[A case of intratubular germ cell tumor giving rise to seminoma in a subfertile man]. (2001)

A 34-year-old man visited our hospital with the complaint of right scrotal swelling. Right high orchiectomy was performed under the diagnosis of testicular tumor. Pathological examination was seminoma, pT2pN0pM0 and 3 courses of chemotherapy (cisplatin, vinblastine, bleomycin) were performed. The patient had undergone testicular biopsy for infertility at another hospital 6 years before this visit. Re-examination of the biopsy specimen revealed a intratubular germ cell tumor. No evidence of recurrence or metastasis was found 2 years after surgery.
The Potent lgG4-lnducing Antigen in Banana Is a Mannose-Binding Lectin, <i>BanLec-</i><i>I</i> (1992)

IgG4 antibodies to banana were found to occur far more frequently than expected. The most important antigen involved proved to be a lectin, BanLec-I. Because of the lectin nature of the antigen, it was important to establish the antibody nature of the lectin-IgG4 interaction and to exclude an interaction between the sugar-binding site of the lectin and glycosidic chains on IgG4. Three arguments in support of immune binding are: (1) the binding of BanLec-I to IgG4 is mannoside resistant, whereas the binding to all other glycoproteins tested is mannoside inhibitable; (2) only a minor fraction of the IgG4 in serum and none of five IgG4 myelomas tested was bound, and (3) the lectin binds to the Fab fragment of the IgG4 molecule. A curious finding was that in the presence of high-molecular-weight glycoproteins the interaction between IgG4 and BanLec-I was enhanced by alpha-methyl mannoside. The probable explanation of this phenomenon is that complexes of the lectin with high-molecular-weight glycoproteins by sterical interference inhibit the interaction with human IgG4 antibodies (or with rabbit antibodies to the lectin). This inhibition is prevented in the presence of alpha-methyl mannoside. These results support the earlier suggestion that some lectins are particularly prone to induce an immune response upon oral feeding. This banana lectin might be a potentially useful carrier protein for oral antihapten immunization in humans.
Automatic thread painting generation (2016)

ThreadTone is an NPR representation of an input image by half-toning using threads on a circle. Current approaches to create ThreadTone paintings greedily draw the chords on the circle. We introduce the concept of chord space, and design a new algorithm to improve the quality of the thread painting. We use an optimization process that estimates the fitness of every chord in the chord space, and an error-diffusion based sampling process that selects a moderate number of chords to produce the output painting. We used an image similarity measure to evaluate the quality of our thread painting and also conducted a user study. Our approach can produce high quality results on portraits, sketches as well as cartoon pictures.
Real-time visualization using a 2D/3D imaging MMWave radar (2004)

This paper describes a novel approach to the real-time visualization of 3D imagery obtained from a 3D millimeter wave radar. The radar system uses two scanning beams to provide all weather 3D distance measurements of objects appearing on the ground. This information is displayed using our high-end 3D visualization engine capable of delivering models of up to 100,000 polygons with 30 frames per second. The resulting 3D models can then be viewed from any angle and subsequently processed to integrate match them against 3D model data stored in a synthetic database. The resulting Synthetic Radar Vision System will provide a truly novel way to obtained all weather 3D images. The paper will focus on the real-time imaging and display aspects of our solution, and will discuss technical details of the radar design itself. Engineering challenges will be outlined in the context of a practical application.
Ultrasound Evaluation of the Uterine Scar After Cesarean Delivery (2007)

The process of uterine scar remodeling can be successfully monitored by ultrasonography. Uterine scar thickness diminishes progressively after both one- or two-layer closure but does not vary with mode of hysterotomy closure. The uterine scar thickness remains increased even at 6 weeks post partum, suggesting that the process of uterine scar remodeling extends beyond the traditional postpartum period.

Nanocomposite materials offer higher conductivity and flexibility [conducting polymers] (2002)

Until recently, all conductive polymers have fallen into one of the following two categories: intrinsically conductive polymers that exhibit poor processibility, low electrical conductivity, and thermal and chemical instability; and extrinsically (or particle filled) conductive polymers that exhibit high densities and poor flexibility. This paper describes the mechanical and electrical characteristics of a new type of conductive polymer made with conductive silver nanoparticle fillers. The use of nanoparticle fillers allows the material to attain the same level of conductivity exhibited by traditional filled polymers at significantly lower particle loading. This results in a conductive polymer that combines the high conductivity and stability of a filled polymer with the flexibility and low density of an intrinsically conductive polymer.

The influence of bubbles on sea surface backscatter measurements (1987)

The results from a recent sea surface acoustic scattering experiment, which was conducted in the North Sea, are presented with accompanying sea surface roughness parameters and subsurface bubble information. The acoustic data were obtained utilizing a high-resolution (narrow beamwidth) pulsed parametric sonar transmitter and conventional receiver. Scattering strength values were obtained as functions of frequency (3–18 kHz) for wind speeds from 2–45 knots. It appears that the backscattering strength at 30° grazing angle is caused by the high-frequency wavenumber spectrum at low wind speeds and by subsurface bubbles at high wind speeds. The backscattering strength shows strong fluctuations in the intermediate region caused by both scattering mechanisms.
Effects of NanoTag Markers in Palm Methyl Esters and Their Blends with Petroleum Diesel (2010)

Abstract Given the critical need to address smuggling and unauthorised usage of subsidised diesel, the Malaysia Government introduced fuel marking for subsidised diesel under the NanoTag Program in April 2006. NanoTag markers mixture consists of VisioTag (dye) and NanoTag (immunoassay marker) were spiked into palm methyl esters (PME) and its diesel blends. The blending ratio tested was 5, 10 and 20% (by volume) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in diesel fuel. Both NanoTag and VisioTag markers were found to be stable in PME and blended fuel after 9 months of storage. The concentration of the NanoTag marker (MTK‐021) remains consistent as determined by HPLC–UV detector. No colour change or discolouration was observed for the VisioTag marker. Other important fuel quality parameters such as acid value, oxidative stability, and moisture content of the samples were studied. The results showed that NanoTag markers pose no significant measurable effects on blended PME and diesel fuel quality upon storage up to B20.
Estimation of Analog/RF Parametric Test Metrics Based on a Multivariate Extreme Value Model (2019)

Analog/RF built-in test (BIT) techniques are essential for reducing the very high costs of specification-based tests and for high-safety applications. The adoption of a BIT technique needs to be decided at the design stage, and this can be facilitated by estimating the test quality in terms of errors such as test escapes (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">E</sub> ) and yield loss (Y <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</sub> ). Test quality estimation at the design stage has been traditionally very difficult for analog/RF circuits due to the lack of fault models that properly cover parametric faulty behavior. In recent years, statistical simulation has been considered in combination with learning techniques for the estimation of parametric test metrics. Extreme value theory (EVT) has provided a rigorous tool for the computation of parametric test metrics. However, test metrics estimation has been limited to the use of a univariate model. In this paper, we extend this approach by using a multivariate extreme value model. We illustrate this for the evaluation of an RF LNA BIT technique using a bivariate model.
A semiconductor device for surface-plasmon generation (2010)

We demonstrate a compact semiconductor laser device for generation and launching of surface plasmon into a passive waveguide at room temperature. Surface-plasmons are generated electrically at a single frequency using a distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser in the mid-infrared wavelengths, they are then launched in a passive metal strip and detected using an aperture-less near field scanning optical microscope.
Restructuring Proteomics Through Verification (2010)

Proteomics technologies have revolutionized cell biology and biochemistry by providing powerful new tools to characterize complex proteomes, multiprotein complexes and post-translational modifications. Although proteomics technologies could address important problems in clinical and translational cancer research, attempts to use proteomics approaches to discover cancer biomarkers in biofluids and tissues have been largely unsuccessful and have given rise to considerable skepticism. The National Cancer Institute has taken a leading role in facilitating the translation of proteomics from research to clinical application, through its Clinical Proteomic Technologies for Cancer. This article highlights the building of a more reliable and efficient protein biomarker development pipeline that incorporates three steps: discovery, verification and qualification. In addition, we discuss the merits of multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry, a multiplex targeted proteomics platform, which has emerged as a potentially promising, high-throughput protein biomarker measurements technology for preclinical 'verification'.

Magnetron-sputtered nanolaminate and superlattice coatings (2006)

Thin film superlattice materials can exhibit physical, optical and mechanical properties very
different and superior to those of single layer counterparts. In the past fifteen years, hard coating,
optical and electrical device technologies have advanced beyond the use of single layer coatings
with the development of nanoscale compositionally modulated coatings, or superlattices and
nanocomposites. A typical superlattice consists of hundreds to thousands of nm-scale layers with
alternating compositions and/or crystalline phases. It is possible to engineer the electrical and
mechanical properties by choice of layer thicknesses and compositions. Typical layer thicknesses
are between 2 and 100 nm. We report of three types of superlattice coatings: (1) AlN/Si3N4 optical
superlattice for abrasion protection of ZnS IR windows, (2) Al/Cu structural superlattices and (3)
advanced thermoelectric superlattices. All superlattice coatings were deposited by DC and RF
reactive magnetron sputtering. The AlN/Si3N4 superlattice had layer thicknesses of 2 nm and
exhibited a nanohardness of 35 GPa. The Al/Cu superlattice had layer thicknesses of 1.5 nm and a
hardness near 6.5 GPa and is being developed for lightweight optics for space applications. The
thermoelectric superlattice demonstrated a figure of merit (ZT) ~ 1.5 and is being developed for
power generation from waste heat sources.
"Direct" and total bilirubin tests: contemporary problems. (1993)

In eight unique challenges mailed by The College of American Pathologists Comprehensive Chemistry Survey to participating laboratories within 3 years, results for direct-reacting bilirubin (DBIL) were highly variable among the 12 largest peer groups, and most of the results differed greatly from the values obtained by a referred method. Peer-group mean values for total bilirubin (TBIL) were in much better agreement with each other and with those obtained by the Reference Method for TBIL. From a review of the information on the assay of DBIL provided to us by the manufacturers, we conclude that among the major causes of the large variability and bias in DBIL assays are problems with calibration, lack of a serum blank measurement, inadequate concentrations of HCl in the reaction mixture, inappropriate use of bichromatic correction methods, and possibly the use of wetting agents or surfactants in the reagent. Within-group SDs were small and generally acceptable. The among-peer-group variability in DBIL values is attributable to bias, not imprecision. We recommend several simple changes that could improve the accuracy of DBIL determinations in clinical laboratories.
Recurrent SOLAR algorithm (1996)

Abstract This paper proposes the Recurrent SOLAR (Supervised One‐shot Learning Algorithm for Real number inputs) algorithm, that can complete learning by a single presentation of analog time series data. The most remarkable feature of the Recurrent SOLAR is the one‐shot learning, which has been difficult in the past modes, and which can be completed with a high speed by a single presentation of the time‐series input data composed of real numbers. The basic idea of the Recurrent SOLAR is the same as in the context model. The time is considered as discrete, and the connection weight of the feedback loop from the output unit or the hidden unit to the state units is fixed. Consequently, the recurrent network can be considered as a feed‐forward network. The backpropagation algorithm is used in the context model, while the SOLAR algorithm is applied to the Recurrent SOLAR, which is the one‐shot learning algorithm based on the pattern recognition theory. By the use of the SOLAR algorithm, the Recurrent SOLAR can learn the analog time‐series data by a single presentation without falling in a local minimum even for large‐scale data. In other words, it is a learning algorithm that is suited to an environment where high speed is required in the learning.
Dielectric relaxation of LC-thermotropic poly(ester imide)s (1997)

Two different series of poly(ester imide)s, which are distinguished from each other in the orientation of the ester linkages and show well-differentiated thermotropic behavior, are investigated by means of model calculations and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. Model calculations show that the orientation of the ester linkages has a strong influence on the rotational energy barriers. The dielectric relaxation spectra of both series shows three relaxation regions in the temperature range between 100 and 400 K that have been identified as the α-, β- and γ-relaxation processes. A difference of about two orders of magnitude between the characteristic rates of the γ-relaxation is the main feature observed in the dielectric response. However, the β-relaxation shows very similar behavior for both series. The differences in the relaxation behavior in the solid state are interpreted on the basis of the rotational barriers deduced from the model calculation results. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
An alternate form of Ku80 is required for DNA end-binding activity in mammalian mitochondria (2000)

Mammalian mitochondrial DNA end-binding activity is nearly indistinguishable from that of nuclear Ku. This observation led to the hypothesis that mitochondrial DNA end-binding activity is in part dependent upon Ku80 gene expression. To test this hypothesis, we assayed for Ku activity in mitochondrial extracts prepared from the xrs-5 hamster cell line that lacks Ku80 mRNA expression. Mitochondrial protein extracts prepared from this cell line lacked the DNA end-binding activity found in similar extracts prepared from wild-type cells. Azacytidine-reverted xrs-5 cells that acquired nuclear DNA end-binding activity also acquired mitochondrial DNA end-binding activity. Western blot analysis of human mitochondrial protein extracts using a monoclonal antibody specific for an N-terminal epitope of Ku80 identified a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 68 kDa. This mitochondrial protein was not detected by a monoclonal antibody specific for an epitope at the C-terminal end of Ku80. Consistently, while both the N- and C-terminal Ku80 monoclonal antibodies supershifted the nuclear DNA end-binding complex on an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, only the N-terminal monoclonal antibody supershifted the mitochondrial DNA end-binding complex. To confirm that the 68 kDa Ku protein was not a consequence of nuclear protein contamination of mitochondrial preparations, highly purified intact nuclei and mitochondria were treated with proteinase K which traverses the pores of intact nuclei but gains limited access into intact mitochondria. Ku80 in purified intact nuclei was sensitive to treatment with this protease, while the 68 kDa Ku protein characteristic of purified intact mitochondria was resistant. Further, immunocytochemical analysis revealed the co-localization of the N-terminal specific Ku80 monoclonal antibody with a mitochondrial-targeted green fluorescence protein. Mitochondrial localization of the C-terminal Ku80 monoclonal antibody was not observed. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that a C-terminally truncated form of Ku80 is localized in mammalian mitochondria where it functions in a DNA end-binding activity.
Two improved chorded windings for 3:1 pole-changing (1958)

The paper describes two further and improved 3:1 pole-changing windings which both have only nine control leads, and in which a 60° spread has been used, instead of the 120° spread which was used in a machine previously described. A particular feature of these windings is that the coil pitch is critical, and can have only one value. Full-pitched coils cause very bad crawling effects.
Characterization of an 18-kilodalton Brucella cytoplasmic protein which appears to be a serological marker of active infection of both human and bovine brucellosis (1993)

Some anticytoplasmic protein monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) from mice immunized by infection with Brucella ovis cells have been obtained. One of these MAbs, BI24, was used to purify by immunoaffinity a protein with a pI of 5.6 and a molecular mass of 18 kDa. This protein was present in all of the rough and smooth Brucella species studied, but it could not be detected in Yersinia enterocolitica 09. Three internal peptides of this protein were partially sequenced; no homology with other bacterial proteins was found. The immunogenicity of the 18-kDa protein was studied with both human and bovine sera by a capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system with MAb BI24.
Downlink Rate Distribution in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks under\n Generalized Cell Selection (2013)

Considering both small-scale fading and long-term shadowing, we characterize\nthe downlink rate distribution at a typical user equipment (UE) in a\nheterogeneous cellular network (HetNet), where shadowing, following any general\ndistribution, impacts cell selection while fading does not. Prior work either\nignores the impact of channel randomness on cell selection or lumps all the\nsources of randomness into a single variable, with cell selection based on the\ninstantaneous signal strength, which is unrealistic. As an application of the\nresults, we study the impact of shadowing on load balancing in terms of the\noptimal per-tier selection bias needed for rate maximization.\n
