A laterally resonating gravimetric sensor with uniform mass sensitivity and high linearity (2011)

In this paper, a laterally resonating gravimetric sensor with high linearity and uniform mass sensitivity is presented for biochemical sensor applications including rare-cell detection. The sensor utilizes symmetrically placed, balanced, folded spring beam structures to ensure lateral motion of the proof mass and limit the displacement difference between the proof mass center and edges. The dynamic mass sensitivity range of the resonator is increased by using the above mentioned properties of the resonators. It has been experimentally verified that the standard deviation in resonance frequency shift is 1.9% for different capture sites. It has also been experimentally shown that the sensors behave highly linearly for mass loads between 13 pg and 2700 pg.
Continuous light may induce photosynthetic downregulation in onion – consequences for growth and biomass partitioning (2005)

Onions were grown in environmentally controlled growth chambers for 85 days to investigate the effect of relatively low light intensity (350 µmol m −2 s −1 ) at two different total irradiance periods (12‐h and 24‐h photoperiods) on growth and photosynthetic performance. To test whether photosynthetic downregulation occurred due to carbohydrate feedback, we used onions that differed in bulb‐forming capacity. Allium fistulosum (L. cv. ‘Kinka’) is a non‐bulbing onion, with potentially limited carbohydrate storage capacity, while Allium cepa (L. cv. ‘Cal 296’) is a bulb‐forming onion with possibly greater carbohydrate storage capacity. In A . fistulosum , photosynthetic downregulation was observed in 24‐h plants as indicated by reductions in the light‐ and CO 2 ‐saturated photosynthetic capacity ( A sat and A max , respectively) by 26%, reduced maximum rate of carboxylation ( V cmax ) by ribulose‐1,5‐biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) by 33%, reduced maximum rate of electron transport ( J max ) by 27% and 3‐fold higher foliar sugar concentration. In contrast, the photosynthetic and biochemical capacity of A . cepa was not affected by exposure to 24‐h photoperiod, presumably because substantial amounts of foliar carbohydrates were re‐allocated to bulbs. In 24‐h A . cepa , up to 84% of total plant mass was allocated to bulbs, while in 12‐h plants, more mass was allocated to leaves. Production of greater leaf area in 12‐h plants compared with 24‐h plants compensated for lower total daily irradiance such that 12‐h and 24‐h plants of both species exhibited similar daily total leaf net CO 2 exchange and plant mass at the end of the experiment.
Sugar Control of the Plant Cell Cycle: Differential Regulation of<i>Arabidopsis</i>D-Type Cyclin Gene Expression (2000)

In most plants, sucrose is the major transported carbon source. Carbon source availability in the form of sucrose is likely to be a major determinant of cell division, and mechanisms must exist for sensing sugar levels and mediating appropriate control of the cell cycle. We show that sugar availability plays a major role during the G(1) phase by controlling the expression of CycD cyclins in Arabidopsis. CycD2 mRNA levels increase within 30 min of the addition of sucrose; CycD3 is induced after 4 h. This corresponds to induction of CycD2 expression early in G(1) and CycD3 expression in late G(1) near the S-phase boundary. CycD2 and CycD3 induction is independent both of progression to a specific point in the cell cycle and of protein synthesis. Protein kinase activity of CycD2- and CycD3-containing cyclin-dependent kinases is consistent with the observed regulation of their mRNA levels. CycD2 and CycD3 therefore act as direct mediators of the presence of sugar in cell cycle commitment. CycD3, but not CycD2, expression responds to hormones, for which we show that the presence of sugars is required. Finally, protein phosphatases are shown to be involved in regulating CycD2 and CycD3 induction. We propose that control of CycD2 and CycD3 by sucrose forms part of cell cycle control in response to cellular carbohydrate status.
Application of photodeposited Cd to Schottky barrier diode and transistor fabrication on InP and In0.53Ga0.47As substrates (1991)

We report on using a thin (∼200 Å) layer of photodeposited Cd to form high Schottky barrier height contacts to InP and In0.53Ga0.47As. Current-voltage measurements of the Schottky diodes yield barrier heights of 0.70 and 0.55 eV to InP and In0.53Ga0.47As, respectively. The photodeposition process has been integrated with conventional clean room processing to fabricate Au/Cd/In0.53Ga0.47As transistors with high transconductances (∼200 mS/mm) and operating frequencies ( fmax∼30 GHz). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of thin Cd photodeposits on InP shows that the process produces an interfacial (∼10 Å thick) Cd-InP reaction zone covered by metallic Cd.
Automated Accident Detection System (2001)

The development of a system for automatically detecting and reporting traffic accidents at intersections was considered. A system with these properties would be beneficial in determining the cause of accidents and could also be useful in determining the features of the intersection that have an impact on safety. A complete system would automatically detect and record traffic conditions associated with accidents such as time of the accident, video of the accident, and the traffic light signal controller parameters. The basic research required to develop the system is considered. This involves developing methods for processing acoustic signals and recognizing accident events from the background traffic events. A database of vehicle crash sounds, car braking sounds, construction sounds, and traffic sounds was created. The mel-frequency cepstral coefficients were computed as a feature vector for input to the classification system. A neural network was used to classify these features into categories of crash and noncrash events. The classification testing results achieved 99 percent accuracy.
Granzyme B is Important in the Control of B Cell Homeostasis (34.7) (2009)

Abstract The role of granzyme B in the homeostasis of B cells is unknown. In our study, splenomegaly with increased B number was observed in Granzyme B deficient (gzb-/-) mice over 8 months age along with significantly increased B cells in the thymus. Moreover, gzb-/- mice over 6 months old have considerably longer intestines with accumulation of lymphocytes in the lamina propria. Serum levels of immunoglobulin isotypes dramatically increased in mice over 4 months old. However, no significant increase was observed in serum Th1/Th2 cytokine levels or in vitro T cell functions . Flowcytometry analysis of B cells in the thymus and spleen from gzb-/- mice showed similar characters to B cells from wild type spleen. Bone marrow transplantation of bone marrow from wild type mice to gzb-/- mice partially corrected the abnormalities observed suggesting that the critical change may lie in the hematopoietive system. In vivo BrdU staining uncovered an increased population of BrdU positive CD45- cells in the spleen. In addition, the percentage of BrdU positive B cells also slightly increased indicating possible role of granzyme B in the control of B cell homeostasis possibly through the abnormal function of this CD45- population of cells. Moreover, coculture of freshly isolated or activated CD8+ T cells with B cells did not show increased cell death in the B cells from gzb-/- mice. Our results showed the importance of granzyme B in the control of B cell homeostasis especially in the intestinal mucosa.
Performance optimization and fringing field modifications of a 24-mm long RF-only quadrupole mass spectrometer (1999)

Modifications to the exit fringing fields of a nominally radio frequency (RF)-only 24-mm long quadrupole mass analyzer result in enhanced signal-to-background levels by increasing the axial kinetic energy of ions on the verge of instability. Specifically, improved signal-to-background levels were observed when the amplitude of the RF voltage applied to opposing poles was unbalanced and a small amount of resolving DC voltage was applied. Only high q-value ions are affected by the changes in the fringing fields allowing more facile energy discrimination between analyte ions and those that give rise to continuum background. Similar performance enhancements were obtained when the exit fringing fields were altered by the application of an appropriately phased auxiliary RF voltage to the exit lens of the quadrupole in the presence of a small resolving DC voltage. These improvements suggest that small, less expensive quadrupole mass analyzers may soon be a reality. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Regeneration of Stereocilia of Hair Cells by Forced Atoh1 Expression in the Adult Mammalian Cochlea (2012)

The hallmark of mechanosensory hair cells is the stereocilia, where mechanical stimuli are converted into electrical signals. These delicate stereocilia are susceptible to acoustic trauma and ototoxic drugs. While hair cells in lower vertebrates and the mammalian vestibular system can spontaneously regenerate lost stereocilia, mammalian cochlear hair cells no longer retain this capability. We explored the possibility of regenerating stereocilia in the noise-deafened guinea pig cochlea by cochlear inoculation of a viral vector carrying Atoh1, a gene critical for hair cell differentiation. Exposure to simulated gunfire resulted in a 60-70 dB hearing loss and extensive damage and loss of stereocilia bundles of both inner and outer hair cells along the entire cochlear length. However, most injured hair cells remained in the organ of Corti for up to 10 days after the trauma. A viral vector carrying an EGFP-labeled Atoh1 gene was inoculated into the cochlea through the round window on the seventh day after noise exposure. Auditory brainstem response measured one month after inoculation showed that hearing thresholds were substantially improved. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the damaged/lost stereocilia bundles were repaired or regenerated after Atoh1 treatment, suggesting that Atoh1 was able to induce repair/regeneration of the damaged or lost stereocilia. Therefore, our studies revealed a new role of Atoh1 as a gene critical for promoting repair/regeneration of stereocilia and maintaining injured hair cells in the adult mammal cochlea. Atoh1-based gene therapy, therefore, has the potential to treat noise-induced hearing loss if the treatment is carried out before hair cells die.

A chemical reduction approach to the synthesis of copper nanoparticles (2015)

Development of improved methods for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles is of high priority for the advancement of material science and technology. Herein, starch-protected zero-valent copper (Cu) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by a novel facile route. The method is based on the chemical reduction in aqueous copper salt using ascorbic acid as reducing agent at low temperature (80 °C). X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements were taken to investigate the size, structure and composition of synthesized Cu nanocrystals, respectively. Average crystallite size of Cu nanocrystals calculated from the major diffraction peaks using the Scherrer formula is about 28.73 nm. It is expected that the outcomes of the study take us a step closer toward designing rational strategies for the synthesis of nascent Cu nanoparticles without inert gas protection.
Anion tuning of chiral bis(urea) low molecular weight gels (2011)

A series of chiral bis(urea) compounds based on oligomethylene spacers with S-phenylethyl end groups have been investigated as low molecular weight gelators. The series shows gelation of a variety of liquids and their structural, morphological and rheological properties are reported. The bis(urea) compounds also act as supramolecular hosts for anions such as chloride and acetate and the weakening of the gels by competitive anion complexation on this series of archetypical, low molecular weight gels is reported. Modification of gel properties using gel mixtures is also described and the gelation process studied using a fluorescent napthyl analogue.

Motion estimation and motion compensation using an overcomplete discrete wavelet transform (2002)

In this paper we introduce a new coding method for image sequences, based on the concept of the "overcomplete discrete wavelet transform" (ODWT). Our main contribution can be stated as: "The translated function with any integer multiple of the sampling period is completely represented in the wavelet space by one of the ODWT members". Based on this important result we derive a new structure for motion estimation and motion compensation (MEMC) working in the wavelet transform space. By performing the MEMC in the wavelet domain, a major reduction of the computational burden is achieved. The method is theoretically described, and the experiments performed on standard image sequences demonstrate high quality and low bit rate performances.

A Systematic Review of the MDMA Model to Address Social Impairment in Autism (2021)

MDMA and/or MDMA-like molecules appear to be an effective pharmacological treatment for the social impairments of autism, at least in animal models. Notably, clinical trials based on MDMA use are now in progress. Nevertheless, larger and more extended clinical studies are warranted to prove the assumption that MDMA and MDMA-like molecules have a role in the management of the social impairments of autism.
DeepGD: A Deep Learning Framework for Graph Drawing Using GNN (2021)

In the past decades, many graph drawing techniques have been proposed for generating aesthetically pleasing graph layouts. However, it remains a challenging task since different layout methods tend to highlight different characteristics of the graphs. Recently, studies on deep-learning-based graph drawing algorithms have emerged but they are often not generalizable to arbitrary graphs without retraining. In this article, we propose a Convolutional-Graph-Neural-Network-based deep learning framework, DeepGD, which can draw arbitrary graphs once trained. It attempts to generate layouts by compromising among multiple prespecified aesthetics considering a good graph layout usually complies with multiple aesthetics simultaneously. In order to balance the tradeoff, we propose two adaptive training strategies, which adjust the weight factor of each aesthetic dynamically during training. The quantitative and qualitative assessment of DeepGD demonstrates that it is capable of drawing arbitrary graphs effectively, while being flexible at accommodating different aesthetic criteria.
Parametrization of compactly supported orthonormal wavelets (1993)

The parametrization of two-channel reconstruction quadrature mirror filter banks is extended to obtain a single characterization of discrete orthonormal wavelets. In particular, it is shown that discrete orthonormal wavelets of support less than 2N-1, where N is an even integer, are parametrized by N-1 real parameters, each taking values in (0, 2 pi ). A parametrization of discrete orthonormal wavelets with a number of vanishing moments greater than one is also given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Rebirth-FTL: Lifetime optimization via Approximate Storage for NAND Flash (2019)

The lifetime of NAND flash cells significantly degrades with feature-size reductions and multi-level cell technology. On the other hand, we have more and more approximate data such as images and video that can tolerate errors. In this paper, we propose Rebirth-FTL which reuses faulty blocks to store approximate data for the lifetime optimization. Rebirth-FTL efficiently and effectively manages two spaces with approximation-aware address mapping, coordinated garbage collection and differential wear leveling. We also develop a scheme to pass approximate information from userland to kernel space in Linux. Evaluation results show that Rebirth-FTL can significantly increase the lifetime by up to 3. 46X.
Finding pose of hand in video images: a stereo-based approach (2002)

We propose a method to estimate the pose of a hand in a sequence of stereo images. This is a difficult problem since a hand is a complex object with a high number of degrees of freedom, and automatically segmenting the hand in the images is not easy. Our method is intended to solve these problems. Two video cameras feed two images to a stereo correlation algorithm, allowing the 3D reconstruction of the scene. Then a 3D articulated model of the hand, made of truncated cones and spheres, is fitted to this reconstruction in order to estimate the pose of the palm and fingers. We are dealing with model-based tracking of hand movement, in which we suppose that the pose of the hand is known in the first images.
Intradermal immunization with ovalbumin‐loaded poly‐ɛ‐caprolactone microparticles conferred protection in ovalbumin‐sensitized allergic mice (2007)

The anaphylactic shock suffered by OVA PCL-treated mice was weaker than the one induced in the OVA-Alum group. Hence, the intradermal immunization with OVA PCL microparticles induced hyposensitization in OVA-allergic mice.
Coherent differential Doppler measurements of transverse velocity at a remote point (1977)

We consider the analysis and results of a laser remote velocity sensing experiment in which both the longitudinal and transverse velocity components at one location were simultaneously measured from a range of 33 m. Fully coherent homodyne detection was used with a test target that simulates many aspects of distributed atmospheric aerosol targets.
Gout in renal transplant recipients (2006)

out is an important problem in the post-transplant population causing significant morbidity and time off work. Diuretics, impaired renal function, gout prior to transplantation and hyperuricaemia are important risk factors. The need for diuretic therapy should be kept under review in these patients. Hypouricaemic therapy should be considered early in those who develop gout post renal transplantation. Further studies are required to determine whether treatment for asymptomatic hyperuricaemia is justified.
An Analysis of Cloud Drop Growth by Collection: Part I. Double Distributions (1974)

Abstract A new, highly accurate, yet fast method for the numerical solution of the stochastic collection equation is described. Basic size distribution parameters are defined that lay a basis for a parameterized description of stochastic collection. Application is made to double initial distributions. A newly defined mode, here designated “large hydrometeor self-collection”, is found to occupy an important position along with auto-conversion, accretion and breakup in the generalized description of drop growth by collection.
Treatment of the alkali-burned cornea. (1971)

Recent studies have shown that the ulcers and perforations of the severely alkaliburned rabbit cornea are caused by a collagenolytic enzyme produced by the cornea.' Investigation revealed that all the cells of the cornea were destroyed immediately after ex­ posure to alkali. Seven to 10 days later, the regrowing epithelial cells and cellular ele­ ments that are repopulating the stroma pro­ duce a collagenase which ultimately ulcerates the cornea.' Treatment of the acute alkali-burned rab­ bit cornea with collagenase inhibitors pre­ vented the usually inevitable formation of ulcers. Brown and Hook treated 21 eyes having either total alkali burns or ulcerated alkali-burned corneas with the collagenase inhibitor, cystein, and reported uniformly good results. Because it was likely that sig­ nificant quantities of collagenase were not being produced before the end of the first week after alkali burning, Brown recom­ mended that the use of collagenase inhibitors could be delayed until seven days after expo­ sure to alkali. Furthermore, it was suggested that the inhibitors should be continued until the epithelium again covered the cornea, since an intact epithelial layer does not pro­ duce collagenase.
Fatigue Crack Propagation Behavior in the Field of Residual Stress Distribution (1995)

In the previous paper, a simulation model of fatigue crack opening and closing phenomena in an arbitrary stress distribution field for the purpose of obtaining RPG load is shown.From the calculation and experimental results of RPG load, the effects of stress ratio and delayed retardation on fatigue crack propagation are quantitatively assessed. Moreover it becomes clear that the stopping condition of fatigue crack propagation is ΔKRP≤0.In this paper, fatigue crack propagation tests in residual stress distribution field are carried out. Two types of center notched specimens are prepared : one is that gas heating is made at the center line of the specimen which leads to tensile residual stress field in the middle part of the specimen, the other at near the edges of the specimen which leads to compressive residual stress field in the middle part of the specimen. It becomes clear that tensile residual stress descends RPG load and compressive residual stress raises RPG load. Moreover if the large compressive residual stress exists, crack closes even when tensile yield zone generates at the crack tip under loading process. In this case, plastic zone could not grow until crack becomes fully open.Simulated RPG load is in good agreement with experimental one even in the field of residual stress distribution. And compressive residual stress has a large effect of decreasing the fatigue crack propagation rate. These effects can be successfully estimated by the simulation model.
