Highly Transparent w/o Pickering Emulsions without Adjusting the Refractive Index of the Stabilizing Particles (2017)

Pickering emulsions with a remarkable transmittance of up to 86% across the visible spectrum have been prepared without adjusting the refractive index (RI) of the stabilizing particles to those of the aqueous and oil phases. Commercially available hydrophilic silica particles with a diameter of 20 nm, which are hydrophobized partially in situ, were used to stabilize water droplets with diameters below 400 nm in IsoparM. In this system, the stabilizing particles and the emulsion droplets act as one single scattering object, which renders RI-matching of the particles unnecessary. By either evaporation of some water from the droplets or addition of an appropriate organic liquid to the oil phase, it is possible to match the RI of the droplets (aqueous phase + particles) with that of the continuous phase, which minimizes scattering and results in highly transparent emulsions.
KIBRA Regulates Hippo Signaling Activity via Interactions with Large Tumor Suppressor Kinases (2011)

The Hippo pathway controls tissue growth and tumorigenesis by inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Recent genetic studies in Drosophila identified Kibra as a novel regulator of Hippo signaling. Human KIBRA has been associated with memory performance and cell migration. However, it is unclear whether or how KIBRA is connected to the Hippo pathway in mammalian cells. Here, we show that KIBRA associates with and activates Lats (large tumor suppressor) 1 and 2 kinases by stimulating their phosphorylation on the hydrophobic motif. KIBRA overexpression stimulates the phosphorylation of Yes-associated protein (YAP), the Hippo pathway effector. Conversely, depletion of KIBRA by RNA interference reduces YAP phosphorylation. Furthermore, KIBRA stabilizes Lats2 by inhibiting its ubiquitination. We also found that KIBRA mRNA is induced by YAP overexpression in both murine and human cells, suggesting the evolutionary conservation of KIBRA as a transcriptional target of the Hippo signaling pathway. Thus, our study revealed a new connection between KIBRA and mammalian Hippo signaling.

A three-phase ZVT boost rectifier with improved analog controller (2002)

An analog current controller is very attractive for a three-phase ZVT boost PWM rectifier due to its simplicity, no sampling delay, low cost, etc. Although a six-step operation can be achieved automatically under ideal situations, an improved analog controller has been proposed to deal with problems under unbalanced situations. A comprehensive study and control loop design are presented. A design example for a 6 kW three phase ZVT boost PWM PFC converter operating at 50 kHz is described.

A new methodology for 3D survey design (2004)

There are two main problems in designing a 3D seismic survey. Firstly, a survey geometry needs to be established that will handle signal correctly—in terms of resolution and amplitude fidelity. Secondly, the same survey geometry must somehow effectively attenuate various types of noise that will be present. The design process described below achieves these two goals (record signal in an optimum way and attenuate noise as much as possible). The process may be applied to any 3D survey regardless of subsurface complexity and survey location. The method is applicable to land, marine, and OBC acquisition. Some example details in this paper (notably, parts of step 9 and all of steps 11–14) pertain more to land and OBC geometries than to marine (parallel) geometries. Nonetheless, steps 11 and 12 still apply to marine geometries with small changes to accommodate the line spacing employed there. The analysis of noise and migration impulse response is just as important to a marine survey as it is to a land survey.
Facile Synthesis of Platinum Nanofiber/Nanotube Junction Structures at Room Temperature (2008)

A simple displacement process for the large-scale synthesis of Pt nanofiber/nanotube junction structure at room temperature was present. The introduction of CTAB as a structure-inducing agent led to the controlled growth of such novel structures. Platinum nanofibers and nanotubes can be easily separated from these junctions via a combination of sonication and centrifugation.
Experimental Study of Ionized Matter Projected across a Magnetic Field (1956)

A plasma gun has been developed which projects ionized matter (metallic and deuterium ions) at speeds up to 2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{7}$ cm per second. There is some evidence to support the hypothesis that the plasma projected by this gun comes off in an expanding torus which is shaped by its own magnetic field. When the plasma gun is fired into a dc magnetic field, the plasma forms a compact geometrical configuration (a plasma-magnetic entity called a plasmoid) which proceeds across the magnetic field. Plasmoids appear to be plasma cylinders elongated in the direction of the magnetic field. Plasmoids possess a measurable magnetic moment, a measurable translational speed, a transverse electric field, and a measurable size. Plasmoids can interact with each other, seemingly by reflecting off one another. Their orbits can also be made to curve toward one another. Plasmoids can be made to spiral to a stop if projected into a gas at about ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ mm Hg pressure. Plasmoids can also be made to smash each other into fragments. There is some scant evidence to support the hypothesis that they undergo fission and possess spin.

Molecular Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Colorectal Cancer Using RT‐PCR: Significance of the Prediction of Postoperative Metastasis (2006)

Using RT-PCR for the detection of CEA mRNA is feasible and may be a promising tool for early detection of micrometastatic circulating tumor cells in CRC patients. CRC patients expressing positive CEA mRNA in peripheral blood have a significantly higher risk of postoperative metastasis. Nevertheless, confirmation of CEA mRNA as a prognostic predictive factor requires the continuation of patient follow-up.
<title>3D digital hologram synthesis based on angular spectrum</title> (1998)

This paper presents a ne method to calculate an image hologram pattern for a 3D object modeled as a stack of horizontally sliced 2D images. It is shown that the proposed method manipulates data on the angular spectrum domain, just as a recently presented method by Leseberg and thus it is regarded as an approximation to the Leseberg's method. Major differences arise in the implementation where it utilizes FFT in two perpendicular directions, which reduces the computational load considerably although additional interpolation process is required. We finally provide some comparisons between the proposed method and the existing methods in terms of computational complexities and performances.
Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Weapons: Are They Inevitably Linked? (1976)

For forty years politically active nuclear scientists have been trying to invent and to promote policies and schemes which would on the one hand make the benefits of nuclear energy available to all mankind, and on the other hand inhibit or prevent the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons. So far, the record of these attempts is poor; it now threatens to get worse fast.

The effect of bovine thrombomodulin on the specificity of bovine thrombin. (1986)

Bovine lung thrombomodulin is purified and used to investigate the basis of the change in substrate specificity of bovine thrombin when bound to thrombomodulin. Bovine thrombomodulin is a single polypeptide having an apparent molecular weight of 84,000 and associates with thrombin with high affinity and rapid equilibrium, to act as a potent cofactor for protein C activation and antagonist of reactions of thrombin with fibrinogen, heparin cofactor 2, and hirudin. Bovine thrombomodulin inhibits the clotting activity of thrombin with Kd less than 2.5 nM. Kinetic analysis of the effect of bovine thrombomodulin on fibrinopeptide A hydrolysis by thrombin indicates competitive inhibition with Kis = 0.5 nM. The active site of thrombin is little perturbed by thrombomodulin, as tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide hydrolysis and inhibition by antithrombin III are unaffected. Insensitivity of the reaction with antithrombin III is likewise observed with thrombin bound to thrombomodulin on intact endothelium. Antithrombin III-heparin, human heparin cofactor 2, and hirudin inhibit thrombin-thrombomodulin more slowly than thrombin. These effects may arise from a decrease in Ki of the inhibitors for thrombin-thrombomodulin or from changes in the active site not detected by tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide or antithrombin III. Bovine prothrombin fragment 2 inhibits thrombin clotting activity (Kd less than 7.5 microM) and acts as a competitive inhibitor of protein C activation (Kis = 2.1 microM). The data are consistent with a mechanism whereby thrombomodulin alters thrombin specificity by either binding to or allosterically altering a site on thrombin distinct from the catalytic center required for binding or steric accommodation of fibrinogen, prothrombin fragment 2, heparin cofactor 2, and hirudin.
Investigation of High-Performance Air-Processed Poly(3-hexylthiophene)/Methanofullerene Bulk-Heterojunction Solar Cells (2010)

High-performance bulk heterojunction solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) have been fabricated in ambient air. The devices treated by two-step thermal annealing exhibit power conversion efficiencies of about 3.40%, which are comparable to the devices prepared in inert atmosphere. The effect of film annealing and postannealing on the device performance has been systematically studied. The microstructure of the composite films was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Ambipolar field-effect transistors based on P3HT:PCBM have been fabricated to characterize the electron and hole mobilities in the composite film. An impedance analyzer has been used to investigate carrier lifetime in the solar cells. The results indicate that thermal annealing processes can control balanced electron and hole mobilities, reduce traps, and increase carrier lifetime in the organic solar cells and thus optimize the performance of the devices fabricated in air.
Oleochemicals from Isoricinoleic Acid (<i>Wrightia </i><i>t</i><i>inctoria</i> Seed Oil) (2008)

Derivatization of methyl 9-hydroxyoctadec-12-ynoate (I) was done to obtain the industrially important fatty compounds. Methyl 9-hydroxyoctadec-12-ynoate (I) was subjected to mesylation and demesylation reactions in which an unknown compound, methyl 9-ethoxyoctadec-12-ynoate (VII), was furnished in good yield, in addition to an inseparable mixture of enynoic esters. In another set of reactions, methyl 9-hydroxyoctadec-12-ynoate (I) was oxidized with trimethyl chlorochromate wherein the resulting methyl 9-oxooctadec-12-ynoate (II) was subjected to three condensation reactionswith 1,2-ethanedithiol, ethylene glycol, and β -mercaptoethanol, separatelyto yield diethyl 9,9-ethylenedisulfide octadec-12-ynoate (III), 9,9-ethylenedioxyoctadec-12-ynoate (IV), and 9-oxathiolaneoctadec-12-ynoate (V), respectively, in excellent yields. Their structures have been established using infrared (IR) spectroscopy, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectral studies.
Establishment of suspension cultures of Salvadora persica L. for benzyl isothiocyanate production (2017)

Successful scale-upof the anticancer benzyl isothiocyanate compound production was achieved from cell suspension cultures of Salvadora persica L. Cell cultures were established from the stem internodal segments derived callus. Elicitation with two biotic elicitors; chitosan and salicylic acid, increased callus biomass and benzyl isothiocyanate accumulation, but chitosan induced the maximum accumulation, which reached about four-fold higher over the control at the concentration of 100 mg/L. Benzyl isothiocyanate production from cell suspension cultures was studied in shake-flask culture and stirred-tank bioreactor with the application of the optimum concentration of chitosan in the medium. Both methods elevate the compound production; however its yield was higherin the stirred-tank bioreactor.It achieved about eight-fold increase in the production of benzyl isothiocyanate after 24 days of incubation. This protocol can act as a roadmap for large-scale production of benzyl isothiocyanate from cell suspension cultures ofSalvadora persica by using bioreactors.
Hypoglycemic activity of bio-tea in mice. (2000)

Administration of bio-tea (1.71 ml/kg) to normal albino mice caused hypoglycemia after 30 min which reached to maximum after 2 hr with a significant decrease in blood sugar level (BSL) and became normal beyond 8 hr. In alloxan-induced diabetic albino mice, repeated treatments of bio-tea for 3 days (five doses) brought about a significant fall in mean BSL. Continuous decrease in BSL was observed after 4 hr of administration of last dose of bio-tea. Hypoglycemic effect was persistent in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Effect on glucose tolerance test showed a significant fall in BSL of bio-tea treated animals after 1 hr of glucose treatment indicating hypoglycemic effect of bio-tea.
On the Measure of Solid Angles (1990)

One would think that such a nice formula should be old and well-known. But so far, I have not been able to find it in the literature. However, almost the same result was known to Euler [4, p. 215] and Lagrange [8, p. 340]. (The title above is a translation of the Latin title of [4].) We use the standard notations a, b, c for the sides of our spherical triangle T, and A, B, C for the angles. The area of T is its excess E = A + B + C rr. The old result can be written
Formation Characteristics of Synthesized Natural Gas Hydrates in Meso- and Macroporous Silica Gels (2010)

Phase equilibria and formation kinetics of the natural gas hydrate in porous silica gels were investigated using the natural gas composition in the Korean domestic natural gas grid. The hydrate-phase equilibria in the porous media are found to shift to the inhibition area than that in the bulk phase. The measured phase equilibrium data, combined with the Gibbs-Thomson equation, were used to calculate the hydrate-water interfacial tension. The value was estimated to be 59.74 +/- 2 mJ/m(2) for the natural gas hydrate. In addition, the inhibition effect is observed to be more significant in the meso-sized pore than the macro-sized one. In the formation kinetics, it was found that the hydrate formation reached the steady-state in a short period of time without mechanical stirring. Furthermore, the formation rate was found to be faster at 275.2 K than 273.2 K even though the driving force at 273.2 K is larger than that of 275.2 K. Even though the porous silica gels have smaller volume than other methods for gas storage, the gas consumption was found to be significantly enhanced in this study (for example, 120 vol/vol for the silica gels and 97 vol/vol for wet activated carbon). In this regard, using porous silica gels can be a potential alternative for gas storage and transportation as a nonmechanical stirring method. Although this investigation was performed with the natural gas composition in the Korean domestic grid, the results can also be expanded for designing or operating any hydrate-based process using various gas compositions.
Energy band structure tailoring of vertically aligned InAs/GaAsSb quantum dot structure for intermediate-band solar cell application by thermal annealing process (2014)

This study presents an band-alignment tailoring of a vertically aligned InAs/GaAs(Sb) quantum dot (QD) structure and the extension of the carrier lifetime therein by rapid thermal annealing (RTA). Arrhenius analysis indicates a larger activation energy and thermal stability that results from the suppression of In-Ga intermixing and preservation of the QD heterostructure in an annealed vertically aligned InAs/GaAsSb QD structure. Power-dependent and time-resolved photoluminescence were utilized to demonstrate the extended carrier lifetime from 4.7 to 9.4 ns and elucidate the mechanisms of the antimony aggregation resulting in a band-alignment tailoring from straddling to staggered gap after the RTA process. The significant extension in the carrier lifetime of the columnar InAs/GaAsSb dot structure make the great potential in improving QD intermediate-band solar cell application.
Erythropoietin deficiency in acute tubular necrosis (1990)

Serum erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations were markedly depressed relative to the degree of anaemia in 10 patients with acute tubular necrosis, and remained low long after restoration of excretory renal function as estimated by glomerular filtration rate. Evidence is presented that the low serum EPO level is due to defective synthesis and not to increased catabolism. It is suggested that the predominantly are generatory anaemia found in prolonged cases of acute tubular necrosis, and the slow restoration of red cell mass during recovery, are due to the deficient synthesis of EPO. A positive erythropoietic response in a therapeutic trial with recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) appears to support this hypothesis.
Combinations of Orthogonal Spectra to Estimate Component Spectra in Multicomponent Mixtures (1987)

A factor analysis of a set of spectra of multicomponent mixtures yields n orthogonal spectra where n is the number of components in the mixtures. Combinations of these orthogonal spectra, done so as to eliminate the contributions to the spectra from one of the components, yield a set of n – 1 linearly independent abstract spectra. Repetition of this process is used to estimate the spectrum of each of the components without identifying the range of the n -dimensional vector space in which the solution must fall. Several techniques for estimating the appropriate combinations of orthogonal spectra are compared.
Effective Mass Theory for Abrupt Heterostructures (1993)

Abstract For an abrupt heterojunction between two otherwise homogeneous semiconductors in one dimension the effective mass Hamiltonian is studied with 2α + β = −1, where m ( z ) is the position‐dependent effective mass and E c ( z ) the position‐dependent conduction band edge. Through exact model calculations on heterostructures, when the effective‐mass theory is valid the parameters α and β are found to be 0 and −1, respectively. This conclusion is obtained in the asymptotic limit of the energy near the band edge and holds for equal lattice parameters. Results are also compared to other theories.

Augmented Reality Visualisation of the Built Environment To Support Design Decision Making (2006)

This paper reviews current approaches to design visualization in the built environment and establishes a gap in theory and practice. While it has been acknowledged for some time that the temporal component is an important aspect of visualisation there has been minimal attempts to integrate this approach into design practice. We articulate an approach to visualization which we term ‘temporal context’. This approach has two aspects: (1) the evaluation of designs in terms of spatial sequence and multiple viewpoints over time; (2) perceptual change over time due to changing light and atmospheric conditions. Building on our previous research in the use of video game technology to facilitate design, we evaluate the potential of augmented reality (AR) technology to address temporal context. We describe proposals for two innovative screen based AR systems, which incorporate a multi-camera capture mechanism, a video data base and a unique illumination data capture approach.
