Expression-based Genetic/Physical Maps of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms Identified by the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (2000)

SNPs (Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms), the most common DNA variant in humans, represent a valuable resource for the genetic analysis of cancer and other illnesses. These markers may be used in a variety of ways to investigate the genetic underpinnings of disease. In gene-based studies, the correlations between allelic variants of genes of interest and particular disease states are assessed. An extensive collection of SNP markers may enable entire molecular pathways regulating cell metabolism, growth, or differentiation to be analyzed by this approach. In addition, high-resolution genetic maps based on SNPs will greatly facilitate linkage analysis and positional cloning. The National Cancer Institute's CGAP-GAI (Cancer Genome Anatomy Project Genetic Annotation Initiative) group has identified 10,243 SNPs by examining publicly available EST (Expressed Sequence Tag) chromatograms. More than 6800 of these polymorphisms have been placed on expression-based integrated genetic/physical maps. In addition to a set of comprehensive SNP maps, we have produced maps containing single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes expressed in breast, colon, kidney, liver, lung, or prostate tissue. The integrated maps, a SNP search engine, and a Java-based tool for viewing candidate SNPs in the context of EST assemblies can be accessed via the CGAP-GAI web site (http://cgap.nci.nih.gov/GAI/). Our SNP detection tools are available to the public for noncommercial use.

The degree of ground coverage by arable crops as a help in estimating the amount of spray solution intercepted by the plants (1999)

For typical pesticide spray-application scenarios, estimates of the fractions of spray liquid intercepted by the plants are presented for various field crops, depending on the crop growth stage. Since any direct (analytical) determination would have required a relatively high level of experimental effort, the approach selected was to estimate these data based on crop ground-coverage records from more than 2000 herbicide field trials in Central and Northern Europe (years 1993-1996). Interception factors are important for the assessment of compounds during product registration, therefore some crop specific values were derived from the data presented. The results are compared to data reported in the literature.

Um den hohen experimentellen Aufwand fur die direkte (analytische) Bestimmung dieser Werte zu umgehen, wurden entsprechende Daten aus uber 2000 Freiland-Herbizidversuchen in Mittel- und Nordeuropa (Jahre 1993-1996) aus dem Boniturmerkmal „Deckungsgrad der Kultur abgeleitet. Interzeptionsfaktoren sind hinsichtlich der Stoffbewertung im Rahmen der Zulassung von Bedeutung, entsprechende Werte wurden aus den vorliegenden Daten abgeleitet. Die Ergebnisse werden fur die wichtigsten Feldkulturen in Abhangigkeit vom Entwicklungsstadium dargestellt und diskutiert.
Measurement of the arylsulphatase of <i>Patella vulgata</i> with 4-methylumbelliferone sulphate (1967)

1. The preparation, purification, chemical and spectral properties of potassium 4-methylumbelliferone sulphate are described. 2. The use of 4-methylumbelliferone sulphate as a substrate for the arylsulphatase of Patella vulgata is presented with specific reference to the fluorimetric assay procedure used with this substrate. 3. 4-Methylumbelliferone sulphate is compared with the previously used synthetic sulphatase substrates nitrocatechol sulphate and p-nitrophenyl sulphate with respect to K(m), V(max.) and sensitivity in the assay of arylsulphatase. 4. 4-Methylumbelliferone sulphate was strongly inhibited by phosphate. Sulphate, a less potent inhibitor, appeared to be of the competitive type with some anomalous characteristics.

The Macrophage in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (1999)

Macrophages are the predominant defense cell in the normal lung and during conditions associated with chronic inflammation such as COPD. However, the role of the macrophage in the development of COPD has been controversial. Scientific evidence from a variety of sources is emerging that supports a primary role for the macrophage in regulating the inflammatory response and tissue destruction associated with COPD. The role of macrophage proteinases in the development of emphysema, a major component of COPD, will be discussed. Shapiro SD. The macrophage in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Effect of anagrelide on platelet count and function in patients with thrombocytosis and myeloproliferative disorders. (1992)

Anagrelide may control thrombocytosis in patients with myeloproliferative disorders, even when traditional drugs have failed. When required, anti-aggregating drugs may be associated with anagrelide, since it has no effect on platelet function.
Using invariants to optimize fonnal specifications before code synthesis (2005)

Formal specifications of required system behavior can be analyzed, verified, and validated, giving high confidence that the specification captures the desired behavior Transferring this confidence to the system implementation depends on a formal link between requirements and implementation. The automatic generation of probably correct code provides just such a link. While optimization is usually performed on code to achieve efficiency, we propose to optimize the formal specification before generating code, thus providing optimization independent of the particular code generation method. This paper investigates the use of invariants in optimizing code generated from formal specifications in the software cost reduction (SCR) tabular notation. We show that invariants (1) provide the basis for simplifying expressions that otherwise cannot be improved using traditional compiler optimization techniques, and (2) allow detection and elimination of parts of the specification that would lead to unreachable code.
3D Reconstruction of seabed surface through sonar data of AUVs (2012)

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are widely used to explore the mysterious underwater world. Following along predefined spatial paths, AUVs are able to gather valuable seabed information in a designated area by recruiting sonar suites. The acoustic data collected by AUVs are usually in the type of point cloud with range information. Hence, how to reconstruct the topography of seabed via 3D point cloud data is the key to build the 3D seabed map. In order to address the problem, the paper presents a practical mesh method to achieve an accurate reconstruction of seabed surface from raw sonar records. Sonar data processing consists of three stages: point clearing, point normal and 3D surface reconstruction. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Use of microphotohemolysis to distinguish differences in erythrocyte treatments. (1991)

A new microhemolytic assay was used to determine if this assay could distinguish between normal erythrocytes and those which had been experimentally altered. Solutions of erythrocytes (4% hematocrit in buffer with fluorescein isothiocyanate tagged to 150,000 MW dextran, FITC-DEX) were placed in a hemacytometer and epi-illumination with a Leitz fluorescent microscope was used to activate the fluorochrome. The resultant hemolysis that occurred only in the discrete area of activation was dependent on the total light energy used for activation (45-180 J/cm2). It was quantitated by an analysis of the amount of light transmittance through that area. The presence of glucose in the buffers decreased the rate of hemolysis and increased the time to reach 50% of the maximal response (T50). Erythrocytes treated with diamide had up to a fourfold increase in the rate of hemolysis and a 48% decrease in the T50, while chlorpromazine produced a 51% decrease in the T50 but had no effect on the rate of hemolysis. Gluteraldehyde produced a graded suppression of the hemolysis. These results demonstrate that the microphotohemolytic assay can be used with energy response curves to provide a relatively quick, quantitative determination of altered erythrocytes.

Efficient storage utilization using erasure codes in OpenStack cloud (2016)

In the current era of connected devices, demands of data storage in the cloud storage systems are increasing exponentially and data is being generated at a tremendous speed. To reduce storage overhead, cloud file systems are transitioning from replication to erasure codes. In OpenStack, Swift component provides Object storage capabilities. The strategy Swift uses to achieve its reliability, availability and fault-tolerance properties of storage is Replication technique, which keeps more than one copy of each object (typically three). Information Dispersal techniques such as Erasure coding is a method of data protection in which stored information is dispersed in pieces across multiple locations. In this paper we describe this dynamic technique of erasure code policy in OpenStack Swift component to improve storage efficiency.

Low cost RF identification and locating system (1989)

A security system which enables the user to locate immediately any personnel in a building is described. This system uses a network of receiver units to pick up identification (ID) codes transmitted from portable transmitters worn by all personnel in the building. The ID codes are collected from the receiver units by a central processor via a communication line. The central processor then updates a database and presents the information to the user. A special communication protocol which enhances the communication between the receivers and the central processor through selected networks has also been designed. This protocol increases the bit efficiency of the information transfers.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Monitoring the purity of a synthetic peptide by capillary electrophoresis: utilization of an on-line preconcentration method for improved separation and detection sensitivity. (2001)

To date, there has been a considerable amount of interest and success in the pharmaceutical industry in the discovery of drug targets and diagnostics utilizing peptides. The success of peptide pharmaceuticals has, however, been accompanied by some failures, both prior to entry and in the clinic. Progress has been made in various areas to improve the effectiveness of the final drug product. One major advance has been in the area of peptide synthesis and control of the purity of the peptide of interest. Recent advances in analytical instrumentation, including advances in capillary electrophoresis, have had a great impact on the ability to separate and detect low quantities of impurities and degradation products during the synthesis of a peptide drug. In this work, affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) was developed for the identification and characterization of a chemically synthesized peptide fragment of a snake toxin called fasciculin. The affinity capillary electrophoresis technology utilized in this study employed two powerful techniques coupled on-line for the direct and rapid determination of analytes in simple and complex matrices. The first technique, aimed for the nonselective extraction and concentration of one or more analytes of interest, utilizes a solid-phase analyte concentrator device. The second technique, capillary electrophoresis, is used for the high-resolution analytical separation of the purified and concentrated target analyte(s), after elution from an analyte concentrator device. The on-line preconcentration step has proved valuable in terms of improving separation conditions as well as enhancing detection sensitivity values for the peptide fragment with a sensitivity increase ranging from 100- to 10,000-fold. Different types of analyte concentrator devices and a few binding-desorption conditions were tested. Bare and internal-wall-coated fused-silica capillaries were used. Comparative performance with HPLC in terms of selectivity and sensitivity is also discussed.
Ontology-based automatic video annotation technique in smart TV environment (2011)

Due to the recent explosive growth of smart TV and its applications, the need for multimedia contents analysis techniques for smart TV environment has dramatically increased. In particular, automatic video annotation and summarization technique is considered as one of the most important technique for smart TV because an enormous number of social videos are now becoming available as well as traditional digital videos such as TV programs and VODs. In this paper, we present an automatic video annotation technique which employs the ontologies to facilitate the video retrieval and sharing process in smart TV environment. In our work, ontologies are exploited to hierarchically describe the contents of video and facilitate the sharing of video contents among heterogeneous users or devices (e.g., smart phone, PDA, and so on). Through various experimental results, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Psychrophilic Spoilage Bacteria of Poultry (1968)

SUMMARY The organisms most commonly found growing on poultry carcases stored at 1° are pigmented and nonpigmented strains of Pseudomonas, Pseudomonas putrefaciens and strains of Acinetobacter. A comparison of total viable counts at 20 and 30° using stored turkeys, showed that certain strains could not be recovered at the higher temperature. When inoculated into minced breast and leg muscle, it was found that the pigmented and nonpigmented strains of Pseudomonas grew well in both muscle tissues. Strains of Acinetobacter groups B and C failed to grow in the breast muscle but grew in the leg muscle, Acinetobacter C growing much more rapidly than Acinetobacter B. The growth of Ps. putrefaciens was much faster in the leg muscle than in the breast muscle. These differences could partially be explained by differences in pH, the breast muscle having a pH value 5.7—5.9 compared with a pH value 6.4—6.7 for the leg muscle. The possible significance of these results in relation to the distribution and growth of these organisms on the chicken or turkey carcase is discussed.

When the Customer Is King: Employment Discrimination as Customer Service (2016)

Employers profit from giving customers opportunities to discriminate against service workers. Employment discrimination law should not, but in many ways does, allow them to get away with it. Employers are driven by self-interest to please customers, whose satisfaction is critical to business success and survival. Pleasing customers often involves cultivating and catering to their discriminatory expectations with respect to customer service — including facilitating customers’ direct discrimination against workers.Current doctrine allows employers to escape responsibility for customers’ discrimination against workers because it takes an overly narrow view of the employment relationship. The doctrine focuses on the formal lines of authority that run between two parties: the employer and employee. In fact, the structure of service work relationships is triangular and not dyadic. Because of the characteristics of service work and the importance of customer satisfaction to the employer’s bottom line, customers play a powerful role in determining the terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.This article argues that the law should acknowledge and hold employers accountable for the ways in which they facilitate, and benefit from, customers’ discrimination against service workers. To do so, employment discrimination law needs a model of employer liability to reach discrimination that originates beyond the employer-employee dyad, in recognition of both the triangular structure of, and the power of the customer in, interactive service work.
