Tenacibaculum skagerrakense sp. nov., a marine bacterium isolated from the pelagic zone in Skagerrak, Denmark (2004)

A number of bacteria were isolated from sea water in Skagerrak, Denmark, at 30 m depth. Two of the isolates, strains D28 and D30(T), belonged to the Flavobacteriaceae within the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides group. Sequencing of 16S rRNA genes of the two strains indicated strongly that they belonged to the genus Tenacibaculum and that they showed greatest similarity to the species Tenacibaculum amylolyticum and Tenacibaculum mesophilum. DNA-DNA hybridization values, DNA base composition and phenotypic characteristics separated the Skagerrak strains from the other species within TENACIBACULUM: Thus, it is concluded that the strains belong to a novel species within the genus Tenacibaculum, for which the name Tenacibaculum skagerrakense sp. nov. is proposed, with strain D30(T) (=ATCC BAA-458(T)=DSM 14836(T)) as the type strain.

Cross-Domain Visual Recognition via Domain Adaptive Dictionary Learning (2018)

In real-world visual recognition problems, the assumption that the training data (source domain) and test data (target domain) are sampled from the same distribution is often violated. This is known as the domain adaptation problem. In this work, we propose a novel domain-adaptive dictionary learning framework for cross-domain visual recognition. Our method generates a set of intermediate domains. These intermediate domains form a smooth path and bridge the gap between the source and target domains. Specifically, we not only learn a common dictionary to encode the domain-shared features, but also learn a set of domain-specific dictionaries to model the domain shift. The separation of the common and domain-specific dictionaries enables us to learn more compact and reconstructive dictionaries for domain adaptation. These dictionaries are learned by alternating between domain-adaptive sparse coding and dictionary updating steps. Meanwhile, our approach gradually recovers the feature representations of both source and target data along the domain path. By aligning all the recovered domain data, we derive the final domain-adaptive features for cross-domain visual recognition. Extensive experiments on three public datasets demonstrates that our approach outperforms most state-of-the-art methods.
Tight Mechanism Correlation Between Heart Rate Turbulence and Baroreflex Sensitivity: Sequential Autonomic Blockade Analysis (2002)

Heart rate turbulence of turbulence onset and turbulence slope is critically vagal dependent and highly correlated with spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity, which underscores its clinical importance in cardiovascular risk stratification.
The device made of nothing (2014)

After all, in the United States vacuum tubes had given way to smaller and less power-hungry solid-state devices two decades earlier, not long after William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain cobbled together the first transistor at Bell Laboratories in 1947. By the mid-1970s, the only vacuum tubes you could find in Western electronics were hidden away in certain kinds of specialized equipment¿not counting the ubiquitous picture tubes of television sets. Today even those are gone, and outside of a few niches, vacuum tubes are an extinct technology. So it might come as a surprise to learn that some very modest changes to the fabrication techniques now used to build integrated circuits could yet breathe vacuum electronics back to life.
THE STRANGE HISTORIES OF SOME ANATOMICAL TERMS (1959)

NAKED-EYE human anatomy employs some five thousand technical terms. The wretched student is still urged to acquire about halfthat number though anover- due attempt is being made to reduce his burden. How many or how few of these words of The Art the medical man carries with him iWto practice no one can say. My own guess is that they amount to under a thousand, but even that is a considerable vocabulary. Here I shall not discuss ,any term that is not in general medical use. To give any meaning to what I have to say, I must remind the reader of a few outstanding facts in the general history of our anatomical terminology.
Oral Ingestion of Bacterially Expressed dsRNA Can Silence Genes and Cause Mortality in a Highly Invasive, Tree-Killing Pest, the Emerald Ash Borer (2020)

RNA interference (RNAi) is a naturally occurring process inhibiting gene expression, and recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism have allowed its development as a tool against insect pests. A major challenge for deployment in the field is the development of convenient and efficient methods for production of double stranded RNA (dsRNA). We assessed the potential for deploying bacterially produced dsRNA as a bio-pesticide against an invasive forest pest, the emerald ash borer (EAB). EAB feeds on the cambial tissue of ash trees (<i>Fraxinus</i> spp.), causing rapid death. EAB has killed millions of trees in North America since its discovery in 2002, prompting the need for innovative management strategies. In our study, bacterial expression and synthesis of dsRNA were performed with <i>E. coli</i> strain HT115 using the L4440 expression vector. EAB-specific dsRNAs (<i>shi</i> and <i>hsp</i>) over-expressed in <i>E. coli</i> were toxic to neonate EAB after oral administration, successfully triggering gene silencing and subsequent mortality; however, a non-specific dsRNA control was not included. Our results suggest that ingestion of transformed <i>E. coli</i> expressing dsRNAs can induce an RNAi response in EAB. To our knowledge, this is the first example of an effective RNAi response induced by feeding dsRNA-expressing bacteria in a forest pest.
Ultralayered Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> for High-Performance Supercapacitor Applications (2011)

Ultralayered Co3O4 structures with high porosity have been synthesized by a facile homogeneous precipitation process under hydrothermal conditions. The superstructures consist of well-arranged micrometer length rectangular 2D flakes with high specific surface area, pore volume, and uniform pore size distribution. The electrochemical measurements demonstrate that charge storage occurs in ultralayered Co3O4 due to reversible redox reactions. The charge–discharge study shows that the material is capable of delivering very high specific capacitance of 548 F g–1 at a current density of 8 A g–1 and retains 66% of capacitance at 32 A g–1. The charge–discharge stability measurements show excellent specific capacitance retention capability, ca. 98.5% after 2000 continuous charge–discharge cycles at high current density of 16 A g–1. The exceptional cyclic, structural, and electrochemical stability at higher current rate with ∼100% Coulombic efficiency, and very low ESR value from impedance measurements promise good utility value of ultralayered Co3O4 material in fabricating a wide range of high-performance electrochemical supercapacitors.

PSF Recovery from Examples for Blind Super-Resolution (2007)

This paper addresses the problem of super-resolving a single image and recovering the characteristics of the sensor using a learning-based approach. In particular, the point spread function (PSF) of the camera is sought by minimizing the mean Euclidean distance function between patches from the input frame and from degraded versions of high-resolution training images. Once an estimate of the PSF is obtained, a supervised learning algorithm can then be used as is. Results are compared with another method for blind super-resolution by using a series of quality measures.
Steroidal Glycosides from the Root of Cynanchum caudatum M. (1995)

Novel steroidal glycosides 2-4, 6-11, 13-19 and 20 were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum caudatum M. (Asclepiadaceae). The structures of these steroidal glycosides were determined on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. All of these glycosides contain 2, 6-dideoxyhexopyranoses as component sugars, and their structures were elucidated as esterified pregnane-type.
Review of long-term adverse effects associated with the use of chemically-modified animal and nonanimal source hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (2008)

Although only recently introduced, chemically-modified hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have gained widespread acceptance as "redefining" dermal fillers in the fields of dermatology and cosmetic facial surgery. Although hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers have a low overall incidence of long-term side effects, occasional adverse outcomes, ranging from chronic lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory reactions to classic foreign body-type granulomatous reactions have been documented. These long-term adverse events are reviewed.
Induction Kinetics of the <scp>l</scp> -Arabinose Operon of <i>Escherichia coli</i> (1973)

After addition of l-arabinose to growing Escherichia coli, the l-ribulokinase (EC 2.7.1.16) and l-arabinose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.4) first appear at about 0.7 and 1.4 min, respectively. These times are consistent with the distances of the genes from the ribonucleic acid polymerase initiation site in the operon. The kinetics of appearance of these enzymes as well as those of beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) in the same strain are consistent with a peptide elongation rate of no less than 14 amino acids per second. A measurement of the average peptide elongation rate made by measuring the kinetics of radioactive amino acid appearance in completed polypeptides yielded a rate of about 12 amino acids per s. Convenient assays of the arabinose isomerase and ribulokinase are also given.

Role of nuclear factor-κB in volatile anaesthetic preconditioning with sevoflurane during myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (2010)

APC with sevoflurane produced myocardial protection against ischaemia/reperfusion in vivo. NF-kappaB acted not only as a trigger but also as a mediator that played an important role in APC through upregulation of NF-kappaB and the antiapoptosis protein Bcl-2 during the preconditioning period and then through downregulation of the inflammatory proteins intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha during reperfusion, ultimately decreasing caspase-3 expression and apoptosis.
Picking the Wrong Fight: Why Attacks on the World Trade Organization Pose the Real Threat to National Environmental and Public Health Protection (2005)

A principal reason for popular concern about the World Trade Organisation is that national rules—especially those for environmental and public health pro-tection—may be overturned because they are incompatible with the WTO's rules. This article argues that while these concerns are not totally unfounded, they are exaggerated. A central reason for this exaggeration is that environmental and consumer advocates discount the pivotal role of governments in the dispute resolution process. Governments agree to the multilateral rules in the first place. Governments decide which market access barriers to pursue and how aggressively. Governments determine how to comply with a WTO judgment that goes against them. Furthermore, this article contends that by exaggerating the constraint imposed upon national governments by the WTO, consumer and environmental advocates run the risk of actually discouraging the very environmental and public health regulations they favor.
Î²-Glucosidase from the cellulolytic system of Alternaria alternata autolyzed cultures (1988)

A β-glucosidase from centrifugated autolyzed cultures of Alternaria alternata has been purified 71 times by Sephadex G-200, CM-Biogel A and DEAE-Biogel A successively. The enzyme is a glycoprotein with 16% sugar and a Mr of 160 000, formed by two subunits of 60 000 and 80 000. The enzyme has optimum pH of 5 units and optimum reaction temperature of 50°C, being stable in a pH range of 3–8 and 0 to 60°C. The enzyme hydrolyzes different substrates showing maximum affinity and maximum hydrolysis velocity on cellobiose. The β-glucosidase is inhibited by gluconolactone but not by 10 mM glucose.
A family of closely related ATP‐binding subunits from prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (1988)

Abstract A large number of cellular proteins bind ATP, frequently utilizing the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to drive specific biological reactions. Recently, a family of closely related ATP‐binding proteins has been identified, the members of which share considerable sequence identity. These proteins, from both prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources, presumably had a common evolutionary origin and include the product of the white locus of Drosophila , the P‐glycoprotein which confers multidrug resistance on mammalian tumours, and prokaryotic proteins associated with such diverse processes as membrane transport, cell division, nodulation and DNA repair. A comparison of these various proteins provides valuable insights into the function and evolution of the multicomponent systems with which they are associated.
Risk and supply chain management: creating a research agenda (2007)

Purpose - The aim of this paper is to develop a research agenda for risk and supply chain management. This is achieved by reviewing the literature on supply chain risk and locating it within the general literature on risk. Design/methodology/approach - A review of the general literature on risk and the specific literature on supply chain risk was undertaken. Findings - The paper shows that there are a number of key debates in the general literature on risk, especially in terms of qualitative versus quantitative approaches, which need to be recognised by those seeking to apply risk theory and risk management approaches to supply chains. In addition, the paper shows that the application of risk theory to supply chain management is still in its early stages and that the models of supply chain risk which have been proposed need to be tested empirically. Research limitations/implications - This is a literature review and, therefore, is based on secondary rather than primary sources. Practical implications - The paper proposes a research agenda aimed at developing models of supply chain risk management based on combining the wider theory and practice of risk management with the needs and practices of supply chain management. Originality/value - This paper brings together the literatures on general risk and supply chain risk; and identifies key issues and research questions which need to be addressed in applying risk management to supply chains.
The multifaceted small RNAs (2008)

Small RNA molecules are now being recognized as master regulators of gene activity. Although known initially for their gene-silencing functions, recent discoveries have revealed that small RNAs can also activate gene expression. These two opposing activities of gene silencing and activation together constitute an integrated gene regulatory mechanism.
Reduction of urinary 8‐epi‐prostaglandin F<sub>2<i>α</i></sub> during cyclo‐oxygenase inhibition in rats but not in man (1997)

1. 8-epi-prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha, a major F2 isoprostane, is produced in vivo by free radical-dependent peroxidation of lipid-esterified arachidonic acid. Both cyclo-oxygenase isoforms (COX-1 and COX-2) may also form free 8-epi-PGF2 alpha as a minor product. It has been recently seen in human volunteers that the overall basal formation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha in vivo is mostly COX-independent and urinary 8-epi-PGF2 alpha is therefore an accurate marker of 'basal' oxidative stress in vivo. 2. To test the validity of this marker in the rat, we evaluated in vivo the effect of COX inhibition on the formation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha vs prostanoids. Two structurally unrelated COX inhibitors (naproxen: 30 mg kg-1 day-1; indomethacin: 4 mg kg-1 day-1) were given i.p. to rats kept in metabolic cages. In vivo formation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha was assessed by measuring its urinary excretion. Prostanoid biosynthesis was assessed by measuring urinary excretion of major metabolites of thromboxane (TX) and prostacyclin (2,3-dinor-TXB1 and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha). All compounds were selectively measured by immunopurification/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 3. Naproxen reduced urinary excretion of 2,3-dinor-TXB1 and 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha but, unexpectedly, also that of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha (82, 49 and 52% inhibition, respectively). Indomethacin had a similar effect (77, 69 and 55% inhibition). Esterified 8-epi-PGF2 alpha in liver and plasma remained unchanged after indomethacin. 4. These findings prompted us to re-assess the contribution of COX activity to the systemic production of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha in man. We gave naproxen (1 g day-1) to healthy subjects (four nonsmokers and four smokers). Urinary 8-epi-PGF2 alpha remained unchanged in the two groups (9.63 +/- 0.99 before vs 10.24 +/- 1.01 after and 20.14 +/- 3.00 vs 19.03 +/- 2.45 ng h-1 1.73 m-2), whereas there was a marked reduction of major urinary metabolites of thromboxane and prostacyclin (about 90% for both 11-dehydro-TXB2 and 2,3-dinor-TXB2; > 50% for 2,3-dinor-6-keto-PGF1 alpha). 5. To investigate whether rat COX-1 produces 8-epi-PGF2 alpha more efficiently than human COX-1, we measured the ex vivo formation of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha and TXB2 simultaneously in whole clotting blood. Serum levels of 8-epi-PGF2 alpha and TXB2 were similar in rats and man. 6. We conclude that a significant amount of COX-dependent 8-epi-PGF2 alpha is present in rat but not in human urine under normal conditions. This implies that urinary 8-epi-PGF2 alpha cannot be used as an index of near-basal oxidant stress in rats. On the other hand, our data further confirm the validity of this marker in man.
AC-PKI: anonymous and certificateless public-key infrastructure for mobile ad hoc networks (2005)

This paper studies public-key management, a fundamental problem in providing security support for mobile ad hoc networks. The infrastructureless nature and network dynamics of ad hoc networks make the conventional certificate-based public-key solutions less suitable. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel anonymous and certificateless public-key infrastructure (AC-PKI) for ad hoc networks. AC-PKI enables public-key services with certificateless public keys and thus avoids the complicated certificate management inevitable in conventional certificate-based solutions. To satisfy the demand for private keys during network operation, we employ the secret-sharing technique to distribute a system master-key among a preselected set of nodes, called D-PKG, which offer a collaborative private-key-generation service. In addition, we identify pinpoint attacks against D-PKG and propose anonymizing D-PKG as the countermeasure. Moreover, we determine the optimal secret-sharing parameters to achieve the maximum security.
HISDL—a structure description language (1982)

The features of a language designed for the description of the structure of computer systems are described. The structure of a system is specified hierarchically as an interconnection of components with each component being a named instance of a component type. The system itself is another component type. The interconnection between components is specified in two ways: either by specifying all the ports that are connected together, or by specifying a component and the ports that are connected to its ports. A structure specification is a list of such connection specifications. The language has an iterative construct for specifying highly regular structures, and a conditional construct is also provided. A component type can be recursively specified while parameterization of component type specifications is supported. The latter is particularly useful for specifying classes of components of similar structure.
Intracoronary β-Irradiation With a Liquid <sup>188</sup> Re-Filled Balloon (2000)

Coronary irradiation with a (188)Re-filled balloon is technically feasible and safe, requiring only standard percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty techniques. The target lesion restenosis rate was low. The observed edge stenoses appear to be avoidable by increasing the length of the irradiated segment.
MECP2 Mutation in a Boy with Severe Neonatal Encephalopathy: Clinical, Neuropathological and Molecular Findings (2002)

We describe the clinical and neuropathological presentation of a male with an MECP2 mutation whose sister has Rett syndrome (RS). He presented with severe neonatal encephalopathy and died at the age of 13 months. Mutation analysis of the MECP2 gene demonstrated a 488 - 489 del mutation in his and his sister's copies of the gene. Post mortem examination revealed bilateral polymicrogyria in the perisylvian region. This malformation was visibly more severe than previously described in females with RS and another male with an MECP2 mutation. As bilateral polymicrogyria was described in congenital perisylvian syndrome, the presented patient could be regarded as having suffered from a severe form of this syndrome. We conclude that MECP2 screening should be considered in males with severe neonatal encephalopathy and in males and females with a bilateral polymicrogyria syndrome.
Experiments on Some Particular Permittivity Sensors in Nondestructive Testing of Dielectric Materials (1992)

The basic principles of electromagnetic (EM) techniques for nondestructive testing (NDT) of dielectric materials are first reviewed in consideration of the physical phenomena involved in the interaction between the material being tested and the exploring radiation. Applications and experimental results of particular nondestructive measuring techniques based on the use of radio frequency (RF) capacitive and microwave (MW) resonant sensors are then reported. The aim is to investigate the possibility of using EM waves in industrial NDT of dielectric materials. The use of these waves for such purposes is not yet as common as that of other types of radiation and many aspects still require investigation.
Compression by model combination (2002)

In the probabilistic framework for data compression, a model of the probability distribution of a data source is constructed, and the predicted probability is entropy coded. To achieve better compression, most traditional methods resort to higher order models. However, this approach is limited by memory and often suffers from the context dilution problem. In this paper, we present methods that allow us to combine a few low order models to achieve equivalent or better compression of a high order model. We show that when applying our techniques to bi-level images, we are able to achieve the state of the art compression within the probabilistic framework.
