ASTRID: An Attempt to Make the Microsatellite a Useful Tool for Space Science (2025)

The ASTRID microsatellite (27 kg) was built and launched to demonstrate that "good science" can be done with a microsatellite. It has deployable solar panels to provide plenty of power, a high downlink data rate and a flexible structure design to provide a good field-of-view for the scientific sensors. The satellite was developed and launched in 15 months at a total cost of $1.4 million and has provided pioneering imagery of energetic neutral particles in the earth's magnetisphere.
A 3 ns 1 K*4 static self-time GaAs RAM (2003)

A GaAs 1 K*4 static self-timed random-access memory (SSTRAM) with input and output latches and internal write-pulse generation has been designed, fabricated, and tested. Fully functional SSTRAMs have been obtained, with a worst-case clock access time (equal to read and write cycle time) of 3.6 ns for a 1.9-W device. This part is manufactured using three levels of interconnect metallization and a novel high-margin enhancement-depletion (HMED) process, and utilizes many innovative circuits. >
A Multiconcentration Controlled Test Atmosphere System for Calibration Studies (1984)

A novel controlled test atmosphere system was developed to generate multiple concentrations of gases and vapors simultaneously. It was used successfully to study the effectiveness of two air monitoring methods to analyze for various organic compounds. Three concentrations were generated simultaneously to determine the methods' performance. This was accomplished in a single run, requiring one day, greatly improving validation efficiency. Prior to development of this system, a separate test run was required at each concentration requiring three days. Essential elements of the system include: dynamic serial dilution of the air stream to produce three concentrations; all inert surface construction (Teflon, glass, and stainless steel); diffusion/permeation tube generation with multicompound capability; low pressure drop by use of large tubing and low pressure differential mass flow meters.
Exploiting quasiperiodic order in the design of optical devices (2001)

In this work we present a prospective study on the potential capabilities of optical devices based on Fibonacci dielectric multilayers. We perform a detailed analytical comparison of the linear optical response of periodic versus quasiperiodic multilayers. Based on this study we will suggest the use of hybrid-order devices, composed of both periodic and quasiperiodic subunits to design microcavities of practical interest, and we provide some illustrative examples. From our study we conclude that the inclusion of quasiperiodically ordered subunits substantially widens the possibilities of engineering modular optical structures.
Non‐regularly shaped plasmon resonant nanoparticle as localized light source for near‐field microscopy (2001)

We study numerically two-dimensional nanoparticles with a non-regular shape and demonstrate that these particles can support many more plasmon resonances than a particle with a regular shape (e.g. an ellipse). The electric field distributions associated with these different resonances are investigated in detail in the context of near-field microscopy. Depending on the particle shape, extremely strong and localized near-fields, with intensity larger than 105 that of the illumination wave, can be generated. We also discuss the spectral dependence of these near-fields and show that different spatial distributions are observed, depending which plasmon resonance is excited in the particle.
[Clinical significance of serum surfactant proteins A and D in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia]. (1996)

Pulmonary surfactant is synthesized and secreted by alveolar type II cells. The major components of surfactant are phospholipids and four distinct surfactant-specific proteins: SP-A, SP-B, SP-C, and SP-D. The concentrations of SP-D and SP-A were measured in sera of patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with monoclonal antibodies against human SP-D and SP-A. The concentrations of SP-D and SP-A in samples from the patients were, respectively, 5.7 and 2.8 times higher than those in samples from healthy volunteers; 86.2% and 71.4% of the patients had concentrations of SP-D and SP-A, respectively, that were more than 2 standard deviations greater than the mean of the control values. Moreover, the serum SP-D and SP-A concentrations appeared to reflect the disease activity of IIP. There was a negative significant correlation between the concentrations of SP-A in serum and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. These results suggest that SP-D and SP-A, which are primarily secreted from alveolar type II cells into the alveolar lumen, can enter the bloodstream easily due to injury at the alveolar-capillary membrane. We conclude that measurement of SP-D and SP-A in sera can provide an easily identifiable and useful clinical marker for the diagnosis of IIP, and can be used to predict the disease activity of IIP.
A Primer on Electronic Contracting and Transactions in North Carolina (2007)

Congress passed the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) in 2000 for the purpose of validating electronic signatures, contracts and other records. E-SIGN was passed not so much to advance the law governing electronic commerce as to acknowledge the developments in technology that had occurred during the prior two decades. The drafters recognized that business people during that time had outpaced, and would continue in the foreseeable future to outpace, the law’s development, and sought to ensure that future technological developments would not be impeded by the slower development of the law. Following the passage of ESIGN, and pursuant to its provisions, the District of Columbia and most of the states, including North Carolina, passed the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). The four jurisdictions that did not do so passed other legislation to comply with E-SIGN. Somewhat earlier, during the technological revolution of the 1990s, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) promulgated, and later revised, the Uniform Computer Information
On the Degrees of Freedom of the Cellular Network (2010)

In this paper, we consider the problem of the capacity limits of the cellular network, which is modeled as a network consisting of two mutually interfering multiple access channel with multiple antennas at each receiver (e.g. the Base Station). By developing a tight outerbound (in the sense of DoF) and an achievable scheme which exploits the idea of interference alignment, we are able to exactly characterize the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the network when the channel coefficients are time- or frequency-varying, which is, the DoF per cell is $\frac{{KM}}{{K + \min (M,K)}}$ (where $M$ and $K$ denotes the number of receiver antennas and number of users in a cell, respectively). From the DoF result, it can be observed that when the number of users is large, we can nearly achieve the interference-free DoF of a multi-antenna cell!
Isolation and Activity Assay of Secondary Metabolites of Aspergillus niger in-Habiting in Termite’s Queen Nest Macrotermes gilvus Hagen., on Enriched Media (2018)

The Fungus is a group of the microorganisms that produce secondary metabolites. Secondary metabolites of fungus may be changed in different media. Secondary metabolites from Aspergillus niger in habiting in termite’s queen nest Macrotermes gilvus Hagen are disappeared gradually in artificial media. It was the reason to enrich the media with termite’s queen nest. The purpose of this research was to obtain the similar secondary metabolites of Aspergillus niger as it grows in their habitat. Enrichment was done with the experimental method. It used three concentrations of nest 0.25; 0.75 and 1 g/mL Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) media. Isolation was done use chromatography method. The antibiotic activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 10541 were performed by the diffusion method. Results showed that enrichment of nest 1 g/mL media gave the best growth of fungus and it obtain the similar secondary metabolites as it grows in their habitat. Three pure compounds, EG-13-31-2, EG-13-34-9, and EG-13-44-2 were obtained. Based on physicochemical data, all compounds were terpenoid class and one of them (EG-13-34-9) contain the phenolic group. All compounds have activity against P seudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 10541 the bacteriostatic category. Key words: Aspergillus niger ; Macrotermes gilvus Hagen; Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA); Isolation; Enrich Media; Diffusion Method
Breeding Brassica napus for Shatter Resistance (2012)

This paper deals with the application of a laboratory test for shatter resistance in rapeseed to genetic and breeding studies of this character. This test is based on measuring the strength of the siliquae. Siliqua strength is positively correlated with shatter resistance. All the Brassica napus lines studied were shatter susceptible while some lines of B. juncea had intermediate shatter resistance. Certain lines of B. campestris vars Yellow Sarson and Brown Sarson were highly shatter resistant. In the Sarsons shatter resistance was recessive and controlled by two to three loci which showed dominant epistasis. There was considerable variation for siliqua strength in segregating populations of crosses between the Sarsons and B. napus and in progenies derived from irradiation of the B. napus cv. Midas. These materials provide good potential for incorporating shatter resistance in rapeseed.
DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) based DTP (Distributed Transaction Processing) (2002)

In this paper, we present the implementation of Hanuri/T based on TxRPC that is an open standard of the X/Open distributed transaction processing models. Hanuri/T satisfies the properties of transactions of a RPC(Remote Procedure Calls) required by TM(Transaction Manager). Hanuri/T processes distributed transaction based on the OSF (Open System Foundation)/DCE (Distributed Computing Environments) RPC protocols. We maintain a good level of portability between Hanuri/T by the adoption of OSF/DCE RPC and 2 phase commit protocols. Implementations of mechanisms for interoperability between heterogeneous TMs that are supported by any other middleware protocol still as future work.

A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the way is to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database.It is typically used in security systems and can be compared to other biometrics such as fingerprint or eye iris recognition systems. In this paper we focus on 3-D facial recognition system and biometric facial recognision system. We do critics on facial recognision system giving effectiveness and weaknesses. This paper also introduces scope of recognision system in India.
Bcl-2 family proteins in breast development and cancer: could Mcl-1 targeting overcome therapeutic resistance? (2015)

Apoptosis, cell death executed by caspases, is essential to normal breast development and homeostasis. Pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic signals are tightly regulated in normal breast epithelial cells. Dysregulation of this balance is required for breast tumorigenesis and increases acquired resistance to treatments, including molecularly targeted therapies, radiation and chemotherapies. The pro-apoptotic or anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members interact with each other to maintain mitochondrial integrity and regulate cellular commitment to apoptosis. Among the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, Mcl-1 is uniquely regulated by numerous oncogenic signaling pathways. This review will focus on the role of Bcl-2 family proteins in normal breast development, breast tumorigenesis and acquired resistance to breast cancer treatment strategies, while highlighting Mcl-1 as a promising target to improve breast cancer tumor cell killing.

증례보고 : 임신 중 질정맥류 1예 (2012)

임신 중 질정맥류는 드물며 몇 개의 사례만이 보고되었을 뿐이다. 대부분은 무증상이나, 일부에서는 국소적 덩어리가 만져지며, 심각한 불편감이나 질출혈을 일으킬 수 있다. 32세의 산모가 임신 37주 6일에 급성 질출혈을 주소로 내원하였다. 질정맥류를 시사하는 요도하 질벽의 확장된 혈관 구조물을 볼 수 있었으며, 초음파상 질 주위의 혈류를 관찰할 수 있었다. 잠재적 질출혈의 위험성을 막기 위해 질식분만대신 제왕절개를 시행하였으며, 수술 후 경과상 특별한 문제는 없었고, 분만 6주 후 질정맥류는 자연적으로 사라졌다. 저자들은 임신 중질정맥류 1예를 경험하여 간단한 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
Supply chain logistics risks (2004)

Risks and uncertainties are ever more noted and factored into decision making today, and those stemming from supply chains are prominent in the competitiveness and viability of companies and organizations. The idea that every supply chain is made up of five internal chain/network constructs is presented, and these are physical, financial, informational, relational, and innovational. Further, four categorizations of relevant product/supply costs are presented as are four types of supply risks.
Solitary fibrous tumor (1997)

The differential diagnosis of SFT includes neurogenic tumors, mesotheliomas, sarcomatoid carcinoma, synovial sarcoma, hemangiopericytoma, and fibrosarcoma. CD34, when present, may prove equally helpful as a positive marker in cytology and in histologic preparations in the differential diagnosis of SFT.
Formation of cell-to-substrate contacts during fibroblast motility: An interference-reflexion study (1980)

The formatin of close contacts and focal contacts (ca. 30 nm and 10-15 nm separation distance respectively) has been studied during the movement of chick heart fibroblasts on planar substrates using interference-reflexion microscopy, and evaluated in the context of spreading and net movement. During spreading the overall advance of the margin of the close contact is steady, punctuated by periods in which it remains stationary, and only 5% of the time is spent withdrawing in contrast to the extreme leading edge. The close contact advances only where a lamellipodium has first extended free of the substrate (greater than or equal to 100 nm separation distance) ahead of the existing close contact. The new close contact is formed by the lamellipodium lowering to the substrate either progressively from its base forward or distally in patches which later join with the main close contact. New focal contacts are formed successively ahead of existing ones, either by microspikes or lamellipodia contacting the substrate locally ahead of the close contact, or within the close contact usually immediately, but not more than 1-2 microns, behind its margin. Examining the cell margin alternately with interference-reflexion and differential-interference contrast showed that the formation of the focal contact was preceded in 90% of the cases by the development of a linear structure in the form of a microspike (as expected), a short projection (< 2 microns long) of the lamellipodium, or a fibre within the lamellipodium, each of which could be traced to the cytoplasmic fibre typically associated with the focal contact. Stress fibres subsequently developed centripetally from these initial fibres. The different forms of the linear structure which preceded the focal contact were interchangeable, giving rise to one another, and we have evaluated that the structure common to each is probably a short bundle of microfilaments. The following features indicate that the close contact plays a primary role in marginal spreading: it is lost when spreading ceases; it is reformed when spreading resumes but only under the newly spread area; the advance of the margin of the thicker leading lamella closely follows that of the close contact; the advance of both can occur ahead of and is thus independent of existing focal contacts and associated stress fibres. We propose that the close contact provides the adhesion required to transmit to the substrate the forces involved in the forward movements of the marginal cytoplasm. The continual formation of focal contacts and stress fibres at the margin is consistent with their role, suggested by others, in drawing the bulk of the cell forward. These evaluations are discussed in the context of the form and distribution of contractile proteins in the cell margin. A primary role of the lamellipodia and microspikes in extending the cell margin and forming new adhesions, preparatory to further cytoplasmic movement, is established by this work.
From Protest to Progress: The Lesson of the Opportunities Industrialization Centers (1985)

The Opportunities Industrialization Centers (OIC) program has been helping unemployed people since its inception in 1964. OIC was a response to a national need to train and motivate the urban poor. Starting with one center in Philadelphia, OIC has expanded to nearly 100 centers in cities across America, and can now claim one of the best records for providing training and jobs to the poor and the unemployed. I have been involved with OIC since its beginning, and I intend in this article to set forth some of the history, structure, and philosophical underpinnings of the program.
Annexin A1 in inflammation and breast cancer: a new axis in the tumor microenvironment (2018)

Targeting inflammation in cancer has shown promise to improve and complement current therapies. The tumor microenvironment plays an important role in cancer growth and metastasis and -tumor associated macrophages possess pro-tumoral and pro-metastatic properties. Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is an immune-modulating protein with diverse functions in the immune system and in cancer. In breast cancer, high ANXA1 expression leads to poor prognosis and increased metastasis. Here, we will review ANXA1 as a modulator of inflammation, and discuss its importance in breast cancer and highlight its new role in alternative macrophage activation in the tumor microenvironment. This review may provide an updated understanding into the various roles of ANXA1 which may enable future therapeutic developments for the treatment of breast cancer.
Synthesis, Self-Assembly, and Drug-Loading Capacity of Well-Defined Cyclodextrin-Centered Drug-Conjugated Amphiphilic A<sub>14</sub>B<sub>7</sub> Miktoarm Star Copolymers Based on Poly(ε-caprolactone) and Poly(ethylene glycol) (2010)

Novel drug-conjugated amphiphilic A(14)B(7) miktoarm star copolymers composed of 14 poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) arms and 7 poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) arms with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) as core moiety were synthesized by the combination of controlled ring-opening polymerization (CROP) and "click" chemistry. (1)H NMR, FT-IR, and SEC-MALLS analyses confirmed the well-defined A(14)B(7) miktoarm star architecture. These amphiphilic miktoarm star copolymers could self-assemble into multimorphological aggregates in aqueous solution, which were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Moreover, the drug-loading efficiency and drug-encapsulation efficiency of the drug-conjugated miktoarm star copolymers were higher than those of the corresponding non-drug-conjugated miktoarm star copolymers.
AC/DC converter with sinusoidal input current and a single conversion stage (2003)

Stringent power supply quality standards have been introduced which limit harmonic distortion in power systems. It is general practice to eliminate the harmonics and to design switch mode power converters in such a way as to draw a pure sinewave current from the supply installation with power factor close to one. The most typical way to meet this requirement is to design a converter with two conversion stages for wave shaping of the input current and generation of a smooth DC voltage. An AC/DC power converter where both functions are performed by means of a single switching power transistor and a single magnetic component, reducing the complexity of the circuit and saving the cost of components and space, is presented. A simpler circuit also enhances the reliability of the device. Voltage and current relationships in the converter connection are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of the connection are given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Child Protection and the Conception of Parental Responsibility. (2005)

The legal discourse on child protection that is characterized by the normalization-moralization paradigm focuses more on society's response to parental failure than on the predicament of the child. Findings from texts of legal discourse in Israel and in Holland portray an alliance between the respective legal systems and an epistemology of normality with regard to parenting that thereby turns normality into normalization. Both sets of texts are guided by an ontology of moral judgment that protects societal morale rather than the child. Morality is turned into moralization. To focus on the protection of the child, the article proposes a paradigm wherein the definition of morality is derived from concern for the other and relies on constructs that represent the evolving transaction between parent and child.
Intrinsic response extraction for the removal of the parasitic effects in analog test buses (2000)

The removal of the parasitic effects is an emerging issue in the implementation of the IEEE standard 1149.4 analog test buses. For this, this paper defines the intrinsic response and derives an extraction algorithm. The intrinsic response is defined as the response of the circuit being tested by an ideal input signal without the parasitic effect. A deconvolution process is proposed to extract the intrinsic response from the response contaminated by the parasitic effects. The test results using SPICE simulation data show that the intrinsic responses remain the same regardless of the differences in the parasitic effects and the variations in the test signals. The proposed methodology is further tested in the real measurement using the MNABST-1 test chip designed by Matsushita/Panasonic and provided by 1149.4 Working Group. The test results show that the intrinsic response has an improvement of 15.4 dB in signal-to-noise ratio as compared to the direct measurement. It also extends the test frequency range by an order of magnitude. Both tests reassert that the intrinsic response is independent of parasitic effects and input signal variation. They also show that the proposed extraction algorithm is robust enough to handle not only the parasitic effects but also the noise in the real measurement environment.
