Fabrication and analysis of three-dimensional object using layerwise manufacturing technology (2013)

Layerwise manufacturing technology exhibits a high potential in the field of rapid manufacturing, due to its capability to directly build up three-dimensional metallic components. In this research, we established a layerwise manufacturing platform having YLR 500 AC fiber laser and an enclosed chamber vacuumed and infused trace argon gas to minimize oxidation powdered material. From relationship of laser power and scanning speed can observe the variation of weld width. It assists to find the suitable laser parameters for laser additive manufacturing at blue region. The morphology of titanium specimen was analyzed by SEM image examined, and some porous structure formed due to the surface tension and oxide effect. The result of mechanical strength of 366.16 MPa was proved to be smaller than common bulk material. The X-ray diffraction patterns of titanium specimen has higher crystallization from R(110), R(101) and R(200). We have successfully fabrication a three-dimensional object and analysis its material properties.
Lantibiotic Immunity: Inhibition of Nisin Mediated Pore Formation by NisI (2014)

Nisin, a 3.4 kDa antimicrobial peptide produced by some Lactococcus lactis strains is the most prominent member of the lantibiotic family. Nisin can inhibit cell growth and penetrates the target Gram-positive bacterial membrane by binding to Lipid II, an essential cell wall synthesis precursor. The assembled nisin-Lipid II complex forms pores in the target membrane. To gain immunity against its own-produced nisin, Lactococcus lactis is expressing two immunity protein systems, NisI and NisFEG. Here, we show that the NisI expressing strain displays an IC50 of 73 ± 10 nM, an 8-10-fold increase when compared to the non-expressing sensitive strain. When the nisin concentration is raised above 70 nM, the cells expressing full-length NisI stop growing rather than being killed. NisI is inhibiting nisin mediated pore formation, even at nisin concentrations up to 1 µM. This effect is induced by the C-terminus of NisI that protects Lipid II. Its deletion showed pore formation again. The expression of NisI in combination with externally added nisin mediates an elongation of the chain length of the Lactococcus lactis cocci. While the sensitive strain cell-chains consist mainly of two cells, the NisI expressing cells display a length of up to 20 cells. Both results shed light on the immunity of lantibiotic producer strains, and their survival in high levels of their own lantibiotic in the habitat.

Early Experience with the Controlled Girth and Length Expanding Cylinder of the American Medical Systems Ultrex Penile Prosthesis (1992)

A prospective study was done to evaluate length expansion characteristics of the AMS Ultrex penile prosthesis cylinder intraoperatively and in the early postoperative period. A total of 50 patients 30 to 74 years old (mean age 55.2 years) underwent implantation of this device. Intraoperative changes in the pubis to mid glans distance between deflation and inflation ranged from 1 to 4 cm. (mean 1.9). Postoperative followup measurements were obtained in 46 patients at 1 to 15 months (mean 4). There was a 1 cm. decrease in the amount of postoperative length expansion for 6 patients, while length expansion increased by 1 cm. for 12 and for 28 the postoperative length expansion was the same as the intraoperative length expansion.
Use of Nasal Cannula for Detecting Sleep Apneas and Hypopneas in Infants and Children (2002)

We evaluated tolerance of nasal cannula (NC) by 14 infants (median age, 2.6 months) and 16 children (median age, 5.5 years) with suspected obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and compared the efficacy of the NC with that of a nasobuccal thermistor in detecting obstructive apneas (OA) and obstructive hypopneas (OH) on polysomnography traces. The relationship between cannula flow and esophageal pressure was assessed in six patients. Time spent with an uninterpretable flow signal was longer when using a cannula than when using a thermistor in infants (p < 0.05) and children (p < 0.01), and it was longer in the younger patients (p < 0.05). Among the 650 OA-OH detected by either method, only 38% were detected by both, and 58% were detected by the cannula and missed by the thermistor, so that the apnea-hypopnea index was higher with cannula than with thermistor in each age group (p < 0.01). More hypopneas than apneas were detected by the cannula and missed by the thermistor (p < 0.001). Out-of-phase thoracic and abdominal motions and/or changes in the end-tidal CO(2) signal shape were associated with 86% of OH identified by cannula. In the six patients whose esophageal pressure was measured, all respiratory events identified using a cannula were associated with increased "airway resistance." Thus, the NC is more likely than the thermistor to detect OA and OH in infants and children, and this superiority is particularly marked for hypopneas.
Literature review of theory and technology of air-core tubular linear induction motors [electromagnetic launcher applications] (2004)

In this paper, we review some major research results in air-core tubular linear induction motors theory and technology, based on open literature publications, which were obtained in the world over the last decades. One database analysis shows that coil launchers are covered in 68 of over 1000 electromagnetic launcher papers published. The research program includes studies of history, types, applications, theories and analysis, design, and power conditioning of coil launchers with emphasis on the traveling wave induction (linear induction launcher) one. In the theories and analysis section, a preview is given of the current sheet model, current filament model, finite element model, and wavelet transform. In the design section, local and global optimisation algorithms and design results are reviewed. In the final section, we review power conditioning of capacitor driven coilguns and generator driven coilguns, and concepts of magnetic flux compression for generating pulses required to efficiently drive the coil launchers and double-fed induction launchers.
Grammar-based SIP parser implementation with performance optimizations (2011)

In the paper we present a parser for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), a protocol that is a part of the 3GPP's IP Multimedia System (IMS) framework. The parser is generated by a specially designed parser generator that as an input takes an Augmented Backus Naur Form (ABNF) grammar. This type of grammar is commonly used for formal protocol syntax definitions and is used in the SIP standard. We describe in detail issues and solutions for creating parser generator that can handle ambiguous, nondeterministic grammars as the one of SIP. We show that the generated parser has performance levels comparable to widely available hand-written open-source parsers and is superior when it comes to compliance to formal SIP syntax definitions.
In-line monitoring test structure for Charge-Based Capacitance Measurement (CBCM) with a start-stop self-pulsing circuit (2015)

CBCM measurements require known clock frequency. We proposed CBCM test structures with an internal start-stop self-pulsing circuit instead of external clock monitoring. The circuit creates 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">13</sup> pulses in a time-slot defined by SMU pulsed signal, resulting in known clock frequency. We accurately extract MOSFET's gate capacitances of several tens of fF.
Face recognition using face-ARG matching (2005)

In this paper, we propose a novel line feature-based face recognition algorithm. A face is represented by the Face-ARG model, where all the geometric quantities and the structural information are encoded in an Attributed Relational Graph (ARG) structure, then the partial ARG matching is done for matching Face-ARG's. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is quite robust to various facial expression changes, varying illumination conditions and occlusion, even when a single sample per person is given.
Concentration-Independent pH Detection with a Luminescent Dimetallic Eu(III)-Based Probe (2012)

A pH-responsive, luminescent, dimetallic Eu(III)-containing complex has been synthesized and exhibits a unique mechanism of response. The luminescence-decay rate of the complex is slow, due to a lack of water molecules coordinated to the Eu(III) ions. However, the luminescence-decay rate decreases with increasing pH over a biologically relevant range of 4-8. Physical characterization and computational analysis suggest that the pH response is due to protonation of a bridging alkoxide at lower pH values. Modulation of the luminescence-decay rate is independent from the concentration of Eu(III), which we expect to be useful in the non-invasive imaging of in vivo pH.
Facile Construction and Divergent Transformation of Polycyclic Isoxazoles:  Direct Access to Polyketide Architectures (2003)

[reaction: see text] Base-promoted cyclocondensation of C-chloro oximes with cyclic 1,3-diketones affords functionalized isoxazoles in good yield and under convenient reaction conditions. This process enables the synthesis of highly substituted products with notable functional group tolerance. The products obtained are directly converted to a variety of polyketide-derived polycyclic structures including xanthenes, anthracenes, and benzophenones.
Bacterial-type DNA Holliday junction resolvases in eukaryotic viruses (2000)

Homologous DNA recombination promotes genetic diversity and the maintenance of genome integrity, yet no enzymes with specificity for the Holliday junction (HJ)-a key DNA recombination intermediate-have been purified and characterized from metazoa or their viruses. Here we identify critical structural elements of RuvC, a bacterial HJ resolvase, in uncharacterized open reading frames from poxviruses and an iridovirus. The putative vaccinia virus resolvase was expressed as a recombinant protein, affinity purified, and shown to specifically bind and cleave a synthetic HJ to yield nicked duplex molecules. Mutation of either of two conserved acidic amino acids abrogated the catalytic activity of the A22R protein without affecting HJ binding. The presence of bacterial-type enzymes in metazoan viruses raises evolutionary questions.
Regular expression patterns (2004)

We extend Haskell with regular expression patterns . Regular expression patterns provide means for matching and extracting data which goes well beyond ordinary pattern matching as found in Haskell. It has proven useful for string manipulation and for processing structured data such as XML. Regular expression patterns can be used with arbitrary lists, and work seamlessly together with ordinary pattern matching in Haskell. Our extension is lightweight, it is little more than syntactic sugar. We present a semantics and a type system, and show how to implement it as a preprocessor to Haskell.
Correlation between corneal epithelial cell outgrowth and monoclonal antibody binding to the cell binding domain of adsorbed fibronectin (1994)

The ability of corneal epithelial cells to attach, spread, and migrate on synthetic surfaces is largely determined by the characteristics of the adsorbed protein layer. In previous studies we have described an in vitro model for quantitating epithelial cell outgrowth from explanted corneal buttons onto synthetic materials (Pettit et al., Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci., 31, 2269 [1990]). We have also described the role of fibronectin (fn) adsorption and binding strength on epithelial cell outgrowth (Pettit et al., J. Biomed. Mater. Res., 26, 1259 [1992]). In the current study we have used a monoclonal antibody against the RGD cell binding domain of fn (mAb 3E3) to further characterize the role of adsorbed fn in promoting epithelial cell outgrowth. Ten materials of diverse chemical and physical properties were adsorbed with fn (0.1 mg/ml) or mixtures of fn and albumin (concentrations totaling 0.1 mg/ml) and tested for antibody recognition of the cell binding domain. The surface density of bound anti-cell binding domain antibody varied from a low of 0.66 +/- 0.11 for fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP) to a high of 1.90 +/- 0.26 for tissue culture polystyrene dish substrates (units are OD at 450 nm measured in the ELISA technique normalized to polyethylene). A general increase in cell outgrowth areas was noted, with increases in recognizable cell binding domain. However, several exceptions to this trend were noted as well (e.g., low cell outgrowth but high antibody recognizability for glass). These results suggest that, although the number of cell binding domains exposed on adsorbed fn molecules may influence cell outgrowth, other characteristics of the adsorbed protein, such as the binding strength to the underlying substrate, may be equally important in characterizing epithelial cell-substrate interactions.
Uveal Melanoma: A Study on Incidence of Additional Cancers in the Swedish Population (2005)

An increased risk of second primary cancers was observed among Swedish patients with uveal melanoma. Metastases from uveal melanoma were found to be misclassified as cutaneous melanoma or as primary liver cancer.
Vibriophages Differentially Influence Biofilm Formation by Vibrio anguillarum Strains (2015)

Vibrio anguillarum is an important pathogen in marine aquaculture, responsible for vibriosis. Bacteriophages can potentially be used to control bacterial pathogens; however, successful application of phages requires a detailed understanding of phage-host interactions under both free-living and surface-associated growth conditions. In this study, we explored in vitro phage-host interactions in two different strains of V. anguillarum (BA35 and PF430-3) during growth in microcolonies, biofilms, and free-living cells. Two vibriophages, ΦH20 (Siphoviridae) and KVP40 (Myoviridae), had completely different effects on the biofilm development. Addition of phage ΦH20 to strain BA35 showed efficient control of biofilm formation and density of free-living cells. The interactions between BA35 and ΦH20 were thus characterized by a strong phage control of the phage-sensitive population and subsequent selection for phage-resistant mutants. Addition of phage KVP40 to strain PF430-3 resulted in increased biofilm development, especially during the early stage. Subsequent experiments in liquid cultures showed that addition of phage KVP40 stimulated the aggregation of host cells, which protected the cells against phage infection. By the formation of biofilms, strain PF430-3 created spatial refuges that protected the host from phage infection and allowed coexistence between phage-sensitive cells and lytic phage KVP40. Together, the results demonstrate highly variable phage protection mechanisms in two closely related V. anguillarum strains, thus emphasizing the challenges of using phages to control vibriosis in aquaculture and adding to the complex roles of phages as drivers of prokaryotic diversity and population dynamics.

A parallel algorithm to power systems state estimation (2002)

In this paper, the authors develop a theoretically robust and computationally efficient state estimator algorithm, to solve the WLS problem by using parallel processing. Technical developments in distributed energy management systems (EMS), based on fast data communication networks, open up the possibility of parallel processing in the state estimation algorithms. They have analysed the computational aspects of parallel processing. Moreover, they have simulated this state estimator parallel algorithm in the IEEE 30, 57 and 118 bus systems. The numerical accuracy of the simulation demonstrates the excellent computational performance of the parallel algorithm. Results of computational experiments are compared with standard WLS methods, in the integral and distributed version. An evaluation of the degree of natural decoupling in the state estimation problem is also performed. The results of computational experiments indicate that distributed processing for state estimation, is a better way to adopt parallel computing in power systems.

Reduction of carbon content in waste-tire combustion ashes by bio-thermal treatment (2009)

Application of bio-catalyst (NOE-7F) in thermal treatment can adequately dispose dark-black fly ashes from co-combustion of both waste tires and coal. After thermal treatment of fly ashes by adding 10% NOE-7F, the carbon contents reduced by 37.6% and the weight losses increased by 405%, compared with the fly ashes without mixing with NOE-7F. The combustion behaviors of wasted tires combustion fly ashes with NOE-7F were also investigated by both thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The results verify that NOE-7F has positive effects on the combustion of residual carbon and toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) enhance the energy release and reduce the toxicity during the process of thermal treatment. Furthermore, using NOE-7F to dispose high-carbon content fly ashes did improve the compressive strength of fly ashes and concrete mixtures. Therefore, NOE-7F is a promising additive which could decrease treatment cost of high-carbon content fly ashes and reduce the amount of survival toxic PAHs.
Temperature controlled radiofrequency ablation. (2002)

Monitoring catheter tip temperature and closed loop control of power output are useful to avoid excessive heating at the tissue surface, that may result in coagulum formation, and to accomplish effective heating at the target area. However, the catheter tip temperature is affected by cooling effects and electrode-tissue contact and thus poorly correlated to lesion size. New means should be developed to assess tissue temperatures during radiofrequency delivery to achieve predictable and reproducible lesions.
Tumor Detection Using Microwave Enhanced Thermography and Computer Aided Image Analysis (2005)

Thermography is an alternative to X-Ray mammography for tumor detection. Sensitivity of thermography is increased by application of low level microwave energy. Data obtained using guinea pig and rat implantable tumors is presented. Computer aided analysis techniques of the data is discussed.
Uncertainty relations and minimum uncertainty states for the discrete Fourier transform and the Fourier series (2003)

The conventional Fourier transform has a well-known uncertainty relation that is defined in terms of the first and second moments of both a function and its Fourier transform. It is also well known that Gaussian functions, when translated to an arbitrary centre and supplemented by a linear phase factor, provide a complete set of minimum uncertainty states (MUSs) that exactly achieves the lower bound set by this uncertainty relation. A similarly general set of MUSs and uncertainty relations are derived here for discrete and/or periodic generalizations of the Fourier transform, namely for the discrete Fourier transform and the Fourier series. These extensions require a modified definition for the width of a periodic distribution, and they lead to more complex uncertainty relations that turn out to depend on the centroid location and mean frequency of the distribution. The derivations lead to novel generalizations of Hermite–Gaussian functions and, like Gaussians, the MUSs can play a special role in a range of Fourier applications.
First ICN Adduct with a Selenium Donor (R = Se): Is It an Ionic [RSeCN]<sup>+</sup>I<sup>−</sup> or a “T‐Shaped” R(I)SeCN Hypervalent Compound? (2004)

Abstract The reaction between 1,3‐dimethyl‐4‐imidazoline‐2‐selone ( 2 ) and ICN gave the adduct 2· ICN, whose crystal structure features dimers made up of two [ 2· CN] + and two I − which strongly interact. Hybrid DFT calculations on the adduct 2· ICN, on the cation [ 2· CN] + , and on the dimer ( 2· ICN) 2 account for a partially hypervalent selenium atom in 2· ICN and for the observed structural features.

Rhizosphere competence of Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926 and Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513 involved in the suppression of chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) pathogenic fungi (2006)

In order to obtain chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) rhizosphere-competent bacteria, 256 bacterial strains, representing different morphological types, were screened for their biocontrol activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri, Rhizoctonia bataticola and Pythium sp. under in vitro conditions. Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926 and Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513 were selected for further work because of their unique ability to inhibit all three fungi. Spontaneous rifampicin-resistant (Rifr) derivatives of Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926 and Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513 showing a growth rate and membrane protein composition comparable to the wild-type were selected to elucidate their rhizosphere competence on chickpea. Both strains showed no difference to their corresponding wild-type strains in terms of chickpea rhizosphere competence. However, when Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926P3 was mixed in an equal or lower ratio with Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513R7, both in sterile soil and non-sterile soil assays, Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513R7 consistently failed to achieve titres similar to Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926P3. These results suggest that antibiotic resistance-marked strains should be compared with wild-type parents before being used as monitors of parental strain survival. Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926P3 was a better chickpea rhizosphere coloniser compared to Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513R7. Greenhouse results demonstrated a superior biocontrol potential of Pseudomonas sp. NBRI9926P3 to control F.oxysporum f.sp. ciceri, R. bataticola and Pythium sp. compared to Rhizobium sp. NBRI9513R7. The screening method should prove useful in identifying rhizosphere bacteria with the greatest potential for controlling diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi.
