Energy-Efficient Wireless Communications: From Energy Modeling to Performance Evaluation (2019)

In this paper, we analyze energy-efficient communications based on an advanced energy consumption model for wireless devices. The developed model captures relationships between transmission power, transceiver distance, modulation order, channel fading, power amplifier (PA) effects, as well as other circuit components in the radio frequency transceiver. Based the developed model, we are able to identify the optimal modulation order in terms of energy-efficiency under different situations (e.g., different transceiver distance, different PA classes and efficiencies, different pulse shape, etc). This provides an important framework for analyzing energy-efficient communications for different wireless systems ranging from cellular networks to wireless Internet of Things.
Single-cell analysis of S. cerevisiae growth recovery after a sublethal heat-stress applied during an alcoholic fermentation (2010)

Interest in bioethanol production has experienced a resurgence in the last few years. Poor temperature control in industrial fermentation tanks exposes the yeast cells used for this production to intermittent heat stress which impairs fermentation efficiency. Therefore, there is a need for yeast strains with improved tolerance, able to recover from such temperature variations. Accordingly, this paper reports the development of methods for the characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae growth recovery after a sublethal heat stress. Single-cell measurements were carried out in order to detect cell-to-cell variability. Alcoholic batch fermentations were performed on a defined medium in a 2 l instrumented bioreactor. A rapid temperature shift from 33 to 43 °C was applied when ethanol concentration reached 50 g l⁻¹. Samples were collected at different times after the temperature shift. Single cell growth capability, lag-time and initial growth rate were determined by monitoring the growth of a statistically significant number of cells after agar medium plating. The rapid temperature shift resulted in an immediate arrest of growth and triggered a progressive loss of cultivability from 100 to 0.0001% within 8 h. Heat-injured cells were able to recover their growth capability on agar medium after a lag phase. Lag-time was longer and more widely distributed as the time of heat exposure increased. Thus, lag-time distribution gives an insight into strain sensitivity to heat-stress, and could be helpful for the selection of yeast strains of technological interest.
Numerical Analysis of 295 Phenotypic Features of 266 Xanthomonas Strains and Related Strains and an Improved Taxonomy of the Genus (1990)

An extensive phenotypic description and an improved classification and nomenclature of the genus Xanthomonas are presented. A total of 266 strains obtained from different geographical areas, including representative strains of all species of the genus Xanthomonas and most pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris, as well as strains which might be genetically related to the genus Xanthomonas, were examined for 295 morphological, biochemical, and physiological features. Similarities among the strains were expressed numerically by using the coefficient of Sokal and Michener. Clustering was performed by using the unweighted average pair group method. The conclusions described below were reached. (i) The genus Xanthomonas comprises at least the following eight phena: X. campestris, Xanthomonas albilineans, Xanthomonas axonopodis, Xanthomonas fragariae, Xanthomonas populi, Xanthomonas maltophilia, Xanthomonas oryzae Swings et al. 1990, and X. campestris pv. graminis Egli and Schmidt 1982 [not X. campestris pv. graminis (Egli et al. 1975) ISPP List 1980]. (ii) X. populi (Ridé 1958) Ridé and Ridé 1978 is a separate species. (iii) X. maltophilia Swings et al. 1983 forms a separate species. (iv) X. campestris pv. oryzae ISPP List 1980 can no longer be regarded as pathovar of X. campestris, and its recent reclassification as a new species, X. oryzae (Swings et al., Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 40:309-311, 1990), is supported. (v) X. campestris pv. graminis Egli and Schmidt 1982 [not X. campestris pv. graminis (Egli et al. 1975) ISPP List 1980] seems to form a separate complex of highly related pathovars obtained from members of the Poaceae; the taxonomic implications of this are discussed. (vi) Strains of nearly all X. campestris pathovars cluster together in the X. campestris phenon. Within this species we were able to differentiate some entities on phenotypic grounds; these groups sometimes corresponded to named pathovars (e.g., X. campestris pv. manihotis, X. campestris pv. cassavae, X. campestris pv. phlei). In several other cases, pathovars were found to be heterogeneous. (vii) A number of dubious Pseudomonas species were identified as members of or as being close to Xanthomonas species. Both Pseudomonas betle and Pseudomonas hibiscicola are synonyms of X. maltophilia. We also confirmed that Pseudomonas mangiferaeindicae, Pseudomonas vitiswoodrowii, and Pseudomonas gardneri belong to X. campestris. (viii) Forty phenotypic features allow the differentiation of the eight Xanthomonas phena. (ix) A number of additional features of the genera Xanthomonas and Xylophilus are described.
Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of [1′-14C]Ubiquinone-2, [1′-14C]-5-Demethoxy-5-hydroxyubiquinone-2, and [1′-14C]-5-Demethoxyubiquinone-2 (2002)

[1′-14C]Ubiquinone-2, [1′-14C]-5-demethoxy-5-hydroxyubiquinone-2, and [1′-14C]-5-demethoxyubiquinone-2 have been synthesised from [1-14C]acetic acid. A common feature of these benzoquinones is the isoprenoid chain, and the 14C-label has therefore been incorporated in this isoprenoid. The coupling of the different quinone head groups and the isoprenoid chain is the last step in the total synthesis, to prevent unnecessary loss of the labelled material during synthesis. The products have been characterised by mass spectrometry, 1H NMR and 13C NMR.
The murine Niemann-Pick type C lesion affects testosterone production. (1993)

We have determined the effects of the Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) lesion, which impairs transport of cholesterol from lysosomes, on the androgenic status of male NPC mice. The mice have low serum testosterone levels resulting from decreased testosterone secretion. Testosterone secretion is reduced in NPC mouse testes incubated with 8-bromo-cAMP, 20 alpha-hydroxycholesterol, and pregnenolone compared to testosterone release by normal mouse testes under identical conditions. Ultrastructural examination of testes revealed a paucity of lipid droplets, extensive accumulation of inclusion bodies, and distorted endoplasmic reticulum in Leydig cells of adult NPC mice. The hypoandrogenemia caused systemic deficiencies in NPC mice. Seminal vesicles, a testosterone-responsive tissue, were underdeveloped in NPC male mice. The testosterone-responsive kidney beta-glucuronidase activity was also underexpressed. Seminal vesicle mass and beta-glucuronidase activity were increased by testosterone treatment of NPC mice. Many hepatic proteins, identified by microsequencing, were also deficient in NPC male mice. Levels of alpha 2-mu-globulin, glutathione S-transferase-pi, carbonic anhydrase-III, and selenium-binding protein increased in normal male mice during puberty, but did not increase in the NPC male mice. Based on the increases in protein expression during puberty, differential expression in males and females, and the reported involvement of androgens in regulating expression of some of these proteins, deficient expression of most of these proteins in male NPC mice appears to result from low testosterone levels. We conclude that a defect in testicular testosterone production in NPC male mice causes a pleiotropic deficiency in androgen-sensitive expression of proteins in various organs.
Electrostatic Monitoring of Gas Path Debris for Aero-engines (2011)

We present advanced condition monitoring technology based on electrostatic induction for detecting the debris in aero-engines exhaust gas. We also discuss the key technologies related to electrostatic monitoring systems, such as sensing technology, signal processing, feature extraction, and abnormal particle identification. The finite element method and data fitting method are applied to analyze the sensing characteristics of the sensor. We apply empirical mode decomposition and independent component analysis to effectively remove the noise mixed in with the monitoring signal. Certain diagnostic features extracted from the de-noised signal are presented here. A knowledge-acquisition model based on rough sets theory and artificial neural networks is constructed to identify the abnormal particles. The experiment results show the effectiveness of the methods proposed in this paper, and provide some guidelines for future research in this field for the aviation industry.
Genomics approaches to study musical aptitude (2014)

Although music and other forms of art can develop in diverse directions, they are linked to the genetic profiles of populations. Hearing music is a strong environmental trigger that serves as an excellent model to study the crosstalk between genes and the environment. We propose that the ability to enjoy and practice music requires musical aptitude, which is a common and innate trait facilitating the enjoyment and practice of music. The innate drive for music can only have arisen by exposure to music, and it develops with motivation and training in musically rich environments. Recent genomic approaches have shown that the genes responsible for inner ear development, auditory pathways and neurocognitive processes may underlay musical aptitude. It is expected that genomic approaches can be applied to musical traits and will reveal new biological mechanisms that affect human evolution, brain function, and civilisation.
Communication: a case against underocclusion. (2008)

Hypo-occlusion is another term for underocclusion. This condition is often caused during crown-and-bridge procedures where an incorrect mounting of opposing dental casts, the injudicious polishing of the occlusal surface of a cast restoration, or the intended placement of an occlusal shim prior to the casting will guarantee a close occlusal contact--one that doesn't make contact. Hypo-occlusion may also take place during routine restorative work where the clinical operator "ditches" the restoration for assumed longevity. Implant specialists often advocate to the restorative dentist that their implants should be constructed with no lateral interferences and with a light centric contact or one that is just underocclusal contact. What exactly does this mean?
Supporting diverse mobile applications with client profiles (2002)

We describe a best-effort scheme to support diverse applications in low-bandwidth mobile networks. The improvements due to our scheme are motivated by the observation that different applications typically have different preferences for latency and recency of data, which are not considered by traditional caching techniques. In our scheme, clients express their preferences using voluntary profiles: application-specific targets for latency and recency of data. We describe a complete framework for incorporating profile-based decision making into the cache utilization, downloading, and scheduling decisions at a mobile base station. We analyze the performance of profiles using simulations. Our results show that even simple profiles are useful in discriminating the service received by different applications, and using profiles in both caching and scheduling decisions improves performance. Further, clients who give uncooperative profiles increase the latencies of their own applications, thus providing all clients an incentive to provide fair and accurate profiles.
Total dielectric function: Algebraic sign, electron-lattice response, and superconductivity (1988)

The interaction between two test charges in a solid can be described in terms of a total dielectric function that includes electronic and lattice polarization. Crystal stability requires the eigenvalues of ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ to be \ensuremath{\le}1. Some implications for superconductivity are discussed. A total dielectric function for the electron-lattice system is derived in the mean-field approximation and its inverse is explicitly constructed. The low-lying poles of ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ give the correct phonon frequencies as determined by the usual dynamical matrix.
Competition Between Splicing and Polyadenylation Reactions Determines which Adenovirus Region E3 mRNAs Are Synthesized (1988)

Complex transcription units encode multiple mRNAs which arise by alternative processing of a common pre-mRNA precursor. It is not known how the pre-mRNA processing pathways are determined or controlled. We are investigating this problem by using the E3 complex transcription unit of adenovirus as a model. Our approach is to construct virus mutants with lesions in E3 and then determine how the mutation affects the accumulation of E3 mRNAs in vivo. We report results which indicate that competition between splicing reactions and polyadenylation reactions occurs in vivo and that this plays an important role in alternative pre-mRNA processing.
Clone Detection Based on BPNN and Physical Layer Reputation for Industrial Wireless CPS (2020)

Industrial wireless cyber-physical systems are vulnerable to malicious node attacks, for example, clone node attack. The existing clone detection schemes are either based on upper layer observations or physical layer channel state information. The schemes based on upper layer observations are vulnerable to defamation while the schemes based on channel state information perform better against defamation, but are badly affected by channel conditions. This article applies physical layer reputation and back propagation neural network to clone detection, aiming at improving the detection accuracy. The proposed scheme accumulates the physical layer reputations by channel state information and input them to the neural network. The cloud server performs attack detection by group detection first. If a certain group is classified as attacked, the corresponding edge processor will perform attack tracing to identify the specific clone nodes. During the attack tracing stage, multiple reputations of each node is adopted for a comprehensive inspection. Extensive experiments are conducted on the Universal Software Radio Peripheral platform. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the detection accuracy.
Assays for Ribosomal RNA Processing and Ribosome Assembly (2008)

The synthesis of ribosomes is a major metabolic activity critical for cell growth and homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms of ribosome biogenesis has important implications for studying both protein synthesis and cell cycle control. This unit describes several techniques for the analysis of rRNA maturation and ribosome assembly adapted for mammalian cells. Metabolic labeling of rRNA and hybridization analysis of precursors can be used to assess changes in rRNA processing that occur under experimental conditions of interest. Separation of preribosomal particles by sucrose gradient centrifugation is suitable for the analysis of proteins associated with preribosomes during their assembly and maturation in the cell nucleus.
Wide-area Surveillance Sensor with Leaky Coaxial Cables (2006)

This paper presents a microwave sensing system for wide-area surveillance that comprises two leaky coaxial cables, one for transmitting and the other for receiving. The sensor detects an intrusion by measuring the electromagnetic field level, which fluctuates when an intruder approaches and passes through the surveillance area. In this research, we have succeeded in specifying an intrusion point by applying the spread-spectrum technique. Results from a field test prove that the detection algorithm could detect the motion of an intruder without experiencing interference from shaking trees or rainfall
Nonlinear polaron dynamics in colossal magnetoresistance manganites driven by intense THz pulses (2017)

Using intense, few-cycle THz pulses we investigate the strong-field interaction with polarons in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. By probing the optical reflectivity, we observe a THz-induced detrapping of electrons from polarons, followed by thermalization of phonons with spins.
Potential of infrared thermography to detect insect stages and defects in young trees (2012)

Living stages of the quarantine pest Anoplophora chinensis Forster, the so called Citrus Longhorned Beetle (CLB), have been detected repeatedly during import inspections of young trees in several European Union member states. CLB infested plants show almost no external symptoms for identification by visual inspection. Therefore, according to the European Union plant health legislation (EU-Commission-Implementing Decision 2012/138/EG), destructive sampling of the plants at random is required. Infrared thermography has been assessed as alternative, non-destructive testing method. Due to the quarantine status of CLB, the native goat moth, Cossus cossus L., was used as surrogate for the studies. Three types of ther­mography cameras have been tested using standardized wooden samples during two long-term measurements. Neither passive nor active thermographic methods were able to visualize enough differences in temperatures to detect larvae, boreholes or boredust inside of wooden samples. Therefore infrared thermography with its currently available technology seems to be no appropriate technique for detecting insect stages or defects in young trees.

Vaccines prepared from chimeras of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) induce neutralizing antibodies and protective immunity to multiple serotypes of FMDV (1994)

The G-H loop of VP1 (residues 132 to 159) of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a prominent feature on the virion surface and has an important role in vaccine efficacy, generation of antigenic variants, and cell binding. Using an infectious cDNA of FMDV, we have constructed serotype A viruses in which the G-H loop has been substituted with the homologous sequences from serotype O or C. These chimeric viruses replicated to high titer and displayed plaque morphologies similar to those of wild-type viruses, demonstrating that the functions provided by the loop can be readily exchanged between serotypes. Monoclonal antibody analyses showed that epitopes contained within the loop were transferred to the chimeras and that epitopes encoded by the type A backbone were maintained. Chemically inactivated vaccines prepared from chimeric viruses induced antibodies in guinea pigs that neutralized both type A and either type O or type C viruses. Swine inoculated with the A/C chimera vaccine also produced cross-reactive antibodies, were protected from challenge with the type A virus, and partially protected against challenge with type C. These studies emphasize the importance of epitopes outside of the G-H loop in protective immunity in swine, which is a natural host of FMDV.
<i>Rapid Communication</i> : Synthesis and Electrochemical Studies on a Crown Ether Bearing a Naphthoquinone Acceptor (2002)

The bichromophoric crown ether N18C6NQ (1) has been synthesized in three steps from readily available starting materials. The main theme of the synthetic strategy involves the conjugate addition of an alcohol to 2,3-dichloronaphthoquinone in the presence of a base. Preliminary electrochemical and photophysical studies on (1) have been undertaken. The addition of alkali metal cations to the crown ether (1) causes significant changes in the first and second reduction potentials of the naphthoquinone (NQ) chromophore. In the case of the first process, a correlation between the reversible potential and cation ‘fit’ exists. The steady-state fluorescence spectra of (1) are quenched substantially (&gt; 90%) as compared with the model (2) in both CH2Cl2 and dimethylformamide solution. These systems are of interest in the development of a new family of crown ether based photosynthetic mimics and ion-selective sensors.
Gene polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system in relation to hypertension and parental history of myocardial infarction and stroke (1998)

These results support the hypothesis that the AGT gene plays a role in predisposition to hypertension and that the ACE gene plays a role in predisposition to acute ischemic events.
The Stable Solar Analyzer (1988)

Progress in the development of an instrument with very high (1:10 billion) wavelength stability designed to measure solar surface velocities and magnetic fields is reported. The instrument determines Doppler and Zeeman shifts in solar spectral lines by a 6-point weighted average. It is built around an electrically tunable solid lithium-niobate Fabry-Perot etalon that is stabilized against a diode laser which itself is locked to a resonance line of cesium 133. Key features are the etalon, which acts as a wide-angle 0.017-nm solar filter, the camera with a specially stabilized shutter, and the instrument control and data collection system. Use of the instrument in helioseismological research is emphasized.
Study of supra-thermal electrons and K-α x-rays from high intensity 500 fs laser-produced plasmas (1996)

We describe recent laser‐solid interaction experiments using the 500 fs Janus Nd:glass (1053 nm) laser presently at 1.5 TW power level. The laser beam path is enclosed in vacuum from the compressor to the target and is focused using an off‐axis paraboloid. Optical diagnostics monitor the near field pattern, focal spot, spectrum, temporal shape and pre‐pulse level. A 12 μm diameter (FWHM) focal spot is achieved (2.5×diffraction limit) corresponding to a peak irradiance of 8×1017 W cm−2 on target. A suite of x‐ray diagnostics characterize the x‐ray emission from the plasma. We present results for normal incidence irradiation of high‐Z (Zn, Ge, Mo, Sn) solid targets. The supra‐thermal electrons produced in the short scale length plasma have temperature TH>100 keV and can efficiently fluoresce the cold K‐α lines in the 8–30 keV energy range.
