Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Determination of the Solution Association Energy of the Dimer [Co{N(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub>: Magnetic Studies of Low-Coordinate Co(II) Silylamides [Co{N(SiMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>2</sub>L] (L = PMe<sub>3</sub>, Pyridine, and THF) and Related Species That Reveal Evidence of Very Large Zero-Field Splittings (2013)

The synthesis, magnetic, and spectroscopic characteristics of the synthetically useful dimeric cobalt(II) silylamide complex [Co{N(SiMe3)2}2]2 (1) and several of its Lewis base complexes have been investigated. Variable-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of 1 showed that it exists in a monomer-dimer equilibrium in benzene solution and has an association energy (ΔGreacn) of -0.30(20) kcal mol(-1) at 300 K. Magnetic data for the polycrystalline, red-brown [Co{N(SiMe3)2}2]2 (1) showed that it displays strong antiferromagnetic exchange coupling, expressed as -2JexS1S2, between the two S = (3)/2 cobalt(II) centers with a Jex value of -215(5) cm(-1), which is consistent with its bridged dimeric structure in the solid state. The electronic spectrum of 1 in solution is reported for the first time, and it is shown that earlier reports of the melting point, synthesis, electronic spectrum, and magnetic studies of the monomer "Co{N(SiMe3)2}2" are consistent with those of the bright green-colored tetrahydrofuran (THF) complex [Co{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)] (4). Treatment of 1 with various Lewis bases yielded monomeric three-coordinated species-[Co{N(SiMe3)2}2(PMe3)] (2), and [Co{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)] (4), as well as the previously reported [Co{N(SiMe3)2}2(py)] (3)-and the four-coordinated species [Co{N(SiMe3)2}2(py)2] (5) in good yields. The paramagnetic complexes 2-4 were characterized by electronic and (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and by X-ray crystallography in the case of 2 and 4. Magnetic studies of 2-5 and of the known three-coordinated cobalt(II) species [Na(12-crown-4)2][Co{N(SiMe3)2}3] (6) showed that they have considerably larger χMT products and, hence, magnetic moments, than the spin-only values of 1.875 emu K mol(-1) and 3.87 μB, which is indicative of a significant zero-field splitting and g-tensor anisotropy resulting from the pseudo-trigonal crystal field. A fit of χMT for 2-6 yields a large g-tensor anisotropy, large negative D-values (between -62 cm(-1) and -82 cm(-1)), and E-values between ±10 cm(-1) and ±21 cm(-1).
Oxide surfaces (1996)

We review the current knowledge of the geometric and electronic structure of oxide surfaces. In particular, material published during the last five years and going beyond the latest book by Henrich and Cox, Surface Science of Oxide Surfaces, is documented. In addition to the discussion of effects on and in bulk oxide single crystal samples, and in fact mainly, we also refer to work on thin oxide films epitaxially grown on metallic substrates. Surface states on oxide surfaces as well as band structure effects are discussed. Reconstruction and the local electronic structure are other aspects covered. We review experimental as well as theoretical approaches. Adsorption on oxide surfaces is an important subject covered in this review, and oxide modification by metal adsorption is also mentioned.
The design space of garbage collection (2002)

The model also serves designers in choosing the right collection parameters for specific system and application environments.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Overexpression of the Zinc Finger Protein MZF1 Inhibits Hematopoietic Development from Embryonic Stem Cells: Correlation with Negative Regulation of <i>CD34</i> and c-<i>myb</i> Promoter Activity (1995)

Zinc finger genes encode proteins that act as transcription factors. The myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) gene encodes a zinc finger protein with two DNA-binding domains that recognize two distinct consensus sequences, is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic cells, and may be involved in the transcriptional regulation of hematopoiesis-specific genes. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis of human peripheral blood CD34+ cells cultured under lineage-restricted conditions demonstrated MZF1 expression during both myeloid and erythroid differentiation. Sequence analysis of the 5'-flanking region of the CD34 and c-myb genes, which are a marker of and a transcriptional factor required for hematopoietic proliferation and differentiation, respectively, revealed closely spaced MZF1 consensus binding sites found by electrophoretic mobility shift assays to interact with recombinant MZF1 protein. Transient or constitutive MZF1 expression in different cell types resulted in specific inhibition of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase activity driven by the CD34 or c-myb 5'-flanking region. To determine whether transcriptional modulation by MZF1 activity plays a role in hematopoietic differentiation, constructs containing the MZF1 cDNA under the control of different promoters were transfected into murine embryonic stem cells which, under defined in vitro culture conditions, generate colonies of multiple hematopoietic lineages. Constitutive MZF1 expression interfered with the ability of embryonic stem cells to undergo hematopoietic commitment and erythromyeloid colony formation and prevented the induced expression of CD34 and c-myb mRNAs during differentiation of these cells. These data indicate that MZF1 plays a critical role in hematopoiesis by modulating the expression of genes involved in this process.
Telemicroscopy stations for telepathology based on broadband and ISDN connections. (1995)

Telemicroscopy equipment is a key tool to perform Telepathology successfully. It allows the local separation of the microscope with the tissue samples from the investigating pathologist. The Telemicroscopy stations presented provide the user with a full access to the functions such as scanning stage, focus, illumination and magnification selection of a remote microscope. One system applies as communication link a broadband video conference net of the German Telekom with full realtime capabilities and color TV-image quality. As this network provides adequate interfaces for video and computer net signals, it is well suited to establish within a short time interval a very comfortable Telemicroscopy connection without the development of additional equipment. As the broadband network is expensive the application is economically restricted to special applications. The other system relies on the narrow band connections of the ISDN telephone network. This design is inexpensive with respect to data transmission and is available nearly worldwide everywhere. But on the other hand this strategy is limited concerning realtime capabilities. To reduce these limitations to an acceptable level intelligent coding and operation concepts of the stations have to be developed.
Mutations Within the Kinase Domain and Truncations of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Are Rare Events in Bladder Cancer: Implications for Therapy (2006)

When our results are taken together, we conclude that alterations within the tyrosine kinase domain and expression of EGFRvIII are rare events in bladder cancer. The present study has clinical implications in selecting tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the therapy of urothelial carcinoma.
A floxed allele of the <i>androgen receptor</i> gene causes hyperandrogenization in male mice (2008)

We previously generated a conditional floxed mouse line to study androgen action, in which exon 3 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene is flanked by loxP sites, with the neomycin resistance gene present in intron 3. Deletion of exon 3 in global AR knockout mice causes androgen insensitivity syndrome, characterized by genotypic males lacking normal masculinization. We now report that male mice carrying the floxed allele (AR(lox)) have the reverse phenotype, termed hyperandrogenization. AR(lox) mice have increased mass of androgen-dependent tissues, including kidney, (P < 0.001), seminal vesicle (P < 0.001), levator ani muscle (P = 0.001), and heart (P < 0.05). Serum testosterone is not significantly different. Testis mass is normal, histology shows normal spermatogenesis, and AR(lox) males are fertile. AR(lox) males also have normal AR mRNA levels in kidney, brain, levator ani, liver, and testis. This study reaffirms the need to investigate the potential phenotypic effects of floxed alleles in the absence of cre in tissue-specific knockout studies. In addition, this androgen hypersensitivity model may be useful to further investigate the effects of subtle perturbations of androgen action in a range of androgen-responsive systems in the male.
Attenuation of DNA-dependent protein kinase activity and its catalytic subunit by the herpes simplex virus type 1 transactivator ICP0 (1996)

The DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is involved in several fundamental nuclear processes, including DNA double-strand break repair, V(D)J recombination, and transcription by RNA polymerases I and II. In this study, we show that infection of mammalian cells with herpes simplex virus type 1 attenuates DNA-PK activity by specifically depleting the p350/DNA-PKcs catalytic subunit. The half-life of the p350/DNA-PKcs protein decreases from greater than 24 h to less than 4 h following infection. The depletion of DNA-PK activity and p350/DNA-PKcs abundance is dependent on expression of the viral immediate-early protein ICP0. As ICP0 acts as a promoter-independent transactivator of gene expression, these data suggest that ICP0 may function by directly or indirectly targeting the p350/DNA-PKcs subunit of DNA-PK, thereby altering the inhibitory effects of DNA-PK on RNA polymerase II transcription.
Developing a smart wardrobe system (2011)

The language of clothing has become more intricate and personal as more wearable technologies are being introduced into our lives. Either male or female of all age groups are spending more time choosing the right apparel to appear more presentable to impress their colleagues, superiors, customers, family and friends. However, to deal with choosing the right garment for the right occasion could be frustrating and time consuming. In this paper, we propose a system that is able to better manage their collection of garments by considering the users' choice of colors, styles, events and emotion. Target users are busy entrepreneurs and color blind people. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was integrated into the garment and a prototype system was developed to trace the movement of the garments in the wardrobe. The RFID tag contains data regarding the clothes which will be captured and stored in the system. With the use of RFID technology, the system is able to assist users in better decision making and eases the users.
A block reservation approach for traffic management over SuperPON (2002)

SuperPONs are access systems based on optical tree infrastructure. They are an extension of APONs (ATM-based passive optical networks), from which they differ mostly by their size. This paper considers the applicability of APON medium access protocols in the SuperPON context. More specifically, a modified version of the APON protocol proposed in Stojanovski and Gagnaire (1997, 1998) is considered. The underlying bandwidth allocation approach is of a hybrid type: CBR/VBR traffic is handled with per-block reservations, whereas ABR traffic is handled with per-cell reservations. Compared to APONs, SuperPONs cover a much larger area and serve a greater amount of end-users. This is why polling techniques similar to those in APON systems cannot be directly reused. In order to solve this problem we propose to associate the single pulse polling (SPP) proposed in Angelopoulos et al. (1996) with ABT-like (ATM block transfer) resource management cells. That is the main contribution of this paper. The performances of the proposed mechanism (notably the access delay and the delay variation) are evaluated by means of simulations. First simulation results show that this approach may be a viable solution for efficient traffic management over SuperPONs. Support for ABT/DT, ABT/IT and UBR transfer capabilities is also discussed.
Vocabulary Development: Teaching vs. Testing (2003)

rooms. But, unfortunately, as Jim Burke points out in The English Teacher's Companion (Boynton/Cook Heinemann, 1999), there are few references to teaching vocabulary in the professional books that English teachers read, nor do many preservice programs offer actual practice or advice on how to incorporate vocabulary instruction into the English curriculum. The result has been that the first serious thinking many teachers have done about vocabulary instruction has been as a direct response to the standardized tests on which they and their students are being judged. With no training in how to teach vocabulary skills, many teachers transfer to their classrooms the same techniques that they see test makers using. For example, last spring we had a controversy in one of our local high schools, where each Monday a teacher would pass out an alphabetized list of words, which students were to look and learn for a Friday quiz. These bright students in an affluent neighborhood divided up the research part of the assignment and posted their findings on a Web site for everyone's use. When the teacher found out, she accused the students of cheating and asked the principal to devise appropriate punishment. Parents, the local school board, and the press got involved. Once it was understood that the students had cooperated only on finding the definitions and that the quizzes had been given in class with students being individually responsible for their own answers, the idea of punishing the students received little support. Based on their own experiences, people realized that sitting alone and copying out a single definition from a dictionary was not a very effective way to learn new words. It would have been better for
QuickTalk: An Association-Free Communication Method for IoT Devices in Proximity (2017)

IoT devices are in general considered to be straightforward to use. However, we find that there are a number of situations where the usability becomes poor. The situations include but not limited to the followings: 1) when initializing an IoT device, 2) when trying to control an IoT device which is initialized and registered by another person, and 3) when trying to control an IoT device out of many of the same type. We tackle these situations by proposing a new association-free communication method, QuickTalk. QuickTalk lets a user device such as a smartphone pinpoint and activate an IoT device with the help of an IR transmitter and communicate with the pinpointed IoT device through the broadcast channel of WiFi. By the nature of its association-free communication, QuickTalk allows a user device to immediately give a command to a specific IoT device in proximity even when the IoT device is uninitialized, unregistered to the control interface of the user, or registered but being physically confused with others. Our experiments of QuickTalk implemented on Raspberry Pi 2 devices show that the end-to-end delay of QuickTalk is upper bounded by 2.5 seconds and its median is only about 0.74 seconds. We further confirm that even when an IoT device has ongoing data sessions, QuickTalk can still establish a reliable communication channel to the IoT device with little impact to the ongoing sessions.
Expression of a Provirus of Human T Cell leukaemia Virus Type I by DNA Transfection (1987)

We isolated the full length provirus of human T cell leukaemia virus type I (HTLV-I) from MT-2, a lymphoid cell line producing HTLV-I. In three non-lymphoid cell lines (COS7, human osteosarcoma HOS cells, and HeLa) this provirus expressed a trans-acting activity after co-transfection with a recombinant plasmid carrying a bacterial chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene under the control of a long terminal repeat of HTLV-I provirus. The trans-acting protein p40 was detected by immunoprecipitation in transfected HOS cells. Structural proteins of HTLV-I, the gag and env products, were also formed and processed in the same manner as observed in MT-2 cells. In transfected HeLa cells, the p40 protein was mainly localized in the nucleus, while other structural proteins were detected in the cytoplasm and/or the membrane by indirect immunofluorescence. Syncytium formation was observed in HeLa cells after transfection. These results demonstrated that non-lymphoid cells could produce the major proteins of HTLV-I after DNA transfection of the cloned provirus.
Structure Learning in Power Distribution Networks (2015)

Traditionally power distribution networks are either not observable or only partially observable. This complicates development and implementation of new smart grid technologies, such as these related to demand response, outage detection and management, and improved load-monitoring. Here, inspired by proliferation of the metering technology, we discuss statistical estimation problems in structurally loopy but operationally radial distribution grids consisting in learning operational layout of the network from measurements, e.g. voltage data, which are either already available or can be made available with a relatively minor investment. Our newly suggested algorithms apply to a wide range of realistic scenarios. The algorithms are also computationally efficient – polynomial in time – which is proven theoretically and illustrated computationally on a number of test cases. The technique developed can be applied to detect line failures in real time as well as to understand the scope of possible adversarial attacks on the grid.
A Review of Horizontal-Wellbore Pressure Equations (2005)

Abstract The objective of this paper is to review the current methods of determining how the effects of wellbore hydraulics are incorporated into the evaluation of the productivity of a horizontal well.Wellbore hydraulics includes the effects of friction, acceleration, gravity, and fluid influx.Knowledge of the pressure distribution within the horizontal wellbore is important to more accurately determine the performance of the horizontal well and aides in the design of the well profile, completion, and stimulation.
Ion Gated Synaptic Transistors Based on 2D van der Waals Crystals with Tunable Diffusive Dynamics (2018)

Neuromorphic computing represents an innovative technology that can perform intelligent and energy-efficient computation, whereas construction of neuromorphic systems requires biorealistic synaptic elements with rich dynamics that can be tuned based on a robust mechanism. Here, an ionic-gating-modulated synaptic transistor based on layered crystals of transitional metal dichalcogenides and phosphorus trichalcogenides is demonstrated, which produce a diversity of short-term and long-term plasticity including excitatory postsynaptic current, paired pulse facilitation, spiking-rate-dependent plasticity, dynamic filtering, etc., with remarkable linearity and ultralow energy consumption of ≈30 fJ per spike. Detailed transmission electron microscopy characterization and ab initio calculation reveal two-stage ionic gating effects, namely, surface adsorption and internal intercalation in the channel medium, causing different poststimulation diffusive dynamics and thus accounting for the observed short-term and long-term plasticity, respectively. The synaptic activity can therefore be effectively manipulated by tailoring the ionic gating and consequent diffusion dynamics with varied thickness and structure of the van der Waals material as well as the number, duration, rate, and polarity of gate stimulations, making the present synaptic transistors intriguing candidates for low-power neuromorphic systems.
RESTful .NET: Build and Consume RESTful Web Services with .NET 3.5 (2008)

RESTful .NET is the first book that teaches Windows developers to build RESTful web services using the latest Microsoft tools. Written by Windows Communication Foundation (WFe expert Jon Flanders, this hands-on tutorial demonstrates how you can use WCF and other components of the .NET 3.5 Framework to build, deploy and use REST-based web services in a variety of application scenarios. RESTful architecture offers a simpler approach to building web services than SOAP, SOA, and the cumbersome WS-* stack. And WCF has proven to be a flexible technology for building distributed systems not necessarily tied to WS-* standards. RESTful .NET provides you with a complete guide to the WCF REST programming model for building web services consumed either by machines or humans. You'll learn how to: Program Read-Only (GET) services Program READ/WRITE services Host REST services Program REST feeds Program AJAX REST clients Secure REST endpoints Use workflow to deliver REST services Consume RESTful XML services using WCF Work with HTTP Work with ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) RESTful .NET introduces you to the ideas of REST and RESTful architecture, and includes a detailed discussion of how the Web/REST model plugs into the WCF architecture. If you develop with .NET, it's time to jump on the RESTful bandwagon. This book explains how. While REST is simple, WCF is not. To really understand and exploit this part of WCF requires a knowledgeable and experienced guide. I don't know anybody who's better suited for this role than Jon Flanders. ...Jon is first-rate at explaining complicated things. This book is the best introduction I've seen to creating and using these services with WCF. --David Chappell, Chappell & Associates
