New interpolation method for quadrature encoder signals (2002)

This paper presents a new interpolation method suitable for increasing the measurement resolution obtainable from quadrature encoder signals. Based on the existing sinusoidal signals, high-order sinusoids can be derived, from which binary pulses can be generated, which can be decoded using only standard servo controllers for position information. A look-up table, constructed off-line, serves as the inferencing engine for the proposed method. Imperfections in the encoder signals can be directly compensated for in the look-up table, including mean and phase offsets, amplitude difference, and waveform distortion. Simulation and experimental results are provided in this paper.
<i>Phyllanthus niruri</i> Inhibits Calcium Oxalate Endocytosis by Renal Tubular Cells: Its Role in Urolithiasis (1999)

We investigated the in vitro effect of an aqueous extract of Phyllanthus niruri L. on a model of CaOx crystal endocytosis by Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. The extract exhibited a potent and effective non-concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the CaOx crystal internalization. This response was present even at very high (pathologic) CaOx concentrations and no P. niruri L.-induced toxic effect could be detected. Biochemical analysis of culture media containing P. niruri L. did not provide any clues for the elucidation of the cellular pathways affected by this natural product. Although further studies are necessary for a better understanding of the role of P. niruri L. in urolithiasis, our findings show that this natural product could be an attractive alternative for the treatment of urinary stones.
Differential RET Signaling Pathways Drive Development of the Enteric Lymphoid and Nervous Systems (2012)

During the early development of the gastrointestinal tract, signaling through the receptor tyrosine kinase RET is required for initiation of lymphoid organ (Peyer's patch) formation and for intestinal innervation by enteric neurons. RET signaling occurs through glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family receptor α co-receptors present in the same cell (signaling in cis). It is unclear whether RET signaling in trans, which occurs in vitro through co-receptors from other cells, has a biological role. We showed that the initial aggregation of hematopoietic cells to form lymphoid clusters occurred in a RET-dependent, chemokine-independent manner through adhesion-mediated arrest of lymphoid tissue initiator (LTin) cells. Lymphoid tissue inducer cells were not necessary for this initiation phase. LTin cells responded to all RET ligands in trans, requiring factors from other cells, whereas RET was activated in enteric neurons exclusively by GDNF in cis. Furthermore, genetic and molecular approaches revealed that the versatile RET responses in LTin cells were determined by distinct patterns of expression of the genes encoding RET and its co-receptors. Our study shows that a trans RET response in LTin cells determines the initial phase of enteric lymphoid organ morphogenesis, and suggests that differential co-expression of Ret and Gfra can control the specificity of RET signaling.
Array formation in nano-colloids: Theory and experiment in 2D (1999)

We discuss theoretical and experimental aspects of the array formation of nano-colloids in two-dimensional (2D) situations. In particular, we treat metal nanocrystals which have been passivated by surfactant monolayers and then deposited on the free surface of water. Their self-organization properties follow from the fact that the relevant interparticle attractions do not greatly exceed thermal energies, thereby allowing for equilibrium structures to form and to evolve reversibly as a function of temperature and concentration. In the case of large enough metal cores, spatially-modulated phases arise because of long-range repulsions between particles; for smaller cores, the interactions are highly directional, giving rise to linear chain structures at low concentrations and to extended networks at higher densities.
A Catalytic, Asymmetric Formal Synthesis of (+)-Hamigeran B (2011)

A concise asymmetric, formal synthesis of (+)-hamigeran B is reported. A Pd-catalyzed, decarboxylative allylic alkylation, employing a trifluoromethylated derivative of t-BuPHOX, is utilized as the enantioselective step to form the critical quaternary carbon center in excellent yield and enantioselectivity. The product is converted in three steps to a late-stage intermediate previously used in the synthesis of hamigeran B.
Ionic Liquid Monomers and Polymers as Precursors of Highly Conductive, Mesoporous, Graphitic Carbon Nanostructures (2010)

In this contribution a template-free preparation of mesoporous graphitic carbon nanostructures with high electric conductivity is presented, using ionic liquid monomers or poly(ionic liquid) polymers as carbon precursors. The carbonization was performed in the presence of FeCl2 at temperatures between 900 and 1000 °C. It was found that FeCl2 plays a key role in controlling both the chemical structure and the texture morphology of the graphitization process. A detailed investigation on the carbonization process demonstrated that 900 °C is a threshold temperature where a synergistic formation process enables the development of the superior physical properties, such as large surface area and low resistance. The as-synthesized carbon products are graphitic, mesoporous, and highly conductive, as proven by XRD and TEM characterizations and conductivity measurements. Via an acid etching process, iron and iron carbide nanoparticles, the remainder of the primary catalyst, can be removed, leaving pure mesoporous carbon nanomaterials with a comparably well developed graphitic structure. Without demand for any template, this method is facile and easy to scale up and might contribute to the wide range of applications of carbon nanostructures.
Calibration and characterization of piezoelectric elements as used in scanning tunneling microscopy (1991)

We investigated the behavior of piezoelectric elements used in an STM for fine positioning of the tip. Special attention was paid to the influence of hysteresis. We found that the expansion coefficient of the elements depends on the magnitude of the displacements they produce. If the range is limited to several nanometers, the sensitivity can be taken constant and hysteresis can be neglected. However,if displacements of about a micron are involved, the sensitivity is about 40% higher and the hysteresis will significantly disturb the image. We also compared different calibration methods. An inductive displacement transducer yields results which correspond to those obtained with the known height of steps on a flat gold surface. A Michelson interferometer yields results which are valid for large displacements which cannot be used if small-scale structures are imaged.

SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF NON-PLANAR LITHOGRAPHY FOR MICRO-MACHINING APPLICATIONS. (1996)

Silicon micro-machined Optical Sub-Assemblies (OSA) are becoming increasingly popular in packaging of photonic devices. Good thermal conductivity of silicon, for heat sinking, ability to etch precisely controlled grooves, for fiber alignment, availability of good quality wafers, developed processing technology, and batch processing are some of the advantages that are inherent to this approach, which we call Silicon Optical Bench (SiOB) technology. It is often desirable to be able to define photolithographically patterns in close proximity to deep grooves or at the bottom of such grooves. Typical features required are: wire bonding pads, device soldering pads, alignment marks, turning mirrors, thin film heaters, coplanar microstrips, etc.
Tieffarbige Fluorenchinone (1960)

Abstract Tetrahydroxytriphenylmethane compounds (aurine dyes and their reduction products) deriving from pyrocatechol are converted easily into deeply coloured substances which can be reduced to colourless leuco‐compounds, the reduction and re‐oxidation being thermodynamically reversible and furnishing a platinum electrode with a well defined potential. It is shown that these new dyes have the structure of dihydroxyfluorene quinones and diaminofluorene quinones; they are the first fluorene quinones ever described in literature. Several of these substituted fluorene quinones have been obtained in a pure, crystalline state and are characterized by analysis, UV. absorption spectra, IR.‐spectra, acid‐base indicator behaviour, their oxidation‐reduction potential and their ability to form metal complexes.
The weight-bearing abduction brace for the treatment of Legg-Perthes disease. (1992)

We reviewed the cases of thirty-one patients (thirty-four hips) who had had severe Legg-Perthes disease (Catterall group III, five hips and group IV, twenty-nine hips) and had been treated with a weight-bearing abduction orthosis, to determine the effectiveness of the brace. The mean age of the patients when they were first seen was six years (range, three to twelve years). The mean duration of follow-up was seven years (range, two to thirteen years). At the most recent follow-up, all hips were rated with the method of Mose and the classification of Stulberg et al. According to the criteria of Mose, no hip had a good result, twelve (35 per cent) had a fair result, and twenty-two (65 per cent) had a poor result. On the basis of the classification of Stulberg et al., there were fourteen (41 per cent) class-II results, eighteen (53 per cent) class-III and IV results, and two (6 per cent) class-V results. Although containment is the most widely accepted principle of treatment for patients who have Legg-Perthes disease, and the Atlanta Scottish Rite-type orthosis is the most commonly used orthosis for this condition, there are few clinical data supporting the effectiveness of this device. On the basis of our results, we do not recommend the use of a weight-bearing abduction brace for the treatment of severely involved hips.
A high-speed low-cost DCT architecture for HDTV applications (1991)

An eight-point DCT (discrete cosine transform) architecture is presented. The modified Booth encoding is employed to process two bits per cycle. Therefore, the internal clock frequency is the same as the sampling rate. Carry-save adders are applied to the accumulation of partial results. The computing speed is thus highly increased. The architecture is completely hardwired in order to remove unnecessary ROMs. The resulting scheme will be able to satisfy the stringent HDTV (high-definition television) requirements with only a modest quantity of hardware.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
On-Demand and Location Selective Particle Assembly via Electrophoretic Deposition for Fabricating Structures with Particle-to-Particle Precision (2014)

Programmable positioning of 2 μm polystyrene (PS) beads with single particle precision and location selective, "on-demand", particle deposition was demonstrated by utilizing patterned electrodes and electrophoretic deposition (EPD). An electrode with differently sized hole patterns, from 0.5 to 5 μm, was used to illustrate the discriminatory particle deposition events based on the voltage and particle-to-hole size ratio. With decreasing patterned hole size, a larger electric field was required for a particle deposition event to occur in that hole. For the 5 μm hole, particle deposition began to occur at 10 V/cm where as an electric field of 15 V/cm was required for particles to begin depositing in the 2 μm holes. The likelihood of particle depositions continued to increase for smaller sized holes as the electric field increased. Eventually, a monolayer of particles began to form at approximately 20 V/cm. In essence, a voltage threshold was found for each hole pattern of different sizes, allowing fine adjustments in pattern hole size and voltage to control when a particle deposition event took place, even with the patterns on the same electrode. This phenomenon opens a route toward controlled, multimaterial deposition and assembly onto substrates without repatterning of the electrode or complicated surface modification of the particles. An analytical approach using the theories for electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis found the former to be the dominating force for depositing a particle into a patterned hole. Ebeam lithography was used to pattern spherical holes in precise configurations onto electrode surfaces, where each hole accompanied a polystyrene (PS) particle placement and attachment during EPD. The versatility of e-beam lithography was utilized to create arbitrary pattern configurations to fabricate particle assemblies of limitless configurations, enabling fabrication of unique materials assemblies and interfaces.
Neodymium complexes in GaP separated by photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy (1986)

Implantation of neodymium (Nd) in GaP gives rise to a very complex spectrum of intra 4f-shell luminescence transitions involving a number of Nd defect associates. Using a tunable color center laser, photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy was employed to separate different Nd3+ complexes in GaP:Nd. Two dominant noncubic Nd centers are clearly identified which arise presumably from the association of Nd with radiation damage centers.

Geometrical description of the onset of multi-pulsing in mode-locked laser cavities (2010)

A simple iterative model is introduced quantifying the interaction of saturable gain and nonlinear loss in a mode-locked laser cavity. The resulting geometrical description of the laser dynamics completely characterizes the generic multi-pulsing instability observed in experiments. The model further shows that the onset of multi-pulsing can be preceded by periodic and chaotic transitions as recently confirmed in theory and experiment. The results suggest ways to engineer the nonlinear losses in the cavity in order to achieve an enhanced performance.
BENBI: Scalable and Dynamic Access Control on the Northbound Interface of SDN-Based VANET (2018)

Recently, emerging SDN-based VANET (i.e., vehicular ad hoc network based on software-defined networking) enables VANET management to be programmable and flexible. It introduces SDN controllers to maintain network-wide resources and SDN applications to program configurations through arbitrarily accessing resources via the northbound interface (NBI). However, this brings with it security issues on the NBI, such as network-wide resource exposure and configuration manipulation. Most of the existing works employed permission systems to restrict resource access; these solutions are generally controller-dependent, which means controller codes need to be modified for giving access permissions to external applications. In this paper, we propose a scalable and dynamic access control scheme on the NBI for SDN-based VANET, named BENBI. In the proposed scheme, we dynamically and flexibly control network resources by employing broadcast encryption, rather than altering source codes of the controller or updating permission lists with various degrees of granularity. Moreover, the resources are encrypted during transmission so that they are only available to authorized applications. Finally, we implement a prototype of BENBI. The experimental results demonstrate that the cost of allocating secret keys is independent of the number of SDN entities being appointed, which indicates the scalability of our scheme.
三重県におけるいも料理"いももち"の調理特性について : いもの産地と行事食 (2003)

Higher gene expression levels of GATA3, IL4, IL5, and IL17 were observed in the AERD group compared with the non-AERD group. These findings point to distinct patterns of inflammation in patients with AERD, with a predominance of Th2 inflammation.
Correlation for the partition behavior of proteins in aqueous two‐phase systems: Effect of surface hydrophobicity and charge (2005)

Correlations to describe the effect of surface hydrophobicity and charge of proteins with their partition coefficient in aqueous two-phase systems were investigated. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000/phosphate, sulfate, citrate, and dextran systems in the presence of low (0.6% w/w) and high (8.8% w/w) levels of NaCl were selected for a systematic study of 12 proteins. The surface hydrophobicity of the proteins was measured by ammonium sulfate precipitation as the inverse of their solubility. The hydrophobicity values measured correlated well with the partition coefficients, K, obtained in the PEG/salt systems at high concentration of NaCl (r = 0.92-0.93). In PEG/citrate systems the partition coefficient correlated well with protein hydrophobicity at low and high concentrations of NaCl (r = 0.81 and 0.93, respectively). The PEG/citrate system also had a higher hydrophobic resolution than other systems to exploit differences in the protein's hydrophobicity. The surface charge and charge density of the proteins was determined over a range of pH (3-9) by electrophoretic titration curves; PEG/salt systems did not discriminate well between proteins of different charge or charge density. In the absence of NaCl, K decreased slightly with increased positive charge. At high NaCl concentration, K increased as a function of positive charge. This suggested that the PEG-rich top phase became more negative as the concentration of NaCl in the systems increased and, therefore, attracted the positively charged proteins. The effect of charge was more important in PEG/dextran systems at low concentrations of NaCl. In the PEG/dextran systems at lower concentration of NaCl, molecular weight appeared to be the prime determinant of partition, whereas no clear effect of molecular weight could be found in PEG/salt systems.
Biosynthesis of bacterial glycogen: purification and structural properties of Rhodospirillum tenue adenosine diphosphate glucose synthetase (1981)

Adenosine diphosphate glucose synthetase from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum tenue has been purified greater than 95%. The molecular weight of the enzyme is approximately 215,000, with a subunit molecular weight of about 51,000. The enzyme appears to be composed of four similar if not identical subunits. Although the amino acid composition of the enzyme is similar to that of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium, no apparent homology has been observed between their N-terminal amino acid sequences. Antisera prepared against the R. tenue enzyme can partially inhibit the activities of adenosine diphosphate glucose synthetases from other photosynthetic bacteria.
Cryptosporidiosis in Goats: a Review (2014)

Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrhoeal disease caused by members of the genus Cryptosporidium, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa. It causes diarrhoea in neonatal animals by infecting the intestines in an acute short-term manner. Cryptosporidium parvum is regarded as an important etiological agent of diarrhoea in neonatal ruminants, causing substantial economic losses both directly and indirectly. It spreads through the feco-oral route, frequently through contaminated water. The infected animals excrete oocysts in their faeces, which is resistant against inclement weather conditions. Upon ingestion the oocysts presumably excyst in the small intestine and invade the intestinal epithelium. Cryptosporidium does not require a vector or intermediate host and is capable of completing its life cycle within a single host, and it is also capable of autoinfection. Typically, neonatal animals below 3 months of age display clinical signs for a period varying from 5-15 days. The predominant symptom of cryptosporidiosis is mild-to-severe diarrhoea, but other clinical symptoms may include depression, dehydration, anorexia, listlessness, unthriftiness and abdominal pain. Cryptosporidiosis is an important zoonotic disease. Infected domestic and feral animals are considered as to be important sources in contaminating the environment and there have been many well-documented outbreaks of human cryptosporidiosis around the world. The diagnosis for Cryptosporidium infection is usually carried out through examination of faecal smears for the presence of oocysts by Modified Ziehl Neelsen (mZN) technique. Oral or intravenous fluid therapy to prevent dehydration is the most important treatment to alleviate the clinical signs of disease in both humans and animals due to absence of a single effective drug. At present Cryptosporidium is regarded as one of the major enteric pathogen in goat kids and morbidity could be high in outbreaks of cryptosporidiosis in kids. Under these circumstances, the control measures against the disease mainly rely on the knowledge on epidemiology of the disease. But, in India there are only a few published reports of goat cryptosporidiosis therefore more studies are required in the area of caprine cryptosporidiosis.
