A top-down parsing co-processor for compilation (2003)

The architecture of a top-down parsing coprocessor is presented. This processor aims at fast compilation for programming languages in LL(1) grammar. It accepts a stream of tokens from the lexical coprocessor and produces a stream of codes representing semantic action to be taken by the CPU. The coprocessor organization has a pipeline and two register stacks. The pipeline has four stages during which the production rule for each input token is checked and the semantic rules are selected. One register stack handles the production rules, while the other register stack handles the semantic rules. Only a small set of coprocessor instructions is needed for writing the parsing code and the size of the code is less than ten coprocessor instructions. It is estimated that the parsing coprocessor could produce the codes for possible semantic action at an average rate of 2 million codes per second.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Oscillatory Shear Stress-Induced Arginase Activity May Explain Reduced Exhaled Nitric Oxide Levels after Vest Chest Physiotherapy in Cystic Fibrosis (2014)

1] demonstrates the potential of vest chest physiotherapy (VCPT) in improving airway clearance in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The authors point out that they observed a nonsignificant tendency towards higher exhaled nitric oxide (NO ) levels in CF compared to healthy control subjects which is at odds with previous findings of lower NO in CF Contrary to Sisson et al. 's hypothesis, VCPT in CF patients reduced rather than increased NO . The authors discuss this unexpected finding with regard to increased cellular NO utilisation and distal airway mucous barriers to NO diffusion.
Increased Risk of Late Posttraumatic Seizures Associated With Inheritance of APOE ϵ4 Allele (2003)

Inheritance of the APOE epsilon4 allele is associated with increased risk of late posttraumatic seizures. In this cohort, this risk appears to be independent of an effect of epsilon4 on functional outcome. A better understanding of the molecular role of APOE in neurodegenerative diseases may be helpful in developing antiepileptogenic therapies.
A web-based system for maintaining a departmental personnel list and telephone directory (2000)

Although creating an initial web site can be relatively easy, maintaining a web site and keeping its content up to date can be a challenge. Smaller organizations do not always have the resources to support dedicated web designers and authors, therefore these groups must find other strategies for keeping their web presence up to date. This paper describes an approach being taken at the Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science to maintain a departmental personnel list and telephone directory. The system is highly automated and spreads the maintenance tasks across the entire organization staff. The paper describes the architecture of the resulting system and discusses related security and implementation issues. An unusual model for maintaining quality control of web content is also presented.
Immunocytochemistry by electron spectroscopic imaging using well defined boronated monovalent antibody fragments. (1996)

Contributing to the rapidly developing field of immunoelectron microscopy a new kind of markers has been created. The element boron, incorporated as very stable carborane clusters into different kinds of peptides, served as a marker detectable by electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI)--an electron microscopic technique with high-resolution potential. Covalently linked immunoreagents conspicuous by the small size of both antigen recognizing part and marker moiety are accessible by using peptide concepts for label construction and their conjugation with Fab' fragments. Due to a specific labeling of the free thiol groups of the Fab' fragments, the antigen binding capacity was not affected by the attachment of the markers and the resulting immunoprobes exhibited an elongated shape with the antigen combining site and the label located at opposite ends. The labeling densities observed with these reagents were found to be significantly higher than those obtained by using conventional colloidal gold methods. Combined with digital image processing and analysis systems, boron-based ESI proved to be a powerful approach in ultrastructural immunocytochemistry employing pre- and post-embedding methods.

Co-channel Interference Reduction using Multi code MC-CDMA in Visual Light Communication System (2014)

본 논문에서는, Visible Light Communication(VLC) 시스템에서 다수의 LED 광 송신 환경에 따른 간섭 발생으로 인한 성능저하를 보상하여 QoS를 만족하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 가시광 통신 기술은 LED를 이용하여 조명과 동시에 데이터 전송이 가능한 융합 기술이다. 제안 시스템은 다수의 LED를 사용하여 데이터를 전송하는 환경에서 발생하는 간섭을 줄이는 기법으로, 조명 인프라를 이용한 실내 환경에서 한 개의 LED가 아닌 다수의 광원이 존재할 때 각 LED들 간의 간섭이 발생하게 된다. 또한 다수의 광원과 수신기의 경로 차이로 인한 다중 경로 신호 성분들은 상호간의 간섭으로 작용하여 ISI와 CCI를 발생시켜 시스템 성능을 열화 시킨다. 이를 해결하기 위해 다수의 광원들 간의 간섭 현상과 이로 인한 성능 저하에 대해서 분석하고, VLC 하향링크에서 채널화 코드인 Walsh Code를 확산부호로 사용하여 ISI, CCI를 제거하고 전체 시스템의 QoS를 보장하는 방법을 연구하였다. In this paper, we proposed to reduce the interference in the visible light Communication with multi-LEDs for improving the performance of BER and satisfied the QoS. LED is not only lighting device, but also transmitting device in the VLC. Our proposed system is aim to decrease the interference in the multi-LEDs. In addition, it occurred the ISI and CCI by transmitter to receiver different distance. To solve this problem, we proposed the multi-LEDs system using walsh code to reduce ISI and CCI. In addition, our proposed system is able to improve the performance of BER and satisfied the Qos to desire users.

Tuberculosis: vaccines in the pipeline (2008)

TB is presenting new challenges as a global health problem, especially with new threats of HIV coinfection and multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The current TB vaccine, Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), is the most widely used vaccine worldwide but its efficacy against pulmonary TB in adults in many high-burden countries is limited. Different vaccine strategies will probably be required for the various needs that exist within a population in which some individuals have been previously immunized with BCG, coinfected with HIV and/or latently infected with M. tuberculosis. In the last 15 years, new strategies to improve or replace BCG in the laboratory have led to several promising vaccine candidates that are actively being evaluated in human clinical trials. Some of these new vaccines may eventually be recommended for travelers to TB high-burden countries. This paper summarizes the progress of vaccine candidates in animal models to improve, replace or augment BCG vaccination.
Investigating the Nature of Our Ever Expanding Universe (2008)

Lung function decline in a modern cystic fibrosis cohort (2012)

Introduction: Though the starting point for lung function measured by spirometry in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) has improved, the annual rate of decline has not changed significantly during the critical period of adolescence. The aim of this study was to describe factors associated with longitudinal decline in lung function in a contemporary cohort of children with CF.

Methods: Best annual lung function data from children attending the CF service of the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne were reviewed to determine rate of decline in FEV1 up until time of transfer to an adult centre. Mixed multi-level modeling was used to determine the influence of age, sex, genotype (homozygous F508del), CF related diabetes mellitus (CFRD), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) infection, and body mass index (BMI) on lung function decline.

Results: Longitudinal lung function data (range 5–20 years) were obtained for 98 patients with CF (55 male) on a median 12 (range 3–16) occasions. Overall, FEV1 declined by a mean of -0.12 z-score each year (p<0.001). Homozygous F508del genotype (-0.10, p<0.01), CFRD (-0.15, p<0.01) and mucoid PsA infection (-0.09, p<0.01) were all independently associated with an increased rate of decline in FEV1 z-score. Taken together, these three factors resulted in a cumulative reduction of -0.25 FEV1 z-score (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Genotype, CFRD and PsA infection are all associated with an increased rate of decline in lung function during adolescence. How these findings relate to underlying lung structural changes, and whether PsA eradication success can influence rate of decline in future cohorts, warrants further investigation.
Influence of sediment grain size on the efficiency of focused microwave extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (1999)

The efficiency of focused microwave (FMW)-assisted extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at atmospheric pressure was investigated for sediments with different grain size distributions. The PAH contents and distribution profiles obtained by FMW extraction for a dry matrix and a remoistened dry matrix were compared with those obtained by Soxhlet extraction for a bulk matrix and six fractions. The effect of moisture depended on the composition of the matrix and the grain size: an improvement in PAH recovery with the addition of water was noted for coarse fractions, but not for fine fractions. Application to other matrices of different grain sizes and contamination levels showed that FMW-assisted extraction is a good alternative to Soxhlet extraction. FMW extraction efficiency was tested on a naturally moist sediment. PAH concentrations were compared with those obtained by extraction of dry and remoistened dry matrices by FMW extraction and with those obtained by extraction of a dry matrix by Soxhlet extraction. PAH recoveries, compared with those obtained by Soxhlet extraction, were satisfactory. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the drying step with the FMW method. The FMW technique might be suitable for field studies, for example, on a boat during an oceanographic cruise. The developed procedure cosists of an extraction step of 10 min with a few millilitres of solvent, reconcentration steps and micro-column purification. The treatment of the sample can be performed immediately after sampling. The method affords good recovery. The reproducibilities are comparable to, or better than, those obtained by conventional extraction.

The SH3p4/Sh3p8/SH3p13 protein family: Binding partners for synaptojanin and dynamin via a Grb2-like Src homology 3 domain (1997)

The GTPase dynamin I and the inositol 5-phosphatase synaptojanin are nerve terminal proteins implicated in synaptic vesicle recycling. Both proteins contain COOH-terminal proline-rich domains that can interact with a variety of Src homology 3 (SH3) domains. A major physiological binding partner for dynamin I and synaptojanin in the nervous system is amphiphysin I, an SH3 domain-containing protein also concentrated in nerve terminals. We have used the proline-rich tail of synaptojanin to screen a rat brain library by the two-hybrid method to identify additional interacting partners of synaptojanin. Three related proteins containing SH3 domains that are closely related to the SH3 domains of Grb2 were isolated: SH3p4, SH3p8, and SH3p13. Further biochemical studies demonstrated that the SH3p4/8/13 proteins bind to both synaptojanin and dynamin I. The SH3p4/8/13 transcripts are differentially expressed in tissues: SH3p4 mRNA was detected only in brain, SH3p13 mRNA was present in brain and testis, and the SH3p8 transcript was detected at similar levels in multiple tissues. Members of the SH3p4/8/13 protein family were found to be concentrated in nerve terminals, and pools of synaptojanin and dynamin I were coprecipitated from brain extracts with antibodies recognizing SH3p4/8/13. These findings underscore the important role of SH3-mediated interactions in synaptic vesicle recycling.
On the capacity of an FFH-CDMA packet radio network (1995)

A packet radio network employing FFH-CDMA as multiple access technique is studied. We focus on the acquisition process and we examine the effect of multiple-access interference. The relationship between the maximum number of tolerable interfering transmissions and the number of frequencies used in frequency hopping is investigated. The bounds to the probability of acquisition as well as approximations to them are used. The effects of other system parameters, such as the length of the signal's preamble, the number of chips of the code (frequency shifts) per bit and the number of correlators are also studied.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Calcium Metabolism and Bone Disease. A textbook for Students and Practitioners. (1968)

This delightful little volume by a fine teacher and experienced writer in the field of endocrinology and calcium metabolism fulfills a great need for the teaching of students, residents, and nonspecialists in the complicated field of calcium metabolism and metabolic bone disease. In many sections there is simplification of complicated data (perhaps at times somewhat oversimplified), but generally not without loss of accuracy. Illustrations are simple and lucid. Reproductions of photographs are excellent. The many references cited by the author are quite up to date. The organization of each short chapter is good, and it makes for easy reading. There are some minor errors and omissions. On page 38, it should be stated that sodium EDTA given intravenously is potentially harmful, especially in the patient with hypercalcemia due to cancer. On page 55, it states that hyperplasia of the parathyroid glands is due to chief cells of the water-clear type.
Phase I Trial of Recombinant Modified Vaccinia Ankara Encoding Epstein–Barr Viral Tumor Antigens in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients (2013)

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is associated with several malignancies including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a high incidence tumor in Chinese populations, in which tumor cells express the two EBV antigens EB nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) and latent membrane protein 2 (LMP2). Here, we report the phase I trial of a recombinant vaccinia virus, MVA-EL, which encodes an EBNA1/LMP2 fusion protein designed to boost T-cell immunity to these antigens. The vaccine was delivered to Hong Kong patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma to determine a safe and immunogenic dose. The patients, all in remission more than 12 weeks after primary therapy, received three intradermal MVA-EL vaccinations at three weekly intervals, using five escalating dose levels between 5 × 10(7) and 5 × 10(8) plaque-forming unit (pfu). Blood samples were taken during prescreening, immediately before vaccination, one week afterward and at intervals up to one year later. Immunogenicity was tested by IFN-γ ELIspot assays using complete EBNA1 and LMP2 15-mer peptide mixes and known epitope peptides relevant to patient MHC type. Eighteen patients were treated, three per dose level one to four and six at the highest dose, without dose-limiting toxicity. T-cell responses to one or both vaccine antigens were increased in 15 of 18 patients and, in many cases, were mapped to known CD4 and CD8 epitopes in EBNA1 and/or LMP2. The range of these responses suggested a direct relationship with vaccine dose, with all six patients at the highest dose level giving strong EBNA1/LMP2 responses. We concluded that MVA-EL is both safe and immunogenic, allowing the highest dose to be forwarded to phase II studies examining clinical benefit.
Behavior and Ecology of the White-Footed Tamarin (<i>Saguinus Leucopus</i>) in a Fragmented Landscape of Colombia: Small Bodied Primates and Seed Dispersal in Neotropical Forests (2016)

Tamarins are small-bodied Neotropical primates that mainly feed on ripe fruits and insects, and supplement their diet with plant exudates, nectar, fungi and vertebrate prey. They are important seed dispersers in Neotropical forests as they are able to disperse a large number of small and medium-sized seeds from parental trees. In this paper, we describe the diet of the white-footed tamarin ( Saguinus leucopus) and its role as seed disperser in a fragmented landscape in Colombia. During a twelve month period, we collected data on activity patterns, ranging behavior and feeding ecology, as well as on habitat-wide forest productivity. S. leucopus fed from >95 plant species and spent 17% of their time feeding. We found a positive relationship between fruit consumption and ripe-fruit availability. Dietary diversity increased during periods of fruit scarcity, when the tamarins fed more on insects and exudates. During periods of fruit scarcity, they relied more heavily on the borders of forest fragments and made occasional incursions into adjacent fragments across a matrix of pastures. They used larger areas and had larger overlapping home ranges during periods of fruit scarcity. We recovered at least 44 species of seeds effectively dispersed by tamarins, including small and medium-sized seeds (range <1–26 mm). Seeds were dispersed up to 500m from parent trees across a wide diversity of habitat types. This study provides further evidence on the important role small-bodied frugivorous primates play in the recovery of forest connectivity and in the maintenance of tropical forest diversity in human-impacted landscapes.
Pyroelectric Voltage Response to Step Signals of Infrared Radiation in Triglycine Sulphate and Strontium-Barium Niobate (1971)

Theoretical and experimental analysis of voltage transients obtained in triglycine sulphate and strontium-barium niobate in response to step radiation signals yields information important for pyroelectric ir detection. The response transients are shown to be symmetrical with respect to the electronic and thermal time constants τe and τT of the samples. When τe and τT differ appreciably, the rise of the response and its decay are exponentials whose time constants are, respectively, the smaller and the larger one from among τT and τe. The peak voltage values are proportional to the load resistance RL when τe≪τT; they become independent of RL and proportional to τT when τe≫τT. The initial slope of the response in a given sample is found to be independent of RL for a given radiation flux. The pyroelectric coefficient of a material, divided by the product of its permittivity, density, and specific heat is shown to be a figure of merit for use in pyroelectric ir detection
Nickel(II)‐binding constituents of human blood serum (1979)

Studies were undertaken to investigate the Ni(II)-binding properties of human blood serum and to identify the low-molecular-weight Ni(II)-binding constitutents in the serum. Three Ni(II)-binding fractions were obtained when labeled nickel chloride (63NiCl2) was added to the native serum. Of the total Ni(II), 95.7% was associated with albumin, 4.2% was bound to low-molecular-weight components, and a small fraction, usually less than 0.1% was associated with a high-molecular-weight protein that was eluted in the void volume of Sephadex G-150. Amino acids were shown to be responsible for the low-molecular-weight Ni(II)-binding fraction and L-histidine was found to be the main (Ni(II)-binding amino acid in human blood serum. Compared with albumin, L-histidine was shown to possess a greater affinity for Ni(II). Ni(II)-binding to human albumin became evident only when no more L-histidine was available. Since the concentration of albumin is much higher than the concentration of L-histidine in normal serum, most of the added Ni(II) was associated with albumin. The equilibria between Ni(II)-L-histidine and Ni(II)-albumin may facilitate the transport of Ni(ii) between blood and tissues.
ZEBRA cell‐penetrating peptide as an efficient delivery system in <i>Candida albicans</i> (2014)

There is increasing interest in drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, liposomes, and cell-penetrating peptides, for the development of new antimicrobial treatments. In this study, we investigated the transduction capacity of a carrier peptide derived from the Epstein-Barr virus ZEBRA protein in the pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. ZEBRA-minimal domain (MD) was able to cross the cell wall and cell membrane, delivering eGFP to the cytoplasm. Uptake into up to 70% of the cells was observed within two hours, without toxicity. This new delivery system could be used in C. albicans as a carrier for different biological molecules including peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. Thereby, in antifungal therapy, MD may carry promising bioactive fungal inhibitors that otherwise penetrate poorly into the cells. Furthermore, MD will be of interest for deciphering molecular pathways involving cell-cycle control in yeast or signaling pathways. Short interfering peptides could be internalized using MD, providing new tools for the inhibition of metabolic or signaling cascades essential for the growth and virulence of C. albicans, such as yeast-to-hyphae transition, cell wall remodeling, stress signaling and antifungal resistance. These findings create new possibilities for the internalization of cargo molecules, with applications for both treatment and functional analyses.

Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes (2002)

Recent trials have confirmed obesity as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and shown that interventions aimed at reversing the steps leading to the disease can succeed in optimal circumstances. Most of the work reviewed here focuses on interventions aimed at individuals, to alter lifestyle and to reduce the metabolic derangements known to be part of the pathways to disease. Less work has been done on broader social and psychological determinants, yet successful primary prevention may require a combination approach. Prevention requires a knowledge of the natural history of diabetes, effective and simple screening tests, and effective interventions. This chapter summarizes the available clinical trials and observational studies that address whether there are efficacious and effective interventions to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
