Microbial cell surface display; its medical and environ- mental applications (2012)

Cell-surface display is the expression of peptides and proteins on the surface of living cells by fusing them to functional components of cells which are exposed to the environment of cells. This strategy can be carried out using different surface proteins of cells as anchoring motifs and different proteins from different sources as a passenger protein. It is a promising strategy for developing novel whole cell factories. Surface engineered cells have many potential uses ranging from medical to environmental applications. This review focuses on different strategy and applications of micro
Product bundling and a rule of thumb versus the Harville formulae: can each way bets with UK bookmakers generate abnormal returns (2000)

Bookmakers practise a type of product bundling. To bet a horse for a place a punter has to bet an equal amount for a win. The returns to the place component of the bet are determined by a rule of thumb. This paper examines whether the product bundling negates a betting strategy that endeavours to exploit any inefficiency in pricing of the place component of each way bets based on the Harville formulae. In order to implement the Harville formulae Shin probabilities are employed, which correct for the favourite longshot bias in starting price odds, as measures of win probabilities. The analysis suggests that small positive expected returns to each way bets appear to exist.
PSDM for improved imaging under seafloor channels - Browse Basin, Australia case study (2012)

SummaryIn thè Browse Basin, as in many areas of thè world, complex seafloor topography can cause problems with seismic imaging. This paper compares ways in which imaging can be improved under seafloor channels, using both time and depth domain processing.In the time domain, to improve on the standard PSTM we applied removable seafloor statics in order to reduce the push down effect under seafloor channels prior to migration. This allows for better event continuity in the seismic imaging below. However this approach does not fully tackle the problem, still giving sub-optimal imaging, leaving amplitude shadows, and structural distortion. Only depth domain processing with a migration algorithm that honours the paths of the seismic energy as well as a detailed velocity model can provide good imaging under these seafloor channels, and give confidence in the structural components of the exploration targets in this area. We therefore performed depth velocity model building followed by PSDM, and produced a much improved result..Key words:: PSDMchannelmodellingBrowseAustralia
The Long Journey in Perpendicular Magnetic Recording -From the Beginning to the Future (2007)

Perpendicular magnetic recording finally became commercialized as hard disk drives about 30 years after the authors began their research into perpendicular magnetic recording. In this paper, their past and present works are introduced for future development of perpendicular magnetic recording. Through this paper, the author offers a basic philosophy retained during the long journey of the research and development in perpendicular magnetic recording.
Metal complexes of 1,10-Phenanthroline derivatives. VIII. Complexs of 1,10-Phenanthroline-2-carbaldehyde imines (1974)

Iron(11), cobalt(11) and nickel(11) complexes [ML2] [BF4]2 of a series of related tridentate imine derivatives of 1,l0-phenanthroline-2-carbaldehyde [N-(l,l0-phenanthrolin-2-ylmethylene)alkyl-(or aryl)amines in which the alkyl or aryl group is methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, phenyl or benzyl] are described. From the electronic spectra of the nickel complexes an order of field strengths is established which correlates reasonably well with the bulkiness of the imine moiety. All the ligands except that where R = But effect spin-pairing in iron(11) at room temperature. When R = But the iron(11) complex is essentially high-spin at room temperature but is predominantly low-spin at 83 K. The magnetism of this substance is typical for that of iron(11) systems in which a gradual spin transition, 5T2 ←→ lAl occurs. In the complexes where R = Bu Bu8, Ph, a significant rise in the magnetic moment above room temperature is observed, indicating the presence of some metal atoms in the 5T2 state. Certain of the ligands of high field strength (R = Me, Et, Pr, Pr1) yield cobalt(11) complexes whose magnetism is indicative of a gradual quartet-doublet transition. The remaining cobalt(11) complexes are high spin.
Defining and Categorizing Consumer Resale Behavior in Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) E-Commerce (2007)

More consumers nowadays function as resellers by taking advantage of online transactions. This exploratory study investigates the phenomenon of consumer online resale behavior in consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-commerce in Taiwan and China. The authors define consumer resale as products that are resold or purchased mainly for self-use, not for resale. They conceptually define and categorize four consumer online resale types – (1) resale of extra purchase, (2) resale after temporary ownership, (3) unintentional resale, and (4) disposition. In conclusion, they draw three major implications. First, C2C e-commerce has changed consumer behavior by enabling consumers to resell in the secondary market. Second, consumer online resale is multi-faceted, with each type of consumer online resale being formed by different motivations and resulting in various impacts on consumer purchase and resale decisions, both online and off-line. Third, the concept of products, evaluation of product value, and consumer satisfaction with online resale may change when consumers act simultaneously in the roles of reseller and consumer. The authors present their findings in such a cultural context as to provide a framework for further research, and also provide propositions for discussion and further study.
Mechanical Analog Computer for Solving the Axial Equations of Motion during Bunching in Linear Electron Accelerators (1959)

A mechanical analog computer is described which is suitable for the exploratory study of linear accelerator designs in the bunching region, at least in problems of the kind encountered in electron accelerators, where bunching is accomplished in comparatively short intervals and with relatively few phase oscillations. Particle phase is observed directly from a resolver; and particle momentum, particle velocity, and accelerating wave phase velocity are observed simultaneously as linear magnitudes whose relative change during calculation provides useful intuitive guidance in the choice of accelerator parameters. Some calculations are reported which were made with a rough apparatus capable of ∼5% accuracy.
Helicobacter pylori: beyond peptic ulcer disease. (1997)

Beyond peptic ulcer disease, Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with intestinal-type gastric cancer and low-grade gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. It is also currently implicated as a possible cause of dyspepsia and extraintestinal disorders such as coronary artery disease, rosacea, chronic urticaria, and delayed growth in children. There are strong epidemiological data from large cohort studies linking H. pylori to gastric adenocarcinoma. Several cofactors, including early childhood acquisition of infection, strain-specific differences, genetic predisposition of the host, and the environment, appear to play a role in the progression of chronic gastritis to gastric cancer. H. pylori infection is seen in over 90% of MALT lymphomas, and about 70% of localized nonbulky tumors will undergo complete histological regression after eradication of the bacterium. Because follow-up data are limited to less than 2 years, those undergoing H. pylori eradication as primary therapy for MALT lymphoma require frequent histological surveillance for tumor recurrence. There are conflicting data from short-term studies regarding the effect of H. pylori eradication on dyspeptic symptoms. The decision to test or not for H. pylori in the dyspeptic patient may become easier when well-controlled studies with longer periods of follow-up become available. Because H. pylori induces a systemic inflammatory response, investigators are beginning to explore possible extraintestinal disease associations with the infection. The global prevalence of both peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer has led to studies focusing on noninvasive screening for H. pylori in high-risk populations and prevention of primary infection by means of vaccination.

Mechanism of Adherence of <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> to Smooth Surfaces I. Roles of Insoluble Dextran-Levan Synthetase Enzymes and Cell Wall Polysaccharide Antigen in Plaque Formation (1973)

The mechanism of adherence of Streptococcus mutans to smooth glass surfaces has been studied. The results with both viable and heat-killed cells showed that the process required (i) the synthesis of a water-insoluble dextran-levan polymer by cell-bound enzymes and (ii) the participation of a binding site on the surface of the S. mutans cell. Synthesis of the polymer from sucrose in the presence of the cells was required for adherence, and indicates that an "active" form of the polymer was required. Polymer synthesized by cell-free S. mutans enzymes when added to S. mutans cells did not produce adherence. Purified antibody globulin, specific for the a-d site in the polysaccharide S. mutans group a antigen, completely inhibited adherence. Antibody to the second antigen present in the polysaccharide molecule, the a antigen, did not inhibit adherence. The evidence indicates that adherence did not require an antigenic binding site which might be common to all S. mutans strains. The orientation of the synthetase enzyme(s), antigenic binding site, and dextran-levan polymer on the cell surface is under study.
Simultaneous and rapid isolation of bacterial and eukaryotic DNA and RNA: a new approach for isolating DNA. (1991)

A very simple procedure for the simultaneous preparation of genomic DNA and total RNA is described. The procedure is essentially the same for eukaryotes and prokaryotes except for the lysis buffer and can be used for small or large numbers of cells. Mammalian cells are lysed in sodium dodecyl sulfate and bacterial cells are lysed in Triton X-100, both in the presence of EDTA. RNA is obtained in the aqueous phase after phenol (acidic pH):chloroform:isoamyl alcohol extraction. DNA is eluted out of the organic phase (and the interface) into the aqueous phase by increasing the pH with highly basic 1 M Tris solution. The method is extremely rapid for small or large numbers of cells, and several large samples can be processed in one day. The qualities of both nucleic acids are excellent and the yield is high.
[Plasma renin activity in essential hypertension: different short- und long-term effects of diuretics (author's transl)]. (1976)

In an acute clinical trial 12 patients with essential hypertension on a standardized sodium and potassium dietary intake were given either amilorid (10 mg daily, orally) or potassium canrenoate (200 mg daily, i.v.) for two days. Either treatment caused a significant decrease in blood pressure and an increase in plasma renin activity (PRA). The aldosterone excretion rate was elevated only in the patients receiving amilorid. Furthermore potassium retention and sodium loss were more pronounced in the amilorid group. Long-term treatment (up to 14 weeks) with amilorid (10 mg daily), spironolactone (200 mg daily) or chlortalidone (50 mg daily) significantly lowered the blood pressure of patients with essential hypertension. Plasma potassium and PRA rose significantly in patients receiving either amilorid or spironolactone. However, after three weeks of therapy the mean PRA returned to the pretreatment level in patients on amilorid while it remained persistently elevated in the spironolactone group. On the other hand, chlortalidone caused potassium loss and persistent elevation of PRA. A possible relationship between the changes in plasma potassium levels and PRA in response to diuretics is discussed.
Adaptive fixed-length differential chain codingfor transmission of line graphics (1995)

An adaptive fixed-length differential chain coding (FL-DCC) scheme is introduced for transmission of line graphics. Compared to differential chain coding (DCC), which uses vectors with different lengths, FL-DCC has a lower coding rate and a more uniform data syntax while maintaining a comparable subjective graphical quality.
Exacerbation of pathology by oxidative stress in respiratory and locomotor muscles with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (2011)

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most devastating type of muscular dystrophy, leading to progressive weakness of respiratory (e.g. diaphragm) and locomotor muscles (e.g. gastrocnemius). DMD is caused by X-linked defects in the gene that encodes for dystrophin, a key scaffolding protein of the dystroglycan complex (DCG) within the sarcolemmal cytoskeleton. As a result of a compromised dystroglycan complex, mechanical integrity is impaired and important signalling proteins (e.g. nNOS, caveolin-3) and pathways are disrupted. Disruption of the dystroglycan complex leads to high susceptibility to injury with repeated, eccentric contractions as well as inflammation, resulting in significant damage and necrosis. Chronic damage and repair cycling leads to fibrosis and weakness. While the link between inflammation with damage and weakness in the DMD diaphragm is unresolved, elevated oxidative stress may contribute to damage, weakness and possibly fibrosis. While utilization of non-specific antioxidant interventions has yielded inconsistent results, recent data suggest that NAD(P)H oxidase could play a pivotal role in elevating oxidative stress via integrated changes in caveolin-3 and stretch-activated channels (SACs). Oxidative stress may act as an amplifier, exacerbating disruption of the dystroglycan complex, upregulation of the inflammatory transcription factor NF-B, and thus functional impairment of force-generating capacity.
Multi resolution analysis for mass classification in digital mammogram using stochastic neighbor embedding (2013)

An efficient mass classification system for breast cancer in digital mammogram based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (SNE) technique is presented in this paper. The mass classification in digital mammogram is achieved by decomposing the mammogram image by using DWT at various levels. Then the high dimensional wavelet coefficients are reduced by using SNE. The reduced wavelet coefficients are used as features for the corresponding mammogram image to classify the given mammogram into normal, benign and malignant mass. In the proposed system KNN and SVM classifiers are used to classify the mammograms. Mammography Image Analysis society (MIAS) database is used to evaluate the proposed system. Experimental results show that the proposed system produces 93.39% classification accuracy to classify normal/abnormal images and 92.10% to classify benign/malignant images. Also the SVM classifier produces better accuracy than the KNN classifier.

On the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer (1979)

Randomized trials comparing surgical treatments of breast cancer show that radical mastectomy offers no greater benefit than simple mastectomy followed by radiotherapy. Furthermore, in terms of survival, radical mastectomy seems to be no better than wide excision followed by radiotherapy when the disease is clinically diagnosed as stage 1. The incidence of diagnosed breast cancer showed an 18% increase between 1935 and 1965 and a 50% increase between 1965 and 1975. However, breast cancer mortality has remained unchanged for at least the past 40 years. Analysis of survival curves of women with breast cancer suggests that two or more populations exist, with about 40% suffering fatal outcome unaffected by treatment. The remaining 60% exhibit a relative mortality only modestly different from that of women of similar ages without evidence of disease. Increasing detection of an entity that is histologically defined as malignant but biologically relatively benign could account for the observed increase in incidence. (<i>JAMA</i>241:489-494, 1979)

Value of beryllium lymphocyte transformation tests in chronic beryllium disease and in potentially exposed workers (1983)

The beryllium lymphocyte transformation test was performed on 16 patients with chronic beryllium disease, 10 subjects (seven patients and three young boys) who were under suspicion, and 117 healthy beryllium workers. The tests gave a positive response in all patients with definite disease and a negative response in the suspected group. Two of the healthy workers had a positive response, indicating both exposure and sensitisation. It is not known whether sensitised workers are more liable to develop disease. We consider that the test is of value in the diagnosis of beryllium disease and advocate its use in monitoring the health of potentially exposed workers.

Epitope Mapping: <scp>B</scp> ‐cell Epitopes (2007)

Abstract Immunoglobulin molecules are folded to present a surface structure complementary to a surface feature on the antigen – the epitope is this feature of the antigen. Epitope mapping is the process of locating the antibody‐binding site on the antigen, although the term is also applied more broadly to receptor–ligand interactions unrelated to the immune system.
Inhibitory Effect of Egyptian Propolis on Fasciola gigantica Eggs with Reference to its Effect on Clostridium oedematiens and Correlation to Chemical Composition (2007)

The chemical composition of the propolis samples was investigated by GC/MS and HPLC. 91 compounds have been identified, 26 compounds are being new to propolis. Siwa oasis propolis was characterized by the presence of diprenyl-dihydrocoumaric acids (4.15%), coumarate esters (10.93%), benzofuran lignans (13.47%) and valeric acids derivatives (11.42%). Matrooh sample was characterized by the presence of new ferulate esters, hydroxy acetophenones and furanon derivatives, furofuran lignans and sterol from pregnane type. Dakahlia propolis was a typical poplar propolis. The present study proved evidence of inhibitory activity of propolis on the vitality and hatchability of immature F. gigantica eggs, where three different localities in Egypt were tested for this purpose. The Siwa propolis showed the highest inhibitory effect than the other sources. The complete failure of development and death of all immature eggs were recorded at concentration of 200 microg mL(-1) of Siwa, 400 microg mL(-1) of Matrooh and 800 microg mL(-1) of Dakahlia propolis. The exposed F. gigantica egg shell revealed the same features as the non exposed egg shell when scanning with the electron microscopy. The three propolis samples showed inhibition in the growth of associated bacterium Clostridium oedematiens (Clostridium novyi) type B to fascioliasis. The inhibition varied according to the propolis origin.
An Indirect Multimodal Image Registration and Completion Method Guided by Image Synthesis (2020)

Multimodal registration is a challenging task due to the significant variations exhibited from images of different modalities. CT and MRI are two of the most commonly used medical images in clinical diagnosis, since MRI with multicontrast images, together with CT, can provide complementary auxiliary information. The deformable image registration between MRI and CT is essential to analyze the relationships among different modality images. Here, we proposed an indirect multimodal image registration method, i.e., sCT-guided multimodal image registration and problematic image completion method. In addition, we also designed a deep learning-based generative network, Conditional Auto-Encoder Generative Adversarial Network, called CAE-GAN, combining the idea of VAE and GAN under a conditional process to tackle the problem of synthetic CT (sCT) synthesis. Our main contributions in this work can be summarized into three aspects: (1) We designed a new generative network called CAE-GAN, which incorporates the advantages of two popular image synthesis methods, i.e., VAE and GAN, and produced high-quality synthetic images with limited training data. (2) We utilized the sCT generated from multicontrast MRI as an intermediary to transform multimodal MRI-CT registration into monomodal sCT-CT registration, which greatly reduces the registration difficulty. (3) Using normal CT as guidance and reference, we repaired the abnormal MRI while registering the MRI to the normal CT.
Effect of nonuniform magnetic field on left handed ferrite microstrip line (2006)

Transmission characteristics of the left handed (LH) ferrite microstrip line are significantly affected by the nonuniform bias magnetic field Hin, because strip conductors must be fabricated on the edge of the ferrite substrate. Three dimensional analysis is performed taking into account the non-uniform H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in</inf> caused by the demagnetizing effect in the ferrite substrate. Analyzed result shows that, the nonuniform H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in</inf> expands the frequency range and contributes to the improvement of the nonreciprocal characteristic of the LH ferrite microstrip line. Measured result more than 20 dB isolation with 3.2dB insertion loss and 1.52 GHz bandwidth are almost corresponding to the theoretical result.
