Email Governance: Are Companies in Financial Industries More Mature? (2012)

Emails have drastically changed the way companies and employees communicate. Some Emails are business-relevant and have to be kept for documentation, external and internal audits, and for legal evidence. Many companies defined rules for handling Emails to comply with external and internal requirements. In this paper we describe indicators for good Email practices and develop a maturity model by weighting these indicators. We sent questionnaires concerning Email policies to the largest German and Swiss companies. The resulting data set was used to analyze whether there are significant differences in the maturity of Email governance between companies belonging to the financial industries and other companies. For many indicators we found that companies belonging to the financial industries look more mature from a descriptive point of view, some differences are also statistically significant. After computing aggregate maturity scores we found a highly significant difference between the two groups of companies.

Beta A4-amyloid protein precursor mRNA isoforms without exon 15 are ubiquitously expressed in rat tissues including brain, but not in neurons. (1994)

The beta A4-amyloid protein precursor (APP), the source of the beta A4-amyloid deposits found in Alzheimer brains, constitutes a family of transmembrane glycoproteins generated by alternative splicing. While exon 7 and exon 8 are well known to be alternatively spliced, APP mRNA isoforms without exon 15 were only recently identified in leukocytes and rat brain microglial cells and therefore denoted as L-APP mRNAs. In order to perform a detailed analysis of individual L-APP mRNA isoforms in perfused rat tissues, we developed a quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay from reverse transcribed RNA allowing us to analyze the alternatively spliced region in between exon 6 and 16. In all peripheral tissues examined, L-APP mRNA isoforms were detected comprising between 25% (skeletal muscle) and about 70% (aorta, pancreas) of total APP transcripts. All four possible APP mRNA isoforms without exon 15 were shown to exist, i.e. L-APP752, L-APP733, L-APP696, and L-APP677. L-APP expression in the central nervous system (approximately 4% of total APP mRNA) was then studied in more detail by analyzing different brain regions and tissues and primary cultured brain cells. The only cell type which was shown not to express L-APP mRNA to a detectable level is the neuronal cell. Ubiquitous expression of APP mRNAs lacking exon 15 except for neurons indicates an important function in non-neuronal cells and is especially remarkable since neurons are the primarily affected cells in Alzheimer's disease.

Efficient Repair of All Types of Single-Base Mismatches in Recombination Intermediates in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells: Competition Between Long-Patch and G-T Glycosylase-Mediated Repair of G-T Mismatches (1998)

Repair of all 12 single-base mismatches in recombination intermediates was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Extrachromosomal recombination was stimulated by double-strand breaks in regions of shared homology. Recombination was predicted to occur via single-strand annealing, yielding heteroduplex DNA (hDNA) with a single mismatch. Nicks were expected on opposite strands flanking hDNA, equidistant from the mismatch. Unlike studies of covalently closed artificial hDNA substrates, all mismatches were efficiently repaired, consistent with a nick-driven repair process. The average repair efficiency for all mispairs was 92%, with no significant differences among mispairs. There was significant strand-independent repair of G-T --> G-C, with a slightly greater bias in a CpG context. Repair of C-A was also biased (toward C-G), but no A-C --> G-C bias was found, a possible sequence context effect. No other mismatches showed evidence of biased repair, but among hetero-mismatches, the trend was toward retention of C or G vs. A or T. Repair of both T-T and G-T mismatches was much less efficient in mismatch repair-deficient cells (approximately 25%), and the residual G-T repair was completely biased toward G-C. Our data indicate that single-base mismatches in recombination intermediates are substrates for at least two competing repair systems.
Orientation isomers of the mitomycin C interstrand cross-link in non-self-complementary DNA. Differential effect of the two isomers on restriction endonuclease cleavage at a nearby site (1993)

Reductively activated mitomycin C (MC) forms DNA interstrand cross-links between two guanines at CG.CG sequences. It is predictable that such cross-links should occur in two isomeric strand orientations in duplex DNA (except when located in the center of a self-complementary duplex). This was verified by the isolation and characterization of a pair of two isomeric oligonucleotides in each case of five non-self-complementary duplexes of 8-bp length, cross-linked by MC. Isomer separation was accomplished by reverse-phase HPLC. The isomers in a pair were formed in approximately 1:1 proportion. Their structures were rigorously characterized by a two-step cross-linking procedure: first, 1''-monoalkylation of each strand, followed by conversion to a cross-linked duplex by annealing the monoalkylated strand to its complement in the presence of a reducing agent. The resulting individual authentic orientation isomers were used as standards for identification of the two isomers formed in the original (one-step) cross-linking reactions. A 16-bp duplex oligonucleotide was synthesized featuring the AluI cognate sequence, separated from a MC cross-link site by only 1 bp. Its two MC cross-linked isomers were prepared separately, and their rate of cleavage by AluI was determined using HPLC. Cleavage of both the unmodified and cross-linked duplexes was nonsymmetrical. The isomer in which the 2''-NH3+ of MC is oriented toward the AluI site was cleaved essentially at the same rate as the control duplex, while cleavage of the isomer with the MC indoloquinone group oriented toward the AluI site was inhibited 2-fold at the faster-cleaved strand.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
An operational fluorescence system for crop assessment (2004)

The development of precision farming requires new tools for plant nutritional stress monitoring. An operational fluorescence system has been designed for vegetation status mapping and stress detection at plant and field scale. The instrument gives relative values of fluorescence at different wavelengths induced by the two-excitation sources. Lightinduced fluorescence has demonstrated successful crop health monitoring and plant nutritional stress detection capabilities. The spectral response of the plants has first been measured with an hyperspectral imager using laser-induced fluorescence. A tabletop imaging fluorometer based on flash lamp technology has also been designed to study the spatial distribution of fluorescence on plant leaves. For field based non-imaging system, LED technology is used as light source to induce fluorescence of the plant. The operational fluorescence system is based on ultraviolet and blue LED to induce fluorescence. Four narrow fluorescence bands centered on 440, 520, 690 and 740nm are detected. The instrument design includes a modular approach for light source and detector. It can accommodate as many as four different light sources and six bands of fluorescence detection. As part of the design for field application, the instrument is compatible with a mobile platform equipped with a GPS and data acquisition system. The current system developed by Telops/GAAP is configured for potato crops fluorescence measurement but can easily be adapted for other crops. This new instrument offers an effective and affordable solution for precision farming.
23.2: <i>Invited Paper</i> : Solution‐processed Metal Oxide TFTs and Circuits on a Plastic by Photochemical Activation Process (2013)

Abstract Here, we report a general route to form high‐performance and stable solution‐processed metal‐oxide TFTs and circuits at room‐temperature by deep‐ultraviolet (DUV) photochemical activation The photo‐enhanced DUV annealing induces condensation and densification of amorphous metal‐oxide semiconductor films via photochemical reactions and film microstructure modifications by energetic photons. It was found that the photochemical annealing is effective in fabricating most metal‐oxide semiconductors and the metal‐oxide TFTs typically demonstrate comparable or even better electrical performance and operational stability with high‐temperature (≥350C) annealed devices. The room‐temperature fabricated metal‐oxide TFTs and circuits have shown field‐effect mobilities of more than 14 and 7 cm 2 V −1 s −1 on glass and polymeric substrates, respectively. The fabricated 7‐stage ring oscillators on polymeric substrates indicate oscillation frequency of > 340 kHz corresponding to propagation delay of < 210 ns per stage.
An analytical model for organic-based thin-film transistors (1991)

A model describing the current-voltage characteristics of organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) is presented. The model is based on the trap distribution deduced from temperature-dependent current-voltage measurements on Au/alpha-sexithienyl (α6T)/Au symmetrical structures, which comprises a dominant single shallow trap level located near the valence-band edge. Numerical and approximate analytical derivations of the saturation current density as a function of the gate voltage have been made. From these calculations, the dependence of the threshold voltage on the parameters of the trap level (density and energy) is deduced. It appears that the threshold voltage corresponds to the filling of traps, and is a surface equivalent of the trap-filled limit voltage in bulk space-charge-limited current. The model is in good agreement with experimental data on α6T TFTs. The energy of the trap level compares well with that obtained from the temperature-dependent conductivity. However, the mobility is much lower in the TFT than in a bulk structure. This is tentatively explained by the strong influence of the state of the insulator-semiconductor interface on the characteristics of a TFT.

ProSy: A similarity based inline deduplication system for primary storage (2015)

Data deduplication can reduce cost and enhance throughput in backup and archiving systems. Recently, it becomes increasingly popular to apply this technique in primary storage systems, where data is actively used by enterprise business applications. However, the state-of-the-art deduplication systems for primary storages mainly provide offline solutions, which require sufficient time-window, additional space and energy. The biggest challenge for an inline deduplication solution is the acceptable performance in terms of data deduplication ratio, access latency, system throughput and management overhead. In this paper, we propose a high accuracy similarity algorithm, and based on it, construct ProSy, a real-time inline deduplication system for primary storage, which can achieve acceptable comprehensive performance without requiring file layout information. Prosy is more reliable since it uses byte-by-byte comparison instead of strong hash comparison to guarantee data integrity. The main idea behind ProSy is to minimize the size of comparison set by grouping similar file segments into the same category when performing data deduplication. For each segment of files, ProSy searches for common data only within the category which this segment belongs to. The experimental evaluation based on real world datasets shows that ProSy is practical and it achieves satisfactory performance. Comparing with the common file system, ProSy can achieve more than 60% of the max data deduplication ratio, 27% deduction on latency, about 2.7% CPU utilization, 83% write throughput and 144% read throughput.

Branching Mutant rms-2 in Pisum sativum (Grafting Studies and Endogenous Indole-3-Acetic Acid Levels) (1994)

Isogenic lines of pea (Pisum sativum L.) were used to determine the physiological site of action of the Rms-2 gene, which maintains apical dominance, and its effect on endogenous free indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels. In mutant rms-2 scions, which normally produce lateral branches below node 3 and above node 7, apical dominance was almost fully restored by grafting to Rms-2 (wild-type) stocks. In the reciprocal grafts, rms-2 stocks did not promote branching in wild-type shoots. Together, these results suggest that the Rms-2 gene inhibits branching in the shoot of pea by controlling the synthesis of a translocatable (hormone-like) substance that is produced in the roots and/or cotyledons and in the shoot. At all stages, including the stage at which aerial lateral buds commence outgrowth, the level of IAA in rms-2 shoots was elevated (up to 5-fold) in comparison with that in wild-type shoots. The internode length of rms-2 plants was 40% less than in wild-type plants, and the mutant plants allocated significantly more dry weight to the shoot than to the root in comparison with wild-type plants. Grafting to wild-type stocks did not normalize IAA levels or internode length in rms-2 scions, even though it inhibited branching, suggesting that the involvement of Rms-2 in the control of IAA level and internode length may be confined to processes in the shoot.
Mechanisms of integrin-mediated calcium signaling in MDCK cells: regulation of adhesion by IP3- and store-independent calcium influx. (1996)

Peptides containing Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) immobilized on beads bind to integrins and trigger biphasic, transient increases in intracellular free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells. The [Ca2+]i increase participates in feedback regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion in these cells. We examined influx pathways and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-mediated Ca2+ store release as possible sources of the [Ca2+]i rise. The RGD-induced [Ca2+]i response requires external Ca2+ (threshold approximately 150 microM), and its magnitude is proportional to extracellular calcium. RGD-induced transients were attenuated by Ca2+ channel inhibitors (Ni2+ and carboxy-amidotriazole) or by plasma membrane depolarization, indicating that Ca2+ influx contributes to the response. Loading cells with heparin reduced the size of RGD-induced [Ca2+]i transients, indicating that IP3-mediated release of Ca2+ from stores may also contribute to the RGD response. Depletion of Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin activated Ni(2+)-sensitive Ca2+ influx that might also be expected to occur after IP3-mediated depletion of stored Ca2-. However, RGD elicited a Ni(2+)-sensitive Ca2+ influx even after pretreatment with thapsigargin, indicating that Ca2+ influx is controlled by a mechanism independent of IP3-mediated store depletion. We conclude that RGD-induced [Ca2+]i transients in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells result primarily from the combination of two distinct mechanisms: 1) IP3-mediated release of intracellular stores, and 2) activation of a Ca2+ influx pathway regulated independently of IP3 and Ca2+ store release. Because Ni2+ and carboxy-amidotriazole inhibited adhesion, whereas store depletion with thapsigargin had little effect, we suggest that the Ca2+ influx mechanism is most important for feedback regulation of integrin-mediated adhesion by increased [Ca2+]i.
The Review of Applications and Measurements in Facial Electromyography (2004)

In this paper, many applications related to facial EMG topics are reviewed and the current recommended practices are described. We have surveyed the facial EMG application on masticatory function evaluation, speech analysis and recognition, and emotional expression observation. In addition, we also introduce the measurement of facial EMG including the electrode selection; electrode position and noise reduction. Finally, we have brought up some comments and issues for further developments of facial EMG technique. The purpose of this paper is to point out a potential and novel research topic, facial EMG. We hope to raise the interest in this topic and bring up some inspiration for researchers studying facial EMG technique.
Auxetic polypropylene films (2005)

Abstract Auxetic materials are those exhibiting negative Poisson's ratio (ν) behavior. Polymeric auxetic extruded products in the form of cylinders and fibers have previously been reported. This article reports the successful production of auxetic polypropylene films (∼0.15‐mm thick) using a melt extrusion process. Video extensometry and tensile testing techniques have been used to measure the in‐plane Poisson's ratios and Young's moduli of the auxetic film, both on an Instron tensile testing machine and a Deben microtensile testing machine. The film is elastically anisotropic with the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus along the extrusion ( x ) direction being ν xy = −1.12 ± 0.06 and E x = 0.34 ± 0.01GPa, respectively, while the Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus in the transverse ( y ) direction to the extrusion direction are ν yx = −0.77 ± 0.01 and E y = 0.20 ± 0.01GPa, respectively.

The effect of trypsin inhibitor on the pancreas and small intestine of mice (1993)

Pancreatic and intestinal growth rates were measured in mice fed on raw soya-bean flour (RSF) for up to 24 weeks. Control animals were fed on standard chow. The effects of RSF on the mouse pancreas resembled that seen in rats, showing hypertrophy with some hyperplasia. A marked increase in small intestinal weight was also found in mice fed on RSF but not in rats fed on this diet. Histological studies showed an increase in both villous and crypt thicknesses in the small intestine from these mice, and DNA, RNA and protein measurements indicated that the increase in intestinal weight was due to hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the mucosal layer. To determine whether the intestinal growth in mice fed on RSF was purely a response to the trypsin inhibitor (TI) component of the diet, pancreatic and intestinal growth rates were also determined in mice fed on the synthetic trypsin inhibitor camostate, at levels of 0.5 or 2 g/kg in rat chow, for periods of 1-8 weeks. Control animals were fed on standard chow. RSF and 0.5 g camostate/kg had similar trypsin inhibitor activities (measured against bovine trypsin), and both caused similar increases in pancreatic weight, DNA, RNA and protein content. However, 0.5 g camostate/kg did not affect small intestinal weight. Chow containing 2 g camostate/kg contained twice as much TI activity as the RSF diet but produced only a small increase in small intestinal weight at 2 and 8 weeks. This intestinal growth was significantly less than that seen with RSF. The present study shows that, in the mouse, RSF or a diet containing camostate in the appropriate dose produces pancreatic growth comparable to that seen in the rat. RSF also causes intestinal growth, but camostate-containing diets have little or no effect on the growth of the intestine.
Conduction in the Giant Nerve Fiber Pathway in Temperature-Sensitive Paralytic Mutants of Drosophila (1990)

To study electrogenic conduction in neurons of the cervical giant nerve fiber (CGF) pathway in Drosophila adults carrying temperature-sensitive paralytic mutations that affect sodium channels, we recorded dorsal longitudinal muscle (DLM) responses evoked by electrical stimulation of the brain. In the mutants tipE, napts and parats, conduction in certain neurons presynaptic to the CGF failed at about the same temperature at which paralysis occurred in each mutant. Conduction in the CGF and neurons postsynaptic to it remained active in all mutants even at very elevated temperatures. In contrast, analysis of sei mutants showed enhanced spontaneous activity at elevated temperatures in at least some neurons of the CGF pathway. The implications of these results with respect to the normal in vivo functions of these genes in neuronal signalling are considered.
