Highly Efficient Phosphorescent White Organic Light-Emitting Devices with a Poly(N-vinylcarbazole) Host Layer (2011)

We have fabricated phosphorescent white organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs) with a spin-coated poly(Nvinylcarbazole) [PVK] host layer. Iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)-pyridinato-N,<TEX>$C^{2'}$</TEX>]picolinate (FIrpic), tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium(III) [<TEX>$Ir(ppy)_3$</TEX>], and tris(2-phenyl-1-quinoline)iridium(III) [<TEX>$Ir(phq)_3$</TEX>], were used as the blue, green, and red guest materials, respectively. The PVK was mixed with FIrpic, <TEX>$Ir(ppy)_3$</TEX>, and <TEX>$Ir(phq)_3$</TEX> molecules in a chlorobenzene solution and spin-coated in order to prepare the emission layer; 3-(4-biphenylyl)-4-phenyl-5-(4-tertbutylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ) was used as an electron transport material. The resultant device structure was ITO/PVK:FIrpic:<TEX>$Ir(ppy)_3:Ir(phq)_3$</TEX>/TAZ/LiF/Al. The electroluminescence, efficiency, and electrical conduction characteristics of the WOLEDs based on the doped PVK host layer were investigated. The maximum current efficiency of the three wavelength WOLED with the doped PVK host was 19.2 cd/A.
The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) as a Mediator of Adverse Immune Reactions (2014)

Small molecular weight chemicals are abundant in the environment. They can be important players in normal physiology, can have toxic potential, or both (depending on the dose). The AhR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) is a transcription factor, which becomes activated by a range of small molecular weight chemicals, its so-called “ligands.” AhR activation leads to the induction of metabolizing enzymes, and the induction of cellular programs and adaptive cell differentiation. This chapter is concerned with immune modulation by environmental AhR activation, either by xenobiotic ligands that are considered immunotoxic or by physiological ligands, which drive the appropriate immune responses. Xenobiotic ligands include the infamous environmental pollutant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and other persistent polycyclic hydrocarbons. Physiological ligands appear to be generated endogenously, or come from plants and are part of the diet. Overall, the role of AhR in the immune system is now firmly established, yet much remains to be learned regarding the mechanisms and its therapeutic application.
Experimental demonstration of multiple-scattering suppression in quasielastic-light-scattering spectroscopy by homodyne coincidence techniques (1981)

Multiple-scattering artifacts are a not uncommon difficulty in applications of quasielastic-light-scattering spectroscopy (QELSS). An earlier proposal [G. Phillies, J. Chem. Phys. 74,260 (1981)] for a two-beam, two-detector light-scattering spectrometer, which is only sensitive to singly scattered photons, is subject here to an experimental test. The device is found to work essentially as predicted. The diffusion coefficient of $0.091\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\mu}$m polystyrene spheres in water is concentration independent for solute volume fraction \ensuremath{\lesssim}0.01. Multiple scattering does not have a significant effect on the QELSS spectrum of bovine serum albumin at a protein concentration of 20 wt.%.
Fragmentation of DNA affects the accuracy of the DNA quantitation by the commonly used methods (2013)

Our study has confirmed that the level of fragmentation of DNA has significant impact on accuracy of DNA concentration measurement with two of three mostly used methods (PicoGreen and qPCR). Only spectrophotometric measurement was not influenced by the level of fragmentation, but sensitivity of this method was lowest among the three tested. Therefore if it is possible the DNA quantification should be performed with use of equally fragmented control DNA.
MagicFace (2017)

Augmented Reality (AR) is coming of age and appearing in various smartphone apps. One emerging AR type uses the front-facing camera and overlays a user's face with digital features that transform the physical appearance, making the user look like someone else, such as a popstar or a historical character. However, little is known about how people react to such stepping into character and how convincing they perceive it to be. We developed an app with two Egyptian looks, MagicFace, which was situated both in an opera house and a museum. In the first setting, people were invited to use the app, while in the second setting they came across it on their own when visiting the exhibition. Our findings show marked differences in how people approach and experience the MagicFace in these different contexts. We discuss how realistic and compelling this kind of AR technology is, as well as its implications for educational and cultural settings.
A Tutorial on Robot Calibration with Hand-Mounted Cameras (1995)

ABSTRACTThis tutorial, which is on the subject of using hand-mounted cameras for robot calibration, compares the basic principles of “single-stage” methods, that calibrate simultaneously the robot and the cameras, and those of “two-stage” methods, that first calibrate the cameras and then calibrate the robot. Distinction is made between stereo and monocular camera systems. This article addresses the pros and cons of the various techniques and summarizes open research issues.
Time-Periodic Avalanche Breakdown at the Edge Termination of Power Devices (2008)

We show that the "variation of lateral doping" (VLD) edge termination technique (Fig. 1) exhibits a surprisingly high robustness in the avalanche regime. This is the consequence of a self-limiting time-periodic current filamentation mechanism, which prevents the VLD structure from being destroyed, in contrast to stable stationary current filaments staying permanently at the same location as it is observed in the commonly used "junction termination extension" (JTE) structure (Fig. 1). Our findings are based on detailed numerical device simulations, which are corroborated by measured data from test devices.
Proposal of Neotype Strains for Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Tsenkovskii) van Tieghem, Leuconostoc dextranicum (Beijerinck) Hucker and Pederson, and Leuconostoc cremoris (Knudsen and Sorensen) Garvie (1979)

National Collection of Dairy Organisms strains 523, 529, and 543 are proposed as the neotype strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides (Tsenkovskii) van Tieghem, L. dextranicium (Beijerinck) Hucker and Pederson, and L. cremoris (Knudsen and Sørensen) Garvie, respectively. Descriptions of the three strains are given.
Intra-articular injection of somatostatin in knee osteoarthritis: clinical results and IGF-1 serum levels. (1994)

Recently somatostatin (SST) intra-articular administration has been used in the treatment of some rheumatoid diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis with encouraging results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of SST intra-articularly injected, involving 20 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Treatment consisted of 4 injections, administered weekly, each of 750 mcg SST. Additionally, in six of them we evaluated the circulating levels of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 at the base-line time and then every 7 days (immediately before each dose of SST). The results revealed an improvement in pain and in joint function after intra-articular SST, confirmed by statistical analysis. The circulating levels of IGF-1 did not show significant variations following intra-articular administration of SST. The excellent tolerability and the absence of unwanted side-effects with SST allow us to foresee that intra-articular SST could be used in cases of painful knee osteoarthritis, especially in those patients in which other drugs are not appropriate. Moreover, in the absence of modifications of serum levels of IGF-1, SST could be used in athletes.
Role of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Healing after Impacted Mandibular 3rd Molar Surgery (2011)

The eye is a vital organ not only in terms of vision but also being an important component of facial expression.Throughout history, human eye has been mentioned as the most precious of gifts . The rehabilitation of a patient who hassuffered from an ocular loss , requires a prosthesis that will provide the optimum cosmetic and functional results. A 45year-old male reported to the Department of Prosthodontics, Darshan dental college,Udaipur,Rajasthan, with a missingleft eye. Treatment was initiated with psychological counselling and reassured treatment outcome regularly during treatment.Treatment of such cases includes implants and acrylic eye prosthesis. Although ocular implant eye prosthesis hassuperior outcome, due to economic factors it may not be advisable in all patients. So a custom-made ocular prosthesis isa good alternative. A case of a custom-made ocular acrylic prosthesis is presented here, which had acceptable fit, retentionand esthetics.

The Compaction of Sediments and its Bearing on some Geophysical Problems (1960)

Experiments were undertaken to verify, under high pressures, the linear relation postulated by Terzaghi between the equilibrium voidratio (∈) of a sediment and the logarithm of the applied pressure (p). Samples of Gault, Oxford Clay, Keuper Marl, Globigerina Ooze and Terrigenous Mud were subjected to maximum pressures between 250 and 840 kg/cm2. Certain departures were found from Terzaghi's relation. However, they do not appear to be such that large errors would arise in assuming the validity of Terzaghi's relation up to, say, 1 000 kg/cm2. The void-ratio at unit pressure (∈1) was found to be proportional to the compression index (the coefficient of the logarithmic term in Terzaghi's relation). This suggests that if sediments reach a state of no voids, the pressure at which it is reached is the same for all of them. From the data obtained in the present experiments a pressure of about 2 500 kg/cm2 is estimated for this state. Casagrande's suggestion that if an undisturbed pre-stressed sample of a sediment is re-subjected to pressure, the slope of the ∈-p curve would show a discontinuity at the pre-stress value was verified under high pressure. An estimate of the overburden eroded from the top of the Athleta zone of the Oxford clay is made from such experiments. Depth-density curves for the sediments concerned in the above experiments are presented. These calculations show that where compaction following Terzaghi's relation is the only process involved, the state of no voids is reached at about 10 000 m depth of burial. Theoretical calculations of the heat conductivity of a mass of porous sediments are given in the paper. It is shown that the conductivity of the first 10 m of Globigerina Ooze, a typical deep sea sediment, should be expected to be reduced to two-thirds that of the constituent grains, owing to the presence of the water-filled voids. The mechanism of compaction is discussed. An expression similar to Terzaghi's relation has been derived from certain considerations involving the energy needed to break the bonds between grains. The approach suggests that it should be possible to calculate the value of the compression index theoretically for a clay of known lattice structure.

Protein tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of primary response genes by interleukin 11 in B9-TY1 cells. (1993)

Interleukin (IL) 11 is a multifunctional cytokine derived from bone marrow stromal cells. To understand the mechanisms by which IL-11 exerts its pleiotropic actions, we have analyzed IL-11-mediated signal transduction pathways in IL-11-dependent B9-TY1, which is a subclone of an IL-6-dependent B-cell hybridoma, B9. IL-11 stimulation of B9-TY1 cells resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 97/95 kilodalton cellular protein in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was inhibited by tyrosine kinase inhibitors genistein and herbimycin A, but not by a serine/threonine kinase inhibitor, H7. We next examined the early nuclear events in the IL-11-triggered intracellular signaling cascade. The data showed that tis11, tis21, and junB early response genes were rapidly activated following IL-11 treatment. The kinetic studies indicated that activation of tis11 and junB genes peaked at 30-60 min and then declined slowly afterward. The tis21 gene was constitutively expressed, and the level of tis21 mRNA was significantly increased and maintained at the elevated level following IL-11 stimulation. Inhibitor studies with genistein, herbimycin A, and H7 revealed that tyrosine kinases and H7-sensitive serine/threonine kinases are required for the IL-11-mediated activation of tis11, tis21, and junB genes. Using a variety of known protein kinase inhibitors or activators, we have demonstrated that H7-sensitive protein kinases activated by IL-11 are distinct from those of well-characterized protein kinase-second messenger systems.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
The ePhilanthropy revolution. (2001)

"The e-philanthropy revolution is here to stay, and it will transform charitable giving in as profound a way as technology is changing the commercial world. Charities that have dismissed e-philanthropy, as a fad, or run from it in confusion, will, sooner or later, need to become reconciled to it. If they don't, they risk losing touch with donors and imperiling the vitality of their work."

Three-dimensional analysis and visualization of regional MR signal intensity distribution of articular cartilage (2002)

The aim of this study was to develop a technique for analyzing and visualizing the regional, three-dimensional signal intensity distribution of articular cartilage in MR images, as a potential surrogate marker of structural or biochemical alterations in early osteoarthritis. Exemplary MR-images of human patellae were acquired at a resolution of 1.5 x 0.31 x 0.31 mm(3), using a gradient-echo sequence with water excitation, and by combining three data sets to secondary images of proton density. After segmentation of the cartilage outlines, these were transferred to the other images. Contiguous slices were automatically divided into sub-regions that extend from the surface to the bone interface (layers) as well as from medial to lateral (sections). The signal intensity was then calculated and projected onto a three-dimensional representation of the articular surface, either by averaging through the depth (sections) or by visualizing the signal intensity at distinct levels in depth (layers). The exemplary data indicate that the reproducibility for regional analyses is in the same range as for the entire patellar cartilage, and that the distribution patterns of proton density delineated with MRI are in agreement with the literature. In conjunction with suitable MR protocols, this post-processing technique has potential to allow for detection and quantification of early degenerative processes in cartilage, before macro-morphological lesions occur.
A load leveling support methodology for networking (1976)

Networking provides an effective means for resource sharing; however, its utility for load leveling requires further demonstration. This paper examines obstacles to load leveling and concludes that the key issues relate to the possible loss of control over remotely processed jobs and data. Although an organizational framework necessary to provide appropriate control exists, the technological support mechanism necessary for control in the form of processing guarantees has not yet been developed. Such development requires an essentially real time control capability for determining both the feasibility of accepting remote jobs as well as the guarantees which can be stipulated when such jobs are offered for processing. The key component of this capability is shown to be a very fast analytically driven simulation technique which can be invoked at a given site each time a job is offered for processing. We note in passing that this control capability can be viewed as the “other side” of control limits. That is, while control limits are concerned with determining when system performance has strayed out of bounds, a control capability is concerned with dynamic control of system workload to keep system performance within bounds.

Regulation of cancer cell migration and invasion by sphingosine-1-phosphate (2010)

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid that has been implicated in regulation of a number of cancer cell malignant behaviors, including cell proliferation, survival, chemotherapeutic resistance and angiogenesis. However, the effects of S1P on cancer cell migration, invasion and metastasis, are perhaps its most complex, due to the fact that, depending upon the S1P receptors that mediate its responses and the crosstalk with other signaling pathways, S1P can either positively or negatively regulate invasion. This review summarizes the effects of S1P on cancer cell invasion and the mechanisms by which it affects this important aspect of cancer cell behavior.
Congestion Control and Routing over Challenged Networks (2012)

This dissertation is a study on the design and analysis of novel, optimal routing and rate control algorithms in wireless, mobile communication networks. Congestion control and routing algorithms upto now have been designed and optimized for wired or wireless mesh networks. In those networks, optimal algorithms (optimal in the sense that either the throughput is maximized or delay is minimized, or the network operation cost is minimized) can be engineered based on the classic time scale decomposition assumption that the dynamics of the network are either fast enough so that these algorithms essentially see the average or slow enough that any changes can be tracked to allow the algorithms to adapt over time. However, as technological advancements enable integration of ever more mobile nodes into communication networks, any rate control or routing algorithms based, for example, on averaging out the capacity of the wireless mobile link or tracking the instantaneous capacity will perform poorly. The common element in our solution to engineering efficient routing and rate control algorithms for mobile wireless networks is to make the wireless mobile links seem as if they are wired or wireless links to all but few nodes that directly see the mobile links (either the mobiles or nodes that can transmit to or receive from the mobiles) through an appropriate use of queuing structures at these selected nodes. This approach allows us to design end-to-end rate control or routing algorithms for wireless mobile networks so that neither averaging nor instantaneous tracking is necessary.

Superoxide Generation Links Protein Kinase C Activation to Impaired ATP-Sensitive K <sup>+</sup> Channel Function After Brain Injury (1999)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE--Endothelin-1, in concentrations similar to that present in cerebrospinal fluid after fluid percussion brain injury (FPI), increases superoxide anion (O2-) production. Endothelin-1 also contributes to altered cerebral hemodynamics after FPI through impairment of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channel function through protein kinase C (PKC) activation. Generation of O2- additionally occurs after FPI. Nitric oxide and cGMP elicit pial artery dilation through KATP channel activation. The present study was designed to determine whether PKC activation generates O2-, which, in turn, could link such activation to impaired KATP channel function after FPI. METHODS--Injury of moderate severity (1.9 to 2.1 atm) was produced by the lateral FPI technique in anesthetized newborn pigs equipped with a closed cranial window. Superoxide dismutase-inhibitable nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction was determined as an index of O2- generation. RESULTS--Phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (10(-6) mol/L), a PKC activator, increased superoxide dismutase-inhibitable NBT reduction from 1+/-1 to 37+/-5 pmol/mm2. Staurosporine (10(-7) mol/L), a PKC antagonist, blocked the NBT reduction after phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate and blunted the NBT reduction observed after FPI (1+/-1 to 15+/-2 versus 1+/-1 to 5+/-1 pmol/mm2 after FPI in the absence versus presence of staurosporine). Exposure of the cerebral cortex to a xanthine oxidase O2--generating system increased NBT reduction in a manner similar to FPI and blunted pial artery dilation to the KATP channel agonists cromakalim and calcitonin gene-related peptide, the nitric oxide releasers sodium nitroprusside and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine, and the cGMP analogue 8-bromo-cGMP (10+/-1% and 21+/-1% versus 4+/-1% and 9+/-1% for 10(-8) and 10(-6) mol/L cromakalim before and after activated oxygen-generating system exposure). CONCLUSIONS--These data show that PKC activation increases O2- production and contributes to such production observed after FPI. These data also show that an activated system that generates an amount of O2- similar to that observed with FPI blunted pial artery dilation to KATP channel agonists and nitric oxide/cGMP. These data suggest, therefore, that O2- generation links PKC activation to impaired KATP channel function after FPI.
