REPORT ON JOINT CONFERENCE, ENO FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD OF CONSULTANTS, OCTOBER 25 AND 26, 1978. PART I-TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND MARKETING. PART II-FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION (1979)

This article discusses a report of the Joint Conference Eno Foundation Board Consultants which occurred in October of 1978. The article is divided into two parts; Part I- Transportation Planning and Marketing and Part 2-Freight transportation. Part I describes transportation as a crucial aspect of civilized society. It provides access to people, goods, and services, and to information and knowledge. Without these, economic, social, and political prosperity is impossible. From a simple beginning of serving the country's basic needs for access, transportation has become an integral part of the American culture and life styles. Transportation has made possible new ideas and new products, bringing about new habits and customs. It has made international trade commonplace and altered business practices and recreational trends. Transportation has affected virtually every segment of business, education, recreation, housing, and the daily routine of almost every American. Part II discusses freight transportation, the movement trends of intercity goods. It describes the interrelationship that exists between the economic expansion of the country and the growth of freight transportation. This is a logical relationship since freight transportation provides the necessary logistical linkages that make nationwide economic expansion possible. It describes how as the economy develops, so must its logistical support. It is clear that future intercity goods movement will be heavy enough to permit sizeable grown of all freight transportation modes.
IDENTIFICATION OF A NOVEL GENE ENCODING A SECRETED ANTIGEN 1 OF BABESIA GIBSONI AND EVALUATION OF ITS USE IN SERODIAGNOSIS (2006)

Serum from a dog immunized with blood plasma from a B. gibsoni-infected dog, putatively containing secreted antigens, was used to screen a cDNA expression library. A novel gene encoding BgSA1 was identified from the isolated clones. The serum raised in mice immunized with the recombinant BgSA1 expressed in Escherichia coli could recognize a native parasite protein with a molecular mass of 59 kDa. Comparing with the previously established ELISA with recombinant P50 as antigen, the ELISA with recombinant BgSA1 as the antigen was more sensitive when they were used to detect field samples. Moreover, a sandwich ELISA with anti-BgSA1 antibodies could detect the circulating BgSA1 in a serial blood plasma from a dog experimentally infected with B. gibsoni. These results indicated that BgSA1 could be a useful target for the development of a diagnostic test for the detection of specific antibodies and circulating antigens.
Cluster-10 lung-cancer antibodies recognize NSPs, novel neuro-endocrine proteins associated with membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (1994)

We have identified a novel gene (the NSP gene) encoding 3 transcripts and coding for 3 neuroendocrine-specific proteins (NSPs), by screening a cDNA expression library of the small-cell lung-cancer (SCLC) cell line NCI-H82 with the cluster-10 lung-cancer antibodies RNL2 and RNL3. The 3 transcripts code for NSPs with apparent molecular weights of 135 kDa (NSP-A), 43 to 45 and 35 kDa (NSP-B) and 23 kDa (NSP-C). NSP-A and NSP-B are recognized by antibodies RNL2 and RNL3, while second-generation antibodies, specifically recognizing NSP-A and NSP-C, have been produced after immunization with a hybrid protein obtained after bacterial expression of the largest NSP-transcript or with a synthetic peptide specific for NSP-C. The NSPs exhibit a highly restricted distribution pattern and are found mainly in neural and neuro-endocrine cell types, and in neuro-endocrine tumours. Of the different types of lung tumours, mainly SCLC and carcinoids were positive in immunocytochemical assays using the anti-NSP antibodies, while non-SCLC were in general negative. The subcellular distribution of the NSPs was studied in human SCLC cell lines. They do not co-localize with components typical of neuro-endocrine granules, such as synaptophysin and chromogranin. The use of NSP antibodies in the immunofluorescence technique applied to cultured SCLC cells, made it obvious that these proteins localize in the endoplasmic reticulum. Cell fractionation procedures, monitored by immunoblotting assays, indicated an association of the NSPs with the microsomal fraction, from which they could be solubilized with Triton X-100. Gel filtration studies with this solubilized fraction revealed that NSPs form supramolecular aggregates with a molecular weight of more then 500 kDa.
Prediction-Verification, Hypothesis Accumulation For Scene Analysis By Object Identification (1986)

For scene analysis by object identification, a new method is presented which involves a structural representation of the objects the components of which are local patterns. These local patterns are detected with a hypothesis accumulation technique analogous to the generalized Hough transform but adapted to polygonal contours as pattern representations. The object identification is controlled by a prediction-verification procedure. When a first local pattern is found by hypothesis accumulation, according to the structural model of the object, a second one is predicted, i.e. its direction and the window in which it is expected are given. Its detection is then verified by hypothesis accumulation with these research parameter values. Such an identification method gathers the advantages of both the prediction-verification and the hypothesis accumulation approaches which are respectively, the ability to make very few hypotheses for object recognition, and the capability of handling variations in polygonal contour segmentation. This method has been applied to 2D-scenes of partially observed pieces and the reported results prove its efficiency.
Deletions of Structural Glycoprotein E2 of Classical Swine Fever Virus Strain Alfort/187 Resolve a Linear Epitope of Monoclonal Antibody WH303 and the Minimal N-Terminal Domain Essential for Binding Immunoglobulin G Antibodies of a Pig Hyperimmune Serum (2000)

The major structural glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is responsible for eliciting neutralizing antibodies and conferring protective immunity. The current structural model of this protein predicts its surface-exposed region at the N terminus with a short stretch of the C-terminal residues spanning the membrane envelope. In this study, the N-terminal region of 221 amino acids (aa) covering aa 690 to 910 of the CSFV strain Alfort/187 E2, expressed as a fusion product in Escherichia coli, was shown to contain the epitope recognized by a monoclonal antibody (WH303) with affinity for various CSFV strains but not for the other members of the Pestivirus genus, bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and border disease virus (BDV). This region also contains the sites recognized by polyclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies of a pig hyperimmune serum. Serial deletions of this region precisely defined the epitope recognized by WH303 to be TAVSPTTLR (aa 829 to 837) of E2. Comparison of the sequences around the WH303-binding site among the E2 proteins of pestiviruses indicated that the sequence TAVSPTTLR is strongly conserved in CSFV strains but highly divergent among BVDV and BDV strains. These results provided a structural basis for the reactivity patterns of WH303 and also useful information for the design of a peptide containing this epitope for potential use in the detection and identification of CSFV. By deletion analysis, an antigenic domain capable of reacting with pig polyclonal IgG was found 17 aa from the WH303 epitope within the N-terminal 123 residues (aa 690 to 812). Small N- or C-terminal deletions introduced into the domain disrupt its reactivity with pig polyclonal IgG, suggesting that this is the minimal antigenic domain required for binding to pig antibodies. This domain could have eliminated or reduced the cross-reactivity with other pestiviruses and may thus have an application for the serological detection of CSFV infection; evaluation of this is now possible, since the domain has been expressed in E. coli in large amounts and purified to homogeneity by chromatographic methods.
A quantitative measure for telecommunications networks topology design (2005)

This paper proposes a new measure for network performance evaluation called topology lifetime. The measure provides insight into which one of a set of topologies is likely to last the longest before more capacity must be installed. The lifetime measure is not single valued, but considers growth as a function of a set of demand shifts (perturbation). One network may be better able to support a uniform growth in the traffic, while another may support more growth when unexpected shifts in the load occur. The ability of a network to support unexpected changes in load is becoming more important because of: 1) current practices for installing fiber optics cables; 2) recent advances in dense wavelength division multiplexing; and 3) the increasing popularity of the Internet. The lifetime measure is applied to several topologies; a dual ring, a chordal ring, a Manhattan Street network and an hierarchical network. We also apply the measure to a realistic US IP Backbone network. In this paper, our objective is to show how to apply the measure to different networks, and to explain certain implications for comparisons between networks. We expect this measure to be useful both in the construction of new networks and in selecting between new links that may be added to an existing network.
Myxome odontogène récidivant : à propos d’un cas (2011)

Les myxomes odontognes sont des lsions bnignes, le plus souvent asymptomatiques, mais qui peuvent tre particulirement invasives. Leur prvalence varie de 0,04% 3,7% (Halfpenny 2000), ils reprsenteraient 3% 6% des tumeurs odontognes. La localisation osseuse concerne essentiellement la mandibule. De rares cas de lsions condyliennes ont t dcrits (Halfpenny 2000). Les myxomes sigeant au maxillaire semblent tre plus agressifs que les mysomes mandibulaire (Kaffe 1997). Le traitement est chirurgical et les rcidives frquentes : 31,2 % la mandibule, 80,9 % au maxillaire (Gassab 2007). Le cas prsent est celui d'une jeune fille de dix-sept ans qui a consult pour une douleur dentaire chronique. Cette patiente avait bnfici sept ans auparavant de l'exrse chirurgicale d'un volumineux myxome maxillaire. L'examen endobuccal met en vidence une tumfaction vestibulaire de consistance osseuse en regard de la 14. Les tests de vitalit sur 14 sont ngatifs. Le clich rtro-alvolaire montre une image lacunaire dans la rgion de l'apex de la 14. La tomodensitomtrie met en vidence une lsion radioclaire, polylobule, aux limites nettes, avec des cloisons angles vifs, soufflant la table osseuse vestibulaire et refoulant la limite infrieure du sinus maxillaire, sans envahissement des fosses nasales. Le traitement chirurgical consiste en une nuclation tumorale. L'examen histopathologique de la pice opratoire confirme le diagnostic de myxome. La patiente est rgulirement suivie pendant 3 ans (examen clinique, tomodensitomtrique, imagerie par rsonance magntique). Une reconstruction du maxillaire droit par greffon parital est ensuite envisage. Le traitement des myxomes varie selon les auteurs. Certains prconisent une exrse large des lsions, pour limiter le risque de rcidive (Killey 1964), (Schmidseder 1978), (Deron 1996), d'autres une chirurgie conservatrice avec nuclation de la lsion (Harder 1978). Slootweg et Wittkampf proposent une attitude thrapeutique adapte en fonction du site (exrse large au maxillaire et nuclation la mandibule) (Slootweg 1986). La phase chirurgicale est ensuite suivie d'une surveillance clinique et radiologique, dont la dure est variable (plusieurs mois annes), avant d'envisager la restauration par greffe osseuse autologue et ventuellement une solution implantaire (Yin 2007). La difficult de prise en charge des myxomes rside essentiellement dans le caractre souvent agressif et rcidivant des lsions.
Frequency Domain Interferometry Using the 1290-MHz Søndre Strømfjord Radar: First Results (1993)

First results from the implementation of frequency domain interferometry (FDI) using an L-band frequency of 1290 MHz are presented. To our knowledge, FDI has not previously been applied to such high-frequency measurements. The experiment was conducted in September 1991 using the radar facility located in Søndre Strømfjord, Greenland. The Søndre Strømfjord radar is typically used for incoherent scatter measurements in the ionosphere, but these are some of the first lower-atmospheric results, namely, 8.6–13.4 km, since the new data-taking system was implemented. At the time of the experiment, the steerability of the 32-m dish antenna was hampered because of a faulty elevation-scanning bearing. Therefore, the measurements were taken from an approximately vertical direction for the duration of the experiment. The spectra and the correlation functions obtained from the FDI data are compared to previous results at other frequencies. The data show the Søndre Strømfjord radar is providing reliable wind measurements in the lower atmosphere and that FDI can be implemented at L band.
Activity of Mouse Interferon in Human Cells (1971)

Highly purified preparations of mouse L-cell interferon exhibited a small but consistent antiviral activity in human amnion cells (U-line) challenged with arbovirus A strain Middelburg. This heterologous activity was variable, but titers usually ranged from 1 to 5% of those found in homologous mouse L-cells challenged with vesicular stomatitis virus.
Investigations of the Optical Properties of GaNAs Alloys by First-Principle (2017)

We present a Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis of the optical properties of dilute-As GaN<sub>1-x</sub>As<sub>x</sub> alloys with arsenic (As) content ranging from 0% up to 12.5%. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function are investigated, and the results are compared to experimental and theoretical values for GaN. The analysis extends to present the complex refractive index and the normal-incidence reflectivity. The refractive index difference between GaN and GaNAs alloys can be engineered to be up to ~0.35 in the visible regime by inserting relatively low amounts of As-content into the GaN system. Thus, the analysis elucidates on the birefringence of the dilute-As GaNAs alloys and comparison to other experimentally characterized III-nitride systems is drawn. Our findings indicate the potential of GaNAs alloys for III-nitride based waveguide and photonic circuit design applications.
The effects of fluid invasion in pulsed neutron logging (1965)

Abstract The weak dependence of the results of pulsed neutron logging on the presence of the oil well borehole suggests that thermal neutron die-away measurements in an open hole may be capable of "seeing" beyond a limited amount of borehole fluid invasion. In order to obtain an estimate for the depth of investigation which can be expected from pulsed neutron logging when some invasion has occurred, multigroup neutron diffusion theory was used to calculate thermal neutron lifetimes for the open-hole logging geometry. The transient, three-group equations were solved with the aid of an IBM 7090 computer. Two cases of open-hole fluid invasion were investigated: Fresh-water filtrate invading a salt-water-saturated formation, and salt-water filtrate invading a formation saturated with fresh water (or oil). In both cases the formation is assumed to be a 20 percent porosity sandstone and the fluid-filled borehole is taken to be 20 cm in diameter. It is shown that for any given depth of borehole fluid invasion, up to the point of total masking, it is much easier to detect the presence of oil behind salt-water invasion than to detect salt water behind a zone invaded by fresh water.
[A case of cytomegalovirus colitis during chemotherapy for esophageal cancer]. (2013)

We report a case of a patient who developed cytomegalovirus colitis during chemotherapy for esophageal cancer. A 62- year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of epigastralgia and dysphagia. He was diagnosed as having esophageal cancer( Mt, type 3, cT3, cN2, cM0, cStage III). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil( 5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP) was initiated. However, after 1 course of chemotherapy, the patient experienced a stroke. Subsequently, he was treated with radical chemoradiotherapy. Chemoradiotherapy with low-dose docetaxel was administered. However, he developed interstitial pneumonia, and thus received pulse corticosteroid therapy with methylprednisolone. On the 26th day after steroid therapy, he developed melena. Colonoscopy revealed multiple punched-out ulcers in the transverse colon, and the patient was diagnosed as having cytomegalovirus colitis on the basis of positive cytomegalovirus antigenemia. Intravenous ganciclovir therapy was initiated. On the 13th day after ganciclovir therapy, the patient required an emergency surgery because of perforation-related peritonitis. We identified a perforation in the ascending colon and performed ileocecal resection. Although he was treated with paclitaxel, he died of esophagotracheal fistula and aspiration pneumonitis. We should be aware of cytomegalovirus colitis during chemotherapy and corticosteroid therapy.
A D/A converter based on a pseudo-exponential function (2014)

In this article, a D/A converter employing a novel generalised technique that achieves wide-output linear-in-dB dynamic ranges is proposed. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by constructing a linear-in-90 dB exponential amplifier. In addition, a pseudo-exponential circuit employing two operational amplifiers and a few resistors that simulate the exponential function over a predefined range of 15 dB is proposed as a building block. The theoretical results were experimentally confirmed using readily available components in a circuit with a static power consumption of 22 mW when powered with a ±2.75 V supply.
Quantifying Laboratory Compaction Effects on the Internal Structure of Asphalt Concrete (1999)

The performance of asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures is influenced by its internal structure, which refers to the arrangement of aggregates and their associated air voids. Currently, most of the discussion on the effects of internal structure on AC performance is qualitative. This study proposes computer-automated image analysis procedures to quantify the internal structure of AC. Internal structure is quantified in terms of aggregate orientation, aggregate contacts, and air void distribution. The new procedures are useful tools to describe and compare AC materials produced by different compaction methods and mix designs. The new procedures are used to study the difference in internal structure of AC specimens compacted with the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) and the linear kneading compactor (LKC). Specimens compacted with the SGC were found to have aggregates with more preferred orientation and fewer contacts than specimens compacted with the LKC. In addition, SGC specimens were found to have more air voids at the top and bottom, whereas air voids in LKC specimens were found to increase from the top to the bottom.
Meta-Learning for Low-Resource Neural Machine Translation (2018)

In this paper, we propose to extend the recently introduced model-agnostic meta-learning algorithm (MAML, Finn et al., 2017) for lowresource neural machine translation (NMT). We frame low-resource translation as a metalearning problem, and we learn to adapt to low-resource languages based on multilingual high-resource language tasks. We use the universal lexical representation (Gu et al., 2018b) to overcome the input-output mismatch across different languages. We evaluate the proposed meta-learning strategy using eighteen European languages (Bg, Cs, Da, De, El, Es, Et, Fr, Hu, It, Lt, Nl, Pl, Pt, Sk, Sl, Sv and Ru) as source tasks and five diverse languages (Ro, Lv, Fi, Tr and Ko) as target tasks. We show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the multilingual, transfer learning based approach (Zoph et al., 2016) and enables us to train a competitive NMT system with only a fraction of training examples. For instance, the proposed approach can achieve as high as 22.04 BLEU on Romanian-English WMT'16 by seeing only 16,000 translated words ( 600 parallel sentences).
Induction of Postsurgical Tumor Immunity and T-Cell Memory by a Poorly Immunogenic Tumor (2007)

The generation of protective CD8 T-cell memory against tumor-expressed self-antigens is an important but elusive goal of cancer immunotherapy. The possibility that a progressive, poorly immunogenic tumor can induce T-cell memory against self-antigens has not previously been studied. Herein, we report that growth of the poorly immunogenic B16 melanoma in the absence of regulatory T cells (T(reg)) generates CD8 T-cell responses that develop into functional memory after the tumor has been surgically excised. Tumor-primed memory T cells recognized melanocyte differentiation antigens TRP-2/DCT and gp100 and persisted for as long as 5 months following surgical tumor excision. Phenotypic analysis showed that these cells develop into both central and effector memory T-cell subsets, which produce IFN-gamma and interleukin-2 on reencounter with antigen. Most importantly, tumor-primed memory T cells mediated the rejection of intradermal and systemically disseminated challenge tumors given 30 to 60 days following surgery. Tumor-excised mice also developed autoimmune vitiligo, showing that T(reg) cells prevent tissue-specific autoimmunity in tumor-bearing hosts. This study establishes that T(reg) depletion in tumor-bearing hosts drives the natural development of protective T-cell memory. Generating such responses may aid in the clinical management of tumor recurrence and metastasis following surgery.
Wholly compatible and complementary patterns of rare-earth elements in Quaternary volcanic rocks from Oshima-Oshima and Oshima-Kojima isles, Japan. (1982)

The REE abundances in one basalt and two andesites from Oshima-Oshima and -Kojima isles, Hokkaido, Japan, were determined precisely by mass-spectrometric stable isotope dilution technique. The abundance ratios between two distinct volcanic rocks, i.e., andesite (old somma) and basalt (young somma), from Oshima-Oshima isle show a linear function of atomic number, with breaks at Z = 68 and between 63 and 64. This can be interpreted as implying that the andesite and the basalt studied stand in a mutually conjugate relationship as possible, previously concurrent liquid and solid phases. Employing the abundance ratio function as an effective bulk partition coefficient function, the retrogressive fractionation was theoretically followed back by calculation for different FW* values. The results of calculation suggest that there were two stages concerning the relevant bulk partition coefficient functions for the development of the andesite in question and that the terrace-shaped bulk partition coefficient function with a break at Z = 67 (Ho) worked prior to the tri-segment partition coefficient function obtained directly from the abundance ratio between the andesite and the basalt.
ChemInform Abstract: ALUMINUM ALKYLS WITH HETEROATOMS. III. REACTIONS OF TITANIUM(IV) CHLORIDE WITH TRIS(TRIMETHYLSILYLALKYL)ALUMINUM COMPOUNDS (1977)

Abstract Die Mono‐trimethylsilylmethyl‐ Ti(IV)‐Verbindung (I) kann in reiner Form durch die 6:1‐molare Umsetzung von Titetrachlorid mit Tris‐[trimethylsilylmethyl]‐A1‐diäthylätherat in n‐Hexan bei ‐40°C gewonnen werden.
