Phagocytic cell responses to in vivo and in vitro exposure to the Lyme disease spirochete. (1985)

An experimental skin lesion induced in rabbits by the bite of infected adult Ixodes dammini showed dense dermal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltrates composed of mononuclear cells (histiocytes and lymphocytes) and granulocytes. The prevalence of phagocytic cells in this experimental lesion motivated a study on the interactions of macrophages and neutrophils with Lyme disease spirochetes. Interactions as measured by uptake of radiolabeled spirochetes and by indirect immunofluorescence were enhanced by opsonization of spirochetes with immune serum and not significantly decreased by heat inactivation of the same. Phagocytosis was inhibited by treatment of cells with Cytochalasin B. Adherence of opsonized spirochetes to neutrophils was decreased by blocking Fc receptors with heat-aggregated IgG, suggesting an important role for this receptor.
Generalized overlap-add sinusoidal modeling applied to quasi-harmonic tone synthesis (2002)

Analysis-by-synthesis/overlap-add (ABS/OLA) sinusoidal modeling has been successfully demonstrated as an accurate, flexible, and computationally tractable representation for the purposes of speech modification and harmonic tone synthesis; however, the model formulation used to synthesize these signals does not take full advantage of the structure of quasi-harmonic music signals. This paper describes a generalized overlap-add sinusoidal model formulation that accounts for the time-frequency behavior of quasi-harmonic tones and which reduces to the previous formulation as a special case.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Thyroid-Stimulating Antibody is Related to Graves' Ophthalmopathy, But Thyrotropin-Binding Inhibitor Immunoglobulin is Related to Hyperthyroidism in Patients with Graves' Disease (2000)

We investigated the relationship between thyroid function or ophthalmopathy of Graves' disease and thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAb) in 155 untreated patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism. All patients were examined by ophthalmologists, and underwent computed tomography of the orbit and measurement of serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyrotropin-binding inhibitor immunoglobulin (TBII), and thyroid stimulating antibodies (TSAb). Patients were divided into three groups according to the presence of orbital fat increase (OFI) and extraocular muscle enlargement (EME): 57 patients without OFI and EMO formed the no Graves' ophthalmopathy (NGO) group; 55 patients with OFI but without EMO formed the OF group; 43 patients with EME with or without OFI formed the EM group. The FT3, FT4, and thyroid weight increased in the order of the EME, NGO, and OFI groups. TSAb increased in the order of the NGO, OFI, and EME groups, and TSAb was significantly greater in the EME and OFI than in the NGO group. TBII was not significantly different among the three groups, but was lower in EME than NGO. There was a significant positive correlation between TBII and FT3 or FT4 in all patients combined as well as in all three groups, but correlation between TSAb and FT3 or FT4 was very weak in all groups, and that between TSAb and FT3 was not significant in the EM group In the relationship between ophthalmopathy and TRAb, the sum of the scores of eyelid swelling, proptosis, and extraocular muscle enlargement was taken as a measure of the overall severity of the Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO). TSAb was significantly correlated with the GO score, but there was no correlation between TBII and GO scores. In conclusion, TSAb was correlated with ophthalmopathy but TBII was related to hyperthyroidism.

Dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm in ethernet passive optical networks (2003)

A dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm in ethernet passive optical networks (EPON) is proposed. Specifically, an analytic model to estimate the proper allocation of the bandwidth in EPON is introduced. In particular, it is shown that the proper allocation of the bandwidth for the optical network units leads to improvement in the network's performance.
Direct Measurement of the Short-Range Interaction Between a Tungsten Tip and a Mica Surface (1992)

The direct measurement of the Van der Waals interaction between a tungsten tip and a mica surface down to the molecular contact has been performed. The original apparatus used allows a continuous measurement without jump contrary to the previous tentatives. The experimental result is fitted with a Lennard-Jones potential.
Negative ion formation and dissociation in scattering of fast O2 and NO from Ag(111) and Pt(111) (1991)

Results of scattering of 80–300 eV O2 and NO from Ag(111) and Pt(111) single crystal surfaces are presented. Molecular negative ion formation occurs on both surfaces. For O2 scattering around 80 eV for θi=70° from Ag(111), the O−2 distribution is detected in the specular direction, whereas an off-specular shift towards the surface is observed for scattering from Pt(111). For the Pt(111) surface, a degree of dissociation is observed that is much larger than for the Ag(111) surface. Both observations are consistent with the low dissociative sticking probability for thermal O2 on Ag(111) reported and the high dissociative sticking probability for thermal O2 on Pt(111). For NO−, the degree of dissociation is approximately equal to the degree of dissociation for O2 at the same Pt(111) surface.
Rat visual cortical neurones express TrkA NGF receptor (2002)

In this study we report the expression of TrkA receptor within the rat visual cortex during postnatal development and in adulthood, using a specific monoclonal antibody which recognizes the extracellular domain of TrkA receptor. TrkA was not detected by immunohistochemistry at postnatal day 13 (P13), i.e. before eye opening. At P22 TrkA was mostly localised in cortical fibre-like processes. At P39 and P90, TrkA-positive neuronal cell bodies in supragranular and infragranular layers were found. Using double immunohistochemistry, labelled cells were identified as intrinsic cholinergic neurones, and as interneurones expressing calbindin and neuropeptide Y. We conclude that TrkA is expressed in visual cortical neurones during postnatal development and in adulthood and that its pattern of expression is developmentally regulated.

A cross-language framework for developing AJAX applications (2007)

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) applications have received wide-spread attention as a new way to develop highly interactive web applications. Breaking with the complete-page-reload paradigm of traditional web applications, AJAX applications rival desktop applications in their look-and-feel. AJAX places a high burden on a web developer requiring extensive JavaScript knowledge as well as other advanced client-side technologies. In this paper, we introduce a technique that allows a developer to implement an application in Java or any .NET language and then automatically cross-compile it to an AJAX-enabled web application.
Is Supervenience Asymmetric (1999)

After some preliminary clarifications, arguments for the supposed asymmetry of supervenience and determination, such as they are, are shown to be unsound. An argument against the supposed asymmetry is then constructed and defended against objections. This is followed by explanations of why the intuition of asymmetry is nonetheless so entrenched, and of how the asymmetric ontological priority of the physical over the non-physical can be understood without the supposed asymmetry of supervenience and determination.

Silicon-on-insulator-based adiabatic splitter with simultaneous tapering of velocity and coupling (2013)

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a 2×2 3 dB adiabatic splitter based on silicon-on-insulator technology, with simultaneous tapering of the phase velocity and coupling. The advantages of the proposed splitter are indicated by analyzing the effective index evolution of the system modes and comparing them with the simulated performances. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulations. Over the 100 nm wavelength range measured, the output uniformity is better than 0.2 dB. A low and flat excess loss of about 0.3 dB per splitter is obtained, with a variation below 0.2 dB.

Mesomorphic Properties of Laterally O-difluoro-substituted Biphenyl Liquid Crystals (2007)

A homolog of lateral O-difluoro-substituted biphenyl liquid crystals and their mesomorphic pro-perties were systematically investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),microscopy heat analysis and polarizing optical microscopy(POM).The result shows that most of these compounds exhibit high cleaning point(119～171 ℃) and broad range of mesophase(53～108 ℃).Typical textures of SA and nematic phase were observed.Influences of terminal groups on mesomorphic properties were discussed and it is found that the melting point and cleaning point were decreased and the temperature range of mesophase varied regularly with the increase of carbon number of terminal alkoxy.

The system has been shown to provide excellent results. A description of the system is given, along with the results.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
ExploitMeter: Combining Fuzzing with Machine Learning for Automated Evaluation of Software Exploitability (2017)

Exploitable software vulnerabilities pose severe threats to its information security and privacy. Although a great amount of efforts have been dedicated to improving software security, research on quantifying software exploitability is still in its infancy. In this work, we propose ExploitMeter, a fuzzing-based framework of quantifying software exploitability that facilitates decision-making for software assurance and cyber insurance. Designed to be dynamic, efficient and rigorous, ExploitMeter integrates machine learning-based prediction and dynamic fuzzing tests in a Bayesian manner. Using 100 Linux applications, we conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of ExploitMeter in a dynamic environment.
Actinic EUVL mask blank inspection and phase defect characterization (2009)

We have developed an actinic full-field mask blank inspection system to detect multilayer phase defects with dark field imaging. Using this system a non-commercial mask was inspected and real defects were detected by setting the system at low false detection threshold. A 1.5 mm square area (containing no absorber) was inspected three times, and probabilities of defect detection and false detection were evaluated. Of the total number detected, 81.5 % of them exhibited 100% percent probability of detection, while 0.8 % of them indicated false detection. The same area was also inspected with a conventional inspection system, and both inspection results then were compared. Among the defects detected, 94 % of them could be detected only with the actinic system, while 1.1 % of them could be detected only with the conventional laser-based inspection system. The detected defects were observed with AFM and SEM. In summary, phase defects smaller than 100 nm could be detected only with the actinic system, while particles smaller than 200 nm could be detected only with the conventional system.
Abl collaborates with Src family kinases to stimulate actin-based motility of vaccinia virus (2005)

Local activation of Src at the plasma membrane by extracellular vaccinia virus results in a signalling cascade that acts to stimulate actin polymerization beneath the virus to enhance its cell-to-cell spread. Initiation of this signalling cascade involves Src-mediated phosphorylation of tyrosine 112 and 132 of the viral membrane protein A36R. Here we show that recruitment of Src is dependent on its myristoylation and an interaction with A36R upstream of tyrosine 112 and 132. We further show that Src, Fyn and Yes have unique specificities towards these tyrosine residues. Using cell lines deficient in Src, Fyn and Yes, we demonstrate that multiple Src family members can stimulate vaccinia-induced actin polymerization and also uncover a role for Abl family kinases. Additionally, Abl and Arg are able to phosphorylate A36R in vitro and are recruited to vaccinia-induced actin tails. The ability of multiple families of tyrosine kinases to directly phosphorylate A36R ensures robust cell-to-cell spread of vaccinia virus will occur under a variety of cellular conditions.
The use of socially assistive robots in the design of intelligent cognitive therapies for people with dementia (2009)

Currently the 2 percent growth rate for the world's older population exceeds the 1.2 rate for the world's population as a whole. By 2050, the number of individuals over the age 85 is projected to be three times more than there is today. Most of these individuals will need physical, emotional, and cognitive assistance. In this paper, we present a new adaptive robotic system based on the socially assistive robotics (SAR) technology that tries to provide a customized help protocol through motivation, encouragements, and companionship to users suffering from cognitive changes related to aging and/or Alzheimer's disease. Our results show that this approach can engage the patients and keep them interested in interacting with the robot, which, in turn, increases their positive behavior.
Cellulose‐Based Diagnostic Devices for Diagnosing Serotype‐2 Dengue Fever in Human Serum (2013)

Here, two types of cellulose-based in vitro diagnostic devices are demonstrated for the diagnosis of dengue virus infection in both buffer system and human serum: 1) paper-based ELISA for providing the semiquantitative information of the disease activity of serotype-2 dengue fever to healthcare persons (i.e., monitoring the disease activity with a specific serotype in single patients); 2) lateral flow immunoassays to screen for infection with serotype-2 dengue fever (i.e., rapid YES or NO diagnosis prepared for large populations, in terms of global public health). Paper-based ELISA (specific to serotype-2 dengue fever), which builds off of our previous studies and a revised previous ELISA procedure, owns multiple advantages: 1) high sensitivity (about 40 times higher than the current ELISA-based approaches, due to our therapeutic-based monoclonal antibody) and specificity (specific to dengue virus serotype-2 nonstructural protein-1 antigens); 2) tiny amount of sample and reagent used for single tests; 3) short operating duration (i.e., rapid diagnostic device); and, 4) inexpensiveness (appropriate for use in all developing and underdeveloped nations of the world). Due to the higher sensitivity and shorter operating duration of paper-based ELISA (compared with conventional ELISA, and lateral flow immunoassays also performed in this study), this study has not only been able to perform the diagnosis of dengue virus serotype-2 nonstructural protein-1 antigens in both buffer system and human serum but also to evaluate dengue virus serotype-2 envelope proteins in the buffer system, thus successfully achieving the first such use of these proteins as the target antigen for the development of diagnostic tools. These results provide a more comprehensive understanding for the genesis of dengue fever diagnostic tools (through antibody-antigen recognition).

Continuous carbon nanotube composite fibers: properties, potential applications, and problemsElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: frontispiece figure. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/jm/b3/b312092a/ (2003)

Using solution spinning, which involves an intermediate gel-state, we obtained exceptionally strong carbon nanotube fibers that are tougher than either spider silk or any fiber used for mechanical reinforcement. We use these fibers to make 100 micron diameter supercapacitors and electronic textiles. Per weight, the energy needed to break these fibers is about 4× higher than spider dragline silk and 20× higher than steel wire. This article describes this advance, comparisons with the prior art, potential applications, and present barriers for large volume applications.
Model-Based Localization and Tracking Using Bluetooth Low-Energy Beacons (2017)

We introduce a high precision localization and tracking method that makes use of cheap Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons only. We track the position of a moving sensor by integrating highly unreliable and noisy BLE observations streaming from multiple locations. A novel aspect of our approach is the development of an observation model, specifically tailored for received signal strength indicator (RSSI) fingerprints: a combination based on the optimal transport model of Wasserstein distance. The tracking results of the entire system are compared with alternative baseline estimation methods, such as nearest neighboring fingerprints and an artificial neural network. Our results show that highly accurate estimation from noisy Bluetooth data is practically feasible with an observation model based on Wasserstein distance interpolation combined with the sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method for tracking.
Asset Allocation: Systemic Liquidity as a Risk Factor (2011)

Most investors think of liquidity as a synonym for execution. Indeed, the ability to quickly and easily move in and out of positions is the defining measure of liquidity. But just as the financial crisis proved that asset allocation involves more than toggling between bonds and stocks, a proper examination of portfolio construction reveals that liquidity is also a topdown driver of returns. In this article PIMCO investment professionals examine how liquidity contributes to performance over time and urge investors to treat liquidity as one of the key “risk factors” in their portfolio construction.
Tunable generation of Bessel beams with a fluidic axicon (2008)

This paper describes a tunable fluidic conical lens, or axicon, for the generation and dynamic reconfiguration of Bessel beams. When illuminated with a Gaussian laser beam, our fluidic axicon generates a diverging beam with an annular cross section. By varying the refractive index of the solution that fills our device, we can vary easily the spatial properties of the resulting Bessel beam.
Defects Identification and Effects of Annealing on Lu2(1-x)Y2xSiO5 (LYSO) Single Crystals for Scintillation Application (2011)

The nature, properties and relative concentrations of electronic defects were investigated by Thermoluminescence (TL) in Lu<sub>2(1-x)</sub>Y<sub>2x</sub>SiO₅ (LYSO) single crystals. Ce and Tb-doped single crystals, grown by the Czochralski technique (CZ), revealed similar traps in TL. LYSO:Ce single crystals were grown by the Floating-Zone technique (FZ) with increasing oxygen concentration in the growth atmosphere. TL intensity is strongly dependent on the oxygen content of the material, and oxygen vacancies are proven to be the main electronic defects in LYSO. The effects of oxidizing and reducing annealing post-treatment on these defects were investigated. While oxidizing treatments efficiently reduce the amount of electronic defects, reducing treatments increase the amount of existing traps. In a thermally assisted tunneling mechanism, the localization of oxygen vacancies around the dopant is discussed. They are shown to be in the close vicinity of the dopant, though not in first neighbor positions.
