Asymmetrical Y laser with simple single current tuning response (1992)

The Letter reports the modelling, realisation and first experimental data of improved tunable MQW based interferometric Y lasers. A new simplified tuning current control scheme featuring single control current is obtained from the asymmetrical Y configuration. Theory is confirmed by demonstration of tuning using only one current up to 8 nm which represents no limit. The Mach-Zehnder filter function of this device can be flexibly designed for specific WDM applications, e.g. the number and spacing of addressable channels.
Genetic structure and transforming sequence of avian sarcoma virus UR2 (1982)

We have recently shown that a newly isolated avian sarcoma virus, UR2, is defective in replication and contains no sequences homologous to the src gene of Rous sarcoma virus. In this study, we analyzed the genetic structure and transforming sequence of UR2 by oligonucleotide fingerprinting. The sizes of the genomic RNAs of UR2 and its associated helper virus, UR2AV, were determined to be 24S and 35S, respectively, by sucrose gradient sedimentation. The molecular weight of the 24S UR2 genomic RNA was estimated to be 1.1 x 10(6), corresponding to 3,300 nucleotides, by gel electrophoresis under the native and denatured conditions. RNase T1 oligonucleotide mapping indicated that UR2 RNA contains seven unique oligonucleotides in the middle of the genome and shares eight 5'- and six 3'-terminal oligonucleotides with UR2AV RNA. From these data, we estimated that UR2 RNA contains a unique sequence of about 12 kilobases in the middle of the genome, and contains 1.4 and 0.7 kilobases of sequences shared with UR2AV RNA at the 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Partial sequence analysis of the UR2-specific oligonucleotides by RNase A digestion revealed that there are no homologous counterparts to these oligonucleotides in the RNAs of other avian sarcoma and acute leukemia viruses studied to date. UR2-transformed non-virus-producing cells contain a single 24S viral RNA which is most likely the message coding for the transforming protein of UR2. On the basis of the uniqueness of the transforming sequence, we concluded that UR2 is a new member of the defective avian sarcoma viruses.
Challenges in building scalable network centric real-time information dissemination systems (2003)

As the DoD strives for a new Network Centric Warfare (NCW) (Alberts et al., http://www.dodccrp.org) capability, a multitude of technical and organizational challenges are being faced. In large part, NCW can be classified as a collective large-scale information dissemination system that operates at multitudes of levels and will be implemented using different distributed technologies and architectural styles. This paper classifies the use of these different distributed technologies as layers of information abstractions and highlights their varied architectural uses as they are driven by latency, scalability, reconfiguration and seamless programming requirements. For example, the following technologies are contrasted: peer to peer and mobile networks, Web services, content-based routing, and real-time CORBA, while addressing distributed security and fault tolerance issues. Unique challenges for when and how these technologies can be used, as well as their attributes for addressing scalability are highlighted. These technology challenges are classified and contrasted using the models based on the Siena project (ICSE 99 Workshop, 1999), which has been extended for the real-time community and termed Siena+RT. These requirements are described in context of the Boeing Phantom Works (http://www.boeing.com/phantom) XIS (eXtensible InfoSphere) Scalability Testbed Framework. XIS is a set of hierarchal distributed technologies developed to support the diverse real-time requirements for collection and dissemination of information throughout a global information grid.
Time dependence of pressure in a bubbler tube (1982)

Abstract An experimental and theoretical study is presented of the time dependence of air pressure in a bubbler tube used to measure the liquid level in a tank. The observed time dependence of the air pressure is a superposition of two components. The first component is a repeated slow rise and sudden fall in the air pressure that is associated with bubble growth and breakoff. It is the sudden breakoff that generates the second component consisting of damped oscillations associated with sound waves in the air interacting with an oscillating flow of the liquid. The air pressure during bubble growth is described theoretically. This result is combined with the gas law to predict the functional form of the slow pressure rise; this prediction agrees with experiment. An equation for the oscillation frequencies is derived, solved, and compared with experiment; agreement is within the measurement accuracy of 5%.
Excimer laser crystallization and doping of silicon films on plastic substrates (1997)

We report the pulsed laser recrystallization and doping of thin film amorphous silicon deposited on oxide-coated polyester substrates. Although our heat-flow simulation of the laser recrystallization process indicates that the plastic is briefly subjected to temperatures above its softening point, we see no evidence of damage to the plastic or film delamination from the substrate. Film grain size is found to vary up to ∼0.1 μm. Electrical characteristics obtained from simple strip line resistors and thin film transistors indicate that device-quality silicon films have been produced on an inexpensive flexible plastic substrate.
Band nesting and the optical response of two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (2013)

We have studied the optical conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides using ab initio density functional theory. We find that this class of materials presents large optical response due to the phenomenon of band nesting. The tendency towards band nesting is enhanced by the presence of van Hove singularities in the band structure of these materials. Given that 2D crystals are atomically thin and naturally transparent, our results show that it is possible to have strong photon-electron interactions even in 2D.
An approach for QoE-based media sharing in DLNA home network (2012)

Over the last decades, various kinds of Internet enabled devices have been developed. DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) has provided standard guidelines to improve the interoperability of DLNA-capable devices and to enhance the usability of digital contents through DLNA Certified devices. However, for several reasons, the transmission for media sharing between DLNA devices is still not seamless and users still experience low quality services, even between DLNA certified devices. In this paper, we address this problem from the respective of QoE (Quality of Experience) and present a system designed to keep user's service quality with reduced network resource consumption in terms of network bandwidth usage. As the key component in the system we propose Media Server that keeps media files encoded different qualities and delivers media files to multiple DLNA client devices, considering available bandwidth in a network. At each device request, the server chooses the media file that is the most appropriate for the devices with respect to the network status at the time of the request. Media files are classified into 5 different levels where each level has different bit rate. Before transmission, Media Server checks for the network status and selects the best video level that can be delivered to the client device with the best quality. We present the usefulness of our approach with results obtained from experimental studies to deliver video services seamlessly to meet users' quality requirements. Our results show that the proposed approach can also make better utilization of the limited home-network resources.
Prednisolone Treatment Does Not Interfere with 2′- <i>O</i> -Methyl Phosphorothioate Antisense-Mediated Exon Skipping in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (2011)

In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), dystrophin deficiency leading to progressive muscular degeneration is caused by frame-shifting mutations in the DMD gene. Antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) aim to restore the reading frame by skipping of a specific exon(s), thereby allowing the production of a shorter, but semifunctional protein, as is found in the mostly more mildly affected patients with Becker muscular dystrophy. AONs are currently being investigated in phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials. Most of the participating patients are treated symptomatically with corticosteroids (mainly predniso[lo]ne) to stabilize the muscle fibers, which might affect the uptake and/or efficiency of AONs. Therefore the effect of prednisolone on 2'-O-methyl phosphorothioate AON efficacy in patient-derived cultured muscle cells and the mdx mouse model (after local and systemic AON treatment) was assessed in this study. Both in vitro and in vivo skip efficiency and biomarker expression were comparable between saline- and prednisolone-cotreated cells and mice. After systemic exon 23-specific AON (23AON) treatment for 8 weeks, dystrophin was detectable in all treated mice. Western blot analyses indicated slightly higher dystrophin levels in prednisolone-treated mice, which might be explained by better muscle condition and consequently more target dystrophin pre-mRNA. In addition, fibrotic and regeneration biomarkers were normalized to some extent in prednisolone- and/or 23AON-treated mice. Overall these results show that the use of prednisone forms no barrier to participation in clinical trials with AONs.
Contamination of toothpaste and toothbrush by <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> (1978)

Toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes used by persons infected with S. mutans were examined for the presence of this microorganism. Fifteen minutes after brushing greater than 10(6) S. mutans were isolated from the toothbrushes and after ordinary storage for 24 h 10(4) were recovered. From two out of 10 toothpaste tubes S. mutans was isolated from the orifice of the tube. The implications of these findings for the spread of the microorganism are discussed.
Polymers with Metal‐Like Conductivity—A Review of their Synthesis, Structure and Properties (1981)

Abstract Polymers such as polyacetylene, which have an extended π‐electron system in their backbone, or like poly( p ‐phenylene) consist of a sequence of aromatic rings are excellent insulators in their native state and can be transformed by oxidation or reduction in the solid state into conductive CT‐complexes which exhibit metal‐like conduction characteristics. The chemical and physical processes involved and the reasons for the observed quasimetallic conductivity are not yet fully understood. The real structure of these materials in chemical and physical terms, i. e. their complicated morphology and texture, as well as the results available on the structure‐property relationships of the “organic metals” must be considered when discussing their properties. In other words, a discussion of conductive polymers should be based on what is known of the highly conducting CT‐complexes of low‐molecular weight compounds. The discovery of the highly conducting polymer complexes has opened up a new interdisciplinary field of research which borders on polymer science, solid‐state and semiconductor physics and on organic solid‐state chemistry. It is hoped that this area will lead to numerous novel materials and technical applications.
Identification and characterization of a novel repressor site in the human tumor necrosis factor α gene (1994)

In human monocytic cell lines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) expression is induced by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). We have identified positive and negative cis-acting elements in the TNF alpha promoter by deletion analysis. Here we present the initial characterization of the repressor element. The repressor element was shown to function in either orientation and at various distances upstream from the positive element of the TNF alpha promoter. The TNF alpha repressor site (TRS) has been localized to a 25 bp region between base pairs -254 and -230 in the promoter. This region contains a 10 bp sequence with homology to the binding site of the activator protein AP-2. Mutation of the 6 C's of this 10 bp AP-2-like site abolish TRS repressor function. However, this AP-2-like site is not a binding site for AP-2 protein based on gel retardation analysis. In addition, a well-characterized AP-2-binding site placed upstream of the positive element of the TNF alpha gene did not cause repression. Therefore, this repression is very likely mediated by a novel protein(s) which interacts with the AP-2 consensus site in the TRS.

Integration of Magnetoresistive Biochips on a CMOS Circuit (2012)

Since 2006, fully scalable matrix-based magnetoresistive biochips have been proposed. This integration was initially achieved with thin film switching devices and moved to complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) switching devices and electronics. In this paper, a new microfabrication process is proposed to integrate magnetoresistive sensors on a small CMOS chip (4 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ). This chip includes a current generator, multiplexers, and a diode in series with a spin valve as matrix element. In this configuration, it is shown that the fabricated spin-valves have similar magnetic characteristics when compared to standalone spin valves. This validates the successfulness of the developed microfabrication process. The noise of each matrix element is further characterized and compared to the noise of a standalone spin valve and a portable electronic platform designed to perform biological assays. Although the noise is still higher, the spin valve integrated on the CMOS chip enables an increase in density and compactness of the measuring electronics.
Hearing screening for school children: comparison of low‐cost, computer‐based and conventional audiometry (2010)

The study results and preliminary practical experience with the system suggest that, with further software and hardware improvements, a low-cost, computer-based system may well be feasible for routine school screening in developing countries.
Reactions in Glass-Ionomer Cements: IV. Effect of Chelating Comonomers on Setting Behavior (1976)

The oscillating rheometer is a valuable instrument for studying the effects of additives on the setting behavior of a cement system. Using this instrument, it was found that certain chelating comonomers, the hydroxycarboxylic acids, could improve the setting characteristics of the glass-ionomer cement system when added to the PAA solution. The acid chelates probably assign the extraction of metal ions from the glass and also tend to hold them in solution, preventing premature ion binding of the polyanion chains. The effect is to increase the rate of hardening without reducing the working time, which may indeed by slightly increased. Tartaric acid, the most effective of the comonomers, can form a chelate bridge between aluminum atoms, and this metal complex probably acts as a flexible bridge structure linking polyanion chains. This mechanism offers some steric advantages over a simple salt bridge.

Controlled Localized Heat Therapy in Cutaneous Warts (1992)

Controlled localized heating can cause the regression of hand warts. The 86% regression rate compares favorably with other wart treatment modalities. The mechanism of action and the effect of heat on these virally induced tumors is not known but may involve direct antiviral effects, physical destruction of the tumor, or the promotion of an inflammatory response that ultimately eradicates the lesion.
Wound-healing of the corneal endothelium in the monkey: a morphometric study. (1982)

Topographical aspects and the time course of the healing processes in the corneal endothelium were studied in 31 cynomolgus monkey eyes. The corneal endothelium was damaged at the center by transcorneal freezing, using a probe with a tip diameter of 2.5 mm. Flat preparations of the endothelium stained with silver nitrate were made at various time intervals after freezing. Panoramic photographs of the corneal endothelium along the entire length of one meridian were made, and the sizes of individual cells were calculated by a computerized image analyzer. The size and shape of the endothelial cells showed marked changes around the wound edge, and the cells migrated to the duodenal area, which was covered by the endothelial cells in 3 days. Subsequently, the cell size distribution recovered toward the normal pattern, but multinucleated giant cells persisted in the center of the wound after one year. A slow enlargement of the cells occurred in the periphery, where final average cell size was about 25% larger than the original level. It was thought that the cells of a very wide area were mobilized in the wound-healing processes and that cell proliferation probably played a minor role.
Isolation and chemical characterization of neutral glycosphingolipids of human neutrophils. (1980)

Six neutral glycosphingolipids were isolated from purified preparations of human neutrophils. The chemical structure of each compound was characterized by degradation with exoglycosidases, methylation analysis, and electron impact/desorption mass spectrometry. The following structures were assigned on the basis of these detailed analyses: Glc beta 1 leads to 1Cer Gal beta 1 leads to 1Cer Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc beta 1 leads to 1Cer Gal alpha 1 leads to 4Gal beta 1 leads to 1Cer GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc beta 1 leads to 1Cer Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc beta 1 leads to 1Cer. Neutral glycosphingolipids containing N-acetylgalactosamine were not detected in human neutrophils. The major neutral glycosphingolipids were lactosylceramide and lactoneotetraosylceramide. Although lactoneotriaosylceramide accounts for only 10% of the neutral glycosphingolipid fraction, neutrophils are the most readily available source of this compound. We may conclude that human neutrophils, in contrast to human erythrocytes and platelets, contain as their major neutral glycosphingolipids lactoneo-type structures and smaller amounts of gala-type structures. These findings are discussed in terms of blood group antigens and glycosphingolipid changes due to malignancy.
MRI and Clinical Characteristics of Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy (1999)

Magnetic resonance imagings of 91 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy were analysed with the aim of clustering their features into fairly homogeneous forms. In addition, the different clinical patterns of each form were described. Four main types of lesion were distinguished: form 1 (13 cases), which comprised brain malformations, form 2 (41 subjects), which grouped abnormalities of the periventricular white matter, form 3 (27 children), which was represented by cortical-subcortical lesions, and form 4 (10 subjects), which grouped non-progressive postnatal brain injuries. None of the children had normal MRI and a high incidence of bilateral lesions was found, especially in form 2. A left motor involvement was prevalent in the sample and was noted in all but the third form. The severity of impairment was mainly moderate in forms 1 and 3, mild in the others. The upper limb was found to be more affected in all forms except the second one, which presented a greater involvement of the lower limb. Mental retardation occurred in about one-third of the children with forms 1 and 4, less often in the other two. Seizures occurred in about half of the children with forms 1 or 3, while the incidence was lower in forms 4 and 2. A strong correlation between the presence of seizures and mental retardation was observed. The results of this study show the importance of MRI in the evaluation of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
