Solvent Effect on the Structure of the Self-Assembled Monolayer of Alkanethiol (1999)

Abstract Structures of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of decanethiol on Au(111) surface prepared in ethanol, toluene, DMF and heptane solution were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and electrochemical reductive desorption measurement in 0.5 M KOH aqueous solution. While no significant difference was detected in the reductive desorption measurement except for the SAM prepared in heptane, the STM observation showed that domain size and pit size were strongly affected by solvent.
Building robust prediction models for defective sensor data using Artificial Neural Networks (2018)

Predicting the health of components in complex dynamic systems such as an automobile poses numerous challenges. The primary aim of such predictive systems is to use the high-dimensional data acquired from different sensors and predict the state-of-health of a particular component, e.g., brake pad. The classical approach involves selecting a smaller set of relevant sensor signals using feature selection and using them to train a machine learning algorithm. However, this fails to address two prominent problems: (1) sensors are susceptible to failure when exposed to extreme conditions over a long periods of time; (2) sensors are electrical devices that can be affected by noise or electrical interference. Using the failed and noisy sensor signals as inputs largely reduce the prediction accuracy. To tackle this problem, it is advantageous to use the information from all sensor signals, so that the failure of one sensor can be compensated by another. In this work, we propose an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based framework to exploit the information from a large number of signals. Secondly, our framework introduces a data augmentation approach to perform accurate predictions in spite of noisy signals. The plausibility of our framework is validated on real life industrial application from Robert Bosch GmbH.
Linear Relationship of the Rate of Isobutene Formation from CO and H2 on ZrO2 to the Monoclinic Phase Fraction (1999)

Abstract The rate of formation of isobutene from CO and H2 over ZrO2 is proportional to the volume fraction of the monoclinic phase. The active site was explained by both vacant site and stronger bascity due to the shorter Zr–O bond in the monoclinic structure.
Treg engage lymphotoxin beta receptor for afferent lymphatic transendothelial migration (2016)

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential to suppress unwanted immunity or inflammation. After islet allo-transplant Tregs must migrate from blood to allograft, then via afferent lymphatics to draining LN to protect allografts. Here we show that Tregs but not non-Treg T cells use lymphotoxin (LT) during migration from allograft to draining LN, and that LT deficiency or blockade prevents normal migration and allograft protection. Treg LTαβ rapidly modulates cytoskeletal and membrane structure of lymphatic endothelial cells; dependent on VCAM-1 and non-canonical NFκB signalling via LTβR. These results demonstrate a form of T-cell migration used only by Treg in tissues that serves an important role in their suppressive function and is a unique therapeutic focus for modulating suppression.
An Empirical Analysis of the Critical Factors in the Development of Computerizing Manufacturing Systems: A Comparative Survey (2000)

This research constitutes an important international comparison of computer technology support for production management (CTSPM) in Taiwan and the UK, one of the emerging ”little dragons” from East Asia and manufacturers in the developed Western economy. The research design used both qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques to introduce and examine a model of best practice in the CTSPM systems, by drawing on the practical experience of senior managers of production and MIS in Taiwan and the UK. Two steps of fieldwork were undertaken. An investigation survey began with literature and involved exploratory fieldwork into visit Taiwanese organizations. The result developed model of CTSPM implementation and integration, and used to design a questionnaire to survey the development of CTSPM, and toexamine and refine the model of CTSPM in both Taiwan and the UK manufacturing companies. Taiwanese manufacturers had much less experience of CTSPM than UK counterparts, they appeared to be prepared to develop integrated CTSPM solutions more rapidly than in the UK. However, UK managers recognized the barriers, facilitators, and benefits of CTSPM relevant to the Taiwanese context. UK manufacturers had largely taken the more important steps toward systems' integration, although substantial proportions of managers mentioned that they were still at the planning stage in many areas. In Taiwan, it was largely the case that plans were in place to take facilitating and benefiting actions. The results suggest that Taiwanese manufacturers have learned to integrated systems and organizational as they have gained experience with CTSPM. Both countries appeared to be moving toward similar systems design.
Dental stain prevention by abrasive toothpastes : A new in vitro test and its correlation with clinical observations (1998)

A new in vitro test based on the removal of a model film from polished hydroxyapatite discs has been developed to predict more precisely the stain prevention properties of toothpastes in vivo. It is argued that dental stain prevention, as opposed to removal, is the predominant function provided by abrasive pastes suitable for unrestricted home use. It is necessary, therefore, to focus on abrasive systems capable of efficient removal of the relatively soft and invisible up-to-24-hour-old salivary pellicle formed between brushings, rather than on hamer visible mature stain. A cleaning model of this film has therefore been developed. The abrasive effect on the model film of a typical silica xerogel has been examined, and the data compared with clinical observation of stain build-up. A good correlation was apparent. Stain prevention increased dramatically from zero to 4% w/w silica, after which higher levels had little or no beneficial effect, despite a continuing increase in potential dentine damage.

Demonstrational interfaces: A step beyond direct manipulation (1992)

Demonstrational interfaces, interfaces that let the user perform actions on concrete example objects while constructing an abstract program, thus letting the user create parameterized procedures and objects without learning a programming language, are discussed. The motivations for and problems associated with demonstrational interfaces are presented. A survey of the various types of interfaces is also presented. Areas that would benefit from demonstrational technology, including general-purpose programming, visualization, macros for direct-manipulation interfaces, drawing packages, text editing and formatting, and user interface development environments, are discussed. Research issues involving demonstrational interfaces are reviewed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Kupferfreie Azid‐Alkin‐Cycloadditionen: Erkenntnisse und Perspektiven (2008)

Es macht auch ohne Kupfer Klick: Cu-katalysierte Azid-Alkin-Klick-Cycloadditionen (CuAACs) spielen in der gegenwärtigen Synthesechemie eine zentrale Rolle, sie beruhen aber auf Übergangsmetallkatalysatoren, die ihren Einsatz in einigen biologischen Anwendungen einschränken. Die durch Ringspannung begünstigte, fluoraktivierte Cycloaddition von Cyclooctinen und organischen Aziden (siehe Schema) ist eine interessante, metallfreie Alternative zu CuAACs.
[Antidepressives of the 3rd, 4th and 5th generation]. (1994)

Antidepressants are classified into five generations. Preparations of the first generation affect various neurotransmitter systems and are therefore associated with many undesirable effects (e.g. tricyclic antidepressants, maprotiline). The second generation of antidepressants is already devoid of anticholinergic action and their adrenolytic and antihistaminic effects are weaker (e.g. mianserine, mirtazapine, trazodone). The antidepressant action of preparations of the third generation is mediated only by one of the three main neurotransmitter systems for depression (5-HT, noradrenaline, dopamine) and does not affect muscarine, histamine and adrenergic cerebral systems (e.g. SSRI, ipsapirone, viloxazine, reboxetine, bupropione). Recently antidepressants of the fourth generation were synthetized which influence only the serotonin, and noradrenaline or dopamine system (e.g. milnacipran, befloxatone). The fifth generation of antidepressants foresees the exclusive action on 5-HT, noradrenaline and dopamine systems of the CNS in varying ratios (e.g. venlafaxine, cericlamine).
Measuring water quality and predicting well impairment (1971)

The performance of a waterflood or a water disposal project can be significantly affected by suspended solids in the injection water. Provided the rate of impairment can be predicted, the amount of water treating needed for a project can be decided on the basis of economics. This study develops methods and theory which can be used to interpret water quality data obtained with membrane filters or cores and to predict well impairment from suspended solids. Two new concepts are introduced: (1) the water quality ratio, which can be calculated from filtration data; and (2) the injection well half-life, which is a measure of the rate of impairment and can be calculated from the water quality ratio.
The effects of increased acetate turnover on glucose-induced insulin secretion in lean and obese humans (2019)

Rates of endogenous acetate turnover are ∼30% higher in the lean subjects compared to the obese subjects, and increasing plasma acetate turnover does not promote increased GSIS or ghrelin secretion in either group.
Disposition of captopril in normal subjects (1980)

The disposition of captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor with antihypertensive properties, was studied in 10 normal male subjects after a single 100-mg tablet of 35S-labeled drug. Average absorption parameters for unchanged captopril in blood were Tmax 0.93 +/- 0.08 hr and Cmax 800 +/- 76 ng/ml. For total radioactivity in blood the values were Tmax 1.05 +/- 0.08 hr and Cmax 1,580 +/- 90 ng/ml (as captopril equivalents). Because of the curvilinearity of the semilogarithmic plots of blood concentrations of captopril:time, elimination half-life (t1/2) of unchanged drug could not be determined. At 1 hr unchanged captopril accounted for about 52% of total radioactivity in blood, and the dimeric disulfide metabolite of captopril accounted for about 10%. In the first 5 days after dosing, an average of about 68% of the radioactive dose was recovered in urine and 18% in feces. The distribution of radioactivity in the first 24-hr urine sample (66% of the dose) was 58% captopril (38% of dose), 2% captopril disulfide (1.5% of dose), and 40% unidentified polar metabolites (26% of dose).
The AtSUC5 sucrose transporter specifically expressed in the endosperm is involved in early seed development in Arabidopsis (2005)

The sucrose transporter gene AtSUC5 was studied as part of a programme aimed at identifying and studying the genes involved in seed maturation in Arabidopsis. Expression profiling of AtSUC5 using the technique of real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that the gene was specifically and highly induced during seed development between 4 and 9 days after flowering (DAF). Analysis of the activity of the AtSUC5 promoter in planta was consistent with this timing, and suggested that AtSUC5 expression is endosperm specific, spreading from the micropylar to the chalazal pole of the filial tissue. To demonstrate the function of AtSUC5, the corresponding cDNA was used to complement a sucrose uptake-deficient yeast mutant, thus confirming its sucrose transport capacity. To investigate the function in planta, three allelic mutants disrupted in the AtSUC5 gene were isolated and characterized. A strong but transient reduction in fatty acid concentration was observed in mutant seeds 8 DAF. This biochemical phenotype was associated with a slight delay in embryo development. Taken together, these data demonstrated the role of the AtSUC5 carrier in the nutrition of the filial tissues during early seed development. However, additional sugar uptake systems, which remain to be characterized, must be functional in developing seeds, especially during maturation of the embryo.
Research and Implementation on Remote Disaster Recovery System (2012)

Most of the current disaster recovery solutions need to rely on expensive commercial disaster recovery software and hardware. In order to reduce the cost of disaster recovery, a fully featured, affordable disaster recovery solution and an offsite disaster recovery system RDRS (Remote Disaster Recovery System) are putted forward in this paper. Based on existing technologies, such as DFS, database mirroring and IP address drifting, the RDRS is completed without introducing expensive commercial disaster recovery software and hard-ware. Tentative results show that, facing varieties of failures, this solution and the RDRS can effectively conduct disaster recovery. In General, this solution and system are fully able to meet the requirements for most disaster recovery project plan, low-cost and strong-security.
Humanism (2001)

Abstract Ideas about war and peace which were current in late sixteenth-century Europe fell into two sharply differentiated traditions: the ‘humanist’ and the ‘scholastic’. This chapter deals with the humanist theories about war. It describes the extraordinarily brutal ideas about war which are to be found in Alberico Gentili's De Iure Belli, and shows how they corresponded to the views of the Roman writers about warfare. One of the most important topics of the debate between the humanists and the theologians is the issue of the pre-emptive strike. Meanwhile, the idea that a state is entitled to seek glory and imperial power in order to protect itself from its rivals raises immediately the question of whether another state is similarly entitled.
Cloning and location of the dgsA gene of Escherichia coli (1985)

The dgsA locus of Escherichia coli was isolated on plasmids obtained from the library of L. Clarke and J. Carbon (Cell 9:91-99, 1976). Restriction fragment analysis and further subcloning demonstrated that the gene is located at kilobase 425 on the Bouché physical map of the terminus region (J. P. Bouché, J. Mol. Biol., 154:1-20, 1982). This corresponds to 35.2 min on the Bachmann genetic map (B. J. Bachmann, Microbiol. Rev. 47:180-230, 1983).
Remote probing of the atmosphere using a CO&lt;inf&gt;2&lt;/inf&gt;DIAL system (1981)

Using both fundamental and frequency-doubled CO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> laser radiation in a differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL) system, background concentrations of CO, NO, and C <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> in the atmosphere as well as increases due to localized emission sources have been measured. These species have been detected using the backscattered laser radiation from topographic targets at ranges to 2.7 km with a sensitivity of ± 10 ppb. In addition, using a dual-laser DIAL system, the effect of induced correlation of the LIDAR returns due to atmospheric turbulence has been investigated. These results have been used to help quantify the accuracy of the DIAL measurements and are shown to be consistent with theory.

Dynamic authentication for consumer supplies in mobile cloud environment (2012)

The objective of the work is to propose a dynamic authentication system for consumer supplies using Quick Response (QR) code in a Mobile Cloud Computing environment. In recent years, extensive research has been carried out on vision-based automatic identification technology that recognizes image codes using smart phones to provide various services that can recognize the authenticity of any product. Standard image codes like one-dimensional barcodes and two-dimensional codes with black and white patterns identifies a product for its value and basic features but does not authenticate it, moreover not every product that is identified, is used for authenticating manufacturer's warranty. So a novel method of using QR code verifies products by capturing it through the smart phone, then decodes and sends it to the cloud for authentication. The web server forwards the message to product manufacturer's data center and the response received from the cloud enables the consumer to decide based on the products authenticity. The proposed software architecture uses the Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) to provide Software as a Services (SaaS) model deployed in a public cloud set up of Google App Engine.
Anatomy of Immorality In Public Service (1959)

The study of the Pulahan Movement in Samar and Leyte is an attempt to show the origin and the social dynamics of that movement. The writer, who had already undertaken some folklore research in Samar  and Leyte, was approached by Dr. E. Quema Sumulong, Director of the National Museum in 1957, to shed some light on this movement. As with so many aspects of Philippine history, monographs on this matter are few - one of the reasons why it is difficult to write a food Philippine history.
A Broadband Folded Printed Quadrifilar Helical Antenna Employing a Novel Compact Planar Feeding Circuit (2010)

A broadband printed quadrifilar helical antenna employing a novel compact feeding circuit is proposed in this paper. This antenna presents an excellent axial ratio over a wide beamwidth, with a 29% bandwidth. A specific feeding circuit based on an aperture-coupled transition and including two 90° surface mount hybrids has been designed to be integrated with the quadrifilar antenna. Over the bandwidth, the measured reflection coefficient of the antenna fed by the wideband compact circuit has been found to be equal to or lower than -12 dB and the maximum gain varies between 1.5 and 2.7 dBic from 1.18 to 1.58 GHz. The half-power beamwidth is 150°, with an axial ratio below 3 dB over this range. The compactness of the feeding circuit allows small element spacing in array arrangements.
Structural characterization of human aryl sulphotransferases (1999)

Human aryl sulphotransferase (HAST) 1, HAST3, HAST4 and HAST4v share greater than 90% sequence identity, but vary markedly in their ability to catalyse the sulphonation of dopamine and p-nitrophenol. In order to investigate the amino acid(s) involved in determining differing substrate specificities of HASTs, a range of chimaeric HAST proteins were constructed. Analysis of chimaeric substrate specificities showed that enzyme affinities are mainly determined within the N-terminal end of each HAST protein, which includes two regions of high sequence divergence, termed Regions A (amino acids 44-107) and B (amino acids 132-164). To investigate the substrate-binding sites of HASTs further, site-directed mutagenesis was performed on HAST1 to change 13 individual residues within these two regions to the HAST3 equivalent. A single amino acid change in HAST1 (A146E) was able to change the specificity for p-nitrophenol to that of HAST3. The substrate specificity of HAST1 towards dopamine could not be converted into that of HAST3 with a single amino acid change. However, compared with wild-type HAST1, a number of the mutations resulted in interference with substrate binding, as shown by elevated Ki values towards the co-substrate 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulphate, and in some cases loss of activity towards dopamine. These findings suggest that a co-ordinated change of multiple amino acids in HAST proteins is needed to alter the substrate specificities of these enzymes towards dopamine, whereas a single amino acid at position 146 determines p-nitrophenol affinity. A HAST1 mutant was constructed to express a protein with four amino acids deleted (P87-P90). These amino acids were hypothesized to correspond to a loop region in close proximity to the substrate-binding pocket. Interestingly, the protein showed substrate specificities more similar to wild-type HAST3 than HAST1 and indicates an important role of these amino acids in substrate binding.
