Spontaneous emission in the near field of two-dimensional photonic crystals (2005)

We show theoretically that photonic crystal membranes cause large variations in the spontaneous emission rate of dipole emitters, not only inside but also in the near field above the membranes. Our three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain calculations reveal an inhibition of more than five times and an enhancement of more than ten times for the spontaneous emission rate of emitters with select dipole orientations and frequencies. Furthermore, we demonstrate theoretically the potential of a nanoscopic emitter attached to the end of a glass fiber tip as a local probe for mapping the large spatial variations of the photonic crystal local radiative density of states. This arrangement is promising for on-command modification of the coupling between an emitter and the photonic crystal in quantum optical experiments.
A Quantum Logic of Down Below (2006)

This chapter is offered as a contribution to the logic of down below. We attempt to demonstrate that the nature of human agency necessitates that there actually be such a logic. The ensuing sections develop the suggestion that cognition down below has a structure strikingly similar to the physical structure of quantum states. In its general form, this is not an idea that originates with the present authors. It is known that there exist mathematical models from the cognitive science of cognition down below that have certain formal similarities to quantum mechanics. We want to take this idea seriously. We will propose that the subspaces of von Neumann-Birkhoff lattices are too crisp for modelling requisite cognitive aspects in relation to subsymbolic logic. Instead, we adopt an approach which relies on projections into nonorthogonal density states. The projection operator is motivated from cues which probe human memory.
The Reaction of Chlorite with Horseradish Peroxidase and Chloroperoxidase (1974)

Chloroperoxidase and horseradish peroxidase use NaClO2 as both the oxidant and the halogen donor for the peroxidative chlorination of monochlorodimedone. Previous studies have shown that both horseradish peroxidase and chloroperoxidase can catalyze iodination reactions with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant; however, only chloroperoxidase catalyzes chlorination reactions under these conditions. The chlorite chlorination reactions obey normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to chlorite. Free chloride ion is not required for the chlorite-promoted chlorination reaction and has no effect on the Km values for chlorite or the Vmax values for either enzyme. The Vmax for the chlorination of monochlorodimedone by chloroperoxidase when chlorite is the substrate is approximately 3 times greater than when hydrogen peroxide is the oxidant, suggesting that chlorite is an exceptionally good substrate. The pH optimum for the chlorination reaction with horseradish peroxidase as catalyst is 4.1 and with chloroperoxidase a broad optimum from pH 2.25 to 3.0 is observed. Chloroperoxidase can also utilize chlorite as the oxidant for the oxidation of classical peroxidase substrates such as guaiacol, pyrogallol, and thiourea. Horseradish peroxidase reacts with chlorite to form a relatively stable product (half-life greater than 20 min) which is spectrally indistinguishable from Compound I, the first detectable intermediate formed upon the reaction of horseradish peroxidase with peroxides. The reaction yielding the horseradish peroxidase-Compound I spectrum has a precise stoichiometry. The addition of increments of chlorite to horseradish peroxidase results in the generation of a family of spectra exhibiting sharp isosbestic points at 420, 450, and 540 nm. One mole of chlorite converts 2 moles of horseradish peroxidase to the intermediate product or products having the Compound I spectrum. The addition of reducing agents such as potassium ferrocyanide to the Compound I-type intermediate results in the rapid decomposition of the intermediate and regeneration of the spectrum of the native enzyme. Incorporation studies using 36Cl indicate that the chlorine atom derived from chlorite is incorporated directly into the substrate acceptor molecule during chlorination and does not undergo exchange with free chloride ion, even in the presence of exceedingly high levels of free halide. This suggests that the reaction of chlorite with both horseradish peroxidase and chloroperoxidase results in the formation of an enzyme-bound activated halogenating intermediate. These results, in conjunction with our previous studies on the chemical nature of Compound I, suggest that the activated halogenating intermediate may be represented as an enzyme-bound halogenium ion (—X+) or hypohalite ion (—OX+) coordinated to the heme prosthetic group.
Virtual BUS: A network technology for setting up distributed resources in your own computer (2000)

A novel distributed-resource abstraction environment is introduced. You can access any resource in a computer network as a memory mapped I/O device, as if it was attached to the local bus of your PC. This network technology gives us several benefits. From the application development viewpoint, no network-related programming is required, and we don't need to modify the applications even if the network topologies and protocols are changed. On the other hand, network maintenance and upgrading can be done anytime without worrying about the application users, because the environment completely separates or hides the network from the applications. The API (Application Program Interface), a resource abstraction mechanism, and a directory service are implemented. In addition, a reconfigurable hardware technology is adopted to perform autonomous network control using a lour layer protocol. Furthermore, we introduce a testbed that allows heterogeneous resources to be utilized, and demonstrate the feasibility of our concept using some applications.

Main-Chain Optically Active Riboflavin Polymer for Asymmetric Catalysis and Its Vapochromic Behavior (2012)

A novel optically active polymer consisting of riboflavin units as the main chain (poly-1) was prepared from naturally occurring riboflavin (vitamin B(2)) in three steps. The riboflavin residues of poly-1 were converted to 5-ethylriboflavinium cations (giving poly-2), which could be reversibly transformed into the corresponding 4a-hydroxyriboflavins (giving poly-2OH) through hydroxylation/dehydroxylation reactions. This reversible structural change was accompanied by a visible color change along with significant changes in the absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) and CD spectra of poly-2 revealed a supramolecularly twisted helical structure with excess one-handedness through face-to-face stacking of the intermolecular riboflavinium units, as evidenced by the apparent NOE correlations between the interstrand riboflavin units and intense Cotton effects induced in the flavinium chromophore regions. The hydroxylation of poly-2 at the 4a-position proceeded in a diastereoselective fashion via chirality transfer from the induced supramolecular helical chirality assisted by the ribityl pendants, resulting in a 83:17 diastereomeric mixture of poly-2OH. The diastereoselectivity of poly-2 was remarkably higher than that of the corresponding monomeric model (64.5:35.5), indicating amplification of the chirality resulting from the supramolecular chirality induced in the stacked poly-2 backbones. The optically active poly-2 efficiently catalyzed the asymmetric organocatalytic oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide, yielding optically active sulfoxides with up to 60% enantiomeric excess (ee), whose enantioselectivity was higher than that catalyzed by the monomeric counterpart (30% ee). In addition, upon exposure to primary and secondary amines, poly-2 exhibited unique high-speed vapochromic behavior arising from the formation of 4a-amine adducts in the film.
On the detection of pure sine waves embedded in a spectrum of stochastically excited p modes (2005)

The mode identification and fitting of solar oscillations provide an observational tool to derive the physical properties of the Sun's interior. What has been devised for helioseismology can now be used for future asteroseismology ground-based instruments and space missions, such as the High-Accuracy Radial Velocity Planetary Searcher (HARPS) and Convection, Rotation and Planetary Transits (COROT). In the coming decade, numerous stars will be observed for which new tools will be needed. For instance, it is very likely that g and p modes will be detected, rendering the identification difficult. In addition, modes having both characteristics, known as mixed modes, are also likely to be detected in evolved stars; these latter modes are crucial for the understanding of the internal structure of the stars as they propagate deeply inside the stars, unlike the p modes. Unfortunately, the mixing will not only occur physically but also in the frequency domain: mixed modes will appear very close to stochastically excited p modes. In this paper, we have devised a new technique for detecting long-lived modes (mixed or g modes) embedded in a common p-mode spectrum. The technique has been validated using Monte Carlo simulations. In the framework of the hare-and-hound exercise of COROT, this technique has been applied to synthetic time series of the evolved solar-like star HD 57006. The results show that we can detect most of the mixed modes embedded by the hare. We also discuss the impact of how the long-lived modes are excited on the detection level. The technique described here can be applied to stars with a mass greater than 1.2 M⊙, having evolved possibly beyond the terminal-age main sequence, such as Procyon.

Use of paired fathead minnow (<i>Pimephales promelas</i>) reproductive test. Part 1: Assessing biological effects of final bleached kraft pulp mill effluent using a mobile bioassay trailer system (2006)

Reproductive effects have been recorded in wild fish in waters receiving pulp mill effluent (PME) since the mid to late 1980s. Laboratory assays with fathead minnow (FHM; Pimephales promelas) have been developed to better understand fish responses to PME. However, observations from laboratory studies have been variable, making it difficult to establish cause/effect relationships. A lack of environmental relevance in these laboratory studies may have contributed to the variability observed. The objectives of the present study were, first, to determine the effects of bleached kraft PME (BKME) on FHM under environmentally realistic conditions (i.e., ambient water and effluent quality) and, second, to determine the suitability of pair-breeding FHM to better link BKME-induced changes in indicators at the biochemical, individual, and population levels. A mobile bioassay trailer was situated on-site at a bleached kraft mill for 60 d, allowing supply of both ambient water (Lake Superior, Canada) and final BKME. The reproductive output of FHM was initially assessed for 21 d to obtain baseline data pre-exposure. At the end of the pre-exposure period, selected breeding pairs were exposed to final BKME (100% v/v and 1% v/v) for 21 d. Results demonstrated a stimulatory response pattern at 1% BKME (e.g., increased egg production) compared to control. In the 100% treatment, spawning events were reduced and fewer eggs were produced during the first two weeks of exposure. Exposure to 100% (v/v) BKME also resulted in ovipositor development in males and development of male secondary sex characteristics in females. Obtaining pre-exposure data and use of pair-breeding FHM in this assay gave a sensitive indication of effluent effects and allowed accurate comparisons of endpoints to be made.
Design procedure for waveguide filters with cross-couplings (2003)

A new rigorous systematic design procedure for folded waveguide filters with cross couplings is presented. The procedure is a combination of a circuit model analysis and a full-wave method, and is based on tuning one dimension at a time for simple waveguide structures towards simple tuning goals. Through examples it is shown how the procedure can eliminate the need for global optimization. As a consequence of this process, the time needed for the realization of filters of this type is greatly reduced. Examples of filters designed using the described design process are given, including comparison with measurements.
Understanding the Patient Experience with Carcinoid Syndrome: Exit Interviews from a Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study of Telotristat Ethyl (2017)

Patient interviews revealed that TELESTAR patients, at baseline, were significantly affected by their high BM frequency. Patient reports of their clinical trial experience supported the significance of the primary end point and clinical responder analysis in TELESTAR, helping identify and understand clinically meaningful change produced by telotristat ethyl.
Root Cause Detection using Dynamic Dependency Graphs from Time Series Data (2018)

Change detection in system behavior and its root cause detection is essential for many large-scale systems such as, manufacturing plants, in order to keep systems running uninterrupted and avoid costly machine breakdown via predictive maintenance. In this paper, we present a novel graph based technique that uses time variant interdependencies and lagged dependencies among different components of a system to detect changes in the system behavior. We further find the root causes for these detected changes by pointing out the component and its historical values that are responsible for initiating and changing the system to the new state. The proposed mechanism extracts these time variant dependencies using a deep learning system and converts them into weighted directed graphs and applies graph based techniques for change detection. For each detected change, our system uses graph theoretic techniques to uncover the root causes for the change. Such a mechanism provides us with valuable insights about the inner workings of a system from a different perspective as opposed to traditional techniques for root cause analysis that directly apply statistical models to the time series data for analysis. Experimental results on real manufacturing data show, that we can detect changes in system behavior and accurately identify the root causes in almost 71% of the cases for which we have the ground truth. For synthetic data, our system can correctly identify root causes in 87% of the cases.
Role of Integrins and Evidence for two Distinct Mechanisms Mediating Human Colorectal Carcinoma Cell Interaction with Peritoneal Mesothelial Cells and Extracellular Matrix (1997)

Peritoneal carcinomatosis involves a series of events including tumor cell interactions with mesothelial cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). We have studied the adhesive and invasive properties of four human colorectal carcinoma cell lines (Co115, HT29, SW480, SW620) confronted in vitro with a human mesothelial cell monolayer or with the ECM proteins collagen IV, laminin-1, fibronectin, tenascin-C and vitronectin. Quantitation was achieved following staining of tumor cells with the calcein-AM fluorescent dye. We found that all four cell lines rapidly adhered to a mesothelial cell monolayer. This adhesion event was not inhibitable by anti-integrin and anti-CD44 antibodies. Following initial attachment, the SW480 and SW620 cells invaded the mesothelial cell monolayer more aggressively than HT29 and Co115 cells. All cell lines adhered to ECM proteins with each one exhibiting an individual adhesion pattern. Adhesion to matrix was completely integrin-dependent. When tested in an invasion assay, HT29 and Co115 cells crossed Matrigel-coated filters while SW480 and SW620 cells did not. This invasion was inhibited by anti-beta 1 integrin antibodies. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the initial colorectal tumor cell-mesothelial cell interaction occurs through an integrin-independent mechanism while adhesion to matrix proteins and invasion through Matrigel are integrin-dependent events. Furthermore, the different invasive capacity of SW480 and SW620 versus HT29 and Co115 cells upon interaction with a mesothelial cell monolayer or Matrigel suggests that these two invasion events may be mediated by distinct mechanisms.
Routine Nasogastric Tubes Are Not Required Following Cystectomy With Urinary Diversion: A Comparative Analysis of 430 Patients (2003)

The results of the current study suggest that gastric decompression with NGTs following cystectomy with urinary diversion may prolong gastrointestinal recovery, which may be a factor leading to increased duration of hospitalization. We propose that postoperative NGTs should not be used routinely in the management of cystectomy cases.

The Use of Subbottom Profiling in Refining Dredge Cuts for a Large‐Scale Sediment Remediation Project (2017)

A number of different techniques were employed to locate the target dredge grade on a large‐scale Canadian sediment remediation project. These techniques included various coring events, Seabed Terminal Impact Newton Gradiometer (STING) testing, and geotechnical borings. Despite these techniques, the data set for interpolation of the dredge grade was widely spaced, and some of the investigations were not specifically intended to be used for defining the dredge grade. In order to reduce the risk of extra expenses from contractor claims resulting from differing sediment conditions, more precise planning was required. Due to the size of the area and the desired accuracy, subbottom profiling was identified as a potential tool to provide high‐density coverage across the site. As with any geophysical tool, ground truth data were required to verify and aid in interpretation. This article describes how subbottom profiling was used to refine the dredge grade for the target layer, the associated challenges related to signal loss in some areas, and how they were overcome. ©2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
HiRadMat: A New Irradiation Facility for Material Testing at CERN (2011)

HiRadMat (High Irradiation to Materials) is a new facility under construction at CERN designed to provide high intensity pulsed beams to an irradiation area where material samples as well as accelerator component assemblies can be tested. The facility uses a 440 GeV proton beam extracted from the CERN SPS with a pulse length of 7.2μs, to a maximum pulse energy of 3.4 MJ. In addition to protons, ion beams with an energy of 173.5 GeV/nucleon and a total pulse energy of 21 kJ can be used. The facility is expected to become operational in autumn 2011. The first tests will include candidate materials and prototype assemblies of LHC collimators foreseen to operate at the ultimate LHC beam powers. Experiments on beam windows and high-power target material options, such as tungsten powder, are also planned. The paper will describe the layout and design parameters for the facility and the way experiments can be operated. Ideas on online and post-irradiation tests and instrumentation will be outlined.
