Appendix B: Surface emissivity data from PORTOS-Avignon experiment (2006)

The data displayed in the following table were collected at the INRA research centre near Avignon (43°55'N, 4°53'E, south of France) in 1993. Emissivity values were estimated from the measurements made by the PORTOS radiometer. The atmospheric and sky contributions were removed from the brightness temperature measured by PORTOS by an algorithm described in Calvet et al. (1995). Atmospheric and sky contributions were estimated using the outputs of the Meteo France 15 levels weather forecast model PERIDOT and the cloud observations made at the experimental site along with the radiometric acquisitions. The surface effective temperature was estimated by the skin temperature measured by a thermal infrared radiometer. The expected error in microwave emissivities is ±0.015.

Heat Transfer in a Rectangular Channel with Dimples Applied to One Wall (2011)

This study is an investigation of the heat transfer augmentation through the fully developed portion of a narrow rectangular duct (aspect ratio = 2) characterized by the application of dimples to the bottom wall of the channel. The geometries are studied at channel Reynolds numbers of 20,000,30,000, and 40,000. The purpose is to understand the contribution of dimple geometries in the formation of flow structures that improve the advection of heat away from the channel walls. Experimental data reported include local heat transfer coefficient distributions, channel-averaged Nusselt number augmentation, and overall friction augmentation throughout the length of the duct. The largedimple feature was found to promote significant intensification of convective heat transfer (as high as 80%) at a Reynolds number of 30,000. Furthermore, the double-dimple surface feature was found to promote heat transfer augmentation comparable with the large-dimple feature, accompanied by the pressure loss penalty of the modest small dimple. By contributing to a clearer understanding of the effects produced by these geometries, the development of more effective channel-cooling designs can be achieved.

Faster Inversion Recovery Prepared T1 weighted segmented turbo field echo sequence (IR-TFE): Evaluating options for eliminating the start-up shot (2011)

In conventional multi-shot IR-TFE sequences, e.g., clinical myocardial viability imaging, data collected during the first one or two shots is ignored, to minimize signal intensity variation across the shots. For a typical 8-10 heartbeat acquisition, such dummy shots results in scan overhead of 10-15% longer scan time. We evaluate the effect of removing the start-up shots in such IR-TFE sequences, and minimizing the effect of resulting artifacts
RNA- temperature-sensitive mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus: L-protein thermosensitivity accounts for transcriptase restriction of group I mutants (1976)

In vitro transcriptase activity of three group I temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants of vesicular stomatitis virus restricted at 39 C was restored by L-protein fractions derived from wild-type (wt) vesicular stomatitis virion nucleo-capsids. Soluble NS protein from wt nucleocapsids did not reconstitute restricted transcriptions of the group I RNA-ts mutants. NS protein activity, but not L protein activity, was purified from the group I ts mutants; this NS fraction always displayed the wt phenotype in reconstitution assays. Neither the L nor the NS protein was capable of restoring the defective transcriptive activity of the group IV vesicular stomatitis virus mutant ts W16B.
Iron Core Power Losses of an Medium Frequency Resistance Spot Welding Transformer (2011)

This paper deals with power losses in a laminated magnetic core of a medium frequency resistance spot welding transformer (RSWT). The aim of this work is to evaluate the iron core power losses of an RSWT for iron cores with different lamination thickness and for different operating temperatures. This evaluation is used for the advanced design of RSWTs. For determination of iron core losses a laboratory measuring system is used. Further, an experimental method for separation of iron core losses is presented. The proposed method separates iron core losses into two components; hysteresis losses and dynamic losses. The results are validated with a dynamic model of the RSWT iron core.
Evaluation of Masticatory Crushability by Utilizing Multivariate Analysis. (1995)

In order to evaluate masticatory function especially crushability, the method of evaluation of masticatory crushed particles was determined by applying discriminant analysis. As in our previous study, after 10 masticatory strokes, the crushed particles remaining on a 10 mesh sieve were measured by using a digital photograph analyzer. In the previous study, particle size distribution was divided subjectively into three patterns, and it was hard to evaluate the masticatory function of denture wearers, because most of them were included in the poor mastication group. Thus discriminant analysis was performed for objective evaluation of particle distribution.1. From 50 samples of two groups (most efficient group and medium group), the discriminant analysis was carried out and discriminant function was calculated, respectively.2. The score of discriminant function was calculated from all samples, and this value represented the grade of crushing of particles.3. By using this value of crushability, it was possible to compare mastication with removable partial denture and without denture. Though affected by the consciousness of the patient, the value of crushability was improved by wearing denture.
Primary Spinal OPC Culture System from Adult Zebrafish to Study Oligodendrocyte Differentiation In Vitro (2017)

Endogenous oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are a promising target to improve functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) by remyelinating denuded, and therefore vulnerable, axons. Demyelination is the result of a primary insult and secondary injury, leading to conduction blocks and long-term degeneration of the axons, which subsequently can lead to the loss of their neurons. In response to SCI, dormant OPCs can be activated and subsequently start to proliferate and differentiate into mature myelinating oligodendrocytes (OLs). Therefore, researchers strive to control OPC responses, and utilize small molecule screening approaches in order to identify mechanisms of OPC activation, proliferation, migration and differentiation. In zebrafish, OPCs remyelinate axons of the optic tract after lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC)-induced demyelination back to full thickness myelin sheaths. In contrast to zebrafish, mammalian OPCs are highly vulnerable to excitotoxic stress, a cause of secondary injury, and remyelination remains insufficient. Generally, injury induced remyelination leads to shorter internodes and thinner myelin sheaths in mammals. In this study, we show that myelin sheaths are lost early after a complete spinal transection injury, but are re-established within 14 days after lesion. We introduce a novel, easy-to-use, inexpensive and highly reproducible OPC culture system based on dormant spinal OPCs from adult zebrafish that enables <i>in vitro</i> analysis. Zebrafish OPCs are robust, can easily be purified with high viability and taken into cell culture. This method enables to examine why zebrafish OPCs remyelinate better than their mammalian counterparts, identify cell intrinsic responses, which could lead to pro-proliferating or pro-differentiating strategies, and to test small molecule approaches. In this methodology paper, we show efficient isolation of OPCs from adult zebrafish spinal cord and describe culture conditions that enable analysis up to 10 days <i>in vitro</i>. Finally, we demonstrate that zebrafish OPCs differentiate into Myelin Basic Protein (MBP)-expressing OLs when co-cultured with human motor neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This shows that the basic mechanisms of oligodendrocyte differentiation are conserved across species and that understanding the regulation of zebrafish OPCs can contribute to the development of new treatments to human diseases.

Metrifonate Therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease: A Pooled Analysis of Four Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trials (2000)

This retrospective analysis assessed the efficacy of metrifonate in the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). Those four studies meeting Food and Drug Administration guidelines for establishing the efficacy of an AD therapeutic agent were pooled for further analysis. Data were included from all patients valid for the intent-to-treat analyses (last observation carried forward). Patients received once daily placebo (n = 550), metrifonate 30-60 mg (by weight, n = 769) or 60/80 mg (by weight, n = 197). Metrifonate 60/80 mg significantly improved the cognitive abilities [AD Assessment Scale - Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog), p = 0.0001; Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), p = 0.0001], psychiatric and behavioral disturbances (Neuropsychiatric Inventory, p = 0.039; ADAS - Noncognitive Subscale, p = 0.0001), performance of instrumental and basic activities of daily living (Disability Assessment for Dementia, p = 0.0002) and global status (Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change with Caregiver Input, p = 0.0001) of AD patients when compared with placebo. Metrifonate effects across these domains were dose related. Metrifonate 60/80 mg significantly improved the cognitive performance relative to both placebo and to baseline as evaluated by both the ADAS-Cog and the MMSE. Metrifonate is the first cholinesterase inhibitor consistently shown under prospective, placebo-controlled conditions to improve significantly behavior in addition to cognition, function in activities of daily living and global functional status of patients with mild to moderate AD.

Vibration Analysis of Cracked Turbine and Compressor Blades (1990)

The object of the paper is to present a method of vibration analysis of cracked turbine and compressor blades. A transverse crack in a blade introduces local flexibility, which changes dynamic characteristics of a structure. The assumption of the open and closed crack leads to a model with point finite elements which are introduced to the crack model. The blade is modelled by spatial finite elements. The method described in the paper can be used for the study of the effects of crack locations and sizes on the vibrational behaviour of the structure. The analysis is provided along with an algorithm and an example of calculations. The authors have compared the calculation results of the beam model with a crack (regardless of friction in the crack) with the investigation results of paper [2] and have secceeded in obtaining a high compatibility of the results. Hovever, the comparison of the results relevant to the model taking into account friction in the crack was impossible due to inavailabity of similar papers in literature.
Learning from Traditional Dynamic Arts: Elements for Interaction Design (2013)

Understanding traditional dynamic art forms can inspire interaction design for public spaces. This paper attempts to identify the elements in traditional dynamic art forms that could contribute to the design of interactive public art installations. We show an example how these elements can be utilized by designers in a projection-mapping installation to generate concepts for interactions and experiences in public spaces.

Experimental implant communication of high data rate video using an ultra wideband radio link (2013)

Ultra wideband (UWB) is one of the radio technologies adopted by the IEEE 802.15.6™-2012 standard for on-body communication in body area networks (BANs). However, a number of simulation-based studies suggest the feasibility of using UWB for high data rate implant communication too. This paper presents an experimental verification of said predictions. We carried out radio transmissions of H.264/1280×720 pixels video at 80 Mbps through a UWB multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) interface in a porcine chirurgical model. The results demonstrated successful transmission up to a maximum depth of 30 mm in the abdomen and 33 mm in the thorax within the 4.2-4.8 GHz frequency band.
The potent lipid mitogen sphingosylphosphocholine activates the DNA binding activity of upstream stimulating factor (USF), a basic helix-loop-helix-zipper protein (1998)

We previously demonstrated that the sphingolipid, sphingosylphosphocholine (SPC) increased DNA binding activity of AP-1 proteins accompanying cellular proliferation. Herein, the effects of SPC on DNA binding activity and transcription of the basic, helix-loop-helix, leucine zipper (bHLH-ZIP) proteins Myc, Max, and USF were investigated because they regulate genes involved in mitogenesis. E-box (CACGTG) DNA binding proteins were detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assays in nuclear extracts from Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts. The slowest migrating complex (complex I) increased within 1-3 min after treatment with SPC, remained elevated for 10 min, and increased again after 12 h. Complexes I and II contained USF-1 and USF-2 proteins, and complex I migrated similarly to recombinant USF-1 protein/DNA complex. Treatment of nuclear extracts with alkaline phosphatase decreased these complexes suggesting USF might be a phosphoprotein, post-translationally modified by SPC. max and usf-1 mRNA levels were unaffected by SPC treatment. In contrast, c-myc mRNA was rapidly elevated, reached maximum levels at 0.5-1 h, and showed an additional increase after 12 h, just preceding S phase. Thus, certain bHLH-ZIP transcription factors may be involved in cell growth regulation by SPC.

Formation of a Protective Layer During the Hydration of Cement (1992)

The mechanism for the slow rate of reaction between portland cement and water during the early stage is not well understood, but it probably is controlled by either the rate that the reactants diffuse through a barrier that surrounds the unreacted cement grains or by the rate that nuclei of the stable product form and grow or by both rates. New evidence using environmental scanning electron microscopy is presented about the structure of a layer that forms around the particles of cement. Preliminary observations that relate mixing to the structure of the layer are also presented.
Learning a multi-criteria classification method using machine learning & metaheuristics techniques (2010)

Data classification is a widely used approach in the area of data mining. Methodologies for addressing data classification have been developed in a variety of research disciplines, including artificial intelligence (AI) and Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA). The objective of this thesis is to develop a new framework for learning the MCDA method PROAFTN. The limitations of PROAFTN are largely due to the set of parameters required to be obtained to perform the classification procedure. That is, to apply PROAFTN, the values of several parameters need to be determined prior to classification, such as boundaries of intervals and weights. In an MCDA context, these parameters are usually dependent on the judgment of the decision maker (DM). This approach has shortcomings, such as being time consuming and dependent on the availability of a qualified DM. To overcome these limitations and to obtain the best parameters from data, an automatic approach is proposed in this work . 
This thesis introduces new methodologies based on using machine learning and metaheuristic techniques for establishing PROAFTN parameters from data during the training process. The goal is to obtain from training data the best PROAFTN parameters that achieve the highest classification accuracy. To achieve this, different learning methodologies are proposed in this thesis. Firstly, discretization techniques and an inductive approach are introduced to obtain the required parameters for PROAFTN. Secondly, a different approach based on metaheuristic/hybrid-metaheuristic algorithms is used to develop PROAFTN parameters. The use of metaheuristics to learn PROAFTN begins with the formulation of the optimization problem. Then, population-based methods, namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE), and the single-point search method Reduced Variable Neighborhood Search (RUNS) are utilized to obtain the best PROAFTN parameters that can be applied on unseen datasets. 
To test the performance of the proposed learning approaches, their effectiveness in classification is evaluated on several public-domain datasets and compared to a number of well-known machine learning classifiers. Advanced statistical tests such as the Friedman and Nemenyi tests are used for more meaningful comparisons. The general comparative study, including computational results, demonstrates that the proposed approaches are very competitive with and outrank widely used classification algorithms.

High gain antipodal tapered slot antenna With sine-shaped corrugation and fermi profile substrate slotted cut-out for MMW 5G (2015)

A high gain, high-efficiency antipodal tapered slot antenna with sine-shaped corrugation and a Fermi profile substrate cut-out has been developed for 5G millimeter wave (MMW) communications. A parametric study of a new substrate cutout with Fermi profile is demonstrated to reduce the sidelobe level at the E-plane and H-plane as well as to increase antenna efficiency by an average of 88% over a band of 20-40 GHz. A low-cost printed circuit board (PCB) is processed simply with a CNC Milling machine to fabricate the proposed antenna with Fermi profile substrate cut-out. The measured reflection coefficient is found to be less than -14 dB over a frequency range of 20-40 GHz. Furthermore, the measured gain of the proposed antenna is 17 dB at 30 GHz and the measured radiation pattern and gain is almost constant within the wide bandwidth from 30-40 GHz. Therefore, this antenna is proposed for use in an H-plane array structure such as for point-to-point communication systems, a switched-beam system.

Transformation-defective mutants of Rous sarcoma virus with longer sizes of genome RNA and their highly frequent occurrences (1979)

Transformation-defective (td) mutants with different sizes of genomic RNA were isolated from the Prague strain of Rous sarcoma virus, subgroup C(PR-C). All six td viruses (tdTYPR-C) isolated from a single UV-irradiated stock of PR-C (clone 2 of TYPR-C) had slightly longer RNA than did the ordinary class b RNA of tdB77 and Rous-associated virus-7. td viruses spontaneously segregated in uncloned TYPR-C also contained genomic RNA of a size similar to tdTYPR-C RNA. On the other hand, two td mutants isolated from another stock of PR-C (LAPR-C) had the class b RNA. Fingerprint analysis confirmed that tdTYPR-C and tdLAPR-C were derived by deletion from clone 2 of TYPR-C and LAPR-C, respectively, and also showed that clone 2 of TYPR-C had sequences in its genome RNA different from those of LAPR-C, although it gave a fingerprinting pattern similar to the latter. These results strongly suggest that differences between the nucleotide sequences in TYPR-C and LAPR-C RNA may result in different extents of deletion.
