Electricity over IP (2002)

Mostly Pointless Lamp Switching (MPLampS) is an architecture for carrying electricity over IP (with an MPLS control plane).According to our marketing department, MPLampS has the potential to dramatically lower the price, ease the distribution and usage, and improve the manageability of delivering electricity.This document is motivated by such work as SONET/SDH over IP/MPLS (with apologies to the authors).Readers of the previous work have been observed scratching their heads and muttering, "What next?".This document answers that question.This document has also been written as a public service.The "Sub-IP" area has been formed to give equal opportunity to those working on technologies outside of traditional IP networking to write complicated IETF documents.There are possibly many who are wondering how to exploit this opportunity and attain high visibility.Towards this goal, we see the topics of "foo-over-MPLS" (or MPLS control for random technologies) as highly amenable for producing a countless number of unimplementable documents.This document illustrates the key ingredients that go into producing any "fooover-MPLS" document and may be used as a template for all such work.1.
&#x201C;The magneto-electric multipole antenna - a new wideband antenna with pattern and polarization diversity&#x201D; (2010)

A wideband four-port integrated antenna that is capable of exciting four different radiation patterns is presented. The antenna designated as the magneto-electric multipole consists of four dual-polarized magneto-electric dipoles arranged in a 2 by 2 array configuration above a ground plane. A two layer matching network is used to combine the signals from the four dual-polarized dipoles to produce two orthogonal broadside modes and two orthogonal conical modes. The performance of the proposed antenna is studied computationally. It can achieve about 27.2% overlapped bandwidth with the centre frequency of 3.9 Hz. The isolation between any two ports is greater than 15 dB. The two orthogonal broadside modes exhibit about 12 dBi average gain. While for the two orthogonal conical modes, an average gain of 7 dBi can be achieved. The measured radiation patterns of the four degenerate modes are stable within the operating band.
The importance of head movements for binaural room synthesis - a pilot experiment (2000)

The impact of head movements on sound localisation of loudspeakers in a listening room was investigated.Listeners were allowed to move their heads during sound presentations in both real life and during binaural synthesis.The binaural synthesis was implemented by means of measured binaural room impulse responses, for which the direct sound was updated according tO the head position of the listener.Localisation generally improved when head movements were.allowed, compared to when listeners kept their heads still during sound presentations.This result encourages the use of head tracking in binaural synthesis systems.
Active connection management in Internet services (2003)

We propose a new connection management architecture for clustered Internet services called active connection management (ACM) to improve the availability, quality of service, and manageability of Internet services. ACM extends the API of load-balancing switches to include application-level primitives. These primitives enable Internet services to manage load-balancing switches dynamically to control how client connections are mapped to physical resources as they enter the cluster. ACM provides several properties ideal for Internet services over static configuration. First, ACM increases availability through automated configuration, rolling reboots, and reduced server failure detection and recovery time. Second, ACM provides better load conditioning by enabling dynamic allocation of front-end resources and enabling more control over graceful degradation. Third, it provides better manageability by automating configuration, reducing human errors and improving scalability. We present a design, implementation, and evaluation of an ACM system, called COMICS (COnnection Manager for Internet-Centric Services), that enables services to actively control how connections are mapped to servers. We believe that ACM primitives should be implemented into future switches and be utilized by application servers to build more robust Internet service platforms.
A Low-Cost 128 $\times$ 128 Uncooled Infrared Detector Array in CMOS Process (2008)

This paper discusses the implementation of a low-cost 128 times 128 uncooled infrared microbolometer detector array together with its integrated readout circuit (ROC) using a standard 0.35 mum n-well CMOS and post-CMOS MEMS processes. The detector array can be created with simple bulk-micromachining processes after the CMOS fabrication, without the need for any complicated lithography or deposition steps. The array detectors are based on suspended p <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> -active/n-well diode microbolometers with a pixel size of 40 mum times 40 mum and a fill factor of 44%. The p <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> -active/n-well diode detector has a measured dc responsivity (R) of 4970 V/W and a thermal time constant of 36 ms at 50 mtorr vacuum level. The total measured rms noise of the diode type detector is 0.69 muV for an 8 kHz bandwidth, resulting in a detectivity (D*) of 9.7 times 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">8</sup> cm ldr Hz <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1/2</sup> /W. The array is scanned by an integrated 32-channel parallel ROC including low-noise differential preamplifiers with an electrical bandwidth of 8 kHz. The 128 times 128 focal plane array (FPA) has one row of infrared-blind reference detectors that reduces the effect of FPA fixed pattern noise and variations in the operating temperature relaxing the requirements for the temperature stabilization. Including the noise of the reference and array detectors together with the ROC noise, the fabricated 128 times 128 FPA has an expected noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) value of 1 K for f/1 optics at 30 frames/s (fps) scanning rate. This NETD value can be decreased to 350 mK by improving the post-CMOS fabrication steps and increasing the number of readout channels.
Arithmetic Error Codes: Cost and Effectiveness Studies for Application in Digital System Design (1971)

The application of error-detecting or error-correcting codes in digital computer design requires studies of cost and effectiveness trade-offs to supplement the knowledge of their theoretical properties. General criteria for cost and effectiveness studies of error codes are developed, and results are presented for arithmetic error codes with the low-cost check modulus 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">a</sup> -1. Both separate (residue) and nonseparate (AN) codes are considered. The class of multiple arithmetic error codes is developed as an extension of low-cost single codes.

Aggression and anxiety: social context and neurobiological links (2010)

Psychopathologies such as anxiety- and depression-related disorders are often characterized by impaired social behaviours including excessive aggression and violence. Excessive aggression and violence likely develop as a consequence of generally disturbed emotional regulation, such as abnormally high or low levels of anxiety. This suggests an overlap between brain circuitries and neurochemical systems regulating aggression and anxiety. In this review, we will discuss different forms of male aggression, rodent models of excessive aggression, and neurobiological mechanisms underlying male aggression in the context of anxiety. We will summarize our attempts to establish an animal model of high and abnormal aggression using rats selected for high (HAB) vs. low (LAB) anxiety-related behaviour. Briefly, male LAB rats and, to a lesser extent, male HAB rats show high and abnormal forms of aggression compared with non-selected (NAB) rats, making them a suitable animal model for studying excessive aggression in the context of extremes in innate anxiety. In addition, we will discuss differences in the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, brain arginine vasopressin, and the serotonin systems, among others, which contribute to the distinct behavioural phenotypes related to aggression and anxiety. Further investigation of the neurobiological systems in animals with distinct anxiety phenotypes might provide valuable information about the link between excessive aggression and disturbed emotional regulation, which is essential for understanding the social and emotional deficits that are characteristic of many human psychiatric disorders.
Palladium(II)/Cationic 2,2’-Bipyridyl System as a Highly Efficient and Reusable Catalyst for the Mizoroki-Heck Reaction in Water (2010)

A water-soluble and air-stable Pd(NH3)2Cl2/cationic 2,2'-bipyridyl system was found to be a highly-efficient and reusable catalyst for the coupling of aryl iodides and alkenes in neat water using Bu(3)N as a base. The reaction was conducted at 140 degrees C in a sealed tube in air with a catalyst loading as low as 0.0001 mol % for the coupling of activated aryl iodides with butyl and ethyl acrylates, providing the corresponding products in good to excellent yields with very high turnover numbers. In the case of styrene, Mizoroki-Heck coupling products were obtained in good to high yields by using a greater catalyst loading (1 mol %) and TBAB as a phase-transfer agent. After extraction, the residual aqueous solution could be reused several times with only a slight decrease in its activity, making the Mizoroki-Heck reaction "greener".
Divergent Reactivity via Cobalt Catalysis: An Epoxide Olefination (2016)

Cobalt salts exert an unexpected and profound influence on the reactivity of epoxides with dimethylsulfoxonium methylide. In the presence of a cobalt catalyst, conditions for epoxide to an oxetane ring expansion instead deliver homoallylic alcohol products, corresponding to a two-carbon epoxide homologation/ring-opening tandem process. The observed reactivity change appears to be specifically due to cobalt salts and is broadly applicable to a variety of epoxides, retaining the initial stereochemistry. This transformation also provides operationally simple access to enantiopure homoallylic alcohols from chiral epoxides without use of organometallic reagents. Tandem epoxidation-homologation of aldehydes in a single step is also demonstrated.
The primordial follicle reserve is not renewed after chemical or γ-irradiation mediated depletion (2012)

Reports indicate that germ-line stem cells present in adult mice can rapidly generate new oocytes and contribute to the primordial follicle reserve following conditions of ovotoxic stress. We further investigated the hypothesis that adult mice have the capacity to generate new oocytes by monitoring primordial follicle numbers throughout postnatal life and following depletion of the primordial follicle reserve by exposure to doxorubicin (DXR), trichostatin A (TSA), or whole-body γ-irradiation. We show that primordial follicle number remains stable in adult C57BL/6 mice between the ages of 25 and 100 days. However, within 2 days of treatment with DXR or TSA, primordial follicle numbers had declined to 65 and 51% respectively (P<0.05-0.01 when compared to untreated controls), with no restoration of follicle numbers evident after 7 days for either treatment. Furthermore, ovaries from mice subjected to sterilizing doses of γ-irradiation (0.45 or 4.5 Gy) revealed complete ablation of all primordial follicles 5 days after treatment, with no indication of follicular renewal. We conclude that neo-folliculogenesis does not occur following chemical or γ-irradiation mediated depletion of the primordial follicle reserve.
An Improved Synthesis of Pyridoxine via [2+2+2] Cyclization of Acetylenes and Nitriles (2005)

An improved synthesis of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) is reported. The key step involves the light-promoted [2+2+2] cyclization of 3,3-bissilyl-di-2-propynyl ethers and acetonitrile in the presence of [cpCo(cod)] (1 mol%) as a catalyst. Convenient oxidation and iodination procedures are elaborated to transfer 3-silyl­pyridines into corresponding 3-hydroxy- and 3-iodo-derivatives.
Human eosinophils in culture undergo a striking and rapid shrinkage during apoptosis. Role of K+ channels (1995)

In the absence of appropriate stimulus, eosinophils in vitro rapidly exhibit the features of apoptotic cells (nuclear pycnosis, cell shrinkage, DNA fragmentation). By using electronic cell sizing, we precisely measured the volume distribution of human eosinophils during apoptosis. We observed that apoptosis of eosinophils was accompanied by a marked cell volume decrease (approximately 60%). Moreover, analysis of the volume distribution in different experimental conditions (kinetics of apoptosis, inhibition of apoptosis by cytokines) revealed that the cell shrinkage, once triggered, was a fast process in which the intermediate states between normal and shrunken volume had a short half-life. As a model of apoptosis, the eosinophil model allowed us to test the hypothesis that apoptotic cell shrinkage was linked to osmotic changes due to leakage of internal ions. Indeed, in the presence of K+ channel blockers, the shrinkage was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, our results suggest that eosinophil shrinkage during apoptosis is a striking and rapid phenomenon and osmotic changes due to K+ efflux could be responsible, at least in part, of the volume decrease.
Medium-Chain Triglycerides in Combination with Leucine and Vitamin D Benefit Cognition in Frail Elderly Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2017)

The combined supplementation of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), L-leucine-rich amino acids, and cholecalciferol (vitamin D<sub>3</sub>) increase muscle strength and function in frail elderly individuals. However, their effects on cognition are unknown. We enrolled 38 elderly nursing home residents (mean age±SD, 86.6±4.8 y) in a 3-mo randomized, controlled, parallel group trial. The participants were randomly allocated to 3 groups: the first group received a L-leucine (1.2 g)- and cholecalciferol (20 μg)-enriched supplement with 6 g of MCT (LD+MCT); the second group received the same supplement with 6 g of long-chain triglycerides (LD+LCT); and the third group did not receive any supplements (control). Cognition was assessed at baseline and after the 3-mo intervention. The difference in changes among the groups was assessed with ANCOVA, adjusting for age and the baseline value as covariates. After 3 mo, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score in the LD+MCT group increased by 10.6% (from 16.6 to 18.4 points, p<0.05). After 3 mo, the Nishimura geriatric rating scale for mental status (NM scale) score in the LD+MCT group increased by 30.6% (from 24.6 to 32.2 points, p<0.001), whereas that in the LD+LCT and control groups decreased by 11.2% (from 31.2 to 27.7 points, p<0.05) and 26.1% (from 27.2 to 20.1 points, p<0.001), respectively. The combined supplementation of MCTs (6 g), L-leucine-rich amino acids, and cholecalciferol may improve cognitive function in frail elderly individuals.
Bulk processing of HgBaCuO high T/sub c/ superconductors by a two-zone technique (1995)

Hg1201 superconductors have been synthesized from Ba-Cu-O precursors in a two zone assembly. Critical temperatures of 92 K as prepared and 95 K after oxygen annealing resulted. The Hg1201 phase forms at mercury pressures above 6 bar (800/spl deg/C) and at temperatures between 750/spl deg/C and 850/spl deg/C. The effect of dopants on melting and annealing temperatures of the precursor materials has also been studied. After Li doping of up to 20%, melting peaks shift to lower temperatures and broaden significantly.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strains which are r- m+ for all three chromosomally located systems of DNA restriction and modification (1983)

We describe the derivation of two strains of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 which are r- m+ for all three of the known chromosomal genes for the restriction and modification of DNA, hsdLT, hsdSA, and hsdSB; the strains were designated LB5000 and LB5010. LB5000 is a smooth derivative sensitive to phage P22; LB5010 is a galE strain sensitive to phage P1.
Reactions of Aromatic N-Oxides with Enamines of Cyclohexanone in the Presence of Acylating Agents (3).Reactions of Chloro- and Hydroxy-pyridine and -quinoline N-Oxides (1967)

The reactions of 2- and 4-chloro or -hydroxy derivatives of pyridine and quinoline N-oxides with morpholine enamine of cyclohexanone in the presence of an acylating agent were examined. From N-oxides of 4-chloroe derivatives (I, II), 2-(4-chloro-2-pyridyl and -quinolyl) cyclohexanone (III, IV) were obtained in good yields. 2-Chloropyridine 1-oxide gave 2-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl cyclohexanone (X) as the main product accompanied by a few percent of the 6-pyridyl compound (IX)). Similarly 2-chloroquinoline 1-oxide (XII) yielded 2-(2-chloro-4-quinolyl) cyclohexanone (XIII) as a sole product, no dispalcement of 2-chloro atom being detectable. The reaction of 4-quinolinol 1-oxide (XV) led to the formation of 2-(4-hydroxy-3-quinolyl) cyclohexanone (XVI), accompanied by small amounts of by-products.

γH2Ax: Biomarker of Damage or Functional Participant in DNA Repair “All that Glitters Is not Gold!” (2011)

The phosphorylation of H2Ax on its S139 site, γH2Ax, is important for the assembly of repair complexes at DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). The formation and functional role of γH2Ax after other kinds of DNA damage, especially UV light, where DSBs are rare, is less clear. Following UV light in the UVB and UVC ranges, complex distributions of γH2Ax can be identified, quite unlike the discrete enumerable foci seen after ionizing radiation. Several distinct distributions of γH2Ax occur: a low level nuclear-wide distribution of γH2Ax occurs during nucleotide excision repair; irregular focal distributions occur at arrested replication forks; high intensity nuclear-wide γH2Ax occurs in association with S-phase apoptosis. The intensity and distributions of γH2Ax vary according to the activity of excision repair, bypass polymerase and apoptotic caspases. The frequency of DSBs at arrested replication forks is low but highly variable in different cell types, and probably caused by enzymatic action. Despite the prominence of S139 phosphorylation following UV damage, mutation of this site has no influence on the UV damage response indicating that γH2Ax is a biomarker but not a participant in the UV-DNA damage response.
Apoptotic Markers Indicate Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (2009)

These data demonstrate elevation of apoptotic cell death, its correlation with IR, and a high prevalence of NASH in PCOS patients. Given this high prevalence, PCOS may be a risk factor for progressive hepatic sequelae. Incidence data are of strong interest.
Practical compressive sensing with Toeplitz and circulant matrices (2010)

Compressive sensing encodes a signal into a relatively small number of incoherent linear measurements. In theory, the optimal incoherence is achieved by completely random measurement matrices. However, such matrices are often difficult and costly to implement in hardware realizations. Random Toeplitz and circulant matrices can be easily (or even naturally) realized in various applications. This paper introduces fast algorithms for reconstructing signals from incomplete Toeplitz and circulant measurements. Computational results are presented to show that Toeplitz and circulant matrices are not only as effective as random matrices for signal encoding, but also permit much faster decoding.
Lidocaine inhibits stimulation-coupled responses of neutrophils and protein kinase C activity. (1990)

The effects of lidocaine, a local anesthetic, on various stimulation-coupled responses of neutrophils were studied. Superoxide generation, generation of chemiluminescence, depolarization of membrane potential and transitional increase in intracellular Ca2+ were inhibited by lidocaine in a concentration dependent manner. Lidocaine also inhibited Ca(2+)-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (PKC) in the presence of various concentrations of Ca2+, phosphatidylserine and dioleoylglycerol. For the inhibition of all these stimulation-coupled responses, a similar order of the lidocaine concentration was needed. As in the case of dibucaine (Mori, T., Takai, Y., Minakuchi, R., Yu, B. and Nishizuka, Y., J. Biol. Chem. 255:8378-8380, 1980), lidocaine inhibited PKC activity in a manner competitive with phosphatidylserine. Lidocaine also inhibited the phosphorylation of 47 kDa neutrophil cytosplasmic protein, a phosphorylated protein required for NADPH oxidase activation. Thus, the cellular membrane phospholipid may be one of the target sites of lidocaine for the inhibitory action on the various stimulation-coupled responses of neutrophils, and these effects of lidocaine may correlate with its inhibitory action on PKC activity.
