Biosystems for Air Protection (2010)

Living organisms such as microorganisms, plants or animals in their natural habitat have a great potential for the protection of atmospheric air. Since many of living organisms demonstrate bioindication and/or bioaccumulation abilities, they can be employed for biomonitoring of air pollution and removal of various pollutants from the atmosphere. Biomonitoring of air pollution allows for determination of direct biological effects of air pollutants, and therefore it provides an early warning of air quality changes. Moreover, biomonitoring is cost-efficient and as such can be an alternative or complementary tool for analytical methods. Successful biomonitoring approach requires the selection of a suitable biological indicator with a known cause-effect or exposure-response relationship to various air pollutants, designing the observation network and developing a sampling method. In coming years programs for biomonitoring of air pollution will need further development in terms of environmental policies, regulations and methodologies which will assure obtaining statistically reliable data comparable on many levels, such as local, regional or international. Due to the ability to accumulate various air pollutants, many living organisms can be used to reduce the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere or to mitigate the effects of air
Robust Mouse Pattern Electroretinograms Derived Simultaneously From Each Eye Using a Common Snout Electrode (2014)

The PERG, a sensitive measure of RGC function, is used increasingly in mouse models of glaucoma and optic nerve disease. Compared to current methods, the binocular snout PERG represents a substantial improvement in terms of simplicity and speed. It also overcomes limitations of corneal electrodes that interfere with invasive procedures of the eye and facilitates experiments based on comparison between the responses of the two eyes.

Palladium catalyzed alkenyl amination: from enamines to heterocyclic synthesis (2005)

The most recent advances in the Pd catalyzed amination of alkenyl halides directed towards the synthesis of imines and enamines are reviewed. The application of this cross-coupling reaction in the synthesis of heterocycles appears to be a potentially powerful methodology. The few examples already available are also discussed.
Blue light specific and differential expression of a plastid σ factor, Sig5 in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (2002)

The transcription of plastid gene psbD is under the control of the BLRP (blue-light-responsive promoter) recognized by plastid-encoded RNA polymerase, in which nuclear-encoded sigma factors play a crucial role in the promoter recognition. We examined the effects of light on mRNA levels of six different SIG genes in Arabidopsis and found that blue light extensively induced the accumulation of SIG5 transcripts, but red light did not. The blue light specificity was not observed in the accumulations of remaining five SIG genes. The blue light dependency of the SIG5 expression well explains the light-dependent behavior of the psbD BLRP.
An aspectual interface for supporting complex search tasks (2009)

With the increasing importance of search systems on the web, there is a continuing push to design interfaces which are a better match with the kinds of real-world tasks in which users are engaged. In this paper, we consider how broad, complex search tasks may be supported via the search interface. In particular, we consider search tasks which may be composed of multiple aspects, or multiple related subtasks. For example, in decision making tasks the user may investigate multiple possible solutions before settling on a single, final solution, while other tasks, such as report writing, may involve searching on multiple interrelated topics.
Algorithm for 3D Point Cloud Denoising (2009)

The raw data of point cloud produced by 3D scanning tools contains additive noise from various sources. This paper proposes a method for 3D unorganized point cloud denoising by making full use of the depth information of unorganized points and space analytic geometry theory, applying over-domain average method for 2D image of image denoising theory to 3D point data. The point cloud noises are filtered by using irregular polyhedron based on the limited local neighborhoods. The experiment shows that the proposed method successfully removes noise from point cloud with the features of the scattered point model reserved. Furthermore, the presented algorithm excels in its simplicity both in implementation and operation.
Path length analyzer for digital microwave radio (2003)

An instrument is proposed that would use the tellurometer technique of T.L. Wadley (1958) to analyze the electrical length as opposed to the physical length of a microwave radio's propagation path. The instrument can be used by the line-of-sight radio-link engineer to assess such factors as stable and turbulent atmospheric multipath, reflections from elevated ground layers, reflections from atmospheric sheets, reflections from ground or water, reflections due to inverse bending and ducting. The full extent of the usefulness of the instrument has not yet been investigated. A practical example of the analysis of the ground reflection is given. Time-domain analysis is suggested for analyzing paths under test.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Evaluating post-release behaviour modification in large pelagic fish deployed with pop-up satellite archival tags (2011)

Post-release behaviour modification, possibly a result of capture and handling stress, was evaluated using empirical eigenfunction analysis to detect changes in vertical movement patterns recorded by 183 pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) deployed on large pelagic fish. Argos-transmitted summary, timed interval, and some archival data were included. Scoring of irregular post-release behaviour was based on a separation of plotted eigenfunction coefficient values by their mean, with the transection across the mean reference line denoting the duration of irregular behaviour. In all, 67 (36.6%) individual fish exhibited irregular behaviour, lasting from 3 to 60 d (mean 15.8, s.d. 10.4). An additional 27 (14.8%) displayed patterns suggestive of irregular behaviour. Data quality and quantity were important criteria for revealing behaviour patterns. Irregular behaviour was detected in 32.6% of Argos-transmitted dataseries, increasing to 60.6% in the higher-resolution archival series. Decreased vertical movement characterized the irregular behaviour of blue sharks (Prionace glauca) and porbeagles (Lamna nasus), whereas all other species showed increased vertical activity. The approach described provides a useful method of revealing behavioural modification during the post-release recovery period of PSAT-tagged large pelagic fish, although the extent of influence on normal behaviour is not fully understood.
Memory-based parsing with parallel marker-passing (2002)

Presents a parallel memory-based parser called PARALLEL, which is implemented on a marker-passing parallel AI computer called the Semantic Network Array Processor (SNAP). In the PARALLEL memory-based parser, the parallelism in natural language processing is utilized by a memory search model of parsing. Linguistic information is stored as phrasal patterns in a semantic network knowledge base that is distributed over the memory of the parallel computer. Parsing is performed by recognizing and linking linguistic patterns that reflect a sentence interpretation. This is achieved via propagating markers over the distributed network. We have developed a system capable of processing newswire articles about terrorism with a large knowledge base of 12,000 semantic network nodes. This paper presents the structure of the system, the memory-based parsing method used and performance results obtained.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Fluorescent Analogs of Biomolecular Building Blocks (2016)

Fluorescent Analogs of Biomolecular Building Blocks focuses on the design of fluorescent probes for the four major families of macromolecular building blocks. Compiling the expertise of multiple authors, this book moves from introductory chapters to an exploration of the design, synthesis, and implementation of new fluorescent analogues of biomolecular building blocks, including examples of small-molecule fluorophores and sensors that are part of biomolecular assemblies.
Nonselective Adsorption of Block Copolymers and the Effect of Block Incompatibility (1998)

The adsorbed amount and the hydrodynamic layer thickness of two series of block copolymers and the corresponding homopolymers on silica were determined. We used diblock copolymers of poly(vinyl methyl ether) and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and tri- and diblock copolymers of poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(ethylene oxide). The diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) were obtained by polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline initiated by the tosylate of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether. The difference between the adsorption energies of the segments is found to be small: the block copolymer adsorption is nonselective. The adsorbed amount as a function of block copolymer composition shows a maximum at a composition where the longest block is also the strongest adsorbing block. The adsorbed amounts and the layer thicknesses are relatively low. Similar results are obtained with numerical self-consistent field calculations for nonselective adsorption for the case when the different blocks are incompatible. The typical anchor−buoy structure of the adsorbed layer is maintained, albeit less explicit than that found for selective adsorption.
Ferroelectric liquid crystalline block copolymers (1996)

Ferroelectric liquid crystal (LC) polymers have several advantages compared to low molecular weight ferroelectric LCs (as well as a few disadvantages). The synthesis, characterization, and physical properties of a ferroelectric LC homopolymer and a related new ferroelectric LC polymer system—consisting of a block copolymer with microdomain morphology—are reported. The nearly total absence of hysteresis indicates that the system is monostable, which could make such polymers suitable for display applications with active matrix addressing.
A software engineering tool for expert system design (1988)

The properties of design tools for expert systems are identified. A design tool is presented for constructing production-type knowledge bases that provides a straightforward methodology and adheres to these properties. The use of decision tables in software design is discussed, and a modified table that can be used for the present application is presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Telavancin for the treatment of serious gram-positive infections, including hospital acquired pneumonia (2011)

Telavancin is a lipoglycopeptide antibiotic with rapid, bactericidal activity against MRSA, and may provide another option for the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia, owing to Gram-positive pathogens.
Server-guided watermarking for resource-constrained devices (2009)

Distribution of multimedia content to CE devices poses challenges for content owners to protect their products. Conditional access and digital rights management systems are barely sufficient against content redistribution by legal subscribers. Adding watermarking techniques allows one to trace the user would an infringement have occurred. Many CE devices, however, have insufficient processing resources to perform real-time watermarking of video or even audio content. In this paper, we discuss a scheme that enables a fast audio watermarking for multimedia broadcasting to CE devices. The proposed technique reuses existing components of conditional access system. We discuss the implementation of the technique in systems based on Digital Video Broadcasting standards.
Liquid crystal polymer-based integrated passive development for RF applications (2003)

A Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) based multilayer packaging process is presented for RF/microwave applications. LCP is gaining increasing interest as a choice technology in the packaging community due to its superior thermal and electrical properties including low loss, low dielectric constant and low CTE characteristics. For the first time, we present a thorough study of the design, model, and measurement of integrated passives using LCP. A coplanar waveguide transmission line test structure demonstrates an insertion loss of 0.35 dB at 23 GHz and a return loss better than 15 dB to 30 GHz. Quality factors (Q) in excess of 70 and a self resonance frequency (SRF) to 29 GHz have been achieved. A bandpass filter implementation is also demonstrated to realize a c band module. Advantages of passive integration using built up LCPs as opposed to multilayer organics are discussed.
SISTEMAS CAD. NUEVAS TENDENCIAS EN LOS PROGRAMAS DE MODELADO DE SOLIDOS (2001)

Actualmente son bastantes las empresas y profesionales que ya utilizan el Diseno Asistido por Computador CAD en su oficina tecnica.

Decrease in the Effectiveness of Bacille Calmette‐Guérin Vaccine against Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Consequence of Increased Immune Suppression by Microbial Antioxidants, Not Overattenuation (2010)

Mutations that arose in bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) daughter strains during decades of in vitro cultivation have long been suspected of reducing the efficacy of the BCG vaccine against pulmonary tuberculosis. Although concern was raised 6 decades ago that BCG had become overattenuated, preferential use of relatively virulent BCG vaccines has not restored efficacy. The recent discovery that as BCG evolved its production of antioxidants increased as a consequence of genomic duplications and other mutations suggests the alternative hypothesis that BCG became better at suppressing oxidant-dependent immune responses. This new model of BCG evolution is supported by evidence indicating that reducing BCG antioxidants enhances immunogenicity. Furthermore, some previously unexplained aspects of the performance of the BCG vaccine in clinical trials now make sense in the context of the new model. Finally, the model suggests that the risk of developing pulmonary tuberculosis is influenced by the balance between host-generated oxidants and microbial antioxidants that activate and suppress, respectively, the antigen-presentation pathways that protect the lungs.
Gut inflammation in chronic fatigue syndrome (2010)

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue and a combination of accompanying symptoms the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Many CFS patients complain of gut dysfunction. In fact, patients with CFS are more likely to report a previous diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common functional disorder of the gut, and experience IBS-related symptoms. Recently, evidence for interactions between the intestinal microbiota, mucosal barrier function, and the immune system have been shown to play a role in the disorder's pathogenesis.Studies examining the microecology of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have identified specific microorganisms whose presence appears related to disease; in CFS, a role for altered intestinal microbiota in the pathogenesis of the disease has recently been suggested. Mucosal barrier dysfunction promoting bacterial translocation has also been observed. Finally, an altered mucosal immune system has been associated with the disease. In this article, we discuss the interplay between these factors in CFS and how they could play a significant role in GI dysfunction by modulating the activity of the enteric nervous system, the intrinsic innervation of the gut.If an altered intestinal microbiota, mucosal barrier dysfunction, and aberrant intestinal immunity contribute to the pathogenesis of CFS, therapeutic efforts to modify gut microbiota could be a means to modulate the development and/or progression of this disorder. For example, the administration of probiotics could alter the gut microbiota, improve mucosal barrier function, decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines, and have the potential to positively influence mood in patients where both emotional symptoms and inflammatory immune signals are elevated. Probiotics also have the potential to improve gut motility, which is dysfunctional in many CFS patients.
The catalysis of the reaction between carbon dioxide and water (1966)

The rate of the reaction between carbon dioxide and water has been studied over a wide range of pH in the presence of different buffers by a manometric method. The catalysis of the reaction by a range of anions has also been examined. No correlation between the dissociation constant of the conjugate acid of the anion and its catalytic constant was observed. Possible explanations are offered in terms of the geometric and electronic structures of the bases.
<title>Color image enhancement using color constancy based on modified IHS coordinate system</title> (1993)

Color image enhancement to restore natural color by excluding the effect of the ambient illumination is important in recent image processing. In this paper, a new color image enhancement method using color constancy based on pseudo-linearly modified IHS coordinate system is proposed. Since the color constancy processing preserves only hue while reducing the dynamic range of lightness and saturation, the technique of dynamic range increase is used to compensate them. The proposed method, which analyzes the relationship between the RGB and modified IHS coordinate system, transforms and increases lightness and saturation simultaneously to avoid the complexity in the related transformation.
How many biomarkers to discriminate neurodegenerative dementia? (2015)

A number of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are currently used for the diagnosis of dementia. Opposite changes in the level of amyloid-β(1-42) versus total tau and phosphorylated-tau181 in the CSF reflect the specific pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the brain. This panel of biomarkers has proven to be effective to differentiate AD from controls and from the major types of neurodegenerative dementia, and to evaluate the progression from mild cognitive impairment to AD. In the absence of specific biomarkers reflecting the pathologies of the other most common forms of dementia, such as Lewy Body disease, Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, etc., the evaluation of biomarkers of AD pathology is used, attempting to exclude rather than to confirm AD. Other biomarkers included in the common clinical practice do not clearly relate to the underlying pathology: progranulin (PGRN) is a selective marker of frontotemporal dementia with mutations in the PGRN gene; the 14-3-3 protein is a highly sensitive and specific marker for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, but has to be used carefully in differentiating rapid progressive dementia; and α-synuclein is an emerging candidate biomarker of the different forms of synucleinopathy. This review summarizes several biomarkers of neurodegenerative dementia validated based on the neuropathological processes occurring in brain tissue. Notwithstanding the paucity of pathologically validated biomarkers and their high analytical variability, the combinations of these biomarkers may well represent a key and more precise analytical and diagnostic tool in the complex plethora of degenerative dementia.
Let's Play Hide-and-Seek (2006)

With the advent of “smart” algorithmic trading systems driven in part by more transparent data offerings from market venues, information leakage from order placement is the nightmare of any market participant. Market participants are camouflaging their intent more than ever by strategic placement of hidden volume throughout the order book via iceberg and/or discretionary limit orders. This paper identifies simple, stylized facts which will allow other market participants to evaluate the likelihood of finding hidden volume. Based on our model, we can predict the hidden volume and also assess the probability that a market order will be executed within the spread and better than the mid-quote. The cost per immediate execution can be better assessed. Moreover, we can identify the delicate balance between submitting a hidden versus visible limit order that an informed trader may use to stimulate the market towards an equilibrium goal without revealing too much information. <b>TOPICS:</b>Equity portfolio management, quantitative methods, in portfolio management
Tissue fibrocytes in patients with mild asthma: A possible link to thickness of reticular basement membrane? (2006)

These findings indicate a correlation between recruited fibrocytes in tissue and thickness of basement membrane. Fibroblast progenitor cells may therefore be important in airway remodeling in steroid-naive patients with mild asthma.
