APPROXIMATION OF THE FRACTAL TRANSITION USING ATTRACTORS EXCITED BY PERIODIC INPUTS (2003)

Dissipative continuous dynamical systems with multiple external inputs are studied. When inputs are stochastically switched, the dynamics is characterized by trajectories with attractive fractal-like structures. We call this dynamics the fractal transition. This paper shows that a set of attractors obtained by periodic inputs can approximate trajectories of the fractal transition that have equal switching probabilities. The Hausdorff distance D is used to estimate the accuracy of approximation. We also present two numerical experiments, using harmonic and Duffing oscillators, corresponding to linear and nonlinear systems, respectively. We numerically show that D ≃ 0 given a large enough number of periodic inputs. For linear systems, under some conditions, we analytically derive the upper bound of D and show that D converges to 0.
Plasma Carotenoids and Tocopherols and Risk of Myocardial Infarction in a Low-Risk Population of US Male Physicians (2003)

These prospective data do not support an overall protective relation between plasma carotenoids or tocopherols and future MI risk among men without a history of prior cardiovascular disease.
Q-switching of a Tm,Ho:KLu(WO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>microchip laser by a graphene-based saturable absorber (2015)

The first Ho microchip laser passively Q-switched using a graphene-based saturable absorber is demonstrated based on a Tm,Ho:KLu(WO4)2 crystal cut along the Ng-axis. A maximum average output power of 74 mW is extracted from the diode-pumped laser at 2061 nm with a slope efficiency of 4%. Pulses as short as 200 ns with an energy of ~0.2 μJ are obtained at a repetition rate of 340 kHz. The energy transfer (ET), 3 F4 (Tm3+) ↔ 5 I7 (Ho3+) is studied, yielding ET parameters of P28 = 1.69 and P71 = 0.15 × 10−22 cm3 μs−1 , revealing the strong prevalence of direct ET.
Persistence of Non Gene-Modified Adoptively Transferred Marrow Infiltrating Lymphocytes (MILs) More Than Five Years Post Transfer (2016)

Abstract Hallmarks of effective adoptive T cell therapy include: 1) the ability to access and expand T cells of interest 2) measurable anti-tumor efficacy of these cells upon reinfusion and 3) T cell persistence over time. In examining the long-term follow-up of patients treated with MILs, we show evidence of persistence of adoptively transferred MILs for over five years post transfer. In a clinical trial conducted in 2007, Prevnar naïve myeloma patients were immunized against the modified diphtheria toxin, CRM197 with the Prevnar vaccine administered 2 weeks prior to collecting marrow infiltrating lymphocytes (MILs) from bone marrow. Patients received a CD34-selected (T cell depleted) autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) and had activated and expanded MILs infused 3 days later. As such, 99% of infused T cells were Prevnar-primed, ex vivo expanded MILs. This approach enabled us to track the fate of the non gene-modified MILs by examining CRM197 specific T cells. As originally reported, persistence at one year of both CRM197 and myeloma antigen-specific T cells correlated with clinical responses.1 Long-term follow up was performed in a subset of the patients that had undergone bone marrow biopsies for clinical purposes. The results showed that patients who had been in a complete response at the end of the clinical trial maintained a greater number of both CRM197 and myeloma antigen-specific T cells over time for up to 7 years after the clinical trial. Patients who did not achieve a complete response and subsequently relapsed showed a loss of both CRM197 as well as myeloma antigen- specific T cells in most cases. Considering that the patients received a T cell depleted stem cell graft, the CRM197-specific T cells that were measured were likely a result of the Prevnar-primed MILs. From these results, we conclude that: 1) adoptively transferred CRM-197 specific MILs showed persistence up 7 years following their infusion. 2) the magnitude of CRM197 and myeloma antigen-specific T cell responses correlated with clinical responsiveness. Taken together, these data demonstrate several unique attributes of MILs which are critical for successful adoptive T cell therapyAdoptive transfer of activated marrow-infiltrating lymphocytes induces measurable antitumor immunity in the bone marrow in multiple myeloma.

<title>Wavelength-multiplexed holographic lens arrays for optical interconnection</title> (1994)

Multistage interconnection networks (MINs) are used to create wide diameter networks with a logarithmic number of stages. To further reduce the costs of constructing and operating this type of network, these stages can be stored in a volume hologram and accessed sequentially to achieve the same functionality as a MIN. We discuss the design of such a system and demonstrate a prototype that uses infrared sensitive photorefractive lithium niobate to store a wavelength multiplexed volume holographic lens array. The holograms were recorded at 800 nm and several stages were multiplexed in a single hologram, each separated by as little as 0.6 nm. The optical system performance was analyzed and the results discussed.
Coalition Formation Based Compressive Sensing in Wireless Sensor Networks (2018)

Compressive sensing originates in the field of signal processing and has recently become a topic of energy-efficient data gathering in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose an energy efficient distributed compressive sensing solution for sensor networks. The proposed solution utilizes sparsity distribution of signals to group sensor nodes into several coalitions and then implements localized compressive sensing inside coalitions. This solution improves data-gathering performance in terms of both data accuracy and energy consumption. The approach curbs both data-transmission costs and number of measurements. Coalition-based data gathering cuts transmission costs, and the number of measurements is reduced by scheduling sensor nodes and adjusting their sampling frequency. Our simulation showed that our approach enhances network performance by minimizing energy cost and improving data accuracy.
Culicoides et virus transmis : compréhension de la dynamique des populations de vecteurs et des mécanismes de circulation de la fièvre catarrhale ovine (2013)

Les organisations de santé animale et humaine sont aujourd'hui confrontées à des crises sanitaires importantes liées à l'émergence, ou la ré-émergence, des maladies à transmission vectorielle. Avec l'accroissement des échanges et des mouvements d'animaux et des changements environnementaux, ces risques sanitaires dépassent le clivage Nord/Sud. C'est le cas du virus de la fièvre catarrhale ovine, transmis aux ruminants sauvages et domestiques par des moucherons hématophages du genre Culicoides, parfait exemple de virus émergent en Europe. Considérée comme exotique jusqu'en 1998, la fièvre catarrhale ovine est désormais présente dans tout le bassin méditerranéen avec plusieurs sérotypes viraux, conséquence d'une extension vers le nord de Culicoides imicola, son principal vecteur afro-asiatique. À partir d'août 2006, le sérotype 8 s'est introduit dans le nord de l'Europe, alors que C. imicola en est absent, transmis par les populations autochtones de Culicoides. La FCO correspond donc à un double enjeu, à la fois sanitaire et scientifique, avec l'étude de la propagation rapide d'une maladie vectorielle émergente dans des régions jusqu'alors indemnes. Les questions de recherches qui intéressent l'unité sont: -l'étude des patrons de distribution spatio-temporelle des espèces paléarctiques. A partir des données du réseau de surveillance entomologique des Culicoides (160 pièges couvrant le territoire métropolitain et la Corse, opérés à un rythme hebdomadaire ou mensuel pendant 4 années), développer des modèles multi-espèces permettant de décrire, comprendre et prédire la dynamique spatio-temporelle des principales espèces vectrices afin de mieux évaluer le risque de transmission de pathogènes. - la dynamique du moucheron C. imicola dans le bassin méditerranéen: Déterminer et comprendre les caractéristiques démographiques, historiques et évolutives ayant conduit à la répartition actuelle de C. imicola, et d'autre part, la structuration et la dynamique des populations dans les territoires nouvellement colonisés du sud de l'Europe. Une approche multi-marqueurs est en cours réalisée à différentes échelles : globale, sur toute l'aire de distribution de C. imicola, régionale, dans le bassin méditerranéen, et locale, entre Corse et le département du Var. - la dynamique de circulation de la maladie. Des travaux ont été réalisés sur les 2 sérotypes du virus de la FCO, les sérotypes 1 et 8 qui se sont propagés massivement en France continentale de 2006 à 2008. Ces travaux ont permis de déterminer la vitesse à laquelle la FCO a progressé et d'identifier les facteurs environnementaux ayant influencé sa progression. La complémentarité des approches permet d'envisager la mise au point de nouveaux outils pour améliorer la compréhension des mécanismes de transmission de la maladie étudiée et les stratégies de lutte.

Association of hla‐b39 with hla‐b27‐negative ankylosing spondylitis and pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in japanese patients (1995)

Because HLA-B27 and HLA-B39 share Glu at position 45 and Cys at position 67, both of which constitute components of the peptide-anchoring B pocket, and because they possess similar peptide-ligand motifs, our results may support either the role of the peptides presented by class I antigens or the importance of Cys at position 67, in the development of spondylarthropathies and pauciarticular-onset JRA.
An active microscaffold for applications in tissue engineering (2013)

Assembling engineered tissues at the mesoscale into an engineered organ has specially attracted our attention since engineered organ usually has a very complex structure and cannot be fabricated simply by using a fixed scaffold. The fabrication of these composite tissues is, however, difficult since many different scaffolds are required. The flexible microsaffold, called “changeable cell culture (C <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> ) mold”, is therefore proposed to simplify this task. C <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> mold consists of 5×5 PDMS microactuator array with a diameter of 700 μm and spacing of 800 μm. The fabrication of cutout-shaped gel sheet is successfully carried out where mineral oil is used as the working fluid. This experiment indeed demonstrates the possibility of using C <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> mold in future tissue fabrication.
Management of mediastinal parathyroid adenoma via minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery (2017)

Symptomatic hypercalcemia and high level of PTH without local PA should alert physicians to search for ectopic locations through imaging. VATS is a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure for the resection of ectopic mediastinal PA and it should be considered as the first line approach for resection of these ectopic tumors.
Statistical and theoretical analysis of the soft-constrained time-optimal control of stable linear plants (2003)

The soft-constrained time-optimal control (SCTO) of a general strictly stable linear system whose dominant pole has a distinct real part is considered. A detailed analytical study of the asymptotic saturation properties of the control amplitude and duration is presented. These properties are qualitatively different from those of a marginally stable linear system and can be deduced analytically from the eigenstructure of the plant. The analysis shows that, under some (reasonable) hypotheses, the control amplitude is bounded by an inequality constraint. Since the validity of the hypotheses cannot be rigorously shown, a statistical analysis is used to show that these hypotheses are statistically valid. Numerical and statistical results agree well with theoretical predictions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Ant System Implementation using Microblaze: Some Preliminary Results on Efficiency Study (2009)

The paper presents some preliminary results on efficiency study of Ant System implementation using software processor Microblaze. By the use of Monte-Carlo tests of number π calculation the best use of Pseudo-Random Number Generator – implementation of Multiply-With-Carry algorithm in a single precision floating point numbers – is grounded. By experimentation the usefulness of eight supplemental Microblaze core units is assessed and the advantage of the use of Basic Floating Point Unit together with 32 bits Integer Multiplier is proven. Experimental investigation of Traveling Salesman Problem solution by implemented Ant System is presented and confirms that rapid growth of standard deviation may be used as an indicator that system should be adjusted for current complexity of the problem.

A newly‐characterized α‐thalassaemia‐1 deletion removes the entire α‐like globin gene cluster in an Italian family (1991)

We describe a new deletional form of alpha thalassaemia which encompasses the entire alpha-like globin gene cluster in a 15-year-old boy of Southern Italian descent. The deletion removes approximately 31 kb, the 5'-end point is located approximately 4 kb upstream of the xi gene, while the 3'-end point maps between the alpha 1- and theta 1-globin genes. The interaction of this deletion with the common-alpha 3.7 form gives origin to a classical form of haemoglobin (Hb) H disease in the propositus of this study. Deletional forms of xi alpha-thalassaemia are uncommon in the Mediterranean basin; as for other unusual xi alpha-thalassaemia forms, heterozygotes for this mutation may escape detection in population surveys based on zeta and alpha probes.
Biotechnological breeding for salt tolerance of dandelion (2004)

Dandelion is historically recognized as weedy plant and is familiar to us as medicinal herb.It comes into fashion as a new type of vegetable in recent years. Though many research works on thechemical constitutes, medical mechanism,caryotype,cell culture and molecular biology of dande-lion have been carried out,rare biotechnological modification has been done. In this review,combined with our works,we reviewed the research situation of dandelion and focused on the trendof the biotechnological breeding for salt tolerance,in order to develop dandelion application further.
Arginine and Ornithine Decarboxylases, the Polyamine Biosynthetic Enzymes of Mung Bean Seedlings (1982)

General properties and relative activities of l-arginine decarboxylase (ADC) (EC 4.1.1.19) and l-ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) (EC 4.1.1.17), two important enzymes in putrescine and polyamine biosynthesis, were investigated in mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) tissues. Both activities increase linearly with increasing concentrations of crude enzyme, but the increase in ADC activity is considerably greater. The decarboxylation reaction is linear for up to 30 to 60 minutes, and both enzymes have a pH optimum of 7.2. alpha-Difluoromethyl-ornithine inhibits ODC activity of excised roots, while increasing ADC activity.High specific activity of both enzymes is detected in terminal buds and leaves, while root and hypocotyl activity is low. Different ADC-to-ODC activity ratios are found in various tissues of mung bean plants. Substantial increase in the activity of both enzymes is detected in incubated sections as compared with intact plants. A comparison of several plant species indicates a wide range of ADC-to-ODC activity ratio.It is suggested that both ADC and ODC are active in plant tissues and that their relative contribution to putrescine biosynthesis is dependent upon the type of tissue and growth process.
Calculation of the optical power of intraocular lenses. (1975)

A rather simple clinical approach has been used to derive formulas necessary to calculate the power of pupillary intracameral prosthetics and these have been applied in 150 eyes. In 136 eyes, the postoperative measurements were within one diopter of preoperative calculations.
Interface recombination in amorphous/crystalline silicon solar cells, a simulation study (2003)

The paper presents a numerical simulation of the behavior of a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction solar cells. The simulations address in particular the question of the role of interface recombination for the device performance. It is shown that the critical parameters are the density of interface states at the a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction and the band bending which is determined by the band offsets and the front contact work function. It is shown that due to the more favorable band bending the structure with the p-type emitter on an n-type c-Si absorber has an intrinsic advantage over the inverse structure. The role of an undoped a-Si:H buffer layer is discussed and it is shown that the front contact TCO/a-Si:H has considerable influence on the band bending in the c-Si wafer and therefore is of crucial importance for the cell performance.
Characteristics of Lithium-Manganese Ferrite as Magnetic Carrier for Electrophotography (1998)

Characteristics of the Lithium-Manganese ferrite were investigated to use as a magnetic carrier for electrophotography. The Lithium-Manganese ferrite system has no hazardous heavy metal which gives bad effects to nature as industrial waste after use. The Lithium-Manganese ferrite carrier was prepared by atomizer granulation and normal air sintering process. In the several limited compositions, the lithium-manganese ferrite had sufficient magnetization for electrophotography. Grain size of the carrier surface was increased by increasing sintering temperature. So, carrier surface could be controlled from rough to smooth by changing the sintering temperature. And regulation of electrical resistivity of the carrier was obtained by annealing in the nitrogen atmosphere. Chargeability of the lithium-manganese ferrite carrier was influenced by its composition, and stable triboelectric charge was obtained through the agitation time for mixing with toner.
Preliminary Study on Evaluation of Effects of Acid Deposition on Forested Ecosystem in East Tanzawa Mountains Estimated from Chemical Characteristics of Stream Waters (2007)

It has been reported that the nitrate concentration in stream water in the mountainside on Mt. Oyama (1252 m a.s.l), which is located at the western part of Kanagawa Prefecture, is higher than that in stream water in other regions, indicating that nitrogen saturation is occurring in the forested ecosystem. However, there has been no report on nitrogen saturation across the Tanzawa mountains, except Mt. Oyama. We investigated the current status of the stream water chemistry and the effect of acid deposition on the stream water chemistry across the East Tanzawa mountains. Thirty-eight samples were collected in nine mountain streams in this region. The mean pH and alkalinity in stream water in this region were 7.315 and 650 μeq/L, respectively. There was no symptom of stream-water acidification by acid deposition in East Tanzawa, probably because of the high acid buffering capacity by the weathering of carbonate and silicate minerals. Nitrate concentrations in the stream water ranged from 27.6 to 87.8 μeq/L and NH4+ was detected. High nitrate concentration in stream water suggests that nitrogen saturation is occurring in the forested ecosystem in East Tanzawa mountains. We divided our sampling sites into southeast (SE), southwest (SW), and north (N) regions by the ridge line of Mt. Tanzawa - Mt. Tonodake - Shindainichi - Mt. Sannoto - Mt. Takenodai - Mt. Oyama - Mt. Mitsumine. The stream water pH was lower and the concentrations of Na+ and NO3− were higher in south regions. There were high correlations between the concentrations of Na+ (r = −0.854), Cl− (r = −0.815) and NO3− (r = −0.922) and the distance from the coast of Odawara City, Oisomachi, and Ninomiyamachi. In addition, a high correlation between the NO3− and Cl− concentrations (r = 0.741), which is an indicator of atmospheric deposition, in stream water was observed. Our preliminary investigation indicates that the runoff of nitrate, originated from atmospheric deposition, might occur in the forested ecosystem in the southern regions in East Tanzawa.
Air‐Stable {(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)Co} Catalysts for [2+2+2] Cycloadditions (2009)

Cobalt cyclopentadienyl complexes incorporating a fumarate and a CO ligand (see picture) efficiently catalyze inter- and intramolecular [2+2+2] cycloadditions of alkynes, nitriles, and/or alkenes to give benzenes, pyridines, or 1,3-cyclohexadienes. Unlike catalysts such as [CpCo(CO)(2)] or [CpCo(C(2)H(4))(2)] (Cp = C(5)H(5)), they are air-stable, easy to handle, compatible with microwave conditions, and do not necessarily require irradiation to be active.
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID BASE COMPOSITION OF <i>PROTEUS</i> AND PROVIDENCE ORGANISMS (1962)

Falkow, Stanley (Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington D.C.), I. R. Ryman, and O. Washington. Deoxyribonucleic acid base composition of Proteus and Providence organisms. J. Bacteriol. 83:1318-1321. 1962.-Deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) from various species of Proteus and of Providence bacteria have been examined for their guanine + cytosine (GC) content. P. vulgaris, P. mirabilis, and P. rettgeri possess essentially identical mean GC contents of 39%, and Providence DNA has a GC content of 41.5%. In marked contrast, P. morganii DNA was found to contain 50% GC. The base composition of P. morganii is only slightly lower than those observed for representatives of the Escherichia, Shigella, and Salmonella groups. Aerobacter and Serratia differ significantly from the other members of the family by their relatively high GC content. Since a minimal requirement for genetic compatibility among different species appears to be similarity of their DNA base composition, it is suggested that P. morganii is distinct genetically from the other species of Proteus as well as Providence strains. The determination of the DNA base composition of microorganisms is important for its predictive information. This information should prove of considerable value in investigating genetic and taxonomic relationships among bacteria.
