Performance analysis of adaptive filters equipped with the dual sign algorithm (1991)

A convergence analysis for stochastic gradient adaptive filters equipped with the dual sign algorithm (DSA) is presented. Expressions for the mean and mean-squared values of the coefficient misalignment vector are derived under the assumption that the input signal is Gaussian. The main differences between the current analysis and previous analyses are: (1) the present analysis is valid for arbitrary autocorrelation matrices, and (2) the analysis does not approximate the behavior for the DSA as switching between two sign algorithms a certain amount of time after the DSA is initialized. A simulation example comparing the analytical results with empirical ones is presented and the two curves show excellent agreement with each other.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Medicinal plants used against tuberculosis by traditional medicinal practitioners of Bogra district, Bangladesh (2009)

Tuberculosis is an age-old contagious disease, which often leads to fatality if not treated properly. Recently, there has been increasing concerns because the organism causing this disease has become multi-drug resistant. As a result, searches are underway throughout the world for discovery of novel compounds, which can be used successfully to treat multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Since this disease is prevalent in Bangladesh and is often treated with herbal medicines by the traditional medicinal practitioners (Kavirajes), we undertook an ethnomedicinal survey of Kavirajes in Bogra district, Bangladesh to gather information on medicinal plants used to treat this disease. Plants were collected from the Kavirajes and identified at the Bangladesh National Herbarium. The collected information indicates that the following plants (with family name in parenthesis) are used to treat tuberculosis: Adhatoda vasica (Acanthaceae), Andrographis paniculata (Acanthaceae), Centella asiatica (Apiaceae), Catharanthus roseus (Apocynaceae), Holarrhena antidysenterica (Apocynaceae), Colocasia esculenta (Araceae), Pistia stratiotes (Araceae), Aloe vera (Asphodelaceae), Calendula officinalis (Asteraceae), Shorea robusta (Dipterocarpaceae), Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae), Swertia chirata (Gentianaceae), Ocimum sanctum (Lamiaceae), Allium sativum (Liliaceae), Hibiscus rosa sinensis (Malvaceae), Swietenia mahagoni (Meliaceae), Tinospora cordifolia (Menispermaceae), Eucalyptus globules (Myrtaceae), Piper longum (Piperaceae), Cymbopogon citratus (Poaceae), Zizyphus mauritiana (Rhamnaceae), Morinda citrifolia (Rubiaceae), and Vitis vinifera (Vitaceae). The anti-tubercular effect of Adhatoda vasica (mediated through chemical components of the plant like vasicine and vasicinone, and their semi-synthetic derivatives like bromhexine and ambroxol) has already been reported. It is important that modern scientific studies be conducted on other plants towards isolation and identification of compounds through which multi-drug resistant tuberculosis can be effectively treated.
Photoreactions of the Photointermediates of Bacteriorhodopsin (1995)

Abstract The photochemical reactions of the intermediates of the photochemical cycle of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) are reviewed. These reactions constitute photochemical control of the cycle and provide an independent approach for the investigation of the mechanism of light energy transduction in the purple membrane. The absorption of a light quantum by the K, L, or M intermediates converts them back to bR. These transformations interrupt the photocycle so that no proton transfer occurs after absorption of the second quantum. The action of blue light on the M intermediate causes structural changes of the chromophore, as a result of which the Schiff base is reprotonated from Asp‐85, not from Asp‐96 as in the usual thermal transition of M. The photoreactions of the L, M, N, and O intermediates lead to the formation of new photoproducts. Studies of the photoconversion of the intermediates can serve as an additional source of information on the nature of photoprocesses in bR: they reveal several conformers of K and bR at 90 K, different M states, two N intermediates, and provide direct evidence for the existence of a thermal back reaction from N to M. The study of the photoreactions of the J, K, L, M, N, and O intermediates is a promising method for elucidating the structures and roles of these states. Reversible photoconversions of bR and its photointermediates provide a basis for potential applications of bR in optical registration of information.
Efficient CRISPR/Cas9‐Based Genome Engineering in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells (2016)

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPS cells) are rapidly emerging as a powerful tool for biomedical discovery. The advent of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS cells) with human embryonic stem (hES)-cell-like properties has led to hPS cells with disease-specific genetic backgrounds for in vitro disease modeling and drug discovery as well as mechanistic and developmental studies. To fully realize this potential, it will be necessary to modify the genome of hPS cells with precision and flexibility. Pioneering experiments utilizing site-specific double-strand break (DSB)-mediated genome engineering tools, including zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), have paved the way to genome engineering in previously recalcitrant systems such as hPS cells. However, these methods are technically cumbersome and require significant expertise, which has limited adoption. A major recent advance involving the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) endonuclease has dramatically simplified the effort required for genome engineering and will likely be adopted widely as the most rapid and flexible system for genome editing in hPS cells. In this unit, we describe commonly practiced methods for CRISPR endonuclease genomic editing of hPS cells into cell lines containing genomes altered by insertion/deletion (indel) mutagenesis or insertion of recombinant genomic DNA.
Number of eigenvalues for dissipative Schrodinger operators under perturbation (2015)

Abstract. In this article, we prove for a class of dissipative Schrödinger operators H = −∆+ V (x) with a complex-valued potential V (x) on Rn, n ≥ 2, and ℑV (x) ≤ 0 and ℑV ̸ = 0 that 0 is not an accumulating point of the eigenvalues of H. If ℑV is sufficiently small, we show that N(V) = N(ℜV) + k, where k is the multiplicity of the zero resonance of the selfadjoint Schrödinger operator − ∆ + ℜV and N(W) the number of eigenvalues of −∆+W, counted according to their algebraic multiplicity. Resume.

Major Secretory Antigens of the Helminth <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> Activate a Suppressive Dendritic Cell Phenotype That Attenuates Th17 Cells but Fails To Activate Th2 Immune Responses (2009)

Fasciola hepatica is a helminth pathogen that drives Th2/Treg immune responses in its mammalian host. The parasite releases a large number of molecules that are critical to inducing this type of immune response. Here we have selected recombinant forms of two major F. hepatica secreted molecules, the protease cathepsin L (rFhCL1) and an antioxidant, sigma class glutathione transferase (rFhGST-si), to examine their interactions with dendritic cells (DCs). Despite enzymatic and functional differences between these molecules, both induced interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-12p40, and macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2) secretion from DCs and enhanced CD40 expression. While this induction was mediated by Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the subsequent intracellular signaling pathways differed; rFhCL1 signaled through p38, and rFhGST-si mediated its effect via c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, p-NF-kappaBp65, and IRF5. Neither rFhCL1 nor rFhGST-si enhanced DC phagocytosis or induced Th2 immune responses in vivo. However, DCs matured in the presence of either enzyme attenuated IL-17 production from OVA peptide-specific T cells in vivo. In addition, DCs exposed to either antigen secreted reduced levels of IL-23. Therefore, both F. hepatica FhCL1 and FhGST-si modulate host immunity by suppressing responses associated with chronic inflammation-an immune modulatory mechanism that may benefit the parasite's survival within the host.

The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Pathogenesis and Treatment (1989)

Evidence suggests that several causes exist, each of which can produce the clinical syndrome by a to-and-fro interaction among pathogenic mechanisms. Treatment objectives for the syndrome include amelioration of hirsutism, induction of ovulation, and weight reduction.
Phytochemicals Against Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and the Receptor System (2016)

Reducing sugars can react non-enzymatically with amino groups of proteins and lipids to form irreversibly cross-linked macroprotein derivatives called as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Cross-linking modification of extracellular matrix proteins by AGEs deteriorate their tertiary structural integrity and function, contributing to aging-related organ damage and diabetes-associated complications, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, engagement of receptor for AGEs, RAGE with the ligands evoke oxidative stress generation and inflammatory, thrombotic and fibrotic reactions in various kinds of tissues, further exacerbating the deleterious effects of AGEs on multiple organ systems. So the AGE-RAGE axis is a novel therapeutic target for numerous devastating disorders. Several observational studies have shown the association of dietary consumption of fruits and vegetables with the reduced risk of CVD in a general population. Although beneficial effects of fruits and vegetables against CVD could mainly be ascribed to its anti-oxidative properties, blockade of the AGERAGE axis by phytochemicals may also contribute to cardiovascular event protection. Therefore, in this review, we focus on 4 phytochemicals (quercetin, sulforaphane, iridoids, and curcumin) and summarize their effects on AGE formation as well as RAGE-mediated signaling pathway in various cell types and organs, including endothelial cells, vessels, and heart.

Reduction of plasma-induced damage in SiO2 films during pulse-time-modulated plasma irradiation (2005)

Use of a pulse-time-modulated (TM) plasma is an effective way to reduce vacuum ultra-violet (VUV) radiation damage in SiO2 films because such a plasma can reduce the quantity of high-energy electrons while maintaining the electron density during the off time of the TM plasma. To understand the effects of VUV radiation, we measured the VUV-induced current in SiO2 films using a simple on-wafer monitoring technique. We found that the plasma-induced-current in the SiO2 films strongly depended on the VUV photon energy. Under the same conditions, the density of E′ centers in SiO2 films also depended on the photon energy. That is, the plasma-induced currents in the SiO2 films detected by on-wafer monitoring corresponded to the density of E′ centers (dangling bonds) in the films. By using a TM plasma, the plasma-induced current and the E′ center density in SiO2 films can be reduced during the plasma-off time. Consequently, use of a TM plasma can eliminate VUV radiation damage. These results also confirm that our developed on-wafer monitor can predict plasma-induced damage.
Three Potential Mechanisms for Failure of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation in Cardiac Tissue (2012)

This study identified 3 potential mechanisms responsible for the failure of HIFU ablation in cardiac tissues. Both acoustic radiation force and acoustic cavitation, in conjunction with inconsistent thermal deposition, can increase the risk of lesion discontinuity and result in gap sizes that promote ablation failure.
Multi-Object Tracking Using Color, Texture and Motion (2007)

In this paper, we introduce a novel real-time tracker based on color, texture and motion information. RGB color histogram and correlogram (autocorrelogram) are exploited as color cues and texture properties are represented by local binary patterns (LBP). Object's motion is taken into account through location and trajectory. After extraction, these features are used to build a unifying distance measure. The measure is utilized in tracking and in the classification event, in which an object is leaving a group. The initial object detection is done by a texture-based background subtraction algorithm. The experiments on indoor and outdoor surveillance videos show that a unified system works better than the versions based on single features. It also copes well with low illumination conditions and low frame rates which are common in large scale surveillance systems.
An obstacle avoidance algorithm for a car pulling trailers with off-axle hitching (2002)

A new algorithm is presented for planning motion among obstacles for a mobile robot system configured as a car pulling many trailers with off-axle hitching. In the special case of equal length hitches, upper bounds on the off-tracking of the trailers and hitches are the key component to the new path planning method, which only needs to plan a collision-free path for an "enlarged" lead car.

Calcium Sulfoaluminate Eco-Cement from Industrial Waste (2013)

In this paper, the potential benefits offered by calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) production from industrial wastes or by-products already present in Republic of Croatia have been addressed. A variety of industrial wastes, namely phosphogypsum (PG), coal bottom ash (BA) and electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) were used as raw materials to provide additional environmental advantages in production of CSA. Mass fraction of Ye’elimite, the principal hydraulic mineral in the prepared CSA was determined by quantitative X-ray powder diffraction. Calculated phase composition based on 18 sub-systems of five-component assemblages, each containing five clinker phases, showed promising results. The hydration behavior of CSA clinkers was investigated by calorimetric and Vickers hardness tests. In conclusion, CSA production offers an alternative and feasible method of industrial waste minimization.

A Mechanism for Regulation of Melanoma Invasion (1996)

Invasion of LOX human melanoma cells involves extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and formation of cell surface invadopodia. Here we show that the ligation of alpha6beta1 by two peptides derived from the COOH-terminal globular domain of laminin-1 alpha1 chain (laminin G peptides), designated AG-10 (NPWHSIYITRFG) and AG-32 (TWYKIAFQRNRK), and antibodies against alpha6 and beta1 integrins promoted invasiveness. AG-10 and AG-32 inhibited cell adhesion on laminin, and the antibodies blocked cell adhesion on immobilized AG-10 and AG-32, suggesting that the peptides interact primarily with alpha6beta1 integrin. These soluble peptides and integrin antibodies induced invasiveness by causing an 2-3-fold increase in ECM degradation and invadopodial activity independently of adhesion activity of integrins that were prebound to ECM. The induced ECM degradation and invasion was associated with an increased surface expression of the 170-kDa membrane-bound gelatinase, seprase, as well as its intense localization at invadopodia but not at focal adhesions. However, the total expression levels of seprase, gelatinase A and beta1 integrins were not altered. We suggest that laminin G peptides act on the alpha6beta1 integrin signaling of invasion by stimulating invadopodial activities, which is distinct from their direct effects on cell adhesion on immobilized ECM.
Evaluating MoodPic - a Concept for Collaborative Mood Music Playlist Creation (2013)

This paper studies a MoodPic concept and a prototype implementation enabling collaborative creation of mood picture based musical play lists, evaluated qualitatively with 30 Finnish participants. In general, MoodPic was found to be a successful concept and stated to add novel experiences to music listening. Accessing music through mood pictures was highly appreciated and seen as a good way to discover new music over the genre boundaries and receive music recommendations from real users based on their mood picture interpretation. Sorting music based on mood pictures instead of genres was seen as an interesting and easy way to interact with music. Based on the interview results, this paper introduces several ideas for further improving the music listening experience using mood pictures as a basis for play lists. This paper summarizes the main findings and proposes an extensive set of generalized design implications to take into account when designing solutions for social music discovery.
Pulmonary Vasodilation by Ketamine Is Mediated in Part by L-Type Calcium Channels (1998)

We studied the effects of ketamine in the isolated rat lung under conditions of increased pulmonary arterial pressure using the thromboxane A2 mimic, U46619, and in response to ventilatory hypoxia.Ketamine caused dose-dependent vasodilation, and possible mechanisms were evaluated using verapamil, meclofenamate, Nomega-L-nitro-L-arginine benzyl ester (an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase), and U-38883A (an ATP-sensitive potassium channel antagonist) in the isolated blood-perfused rat lung. Under increased tone conditions, Nomega-L-nitro-L-arginine benzyl ester, meclofenamate, and U-38883A had no significant effect in attenuating ketamine-induced vasodilator responses. In a final series of experiments, verapamil significantly attenuated ketamine-induced vasodilator responses. These data suggest that ketamine has significant vasodilator activity in the pulmonary vascular bed of the rat, which seems to be mediated by an L-type calcium channel-sensitive pathway. These responses are not mediated or modulated by the release of nitric oxide, the activation of K+ ATP channels, or the release of vasodilator cyclooxygenase products. Implications: In this study, we examined the mechanism of the vasodilator effects of ketamine in the blood-perfused rat lung. The results of the present study suggest that ketamine-induced vasodilator responses are mediated by an L-type calcium channel-sensitive pathway. (Anesth Analg 1998;87:956-62)
A Bayesian Reliability Growth Model for Computer Software (1973)

A Bayesian reliability growth model is presented which includes special features designed to reproduce special properties of the growth in reliability of an item of computer software (program). The model treats the situation where the program is sufficiently complete to work for continuous time periods between failures, and gives a repair rule for the action of the programmer at such failures. Analysis is based entirely upon the length of the periods of working between repairs and failures, and does not attempt to take account of the internal structure of the program. Methods of inference about the parameters of the model are discussed.
