to be used separately or as a whole in a typical network security course.
Pure PEDOT:PSS hydrogels (2019)

Hydrogels of conducting polymers, particularly poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), provide a promising electrical interface with biological tissues for sensing and stimulation, owing to their favorable electrical and mechanical properties. While existing methods mostly blend PEDOT:PSS with other compositions such as non-conductive polymers, the blending can compromise resultant hydrogels' mechanical and/or electrical properties. Here, we show that designing interconnected networks of PEDOT:PSS nanofibrils via a simple method can yield high-performance pure PEDOT:PSS hydrogels. The method involves mixing volatile additive dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) into aqueous PEDOT:PSS solutions followed by controlled dry-annealing and rehydration. The resultant hydrogels exhibit a set of properties highly desirable for bioelectronic applications, including high electrical conductivity (~20 S cm<sup>-1</sup> in PBS, ~40 S cm<sup>-1</sup> in deionized water), high stretchability (> 35% strain), low Young's modulus (~2 MPa), superior mechanical, electrical and electrochemical stability, and tunable isotropic/anisotropic swelling in wet physiological environments.
Advances in cystic fibrosis gene therapy (2004)

Considerable progress has been made in understanding and overcoming the problems associated with gene transfer to airway epithelial cells, the target cells for cystic fibrosis gene therapy. It has also been recognized that novel preclinical and clinical assays are crucial for the success of cystic fibrosis gene therapy, and considerable effort is currently being put into assay development and trial designs.
Numerical simulation of SAR induced around Co‐Cr‐Mo hip prostheses in situ exposed to RF fields associated with 1.5 and 3 T MRI body coils (2011)

When patients with metallic prosthetic implants undergo an MR procedure, the interaction between the RF field and the prosthetic device may lead to an increase in specific absorption rate (SAR) in tissues surrounding the prosthesis. In this work, the distribution of SAR(10g) around bilateral CoCrMo alloy hip prostheses in situ in anatomically realistic voxel models of an adult male and female due to RF fields from a generic birdcage coil driven at 64 or 128 MHz are predicted using a time-domain finite integration technique. Results indicate that the spatial distribution and maximum values of SAR(10g) are dependent on body model, frequency, and the position of the coil relative to the body. Enhancement of SAR(10g) close to the extremities of a prosthesis is predicted. Values of SAR(10g) close to the prostheses are compliant with recommended limits if the prostheses are located outside the coil. However, caution is required when the prostheses are within the coil since the predicted SAR(10g) close to an extremity of a prosthesis exceeds recommended limits when the whole body averaged SAR is 2 W kg(-1) . Compliance with recommended limits is likely to require a reduction in the time averaged input power.
Passive harmonic mode-locking in Er-doped fiber laser based on graphene saturable absorber with repetition rates scalable to 2.22 GHz (2012)

Passive harmonic-mode locking of erbium-doped fiber laser with atomic multilayer graphene is presented. The laser could operate at several harmonics (from 2nd to 21st) of the fundamental repetition frequency of the ring resonator (106 MHz). The highest achieved repetition rate was 2.22 GHz (which corresponds to the 21st harmonic) with sub-picosecond pulse durations and over 40 dB of the supermode noise suppression. The saturable absorber was formed by multilayer graphene, mechanically exfoliated from pure graphite block through Scotch-tape and deposited on the fiber ferrule.
Creating a SAS ® Model Factory Using In-Database Analytics (2011)

With the ever-increasing number of analytical models required to make fact-based decisions, as well as increasing audit compliance regulations, it is more important than ever that these models be created, monitored, retuned, and deployed as quickly and automatically as possible. This paper, using a case study from a major UK financial organization, shows how organizations can build a model factory efficiently using the latest SAS technology that uses the power of in-database processing. It focuses on how to integrate SAS ® Enterprise Miner ™ , SAS ® Model Manager, and SAS ® Data Integration Studio, while leveraging the power of highly performant database applicances such as Teradata and Netezza.

True color blood flow imaging using a high-speed laser photography system (2012)

Physiological changes in the retinal vasculature are commonly indicative of such disorders as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Thus, various methods have been developed for noninvasive clinical evaluation of ocular hemodynamics. However, to the best of our knowledge, current ophthalmic instruments do not provide a true color blood flow imaging capability. Accordingly, we propose a new method for the true color imaging of blood flow using a high-speed pulsed laser photography system. In the proposed approach, monochromatic images of the blood flow are acquired using a system of three cameras and three color lasers (red, green, and blue). A high-quality true color image of the blood flow is obtained by assembling the monochromatic images by means of image realignment and color calibration processes. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by imaging the flow of mouse blood within a microfluidic channel device. The experimental results confirm the proposed system provides a high-quality true color blood flow imaging capability, and therefore has potential for noninvasive clinical evaluation of ocular hemodynamics.
Frame-to-frame coherent halftoning in image space (2004)

We present an interactive technique for generating halftoning animations in image space. We specifically consider a halftoning approach that uses screening methods to achieve shading, brightness, and texture by placing varying patterns. Our technique transports the screening patterns in a frame-to-frame coherent manner according to the velocity of each fragment on the image plane. We show how the algorithm is mapped to programmable graphics hardware to achieve interactive frame rates. Our approach can be used for any screening-based halftoning technique, and therefore different nonphotorealistic image-space rendering styles, including dithering, screening, stippling, and hatching, can be utilized to generate real-time frame-to-frame coherent animations
Parylene C at subambient temperatures (1988)

Abstract Dependence of Parylene C deposition rate on dimer sublimation temperature, inert gas pressure, substrate temperature, and mass of dimer has been investigated. It was found that Parylene C deposition proceeds best at ambient temperature and produces film of optimum performance. Opacity in the film results from its rough morphology and not from the incorporation of the dimer in the film as is normally thought. This was evidenced from scanning electron microscopy and from an estimation of the volatile contents of the Parylene C films. Deposition of Parylene C at liquid nitrogen temperature proceeds via trapping of active monomer species followed by spontaneous polymerization. A quantitative study of the monomer to polymer transition by ESR spectroscopy is presented.
Kinetics of mRNA and protein synthesis of genes controlled by the 1,4-beta-endoxylanase A promoter in controlled fermentations of Aspergillus awamori (1996)

In this study, induction and repression kinetics of the expression of the Aspergillus awamori 1,4-beta-endoxylanase A (exlA) gene under defined physiological conditions was analyzed at the mRNA and the protein levels. Induction was analyzed by pulsing D-xylose to a sucrose-limited continuous culture of an A. awamori 1,4-beta-endoxylanase A (EXLA)-overproducing strain. Directly after the D-xylose pulse, exIA mRNA was synthesized, and it reached a constant maximal level after 45 to 60 min. This level was maintained as long as D-xylose was present. The kinetics of mRNA synthesis of the genes encoding Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase (lplA) and Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase (uidA), which were also under the control of the exlA promoter, were similar to those observed for exlA mRNA. The repression of exlA expression was analyzed by pulsing D-glucose to a D-xylose-limited continuous culture. Immediately after the glucose pulse, the exlA mRNA level declined rapidly, with a half-life of approximately 20 to 30 min, and it reached a minimal level after 60 to 90 min. The time span between mRNA synthesis and the secretion of proteins was determined for EXLA and lipase. In both cases, mRNA became visible after approximately 7.5 min. After 1 h, both proteins became detectable in the medium but the rate of secretion of EXLA was faster than that of lipase.

HLA-DRα1 Constructs Block CD74 Expression and MIF Effects in Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (2014)

CD74, the cell-surface form of the MHC class II invariant chain, is a key inflammatory factor that is involved in various immune-mediated diseases as part of the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) binding complex. However, little is known about the natural regulators of CD74 in this context. In order to study the role of the HLA-DR molecule in regulating CD74, we used the HLA-DRα1 domain, which was shown to bind to and downregulate CD74 on CD11b(+) monocytes. We found that DRα1 directly inhibited binding of MIF to CD74 and blocked its downstream inflammatory effects in the spinal cord of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Potency of the DRα1 domain could be destroyed by trypsin digestion but enhanced by addition of a peptide extension (myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein [MOG]-35-55 peptide) that provided secondary structure not present in DRα1. These data suggest a conformationally sensitive determinant on DRα1-MOG that is responsible for optimal binding to CD74 and antagonism of MIF effects, resulting in reduced axonal damage and reversal of ongoing clinical and histological signs of EAE. These results demonstrate natural antagonist activity of DRα1 for MIF that was strongly potentiated by the MOG peptide extension, resulting in a novel therapeutic, DRα1-MOG-35-55, that within the limitations of the EAE model may have the potential to treat autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
Local SAR estimation system using solid phantom and fixed E‐field probe (2003)

Abstract We propose a local Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) estimation system using solid phantom and fixed E‐field probe for application to portable wireless devices such as cell phones. This system is constructed from a solid phantom molded from a lossy dielectric and an electric field (E‐field) probe inserted into the phantom. The advantage of this system is the ability to easily measure in a relatively short time the local SAR with measurement deviations of about ±30% compared to the measurements made by the conventional technique using a liquid phantom. First, we perform numerical analysis using the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method in the basic parameter design to clearly show the effects of the size of the insertion hole for the E‐field probe in the solid phantom and the complex dielectric permittivity on the antenna input impedance and local SAR. Next, we develop a local SAR estimation system using solid phantom and fixed E‐field probe, and measure and evaluate the antenna input impedance and local SAR of two solid phantoms having different complex dielectric permittivities. We confirmed that their properties tend to nearly agree with the calculated results. Finally, we measure the local SARs of 32 portable phones using this system. We confirmed that compared to the measurements by the E‐field probe scanning method, the measurements of about 77% of the phones have deviations within 30%, and the target measurement accuracy during development could almost be achieved. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Study of Arsenate Removal from Water Using Zero-Valent Iron Media (2001)

This study investigated the mechanisms involved in removing arsenate from drinking water supplies using zero-valent iron media. Batch experiments utilizing iron wires suspended in anaerobic arsenate solutions were performed to determine arsenate removal rates as a function of the arsenate solution concentration. Corrosion rates of the iron wires were determined as a function of elapsed time using Tafel analysis. The removal kinetics in the batch reactors were best described by a dual-rate model in which arsenate removal was pseudo-first-order at low concentrations and approached zero-order in the limit of high arsenate concentrations. The presence of arsenate decreased iron corrosion rates as compared to those in blank 3 mM CaSO4 background electrolyte solutions. However, constant corrosion rates were attained after approximately 10 days elapsed, indicating that the passivation processes had reached steady state. The cathodic Tafel slopes were the same in the arsenate and the blank electrolyte solutions. This indicates that water was the primary oxidant for iron corrosion and that arsenate did not directly oxidize the iron wires. The anodic Tafel slopes were greater in the arsenate solutions, indicating that arsenate formed complexes with iron corrosion products released at anodic sites on the iron surfaces. Ion chromatography analyses indicated that there was no measurable reduction of As(V) to As(III). X-ray absorption spectroscopy analyses indicated that all arsenic associated with the zero-valent iron surfaces was in the oxidation state. Interatomic arsenic-iron distances determined from EXAFS analyses were consistent with bidentate corner-sharing among arsenate tetrahedra and iron octahedra. Results from this study show that under conditions applicable to drinking water treatment, arsenate removal by zero-valent iron media involves surface complexation only and does not involve reduction to metallic arsenic.
Rapid prototyping of image processing workflows on massively parallel architectures (2012)

Many-core Graphics Processing Units (GPU) provide a high-performance parallel hardware platform on the desktop at an incredibly low cost. However, the widespread use of this computational capacity is hindered by the fact that programming GPUs is difficult. The state-of-the-art is to develop code utilizing the NVIDIA Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA). However, effective use of CUDA requires developers highly skilled in both low-level systems programming and parallel processing. Recognizing this roadblock to widespread adaption of General-Purpose Computing on GPUs (GPGPU), the NVIDIA Performance Primitives (NPP) library was released recently. While greatly easing the burden, utilizing NPP still requires one to learn CUDA. In this paper, we introduce a graphical environment for the design of image processing workflows that automatically generates all the CUDA code including NPP calls necessary to run the application on a GPU. Experimental results show that the generated code is almost as efficient as the equivalent hand written program and 10 times faster than running on the CPU alone in the typical case.
Enhanced Power from Chambered Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells (2007)

We describe a new chamber-based benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) that incorporates a suspended, high surface area and semi-enclosed anode to improve performance. In Yaquina Bay, OR, two chambered BMFC prototypes generated current continuously for over 200 days. One BMFC was pumped intermittently, which produced power densities more than an order of magnitude greater than those achieved by previous BMFCs with single buried graphite-plate anodes. On average, the continuous power densities with pumping were 233 mW/m2 (2.3 W/m3); peak values were 380 mW/m2 (3.8 W/m3), and performance improved over the time of the deployments. Without pumping, high power densities could similarly be achieved after either BMFC was allowed to rest at open circuit. A third chambered BMFC with a 0.4 m2 footprint was deployed at a cold seep in Monterey Canyon, CA to test the new design in an environment with natural advection. The power density increased 5-fold (140 mW/m2 vs 28 mW/m2) when low-pressure check valves allowed unidirectional flow through the chamber.

Differential expression of constitutive and inducible proteasome subunits in human monocyte‐derived DC differentiated in the presence of IFN‐<i>α</i> or IL‐4 (2008)

Several studies strongly suggest that DC differentiated in vitro in the presence of type I IFN acquire more potent immune stimulatory properties, compared with DC differentiated in vitro with IL-4. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. To address this question, we compared the Ag-processing machinery (APM) profile in human DC grown in the presence of IFN-alpha ((IFN)DC) or IL-4 ((IL-4)DC). Using a panel of APM component-specific mAb in Western blot experiments, we found that (IFN)DC preferentially express inducible proteasome subunits (LMP2, LMP7, and MECL1) both at immature and mature stages. In contrast, immature (IL-4)DC co-express both constitutive (beta1, beta2, and beta5) and inducible subunits, as shown by Western blotting analysis. In addition, immature (IFN)DC express higher levels of TAP1, TAP2, calnexin, calreticulin, tapasin, and HLA class I molecules than (IL-4)DC. The different proteasome profiles of (IFN)DC and (IL-4)DC were associated with a greater ability of (IFN)DC to present an immunodominant epitope that requires LMP7 expression for its processing. In general, these data show the impact of cytokines on APM component expression and hence the Ag-processing ability of DC.
Abarelix For Injectable Suspension: First-In-Class Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist For Prostate Cancer (2006)

Abarelix, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, with its indication for advanced symptomatic prostate cancer, represents the newest category of hormonal therapy introduced in the past 15 years. Results from Phase II and III clinical trials demonstrate the advantages of abarelix over commonly used luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy: abarelix does not cause a surge in serum testosterone that can precipitate a flare phenomenon or worsening of disease, particularly dangerous for patients with metastatic, symptomatic disease, and produces medical castration more quickly. Abarelix was also demonstrated to promptly and substantially reduce follicle-stimulating hormone levels to lower than LHRH agonist. Study results demonstrate effective anticancer responses during extended exposure to abarelix: improvements in pain score and/or analgesic use, improvements in urinary symptoms (including urinary catheter removal) and complete avoidance of bilateral orchiectomy for patients undergoing at least 12 weeks of treatment. In Phase III clinical trials, abarelix demonstrated a similar overall safety profile when compared with LHRH agonist monotherapy, and a superior safety profile when compared with LHRH agonist plus antiandrogen combination therapy. Abarelix patients experienced a greater incidence of immediate-onset systemic allergic reactions as compared with control arms.
