Controlled Release of Pheromones Through Multi-Layered Polymeric Dispensers (1976)

The purpose of this article is to discuss and review the experiences with the new 3-layer HERCON® polymeric dispenser for controlled release of such volatile organic chemicals as the insect sex pheromones and related potent behavior-controlling chemicals. The dispenser is manufactured by The Hercon Division of Health-Chem Corporation, New York, N.Y., 10010, and its first use in dispensing pheromones was reported in December 1974. (1) During the 1974 and 1975 seasons, millions of these dispensers containing sex pheromones were sold. This paper will report and examine the results that have become available and comment on the future potential of the product. First, some background material is in order. In the mid-fifties we began to hear of insects becoming resistant to insecticides and of pesticide residues appearing in our food. Later we heard of wildlife being affected, beneficial insects being destroyed along with the injurious ones, and that our
Measurements of the pseudorapidity dependence of the total transverse energy in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV with ATLAS (2012)

A bstract This paper describes measurements of the sum of the transverse energy of particles as a function of particle pseudorapidity, η , in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy, $ \sqrt{s}=7 $ TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are performed in the region | η | &lt; 4 . 8 for two event classes: those requiring the presence of particles with a low transverse momentum and those requiring particles with a significant transverse momentum. In the second dataset measurements are made in the region transverse to the hard scatter. The distributions are compared to the predictions of various Monte Carlo event generators, which generally tend to underestimate the amount of transverse energy at high | η |.
Rivivere la storia tra scuola e territorio. Due esperienze di re-enactment e living history in Toscana (2022)

The essay describes how Living History, an activity of concrete evocation of past events in the present, linked to the daily actions of the historical period described, is intertwined with the approach of "material civilization" developed by Fernand Braudel and with micro-history described by Lucien Febvre and March Bloch in connection with the Annales methodology. The re-enactment, if it is built according to correct theoretical and methodological references, linked to historical documents, devoid of folklore, can represent a useful tool for building popular participation and knowledge about events and characters from the past.
Design and applications of ferroelectric nonvolatile SRAM and flip-flop with unlimited read/program cycles and stable recall (2004)

Circuit techniques to realize unlimited program cycle operation in ferroelectric nonvolatile (NV) SRAM have been developed with conventional ferroelectric materials. Program operation is separated into volatile write operation without polarization change and nonvolatile store operation with polarization change. Biasing of the memory cell is optimized to meet reliability requirements. The developed circuit principle is extended to implement a low-power nonvolatile flip-flop applicable to long communication range radio frequency identification tag LSIs.
Simplifying Access Control in Enterprise Networks (2007)

Today, access control configuration in large enterprise environments is a highly complex process that involves the manual configuration of a wide range of network devices including routers, VLANs and firewalls. Much of this complexity arises from the asynchrony between routing and access control that often requires contorted network topologies that lack redundant paths, have tight pinning of routes, and physical placement of firewalls along the data path to achieve access control. &lt;p&gt; In this paper, we propose Access Control Routing (ACR), a clean-slate and flexible approach to simplify access control configuration in large-scale enterprise networks. ACR uses a single parameter, class, to couple access control and routing. It requires that each end-host specify its access control policies at the granularity of a class. On the network side, the control plane establishes logical reachability networks for every class, and the data plane explicitly labels each packet with a class based on the source. Unlike traditional access control configuration approaches, ACR can easily adapt to network topology or routing changes and is better suited to handle network failures. ACR eliminates the need for VLANs and also provides the flexibility of automatically routing traffic through arbitrary middle-boxes without physical topology manipulation. Using a software-based router implementation of ACR and access control policies gathered from four large commercial enterprise networks, we show that ACR can easily be adopted in large enterprise environments with little additional performance overhead
Coordinate regulation of ELF5 and EHF at the chr11p13 CF modifier region (2019)

E74-like factor 5 (ELF5) and ETS-homologous factor (EHF) are epithelial selective ETS family transcription factors (TFs) encoded by genes at chr11p13, a region associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease severity. EHF controls many key processes in lung epithelial function so its regulatory mechanisms are important. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we removed three key cis-regulatory elements (CREs) from the chr11p13 region and also activated multiple open chromatin sites with CRISPRa in airway epithelial cells. Deletion of the CREs caused subtle changes in chromatin architecture and site-specific increases in EHF and ELF5. CRISPRa had most effect on ELF5 transcription. ELF5 levels are low in airway cells but higher in LNCaP (prostate) and T47D (breast) cancer cells. ATAC-seq in these lines revealed novel peaks of open chromatin at the 5' end of chr11p13 associated with an expressed ELF5 gene. Furthermore, 4C-seq assays identified direct interactions between the active ELF5 promoter and sites within the EHF locus, suggesting coordinate regulation between these TFs. ChIP-seq for ELF5 in T47D cells revealed ELF5 occupancy within EHF introns 1 and 6, and siRNA-mediated depletion of ELF5 enhanced EHF expression. These results define a new role for ELF5 in lung epithelial biology.
Initial clinical assessment of DCFBC-PET for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) (2011)

41 Objectives [18F]DCFBC (DCFBC) targets the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). This initial study evaluates DCFBC uptake in patients with metastatic PCa. Methods 5 patients with biopsy proved PCa and radiologic evidence of progressive metastatic disease were enrolled. 370 MBq DCFBC (97.6 ± 0.6% radiochemical purity, SA = 285 GBq/μmol - 2,368 GBq/μmol) was injected IV. PET at 2 h post-injection was assessed. Foci above background considered positive on PET (PET+) were compared to recent conventional imaging modality (CIM; CT and bone scan). PET+ SUVmax and liver, blood pool, and muscle SUVavg were calculated. We also tested human plasma for ability to hydrolyze N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG), an indicator of PSMA activity in blood, and the ability for DCFBC to inhibit this hydrolysis. Results 32 PET+ sites were identified. DCFBC-PET showed moderate uptake in liver, blood, kidney, with minimal radioactivity in other tissues. 17 PET+ sites were in LN and 15 in bone. Median PET+ LN SUVmax was 5.6 (2.3 to 11.6), and median bone SUVmax was 3.6 (2.6 to 8.2). Tumor SUVmax to muscle SUVavg ratios demonstrated a median value of 9.1 (5.4 to 16.4). Tumor to blood pool ratio, as represented by tumor SUVmax to aorta SUVavg ratio, had a median of 1.7 (0.8 to 2.6). 42 lesions were seen on PET and CIM. Of 32 PET+ sites, 21 were concordant on PET and CIM. The other 11 PET+ sites not detected by CIM were unconfirmed but considered suspicious for metastases. 7 bone sites thought to be benign fracture or stable changes on bone scan were negative by PET. DCFBC inhibited NAAG hydrolysis activity in human plasma (IC50 = 3 pM). Conclusions DCFBC-PET demonstrated uptake concordant with PCa metastases as determined by CIM. Blood pool activity may be due to DCFBC binding to a circulating form of PSMA. Research Support PCF, RSNA, CA134675
Organic Solar Cell Characterization: Electronically Monodisperse Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Thin Films as Transparent Conducting Anodes in Organic Photovoltaic Devices (Adv. Energy Mater. 5/2011) (2011)

The image depicts a series of electronic-type sorted single-walled carbon nanotubes suspended in solution. The rays of light emanating from behind the samples is suggestive of the solar energy that these materials help capture in organic photovoltaic cells. On p. 785 Mark Hersam and co-workers demonstrate that the green metallic solutions yield transparent electrodes with improved stability compared to their red semiconducting counterparts.
Differential Role of Programmed Death-Ligand 1 and Programmed Death-Ligand 2 in Regulating the Susceptibility and Chronic Progression of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (2006)

Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a negative costimulatory molecule, and blocking the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands, PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC), enhances autoimmune disease in several animal models. We have studied the role of PD-1 ligands in disease susceptibility and chronic progression in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In BALB/c mice immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide 35-55, PD-L1 but not PD-L2 blockade significantly increased EAE incidence. In B10.S mice immunized with myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) peptide 139-151, both PD-L1 and PD-L2 blockade markedly enhanced EAE severity. In prediabetic NOD mice immunized with PLP48-70, PD-L2 blockade worsened EAE but did not induce diabetes, whereas PD-L1 blockade precipitated diabetes but did not worsen EAE, suggesting different regulatory roles of these two ligands in EAE and diabetes. B6 mice immunized with MOG35-55 developed chronic persistent EAE, and PD-L2 blockade in the chronic phase exacerbated EAE, whereas PD-L1 blockade did not. In contrast, SJL/J mice immunized with PLP139-151 developed chronic relapsing-remitting EAE, and only PD-L1 blockade during remission precipitated EAE relapse. The strain-specific effects of PD-1 ligand blockade did not correlate with the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on dendritic cells and macrophages in lymphoid tissue, or on inflammatory cells in the CNS. However, EAE enhancement is correlated with less prominent Th2 cytokine induction after specific PD-1 ligand blockade. In conclusion, PD-L1 and PD-L2 differentially regulate the susceptibility and chronic progression of EAE in a strain-specific manner.
Measurements of Pressure-Hole Error in Flow of Viscoelastic Polymeric Solutions: Effects of Hole Size and Solution Concentration (1973)

In order to investigate the possibility of having pressure-hole errors when measuring pressure during experiments on the flow of polymer solutions through dies, slit dies were constructed having various aspect ratios and various sizes of pressure hole. Each slit die has three pressure transducers mounted flush with the wall of one long side of the rectangular slot and, in the opposite side, three other transducers mounted through pressure holes. Measurements of wall pressure were taken on both walls along the longitudinal centerline of the die. In the present study, first Newtonian liquids of two different viscosities (INDOPOL polybutenes L-50 and L-100) were used. It has been found that the Newtonian liquids tested give rise to pressure-hole errors, which are correlatable with the viscous effect alone. And then, three viscoelastic polymeric solutions were used. These were: 2% polyisobutylene (PIB) in decalin, 2% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in water, and aqueous solutions of polyacrylamide (ET597) of varying concentrations: 0.6, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 weight-percent. The wall pressure measurements obtained in the present study show that substantial pressure-hole errors are present when 0.6% ET597 solutions are being studied, increasing with volumetric flow rate and hole size, and that pressure-hole errors are decreased as solution concentration is increased. It has been found that ET597 solutions of 6% concentration and higher give almost negligible pressure-hole errors, i.e., they fall within the measurement error. This concentration dependence of pressure-hole error indirectly corroborates the earlier findings by Han, who reported that polymer melts give no discernible pressure-hole error. A general expression is proposed for correlating pressure-hole error with hole size, viscous effect, and elastic effect. This correlation is then used to explain the observed difference in pressure-hole errors for ET597 solutions of different concentration.
Impact Performance of Magnetorheological Fluids (2004)

As part of an emerging effort in what is now termed the area of mechamatronics [1], an effort was begun to assess the suitability of MR (magnetorheological) material based devices for impact energy management applications. A fundamental property of MR materials is that their yield stress alters almost instantaneously (and proportionally) to changes in the strength of an applied magnetic field. Based on this property, MR based devices, if found suitable, would be desirable for impact energy management applications because of attendant response tailorability. However, it was identified that prior to adopting MR based devices for impact energy management applications several key issues needed to be addressed. The present study focused on one of the most significant of these, the verification of the tunability of the response of such devices at stroking velocities representative of vehicular crashes. Impact tests using a free-flight drop tower facility were conducted on an MR based energy absorber (shock absorber) for a range of impact velocities and magnetic field strengths. Results demonstrated that over the range of impact velocities tested — 1.0 to 10 m/s — the stroking force/energy absorption exhibited by the device remained dependent on and thus could be modified by changes in the strength of the applied magnetic field.

Hybrid technology (3D additive printing &#x2014; silicon &#x2014; glass) multiline evaporative concentrator for water quality monitoring system (2013)

This paper reports the design, fabrication procedure and functional tests of a continuous-flow hybrid technology 16-line evaporative concentrator. The unique and complete integration of the microscale silicon-glass evaporator with a mesoscale 3D printed polymer manifold platform is successfully demonstrated. The hardware platform of concentrator control unit is described. The continuous-flow concentrator chips were tested with respect to their evaporation capability. A very high water evaporation rates were achieved in evaporative concentrator. An evaporation rate of 10 μL/min, achieved in mild conditions, compatible with biological sample treatment (T≤37°C), allowed for 4-fold sample enrichment. High-throughput flow ability and 33-fold concentration factor achieved in temperature of 50°C facilitates the application of prototype for chemical sample enrichment.
Novel activating BRAF fusion identifies a recurrent alternative mechanism for ERK activation in pediatric Langerhans cell histiocytosis (2017)

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm characterized by constitutive activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Genomic characterization has identified activating point mutations including mutually exclusive BRAFV600E and activating MAP2K1 mutations to be responsible for ERK activation in a majority of pediatric LCH patients. Here, we report the discovery of a novel BRAF kinase fusion, PACSIN2-BRAF, in a child with multisystem LCH. This is the second reported case of an activating BRAF kinase fusion and indicates a recurrent pathologic mechanism. Genomic evaluation for activating kinase fusions should be strongly considered in pediatric LCH patients lacking more common mutations.
Positive ions in spark breakdown of SF6 (1981)

Positive ions formed by spark discharges and via reactions following the discharge in SF6 in the pressure range 13-67 kPa have been detected and identified using high-pressure quadrupole mass spectrometry. Results are presented for ions produced in 'unpurified' SF6, 'purified' SF6 and binary mixtures of 'purified' SF6 with N2 and O2. Without reduction of air and water impurities to the parts per million level the major ions detected at P>or approximately=40 kPa were N2O2F+, H2SOF2+, N2F4+, S2NF4+, S2NOF4+, S2NO2F4+, and S2NF8+. These were identified through additions of N2, O2, D2O, and the measurement of sulphur isotope ratios. After extensive purification of SF6, the predominant ions at these pressures were S2F7+ and SF3+. The effect of impurities is discussed in light of work performed by others which shows that the long-lived neutral products depend strongly on impurities.

A biomechanical basis for tears of the human acetabular labrum (2008)

The biomechanical properties in the anterosuperior region may be a contributing factor to the initiation of labral tears.
A noninvasive method for total peripheral resistance baroreflex identification (2002)

We developed a noninvasive method for estimating the static gains of the arterial and cardiopulmonary total peripheral resistance (TPR) baroreflexes. The method involves a system identification analysis of beat-to-beat fluctuations in arterial blood pressure (ABP), cardiac output (CO), and stroke volume (SV) in order to identify two transfer functions relating CO fluctuations to ABP fluctuations and SV fluctuations to ABP fluctuations. The static gains of each of the TPR baroreflexes may then be computed from the static gains of the two identified transfer functions. In order to evaluate the method, we constructed a computer model of the human cardiovascular system. We applied the method to data generated from the computer model and found close agreement between the estimated and actual static gains of the model TPR baroreflexes. We also applied the method to experimental human data and obtained encouraging results. These results motivate the experimental validation of the method.
Network Slicing for eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC: An Uplink Rate-Splitting Multiple Access Approach (2022)

There are three generic services in 5G: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). To guarantee the performance of heterogeneous services, network slicing is proposed to allocate resources to different services. Network slicing is typically done in an orthogonal multiple access (OMA) fashion, which means different services are allocated non-interfering resources. However, as the number of users grows, OMA-based slicing is not always optimal, and a non-orthogonal scheme may achieve a better performance. This work aims to analyse the performances of different slicing schemes in uplink, and a promising scheme based on rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) is studied. RSMA can provide a more flexible decoding order and theoretically has the largest achievable rate region than OMA and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) without time-sharing. Hence, RSMA has the potential to increase the rate of users requiring different services. In addition, it is not necessary to decode the two split streams of one user successively, so RSMA lets suitable users split messages and designs an appropriate decoding order depending on the service requirements. This work shows that for network slicing RSMA can outperform NOMA counterpart, and obtain significant gains over OMA in some region.
