Effects of CH-19 Sweet, a Non-Pungent Cultivar of Red Pepper, in Decreasing the Body Weight and Suppressing Body Fat Accumulation by Sympathetic Nerve Activation in Humans (2006)

‘CH-19 Sweet’ is a non-pungent red pepper and enhances the energy expenditure in humans in like manner to the pungent red pepper. We investigated in this study the effects of a repeated intake of CH-19 Sweet for two weeks on the body weight and body fat in humans. Changes in the autonomic nervous activity after ingesting CH-19 Sweet were also measured by a power spectral analysis. We established a new protocol which allows the precise detection of weight change in humans by using fewer subjects. These methods were used to show that the repeated intake of CH-19 Sweet reduced the body weight and suppressed body fat accumulation. Furthermore, the body weight loss due to the repeated intake of CH-19 Sweet was significantly correlated with the sympathetic nervous response after its ingestion. We propose that the repeated intake of CH-19 Sweet reduced the body weight and suppressed body fat accumulation by sympathetic nervous activation in humans.

Directed Self-Assembly (DSA) Template Pattern Verification (2014)

Directed Self-Assembly (DSA) is a promising technique for contacts/vias patterning, where groups of contacts/vias are patterned by guiding templates. As the templates are patterned by traditional lithography, their shapes may vary due to the process variations, which will ultimately affect the contacts/vias even for the same type of template. Due to the complexity of the DSA process, rigorous process simulation is unacceptably slow for full chip verification. This paper formulate several critical problems in DSA verification, and proposes a design automation methodology that consists of a data preparation and a model learning stage. We present a novel DSA model with Point Correspondence and Segment Distance features for robust learning. Following the methodology, we propose an effective machine learning (ML) based method for DSA hotspot detection. The results of our initial experiments have already demonstrated the high-efficiency of our ML-based approach with over 85% detection accuracy. Compared to the minutes or even hours of simulation time in rigorous method, the methodology in this paper validates the research potential along this direction.
Topographic Partition of Watersheds with Digital Elevation Models (1986)

Digital elevation models are used to automatically map the stream channel and divide networks of a watershed. These topographic skeletons are used to partition the watershed into a set of fundamental, runoff producing subregions, each of which drains into one stream link. Construction of a code describing the network topology, along with parallel files containing attribute information of each drainage area and associated stream link may form the basis for an efficient watershed information system. Registration of remotely sensed imagery and maps of important soils information to the digital elevation model allows an effective organization of this data as input to hydrologic simulation models. The methodology described here is designed to aid in the efficient parameterization of a distributed components approach to watershed simulation.
Pulsed Lavage in Wound Cleansing (2000)

Wound cleansing is an essential component of wound management used to facilitate the wound healing process.1,2 Several methods are available for use by the physical therapist to achieve wound cleansing.1–4 This update reviews the research examining the effects of pulsed lavage in wound cleansing and comparisons with more traditional methods of wound cleansing.

Normal wound healing is characterized by 3 overlapping phases: inflammatory, proliferative or fibroplastic, and remodeling.5,6 Vascular and cellular responses to trauma occurring during the inflammatory phase remove infectious microorganisms, foreign materials, and necrotic tissue from the wound's surface. During the proliferative phase, tissue granulation and reepithelialization occur.5,6 Collagen fibers are deposited in the dermis of the skin during the remodeling phase to strengthen the healing wound.

If the body's inflammatory response is inadequate to overcome surface microorganisms, a wound is predisposed to infection, delaying wound angiogenesis and granulation.7 In the 1950s, Liedberg et al8 showed that when bacterial concentrations of streptococci, pseudomonas, or staphylococci were greater than 100,000 organisms per gram in tissues, skin grafts on rabbits were destroyed. In 1969, Robson and Heggers9 summarized military and civilian studies examining the critical level of bacterial burden necessary to produce wound sepsis and failure to heal. They concluded that wound healing is possible only when bacterial counts are maintained at a concentration of 100,000 organisms per gram or less.

Impediments to healing are not limited to the presence of microorganisms on the wound's surface. Winter,10 for example, suggested that the presence of eschar or scab in a dry wound delays wound epithelialization and contraction. Likewise, Constantine and Bolton11 surmised that the presence of necrotic tissue or eschar, within the wound or at the wound's margin, impedes wound contraction and closure. Elek …
Improving I/O resource sharing of Linux Cgroup for NVMe SSDs on multi-core systems (2016)

In container-based virtualization where multiple isolated containers share I/O resources on top of a single operating system, efficient and proportional I/O resource sharing is an important system requirement. Motivated by a lack of adequate support for I/O resource sharing in Linux Cgroup for high-performance NVMe SSDs, we developed a new weight-based dynamic throttling technique which can provide proportional I/O sharing for container-based virtualization solutions running on NUMA multi-core systems with NVMe SSDs. By intelligently predicting the future I/O bandwidth requirement of containers based on past I/O service rates of I/O-active containers, and modifying the current Linux Cgroup implementation for better NUMA-scalable performance, our scheme achieves highly accurate I/O resource sharing while reducing wasted I/O bandwidth. Based on a Linux kernel 4.0.4 implementation running on a 4-node NUMA multi-core systems with NVMe SSDs, our experimental results show that the proposed technique can efficiently share the I/O bandwidth of NVMe SSDs among multiple containers according to given I/O weights.
In Search of Ultrastrong Brønsted Neutral Organic Superacids: A DFT Study on Some Cyclopentadiene Derivatives (2004)

An efficient but reasonably accurate B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) computational procedure showed that pentasubstituted cyclopentadienes such as (CN)5C5H, (NO2)5C5H, and (NC)5C5H containing strongly electron-withdrawing groups are neutral organic superacids of unprecedented strength. The boldface denotes the atom attached to the cyclopentadiene framework. All of them exhibit prototropic tautomerism by forming somewhat more stable structures with C=NH, NO2H, and N=CH exocyclic fragments, respectively. The acidity (DeltaH(acid)) of these is lower, but only to a rather small extent. The DeltaH(acid) enthalpies of these last three tautomers are estimated to be 271, 276, and 282 kcal mol(-1), respectively. Hence, the most stable tautomers of (CN)5C5H and (NC)5C5H represent a legitimate target for synthetic chemists. On the other hand, (NO2)5C5H is less suitable for practical applications, because of its high energy density. The origin of the highly pronounced acidity of these compounds was analyzed by using the recently developed triadic formula. It is found that very high Koopmans' ionization energy (IE)n(Koop) of conjugate bases exerts a decisive influence on acidity. It follows as a corollary that the overwhelming effect leading to very high acidity is due to the properties of the final state. An alternative picture is offered by homodesmotic reactions, wherein the cyclic systems are compared with their linear counterparts. It is found that the acidity of cyclopentadiene (CP) is a consequence of aromatic stabilization in the CP- anion. The extreme acidity of pentacyanocyclopentadiene (CN)5C5H is due to aromatization of the five-membered ring and a strong anionic resonance effect in the resultant conjugate base. The neutral organic superacids predicted by the present calculations may help to bridge the gap between existing very strong acids and bases.
Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Template the One-Dimensional Ordering of a Polythiophene Derivative (2006)

We have used a mechanochemical high-speed vibration milling (HSVM) technique to solubilize single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in organic solvents through the formation of complexes between the SWNTs and a polythiophene (PT) derivative. This HSVM approach is superior to the conventional sonication method used to solubilize SWNTs in organic solvents. Moreover, we found that in these supramolecular complexes the PT chains were ordered one-dimensionally on the SWNT surfaces in organic solvents. [structure: see text].

A new diagnostic method of bolt loosening detection for thermal protection systems (2009)

Research and development efforts are underway to provide structural health monitoring systems to ensure the integrity of thermal protection system (TPS). An improved analytical method was proposed to assess the fastener integrity of a bolted structure in this paper. A new unsymmetrical washer was designed and fabricated, taking full advantage of piezoelectric ceramics (PZT) to play both roles as actuators and sensors, and using energy as the only extracted feature to identify abnormality. This diagnostic method is not restricted by the materials of the bracket, panel and base structure of the TPS whose condition is under inspection. A series of experiments on a metallic honeycomb sandwich panel were completed to demonstrate the capability of detecting bolt loosening on the TPS structure. Studies showed that this method can be used not only to identify the location of loosened bolts rapidly, but also to estimate the torque level of loosening bolts. Since that energy is the only extracted feature used to detect bolt loosening in this method, the diagnostic process become very simple and swift without sacrificing the accuracy of the results.
The <i>Streptomyces</i> Genome Contains Multiple Pseudo- <i>attB</i> Sites for the φC31-Encoded Site-Specific Recombination System (2002)

The integrase from the Streptomyces phage (phi)C31 is a member of the serine recombinase family of site-specific recombinases and is fundamentally different from that of lambda or its relatives. Moreover, (phi)C31 int/attP is used widely as an essential component of integration vectors (such as pSET152) employed in the genetic analysis of Streptomyces species. phiC31 or integrating plasmids containing int/attP have been shown previously to integrate at a locus, attB, in the chromosome. The DNA sequences of the attB sites of various Streptomyces species revealed nonconserved positions. In particular, the crossover site was narrowed to the sequence 5'TT present in both attP and attB. Strains of Streptomyces coelicolor and S. lividans were constructed with a deletion of the attB site ((Delta)attB), and pSET152 was introduced into these strains by conjugation. Thus, secondary or pseudo-attB sites were identified by Southern blotting and after rescue of plasmids containing DNA flanking the insertion sites from the chromosome. The sequences of the integration sites had similarity to those of attB. Analysis of the insertions of pSET152 into both attB(+) and (Delta)attB strains indicated that this plasmid can integrate at several loci via independent recombination events within a transconjugant.
Transverse Braid Bars in the Upper Triassic Trujillo Sandstone of the Texas Panhandle (1975)

Exposed within the Upper Triassic Trujillo Sandstone of the Texas Panhandle are excellent examples of transverse braid bar deposits. The bars are 0.3-1.0 m high with a distance of 5-10 m between bar crests. They are composed of fine- to medium-grained sand with planar cross stratification overlain by a thin layer of small-scale trough cross stratification or linguoid ripples. A plot of stratification ratio versus bed relief index indicates a predominance of transverse bars over longitudinal bars for the Trujillo Sandstone. This indicates deposition in the distal portions of a braided stream system.

The genetic basis of infertility (2003)

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular unprotected intercourse; approximately one in six couples wishing to start a family fall into this category. Although, in many cases, the diagnosis is simply 'unexplained', a variety of reasons including lack of ovulation, mechanical stoppage, sperm deficiencies and parental age have been implicated. It is difficult to assess accurately the overall magnitude of the contribution of genetics to infertility as most, if not all, conditions are likely to have a genetic component, for example susceptibility to infection. Nevertheless, a significant number of infertility phenotypes have been associated with specific genetic anomalies. The genetic causes of infertility are varied and include chromosomal abnormalities, single gene disorders and phenotypes with multifactorial inheritance. Some genetic factors influence males specifically, whereas others affect both males and females. For example, chromosome translocations affect both males and females, whereas Klinefelter syndrome and the subsequent infertility phenotype caused by it are specific to males. This article reviews current research in the genetic basis of infertility; gender-specific disorders and those affecting both sexes are considered.
Handoff provisioning in bluetooth wireless personal area networks (2003)

In this paper, we propose an efficient packet buffering in layer 2 to improve the handoff performance in wireless personal area networks (WPAN) using Bluetooth technology. By packet buffering in layer 2, the handoff performance can be significantly improved with minimum system overhead and thus better QoS (quality of service) can be given to the mobile WPAN users. The proposed packet buffering method, i.e., HQL2B (handoff QoS layer 2 buffering) is especially useful to the WPAN users who utilize TCP connections. Recently, some methods have been proposed especially for improving handoff performance in Bluetooth WPAN but unlike other works our method can improve handoff performance without any modification of TCP and Bluetooth specification. Through the simulations we show that the proposed method can greatly improve handoff performance in Bluetooth WPAN environment compared to other works.
Chain Propagation and Termination Mechanisms for Polymerization of Conjugated Polar Alkenes by [Al]-Based Frustrated Lewis Pairs (2014)

A combined experimental and theoretical study on mechanistic aspects of polymerization of conjugated polar alkenes by frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) based on N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and Al(C6F5)3 pairs is reported. This study consists of three key parts: structural characterization of active propagating intermediates, propagation kinetics, and chain-termination pathways. Zwitterionic intermediates that simulate the active propagating species in such polymerization have been generated or isolated from the FLP activation of monomers such as 2-vinylpyridine and 2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline-one of which, IMes+-CH2C(Me)=(C3H2NO)Al(C6F5)3 - (2), has been structurally characterized. Kinetics performed on the polymerization of 2-vinylpyridine by ItBu/Al(C6F5)3 revealed that the polymerization follows a zero-order dependence on monomer concentration and a first-order dependence on initiator (ItBu) and activator [Al(C6F5)3] concentrations, indicating a bimolecular, activated monomer propagation mechanism. The Lewis pair polymerization of conjugate polar alkenes such as methacrylates is accompanied by competing chain-termination side reactions; between the two possible chain-termination pathways, the one that proceeds via intramolecular backbiting cyclization involving nucleophilic attack of the activated ester group of the growing polymer chain by the O-ester enolate active chain end to generate a six-membered lactone (δ-valerolactone)-terminated polymer chain is kinetically favored, but thermodynamically disfavored, over the pathway leading to the -ketoester-terminated chain, as revealed by computational studies.
Directory name retrieval using HMM modeling and robust lexical access (2002)

A system to retrieve names in a directory from the pronunciation and the spelling is presented, for telephone quality speech in French. The recognizer is based on hidden Markov modeling of speech units using word models for letters and phone models for name pronunciation. The directory is built automatically from a list of names using a grapheme to phoneme converter for the names and rules for spellings, each entry in the directory consisting in several pronunciation and spelling variants. From the acoustic recognition, the corresponding entry in the directory is found using dynamic alignment of symbol sequences, with insertion, deletion and substitution costs fixed or determined from the training data to take into account acoustic confusability. Experimental results show that a mixed recognition strategy combining both spelling and pronunciation improves the spelling based strategy. The effectiveness of integrating learnt phonetic confusability information during the lexical search is also demonstrated.
Future of Inertial Fusion Energy (2002)

In the past 50 years, fusion R&D programs have made enormous technical progress. Projected billion-dollar scale research facilities are designed to approach net energy production. In this century, scientific and engineering progress must continue until the economics of fusion power plants improves sufficiently to win large scale private funding in competition with fission and non-nuclear energy systems. This economic advantage must be sustained: trillion dollar investments will be required to build enough fusion power plants to generate ten percent of the world's energy. For Inertial Fusion Energy, multi-billion dollar driver costs must be reduced by up to an order of magnitude, to a small fraction of the total cost of the power plant. Major cost reductions could be achieved via substantial improvements in target performance-both higher gain and reduced ignition energy. Large target performance improvements may be feasible through a combination of design innovations, e.g., ''fast ignition,'' propagation down density gradients, and compression of fusion fuel with a combination of driver and chemical energy. The assumptions that limit projected performance of fusion targets should be carefully examined. The National Ignition Facility will enable development and testing of revolutionary targets designed to make possible economically competitive fusion power plants.
Induction of IgE antibodies to antigen isolated from tobacco leaves and from cigarette smoke condensate. (1979)

Neonatal California White rabbits were sensitized with a glycoprotein purified from cured Virginia Bright tobacco leaves. Their serums, but not serums from normal rabbits, were demonstrated by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis technique to contain heat-labile, homocytophilic antibodies to this antigen and to similar material purified from cigarette smoke condensate. Serums containing IgE antibodies to tobacco antigen would not be demonstrated to contain hemagglutinating antibodies to this antigen. These experiments demonstrate that antigen capable of triggering specific IgE-mediated release of inflammatory mediators is present in cigarette smoke. It can be hypothesized that IgE-mediated responses to antigen in cigarette smoke are causally related to the development of vascular injury and of myocardial arrhythmia in hypersensitive smokers.
Optical Measurement of Current and Voltage on Power Systems (1979)

The basic principles of optical methods for measuring voltage and current at high voltage are presented. These include the magneto-optic effect, the electro-optic effect and the electrogyration effect, plus various detection and noise-reduction techniques. Both free-path and enclosed-path devices which have been constructed on these principles are described. The viability of these devices for the electricity-supply industry is assessed.
Fabrication of SiC Blue LEDs Using Off-Oriented Substrates (1990)

SiC blue LEDs were fabricated by the dipping technique, using 6H-SiC substrates whose (0001̄)C face varied toward the [112̄0] or [101̄0] direction. The surface morphology of the epitaxial layers on the off-oriented substrates was a striped pattern perpendicular to the off-axis direction. By using off-oriented substrates, the degradation of SiC blue LEDs can be greatly reduced. High-efficiency blue LEDs (12 mcd at 20 mA) were fabricated by increasing the amount of Al dopant in the n-type layer.
