Branded Spaces (2003)

This article comprises a series of critical reflections on some current directions in marketing, with reference to empirical material from a case study of the promotion of a series of live music events. In particular, it highlights a key theme in contemporary marketing: the attempt to approach consumers in an expanded range of everyday spaces. This, in turn, is related to a heightened emphasis on branding, which derives from a complex of factors including a perceived fragmentation and diversification of media audiences and new ideas about the best ways of structuring and stabilizing markets. Within this scenario, the case study is presented as an example of ‘experiential marketing’: one of a range of possible strategic choices in the attempt to insinuate marketing practices more deeply into the lives of consumers. In addition, the case study shows how these spatial practices may be connected to electronic marketing technologies, such as databases, consumer websites and‘viral marketing’campaigns, in an attempt to extend the scope of emotional or affective bonds forged between consumers and brands. The article concludes by arguing that whilst such strategies may not always succeed in their stated aims, their emergence should nonetheless be taken seriously as an important development in the mediation of production and consumption.
Testing technique for embedded ADC (2002)

The paper deals with an improved technique for testing embedded analog-digital converters (EADC) as system objects with the dynamic nonlinear and stochastic properties. A proposed technique makes it possible to estimate the dynamic characterization parameters typical as for spectral domain as for histogram testing. The implementation of the testing technique that is described is based on a broadband test signal that simulates actual operating conditions of EADC. By changing the mode of the test-signal generation it may be possible to except masking of the signal knocked codes. The technique makes it possible to avoid the standard problems associated with precise estimation of the spectrum of a broadband signal. The proposed technique is well suited to the design for test (DFT) and built in self-test (BIST) schemes of integrated circuits including a digital processing unit with an on-chip ADC and DAC.
Synthetic Curcumin Derivatives Inhibit Jun-Fos-DNA Complex Formation (2004)

Jun/Fos, a crucial factor in transmitting the tumor-promoting signal from the extracellular environment to the nuclear transcription machinery, has a dimerization interface possessing several coiled structural properties. Jun and Fos can interact with the DNA regulatory region, AP-1 (Activator Protein-1), which is composed of 5'-TGAC/GTCA-3'.<TEX>$^1$</TEX> Curcumin is a well-known anticancer and anti-inflammatory compound.<TEX>$^{2,3}$</TEX> It also acts as an inhibitor of the Jun-Fos function. c-Fos and c-Jun with a bZIP region are overexpressed in BL21 E. coli and purified with an <TEX>$Ni^{2+}$</TEX> affinity column. The inhibitors of Fos-Jun-AP-1 complex formation were searched through the EMSA (electrophoresis mobility shift assay) experiment, and new curcuminoids were synthesized and investigated as to their inhibitory effect on the same system. Two curcuminoids showed a stronger inhibitory effect than curcumin. This inhibitory activity was quantified with EMSA. 1,7-bis(4-methyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (BJC003) and 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (BJC005) showed remarkably high inhibitory activities. <TEX>$IC_{50}$</TEX> of 1,7-bis(4-methyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (BJC003) and 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3-nitrophenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione (BJC005) are 8.98 <TEX>${\mu}M$</TEX> and 5.40 <TEX>${\mu}M$</TEX>, respectively.

Group-Separation of Rare-Earth Elements by Use of Electrodialysis with a Complexing Agent (1993)

Rare-earth elements were electrically dialyzed in the cerium-gadolinium-yttrium solution and the cerium-lanthanum-praseodymium-neodymium solution in the presence of EDTA as a chelator. The rare-earth elements were finely separated into cerium and gadolinium-yttrium from their mixture and into cerium-lanthanum and praseo-dymium-neodymium from their mixture under the conditions of a wide range of their concentration fraction and their complexing ratio of 50%. The experimental results were successfully explained by a model based on the Nernst-Planck equation with the due consideration of solution equilibrium, membrane selectivity, and migration in the membrane. The model revealed that the separation efficiency was improved by the application of cascade electrodialysis and also that the rare-earth elements should be masked by the same amount of the complexing agent as that of the rare-earth element desired not to permeate through the membrane.
Developing benchmarks for construction information flows (2001)

Recent research suggests that the efficient movement of information between project stakeholders is a critical factor in the success or failure of a construction project. Unfortunately, little effort has been made to understand which information flows are important, or to understand how quickly critical information components can be processed. This paper identifies key construction information components, and outlines a means for developing benchmarks for specific information flows. Benchmarking is a well-known system that uses a given standard to improve the efficiency of individual processes. Using historical data from recent construction projects, information process cycles were analyzed to develop a benchmark for a single information flow: the construction submittal process. This benchmark can be used to measure and improve the processing speed of a construction submittal package. More importantly, when benchmarking is applied to other critical information flows, this system can be used to improve the efficiency of the construction communication process.

The use of computer modeling techniques in near infrared spectroscopy (2008)

Science developments entered a new era in the 21 century. The tendency is clear. The individual scientific fields started to cross each other again in order to have the depth and width in the development. Especially the computer science, it is the fundamental pillar for all the others sciences nowadays. A good example is its applications in Near Infrared spectroscopy (NIR). NIR is a rather new molecular vibrational spectroscopy in the analytical science field. Because of its advantages of being suitable to measure both liquid and solid samples, non destructive to samples, quite acceptable instrumental S/N ratio and sensitivity, NIR technique can be used in many in-line or off-line quantitative analysis. Although NIR only started its development from the 80s of last century, this new technology is developing so quickly that NIR applications have already covered the field of agriculture, material manufacture and chemical industries, petroleum and chemical refining, pharmaceutics and cosmetics etc. It has been widely accepted by many industries, academics and R & D institutes all over the world. However, NIR spectroscopy is a secondary analytical technique. The development of NIR applications is completely dependent upon the good use of Chemometrics, which is a computerized mathematical modeling technique utilized in the analytical field. In the other words, the critical step of a successful NIR application is to make a good NIR calibration model. With a commercially available NIR instrument, to scan the samples and to obtain the NIR spectra are very simple. Furthermore, to use the instrument software to make a pseudo calibration model is also quite easy, but whether the model made will predict the concentration of the relevant components correctly in the unknown samples, is not guaranteed. In this paper, with some real analytical data sets, how to use the major fussy mathematical concepts, such as Principal Components Analysis (PCA), Partial List Square (PLS) etc., in modeling for various applications of NIR spectroscopy will be thoroughly reviewed and discussed.

The use of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) peptidesfor measurement of clinically important proteolytic enzymes (2009)

Proteolytic enzymes have a fundamental role in many biological processes and are associated with multiple pathological conditions. Therefore, targeting these enzymes may be important for a better understanding of their function and development of therapeutic inhibitors. Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) peptides are convenient tools for the study of peptidases specificity as they allow monitoring of the reaction on a continuous basis, providing a rapid method for the determination of enzymatic activity. Hydrolysis of a peptide bond between the donor/acceptor pair generates fluorescence that permits the measurement of the activity of nanomolar concentrations of the enzyme. The assays can be performed directly in a cuvette of the fluorimeter or adapted for determinations in a 96-well fluorescence plate reader. The synthesis of FRET peptides containing ortho-aminobenzoic acid (Abz) as fluorescent group and 2, 4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp) or N-(2, 4-dinitrophenyl)ethylenediamine (EDDnp) as quencher was optimized by our group and became an important line of research at the Department of Biophysics of the Federal University of São Paulo. Recently, Abz/Dnp FRET peptide libraries were developed allowing high-throughput screening of peptidases substrate specificity. This review presents the consolidation of our research activities undertaken between 1993 and 2008 on the synthesis of peptides and study of peptidases specificities.

Synthesis and Properties of Spodumene-Modified Mullite Ceramics (1996)

Spodumene is well known as a lithia bearing flux and a low expansion filler in whiteware bodies. In the present work, an attempt has been made to develop a cost-effective processing of mullite ceramics using spodumene at a flux. It has been observed that mullite based ceramics can be effectively prepared from low cost silica fume and electrostatic precipitated alumina dust raw materials where spodumene acts as a sintering flux. The latter (10 wt%) has also been found to enhance the degree of mullitization; however, an addition of 20 wt% spodumene lowers the yield of mullite due to formation of a β-quartz solid solution.
The antioxidant activity and the bioactive compound content of Stevia rebaudiana water extracts (2010)

Stevia rebaudiana (SR), a chrysanthemum herb, has been used as a vegetable-based sweetening additive in health drinks and in other foods. This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activity and the bioactive compounds found in water extracts taken from SR leaves and calli. Analysis of vitamins in the leaves showed that folic acid (52.18 mg/100 g) was a major component, followed by vitamin C. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were found to be 130.76 μg catechin and 15.64 μg quercetin for leaves and 43.99 μg catechin and 1.57 μg quercetin for cellus at mg of water extracts, respectively. Pyrogallol was the major material among the phenolic compounds in both leaf and callus extracts. Furthermore, our results showed that the leaf extracts contained higher amounts of free radicals, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radical scavenging activities than those of the callus extracts.
Modeling, analysis and control of ethylene glycol reactive distillation column (1999)

Abstract The dynamic behavior and control of an ethylene glycol reactive distillation column were studied. A detailed tray‐by‐tray model that explicitly includes the vapor‐phase balances is derived and compared with a conventional model that ignores the vapor holdup. The steady‐state variation of the product purity (the key output to be controlled) with respect to reboiler heat duty was studied, identifying a region of output multiplicity with three branches corresponding to different conversion and product selectivity. Further analysis of the process on the steady‐state branch with high conversion and selectivity reveals a transition from minimum phase behavior at moderate purity to nonminimum phase behavior at high purity. The nonminimum phase behavior was analyzed and addressed in the design of a nonlinear inversion‐based controller that performs well with stability in the high purity region.

The Extracapsular Spread of Tumors in Cervical Node Metastasis (1981)

Extracapsular spread (ECS) of lymph node metastases is believed to be an indicator of poor prognosis. In general, it has been thought that ECS was limited to large "fixed" nodes. To test the validity of the assumption that nodes less than 3 cm in diameter do not have ECS, the specimens from 177 radical neck dissections were reviewed retrospectively with regard to ECS. Sixty-five percent of the nodes that were 2.9 cm or less in diameter were found to demonstrate ECS. We found no substantial difference in the number of patients who had no histologic disease in their necks when compared with a second group of patients who had metastasis confined to the lymph node. The patients whose lesions had ECS had statistically significantly reduced numbers of survivors. Other factors, eg, tumor differentiation and the number of malignant nodes, had no prognostic importance. The impact of ECS on staging, the reporting of retrospective reviews, and therapy are discussed.
Inverted Organic Solar Cells with ZnO Thin Films Prepared by Sol–Gel Method (2010)

The influences of buffer layers on the performance of hybrid solar cells that are fabricated with an active layer blend of poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6, 6]-phenyl-C61-buytyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), were investigated. The ZnO thin films were used as an electron transport layer in solar cells to improve the photovoltaic performances. To explore the effects of ZnO film thickness, ZnO thin films were deposited as an electron transport layer by spin coating them one to four times at 4000 rpm using zinc acetate dehydrate that was dissolved in a mixed solution of 2-methoxyethanol and ethanolamine. We fabricated IOSCs on PES substrate, consist of Au/MoO 3 /PCBM:P3HT/ZnO/ITO. The optical property of the ZnO buffer layers was investigated. Furthermore, we found the optimum ZnO buffer layer by using the sol―gel method to enhance the performance of the solar cells.
Sharpness index and its application to focus control (1976)

A sharpness index function, derived from the intensity distribution in an image aberrated by a quadratic-curvature wavefront distortion, is shown to be very effective as a measure of the correctness of focus. The function is introduced and analyzed in the spatial frequency domain. Broadly, the sharpness index belongs to a family of functions known as image sharpness functions that are potentially usable for image enhancement and restoration. The selectivity and the sensitivity of the sharpness index are theoretically derived as functions of focus error. Several sharpness index functions have been hardware implemented, and their performance as focus error signal generators have been tested in a TV imaging system in the laboratory. Finally, an outline is presented of an experimental closed-loop autofocus system using a sharpness index function, successfully implemented and tested in the laboratory.

A Review on the Fabrication Techniques of Functionally Graded Ceramic-Metallic Materials in Advanced Composites (2013)

Whenever two or more dissimilar materials are bonded, large jump in the stresses occurred at the interface during the fabrication will leads to the delamination and poor load-bearing performance on the final structures. Functionally graded material (FGM) which has compositional and microstructure gradient along its thickness was introduced to be a great solution to this problem. Aiming for the best technique to be implemented, this paper presents an extensive review on the various fabrication
techniques of FGMs composed by metallic and ceramic phases. Fabrication techniques in this field of work have incorporated many concepts from different background of gradation processes and consolidation or sintering processes. Each of these processes however has their own advantages and disadvantages. The best technique to be applied can be found by considering some critical issues
highlighted in published literatures. This review concluded the powder metallurgy (PM) as the most suitable technique certainly for mass production and up-scaling of the FGMs. The selection was strengthen after considering the advantages of the technique such as process cost-effectiveness, reliability of the practical implementation of the process and the high capability of the process to control the quality of the FGMs.
Rehabilitation of motor dysfunction in primary brain tumor patients† (2015)

In 2010 it was estimated that >688 000 Americans were living with a primary brain tumor (PBT) corresponding to a U.S. prevalence rate of approximately 221.8 per 100 000 people. Five-year survival is 96.1% in nonmalignant PBTs, 34% in malignant PBTs for all ages, and 71% in children [1985-2005]. Case fatality rates have decreased in the U.S. since the 1970's for nonmalignant PBTs and for medulloblastoma, oligodendroglioma, and astrocytoma. Statistics of increasing survival highlight the importance of rehabilitation interventions to improve function and quality of life in survivors. PBT motor dysfunction is multifactorial, occurring as a result of direct effects of tumor and/or swelling or as a result of treatments; etiologies include encephalopathy, myopathy, neuropathy, infection, poor nutrition, metabolic factors, emotional factors, impaired perception/vision/cognition and complications of immobility. Motor dysfunction may lead to: impaired mobility, impaired activities of daily living, risk for complications of immobility, falls, pain, anxiety/depression, and loss of functional independence and quality of life. Rehabilitation treatment strategies target specific causes of motor dysfunction to improve functional independence and quality of life. This article reviews current knowledge and controversy regarding the role of rehabilitation for motor disorders in PBT patients.
Amplification Characteristics of a Discharge Excited F<sub>2</sub>Laser (1990)

Abstract The small signal gain coefficient and the saturation intensity of a molecular-fluorine pulsed-discharge laser at 157 nm have been measured using two discharge devices in the oscillator-amplifier configuration. At 3 atm total gas pressure and 1·5 cm electrode spacing the small signal gain coefficient and the saturation intensity of the 3Π2g → 3ΠI2u transition were measured to be 5·2% cm−1 and 5 MW cm−2 respectively.
