Reorientation phase transition behavior in metastable epitaxial cobalt-copper alloys (1991)

We report experimental results on the ferromagnetic critical behavior of cobalt and metastable cobalt-copper alloy two-dimensional layers CuxCo1−x epitaxially grown on Cu(001). Copper alloying reduces the magnitude of the cobalt magnetic moment and introduces a magnetization component normal to the film. Reorientation of the magnetization back into the plane occurs via a second-order phase transition at a temperature which is lower than the film Curie temperature. We discuss these results in light of the recent predictions of Pescia and Pokrovsky.

Hugvie: A medium that fosters love (2013)

We introduce a communication medium that encourages users to fall in love with their counterparts. Hugvie, the huggable tele-presence medium, enables users to feel like hugging their counterparts while chatting. In this paper, we report that when a participant talks to his communication partner during their first encounter while hugging Hugvie, he mistakenly feels as if they are establishing a good relationship and that he is being loved rather than just being liked.
Automated Classification of Selected Data Elements from Free-text Diagnostic Reports for Clinical Research (2016)

The low average error rates and high average F1-scores of each pipeline demonstrate the suitability of the investigated NPL methods. However, it was also shown that there is no best practice for an automatic classification of data elements from free-text diagnostic reports.
Impulsive control for nanopositioning (2011)

In this paper, impulsive control is applied to a class of linear feedback systems and studied both theoretically and experimentally, with a particular focus on the usage in nanopositioning. By using impulsive control, improvements in tracking performance and tolerance to measurement noise can be achieved which are beyond the limits of conventional linear feedback.
Shear Stress-mediated Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase Activation Is Regulated by Sodium in Endothelial Cells (1999)

Fluid shear stress is an important regulator of endothelial cell (EC) function. To determine whether mechanosensitive ion channels participate in the EC response to shear stress, we characterized the role of ion transport in shear stress-mediated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) stimulation. Replacement of all extracellular Na+ with either N-methyl-D-glucamine or choline chloride increased the ERK1/2 stimulation in response to shear stress by 1.89 +/- 0.1-fold. The Na+ effect was concentration-dependent (maximal effect, </=12.5 mM) and was specific for shear stress-mediated ERK1/2 activation as epidermal growth factor-stimulated ERK1/2 activation was unaffected by removal of extracellular Na+. Shear stress-mediated ERK1/2 activation was potentiated by the voltage-gated sodium channel antagonist, tetrodotoxin (100 nM), to a magnitude similar to that achieved with extracellular Na+ withdrawal. Transfection of Chinese hamster ovary cells with a rat brain type IIa voltage-gated sodium channel completely inhibited shear stress-mediated ERK1/2 activation in these cells. Inhibition was reversed by performing the experiment in sodium-free buffer or by including tetrodotoxin in the buffer. Western blotting of bovine and human EC lysates with SP19 antibody detected a 250-kDa protein consistent with the voltage-gated sodium channel. Degenerate polymerase chain reaction of cDNA from primary human EC yielded transcripts whose sequences were identical to the sodium channel SCN4a and SCN8a alpha subunit genes. These results indicate that shear stress-mediated ERK1/2 activation is regulated by extracellular sodium and demonstrate that ion transport via Na+ channels modulates EC responses to shear stress.
A finite difference scheme for three-dimensional steady laminar incompressible flow (1987)

A finite difference scheme for three-dimensional steady laminar incompressible flows is presented. The Navier-Stokes equations are expressed conservatively in terms of velocity and pressure increments (delta form). First order upwind differences are used for first order partial derivatives of velocity increments resulting in a diagonally dominant matrix system. Central differences are applied to all other terms for second order accuracy. The SIMPLE pressure correction algorithm is used to satisfy the continuity equation. Numerical results are presented for cubic cavity flow problems for Reynolds numbers up to 2000 and are in good agreement with other numerical results.
3D reconstruction of natural scenes with view-adaptive multi-texturing (2004)

We present a 3D reconstruction and modeling system that operates on a number of input photographs that show a natural scene. Approaches from computer graphics and image processing are combined and performance is shown via experiments. Furthermore, reconstruction quality is analyzed w.r.t. the number and distribution of textures, used for reconstruction. The reconstruction pipeline starts with image acquisition, which consists of a number of photographs of the scene that are sequentially taken at different positions. Since the photographs are not acquired concurrently, they are influenced by different illumination conditions that we mandate to be preserved in the final 3D representation. In the second step, object segmentation is applied and camera calibration provided. This allows the application of shape-from-silhouette approaches, namely a hierarchical voxel approach, where different resolution layers are organized within an octree structure. For applying texture mapping, the voxel model is transformed into a wireframe, which provides smoothing of the object's surface and also reduces the number of surface primitives. Finally, a subset of original images is mapped onto the 3D geometry to provide texture information. Here, view-adaptive multi-texturing is used to preserve natural illumination. Intermediate views are interpolated automatically using adaptive real-time weight calculations for original textures.
Two Polymorphic Crystal Structures of Cholesteryl 2,4-Dichlorobenzoate (2004)

Cholesterol derivatives are important constituents of pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis, the formation of thick deposits on the inner surfaces of blood vessels.1 The crystal structures of cholesteryl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate are of interest because their mode of crystallization and packing might be useful in understanding their deposition in arteries.
High-responsivity, normal-incidence long-wave infrared (λ∼7.2 μm) InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As dots-in-a-well detector (2002)

Normal incidence InAs/In0.15Ga0.85As dots-in-a-well detectors operating at T=78 K with λp∼7.2 μm and a spectral width (Δλ/λ) of 35% are reported. The peak at 7.2 μm is attributed to the bound-to-bound transitions between the ground state of the dot and the states within the InGaAs well. A broad shoulder around 5 μm, which is attributed to the bound-to-continuum transition, is also observed. Calibrated blackbody measurements at a device temperature of 78 K yield a peak responsivity of 3.58 A/W (Vb=−1 V), peak detectivity=2.7×109 cm Hz1/2/W (Vb=−0.3 V), conversion efficiency of 57% and a gain ∼25.
Early Identification of Acute Kidney Injury after Bariatric Surgery: Role of NGAL and Cystatin C (2014)

Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate plasmatic and urinary NGAL and serum cystatin C as early diagnostic markers of acute kidney injury in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: For this this prospective observational study, we recruited 23 patients undergoing gastric by-pass or sleeve gastrectomy, and admitted to the Low Dependence Unit after the surgery. Plasma NGAL (pNGAL), urinary NGAL (uNGAL), serum cystatin C, serum creatinine, and serum urea were measured before surgery as well as 10 h and 24 h after surgery. Mean values of pNGAL, uNGAL, cystatin C, creatinine, and urea concentrations of pre- and post-surgery periods were compared using Student’s t test for paired data. We also evaluated the presence of correlation between modifications of NGAL and cystatin C after surgery and fluid balance, hydration (ml/kg) and diuresis using Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. Results: No patient developed AKI according to the AKIN criteria. pNGAL was significantly higher at T 10h than T 0 (p=0.004). There was no significant difference between uNGAL at T 0 and T 10h (p=0.53) and between uNGAL at T 0 and T 24h (p=0.31). uNGAL at T was significantly higher in comparison to T 10h (p=0.024). uNGAL concentrations were normal in all patients at every time step. Cystatin C concentration did not increase after surgery. Serum creatinine level was significantly higher at T 48h , despite being still within the normal range, when compared to T 0 (p=0.038). Conclusion: Our study shows that pNGAL can reflect mild tubular damage as its levels increase within a few hours from surgery and return to normal limits afterwards. Concerning uNGAL, there is a minimal increase at T 24h , when NGAL concentration in plasma has already decreased. Serum cystatin C does not show any relevant kidney changes, or at least, no more than those ones shown by pNGAL.
The Prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections in Irradiated Mice and Rats (1957)

In several studies of endogenous postirradiation infection in mice a varying incidence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia has been reported (1-3). Since this organism has occasionally been found in the intestine, the occurrence of Pseudomonas bacteremia seemed to be in accord with other data suggesting the enteric origin of the invading organisms (1). It was soon found, however, that Pseudomonas, in contrast to other intestinal organisms, may be rapidly fatal for irradiated mice. Epizootics were encountered which significantly modified the course of the radiation sickness and made it necessary to dispose of all stock animals. Carriers appeared to be a constant source of infection for their cagemates (4). In our experience infection with Pseudomonas constitutes a troublesome complication of irradiation experiments; constant careful epidemiological survey was found to be indispensable for its control. In this paper details will be given of procedures which led to the virtual disappearance of Pseudomonas infections. The origin of these infections has been traced to both animal and human carriers, and the ways of propagation will be discussed.

The heterogeneity and mechanical response of hot mix asphalt laboratory specimens (2009)

Many pavement distresses, including rutting, fatigue cracking and low-temperature cracking, are influenced by the air void distribution in hot mix asphalt (HMA). This study investigated the influence of the type of Superpave gyratory compactors (SGCs) and specimen preparation/geometry on air void distribution and its manifestation on mechanical response. X-ray computed tomography along with image analysis techniques was used to capture and characterise the air void distribution within HMA microstructure. The mechanical response was characterised using the dynamic modulus test and static creep test. An index called heterogeneity index was developed to quantify the air void distribution in vertical and lateral directions. The study revealed that laboratory compacted specimens are heterogeneous and there is a need to prepare laboratory specimens with homogeneous air void distribution for accurate interpretation of results. In addition, the study revealed that the type of the SGC used influenced the dynamic modulus of compacted HMA specimens.

THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF RADIO-FREQUENCY DISCHARGE IN γ- REGIME (1979)

The existence of two different regimes of RF discharge (α and β -regimes) was first mentioned in paper /1/. As the luminosity of the high voltage regime was observed to be similar to that of the glow discharge, the author /1/ put forward a hypothesis that secondary emission fram the electrodes ( β -proceas) plays an important role in this regime ( β -discharge). It is presumed that β -processes are negligible in the low voltage regime ( α - discharge).
Keyword translation accuracy and cross-lingual question answering in Chinese and Japanese (2006)

In this paper, we describe the extension of an existing monolingual QA system for English-to-Chinese and English-to-Japanese cross-lingual question answering (CLQA). We also attempt to characterize the influence of translation on CLQA performance through experimental evaluation and analysis. The paper also describes some language-specific issues for keyword translation in CLQA.
The Predictive Role of Germinal Center or Non-Germinal Center Phenotypes in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Patients Receiving CHOP or R-CHOP (2008)

Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It can be divided into the germinal center (GC) and non-GC subtypes by immunohistochemistry based on the expression of CD10, Bcl-6 and MUM-1. The GC Subtype had a significantly better survival rate than the non-GC subtype. These subtypes are predictors of outcome in DLBCL patients receiving CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisone). Recently a significant improvement of outcome has been obtained by combining a monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody, Rituximab, with chemotherapy. We conducted the retrospective study to evaluate the predictive role of GC or non-GC subtypes in DLBCL patients receiving CHOP or rituximab-CHOP (R-CHOP). We searched the DLBCL patients diagnosed at Daegu Catholic University Hospital between 2000 and 2007. Rituximab was introduced into the treatment since 2003. Both the immunohistochemical and clinical data could be analyzed in forty six patients. According to the expression of CD10, Bcl-6 and MUM-1, we divided DLBCLs into the GC or non-GC subgroups (Blood. 2004;103:275-282). The median follow-up duration was 22.5 months. 21 and 25 patients were received CHOP and R-CHOP, respectively. 12 and 34 patients were classified into the GC and non-GC subgroups. The GC subtype showed a better overall survival (OS) than the non-GC subtype (p=0.046), but not progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.633). The GC subtype did not predict the outcome in CHOP and R-CHOP group, respectively. In R-CHOP group, the expression of Bcl-6 was associated with a better OS (p=0.033). The GC subtype showed a better OS in low IPI (IPI 0–2) with borderline significance (p=0.054), but not in high IPI group (IPI 3–5) (p=0.429). In conclusion, the GC subtype showed a better OS in whole patients group, but didn’t show the superior outcome than the non-GC subtype in CHOP subgroup or R-CHOP subgroup, respectively, in this study. It may be due to the small size of the GC subtype. The prospective, large scale study is recommended.
CHAOTIC ATTRACTOR IN THE KURAMOTO MODEL (2005)

The Kuramoto model of globally coupled phase oscillators is an essentially nonlinear dynamical system with a rich dynamics including synchronization and chaos. We study the Kuramoto model from the standpoint of bifurcation and chaos theory of low-dimensional dynamical systems. We find a chaotic attractor in the four-dimensional Kuramoto model and study its origin. The torus destruction scenario is one of the major mechanisms by which chaos arises. L. P. Shilnikov has made decisive contributions to its discovery. We show also that in the Kuramoto model the transition to chaos is in accordance with the torus destruction scenario. We present the general bifurcation diagram containing phase chaos, Cherry flow as well as periodic and quasiperiodic dynamics.
Subretinal gene delivery using helper-dependent adenoviral vectors (2011)

This study describes the successful delivery of helper-dependent adenoviral vectors to the mouse retina with long term and robust levels of reporter expression in the retina without apparent adverse effects. Since these vectors have a large cloning capacity, they have great potential to extend the success of gene therapy achieved using the adeno-associated viral vector.
SNPeffect: a database mapping molecular phenotypic effects of human non-synonymous coding SNPs (2004)

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are an increasingly important tool for genetic and biomedical research. However, the accumulated sequence information on allelic variation is not matched by an understanding of the effect of SNPs on the functional attributes or 'molecular phenotype' of a protein. Towards this aim we developed SNPeffect, an online resource of human non-synonymous coding SNPs (nsSNPs) mapping phenotypic effects of allelic variation in human genes. SNPeffect contains 31 659 nsSNPs from 12 480 human proteins. The current release of SNPeffect incorporates data on protein stability, integrity of functional sites, protein phosphorylation and glycosylation, subcellular localization, protein turnover rates, protein aggregation, amyloidosis and chaperone interaction. The SNP entries are accessible through both a search and browse interface and are linked to most major biological databases. The data can be displayed as detailed descriptions of individual SNPs or as an overview of all SNPs for a given protein. SNPeffect will be regularly updated and can be accessed at http://snpeffect.vib.be/.
Benzoyl Peroxide Formulated Polycarbophil/Carbopol 934P Hydrogel with Selective Antimicrobial Activity, Potentially Beneficial for Treatment and Prevention of Bacterial Vaginosis (2013)

The human vagina is colonized by a variety of indigenous microflora; in healthy individuals the predominant bacterial genus is Lactobacillus while those with bacterial vaginosis (BV) carry a variety of anaerobic representatives of the phylum Actinobacteria. In this study, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) encapsulated in a hydrogel against Gardnerella vaginalis, one of the causative agents of BV, as well as indicating its safety for healthy human lactobacilli. Herein, it is shown that in well diffusion assays G. vaginalis is inhibited at 0.01% hydrogel-encapsulated BPO and that the tested Lactobacillus spp. can tolerate concentrations of BPO up to 2.5%. In direct contact assays (cells grown in a liquid culture containing hydrogel with 1% BPO or BPO particles), we demonstrated that hydrogels loaded with 1% BPO caused 6-log reduction of G. vaginalis. Conversely, three of the tested Lactobacillus spp. were not inhibited while L. acidophilus growth was slightly delayed. The rheological properties of the hydrogel formulation were probed using oscillation frequency sweep, oscillation shear stress sweep, and shear rate sweep. This shows the gel to be suitable for vaginal application and that the encapsulation of BPO did not alter rheological properties.
