Effect of Cellulose Fiber Reinforcement on the Temperature Dependent Mechanical Performance of Nylon 6 (2008)

In order to quantify the effect of temperature on the mechanical properties of pure nylon 6 and its composite with cellulose fibers (containing 25 wt% cellulose fibers), the materials were sampled and tested at three representative temperatures of 256, 296, and 336 K. Flexural and tensile tests were performed and the reductions in mechanical properties were evaluated. The highest reductions were observed in stiffness (modulus) values and the cellulose fibers remarkably enhanced the high temperature resistance of nylon. The reductions in mechanical properties were well explained by a simple quadratic curve fitting procedure applied to experimental data. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was also performed to study the effect of temperature on mechanical performance. No shifting in glass transition temperature was observed, but the composite material showed less viscous behavior as seen by its lower mechanical loss factor (tan δ) values in the rubbery state. The results of the present study will be helpful in determining the end-use application of these composite materials.

Influence of nanostructure (layers and particles) on the magnetism of rare-earth materials (1999)

Elemental rare-earths R (Gd, Dy, Tb) are prepared in layer and particle form to look at the effects of geometry (layers or particles) and size (layer thickness or particle diameter) on their magnetism. All of the rare-earth systems show a maximum in coercivity (measured at 4.5 K) at about 10 nm (average particle diameter or layer thickness). Magnetic ordering temperature is reduced significantly compared to the bulk when size is reduced below 10 nm for both the layer and the particle geometry. Geometry has a significant effect on the maximum coercivity with particles tending to have larger coercivity than layers.
Alignment of Boron Nitride Nanotubes in Polymeric Composite Films for Thermal Conductivity Improvement (2010)

Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite fibers (<5 vol % BNNTs) were fabricated via electrospinning so that all BNNTs became aligned in the fiber casting direction. A several-fibers-thick ensemble of parallel-arranged contacting fibers made a single polymer sheet. Numerous sheets were then stacked in different ways with respect to the BNNT orientation (all fibers in adjacent sheets were either parallel or alternately rotated 90°) to make multilayer films that were finally hot-pressed. Various BNNT textures were reflected by the corresponding differences in the measured thermal conductivities of the resultant films due to anisotropy of thermal transport in the nanotubes. The highest values (0.54 W/mK) were obtained along the long axes of aligned BNNTs. Somewhat lower values (0.38 W/mK) were documented in films with alternately stacked fibers/tubes. The theoretical thermal conductivity values were estimated using the Nielsen's model. These show good match with the experimental data. The control of high-fraction BNNT (>10 vol %) alignment within the polymeric composites is proposed to be a promising way to further increase the polymeric film thermal conductivities toward wide practical applications.
Conceptual Design of a Pilot-Scale Pyroprocessing Facility (2018)

Argonne National Laboratory and Merrick & Company developed the conceptual design of a pilot-scale (100 T/year) pyroprocessing facility for the treatment of used fuel generated by commercial light water reactors and subsequent treatment of waste streams generated during the process. The primary purpose of this study was to perform sufficient engineering for the pilot facility conceptual design so that credible capital and operating cost estimates could be developed. Initial safety, safeguards, and security assessments were also completed to provide a detailed evaluation in these areas that can significantly affect both capital and operating costs. Electrorefining-based pyroprocessing resulted in a compact hot-cell facility with few process equipment systems. The process equipment and support systems were estimated to cost $93 million and the facility $305 million for a project total cost of $398 million. The annual operating cost was estimated at $53 million/year. Scaling up to a commercial-scale (400 T/year) was also evaluated and the capital cost was estimated at $911 million with annual operating cost of $90 million/year.
Randomized Response, Statistical Disclosure Control and Misclassificatio: a Review (2002)

Summary This paper discusses analysis of categorical data which have been misclassified and where misclassification probabilities are known. Fields where this kind of misclassification occurs are randomized response, statistical disclosure control, and classification with known sensitivity and specificity. Estimates of true frequencies are given, and adjustments to the odds ratio are discussed. Moment estimates and maximum Likelihood estimates are compared and it is proved that they are the same in the interior of the parameter space. Since moment estimators are regularly outside the parameter space, special attention is paid to the possibility of boundary solutions. An example is given.
A digital signal-processing instrument for impedance measurement (1996)

A digital signal processing (DSP)-based instrument for impedance measurement is proposed. It implements two measurement techniques: the first technique allows the tracking of a time varying impedance to be carried out, and the second assures that good accuracy is obtained in reasonable measurement times. Both the software and the hardware of a prototype model are described in detail. The measurement rates and accuracy are evaluated and compared with those obtained using a reference Digibridge for a wide range of impedance values.
Localization of type V collagen and type IV collagen in human cornea, lung, and skin. Immunohistochemical evidence by anti-collagen antibodies characterized by immunoelectroblotting. (1984)

Tissue distribution of Type V collagen in comparison with Type IV collagen was investigated by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Affinity-purified rat antibodies to Type IV and Type V collagens obtained from human placenta reacted specifically only with the corresponding type of collagen in both native and denatured conformations. In indirect immunofluorescent stainings of human skin, lung, and cornea tissues, Type IV and Type V collagens showed distinct distributions. Type IV collagen was distributed exclusively in basement membrane. However, Type V collagen had two characteristic features; a diffuse distribution in interstitium and the locations on or adjacent to basement membrane. On the basis of these findings and of biochemical characterization of the collagens, it is postulated that Type V collagen is an intermediate collagen, possibly having a function of binding or connecting of interstitial collagen fibrils with membranous collagen networks.

Allelic polymorphisms in apical membrane antigen‐1 are responsible for evasion of antibody‐mediated inhibition in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> (2004)

Apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA-1) is a target of antibodies that inhibit invasion of Plasmodium falciparum into human erythrocytes and is a candidate for inclusion in a malaria vaccine. We have identified a line of P. falciparum (W2mef) less susceptible to anti-AMA1 antibodies raised to the protein from a heterologous parasite line (3D7). We have constructed transgenic P. falciparum expressing heterologous AMA-1 alleles. In vitro invasion assays show that these transgenic parasites differ from parental lines in susceptibility to inhibitory antibodies, providing direct evidence that sequence polymorphisms within AMA-1 are responsible for evasion of immune responses that inhibit parasite invasion. We also generated a parasite line that would express a chimeric AMA-1 protein, in which highly polymorphic residues within domain 1 were exchanged. Inhibition assays suggest that these residues are not sufficient for inhibition by invasion-blocking antibodies. This study is the first to use P. falciparum allelic exchange to examine the relationship between genetic diversity and susceptibility to protective antibodies. The findings have important implications for the development of an AMA-1-based malaria vaccine.
Nitric oxide and platelet energy metabolism. (2004)

This study was undertaken to determine whether nitric oxide (NO) can affect platelet responses through the inhibition of energy production. It was found that NO donors: S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicyllamine, SNAP, (5-50 microM) and sodium nitroprusside, SNP, (5-100 microM) inhibited collagen- and ADP-induced aggregation of porcine platelets. The corresponding IC50 values for SNAP and SNP varied from 5 to 30 microM and from 9 to 75 microM, respectively. Collagen- and thrombin-induced platelet secretion was inhibited by SNAP (IC50 = 50 microM) and by SNP (IC50 = 100 microM). SNAP (20-100 microM), SNP (10-200 microM) and collagen (20 microg/ml) stimulated glycolysis in intact platelets. The degree of glycolysis stimulation exerted by NO donors was similar to that produced by respiratory chain inhibitors (cyanide and antimycin A) or uncouplers (2,4-dinitrophenol). Neither the NO donors nor the respiratory chain blockers affected glycolysis in platelet homogenate. SNAP (20-100 microM) and SNP (50-200 microM) inhibited oxygen consumption by platelets. The effect of SNP and SNAP on glycolysis and respiration was not reduced by 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one, a selective inhibitor of NO-stimulated guanylate cyclase. SNAP (5-100 microM) and SNP (10-300 microM) inhibited the activity of platelet cytochrome oxidase and had no effect on NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase and succinate dehydrogenase. Blocking of the mitochondrial energy production by antimycin A slightly affected collagen-evoked aggregation and strongly inhibited platelet secretion. The results indicate that: 1) in porcine platelets NO is able to diminish mitochondrial energy production through the inhibition of cytochrome oxidase, 2) the inhibitory effect of NO on platelet secretion (but not aggregation) can be attributed to the reduction of mitochondrial energy production.
Astrovirus Infection in Hatchling Turkeys: Alterations in Intestinal Maltase Activity (1995)

Two experiments were conducted to determine intestinal disaccharidase activity in 1-day-old commercial turkey poults inoculated with astrovirus. Small intestinal samples were collected on days 0.5, 1, 3, and 7 postinoculation (PI) in Expt. 1 and on days 7, 10, and 14 PI in Expt. 2 and evaluated for specific maltase activity (SMA). Astrovirus infection was verified on day 7 PI by immune electron microscopy of intestinal contents. Inoculated poults developed diarrhea and a transient, significant decrease in intestinal SMA. SMA was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in astrovirus-inoculated poults than in control poults throughout the entire small intestine from day 3 through day 7 PI. However, SMA had returned to normal in inoculated poults by day 10 PI and was significantly higher than control values (P < 0.05) in all sections of the small intestine, except in the proximal jejunum, by day 14 PI. Decreased SMA caused by astrovirus infection resulted in disaccharide maldigestion, malabsorption, and subsequent osmotic diarrhea. As astrovirus was cleared from the intestinal tract, SMA was restored and diarrhea was resolved.
Pollination ecology of <i>Melaleuca cajuputi</i>, <i>Nypa fruticans</i> and their flower visitors (2008)

SummaryThe submerged Melaleuca forests have an important role in the regulation of climate and the protection of wildlife and the environment in southern Vietnam. This paper studies the pollination ecology of the Asian giant honey bee (Apis dorsata), the Asian dwarf honey bee (Apis florea) and other pollinators on the two prominent plants (Melaleuca cajuputi and Nypa fruticans) in the forests. The results show that the nectar of Melaleuca flowers was secreted in the largest volume with the lowest sugar content in the early morning. Then, due to evaporation, the volume dropped to the lowest with the highest sugar content in the early afternoon. The sugar value present in Melaleuca flowers was the highest (466 Mg of sugar per flower) at 10.00 h in the morning. Nypa flowers opened early in the morning, their pollen release increased gradually, reached a peak at 09.00 h and finished at sunset. The study of pollinators on the Melaleuca and Nypa flowers showed the three following forms of partitioning in the Melaleuca forests: 1. Different plants have different visitors; 2. Different visitors visit the same plant at different times; and 3. For a visitor species, time is partitioned to visit different plants.
Operations simulation as a cloud based service (2013)

On-demand digital print service is a form of personalized manufacturing service. Key to the commercial print value-creation chain is the responsive and accurate knowledge discovery and decision making throughout service engagement and fulfillment between content suppliers and print service providers. In this paper, we describe operations simulation of an end-to-end digital print process as means to provide quantitative guide to production planning and execution. We identify the needs and challenges of today's model driven management practice, and rationale of creating a cloud-based operations simulation service. This cloud service aims to deliver accurate, expansive, in-depth and quantitative knowledge in near real-time; this type of knowledge can be applied to guide strategic planning to manufacturing and production management.

Authentication Scheme for Session Passwords Using Color and Image (2017)

Abstract Graphical passwords are believed to be more secure than traditional textual passwords, but the authentications are usually complex and boring for users. Furthermore, most of the existing graphical password schemes are vulnerable to spyware and shoulder surfing. A novel graphical password scheme ColorLogin is proposed in this paper. ColorLogin is implemented in an interesting game way to weaken the boring feelings of the authentication. ColorLogin uses background color, a method not previously considered, to decrease login time greatly. Multiple colors are used to confuse the peepers, while not burdening the legitimate users. Meanwhile, the scheme is resistant to shoulder surfing and intersection attack to a certain extent. Experiments illustrate the effectiveness of ColorLogin.
MRI biomarkers in Huntington's disease (2011)

Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting the brain resulting in neuronal dysfunction and neuronal loss. Since the identification of the gene responsible for HD, genetic testing has become widely available, allowing for genetic status of persons at risk for HD to be determined. For the effective evaluation of future therapeutic trials a great need exists for sensitive biomarkers. In (premanifest) HD, MRI of the brain is one of the most logical candidates as a biomarker, as opposed to clinical measures, since brain neurons are the main target of the disease. These biomarkers can facilitate early detection of disease related changes, but are also needed to monitor disease progression from the premanifest phase of HD onwards. MRI derived parameters have this biomarker potential as they have been shown to identify brain abnormalities before symptom onset. In this review the available MRI techniques of conventional MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Magnetization Transfer Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Functional MRI will be discussed and the findings will be placed into context of different HD stages.
Independent information from cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β and florbetapir imaging in Alzheimer's disease (2014)

Reduced cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β42 and increased retention of florbetapir positron emission tomography are biomarkers reflecting cortical amyloid load in Alzheimer's disease. However, these measurements do not always agree and may represent partly different aspects of the underlying Alzheimer's disease pathology. The goal of this study was therefore to test if cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography amyloid-β biomarkers are independently related to other Alzheimer's disease markers, and to examine individuals who are discordantly classified by these two biomarker modalities. Cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography amyloid-β were measured at baseline in 769 persons [161 healthy controls, 68 subjective memory complaints, 419 mild cognitive impairment and 121 Alzheimer's disease dementia, mean age 72 years (standard deviation 7 years), 47% females] and used to predict diagnosis, APOE ε4 carriage status, cerebral blood flow, cerebrospinal fluid total-tau and phosphorylated-tau levels (cross-sectionally); and hippocampal volume, fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography results and Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale scores (longitudinally). Cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography amyloid-β were highly correlated, but adjusting one of these predictors for the other revealed that they both provided partially independent information when predicting diagnosis, APOE ε4, hippocampal volume, metabolism, cognition, total-tau and phosphorylated-tau (the 95% confidence intervals of the adjusted effects did not include zero). Cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β was more strongly related to APOE ε4 whereas positron emission tomography amyloid-β was more strongly related to tau levels (P < 0.05). Discordance (mainly isolated cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β positivity) differed by diagnostic group (P < 0.001) and was seen in 21% of cognitively healthy people but only 6% in dementia patients. The finding that cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography amyloid-β provide partially independent information about a wide range of Alzheimer's measures supports the theory that these modalities represent partly different aspects of Alzheimer's pathology. The fact that mismatch, with positive cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β but normal positron emission tomography amyloid-β, is relatively common in cognitively healthy people may be considered when using these biomarkers to identify early stage Alzheimer's disease. Reduced cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β may be more strongly related to early stage Alzheimer's disease, whereas increased positron emission tomography amyloid-β may be more strongly related to disease progression.
