The in vivo effect of thymic factor (thymostimulin) administration on circulating immune complexes and serum lysozyme levels in untreated Hodgkin's disease patients. (1983)

The in vivo effect of a calf thymus extract, thymostimulin, on the levels of circulating immune complexes (CIC) and serum lysozyme was evaluated in 32 patients with untreated Hodgkin's disease. Using the platelet aggregation test for detecting CICs, 12 patients (37%) had positive titers before thymostimulin treatment; 3 patients (10%) remained positive following therapy. Serum levels of Clq-binding immune complexes were evaluated (greater than 24.5 micrograms/ml) in 8 patients prior to thymostimulin therapy (mean value: 42.3 micrograms/ml); 3 patients continued to have elevated levels after treatment. Serum lysozyme levels for Hodgkin's patients was similar to control values (10.6 vs. 8.3 micrograms/ml); however, the Hodgkin's patients with initially elevated CICs had a lower serum lysozyme level than patients with initially normal CICs (12.9 vs. 7.3, p less than 0.02). Thymostimulin increased serum lysozyme levels in the Hodgkin's patients in whom the CICs were initially elevated (7.3 vs. 10.4 micrograms/ml, p less than 0.05). These data suggest that thymostimulin exerts an effect on the nonspecific immune system of Hodgkin's disease patients.

Fabrication of an electrostatic wobble micromotor using deep-etch UV lithography, nickel electroforming and a titanium sacrificial layer (1995)

A new electrostatic micromotor structure is presented in this paper. The actuation principle is based on the wobbling effect due to the use of direct electrostatic forces. A theoretical evaluation of the principal characteristics of the motor is presented. The motor is designed to present a low rotation speed (some 10 rotations per minute) suitable for direct actuation without speed reduction. The microfabrication technology used to realize the motor is based on deep-etch UV lithography, a nickel electroformed rotor and a titanium sacrificial layer. The flow chart of the technological steps implemented is detailed. First experimental results and improvements of the motor are discussed.
Super<i>B</i>, the super flavor factory (2009)

Heavy flavor physics measurements, in particular B and physics results from the B Factories, currently provide strong constraints on models of physics beyond the Standard Model.SuperB, a next generation asymmetric collider with 50 to 100 times the luminosity of existing colliders, can, in a dialog with LHC and ILC, provide unique insights into New Physics phenomena seen at those machines.

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF THE DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF WHEAT (1990)

ABSTRACT Temperature dependent dielectric properties data were collected on Stacy soft red winter wheat at temperatures from 0 to 50 C and moisture contents ranging from 8.2 to 23.4%, wet basis. Measurements by two impedance analyzers with a shielded, open-circuited, coaxial-line sample holder were transformed by the invariance-of-the-cross-ratio technique into dielectric properties data in the frequency range from 0.1 to 100 MHz. Measurements compared well with values reported in the literature.
S100‐Protein‐Containig Dendritic Cells in Fetal and Newborn Epidermis and Thymus (1986)

Skin and thymus were obtained from abortuses of varying ages and from neonatal autopsies to determine if S100-protein-containing dendritic cells were present. Using an unlabeled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase method, we could not detect these dendritic cells in epidermis prior to live birth, but did detect them at all fetal ages in thymus. Within 24 hours of live, full-term delivery, dendritic cells containing S100 protein were identified in epidermis.
Treatment of Hypercalcemia in Multiple Myeloma (1961)

Introduction Hypercalcemia is a frequent complication of multiple myeloma. In a large series, 28% of reported cases had a serum calcium over 15 mg. % on at least one determination. 1 We have recently had experience with two patients and wish to present them as illustrating certain aspects of this clinical state and its treatment. Both Myers in his review of the treatment of hypercalcemia in malignancy 2 and Adams et al. in their review of the management of multiple myeloma 3 have noted the dangers of extreme hypercalcemia and have described the use of corticosteroid therapy. The neurologic and cardiac responses to extreme hypercalcemia are profound and lifethreatening. In addition, the effects of hypercalcemia on the kidney (i.e., osmotic diuresis, hyposthenuric polyuria, and renal failure) and on the gastrointestinal tract (i.e., anorexia, nausea, and vomiting) tend to increase the elevation of serum calcium. Corticosteroids have had a consistent and reproducible
Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Primordial Germ Cells by Single Reprogramming Factors (2012)

Germ cells are similar to pluripotent stem cells in terms of gene expression patterns and the capacity to convert to pluripotent stem cells in culture. The factors involved in germ cell development are also able to reprogram somatic cells. This suggests that germ cells are useful tools for investigating the mechanisms responsible for somatic cell reprograming. In this study, the expression of reprograming factors in primordial germ cells (PGCs) was analyzed. PGCs expressed Oct3/4, Sox2, and c-Myc but not Klf4. However, Klf2, Klf5, Essrb, or Essrg, which were expressed in PGCs, could compensate for Klf4 during somatic cell reprograming. Furthermore, PGCs could be converted to a pluripotent state by infection with any of the known reprogramming factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc). These cells were designated as multipotent PGCs (mPGCs). Contrary to differences in the origins of somatic cells in somatic cell reprogramming, we hypothesized that the gene expression levels of the reprogramming factors would vary in mPGCs. Candidate genes involved in the regulation of tumorigenicity and/or reprogramming efficiency were identified by comparing the gene expression profiles of mPGCs generated by the exogenous expression of c-Myc or L-Myc.
Optical coherence tomography: technology and applications (2008)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has recently emerged as a powerful optical imaging instrument and technology. OCT performs high resolution, cross-sectional tomographic imaging of the internal structure in 3D materials including biological tissues. Advantages of OCT vs. other imaging systems are: 1) High resolution: enables greater visualization of defects. (OCT: 5-10 microns, ultrasound: 150 microns. High resolution CT: 300 microns. MRI: 1,000 microns). 2) Noninvasive, non-contact: increase ease of use. 3) Fiber-optics delivery: allows OCT to be used in catheters and endoscopes. (Fiber diameter is normally 125 microns). 4) High speed: enables high-resolution 3D imaging. 5) Potential for additional information: polarization contrast and spectroscopic information can be obtained concurrently yielding new information of the testing tissues. 6) Use of non-harmful radiation. In this paper, we shortly review the technologies of OCT and present our works in design and implementation of fiber based OCT systems and full-field OCT systems, including high performance swept source, fibre probe, hardware, software design as well as system configurations. The applications of OCT involving in medical imaging, industrial inspection, information storage and retrieval, as well as biometrics and document security are also briefly introduced and demonstrated.
Improving market clearing price prediction by using neural networks (2004)

In a deregulating power market, bidding decisions rely on good market clearing price predictions. One of the common forecasting methods is a Gaussian radial basis function (GRBF) network, which approximates input-output relationships by building localized Gaussian functions (clusters). The accuracy of network predictions relies on the degree of correctness of the input-output mapping built by the network. Currently, all input factors are used by each of the clusters. To some clusters, certain input factors may not be important and should be deleted because they mislead local learning and result in the misrepresentation of the underlying relationship in data. Existing pruning methods for neural networks, which examine the significance of connections between neurons, are not applicable to deleting center and standard deviation parameters since these parameters bear little sense of connection to the pruning methods. Based on the finding that the inverses of standard deviations can sever links between neurons, a new training method to identify and eliminate unimportant input factors is developed. 
For a neural network, the misrepresentation of the underlying relationship in data cannot be completely solved by selecting input factors. In view of the commonly seen situation that there are insufficient data points available to represent all data features, a network in reality may misrepresent part of the input-output relationship that could have been more appropriately represented by different networks. For example, radial basis function networks are effective in exploiting local data characteristics, while multi-layer perceptron networks are good at capturing global data trends. The use of a “committee machine” composed of multiple networks can in principle alleviate the problem of misrepresenting the underlying relationship. Currently, combining the predictions from multiple networks is based on a straight average or the statistics of historical prediction errors though the performance of individual networks is varying and input-dependent. To solve this problem, our idea is to estimate the quality of a prediction, i.e., the prediction variance that is conditioned on the current input and the historical data. Under the Multiple Model framework, a new method that the prediction qualities of networks are utilized to determine better weighting coefficients is developed.
Evidence for a direct action of X-537 A on the cardiac plasma membrane as an ionophore. (1978)

In some cardiac muscles made inexcitable by inactivating the fast sodium channels with elevated potassium, it has been shown that several agents, including catecholamines, induce slow electrical responses with concomitant contractions. The response is considered to be carried through the slow Ca2+ or Ca2+-Na+ channels on the basis of several types of experimental evidence. X-537A produced this type of electrical and mechanical responses in papillary muscles from both normal and reserpinized guinea pigs. A beta-adrenergic blocking agent, sotalol, did not modify this X-537A-induced responses. Tyramine, an agent known to release endogenous catecholamines, produced the same mechanical responses in normal papillary muscles, but it did not in those from the reserpinized animals. Therefore, it can be concluded that X-537A does act, at least at relatively high concentrations, on the cardiac plasma membrane to increase the Ca2+ permeability, which can be visualized with the aid of the specially designed experiments as described above.
Exciton-seeded multiphoton ionization in bulk<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mtext>SiO</mml:mtext></mml:mrow><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:math> (2010)

In a femtosecond pump-probe experiment the pump pulse injects a modest density of free carriers by multiphoton absorption. Measuring the nonlinear absorption of the probe pulse we observe exciton-seeded multiphoton ionization. The excitons self-trap in ${\text{SiO}}_{2}$ in $<300\text{ }\text{fs}$ following free-carrier injection and decay biexponentially with lifetimes of $34\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}8$ and $338\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}67\text{ }\text{ps}$ at room temperature. The extent of the probe-pulse absorption provides a model-independent demonstration that avalanche ionization plays a significant role in free-carrier generation by laser pulses as short as 45 fs. Free-carriers injected into a dielectric from extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) sources created by high harmonic or attosecond pulse generation and then avalanched with a perfectly synchronized infrared (fundamental) probe pulse, can provide a route to nanoscale laser machining.
Multimedia Internet Applications over WiMAX Networks (2008)

The market for conventional first mile solutions (e.g., cable, fiber etc.) presents indeed high entrance barriers, and it is thus difficult for new operators to make their way into the field. This is due to the extremely high impact of labor-intensive tasks (i.e., digging up the streets, stringing cables etc.) that are required to put the necessary infrastructure in place. On the other hand, the market is experiencing an increasing demand for broadband multimedia services (Nokia, 2001), pushing towards the adoption of broadband access technologies. In such a situation, Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) represents an economically viable solution to provide Internet access to a large number of clients, thanks to its infrastructure-light architecture, which makes it easy to deploy services where and when it is needed. Furthermore, the adoption of ad hoc features, such as self-configuration capabilities in the Subscriber Stations (SSs) would make it possible to install customer premises equipment (CPE) without the intervention of a specialized technician, so boosting the economical attractiveness of WiMAX-based solutions. In this context, WiMAX is expected to be the key technology for enabling the delivery of high-speed services to the end users.
Interactive Video Professor (2007)

The goal of this project is to introduce the importance of multimedia instructions in the classroom. By having multimedia instructions, students will be able to have a well rounded and enhanced learning experience. This is demonstrated by use on video accompaniment. The result of this project was to produce videos of each individual subject and highlight the main pints of each topic and detail from a student’s point of view. This is beneficial to the student with learning problems in the classroom setting. These videos are packaged on an easy user interface designed with Camtasia 4.0 menu maker application software and are very user friendly. The videos are designed so that one will see the instructor interact with the Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow presentation and verbalize to the viewing public the important facts of each topic. Digital Electronics with VHDL text book authored by William Kleitz has been the main focus of this technique.
Global State Measures of the Dentate Gyrus Gene Expression System Predict Antidepressant-Sensitive Behaviors (2014)

System state measures provide a robust method to quantify and relate global gene expression system state variability to behavior and treatment. State variability also suggests that the diversity of reported changes in gene expression levels in response to treatments such as fluoxetine may represent different perspectives on unified but noisy global gene expression system state level responses. Studying regulation of gene expression systems at the state level may be useful in guiding new approaches to augmentation of traditional antidepressant treatments.
Dense Corresspondence Estimation for Image Interpolation (2010)

We evaluate the current state-of-the-art in dense correspondence estimation for the use in multi-image interpolation algorithms. The evaluation is carried out on three real-world scenes and one synthetic scene, each featuring varying challenges for dense correspondence estimation. The primary focus of our study is on the perceptual quality of the interpolation sequences created from the estimated flow fields. Perceptual plausibility is assessed by means of a psychophysical userstudy. Our results show that current state-of-the-art in dense correspondence estimation does not produce visually plausible interpolations.
Experimental study of the interaction of intense electron beams with metallic targets (2001)

Preliminary studies regarding the interaction of intense short electron beams with different metallic targets are presented. The electron generator consists of a fast filamentary discharge in low-pressure gases. The filling gas is Helium, Argo, or Nitrogen at approximately 0.1 Torr pressure. The target might be easily changed. Also, the beam might be magnetically deflected in order to be properly directed. The interaction of the beam with different targets was investigated by means of a scanning electron microscope. The device is capable to drill holes of several tenths of microns in diameter in metallic targets.
GRACE TECHNICAL REPORTS Towards Compositional Approach to Model Transformation for Software Development (2008)

Model transformation plays an important role in Model-Driven Software Development that aims to introduce significant efficiencies and rigor to the theory and practice of software development. Although models may have different notation and representation, they are basically graphs, and model transformations are thus nothing but graph transformations. Despite a large amount of theoretical work and a lot of experience with research prototype on graph-based model transformations, it remains as an open issue how to compose model transformations. In this paper, we report our first attempt at a compositional framework for graph-based model transformations based on the graph query language UnQL. We show that the idea of UnQL that graph queries are fully captured by structural recursion can be adapted to structure graph transformations to attain efficient composition of model transformations. We have implemented a prototype of the framework and tested with several nontrivial examples. Our new framework supports systematic development of model transformation in the large, while guaranteeing that inefficiency due to this composition is automatically removed.
Dualist Constitutional Theory and the Republican Revolution of 1800. (1995)

American constitutional development, Bruce Ackerman argues in his recent book, should be understood in terms of three regime-transformative moments: the Constitutional Founding, Reconstruction, and the New Deal.t The first moment, Professor Ackerman explains, sheds much light on how to interpret the subsequent moments.z Ackerman's book, the first volume of a proposed trilogy on constitutional development, may be, as some reviewers say, one of the most important works on constitutional theory to date.3 Such praise, however, should be accorded only if the theory comports with historical fact. This essay begins needed empirical inquiry into Ackerman's theory of constitutional development by assessing it in the context of a particular constitutionally significant historical moment: the rise of the Jeffersonian Republicans in 1800. In his book, Ackerman gives relatively little attention to this moment of constitutional development, which, by conventional historical ac-
Physicochemical Characterization of Cimetidine Polymorphs and their Pharmaceutical Properties (2014)

Four forms (forms A, B, C and D) of cimetidine polymorphs were prepared by different precipitation methods. Physicochemical properties and stability of the four forms were investigated using FT-IR, FT-Raman, PXRD, DSC, single crystal X-ray diffractometry and SEM. It was found that forms A, B, C and D showed different crystal structures, particle morphologies and solubility. Forms A and C were transformed to form B after suspending in water at 40℃. On the other hand, forms B and D did not show any morphological change. Forms A, B and C reduced their crystallinities and transformed to form D during grinding at 1800 rpm. However, form D did not show any transformation although its crystallinity was reduced.

Reversible aggregation of PABPN1 pre-inclusion structures (2011)

Increased aggregation of misfolded proteins is associated with aging, and characterizes a number of neurodegenerative disorders caused by homopolymeric amino acid expansion mutations. PABPN1 is an aggregation-prone nuclear protein. Natural aggregation of wild-type (WT) PABPN1 is not known to be disease-associated, but alanine-expanded PABPN1 (expPABPN1) accumulates in insoluble intranuclear inclusions in muscle of patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD). We applied microscopic image quantification to study PABPN1 aggregation process in living cells. We identified transitional pre-inclusion foci and demonstrate that these structures significantly differ between WT- and expPABPN1-expressing cells, while inclusions of these proteins are indistinguishable. In addition to the immobile PABPN1 in inclusions, in the nucleoplasm of expPABPN1 expressing cells we also found a fraction of immobile proteins, representing pre-aggregated species. We found that pre-aggregated and pre-inclusion structures are reverted by a PABPN1 specific affinity binder while inclusion structures are not. Together our results demonstrate that the aggregation process of WT- and expPABPN1 differs in steps preceding inclusion formation, suggesting that pre-aggregated protein species could represent the cytotoxic structures.
Phase conjugate techniques for diode laser brightness enhancement (1991)

Diode laser arrays provide a compact, high power, high efficiency source of monochromatic light and are finding many applications in all solid-state mini and micro-laser systems. Unfortunately, the preferred modes of operation of free-running, conventional gain-guided laser arrays involve the simultaneous oscillation of many array transverse modes 1 . This results in an undesirable broadened twin-lobe output in the far field which is generally several times the diffraction limit of the emitting region. This leads to poor focussability which in turn severely limits the efficiency of launching into optical fibers, coupling into planar waveguides and longitudinal pumping of solid-state micro-lasers.
