Well-Characterized Monoclonal Antibodies against Cell Wall Antigen of <i>Aspergillus</i> Species Improve Immunoassay Specificity and Sensitivity (2007)

The diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) based on the detection of Aspergillus galactomannan (GM) is complicated by the presence of cross-reactive GM epitopes in patient specimens. We have developed a novel and specific Aspergillus antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) by the selection of two well-characterized monoclonal antibodies from 17 candidate antibodies. The epitopes recognized by the monoclonal antibodies were present on the cell walls of the hyphae and the conidia of Aspergillus species, which were circulating or excreted as immunodominant antigens during the acute phase of IA established in the animal models. The detection of experimental Aspergillus-mediated antigenemia was suitably sensitive, and the sensitivity was comparable to that of a commercial GM detection ELISA kit (the Platelia Aspergillus assay). Moreover, the specificity of this assay was 100% when it was used to test 382 serum specimens and 120 urine specimens from healthy individuals. Cross-reactivity with other common opportunistic fungi, such as Penicillium and Candida species, and with purified GM protein derived from Aspergillus was not evident. Therefore, the chemical nature of the epitopes captured in this assay is most likely not associated with the GM structure, indicating that this newly developed Aspergillus antigen-capture ELISA is a promising tool for the diagnosis of IA without the risk of the false-positive results that are problematic with current GM antigen assays.
Speed control of PM synchronous motors: comparison of sliding mode and PI controllers (2004)

The control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor under a sliding mode controller is presented in this paper. A hyperbolic tangent switching function is used to overcome the chattering problem. The system is examined under extensive load disturbances, parameter uncertainty and noisy feedback signals by computer simulation. The results prove a superior motor performance over a PI controller in terms of robustness, smoothness and fast dynamics.
A low-cost video frame-rate up conversion using compressed-domain information (2005)

A new low-cost video frame-rate up conversion (FRC) technique that exploits compressed-domain information is proposed in this paper. Recent worldwide growth of digital video applications such as home AV network or mobile multimedia have been demanding higher video compression ratio in order to meet system requirements due to limited bandwidth or storage capacity. Enhancement of temporal resolution using FRC at decoder side is attractive in a sense that the R-D performance can be maintained even at low bitrates by dropping frames during encoding process and recovering them at the decoder. The proposed FRC aims to provide accurate estimates of motion vectors for recovered frames based on compressed-domain information. The goal of our study is to realize a decoder design with robust FRC over a variety of implementation platforms from mobile to consumer set-top.
Gear-shift decoding (2006)

This paper considers a class of iterative message-passing decoders for low-density parity-check codes in which the decoder can choose its decoding rule from a set of decoding algorithms at each iteration. Each available decoding algorithm may have a different per-iteration computation time and performance. With an appropriate choice of algorithm at each iteration, overall decoding latency can be reduced significantly, compared with standard decoding methods. Such a decoder is called a gear-shift decoder because it changes its decoding rule (shifts gears) in order to guarantee both convergence and maximum decoding speed (minimum decoding latency). Using extrinsic information transfer charts, the problem of finding the optimum (minimum decoding latency) gear-shift decoder is formulated as a computationally tractable dynamic program. The optimum gear-shift decoder is proved to have a decoding threshold equal to or better than the best decoding threshold among those of the available algorithms. In addition to speeding up software decoder implementations, gear-shift decoding can be applied to optimize a pipelined hardware decoder, minimizing hardware cost for a given decoder throughput
On the role of peptide hydrolysis for fibrillation kinetics and amyloid fibril morphology (2018)

Self-assembly of proteins into amyloid-like nanofibrils is not only a key event in several diseases, but such fibrils are also associated with intriguing biological function and constitute promising components for new biobased materials. The bovine whey protein β-lactoglobulin has emerged as an important model protein for the development of such materials. We here report that peptide hydrolysis is the rate-determining step for fibrillation of β-lactoglobulin in whey protein isolate. We also explore the observation that β-lactoglobulin nanofibrils of distinct morphologies are obtained by simply changing the initial protein concentration. We find that the morphological switch is related to different nucleation mechanisms and that the two classes of nanofibrils are associated with variations of the peptide building blocks. Based on the results, we propose that the balance between protein concentration and the hydrolysis rate determines the structure of the formed nanofibrils.
The integration of business intelligence and knowledge management (2002)

Enterprise executives understand that timely, accurate knowledge can mean improved business performance. Two technologies have been central in improving the quantitative and qualitative value of the knowledge available to decision makers: business intelligence and knowledge management. Business intelligence has applied the functionality, scalability, and reliability of modern database management systems to build ever-larger data warehouses, and to utilize data mining techniques to extract business advantage from the vast amount of available enterprise data. Knowledge management technologies, while less mature than business intelligence technologies, are now capable of combining today's content management systems and the Web with vastly improved searching and text mining capabilities to derive more value from the explosion of textual information. We believe that these systems will blend over time, borrowing techniques from each other and inspiring new approaches that can analyze data and text together, seamlessly. We call this blended technology BIKM. In this paper, we describe some of the current business problems that require analysis of both text and data, and some of the technical challenges posed by these problems. We describe a particular approach based on an OLAP (on-line analytical processing) model enhanced with text analysis, and describe two tools that we have developed to explore this approach—eClassifier performs text analysis, and Sapient integrates data and text through an OLAP-style interaction model. Finally, we discuss some new research that we are pursuing to enhance this approach.
All-polarization maintaining femtosecond Er-doped fiber laser mode-locked by graphene saturable absorber (2012)

All-polarization maintaining, graphene-based passively mode-locked erbium doped fiber laser is presented. The laser consists of fully polarization maintaining (PM) fibers and components, providing linear output polarization state with degree of polarization (DOP) at the level of 93.5%. The saturable absorber was formed by mechanical exfoliation of graphene flakes from pure graphite and deposited on a fiber connector. Soliton pulses at 1555 nm were achieved with 45.88 MHz repetition rate with 590 fs duration.
THE LATTICE SPACINGS OF NICKEL SOLID SOLUTIONS (1957)

New lattice spacing measurements in terminal nickel solid solutions with Cr, Mn, Co, Zn, Ga, Ge, In, and Sn solutes are reported and discussed, and the relationship of lattice distortion and the depression of the solidus temperature is examined in solid solutions of the First Long Period elements in nickel.
Auctions and Takeovers (2002)

Under Delaware law (the predominant corporate law in the US), when a potential acquirer makes a serious bid for a target, the target’s board of directors is required to act as would ‘auctioneers charged with getting the best price for the stock-holders at a sale of the company’ (Revlon v. Mac Andrews & Forbes, 173). The target’s board may not use defensive tactics that destroy the auction process and must attempt to seek higher bids. Similarly, the Williams Act requires takeover bids to remain open for at least 20 business days on the grounds that the delay facilitates auctions. This preference for auctions follows from the view that auctions maximize shareholder returns. In addition, auctions promote efficiency by shifting corporate assets into the hands of those that value them most highly. And auctions mitigate the collective action problem of target shareholders by requiring the target board to seek the highest bid.
Propriétés des solutions aqueuses de polyélectrolytes en présence de sels neutres (1973)

Dans ce travail, nous proposons une méthode pour l’étude des potentiels électrostatiques dans une solution de polyélectrolyte en présence d’électrolyte neutre. Il s’agit d’une extension du traitement adopté pour un système comportant un mélange d’ions compensateurs monovalents et bivalents. La méthode permet d’obtenir la distribution des potentiels Ψ (r) et, par voie de conséquence, celle des co-ions et des ions compensateurs dans la solution.
Plastic Flow During Hot‐Pressing (1972)

The contribution of plastic flow to overall densification of a powder compact during hot‐pressing was analyzed by incorporating the creep characteristics of materials at high temperatures into an equation applicable to hot‐pressing conditions. When the particles are assumed to be spherical and when the effective stress acting at the points of contact under axial loading conditions is taken into consideration, the final form of the equation is: image where α 1 and β are geometric constants which can be calculated from the packing geometry, A and n are material constants, D is the relative density of the compact, and R is the radius of the spheres at any stage of deformation in arbitrary units. Computerized plots of D vs t were obtained for several materials. Experimental verification of these plots using hot‐pressing data for Pb‐2% Sb, Ni, and Al 2 O 3 spheres and coarse irregular Al 2 O 3 particles showed that the experimental data fitted the theoretical prediction for orthorhombic packing well. A large deviation with respect to the initial packing density was encountered with very fine irregular Al 2 O 3 powder, although its densification behavior with time was similar to that of the coarse particles.

Resource utilization factor: the RUF concept as an energy measurement tool (1976)

The resource utilization factor (RUF) may be defined as: a multiplier, applied to the quantity of energy delivered to the site, which provides quantitative estimates of the resources consumed in providing that energy. This multiplier accounts for the burdens of processing, refining, transporting, converting, and delivering energy from the point of extraction to the building site. Specific RUFs for coal, gas, oil, and electricity are developed.
Non-breaking and breaking solitary wave run-up (2002)

The run-up of non-breaking and breaking solitary waves on a uniform plane beach connected to a constant-depth wave tank was investigated experimentally and numerically. If only the general characteristics of the run-up process and the maximum run-up are of interest, for the case of a breaking wave the post-breaking condition can be simplified and represented as a propagating bore. A numerical model using this bore structure to treat the process of wave breaking and subsequent shoreward propagation was developed. The nonlinear shallow water equations (NLSW) were solved using the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) shock capturing scheme employed in gas dynamics. Wave breaking and post-breaking propagation are handled automatically by this scheme and ad hoc terms are not required. A computational domain mapping technique was used to model the shoreline movement. This numerical scheme was found to provide a relatively simple and reasonably good prediction of various aspects of the run-up process. The energy dissipation associated with wave breaking of solitary wave run-up (excluding the effects of bottom friction) was also estimated using the results from the numerical model.

Design and Computational Methods in Basic Mechanics Courses (1997)

Abstract This paper describes the changes incorporated in experimental versions of the two basic mechanics courses in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University to increase the design and computer content. These Statics and Strength of Materials classes include linear algebra, an introduction to matrix methods of structural analysis including truss elements in one and two dimensions, and the constant strain triangle. Design analysis projects are also added to the courses. We describe the new material, what has been eliminated, and our reasons for these choices. Examples of computer projects, students' reactions, and plans for the future are also summarized.

Quadrupole Coupling and Bond Structure in ReO3F, ReO3Cl, and MnO3F (1959)

A theoretical explanation is offered to account for the magnitude and sign of the quadrupole coupling constants in ReO3F, ReO3Cl, and MnO3F. Subject to the requirement that the valence electron bonding orbitals of Re and Mn have a tetrahedral configuration, a combination of s, p, and d atomic orbitals is chosen which tends to minimize the energies of bond formation. Results of the analysis reveal that, in order to account for the observed quadrupole couplings, the effect of atom core polarization must be considered. It is shown in particular that the contribution to the electric field gradient at the Re nucleus from the polarized electron core is more than 25 times that of the external polarizing ions themselves. Comparison of the quadrupole coupling in ReO3F with that of atomic Re shows that the amount of unbalanced p electron along the molecular symmetry axis is nearly zero and thus provides a reasonable explanation for the pronounced dependence of eqQ(Re) on the state of molecular vibration.

Thyroid hormone control of Na+-K+-ATPase and K+-dependent phosphatase in rat heart (1977)

To assess the possible role of the Na+ pump in mediating physiological responses to thyroid hormone in the rat myocardium, we examined the effects of L-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) on the activities of the closely associated enzymes, Na+-K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) and K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K-dep-pNPPase). In hypothyroid rats, administration of T3 (50 microng/100 g body wt) resulted in significant increases (greater than 50%) in Na-K-ATPase and K-dep-pNPPase activities in both crude homogenates and microsomal fractions of the rat ventricle. Significant effects on Na-K-ATPase activity were also attained with low doses (1 microng/100 g body wt) of T3. A method was developed for assaying K-dep-pNPPase activity in cardiac slices. With this technique, enhancement in K-dep-pNPPase activity of 89.2% was found in ventricle slices after treatment of hypothyroid rats with T3 (50 microng/100 g body wt), implying that augmentation of the capacity of the Na+ pump is achieved in vivo. The potent analogue, L-3,5-diiodo-3' isopropyl thyronine (isopropyl T2) had the same effects on cardiac growth and Na-K-ATPase as T3, in hypothyroid rats. In contrast, the relatively inactive isomer, L-3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (reverse T3) had no significant effect on the heart weight-to-body weight ratio or on ventricular Na-K-ATPase activity.
