EXCHANGE OF ATMOSPHERE IN CARGO OIL TANKS BY USING THE MIXING METHOD (1977)

This paper contains the results of an investigation into atmosphere exchange of cargo tanks by use of the mixing method. The investigation show that if certain requirements regarding tank inlet dimensions and arrangement are met the exchange process can, for practical use, be described with sufficient accuracy assuming the tank to be an ideal mixing chamber. It was found that the deviations from the theoretical process caused by inner tank structures and tank geometry were too small to be of practical importance. However, the investigations showed that a basic requirement for sufficient mixing is that the inlet jet penetrates down to the tank bottom.

PC Cell-Derived Growth Factor Mediates Tamoxifen Resistance and Promotes Tumor Growth of Human Breast Cancer Cells (2004)

PC cell-derived growth factor, also known as progranulin, is an M(r) 88,000 growth factor (referred as PCDGF/GP88) overexpressed in human breast cancer. Antisense inhibition of PCDGF/GP88 expression in MDA-MB-468 cells inhibited tumor formation in nude mice. In estrogen receptor-positive cells, PCDGF/GP88 was expressed in response to estradiol and shown to mediate its mitogenic effect. Pathologic studies indicated that PCDGF/GP88 was expressed in 80% of invasive ductal carcinomas in correlation with parameters of poor prognosis. In the present article, the relationship between PCDGF/GP88 expression and tamoxifen resistance was examined in MCF-7 cells. PCDGF/GP88 overexpression rendered MCF-7 cells able to proliferate in the absence of estrogen and in the presence of tamoxifen. The PCDGF/GP88-overexpressing cells formed tumors in ovariectomized nude mice in the absence of estradiol and in its presence, in contrast to MCF-7 cells. Tumor growth of the overexpressing cells was increased significantly when the mice were treated with tamoxifen. PCDGF/GP88 blocked tamoxifen-induced apoptosis by preventing down-regulation of bcl-2 expression and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage. In addition, PCDGF/GP88-overexpressing cells presented higher level of the angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-1 than MCF-7 control cells. Tamoxifen treatment additionally increased the level of vascular endothelial growth factor. These studies suggest that PCDGF/GP88 plays a critical role in breast cancer tumorigenesis and in the transition to estrogen independence and tamoxifen resistance, a hallmark of poor prognosis. On the basis of the in vivo studies, it is postulated that tamoxifen treatment of patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast tumors overexpressing PCDGF/GP88 could have adverse clinical consequences.
Quantitative analysis of corneal stromal riboflavin concentration without epithelial removal (2018)

The system used in Group 1 produced corneal riboflavin concentrations that were theoretically adequate for effective transepithelial CXL (≥15 μg/g), while the system in Group 2 did not. Slitlamp grading successfully estimated the corneal riboflavin concentration and can be used to ensure an adequate concentration of riboflavin in the cornea for transepithelial CXL.
Electron-phonon coupling between silicon vacancy centers and optomechanical crystals in diamond (2019)

We investigate diamond optomechanical crystals (OMCs) with implanted silicon vacancy (SiV) centers at cryogenic temperatures (T ~ 5K). Large strain fields per phonon in OMC mechanical modes, coupled with high SiV strain susceptibility, enables high electron- phonon coupling between SiV-OMC with cooperativity ~0.5 at 5K.

Is quality of diet associated with the microvasculature? An analysis of diet quality and retinal vascular calibre in older adults (2013)

It is unknown whether diet quality is associated with microvascular structure. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between diet quality, reflecting adherence to dietary guidelines, with retinal microvascular calibre in older adults. The dietary data of 2720 Blue Mountains Eye Study participants, aged 50+ years, were collected using a semi-quantitative FFQ. A modified version of the Healthy Eating Index for Australians was developed to determine total diet scores (TDS). Fundus photographs were taken and retinal vascular calibre measured using computer-assisted techniques and summarised. After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, mean arterial blood pressure, smoking, serum glucose, leucocyte count and history of diagnosed stroke or CHD, persons with higher TDS had healthier retinal vessels cross-sectionally, with wider retinal arteriolar calibre (by approximately 3 μm, comparing the highest with the lowest quartile of TDS, Ptrend = 0·0001) and narrower retinal venular calibre (by approximately 2·5 μm; Ptrend = 0·02). In younger subjects aged ≤65 years, increasing TDS (lowest to the highest quartile) was associated with healthier retinal vessels: approximately 4·4 μm wider retinal arteriolar (Ptrend < 0·0001) and approximately 2·3 μm narrower venular calibre (Ptrend = 0·03). After multivariable adjustment, however, baseline TDS were not associated with retinal arteriolar (Ptrend = 0·89) or venular calibre (Ptrend = 0·25), 5 years later. Also, baseline TDS were not associated with the 5-year change in retinal arteriolar (β = 0·14; P=0·29) or venular calibre (β = - 0·26; P=0·07). Greater compliance with published dietary guidelines (higher diet quality) was cross-sectionally associated with wider retinal arterioles and narrower venules, indicating better retinal microvascular health.
Engineering Property Prediction Tools for Tailored Polymer Composite Structures (FY06 Annual Report) (2006)

One of the main advantages of building robots with size and motor capabilities close to those of humans, such as iCub, lies in the fact that they can potentially take advantage of a world populated with tools and devices designed by and for humans. However, in order to be able to do proper use of the tools around them, robots need to be able to <i>incorporate</i> these tools, that is, to build a representation of the tool's geometry, reach and pose with respect to the robot. The present paper tackles this argument by presenting a repository which implements a series of interconnected methods that enable autonomous, fast, and reliable tool incorporation on the iCub platform.
Cardiac Catheterization and Postoperative Acute Kidney Failure in Congenital Heart Pediatric Patients (2013)

In Brief BACKGROUND: Acute renal failure (ARF) is a severe complication of cardiac operations in pediatric patients. Angiography with the exposure to contrast media is a risk factor for ARF. In the present study, we explored the association between timing of angiography, dose of contrast media, and the incidence of ARF after cardiac operations in pediatric patients. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Angiographic data and other covariates were collected in 277 patients aged ≤12 years receiving angiography and cardiac operations during the same hospital stay. Renal outcome was assessed according to the pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of function, End stage score (pRIFLE). RESULTS: One hundred seventy-seven (64%) patients suffered some degree of postoperative renal dysfunction, and 55 (20%) had ARF (pRIFLE stage Failure). Patients with ARF received a significantly (P < 0.001) larger dose of iodine contrast media (4.6 ± 2.6 g/kg) with respect to the other patients (2.8 ± 2.2 g/kg), with a relative risk increase for ARF of 31% per each incremental iodine dose of 1 g/kg at the univariate analysis. A multivariable risk model demonstrated that the risk for ARF is 20 times higher in patients aged younger than 2 years and 3 times higher in case of postoperative low cardiac output. Within this model, the iodine dose on angiography is confirmed as an independent risk factor for ARF, with a relative risk increase for ARF of 16% per each incremental iodine dose of 1 g/kg. CONCLUSIONS: Angiography before cardiac surgery is an important risk factor for ARF in pediatric patients. Being a modifiable risk factor, the contrast media dose should be limited to the lowest possible value, avoiding large doses of iodine which, together with other factors (age and postoperative low cardiac output), concur in the determinism of postoperative ARF.

Preparation of CuInS2 films by sulfurization of Cu-In-O films (1993)

CuInS2 thin films are prepared by using a newly developed two-stage process comprised of a first process by which Cu-In-O films are prepared from a Cu2In2O5 target by a pulsed laser deposition, and a second process by which the prepared Cu-In-O films are transformed into CuInS2 films by applying an annealing in a H2S gas. The characteristics of thus obtained CuInS2 films are determined by using an x-ray diffractometer, an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer, and a scanning electron microscope, in addition to a spectrophotometer. The CuInS2 film with chalcopyrite-type structure is obtained when it is annealed at a temperature higher than 400 °C. The effect of annealing temperature on its structural and optical properties is being analyzed.
Genetic Characterization of the CarotenoidBiosynthetic Pathway in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 andIsolation of a ColorlessMutant (2003)

Genomic searches were used to reconstruct the putative carotenoid biosynthesis pathway in the pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Four genes for putative phytoene desaturases were identified. A colorless mutant was obtained by transposon mutagenesis, and the insertion was shown to be in one of the putative phytoene desaturase genes. Mutations in the other three did not affect color. The tetracycline marker was removed from the original transposon mutant, resulting in a pigment-free strain with wild-type growth properties useful as a tool for future experiments.
Topology optimisation of slow light coupling to photonic crystal waveguides (2007)

The slow light coupling efficiency in photonic crystal waveguides is enhanced by using the topology optimisation method. As much as 5 dB improvement in transmission can be achieved in the proximity of the spectrum cutoff. Moreover, the resemblance of the resulting two optimised spectra from different initial configurations indicates the possible convergence of the optimisations.
SAMM50 acts with p62 in piecemeal basal- and OXPHOS-induced mitophagy of SAM and MICOS components (2021)

Mitophagy is the degradation of surplus or damaged mitochondria by autophagy. In addition to programmed and stress-induced mitophagy, basal mitophagy processes exert organelle quality control. Here, we show that the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM) complex protein SAMM50 interacts directly with ATG8 family proteins and p62/SQSTM1 to act as a receptor for a basal mitophagy of components of the SAM and mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS) complexes. SAMM50 regulates mitochondrial architecture by controlling formation and assembly of the MICOS complex decisive for normal cristae morphology and exerts quality control of MICOS components. To this end, SAMM50 recruits ATG8 family proteins through a canonical LIR motif and interacts with p62/SQSTM1 to mediate basal mitophagy of SAM and MICOS components. Upon metabolic switch to oxidative phosphorylation, SAMM50 and p62 cooperate to mediate efficient mitophagy.
Secure Division Protocol and Applications to Privacy-preserving Chi-squared Tests (2018)

We present a new secure integer division protocol with private divisor. Our protocol is based loosely on the Bogdanov et al. (Int. J. Inf. Secur.'12) protocol, which securely computes the classical Goldschmidt's division algorithm. While the Bogdanov et al. scheme was designed specifically to work only on a 3-out-of-3 secret sharing scheme, our scheme works on a 2-out-of-2 secret sharing scheme. This has an advantage since the latter setting is more widely used in the literature of secure computation, and our protocol can thus be used as an efficient building block in this setting. We implement our protocol in Python and provide its benchmark. As a main application of our division protocol, we implement a secure protocol for privacy-preserving chi-squared tests on genomic data. This demonstrates that the proposed protocol is suitable for the statistical analysis on sensitive data.
Bandwidth control in acoustically coupled AlN contour mode MEMS filters (2009)

This paper reports a novel method to acoustically couple higher order AlN contour mode resonators and engineer wide bandwidth filters by controlling the number of electrodes, the size of the overhang and the spacing between electrodes. By exciting a higher order resonance mode using multiple metal electrodes on one side of the device and picking up the generated signal on the other, the location of the response poles can be engineered to create a broader band, wider than previously achieved with similar AlN contour-mode devices. CAD-level parameters are experimentally shown to set the location of the poles and therefore the bandwidth.
Size Selection of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles and Their Magnetic Properties. (2002)

We propose two methods for the size selection at nanometer level based on manipulation of the surface interaction between particles. The control over the particle interaction has been achieved by modulating the interparticle distances through: (a) coating the nanometer size particles with anionic surfactants having different chain lengths, and (b) introducing polar solvents to suspensions in non-polar solvents dispersing nanometer size particles coated with sodium oleate. An effective size selection of nanometer size magnetite particles has been achieved using both of these methods and the results are presented here. Depending on the conditions, stable suspensions of nearly monodispersed magnetite nanoparticles less than 10 nm in diameter with a standard deviation below 0.2 were obtained from polydispersed powder less than 40nm in diameter and 0.6 in standard deviation. The size selection was confirmed by using the TEM measurements of separated fractions., The magnetic measurements of these size classified samples were carried out in zero field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) conditions. The relation between particle size and blocking temperature conformed to theoretical predictions and also confirmed the success of the selection methods. Furthermore, the field-cooled measurements of separated fractions suggested that the influence of surface spins to magnetic properties of the particle become considerable when the particle diameter is below 6nm.
Feasibility and analysis considerations of continuous community-based cough monitoring in low- and middle-income settings (2022)

Abstract Introduction Cough is a hallmark symptom of multiple respiratory conditions. Technological advances have made it possible to monitor cough using smartphone applications continuously and objectively. However, these technologies have not yet been evaluated for their feasibility in real-world research conditions. Methods We conducted 14-day continuous cough monitoring of presumptive TB patients enrolled as outpatients in a multi-center prospective tuberculosis diagnostics trial in Uganda, South Africa, Vietnam, the Philippines and India. Participants were given a smartphone with the Hyfe Research application installed, a carrier sling, and training on how to use both the phone and the cough application. We evaluated how often and how long participants recorded, and when coughs were detected. We also compared multiple cough frequency metrics for their performance in detecting changes in cough frequency. Results Of 693 participants who consented to continuous cough monitoring for 14 days, 568 (82.0%) completed at least one recording session successfully. Among these 568 participants, 421 (74.1%) recorded on at least 10 of the 14 days in the recording period for a median of 23.9 hours per day. We detected coughs in a diurnal pattern with a median of 1 cough per hour detected between 6am and 2pm local time and a median of 0 coughs for all other hours. We found median coughs per hour to be the cough frequency metric most robust to outlier values while still detecting changes in cough frequency during the recording period. Implementation challenges include the visibility of cough monitoring devices, nighttime recording and concurrent charging of devices. Conclusions Continuous cough monitoring using a smartphone application is feasible in low- and middle-income country settings.

Bandwidth allocation in ATM networks that guarantee multiple QOS requirements (2002)

Because almost all existing schemes for connection admission control (CAC) in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks ignore variances of quality of service (QOS) being received by individual connection types multiplexed on the same link, as well as differences in QOS required by those connection types, they are in danger of failing to satisfy some individual QOS requirements. A CAC scheme is proposed, based on allocating to each individual connection virtual bandwidths that are predetermined so that QOS for each connection type will be kept within its allowable limit.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Determination of reference values for glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, and insulin sensitivity tests in clinically normal cats (2001)

Lymphocyte-rich well-differentiated liposarcoma: report of nine cases. (1997)

Nine well-differentiated liposarcomas with foci simulating the appearance of malignant lymphoma and other lymphoid disorders are reported. Their clinical presentation and evolution were not significantly different from those of their conventional counterparts lacking a lymphoid infiltrate. Microscopically, these tumors were characterized by areas of ordinary well-differentiated liposarcoma, admixed with discrete nodules comprised of small germinal centers, and separated by an admixture of lymphocytes, spindled stromal cells, collagen, and blood vessels, in which highly atypical tumor cells were embedded. The differential diagnosis included Hodgkin's disease, Castleman's disease, and inflammatory pseudotumor. Immunohistochemical evaluation revealed a pre-dominance of T cells in the lymphocytic population. Molecular genetic studies revealed no evidence of clonal rearrangement of the T cell receptor gene, supporting the interpretation of these lymphocytes as reactive. Awareness of the existence of this variant of inflammatory liposarcoma should prevent its misinterpretation as a primary lymphoproliferative process.
