CFD simulation of a heavy oil reservoir with AICV completion (2014)

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to analyze the flow behaviour of oil and water in the porous heavy oil reservoir with an Autonomous Inflow Control Valve (AICV) installed. 2D simulations in ANSYS FLUENT 13.0 for a 50m long heavy oil reservoir section along the well were carried out with four AICVs placed on the main production pipe.
Circulating Spike Protein Detected in Post–COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Myocarditis (2023)

Immunoprofiling of vaccinated adolescents and young adults revealed that the mRNA vaccine-induced immune responses did not differ between individuals who developed myocarditis and individuals who did not. However, free spike antigen was detected in the blood of adolescents and young adults who developed post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, advancing insight into its potential underlying cause.

Stage-1 Cationic C60 Intercalated Graphene Oxide Films (2020)

A “stage-1” intercalated film has been made by the ion exchange of “cationic C60” (pyrrolidinium-functionalised C60, C60(Py)n+) into centimetre-wide, micrometre-thick air-dried graphene oxide (G-O) films composed of tens of thousands of layers of stacked/overlapping G-O platelets, denoted [C60(Py)n+]G-O films. Spontaneous intercalation by ion exchange of one layer of cationic C60 between adjacent G-O layers expands the interlayer spacing of the films from 0.74 nm to 1.46 nm. The films remain intact in water and various organic solvents, which is likely due to a strong affinity between C60(Py)n+ and G-O. Membranes made of the films showed a 6.8 times faster water vapour permeation rate (allowing the vapour to transport through the membrane almost freely) and a 10.5 times faster liquid water permeation rate than G-O membranes. Heating the films at 2000 °C under applied pressure or at 2700 °C without physical confinement converted them into highly graphitised structures.

A Semi-Automated Approach to Real World Motor Vehicle Crash Reconstruction Using a Generic Simplified Vehicle Buck Model (2016)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Computational finite element (FE) modeling of real world motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) is valuable for analyzing crash-induced injury patterns and mechanisms. Due to unavailability of detailed modern FE vehicle models, a simplified vehicle model (SVM) based on laser scans of fourteen modern vehicle interiors was used. A crash reconstruction algorithm was developed to semi-automatically tune the properties of the SVM to a particular vehicle make and model, and subsequently reconstruct a real world MVC using the tuned SVM. The required algorithm inputs are anthropomorphic test device position data, deceleration crash pulses from a specific New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) crash test, and vehicle interior property ranges. A series of automated geometric transformations and five LSDyna positioning simulations were performed to match the FE Hybrid III’s (HIII) position within the SVM to reported data. Once positioned, a baseline simulation using the crash test pulse was created. A Latin hypercube sample space (9 variables) of 120 simulations was created to vary occupant safety and restraint properties. Sprague and Geers magnitude and phase error factors were used to identify an optimal set of restraint parameters to reconstruct the HIII kinematic and kinetic responses. Using the tuned SVM, event data recorder pulses from real world crashes, and the Total HUman Model for Safety, LS-Dyna simulations were used to reconstruct the occupant-vehicle interactions. In a sample case, stress, strain, and dynamic loads were evaluated to predict rib, sternum, and vertebral injuries sustained by the occupant in the crash.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Expression of Human Apolipoprotein E3 or E4 in the Brains ofApoe−/−Mice: Isoform-Specific Effects on Neurodegeneration (1999)

Apolipoprotein (apo) E isoforms are key determinants of susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease. The apoE4 isoform is the major known genetic risk factor for this disease and is also associated with poor outcome after acute head trauma or stroke. To test the hypothesis that apoE3, but not apoE4, protects against age-related and excitotoxin-induced neurodegeneration, we analyzed apoE knockout ( Apoe −/− ) mice expressing similar levels of human apoE3 or apoE4 in the brain under control of the neuron-specific enolase promoter. Neuronal apoE expression was widespread in the brains of these mice. Kainic acid-challenged wild-type or Apoe −/− mice had a significant loss of synaptophysin-positive presynaptic terminals and microtubule-associated protein 2-positive neuronal dendrites in the neocortex and hippocampus, and a disruption of neurofilament-positive axons in the hippocampus. Expression of apoE3, but not of apoE4, protected against this excitotoxin-induced neuronal damage. ApoE3, but not apoE4, also protected against the age-dependent neurodegeneration seen in Apoe −/− mice. These differences in the effects of apoE isoforms on neuronal integrity may relate to the increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and to the poor outcome after head trauma and stroke associated with apoE4 in humans.
Emulsion‐Templated Gold Beads Using Gold Nanoparticles as Building Blocks (2004)

Highly porous gold beads have been synthesized from gold nanoparticle “building blocks” using emulsion‐ templated polymer beads as scaffolds (see Figure and cover for scanning electron microscopy images). The distribution of the nanoparticles throughout the scaffold can be controlled, which in turn allows a variety of complex structures to be produced.
PET/CT: comparison of quantitative tracer uptake between germanium and CT transmission attenuation-corrected images. (2002)

Although quantitative radioactivity values are generally comparable between CT- and germanium-corrected emission PET images, CT-based attenuation correction produced radioactivity concentration values significantly higher than the germanium-based corrected values. These effects, especially in radiodense tissues, should be noted when using and comparing quantitative PET analyses from PET and PET/CT systems.
Hydrothermal oxidation of model molecules and industrial wastes (1998)

Abstract The environmental regulation evolution and the increasing wastewater disposal costs led to a new concept for the complete destruction of toxic substances and sludges. Hydrothermal oxidation of wastes was developed as an alternative technique in order to limit the risks of secondary pollution. After a brief presentation of previous works dealing with hydrothermal oxidation and supercritical water properties, results concerning two model molecules: methanol and glucose are presented. The oxidation kinetics of methanol is modeled and by‐products of glucose characterized. Results concerning industrial wastes such as paper mill sludges, mechanical wastewaters and cutting oils are examined. The influence of various parameters controlling the trans‐formation such as pressure, temperature and residence time are investigated.
Enhancement of two-photon resonant third-harmonic generation of a CO/sub 2/ laser in gaseous CD/sub 4/ (1989)

Third-harmonic conversion of a CO/sub 2/ laser in gaseous CD/sub 4/ with an efficiency enhanced by two orders of magnitude over that previously achieved is reported, and results which demonstrate the effectiveness of confining the nonlinear process in a hollow, dielectric waveguide are given. Power conversion efficiencies of 4.9*10/sup -4/ and 6.8*10/sup -3/ are attained in focused beam and waveguide experiments, respectively.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Synthesis of Ultra Fine Metal-Carbon Composite Particles by Carbon Arc-Plasma and its Catalytic Activity. (1998)

Ultra fine particles of Fe, Ni, Co and Mo with diameter of 5-20 nm were synthesized. The particles were stable under the atmosphere because they were surrounded with graphite sheet and amorphous carbon. Catalytic activities of them for hydrogenation of 1-methyl naphthalene were tested. It was found that ultra-fine particles of Ni-carbon composite had high catalytic activities. The kinetic analysis shows that more active hydrogenation catalysts can be prepared by bi-metallic clusters.
Impact of Genomics on Personalized Cancer Medicine (2012)

Recent advances in tumor genetics and drug development have led to the generation of a wealth of anticancer targeted therapies. A few recent examples indicate that these drugs are mainly, if not exclusively, active against tumors of a particular genotype that can be identified by a diagnostic test, usually by detecting a somatic alteration in the tumor DNA. However, for the majority of targeted therapies in development, there are still no clinical tools to determine which patients are most likely to benefit or, alternatively, be resistant de novo to these novel agents or drug combinations.

This paper presents a single inductor energy harvesting and power management (EHM) unit for ultra-low power (ULP) systems. The proposed circuit harvests energy from solar cells from 0.38V input voltage (Vin) and provides 4 output voltages - storage at 5V and V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DD</inf> s at 3.3V, 1.5V and 1.2V. A peak inductor current control scheme enables high efficiency operation across wide input and output voltage range. The IC supports maximum power point tracking, battery management, and cold starts from 0.38V Vin.
Atmospheric pressure ionization and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry—together at last (1998)

The evolution of atmospheric pressure ionization techniques which are now routinely applied as liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer (LC/MS) interfaces is described. Electrospray and related methods, as well as atmospheric pressure chemical ionization combined with the heated nebulizer interface, both began as specialized ionization techniques which became much more widely accepted when combined with tandem mass spectrometry. Today, both are widely used for quantitative and qualitative LC/MS and LC/MS/MS analyses. Important events in the development of these methods are described, along with key elements in the evolution of the ion source-to-vacuum interface techniques that contributed to their success.
BCG vaccine for clinically isolated syndrome and MS (2013)

Infections may be harmful for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), resulting in fever, “pseudo-exacerbations,” and increased risk of relapses.1 Can infections ever be beneficial for MS? The long-held yet unproven “hygiene hypothesis” proposes that certain infections early in life might reduce the risk of developing autoimmune diseases by inducing protective immunity.2 In addition, parasitic intestinal infections in people with MS may reduce disease activity.3 It follows that better sanitation and common use of disinfectants and antibiotics may account in part for the increased prevalence of MS and other autoimmune diseases in North America and much of Europe, compared with Africa, South America, and parts of Asia. If true, might we harness this natural phenomenon to develop new treatments for MS?
Ray tracing to predict insolation in urban environment (2012)

A Ray Tracing (RT) algorithm has been developed to predict the amount of solar radiation incident on the façades of buildings in urban environments. Such algorithm can be used to estimate the amount of solar energy turned into heat energy which contributes to the Urban Heat Islands (UHI) effect, to evaluate the energy efficiency of solutions like solar captators and, therefore, to estimate the overall energy efficiency of an urban area.
Correlation of the Interactions between Accommodation and Vergence in Different Refraction Groups (2019)

Objective:
To investigate stimulus and response accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) and stimulus and response convergence accommodation to convergence (CA/C ) ratios between different refractive groups and heterophoria groups. The correlations between the four parameters were also investigated.


Methods:
In this case control study, 20 emmetropes (EMM) and 27 early-onset myopes (EOM) aged 9 to 14 years participated in this descriptive study from October 2016 to January 2017 at Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University. The accommodative response and phoria through five accommodative stimuli and 6 convergence stimuli levels were measured at 25 cm under binocular viewing conditions with a Grand Seiko WAM-5500 autorefractor and a modified Thorington card. Data were analyzed using t-tests and Pearson correlation analysis.


Results:
Response AC/A ratios of the EMM and the EOM groups were 4.07±1.47 Δ/D and 5.13±1.95 Δ/D, respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant (t=2.12, P=0.04). A significant linear correlation was found between the stimulus and response AC/A ratios in both the EMM and EOM groups (r=0.903, P<0.001; r=0.880, P<0.001). A negative correlation was found between the response AC/A and CA/C ratios in the EMM group (r=-0.450, P=0.04), while no correlation was found between these two ratios in the EOM group (r=-0.367, P=0.06).


Conclusions:
EOM has a higher response AC/A ratio compared to EMM. The negative correlation between AC/A and CA/C was only found between the response ratios of EMM, indicating that the AC/A ratio cannot provide a true representation of both cross-link interactions.

The Effects of Iodide on the Cellular Functions and Expression of Thyroid Autoantigens in Thyroid Cells (2002)

Background: Iodide has been known to control the function and the growth of the thyroid gland, and to be used as a substrate of thyroid hormone. Moreover, it has been suggested that excessive iodide stimulates the thyroid autoimmune responses. To evaluate the effects of iodide on thyrocytes, we investigated cell function and proliferation, or thyroid autoantigen expression after administering iodide to rats or FRTL-5 cells. Methods and Results: Ten-weeks-old Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed after 7 days of NaI treatment. The expressions of thyroid autoantigens were examined by northern blot analysis. Chronic administration of iodide resulted in no effect on TSH receptor (TSHR) and thyroperoxidase (TPO) mRNA expression, while it increased thyroglobulin (TG) and diminished sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) mRNA expression. FRTL-5 cells were also treated with various concentrations of NaI. The generation of cAMP or iodide uptake was decreased, and the cellular growth was also inhibited by iodide. However, the expressions of all thyroid autoantigens (TSHR, TG, TPO, MHC class I and class II) except NIS were unchanged for 72 hours after iodide administration. The expression of NIS was mildly increased after 24 hours. Conclusion: Iodide resulted in decreased cell proliferation and cellular function of cAMP generation and iodide uptake. Chronic administration of iodide increased TG and diminished NIS mRNA expression in vivo but not in vitro.
Performance Comparison of Hybrid Encryption-based Access Control Schemes in NDN (2021)

The newly emerging technologies and applications primarily focus on content distribution over the Internet, and a current host-centric TCP/IP Internet architecture becomes infeasible to fulfill this demand. Named Data Networking (NDN) is one of the most promising Future Internet architecture that facilitates a content-centric communication model over TCP/IP architecture. NDN supports in-network caching as the main characteristic that provides efficient scalability and minimum latency of content retrieval. Each NDN router possesses a content store table to cache the contents and directly serve the same requests in the future. Content can be cached anywhere in the NDN network, and content security and confidentiality become vital to prevent content access by unauthorized consumers. A hybrid encryption-based access control scheme has been proposed to address content confidentiality concerns by applying symmetric and identity-based proxy re-encryption schemes in NDN. However, it still requires further implementation and evaluation analyses with related schemes to prove that it offers a lower computational overhead and faster content retrieval time while protecting content confidentiality in NDN architecture. This paper conducts an additional experimental study on the scheme and shows some evidence about the reduction of the computational and communication time.

Asymmetric Nucleophilic Catalysis with an Octahedral Chiral-at-Metal Iridium(III) Complex (2017)

Herein, we report about the design, synthesis, and application of a nucleophilic octahedral chiral-only-at-metal iridium(III) complex. We demonstrate that the enantiopure form of this complex serves as an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric Steglich rearrangement of O-acylated azlactones (up to 96% ee and 99% yield) and the related asymmetric Black rearrangement of O-acylated benzofuranones (up to 94% ee and 99% yield). We provide insight into the mechanisms of these two acyl migration reactions and the catalyst’s manner of chiral recognition with crystal structures of the active catalyst and a catalysis intermediate analog, as well as with quantum chemical calculations based on them. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the presented catalyst also efficiently catalyzes the asymmetric reaction between aryl alkyl ketenes and 2-cyanopyrrole to give the corresponding α-chiral N-acyl pyrroles (up to 95% ee and 99% yield).
Rat Glioma Cell-Based Functional Characterization of Anti-Stress and Protein Deaggregation Activities in the Marine Carotenoids, Astaxanthin and Fucoxanthin (2019)

Stress, protein aggregation, and loss of functional properties of cells have been shown to contribute to several deleterious pathologies including cancer and neurodegeneration. The incidence of these pathologies has also been shown to increase with age and are often presented as evidence to the cumulative effect of stress and protein aggregation. Prevention or delay of onset of these diseases may prove to be unprecedentedly beneficial. In this study, we explored the anti-stress and differentiation-inducing potential of two marine bioactive carotenoids (astaxanthin and fucoxanthin) using rat glioma cells as a model. We found that the low (nontoxic) doses of both protected cells against UV-induced DNA damage, heavy metal, and heat-induced protein misfolding and aggregation of proteins. Their long-term treatment in glioma cells caused the induction of physiological differentiation into astrocytes. These phenotypes were supported by upregulation of proteins that regulate cell proliferation, DNA damage repair mechanism, and glial differentiation, suggesting their potential for prevention and treatment of stress, protein aggregation, and age-related pathologies.
Surface X-ray diffraction studies of CaF2(110)/Si(001) interface formation (2008)

Poster Sessions at the Fe/MgO(100) interface do not detect any oxygen diffusion in the Fe film showing a sharp interface with the Fe crystallographic cell tetragonally distorted to match the MgO crystal lattice. These results will be discussed in relation to the magnetic properties of the systems.
Solar: An Open Platform for Context-Aware Mobile Applications (2005)

Emerging pervasive computing technologies transform the way we live and work by embedding computation in our surrounding environment. To avoid increasing complexity, and allow the user to concentrate on her tasks, applications in a pervasive computing environment must automatically adapt to their changing context, including the user state and the physical and computational environment in which they run. Solar is a middleware platform to help these “context-aware” applications aggregate desired context from heterogeneous sources and to locate environmental services depending on the current context. By moving most of the context computation into the infrastructure, Solar allows applications to run on thin mobile clients more effectively. By providing an open framework to enable dynamic injection of context processing modules, Solar shares these modules across many applications, reducing application development cost and network traffic. By distributing these modules across network nodes and reconfiguring the distribution at runtime, Solar achieves parallelism and online load balancing.
