A flexible architecture integrating monitoring and analytics for managing large-scale data centers (2011)

To effectively manage large-scale data centers and utility clouds, operators must understand current system and application behaviors. This requires continuous, real-time monitoring along with on-line analysis of the data captured by the monitoring system, i.e., integrated monitoring and analytics -- Monalytics [28]. A key challenge with such integration is to balance the costs incurred and associated delays, against the benefits attained from identifying and reacting to, in a timely fashion, undesirable or non-performing system states. This paper presents a novel, flexible architecture for Monalytics in which such trade-offs are easily made by dynamically constructing software overlays called Distributed Computation Graphs (DCGs) to implement desired analytics functions. The prototype of Monalytics implementing this flexible architecture is evaluated with motivating use cases in small scale data center experiments, and a series of analytical models is used to understand the above trade-offs at large scales. Results show that the approach provides the flexibility needed to meet the demands of autonomic management at large scale with considerably better performance/cost than traditional and brute force solutions.

Biodiversity of fungal endophyte communities inhabiting switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) growing in the native tallgrass prairie of northern Oklahoma (2010)

This study was conducted to explore fungal endophyte communities inhabiting native switchgrass plants from the tallgrass prairie of northern Oklahoma. The primary focus was to isolate these endophytes in pure culture from surface-sterilized plant tissues and provide taxonomic identifications based on comparative analysis of ITS rDNA gene sequences. From these data, we evaluated the biodiversity of these potentially beneficial endosymbionts from this rapidly disappearing habitat of the Great Plains. While important from a strictly conservationist standpoint, this survey further allowed us to identify candidate endophytes for introduction into commercial switchgrass cultivars for biomass enhancement. A total of 210 whole plant samples were collected at early vegetative, full reproductive and senescence stages. Fungal endophytes were isolated, identified to species level when possible, and grouped into communities based on plant part, collection month and part of the prairie from which the plants were collected. Species diversity for each community was estimated by Shannon diversity index, and differences in diversity indices were compared using a t-test. The presence of fungal species representing at least 18 taxonomic orders suggests a high level of diversity in switchgrass endophyte communities. The fungal communities from shoot tissue had significantly higher species diversity than communities from the root tissue. The abundance of taxa assigned to the order Hypocreales (to which mutualistic, clavicipitaceous endophytes of cool-season grasses belong) found in shoot (64%) and root tissues (39%) throughout the growing season suggests great potential for utilizing these endophytes for enhancing biomass production and stress resistance of this important bioenergy crop.

Coupling between oxygen redox and cation migration explains unusual electrochemistry in lithium-rich layered oxides (2017)

Lithium-rich layered transition metal oxide positive electrodes offer access to anion redox at high potentials, thereby promising high energy densities for lithium-ion batteries. However, anion redox is also associated with several unfavorable electrochemical properties, such as open-circuit voltage hysteresis. Here we reveal that in Li<sub>1.17-x</sub> Ni<sub>0.21</sub>Co<sub>0.08</sub>Mn<sub>0.54</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, these properties arise from a strong coupling between anion redox and cation migration. We combine various X-ray spectroscopic, microscopic, and structural probes to show that partially reversible transition metal migration decreases the potential of the bulk oxygen redox couple by > 1 V, leading to a reordering in the anionic and cationic redox potentials during cycling. First principles calculations show that this is due to the drastic change in the local oxygen coordination environments associated with the transition metal migration. We propose that this mechanism is involved in stabilizing the oxygen redox couple, which we observe spectroscopically to persist for 500 charge/discharge cycles.
Novel Radiotracers for Imaging the Serotonin Transporter by Positron Emission Tomography:  Synthesis, Radiosynthesis, and in Vitro and ex Vivo Evaluation of <sup>11</sup>C-Labeled 2-(Phenylthio)araalkylamines (2000)

A series of four 2-(phenylthio)araalkylamines have been radiolabeled with (11)C and evaluated as potential radiotracers for imaging the serotonin transporter (SERT) by positron emission tomography (PET). All four candidates display high affinity for SERT and low affinity for the dopamine or norepinephrine transporters using in vitro binding assays. Biodistribution studies in rats demonstrated that tail-vein injection of the (11)C-labeled radiotracers resulted in high brain uptake of radioactivity with a preferential distribution in brain regions known to be rich in SERT such as hypothalamus and thalamus. The most promising candidate, 16, had hypothalamus-to-cerebellum ratios of 9:1, 1 h postinjection, an indication of high specific to nonspecific binding. Ex vivo pharmacological studies demonstrated that uptake in SERT-rich brain regions was both saturable and selective for SERT. Two of the tested radiotracers, 15 and 16, have highly favorable properties for imaging SERT and will be used in pilot human PET imaging studies.
The regulatory role of leptin in food intake (1998)

This review discusses recent work that has focused on the interaction of leptin with various neuroendocrine pathways in the brain and in the periphery to affect food intake. Additional consideration is directed towards emerging studies with antibodies and receptor antagonists that show leptin has a physiologically important role in the control of food intake.
Analysis of fully developed turbulent heat transfer and flow in an annulus with various eccentricities (1955)

From Introduction: "Most of the existing analyses for turbulent flow and heat transfer in passages have been confined to circular tubes or parallel plates (refs. 1 to 5). In reference 6, temperature distributions for rectangular and triangular ducts were calculated by using experimental velocity distributions and average heat-transfer coefficients. Some work on the calculation of the velocity and shear-stress distributions in corners is reported in reference 7."
Cation Gating and Relocation during the Highly Selective “Trapdoor” Adsorption of CO<sub>2</sub> on Univalent Cation Forms of Zeolite Rho (2014)

Adsorption of CO2 and CH4 has been measured on the Na-, K-, and Cs-forms of zeolite Rho (0 9 bar; 283 333 K). Although CH4 is excluded, CO2 is readily taken up, although the uptake at low pressures decreases strongly, in the order Na+ > K+ > Cs+. Structural studies by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) suggest that cations in intercage window sites block CH4 adsorption; however, in the presence of CO2, the cations can move enough to permit adsorption (several angstroms). Determination of time-averaged cation positions during CO2 adsorption at 298 K by Rietveld refinement against PXRD data shows that (i) in Na-Rho, there is a small relaxation of Na+ cations within single eight-ring (S8R) sites, (ii) in Cs-Rho, D8R cations move to S8R sites (remaining within windows) and two phases of Cs-Rho (I4&#773;3m, Im3&#773;m) are present over a wide pressure range, and (iii) in K-Rho, there is relocation of some K+ cations from window sites to cage sites and two phases coexist, each with I4&#773;3m symmetry, over the pressure range of 0 1 bar. The final cation distributions at high PCO2 are similar for Na-, K-, and Cs-Rho, and adsorption in each case is only possible by trapdoor -type cation gating. Complementary studies on K-chabazite (Si/Al = 3) also show changes in time-averaged cation location during CO2 adsorption.
Capillary-Assembled Microchip for Universal Integration of Various Chemical Functions onto a Single Microfluidic Device (2004)

A novel concept for assembling various chemical functions onto a single microfluidic device is proposed. The concept, called a capillary-assembled microchip, involves embedding chemically functionalized capillaries into a lattice microchannel network fabricated on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). The network has the same channel dimensions as the outer dimensions of the capillaries. In this paper, we focus on square capillaries to be embedded into a PDMS microchannel network having a square cross section. The combination of hard glass square capillary and soft square PDMS channel allows successful fabrication of a microfluidic device without any solution leakage, and which can use diffusion-based two-solution mixing. Two different types of chemically modified capillaries, an ion-sensing capillary and a pH-sensing capillary, are prepared by coating a hydrophobic plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) membrane and a hydrophilic poly(ethyleneglycol) membrane containing functional molecules onto the inner surface of capillaries. Then, they are cut into appropriate lengths and arranged on a single microchip to prepare a dual-analyte sensing system. The concept proposed here offers advantages inherent to using a planar microfluidic device and of chemical functionality of immobilized molecules. Therefore, we expect to fabricate various types of chemically functionalized microfluidic devices soon.
Elevated circulating levels of CTRP1, a novel adipokine, in diabetic patients (2014)

Complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 1 (CTRP1), an adipose tissue-derived adipokine has been shown to decrease blood glucose levels and to improve metabolism of glucose in mice. In addition, CTRP1 has exhibited significant association with BMI, adiponectin and TNF-α in diabetic animal models. However, there are no published studies addressing CTRP1 levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, it was of interest to evaluate plasma CTRP1 levels and associated clinical parameters and biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes. 135 subjects were recruited to this study, including 62 type 2 diabetic patients (DM group) and 73 healthy subjects (control group). We measured biochemical parameters, CTRP1, TNF-α and adiponectin using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Plasma CTRP1 levels showed a significant difference between the DM group and the control group (646.3 ± 154.4 ng/mL vs. 442.6 ± 165.4 ng/mL, p < 0.01). In addition, CTRP1 was strongly positively associated with BMI, glucose levels, HbA1c, HOMA-IR and TNF-α in diabetic patients. CTRP1 showed negative correlation with adiponectin. In Multivariate regression analysis, CTRP1 was strongly independently associated with diabetes when CTRP1 levels were analyzed by both as a continuous variable and quartile (OR: 1.009, 95% CI: 1.004-1.015, p < 0.05; OR: 2.443, 95% CI: 1.379-4.182, p < 0.01, respectively). Increased plasma CTRP1 was independently associated with type 2 diabetes. Profiling of plasma adipokines such as CTRP1 is particularly important to obtain a greater understanding of their contribution to the type 2 diabetic state.
Solvent effect of inkjet printed source/drain electrodes on electrical properties of polymer thin-film transistors (2006)

We show that the electrical properties of polymer thin-film transistors (PTFTs) can be enhanced by controlling the solvent properties of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) solution used as the inkjet-printed source and drain electrodes. Specifically, addition of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) into the PEDOT/PSS solution increased the conductivity of the inkjet-printed PEDOT electrodes and remarkably reduced the contact resistance of the electrodes. The lower contact resistance of the DMSO-treated PEDOT electrode compared to the corresponding electrode without DMSO treatment may be due to enhanced interfacial stability at the contact between the printed PEDOT electrodes and the semiconductor layers.
Calculation and Visualization of Power System Stability Margin Based on PMU Measurements (2010)

This paper introduces the concept of the Region Of Stability Existence (ROSE) and describes the framework for utilizing PMU data for computing of this region and operational margins. The approach presented in this paper is an automated process to continuously monitoring the transmission system in real-time environment by accurately calculating power system stability margins. Voltage constraints, thermal limits and steady-state stability are simultaneously monitored during the analysis. The region is shown on the planes of two phase angles and real powers. The paper also demonstrates the effect of remedial actions on the region. The approach is illustrated by using the ISO New England's real-time model, SCADA data and PMU measurements. The study results show that this approach is effective in improving the reliability of the ISO New England's transmission network and may be used for preventing major blackouts.
Varying the switching frequency to compensate the dead-time in pulse width modulated voltage source inverters (2003)

This paper proposes a technique to compensate the effects of the dead-time in pulse width modulated voltage source inverters. In the technique, the switching frequency is modified to avoid infeasible pulse widths of the gating signals. The switching frequency is varied to minimize the total harmonic distortion of the inverter output voltage. The experimental results obtained with the proposed technique employed in a three-phase induction motor drive system are presented.

Hypertension in the elderly is associated with impaired glucose metabolism independently of obesity and glucose intolerance. (1988)

We evaluated insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and blood pressure changes after oral administration of glucose in hypertensive and normotensive elderly subjects. The hypertensive group consisted of 12 subjects (aged 72.5 +/- 1.9 years, mean +/- s.e.m.) who had a history of hypertension lasting 10-25 years and were not more than 20% above ideal body weight. The normotensive group consisted of 12 subjects matched to the hypertensive group for age, sex and weight. All subjects underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (75 g glucose dissolved in 300 ml water), an intravenous glucose tolerance test (0.33 g/kg of a 50% glucose solution) and a euglycaemic, moderately hyperinsulinaemic glucose clamp. In both groups, oral glucose tolerance was normal according to the criteria of the National Diabetes Data Group; the hypertensive group showed significantly higher plasma glucose and insulin responses to oral glucose than the normotensive group, suggesting insulin resistance. The results of the euglycaemic clamp confirmed the state of reduced insulin sensitivity. Our data demonstrate that oral but not intravenous glucose produces a fall in blood pressure in hypertensive but not in normotensive patients, probably because activation of the sympathetic nervous system is impaired in hypertensive subjects; moreover, hypertension in the elderly seems associated with a state of reduced sensitivity to insulin.
Reactions of (H<sub>2</sub>AlMes*)<sub>2</sub>(Mes* = 2,4,6-(<i>t</i>-Bu)<sub>3</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>2</sub>) with H<sub>2</sub>EAr (E = N, P, or As; Ar = aryl):  Characterization of the Ring Compounds (Mes*AlNPh)<sub>2</sub>and (Mes*AlEPh)<sub>3</sub>(E = P or As) (1996)

The reaction between sterically crowded, dimeric, arylalane (H2AlMes*)2 and some aryl amines, phosphines, or arsines are described. Treatment of (H2AlMes*)2 (Mes* = 2,4,6-(t-Bu)3C6H2) with the amines H2NPh and H2NDipp (Dipp = 2,6-(i-Pr)2C6H3) affords the monomeric bis(amino)alane products Mes*Al(NHPh)2·Et2O (1·Et2O) and Mes*Al(NHDipp)2 (2) which feature three-coordinate aluminum and nitrogen centers and short Al−N bonds. Heating of a 1:1 mixture of H2AlMes* and aniline under carefully controlled conditions affords the dimer (Mes*AlNPh)2, 3. Reaction of (Mes*AlH2)2 with H2PPh or H2AsPh at ca. 160 °C gives the trimeric, six-membered-ring compounds (Mes*AlPPh)3·Et2O (4·Et2O) and (Mes*AlAsPh)3·Et2O (5·Et2O) which are formal valence analogues of borazine. The structure of 3 features a planar Al2N2 core, which also extends to the ipso carbons of the aryl rings; the Al−N distance is 1.824(2) Å. The structures of 4 and 5 have six-membered rings of alternating aluminum and phosphorus or arsenic atoms arranged in a nonplanar boat conformation. Little or no delocalization of the phosphorus or arsenic lone pairs is evident since the average Al−P and Al−As distances are consistent with single bond lengths. Moreover, pyramidal coordination is observed at all the pnictide centers. The structures of 5 and 4 represent respectively the first and second examples of bonding between three-coordinate aluminum and arsenic or phosphorus, whereas 3 represents a unique instance of an Al2N2 ring with organic substituents. The compounds were characterized by 1H, 13C, and 31P (4, only) NMR spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography in the case of 1, 3, 4, and 5.

MOTOR NERVE CONDUCTION VELOCITY IN TERM, PRETERM, AND SMALL-FOR-DATES NEWBORN INFANTS (1968)

Nerve conduction velocity has been reported to have a positive relationship to degree of myelination. In this study peripheral motor nerve conduction velocity was found to be dependent on the conceptional age but independent from the birth weight of preterm, full-term, and small-for-dates newborn infants, plus twins of different birth weight.
Densification of MgB<sub>2</sub>cores in iron-clad tapes (2004)

A fabrication process of iron-clad MgB2 superconducting tapes was developed by using a nano-sized precursor and highly deformed iron sheath. Quenching experiments demonstrate that the precursor fully reacts and forms MgB2 under a high pressure of 600?MPa provided by the deformed iron sheath. Very good grain connections as well as a high core density of 2.55?g?cm?3 were therefore obtained. High 20?K Jc of 3.1 ? 105, 1.6 ? 105 and 4.9 ? 104?A?cm?2 at self-field, 1 and 2?T, respectively, were acquired. The results suggest that using a nano-sized precursor approach to fabricate MgB2 superconducting tape is a very promising process.
