The good, the bad and the ugly: how altered peptide ligands modulate immunity (2008)

Altered peptide ligands have been used as immunotherapeutics in autoimmune (and allergic) diseases, infectious diseases and cancer. In the next five years we anticipate seeing a number of altered peptide ligands in clinical trials, progressing from contradictory classifications of good, bad or ugly, to the exciting outcome of 'useful'.

Texture Formation Behaviour during High-Temperature Plane Strain Compression Deformation in AZ91 Magnesium Alloy (2018)

In previous study, it was investigated texture formation behaviour of high-temperature plane strain compression test at 723K, under a strain rate of 5.0. It was found that the main texture component and it was sharpness vary depending on deformation conditions. To clarify the characteristic of texture formation behaviour, it is necessary to investigate at various deformation condition. Therefore, in this study, is investigating the influence or texture formation behaviour and strain, strain rate at 673K. Three kinds of specimens with different initial textures were machined out from a rolled plate having a &lt;0001&gt; texture. The plane strain compression tests were conducted at a temperature 673K, and a strain rate of 5.0, with strain between-0.4 to-1.0. After compression tests, the specimens were immediately quenched in oil. The texture evolution was conducted by the Schulz reflection method using Cu Kα radiation and EBSD. Before the deformation, {0001} of specimen A was accumulated in the center of pole figure. The {0001} of specimen B was accumulated at the RD direction. The {0001} of specimen C was accumulated TD direction. As a result, work softening is observed in all the cases at the true stress – true strain curve for three types of specimens. After deformation, the maximum pole density of increases with increasing strain. In this study, it was found that the stable orientation was (0001)&lt;100&gt; and (0001)&lt;110&gt; during deformation.
Broadcast channels with cooperating receivers: a downlink for the sensor reachback problem (2004)

This paper describes the problem of communicating over broadcast channels (BCs) with partially cooperating receivers. In our setup receivers are able to exchange messages over conference links, prior to making their decisions. This problem comes up naturally in a sensor networking application, where a transmitter external to the sensor network wants to download data into the network to, e.g., configure the sensor array. We find the capacity region for the case where the BC is degraded. This region is a strict enlargement of the classical region for the degraded BC without cooperation in [T.M. Cover,(1998)].
Cytokinins in photoperiodic induction of flowering in Chenopodium species (1993)

Changes in cytokinin (zeatin – Z, zeatin riboside – ZR, isopentenyladenine – iP, isopentenyladenosine – iPA) levels were determined under light regimes inductive and non‐inductive for flowering in leaves, stems, roots and apical parts of short‐day Chenopodium rubrum and long‐day Chenopodium murale. In leaves. stems and roots of both plant species the level of cytokinins (in C. rubrum of Z and ZR, in C. murale of Z. ZR, iP and iPA) decreased by about 50% during the dark period and increased again during the subsequent light period, No significant changes in cytokinin levels were observed in continuous light. In apical parts of C. rubrum cytokinin level (Z, ZR, iP) was dramatically increased (by 400–500%) at the end of the dark period and decreased to about the original value during the following light period, while no changes were observed in continuous light. In apical parts of C. murale the level of cytokinins doubled during floral induction consisting of 10 days of continuous light. A red (R) break (15 min at the 6th h of darkness), which prevents flowering in C. rubrum , has no significant effect on cytokinin levels in leaves at the end of darkness. Cytokinin levels increased 1 h after R and decreased again rapidly. On the other hand, the increase of cytokinin level in the apical parts of C. rubrum was largely prevented by the R break. These effects of R on cytokinin levels were not reverted by far‐red (FR), while the effect on flowering was reverted. It may be concluded that there is no correlation between changes in cytokinin levels in leaves. Stems and roots and photoperiodic flower induction, as both species, representing different photoperiodic types, showed similar changes under the same light regime. The increase of cytokinin levels in apical parts of both photoperiodic species during floral induction suggests a role (increased cell division and branching) for cytokinins in apex evocation.
Abstract 500: Reactive Oxygen Species and Insufficiency of Nitric Oxide Mediate Enhanced Microvascular Contractility and Impaired Endothelium Dependent Relaxation in Mice With Renal Failure (2013)

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common and major cause of death and disability in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Since CVD starts with endothelial dysfunction, we tested the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) and insufficient nitric oxide (NO) contributed to microvascular contractility and endothelial dysfunction in C57BL/6 mice with normotensive reduced renal mass (RRM) 5/6 nephrectomy, a model of progressive CKD. Methods and Results: Mesenteric arterioles (MAs) were isolated from mice 3 months after sham-operation (Sham) or RRM (n=6/group) and were mounted on Mulvany-Halperin wire myograph, preconstricted with norepinephrine and relaxed with acetylcholine (ACh) for: endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR); endothelium-dependent relaxation factor (EDRF; NOS-dependent relaxation); endothelium-dependent hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF; K + -channel dependent relaxation) and endothelium-independent relaxation (EIR; sodium nitroprusside). Contractions were tested to endothelium-dependent contracting factor (EDCF; ACh-induced contraction with blocked relaxation pathways); phenylephrine (PE); U-46,619 (thromboxane-prostanoid receptor agonist) and endothelin-1 (ET-1). NO activity (DAF-FM fluorescence) and ROS generation (tempo-9-AC fluorescence) were measured by fluorescence microscopy. Data are mean ±SEM. The MAs from RRM mice had diminished EDR (54 ±5 vs. 77±3%; P&lt;0.01) and EDRF (13±5 vs. 27±4%; P&lt;0.01) with reduced NO activity (0.18 ± 0.05 vs. 0.36± 0.04 ΔUnits; P&lt;0.05), but unchanged EDHF (30±4 vs. 38±4%; NS). These vessels from RRM mice developed an EDCF (14±1 vs. 8±1%; P&lt;0.05) and ACh-induced increased in ROS (0.17±0.03 vs. 0.06±0.02 ΔUnits; P&lt;0.05). Contractile responses were enhanced to U-46,619 (107±4 vs. 87±6, P&lt;0.05) and ET-1 (108±7 vs. 89±4, P&lt;0.05), but not to PE (87±6 vs. 77±8%, NS). Conclusion: mice with RRM developed defective microvascular EDR, EDRF with reduced NO activity and enhanced new ACh-induced EDCF, contractilities to thromboxane and endothelin with increased ROS generation. These microvascular disturbances may contribute to the later development of thrombosis, vascular remodeling and dysfunction in patients with CKD. *D. Wang and C.Wang: Equal contribution
JackIn Head: Immersive Visual Telepresence System with Omnidirectional Wearable Camera (2016)

Sharing one's own immersive experience over the Internet is one of the ultimate goals of telepresence technology. In this paper, we present JackIn Head, a visual telepresence system featuring an omnidirectional wearable camera with image motion stabilization. Spherical omnidirectional video footage taken around the head of a local user is stabilized and then broadcast to others, allowing remote users to explore the immersive visual environment independently of the local user's head direction. We describe the system design of JackIn Head and report the evaluation results of real-time image stabilization and alleviation of cybersickness. Then, through an exploratory observation study, we investigate how individuals can remotely interact, communicate with, and assist each other with our system. We report our observation and analysis of inter-personal communication, demonstrating the effectiveness of our system in augmenting remote collaboration.
MEMS-LSI Integrated Microchip using Pseudo-SoC Technology (2010)

The authors have developed pseudo-SoC technology to realize MEMS-LSI integrated micro-chip. The pseudo-SoC technology consists of three technologies which are wafer reconfiguration technology, inter-chip redistribution layer technology, and pseudo-SoC thinning technology. In the wafer reconfiguration technology, the filling of resin and surface step between heterogeneous chips were improved through the optimization of vacuum printing process and resin material. These improvements reduced the warpage of reconfiguration wafer, leading to achievement of the reconfiguration wafer with 5 inch in diameter. In the inter-chip redistribution layer technology, the interface adherence between planar layer and inter-chip redistribution layer was improved, leading to the inter-chip redistribution layer with 1μm/1μm in line/space on reconfiguration wafer. In the pseudo-SoC thinning technology, thin pseudo-SoC device with 100μm in thickness was achieved through developing mechanical backside grinding process technology. Furthermore, ultra-thin pseudo-SoC which integrated electrostatic MEMS light valve and PWM driver IC was prototyped through developing the ultra-thin MEMS encapsulation technology.

Plasma Surface Modification of Glass-Fibre-Reinforced Polyester Enhanced by Ultrasonic Irradiation (2010)

During atmospheric pressure plasma treatment, reactive species generated in the plasma diffuse through a boundary gas layer which is adsorbed at the material surface. Many of the reactive species become inactivated before reaching the surface due to their short lifetime. The efficiency of plasma treatment can be highly enhanced by simultaneous high-power ultrasonic irradiation of the treating surface, because the delivered acoustic energy can reduce the thickness of the boundary gas layer. Here surfaces of glass-fibre-reinforced polyester (GFRP) plates were treated using an atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge in helium with ultrasonic irradiation, particularly for the adhesion improvement. The ultrasound was irradiated through a powered mesh electrode using a high-power gas-jet ultrasonic generator. The discharge mode changed from glow to filamentary by the ultrasonic irradiation. The surface characterizations were performed using contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force mictroscopy (AFM). O/C ratios at the GFRP surfaces before the treatments, after 30-s plasma treatment, and after 30-s plasma treatment with ultrasonic irradiation were 0.295, 0.385 and 0.447, respectively. This indicated that the plasma treatment oxidized and roughened the GFRP surface, and the ultrasonic irradiation further enhanced the oxidation. It is concluded that plasma treatment efficiency for adhesion improvement of GFRPs is enhanced by the ultrasonic irradiation.

Direct Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection of Campylobacter spp. in Poultry Hatchery Samples (2002)

A rapid, sensitive, and specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed for the direct detection of Campylobacter in environmental samples from hatcheries. PCR, with a set of primers specific for the Campylobacter flaA short variable region (SVR), detected the presence of Campylobacter in both fluff and eggshell samples; however, a determination of whether the organism was living or dead could not be made. Conventional cultural methods detected no Campylobacter from the same samples. An additional benefit of the direct PCR assay is it allows for the production of a product that can be sequenced to provide further epidemiologic information.
Isolation of permanent clonal bone marrow stromal cell lines derived from “viable moth‐eaten” and “severe combined immunodeficiency” mutant mice (1992)

Long-term bone marrow cultures (LTBMCs) were established from bone marrow of mev/mev mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) and their normal littermates, and permanent stromal cell lines were derived. In cultures from mutant mev/mev mice, an adherent layer containing around 10% of fibro-endothelial cells and 90% macrophage-like cells was observed. A permanent cell line actively inhibited hematopoiesis resulting in an 80-fold decrease in production of cumulative colony-forming unit culture units (CFU) including granulocyte, erythroid, macrophage, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) and granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM). To confirm active inhibition, we performed coculture experiments using permanent cell lines and engrafted each in vitro with hematopoietic progenitors from normal mouse LTBMCs. "Cobblestone island" and nonadherent cell production were observed adding hemopoietic progenitors to coculture of fibroblastic cells of mev/mev cultures with lines from normal littermates. In contrast, macrophage cell line Mev #5 suppressed hemopoiesis and itself had a proliferative advantage. Thus, bone marrow stromal cell lines from mev/mev mice reproduce some characteristics of the hematopoietic microenvironmental defect in vitro.
[Geriatric medicine]. (2018)

2017 highlights benefits of prevention. Better control of cardiovascular risk reduces the incidence of dementia and monthly high-dose vitamin D the incidence of respiratory infections in nursing home. Pre-operative geriatric assessment lowers by 20% the rate of delirium after hip-fracture surgery and complications in vascular surgery. Deleterious effects are also reported. High-dose vitamin D triples the rate of falls in supplemented residents and doesn't improve gait speed in sedentary men. Widely used in cardiovascular prevention, antithrombotic therapy is associated with an astonishing risk of subdural bleeding that further increases with the number of drugs combined together. Finally, the non-pharmacological management of behavioral and psychotic symptoms in advanced dementia, although effective, doesn't reduce the associated burden for proxies.
Low levels of strigolactones in roots as a component of the systemic signal of drought stress in tomato (2016)

Strigolactones (SL) contribute to drought acclimatization in shoots, because SL-depleted plants are hypersensitive to drought due to stomatal hyposensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA). However, under drought, SL biosynthesis is repressed in roots, suggesting organ specificity in their metabolism and role. Because SL can be transported acropetally, such a drop may also affect shoots, as a systemic indication of stress. We investigated this hypothesis by analysing molecularly and physiologically wild-type (WT) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) scions grafted onto SL-depleted rootstocks, compared with self-grafted WT and SL-depleted genotypes, during a drought time-course. Shoots receiving few SL from the roots behaved as if under mild stress even if irrigated. Their stomata were hypersensitive to ABA (likely via a localized enhancement of SL synthesis in shoots). Exogenous SL also enhanced stomata sensitivity to ABA. As the partial shift of SL synthesis from roots to shoots mimics what happens under drought, a reduction of root-produced SL might represent a systemic signal unlinked from shootward ABA translocation, and sufficient to prime the plant for better stress avoidance.
Enhancement of emitting power density with a beam-shaping technique for a high-power laser-diode array stack (2004)

We present a beam-shaping technique to enhance emitting power density for a high-power laser-diode array stack. By use of a stripe mirror and a high-reflection mirror, the laser source height of 42 mm is folded to 21 mm and the emitting power density is increased to 365 W/cm2 from a raw emitting power density of 194 W/cm2. Moreover, the beam parameter product (BPP) that is used to evaluate the beam quality is effectively improved to 168-mm mrad from a raw BPP of 336-mm mrad in the fast axis for the collimated high-power laser-diode array stack.

Polymer Nanocomposites: Introduction (2001)

INTRODUCTION Reinforcement of polymers with a second organic or inorganic phase to produce a polymer composite is common in the production of modern plastics. Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) represent a radical alternative to these conventional polymer composites [1-5]. The most noteworthy effort in the last 15 years has demonstrated a doubling of the tensile modulus and strength without sacrificing impact resistance for nylon-layer silicate nanocomposites containing as little as 2 vol. % inorganic layered silicate. In addition, the heat distortion temperature of the nanocomposites increases by up to 100 °C, extending the use of the composite to higher temperature environments, such as for under-the-hood parts in automobiles. Besides their improved properties, these nanocomposites materials are also easily extruded or molded to near-final shape, simplifying their manufacturing. Since high degrees of stiffness and strength are realized with far less high-density inorganic material, they are much lighter compared to conventional polymer composites. This

Targeted Access to the Genomes of Low-Abundance Organisms in Complex Microbial Communities (2007)

Current metagenomic approaches to the study of complex microbial consortia provide a glimpse into the community metabolism and occasionally allow genomic assemblies for the most abundant organisms. However, little information is gained for the members of the community present at low frequencies, especially those representing yet-uncultured taxa, which include the bulk of the diversity present in most environments. Here we used phylogenetically directed cell separation by fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry, followed by amplification and sequencing of a fraction of the genomic DNA of several bacterial cells that belong to the TM7 phylum. Partial genomic assembly allowed, for the first time, a look into the evolution and potential metabolism of a soil representative from this group of organisms for which there are no species in stable laboratory cultures. Genomic reconstruction from targeted cells of uncultured organisms isolated directly from the environment represents a powerful approach to access any specific members of a community and an alternative way to assess the community's metabolic potential.
