Using the EAP Framework for Fast Media Independent Handover Authentication (2008)

In this paper we compare different authentication techniques that may be used in order to reduce the time and resources required to perform a handover: namely, re-authentication and pre-authentication. We provide a detailed analysis of each mechanism, and highlight key performance trade-offs for sel
Potassium currents in rat prevertebral and paravertebral sympathetic neurones: control of firing properties. (1995)

1. Intracellular recordings were made from rat sympathetic neurones in isolated superior cervical ganglia (SCG), coeliac ganglia (CG) and superior mesenteric ganglia (SMG). 2. Based on their response to a maintained depolarizing current stimulus, neurones were classified as 'phasic' or 'tonic'. All neurones in the SCG were phasic, 85% of the neurones in the SMG and 58% of the neurones in the CG were tonic, and the remainder were phasic. 3. The voltage response of phasic and tonic neurones around threshold to a constant current step was markedly different. The response of phasic neurones was biphasic with an initial depolarizing response followed by significant repolarization of the membrane potential. In contrast, tonic neurones became more depolarized during a prolonged current step. 4. The underlying currents were studied using single-electrode voltage-clamp recording. The M-current was present in all phasic neurones, but was very weak or absent in tonic neurones. 5. An A-current was apparent in both phasic and tonic neurones. The voltage-dependent activation, steady- state inactivation, and current density of the A-current were all similar in phasic and tonic cells. 6. A low- threshold, slowly inactivating outward current (D2-current) was observed exclusively in tonic neurones. The slow inactivation of this current appeared to underlie the slow depolarizing ramp seen in response to a maintained depolarizing current step. 7. Computer simulations, based on the voltage-clamp data, suggested that the different firing properties of phasic and tonic neurones could be accounted for by differential expression of the M-current.
Thiol–epoxy ‘click’ polymerization: efficient construction of reactive and functional polymers (2012)

The thiol–epoxy ‘click’ process is employed as a polymerization reaction to prepare linear polymer chains substituted with free hydroxyl groups. Post-polymerization modification of the hydroxyl units afforded functional polymers exhibiting substituent dependent properties. In this way, functionalized macromolecules are obtained in two simple synthetic steps from commercially available monomer building blocks and reagents.
Document Similarity Judgment for Interactive Document Clustering (2010)

This paper investigates the task of document similarity judgment for interactive document clustering. We suppose one of the promising approaches for develop- ing next generation of web search engines is to incorporate user feedback mechanism into constrained clustering. As a basis for designing such search engines, it is important to study the interface design that can reduce user' burden of giving feedback to a system. This paper focuses on the task of judging the similarity of two documents as the primitive task for user feedback, and compares 3 types of informa- tion to be presented to users: snippet, topic terms, and original text. In particular, snippets suitable for document similarity judgment are proposed, which consist of two kinds of snippets: common snippets showing the common part of documents, and specific snippets showing the dif- ference between documents. An experiment is conducted with 21 test participants, who were asked to judge the similarity of document pairs based on the 3 conditions. Those conditions are compared in terms of judgment time and accuracy with ANOVA and chi-square analysis. The typical judging behavior of the participants is also inves- tigated by an eye-tracking system. Keywords—snippets, document clustering, eye-tracking.
Study of the Reaction between Ethylene Glycol or 1,2-Propylene Glycol with Diphenylmethane. 4,4′-diisocyanate (1983)

Abstract A 13C-NMR study of the reaction between ethylene glycol or 1,2-propylene glycol with diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate is reported. Assignation of -CH2-, -NHCOO-, and -CH3 groups was made and their concentration dependence on reaction time established. On the basis of these data, the rate constants for different reactions were calculated. It was found that the primary groups of 1,2-propylene glycol are more reactive than the secondary -OH group, and that ethylene glycol is more reactive than 1,2-propylene glycol. Side reactions at low temperature and without catalyst do not take place.
Experience with Path Analysis and Testing of Programs (1980)

There are a number of practical difficulties in performing a path testing strategy for computer programs. One problem is in deciding which paths, out of a possible infinity, to use as test cases. A hierarchy of structural test metrics is suggested to direct the choide and to monitor the coverge of test paths. Another problem is that many of the chosen paths may be infeasible in the sense that no test data can ever execute them. Experience with the use of "allegations" to circumvent this problem and prevent the static generation of many infeasible paths is reported.

Anti-Chlamydial Antibiotic Therapy for Symptom Improvement in Peripheral Artery Disease (2009)

Rifalazil did not improve exercise performance or quality of life in patients with intermittent claudication. No safety concerns were identified. Given the very small effect size, it is unlikely that larger studies would demonstrate a symptomatic benefit of this therapy in peripheral artery disease.

Moral Monsters (2008)

Despite the undeniable horrors of recent years that have reawakened "evil" discourse and scholarship, understandings of the term, at least in contemporary Western thought, are still most commonly associated with the Holocaust. Not only do the atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps remain one of the most extreme examples of the human capacity for evil in history (if not the most extreme example) but, on an intellectual level, the meaningless suffering endured by millions of Jews, gypsies, and other minorities precipitated some of the most powerful and important reflections on evil in both theological and secular thought.3 Although, in the first instance, the horrors of the Holocaust were met with a profound reluctance to confront its reality, born in part of the shock that something this grotesque could happen in the heart of civilized Europe and in part out of a misguided sense of Holocaust piety, with time intellectual responses began to emerge.KeywordsInternational RelationMoral AgencyMass GraveRome StatuteJewish PeopleThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Nat3p and Mdm20p Are Required for Function of Yeast NatB Nα-terminal Acetyltransferase and of Actin and Tropomyosin (2003)

NatB Nalpha-terminal acetyltransferase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae acts cotranslationally on proteins with Met-Glu- or Met-Asp- termini and subclasses of proteins with Met-Asn- and Met-Met- termini. NatB is composed of the interacting Nat3p and Mdm20p subunits, both of which are required for acetyltransferase activity. The phenotypes of nat3-Delta and mdm20-Delta mutants are identical or nearly the same and include the following: diminished growth at elevated temperatures and on hyperosmotic and nonfermentable media; diminished mating; defective actin cables formation; abnormal mitochondrial and vacuolar inheritance; inhibition of growth by DNA-damaging agents such as methyl methanesulfonate, bleomycin, camptothecin, and hydroxyurea; and inhibition of growth by the antimitotic drugs benomyl and thiabendazole. The similarity of these phenotypes to the phenotypes of certain act1 and tpm1 mutants suggests that such multiple defects are caused by the lack of acetylation of actin and tropomyosins. However, the lack of acetylation of other unidentified proteins conceivably could cause the same phenotypes. Furthermore, unacetylated actin and certain N-terminally altered actins have comparable defective properties in vitro, particularly actin-activated ATPase activity and sliding velocity.
Biometric hashing for handwriting: entropy-based feature selection and semantic fusion (2008)

Some biometric algorithms lack of the problem of using a great number of features, which were extracted from the raw data. This often results in feature vectors of high dimensionality and thus high computational complexity. However, in many cases subsets of features do not contribute or with only little impact to the correct classification of biometric algorithms. The process of choosing more discriminative features from a given set is commonly referred to as feature selection. In this paper we present a study on feature selection for an existing biometric hash generation algorithm for the handwriting modality, which is based on the strategy of entropy analysis of single components of biometric hash vectors, in order to identify and suppress elements carrying little information. To evaluate the impact of our feature selection scheme to the authentication performance of our biometric algorithm, we present an experimental study based on data of 86 users. Besides discussing common biometric error rates such as Equal Error Rates, we suggest a novel measurement to determine the reproduction rate probability for biometric hashes. Our experiments show that, while the feature set size may be significantly reduced by 45% using our scheme, there are marginal changes both in the results of a verification process as well as in the reproducibility of biometric hashes. Since multi-biometrics is a recent topic, we additionally carry out a first study on a pair wise multi-semantic fusion based on reduced hashes and analyze it by the introduced reproducibility measure.
Next generation burn-in development (1994)

Die level burn-in (DLBI) and wafer level burn-in (WLBI) are two technologies that are being investigated to address the growing industry demand for product shipped as "known good die" (KGD). Commercial DLBI technology is now in the prototype evaluation and development stages. WLBI technology is now being seriously discussed in the industry and will require significant development effort. The major development area for the WLBI process will involve the technology to do whole wafer probing. Potential whole wafer probe technologies are being evaluated and there are four that look promising. Detailed cost analysis for DLBL and WLBI has been performed, using the current package level burn-in (PLBI) cost for comparison. DLBI is an evolution from PLBI and is a viable near-term solution (i.e., technology availability, cost) that will support the development of a KGD product line. WLBI appears to offer a long-term solution for supplying both KGD and packaged product, although the development path is revolutionary, and will entail more risk and years to fully develop.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Production of antibody to individual polypeptides derived from purified hepatitis B surface antigen (1975)

Purified preparations of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were solubilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate and urea under reducing conditions and subsequently fractionated by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Pools of the individual fractions eluted from the preparative PAGE were concentrated and purified further by analytical PAGE. Five purified polypeptides were isolated from HBsAg, types adw and ayw, with molecular weights of 19,000, 24,000, 27,000, 35,000, and 40,000. Each preparations was emulsified in Freund complete adjuvant and injected into guinea pigs. Antibody to each HBsAg type was measured by radioimmunoassay. The 19,000 molecular weight polypeptide derived from ayw particles and the 27,000 molecular weight subunit obtained from both types failed to elicit an antibody response. The other three polypeptides derived from the ayw particles elicited group-specific antibody responses. Similar group-specific reactivities were observed in the testing of anti-adw 35,000 and anti-adw 40,000 molecular weight polypeptide sera. However, guinea pigs immunized with the 19,000 and the 24,000 molecular weight polypeptides of the adw type produced antibody that reacted preferentially with adw particles. This indicates that either these subunits carry predominately d determinants or that, because of the low levels of material used for inoculation, no immune response or an undetectable one was elicited to the a or w components.

Homologous recombination and the repair of double-strand breaks during cotransformation of Dictyostelium discoideum. (1988)

We examined the ability of unlinked nonreplicating plasmid molecules to undergo homologous recombination during cotransformation of Dictyostelium amoebae. The transformation vector B10S confers resistance to the antibiotic G418 and was always presented to amoebae as a closed circle. Cotransforming DNA, containing a slime mold cDNA and sequences homologous to the primary vector, was presented either as a closed circle or as a linear molecule after digestion with restriction endonucleases which cut within one of three distinct regions of the plasmid. Remarkably, homologous recombination occurred in every clone examined. Moreover, the products of recombination were identical in all instances, irrespective of the presence or position of linearized ends. The ends of the linear templates were not recombinogenic. Repair of the introduced double-strand break occurred frequently during recombination. The repair could occur intermolecularly or, more likely, intramolecularly, i.e., by recircularization. Many of the recombination events were of a nonreciprocal nature. Despite the startlingly frequent level of homologous recombination, the use of cotransforming DNA which contains no homology to the selected vector established that such recombination was not required for cotransformation.
TRANCE–RANK, a New Signal Pathway Involved in Lymphocyte Development and T Cell Activation (1999)

Almost a decade ago, major advancements in our understanding of the cell–cell interactions that were critically involved in the regulation of the immune response were achieved when it was established that T cell activation not only required a signal through the T cell receptor but also a second
<i>FAO-56</i> Dual Crop Coefficient Method for Estimating Evaporation from Soil and Application Extensions (2005)

Crop coefficient curves provide simple, reproducible means to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ET) from weather-based reference ET values. The dual crop coefficient (Kc) method of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United States (FAO) Irrigation and Drainage Paper No. 56 (FAO-56) is intended to improve daily simulation of crop ET by considering separately the contribution of evaporation from soil. The dual method utilizes “basal” crop coefficients representing ET from crops having a dry soil surface and separately predicts evaporation from bare soil based on a water balance of the soil surface layer. Three extensions to the evaporation calculation procedure are described here that are intended to improve accuracy when applications warrant the extra complexity. The first extension uses parallel water balances representing the portion of the soil surface wetted by irrigation and precipitation together and the portion wetted by precipitation alone. The second extension uses three “stages” for surface drying and provides for application to deep cracking soils. The third extension predicts the extraction of the transpiration component from the soil surface layer. Sensitivity and analyses and illustrations indicate moderate sensitivity of daily calculated ET to application of the extensions. The dual Kc procedure, although relatively simple computationally and structurally, estimates daily ET as measured by lysimeter relatively well for periods of bare soil and partial and full vegetation cover.

Human T lymphocyte activation induces tyrosine phosphorylation of α‐tubulin and its association with the SH2 domain of the p59<sup>fyn</sup> protein tyrosine kinase (1995)

A glutathione-S-transferase-src-homology domain 2 (GST-SH2) fusion protein was employed to identify molecules interacting with the protein tyrosine kinase p59fyn. Among several proteins which bound to the fyn SH2 domain in lysates of human Jurkat T lymphocytes, alpha- and beta-tubulin were identified by N-terminal sequencing. Further analysis established that alpha-tubulin exists as a tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in Jurkat cells, where it interacts with p59fyn, but not with p56lck. By contrast, in untransformed resting human T lymphocytes alpha-tubulin is not detectable as a tyrosine phosphorylated protein. However, following T cell activation, it becomes rapidly phosphorylated on tyrosine residues and subsequently associates with the SH2 domain of fyn. Interestingly, constitutively tyrosine-phosphorylated alpha-tubulin that is able to interact with the fyn-SH2 domain is expressed in peripheral blood T lymphoblasts isolated from leukemic patients in the absence of external stimulation.
Comparison of itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole as oral antifungal prophylaxis in pediatric patients following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (2013)

Oral antifungal prophylaxis with extended-spectra azoles is widely used in pediatric patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), while controlled studies for oral antifungal prophylaxis after bone marrow transplantation in children are not available. This survey analyzed patients who had received either itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole. We focused on the safety, feasibility, and initial data of efficacy in a cohort of pediatric patients and adolescents after high-dose chemotherapy and HSCT. Fifty consecutive pediatric patients received itraconazole, 50 received voriconazole, and 50 pediatric patients received posaconazole after HSCT as oral antifungal prophylaxis. The observation period lasted from the start of oral prophylactic treatment with itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole until two weeks after terminating the oral antifungal prophylaxis. No incidences of proven or probable invasive mycosis were observed during itraconazole, voriconazole, or posaconazole treatment. A total of five possible invasive fungal infections occurred, two in the itraconazole group (4%) and three in the voriconazole group (6%). The percentage of patients with adverse events potentially related to clinical drugs were 14% in the voriconazole group, 12% in the itraconazole group, and 8% in the posaconazole group. Itraconazole, voriconazole, and posaconazole showed comparable efficacy as antifungal prophylaxis in pediatric patients after allogeneic HSCT.
3,4-Phenylenedioxythiophene (PheDOT): a novel platform for the synthesis of planar substituted π–donor conjugated systems (2004)

3,4-Phenylenedioxythiophene (PheDOT), a benzenic analogue of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), has been synthesized using two different routes namely etherification of 2,5-dicarboethoxy-3,4-dihydroxythiophene with halo-aromatics and transetherification of 3,4-dimethoxythiophene with catechols. Quantum calculations and electrochemical measurements show that replacement of the ethylene bridge of EDOT by a phenyl group leads to an increase of the HOMO level and to a stabilization of the cation radical, making electropolymerization of PheDOT more difficult than that of EDOT. The synthesis of several PheDOT derivatives is described together with preliminary results on their electrochemical polymerization and on the properties of the resulting polymers and copolymers.
Induction of apoptosis in human breast cancer cells by tocopherols and tocotrienols (1999)

The apoptosis-inducing properties of RRR-alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherols, alpha-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienols, RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate), and RRR-alpha-tocopheryl succinate (vitamin E succinate) were investigated in estrogen-responsive MCF7 and estrogen-nonresponsive MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cell lines in culture. Apoptosis was characterized by two criteria: 1) morphology of 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole-stained cells and oligonucleosomal DNA laddering. Vitamin E succinate, a known inducer of apoptosis in several cell lines, including human breast cancer cells, served as a positive control. The estrogen-responsive MCF7 cells were more susceptible than the estrogen-nonresponsive MDA-MB-435 cells, with concentrations for half-maximal response for tocotrienols (alpha, gamma, and delta) and RRR-delta-tocopherol of 14, 15, 7, and 97 micrograms/ml, respectively. The tocotrienols (alpha, gamma, and delta) and RRR-delta-tocopherol induced MDA-MB-435 cells to undergo apoptosis, with concentrations for half-maximal response of 176, 28, 13, and 145 micrograms/ml, respectively. With the exception of RRR-delta-tocopherol, the tocopherols (alpha, beta, and gamma) and the acetate derivative of RRR-alpha-tocopherol (RRR-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) were ineffective in induction of apoptosis in both cell lines when tested within the range of their solubility, i.e., 10-200 micrograms/ml. In summary, these studies demonstrate that naturally occurring tocotrienols and RRR-delta-tocopherol are effective apoptotic inducers for human breast cancer cells.
