Manuka Honey Reduces NETosis on an Electrospun Template Within a Therapeutic Window (2020)

Manuka honey, a topical wound treatment used to eradicate bacteria, resolve inflammation, and promote wound healing, is a focus in the tissue engineering community as a tissue template additive. However, its effect on neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis) on a tissue engineering template has yet to be examined. As NETosis has been implicated in chronic inflammation and fibrosis, the reduction in this response within the wound environment is of interest. In this study, Manuka honey was incorporated into electrospun templates with large (1.7-2.2 µm) and small (0.25-0.5 µm) diameter fibers at concentrations of 0.1%, 1%, and 10%. Template pore sizes and honey release profiles were quantified, and the effect on the NETosis response of seeded human neutrophils was examined through fluorescence imaging and myeloperoxidase (MPO) analysis. The incorporation of 0.1% and 1% Manuka honey decreased NETosis on the template surface at both 3 and 6 h, while 10% honey exacerbated the NETosis response. Additionally, 0.1% and 1% Manuka honey reduced the MMP-9 release of the neutrophils at both timepoints. These data indicate a therapeutic window for Manuka honey incorporation into tissue engineering templates for the reduction in NETosis. Future in vivo experimentation should be conducted to translate these results to a physiological wound environment.
The Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Turbulent Atmospheric Fluctuations (1954)

The statistical theory of turbulence is applied to the problem of density fluctuations in the troposphere and the ionosphere. For suitable wavelengths, for which the so-called similarity region (Kolmogoroff spectrum) of the spectrum of turbulence is relevant, a closed formula can be given for the scattering cross section. It contains as only parameter the turbulent power dissipation $S$,and its angular dependence is given by ${(sin\frac{1}{2}\ensuremath{\theta})}^{\frac{13}{3}}$, $\ensuremath{\theta}$ being the scattering angle. The values of $S$ required to explain ionospheric scattering are in excellent agreement with values found from investigations of meteor trails. Tropospheric data cannot be fitted with the assumptions of dry-air turbulence alone. The inference is that humidity fluctuations play an essential part in tropospheric scattering. A preliminary study of these latter fluctuations gives satisfactory results. Further investigations (and experimental data) are needed, however, to work out a quantitative theory.
Aerial mapping using high resolution digital camera and unmanned aerial vehicle for Geographical Information System (2010)

In aerial photogrammetry, aerial photographs are acquired using aerial camera and light aircraft as a platform. The aerial photographs are usually processed for mapping such as for production of topographic map and other special purpose map known as thematic map. However, this method is expensive and suitable for large area but it is not practical for mapping small area. This study concentrates on the use of high resolution digital camera and a very light platform known as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as data acquisition system in capturing digital aerial photographs. The acquired digital aerial photographs were processed using image processing software to produce digital map and digital orthophoto. The results showed that an accuracy of sub-meter can be obtained using the employed method. In Geographical Information System (GIS), it is quite common that topographic map and orthophoto are used as a base map. Hence, the findings from this study could also be used as an input for GIS. Not to forget, the photogrammetric technique could be used not only for mapping but it could also be used for any environmental protection and conservation.
APPROACHES FOR BAYESIAN VARIABLE SELECTION (1997)

Abstract: This paper describes and compares various hierarchical mixture prior formulations of variable selection uncertainty in normal linear regression models. These include the nonconjugate SSVS formulation of George and McCulloch (1993), as well as conjugate formulations which allow for analytical simplification. Hyperparameter settings which base selection on practical significance, and the implications of using mixtures with point priors are discussed. Computational methods for posterior evaluation and exploration are considered. Rapid updating methods are seen to provide feasible methods for exhaustive evaluation using Gray Code sequencing in moderately sized problems, and fast Markov Chain Monte Carlo exploration in large problems. Estimation of normalization constants is seen to provide improved posterior estimates of individual model probabilities and the total visited probability. Various procedures are illustrated on simulated sample problems and on a real problem concerning the construction of financial index tracking portfolios.
Use of the articulation index for assessing residual auditory function in listeners with sensorineural hearing impairment (1984)

Two experiments were performed to explore the feasibility of deriving an articulation index (AI) based scheme for quantifying residual auditory function in listeners with sensorineural hearing impairment. In the first experiment the AI procedure was applied to audiograms of normal and sensorineural hearing-impaired individuals in order to predict speech discrimination under various conditions. Good predictions were found for the normal and the less impaired subjects, but not for those with greater impairments. These subjects exhibited a disproportionate loss in speech discrimination compared to that predicted on the basis of the AI procedure. In the second experiment it was investigated whether the AI predictions for presbycusic individuals could be improved by making use of the proficiency factor that is not a function of frequency. The results indicate that the deficit in suprathreshold speech processing is frequency-specific and that, therefore, the proficiency factor is not independent of frequency. It assumes the value of 1 at those frequencies where hearing sensitivity is normal and is substantially reduced for frequencies where hearing threshold is elevated.
<title>Softcopy display requirements for digital mammography</title> (2002)

One of the advantages of digital mammography is to display mammograms on softcopy (electronic displays). Softcopy display of mammography is challenging because of the spatial and contrast resolution demands present in mammograms. We have designed and developed a softcopy mammography display application, Mammoview, which is capable of allowing radiologists to read mammograms as quickly and as accurately as they can on film alternators. We review the studies using Mammoview to elucidate the requirements of a successful softcopy display state. The design and development of the Mammoview softcopy display station are described. Results of several studies using Mammoview are reviewed, including subjective feedback from RSNA demonstrations, and clinical studies measuring performance in terms of speed and accuracy. Additional analysis of user interactions and user feedback is used to study the successes and shortcomings of mammography display stations like Mammoview.
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Ni–YSZ Anodes: Effect of Composition on Microstructure and Performance (2008)

Ni-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ (–yttria-stabilized zirconia) solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with varying Ni–YSZ active-layer compositions were compared electrochemically and structurally using a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope. Stereological analyses showed that the highest triple-phase boundary (TPB) density was at a Ni:YSZ volume ratio of . Although the electrode polarization resistance was minimized at the same composition as the TPB density maximum, the TPB density variation was too small to explain the observed variation in polarization resistance. This implies that polarization resistance was determined not only by TPB density, but also by other structural factors, such as phase tortuosity and contiguity.
Multiwavelength lidar for ozone measurements in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere (1990)

To study the ozone spatial and temporal evolution in the atmosphere, lidar systems have proved to be adequate but have remained complex. We define in this paper the main characteristics of a UVDIAL system for ground based and airborne ozone measurements in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere both for daytime and nighttime operation. A multiwavelength lidar system using either Rayleigh/Mie signals or the Raman nitrogen signal, is discussed as a way to efficiently correct the ozone measurements from the systematic bias due to aerosol and other interference gases (i.e. SO(2)) in the lower troposphere. Two types of lasers (solid state and excimer) are compared, as both lasers are suitable for long term field operation and airborne use.
Long noncoding RNA-mediated anti-apoptotic activity in murine erythroid terminal differentiation (2011)

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are differentially expressed under both normal and pathological conditions, implying that they may play important biological functions. Here we examined the expression of lncRNAs during erythropoiesis and identified an erythroid-specific lncRNA with anti-apoptotic activity. Inhibition of this lncRNA blocks erythroid differentiation and promotes apoptosis. Conversely, ectopic expression of this lncRNA can inhibit apoptosis in mouse erythroid cells. This lncRNA represses expression of Pycard, a proapoptotic gene, explaining in part the inhibition of programmed cell death. These findings reveal a novel layer of regulation of cell differentiation and apoptosis by a lncRNA.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Elastic Properties of Novel Tungsten Nitrides (2012)

Among transition metal nitrides, tungsten nitrides possess unique and/or superior chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Preparation of these nitrides, however, is challenging because the incorporation of nitrogen into tungsten lattice is thermodynamically unfavorable at atmospheric pressure. To date, most materials in the W–N system are in the form of thin films produced by nonequilibrium processes and are often poorly crystallized, which severely limits their use in diverse technological applications. Here we report synthesis of tungsten nitrides through new approaches involving solid-state ion exchange and nitrogen degassing under pressure. We unveil a number of novel nitrides including hexagonal and rhombohedral W2N3. The final products are phase-pure and well-crystallized in bulk forms. For hexagonal W2N3, hexagonal WN, and cubic W3N4, they exhibit elastic properties rivaling or even exceeding cubic-BN. All four nitrides are prepared at a moderate pressure of 5 GPa, the lowest among high-pressure synthesis of transition metal nitrides, making it practically feasible for massive and industrial-scale production.
Flex-N-Feel (2017)

Many couples live apart due to work, educational situations, or frequent travel. While technology can help mediate these relationships, there is a lack of designs that allow couples to share a sense of touch over distance. We present a design case study of a tangible communication system called Flex- N-Feel--a pair of gloves that allows distance-separated couples to feel the flexing of their remote partners' fingers through vibrotactile sensations on their skin. We evaluated our design with nine couples where the system was augmented with either a Skype audio call or a video connection. Our study showed that participants enjoyed their conversation more with the gloves, felt more emotionally connected, and experienced intimate moments together. Couples used the glove for shared actions, playful episodes, intimate touches, and to simply feel each other's presence. Video was important to aid couples in understanding each other's actions. Our results illustrate that designs focusing on physical touch over distance should be open to appropriation such that they can augment existing communication routines and technologies.

Cell cycle arrest induced by ectopic expression of p27 is not sufficient to promote oligodendrocyte differentiation (2000)

Oligodendrocyte differentiation is accompanied by dramatic changes in gene expression as well as cell cycle arrest. To determine whether cell cycle arrest is sufficient to induce the changes in cell phenotype associated with differentiation, we inhibited oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation in vitro by overexpressing p27, a cyclin kinase inhibitor, using a recombinant adenovirus. Ectopic expression of p27 efficiently inhibited oligodendrocyte precursor cell division, even in the presence of exogenous mitogens, by blocking the activity of the cyclin-dependent kinase, cdk2. Although the cells had stopped dividing, they did not express galactocerebroside (GalC) or myelin basic protein (MBP), changes associated with oligodendrocyte differentiation, suggesting that they had not differentiated. After removal of exogenous mitogens, however, adenovirus-expressing oligodendrocyte precursors differentiated with a temporal profile similar to that of control, uninfected oligodendrocytes, as indicated by expression of GalC and MBP. We conclude that cell cycle arrest is not sufficient to induce differentiation of dividing oligodendrocyte precursors, and that modulation of additional, as yet unknown, signaling pathways is required for this to occur.

The simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature distributions from Brillouin backscatter (1997)

The strain dependence of the optical power for Brillouin scattering in optical fibres has been measured for the fast time. Together with measurements of the dependence of Brillouin power on temperature and the variation of Brillouin frequency with temperature and strain we demonstrate viability far a simultaneous temperature and strain sensor based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering. We report the first simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensor based on this idea. The sensor achieves a 100 μɛ strain and 4°C temperature resolution, with 40 m spatial resolution, over a sensing length of 1200 m. (6 pages)

A Comparison of Murine and Human Immunoproteomes of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Validates the Preclinical Murine Infection Model for Antigen Screening (2002)

Preclinical mouse infection models are widely used for Helicobacter vaccine development, but how well such models mimic important aspects of human infections is unknown. A comparison of Helicobacter pylori immunoproteomes of infected mice with previously reported patient data reveals a high agreement in the antigens recognized, suggesting that H. pylori in vivo protein composition and recognition by the host immune system are comparable in mice and humans. Murine Helicobacter models may thus be valid to screen antigens for human vaccination.
LEARNED STEP SIZE QUANTIZATION (2020)

Deep networks run with low precision operations at inference time offer power and space advantages over high precision alternatives, but need to overcome the challenge of maintaining high accuracy as precision decreases. Here, we present a method for training such networks, Learned Step Size Quantization, that achieves the highest accuracy to date on the ImageNet dataset when using models, from a variety of architectures, with weights and activations quantized to 2-, 3- or 4-bits of precision, and that can train 3-bit models that reach full precision baseline accuracy. Our approach builds upon existing methods for learning weights in quantized networks by improving how the quantizer itself is configured. Specifically, we introduce a novel means to estimate and scale the task loss gradient at each weight and activation layer's quantizer step size, such that it can be learned in conjunction with other network parameters. This approach works using different levels of precision as needed for a given system and requires only a simple modification of existing training code.

The paper first introduce the cloud storage and its architecture, then use the cloud storage construct the traffic video detection system, in accordance with using cloud storage, traffic video detection storage resources are fine tuned and storage efficiency is greatly enhanced.
Design and Implementation of Three Different Methods for Announcing Exam Grades on the Web (2008)

After the emergence of modern technologies in the field of information technologies (IT), virtual learning has attained a new form. The way of announcing examspsila grades is an important topic in e-learning. For announcing examspsila grades on the Web, various methods have been proposed. In this paper, first some common methods for announcing studentspsila grades are reviewed, then three new methods which are named "virtual grade", "steganography grades", and "grade HIP" are introduced and the result of implementing these methods for announcing the grades of some courses at the some Iranian universities are provided. Also these methods and their results are analyzed. Finally these three new methods are compared with other methods.
An Active Power Control System for Wind Turbines Capable of Primary and Secondary Frequency Control for Supporting Grid Reliability (2013)

Wind energy is producing a larger share of power on many utility grids as more wind turbines are installed, providing motivation for wind turbines to provide ancillary services that are necessary for power grid reliability. The ancillary services considered in this paper consist of actively controlling the power output of the wind turbines to track power set-point commands, participate in frequency regulation, and provide frequency response. This paper focuses on the development of a wind turbine control system that is capable of varying the turbine’s active power output upon receiving de-rating power set-point commands, manual power commands, and automatic frequency regulation commands to meet the system operators’ needs in below-rated and above-rated wind speeds. The turbine is de-rated by operating at a higher than optimal tip speed ratio, storing additional inertia in the rotor, which can be used to assist in frequency regulation by providing a primary response to fluctuations in the grid frequency.
An Introduction to Hearing (2021)

Originally published in 1976, this introduction to hearing was intended to provide a sufficient introduction to each of several subareas of hearing so that the serious student can read the more advanced treatments with greater appreciation and understanding. It was intended for upper graduate and graduate students. It assumes some mathematical sophistication – calculus for example, but there is some review of more basic concepts, such as logarithms. There is also a brief treatment of the necessary material from the different disciplines – physics, physiology, psychology, anatomy and mathematics – that a student of hearing will need to know.
High Throughput Nanofabrication of Silicon Nanowire and Carbon Nanotube Tips on AFM Probes by Stencil-Deposited Catalysts (2011)

A new and versatile technique for the wafer scale nanofabrication of silicon nanowire (SiNW) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) tips on atomic force microscope (AFM) probes is presented. Catalyst material for the SiNW and MWNT growth was deposited on prefabricated AFM probes using aligned wafer scale nanostencil lithography. Individual vertical SiNWs were grown epitaxially by a catalytic vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process and MWNTs were grown by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor (PECVD) process on the AFM probes. The AFM probes were tested for imaging micrometers-deep trenches, where they demonstrated a significantly better performance than commercial high aspect ratio tips. Our method demonstrates a reliable and cost-efficient route toward wafer scale manufacturing of SiNW and MWNT AFM probes.
Multisurface method of pattern separation (1968)

Let two sets of patterns be represented by two finite point sets in an <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</tex> -dimensional Euclidean space <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">E^{n}</tex> . If the convex hulls of the two sets do not intersect, the sets can be strictly separated by a plane. Such a plane can be constructed by the Motzkin-Schoenberg error-correction procedure or by linear programming. More often than not, however, the convex hulls of the two point sets do intersect, in which case strict separation by a plane is not possible any more. One may then resort to separation by more than one plane. In this paper, we show how two sets can be strictly separated by one or more planes or surfaces (nonlinear manifolds) via linear programming. A computer program that implements the present method has been written and successfully tested on a number of real problems.
