&lt;i&gt;Determination of Fundamental Mechanical Properties of Biomass using the Cubical Triaxial Tester to Model Biomass Flow&lt;/i&gt; (2020)

<b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> The flowability of biomass is an indicator of the relative easiness with which biomass will flow and handle. Unfortunately, this term of flowability is not defined with first-principle based theories. The measurements of flowability are often conducted based on empirical or tertiary experiments. This status quo impedes advancing the design and operation of biomass handling systems by employing engineering principles. It is imperative to establish an experimental protocol that minimizes empirical aspects of flowability characterization to account for the variability of biomass properties. Cubical triaxial tester (CTT) is a true triaxial tester with a flexible pressure application membrane that is capable of determining fundamental mechanical properties of bulk biomass with minimal confounding effects of the test device. This study demonstrates the operational principles of the cubical triaxial tester and the procedure of triaxial tests. Parameters of Mohr-Coulomb, Modified Drucker-Prager, and Cam-Clay model parameters are determined for milled Corn stover and Douglas fir with two sets of triaxial tests, i.e., hydrostatic compression triaxial test and conventional compression triaxial test. The determination of bulk mechanical properties pertains to the flow characteristics of biomass can be performed unambiguously owing to the operational principle of CTT that is applying stresses in principal directions and measuring strains in corresponding principal directions. This paper will highlight the advantages of a CTT in the characterization of mechanical properties of bulk biomass, which is a steppingstone for engineering a reliable biomass handling.
Magnitude and Quality of Vaccine-Elicited T-Cell Responses in the Control of Immunodeficiency Virus Replication in Rhesus Monkeys (2008)

While a diversity of immunogens that elicit qualitatively different cellular immune responses are being assessed in clinical human immunodeficiency virus vaccine trials, the consequences of those varied responses for viral control remain poorly understood. In the present study, we evaluated the induction of virus-specific T-cell responses in rhesus monkeys using a series of diverse vaccine vectors. We assessed both the magnitude and the functional profile of the virus-specific CD8(+) T cells by measuring gamma interferon, interleukin-2, and tumor necrosis factor alpha production. We found that the different vectors generated virus-specific T-cell responses of different magnitudes and with different functional profiles. Heterologous prime-boost vaccine regimens induced particularly high-frequency virus-specific T-cell responses with polyfunctional repertoires. Yet, immediately after a pathogenic simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) challenge, no significant differences were observed between these cohorts of vaccinated monkeys in the magnitudes or the functional profiles of their virus-specific CD8(+) T cells. This finding suggests that the high viral load shapes the functional repertoire of the cellular immune response during primary infection. Nevertheless, in all vaccination regimens, higher frequency and more polyfunctional vaccine-elicited virus-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses were associated with better viral control after SHIV challenge. These observations highlight the contributions of both the quality and the magnitude of vaccine-elicited cellular immune responses in the control of immunodeficiency virus replication.
Quantitation of Minimal Residual Disease in Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Tryptase Monitoring Identifies a Group of Patients with a High Risk of Relapse (2005)

A persistently elevated tryptase level in AML in CR is indicative of minimal residual AML and associated with a high risk of relapse.
Distributed Multiuser MIMO for LiFi: Experiments in an Operating Room (2021)

Networked optical wireless communication, also denoted as LiFi, is expected to play an important role in so-called smart hospitals. In this paper, we present the first experimental study of LiFi in an operating room at Motol University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. First, we perform one-to-one measurements using an optical transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) and observe that channels with a free LOS provide sufficient signal strength for mobile communication inside the operating room. Then we combine the individual LOS links into a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) link using four distributed transmitters representing a wireless infrastructure, and six distributed receivers representing medical devices. In this configuration, at least two strong singular values of the MIMO channel matrix are observed which allow spatial multiplexing. By appropriately clustering the transmitters and selecting the users, mobile devices can be served in parallel. For data transmission, several multiplexing schemes such as time-division multiple access (TDMA) with one and two best links, TDMA with spatial reuse, space-division multiple access (SDMA) with two best links with and without zero forcing (ZF) are considered. Results show that SDMA with ZF increases the data rate by 2.7 times compared to baseline TDMA, resulting in a total data rate of 600 Mbit/s.
THE RESPONSE OF SELECTED Phaseolus vulgaris L. CULTIVARS TO OZONE UNDER CONTROLLED FUMIGATION AND AMBIENT FIELD LEVELS (1982)

In 1977, a cross section of the Phaseolus vulgaris L. world collection was screened for ozone insensitivity in fumigation chambers. A number of cultivars were selected for their high level of insensitivity to ozone (O 3 ). These selections, along with three cultivars reported as highly insensitive and a number of white bean cultivars, were further evaluated under more stringent conditions in a controlled environment as well as under field conditions over a 2-yr period. All the white bean cultivars were sensitive to O 3 under controlled conditions, but under field conditions later maturing cultivars escaped serious injury from ambient O 3 levels. Early-maturing white bean cultivars tended to suffer reduced yields and earlier senescence compared with plots chemically protected from ambient O 3 injury. The yields of cultivars selected as O 3 insensitive in chamber fumigations were not affected by ambient field O 3 levels in the field trials.
Study of very forward energy and its correlation with particle production at midrapidity in pp and p-Pb collisions at the LHC (2022)

The energy deposited at very forward rapidities (very forward energy) is a powerful tool for characterising proton fragmentation in pp and p-Pb collisions. The correlation of very forward energy with particle production at midrapidity provides direct insights into the initial stages and the subsequent evolution of the collision. Furthermore, the correlation with the production of particles with large transverse momenta at midrapidity provides information complementary to the measurements of the underlying event, which are usually interpreted in the framework of models implementing centrality-dependent multiple parton interactions.Results about very forward energy, measured by the ALICE zero degree calorimeters (ZDCs), and its dependence on the activity measured at midrapidity in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s} $ = 13 TeV and in p-Pb collisions at $ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} $ = 8.16 TeV are discussed. The measurements performed in pp collisions are compared with the expectations of three hadronic interaction event generators: PYTHIA 6 (Perugia 2011 tune), PYTHIA 8 (Monash tune), and EPOS LHC. These results provide new constraints on the validity of models in describing the beam remnants at very forward rapidities, where perturbative QCD cannot be used.
Self-reported smell and taste changes are early indicators of the COVID-19 pandemic and of the effectiveness of political decisions (2020)

In response to the COVID-19, many governments have taken unprecedented measures in peacetime, to avoid an overflow of intensive care units and critical care resuscitation units (CCRUs). Due to the heavy societal and economic impact of measure such as the lockdown1, accurate means to characterize the spread of the disease would be extremely helpful for the reopening strategies. Concurrently, smell and taste changes have been identified as among the most specific symptoms of COVID-192,3. Here, we show that self-reports of smell/taste changes are more closely associated with hospital overload and are much earlier than the current governmental indicators. We also show a decrease of new onset as early as 5 days after the lockdown enforcement, which is consistent with a rapid effect of the lockdown on the pandemic. Cross-country comparisons show countries with the most stringent lockdown measures (France and Italy) present a faster decline in new reports of the onset of smell/taste changes after the lockdown than a country with less stringent measures (United Kingdom). Public health decision makers could thus monitor self-reported changes in the ability to smell or taste i/as an early and specific indicator of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ii/to evaluate the success of reopening strategies.
Fungal Jewels: Secondary Metabolites (2017)

Fungal natural products are friends and foes of humans such as deleterious mycotoxins, cytotoxic, carcinogenic compounds or beneficial compounds such as antibiotics, fungicides, insecticides, antiviral and antitumor metabolites. Understanding fungal diversity and estimation of fungal species on our planet poses a great challenge to researchers. This complexity is further multiplied by secondary metabolite diversity of fungi, which requires interdisciplinary studies. It is extremely important to understand the fungal secondary metabolism to stop human, animal and plant diseases caused by fungi and harvest their valuable metabolites. Furthermore, many secondary metabolite gene clusters are silenced under laboratory conditions. It is vital to develop effective methods to activate those clusters in order to discover novel potent metabolites. This e-book is a compilation of original review articles contributed by leading fungal secondary metabolite researchers with a wide range of expertise. Important aspects of fungal secondary metabolism, including regulation, genome mining, evolution, synthetic biology and novel methods have been discussed. This book will be a great source to those people, who are interested in understanding overall structure, diversity and regulation of production of these tiny but precious chemicals.
Reducing Plug Loads in Office Spaces: Hawaii and Guam Energy Improvement Technology Demonstration Project (2014)

As part of its overall strategy to meet its energy goals, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) partnered with the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to rapidly demonstrate and deploy cost-effective renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. This project was one of several demonstrations of new or underutilized commercial energy technologies. The common goal was to demonstrate and measure the performance and economic benefit of the system while monitoring any ancillary impacts to related standards of service and operation and maintenance (O&M) practices. In short, demonstrations at naval facilities simultaneously evaluate the benefits and compatibility of the technology with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) mission, and with NAVFAC's design, construction, operations, and maintenance practices, in particular. This project demonstrated the performance of commercially available advanced power strips (APSs) for plug load energy reductions in building A4 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), Hawaii.
Distribution of copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and arsenic in the surface sediments off the coast of northwestern Alaska (1971)

Increasing interest in potentially harmful substances utilized and discarded by man has raised question about the normal distribution of chemical elements in the natural environment. This interest prompted a baseline study of a pristine region off the northern coast of Alaska. Information was gathered on currents, water clarity, nutrients, temperature and salinity, zooplakton, benthic communities, neritic fauna, bird and mammal population and pesticide residues, sediment composition and chemistry of the sediments and their interstitial waters. This information will provide a base for ascertaining and evaluating future changes and for assessment of the potential hazard in this region and ecosystems elsewhere.
On the Use of an ADSL2+ Testbed for Video Quality Assessment (2009)

In this paper we share our experience in building an ADSL video delivery test-bed. As a result, we are able to measure the impact of important parameters such as the loop length, the presence of background traffic and line protection against transmission errors on video quality. We show that although these access technologies promise a broadband pipe and low delay communication, a careful configuration of line parameters is paramount to achieve optimal access and is needed for the success of multimedia triple play (3P) services. We particularly analyze the delay, jitter, packet loss and bitrate consumption obtained from real ADSL measurements. These results are an important step towards understanding the adequate deployment of such services. As a special case, we study the effect of repetitive noise on SDTV.
A Markov Chain Approach to Randomly Grown Graphs (2008)

A Markov chain approach to the study of randomly grown graphs is proposed and applied to some popular models that have found use in biology and elsewhere. For most randomly grown graphs used in biology, it is not known whether the graph or properties of the graph converge (in some sense) as the number of vertices becomes large. Particularly, we study the behaviour of the degree sequence, that is, the number of vertices with degree 0, 1, …, in large graphs, and apply our results to the partial duplication model. We further illustrate the results by application to real data.
My current indications for hip resurfacing (2020)

Abstract: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is a viable option for young male patients with end stage osteoarthritis. The controversy surrounding the technique has resulted in a decline in worldwide numbers being performed. However, with appropriate patient selection and well designed and proven implants it offers results equal or superior to that of a standard total hip replacement in this high demand population. In this focused paper we present the factors taken into consideration when selecting patients for the procedure in order to maximise positive outcomes.
Nucleation and growth of monodisperse droplets in a binary-fluid system (1990)

Mixtures of polyisoprene and poly(ethylene-propylene) have been studied using time-resolved elastic light scattering. For off-critical quenches just into the two-phase coexistence region, highly monodisperse spheres are observed, whose radii grow with a power law R(t)=${\mathit{R}}_{0}$${\mathit{t}}^{1/2}$. The monodispersity and growth law are explained as a heterogeneous nucleation process with a simple model equation for the growth of isolated spheres, and allow the study of the kinetics of domain growth for metastable thermodynamic processes in unprecedented detail.
Automated extraction of Tree-Adjoining Grammars from treebanks (2005)

There has been a contemporary surge of interest in the application of stochastic models of parsing. The use of tree-adjoining grammar (TAG) in this domain has been relatively limited due in part to the unavailability, until recently, of large-scale corpora hand-annotated with TAG structures. Our goals are to develop inexpensive means of generating such corpora and to demonstrate their applicability to stochastic modeling. We present a method for automatically extracting a linguistically plausible TAG from the Penn Treebank. Furthermore, we also introduce labor-inexpensive methods for inducing higher-level organization of TAGs. Empirically, we perform an evaluation of various automatically extracted TAGs and also demonstrate how our induced higher-level organization of TAGs can be used for smoothing stochastic TAG models.
Variable-spacing diffraction grating employing elastomeric surface waves (1998)

Variable-spacing diffraction gratings may be useful for controlling the deflection of a light beam. We introduce a method for making such a variable grating through the use of variable-frequency surface waves in elastomeric substrates. Elastomers have an extremely low Young's modulus compared with that of conventional solids, which allows surface waves to be created with low power and to travel much more slowly than waves in conventional surface-wave devices. To date, the best results have been obtained with a thin silicone elastomer membrane supported upon the surface of water. It has been found that the propagation speed of such waves is consistent with that in a previously developed analytical model, which predicts the dispersion relationship in terms of the membrane's thickness, tension, and modulus. Such a system has been used to cause a variable deflection of a light beam, in agreement with numerical predictions.
Virtually Moving Base Stations for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks (2015)

Energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be improved by moving base stations (BSs), as this scheme evenly distributes the communication load in the network. However, physically moving the BSs is complicated and costly. In this paper, we propose a new scheme: virtually moving the BSs. We deploy an excessive number of BSs and adaptively re-select a subset of active BSs so as to emulate the physical movement. Beyond achieving high energy-efficiency, this scheme obviates the difficulties associated with physically moving the BSs.

Storage possibilities for enabling higher wind energy penetration (2010)

As the installed worldwide wind energy capacity increases about 30% annually and Kyoto protocol that came in force in 2005, wind penetration level in power system is considered to significantly increase in near future. Due to increased penetration and nature of the wind, especially its intermittency, partly unpredictability and variability, wind power can put the operation of power system into risk. One of the possible solutions can be an addition of energy storage into wind power plant. This paper deals with state of the art of the Energy Storage (ES) technologies and their possibility of accommodation for wind turbines. Overview of ES technologies is done in respect to its suitability for Wind Power Plant (WPP). Services that energy storage can offer both to WPP and power system are discussed. Moreover examples of already existing installations are shown
Double quantum criticality in superconducting tin arrays-graphene hybrid (2018)

Two magnetic-field-induced quantum critical behaviors were recently discovered in two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at LaTiO<sub>3</sub>/SrTiO<sub>3</sub> interface and interpreted by disordered superconducting puddles coupled through 2DEG. In this scenario, the 2DEG is proposed to undergo a spontaneous phase separation and breaks up into locally superconducting puddles in a metallic matrix. However, as the inhomogeneous superconducting 2DEG is only illative, this proposal still lacks the direct experimental demonstration. Here, we artificially construct superconducting puddles-2DEG hybrid system by depositing tin nanoislands array on single crystalline monolayer graphene, where the two quantum critical behaviors are reproduced. Through the finite-size scaling analysis on magnetoresistivity, we show that the two quantum critical behaviors result from the intra-island and inter-island phase coherence, respectively, which are further illustrated by the phase diagram. This work provides a platform to study superconducting quantum phase transitions in a 2D system and helps to integrate superconducting devices into semiconductor technology.

Synthesis of various 5‐substituted 2′‐deoxy‐3′‐5′‐di‐O‐acetyluridines (1991)

Abstract The Pd(0)‐catalyzed coupling reaction of β‐5‐iodo‐2′‐deoxy‐3′,5′‐di‐ O ‐acetyluridine with various heteroaryltrimethylstannyl compounds gave the corresponding β‐5‐heteroaryl‐2′‐deoxy‐3′,5′‐di‐ O ‐acetyluridines in moderate yields. This direct coupling approach for nucleosides represented an interesting alternative to the 5‐heteroaryl functionalization of pyrimidines followed by the Hilbert‐Johnson glycosylation reaction which often yields mixtures of the α and β anomers.
A New Shuttle Plasmid That Stably Replicates in Clostridium acetobutylicum (2015)

We have developed a new shuttle plasmid, designated as pLK1-MCS that can replicate in both Clostridium acetobutylicum and Escherichia coli, by combining the pUB110 and pUC19 plasmids. Plasmid pLK1-MCS replicated more stably than previously reported plasmids containing either the pIM13 or the pAMβ1 replicon in the absence of antibiotic selective pressure. The transfer frequency of pLK1-MCS into C. acetobutylicum was similar to the transfer frequency of other shuttle plasmids. We complemented C. acetobutylicum ML1 (that does not produce solvents such as acetone, butanol, and ethanol owing to loss of the megaplasmid pSOL1 harboring the adhE1-ctfAB-adc operon) by introducing pLK1-MCS carrying the adhE1-ctfAB-adc operon into C. acetobutylicum ML1. The transformed cells were able to resume anaerobic solvent production, indicating that the new shuttle plasmid has the potential for practical use in microbial biotechnology.
