If CCS is implemented on the scale needed to make noticeable reductions in atmospheric CO2, a billion metric tons or more must be sequestered annually—a 250 fold increase over the amount sequestered today. Securing such a large volume will require a solid scientific foundation defining the coupled hydrologic-geochemical-geomechanical processes that govern the long-term fate of CO2 in the subsurface. Also needed are methods to characterize and select sequestration sites, subsurface engineering to optimize performance and cost, approaches to ensure safe operation, monitoring technology, remediation methods, regulatory overview, and an institutional approach for managing long-term liability.

Mixed bacterial toxins in the treatment of tumors. I. Methods of preparation and effects on normal and sarcoma 37-bearing mice. (1958)

Summary Toxins obtained from several strains of Streptococcus pyogenes and of Serratia marcescens were tested singly and in combination for their effect in causing regression of Sarcoma 37 in Swiss mice. It was found that the mode of growth, as well as the bacterial strain, plays a determinant role in the ensuing oncolytic potency. From the regression rates it is apparent that some of the mixed preparations are less toxic than, and superior in oncolytic effect to, those from Serratia marcescens alone or its purified polysaccharide. Possible mechanisms responsible for tumor destruction by the bacterial toxins are discussed.
Expression of gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 1 causes Escherichia coli to bind human transferrin (1993)

The gene for gonococcal transferrin-binding protein 1 (TBP1) was cloned behind an inducible promoter in Escherichia coli. The resultant strain was capable of binding human transferrin with the same specificity as that of the gonococcus. E. coli expressing TBP1 did not internalize transferrin-bound iron or grow on transferrin as a sole iron source.
Extending dependencies with conditions (2007)

This paper introduces a class of conditional inclusion dependencies (CINDs), which extends traditional inclusion dependencies (INDs) by enforcing bindings of semantically related data values. We show that CINDs are useful not only in data cleaning, but are also in contextual schema matching [7]. To make effective use of CINDs in practice, it is often necessary to reason about them. The most important static analysis issue concerns consistency, to determine whether or not a given set of CINDs has conflicts. Another issue concerns implication, i.e., deciding whether a set of CINDs entails another CIND. We give a full treatment of the static analyses of CINDs, and show that CINDs retain most nice properties of traditional INDs: (a) CINDs are always consistent; (b) CINDs are finitely axiomatizable, i.e., there exists a sound and complete inference system for implication of CINDs; and (c) the implication problem for CINDs has the same complexity as its traditional counterpart, namely, PSPACE-complete, in the absence of attributes with a finite domain; but it is EXPTIME-complete in the general setting. In addition, we investigate the interaction between CINDs and conditional functional dependencies (CFDs), an extension of functional dependencies proposed in [9]. We show that the consistency problem for the combination of CINDs and CFDs becomes undecidable. In light of the undecidability, we provide heuristic algorithms for the consistency analysis of CFDs and CINDs, and experimentally verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms. 1.
The use of N-methylated peptides and depsipeptides to probe the binding of heptapeptide substrates to cAMP-dependent protein kinase. (1985)

Peptide 1, Leu-Arg-Arg-Ala-Ser-Leu-Gly, is an excellent substrate for cAMP-dependent protein kinase. While the importance of both arginines for effective enzyme-substrate interactions has been shown, it has not been known whether the kinase will catalyze phosphorylation of substrates which contain other than peptide bonds. We report that analogs of peptide 1 which contain depsi linkages replacing selected amide bonds are good protein kinase substrates. Therefore, with the possible exception of the serine amide proton, no peptide 1 amide hydrogens are involved in peptide-peptide or peptide-enzyme hydrogen bonding crucial to defining the high substrate activity of this peptide. It is thus unlikely that peptide 1 is bound by the protein kinase while in an alpha-helical or a beta-turn structure. Three peptides were found to be very poor substrates for protein kinase, those containing N-methyl amino acids in place of Ser5 or Leu6 and a peptide containing Pro in place of Leu6. These peptides are poor substrates for the enzyme possibly because they are unable to adopt a conformation necessary for catalysis of phosphoryl group transfer to occur or due to steric effects in the enzymatic active site.
Association of resistance to terminal differentiation with initiation of carcinogenesis in adult mouse epidermal cells. (1985)

Primary adult mouse epidermal cells were maintained as a monolayer culture with a high proliferation rate in fibroblast-conditioned medium with low Ca2+ concentration (less than 0.1 mM). Terminal differentiation of the cultures was induced by raising the Ca2+ level in the medium above 0.1 mM. Treatment of adult mouse epidermal cells either in vivo or in vitro with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine yielded colonies which were resistant to terminal differentiation induced by Ca2+. The number of resistant colonies was dependent upon the dose of each carcinogen used whether exposure was in vivo or in vitro. Cultures derived from skin initiated in vivo with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, a strong initiator, resulted in more colonies than were derived from skin initiated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, a moderately potent initiator. Two mouse strains, BALB/c and SENCAR, which differ in sensitivity to skin carcinogenesis, yielded similar numbers of Ca2+-resistant colonies following carcinogen exposure. However, colonies developed spontaneously from untreated SENCAR cells (the sensitive strain), but not from BALB/c cells (the resistant strain). These results support the concept that cells resistant to terminal differentiation are initiated cells. The results also suggest that initiation may occur spontaneously in SENCAR skin, a finding consistent with the reported occurrence of tumors in mice of this strain receiving promoters without exogenous initiator.
Formation of chemical compounds by ion bombardment of thin transition metal films (1978)

Thin films of transition metals (Ti, Cr, Ni, Nb, Mo, Ta) are bombarded with nitrogen and argon ions of energy 60 keV with dose range of 5 × 1015 to 5 × 1017 ions/cm2. The formation of chemical compounds causes both, the phase transformation and changes in the electrical properties of the films. The electrophysical and structural properties show a strong dependence on the conditions of film preparation. [Russian Text Ignored]
Mobility and routing protocols for 802.11 extended service sets (2004)

There are two basic types of 802.11 networks: 1) networks that operate as single "independent" basic service sets (IBSSs) and 2) networks that operate as extended service sets (ESSs), also known as infrastructure networks. Infrastructure networks have access points (APs) that may be interconnected to other APs within an ESS via a distribution system (DS) to extend the range and scalability of an infrastructure network. Also, they may have stations (STAs) that associate with a neighboring AP in order to access the DS service. On the other hand, an IBSS consists only of STAs and does not support the DS service. Protocols that enable multihop routing in IBSS networks have been proposed in the lETF's MANET working group. This paper describes an 802.11 access point that can combine with other such APs and with standard STAs to form a mobile, 802.11 ESS that is an infrastructure network, but incorporates the mobility features typical of a multihop ad hoc network. The new architecture is called a dynamic backbone subnet based on 802.11, or simply, DBS/802.11. Externally, a DBS/802.11 subnet provides network services very much like an Ethernet, which simplifies its connection to other IP networks. Both a simulation model and a Linux implementation of DBS/802.11 have been developed. We show some results from a field test scenario designed to verify the operation of the DBS/802.11 implementation using mobile nodes in a dynamic, interference prone environment.

A distributed environment for enabling lightweight flexible workflows (2002)

As evident in the healthcare domain, and other enterprise wide applications, it is essential to have all the tasks collaborate in a loosely coupled fashion so that all the independently built applications and tasks can work together in a streamlined manner. A set of distributed, domain independent architectural components is introduced for workflow applications. These components are responsible for isolating applications from the task of communicating with the workflow manager and support greater flexibility and scalability by defining domain independent components and domain specific components separately. With the proposed components, distributed applications can be used in a workflow without a priori knowledge of each other. Consequently, introducing a new application to a set of collaborative applications would be easier than in today's existing collaboration environments.
Biatorella Resinae: The Perfect Stage of Zythia resinae (1941)

SUMMARYBiatorella resinae, a discomycete, was demonstrated to be the ascigerous stage of the pycnidial form, Zythia resinae, by means of single-ascospore and single-conidial cultures.The hosts upon which the apothecial and pycnidial stages of Biatorella resinae have been collected during this study and their geographical distribution are reported herein.Inoculation tests with artificial cultures of Biatorella resinae on Pinus strobus failed to show that this fungus was parasitic on the conifer.
Dynamics of FSH-induced follicular growth in subfertile women: relationship with age, insulin resistance, oocyte yield and anti-Mullerian hormone (2006)

Age showed little impact on the initial follicular cohort, but a significant impact upon the secondary cohort, while insulin resistance appeared to promote the former category alone. The disturbance to follicular dynamics and AMH in IR-PCOS reflected a larger stockpile of FSH-sensitive follicles. Circulating AMH appears to represent all categories of antral follicles observed.
Where splicing joins chromatin (2011)

There are numerous data suggesting that two key steps in gene expression-transcription and splicing influence each other closely. For a long time it was known that chromatin modifications regulate transcription, but only recently it was shown that chromatin and histone modifications play a significant role in pre-mRNA splicing. Here we summarize interactions between splicing machinery and chromatin and discuss their potential functional significance. We focus mainly on histone acetylation and methylation and potential mechanisms of their role in splicing. It seems that whereas histone acetylation acts mainly by alterating the transcription rate, histone methylation can also influence splicing directly by recruiting various splicing components.
State-of-charge estimation using a self-adaptive noise extended Kalman filter for lithium batteries (2014)

Extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a typical method for state-of-charge (SOC) estimation of lithium batteries. An equivalent circuit model for the lithium battery is established, and model parameters are identified by experimental methods. Based on the battery model and model parameters, an EKF is proposed for SOC estimation. Analysis is conducted on the effect of the model coefficients of EKF to the stability and rapidity of SOC estimation. By calculating the sensitivity of SOC to EMF under different SOC stages and according to the needs of various operating conditions, the EKF process noise and measurement noise are adaptively adjusted to regulate the proportion of the measurement update to estimation result. The regulation contributes to tracking the SOC and improving the smoothness of the estimation result. It is validated by experiments on lithium iron phosphate (LiFeP04) battery that the performance of the EKF on SOC estimation in different situations is optimized by the noise adaptive algorithm.
Immunohistochemical Staining for Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 Aids in the Stratification of Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia Diagnosed on Breast Core Biopsy (2005)

A diagnosis of atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) after breast core biopsy usually is followed by an excisional biopsy to exclude the presence of a more significant lesion. To determine whether the immunohistochemical expression of cyclin D1 (CyD1) and Ki-67 can aid in case stratification for the likelihood of finding ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on subsequent excision, we immunohistochemically stained 21 consecutive ADH cases diagnosed by core biopsy, and proliferation indices (PIs) were calculated for each case. Fluorescence in situ hybridization to detect CCND1 amplification was performed in 10 cases. In 5 cases, DCIS (with or without invasive carcinoma) was identified in the subsequent excision. The mean PICyD1 and PIKi-67 for these cases were significantly higher than in the remainder (P = .03 and P = .05, respectively). The sensitivities of PICyD1 and PIKi-67 for the presence of DCIS on subsequent excision were 100%, and the specificities were 75% and 69%, respectively. The specificity of the 2 markers combined was 88%. The number of cells with CCND1 amplification was higher in cases with DCIS or ADH on subsequent excision. Immunostaining for CyD1 and Ki-67 might help stratify cases of ADH on core biopsy and identify patients unlikely to have DCIS found on excision.
Isolation and Characterization of Adult Spinal Disc Stem Cells from Healthy Human Spinal Disc Tissues (2014)

This report details the isolation, culture, and characterization of spinal disc stem cells derived from human adult spinal disc tissue specimens. Using stem cell suspension culture methods and biology, human adult spinal disc stem cells were isolated and monoclonally cultured into multicellular sphere-like clusters (discospheres). Discospheres from the first culture series were collected, processed, and replated as single stem cells for serial expansion studies using suspension culture, demonstrating linear expansion was possible. Discospheres and adult spinal disc stem cells were plated on matrix coated culture surfaces in stem cell media for several hours to allow fixation, and assayed for the stem cell biomarkers. Discospheres and adult spinal disc stem cells were plated on laminin-coated culture surfaces in chondrogenic media and culture conditions for 14 days to differentiate them into NP cells. NP cells cultured from these experiments demonstrated NP morphology and phenotype; NP biomarker expression, secretion of extracellular matrix, and the ability to be serially passaged with large volume expansion possible. Tissue engineering studies using the “burst kinetic assay”, demonstrated that discospheres have remarkable intrinsic developmental and tissue engineering biology that is robust and organized. In summary, adult disc stem cells and NP cells have been isolated, cultured, and characterized, from healthy spinal disc tissues. These findings demonstrate the important potential to be explored for using stem cell based tissue engineering for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD).

The Elastic Constants of Nickel (1952)

The elastic constants of nickel have been determined by the pulsed ultrasonic method. Wave velocity measurements on four nickel single crystals of general orientation which were magnetically saturated were combined by the approximation method leading to values of the elastic constants C11=2.53, C12=1.52, C44=1.24, all in units of 1012 dyne cm−2.
CtsR, a novel regulator of stress and heat shock response, controls <i>clp</i> and molecular chaperone gene expression in Gram‐positive bacteria (1999)

clpP and clpC of Bacillus subtillis encode subunits of the Clp ATP-dependent protease and are required for stress survival, including growth at high temperature. They play essential roles in stationary phase adaptive responses such as the competence and sporulation developmental pathways, and belong to the so-called class III group of heat shock genes, whose mode of regulation is unknown and whose expression is induced by heat shock or general stress conditions. The product of ctsR, the first gene of the clpC operon, has now been shown to act as a repressor of both clpP and clpC, as well as clpE, which encodes a novel member of the Hsp100 Clp ATPase family. The CtsR protein was purified and shown to bind specifically to the promoter regions of all three clp genes. Random mutagenesis, DNasel footprinting and DNA sequence deletions and comparisons were used to define a consensus CtsR recognition sequence as a directly repeated heptad upstream from the three clp genes. This target sequence was also found upstream from clp and other heat shock genes of several Gram-positive bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus salivarius, S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, S. thermophilus, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Leuconostoc oenos, Lactobacillus sake, Lactococcus lactis and Clostridium acetobutylicum. CtsR homologues were also identified in several of these bacteria, indicating that heat shock regulation by CtsR is highly conserved in Gram-positive bacteria.

Interaction Between Shale and Water-Based Drilling Fluids: Laboratory Exposure Tests Give New Insight Into Mechanisms and Field Consequences of KCl Contents (1998)

Abstract To predict and cure borehole instabilities during drilling, it is important to have a profound understanding of the effects that the drilling fluid (in particular water-based muds) may have on shale behaviour. This paper focuses on the consequences of KCl exposure on smectite-rich shales. These effects have been studied by various experimental techniques, both under atmospheric and simulated downhole conditions. This has identified several particular effects as a consequence of potassium intruding the shale. One effect is that the shale shrinks, primarily due to cation exchange. This process increases the permeability and changes the deformability and possibly also the strength of the shale. Simulations of the shrinkage effect around a borehole show that the compressive stresses will decrease with increasing KCl concentration, and this improves the stability. Tensile stresses may eventually be generated in the formation at high concentrations. This enhances the possibility of borehole instability problems and also increases the rate of potentially damaging effects (pore pressure diffusion, ion transport). An important conclusion is that an optimum KCl concentration appears to exist. Shale-fluid interactions were found to depend strongly on the test methods and procedures, calling for a careful review of methods used for optimum drill fluid design. The testing also revealed that the effect of potassium is fundamentally different from other cations upon exposure to shale. P. 215
