Organization and chromosomal localization of the human and mouse genes coding for LanC-like protein 1 (LANCL1) (2001)

We have determined the organization and chromosome location of the human LANCL1 and mouse Lancl1 genes encoding LANCL1, the lanthionine synthetase component C (LanC)-like protein 1. LANCL1 is related to the bacterial LanC family which is involved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial peptides. The human and mouse genes span 45 kb and 38 kb, respectively, each comprising ten exons. Within the potential promoter regions, several consensus sequences for ubiquitous and tissue-specific transcription factors are present, reflecting the expression data. The nucleotide sequence of the previously unknown mouse full-length transcript is also reported here. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses assigned the LANCL1 gene to human chromosome 2q34 and the Lancl1 gene to mouse chromosome 1, region C2-C5, in accordance with the known homology.
Precise molded plastic ferrules for single-mode optical fibers (1993)

A unique process has been developed to mold precision plastic optical ferrules using a DuPont proprietary liquid crystal polymer. Optical performance of the plastic ferrules is similar to ceramic ferrules for single mode applications. This paper describes the unique molding process, the polymer system, and the optical performance of this novel plastic ferrule.
Sensitivity Analysis Of Vynyl Sulphone And BisMonochlorotriazine Reactive Groups Of Reactive Dyes (2016)

Reactive dyes contain different types of reactive groups which have different levels of sensitivity. Reactive dyeing is carried out by exhaust method on cotton knit fabric. A trichromatic combination is chosen containing vinylsulphone and bis-monochlorotriazine reactive groups. Dyeing of fabric is carried out with standard condition and variation of the conditions (electrolyte concentration, pH, exhaustion time, fixation time and M:L). Colorimetric data (DE*) is produced by comparing the difference between standard shade and the resulting shades by using spectrophotometer. Between the investigated reactive groups of reactive dye bismonochlorotriazine shows lower sensitivity in other terms higher robustness than vinyl sulphone.
Changes in nitric oxide generation in rats with global ischemia : in vivo measurement using a nitric oxide sensor (1995)

Changes in nitric oxide (NO) in rats with global cerebral ischemia were measured continuously using a nitric oxide sensor. A selective and sensitive NO electrode and monitor (Intermedical Inc.), were used. The working electrode was made of Pt/Ir alloy coated with a three-layered membrane (0.2 mm in diameter). The three measuring sites were the striatum, the hippocampus and the cerebellum. The typical pattern of the changes in the NO currents was as follows : The NO current increased thirty to sixty seconds after 4-vessel occlusion (4-VO), and the first peak formed one to three minutes after 4-VO. The NO current subsequently decreased rapidly but remained above the baseline level. During recirculation, the NO current decreased and then increased gradually again. Several minutes up to forty minutes after recirculation, the NO current reached a maximum, and the second peak formed. It is suggested that NO was generated during global ischemia and after recirculation. Differences in NO generation at different measuring sites and the correlation of NO generation with ischemic neural injury in the hippocampal CA-I sector are discussed. Some factors, such as the severity of cerebral ischemia, brain temperature, increased intracranial pressure, brain pH, and products of small molecules other than NO are thought to influence NO currents and the actual NO generation in global cerebral ischemia. Furthermore, examination of the sensitivity of each NO electrode is important in measuring NO generation.
Surprising activity for Group 4 polyolefin catalysts [M{(OAr)2py}Cl2(thf)] (M = Zr, Ti) bearing tridentate pyridine-2,6-bis(aryloxide) ligands (2002)

Unexpectedly high ethylene polymerisation activity is observed for zirconium(IV) catalysts supported by a rigid tridentate pyridine-bis(phenolate) ligand in conjunction with MAO; a methodology towards analogues with unsymmetric ligands and the significance of the coordinated solvent molecule are described.
Physical reasons for the unusual α-helix stabilization afforded by charged or neutral polar residues in alanine-rich peptides (2000)

We have carried out conformational energy calculations on alanine-based copolymers with the sequence Ac-AAAAAXAAAA-NH(2) in water, where X stands for lysine or glutamine, to identify the underlying source of stability of alanine-based polypeptides containing charged or highly soluble polar residues in the absence of charge-charge interactions. The results indicate that ionizable or neutral polar residues introduced into the sequence to make them soluble sequester the water away from the CO and NH groups of the backbone, thereby enabling them to form internal hydrogen bonds. This solvation effect dictates the conformational preference and, hence, modifies the conformational propensity of alanine residues. Even though we carried out simulations for specific amino acid sequences, our results provide an understanding of some of the basic principles that govern the process of folding of these short sequences independently of the kind of residues introduced to make them soluble. In addition, we have investigated through simulations the effect of the bulk dielectric constant on the conformational preferences of these peptides. Extensive conformational Monte Carlo searches on terminally blocked 10-mer and 16-mer homopolymers of alanine in the absence of salt were carried out assuming values for the dielectric constant of the solvent epsilon of 80, 40, and 2. Our simulations show a clear tendency of these oligopeptides to augment the alpha-helix content as the bulk dielectric constant of the solvent is lowered. This behavior is due mainly to a loss of exposure of the CO and NH groups to the aqueous solvent. Experimental evidence indicates that the helical propensity of the amino acids in water shows a dramatic increase on addition of certain alcohols, such us trifluoroethanol. Our results provide a possible explanation of the mechanism by which alcohol/water mixtures affect the free energy of helical alanine oligopeptides relative to nonhelical ones.
High-/Mixed-Voltage RF and Analog CMOS Circuits Come of Age (2010)

Instead of blindly tracking the rapid downsizing of supply voltage (VDD) in technology scaling, high-/mixed-voltage radio-frequency (RF) and analog CMOS circuits have emerged as a prospective alternative comes of age. An elevated VDD, or a hybrid use of I/O and core VDD's, in conjunction with thinand thick-oxide MOS transistors open up many possibilities in defining circuit topologies, while maintaining the speed and area benefits of advanced processes. Circuit reliability can be guaranteed through advanced circuit techniques. This paper aims to provide a glimpse of the basic concept, system design considerations and circuit examples. A wide variety of RF and analog CMOS circuits designed based on such techniques are examined and new topologies are proposed. Those circuit topologies comprise the RF power amplifier, the low-noise amplifier, the mixer, operational-amplifier-based analog circuits, the sample-and-hold amplifier and, finally, the line driver. Reliability considerations such as oxide breakdown, hot carrier injection (HCI), time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB), and bias temperature instability (BTI) will be discussed, and their implications in different types of circuits will be justified. The outlined principles are extendable to other RF and analog circuits, motivating the adoption of new voltage-conscious topologies in ultrascaled CMOS processes.
Three‐Dimensional Encapsulation of Live Cells by Using a Hybrid Matrix of Nanoparticles in a Supramolecular Hydrogel (2008)

From a library of glyco-lipid mimics with muconic amide as the spacer, we found that 1, a glyco-lipid that has N-acetyl glucosamine and methyl cyclohexyl groups as its hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails, respectively, formed a stable hydrogel (0.05 wt %) through hierarchical self-assembly of the lipid molecules into supramolecular nanofibers. The formation of the supramolecular hydrogel was verified by rheological measurements, and the supramolecular nanofiber was characterized as the structural element by transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy observations. Absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopic measurements revealed that the muconic amide moieties of 1 are arranged in a helical, stacked fashion in the self-assembled nanofibers. Moreover, we unexpectedly found that the homogeneous distribution of the supramolecular nanofibers of 1 was greatly facilitated by the addition of polystyrene nanobeads (100-500 nm in diameter), as evaluated by confocal laser scanning microscopic observations. It is interesting that the obtained supramolecular hybrid matrix can efficiently encapsulate and distribute live Jurkat cells in three dimensions under physiological conditions. This supramolecular hybrid matrix is intriguing as a unique biomaterial.
Incremental and Iterative Agile Methodology (IIAM): Hybrid Approach for Ontology Design towards Semantic Web Based Educational Systems Development (2016)

A number of Semantic Web based system initiatives have been emerging in various fields such as e-governance, healthcare and e-Learning. These initiatives were aimed at incorporating Semantic Web resources for greater adaptability, robustness and seamless services with easy integration of interoperable systems. Ontologies play a vital role in the realization of Semantic Web vision. Semantic Web initiatives based on ontology have emerged as a promising solution to most engineering problems which occur in these fields. However, current efforts in Semantic Web based Educational Systems (SWBES) are focusing mainly on the combination of two popular modalities of learning: web-based educational systems such as e-Learning Management Systems (e-LMS) and Artificial Intelligence in Education Systems (AIED). This research focuses on an ontology driven approach for a SWBES. An Incremental and Iterative Agile Methodology (IIAM) derived from matured software engineering process models have been used for the ontology development. This paper explains the philosophical and engineering aspects of the newly derived methodology. The stages and framework of the methodology have been applied to develop an educational ontology. Ontology organizes the learning hierarchy of Java Programming Language Protg has been used as an ontology editing tool and an appropriate descriptive language, Web Ontology Language (OWL), was used for the customization.
[The influence of adrenal cortical hormones on the state of the kinin system]. (1976)

Condition of the kinin system proved to depend on the function of the adrenal cortex. An excess of glucocorticoids decreased the activity of the kinin system of the blood and kidneys. The activity of the kinin system of the blood increased in hypocorticism, whereas in the kidneys there was seen a reduction of kallikrein formation.
Plant proanthocyanidins. Part II. Proanthocyanidin-A2 and its derivatives (1974)

The 2,7″-epoxy-4,8″-biflavan structure (1) has been deduced for the natural proanthocyanidin-A2 on the basis of spectroscopic (13C and 1H n.m.r.) and chemical evidence. Spectroscopic data are also outlined which lead, in association with biogenetic arguments, to a proposal (1a) for the absolute stereochemistry of the natural product. Hydrogenolysis of proanthocyanidin-A2 leads to fission of the C–O and C–C inter-flavan bonds and formation of the phenols (20) and (22). The same technique also leads to rupture of the inter-flavan linkage of dimers of the B group and hence to a novel micro-procedure for their identification. The isolation and characterisation of three trimeric proanthocyanidins based on A2 is also discussed.
INTERLEUKIN-22 DETECTED IN PATIENTS WITH ABDOMINAL SEPSIS (2010)

Interleukin 22 (IL-22) is a TH17-like cytokine known to specifically activate epithelial cells, thereby strengthening immune defense at host/environment interfaces. Animal studies suggest that IL-22 may play a crucial role in clinical sepsis. However, little is known about IL-22 in sepsis patients. In a single-center university hospital setting, serum IL-22 levels were assessed in 16 patients with the diagnosis of abdominal sepsis, 16 patients who have undergone elective major abdominal surgery without the diagnosis of sepsis, and 21 healthy volunteers. In accordance with current knowledge, we observed enhanced levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in serum specimens of sepsis patients compared with surgical control patients. Here, we report, for the first time, a modest but significant elevation of serum IL-22 detectable in abdominal sepsis patients (P G 0.001). Median serum concentrations of IL-22 were 111.8 pg/mL, 3.4 or 2.0 pg/mL, and 9.3 pg/mL for abdominal sepsis patients, surgical control patients (presurgery or postsurgery), and healthy volunteers,respectively. Interleukin 22 produced in the course of abdominal sepsis may contribute to host defense and stabilization of mucosal barrier functions under conditions of systemic infection.
R&D and marketing integration in Taiwan's IT industry (2005)

Taiwan's IT (information technology) industry has achieved outstanding performance over the last two decades. However, no prior research had been dedicated to the NPD (new product development) project of Taiwan's IT industry. This study explored the actual R&D and marketing integration situation in Taiwanese IT firms. The results could be a good reference for those developing countries which are struggling to enhance their national competitiveness. This study found that the intangible perception of R&D-marketing integration has a higher impact on the actual achievement of integration than any other tangible integrating mechanism. Formalisation is the most effective tangible integrating mechanism to enhance R&D-marketing integration, because it clearly defined the NPD process. Joint reward system, informal social network, and job rotation significantly impact the actual achievement of R&D-marketing integration.
Attacks on MacDES MAC algorithm (1999)

Two new attacks are given on a cipher block chaining-message authentication code algorithm which is in the final stages of being standardised as MAC algorithm 4 in ISO/IEC FDIS 9797-1. The attacks are significantly more efficient than previously known attacks, which means that the inclusion of this scheme in the standard will need to be reconsidered.

<sup>31</sup>P magnetic resonance spectroscopy of traumatic spinal cord injury (1987)

31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was applied in vivo to study metabolic changes in spinal cord after experimental traumatic injury. Severe trauma, resulting in spastic paraplegia, caused an early and sustained loss of high energy phosphates with profound intracellular acidosis. Early metabolic changes after traumatic spinal injury may predict irreversible tissue damage.
Surface Modification Techniques of Titanium and its Alloys to Functionally Optimize Their Biomedical Properties: Thematic Review (2020)

Depending on the requirements of specific applications, implanted materials including metals, ceramics, and polymers have been used in various disciplines of medicine. Titanium and its alloys as implant materials play a critical role in the orthopedic and dental procedures. However, they still require the utilization of surface modification technologies to not only achieve the robust osteointegration but also to increase the antibacterial properties, which can avoid the implant-related infections. This article aims to provide a summary of the latest advances in surface modification techniques, of titanium and its alloys, specifically in biomedical applications. These surface techniques include plasma spray, physical vapor deposition, sol-gel, micro-arc oxidation, etc. Moreover, the microstructure evolution is comprehensively discussed, which is followed by enhanced mechanical properties, osseointegration, antibacterial properties, and clinical outcomes. Future researches should focus on the combination of multiple methods or improving the structure and composition of the composite coating to further enhance the coating performance.
Findings of the Joint Workshop on Evaluation of Impacts of Space Station Freedom Ground Configurations (1990)

A workshop to consider the effects of various proposed Space Station Freedom (SSF) grounding schemes was held. Expert from the plasma interactions community evaluated the impacts of environmental interactions on SSF under each of three proposed grounding schemes. The choice of the grounding scheme for the SSF power system was found to have important implications for SSF design. Interactions of the SSF power system and structure with the low earth orbit (LEO) plasma differ significantly between different grounding schemes. Environmental constraints will require modification of current SSF designs under any grounding scheme. Maintaining the present negative ground scheme may compromise SSF safety, structural integrity, and electromagnetic compatibility, and will increase contamination rates over alternate schemes. Positive grounding of the array requires redesign of the primary power system. Floating the array reduces the number of circuit changes in the primary power system but adds new hardware. Maintaining the present design will affect all parts of SSF. However, no impacts were identified on SSF systems outside of the electrical power system by positively grounding or floating the array.
Associating text and graphics for scientific chart understanding (2005)

This paper presents our recent work that aims at associating the recognition results of textual and graphical information contained in the scientific chart images. Text components are first located in the input image and then recognized using OCR. On the other hand, the graphical objects are segmented and form high level symbols. Both logical and semantic correspondence between text and graphical symbols are identified. The association of text and graphics allows us to capture the semantic meaning carried by scientific chart images in a more complete way. The result of scientific chart image understanding is presented using XML documents.
A Low-Dimensional Representation of Human Faces For Arbitrary Lighting Conditions (1994)

When recognizing a fixed object from a fixed viewpoint, the dominant source of variation in image intensity is lighting changes. We propose a lowdimensional model for human faces that can both synthesize a face image when given lighting conditions and can estimate lighting conditions when given a face tmage. The model can handle non-Lambertian and selfshadowing surfaces such as faces because it does not make any assumptions about either the surface’s geometry or bidirectional reflecfance function. The model can be adapted to handle any arbitrary lighting condition,, and is easily extendable to any other viewpoint or to any other object.
Sexuality, apomixis and polyploidy; Potentilla argentea as a critical example (1996)

Finding a diploid facultative apomictic plant species would give a great opportunity to solve problems concerning the existence and persistence of sexuality and also, it would be a possible source to get a transferable apomictic gene from. The putative diploid facultative apomict Potentilla argentea from southern Sweden was investigated with RAPD, isozymes and flow cytometry. Its mode of reproduction in nature was found to be sexual, primarly by self-fertilization but outcrossing occured at a measurable rate. No traces of apomixis were found. All offspring from artificial crosses in greenhouse environments, both with diploid and hexaploid pollen donors, were sexually derived. Also in this experiments no traces of apomixis could be found. Two tetraploid hybrids were obtained in crosses between diploid and hexaploid P. argentea. Diploid and hexaploid Potentilla argentea L (s.l.) are found in extensive sympatry in southern Sweden. The hexaploid form is an allohexaploid. Due to similarities in morphology and isozymes we suggested the diploid form to be one of the parent species. We found any evidence of multipel origin of the hexaploid form. Instead the many clones found in the investigation area is suggested to be a result of apomictic reproduction intervined by occasional outcrossing. All offspring in artificial crosses in greenhouse, except one with 9x, were apomicticly reproduced.
Preventing Early Failure of Pump Ball Bearings (1988)

Ninety percent of premature pump ball bearing failure can be attributed to corrosion caused by contamination, poor handling before and during installation, lubricant failure, or overheating caused by improper fits in housings or shafts. This article discusses these causes of bearing failure and how bearing life can be extended. Selection, storage, and handling during installation are focused on as methods of preventing premature bearing failure.
Fast, efficient, and robust multicast in wireless mesh networks (2008)

IEEE 802.11s mesh networks are extending the reach and speed of wireless networks, especially in the realm of public safety. For many applications (e.g. situational awareness and emulation of push-to-talk radio) multicast is an important network service. In the future, we expect to see even more multicast traffic in mesh networks, as more bandwidth intensive applications (e.g. video) become commonplace. In existing mesh networks, multicast is often slow, inefficient, and not particularly robust to packet loss. In this paper we describe, propose, and simulate a wide-range of mesh multicast algorithms to determine the most fast, efficient, and robust multicast algorithm. We examine the algorithms under a range of traffic loads and packet error rates. We find that even very simple mechanisms can dramatically improve multicast performance. We also find that complex robustness protocols can be very expensive and may significantly lower the congestion point.
