Effect of solubility and miscibility on the adhesion behavior of polymer-coated carbon fibers with vinyl ester resins (2000)

Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of carbon fibers with vinyl ester resin was investigated as a function of the structure of the polymer coating on carbon fibers via microdroplet tests. For coating carbon fibers, high-performance polymers such as poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide) (PEPO), Udel® P-1700, and Ultem® 1000, water-soluble poly(hydroxy ether ethanol amine) (PHEA), water-dispersed carboxy-modified poly(hydroxy ether) (C-PHE), and water-insoluble poly(hydroxy ether) (PHE) were utilized. Adhesion of polymers to carbon fibers was also evaluated and the failure surface of the fibers was analyzed by SEM to understand the adhesion mechanism. Diffusion between polymers and vinyl ester resins was investigated and the solubility parameters of the polymers were calculated, with the results being correlated to the IFSS. A highly enhanced IFSS was obtained with PEPO coating, while marginally improved IFSS resulted from PHE, Udel®, and C-PHE coatings. However, PHEA and Ultem® coatings showed no improvement. Such results were attributed to the extent of solubility and/or miscibility of polymer coatings in vinyl ester resin, with better solubility and miscibility leading to a higher IFSS. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A method of selecting source data of pictures in the modeling of face detection (2015)

The quality of input data is quite different,some poor quality pictures will increase the rate of false alarm in the safety defense system. The purpose of this paper is to optimize these data and choose the source data for modeling the face detection system. Using the method of quantifying the picture evaluation indexes to measure the pictures with the factors influencing quality of face,such as resolution,contrast ratio,etc.,then quantify and sequence these factors,and thus derive the quality sequence of data source. In the software engineering practice,100 images were selected randomly to evaluate their quality,proving that the accuracy of evaluation reaches 95%. The data collected by the method mentioned above were optimized and then used for modeling,proving that the false alarm in the process of comparison can be reduced effectively and the accuracy of identification of safety defense system increased.
An Open-Label Phase II Randomized Trial of Topical Dexamethasone and Tacrolimus Solutions for the Treatment of Oral Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease (2016)

The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-agent dexamethasone or tacrolimus topical solution as first-line treatment for symptomatic oral chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). This was a prospective, single-center, open-label, randomized phase II trial of patients with symptomatic oral cGVHD without prior topical therapy. Subjects were randomly assigned 1:1 to either topical dexamethasone (.5 mg/mL) or tacrolimus (.5 mg/mL) solution and instructed to rinse with 5 mL for 5 minutes, 4 times a day, for 4 weeks. Oral cGVHD assessments (National Institutes of Health [NIH] criteria) were completed at baseline and end of treatment (NIH criteria, global response, and tolerability). The primary endpoint was the response rate defined as ≥3-point reduction in patient-reported sensitivity score (range, 0 to 10). A parallel 2-stage design was employed so that a less efficacious arm could be terminated early. The accrual goal was 60 evaluable patients; 30 in each arm), accruing 14 in the first stage and 16 in the second stage. If both arms were regarded as efficacious, a "pick-the-winner" method would be employed to choose a better treatment for future investigation. Forty-six subjects were randomized to receive either dexamethasone (n = 28) or tacrolimus (n = 18). Six subjects were excluded from the analysis because of changes in systemic immunosuppression (dexamethasone = 1, tacrolimus = 3) or lack of end-of-treatment visit (1 per arm). After the first stage evaluation, the tacrolimus arm was terminated because of lack of activity (3 of 14 responses; response rate, 21%). Twenty-six subjects in the dexamethasone arm completed both study visits and were included in the response analysis, with a 58% (15 of 26) response rate, compared with 21% (3 of 14) in the tacrolimus arm (P = .05). The response rates according to the NIH score in the dexamethasone and tacrolimus arms were 50% (13 of 26) and 2% (2 of 14), respectively (P = .04). From the onset of therapy, 31% versus 21% patients reported feeling "much better" and 38% versus 36% reported feeling "slightly better," giving an overall global response rate ("much better" or "slightly better") of 81% (21 of 26) versus 71% (10 of 14), in the dexamethasone and tacrolimus arms, respectively. Dexamethasone rinses were well tolerated and taste was reported as "very pleasant" or "tolerable" in most subjects (96%). Intensive topical therapy with dexamethasone solution is effective for managing patients with new-onset symptomatic oral cGVHD and should be considered for first-line therapy. Topical tacrolimus solution appears less effective, at least for first-line therapy.

Biology boosts waste treatment (1994)

While biotreatment is also being developed as a primary remediation technique, it is now coming into its own as a booster process. Combined with such methods as air injection or vapor extraction to treat soil, or with reverse osmosis or activated carbon adsorption to treat wastewater, bioremediation is successfully treating petroleum-based contaminants and even chlorinated organics. This paper describes several biotreatment systems currently in operation.
FTIR AND TGA STUDIES OF CHITOSAN COMPOSITE FILMS (2004)

The synthesis of chitosan and resulting chitosan composite films was carried out using glycerol, tween, and beeswax as additives to prepare the composites films, after which a complete study by FTIR was carried out for all the chitosan composite films. Several differences in the absorption bands were seen for each composite, confirming the presence of the material incorporated therein. Thermal stability was studied by thermogravimetric analysis, which further verified the differences between pure chitosan films and the series of composite films. The composite films are good alternatives to existing food storage materials due to important similarities with commercial polypropylenes, not to mention their environmental advantages as regards improved degradability
Optical generation of millimeter-wave signals up to 330 GHz by means of cascadingly phase locking three semiconductor lasers (2003)

We developed a technique for the optical generation of high-purity millimeter-wave signals by synthesizing the outputs from three cascadingly phase-locked semiconductor lasers. A semiconductor optical amplifier was used to generate four-wave mixing (FWM) signals from the three laser fields. One of the degenerating FWM pairs was used to construct an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL), which ensured that the frequency separations of the three lasers were kept at a ratio of 1 : 2. Using a commercially available p-i-n photodetector, we also developed a conventional OPLL capable of operating at frequencies up to 110 GHz. By combining these techniques, we generated high-purity millimeter-wave optical-beat signals at frequencies up to 330.566 GHz.

Boosting Algorithms for Delivery Time Prediction in Transportation Logistics (2020)

Travel time is a crucial measure in transportation. Accurate travel time prediction is also fundamental for operation and advanced information systems. A variety of solutions exist for short-term travel time predictions such as solutions that utilize real-time GPS data and optimization methods to track the path of a vehicle. However, reliable long-term predictions remain challenging. We show in this paper the applicability and usefulness of travel time i.e. delivery time prediction for postal services. We investigate several methods such as linear regression models and tree based ensembles such as random forest, bagging, and boosting, that allow to predict delivery time by conducting extensive experiments and considering many usability scenarios. Results reveal that travel time prediction can help mitigate high delays in postal services. We show that some boosting algorithms, such as light gradient boosting and catboost, have a higher performance in terms of accuracy and runtime efficiency than other baselines such as linear regression models, bagging regressor and random forest.
Database Accuracy Effects on Vehicle Positioning as Measured by the Certainty Factor (1991)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Accurate vehicle positioning with respect to a geographical database is fundamental to successful use of in-vehicle navigation systems. In this paper, the authors examine known distortions in the database by their effect on vehicle positioning as measured by the Certainty Factor. The results are shown graphically as a function of distance as the vehicle traverses the distorted region of the database. Three cases are examined using two vehicle positioning algorithms - one more heavily weighted with GPS than the other. A conclusion made is that the Certainty Factor concept is a valid measure for examining database distortions as well as vehicle positioning algorithms.</div>
Generation of Multiple mRNA Fingerprints Using Fluorescence-Based Differential Display and an Automated DNA Sequencer (1997)

Differential display is a method for the survey, analysis and comparison of gene expression in eukaryotic cells and tissues. Differential display involves isolation of high-quality nondegraded RNA, selective reverse transcription of polyadenylated mRNA using specific anchored oligopolydeoxythymidine [oligo(dT)] primers, and the subsequent PCR amplification of the cDNA with the same oligo(dT), an arbitrary upstream primer and radioisotopes for labeling the PCR products. The radioisotopically labeled products are then separated on a sequencing gel. In this report, we describe a rapid, specific, nonradioactive fluorescent differential display methodology in which fluorescently differentially labeled anchored oligo(dT) downstream primers are used in the reaction, with subsequent analysis of fluorescently labeled PCR products on an automated sequencer. Complete gene expression profiles, containing multiple mRNA fingerprints are possible by the simultaneous comparison of the multicolored banding patterns of the fluorescently differentially labeled products from several primer combinations. This modification of the differential display technique simplifies the assay and increases the throughput of high sample volumes required for comparative gene expression studies in various clinical applications.
Ataxic form of Guillain-Barre syndrome associated with anti-GD1b IgG antibody (2000)

Richter1 proposed an ataxic variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome, in which patients have severe ataxia of the cerebellar type at the onset of Guillain-Barre syndrome but no ophthalmoplegia or severe loss of proprioceptive sense. Patients with ataxic Guillain-Barre syndrome have distal paraesthesias, areflexia, and raised CSF protein concentrations. Kusunoki et al 2 reported that of 149 patients who had anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies without profound weakness, five had acute self limited ataxia without ophthalmoplegia. The nosology of these patients, however, was not discussed. Of our 340 consecutive patients who had anti-GQ1b IgG, six had no external ophthalmoplegia and one had minimal external ophthalmoplegia. The clinical features of these seven anti-GQ1b-positive patients were consistent with an “ataxic form of Guillain-Barre syndrome” (Yuki et al , unpublished observations). Tentative diagnoses made by the primary physicians were Guillain-Barre syndrome (n=3), atypical Miller Fisher syndrome (n=3), and acute cerebellar ataxia (n=1). Araki et al ,3 however, reported on a patient with Guillain-Barre syndrome who had prominent cerebellar signs. That patient …
Self‐Assembly of Complex DNA Tessellations by Using Low‐Symmetry Multi‐arm DNA Tiles (2016)

Abstract Modular DNA tile‐based self‐assembly is a versatile way to engineer basic tessellation patterns on the nanometer scale, but it remains challenging to achieve high levels of structural complexity. We introduce a set of general design principles to create intricate DNA tessellations by employing multi‐arm DNA motifs with low symmetry. We achieved two novel Archimedean tiling patterns, (4.8.8) and (3.6.3.6), and one pattern with higher‐order structures beyond the complexity observed in Archimedean tiling. Our success in assembling complicated DNA tessellations demonstrates the broad design space of DNA structural motifs, enriching the toolbox of DNA tile‐based self‐assembly and expanding the complexity boundaries of DNA tile‐based tessellation.
Radial intercalation of ciliated cells during<i>Xenopus</i>skin development (2006)

Cells with motile cilia cover the skin of Xenopus tadpoles in a characteristic spacing pattern. This pattern arises during early development when cells within the inner layer of ectoderm are selected out by Notch to form ciliated cell precursors (CCPs) that then radially intercalate into the outer epithelial cell layer to form ciliated cells. When Notch is inhibited and CCPs are overproduced, radial intercalation becomes limiting and the spacing of ciliated cells is maintained. To determine why this is the case, we used confocal microscopy to image intercalating cells labeled using transplantation and a transgenic approach that labels CCPs with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Our results indicate that inner cells intercalate by first wedging between the basal surface of the outer epithelium but only insert apically at the vertices where multiple outer cells make contact. When overproduced, more CCPs are able to wedge basally, but apical insertion becomes limiting. We propose that limitations imposed by the outer layer, along with restrictions on the apical insertion of CCPs, determine their pattern of radial intercalation.
The Mobile Audio Ontology: Experiencing Dynamic Music Objects on Mobile Devices (2016)

This paper is about the Mobile Audio Ontology, a semantic audio framework for the design of novel music consumption experiences on mobile devices. The framework is based on the concept of the Dynamic Music Object which is an amalgamation of audio files, structural and analytical information extracted from the audio, and information about how it should be rendered in realtime. The Mobile Audio Ontology allows producers and distributors to specify a great variety of ways of playing back music in controlled indeterministic as well as adaptive and interactive ways. Users can map mobile sensor data, user interface controls, or autonomous control units hidden from the listener to any musical parameter exposed in the definition of a Dynamic Music Object. These mappings can also be made dependent on semantic and analytical information extracted from the audio.
Reshaping and Recompressing Round Biomass Bales (2016)

<abstract> <b><i>Abstract. Recompressing bales to achieve greater density can reduce biomass storage and transportation costs, but researchon recompressing round biomass bales is limited. Bi-axial compression in the radial direction of wheat straw, cornstover, switchgrass, and reed canarygrass was used to reshape round bales into a rectangular cross-section. The processwas conducted as a three-stage progression: vertical reshaping to cuboid shape, followed by vertical and then horizontaldensification. Density increased by 13% to 23% during vertical densification, and the pressure-density relationship wasmodeled as a linear function. Linear, power, and exponential models were fit to the pressure-density data collected duringhorizontal compression, during which density increased by an additional 68% to 83%. The linear and power functions bestmodeled the horizontal compression data. Although the power model underpredicted the initial density, it closely predictedthe final bale density, so this model would have greater utility for future design applications. The target density of 240 kgDM m-3 was achieved at the end of compression with all four crops. Corn stover had significantly greater final density thanthe other three crops and achieved the target density with less applied pressure. Bales were restrained with polyester strappingprior to removal from the chamber. Bale density decreased 19% to 30% due to re-expansion after pressure was released.Although the forces applied were great, the specific energy requirements were low because compression took placeover a relatively long time (~30 s). Differences in specific energy between crops were not statistically significant. Reshapingand recompressing large round bales could be an alternative to high-density large square baling to achieve weight-limitedtransport of baled biomass. </i></b> <p />
The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Activity of <i>Arabidopsis</i> PLANT U-BOX17 and Its Functional Tobacco Homolog ACRE276 Are Required for Cell Death and Defense (2006)

Previous analysis of transcriptional changes after elicitation of Cf-9 transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) by Avr9 peptide revealed a rapidly upregulated gene, ACRE276. We show that ACRE276 is transiently induced in wounded leaves within 15 min, but upon Avr9 elicitor treatment, this upregulation is enhanced and maintained until cell death onset in Cf-9 tobacco. ACRE276 RNA interference (RNAi) silencing in tobacco results in loss of hypersensitive response (HR) specified by Cf resistance genes. ACRE276 RNAi plants are also compromised for HR mediated by the tobacco mosaic virus defense elicitor p50. Silencing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) ACRE276 leads to breakdown of Cf-9-specified resistance against Cladosporium fulvum leaf mold. We confirmed that tobacco ACRE276 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase requiring an intact U-box domain. Bioinformatic analyses revealed Arabidopsis thaliana PLANT U-BOX17 (PUB17) and Brassica napus ARC1 as the closest homologs of tobacco ACRE276. Transiently expressing PUB17 in Cf-9 tobacco silenced for ACRE276 restores HR, while mutant PUB17 lacking E3 ligase activity fails to do so, demonstrating that PUB17 ligase activity is crucial for defense signaling. Arabidopsis PUB17 knockout plants are compromised in RPM1- and RPS4-mediated resistance against Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato containing avirulence genes AvrB and AvrRPS4, respectively. We identify a conserved class of U-box ARMADILLO repeat E3 ligases that are positive regulators of cell death and defense across the Solanaceae and Brassicaceae.
