Monolayer graphene sensing enabled by the strong Fano-resonant metasurface (2016)

Recent advances in graphene photonics reveal promising applications in the technologically important terahertz spectrum, where graphene-based active terahertz metamaterial modulators have been experimentally demonstrated. However, the sensitivity of the atomically thin graphene monolayer towards sharp Fano resonant terahertz metasurfaces remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate thin-film sensing of the graphene monolayer with a high quality factor terahertz Fano resonance in metasurfaces consisting of a two-dimensional array of asymmetric resonators. A drastic change in the transmission amplitude of the Fano resonance was observed due to strong interactions between the monolayer graphene and the tightly confined electric fields in the capacitive gaps of the Fano resonator. The deep-subwavelength sensing of the atomically thin monolayer graphene further highlights the extreme sensitivity of the resonant electric field excited at the dark Fano resonance, allowing the detection of an analyte that is λ/1 000 000 thinner than the free space wavelength.
EFFICACY OF NEW INSECTICIDES AGAINST LEPIDOPTEROUS LARVAE ON FALL BROCCOLI, 1998 (2000)

Lettuce was direct seeded on 15 Sep at the Yuma Valley Agricultural Center, Yuma, AZ into double row beds on 42-inch centers.Stand establishment was achieved using overhead sprinkler irrigation.Plots were four beds wide by 40 ft long and bordered by two untreated beds.Each treatment was replicated four times and arranged in a RCB design.Insecticide applications were made with a tractormounted hydraulic boom sprayer operated at 40 psi and 30 gpa.A directed spray (rate calibrated for a 75% band) was delivered through 3 nozzles (TX-8) per bed.Sprays were applied on 9 and 23 Oct. The plant size at the time of the first application was 3-4 leaf stage, and 7-8 leaves at the second application.Silwet was added to each spray treatment (3 oz/acre) except the Confirm treatments which were combined with Latron at 4.8 oz/acre.Evaluation of lepidopterous larvae control was based on the number of live larvae per plant sampled from the center 2 rows of each replicate.The plots were sampled before the first application (8 Oct-Pre-treatment count), and 4, 7 and 11 days after the first application (DAT 1) and at 3, 7 and 12 DAT after the 2nd application.Ten plants per plot were destructively sampled on each sample date.The sample unit consisted of examination of whole plants for presence of BAW and CL larvae.The larvae of each species were characterized as large or small.For BAW, larvae were considered small when <5 mm in length and large when >5mm.For CL, larvae were considered small when <10 mm and large when > 10 mm.Low numbers of diamondback moth larvae were observed in the plots following the first application.Data were analyzed as a 1-way ANOVA using a protected LSD F test to distinguish treatment mean differences.

Learning movement patterns in mobile networks: a generic method (2004)

Abstract: Predicting terminals movements in mobile networks is useful for more than one reason, in particular for routing management. A way to do such prediction is to learn the movement patterns of mobile nodes passing by an access router. In this paper, the information (e.g. layer 2 measurements) related to the different paths followed by mobiles are learned using a hidden Markov model. Simulations have been done using this method and show it can handle different layer 2 signals and collect statistical information when no such signal is available. 1.
Collinear beam acousto-optic tunable filters (1992)

A new type of noncollinear acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) suitable for fibre optic communication is described. The AOTF interaction geometry offers the advantages of narrow bandwidth and low drive power. Theoretical analysis of the TeO2 filter shows that optical passband of 1nm and drive power of 12mW are obtainable.
Analysis of cache invalidation patterns in multiprocessors (1989)

To make shared-memory multiprocessors scalable, researchers are now exploring cache coherence protocols that do not rely on broadcast, but instead send invalidation messages to individual caches that contain stale data. The feasibility of such directory-based protocols is highly sensitive to the cache invalidation patterns that parallel programs exhibit. In this paper, we analyze the cache invalidation patterns caused by several parallel applications and investigate the effect of these patterns on a directory-based protocol. Our results are based on multiprocessor traces with 4, 8 and 16 processors. To gain insight into what the invalidation patterns would look like beyond 16 processors, we propose a classification scheme for data objects found in parallel applications and link the invalidation traffic patterns observed in the traces back to these high-level objects. Our results show that synchronization objects have very different invalidation patterns from those of other data objects. A write reference to a synchronization object usually causes invalidations in many more caches. We point out situations where restructuring the application seems appropriate to reduce the invalidation traffic, and others where hardware support is more appropriate. Our results also show that it should be possible to scale “well-written” parallel programs to a large number of processors without an explosion in invalidation traffic.
Prion protein is a component of the multimolecular signaling complex involved in T cell activation (2004)

In this study we analyzed the interaction of prion protein PrP C with components of glycosphingolipid‐enriched microdomains in lymphoblastoid T cells. PrP C was distributed in small clusters on the plasma membrane, as revealed by immunoelectron microscopy. PrP C is present in microdomains, since it coimmunoprecipitates with GM3 and the raft marker GM1. A strict association between PrP C and Fyn was revealed by scanning confocal microscopy and coimmunoprecipitation experiments. The phosphorylation protein ZAP‐70 was immunoprecipitated by anti‐PrP after T cell activation. These results demonstrate that PrP C interacts with ZAP‐70, suggesting that PrP C is a component of the multimolecular signaling complex within microdomains involved in T cell activation.
Converting a transmembrane receptor to a soluble receptor: Recognition domain to effector domain signaling after excision of the transmembrane domain (1997)

The bacterial aspartate receptor was reconstructed to eliminate the transmembrane domain, thus connecting the recognition domain directly to the effector domain. The resulting soluble receptor folded correctly and was no longer an integral membrane protein. Upon aspartate binding, this soluble receptor was stabilized to a similar extent as that of the native receptor. Of interest, this soluble receptor retained the ability to signal from the recognition to the effector domain. This result defines more clearly the role of the membrane and transmembrane domains in signal transduction and suggests that some ligand-induced motions in receptor proteins do not require the membrane or transmembrane domain for information transmission.

Learning to Detect Genuine versus Posed Pain from Facial Expressions using Residual Generative Adversarial Networks (2019)

We present a novel approach based on Residual Generative Adversarial Network (R-GAN) to discriminate genuine pain expression from posed pain expression by magnifying the subtle changes in the face. In addition to the adversarial task, the discriminator network in R-GAN estimates the intensity level of the pain. Moreover, we propose a novel Weighted Spatiotemporal Pooling (WSP) to capture and encode the appearance and dynamic of a given video sequence into an image map. In this way, we are able to transform any video into an image map embedding subtle variations in the facial appearance and dynamics. This allows using any pre-trained model on still images for video analysis. Our extensive experiments show that our proposed framework achieves promising results compared to state-of-the-art approaches on three benchmark databases, i.e., UNBC-McMaster Shoulder Pain, BioVid Head Pain, and STOIC.
Closed Ecological Systems, Space Life Support and Biospherics (2010)

This chapter explores the development of a new type of scientific tool – man-made closed ecological systems. These systems have had a number of applications within the past 50 years. They are unique tools for investigating fundamental processes and interactions of ecosystems. They also hold the potentiality for creating life support systems for space exploration and habitation outside of Earth’s biosphere. Finally, they are an experimental method of working with small “biospheric systems” to gain insight into the functioning of Earth’s biosphere. The chapter reviews the terminology of the field, the history and current work on closed ecological systems, bioregenerative space life support and biospherics in Japan, Europe, Russia, and the United States where they have been most developed. These projects include the Bios experiments in Russia, the Closed Ecological Experiment Facility in Japan, the Biosphere 2 project in Arizona, the MELiSSA program of the European Space Agency as well as fundamental work in the field by NASA and other space agencies. The challenges of achieving full closure, and of recycling air and water and producing high-production crops for such systems are discussed, with examples of different approaches being used to solve these problems. The implications for creating sustainable technologies for our Earth’s environment are also illustrated.

Radiologically isolated syndrome – incidental magnetic resonance imaging findings suggestive of multiple sclerosis, a systematic review (2012)

With increasing availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there is also an increase in incidental abnormal findings. MRI findings suggestive of multiple sclerosis in persons without typical multiple sclerosis symptoms and with normal neurological findings are defined as radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS). Half of the persons with RIS have their initial MRI because of headache, and some have a subclinical cognitive impairment similar to that seen in multiple sclerosis. Radiological measurements also show a similarity between RIS and multiple sclerosis. Approximately two-thirds of persons with RIS show radiological progression and one-third develop neurological symptoms during mean follow-up times of up to five years. Cervical cord lesions are important predictors of clinical conversion. Management has to be individualised, but initiation of disease modifying therapy is controversial and not recommended outside of clinical trials since its effects have not been studied in RIS. Future studies should try to establish the prevalence and long-term prognosis of RIS, its impact on quality of life, and define the role of disease modifying therapy in RIS.
Topological assignment of the N-terminal extension of plasma gelsolin to the gelsolin surface (2005)

The actin-binding protein gelsolin is highly conserved in vertebrates and exists in two isoforms, a cytoplasmic and an extracellular variant, generated by alternative splicing. In mammals, these isoforms differ only by an N-terminal extension in plasma gelsolin, a short sequence of up to 25 amino acids. Cells and tissues may contain both variants, as plasma gelsolin is secreted by many cell types. The tertiary structure of equine plasma gelsolin has been elucidated, but without any information on the N-terminal extension. In this paper, we present topographical data on the N-terminal extension, derived using a biochemical and immunological approach. For this purpose, a monoclonal antibody was generated that exclusively recognizes cytoplasmic gelsolin but not the extracellular variant and thus allows isoform-specific immunodetection and quantification of cytoplasmic gelsolin in the presence of plasma gelsolin. Using limited proteolysis and pepscan analysis, we mapped the binding epitope and localized it within two regions in segment 1 of the cytoplasmic gelsolin sequence: Tyr34-Ile45 and Leu64-Ile78. In the tertiary structure of the cytoplasmic variant, these sequences are mutually adjacent and located in the proximity of the N-terminus. We therefore conclude that the binding site of the antibody is covered by the N-terminal extension in plasma gelsolin and thus sterically hinders antibody binding. Our results allow for a topological model of the N-terminal extension on the surface of the gelsolin molecule, which was unknown previously.
[Methods for collection of human oocytes from ovary (author's transl)]. (1981)

Collection and investigation of human oocytes are essential to the solution of certain medical problems. A total of 265 oocytes was obtained in the authors' own experiments from 34 surgical specimens, seven ovarian wedges, and 46 follicular punctates, all collected during operations. Oocytes may differ greatly in quantity and quality, depending on the original material or, more specifically, physiological condition of the ovaries, technique of collection, case history, and age of patient.
The Survival of Transfused Red Cells in Acute Rheumatic Fever with Reference to a Latent Haemolytic Mechanism (1954)

Antipeptide antibody was raised in rabbit against the sequence (361-390) of RDC-8, the presumed adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> receptor cDNA from canine. The antibody titer was estimated by solid phase radioimmunoassay. Western blot analysis under reducing conditions identified a major 45 ± 1 kDa protein in bovine striatal membranes. This immunoreactive band was competed in the presence of excess peptide. Furthermore, the antibody recognized a single 45-kDa immunoreactive band in membranes from cells transfected with the recombinant human adenosine A<sub>2A</sub> receptors, whereas, fail to cross-react with membranes from cells transfected with recombinant rat A<sub>1</sub> and human A<sub>3</sub> receptors. Membranes from human and porcine coronary artery, ventricle, atria and platelets (human only) showed a major immunoreactive band at 45 ± 1 kDa size. Under nonreducing conditions, the migration patterns of the immunoreactive bands were not altered indicating the absence of interchain disulfide bond. The 45-kDa immunoreactive band co-migrated with 2-[4-(2-{2-[(4-aminophenyl)methylcarbonylamino]ethyl-aminocarbonyl}ethyl)phenyl]ethylamino-5′-<i>N</i>ethylcarboxamidoadenosine photoaffinity labeled A<sub>2A</sub> adenosine receptor using SANPAH as the photoaffinity cross-linker. We provide immunological evidence for the presence of A<sub>2A</sub> adenosine receptor in human cardiovascular tissues that exists as a 45-kDa monomeric protein. This study also presents evidence for the presence of A<sub>2A</sub>adenosine receptor in ventricle and atria in both human and porcine.
Insecticidal effects of extracts of <i>Humulus lupulus</i> (hops) L. cones and its principal component, xanthohumol (2017)

Abstract Insecticidal effects of the dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, acetone, ethanol and methanol extracts of Humulus lupulus (hops) L. cones and its principal components, xanthohumol was investigated on five stored pests, Sitophilus granarius (L.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say.), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and Lasioderma serricorne (F.). The mortality of adults of the insects treated with 2, 5, 5, 10 and 20 mg ml̠ −1 concentrations of the extracts and xanthuhumol was counted after 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 h. In order to determine the toxic effects of the substances tested against all tested insects, durations for 50% mortality of the adults, and LD 50 values were also determined in the first 48 h by probit analysis. Our results also showed that xanthohumol was more toxic against the pests in comparison with the extracts applications. LD 50 values for xanthohumol were found to be low dose as compared with the extracts. Xanthohumol was more toxic against S. granarius (L.) with 6.8 µg of LD 50 value. Among the extracts, methanol extract was less effective than other extracts against all tested insects. The ethyl acetate extract of H. lupulus cones was the most effective extract against the tested pests. The quantitative amounts of xanthohumol in the extracts were determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography. The quantitative data indicated that amount of xanthohumol in the extracts increased with increase of polarity of the solvents used from methanol to dichloromethane. The methanol extract contained the high amount of xanthohumol with 5.74 g/100 g extract (0.46 g/100 g plant sample).
Electronic Word of Mouth: A Genre Analysis of Product Reviews on Consumer Opinion Web Sites (2006)

Consumer opinion Web sites enable consumers to post reviews of products and services or view the experiences of other consumers. This form of writing can be considered a truly digital genre, as consumers were not able to share their opinions with other consumers in a structured, written format before the advent of the Internet. To identify rules and conventions established by the genre community, a sample of 358 product reviews was examined using a methodology that combines elements of case study research, corpus linguistics, and textual analysis. More precisely, the analysis focused on structure, content, audience appeals, sentence style, and word choice. The results of this analysis have implications for improving the design of consumer opinion Web sites with a view to making them more useful sources of consumer knowledge.
Relaxation of Optically Pumped Rb Atoms on Paraffin-Coated Walls (1966)

Relaxation of optically pumped Rb atoms on paraffin-coated walls has been studied using Franzen's sequence (relaxation in the dark) for observables $〈{S}_{z}〉$ (mean electronic longitudinal polarization), and <S\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}I> (population difference between the two hfs levels). The physical meaning of optical signals under different conditions is analyzed in some detail, and it is pointed out that different observables relax differently. In the interpretation of our results, extensive use has been made of the theoretical analysis of the relaxation of a spin S (coupled to a spin I in the Rb atom) caused by a weak interaction of the type $_{\ensuremath{\gamma}s}H(t)\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}\mathbf{S}$, $H(t)$ being a random magnetic field acting on S during the dwell time of a Rb atom on the wall. Experimental results are in excellent agreement with this analysis, if one assumes the existence of two uncorrelated interactions of the above type. The first is the dipole-dipole interaction between S and the nuclear spins K of the protons (or deuterons) of the coating. This interaction has a long correlation time ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{c1}\ensuremath{\approx}4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}10}$ sec and dominates the relaxation of $〈{S}_{z}〉$ in low fields. The second interaction which is independent of spins K, has a short correlation time ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{c2}\ensuremath{\approx}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}12}$ sec, and dominates the relaxation of <S\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}I> in low fields, and of $〈{S}_{z}〉$ in large fields. The values of these correlation times and of the strengths of the two interactions have been measured, first in low fields by combining results on $〈{S}_{z}〉$ and <S\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}I> for the two Rb isotopes and for two types of coatings [${(\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}}_{2})}_{n}$ and ${(\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{D}}_{2})}_{n}$], and second, by studying the variations of the "pseudo" relaxation time ${T}_{1}$ of $〈{S}_{z}〉$ for magnetic-field values up to 5000 G. We arrive at a detailed picture of physical adsorption of Rb on paraffin-coated walls, and find 0.1 eV for the adsorption energy. These results are compatible with those obtained for the relaxation of oriented Rb atoms in collisions with buffer-gas molecules.
Popular participation in economic theory and practice (1993)

Development professionals have begun to emphasize the importance of allowing beneficiaries of development projects to influence their selection, design and implementation. Research by economists and others suggests that while greater knowledge of the preferences of beneficiaries is important, a number of difficulties may arise in attempting to incorporate greater popular participation in development projects. Some of these pitfalls have been observed in participatory World Bank projects. A knowledge of these potential problems may help project planners develop mechanisms, which are likely to vary on a case-by-case basis, to anticipate and avoid their realization.
