An Investigation of Capillary Flow Effect on Condensation Heat Transfer on a Grooved Plate (2006)

A simple model predicting the effect of capillary flows on the condensation heat transfer occurring on a vertical grooved plate is presented. The model includes the effect of capillary flows along the axial direction of the grooves and the direction from the apex to the cornered region of the groove. Numerical results indicated that the capillary flow induced by the capillary force significantly affects the condensation heat transfer, as does the plate height, groove width, and groove angle. In order to verify the theoretical prediction, an experimental investigation was conducted, and the theoretical prediction agrees well with the experimental data. Results of the investigation will assist in optimizing the condensation heat transfer performance in heat pipes.
X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis: A Chemoresistance Factor or a Hollow Promise (2010)

The X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) is the only cellular protein that has evolved to potently inhibit the enzymatic activity of mammalian caspases and promotes resistance to apoptosis. Given its role in apoptosis and its frequently elevated expression in malignant cells, XIAP has garnered the most attention as a promising therapeutic target in cancer to overcome drug resistance. Accordingly, XIAP is thought to render tumor cells resistant to chemotherapy through its ability to inhibit caspases, and it is on this basis that XIAP has been proposed as an important adverse biomarker for chemoresistance in cancer patients. Here, the current understanding of the role of XIAP in cancer is reviewed. Further, the notion is explored that the elevated XIAP expression frequently observed in malignant tissues is, at least, not exclusively responsible for the resistance of tumor cells to conventional therapeutic treatment; rather, the function of XIAP seems to be conducive to the process of malignant transformation and/or progression.

All‐digital image capture and whole‐field analysis of ciliary beat frequency (2003)

We hypothesized that a high-speed all-digital video imaging system, with computerized analysis, would precisely capture and measure ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and would shorten the time from data capture to data analysis. We compared a conventional analog video system with a new high-speed digital system we developed for CBF analysis. Using ciliated primary bovine bronchial epithelial cells we made simultaneous analog and digital CBF measurements of the same region of interest (ROI) while temperature was varied. This yielded nearly identical data over a wide range of frequencies (7-15 Hz) using either system. Unlike the digital system however, the analog system did not accurately detect CBF above 15 Hz (temperatures higher than 30 degrees C). We also compared ROI analysis with a new analysis algorithm we have named whole-field analysis (WFA). WFA measurement of CBF agreed with ROI and reduced operator time required to analyse data by more than 90% compared with the analog system. We conclude that all-digital computerized CBF analysis correlates closely with standard video methods, markedly speeds up data analysis and provides new ways, including WFA, to analyse entire fields of motile cilia simultaneously. We have termed this system 'Sisson-Ammons Video Analysis' (SAVA).

Channel estimation standard and adaptive blind equalization (1995)

Presents a novel concept of channel estimation standard (CES) and applies a new CES error criterion to the process of an adaptive blind equalization. It is shown that the establishment of the CES contributes to the development of a practical communication scheme for approaching to the capacity of a high SNR band-limited channel without using a preamble signal training.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Distortion Correction of OCT Images of the Crystalline Lens (2012)

The posterior surface of the crystalline lens and lens thickness can be accurately reconstructed from OCT images, with the accuracy improving with an accurate model of the GRIN distribution. The algorithm can be used to improve quantitative knowledge of the crystalline lens from OCT imaging in vivo. Although the improvements over other methods are modest in two dimension, it is expected that three-dimensional imaging will fully exploit the potential of the technique. The method will also benefit from increasing experimental data of GRIN distribution in the lens of larger populations.
The Effect of the Extracellular Domain of Human Copper Transporter (hCTR1) on Cisplatin Activation (2011)

Contractually binding: The methionine residues of the extracellular domain of hCTR1 (hCTR1_N) and its mutants were shown to be the key residues for cisplatin binding. hCTR1_N significantly facilitates the activation of the drug by the formation of Pt–thioether species. The anticancer drug is likely transported by hCTR1 through methionine-based sulfur–sulfur exchange (see picture).

Effect of magnetic yoke on magnetic field distribution and intercepting effect of multi-channel cascading magnet arrays (2010)

'Magnetic‐Sieve' possesses a potential use in oxygen separation. The effect of a magnetic yoke on magnetic field distribution and intercepting effect of multi‐channel cascading magnet arrays in a 'Magnetic‐Sieve' configuration is studied by ANSYS finite element software. The multi‐channel cascading magnet arrays consist of cuboid neodymium‐iron‐boron permanent magnets. The size of the magnets is W×H = 38 mm×5 mm, and the clearance between two adjacent magnets is 1 mm. The results show that the intercepting effect tends to decrease from the central channel to the most lateral channels in multi‐channel cascading magnet arrays. Compared with the simulation result of two magnets, the central magnetic inductions of the center channel and the most lateral channels in the multi‐channel cascading magnet array including 14 magnets decrease respectively 10% and 31%, and the intercepting effects of the center channel and the most lateral channels decrease 19% and 60%, respectively. When the magnetic yoke is added on the multi‐channel cascading magnet array, the above‐mentioned four values are increased by 28%, 29%, 63% and 65%, respectively. The simulation study shows that the introducing of magnetic yokes can enhance the central magnetic induction and the intercepting effect of the gradient magnetic field, and moreover, reduce the disparities of intercepting effect among the channels.

The robust control of PWM power amplifier by the approximate 2-degree-of-freedom digital integral-type control system (2002)

A robust PWM power amplifier whose transient response characteristics do not deteriorate against an extensive load change and/or direct-current power-supply voltage change is needed. In this paper, a method for designing a digital robust controller for PWM power amplifier which can satisfy such demands is proposed. First, a nominal model of PWM power amplifiers which consists of a PWM signal generating part, an electric power conversion part and an LC filter is derived from the linear approximation. The controlled objective is described by the discrete-time systems with consideration of the input dead time. It is shown that a digital controller can be designed in almost the same way as the previously proposed analog controller and then a 2-degree-of-freedom digital robust systems are constituted. The LC filter and the digital controller which satisfy the design specifications are determined by the proposed design method. A DSP is implemented for the digital controller obtained here. It is shown from an experiment that sufficiently robust digital control systems are realizable.
Multi-Stream Convolutional Neural Network for SAR Automatic Target Recognition (2018)

Despite the fact that automatic target recognition (ATR) in Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has been extensively researched due to its practical use in both military and civil applications, it remains an unsolved problem. The major challenges of ATR in SAR stem from severe data scarcity and great variation of SAR images. Recent work started to adopt convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which, however, remain unable to handle the aforementioned challenges due to their high dependency on large quantities of data. In this paper, we propose a novel deep convolutional learning architecture, called Multi-Stream CNN (MS-CNN), for ATR in SAR by leveraging SAR images from multiple views. Specifically, we deploy a multi-input architecture that fuses information from multiple views of the same target in different aspects; therefore, the elaborated multi-view design of MS-CNN enables it to make full use of limited SAR image data to improve recognition performance. We design a Fourier feature fusion framework derived from kernel approximation based on random Fourier features which allows us to unravel the highly nonlinear relationship between images and classes. More importantly, MS-CNN is qualified with the desired characteristic of easy and quick manoeuvrability in real SAR ATR scenarios, because it only needs to acquire real-time GPS information from airborne SAR to calculate aspect differences used for constructing testing samples. The effectiveness and generalization ability of MS-CNN have been demonstrated by extensive experiments under both the Standard Operating Condition (SOC) and Extended Operating Condition (EOC) on the MSTAR dataset. Experimental results have shown that our proposed MS-CNN can achieve high recognition rates and outperform other state-of-the-art ATR methods.
Identification of contextual factors for pronunciation networks (2002)

A data-intensive, semiautomatic method is presented for identifying subsets of contextual factors which are useful for predicting the allophonic realizations of dictionary phonemes. The method organizes contextual descriptions of phonological variation into context trees. Context trees are computed using a combination of decision tree induction for factor selection and hierarchical clustering for forming natural groups of factor values. How the resulting context trees can be used to provide allophones in creating pronunciation networks is described. A phoneme-level representation with a flexible context description is used. It allows modeling of effects extending across syllables and word boundaries.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Reflectance Confocal Microscopy for <i>In Vivo</i> Skin Imaging<sup>†</sup> (2008)

Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a novel noninvasive technique for "in vivo" examination of the skin. In a confocal microscope, near- infrared light from a diode laser is focused on a microscopic skin target. As this light passes between cellular structures having different refraction indexes, it is naturally reflected, and this reflected light is then captured and recomposed into a two-dimensional gray scale image by computer software. Focusing the microscope (adjusting the focal point on the z-axis) allows images to be obtained of different levels within the skin. Commercially available microscope systems of this type can create images with enough detail for use in histological analysis. The first investigations using these microscopes served to identify the appearance of the various cell populations living in the different layers of normal skin. Today, the main interest has become focused on the use of these microscopes as a diagnostic tool: a means of investigating benign and malignant tumors of melanocytes and keratinocytes, and, more importantly, the findings of this field of study can be used to develop a diagnostic algorithm which would be not only highly sensitive but specific as well. The aim of the paper is to provide an updated literature review and an in-depth critique of the state-of-the-art of RCM for skin cancer imaging with a critical discussion of the possibilities and limitations for clinical use.
2009 Knee Society Presidential Guest Lecture: Polyethylene Wear in Total Knees (2009)

Knee arthroplasties in young and active patients place a substantial increase in the lifetime tribological demand and potential for wear-induced osteolysis. Polyethylene materials have advanced in recent years, reducing the potential for oxidative degradation and delamination failure. It is timely to consider tribological design variables and their potential to reduce surface wear and the long-term risk of osteolysis. The influence of reduced cross shear in rotating platform mobile-bearing knee designs and reduced surface wear area in low conforming fixed-bearing knees has been investigated. A reduction in cross shear substantially reduced wear in both multidirectional pin-on-plate studies and in rotating platform mobile-bearing designs in knee simulator studies. A reduction in bearing surface contact area substantially reduced surface wear in multidirectional pin-on-plate simulations and in low conforming fixed-bearing knee designs in knee simulator studies. This offers potential for a paradigm shift in knee design predicated by enhanced mechanical properties of new polymer materials. We describe two distinct low-wearing tribological design solutions: (1) a rotating platform design solution with reduced cross shear provides reduced wear with conformity and intrinsic stability; and (2) a low conformity fixed bearing with reduced surface area, provides reduced wear, but has less intrinsic stability and requires good soft tissue function.
High power pulsed fiber laser development for Co2 space based dial system (2017)

High energy fiber lasers emitting around 1579nm is seen as a possible technology for the laser unit of a spaceborn CO<sub>2</sub> DIAL system. We are developing an all fiber system with the following expected performances: pulse energy of 260μJ, pulse duration 150ns, beam quality M<sup>2</sup> <2, pulse linewidth <60 MHz, laser stability 200 kHz. One of our main concerns has been the radiation induced attenuation mitigation. Various fiber compositions have been investigated.
Identification of a novel gene involved in pilin glycosylation in <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> (1998)

The pili of Neisseria meningitidis are a key virulence factor, being major adhesins of this capsulate organism that contribute to specificity for the human host. Recently it has been reported that meningococcal pili are post-translationally modified by the addition of an O-linked trisaccharide, Gal (beta1-4) Gal (alpha1-3) 2,4-diacetimido-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose. Using a set of random genomic sequences from N. meningitidis strain MC58, we have identified a novel gene homologous to a family of glycosyltransferases. A plasmid clone containing the gene was isolated from a genomic library of N. meningitidis strain MC58 and its nucleotide sequence determined. The clone contained a complete copy of the gene, here designated pglA (pilin glycosylation). Insertional mutations were constructed in pglA in a range of meningococcal strains with well-defined lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or pilin-linked glycan structures to determine whether pglA had a role in the biosynthesis of these molecules. There was no alteration in the phenotype of LPS from pglA mutant strains as judged by gel migration and the binding of monoclonal antibodies. In contrast, decreased gel migration of the pilin subunit molecules of pglA mutants was observed, which was similar to the migration of pilins of galE mutants of same strains, supporting the notion that pglA is a glycosyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of the pilin-linked trisaccharide structure. The pglA mutation, like the galE mutation reported previously, had no effect on pilus-mediated adhesion to human epithelial or endothelial cells. Pilin from pglA mutants were unable to bind to monospecific antisera recognizing the Gal (beta1-4) Gal structure, suggesting that PglA is a glycosyltransferase involved in the addition of galactose of the trisaccharide substituent of pilin.
Update on new aspects of the renin–angiotensin system in liver disease: clinical implications and new therapeutic options (2012)

The RAS (renin-angiotensin system) is now recognized as an important regulator of liver fibrosis and portal pressure. Liver injury stimulates the hepatic expression of components of the RAS, such as ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) and the AT(1) receptor [AngII (angiotensin II) type 1 receptor], which play an active role in promoting inflammation and deposition of extracellular matrix. In addition, the more recently recognized structural homologue of ACE, ACE2, is also up-regulated. ACE2 catalyses the conversion of AngII into Ang-(1-7) [angiotensin-(1-7)], and there is accumulating evidence that this 'alternative axis' of the RAS has anti-fibrotic, vasodilatory and anti-proliferative effects, thus counterbalancing the effects of AngII in the liver. The RAS is also emerging as an important contributor to the pathophysiology of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. Although the intrahepatic circulation in cirrhosis is hypercontractile in response to AngII, resulting in increased hepatic resistance, the splanchnic vasculature is hyporesponsive, promoting the development of the hyperdynamic circulation that characterizes portal hypertension. Both liver fibrosis and portal hypertension represent important therapeutic challenges for the clinician, and there is accumulating evidence that RAS blockade may be beneficial in these circumstances. The present review outlines new aspects of the RAS and explores its role in the pathogenesis and treatment of liver fibrosis and portal hypertension.
