A Proposed Algorithm Predictive for Cytotoxic T Cell Alloreactivity (2012)

Abstract Previously, we showed that with an increasing number of amino acid differences in single HLA class I-mismatched molecules, the probability of T cell alloreactivity decreases. It is unlikely that every amino acid difference will affect T cell alloreactivity in a similar way; we hypothesized that the effect of an amino acid difference may be dependent on its position and/or physicochemical properties. We selected 131 patient/donor pairs with either a single HLA-A or -C mismatch in the graft-versus-host direction and that were compatible for HLA-B, -DRB1, and -DQB1. The alloreactive CTL precursor (CTLp) frequency was determined and associated with the amino acid differences between the single HLA class I mismatches. In the β sheet, only amino acids that are noncompatible in their physicochemical properties affect T cell alloreactivity, whereas in the α helices, both compatible and noncompatible amino acids affect CTLp outcome. Positions 62, 63, 73, 76, 77, 80, 99, 116, 138, 144, 147, and 163 were bivariately associated with CTLp outcome, irrespective of the total number of amino acid differences. In multivariate analysis, positions 62, 63, 73, 80, 116, 138, 144, and 163 were found to be most predictive for negative CTLp outcome. These results formed the basis for a weighted predictive mismatch score; pairs with the highest mismatch scores are estimated to be 13 times more likely to have a negative CTLp. This new algorithm may be a tool in donor selection for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
<title>Cadmium telluride quantum-dot-doped glass by the sol-gel technique</title> (1997)

CdTe quantum dot (QD)-doped sodium borosilicate (NBS) glasses with particle sizes ranging from 2.4 nm to 8.5 nm were synthesized by the sol-gel technique. Two sol-gel methods were developed. Method (1) involves the immersion of CdO-doped gels in Na<SUB>2</SUB>Te/methanol (MeOH) solution for 1 to 4 days at 60 degrees Celsius, followed by heat-treatment at 540 degree Celsius or 570 degrees Celsius for 6 to 12 hours in an inert atmosphere. In method 2, CdTe QDs were directly formed at various temperatures (520 degrees Celsius to 570 degrees Celsius) under a reducing atmosphere. The synthesis of CdTe QDs in the NBS glass was accomplished using cadmium nitrate [Cd(NO<SUB>3</SUB>)<SUB>2</SUB>] and telluric acid (H<SUB>6</SUB>TeO<SUB>6</SUB>) as the starting materials. The number density and particle size distribution of the CdTe nanocrystallites depend on the heat- treatment conditions for the reduction of Te<SUP>6+</SUP> to Te<SUP>2-</SUP> ions and their subsequent ions react with Cd<SUP>2+</SUP> ions to form CdTe. The absorption edges of these glasses were blue-shifted due to quantum confinement depending on the concentration of the initial salt and the heat- treatment conditions.
Mobile map service with scalable vector graphics (2004)

Mobile and wireless technologies have evolved rapidly in recent years, especially the development of hardware devices, such as PDA and Smartphone. Telecommunication service providers, manufacturers, and other developers have launched different kinds of services and applications in these mobile devices. Mobile geographic information system (GIS) and location based service (LBS) appear recently to help people to establish spatial relationship with the surroundings. Map, which is a useful tool to assist a person to define a position in a particular area, is usually included in these systems. However, there is no standard format of graphic presentation for map in mobile devices. This work presents the architecture and development of mobile map service with scalable vector graphics (SVG). SVG, which is introduced in 1999 by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), is a XML based vector graphic display across Internet platform; and Mobile SVG 1.1 standard and specifications have been defined in the early of 2003.
Embedding X.509 Digital Certificates in Three-Dimensional Models for Authentication, Authorization, and Traceability of Product Data (2016)

Exchange and reuse of three-dimensional (3D)-product models are hampered by the absence of trust in product-lifecycle-data quality. The root cause of the missing trust is years of "silo" functions (e.g., engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance) using independent and disconnected processes. Those disconnected processes result in data exchanges that do not contain all of the required information for each downstream lifecycle process, which inhibits the reuse of product data and results in duplicate data. The X.509 standard, maintained by the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T), was first issued in 1988. Although originally intended as the authentication framework for the X.500 series for electronic directory services, the X.509 framework is used in a wide range of implementations outside the originally intended paradigm. These implementations range from encrypting websites to software-code signing, yet X.509 certificate use has not widely penetrated engineering and product realms. Our approach is not trying to provide security mechanisms, but equally as important, our method aims to provide insight into what is happening with product data to support trusting the data. This paper provides a review of the use of X.509 certificates and proposes a solution for embedding X.509 digital certificates in 3D models for authentication, authorization, and traceability of product data. This paper also describes an application within the Aerospace domain. Finally, the paper draws conclusions and provides recommendations for further research into using X.509 certificates in product lifecycle management (PLM) workflows to enable a product lifecycle of trust.

Functional Brain Imaging Studies of Cortical Mechanisms for Memory (1995)

Recent functional brain imaging studies in humans indicate that learning and memory involve many of the same regions of the cortex that process sensory information and control motor output. The forms of perceptual and motor learning that can occur without conscious recollection are mediated in part by contractions and expansions of representations in the sensory and motor cortex. The same regions are also engaged during the conscious storage and retrieval of facts and events, but these types of memory also bring into play structures involved in the active maintenance of memories "on line" and in the establishment of associative links between the information stored in different sensory areas. Although the picture of memory that is emerging from functional imaging studies is consistent with current physiological accounts, there are puzzles and surprises that will be solved only through a combination of human and animal studies.
Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.): A Multipurpose Plant (1996)

Sea buckthorn ( Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a multipurpose, hardy, deciduous shrub, an ideal plant for soil erosion control, land reclamation, wildlife habitat enhancement, and farmstead protection. It has high nutritional and medicinal values for humans. The majority of sea buckthorn research has been conducted in Asia and Europe. It is a promising new crop for North America, and recently it has attracted considerable attention by researchers, producers, and industry.
Design and Simulation of a High Speed CMOS Comparator (2013)

Analog-to-Digital conversion process is an electronic process in which an analog signal is changed, without changing its necessary contents, into a digital signal. Latched comparators use positive feedback mechanism (aids in the input signal) to re-generates (amplifies) the analog input signal into a Fullscale digital level output signal [2].This paper presents a CMOS comparator that reduces the overall propagation delay and hence provides higher speed. The design is simulated in 0.25μm CMOS Technology using Tanner EDA Tools. CMOS Comparator shows that the overall propagation delay of the comparator, TPD, is 1.7872e-9 seconds, with a 1.0 V supply voltage.
Translation of reovirus RNA species m1 can initiate at either of the first two in-frame initiation codons. (1993)

The m1 species of reovirus RNA, which encodes the minor protein component mu 2, possesses two initiation codons, one "strong" according to Kozak rules and preceded by 13 residues (IC1), the other "weak" and located 49 codons downstream of the first (IC2). In reovirus-infected cells only IC2 is used, but initiation from IC1 can be activated, and efficiency of initiation from either initiation codon modulated over a wide range, by coupling unrelated sequences to either or both ends of m1 RNA. For example, when the M1 genome segment is cloned into the thymidine kinase gene of vaccinia virus in such a way that various "irrelevant" stretches of nucleotides comprising restriction endonuclease cleavage sites or promoter remnants are coupled to the 5' end of m1 RNA, translation of the resultant transcripts is also initiated at IC2, with frequencies controlled by the nature of the attached sequences. However, in rabbit reticulocyte lysates these same transcripts are translated from IC1 as well as from IC2, and transcripts in which m1 RNA is preceded by long sequences of encephalomyocarditis virus RNA (from the T7 polymerase-controlled pTM1 vector) are translated exclusively from IC1. By contrast, m1 RNA itself is translated only from IC2. It appears that the most important factor that controls the extent to which translation is initiated from IC1 and IC2 is their "availability," which is likely to be a function of the extent to which the regions on either side of them interact with each other (and also, to a lesser extent, with the 3' untranslated region) either directly or via interaction with host cell proteins. The effects described here are of considerable potential significance when genetic material is rearranged as a result of translocations, insertions, deletions, and amplifications--that is, when sequences that are normally separated are brought into apposition.
First Survey of Metallo-β–Lactamase Producers in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa From a Referral Burn Center in Kurdistan Province (2012)

: Background:Â Treatment of infectious diseases is becoming more challenging with each passing year. This is especially true for infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen with the ability to rapidly develop resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics. Objectives:Â This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of metallo-Î²-lactamase (MBL)âproducing strains among multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa strains isolated from burn patients. Materials and Methods:Â The isolates were identified, tested for susceptibility to various antimicrobial agents, and screened for the presence of MÎ²Ls by using the double-disk synergy test. The minimal inhibitory concentration of imipenem was determined by microplate broth dilution method on Mueller-Hinton agar. To detect VIM, SIM, and GIM MBLs, the isolates were subjected to polymerase chain reaction. Results:Â In this study, we identified 100 P. aeruginosa isolates from 176 clinical specimens obtained from burn patients. The isolates showed maximum resistance to ampicillin (100%), ceftazidime (94%), and ceftriaxone (89%). The CLSI-MBL phenotypic test showed that of the 100 P. aeruginosa isolates, 22 (22%) were positive for MBL production in the double-disk synergy test. Of the 22 MBL-positive P. aeruginosa isolates, 8 were resistant to imipenem. PCR analysis showed that 8 isolates were positive for blaVIM1. The other genes blaSIM1 and blaGIM1 were not detected. Conclusions:Â The study results demonstrate the serious therapeutic threat of the spread of MBL producers among P. aeruginosa populations. Metallo-Î²-lactamases were detected in 22% of imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates. Early detection and infection-control practices are the best antimicrobial strategies for this organism; therefore, systematic surveillance to detect MBL producers is necessary.
Extractive Video Summarizer with Memory Augmented Neural Networks (2018)

Online videos have been growing explosively in recent years. How to help human users efficiently browse videos becomes more and more important. Video summarization can automatically shorten a video through extracting key-shots from the raw video, which is helpful for digesting video data. State-of-the-art supervised video summarization algorithms directly learn from manually-created summaries to mimic the key-frame/key-shot selection criterion of humans. Humans usually create a summary after viewing and understanding the whole video, and the global attention mechanism capturing information from all video frames plays a key role in the summarization process. However, previous supervised approaches ignored the temporal relations or simply modeled local inter-dependency across frames. Motivated by this observation, we proposed a memory augmented extractive video summarizer, which utilizes an external memory to record visual information of the whole video with high capacity. With the external memory, the video summarizer simply predicts the importance score of a video shot based on the global understanding of the video frames. The proposed method outperforms previous state-of-the-art algorithms on the public SumMe and TVSum datasets. More importantly, we demonstrate that the global attention modeling has two advantages: good transferring ability across datasets and high robustness to noisy videos.
Hydrogen production using waste aluminium dross: from industrial waste to next-generation fuel (2019)

This article describes the production of hydrogen from white aluminium dross, an industrial waste generated in the aluminium smelter plants. Hydrogen is generated by metal-water reaction between aluminium and water in presence of alkalis like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Aluminium dross is described as a heterogeneous material with its major constituents being metallic aluminium, alumina and other salt fluxes like NaCl and KCl. Utilizing the metallic aluminium content entrapped in the matrix of alumina for the metal-water reaction has been the driving force for the waste recycling and simultaneous hydrogen production. Bulk aluminium dross was crushed and downsized. The finer fraction of the powdered aluminium dross is used for the experiments. The effects of dross in the alkaline solution, temperature of the solution and the time of the reaction were studied to understand the generation of hydrogen. The alkaline solution breaks the protective layer of alumina and exposes the entrapped aluminium content to water, thereby commencing the hydrogen liberation.

Estimation of signal-to-noise: a new procedure applied to AVIRIS data (1989)

To make the best use of narrowband Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data, an investigator needs to know the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The signal is land cover dependent and varies with both wavelength and atmospheric absorption, and random noise comprises sensor noise and intrapixel variability (i.e. variability within a pixel). The three existing methods for estimating the SNR are inadequate, since typical laboratory methods inflate, while typical dark-current and image methods deflate the SNR value. The authors propose a procedure called the geostatistical method that is based on the removal of periodic noise by notch filtering in the frequency domain and the isolation of sensor noise and intrapixel variability using the semivariogram. This procedure was applied easily and successfully to five sets of AVIRIS data from the 1987 flying season and could be applied to remotely sensed data from broadband sensors.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Synthesis and Structure of Alkyl-Substituted Fused Thiophenes Containing up to Seven Rings (2006)

We have established a series of synthetic methods to synthesize alkyl-substituted fused thiophenes with degrees of fusion from two to seven rings. These fused thiophene ring compounds have very good solubility in common organic solvents, making possible the solution processing of these compounds for electronic applications. The UV absorption of these fused thiophenes is blue-shifted when compared with their hydrocarbon counterparts. The larger band gaps result in much better stability. Single-crystal X-ray results for 3,6-didecanyldithieno[2,3-d:2',3'-d']thieno[3,2-b:4,5-b'']dithiophene (FT5) and 3,7-didecanylthieno[3,2-b]thieno[2',3':4,5]thieno[2,3-d]thiophene (FT4) demonstrate that both compounds form pi-stacking structures instead of a herringbone-type of packing motif. This more favorable pi-stacked structure may lead to better material electronic properties such as mobility in devices fabricated with these compounds.

Rapeseed meal and egg taint: The role of sinapine (1980)

Abstract Neither the administration of sinapine bisulphate in the diet, nor the repeated intramuscular or intravenous injection of large doses of this substance, reduced the ability of chicks or laying hens to oxidise trimethylamine (TMA), as measured by the activity of TMA oxidase in hepatic microsomes or the amounts of 14 C‐TMA oxide that appeared in the plasma after the infusion of a standard dose of 14 C‐TMA. Thus, in contrast to its behaviour in vitro , sinapine did not produce significant inhibition of TMA oxidase under these conditions. Since the amount included in the diet was similar to that which would be provided by a diet containing 10% rapeseed meal, it was concluded that sinapine is not involved in the depression of TMA oxidation that occurs when the meal is fed and acts solely as a source of TMA in the consequent production of egg taint.

Mobi_System: A personal travel assistance for electrical vehicles in smart cities (2011)

In this work it is proposed the design of a mobile system to assist car drivers in a smart city environment oriented to the upcoming reality of Electric Vehicles (EV). Taking into account the new reality of smart cites, EV introduction, Smart Grids (SG), Electrical Markets (EM), with deregulation of electricity production and use, drivers will need more information for decision and mobility purposes. A mobile application to recommend useful related information will help drivers to deal with this new reality, giving guidance towards traffic, batteries charging process, and city mobility infrastructures (e.g. public transportation information, parking places availability and car & bike sharing systems). Since this is an upcoming reality with possible process changes, development must be based on agile process approaches (Web services).
Conceptual Aerodynamic Evaluation of Mini/Micro UAV (2006)

Development of Mini/Micro UAV is a reason for renewed interest in aerodynamics of low Reynolds numbers. Configurations with enhanced lift-carrying capabilities are especially attractive for these design activities because of their potential to provide an answer to most of required UAV characteristics. The primary objectives in evaluation of Mini/Micro UAV are design for limited dimensions, capabilities to perform at reduced airspeeds, flight safety aspects for operation in ghusty/windy air, reduced power consumption at cruising and loitering/turning flight, maneuver performance and payload carriage capabilities. Aerodynamics of low Reynolds, high-lift UAV wings starts to play an important role in achieving these design goals. The main difficulties in evaluation of low Reynolds number wings are associated with theoretical simulation of transition control and experimental evaluation of surface roughness required for minimization of laminar separation bubbles, prevention/delay of laminar stall and development of hysteresis phenomena. While design and analysis of low Reynolds number airfoils may rely on MSES code and reduced values of critical N-factor, experimental evaluation of specific transition control means that are equivalent to this design methodology should be an objective of WT research program dedicated to this issue. Development of low Reynolds number wings for Mini/Micro UAV is illustrated in this paper by presenting conceptual aerodynamic evaluation of two Mini UAV configurations - Mini Truck and X-Plane. The first one is conventional wing-body-tail configuration that rely on low Reynolds, two-element wing and transition control methodology for achievement of high-lift capabilities at domain of low airspeeds. High maximum lift of Mini Truck may be traded for smaller air vehicle and for enhancement of its performance capabilities at domain of low Reynolds numbers. The concept provides reduced power consumption at cruising and loitering/turning flight, improved maneuverability and extended payload carriage capabilities. A special attention was paid to description of design and experimental evaluation of high lift airfoil MTD-120, developed for Mini Truck configuration. X-Plane is biplane-type configuration with shifted wings that allows elimination of empennage and provides large wing area for constrained dimensions without compromising on aspect ratio of configuration. Enhanced aerodynamic efficiency, extended maneuver capabilities and acceptable stability and control of this tailless configuration are the main advantages of the concept.
