Development and Evaluation of a Car Navigation System Providing a Bird's-Eye View Map Display (1996)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A new map display technique has been developed for car navigation systems that presents a bird's-eye view of three-dimensional map images. This view allows both detailed and wide-area information to be presented simultaneously in a single screen display. It provides drivers with a reassuring feeling while driving along their route because the two types of information can guide them accurately to their destination. The results of evaluation tests have confirmed the effectiveness of this technique. On the other hand, some aspects requiring further improvement were also identified. This paper discusses how the technique was developed and describes the tests conducted to evaluate its effectiveness along with the results obtained.</div>

Ford’s British Engineering and Design facilities in the 1950s and 1960s (2018)

Ford of Britain has the longest history of manufacturing, engineering and design<br/>within the Ford organisation outside of the US, and that heritage still continues<br/>today, with Dunton Research and Engineering Centre in Essex celebrating<br/>its fiftieth year of operation in 2017. The history of Ford’s engineering and<br/>design goes back way before Dunton of course, although it has never been well<br/>documented.1
miRNA-132 orchestrates chromatin remodeling and translational control of the circadian clock (2010)

Mammalian circadian rhythms are synchronized to the external time by daily resetting of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in response to light. As the master circadian pacemaker, the SCN coordinates the timing of diverse cellular oscillators in multiple tissues. Aberrant regulation of clock timing is linked to numerous human conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, various neurological disorders and the hereditary disorder familial advanced sleep phase syndrome. Additionally, mechanisms that underlie clock resetting factor into the sleep and physiological disturbances experienced by night-shift workers and travelers with jet lag. The Ca(2+)/cAMP response element-binding protein-regulated microRNA, miR-132, is induced by light within the SCN and attenuates its capacity to reset, or entrain, the clock. However, the specific targets that are regulated by miR-132 and underlie its effects on clock entrainment remained elusive until now. Here, we show that genes involved in chromatin remodeling (Mecp2, Ep300, Jarid1a) and translational control (Btg2, Paip2a) are direct targets of miR-132 in the mouse SCN. Coordinated regulation of these targets underlies miR-132-dependent modulation of Period gene expression and clock entrainment: the mPer1 and mPer2 promoters are bound to and transcriptionally activated by MeCP2, whereas PAIP2A and BTG2 suppress the translation of the PERIOD proteins by enhancing mRNA decay. We propose that miR-132 is selectively enriched for chromatin- and translation-associated target genes and is an orchestrator of chromatin remodeling and protein translation within the SCN clock, thereby fine-tuning clock entrainment. These findings will further our understanding of mechanisms governing clock entrainment and its involvement in human diseases.
Ultrastructural appraisal of the multidrug resistance in K562 and LR73 cell lines from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. (1993)

Two different cell lines sharing the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype were investigated for 8 months by means of Fourier transform IR spectroscopy on cell smears. We studied (a) a human leukemic doxorubicin-sensitive K562 cell line, from which a doxorubicin-resistant K562 cell subline was subsequently derived; (b) a Chinese hamster LR73 drug-sensitive line, subsequently transfected with the expression plasmid pDREX4 containing the mdr1 gene, to produce a multidrug-resistant LR73 subline (MDR-LR73). The sensitivity of Fourier transform IR spectroscopy has allowed differentiation between sensitive and MDR phenotypes among the above lines, even in double blind studies. The MDR phenotype is characterized by three combined features in spectra: (a) a decrease in the intensities of the amide I and II bands; (b) a shoulder on the high wave numbers slope of the amide I bands; (c) a shift toward the high wave numbers of the amide II bands. Furthermore, computational treatment of Fourier transform IR spectra (deconvolution and Gaussian curve-fitting techniques), has evidenced, in MDR-K562 and MDR-LR73 cell sublines, a conformational change involving the same protein in both sublines. It is hypothesized that the protein implicated in the conformational change may be related to the MDR phenotype.

Flare‐Up After Maxillofacial Surgery in a Patient With Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva: An [<sup>18</sup>F]‐NaF PET/CT Study and a Systematic Review (2017)

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disorder leading to progressive heterotopic ossifications (HO) of muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which can be induced by trauma or by surgery. Despite strong medical advice to the contrary, an FOP patient insisted on surgery to alleviate her complete trismus, which caused an unbearable impact on her quality of life (QOL). The entire trismus history of this FOP patient is presented. [<sup>18</sup>F]-NaF position emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans were introduced as an imaging method for heterotopic bone formation activity. To place our findings into context, a systematic review on jaw surgery in FOP was performed. After falling down the stairs, a 9-year-old patient developed mobility impairment of her left-sided jaw. During the following 13 years bone scintigraphy showed persistent activity of the disease leading to progressive left-sided zygomatico-mandibular fusion by HO, resulting in complete trismus. Within 1 month after HO removal on the left side and a matching right coronoidectomy, [<sup>18</sup>F]-NaF PET/CT demonstrated a substantial flare-up activity followed by new HO in both masseter and temporalis muscles. Despite recurrent HO and trismus her QOL increased due to a stable increased interincisal opening of 5.5 mm. Although systematic review reveals a 100% risk of HO recurrence after jaw surgery, information on improved QOL is scarce. In conclusion, surgery in FOP may be beneficial for QOL despite new HO formation. Assessment of disease activity using [<sup>18</sup>F]-NaF PET/CT is possible before HO is evident on CT and may serve as a new and quantitative marker of the disease. © 2017 The Authors. <i>JBMR Plus</i> Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
A Parallel Processing Architecture for Solving Large-Scale Linear Systems (2008)

Solving linear systems with multiple variables is at the core of many scienti…c problems. Parallel
processing techniques for solving such system problems has have received much attention in recent
years. A key theme in the literature pertains to the application of Lower triangular matrix and
Upper triangular matrix(LU) decomposing, which factorizes an N N square matrix into two
triangular matrices. The resulting linear system can be more easily solved in O(N2) work. Inher-
ently, the computational complexity of LU decomposition is O(N3). Moreover, it is a challenging
process to parallelize. A highly-parallel methodology for solving large-scale, dense, linear systems
is proposed in this thesis by means of the novel application of Cramer’s Rule. A numerically stable
scheme is described, yielding an overall computational complexity of O(N) with N2 processing
units.

An HMD-based Mixed Reality System for Avatar-Mediated Remote Collaboration with Bare-hand Interaction (2015)

We present a novel system for mixed reality based remote collaboration system, which enables a local user to interact and collaborate with another user from remote space using natural hand motion. Unlike conventional system where the remote user appears only inside the screen, our system is able to summon the remote user into the local space, which appears as a virtual avatar in the real world view seen by the local user. To support our avatar-mediated remote collaboration concept, we derive a systematic framework design that consists of the hardware and software configuration with various devices. We explore novel techniques for calibrating and managing the coordinate system in asymmetric setup, sensor fusion between devices and generating human-like motion for the avatar. For validating our proposal, we implemented a proof-of-concept prototype using off-the-shelf hardware and report the experimental results. We believe that our system overcomes not only several limitations of previous systems but also creates new possibilities in remote collaboration domain.
Transcriptome and Metabolome Analyses of Glucosinolates in Two Broccoli Cultivars Following Jasmonate Treatment for the Induction of Glucosinolate Defense to Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (2016)

Lepidopteran larvae growth is influenced by host plant glucosinolate (GS) concentrations, which are, in turn, influenced by the phytohormone jasmonate (JA). In order to elucidate insect resistance biomarkers to lepidopteran pests, transcriptome and metabolome analyses following JA treatments were conducted with two broccoli cultivars, Green Magic and VI-158, which have differentially induced indole GSs, neoglucobrassicin and glucobrassicin, respectively. To test these two inducible GSs on growth of cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni), eight neonate cabbage looper larvae were placed onto each of three plants per JA treatments (0, 100, 200, 400 µM) three days after treatment. After five days of feeding, weight of larvae and their survival rate was found to decrease with increasing JA concentrations in both broccoli cultivars. JA-inducible GSs were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Neoglucobrassicin in Green Magic and glucobrassicin in VI-158 leaves were increased in a dose-dependent manner. One or both of these glucosinolates and/or their hydrolysis products showed significant inverse correlations with larval weight and survival (five days after treatment) while being positively correlated with the number of days to pupation. This implies that these two JA-inducible glucosinolates can influence the growth and survival of cabbage looper larvae. Transcriptome profiling supported the observed changes in glucosinolate and their hydrolysis product concentrations following JA treatments. Several genes related to GS metabolism differentiate the two broccoli cultivars in their pattern of transcriptional response to JA treatments. Indicative of the corresponding change in indole GS concentrations, transcripts of the transcription factor MYB122, core structure biosynthesis genes (CYP79B2, UGT74B1, SUR1, SOT16, SOT17, and SOT18), an indole glucosinolate side chain modification gene (IGMT1), and several glucosinolate hydrolysis genes (TGG1, TGG2, and ESM1) were significantly increased in Green Magic (statistically significant in most cases at 400 µM) while UGT74B1 and MYB122 were significantly increased in VI-158. Therefore, these metabolite and transcript biomarker results indicate that transcriptome profiling can identify genes associated with the formation of two different indole GS and their hydrolysis products. Therefore, these metabolite and transcript biomarkers could be useful in an effective marker-assisted breeding strategy for resistance to generalist lepidopteran pests in broccoli and potentially other Brassica vegetables.
Infrared emissivity of burn wounds (1992)

Emissivities of burn wounds and tissue samples have been measured in the wavelength range 8-14 microns using a non-contact method. Emissivities of wound tissues studied were in the range 0.976-0.992, greater than those of intact skin by 0.01-0.03. This will result in underestimates of the difference in temperature between wounds and normal skin of 0.1-0.2 degrees C.
The biological action of substances related to thyroxine. 3. Substances derived from 3:5-diiodo-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and related compounds (1951)

1. A series of fifteen 3:5-diiodo-4-alkoxybenzoic acids and their esters has been tested for anti- thyroxine activity by the oxygen consumption method in mice, but all were markedly inferior to n-butyl 3:5-diiodo-4-hydroxybenzoate.
A simple implementation of a normal mixture approach to differential gene expression in multiclass microarrays (2006)

By converting to a z-score the value of the test statistic used to test the significance of each gene, we propose a simple two-component normal mixture that models adequately the distribution of this score. The usefulness of our approach is demonstrated on three real datasets.
Dynamic Performance Tuning in a Unix Environment: A Collaborative CMAC Design. (2002)

A novel feather-degrading bacterium was isolated from a polluted river and identified as Bacillus licheniformis RPk. The isolate exhibited high proteinase production when grown in chicken-feather media. Complete feather degradation was achieved during cultivation. Maximum protease activity (4150 U/mL with casein as a substrate and 37.35 U/mL with keratin as a substrate) was obtained when the strain was grown in a medium containing 7.5 g/L chicken feathers, 2 g/L yeast extract, 0.5 g/L NaCl, 0.1 g/L MgSO4 x 7H2O, 0.7 g/L KH2PO4, and 1.4 g/L K2HPO4 for 48 h with agitation of 200 rev/min at 37 degrees C. The major protease produced by B. licheniformis RPk was purified to homogeneity by a 3-step procedure. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 32 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The optimum pH and temperature for the caseinolytic activity were around 11.0 and 65 degrees C, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for the keratinolytic activity were 9.0 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The activity of the enzyme was totally lost in the presence of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, which suggests that the purified enzyme is a serine protease. The thermostability of the enzyme was considerably enhanced in the presence of Ca2+ at temperatures >50 degrees C. The kerRP gene, which encodes the keratinolytic protease, was isolated, and its DNA sequence was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that the keratinase KerRP differs from KerA of B. licheniformis PWD-1, subtilisin Carlsberg, and keratinase of B. licheniformis by 2, 4, and 62 amino acids, respectively.
Normally‐off GaN‐MISFET with well‐controlled threshold voltage (2007)

Abstract A new device structure with four epitaxial layers and a recessed gate is proposed for normally‐off operation in GaN‐FETs. Employment of this structure makes it possible to control accurately the threshold voltage without accurate control of recess etching depth. The high breakdown voltage and the low on‐resistance of the fabricated devices are also reported. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Miscibility, morphology and thermal properties of poly(<i>para</i>‐dioxanone)/poly(<scp>D</scp>,<scp>L</scp>‐lactide) blends (2008)

Abstract BACKGROUND: Poly( para ‐dioxanone) (PPDO) is a biodegradable polyester with excellent biodegradability, bioabsorbability, biocompatibility and mechanical flexibility. However, its high cost and relatively fast degradation rate have hindered the development of commercial applications. Blending with other polymers is a simple and convenient way of modifying the properties of aliphatic polyesters. Poly( D , L ‐lactide) (PDLLA) is another polyester that has been extensively studied for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and suitable degradation rate. However, to our knowledge, blends of PPDO/PDLLA have not been reported in the literature. RESULTS: A series of biodegradable polymers were blended by solution co‐precipitation of PPDO and PDLLA in various blend ratios. The miscibility, morphology and thermal properties of the materials were investigated. DSC curves for all blends revealed two discrete glass transition temperatures which matched the values for pure PPDO and PDLLA. SEM images of fracture surfaces displayed evidence of phase separation consistent with the DSC results. The contact angles increased with the addition of PDLLA. CONCLUSION: PPDO/PDLLA blends exhibit two distinct glass transition temperatures that remain nearly constant and correspond to the glass transition temperatures of the homopolymers for all blend compositions, indicating that blends of PPDO and PDLLA are immiscible. Images of the surface obtained using SEM were also suggestive of a two‐phase material. The crystallinity of the PPDO phase in the blends was affected by the PDLLA content. The mechanical properties of the blends changed dramatically with composition. Adding PDLLA makes the blends less hydrophilic than PPDO. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry
Human Antibody Responses to Epitopes on the Plasmodium Falciparum Gametocyte Antigen PFS 48/45 and their Relationship to Infectivity of Gametocyte Carriers (1992)

Antibodies in human sera recognizing epitopes I, IIa, III, and IV on the Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte antigen Pfs 48/45 have been investigated by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. More than one-third of the residents of three villages in Madang, Papua New Guinea responded to epitopes I, IIa and III, with little variation by village or with time. There was a bimodal distribution of positive sera by age, with the highest proportion of responders in the 5-9- and greater than 20-year-old age groups. The data suggest a lower prevalence of antibodies against epitopes IIa and III in P. falciparum gametocyte carriers than in non-carriers. Enhancement of binding of monoclonal antibodies to epitopes IIa and III was also observed more frequently with sera from gametocyte carriers. Sera from gametocyte carriers in Papua New Guinea and Thailand, whose infectivity to mosquitoes had been tested, were used to examine the relationship between recognition of particular epitopes and infectivity. There was a significant association between lack of infectivity of P. falciparum gametocyte carriers and recognition of epitope IIa on Pfs 48/45 by antibodies in their sera.
Effects of intravenous infusion of 17 amino acids on the secretion of GH, glucagon, and insulin in sheep (1991)

The effects of intravenous infusion of 17 amino acids, each at a dose of 3 mmol/kg over 30 min, on the secretion of insulin, glucagon, and growth hormone (GH) were studied in 6 castrated male sheep. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) secretion was also studied using eight of the amino acids. Plasma alpha-amino nitrogen reached a peak at 30 min followed by a gradual decrease thereafter. The greatest increase was obtained using aspartic acid and the smallest with methionine, responses to the remaining amino acids lying between these two. Leucine was the most effective amino acid in stimulating insulin secretion but did not produce any increase in glucagon and GH secretion. Alanine, glycine, and serine induced a greater enhancement of both glucagon and insulin secretion than other amino acids. No amino acid was able to specifically stimulate glucagon secretion without also increasing insulin or GH secretion. With regard to insulin and glucagon secretion, amino acids could be divided into groups according to their R groups. Neutral straight-chain amino acids stimulated both insulin and glucagon secretion, with a greater secretory response to shorter C-chain amino acids. Branched-chain amino acids tended to enhance insulin and suppress glucagon secretion. Acidic amino acids caused an increase in GH secretion. Aspartic acid caused the strongest stimulation of GH secretion, exceeding that induced by arginine. No changes in plasma IGF-I were brought about by any of the amino acids tested.
Multiplexed and distributed optical fibre sensor systems (1987)

An extensive review of multiplexed and distributed transduction techniques applicable for use with optical fibre sensors is given. Emphasis is placed on sensors that appear to show promise for engineering applications. However, several examples of scientifically interesting sensing concepts, more applicable to specialist laboratory instrumentation, have been included to give a balanced view of this rapidly expanding field.
Cleavage of Carbon−Carbon Bonds in Alkyl Cyanides Using Nickel(0) (2004)

The reaction of the complex [(dippe)NiH]2 (1) with a variety of alkyl cyanides afforded nickel(0) compounds of the type [(dippe)Ni(η2-RCN)], where R = Me, Et, Pr, iPr, tBu, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, adamantyl (2−9, respectively). When compounds 2−9 were warmed to yield oxidative addition products, the thermal reaction proceeded only in the case of 2 to produce [(dippe)Ni(Me)(CN)] (10). Photochemical activation did produce oxidative addition products from compounds 2−8, which rapidly evolved to the β-elimination products of the organic moiety in most cases and to the formation of [(dippe)Ni(CN)2] (11). Reaction of 1 with acetonitrile in the presence of BPh3 gives [(dippe)Ni(η2-MeCNBPh3)] (12), which does not undergo thermal C−CN cleavage upon heating. X-ray crystal structures are reported for 10−12.
Three-Party Quantum Authenticated Key Distribution with Partially Trusted Third Party (2008)

In this paper, a novel three-party quantum authenticated key distribution with a partially trusted third party protocol is proposed. Unlike most classical cryptography, the security of the protocol does not rely on the amount of computations required to find the encryption key, but on physical properties of the transmission medium (i.e., quantum mechanical properties). The session key shared between participants is concealed from the trusted third party while the participants trust the third party regarding the authentication part. Thus, the proposed system will be preferable for network systems in/between institutions, which deal with highly sensitive information (e.g., military bases, research facilities, hospitals).
Shooting from the heap: ultra-scalable static analysis with heap snapshots (2018)

Traditional whole-program static analysis (e.g., a points-to analysis that models the heap) encounters scalability problems for realistic applications. We propose a ``featherweight'' analysis that combines a dynamic snapshot of the heap with otherwise full static analysis of program behavior.
