Divinatorins A−C, New Neoclerodane Diterpenoids from the Controlled Sage Salvia divinorum (2003)

Three new neoclerodane diterpenoids, divinatorins A-C (7-9), have been isolated from the leaves of Salvia divinorum. The compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods as derivatives of the antibiotic (-)-hardwickiic acid (10), which was also isolated, along with four other known terpenoids. Neither the crude extract nor 7-9 displayed antimicrobial activity.

Software framework for integration of method of moments kernels with the Adaptive Cross Approximation (ACA) algorithm (2010)

This paper presents a software framework that allows the integration of efficient fast iterative and direct solvers with various Method of moment (MoM) engines. The idea leads to a future open-source software project to integrate modules developed by different University groups with expertise either in accurate computation of Integral Equations Green's functions or in developing Fast Solvers for efficient solution of the resulting linear systems. The integrated software will allow the successful analysis of very complex antenna configurations that cannot be handled yet by commercial packages.

Spatial Distortions Produced by Purely Dichoptic-Based Visual Motion (2009)

It is known that local, monocular motion (short-range motion) can produce local distortions of visual space. We wanted to know if local monocular motion was both sufficient and necessary for producing motion-based spatial distortions. We used a previously reported dichoptic motion stimulus in which the directional motion signal is not present in either eye's input but is only present after binocular combination. We show that such a stimulus can also induce perceived changes in spatial position. This suggests that local, monocular motion while being sufficient is not necessary for the production of motion-based illusions. It suggests that one source of motion signals responsible for this illusion is from binocular motion mechanisms.
Deep Single-Image Portrait Relighting (2019)

Conventional physically-based methods for relighting portrait images need to solve an inverse rendering problem, estimating face geometry, reflectance and lighting. However, the inaccurate estimation of face components can cause strong artifacts in relighting, leading to unsatisfactory results. In this work, we apply a physically-based portrait relighting method to generate a large scale, high quality, “in the wild” portrait relighting dataset (DPR). A deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is then trained using this dataset to generate a relit portrait image by using a source image and a target lighting as input. The training procedure regularizes the generated results, removing the artifacts caused by physically-based relighting methods. A GAN loss is further applied to improve the quality of the relit portrait image. Our trained network can relight portrait images with resolutions as high as 1024 × 1024. We evaluate the proposed method on the proposed DPR datset, Flickr portrait dataset and Multi-PIE dataset both qualitatively and quantitatively. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art results. Please refer to https://zhhoper.github.io/dpr.html for dataset and code.
A Study on Machining of Uncut Volume at the Boundary Region of Curved Surfaces (2010)

It is presented in this study a new efficient intelligent machining strategy, which can be used to remove the uncut volume at the boundary region of curved surfaces caused by cutter interference. The geometric form definitions and recognition of topological features of the surface triangulation mesh are used to generate cutter paths along successive and interconnected steepest pathways, that minimize the cusp height left after flat end milling. In order to machine the uncut volume gradually, the z-map cutter centers are adjusted to avoid cutter interference for the 6 kinds of avoidance types. And then, the generative subsequent paths are sequenced to determine the second step cutter paths for the next uncut volume. For the 2 kinds of test models with convex and concave surface region, the implemented software algorithm is evaluated by investigating the residual swelling of uncut volume for each machining step.
Improvement of Pattern and Position Accuracies by Multiple Electron Beam Writing for X-Ray Mask Fabrication (1993)

To study the improvement of position and line-width accuracies of resist patterns for X-ray masks, we tried to examine multiple writing with an electron beam (EB) exposure system. First, the uncertainty of the position measurement is checked and reduced to 0.03 µm (3σ) by the short-length measurement method. Then, it is found that by increasing the number of writing times from one to four, the overlay accuracy is improved from 0.04 µm to 0.02 µm (3σ) and the line-width of the pattern is exactly controlled. These results show that sub-quarter-micron patterns are formed by the multiple-writing method with the present EB machine.

An enriched polyphenolic extract obtained from the by-product of Rosa damascena hydrodistillation activates antioxidant and proteostatic modules (2021)

Our findings indicate that the enriched polyphenolic extract obtained from the residue of R. damascena hydrodistillation activates cytoprotective cellular modules that, likely, contribute to its potential anti-aging properties.
Nietzschean types in The Brothers Karamazov : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English at Massey University, New Zealand (2019)

Nietzsche and Dostoevsky were contemporaries, and Nietzsche especially was known &#13;\nto admire Dostoevsky’s work. Both authors were interested in the study of the basis for &#13;\nhuman morality, and the search for a redirection of human morality; one in which the &#13;\nproblems they saw with the current understanding of acceptable behaviour according to &#13;\nlaws, religion and might is right, could be melded in with their own beliefs and struggles &#13;\nwith their own mortality and morality. &#13;\n&#13;\n &#13;\n&#13;\nAlthough Nietzsche’s collection of essays ​The Genealogy of Morals,​ (1887) was &#13;\nwritten 7 years after Dostoevsky’s ​The Brothers Karamazov ​(1880), it is interesting to &#13;\nnote that the main character types that Nietzsche believed created hierarchies that &#13;\ndeveloped and sustained the morality of his time, appear in the form of the main &#13;\ncharacters in ​The Brothers Karamazov​. &#13;\n&#13;\n &#13;\n&#13;\nThis thesis will be looking at the ​The Brothers Karamazov​ through the different &#13;\ncharacter ‘types’ and the resulting psychomachia of the three legitimate brothers, the &#13;\nolder brothers Dmitri and Ivan, and especially that of Alyosha, the youngest brother. &#13;\nThe thesis will focus on both elder brothers’ evolution of thought and action through the &#13;\nprogress of the novel, and, importantly, on each brothers’ interactions with Alyosha and &#13;\nthe turbulent state of mind they regularly leave their younger sibling in. &#13;\nThe final chapter of the thesis will concentrate on Alyosha and his journey throughout &#13;\nthe novel, from his parting of ways with Zosima to his talk with the young boys by the &#13;\nstone. This journey, I believe, will be the one that extracts the idea of Dostoevsky’s true &#13;\nmorality seen in the novel.
Contributions of biogenic material to the atmospheric ice-nucleating particle population in North Western Europe (2018)

A minute fraction of atmospheric particles exert a disproportionate effect on the phase of mixed-phase clouds by acting as ice-nucleating particles (INPs). To understand the effects of these particles on weather and climate, both now and into the future, we must first develop a quantitative understanding of the major INP sources worldwide. Previous work has demonstrated that aerosols such as desert dusts are globally important INPs, but the role of biogenic INPs is unclear, with conflicting evidence for their importance. Here, we show that at a temperate site all INPs active above -18 °C at concentrations >0.1 L<sup>-1</sup> are destroyed on heating, consistent with these INPs being of biological origin. Furthermore, we show that a global model of desert dust INPs dramatically underestimates the measured INP concentrations, but is consistent with the thermally-stable component. Notably, the heat sensitive INPs are active at temperatures where shallow cloud layers in Northern Europe are frequently observed to glaciate. Hence, we suggest that biogenic material is important for primary ice production in this region. The prevalence of heat sensitive, most likely biogenic, INPs in this region highlights that, as a community, we need to quantify the sources and transport of these particles as well as determine their atmospheric abundance across the globe and at cloud altitudes.
Reaction of CO2 With Alcohols to Linear-, Cyclic-, and Poly-Carbonates Using CeO2-Based Catalysts (2020)

Reaction of CO2 with alcohols to organic carbonates is one of non-reductive CO2 conversion methods. The catalysts are needed for this reaction, at the same time, effective H2O removal methods are also needed because the yield of organic carbonates is strongly limited by the equilibrium. The development of heterogeneous catalysts for the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from CO2 and methanol, which is a model and typical reaction, is described. This is because heterogeneous catalysts are more suitable to the practical process than homogeneous catalysts from the viewpoint of the separation of catalysts from the products and the reusability of the catalysts. One of the reported heterogeneous catalysts is CeO2, and it has been also reported that the combination of dimethyl carbonate synthesis from CO2 and methanol with the hydration of nitriles such as 2-cyanopyridine, where both reactions are catalyzed by CeO2, enabled high yield of the carbonate. In addition, the combination of CeO2 catalyst + nitriles can be applied to the synthesis of a variety of linear-, cyclic (five- and six-membered ring)-, and poly-carbonates from CO2 and corresponding alcohols.
Expression d’interleukine 6 après infection par <em>Cowdria ruminantium</em> de cellules endothéliales de cerveau bovin (1993)

Les interleukines sont des médiateurs protéiques solubles qui peuvent déclencher une activation cellulaire. D’abord impliquée dans l’activation des cellules T dans la production d’immunoglobulines par les cellules B, l’interleukine 6 (IL6) provoque aussi l’induction de protéines de la phase aiguë par les hépatocytes. Ainsi, l’IL6 est impliquée dans les processus inflammatoires qui sont en grande partie responsables de la pathogénie de la cowdriose. Originellement produit par des macrophages et des cellules endothéliales activées, l’IL6 agit comme un stimulant de la réponse immunitaire. Néanmoins, quand elle est produite constamment et en grandes quantités, l’IL6 provoque des réactions inflammatoires non contrôlées. Afin de tester si l’IL6 est impliquée dans la cowdriose, une culture primaire de cellules endothéliales de cerveau bovin (BBEC) a été infectée in vitro par C. ruminantium. Les cellules infectées ont été récoltées tous les jours et ce jusqu’au sixième jour où toutes les cellules sont lysées. La même expérience a été effectuée sur des BBEC qui ont été simultanément infectées et traitées avec de l’INFγ. De l’ARN a été purifié à partir de ces cellules et après électrophorèse sur gel d’agarose transféré sur un filtre de nylon. Ce filtre a été sondé avec un ADNc radiomarqué codant pour l’IL6 bovine. Des signaux à 1 kb ont été détectés seulement sur les ARN de cellules après le quatrième jour de l’infection, que celles-ci aient été traitées ou non par l’INFγ. Tous les autres échantillons, incluant l’ARN de cellules qui n’ont pas été infectées mais traitées à l’INFγ, se sont révélés négatifs pour l’expression d’IL6. Ainsi, après infection par C. ruminantium, l’expression d’IL6 est induite peu avant que l’effet cytopathogène n’apparaisse. A l’heure actuelle, des surnageants de milieu de culture de ces cellules sont testés pour leur capacité à induire des réponses prolifératives des cellules T.
Novel TIGR/MYOC mutations in families with juvenile onset primary open angle glaucoma. (1998)

Mutations in the trabecular meshwork induced glucocorticoid response protein (TIGR) or myocilin (MYOC) has recently been shown to cause juvenile onset primary open angle glaucoma (JOAG). In this study, we identified two new mutations (Asp380Ala and Ser502Pro) in two British families and another (Pro370Leu) in a French-Canadian family. These mutations were not present in a total of 106 normal chromosomes. In another Turkish family with JOAG, we also detected a sequence variant that was proven to be an amino acid polymorphism (Arg76Lys). No other sequence changes were found in the entire coding region and splice junctions of the TIGR/MYOC gene in this family. However, it is still possible that mutations either in the TIGR promoter or in another neighbouring gene could cause glaucoma in this JOAG family. Our results confirm the role of the TIGR/MYOC gene in the aetiology of the JOAG phenotype.

Electrochemical disposal of hydrogen sulfide. Final report, August 31, 1977-September 30, 1982 (1982)

The electrolysis of hydrogen sulfide to elemental hydrogen and sulfur was investigated as a means for hydrogen sulfide disposal. Both the electrolysis of liquid hydrogen sulfide and the electrolysis of aqueous hydrogen sulfide solutions were investigated. The first reported electrolysis of liquid hydrogen sulfide was accomplished. However, the overpotential arising from ohmic losses in the hydrogen sulfide are extremely high. Unless better supporting electrolytes can be found, this method does not appear to be a practical means for hydrogen sulfide disposal. The electrochemical oxidation of aqueous hydrogen sulfide solutions was investigated and found to be a more promising approach. It was found that a sulfur film did not form on the anode in either a cell using a continuous flow of electrolyte or in a cell employing a fluidized bed anode. In both types of electrolysis the products were found to be elemental hydrogen and elemental sulfur. This is a desirable result because these products have significant economic value and, furthermore, sulfur is very easily stored. Further work should be directed towards finding much better electrolytes for use with liquid hydrogen sulfide and towards an experimental and economic study of the use of fluidized bed anodes for the electrolysis of more » aqueous hydrogen sulfide solutions. 10 references, 21 figures. « less
Keggin-Type Heteropolyacid for Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclohexene Oxide: Molecular Weight Control (2015)

Polymerization of 1,2-cyclohexene oxide (CHO) in dichloromethane was catalyzed by 12-tungstophosphoric acid (H 3 PW 12 O 40 ·13H 2 O) as a super solid acid. The effect of polymerization parameters such as reaction time, temperature, and catalyst amount was investigated. The effect of acetic anhydride as a ring-opening agent was also investigated. The resulting poly(1,2-cyclohexene oxide) (PCHO) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 HNMR), gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It has been found that the PCHO prepared over H 3 PW 12 O 40 ·13H 2 O has a stereoregularity higher than that prepared over clay and Aluminium alkoxide catalysts.

The yield and the molecular weight of the polymer depend strongly on the reaction conditions. Molecular weights can be readily controlled by changing reaction temperature, reaction time, and catalyst amount. Contrary to most polymerization reactions, the molecular weight increases with the temperature increase. Addition of acetic anhydride to the reaction medium increased the yield threefold.
2-Methoxyestradiol TPGS Micelles Attenuate Cyclosporine A-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats through Inhibition of TGF-β1 and p-ERK1/2 Axis (2022)

The immunosuppressant cyclosporine A (CSA) has been linked to serious renal toxic effects. Although 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME) possesses a wide range of pharmacological abilities, it suffers poor bioavailability after oral administration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of 2ME loaded D-ɑ-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) micelles to prevent CSA-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. A 2ME-TPGS was prepared and showed particle size of 44.3 ± 3.5 nm with good entrapment efficiency and spherical structures. Male Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups, namely: Control, Vehicle, CSA, CSA + 2ME-Raw, and CSA + 2ME-Nano. CSA was injected daily at a SC dose of 20 mg/kg. Both 2ME-Raw and 2ME-Nano were given daily at oral doses of 5 mg/kg. Treatments continued for three successive weeks. 2ME-TPGS exerted significant protective effects against CSA nephrotoxicity. This was evidenced in ameliorating deterioration of renal functions, attenuation of pathological changes in kidney tissues, exerting significant anti-fibrotic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects together with significant anti-apoptotic effects. Western blot analyses showed both 2ME-Raw and 2ME-Nano significantly inhibited protein expression of TGF-β1 and phospho-ERK (p-ERK). It was observed that 2ME-TPGS, in almost all experiments, exerted superior protective effects as compared with 2ME-Raw. In conclusion, 2ME loaded in a TPGS nanocarrier possesses significant protective activities against CSA-induced kidney injury in rats. This is attributable to 2ME anti-fibrotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic activities which are mediated at least partly by inhibition of TGF-β1/p-ERK axis.
Room-temperature carrier transport in high-performance short-channel Silicon nanowire MOSFETs (2012)

Room-temperature carrier transport in Si nanowire (NW) MOSFETs with gate lengths and diameters down to 25 and 8 nm, respectively, is analyzed. It is shown that in Si NWs, holes exhibit channel injection and thermal velocities, as high as the highest obtained for uniaxially strained planar Si-channel electrons, likely due to combination of strain and confinement.
Ex Vivo Gene Therapy for Skeletal Regeneration in Cranial Defects Compromised by Postoperative Radiotherapy (2003)

Because radiation remains a common postoperative treatment for head and neck cancers, it is critical to determine whether new bone-regenerative approaches are effective for healing craniofacial defects challenged by therapeutic doses of radiation. The objective of this study was to determine whether the deleterious effects of radiotherapy could be overcome by ex vivo gene therapy to heal craniofacial defects. Rat calvarial critical-sized defects were treated with either an inlay calvarial bone graft or syngeneic dermal fibroblasts transduced ex vivo with an adenovirus engineered to express bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7), a morphogen known to stimulate bone formation. Two weeks postoperatively, either no radiation or a single 12-Gy radiation dose was delivered to the operated area and the tissue was harvested 4 weeks later. None of the inlay bone grafts healed at the wound margins of either the radiated or nonradiated sites. In contrast, bone was successfully regenerated when using an ex vivo gene therapy approach. More bone formed in the nonradiated group as determined by the percentage of defect surface covered (87 +/- 4.1 versus 65 +/- 4.7%; p = 0.003) and percentage of defect area filled by new bone (60 +/- 5.9 versus 32 +/- 2.7%; p = 0.002). Although the effects of radiation on the wound were not completely overcome by the gene therapy approach, bone regeneration was still successful despite the radiation sensitivity of the fibroblasts. These results indicate that BMP-7 ex vivo gene therapy is capable of successfully regenerating bone in rat calvarial defects even after a therapeutic dose of radiation. This approach may represent a new strategy for regenerating skeletal elements lost due to head and neck cancer.
