SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF THE D2/D3 REGION OF THE LARGE SUBUNIT RDNA FROM DIFFERENT MELOIDOGYNE ISOLATES (2004)

The phylogenetic relationships of eight Meloidogyne species and twelve isolates from Brazil and other countries were investigated using sequence data of the D2/D3 expansion segments of the large subunit of ribosomal DNA. The phylogenetic procedures used were maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and neighbor-joining, using different mathematical alignment algorithms as implemented in TreeAlign and ClustalX, and different tree construction methods of TreeAlign and PAUP*. The results obtained with ClustalX alignments are robust and supported by high bootstrap values, suggesting a strong phylogenetic signal, as also supported by the obtained values of skewness parameter g1. Although the consensus topology of trees derived from TreeAlign alignments is more poorly resolved, the topologies obtained with different algorithms and software are congruent in dividing the species into two clusters: a heterogeneous grouping of M. chitwoodi, M. exigua (three isolates), M. graminicola and M. trifoliophila; and a much less divergent cluster with M. arenaria (race 2), M. incognita, M. konaensis and M. paranaensis (three isolates). The phylogenetic usefulness of the D2/D3 region clearly depends greatly on the evolutionary rates within the investigated lineages. For the Meloidogyne isolate study presented here, the D2/D3 region seems to be a more appropriate marker for relationships between species groups than between individual species
Continuously tunable Yb:KYW femtosecond oscillator based on a tunable highly dispersive semiconductor mirror (2014)

The optimized nonuniform growth process was used to achieve spatially dependent reflectivity and dispersions characteristics in a highly dispersive semiconductor mirror. The mirror, together with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), was used to demonstrate a tunable femtosecond Yb:KYW oscillator. In the passive modelocking regime the laser could be continuously tuned over 3.5 nm spectral band around 1032 nm with high resolution, maintaining the average output power above 140 mW.
Nutrition and Wound Healing (1993)

As many as 50% of medical-surgical patients in major metropolitan medical centers have some degree of protein-calorie malnutrition, which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Malnutrition affects wound healing in these patients, and nurses must assess and help these patients meet their nutritional needs.

Sensitivity Analysis of Silicon Nanowire Chemical Sensor (2008)

The Si nanowire sensors with different geometries in the chemical detection are described. To analyze the sensor performance, the sensitivity of sensors with different cross sections including circular, rectangular, and trapezoidal are derived by two definitions. It is demonstrated that the sensitivity of Si nanowire sensors with different structures in the chemical detection is a function of geometrical parameters and doping density. It is illustrated that the sensitivity varies inversely with cross-section area, doping density, and also the length of nanowire which has not analytically been shown before as a significant parameter for sensor performance. Finally, it offers a general formula for the Si nanowire chemical sensors sensitivity with different structures.
mSCTP for Vertical Handover between 3G and WiBro (2008)

This paper proposes a mobile SCTP (mSCTP) handover scheme for vertical handover between 3G wireless and WiBro networks. To evaluate the proposed mSCTP vertical handover scheme, we implement the mSCTP handover supporting system over Linux platform in which the movement of a mobile node is automatically detected and the mSCTP vertical handover is performed by the mobile node. We analyze and compare the performance of mSCTP handover and Mobile IP handover over the preconfigured testbed. From the numerical results, we can see that the handover latency of mSCTP could be much more reduced, compared to the Mobile IP handover, if the mobile node would sojourn long enough in the overlapping region between the two heterogeneous networks.
Database for nuclear-waste disposal for temperatures up to 300/sup 0/C (1982)

A computerized database is compiled of evaluated thermodynamic data for aqueous species associated with nuclear waste storage. The data are organized as hydrolysis and formation constants; solubilities of oxides and hydroxides; and, as Nernstian potentials. More emphasis is on stability constants. Coeffficients are given to calculate stability constants at various ionic strengths and to high temperatures. Results are presented as tables for selected species including uranium, amorphous silica and actinides.
Object Boundary Detection in Ultrasound Images (2006)

This paper presents a novel approach to boundary detection of regions-of-interest (ROI) in ultrasound images, more specifically applied to ultrasound breast images. In the proposed method, histogram equalization is used to preprocess the ultrasound images followed by a hybrid filtering stage that consists of a combination of a nonlinear diffusion filter and a linear filter. Subsequently the multifractal dimension is used to analyse the visually distinct areas of the ultrasound image. Finally, using different threshold values, region growing segmentation is used to the partition the image. The partition with the highest Radial Gradient Index (RGI) is selected as the lesion. A total of 200 images have been used in the analysis of the presented results. We compare the performance of our algorithm with two well known methods proposed by Kupinski et al. and Joo et al. We show that the proposed method performs better in solving the boundary detection problem in ultrasound images.
Lisdexamfetamine for Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (2009)

Lisdexamfetamine provides another amphetamine-based CNS stimulant option for treatment of children and adults with ADHD. However, its use may be limited by a lack of significant differentiation when compared with currently used stimulants and a lack of evidence to support its use in adolescents.
Photopatterning the mechanical properties of polydimethylsiloxane films (2011)

Silicone rubber films with graded and localized mechanical properties are prepared using two-part polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer, photoinhibitor compounds and conventional photolithography. First the un-cross-linked PDMS is mixed with benzophenone. The resulting positive photosensitive material is then exposed through a mask to UV light from a conventional mask aligner. Cross-linking of the UV exposed elastomer is inhibited, leading to softer regions than the surrounding unexposed matrix. By empirically fitting the nonlinear, hyperelastic Mooney–Rivlin model to experimentally measured stress–strain curves we determine the equivalent tensile modulus (E) of the rubber film. We show the PDMS tensile modulus can then be adjusted in the 0.65–2.9 MPa range by decreasing the UV exposure dose (from 24 000 to 0 mJ cm−2). Further, using a patterned UV mask, we can locally define differential regions of tensile modulus within a single PDMS rubber film. We demonstrate that “hard islands” (E ≈ 2.9 MPa) of 100 μm minimum diameter can be patterned within a 100-μm-thick, single “soft” PDMS rubber membrane (E ≈ 0.65 MPa) cured at 150 °C for 24 h. Thin gold film conductors patterned directly onto the photopatterned PDMS are stretchable and withstand uniaxial cycling to tens of percent strain. The mechanically “pixellated” PDMS rubber film provides an improved substrate with built-in strain relief for stretchable electronics.
Electromagnetic control of flexible transmission shaft vibrations (1979)

Rotor-bearing systems operating at high speeds present severe problems when passing through their critical speeds. This paper describes a method for controlling the vibrations using electromagnets to provide a velocity-dependent controlled external forcing to increase the overall damping within the rotor-bearing system.
Induction of ovarian tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes by acid-eluted peptide-pulsed autologous dendritic cells (2000)

Peptide-pulsed dendritic cells induced specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes that killed autologous tumor cells from women with advanced ovarian cancer. This finding might contribute to the development of active or adoptive immunotherapy for residual or resistant ovarian cancer after standard surgery and cytotoxic treatment.
Abscopal Effects of Radiotherapy Are Enhanced by Combined Immunostimulatory mAbs and Are Dependent on CD8 T Cells and Crosspriming (2016)

Preclinical and clinical evidence indicate that the proimmune effects of radiotherapy can be synergistically augmented with immunostimulatory mAbs to act both on irradiated tumor lesions and on distant, nonirradiated tumor sites. The combination of radiotherapy with immunostimulatory anti-PD1 and anti-CD137 mAbs was conducive to favorable effects on distant nonirradiated tumor lesions as observed in transplanted MC38 (colorectal cancer), B16OVA (melanoma), and 4T1 (breast cancer) models. The therapeutic activity was crucially performed by CD8 T cells, as found in selective depletion experiments. Moreover, the integrities of BATF-3-dependent dendritic cells specialized in crosspresentation/crosspriming of antigens to CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells and of the type I IFN system were absolute requirements for the antitumor effects to occur. The irradiation regimen induced immune infiltrate changes in the irradiated and nonirradiated lesions featured by reductions in the total content of effector T cells, Tregs, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, while effector T cells expressed more intracellular IFNγ in both the irradiated and contralateral tumors. Importantly, 48 hours after irradiation, CD8<sup>+</sup> TILs showed brighter expression of CD137 and PD1, thereby displaying more target molecules for the corresponding mAbs. Likewise, PD1 and CD137 were induced on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from surgically excised human carcinomas that were irradiated ex vivo These mechanisms involving crosspriming and CD8 T cells advocate clinical development of immunotherapy combinations with anti-PD1 plus anti-CD137 mAbs that can be synergistically accompanied by radiotherapy strategies, even if the disease is left outside the field of irradiation.

Induction of mRNAs for Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase and Pyruvate, Orthophosphate Dikinase in Leaves of a C3 Plant Exposed to Light1 (1989)

We compared the genes for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and pyruvate, ortho-phosphate dikinase (PPDK) from a C3 plant, rice, with those from a C4 plant, maize, using the maize cDNA for each enzyme. The cDNA inserts hybridized to several fragments of rice DNA digested with restriction enzymes, even under extremely stringent conditions, demonstrating the presence of multiple genes in rice with structures quite similar to those of the genes for PEPC and PPDK in maize. Northern blot analysis, using the cDNA inserts, revealed the presence of transcripts with sizes similar to those of the mRNAs for PEPC and PPDK from maize in the population of poly(A)+ RNA from greening rice leaves, but not in that from etiolated leaves. The levels of the transcripts in fully green leaves were much lower than those in greening leaves, a result that corresponds to the changes in levels of proteins observed previously. The correspondence suggests that the expression of the transcripts was responsible for the synthesis of PEPC and PPDK proteins in greening rice leaves. These findings also indicate that the genes for PEPC and PPDK in rice not only have structures similar to those of the genes in maize, but are also regulated by light in a similar manner.
Computing projections of digital images in image processing pipeline architectures (1987)

This paper deals with the problem of computing projections of digital images. The novelty of our contribution is that we present algorithms which are suitable for implementation in general purpose image processing and image analysis pipeline architectures. No random access of the image memory is necessary. We propose some new pipeline configurations which achieve a remarkable degree of parallelism in the computation of projection data and, in fact, of many other geometrical descriptors of digital images. Fast computation of projections of digital images is not only important for extracting geometrical information from images, it also makes possible performing a large number of operations on images in Radon space, thereby reducing two-dimensional problems to a series of one-dimensional problems.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Current Understanding (2001)

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or motor neuron disease (MND) as it is usually termed in the United Kingdom, is a fatal degenerative disease resulting in progressive weakness and wasting of voluntary muscles. The disease is caused by degeneration of upper motor neurons in the motor cortex and of lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. This combined loss of function causes spastic paralysis, flaccid muscle weakness, wasting, and fasciculations. The disease process spares the sensory, autonomic, and oculomotor neurons. ALS is the most common of the MND syndromes in adults. Although the cause of ALS is unknown, there is evidence that the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate plays an important role in neuronal cell death in the disease. Several risk factors, such as exposure to welding and soldering, inhalation of lead vapor, exposure to chemicals, and electrical trauma are postulated as contributing to the pathogenesis of ALS. About 90% of all ALS patients have the sporadic form. Approximately 20% of all familial ALS cases are associated with mutations of the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase-1 gene. What is not clear is what factors contribute to the causation of the more common sporadic cases. The drug riluzole has neuroprotective effects in ALS and is the only disease-specific treatment available to date. Riluzole has been approved by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence for use in the National Health Service of the United Kingdom. Other treatments are aimed at managing the devastating symptoms of ALS.

Crystal Structures of Oligodeoxyribonucleotides Containing 6‘-α-Methyl and 6‘-α-Hydroxy Carbocyclic Thymidines (1997)

The X-ray crystal structures of two self-complementary DNA duplexes with the sequence d(CGCGAAtMe/OHtMe/OHCGCG) containing four 6‘-α-methyl (tMe) or four 6‘-α-hydroxy carbocyclic thymidines (tOH), respectively, have been determined. Both structures are isomorphous to the native Dickerson−Drew dodecamer duplex [d(CGCGAATTCGCG)]2. The cyclopentane moieties of the modified carbocyclic thymidine residues lacking the deoxyribose 4‘-oxygen adopt either C2‘-endo or C1‘-exo B-DNA type puckers. The dodecamer duplex incorporating 6‘-α-methyl carbocyclic thymidines shows an enlarged minor groove relative to both the unmodified duplex and the one with incorporated 6‘-α-hydroxy carbocyclic thymidines. The pairing of oligonucleotides containing single or multiple 6‘-α-substituted carbocyclic thymidines with complementary DNA is discussed on the basis of the structural data.
Patterns of gastritis in patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (1999)

Patients with symptomatic GORD had a high prevalence of carditis. This was of two types, H pylori associated and unassociated. Except on Giemsa staining, the two were morphologically identical, suggesting mediation by a similar immunological mechanism.
Phytochemical composition, antiparasitic and α–glucosidase inhibition activities from Pelliciera rhizophorae (2015)

Three groups of compounds were isolated in this study (triterpenes, flavonols and dithiolanes). Triterpenes and flavones showed activity in at least one bioassay (antiparasitic or α-glucosidase). In addition, only the pentacyclic triterpenes exhibited a competitive type of inhibition against α-glucosidase.

Efficient spectral editing at 7 T: GABA detection with MEGA‐sLASER (2011)

At high field (7 T) spectral editing of γ-aminobutyric acid with MEGA-point-resolved spectroscopy is inefficient due to the large chemical shift displacement error. In this article, a new pulse sequence is designed which has minimal chemical shift displacement error to perform an efficient spectral editing of the γ-aminobutyric acid 3.0 ppm resonance at 7 T. The sequence consists of the conventional MEGA editing pulses and a semi-localized by adiabatic selective refocusing sequence. Phantom and in vivo measurements demonstrated an efficient detection of γ-aminobutyric acid. Using ECG triggering, excellent in vivo performance of the MEGA-semi-localized by adiabatic selective refocusing (MEGA-sLASER) provided well-resolved γ-aminobutyric acid signals in 27 mL volumes in the human brain at an echo time of 74 ms within a relatively short acquisition time (5 min). Furthermore, the high efficiency of the MEGA-sLASER was demonstrated by acquiring small volumes (8 mL) at an echo time of 74 ms, as well as long echo time measurements (222 ms in 27 mL volume).

Improved multilook techniques applied to SAR and SCANSAR imagery (1991)

The multilook processing used in SAR (synthetic aperture radar) image formation to reduce the speckle noise is considered. Two multilook techniques are proposed for improving the radiometric resolution without altering the geometric resolution and the characteristics of the impulse response. These techniques are based on the formation of looks with different bandwidths. The final image is formed by giving each look a proper size and weighting, and by adding them incoherently. The looks with wide bandwidth contribute to an improvement of the overall geometric resolution, while the looks with narrow bandwidth improve the overall radiometric resolution. The equivalent number of looks is more than 2.3 times the number of independent looks and is superior to conventional multilook processing with overlapping. Finally, using the proposed techniques, an algorithm for efficient SAR and ScanSAR processing is presented, and its validity is proved by image comparison and analysis.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
