SizeCap: Efficiently handling power surges in fuel cell powered data centers (2016)

Fuel cells are a promising power source for future data centers, offering high energy efficiency, low greenhouse gas emissions, and high reliability. However, due to mechanical limitations related to fuel delivery, fuel cells are slow to adjust to sudden increases in data center power demands, which can result in temporary power shortfalls. To mitigate the impact of power shortfalls, prior work has proposed to either perform power capping by throttling the servers, or to leverage energy storage devices (ESDs) that can temporarily provide enough power to make up for the shortfall while the fuel cells ramp up power generation. Both approaches have disadvantages: power capping conservatively limits server performance and can lead to service level agreement (SLA) violations, while ESD-only solutions must significantly overprovision the energy storage device capacity to tolerate the shortfalls caused by the worst-case (i.e., largest) power surges, which greatly increases the total cost of ownership (TCO). We propose SizeCap, the first ESD sizing framework for fuel cell powered data centers, which coordinates ESD sizing with power capping to enable a cost-effective solution to power shortfalls in data centers. SizeCap sizes the ESD just large enough to cover the majority of power surges, but not the worst-case surges that occur infrequently, to greatly reduce TCO. It then uses the smaller capacity ESD in conjunction with power capping to cover the power shortfalls caused by the worst-case power surges. As part of our new flexible framework, we propose multiple power capping policies with different degrees of awareness of fuel cell and workload behavior, and evaluate their impact on workload performance and ESD size. Using traces from Microsoft's production data center systems, we demonstrate that SizeCap significantly reduces the ESD size (by 85%ofor a workload with infrequent yet large power surges, and by 50% for a workload with frequent power surges) without violating any SLAs.
Sterically Crowded Heterocycles. X. A New Mechanistic Approach to the Ferricyanide Oxidation of 4,6'-Disubstituted 1-(Pyridin-2'-yl)-2,6-diphenylpyridinium Salts (1999)

The oxidations of the title perchlorates, bearing the sterically diverse 6'-substituents (H, Me, Et, i-Pr, n-Bu, t -Bu and Ph) in two series with the same 4-substituents (Ph and t -Bu) lead to pairs of isomeric 3',5-disubstituted ( Z )-1'-phenyl-3'-(2-phenylimidazo[1,2- a ]pyridin-3-yl)prop-2'- en-1'-ones and 3,6'-disubstituted [5-phenyl-1-(6'-pyridin-2'-yl)-1 H -pyrrol-2-yl](phenyl)methanones except where the both variable substituents are t -Bu and then only pyrrolic product is formed. Considering steric interactions of the substituents in some intermediate and/or transition states a multistep mechanism for the oxidative transformation is proposed and supported by model PM3-PECI calculations of some radical intermediates.

<title>Statistics of spontaneously generated Raman solitons</title> (1991)

A numerical simulation is described that accurately reproduces experimentally observed statistical properties of spontaneous Raman soliton generation. Comparisons of the soliton yield and the distributions of soliton delay times and peak intensities indicate a close agreement between theory and experiment.
Tissue Response to Polyglycolide and Polylevolactide Pins in Osteotomized Cancellous Bone (2001)

A transcondylar osteotomy of the distal femur was fixed with a self-reinforced polyglycolide pin in one hind leg and with a self-reinforced polylevolactide pin in the other hind leg of 49 rats. The intact femurs of eight rats that did not have surgical treatment were used as controls. The tissue reaction to the implant and the consolidation of the osteotomy were examined radiographically, histologically, histomorphometrically, microradiographically, and using oxytetracycline fluorescence studies. The followups were from 1 to 52 weeks. A vigorous osteostimulatory tissue response to self-reinforced polyglycolide pins and self-reinforced polylevolactide pins was observed 1 week after fixation. This reaction reached its highest value 24 weeks after self-reinforced polyglycolide pin fixation and 6 weeks after self-reinforced polylevolactide pin fixation. The highest values of the mean trabecular bone area fraction, 27.9% for self-reinforced polyglycolide pins and 28.1% for self-reinforced polylevolactide pins, were measured at 48 weeks. At 12 weeks there was a peak of phagocytizing macrophages in the specimens with self-reinforced polyglycolide pin fixation. During the followup, total phagocytosis of self-reinforced polyglycolide pins was seen, but only a few signs of degradation of self-reinforced polylevolactide pins were observed. Both polymeric implants seemed to possess osteostimulatory properties, and the biocompatibility and clinical relevance proved to be acceptable.
On the geometry of intuitionistic S4 proofs (2003)

The Curry-Howard correspondence between formulas and types, proofs and programs, proof simplification and program execution, also holds for intuitionistic modal logic S4. It turns out that the S4 modalities translate as a monoidal comonad on the space of proofs, giving rise to a canonical augmented simplicial structure. We study the geometry of these augmented simplicial sets, showing that each type gives rise to an augmented simplicial set which is a disjoint sum of nerves of finite lattices of points, plus isolated (-1)-dimensional subcomplexes. As an application, we give semantics of modal proofs (a.k.a., programs) in categories of augmented simplicial sets and of topological spaces, and prove a completeness result in the style of Friedman: if any two proofs have the same denotations in each augmented simplicial model, then they are convertible. This result rests both on the fine geometric structure of the constructed spaces of proofs and on properties of subscone categories-the categorical generalization of the notion of logical relations used in lambda-calculus.
Identification of oxytocin and vasopressin from neurohypophyseal cell culture (1998)

Our observation that dispersed cultures of neurohypophysis obtained from adult rats are capable of synthesizing and releasing oxytocin and vasopressin is unexpected, because in whole animals these hormones are known only to be stored, not to be produced in the posterior lobe of the pituitary. The hormone content of cell culture medium was elevated from 0 to 129 +/- 14 pg/mg protein for oxytocin and from 0 to 42 +/- 4 pg/mg protein for vasopressin during two weeks as determined by specific radioimmunoassay. By molecular mass and structure determination (tandem mass spectrometry) we have proved that the supernatant of the cell cultures contains not only immunologically but mass spectrometrically identified neurohypophyseal hormones.
[Serious manifestation of primary hypothyroidism]. (2006)

Thyroid gland diseases are the most frequent endocrinopathy and can be often seen in adult population. They occur at least by 5% of the population and the occurence increases with age, in females aging 45 and more, as thyroid gland diseases in this age group are represented approximately by 20%. Due to a complex influence of thyroid hormones in humans, diagnosis of thyroid disease may remain unsuspected under other disease with typical symptoms; the most serious of them is cardiogenic manifestation. When thyroid disease suspected, methods of diagnostics are very comprehensive and broad. Treatment on time can prevent serious complications. Case-study presenting a female patient with untreated primary hypothyroidism that had caused serious cardiac symptoms.

Sites of synthesis of serum proteins. II. Medium requirements for serum protein production by rat macrophages. (1967)

Summary The medium requirements for the maintenance of serum protein formation by rat and mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro were investigated. Macrophages from both species showed much higher levels of β1C and transferrin synthesis after a 48- or 72-hr incubation in a medium containing 20% as opposed to 1% newborn calf serum. This requirement for serum in the medium could be satisfied by addition of hydrocortisone (0.1 to 0.2 µg/ml) to synthetic medium (minimal Eagle9s medium (MEM)) in the case of rat but not with mouse macrophages. In the absence of serum protein, higher cortisol concentrations (1 µg/ml) did not maintain serum protein formation by rat macrophages. If, however, bovine serum albumin (5 mg/ml) was added to the MEM, concentrations of cortisol as high as 5 µg/ml were effective in supplementing the basic medium. A “buffering” capacity of serum albumin with respect to the effect of cortisol on macrophages is suggested by these findings.
siRNA-mediated protein knockdown in precision-cut lung slices (2018)

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can induce RNA interference, which leads to the knockdown of messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein. As a result, siRNA is often used in vitro and in vivo to unravel the function of genes and as a therapeutic agent to disrupt excessive expression of disease-related genes. However, there is a large gap between in vitro and in vivo models in terms of simplicity, flexibility, throughput, and translatability. This gap could be bridged by using precision-cut tissue slices, which represent viable explants prepared from animal or human tissue that can be cultured ex vivo. Previously, we demonstrated that self-deliverable siRNA (Accell siRNA) induced significant mRNA knockdown in lung slices. The goal of this study, however, was to investigate whether Accell siRNA also induced protein knockdown in murine lung slices. Slices were incubated for up to 96 h with no siRNA (untransfected), non-targeting siRNA (control), or gene-targeting siRNA (Gapdh, Ppib, Serpinh1, and Bcl2l1). Overall, untransfected and transfected slices remained viable during an incubation of 96 h. In addition, gene-targeting siRNAs induced not only significant and specific mRNA knockdown but also protein knockdown. Finally, protein knockdown of fibrogenesis-related targets (Ppib, Serpinh1, and Bcl2l1) was shown to influence fibrogenesis on mRNA level, thereby demonstrating this model its utility in functional genomics and translational research.
β<sub>2</sub>-Agonist fenoterol has greater effects on contractile function of rat skeletal muscles than clenbuterol (2002)

Potential treatments for skeletal muscle wasting and weakness ideally possess both anabolic and ergogenic properties. Although the beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist clenbuterol has well-characterized effects on skeletal muscle, less is known about the therapeutic potential of the related beta(2)-adrenoceptor agonist fenoterol. We administered an equimolar dose of either clenbuterol or fenoterol to rats for 4 wk to compare their effects on skeletal muscle and tested the hypothesis that fenoterol would produce more powerful anabolic and ergogenic effects. Clenbuterol treatment increased fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) by 6% and maximal isometric force (P(o)) by 20% in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, whereas fiber CSA in soleus muscles decreased by 3% and P(o) was unchanged, compared with untreated controls. In the EDL muscles, fenoterol treatment increased fiber CSA by 20% and increased P(o) by 12% above values achieved after clenbuterol treatment. Soleus muscles of fenoterol-treated rats exhibited a 13% increase in fiber CSA and a 17% increase in P(o) above that of clenbuterol-treated rats. These data indicate that fenoterol has greater effects on the functional properties of rat skeletal muscles than clenbuterol.
Purines. LII. Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 8-Methylguanine 7-Oxide and Its 9-Arylmethyl Derivatives. (1992)

The synthesis of 8-methylguanine 7-oxide (3) was accomplished via a "phenacylamine route", which started from condensation of alpha-(4-methoxybenzylamino)propiophenone (6), prepared by coupling of alpha-bromopropiophenone (4) and 4-methoxybenzylamine (5), with 2-amino-6-chloro-5-nitro-4(3H)-pyrimidinone (7) and proceeded through cyclization of the resulting phenacylaminopyrimidinone (8) and removal of the 4-methoxybenzyl group. The N-oxide 3 and its 9-arylmethyl derivatives 9 and 11 showed only very weak antileukemic activity and no antimicrobial activity.
Photovoltaic properties of Si-based quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells prepared using laser plasma in liquid (2013)

The current–voltage characteristics of Si-based quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) were examined. Si nanoparticles were prepared using laser-induced plasma. Si wafer in ethanol was irradiated with a Nd:YAG second harmonic generation (SHG) laser beam. The prepared nanoparticles were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy. Particle size was measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Highly crystalline Si nanoparticles were observed by TEM. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the Si nanoparticles were also measured. Two types of QDSSCs were produced. One included ethanol during the production of TiO 2 /Si nanoparticle layer on a transparent conductive oxide electrode because ethanol solution with dispersed Si nanoparticles was prepared by this method; the other type did not include ethanol. The photovoltaic properties of the former were significantly degraded; the latter maintained its good photovoltaic properties. The properties of the latter gradually improved during the measurements. In particular, current density was increased, which increased conversion efficiency. These phenomena are related to changes in Si nanoparticle surface conditions.

A Video‐Based 3D‐Reconstruction of Soccer Games (2000)

In this paper we present SoccerMan, a reconstruction system designed to generate animated, virtual 3D views from two synchronous video sequences of a short part of a given soccer game. After the reconstruction process, which needs also some manual interaction, the virtual 3D scene can be examined and ‘replayed’ from any viewpoint. Players are modeled as so‐called animated texture objects, i.e. 2D player shapes are extracted from video and texture‐mapped onto rectangles in 3D space. Animated texture objects have shown very appropriate as a 3D representation of soccer players in motion, as the visual nature of the original human motion is preserved. The trajectories of the players and the ball in 3D space are reconstructed accurately. In order to create a 3D reconstruction of a given soccer scene, the following steps have to be executed: 1) Camera parameters of all frames of both sequences are computed (camera calibration). 2) The playground texture is extracted from the video sequences. 3) Trajectories of the ball and the players' heads are computed after manually specifying their image positions in a few key frames. 4) Player textures are extracted automatically from video. 5) The shapes of colliding or occluding players are separated automatically. 6) For visualization, player shapes are texture‐mapped onto appropriately placed rectangles in virtual space. SoccerMan is a novel experimental sports analysis system with fairly ambitious objectives. Its design decisions, in particular to start from two synchronous video sequences and to model players by texture objects, have already proven promising.
Polymer Crystallization Kinetics (2019)

Abstract Polymer crystallization, like many other phase transitions, occurs through a process of nucleation and growth. Although of fundamental importance, the nucleation step is still poorly understood, nevertheless, though major progress has been achieved in the past decade by using novel analytical tools. Herein, we outline the key experimental data and theories that have been developed to explain these data. A brief look at some more recent approaches is also given. The majority of this article considers the growth process itself, concentrating on linear, flexible polymers as this is the area where the most complete data set is available. An outline of the theories that have been developed to explain and predict crystallization kinetics is also given, focusing on their fundamental assumptions and predictions rather than their mathematical intricacies. This article is not intended to be an all‐inclusive review on the topic but rather a tutorial style introduction. For the sake of brevity, this article will, therefore, concentrate on areas that are of particular interest to the authors and to principles and observations that have, in the authors’ opinion, the widest applicability.
Fra global til lokal - ny forståelse av den elektromekaniske koblingen i hjertet (2012)

Normal cardiac electromechanical coupling depends on control of ionic homeostasis in intracellular microdomains. Insight into the interaction between proteins in these "local neighbourhoods" provides new explanations for the pathophysiology of heart disease and paves the way for further research on arrhythmia mechanisms in hereditary diseases such as ankyrin-B syndrome.

Variability in Size Measurement of Renal Masses Smaller Than 4 cm on Computerized Tomography (2006)

When comparing independent computerized tomography readings done with 5 mm collimation and a 2.5 mm reconstruction interval, a size change in the largest axial dimension of a renal mass of less than 3.1 mm between different radiologists and less than 2.3 mm for the same radiologist should be viewed with caution because it is within the range of measurement variability.

Reovirus protein σ1: From cell attachment to protein oligomerization and folding mechanisms (1994)

The reovirus cell attachment protein sigma 1 is a lollipop-shaped structure with the fibrous tail anchored to the virion. Since it interacts with the cell receptor, sigma 1 is a major determinant of reovirus infectivity and tissue tropism. Studies on its structure-function relationships have been facilitated by the fact that protein sigma 1 produced in any expression system is capable of binding to cell receptors. The use of site-specific and deletion mutants has led to the identification and characterization of its virion anchorage and receptor binding domains. Studies on the oligomeric status of sigma 1 have revealed that sigma 1 is a homotrimer and that two independent trimerization events at different loci (the N- and C-terminal halves, respectively) of the protein, are involved in its generation. This also accounts for a clearly demonstrable dominant negative effect by a mutant subunit in a wild-type/mutant sigma 1 heterotrimer. Current efforts are focused on the involvement of chaperones in the generation of sigma 1 and on events that take place upon sigma 1 binding to the cell receptor. Protein sigma 1 has therefore become an excellent model system for the study of both virus attachment and protein oligomerization and folding mechanisms.

The Gardos channel is responsible for CDNB-induced dense sickle cell formation (2000)

The red blood cells (RBCs) derived from blood taken from homozygous sickle cell (SS) patients demonstrate densities that are inversely proportional to the intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH) content. Addition of 1 mM 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) to low-density sickle cells (LDSS), at 4 degrees C, results in a shift of LDSS erythrocytes to high-density sickle cells (HDSS), with corresponding decreases in GSH. We have previously demonstrated that this CDNB effect was due to increased K(+) leakage and that dense cell formation could be inhibited by clotrimazole (specific for the Gardos channel) but not DIOA (specific for the K(+)-Cl(-) co-transport system) at pH 7.4 (Shartava et al. Am. J. Hematol. 1999;62:19-24). Here we demonstrate that clotrimazole (10 microM) inhibits dense cell formation at pH 7.1 and 6.8, while DIOA (1 mM) has no effect. As pH 6.8 is the optimal pH for the K(+)-Cl(-) co-transport system, we can now reasonably conclude that damage to the Gardos channel is responsible for CDNB-induced dense cell formation.
