ZeroTouch Provisioning (ZTP) Model and Infrastructure Components for Multi-provider Cloud Services Provisioning (2016)

This paper presents results of the ongoing development of the Cloud Services Delivery Infrastructure (CSDI) that provides a basis for infrastructure centric cloud services provisioning, operation and management in multi-cloud multi-provider environment defined as a Zero Touch Provisioning, Operation and Management (ZTP/ZTPOM) model. The presented work refers to use cases from data intensive research that require high performance computation resources and large storage volumes that are typically distributed between datacenters often involving multiple cloud providers. Automation for large scale scientific (and industrial) applications should include provisioning of both inter-cloud network infrastructure and intra-cloud application resources. It should provide support for the complete application operation workflow together with the possible application infrastructure and resources changes that can occur during the application lifecycle. The authors investigate existing technologies for automation of the service provisioning and management processes aiming to cross-pollinate best practices from currently disconnected domains such as cloud based applications provisioning and multi-domain high-performance network provisioning. The paper refers to the previous and legacy research by authors, the Open Cloud eXchange (OCX), that has been proposed to address the last mile problem in cloud services delivery to campuses over trans-national backbone networks such as GEANT. OCX will serve as an integral component of the prospective ZTP infrastructure over the GEANT network. Another important component, the Marketplace, is defined for providing cloud services and applications discovery (in generally intercloud environment) and may also support additional services such as services composition and trust brokering for establishing customer-provider federations.
Onboard Sensing System for Intersection Safety (2012)

A dedicated onboard sensor that used wireless communications devices was developed for collision avoidance around intersections. Four ZigBee wireless receivers were installed in the four corners of the driver's vehicle. Each receiver was shielded and had slight directivity. These settings enabled the sensor to estimate the positions of transmitters on pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, and vehicles on the basis of a comparison of four signal strengths received from the four receivers. Positions were obtained relative to the driver's vehicle as combinations of four directions: near or far and approaching or leaving. Because the estimation algorithm considered relative values obtained from the four wireless receivers, the detection results should not have been affected by the transmission power. Onboard sensors with vision, lidar, and radar cannot detect objects hidden by road facilities and other vehicles. Although infrastructure sensors for vehicle-to-infrastructure cooperative systems can detect such hidden objects, they are substantially more expensive than onboard sensors. The onboard wireless sensor developed in this work would function as an alternative tool for collision avoidance around intersections.
Thermolytic behavior of polydienyllithium and polystyryllithium (1996)

UV absorption spectra of thermolyzed polybutadienyl- and polyisoprenyl-lithium reveal a chromophore group previously not recognized for such systems; its absorption band at 271 nm has been assigned to a structure with three conjugated double bonds. A two-step mechanism for the formation of this trienic structure is proposed: an intermolecular metallation of associated living ends is followed by lithium hydride (LiH) elimination. Along thermolysis the presence of a dienic structure was also recognized, the latter arising from intramolecular elimination of LiH. The trienyllithium structure is also considered to be an effective species for the observed molecular weight distribution (MWD) variations. The observed different extent of high molecular weight (HMW) for polyisoprenyl- and polybutadienyl-lithium is explained on the basis of a different stability of the intermediates present along the proposed reaction mechanism. The thermolytic behavior of polystyryllithium does not provide any significant change in MWD: the disappearance of the living chain ends, UV detected, is due to an intramolecular LiH elimination which obeys first-order kinetics. The influence of temperature and of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) level on kinetic rate constants was investigated. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Charge Screening and the Dielectric Constant of Proteins:  Insights from Molecular Dynamics (1996)

The dielectric constants of myoglobin, apomyoglobin, the B fragment of staphylococcal protein A, and the immunoglobulin-binding domain of streptococcal protein G are calculated from 1−2 ns molecular dynamics simulations in water, using the Fröhlich−Kirkwood theory of dielectrics. This dielectric constant is a direct measure of the polarizability of the protein medium and is the appropriate macroscopic quantity to measure its relaxation properties in response to a charged perturbation, such as electron transfer, photoexcitation, or ion binding. In each case the dielectric constant is low (2−3) in the protein interior, then rises to 11−21 for the whole molecule. The large overall dielectric constant is almost entirely due to the charged protein side chains, located at the protein surface, which have significant flexibility. If these are viewed instead as part of the outer solvent medium, then the remainder of the protein has a low dielectric constant of 3−6 (depending on the protein), comparable to that of dry protein powders. Similar results were already observed for ferro- and ferricytochrome c, and are probably valid for many or most stable globular proteins in solution, leading to a rather comprehensive picture of charge screening and the dielectric constant of proteins. This picture suggests ways, and supports some ongoing efforts, to improve current Poisson−Boltzmann models. Indeed, treating a protein as a homogeneous, low dielectric medium is likely to underestimate the actual dielectric relaxation of the protein; this would affect calculations of the self-energy of titrating protons, or the reorganization energy of a redox electron.
Optical and other properties of MPACVD diamond (1990)

The exceptional properties of diamond have stimulated a considerable research effort into the low pressure synthesis of diamond thin films for a diverse range of applications including:-. tribological coatings, semiconductor heat sinks and (as in this work) protective optical coatings. Numerous deposition techniques have been reported in the literature including Microwave Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (MPACVD). This paper briefly describes the MPAC\'D deposition system used at Plessey Research Caswell Limited and outlines the effects of important deposition parameters on the growth morphology of diamond crystallites and thin films. Techniques including SEM, ThM and X-ray diffraction have been used to study the growth mechanisms of MPACVD diamond. JR and Raman spectroscopy have been used to characterise the deposited films and an JR reflection technique is described for studying the infrared properties of the layers. The effect of deposition parameters on the properties of diamond thin films is discussed with regard to the use of these films for protecting JR windows and domes.
Protective Effect of Electroacupuncture on “Neigun” Point on Myocardial Postischemic Reperfusion Injury (2004)

Method:50 healthy rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group, ZIR group, IP group. EA at Neigran group, EA at Zusunli group. The ischemia model was made by ligaturing the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery. The changes of creatine kinase(CK) and superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-px) as well as malondialdehyde(MDA) in myocardium were detected. The contents of Adenosino Pretreatment (ATP) in myocareium was examined by high performance liquid chromatograpy (HPLC). Results:In the I/R model group, the contents of SOD and GSH-px as well as ATP on myocardium decreased significantly, the levels of CK and MDA increased after 40 min reperfusion. In the IC and EA at Neiguan groups compared with IP model group, the levels of SOD, GSH-px, ATP increased, CK and MDA decreased (P0.01 or P0.05). Coneclusion:EA at Neiguan point and IC can protect Z/R myocardium evidently by raising the activity of inhabiting cell membrane lipid peroxidation of myocardial suffered from ischemic reperfusion.
Structural insight into the thermostable NADP<sup>+</sup>-dependent<i>meso</i>-diaminopimelate dehydrogenase from<i>Ureibacillus thermosphaericus</i> (2015)

Crystal structures of the thermostable meso-diaminopimelate dehydrogenase (DAPDH) from Ureibacillus thermosphaericus were determined for the enzyme in the apo form and in complex with NADP(+) and N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid. The main-chain coordinates of the enzyme showed notable similarity to those of Symbiobacterium thermophilum DAPDH. However, the subunit arrangement of U. thermosphaericus DAPDH (a dimer) was totally different from that of the S. thermophilum enzyme (a hexamer). Structural comparison with the dimeric enzyme from the mesophile Corynebacterium glutamicum revealed that the presence of large numbers of intrasubunit and intersubunit hydrophobic interactions, as well as the extensive formation of intersubunit ion-pair networks, were likely to be the main factors contributing to the higher thermostability of U. thermosphaericus DAPDH. This differs from S. thermophilum DAPDH, within which the unique hexameric assembly is likely to be responsible for its high thermostability. Analysis of the active site of U. thermosphaericus DAPDH revealed the key factors responsible for the marked difference in substrate specificity between DAPDH and the D-amino acid dehydrogenase recently created from DAPDH by introducing five point mutations [Akita et al. (2012). Biotechnol. Lett. 34, 1693-1699; 1701-1702].
Host plant resistance to aphids in cultivated crops: Genetic and molecular bases, and interactions with aphid populations (2010)

Host plant resistance is an efficient and environmentally friendly means of controlling insects, including aphids, but resistant-breaking biotypes have occurred in several plant-aphid systems. Our review of the genetic and molecular bases of aphid resistance in crop species emphasizes the limited number of aphid resistance genes and alleles. Inheritance of aphid resistance may be monogenic (dominant or recessive genes) or polygenic. Two dominant, aphid resistance genes have been isolated to date. They both encode NBS-LRR proteins involved in the specific recognition of aphids. Strategies to ensure aphid resistance effectiveness and durability are discussed. Innovative research activities are proposed.
URI Design and Ownership (2020)

Section 1.1.1 of RFC 3986 defines URI syntax as federated and
extensible naming system wherein each scheme's specification may
further restrict the syntax and semantics of identifiers using that
scheme. In other words, the structure of a URI is defined by its
scheme. While it is common for schemes to further delegate their
substructure to the URI's owner, publishing independent standards
that mandate particular forms of URI substructure is inappropriate,
because that essentially usurps ownership. This document further
describes this problematic practice and provides some acceptable
alternatives for use in standards.
A 900 MHz RF Transmitter with Output LO Suppression (2007)

SUMMARY This letter presents a 900MHz ZigBee RF transmitterfront-end with on-chip LO suppression circuit at the output. To suppressthe LO leakage at the RF output, a novel LO suppression circuit is adoptedat the up-conversion mixer. The RF transmitter implemented in 0.18 µmCMOS shows more than 28dB of LO suppression over a wide range of thebaseband signal power variation. key words: CMOS transceiver front-end, IEEE 802.15.4, LO leakage sup-pression, low power transmitter 1. Introduction Recently, the direct conversion architecture has gained in-creasing attentions for the low power, low complexity andhigh integration single chip radio. However, the direct con-version architecture raises a number of issues such as LOleakage, I/Q mismatch and so on. In the transmitter, LOleakage could saturate the power ampliﬁer and overlap withthe RF signal as well as being an inter-modulation noisesource for adjacent channels. This letter present a novelLO suppression scheme that has been applied to the up-conversion mixer.
Multi-finger surface visuo-haptic rendering using electrostatic stimulation with force-direction sensing gloves (2014)

This article describes a new prototype of multi-touch surface visuo-haptic system using in-direct electrostatic stimulation. The prototype consists of a 40-inch large LCD monitor and a pair of operation gloves which are equipped with force generation pads, motion detection markers, and force-direction sensors. A user wearing the gloves can experience multi-finger passive haptic feedback from virtual objects on the monitor with four fingers independently. The article also discusses several rendering algorithms for static objects, textured surfaces, and dynamic objects. Utilizing force direction in haptic rendering, the system can solve the sticky wall problem which is commonly found in passive haptic systems. In rendering of dynamic objects, however, an interesting phenomenon named as “object stiction” was newly found, which would be unique to multi-finger passive haptic displays.
Clinical and Angiographic Follow-Up After Primary Stenting in Acute Myocardial Infarction (1999)

A strategy of routine stent implantation during mechanical reperfusion of AMI is safe and is associated with favorable event-free survival and low rates of restenosis compared with primary PTCA alone.
Mediators of inflammation in the early and the late phase of allergic rhinitis (2004)

Allergic rhinitis is characterized by the clinical symptoms of sneezing, itching, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion. Frequently, these are accompanied by eye, ear and throat symptoms or postnasal drip. The symptoms arise as a result of inflammation induced by IgE-mediated immune response to a specific allergen. Inflammatory mediators are released and cells are activated and recruited to the mucosa. In this review, early and late phase responses of the allergic type I reaction are described, including the different cell types and mediators involved. Special attention is paid to new inflammatory processes to provide the reader with recent information.
Antitumoral and endocrine effects of (+)-vorozole in rats bearing dimethylbenzanthracene-induced mammary tumors. (1992)

The antitumoral activity of vorozole, a potent and specific nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor, against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced estrogen-dependent mammary adenocarcinoma was evaluated in 257 Sprague-Dawley rats. Twice daily p.o. administration of 1 and 5 mg/kg of the racemate R 76713 for 42 days induced almost complete regression of tumors, inhibited the appearance of new tumors, and reduced multiplicity of the remaining tumors. Antitumoral effects observed after ovariectomy or treatment with 5 mg/kg twice a day were not significantly different. R 76713, the racemate, (+)-vorozole (both at 2.5 mg/kg twice a day), and ovariectomy all similarly reduced tumor growth at 42 days by 90% or more, lowered the number of existing tumors, and prevented the appearance of new tumors. The less active levo-enantiomer (-)-vorozole at the same dose did not alter tumor growth. Vorozole reduced serum estradiol to the levels measured in ovariectomized animals. Serum progesterone levels were lowered, but to a much lesser extent than after ovariectomy, while serum luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone concentrations increased, but also much less than after ovariectomy. On the other hand, the androgen levels, which remained undetectable or decreased after ovariectomy, markedly rose after vorozole treatment. These endocrine changes, observed in intact female rats, were not detected in ovariectomized animals demonstrating the ovarian origin of the endocrine changes induced by vorozole.
Effects of regular handling on growth in male and female chicks of broiler and layer strains (1981)

1. The effects of regular handling on growth and gain: food ratios in male and female chicks of layer (two strains) and broiler strains were examined from hatching to 3 weeks of age. 2. Growth was significantly enhanced by regular handling in broilers and the females of the layer strains and gain : food ratios were generally greater in the handled birds. 3. There were no significant treatment effects on growth or gain : food ratios in males of the layer strains. 4. Males had higher relative weight gains and gain : food ratios than females.
Highly sensitive focus monitoring on production wafer by Scatterometry Measurements for 90/65nm node devices (2006)

Highly sensitive focus measurement method using scatterometry has been developed. Since the method is nondestructive and applicable to wafers with film stacks, it enables to apply for production wafers. Focus change results in subtle variation of the photo resist (PR) shape. We parameterized this phenomenon by scatterometry with novel model consisting of 8 layers. The focus was obtained by the modeled PR shape with multiple regression method. We've confirmed that this method has given us estimated error within 30 nm for focus variation of 0.1 mum.
Circular dichroism as a detection method in the screening of enantioselective catalysts (2000)

The combination of liquid chromatography (HPLC), UV/Vis-spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) can be used to construct a high-throughput screening system to determine the enantioselectivity of enzyme- or metal-catalyzed reduction of acetophenone with formation of (S)- and (R)-1-phenylethanol. Prerequisite for the viability of this system is the experimental finding that the anisotropy factor g is linearly related to the enantiomeric excess (ee) and that it is independent of concentration, thereby excluding possible aggregation effects.

On-Chip Double Emulsion Droplet Assembly Using Electrowetting-on-Dielectric and Dielectrophoresis (2011)

AbstractThe double emulsion (DE) droplets used for fabrication of cryogenic foam targets for inertial confinement fusion experiments require precisely controlled volumes. On-chip electric field actuated microfluidic assembly of DE droplets can be used to achieve such precision. The electrowetting-on-dielectric and dielectrophoresis effects make it possible to manipulate both conductive and dielectric droplets simultaneously on a substrate. Aqueous and nonaqueous liquid droplets precisely dispensed from two reservoirs on a microfluidic chip are transported and combined to form oil-in-water-in-air or water-in-oil-in-air DE droplets. The dispensing reproducibility is studied as a function of a set of operation parameters. Conditions for spontaneous emulsification for DE formation are developed in terms of droplet surface energies.
Fabrication of domain-inverted gratings in MgO:LiNbO <sub>3</sub> by applying voltage under ultraviolet irradiation through photomask at room temperature (2003)

A new and simple fabrication method of domain-inverted gratings in MgO:LiNbO3 is demonstrated. It was found that ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation reduces the voltage for inversion. Domain-inverted gratings of ∼15 µm period were fabricated by voltage application at room temperature under irradiation of UV light periodically-patterned using a photomask.
Prevalence of Human Herpesvirus 6 Variants A and B in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (1994)

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected from 13 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and 13 healthy controls were analyzed for the presence of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) DNA by variant-specific polymerase chain reaction and dot blot hybridization. HHV-6 DNA was detected in 7 of 13 (53%) patients, and of those 7 patients, 4 were positive for HHV-6 variant A DNA and 3 were for variant B. No HHV-6 DNA was detected in the controls. Serum antibody titers to the late antigen and antibody prevalence to the early antigen of HHV-6 were significantly higher in the patient group. These results suggest active replication of HHV-6 in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
