High-efficiency folded shallow-grating coupler with minimal back reflection toward isolator-free optical integration (2015)

Back reflection from grating couplers can be an obstacle to integrate them with isolator-free light sources. A folded shallow-grating coupler is proposed. We numerically confirmed a back reflection of −27 dB while achieving an upward emitting efficiency of −0.58 dB.
OCI-5/Rat Glypican-3 Binds to Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 but Not to Insulin-like Growth Factor-2 (1997)

OCI-5 encodes the rat homologue of glypican-3, a membrane-bound heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is mutated in the Simpson-Golabi-Behmel overgrowth syndrome. OCI-5 and glypican-3 are 95% identical. It has been recently suggested that glypican-3 interacts with insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and that this interaction regulates IGF-2 activity. We report here that we have transfected OCI-5 into two different cell lines, and we have not been able to detect an interaction between the OCI-5 proteoglycan produced by the transfected cells and IGF-2. On the other hand, we have found that OCI-5 interacts with FGF-2, as has already been shown for glypican-1. This interaction is mediated by the heparan sulfate chains of OCI-5 because it can be inhibited by heparin or by heparitinase.
Differential distribution of two ATP-gated channels (P2X receptors) determined by immunocytochemistry. (1996)

Several P2X receptor subunits were recently cloned; of these, one was cloned from the rat vas deferens (P2X1) and another from pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells differentiated with nerve growth factor (P2X2). Peptides corresponding to the C-terminal portions of the predicted receptor proteins (P2X1 391-399 and P2X2 460-472) were used to generate antisera in rabbits. The specificities of antisera were determined by staining human embryonic kidney cells stably transfected with either P2X1 or P2X2 receptors and by absorption controls with the cognate peptides. In the vas deferens and the ileal submucosa, P2X1 immunoreactivity (ir) was restricted to smooth muscle, whereas P2X2-ir was restricted to neurons and their processes. Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and PC12 cells contained both P2X1- and P2X2-ir. P2X1-ir was also found in smooth muscle cells of the bladder, cardiac myocytes, and nerve fibers and terminals in the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord. In contrast, P2X2-ir was observed in scattered cells of the anterior pituitary, neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate and paraventricular nuclei, and catecholaminergic neurons in the olfactory bulb, the substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area, and locus coeruleus. A plexus of nerve fibers and terminals in the nucleus of the solitary tract contained P2X2-ir. This staining disappeared after nodose ganglionectomy, consistent with a presynaptic function. The location of the P2X1 subunit in smooth muscle is consistent with its role as a postjunctional receptor in autonomic transmission, while in neurons, these receptors appear in both postsynaptic and presynaptic locations.
Local arthroscopic bone grafting of a juxta‐articular glenoid bone cyst (1997)

This report describes a rare, juxta-articular bone cyst of the posterior glenoid that developed after a fracture of the glenoid in a 38-year-old male. The patient had persistent pain, popping and stiffness of his right shoulder for 3 years, and failed to improve after a nonoperative rehabilitation program. At arthroscopy, the senior author transported an autogenous bone graft from the bare area of the humeral head to fill the glenoid cyst arthroscopically. At second-look arthroscopy approximately 1 year after the index procedure, the bone graft had consolidated within the original cystic defect and the surface was covered with fibrocartilage. The graft harvest site posteriorly on the humeral head had healed with a small amount of scar tissue at the articular margin. Comfortable motion and function were restored.
Mechanism of Photoinduced Step Polymerization of Thiophene by Onium Salts:  Reactions of Phenyliodinium and Diphenylsulfinium Radical Cations with Thiophene (2007)

Laser flash photolysis and EPR studies were performed to elucidate the mechanism of photoinduced step polymerization of thiophene by using diphenyliodonium (Ph2I+) and triphenylsulphonium (Ph3S+) ions as photoinitiators. Photoexcitation of these ions generated phenyliodinium (PhI•+) and diphenylsulphinium (Ph2S•+) radical cations, which were readily quenched by thiophene with rate constants of kq = 1.26 × 1010 and 1.7 × 105 M-1 s-1, respectively. The transient absorption spectra of the corresponding thiophene radical cations were not directly detectable because of the spectral overlap with the precursor salts. However, the related electron-transfer reaction was confirmed by quenching of the PhI•+ radical cation with bithiophene to form the radical cation of bithiophene, which absorb strongly at 420 nm. EPR studies also confirmed the proposed electron-transfer mechanism through the direct detection of the radical cation of thiophene.
Ontwikkelingen in ventilatie (1999)

Hoogwaardige klimaatinstallaties in gebouwen doen een steeds grotere aanslag op het bouwbudget. Bovendien zijn ze niet bepaald energiezuinig. Ook zijn ze geen garantie voor minder klachten over het binnenklimaat. Het zijn de oorzaken van een nieuwe trend om installatie-arme gebouwen na te streven. Betekent dit nu terug naar af? Weer terug naar de eenvoudige en ook niet probleemloze verwarmings- en ventilatiesystemen van vroeger? Of is er een tussenweg? Bij TNO is de laatste jaren veel gedaan aan de ontwikkeling van eenvoudige, energiezuinige ventilatiesystemen, waarbij de kwali-teit van het binnenmilieu aanvaardbaar blijft. Op de lezingen-dag die TVVL samen met TNO heeft gehouden, zijn de belang-rijke ontwikkelingen gepresenteerd. In dit artikel passeren ze kort de revue. Aan u om uit te maken of dergelijke ontwikkelingen een bedreiging zijn voor de installatiebranche of een nieuwe kans.
Complete sequence of a cloned cDNA encoding rabbit secreted <i>mu</i>-chain of VHa2 allotype: comparisons with VHa1 and membrane <i>mu</i> sequences. (1984)

The complete sequence of a cDNA clone (pmu3) encoding a secreted IgM heavy chain from a rabbit of VHa2 allotype has been determined. Comparison of the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences with a comparable mouse mu-chain shows unusually high homologies of the sequences of the fourth domains and secretory portions of the molecules (80 to 90% vs 56 to 73% for the other domains). This high degree of homology is also seen with the sequences of the fourth domain and secreted terminus of human mu-chain. The DNA sequence of a second cDNA clone encoding the membrane form of rabbit IgM is approximately 90% homologous with the mouse and human coding sequences for the membrane terminus, and there is 98 and 97% amino acid sequence homology. We found an unusually long (156 base pair) 5' untranslated region in clone pmu3 and discovered that 105 bases at the 5' end were complementary to the terminal portion of the CH4 domain of our mu sequence. Southern blotting analyses and the finding of a 13 base pair segment in rabbit genomic V region DNA that is homologous to the complementary strand of a segment of the CH4 of rabbit mu strongly suggests that this extended sequence resulted from a reverse transcriptase "hooking error". We have also obtained and sequenced another cDNA clone from a VHa1 cDNA library. Comparison of the V region of clone pmu3 from VHa2 with the 117 available positions of a1 DNA sequence shows 25 differences, nine of which are in allotype-associated codons. There is also a two-codon deletion in the VHa1 compared to VHa2 in the third framework region that may contribute to allotypic differences. Development of VHa allotype-specific probes, now in progress, is complicated by the fact that most of the allotype-associated amino acids of a1, a2, and a3 can be derived from each other by single base changes.
[The calibration of instrument response function during passive FTIR measurement]. (2006)

In order to obtain infrared spectral radiance distribution of some infrared sources, such as spectral radiant flux density, spectral radiant intensity, spectral radiance and spectral irradiance, the instrument response function under different conditions must be known. In the present paper, the calibration of instrument response function during passive FTIR measurement has been discussed. The experimental results illustrate that under different experimental conditions, the instrument response function varies not only with the temperature of the blackbody but also with the signal amplitude received by the infrared instrument. So, during passive FTIR measurement, the temperature and the emission signal amplitude of the source must be observed carefully in order to get satisfactory instrument response function.
The Synthesis of (<i>Z</i>)‐Trisubstituted Allylic Alcohols by the Selective 1,4‐Hydrogenation of Dienol Esters: Improved Synthesis of (−)‐β‐Santalol (2010)

(E)-Trisubstituted allylic alcohols are commonly prepared from the corresponding (E)-enals, themselves readily accessible by a simple aldol condensation reaction. We demonstrate that these very same (E)-enals can be converted into (Z)-trisubstituted allylic acetates (and thus alcohols) by a ruthenium-catalyzed 1,4-hydrogenation of the corresponding dienol acetates. This simple solution to a long-lasting problem was applied to an industrially feasible synthesis of (-)-β-santalol.
A Practical Route for the Synthesis of Prostaglandin D<sub>2</sub>Metabolites (1989)

Abstract A convenient, efficient route for the total synthesis of 9α, 11β-dihydroxy-13,14-dihydro-15-oxo-PGF2 2, a new plasma metabolite of prostaglandin D2 1 is described.
Evaluating Full Duplex Potential in Dense Small Cells from Channel Measurements (2016)

Full duplex transmission is envisioned as one of the potential breakthrough for a 5th Generation (5G) radio access technology. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of full duplex transmission in a network of dense small cells by using real channel measurements. A large measurement campaign is carried out in an indoor office and an open hall scenario, and such measurements are then fed to a system level simulator for offline analysis. Cell throughput results show that the promised 100% performance gain of full duplex over traditional half duplex transmission is significantly jeopardized by the increase of the intercell interference due to the simultaneous transmission and reception, and is further reduced in case of low cell activity factor.
Facile synthesis of an ultramicroporous MOF tubular membrane with selectivity towards CO<sub>2</sub> (2010)

A substituted imidazolate-based MOF (SIM-1) membrane has been crystallized in situ on a tubular asymmetric alumina support that can be exploited for gas separation through preferential adsorption.
Chiral recognition in gas-phase cyclodextrin: Amino acid complexes—Is the three point interaction still valid in the gas phase? (2001)

The validity of the "three-point interaction" model is examined in the guest exchange reaction involving complexes of cyclodextrins and amino acids. The amino acid guest is exchanged in the gas phase in the presence of a gaseous alkyl amine. The net reaction is proton transfer between the protonated amino acid and the alkyl amine. The amino acid is lost as a neutral species. This reaction is sensitive to the chirality of the amino acid. Several amino acids are examined as well as the respective methyl esters to determine the role of the three interacting groups (ammonium, carboxylic acid, and side chain) in enantioselectivity. We find that the three-point interaction model is indeed valid in the gas phase. Enantioselectivity is optimal when two points of attraction and one repulsion is present in the gas-phase complex. The results are supported by molecular modeling calculations. A mechanism for the exchange is proposed.

Liquidity and execution costs in equity markets (1988)

<h3>Abstract</h3> The BioCreative VII Track 5 calls for participants to tackle the multi-label classification task for automated topic annotation of COVID-19 literature. In our participation, we evaluated several deep learning models built on PubMedBERT, a pre-trained language model, with different strategies addressing the challenges of the task. Specifically, multi-instance learning was used to deal with the large variation in the lengths of the articles, and focal loss function was used to address the imbalance in the distribution of different topics. We found that the ensemble model performed the best among all the models we have tested. Test results of our submissions showed that our approach was able to achieve satisfactory performance with an F1 score of 0.9247, which is significantly better than the baseline model (F1 score: 0.8678) and the mean of all the submissions (F1 score: 0.8931).
Formulation, Solid State Characterization and Enhancement of Dissolution Rate of Olmesartan Medoxomil by Polyvinyl Alcohol-Polyethylene Glycol Graft Copolymer Based Nanoparticles (2016)

The objectives of present investigation were to prepare and evaluate nanoparticles of Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) by a precipitation method using polyvinyl alcoholpolyethylene glycol graft copolymer (Kollicoat IR) and to investigate the effect of stirring speed & time on particle size. Particles were characterized for drug content, FTIR, zeta potential (ZP), particle size distribution (Dynamic light scattering), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), solubility, in vitro release and stability studies. All batches showed drug content in range of 93.24 0.96% to 99.91 0.98%, particle size in range of 136.3-188.9 nm. As stirring speed increased particles of reduced size obtained and vice versa. ZP values of formulations were from -2.28 mV to -17.90 mV & comply with requirement of ZP for stability. Solubility results indicated improvement in solubility of formulations. PXRD analysis showed particles were in same crystalline state as raw OLM. Particle exhibited enhanced dissolution compared to raw material due to reduction in particle size, increased surface area & solubility. When formulated in tablets showed improvement in dissolution, compared to marketed formulation, anti solvent precipitation method is promising tool to prepare OLM particles by using Kollicoat IR as a polymer, for enhancement of solubility, dissolution velocity of OLM.
Predation, Reproduction, and Impact of Phytoseiid Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on Cyclamen Mite (Acari: Tarsonemidae) on Strawberry (1998)

Abilities of phytoseiid mites to attack, reproduce, and control cyclamen mite, Phy- tonenus pallidus (Banks), on strawberry were assessed. In laboratory feeding tests,Typhlodromus Pyri Scheuten, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman), and N. califomicus (Chant) attacked P. pallidusli most often; Amblyseius andersoni Chant fed on the cycalmen mite most successfully, and Galendromusoccidentalis (Nesbitt) had difficulty piercing the hardened body of adults. Net predation was T. pyri > N. fallacies > N. californicus > A. andersoni > G. occidentalis, Although several species fed on cyclamen mites, some are more common on strawberry or are more proven as effective predators of P. pallidus and thus later reproduction and pest control tests were conducted with only 2 species. When held with excess cyclamen mites, survival and immature production of N. fallacies were ""'50% of when feeding on a more preferred prey, Tetranychus urticae Koch and like levels for N. cucl1meris (Oudemans), a proven effective predator of P. pallidus. When releases of N.fallacis or N. CtIc11lneris were made to plants with moderate densities of cyclamen mites and T. urticae, pests were controlled sooner and damage to plants was less with N. fallacis than N. Cucumeris. Releases of both phytoseiids to plants infested with high densities of only cyclamen mites produced fewer of either N. fallacis or N. Cucumeris than when both pests were present, but there was better pest control (less plant damage) and again, N.fallacis gave slightly better control than N. CtICt1meris.Although N.fallacis gave more rapid control of both pests, N. Cucumeris may give longer-term regulation at lower densities. Differences in life histories may dictate that unique methods of release are needed for N. fallacis versus N. Cucumeris and mixed releases of both may be effective.
Programs for Cell Death: Apoptosis is Only One Way to Go (2007)

Cell death programs are major players in tissue homeostasis, development and cellular stress responses. A prominent cause of malignant transformation is the cumulative genetic alterations in pathways that regulate cellular growth and death. The processes that govern cell death following genotoxic stress are a major focus of basic research and are also very relevant to translational research in clinical oncology: understanding cell death following cancer therapy is essential for designing new treatment modalities. Cell death is usually, and sometimes automatically, linked with one of its major programs, apoptosis. Recent advances have led, however, to the emergence of additional, non-apoptotic cell death pathways, each with its triggers and readouts. Genotoxic stress appears to induce several cell death pathways, only part of which fall within the classical definition of apoptosis. Accordingly, solid tumor cells that are refractive to apoptosis were shown to die via non-apoptotic mechanisms. Recently we demonstrated that mitotic cell death induced by DNA damage in cells with defective G2/M checkpoint is mechanistically distinct from apoptosis. This review outlines recent advances in the understanding of molecular networks operative in apoptotic and non-apoptotic cell death mechanisms and their cross-talks.
Scalable Syntheses of the Vaulted Biaryl Ligands VAPOL and VANOL via the Cycloaddition/Electrocyclization Cascade (2011)

Synthetic approaches to the VANOL and VAPOL ligands are developed which are straightforward, inexpensive, efficient, and amenable to large-scale preparation of the ligands since minimum chromatographic purification is required. The key step in each synthesis is a cycloaddition/electrocyclic ring-opening/electrocyclic ring closure/tautomerization cascade that provides a direct one-step route to the monomers from which each ligand is prepared. Improved phenol coupling protocols are developed which provide the racemic ligands. Finally, dramatic improvements in the resolution procedures feature the reduction of the number of chemical steps and the defining of new crystallization protocols that greatly enhance the ease and reliability of the separation of diastereomeric salts.
Fetal erythroblasts from maternal blood identified with 2,3‐bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) and <i>in situ</i> hybridization (ISH) using Y‐specific probes (1995)

Different types of fetal nucleated cells can be found in maternal blood, providing the possibility of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis. For this purpose, we have studied fetal erythroblasts. We discovered that haemoglobin-containing cells treated with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) can be visualized by a peroxidase reaction, which at the same time visualizes an in situ hybridization (ISH) signal, specific for the X, Y or 21 chromosome. In order to prove that the BPG-positive cells were erythroid, an anti-glycophorin A (GPA) antiserum combined with a staphylococcal rosette technique was used. To enrich for erythroblasts, leukocytes were depleted from maternal blood by treatment with anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody and passage over an anti-mouse IgG-coated glass bead column. To evaluate the potential of the method for clinical use, we studied maternal blood samples from 18 women referred to us for prenatal diagnosis between 6 and 19 weeks of gestation. Erythroblasts were found in 13 out of 14 normal pregnancies. Erythroblasts with a Y-signal were found as early as 9 weeks of gestation, but at 6 weeks the Y-signal was seen in BPG-negative cells only. These cells showed an epithelioid morphology indicating that they were cytotrophoblasts. The BPG-ISH method provides a simple technique for identifying erythroblasts and simultaneously visualizing a desired probe.
Topological design of lightweight additively manufactured mirrors for space (2018)

Additive manufacturing (AM), more commonly known as 3D printing, is a commercially established technology for rapid prototyping and fabrication of bespoke intricate parts. To date, research quality mirror prototypes are being trialled using additive manufacturing, where a high quality reflective surface is created in a post-processing step. One advantage of additive manufacturing for mirror fabrication is the ease to lightweight the structure: the design is no longer confined by traditional machining (mill, drill and lathe) and optimised/innovative structures can be used. The end applications of lightweight AM mirrors are broad; the motivation behind this research is low mass mirrors for space-based astronomical or Earth Observation imaging. An example of a potential application could be within nano-satellites, where volume and mass limits are critical. The research presented in this paper highlights the early stage experimental development in AM mirrors and the future innovative designs which could be applied using AM. The surface roughness on a diamond-turned AM aluminium (AlSi<sub>10</sub>Mg) mirror is presented which demonstrates the ability to achieve an average roughness of ~3.6nm root mean square (RMS) measured over a 3 x 3 grid. A Fourier transform of the roughness data is shown which deconvolves the roughness into contributions from the diamond-turning tooling and the AM build layers. In addition, two nickel phosphorus (NiP) coated AlSi<sub>10</sub>Mg AM mirrors are compared in terms of surface form error; one mirror has a generic sandwich lightweight design at 44% the mass of a solid equivalent, prior to coating and the second mirror was lightweighted further using the finite element analysis tool topology optimisation. The surface form error indicates an improvement in peak-to-valley (PV) from 323nm to 204nm and in RMS from 83nm to 31nm for the generic and optimised lightweighting respectively while demonstrating a weight reduction between the samples of 18%. The paper concludes with a discussion of the breadth of AM design that could be applied to mirror lightweighting in the future, in particular, topology optimisation, tessellating polyhedrons and Voronoi cells are presented.
Effective Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Sites May Differ for Tremor, Bradykinesia and Gait Disturbances in Parkinson’s Disease (2011)

The iterative volumetric analysis is a valuable tool in identifying anatomic regions responsive to DBS across a subject population treated for PD. In the subjects tested, overlapping efficacy for all symptoms was observed in the region of the STN, but anatomic variances in the responsiveness for tremor, bradykinesia, and gait were found.
