Switching to unboosted atazanavir reduces bilirubin and triglycerides without compromising treatment efficacy in UGT1A1*28 polymorphism carriers (2012)

UGT1A1*28 is significantly related to hyperbilirubinaemia in HIV-1 patients receiving atazanavir. Genotyping before the initiation of antiretroviral therapy can reduce the emergence of severe hyperbilirubinaemia. Unboosted atazanavir-containing therapy is safe and efficacious in patients with an undetectable viral load with a UGT1A1*28 polymorphism, allowing the use of atazanavir in patients otherwise likely unable to receive it.
Nonconvex Optimization for Diffractive Imaging (2018)

Image reconstruction under multiple scattering of light is often formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem. We describe a new optimization method for image reconstruction under multiple scattering based on a new convergent variant of the popular fast iterative shrinkage/thresholding algorithm (FISTA). The proposed method is suitable for sparsity-driven diffraction tomography where multiple scattering cannot be neglected.
Totally Organic-based Bendable Rechargeable Devices Composed of Hydrophilic Redox Polymers and Aqueous Electrolyte (2017)

Totally organic polymer-based, submillimeter-thick, bendable rechargeable devices were fabricated using hydrophilic polymers as electrode-active materials and brine as the electrolyte. The rapid and reversible electrochemical reactions of the polymers enabled quick charging within minutes, long life, and a moderate operation voltage of more than 1 V. Quantitative discharge was achieved even when the devices were in a bent state with a radius of curvature of 1 mm.
Telomerase activity in preneoplastic and neoplastic gastric and colorectal lesions. (1995)

Recent evidence indicates that telomerase activity may be necessary for cell immortality, which is required for the sustained and indefinite growth of most malignant cells. We analyzed telomerase activity in gastric and colorectal cancers and in gastric and colorectal precancerous lesions to determine whether malignant progression depends on the activation of telomerase and at what stage of carcinogenesis cells have detectable telomerase activity. Telomerase activity was measured by the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay and was detected in 17 (85%) of 20 primary gastric carcinoma tissues and in 19 (95%) of 20 primary colorectal carcinomas, regardless of tumor staging and histological types. All nodal metastases, peritoneal metastases, and a recurrent gastric cancer tumor were positive. All cell lines established from gastric and colorectal cancers contained telomerase activity. In precancerous lesions, 10 (100%) of 10 colorectal tubular adenomas were telomerase positive, in addition to 3 (23%) of 13 gastric intestinal metaplasias and 1 (50%) of 2 gastric adenomas, whereas the corresponding gastric normal mucosas as well as colorectal mucosas were negative. These results indicate overall that reactivation of telomerase may occur at an early stage of carcinogenesis and may correlate well with malignant progression of gastric cancer. Telomerase activity thus may serve as a powerful additional tool for cancer diagnosis.
Selective measurement of the time dependence of the transient Overhauser effect in NMR spectra; application to oligonucleotides (1994)

A method was developed for measuring the rise and fall curves corresponding to selected peaks in NOESY spectrum. When applied to a std. two-dimensional NOESY spectrum, this technique gives result the resoln. of which is similar to that of the three-dimensional method. The proposed pulse sequence was demonstrated on spectra of some oligonucleotides. [on SciFinder (R)]
Measurement of Decompression Wave Speed in Rich Gas Mixtures at High Pressures (370 bars) Using a Specialized Rupture Tube (2010)

Measurements of decompression wave speed in conventional and rich natural gas mixtures following rupture of a high-pressure pipe have been conducted. A high-pressure stainless steel rupture tube (internal diameter=38.1 mm and 42 m long) has been constructed and instrumented with 16 high frequency-response pressure transducers mounted very close to the rupture end and along the length of the tube to capture the pressure-time traces of the decompression wave. Tests were conducted for initial pressures of 33–37 MPa-a and a temperature range of 21–68°C. The experimentally determined decompression wave speeds were compared with both GASDECOM and PIPEDECOM predictions with and without nonequilibrium condensation delays at phase crossing. The interception points of the isentropes representing the decompression process with the corresponding phase envelope of each mixture were correlated with the respective plateaus observed in the decompression wave speed profiles. Additionally, speeds of sound in the undisturbed gas mixtures at the initial pressures and temperatures were compared with predictions by five equations of state, namely, BWRS, AGA-8, Peng–Robinson, Soave–Redlich–Kwong, and Groupe Européen de Recherches Gaziéres. The measured gas decompression curves were used to predict the fracture arrest toughness needed to assure fracture control in natural gas pipelines. The rupture tube test results have shown that the Charpy fracture arrest values predicted using GASEDCOM are within +7% (conservative) and −11% (nonconservative) of the rupture tube predicted values. Similarly, PIPEDECOM with no temperature delay provides fracture arrest values that are within +13% and −20% of the rupture tube predicted values, while PIPEDECOM with a 1°C temperature delay provides fracture arrest values that are within 0% and −20% of the rupture tube predicted values. Ideally, it would be better if the predicted values by the equations of state were above the rupture tube predicted values to make the predictions conservative but that was not always the case.
Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in oscillatory shear and parameterization with regard to MR device properties (2009)

A mechanical analogue, consisting of a Bingham element (friction element and amper arranged in parallel) and elastic spring in series, is used to capture the measured amplitude dependences of the storage and loss moduli of an MRF in oscillatory shear. Model predictions for the time-dependent shear stress and resulting moduli at agitation frequency for various amplitudes are discussed. The application to plate-plate geometry, imposing a linear radial shear strain profile, is addressed.
A snubber cell for single-stage PFC with a boost type input current shaper and isolated dc/dc converter (2011)

This paper proposes a lossless snubber cell for all single-stage PFC with a boost type input current shaper and an isolated dc/dc converter. The single auxiliary switch of the snubber cell shares the same switching signal as the PFC main switch; both switches operate under soft switching way. Various stages of the switching cycle have been comprehensively analyzed to explain the operation principle of the soft switching transition. This soft switching technique reduces switching power loss and improves efficiency. The simulation results verify the practicable of the new snubber cell. 100W prototypes are built on the bi-flyback PFC converter and the BIFRED PFC converter; experimental waveforms match with simulation results.
MyD88 adapter-like (Mal) is phosphorylated by Bruton's tyrosine kinase during TLR2 and TLR4 signal transduction. (2016)

VOLUME 281 (2006) PAGES 10489–10495 PAGE 10492: There was an error in Fig. 2B. In the original data provided by the authors to the journal, lanes 1–6 of Fig. 2B were electrophoresed on a different gel from lanes 7 and 8. During figure assembly, the authors erroneously reused lane 4 to represent lane 7. The authors have repeated the experiment, and the results are shown. This error does not affect the results or conclusions of the work.
Data from Pyruvate Kinase M1 Suppresses Development and Progression of Prostate Adenocarcinoma (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;Altered metabolism helps sustain cancer cell proliferation and survival. Most cancers, including prostate cancers, express the M2 splice isoform of pyruvate kinase (PKM2), which can support anabolic metabolism to support cell proliferation. However, &lt;i&gt;Pkm2&lt;/i&gt; expression is dispensable for the formation and growth of many cancers &lt;i&gt;in vivo&lt;/i&gt;. Expression of pyruvate kinase isoform M1 (&lt;i&gt;Pkm1&lt;/i&gt;) is restricted to relatively few tissues and has been reported to promote growth of select tumors, but the role of PKM1 in cancer has been less studied than PKM2. To test how differential expression of pyruvate kinase isoforms affects cancer initiation and progression, we generated mice harboring a conditional allele of &lt;i&gt;Pkm1&lt;/i&gt; and crossed these mice, or those with a &lt;i&gt;Pkm2&lt;/i&gt; conditional allele, with a &lt;i&gt;Pten&lt;/i&gt; loss-driven prostate cancer model. &lt;i&gt;Pkm1&lt;/i&gt; loss led to increased PKM2 expression and accelerated prostate cancer development, whereas &lt;i&gt;Pkm2&lt;/i&gt; deletion led to increased PKM1 expression and suppressed tumor progression. Metabolic profiling revealed altered nucleotide levels in tumors with high PKM1 expression, and failure of these tumors to progress was associated with DNA replication stress and senescence. Consistent with these data, a small molecule pyruvate kinase activator that mimics a high activity PKM1-like state suppressed progression of established prostate tumors. Analysis of human specimens showed PKM2 expression is retained in most human prostate cancers. Overall, this study uncovers a role for pyruvate kinase isoforms in prostate cancer initiation and progression, and argues that pharmacologic pyruvate kinase activation may be beneficial for treating prostate cancer.&lt;/p&gt;Significance:&lt;p&gt;Differential expression of PKM1 and PKM2 impacts prostate tumorigenesis and suggests a potential therapeutic vulnerability in prostate cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Modulation of TRPV1 by nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, c-Src kinase (2004)

The capsaicin receptor TRPV1 is a nonselective cation channel that is expressed in sensory neurons. In this study, we examined the role of the nonreceptor cellular tyrosine kinase c-Src kinase in the modulation of the rat TRPV1. Capsaicin-induced currents in identified colonic dorsal root ganglion neurons were blocked by the c-Src kinase inhibitor PP2 and enhanced by the tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor sodium orthovandate. PP2 also abolished currents in human embryonic kidney-293 cells transfected with rat TRPV1, whereas cotransfection of TRPV1 with v-Src resulted in fivefold increase in capsaicin-induced currents. In cells transfected with dominant-negative c-Src and TRPV1, capsaicin-induced currents were decreased by approximately fourfold. TRPV1 co-immunoprecipitated with Src kinase and was tyrosine phosphorylated. These studies demonstrate that TRPV1 is a potential target for cellular tyrosine kinase-dependent phosphorylation.
30 GHz self-assembled highly-efficient on-chip monopole antennas (2008)

A novel monopole antenna made from an out-of-plane stressed cantilever beam is presented. The radiating element is isolated from a low-resistivity silicon substrate with a ground plane and thus high radiation efficiency of more than ∼50% can be achieved even with a CMOS-grade silicon substrate. The proposed antennas can be readily fabricated by a conventional IC fabrication process, which enables a high level of integration and low cost. Our experimental results of the monopole operating at 30 GHz agree well with our theoretical predictions.
A thermodynamic model for homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion with recompression valve events and direct injection: Part I — Adiabatic core ignition model (2016)

This two-part article presents a model for boosted and moderately stratified homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion for use in thermodynamic engine cycle simulations. The model consists of two components: one an ignition model for the prediction of auto-ignition onset and the other an empirical combustion rate model. This article focuses on the development and validation of the homogeneous charge compression ignition model for use under a broad range of operating conditions. Using computational fluid dynamics simulations of the negative valve overlap valve events typical of homogeneous charge compression ignition operation, it is shown that there is no noticeable reaction progress from low-temperature heat release, and that ignition is within the high-temperature regime ( T &gt; 1000 K), starting within the highest temperature cells of the computational fluid dynamics domain. Additional parametric sweeps from the computational fluid dynamics simulations, including sweeps of speed, load, intake manifold pressures and temperature, dilution level and valve and direct injection timings, showed that the assumption of a homogeneous charge (equivalence ratio and residuals) is appropriate for ignition modelling under the conditions studied, considering the strong sensitivity of ignition timing to temperature and its weak compositional dependence. Use of the adiabatic core temperature predicted from the adiabatic core model resulted in temperatures within ±1% of the peak temperatures of the computational fluid dynamics domain near the time of ignition. Thus, the adiabatic core temperature can be used within an auto-ignition integral as a simple and effective method for estimating the onset of homogeneous charge compression ignition auto-ignition. The ignition model is then validated with an experimental 92.6 anti-knock index gasoline-fuelled homogeneous charge compression ignition dataset consisting of 290 data points covering a wide range of operating conditions. The tuned ignition model predictions of [Formula: see text] have a root mean square error of 1.7° crank angle and R 2 = 0.63 compared to the experiments.
Local Optical Spectra and Texture for Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystals in Cells with Interdigitated Electrodes (2014)

A microspectrophotometer was used to measure reflection spectra of cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) in cells with interdigitated electrodes as a function of applied voltage in order to probe the spatial variation in behavior in the electrode and gap regions. Complex changes in the optical spectra are observed in the gap regions for cells in which the electric field magnitude changes significantly through the thickness of the cell. This leads to a non-uniform helix unwinding and pitch gradient in the cell. In cells with smaller field gradients, the unwinding occurs in a uniform manner and it is possible, under certain conditions, to distinguish discrete changes in pitch, corresponding to a decrease in the number of half-turns of the helical structure in the cell.

Nonlinear estimation of spectral reflectance based on Gaussian mixture distribution for color image reproduction (2002)

Nonlinear estimation method of spectral reflectance from camera responses is proposed. The proposed method minimizes the mean square error of spectral reflectance when the reflectance can be regarded as a random sequence of Gaussian mixture distribution. In computer simulations, 168 samples of spectral reflectance from a color chart are estimated from their image signals obtained by three- and six-band cameras. It is confirmed that the proposed method improves the accuracy in comparison with the conventional Wiener estimation method.
High‐Gain Microfluidic Amplifiers: The Bridge between Microfluidic Controllers and Fluidic Soft Actuators (2022)

Soft fluidic robots are typically controlled using manifolds containing large and rigid electromechanical valves. These bulky controllers limit scalability and hinder motion, in particular for untethered soft robots. There has been recent interest in using fluidic controllers analogous to electrical logic gates and microcontrollers to replace rigid valve systems. However, these microfluidic networks typically operate with small volumes, low flow rates, and low pressures relative to what is needed to power fluidic soft actuators. This article presents the design, fabrication, and analysis of a soft, fluidic amplifier as the “missing link” between microfluidic analogies of microcontrollers and the high fluidic power loads representative of soft actuators. The article demonstrates amplification gains of pressure signals up to a factor of four. The amplifier is a step toward fully autonomous soft robots by allowing designers to develop control strategies from soft materials with minimal additional rigid components or tethering.
Coherent collocated MIMO radar: A study on real data (2013)

MIMO radar is a promising concept as demonstrated by many studies, but has been rarely performed with real signals, while hardware defaults may have a significant impact on performance. At ONERA, we have had the opportunity to make experiments in real conditions on a MIMO-capable radar testbed, making it possible to estimate performances of MIMO waveforms and to exhibit the influence of hardware defaults. In this paper, we first present the multifunction radar testbed and the experimental campaigns we have led. Then, we expose significant results and we introduce figures of merit which allow us to show the resemblance to the theory and the performance of each waveform.

Fabrication of the Flexible Sensor Using SOI Wafer by Removing the Thick Silicon Layer (2006)

In this paper, we propose a method to fabricate a flexible sensor, which uses thin single crystal silicon devices for sensing. In this method, we formed sensing devices on the top of an SOI wafer and removed a thick silicon layer from it to make the sensor flexible. To protect the thin silicon structure during the process, we covered it with an elastic material. By using this method and the sensing mechanism we proposed in MEMS’ 05 [ 1], we fabricated a 2.0mm thick flexible tactile sensor with 290 nm thick piezoresistive cantilevers. We measured shear stresses by using this flexible sensor and confirmed its effectiveness.
