High Efficient Wireless Power Transfer System for AUV with Multiple Coils and Ferrite under Sea (2019)

In recent years, AUV has attracted attention in marine exploration and the like. AUV will be put into the sea, conduct exploration activities, picked up from the sea, charge and replace batteries. Because there is a lot of pulling work, it is a loss of time. Wireless power supply is required to improve the efficiency of exploration activities, but sea water is a conductor, it is difficult to transmit wireless power efficiently. In this paper, we propose a highly efficient wireless power transmission system for AUV by using ferrite and multistage coil.
<title>Application of high-rate crystal growth technique to single crystals of nucleic acid bases</title> (1991)

On the basis of the metastable zone investigations the optimal conditions for adenine sulphate solution stability were found. These made it possible to apply the novel high rate growth technique developed for KDP-family crystals group to the nucleic acid base crystals. The optical quality of adenine sulphate crystals grown at the rate about five times higher than the traditional one thus reducing the growth period six or seven times is sufficient not only for Raman spectroscopy but even for the normal reflection one.
High‐resolution model‐based material decomposition in dual‐layer flat‐panel CBCT (2021)

The proposed model-based material decomposition method for a dual-layer flat-panel CBCT system has demonstrated an ability to extend high-resolution performance through sophisticated detector modeling including the layer-dependent blur. The proposed work has the potential to not only facilitate high-resolution spectral CT in interventional and dedicated CBCT systems, but may also provide the opportunity to evaluate different flat-panel design trade-offs including multilayer FPDs with mismatched geometries, scintillator thicknesses, and spectral sensitivities.
Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles Mimic Catalytic Activity of a Polysiloxane‐Synthesizing Enzyme (2005)

A synthetic analogue of a naturally occurring enzyme has been produced by grafting appropriate nucleophilic and hydrogen-bonding functionalities to gold nanoparticles via self-assembled monolayers (see Figure and cover). The synthetic analogue mimics silicatein proteins, which act as both catalysts and templates for formation of silica needles in a marine sponge, converting silicon alkoxide precursors to silica at low temperatures and near-neutral pH.

Family History and BRCA1/BRCA2 Status Among Japanese Ovarian Cancer Patients and Occult Cancer in a BRCA1 Mutant Case (2013)

Here, we integrate family cancer history and histology in ovarian cancer cases as well as TP53 status in a BRCA1 mutant case into a discussion regarding carcinogenesis in a Japanese population. The TP53 status for the BRCA1 mutant case examined here supports the recently proposed theory that ovarian cancer develops because of BRCA1 or BRCA2 inactivation and/or TP53 mutations.
Spherical harmonic rake receivers for dereverberation (2016)

This paper presents the use of acoustic rake receivers for speech dereverberation applications. Formulated in the spherical harmonic domain, the proposed spatial filter designs exploit the multipath propagation of sound in an enclosure, by individually capturing early reflections and combining them with the direct path. In this work we investigate the effect that the choice of early reflections has on dereverberation performance, and demonstrate that a rake finger selection criterion based on reflection energies, rather than their order, results in higher levels of reverberation suppression. A perceptually motivated design is also proposed, in which rake fingers are weighted based on the energy of the spatial filter required to produce them. The weighting scheme is shown to minimise the amplification of the diffuse reverberant sound field, thereby improving design robustness. Experimental simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed rake receivers in highly reverberant environments, when compared to the plane-wave decomposition beamformer.
Optical manifestation of thermal expansion of a nematic liquid crystal (2012)

A unique feature of liquid crystals (LCs) is orientational order of molecules that can be controlled by electromagnetic fields, surface modifications and pressure gradients. We describe a new effect in which the orientation of LC molecules is altered by thermal expansion. Thermal expansion (or contraction) causes the LC to flow; the flow imposes an orienting torque on the LC molecules and the optical axis. The optical and mechanical responses activated by a simple temperature changes can be used in sensing, photonics, microfluidic, optofluidic and lab-on-a-chip applications as they do not require externally imposed gradients of temperature, pressure nor electromagnetic fields.
Temperature-dependent shape-responsive fluorescent nanospheres for image-guided drug delivery (2016)

Temperature-responsive nanoparticles used in conjunction with hyperthermia promise to provide synergistic effects for increasing drug efficacy. We propose a near-infared (NIR) fluorescent system based on a upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymer, ISP2, integrated with a NIR fluorescent dye HITC for in vivo tracking. The system forms a nanoparticle that increases its volume as temperature increases, similar to the expansion of a Hoberman sphere. The nanospheres nearly doubled in size, from 80 nm to 140 nm, during a temperature increase from 40°C to 60°C.

Data from Individualized Molecular Analyses Guide Efforts (IMAGE): A Prospective Study of Molecular Profiling of Tissue and Blood in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; The clinical utility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in breast cancer has not been demonstrated. We hypothesized that we could perform NGS of a new biopsy from patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in a clinically actionable timeframe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; We planned to enroll 40 patients onto a prospective study, Individualized Molecular Analyses Guide Efforts (IMAGE), to evaluate the feasibility of obtaining a new biopsy of a metastatic site, perform NGS (FoundationOne), and convene a molecular tumor board to formulate treatment recommendations within 28 days. We collected blood at baseline and at time of restaging to assess cell-free circulating plasma tumor DNA (ptDNA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; We enrolled 26 women with metastatic TNBC who had received ≥1 line of prior chemotherapy, and 20 (77%) underwent NGS of a metastatic site biopsy. Twelve (60%) evaluable patients received treatment recommendations within 28 days of consent. The study closed after 20 patients underwent NGS, based on protocol-specified interim futility analysis. Three patients went on to receive genomically directed therapies. Twenty-four of 26 patients had genetic alterations successfully detected in ptDNA. Among 5 patients, 4 mutations found in tumor tissues were not identified in blood, and 4 mutations found in blood were not found in corresponding tumors. In 9 patients, NGS of follow-up blood samples showed 100% concordance with baseline blood samples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; This study demonstrates challenges of performing NGS on prospective tissue biopsies in patients with metastatic TNBC within 28 days, while also highlighting the potential use of blood as a more time-efficient and less invasive method of mutational assessment. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 23(2); 379–86. ©2016 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Analgesic actions of N ‐arachidonoyl‐serotonin, a fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor with antagonistic activity at vanilloid TRPV1 receptors (2007)

Possibly due to its dual activity as a FAAH inhibitor and TRPV1 antagonist, AA-5-HT was highly effective against both acute and chronic peripheral pain.
Resistance to Two Heterologous Neurotropic Oncolytic Viruses, Semliki Forest Virus and Vaccinia Virus, in Experimental Glioma (2012)

Attenuated Semliki Forest virus (SFV) may be suitable for targeting malignant glioma due to its natural neurotropism, but its replication in brain tumor cells may be restricted by innate antiviral defenses. We attempted to facilitate SFV replication in glioma cells by combining it with vaccinia virus, which is capable of antagonizing such defenses. Surprisingly, we found parenchymal mouse brain tumors to be refractory to both viruses. Also, vaccinia virus appears to be sensitive to SFV-induced antiviral interference.

Plug-and-Play Priors for Reconstruction-based Placental Image Registration (2019)

This paper presents a novel deformable registration framework, leveraging an image prior specified through a denoising function, for severely noise-corrupted placental images. Recent work on plug-and-play (PnP) priors has shown the state-of-the-art performance of reconstruction algorithms under such priors in a range of imaging applications. Integration of powerful image denoisers into advanced registration methods provides our model with a flexibility to accommodate datasets that have low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). We demonstrate the performance of our method under a wide variety of denoising models in the context of diffeomorphic image registration. Experimental results show that our model substantially improves the accuracy of spatial alignment in applications of 3D in-utero diffusion-weighted MR images (DW-MRI) that suffer from low SNR and large spatial transformations.
Periostin in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) development and synergistic effects mediated via CCL5 (2018)

The incidence of IBD is rising all over the world and is affecting 1 in&#13;\n4000 people in Europe and 1 in 16.000 in Asia. [1] Welldocumented,&#13;\nreliable numbers for Kazakhstan are currently not&#13;\navailable but observations from local physicians (personal&#13;\ncommunication) suggest that numbers might be significantly higher&#13;\nthan suggested by the literature. The matricellular protein Periostin&#13;\nhas recently been shown to be involved in IBD [2] (and our own&#13;\nunpublished data). In a chemically induced murine model (dextrane&#13;\nsulfate sodium DSS) it mediates intestinal inflammation through the&#13;\nactivation of NF-κB signaling, which suggests that periostin is a&#13;\npotential therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel disease [2].&#13;\nCCL5, also know as RANTES, is a chemokine shown to be&#13;\ninteracting with the G protein-coupled receptors CCR1, CCR3 and&#13;\nCCR5 [3]. In a recent study it could be shown that CCR5 expression&#13;\ncorrelates with the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the lamina&#13;\npropria of IBD patients [4].&#13;\nPeriostin is a matricellular protein originally isolated from&#13;\nosteoblasts and found to be preferentially expressed in the&#13;\nperiosteum [5, 6]. Periostin contains an N-terminal secretory signal&#13;\npeptide, followed by a cysteine-rich domain, four internal&#13;\nhomologous repeats, and a C-terminal hydrophilic domain. The four&#13;\ninternal repeats exhibit homology to the axon guidance protein&#13;\nfasciclin I that is involved in the development of nervous system in&#13;\ninvertebrates and were thus named fasciclin domains.
JONATHAN MERCANTINI. Who Shall Rule at Home? The Evolution of South Carolina Political Culture, 1748-1776. (The Carolina Lowcountry and the Atlantic World.) Columbia: University of South Carolina Press. 2007. Pp. xii, 314. $49.95 (2008)

Jonathan Mercantini takes up Carl Becker's famous question about the American Revolution and applies it to South Carolina between 1748 and 1776. While the title correctly identifies this as a book concerned with the origins of the American Revolution in one colony, Mercantini delves deeply into South Carolina's political world before the Stamp Act to provide an account that reveals as much about politics during the colonial period as about the revolution itself. The book begins in 1748 and emphasizes events before 1766. It also never loses sight of the transatlantic context that is necessary to make politics in colonial British America comprehensible. Despite this book's attention to the broader contexts of colonial politics, it belongs at least as much to the rather distinctive historiography of South Carolina politics. For generations scholars have commented on South Carolina's reputation for radicalism, often in an attempt to make sense of secession. Mercantini...

Double cation adduction in matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry of electron deficient anthraquinone derivatives (2007)

Six anthraquinone derivatives were analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). Clear (pseudo) molecular ions were observed for all the compounds. Interestingly, for some derivatives, strong ions with double cation adduction were also recorded in the positive mode. It is remarkable that all these ions are singly charged. In this work, possible mechanisms for the double cation adduction were investigated and discussed. It appears that the double cation adduction was due to the electron deficient nature of the derivatives, and formed by taking up two singly charged cations and one electron. Substituents on the anthraquinone ring were found to have a significant effect on the double cation adduction. In contrast, no considerable influence of the acidity of MALDI matrix/solution was observed, even on the double proton adduction. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that double cation adduction might occur in the MALDI gas-phase plume. In addition to the anthraquinones, three more electron deficient compounds of different types, i.e. a perylene bisimide derivative (PB), 3,7-decanoylamino-4,8-dihydrobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-4,8-dione (TQ) and 6,6-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), were also analyzed with MALDI TOF MS. The results indicate that the 'abnormal' double cation adduction might be a 'normal' phenomenon in the MALDI TOF MS analysis of many electron deficient compounds.

Synthesis of Nano-Sized Barium Titanate Powder by Rotary-Hydrothermal Process (2009)

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with narrow size distribution and the high tetragonality were attempted to synthesize by the rotary-hydrothermal process in water system, using two kinds of commercial anatase-type TiO2 (ST21/ST01) with different particle size and Ba(OH)2. The rotary-hydrothermal syntheses were done with the rotary-speed of 20 revolutions per minute at 523 K for 24 h. Highly- and mono-dispersed BaTiO3 powders were successfully synthesized by applying the rotary-hydrothermal process. For rotary-hydrothermal synthesis, it was found that the average size, tetragonality, and quality of the BaTiO3 particle strongly depended on the particle size of the starting material. In the case of using ST01 as a starting material, BaTiO3 nano-powders mainly composed of coarse-faceted particles (average particle size = ca.100 nm) with the tetragonal phase and very little lattice defects were successfully synthesized.
nprR1 and nprR2 regulatory regions for neutral protease expression in Bacillus subtilis (1986)

The gene coding for the Bacillus subtilis extracellular neutral protease was isolated from strain BGSC 1A341, an overproducer carrying the nprR2 region, and from strain 168, a normal producer with the nprR1 sequence. The sequence of about 600 nucleotides upstream from the start codon of the protease gene was determined for both strains. The two regions are highly homologous except for a stretch of 66 base pairs close to the promoter region, which is absent in the BGSC 1A341 gene. Northern blot analysis of the in vivo RNAs indicated that the different levels of enzyme secreted by the two strains were due to different amounts of transcripts that accumulated in the cells. Furthermore, at the end of exponential growth, the amount of transcript increased dramatically in the overproducer strain but remained approximately constant in the normal producer strain. The start point(s) for transcription, however, as determined by S1 nuclease mapping of the in vivo transcripts, appeared to be the same for both genes.
Sampling plan optimization for CD control in low k 1 lithography (2005)

For advanced process control, a sampling plan for critical dimension measurement is optimized through empirical considerations concerning the nature of error and a statistical approach. The metric of the optimization is the accuracy of lot mean estimation. In this work, critical dimension errors are classified into static and dynamic components. The static component is defined as the error which repeats through lots while keeping its tendency, and the dynamic as the error whose tendency changes by lot. In the basic concept of our sampling plan, sampling positions and size are determined from the static and dynamic error, respectively. The balance of sampling number of wafer, field and pattern is obtained under the restriction of total sampling size by a statistical theory with some assumptions. Based on the concept, we could make a sampling plan for 65 nm CMOS lithography.
Informing the design of an automated wayfinding system for individuals with cognitive impairments (2009)

Individuals with cognitive impairments are often prevented from independently living, working, and fully participating in their community due to wayfinding concerns. We conducted two user studies of a mobile wayfinding aid designed to support such individuals. The first study examined usability issu
Secure Collaborative Sensing for Crowd Sourcing Spectrum Data in White Space Networks (2010)

Collaborative Sensing is an important enabling technique for realizing opportunistic spectrum access in white space (cognitive radio) networks. We consider the security ramifications of crowdsourcing of spectrum sensing in presence of malicious users that report false measurements. We propose viewing the area of interest as a grid of square cells and using it to identify and disregard false measurements. The proposed mechanism is based on identifying outlier measurements inside each cell, as well as corroboration among neighboring cells in a hierarchical structure to identify cells with significant number of malicious nodes. We provide a framework for taking into consideration inherent uncertainties, such as loss due to distance and shadowing, to reduce the likelihood of inaccurate classification of legitimate measurements as outliers. We use simulations to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach against attackers with varying degrees of sophistication. The results show that depending on the attacker-type and location parameters, in the worst case we can nullify the effect of up to 41% of attacker nodes in a particular region. This figure is as high as 100% for a large subset of scenarios.
Race Cars (2013)

Particular attention has already been paid to the interfaces between aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics. This is increasingly important in the modern development process. Knowledge of both technical areas is required when a vehicle is in the development stage. The aim of this chapter is to provide a basic understanding of these interfaces.
Cross-Talk of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand Signaling With Renin–Angiotensin System in Vascular Calcification (2013)

The present study demonstrated that Ang II significantly induced vascular calcification in vitro and in vivo through RANKL activation. In addition, RANKL activated renin-angiotensin II system, especially angiotensin II-converting enzyme and Ang II type 1 receptor. Cross-talk between renin-angiotensin II system and RANKL system might work as a vicious cycle to promote vascular calcification in atherosclerosis. Further studies to inhibit renin-angiotensin II system and RANKL may provide new therapeutic options to prevent and regress vascular calcification.

Establishing a Ventilator–Heart Lung Machine Communication Bridge to Mitigate Errors when Weaning from Bypass (2019)

If a perfusionist weans a patient off the heart lung machine (HLM) and the anesthesiologist has not re-started the ventilator, the patient will become hypoxic. The objective of this project was to create a redundant safety system of verbal and electronic communication to prevent failure to ventilate errors after cardiopulmonary bypass. This objective could be realized by building an electronic communication bridge directly between the HLM and ventilator. A software application was created to retrieve and interpret data from the pump and ventilator and trigger a programmed smart alarm. The software is able to interpret data from the pump and ventilator. When both are off simultaneously (defined as a pump flow of 0 L/min with a respiratory rate of 0 breaths/min), the application will raies an alarm. Communication between a pump and ventilator is possible, enabling the deployment of a safety system that could exist in the operating room (OR) as a standalone alarm. A device dataset can be used to optimize clinical performance of the alarm. The application could also be integrated into smart checklists and computer-assisted OR process models that are currently in development.
Large-system analysis of rate regions in bidirectional full-duplex MIMO link: Suppression versus cancellation (2013)

We analyze the performance of bidirectional communication links between two multi-antenna full-duplex transceivers, explicitly taking into account the effect of unavoidable self-interference. The main theme of this paper is to compare spatial-domain suppression (implemented in the form of null-space projection) and subtractive time-domain cancellation: both schemes can eliminate the self-interference but the former consumes spatial degrees of freedom unlike the latter. We perform large-system analysis based on the replica method, while reference simulations show that the asymptotic results are applicable also for practical systems with low number of antennas. In particular, we evaluate rate regions achieved by controlling the spatial multiplexing order in each node and time sharing between different stream configurations. Consequently, we can characterize the rate loss of suppression versus cancellation.
