The Application of Psychological Factors in the Experience Product Design (2009)

Since 1990s more and more enterprises have realized the importance of commercial rules such as "customer-centered" or "market-targeted", the experience economy has turned up recently. This new time has triggered a great revolution in human history of design: the experience design has arisen. In this context, the following paper aims to discuss the application and importance of psychological factors in experience design and how to use the psychological and related knowledge to get rid of the market predicament of product homogenization, so as to upgrade and develop the traditional product.
Porphyrin-based Sensitizers in the Detection and Treatment of Cancer: Recent Progress (2001)

It has been known for some time that porphyrins and related compounds have the ability to selectively accumulate in tumor tissues, and to persist there for long periods of time. This property, along with the well-described photophysical and photosensitizing properties of porphyrin-type molecules, has led to their potential use as adjuvants and sensitizers in a variety of medical applications, such as in photodynamic therapy (PDT), boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), radiation therapy (RT) and in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Both PDT and BNCT are binary cancer therapies that involve activation of tissue-localized sensitizers with either light (in PDT) or low-energy neutrons (in BNCT). In both of these therapeutic methodologies, local tumor control with minimal side effects relative to other forms of cancer treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) can be achieved. Porphyrins constitute a major class of pharmacological agents currently under investigation. Photofrin, a porphyrin derivative, has been approved in the USA as a PDT drug by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and also in Japan, Canada and in eleven European countries. Recently, the FDA approved Visudyne, another porphyrin derivative for the PDT treatment of the 'wet-form' of age-related macular degeneration. In addition to cancer treatment porphyrins are also under investigation for application in the treatment of a variety of other diseases.
Linking the Neuropsychiatric Disease Gene<i>TCF4</i>to Neuronal Activity-Dependent Regulatory Networks (2018)

Perturbation of neuronal activity-regulated transcriptional networks has been increasingly linked to the pathophysiology of various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases ([Ebert et al., 2013][1]). Transcription factors mediate a significant part of the activity-dependent response of neurons by
Regulation of the corpus luteum of early pregnancy in the marmoset monkey: local interactions of luteotrophic and luteolytic hormones in vivo and their effects on the secretion of progesterone (1987)

The interaction between luteotrophic and luteolytic agents in controlling progesterone production by the marmoset corpus luteum in the late luteal phase/early pregnancy was investigated at the local level in vivo using a perfusion cannula system. Perfusion of the prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) analogue, cloprostenol (0.5 microgram/ml), resulted in an immediate fall in progesterone production. This response was not sustained in two out of five corpora lutea but pregnancy was terminated in all animals exposed to PGF2 alpha. Perfusion of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) (4 micrograms/ml) alone significantly stimulated progesterone secretion but there was no response to hCG when the corpus luteum had previously been perfused with PGF2 alpha. Perfusion with hCG together with PGF2 alpha prevented a fall in progesterone secretion. The results suggest that the luteolytic action of PGF2 alpha in the marmoset may be to prevent luteotrophic support of the corpus luteum. Melatonin (860 pmol/l), perfused either with PGF2 alpha or after PGF2 alpha, stimulated progesterone production. The ability of melatonin to influence progesterone production by the primate corpus luteum may therefore be by both a direct luteotrophic action and the prevention of luteolysis. Application of the perfusion system in order to investigate the ability of deglycosylated hCG to antagonize the action of hCG at the corpus luteum showed the necessity of testing pure preparations of hormones.
<i>PSV</i>-wave propagation in a medium with local heterogeneities: a hybrid formulation and its application (1992)

Hybrid methods, which combine so-called 'numerical' and 'analytical' methods, are a successful tool for computing synthetic seismograms for media with localized heterogeneous regions. Each of the two methods is applied in that part of the medium in which it can be employed efficiently. This paper deals with a combination of a finite-difference algorithm, applied in the neighbourhood of the heterogeneity, and a frequency-wavenumber filter for the PSV-wave equation applied outside. This method is an alternative to the use of Green's theorem as a wavefield-continuation method (e.g. van den Berg 1984). In the hybrid method presented here, absorption can be incorporated additionally. For different models with first-and second-order discontinuities the hybrid method was tested successfully against the reflectivity method.

An effective strategy for legacy systems evolution (2003)

Abstract A large number of organizations depend on the business‐critical information systems for their daily activities that have been developed over the last two decades or more. These systems are called Legacy Information Systems (LISs). They mostly run on old software and hardware technology tools and environments. They are hard to modify, expensive to maintain and difficult to integrate with new technology tools and programs. They need to be evolved into modern environments. The LIS modernization is a long outstanding problem of the IT community. This paper presents a classification of current approaches to this problem and suggests guidelines and a methodology for an optimal solution based on many years of professional experiences of the authors in this area. Parts of this methodology have been implemented and tested in many migration projects and they have proven to be effective. This approach optimizes the time, the human resources and the global costs and reduces the risk factors and side effects of renovation projects by developing migration tools once per platform.

Rapid analysis of the short tandem repeat HUMTH01 by capillary electrophoresis. (1994)

Using capillary electrophoresis, we demonstrate separation and analysis of the short tandem repeat HUMTH01 in under 10 min with 3 bp resolution. Separation of the PCR products, which range in size from 179 to 203 bp, is achieved using hydroxyethyl cellulose as the separation medium and a novel single-step voltage gradient. Internal standards on either side of the alleles are used to size the PCR products with an average standard deviation of 0.5 bp. DNA typing patterns obtained with this system are compared to samples separated by polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis.
The olfactory nerve: a shortcut for influenza and other viral diseases into the central nervous system (2014)

The olfactory nerve consists mainly of olfactory receptor neurons and directly connects the nasal cavity with the central nervous system (CNS). Each olfactory receptor neuron projects a dendrite into the nasal cavity on the apical side, and on the basal side extends its axon through the cribriform plate into the olfactory bulb of the brain. Viruses that can use the olfactory nerve as a shortcut into the CNS include influenza A virus, herpesviruses, poliovirus, paramyxoviruses, vesicular stomatitis virus, rabies virus, parainfluenza virus, adenoviruses, Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, chikungunya virus, La Crosse virus, mouse hepatitis virus, and bunyaviruses. However, mechanisms of transport via the olfactory nerve and subsequent spread through the CNS are poorly understood. Proposed mechanisms are either infection of olfactory receptor neurons themselves or diffusion through channels formed by olfactory ensheathing cells. Subsequent virus spread through the CNS could occur by multiple mechanisms, including trans-synaptic transport and microfusion. Viral infection of the CNS can lead to damage from infection of nerve cells per se, from the immune response, or from a combination of both. Clinical consequences range from nervous dysfunction in the absence of histopathological changes to severe meningoencephalitis and neurodegenerative disease.
Realistic Virtual Grasping (2006)

We present a physically-based approach to grasping and manipulation of virtual objects that produces visually realistic results, addresses the problem of visual interpenetration of hand and object models, and performs force rendering for force-feedback gloves in a single framework. Our approach couples tracked hand configuration to a simulation-controlled articulated hand model using a system of linear and torsional spring-dampers. We discuss an implementation of our approach that uses a widely-available simulation tool for collision detection and response. We illustrate the resulting behavior of the virtual hand model and of grasped objects, and we show that the simulation rate is sufficient for control of current force-feedback glove designs. We also present a prototype of a system we are developing to support natural whole-hand interactions in a desktop-sized workspace.
On-line analysis and perturbation of CAN networks (2004)

The controller area network (CAN) is a well-known standard, and it is widely used in many safety-critical applications, spanning from automotive electronics to aircraft and aerospace electronics. Due to its widespread adoption in critical applications, the capability of accurately evaluating the dependability properties of CAN-based networks is becoming a major concern. In this paper we present a new environment that can be fruitfully exploited to assess the effects of faults in CAN-based networks, which is particularly suited for being exploited when a prototype of the network under analysis is available. The core of our new environment is a special-purpose board that plugs into an existing CAN network, and that is able to monitor and, when asked, to modify the information traveling over the bus. Observation and modification of CAN frames are done concurrently with normal CAN-bus operations without introducing any performance degradation. The obtained environment is thus suitable for being deployed in complex CAN-based networks to validate their dependability.
I-Test: integrated testing expert system for trunks (1988)

A prototype trunk-testing expert system developed by Bell Communications Research (Bellcore) is described. The integrated-testing expert-system for trunks (I-TEST) mechanizes and automates many of the conventional manual testing procedures in a switching control center (SCC) of a Bellcore client company (BCC). I-TEST demonstrates the usefulness of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques into the network operations environment. I-TEST was developed in the INTELEWINDOWS environment. This environment includes a windowing system, graphical kernel system (GKS), and a set of high-performance portable C-based AI tools. I-TEST combines traditional structured procedural knowledge and a typical rule-based production system into one inference mechanism to manage a complex trunk-testing environmental in the SCC. I-TEST is an effort to use one intelligent system to integrate all of the future network testing needs, and provide an automated testing environment. The modular design and generic nature of I-TEST allow it to be easily reconfigured to include test access to additional operations systems or network elements.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Sharing communities experiences for query propagation in peer-to-peer systems (2004)

Sharing resources on a world-wide scale is a current research topic. Nowadays, peer-to-peer architecture is considered as a scalable solution to this issue. However, a lot of problems to extend this architecture for data storage remain open. When information is not highly replicated, localization of nodes storing relevant data becomes essential to avoid covering completely the network. To this purpose, we try to propagate a query towards nodes potentially storing relevant data. Information about nodes relevance is obtained by users' experiences. In an applicative context where of interest exist, we create logical and semantic links not only to specify the nodes relevant for a community, but also to link communities with a related interest. The proposed pattern has been created with respect to peer-to-peer philosophy and so as to consider the evolution of communities. A prototype has been implemented, and first experiments allow validating our approach.
Refining the Roles of ROVs and AUVs in the Next Decade (2011)

Abstract DESCRIPTION OF THE MATERIAL The industry would like to develop technologies for remotely operated vehicles, (ROV's) and autonomous underwater vehicles, (AUV's), that can reside and reliably operate for extended periods without the costs of intervention vessels. The forward time period is defined as the next 5 to 10 years and extended subsea operation period is defined as 1 year with maintenance and possible replacement. APPLICATION The objective is to identify ROV / AUV sub-systems and components that would need modification or new design/development such that a vehicle system can reliably operate in a cost effective way for these offshore assets:Limited intervention vessel availabilityLong distance offsetsDrilling Riser inspection and BOP guidanceAssets that may have ice cover.FPSO Inspections It is assumed that a light-class work vehicle would be capable of:Video observation of subsea equipmentOver-riding rotary and linear valvesReplacing electrical flying leadsJetting away silt or debris for observation or replacement operationsLeak detection ROV's appears to be the correct equipment for vertical access and tooling required tasks. AUV's are best suited for longh horizontal survey operations. Considerable standards and subsea infrastructure would have to be implemented to incorporate vehicles into intervention tasks.

Application of Dual Mechanical Port Machine in Hybrid Electrical Vehicles (2006)

In full hybrid electrical vehicles, two separate electric machines and two power inverters are required. One machine operates as a generator and the other works both as a generator and motor. The two electric machines are connected to an intelligent gearbox called planetary gear set together with engine. In this paper, a new machine - dual mechanical port (DMP) machine is proposed, which combines the functions of the two electric machines and the planetary gear set mentioned above. The structure and the dynamic model of DMP are introduced. A prototype is designed and analyzed by FEA. The control algorithms with the overall system operation performance are evaluated by computer simulation
Differential Photoperiodic Control of Seasonal Variations in Pulsatile Luteinizing Hormone Release in Long-Day (Ferret) and Short-Day (Mink) Mammals (1994)

The aim of this study was to elucidate the pituitary adjustments implicated in photoperiodic control of reproduction in two mammalian species, the ferret and the mink. In the ferret, which displays renewed testicular activity when the days lengthen, we observed a stimulation of the pulsatile liberation of luteinizing hormone (LH) reflecting the pulsatile activity of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system when daylight was equal to or in excess of LD 8:16. This photoperiod coincides precisely with the phase of photosensitivity known to be essential for gonadal stimulation in this species. In the mink, which displays renewed testicular activity when the days shorten, pituitary stimulation was activated when daylight was reduced to LD 11:13, and gonadal stimulation occurred only when daylight was further reduced to LD 10:14. In addition to requiring different photoperiodic stimuli to trigger the seasonal reproductive process, the two species display variations in the "timing" of pituitary control of renewed gonadal activity.
Synthesis and Preparative Resolution of the <i>trans</i>‐Cyclohexane Analogues of Phenylalanine (2004)

Abstract Different approaches to the synthesis of enantiomerically pure (1 R ,2 S )‐ and (1 S ,2 R )‐1‐amino‐2‐phenylcyclohexanecarboxylic acids ( trans ‐c 6 Phe) through a racemic pathway followed by semi‐preparative HPLC of a racemic precursor have been studied. The complete diastereoselectivity of the Strecker reaction and the high efficiency of the subsequent transformations into the amino acid favour this method in comparison to the Diels−Alder route. The relative stereochemistry of the amino acid and its precursors has been unambiguously assigned. The preparation of the final enantiomerically pure amino acids and their corresponding N ‐Boc derivatives was carried out by HPLC resolution of one of the intermediates using a cellulose‐derived chiral stationary phase.

[Study of the occupational stress norm and it's application for the executive group and administrative support group]. (2006)

Based on occupational Stress norm, raw score to T-score conversion tables, OSI-R profile form and classification criterion, we could estimate the level of occupation stress, stressor, strain and coping resources in different occupation. In addition, we combined subjective and objective environment match model of occupational stress. The various individual and organizational intervention measures should be taken to reduce the occupational stress and to increase coping so as to improve the work ability.
Green Synthesis of Iron Nanoparticles and Their Environmental Applications and Implications (2016)

Recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology have also led to the development of novel nanomaterials, which ultimately increase potential health and environmental hazards. Interest in developing environmentally benign procedures for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has been increased. The purpose is to minimize the negative impacts of synthetic procedures, their accompanying chemicals and derivative compounds. The exploitation of different biomaterials for the synthesis of nanoparticles is considered a valuable approach in green nanotechnology. Biological resources such as bacteria, algae fungi and plants have been used for the production of low-cost, energy-efficient, and nontoxic environmental friendly metallic nanoparticles. This review provides an overview of various reports of green synthesised zero valent metallic iron (ZVMI) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles (NPs) and highlights their substantial applications in environmental pollution control. This review also summarizes the ecotoxicological impacts of green synthesised iron nanoparticles opposed to non-green synthesised iron nanoparticles.
