An asymmetric watermarking scheme for relational database (2011)

With the expanding use of digital data over the internet, more and more attention should be paid on the security of digital data. In this paper, we propose an asymmetric watermarking scheme for integrity verification of relational database. The watermarked database can be generated only by the owner with the private key and can be verified by the public with the public key. The proposed scheme does not require any additional storage to store the verification information, nor does it introduce any distortion to original data. Experimental results show that our scheme can perform well in real databases.
A chaotic model for tight diabetes control (2002)

The principles of non-linear dynamics ('chaos') theory may improve our understanding of the difficulties of blood glucose control in diabetes, may lead to alternative control strategies in selected individuals, and might even enlighten the issues involved in automated glucose control for the future. Possible experimental and mathematical methods of identifying chaotic behaviour in glucose profiles are briefly discussed. Advice based on this model is suggested for those aiming at tight blood glucose control.

On identifying undetectable and redundant faults in synchronous sequential circuits (2002)

Considers undetectable and redundant faults in synchronous sequential circuits. The authors state and formally prove results regarding the types of faults identified as undetectable and/or redundant by existing test generation procedures and by procedures proposed specifically for this purpose. They distinguish between procedures that identify undetectable faults and procedures that identify redundant faults. They also give a detailed characterization of the types of faults that can be classified by each procedure considered and the types of faults that cannot be classified. The authors present examples and experimental evidence of these limitations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Constrained Residual Acceleration of Conjugate Residual Methods (1985)

ABSTRACT This paper describes a new iterative technique for the solution of linear systems of equations arising in petroleum reservoir simulation. The procedure exploits a powerful, vectorizable preconditioner to accelerate generalized conjugate residual methods. Speed and robustness of the new method compare favorably with previously published schemes. These attributes will be demonstrated in actual applications.

A new NF‐κB inhibitor attenuates a T<sub>H</sub>1 type immune response in a murine model (2004)

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) plays a wide variety of pathophysiological roles and modulation of its pathway can be a good novel drug target. Here, we found that our recently synthesized NF-kappaB inhibitor attenuated an ovalbumin-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity response in vivo and suppressed production of IL-12 by dendritic cells and TH1 cytokines by T cells in vitro. These findings suggest that the activation of NF-kappaB mounts TH1 type immune responses, and that this new NF-kappaB inhibitor has a therapeutic potential in this context.

In Vitro Evaluation of an External Compression Device for Fontan Mechanical Assistance (2013)

While Fontan palliation in the form of the total cavopulmonary connection has improved the management of congenital single ventricle physiology, long-term outcomes for patients with this disease are suboptimal due to the lack of two functional ventricles. Researchers have shown that ventricular assist devices (VADs) can normalize Fontan hemodynamics. To minimize blood contacting surfaces of the VAD, we evaluated the use of an external compression device (C-Pulse Heart Assist System, Sunshine Heart Inc.) as a Fontan assist device. A mock circulation was developed to mimic the hemodynamics of a hypertensive Fontan circulation in a pediatric patient. The Sunshine C-Pulse compression cuff was coupled with polymeric valves and a compressible tube to provide nonblood-contacting pulsatile flow through the Fontan circulation. The effect of the number, one or two, and placement of valves, before or after the compression cuff, on inferior vena cava pressure (IVCP) was studied. In addition, the effect of device inflation volume and compression rate on maintaining low IVCP was investigated. With one valve located before the cuff, the device was unable to maintain an IVCP below 15.5 mm Hg. With two valves, the C-Pulse was able to maintain IVCP as low as 8.5 mm Hg. The C-Pulse provided pulsatile flow and pressure through the pulmonary branch of the mock circulation with a pulse pressure of 16 mm Hg and 180 mL/min additional flow above unassisted flow. C-Pulse compression reduced IVCP below 12 mm Hg with 13 cc inflation volume and compression rates above 105 bpm. This application of an external compression device combined with two valves has potential for use as an artificial right ventricle by maintaining low IVCP and providing pulsatile flow through the lungs.
Expression of Prox1 during mouse cochlear development (2006)

We carried out an analysis of the expression of Prox1, a homeo-domain transcription factor, during mouse inner ear development with particular emphasis on the auditory system. Prox1 is expressed in the otocyst beginning at embryonic day (E)11, in the developing vestibular sensory patches. Expression is down regulated in maturing (myosin VIIA immunoreactive) vestibular hair cells and subsequently in the underlying support cell layer by E16.5. In the auditory sensory epithelium, Prox1 is initially expressed at embryonic day 14.5 in a narrow stripe of cells at the base of the cochlea. This stripe encompasses the full thickness of the sensory epithelium, including developing hair cells and support cells. Over the next several days the stripe of expression extends to the apex, and as the sensory epithelium differentiates Prox1 becomes restricted to a subset of support cells. Double labeling for Prox1 and cell-type-specific markers revealed that the outer hair cells transiently express Prox1. After E18, Prox1 protein is no longer detectable in hair cells, but it continues to be expressed in support cells for the rest of embryogenesis and into the second postnatal week. During this time, Prox1 is not expressed in all support cell types in the organ of Corti, but is restricted to developing Deiters' and pillar cells. The expression is maintained in these cells into the second week of postnatal life, at which time Prox1 is dynamically down regulated. These studies form a baseline from which we can analyze the role of Prox1 in vertebrate sensory development.
10:4 MUX and 4:10 DEMUX gearbox LSI for 100-gigabit Ethernet link (2011)

The 100-gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) was standardized as IEEE 802.3ba in 2010 [1]. The optics module must be equipped with a “gearbox” LSI-which switches between 10×10Gb/s data signals on the physical-coding-sublayer side and 4×25Gb/s data signals on the physical-media-dependent side. A gearbox LSI based on 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS consumes 8W of power [2], which is about half of the total power consumption of the optics module. Aiming to reduce the power consumption, a 50Gb/s 2:5 DEMUX based on CMOS technology is developed [3]. In addition, since the architecture in reference [2] consists of two LSIs (MUX and DEMUX), loop-back operation, which is required in the IEEE standard, is impossible. In response to these circumstances, we have developed a 100GbE gearbox LSI combining a 10:4 MUX and a 4:10 DEMUX. This gearbox LSI — implemented in 65nm CMOS — decreases power dissipation by 75% compared to that of a conventional LSI.
Recent Advance in Lymph Dynamic Analysis in Lymphatics and Lymph Nodes (2012)

Lymphatics are a unidirectional transport system that carries fluid from the interstitial space and back into the blood stream. Initial lymphatics take up not only fluid but also high-molecular-weight substances, such as plasma proteins and hyaluronan; immune cells, such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells; and colloidal particles, such as carbon particles, bacteria, and tattoo dye. Interstitially injected colloidal particles are known to accumulate in the regional lymph nodes. This phenomenon is applied to find sentinel lymph nodes in cancer patients. Lymph flow rate and composition are influenced by interstitial fluid, lymphatic pump activity, and intra-lymphatic pressure. Lymph composition is changed during its flow downstream. In this review, the main focus is on the mechanisms of lymph formation at the initial lymphatics and lymph transport through the collecting lymphatics and lymph nodes.

Analysis of the Pre-S2 N- and O-Linked Glycans of the M Surface Protein from Human Hepatitis B Virus (1999)

The surface antigen of hepatitis B virus comprises a nested set of small (S), middle (M), and large (L) proteins, all of which are partially glycosylated in their S domains. The pre-S2 domain, present only in M and L proteins, is further N-glycosylated at Asn-4 exclusively in the M protein. Since the pre-S2 N-glycan appears to play a crucial role in the secretion of viral particles, the M protein may be considered as a potential target for antiviral therapy. For characterization of the pre-S2 glycosylation, pre-S2 (glyco)peptides were released from native, patient-derived hepatitis B virus subviral particles by tryptic digestion, separated from remaining particles, purified by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography, and identified by amino acid and N-terminal sequence analysis as well as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Pre-S2 N-glycans were characterized by anion exchange chromatography, methylation analysis, and on target sequential exoglycosidase digestions in combination with MALDI-TOF-MS, demonstrating the presence of partially sialylated diantennary complex-type oligosaccharides. In addition, the pre-S2 domain of M protein, but not that of L protein, was found to be partially O-glycosylated by a Gal(beta1-3)GalNAcalpha-, Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-3)GalNAcalpha-, or GalNAcalpha-residue. The respective O-glycosylation site was assigned to Thr-37 by digestion with carboxypeptidases in combination with MALDI-TOF-MS and by quadrupole time-of-flight electrospray mass spectrometry. Analytical data further revealed that about 90% of M protein is N-terminally acetylated.
Zigzag slabs for solid-state laser amplifiers: batch fabrication and parasitic oscillation suppression (2006)

We have developed a 100 W class Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier system based in part on an end-pumped zigzag slab power amplifier. This amplifier incorporates parasitic oscillation suppression by using roughened edges and achieves a small-signal gain coefficient (g(0)l) of 8.06. We describe a novel technique for suppression of parasitic oscillations using claddings on slab edges that significantly increases g(0)l to 11.63 and increases the single-pass extracted power in a power amplifier by 50%. Commercial use of these zigzag slab amplifiers has been limited by the time and cost of production. We describe a new batch fabrication technique that improves the quality and significantly reduces the cost of zigzag slabs.
Retention of a Bean Phaseolin/Maize γ-Zein Fusion in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Depends on Disulfide Bond Formation (2006)

Abstract Most seed storage proteins of the prolamin class accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as large insoluble polymers termed protein bodies (PBs), through mechanisms that are still poorly understood. We previously showed that a fusion between the Phaseolus vulgaris vacuolar storage protein phaseolin and the N-terminal half of the Zea mays prolamin γ-zein forms ER-located PBs. Zeolin has 6 Cys residues and, like γ-zein with 15 residues, is insoluble unless reduced. The contribution of disulfide bonds to zeolin destiny was determined by studying in vivo the effects of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) and by zeolin mutagenesis. We show that in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) protoplasts, 2-ME enhances interactions of newly synthesized proteins with the ER chaperone BiP and inhibits the secretory traffic of soluble proteins with or without disulfide bonds. In spite of this general inhibition, 2-ME enhances the solubility of zeolin and relieves its retention in the ER, resulting in increased zeolin traffic. Consistently, mutated zeolin unable to form disulfide bonds is soluble and efficiently enters the secretory traffic without 2-ME treatment. We conclude that disulfide bonds that lead to insolubilization are a determinant for PB-mediated protein accumulation in the ER.
Tailored emission color synthesis using microfacet quantum wells consisting of nitride semiconductors without phosphors (2006)

A color synthesis based on InGaN∕GaN quantum wells (QWs) grown on GaN microfacets formed by regrowth on SiO2 mask stripes is demonstrated. The microfacet structure is composed of (0001), {112¯2}, and {112¯0} planes, and the InGaN well thickness and composition are spatially inhomogeneous due to the diffusion of the adatoms among the facets. These properties allow microfacet QWs, which, for example, emit yellow from the (0001) facet and blue from the {112¯2} facet, to be fabricated, of which the luminescence appears white due to the additive color mixing. Using a mask pattern that consists of regions with and without stripes, the emissions from the microfacet QWs and from planar QWs are synthesized to produce the desired apparent output colors.
Simultaneous wastewater treatment and biological electricity generation (2005)

It is possible to directly generate electricity using bacteria while accomplishing wastewater treatment in processes based on microbial fuel cell technologies. When bacteria oxidize a substrate, they remove electrons. Current generation is made possible by keeping bacteria separated from oxygen, but allowing the bacteria growing on an anode to transfer electrons to the counter electrode (cathode) that is exposed to air. In this paper, several advances are discussed in this technology, and a calculation is made on the potential for electricity recovery. Assuming a town of 100,000 people generate 16.4 x 10(6) L of wastewater, a wastewater treatment plant has the potential to become a 2.3 MW power plant if all the energy is recovered as electricity. So far, power densities are low, resulting in power generation rates of 150 kW/m2. Progress is being made that we believe may result in as much as 0.5 MW from wastewater treatment. The generation of electricity during wastewater treatment may profoundly affect the approach to anaerobic treatment technologies used in wastewater treatment.

Polar Coded HARQ Scheme with Chase Combining (2013)

A hybrid automatic repeat request scheme with Chase combing (HARQ-CC) of polar codes is proposed. The existing analysis tools of the underlying rate-compatible punctured polar (RCPP) codes for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels are extended to Rayleigh fading channels. Then, an approximation bound of the throughput efficiency for the polar coded HARQ-CC scheme is derived. Utilizing this bound, the parameter configurations of the proposed scheme can be optimized. Simulation results show that, the proposed HARQ-CC scheme under a low-complexity SC decoding is only about $1.0$dB away from the existing schemes with incremental redundancy (\mbox{HARQ-IR}). Compared with the polar coded \mbox{HARQ-IR} scheme, the proposed HARQ-CC scheme requires less retransmissions and has the advantage of good compatibility to other communication techniques.
Virtual histology and optical coherence tomography: from research to a broad clinical application (2009)

Invasive coronary imaging techniques have improved our understanding of atherosclerosis and helped us to evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs and new intravascular devices. We have adopted and integrated them rapidly into our clinical decision making process in the catheterisation laboratory. So far, only significant lesions in the coronary angiogram have been treated either by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary bypass artery grafting (CABG), while normal looking coronary segments in angiography have been regarded as “disease-free”, and mild/moderate stenoses as “non-treatable” by PCI or CABG; from these non-significantly diseased areas, acute coronary events may potentially arise. In response to this, many imaging coronary techniques have been developed to study these areas in order to understand better the pathophysiology of atherosclerotic disease and to assess the performance of medical interventions that may ultimately have an important impact on the prevention of acute myocardial infarction and death.

Grey scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been so far the most useful invasive imaging technique. Using grey scale IVUS, some lipid lowering drugs have been shown to decrease plaque size, and as a result these drugs have been widely included as part of standard of care.w1 w2 Moreover, IVUS guided stenting, following strict criteria of implantation, has been proven to decrease the restenosis ratew3 and more recently it has been published that this approach apparently decreases stent thrombosis.w4 The recent introduction of tissue characterisation by means of radiofrequency data analysis (virtual histology, VH) has offered a more detailed evaluation of the atherosclerotic plaque. This technique brings the possibility of going beyond plaque size evaluation to a more sophisticated approach which is to assess changes in tissue types. In the IBIS 2 study,1 after 12 months and despite high adherence to standard-of-care treatment, the necrotic core continued to expand among patients …
New liquid crystals containing the benzothiazol unit: amides and azo compounds (1999)

Abstract Two series of calamitic liquid crystals containing a benzothiazole ring within the central core and two different linkage groups (amide and azo) have been prepared and their liquid crystalline properties studied and compared with those of the analogous series of imines. The influence of the linkage group within the central core has been proven to determine the variety of mesomorphism displayed by the compounds. The compounds with imine and azo linkages behave in a similar way and exhibit typical nematic and smectic C mesophases. Compounds incorporating an amide linkage show a poorer mesomorphism and mainly present a smectic C mesophase.
Particle size-dependent, tunable porous structure of a SiO2/poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene)-coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) nonwoven composite separator for a lithium-ion battery (2011)

We demonstrate a new silica (SiO2) nanoparticle/polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP)-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nonwoven composite separator for a lithium-ion battery as a promising alternative to a commercialized polyethylene (PE) separator. A distinctive feature of the nonwoven composite separator is its porous structure, i.e. well-connected interstitial voids formed between close-packed SiO2 nanoparticles interconnected by PVdF-HFP binders. More notably, this unusual porous structure of the nonwoven composite separator can be tuned by controlling the SiO2 particle size (herein, 40 nm and 530 nm SiO2 powders are exploited). Such morphological variation of the nonwoven composite separator has a crucial influence on separator properties such as porosity, electrolyte wettability, and ionic conductivity. The PET nonwoven is employed as a physical support to prevent thermal shrinkage of the nonwoven composite separator. Based on this understanding of the separator characteristics, the effects of the SiO2 particle size-dependent, tunable porous structure of nonwoven composite separators on the electrochemical performance of cells are investigated. In comparison to a nonwoven composite separator containing 530 nm SiO2 particles as well as the conventional PE separator, the nonwoven composite separator incorporating 40 nm SiO2 particles provides superior cell performance owing to facile ion transport and retarded growth of cell impedance during cycling.
