Fingerprint authentication using QCA technology (2017)

Among different nanotechnological developments, quantum dot cellular automaton is an up-and-coming realm. A nanoscale logical circuit can be obtained easily through QCA device. Fingerprint can be categorized as a unique feature to identify a person. Fingerprint recognition can be done by biometrics, thus biometric can be said as an integral part of user authentication. Irreversible technology experiences some difficulties like higher dissipated heat. Thus reversible logic is essential where dissipation of heat will be almost negligible. A reversible circuit for fingerprint authenticator using Feynman gate has been proposed in this paper and implemented with QCA. Both the theoretical values and the simulation results are matched which justifies the authenticity of the proposed circuits design.
A class of binary burst error-correcting quasi-cyclic codes (1988)

A class of binary quasi-cyclic burst error-correcting codes based upon product codes is studied. An expression for the maximum burst error-correcting capability for each code in the class is given. In certain cases, the codes exist in the class which have the same block length and number of check bits as the Gilbert codes, but correct longer bursts of errors than Gilbert codes. By shortening the codes, it is possible to design codes which achieve the Reiger bound.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Gold nanoparticle/ZnO nanorod hybrids for enhanced reactive oxygen species generation and photodynamic therapy (2015)

Gold nanoparticle (Au NP)@ZnO nanorod (NR) (Au@ZnO) hybrids with various ZnO:Au molar ratios were developed to enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. Introducing a metal/semiconductor heterostructure interface between Au NPs and ZnO NRs modulated electron transfer under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, which dramatically suppressed the electron-hole recombination in ZnO and simultaneously increased the amount of excited electrons with high energy at Au NP surfaces. Hence, the ROS yield of the nanohybrid was considerably improved over those of pristine Au NPs or ZnO NRs alone and demonstrated a “1 + 1 > 2 effect.” This enhancement was strengthened with increases in the proportion of Au in the hybrid. The results showed that the Au@ZnO nanohybrids with a ZnO:Au ratio of 20:1 generated the highest ROS yield because they had the largest interface area between Au and ZnO, which in turn led to the lowest cell viability for HeLa and C2C12 cells during PDT. Furthermore, both ROS generation and cell destruction were positively correlated with nanohybrid dosage. The Au@ZnO hybrid (20:1, 100 μg/mL) resulted in HeLa cell viability as low as 28% after UV exposure for 2 min, which indicated its promising potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of PDT.
Studies and observations on the growth of mammalian cells in agitated fluid medium (1960)

Abstract Fourteen mammalian cell strains were studied in the ‘stirrer culture’. Fair to excellent growth was obtained with twelve of these strains while two strains failed to show evidence of proliferation. Growth curves, maximal population densities, and recovery following subculture of various cell strains, cultivated in this system, were described. Factors effecting the growth of cells under these conditions were outlined. Growth of cells in methods other than the ‘stirrer culture’ were reported. The practical importance of fluid suspension culture of mammalian cells, the potentialities and the problems involved in scaling such cultures to industrial size were discussed.
An unsupervised approach to automatic classification of scientific literature utilizing bibliographic metadata (2011)

This article describes an unsupervised approach for automatic classification of scientific literature archived in digital libraries and repositories according to a standard library classification scheme. The method is based on identifying all the references cited in the document to be classified and, using the subject classification metadata of extracted references as catalogued in existing conventional libraries, inferring the most probable class for the document itself with the help of a weighting mechanism. We have demonstrated the application of the proposed method and assessed its performance by developing a prototype software system for automatic classification of scientific documents according to the Dewey Decimal Classification scheme. A dataset of 1000 research articles, papers, and reports from a well-known scientific digital library, CiteSeer, were used to evaluate the classification performance of the system. Detailed results of this experiment are presented and discussed.
Serum Lp(a) lipoprotein concentrations in insulin dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. (1991)

Serum concentrations of Lp(a) lipoprotein are twice as high in insulin dependent diabetic patients with microalbuminuria as in those without microalbuminuria. Increased concentrations of Lp(a) lipoprotein might partly explain the increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease observed among patients with diabetic nephropathy.
FastForward for Efficient Pipeline Parallelism (2007)

High-rate core-to-core communication is critical for efficient pipeline-parallel software architectures. This paper introduces FastForward, a software-only low-overhead high-rate queue algorithm for pipeline parallelism on multicore architectures. FastForward uses an architecturally- tuned domain-specific adaptation of concurrent lock-free queues to provide low-latency and low-overhead core-to- core communication. Enqueue and dequeue times on a 2 GHz Opteron 270 based system are as low as 36 ns, up to 4x faster than Lamport's solution.
Spontaneous Cures in Rats reared upon a Diet devoid of Vitamin B and Antineurtic vitamin (1927)

The Preceding paper by Fridericia and his co-workers on “A Transmissible Change in the Instestinal Content, enabling Rats to Grow and Thrive without vitamin B in the Food” deals with results so novel and unexpected that a brief statement from another laboratory confirming them, is not redundant.
Analysis Assessment on Methods of Calculating Compression Factor of High-Sulfur Natural Gas (2010)

Compression factor is a very important physical parameter in the process of natural gas development and transmission.The change of some other parameters are related with compression factor.But the critical parameters deviate greately due to the existence of H2S for high-sulfur natural gas.The common methods of calculating compression factor most ly aim at conventional gas,so there will be greate error if use these methods to calculate the compression factor of high-sulfur natural gas.In the range of 1.05≤Tr≤2,0≤Pr≤13,use RK、SRK、PR、BWRS equations of state to calculate the compression factor of high-sulfur natural gas whose hydrogen sulfide content is less than 12%.Compare the calculated compression factor with the standard compression factor chart and get the scopes of application of these four equations.

Legal knowledge acquisition using case-based reasoning and model inference (1993)

Although Case-Based Reasoning comes out in order to solve knowledge acquisition bottleneck, a case structure acquisition bottleneck has emerged, superseding it. Because we cannot decide an appropriate case structure in advance, a framework for CBR should be able to improve a case structure dynamically, collecting and analyzing cases. Here is discussed a new framework for knowledge acquisition using CBR and model inference. Model Inference tries to obtain new descriptors(predicates) with interaction of a domain expert, regarding the predicate as the slots that compose a case structure, with an eye to the function of theoretical term generation. The framework has two features: (1) CBR obtains a more suitable group of slots (a case structure) incrementally through cooperation with model inference, and (2) model inference with theoretical term capability discovers the rules which deal with a given task better. Furthermore, we evaluate the feasibility of the framework by implementing it to deal with law interpretation and certify two features with the framework.
Chaotic attractors in a 4-D oscillator based on 2-port VCCSs (2003)

This paper presents a simple 4-D chaotic oscillator using linear and hysteresis 2-port VCCSs. The oscillator has double-screw attractors, quad-screw attractors, and coexistence states of them. The circuit dynamics is described by a Jordan form equation that is convenient to derive parameters conditions for existence of the attractors. Using a simple test circuits, typical phenomena can be verified in the laboratory.
Daily Remote Peritoneal Dialysis Monitoring: An Adjunct to Enhance Patient Care (2008)

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the preferred dialysis modality in children, but it relies on the patient or caregiver to perform dialysis daily at home. We describe the utilization of a modem transmission system in 2 pediatric PD patients to improve communication with the dialysis team, monitor compliance via frequent remote data collection, and decrease dialysis-related complications. A home dialysis modem was provided for each patient and connected to the home telephone line by the dialysis nurse. PD treatment data were transmitted daily to the dialysis unit, records entered into the patient's electronic medical record, and reviewed by the patient's PD nurse and/or pediatric nephrologist and adjustments made accordingly. This resulted in improved medical outcomes specifically related to fluid balance and cardiovascular health, ultimately facilitating renal transplantation in each case. In summary, the use of the ProCard (Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, Illinois, USA) has improved the ability to monitor home PD patients effectively. However, the additional use of the modem to transmit data on a more frequent basis can further enhance the care of chronic continuous cycling PD patients and should be considered in more challenging medical situations.
K+-Channel Opening as a Mechanism for Relaxing Airways Smooth Muscle (1988)

The properties and physiological roles of K+-channels in the plasmalemma of airways smooth muscle are currently being clarified by the use of techniques such as patch-clamp recording. K+-channel activity plays an important role in determining both the resting membrane potential and the electrical excitability of the airways smooth muscle cell. Established bronchodilators such as agonists at beta-adrenoceptors and methylxanthines may provide K+-channel opening but this is not crucial for their relaxant action. The actions of other smooth muscle relaxants such as BRL 34915 and pinacidil (Fig.) may more closely depend on their ability to open K+-channels and such agents are currently being examined to determine whether they protect against bronchoconstrictor challenge in vivo or have beneficial effects in asthma.

Photophysical properties of <font>Zn</font>(<font>II</font>) phthalocyaninates incorporated into liposomes (2002)

Amphiphilic phthalocyanines are used as potential photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy. The low water solubility of most of these dyes is the reason that different kinds of vehicles are employed as endogenous carriers. Due to the photophysical inactivity of the phthalocyanine aggregates, it is important to improve their solubility in order to study dyes in solid tumor models. On the other hand, the photodynamic therapy activity depends on the location of phthalocyanines in the cell and the interaction of cellular components. In this work, the photophysical properties of tetrasubstituted Zn ( II ) phthalocyanines with different lipophilic properties are incorporated into liposomes of L-α-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). The fluorescence quantum yields, the association constants and their localization in the membranes are reported.
Increased Expression of Hsp40 Chaperones, Transcriptional Factors, and Ribosomal Protein Rpp0 Can Cure Yeast Prions (2002)

The Sup35 (eRF3) translation termination factor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can undergo a prion-like conformational conversion, thus resulting in the [PSI(+)] nonsense-suppressor determinant. In vivo this process depends critically on the chaperone Hsp104, whose lack or overexpression can cure [PSI(+)]. The use of artificial prion [PSI(+)PS] based on a hybrid Sup35PS with prion domain from the yeast Pichia methanolica allowed us to uncover three more chaperones, Ssb1, Ssa1, and Ydj1, whose overexpression can cure prion determinants. Here, we used the [PSI(+)PS] to search a multicopy yeast genomic library for novel factors able to cure prions. It was found that overexpression of the Hsp40 family chaperones Sis1 and Ynl077w, chaperone Sti1, transcriptional factors Sfl1 and Ssn8, and acidic ribosomal protein Rpp0 can interfere with propagation and manifestation of [PSI(+)PS] in a prion strain-specific manner. Some of these factors also affected the manifestation and propagation of conventional [PSI(+)]. Excess of Sfl1, Ssn8, and Rpp0 influenced at least one of the tested chaperone-specific promoters, SSA4, HSP104, and model promoters, with either the heat shock or stress response elements. Thus, the induction of chaperone expression by these proteins could explain their prion-curing effects.
Cubic Perovskite Structure of Black Formamidinium Lead Iodide, α-[HC(NH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]PbI<sub>3</sub>, at 298 K (2015)

[Image: see text] The structure of black formamidinium lead halide, α-[HC(NH(2))(2)]PbI(3), at 298 K has been refined from high resolution neutron powder diffraction data and found to adopt a cubic perovskite unit cell, a = 6.3620(8) Å. The trigonal planar [HC(NH(2))(2)](+) cations lie in the central mirror plane of the unit cell with the formamidinium cations disordered over 12 possible sites arranged so that the C–H bond is directed into a cube face, whereas the −NH(2) groups hydrogen bond (NH···I = 2.75–3.00 Å) with the iodide atoms of the [PbI(3)](−) framework. High atomic displacement parameters for the formamidinium cation are consistent with rapid molecular rotations at room temperature as evidenced in ab initio molecular dynamic simulations.
Communication performance in multiple-bus systems (1988)

A simple queueing model is presented for studying the effect of multiple-bus interconnection networks on the performance of asynchronous multiprocessor systems. The proposed model is suitable for systems in which each processor has a local memory and is thus able to continue processing while waiting for a response from the global memory. An approximate, closed-form solution is given that is simple and easy to use for any number of processors, buses, or memory modules and for arbitrary memory block size. The model is used to study the access time of the global memory as a function of the number of buses for different local-memory/global-memory traffic rates.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Development of JIS Standards B8265: Harmonizing Japanese Pressure Vessel Regulations (2003)

In recent years in Japan, the concepts of the regulation system and technical standards have been changed a lot with following major items: 1) Changing concept of regulation from specification basis to performance basis. 2) Although specification base regulation had prescribed detailed construction, design method, applicable material and methods of inspection and testing, the performance base regulation only requires total function on reservation of safety and security. If required performance is proved on pressure equipment during manufacturing and/or operation, it will accept to use fundamentally. Performance base regulation will allow applying new technology timely but it is rather difficult in specification basis.
The immune suppressive function of transforming growth factor-<b>β</b>(TGF-<b>β</b>) in human diseases (2015)

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) functions as an immune suppressor by influencing immune cells' development, differentiation, tolerance induction and homeostasis. In human diseases, TGF-β has been revealed as an essential regulator of both innate and adaptive functions in autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in cancer by inhibiting immunosurveillance in the tumor-bearing host. A variety of TGF-β neutralizing anti-cancer therapies have been investigated based on the role of TGF-β in immunosuppression. New studies are focusing on combining TGF-β blockade with tumor vaccinations and immunogene therapies.
A comprehensive experimental investigation of tubular entry flow of viscoelastic fluids: Part I. Vortex characteristics in stable flow (1978)

Abstract The characteristics of a vortex found at the entry of a 2:1 and 4:1 contraction for viscoelastic fluids is investigated. Two distinct flow regimes are identified in the contraction flow field: a vortex growth regime and a divergent flow regime. In the vortex flow regime, rheological forces are found to dominate the flow, with the vortex detachment length being a linear function of the Weissenberg number. In the divergent flow regime, the flow is found to diverge at the center line upstream of the vortex detachment plane, and the vortex size decreases with increasing flow rates. Inertial forces are important in the divergent flow regime. The entry flow characteristics for the 2:1 and 4:1 contraction are quantified in terms of the vortex detachment length as a function of Reynolds and Weissenberg number over the range of 0:2 < N ′ Re < 200 and 0.10 < N WS < 0.7.
A miniature effusion cell for the vacuum deposition of organic solids with low vapor pressures in surface science studies (2008)

A miniature effusion cell for the vacuum deposition of volatile organic solids with low vapor pressures has been fabricated and used in surface science studies. The effusion cell is designed to operate at up to 200 degrees C under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The size of this cell is so small that it is attached to the top of a transfer rod and can be introduced from a subchamber into a main UHV chamber (retrievable). In addition, the small heat capacity of this cell means rapid heating and cooling rates. The advantages of this evaporator are its simplicity of design and ease of fabrication, assembly, and operation.
[Monitoring of extra- and intra-cellular compartment through total body impedance (author's transl)]. (1979)

To evaluate the extra-cellular space, we measure the impedance (or resistance) of the extra-cellular electrolyte compartment with an alternating current at a fixed frequency of 5 kHz that can't pass through the cellular membrane. Total water is measured by the impedance to a current of 1 MHz which is conducted by extra and intra cellular hydro-electrolytic space. There is a good correlation between electrical impedance measurements and distribution of isotopic markers. The extra-cellular compartment was evaluated by diffusion of D.T.P.A. marked with 99mTc or with 111In and the total water by the diffusion of Antipyrin marked with 1,311 or 1,231. The findings indicate that there is not a significant difference between the results of the size of extra-cellular water measured by electrical impedance and D.T.P.A. diffusion (r = 0.75). Comparable results have been obtained in the determination of total water by electrical impedance measure and diffusion of Antipyrin (r = 0.90). We have also studied by method of electric impedance:--The state of hydratation in head injured patients and after pituitary surgery.--The lean body mass and hydro-electrolyte compartments in pregnancy. Electrical impedance measure seems to be a simple and reliable method to assess the hydric state of patients.
Effects of Wood Preheat Treatment on Thermal Stability of HDPE Composites (2009)

In this study, wood treated at different temperatures (175, 190, and 205°C) was used to ease the thermal instability caused by the introduction of wood to the composites. Composites consisting of different amounts of wood and coupling agent and HDPE were produced by the injection molding method. The mass loss measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used as a tool to evaluate thermal stability of the materials. The results of this study show that heat treatment of wood increased DTG max degradation temperatures and ash contents of wood especially when treatments took place at 190 and 205°C. An increase in wood content from 25 to 50% made the composites more sensitive to high temperatures. In comparison with untreated wood/HDPE composites, adding heat treated wood to the composites increased the thermal stability and ash contents of the composites. Coupling agent enhanced thermal stability of the composites when untreated wood was used as filler. The role of coupling agent on thermal stability was imperceptible when heat treated wood was used as filler.
Coplanar circulator made from composite magnetic material (2011)

This paper deals with the operation of a Y-junction coplanar circulator. It operates at high frequencies (>;40 GHz). Barium hexaferrite particles within a host matrix form the integrated magnetic material in this device. The structure of this 3-port microwave device and its different characteristics are presented. A three dimensional finite element method was used to calculate the S-parameters and to evaluate numerically the performance of the circulator. These parameters were measured using a vector network analyzer after the fabrication process showing the performance of the device.
Fast polygonal integration and its application in extending haar-like features to improve object detection (2010)

The integral image is typically used for fast integrating a function over a rectangular region in an image. We propose a method that extends the integral image to do fast integration over the interior of any polygon that is not necessarily rectilinear. The integration time of the method is fast, independent of the image resolution, and only linear to the polygon's number of vertices. We apply the method to Viola and Jones' object detection framework, in which we propose to improve classical Haar-like features with polygonal Haar-like features. We show that the extended feature set improves object detection's performance. The experiments are conducted in three domains: frontal face detection, fixed-pose hand detection, and rock detection for Mars' surface terrain assessment.
One-mode quantum Gaussian channels: Structure and quantum capacity (2007)

A complete classification of one-mode Gaussian channels is given up to canonical unitary equivalence. We also comment on the quantum capacity of these channels. A channel complementary to the quantum channel with additive classical Gaussian noise is described, providing an example of a one-mode Gaussian channel which is neither degradable nor antidegradable.
