Computing Blindfolded on Data Homomorphically Encrypted under Multiple Keys: An Extended Survey (2020)

New cryptographic techniques such as homomorphic encryption (HE) allow computations to be outsourced to and evaluated blindfolded in a resourceful cloud. These computations often require private data owned by multiple participants, engaging in joint evaluation of some functions. For example, Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) is becoming feasible because of recent proliferation of genome sequencing technology. Due to the sensitivity of genomic data, these data should be encrypted using different keys. However, supporting computation on ciphertexts encrypted under multiple keys is a non-trivial task. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on different state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques and schemes that are commonly used. We review techniques and schemes including Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE), Proxy Re-Encryption (PRE), Threshold Homomorphic Encryption (ThHE), and Multi-Key Homomorphic Encryption (MKHE). We analyze them based on different system and security models, and examine their complexities. We share lessons learned and draw observations for designing better schemes with reduced overheads.
New Advances in Titanium-Mediated Free Radical Reactions (2012)

Titanium complexes have been widely used as catalysts for C‑C bond-forming processes via free-radical routes. Herein we provide an overview of some of the most significant contributions in the field, that covers the last decade, emphasizing the key role played by titanium salts in the promotion of selective reactions aimed at the synthesis of multifunctional organic compounds, including nucleophilic radical additions to imines, pinacol and coupling reactions, ring opening of epoxides and living polymerization.
Bulk composition of a zoned rare-earth minerals-bearing pegmatite in the Pikes Peak granite batholith near Wellington Lake, central Colorado, U.S.A. (2021)

ABSTRACT A previously undescribed small lenticular (~5 × 5 × 5 m) pegmatite, located near Wellington Lake in the NW part of the 1.08 Ga ‘A-type’ (anorogenic) ferroan Pikes Peak granite batholith, ~15 km SW of the South Platte pegmatite district in central Colorado, is concentrically zoned around a mostly monomineralic quartz core with interconnected miarolitic cavities. Major constituents of the Wellington Lake pegmatite are quartz, perthitic microcline, albite (variety cleavelandite), hematite, and biotite. Accessory minerals include fluocerite, bastnäsite, columbite, zircon (var. ‘cyrtolite’), thorite, and secondary U phases. Fluorite is conspicuously absent, although it is a common phase in the South Platte district NYF-type pegmatites, which are rich in niobium (Nb), yttrium (Y), fluorine (F), and heavy rare-earth elements (HREE). Notable for the Wellington Lake pegmatite are a small quantity of well-developed tabular crystals of fluocerite that reach up to 4 cm in diameter, with sub-mm epitaxial bastnäsite overgrowths, suggesting formation from F- and CO2-bearing solutions rich in light rare-earth elements (LREE), with decreasing a(F-)/a(CO32-) during the last crystallization phase. An Nd-isotope value of εNd1.08Ga = -1.6 for the fluocerite is within the range of εNd1.08Ga = -0.2 to -2.7 of the host coarse-grained, pink K-series Pikes Peak Granite (PPG), indicating that REE and other pegmatite constituents derived from the parental PPG magma. A calculation of total pegmatite composition based on whole-rock chemistry and volume estimates of the different pegmatite zones reveals an overall composition similar to the PPG with respect to Si, Al, Na, and K. Yet the pegmatite is depleted in Fe, Mg, Ca, Ti, Mn, and P, the high-field-strength elements (HFSE; Zr, Hf, Nb, Y, Th), and, most significantly, total REE compared to the PPG. Despite containing the LREE minerals fluocerite and bastnäsite, the lack of a net overall REE enrichment of the pegmatite compared to the PPG reflects the large amount of REE-poor silicate minerals forming the wall, intermediate, and core zones of the pegmatite. The calculated total pegmatite composition suggests that the pegmatite formed by the separation from the PPG magma of an F-poor H2O-saturated silicate melt depleted in REE and HFSE compared to the F-rich melts, which formed the NYF-type HREE-rich (LaN/YbN &amp;lt; 1) pegmatites in the South Platte district. Homogenization temperatures of &amp;lt; 500°C for possibly primary fluid inclusions in large quartz crystals from the core of the Wellington Lake pegmatite are consistent with recent models of pegmatite petrogenesis leading to nucleation controlled mega-crystal growth resulting from supercooling.
P159 MECHANISM OF DIET-DERIVED METABOLITES: A BEDSIDE TO BENCH INTERVENTION IN ULCERATIVE COLITIS (2019)

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Growing evidence demonstrates that the diet, gut microbiota and metabolites have a significant impact on UC. A high fat diet with less fiber have been linked to an increased risk of UC development. However, these complex interactions on UC are not well understood. We are performing a diet intervention study in which UC patients in remission or mildly active are sequentially given a high fat or low fat diet (4 weeks of each, 2 week wash out in between). The cross-over design and catering minimize variation. In a limited sample size of 8 patients, quality of life (QoL) was significantly improved based on low fat diet. We tested the hypothesis that this diet intervention led to a change in the microbiome (16s rRNA sequencing) and the fecal metabolites. 16S rRNA sequencing (Illumina MiSeq platform) was performed at Second Genome and used QIIME2 for microbiome analysis. The metabolites were analyzed (targeted and untargeted) by high resolution ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometry system in Dr. Chen’s lab. Stool samples were collected at 4 time points. 16S rRNA microbial profiling did not reveal any significant differences in this small sample size. We did find significant differences, however, in fecal metabolites. The untargeted analysis showed strong separation between the LFD and HFD groups. A few groups of fecal metabolites, including fatty acids (C12-C18), N-acylamino acids (N-oleoyl phenylalanine, N-palmitoyltaurine) and dehydrolithocholic acid were positively correlated with a HFD, while multiple amino acids (glycine, alanine), and AA metabolites (phenyllactic acid) were positively correlated with a LFD. Among these diet-responsive metabolites, lauric acid was increased by HFD even though no exogenous dietary intake of lauric acid (i.e. coconut or palm oil) was in either of the diets. This pilot study highlights new strategies to formulate precision medicine approaches for increasing the efficacy of dietary interventions in UC treatment.
Technique for monolithically integrating GaAs/AlGaAs lasers of different wavelengths (1989)

Lasers that operate at wavelengths differing by 40 nm have been fabricated from two different regions of a single wafer by a process using molecular-beam epitaxy. The process consists of controlling the thicknesses of the quantum wells in the regions which form the active areas of the lasers. The control is accomplished by manipulating the Ga sticking coefficient through local variations of the substrate temperature during the growth process. This process could lead to a variety of important developments in GaAs-based technology such as multiwavelength optical interconnects.
Reduction of metal streak artifacts in X-ray computed tomography using a transmission maximum a posteriori algorithm (2003)

A maximum a posteriori algorithm for reduction of metal streak artifacts in X-ray computed tomography is presented. The algorithm uses a Markov random field smoothness prior and applies increased sampling in the reconstructed image. Good results are obtained for simulations and phantom measurements: streak artifacts are reduced while small, line-shaped details are preserved.
Democratizing cellular access with CellBricks (2021)

Markets in which competition thrives are good for both consumers and innovation but, unfortunately, competition is not thriving in the increasingly important cellular market. We propose CellBricks, a novel cellular architecture that lowers the barrier to entry for new operators by enabling users to consume access on-demand from any available cellular operator — small or large, trusted or untrusted. CellBricks achieves this by moving support for mobility and user management (authentication and billing) out of the network and into end hosts. These changes, we believe, bring valuable benefits beyond enabling competition: they lead to a cellular infrastructure that is simpler and more efficient.

Sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the <i>SNF4/AMPK</i> gamma subunit gene from <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> (1999)

To optimize gene expression under different environmental conditions, many organisms have evolved systems which can quickly up- and down-regulate the activity of other genes. Recently, the SNF1 kinase complex from yeast and the AMP-activated protein kinase complex from mammals have been shown to represent homologous metabolic sensors that are key to regulating energy levels under times of metabolic stress. Using heterologous probing, we have cloned the Drosophila melanogaster homologue of SNF4, the noncatalytic effector subunit from this kinase complex. A sequence corresponding to the partial genomic sequence as well as the full-length cDNA was obtained, and shows that the D. melanogaster SNF4 is encoded in a 1944-bp cDNA representing a protein of 648 amino acids (aa). Southern analysis of Drosophila genomic DNA in concert with a survey of mammalian SNF4 ESTs indicates that in metazoans, SNF4 is a duplicated gene, and possibly even a larger gene family. We propose that one gene copy codes for a short (330 aa) protein, whereas the second locus codes for a longer version (<410 aa) that is extended at the carboxy terminus, as typified by the Drosophila homologue presented here. Phylogenetic analysis of yeast, invertebrate, and multiple mammalian isoforms of SNF4 shows that the gene duplication likely occurred early in the metazoan lineage, as the protein products of the different loci are relatively divergent. When the phylogeny was extended beyond the SNF4 gene family, SNF4 shares sequence similarity with other cystathionine-beta-synthase domain-containing proteins, including IMP dehydrogenase and a variety of uncharacterized Methanococcus proteins.
An inquiry into spectrum regulation for mobile IPTV : focusing on spectrum neutrality (2009)

IPTV는 방송·통신 융합을 대표하는 서비스이며 최근 IPTV에 이동성(mobility)를 가미한 mobile IPTV에 대한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. Mobile IPTV는 소비자들에게 새로운 개념의 서비스를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 현행법상 국내 이동통신 사업자들은 mobile IPTV제공할 수 없으며 이러한 제도적인 제약은 향후 융합서비스의 출현 때마다 지속적이고 소모적인인 논쟁을 발생시킬 개연성이 크다.BR 본 연구는 mobile IPTV 도입 시 필수적으로 요구되는 주파수 자원의 한정적인 제약을 극복하기 위한 선별적 주파수 기술 중립성을 제안한다. mobile IPTV와 같은 신규 융합 서비스는 지속적으로 출현할 것으로 예상되며 이러한 신규 서비스의 출현은 주파수 이용권 부여 시 명시된 주파수 이용용도 및 기술요건의 제약으로 인해 시장 출시 시점이 지연될 수 있고, 관련 혁신적 기술 발전을 저해할 가능성이 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 mobile IPTV의 시장 확산을 촉진하고 관련 기술간의 지속적인 경쟁과 발전, 빠른 상용화를 꾀하기 위한 전파 규제체계의 개선방향에 대해 논해보는 것을 목적으로 한다.
Interferon enhancement of the invasive capacity of Ewing sarcoma cells in vitro (1982)

The ability of interferons to reduce cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo is a well-studied phenomenon. To extend such observations, the effect of interferons on the invasiveness in vitro of human malignant cells derived from a Ewing sarcoma was evaluated. Two related parameters were examined: (i) production of type IV (basement membrane) collagenase and (ii) penetration of human amnion basement membrane and collagenous stroma. After 6 days of treatment with crude fibroblast, leukocyte, or lymphoblastoid interferon at 100 units/ml in serum-free medium, type IV collagenase levels increased 2- to 4-fold per cell relative to those of untreated controls. With homogeneous fibroblast and lymphoblastoid interferons, a 2-fold elevation in type IV collagenase was detected after 2 days, with further increases, occasionally dramatic, occurring on the 4th and 6th day of treatment. The ability of Ewing sarcoma cells to invade human amnion connective tissue was measured after 6 days of treatment with various interferons. Relative to the behavior of untreated controls, crude leukocyte interferon, homogeneous lymphoblastoid interferon, and homogeneous fibroblast interferon at 100 units/ml augmented invasiveness 3-, 17- and 22-fold, respectively, when cells were allowed 4 days in which to traverse the amnion. When untreated cells were exposed simultaneously to the amnion and to homogeneous lymphoblastoid or fibroblast interferon, a 4- to 5-fold increase in invasiveness above control levels was observed in 2 days. These data emphasize the complexity of interferon-induced phenomena. In any overview, the effects of interferon on both the tumor cell and the host must be considered.
<title>Modal analysis of SPRITE transport processes</title> (1995)

Carrier transport in signal processing in the element (SPRITE) detectors is an important phenomenon because it determines properties such as the responsivity and the modulation transfer function (MTF). The previous literature has presented approximate solutions to the transport problem that neglect boundary effects, which have long been thought to play a major role in SPRITE behavior. In this paper we present a new solution to the problem through the use of modal analysis. This method intrinsically includes the three dimensional boundary conditions, and thus is more complete than the previous analysis. Through the analysis, certain dimensionless numbers arise which can be used to characterize SPRITE structure parameters and clarify how these parameters impact device performance. Further, we use this solution to derive an expression for the MTF. The effects of the boundary conditions and the device geometry on MTF are investigated using the new theory. Our results show that the quality of the passivated surfaces has a weak influence on the MTF; however, the device width affects the MTF performance more strongly when the passivation is poor. The effect of blocking at the contacts is investigated. It is found that while marginal improvements in MTF roll-off could be achieved by making the contacts highly ohmic, the maximum signal amplitude is obtained with partially blocking contacts.

CD153 VACCINE IS A NOVEL SENOTHERAPEUTIC OPTION FOR REMOVING SENESCENCE-ASSOCIATED T CELLS (2021)

Objective: Senotherapy targeting for senescent cells is designed to attenuate age-related dysfunction and promote healthy aging. Senescence-associated T cells (SA-T cells), defined as CD4+ CD44high CD62Llow PD-1+ CD153+ cells, accumulate in visceral adipose tissues (VAT) in obese individuals. Here, we show the long-lasting effect of using CD153 vaccination to remove SA-T cells from high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese C57BL/6J mice. Design and method: The peptide vaccines for mouse CD153 consisted of a short peptide sequence conjugated to KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin) as a carrier protein to induce the specific CD153 antibody, and knowing the CD153 epitope information allowed five candidate peptide to be selected as antigens. The five peptide vaccines (30 microg of the CD153 peptide per mouse) were conjugated to KLH and coadministered with the Alum adjuvant (Alhydrogel) to seven-week-old male C57BL/6J mice twice at two-week intervals. CD153#D vaccine-induced antibodies effectively recognize the rmCD153 protein, and we selected the CD153#D vaccine as a candidate for further experimental studies. Results: The number of CD153+ SA-T cells increases gradually and systemically with age. Indeed, more CD153+ SA-T cells were observed in the splenic tissues of male C57BL/6J mice at 20 months of age than at 3 months of age (18.7 ± 0.5% vs. 3.8 ± 0.2%; p &lt; 0.0001; n = 3 in each group). In VAT (viceral adipose tissue), CD153+ SA-T cells tended to increase more in elderly mice than in young mice (8.2 ± 1.0% vs. 4.3 ± 1.4%; p = 0.08; n = 3 in each group). We administered a CD153 peptide-KLH conjugate vaccine with Alhydrogel (CD153-Alum) or CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) 1585 (CD153-CpG) and confirmed an increase in anti-CD153 antibody levels that was sustained for several months. After being fed a HFD for 10–11 weeks, adipose SA-T cell accumulation was significantly reduced in the VAT of CD153-CpG-vaccinated mice, accompanied by glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. A complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assay indicated that the mouse IgG2 antibody produced in the CD153-CpG-vaccinated mice successfully reduced the number of SA-T cells. Conclusions: These results suggest that the CD153-CpG vaccine might be an optional tool for senolytic therapy.
Direct constraint on the Higgs–charm coupling from a search for Higgs boson decays into charm quarks with the ATLAS detector (2022)

A search for the Higgs boson decaying into a pair of charm quarks is presented. The analysis uses proton–proton collisions to target the production of a Higgs boson in association with a leptonically decaying W or Z boson. The dataset delivered by the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of and recorded by the ATLAS detector corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1$$\text{ fb}^{-1}$$. Flavour-tagging algorithms are used to identify jets originating from the hadronisation of charm quarks. The analysis method is validated with the simultaneous measurement of WW, WZ and ZZ production, with observed (expected) significances of 2.6 (2.2) standard deviations above the background-only prediction for the (W/Z)Z(→cc¯)$$(W/Z)Z(\rightarrow c{\bar{c}})$$ process and 3.8 (4.6) standard deviations for the (W/Z)W(→cq)$$(W/Z)W(\rightarrow cq)$$ process. The (W/Z)H(→cc¯)$$(W/Z)H(\rightarrow c {\bar{c}})$$ search yields an observed (expected) upper limit of 26 (31) times the predicted Standard Model cross-section times branching fraction for a Higgs boson with a mass of , corresponding to an observed (expected) constraint on the charm Yukawa coupling modifier |κc|&lt;8.5(12.4)$$|\kappa _c| &lt; 8.5~(12.4)$$, at the 95% confidence level. A combination with the ATLAS (W/Z)H,H→bb¯$$(W/Z)H, H\rightarrow b{\bar{b}}$$ analysis is performed, allowing the ratio κc/κb$$\kappa _c / \kappa _b$$ to be constrained to less than 4.5 at the 95% confidence level, smaller than the ratio of the b- and c-quark masses, and therefore determines the Higgs-charm coupling to be weaker than the Higgs-bottom coupling at the 95% confidence level.

Polyol-process-derived CoPt nanoparticles: Structural and magnetic properties (2003)

We report the synthesis and magnetic properties of CoPt nanoparticles by using the polyol process. Since the reduction potential of Pt is more positive than Co, Pt is easily reduced compared to Co. Hence, CoPt nanoparticles were realized by coreducing cobalt and platinum acetylacetonate in the presence of an appropriate amount of OH ions in trimethylene glycol. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies showed that the as-synthesized CoPt nanoparticles had fcc structure and about 5 nm in diameter. Composition analysis reveals that the as-synthesized particles are almost equiatomic Co50Pt50. Magnetic characterization revealed that these nanoparticles are ferromagnetic at room temperature, and that the magnetization and coercivity values were 8 emu/g and 380 Oe, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry studies showed that the ordering temperature of the as-synthesized particles was only 550 °C (peak temperature), against 825 °C of the bulk. Annealing the CoPt nanoparticles above 550 °C induced ordering with enhanced magnetic properties.
Generation of a High-Density Rat EST Map (2001)

We have developed a high-density EST map of the rat, consisting of >11,000 ESTs. These ESTs were placed on a radiation hybrid framework map of genetic markers spanning all 20 rat autosomes, plus the X chromosome. The framework maps have a total size of approximately 12,400 cR, giving an average correspondence of 240 kb/cR. The frameworks are all LOD 3 chromosomal maps consisting of 775 radiation-hybrid-mapped genetic markers and ESTs. To date, we have generated radiation-hybrid-mapping data for >14,000 novel ESTs identified by our Rat Gene Discovery and Mapping Project (http://ratEST.uiowa.edu), from which we have placed >11,000 on our framework maps. To minimize mapping errors, ESTs were mapped in duplicate and consensus RH vectors produced for use in the placement procedure. This EST map was then used to construct high-density comparative maps between rat and human and rat and mouse. These maps will be a useful resource for positional cloning of genes for rat models of human diseases and in the creation and verification of a tiling set of map order for the upcoming rat-genome sequencing.

Measuring CMYK color plane misregistration from scanned printed customer content image (2022)

Print defect detection and measurement are critical for designing and improving high-quality printing systems. Color plane misregistration is considered to be among the most serious and common defects affecting the overall image quality within the printing industry. There has been some research on it, but mostly focused on measuring the defect on uniform color pages or specific test images. In this paper, we designed and developed a processing pipeline, and two measurement strategies for measuring color plane misregistration. The processing pipeline can automatically determine the direction, magnitude, and identity of the misregistered color plane for a scanned printed customer content image. The entire design pipeline can be directly used on the printed output without prior information on image content, allowing it to be widely used for printer troubleshooting.
