The alternative oxidase lowers mitochondrial reactive oxygen production in plant cells (1999)

Besides the cytochrome c pathway, plant mitochondria have an alternative respiratory pathway that is comprised of a single homodimeric protein, alternative oxidase (AOX). Transgenic cultured tobacco cells with altered levels of AOX were used to test the hypothesis that the alternative pathway in plant mitochondria functions as a mechanism to decrease the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during respiratory electron transport. Using the ROS-sensitive probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate, we found that antisense suppression of AOX resulted in cells with a significantly higher level of ROS compared with wild-type cells, whereas the overexpression of AOX resulted in cells with lower ROS abundance. Laser-scanning confocal microscopy showed that the difference in ROS abundance among wild-type and AOX transgenic cells was caused by changes in mitochondrial-specific ROS formation. Mitochondrial ROS production was exacerbated by the use of antimycin A, which inhibited normal cytochrome electron transport. In addition, cells overexpressing AOX were found to have consistently lower expression of genes encoding ROS-scavenging enzymes, including the superoxide dismutase genes SodA and SodB, as well as glutathione peroxidase. Also, the abundance of mRNAs encoding salicylic acid-binding catalase and a pathogenesis-related protein were significantly higher in cells deficient in AOX. These results are evidence that AOX plays a role in lowering mitochondrial ROS formation in plant cells.
Layered Cobalt Hydroxysulfates with Both Rigid and Flexible Organic Pillars:  Synthesis, Structure, Porosity, and Cooperative Magnetism (2001)

The synthesis and characterization of two members of a family of porous magnetic materials is described. The structures of Co4(SO4)(OH)6(C2N2H8)0.5*3H2O and Co4(SO4)(OH)6(C6N2H12)0.5*H2O and their thermal stability can be tailored via the choice of organic pillar. The interactions between the pillaring agent and the compositionally complex inorganic layer are discussed. The influences of two pillaring agents i.e., the flexible ethylenediamine and the relatively rigid 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane, on thermal stability, rigidity upon guest loss, and magnetic behavior of the pillared solids are compared. The magnetism of the pillared layered cobalt hydroxides is complex due to the influences of multiple metal sites, inter- and intralayer exchange, spin-orbit coupling, and geometrical frustration. The wide variety of potential pillars, oxyanions, and possible metal substitutions at the octahedral and tetrahedral sites offers the possibility of tailoring the magnetic and porous properties of these materials.

Transfer RNA Misidentification Scrambles Sense Codon Recoding (2013)

Sense codon recoding is the basis for genetic code expansion with more than two different noncanonical amino acids. It requires an unused (or rarely used) codon, and an orthogonal tRNA synthetase:tRNA pair with the complementary anticodon. The Mycoplasma capricolum genome contains just six CGG arginine codons, without a dedicated tRNA(Arg). We wanted to reassign this codon to pyrrolysine by providing M. capricolum with pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase, a synthetic tRNA with a CCG anticodon (tRNA(Pyl)(CCG)), and the genes for pyrrolysine biosynthesis. Here we show that tRNA(Pyl)(CCG) is efficiently recognized by the endogenous arginyl-tRNA synthetase, presumably at the anticodon. Mass spectrometry revealed that in the presence of tRNA(Pyl)(CCG), CGG codons are translated as arginine. This result is not unexpected as most tRNA synthetases use the anticodon as a recognition element. The data suggest that tRNA misidentification by endogenous aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases needs to be overcome for sense codon recoding.
A multidirectional system for shape measurement of a human body in motion (2018)

We present a novel approach to 4D (XYZ + time) body scanning, developed for supporting medical rehabilitation monitoring. The system reflects the actual requirements for 4D measurements, providing a feature of capturing up to 120 Hz sequences of point clouds, with a spatial resolution of 1.0 mm and inaccuracy of 0.5 mm. The presented system consists of four directional modules arranged evenly around the measurement volume to provide complete scans. A structured light method is utilized, therefore each directional module consists of detectors and projectors. In order to enhance body surface coverage from every direction each measurement module uses two detectors and a single projector. This configuration is a result of optimizing the best scanning results considering proper amount of data and a reasonable number of hardware elements (that translates into system price). For the chosen number of directional modules a problem of synchronization (projected patterns overlapping is highly erroneous) was solved. We decided to apply spectral separation in a form of colored projection and color filters. This solution allows each detector to register only the pattern associated with it. A single frame pattern for structured light method was used to achieve presented measurement frequency. A set of algorithms was developed in order to perform all processing steps, including phase unwrapping, based only on a single image per detector. The final phase distribution is scaled into XYZ coordinates, therefore an extended common calibration process was introduced to receive a single multidirectional cloud as the output. The system is able to reconstruct dynamic objects in the form of point clouds, where each point, aside from XYZ coordinates, also contains an information about it’s normal vector. The future work will include improving the system accuracy and error-resistance.
Pregnancy and travel. (1998)

Poor quality medical care in some countries is an important concern, because of a lack of sterile equipment and lack of screening of blood products The safest time for travel is 18-24 weeks--after the risk of miscarriage and unpleasant nausea, but before problems such as premature labour Women with a previous history of miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy should be advised against travelling to countries where medical care is poor After 28 weeks a doctor's letter may be required before an airline will allow a pregnant woman to fly On board an aircraft, pregnant women should walk around the cabin at least once an hour to minimise the risk of deep vein thrombosis Malaria in pregnancy can be severe for both mother and fetus: chloroquine and proguanil have a long safety record Mefloquine is contraindicated in the first trimester and doxycycline should be avoided during pregnancy.
Sensitization of Near‐Infrared‐Emitting Lanthanide Cations in Solution by Tropolonate Ligands (2005)

One ligand, five NIR-emitting complexes: Tropolonate (trp) ligands sensitize the near-infrared emission of several lanthanide (LnIII) ions upon formation of [Ln(trp)4]− complexes (Ln=Nd, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb; see emission spectra). The solid-state structures and solution-state photophysical properties of the [Ln(trp)4]− complexes have been characterized.

Pro- and anti-fibrotic effects of TGF-  in scleroderma (2008)

The University of California at Davis 200 and 206 (UCD-200/206) lines of chickens have proven to be the animal model that best reflects the situation in human SSc. We have demonstrated a misbalance of pro-fibrotic (TGF-beta1) and anti-fibrotic (TGF-beta2 and -beta3) TGF-beta isoforms as a possible cause for fibrotic alterations in this model. This opens new avenues for diagnosis and therapy for this still intractable condition.
Formal verification of standards for distance vector routing protocols (2002)

We show how to use an interactive theorem prover, HOL, together with a model checker, SPIN, to prove key properties of distance vector routing protocols. We do three case studies: correctness of the RIP standard, a sharp real-time bound on RIP stability, and preservation of loop-freedom in AODV, a distance vector protocol for wireless networks. We develop verification techniques suited to routing protocols generally. These case studies show significant benefits from automated support in reduced verification workload and assistance in finding new insights and gaps for standard specifications.
Experimental pressure evaluation near a sail leading edge under real conditions (1994)

Abstract The aerodynamic condition corresponding to the optimum sail trim has been long debated; in the present note this aerodynamic aspect of the sails is studied by means of pressure measurements near the sail leading-edge. By analysing the pressure acting on the leading edge zone it can be evidenced that, when the sail is “optimally” trimmed, it is actually in the aerodynamic condition corresponding to the ideal angle of attack.
Digital photogrammetry: comparison of digital orthophoto based on different dataset of digital images of aerial photograph (2008)

Data is an essential component in Geographic Information System (GIS), where it represents 70% of GIS. There are many techniques to acquire GIS data such as field work, photogrammetry, remote sensing, Global Positioning System (GPS) and source from existing data (primary data). Photogrammetry is one of the technique of data gathering and has become the earliest data source in topographic mapping. Photogrammetry has evolved from analogue to digital technique parallel with the development in digital camera technology. Orthophoto is one of the output of photogrammetry. Orthophoto can be produced from large format and small format aerial photo. This study is carried out to compare orthophoto between large and small format aerial photo. For large format aerial photo, two photographs are used. However, for small format aerial photo, about 20 photographs are used to cover the same area of the large format and the aerial triangulation procedure has to be carried out for the small format aerial photo. The processing of aerial photo processing was carried out using digital photogrammetry technique and ERDAS IMAGINE 8.6 software. The orthophoto were compared from the aspect of visualization, accuracy, time and cost to produce it. Results from this study showed that the orthophoto produced from large format aerial photograph (RMSE Â±0.676m) is much better than orthophoto produced from small format aerial photograph (RMSE Â±2.321m). In this study, it can also be concluded that the product from small format aerial photograph can be used for GIS application if the required accuracy is not so important and when large format aerial photography is not feasible to be executed.
Evaluation of the Calhoun Vision UV Light Adjustable Lens Implanted Following Cataract Removal (2010)

Phosphonopeptides as Antibacterial Agents: Rationale, Chemistry, and Structure-Activity Relationships (1979)

Peptide mimetics with C-terminal residues simulating natural amino acids have been designed as inhibitors of bacterial cell wall biosynthesis. The phosphonopeptide series consisting of various l and d residues of natural amino acids combined with 1-aminoalkyl (and aryl-alkyl-) phosphonic acid residues had the most interesting antibacterial properties when the C-terminal residue was l-1-aminoethylphosphonic acid. The in vitro antibacterial activities of representative phosphonodi- to phosphonohexapeptides were investigated. The antibacterial action of the active compounds has been explained in terms of transport into the bacterial cell and intracellular release of the alanine mimetic, which interferes with the biosynthesis of the peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall.
Principal Component Analysis Calibration Method for Dual-Luminophore Oxygen and Temperature Sensor Films:  Application to Luminescence Imaging (2005)

Oxygen sensor films are frequently used to image air-pressure distributions on surfaces in aerodynamic wind tunnels. In this application, the sensor film is referred to as a pressure-sensitive paint (PSP). A Stern-Volmer calibration is used to relate the emission intensity ratio of a long-lifetime luminescent dye (the pressure-sensitive luminophore, PSL) to surface air pressure. A major problem in PSP measurements arises because the Stern-Volmer calibration of the PSL's emission varies with temperature. To correct for the temperature dependence, a second luminescent dye that has an emission that varies with temperature (the temperature-sensitive luminophore, TSL) is incorporated into the sensor film. With such a dual-luminophore PSP (DL-PSP), it is possible to measure the surface-temperature distribution with the TSL emission, and this information is then used to correct the temperature dependence of the PSL's pressure response. In the present article, we report the application of a DL-PSP to obtain high-resolution air-pressure distributions on a surface that is subjected to a 20 degrees C temperature gradient. Two different calibration methods are used to generate surface-temperature and air-pressure distributions from the luminescence imaging data, and a quantitative comparison of the results obtained from the two methods is provided. The first method is based on an intensity-ratio calibration that uses luminescence images collected at two wavelengths, one corresponding to the TSL emission and the second corresponding to the PSL emission. The second method is based on principal component analysis (PCA) of luminescence images obtained at four wavelengths throughout the spectral region of the TSL and PSL emission (hyperspectral imaging, 550-750 nm). The results demonstrate that the PCA method allows the measurement of surface air pressure with higher accuracy and precision compared to those of the intensity-ratio method. The improvement is especially significant at pressures near 1 atm, where the temperature interference is most pronounced. Surface-pressure distributions are measured with comparable accuracy and precision with the two methods.

Desulfurization of Gas Oil by Modified Clinoptilolite (2007)

The objective of this research is to find an economically attractive alternative method for hydrodesulfurization of petroleum fractions and to select a suitable adsorbent for this process.Deep desulfurization of transportation fuels (gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels) is being mandated by governments and is also needed for future fuel cell applications. However, it is extremely difficult and costly to achieve with current technology, which requires catalytic reactors operated at high pressure and temperature. Zeolites are a family of crystalline aluminosilicate minerals. About fifty natural zeolites are now known and more than one hundred and fifty have been synthesized. Clinoptilolite is a naturally occurring zeolite, formed by the diversification of volcanic ash in lake and marine waters millions of years ago. It is the most researched of all zeolites and is widely regarded as the most useful. It is an abundant natural zeolite. We show that Hg+2 and Ag+ clinoptilolite can adsorb sulfur compounds from commercial fuels selectively and with high capacities. The desulfurization of 83.60 % by Ag+ clinoptilolite at liquid to solid ratio of 50/100 gr.ml-1, 353 K ,and flow rate of 3.0 ml.min-1 was obtained
Accurate Structural Control and Block Formation in the Living Polymerization of 1,3-Dienes by Nitroxide-Mediated Procedures (2000)

The living free radical polymerization of 1,3-dienes, such as isoprene and 1,3-butadiene, has been shown to be a facile process in the presence of alkoxyamine initiators based on a 2,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-3-azahexane-3-oxy, 2, skeleton. These α-hydrido nitroxide derivatives were able to control the homopolymerization to high conversion and molecular weights from 1000 to 100 000 amu with polydispersities of 1.06−1.15 readily obtained. Block and random copolymers based on combinations of 1,3-dienes with a variety of functionalized vinyl monomers, such as styrene, acrylate, or methacrylate derivatives, could also be prepared with similar control. In comparison with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinoxy (TEMPO), these new systems represent a dramatic improvement in the ability to control the polymerization of 1,3-dienes and further demonstrate the versatility of nitroxide-mediated living free radical procedures.
Formate dehydrogenase from methylotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. 101: gene cloning and expression in Escherichia coli (1993)

Using two degenerate 20- and 23-mer oligonucleotide probes, the gene encoding NAD(+)-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) (EC 1.2.1.2) was shown to lie within a 3.5 kb PstI fragment of the chromosomal DNA of methylotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. 101. A phasmid library was prepared in the lambda pSL5 vector with partial EcoRI-digested DNA from Pseudomonas sp. 101. The 12 clones selected contained three types of phasmid: lambda pFDH1, lambda pFDH2 and lambda pFDH3 (with inserts of 15, 17.6 and 18.5 kb respectively). The inserts contained the same 15 kb EcoRI and 3.5 kb PstI fragments and included the complete FDH gene. Further subcloning of the insert resulted in plasmid pFDH2 and a 2.32 kb HindIII-BgIII fragment. Active enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli TG1 (pFDH2) strain under control of a lac promoter.
Automated Ride Share Selection Using Vehicular Area Networks (2009)

This paper considers the possible application of ride share services in vehicular area networks. We propose a system architecture and protocol for this specific application using the vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to road (V2R) communications. We present how the system would integrate with the current VANET infrastructure and the On-Board Unit, and present algorithms for selection of ride share options. We also present simulation scenarios and theoretical analysis of the likelihood of finding an acceptable ride share option using the proposed system, and analyze the expected network overhead caused by the system.
The physics of disk lubricant in the continuum picture (2005)

Molecular dynamics simulation would be well suited to predict the physics of molecularly-thick lubricants on magnetic disk surfaces. The difficulty in defining suitable interatomic potentials, as well as the requirement for large computing power, makes this type of study difficult. Treating the lubricant film in the framework of fluid dynamics has proven a much better way to model its behavior. This paper describes a full numerical model of lubricant moguls and ripples formation using finite difference analysis. We demonstrate that both moguls and ripples result from slider-induced air shear. Ripples tend to form at higher disk speed and narrower slider width, whereas moguls are seen at lower speed and larger slider width. Both moguls and ripples are enhanced for thicker lubricants, higher waviness, and lower flying heights. Ripple instabilities that were predicted earlier using a stability analysis are also quantitatively confirmed using this numerical model.
The bonding behavior of calcite to bone (1991)

Plates of calcite (CaCO3) were implanted in rabbit tibiae, and their biocompatibility and bonding ability to bone were studied. The plates were also implanted subfascially in rabbit muscle for 8 weeks, and changes on their surfaces in the body were examined. Contact microradiography and Giemsa surface stain demonstrated direct bonding between calcite and bone without interpositions. The average failure load of the interface between calcite and bone was 4.11 kg, indicating an adequate strength of bonding. However, a Ca-P-rich layer, which formed on the surfaces of other bioactive ceramics in vivo, was not detected by a scanning electron microscope-electron probe x-ray microanalyzer. Scanning electron micrographs of the surface of calcite implanted subfascially for 8 weeks showed marked degradation and a rough surface. However, the surface apatite layer was not detected by thin-film x-ray diffraction analysis and Fourier transform infrared reflection spectroscopy. Calcite is a biodegradable material that bonds to bone without a surface apatite layer. The mechanical bonding provided by the anchoring effect of the newly formed bone into the surface roughness of calcite is considered to be a major factor in calcite-bone bonding.
