Dépoussiérage et dévésiculage (2001)

L'épuration des gaz et des fumées, qu’il s’agisse d’un dépoussiérage ou d’un dévésiculage, est un problème qui revient dans grand nombre de procédés industriels (génération d’énergie, secteur pétrolier, cimenteries…). L’équipement pour la séparation de vésicules liquides ou de particules solides doit répondre aux exigences en termes de performances, de coûts opératoires, d'investissement et doit être compatible avec les contraintes du procédé. Ce choix est complexe, déjà parce qu’il implique la connaissance de la nature de la suspension et des caractéristiques des séparateurs, mais aussi parce qu’il doit respecter les réglementations de plus en plus imposantes en matière de dépollution.
The role of amputation as an outcome measure in cellular therapy for critical limb ischemia: implications for clinical trial design (2011)

BMAC shows promise in improving AMP-free survival if the trends in this pilot study are validated in a larger pivotal trial. The difference in amp rate between Rutherford 4 & 5 patients suggests that these patients should be stratified in future RCTs.
Origin of differences in susceptibility of <i>Candida krusei</i> to azole antifungal agents (1995)

Two Candida krusei isolates were used to compare the effects of fluconazole, ketoconazole and itraconazole on growth and ergosterol synthesis, and to measure intracellular drug contents. Fifty per cent inhibition (IC50) of growth was achieved at 0.05-0.08 microM itraconazole and 0.56-1.2 microM ketoconazole, whereas 91-->100 microM fluconazole was needed to reach the IC50 value. Similar differences in sensitivity to these azole antifungal agents were seen when their effects on ergosterol synthesis from [14C]acetate were measured after 4 h and 24 h of growth. However, when the effects of the azoles on ergosterol synthesis from [14C]mevalonate by subcellular fractions were measured, fluconazole was only 2.3-6.1 times less active than itraconazole, and the IC50 values for ketoconazole were almost similar to those obtained with itraconazole. These results indicate that differences in susceptibility to itraconazole and ketoconazole are unrelated to differences in affinity for the C. krusei cytochrome P450. The much lower growth-inhibitory effects of fluconazole can also be explained partly only by a lower affinity for the P450-dependent 14 alpha-demethylase. The differences in sensitivity of both C. krusei isolates appeared to arise from differences in the intracellular itraconazole, ketoconazole and fluconazole contents. Depending on the experimental conditions, these isolates accumulated 6-41 times more itraconazole than ketoconazole and the intracellular ketoconazole content was 3.0-19.0 times higher than that of fluconazole.
Multifunctional Bile Acid Derivatives as Efficient RNA Transporters (Carriers) (2016)

Multifunctional Bile Acid Derivatives as Efficient RNA Transporters (Carriers) Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) is an emerging technology that is revolutionizing many strategic approaches to biochemical pathway analysis, drug discovery, and therapy. The siRNA can be used to suppress a specific target. Even though these molecules may have potential and strong utility function, many limitations make their clinical application difficult, including delivery problems, side effects due to off-target actions, disturbance of physiological functions of the cellular machinery involved in gene silencing, and induction of the innate immune response. This paper focus on efficient RNA transports using designed carriers, guanidine steroids. It presents the synthesis of guanidine substituted bile acids (cholic acid, deoxycholic acid and lithocholic acid) by a simple method with moderate yield. The guanidine substituted compounds are shown to be very efficient tools in generating cellular delivery vehicles as determined by in vitro studies using PAMPA (parallel artificial membrane permeability) assay.
Corrosion-resisting Co-Pt thin film medium for high density recording (1983)

This paper describes a new material medium for high density longitudinal recording. Sputtered Co-Pt thin films will be shown to have excellent corrosion resistance and magnetic properties. Co-Pt thin films do not need a thick overcoat like plated Co-Ni-P films do, and have higher remanent flux density than ferrite thin films.

Frequency Splitting Elimination and Cross-Coupling Rejection of Wireless Power Transfer to Multiple Dynamic Receivers (2018)

Simultaneous power transfer to multiple receiver (Rx) system is one of the key advantages of wireless power transfer (WPT) system using magnetic resonance. However, determining the optimal condition to uniformly transfer the power to a selected Rx at high efficiency is the challenging task under the dynamic environment. The cross-coupling and frequency splitting are the dominant issues present in the multiple Rx dynamic WPT system. The existing analysis is performed by considering any one issue present in the system; on the other hand, the cross coupling and frequency splitting issues are interrelated in dynamic Rx’s, which requires a comprehensive design strategy by considering both the problems. This paper proposes an optimal design of multiple Rx WPT system, which can eliminate cross coupling, frequency splitting issues and increase the power transfer efficiency (PTE) of selected Rx. The cross-coupling rejection, uniform power transfer is performed by adding an additional relay coil and independent resonance frequency tuning with capacitive compensation to each Rx unit. The frequency splitting phenomena are eliminated using non-identical transmitter (Tx) and Rx coil structure which can maintain the coupling between the coil under the critical coupling limit. The mathematical analysis of the compensation capacitance calculation and optimal Tx coil size identification is performed for the four Rx WPT system. Finite element analysis and experimental investigation are carried out for the proposed design in static and dynamic conditions.
Microstructure of Poly(lactide). Phase-Sensitive HETCOR Spectra of Poly(<i>meso</i>-lactide), Poly(<i>r</i><i>ac</i>-lactide), and Atactic Poly(lactide) (1999)

We report the synthesis and 1H, 13C{1H}, and phase-sensitive HETCOR NMR spectra of atactic poly(lactide), poly(meso-lactide) and poly(rac-lactide). The new and existing spectroscopic data are discussed in terms of four alternative explanations: (i) Kricheldorf's tetrad assignments with the presumption that the adjacent chiral units exert an asymmetric influence on chemical shifts which is propagated in opposite directions along the polymer chain for 1H and 13C nuclei, respectively, (ii) alternative tetrad assignments we have recently proposed, (iii) assignments based on pentad stereosequences, and (iv) assignments based on the observation of triad and pentad stereosequences rather than tetrads. We show that the available data are insufficient to unequivocally distinguish between explanations i or iv.
Intent-based networks for 6G: Insights and challenges (2020)

Intent-Based Networks (IBNs), which are originally proposed to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks, can effectively solve the challenges of traditional networks in terms of efficiency, flexibility, and security. IBNs are mainly used to transform users’ business intent into network configuration, operation, and maintenance strategies, which are prominent for designing the AI-enabled 6G networks. In particular, in order to meet the massive, intelligent service demands and overcome the time-varying radio propagation, IBNs can continuously learn and adapt to the time-varying network environment based on the massive collected network data in real-time. From the aspects of both the core network and radio access network, this article comprehensively surveys the architectures and key techniques of IBNs for 6G. In particular, the demonstration platforms of IBNs, such as the Apstra Operating System, Forward Networks Verification Platform, and One Convergence Service Interaction Platform, are presented. Moreover, the industrial development of IBNs is elaborated, including the emerging new products and startups to solve the problems of open data platforms, automated network operations, and preemptive network fault diagnosis. Finally, several open issues and challenges are identified as well to spur future researches.
Integration of wireless LAN and 3G wireless - Security aspects of 3g-wlan interworking (2003)

Third-generation cellular systems will provide wide coverage and nearly universal roaming, but will not realistically live up to the bit rate expectations placed on them. On the other hand, WLAN systems already offer bit rates surpassing those of 3G systems, but are often found lacking with respect to roaming and mobility support. In short, WLAN systems are great for hot spot coverage, while 3G systems provide global coverage and the necessary network and management infrastructure to cater for security, roaming, and charging requirements. The focus of the article is on security aspects of 3GPP-WLAN interworking.
The CIE 1976 Color‐Difference Formulae (1977)

The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) has recommended the use of two approximately uniform color spaces and associated color‐difference formulae chosen from among several of similar merit to promote uniformity of practice. In this paper, the various features of the two formulae are discussed and compared. It is shown that the two are approximately equal in their degree of agreement with visual judgements of color difference. Choice of which formula to use in a particular situation will often depend not so much on scientific merit as on other factors such as familiarity and conformance to common practice in a particular industry or group.
Structural Changes of Gut Microbiota during Berberine-Mediated Prevention of Obesity and Insulin Resistance in High-Fat Diet-Fed Rats (2012)

Berberine, a major pharmacological component of the Chinese herb Coptis chinensis, which was originally used to treat bacterial diarrhea, has recently been demonstrated to be clinically effective in alleviating type 2 diabetes. In this study, we revealed that berberine effectively prevented the development of obesity and insulin resistance in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed rats, which showed decreased food intake. Increases in the levels of serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and leptin and decrease in the serum level of adiponectin corrected for body fat in HFD-fed rats were also significantly retarded by the co-administration of berberine at 100 mg/kg body weight. Bar-coded pyrosequencing of the V3 region of 16S rRNA genes revealed a significant reduction in the gut microbiota diversity of berberine-treated rats. UniFrac principal coordinates analysis revealed a marked shift of the gut microbiota structure in berberine-treated rats away from that of the controls. Redundancy analysis identified 268 berberine-responding operational taxonomic units (OTUs), most of which were essentially eliminated, whereas a few putative short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, including Blautia and Allobaculum, were selectively enriched, along with elevations of fecal SCFA concentrations. Partial least square regression models based on these 268 OTUs were established (Q(2)>0.6) for predicting the adiposity index, body weight, leptin and adiponectin corrected for body fat, indicating that these discrete phylotypes might have a close association with the host metabolic phenotypes. Taken together, our findings suggest that the prevention of obesity and insulin resistance by berberine in HFD-fed rats is at least partially mediated by structural modulation of the gut microbiota, which may help to alleviate inflammation by reducing the exogenous antigen load in the host and elevating SCFA levels in the intestine.
Application of sericite to LWC coatings (2008)

Sericite is a mica mineral locally produced from the east coast of Taiwan. It carries high negative charges on its plate surfaces and has a high aspect ratio that might be useful for adjusting water retention values and the viscosity of coating colors. In this study, we partially or totally replaced delaminated clay in a lightweight coating (LWC) formulation with sericite and examined the resulting effects on the optical and printing properties of the coating colors and coated sheets. The water retention value (WRV) of the color decreased with increasing amounts of sericite substitution, reflecting an increase in water retention of the color by about 30%. Low shear viscosities decreased with increasing amounts of sericite substitution, while high shear viscosities showed a V-shaped response, suggesting an increase in the elasticity of the coating color under high shear conditions. Among the coated paper properties, the addition of sericite raised the opacity of the sheet. The brightness of the coated sheets, however, decreased linearly with increasing sericite substitution. When sericite was applied, notable swelling and delamination effects occurred during the preparation of the coating color.

Tuberculosis: old reasons for a new increase? (1995)

Notifications of tuberculosis have increased in England and Wales over the past few years, as in other European countries and the United States.1 2 3 An estimated 8000 extra cases occurred between 1982 and 1993 in England and Wales, but the 95% confidence interval is wide (3000 to 12000).1 At least part of the increase may be an artefact—for example, the creation of consultants in communicable disease control in 1988, together with local initiatives (such as that described by Brown and colleagues (p 974),4 may have resulted in a substantial fall in the undernotification previously reported in several areas.5 The increase in notifications has been largely for non-respiratory tuberculosis,1 in which the new consultants may have had their biggest impact—undernotification is more likely in specialties other than respiratory medicine. On the other hand, evidence exists that undernotification of tuberculosis, particularly in association with HIV infection, is still common.6

Reducing disk power consumption in servers with DRPM (2003)

Although effective techniques exist for tackling disk power for laptops and workstations, applying them in a server environment presents a considerable challenge, especially under stringent performance requirements. Using a dynamic rotations per minute approach to speed control in server disk arrays can provide significant savings in I/O system power consumption without lessening performance.
Photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formate mediated by ruthenium bipyridine complexes as homogeneous catalysts (1985)

Visible light irradiation of Ru(bipy)3Cl2(bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) in dimethylformamide–triethanolamine medium containing carbon dioxide, leads to efficient and preferential reduction of the latter to formate.
Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Vector Therapy of Breast Cancer in C3(1)/SV40 T-antigen Transgenic Mice (2005)

Abstract Oncolytic herpes simplex virus vectors are a promising strategy for cancer therapy, as direct cytotoxic agents, inducers of antitumor immune responses, and as expressers of anticancer genes. Progress is dependent upon representative preclinical models to evaluate therapy. In this study, two families of oncolytic herpes simplex virus vectors (G207 and NV1020 series) that have been in clinical trials were examined for the treatment of breast cancer, using the C3(1)/T-Ag transgenic mouse model. Female mice spontaneously develop mammary carcinomas, and the C3(1)/T-Ag–derived tumor cell line M6c forms implantable tumors. Both in vitro and in vivo, G47Δ, derived from G207 by deletion of ICP47 and the US11 promoter, was more efficacious than G207. Whereas NV1023, derived from NV1020 by deletion of ICP47 and insertion of LacZ, was as cytotoxic to M6c cells in vitro as G47Δ, it did not inhibit the growth of s.c. M6c tumors but did extend the survival of intracerebral tumor bearing mice. In contrast, NV1042, NV1023 expressing interleukin 12, inhibited s.c. M6c tumor growth to a similar extent as G47Δ, but was less effective than NV1023 in intracerebral tumors. In the spontaneously arising mammary tumor model, when only the first arising tumor per mouse was treated, G47Δ inhibited the growth of a subset of tumors, and when all tumors were treated, G47Δ significantly delayed tumor progression. When the first mammary tumor was treated and the remaining mammary glands removed, NV1042 was more efficacious than G47Δ at inhibiting the growth and progression of injected tumors.
Real-time localization of mobile targets using abnormal wireless signals (2017)

Real-time localization of mobile target has been attracted much attention in recent years. With the limitation of unavailable GPS signals in the complex environments, wireless sensor networks can be applied to real-time locate and track the mobile targets in this paper. The multi wireless signals are used to weaken the effect of abnormal wireless signals in some areas. To verify the real-time localization performance for mobile targets, experiments and analyses are implemented. The results of the experiments reflect that the proposed location method can provide experimental basis for the applications, such as the garage, shopping center, underwater, etc.
Composition for harpsichord (1973)

This composition is a work for harpsichord (two players), flute, clarinet, violoncello and tape. In four sections, interspersed by three electronic interludes, the timbral interplay among the four live instruments is exploited, with particular emphasis being given to the sonic effects achieved by the careful manipulation of the interior of the harpsichord. As such, the two harpsichord players have distinctive roles in the ensemble: one of them operates the manuals in a more or less conventional fashion, while the other performs precisely indicated functions inside the instrument.The novelty of the latter activity has necessitated the invention of a few new notational symbols, which are employed throughout the score, Another uncommon notational device is the omission of bar lines, in an attempt to express the independence of contrapuntal lines within the piece.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
Fabrication of WDM-PON OLT Source using External Cavity Laser (2006)

A very compact 16-channel 200 GHz-spacing transmitter module was fabricated for wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM-PON) optical line termination (OLT) source. The transmitters are composed of reflection gratings and hybrid integrated superluminescent laser diodes (SLD) to construct 16-channel external cavity lasers (ECLs) on the planar lightwave circuit (PLC) chip.
<title>Development of diagnostic algorithms for image analysis of skin lesions</title> (1997)

The crucial step in the diagnostic treatment of skin cancer is the initial examination and detection of any unusual change of a skin lesion. Digital imaging permits the documentation of the size, shape and color of lesions and their later comparison, so the last years its key role as an adjunct to early malignant melanoma diagnosis has arisen. In this work, a novel approach to diagnosis is presented by developing a digital imaging system for capturing and processing the images of individual lesions. It was used a 12 bit CCD camera, connected with a Pentium PC equipped with a Matrox frame grabber and convenient software. Images were collected using a zoom close up lens and a light source, attached to the front of the CCD camera. The format of the images was 640 X 480 pixels with 8 bit color table. The border of the lesion was found using a region growing based algorithm combined with the Gradient Operator. It was calculated the border irregularity and the asymmetry of the lesion, using the compactness formula. There was developed algorithms based on thresholding and region growing to determine the borders of the lesion. Compactness has been calculated as well. The pre-prototype system has been placed at the National Cancer Hospital to support melanoma diagnosis.
Couch-Based Target Alignment (2011)

For many years, developments for target alignment in radiation therapy were focused on beam shaping and radiation source positioning technologies (Sawant 2008; Seppenwoolde 2007). Recent developments in treatment couch technology have led to a surge in couch-based target alignment methods (Figure 6.1). New treatment couches are fully automated, more accurate, faster, and, in some cases, capable of exhibiting more degrees of freedom in patient positioning than their predecessors. Such developments have expanded the role of the treatment couch in radiation therapy.
