Significance of the coenzyme Q system in the classification of yeasts and yeast-like organisms. XLIX. The phylogenetic relationships of the Q6-equipped species in the teleomorphic apiculate yeast genera Hanseniaspora, Nadsonia, and Saccharomycodes based on the partial sequences of 18S and 26S ribosomal ribonucleic acids. (1992)

Eleven strains of species in the apiculate yeast genera Hanseniaspora, Nadsonia, and Saccharomycodes were examined for partial base sequence determinations of 18S and 26S rRNAs. In the partial base sequence of 26S rRNA (positions 493-622, 130 bases), percent similarities were 65-79, 76-84, and 70-76 between the genera Hanseniaspora and Nadsonia, the genera Hanseniaspora and Saccharomycodes, and the genera Nadsonia and Saccharomycodes, respectively. These apiculate yeasts showed 72-85 percent similarity with S. cerevisiae. In the partial base sequences of 26S rRNA (positions 1611-1835, 225 bases) and of 18S rRNA (positions 1451-1618, 168 bases), the number of base differences was calculated to be 38-26, 27-9, and 30-23, and 12-8, 11-5, and 13-8 between the above-mentioned genera, respectively. These apiculate yeasts showed 33-9, and 12-4 base differences, respectively, with S. cerevisiae. The three apiculate yeast genera were recognized phylogenetically based on the sequence data obtained. Some discussions were made, especially on dividing the members of the genus Hanseniaspora into two groups at the generic level.
Endometrial cysteine-rich secretory protein 3 is inhibited by human chorionic gonadotrophin, and is increased in the decidua of tubal ectopic pregnancy (2009)

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) remains a considerable cause of morbidity and occasional mortality. Currently, there is no reliable test to differentiate ectopic from intrauterine gestation. We have previously used array technology to demonstrate that differences in gene expression in decidualized endometrium from women with ectopic and intrauterine gestations could be used to identify candidate diagnostic biomarkers for EP. The aim of this study was to further investigate the decidual gene with the highest fold increase in EP, cysteine-rich secretory protein-3 (CRISP-3). Decidualized endometrium from gestation-matched women undergoing surgical termination of pregnancy (n = 8), evacuation of uterus for miscarriage (n = 6) and surgery for EP (n = 11) was subjected to quantitative RT-PCR, morphological assessment, immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Sera were analysed for progesterone and human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) levels. Immortalized endometrial epithelial cells were cultured with physiological concentrations of hCG. CRISP-3 mRNA and protein expression were greater in endometrium from ectopic when compared with intrauterine pregnancies (P < 0.05). CRISP-3 protein was localized to epithelium and granulocytes of endometrium. CRISP-3 serum concentrations were not different in women with ectopic compared with intrauterine pregnancies. CRISP-3 expression in endometrium was not related to the degree of decidualization or to serum progesterone levels. Endometrial CRISP-3 expression was inversely proportional to serum hCG concentrations (P < 0.001). Stimulation of endometrial epithelial cells with hCG in vitro caused a reduction in CRISP-3 expression (P < 0.01). The measurement of CRISP-3 in endometrium could provide an additional tool in the diagnosis of failing early pregnancy of unknown location. The absence of a local reduction in expression of CRISP-3 in decidualized endometrium of women with EP may be due to reduced exposure to hCG due to the ectopic location of the trophoblast.
Synbiotics‐supplemented amino acid‐based formula supports adequate growth in cow's milk allergic infants (2015)

This is the first study that shows that an AAF with a specific synbiotic blend, suitable for CMA infants, supports normal growth and growth similar to the AAF without synbiotics. This clinical trial is registered as NCT00664768.
Nematicidal Activity of Fatty Acid Esters on Soybean Cyst and Root-knot Nematodes. (1997)

Researchers have indicated that the C fatty acid, pelargonic acid (nonanoic acid), has considerable nematicidal activity that could be increased by derivitization and improved emulsification. Microemulsions of methyl and ethylene glycol esters of pelargonic acid developed by Mycogen Corporation (San Diego, CA) were tested for nematicidal activity against root-knot and soybean cyst nematodes. All treamaents were compared to a deionized water control and a microemulsion "blank" (minus active ingredient). Methyl pelargonate reduced gall numbers at concentrations >/=0.8 mul a.i./liter, and ethylene glycol pelargonate reduced gall numbers at >/=6.4 mul a.i./liter in a laboratory bioassay of Meloidogyne javanica on roots of tomato seedlings. Microscopic observation of treated M. javanica second-stage juveniles suggested that methyl pelargonate was toxic to nematodes at concentrations as low as 0.2 mul a.i./liter. Cysts of Heterodera glycines per gram of root were significantly reduced by weekly soil drenches of methyl pelargonate at 6.4, 3.2, and 1.6 mul a.i./liter compared to controls in one greenhouse experiment. Weekly soil drenches of methyl pelargonate at 4.8 or 3.2 mu1 a.i./liter also significantly reduced the number of eggs produced by M. incognita on soybean in a greenhouse test. In both greenhouse tests with soybean, rates of methyl pelargonate >/=4.8 mul a.i./liter had considerable phytotoxicity. No significant interaction of chemical treatment and different soil mixtures affected the nematode numbers produced or plant vigor observed. Soil drenches with microemulsions of methyl pelargonate at 3.2 mul a.i./liter applied weekly, or as two initial applications, were effective as a nematicide for root-knot and soybean cyst nematodes with negligible effects on plant vigor.
QoS Provisioning Spectrum Management Based on Intelligent Matching and Reservation for Cognitive Radio System (2007)

To improve spectrum utilization, cognitive radio attempts to use temporarily unoccupied spectrum which is referred to spectrum hole in cognitive radio. In this paper, we introduce novel spectrum management algorithms for cognitive radio. We introduce a heuristic matching algorithms which is named cost minimized matching. The heuristic algorithm proposed in this paper outperforms the general random matching algorithm with respect to the expected number of handovers and handover probability fairness. Also, the spectrum hole reservation algorithm minimizes service dropping while using optimum amount of resource, and it realizes seamless service by eliminating delay generated due to spectrum change. Performance analysis and computer simulations validate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms. The proposed algorithms can be efficiently used in cognitive radio systems.
The Medical Significance of Prostaglandins (1974)

In 1930, Kurzrok and Lieb,<sup>1</sup>New York gynecologists, while studying the effects of seminal fluid on the human uterus, observed some of the muscle-stimulating actions of "prostaglandins." In the mid-1930s, Goldblatt<sup>2</sup>in England and von Euler<sup>3</sup>in Sweden independently described some of the actions of seminal plasma on smooth muscle; and von Euler, obtaining his material from seminal fluid and from lipid extracts of sheep vesicular glands coined the term "prostaglandin." The misnomer has continued, but it is now known that prostaglandins are present in most biological tissues and fluids. The newly discoverd compounds languished for a period of some 20 years until improvement in technology and renewed interest on the part of Sune Bergström resulted in the crystallization of two prostaglandins reported by Bergström and Sjövall in 1960.<sup>4</sup> The finding by von Euler (structures later defined by Bergström), that the active compounds in seminal fluid
Yield Monitoring System for a Head-Feeding Combine (2006)

This paper introduces a yield-monitoring system that was developed for a head-feeding combine. If yield variations could be measured during harvesting, data could be used to evaluate management history and provide useful information for planning fertilizer applications and management for the following year. First, we studied the yield-monitoring system and used a hybrid yield-monitoring method that involved an optical sensor and load cell. This monitoring method reduced the measurement error, and was useful in practical applications of site-specific crop management. We then assessed the gap between harvesting and yield-monitoring positions. Yield measured in the grain tank could be converted into yield at the harvesting position by correcting the measured yield with a constant that was determined by the relative position (weighted proportional distribution method) based on the experimental results. Finally, an efficient yield-monitoring system for a head-feeding combine was developed, incorporating our sensing and analyzing methods. It was possible to obtain yield data when normally operating a head-feeding combine that was equipped with our system. The resulting map was equivalent to a yield map generated through quadrate sampling. The estimated error of the system was about 10%.
Phenomenological analysis for spin-Seebeck effect in metallic magnets (2009)

The two-band spin diffusion model has been extended to nonequilibrium systems to investigate the recently discovered spin-Seebeck effect in a ferromagnetic metal. A calculation using this model well reproduces the experimental results for a Ni81Fe19 film; the gradient of electrochemical potential is different between up- and down-spin bands affected by a temperature difference between the ends of the film.
Respiratory virus infections and aeroallergens in acute bronchial asthma. (1984)

Two hundred and fifty six attacks of acute bronchial asthma occurring in 169 children aged over 2 years were studied during a two year period. More attacks occurred during spring and autumn than at other times of the year. In 73 patients (29%) a respiratory virus infection was diagnosed, with the same seasonal variation as the asthmatic attacks. Most of the virus infections were caused by rhinovirus (45%) and respiratory syncytial virus (19%). There was no significant correlation between asthmatic attacks in patients with birch pollen, grass pollen, or Cladosporium herbarum allergy and counts of the respective pollen or spores in the air. More seasonal attacks occurred in patients with cladosporium allergy than in patients without cladosporium allergy but there was no seasonal variation among birch or grass pollen allergic patients. Information about exposure to animals was obtained in only 12% of attacks occurring in 121 patients with allergy to animal dander. The single precipitating factor most frequently associated with acute asthma was respiratory virus infection.
Carrier localization and nonradiative recombination in yellow emitting InGaN quantum wells (2010)

InGaN quantum wells, with luminescence in the yellow region of the visible spectrum, have been studied using conventional and time-resolved cathodoluminescence. We observe the absence of strong localization effects and a relatively high internal quantum efficiency of ∼12%, which are unexpected for InGaN in this-long wavelength emission range. We have also observed a steady decrease of the peak emission energy, and a continuous increase in the radiative recombination lifetime with temperature up to 100 K. These two features are manifestations of recombination due to nonlocalized excitons. Nonradiative recombination centers, with activation energy of ∼6 meV, appear to constitute the main mechanism limiting the internal quantum efficiency of these films.
Scintillation from Eu <sup>2+</sup> in Nanocrystallized Glass (2009)

A Eu 2+ ‐doped SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 –CaO–CaF 2 glass was prepared and converted into a transparent glass ceramic by heat treatment. The crystalline phase and its size were determined by X‐ray diffraction and a transmission electron microscopy. The scintillation of Eu 2+ ions in both glass and ceramic under X‐ray excitation was investigated and compared with that in a single‐crystal scintillator.

Thick-Strained-Si/Relaxed-SiGe Structure of High-Performance RF Power LDMOSFETs for Cellular Handsets (2006)

A strained-Si/relaxed-SiGe structure was applied to laterally diffused MOSFETs (LDMOSFETs) in order to improve the PAE of cellular handset RF power-amplifier applications. The LDMOSFETs were fabricated in a 70-nm-thick strained-Si/relaxed-Si <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.85</sub> Ge <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.15</sub> structure. Despite the appearance of misfit dislocations, the thick strained-Si was essential for high efficiency and low leakage. The self-heating effects on the power performance were estimated to be negligible by using dynamic thermal simulation. The devices exhibited 46.6% PAE at a P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">out</sub> of 27.5 dBm for wideband code-division multiple-access handset applications, which was a 3.8-point improvement over Si controls
Liver Injury After Invariant NKT Cell Activation by Free Alpha-galactosylceramide and Alpha-galactosylceramide-loaded Dendritic Cells. (2016)

DCG treatment did not induce lethal liver injury. CD31(+) EC may play an antigen-presenting role to iNKT cells after αGalCer treatment and may be a cause of lethal injury.
Targeted genome regulation and modification using transcription activator‐like effectors (2014)

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are immensely powerful new tools for genome engineering that can be directed to bind to almost any DNA sequence of choice. They originate from the Xanthomonas species of plant pathogenic bacteria and, in nature, these proteins increase the virulence of Xanthomonas. However, in 2009, the DNA binding code of TALEs was deciphered and, subsequently, TALE proteins have been exploited for many diverse applications. Custom TALEs that target almost any required DNA sequence can be readily constructed in < 1 week. One major application is gene editing: TALEs fused with the Fok I endonuclease catalytic domain can induce double-stranded breaks at a chosen genomic location, similar to zinc finger nucleases. Designer TALE transcription factors have also been developed by linking TALEs to a transcription AD, such as VP64. More recently, TALEs have been developed that can repress transcription, bind methylated DNA or act as fluorescent chromatin probes. In the present review, we describe the assembly of designer TALEs, their expanding range of current and potential future applications, and briefly discuss alternatives, namely, zinc finger nucleases and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat associated protein 9.
New Insights Into the MVDR Beamformer in Room Acoustics (2009)

The minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, also known as Capon's beamformer, is widely studied in the area of speech enhancement. The MVDR beamformer can be used for both speech dereverberation and noise reduction. This paper provides new insights into the MVDR beamformer. Specifically, the local and global behavior of the MVDR beamformer is analyzed and novel forms of the MVDR filter are derived and discussed. In earlier works it was observed that there is a tradeoff between the amount of speech dereverberation and noise reduction when the MVDR beamformer is used. Here, the tradeoff between speech dereverberation and noise reduction is analyzed thoroughly. The local and global behavior, as well as the tradeoff, is analyzed for different noise fields such as, for example, a mixture of coherent and non-coherent noise fields, entirely non-coherent noise fields and diffuse noise fields. It is shown that maximum noise reduction is achieved when the MVDR beamformer is used for noise reduction only. The amount of noise reduction that is sacrificed when complete dereverberation is required depends on the direct-to-reverberation ratio of the acoustic impulse response between the source and the reference microphone. The performance evaluation supports the theoretical analysis and demonstrates the tradeoff between speech dereverberation and noise reduction. When desiring both speech dereverberation and noise reduction, the results also demonstrate that the amount of noise reduction that is sacrificed decreases when the number of microphones increases.
Determination of HPV type 16 and 18 viral load in cervical smears of women referred to colposcopy (2006)

It has been recognized that human papillomavirus infection is the major causal factor for high-grade cervical lesions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between HPV 16 and 18 viral loads and cervical status in different age strata. A duplex real time PCR method was devised to determine HPV 16 and 18 viral load per million of human cells using an in house plasmidic construct as a standard of quantification. The 151 cervical scrapes were collected before colposcopic examination from either abnormal cervico-vaginal smear (group 1, 97 patients) or from post treatment clinical follow-up (group 2, 54 patients). In women aged 30-40, the HPV16 viral loads were significantly higher in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion than in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in both groups and HPV18 in group 1. In women aged 20-30 of group 1, high HPV viral load was associated in few cases with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, and surprisingly in some patients with normal cervix. HPV 16 and 18 viral loads are related to the severity of cervical lesion, and may be useful in the clinical management of cervical lesions. A specific follow-up may be useful for those with high viral load despite normal cervix.
Protective Effects of a Novel Nonglucocorticoid 21-Aminosteroid (U74006F) During Traumatic Shock in Rats (1990)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the nonglucocorticoid steroid U74006F in the pathogenesis of a murine traumatic shock model. Pentobarbital-anesthetized (40 mg/kg) rats were subjected to Noble-Collip drum trauma and developed a lethal shock state characterized by a decreased mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) to 67 +/- 2 mm Hg and survival time (1.5 +/- 0.2 h). In contrast, sham trauma rats exhibited a MABP of 122 +/- 4 mm Hg at 5 h postanesthesia. Administration of U74006F at doses of 22.5 mg/kg at 15 to 20 min following trauma significantly maintained a higher MABP and prolonged survival compared to those trauma rats receiving only the vehicle for U74006F (0.002 N HCl). U74006F at 15 and 22.5 mg/kg prolonged survival time to 2.6 +/- 0.3 (p less than 0.05) and 3.1 +/- 0.6 h (p less than 0.02), respectively. U74006F also significantly attenuated the plasma accumulation of cathepsin D (p less than 0.02 to p less than 0.01) and free amino-nitrogen compounds (p less than 0.01) compared to the rats receiving only vehicle. Additionally, U74006F at 15 and 22.5 mg/kg blunted the production of the cardiotoxic peptide, myocardial depressant factor (MDF) (p less than 0.01 to p less than 0.001). Moreover, U74006F is a steroid without significant glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid activity. These results suggest that U74006F may be useful as a therapeutic agent in traumatic shock.
Pathway to 50% efficient inverted metamorphic concentrator solar cells (2017)

Series-connected five (5J) and six junction (6J) concentrator solar cell strategies have the realistic potential to exceed 50% efficiency to enable low-cost CPV systems. We propose three strategies for developing a practical 6J device. We have overcome many of the challenges required to build such concentrator solar cell devices: We have developed 2.1 eV AlGaInP, 1.7 eV AlGaAs, and 1.7 eV GaInAsP junctions with external radiative efficiency greater than 0.1%. We have developed a transparent tunnel junction that absorbs minimal light intended for the second junction yet resists degradation under thermal load. We have developed metamorphic grades from the GaAs to the InP lattice constant that are transparent to sub-GaAs bandgap light. We have grown and compared low bandgap junctions (0.7eV – 1.2 eV) using metamorphic GaInAs, metamorphic GaInAsP, and GaInAsP lattice-matched to InP. And finally, we have demonstrated excellent performance in a high voltage, low current 4 junction inverted metamorphic device using 2.1, 1.7, 1.4, and 1.1 eV junctions with over 8.7 mA/cm2 one-sun current density that operates up to 1000 suns without tunnel junction failure.
TSIT: A Simple and Versatile Framework for Image-to-Image Translation (2020)

We introduce a simple and versatile framework for image-to-image translation. We unearth the importance of normalization layers, and provide a carefully designed two-stream generative model with newly proposed feature transformations in a coarse-to-fine fashion. This allows multi-scale semantic structure information and style representation to be effectively captured and fused by the network, permitting our method to scale to various tasks in both unsupervised and supervised settings. No additional constraints (e.g., cycle consistency) are needed, contributing to a very clean and simple method. Multi-modal image synthesis with arbitrary style control is made possible. A systematic study compares the proposed method with several state-of-the-art task-specific baselines, verifying its effectiveness in both perceptual quality and quantitative evaluations.
Active nutation control for spinning solid motor upper stages (1985)

This paper discusses the application of a hydrazine-fueled, aftfacing thruster with pulses synchronized so as to neutralize coning on spin-stabilized rockets. Often used during long quiescent coast periods, the development of a more powerful system for overcoming dynamic-coupled disturbances during solid rocket burning is discussed. The contribution of vehicle modeling, disturbance characterization, and stabilizing models is shown, followed by evolution of the hardware from system requirements through flight results.
