INTERFRAGMENTARY COMPRESSION OF DIFFERENT TIBIA PLATEAU SPLIT FRACTURE FIXATION TECHNIQUES: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY (2018)

Summary Statement Tibia plateau split fracture fixation with two cancellous screws is particularly suitable for non-osteoporotic bone, whereas four cortical lag screws provide a comparable compression in both non-osteoporotic and osteoporotic bone. Angle-stable locking plates maintain the preliminary compression applied by a reduction clamp. Introduction Interfragmentary compression in tibia plateau split fracture fixation is necessary to maintain anatomical reduction and avoid post-traumatic widening of the plateau. However, its amount depends on the applied fixation technique. The aim of the current study was to quantify the interfragmentary compression generated by a reduction clamp with subsequent angle-stable locking plate fixation in an osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic synthetic human bone model in comparison to cancellous or cortical lag screw fixation. Methods Adult synthetic human tibiae with hard or soft cancellous bone were osteotomised at the lateral tibia plateau creating a split fracture (AO type 41-B1) and fixed with either two 6.5 mm cancellous, four 3.5 mm cortical lag screws or 3.5 mm LCP proximal lateral tibia plate, preliminary compressed by a reduction clamp (n = 5 per group). Interfragmentary compression was measured by a pressure sensor film after instrumentation. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni post hoc correction was performed for statistical analysis (p Results Applying a reduction clamp, interfragmentary compression was 0.6 MPa ± 0.1 in non-osteoporotic and osteoporotic bone. The locking plate was able to maintain the compression (0.5 MPa ± 0.1) in non-osteoporotic and osteoporotic bone, but it was significantly lower compared to four cortical lag screws (non-osteoporotic p = 0.01; osteoporotic p = 0.03). Comparing four 3.5 mm cortical lag screws, compression was not significantly different between the non-osteoporotic (1.7 MPa ± 0.7) and osteoporotic bone (1.4 MPa ± 0.5). Two 6.5 mm cancellous lag screws achieved significantly higher compression in non-osteoporotic (2.1 MPa ± 0.6) compared to osteoporotic (0.8 MPa ± 0.2, p = 0.01) bone. Conclusion Preliminary compression applied by a reduction clamp was maintained by angle-stable locking plates. The two 6.5 mm cancellous screw technique would especially be appropriate for young human non-osteoporotic bone, whereas the four 3.5 mm cortical screw configuration could also be applied in osteoporotic bone.

Modeling and Automated Containment of Worms (2008)

Self-propagating codes, called worms, such as Code Red, Nimda, and Slammer, have drawn significant attention due to their enormously adverse impact on the Internet. Thus, there is great interest in the research community in modeling the spread of worms and in providing adequate defense mechanisms against them. In this paper, we present a (stochastic) branching process model for characterizing the propagation of Internet worms. The model is developed for uniform scanning worms and then extended to preference scanning worms. This model leads to the development of an automatic worm containment strategy that prevents the spread of a worm beyond its early stage. Specifically, for uniform scanning worms, we are able to 1) provide a precise condition that determines whether the worm spread will eventually stop and 2) obtain the distribution of the total number of hosts that the worm infects. We then extend our results to contain preference scanning worms. Our strategy is based on limiting the number of scans to dark-address space. The limiting value is determined by our analysis. Our automatic worm containment schemes effectively contain both uniform scanning worms and local preference scanning worms, and it is validated through simulations and real trace data to be nonintrusive. We also show that our worm strategy, when used with traditional firewalls, can be deployed incrementally to provide worm containment for the local network and benefit the Internet.
A micro-SPM head array with exchangeable cantilevers (2012)

In this paper a MEMS based micro-SPM head array is proposed to enhance the performance of the currently available nano-measuring machines and effectively reduce the measurement time for large specimen. It consists of 1 × N ( N = 7 in our case) micro-SPM heads/units, realized in one chip by MEMS technique. And it can be easily extended to a micro- SPM head matrix. The main part of the micro-SPM head is the MEMS-positioning stage, which is realized on the basis of an electrostatic lateral comb-drive actuator. In order to take the advantage of the high lateral resolution of conventional cantilevers, a flexible cantilever gripper was designed to be integrated into the MEMS-positioning stage within the SPM head. Conventional cantilevers can be mechanically mounted onto the MEMS-positioning stage or dismantled from the MEMS-positioning stage after the tip is worn out. In this way, the well-designed and calibrated MEMS-positioning stage can be repeatedly and efficiently utilized. The structure design and simulation of mechanical and electrical performances of the mico-SPM head will be detailed in this paper. First experimental results proved the feasibility of the cantilever gripper design.

Unconstrained solidification and characterisation of near-eutectic Al–Cu–Ag alloys (2008)

Abstract This study focuses on the microstructure formation in two Al – Cu – Ag alloys with near-eutectic composition on either side of the α(Al)/θ-Al 2 Cu groove. The alloys solidified equiaxially with two different cooling rates for each composition of alloy. The primary phases formed are α(Al) or θ-Al 2 Cu, but univariant and invariant eutectic reactions are common. In hypoeutectic samples macrosegregation of the α(Al) phase occurred. The univariant α(Al)/θ-Al 2 Cu eutectic in these samples is formed by coupled two-phase structures. The univariant eutectic in the samples, which exhibit primary θ-Al 2 Cu, grew partially competitively due to the α(Al) single phase instability. It is suggested that the difference in solubility of the segregating element Ag in α(Al) and θ-Al 2 Cu phases and processing parameters such as cooling rates determine the resulting microstructure.
A Kalman Filter Approach to Quasi-Static State Estimation in Electric Power Systems (2006)

Static state estimation in electric power systems is normally accomplished without the use of time-history data. This paper presents preliminary work on the use of the discrete-time Kalman filter to incorporate time history into the state estimators. Transitional state equations are derived via linearization of the power flow equations. A simplified example using a decoupled real power flow solution demonstrates this technique.
A high-frequency rotating flux injection based rotor thermal monitoring scheme for direct-torque-controlled interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (2017)

Interior permanent magnet synchronous machine drives have widespread applications in electric traction systems and various industrial processes. However, prolonged exposure to high temperatures while operating can demagnetize the permanent magnets to the point of irreversible demagnetization. In addition, direct measurements with infrared sensors or contact-type sensors with wireless communication can be expensive and intrusive to the machine drive structure. This paper thus proposes a nonintrusive thermal monitoring scheme for the permanent magnets inside the direct-torque-controlled interior permanent magnet synchronous machines. By applying a high-frequency rotating flux offset to the hysteresis controllers in the motor drive, high-frequency currents can be injected into the stator windings of the machine. The permanent magnet temperature can thus be monitored based on the estimated high-frequency resistance, which is the byproduct of the induced magnet eddy current. The method is nonintrusive because it eliminates the infrared sensors and requires no hardware change to the existing motor drive, and the proposed method is validated by real-time experimental results.

A floorplanning method with topological constraint manipulation (1994)

In this paper, we propose a heuristic floorplanning method. It is based on tentative insertion of constraints, that intentionally produces redundant constraints to make it possible to search in a wide range of solution space. The proposed method reduces the total area of blocks with the removal and insertion of constraints on the critical path in both horizontal and vertical constraint graphs. Experimental results showed that the quality of solutions of the proposed method is good and even for the large number of blocks, the proposed method keeps a high quality of solution.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Line-based camera movement estimation by using parallel lines in omnidirectional video (2012)

In this paper, we propose an efficient estimation method of an omnidirectional camera movement. The proposed method is based on Structure from Motion utilizing a constraint of parallel lines. In an environment having manmade structures, parallel lines can be extracted from an omnidirectional image easily and constantly, because of its wide field of view. Parallel lines provides a valuable constraint for camera movement estimation. The proposed method can estimate 3-D camera movements by solving one degree of freedom problem three times without regard to the number of viewpoints. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
Self-Locomotive Soft Actuator Based on Asymmetric Microstructural Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene Film Driven by Natural Sunlight Fluctuation (2021)

Soft actuators and microrobots that can move spontaneously and continuously without artificial energy supply and intervention have great potential in industrial, environmental, and military applications, but still remain a challenge. Here, a bioinspired MXene-based bimorph actuator with an asymmetric layered microstructure is reported, which can harness natural sunlight to achieve directional self-locomotion. We fabricate a freestanding MXene film with an increased and asymmetric layered microstructure through the graft of coupling agents into the MXene nanosheets. Owing to the excellent photothermal effect of MXene nanosheets, increased interlayer spacing favoring intercalation/deintercalation of water molecules and its caused reversible volume change, and the asymmetric microstructure, this film exhibits light-driven deformation with a macroscopic and fast response. Based on it, a soft bimorph actuator with ultrahigh response to solar energy is fabricated, showing natural sunlight-driven actuation with ultralarge amplitude and fast response (346° in 1 s). By utilizing continuous bending deformation of the bimorph actuator in response to the change of natural sunlight intensity and biomimetic design of an inchworm to rectify the repeated bending deformation, an inchwormlike soft robot is constructed, achieving directional self-locomotion without any artificial energy and control. Moreover, soft arms for lifting objects driven by natural sunlight and wearable smart ornaments that are combined with clothing and produce three-dimensional deformation under natural sunlight are also developed. These results provide a strategy for developing natural sunlight-driven soft actuators and reveal great application prospects of this photoactuator in sunlight-driven soft biomimetic robots, intelligent solar-energy-driven devices in space, and wearable clothing.

Efficient Precision Genome Editing in iPSCs via Genetic Co-targeting with Selection (2017)

Genome editing in induced pluripotent stem cells is currently hampered by the laborious and expensive nature of identifying homology-directed repair (HDR)-modified cells. We present an approach where isolation of cells bearing a selectable, HDR-mediated editing event at one locus enriches for HDR-mediated edits at additional loci. This strategy, called co-targeting with selection, improves the probability of isolating cells bearing HDR-mediated variants and accelerates the production of disease models.

Effect of GreenshellTM Mussel on the Osteoarthritis Biomarkers and Inflammation in Healthy Postmenopausal Women: A Study Protocol for Randomized Double ‑ Blind Placebo ‑ Controlled Trial (2021)

Abstract Background: New Zealand Greenshell™ mussels (GSM; Perna canaliculus ) has recently been shown to decrease cartilage degradation in a rat model of induced metabolic osteoarthritis (MetOA). However, this effect has not been investigated in human subjects. This study aims to determine the effect of GSM powder on biomarkers of cartilage metabolism, bone resorption, and inflammation in New Zealand healthy overweight/obese postmenopausal women. Method: Fifty overweight or obese (BMI 25-35 kg/m 2 ) postmenopausal women (aged 55-75 years) will be recruited. They will be randomly assigned to receive 3 g/d whole meat GSM powder or placebo (sunflower seed protein) for 12 weeks. Data on socio-demographics, physical activity and dietary intake will be collected for each subject. Cartilage turnover biomarkers [(C-telopeptide of type II collagen (CTX-II), C-propeptide of type II procollagen (CPII), Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP)], and bone resorption marker (CTX-I) will be measured in blood and urine samples. Inflammatory status (hs-CRP and cytokine panel) will be assessed and iron status will be measured. Body composition including fat mass (FM), lean mass (LM) and fat percentage will be measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Joint pain and knee function will be assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire, respectively. Discussion: This trial will be the first to explore the effects of whole meat GSM powder on cartilage turnover, bone resorption and inflammation biomarkers in overweight/obese postmenopausal women. The results from this trial will provide evidence on the efficacy of GSM in prevention of OA. Trial registration: The study was registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR) with the number ACTRN12620000413921p.

A Hamiltonian approach to moments-based font recognition (2009)

It is known that a method to classify different shapes can be based on the computation of the moments associated to the shapes, which are defined as particular surface integrals. In this paper each shape is associated to a Hamiltonian system one trajectory of which runs along the boundary of the shape. In this way, the surface integrals defining the moments are reduced to a curvilinear integral along the boundary of the surface, thus making the computation easier. A method for obtaining a suitable Hamiltonian function is explained in details and the moments-based technique is exploited to provide a solution to the classification and recognition problem for a particular set of shapes, namely a set of fonts. An illustrative example shows the performance of the method.
Analyzing P2P Overlays with Recursive Queries (2003)

We explore the utility and execution of recursive queries as an interface for querying distributed network graph structures. To illustrate the power of recursive queries, we give several examples of computing structural properties of a P2P network such as reachability and resilience. To demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal, we sketch execution strategies for these queries using PIER, a P2P relational query processor over Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs). Finally, we discuss the relationship between in-network query processing and distance-vector like routing protocols
Methane Activation with Rhenium Catalysts. 1. Bidentate Oxygenated Ligands (2007)

Trends in methane activation have been explored for rhenium-based catalysts in conjunction with bidentate oxygenated ligands of the form (L1)(L2)Re(OH)(OH2) [L1, L2 = acac, catechol, glycol]. When placed in acidic media, the equilibrium for this reference catalyst shifts to the protonated forms (L1)(L2)Re(OH2)(OH2) in almost all cases. In all cases the activation of the reference complex proceeds through a concerted metathesis type transition state, and only one of the 13 reference complexes proceeds with methane activation through a barrier of less than 35 kcal mol-1. Study of the identity complexes (L1 = L2) revealed that protonation of the ligand oxygens is unfavorable for acac and catechol, but favorable for glycol; however in only one case is the barrier for methane activation improved by this route. Electron density on the central rhenium is the best predictor for the magnitude of the methane activation barrier; namely, increased electron density (obtained by considering lower oxidation states) on the metal leads to lower barriers. Lower oxidation states form weaker Re−O bonds, which increase lability of the leaving groups and decrease the barrier to proton transfer from methane.
Dynamic biosynthesis of heparan sulphate sequences in developing mouse brain: a potential regulatory mechanism during development (2001)

Over recent years our understanding of the functions of the heparan sulphate (HS) family of complex polysaccharides has shifted dramatically. Once seen as simply structural scaffolding in the extracellular matrix, they are now viewed as critical players in the regulatory network of cells. They are strategically located at the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix, and there has been an increasing realization that specific sequences in the HS chains are designed for selective interactions with many proteins. Functionally, these interactions result in regulation of the protein activities. It is becoming clear that HS functions as a new class of multifunctional cell regulator. There is also growing evidence that cells can dynamically alter the structure of HS sequences that they express. Here we review recent developments and describe evidence for regulated changes in the synthesis and structure of HS chains expressed during early mouse brain development. The data suggest a new concept in which dynamic changes in biosynthesis of different HS sequences create distinct cellular HS repertoires, the heparanome [1]. Their expression, in specific spatio-temporal patterns, is likely to endow organisms with novel regulatory mechanisms for controlling the activity of specific HS-binding proteins.
