TapRouter: an emulating framework to run real applications on simulated mobile ad hoc network (2011)

Developing usable and specific applications for users is critical for the success of Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). However applications on MANET are difficult to design because of the high dynamics of underlying network. Thus the prior evaluation and simulation are needed. Typical approaches to evaluate applications on MANET are network simulation and testbed deployment. Network simulation uses virtual networks and usually needs to re-write the applications to match the simulator's particular APIs or framework, which brings out with additional works and low credibility. On the other hand, applications on testbed will obtain reliable results but with high cost on deployment. Network emulation is an attractive tradeoff for these two extremes to evaluate applications. In this paper, we propose TapRouter, an application-emulating framework for MANETs with high performance and usability by integrating the sophisticated ns-3 simulator and lightweight virtualization technology. Moreover, in order to improve efficiency, we design MAC binding mode and IP binding mode according to whether the application includes routing function. Our experimental evaluation shows that time overhead of TapRouter is trivial while memory occupation are scalable to the number of assigned nodes.
Smooth muscle differentiation in scleroderma fibroblastic cells. (1990)

Using antibodies to alpha-smooth muscle actin and desmin on paraffin-embedded formalin-fixed tissue sections, the authors demonstrate that fibroblastic cells of localized and systemic scleroderma lesions express features of smooth muscle differentiation. Eleven of eleven skin specimens of systemic sclerosis patients and two of four skin specimens of localized scleroderma displayed the presence of fibroblasts expressing alpha-smooth muscle actin, a cell population that predominated in areas of prominent collagen deposition. A similar fibroblastic phenotype was found in the esophagus, the liver, and the lung specimens obtained from four patients who died of progressive systemic sclerosis. Immunostaining for desmin, performed on adjacent tissue sections, demonstrated that a minority of these fibroblastic cells present in skin and visceral lesions contained this protein. The authors' observations indicate that scleroderma fibroblasts are phenotypically related to the stromal cells previously identified in hypertrophic scars, fibromatoses, and desmoplasia; they might provide novel criteria for the characterization of scleroderma lesions and help to identify the factors responsible for phenotypic modulations in fibroblastic cells.
Non-intentional mobility of data sessions across mobile networks while roaming because of operators' mobile DNS architecture (2016)

The Domain Name System (DNS) is used almost everywhere in mobile networks to determine the IP addresses of the network elements and thanks to the DNS architecture of the inter-operator IP backbone network, a network element of a public mobile network (PMN) can easily determine IP addresses of any other PMN. The analysis of some customers' complaints showed that it could be the cause of billing mistakes. Consequently we decided to go further into the reasons behind. The aim of the paper is to alert operators to the risk of data session mobility across mobile networks when inter-operator DNS procedures allow the new PMN to exchange with the old PMN and retrieve the context of the data session. It explains the associated risk of charging/billing problems for the roamers because of non-intentional inter-PMN mobility in case the home charging/billing architecture is not ready to deal with a PMN change during a data session. Finally, it introduces a few solutions to forbid/control inter-PMN mobility of mobile data sessions.

イオン性橋かけ結合に必要な酸基を共重合によってアイソタクチックポリプロピレンに導入することは現在の重合法では不可能であるので, 高分子反応による無水マレイン酸の導入を試みたところ以下のごとき結果を得た。1) アイソタクチックポリプロピレンへの無水マレイン酸の導入反応は, 過酸化物, たとえばベンゾイルパーオキサイドの存在下にアイソタクチックポリプロピレンと無水マレイン酸とを溶融素ねりさせることによって容易に行なわれる。また, 過酸化物の代りに過酸化ポリプロピレンを用いても同様に無水マレイン酸の反応が可能である。2) イオン橋かけ反応は無水マレイン酸反応ポリマーと酢酸亜鉛あるいは酢酸ナトリウムのごとき金属塩とを溶融素ねりさせることによって容易に行なわれる。3) 高温における素ねり反応であるために反応ポリマーの重合度は著しく低下する。
Multi-Person 3D Tracking with Particle Filters on Voxels (2007)

This paper presents a new approach to the problem of simultaneous tracking of several people in low resolution sequences from multiple calibrated cameras. Spatial redundancy is exploited to generate a discrete 3D binary representation of the scene. A particle filtering scheme adapted to the incoming 3D discrete data is proposed. A volume likelihood function and a discrete 3D re-sampling procedure are introduced to evaluate and drive particles. Multiple targets are tracked by means of multiple particle filters and interaction among them is modeled through a 3D blocking scheme. Test over annotated databases yield quantitative results showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in the indoor scenarios.
MIF, a previously unrecognized pituitary hormone and macrophage cytokine, is a pivotal mediator in endotoxic shock. (1994)

Recent studies have led to the re-discovery of the protein originally described as macrophage-migration inhibitory factor (MIF) to be both a pituitary hormone and a pro-inflammatory, macrophage cytokine. MIF is a pivotal mediator in endotoxic shock and may serve as a pituitary "stress" hormone that regulates systemic inflammatory responses.
REACTIONS OF ORGANOTIN COMPOUNDS: III. ADDITIONS OF DIMETHYLTIN DIHYDRIDE TO SIMPLE OLEFINS (1964)

The addition reactions of dimethyltin dihydride with ethylene, butadiene, and cis- and trans-butene are described. With ethylene and butadiene, the products (CH 3 ) 2 SnH(R) and (CH 3 ) 2 SnR 2 are fully characterized, where R = C 2 H 5 , or —CH 2 CH=CHCH 3 , the latter being the first butenyltin compounds to be reported. The butenes were virtually unreactive towards the dihydride. From a consideration of these and previous results, the possible reaction mechanism is discussed, and the tentative conclusion is reached that the rate-determining factor involves the formation of radicals from the tin dihydride.
Somatosensory evoked potential monitoring in anterior thoracic vertebrectomy (2000)

It is important to recognize high false-negative rates and low sensitivity of SSEP monitoring when it is used to record spinal cord function during anterior approaches for thoracic vertebrectomies. The insensitivity of SSEPs for motor deterioration during anterior thoracic vertebrectomies is likely due to the limitation of SSEPs, which monitor only posterior column function whereas motor paths are conveyed in the anterior and anterolateral spinal cord. The authors believe that SSEPs can not be relied on to detect reversible spinal damage during anterior thoracic vertebrectomies.

Non-scanning Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy using Laser Speckle Illumination (2005)

Confocal scanning microscopy (CSM) is a much used and advantageous form of microscopy. Although CSM is superior to conventional microscopy in many respects, a major disadvantage is the complexity of the scanning process and the sometimes long time to perform the scan. In this thesis a novel non-scanning fluorescence confocal microscopy is investigated. The method uses a random time-varying speckle pattern to illuminate the specimen, recording a large number of independent full-field frames without the need for a scanning system. The recorded frames are then processed in a suitable way to give a confocal image. The goal of this research project is to confirm the effectiveness and practicality of speckle-illumination microscopy and to develop this proposal into a functioning microscope system. The issues to be addressed include modelling of the system performance, setting up experiments, computer control and image processing. This work makes the following contributions to knowledge:\n* The development of criteria for system performance evaluation\n* The development of methods for speckle processing, whereby the number of frames required for an image of acceptable quality can be reduced\n* The implementation of non-scanning fluorescence confocal microscopy based upon separate recording of the speckle patterns and the fluorescence frames, demonstrating the practicality and effectiveness of this method\n* The realisation of real-time image processing by optically addressed spatial light modulator, showing how this new form of optical arrangement may be used in practice\nThe thesis is organised into three main segments. Chapters 1-2 review related work and introduce the concepts of fluorescence confocal microscopy. Chapters 3-5 discuss system modelling and present results of performance evaluation. Chapters 6-8 present experimental results based upon the separate recording scheme and the spatial light modulation scheme, draw conclusions and offer some speculative suggestions for future research.
Synthesis and biological activities of higher homologues of retinoic acid. (1997)

Homoretinoic and bishomoretinoic acid have been synthesized. Fast reaction under ultrasonic activation (Wolff rearrangement, saponification) produced compounds in high yields. Only the bishomo analogue exhibits a significative activity alone and a synergistic effect with vitamin D3 on the differentiation of U937 leukemic cell line.
Interleukin-l<i>β</i>-Induced Nitric Oxide Production in Isolated Rat Pancreatic Islets Requires Gene Transcription and May Lead to Inhibition of the Krebs Cycle Enzyme Aconitase* (1991)

The aim of this study was to characterize the dynamics and functional relevance of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta)-induced nitric oxide production in isolated pancreatic islets. Thus, islets were isolated from adult rats, precultured for 3-5 days in medium RPMI-1640 plus 10% fetal calf serum, and then exposed to IL-1 beta for different time periods, after which islet nitrite production and aconitase activity were determined. IL-1 beta (5 ng/ml) did not increase islet nitrite production during the first hour of incubation. Moreover, the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (Meth-arg; 5 mM) failed to prevent the initial (90 min) IL-1 beta-induced increase in islet insulin release. After 4, 7, and 24 h, however, nitrite production was increased by 50%, 93%, and 139%, respectively. Islet aconitase activity and glucose oxidation rates were decreased by 70% after incubation for 24 h with IL-1 beta. Both Meth-arg and N alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (0.1 mM), a protease inhibitor, could completely counteract the IL-1 beta-induced increases in nitrite production and inhibition of aconitase activity and glucose oxidation rates. In a separate series of experiments, islets were incubated for 60 min with or without IL-1 beta and the RNA synthesis inhibitor actinomycin-D (5 micrograms/ml) and subsequently incubated for another 9 h without any additions. The presence of actinomycin-D during the 1-h IL-1 beta incubation period prevented the IL-1 beta-induced rise in nitrite production and the IL-1 beta-induced inhibition of aconitase activity and insulin release. It is concluded that IL-1 beta-induced nitric oxide production is a late event which requires gene transcription and does not mediate the initial stimulatory effects of IL-1 beta on beta-cell function. However, the gradually augmented rate of nitric oxide production may inhibit the enzyme aconitase, leading to a suppressed mitochondrial activity and a defective insulin release in response to nutrient secretagogues.
Identification of a common variant in the lipoprotein lipase gene in a large Utah kindred ascertained for coronary heart disease: the −93G/D9N variant predisposes to low HDL‐C/high triglycerides (2001)

Defects in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene are associated with dyslipidemia in the general population. Several rare mutations in the gene, as well as two common coding region polymorphisms, D9N and N291S, exhibit deleterious effects on circulating lipid levels. Using a linkage-based approach, we have identified a large Utah kindred segregating the D9N variant in the LPL gene. The kindred was ascertained for premature coronary heart disease and was expanded based on familial dyslipidemia. A genomic scan identified a region of linkage including LPL, and mutation screening identified the segregating variant. In the kindred, the variant shows high penetrance for a hypoalphalipoproteinemia phenotype, but is also associated with hypertriglyceridemia and elevated insulin levels. The strength of linkage was dependent on the combination of phenotype definition and model parameters, favoring the use of a MOD score approach. Most other studies of LPL have proceeded by mutation screening of randomly chosen individuals or selected affected probands; this is the first example identifying a segregating LPL mutation using direct linkage.

Dispersion stability and tribological properties of additives introduced by ultrasonic and microwave assisted ball milling in oil (2020)

Graphene and MoS<sub>2</sub> were modified by organic molecules to obtain modified reduced graphene oxide (MRGO) and modified molybdenum disulfide (MMD) powders. MRGO and MMD were uniformly dispersed in base oil (PAO6) by ultrasonic and microwave assisted ball milling (UMBM). This study tested the dispersion stability and tribological properties of additives in the oil, and analyzed the elements of the friction surface. Besides, the mechanism of anti-friction and anti-wear was discussed. The results show that the UMBM method is an effective way to introduce additives in lubricating oil. Compared with direct addition, it can effectively improve the dispersion stability of additives in the oil, so that additives can be better deposited and adsorbed on the friction surface in the friction process, and improve the tribological properties of lubricating oil.
LiDAR Sensor Modeling for ADAS Applications under a Virtual Driving Environment (2016)

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">LiDAR sensors have played more and more important role on Intelligent and Connected Vehicles (ICV) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) .However, the development and testing of LiDAR sensors under real driving environment for ADAS applications are greatly limited by various factors, and often are impossible due to safety concerns. This paper proposed a novel functional LiDAR model under virtual driving environment to support development of LiDAR-based ADAS applications under early stage. Unlike traditional approaches on LiDAR sensor modeling, the proposed method includes both geometrical modeling approach and physical modeling approach. While geometric model mainly produces ideal scanning results based on computer graphics, the physical model further brings physical influences on top of the geometric model. The range detection is derived and optimized based on its physical detection and measurement mechanism. The model has been incorporated into PanoSim and proved to be valid and effective. A simulation of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature is performed under PanoSim to verify the proposed model.</div></div>
Toward mucoadhesive hydrogel formulations for the management of xerostomia: The physicochemical, Biological, and Pharmacological Considerations (2013)

Although hydrogel formulations that may be applied to many mucosal surfaces are now readily accessible, little research effort has been concentrated on the development of systems that may be usefully employed for the prolonged hydration of the oral cavity. To this end, and set within the context of oral care in general, this review considers the requirements for the design of hydrogel formulations with an affinity for buccal cells and details methods for evaluating the performance of these formulations as treatments for the management of xerostomia.
Benzothiazole derivatives as substrates for alkaline phosphatase assay with fluorescence and chemiluminescence detection (1995)

Unique fluorogenic and chemiluminescence substrates for alkaline phosphatase (ALP), 2-(N-phenylphthalimidyl)benzothiazolyl-5-phosphate and 2-(2′,3′-dihydro-1′,4′-dionephthalazyl)benzothiazolyl-5-phosphate, respectively, that contain a highly fluorescent benzothiazole moiety as the fluorophore were synthesized and their applicabilities to the assay of ALP were examined. The chemiluminogenic substrate exhibited a linear chemiluminescence response to the amount of ALP in the range 0–20 pmol.
Hydroxyproline as a Marker for Following Patients with Metastatic Prostate Cancer (1988)

Serial measurements of urinary hydroxyproline excretion were performed in 16 patients with stage D2 prostatic cancer to evaluate its role as a marker for following disease course. Patients were defined as having stable or progressive disease by the criteria of the National Prostatic Cancer Project. For patients with stable disease and those with disease progression excretion of hydroxyproline did not correlate with the clinical course. We did not find that hydroxyproline was a useful marker in the clinical setting to follow patients with prostatic cancer.
Pedestrian crossing detecting as a part of an urban pedestrian safety system (2010)

Although recent statistics demonstrate a decrease in pedestrian fatalities, the absolute number of accident related deaths is sufficiently high to justify research in the area of vulnerable road user protection. Research has shown that situation awareness, which requires a significant amount of context information, is critical to timely intervention. Altered pedestrian behavior, due to traffic regulation, requires context information. For example, crosswalk presence and location knowledge can be of importance in pedestrian crossing scenarios. Therefore this paper discusses the implementation of a crosswalk detection algorithm, using Fourier transformation, augmented bipolarity, inverse perspective mapping template matching and edge orientation ratios for classification.
<i>In Vivo</i> Imaging of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> Glycans (2009)

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model organism for studies of glycan dynamics, a goal that requires tools for imaging glycans in vivo. Here we applied the bioorthogonal chemical reporter technique for the molecular imaging of mucin-type O-glycans in live C. elegans. We treated worms with azidosugar variants of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), and N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc), resulting in the metabolic labeling of their cell-surface glycans with azides. Subsequently, the worms were reacted via copper-free click reaction with fluorophore-conjugated difluorinated cyclooctyne (DIFO) reagents. We identified prominent localization of mucins in the pharynx of all four larval stages, in the adult hermaphrodite pharynx, vulva and anus, and in the tail of the adult male. Using a multicolor, time-resolved imaging strategy, we found that the distribution and dynamics of the glycans varied anatomically and with respect to developmental stage.
Quadruple immunosuppression: comparison of OKT3 and Minnesota antilymphocyte globulin. (1989)

From May 1977 to June 1988, 110 patients receiving cadaveric kidney transplants were selected to receive Orthoclone (OKT3; Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, Raritan, NJ; 5 mg intravenous bolus) (n = 43) or Minnesota antilymphocyte globulin (MAG; 20 mg/kg/day) (n = 67) as the induction phase of a quadruple immunosuppressive protocol. The duration of treatment ranged from 5 to 16 days for OKT3 (mean, 8 days) and 7 to 14 days for MAG (mean, 9 days) as dictated by the postoperative recovery of renal function. All patients were followed-up for at least 3 months (maximum, 18 months; mean, 10 months). Of the 43 patients receiving OKT3, 11 (26%) had rejection episodes that were reversed and did not reoccur. Two patients had episodes that could not be reversed, resulting in graft loss. Of the 67 patients receiving MAG, 38 (57%) experienced a first rejection episode within the follow-up period; 16 of these had repeat rejections. Renal function was significantly better in the OKT3 group. Although both OKT3 and MAG were associated with excellent patient (98%) and graft (92%) survival, OKT3 was easier to administer with fewer rejection episodes. It was concluded that OKT3 is superior to MAG as perioperative cytoreductive therapy following cadaveric kidney transplantation.
