A flux-based stoichiometric model of enhanced biological phosphorus removal metabolism (1998)

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) in wastewater treatment involves metabolic cycling through the biopolymers polyphosphate (polyP), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and glycogen. This cycling is induced through treatment systems that alternate between carbon-rich anaerobic and carbon-poor aerobic reactor basins. While the appearance and disappearance of these biopolymers has been documented, the intracellular pressures that regulate their synthesis and degradation are not well understood. Current models of the EBPR process have examined a limited number of metabolic pathways that are frequently lumped into an even smaller number of “reactions.” This work, on the other hand, uses a stoichiometric model that contains a complete set of the pathways involved in bacterial biomass synthesis and energy production to examine EBPR metabolism. Using the stoichiometric model we were able to analyze the role of EBPR metabolism within the larger context of total cellular metabolism, as well as predict the flux distribution of carbon and energy fluxes throughout the total reaction network. The model was able to predict the consumption of PHB, the degradation of polyP, the uptake of acetate and the release of Pi. It demonstrated the relationship between acetate uptake and Pi release, and the effect of pH on this relationship. The model also allowed analysis of growth metabolism with respect to EBPR.
An efficient transcoding algorithm for G.723.1 and EVRC speech coders (2002)

Interoperability is one the most important factors for a successful integration of the speech network. To operate speech networks employing different speech coders, but integrated as one, bitstreams generated by one coder should be translated seamlessly to those of the other coders. Connecting two coders in tandem may be the simplest way to accomplish this. However, coders in tandem connection often produce problems such as poor speech quality, high computational load, and additional transmission delay. We propose an efficient transcoding algorithm that can provide interoperability to the networks employing ITU-T G.723.1 and TIA IS-127 EVRC speech coders. Subjective and objective quality evaluation have confirmed that the speech quality produced by the proposed transcoding algorithm was equivalent to, or better than the tandem coding, while it had shorter processing delay and less computational complexity.
Purification of the Aldehyde Oxidase Homolog 1 (AOH1) Protein and Cloning of the AOH1 and Aldehyde Oxidase Homolog 2 (AOH2) Genes (2001)

We report the cloning of the AOH1 and AOH2 genes, which encode two novel mammalian molybdo-flavoproteins. We have purified the AOH1 protein to homogeneity in its catalytically active form from mouse liver. Twenty tryptic peptides, identified or directly sequenced by mass spectrometry, confirm the primary structure of the polypeptide deduced from the AOH1 gene. The enzyme contains one molecule of FAD, one atom of molybdenum, and four atoms of iron per subunit and shows spectroscopic features similar to those of the prototypic molybdo-flavoprotein xanthine oxidoreductase. The AOH1 and AOH2 genes are 98 and 60 kilobases long, respectively, and consist of 35 coding exons. The AOH1 gene has the potential to transcribe an extra leader non-coding exon, which is located downstream of exon 26, and is transcribed in the opposite orientation relative to all the other exons. AOH1 and AOH2 map to chromosome 1 in close proximity to each other and to the aldehyde oxidase gene, forming a molybdo-flavoenzyme gene cluster. Conservation in the position of exon/intron junctions among the mouse AOH1, AOH2, aldehyde oxidase, and xanthine oxidoreductase loci indicates that these genes are derived from the duplication of an ancestral precursor.
Computational simulation and experimental verification of a new vibration-based structural health monitoring approach using piezoelectric sensors (2011)

Detection of damage in vital and high-cost infrastructures has been one of the major concerns of operators of such structures in the past two decades. The growing demands in oil and gas have forced extraction of such vital fuels in deep waters. Bolted joints are widely used in pipes transporting oil and gas in deep waters. However, they do develop in-service problems, such as loosened bolts, which if remained undetected, could cause significant environmental damage and economical loss, especially in the case of pipes used in deep-water oil extraction. In this study, the energy damage index (EDI) calculated based on a novel vibration-based damage detection methodology using the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to establish the existence of damage due to loosened bolts in common industrial bolted joints. A complete finite element (FE) model is established to simulate the whole process using the implicit dynamic solver of the commercial software ABAQUS © . Also, a comprehensive experimental program was designed and carried out to verify the FE results. Results show that the EDI based on the EMD method is a powerful tool for not only detecting the damage, but also the progression of the damage in bolted joints.

Volatile constituents of endangered species Nardostachys grandiflora DC. rhizomes from Uttarakhand Himalaya (India) (2015)

The rhizomes of Nardostachys grandiflora DC. syn. N. jatamansi DC. were collected from two alpine Himalayan locations of Uttarakhand (India). The essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine the concentration variation in their constituents. A total of 22 compounds were identified in both the oil samples, accounting 97.6-98.4 %. The major constituents of N. grandiflora oils were characterised as patchoulol (39.1-46.8 %) and calarene (15.1-21.6 %). Due to the higher relative area quantum of patchoulol in N. grandiflora populations growing in Uttarakhand, there is need to develop a propagation protocol for mass multiplication and in-situ and ex-situ conservation of N. grandiflora .
A polyphase microelectronic watt-hour meter (1980)

Abstract An analogue– digital type microelectronic polyphase watt-hout meter circuit developed in hybrid version provides a high accuracy measurement of power and energy. An accuracy of better than ± O.l% of reading was measured over a 200 : 1 dynamic range. Less than ± 0 1% error was measured with 10% variation of frequency and of line voltage ; and less than ±0.2% error was demonstrated in a temperature range of – 20°C to + 70°C. Long-term stability over a period of one and a half years was about ± 0.1% while operating under field conditions at an outside location. Hermetic encapsulation of the circuit enhances protection from failures caused by ambient effects such as high humidity. Small dimensions have electrical advantage of improved circuit performance.
Naturally Nitrogen and Calcium-Doped Nanoporous Carbon from Pine Cone with Superior CO<sub>2</sub> Capture Capacities (2016)

A highly effective nanoporous CO2 sorbent with naturally doped nitrogen and calcium elements, derived from pine-cone biomass, shows superior CO2 capture performance. The sorbent was produced from carbonization and KOH activation of dried pine cones, and possess a highly nanoporous structure with a specific surface area and a pore volume up to 2110 m2/g and 0.89 cm3/g, respectively. The highest CO2 uptake of 20.9 wt % (under 1 bar CO2 and 25°C) was achieved in a porous structure with relatively high levels of nitrogen and calcium dopants inherited from the biomass precursor. Further porosity and elemental analyses show that CO2 sorption is enhanced by both highly developed ultramicroporous structure (<0.7 nm) and well-dispersed nitrogen and metal dopants in carbon sorbents.
Collaborating Alone and Together: Investigating Persistent and Multi-User Web Search Activities (2007)

Today‟s web browsers provide limited support for rich information seeking and sharing scenarios. A survey we conducted of 204 knowledge workers at a large technology company has revealed that a large proportion of users engage in searches spanning multiple sessions and machines, and that such searches may include collaborative activities. We present the results of the survey, and then review the implications of these findings for designing new web search interfaces that provide tools for resumption of state and for sharing. Guided by the survey results, we propose a set of key collaboration features, including the importance of providing support for persistence, awareness, and division of labor.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Matrix Inhibits and Confers Cooperativity on Gag Precursor-Membrane Interactions (2004)

ABSTRACT Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag multimerization and membrane binding are required for particle formation. However, it is unclear what constitutes a minimal plasma membrane-specific targeting signal and what role the matrix (MA) globular head and other Gag domains play in membrane targeting. Here, we use membrane flotation and microscopic analysis of Gag deletion mutants to demonstrate that the HIV-1 MA globular head inhibits a plasma membrane-specific targeting signal contained within the six amino-terminal MA residues. MA-mediated inhibition is relieved by concentration-dependent Gag multimerization and imparts a high degree of cooperativity on Gag-membrane association. This cooperativity may confer temporal and spatial regulation on HIV-1 assembly.
Localized expression of sloppy paired protein maintains the polarity of Drosophila parasegments. (1994)

During germ-band extension in the Drosophila embryo, intercellular communication is required to maintain gene expression patterns initiated at cellular blastoderm. For example, the wingless (wg) single-cell-wide stripe in each parasegment (PS) is dependent on a signal from the adjacent, posterior cells, which express engrailed (eN). This signal is thought to be the hedgehog (hh) gene product, which antagonizes the activity of patched (ptc), a repressor of wg expression. Genetic evidence indicates that the hh signal is bidirectional, but wg transcription is only derepressed on the anterior side of the en/hh stripes. To explain the asymmetric response of the wg promoter to the hh signal, current models predict that each PS is divided into cells that are competent to express either wg or en, but not both. The sloppy paired (slp) locus contains two transcription units, both encoding proteins containing a forkhead domain, a DNA-binding motif. Removal of slp gene function causes embryos to exhibit a severe pair-rule/segment polarity phenotype. We show that the en stripes expand anteriorly in slp mutant embryos and that slp activity is an absolute requirement for maintenance of wg expression at the same time that wg transcription is dependent on hh. The slp proteins are expressed in broad stripes just anterior of the en-positive cells, overlapping the narrow wg stripes. We propose that by virtue of their ability to activate wg and repress en expression, the distribution of the slp proteins define the wg-competent and en-competent groups. Consistent with this hypothesis, ubiquitous expression of slp protein throughout the PS abolishes en expression and, in ptc mutant embryos, results in a near ubiquitous distribution of wg transcripts. In addition to demonstrating the role of slp in maintaining segment polarity, our results suggest that slp works in, or parallel with, the ptc/hh signal transduction pathway to regulate wg transcription.
Evaluating an acoustically quiet EPI sequence for use in fMRI studies of speech and auditory processing (2010)

Echoplanar MRI is associated with significant acoustic noise, which can interfere with the presentation of auditory stimuli, create a more challenging listening environment, and increase discomfort felt by participants. Here we investigate a scanning sequence that significantly reduces the amplitude of acoustic noise associated with echoplanar imaging (EPI). This is accomplished using a constant phase encoding gradient and a sinusoidal readout echo train to produce a narrow-band acoustic frequency spectrum, which is adapted to the scanner's frequency response function by choosing an optimum gradient switching frequency. To evaluate the effect of these nonstandard parameters we conducted a speech experiment comparing four different EPI sequences: Quiet, Sparse, Standard, and Matched Standard (using the same readout duration as Quiet). For each sequence participants listened to sentences and signal-correlated noise (SCN), which provides an unintelligible amplitude-matched control condition. We used BOLD sensitivity maps to quantify sensitivity loss caused by the longer EPI readout duration used in the Quiet and Matched Standard EPI sequences. We found that the Quiet sequence provided more robust activation for SCN in primary auditory areas and comparable activation in frontal and temporal regions for Sentences>SCN, but less sentence-related activity in inferotemporal cortex. The increased listening effort associated with the louder Standard sequence relative to the Quiet sequence resulted in increased activation in the left temporal and inferior parietal cortices. Together, these results suggest that the Quiet sequence is suitable, and perhaps preferable, for many auditory studies. However, its applicability depends on the specific brain regions of interest.
101 Labeled Brain Images and a Consistent Human Cortical Labeling Protocol (2012)

We introduce the Mindboggle-101 dataset, the largest and most complete set of free, publicly accessible, manually labeled human brain images. To manually label the macroscopic anatomy in magnetic resonance images of 101 healthy participants, we created a new cortical labeling protocol that relies on robust anatomical landmarks and minimal manual edits after initialization with automated labels. The "Desikan-Killiany-Tourville" (DKT) protocol is intended to improve the ease, consistency, and accuracy of labeling human cortical areas. Given how difficult it is to label brains, the Mindboggle-101 dataset is intended to serve as brain atlases for use in labeling other brains, as a normative dataset to establish morphometric variation in a healthy population for comparison against clinical populations, and contribute to the development, training, testing, and evaluation of automated registration and labeling algorithms. To this end, we also introduce benchmarks for the evaluation of such algorithms by comparing our manual labels with labels automatically generated by probabilistic and multi-atlas registration-based approaches. All data and related software and updated information are available on the http://mindboggle.info/data website.

Expansion of commensal fungus Wallemia mellicola in the gastrointestinal mycobiota enhances the severity of allergic airway disease in mice (2018)

The gastrointestinal microbiota influences immune function throughout the body. The gut-lung axis refers to the concept that alterations of gut commensal microorganisms can have a distant effect on immune function in the lung. Overgrowth of intestinal Candida albicans has been previously observed to exacerbate allergic airways disease in mice, but whether subtler changes in intestinal fungal microbiota can affect allergic airways disease is less clear. In this study we have investigated the effects of the population expansion of commensal fungus Wallemia mellicola without overgrowth of the total fungal community. Wallemia spp. are commonly found as a minor component of the commensal gastrointestinal mycobiota in both humans and mice. Mice with an unaltered gut microbiota community resist population expansion when gavaged with W. mellicola; however, transient antibiotic depletion of gut microbiota creates a window of opportunity for expansion of W. mellicola following delivery of live spores to the gastrointestinal tract. This phenomenon is not universal as other commensal fungi (Aspergillus amstelodami, Epicoccum nigrum) do not expand when delivered to mice with antibiotic-depleted microbiota. Mice with Wallemia-expanded gut mycobiota experienced altered pulmonary immune responses to inhaled aeroallergens. Specifically, after induction of allergic airways disease with intratracheal house dust mite (HDM) antigen, mice demonstrated enhanced eosinophilic airway infiltration, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) to methacholine challenge, goblet cell hyperplasia, elevated bronchoalveolar lavage IL-5, and enhanced serum HDM IgG1. This phenomenon occurred with no detectable Wallemia in the lung. Targeted amplicon sequencing analysis of the gastrointestinal mycobiota revealed that expansion of W. mellicola in the gut was associated with additional alterations of bacterial and fungal commensal communities. We therefore colonized fungus-free Altered Schaedler Flora (ASF) mice with W. mellicola. ASF mice colonized with W. mellicola experienced enhanced severity of allergic airways disease compared to fungus-free control ASF mice without changes in bacterial community composition.
