Orientation of α-Helical Poly(<scp>l</scp>-lysine) in Consecutively Adsorbed Polyelectrolyte Multilayers on Texturized Silicon Substrates (2001)

Alternate polyelectrolyte multilayers composed of poly(L-lysine) (PLL) in the alpha-helical state and poly(maleic acid-co-alpha-methylstyrene) (PMA-MS) were deposited by consecutively adsorbing from aqueous solutions on both unmodified and unidirectionally scratched silicon substrates. Thereby, the alpha-helical PLL rods formed in the presence of NaClO(4) were found to be significantly aligned along the scratching direction of the substrate. From the dichroic ratios of the amide I and amide II band, obtained by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, order parameters with respect to uniaxial orientation were determined using a cone distribution model and the known angles of the transition dipole moments relative to the helix axis. They ranged from S = 0.5-0.7 for the PLL rods oriented on the texturized Si substrate and S = 0.0-0.2 (S = 1 for perfect ordering) for the unoriented PLL rods in the dry and wet states, respectively. Additionally, multilayers composed of PLL and poly(vinyl sulfate) showed similar uniaxial alignment on texturized Si substrates (S = 0.6). Generally, drying the multilayers caused a certain loss of order. Surfaces of anisotropically oriented alpha-helical polypeptides could be interesting for biomimetic purposes.
Effect of Leather Chemicals on Cr(III) Removal from Post Tanning Wastewater (2018)

The effect of typical leather chemicals on removal of Cr(III)
from tannery post tanning wastewater by PAC coagulation was
investigated. It was found that all the leather chemicals
investigated could form complexes with Cr(III) through their
anionic hydrophilic groups. The determinations of fluorescence
quenching titration indicated that the Cr(III)-complexing ability
of these anionic hydrophilic groups was in the sequence of
phenolic hydroxyl of vegetable tannins and syntans > carboxyl of
acrylic resins > sulfonic acid group of fatliquors and dyes. The
complexes formed had higher hydrophobicity because a part of
anionic hydrophilic groups of leather chemicals were blocked.
The Cr(III) complexes with vegetable tannins, syntans and dyes
were in the form of hydrophobic colloid or particle due to both
the blocking effect of hydrophilic groups and the strong
hydrophobicity of benzene ring, which favored the removal of
Cr(III) from post tanning wastewater by coagulation (removal
extent 82%-99%). But the Cr(III) complexes with acrylic resins
existed as water-soluble pieces, probably because a part of free
carboxyl group still kept on the polymer chain at reaction
equilibrium, and acrylic resins had no structure/group with
hydrophobicity as strong as benzene ring. As a result, Cr(III) was
difficult to be removed from wastewater when acrylic resins
existed (removal extent
[Effect of recombinant human stem cell factor (rhSCF) on self-renewal of stem/progenitor cells of human acute myelogenous leukemia]. (1994)

Using serum-free culture system and liquid/semi-solid dual culture technique, we examined the effect of rhSCF on self-renewal of the stem/progenitor cells of human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML-CFU). The results revealed that the rhSCF as a hematopoietic growth factor (HGF) exerted its effect hierarchically earlier than interleukin-3 and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor on AML-CFU. rhSCF, whether used alone or in combination with other HGFs, showed potential maintenance of self-renewal of AML-CFU in most AML patients studied. However, considerable discrepancy existed in maintenance among various FAB types of patients or even in patients with the same FAB type. It is suggested that SCF may play an important role in the pathological development of AML.
3D Game-Based Learning System for Improving Learning Achievement in Software Engineering Curriculum (2013)

The advancement of game-based learning has encouraged many related studies, such that students could better learn curriculum by 3-dimension virtual reality. To enhance software engineering learning, this paper develops a 3D game-based learning system to assist teaching and assess the students’ motivation, satisfaction and learning achievement. A quasi-experimental design is based on the ARCS Theory (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction) to investigate the effectiveness of game-based learning strategy in 3-dimension virtual reality scenario. The students are randomly assigned into two groups for quasi-experimental design. In game-based learning, the curriculum content is mapped into the game to provide a scenario learning environment. After implementation of quasi-experimental design, the pre-test and post-test results shown that 3D game-based learning system with software engineering curriculum could achieve a better learning achievement and motivation than using traditional instruction. The statistical test displayed that learning motivations of students have significant impact on learning achievement, and learning achievements of students with game-based learning are better than those who use traditional face-to-face teaching. After re-checked the questionnaire, this paper finds that game-based learning challenging and attractiveness can lead to learners' curiosity and immersion in learning activity. And the results show that 80% students are satisfaction, and 83% students are confidence for the course learning after use the game-based learning system. Lastly, the research results could provide to related educators as references.

Further public health efforts are needed to control risk factors for vascular disease among individuals with diagnosed diabetes.
Implementation of a Rogowski coil for the measurement of partial discharges (2005)

In order to obtain partial discharge (PD) measurements a PD measuring probe based on a Rogowski coil was constructed. Up to now, Rogowski coils had been used to measure high level currents. In this article, the design of a Rogowski coil to measure very low currents, but with a very high frequency, such as partial dischages, is exposed. The Rogowski coil used as a PD transducer is very advantageous because it is inexpensive and easy to use. Besides, it provides the needed bandwidth for this application.
Phenothiazinophanes: Synthesis, Structure, and Intramolecular Electronic Communication (2008)

Ortho-phenylene, ethenylene, and ethylene-bridged phenothiazinophanes are synthesized by Suzuki coupling or McMurry dimerization and catalytic hydrogenation at ambient pressure. Intensive intramolecular electronic communication of the phenothiazinyl subunits is found according to cyclic voltammetry. In addition, the macrocycles display blue to green fluorescence with large Stokes shifts. In the solid state, the cyclophanes are arranged in unidimensional stacks. This orientation appears to be favorable for anisotropic charge transport in hole-transport materials for organic field effect transistors (OFET) applications.
Expression of the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor, mGluR4a, in the Taste Hairs of Taste Buds in Rat Gustatory Papillae. (2002)

Taste-mGluR4, cloned from taste tissues, is a truncated variant of brain-expressed mGluR4a (brain-mGluR4), and is known to be a candidate for the receptor involved in the umami taste sense. Although the expression patterns of taste- and brain-mGluR4 mRNAs have been demonstrated, no mention has so far been made of the expression of these two mGluR4 proteins in taste tissues. The present study examined the expression of taste-mGluR4 and brain-mGluR4 proteins in rat taste tissues by using a specific antibody for mGluR4a which shared a C-terminus of both taste- and brain-mGluR4, for immunoblot analysis and immunohistochemistry. Immunoblot analysis showed that both brain-mGluR4 and taste-mGluR4 were expressed in the taste tissues. Taste-mGluR4 was not detected in the cerebellum. The immunoreactive band for brain-mGluR4 protein was much stronger than that for taste-mGluR4 protein. In the cryosections of fungiform, foliate and circumvallate papillae, the antibody against taste-mGluR4 exhibited intense labeling of the taste pores and taste hairs in all the taste buds of gustatory papillae examined; the immunoreaction to the antibody against brain-mGluR4 was more intense at the same sites of the taste buds. The portions of the taste bud cells below the taste pore and surrounding keratinocytes did not show any immunoreactivities. The results of the present study strongly suggest that, in addition to taste-mGluR4, brain-mGluR4 may function even more importantly than the former as a receptor for glutamate, i.e. the umami taste sensation.
The Carboxy-Terminal Cell-Binding Domain of Thrombospondin Is Essential for Sickle Red Blood Cell Adhesion (1999)

Sickle red blood cells (SS-RBCs) have enhanced adhesion to the plasma and subendothelial matrix protein thrombospondin-1 (TSP) under conditions of flow in vitro. TSP has at least four domains that mediate cell adhesion. The goal of this study was to map the site(s) on TSP that binds SS-RBCs. Purified TSP proteolytic fragments containing either the N-terminal heparin-binding domain, or the type 1, 2, or 3 repeats, failed to sustain SS-RBC adhesion (<10% adhesion). However, a 140-kD thermolysin TSP fragment, containing the carboxy-terminal cell-binding domain in addition to the type 1, 2, and 3 repeats fully supported the adhesion of SS-RBCs (126% +/- 25% adhesion). Two cell-binding domain adhesive peptides, 4N1K (KRFYVVMWKK) and 7N3 (FIRVVMYEGKK), failed to either inhibit or support SS-RBC adhesion to TSP. In addition, monoclonal antibody C6. 7, which blocks platelet and melanoma cell adhesion to the cell-binding domain, did not inhibit SS-RBC adhesion to TSP. These data suggest that a novel adhesive site within the cell binding domain of TSP promotes the adhesion of sickle RBCs to TSP. Furthermore, soluble TSP did not bind SS-RBCs as detected by flow cytometry, nor inhibit SS-RBC adhesion to immobilized TSP under conditions of flow, indicating that the adhesive site on TSP that recognizes SS-RBCs is exposed only after TSP binds to a matrix. We conclude that the intact carboxy-terminal cell-binding domain of TSP is essential for the adhesion of sickle RBCs under flow conditions. This study also provides evidence for a unique adhesive site within the cell-binding domain that is exposed after TSP binds to a matrix.
Improving the professionalism of Wisconsin county Extension faculty through use of forage analyses and computer ration formulation programs (1986)

Use of forage analyses and the three dairy diet formulation programs has assisted Wisconsin dairy farmers to make greater progress toward highly competitive, profitable dairying. Acid· detergent fibre (ADF)has proven very satisfactory in predicting forage energy value. The equation to predict digestible dry matter (DDM = 88,9 0,779' ADF)has been in use for over 2 years and has been well accepted as an estimate of net energy· lactation or TDN for dairy diets. Neutral-detergent fibre (NDF)has been incorporated into the Badger Balancer (BB)and Total Mixed Ration (TMR)formulation programs with increased farmer satisfaction and animal performance when feeding the resulting diets. Use of 21% NDFfrom forage in the total diet dry matter has worked well to specify minimum forage in the milking cow diet. Using NDFto specify maximum forage in lactating cow diets has simplified dairy diet formulation. When using NDFto specify maximum forage, one must no longer use rule of thumb or other arbitrary limits to limit the contribution from low ADF and high NDF forages such as corn silage and grasses. S.

Optimizing CNN Model Inference on CPUs (2018)

The popularity of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models and the ubiquity of CPUs imply that better performance of CNN model inference on CPUs can deliver significant gain to a large number of users. To improve the performance of CNN inference on CPUs, current approaches like MXNet and Intel OpenVINO usually treat the model as a graph and use the high-performance libraries such as Intel MKL-DNN to implement the operations of the graph. While achieving reasonable performance on individual operations from the off-the-shelf libraries, this solution makes it inflexible to conduct optimizations at the graph level, as the local operation-level optimizations are predefined. Therefore, it is restrictive and misses the opportunity to optimize the end-to-end inference pipeline as a whole. This paper presents \emph{NeoCPU}, a comprehensive approach of CNN model inference on CPUs that employs a full-stack and systematic scheme of optimizations. \emph{NeoCPU} optimizes the operations as templates without relying on third-parties libraries, which enables further improvement of the performance via operation- and graph-level joint optimization. Experiments show that \emph{NeoCPU} achieves up to 3.45$\times$ lower latency for CNN model inference than the current state-of-the-art implementations on various kinds of popular CPUs.
INTRODUCTION (2007)

In 325 bc, alexander sailed out from the indus delta into the Ocean, the vast body of water which, according to ancient thought, encircled the world. Here he sacrificed bulls to Poseidon and, after pouring libations, hurled the golden cup and bowls into the sea as a thank-offering. The scene was hauntingly reminiscent of the ceremony conducted on the Hellespont in 334. In less than ten years, the Macedonian army had conquered the vast territories of the Achaemenid kings, including the fringe areas of the Punjab and the Indus, the most formidable empire of the ancient world. It had followed the path of unbroken victories from the familiar confines of the Aegean to the edge of the earth, overcoming everything in its way: armies, terrain, climate, all invariably hostile. Now the conquerors prepared to return to the west – some by sea, others along the coastal deserts – to consolidate their victory and contemplate the magnitude of their accomplishments. Little did they know that within two years their beloved king would be dead and their labors seemingly wasted. Most of those who returned to Europe were impoverished, their health broken by years of physical hardship. Others, if they did not die on campaign, were destined never to see Macedonia again, embroiled instead in the bitter struggles of Alexander's successors.
Inhibition of Immunologic and Nonimmunologic Stimulation-Mediated Anaphylactic Reactions by the Aqueous Extract of<i>Mentha arvensis</i> (2003)

The effect of aqueous extract of Mentha arvensis L. var. piperascens Malinv. (Labiatae) (MAAE) on immunologic and nonimmunologic stimulation-mediated anaphylactic reactions was studied. Nonimmunologic anaphylactic reaction was induced by compound 48/80 injection. MAAE (0.005 to 0.5 g/kg) inhibited systemic anaphylactic reaction induced by compound 48/80. Immunologic anaphylactic reaction was generated by sensitizing the skin with anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE followed 48 h later with an injection of antigen. MAAE (0.001 to 1 g/kg) dose-dependently inhibited passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) when intraperitoneally, intraveneously and orally administered. MAAE (0.001 to 1 mg/ml) dose-dependently inhibited the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMC) activated by compound 48/80 or anti-DNP IgE. Moreover, MAAE (0.1 mg/ml) had a significant inhibitory effect on anti-DNP IgE-mediated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production. These results indicate that MAAE inhibits immunologic and nonimmunologic stimulation-mediated anaphylactic reactions and TNF-alpha production from RPMC.

Crystal and Molecular Structures of Diethyl 6-[4-(4′-Nitrophenylazo)phenoxy]-hexylmalonate and its 2′-Nitrophenyl Isomer (1995)

Abstract The crystal and molecular structures of diethyl 6-[4-(4′-nitrophenylazo)phenoxy]hexylmalonate (1) as a comonomer in the synthesis of liquid-crystalline polymers and its 2′-nitrophenyl isomer (2) have been determined by X-ray analysis. Both compounds crystallize in space group P1 with two molecules per unit cell and the following lattice parameters. 1: a = 7.995(2), b = 10.699(2), c = 15.021(4) Å, a = 95.04(2), β = 96.54(2), γ = 94.72(3)°. 2: a = 8.912(2), b = 9.664(2), c = 16.064(4) Å, α = 98.68(2), β = 97.54(1), γ = 105.11(1)°. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined to R (wR) values of 0.082 (0.068) and 0.071 (0.076), respectively. The molecules have an optimum stretched shape excepted one of their two ethoxycarbonyl groups which is perpendicularly oriented to the molecular long axis. The molecular packing in the crystal can be described in terms of a sheet structure in which the sheets are penetrated by the laterally branched ethoxycarbonyl groups of neighboring sheets.
Heat fractionation and thermotolerance: a review. (1978)

A rational approach to the design of clinical protocols combining fractionated hyperthermia plus X-irradiation or hyperthermia plus chemotherapy requires an understanding of the biology of fractionated heat alone. Mammalian cells growing in vitro can dramatically increase their tolerance to thermal damage (i.e., reduce the cellular inactivation rate) after prior heat conditioning. Although the mechanism(s) for this cellular thermotolerance is still unknown, it is apparent that the thermal history, the heat fractionation interval, and the recovery conditions all modify significantly the degree of thermotolerance subsequently exhibited. At the tissue level, the role of cellular thermotolerance is further complicated by host physiological mechanisms. Few data are available on heat fractionation in vivo, and the relative importance of physiological versus cellular effects remains to be defined.

Squirrel (2014)

In IaaS clouds, virtual machines are booted on demand from user-provided disk images. Both the number of virtual machine images (VMIs) and their large size(GBs), challenge storage and network transfer solutions, and lead to perceivably slow VM startup times. In previous work, we proposed using small VMI caches (O(100MB)) that contain those parts of a VMI that are actually needed for booting. Here, we present Squirrel, a fully replicated storage architecture that exploits deduplication, compression, and snapshots from the ZFS file system, and lets us keep large quantities of VMI caches on all compute nodes of a data center with modest storage requirements. (Much like rodents cache precious food in many distributed places.) Our evaluation shows that we can store VMI caches for all 600+ community images of Windows Azure, worth 16.4TB of raw data, within 10GB of disk space and 60MB of main memory on each compute node of our DAS-4 cluster. Extrapolation to several thousands of images predicts the scalability of our approach.
Optimum control beam angle for a biased optical bistable device (1987)

[Analysis of soil bacterial diversity by using the 16S rRNA gene library]. (2008)

The dominant species of bacteria populations are proteobacteria in the typical vegetable soil of Beijing and Shandong areas. But bacterial diversity in the two typical vegetable soil samples was reduced. This phenomenon may be directly related to continuous cultivation for many years and plant a single vegetable species. At the same time, this phenomenon may also be an important reason to cause vegetable soil diseases widespread occurred and soil degradation.
The rot fungus Botryodiplodia theobromae strains cross infect cocoa, mango, banana and yam with significant tissue damage and economic losses (2014)

Botryodiplodia theobromae, a common rot fungus, causes serious economic losses in cultivation of many different crops such as cocoa, mango, banana and yam. Determination of infectious routes of plant pathogens and their mechanisms of infection are of great importance in any disease control programme. Until this work, no investigation had been made into cross infectivity of different isolates of the fungus in Ghana. The aim of the study therefore was to investigate cross infectivity of various B. theobromae isolates from cocoa, mango, banana and yam. Mature fruits of cocoa, mango and banana and yam tubers with symptoms of B. theobromae rot were collected from farms within four regions in Ghana for fungal isolation. The isolated fungi from the four crops were developed into pure cultures on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Five-day old pure cultures were separately inoculated into healthy mango fruits and cocoa pods. This was followed by daily measurement of lesion diameter, and observation of the fruit internal tissue damage caused by the fungi infection. The results indicated that the symptoms of rot and mycelia characteristic of the B. theobromae were visible within two days. The cocoa, mango, banana and yam isolates of B. theobromae were found to be virulent with similar pathological effects in the experimental crops, that is, cocoa and mango. It is concluded from this work that B. theobromae isolates from the four different crops, that is, cocoa, mango, banana and yam in Ghana’s forest agricultural zones are infectious and have damaging effects on other neighbouring crops with economic consequences. The findings cast doubts on the mixed- or inter-crop system which is usually adopted to control fungal rot in plantation farms. Key words: Botryodiplodia theobromae, cross infectivity, mixed-crop system, inter-cropping.
