A study on user authentication infrastructure for next generation telematics (2008)

To receive a telematics service, it must first be authenticated, and each automobile (or car navigation system) has typically been linked to a particular vehicle owner who could authenticate such services. However, an increasing number of drivers use cars that are rented, leased, or obtained through a car-sharing program; in such cases, the present form of car authentication is insufficient. A better system would authenticate the individual who is using a car at a particular time, but is not necessarily the owner. In this paper, we propose a personal authentication infrastructure for next-generation telematics. Specifically, we propose personal authentication into that (1) between the person and the terminal, (2) between the terminal and the center.
Novel Effective Small-Molecule Antibacterials against Enterococcus Strains (2017)

<i>Enterococcus</i> species cause increasing numbers of infections in hospitals. They contribute to the increasing mortality rates, mostly in patients with comorbidities, who suffer from severe diseases. <i>Enterococcus</i> resistances against most antibiotics have been described, including novel antibiotics. Therefore, there is an ongoing demand for novel types of antibiotics that may overcome bacterial resistances. We discovered a novel class of antibiotics resulting from a simple one-pot reaction of indole and <i>o</i>-phthaldialdehyde. Differently substituted indolyl benzocarbazoles were yielded. Both the indole substitution and the positioning at the molecular scaffold influence the antibacterial activity towards the various strains of <i>Enterococcus</i> species with the highest relevance to nosocomial infections. Structure-activity relationships are discussed, and the first lead compounds were identified as also being effective in the case of a vancomycin resistance.
Structure and Thermodynamical Properties of Metformin Salicylate (2013)

The behavior under thermal conditions of the cocrystal formed by metformin and salicylic acid was studied by DSC, crystallography (single-crystal), and powder diffraction (WAXS). Metformin salicylate crystallizes in space group P21/c, with the salicylate anion showing a planar structure, stabilized by strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The more flexible metformin cations link through the oxygen atoms of salicylate, forming a dense hydrogen-bonding network. The compound exists initially as a salt, metformin salicylate, but after melting and cooling, it is transformed into a glass form that crystallizes and melts again, showing different behaviors depending on the heating rate.
Implementing level 4 liveness in declarative visual programming languages (1998)

An increasingly common characteristic in visual programming languages (VPLs) is level 4 liveness-the constant monitoring of the system state with continuous redisplay as events arrive and computations progress. However, level 4 liveness can be expensive. We present an implementation method that supports level 4 liveness in declarative VPLs, ensuring without "unreasonable" cost that all values on the screen are correctly updated as computations progress. The method is especially well suited for the growing class of declarative VPLs that display continuously time varying calculations and graphics, such as GUI specification VPLs, event based or reactive VPLs, scientific visualization VPLs, or graphical simulation VPLs.
Towards a Service-Oriented Architecture for Knowledge Management in Big Data Era (2018)

Nowadays, big data is a revolution that transforms conventional enterprises into data-driven organizations in which knowledge discovered from big data will be integrated into traditional knowledge to improve decision-making and to facilitate organizational learning. Consequently, a major concern is how to evolve current knowledge management systems, which are confronted with a various and unprecedented amount of data, resulting from different data sources. Therefore, a new generation of knowledge management systems is required for exploring and exploiting big data as well as for facilitating the knowledge co-creation between the society and its business environment to foster innovation. This article proposes a service-oriented architecture for elaborating a new generation of big data-driven knowledge management systems to help enterprises to promote knowledge co-creation and to obtain more business value from big data. The proposed architecture is presented based on the principles of design science research and its evaluation uses the analytical evaluation method.
Managing information overload on large enterprise systems (2011)

Managers and operators of modern enterprise IT environments are faced with the daunting task of monitoring hundreds of thousands of interconnected elements, from individual hardware components and virtualized applications, to logical business services. Research results [1] and anecdotal evidence from network administrators indicate that common visualization techniques used to represent networks do not scale well for large dynamic environments and viewers can suffer from information overload. We interviewed managers and operators of an enterprise IT environment regarding the challenges they face when dealing with large and complex systems, how they manage to work around those problems and how well visualization tools support their workflow. Our results show the strategies used by participants to limit the effects of information overload and apply them in the design a new visualization metaphor for navigation on complex environments.
Shape Matters: Intravital Microscopy Reveals Surprising Geometrical Dependence for Nanoparticles in Tumor Models of Extravasation (2012)

Delivery is one of the most critical obstacles confronting nanoparticle use in cancer diagnosis and therapy. For most oncological applications, nanoparticles must extravasate in order to reach tumor cells and perform their designated task. However, little understanding exists regarding the effect of nanoparticle shape on extravasation. Herein we use real-time intravital microscopic imaging to meticulously examine how two different nanoparticles behave across three different murine tumor models. The study quantitatively demonstrates that high-aspect ratio single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) display extravasational behavior surprisingly different from, and counterintuitive to, spherical nanoparticles although the nanoparticles have similar surface coatings, area, and charge. This work quantitatively indicates that nanoscale extravasational competence is highly dependent on nanoparticle geometry and is heterogeneous.
Patient reported disability of ankle, hindfoot, midfoot and hallux metatarsophalangeal arthritis (2017)

Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis, Hindfoot, Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: There has been in increased interest in foot and ankle arthritis in the literature in recent years. A significant focus of the literature has been which operative techniques are best for managing these problems. Some work has been done analogizing disability due to ankle arthritis to more familiar joints such as the hip. There is little data explaining how much patient reported disability is associated with each type of isolated foot and ankle arthritis. Various clinical rating scales have proven how debilitating foot and ankle arthritides can be to patients. The purpose of our study was to use Functional Foot Index (FFI) and Short Form-12 (SF-12) rating scales to compare the patient reported disability associated with ankle, hindfoot, midfoot, and hallux metatarsalphalangeal (MTP) arthritides. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the FFI and SF-12 (both Physical Component Scores (PCS) and Mental Component Scores (MCS)) of patients who presented to a high volume orthopaedic foot and ankle practice between 2010 and 2016 with either ankle, hindfoot, midfoot or hallux MTP arthritis. We included patients between 18-65 years of age who underwent a surgical procedure for arthritis within 6 months of their initial presentation. We excluded patients with any medical or surgical co-morbidities known to affect disability scores. A total of 214 FFI and 195 SF-12 data sets were included. Results: Study population SF-12 PCS scores for all patients with ankle or foot arthritis were significantly lower than US age-based norms. Patients with ankle arthritis had the highest disability (FFI score 46.5, SF-12 PCS 32.3). Patients with midfoot and hindfoot arthritis had intermediate disability (Midfoot FFI score 34.9, SF-12 PCS 34.5; Hindfoot FFI score 44.3, SF-12 PCS 34.5). Patients with hallux MTP arthritis had the lowest disability (FFI score 32.9, SF-12 PCS 40.7). All FFI and SF-12 PCS scores were statistically significant. SF 12 MCS were not statistically significant. Conclusion: All patients with foot and ankle arthritis had increased disability compared to US age-based norms. Patients with ankle arthritis experience the most self-reported disability and patients with hallux MTP arthritis experience the least self- reported disability of the isolated types of arthritis in orthopaedic foot and ankle.
Passive millimetre wave imaging (1991)

The paper discusses the current status of passive millimetre wave radiometry as an imaging technique. The major problems are poor spatial resolution and lack of thermal sensitivity. Techniques for overcoming these difficulties are identified, including the use of aperture synthesis, multichannel receivers, correlation and inverse transform techniques.
The Arthroscopic Trillat Procedure Is a Valuable and Durable Treatment Option for Recurrent Anterior Instability Associated With Massive Irreparable Cuff Tears (2022)

Level IV, therapeutic case series.
TriPrimer-PCR Method: Rapid and Reliable Detection of Transgenes in Transgenic Rice Plants (1998)

We designed a triprimer-PCR system for detection of transgenes and applied for analysis of two different kinds of transgenic rice plants, which were previously transformed with the plasmids pBY605RR or pARP7 containing a maize ribosome-inactivating protein gene, Zmcrip3a, and a herbicide-resistant gene, bar. Genomic Southern-blot analysis demonstrated that the transgenes were stably inherited to their R1 progenies without changes in configuration. The resulting data were used as a reference for triprimer-PCR analysis. The triprimer-PCR system uses an endogenous gene as an internal standard which shares an identical priming site for one primer with a transgene while each of the other two primers is specific to either the transgene or the endogenous gene. Triprimer-PCR analysis was carried out on genomic DNA isolated from 24 different progenies of the pBY605RR- and the pARP7-transformed lines that contain different copy numbers of transgenes. The RbcS:Zmcrip3a junction region of the pBY605RR integrated in rice chromosomes, together with the endogenous RbcS, was efficiently amplified, producing 440 and 250 bp expected PCR products. Also, the Act1:Zmcrip3a junction region of the transgene pARP7 with the endogenous Act1 was similarly amplified, producing 540 and 340 bp expected PCR products. The two PCR products in each set of experiments were observed consistently and independently of copy numbers or rearrangements of the transgene. Thus, the triprimer-PCR strategy may provide a rapid and reliable method for confirming transformation or analyzing segregation of transgenes at the molecular level.
Effects of Steam-Distilled Shoot Extract ofTagetes minuta(Asterales: Asteraceae) and Entomopathogenic Fungi on LarvalTetanops myopaeformis (2010)

Interactions of a biopesticidal formulation of steam distilled shoot extract of Mexican marigold, Tagetes minuta, and entomopathogenic fungi were evaluated for management of the sugarbeet root maggot, Tetanops myopaeformis (Röder). Shoot extract plus surfactant (E-Z Mulse) (=T. minuta oil) was used in a 65:35 ratio to test the hypothesis that this fungicidal and nematocidal biopesticide causes dose-dependent mortality and developmental arrest of T. myopaeformis but does not interfere with the action of entomopathogenic fungi when applied together. A soil-petri dish bioassay system was developed to test the hypothesis. For diapausing, nonfeeding but active 12-mo-old third-instar larvae, 0.5% T. minuta oil treatment (=0.325% active ingredient [AI]) was sufficient to prevent pupation without mortality, but 0.75% T. minuta oil treatment (=0.458% AI) was lethal for 93% of the test insects. The effect of T. minuta oil on fungal efficacy under simultaneous use was studied using a model system of two entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuillemin. TM28 and Metarhizium anisopliae variety anisopliae (Metsch.) Sorokin MA 1200, in a soil-based bioassay with larval sugarbeet root maggots. No adverse effects of T. minuta oil on action of entomopathogenic fungi and no synergy were found; an additive effect of the T. minuta oil and each fungal isolate separately was found.

Anthraquinone Siloxanes as Thickening Agents for Supercritical CO2 (2016)

A series of aromatic amide-functionalized, low-molecular-weight polydimethylsiloxanes were synthesized, and their solubility and thickening ability in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) were evaluated. Amide-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oligomers with simple or electron-rich aromatic groups were found to be moderate viscosity oils, indicating that the end groups do not interact strongly enough to be thickeners. Attachment of electron-deficient aromatic groups, such as 4-nitrophenyl, biphenyl, or anthraquinone, onto these amides produced solid polysiloxanes, even at relatively higher degrees of polymerization on the PDMS core (x = 40–50). PDMS derivatives with anthraquinone-2-carboxamide (AQCA) end groups were clear, somewhat rubbery solids. These compounds were found to act as thickeners and gelators of hexanes. In addition, they were able to thicken and/or gel mixtures of hexane and scCO2. The best results were obtained with an AQCA-terminated branched PDMS. Branched fluorenone-2-carboxamide was found to be a waxy solid that was very soluble and, therefore, not a thickener for hexane, and fluorenone-4-carboxamide was a viscous oil, indicating that these amide groups did not interact sufficiently to be useful. 10,10-Dioxothioxanthone-2-carboxamides were more efficient gelators of hexane than anthraquinone-2-carboxamides. However, they were not sufficiently soluble in scCO2, even in the presence of hexane co-solvent, to be useful as thickeners.

Biogeochemical Controls on Magnetic Susceptibility Variations across a Hydrocarbon Contaminated Site (2013)

Biogeophysical investigations over the last decade have provided evidence documenting that geophysical technique can be used to assess in-situ biogeochemical processes. In this study, we investigated a site contaminated by crude oil at Bemidji, Minnesota where intrinsic bioremediation is known to occur and iron is the dormant electron acceptor process.
Structure and Photoluminescence of Eu2+ Activated SrScSi4(O,N)7 Green Phosphors (2012)

In this paper, we discuss synthesis, structure and luminescence properties of Eu2+ activated SrScSi4(O,N)7. The crystal structure was refined from the X-ray powder diffraction pattern using the Rietveld refinement method. The strontium scandium oxynitride composition is isostructural with the family of compounds MYSi4N7 (M = Ca,Sr,Ba) with hexagonal crystal system and space group P63mc. The refined unit cell parameters, a=5.9133(4)Aå, c=9.6338(7)Aå suggests lattice contraction with cell volume 291.73(5) Aå3 compared to SrYSi4N7 (306.83(1)Aå3). The Eu2+ activated material shows efficient green emission peaking around ~520nm under UV excitation with an excitation band at ~350 nm. The blue shift of emission peak position compared to SrYSi4N7:Eu2+ and its correlation to crystal structure will be discussed. We also investigate the nature of the emission and excitation bands in this Eu2+ doped material at low and high temperatures.
Characterization of the major altered leader sequence of late mRNA induced by SV40 deletion mutant dl-1811 (1979)

d1-1811 is a viable SV40 mutant with a 40 base pair deletion that includes the major wild-type capping site of late mRNA at map position 0.72. The late viral mRNAs induced by d1-1811 have now been further characterized by inversed S1-mapping analysis. The S1-resistant, 32P-labeled RNA fragments derived from the leader region were examined by fingerprinting and by analysis of RNase T2-generated 5'-terminal cap structures. The results show that most if not all of the mutant leader fragments analyzed have their 5' terminus to the left of the d1-1811 deletion site, i.e., closer to the origin of DNA replication. The major altered leader fragment is a continuous transcript from the DNA in the region 0.716 to 0.761 map unit and its 5' terminus has been precisely mapped at nucleotide L290. The observation that the cap structure of the major altered leader is only a minor cap species in wild-type late RNA suggests regulation in the use of different capping sites in SV40.
Vegetable Oils (2016)

Vegetable oils have two broad classifications: edible oils and nonedible. Vegetable oil molecules are triglycerides with unbranched chains of different lengths and different degree of saturation. The concept of using vegetable oil as fuel dates back to 1895 when Dr. Rudolf Diesel developed the first diesel engine to run on vegetable oil. Due to the ever rising crude oil prices and environmental concern, there has been a renewed focus on the vegetable oils and their derivatives for use in engines. Dilution of vegetable oils can be accomplished with such materials as diesel fuel, solvent, or ethanol. Heating of vegetable oils could reduce their viscosity and hence improve the spray pattern of vegetable oil atomization that leads to improvement in engine performance. As the engine requires frequent maintenance, this is best suited for stationary engine application particularly in power generation and water pumping generator motor set applications.
Self-Induced Supply Noise Reduction Technique in GBPS Rate Transmitters (2012)

In high speed link transmitters, one major contributor of jitter is the data-dependant switching of the transmitters. Such switching leads to oscillations in the supply R-L-C network. This paper presents an area-efficient way to reduce this supply noise by shifting the switching beyond the resonance frequency of the supply network, irrespective of the data-pattern. This scheme is implemented in HDMI transmitter in 65nm technology.
Abstract 6902: Heart Failure Measurements Using Heartlogic Directly Correlates with Increased Burden of Atrial Fibrillation (2021)

Introduction: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for death in patients with heart failure (HF). Device sensor measurements from ICDs/CRT-Ds can provide detailed data on the impact of AF on HF. HeartLogic index, HF sensor monitoring can detect worsening HF with high sensitivity. Hypothesis: We hypothesize HeartLogic sensors would be able to detect worsening HF with increased AF burden. Methods: AF burden was measured as time greater than atrial tachyarrhythmia rate of 170 bpm. Each patient day was grouped into 7 groups based on daily AF burden: No AF/normal sinus rhythm (NSR), &gt;0min, &gt;6min, &gt;1hr, &gt;5.5hr, &gt;12hr, and 24hr. Total 15,533 US patients from ALTITUDE database with HeartLogic devices and a minimum of 365 days of data were analyzed, 754 patients with all 7 levels of AF burden were included. For each group, mean daily heart sounds (S3, S1), respiratory rate (RR), rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), thoracic impedance (TI), daily and night heart rate (HR, NHR), patient time active, HeartLogic index, and the percent of in-alert days were evaluated. Sensors were compared during each AF burden and during NSR using paired T-test. Results: AF burden groups above 6min were associated to significant worsening in S1, RR, RSBI, NHR, HR and HeartLogic index (figure). Significant reduction in patient activity occurred above 5.5hr of AF burden. In-alert days (%) increased significantly during AF burden above 6min compared with NSR. Conclusions: This data suggests potential use of HeartLogic sensors to identify patients whose HF status is most impacted by development of AF and those who may benefit most from rhythm control. Additional studies using sensor based AF management may improve clinical outcomes.
Time—Resolved Optical Tissue Characterisation: Goodness of Estimation. (2009)

Statistical functions help judging optical parameters estimation (absorption μa and diffusion μs’) at different experimental conditions. We show that the reduced χ2 function is a powerful tool for judging goodness of fit and finding fitting interval, providing enough photons are acquired. Situations of small scattering or strong absorption, small interfiber distance, surface influence and fit boundaries influence with both infinite and semi-infinite diffusion model are analyzed together with the above statistical tools to judge the estimation.
Processing helix–coil transition data: Account of chain length and solvent effects (2022)

Numerous nanobiotechnologies include manipulations of short polypeptide chains. The conformational properties of these polypeptides are studied in vitro by circular dichroism and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. To find out the interaction parameters, the measured temperature dependence of normalized helicity degree needs to be further processed by fitting to a model. Using recent advances in the Hamiltonian formulation of the classical Zimm and Bragg model, we explicitly include chain length and solvent effects in the theoretical description. The expression for the helicity degree we suggest successfully fits the experimental data and provides hydrogen bonding energies and nucleation parameter values within the standards in the field.
