Prevalence of Antibodies to Lymphadenophahy‐AIDS Virus in French Haemophiliacs (1985)

49 French haemophiliacs (haemophilia A: 41 patients; haemophilia B: 8 patients) were serologically testes for lymphadenopathy-AIDS virus antibodies: 10 patients (20.4%) were seropositive including 9 (21.9%) with haemophilia A and 1 (12.5%) with haemophilia B. Among haemophiliacs A, seropositive patients received significantly larger amounts of factor VIII concentrate during the 2 years preceding the study.
Virtual bronchoscopy - relationships of virtual reality endobronchial simulations to actual bronchoscopic findings (1996)

Advances in computer technology have permitted development of reality images of the tracheobronchial tree using data sets derived from helical CT of the chest. To determine the relevance of these images to actual bronchoscopic findings, we compared virtual images with videotaped bronchoscopy results in 20 patients who had undergone both helical chest CT and fiberoptic bronchoscopy during clinical evaluation of their thoracic problems. Suboptimal endobronchial simulations in ten patients identified important, readily-addressed technical requirements for this imaging procedure. In the ten patients with technically suitable renderings of the airway, bronchoscopy simulations accurately demonstrated endobronchial obstructions by tumor in five, airway distortion and/or ectasia in four, and accessory bronchi in another. These preliminary observations suggest that bronchoscopy simulations accurately represent major endobronchial anatomic findings. This technique may have a role in prebronchoscopy planning, endoscopy training, and/or endobronchial therapy, and merits further study.
[Emulsification experiments with dimethylsiloxane/phenylmethylsiloxane copolymer]. (1997)

We compared the emulsification tendency of dimethylsiloxane/phenylmethylsiloxane copolymer (DPC; 5%-phenylated, specific gravity 0.984) with that of silicone oil (dimethylsiloxane; SO, specific gravity 0.966) and fluorosilicone oil (methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane; FSO, specific gravity 1.256), which are clinically used as an intraocular tamponade. After SO, DPC and FSO were placed in a glass container with an equal amount of albumin solution (1 mg/ml) or gamma-globulin solution (1 mg/ml), and shaken SO and DPC, with their specific gravities being closer to water, showed less emulsification than FSO. Following vitrectomy, DPC was injected into the rabbit vitreous cavity, but did not seem to show any severe histological damage. Highly-phenylated DPC, which is slightly heavier than water, may be useful to treat inferior retinal detachment in place of FSO.

<title>Single-layer color hologram recording</title> (1998)

Processing of color silver halide holographic materials is still the subject of laboratory studies rather then established technology. Therefore any new approaches to the problem would extend the understanding of the process. the article describes the chemical processing of color holograms recorded on PFG-03C plates that is supposed to be more adequate compared to formerly known ones. The processing employs the experience accumulated during years of work with Russian PE-2, PFG-03 and -03M emulsions and is the application of well known solution physical development to the case of color hologram recording. Once such color hologram is recorded, its optimal reconstruction conditions should be determined for proper color revision. This can be done through the analysis of the angular-spectral selectivity of the hologram.
Back To Meshes: Optimal Simulation-ready Mesh Prototypes For Autoencoder-based 3D Car Point Clouds (2020)

Point cloud autoencoders were recently introduced as powerful models for data compression. They learn a lowdimensional set of variables that are suitable as design parameters for shape generation and optimization problems. In engineering tasks, 3D point clouds are often derived from fine polygon meshes, which are the most suitable representations for physics simulation, e.g., computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Yet, the reconstruction of high-quality meshes from autoencoder-based point clouds is challenging, often requiring supervised and manual work, which is prohibitive during the optimization. Target shape matching optimization using existing mesh prototypes overcomes the difficulties of recovering shape information from the point coordinates. However, for autoencoders trained on data sets comprising shapes with high degree of dissimilarity, there is not a single mesh prototype that can fit any autoencoder-based point cloud, and the selection of a set of prototypes is nontrivial. In the present paper we propose a method for optimizing a selection of prototypical meshes to match the maximum number of shapes in the autoencoder output space as possible, which is achieved by linking the advantages of the latent space representation of an autoencoder and the state-of-the-art free form deformation (FFD) method. Furthermore, we approached the balance between costs (number of mesh prototypes) and number of covered shapes by varying the number of prototypes and the dimensionality of the autoencoder latent space, showing that higher-dimensional latent spaces encode finer geometric changes, requiring more sophisticated FFD setups.
Efficient and robust communication topologies for distributed decision making in networked systems (2009)

Distributed decision making in networked systems depends critically on the timely availability of critical fresh information. Performance of networked systems, from the perspective of achieving goals and objectives in a timely and efficient manner is constrained by their collaboration and communication structures and their interplay with the networked system's dynamics. In most cases achieving the system objectives requires many agent to agent communications. A reasonable measure for system robustness to communication topology change is the number of spanning trees in the graph abstraction of the communication system. We address the problem of network formation with robustness and connectivity constraints. Solutions to this problem have also applications in trust and the relationship of trust to control. We show that the general combinatorial problem can be relaxed to a convex optimization problem. We solve the special case of adding a shortcut to a given structure and provide insights for derivation of heuristics for the general case. We also analyze the small world effect in the context of abrupt increases in the number of spanning trees as a result of adding a few shortcuts to a base lattice in the Watts-Strogatz framework and thereby relate efficient topologies to small world and expander graphs.
Interaction between gold nanoclusters and gold nanoparticles encapsulated in polymer nanoparticles (2023)

Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) feature size-dependent photoluminescence, with an extremely high photostability and a large Stokes shift. However, they can have limited colloidal stability and low luminescence quantum yields that hinder promising application in bioimaging, sensing and catalysis. Here we report the encapsulation of AuNCs with 25 gold atoms stabilized with 6-mercaptohexanoic acid ligands (Au25(MHA)18) into methacrylate polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) with c.a. 50 nm diameter. The time evolution of these structures in aqueous dispersion shows the formation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with c.a. 4 nm diameter, leading to a 2-fold emission amplification (EA) of the AuNCs due to the field enhancement effect of the plasmon. The EA can be controlled by the annealing time of the PNPs in dispersion, the temperature and irradiation time. The optical properties of the PNPs are frozen upon drying because the diffusion of AuNCs inside the PNPs is negligible in the absence of solvent.
Functionalized Carbodiimide Mediated Synthesis of 2,3-Disubstituted Quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via the Tandem Strategy of C-Nucleophilic Addition and Intramolecular NH-Substitution Cyclization (2012)

A facile synthesis of quinazolin-4(3<i>H</i>)-ones possessing carbon substituents at positions 2 and 3 has been developed. Key to the synthesis is a tandem strategy involving introduction of a 2-substituent and construction of the quinazolinone framework via C-nucleophilic addition to the carbodiimide cumulenic carbon followed by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution by the newly formed NH moiety at the proximal ester group.
Alternative Avionics Display Formats and Control Technologies for Tomorrow’s Flight Deck (1999)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Tomorrow’s flight deck will contain avionics similar in nature to today’s aircraft. However, tomorrow’s avionics display formats and the manner in which pilots will interact with and control those displays will be significantly different. These differences will be for the benefit of the pilot and allow him/her to intuitively interact with their equipment, increase their performance, and heighten the safety of all passengers aboard. This paper will highlight some of the advanced avionics display formats and control technologies that the Human Interface Technology Group of Rockwell Collins, Inc. Advanced Technology Center (ATC) have been investigating over the last year and provide recommendations for future research efforts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Role of S∕Se ratio in chemical bonding of As–S–Se glasses investigated by Raman, x-ray photoelectron, and extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopies (2005)

Chalcogenide glasses have attracted considerable attention and found various applications due to their infrared transparency and other optical properties. The As–S–Se chalcogenide glass, with its large glass-formation domain and favorable nonlinear property, is a promising candidate system for tailoring important optical properties through modification of glass composition. In this context, a systematic study on ternary As–S–Se glass, chalcogen-rich versus well-studied stochiometric compositions, has been carried out using three different techniques: Raman spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. These complementary techniques lead to a consistent understanding of the role of S∕Se ratio in chalcogen-rich As–S–Se glasses, as compared to stochiometric composition, and to provide insight into the structural units (such as the mixed pyramidal units) and evidence for the existence of homopolar bonds (such as Se–Se, S–S, and Se–S), which are the possible structural origin of the high nonlinearity in these glasses.
Efficient field emission of gold and platinum nanowire patch arrays (2009)

Metallic nanostructures with controllable dimension and high aspect ratio provide an interesting alternative to carbon nanotubes for triode applications which require highly efficient and homogeneous field emission cathodes. Noble metal nanowires (NW) were electrochemically synthesized into the randomly distributed cylindrical pores of polycarbonate templates fabricated by GeV-ion irradiation, selective pore etching and subsequent metallization with a stable backing layer. After dissolution of the polycarbonate, freestanding solitary or clustered gold NW were found depending on the irradiation fluence and the NW length. Systematic studies of Au-NW cathodes revealed promising field emission properties. Therefore, regular patch arrays of gold or platinum NW were fabricated by using shadow masks during irradiation. A test mask with four quadratic arrays of patches of 50 mum diameter and different pitch size (100 and 150 mum) was used to optimize the fluence (10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</sup> -10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">8</sup> /cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) and NW length (7-28 mum) with respect to emitter efficiency and alignment. A second mask with a hexagonal array of 150 mum diameter patches and 320 mum pitch was then employed to develop cathodes suitable for triode devices.

Distribution and neuronal circuit of spexin 1/2 neurons in the zebrafish CNS (2019)

Spexin (SPX) is a highly conserved neuropeptide that is widely expressed in mammalian brain and peripheral tissue. In teleost, SPX1 is mainly expressed in the brain and ovary, and is involved in reproduction and food intake. A second form of SPX, SPX2, was recently identified in chick, Xenopus, and zebrafish. The expression pattern and roles of SPX2 are unknown. SPX (spx1) is highly expressed in the vertebrate brain, but its distribution, circuits, and interactions with its putative receptor are unknown. Here, we observed expression of spx1 in the midbrain and hindbrain, and spx2 in the hypothalamic preoptic area using in situ RNA hybridization in zebrafish. Analysis of transgenic reporter zebrafish revealed that hindbrain SPX1 neurons are PAX2<sup>+</sup> inhibitory interneurons and project to the spinal cord, where they interact with galanin receptor 2b (GALR2b) neurons, suggesting that hindbrain SPX1 neurons are reticulospinal neurons. spx1 mRNA and SPX1 reporter expression were observed in dorsal habenula (dHb). SPX1 neurons in the dHb project to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN), where GALR2a and GALR2b expression was also observed, suggesting that habenula SPX1 neurons may interact with GALR2a/2b in the IPN.
Creating and Transferring an Innervated, Vascularized Muscle Flap Made from an Elastic, Cellularized Tissue Construct Developed In Situ (2023)

Reanimating facial structures following paralysis and muscle loss is a surgical objective that would benefit from improved options for harvesting appropriately sized muscle flaps. The objective of this study is to apply electrohydrodynamic processing to generate a cellularized, elastic, biocomposite scaffold that could develop and mature as muscle in a prepared donor site in vivo, and then be transferred as a thin muscle flap with a vascular and neural pedicle. First, an effective extracellular matrix (ECM) gel type is selected for the biocomposite scaffold from three types of ECM combined with poly(ester urethane)urea microfibers and evaluated in rat abdominal wall defects. Next, two types of precursor cells (muscle-derived and adipose-derived) are compared in constructs placed in rat hind limb defects for muscle regeneration capacity. Finally, with a construct made from dermal ECM and muscle-derived stem cells, protoflaps are implanted in one hindlimb for development and then microsurgically transferred as a free flap to the contralateral limb where stimulated muscle function is confirmed. This construct generation and in vivo incubation procedure may allow the generation of small-scale muscle flaps appropriate for transfer to the face, offering a new strategy for facial reanimation.
The Plasticity of Melanoma Cells and Associated Clinical Implications (2007)

The molecular signature of aggressive cutaneous and uveal melanoma cells is consistent with an undifferentiated cell with a genetic profile similar to that of embryonic cells. The associated plastic phenotype may explain how aggressive melanoma cells can mimic endothelial cells, participate in neovascularization of tissues, and form a fluid-conducting meshwork through a process called vasculogenic mimicry. Although elucidation of the biological steps of melanoma vasculogenic mimicry should lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, the clinical management of cutaneous and uveal melanoma (as well as many other types of cancers), would benefit from the identification of valid predictors of disease progression and metastatic potential. In this regard, recent studies aimed at characterizing the molecular signature of melanoma tumor cells has resulted in a classification scheme for malignant cutaneous melanoma, as well as a molecular profile for uveal melanoma, which may contribute to improving the diagnosis and treatment of this and possibly other cancers.
Using a Kalman Filter to predict visuomotor adaptation behavior (2005)

The sensorimotor system recalibrates when the visual and motor maps are in conflict, bringing the maps back into correspondence. We investigated the rate at which this recalibration occurs. The Kalman filter is a reasonable statistical model for describing visuomotor adaptation. It predicts that the rate of adaptation is dependent on the reliability of the feedback signal. It also predicts that random trial-to-trial perturbation of the feedback signal should have little or no effect on the adaptation rate. We tested these predictions using a pointing task. Subjects pointed with the unseen hand to a brief visual target. Visual feedback was then provided to indicate where the pointing movement had landed. During the experiment, we introduced a constant conflict between the pointing and feedback locations, and we examined the changes in pointing as the subject adapted. From the change in pointing position over trials we determined the adaptation rate. In experiment 1, we tested whether the reliability of the feedback affected adaptation rate by blurring the visual feedback and thereby reducing its localisability. Six levels of blur were used and spatial discrimination measurements confirmed that the blur was effective in altering stimulus localisability. We also constructed a Kalman filter model of the task. We found that adaptation rates of the filter and of the subjects decreased when blur was increased (ie with less reliable feedback). In experiment 2, the reliability of the visual feedback signal was manipulated by randomly perturbing the feedback signal on a trial-by-trial basis. Again, in good agreement with the prediction of the Kalman filter, we found no significant effect on adaptation rate as we manipulated the amount of perturbation. Taken together, these results provide evidence that human visuomotor adaptation behaviour is well modeled by a Kalman filter that uses weighted information from previous trials, including the reliability of the information, to update the visuomotor map.
Advances in the treatment of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (2013)

Introduction: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) represent a class of neurodegenerative disorders typically characterized by cognitive and visual impairment, seizures, deterioration of motor skills and early mortality. There has been increased interest in developing therapies directed towards slowing the progression, and possibly preventing and reversing the impact of these disorders. Despite many challenges, including the presence of the blood–brain barrier which prevents access to the central nervous system (CNS) and the need to markedly remove accumulated debris throughout the CNS, many treatment modalities have been proposed, including enzyme replacement therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, small molecule pharmacotherapy and diet modifications. Some therapies have demonstrated measures of success, and these have progressed to human clinical trials. Continued development of current therapies and discovery of newer approaches will be essential for success. Areas covered: The reader will be introduced to the 14 known NCLs, the current approach to therapies, the evidence for efficacy and the challenges to success both at the pre-clinical and clinical stage. This review corresponds to the literatures covering the years from 1968 to mid-2013. Expert opinion: Much progress has been made in the classification of this family of neurologic diseases, including the genetic basis and functional outcomes which have led to the evaluation of several therapeutic interventions. These include enzyme replacement therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, small molecule pharmacotherapy and diet modifications, each of which has associated pros and cons. Successful therapies in the future may necessitate the combination of two or more therapeutic modalities.
Tumor‐infiltrating mesenchymal stem cells: Drivers of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in prostate cancer? (2018)

Prostate cancer-infiltrating MSCs suppress T-cell proliferation similar to canonical bone marrow-derived MSCs, which have well-documented immunosuppressive properties with numerous effects on both innate and adaptive immune system function. Thus, we hypothesize that selective depletion of MSCs infiltrating sites of prostate cancer should restore immunologic recognition and elimination of malignant cells via broad re-activation of cytotoxic pro-inflammatory pathways.
City soundscape (2012)

This paper details an application to monitor noise in a city. The soundscape application involves capturing of audio data using user's mobile phone, extracting the features and posting the same to the backend, running analytics on the same and then displaying it using a legend-based heat-map on a dashboard. This application can be widely used by the government to check noise pollution and to alert authorities of protests, terrorist attacks and other mass-destructible calamities.
