Subparaneurial ganglion cysts of the fibular and tibial nerves: A new variant of intraneural ganglion cysts (2015)

Over the last decade, the mechanism of formation of intraneural ganglion cysts has been established through a meticulous review of clinical findings and correlation with patterns produced on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pathognomonic imaging patterns distinguish these rare lesions from the more common extraneural variants in almost all cases. In this report, we present a new pattern of cyst occurrence in the subparaneurial compartment of the nerve and provide potential anatomic explanations for its pathogenesis. Using an anatomic framework of connective tissue compartments of the nerve, we reviewed 63 (56 fibular and seven tibial) intraneural ganglion cysts in the knee region evaluated at our institution and all reports with MRI in the world's literature for evidence of cyst occurrence in the subparaneurial compartment. We identified six cases (five in the common fibular nerve and one in the tibial nerve) at our institution that had MR evidence of cyst in the subparaneurial compartment with a new complex lobulated pattern. All cases had articular branch connections to the superior tibiofibular joint, which at operation were resected along with the joints. Follow-up revealed complete recovery in all instances and no clinical or radiological signs of recurrence. Three cases out of 80 in the literature exhibited the new complex lobulated MRI pattern. We present a new pattern of intraneural ganglion cyst occurrence in a potential space that surrounds peripheral nerves--the subparaneurial compartment. We believe that the unifying articular theory applies to the pathogenesis and management of these rare variants.
Functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with β-lactoglobulin (2008)

β-Lactoglobulin (β-LG) can be successfully immobilized on the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to form nanohybrid via nonconvalent bonding with 1-pyrenebutuanoic acid succinimidyl ester (PSE) as connector. PSE was first attached to the MWNTs by the π-π stacking interaction. Then, β-LG was immobilized on the MWNTs in an aqueous solution by a reaction between amine group of β-LG and N-hydroxysuccinimide of the PSE. The resultant functionalized MWNTs were characterized by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, confocal microscopy and scanned electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that the functionalized MWNTs were quite soluble in aqueous medium. The effects of conjugation of carbon nanotubes to protein backbones on the rheological properties of protein-carbon nanotube hybrids were also determined using a dynamic rheometer. The core-shell structure of nanohybrid can be observed from SEM images.

Impulsively Excited Surface Phononic Crystals: A Route Toward Novel Sensing Schemes (2015)

The application of all-optical time resolved techniques to nanostructured surface phononic crystals (SPCs) enables the generation and detection of hypersonic frequency surface acoustic waves up to 50 GHz, with great potential for innovations in nanometrology and sensing applications. In this paper, we review the advances in this field in both experiments and theory, focusing on the progress in nondestructive nanometrology of ultrathin films, on the potential for a dramatic increase in the sensitivity of mass sensors due to enhanced acoustic wave surface confinement, and on the evolution of this approach to include polymer-coated SPCs for soft material and gas sensing applications. A survey of the enabling innovative optical technologies involved is presented.
Active Terminal Identification, Channel Estimation, and Signal Detection for Grant-Free NOMA-OTFS in LEO Satellite Internet-of-Things (2022)

This paper investigates the massive connectivity of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) for seamless global coverage. We propose to integrate the grant-free non-orthogonal multiple access (GF-NOMA) paradigm with the emerging orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation to accommodate the massive IoT access, and mitigate the long round-trip latency and severe Doppler effect of terrestrial–satellite links (TSLs). On this basis, we put forward a two-stage successive active terminal identification (ATI) and channel estimation (CE) scheme as well as a low-complexity multi-user signal detection (SD) method. Specifically, at the first stage, the proposed training sequence aided OTFS (TS-OTFS) data frame structure facilitates the joint ATI and coarse CE, whereby both the traffic sparsity of terrestrial IoT terminals and the sparse channel impulse response are leveraged for enhanced performance. Moreover, based on the single Doppler shift property for each TSL and sparsity of delay-Doppler domain channel, we develop a parametric approach to further refine the CE performance. Finally, a least square based parallel time domain SD method is developed to detect the OTFS signals with relatively low complexity. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods over the state-of-the-art solutions in terms of ATI, CE, and SD performance confronted with the long round-trip latency and severe Doppler effect.
Wetting and layering transitions in a nano-dendrimer PAMAM structure: Monte Carlo study (2016)

This study is based on a nano-model of the dendrimer polyamidoamine (PAMAM). The idea is to examine the magnetic properties of such models in the context of wetting and the layering transitions. The studied system consists of spins Ising ferromagnetic in real nanostructure found in different scientific domains. To study this system, we perform Monte Carlo simulations leading to interesting results recapitulated in two classes. The former is the ground state phase diagrams study. The latter is the magnetic properties at non null temperatures. Also, we analyzed the effect of the terms present in the Hamiltonian governing our system such as the external magnetic field and the exchange couplings interactions.

Extreme chirped pulse modelocked diode laser ring oscillator using a theta cavity design (2005)

We demonstrate an extreme chirped pulse modelocked laser, simultaneously generating near-transform-limited 3.6 psec optical pulses and a 510 psec linearly chirped output. The design overcomes fundamental limitations of energy extraction and nonlinearities induced by gain dynamics.
IL-4 and IL-2 upregulate the expression of antigen B7, the B cell counterstructure to T cell CD28: an amplification mechanism for T-B cell interactions (1991)

We recently generated mAb 104 which is specific for the B cell activation antigen Ag B7. With this we studied the regulation of Ag B7 expression on normal tonsillar B lymphocytes as well as the activities of B7+ and B7- activated B cells. SAC and to a lesser extent anti-IgM antibody upregulated Ag B7 and this was further enhanced by IL-2 and most notably IL-4. Ag B7 was expressed on virtually all sIgG+ and sIgA+ B cells and approximately half of the sIgD+ and sIgM+ B cells. SAC-stimulated B7+ B cells proliferated and produced IgM, IgG and IgA in response to IL-2 and IgM and IgG in response to IL-4. SAC-stimulated B7- B cells proliferated and produced only IgM in response to IL-2 and IL-4. Considering that Ag B7 has recently been shown to be the counterstructure of the T cell CD28 and that CD28 triggering strongly enhances cytokine production by T cells, it is likely that the CD28/B7 interaction represents an important amplification phenomenon in T-B cell interaction leading to humoral immune responses. The preferential expression of Ag B7 on IgG and IgA committed cells suggests that CD28/B7 interaction may be more specific to secondary antibody responses provided by memory T and B cells.
HNLB: Utilizing Hardware Matching Capabilities of NICs for Offloading\n Stateful Load Balancers (2019)

In order to scale web or other services, the load on single instances of the\nrespective service has to be balanced. Many services are stateful such that\npackets belonging to the same connection must be delivered to the same\ninstance. This requires stateful load balancers which are mostly implemented in\nsoftware. On the one hand, modern packet processing frameworks supporting\nsoftware load balancers, such as the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), deliver\nhigh performance compared to older approaches. On the other hand, common\nNetwork Interface Cards (NICs) provide additional matching capabilities that\ncan be utilized for increasing the performance even further and in turn reduce\nthe necessary server resources. In fact, offloading the packet matching to\nhardware can free up CPU cycles of the servers.\n Therefore, in this work, we propose the Hybrid NIC-offloading Load Balancer\n(HNLB), a high performance hybrid hardware-software load balancer, utilizing\nthe NIC-offloading hardware matching capabilities. The results of our\nperformance evaluations show that the throughput using NIC offloading can be\nincreased by up to 50%, compared to a high performance software-only\nimplementation. Furthermore, we investigated the limitations of our proposed\napproach, e.g., the limited number of possible concurrent connections.\n
Synthesis of Novel Triplets with a 1,3,5‐Trioxazatriquinane Skeleton and Their Pharmacologies for Opioid Receptors (2015)

We designed and synthesized novel triplet molecules with 1,3,5-trioxazatriquinane skeletons. One class comprises double-capped triplets with a morphinan skeleton; the other class comprises simple phenol derivatives with phenethylamine moieties. One compound with m-phenolic hydroxyl group, called SYK-146, is a highly selective, potent agonist for the κ receptor, with activity nearly equivalent to that of U-50488H. The o-phenolic isomer of SYK-146, called SYK-524, showed potent but non-selective agonistic activity for the opioid receptors. We also added several simple phenol derivatives to a library of compounds that target opioid receptors, and they showed high hit rates for the receptor. This library might also be expected to show high hit rates for other receptors.

Diese Arbeit wurde von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), dem Bayerischen Forschungsverbund Katalyse (FORKAT) und der Bayer AG unterstützt. Wir danken Dr. Öfele und Dr. Scholz für hilfreiche Diskussionen. – 31. Mitteilung: Lit. [4c] (Aufsatz in diesem Heft). (2002)

Hoch aktiv trotz sterischer Abschirmung: Die Suzuki-Kreuzkupplung von Chlorarenen bei Raumtemperatur ist durch Einsatz eines Palladium(0)-Komplexes möglich, der zwei große N-heterocyclische Carbene als Liganden trägt (siehe Struktur). Annähernd quantitative Ausbeuten werden mit einigen Substraten schon nach zwei Stunden beobachtet, was diesen Katalysator zum aktivsten unter diesen Bedingungen macht.
Fully Biobased Photothermal Films and Coatings for Indoor Ultraviolet Radiation and Heat Management (2022)

Sustainable materials are needed to mitigate against the increase in energy consumption resulting from population growth and urbanization. Here, we report fully biobased nanocomposite films and coatings that display efficient photothermal activity and selective absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The nanocomposites with 20 wt % of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) embedded in a chitosan matrix displayed an efficient UV blocking of 97% at 400 nm along with solar energy-harvesting properties. The reflectance spectra of the nanocomposite films revealed the importance of well-dispersed nanoparticles in the matrix to achieve efficient UV-blocking properties. Finally, yet importantly, we demonstrate the nanocomposites with 20 wt % LNPs as photothermal glass coatings for passive cooling of indoor temperature by simply tailoring the coating thickness. Under simulated solar irradiation of 100 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>, the 20 μm coating achieved a 58% decrease in the temperature increment in comparison to the system with uncoated glass. These renewable nanocomposite films and coatings are highly promising sustainable solutions to facilitate indoor thermal management and improve human health and well-being.
Kinetics of the Electro‐Oxidation of Sulfite Catalyzed by Copper Ion (1989)

Kinetic studies have been performed on the reaction of an intermediate Cu(II) species in the copper‐catalyzed electro‐oxidation of sulfite using the potential step chronoamperometry, spectroelectrochemical method, and rotating ring‐disk electrode technique. It was confirmed that the kinetics of the reaction of the Cu(II) species was of the second order with respect to the Cu(II) species. The rate constant of the reaction was measured by different methods, and the obtained values were in good agreement. The kinetic results are consistent with the proposed mechanism involving a binuclear Cu(II) complex.
Z→cc¯,bb¯decays and the aspon model (1998)

The aspon model predicts mixing of hypothetical new quarks with the standard model quarks. This mixing modifies the decay rates of the $Z$ boson into quarks. In this paper, it is examined whether the measured values of ${R}_{b}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{Z}b\overline{b})/\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{Z}\mathrm{hadrons})$ and ${R}_{c}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{Z}c\overline{c})/\ensuremath{\Gamma}(\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{Z}\mathrm{hadrons})$ provide any constraints on the aspon model parameters.
An improved photon path length probability density function–based radiative transfer model for space‐based observation of greenhouse gases (2009)

We present an improved model to describe the photon path length probability density function (PPDF) that effectively accounts for both aerosol and thin cloud effects for rapid retrieval of greenhouse gas data from space‐based high spectral resolution measurements. The reasonably simple PPDF and effective transmittance parameterization permit vertical inhomogeneity of gas absorption and three plane‐parallel arbitrarily located layers to account for light‐scattering effects due to aerosol and clouds. The basic assumption to construct the PPDF model refers mainly to the presentation of PPDF in terms of weakly correlated aerosol and cloud path length components. The model was validated using Monte Carlo simulations of photon trajectories and tested for a representative set of atmospheric conditions in which both aerosol and clouds modified the path length significantly. This study also focused on the connection of PPDF parameters to atmospheric optical characteristics commonly utilized in the solution of radiative transfer equations. These characteristics were converted into PPDF parameters by PPDF retrieval from a very limited spectral range of simulated radiance including at least one gas absorption line. The results demonstrate that this method can be used effectively for rapid radiative transfer spectral calculations over a rather wide spectral range of radiance at given atmospheric optical characteristics. Another important application of such conversion is to account for a priori knowledge of atmospheric optical characteristics when retrieving amounts of gases within PPDF‐based or other methods, such as full physics algorithms that utilize the solutions of radiative transfer equations.

Effect of latency on presence in stressful virtual environments (2003)

Previous research has shown that even low end-to-end latency can have adverse effects on performance in virtual environments (VE). This paper reports on an experiment investigating the effect of latency on other metrics of VE effectiveness: physiological response, simulator sickness, and self-reported sense of presence. The VE used in the study includes two rooms: the first is normal and non-threatening; the second is designed to evoke a fear/stress response. Participants were assigned to either a low latency (/spl sim/50 ms) or high latency (/spl sim/90 ms) group. Participants in the low latency condition had a higher self-reported sense of presence and a statistically higher change in heart rate between the two rooms than did those in the high latency condition. There were no significant relationships between latency and simulator sickness.
Tetrahydronaphthyridine and Dihydronaphthyridinone Ethers As Positive Allosteric Modulators of the Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 (mGlu5) (2014)

Positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) represent a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of schizophrenia. Starting from an acetylene-based lead from high throughput screening, an evolved bicyclic dihydronaphthyridinone was identified. We describe further refinements leading to both dihydronaphthyridinone and tetrahydronaphthyridine mGlu5 PAMs containing an alkoxy-based linkage as an acetylene replacement. Exploration of several structural features including western pyridine ring isomers, positional amides, linker connectivity/position, and combinations thereof, reveal that these bicyclic modulators generally exhibit steep SAR and within specific subseries display a propensity for pharmacological mode switching at mGlu5 as well as antagonist activity at mGlu3. Structure-activity relationships within a dihydronaphthyridinone subseries uncovered 12c (VU0405372), a selective mGlu5 PAM with good in vitro potency, low glutamate fold-shift, acceptable DMPK properties, and in vivo efficacy in an amphetamine-based model of psychosis.

Quantification of Liver, Subcutaneous, and Visceral Adipose Tissues by MRI Before and After Bariatric Surgery (2019)

MRI quantification offers excellently reproducible results in measurement of liver fat and visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues. Liver fat decreased significantly faster than visceral or subcutaneous adipose tissue. Decrease in %-LF and VAT is associated with decrease in total cholesterol, LDL, and plasma insulin.
Experimental Investigation of Laccase Purification Using Aqueous Two-Phase Extraction (2012)

In this paper the partitioning behavior of laccase from a culture supernatant of a Pleurotus sapidus fermentation in an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) of polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 3000 g/mol (PEG 3000), potassium and sodium phosphate and sodium chloride is experimentally investigated. Results show that enzyme activity is retained during aqueous two-phase extraction. In addition the enzyme activity partitioning strongly depends on the sodium chloride concentration. The partitioning of impurities is not influenced with varying amounts of sodium chloride.
Apparatus for Screening Multiple Oxygen-Reduction Catalysts (2009)

An apparatus that includes an array of multiple electrodes has been invented as a means of simultaneously testing multiple materials for their utility as oxygen-reduction catalysts in fuel cells. The apparatus ensures comparability of test results by exposing all the catalyst-material specimens to the same electrolytic test solution at the same potential. Heretofore, it has been possible to test only one specimen at a time, using a precise rotating disk electrode that provides a controlled flux of solution to the surface of the specimen.
