Thermal performance of an elliptical pin fin heat sink (2002)

Comparative thermal tests have been carried out using, aluminum heat sinks made with extruded fin, cross-cut rectangular pins, and elliptical shaped pins in low air flow environments. The elliptical pin heat sink was designed to minimize the pressure loss across the heat sink by reducing the vortex effects and to enhance the thermal performance by maintaining large exposed surface area available for heat transfer. The performance of the elliptical pin heat sink was compared with those of extruded straight and crosscut fin heat sinks, all designed for an ASIC chip. The results of the straight fin were also compared with those obtained by using Sauna, a commercially available heat sink modeling program developed based on empirical expressions. In addition to the thermal measurements, the effect of air flow bypass characteristics in open duct configuration was investigated. As expected, the straight fin experienced the lowest amount of flow bypass over the heat sink. For this particular application, where the heat source is localized at the center of the heat sink base plate, the overall thermal resistance of the straight fin was lower than the other two designs mainly due to the combined effect of enhanced lateral conduction along the fins and the lower flow bypass characteristics.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Glycoprotein Expression in Human and Simian Cell Lines (1986)

Glycoproteins synthesized in both human (HeLa and HEp-2) and simian (Vero and BS-C-1) cell lines following infection with two different strains of respiratory syncytial virus (A2 and Long) were analysed by SDS-PAGE following immunoprecipitation with monoclonal antibodies. Minor virus strain-dependent differences in the large glycoprotein, G, and the fusion protein polypeptides F1 and F2 were observed together with minor cell line-dependent differences in the size of the F2 polypeptide. Major quantities of two glycoproteins, termed Ga (50K) and Gb (45K), were detected in A2 strain-, and to a lesser extent in Long strain-, infected simian cells. These proteins were also present in infected human cells, but in much reduced amounts. Immunoprecipitation with anti-G monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that Ga and Gb shared different epitopes with G.
Identification of Tumor Antigens in Human Lung Squamous Carcinoma by Serological Proteome Analysis (2006)

Autoantibodies against tumor antigens are promising means for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, we applied a proteomic approach to identify proteins that commonly elicit humoral response in lung squamous carcinoma (LSC). Sera from 20 newly diagnosed patients with LSC and 20 matched healthy individuals were analyzed for antibody-based reactivity against LSC proteins separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Autoantibodies against triosephosphate isomerase (Tim) and superoxide dismutase [Mn] (MnSOD) were detected in sera from over 20% patients with LSC but none from the normal controls. Furthermore, the occurrence of autoantibodies against Tim and MnSOD was evaluated by ELISA in an additional 40 LSC patients, 30 other types of cancer (OTC) patients, and 50 noncancer controls (NC). Results showed that frequency of autoantibody against Tim (27.5%) in LSC patients was significantly higher than that in OTC patients (6.7%, p = 0.027) and in NC (6%, p = 0.005). Likewise, frequency of autoantibody against MnSOD in LSC (20%) patients was significantly higher than that in NC (4%, p = 0.016), however, there was no significant difference when comparing to that in OTC patients (6.7%, p = 0.115). We also observed significantly increased expression and secretion of Tim and MnSOD in LSC, which possibly account for their autoantibody development. Our results indicate that autoantibody and antigen of Tim and MnSOD may be useful for screening and diagnosis of the lung squamous carcinoma.
Effects of Zeolite a or Clinoptilolite in Diets of Growing Swine (1984)

Growth, nutrient balance, plasma ammonia levels and urinary p-cresol excretion were evaluated in growing pigs fed diets containing various levels of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. In one growth trial, crossbred pigs averaging 25 kg initial body weight were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, .3% zeolite A or .5% clinoptilolite for a 6-wk growing phase trial. Average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADF) and feed/gain (F/G) were unaffected by supplementation of either zeolite in the diet, but metabolizable energy (ME) utilization was improved by feeding diets containing either zeolite. A second growth trial utilized the same crossbred pigs, which averaged 65 kg initial body weight, and were assigned to diets containing no zeolite, 1% zeolite A or 5% clinoptilolite for an 8-wk finishing phase trial. Average daily gain, ADF, and ME utilization were unaffected by feeding either zeolite diet, while F/G was increased in pigs fed the diet containing 5% clinoptilolite. In two nutrient balance trials, 16 crossbred pigs averaging 7.5 kg in initial body weight were fed diets containing 0, 1, 2 or 3% zeolite A in one trial and 16 crossbred pigs averaging 7.0 kg initial body weight were fed diets containing 0, 2.5, 5.0 or 7.5% clinoptilolite in a second trial. In both trials, digestible energy, ME, N-corrected ME and ME corrected for N balance and zeolite levels were linearly reduced as increasing amounts of either zeolite were fed. Daily fecal N increased and apparent digestibility of N was linearly reduced by feeding increasing amounts of zeolite A or clinoptilolite. Biological value of protein was improved linearly as higher levels of zeolite A were fed, indicating that there may be some ammonia binding to zeolite A in the gastrointestinal tract. Net protein utilization was reduced by feeding increasing levels of clinoptilolite in the diet. Calcium, P, Mg, Na, K and Fe retentions were linearly reduced by feeding increasing amounts of zeolite A in the diet, while increasing levels of clinoptilolite caused only P retention to be linearly reduced. Both free and conjugated forms of urinary p-cresol were linearly reduced by feeding increasing levels of clinoptilolite. Plasma ammonia levels were reduced at subsequent bleedings after a meal and by increasing levels of clinoptilolite.
Optimizing Experimental Parameters in Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (2005)

In isothermal titration calorimetry, the statistical precisions with which the equilibrium constant (K) and reaction enthalpy (DeltaH degrees ) can be estimated from data for 1:1 binding depend on a number of quantities, key among them being the products c identical with K[M](0) and h identical with DeltaH degrees [M](0), the stoichiometry range (R(m)(), ratio of total titrant X to total titrate M after the last injection), and the number of injections of titrant. A study of the statistical errors as functions of these quantities leads to the following prescription for optimizing throughput and precision: (1) Make 10 injections of titrant. (2) Set the concentrations in accord with the empirical equation R(m)() = 6.4/c(0.2) + 13/c (but no smaller than 1.1). (3) Make the starting concentration [M](0) as large as possible within the large-signal limits of the instrumentation but limited to c < 10(3) for estimating K. With this procedure, both K and [M](0) are predicted to have relative standard errors <1% over large ranges of K. Systematic errors in the concentrations, [X](0) and [M](0), are fully compensated by the "site number" or stoichiometry parameter (n). On the other hand, altering and freezing any of the fit parameters leads to a deterioration of the fit quality and to predictable changes in the other parameters. Fit divergence at very small c is avoidable through a simple redefinition of the fit parameters; however, unless n can be fixed from other information, DeltaH degrees may be statistically ill-defined in this region.
NMF on Positron Emission Tomography (2007)

In positron emission tomography, kinetic modelling of brain tracer uptake, metabolism or binding requires knowledge of the cerebral input function. Traditionally, this is achieved with arterial blood sampling in the arm or as shown in (Liptrot, M, et al., 2004) by non-invasive K-means clustering. We propose another method to estimate time-activity curves (TAC) extracted directly from dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) scans by non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). Since the scaling of the basis curves is lost in the NMF the estimated TAC is scaled by a vector alpha which is calculated from the NMF solution. The method is tested on a [ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">18</sup> F]-Altanserin tracer ligand data set consisting of 5 healthy subjects. The results from using K-means clustering and NMF are compared to a sampled arterial TAC. The comparison is done by calculating the correlation with the arterial sampled TAC.
Identification of a plastid intercistronic expression element (IEE) facilitating the expression of stable translatable monocistronic mRNAs from operons (2007)

Most plastid genes are part of operons and expressed as polycistronic mRNAs. Many primary polycistronic transcripts undergo post-transcriptional processing in monocistronic or oligocistronic units. At least some polycistronic transcripts are not translatable, and endonucleolytic processing may therefore be a prerequisite for translation to occur. As the requirements for intercistronic mRNA processing into stable monocistronic transcript are not well understood, we have sought to define minimum sequence elements that trigger processing and thus are capable of generating stable translatable monocistronic mRNAs. We describe here the in vivo identification of a small intercistronic expression element that mediates intercistronic cleavage into stable monocistronic transcripts. Separation of foreign genes by this element facilitates transgene stacking in operons, and thus will help to expand the range of applications of transplastomic technology.
Scheduling, routing and power allocation for fairness in wireless networks (2005)

We consider the problem of finding the jointly optimal end-to-end communication rates, routing, power allocation and transmission scheduling for wireless networks. We focus on throughput and fairness between end-to-end rates and formulate the associated cross-layer design problem as a nonlinear mathematical program. We develop a specialized solution method, based on a nonlinear column generation technique, that applies to a wide range of media access schemes and converges to the optimal solution in a finite number of steps. The approach is applied to a large set of sample networks and the influence of power control, spatial reuse, routing strategies and variable transmission rates on network performance is discussed.
THE DETERMINATION OF SMALL QUANTITIES OF CHLORHEXIDINE IN PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS (1958)

Abstract A colorimetric method has been developed for the determination of small quantities of Chlorhexidine by reaction in alkaline solution with sodium hypobromite. The precipitation of the base is prevented by the use of a surface-active agent. The method is rapid and accurate and has been applied to a variety of formulated products containing Chlorhexidine.

Advanced research in VLSI : proceedings of the 1987 Stanford Conference (1987)

Advanced Research in VLSI focuses on basic research, primarily involving interdisciplinary work in semiconductor physics, computer science, and electrical engineering that is giving rise to exciting new systems that have greatly increased functionality.Examples are systems that integrate sensors and logic circuitry to perform a function that might be called perception; systems that compute in novel and interesting ways to solve otherwise unsolveable problems; systems that interact and communicate with humans in more natural and efficient ways through the integration of logic circuitry and sensory stimulators; and systems that are adaptive to their environment in either physical or functional ways.New Technologies for New Architectures is the theme that binds these forays into interdisciplinary design, aptly expressed in chapters covering innovative approaches to design, manufacture, and testing.Paul Losleben is Associate Director for Program Development at the Center for integrated Systems at Stanford University.
A Golgi retention signal in a membrane-spanning domain of coronavirus E1 protein. (1991)

The E1 glycoprotein from an avian coronavirus is a model protein for studying retention in the Golgi complex. In animal cells expressing the protein from cDNA, the E1 protein is targeted to cis Golgi cisternae (Machamer, C. E., S. A. Mentone, J. K. Rose, and M. G. Farquhar. 1990. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 87:6944-6948). We show that the first of the three membrane-spanning domains of the E1 protein can retain two different plasma membrane proteins in the Golgi region of transfected cells. Both the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein and the alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (anchored to the membrane by fusion with the G protein membrane-spanning domain and cytoplasmic tail) were retained in the Golgi region of transfected cells when their single membrane-spanning domains were replaced with the first membrane-spanning domain from E1. Single amino acid substitutions in this sequence released retention of the chimeric G protein, as well as a mutant E1 protein which lacks the second and third membrane-spanning domains. The important feature of the retention sequence appears to be the uncharged polar residues which line one face of a predicted alpha helix. This is the first retention signal to be defined for a resident Golgi protein. The fact that it is present in a membrane-spanning domain suggests a novel mechanism of retention in which the membrane composition of the Golgi complex plays an instrumental role in retaining its resident proteins.
Evaluation of calibration procedures for optical see-through head-mounted displays (2004)

Optical see-through head-mounted displays (HMDs) are less commonly used because they are difficult to accurately calibrate. In this article, we report a user study to compare the accuracy of 4 variants of the SPAAM calibration method. Among the 4 variants, Stylus-marker calibration, where the user aligns a crosshair projected in the HMD with a tracked stylus tip, achieved the most accurate result. A decomposition and analysis of the calibration matrices from the trials is performed and the characteristics of the computed calibration matrices are examined. A physiological engineering point of view is also discussed to explain why calibrating optical see-through HMD is so difficult for users.
Consideraciones en torno al marxismo, la literatura y el realismo social (2003)

Este trabajo pretende ser un recorrido, sucinto y no sistematico, de las relaciones entre el marxismo y el fenomeno literario. Desde principios cientificos, y apoyando, en la medida de lo posible, todos los argumentos, se van desplegando conceptos, a veces muy tangenciales y otros que exigirian analisis mas detallados, que afectan a la critica literaria e intentan iluminar, de forma aproximativa, el problema del realismo social y, en general, el papel de la literatura en los procesos historicos y sociales.
Identification and Cloning of Kidins220, a Novel Neuronal Substrate of Protein Kinase D (2000)

Protein kinase D (PKD) is a serine/threonine kinase regulated by diacylglycerol signaling pathways with unique domain composition and enzymatic properties, still awaiting identification of its specific substrate(s). Here we have isolated, cloned, and characterized a novel protein from PC12 cells, termed Kidins220 (kinase D-interacting substrate of 220 kDa), as the first identified PKD physiological substrate. Kidins220 contains 11 ankyrin repeats and four transmembrane domains within the N-terminal region. We have shown that Kidins220 is an integral membrane protein selectively expressed in brain and neuroendocrine cells, where it concentrates at the tip of neurites. In PC12 cells, PKD co-immunoprecipitates and phosphorylates endogenous Kidins220. This phosphorylation is increased after stimulating PKD activity in vivo by phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate treatment. A constitutively active PKD mutant (PKD-S744E/S748E) phosphorylates recombinant Kindins220-VSVG in vitro in the absence of phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate. Conversely, Kidins220-VSVG phosphorylation is abolished when a dominant negative mutant of PKD (PKD-D733A) is used. Moreover, a peptide within the Kidins220 sequence, containing serine 919 in a consensus motif for PKD-specific phosphorylation, behaved as the best peptide substrate to date. Substitution of serine 919 to alanine abrogated peptide phosphorylation. Furthermore, by generating an antibody recognizing Kidins220 phosphorylated on serine 919, we show that phorbol ester treatment causes the specific phosphorylation of this residue in PC12 cells in vivo. Our results provide the first physiological substrate for PKD and indicate that Kidins220 is phosphorylated by PKD at serine 919 in vivo.
Characterization of Sustained Atrial Tachycardia in Dogs with Rapid Ventricular Pacing‐Induced Heart Failure (2003)

CHF promotes inducibility of sustained atrial tachycardia. Based on the mode of tachycardia induction, responses to pacing and calcium antagonists, and presence of DADs, atrial tachycardia in this CHF model has a mechanism most consistent with DAD-induced triggered activity resulting from intracellular calcium overload.
Mucosal Wound Healing Is Impaired by Examination Stress (1998)

Ontogeny of Catecholamine and Adenosine Receptor-Mediated cAMP Signaling of Embryonic Red Blood Cells: Role of cGMP-Inhibited Phosphodiesterase 3 and Hemoglobin (1999)

We have previously shown that the cAMP signaling pathway controls major aspects of embryonic red blood cell (RBC) function in avian embryos (Glombitza et al, Am J Physiol 271:R973, 1996; and Dragon et al, Am J Physiol 271:R982, 1996) that are important for adaptation of the RBC gas transport properties to the progressive hypercapnia and hypoxia of later stages of avian embryonic development. Data about the ontogeny of receptor-mediated cAMP signaling are lacking. We have analyzed the response of primitive and definitive chick embryo RBC harvested from day 3 to 18 of development towards forskolin, β-adrenergic, and A2 receptor agonists. The results show a strong response of immature definitive and primitive RBC to adenosine A2 and β-adrenergic receptor agonists, which is drastically reduced in the last stage of development, coincident with the appearance of mature, transcriptionally inactive RBC. Modulation of cGMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) has a controlling influence on cAMP accumulation in definitive RBC. Under physiological conditions, PDE3 is inhibited due to activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Inhibition of sGC with the specific inhibitor ODQ decreases receptor-mediated stimulation of cAMP production; this effect is reversed by the PDE3 inhibitor milrinone. sGC is acitivated by nitric oxide (NO), but we found no evidence for production of NO by erythrocyte NO-synthase. However, embryonic hemoglobin releases NO in an oxygen-linked manner that may activate guanylyl cyclase.

Progressive restriction of synaptic vesicle protein to the nerve terminal during development of the neuromuscular junction (1989)

Antibodies to synaptic vesicle (SV) proteins and to neurofilament (NF) proteins were used to investigate presynaptic differentiation and its relation to the formation of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clusters at developing mouse neuromuscular junctions. At all times during development, SV proteins and NF proteins were segregated into neighboring, but separate regions of the presynaptic neurite. At embryonic day (ED) 14 SV proteins were present throughout preterminal neurites but at later ages became progressively restricted to the distal parts of the neurites. NF proteins occupied a more proximal region that extended distally during development until NF proteins occupied the entire axon up to the terminal. The restriction of SV proteins exclusively to the terminal did not occur until the second postnatal week. At the time of their first appearance (ED 14), up to 50% of AChR clusters were not associated with neurites; precise colocalization required 12-36 hr to develop. These findings demonstrate a progressive restriction of both pre- and postsynaptic components to the synapse during development.
