The contribution of biotechnology to root-knot nematode control in tomato plants (2007)

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) represent a particularly serious pest for tomato crops. These pathogens have evolved a sophis-ticated interrelationship with the roots of their host where they induce a specific type of nurse cell system, classified as multinucleate giant cells. The structural and physiological transformation of the initial cell to become the nematode feeding site is paralleled by modifications in plant gene expression. The recent characterisation of several parasitism genes specifically expressed within oesophageal gland cells of root-knot nematodes suggests that their products can influence the host cellular metabolism. In plants with genetic disease resistance, these secreted molecules might serve as virulence factors for successful parasitism. The Mi gene, which confers resistance to several species of root-knot nematodes, is present in many modern tomato cultivars. Resistance mediated by Mi is associated with localized necrosis of host tissue at the nematode feeding site and occurs very early after nematode infection. However, how Mi mediates recog-nition of and resistance to root-knot nematodes is largely unknown. In parallel with the use of such natural resistance, several biotechnolo-gical strategies have been experienced to improve tomato resistance. They are mainly based on the over-expression of anti-nematode and/or anti-giant cell genes placed under the control of specific promoters. Here, we review the recent progress in determining the role of signal transduction pathway(s) in tomato responses during both susceptible and resistant interactions, and how such knowledge should
The Intriguing Superconductivity of Strontium Ruthenate (2001)

Structurally, this metal oxide resembles the high-Tc cuprates, but its superconductivity is more like the superfluidity of helium-3.
Sur la presence d’Aselles hypoges aux Pays—Bas: Proasellus cavaticus et Proasellus hermallensis (Crustacea, Isopoda, Asellota) (1974)

Les Asellides signalés à ce jour aux Pays-Bas appartenaient aux deux espèces épigées communes en Europe, Asellus aquaticus et Proasellus meridianus. Aucun Aselle souterrain n’y était connu. A la suite de recherches de la faune interstitielle par l’intermédiaire de puits alimentés par les nappes phréatiques, M. le Prof. Dr. J.H. Stock et ses collaborateurs mirent en évidence dans plusieurs localités de la province du Limbourg deux espèces d’Aselles anophtalmes et dépigmentés: Proasellus cavaticus et Proasellus hermallensis. La première de ces deux formes hypogées vit dans les eaux karstiques en Belgique, mais semble capable d’envahir également, ici, les eaux phréatiques; la seconde colonise essentiellement les nappes alluviales du bassin de la Meuse.
The application of an improved zero-crossing-detection method in ultrasonic measurement (2002)

The ultrasonic pulse-echo detection is a popular method in the measurement of static physiological parameters, but there are some disadvantages in the conventional technology. To overcome those disadvantages, in this paper, we have designed a new circuit for the improvement of zero-crossing-detection.

Dispersion and Performance Properties of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) Based Polymer Composites: A Review (2012)

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based polymer composites have variety of engineering applications (electromagnetic shielding, antistatic coatings, high-strength low-density corrosion-resistant components, lightweight energy storage and many more); due to their excellent mechanical, electrical, chemical, magnetic, etc. properties. In the polymer nanocomposites CNTs are dispersed in the polymeric matrix. However the dispersion may be uniform or may not be uniform. The biggest challenge is the effective dispersion of individual CNTs in the polymer matrices, as CNTs tends to form clusters and bundles due to strong van der Waals’ forces of attraction. The aggregated structure continue until physical (Mechanical) or chemical modification (Encapsulation/surface modification) of CNTs. Few modification methods such as vigorous mixing of the polymers damages CNTs structure, and may hinder their properties. But these problems can be overcome by mechanical or chemical modification of CNTs surfaces. In the chemical modification, the modifier or the long tail surfactant may encapsulate and/or partially wrap the CNTs surfaces. In this review, recent work on CNTs based polymer nanocomposite is carried out with few modifiers/encapsulating agents. Incorporation of CNTs in polymer matrix changes the performance properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation at break, toughness, Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), etc. The phase morphology of the composite materials throws light on the properties of CNTs based polymer nanocomposite. Moreover phase morphology may be directly correlated with the behavior of the material, hence reviewed here through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore review is also carried out on the non-isothermal crystallization (DSC) and rheology of CNTs polymer nanocomposite.
Texture Characteristics and Anisotropic Superplasticity of AZ61 Magnesium Alloy (2003)

The texture evolution and mechanical anisotropy in an extruded AZ61 Mg alloy are examined. After warm extrusion, the alloy exhibits a refined grain structure and a strong basal texture. The tensile behaviors are examined in extruded specimens with the loading axis oriented at 0°, 45° and 90° to the extrusion direction. The 45° specimens exhibit lower yield stresses and higher ductility. The possible reasons for the mechanical anisotropy based on the Schmid factor calculations are analyzed.
A Study on the Specialized Mix Design of Mine Sprayed Concrete Using Industrial Byproducts (2013)

본 연구에서는 광산 스프레이 콘크리트에 대한 연구개발의 일환으로 산업부산물을 구조재료인 시멘트에 혼입하여 산업부산물의 재활용 극대화 방안을 제시하였다. 또한 이를 통해 안정성과 경제성을 모두 만족할 수 있는 친환경적인 광산 스프레이 콘크리트의 배합비를 도출하고 평가하였다. 연구 결과 광물성 혼화재를 사용한 콘크리트 강도는 증가하였으며, 현장시험에서도 양호한 결과가 도출되었다. 그러므로 산업부산물을 이용한 광산 스프레이 콘크리트는 향후 현장적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. In this study, it was developed eco-friendly mix design of mine sprayed concrete, which satisfies both the stability and economics by mixing the industrial in cement, for development of the mine sprayed concrete and recycling of industrial. From this research, it is found that mixing of mineral admixture is effective on strength enhancement. Also, it is considered that designed mixing ratio of sprayed concrete using industrial byproducts should be applied to the field through field test.
Atrophin-1-interacting Protein 4/Human Itch Is a Ubiquitin E3 Ligase for Human Enhancer of Filamentation 1 in Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling Pathways (2004)

Atrophin-1-interacting protein 4 (AIP4) is the human homolog of the mouse Itch protein (hItch), an E3 ligase for Notch and JunB. Human enhancer of filamentation 1 (HEF1) has been implicated in signaling pathways such as those mediated by integrin, T cell receptor, and B cell receptor and functions as a multidomain docking protein. Recent studies suggest that HEF1 is also involved in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathways, by interacting with Smad3, a key signal transducer downstream of the TGF-beta type I receptor. The interaction of Smad3 with HEF1 induces HEF1 proteasomal degradation, which was further enhanced by TGF-beta stimulation. The detailed molecular mechanisms of HEF1 degradation regulated by Smad3 were poorly understood. Here we report our studies that demonstrate the function of AIP4 as an ubiquitin E3 ligase for HEF1. AIP4 forms a complex with both Smad3 and HEF1 through its WW domains in a TGF-beta-independent manner and regulates HEF1 ubiquitination and degradation, which can be enhanced by TGF-beta stimulation. These findings reveal a new mechanism for Smad3-regulated proteasomal degradation events and also broaden the network of cross-talk between the TGF-beta signaling pathway and those involving HEF1 and AIP4.
Overcoming roadblocks to effectiveness: Incorporating management of performance barriers into models of work group effectiveness. (1999)

This study investigated how work groups manage performance barriers in their immediate environment to achieve effectiveness. Relationships were tested using data collected from 473 group members, 88 foremen, and 21 managers pertaining to 88 maintenance and construction road crews in a state department of transportation. Performance constraints were found to have a direct negative relationship with performance. Through problem-management strategies, crews were able to minimize these effects both directly and indirectly by maintaining crew cohesion under more frequent and severe performance problems. In turn, self-management, leadership, and teamwork processes were found to be related to crew use of problem-management actions and strategies. Areas for future research and research designs that can allow for capturing the dynamic and reciprocal nature of this relationship are suggested.
A Facile Purification Procedure of Phospholipase D from Cabbage and its Characterization (1992)

Phospholipase D (PLD), an enzyme predestined for the preparation of new phospholipids, was isolated from cabbage and purified in a highly efficient way by using a combination of hydrophobic chromatography and a specific calcium effect. In the presence of calcium ions (50mM), PLD is bound from the crude enzyme solution to Octyl-Sepharose and subsequently selectively eluted by removing the calcium ions. The obtained enzyme is electrophoretically pure (95%), its molecular mass and isoelectric point were determined to be 87,000 Da and 4.7, respectively. The purified enzyme was kinetically characterized by use of mixed phosphatidylcholine-SDS micelles as well as the short-chain lecithins 1,2-dihexanoyl- and 1,2-diheptanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine as substrates. A hyperbolic upsilon/[S]-characteristic was obtained for the mixed micellar system, whereas the upsilon/[S] curves of the short-chain lecithins reflect the dependence of velocity on the physical state of the substrate. A small velocity increase was observed up to a critical substrate concentration near the critical micelle concentration, from where the velocity increases hyperbolically.
Experiences in using WiFi for rural internet in India (2007)

Access to communication can play a pivotal role in the socio-economic development of rural regions in the third world. For affordability, the choice of technology to achieve this is a significant aspect. We have chosen IEEE 802.11 as a cost-effective technology to provide rural connectivity in the context of two projects in India: digital Gangetic plains (DGP) and Ashwini. This article presents our experiences with these two projects and discusses five important aspects in the use of WiFi for rural connectivity: network planning and deployment, network protocols, network management and operations, power savings, and applications and services
Effects of d-alpha-tocopherol supplementation on experimentally induced primate atherosclerosis. (1992)

Prevention and regression of induced atherosclerosis by d-alpha-tocopherol was investigated in 24 male M. fascicularis. One group received a basal diet, while three others consumed an atherogenic diet. Two of the latter groups also received tocopherol, one at the onset of the study (prevention) and the other after atherosclerosis was established by ultrasound evaluation (regression). Atherosclerosis was monitored over a 36-month period by duplex ultrasound imaging of the common carotid arteries. At termination, 24 arterial sites were examined for histopathology. In those animals receiving an atherogenic diet, mean percent ultrasound stenosis at 36 months posttreatment was lower in the tocopherol-supplemented groups (61 and 18%) than in the unsupplemented group (87%). Plasma tocopherol concentration was negatively correlated with percent ultrasound stenosis (p less than 0.002). Percent stenosis in the regression group decreased from 33 to 8% (p less than 0.05) 8 months after tocopherol supplementation. Although not consistently significant, histopathological changes were greater in untreated compared to treated animals. These results, if confirmed, indicate that d-alpha-tocopherol may be prophylactically and therapeutically effective in atherosclerosis.

H∞-controller design for binary and ternary distillation processes (1993)

Reports on experiences with the application of H∞-controller H∞-design methods to distillation processes. For the processes considered, methods have proven to be efficient and easy-to-use design tools. This assertation is substantiated by comparing H∞ methods to a number of multivariable design techniques that are based on classical control.
Introduction to VHDL-AMS. 1. Structural and discrete time concepts (2002)

This paper provides an introduction to VHDL and its application to control system problems. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of VHDL-93 and the impact of discrete time and unidirectional flow. By adapting control systems problems to the discrete time constraints of VHDL, considerable simulation speed advantage is realized over the more complete solution of simultaneous equations possible with VHDL-AMS. The basic structure of VHDL is explored, and several examples are included to illustrate critical points. Finally, the modifications needed to VHDL to accommodate the more general needs of analog electronic and other systems are briefly introduced (VHDL-AMS).
Mutation analysis of the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene using heteroduplex analysis with synthetic DNA constructs (1994)

Using heteroduplex analysis generated with synthetic PCR-amplifiable DNA we have screened the PKU populations of southwest England and Wales, western Scotland, and southeast and central England for mutations in exons 3, 7 and 12 of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. The technique characterized three mutations in exon 12, two in exon 3 and five in exon 7. Altogether over 370 PKU chromosomes were screened. In all geographical regions exon 12 mutations (R408W, IVS12nt1g- > a and Y414C) accounted for about 40% of mutant chromosomes. Exon 3 mutations (principally I65T) were found on between 9 and 12% of mutant alleles and exon 7 mutations accounted for a further 5-7%. Heteroduplex analysis is rapid, simple and safe and three constructs covering three exons can identify between 55 and 60% of mutations in various PKU populations of the UK.

La tectónica alpina en el SO peninsular (España) (2016)

La tectonica alpina en el SO peninsular esta caracterizada por cabalgamientos E-O a ENE-OSO y desgarres sinestrales NE-SO que dan lugar a la formacion de cuencas sedimentarias E-O. El estudio de la mineralogia de la fraccion < 2μm del relleno sedimentario de las cuencas de Coria, Canaveral y Guadiana muestra la existencia de tres secuencias deposicionales. La Secuencia Deposicional Inferior, discordante sobre el basamento, presenta una asociacion mineralogica illita(predominante)-caolinita-esmectita y solo se ha encontrado en la Cuenca del Guadiana. Su formacion estaria relacionada con la formacion de pequenas cuencas limitadas por fallas E-O. La Secuencia Deposicional Superior se dispone sobre la secuencia anterior y sobre el basamento. La asociacion mineralogica caracteristica es esmectita(predominante)-illita-caolinita. Se encuentra en todas las cuencas estudiadas. Representa abanicos aluviales colaescentes cuyo espesor disminuiria hacia el sur. La actividad tectonica fractura la zona creando cuencas que se rellenan con los sedimentos preexistentes y siguen evolucionando controladas por las fallas de los bordes. La Unidad Culminante esta relacionada con la actividad de las fallas de los bordes septentrionales de las cuencas. Por ultimo estas estructuras controlan la geometria de la red de drenaje actual provocando la orientacion E-O de los cursos principales y los cambios de trayectoria cuando encuentran relieves creados por los desgarres NE-SO.

Auto Teller Machine (ATM) Fraud – Case Study of a Commercial Bank in Pakistan (2012)

ATM occupies an important position in the e-Banking portfolio. It has given the consumers a quality of lifeallowing them to access cash and other financial information. Its role in promoting, developing and expandingthe concept of ‘Anytime Anywhere Anyplace” banking is undeniable. It offers a real convenience to those whoare on the run in their everyday life, but at the same time, it also carries a big element of risk.In this paper we have investigated and demonstrated a mapping flaw (bug) in the ATM Controller (commonlyknown as financial middleware), which allows the ATM card holders of various banks to fraudulently withdrawcash from the ATMs of ACB Bank Limited. The flaw remained undetected for nearly 3 months.Since the breach has been thoroughly investigated, we, therefore, concluded that the banks’ internal controlsystem had failed to detect the implantation of mapping bug which deprived the bank of more than 21 millionPakistani Rupees. In addition, lack of understanding of higher management on the systems & proceduressupporting ATM Infrastructure played a significant role in developing the bug.Considering the nature of the fraud and the degree of losses incurred, this paper has recommended stronginternal controls implementation over the payment system applications. A detailed review of fraud screeningstrategy is also recommended to ensure that the security tools are optimized for their particular product or service.Turnkey ATM solution has also been recommended for the ACB Bank Limited.
Chemical bath deposition of CdS quantum dots onto mesoscopic TiO2 films for application in quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells (2007)

Alcohol, instead of water, was used as a solvent in a chemical bath deposition process for the in situ synthesis of CdS quantum dots onto mesoporous TiO2 films. Due to low surface tension, the alcohol solutions have high wettability and superior penetration ability on the mesoscopic TiO2 film, leading to a well-covered CdS on the surface of mesopores. The CdS-sensitized TiO2 electrode prepared using the alcohol system not only has a higher incorporated amount of CdS but also greatly inhibits the recombination of injected electrons. The efficiency of a CdS quantum-dots-sensitized solar cell prepared using the present method is as high as 1.84% under the illumination of one sun (AM1.5, 100mW∕cm2).
Protection interworking for SDH networks (1998)

The design of survivable and highly available SDH (synchronous digital hierarchy) telecommunications networks is becoming increasingly important. This is due to the continuing increase in the capacity of line systems, so that a single failure potentially results in the loss of a greater volume of traffic, and the increase in the demand from users such as banks and businesses for highly reliable services. The installation of protection devices improves the reliability of a network at the cost of the need to provide extra capacity for the protection paths and the introduction of extra equipment and management complexity. Protection interworking, where more than one protection scheme operates on a single connection across a telecommunications network, is of current interest owing to the drive for more and more reliable networks, the continuing increase in complexity of single networks and the growth in interconnection of networks belonging to different operators. Used wisely, protection interworking will ensure network survivability, improve connection availability and also simplify protection management. This paper examines how protection mechanisms can be made to interwork in the most effective way, with particular reference to matched node interconnection of MS-SPRings.
Effects of Drying and Blanching on the Quality of Toona sinensis (2012)

[Objective]To explore the best T.sinensis processing technology.[Method]The T.sinensis was treated by hot wind drying,freeze drying and blanching,and the contents of ascorbic acid,total phenolics and nitrite were determined respectively before and after the treatment to be a standard to evaluate the influence of different processing methods on the quality of T.sinensis.[Result]Both drying and blanching produced certain impact on the contents of all three components,among which the content of ascorbic acid was slightly influenced by vacuum freeze drying and short-time blanching,but greatly affected by long-time blanching and hot wind drying;the loss rate of polyphenols was above 60% when the hot wind drying,freeze drying and blanching lasted for more than 5 min,while it experienced little change under short-time blanching;hot wind drying and blanching may greatly reduce the content of nitrite,however,the vacuum freeze drying even improved the content,which would produce adverse impact on food safety.[Conclusion]Short-time blanching is the best method to process T.sinensis,it can effectively reduce its content of nitrite and retain the nutrients.
