Rationales for the Lightning Launch Commit Criteria (2016)

Since natural and triggered lightning are demonstrated hazards to launch vehicles, payloads, and spacecraft, NASA and the Department of Defense (DoD) follow the Lightning Launch Commit Criteria (LLCC) for launches from Federal Ranges. The LLCC were developed to prevent future instances of a rocket intercepting natural lightning or triggering a lightning flash during launch from a Federal Range. NASA and DoD utilize the Lightning Advisory Panel (LAP) to establish and develop robust rationale from which the criteria originate. The rationale document also contains appendices that provide additional scientific background, including detailed descriptions of the theory and observations behind the rationales. The LLCC in whole or part are used across the globe due to the rigor of the documented criteria and associated rationale. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) adopted the LLCC in 2006 for commercial space transportation and the criteria were codified in the FAA's Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for Safety of an Expendable Launch Vehicle (Appendix G to 14 CFR Part 417, (G417)) and renamed Lightning Flight Commit Criteria in G417.

Phase equilibria of polypropylene samples with hydrocarbon solvents at high pressures (2001)

Abstract The objective of this work is to provide high‐pressure phase equilibrium data for polypropylene (PP) samples (two commercial and one metallocenic grades) with some hydrocarbon solvents (propane, propylene, n ‐butane and 1‐butene). The experiments were carried out in a high‐pressure variable‐volume view cell in the temperature range of 75–150°C, for polymer compositions ranging from 0.3 to 10 wt %. Phase transitions were recorded visually as cloud points and identified as liquid–liquid and vapor–liquid transitions. When pressure transition data obtained for olefins and paraffins of similar chain length and at similar temperatures and polymer compositions are compared, it may be observed that paraffins lead to the decrease of the pressure transition values. Therefore, the one‐phase region is larger for paraffins than for olefins. In the range of commercial interest analyzed, it is also observed that the influence of polymer average molecular weight upon the cloud points is negligible. Experimental data are then used to build the P‐T diagrams for these systems, allowing the identification of the LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperatures) and LCEP (Lower Critical End Points) curves. Finally, the original SAFT equation of state (SAFT‐EOS) is used to model the experimental data. It is shown that the SAFT‐EOS provides an excellent description of the solution behavior in the whole experimental range analyzed. © 2001 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.

Look ahead orthogonal matching pursuit (2011)

For compressive sensing, we endeavor to improve the recovery performance of the existing orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm. To achieve a better estimate of the underlying support set progressively through iterations, we use a look ahead strategy. The choice of an atom in the current iteration is performed by checking its effect on the future iterations (look ahead strategy). Through experimental evaluations, the effect of look ahead strategy is shown to provide a significant improvement in performance.
Plasmon induced transparency in cascaded π-shaped metamaterials (2011)

We experimentally and numerically demonstrate a planar metamaterial consisting of two asymmetrically positioned π-structures in a single unit that exhibits plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Through the coupling of the constituent nanorod elements, the proposed structure enables fine spectral tuning of the EIT-like behavior and controlling the location of near field enhancement. Originated from the asymmetric cascaded π-structures, we introduce a more compact system which possesses the EIT-like characteristics and as well as much smaller mode volumes. Due to these properties, the proposed metamaterials can be utilized for a wide range of applications including bio-chemical sensors, optical filters and modulators and enhancement of non-linear processes.
Immunogenic Chemotherapy Sensitizes Tumors to Checkpoint Blockade Therapy (2016)

Checkpoint blockade immunotherapies can be extraordinarily effective, but might benefit only the minority of patients whose tumors are pre-infiltrated by T&amp;nbsp;cells. Here, using lung adenocarcinoma mouse models, including genetic models, we show that autochthonous tumors that lacked T&amp;nbsp;cell infiltration and resisted current treatment options could be successfully sensitized to host antitumor T&amp;nbsp;cell immunity when appropriately selected immunogenic drugs (e.g., oxaliplatin combined with cyclophosphamide for treatment against tumors expressing oncogenic Kras and lacking Trp53) were used. The antitumor response was triggered by direct drug actions on tumor cells, relied on innate immune sensing through toll-like receptor 4 signaling, and ultimately depended on CD8(+) T&amp;nbsp;cell antitumor immunity. Furthermore, instigating tumor infiltration by T&amp;nbsp;cells sensitized tumors to checkpoint inhibition and controlled cancer durably. These findings indicate that the proportion of cancers responding to checkpoint therapy can be feasibly and substantially expanded by combining checkpoint blockade with immunogenic drugs.
Dual-Battery Enabled Green Proximal M2M Communications in LPWA for IoT (2018)

Internet of Things (IoT) promotes a heightened level of awareness about our world and makes our life more intelligent and convenient. In IoT, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications enables direct connectivities among machines and devices to automatically exchange information and perform actions. Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) plays a crucial role in provisioning wide area coverage and low energy consumption network for M2M communications in IoT. Moreover, green energy harvesting is essential for mobile machine type-devices (MTDs) to achieve their self-sustainability and independence. Therefore, we propose dual-battery architecture to empower MTDs with concurrent green energy harvesting and IoT functionalities. Rather than routing through an LPWA base station (BS), direct and dual-hop transmissions are proposed for proximal M2M communications. According to the residual green energy in the MTDs' batteries, we provision a relay incentive policy and relay selection schemes to facilitate direct and dual-hop M2M communications. For dual-hop M2M communications, some heuristics are proposed to maximize the overall data rate with low computational complexity. Finally, we validate the performances of the proposed architecture and schemes through extensive simulations.

SP553A MATHEMATICAL MODEL TO ANTICIPATE THE BNP LEVEL IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENT (2018)

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Body fluid retention in chronic dialysis patients is a modifiable risk factor of mortality and cardiovascular events. They often show pulmonary congestion by ultrasonography but remain asymptomatic. Only a few reports have shown that the significant association between Comet score calculated by pulmonary congestion and survival rate. However, there is no data from Japan. We evaluated the Comet score among chronic dialysis patients in Okinawa, Japan and examined the prognosis. METHODS: Multicenter prospective observational study. Comet scores were calculated at the beginning of observation, and divided into 3 groups. Event free survivals (mortality and CVD events) were compared between these groups. RESULTS: We targeted 203 chronic dialysis patients in two facilities. The mean age was 64.7 6 11.5 years, the average dialysis period was 93 6 78 months, the diabetes was 57%, and the average observation period was 24 6 9 months. The average of Comet scores decreased to 8.3 6 11.1 before dialysis and 4.8 6 7.4 after dialysis. There were no difference in Comet score between facilities. There were 10 deaths (5 deaths of infectious diseases) during the observation period and 18 patients for CVD events. There was no association between Comet score and mortality. The event free survival of 24 months of the CVD event was lower in "Comet score 5 or more" than "less than 5" (log rank p <0.05), Unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) 2.52; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03 -7.02). The Comet score was related to LAD and LVDd / Ds. CONCLUSIONS: We considered that Comet score in Japan is a predictor of CVD event rather than mortality. It was considered to be a useful and convenient tool for prognostic prediction, even compared with the CTR or IVC evaluation which is normally performed.
Group Think in Financial Analysis? A Multivariate Study (2008)

This multivariate behavioral research investigates if financial assessments made by analysts may be affected by the professional employment group or sector in which the analyst works. Professional financial analysts from two separate groups were studied. The two groups were analysts for state public service commissions who regulate the public utilities industry and professional private sector analysts who specifically follow stocks and bonds of public utility companies. Members of both groups were asked by way of a mailed survey to analyze multiyear comparative financial statements of a publicly traded electric utility company using variables related to liquidity, long term debt, cash flow, dividends, profitability, as well as the overall financial condition of the firm. The paper describes the data collection process, statistical analysis, and results of the research.

Amygdala processing of the formation and retrieval of cue -reward associations (2008)

This thesis examines the neural changes that contribute to the formation, storage, retrieval and extinction of a learned association between a stimulus and a reward. A number of questions were answered in this thesis to provide insight upon the neural substrates of several goal-directed behaviors: What neural changes mediate the initial formation of an associative memory between a stimulus and a reward? What are the synaptic changes that correspond to the development of a change in task-relevant neuronal firing? What is the mechanism of these synaptic changes, and do they have a causal relationship? How are complex emotions such as frustration represented in the brain? How are reward-associated cues endowed with the power to guide goal-directed behaviors in the absence of primary rewards? Here I show that behavior improves with the rapid recruitment of amygdala neurons to the ensemble encoding a reward-predictive cue, and that this change is mediated by the rapid strengthening of thalamic synapses onto amygdala neurons by a postsynaptic increase of AMPAR-mediated currents. These synaptic changes, in addition to the acquisition of the task, depend on NMDAR activation. Amygdala neurons that store the memory of a reward are activated when an animal compares the expected reward with the unexpected omission of that reward. Finally, distinct populations of amygdala neurons reflect the motivating and reinforcing properties of a cue endowed with the emotional significance to guide behavior.
MODELING ANISOTROPIC GRAIN NOISE IN EDDY-CURRENT NDE: RELIABILITY ASSESSMENT OF INVERSE PROBLEMS (2009)

We use the proprietary volume‐integral code, VIC‐3D©, to develop a numerical model of microstructural noise in a titanium‐like crystal of hexagonal symmetry with random conductivity distributions, and then apply the model to solve inverse problems in which the size of a surface‐breaking flaw is estimated in the presence of the noise generated by the random conductivity. The crucial role of sensitivity parameters and other ‘estimation metrics’ in assessing the quality of the inversion will be discussed.
Wireless Backhaul: Performance Modeling and Impact on User Association for 5G (2018)

Wireless technology is the strongest contender for catering for the 5G backhaul (BH) stipulated performance, where optical fiber is unavailable. In the presence of ultra-dense networks, such occurrences are exponentially increasing, and different wireless technologies are investigated for this application. We present the first BH-specific wireless link performance modeling that considers its inherent line-of-sight nature, together with an appropriate representation of the network topology using stochastic geometry. To this end, novel tractable models are obtained to capture the performance of wireless BH links. These are integrated into a multi-hop hybrid BH performance modeling framework and are applied in the analysis of a BH-aware user association optimization problem.
High sensitivity multi-axes rotation sensing using large momentum transfer point source atom interferometry (2020)

A point source interferometer (PSI) is a device where atoms are split and recombined by applying a temporal sequence of Raman pulses during the expansion of a cloud of cold atoms behaving approximately as a point source. The PSI can work as a sensitive multi-axes gyroscope that can automatically filter out the signal from accelerations. The phase shift arising from rotations is proportional to the momentum transferred to each atom from the Raman pulses. Therefore, by increasing the momentum transfer, it should be possibly to enhance the sensitivity of the PSI. Here, we investigate the degree of enhancement in sensitivity that could be achieved by augmenting the PSI with large momentum transfer (LMT) employing a sequence of many Raman pulses with alternating directions. Contrary to typical approaches used for describing a PSI, we employ a model under which the motion of the center of mass of each atom is described quantum mechanically. We show how increasing Doppler shifts lead to imperfections, thereby limiting the visibility of the signal fringes, and identify ways to suppress this effect by increasing the effective, two-photon Rabi frequencies of the Raman pulses. Taking into account the effect of spontaneous emission, we show that, for a given value of the one-photon Rabi frequency, there is an optimum value for the number of pulses employed, beyond which the net enhancement in sensitivity begins to decrease. For a one-photon Rabi frequency of 200 MHz, for example, the peak value of the factor of enhancement in sensitivity is ~39, for a momentum transfer that is ~69 times as large as that for a conventional PSI. We also find that this peak value scales as the one-photon Rabi frequency to the power of 4/5.

Ablation of conceptus PTGS2 expression does not alter early conceptus development and establishment of pregnancy in the pig† (2019)

Pig conceptuses secrete estrogens (E2), interleukin 1 beta 2 (IL1B2), and prostaglandins (PGs) during the period of rapid trophoblast elongation and establishment of pregnancy. Previous studies established that IL1B2 is essential for rapid conceptus elongation, whereas E2 is not essential for conceptus elongation or early maintenance of the corpora lutea. The objective of the present study was to determine if conceptus expression of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and release of PG are important for early development and establishment of pregnancy. To understand the role of PTGS2 in conceptus elongation and pregnancy establishment, a loss-of-function study was conducted by editing PTGS2 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Wild-type (PTGS2+/+) and null (PTGS2-/-) fibroblast cells were used to create embryos through somatic cell nuclear transfer. Immunolocalization of PTGS2 and PG production was absent in cultured PTGS2-/- blastocysts on day 7. PTGS2+/+ and PTGS2-/- blastocysts were transferred into surrogate gilts, and the reproductive tracts were collected on either days 14, 17, or 35 of pregnancy. After flushing the uterus on days 14 and 17, filamentous conceptuses were cultured for 3 h to determine PG production. Conceptus release of total PG, prostaglandin F2⍺ (PGF2α), and PGE in culture media was lower with PTGS2-/- conceptuses compared to PTGS2+/+ conceptuses. However, the total PG, PGF2α, and PGE content in the uterine flushings was not different. PTGS2-/- conceptus surrogates allowed to continue pregnancy were maintained beyond 30 days of gestation. These results indicate that pig conceptus PTGS2 is not essential for early development and establishment of pregnancy in the pig.
Risks and benefits of structured antiretroviral drug therapy interruptions in HIV-1 infection (2000)

The models suggest that structured therapy interruption only leads to transient or sustained virus control if the immune effector cells increase during therapy. This increase must more than counterbalance the increase in susceptible target cells induced by therapy. The risk of inducing drug resistance by therapy interruptions or the risk of repopulating the pool of latent cells during drug-free periods may be small if the virus population remains at levels considerably below baseline. However, if the virus load increases during drug-free periods to levels similar to or higher than baseline before therapy, both these risks increase dramatically.

Affinity labeling of the plasma membrane 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine receptor in GH3 cells. (1982)

The binding of 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) to GH3 rat pituitary tumor cells was studied at 15 degrees C and was shown to be saturable, reversible, and stereospecific. Least-squares analysis of the binding data showed two classes of binding sites with dissociation constants of 1.8 +/- 0.2 nM and 260 +/- 30 nM and binding capacities of (5.2 +/- 0.2) X 10(4) and (1.6 +/- 0.2) X 10(6) sites per cell, respectively. Affinity labeling of intact cells was carried out by incubation of cells with 0.3 nM N-bromoacetyl-[125I]T3 at 15 degrees C for 1 hr. Analysis of the cellular extracts by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis showed three labeled protein bands with apparent molecular masses of 55, 47, and 33 kilodaltons (kDal) in a ratio of 86:7:7. The labeling of only the 55-kDal protein band was selectively reduced to 50% by 20 microM unlabeled T3. Highly purified plasma membranes of GH3 cells were prepared and shown to be free of nuclei. Affinity labeling of the purified plasma membranes gave the same labeling pattern as with intact cells. Peptide mapping by Staphylococcus aureus V8 digestion of the 55-kDal protein from cells or plasma membranes gave the identical peptide fragments. Thus the 55-kDal protein labeled from intact cells is the same protein as that from purified plasma membranes. These results together with our earlier findings [Horiuchi, R., Cheng, S.-y., Willingham, M. & Pastan, I. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 3139-3144] suggest that the 55-kDal protein may be involved in mediating the uptake of T3 in GH3 cells.
