Molecular thermometers for potential applications in thermal ablation procedures (2013)

Thermal ablation is a promising minimally invasive method for treating tumors without surgical intervention. Thermal ablation uses thermal sources such as lasers, radiowaves or focused ultrasound to increase the temperature of the tumor to levels lethal to cancer cells. This treatment based on heat therapy may be problematic as the temperature of the operation site is unknown. To address this problem, we developed optical molecular thermometers that can potentially measure the temperature on a molecular scale and be compatible with in vivo measurements. The thermometers are centered on a combination of two fluorophores emitting in two distinct spectral ranges and having different temperature-dependent emission properties. In this design, a fluorophore with relatively insensitive temperature-dependent fluorescence serves as a reference while another sensitive fluorophore serves as a sensor. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this approach using a coumarin-rhodamine conjugate. The sensitivity of the construct to the clinically relevant ablation temperatures (20-85 °C) was demonstrated in vitro.
Sensory ocular dominance based on resolution acuity, contrast sensitivity and alignment sensitivity (2008)

Background: Ocular dominance is the superiority or preference of one eye over the other in terms of sighting, sensory function (for example, visual acuity) or persistence in binocular rivalry. There is poor agreement between sighting and sensory dominance and findings are equivocal on the possible neural basis of ocular dominance and its significance. Thus, there are questions on the meaning and importance of ocular dominance. Despite the lack of clarity in this area, ocular dominance is used clinically, for example, as the basis for decisions on monovision in contact lens wear and on treatment of anomalies of binocular vision.Methods: Sighting dominance and three types of sensory dominance (based on resolution acuity, contrast sensitivity and alignment sensitivity) were compared within individuals, with the main aim of determining whether sensory dominance is consistent across spatial visual functions.Results: Our findings indicate that each type of sensory dominance is insignificant in most individuals and in agreement with previous work that sensory and sighting dominance do not generally agree.Conclusion: These results demonstrate not only that different types of ocular dominance are not in agreement but also that in the normal visual system sensory dominance as measured here is insignificant in most individuals with normal vision.

BOAT adaptive credit card fraud detection system (2010)

Fraud is increasing with the extensive use of internet and the increase of online transactions. More advanced solutions are desired to protect financial service companies and credit card holders from constantly evolving online fraud attacks. The main objective of this paper is to construct an efficient fraud detection system which is adaptive to the behavior changes by combining classification and clustering techniques. This is a two stage fraud detection system which compares the incoming transaction against the transaction history to identify the anomaly using BOAT algorithm in the first stage. In second stage to reduce the false alarm rate suspected anomalies are checked with the fraud history database and make sure that the detected anomalies are due to fraudulent transaction or any short term change in spending profile. In this work BOAT supports incremental update of transactional database and it handles maximum fraud coverage with high speed and less cost. Proposed model is evaluated on both synthetically generated and real life data and shows very good accuracy in detecting fraud transaction.
Update on apelin peptides as putative targets for cardiovascular drug discovery (2011)

More clarity is needed on the precise physiological/pathophysiological role of the apelin/APJ system in human health and disease. Nonetheless, preclinical studies and initial studies in humans show that APJ antagonism may represent a novel therapeutic target for patients with cardiovascular disease. Development of appropriately validated assays for apelin will clarify circulating levels of the peptide in health and disease. Development of suitable agonists/antagonists will pave the way for much needed future studies essential for advancing this promising field of drug discovery.
Pinacyanol as effective probe of fibrillar β‐amyloid peptide: Comparative study with Congo Red (2003)

The binding of pinacyanol (PIN), a cationic cyanine dye, to beta-amyloid fibrils (Abeta), which are associated with Alzheimer disease, was quantified by absorption spectrophotometry to measure the concentration of PIN bound to Abeta as a function of the Abeta concentration or by means of the separation of free PIN from bound PIN by centrifugation and subsequent analysis of the supernatant by visible-absorption spectrophotometry. Both methods gave equivalent results. The stoichiometry of PIN binding to Abeta was 1, and the curve representing the concentration effect of Abeta on the concentration of a dye-Abeta complex showed a biphasic curve instead of the hyperbolic curve that is characteristic of weak ligand-macromolecule interactions [e.g., as shown by Congo Red (CR)]). This and the fact that a Scatchard plot could not be fitted to the experimental data suggested that PIN binds tightly to Abeta. A comparison to the interaction of CR with Abeta led us to conclude that PIN is more sensitive than CR.
Comparative Study of Protective Effects of Chitin, Chitosan, and N-Acetyl Chitohexaose against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes Infections in Mice (2003)

We conducted a comparative study of the protective effects of chitin, chitosan, and N-acetyl chitohexaose (NACOS-6) against mice infected intravenously or intraperitoneally with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Listeria monocytogenes. Mice pretreated with chitin, chitosan, and NACOS-6 showed resistance to intraperitoneal infections by both microbes. Only mice pretreated with chitin and chitosan showed resistance to intravenous infections by both microbes. The number, active oxygen generation, and myeloperoxidase activity of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) in the chitin, chitosan, and NACOS-6-treated mice were greater than those of the untreated mice. Also, these PEC factors from mice pretreated with chitin and chitosan were greater than those from the NACOS-6-treated mice.
In search of efficacy and efficiency. An alternative to conventional wound cleansing modalities. (1992)

Based upon the above results, Dey-Wash was found to be an effective wound cleansing agent. In over 80% of the patients, it cleansed the wound of exudate and debris in less than half the time and without the effort or abundance of materials required by the bulb syringe method. While splashback was reported by some nurses, this risk exists for all methods. Inservicing and protocols based on universal precautions will decrease the occurrence of this problem. As nurses became familiar with the proper angle and distance for applying the Dey-Wash, the problem of splashback became more manageable. Effective wound cleansing is a very necessary step in the wound healing process. The literature clearly describes the importance and variances of this practice in terms of different methodologies. Knowledge of the current literature concerning wound irrigation can guide nursing actions. Emphasis continues to be placed on appropriate utilization of nursing time and materials. Therefore, it is in the best interest of healthcare providers to evaluate new materials and methods in order to maximize care and facilitate optimum wound healing.

The selection of thin epithelial layers: a method for single cell preparations of very small biopsies from the vocal cords. (1990)

Precancerous lesions in biopsy material very rarely contain more than a thin epithelial layer of atypical cells overlaying stromal parts. This makes it difficult to produce cell monolayers for cytometry from archival material and necessitates a technique which excludes the stromal areas. We have developed a method by which it is possible to separate epithelial layers from the stroma with a thickness of 100-200 microns, using fluorescence microscopy and dissection under a stereo microscope. The stroma can be used as an internal reference in IOD measurements. Our method insures maximum control when dealing with very small lesions of interest (down to 0.02 mm2) that have to be separated from the rest of the biopsy. The method has been applied to normal, dysplastic and cancerous epithelial parts of biopsies of the vocal chords.

MOLUSKA BAKAU SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF SUMBER PANGAN BERDAULAT (2017)

Kedaulatan pangan adalah hak dimana masyarakat memiliki akses terhadap makanan yang sehat dan dianggap layak sesuai dengan budaya di tempat mereka tinggal. Kedaulatan pangan merupakan konsep yang meletakkan petani (produsen), distributor dan konsumen sebagai aktor yang menentukan proses produksi pangan secara keseluruhan. Kedaulatan pangan juga lebih mengedepankan kepentingan generasi yang akan dibandingkan kepentingan pasar atau korporasi. Dalam rangka mencapai status kedaulatan pangan, Indonesia sebagai negara archipelago harus mencari alternatif sumber pangan yang berasal dari ekosistem akustik daripada hanya bergantung pada sumber makanan di daratan. Oleh karena itu, tujuan artikel ilmiah ini adalah; (1) mencari alternatif sumber pangan yang berasal dari daerah perairan, (2) meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat akan perlunya alternatif sumber pangan, (3) memperkenalkan moluska bakau atau mangrove sebagai sumber pangan yang memiliki gizi tinggi. Moluska bakau dapat dijadikan solusi dalam menangani isu kedaulatan pangan di Indonesia. Salah satu contoh dari moluska bakau yang menunjukkan kandungan nutrisi tinggi adalah Telescopium telescopium atau lebih dikenal sebagai Horn snail. Kandungan proteinnya mencapai 16,8 gram 8,5 gram karbaohidrat, 1,2 gram lemak dan 802 mg kalsium. Oleh karena itu, konsumsi moluska bakau sebagai alternatif pangan sangatlah baik sebagai pemenuhan kebutuhan gizi.

Register allocation using circular FIFOs (1996)

In this paper, we study the memory allocation problem in data path synthesis. We propose a register organization called circular FIFO as an alternative to register file organization. In comparison with register file organization, FIFO organization eliminates the overhead of address generation and decoding hardware. The memory allocation problem, based on the circular FIFO organization, has been solved efficiently using constraint logic and interval constraint programming.

Influence of Spices on Histological Characteristic of Beef (1987)

The study was carried out to observe some fundamental effect of spices on tenderization of beef, particularly round muscle part. The study has been investigated analytically in terms of histological and sensory test to compare the tenderizing effect of the spices with respective effect of commercial meat tenderizer and mechanical tenderizer on beef. The results of formal titration assay using casein as a substrate were that garlic, radish and ginger were stronger in protein hydrolysis than the other spices. Beef with spice treatment produced partial degradation of muscle fiber and connective tissue. Connective tissues and muscle fiber were generally degraded conspicuously by the treatment of commercial meat tenderizer. A general disruption and severing of muscle fibers and severing of connective tissue were seen in the area of blade penetration. The results of sensory test on the texture were that F-value of 11.27 is significant at the 1% of the sample. Beef treated with spices was significantly tenderer than beef without treatment at 5% level.
Safe query objects: statically typed objects as remotely executable queries (2005)

Developers of data-intensive applications are increasingly using persistence frameworks such as EJB, Hibernate and JDO to access relational data. These frameworks support both transparent persistence for individual objects and explicit queries to efficiently search large collections of objects. While transparent persistence is statically typed, explicit queries do not support static checking of types or syntax because queries are manipulated as strings and interpreted at runtime. This paper presents safe query objects, a technique for representing queries as statically typed objects while still supporting remote execution by a database server. Safe query objects use object-relational mapping and reflective metaprogramming to translate query classes into traditional database queries. The model supports complex queries with joins, parameters, existentials, and dynamic criteria. A prototype implementation for JDO provides a type-safe interface to the full query functionality in the JDO 1.0 standard.
A novel cell structure suitable for a 3 volt operation, sector erase flash memory (1992)

A novel flash cell structure named DINOR (DIvided bit-line NOR) whose bit-line is divided into main and sub bit-line, having a unit consisting of one select transistor and 8 stacked gate cells, is proposed. By combining this cell structure and gate-biased FN erase/write operation, we have succeeded in making a cell that has little drain disturb, high over erasure tolerance, low power dissipation, possibility of 3 volt operation, high data transfer rate, and small erase unit, without losing fast random access. All of the disturbs and single-cell endurance characteristics proved to be acceptable. Moreover, using several self-align processes, 2.88 mu m/sup 2/ cell size based on 0.5 mu m CMOS process is realized, which is a 20% cell area reduction compared with the conventional NOR cell.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Validating SAT Solvers Using an Independent Resolution-Based Checker: Practical Implementations and Other Applications (2003)

As the use of SAT solvers as core engines in EDA applications grows, it becomes increasingly important to validate their correctness. In this paper, we describe the implementation of an independent resolution-based checking procedure that can check the validity of unsatisfiable claims produced by the SAT solver zchaff. We examine the practical implementation issues of such a checker and describe two implementations with different pros and cons. Experimental results show low overhead for the checking process. Our checker can work with many other modern SAT solvers with minor modifications, and it can provide information for debugging when checking fails. Finally we describe additional results that can be obtained by the validation process and briefly discuss their applications.
Migration of superior vena cava stent (2008)

There has been a recent increase in the use of endovascular prostheses resulting in complex surgical and interventional complications not previously recognised. We report a case of Superior vena cava stenosis treated with a wallstent which migrated to the right atrium, necessitating a combined radiological and surgical approach to retrieve it.
Modeling and Optimization of the Step Coverage of Tungsten LPCVD in Trenches and Contact Holes (1991)

A model is presented to calculate the step coverage of blanket tungsten low pressure chemical vapor deposition(W-LPCVD) from tungsten hexafluoride (WF6). The model can calculate tungsten growth in trenches and circular contactholes, in the case of the WF6 reduction by H2, SiH4, or both. The step coverage model predictions have been verified experimentallyby scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We found that the predictions of the step coverage model for the H2 reductionof WF6 are very accurate, if the partial pressures of the reactants at the inlet of the trench or contact hole areknown. To get these reactant inlet partial pressures, we used a reactor model which calculates the surface partial pressuresof all the reactants. These calculated surface partial pressures are used as input for our step coverage model. In this studywe showed that thermodiffusion plays a very important role in the actual surface partial pressure. In the case where SiH4was present in the gas mixture trends are predicted very well but the absolute values predicted by the step coveragemodel are too high. The partial pressure of HF, which is a by-product of the H2 reduction reaction, may be very high insidetrenches or contact holes, especially just before closing of the trench or contact hole. We found no influence of the calculatedHF partial pressure on the step coverage. Differences between step coverage in trenches and contact holes, as predictedby the step coverage model, were found to agree with the experiments. It is shown that the combination of the stepcoverage and reactor model is very useful in the optimization towards high step coverage, high throughput, and low WF6flow. We found a perfect step coverage (no void formation) in a 2 µm wide and 10 µm deep (2 × 10 µm) trench using anaverage WF6 flow of only 35 sccm, at a growth rate of 150 nm/min. In general, it is shown that the reduction of WF6 by SiH4offers no advantages over the reduction by H2 as far as step coverage is concerned.
Bacterial adhesion to hydroxyl- and methyl-terminated alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (1995)

The attachment of bacteria to solid surfaces is influenced by substratum chemistry, but to determine the mechanistic basis of this relationship, homogeneous, well-defined substrata are required. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were constructed from alkanethiols to produce a range of substrata with different exposed functional groups, i.e., methyl and hydroxyl groups and a series of mixtures of the two. Percentages of hydroxyl groups in the SAMs and substratum wettability were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angles of water and hexadecane, respectively. SAMs exhibited various substratum compositions and wettabilities, ranging from hydrophilic, hydroxyl-terminated monolayers to hydrophobic, methyl-terminated monolayers. The kinetics of attachment of an estuarine bacterium to these surfaces in a laminar flow chamber were measured over periods of 120 min. The initial rate of net adhesion, the number of cells attached after 120 min, the percentage of attached cells that adsorbed or desorbed between successive measurements, and the residence times of attached cells were quantified by phase-contrast microscopy and digital image processing. The greatest numbers of attached cells occurred on hydrophobic surfaces, because (i) the initial rates of adhesion and the mean numbers of cells that attached after 120 min increased with the methyl content of the SAM and the contact angle of water and (ii) the percentage of cells that desorbed between successive measurements (ca. 2 min) decreased with increasing substratum hydrophobicity. With all surfaces, 60 to 80% of the cells that desorbed during the 120-min exposure period had residence times of less than 10 min, suggesting that establishment of firm adhesion occurred quickly on all of the test surfaces.
A dynamic detective method against ROP attack on ARM platform (2012)

with the popularity of embedded devices, especially smart phones, a growing attention has been paid to their programs' security. Many viruses on PC platforms migrated to embedded device have brought new threats to the security of the embedded platform. ROP (Return-Oriented Programming) attack is one of them. At the same time, traditional protective measures on PC platform tend to lose effect in embedded devices due to differences among platforms and architectures which bring significant challenges to virus protection on embedded devices. Defending ROP attack confronts the same problem. Existing protective methods against ROP attack on PC rarely work well on an embedded platform. This paper presents a protective algorithm against ROP virus on the embedded ARM platform. Furthermore, we develop a Valgrind tool to implement this algorithm with dynamic binary instrumentation technology which can effectively prevent the ROP attack and its variants on the ARM platform.
