Feasibility and user acceptance of a personal weight management system based on ubiquitous computing (2005)

With the fast development of information and communications technology, devices with some computing power are becoming increasingly abundant in the average home. The trend for these devices to also be provided with intercommunication functionality opens up new possibilities for health care. The availability of ubiquitous computing allows the individual to perform health-related measurements, review data or consult guidelines independent of place or time, thus providing the individual with a better means to follow certain treatment programs. In this study, we set out to implement a system based on ubiquitous computing for the application of weight management using behavioral feedback. The goals were (a) to gain insights in the technical feasibility and caveats of such a system as a basis for setting up more advanced and generic infrastructures, and (b) to study the degree to whether people are actually willing to use such a technology-laden system for their health management. The results lead us to the conclusion that such a system is possible with the current technology, although many issues need to be solved before generic architectures and implementations are a reality, and that many people, especially those who have serious weight problems, are eager to use such a system.
Effects of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition on cell death and chromosome damage induced by VP16 and bleomycin (1998)

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a DNA-binding protein involved in cellular response to various genotoxic agents. To understand the role of PARP in the mechanisms which lead from specific DNA damage to cell death, we studied the effects of PARP inhibition in human lymphoblasts damaged with bleomycin (BLM) and VP16. These agents can induce DNA breakage but through different mechanisms, enabling the study of the different effects of PARP in inducing apoptosis in damaged cells. We demonstrate that in lymphoblasts VP16 treatment induces apoptosis to a greater extent than BLM treatment, and that PARP inhibition reduces VP16-induced apoptosis whereas it has no effect on BLM-induced apoptosis. After VP16 treatment with PARP inhibition, a reduction in the depletion of the proliferative compartment and a G2/M phase arrest are observed. Therefore, the increase in cell viability and the reduction in chromosome damage may both be the result of a prolonged DNA repair time. Hence, PARP appears to play a significant role in VP16-induced apoptosis and not in BLM-induced apoptosis. Since apoptosis is important in tumor treatment these findings might be useful when considering the combined employment of PARP inhibition with antineoplastic drugs. Environ. Mol.

Coherent OFDR Using Phase Decorrelated Lightwaves for Characterizing Optical Fiber Transmission Lines (1996)

Coherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (C-OFDR) using phase decorrelated lightwaves is demonstrated at a wavelength of 1.55 μm by employing a linewidth narrowed laser diode and an external electro-optical (EO) phase modulator. Rayleigh backscattering and Fresnel reflection from a 30-km-long optical fiber are observed, and a spatial resolution of 5 m is achieved at the far end of the test fiber. This is the best result to date using C-OFDR for such a long optical fiber.

Proxy-Based Distribution of Streaming Video Over Unicast/Multicast Connections TITLE2: (2001)

Multimedia streaming applications consume a significant amount of server and network bandwidth. In this paper we develop transmission schemes (SBatch, UPatch and MPatch) that exploit proxy-based prefix caching to reduce the transmission cost when part or all of the end-end path from the server to the clients is only unicast capable. We consider the problem of allocating a limited proxy buffer to a set of videos with different sizes and popularities. For a fractional caching policy which allows prefix caching, we develop a technique to analytically determine, for a given transmission scheme, the optimal proxy buffer allocation to each video that minimizes the bandwidth cost for the set. Our evaluations show that even a relatively small prefix cache can result in dramatic cost reductions, and that prefix caching significantly outperform policies that cache only entire objects at the proxy. Also proxy cache allocations that are tuned to the cost characteristics of a particular transmission scheme can significantly outperform transmission-scheme agnostic allocations. We find that carefully designed transmission schemes in conjunction with an optimal prefix caching scheme are the key to significant cost reductions over the case of transmitting a video separately to every client, when the end-end delivery path is either entirely unicast capable, or offers multicast only on the proxy-client path.

Translationally Repressed mRNA Transiently Cycles through Stress Granules during Stress (2008)

In mammals, repression of translation during stress is associated with the assembly of stress granules in the cytoplasm, which contain a fraction of arrested mRNA and have been proposed to play a role in their storage. Because physical contacts are seen with GW bodies, which contain the mRNA degradation machinery, stress granules could also target arrested mRNA to degradation. Here we show that contacts between stress granules and GW bodies appear during stress-granule assembly and not after a movement of the two preassembled structures. Despite this close proximity, the GW body proteins, which in some conditions relocalize in stress granules, come from cytosol rather than from adjacent GW bodies. It was previously reported that several proteins actively traffic in and out of stress granules. Here we investigated the behavior of mRNAs. Their residence time in stress granules is brief, on the order of a minute, although stress granules persist over a few hours after stress relief. This short transit reflects rapid return to cytosol, rather than transfer to GW bodies for degradation. Accordingly, most arrested mRNAs are located outside stress granules. Overall, these kinetic data do not support a direct role of stress granules neither as storage site nor as intermediate location before degradation.

Feedback control of local hotspot temperature using resistive on-substrate nanoheater/thermometer (2018)

This article reports the active control of a local hotspot temperature for accurate nanoscale thermal transport measurement. To this end, we have fabricated resistive on-substrate nanoheater/thermometer (NH/T) devices that have a sensing area of ∼350 nm × 300 nm. Feedback-controlled temporal heating and cooling experiments of the NH/T device confirm that the feedback integral gain plays a dominant role in device's response time for various setpoint temperatures. To further verify the integration of the feedback controller with the NH/T devices, a local tip-induced cooling experiment is performed by scanning a silicon tip over the hotspot area in an atomic force microscope platform. By carefully optimizing the feedback gain and the tip scan speed, we can control the hotspot temperature with the accuracy of ∼±1 K for a broad range of setpoints from 325 K to 355 K. The obtained tip-substrate thermal conductance, including the effects of solid-solid conduction, water meniscus, air conduction, and near-field thermal radiation, is found to be a slightly increasing function of temperature in the range of 127 ± 25 to 179 ± 16 nW/K. Our work demonstrates the reliable controllability of a local hotspot temperature, which will allow the further improvement of various nanoscale thermal metrologies including scanning thermal microscopy and nanoscale thermometry.
Instantaneous Functionalization of Chemically Etched Silicon Nanocrystal Surfaces (2016)

Remarkable advances in surface hydrosilylation reactions of C=C and C=O bonds on hydride-terminated silicon have revolutionized silicon surface functionalization. However, existing methods for functionalizing hydride-terminated Si nanocrystals (H-SiNCs) require long reaction times and elevated temperatures. Herein, we report a room-temperature method for functionalizing H-SiNC surfaces within seconds by stripping outermost atoms on H-SiNC surfaces with xenon difluoride (XeF<sub>2</sub> ). Detailed analysis of the reaction byproducts by in situ NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS provided unprecedented insight into NC surface composition and reactivity as well as the complex reaction mechanism of XeF<sub>2</sub> activated hydrosilylation.
MICROSCOPIC TREATNIENT OF THE NUCLEAR REACTION d(t, n)oL WITHIN THE ADIABATIC REPRESENTATION (1990)

The effective equation for the cluster rel~tive-motion function of the initial\nand,f~nal channels in " the nuclear reactton d+t->n+a is derived within the\nadiabatic approach. An effective energy-dependent potential is constructed by projecting\non the open channels and its asymptotics are studied at large intercluster\ndistances. The asymptotic boundary conditibns for t~e effective system are extracted\nfrom the known asymptotics of the microscopic wave function of the five-body\nsystem. The conn.ection between these equations and the resonating group model is analysed
Temporal behaviour of multipole components of the magnetic field in a small dipole magnet wound with coated conductors (2015)

To study the influence of coated-conductor magnetization on the field quality of accelerator magnets, we made a small dipole magnet consisting of four racetrack coils wound with GdBCO coated conductors and measured its magnetic field in liquid nitrogen by using rotating pick-up coils. We focused on the dipole and sextupole components (coefficients) of the magnetic field, which vary with time owing to the decay of the magnetization of the coated conductors. About 50 min (3055 s) after the current was ramped up to 50 A, the dipole coefficient normalized by the design value of the dipole component, i.e., the value calculated with the designed coil shape and the uniform current distribution in the coated conductors, increased by 7.4 × 10−4, and the sextupole coefficient normalized by the design value of the dipole component increased by 1.8 × 10−4. The magnitudes of the dipole and sextupole components depended on the excitation history of the magnet. Electromagnetic field analyses were carried out to calculate the current distributions in coated conductors, considering their superconducting properties; the dipole and sextupole coefficients were then determined from the calculated current distributions. Although the analyses were based on the two-dimensional approximation of the cross-section of the magnet, the temporal behaviours as well as the hysteretic characteristics of the calculated dipole and sextupole coefficients agree qualitatively with those of the dipole and sextupole coefficients measured in the magnet.
<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> Biofilms: a Matter of Individual Choice (2018)

<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> has the capacity to choose between two mutually exclusive lifestyles: biofilm formation and flagellum-mediated swimming motility. Interestingly, this choice is made at the individual cell level, with bacterial cells in a population expressing genes required for biofilm formation or genes required for swimming motility but not both. A bistable switch controls the biofilm-versus-swimming decision, resulting in an evolutionarily favorable strategy known as "bet hedging" that ensures that subpopulations of bacteria continue to grow as conditions change and/or become unfavorable. In a recent issue of <i>mBio</i>, J. Kampf and colleagues (mBio 9:e01464-18, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01464-18) reported the use of a combination of genetics and microfluidics to reveal that the interplay that occurs between the SinR and YmdB proteins underlies the <i>B. subtilis</i> choice between biofilm formation and swimming motility. Their report suggests that <i>B. subtilis</i> experiences selective pressure to form biofilms while maintaining reserve cell subpopulations with the capacity to swim away.
Towards active capsular endoscopy: preliminary results on a legged platform (2006)

This paper illustrates the problem of active locomotion in the gastrointestinal tract for endoscopic capsules. Authors analyze the problem of locomotion in unstructured, flexible and tubular environments and explain the reasons leading to the selection of a legged system. They present a theoretical simulation of legged capsule locomotion, which is used to define the optimal parameters for capsule design and gait selection. Finally, a legged capsule - about 3 cm3 in volume - is presented; it consists of 4 back legs whose actuation is achieved thanks to a miniaturized DC brushless motor. In vitro tests demonstrate good performance in terms of achievable speed (92 mm/min).

Renal medullary genes in salt-sensitive hypertension: a chromosomal substitution and cDNA microarray study (2002)

Substitution of chromosome 13 from Brown Norway BN/SsNHsd/Mcw (BN/Mcw) rats into the Dahl salt-sensitive SS/JrHsd/Mcw (SS/Mcw) rats resulted in substantial reduction of blood pressure salt sensitivity in this consomic rat strain designated SSBN13. In the present study, we attempted to identify genes associated with salt-sensitive hypertension by utilizing a custom, known-gene cDNA microarray to compare the mRNA expression profiles in the renal medulla (a tissue playing a pivotal role in long-term blood pressure regulation) of SS/Mcw and SSBN13 rats on either low-salt (0.4% NaCl) or high-salt (4% NaCl, 2 wk) diets. To increase the reliability of microarray data, we designed a four-way comparison experiment incorporating several levels of replication and developed a conservative yet robust data analysis method. Using this approach, from the 1,751 genes examined (representing more than 80% of all currently known rat genes), we identified 80 as being differentially expressed in at least 1 of the 4 comparisons. Substantial agreements were found between the microarray results and the results predicted on the basis of the four-way comparison as well as the results of Northern blots of 20 randomly selected genes. Analysis of the four-way comparison further indicated that approximately 75% of the 80 differentially expressed genes were likely related to salt-sensitive hypertension. Many of these genes had not previously been recognized to be important in hypertension, whereas several genes/pathways known to be involved in hypertension were confirmed. These results should provide an informative source for designing future functional studies in salt-sensitive hypertension.
Reactivity of anti-CD15 monoclonal antibody PM-81 with breast cancer and elimination of breast cancer cells from human bone marrow by PM-81 and immunomagnetic beads. (1991)

The CD15 carbohydrate antigen, lacto-N-fucopentaose III is expressed on a variety of human cancer cells including acute myeloid leukemia, small cell carcinoma of the lung, and colorectal carcinomas. We have found that cells from breast cancer cell lines and patient-derived tissue are strongly CD15 positive, as seen by binding to the PM-81 monoclonal antibody. In this report we show that monoclonal antibody PM-81 and immunomagnetic beads can remove breast cancer cells from bone marrow and thus be used as "purging" agents for autologous bone marrow transplantation. PM-81 and immunomagnetic beads removed up to 3 log of SK-BR-3 and MCF7 breast carcinoma cell line cells while minimally affecting normal hematopoietic progenitor cells. This technique may be useful for purging marrow for autologous bone marrow transplantation in breast cancer.
Performance of enhanced DuBois type water reduction catalysts (WRC) in artificial photosynthesis – effects of various proton relays during catalysis (2019)

Inspired by natural photosynthesis, features such as proton relays have been integrated into water reduction catalysts (WRC) for effective production of hydrogen. Research by DuBois et al. showed the crucial influence of these relays, largely in the form of pendant amine functions. In this work catalysts are presented containing innovative diphosphinoamine ligands: [M(ii)Cl2(PNP-C1)], [M(ii)(MeCN)2(PNP-C1)]2+, [M(ii)(PNP-C1)2]2+, and [M(ii)Cl(PNP-C2)]+ (M = Pt2+, Pd2+, Ni2+, Co2+; PNP-C1 = N,N-bis{(di(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphino)methyl}-N-alkylamine, PNP-C2 = N,N-bis{(di(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphino)ethyl}-N-alkylamine and alkyl = Me, Et, iso-Pr, Bz). Synthetic strategies and detailed characterisation are covered, including 1H-, 13C-, and 31P-NMR analysis, mass spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The catalytic properties have been explored by changing the pendant amines and auxiliary methoxy coordination sites, as well as enlarging the ligand backbone. Moreover, confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations based on XRD data in vacuo and solvent environment, two very different catalytic cycles are proposed. PNP-C1 shows a classical proton relay, whereas PNP-C2 allows an additional coordination of nitrogen, acting optionally like a pincer. Through new insights into efficiency and stability-increasing influences of proton relays in general, their number per metal centre, an enlarged ligand backbone and the use of solvato instead of halogenido complexes, substantial improvements have been made in catalytic performance over the DuBois et al. catalysts and recently self-made WRCs. The turnover number (TON) related to the single site of cost-efficient nickel WRCs is increased from 11.4 to 637, whereas a corresponding palladium catalyst gives TON as high as 2289.
A linear decoupling control for a PWM three-phase four-wire shunt Active Power Filter (2008)

The presence of current harmonics in the grid causes major problems such as overheating and electromagnetic emissions. Active Power Filters (APF) have been presented as alternative to reduce such harmonics. In this paper, a new constant-frequency control scheme based on the linear decoupling principle is proposed for a shunt three-phase fourwire APF. The APF is used to compensate the current distortion and the reactive power created by a typical industrial load. The elaboration of the control law is based on a small-signal averaged model of the converter, computed in the (d,q,0) synchronous frame. The control scheme consists of multiple-loops regulators that ensure voltage regulation at the DC side of the filter, and current wave shaping at the AC side. The control system is implemented numerically using Matlab/Simulink tool. The performance of the proposed control approach is finally discussed through the obtained simulation results.
Improved Optical Properties of Strain-Induced Quantum Dots Self-Formed in GaP/InP Short-Period Superlattices (1999)

Optical properties of multilayer quantum dots (MQDs) self-formed in the GaP/InP short-period superlattice (SL)/InGaP multilayer structures are investigated as a function of InGaP barrier thickness ( B ). Photoluminescence (PL) linewidth broadening with temperature is improved and tends to reduce by decreasing B . This is attributed to the vertical coupling effect between QDs and their vertical alignment. Temperature variation of PL properties shows the exciton behavior. At low temperatures, emissions from both bound exciton and free exciton appear under the weak excitation density condition. Integrated PL intensity is quite stable up to 120 K.
