Plant Regeneration from Cultured Immature Embryos and Inflorescences of 25 Cultivars of Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>) (1983)

Immature embryos and inflorescences of wheat (<it>Triticum aestivum</it>) were cultured on agar media. The presence of the auxin 2, 4-D induced the formation of multiple shoots in a proportion of cultures. In some cases the shoots developed from organized, embryoid-like structures. The morphogenetic capacities of 25 different cultivars of spring and winter wheat were compared, and clear differences were found between genotypes. Shoots were cultured separately, and the resulting plants grown to maturity in the glasshouse. Over a thousand plants were regenerated in this way, and phenotypic variation was observed amongst the regenerants.
Indirect in-situ retorting of oil shale using the TREE /SUP sm/ process (1984)

Total Resource Energy Extraction (TREE /SUP sm/ ) uses the heat generated from underground coal conversion processes to extract hydrocarbon fuel from in-situ resources such as oil shale. Hot inert flue gases produced from the underground coal conversion processes indirectly retort in-situ oil shale rubble. Rubblization is accomplished using conventional in-situ techniques of surface uplift, hydraulic fracturing and horizontal modified in-situ. Large resources applicable to the TREE /SUP sm/ process have been identified in southern Wyoming and large potential resources also occur in Colorado, Utah and a number of eastern states. Preliminary mathematical modeling based on the Wyoming resource indicates higher yields rates with the TREE /SUP sm/ process than with conventional in-situ combustion retorting. Forty percent higher oil yields can be experienced with TREE /SUP sm/ over conventional in-situ retorting. With the higher efficiency of the TREE /SUP sm/ process, per barrel production costs can be reduced by over 20%. A screening test was conducted in the Western Research Institute's low void retort to identify potential technological advantages and problems of the process. Preliminary investigation reveals that substantial amounts of sulfur dioxide in the injection gas are removed by the retorted shale.
Inheriting the Earth: Towards a Geotheology of Matthew’s Narrative (2015)

The claim of the Matthean Jesus that “the meek . . . will inherit the earth” (5:5) is unique to the Canonical Gospels and a claim that reflects Psalm 36:11(LXX). This essay examines Matt 5:5 alongside this biblical intertext and within its wider Matthean context to assess its significance within Matthew’s overall narrative. While ultimately “inheritance of the earth” awaits “the renewal of all things” (19:27), the Risen Jesus with “all authority in heaven and on earth” (28:18) calls his disciples to a worldwide mission to “all the nations” (28:19-20) that constitutes proleptically an “inheritance of the earth.”
An Analysis of Enzyme Kinetics Data for Mitochondrial DNA Strand Termination by Nucleoside Reverse Transcription Inhibitors (2009)

Nucleoside analogs used in antiretroviral treatment have been associated with mitochondrial toxicity. The polymerase-gamma hypothesis states that this toxicity stems from the analogs' inhibition of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase (polymerase-gamma) leading to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion. We have constructed a computational model of the interaction of polymerase-gamma with activated nucleoside and nucleotide analog drugs, based on experimentally measured reaction rates and base excision rates, together with the mtDNA genome size, the human mtDNA sequence, and mitochondrial dNTP concentrations. The model predicts an approximately 1000-fold difference in the activated drug concentration required for a 50% probability of mtDNA strand termination between the activated di-deoxy analogs d4T, ddC, and ddI (activated to ddA) and the activated forms of the analogs 3TC, TDF, AZT, FTC, and ABC. These predictions are supported by experimental and clinical data showing significantly greater mtDNA depletion in cell culture and patient samples caused by the di-deoxy analog drugs. For zidovudine (AZT) we calculated a very low mtDNA replication termination probability, in contrast to its reported mitochondrial toxicity in vitro and clinically. Therefore AZT mitochondrial toxicity is likely due to a mechanism that does not involve strand termination of mtDNA replication.
Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT): a bacterial weapon to control host cell proliferation? (2001)

Cytolethal distending toxins (CDT) constitute a family of genetically related bacterial protein toxins able to stop the proliferation of numerous cell lines. This effect is due to their ability to trigger in target cells a signaling pathway that normally prevents the transition between the G2 and the M phase of the cell cycle. Produced by several unrelated Gram-negative mucosa-associated bacterial species, CDTs are determined by a cluster of three adjacent genes (cdtA, cdtB, cdtC) encoding proteins whose respective role is not yet fully elucidated. The CDT-B protein presents sequence homology to several mammalian and bacterial phosphodiesterases, such as DNase I. The putative nuclease activity of CDT-B, together with the activation by CDT of a G2 cell cycle checkpoint, strongly suggests that CDT induces an as yet uncharacterized DNA alteration. However, the effective entry of CDT into cells and subsequent translocation into the nucleus have not yet been demonstrated by direct methods. The relationship between the potential DNA-damaging properties of this original family of toxins and their role as putative virulence factors is discussed.
Enhanced performance of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and OLED-based photoluminescent sensing platforms by novel microstructures and device architectures (2012)

After a general introduction to OLEDs and OLED-based PL sensors, the transient emission mechanism of guest-host OLEDs is described both experimentally and theoretically. A monolithic and easy-to-apply process is demonstrated for fabricating multicolor microcavity OLEDs (that improve the sensor platform). The outcoupling issues of OLEDs at the substrate/air interface are addressed by using a microstructured polymer film resulting from a PS and polyethylene glycol (PEG) mixture. Based on the understanding of OLEDs and their improvement, research was done in order to realize integrated all organic-based O2 and pH sensors with improved signal intensity and sensitivity. The sensor design modification and optimization are summarized
Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 in the Pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (2012)

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by multiple genetic risk factors, high levels of interferon alpha (IFN-α), and the production of autoantibodies against components of the cell nucleus. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor which induces the transcription of IFN-α and other cytokines, and genetic variants of IRF5 have been strongly linked to SLE pathogenesis. IRF5 functions downstream of Toll-like receptors and other microbial pattern-recognition receptors, and immune complexes made up of SLE-associated autoantibodies seem to function as a chronic endogenous stimulus to this pathway. In this paper, we discuss the physiologic role of IRF5 in immune defense and the ways in which IRF5 variants may contribute to the pathogenesis of human SLE. Recent data regarding the role of IRF5 in both serologic autoimmunity and the overproduction of IFN-α in human SLE are summarized. These data support a model in which SLE-risk variants of IRF5 participate in a "feed-forward" mechanism, predisposing to SLE-associated autoantibody formation, and subsequently facilitating IFN-α production downstream of Toll-like receptors stimulated by immune complexes composed of these autoantibodies.
Germanium-tin on Silicon p-i-n Photodiode with Low Dark Current due to Sidewall Surface Passivation (2015)

We demonstrate that the surface leakage current of a Ge0.95Sn0.05/Si p-i-n photodiode can be significantly reduced by ~two orders by Si surface passivation. Furthermore, a dark current density of 0.073A/cm2 (Vbias= −1 V) is achieved.
A dynamic end-to-end security for coordinating multiple protections within a Linux desktop (2010)

Currently, application protection models are mostly static and independent. It means that the applications cannot handle multiple domains to manage accordingly the permissions for a given user request. Managing multiple domains is becoming a more and more common issue as desktop applications are growing in complexity to provide better-designed user interfaces. Today, protection systems are almost everywhere. Multiple systems of protection are available from the Linux kernel such as SELinux or PIGA-Protect to get a Mandatory Protection. Those systems provide a per-syscall validation process. Network protections are also available such as the IPtables firewalling mechanism. But, solutions are missing for coordinating the various mechanisms that protect different levels of the global information system. The purpose is to reuse and coordinate efficiently those different levels of protection in order to provide a end-to-end protection that manages dynamically multiple domains. Thus, the same host can support multiple domains for the user requests while providing a transparent end-to-end security that protects against complex scenarios of attack. This paper describes an attempt to deliver such a system for controlling efficiently the user requests.
Characterization of a cloned Bacillus subtilis gene that inhibits sporulation in multiple copies (1986)

We have isolated a 1.0-kilobase fragment of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome which, when present in high-copy-number plasmids, caused a sporulation-proficient strain to become phenotypically sporulation deficient. This is referred to as the sporulation inhibition (Sin) phenotype. This DNA fragment, in multicopy, also inhibited the production of extracellular protease activity, which normally appears at the beginning of stationary growth. The origin of the fragment was mapped between the dnaE and spo0A genes on the B. subtilis chromosome, and its complete DNA sequence has been determined. By analysis of various deletions and a spontaneous mutant the Sin function was localized to an open reading frame (ORF) predicted from the DNA sequence. Inactivation of this ORF in the chromosome did not affect the ability of cells to sporulate. However, the late-growth-associated production of proteases and alpha-amylase was elevated in these cells. The predicted amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by this ORF had a DNA-binding domain, typically present in several regulatory proteins. We propose that the sin ORF encodes a regulatory protein that is involved in the transition from vegetative growth to sporulation.
Adaptive Web Sites: Conceptual Cluster Mining (1999)

The creation of a complex web site is a thorny problem in. user interface design. In IJCAI &apos;97, we challenged the AI community to address this problem by creating adaptive web sites. In response, we investigate the problem of index page synthesis — the automatic creation of pages that facilitate a visitor&apos;s navigation of a Web site. Previous work has employed statistical methods to generate candidate index pages that are of limited value because they do not correspond to concepts or topics that are intuitive to people. In this paper we formalize index page synthesis as a conceptual clustering problem and introduce a novel approach which we call conceptual cluster mining: we search for a small number of cohesive clusters that correspond to concepts in a given concept description language L. Next, we present SGML, an algorithm schema that combines a statistical clustering algorithm with a concept learning algorithm. The clustering algorithm is used to generate seed clusters, and the concept learning algorithm to describe these seed clusters using expressions in L. Finally, we offer preliminary experimental evidence that instantiations of SGML outperform existing algorithms (e.g., COBWEB) in this domain. 1
INHERITANCE OF ADULT-PLANT LEAF RUST RESISTANCE DERIVED FROM THE COMMON WHEAT VARIETIES EXCHANGE AND FRONTANA (1966)

Introdllction Resistance of wheat to leaf rust, caused by Pucci~zin reco7zclitn Rob. ex Desm. f. sp. tritici, may be expressed at the first-leaf stage (seedling resistancc) or only at some subsequent stage of plant development (adult-plant resistance). Seedling-plant reactions are used for the identification of rust races, and thc genetic behaviour of many genes for seedling resistance has becn thoroughly investigated. In contrast, the nature of adult-plant resistance is poorly understood. I t is also not known how genes for adult-plant resistance and the corresponding genes for virulence and avirulence in thc pathooen fit current 4 concepts of host-parasite interactions. Investigations into thc inheritance of this forill of resistancc have not been too successful but suggest a morc con~plcx situation than is common with genes conditioning secdling resistancc. In this investigation the inheritance of adult-plant resistance was studied in the common \\,heat varieties Exchange and Frontana, and varicties that havc rcsistancc transferred from these varietics by bacltcrossing. Exchangc and Frontana arc highly resistant to leaf rust under field conditions in Canada.
High Mobility, Printable, and Solution-Processed Graphene Electronics (2009)

The ability to print graphene sheets onto large scale, flexible substrates holds promise for large scale, transparent electronics on flexible substrates. Solution processable graphene sheets derived from graphite can form stable dispersions in solutions and are amenable to bulk scale processing and ink jet printing. However, the electrical conductivity and carrier mobilities of this material are usually reported to be orders of magnitude poorer than that of the mechanically cleaved counterpart due to its higher density of defects, which restricts its use in electronics. Here, we show that by optimizing several key factors in processing, we are able to fabricate high mobility graphene films derived from large sized graphene oxide sheets, which paves the way for all-carbon post-CMOS electronics. All-carbon source-drain channel electronics fabricated from such films exhibit significantly improved transport characteristics, with carrier mobilities of 365 cm(2)/(V.s) for hole and 281 cm(2)/(V.s) for electron, measured in air at room temperature. In particular, intrinsic mobility as high as 5000 cm(2)/(V.s) can be obtained from such solution-processed graphene films when ionic screening is applied to nullify the Coulombic scattering by charged impurities.
<i>Low glutelin content1</i>: A Dominant Mutation That Suppresses the <i>Glutelin</i> Multigene Family via RNA Silencing in Rice[W] (2003)

Low glutelin content1 (Lgc1) is a dominant mutation that reduces glutelin content in rice grains. Glutelin is a major seed storage protein encoded by a multigene family. RNA gel blot and reverse transcriptase-mediated PCR analyses revealed that Lgc1 acts at the mRNA level in a similarity-dependent manner. In Lgc1 homozygotes, there is a 3.5-kb deletion between two highly similar glutelin genes that forms a tail-to-tail inverted repeat, which might produce a double-stranded RNA molecule, a potent inducer of RNA silencing. The hypothesis that Lgc1 suppresses glutelin expression via RNA silencing is supported by transgenic analysis using this Lgc1 candidate region, by reporter gene analysis, and by the detection of small interfering RNAs. In this context, Lgc1 provides an interesting example of RNA silencing occurring among genes that exhibit various levels of similarity to an RNA-silencing-inducing gene. Possible mechanisms for gene silencing of the glutelin multigene family by Lgc1 are discussed.
Vehicle Re-Identification by Adversarial Bi-Directional LSTM Network (2018)

Vehicle re-identification (re-ID) is an area that has received far less attention in the computer vision community than the prevalent person re-ID. Possible reasons for this slow progress are the lack of appropriate research data and the special 3D structure of a vehicle. Previous works have generally focused on limited views (e.g. front and rear), but these methods are less effective in realistic scenarios where vehicles usually appear in arbitrary views to cameras. In this paper, we focus on the uncertainty of vehicle viewpoint in re-ID, proposing an Adversarial Bi-directional LSTM Network (ABLN). Our model exploits the great advantages of the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to model transformations across continuous view variations of a vehicle and adopts the adversarial architecture to enhance training. Thus, a global vehicle representation containing all views' information can be inferred from only one visible view, and then used for learning to measure the distance between two vehicles with arbitrary views. To verify our model, we evaluate the proposed method on the public VehicleID and VeRi datasets. Experimental results illustrate that our approach achieves consistent improvements over state-of-the-art vehicle re-ID methods.

A Subset of Viral Transcripts Packaged Within Human Cytomegalovirus Particles (2000)

A human cytomegalovirus gene array was used to identify a previously unidentified class of viral transcripts. These transcripts, termed virion RNAs, were packaged within infectious virions and were delivered to the host cell on infection. This mechanism of herpesvirus gene expression allows for viral genes to be expressed within an infected cell immediately after virus entry and in the absence of transcription from the viral genome.
Monitoring Software Vulnerabilities through Social Networks Analysis (2015)

Monitoring software vulnerability information requires an important financial and human effort in order to track all the scattered sources publishing the last news about software vulnerabilities, patches and exploits. We noticed that in some social networks like Twitter we can aggregate a lot of information related to software vulnerabilities in a single channel. In this paper, we analyse the Twitter feed in order to monitor most of the information related to software vulnerabilities including zero-day publications.
Obfuscate arrays by homomorphic functions (2006)

As various computers are connected into a world wide network, software protections becomes a more and more im- portant issue for software users and developers. There are some technical measures for software protections, such as hardware- based protections and software-based techniques, etc. Software obfuscation is one of these measures. It protects software from unauthorized modification by making software more obscure so that it is hard for the potential attacker to understand the obfuscated software. Chow et al. use residue number technique to software obfuscation by encoding variables in the original program to hide the true meaning of these variables (1). There is some discussion about the division of residue numbers in (1), but, in order to lay a sound ground for this technique, we proposed homomorphic functions in (2) to deal with division by several constants in residue numbers. Data structures are important components of programme and they are key clues for people to understand codes. Obfuscating data structures of programme will make it very hard for an enemy to attack them. In this paper, we apply homomorphic functions to obfuscating the data structures of software.
Enhanced electrode design for peripheral nerve recording (2013)

Electrical recording of peripheral nerve activity using a nerve cuff electrode is a potential long-term solution for implementing a closed-loop controlled neuroprosthetic system. However, the clinical utility of this approach is significantly limited by various factors, such as poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the recorded electroneurogram (ENG). In this paper, we investigated the effects of (1) modifying the electrode contact dimensions and (2) implementing an external shielding layer on the ENG recorded by a nerve cuff electrode. Our preliminary findings from both computer simulations and animal experiments suggest that significant improvements in peripheral nerve recordings can be achieved.
An artificial intelligence approach to VLSI design (1985)

From the Publisher:
VLSI design synthesis is a method for designing hardware that starts an algorithmic description and uses interactive computer programs to a finished design. This structured approach can decrease the time takes to design a chip, automatically provide multi-level documentation the finished design, and create reliable and testable designs. VLSI synthesis is a difficult problem because the huge number of facts implicit dynamic constraints do not lend themselves to a recipe-like solution. However, the Knowledge Based Expert System, KBES, approach provides a framework for organizing solutions to problems that are currrently solved by experts using large amounts of domain-specific knowledge.
Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles via Controlled Hydrolysis and Condensation of Silicon Alkoxide (2009)

The cooperative self-assembly of silica species and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTA+Cl− or CTAC) and the formation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles occur following the hydrolysis and condensation of silica precursor TEOS in the solution. The particle size can be controlled from ∼25 nm to ∼200 nm by adding suitable additive agents (e.g., inorganic bases, alcohols) which affect the hydrolysis and condensation of silica species. The in situ pH measurement of synthesis system is introduced to investigate the formation process of mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Our results show that a certain acid−base buffer capacity of the reaction mixture in a range of pH 6−10 is essential for the formation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles in the TEOS−CTA+ system. The nucleation and growth process of the nanoparticles can be extended into the self-assembly system of inorganic−surfactant and the formation of mesophase in aqueous media.
