Storage, transportation, and atomization of CWF for residential applications (1991)

The properties and behavior with regard to handling, storage, and atomization in small-scale applications of different coal-water fuels (CWFs) prepared from different parent coals and various beneficiation techniques, were investigated. The CWFs that were prepared included Upper Elkhorn No. 3, Illinois No. 6, and Upper Wyodak coal cleaned by heavy media separation. Also, several CWFs were prepared with Upper Elkhorn No. 3 coal cleaned by heavy media separation with filtration, chemical cleaning, oil agglomeration, and froth flotation. Pressure drop measurements in tubes and viscometer measurements were used to construct rheograms of the seven CWFs that were prepared for shear rates up to 1000 1/s. Analysis of each CWF included proximate, ultimate and ash fusion temperatures. A fully automatic demonstration storage facility was designed and fabricated. The viscosity at higher shear rates (150,000 1/s) will be measured in a capillary viscometer to determine the viscosity at shear rate typically obtained with atomizers. The demonstration storage/handling facility will be tested. A cost analysis of a residential facility will be conducted. The seven CWFs will be burned in the residential combustor developed by Tecogen under contract DE-AC22-87PC79650. 41 figs., 12 tabs.

A unifying construction of orthonormal bases for system identification (1997)

This paper develops a general and very simple construction for complete orthonormal bases for system identification. This construction provides a unifying formulation of many previously studied orthonormal bases since the common FIR and recently popular Laguerre and two-parameter Kautz model structures are restrictive special cases of the construction presented here. However, in contrast to these special cases, the basis vectors in the unifying construction of this paper can have arbitrary placement of pole position according to the prior information the user wishes to inject. Results characterizing the completeness of the bases and the accuracy properties of models estimated using the bases are provided.
Differential energy requirements for platelet responses. A simultaneous study of aggregation, three secretory processes, arachidonate liberation, phosphatidylinositol breakdown and phosphatidate production (1982)

Previous studies have indicated different energy requirements for some platelet responses; these differences could, however, be due to inadequate methodology and differences in platelet preparation. The present study describes the effect of decreasing ATP availability on seven platelet responses measured in gel-filtered human platelets. The cells, prelabelled with 5-hydroxy[(3)H]tryptamine, [(3)H]- or [(14)C]adenine, [(32)P]P(i) or [(3)H]arachidonate, were incubated with antimycin A and 2-deoxy-d-glucose. Platelet responses induced by thrombin and collagen (secretion only), level of metabolic ATP and the adenylate energy charge (AEC) were determined at various times during incubation. Platelet aggregation was rapidly inhibited after a lag of 5-15 min and with 50% inhibition at AEC = 0.55-0.60. Secretion of 5-hydroxy[(14)C]tryptamine and ATP + ADP from dense granules and of fibrinogen and beta-thromboglobin from alpha-granules were inhibited in parallel, without a lag and with 50% inhibition at AEC = 0.65-0.70. The inhibition of secretion of platelet factor 4 from the alpha-granules followed another pattern with 50% inhibition at AEC = 0.70-0.80. Breakdown of [(3)H]-phosphatidylinositol, formation of [(3)H]- and [(32)P]-phosphatidate, liberation of [(3)H]arachidonate and secretion of acid hydrolases were inhibited in parallel and inhibition was present at the start of incubation with 50% inhibition at AEC = 0.80-0.87. These results suggest that the responses have different energy requirements, increasing in the order: aggregation < dense granule and alpha-granule secretion < acid hydrolase secretion, phosphatidylinositol breakdown, phosphatidate formation and arachidonate liberation. The powerful inhibition of phosphatidylinositol breakdown by metabolic inhibitors suggests that energy-requiring steps are involved in the activation of phospholipase C.
High-Throughput Data Analysis for Detecting and Identifying Differences between Samples in GC/MS-Based Metabolomic Analyses (2005)

In metabolomics, the objective is to identify differences in metabolite profiles between samples. A widely used tool in metabolomics investigations is gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). More than 400 compounds can be detected in a single analysis, if overlapping GC/MS peaks are deconvoluted. However, the deconvolution process is time-consuming and difficult to automate, and additional processing is needed in order to compare samples. Therefore, there is a need to improve and automate the data processing strategy for data generated in GC/MS-based metabolomics; if not, the processing step will be a major bottleneck for high-throughput analyses. Here we describe a new semiautomated strategy using a hierarchical multivariate curve resolution approach that processes all samples simultaneously. The presented strategy generates (after appropriate treatment, e.g., multivariate analysis) tables of all the detected metabolites that differ in relative concentrations between samples. The processing of 70 samples took similar time to that of the GC/TOFMS analyses of the samples. The strategy has been validated using two different sets of samples: a complex mixture of standard compounds and Arabidopsis samples.
Differential reflection phase shift under conditions of attenuated internal reflection (1999)

The angle-of-incidence dependence of the differential reflection phase shift Δ between p and s polarizations is considered a function of the real and imaginary parts of the relative complex dielectric function ε of an interface in the domain of fractional optical constants, i.e., under conditions of internal reflection. The constraint on complex ε such that oscillatory and monotonic angular responses are obtained is determined. A sensitive and stable technique, which is based on attenuated internal reflection ellipsometry between the Brewster angle and the critical angle, is proposed for measuring small induced absorption (εi∼10-5) in the medium of refraction.
Microstrip Circuits with a Modified Ground Plane (2009)

Different microstrip circuits with modified ground plane are considered in this article. The ground plane aperture (GPA), ground plane lossy aperture (GPLA), and defected ground structure (DGS) provide numerous advantages for microstrip elements and devices. DGS resonators find application in a large number of microstrip circuits where a frequency notch can reduce complexity and enhance performance. GPA is mainly used to increase the impedance in a section of a microstrip, allowing higher impedance lines and higher Q printed inductors. The applications of the GPA and GPLA include termination, attenuator, LPF, directional coupler, phase shifter, and Wilkinson divider.
A Sequence Polymorphism in MSTN Predicts Sprinting Ability and Racing Stamina in Thoroughbred Horses (2010)

Variants of the MSTN gene encoding myostatin are associated with muscle hypertrophy phenotypes in a range of mammalian species, most notably cattle, dogs, mice, and humans. Using a sample of registered Thoroughbred horses (n = 148), we have identified a novel MSTN sequence polymorphism that is strongly associated (g.66493737C>T, P = 4.85x10(-8)) with best race distance among elite racehorses (n = 79). This observation was independently validated (P = 1.91x10(-6)) in a resampled group of Thoroughbreds (n = 62) and in a cohort of Thoroughbreds (n = 37, P = 0.0047) produced by the same trainer. We observed that C/C horses are suited to fast, short-distance races; C/T horses compete favorably in middle-distance races; and T/T horses have greater stamina. Evaluation of retrospective racecourse performance (n = 142) and stallion progeny performance predict that C/C and C/T horses are more likely to be successful two-year-old racehorses than T/T animals. Here we describe for the first time the identification of a gene variant in Thoroughbred racehorses that is predictive of genetic potential for an athletic phenotype.

In this chapter, Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch provide an account of the history of the working memory concept and of their own substantial contributions, in addition to summaries of their ongoing research programmes. The broad scope of their chapter offers contexts for many, if not all of the chapters that follow.
Study of the formation of silver nanoparticles and silver nanoplates by chemical reduction method (2015)

The control of the diameter of silver nanoparticles, as well as the size and shape of silver nanoplates, is crucial for a lot of applications, from antibacterial solutions or surface treatment to biosensors. We synthesised silver nanoparticles and silver nanoplates from silver nitrate through a simple chemical reduction method in ambient conditions. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is used as both size controller and capping agent, while hydrogen peroxide and trisodium citrate (TSC) are used to control the nanoplates synthesis. Different solvents are used for obtaining the nanoparticles, i.e., water, ethylene glycol and ethanol. Standard characterisation was made by ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The spherical nanoparticles solution presents a yellow colour, indicating the sole presence of Ag nanoparticles within a narrow diameter range as confirmed by the surface plasmon resonance peak which between 399 nm and 418 nm depends on the solvent. For the silver nanoplates, the colour of solutions varies from green, blue, violet, to purple when modifiers are added to the silver nanoparticle synthesis solution. We present the influence of the concentration of the different reagents on the size and shape of these nanostructures.
Improve T Cell Therapy in Neuroblastoma (2011)

Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common malignant extracranial tumor of childhood. Since NB appears susceptible to immunotherapies that include monoclonal antibodies and T-cell immune responses elicited by tumor vaccine, we have combined the beneficial effects of both humoral and cell-mediated components of the anti tumor response. We demonstrated indeed that adoptive transfer of Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (EBV-CTLs) genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-GD2) targeting the GD2 antigen expressed by neuroblasts persist in the peripheral blood and induce objective tumor responses (including complete remissions). We will now augment the expansion and survival of CAR-GD2 modified EBV-CTLs by coexpressing the IL-7R that restores their capacity to respond to homeostatic IL-7. We will also enhance the capacity of these cells to invade solid tumor masses by expressing heparanase (HPSE) that disrupts the non-cellular stromal elements of NB. Experiments will be conducted in vitro and in vivo in a xenograft mouse model.
Influences of dietary soy isoflavones on metabolism but not nociception and stress hormone responses in ovariectomized female rats (2005)

In summary, these data show that consumption of soy isoflavones 1) increases metabolism, demonstrated by significantly decreased body weights, adipose tissue deposition and leptin levels, but 2) does not alter nociception or stress hormone responses, as indexed by thermal pain threshold, serum corticosterone and ACTH levels in chemically-induced estrous OVX rats.
Gap Junction Development Is Correlated with Insulin Content in the Pancreatic B Cell (1980)

The development of gap junctions between insulin-containing B cells was quantitatively analyzed in islets of Langerhans isolated from rats treated with the sulfonylurea glibenclamid for 1, 2, or 7 days. Glibenclamid treatment was associated with a marked depletion of the insulin content of B cells and with an increase in the number and size of gap junctions between these cells. A significance correlation was found between these two events.
Insight into Elastic Properties of Binary Alkali Silicate Glasses; Prediction and Interpretation through Atomistic Simulation Techniques (2007)

Molecular dynamics simulations and energy-minimization techniques have been applied for the first time to determine the whole set of elastic properties (Young's modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson's ratio) of alkali silicate glasses with different ion modifiers (Li, Na, and K) in the range 0−30 mol % alkaline oxide. Excellent agreement has been found between the simulation results and the experimental data. The peculiar behavior of the Li-containing glasses with respect to the Na and K ones is extensively discussed in terms of the glass structural features. It is found that the elastic property variation as a function of alkali addition can be explained by three concurrent factors: (1) depolymerization of the silica network; (2) increasing the cohesion of the glass by the establishment of alkali−NBO bonds; and (3) decreasing the free volume with consequent increasing of the glass packing density.
Batch-fabricated cantilever probes with electrical shielding for nanoscale dielectric and conductivity imaging (2012)

This paper presents the design and fabrication of batch-processed cantilever probes with electrical shielding for scanning microwave impedance microscopy. The diameter of the tip apex, which defines the electrical resolution, is less than 50 nm. The width of the stripline and the thicknesses of the insulation dielectrics are optimized for a small series resistance (<5 Ω) and a small background capacitance (∼1 pF), both critical for high sensitivity imaging on various samples. The coaxial shielding ensures that only the probe tip interacts with the sample. The structure of the cantilever is designed to be symmetric to balance the stresses and thermal expansions of different layers so that the cantilever remains straight under variable temperatures. Such shielded cantilever probes produced in the wafer scale will facilitate enormous applications on nanoscale dielectric and conductivity imaging.
Novel Band-to-Band Tunneling Body Contact (BTBC) Structure to Suppress the Floating- Body Effect in a Vertical-Cell DRAM (2018)

A vertical cell is the best structure for optimizing dynamic random access memory size. However, this structure has a fatal weakness called the floatingbody effect (FBE). In this letter, we propose a new vertical structure to suppress FBE and short-channel effects, and successfully demonstrate the structure through simulation. In the new structure, the band-to-band tunnel diode body contact is built in the source region, which effectively releases the accumulated body carriers. In the buried contact, a heavily doped p <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> layer is introduced next to the n <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> source region, effectively connecting the body and source through tunneling. Furthermore, the proposed structure shows an extremely high ON-state to OFF-state current (ION/IOFF) ratio of ~107 for a channel length of 100 nm.
Percutaneous Implantation of Subcutaneous Prosthetic Ureters: Long-Term Outcome (2001)

The subcutaneous urinary diversion using a silicone-PTFE prosthesis is an efficient and minimally invasive way to bypass malignant or complex benign obstructions of the ureters that otherwise would necessitate permanent nephrostomy drainage.
Preliminary Sound Recording Tests with Variable-Area Dye Tracks<!--<xref ref-type="other" rid="fn1-10.5594_J11835">*</xref>--> (1946)

The introduction of new color emulsions to the industry makes it necessary for the sound engineer to investigate problems in connection with the recording and reproducing of quality tracks on this new medium. — This paper is a discussion of the results of some preliminary tests made with variable-area tracks on Ansco reversible monopack color film. The tracks were processed in exactly the same manner as for picture and therefore are of dye composition. — Three specific methods of printing are discussed. Quantitative measurements of tracks containing modulated and constant-amplitude tones reproduced with the new gas-filled blue-sensitive and the ordinary red-sensitive phototubes are given.
Pilot study of a specific serotonergic antagonist, pirenperone, in the treatment of anxiety disorders. (1984)

Pirenperone (R 47465) is the prototype of a new class of psychotropic drugs, selective serotonin 5-HT2 receptor blocking agents. In an open pilot study, the anxiolytic properties of pirenperone were evaluated in a sample of five anxious inpatients who met Research Diagnostic Criteria for current Generalized Anxiety Disorder and who had a score of at least 25 on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS). Three dosage levels were tested: 15, 30 and 60 mg/a day in 3 divided doses. Each dosage period lasted at least 5 days, at the end of which patients were reassessed by HAS, Clinical Global Impression and a side-effects checklist. Results suggested a modest anxiolytic activity, without a clear dose-response relationship and with good tolerance. Subsequent treatment by lorazepam (7.5 mg/d) seemed to result in more specific improvement.
Digital implementation of decentralized control for multilevel converter (2017)

This paper presents the implementation of a decentralized modulation for the control of multilevel converters requiring phase-shifted carriers. Contrary to the principle using a “master” controller providing a set of interleaved carriers, the proposed method uses local interconnections between different independent elementary controllers allowing them to self-align their own carrier regardless the number of actives cells.
Memory organization for improved data cache performance in embedded processors (1996)

Code generation for embedded processors creates opportunities for several performance optimizations not applicable for traditional compilers. We present techniques for improving data cache performance by organizing variables declared in embedded code into memory, using specific parameters of the data cache. Our approach clusters variables to minimize compulsory cache misses, and solves the memory assignment problem to minimize conflict cache misses. Our experiments demonstrate significant improvement in data cache performance (average 46\% in hit ratios) by the application of our memory organization technique using code kernels from DSP and other domains on the LSI Logic CW4001 embedded processor.
Inhibition of <i>ABCB1</i> (<i>MDR1</i>) and <i>ABCB4</i> (<i>MDR3</i>) expression by small interfering RNA and reversal of paclitaxel resistance in human ovarian cancer cells (2004)

Ovarian cancer is currently the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, and paclitaxel is a cornerstone in the treatment of this malignancy. Unfortunately, the efficacy of paclitaxel is limited by the development of drug resistance. Clinical paclitaxel resistance is often associated with ABCB1 (MDR1) overexpression, and in vitro paclitaxel resistance typically demonstrates overexpression of the ABCB1 gene. In this study, we demonstrate that paclitaxel-resistant cell lines overexpress both ABCB1 and ABCB4 (MDR3). To evaluate the role of these transporters in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cells, small interference RNAs (siRNAs) were used to target ABCB1 and ABCB4 RNA in the paclitaxel-resistant SKOV-3TR and OVCAR8TR ovarian cancer cell lines. Treatment of these lines with either chemically synthesized siRNAs or transfection with specific vectors that express targeted siRNAs demonstrated decreased mRNA and protein levels of ABCB1 or ABCB4. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays of siRNA-treated cells demonstrated 7- to 12.4-fold reduction of paclitaxel resistance in the lines treated with the synthesized siRNA of ABCB1 and 4.7- to 7.3-fold reduction of paclitaxel resistance in the cell lines transfected with siRNA of ABCB1 expressing vectors. ABCB4 siRNA-treated cell lines showed minor reduction in paclitaxel resistance. These results indicate that siRNA targeted to ABCB1 can sensitize paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer cells in vitro and suggest that siRNA treatment may represent a new approach for the treatment of ABCB1-mediated drug resistance.
Comparison of the Aroma Characteristics of Acid-Hydrolyzed and Enzyme-Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins Produced from Soy (1998)

The aroma volatiles of an acidic hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) and an enzymatic hydrolyzed vegetable protein (EVP) were compared by gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS) and gas chromatography−olfactometry (GCO). Major differences were found between the two hydrolysates. Furans and furanones, pyrroles, and sulfur-containing compounds were mainly present in HVP, whereas alcohols (including phenols) and pyrazines were mainly found in EVP. These differences reflected the two production methods. The high temperature and low pH during the acid hydrolysis of HVP favored the production of furans and the decomposition of sulfur amino acids, resulting in the production of sulfur-containing volatile compounds. A pH above 5 during the enzymatic hydrolysis facilitated the production of pyrazines. The alcohols in EVP may be formed by the added enzymes or by enzymes naturally present in the soy grits. Significant differences in the odors between the hydrolysates were detected by GCO. Keywords: Acid-hydrolyzed vegetable protein; enzyme-hydrolyzed vegetable protein; Maillard reaction; aroma; volatiles
