Cornsilk Fly (suggested common name), Euxesta stigmatias Loew (Insecta: Diptera: Otitidae) (2019)

The 'cornsilk fly,' Euxesta stigmatias Loew, is an attractive, dark metallic green fly with distinctive wing patterns and wing flapping behavior commonly found throughout southern Florida agricultural communities. Its normally saprophytic life style belies its destructive nature when it comes to its preference for sweet corn ears. Entire fields may have to be passed up for harvest if they went untreated for this destructive pest or if individual treatments were missed due to weather, time or other constraints.

Practical multi-factor biometric remote authentication (2010)

In this paper, we evaluate the security properties of multi-factor biometric authentication (MFBA) and define the notion of User Privacy, where the biometrics is assumed as a set of features that can be either ordered or unordered depending on the biométrie modality. We propose efficient schemes for MFBA, which do not incorporate secure sketches, thus, different template extraction methods are applicable. We formally describe the security model for MFBA, where the computations are performed in the encrypted domain but without requiring a decryption key for the authentication decision. Thus, leakage of the secret key of any system component does not affect the security of the scheme as opposed to the current biométrie systems involving cryptographic techniques.
International study of the place of death of people with cancer: a population-level comparison of 14 countries across 4 continents using death certificate data (2015)

A large country variation in the place of death can partly be explained by countries' healthcare resources. Country-specific choices regarding the organisation of end-of-life cancer care likely explain an additional part. These findings indicate the further challenge to evaluate how different specific policies can influence place of death patterns.
Practical RFID ownership transfer scheme (2011)

When an RFID tag changes hand, it is not as simply as handing over the tag secret to the new owner. Privacy is a concern if there is no secure ownership transfer scheme to aid the transfer. After sales service and temporary tag delegation are also features commonly seen in such applications. In thi s paper, we proposed a new RFID ownership transfer scheme that achieves the most security protections and properties in comparison to most of the previous schemes. We also introduced four new security properties that have not been considered before. This opens up new research directions for further development of RFID ownership transfer.
MOS characteristics and a modified linear MOS resistor (2009)

This paper presents an overview of MOS device characteristics and its use as voltage controlled resistors. A modified gate driving mechanism is proposed to enhance the MOS resistor properties. Generally, MOS resistors behave linearly only for a small value of Drain-to-Source voltage (V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DS</inf> ). With the new scheme, the non-linearity that arises out of its dependence on V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DS</inf> is removed and the linearity property of the resistor is kept intact even for larger values of V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DS</inf> .
Interferon-gamma enhances growth factor-dependent proliferation of clonogenic cells in acute myeloblastic leukemia (1991)

Abstract Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) has been reported to antagonize the stimulatory effect of various conditioned media on the growth of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells and clonogenic blasts from patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). In the present study, using purified recombinant cytokines and homogenous cell populations, we provide evidence for a synergistic or additive effect of IFN-gamma with recombinant human (rhu) hematopoietic growth factors in the stimulation of clonogenic blasts from most AML patients examined. Under conditions of limiting cell concentration, rhuIFN-gamma alone showed little effect on blast proliferation, whereas in conjunction with recombinant human interleukin-3 (rhuIL-3), IFN- gamma significantly enhanced colony formation in 13 of 15 AML cases. Maximal stimulation was obtained at low concentrations of IFN-gamma (2 to 20 pmol/L) in four cases and at higher concentrations (700 to 7,000 pmol/L) in the remainder. IFN-gamma also synergized with recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhuGM-CSF) in 9 of 13 cases. Within 1 hour of exposure, IFN-gamma induced a twofold to fourfold accumulation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha)- specific transcripts in AML blasts and several AML cell lines that include HL-60 and OCI-AML 1. Further, the synergy between IFN-gamma and IL-3 on AML blasts was partially or completely abrogated by a TNF alpha neutralizing antibody, suggesting that growth enhancement by IFN-gamma may be mediated through TNF alpha production in AML blast culture. Exposure of normal precursors (burst-forming unit-erythroid [BFU-E] and colony-forming unit granulocyte-macrophage [CFU-GM]) to IFN-gamma also resulted in significant growth enhancement, suggesting that the proliferative response elicited by IFN-gamma was not limited to AML blasts. Finally, in M07-E, an IL-3-dependent human “megakaryoblastic” cell line, IFN-gamma also significantly enhanced IL-3-supported colony formation, much in the same way as in primary AML blasts. In contrast, IFN-gamma inhibited growth of all CSF-independent leukemic cell lines tested. This inhibition was partially alleviated by anti-TNF alpha antibody. In summary, our data indicate that IFN-gamma can enhance or antagonize cell proliferation, depending on the cell type. Further, TNF alpha appears to mediate the biologic effect of IFN-gamma either in growth stimulation or growth inhibition.
Mathematical Modeling Of Machining Parameters In Electrical Discharge Machining Of Fw4 Welded Steel (2009)

FW4 is a newly developed hot die material widely used in Forging Dies manufacturing. The right selection of the machining conditions is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration in the Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) of FW4. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop mathematical models for relating the Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Ratio (TWR) and surface roughness (Ra) to machining parameters (current, pulse-on time and voltage). Furthermore, a study was carried out to analyze the effects of machining parameters in respect of listed technological characteristics. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicate that the proposed mathematical models, can adequately describe the performance within the limits of the factors being studied.
Present Status of Silver Recovery in Motion-Picture Laboratories: A Tutorial Paper (1965)

A tutorial review of silver-recovery methods includes the chemical methods of precipitation, metallic replacement and ion exchange as well as the electrolytic methods employing either low or high current density levels. Various methods of solution agitation in electrolytic cells are described and illustrated with existing units. A survey of present-day silver recovery systems in five commercial motion-picture laboratories indicates that silver recovery should be considered an important element in the proper economic management of any processing laboratory.
Analysis of three phase cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter for symmetrical &amp; asymmetrical configuration (2014)

The previous studies have shown the drawbacks of conventional inverters, specially for high power application. From the beginning of 21st century, drastic improvement in the harmonic profile and increased power rating of MLI made them highly popular for high power application. MLI's are widely utilized in industrial field employing motor drives, static VAR compensators and renewable energy systems, etc. Basically output voltage of a MLI has multiple levels as compare to conventional inverters. This increment in output voltage levels greatly affect the harmonic distortion due to which the output voltage is negligibly distorted and high quality of output waveform is obtained. Because of this features the MLI are highly preferred for high voltage and high power application. Up till now many topologies for MLI have been reported. Moreover, three major MLI structures are there, Cascaded H-bridge having isolated dc source, diode clamped and flying capacitor. Though there are various types of MLI are available, CHB MLI is one of the most productive topology among multilevel family. The CHB MLI is further divided in two configuration viz., symmetrical and asymmetrical CHB MLI. It depends on cascade connection of number of H-bridge inverter cells energies by the supplies which are in geometric progression (GP) with different ratios like 2,3 etc. This paper presents cascaded MLI approach for high voltage and high power output application, in which symmetrical and asymmetrical arrangements of seven level and nine level CHB MLI are investigated for structural and operational characteristics. Simulations are carried out in Matlab Simulink to analyzed the performance of Asymmetrical CHB MLI using SPWM technique. Simulation result for this proposed scheme are shown in this paper.
Evaluating the dynamic behaviour of Python applications (2009)

The Python programming language is typical among dynamic languages in that programs written in it are not susceptible to static analysis. This makes efficient static program compilation difficult, as well as limiting the amount of early error detection that can be performed. Prior research in this area tends to make assumptions about the nature of programs written in Python, restricting the expressiveness of the language. One may question why programmers are drawn to these languages at all, if only to use them in a static-friendly style. In this paper we present our results after measuring the dynamic behaviour of 24 production-stage open source Python programs. The programs tested included arcade games, GUI applications and non-interactive batch programs. We found that while most dynamic activity occurs during program startup, dynamic activity after startup cannot be discounted entirely.

Altered Corneal Nerves in Aqueous Tear Deficiency Viewed by In Vivo Confocal Microscopy (2005)

Abnormal morphologic changes are observed in aqueous tear deficiency that are more severe in Sjögren syndrome. The distinct changes of corneal nerves include increased nerve number, tortuosity, and chances of branching, suggesting an attempted nerve regeneration. A strong correlation exists between the changes of nerve morphology and the degree of dry eye. These results provide some possible evidence for the abnormal corneal sensation in dry eye.
Towards secure and scalable tag search approaches for current and next generation RFID systems (2010)

The technology behind Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been around for a while, but dropping tag prices and standardization efforts are finally facilitating the expansion of RFID systems. The massive adoption of this technology is taking us closer to the well known ubiquitous computing scenarios. However, the widespread deployment of RFID technology also gives rise to significant user security issues. One possible solution to these challenges is the use of secure authentication protocols to protect RFID communications. A natural extension of RFID authentication is RFID tag searching, where a reader needs to search for a particular RFID tag out of a large collection of tags. As the number of tags of the system increases, the ability to search for the tags is invaluable when the reader requires data from a few tags rather than all the tags of the system. Authenticating each tag one at a time until the desired tag is found is a time consuming process. Surprisingly, RFID search has not been widely addressed in the literature despite the availability of search capabilities in typical RFID tags. In this thesis, we examine the challenges of extending security and scalability issues to RFID tag search and suggest several solutions. This thesis aims to design RFID tag search protocols that ensure security and scalability using lightweight cryptographic primitives. We identify the security and performance requirements for RFID systems. We also point out and explain the major attacks that are typically launched against an RFID system. This thesis makes four main contributions. First, we propose a serverless (without a central server) and untraceable search protocol that is secure against major attacks we identified earlier. The unique feature of this protocol is that it provides security protection and searching capacity same as an RFID system with a central server. In addition, this approach is no more vulnerable to a single point-of-failure. Second, we propose a scalable tag search protocol that provides most of the identified security and performance features. The highly scalable feature of this protocol allows it to be deployed in large scale RFID systems. Third, we propose a hexagonal cell based distributed architecture for efficient RFID tag searching in an emergency evacuation system. Finally, we introduce tag monitoring as a new dimension of tag searching and propose a Slotted Aloha based scalable tag monitoring protocol for next generation WISP (Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform) tags.
Mice That Express Enzymatically Inactive Cathepsin L Exhibit Abnormal Spermatogenesis1 (2003)

The finding of large, stage-specific changes in secretion of procathepsin L by rat Sertoli cells has led to the hypothesis that this proenzyme promotes the survival, replication, or differentiation of spermatogenic cells. Experiments described herein used a mouse model to test this hypothesis. To prove that mice are appropriate for this purpose, we first demonstrate that mature mouse Sertoli cells express cathepsin L mRNA in the same stage-specific manner as rat Sertoli cells and they also secrete procathepsin L. To test whether catalytically active cathepsin L is required for normal spermatogenesis, we examined the testes of 110- to 120-day-old furless mice, which express catalytically inactive cathepsin L. Morphologic examination of testes of furless mice revealed both normal and atrophic seminiferous tubules. Enumeration of atrophic tubules in furless and control mice demonstrates that lack of functional cathepsin L results in a 12-fold increase in seminiferous tubule atrophy. To determine whether lack of functional cathepsin L affects the production of male germ cells in apparently normal, nonatrophic tubules, we compared numbers in control and furless mice of preleptotene spermatocytes, pachytene spermatocytes, and round spermatids per Sertoli cell. Results demonstrate that the lack of functional cathepsin L causes a 16% reduction in formation of preleptotene spermatocytes and a 25% reduction in differentiation of these cells into pachytene spermatocyte. These results suggest that procathepsin L either directly or indirectly has two distinct functions in the testis. This proenzyme prevents atrophy of seminiferous tubules and promotes the formation of preleptotene spermatocytes and the differentiation of these meiotic cells into pachytene spermatocytes.

Implementation of the typed call-by-value λ-calculus using a stack of regions (1994)

We present a translation scheme for the polymorphically typed call-by-value λ-calculus. All runtime values, including function closures, are put into regions. The store consists of a stack of regions. Region inference and effect inference are used to infer where regions can be allocated and de-allocated. Recursive functions are handled using a limited form of polymorphic recursion. The translation is proved correct with respect to a store semantics, which models as a region-based run-time system. Experimental results suggest that regions tend to be small, that region allocation is frequent and that overall memory demands are usually modest, even without garbage collection.
Synthetic Biology Tools to Engineer Microbial Communities for Biotechnology (2018)

Microbial consortia have been used in biotechnology processes, including fermentation, waste treatment, and agriculture, for millennia. Today, synthetic biologists are increasingly engineering microbial consortia for diverse applications, including the bioproduction of medicines, biofuels, and biomaterials from inexpensive carbon sources. An improved understanding of natural microbial ecosystems, and the development of new tools to construct synthetic consortia and program their behaviors, will vastly expand the functions that can be performed by communities of interacting microorganisms. Here, we review recent advancements in synthetic biology tools and approaches to engineer synthetic microbial consortia, discuss ongoing and emerging efforts to apply consortia for various biotechnological applications, and suggest future applications.
Near-Field Electrospinning (2006)

A near-field electrospinning (NFES) process has been developed to deposit solid nanofibers in a direct, continuous, and controllable manner. A tungsten electrode with tip diameter of 25 microm is used to construct nanofibers of 50-500 nm line width on silicon-based collectors while the liquid polymer solution is supplied in a manner analogous to that of a dip pen. The minimum applied bias voltage is 600 V, and minimum electrode-to-collector distance is 500 microm to achieve position controllable deposition. Charged nanofibers can be orderly collected, making NFES a potential tool in direct write nanofabrication for a variety of materials.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Hydroxyapatite-Impregnated Bone Cement (2000)

Self-curing acrylic cements, consisting mainly of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), are widely used in dentistry and orthopedic surgery. One of the major side effects of the standard PMMA application is tissue necrosis at the bone-cement interface due to the rise of temperature during the polymerization reaction. This may also lead to aseptic loosening over time. Therefore, intense research is being carried out in the development of bone cements with new compositions. In this study, the aim was to develop new bone cement compositions that would have low setting temperature and high mechanical strength and be comparable with the commercially available ones. For this purpose, PMMA bone cements having various amounts of hydroxyapatite were prepared. In order to obtain a proper and homogeneous distribution of hydroxyapatite particles within the cement, very low-viscosity PMMA bone-cement compositions were developed. The addition of hydroxyapatite decreased the polymerization temperature (from 111 oC to 87 oC) and increased the compressive strength (from 110 MPa to 122 MPa) of the resultant cements. These new bone cements have setting temperatures and mechanical strengths comparable with commercially available cements and are believed to be more biocompatible since hydroxyapatite is a natural mineral present in the bone structure.
Inhibition of gluconeogenesis in cultured chicken embryo hepatocytes by Fusarium metabolites (1997)

Four Fusarium metabolites, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol, 2,5-anhydro-D-sorbitol, moniliformin, and fumonisin B1, were tested for their ability to inhibit gluconeogenesis and cell viability in a primary chicken embryo hepatocyte culture system. The hepatocyte system was established from fertilized chicken eggs that were incubated for 14 days. The hepatocytes produced and secreted glucose into the supernatant of a Krebs incubation solution amended with 3 mM of either lactate or fructose as a precursor for glucose formation. 2,5-Anhydro-D-mannitol and 2,5-anhydro-D-sorbitol inhibited gluconeogenesis in these cells from both lactate and fructose. The former anhydro sugar was more inhibitory when lactate was the precursor (50% inhibition, IC50, 6 mM) and the latter anhydro sugar more inhibitory when fructose was the precursor (IC50, 12 mM). Moniliformin was more inhibitory to glucose formation from lactate (IC50, 100 microM) than from fructose in these cells. The degrees of inhibition of gluconeogenesis by the two anhydro sugars and moniliformin were greater than their effect on cell viability. Fumonisin B1 as high as 1 mM neither inhibited gluconeogenesis, nor affected cell viability.
