Surface enhancement factors for Raman scattering at silver electrodes. Role of adsorbate–surface interactions and electronic structure (1985)

The integrated Raman band intensities for internal vibrational modes of various adsorbates at roughened silver electrodes are combined with surface concentrations obtained electrochemically to yield surface Raman scattering cross sections. These data together with the corresponding bulk-phase Raman intensities provide estimates of the degree of enhancement of the vibrational bands at the silver surface with respect to the bulk medium, i.e., the ‘‘surface enhancement factors,’’ SEF. For surface-attached thiocyanate, isothiocyanate-bridged Cr(III) complexes, and also for Cr(III) and Co(III) hexaammines that are electrostatically attracted to chloride-coated silver, SEF values are obtained that are relatively insensitive to both the vibrational mode and the adsorbate, even though substantial (up to 500 fold) variations are observed in the Raman cross sections. This finding applies to stretching modes involving nonbridging ammine groups as well as to bridging thiocyanate modes, although the frequencies of the latter, but not of the former, are perturbed strongly by the silver surface. Comparisons were also made between Raman cross sections, surface enhancement factors, and excitation profiles for pyrazinepentaammineosmium(III) and (II) to explore the influence of electronic resonance since the Os(II) form displays an intense charge-transfer band in the vicinity of the laser wavelengths (460–650 nm) employed. A pronounced peak in the Os(II) excitation profile, absent for Os(III), is obtained that is markedly (∼100 nm) red shifted for the adsorbed vs bulk complex.

Antibody to sigma 32 cross-reacts with DnaK: association of DnaK protein with Escherichia coli RNA polymerase. (1988)

A polyclonal antibody to sigma 32, the heat shock sigma factor, has been used to show the presence of low levels of sigma 32 in Escherichia coli RNA polymerase preparations (E sigma 70), which explains the observed in vitro activity of E sigma 70 towards heat shock genes. The sigma 32 antibody cross-reacts with DnaK, and DnaK has been found associated with purified preparations of both E sigma 70 and the heat shock RNA polymerase, E sigma 32.
Control of Minimally Persistent Formations in the Plane (2009)

This paper studies the problem of controlling the shape of a formation of point agents in the plane. A model is considered where the distance between certain agent pairs is maintained by one of the agents making up the pair; if enough appropriately chosen distances are maintained, with the number growing linearly with the number of agents, then the shape of the formation will be maintained. The detailed question examined in the paper is how one may construct decentralized nonlinear control laws to be operated at each agent that will restore the shape of the formation in the presence of small distortions from the nominal shape. Using the theory of rigid and persistent graphs, the question is answered. As it turns out, a certain submatrix of a matrix known as the rigidity matrix can be proved to have nonzero leading principal minors, which allows the determination of a stabilizing control law.
Interfacial strengthening of high-impact polypropylene compounds by reactive modification (2005)

Abstract The effects of reactive modification on the interfacial strength in high-impact polypropylene materials have been investigated using a model system and demonstrated in two specific examples on high flow materials for thin wall injection moulding and reinforced compounds for engineering applications. Using Borealis' proprietary modification technology, the modification degree was controlled by varying the free radical initiator and co-agent content, respectively. The influence of the modification degree on the formation of ethylene-propylene copolymer grafted to polypropylene, which is believed to be the main reason for the strengthened interface between the PP matrix and EPR particles, the phase morphology and material properties was investigated. Depending on practical application requirements, a well defined material performance such as toughness, flowability, surface stability, etc. could be adjusted.

A V-Band Waveguide Transition Design Appropriate for Monolithic Integration (2007)

V-band microstrip-to-waveguide transition design suitable for monolithic integration is presented. The transition size is minimized by using a dipole instead of a tapered slot. Integrating a single transition to the MMIC chip is expected to increases the total chip size by only 500 microns at 60 GHz. HFSS simulations show the transition possess 14 percent bandwidth for -10 dB mismatch loss. A dipole transition scale model was tested using X-band waveguide. The results showed the 10-dB mismatch bandwidth of 10 percent and the minimum insertion loss of 1.9 dB.
Etude des interactions chromophore - matrice dans des materiaux hybrides organiques-inorganiques (1997)

Des colorants organiques de la famille des tetraarylporphyrines et l'ion neodyme ont ete inseres dans des materiaux hybrides organiques-inorganiques elabores par le procede sol-gel. Ces xerogels sont synthetises a partir de l'organosilane si(me)#2(oet)#2 et du n-propoxyde de zirconium zr(opr#n)#4. Leur structure a ete caracterisee par differentes techniques comme les spectroscopies infra-rouge et rmn#2#9si et #1#7o du solide, la diffusion des rayons-x aux petits angles, l'analyse thermique differentielle ces materiaux sont constitues de nodules hydrophiles d'oxopolymeres de zirconium, de rayon de 5 nm environ et distants de moins de 10 nm, dans des chaines hydrophobes de polydimethylsiloxane. L'interface entre les deux composantes est complexe, gouvernee par des interactions faibles, des liaisons hydrogene et des liaisons fortes si-o-zr. Les traitements thermiques jusqu'a 200c se traduisent par la perte d'especes siliciees et des alcools residuels. Dans le cas des materiaux synthetises a partir des taux d'alcoxydes de zirconium les plus eleves (jusqu'a un rapport zirconium sur silicium de un), la presence d'eau et de groupements silanol a l'interface siloxane-oxyde permet lors des recuits la formation de liaisons si-o-zr. L'absorption et de la fluorescence de la tetraphenylporphyrine et des tetraarylporphyrines substituees par les groupements hydroxy, carboxy, amino ou r'si(oet)#3 (r' est un groupement organique) ont en particulier ete etudiees. Cela a permis de mettre en evidence des interactions specifiques entre ces colorants et les atomes de metal de transition aussi bien en solution qu'au sein des matrices : complexation, solvolyse, interaction de type acide - base de lewis l'emission des ions neodyme peut etre observee dans ces materiaux hybrides elabores a temperature ambiante en raison de l'hydrophobicite des domaines siloxane. Les problemes lies a l'agregation de la terre rare au sein des materiaux sont discutes. Les reorganisations importantes des especes avant le sechage complet sont probablement une des causes principales de cette agregation. Des essais de transfert d'energie entre la terre rare et des porphyrines sont decrits.
OPTIMIZATION OF EMERGENCY CARE FOR ACUTE CONONARY SYNDROME AND ITS INFLUENCE ON PROGNOSIS OF THE PATIENTS (2010)

Objective To evaluate the influence of optimized emergency care (OEC) on prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods In March 2008—March 2010, 258 patients with ACS were admitted to the two branches of our hospital, who were divided into two groups: conventional emergency care (group A, 112 cases) and OEC (group B, 146 cases) based on the branch hospital in which the patients stayed. A comparison was made between the two groups in terms of the time to start rescue, the time-starting of coronary reperfusion, the time between the attack and reperfusion, average hospital stay, therapeutic success rate, and mortality, as well as the shortcomings, quality of nursing and patients’ satisfaction. Results The differences between the two groups in terms of the above items were significant (t=1.98-3.04,P0.05) and (χ2=4.51-6.11;Uc=3.21,2.17;P0.05), respectively. Conclusion Optimized emergency care flow-sheet can provide a shortcut and effective rescue and improve the prognosis of patients with ACS.
Production of oriented nitrogen-vacancy color centers in synthetic diamond (2012)

The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (${\mathrm{NV}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$) center in diamond is an attractive candidate for applications that range from magnetometry to quantum information processing. Here we show that only a fraction of the nitrogen (typically $&lt;0.5$%) incorporated during homoepitaxial diamond growth by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is in the form of undecorated ${\mathrm{NV}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ centers. Furthermore, studies on CVD diamond grown on $(110)$-oriented substrates show a near 100% preferential orientation of NV centers along only the $[111]$ and $[\overline{1}\overline{1}1]$ directions, rather than the four possible orientations. The results indicate that NV centers grow in as units, as the diamond is deposited, rather than by migration and association of their components. The NV unit of the ${\mathrm{NVH}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ is similarly preferentially oriented, but it is not possible to determine whether this defect was formed by H capture at a preferentially aligned NV center or as a complete unit. Reducing the number of NV orientations from four orientations to two orientations should lead to increased optically detected magnetic resonance contrast and thus improved magnetic sensitivity in ensemble-based magnetometry.
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and vaccenic acid (VA) have no effect on blood pressure and isobar arterial elasticity in healthy young men (2006)

The objective was to examine the effect on blood pressure and isobar arterial elasticity (AEI) as a measure of arterial health of a commercial mixture of CLA and of milk fat produced to have a high content of VA. 60 healthy young men participated in this double‐blinded, randomized, 5 wk parallel intervention study. The participants substituted 115g of their daily fat intake with fat from one of three test diets: DCLA‐mix: rich in CLA (4.7g/d of c9,t11‐ and t10,c12‐CLA isomers in equal amounts), DVaccenic: rich in VA (4.1g/d), or DControl: a control diet with a low content of VA and CLA. Blood pressure and AEI (measured by an oscillometric method) was measured before and after the intervention period. There was a tendency to a higher systolic blood pressure after DCLA‐mix compared to DControl (P=0.07), but no difference in the effect of the test diets on diastolic blood pressure (P=0.37) or pulse pressure (P=0.80). There was no difference in isobar arterial compliance (P=0.52), distensibility (P=0.71), or volume (P=0.52). In conclusion, diets rich in milk fat and either CLA or VA have no adverse effect on blood pressure or AEI in healthy young men compared to a control diet.

Next generation flow for minimally-invasive blood characterization of MGUS and multiple myeloma at diagnosis based on circulating tumor plasma cells (CTPC) (2018)

Here, we investigated for the first time the frequency and number of circulating tumor plasma cells (CTPC) in peripheral blood (PB) of newly diagnosed patients with localized and systemic plasma cell neoplasms (PCN) using next-generation flow cytometry (NGF) and correlated our findings with the distinct diagnostic and prognostic categories of the disease. Overall, 508 samples from 264 newly diagnosed PCN patients, were studied. CTPC were detected in PB of all active multiple myeloma (MM; 100%), and smoldering MM (SMM) patients (100%), and in more than half (59%) monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) cases (p <0.0001); in contrast, CTPC were present in a small fraction of solitary plasmacytoma patients (18%). Higher numbers of CTPC in PB were associated with higher levels of BM infiltration and more adverse prognostic features, together with shorter time to progression from MGUS to MM (p <0.0001) and a shorter survival in MM patients with active disease requiring treatment (p ≤ 0.03). In summary, the presence of CTPC in PB as assessed by NGF at diagnosis, emerges as a hallmark of disseminated PCN, higher numbers of PB CTPC being strongly associated with a malignant disease behavior and a poorer outcome of both MGUS and MM.
Microbial Factor-Mediated Development in a Host-Bacterial Mutualism (2004)

Tracheal cytotoxin (TCT), a fragment of the bacterial surface molecule peptidoglycan (PGN), is the factor responsible for the extensive tissue damage characteristic of whooping cough and gonorrhea infections. Here, we report that Vibrio fischeri also releases TCT, which acts in synergy with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to trigger tissue development in its mutualistic symbiosis with the squid Euprymna scolopes. As components of PGN and LPS have commonly been linked with pathogenesis in animals, these findings demonstrate that host interpretation of these bacterial signal molecules is context dependent. Therefore, such differences in interpretation can lead to either inflammation and disease or to the establishment of a mutually beneficial animal-microbe association.
15. OCCUPATIONAL OUTCOME OF PATIENTS WITH ROTATOR CUFF TEARS CAUSED BY A WORK ACCIDENT: ON 262 OPERATED SHOULDERS (2011)

Purpose of the study: Many rotator cuff tears occur in the context of a work accident or an occupational disease (schedule 57-A in the French occupational disease nomenclature). This context is a negative factor for outcome although diverse opinions are expressed in the literature. We wanted to study the occupational outcome of operated patients after rotator cuff repairs and to determine what factors affect this outcome.

Material and method: From 2000 to 2005, 1155 patients underwent rotator cuff repair performed by the same operator. The context was an occupational context (schedule 57-A) in one quarter of these patients (n=290, 25.1%). Among these, 87.6% (n=254) responded to a mail questionnaire. In all 262 shoulders were included in this series (8 bilateral cases). Male gender predominated (72%) and 69% of the tears were in the right shoulder. Mean patient age was 50.53±6.4 years. In this series, 67% of the tears were related to a work accident and 33% to an occupational disease. The patients were salaried workers (75.2%), independent craftsmen (12.6%), and civil servants (11.8%). The occupational category was heavy manual labour (68.3%), light manual labour (25.5%), non manual occupation (6.1%). The injury involved one tendon in 64.1%, two tendons in 28.2% and three tendons in 7.6%. Classical open repair was performed for 70.6%), mini-open repair for 9.2%, and arthroscopic repair for 20.2%.

Results: Patients resumed their occupational activity in 59.64% of the cases (mean age 48±0.8 years); 40.45% did not resume their occupational activity (mean age 54±5.3 years). Excepting cases of retirement or interruption related to another medical condition, the shoulder was the reason for not resuming work in 16% of patients. Young age (p=0.0005) and type of surgery (open procedure p=0.0004) were factors favouring resumption of occupational activity while gender, occupational category and type of injury had no effect. The duration of sick leave (full time) depended on the occupational category (p=0.004) and somewhat on gender, age, occupational situation, work accident or occupational disease, and type of surgery/

Conclusion: Work accidents or occupational disease were not synonymous with failure of rotator cuff repair. Age was the leading prognostic factor.
A Vertically Integrated VLSI Design Environment (1983)

A VLSI design system called VIVID is the heart of a newly developed, vertically integrated design environment. This environment provides support for all phases of design from high-level system specification through on-site fabrication to construction of prototype systems. Key features already implemented include: the use of a circuit description language at the level of a silicon assembler; a fast, highly interactive combination floor planner and layout editor; fast interactive timing simulation; and layout made free from design-rule constraints by the use of virtual-grid compaction. Functional specification and verification, automated routing, standard cell layout, and semi-automated layout from schematics are being built upon the foundation formed by VIVID.
Biotechnological Production of Odor-Active Methyl-Branched Aldehydes by a Novel α-Dioxygenase from Crocosphaera subtropica (2020)

As a result of their pleasant odor qualities and low odor thresholds, iso- and anteiso-fatty aldehydes represent promising candidates for applications in flavoring preparations. A novel cyanobacterial α-dioxygenase from <i>Crocosphaera subtropica</i> was heterologously expressed in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and applied for the biotechnological production of C<sub>12</sub>-C<sub>15</sub> branched-chain fatty aldehydes. The enzyme has a sequence identity of less than 40% to well-investigated α-dioxygenase from rice. Contrary to the latter, it efficiently transformed short-chained fatty acids. The kinetic parameters of α-dioxygenase toward unbranched and iso-branched-chain substrates were studied by means of an oxygen-depletion assay. The transformation products (C<sub>12</sub>-C<sub>15</sub> iso- and anteiso-aldehydes) were extensively characterized, including their sensory properties. The aldehydes exhibited green-soapy, sweety odors with partial citrus-like, metallic, peppery, and savory-tallowy nuances. Moreover, the two C<sub>14</sub> isomers showed particularly low odor threshold values of 0.2 and 0.3 ng/L in air as determined by means of gas chromatography-olfactometry.
Self-calibrating wide color gamut high dynamic range display (2007)

High Dynamic Range displays offer higher brightness, higher contrast, better color reproduction and lower power consumption compared to conventional displays available today. In addition to these benefits, it is possible to leverage the unique design of HDR displays to overcome many of the calibration and lifetime degradation problems of liquid crystal displays, especially those using light emitting diodes. This paper describes a combination of sensor mechanisms and algorithms that reduce luminance and color variation for both HDR and conventional displays even with the use of highly variable light elements.
Femoral attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament (2005)

Endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most popular orthopaedic procedures. Correct tunnel positioning is a prerequisite to success. Current surgical techniques are unable to duplicate the complex anatomy and function of the native ACL. Surgery mainly aims at restoring anteroposterior laxity. The ACL is not isometric and only a few fibers are nearly isometric over the full range of motion. However, a nearly isometric behaviour of the ACL graft is desirable. Isometry is mainly influenced by femoral attachment; thus the femoral tunnel position has a greater effect than the tibial on graft length changes. The purpose of this article is to describe the anatomy of the femoral ACL insertion and to discuss the surgical techniques used to replicate it.

Combining Classifiers for word sense disambiguation (2002)

Classifier combination is an effective and broadly useful method of improving system performance. This article investigates in depth a large number of both well-established and novel classifier combination approaches for the word sense disambiguation task, studied over a diverse classifier pool which includes feature-enhanced Naïve Bayes, Cosine, Decision List, Transformation-based Learning and MMVC classifiers. Each classifier has access to the same rich feature space, comprised of distance weighted bag-of-lemmas, local ngram context and specific syntactic relations, such as Verb-Object and Noun-Modifier. This study examines several key issues in system combination for the word sense disambiguation task, ranging from algorithmic structure to parameter estimation. Experiments using the standard S ENSEVAL 2 lexical-sample data sets in four languages (English, Spanish, Swedish and Basque) demonstrate that the combination system obtains a significantly lower error rate when compared with other systems participating in the S ENSEVAL 2 exercise, yielding state-of-the-art performance on these data sets.
