Environmentally Benign Synthesis of Tetrahydroindeno[1,2-b]Pyrrole-3-carboxylate Derivatives as Potential Antiinflammatory Agents (2017)

A new series of tetrahydroindeno[1,2-b]pyrrole-3-carboxylate derivatives(4) were synthesized by reaction of 5-amino-2-mercapto benzimidazole with 1,3-dicarbonyls and activated carbonyl compounds using ceric ammonium nitrate catalyst by a three component one-pot reaction. Structures of these compounds were established on the basis of infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. The title compounds 4a-h were evaluated for antiinflammatory activity using the carrageenan-induced paw edema method at a dose of 100 mg/kg in comparison to ibuprofen as a reference drug. Compounds 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d exhibited potent antiinflammatory activity comparable to that of ibuprofen.
Modeling IT support organizations using multiple-priority queues (2012)

As IT services grow more and more complicated, and their management becomes increasingly challenging, IT support organizations assume an essential role to ensure the delivery of Service Level Objectives. What-if scenario analysis represents a very effective tool for the performance optimization of IT support organizations, as it enables an iterative and customized performance optimization process. The problem of accurately modeling IT support organizations requires the development of sophisticated models as well as dedicated parameter inference techniques and tools. This paper presents a multiple-priority queuing model suited for the reenactment of IT support groups developed from the analysis of empirical evidence, as well as a powerful method to infer the model parameters. We applied our model to reenact the behavior of a real life IT support group with our Symian simulator. The results demonstrate that multiple-priority queuing models can reproduce real life IT support groups with a high degree of accuracy.
Optical Möbius strips and twisted ribbon cloaks (2014)

Optical Möbius strips that surround points of circular polarization, C points, in a generic three-dimensional optical field are cloaked by lines of twisted ribbons attached to the C points. When cloaking occurs, the observable signed twist index that counts the number of half-twists (one or three), and also measures the handedness (right or left), of a generic Möbius strip is determined by the twisted ribbon cloaks. Although some cloaks can be detached, they can never all be removed.
TB Epidemiology and Human Genetics (2006)

The impact of tuberculosis (TB) is considerably lower than one may expect, since in the absence of immunosuppression, fewer than 10% of infected individuals will develop active disease. The relatively low proportion of individuals who progress to active disease after infection can probably be ascribed to innate resistance in most infected individuals, since vaccination using BCG or a previous episode of TB does not work reliably or effectively to confer protection in high burden parts of the world. Innate factors affecting resistance or susceptibility can be modulated by the environment and such external influences cannot be ignored. Specifically, we will address bacterial variability as well as environmental factors such as diet, smoking, helminths and hormones. We will also discuss host genes that may be involved in susceptibility or resistance at various stages of infection or disease. The discovery of as yet unknown genes impacting on TB susceptibility or disease course may lead to new insights into mechanisms of disease and novel therapies. With adaptive immunity being of little value and good TB control programmes being rare, innate resistance is still our best defence against this
LiFePO<sub>4</sub>/RGO composites synthesized by a solid phase combined with carbothermal reduction method (2018)

LiFePO4/reduced graphene oxide composites (LiFePO4/RGO) were synthesized via a simple solid phase combined with carbothermal reduction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemicaal impendence spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic charge/discharge tests were conducted to further study the electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/RGO composites. The initial discharge specific capacity of LiFePO4/RGO was 151.5 mAh g−1 at 0.1C, and after 50 cycles, it still remains 149.2 mAh g−1. The results reveal that LiFePO4/RGO composites improved the discharge specific capacity and rate charge-discharge performance.
A Flexible Analytic Model for a Dynamic Task-Scheduling Unit for Heterogeneous MPSoCs (2013)

Abstract — In this paper, a heterogeneous Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC), controlled by a dedicated task scheduling unit, is presented. This unit, known as CoreManager, is responsible for dynamic data-dependency checking, task scheduling, processing element allocation and data-transfer management. Three different CoreManager approaches are analyzed and compared. An analytical model is derived for each CoreManager implementation. The configuration parameters for the models are determined through system analysis. For this purpose, a tool flow has been developed to build the MPSoC and generate data traces. For the benchmarks employed, the relative error of the analytical model was shown to be lower than 6.3 % on component and 6.9 % on system level compared to the measurements.

Protecting future mobile access networks (2004)

Mobile access networks are evolving providing more user services as the per-user bandwidth as well as the power autonomy are increasing. Security requirements are therefore becoming more demanding since important information is at stake. The absence of a hard wired channel for the transfer of data and its replacement by the air interface is the major disadvantage in terms of security of the wireless networks and makes the task of securing access more challenging. The dominating protocol for the protection of routing messages and authentication of routing entities is discussed in this paper and potential vulnerabilities are exposed that may result in network security threats.

THE ROLE OF INTRODUCED BIVALVE MOLLUSC SPECIES IN MARICULTURE<sup>1</sup> (1983)

ABSTRACT Premeditated introductions of non‐indigenous molluscan shellfish species have been important in establishing several substantial fisheries. The North American fishery for Crassostrea gigas developed from active introductions that began in the early part of this century and continued until 1978. More recently C. gigas has been introduced to many sites in Europe, South Africa, South America, the Mediterranean, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis , has been successfully introduced to the state of Maine. An internationa code of practice for examining and effecting intentional introductions has been developed which recommends a combination of quarantine procedures and hatchery rearing to avoid accidental introduction of associated species and disease organisms. Several nations have developed comprehensive legislation to control movement of non‐indigenous species. Active movement of species for culture purposes continues, especially in Europe and the Pacific Islands.
TWENTY FIVE YEARS FIGHTING FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH AND RIGHTS: SOME PROGRESS BUT STILL A LONG WAY TO GO (2019)

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of 25 years women’s health and rights, a difficult journey with steps forward and backwards since the landmark conference in 1994 when reproductive rights were for the first time on the menu. However, although great strides have been made in reducing maternal and child mortality since then, among others by the United Nations with the establishment of the Millennium Development Goals for 2015, showing that change is possible, many countries are still lagging behind in reaching the goals. While the new global architecture, in particular with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health, ensures that these issues remain high on the political agenda, this paper argues that we must move from political commitment to action, via the creation and dissemination of research evidence. As the Founding President of the Ghent Africa Platform (GAP) at Ghent University, I still believe GAP has an important role to play regarding this international collaboration and dissemination of scientific knowledge.

Bayesian Multiple Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping for Complex Traits Using Markers of the Entire Genome (2007)

A Bayesian methodology has been developed for multiple quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping of complex binary traits that follow liability threshold models. Unlike most QTL mapping methods where only one or a few markers are used at a time, the proposed method utilizes all markers across the genome simultaneously. The outperformance of our Bayesian method over the traditional single-marker analysis and interval mapping has been illustrated via simulations and real data analysis to identify candidate loci associated with colorectal cancer.

By use of the method of atomic beam magnetic resonance, the ground-state hyperfine structure splittings in the two common gallium and thallium isotopes have been measured. The measured values are: $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}({\mathrm{Ga}}^{69})=(2677.9875\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0010)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ ${\mathrm{sec}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}({\mathrm{Ga}}^{71})=(3402.6946\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0013)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ ${\mathrm{sec}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}({\mathrm{Tl}}^{203})=(21105.447\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.005)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ ${\mathrm{sec}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$, and $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensuremath{\nu}({\mathrm{Tl}}^{205})=(21310.835\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.005)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ ${\mathrm{sec}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. A comparison of the ratio of the dipole coupling constants in the ground state of the two isotopes with the ratio of the nuclear ${g}_{I}$ factors yields the hfs anomaly. Theoretical and experimental values of the anomaly are compared.
Choice Architecture and Smartphone Privacy: There's a Price for That. (2012)

Abstract. Under certain circumstances, consumers are willing to pay a premium for privacy. We explore how choice architecture affects smartphone users ’ stated willingness to install applications that request varying permissions. We performed two experiments to gauge smartphone users ’ stated willingness to pay premiums to limit their personal information exposure when installing new applications. We found that when participants were comparison shopping between multiple applications that performed similar functionality, a quarter of our sample responded that they were willing to pay a $1.50 premium for the application that requested the fewest permissions—though only when viewing the requested permissions of each application side-by-side. In a second experiment, we more closely simulated the user experience by asking them to valuate a single application that featured multiple sets of permissions based on five between-subjects conditions. In this scenario, the requested permissions had a much smaller impact on participants’ responses. Our results suggest that many smartphone users are concerned with their privacy and are willing to pay premiums for applications that are less likely to request access to personal information. We propose improvements in choice architecture for smartphone application markets that could result in decreased satisficing and increased rational behavior.
PEN-Ivory: the design and evaluation of a pen-based computer system for structured data entry. (1994)

PEN-Ivory is a pen-based computer system that uses structured data entry for creating patient progress notes. Users make simple gestures such as circles, lines, and scratch-outs to enter medical findings from a controlled vocabulary. The result of an interaction with PEN-Ivory is a computer-generated patient progress note in English prose. We designed PEN-Ivory's user interface in a principled way. We first created multiple working prototypes, each differing in one of three user-interface characteristics. Then we empirically evaluated the prototypes in a controlled, experimental setting for their efficiencies in enabling users to create patient progress notes. The prototype that allowed the fastest data entry had the following three user-interface characteristics: it used a paging form, used a fixed palette of modifiers, and made available all findings from the controlled vocabulary at once.
Carrier-Envelope Phase stability of a mid-IR 100 kHz OPCPA source for strong-field physics (2011)

We present carrier envelope phase measurements for a 100 kHz optical parametric chirped pulse amplification source in the mid-infra-red at 3.2 microns. The source is passively CEP stabilised and displays fluctuations of <100 mrad RMS over 1 million pulses without active stabilisation.
Loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 9q and p53 alterations in human bladder cancer (2005)

These data, using a population-based sample, suggest a relation between 9q LOH and invasive stage bladder cancer, and thereby suggests that a tumor suppressor gene at this loci, in addition to p53, may be important in the development of this more aggressive form of the disease.
Roads, Rivers, and Obstacles: Optimal Two-Dimensional Path Planning around Linear Features for a Mobile Agent (1990)

We present an efficient algorithm for finding least-cost paths for an agent of negligible size across an important special case of two-dimensional terrain, terrain consisting of (1) a single isotropic homogeneous-cost-per-distance background region, (2) "roads" or narrow transportation corridors of low cost per distance, (3) "rivers" or narrow features of high crossing cost, and (4) untraversable "obstacles. " This work extends that of Mitchell (1987) by including rivers and new pruning heuristics for roads; our algorithm remains O(n 2 log n) in time complexity. We also show results of a first com puter implementation for this class of algorithms and analyze average-case performance and error sensitivity. This work applies primarily to high-level path planning for robots but also can help plan military maneuvers and guide construction of roads and pipelines.

FURTHER ACOUSTICAL STUDIES OF ATMOSPHERIC WINDS AND TEMPERATURES AT ELEVATIONS OF 30 TO 60 KILOMETERS (1955)

Abstract Work under this project was divided into three phases of field operations. The first and second phases of operation were performed in Colorado and were directed toward a study of the annual variations of winds and temperatures in the 30- to 60-kilometer region. The third phase of operation was performed in New Mexico, as part of Air Force Operation T-Day, and was directed toward a study of the diurnal variations of winds and temperatures in the 30- to 60-km region. Results of the second-phase Colorado work are discussed along with results of Operation T-Day. Results and conclusions of the first-phase Colorado work have been presented in an earlier paper and are only briefly discussed here. During the second-phase Colorado studies (31 October 1951 through 28 August 1952), approximately one measurement of high-altitude winds and temperatures was made per month. Operations were centered approximately at 39°N, 103°40′W (near Limon, Colorado), and extended radially about 200 km. This study was a conti...
Microcavity Formation in Alumina Using Ti Templates I: Formation Conditions (2009)

It has been found that fully enclosed microcavities can be engineered within Al 2 O 3 ceramics using 125 μm diameter Ti wires as templates. A high‐energy milling pretreatment of the alumina causes diffusion of the Ti into the surrounding alumina leaving all of the Kirkendall porosity consolidated into a central cavity. Control experiments using unmilled alumina confirm the necessity of the milling procedure and experiments with different milling media have excluded incidental doping by milling induced contamination as a primary driver of cavity formation. The internal microcavities produced here may lead to new applications in small scale instrumentation and implantable therapeutic devices.
Complementary RF LDMOS module for 12 V DC/DC converter and 6 GHz power applications (2011)

Addressing applications such as high performance RF power amplifiers and DC/DC converters with high conversion efficiency we demonstrate a cost effective integration of a complementary medium voltage RF LDMOS module in a 0.25 μm base CMOS flow. The integration of the NLDMOS and PLDMOS transistors requires just three additional mask steps. The NLDMOS has an excellent large signal RF performance up to 6 GHz. Key RF performance figures at 1 dB gain compression are 20 dB gain, 35 % power added efficiency and 0.4 W/mm power density. First prototypes of fabricated 12 V DC/DC down converters and 6 GHz power amplifiers verify the excellent DC and RF performance of the devices.
Hypomethylation of DNA during differentiation of friend erythroleukemia cells (1980)

DNA from mammalian cells has been shown to contain significant amounts of 5-methyl cytosine resulting from enzymatic transfer of methyl groups from s-adenosylmethionine to cytosine residues in the DNA polymer. The function of this modification is not known. We have found that DNA synthesized during chemically induced differentiation of friend erythroleukemia cells is hypomethylated, as measured by its ability to accept methyl groups transferred by homologous DNA methyltransferases in vitro. The extent of hypomethylation detected by this sensitive method is small, a decrease of less than 1.6 percent in 5-methylcytosine content. Hypomethylated DNA can be isolated from friend erythroleukemia cells grown in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide, butyrate, hexamethylene-bis- acetamide, pentamethylene-bis acetamide, and ethionine. However, hypomethylated DNA is found only under conditions where differentiation is actually induced. DNA isolated from cells of a dimethyl sulfoxide- resistant subclone grown in the presence of that agent is not hypomethylated, although DNA of these cells becomes hypomethylated after growth in the presence of inducers that can trigger their differentiation. We also find that the DNA of friend erythroleukemia cells does not become hypomethylated when the cells are exposed to inducing agents in the presence of substances that inhibit differentiation. These results suggest a close link between genome modification by methylation and differentiation of friend erythroleukemia cells.
Observation of magnetism in Au thin films (2006)

Direct magnetization measurements of thin gold films are presented. These measurements integrate the signal from the thin film under study and the magnetic contribution of the film’s interface with the substrate. The diamagnetic contribution to the signal from the bulk substrate is of the same order as the noise level. We find that thin gold films can exhibit positive magnetization. The character of their magnetic behavior is strongly substrate dependent.
Optical topography system for laser ablation plume measurements (2008)
