Development of a Wireless Active System for TPS Structural Health Monitoring (2006)

This paper presents how active SHM principles could be applied for the detection and monitoring of critical TPS damage. Several essential aspects are being studied: (a) development of high temperature piezoelectric wafer active sensor (HT‐PWAS) that can survive the harsh environment to which the TPS are exposed; (b) development of active SHM (pitch‐catch, pulse‐echo, phased‐array, electromechanical impedance) that can be applied to TPS; (c) development of self‐powering low‐power consumption electronics with wireless transceiving capabilities.
Performance Evaluation of the IEEE 802.11p WAVE Communication Standard (2007)

In order to provide Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) for future vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication the IEEE is currently working on the IEEE 802.11p Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments (WAVE) standard. The standard shall provide a multi-channel DSRC solution with high performance for multiple application types to be used in future Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). We provide a performance evaluation of the standard, considering collision probability, throughput and delay, using simulations and analytical means. WAVE can prioritize messages, however, in dense and high load scenarios the the troughput is decreases while the delay is increasing significantly.
Decarboxylative borylation (2017)

The widespread use of alkyl boronic acids and esters is frequently hampered by the challenges associated with their preparation. We describe a simple and practical method to rapidly access densely functionalized alkyl boronate esters from abundant carboxylic substituents. This broad-scope nickel-catalyzed reaction uses the same activating principle as amide bond formation to replace a carboxylic acid moiety with a boronate ester. Application to peptides allowed expedient preparations of α-amino boronic acids, often with high stereoselectivity, thereby facilitating synthesis of the alkyl boronic acid drugs Velcade and Ninlaro as well as a boronic acid version of the iconic antibiotic vancomycin. The reaction also enabled the discovery and extensive biological characterization of potent human neutrophil elastase inhibitors, which offer reversible covalent binding properties.
Parallel pathologies? Vulvar vestibulitis and interstitial cystitis. (1997)

Vulvar epithelium stained with Van Gieson stain did not show defects in VVS but did show complement deposition along the dermoepithelial junction and perivascular IgM. Vascular injury associated with altered central neuronal processing could mediate the positive immunofluorescence findings in both VVS and IC.

Both Host and Pathogen Factors Predispose to Escherichia coli Urinary-Source Bacteremia in Hospitalized Patients (2012)

Bacteremia secondary to E. coli bacteriuria was frequent (15%) in those tested for it. Urinary stasis, surgical disruption of urogenital tissues, and a bacterial capsule characteristic contribute to systemic invasion by uropathogenic E. coli.
A K-Means and Naive Bayes Learning Approach for Better Intrusion Detection (2011)

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have become an important building block of any sound defense network infrastructure. Malicious attacks have brought more adverse impacts on the networks than before, increasing the need for an effective approach to detect and identify such attacks more effectively. In this study two learning approaches, K-Means Clustering and Nave Bayes classifier (KMNB) are used to perform intrusion detection. K-Means is used to identify groups of samples that behave similarly and dissimilarly such as malicious and nonmalicious activity in the first stage while Naive Bayes is used in the second stage to classify all data into correct class category. Experiments were performed with KDD Cup '99 data sets. The experimental results show that KMNB significantly improved and increased the accuracy, detection rate and false alarm of single Nave Bayes classifier up to 99.6, 99.8 and 0.5%.
Predictive Value of Intrathecal Narcotic Trials for Long‐Term Therapy with Implantable Drug Administration Systems in Chronic Non‐Cancer Pain Patients (2002)

Abstract: This study retrospectively investigated the predictive value of intrathecal narcotic trials for long‐term drug utilization via implantable pumps in chronic non‐cancer patients. Data were derived from 86 patients who were categorized according to the intrathecal narcotic dose that resulted in the optimal trial response. The response during the trial period and the pattern of long‐term utilization of morphine was studied, as was the impact of age, gender and diagnosis. The analysis revealed that low dose responders had lower daily dose requirements at 18 months than standard dose and high dose responders. It also showed that women had lower total daily dose requirements at 18 and 24 months and that individuals over 65 years of age had lower total daily dose requirements at 18 months. A trend toward a disproportionately higher use of adjuvant drugs and narcotic substitutions was found among high dose responders, while a trend toward a disproportionately higher total daily dose was found among cervicalgia patients. The findings indicate that the responsiveness to an intrathecal narcotic during a trial, along with the diagnosis at the time of implantation, and the patient's age and gender can shed light on the long‐term utilization of intrathecal analgesics in chronic non‐cancer patients. This information may be used to better select patients and design trials that more closely reflect long‐term drug utilization.

Bone marrow transplantation in canine mucopolysaccharidosis I. Effects within the central nervous system. (1987)

Five dogs with mucopolysaccharidosis I, a model of human Hurler/Scheie syndrome, were transplanted with marrow from phenotypically normal littermates at 5 mo of age. At 3 and 9 mo posttransplantation, biopsies of cerebral cortex, liver, and cerebrospinal fluid were obtained. The alpha-L-iduronidase levels in these tissues were 0.8-7.4, 26-45, and 6.3-14.9% of the paired donor tissues, respectively. Although iduronidase was present in relatively low levels in the recipients' brains and cerebrospinal fluid at both biopsy times, reduction in brain glycosaminoglycan (GAG) was comparable to that observed in liver. Ultrastructural studies of cells within the transplanted dogs' brains showed less lysosomal distension and storage product than in affected, nontransplanted, littermate controls. The most marked clearing of stored GAG was in cells surrounding blood vessels, but decreased lysosomal storage in neurons and glial cells was also observed. Urinary GAG excretion also decreased to near normal levels by 5 mo posttransplantation.
Rapid radar backscatter simulation of detailed targets (1990)

A method of rapidly simulating the radar backscatter signatures of targets moving relative to a fuzzing radar located on an interceptor missile is described. A geometric optics approach is used to estimate the radar return from a detailed target surface described by functions which are almost everywhere curvature continuous. The method exploits the second-order continuity of the target description to reduce the problem of finding all the specular points associated with each new trajectory position to that of tracking the motion of existing points. In addition, the use of B-spline-like surfaces over arbitrary topological meshes is demonstrated as a technique for extending the results to work directly from existing faceted target models.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Down-Regulation of the Glucocorticoid Receptor by Dexamethasone in Cultured Human Skin Fibroblasts: Implications for the Regulation of Aromatase Activity* (1988)

Human genital skin fibroblasts grown in cell culture contain aromatase activity and glucocorticoid receptors, providing a model for studying the relationship between changes in levels of dexamethasone (DEX) receptor binding and changes in the response of aromatase to DEX. Incubation of cells with media containing DEX produced a time-dependent decline in receptor number, with a nadir at 18-24 h. When DEX was removed from the media, only 40-60% of the lost receptor content was recovered. Binding of DEX to its receptor declined in a dose-dependent fashion after 24-h exposure to this glucocorticoid; the concentration of DEX that produced a half-maximal decline (2.2 nmol/L) was in the same range as the Kd for the receptor-DEX complex (14 nmol/L). Incubation of cells with DEX for 20 h also reduced the level of DEX receptor binding in purified nuclei and nuclear matrix by 76% and 89%, respectively. When subcellular fractions were prepared after incubation of cells with DEX for 1-24 h, whole cell, cytosolic and nuclear DEX receptor binding declined in parallel with time. Incubation of skin fibroblasts with DEX resulted in progressive stimulation of aromatase activity, with a peak at 24 h followed by a return to baseline at 72 h. The initial stimulation of aromatase was mediated by DEX receptors. However, the decline in aromatase activity after prolonged DEX exposure did not appear to be due to a decline in the level of DEX receptor binding. The data supporting this last conclusion included the following. When cells were washed free of DEX after 48 h, DEX receptor binding recovered within 24 h, whereas aromatase activity could not be maximally restimulated until 36 h; when cells were incubated with media containing DEX and cycloheximide for 1-48 h, DEX receptor binding declined to a nadir by 24 h, whereas aromatase activity rose continuously up to 48 h. These findings are consistent with the concept that the aromatase gene in skin fibroblasts is subject to both positive and negative regulation.
The interaction of perfluoro-polyether lubricant with hydrogenated carbon (1996)

The incorporation of a limited amount of hydrogen in the amorphous carbon (a-C:H) overcoat improves the CSS durability of thin film media lubricated with perfluoropolyether (PFPE). A mechanism is proposed to explain this phenomenon. With increasing H content in C, the likely bonding sites for the lubricant such as the carboxyl end groups and dangling bonds decrease in the carbon films. Mobility of the lubricant measured by two different techniques was found to increase with increasing H. The improved interface durability is attributed to the enhanced lubricant mobility on hydrogenated carbon.
Reconstruction options following breast conservation therapy. (2008)

Women who have had breast conservation therapy for malignancy are candidates for various surgical techniques for immediate or delayed breast reconstruction. These include local tissue rearrangement, therapeutic reduction mammaplasty, and various flap reconstruction procedures. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages, and individual patient factors, particularly breast size and resection defect size, should drive the choice among procedures. Immediate reconstruction (at the time of breast conservation surgery) is preferred over delayed reconstruction, for multiple reasons. Patients tend to be satisfied with the cosmetic outcome of these procedures, but thorough patient counseling and preop-immediate or erative planning is critical to a good result.
Association Between Patient Beliefs Regarding Assigned Treatment and Clinical Response (2011)

Patient beliefs regarding treatment may have a stronger association with clinical outcome than the actual medication received, and the strength of this association may depend upon the particular combination of treatment guessed and treatment received.
Incentives for Managing Accounting Information: Property‐Liability Insurer Stock‐Charter Conversions (2004)

Abstract Incentives to manage accounting information are examined within 63 property‐liability insurance company conversions from mutual ownership to common stock charter. In the conversion process, policyholders' embedded equity claims must be valued. Since mutuals have no separately traded equity, accounting numbers are a critical input in this valuation. Incentives for surplus management vary across firms; the strongest evidence of surplus management is observed among firms where the mutual's executives become the firm's principal stockholders following conversion. The evidence suggests that converting firms manage accounting information primarily by adjusting liabilities and selectively establishing investment losses—not by altering claims settlement policy.
Temporal and spatial evolution of picosecond phonon-polariton pulses in crystals (1992)

The creation and the detection of short polariton pulses by use of the nonlocal time-resolved coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) technique is analyzed using a classical model. The spatiotemporal evolution of the CARS signal is calculated and the relations between the measured parameters and the material characteristics governing the polariton dynamics are explicitly derived. The results are applied to the investigation of the ordinary polariton in ${\mathrm{LiIO}}_{3}$ on both sides of a forbidden band. The dispersions of the polariton group velocity and dephasing time are directly measured in the time domain and the results are compared to static investigations. The frequency and temperature dependences of the measured polariton dephasing rates are interpreted in terms of anharmonic coupling with phonons on the basis of a theoretical model including both electrical and mechanical anharmonicity.
Absolute Optical Cross Section of Individual Fluorescent Molecules (2004)

[Severe complications of subclavian vein catheterization]. (1975)

The authors report 4 observations of severe involvement induced by sub-clavian catheterization: - 2 catheter-embolisms; - 1 venous thrombosis and one hydrothoraxx. One embolism and the hydrothorax were caused by a faulty puncturing. The thrombosis was the result of a relative stenosis of the vein induced by a loop of the catheter in the Pirogoff confluent. Next, the authors develop the facts given by the literature bearing upon each one of these complications.
Non negative sparse representation for Wiener based source separation with a single sensor (2004)

We propose a new method to perform the separation of two sound sources from a single sensor. This method generalizes Wiener filtering with locally stationary, non-Gaussian, parametric source models. The method involves a learning phase for which we propose three different algorithm. In the separation phase, we use a sparse non negative decomposition algorithm of our own. The algorithms are evaluated on the separation of real audio data.
Optical fiber coatings for biomedical applications (1992)

Silica optical fibers commonly are used for diagnostic, endoscopic, and surgical applications in medical industries. Optical fiber coatings play an important role in fiber strength, reliability, and biocompatibility. Three major coatings are commonly used on optical fibers: (1) polymeric coatings, such as UV-cured acrylate, silicone, and polyimide; (2) metallic coatings such as aluminum, indium, tin, and gold; and (3) inorganic coatings such as oxides, carbides, nitrides, and carbon. In the medical industry, polymeric coatings are used widely. Metallic and inorganic coatings on optical fibers can also be used. I describe the strength, fatigue, and biocompatibility of silica fibers with different coatings.
A 1/3-in 410000-pixel CCD image sensor with feedback field-plate amplifier (1991)

The design considerations and performance of a 1/3-in format 410000-pixel interline transfer charge coupled device (CCD) (IL-CCD) image sensor are described. Some techniques have been introduced in order to shrink the pixel size to 6.4(H)*7.5(V) mu m without any deterioration in dynamic range and, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. The photodiode structure is designed to reduce the knee effect so as to avoid an overflow of the vertical CCD (V-CCD) register up to 500 times the saturating illumination. A depleted-well CCD structure is introduced to maintain the maximum charge-handling capability of 92000 electrons/packet in the V-CCD register, and high enough transfer efficiency of the horizontal CCD (H-CCD) registers with 5-V/sub p-p/ pulse driving. A feedback field-plate amplifier (FFPA) is introduced to raise the sensitivity of the output amplifier to 16.2 mu V/electron in order to obtain a large enough S/N ratio to the background noise of the peripheral circuits in a video camera.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Tuning the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in tetragonally distorted FexCo1−x alloy films on Rh (001) by varying the alloy composition (2007)

Tetragonally distorted FexCo1−x alloy films are grown on Rh (001) showing a strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a wide thickness and composition range. This large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is chemical composition dependent and reaches a maximum at x=0.4. For this composition, we observed an out-of-plane easy axis of magnetization at room temperature with film thickness up to 15 ML. Our experiments show that the proper adjustment of the Fermi level (EF) by the variation of the FexCo1−x alloy composition and the corresponding tetragonal distortion results in a large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.

An optoelectronic integrated-circuit (OEIC) structure, in which a variety of devices having different functions is built from a common multiquantum-well structure, is discussed. Basic operation of both a lateral-current-injection laser and a field-effect transistor is demonstrated using essentially the same AlGaAs/GaAs multiquantum-well structures.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Immediate intraportal transplantation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells prevents death from fulminant hepatic failure in pigs (2012)

Immediate IPT of hBMSCs is a safe and effective treatment for FHF. The transplanted hBMSCs may quickly participate in liver regeneration via proliferation and transdifferentiation into hepatocytes during the initial stage of FHF. This method can possibly be used in future clinical therapy.
Modeling of lightning incidence to tall structures. II. Application (1994)

For pt.I see ibid., vol.9, no.1, p.162-71 (1994). The present paper comprises an extensive computer investigation of lightning incidence to tall masts, based on a theory presented in part I, for both flat and hilly regions. The investigation covers both downward negative lightning incidence and upward flash from tall masts under negative cloud. The factors investigated include: mast height, statistical distribution of the ground electric field, as well as mountain height and topology. Predicted lightning incidence and probability of upward flash are successfully verified against extensive field observations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Proteomic identification of ubiquitinated proteins from human cells expressing His‐tagged ubiquitin (2005)

A proteomics method has been developed to purify and identify the specific proteins modified by ubiquitin (Ub) from human cells. In purified samples, Ub and 21 other proteins were identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) spectra using SEQUEST. These proteins included several of the expected carriers of Ub including Ub-conjugating enzymes and histone proteins. To perform these experiments, a cell line coexpressing epitope tagged His(6X)-Ub and green fluorescent protein (GFP) was generated by stably transfecting HEK293 cells. Ubiquitinated proteins were purified using nickel-affinity chromatography and digested in solution with trypsin. Complex mixtures of peptides were separated by reversed phase chromatography and analyzed by nano LC-MS/MS using the LCQ quadrupole ion-trap mass spectrometer. Proteins identified from His(6X)-Ub-GFP transfected cells were compared to a list of proteins from HEK293 cells, which associate with nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA)-agarose in the absence of His-tagged Ub. In a proof of principle experiment, His(6X)-Ub-GFP transfected cells were treated with As (III) (10 microM, 24 h) in an attempt to identify substrates increasingly modified by Ub. In this experiment, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, a DNA repair protein and known ubiquitin substrate, was confidently identified. This proteomics method, developed for the analysis of ubiquitinated proteins, is a step towards large-scale characterization of Ub-protein conjugates in numerous physiological and pathological states.
