Cultivar variability in the Agrobacterium‐rice cell interaction and plant regeneration (1999)

Thirteen cultivars of rice ( Oryza sativa ) were tested for plant regeneration from calli initiated from the scutella of mature seeds by water stress treatment using a high concentration of agarose, and examined for their response to Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404, carrying a plasmid pTOK233, harboring genes for kanamycin resistance ( npt II), hygromycin resistance ( hpt ) and β ‐glucuronidase ( gus ). Plant regeneration frequency was considerably increased in most of the cultivars when the calli were treated with water stress, as compared with untreated controls. In particular, the cultivars Dongjinbyeo, IR43, Nagdongbyeo and Sinseonchalbyeo showed an increased frequency of shoot regeneration. Expression of GUS was detected in all of the co‐cultivated cultivars. Based on GUS expression at 3 days after co‐cultivation with A. tumefaciens , three rice cultivars (Dongjinbyeo, Hwayoungbyeo and Nagdongbyeo) were judged highly susceptible to A. tumefaciens , while Milyang 23, Nonganbyeo and Samgangbyeo cultivars were weakly susceptible. Plantlets were readily regenerated when the hygromycin‐resistant calli were transferred to a regeneration medium containing hygromycin. Intense blue staining was observed in GUS assays of leaf segments, roots and flower organs from regenerated plants. Stable integration and expression of the introduced hpt and gus genes were confirmed by Southern blot analysis of the transformants. Therefore, Dongjinbyeo and Nagdongbyeo cultivars proved to be both highly susceptible to A. tumefaciens and highly responsive to plant regeneration.

Plasma-sprayed coatings for very high temperature solar absorbers (1979)

Plasma-sprayed coatings on steel plates were tested at the White Sands Solar Facility at temperatures from 200/sup 0/C to 1000/sup 0/C. Analysis of the specimens before and after testing showed erbium dodecaboride (ErB/sub 12/), yttrium hexaboride (YB/sub 6/), titanium diboride (TiB/sub 2/), and chromium oxide (Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/) to be stable above 600/sup 0/C. A heat balance on the water-cooled specimens of these coatings showed 71% to 97% heat recovery efficiency.
Driving Drug Discovery with Biophysical Information (2017)

Staphylococcus aureus dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a classic chemotherapeutic and antibacterial target, which has been the subject of numerous structural, protein dynamic, and mechanistic studies for over 20 years. A clinically relevant drug-resistant mutant, S1 of the S. aureus (SA) ortholog of DHFR has been identified, and DHFR inhibitors such as trimethoprim are about 100–1000-fold less potent against it compared with the wild type. A loss of enthalpy of interaction between compounds and S1 mutant is detected by isothermal calorimetry. The source of these potency differences is not clearly evident based solely on the low energy static WT and S1 X-ray structures. To address this issue, biophysical methods including NMR solution dynamic studies, in conjunction with thermodynamic, kinetic, computational, and structural information, are being employed to understand potency differences for both in vitro and whole-cell MIC activity studies. Protein dynamics observed by NMR clearly show differences in the binding pockets of WT and S1 proteins as binary and ternary complexes with the cofactor NADPH and trimethoprim. These differences are not observed in static X-ray structures. Kinetics of binding determined by SPR indicate that the reduction in binding affinities arises from faster off rates and they show correlation to whole-cell MICs. In this chapter, the use of biophysical data to generate hypotheses and to guide chemical design for S1 mutant inhibitors is discussed.
Adaptive macroblock layer rate control for H.264/AVC via histogram-based R-D estimation (2006)

In this paper, we propose a bit-rate control algorithm for H.264/AVC using the rate and distortion model estimated by the histogram of DCT coefficients. Since the proposed algorithm induces the rate and distortion model from the current macroblock instead of the previous coded frame or macroblock, it can effectively prevent the fluctuation of the output bits especially when scene change occurs, while keeping the quality in same level.
Optical Coherence Tomographic Angiography in Type 2 Diabetes and Diabetic Retinopathy (2017)

Optical coherence tomographic angiography is a novel imaging modality to quantify the retinal capillary microvasculature in patients with diabetes. It can be potentially used in interventional trials to study the effect of systemic risk factors on the microvasculature that was previously not accessible in a noninvasive manner. The relevance of these findings relative to visual acuity, however, remains largely unknown at this time.
Effect of Iron Plating Conditions on Reaction in Molten Lead-Free Solder (2004)

To demonstrate the dissolution of plated iron in molten lead-free solder and the effect of iron-plating conditions on reactions in molten lead-free solder, the reaction test between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (mass%) solder and plated iron was performed. An Iron-plated copper plate, which was made by electroplating iron onto an oxygen-free copper substrate, was used as the test piece. The reaction test was carried out by using an oven in normal air. The solder was placed on the test piece and it was put into an oven held at 400, 430 and 460°C. The interface between the solder and plated iron was particularly examined. It was found that the intermetallic compound of FeSn2 was formed at the interface regardless of the plating conditions. The results showed that the grain size of plated iron decreased with the increased current density and the dissolution thickness of plated iron in molten lead-free solder increased with the increased current density in the rack plating. In the barrel plating, the grain size was rather small in all the test pieces and the dissolution thickness was rather thick. Thus it has been made clear that the dissolution of plated iron in molten lead-free solder is attributable to the grain size of plated iron.
Inhibition of Ethylene Synthesis in Tomato Plants Subjected to Anaerobic Root Stress (1982)

Enhanced ethylene production and leaf epinasty are characteristic responses of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) to waterlogging. It has been proposed (Bradford, Yang 1980 Plant Physiol 65: 322-326) that this results from the synthesis of the immediate precursor of ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), in the waterlogged roots, its export in the transpiration stream to the shoot, and its rapid conversion to ethylene. Inhibitors of the ethylene biosynthetic pathway are available for further testing of this ACC transport hypothesis: aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) or aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) block the synthesis of ACC, whereas CO(2+) prevents its conversion to ethylene. AOA and AVG, supplied in the nutrient solution, were found to inhibit the synthesis and export of ACC from anaerobic roots, whereas Co(2+) had no effect, as predicted from their respective sites of action. Transport of the inhibitors to the shoot was demonstrated by their ability to block wound ethylene synthesis in excised petioles. All three inhibitors reduced petiolar ethylene production and epinasty in anaerobically stressed tomato plants. With AOA and AVG, this was due to the prevention of ACC import from the roots as well as inhibition of ACC synthesis in the petioles. With Co(2+), conversion of both root- and petiole-synthesized ACC to ethylene was blocked. Collectively, these data support the hypothesis that the export of ACC from low O(2) roots to the shoot is an important factor in the ethylene physiology of waterlogged tomato plants.

Hands-on electromagnetics: microstrip circuit and antenna design laboratories at USU (2003)

New laboratories for microstrip circuit and antenna design have been developed at Utah State University. These laboratories are used to provide hands-on design, fabrication, and testing experience in two senior/graduate level design courses-ECE 6130 Microwave Engineering and ECE 6170 Antenna Design. HP/EESOF Libra software and other available software is used heavily throughout these courses. New facilities for fabrication and testing have been developed, including a low-cost holder for connection of microstrip circuits to the network analyzer, use of an LPKF circuit-board mill to mill circuits, and simple methods to prototype designs using copper tape. Tutorials to quickly teach the students to use the HP/EESOF Libra software and HP measuring equipment are available on the Web. The laboratory exercises, design of the low-cost holder, tutorials, and examples of completed student design projects are available on the Web.
<title>Equivalency of Bayesian multisensor information fusion and neural networks</title> (2001)

This paper proposes a Bayesian multi-sensor object localization approach that keeps track of the observability of the sensors in order to maximize the accuracy of the final decision. This is accomplished by adaptively monitoring the mean-square-error of the results of the localization system. Knowledge of this error and the distribution of the system's object localization estimates allow the result of each sensor to be scaled and combined in an optimal Bayesian sense. It is shown that under conditions of normality, the Bayesian sensor fusion approach is directly equivalent to a single layer neural network with a sigmoidal non-linearity. Furthermore, spatial and temporal feedback in the neural networks can be used to compensate for practical difficulties such as the spatial dependencies of adjacent positions. Experimental results using 10 binary microphone arrays yield an order of magnitude improvement in localization error for the proposed approach when compared to previous techniques.
Method for recognizing operation statuses of metal cutting machine tools using spindle motor current (2018)

Monitoring the operation status of machine tools using IoT is widely carried out in order to improve productivity. However, at manufacturing sites, a lot of legacy machines, which are old and lack the capability of sending data on their operation status to networks, are still in use because the average useful life of machine tools is more than 20 years. Therefore, we developed method for recognizing the operation status of machine tools using a spindle motor current acquired by a current sensor. Because this current is in proportion to the spindle torque, a conventional method recognizes the operation status when the current amplitude is above a threshold value. However, in a high-mix low-volume factory, the threshold value must be reset frequently because a drill and the cutting process change per order so the spindle torque varies. In contrast, we propose an automatic recognition method that can learn the variance in spindle motor current by unsupervised learning and with labelling scheme based on prior knowledge. We app..lied the proposed method to eight kinds of machine tools in a real factory, and the accuracy rate of the operation status estimation was more than 80% for all the machines. This result shows that all machine tools could be monitored by using this method.
Body-Related Emotional Experiences of Young Aboriginal Women (2006)

Concerns related to the body are associated with health-compromising behaviors, and although research has indicated that young Aboriginal women are dissatisfied with their bodies, their voices have typically been absent from the literature. The purpose of this case study was to provide insight into the body-related emotional experiences of young, Canadian, urban Aboriginal women. Four young women participated; 3 identified themselves as Aboriginal (one 14-year-old, two 18-year-olds) and 1 as non-Aboriginal (18 years old). Multiple methods (focus group, one-on-one interviews, and artwork) provided the authors the opportunity to listen to the young women's stories. Five themes emerged: (a) conflicting cultures, (b) need to belong, (c) the beauty of difference, (d) journey to acceptance of the body, and (e) the body affects everything. This research highlights the complexity of young Aboriginal women's body-related emotional experiences and indicates that their experiences might not be as negative as previous research has led us to believe.

A high density 48 V 200 A rectifier with power factor correction-an engineering overview (2005)

In telecommunications installations it is desirable for power equipment to draw a balanced three phase current at unity power factor with zero neutral current. A compact 48 V, 200 A rectifier weighing 32 kg has been commercially developed for this need. The rectifier employs the power conversion techniques first reported at INTELEC 1989 by Dennis Chapman of Swichtec Power Systems (formerly Eltec Electronics), New Zealand. Powered from a three wire, three phase 400 V, 50-60 Hz supply the rectifier presents essentially a unity power factor to the line. The thermal layout adopted, combined with fan cooling, keeps the overall dimensions to 400 mm wide/spl times/178 mm high/spl times/460 mm deep (4U/spl times/19 inch rack module). Maximum continuous output power is 11.2 kW (56 V, 200 A) at an efficiency of 90%. The rectifier comprises three modules. Each module operates at 230 V AC and can supply up to 70 A at 56 V DC. The three modules are connected in a star or 'Y' configuration. The junction point of the three modules is maintained at the equivalent neutral point voltage by controlling the power processed by each module.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Prolonged Morphine Exposure Induces Increased Firm Adhesion in an in Vitro Model of the Blood–Brain Barrier (2016)

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) has been defined as a critically important protective barrier that is involved in providing essential biologic, physiologic, and immunologic separation between the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery. Insults to the BBB can cause overall barrier damage or deregulation of the careful homeostasis maintained between the periphery and the CNS. These insults can, therefore, yield numerous phenotypes including increased overall permeability, interendothelial gap formation, alterations in cytokine and chemokine secretion, and accelerated cellular passage. The current studies expose the human brain microvascular endothelial cell line, hCMEC/D3, to prolonged morphine exposure and aim to uncover the mechanisms underlying alterations in barrier function in vitro. These studies show alterations in the mRNA and protein levels of the cellular adhesion molecules (CAMs) intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule that correlate with an increased firm adhesion of the CD3⁺ subpopulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Overall, these studies suggest that prolonged morphine exposure may result in increased cell migration into the CNS, which may accelerate pathological processes in many diseases that involve the BBB.
Synthesis of quinolinyl-based pincer copper(ii) complexes: an efficient catalyst system for Kumada coupling of alkyl chlorides and bromides with alkyl Grignard reagents (2018)

Quinolinamide-based pincer copper(ii) complexes, κN,κN,κN-{C9H6N-(μ-N)-C(O)CH2NEt2}CuX [(QNNNEt2)CuX (X = Cl, 2; X = Br, 3; X = OAc, 4)], were synthesized by the reaction of ligand (QNNNEt2)-H (1) with CuX2 (X = Cl, Br or OAc) in the presence of Et3N. The reaction of (QNNNEt2)-H with CuX (X = Cl, Br or OAc) also afforded the Cu(ii) complexes 2, 3 and 4, respectively, instead of the expected Cu(i) pincer complexes. The formation of Cu(ii) complexes from Cu(i) precursors most likely occurred via the disproportionation reaction of Cu(i) into Cu(0) and Cu(ii). A cationic complex [(QNNNEt2)Cu(CH3CN)]OTf (5) was synthesized by the treatment of neutral complex 2 with AgOTf. On the other hand, the reaction of (QNNNEt2)-H (1) with [Cu(MeCN)4]ClO4 produced cationic Cu(i) complex, [(QNN(H)NEt2)Cu(CH3CN)]ClO4 (6), in good yield. All complexes 2-5 were characterized by elemental analysis and HRMS measurements. Furthermore, the molecular structures of 2, 3 and 4 were elucidated by X-ray crystallography. Complex 4 crystallizes in a dimeric and catemeric pattern. The cationic complex 5 was found to be an efficient catalyst for the Kumada coupling reaction of diverse nonactivated alkyl chlorides and bromides with alkyl magnesium chloride under mild reaction conditions.
Micro Transfer Printing Various Thickness Components Directly from Dicing Tape (2023)

Micro transfer printing (MTP) is a useful method for heterogenous integration of micro-scale devices. Devices that are micro transfer printed can be a variety of sizes but are always typically thin (less than <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$20\mu \mathrm{m}$</tex>) and employ a sacrificial layer that can be selectively etched to enable to device to be pickable. In this paper, we expand the capability of MTP by picking and printing a wide range of device thicknesses. In addition to device thickness, we also explore a new technique for MTP. This new technique does not require a sacrificial layer, but instead picks components directly from exposed ultraviolet (UV) dicing tape. This new method of MTP also allows for the transfer of larger components, several millimeters in length and width, than previously thought possible using traditional micro transfer printing.
Comparative study on the effect of NaCl and Na_2SO_4 salinity on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa (2013)

The effect of NaCl and Na2SO4 salinity on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa was estimated using simulated experiment.M11 cultures were tested with variable salinity concentrations(0.5,1.0,2.0 and 4.0 g·L-1) and the effects of salinity on the cell density and chlorophyll a were identified.The results demonstrated that M.aeruginosa could endure osmotic pressure of 2.0 g·L-1salinity,whereas the growth of M.aeruginosa was restrained under hyper-saline conditions with the salinity of above 2.0 g·L-1.Comparative study on the effects of salinity on the growth and chlorophyll contents of NaCl and Na2SO4 showed that the effect of Na2SO4 was more significant than that of NaCl.Accordingly,it can be concluded that salinity might be an essential determining factor which inhibited Cyanophyta blooms in saline lakes.Thus,it was suggested that the impacts of salt species and salinity on algae growth should be taken into account when developing eutrophication criteria and standard in northwest region of China.
A 3/5 GHz reconfigurable CMOS low-noise amplifier integrated with a four-terminal phase-change RF switch (2015)

This paper presents the first reported in-situ reconfiguration of a narrowband CMOS low noise amplifier (LNA) over two widely separated frequency bands using a GeTe phase-change (PC) switch. Previous work has demonstrated the attractiveness of CMOS-PC integration to realize high-performance reconfigurable RF front-end circuits [1-2]. Four-terminal PC switches with small form factor have been recently shown to possess close-to-ideal properties of an RF switch: a high OFF/ON resistance ratio and extremely high figure-of-merit for RF switches (FCO = 1/(2πRONCOFF)) [3-4]. In this work, we present a robust realization of a reconfigurable 3/5 GHz LNA designed and fabricated in a 0.13 μm CMOS process and flip-chip integrated with a four-terminal PC switch fabricated using an in-house process.

Towards Selective Volumetric Additive Manufacturing and Processing of Ceramics (2019)

Abstract The development of advanced additive manufacturing (AM) and material processing techniques is currently a topic of great interest to broad communities of scientists and engineers. In particular, there is a need for AM processes capable of producing functional and high-quality components at a faster rate than is currently achievable. In response to this demand, the present work introduces the initial steps of a novel spatially-resolved and selective approach for processing volumetric regions of ceramic materials. The proposed method utilizes microwave radiation to heat material at desired locations within a domain filled with ceramic powder. Using this principle of operation, a number of methods for implementation of this process are proposed. As a first step, a multiphysics computational methodology and an associated model that allows for the analysis and design of relevant processing systems is introduced. Additionally, a number of simulations demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed methodology are presented. Based on these preliminary results, we conclude with a discussion of ongoing and future efforts to fully realize this technology.
