Nitric oxide breath testing by tunable-diode laser absorption spectroscopy: application in monitoring respiratory inflammation (2002)

We used a high-resolution mid-IR tunable-laser absorption spectroscopy (TLAS) system with a single IV-VI laser operating near 5.2 microm to measure the level of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) in human breath. A method of internal calibration using simultaneous eNO and exhaled CO2 measurements eliminated the need for system calibration with gas standards. The results observed from internally calibrating the instrument for eNO measurements were compared with measurements of eNO calibrated to gas standards and were found to be similar. Various parameters of the TLAS system for eNO breath testing were examined and include gas cell pressure, exhalation time, and ambient NO concentrations. A reduction in eNO from elevated concentrations (approximately 44 parts in 10(9)) to near-normal levels (<20 parts in 10(9)) from an asthmatic patient was observed after the patient had received treatment with an inhaled glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory medication. Such measurements can help in evaluating airway inflammation and in monitoring the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory therapies.
Random forest classifier based multi-document summarization system (2013)

In the recent times, the requirement for generation of multi-document summary has gained a lot of attention among the researchers due to the information explosion in the web media. Mostly, the text summarization technique uses the sentence extraction technique where the salient sentences in the multiple documents are extracted and presented as a summary. In our proposed system, we have developed a random forest classifier based multi-document summarization system that differentiates the sentences in the multiple documents as one belonging to the summary or not belonging to the summary. For this each sentence in the documents is represented by a set of feature scores. Classifier is trained using feature scores and summary information of each sentence in the document set. Feature scores of sentences of multiple documents to be summarized are given as the test document for the classifier. From the output of the classifier, sentences that belonging to the summary class, a required size summary is generated using Maximal Marginal Relevance. The experiments are conducted using the DUC 2002 dataset and its corresponding summary. Experimental results show the quality of the summary generated by this method is good in terms of relevance and novelty.

Downregulation of Histone H3 Lysine 9 Methyltransferase G9a Induces Centrosome Disruption and Chromosome Instability in Cancer Cells (2008)

These data suggest that the 2 HMTs, SUV39H1 and G9a are required to perpetuate the malignant phenotype. Furthermore, G9a plays a critical role in regulating centrosome duplication presumably through chromatin structure rather than through affecting gene expression in cancer cells. Targeting these histone methyltransferases may be of therapeutic benefit in cancers.
Randomly Interesterified Triacylglycerol Containing Medium- and Long-Chain Fatty Acids Stimulates Fatty Acid Metabolism in White Adipose Tissue of Rats (2006)

We have reported previously that randomly interesterified triacylglycerol containing medium- and long-chain fatty acids in the same glycerol molecule (MLCT) resulted in significantly lower body fat accumulation and higher hepatic fatty acid oxidation than from long-chain triacylglycerol (LCT) in rats. To understand the metabolic changes occurring in white adipose tissue, the fatty acid oxidation and synthesis, and the adipocytokine level were measured in rats fed with MLCT or LCT for 2 weeks. In comparison with LCT, MLCT lowered not only the fatty acid synthase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activities in perirenal adipose tissue, but also the serum insulin and leptin levels, in addition to significantly reducing the body fat accumulation. In contrast, fatty acid oxidation measured as the carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity in the tissue was significantly higher in the MLCT-fed rats than in the LCT-fed rats. It seems that the altered fatty acid metabolism in adipose tissue per se was also responsible for the lower adiposity by dietary MLCT.
When the patient is a colleague... (2013)

Looking after our patients becomes easy. It is intrinsic to our everyday practice. What does become more difficult is looking after our colleagues or VIP (very important person) patients. These patients have unique circumstances that impact on the doctor-patient relationship - perhaps due to there being a pre-existing friendship or student-teacher relationship.
Spatial organization of the mammalian genome surveillance machinery in response to DNA strand breaks (2006)

We show that DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) induce complex subcompartmentalization of genome surveillance regulators. Chromatin marked by gamma-H2AX is occupied by ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase, Mdc1, and 53BP1. In contrast, repair factors (Rad51, Rad52, BRCA2, and FANCD2), ATM and Rad-3-related (ATR) cascade (ATR, ATR interacting protein, and replication protein A), and the DNA clamp (Rad17 and -9) accumulate in subchromatin microcompartments delineated by single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). BRCA1 and the Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 complex interact with both of these compartments. Importantly, some core DSB regulators do not form cytologically discernible foci. These are further subclassified to proteins that connect DSBs with the rest of the nucleus (Chk1 and -2), that assemble at unprocessed DSBs (DNA-PK/Ku70), and that exist on chromatin as preassembled complexes but become locally modified after DNA damage (Smc1/Smc3). Finally, checkpoint effectors such as p53 and Cdc25A do not accumulate at DSBs at all. We propose that subclassification of DSB regulators according to their residence sites provides a useful framework for understanding their involvement in diverse processes of genome surveillance.

Technology and Privacy: The New Landscape (1998)

From the Publisher:
Privacy is the capacity to negotiate social relationships by controlling access to information about oneself. As laws, policies, and technological developments increasingly structure our relationships with social institutions, privacy faces new threats and new opportunities. The essays in this book provide a new conceptual framework for analyzing and debating privacy policy and for designing and developing information systems. The authors are international experts in the technical, economic, and political aspects of privacy; the book's particular strengths are its synthesis of these three aspects and its treatment of privacy issues in Canada and in Europe as well as in the United States.
Algorithms for compressing GPS trajectory data (2010)

The massive volumes of trajectory data generated by inexpensive GPS devices have led to difficulties in processing, querying, transmitting and storing such data. To overcome these difficulties, a number of algorithms for compressing trajectory data have been proposed. These algorithms try to reduce the size of trajectory data, while preserving the quality of the information. We present results from a comprehensive empirical evaluation of many compression algorithms including Douglas-Peucker Algorithm, Bellman's Algorithm, STTrace Algorithm and Opening Window Algorithms. Our empirical study uses different types of real-world data such as pedestrian, vehicle and multimodal trajectories. The algorithms are compared using several criteria including execution times and the errors caused by compressing spatio-temporal information, across numerous real-world datasets and various error metrics.
Real-time ambient noise cancellation for EMI measurements on open area test sites (2012)

According to the standard CISPR 16-2-3 measurements of electromagnetic interferences (EMI) are carried out either in anechoic chambers or on open area test sites. For testing on open test sites it is necessary to choose a remote location where man-made noise is minimum to avoid covering of the emissions of the device under test by ambient signals. The regulated measurement setup and procedure, described in the standard, is mandatory for compliance measurements and reproducible measurement results of radiated emission measurements in the range of 30MHz to 1 GHz. In this paper methods are presented to suppress unwanted ambient noise and thus allow to perform measurements on noise polluted open test sites. By using ultra high-speed analog-to-digital converters sampling the emissions signal in time-domain and applying the fast Fourier transformation EMI measurements are sped-up by several orders of magnitude compared to measurements carried out with traditional heterodyne receivers operating in frequency domain. Combining the time-domain technology together with adaptive filter techniques the presented system can perform ultra-fast emission measurements in the presence of ambient noise. Advanced strategies with real-time capability for adaptive noise cancellation based on a powerful hardware platform are shown. Frequency domain and time-domain adaptive filtering are compared. The adaptive filter algorithms are investigated and enhanced in respect of implementing the noise cancelling algorithm on field programmable gate arrays ensuring a continuously high data-throughput by an optimized digital signal processing in real-time. Measurements up to 1 GHz are carried out on inner urban sites. Ambient noise suppressing in real-time is shown in frequency bands of over 125MHz at once.
Uniformly doped InAs∕GaAs quantum-dot infrared photodetector structures (2005)

We have studied InAs∕GaAs quantum-dot photodetector devices that are sensitive to normal incidence radiation. Photoluminescence measurements indicate that there are three bound states within the conduction band of the quantum dots. The detector structures were uniformly doped to supply approximately 9 electrons per dot. The peak of the photoresponse spectrum is observed at about 5.12 μm. In general the characteristics of our devices are similar to those where the dopant impurities are placed within the wetting layer or just below the quantum dots.

Highly Stable Battery Pack via Insulated, Reinforced, Buckling‐Enabled Interconnect Array (2018)

This work describes a flexible and stretchable battery pack configuration that exhibits highly stable performance under large deformation up to 100% biaxial stretching. Using stress-enduring printable inks and serpentine interconnects, the new screen-printing route offers an attractive solution for converting rigid battery units into a flexible, stretchable energy storage device. Coin-cell lithium ion batteries are thus assembled onto the island regions of a screen-printed, buckling-enabled, polymer-reinforced interconnect "island-bridge" array. Most of the strain on the new energy-storage device is thus accommodated by the stress-enduring serpentine structures, and the array is further reinforced by mechanically strong "backbone" layers. Battery pack arrays are assembled and tested under different deformation levels, demonstrating a highly stable performance (<2.5% change) under all test conditions. A light emitting diode band powered by the battery pack is tested on-body, showing uninterrupted illumination regardless of any degrees of deformation. Moreover, battery-powered devices that are ultrastable under large deformation can be easily fabricated by incorporating different electronics parts such as sensors or integrated circuits on the same platform. Such ability to apply traditionally rigid, bulky lithium ion batteries onto flexible and stretchable printed surfaces holds considerable promise for diverse wearable applications.
Evaluation of indoor location based on combination of AGPS/ HSGPS (2008)

In this paper, the proposed system depends on the assist GPS (AGPS) idea in order to calculate the user position inside a building by using a roof-antenna (at known position) that has LOS with satellites. The antenna receives navigation data and sends it to the user using a wireless network. The distance between the user and the roof antenna is assumed less than 300m. In this case, the time delay between them is approximately equal to 1 Clear/Acquisition (C/A) code chip period, and it is detected by using autocorrelation with error in cm. In the simulations, real data from a GPS receiver were used. The effect of Geometric Dilution Of Precision (GDOP) on user position calculation is discussed for different GPS times, satellite numbers and combinations of them. The error in user position calculation is directly proportional to GDOP, which is decreased when the number of satellites is increased. GDOP also increases when the user clock bias error is increased, especially when the number of satellites is less than 5; yet, it is not affected by the user position. Generally, the error in user position estimation using this method is small and acceptable for most indoor applications.
High Stress and Low Income: The Environment of Poverty (2002)

Peripheral serum levels of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), unconjugated and total oestrone, and unconjugated oestradiol-17 beta were measured twice in 60 cases of early normal pregnancy (gestational weeks 6-19). Although highly significant correlations between TBG and oestrogen levels were obtained in the total material, the correlations within two-week intervals of pregnancy were rather poor and mostly insignificant. Furthermore, there were no associations at all between the increase rates of TBG and those of the oestrogens, either within two-week intervals or in the total material. The findings do not support the common concept of continuously rising oestrogen stimulation as the main factor affecting the TBG synthesis during pregnancy.
ARRHENIUS LAW MODIFICATION FOR TURBULENT COMBUSTION MODELING (2010)

In the Arrhenius law, the effects of turbulent fluctuations on rate of reactions are ignored. The model is generally inaccurate for turbulent flames due to highly non-linear Arrhenius chemical kinetics. Currently great deals of the CFD studies make use of the Eddy- Dissipation Model for investigation of turbulent combustion. Although CFD software such as Fluent allows multi-step reaction mechanisms applying the eddy-dissipation model, they will likely produce incorrect solutions. The reason is that multi-step chemical mechanisms are based on Arrhenius rates, which differ for each reaction. In this paper, a turbulent-chemistry interaction model is developed for numerical investigation of turbulent combustion according to Arrhenius law, which can be generalized to a wide range of complexity, from a single global reaction to a detailed reaction mechanism involving perhaps hundreds of species. It is achieved by introducing a correction turbulent factor (based on turbulent viscosity) added to temperature terms in Arrhenius law. Then, the modified Arrhenius law by this way is applied to simulate an air-methane diffusion flame. The results show that the modified Arrhenius model is in better agreement with the probability density distribution function (PDF) results than eddy-dissipation.
Modeling Low-Temperature Gas Reburning. NO<i><sub>x</sub></i> Reduction Potential and Effects of Mixing (1998)

A model for simulating reburning in semi-industrial scale has been developed. It consists of a recently developed reaction mechanism for reburning with C1 and C2 hydrocarbons, in combination with ideal reactor modeling and a simplified mixing approach. The reaction mechanism as well as the mixing model has been validated separately against experimental data from laboratory and pilot scale tests. Modeling predictions have been compared with experimental data from a number of pilot scale studies of gas reburning with good results. The large differences in reburn efficiency reported in different low-temperature pilot scale experiments are reconciled in terms of the different operating conditions used. The model has been used to assess the potential of the reburn process at low temperatures, and recommendations for process optimization are provided. Results show that the low-temperature gas reburn process has a significant potential for NO reduction and that both the reburn and burnout regions are important in process optimization.

Molecular Detection of Genes Responsible for Cyanobacterial Toxin Production in the Genera <I>Microcystis</i>, <I>Nodularia</i>, and <I>Cylindrospermopsis</i> (2004)

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in the freshwater environment. Their success as a group in a wide range of aquatic habitats has been attributed to their unique physiological characteristics and their high adaptive ability over a wide range of environmental conditions. They are capable of reaching very high biomass levels, often dominating the other aquatic biota, and under some circumstances can accumulate near the water surface, producing scums. Such cyanobacterial "blooms" are of particular concern in reservoirs used to supply potable water. Dense aggregations of cyanobacterial cells may block water filters, and many species produce compounds that affect the taste and odor of water supplies. Of greatest concern, however, is the potential of many bloom-forming cyanobacteria to produce a wide range of toxic substances. These natural compounds, known as cyanotoxins, are chemically diverse and are usually either neuro- or hepatotoxic in pathology.
Formation Criterion for Synthetic Jets (2005)

Af ormation criterion for synthetic jets is proposed and validated. A synthetic jet actuator is a zero-net mass-flux device that imparts momentum to its surroundings. Je tf ormation is defined as the appearance of a time-averaged outward velocity along the jet axis and corresponds to the generation and subsequent convection or escape of a vortex ring. It is shown that over a wide range of operating conditions synthetic jet formation is governed by the jet Strouhal number Sr (or Reynolds number Re and Stokes number S). Both numerical simulations and experiments are performed to supplement available two-dimensional and axisymmetric synthetic jet formation data in the literature. The data support the jet formation criterion 1/Sr = Re/S 2 > K, where the constant K is approximately 1 and 0.16 for two-dimensional and axisymmetric synthetic jets, respectively. In addition, the dependence of the constant K on the normalized radius of curvature of a rounded orifice or slot is addressed. The criterion is expected to serve as a useful design guide for synthetic jet formation in flow control, heat transfer, and acoustic liner applications, in which a stronger jet is synonymous with increased momentum transfer, vorticity generation, and acoustic nonlinearities.
Kinetics of zinc toxicity to environmental bacterial isolates (2009)

Toxicity of zinc to Pseudomonas, Escherichia, Proteus, Bacillus and Arthrobacter species isolated from a tropical river and petroleum refinery effluent was assessed using TTCdehydrogenase activity (DHA) inhibition test. At sufficient concentrations, zinc is toxic to these bacterial cells, and the exposure of the cells to zinc ion resulted in repression of dehydrogenase activity. The patterns of these toxic effects can be mathematically described with logistic dose-response models and in a manner similar to the non-competitive inhibition of enzymes. The threshold concentration above which toxic effect is observed ranged from 0.008 mM for Pseudomonas sp. DAF1 to 0.364 mM for Proteus sp. PLK2. The coefficients of inhibition K i correlated with the IC 50 and indicate that zinc toxicity is dependent on the organism. The K i and toxicity threshold values predicted from the equations are comparable and are suitable indicators for kinetic analyses of zinc toxicity against bacteria.
