User‐engaged app development: Building better apps for the vineyard (2017)

ABSTRACT Wine scientists and industry organisations are increasingly creating mobile web applications (apps) to support vineyard management and monitoring. While such tools are intended to improve wine industry practices, embedding user testing and user experience design in app development has not been implemented. User‐focused design is essential for determining the need for new apps, for assessing the effectiveness of existing tools and to optimize usability. This poster presents the results from an exploratory, interdisciplinary study drawing on information science theory and best practices to examine vineyard managers' and grape growers' experiences with two apps: Fit Vine and VitiCanopy. This study used hands‐on exploration of users' experiences with the apps in the vineyards to assess the usefulness of these tools from the users' perspective. Results include the need for consistent intuitive navigation, which is necessary to address a range of users' technological literacy levels; the need for help features to be integrated into the primary interface, which guides the users' experience; and, tools that provide added value to the work practices of users in vineyards in order to influence decision making. The results underscore the importance of involving wine industry members throughout the app‐ building process.
Off-target effects of epidermal growth factor receptor antagonists mediate retinal ganglion cell disinhibited axon growth (2009)

Inhibition of central nervous system axon growth is reportedly mediated in part by calcium-dependent phosphorylation of axonal epidermal growth factor receptor, with local administration of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitors AG1478 and PD168393 to an optic nerve lesion site promoting adult retinal ganglion cell axon regeneration. Here, we show that epidermal growth factor receptor was neither constitutively expressed, nor activated in optic nerve axons in our non-regenerating and regenerating optic nerve injury models, a finding that is inconsistent with phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor-dependent intra-axonal signalling of central nervous system myelin-related axon growth inhibitory ligands. However, epidermal growth factor receptor was localized and activated within most glia in the retina and optic nerve post-injury, and thus an indirect glial-dependent mechanism for stimulated retinal ganglion cell axon growth by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors seemed plausible. Using primary retinal cultures with added central nervous system myelin extracts, we confirmed previous reports that AG1478/PD168393 blocks epidermal growth factor receptor activation and promotes disinhibited neurite outgrowth. Paradoxically, neurites did not grow in central nervous system myelin extract-containing cultures after short interfering ribonucleic acid-mediated knockdown of epidermal growth factor receptor. However, addition of AG1478 restored neurite outgrowth to short interfering ribonucleic acid-treated cultures, implying that epidermal growth factor receptor does not mediate AG1478-dependent effects. TrkA-/B-/C-Fc fusion proteins and the kinase blocker K252a abrogated the neuritogenic activity in these cultures, correlating with the presence of the neurotrophins brain derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3 in the supernatant and increased intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate activity. Neurotrophins released by AG1478 stimulated disinhibited retinal ganglion cell axon growth in central nervous system myelin-treated cultures by the induction of regulated intramembraneous proteolysis of p75(NTR) and Rho inactivation. Retinal astrocytes/Müller cells and retinal ganglion cells were the source of neurotrophins, with neurite outgrowth halved in the presence of glial inhibitors. We attribute AG1478-stimulated neuritogenesis to the induced release of neurotrophins together with raised cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels in treated cultures, leading to axon growth and disinhibition by neurotrophin-induced regulated intramembraneous proteolysis of p75(NTR). These off-target effects of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibition suggest a novel therapeutic approach for designing treatments to promote central nervous system axon regeneration.
The<i>Arabidopsis COMATOSE</i>locus regulates germination potential (2000)

Mutation of the COMATOSE locus in Arabidopsis results in a marked reduction in germination potential. Whilst the morphology of comatose (cts) embryos is not altered, physiological analysis reveals that mature cts seeds do not respond to gibberellin. Prolonged chilling of imbibed seeds only partially restores germination potential, and seeds do not after ripen. Genetic analysis shows that the cts phenotype is expressed in the embryo and phenotypic differences between wild-type and mutant plants were not observed during other stages of plant growth and development. Therefore cts represents a new class of mutant, with a specific lesion that results in severely impaired germination potential. Genetic interactions were analysed between cts and loci that regulate embryo maturation, and abscisic acid biosynthesis and perception. Results from these studies showed that the cts mutant phenotype required the wild-type action of these loci, and suggested that CTS exerts a repressive function on these loci. A model is presented postulating that CTS promotes increased germination potential, and represses embryo dormancy. These functions of CTS may result in the removal of embryo dormancy as a prerequisite to germination.
Genetically Engineered Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration (2004)

Therapeutic angiogenesis/vasculogenesis represents a new approach to treat patients with ischemic disease not curable with conventional treatment. This review focuses on the rationale and preliminary results of combining stem cell and gene therapy for regenerative medicine. Under disease conditions, impaired neovascularization results from diminished vascular growth factor production and primary dysfunction of endothelial cells and their progenitors. Advances in our ability to genetically manipulate cells ex vivo has provided the technological platform to implement stem cell biology and circumvent the potential hazard of direct gene transfer. Ex vivo engineered endothelial progenitor cells have been used for the treatment of peripheral limb ischemia. The approach eliminates the drawback of immune response against viral vectors and makes feasible repeating the therapeutic procedure in case of injury recurrence. The strategy of using stem cells as vectors for curative agents proved to be of value for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and thrombosis. Transplantation of neural stem cells genetically modified to secrete nerve growth factor was able to ameliorate the death of striatal projection neurons caused by transient focal ischemia in the adult rat. By a similar approach, engineered neural stem cells might be used for treating neurodegenerative disorders. Therefore, genetic manipulation of stem cells opens new avenues for regenerative medicine.

ROSE BENGAL AGGREGATION IN RATIONALLY SYNTHESIZED DIMERIC SYSTEMS (1988)

Abstract— Rose Bengal derivatives (I‐VI) have been synthesized as part of a program to study the spectroscopy of model systems for Hpd dimer. The absorption and emission spectra as a function of solvent are diagnostic for the formation of aggregated conformers. Based on our spectroscopic results we conclude that these compounds exist in open conformation in ethanol and other organic solvents, and that they form intramolecular dimers in aqueous solution.
Foundations and applications of artificial Intelligence for zero-day and multi-step attack detection (2018)

Behind firewalls, more and more cybersecurity attacks are specifically targeted to the very network where they are taking place. This review proposes a comprehensive framework for addressing the challenge of characterising novel complex threats and relevant counter-measures. Two kinds of attacks are particularly representative of this issue: zero-day attacks that are not publicly disclosed and multi-step attacks that are built of several individual steps, some malicious and some benign. Two main approaches are developed in the artificial intelligence field to track these attacks: statistics and machine learning. Statistical approaches include rule-based and outlier-detection-based solutions. Machine learning includes the detection of behavioural anomalies and event sequence tracking. Applications of artificial intelligence cover the field of intrusion detection, which is typically performed online, and security investigation, performed offline.
Donor leukocyte infusions for chronic myeloid leukemia relapsed after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. (1993)

Infusion of donor leukocytes is an effective treatment with a low mortality in patients with CML relapsed after BMT with a T-cell-depleted graft. Longer follow-up and more patients will be needed to know whether cure will be permanent.
Effects of Nanodomain Formation on the Electronic Structure of Doped Carbon Nanotubes (1998)

Changes in the electronic structure of multiwalled nanotubes due to the introduction of boron in the lattice are identified using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Doped tubes are metallic with no apparent band gap, in contrast to undoped tubes with varying electronic character. Combined with ab initio calculations, we show that changes in the local density of states, as determined from tunneling spectroscopy, must be interpreted in terms of nanodomains of dopant islands and not as isolated substitutional species.

Localization and map building using laser range sensors in outdoor applications (2000)

This paper presents the design of a high accuracy outdoor navigation system based on standard dead reckoning sensors and laser range and bearing information. The data validation problem is addressed using laser intensity information. The beacon design aspect and location of landmarks are also discussed in relation to desired accuracy and required area of operation. The results are important for simultaneous localization and map building applications (SLAM), since the feature extraction and validation are resolved at the sensor level using laser intensity. This facilitates the use of additional natural landmarks to improve the accuracy of the localization algorithm. The modelling aspects to implement SLAM with beacons and natural features are also presented. These results are of fundamental importance because the implementation of the algorithm does not require the surveying of beacons. Furthermore we demonstrate that by using natural landmarks accurate localization can be achieved by only requiring the initial estimate of the position of the vehicle. The algorithms are validated in outdoor environments using a standard utility car retrofitted with the navigation sensors and a 1 cm precision Kinematic GPS used as ground truth. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Electrical Characteristics of Lithium‐Doped ZnO Films (1989)

Consistent attempts are being made to improve the resistivity of zinc oxide films for operating monolithic surface acoustic wave devices at low operational frequencies. This paper highlights a technique for diffusing lithium which is more viable, cleaner, and more compatible with silicon processing. Lithium is doped by bubbling oxygen through saturated solution at different temperatures. Infrared and Auger electron spectroscopy reveal Li‐O peaks. films with C‐axis were deposited on grown on single crystal silicon by RF magnetron sputtering. Resistivities of doped films at room temperature are one to two orders of magnitude higher than undoped films. These results are interpreted as a reduction in the donor states in , as Zn with its electron is ejected out. interface charges which are induced due to radiation effects during sputtering are annealed out during lithium doping, followed by an oxygen anneal.
Identification of memory polynomial nonlinear models for RF power amplifiers with a systolic array based QRD-RLS algorithm (2008)

A traditional systolic array based QRD-RLS algorithm is modified in this paper so that the model parameters of a memory polynomial nonlinear model for RF power amplifiers can be extracted from the measurement data directly. The experimental validation results reveal that the systolic array based QRD-RLS algorithm can accurately identify the model parameters of the memory polynomial model for the class-AB LDMOS power amplifier.
The prognostic significance of immunophenotype in high‐grade non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma (1989)

The prognostic value of immunophenotyping lymphomas was assessed by studying 51 cases of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for which long term clinical follow-up (14-28 years) was available. Using antibodies which identify T- and B-cell-related antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material, 43 were shown to be of B-cell and eight of T-cell phenotype. In terms of survival, cases of high-grade T-cell lymphoma fared significantly worse (P less than 0.05) than cases of high-grade B-cell subtype. These findings support the belief that T-cell lymphomas have a more aggressive clinical course than their B-cell counterparts.

Differential Expression and Cross-Regulatory Function of RANTES During Mycobacterial (Type 1) and Schistosomal (Type 2) Antigen-Elicited Granulomatous Inflammation (1999)

Abstract The role of RANTES in Th1 and Th2 cell-mediated immune responses has been enigmatic. To approach this question, we analyzed RANTES expression and function in murine models of types 1 and 2 cell-mediated pulmonary granulomas elicited with Mycobacterium bovis or Schistosoma mansoni egg Ag-coated beads, respectively. Compared with type 2, type 1 lesions had up to 4-fold greater RANTES protein and mRNA production. Type 1 draining lymph nodes also produced up to 7-fold higher levels of RANTES. Anti-RANTES Ab treatments had opposite effects, decreasing type 1 lesion area by 25% and augmenting type 2 lesions by 50%. The latter was associated with increased IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13 production by lymph nodes. Infusion of rRANTES (1 mg/kg/day) did not affect type 1 lesions, but reduced type 2 lesion area by 27% and eosinophils by 40%. Lymph node cultures from RANTES-treated mice had augmented type 1 and impaired type 2 responses. In vitro, RANTES caused selective, dose-related inhibition of IL-4 that was largely dependent on CCR1 receptors. In conclusion, RANTES plays different roles in types 1 and 2 granuloma formation, promoting the former and mediating cross-regulatory inhibition of the latter. Moreover, RANTES may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of established type 2 hypersensitivity.
A generalized Forney formula for algebraic-geometric codes (1996)

This correspondence contains a straightforward generalization of decoding of BCH codes to the decoding of algebraic-geometric codes, couched in terms of varieties, ideals, and Grobner bases. This consists of 1) a Berlekamp-Massey-type lattice-shifting row-reduction algorithm with majority voting similar to algorithms in the current literature, 2) a realization that it produces a minimal Grobner basis B for the error-locator ideal I(V) relative to a particular weighted total degree monomial ordering, 3) a factoring of that basis into several minimal PLEX bases, that facilitates finding the variety V of error positions, and 4) a direct generalization of Forney's formula to calculate error magnitudes using functions /spl sigma/p, which are by-products of this factoring.
Sex Transvestism and Education of the Only Child (2010)

As a special group of the society, only children are concerned by the whole society for their mental and physical development and their education. Childhood is the time when individuals begin to form their recognition of sex. But the education on this has not been especially regarded. Some children even have the problem of sex transvestism. In this paper, I will introduce my opinion on how to help children build up a correct cognition on sex, develop multiple behavior patterns for different sex roles, and adapt to the society more smoothly. Key words: only child, sex cognition, role transvestism, education Resume: Les enfants uniques sont un groupe social special, leur developpement physique et mental ainsi que le probleme de leur education ont attire l’attention generale de la societe. L’enfance est l’epoque cle de la formation du role sexuel de l’individu, mais l’education sur le role sexuel n’est pas tenue en compte depuis longtemps, le pire est que le transsexualisme apparait chez certains enfants. Il nous faut instaurer la conception correcte du role sexuel des enfants, developper de multiples modeles de comportement sur le role sexuel, afin d’aider les enfants uniques a mieux s’adapter au changement de l’environnement social.

Residue and Release of Antioxidants and Ultraviolet Stabilizers in Polyethylene Products in Contact with Foodstuffs. (1997)

The residue and release of 28 kinds of antioxidants and ultraviolet stabilizers in polyethylene products were investigated. The samples included a total of 36 kinds of kitchenware, e. g., bags, wrapping films, sauce bottles and a chopping board, and a total of 16 food-packages, e. g., bags, cases, nets and a tube. They were analyzed using the simultaneous determination method with HPLC. Most samples contained 1-3 antioxidants, mainly Irganox 1076, Irgafos 168, BHT and Irganox 1010. The residue level was about 50-1, 000μg/g. The migration test was carried out using high-residue samples. No additives were released into water, 20% ethanol or 4% acetic acid at 60°C after 30min, though some additives were released into n-heptane at 25°C after 60min.
Isolation, Purification, and Molecular-Weight Determination of Serum Immunoglobulin from<i>Oreochromis aureus</i> (1993)

Techniques for the isolation and purification of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) from fish are presented. By inducing a specific fish antibody and purifying the antibody by affinity chromatography, the major Ig class of an economically important group of fish was partially characterized. Immunoglobulin of an IgM-like class from the serum of a tilapine fish, Oreochromis aureus, was determined to have a molecular weight between 780,000 and 788,000. After the O. aureus serum Ig was reduced, the molecular weight of its heavy chain was estimated by means of electrophoretic analysis (SDS-PAGE) to be about 77,000, and its distinct light chains had estimated molecular weights of 21,500 and 20,500. Rabbit antiserum to the affinity-purified O. aureus serum Ig did not react with sera from distantly related species of fish, including rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, striped bass Morone saxatilis, goldfish Carassius auratus, and some Central and South American cichlids; however, the Ig did cross-react with sera from more closely related African cichlids, including some species in the genera Oreochromis, Haplochromis, and Pseudotropheus
Analysis of multilayer thin-film structures containing magneto-optic and anisotropic media at oblique incidence using 2×2 matrices (1990)

A complete analysis of multilayer structures containing an arbitrary number of dielectric, metal, magnetic, and birefringent/dichroic layers is presented. An algorithm, based on simple 2×2 matrices, is derived which allows reflection, transmission, absorption, magneto-optic conversion, birefringence, and dichroism of the structure to be computed on a personal computer. The incident beam is assumed to be plane monochromatic with arbitrary angle of incidence. There are no approximations involved, and the results are direct consequences of Maxwell’s equations.
Carrier-Envelope Phase-Controlled Quantum Interference of Injected Photocurrents in Semiconductors (2004)

We demonstrate quantum interference control of injected photocurrents in a semiconductor using the phase stabilized pulse train from a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. Measurement of the comb offset frequency via this technique results in a signal-to-noise ratio of 40 dB (10 Hz resolution bandwidth), enabling solid-state detection of carrier-envelope phase shifts of a Ti:sapphire oscillator.
Linear Servo Theory (1946)

The servo system is a special type of feedback amplifier, usually including a mixture of electrical, mechanical, thermal, or hydraulic circuits. With suitable design, the behavior of these various circuits can be described in the universal language of linear systems. Further, if the servo system is treated in terms of circuit response to sinusoidally varying signals, it then becomes possible to draw upon the wealth of linear feedback amplifier design based on frequency analysis.
