Direct Observation of Cobalt−Carbon Bond Formation in the Catalytic Chain Transfer Polymerization of Methyl Acrylate Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (2000)

A preliminary study into the mechanism of catalytic chain transfer polymerization of methyl acrylate with BF2-bridged cobaloxime is reported. The reaction kinetics indicate two distinct phases of the reaction: an induction time followed by a steady-state polymerization. In the polymerization phase chain transfer occurs. Low molecular weight polymer chains formed during the induction period were isolated and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI). The MALDI spectra clearly indicated poly(methyl acrylate) chains bound to a single cobaloxime molecule. The poly(methyl acrylate)−Co chains were then further reacted with α-methylstyrene at 60 °C. MALDI analyses of the polymer from the second reaction stage indicated a displacement of cobaloxime from the chain end by an α-methylstyrene unit.
A study of collagen-hyaluronan interaction through swelling in polyacrylamide gels. (1995)

The equilibrium swelling of biopolymer loaded polyacrylamide gels can yield information on polymer-polymer interactions. Using the temperature dependence of excess equilibrium swelling, equations were derived to yield homopolymer as well as heteropolymer interactions. Hyaluronan and collagen (Type I) encapsulated in polyacrylamide gels showed increasing isothermal swelling with increase in the bipolymer concentration. The pH dependence of isothermal swelling caused by hyaluronan indicated that the swelling was largely due to repulsion of the charges of the carboxylate groups. Temperature dependent studies showed a decrease in swelling with an increase in temperature for collagen. The opposite trend was found for hyaluronan. This indicates that the interactions among collagen monomers are largely hydrophobic, while the interactions among hyaluronan molecules are mainly hydrogen bonding and repulsive ionic forces. Combined hyaluronan and collagen in polyacrylamide gels demonstrated an increase in swelling with an increase in temperature albeit much reduced compared with hyaluronan alone. Collagen interacts with hyaluronan through ionic attraction.
Methodology for Testing Thermoelectric Materials and Devices (1995)

A method was developed in the early 1960s by Harman and Honigt for testing the AC resistance and figure-of-merit, Z, of a thermoelectric material sample. This method provided a direct measurement of Z, but lacked precision and reproductibility, primarily due to the mechanical and electronic limitations of the instrumentation. A new method has been developed which is based on a similar concept but has some fundamental differences which give rise to improvements in accuracy and reproducibility. The fundamental similarity is that both techniques are designed to resolve the voltage components of a thermoelectric device. The fundamental difference is that the Harman1 method does this by measuring the resistive component, whereas the new method measures the Seebeck component. This new test method presented in this chapter is referred to as the test method. The TRANSIENT method applies to completed, modular devices as well as individual thermoelectric material samples. It provides for the direct measurement of all the parameters needed to characterize the thermoelectric properties of materials or devices under test. The key to the TRANSIENT method is a computer-driven, high-speed, high-resolution, integrating voltage measurement system which is capable of accurately resolving the voltage components in an active thermoelectric device or sample. The subsequent computer analysis yields values for the Seebeck coefficient, a, electrical resistivity, p, thermal conductivity, X, and figure-of-merit, Z. These parameters are measured simultaneously on the same sample via an absolute method which requires no reference or standard material for comparison. Data are presented illustrating the application of this method over a wide temperature range with an extremely high level of reproducibility.
Effects of Si thermal oxidation on B diffusion in Si and strained Si1−<i>x</i>Ge<i>x</i> layers (1995)

Silicon thermal oxidation was used to characterize the interaction of Si interstitials with a Si1−xGex layer and with B in Si1−xGex. Diffusion of B in a Si marker layer, positioned under a Si1−xGex layer, was monitored as excess Si interstitials were injected into the bulk by the oxidation of the Si capping layer (T=850 °C, t=18 min). The Si1−xGex layer did not affect the oxidation-enhanced diffusion of B in the Si marker layer. Hence, Si1−xGex (x&lt;0.30) does not appear to be a strong sink for Si interstitials. In addition, the enhancement from Si thermal oxidation (T=800 °C, t=60 min) of the measured B diffusivity in Si1−xGex is similar to that in Si. This indicates that, as in Si, the mechanism for B diffusion in Si1−xGex (x&lt;0.18) primarily involves Si interstitials.
'Halal', Rue Sainte (2005)

A snack bar, halal. A blond girl is serving. A rarity, in a southern Mediterranean town. It's why I came in, in fact. No swarthy men, thumbs hooked into their belts, thrusting their pelvises around, pushing their hips out in shop-window dummy poses (what do they think we're shopping for?). Some days, with the whistles, the hisses, the stares and compliments, self-consciousness runs like an insect up and down your back, scratching at your neck, it itches...
A New Self-Piercing Riveting Process and Strength Evaluation (2005)

Self-piercing riveting (SPR) has become an important alternative joining technique for the automotive applications of aluminum sheets. Most existing SPR machines use electrical motors to drive a rivet into the sheets. A significant amount of research has been conducted to improve an SPR joint’s strength by increasing the mechanical interlock. In this paper, a new process is presented using gunpowder to drive the riveting process. A joint formed using the new process has different geometric characteristics from one created using a conventional system. The tensile-shear, cross-tension, fatigue, and impact performances of self-piercing riveted joints using the new device are compared to those of spot-welded joints on aluminum sheets. The experiment has proven that the new SPR joints have provided a similar or higher strength than resistance spot welds.
Abstract LB169: Systemic Administration of an antibody/RNA complex results in tumor specific delivery of immunostimulatory RNAs and tumor growth suppression in a mouse model of melanoma (2021)

Abstract There is intense interest in the development of nucleic acid ligands for immune stimulation of the tumor microenvironment via pattern recognition receptors, especially for the treatment of “cold” tumors. However, delivery of these ligands in a tumor-specific manner to avoid systemic toxicity has been a challenge. Many current efforts rely on direct intra-tumoral injection of RNAs or other stimulatory immune ligands, which is therapeutically sub-optimal, especially for metastatic disease. Here we report studies evaluating the utility of a lupus-derived, cell-penetrating antibody, to deliver nucleic acids including mRNA to tumors in vivo. This antibody, a modified version of 3E10-D31N, forms non-covalent complexes with RNAs and can mediate highly specific delivery broadly into tumors via intravenous injection by targeting the nucleoside transporter ENT2. Studies with labeled RNAs and with mRNAs expressing a GFP reporter gene show tumor specific delivery and functional expression by imaging, with minimal delivery to healthy tissues. Cell culture studies show antibody-mediated delivery of a series of RIG-I ligands, including hairpin RNAs and poly(I:C), resulting in robust RIG-I stimulation and induction of type-1 interferon signaling. Using mouse B16 melanoma tumors as a model, we observe substantial tumor growth suppression upon i.v. injection of a combination of 3E10 complexed with poly(I:C) (synthetic double-stranded RNA). These results highlight a novel approach for the systemic delivery of immunostimulatory RNAs in a targeted manner that may offer treatment advantages over current approaches.

Route and spectrum selection in dynamic spectrum networks (2006)

Efficient spectrum allocation in dynamic spectrum systems is a challenging problem, particularly for multi-hops transmissions. The inter-dependence between route selection and spectrum management makes it important to examine interaction between the two and the corresponding performance and com- plexity tradeoffs. In this paper, we explore two design method- ologies: a decoupled design where these tasks are carried out independently by different protocol layers, and a collaborative design that integrates them into a single task. Experimental results show that the collaborative design, if well-provisioned, offers significant performance improvement compared to the decoupled design. I. INTRODUCTION

Development of a Novel Compressed Index-Query Web Search Engine Model (2011)

In this paper, the authors present a description of a new Web search engine model, the compressed index-query (CIQ) Web search engine model. This model incorporates two bit-level compression layers implemented at the back-end processor (server) side, one layer resides after the indexer acting as a second compression layer to generate a double compressed index (index compressor), and the second layer resides after the query parser for query compression (query compressor) to enable bit-level compressed index-query search. The data compression algorithm used in this model is the Hamming codes-based data compression (HCDC) algorithm, which is an asymmetric, lossless, bit-level algorithm permits CIQ search. The different components of the new Web model are implemented in a prototype CIQ test tool (CIQTT), which is used as a test bench to validate the accuracy and integrity of the retrieved data and evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The test results demonstrate that the proposed CIQ model reduces disk space requirements and searching time by more than 24%, and attains a 100% agreement when compared with an uncompressed model.
Genomic splice-site analysis reveals frequent alternative splicing close to the dominant splice site (2006)

Alternative pre-mRNA splicing may be the most efficient and widespread mechanism to generate multiple protein isoforms from single genes. Here, we describe the genomic analysis of one of the most frequent types of alternative pre-mRNA splicing, alternative 5'- and 3'-splice-site selection. Using an EST-based alternative splicing database recording >47,000 alternative splicing events, we determined the frequency and location of alternative 5'- and 3'-splice sites within the human genome. The most common alternative splice sites used in the human genome are located within 6 nucleotides (nt) of the dominant splice site. We show that the EST database overrepresents alternative splicing events that maintain the reading frame, thus supporting the concept that RNA quality-control steps ensure that mRNAs that encode for potentially harmful protein products are destroyed and do not serve as templates for translation. The most frequent location for alternative 5'-splice sites is 4 nt upstream or downstream from the dominant splice site. Sequence analysis suggests that this preference is a consequence of the U1 snRNP binding sequence at the 5'-splice site, which frequently contains a GU dinucleotide 4 nt downstream from the dominant splice site. Surprisingly, approximately 50% of duplicated 3'-YAG splice junctions are subject to alternative splicing. This high probability of alternative 3'-splice-site activation in close proximity of the dominant 3'-splice site suggests that the second step of the splicing may be prone to violate splicing fidelity.

Uptake and release of free <scp>l</scp> -carnitine by boar epididymal spermatozoa <i>in vitro</i> and subsequent acetylation rate (1994)

In the male reproductive tract, very high concentrations (mmol l-1) of free L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine are found in the epididymides, seminal plasma and spermatozoa. It has been reported that the uptake of free L-carnitine by spermatozoa might be related to the epididymal maturation of the sperm membrane, since a greater uptake was found by caput than by cauda spermatozoa in vitro. However, the free L-carnitine concentrations estimated inside the gametes were never greater than those of the surrounding medium. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of transport of free L-carnitine and its ester acetyl-L-carnitine, through the plasma membrane of mature and immature epididymal boar spermatozoa. In vitro, we found a passive diffusion of both compounds to the spermatozoa, whatever the maturation stage. The spermatozoa might progress in the epididymal lumen and accumulate high amounts of free L-carnitine. The active uptake of free L-carnitine occurs only across epididymal mucosa. These results are in agreement with those reported on cells of other organs that exchange pharmacological free L-carnitine concentrations (mmol l-1) by a passive mechanism through the plasma membrane. The acetylation of high amounts of free L-carnitine inside the spermatozoa was found only in caudal spermatozoa. This result suggests that oxidative metabolism (producing acetyl CoA) might be more active in mature cells. The acetyl-L-carnitine added to the incubation medium of boar spermatozoa was hydrolysed. Enzymatic activity of the sperm membrane is low and this may partially explain the low concentrations of acetyl-L-carnitine found in the caudal epididymal plasma.
Short Time Thermal Processing: From Electronics via Photonics to Pipe Organs of the 17<sup>th</sup> Century (2008)

There is a clear and increasing interest in short time thermal processing far below one second, i.e. the lower limit of RTP (Rapid Thermal Processing) called spike annealing. It is the world of processing in the millisecond or nanosecond range. This was driven by the need of suppressing the so-called Transient Enhanced Diffusion in advanced boron-implanted shallow pnjunctions in the front-end silicon chip technology. Meanwhile the interest in flash lamp annealing (FLA) in the millisecond range spread out into other fields related to silicon technology and beyond. This paper reports shortly about the restart in flash lamp annealing of the Rossendorf group in collaboration with the Mattson group and further on recent experiments regarding shallow junction engineering in germanium, annealing of ITO (indium tin oxide) layers on glass and plastic foil to form an conductive layer as well as investigations which we did during the last years in the field of wide band gap semiconductor materials (SiC, ZnO). Moreover recent achievements in the field of silicon-based light emission basing on Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Light Emitting Devices will be reported. Finally it will be demonstrated that the basic principle of short time thermal processing, i.e. surface heating on a colder bulk, features also advantages regarding the casting of lead sheets to produce organ pipes in the spirit of the 17th century.
Dependency Tracking for Risk Mitigation in Machine Learning (ML) Systems (2022)

In a Machine Learning (ML) system, characteristics of the ML components create new challenges for software system design and development activities. Data-dependent behavior causes risks in ML systems. Dealing with such risks in the development phase requires non-trivial costs due to un-controllable data generation processes in the test phase. In addition, ML systems often need continuous monitoring and validation in run-time. In this paper, we propose an integrated dependency tracking system that balances the cost and risks in the development stage and operation stage. Our solution uses blockchain (an immutable data store) to track the co-evolution of the models and the corresponding datasets. The provenance of data and models provides a trustworthy trace for dependencies between datasets and models at the development phase, and predictions at the operation phase. A graph database is used to provide visualization and query of the provenance information, and enables explainability for the model-data co-evolution.

A Novel Distributed Brillouin Sensor Based on Optical Differential Parametric Amplification (2010)

We propose and demonstrate a novel distributed sensor based on coherent interaction of the Brillouin gain and loss via optical differential parametric amplification (ODPA), which provides narrowed parametric Brillouin gain spectrum, strong Brillouin signal via differential gain, and short measurement time simultaneously. In experiment, a 0.5 m spatial resolution with a strain accuracy of 6 με is realized by using 20/15 ns Stokes and anti-Stokes pulse pair in a 15 m polarization-maintaining fiber. The spectrum narrowing phenomenon in ODPA Brillouin sensor is discussed.
Out-of-Domain Human Mesh Reconstruction via Dynamic Bilevel Online Adaptation (2022)

We consider a new problem of adapting a human mesh reconstruction model to out-of-domain streaming videos, where the performance of existing SMPL-based models is significantly affected by the distribution shift represented by different camera parameters, bone lengths, backgrounds, and occlusions. We tackle this problem through online adaptation, gradually correcting the model bias during testing. There are two main challenges: First, the lack of 3D annotations increases the training difficulty and results in 3D ambiguities. Second, non-stationary data distribution makes it difficult to strike a balance between fitting regular frames and hard samples with severe occlusions or dramatic changes. To this end, we propose the Dynamic Bilevel Online Adaptation algorithm (DynaBOA). It first introduces the temporal constraints to compensate for the unavailable 3D annotations and leverages a bilevel optimization procedure to address the conflicts between multi-objectives. DynaBOA provides additional 3D guidance by co-training with similar source examples retrieved efficiently despite the distribution shift. Furthermore, it can adaptively adjust the number of optimization steps on individual frames to fully fit hard samples and avoid overfitting regular frames. DynaBOA achieves state-of-the-art results on three out-of-domain human mesh reconstruction benchmarks.

Detailed Glycan Structural Characterization by Electronic Excitation Dissociation (2013)

The structural complexity and diversity of glycans parallel their multilateral functions in living systems. To better understand the vital roles glycans play in biological processes, it is imperative to develop analytical tools that can provide detailed glycan structural information. This was conventionally achieved by multistage tandem mass spectrometry (MS(n)) analysis using collision-induced dissociation (CID) as the fragmentation method. However, the MS(n) approach lacks the sensitivity and throughput needed to analyze complex glycan mixtures from biological sources, often available in limited quantities. We define herein the critical parameters for a recently developed fragmentation technique, electronic excitation dissociation (EED), which can yield rich structurally informative fragment ions during liquid chromatographic (LC)-MS/MS analysis of glycans. We further demonstrate that permethylation, reducing end labeling and judicious selection of the metal charge carrier, can greatly facilitate spectral interpretation. With its high sensitivity, throughput, and compatibility with online chromatographic separation techniques, EED appears to hold great promise for large-scale glycomics studies.
