Interference analysis and performance evaluation for LTE TDD system (2010)

LTE of the UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access and Radio Access Network is aimed at supporting high speed package data service. LTE constitutes a major step toward 4G network and supports both FDD mode and TDD mode. In this paper, we study the interference cases of LTE TDD system, especially the crossed timeslot interference (CTI) is discussed and evaluated in detail. According to the simulation assumption, the system performance of LTE TDD using three classic scheduling schemes with or without consideration of CTI is evaluated by system level simulation. We have developed the simulation platform for both uplink and downlink directions. Simulation results show that the throughput degrades significantly due to the CTI.
Evolutionary implications of the human aldolase-A, -B, -C, and -pseudogene chromosome locations. (1987)

The aldolase genes represent an ancient gene family with tissue-specific isozymic forms expressed only in vertebrates. The chromosomal locations of the aldolase genes provide insight into their tissue-specific and developmentally regulated expression and evolution. DNA probes for the human aldolase-A and -C genes and for an aldolase pseudogene were used to quantify and map the aldolase loci in the haploid human genome. Genomic hybridization of restriction fragments determined that all the aldolase genes exist in single copy in the haploid human genome. Spot-blot analysis of sorted chromosomes mapped human aldolase A to chromosome 16, aldolase C to chromosome 17, the pseudogene to chromosome 10; it previously had mapped the aldolase-B gene to chromosome 9. All loci are unlinked and located on to two pairs of morphologically similar chromosomes, a situation consistent with tetraploidization during isozymic and vertebrate evolution. Sequence comparisons of expressed and flanking regions support this conclusion. These locations on similar chromosome pairs correctly predicted that the aldolase pseudogene arose when sequences from the aldolase-A gene were inserted into the homologous aldolase location on chromosome 10.
Parallelism and Divergence in Luteinizing Hormone and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Release in Nicotine-Treated Rats (1974)

In rats, sc injections of nicotine tartrate during the critical period on the afternoon of vaginal proestrus delayed the spontaneous release of pituitary LH, FSH, and prolactin for approximately 2 hr. In ovariectomized rats, nicotine inhibited LH release but had no effect on plasma FSH or TSH concentration. Nicotine did not inhibit LH release in response to LHRH, and LHRH did not release FSH in proestrous or ovariectomized rats. The results support the view that two releasing hormones are involved in LH and FSH release.
Insulin-like growth factor I and II preserve myocardial structure in postinfarct swine (2001)

Both types of IGF improved myocardial function and the improvement was associated with preservation of myocardial structure. IGF-I was more effective than IGF-II.
The PicToSeek WWW image search system (2003)

We give an overview of the PicToSeek system for exploring visual information on the World Wide Web. PicToSeek automatically collects, indexes and catalogs visual information entirely on the basis of the pictorial content. PicToSeek allows for content-based image retrieval conducted in an interactive, iterative manner guided by the user by relevance feedback. Relevance feedback can be seen as a method of feature selection and weighting. The PicToSeek system has been implemented based on the client-server paradigm. The client is a Java applet and takes care of interactive query formulation, the display of the results, and the relevance feedback specification given by the user. The server is a Servlet using C-libraries and takes care of the image feature extraction, feature weighting from relevance feedback, k-nearest neighbour feature classification, and image sorting. The system is available at http://www.wins.uva.nl/research/isis/zomax/.
NF-κB Regulates Transcription of the Mouse Telomerase Catalytic Subunit (2000)

Expression of the telomerase catalytic subunit (TERT) is the rate-limiting determinant of telomerase activity in most cells. Analysis of the mouse TERT promoter revealed a potential NF-kappaB binding site 350 base pairs upstream from the translational start site. An oligonucleotide from this region of the TERT promoter bound to proteins in a nuclear extract prepared from a mouse hepatoma cell line. These proteins were identified as NF-kappaB by a number of criteria: 1) the protein complex formed on the TERT oligonucleotide had an electrophoretic mobility similar to that formed on an NF-kappaB consensus oligonucleotide; 2) protein binding to this site was enhanced by NF-kappaB activators tumor necrosis factor-alpha, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, and interleukin-1beta; and 3) the complex was specific and could be supershifted with antibodies against the p50 or p65 NF-kappaB subunits. The NF-kappaB binding site from the mouse TERT promoter activated transcription when fused to a basal SV40 promoter and enhanced the activity of the native TERT promoter in mouse hepatoma cells stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Transcriptional activation by the TERT NF-kappaB site could also be enhanced by co-transfection with an NF-kappaB1 expression vector. NF-kappaB may therefore contribute to the activation of TERT expression observed in mouse tissue.

Automatic interstitial photodynamic therapy planning via convex optimization (2018)

Finding a high-quality treatment plan is an essential, yet difficult, stage of Photodynamic therapy (PDT) as it will determine the therapeutic efficacy in eradicating malignant tumors. A high-quality plan is patient-specific, and provides clinicians with the number of fiber-based spherical diffusers, their powers, and their interstitial locations to deliver the required light dose to destroy the tumor while minimizing the damage to surrounding healthy tissues. In this work, we propose a general convex light source power allocation algorithm that, given light source locations, guarantees optimality of the resulting solution in minimizing the over/under-dosage of volumes of interest. Furthermore, we provide an efficient framework for source selection with concomitant power reallocation to achieve treatment plans with a clinically feasible number of sources and comparable quality. We demonstrate our algorithms on virtual test cases that model glioblastoma multiforme tumors, and evaluate the performance of four different photosensitizers with different activation wavelengths and specific tissue uptake ratios. Results show an average reduction of the damage to organs-at-risk (OAR) by 29% to 31% with comparable runtime to existing power allocation techniques.
Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Toward Zero Hospital Deaths (1999)

With appropriate surgical techniques and perioperative management to preserve function of the liver remnant, hepatectomy for HCC can be performed without hospital deaths. To improve surgical outcome further, strategies to reduce the operation time are being investigated.
Lipid oxidation in meat: mechanisms and protective factors – a review (2018)

Lipid oxidation in meats is a process whereby polyunsaturated fatty acid react with reactive oxygen species leading to a series of secondary reactions which in turn lead to degradation of lipids and development of oxidative rancidity. This process is one of the major factors responsible for the gradual reduction of sensory and nutritional quality of meats, thus affecting consumer acceptance. Therefore, the control and minimization of lipid oxidation in meat and meat products is of great interest to the food industry. In view of this, some technologies have been developed, such as vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere, and use of antioxidants. The aim is understanding the lipid oxidation mechanisms responsible for sensory and nutritional quality reduction in meat and meat products and identify the most effective methods to control this process. Lipid oxidation in meat can be controlled using different strategies, such as animal dietary supplements, addition of antioxidants, processing, and the use of special packaging. Better results can be obtained by using synergistic strategies and focusing attention on food safety and to prevent negative effects to other sensory properties.
A unified approach to the kinematic synthesis of five-link, four-link, and double-wishbone suspension mechanisms with rack-and-pinion steering control (2016)

This paper presents a unified approach to the problem of dimensional synthesis of the five-link, four-link, and three-link (double-wishbone) suspension mechanisms with a rack-and-pinion steering input. In a simplified approach, the guiding links are assumed to be removed from their joints, allowing the wheel to be exactly driven through a number of prescribed jounce–rebound and steering positions during the kinematic synthesis process. Alternatively, the tie rod is maintained in place, and the rack length and the lengths of the remaining four guiding links are allowed to vary. An optimization problem based on the aggregated change in distance between the released ball joints evaluated in the aforementioned positions is then defined. By prescribing to the wheel a jounce–rebound motion only, rear-suspension mechanisms of the five-link, four-link, and three-link types can be conveniently synthesized by following the same procedure. Several solutions obtained through synthesis are then analyzed for their changes in steering error, recessional wheel motion, wheel track, toe angle and camber angle, showing very promising results. Additionally, a comprehensive review of nearly 150 publications relevant to the suspension design of automobiles is provided in the paper.
Osmolarity at early culture stage affects development and expression of apoptosis related genes (bax‐α and bcl‐xl) in pre‐implantation porcine NT embryos (2007)

This study examined whether high osmolarity of culture medium at the early culture stage affects development and expression of apoptosis related genes (Bax-alpha and Bcl-xl) of porcine nuclear transfer (NT) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryos. NT and IVF embryos were divided into three groups and the basic medium was PZM-3 (260-270 mOsmol, control group). The control group of embryos was cultured in PZM-3 for whole culture period. Other two groups of embryos were cultured in a modified PZM-3 with 0.05 M sucrose (300-320 mOsmol, sucrose group) or increased NaCl to 138 mM (300-320 mOsmol, NaCl group) for the first 2 days, and then cultured in PZM-3 for 4 days. NT embryos cultured in NaCl group showed a significantly higher developmental rate to the blastocyst stage with a decreased apoptosis rate compared to the control (P < 0.05). There was no difference in blastocyst formation and apoptosis incidence among the three culture treatments for IVF-derived embryos. Bax-alpha mRNA expression was significantly higher in the control than sucrose or NaCl group for both NT and IVF embryos (P < 0.05). Moreover, the relative abundance of Bax-alpha/Bcl-xl was higher in the control than the treatment groups. These results indicate that the higher osmolarity at the early embryonic stage of porcine NT and IVF embryos can improve the in vitro development with reduced apoptosis through regulating the Bax-alpha/Bcl-xl gene expression.
Aplicaciones recientes de la biotecnología a nuevos diagnósticos en animales acuáticos (2008)

Improvement of the methods included in the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals and addition of novel techniques are dependent on the continual development and evaluation of both new and existing methods. Although conventional isolation and characterisation techniques for the diagnosis of many diseases still remain the methods of choice there is the potential to make significant progress in the development of rapid methods that will enhance the diagnosis of disease in aquatic animals. For example, serology, rapid kits based on immunochromatography, Luminex xMAP technology, adaptations of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), polygenic sequencing and micro-array technology are all methods that merit validation. Each of the technologies has advantages and disadvantages that need to be considered. This is not a definitive list, and new methods being developed (or that are developed in the future) should continue to be validated if they provide potential benefit to the diagnosis of disease in aquatic animals.
Statistical reconstruction of three-dimensional porous media from two-dimensional images (1997)

A method of modeling the three-dimensional microstructure of random isotropic two-phase materials is proposed. The information required to implement the technique can be obtained from two-dimensional images of the microstructure. The reconstructed models share two-point correlation and chord-distribution functions with the original composite. The method is designed to produce models for computationally and theoretically predicting the effective macroscopic properties of random materials (such as electrical and thermal conductivity, permeability and elastic moduli). To test the method we reconstruct the morphology and predict the conductivity of the well known overlapping sphere model. The results are in very good agreement with data for the original model.

Electric and Photoelectric Gates for ion backflow suppression in multi-GEM structures (2006)

A new approach to suppress ion backflow in multi-GEM structures is suggested. In this approach, the potential difference applied across the gap between two adjacent GEMs is reversed compared to the standard configuration. In such a gap structure, called Electric Gate, a signal transfer from the first to second GEM is presumably provided by the small residual field still existing at small gate voltages and connecting the holes of the two GEMs. On the other hand, ion backflow between the GEMs turned out to be substantially reduced. We also consider another configuration, called Photoelectric Gate, in which in addition to the Electric Gate configuration, a CsI photocathode is deposited on the second GEM. In the Photoelectric Gate, ion backflow through the gap is fully suppressed and the signal transfer through the gap is provided by the photoelectric mechanism due to either avalanche scintillations in the first GEM or proportional scintillations in the electroluminescence gap replacing the first GEM. The idea of the Electric Gate might find applications in the field of TPC detectors and gas photomultipliers. The idea of the Photoelectric Gate is more relevant in the field of two-phase avalanche detectors.
High-Temperature Heat Transfer Investigations Using Heterogeneous Gradient Sensors (2010)

The local heat flux measurements are limited by low working temperature of the gradient heat flux sensors (GHFS) [1–3]. The novel heterogeneous sensors (HGHFS) made from metal-metal or metal-semiconductor layered composites (so-called anisotropic thermoelements) have high temperature level of 1300 K and more. Theory of the HGHFS allows to choose thickness and angle of inclination for the layers of composite, and to forecast volt-watt sensitivity. The sensitivity of metal-metal sensors is typically on the order of 0.02 to 0.5 mV/W, and it is much beyond when semiconductors are used. HGHFS are used for a first time for heat flux measurements in the furnace of the industrial boiler which is in operating of the Thermal Power Plant (fossil fuel power plant) in the city of Kirov (Russia). The local heat flux at the surface of refractory-faced water wall is measured in different regimes of operating. It is also shown that HGHFS may be used as indicator of furnace slugging. Small sizes (minimally 2×2×0.1 mm) and high working temperature of the HGHFS are useful for heat transfer investigations.
<title>Omnidirectional Real Time Imaging Using Digital Restoration</title> (1983)

Image processing techniques are being developed for geometric and blurring restoration of fish-eye lens images. The history of extreme wide angle imaging is briefly reviewed. A method for geometric restoration of such distorted images is derived, based on a simple pin-hole camera model. In a more detailed examination of the model it is shown that the fish-eye image can be transformed from a space variant system to a space invariant one. An example is given of the application of this transformation to "undistort" a photograph made through a fish-eye lens. After geometric restoration, the image can be further enhanced by applying debluring techniques to improve resolution. An example is given of the result of deblurring applied to the geo-metrically restored image from the previous example.
Two-track-reflector-filters for CDMA mobile telephones (2002)

IF-filters for channel selection in mobile phones based on a CDMA system must offer very steep skirts as well as excellent phase linearity and small amplitude ripple within the passband. To fulfill all these requirements a conventional transversal surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter needs a large chip size. In order to reduce the total chip length we folded the propagation path of the SAW taking advantage of the reflector filter technique. Therefore, the usable time window for weighting becomes almost twice as large. We employed weighted reflectors not only to reflect the SAW but also to shape the filter frequency response. Thus we have more flexibility to design the transducers. We can make them shorter but still have lower impedances on quartz than with an unweighted reflector design. With this technique, we built filters at a center frequency of 110 MHz with an insertion attenuation of less than 15 dB, a 5 dB bandwidth of 1.26 MHz and an attenuation of more than 30 dB outside of a 1.80 MHz band. The chip is mounted in a 15.6/spl times/6.8 mm/sup 2/ SMD package. The reflector filter fulfills the frequency response specification required for CDMA mobile telephones on a chip length reduced by about 4 mm compared with the transversal or SPUDT design technique.
