Kinetic studies of Sendai virus-target membrane interactions: independent analysis of binding and fusion (1986)

Fusion between Sendai virus and liposomes containing phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and different mole fractions of ganglioside GD1a has been investigated. At different times after mixing the virus and liposomes, the mixture was diluted with a sucrose solution and centrifuged in an airfuge to separate the free and virus-associated liposomes. Since the HN protein of the virus was sensitive to the reducing reagent, inclusion of dithiothreitol in the sucrose solution dissociated the bound but not the fused liposomes. Thus, the kinetics of liposome-virus binding and fusion could be independently measured. The validity of the assay was confirmed by electron microscopic observation of the virus-liposome mixtures. With trypsin-treated Sendai virus, in which the F glycoprotein of the virus had been selectively removed, only virus-liposome binding but not fusion was observed. The kinetic experiments were done under the condition of virus in large excess. Following a very fast initial binding phase, which was completed at the "zero time" of the measurement, the virus-liposome binding followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The subsequent fusion step was zero order. Judging from the discontinuity in the Arrhenius plots, both binding and fusion events were sensitive to the gel-liquid-crystalline phase transition of the target membrane. The binding rate constants had activation energies between 16 and 23 kcal/mol at temperatures above the transition. They were not sensitive to temperature change at temperatures below the transition. On the other hand, the fusion rate constants were not sensitive to temperature change above the transition, except for 6.3% GD1a liposomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Indiana is one of the major watermelon production states in the U.S. Forty standard-size seedless watermelon varieties and 17 personal-size varieties were evaluated in southwest Indiana in 2019. Yield and quality information of the varieties were discussed.
Calculation of the Rademacher-Walsh spectrum from a reduced representation of Boolean functions (1992)

A theory has been developed to calculate the Rademacher-Walsh transform from a reduced representation (disjoint cubes) of incompletely specified Boolean functions. The transform algorithm makes use of the properties of an array of disjoint cubes and allows the determination of the spectral coefficients in an independent way. The program for the algorithms uses advantages of C language to speed up the execution. The comparison of different versions of the algorithm has been carried out. The algorithm successfully overcomes all drawbacks in the calculation of the transform from the design automation system based on spectral methods. >
Transcutaneous Immunization with Cross-Reacting Material CRM <sub>197</sub> of Diphtheria Toxin Boosts Functional Antibody Levels in Mice Primed Parenterally with Adsorbed Diphtheria Toxoid Vaccine (2008)

Transcutaneous immunization (TCI) capitalizes on the accessibility and immunocompetence of the skin, elicits protective immunity, simplifies vaccine delivery, and may be particularly advantageous when frequent boosting is required. In this study we examined the potential of TCI to boost preexisting immune responses to diphtheria in mice. The cross-reacting material (CRM(197)) of diphtheria toxin was used as the boosting antigen and was administered alone or together with either one of two commonly used mucosal adjuvants, cholera toxin (CT) and a partially detoxified mutant of heat-labile enterotoxin of Escherichia coli (LTR72). We report that TCI with CRM(197) significantly boosted preexisting immune responses elicited after parenteral priming with aluminum hydroxide-adsorbed diphtheria toxoid (DTxd) vaccine. In the presence of LTR72 as an adjuvant, toxin-neutralizing antibody titers were significantly higher than those elicited by CRM(197) alone and were comparable to the functional antibody levels induced after parenteral booster immunization with the adsorbed DTxd vaccine. Time course study showed that high levels of toxin-neutralizing antibodies persisted for at least 14 weeks after the transcutaneous boost. In addition, TCI resulted in a vigorous antigen-specific proliferative response in all groups of mice boosted with the CRM(197) protein. These findings highlight the promising prospect of using booster administrations of CRM(197) via the transcutaneous route to establish good herd immunity against diphtheria.
A Novel Adaptive Basal Therapy Based on the Value and Rate of Change of Blood Glucose (2009)

The proposed therapy provides the flexibility to account for insulin sensitivity variations that may result from stress and/or physical activities. Because of its simplicity, the proposed method could be embedded in a chip in a future artificial pancreatic beta cell or used in a "smart" insulin pump.

2-Methyl-9-hydroxyellipticinium acetate (ellipticinium) in the treatment of lymphomas. Preliminary results of a phase II study. (1984)

Eighteen patients with advanced refractory lymphomas were treated with 2-methyl-hydroxyellipticinium (ellipticinium); there were 14 non-Hodgkin's (NHL) and 4 Hodgkin's lymphomas (HL). Ellipticinium was administered at the dose of 100 mg/m2 daily for 3 days i.v. with courses repeated at 3 week intervals. Preliminary results indicate some antitumor activity of the drug against NHL with minimal toxicity. Of the 16 evaluable patients 1 partial remission and 7 minor responses were noted among the NHL (65%). Myelosuppression was minimal and clinical toxicity was mild. Further evaluation of this drug in untreated patients appears to be warranted.
Motion Generation of Humanoid Robot based on Polynomials Generated by Recurrent Neural Network (2004)

Abstract: Humanoid robots are expected to have variety of motions that enables good interaction with real human environment. Making a program for generating several stable motions using the standard programming language such as C is not only time consuming but also hard to understand and tune. For this, a suitable recurrent neural network language (RNN) inspired from neurobiology has been developed. In this paper, a simple method of motion generation based on polynomials generated by RNN is presented. All motions are generated using a basic RNN circuit of a first order polynomial. Using this method it is easy to generate a complex motion of humanoid robot. Furthermore, Feedback controllers can be easily inserted in the RNN circuit of a motion at any desired timing. Both rhythmic and non-rhythmic motion can be generated based on the same strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experimental results.
Development of a large high-performance 2-D array of GaAs-AlGaAs multiple quantum-well modulators (2003)

We present the development of an ultrafast two-dimensional (288 × 132 elements) reflection modulator array based on GaAs-AlGaAs multiple quantum-wells embedded in an asymmetric Fabry-Perot structure. The array has low operation voltage (< 4 V), low insertion loss, and high contrast ratio at /spl sim/846 nm. This array was hybridized to 0.25 μm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor driver providing 256 gray levels resolution at frame rate of 50 kHz (driver limited). Major progress in reducing the severe nonuniformity problem of the cavity resonance wavelength in such devices to less than 3.4 nm variation across a 4-in wafer was achieved.
VIII. Some Geological Notes on Three Districts of Northern Scotland (1928)

1. Tectonics and Thickness. The town of Stornoway is situated on the western edge of an area of chocolate-red conglomerate, much of the surface of which is now beneath the sea. The visible portion measures five miles from E. to W., and ten miles from S.S.W. to N.N.E. Its structure is simple. The base is seen at its eastern margin in the Eye Peninsula, where it rests upon an eroded and uneven surface of Lewisian Gneiss. The dip is very constant in direction all over the southern and greater part of the outlier, being always between W. and N.W., usually W.N.W. North of Coll Sands the dip is N.W. or even N.N.W. In amount (with a few local variations) the dip decreases steadily from the base, near which steep dips of from 30° to 45° prevail upwards to the western margin, where the conglomerate is faulted down against the gneiss of the interior of the island. Near the boundary faults (i.e. in the highest beds remaining) the dip is only from 10° to 15°.

The gneiss hills rise in an irregular escarpment above the lower ground occupied by the conglomerate, which appears as a faulted-down coastal strip. The western margin is formed by a system of four intersecting faults, two of which run nearly N. and S., and the other two W.S.W. and E.N.E. Three of the faults were actually seen and proved, and the structure visible seems to

Structural - Architectural Approach to Bridge Design (2010)

<p>Serving to community, they are often exposed to public judgement, especially city bridges, which are continuously seen by many viewers on the bridge and from the different angles in urban setting. Therefore, it is necessary to design not only reliable, durable and economical bridges, but also aesthetically pleasant structures. To design the bridge as a new city landmark, which meets the requirements of large traffic volumes of vehicles and light urban railway as well as intensive but comfortable pedestrian transport, a new approach to bridge design is required.</p><p>Structural-architectural approach, illustrated by beautiful bridges, which harmoniously fit into the urban environment on decent (Trogir Bridge) or representative (new bridges in Zagreb) way, designed by Bridge Division at Faculty of Civil Engineering - University of Zagreb, will be shown in this paper. Respecting the known aesthetics values, for Bundek Bridge a unique structure is formed, which is already applied in the new airport terminal design, but it can be also transformed for other future landmark buildings, e.g. central metro station, as a modern style of the 21st century Croatian capital.</p>

Content Oriented Surveillance System Based on Information-Centric Network (2016)

Urban surveillance systems are being applied in a rapid pace with mature but inefficient solutions. The inefficiency is revealed with two aspects, too concentrated bandwidth and processing requirement. To solve this problem, we proposed a content oriented surveillance system based on Information- Centric Network. However, we can't simply replace TCP/IP streaming structure with named contents streaming structure because it can't improve the surveillance system's efficiency enough. In this paper, we took the ICN network's profits even further with the named contents. Instead of streaming live video to the central data center and processing multiple data stream in the same time, we have designed the nodes to process the captured raw data and produce objective contents for the central data center. With the extremely size difference in raw data and actual valued contents from it, we could apply the method in investigating area people traffic conditions and even in disaster and anti-terrorism scenarios. There was a field experiment performed to evaluate tourists' densities and dressing habits during winter season of March. The experiment expressed the benefits of our system and compared our method with traditional surveillance systems in saving network bandwidth and functionalities.
Comparison of three methods for the genetic diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (2015)

Objective
To evaluate the value of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), real-time PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in the genetic diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and make laboratory support accessible to clinicians for the molecular diagnosis of SMA.


Methods
Methodological evaluation. Forty-one suspected SMA cases and 359 control individuals received in Shanghai Children′s Medical Centre from March 2013 to June 2014 were detected for the deletion of exon 7 and 8 in the survival motor neuron gene 1 (SMN 1) by PCR-RFLP, real-time PCR and MLPA, respectively. Then the results of the three methods were compared and the benefits and limitations of the three methods were evaluated.


Results
The result of real-time PCR was in complete agreement with that of MLPA, showing that 29 suspected cases harbored homozygous deletions of SMN1 and 1 case possessed heterozygous deletion. Among the homozygous deletions, 27 patients demonstrated absence of exon 7 and 8, and 2 cases demonstrated only the absence of exon 7. Meanwhile, both PCR-RFLP and MLPA analysis showed the same results that only 5 out of 395 control cases carried heterozygous deletion. As for cases without heterozygous deletions, PCR-RFLP demonstrated the same result with real-time PCR and MLPA but it missed all the heterozygous ones.


Conclusions
PCR-RFLP, the conventional SMA gene diagnosis method, was only capable of detecting homozygous deletion of exon 7 and/or 8 of SMN1, but was not as sensitive as to find out the carriers with heterozygous deletions. MLPA could detect the deletion and quantify the copy numbers of exon 7 and 8 of SMN1, efficiently, while the price was relatively high, which brings challenges for its application in the carrier screening of SMA. Compared with these two methods, real-time PCR with high throughput and low input was a rapid, accurate and economic method for the genetic diagnosis of SMA and carrier screening in large populations.

Kidney cell lysates contain an activity that stimulates mature erythroid burst-forming-unit (mBFU-E) proliferation (1990)

This study reports the detection of an activity that stimulates the development of a subclass of burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) progenitors giving rise to small bursts in semi-solid cultures established in the presence of saturating concentrations of erythropoietin. These progenitors are considered to be mature BFU-E. The activity is found in extracts from kidney cells and appears to be physiologically regulated as it was respectively enhanced and decreased in kidneys from anemic and polycythemic mice. The disappearance of activity in kidney-cell extracts during long-term polycythemia correlated with an accumulation of mature BFU-E in the spleen and bone marrow of polycythemic mice. Using specific neutralizing antibodies and in vitro tests, we also show that this activity is different from hemopoietins known to share burst promoting activity (Interleukin-3 [IL- 3], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF], Interleukin-4 [IL-4], erythropoietin [EPO], human interleukin for DA cells [HILDA]) and that it can stimulate erythroid differentiation in long term bone marrow cell cultures.
Holographic diffraction grating for side lighting of liquid-crystal displays (2003)

This paper discusses the properties of a reflective-type holographic diffraction grating intended for the output of radiation from a lightguide wedge to the screen of a liquid-crystal display. The main parameters of the grating (the spatial frequencies of the lines and the distribution of the reflectances of light over its surface) that provide uniform illumination of the display screen in the green part of the spectrum are determined. The nonuniformity of the illumination of the screen in the blue and red parts of the spectrum is estimated. Experimental samples of a holographic diffraction grating and of a replica of it have been fabricated, and a comparison has been made of the light flux directed into the side of a display screen in a classical version of a lighting device and in a version based on a holographic grating.
Quantum cascade laser based sensor for carbonyl sulfide (2003)

Recent research has identified carbonyl sulfide (OCS) in expired human breath as a possible marker for liver disease and acute allograft rejection in lung transplant recipients [1,2]. This is an exciting possibility in that exhaled breath analysis may offer a non-invasive alternative to such procedures as transbronchial biopsies for diagnosing acute rejection [2]. However, there is a need to develop sensors capable of real-time, robust, and routine measurement of OCS at low- to mid- parts-per-billion (ppb) levels. Mid-infrared tunable laser absorption spectroscopy (TLAS) is a candidate technology on account of its molecular selectivity, rapid response times, and strong absorption intensities of OCS near 4.86 µm (>1 × 10−18 cm−1/molecule x cm−2). We report on the use of a near-room temperature pulsed quantum cascade (QC) laser based sensor to perform OCS measurements with ppb sensitivities. Isotopic selectivity was also demonstrated for 16O12C32S and 16O12C34S.
Horizontal well improves oil recovery from polymer flood (1989)

Horizontal drilling associated with an injection scheme appears to be highly promising for obtaining additional oil recovery. Horizontal well CR 163H, in the Chateaurenard field is discussed. It demonstrated that a thin unconsolidated sand can be successfully drilled and cased. The productivity index (PI) of the well was much greater than vertical wells, and an unproduced oil bank was successfully intersected. On the negative side, it was necessary to pump low in a very deviated part of the well, and the drilling cost was high compared to an onshore vertical well. CR 163H was the fifth and probably most difficult horizontal well drilled by Elf Aquitaine. Located within a polymer-flood project, the target was a 7-m thick sand reservoir at a vertical depth of 590:0080 m. In this inverted seven-spot configuration with one injector in the center and six producers at a distance of 400 m, a polymer solution was injected from 1977 to 1983, followed by water injection.
Dose transfer of Bacillus thuringiensis from cabbage to the diamondback moth: A graphical simulator (1994)

Abstract The application of agrichemicals is a highly inefficient process and one of the main causes of the environmental and health risks currently associated with pesticide usage. Efforts to mitigate this inefficiency have largely been unsuccessful, due principally to the poor understanding of the processes involved in the spray application of pesticides, from atomization to biological effect. A generalized model of the application system for pesticides from atomization to biological result is described in this overview. The model allows the investigation of the biological consequences of altering the application parameters for the bacterial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis when used against the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) with cabbage as the substrate. Parameters input into the model include the in‐flight droplet size frequency distribution of the spray cloud, spatial distribution of the deposit, spread and subsequent environmental degradation of the deposit, and behavioral and toxicological effects. It is hoped that such a modelling approach can afford insights into the application process, and, through a better understanding of the inefficient but still highly effective hydraulic application systems used worldwide, reduce that inefficiency to tolerable levels.
