Introduction to Flight Test Engineering (Introduction aux techniques des essais en vol) (2005)

Flight test is at the core of what organizations must do in order to validate the operation and systems on an aircraft. While the AGARDograph series 300 and 160 series deal with aspects of this testing, this volume pulls it all together as an introduction to the process required to do effective flight test engineering. This volume was originally published in 1995. Its utility has been proven in that many flight test organizations and universities have requested copies for their engineers and students. It was felt that re-issuing it in a new format designed for electronic publication would be valuable to the community. This second printing changes none of the text, but rather reformats it. All the original references to AGARD (instead of RTO) are left in place so that none of the flavor of the original publication is lost. This is the Introductory Volume to the Flight Test Techniques Series. It is a general introduction to the various activities and aspects of Flight Test Engineering that must be considered when planning, conducting, and reporting a flight test program. Its main intent is to provide a broad overview to the novice engineer or to other people who have a need to interface with specialists within the flight test community. The first two Sections provide some insight into the question of why flight test and give a short history of flight test engineering. Sections 3 through 10 deal with the preparation for flight testing. They provide guidance on the preliminary factors that must be considered; the composition of the test team; the logistic support requirements; the instrumentation and data processing requirements; the flight test plan; the associated preliminary ground tests; and last, but by no means least, discuss safety aspects. Sections 11 through 27 describe the various types of flight tests that are usually conducted during the development and certification of a new or modified aircraft type.
Inhibition of a Cell Surface Protease After Cisplatin Chemotherapy (1991)

The epithelial cells in squamous carcinoma and leukoplakia of the oral cavity possess the cell surface protease, guanidinobenzoatase (GB), in an active form. GB is closely similar to plasminogen activator, a protease associated with both transformed cells and tumour cells. The active centre of GB binds the fluorescent probe 9-aminoacridine (9-AA) enabling cells containing active GB to be visualised by fluorescent microscopy. It was observed that chemotherapy with cisplatin resulted in a marked decrease in cell surface GB activity and this decrease was due to the formation of an enzyme-inhibitor complex. One of the results of chemotherapy was shown to be the suppression of a cell surface protease which is known to be associated with migration and malignancy of cells in vivo.
Pathogenesis of a Virus-Induced Leukemia in Mice (1961)

Male BALB/c mice that received a cell-free extract from the spleens of mice with leukemia induced by a virus were compared with BALB/c mice of the same age and sex that received a cell-free extract from normal spleens. Untreated BALB/c mice were used as controls. Mice 6 weeks of age were chosen for the injections, since tissues from newborn mice are hard to handle, and a relatively low dose of virus was given to insure a gradual development of leukemia. No difference in the three groups could be detected until 8 weeks had elapsed, when many megakaryocytes containing granulocytes were observed in the bone marrow of the virus-injected mice. The next difference detected was a gradually increasing hyperplasia of the spleen in the virus-injected mice. A few mice showed a localized reticulum-cell hyperplasia in the lymph nodes. The most significant alterations appeared to be in the thymus, and, with one exception, it was in this organ that leukemia was first recognized in the treated mice. The thymus in one leukemic mouse did not contain malignant cells but showed a granulomatous reaction. A series of transplants made from the primary leukemias resulted in lymphocytic neoplasms with different biologic characteristics in regard to growth period, spread from the site of inoculation, and organ involvement. The transfer of tissue from hyperplastic spleens from mice with no morphologic evidence of leukemia reproduced the same sequence of preleukemic lesions that were observed after transfer of the cell-free extract. This study indicates that inoculation of the leukemia-inducing virus causes a derangement in certain reticular organs of mice which is conducive to the development of lymphocytic neoplasms. The virus described by Moloney may be acting like many other carcinogenic agents. Several incidental lesions appearing in experimental, control, and stock BALB/c mice are described.

1.3 μm Mode-Locked Picosecond Regenerative Amplifier with High Pulse Energy (2012)

A laser diode pumped 1.3 μm high energy picosecond regenerative amplifier is reported.The passively mode-locked oscillator as a seed source provides repetition rate of 65 MHz and power of 140 mW.An effective regenerative amplifier is designed.The regenerative amplifier is operated at 1 kHz and its pulse duration is shorter than 20 ps.Its output pulse energy is 1 mJ.Its pulse stability root mean square is less than 0.3%.The beam quality factor M2 is less than or equal to 1.1 after second harmonic generation to 671 nm,which shows its good beam profile.
A Novel Design of Multi‐Mechanoresponsive and Mechanically Strong Hydrogels (2017)

A newly developed polyacrylamide-co-methyl acrylate/spiropyran (SP) hydrogel crosslinked by SP mechanophore demonstrates multi-stimuli-responsive and mechanically strong properties. The hydrogels not only exhibit thermo-, photo-, and mechano-induced color changes, but also achieve super-strong mechanical properties (tensile stress of 1.45 MPa, tensile strain of ≈600%, and fracture energy of 7300 J m<sup>-2</sup> ). Due to a reversible structural transformation between spiropyran (a ring-close) and merocyanine (a ring-open) states, simple exposure of the hydrogels to white light can reverse color changes and restore mechanical properties. The new design approach for a new mechanoresponsive hydrogel is easily transformative to the development of other mechanophore-based hydrogels for sensing, imaging, and display applications.

Gene trap: a way to identify novel genes and unravel their biological function (2000)

The gene trap methodology is a powerful tool to characterize novel genes and analyze their importance in biological phenomena. It is based on the use of mouse embryonic stem cells and reporter vectors designed to randomly integrate into the genome, tagging an insertion site and generating a mutation. Theoretically, all the 100,000 genes present in the mouse genome could be tagged and functionally inactivated at the same time. Here we describe the basic concepts and perspectives of this methodology and show some results obtained by the gene trap approach used to study molecular cascades in basic cell biology and in developmental processes.
Improvement of AC-based Electrical Capacitance Tomography Hardware (2010)

Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is used to obtain the permittivity distribution of material, measuring capacitances between electrodes, placed around material. ECT is fast, non-invasive and low cost imaging system. A particular difficulty with capacitance measurement of an ECT hardware is to measure small capacitance changes between electrodes of sensors having large stray and standing capacitances. This paper presents an improved design of AC-based ECT hardware. Presented hardware is more stable, flexible, effective and suitable for electrical conductance tomography also. New concepts for hardware design and measurement algorithm are presented and proved by simulation.
Combining Dense Structure from Motion and Visual SLAM in a Behavior-Based Robot Control Architecture (2010)

In this paper, we present a control architecture for an intelligent outdoor mobile robot. This enables the robot to navigate in a complex, natural outdoor environment, relying on only a single on-board camera as sensory input. This is achieved through a twofold analysis of the visual data stream: a dense structure from motion algorithm calculates a depth map of the environment and a visual simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm builds a map of the surroundings using image features. This information enables a behavior-based robot motion and path planner to navigate the robot through the environment. In this paper, we show the theoretical aspects of setting up this architecture.
Comparison of Celox-A, ChitoFlex, WoundStat, and Combat Gauze Hemostatic Agents Versus Standard Gauze Dressing in Control of Hemorrhage in a Swine Model of Penetrating Trauma (2011)

In this swine model of uncontrolled penetrating hemorrhage, SG dressing performed similarly to the hemostatic agents tested. This supports the concept that proper wound packing and pressure may be more important than the use of a hemostatic agent in small penetrating wounds with severe vascular trauma.
Abortion and self-defense. (1984)

Davis examines a view held in common by those she classifies as "restrictives," "moderates," and "permissives," that the right of self-defense justifies a pregnant woman's seeking an abortion when her life is at risk. While maintaining that abortion to preserve a woman's life is morally defensible, she argues that the doctrine of self-defense has been misapplied because the entitlement to self-defense has been misunderstood, and because the woman-fetus relationship precludes regarding the problem of abortion as simply a balancing of rights. She concludes that the defense of therapeutic abortion is neither straightforward nor unproblematic.
Smads as therapeutic targets for chronic kidney disease (2012)

Renal fibrosis is a hallmark of chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is generally thought that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is a key mediator of fibrosis and mediates renal scarring positively by Smad2 and Smad3, but negatively by Smad7. Our recent studies found that in CKD, TGF-β1 is not a sole molecule to activate Smads. Many mediators such as angiotensin II and advanced glycation end products can also activate Smads via both TGF-β-dependent and independent mechanisms. In addition, Smads can interact with other signaling pathways, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) pathways, to regulate renal inflammation and fibrosis. In CKD, Smad2 and Smad3 are highly activated, while Smad7 is reduced or lost. In the context of fibrosis, Smad3 is pathogenic and mediates renal fibrosis by upregulating miR-21 and miR-192, but down-regulating miR-29 and miR-200 families. By contrast, Smad2 and Smad7 are protective. Overexpression of Smad7 inhibits both Smad3-mediated renal fibrosis and NF-κB-driven renal inflammation. Interestingly, Smad4 has diverse roles in renal fibrosis and inflammation. The complexity and distinct roles of individual Smads in CKD suggest that treatment of CKD should aim to correct the imbalance of Smad signaling or target the Smad3-dependent genes related to fibrosis, rather than to block the general effect of TGF-β1. Thus, treatment of CKD by overexpression of Smad7 or targeting Smad3-dependent miRNAs such as downregulation of miR-21 or overexpression of miR-29 may represent novel therapeutic strategies for CKD.

Assessing the influence of the vertical epitaxial layer design on the lateral beam quality of high-power broad area diode lasers (2016)

GaAs-based high-power broad-area diode lasers deliver optical output powers <i>P</i><sub>opt</sub> > 10W with efficiency > 60%. However, their application is limited due to poor in-plane beam parameter product <i>BPP</i><sub>lat</sub>=0.25×Θ<sub>95%</sub>×<i>w</i><sub>95%</sub> (Θ<sub>95%</sub> and <i>w</i><sub>95%</sub> are emission angle and aperture, 95% power content). We present experimental investigations on λ = 9xx nm broad area lasers that aim to identify regulating factors of the <i>BPP<sub>lat</sub></i> connected to the epitaxial layer design. First, we assess the thermal lens of vertical designs with varying asymmetry, using thermal camera images to determine its strength. Under study are an extreme-double-asymmetric (EDAS) vertical structure and a reference (i.e. more symmetric) design. The lateral thermal profiles clearly show that <i>BPP<sub>lat</sub></i> increase is correlated to the bowing of the thermal lens. The latter is derived out of a quadratic temperature fit in the active region beneath the current injection of the laser device and depends on the details of the epitaxial layers. Second, we test the benefit of low modal gain factor <i>Γg<sub>0</sub></i>, predicted to improve <i>BPP<sub>lat</sub></i> via a suppression of filamentation. EDAS-based lasers with single quantum well (SQW) and double quantum well (DQW) active regions were compared, with 2.5x reduced <i>Γg<sub>0</sub></i>, for 2.2x reduced filament gain. However, no difference is seen in measured <i>BPP</i><sub>lat</sub>, giving evidence that filamentary processes are no longer a limit. In contrast, devices with lower <i>Γg<sub>0</sub></i> demonstrate an up to twofold reduced near field modulation depth, potentially enabling higher facet loads and increased device facet reliability, when operated near to the COD limit.
Combined effect of <i>n</i>-3 fatty acids and phytosterol esters on alleviating hepatic steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease subjects: a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial (2020)

The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effect of n-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA, at an EPA:DHA ratio of 150:500) and phytosterol esters (PS) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. We conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Ninety-six NAFLD subjects were randomly assigned to the following groups: the PS group (receiving 3·3 g/d PS); the FO group (receiving 450 mg EPA + 1500 mg DHA/d); the PS + FO combination group (receiving 3·3 g/d PS and 450 mg EPA + 1500 mg DHA/d) and the PO group (a placebo group). The baseline clinical characteristics of the four groups were similar. The primary outcome was liver:spleen attenuation ratio (L:S ratio). The percentage increase in liver-spleen attenuation (≤1) in the PS + FO group was 36 % (P = 0·083), higher than those in the other three groups (PS group, 11 %, P = 0·519; FO group, 18 %, P = 0·071; PO group, 15 %, P = 0·436). Compared with baseline, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) was significantly decreased in the three study groups at the end of the trial (PS, P = 0·000; FO, P = 0·002; PS + FO, P = 0·001) and TNF-α was significantly decreased in the FO group (P = 0·036), PS + FO group (P = 0·005) and PO group (P = 0·032) at the end of the intervention. Notably, TGF-β was reduced significantly more in the PS + FO group than in the PO group (P = 0·032). The TAG and total cholesterol levels of the PS + FO group were reduced by 11·57 and 9·55 %, respectively. In conclusion, co-supplementation of PS and EPA + DHA could increase the effectiveness of treatment for hepatic steatosis.
Recent Discoveries of Tarentine Terra-Cottas (1886)

There are few sites in the Hellenic World that in recent years have been so prolific of discoveries as that of Tarentum. The scheme so earnestly taken up by the Italian Government for converting the half-forgotten nest of fishermen and olive proprietors into a great Mediterranean arsenal, bids fair to restore Taranto to some measure at least of the importance which her unique position secured to her in ancient days. The mediæval citys hut up within the limits of its peninsular site, the Akropolis of the ancient Tarentum, blocking the passage from the inner to the outer sea, is again enlarging its borders, and a new quarter—the Borgo Nuovo—is rising on the mainland to the east where lay the Agora of the great Doric city. The inner sea—the Mar Piccolo —the Limên of Tarentum, at present laid out in gardens for the ‘sea-fruit’ which supplies the Naples market, is already being deepened in its south-eastern bay to form a secure and unassailable harbour, and the leviathans of the new Italian navy will henceforth anchor in the same historic port whence Hannibal transferred the Tarentine galleys adry to the outer sea.
Stein Point Markov Chain Monte Carlo (2019)

An important task in machine learning and statistics is the approximation of a probability measure by an empirical measure supported on a discrete point set. Stein Points are a class of algorithms for this task, which proceed by sequentially minimising a Stein discrepancy between the empirical measure and the target and, hence, require the solution of a non-convex optimisation problem to obtain each new point. This paper removes the need to solve this optimisation problem by, instead, selecting each new point based on a Markov chain sample path. This significantly reduces the computational cost of Stein Points and leads to a suite of algorithms that are straightforward to implement. The new algorithms are illustrated on a set of challenging Bayesian inference problems, and rigorous theoretical guarantees of consistency are established.

Parallel processing on traditional serial programs by huge node data flow (2002)

This paper introduces an algorithm that can generate huge node data flow by compiling existing programs. The purpose of this algorithm is to improve the speed of parallel processing and utilize the large amount of existing program resources. In addition, this idea of huge node data flow algorithm can also be used in distributed processing and multi-thread processing.
Romancing the past (2017)

In the 'Literary Retrospection' which opens Romance Readers and Romance Writers Sarah Green contends that, as a 'genius', Walter Scott should be 'superior to the dull business of comparing and arranging', otherwise known as 'Editorship'. The difficulty is exacerbated because, like other female writers of historical fiction, Jane Porter, with her increasingly elaborate prefaces, and Green, with her footnotes, both attempt to police the ideas of national heroism and courtly behaviour. For the stadial historians of the mid-to-late eighteenth century, chivalry and its representative genre, romance, formed a vital link between modern manners and those of the past. While Clara Reeve wishes to create a conservative national romance by deploying history, in her 'Literary Retrospection' Green wants to prevent the genre's appropriation by radicalism. The modern editor of historical fiction must bear in mind the way in which the tension between the idealism of romance and the supposed materiality of history was sharpened by political unease.

Methods of temperature stabilization of light-emitting diode radiation (1994)

Some problems of temperature stabilization of light-emitting diode (LED) radiation have been discussed in the paper. Temperature–electrical characteristics of LED have been discussed and a way has been suggested to use them for the improvement of techniques for the temperature stabilization of their radiation power. There exists a possibility of developing one common monolithic LED-compensation system, and at the same time, a thermally compensated electroluminescence diode. The compensation system presented in the paper, in which an LED is a source of radiation and a temperature sensor, is not complicated and is practical in measurements where thermal conditions undergo fast changes. The presented system for the thermal stabilization can be adapted for impulse work, which allows for a considerable increase of LED radiation power. It has been proved in the paper that LED is an original source of radiation which can be applied to a construction of photometers of different kinds, working in real field conditions.
