Search for CP violation in Ξb−→pK−K− decays (2021)

A search for $CP$ violation in charmless three-body ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decays is performed using $pp$ collision data recorded with the LHCb detector, corresponding to integrated luminosities of $1\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=7\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$, $2\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=8\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ and $2\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=13\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$. A good description of the phase-space distribution is obtained with an amplitude model containing contributions from $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}(1385)$, $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1405)$, $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1520)$, $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1670)$, $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}(1775)$ and $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}(1915)$ resonances. The model allows for $CP$ -violation effects, which are found to be consistent with zero. The branching fractions of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}(1385){K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1405){K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1520){K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}(1670){K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}(1775){K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}(1915){K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decays are also reported. In addition, an upper limit is placed on the product of ratios of ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ fragmentation fractions and the ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Xi}}}_{b}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ branching fractions.
1P1-C04 Measurement of a palmar flexion by the estimation system of individual muscle activities in forearm (2010)

Measurements by surface electromyography (sEMG) are noninvasive and simple to apply to obtain signals of muscle action potentials. However, the sEMG potentials of muscles near the electrode are superimposed. This paper develops a method measuring individual muscle activity and imaginary joint moment of forearm muscles using sEMG distribution and a conduction model of the forearm. The optimized individual muscle activities and imaginary joint moments are calculated from sEMG with palmar flexion load to 4 subjects. As a result, the imaginary joint moment of the wrist nearly proportional to load was obtained.
Metabolite G-Protein Coupled Receptors in Cardio-Metabolic Diseases (2021)

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have originally been described as a family of receptors activated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and other mediators. However, in recent years GPCRs have shown to bind endogenous metabolites, which serve functions other than as signaling mediators. These receptors respond to fatty acids, mono- and disaccharides, amino acids, or various intermediates and products of metabolism, including ketone bodies, lactate, succinate, or bile acids. Given that many of these metabolic processes are dysregulated under pathological conditions, including diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity, receptors of endogenous metabolites have also been recognized as potential drug targets to prevent and/or treat metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. This review describes G protein-coupled receptors activated by endogenous metabolites and summarizes their physiological, pathophysiological, and potential pharmacological roles.
Structural changes and allergenic properties of β‐lactoglobulin upon exposure to high‐intensity ultrasound (2012)

Sonication-induced structural changes in major whey allergen were not clinically significant in cow's milk allergy patients. Ultrasound can be a safe procedure for dairy processing as it maintains the nutritional value and does not increase allergenic potential of BLG.
Whitefly-active metabolites of imidacloprid: biological efficacy and translocation in cotton plants (1999)

The chloronicotinyl insecticide imidacloprid is widely used in soil application, seed treatment and as a foliar spray. Its systemic properties are well-known. It is more or less completely metabolised, depending on the method of application, plant species and time. Some of the metabolites that arise are active against different aphid species, as shown earlier, with the imidazoline derivative (olefine metabolite) more active in oral ingestion bioassays than the parent compound itself. In the present work, we demonstrate that the olefine metabolite and two hydroxy metabolites of imidacloprid are also active against the cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, in oral ingestion bioassays (sachet test). The 4-hydroxy metabolite is as active as imidacloprid and the olefine compound c10 times more active. The two hydroxy metabolites were also active against biotypes from Almeria, Spain and a B-type strain from California. The physicochemical properties of the metabolites were determined and compared with those of imidacloprid. Lower log P values were found for all metabolites investigated. Interestingly, the olefine metabolite was the only compound with an acidic proton (pKa 7.2) under neutral pH conditions, suggesting that it could be more phloem-mobile. In order to investigate this hypothesis we compared the translocation of the radiolabelled olefine metabolite after foliar application with the movement of radiolabelled imidacloprid in cotton plants, but no major differences were found in acropetal or basipetal translocation. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
Bioprostheses and Mechanical Prostheses Predictors of Performance (2000)

From 1975 to 1995, 4200 patients had bioprosthetic valve replacements (2240 aortic, 1607 mitral, 353 multiple) and 2038 had mechanical valve replacements (747 aortic, 928 mitral, 363 multiple). Freedom from major thromboembolism or both major thromboembolism and hemorrhage for aortic and mitral valve replacement at 15 years was significantly greater for bioprostheses than mechanical prostheses. Freedom from valve-related mortality and reoperation for both aortic and mitral valve replacements was the same for bioprostheses and mechanical prostheses. Advancing age increased overall mortality (all positions), valve-related mortality (aortic, mitral), major thromboembolism (aortic), thromboembolism and hemorrhage (aortic, mitral) but decreased reoperation (all positions). Coronary artery bypass grafting increased overall mortality (aortic, mitral) but not valve-related mortality, and it decreased reoperation rate (aortic, mitral). Overall mortality was not influenced by valve type in aortic or multiple valve replacement but it was decreased by bioprostheses in mitral valve replacement. Valve type did not influence valve-related mortality (all positions). Mechanical valves decreased reoperation only for aortic valve replacement but they increased major thromboembolism with and without hemorrhage for both aortic and mitral replacements. There is support for bioprostheses in aortic valve replacement and mechanical prostheses in mitral valve replacement but for neither in multiple valve replacements.
Host−Guest Complexation of Endohedral Metallofullerene with Azacrown Ether and Its Application (2006)

Complexation of endohedral metallofullerene La@C(82)-A (1) with macrocyclic compounds, such as 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane (2), 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexamethyl-1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane (3), mono-aza-18-crown-6 ether (4), 18-crown-6 ether (5), and p-tert-butylcalix[n]arenes (n = 4-8, 6-10), for the first time is examined. Among them, 1 forms a complex with azacrown ethers 2-4 while accompanying the electron transfer between them. This is characteristic of endohedral metallofullerene and caused by its low reduction potential. Activation energies, DeltaG(et), for the electron transfer from 2-4 to 1 are 4.6, 2.8, and 11 kcal/mol, respectively. These small DeltaG(et) values indicate that the electron transfer from the azacrown ethers to 1 is facile in the ground state. Furthermore, the selective isolation of lanthanum endohedral metallofullerenes from the extracts of soot is accomplished by utilizing the complexation of 1 with 2.
Topic and keyword re-ranking for LDA-based topic modeling (2009)

Topic-based text summaries promise to help average users quickly understand a text collection and derive insights. Recent research has shown that the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) model is one of the most effective approaches to topic analysis. However, the LDA-based results may not be ideal for human understanding and consumption. In this paper, we present several topic and keyword re-ranking approaches that can help users better understand and consume the LDA-derived topics in their text analysis. Our methods process the LDA output based on a set of criteria that model a user's information needs. Our evaluation demonstrates the usefulness of the methods in summarizing several large-scale, real world data sets.
Racial Differences in Postoperative Opioid Prescribing Practices in Spine Surgical Patients (2022)

In a large cohort of opioid-naive postoperative neurosurgical patients, this study demonstrates higher inpatient and outpatient postoperative opioid usage among White patients. Increasing physician awareness to the effect of race on inpatient and outpatient pain management would allow for a modified opioid prescribing practice that ensures limited yet effective opioid dosages void of implicit biases.
Personalized action suggestions in low-code automation platforms (2023)

Automation platforms aim to automate repetitive tasks using workflows, which start with a trigger and then perform a series of actions. However, with many possible actions, the user has to search for the desired action at each step, which hinders the speed of flow development. We propose a personalized transformer model that recommends the next item at each step. This personalization is learned end-to-end from user statistics that are available at inference time. We evaluated our model on workflows from Power Automate users and show that personalization improves top-1 accuracy by 22%. For new users, our model performs similar to a model trained without personalization.
Synthesis of application-specific memory structures (1996)

The benefits of a behavioral synthesis design methodology, including higher designer productivity and shorter time-to-market, are the results of allowing the designer to use more abstract and familiar specifications. One of the most common and familiar abstractions used by hardware and software designers is the array, which allows the specification of a set of values that have a unique index associated with each element. A behavioral synthesis tool that accepts specifications containing arrays must map the storage implied by the arrays to memory in an implementation of that specification. In many data-intensive applications, these memory design decisions have a larger impact on the cost, performance, and power of the implementation than any other design decision made by a behavioral synthesis tool. Most behavioral synthesis tools, however, fail to separate the concepts of array specification and memory implementation, which severely restricts the span of designs that can be explored gi...
Model-based Localized Calibration for Interacting Actuators And Sensors (2003)

Sensor-based measurements are intrinsically prone to errors. One can distinguish two types of errors: systematic and random noise errors. Calibration is the process of validating and/or adjusting the accuracy of a measuring instrument so that the systematic error is calculated and the bias is corrected. Distributed localized in-field calibration of sensor devices in an ad-hoc wireless network is of crucial importance since manual calibration is not feasible and cost-effective. In order to address calibration for an arbitrary system of sensors and actuators and an arbitrary model of systematic errors, we formulate calibration as nonlinear function minimization problem. We start by identifying the necessary and sufficient conditions to solve a specific instance of calibration in a given network. We solve the minimization problem using combination of polak-ribiere conjugate gradient method and singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithms in conjunction with binary search procedure. In addition, we have developed four-phase localized calibration procedure that minimizes the amount of required multi-hop limited-size packet communication and storage...
Reservoir Fluid Geodynamics using Logging-While-Drilling Downhole Fluid Analysis: A North Sea Case Study (2022)

Abstract We present a case study of the application of Fluid Mapping While Drilling (FMWD) to acquired logging-while-drilling downhole fluid analysis (FMWD-DFA) in the development stage of a North Sea reservoir. An extensive Wireline DFA (WL-DFA) dataset and Reservoir Fluid Geodynamics (RFG) study helped characterize fluid variations in the exploration and appraisal stages of this field revealing a complex reservoir charge history that results in fluid variations throughout the field and furthermore revealing connections between reservoir quality/productivity and in-situ fluid properties. In the development stage, knowledge acquired in the previous field phases guided well placement decisions and FMWD-DFA was used actively in well construction to validate and enhance the fluid model in this field. FMWD pressure and DFA measurements were acquired in five development wells in the field: three horizontals and two high-angle pilots. DFA measurements provide fluid composition and optical density, which correlates directly with the asphaltene content of the oil. Asphaltene gradients are modeled to assess thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and investigate lateral and vertical connectivity. DFA and other data streams integrated by the RFG analysis provided the base model: a relatively recent secondary migration of light hydrocarbon into the reservoir that resulted in different realizations of the mixing process depending on distance from the charge plane and rate of mixing. Well trajectories were designed to target sweet spots based on appraisal data; however, some level of uncertainty remains when entering the development stage. FMWD-DFA was used to understand fluid property variations throughout the field that may be associated to geological factors or resulting from fluid mixing processes that may yield localized asphaltene instability. FMWD pressure and mobility measurements complement this model and enable an assessment of current levels of pressure depletion from production in a neighboring field in hydraulic communication through a shared aquifer. This field example shows integration of DFA technology from different acquisition platforms at different stages of the life of the field. It illustrates how this technology is used to improve the understanding of the complex fluid variations in this field and make development decisions such as optimizing well design by ensuring placement within reservoir sweet spots.
Direct Organocatalytic Chemoselective Synthesis of a Dendrimer-like Star Polyester (2006)

We have developed a direct organocatalytic synthesis of a dendrimer-like star polyester. The synthesis was based on lactic acid-catalyzed bulk ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) with the hexahydroxy-functional dendrimer 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propanoic acid as the initiator. The polymerization was highly chemoselective, and the catalyst was readily recovered by precipitation of the polyester products. The reaction was performed without solvent and without the need of an inert atmosphere. In addition, the ROPs are operationally simple, inexpensive, and environmentally benign. Organic acid catalysis provides a new entry for the synthesis of valuable dendritic materials as well as polyesters for biomedical applications.
Antimicrobial and Antifungal Activities of Quasi-Dimeric and Related Alkaloids (1988)

A series of quasi-dimeric indole alkaloids was tested for antimicrobial activity. Only three of the 34 compounds did not show activity against any of the test organisms (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger). None of the compounds was active against P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, and A. niger at the levels tested. Three alkaloids had activity against E. coli. It was concluded that the stereochemistry of the C/D ring junction in the alkaloids is important for the activity. Aromatic substitution and oxidation of the C-ring of the quasi-dimeric alkaloid decreases the activity. Harman, dihydroharman, and a synthetic bisharman (34) were found to be inactive in this test system at the concentrations tested.
Plasma Imidazole Propionate Is Positively Correlated with Blood Pressure in Overweight and Obese Humans (2021)

In this cohort with overweight/obese subjects without T2D, plasma ImP concentrations were positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure but not with insulin-sensitivity.
Structural and Electrical Characterization of Porous Silicon Carbide Formed in n-6H-SiC Substrates (2003)

Investigation of porous silicon carbide layer morphology and its growth rate was studied along with electrical characterization. Morphology of the formed porous SiC layers was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The effective carrier density in porous layers was extracted from the capacitance-voltage characteristics of mercury probe Schottky contacts to the porous layer. It was found that the effective carrier density in porous layer and the pore density are in good correlation. © 2002 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.
Coordination of dual robot arms using kinematic redundancy (2003)

A method is developed to coordinate the motion of dual robot arms carrying a solid object, where the first robot (leader) grasps one end of the object rigidly and the second robot (follower) is allowed to change its grasping position at the other end of the object along the object surface while supporting the object. It is shown that this flexible grasping is equivalent to the addition of one more degree of freedom, giving the follower more maneuvering capabilities. Especially, motion commands for the follower are generated by using kinematic redundancy. To show the utility and power of the method, an example system with two PUMA 560 robots carrying a beam is analyzed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Complications After 147 Consecutive Vertebral Column Resections for Severe Pediatric Spinal Deformity (2012)

A total of 147 consecutive pediatric VCRs performed by 7 surgeons demonstrated excellent radiographical correction. However, these complex reconstructions were associated with a 59% complication rate, thus emphasizing the challenging nature of these patients and procedures.
Discrimination of muscle and neuronal Na-channel subtypes by binding competition between [3H]saxitoxin and mu-conotoxins. (1986)

The effect of two mu-conotoxin peptides on the specific binding of [3H]saxitoxin was examined in isolated plasma membranes of various excitable tissues. mu-Conotoxins GIIIA and GIIIB inhibit [3H]saxitoxin binding in Electrophorus electric organ membranes with similar KdS of approximately equal to 50 X 10(-9) M in a manner consistent with direct competition for a common binding site. GIIIA and GIIIB similarly compete with the majority (80-95%) of [3H]saxitoxin binding sites in rat skeletal muscle with KdS of approximately 25 and approximately 140 X 10(-9) M, respectively. However, the high-affinity saxitoxin sites in lobster axons, rat brain, and rat heart are virtually insensitive to GIIIA concentrations up to 10 microM. These results and previously published data suggest that three Na-channel subtypes can be distinguished on the basis of toxin pharmacology: Na channels of skeletal muscle and Electrophorus electroplax have high affinity for mu-conotoxins and tetrodotoxin, neuronal Na channels have low affinity for mu-conotoxins and high affinity for tetrodotoxin, while heart Na channels and a similar subtype also found in denervated muscle have low affinity for both mu-conotoxin and tetrodotoxin.

SOBA Fabric: a framework for Business Services Networks Due to copyright restrictions full text for this article is not available (2005)

We introduce SOBA (Service Oriented Business Applications) Fabric, an architectural framework for Business Services Networks (BSN). BSNs extend the enterprise service bus concept beyond the boundaries of a single enterprise, enabling companies to build on each other's applications and create new loosely-coupled, network-centric business models. SOBA Fabric facilitates dynamic integration of people, processes, and information across business and technology boundaries by providing: 1) Dynamic provisioning and service personalization so that subscribers can quickly customize a business process to work with their systems and processes; 2) Industry-specific Service Level Agreements; 3) An industry-specific business services catalog supporting dynamic discovery and composition; 4) Business Process Management tools interface tailored to industry requirements; and 5) Visibility and exception handling across the BSN. Most importantly, SOBA Fabric provides industry-specific semantic dial tones that enable applications to plug and play at the business process level, using standardized XML business vocabularies. We describe the SOBA Architecture and present a case study from a successful deployment in the Insurance sector.
Direct Laser Writing of Four-Dimensional Structural Color Microactuators Using a Photonic Photoresist (2020)

With the advent of direct laser writing using two-photon polymerization, the generation of high-resolution three-dimensional microstructures has increased dramatically. However, the development of stimuli-responsive photoresists to create four-dimensional (4D) microstructures remains a challenge. Herein, we present a supramolecular cholesteric liquid crystalline photonic photoresist for the fabrication of 4D photonic microactuators, such as pillars, flowers, and butterflies, with submicron resolution. These micron-sized features display structural color and shape changes triggered by a variation of humidity or temperature. These findings serve as a roadmap for the design and creation of high-resolution 4D photonic microactuators.
iPSC Technology: Platform for Drug Discovery (2011)

Disease-specific pluripotent stem cells are a source of affected cell types for drug discovery. The ability to reprogram somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provides a platform for generating cells from patients with different disease severities and drug metabolism responses. Although challenges remain for efficient differentiation and high-throughput scale-up, we propose that iPSCs have distinct advantages over embryonic stem cells (ESCs) for evaluating drugs by performing clinical trials on a dish.
