Experimental results on string matching algorithms (1995)

Abstract We present experimental results for string matching algorithms which are known to be fast in practice. We compare these algorithms through two aspects: the number of text character inspections and the running time. These experiments show that for large alphabets and small patterns the Quick Search algorithm of Sunday is the most efficient and that for small alphabets and large patterns it is the Reverse Factor algorithm of Crochemore et al. which is the most efficient.

Progress in Offshore Coatings (2004)

Abstract This paper will cover the evolution of offshore systems over the past 20-25 years, starting with the use of zinc and vinyl or chlorinated rubber systems, and moving to the currently used high solids systems. Consideration will be given to all the key regions of offshore production, including Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Arabian Gulf and Asian fields, and how different construction processes, and arguably environmental conditions, drove a divergence of specifications which may now be converging again. The strengths and weaknesses of various systems will be reviewed in terms of both New Construction and Maintenance. Finally, the painting of Floating Production Facilities (e.g. FPSOs) will be considered, and how painting specifications for these have had to diverge from traditional approaches because of vastly different construction processes when compared to fixed platforms.
Visualization of intracellular calcium during necrotaxis. (1993)

Granulocytes are known to exhibit positive chemotaxis towards erythrocytes destroyed by laser irradiation (necrotaxis). A computerized method for visualizing intracellular calcium concentration in granulocytes during necrotaxis has been developed. Successive bursts of fluorescence were observed: 1 degree) about 10 s after the creation of the necrotactic source; 2 degrees) when the granulocyte touched the target.
Prevention of Hepatitis B (2015)

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes life-threatening liver disease. It is transmitted through a horizontal route or a mother-to-infant route, and the latter is the major route in endemic areas. Prevention of HBV infection by immunization is the best way to eliminate HBV-related diseases. The HBV vaccine is the first human vaccine using a viral antigen from infected persons, which is safe and effective. Either passive immunization by hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) or active immunization by HBV vaccine is effective, and a combination of both yields the best efficacy in preventing HBV infection. The impact of universal HBV immunization is huge, with 90%-95% effectiveness in preventing chronic HBV infection. It is the first cancer preventive vaccine with a protective efficacy against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of ∼ 70%. Nevertheless, further effort is still needed to avoid vaccine failure and to increase the global coverage rate.
Transcriptional activity of the transposable element Tn10 in the Salmonella typhimurium ilvGEDA operon. (1982)

Polarity of Tn10 insertion mutations in the Salmonella typhimurium ilvGEDA operon depends on both the location and the orientation of the Tn10 element. One orientation of Tn10 insertions in ilvG and ilvE permits low-level expression of the downstream ilvEDA and ilvDA genes, respectively. Our analysis of Salmonella ilv recombinant plasmids shows that this residual ilv expression must result from Tn10-directed transcription and does not reflect the presence of internal promoters in the ilvGEDA operon, as was previously suggested. The opposite orientation of Tn10 insertion in ilvE prevents ilvDA expression, indicating that only one end of Tn10 is normally active in transcribing adjacent genes. Both orientations of Tn10 insertion in ilvD exert absolute polarity on ilvA expression. Expression of ilvA is known to be dependent on effective translation of ilvD, perhaps reflecting the lack of a ribosome binding site proximal to the ilvA sequence. Therefore, recognition of the ability of Tn10 to promote transcription of contiguous genes in the ilvGEDA operon apparently requires the presence of associated ribosome binding sites.
Enhanced photoluminescence of strained Ge with a δ-doping SiGe layer on silicon and silicon-on-insulator (2009)

An enhancement of the direct bandgap photoluminescence from Ge layer on silicon with boron or phosphorous δ-doping SiGe layers at room temperature is reported. The n-type δ-doping SiGe layer is proposed to transfer extra electrons to L valley in Ge, which decreases the possibility of the excited electrons in the Γ valley to be scattered to the L valley, and improve the photoluminescence of the direct band transition in the Ge layer. Additionally, 2.5 fold enhancement of luminescence from the strained Ge layer on a silicon-on-insulator substrate is demonstrated due to the resonant effect. This investigation is very promising for efficient Si-based Ge light emitting diodes compatible with silicon technology.
Optimization of RNA Extraction From Formalin-fixed, Paraffin-embedded Lymphoid Tissues (2007)

Comprehensive analysis of gene expression using RNA extracted from frozen lymphoma specimens is becoming increasingly important for understanding disease pathogenesis, disease subclassification, and prognostication. As paraffin tissues are widely available whereas frozen specimens are not, development of gene expression analysis based on RNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissues would facilitate application of the accumulated knowledge to a sample type that is typical of clinical practice. In the present study, we have developed and optimized methods of RNA extraction from paraffin-embedded lymphoid tissues. In contrast to previously suggested methods of RNA extraction from paraffin, our method uses sodium dodecyl sulfate that better preserves the extracted RNA and is optimized for more complete proteinase K digestion to release RNA from its complexes with protein. These modifications yield long RNA fragments up to 2000 bp enabling amplification of long amplicons. This allows usage of paraffin specimens for molecular rescue of RNA transcripted from rearranged clonal immunoglobulin genes-an advance that may increase the eligibility of lymphoma patients for immunotherapeutic approaches. Furthermore, real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis of expression of genes implicated in determination of prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients demonstrated an extremely high correlation (R>0.90) in normalized gene expression between paired frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens. Similarly, good correlation was also observed in gene array studies. These results suggest that the methods of RNA extraction we propose are suitable for giving accurate real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction results, array gene expression profiling, and molecular rescue of RNA transcripted from rearranged immunoglobulin genes for diagnostic and immunotherapeutic approaches.
Rich Parameterization Improves RNA Structure Prediction (2011)

Current approaches to RNA structure prediction range from physics-based methods, which rely on thousands of experimentally measured thermodynamic parameters, to machine-learning (ML) techniques. While the methods for parameter estimation are successfully shifting toward ML-based approaches, the model parameterizations so far remained fairly constant. We study the potential contribution of increasing the amount of information utilized by RNA folding prediction models to the improvement of their prediction quality. This is achieved by proposing novel models, which refine previous ones by examining more types of structural elements, and larger sequential contexts for these elements. Our proposed fine-grained models are made practical thanks to the availability of large training sets, advances in machine-learning, and recent accelerations to RNA folding algorithms. We show that the application of more detailed models indeed improves prediction quality, while the corresponding running time of the folding algorithm remains fast. An additional important outcome of this experiment is a new RNA folding prediction model (coupled with a freely available implementation), which results in a significantly higher prediction quality than that of previous models. This final model has about 70,000 free parameters, several orders of magnitude more than previous models. Being trained and tested over the same comprehensive data sets, our model achieves a score of 84% according to the F₁-measure over correctly-predicted base-pairs (i.e., 16% error rate), compared to the previously best reported score of 70% (i.e., 30% error rate). That is, the new model yields an error reduction of about 50%. Trained models and source code are available at www.cs.bgu.ac.il/?negevcb/contextfold.
A Most Perfect Man': What General Robert E. Lee Can Still Teach Us (1999)

To reconstruct the past, through discipline and discrimination, is satisfying to the historian, and possibly useful to those who read him. To make explicit its lessons, somehow to make them useful and instructive, and possibly influential, is more difficult, and perhaps more dangerous. Harry Crocke....
The Yeast SWI-SNF Complex Facilitates Binding of a Transcriptional Activator to Nucleosomal Sites In Vivo (1997)

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SWI-SNF complex is a 2-MDa protein assembly that is required for the function of many transcriptional activators. Here we describe experiments on the role of the SWI-SNF complex in activation of transcription by the yeast activator GAL4. We find that while SWI-SNF activity is not required for the GAL4 activator to bind to and activate transcription from nucleosome-free binding sites, the complex is required for GAL4 to bind to and function at low-affinity, nucleosomal binding sites in vivo. This SWI-SNF dependence can be overcome by (i) replacing the low-affinity sites with higher-affinity, consensus GAL4 binding sequences or (ii) placing the low-affinity sites into a nucleosome-free region. These results define the criteria for the SWI-SNF dependence of gene expression and provide the first in vivo evidence that the SWI-SNF complex can regulate gene expression by modulating the DNA binding of an upstream activator protein.
A micromachined DNA manipulation platform for the stretching and rotation of a single DNA molecule (2004)

A micromachine-based DNA manipulation platform for stretching and rotation of a single DNA molecule is reported. The DNA molecule with a 2 nm diameter could be successfully manipulated using magnetic forces generated by arrayed microcoils fabricated by MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) technology. Key platform technologies including localized DNA immobilization, microcoil fabrication and microfluidics, have been integrated to form the DNA magnetic tweezers. One end of a single DNA molecule is specifically bonded onto a magnetic bead and the other end onto a gold surface. It is then manipulated under a magnetic field generated by built-in hexagonally aligned microcoils. Design and simulation of the magnetic tweezers are carried out by using numerical software. A highly effective and strong binding method for the construction of two sticky ends of a DNA is developed, which is compatible with MEMS technologies. To quantify the magnitude of magnetic forces acting on the DNA, force calibration is performed and further verified by the worm-like chain (WLC) model. The measured DNA stretching forces are found to be in reasonable agreement with the theoretical values. We have successfully demonstrated the stretching and rotation of the tethered-bead DNA molecule linked to a gold pattern using the developed method. The spring constant of the DNA molecule is experimentally found to be about 10−8–10−7 N m−1. The development of the proposed method could be useful for investigation of DNA biophysical properties.
A proposal for high rate double-block-length hash functions (2016)

We propose a class of almost rate-1 construction for 2n-bit hash functions, based on (2n, n) blockciphers, where 2n is the length of the cipher key and n is the cipher block length. These hash functions we proposed are proved to be optimum collision resistance and preimage resistance in the ideal cipher model. The hash rate of the construction is l-1/l where l is the number of cipher calls in the compression function. The hash rate is closed to 1 if l is large. Compare with existing DBL hash functions based on block ciphers with optimum collision resistance and preimage resistance, they are more efficient and simpler.
Investigation of the role of Vif in the HIV-1 life cycle (2002)

The Vif protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is required for replication in primary T lymphocytes, some T-cell lines, and most likely in vivo. Evidence suggests that Vif acts late in the viral life cycle to enhance the infectivity of progeny virions. Virions produced in the absence of Vif are blocked at a post-entry, pre-integration step during infection of new target cells. The primary aim of this dissertation is to clarify the mechanism by which Vif promotes HIV-1 infectivity. In the first set of experiments, we sought to determine why Vif is required for in vitro replication in certain cells (non-permissive cells), but not others (permissive cells). Measurement of the infectivity of vif-deficient virions produced by heterokaryons between permissive and non-permissive cells demonstrated that the non-permissive phenotype is dominant, suggesting that non-permissive cells harbor an activity that inhibits HIV-1 in the absence of Vif. Therefore, Vif appears to enhance HIV-1 infectivity by suppressing this host antiviral activity. In the next section, we investigated whether the transmission of some primate lentiviruses to humans might be inhibited by an inability of their Vif proteins to counteract the human antiviral factor(s). Consistent with this possibility, a number of Vif proteins derived from primate lentiviruses lacking known human counterparts failed to complement vif-deficient HIV-1 in non-permissive cells. However, not only did some of these Vif proteins enhance the infectivity of their cognate viruses in non-permissive human cells, but also some of their parent viruses replicated in the absence of Vif, indicating that Vif is probably not a barrier to transmission in many instances. The apparent virus-specific activity of Vif also indicates that interactions with viral components may be important for Vif function. In the final section, we attempted to characterize the molecular defect in virions produced in the absence of Vif expression. However, aside from lacking the Vif protein itself, vif-deficient virions were compositionally and functionally indistinguishable from wild type virions in the assays we employed. Overall, these findings suggest that Vif enhances infectivity by interacting with both host and viral factors to prevent a subtle host-mediated alteration of virions.
A Multicast Packet Authentication using Signature Amortization Scheme (2014)

The major principle of multicast communication is that each data packet sent from one source must reach all the receivers exactly as it originates from the source without any modification on the way. For information to be authentic there is the need to ensure that the information is from where they claim to come from and that security requirements are put in place. In multicast applications, when there are packet losses, the authenticity of the packet will not be verifiable by the receiver, making authentication impossible. In view of this, there is a need to develop an authentication scheme with lower communication cost and one that can be verifiable when packet loss is high. Thus, this research work developed a multicast authentication scheme that makes verification possible when there is packet loss and minimizes the size of the communication overhead. The research simulates a network environment using C sharp programming language and was tested with different messages to a number of receivers. The program was implemented in two phases: the sender's end and the receiver's end. The results show that amortization technique assists in reconstruction of the packet and make verification possible even when there are high losses of packets.
Differential-Thermography a Method for the Early Diagnosis of Mammary Carcinomas by on-Line Image Processing (1983)

Based on a new model for the description of the local and global hyper- and hypothermic regions on a tumor carrying female breast a mini computer system was developed to analyse the infra-red images on-line. Only seconds after acquisition of the thermogram a PDP 11/23 here produces a differential thermogram which reveals details of the temperature distribution characteristic for a malignant tumor.
A coordinate-based meta-analysis of music-evoked emotions (2020)

Since the publication of the first neuroscience study investigating emotion with music about two decades ago, the number of functional neuroimaging studies published on this topic has increased each year. This research interest is in part due to the ubiquity of music across cultures, and to music's power to evoke a diverse range of intensely felt emotions. To support a better understanding of the brain correlates of music-evoked emotions this article reports a coordinate-based meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies (n = 47 studies with n = 944 subjects). The studies employed a range of diverse experimental approaches (e.g., using music to evoke joy, sadness, fear, tension, frissons, surprise, unpleasantness, or feelings of beauty). The results of an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) indicate large clusters in a range of structures, including amygdala, anterior hippocampus, auditory cortex, and numerous structures of the reward network (ventral and dorsal striatum, anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, secondary somatosensory cortex). The results underline the rewarding nature of music, the role of the auditory cortex as an emotional hub, and the role of the hippocampus in attachment-related emotions and social bonding.
Position-sensitive xenon gamma-quantum detector (1986)

This paper investigates the possibility of using gas-filled position-sensitive charged-particle detectors to register gamma quanta. This paper considers a luminous method of registration that retains its performance to a xenon pressure of 3.5-4 MPa, e.e., at a gas density of ca 0.3 g/cm/sup 3/. The position-sensitive electroluminescence detector is of low-energy (30-300 keV) gamma quanta that is filled with xenon at a pressure of 1.0-4.5 MPa. A method of coordinate measurement can be used not only in gas detectors but also in liquid, solid-state, and two-phase emission detectors of elementary particles. Two coordinates can be measured simultaneously by adding a third wire electrode, which is also at small angle to the chamber bottom.

Vacuum Ultraviolet Photolysis of Ethane: Molecular Detachment of Hydrogen (1961)

The primary process of direct ethane photolysis by Xe radiation (1470 A and 1295 A) was studied at room temperature. The hydrogen and methane isotopic compositions from a mixture of C2H6—C2D6 and from CH3CD3 were measured mass-spectrometrically. The results show that, contrary to the previously proposed mechanism, almost all (&gt;95%) of the hydrogen is formed intramolecularly, and preferentially from the same carbon atom. Methane is also formed by a molecular process. Then the primary processes may be written as C2H6→CH3CH+H2C2H6→C2H4+H2C2H6→CH4+CH2.The absence of C2D6 in the products of the photolysis of CH3CD3 places an upper limit on [open phi]CD3/[open phi]CD3H+CH3D of about unity assuming all methyl radicals form ethane by recombination. The effect of the product ethylene on the composition of hydrogen isotopes from C2H6—C2D6 mixtures was examined, since any atomic hydrogen produced may be reacting rapidly with ethylene. The sample was purified and very low conversion (0.01%) was made. The result shows almost no change in the composition of the hydrogen isotopes in the products, indicating that the hydrogen forming step is largely molecular. It is suggested that higher hydrocarbons may be produced by the following reactions CH2+C2H6→C3H8CH3CH+C2H6→C4H10.
