<b>Induction of intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 in human nasal epithelial cells during respiratory syncytial virus infection</b> (1996)

The effects of infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) on expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 was determined in vitro in nasal epithelial cell cultures. Functional consequences of changes in ICAM-1 expression were assessed by measuring adhesion of a human leukaemic T-cell line to RSV-infected epithelial cells. Also, adhesion of phytohaemagglutinin-activated tonsillar lymphocytes (TL) to RSV-infected epithelial cells caused a significant increase in interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-5 production. Release of these cytokines was adhesion dependent as non-adherent TL produced significantly less IL-4 or IL-5. However, no significant difference was observed for IL-2 or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production. These observations suggest that RSV-infected epithelial cells may induce T-helper type-2 (Th2)-like cytokines by mucosal lymphocytes during mucosal infection in vivo.

Targeting isoaspartate-modified Aβ rescues behavioral deficits in transgenic mice with Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology (2020)

The present study demonstrates, for the first time, that the antibody-mediated targeting of isoD7-modified Aβ peptides leads to attenuation of AD-like amyloid pathology. In conjunction with previously published data on antibodies directed against pGlu-modified Aβ, the results highlight the crucial role of modified Aβ peptides in AD pathophysiology. Hence, the results also underscore the therapeutic potential of targeting modified amyloid species for defining tailored approaches in AD therapy.
Review: Aberrant <i><scp>EVI</scp>1</i> expression in acute myeloid leukaemia (2016)

Deregulated expression of the ecotropic virus integration site 1 (EVI1) gene is the molecular hallmark of therapy-resistant myeloid malignancies bearing chromosomal inv(3)(q21q26·2) or t(3;3)(q21;q26·2) [hereafter referred to as inv(3)/t(3;3)] abnormalities. EVI1 is a haematopoietic stemness and transcription factor with chromatin remodelling activity. Interestingly, the EVI1 gene also shows overexpression in 6-11% of adult acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cases that do not carry any 3q aberrations. Deregulated expression of EVI1 is strongly associated with monosomy 7 and 11q23 abnormalities, which are known to be associated with poor response to treatment. However, EVI1 overexpression has been revealed as an important independent adverse prognostic marker in adult AML and defines distinct risk categories in 11q23-rearranged AML. Recently, important progress has been made in the delineation of the mechanism by which EVI1 becomes deregulated in inv(3)/t(3;3) as well as the cooperating mutations in this specific subset of AML with dismal prognosis.
Considerations for the use of DNS Reverse Mapping (2008)

Mapping of addresses to names is a feature of DNS. Many sites
implement it, many others do not. Some applications attempt to use it
as a part of a security strategy. This document outlines what should
be taken into account when deciding whether to implement reverse
mappings of addresses to names, suggests that site administrators
implement reverse mappings if there are no strong considerations
against such mappings, and provides considerations to be taken into
account when using reverse mappings.

Sudden infant death in a patient with <i>FGFR3</i> P250R mutation (2006)

P250R mutation in the FGFR3 gene also known as Muenke syndrome is associated with coronal craniosynostosis, sensorineural deafness, craniofacial, and digital abnormalities. We report a family with this mutation associated with sudden death in an affected newborn, most probably due to upper airway obstruction.
Vapor-Phase Atomic-Controllable Growth of Amorphous Li<sub>2</sub>S for High-Performance Lithium–Sulfur Batteries (2014)

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold great promise to meet the formidable energy storage requirements of future electrical vehicles but are prohibited from practical implementation by their severe capacity fading and the risks imposed by Li metal anodes. Nanoscale Li(2)S offers the possibility to overcome these challenges, but no synthetic technique exists for fine-tailoring Li(2)S at the nanoscale. Herein we report a vapor-phase atomic layer deposition (ALD) method for the atomic-scale-controllable synthesis of Li(2)S. Besides a comprehensive investigation of the ALD Li(2)S growth mechanism, we further describe the high performance of the resulting amorphous Li(2)S nanofilms as cathodes in Li-S batteries, achieving a stable capacity of ∼ 800 mA · h/g, nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency, and excellent rate capability. Nanoscale Li(2)S holds great potential for both bulk-type and thin-film high-energy Li-S batteries.
Routing of VoIP traffic in multilayered satellite networks (2003)

Broadband satellite constellation networks will be required to carry all types of IP traffic, real time interactive traffic as well as nonreal time traffic, warranting the need for appropriate QoS for these different traffic flows. In this paper we investigate advantages of employing constraint-based routing using MPLS in a multilayered hierarchical satellite constellation. Bandwidth availability or residual bandwidth on a satellite link is taken into account when setting up routes for high priority real-time traffic e.g. VoIP, which is sensitive to delay and jitter. Also to protect the VoIP traffic from being swamped by bursty best-effort traffic we propose to have a separate queue for high priority traffic. The performance of the prioritized load balancing routing algorithm on a multi-layered satellite network is simulated and analyzed.
UWB MISO Time Reversal With Energy Detector Receiver Over ISI Channels (2007)

This paper investigates a multiple input single output (MISO) time reversal system for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication over inter-symbol interference (ISI) channels. Time reversal takes advantage of rich scattering environments to achieve signal focusing, which enables the use of simple receiver structures without sacrificing performance. On-off-keying (OOK) modulation and energy detection (square law) are considered for the purpose of low complexity at the receiver. This research is motivated by the need for high-data-rate wireless network with simple receive nodes. The discrete channel models and bit error rate (BER) formulas for the energy detector receiver over ISI channels are derived. Performance is evaluated based on measured data, considering practical signal waveforms. One reason to use our own measured data is that there is no proper UWB channel model for antenna array related study. Numerical results suggest that the proposed MISO time reversal system with extremely simple receiver is promising to support high data rate in severe multipath environments for robust communication in the UWB band.
Implementation of a 3GPP LTE turbo decoder accelerator on GPU (2010)

This paper presents a 3GPP LTE compliant turbo decoder accelerator on GPU. The challenge of implementing a turbo decoder is finding an efficient mapping of the decoder algorithm on GPU, e.g. finding a good way to parallelize workload across cores and allocate and use fast on-die memory to improve throughput. In our implementation, we increase throughput through 1) distributing the decoding workload for a codeword across multiple cores, 2) decoding multiple codewords simultaneously to increase concurrency and 3) employing memory optimization techniques to reduce memory bandwidth requirements. In addition, we analyze how different MAP algorithm approximations affect both throughput and bit error rate (BER) performance of this decoder.
Rapid Isolation, Expansion, and Differentiation of Osteoprogenitors from Full-Term Umbilical Cord Blood (2005)

There is an urgent clinical requirement for appropriate bone substitutes that can be used for the repair and regeneration of diseased or damaged skeletal tissues. Cell-sourcing limitations in particular have affected progress, largely because of the shortage of accessible tissues capable of yielding sufficient numbers of viable osteoprogenitor cells. Previous work has suggested that umbilical cord blood (UCB) contains circulating progenitor cells (mesenchymal stem cells) capable of osteogenic differentiation, although a comparable number of reports refute this claim. From a screen of more than 20 different culture conditions, we have identified an optimal, simple, and reliable technique to generate, from full-term human UCB, stromal cells with the ability to undergo rapid osteogenic differentiation. By comparing different sorting and culture strategies, we demonstrated that early exposure of mononuclear UCB cells to medium conditioned by osteoblastic cells in the presence of osteogenic supplements and human plasma, markedly increased the frequency of stromal cell growth, the rate of osteogenic differentiation, and their attachment to and spreading on calcium phosphate scaffolds. These findings suggest that full-term UCB may act as an appropriate source of osteoprogenitor cells, which will impact significantly on the development of autologous tissue- engineered bone constructs.
The QoS-Aware Order Prediction Scheduling (QOPS) Scheme for Video Streaming Using the Multi-path Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (MP-DCCP) (2012)

Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) is an unreliable transport layer protocol with a congestion control mechanism used for multimedia streaming. In order to use multiple network interfaces to transmit streaming data smoothly, a Multi-Path Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (MP-DCCP) is proposed and presented in this paper. Video streaming transmission through multi-path faces three problems: (1) out-of-ordering packets at the receiver side, (2) conditions of paths are changed anytime, and (3) the importances of frames/packets are different. The first problem may let video streaming data be delivered to the application layer too late, especially for the live streaming data. The second and third problems may let a packet be scheduled to an unsuitable path for transmission. Since importances of video streaming frames/packets are different, it should consider how to schedule the transmission of frames/packets properly. For example, an important frame/packet should be transmitted in the more reliable path. In order to resolve these three problems, a QoS-aware Order Prediction Scheduling (QOPS) scheme for MP-DCCP is proposed in this paper. QOPS estimates packets' arrival orders at the receive side through these multiple paths before packets are scheduled into the transmission at the sender side. From simulation results, we proved that the packets' out-of-ordering problem in MPDCCP can be improved using our proposed QOPS scheme.
Comparison of antioxidative activities from different organs of Rosa rugosa Thunb (2001)

DPPH(1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and Vitamin contents in different plant parts and harvesting time of Rosa rugosa Thunb were determined. Among the plants parts analysed, the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity in part was root , leaf contained the highest ascorbic acid content of 2999.6 mg/100g. Fruit contained ascorbic acid (713.6 mg/ 100g) 4.2 times less than leaf. Vitamin contents in leaf parts also differed depanding on harvesting time. Vitamin content in leaf harvested in November was much higher than that in September. Spectrophotometric analysis of total in leaf showed lower contents than that in fruit.
A Campylobacter jejuni homolog of the LcrD/FlbF family of proteins is necessary for flagellar biogenesis (1993)

A Campylobacter jejuni homolog of the lcrD/flbF family of genes was cloned and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of the gene, called flbA, predicted a protein of 78,864 Da, with significant homology to a group of related proteins including the Yersinia pestis LcrD, Salmonella typhimurium InvA, and Caulobacter crescentus FlbF proteins. The greatest homology was seen with the C. crescentus FlbF protein, with an overall amino acid sequence homology of 57%. An insertion mutation in the C. jejuni 81-176 flbA gene was constructed. The resultant strain did not synthesize flagellin and was nonmotile.
Facile Access to Multisensitive and Self-Healing Hydrogels with Reversible and Dynamic Boronic Ester and Disulfide Linkages (2017)

Multifunctional and multiresponsive hydrogels have presented a promising platform to design and fabricate smart devices for application in a wide variety of fields. However, their preparations often involve multistep preparation of multiresponsive polymer precursors, tedious reactions to introduce functional groups or sophisticated molecular designs. In this work, a multifunctional boronic acid-based cross-linker bis(phenylboronic acid carbamoyl) cystamine (BPBAC) was readily prepared from inexpensive commercially available 3-carboxylphenylboronic acid (CPBA) and cystamine dihydrochloride, which has the ability to cross-link the cis-diols and catechol-containing hydrophilic polymers to form hydrogels. Due to the presence of the reversible and dynamic boronate ester and disulfide bonds, the obtained hydrogels were demonstrated to not only possess pH, glucose, and redox triresponsive features, but also have autonomic self-healing properties under ambient conditions. Moreover, we can modulate the rheological and mechanical properties by simply adjusting the BPBAC amount. The features, such as commercially available starting materials, easy-to-implement approach, and versatility in controlling cross-linking network and mechanical properties, make the strategy described here a promising platform for fabricating multifunctional and smart hydrogels.
A study of the effects of the process parameters on the flexographic printing problem “dot bridging” – Part I: experimental design and linear run length (2004)

Commercial pressure has forced improvements in the reduction of press down time. One restraining factor for the flexographic printing process has been the lack of predictability and consistency. The results of a factorial designed experiment, are reported in this paper. Investigations into the complex interactions of many variable factors that take place during the printing process were carried out. Various statistical methods were employed for the design of the experiment and for the interpretation of experimental data generated. The results of the investigation have been used to optimise the flexographic printing techniques to significantly manipulate the properties of various production components for the end‐use application to enhance the plates printing performance and consistency.
Suicide Past and Present: A Note on Jean Pierre Falret (1973)

ABSTRACT: In 1822 Dr. Jean Pierre Falret published, in French, a scholarly work on suicide. He reported on the number of suicides in the city of Paris and its environs, on the kind of people who become suicidal, and on the treatments, both physical and psychological, that were used for these patients. In this paper, Falret's book is examined for similarities and differences of approaches to the problem of suicide in nineteenth‐century France and in the current scene.

An air flow sensor based on interface thermal wave propagation (1986)

An air flow sensor that uses a flow-induced change of temperature oscillation phase at an air-solid interface is described and analyzed. The sensor is fabricated on silicon coated with polyimide. The source and detector of temperature oscillations are integrated on the same substrate but spatially separated. A narrow strip of metal film driven by ac is the source. A PbTe thin-film thermocouple is the detector. Device operation in still air is analyzed and compared with experiment. The temperature oscillation amplitude and phase on an interface with an oscillating strip heat source is derived for interface thermal resistance and for a layered substrate. Interference between thermal oscillations propagating from source to detector through the solid and through the air is predicted and observed with a 53-μm-thick polymide layer. In contrast, with a 16-μm-thick polyimide layer, interference that varies with frequency is not seen, also in agreement with theory. Experimental demonstration of flow response is also reported. Qualitative agreement with the predictions of a time-of-flight model of flow response is found.
Induction and regulation of immunoglobulin expression in a murine pre-B cell line, 70Z/3. I. Cell cycle-associated induction of sIgM expression and <i>kappa</i>-chain synthesis in 70Z/3 cells by LPS stimulation. (1980)

Stimulation of a murine pre-B cell line, 70Z/3, with LPS induced sIgM expression and an increase of L kappa-chain mRNA within 12 hr. In synchronized 70Z/3 cells, the cell division cycle was 10 to 11 hr and LSP-stimulation did not affect the cell division cycle. LPS-signals given at G1/S boundary induced sIgM expression in the G2 to M-phase. On the other hand, LPS-signals given after M-phase did not induce sIgM expression. Inhibition of cell division with demecorcin did not affect sIgM expression in the M-phase. Induction of intracellular kappa-chain synthesis was also observed in the G2 to M-phase when the LPS-stimulation was provided at G1/S boundary, but LPS-signals given after the M-phase did not induce de novo synthesis of kappa-chain. These results showed that LPS-induced sIgM expression and synthesis of kappa-chain were cell cycle-related events and sIgM expression was associated wih de novo synthesis of kappa-chain.
Reuse Methodology Manual for System-on-a-Chip Designs (2002)

Features of the Third Edition: UP TO DATE STATE OF THE ART REUSE AS A SOLUTION FOR CIRCUIT DESIGNERS A CHRONICLE OF "BEST PRACTICES" ALL CHAPTERS UPDATED AND REVISED GENERIC GUIDELINES-NON TOOL SPECIFIC EMPHASIS ON HARD IP AND PHYSICAL DESIGN Reuse Methodology Manual for System-on-a-Chip Designs, Third Edition outlines a set of best practices for creating reusable designs for use in a SoC design methodology. These practices are based on the authors' experience in developing reusable designs, as well as the experience of design teams in many companies around the world. Silicon and tool technologies move so quickly that many of the details of design-for-reuse will undoubtedly continue to evolve over time. But the fundamental aspects of the methodology described in this book have become widely adopted and are likely to form the foundation of chip design for some time to come.
Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Antibiotic-Resistant <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> in Healthy Children (1979)

We selected 16 schools representing a broad socioeconomic cross-section of metropolitan Omaha and obtained nasopharyngeal cultures for Haemophilus influenzae from 1,084 healthy 4- to 7-year-old children. We found that 34.2% of the children carried nontypable strains and 2.0% carried type b strains. Carriage rates were not influenced by recent illness, family size, or number of people sharing a bedroom. The prevalence of ampicillin-resistant H influenzae in the sample population was 0.9% for nontypable strains and 0.4% for type b strains; it was not significantly different in the group of children who had recently used beta-lactam antibiotics. One child carried a nontypable strain which was resistant to both chloramphenicol and tetracycline, the first chloramphenicol-resistant H influenzae detected in Omaha. A survey of healthy children may be a useful method for projecting a community's risk of disease caused by ampicillin-resistant H influenzae. Among the nasopharyngeal isolates from healthy children, 2.7% of nontypable strains and 18.2% of type b strains were resistant to ampicillin (P less than .01). During the same five-month period in Omaha, clinical failure in the treatment of otitis media with ampicillin was uncommon and four (20.0%) of 20 cases of H influenzae type b bacteremia and meningitis were caused by ampicillin-resistant organisms.

Dynamic switching of optical vortices with dynamic gamma-correction liquid crystal spiral phase plate (2005)

Generation and dynamic switching of optical vortices from charge 1 up to charge 6 at wavelength of 0.6328-microm by one dynamic gamma-correction liquid crystal spiral phase plate are reported. The liquid crystal spiral phase plate comprises 46 slices, which are driven by a 16- channel voltage output card. The spiral phase plate was designed based on the relationship between the topological charge purity of an optical vortex generated by the spiral phase plate and the total number of slices. The calculation results show that a minimum slice number of 44 is required for generating optical vortices up to charge 6 with charge purity above 94%.
Using 4-Color Flow Cytometry to Identify Abnormal Myeloid Populations (2003)

In experienced laboratories, 4-color flow cytometry represents a valuable addition to the workup of non-CML MPDs and MDSs.
