A Hybrid Approach for Privacy-preserving Record Linkage. (2014)

The integration of information dispersed among multiple repositories is a crucial step for accurate data analysis in various domains. In support of this goal, it is critical to devise procedures for identifying similar records across distinct data sources. At the same time, to adhere to privacy regulations and policies, such procedures should protect the confidentiality of the individuals to whom the information corresponds. Various private record linkage (PRL) protocols have been proposed to achieve this goal, involving secure multi-party computation (SMC) and similarity preserving data transformation techniques. SMC methods provide secure and accurate solutions to the PRL problem, but are prohibitively expensive in practice for large data sets, mainly due to excessive computational requirements. Data transformation techniques offer more practical solutions, but incur the cost of information leakage and false matches. In this talk, we discuss how the performance of SMC based PRL techniques could be significantly improved by combining them with data sanitization techniques without incurring the cost of information leakage and false matches. Furthermore, we discuss how to efficiently handle typographical errors exist in data during the PRL protocol execution.

Richter transformation with c-MYC overexpression: report of three cases. (2015)

Pathogenesis of Richter transformation (RT) or Richter syndrome (RS) of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is still largely unknown. Increasing evidences show that c-MYC may play a role in the development of RS. Here we report three cases of RS with overexpression of c-MYC. The first case was a 78-year-old male who initially presented with CLL and then developed diffuse lymphadenopathy and ascites shortly after. Ascites cytology showed a population of large lymphoid cells positive for MYC (8q24) rearrangement by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and overexpression of c-MYC by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The second case was a 66-year-old male presented with rapidly enlarging lymph nodes and pleural effusion after a long history of CLL. Biopsy showed large B-cells positive for c-MYC overexpression and high Ki-67 proliferation index (80-90%). The third case was a 62-year-old female with CLL who presented for lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma. Interestingly, along with the carcinoma, large B-cell lymphoma was incidentally found which had the same immunophenotype as the CLL. FISH analysis revealed gain of c-MYC at 8q and IHC showed increased c-MYC expression. This study supports that c-MYC plays a critical role in RS.
HIGH EFFICIENCY THIN FILM GaAs SOLAR CELLS WITH IMPROVED RADIATION HARDNESS (2005)

G.J. Bauhuis, P. Mulder, J.J. Schermer, E.J. Haverkamp, J. van Deelen and P.K. Larsen Radboud University Nijmegen, Experimental Solid State Physics III, IMM, Toernooiveld 1, 6525 ED Nijmegen, The Netherlands, corresponding author email: g.bauhuis@science.ru.nl ABSTRACT: In the present work, the performance of thin film GaAs solar cells with a mirror back contact is compared to regular GaAs cells on a substrate. A world record efficiency of 24.5% AM1.5G is obtained for a thin film cell with a gold mirror. The thin film cell thickness is only half of the regular GaAs cell thickness, which improves the radiation resistance for use in space applications and enhances the open-circuit voltage by more than 10 mV. The efficiency of the thin film cell, which is 0.5% lower at this stage, has the potential to surpass that of regular GaAs cells in the near future. Keywords: III-V Semiconductors, thin film, radiation damage 1 INTRODUCTION Using the Epitaxial Lift-Off (ELO) technique a III-V device structure can be separated from its GaAs substrate by selective wet etching of a thin release layer. The thin film structures obtained by the ELO process can be cemented or Van der Waals bonded on arbitrary smooth carriers for further processing. The ELO method, initially able to separate millimetre sized GaAs layers with a lateral etch rate of about 1 mm/h, has been developed to a process capable to free entire 2 epitaxial structures from their substrates with etch rates up to 30 mm/h [1]. After cleaning, the substrate can be reused for epitaxial growth. With these characteristics the method has a large potential for the production of high efficiency thin-film solar cells. By choosing the right deposition and ELO strategy, the thin-film III-V cells can be adequately processed on both sides allowing for an entire range of new cell structures. Initially, a process was developed in which the sample with the carrier is mounted upside down above the etch solution in a closed container [2]. A variable weight attached to the foil provides the required external force (see fig. 1a). A disadvantage of this separation method is that the flexible carrier can bend too much, resulting in cracking of the epitaxial layer structure. For this reason a set-up was developed in which the slit is forced open with a constant radius of curvature by guiding the foil and the part of the film that is separated over a curved surface (see fig. 1b). weight
ADC-Based Palladium Catalysts for Aqueous Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling Exhibit Greater Activity than the Most Advantageous Catalytic Systems (2013)

The reaction between the equimolar amounts of cis-[PdCl2(CNR1)2] (R1 = cyclohexyl (Cy) (1), tBu (2)) and the carbohydrazides R2CONHNH2 (R2 = Ph (5), 4-ClC6H4 (6), 3-NO2C6H4 (7), 4-NO2C6H4 (8), 4-CH3C6H4 (9), 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3 (10), naphth-1-yl (11), fur-2-yl (12), 4-NO2C6H4CH2 (13), Cy (14), 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl (15), (pyrrolidin-1-yl)C(O) (16)) proceeds in refluxing CHCl3 for ca. 4 h. A subsequent workup provided the aminocarbene species cis-[PdCl2{C(NHNHC(O)R2)═N(H)R1}(CNR1)] (18–33) in good to excellent (80–95%) isolated yields. The coupling of equimolar amounts of cis-[PdCl2(CNR1)2] (R1 = Cy (1), tBu (2), 2,6-Me2C6H3 (Xyl) (3), 2-Cl-6-MeC6H3 (4)) and PhSO2NHNH2 (17) occurs similarly and affords the aminocarbenes cis-[PdCl2{C(NHNHS(O)2Ph)═N(H)R1}(CNR1)] (34–37; 60–90%). Complexes 18–37 were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), ESI+-MS, IR, and 1D (1H, 13C{1H}) and 2D (1H,1H-COSY, 1H,13C-HMQC/1H,13C-HSQC, 1H,13C-HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, as well as by X-ray diffraction for three species (34, 37, and 38).The catalytic properties of 18–37 in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling in aqueous medium were evaluated, and 18–37 showed remarkable activity (0.001–0.01 mol % catalyst loading). The scope of the catalytic process covers sterically unhindered and sterically demanding aryl bromides and aryl iodides bearing donor and/or acceptor substituents and activated aryl chlorides. All organohalides reacted with a range of arylboronic acids at 80 °C within 2 h (100 °C and 3 h for the chlorides), providing target diaryls in yields up to 99% and with maximum TONs of 9.9 × 103 (for aryl iodides), 4.7 × 104 (for aryl bromides), and 9.2 × 103 (for aryl chlorides).
Integrating biological and behavioral perspectives in the study and care of autistic individuals: the future. (1993)

The core clinical feature of autism is a profound disturbance in the emergence of social relations, apparent as early as the very first months of life and almost always by age three years. Many different theories have been proposed to explain this dramatic developmental dysfunction, including cognitive, linguistic, arousal and, most recently, "theory of mind" hypotheses. There is great heterogeneity among autistic individuals and no single explanation captures all the clinical phenomena. Because of the divergent theories and their associated treatment approaches, parents are often burdened by conflicting advice. Field trials and other studies have provided excellent diagnostic criteria for autism for DSM-IV and ICD-10, with high sensitivity and specificity. Careful definition of the clinical phenotype is essential for neurobiological, genetic and behavioral research. While many lines of evidence point to underlying disturbances in brain maturation, no specific CNS dysfunction or biological correlate has been discovered. Rigorous research is not only essential for improving the understanding and treatment of autism; such studies may also help elucidate the normal preconditions for socialization and the pathways that allow a child to enter into the world of human relationships.
Ion beam analysis of diffusion in polymers. (1996)

With the rapid spread in use of polymers the study of diffusion in them is becoming increasingly important. For a number of industrial processes diffusion coefficients and elemental distributions need to be quantified precisely. From a more scientific approach accurate models need to be devised to describe the various diffusion mechanisms involved as well as the concentration and temperature dependencies of the diffusion coefficients. Using ion beam analysis techniques (Rutherford Backscattering and Nuclear Reaction Analysis) three systems were studied. The first was an industrially relevant system of relatively small dye molecules diffusing into a number of different polymer matrices. For fixed diffusion settings, diffusion coefficients were measured and found to correlate with the matrix glass transition temperatures. Surface dye concentrations, on the other hand, were independent of matrix properties. The other two systems studied involved polymer interdiffusion. Based on different assumptions, two contradictory theories have been developed to describe the concentration dependence of the mutual diffusion coefficient; the 'slow' and 'fast' theories. In one system, blends of low molecular weight (unentangled) polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) our data followed the 'slow' theory at low temperatures and the 'fast' theory at high temperatures. An equation describing the concentration dependence of the mutual diffusion coefficient at all intermediate annealing temperatures (hence linking the 'slow' and 'fast' theories) was developed and found to describe the data accurately. In the second system, blends of entangled poly(methyl methacrylate) of several molecular weights, the mutual diffusion coefficient was found to follow the 'fast' theory at all studied temperatures. In all three systems the temperature dependence of the tracer diffusion coefficients of the various components were accurately described by the semi-empirical equations of the Free Volume theory.
Strong, Long-Term Transgene Expression in Rat Liver Using Chicken β-Actin Promoter Associated with Cytomegalovirus Immediate-Early Enhancer (CAG Promoter) (2000)

For successful gene therapy in hepatic enzyme deficiencies, it is essential to use promoters that can maintain strong transcriptional activity for the long term in the liver. Using Gunn rats, a model animal for Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I, the long-term transcriptional function of the CAG promoter (a combination of chicken beta-actin promoter and cytomegalovirus immediate-early enhancer) was evaluated in the rat liver. We constructed a plasmid pCAGGHUGT, containing expression cassettes of human bilirubin UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (BUGT) and hygromycin phosphotransferase, under the control of the CAG promoter and murine phosphoglycerate kinase promoter, respectively. Conditionally immortalized Gunn rat hepatocytes (IGRH), which had been established using mutant SV40 large T antigen ((TS)T), were transfected with pCAG-GHUGT. A stably transfected clone IGRHUGT, expressing a high level of BUGT, was obtained after selection with hygromycin. At 33 degrees C, the cells doubled in number in approximately 72 h; however, at 37 degrees C, cell proliferation stopped, indicating that the characteristic of temperature-dependent proliferation was retained in this clone. Ten million cells were injected into the spleen of syngeneic Gunn rats five times at 10-day intervals. Serum bilirubin levels were reduced by 45-50% at 70 days after the first transplantation and remained so throughout the duration of the study (120 days). These results suggested that the CAG promoter was able to maintain strong transcriptional activity in rat liver for at least 120 days.

From Single Atoms to Nanocrystals: Photoreduction of [PtCl<sub>6</sub>]<sup>2–</sup> in Aqueous and Tetrahydrofuran Solutions of PVP (2013)

Structured platinum nanoclusters Ptn (n = 5–30) capped by poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) have unique and highly attractive properties as potential selective catalysts. We show that the assembly of Pt mononuclear compounds in aqueous and tetrahydrofuran (THF) solutions under UV irradiation proceed via several steps: formation of linear Ptn clusters (n = 2–8), coalescence into mesocrystals, and transformation into Pt nanocrystals. The “quantum” size range of Ptn (n = 5–100) clusters is intermediate between those clusters with molecular properties and those with metallic properties. The PVP “cage” acts as a nano reactor and can hinder diffusion of photoexcited Pt atoms. The diffusion of the Pt from the polymer cage is strongly affected by the hydrophobic or hydrophilic property of the solution. An aqueous solution of [PtCl6]2– + PVP transforms into noncrystalline aggregates of molecules of less than 1.5–2 nm in diameter, whereas in THF solution Pt nanocrystals increase proportional to the UV irradiation time up to 10 nm in diameter. Dynamic imaging by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and low-frequency UV Raman spectra show the initial stages of Pt atoms assembled into Ptn clusters. The assignment of the Raman bands is supported by density functional theory calculations. The proposed scheme of photoinduced reactions suggests the coupling of coordinatively unsaturated Pt ions inside the amidate-rich polymeric stabilizer.
The importance of location on trust in mobile networks (2008)

Abstract: Mobile wireless networks introduce new challenges regarding security and privacy of data. On the other hand self-organization and independence of fixed infrastructure make these networks, such as mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) very attractive for military but also civilian application areas. They allow to extend the wireless link into areas with no readily available communication infrastructure. Additionally, these networks can also be used as a subsequent to the common communication environment in order to assure communication on-the-fly even if the regular network is overwhelmed, like for instance during emergency situation or during major sports or cultural events. With the purpose to overcome the security problem accompaingned with these networks, more and more research is launched in the area of Trust establishment in mobile wireless networks. However Trust in mobile network settings introduces new challenges compared to the conventional notions for infrastructure networks. Especially mobile behavior, which is enabled by wireless links, diversifies Trust research in multiple ways. Hence unfortunately, traditional security concepts, such as Public Key Infrastructures are no accurate solutions to protect sensitive communication and data in these autonomous network environments. Our paper discusses the Trust establishment in mobile wireless networks. We introduce the idea of TrustRings which enables the calculation of Trust-Values for nodes in mobile wireless networks based on an egocentric network model. Furthermore, the model takes the location and distance between communicating entities into account in order to obtain the accurate Trust-value.
Powertrain NVH: Strategic Damping & Isolation Approaches (2008)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Vehicle systems today have reached levels of optimal structural mass and stiffness distribution that combined with other system technologies have significantly increased power, torque, fuel economy, emissions, safety as well as other performance attributes. Material, process and manufacturing innovation at the component, subsystem and vehicle level have played a major role in achieving enhanced functionality and features. Depending upon the vehicle platform, total mass has decreased 30% in the last 20 years while increasing static and dynamic global stiffness characteristics by comparable amounts. Looking at the Evolution of structural material alternatives (e.g. aluminum, magnesium, polymer/plastic formulations) have driven mass reduction trends. Classical NVH approaches using a balance of damping, isolation, absorption and barrier treatment have been strongly challenged in mass and cost effective solutions. This paper reviews powertrain NVH strategies &amp; applications in damping and isolation that provide substantial mass and cost advantages in comparison to conventional methods.</div>

Combining functional and topological properties to identify core modules in protein interaction networks (2006)

Advances in large-scale technologies in proteomics, such as yeast two-hybrid screening and mass spectrometry, have made it possible to generate large Protein Interaction Networks (PINs). Recent methods for identifying dense sub-graphs in such networks have been based solely on graph theoretic properties. Therefore, there is a need for an approach that will allow us to combine domain-specific knowledge with topological properties to generate functionally relevant sub-graphs from large networks. This article describes two alternative network measures for analysis of PINs, which combine functional information with topological properties of the networks. These measures, called weighted clustering coefficient and weighted average nearest-neighbors degree, use weights representing the strengths of interactions between the proteins, calculated according to their semantic similarity, which is based on the Gene Ontology terms of the proteins. We perform a global analysis of the yeast PIN by systematically comparing the weighted measures with their topological counterparts. To show the usefulness of the weighted measures, we develop an algorithm for identification of functional modules, called SWEMODE (Semantic WEights for MODule Elucidation), that identifies dense sub-graphs containing functionally similar proteins. The proposed method is based on the ranking of nodes, i.e., proteins, according to their weighted neighborhood cohesiveness. The highest ranked nodes are considered as seeds for candidate modules. The algorithm then iterates through the neighborhood of each seed protein, to identify densely connected proteins with high functional similarity, according to the chosen parameters. Using a yeast two-hybrid data set of experimentally determined protein-protein interactions, we demonstrate that SWEMODE is able to identify dense clusters containing proteins that are functionally similar. Many of the identified modules correspond to known complexes or subunits of these complexes.
Hydroxyphthalocyanines as Potential Photodynamic Agents for Cancer Therapy (1998)

A series of benzyl-substituted phthalonitriles, substituted at the 3-, 4-, and 4,5-positions, underwent varied condensations with phthalonitrile to give a series of protected (monohydroxy- and polyhydroxyphthalocyaninato)zinc(II) derivatives which were readily cleaved to give several hydroxyphthalocyanines (ZnPc) (phthalocyanine phenol analogues). Their efficacy as sensitizers for the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer was evaluated on the EMT-6 mammary tumor cell line. In vitro, the 2-hydroxy ZnPc (32) was the most active, followed by the 2,3- and 2,9-dihydroxy ZnPc (39 and 45), with the 2,9,16-trihydroxy ZnPc (33) exhibiting the least activity. In vivo, the monohydroxy derivative 32 and the 2,3-dihydroxy derivative 39 were both efficient in inducing tumor necrosis at 1 micromol kg-1, but complete tumor regression was poor, even at 2 micromol/kg. In contrast, the 2,9-dihydroxy isomer 45, at 2 micromol kg-1, induced tumor necrosis in all animals treated, with 75% complete regression. These results underline the importance of the position of the substituents on the Pc macrocycle to optimize tumor response and confirm the PDT potential of the unsymmetrical Pcs bearing functional groups on adjacent benzene rings.
Real time ocular and facial muscle artifacts removal from EEG signals using LMS adaptive algorithm (2007)

The EEG signal is most useful for clinical diagnosis and in biomedical research. ElectroOculoGram (EOG), ElectroMyoGram (EMG) artifact are produced by eye movement and facial muscle movement respectively. An adaptive filtering method is proposed to remove these artifacts signals from EEG signals. Proposed method uses horizontal EOG (HEOG), vertical EOG (VEOG), and EMG signals as three reference digital filter inputs. The real-time artifact removal is implemented by multi-channel Least Mean Square algorithm. The resulting EEG signals display an accurate and artifact free feature.
