Airtightness, ventilation, and energy consumption in a manufactured house : (2008)

A retrofit study is being conducted to investigate the airtightness, ventilation and energy impacts of tightening the exterior envelope and the heating and air conditioning system ductwork of a double section manufactured house. This report describes the results of the pre-retrofit assessment of building airtightness, ventilation, and energy consumption under both heating and cooling conditions. Measurements of building envelope airtightness and duct leakage were made using fan pressurization. Air change rates were measured continuously using the tracer gas decay technique. Energy consumption was monitored through measurement of gas consumption by the forced-air furnace for heating and electricity use by the air-conditioning system for cooling. After the pre-retrofit data collection was finished, the house underwent retrofits to tighten the building envelope and to reduce ventilation system duct leakage. After completion of the retrofits, post-retrofit data was collected. This report presents the results of the pre-retrofit measurements and a description of the retrofits.
A practical implementation of the fault-tolerant Daisy-chain clock synchronization algorithm on CAN (2006)

Networked processing units are becoming widely used in the automotive embedded system domain aiming not only to reduce vehicle weight and cost but also to assist the driver to cope with critical situations. Because the fact that these embedded networked systems are strictly involved with human safety, there is a high demand on dependability requirements which can only be guaranteed if active redundancy is employed. Considering that the processing units are usually connected by a shared serial media, the underlying communication platform is the most important building block. It must provide low-level support for deterministic data transmission as well as a global time base to coordinate the actions of replicated units. Within this context, this paper presents the development of the fault-tolerant Daisy-chain clock synchronization algorithm over the CAN protocol, resulting in an highly optimized communication architecture for safety-critical applications. Implementation issues and some obtained practical results are also discussed in the paper
Probiotic Strain<i>Lactobacillus Plantarum</i>NBIMCC 2415 with Antioxidant Activity as a Starter Culture in the Production of Dried Fermented Meat Products (2010)

Lactobacillus plantarum NBIMCC 2415 resistant to low and high values of pH and pepsin, and to high concentrations of bile salts was selected. It was demonstrated that Lactobacillus plantarum NBIMCC 2415 inhibited the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Proteus vulgaris G, Salmonella sp., Salmonella abony NTCC 6017, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25093, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 P, Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria monocytogenes I at temperature 15–18°C in the meat products. The high antioxidant activity of this strain against peroxide radicals (ORAC results) was determined. Experimental series of raw-dried meat products were produced. Reduction of the microflora of the meat raw-dried sausages and high concentration of viable cells of L. plantarum NBIMCC 2415 were observed, which makes them functional foods.

X-ray powder diffraction data for CuFeSe <sub>2</sub> (1994)

Recent X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies have shown that CuFeSe 2 crystallizes in the tetragonal system with space group P 2c [ , No. 112], Z = 4, with a =5.530(1) Å and c = 11.049(2) Å, c/a = 1.998. This material had been reported as pseudocubic with a =5.53 Å. The purpose of this paper is to present new X-ray powder diffraction data for CuFeSe 2 and to compare the results with those reported for eskebornite, a mineral with ideal chemical composition CuFeSe 2 , and with those obtained from single-crystal structure data.
Phonon-limited mobility in<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>n</mml:mi></mml:math>-type single-layer MoS<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:msub><mml:mrow/><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msub></mml:math>from first principles (2012)

We study the phonon-limited mobility in intrinsic $n$-type single-layer MoS${}_{2}$ for temperatures $T>100$ K. The materials properties including the electron-phonon interaction are calculated from first principles and the deformation potentials and Fr\"ohlich interaction in single-layer MoS${}_{2}$ are established. The calculated room-temperature mobility of $\ensuremath{\sim}$410 cm${}^{2}$V${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$s${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ is found to be dominated by optical phonon scattering via intra and intervalley deformation potential couplings and the Fr\"ohlich interaction. The mobility is weakly dependent on the carrier density and follows a $\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\sim}{T}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$ temperature dependence with $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.69$ at room temperature. It is shown that a quenching of the characteristic homopolar mode, which is likely to occur in top-gated samples, increases the mobility with $\ensuremath{\sim}$70 cm${}^{2}$V${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$s${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ and can be observed as a decrease in the exponent to $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1.52$. In comparison to recent experimental findings for the mobility in single-layer MoS${}_{2}$ ($\ensuremath{\sim}$200 cm${}^{2}$V${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$s${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$), our results indicate that mobilities close to the intrinsic phonon-limited mobility can be achieved in two-dimensional materials via dielectric engineering that effectively screens static Coulomb scattering on, e.g., charged impurities.
The CreA Repressor Is the Sole DNA-binding Protein Responsible for Carbon Catabolite Repression of the alcA Gene in Aspergillus nidulans via Its Binding to a Couple of Specific Sites (1998)

Carbon catabolite repression is mediated in Aspergillus nidulans by the negative acting protein CreA. The CreA repressor plays a major role in the control of the expression of the alc regulon, encoding proteins required for the ethanol utilization pathway. It represses directly, at the transcriptional level, the specific transacting gene alcR, the two structural genes alcA and aldA, and other alc genes in all physiological growth conditions. Among the seven putative CreA sites identified in the alcA promoter region, we have determined the CreA functional targets in AlcR constitutive and derepressed genetic backgrounds. Two different divergent CreA sites, of which one overlaps a functional AlcR inverted repeat site, are largely responsible for alcA repression. Totally derepressed alcA expression is achieved when these two CreA sites are disrupted in addition to another single site, which overlaps the functional palindromic induction target. The fact that derepression is always associated with alcA overexpression is consistent with a competition model between AlcR and CreA for their cognate targets in the same region of the alcA promoter. Our results also indicate that the CreA repressor is necessary and sufficient for the total repression of the alcA gene.
The Software Architecture for a Large Telephone Switch (1982)

This paper describes the software and the software structure used in a family of high-capacity digital telephone switches. The call processing task is complex, and has great diversity. It must support existing and future features, including some not yet envisioned. The software must also provide man-machine interfaces, maintain the office database, and offer automatic recovery from hardware and software errors. It must also meet critical real-time performance specifications. The techniques adopted to meet these requirements include the use of a strongly typed high-level language, independent design and compilation of software modules, and the provision of an automated program library system and problem reporting system. Considerable experience in the development and support of large software systems has been accumulated, and is described in the paper.
Fast Hearing-Threshold Estimation Using Multiple Auditory Steady-State Responses with Narrow-Band Chirps and Adaptive Stimulus Patterns (2012)

This paper describes the estimation of hearing thresholds in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired subjects on the basis of multiple-frequency auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs). The ASSR was measured using two new techniques: (i) adaptive stimulus patterns and (ii) narrow-band chirp stimuli. ASSR thresholds in 16 normal-hearing and 16 hearing-impaired adults were obtained simultaneously at both ears at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz, using a multiple-frequency stimulus built up of four one-octave-wide narrow-band chirps with a repetition rate of 40 Hz. A statistical test in the frequency domain was used to detect the response. The recording of the steady-state responses was controlled in eight independent recording channels with an adaptive, semiautomatic algorithm. The average differences between the behavioural hearing thresholds and the ASSR threshold estimate were 10, 8, 13, and 15 dB for test frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz, respectively. The average overall test duration of 18.6 minutes for the threshold estimations at the four frequencies and both ears demonstrates the benefit of an adaptive recording algorithm and the efficiency of optimised narrow-band chirp stimuli.
Molecule database framework: a framework for creating database applications with chemical structure search capability (2013)

By using a simple web application it was shown that Molecule Database Framework successfully abstracts chemical structure searches and SD-File import and export to simple method calls. The framework offers good search performance on a standard laptop without any database tuning. This is also due to the fact that chemical structure searches are paged and cached. Molecule Database Framework is available for download on the projects web page on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/kienerj/moleculedatabaseframework.

Synthesis of the <i>d</i>- and <i>l</i>-3: 4-dihydroxyphenylalanines (1931)

ALTHOUGH dl-3: 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine has been synthesised on several occasions [Funk, 1911; Stephen and Weizmann, 1914; Harington and McCart- ney, 19271, the optically active forms of this amino-acid have not so far been artificially obtained. 1-3: 4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine was first isolated by Guggenheim [1913] from Viciafaba; renewed biological interest attaches to this amino-acid as the result of the recent work of Raper [1926], who has shown that it represents the first stage in the formation of melanin from tyrosine by the enzyme tyrosinase. It therefore appeared to us desirable to complete the synthesis of 1-3: 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine by resolution of the dl-amino-acid into its optically active components.
Misaligned Antenna Phase-Center Determination Using Measured Phase Patterns (2002)

We report a straightforward procedure to simultaneously functionalize hydrophobic PC supports with vinylpyrrolidone (VP)-based hydrogels with both variable ionic load as well as surface topography, forming wrinkles. The strategy involves three consecutive steps: first, a contact of the polymeric support (PC) with a photopolymerizable solution comprising vinylic monomers is established. Second, UV-light exposure curing of the solution and finally, the third step involes the swelling of the hydrogel network that finally provokes its surface detachment. Interestingly, a wrinkled hybrid PC/hydrogel interface remains after this detachment. Several experimental parameters permitted us to finely control the wrinkle characteristics such as amplitude and period. The experimental parameters that can be varied, herein we will focus on the variation of the elapsed time (i.e., time of contact between the support and the photosensitive monomer mixture, or the solvent (type and amount) included in the monomer mixture. Equally, the nature of the additional ionic methacrylate monomers (M) employed plays a key role on the final topography. According to confocal raman microscopy results, we evidenced that a monomer diffusion into the PC substrate before the UV irradiation step modifies the interfacial (hydrogel/substrate) chemical composition and leads upon UV irradiation to the formation of a thin hydrogel surface layer. The surface chemical composition and structural characteristics were demonstrated to significantly change the surface interaction with different cell lines, affecting cell adhesion, proliferation, or transplantation.

Esterase Activities in the Blood, Liver and Intestine of Several Preclinical Species and Humans (2009)

Species and tissue differences in the activity of three major classes of esterases, carboxylesterase (CE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) and paraoxonase (PON), were studied. Substantial species differences in activity of these esterases were observed between the mouse, rat, dog monkey and human. Such species differences must be considered when using these preclinical species to optimize the pharmacokinetic properties of ester compounds intended for human use.
Labor market dynamics in Chile: The role of terms of trade shocks (2011)

In this paper we explore the channels through which the terms of trade affect labor market variables in\nan emerging economy such as Chile. In doing so, we analyze the cyclical properties of labor market\nvariables and use a structural vector autoregressive model to analyze the empirical responses of variables\nsuch as unemployment rate, job finding rate, sectoral employment and sectoral average labor\nproductivity to terms of trade shocks in the case of Chile, which come from two main sources: the\nmining and the non-mining sector. We then develop a multi-sector model with search frictions that\ngenerates fluctuations in the unemployment rate. Using a calibrated version of this model for Chile, we\nanalyze the ability of the model to replicate the observed responses of labor market variables to terms of\ntrade shocks. We find that the model can predict quantitatively the effects of labor market variables to\nnon-mining terms of trade shocks. Although the model is able to obtain responses to mining price\nchanges qualitatively similar to what is estimated in the data, it falls short to the estimated magnitude of\nreduction in unemployment that follows a rise in mining prices. The presence of very high wage rigidity\ncan help to generate a sharper fall in unemployment after a mining terms of trade rise. Finally, the model\nremarks a more intense sectoral labor reallocation in response to terms of trade shocks than the amount\nestimated in the data.
Quantitative Evaluation of Eye Movements as Judged by Sight-Line Displacements: Comparison of Eye-Movement Patterns during 525-Line and HDTV Viewing, and Evaluation of Moving Images (1986)

An eye-movement analyzer, the Vision Analyzer, has been developed for the objective study and evaluation of various psychological effects caused by diverse television images, as well as the experimental results obtained with the use of this device. Analysis of the HDTV image proves that the effects of HDTV's fine-structured, wide-screen images are advantageously reflected by the actual sight-line displacements of the eye. The other analysis of the moving image shows that the sight line can accurately follow the image only during approximately 30% of all cases at most, under the condition that the image is moving at an angular speed of no more than approximately 5°/sec.
An Erythroid-Specific Chromatin Opening Element Increases β-Globin Gene Expression from Integrated Retroviral Gene Transfer Vectors. (2004)

Gene therapy strategies requiring long-term high-level expression from integrated genes are currently limited by inconsistent levels of expression. This may be observed as variegated, silenced or position-dependent gene expression. Each of these phenomena involve suppressive chromatin structures. We hypothesized that by actively conferring an open chromatin structure on integrated vectors would increase transgene expression. To test this idea we used a 100bp element from the β-globin locus control region (LCR) which is able to independently open local chromatin structure in erythroid tissues. This element includes binding sites for GATA-1, NF-E2, EKLF and Sp-1 and is evolutionarily conserved. We constructed a series of MSCV-based vectors containing the β-globin gene driven by a minimal β-globin promoter with combinations of the HSFE and LCR derived enhancer elements. Pools of MEL clones containing integrated vectors were analyzed for chromatin structure and β-globin gene expression. The HSFE increased the extent of nuclease sensitive chromatin over the promoters of the constructs. The most effective vector included tandem copies of the HSFE and produced a 5-fold increase in expression compared to the promoter alone. These results indicate that the HSFE is able to augment the opening of β-globin promoter chromatin structure and significantly increase gene expression in the context of an integrated retroviral vector.

Transmission-Line Analogies of Plane Electromagnetic-Wave Reflections (1944)

The similarity between the equations for unguided plane electromagnetic-wave propagation and those of propagation along conventional transmission lines is illustrated here. It is shown that the conventional transmission-line equations expressed in terms of receiving-end voltage and current may be used to express the field-intensity components of uniform plane waves in any medium. Normal-incidence reflection of plane waves at surfaces of discontinuity are shown to be analogous to transmission-line reflections at impedance discontinuities. The transmission-line equations are then modified to apply to oblique incidence reflection. The relationships developed here assist in visualizing as well as solving plane-wave propagation and reflection problems using the conventional transmission-line equations. It also makes possible the use of transmission-line charts for the solution of wave-reflection problems.

Differences in the way a mammalian cell and yeast cells coordinate cell growth and cell-cycle progression (2003)

Proliferating Schwann cells and yeast cells seem to use different mechanisms to coordinate their growth with cell-cycle progression. Whereas yeast cells use cell-size checkpoints, Schwann cells apparently do not. It seems likely that many mammalian cells resemble Schwann cells in this respect.

Current and Emerging Therapies in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (2008)

The prevalence of obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MS) is on the rise, and subsequently the hepatic manifestation of MS, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has become a common entity in clinical practice. Most patients with NAFLD face medical complications related to their underlying MS in other organ systems; however, a small but significant group of patients with the more aggressive form of fatty liver, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are at risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. As patients are generally asymptomatic, often their disease goes unrecognized. This is particularly true for NASH, where liver biopsy is currently required to make the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, no one treatment has been shown to be universally efficacious and those that are of benefit are not without side effects. Effective treatment regimens directed at both decreasing insulin resistance as well as the processes leading to necroinflammation and hepatic fibrosis have been investigated and include lifestyle modification, surgical therapies, and pharmacotherapy. This review focuses on current and potential future therapies for NASH.
Three-Dimensional Biomechanical Static Strength Prediction Model Sensitivity to Postural and Anthropometric Inaccuracies (1991)

Abstract This paper describes a detailed empirical comparison of a 3-D Static Strength Prediction Model with a set of strength performance data. The data were acquired from 29 male volunteers who performed four different static exertions (e.g., lift, push-down, pull-in, and push-out), with one hand and both hands using a force cell located at six different positions around the body. It is shown that the biomechanical static strength prediction logic is extremely sensitive to errors in postures and somewhat sensitive to errors in anthropometry used as inputs to the model. It does appear that with good postural data the model is capable of predicting a population's mean static strengths reasonably well.
