Control of Inductive Power Transfer systems: A comparison (2014)

Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) is a technique used for contactless power transfer from one system to another across a large air gap. The technology had been proposed for Electric Vehicle (EV) charging applications, and over the years the power transfer capability between the loosely coupled systems has improved. In this paper, the two most commonly used methodologies for unidirectional and bidirectional control of IPT systems are compared. Simulation models for each system are developed accounting for their behavior and sensitivity to variations in circuit parameters. The validity of these models is verified and the efficiency of each system is investigated using a 1.4 kW prototype systems. This comprehensive evaluation is expected to be useful when making a decision between control schemes for EV charging application.
Electroconvulsive Therapy Decreases Dopamine D2Receptor Binding in the Anterior Cingulate in Patients With Depression (2009)

Electroconvulsive therapy decreased D(2) receptor binding in the rostral AC in MDD patients responding to ECT. Our finding suggests that one of the biologic mechanisms of ECT could be related to dopaminergic alteration in the rostral AC.
Screening for isolated diastolic dysfunction ? a bridge too far? (2005)

Please see page 85 for the article by Nielsen et al. (doi: 10.1016/j.euje.2004.07.004) to which this editorial pertains .

Advances in our ability to reduce the immediate mortality associated with acute coronary syndrome and hypertension have resulted in an inexorable increase in chronic myocardial dysfunction. In the United Kingdom ∼2% of the population have left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), which develops with an incidence of 10 per 1000 among persons older than 65 and is expanding in absolute terms with the demographic transition.1 The mortality of heart failure approaches 50% for patients with NYHA Class IV symptoms.2 Notable advances in the treatment of LVSD have resulted from widespread implementation of pharmacological, revascularisation, device and rehabilitation therapies; this is especially true if treatment is initiated early in the disease. An inevitable next step is therefore to extend and translate the successes of LVSD to identifying and treating its less familiar co-conspirator “Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction” (LVDD). For this proposition to be practicable, a number of interdependent questions need to be resolved: 

While rare clinical and experimental causes of “pure” myocardial diastolic dysfunction are recognised, in which active ventricular relaxation fuelled by ATP or passive ventricular distension dependent on myocardial mass and viscoeleastic properties are impaired, LVDD is more heterogeneous. Similar to LVSD, the pathophysiological debate will probably be resolved by recognising that most patients have a varying combination of an abnormally stiff ventricle with an abnormal active relaxation ( τ ) or passive filling (end-diastolic pressure–volume relationship – EDPVR) that is exacerbated by dynamic neurohormonal loading through varying central volume expansion and increased heart rates. This combination chronically raises LV filling and left atrial pressures (LAP) ultimately resulting in …
Antiarrhythmic drug combinations in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia. (1982)

Combinations of antiarrhythmic drugs are frequently used to treat refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT), but few scientific data support this practice. We examined the efficacy and electrophysiology of 110 antiarrhythmic drug combination trials at electrophysiologic study in 74 patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia. Lidocaine was combined with quinidine in 33 trials, procainamide in 22 and encainide in 20. Propranolol was combined with quinidine in 17 trials, procainamide in 12 and encainide in six. All individual drugs tested (except propranolol, which was usually not tested individually) had failed at electrophysiologic study or clinically in the presence of usually accepted plasma concentrations. Lidocaine in combination with quinidine was effective in 3% of the trials, with procanamide in 5% and with encainide in none of the trials. Propranolol in combination with quinidine was effective in 18% of the trials, with procainamide in 17% and with encainide in none of the trials. The electrophysiologic effects of the tested drug combinations were dominated by the individual effects of the type 1 antiarrhythmic agents. We conclude that the tested antiarrhythmic drug combinations are infrequently effective in preventing VT induction at electrophysiologic study when each agent has failed individually. The addition of lidocaine or propranolol to quinidine, procainamide or encainide does not produce significant synergistic or new effects on the electrophysiologic variables analyzed.
IDL—a statistical programming environment (1990)

IDL is an exploration of how recent advances in hardware/software technology might be exploited to qualitatively change the way statisticians approach computer-aided data analysis. In particular, it is suggested that fast-prototyping environments, such as those supported by lisp-machine workstations, provide a superior substrate for interactive data analysis. However, these environments must be augmented by suitable quantitative and statistical computational abstractions tuned to the problem domain.
IDL presents a nested series of these abstracts, starting with basic building blocks, such as an array calculator, proceeding upward through a model for analytic graphics, and culminating in a scheme for rendering datasets and analyses in an object-oriented fashion. To motivate design decisions, representative examples from a selection of data-analytic situations have been worked out in full. Yet, there is no claim that IDL provides the coverage that one might find in a more mature statistical programming environment, such as S. Instead, IDL demonstrates an extensible architecture for data-analytic computation that will accommodate a wide diversity of techniques in a form that encourages exploration and improvisation.
The top-level layer of IDL illustrates many of its design goals. It attempts to package together implementation level components into higher-level computational abstractions that better reflect the domain of interest. This is accomplished through a careful decomposition of the problem space and extensive use of object-oriented programming. Measurement and tag objects capture context. Distribution and transformation objects reflect useful data-independent abstractions. Situation objects express an intent to pursue a particular line of investigation. Analyses themselves are captured as summaries or model objects. Audit trails are implemented by chaining summaries to their situations.

Investigation of virtual dimensionality and Broken Stick Rule for hyperspectral images (2010)

In an effort to assess effective linear dimensionality of hyperspectral images, a notion of virtual dimensionality (VD) has been developed, and it is being used in many papers. In this paper, we argue that VD is not a suitable method for that purpose. We then introduce an alternative method to VD that we call the Modified Broken-Stick Rule. We show a numerical example of implementing the new method on an AVIRIS image (used in previous studies) for which VD cannot be defined.
Sintering and Microstructure of Mullite Aerogels (1988)

Mullite (3Al 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2 ) was prepared by a sol‐gel process and dried by supercritical extraction with CO 2 . The aerogel (&lt;0.05 of the theoretical density of mullite) experienced a shrinkage of up to 0.6 and reached a density of only ∼0.5 of theoretical after 1 h at 1350°C Mechanically compacted aerogels, however, sintered to nearly theoretical density below 1200°C. This density is somewhat higher than those of gels prepared by conventional drying (i.e., exposure to the atmosphere) and is considerably higher than mullite prepared from mixed powders at higher temperatures. Although the X‐ray diffraction pattern of the sintered gels was almost identical to that of mullite, transmission electron microscopy and energy‐dispersive microanalysis showed two types of grain structure. Elongated grains with an Al/Si atomic ratio corresponding to that of stoichiometric mullite were surrounded by equiaxed grains with a lower Al/Si ratio.
Upregulation of C/EBPα Inhibits Suppressive Activity of Myeloid Cells and Potentiates Antitumor Response in Mice and Patients with Cancer (2021)

This report demonstrates that therapeutic upregulation of the transcription factor C/EBPα causes inactivation of immune-suppressive myeloid cells with potent antitumor responses across different tumor models and in cancer patients. MTL-CEBPA is currently being investigated in combination with pembrolizumab in a phase I/Ib multicenter clinical study (NCT04105335).

Integration and transcription of mouse mammary tumor virus DNA in rat hepatoma cells. (1979)

Rat hepatoma cells infected with mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) acquire viral DNA that becomes covalently linked to the cell DNA. Using restriction endonucleases and the DNA transfer procedure of Southern [Southern , E.M. (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 98, 503--517], we have studied the sites in cellular DNA into which MMTV DNA inserts. These experiments indicate that: (i) there are many sites in cell DNA into which MMTV DNA integrates; (ii) the junctions between viral and cellular DNA occur within a limited portion of the viral genome, (iii) clones that contain MMTV DNA do not necessarily produce viral RNA; and (iv) the extent of transcription and glucocorticoid responsiveness of MMTV proviruses may be dependent on the site(s) in cell DNA in which the viral DNA resides.

Aminosilane-Functionalized Hollow Fiber Sorbents for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture (2013)

Increasing carbon dioxide emissions are generally believed to contribute to global warming. Developing new materials for capturing CO2 emitted from coal-fired plants can potentially mitigate the effect of these CO2 emissions. In this study, we developed and optimized porous hollow fiber sorbents with both improved sorption capacities and rapid sorption kinetics by functionalizing aminosilane (N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminoisobutyldimethylmethoxysilane) to cellulose acetate hollow fibers as a “proof of concept”. A lumen-side barrier layer was also developed in the aminosilane-functionalized cellulose acetate fiber sorbent to allow for facile heat exchange without significant mass transfer with the bore-side heat transfer fluid. The functionalized cellulose acetate fiber sorbents were characterized by pressure decay sorption measurements, multicomponent column chromatography, FT-IR, elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The carbon dioxide sorption capacity at 1 atm is 0.73 mmol/g by using the pressure decay apparatus. Multicomponent column chromatography measurements showed that aminosilane functionalized cellulose acetate fiber sorbent has a CO2 sorption capacity of 0.23 mmol/g at CO2 partial pressure 0.1 atm and 35 °C in simulated flue gas. While this capacity is low, our proof of concept positions the technology to move forward to higher capacity with work that is underway. The presence of silicon and nitrogen elements in the elemental analysis confirmed the success of grafting along with FT-IR spectra which showed the absorbance peak (∼810 cm–1) for Si–C stretching. A cross-linked Neoprene material was used to form the lumen-side barrier layer. Preliminary data showed the required reduction in gas permeance to eliminate mixing between shell side and bore side fluid flows. Specifically the permeance was reduced from 10 000 GPUs for the neat fibers to 6.6 ± 0.1 and 3.3 ± 0.3 GPUs for the coated fibers. The selected lumen layer formation materials demonstrated strong resistance to water and oxygen.
A Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Expressing a Membrane-Anchored Spike as a Cost-Effective Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine (2020)

A successful severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine must not only be safe and protective, but must also meet the demand on a global scale at a low cost. Using the current influenza virus vaccine production capacity to manufacture an egg-based inactivated Newcastle disease virus (NDV)/SARS-CoV-2 vaccine would meet that challenge. Here, we report pre-clinical evaluations of an inactivated NDV chimera stably expressing the membrane-anchored form of the spike (NDV-S) as a potent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in mice and hamsters. The inactivated NDV-S vaccine was immunogenic, inducing strong binding and/or neutralizing antibodies in both animal models. More importantly, the inactivated NDV-S vaccine protected animals from SARS-CoV-2 infections. In the presence of an adjuvant, antigen-sparing could be achieved, which would further reduce the cost while maintaining the protective efficacy of the vaccine.
Revealing the Complex Structural Intergrowth Within Ternary W-Nb-O Oxide (2019)

Niobium Oxide (Nb2O5) can form extensive series of ternary compounds with tungsten oxide (WO3) by means of solid-state reaction. Although many kinds of compounds such as WNb12O33, W3Nb14O44, W5Nb16O55 and W8Nb18O69 have been identified more than 60 years ago [1, 2], only recently, it has been found that W5Nb16O55 can intercalate large quantities of Li at a higher charge/discharge rate. This process occurs even when the size of the tungsten niobium oxides are in micrometer scale However, literature lacks of deep structural investigations of these complex oxides and only provide very low spatial resolution information.
A Framework to Report the Production of Biodiesel From Algae (2009)

Recently, algae have received a significant amount of attention as a potential feedstock for alternative fuels. Although multiple fuels have been proposed that would use algae as a feedstock, the most commonly explored algae-based alternative fuel is biodiesel. There are several coarse estimates that quantify the potential of algae as a feedstock for biodiesel. Some of these analyses have not incorporated specific values of algal lipid content and did not include processing inefficiencies. For example, in some analyses, specificity to the algal species and growth conditions is not provided, thereby introducing the opportunity for error. In addition, all necessary processing steps required for biodiesel production and their associated energy, materials, and costs might not be included. The accuracy associated with these estimates can be improved by using data that are more specific, including all relevant information for biodiesel production, and by presenting information with more relevant metrics. In order to determine whether algae are a viable source for biodiesel, two questions must be answered: 1) how much biodiesel can be produced from algae, and 2) what is the cost of production? To accurately answer these questions, we propose a framework for characterizing biodiesel production from algae. The framework focuses on three main principles. The first principle is the need for results to be presented in strong metrics. The strength of a metric is dependent upon the amount of information that it represents. The second principle in the proposed framework is that we suggest that researchers leave unknown information in symbolic form in order to present results in strong metrics. Presenting results in this manner ensures that results are not taken out of context; enables primary research results to be incorporated in systems-level analyses; and specifically identifies the areas where additional research is needed. The third principle is that results should be specific (to algal species, growth conditions, and product composition) and include as much information relevant to the entire biodiesel production pathway as possible, particularly including information for the energy, materials, and cost balances. To illustrate the application of the proposed framework, several examples of strong reporting metrics are presented. In addition, the presentation of unknowns in symbolic notation, and the associated benefit, is demonstrated. Finally, the limitations of several non-specific and non-inclusive reporting metrics are presented to highlight the necessity for consistent results regarding the potential for algae as a biodiesel feedstock.
Soap (2006)

Soap is a pointing device based on hardware found in a mouse, yet works in mid-air. Soap consists of an optical sensor device moving freely inside a hull made of fabric. As the user applies pressure from the outside, the optical sensor moves independent from the hull. The optical sensor perceives this relative motion and reports it as position input. Soap offers many of the benefits of optical mice, such as high-accuracy sensing. We describe the design of a soap prototype and report our experiences with four application scenarios, including a wall display, Windows Media Center, slide presentation, and interactive video games.
N-Deacetyl-N-aminoacylthiocolchicine Derivatives:  Synthesis and Biological Evaluation on MDR-Positive and MDR-Negative Human Cancer Cell Lines (1999)

A new series of N-deacetyl-N-(N-trifluoroacetylaminoacyl)thiocolchicine derivatives 9-15 have been synthesized starting from the corresponding N-deacetylthiocolchicine (3) and the N-trifluoroacetylamino acids 5-8 which were used as a racemic mixture. The trifluoroacetyl protecting group has been removed easily, giving the corresponding N-deacetyl-N-aminoacylthiocolchicines 16-22. Optical pure compounds 9-22 were isolated from the diastereoisomeric mixture or were prepared starting from compound 3 and an optical pure amino acid derivative; the configuration of each compound was assigned unequivocally. The diastereoisomeric couples of amino acids synthesized were tested, and their antiproliferative activity on MDR-positive and MDR-negative human cancer cell lines was evaluated.
Mechanistic Insight Leads to a Ligand Which Facilitates the Palladium‐Catalyzed Formation of 2‐(Hetero)Arylaminooxazoles and 4‐(Hetero)Arylaminothiazoles (2017)

By using mechanistic insight, a new ligand (EPhos) for the palladium-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling between primary amines and aryl halides has been developed. Employing an isopropoxy group at the C3-position favors the C-bound isomer of the ligand-supported palladium(II) complexes and leads to significantly improved reactivity. The use of a catalyst system based on EPhos with NaOPh as a mild homogeneous base proved to be very effective in the formation of 4-arylaminothiazoles and highly functionalized 2-arylaminooxazoles. Previously, these were not readily accessible using palladium catalysis.
Extended tropism of an adenoviral vector does not circumvent the maturation-dependent transducibility of mouse skeletal muscle (1999)

Despite the enhanced attachment characteristics, the extended tropism adenoviral vector is, similarly to the wild-type adenoviral vector in previous studies, still hindered by both a protective extracellular matrix and the diminished myoblast-mediation in mature muscle.
Cavity pattern formation and cavity solitons with incoherent light (2003)

We show that patterns and solitons can form when spatially and temporally incoherent light circulates in a passive nonlinear cavity with noninstantaneous medium. The pattern formation process is always associated with two consecutive thresholds. The first (instability) threshold is unaffected by the cavity boundary conditions, whereas the second threshold is induced by the feedback through the interplay of nonlinear gain and cavity loss.
Field Modeling for Plate-Core Inductor With Significant Fringing Using Equal-Flux Contours (2017)

An inductor with winding sandwiched between two core plates is analyzed to model the nonuniform distribution of magnetic field. The winding is placed near the edge of the core to maximize the energy within the limited footprint such that the amount of energy stored outside the core volume is not negligible. The proportional-reluctance, equal-flux model is developed to build the contours with equal amount of flux by governing the reluctance of the flux path. The shapes of the flux lines are modeled by different functions that are guided by the finite-element simulation. The field calculated from the flux lines enables calculation of inductance, winding loss, and core loss. The inductance is used as a figure of merit to evaluate the modeling accuracy. Prototypes made of flexible circuit for inductors with different layouts are measured to verify the model. The measured inductances agree with the modeled result by less than 13% error.
