Sulfur Speciation in Aluminum Smelting Anodes (2004)

Carbon anodes used in aluminum smelting typically contain 1−4 wt % sulfur, originating from the petroleum cokes used in anode fabrication. When the anode is consumed, sulfur gases are emitted, in particular COS and SO2, which are detrimental to the environment. In addition, the presence of sulfur affects the reactivity of the anode. To understand the mechanisms of sulfur gas formation and the influence of sulfur on anode reactivity, it is important to know the chemical form sulfur takes in the anode. In this study, XANES (X-ray absorption near-edge structure) spectroscopy was used to determine the sulfur speciation of petroleum cokes from major suppliers and of anodes with differing thermal histories. It was found that organic sulfur containing five- and six-membered ring structures were the dominant sulfur species in the cokes studied, reflecting the origins of the coke, and that these species were stable with anode baking and usage.
Effects of hyper- or hypothyroid status on growth, adiposity and levels of growth hormone, somatomedin C and thyroid metabolism in broiler chickens (1987)

Relatively few methods involving dietary manipulation of thyroid status have been used to study the effect of that status on growth and body composition as well as on changes in hormone levels and metabolism. The present work examines the influence of either a hyperthyroid status (induced by feeding triiodothyronine: T3 or thyroxine: T4) or a hypothyroid status (induced by feeding methimazole: MMI) on growth, feed consumption and body composition as well as on changes in thyroid hormone levels and metabolism and in hormone levels of the somatotroph axis of broiler chickens. MMI depressed growth but increased fatness. Long-term administration of thyroid hormones decreased both growth and fat deposition, T3 being more effective than T4. The reduced growth of MMI-treated birds was not only related to the hypothyroid state but also to decreased somatomedin C (Sm-C) production, although growth hormone (GH) levels remained high. Thyroid hormone-treated birds showed slightly depressed GH levels but unchanged Sm-C levels. MMI induced an increase in hepatic 5'-monodeiodination activity, while T3 and T4 reduced that activity. The T4 administered was largely eliminated as inactive reverse T3. Both of the statuses (hypothyroid and hyperthyroid) profoundly changed peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism and influenced GH/Sm-C relationships, but in the opposite way. Hormonal changes could be related to the observed changes in growth and adiposity of broiler chickens and illustrate the negative correlation between T3 and body fat.

Adjoint-Based Optimization for Rigid Body Motion in Multiphase Navier--Stokes Flow (2015)

We consider the numerical simulation of rigid body motion in multiphase incompressible Navier--Stokes flow. The motion is formulated as an optimization problem and determined by minimizing an objective function in terms of forces and moments acting on the body, constrained by the multiphase Navier--Stokes equations. The corresponding adjoint system and boundary conditions are derived, and derivatives of the objective function are determined. Numerical experiments include the flow around a NACA hydrofoil, a box, and the standard benchmark KRISO Container Ship (KCS). We obtain a considerable speed-up compared to current state-of-the-art methods.
Phosphorylation Controls CLIMP-63–mediated Anchoring of the Endoplasmic Reticulum to Microtubules (2005)

The microtubule-binding 63-kDa cytoskeleton-linking membrane protein (CLIMP-63) is an integral membrane protein that links the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to microtubules. Here, we tested whether this interaction is regulated by phosphorylation. Metabolic labeling with (32)P showed that CLIMP-63 is a phosphoprotein with increased phosphorylation during mitosis. CLIMP-63 of mitotic cells is unable to bind to microtubules in vitro. Mitotic phosphorylation can be prevented by mutation of serines 3, 17, and 19 in the cytoplasmic domain of CLIMP-63. When these residues are mutated to glutamic acid, and hence mimic mitotic phosphorylation, CLIMP-63 does no longer bind to microtubules in vitro. Overexpression of the phospho-mimicking mitotic form of CLIMP-63 in interphase cells leads to a collapse of the ER around the nucleus, leaving the microtubular network intact. The results suggest that CLIMP-63-mediated stable anchoring of the ER to microtubules is required to maintain the spatial distribution of the ER during interphase and that this interaction is abolished by phosphorylation of CLIMP-63 during mitosis.

Viruses and annulate lamellae in Friend erythroleukemia cells. (1989)

Virus formation in a clone of murine undifferentiated Friend erythroleukemia cells was examined by electron microscopy. Budding C-type particles were present at the cell surface. The principal site of intracisternal particle production was in elements of rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum disposed about the periphery of stacks of annulate lamellae. Serial sections demonstrated that these virus-laden cisternae were in direct continuity with the annulate lamellae. In addition, intracisternal particles occurred in membranous honeycomb structures present in the cytoplasm of many cells. Viral elaboration also was associated with stacks of cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum that were devoid of ribosomes, but that were coated with an extensive and continuous layer of dense material. In some instances, the outer nuclear membrane was coated with the same dense substance. It appears that in Friend erythroleukemia cells, a very substantial portion of their cytomembranes is devoted to synthesis of intracisternal particles.
A Ruthenium−Dihydrogen Putative Intermediate in Ketone Hydrogenation (2005)

The compound fac-[Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)(2-PrOH)3]+ (6) (BINAP = 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl) reacts with (R,R)-dpen (dpen = 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) under H2 at -60 degrees C in 2-PrOH-d8/CD2Cl2 to generate the cationic dihydrogen putative intermediate trans-[Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)(eta2-H2)((R,R)-dpen)]+ (2') without H-D exchange between the hydrogen ligands and the solvent. A 1H NMR study concludes that the dihydrogen ligand in 2' does not protonate 2-PrOH to a catalytically significant extent, and that 2' requires an added base or hydride source to be an active catalyst.
Characteristics of egg coagulates cooked conventionally or by microwaves (1994)

Comparisions were made for cooking times, internal temperatures, thiamin contents and textural properties of various portion weights of egg mixture cooked in a microwave oven at high and/or low power levels and in a conventional double boiler. The mean internal temperatures of conventionally cooked egg mixtures were 76.4~80.7. When cooking was made by steaming, the mean internal temperature were comparable among samples. With the microwave cooking, the range of mean temperature was 83.8~96.4, and they were significantly higher than the conventionally cooked egg mixtures. The hardness determination was conducted using universal testing machine and a taste panel. Samples cooked with steam or with larger portion weight had softer texture than samples cooked by microwaves or smaller amount, respectively. Mean internal temperature was significantly(r=0.99, p
Wearable Capacitive-Based Wrist-Worn Gesture Sensing System (2017)

Gesture control plays an increasingly significant role in modern human-machine interactions. This paper presents an innovative method of gesture recognition using flexible capacitive pressure sensor attached on user's wrist towards computer vision and connecting senses on fingers. The method is based on the pressure variations around the wrist when the gesture changes. Flexible and ultrathin capacitive pressure sensors are deployed to capture the pressure variations. The embedding of sensors on a flexible substrate and obtain the relevant capacitance require a reliable approach based on a microcontroller to measure a small change of capacitive sensor. This paper is addressing these challenges, collect and process the measured capacitance values through a developed programming on LabVIEW to reconstruct the gesture on computer. Compared to the conventional approaches, the wrist-worn sensing method offerings a low-cost, lightweight and wearable prototype on the user's body. The experimental result shows that the potentiality and benefits of this approach and confirms that accuracy and number of recognisable gestures can be improved by increasing number of sensor.
Expressive face recognition and synthesis (2003)

Facial expression interpretation, recognition and analysis is a key issue in visual communication and man to machine interaction. In this paper, we present a technique for extracting appearance parameters from a natural image or video sequence, which allow reproduction of natural looking expressive synthetic faces. This technique was used to perform face synthesis and tracking in video sequences as well as facial expression recognition and control.
Assessment of Tear Film Surface Quality Using Dynamic-Area High-Speed Videokeratoscopy (2009)

A new method for noninvasive assessment of tear film surface quality (TFSQ) is proposed. The method is based on high-speed videokeratoscopy in which the corneal area for the analysis is dynamically estimated in a manner that removes videokeratoscopy interference from the shadows of eyelashes but not that related to the poor quality of the precorneal tear film that is of interest. The separation between the two types of seemingly similar videokeratoscopy interference is achieved by region-based classification in which the overall noise is first separated from the useful signal (unaltered videokeratoscopy pattern), followed by a dedicated interference classification algorithm that distinguishes between the two considered interferences. The proposed technique provides a much wider corneal area for the analysis of TFSQ than the previously reported techniques. A preliminary study with the proposed technique, carried out for a range of anterior eye conditions, showed an effective behavior in terms of noise to signal separation, interference classification, as well as consistent TFSQ results. Subsequently, the method proved to be able to not only discriminate between the bare eye and the lens on eye conditions but also to have the potential to discriminate between the two types of contact lenses.
Molecular Characterisation of Plant Endoplasmic Reticulum (1996)

Purified endoplasmic reticulum devoid of contaminating endomembranes has been isolated from both germinating and developing castor bean endosperm by a modified two-step centrifugation procedure. These membranes have been characterised for protein and lipid composition, subfractionated into lumenal and integral membrane protein fractions, and antisera raised to these two components. A cDNA clone encoding a major lumenal protein of 55 kDa was cloned using affinity-purified antisera and shown to encode a protein with strong sequence similarity to the endoplasmic reticulum lumenal chaperone protein disulfide-isomerase. Northern and Southern blot analysis showed that the mRNA from a single-copy gene was constitutively expressed in all tissues investigated, but was preferentially expressed in developing seed where it was the most abundant lumenal protein. Expression of the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli yielded a homodimer with a molecular mass of 110 kDa with protein disulfide-isomerase catalytic activity, thus confirming identity of this protein.
总冠军的拉链 理查德·汉密尔顿 (2006)

在他的成长之路上,有两支球队可供选择。一支拥有迈克尔·乔丹,一支没有。但是没有乔丹,他一样能够取得成功。乔丹到底耽误了汉密尔顿还是成全了他,这的确很值得探讨。2000年,如果不是乔丹的到来,也许时至今日,奇才已经打入了季后赛,而汉密尔顿也成为东部顶尖级后卫之一。因为那时他在奇才已可每场交足20 分公粮,俨然一副当家大哥的样子。但这一切都因为乔丹的一句防守不过关而改变。为何会这样,谁都知道他们二人在奇才队的位
Incremental Redundancy via Check Splitting (2006)

A new method of creating rateless codes for noisy channels is presented. Unlike puncturing, where every punctured variable disables several checks, or extending, which creates many cycles in the code graph or creates parity checks with insufficient weight, the proposed method uses check splitting to lower the rate of the code. Check splitting operates by replacing a row r of maximum weight in the parity check matrix with two new rows s <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> and s <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> , of approximately equal weight and with s <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sub> opluss <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> =r. This causes the check-node degree-distribution to remain fairly concentrated and prevents cycles from forming as the rate decreases. This scheme performs closer to capacity than Raptor codes, it can use a linear-time-encodable code such as a repeat-accumulate code, and it has nearly constant decoding complexity per information bit per iteration, independent of the effective code rate
Structure and Mechanism of the <i>trans</i>-Acting Acyltransferase from the Disorazole Synthase (2011)

The 1.51 Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of the trans-acyltransferase (AT) from the "AT-less" disorazole synthase (DSZS) and that of its acetate complex at 1.35 Å resolution are reported. Separately, comprehensive alanine-scanning mutagenesis of one of its acyl carrier protein substrates (ACP1 from DSZS) led to the identification of a conserved Asp45 residue on the ACP, which contributes to the substrate specificity of this unusual enzyme. Together, these experimental findings were used to derive a model for the selective association of the DSZS AT and its ACP substrate. With a goal of structurally characterizing the AT-ACP interface, a strategy was developed for covalently cross-linking the active site Ser → Cys mutant of the DSZS AT to its ACP substrate and for purifying the resulting AT-ACP complex to homogeneity. The S86C DSZS AT mutant was found to be functional, albeit with a transacylation efficiency 200-fold lower than that of its wild-type counterpart. Our findings provide new insights as well as new opportunities for high-resolution analysis of an important protein-protein interface in polyketide synthases.

Probe-SDN: A smart monitoring framework for SDN-based networks (2016)

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is in the process of revolutionizing the way of managing networks by providing a new way to support current and future services. However, by relocating the control functionality in a remote entity, the measurements' accuracy of the resources' utilization becomes more difficult, which complicates the decision making. Although there are previous works focusing on the problem of network management and measurement in SDN networks, only few proposed solutions have taken into consideration the tradeoff existing between statistics' polling frequency (i.e. generated overhead), and the accuracy of monitoring results (i.e. optimized resources' allocation). In this paper, we propose a new approach calculating accurately the bandwidth utilization while adapting the polling frequency according to ports/switches activity. The emulations' results under Mininet clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution, which outperforms existing works.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the rat albumin gene in Sprague-Dawley rats and its application in genetic study of analbuminemia (1982)

Restriction fragment length polymorphism of the rat albumin gene was discovered in a stock of Sprague-Dawley rats by Southern blots of rat liver DNAs using cloned albumin cDNA, prAlb-1 (1), as a probe. The polymorphic DNA fragments were observed when rat DNAs were digested with either Hind III or Pst 1 and the difference in length of the DNA fragments in Hind III or Pst 1 digests was estimated as 1.4 kbp. When DNAs were digested with EcoR I, restriction fragment length polymorphism was not observed. Therefore, this polymorphic DNA was concluded to be located in the flanking sequence. Structural analysis of the cloned albumin gene showed that the polymorphism was located in the 3'-flanking sequence. With this polymorphism as a marker of the albumin structural gene, the phenotype of analbuminemia, which is an autosomally recessive trait, was found to be linked to the structural gene of albumin.
Presence of basic fibroblast growth factor receptors in bovine brain membranes. (1988)

We described a protocol for purification of bovine brain membranes suitable to study the binding of iodinated basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to bovine brain membrane preparation. The binding of 125I basic FGF to brain membranes reached equilibrium within 30 min at 20 degrees C, was reversible, and displaced by an excess of unlabeled basic FGF. Scatchard analysis of the data revealed that two classes of binding sites could be detected with an apparent Kd of 30 pM and a capacity of 0.24 pmol/mg of membrane proteins for the high affinity binding site and Kd of 3 nM with a capacity of 51 pmol/mg of membrane proteins for the low affinity binding site. Cross-linking experiments of labeled basic FGF to brain membrane receptor yield the formation of a single major complex with an apparent molecular mass of 170 kDa which is similar to the value obtained for the high affinity binding site for basic FGF on target cells in tissue culture. Hence these data present the first biochemical evidence suggesting that membrane purified from bovine brain contain two classes of specific binding sites for basic FGF and confirm results described with cells grown in vitro.
Complete Control of Polarization and Phase of Light with High Efficiency and Sub-wavelength Spatial Resolution (2014)

Meta-surfaces are planar structures that locally change polarization, phase, and amplitude of light, thus enabling flat, lithographically patterned free-space optical components with functionalities controlled by design. Several types of meta-surfaces have been reported, but low efficiency and the inability to provide simultaneous phase and polarization control have limited their applications. Here we demonstrate a platform based on high-contrast dielectric elliptical nano-posts providing complete and efficient control of polarization and phase with sub-wavelength spatial resolution. The unprecedented freedom in manipulating light not only enables realization of conventional free-space transmissive optical elements such as phase-plates, wave-plates and beam-splitters, but also elements with novel functionalities such as general polarization switchable phase holograms and arbitrary vector beam generators which will change the design paradigms for free-space optical systems.

Activities of 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodocytosine and its metabolites against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 in cell culture and in mice infected intracerebrally with herpes simplex virus type 2 (1986)

As measured by plaque and yield reduction assays, several metabolites of 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-iodocytosine (FIAC) were highly active against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2. These metabolites included the 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinosyl derivatives of 5-iodouracil (FIAU), cytosine (FAC), uracil (FAU), and thymine (FMAU). In mice inoculated intracerebrally with herpes simplex virus type 2, the relative order of potency of these compounds and licensed antiviral drugs was as follows: FMAU much greater than FIAC approximately equal to FIAU greater than acyclovir approximately equal to vidarabine much greater than FAC approximately equal to FAU. One of the main metabolites of FMAU, 2'-fluoro-5-hydroxymethyl-arabinosyluracil, was essentially inactive in vivo. FIAC-, FIAU-, FMAU-, FAC-, and FAU-resistant herpes simplex virus variants prepared in cell culture were found to be (i) devoid of viral thymidine kinase, (ii) cross-resistant to one another and resistant to drugs requiring viral thymidine kinase for activation, and (iii) sensitive to vidarabine or phosphonoformate. These results indicate that FIAC, FIAU, and FMAU require the virally encoded thymidine kinase for activation and suggest that the antiviral activity of FAU and FAC in cell cultures is also mediated by this enzyme. The interaction of the fluoroarabinosyl pyrimidine nucleosides with herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase in a cell-free system is also described.
Large-Scale Mercury Control Technology Testing for Lignite-Fired Utilities - Oxidation Systems for Wet FGD (2007)

Mercury (Hg) control technologies were evaluated at Minnkota Power Cooperative's Milton R. Young (MRY) Station Unit 2, a 450-MW lignite-fired cyclone unit near Center, North Dakota, and TXU Energy's Monticello Steam Electric Station (MoSES) Unit 3, a 793-MW lignite--Powder River Basin (PRB) subbituminous coal-fired unit near Mt. Pleasant, Texas. A cold-side electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubber are used at MRY and MoSES for controlling particulate and sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}) emissions, respectively. Several approaches for significantly and cost-effectively oxidizing elemental mercury (Hg{sup 0}) in lignite combustion flue gases, followed by capture in an ESP and/or FGD scrubber were evaluated. The project team involved in performing the technical aspects of the project included Babcock & Wilcox, the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), the Electric Power Research Institute, and URS Corporation. Calcium bromide (CaBr{sub 2}), calcium chloride (CaCl{sub 2}), magnesium chloride (MgCl{sub 2}), and a proprietary sorbent enhancement additive (SEA), hereafter referred to as SEA2, were added to the lignite feeds to enhance Hg capture in the ESP and/or wet FGD. In addition, powdered activated carbon (PAC) was injected upstream of the ESP at MRY Unit 2. The work involved establishing Hg concentrations and removal rates across existing ESP and FGD units, determining costs associated with a given Hg removal efficiency, quantifying the balance-of-plant impacts of the control technologies, and facilitating technology commercialization. The primary project goal was to achieve ESP-FGD Hg removal efficiencies of {ge}55% at MRY and MoSES for about a month.
The Water Content of the Fresh-Water Jellyfish Craspedacusta (1942)

The water content of medusae living in brackish water is greater than that of medusae living in sea-water. Hyman, who investigated the water content of Aurelia, concluded from her data and from data given by previous investigators, that the water content of medusae in sea-water of typical salinity was 94.0-96.5 per cent.; in brackish water of less than half this salinity, the water content might rise to 98 per cent. Logically then, fresh-water medusae should contain an even greater water content and the data in the table below indicate that such is the case.

Kinetic properties of yeast lysine permeases coded by genes on multi-copy vectors (1993)

Amplification of the LYP1 transport system in the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae did not change the substrate specificity, the affinity and the pH optimum of the transport system for lysine, but significantly increased the uptake velocity and accumulation ratio. The dependence of active lysine uptake and accumulation on pH is probably given by the properties of the permease itself rather than by the value of available protonmotive force.
