DEVS representation of dynamical systems: event-based intelligent control (1989)

It is shown how systems can be advantageously represented as discrete event models by using DEVS (discrete event system specification), set-theoretic formalism. Such DEVS models provide a basis for the design of event-based logic control. In this control paradigm, the controller expects to receive confirming sensor responses to its control commands within definite time windows determined by its DEVS model of the system under control. The event-based control paradigm is applied in advanced robotic and intelligent automation, showing how classical process control can be readily interfaced with rule-based symbolic reasoning systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Systemic release of cytokines and heat shock proteins in porcine models of polytrauma and hemorrhage* (2011)

Differential regulation of the systemic cytokine release after polytrauma and/or hemorrhage, in combination with the effects of resuscitation, can explain the variability and inconsistent association of systemic cytokine/heat shock protein levels with clinical variables in trauma patients. Insults of major severity (P/H) partially suppress the systemic inflammatory response. The plasma concentrations of the measured cytokines/heat shock proteins do not reflect injury severity or physiological changes in porcine trauma models and are unlikely to be able to serve as useful trauma biomarkers in patients.
AIDS in Africa: An Epidemiologic Paradigm (1986)

Cases of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) have been reported in countries throughout the world. Initial surveillance studies in Central Africa suggest an annual incidence of AIDS of 550 to 1000 cases per million adults. The male to female ratio of cases is 1:1, with age- and sex-specific rates greater in females less than 30 years of age and greater in males over age 40. Clinically, AIDS in Africans is often characterized by a diarrhea-wasting syndrome, opportunistic infections, such as tuberculosis, cryptococcosis, and cryptosporidiosis, or disseminated Kaposi's sarcoma. From 1 to 18% of healthy blood donors and pregnant women and as many as 27 to 88% of female prostitutes have antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The present annual incidence of infection is approximately 0.75% among the general population of Central and East Africa. The disease is transmitted predominantly by heterosexual activity, parenteral exposure to blood transfusions and unsterilized needles, and perinatally from infected mothers to their newborns, and will continue to spread rapidly where economic and cultural factors favor these modes of transmission. Prevention and control of HIV infection through educational programs and blood bank screening should be an immediate public health priority for all African countries.
SAHAYOG: A test bed for evaluating dynamic load‐sharing policies (1989)

Abstract This paper describes the implementation of a test bed called SAHAYOG, for evaluating dynamic load‐sharing policies in which job‐transfer decisions are based on the state of the system. The test bed is implemented on a network of AT&T 3B2 minicomputers. It provides an interactive user interface for conducting load‐sharing experiments. Based on user‐specified parameters it creates independent job streams at different nodes in the network. Jobs are transferred among the nodes by the load‐sharing algorithm being evaluated. Each node collects data about the jobs, which are used to generate statistics about the experiment. Five load‐sharing algorithms are implemented and evaluated using the test bed under different load conditions and for various parameter values. These experiments confirm some earlier results about load sharing and also provide some new insights. SAHAYOG also contains an optional fault‐tolerance feature to handle single‐node failures, and evaluates the effect of fault tolerance on the performance of different policies.
Coherent Phonon Heat Conduction in Superlattices (2012)

The control of heat conduction through the manipulation of phonons as coherent waves in solids is of fundamental interest and could also be exploited in applications, but coherent heat conduction has not been experimentally confirmed. We report the experimental observation of coherent heat conduction through the use of finite-thickness superlattices with varying numbers of periods. The measured thermal conductivity increased linearly with increasing total superlattice thickness over a temperature range from 30 to 150 kelvin, which is consistent with a coherent phonon heat conduction process. First-principles and Green's function-based simulations further support this coherent transport model. Accessing the coherent heat conduction regime opens a new venue for phonon engineering for an array of applications.
Analysis of Public Image and Video Databases for Quality Assessment (2012)

Databases of images or videos annotated with subjective ratings constitute essential ground truth for training, testing, and benchmarking algorithms for objective quality assessment. More than two dozen such databases are now available in the public domain; they are presented and analyzed in this paper. We propose several criteria for quantitative comparisons of source content, test conditions, and subjective ratings, which are used as the basis for the ensuing analyses and discussion. This information will allow researchers to make more well-informed decisions about databases, and may also guide the creation of additional test material and the design of future experiments.
Fluorescence properties of allophycocyanin and a crosslinked allophycocyanin trimer (1987)

Data on the wavelength and temperature dependence of both time-resolved and steady state fluorescence emission are presented for allophycocyanin (AP) and for a crosslinked allophycocyanin trimer (XL-AP) (Ong LJ and Glazer AN: Physiol Veg 23:777-787, 1985). AP dissociates at high dilution and is not stable above 40 degrees C even at moderate protein concentration. In contrast, XL-AP does not dissociate even at very low protein concentrations and is completely stable up to 60 degrees C in the presence of 0.75 M NaK-phosphate, pH 7.0. The results show that XL-AP is superior to AP for use in conjugates that absorb and emit in the red region of the spectrum. The high stability of XL-AP at elevated temperatures at high phosphate concentrations suggests that this derivative may be useful in conjunction with nucleic acid probes.
Comments on "A new vector quantization clustering algorithm (1992)

W.H. Equitz (IEEE Trans. Acoust., Speech, and Signal Process. vol.37, no.10, p.1568-75, Oct. 1989) presented a procedure called pairwise nearest neighbor (PNN) as a new alternative to the familiar Linde-Buzo-Gray algorithm for vector quantization. The commenter maintains that inspection of the statistical literature shows the PNN algorithm to be identical to J. Ward's hierarchical clustering method published in 1963.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Overexpression of p27 protein in human breast cancer correlates with in vitro resistance to doxorubicin and mitomycin C. (2001)

Immunohistochemical results regarding p27 might be therapeutically useful as an indicator of response to DXR and/or MMC based adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic study on sapphire nitridation for GaN growth by hydride vapor phase epitaxy: Nitridation mechanism (2003)

The nitridation of c-plane sapphire within the hydride vapor phase epitaxy system was systematically studied as a function of time and ammonia partial pressure using ex situ x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, reflection high-energy electron diffraction, and atomic force microscopy. During the nitridation process, nitrogen was incorporated into the sapphire surface. There were two different nitrogen chemical bonding states, which can be attributed to N–Al bonds and nitrogen in oxygen-rich environment (‘N–O’). As the nitridation continued, the N 1s intensity increased while the O 1s intensity decreased indicating the growth of a nitrogen-rich layer. The sapphire nitridation process can be modeled as a diffusion couple of AlN and Al2O3, where N3− and O2− interdiffuse in the rigid Al3+ framework. Nitrogen diffuses into sapphire and substitutes for oxygen to bond with aluminum. The bond substitution is accompanied by structural changes where the AlN in-plane direction is rotated 30° with respect to the sapphire direction. The replaced oxygen diffuses out to the surface, combines with hydrogen and desorbs as H2O. The overall nitridation rate is determined by the slower of the two moving anions. From the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data, the chemical diffusion coefficient of nitrogen (D̃N) and oxygen (D̃O), were estimated. D̃N was found to be higher than D̃O, which suggested that the overall nitridation rate was controlled by the diffusion of oxygen to the surface. After nitridation, no protrusions were observed on the surface and no significant changes in the surface roughness were measured when compared to the as-received sapphire.
Pilot scale struvite recovery potential from centrate at Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant (2009)

In this study, the workability of a newly designed, scaled up pilot-scale reactor was examined. The work was carried out at Lulu Island Wastewater Treatment Plant (LIWWTP) in Richmond, BC. One of the main objectives of the study was to demonstrate the ability of the reactor to remove at least 70% of the phosphate present in the centrate. Results showed that the reactor was capable of removing, under controlled conditions, over 90 % of phosphate and 4% of ammonia-nitrogen. Phosphate concentration in the effluent could be lowered to 5 mg/L. More than 85% of the phosphate removed was recovered as harvestable struvite pellets. The desired degree of phosphate removal was achieved by controlling the reactor supersaturation ratio. This ratio was in turn, controlled by varying the magnesium input and/or operating pH. Data collected indicated that it was possible to achieve over 90% P-removal at a pH of 7.5; this is contrary to the information found in literature, which recommends that a higher pH (8.2~9.0) is required. Factors that affected phosphate removal were the operating pH, the reactor SSR, the N:P and Mg:P molar ratios. The determination of struvite solubility product with centrate and distilled water gave different values. The solubility product was dependent on the water tested, the pH of the solution and the temperature. The temperature coefficient and enthalpy at 25°C were 1.21 and 137.5 kJ/mol, respectively. Analysis of the harvested product showed that the pellets were composed of nearly pure struvite (96% by weight), with small amounts of calcium and traces of aluminum and iron. ICP/MS testing of struvite samples found lower heavy metal content than that present in P-rock. The reactor SSR was determined to be the significant factor for pellet size; Mg:P molar ratio and upflow velocity determining the pellet hardness. Through the process, it was possible to grow pellets larger than 4.75 mm. Two struvite models, developed by Potts and Britton at UBC, were used to predict the process performance along with the phosphate and ammonia effluent concentrations. The models were validated by comparing the predicted values with the actual operational data. Comparison of P-removal efficiency, effluent phosphate and ammonia concentrations showed that the former was more accurate in the prediction. A trial was made by using an artificial neural network, Neusciences Neuframe® 4.0 model, to predict the effluent phosphate concentration. This model was found to be inefficient in its prediction, largely due to the small number of data used to train the model.
Identification of binding partners interacting with the α1-N-propeptide of type V collagen (2010)

The predominant form of type V collagen is the [α1(V)]₂α2(V) heterotrimer. Mutations in COL5A1 or COL5A2, encoding respectively the α1(V)- and α2(V)-collagen chain, cause classic EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome), a heritable connective tissue disorder, characterized by fragile hyperextensible skin and joint hypermobility. Approximately half of the classic EDS cases remain unexplained. Type V collagen controls collagen fibrillogenesis through its conserved α1(V)-N-propeptide domain. To gain an insight into the role of this domain, a yeast two-hybrid screen among proteins expressed in human dermal fibroblasts was performed utilizing the N-propeptide as a bait. We identified 12 interacting proteins, including extracellular matrix proteins and proteins involved in collagen biosynthesis. Eleven interactions were confirmed by surface plasmon resonance and/or co-immunoprecipitation: α1(I)- and α2(I)-collagen chains, α1(VI)-, α2(VI)- and α3(VI)-collagen chains, tenascin-C, fibronectin, PCPE-1 (procollagen C-proteinase enhancer-1), TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1), MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase 2) and TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor β1). Solid-phase binding assays confirmed the involvement of the α1(V)-N-propeptide in the interaction between native type V collagen and type VI collagen, suggesting a bridging function of this protein complex in the cell-matrix environment. Enzymatic studies showed that processing of the α1(V)-N-propeptide by BMP-1 (bone morphogenetic protein 1)/procollagen C-proteinase is enhanced by PCPE-1. These interactions are likely to be involved in extracellular matrix homoeostasis and their disruption could explain the pathogenetic mechanism in unresolved classic EDS cases.
Structure of the Mosquitocidal δ-Endotoxin CytB from sp. and Implications for Membrane Pore Formation (1996)

The delta-endotoxin CytB, found in parasporal inclusions of Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kyushuensis, is a membrane pore-forming protein which is lethal to the larvae of Dipteran insects and broadly cytolytic in vitro. The crystal structure of CytB in the protoxin form has been determined by isomorphous replacement using heavy-atom derivatives of both the wild-type protein and an engineered cysteine mutant. The atomic model comprising residues 19 to 245 and 28 bound water molecules has been refined at 2.6 angstrom resolution to a crystallographic R-factor of 19.7% and a free R-factor of 26.1%. CytB has a single domain of alpha/beta architecture but a novel connectivity comprising two outer layers of alpha-helix hairpins wrapped around a mixed beta-sheet. In the protoxin form, CytB is a dimer linked by the intertwined N-terminal strands in a continuous, 12-stranded beta-sheet. Proteolytic processing cleaves the intertwined beta-strands to release the active CytB as a monomer, as well as removing the C-terminal tail to uncover the three-layered core. The homologous toxin CytA should show the same fold. Mutations in CytA that inhibit expression map to the dimer contacts and to the tip of helix pair A-B in contact with the sheet, apparently preventing correct folding. Mutations that inhibit toxicity map to the edge of the beta-sheet adjoining the helix pair C-D and to the sheet face, while mutations on the helix surfaces have no effect. Therefore segments forming the sheet, rather than the amphiphilic but short helices, are responsible for membrane binding and pore formation. A conformational change is postulated by which the helix pair C-D peels away from the sheet to lie on the membrane surface, while the sheet region rearranges to form an oligomeric trans-membrane pore.
Insulin resistance, diabetes, and the insulin-regulated trafficking of GLUT-4. (1994)

AB~T~S affects ~,5% of people in the United States of America and the incidence is much higher in sporadic populations such as Pima Indians in North America and Australian Aborigines. There are two major forms of diabetes, referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD) ~ and non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDD). The etiology of these diseases is quite different despite similarities in their pathophysiologies. IDD often arises in early life and is due to autoimmune destruction of pancreatic/3 cells resulting in partial or complete loss of/3 cell function. NIDD is more common in later life (>40 yr) and ,x,85 % of all diabetics have this form. The increased prevalence of NIDD in developed countries together with its association with heart disease and stroke makes this one of the most devastating diseases in the western world. NIDD appears to be due to a defect in glucose disposal (DeFronzo et al., 1992). Both glucose per se and insulin, play important roles in facilitating glucose uptake into target organs (for review see DeFronzo et ai., 1992). Following ingestion of a carbohydrate meal, glucose uptake into many organs is increased simply due to the elevated blood glucose. A more pronounced increase which is evoked by insulin, is observed specifically in muscle and adipose tissue. The net result is that in the postprandial state, glucose is rapidly and efficiently cleared from the blood and stored primarily in muscle and adipose. Each of these processes is defective in NIDD making it extremely difficult to identify the primary lesion. Studies in first degree relatives of NIDDs indicate that one of the earliest detectable defects is impaired insulin action in muscle and adipose tissue or insulin resistance (Martin et al., 1992). Thus, identifying the physiological and molecular biological processes that control insulin-stimulated glucose utilization in these organs is of major significance.
Air traffic control using genetic search techniques (2003)

Genetic search techniques constitute an optimization methodology effective for solving discontinuous, non-convex, nonlinear, or non-analytic problems. This paper explores the application of such techniques to a non-analytic event-related air traffic control problem, that of runway assignment, sequencing and scheduling of arrival flights at an airport with multiple runways. Several genetic search formulations are developed and evaluated with a representative arrival traffic scenario. The results exemplify the importance of the selection of the chromosomal representation for a genetic search problem.
Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation 2007: [2008-02-26] (2010)

The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), conducts an annual public transportation funding survey of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. This 2007 Survey of State Funding for Public Transportation includes responses from all 51 departments and the data reflect Fiscal Year 2006 funding. States provided $11.1 billion in funding for transit in Fiscal Year 2006 (FY 2006). This compares with about $8.1 billion in funding provided by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation that same year. The $11.1 billion in state funding for FY 2006 is more than double the $4.8 billion provided by the states in FY 1995.

Synthesis of Benzofuro- and Indolo[3,2-<i>b</i>]indoles via Palladium-Catalyzed Double <i>N</i>-Arylation and Their Physical Properties (2015)

Two kinds of ladder-type π-conjugated compounds, benzofuro[3,2-b]indoles (BFIs) and indolo[3,2-b]indoles (IIs), were successfully synthesized using palladium-catalyzed double N-arylation of anilines with the corresponding dihalobiaryls. Photophysical properties were evaluated by UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopies and theoretical calculations. BFI derivatives showed higher quantum yields (33-39%) than the II derivative (29%). The absorption bands of the II derivative were more red-shifted compared to BFI derivatives.
Radiotherapy with Heavy Ions: Radiobiology, Clinical Indications and Experience at GSI, Darmstadt (1998)

In the history of external beam radiotherapy, the trend for a better conformation as well as for a higher biological efficiency has been the driving force for the improvement of clinical results. However, these two goals had to be followed with separate types of radiation, i.e. photons and neutrons, and could not be combined. For the first time being, beams of heavy ions like carbon offer the possibility to combine both advantageous properties: better targeting and higher biological efficiency. Particle beams have an inverse depth dose profile, with a maximum dose in the deep seated tumor, a finite range, small lateral scattering, and a drastically increased biological efficiency in the tumor. These properties maximize the deletion effects on tumor cells. In addition, particle beams can be directed precisely in the limit of one or two millimeters, and can be monitored using positron emission tomography (PET) with the same precision. In the following paper the conditions are given that are necessary to translate these properties into clinical routine.
