Ein Mikroflugzeug zur genauen Kartierung ohne Passpunkte am Boden (2014)

Diese Studie soll das Potential von Navigationstechnologien aufzeigen. Diese TechÂ­ nologien werden zur Bestimmung der Position und der Ausrichtung von MikrodrohÂ­ nensystemen (Micro Aerial Vehicle, MAV) genutzt, deren Gewicht 5kg nicht Ã¼berÂ­ schreitet. Diese MAVs sind sehr flexibel und kÃ¶nnen sich in unwirtlichen oder fÃ¼r den Menschen unzugÃ¤nglichen Umgebungen fortbewegen. Die mangelnde PrÃ¤zision in der Positionsbestimmung und der eigenen Ausrichtung verringert den Wert der von diesen MAVs aufgenommenen Bilder. Dieses Defizit beschrÃ¤nkt ihren Einsatz auf die indirekte Georeferenzierung. [Cette Ã©tude vise Ã dÃ©montrer le potentiel de technologies de navigation. Ces tech- nologies servent Ã dÃ©terminer la position et la direction de systÃ¨mes de microdrones (Micro Aerial Vehicle, MAV) dont le poids ne dÃ©passe pas 5kg. Ces MAV sont trÃ¨s flexibles et capables de se mouvoir dans des environnements rudes et inaccessibles pour lâhomme. La prÃ©cision manquante de la dÃ©termination de la position et de sa propre direction diminue la valeur des images prises par ces MAV. Ce dÃ©ficit limite leur utilisation Ã un gÃ©orÃ©fÃ©rencement indirecte.]

A 2′,4′-Bridged Nucleic Acid Containing 2-Pyridone as a Nucleobase: Efficient Recognition of a C⋅G Interruption by Triplex Formation with a Pyrimidine Motif (2001)

Significantly enhanced binding affinity to C⋅G base pairs without loss of sequence selectivity is achieved by using a nucleotide containing a 2-pyridone and a 2′-O,4′-C-methylene-bridged nucleic acid analogue (PB, see picture). The degree of stabilization of the triplex formed enables C⋅G interruptions in a homopurine⋅homopyrimidine double-stranded DNA to be detected.
Consistent risk group-associated differences in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 vpr, vpu and V3 sequences despite independent evolution (1996)

Human immunodeficiency virus 1 type vpr, vpu and V3 sequences from 15 homosexual men and 19 intravenous drug users in the Amsterdam Cohort studies were analysed. Previously, we reported that V3 domains of viruses from drug users are distinguishable from those of homosexual men on the basis of two silent mutations. Phylogenetic analysis of vpr, vpu and V3 shows that differences in all three regions correlate with risk group. Two positions in both vpr and vpu were found to differ significantly between the risk groups. The distinguishing positions were confirmed for sequences from 11 Scottish and four German samples. The three regions show relatively independent evolution patterns; they resulted in different phylogenies, the only stable clustering being that based on the risk group distinction. Pairwise differences between sequences of the genes were moderately correlated (around 0.30). Surprisingly, when only silent changes are counted, the correlations dropped almost to zero, indicating that the evolution towards independence was more advanced in the silent than in the non-silent positions. This suggests that selection at the amino acid level is not the primary driving force for the independent evolutionary behaviour of the genes. Recombination, combined with restrictions on certain amino acids because of epistatic interactions between the genes, could be an alternative explanation of this phenomenon.
Applications and interest of chitin, chitosan and their derivatives in enology (2005)

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This review treats of the possible use interest of chitin, chitosan and derivatives in enology. Chitosan and chitin are polysaccharide polymers containing more than 5 000 glucosamine and acetylglucosamine units, respectively, and their molecular weights are over one million Daltons. Chitin is found in fungi, arthropods and marine invertebrates. Commercially, chitin is derived from the exoskeletons of crustaceans (shrimp, crab and other shellfish). Chitosan is obtained from chitin by a deacetylation process. An alternative can be the obtention of chitin and chitosane derivatives from fungi source and has been developed by Kitozyme Firm.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Chitin, the polysaccharide polymer from which chitosan is derived, is a cellulose-like polymer consisting mainly of unbranched chains of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Deacetylated chitin, or chitosan, is comprised of chains of D-glucosamine. When ingested, chitosan can be considered as a dietary fiber.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The use of chitin, chitosan and derivatives should be favorable for differents aspects of wine production, in particular for : stabilization, clarification, deacidification, removal of heavy metals (lead, cadmium) or major metals (iron , copper), elimination of ochratoxin A, enzymes and pesticides.&lt;/p&gt;
Sequential‐rotation arrays of circularly polarized aperture antennas in the MCM‐D technology (2005)

Abstract This paper describes the design and measurement of a 2 × 2 sequential‐rotation array (SRA) of circularly polarized antenna elements. A larger 4 × 4 array is also realized by connecting four 2 × 2 SRA subarrays by using a corporate feeding network. The feeding networks of these arrays are built with CPW lines using MCM‐D technology. The arrays operate in the K ‐band at around 25 GHz. The analysis is carried out both theoretically and experimentally. The proposed arrays enjoy high impedance bandwidth, high circular polarization bandwidth, and good isolation between the RHCP and the LHCP modes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Detection, Origin and Effect of Ultra-Low Platinum Contamination on Diesel-SCR Catalysts (2008)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This paper discusses the poisoning of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst by trace levels of platinum originating from an upstream diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). A diesel aftertreatment system consisting of a DOC, urea based SCR Catalyst and a DPF was aged and evaluated on a 6.4 liter diesel engine dynamometer. The SCR catalyst system consisted of an Fe-zeolite catalyst followed by a Cu-zeolite catalyst. After approximately 400 hours of engine operation at varied exhaust flow rates and temperatures, deactivation of the SCR catalyst was observed. A subsequent detailed investigation revealed that the Cu catalyst was not deactivated and the front half of the Fe-based catalyst showed severe deactivation. The deactivated portion of the catalyst showed high activity of NH&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; conversion to NO&lt;sub&gt;x&lt;/sub&gt; and N&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O formation. The cause of the deactivation was identified to be the presence of trace Pt contamination. The contamination level was less than 0.002wt% that could not easily be detected by a conventional X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method. The detection of trace Pt was made at first using a newly developed ethylene hydrogenation reaction method. The reaction system was built in-house for measuring the conversion of ethylene to ethane at room temperature over a catalyst monolith core. The system allowed the detection of Pt metal below 0.001wt%. The presence of Fe, Cu, or Ni did not interfere with the ethylene hydrogenation technique. The sublimation of Pt from an upstream DOC onto Fe-based catalysts was demonstrated experimentally in the laboratory using the new technique. In the aftertreatment system studied, the Fe catalyst acted as a buffer to trap Pt sublimed from the upstream DOC shielding the Cu catalyst from Pt contamination. The effect of DOC aging conditions on Pt sublimation and subsequent Pt contamination on the downstream SCR catalyst was also investigated.&lt;/div&gt;
The Mycoplasma hominis P120 membrane protein contains a 216 amino acid hypervariable domain that is recognized by the human humoral immune response (1997)

In the antigenically heterogeneous species Mycoplasma hominis a monoclonal antibody, mAb 26.7D, was previously found to recognize a 120 kDa polypeptide from M. hominis 7488. This antibody did not react with the type strain PG21. The homologous gene from M. hominis PG21 was cloned and sequenced and found to have a sequence identity of 91% with the gene of strain 7488. One hypervariable and two semivariable regions were detected. The epitope for mAb 26.7D was mapped to the hypervariable domain by expression of various parts of this domain in Escherichia coli using expression vector systems. A polyclonal antiserum (pAb 121) generated against the hypervariable region of P120 from PG21 identified the P120 homologue in M. hominis PG21. Fusion proteins of the hypervariable and constant parts of the proteins were constructed and tested for reactivity with 21 human sera. Twelve sera reacted with the 7488 hypervariable fusion protein, but only four reacted with PG21 hypervariable fusion protein. No reactivity was seen with a fusion protein containing part of the constant region of P120. Gene fragments amplified from 18 M. hominis isolates by PCR confirmed the heterogeneity of the hypervariable domain. Based on restriction endonuclease cleavage patterns of the hypervariable domain the 18 isolates could be divided into four cases. Reactivity with both mAb 26.7D and pAb 121 confirmed these classes. The hypervariable, but not the constant, part of P120 was recognized by the human humoral immune response. Such a variable domain may be important in evasion of the host's immune response, and thus aid survival of the micro-organism.

(1) The mixed terminal ligand iron-sulfur clusters [F eIL 3][Fe4S4I3L] and [Fe4S4I2L '2] (2) with the neutral ligands L = (M e2N )2CS and L' = (C4H 9N H )2CS have been synthesized by the reaction o f F eI2L2 with 1.5 equivalents o f Fe(C O )5 and 2 equivalents o f sulfur and by the reaction o f F eI2L '2 with 3 equivalents o f Fe(CO)^ and 4 equivalents o f sulfur, respectively. The crystal structures o f 1 and 2 were determined from single crystal X -ray diffraction data. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 968.6( 1), b = 1466.2( 1), c = 1679.1(1) pm, a = 91.51(1),/?= 93.43( 1), y = 90.82( 1)°, V = 2379.2 * 106 pm 5, Z = 2, R = 0.054. 2 crystallizes in the m onoclinic space group P2 Jn with a = 930.2(1), b = 1666.1(1), c = 2335.6(1) pm, β = 97.26°, V = 3 5 90.8 x 106 pm 3, Z = 4. R = 0.055. The anion [Fe4S4I3L] o f 1 exhibits a nearly undistorted [Fe4S4]2+ core. The F e - S distance to the thiourea ligand is found at 230.6 pm. The m ost striking feature o f the neutral cluster o f 2 is the very short F e - F e distance (268.7 pm) between the iron atom s with thiourea ligation which is possibly a consequence of back-donation. The F e - S thiourea distances in 2 were found to be 230.8 and 231.5 pm , respectively.
Zebularine treatment is associated with deletion of <i>FT</i>‐<i>B1</i> leading to an increase in spikelet number in bread wheat (2018)

The number of rachis nodes (spikelets) on a wheat spike is a component of grain yield that correlates with flowering time. The genetic basis regulating flowering in cereals is well understood, but there are reports that flowering time can be modified at a high frequency by selective breeding, suggesting that it may be regulated by both epigenetic and genetic mechanisms. We investigated the role of DNA methylation in regulating spikelet number and flowering time by treating a semi-spring wheat with the demethylating agent, Zebularine. Three lines with a heritable increase in spikelet number were identified. The molecular basis for increased spikelet number was not determined in 2 lines, but the phenotype showed non-Mendelian inheritance, suggesting that it could have an epigenetic basis. In the remaining line, the increased spikelet phenotype behaved as a Mendelian recessive trait and late flowering was associated with a deletion encompassing the floral promoter, FT-B1. Deletion of FT-B1 delayed the transition to reproductive growth, extended the duration of spike development, and increased spikelet number under different temperature regimes and photoperiod. Transiently disrupting DNA methylation can generate novel flowering behaviour in wheat, but these changes may not be sufficiently stable for use in breeding programs.
Optimizing Training and Feedback for Spatial Intercell Interference Cancellation (2011)

In this paper, we investigate spatial intercell interference cancellation - an efficient technique to mitigate intercell interference in multicell networks. We consider a practical model for channel state information (CSI), where the transmit CSI is acquired through downlink training and uplink feedback. Due to the requirement of channel information from multiple base stations, the training and feedback design is quite different from conventional single-cell processing systems. We optimize training and feedback, where both analog and digital feedback is considered. For analog feedback, it is shown that the downlink training optimization provides a more significant performance gain than feedback optimization; while conversely for digital feedback over a finite-rate feedback channel, the feedback bit allocation is more important than the training optimization.
Structure-Aware Trail Bundling for Large DTI Datasets (2020)

Creating simplified visualizations of large 3D trail sets with limited occlusion and preservation of the main structures in the data is challenging. We address this challenge for the specific context of 3D fiber trails created by DTI tractography. For this, we propose to jointly simplify trails in both the geometric space (by extending and adapting an existing bundling method to handle 3D trails) and in the image space (by proposing several shading and rendering techniques). Our method can handle 3D datasets of hundreds of thousands of trails at interactive rate, has parameters for the most of which good preset values are given, and produces visualizations that have been found, in a small-scale user study involving five medical professionals, to be better in occlusion reduction, conveying the connectivity structure of the brain, and overall clarity than existing methods for the same data. We demonstrate our technique with several real-world public DTI datasets.
Investigation of the piezoelectric polarization in (In,Ga)N/GaN multiple quantum wells grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (2002)

We have studied the structural and optical properties of a series of (In,Ga)/GaN multiple quantum wells with identical thicknesses but varied In content grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Careful choice of the growth parameters returns samples with smooth and abrupt interfaces. The shift of the photoluminescence transition energy with externally applied biaxial tension was investigated. We observed a redshift for small In contents while a blueshift was detected for higher In contents. This result is in qualitative agreement with self-consistent band profile calculations taking into account both band gap deformation potentials and piezoelectric polarization charges in these structures. However, the reduction of the polarization induced quantum-confined Stark effect is well in excess of that conventionally calculated for this material system. We attribute this observation to a substantial deviation of the piezoelectric polarization constants of strained layers from those calculated for unstrained material. This finding is shown to be in agreement with recent calculations of the piezoelectric polarization charges for biaxially strained (Al,Ga,In)N layers.
Characteristic Evaluation of Linear Resonant Actuator Utilizing Electrical Resonance (2018)

Linear resonant actuators (LRAs) have been used in a wide range of applications because they utilize mechanical resonance and operate at high efficiency. However, the amplitude of LRAs severely decreases when external load is applied. To solve this problem, we applied PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control to an LRA, and the mover amplitude remained constant against an external load. When a large external load was applied with the target voltage of PID control high, however, input power reached maximum and the amplitude did not follow the target value. As a solution, it is effective to utilize electrical resonance and generate large current. In this paper, we propose a control method to generate an electrical resonance. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through dynamic characteristic analysis employing two-dimensional finite element method and measurements.
Radiation-resistant erbium-doped-nanoparticles optical fiber for space applications (2012)

We demonstrate for the first time a radiation-resistant Erbium-Doped Fiber exhibiting performances that can fill the requirements of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers for space applications. This is based on an Aluminum co-doping atom reduction enabled by Nanoparticules Doping-Process. For this purpose, we developed several fibers containing very different erbium and aluminum concentrations, and tested them in the same optical amplifier configuration. This work allows to bring to the fore a highly radiation resistant Erbium-doped pure silica optical fiber exhibiting a low quenching level. This result is an important step as the EDFA is increasingly recognized as an enabling technology for the extensive use of photonic sub-systems in future satellites.
Podocyte-Specific GLUT4-Deficient Mice Have Fewer and Larger Podocytes and Are Protected From Diabetic Nephropathy (2013)

Podocytes are a major component of the glomerular filtration barrier, and their ability to sense insulin is essential to prevent proteinuria. Here we identify the insulin downstream effector GLUT4 as a key modulator of podocyte function in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Mice with a podocyte-specific deletion of GLUT4 (G4 KO) did not develop albuminuria despite having larger and fewer podocytes than wild-type (WT) mice. Glomeruli from G4 KO mice were protected from diabetes-induced hypertrophy, mesangial expansion, and albuminuria and failed to activate the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. In order to investigate whether the protection observed in G4 KO mice was due to the failure to activate mTOR, we used three independent in vivo experiments. G4 KO mice did not develop lipopolysaccharide-induced albuminuria, which requires mTOR activation. On the contrary, G4 KO mice as well as WT mice treated with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin developed worse adriamycin-induced nephropathy than WT mice, consistent with the fact that adriamycin toxicity is augmented by mTOR inhibition. In summary, GLUT4 deficiency in podocytes affects podocyte nutrient sensing, results in fewer and larger cells, and protects mice from the development of DN. This is the first evidence that podocyte hypertrophy concomitant with podocytopenia may be associated with protection from proteinuria.

Architecture Aware Latency Constrained Sparse Neural Networks (2021)

Acceleration of deep neural networks to meet a specific latency constraint is essential for their deployment on mobile devices. In this paper, we design an architecture aware latency constrained sparse (ALCS) framework to prune and accelerate CNN models. Taking modern mobile computation architectures into consideration, we propose Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD)-structured pruning, along with a novel sparse convolution algorithm for efficient computation. Besides, we propose to estimate the run time of sparse models with piece-wise linear interpolation. The whole latency constrained pruning task is formulated as a constrained optimization problem that can be efficiently solved with Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM). Extensive experiments show that our system-algorithm co-design framework can achieve much better Pareto frontier among network accuracy and latency on resource-constrained mobile devices.
Optimal design of batch‐storage network using periodic square wave model (2002)

Abstract This study is to find the analytic solution for determining the optimal capacity (lot size) of a multiproduct, sequential, multistage production and inventory system to meet the finished product demand. It overcame the limitation of the classical lot sizing method developed based on the single product and single‐stage assumption. The superstructure of the plant consisted of a network of serially and/or parallel interlinked batch processes and storage units. The processes involve chemical reactions with multiple feedstock materials and multiple products, as well as mixing, splitting, or transportation of materials. The objective function for optimization is minimizing the total cost composed of setup and inventory holding costs, as well as the capital costs of constructing processes and storage units. The resulting simple analytic solution can greatly enhance the proper and quick investment decision for the preliminary plant design problem confronted with diverse economic situations.
Effects of sensor cleaning on the classification rate for an electronic nose (2003)

The electronic nose (E-Nose) is an instrument for measuring odors in air samples. In many applications processing samples rapidly to reduce testing costs is a goal. In this study, we examine the impact of eliminating the sensor cleaning step that is customarily inserted between measurements. We have found that cleaning the sensors does improve classification accuracy, but not significantly in some cases. Future studies to characterize optimal operating sequences for E-Nose devices are planned.
In-Body to On-Body Ultrawideband Propagation Model Derived From Measurements in Living Animals (2015)

Ultrawideband (UWB) radio technology for wireless implants has gained significant attention. UWB enables the fabrication of faster and smaller transceivers with ultralow power consumption, which may be integrated into more sophisticated implantable biomedical sensors and actuators. Nevertheless, the large path loss suffered by UWB signals propagating through inhomogeneous layers of biological tissues is a major hindering factor. For the optimal design of implantable transceivers, the accurate characterization of the UWB radio propagation in living biological tissues is indispensable. Channel measurements in phantoms and numerical simulations with digital anatomical models provide good initial insight into the expected path loss in complex propagation media like the human body, but they often fail to capture the effects of blood circulation, respiration, and temperature gradients of a living subject. Therefore, we performed UWB channel measurements within 1-6 GHz on two living porcine subjects because of the anatomical resemblance with an average human torso. We present for the first time, a path loss model derived from these in vivo measurements, which includes the frequency-dependent attenuation. The use of multiple on-body receiving antennas to combat the high propagation losses in implant radio channels was also investigated.
