Nuclear immunoreaction of p53 protein in soft tissue sarcomas. A possible prognostic factor (1994)

The nuclear p53 immunoreaction is considered a marker of tumor aggressiveness and appears to be a useful prognostic factor for STS.
Resolution of blood-stage malarial infections in CD8+ cell-deficient <i>beta</i>  2-m0/0 mice. (1993)

We utilized a definitive model of CD8+ T cell deficiency, the beta 2-microglobulin-deficient (beta 2-m0/0) mouse, to determine whether CD8+ T cells are required in the resolution of blood-stage malaria. In a parallel experiment, C57Bl/6 mice treated with anti-CD8 mAb showed significantly higher levels of parasitemia than untreated C57Bl/6 control mice at several points during the infection. This finding suggests some role for CD8+ cells in containing malaria. However, the beta 2-m0/0 mice, which are genetically blocked from expressing MHC class I or class Ib glycoproteins and therefore have < 2.5% of the normal number of CD8+ T cells, nevertheless resolved infections with three virulence variants of murine Plasmodium. The resolution of Plasmodium chabaudi adami, Plasmodium yoelii yoelii 17X, and Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS infections by beta 2-m0/0 mice in the virtual absence of CD8+ cells demonstrates that these cells are not required to suppress murine malaria and that the suppression mechanism is not MHC class I restricted. The similarity of the time-course for resolution of infection in beta 2-m0/0 and intact control mice with all three subspecies of Plasmodium further supports the lack of a requirement for CD8+ T cells in the suppression of malarial parasitemia.
Replication Data for: Cation influence on carrier dynamics in perovskite solar cells (2019)

Rubidium and Cesium cations (Rb+ and Cs+) incorporation recently emerged as a viable strategy to enhance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) efficiency. However, a clear understanding of the impact of these cations on the structure-function relationship in relation to the device performance is severely lacking. Here, we systematically investigate the influence of Rb+ and Cs+ on the carrier dynamics using transient optical spectroscopy and correlate with solar cell performance. Unlike Rb+, Cs+ integrates well with methylammonium (MA+) and formamidinium (FA+) yielding increased perovskite grain size, longer charge carrier lifetimes and improved power conversion efficiency (PCE). Concomitant incorporation of Cs+/Rb+ cooperatively retards radiative recombination by ~60% in the quaternary-cation based perovskite system (RbCsMAFA) compared to the dual-cation MAFA samples. By suppressing the defect density, PCEs around 20% are obtained along with more balanced charge carrier diffusion length and comparable photoluminescence quantum yield in quaternary-cation perovskites. While the synergistic addition of Rb+ and Cs+ is attractive for controlling defects and recombination losses in efficient solar cells development, sole incorporation of Rb+ is still an engineering challenge. Importantly, our study explicates the underlying mechanisms behind the synergistic combination of cations to minimize the charge carrier losses and achieve high efficiency perovskite solar cells.
Skewness as a Paleoenvironmental Indicator (1977)

ABSTRACT Because it has been suggested by many sedimentologists that skewness characteristics of recent sediments can be applied to the interpretation of paleoenvironments of unconsolidated and diagenetically unaffected sediments, we have compared skewness to both other textural features and compositional variations of the unconsolidated, uppermost Miocene sediments of central Delaware. Previous studies have indicated a lagoonal or bay environment for these silts and sands. Analysis of samples from 22 wells revealed a lignite-bearing, poorly sorted, dark gray, silty central region almost surrounded by shell fragment-bearing, poorly sorted, relatively heavy mineral-rich, gray, silty, subangular quartz sands. In the central silty region, clay (up to 20 percent) is more abundant to the north where a terrestrial source area was located. In the surrounding sandy region, the best sorted sediments, containing frosted quartz grains, occur to the south, indicating a possible transition into an offshore barrier island complex with windblown sands carried northward into the oceanward margin of the lagoon. Plotting the skewness values revealed a nearly identical central region with negative skewness almost surrounded by a marginal region of positive skewness, mimicking the bulls-eye distributional patterns of the other textural and compositional data. Comparison with recent environmental studies of skewness suggests that the central region probably represents proximity to a river mouth or tidal estuary where winnowing may have dominated over deposition, whereas the surrounding region may represent sands deposited in an adjacent shallow, sheltered lagoonal area dominated by deposition. This study supports the suggestion that the sign of skewness, coupled with lithologic and other textural analyses, is potentially useful in identifying ancient sedimentary environments. However, further work is necessary to fully evaluate its usefulness.
Self-consistent kinetic model of a surface-wave-sustained discharge in nitrogen (1997)

A self-consistent kinetic model based on a set of coupled equations consisting of the local electron Boltzmann equation and the rate balance equations for the most important excited species (vibrationally and electronically excited molecular states) and charged particles in a nitrogen discharge has been developed. The system under analysis is a plasma column produced by a travelling, azimuthally symmetric surface wave. Electron collisions of first and second kind with nitrogen molecules and electron - electron collisions are accounted for in the Boltzmann equation. Therefore, this equation is coupled to the set of equations for electronic and vibrational populations through both inelastic and superelastic collisions. The field strength necessary for the discharge steady-state operation is obtained from the balance between the total rate of ionization (including associative, direct and step-wise ionization) and the total rate of electronic losses (due to diffusion to the wall and bulk recombination). The model determines, as a function of the discharge operating parameters (pressure, tube radius, wave frequency, degree of ionization), the electron energy distribution, the populations of the vibrational levels of the electronic ground state and the most important electronic states as well as the concentrations of and ions, consistently with the discharge maintaining electric field. Theoretical results for the electron energy distribution function and some of its moments are compared with experimental ones obtained in a low-pressure surface-wave-sustained discharge at a wave frequency of 500 MHz.
Diet, Body Weight, and Colorectal Cancer: A Summary of the Epidemiologic Evidence (2003)

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and the number of new cases annually is approximately equal for men and women. Several nutritional factors are likely to have a major influence on risk of this cancer. Physical inactivity and excessive adiposity, especially if centrally distributed, clearly increase the risk of colon cancer. Hyperinsulinemia may be an important underlying risk factor. In conjunction with obesity and physical inactivity, which induce a state of insulin resistance, certain dietary patterns that stimulate insulin secretion, including high intakes of red and processed meats, saturated and trans-fats, and highly processed carbohydrates and sugars, may increase the risk of colon cancer. There is evidence suggesting that some component of red meat may independently increase the risk of colorectal cancer, and some micronutrients may be important as protective agents. Currently, the evidence is strongest for folate and calcium. Folate may be especially important in alcohol drinkers because alcohol appears to increase the risk, particularly when folate intake is low. This interaction may be related to the antifolate properties of alcohol. In contrast to earlier studies, more recent epidemiologic studies have generally not supported a strong influence of dietary fiber or fruits and vegetables, although these have other health benefits, and their consumption should be encouraged. The majority of colon cancers, as well as many other conditions, may be prevented by lifestyle alterations in the intake of these nutritional factors, in addition to other factors, such as smoking.
Effect of Hydroxyapatite-Tricalcium Phosphate Micro-Particles on the Cellular Interaction of In Situ Hyaluronic Acid-Poly(Ethylene Oxide) Hydrogel (2007)

In vitro cell behaviors of calvarial osteoblasts (MC3T3) were evaluated by seeding them on both the surface and inside of in situ hyaluronic acid-poly(ethylene oxide) (HA-PEO) hydrogel, either after or before incorporation of mixture micro-particles of hydroxyapatite-β-tricalcium phosphate on/inside the hydrogel, respectively. Cellular behaviors such as adhesion and proliferation on the surface and inside the gel were evaluated with light microscopy and a microplate reader by focusing on the interactions of cell-HA-PEO as well as cell-hydroxyapatitetricalcium phosphate micro-particle surface in the gel. Cell adhesion and spreading seemed to be enhanced by supplying the micro-particles to the inside the HA-PEO hydrogel, compared to the results of the HA-PEO hydrogel itself.
Prevention and Correction of Temporal Hair Loss in Rhytidectomy (1999)

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of retinoic acid on wound healing and depth of injury in an animal skin model resurfaced with a CO2 laser. The dorsal skin of 21 Hartley guinea pigs was divided into halves. One-half received a daily application of 0.05% retinoic acid for 28 days, whereas the other half served as the control. The animals were divided into three treatment groups of seven animals. Group A was laser resurfaced with one pass of the Coherent UltraPulse CO2 laser (300 mJ, 60 W, density 40 percent). Group B received two passes, and group C received three passes. Histologic studies were obtained before laser resurfacing and days 1, 4, and 7 after resurfacing. Depth of injury, thickness, number of squamous cell and granular cell layers, and epithelialization rates were measured. We found that the depth of injury was statistically less in animals pretreated with retinoic acid. Granular cells were thicker and more numerous at day 4 in pretreated animals but similar to controls by day 7. Animals pre-treated with retinoic acid overall seemed to heal wounds earlier. In conclusion, pretreatment with retinoic acid may reduce the depth of injury in laser resurfacing and speed healing rates.
Single-switch galvanically isolated quasi-Z-source DC-DC converter (2015)

A novel galvanically isolated quasi-Z-source DC-DC converter with a single switch is presented. It is derived from the conventional single-switch nonisolated quasi-Z-source DC-DC converter. The new topology is within the transformer based class of the galvanically isolated impedance-source DC-DC converters, while existing topologies are solely within the coupled inductor based class. This simple solution features low cost, high efficiency and reliability that suits low power or low-voltage applications. Theoretical predictions were verified with simulation in PSIM and experimentally with a 200 W prototype. The topology is further improved using the combined energy transfer principle.
A Review of the Physical Metallurgy related to the Hot Press Forming of Advanced High Strength Steel (2009)

The automotive industry requirements for vehicle weight reduction, weight containment, improved part functionality and passenger safety have resulted in the increased use of steel grades with a fully martensitic microstructure. These steel grades are essential to improve the anti-intrusion resistance of automotive body parts and the related passenger safety during car collisions. Standard advanced high strength steel (AHSS) grades are notoriously difficult to be press formed; they are characterized by elastic springback, poor stretch flangeability and low hole expansion ratios. Hot press forming has therefore received much attention recently as an alternative technology to produce AHSS automotive parts. In this contribution, the physical metallurgy principles of the hot press forming process are reviewed. The effect of composition on CCT curves of standard CMnB hot press forming steels is discussed taking the deformation during press forming into account. Furthermore,the effect of the static strain ageing processes occurring during the paint baking cycle on the in-service mechanical properties of press hardened steel will be presented. The influence of temperate and strain rate on the flow stress during press forming and the final room temperature mechanical properties will be discuss ed. Moreover, the issues related to coatings on B-alloyed CMn hot press forming steel will be critically reviewed. In particular the combined effects of thermal cycle and deformation on the degradation of the Al-10%Si coating will be discussed in detail. Finally, the properties of both Al-based and Zn-based coating systems are compared, and the possibility of the formation of a diffusion barrier during press forming is discussed.
Physiological and Environmental Requirements for Poplar (Populus deltoides) Bark Storage Protein Degradation (1993)

In poplar (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh), a 32-kD bark storage protein (BSP) accumulates in the bark during autumn and winter and declines during spring shoot growth. We investigated the physiological and environmental factors necessary for the degradation of poplar BSP. Poplar plants were exposed to short-day (SD) photoperiods for either 28 or 49 d. Plants exposed to short days for 28 d formed a terminal bud but were not dormant, whereas exposure to short days for 49 d induced bud dormancy. BSP accumulated in bark of plants exposed to both SD treatments. The level of BSP declined rapidly when nondormant plants were returned to long days. BSP levels did not decline in dormant plants that were exposed to long-day (LD) conditions. If dormant plants were first treated with either low temperatures (0[deg]C for 28 d) or with 0.5 M H2CN2 to overcome dormancy and then returned to long days, the level of BSP declined. Removal of buds from non-dormant or dormant plants in which dormancy had been overcome inhibited the degradation of BSP in LD conditions. BSP mRNA levels rapidly declined in plants exposed to long days, irrespective of the dormancy status of the plants or the presence or absence of buds. These results indicate that the buds of poplars are somehow able to communicate with bark storage sites and regulate poplar BSP degradation. These results further support an association of BSP mRNA levels with photoperiod because short days stimulate BSP mRNA accumulation, whereas long days result in a decline of BSP mRNA abundance.
Insulin‐Like Growth Factors and Neoplasia (2004)

Prospective studies suggest that individuals with circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) at the high end of the normal range are at increased risk for several common cancers. Further data implicate IGF-1 and hyperinsulinism as candidate mediators of the effects of body size on cancer risk and prognosis. Ongoing research seeks to confirm these findings, to clarify the underlying physiology, and to assess their relevance to patterns of cancer incidence. In vivo models have not only provided data consistent with the epidemiological observations, but also suggest that IGF-1 signalling stimulates growth of established cancers. This has led to the development of novel IGF-I receptor targeting therapies which have impressive antineoplastic activity in experimental systems.
Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) Disparity between Donor and Recipient has a Potential to Predict the Outcomes of HLA-identical Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (2005)

Background: Detection of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) between recipient and donor has been adopted to monitor the degree of chimerism after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). In allogeneic SCT, besides MHC-disparity, the disparity of various polymorphous proteins encoded by several genes may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, the biologic effect of VNTR disparity has been scarcely studied. Methods: We analyzed 84 patients receiving SCT from HLA-identical sibling (n=68) or unrelated donors (n=16). Enrolled diseases included AML 48, ALL 8, CML 15, NHL 10, and high-risk MDS 3. The PCR was performed to amplify 3 VNTR regions (D1S80, D1S111, and D17S5). Results: We observed strong correlation between the D1S80 disparity and transplant outcomes in terms of OS (P=0.0179) or non-relapse mortality (NRM) (P=0.0305), but not for D1S111 or D17S5 disparity. The D1S80-fully matched pair showed a better OS (72% vs 38%) and lower NRM (17% vs 50%) compared to partially matched or mismatched pairs. In multivariate analyses, D1S80-fully matched pair was found to be independent favorable prognostic factor for OS (P=0.03) or NRM (P=0.05). In addition, the D1S80 disparity was significantly associated with the myeloid engraftment speed (P=0.01) or the occurrence of gut chronic GVHD (P=0.05).
SIMPLE SETUPS FOR CARRIER-ENVELOPE-PHASE STABLE SINGLE-CYCLE ATTOSECOND PULSE GENERATION (2013)

A robust method for producing half-cycle—few-cycle pulses in mid-infrared to extreme ultraviolet spectral ranges is proposed. It is based on coherent undulator radiation of relativistic ultrathin electron layers (nanobunches), which are produced by nanobunching of ultrashort electron bunches by a TW power laser in a modulator undulator. According to our numerical calculations it is possible to generate shorter than 7 nm long nanobunches in this way, where the key points is to use a single-period modulator undulator, rather than a multi-period one, having an undulator parameter of onlyK = 0:25 and a significantly shorter period than the resonant period length. By using these electron nanolayers the production of carrier-envelope-phase stable pulses with up to a few nJ energy and down to 18 nm wavelength and 35 as duration is predicted.
Analysis of Crystallization Processes Using Spreadsheet Software (2010)

In order to analyze of crystallization processes, a tool with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel has been developed to calculate operation parameters for crystallization based on the design theory of an industrial crystallizer. Using this tool, we calculated the nucleation rate and the linear growth rate that are the basis for analysis of crystallization phenomena, and we analyzed the variation of monthly aging and the start-up of the real industrial crystallization processes of two products. As a result, it was observed that product X (sulfated compound) had been produced with nearly perfect stability. On the other hand, the phenomena in the crystallizer at the start-up of product Y (phosphate compound) could be understood. This tool is effective for accumulation and analysis of operation data in the crystallization processes.
A dialog concerning the linguistic status of creole languages (1988)

In Pieter Muysken's stimulating, informative, and comprehensive overview of Creole theories there are unfortunately one or two misinterpretations of my position. While I have claimed that Creoles are more alike than other languages, and have suggested that they may be in some sense more natural than other languages, I don't think I have ever explicitly stated that they are more simple: the whole concept of simplicity in language is strewn with epistemological and other landmines, and should perhaps be avoided altogether.

Martensitic Transformation Behavior of a Shape Memory Ti&ndash;40.5Ni&ndash;10Cu Alloy Affected by the C11<I><SUB>b</SUB></I>-type Precipitates (1996)

Effect of aging at 873 K on the two-step B2→B19→B19′ transformation of a shape memory Ti–40.5Ni–10Cu alloy was studied. It was found that the start temperature of the B2→B19 transformation and that of the B19→B19′ transformation increase with increasing aging time. The start temperatures of the reverse transformations also increase. The temperature range of the two-step transformation decreases with increasing aging time. The aged Ti–40.5Ni–10Cu alloy is composed of the matrix with B2-type structure (ac=0.3029 nm) and precipitates with C11b-type structure (at=0.3132 nm, ct=0.7991 nm). The precipitates are partly coherent with the matrix and are plate-like in shape having a orientation relationship [100]c//[100]t and [001]c//[001]t, and a habit plane {001}c. The increase of transformation temperature is caused by the precipitation through aging. The precipitation increases the Ti content of the matrix, and the precipitates act as a nucleation sites of B19 martensite due to strain field around them preferable for the B19 martensite.
Engineering leadership through tradition and innovation (1994)

Engineering is a social enterprise, and those who would be the leaders in our society should emerge from the ranks of those who best practice the best engineering. Understanding the fundamentals of engineering leadership and the rigors of project management are the basis of the continuing educational program of the Gordon Institute at Tufts University. Through the combination of intellectual resources from the traditional Arts, Sciences and Engineering Departments of Tufts University with the real-world industrial innovation and program management specialists of the Gordon Institute, a unique educational opportunity has been created. Looking forward to its seventh graduating class this spring, the Gordon Institute is realizing the aspirations and the expectations of its founder. This paper will describe these expectations and the program of engineering leadership at the Gordon Institute.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Calculating an estimate of tissue integrated activity in 18F-FDG PET imaging using one SUV value (2013)

Estimation of integrated activity in an arbitrary tissue using one SUV value is possible, with measurement uncertainty related to required assumptions. A formula allows quick estimation that does not underestimate integrated activity so that it could be helpful in circumstances such as accidental exposure, or for epidemiologic purposes such as in patients having undergone several examinations.
