microRNAs Associated with Drought Response in the Bioenergy Crop Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) (2012)

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Drought stress is a major abiotic stress factor that significantly reduces sugarcane yields. However the gene network that mediates plant responses to water stress remains largely unknown in several crop species. Although several microRNAs that mediate post-transcriptional regulation during water stress have been described in other species, the role of the sugarcane microRNAs during drought stress has not been studied. The objective of this work was to identify sugarcane miRNAs that are differentially expressed under drought stress and to correlate this expression with the behavior of two sugarcane cultivars with different drought tolerances. The sugarcane cultivars RB867515 (higher drought tolerance) and RB855536 (lower drought tolerance) were cultivated in a greenhouse for three months and then subjected to drought for 2, 4, 6 or 8 days. By deep sequencing of small RNAs, we were able to identify 18 miRNA families. Among all of the miRNAs thus identified, seven were differentially expressed during drought. Six of these miRNAs were differentially expressed at two days of stress, and five miRNAs were differentially expressed at four days. The expression levels of five miRNAs (ssp-miR164, ssp-miR394, ssp-miR397, ssp-miR399-seq 1 and miR528) were validated by RT-qPCR (quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR). Six precursors and the targets of the differentially expressed miRNA were predicted using an in silico approach and validated by RT-qPCR; many of these targets may play important roles in drought tolerance. These findings constitute a significant increase in the number of identified miRNAs in sugarcane and contribute to the elucidation of the complex regulatory network that is activated by drought stress.
Higiene bucal en escolares de 6-13 años de edad de Campeche, México (2009)

El objetivo de este trabajo fue identificar la distribucion, mediante diferentes variables, del nivel de la higiene bucal en escolares de 6 a 13 anos de edad. Se realizo un estudio transversal en 1.644 ninos de la ciudad de Campeche, Mexico. Las variables sociodemograficas y socioeconomicas se recogieron utilizando un cuestionario dirigido a las madres/tutores. Para evaluar la higiene, se construyo el Indice de Higiene Clinico-Conductual, formado por la frecuencia de cepillado (parte conductual) y la placa dentobacteriana (indice de Silness y Loe, parte clinica). El nivel socioeconomico (NSE) fue determinado de acuerdo con la ocupacion y escolaridad de los padres. El analisis se realizo utilizando pruebas no parametricas. La distribucion de la higiene bucal fue: 22,7% adecuada, 45,8% regular, y 31,5% inadecuada. Se observaron peores niveles de higiene bucal conforme disminuye el NSE (p<0.01), en los ninos, en quienes no visitan al dentista, quienes presentaron defectos de desarrollo del esmalte, y a mayor tamano de la familia (p<0.001). Como conclusion podemos decir que pocos ninos presentaron higiene bucal adecuada. Se encontraron variables sociodemograficas y socioeconomicas asociadas a la higiene bucal. El hallazgo de la asociacion entre el NSE y la higiene bucal, hace necesario disenar medidas para disminuir las brechas de las conductas de salud entre los grupos sociales.
The effect of clomiphene citrate and its Zu or En isomers on the reproductive system of the immature male rat (2009)

The effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) and of its Zuclomiphene (ZuC) and Enclomiphene (EnC) isomers on the reproductive organs of immature male rats under different experimental conditions is reported. CC, ZuC, and EnC were administered daily to groups of either intact or castrated rats between the age of 21-44 d. This led to inhibition of weight increase of testis and accessory glands in the intact group. Spermatogenesis was arrested at the stage of primary spermatocyte following CC and ZuC treatment, and at the stage of young spermatids by EnC treatment. In the castrated group clomiphenes significantly stimulated weight increase of seminal vesicles (SV) compared with castrated control animals, but the former group were unable to achieve organ weight gain comparable to that in normal controls. Administration of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) together with CC or each of its isomers to intact animals, abolished the drug effect on spermatogenesis and on reproductive organ growth. Administration of CC, ZuC, and EnC together with testosterone to castrated animals, abolished the drug effect on growth inhibition of accessory glands. In intact treated rats LH and testosterone secretion were suppressed by all forms of clomiphenes. In the castrated group ZuC proved to be the most potent inhibitor of LH secretion. Therefore, it is inferred that ZuC and EnC have different potencies as far as their biological activity in the immature male rat is expressed.
Anti‐infliximab IgE and non‐IgE antibodies and induction of infusion‐related severe anaphylactic reactions (2009)

This report indicates that in some patients with infliximab-related severe reactions, IgE or IgM antibodies against infliximab were detectable. The majority of reactions could be predicted by the appearance of anti-infliximab antibodies.
FEEDBACK SYSTEMS (2003)

This book, first published in 2004, is an expanded and thoroughly revised edition of Tom Lee's acclaimed guide to the design of gigahertz RF integrated circuits. A new chapter on the principles of wireless systems provides a bridge between system and circuit issues. The chapters on low-noise amplifiers, oscillators and phase noise have been significantly expanded. The chapter on architectures now contains several examples of complete chip designs, including a GPS receiver and a wireless LAN transceiver, that bring together the theoretical and practical elements involved in producing a prototype chip. Every section has been revised and updated with findings in the field and the book is packed with physical insights and design tips, and includes a historical overview that sets the whole field in context. With hundreds of circuit diagrams and homework problems this is an ideal textbook for students taking courses on RF design and a valuable reference for practising engineers.
Immunological evaluation of vaccination with pre-designated peptides frequently selected as vaccine candidates in an individualized peptide vaccination regimen (2004)

We previously conducted a trial of an 'individualized' regimen, in which cancer patients were vaccinated with peptides after the confirmation of pre-existing peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) precursors. In this study, we performed a new trial of 'pre-designated' regimen, in which cancer patients were vaccinated with peptides that were frequently selected as vaccine candidates in the preceding individualized regimen. Eighteen cancer patients (10 with uterine cervical cancer and 8 with gastric cancer) were enrolled in the new regimen. The pre-designated regimen was well tolerated by all patients. Although peptide-specific CTL precursors and humoral responses increased in the majority of patients with the pre-designated regimen, neither of the responses correlated with clinical outcome. Three patients had long stable disease, and their pre-vaccination peripheral blood mononuclear cells contained peptide-specific CTL precursors reactive to more than 2 of 4 peptides. With the pre-designated regimen, the levels of pre-existing immunoglobulin G reactive to non-vaccinated peptides decreased in 5 of 15 patients with progressive disease, and their time to progression was very short, whereas such a decrease was rarely observed in the preceding individualized regimen. These results suggest that the pre-designated regimen can elicit a primary immune response, but may incidentally suppress pre-existing immune responses.
Effects of microbial supplements containing yeast and lactobacilli on roughage-fed ruminal microbial activities. (1990)

Effects of two microbial feed supplements on microbial activities in rumen-stimulating cultures and the rumens of steers fed a fescue hay-based roughage diet were evaluated. The yeast culture supplement contained Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1.4 to 4.2 × 109 colony-forming units [cfu]/g), whereas the mixed microbial supplement contained yeast, lactobacilli and enterococci (1.4 to 2.7 × 109 cfu/g, 1.2 to 2.3 × 109 cfu/g, and 1.5 to 2.6 × 1010 cfu/g, respectively). Concentrations of viable yeast cells were increased consistently in continuous cultures and rumens of steers receiving either supplement (1 g/kg of feed). However, neither supplement consistently altered the relative concentrations of volatile fatty acids or ammonia in continuous cultures and rumens of steers. The pH tended to be greater (P = .13) in continuous cultures receiving yeast culture supplement man in cultures receiving the unsupplemented diet (6.50 vs 6.36), but pH in the rumens of steers was not affected by the supplements. Concentrations of cellulolytic microorganisms in cultures and the rumens of steers receiving supplements containing only yeast were from 5 to 40 times greater than those observed in cultures or steers receiving the unsupplemented diet. Supplements that had been treated with heat (121°C for 15 min) to inactive yeast cells did not alter the concentrations of cellulolytic bacteria in rumen-stimulating cultures. These results suggest that live yeast culture supplements stimulate growth of cellulolytic microorganisms in the rumen.
Surface plasmon resonance in nanostructured metal films under the Kretschmann configuration (2009)

We systematically investigated the surface plasmon resonance in one-dimensional (1D) subwavelength nanostructured metal films under the Kretschmann configuration. We calculated the reflectance, transmittance, and absorption for varying the dielectric fill factor, the period of the 1D nanostructure, and the metal film thickness. We have found that the small dielectric slits in the metal films reduce the surface plasmon resonance angle and move it toward the critical angle for total internal reflection. The reduction in surface plasmon resonance angle in nanostructured metal films is due to the increased intrinsic free electron oscillation frequency in metal nanostructures. Also we have found that the increasing the spatial frequency of the 1D nanograting reduces the surface plasmon resonance angle, which indicates that less momentum is needed to match the momentum of the surface plasmon-polariton. The variation in the nanostructured metal film thickness changes the resonance angle slightly, but mainly remains as a mean to adjust the coupling between the incident optical wave and the surface plasmon-polariton wave.
Improving the Immersion in Virtual Reality with Real-Time Avatar and Haptic Feedback in a Cricket Simulation (2017)

The basis of this research is concerned with designing and implementing a system that allows a player to engage in a virtual reality (VR) game with better immersion. The research was based on the idea that an avatar generated using real-time motion capture would improve the player’s immersion by increasing the perception of presence. When playing the VR games a common problem was observed. The user’s avatar (Virtual agent) was not improved as most of the games were played using limited controllers. The inputs from these controllers were noted as insufficient to generate the entire body’s animation. This research attempts to solve this problem by proposing/implementing full body motion capture and the establishment of the self-avatar in real time in a VR game. This involved designing a system that utilizes the effective technologies for 3D imaging, transmission and haptic feedback. The research attempts to measure the immersion by enhancing measuring instruments (Norman, 2010). It is complimented by a user-based study that involves/involved collecting both qualitative and quantitative data through questionnaire and observation.
Multiband Lossless Compression of Hyperspectral Images (2009)

Hyperspectral images exhibit significant spectral correlation, whose exploitation is crucial for compression. In this paper, we investigate the problem of predicting a given band of a hyperspectral image using more than one previous band. We present an information-theoretic analysis based on the concept of conditional entropy, which is used to assess the available amount of correlation and the potential compression gain. Then, we propose a new lossless compression algorithm that employs a Kalman filter in the prediction stage. Simulation results are presented on Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer, Hyperspectral Digital Imagery Collection Experiment, and Hyperspectral Mapper scenes, showing competitive performance with other state-of-the-art compression algorithms.

Six hours of enrichment followed by antigen detection proved to be a rapid and reliable method for detection of GBS colonization. This test is easy to perform making it an ideal test for screening GBS vaginal colonization at labour and starting chemoprophylaxis, where indicated on the same day, before the woman is discharged.
Frequency domain approach for activity classification using accelerometer (2008)

Activity classification was performed using MEMS accelerometer and wireless sensor node for wireless sensor network environment. Three axes MEMS accelerometer measures body's acceleration and transmits measured data with the help of sensor node to base station attached to PC. On the PC, real time accelerometer data is processed for movement classifications. In this paper, Rest, walking and running are the classified activities of the person. Both time and frequency analysis was performed to classify running and walking. The classification of rest and movement is done using Signal magnitude area (SMA). The classification accuracy for rest and movement is 100%. For the classification of walk and Run two parameters i.e. SMA and Median frequency were used. The classification accuracy for walk and running was detected as 81.25% in the experiments performed by the test persons.

A RAM-Based MAC Table with Two-Tier Security at Layer 2 (2015)

ABSTRACTA novel architecture has been presented in this paper which replaces the conventional content addressable memory (CAM)-based media access control (MAC) table by a RAM-based MAC table. The proposed RAM-based MAC table stores only the port numbers instead of both MAC addresses and their associated port numbers. The architecture also prevents unauthorized access to data in a network by disallowing broadcasting of an incoming frame and instead it broadcasts a control signal to every other host except the sender in the network requesting a response from the intended recipient. In this architecture, a two-tier security at data-link layer has also been established by introducing two additional fields of security keys (primary and secondary) to tighten the security. The proposed architecture has been compared with the existing and improved CAM-based approaches and shows 50% lesser number of transistor count usage. This leads to less heat dissipation and power consumption.KEYWORDS: MAC tableRAM-based MAC tablesecurity at layer 2security at data-link layertwo-tier security Additional informationNotes on contributorsSanchita Saha RaySanchita Saha Ray is currently working as an assistant professor in St Thomas’ College of Engineering and Technology, Khidderpore, Kolkata, India.

Influence of ambient conditions on electrical partial discharge resistance of epoxy anhydride based polymers using IEC 60343 method (2019)

Epoxy resins are the most used polymeric systems when it comes to high voltage insulations. Their excellent electrical and mechanical properties in combination with the ability to withstand high thermal stress are what makes them so appreciated. During usage, partial discharges (PD) can occur in high voltage machines, e.g., generators or electric motors. They may deteriorate the insulation system. To prevent machine failures of high voltage machines and to guarantee longer operating times, it is important to know the influencing factors of PD. This study deals with the evaluation of the influencing factors of partial discharge and makes an effort to assess the partial discharge resistance (PDR) of bisphenol-A epoxy resin. Neat epoxy samples and samples loaded with SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> -nanoparticles are prepared and submitted to partial discharge under different atmospheres using a method similar to the IEC 60343. After electrical aging, the specific eroded volume of the polymers is measured via a non contact surface metrology system. The determining factors of the partial discharge resistance were identified. Using SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> - nanoparticles, an improvement of the chemical resistance, which has decisive influence on the partial discharge resistance, was found.
Recovery of surface orientation from diffuse polarization (2006)

When unpolarized light is reflected from a smooth dielectric surface, it becomes partially polarized. This is due to the orientation of dipoles induced in the reflecting medium and applies to both specular and diffuse reflection. This paper is concerned with exploiting polarization by surface reflection, using images of smooth dielectric objects, to recover surface normals and, hence, height. This paper presents the underlying physics of polarization by reflection, starting with the Fresnel equations. These equations are used to interpret images taken with a linear polarizer and digital camera, revealing the shape of the objects. Experimental results are presented that illustrate that the technique is accurate near object limbs, as the theory predicts, with less precise, but still useful, results elsewhere. A detailed analysis of the accuracy of the technique for a variety of materials is presented. A method for estimating refractive indices using a laser and linear polarizer is also given.

Expression of Neurotensin in Endocrine Tumors* (1990)

Endocrine tumors are useful sources for determining the synthesis and metabolism of secreted regulatory peptides. The present study was performed to compare the synthesis and metabolism of neurotensin (NT) in normal subjects and four patients with NT-producing tumors. NT mRNA was measured and characterized using oligonucleotide probes and Northern blots, while NT-like peptides were quantitated by RIA with region-specific antisera and high pressure liquid chromatography. Northern blot analysis of mRNA isolated from normal human ileum revealed two species of mRNA hybridizing to a heterologous canine oligonucleotide probe; the apparent sizes of the mRNA were 1.4 and 1.0 kilobases. An identical pattern was found in a pancreatic endocrine tumor, a prostatic adenocarcinoma, and a fibrolamellar hepatoma. The ratio of mRNA to peptide varied between the different tissues. For instance, the hepatoma was the richest source of NT mRNA, but the prostatic tumor contained the highest peptide concentration. Measurements with region-specific antisera showed that N-terminal immunoreactive fragments were more abundant than C-terminal fragments in pancreatic, prostatic, and carcinoid tumors (N/C-teminal ratios, 4.0, 1.6, and 5.0) and in equal concentrations in normal ileum. Reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography revealed the presence of intact NT in addition to a variable number of smaller N-terminal peptides, presumed to be metabolites. In contrast the hepatoma contained a 5-fold excess of C-terminal immunoreactivity. The excess Cterminal immunoreactivity was also present in the circulation of this patient. The chromatographic properties, immunoreactivity, and unusual stability of the C-terminal fragment found in the hepatoma patient suggest that it is a substance distinct from NT itself and is released specifically by the fibrolamellar hepatoma.
