Onboard Autonomous Corrections for Accurate IRF Pointing (2003)

The dramatic improvement in the performance of star trackers both in accuracy, reliability and autonomy has led to a significant broadening of the tasks handled by star trackers. Current measurement accuracies are in the range of 1 arc second. Measurement noise, accuracy and biases can be described by three measures: Noise Equivalent Angle, Relative Instrument Accuracy and Absolute Instrument Accuracy, describing noise during constant external conditions, noise during varying external conditions including NEA but excluding biases and the total measurement noise, including NEA, RIA and biases respectively. Sensor improvements and increased instrument autonomy are the main reasons for the improved star tracker performance. The Advanced Stellar Compass (ASC) is a state of the art, fully autonomous star tracker. Its full potential was first fully exploited onboard the German CHAMP satellite. CHAMP includes two ASC’s each with two camera heads fixed together in optical benches. The ASC configuration onboard CHAMP provides an elegant platform for testing measurement accuracy and for confirming onboard corrections, which can be performed online by the ASC e.g. the correction for astronomical aberration correction.
Effect of fluoromica platelet size on the properties of segmented polyurethane nanocomposites (2004)

Segmented polyurethane nanocomposites containing three different size fractions of SomasifTM ME100 (synthetic fluoromica) have been prepared via solvent casting. The platelet size was adjusted via a proprietary milling process, and average diameters of approximately 500 nm, 100 nm and 30 nm were measured via TEM. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time the effect of aspect ratio has been studied with the same t-o-t structured mineral. The mechanical properties of these nanocomposites have been found to be highly dependent upon the platelet size. Depending on the aspect ratio and surface treatment selected, significant improvements in tensile strength can be achieved with a minimal reduction in resilience: a problem encountered with elastomeric layered silicate nanocomposites.
A self-configuring and self-administering name system (2000)

A distributed system that stores name-to-address bindings and provides name resolution to a network of computers is presented in this thesis. This name system consists of a network of name services that are self-configuring and self-administering. The name service consists of an agent program and BIND, the current implementation of DNS. The DNS agent program automatically configures a BIND process during the start-up process and automatically reconfigures and administers the BIND process depending on the changing state of the network. This name system has a scalable and fault-tolerant design and communicates using standard Internet protocols.
REAL-TIME MONITORING OF BUILDING ENERGY BEHAVIOUR: A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK (2010)

This paper presents a conceptual framework for the continuous monitoring of buildings energy state. The pro- posed methodology is based on a reduced number of low- cost temperature and power sensors. It uses an inversion procedure to combine in an optimal way a detailed ther- mal model of the building envelope and the measurements obtained from temperature sensors. The inversion proce- dure aims at reconstructing the unknown right-hand side terms of a detailed thermal model thus enabling to quan- tify the various heat transfers between the building and its environment and between the different components of the building envelope.
Detection of human antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum antigens in blood meals of anopheline mosquitoes. (1992)

Human IgG antibodies against Plasmodium falciparum asexual stages, gametocytes and sporozoites were detected by indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) techniques in the blood meals of Anopheles gambiae s.l. from a malaria-endemic area of western Kenya. Field-collected mosquitoes, which had been stored dry for over 2 years, were screened first for human IgG by ELISA. In 141 blood meal samples from human-fed mosquitoes, the prevalence of stage-specific antibodies was 87.9% for asexual-stage parasites, 78.0% for gametocytes, and 87.9% for sporozoites. There were no differences in the prevalence of stage-specific antibodies for mosquitoes collected from 2 sites, before and after the long rainy season of 1988. The detection of specific human antibodies in mosquito blood meals by IFA, or by more efficient methods, may provide alternative approaches for large-scale, epidemiologic studies of malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
PERSON—Personalized Expert Recommendation System for Optimized Nutrition (2017)

The rise of personalized diets is due to the emergence of nutrigenetics and genetic tests services. However, the recommendation system is far from mature to provide personalized food suggestion to consumers for daily usage. The main barrier of connecting genetic information to personalized diets is the complexity of data and the scalability of the applied systems. Aiming to cross such barriers and provide direct applications, a personalized expert recommendation system for optimized nutrition is introduced in this paper, which performs direct to consumer personalized grocery product filtering and recommendation. Deep learning neural network model is applied to achieve automatic product categorization. The ability of scaling with unknown new data is achieved through the generalized representation of word embedding. Furthermore, the categorized products are filtered with a model based on individual genetic data with associated phenotypic information and a case study with databases from three different sources is carried out to confirm the system.
An evaluation of the water heater load potential for providing regulation service (2011)

This paper investigates the possibility of providing aggregated regulation services with small loads, such as water heaters or air conditioners. A direct-load control algorithm is presented to aggregate the water heater load for the purpose of regulation. A dual-element electric water heater model is developed, which accounts for both thermal dynamics and users' water consumption. A realistic regulation signal was used to evaluate the number of water heaters needed and the operational characteristics of a water heater when providing 2-MW regulation service. Modeling results suggest that approximately 33, 000 water heaters are needed to provide a 2-MW regulation service 24 hours a day. However, if water heaters only provide regulation from 6:00 to 24:00, approximately 20, 000 will be needed. Because the control algorithm has considered the thermal setting of the water heater, customer comfort is maintained. Therefore, the aggregated regulation service provided by water heater loads can become a major source of revenue for load-serving entities when the smart grid enables the direct load control.
Proteomic Characterization of a Natural Host–Pathogen Interaction: Repertoire of in Vivo Expressed Bacterial and Host Surface-Associated Proteins (2014)

Interactions between a host and a bacterial pathogen are mediated by cross-talk between molecules present on, or secreted by, pathogens and host binding-molecules. Identifying proteins involved at this interface would provide substantial insights into this interaction. Although numerous studies have examined in vitro models of infection at the level of transcriptional change and proteomic profiling, there is virtually no information available on naturally occurring host-pathogen interactions in vivo. We employed membrane shaving to identify peptide fragments cleaved from surface-expressed bacterial proteins and also detected proteins originating from the infected host. We optimized this technique for media-cultured Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, a sheep pathogen, revealing a set of 247 surface proteins. We then studied a natural host-pathogen interaction by performing membrane shaving on C. pseudotuberculosis harvested directly from naturally infected sheep lymph nodes. Thirty-one bacterial surface proteins were identified, including 13 not identified in culture media, suggesting that a different surface protein repertoire is expressed in this hostile environment. Forty-nine host proteins were identified, including immune mediators and antimicrobial peptides such as cathelicidin. This novel application of proteolytic shaving has documented sets of host and pathogen proteins present at the bacterial surface in an infection of the native host.
Characterization of the Li(Si)/CoS(2) couple for a high-voltage, high-power thermal battery (2000)

In order to determined the capabilities of a thermal battery with high-voltage and high-power requirements, a detailed characterization of the candidate LiSi/LiCl-LiBr-LiF/CoS{sub 2} electrochemical couple was conducted. The rate capability of this system was investigated using 0.75 inch-dia. and 1.25 inch-dia. single and multiple cells under isothermal conditions, where the cells were regularly pulsed at increasingly higher currents. Limitations of the electronic loads and power supplies necessitated using batteries to obtain the desired maximum current densities possible for this system. Both 1.25 inch-dia. and 3 inch-dia. stacks were used with the number of cells ranging from 5 to 20. Initial tests involved 1.25 inch-dia. cells, where current densities in excess of 15 A/cm{sup 2} (>200 W/cm{sup 2}) were attained with 20-cell batteries during 1-s pulses. In subsequent follow-up tests with 3 inch-dia., 10-cell batteries, ten 400-A 1-s pulses were delivered over an operating period often minutes. These tests formed the foundation for subsequent full-sized battery tests with 125 cells with this chemistry.
Arterivirus molecular biology and pathogenesis (2013)

Arteriviruses are positive-stranded RNA viruses that infect mammals. They can cause persistent or asymptomatic infections, but also acute disease associated with a respiratory syndrome, abortion or lethal haemorrhagic fever. During the past two decades, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and, to a lesser extent, equine arteritis virus (EAV) have attracted attention as veterinary pathogens with significant economic impact. Particularly noteworthy were the 'porcine high fever disease' outbreaks in South-East Asia and the emergence of new virulent PRRSV strains in the USA. Recently, the family was expanded with several previously unknown arteriviruses isolated from different African monkey species. At the molecular level, arteriviruses share an intriguing but distant evolutionary relationship with coronaviruses and other members of the order Nidovirales. Nevertheless, several of their characteristics are unique, including virion composition and structure, and the conservation of only a subset of the replicase domains encountered in nidoviruses with larger genomes. During the past 15 years, the advent of reverse genetics systems for EAV and PRRSV has changed and accelerated the structure-function analysis of arterivirus RNA and protein sequences. These systems now also facilitate studies into host immune responses and arterivirus immune evasion and pathogenesis. In this review, we have summarized recent advances in the areas of arterivirus genome expression, RNA and protein functions, virion architecture, virus-host interactions, immunity, and pathogenesis. We have also briefly reviewed the impact of these advances on disease management, the engineering of novel candidate live vaccines and the diagnosis of arterivirus infection.
ANALYSIS OF RETENTION AND FLUX DECLINE DURING ULTRAFILTRATION OF LIMED SUGARCANE (CLARIFIED) JUICE (2001)

Abstract The flux decline behaviour of sugarcane juice solution during ultrafiltration (UF) process was studied both experimentally and theoretically. Rate of flux decline was analyzed under varying operating conditions such as pressure (550, 690, and 830kPa) and feed concentration (11, 14, 17, 20 brix). A solution of the clarified limed sugarcane juice containing low molecular weight (LMW)solutes, mainty sucrose, and high molecular weight solutes (HMW) like proteins, fats and wax, etc., was subjected to UF in a stirred cell employing a cellulosic membrane (Spectra Por). Under typical experimental conditions, solution flux was found to reach a steady state value in about three hours. High molecular weight solutes (e.g., proteins)retained by the membrane formed a gel like porous layer on top of the membrane surface. Relatively lighter molecular weight solutes (e.g., sucrose)were mostly permeable, though also partly retained within the gel layer. A mathematical model was developed to describe the flux decline behaviour during UF of sugarcane juice. The model analysis takes into account the formation of polarized concentration boundary layers of both types of solutes, permeable as well as non-permeable. Decline in the flux of sugarcane juice was attributed to the combined effects of gel layer formation as per the cake filtration theory and the development of osmotic pressure of sucrose in boundary layer; although contribution of osmotic pressure exerted by sucrose in flux decline was found to exist only during initial stage of filtration. The model predictions were found to agree well with the experimental data.
Chemical analysis of DC745 Materials: DEV Lot 1 reinvestigation; barcodes P053387, P053388, and P053389 (2017)

This report serves as a follow up to our initial development lot 1 chemical analysis report (LA-UR-16-21970). The purpose of that report was to determine whether or not certain combinations of resin lots and curing agent lots resulted in chemical differences in the final material. One finding of that report suggested that pad P053389 was different from the three other pads analyzed. This report consists of chemical analysis of P053387, P053388, and a reinvestigation of P053389 all of which came from the potentially suspect combination of resin and curing agents lot. The goal of this report is to determine whether the observations relating to P053389 were isolated to that particular pad or systemic to that combination of resin and curing agent lot. The following suite of analyses were performed on the pads: Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The overall conclusions of the study are that pads P053387 and P053388 behave more consistently with the pads of other resin lot and curing agent lot combinations and that the chemical observations made regarding pad P053389 are isolated to that pad and not representative of an issue with that resin lot and curing agent lot combination.
Expression of paths and buildings for universal designed interactive map with due consideration for visually impaired people (2008)

Our research purpose is to develop the universal designed interactive map which provides spatial information not only for ordinary people but also for visually impaired people with combination of touch, audio and vision. This paper describes our concept for universal designed map and map expression of paths and buildings. We reports two experimental examinations of graphic symbol recognition by two low vision examinees to developing a proof-of-concept design of the map expression of the shape of paths and buildings, and propose the One Octave Scale Interface as a example of the expression of universal designed interactive map. This paper also reports an experiment with blind people to read maps with our proposed interface and tried to reach goal points holding guided course.
Corrosion Pitting of SiC by Molten Salts (1986)

The corrosion of by thin films of and at 1000°C is characterized by a severe pitting attack of the substrate. A range of different Si and substrates was examined to isolate the factors critical to pitting. Two types of pitting attack are identified: attack at structural discontinuities and a crater‐like attack. The crater‐like pits are correlated with bubble formation during oxidation of the . It appears that bubbles create unprotected regions, which are susceptible to enhanced attack and, hence, pit formation.

The school is furnished with centralized Web support, and this is coordinated so that the courses have the same format and apply common basic rules for exams and credits.
Efficient Agrobacterium-based transient expression system for the production of biopharmaceuticals in plants (2010)

We have recently described an efficient transient expression system mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens for the production of HIV-1 Nef protein in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. In order to enhance the yield of recombinant protein we assayed the effect of three gene-silencing viral suppressor proteins (P25 of Potato Virus X, P19 of Artichoke Mottled Crinckle virus and Tomato Bushy Stunt virus) on Nef expression levels. Results demonstrated that AMCV-P19 gave the highest Nef yield (1.3% of total soluble protein) and that this effect was correlated to a remarkable decrease of Nef-specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) indicating an effective modulation of RNA silencing mechanisms. Here we report additional data on the production of different heterologous proteins including human immunoglobulin heavy and light chains and a virus coat protein that demonstrate the robustness of this co-agroinfiltration expression system boosted by the AMCV-P19 gene-silencing suppressor.

Coning effects examined for oil-rim horizontal wells (1995)

Horizontal wells operating under critical gas-free rates permit the development of gas and oil reserves more efficiently. These wells drain a larger area with fewer wells. Each well will have a greater cumulative oil production than a vertical well, but ultimate oil recovery from the reservoir can be less. Gas and water coning hinder effective oil production. In offshore fields, the number of the operating wells greatly influences net income. It is important to know how much oil each well can recover. In other worlds, what should be the horizontal well pattern with critical gas-free oil production rates? To determine this, the authors first consider the influence of the distance between horizontal well rows on the cumulative oil production and ultimate oil recovery. The paper discusses the initial oil rate, the distance between wells, well patterns, and critical gas-free rates, using data from the Troll gas and oil field in the North Sea.

A Phase I Dose Escalation Study of Biweekly Gemcitabine and Carboplatin in Completely Resected Stage IB-IIIA Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer (2007)

Maximum tolerated dose was not reached in this study. Considering treatment continuation, the recommended dose for a phase II study is gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 15 and carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1, every 4 weeks. Biweekly administration of gemcitabine and carboplatin is a feasible and well-tolerated regimen for the treatment of patients with completely resected NSCLC as adjuvant chemotherapy.
