5. Acoustic Properties of Carbonate Rocks: Use in Quantitative Interpretation of Sonic and Seismic Measurements (1997)

Four main groups of parameters influence the seismic response in carbonate rocks: (1) petrophysical properties, such as porosity, pore compressibility, fluid saturation, and fluid type; (2) lithologic parameters, such as mineralogy and shaliness; (3) measured conditions, such as effective stress, temperature, and frequency; and (4) geometric factors such as bed thickness and anisotropy. Knowledge of porosity variations over any carbonate reservoir has significant engineering and economic implications for production development activities. Because porosity is the most important factor determining the seismic response in carbonate rocks, quantification of its variation over a reservoir becomes a critically important task. Thus, before any velocity change is used for quantifying reservoir porosity, relative influence of other factors must be identified and accounted for.
Initial Comparison of Monotonic Logical Grid and Alternative Data Base Structures. (1986)

We compare the Monotonic Logical Grid (MLG) data base structure to alternative data base structures for tasks relevant to computing the dynamics of N moving objects. The tasks include identifying near neighbors of designated nodes, retrieving information on the near neighbors, and ordering this information according to distances of the associated near neighbors from the designated nodes. We use a collection of N = 64K (65,536) noninteracting objects with randomly initialized velocities. We have performed the calculations on the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Cray X-MP computer, which has a hardware gather-scatter capability. We consider two types of alternative data structures for which the indexing is static (the data corresponding to each node always have the same index and memory locations). These two types encompass most of the data structures currently in use in manybody simulations. Data structure Type 1 carries no additional information or pointers which could identify the near neighbors of each node. Data structure Type 2 does carry coarse information on near neighbors by maintaining linked lists or a related system of pointers that change with the motion of nodes in time. Our numerical test show that the MLG data structures are vastly superior to the Type 1 data structure when we require near-neighbor information on a large number M of designated or focal nodes.
The Cloud is Not Enough: Saving IoT from the Cloud. (2015)

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a new class of applications that can benefit from cloud infrastructure.However, the current approach of directly connecting smart devices to the cloud has a number of disadvantages and is unlikely to keep up with either the growing speed of the IoT or the diverse needs of IoT applications.In this paper we explore these disadvantages and argue that fundamental properties of the IoT prevent the current approach from scaling.What is missing is a wellarchitected system that extends the functionality of the cloud and provides seamless interplay among the heterogeneous components in the IoT space.We argue that raising the level of abstraction to a data-centric designfocused around the distribution, preservation and protection of information-provides a much better match to the IoT.We present early work on such a distributed platform, called the Global Data Plane (GDP), and discuss how it addresses the problems with the cloud-centric architecture.
Scatterfield microscopy using back focal plane imaging with an engineered illumination field (2006)

We have implemented back focal plane (conoscopic) imaging in an optical microscope that has also been modified to allow selection of the illumination angles and polarization at the sample, and collected back focal plane images of silicon on silicon grating scatterometry targets with varying line widths. Using a slit illumination mask, the zero-order diffraction versus angle for −60° to +60° incident angles at a given polarization was obtained from a single image. By using reference images taken on a flat silicon background, we correct the raw target images for illumination source inhomogeneities and polarization-dependent transmission of the optics, and convert them to reflectance versus angle data for s- and p-polarizations, similar to that obtained from angle-resolved grating scatterometry. As with conventional scatterometry, the target lines need not be resolved for the reflectance signature to show sensitivity to small changes in the grating parameters. For a series of 300 nm pitch targets with line widths from 150 nm to 157 nm, we demonstrate nanometer-level sensitivity to line width with good repeatability, using 546 nm illumination. Additionally, we demonstrate a technique for separating the zero order from higher order diffraction on targets with multiple diffraction orders, allowing collection of both zero and higher order diffraction versus angle from the back focal plane image. As conventional images can be easily collected on the same microscope, the method provides a powerful tool for combining imaging metrology with scatterometry for optical critical dimension measurements in semiconductors.
Automotive Evaporator and Condenser Modeling (1993)

<div class="htmlview paragraph"><i>The present study is aimed to characterize the compact heat exchangers used in automotive air-conditioning systems. Mathematical models of an automotive air-conditioning evaporator and condenser have been developed for the prediction of their performance under operating conditions. The models consider the heat transfer correlations for the fluids inside the evaporator and condensers. Automotive refrigerant heat exchangers are manufactured with different designs, usually containing various flow passages with several fin geometries. In the present work the evaporator is a finned-tube heat exchanger, and there are two types of condensers: finned-tube, called type A and a finned-plate called type B. The models have been validated over a variety of operating conditions, showing good agreement with available experimental data.</i></div>
Method for the preparation of tritium labeled proteins (1971)

A method is presented for the preparation of tritium-labeled protein. In this method, an excess of this protein is reacted with another protein having a specific binding action with the first protein, this action leading to the formation of a soluble complex. This complex is halogenated and the resulting halogenated complex is tritiated in such a way as to obtain a mixture formed from the tritiated complex and the halogen complex. The tritiated complex is then dissociated and successive and selective extractions are effected of the tritium- labeled protein and of the tritiumlabeled binder. (FR)
Expression profiling of cervical cancers in <scp>I</scp>ndian women at different stages to identify gene signatures during progression of the disease (2013)

Abstract Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide, with developing countries accounting for >80% of the disease burden. Although in the West, active screening has been instrumental in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer, disease management is hampered due to lack of biomarkers for disease progression and defined therapeutic targets. Here we carried out gene expression profiling of 29 cervical cancer tissues from I ndian women, spanning International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics ( FIGO ) stages of the disease from early lesion (IA and IIA) to progressive stages (IIB and IIIA–B), and identified distinct gene expression signatures. Overall, metabolic pathways, pathways in cancer and signaling pathways were found to be significantly upregulated, while focal adhesion, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction and WNT signaling were downregulated. Additionally, we identified candidate biomarkers of disease progression such as SPP 1, proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA ), STK 17A, and DUSP 1 among others that were validated by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction ( qRT ‐ PCR ) in the samples used for microarray studies as well in an independent set of 34 additional samples. Integrative analysis of our results with other cervical cancer profiling studies could facilitate the development of multiplex diagnostic markers of cervical cancer progression.
BEHAVIOR AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE TWO FALL ARMYWORM HOST STRAINS IN FLORIDA (2004)

Fall armyworm is a significant agricultural pest in the United States, affecting most notably sweet corn and turf grass. While infesting much of North America, fall armyworms invading the eastern United States arise from annual migrations of populations wintering in southern Florida. It has long been noted that this seasonal geographical localization represents an opportunity for controlling this pest prior to its annual migration. However, such efforts have been hindered by the presence of two genetically distinct but morphologically identical strains that differ physiologically and behaviorally. The biology of the host strains is poorly understood and this lack of knowledge precludes accurate predictions of fall armyworm population behavior in the field. This paper reviews recent studies examining strain behavior and discusses the potential relevance of these results to the development of effective regional management strategies that can be used proactively to mitigate the economic impact of this pest.

Development of GM-CSF antagonist peptides. (1995)

Granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is both a hematopoietic growth factor and a cytokine implicated in inflammatory disease. The development of GM-CSF antagonist peptides corresponding to the GM-CSF native sequence should allow their modification into higher affinity analogs, but this is hampered by the low affinity of linear peptides. To adequately evaluate such low affinity peptides, the use of several independent assays should allow specific versus nonspecific inhibitors to be distinguished. In this study, inhibition of GM-CSF-dependent cell growth, inhibition of GM-CSF binding and immunologic cross-reactivity between GM-CSF-derived peptides and native protein by neutralizing antibodies have been used to evaluate peptide analogs with potential bioactivity. The GM-CSF sequence was divided into 6 peptides ranging in size from 15-24 amino acids. Antisera were raised to these peptides in mice and assayed for immunologic cross-reactivity. 4/6 anti-peptide antisera bound GM-CSF on ELISA and 3/6 on immunoprecipitation. Antisera to two of the peptides (corresponding to residues 17-31 and 96-112) inhibited GM-CSF-dependent cellular proliferation in two cell lines, with one peptide derived from residues 17-31 demonstrating inhibition of GM-CSF binding and direct biological inhibitory activity. A peptide that did not elicit native GM-CSF reactive antibodies, corresponding to residues 54-78, was recognized by two neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. It exhibited inhibition of GM-CSF binding and direct biological antagonist activity. These studies implicate two sites in mediating GM-CSF biological activity, and indicate that biological antagonists can be developed based on these sites.
Antibacterial activity of multilayer silver–copper surface films on catheter material (1993)

The antimicrobial activity of Ag, Cu, and layered Ag-Cu surface films, sputter-coated onto several types of catheter material, against clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated. When 20 microL of a suspension of S. epidermidis or S. aureus (2.68 x 10(6) colony-forming units/mL) was applied onto Ag-Cu- or Cu-coated butyl rubber, bacterial numbers were greatly reduced within 10 h, and eliminated within 24 h. In contrast, antibacterial activity was significantly less on uncoated or Ag-coated surfaces. Ag-Cu- or Cu-coated silicon rubber, polyvinylchloride, and teflon were even more effective than Ag-Cu- or Cu-coated butyl rubber. Ag-Cu layered surface films also showed antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation. Multiple metal surface film combinations show great promise in lowering the incidence of device-associated nosocomial infections.

Differential Activation and Desensitization of Sensory Neurons by Resiniferatoxin (1997)

Recently, with use of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons we have been able to dissociate the binding affinities of vanilloids from their potencies to induce 45Ca uptake, which suggests the existence of distinct classes of the vanilloid receptor (). In the present study, we have demonstrated that the ultrapotent capsaicin analog resiniferatoxin (RTX) desensitized rat DRG neurons to the subsequent induction of 45Ca uptake by capsaicin and RTX with affinity and cooperativity similar to that found for [3H]RTX binding, contrasting with a approximately 10-fold weaker potency and lack of cooperativity to induce 45Ca uptake. Likewise, the competitive antagonist capsazepine inhibited RTX-induced desensitization with potency similar to that for inhibition of specific [3H]RTX binding, whereas the potency of capsazepine was approximately 10-fold higher for inhibiting RTX-induced 45Ca uptake. Finally, the noncompetitive antagonist ruthenium red inhibited both the RTX-induced desensitization and 45Ca uptake but showed approximately 60-fold selectivity for inhibiting RTX-induced desensitization. The RTX-induced desensitization was not associated with loss of specific [3H]RTX binding, suggesting lack of gross cell toxicity. In contrast to RTX, capsaicin caused desensitization with a potency corresponding to that for 45Ca uptake and did so in a noncooperative manner. Unlike the RTX-induced desensitization, the desensitization by capsaicin was blocked by ruthenium red only at doses that blocked 45Ca uptake and depended on external calcium. Our findings provide further support for the existence of vanilloid receptor subtypes on DRG neurons with distinct pharmacology and distinct patterns of desensitization.
Vision-based localization algorithm based on landmark matching, triangulation, reconstruction, and comparison (2005)

Many generic position-estimation algorithms are vulnerable to ambiguity introduced by nonunique landmarks. Also, the available high-dimensional image data is not fully used when these techniques are extended to vision-based localization. This paper presents the landmark matching, triangulation, reconstruction, and comparison (LTRQ global localization algorithm, which is reasonably immune to ambiguous landmark matches. It extracts natural landmarks for the (rough) matching stage before generating the list of possible position estimates through triangulation. Reconstruction and comparison then rank the possible estimates. The LTRC algorithm has been implemented using an interpreted language, onto a robot equipped with a panoramic vision system. Empirical data shows remarkable improvement in accuracy when compared with the established random sample consensus method. LTRC is also robust against inaccurate map data.

2-(2′-Hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole-Containing Two-Photon-Absorbing Chromophores as Sensors for Zinc and Hydroxide Ions (2008)

Three new two-photon-absorbing (2PA) chromophores derived from 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (HPBO), having two-photon absorption cross sections up to 530 GM (δ, expressed in GM; 1 GM = 1 × 10−50 cm4 s photon−1 molecule−1), were synthesized and investigated as metal ion and pH sensors. These chromophores were designed with an increasing number (0, 1, and 2) of HPBO(s) groups as binding sites for metal ions. Such variations provide a systematic approach to correlate structures with their linear photophysical, sensing, and two-photon absorption properties. The HPBO-containing sensors show unique response for zinc ion. Significant zinc ion stimulated photophysical properties with evident enhancements in fluorescence intensities from both one- and two-photon processes were detected. Moreover, one chromophore having HPBO groups in both terminal ends exhibits significant modulation of fluorescence intensities in response to the phenol group deprotonation in the HPBO moiety. A very large two-photon absorption cross section of 4120 GM, the highest reported for bisphenolate-containing 2PA materials, was measured for the chromophore under basic conditions. The molecular structures have a significant influence on the 2PA properties, which follows a trend of the substitution groups on the HPBO moiety in the order of −O− > −OZn > −OCH2R. The present study provides a protocol for elucidating the relationship between the photophysical properties and molecular structures.
An env gene derived from a primary human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolate confers high in vivo replicative capacity to a chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency virus in rhesus monkeys (1996)

To explore the roles played by specific human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) genes in determining the in vivo replicative capacity of AIDS viruses, we have examined the replication kinetics and virus-specific immune responses in rhesus monkeys following infection with two chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs). These viruses were composed of simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239 expressing HIV-1 env and the associated auxiliary HIV-1 genes tat, vpu, and rep. Virus replication was assessed during primary infection of rhesus monkeys by measuring plasma SIVmac p27 levels and by quantifying virus replication in lymph nodes using in situ hybridization. SHIV-HXBc2, which expresses the HIV-1 env of a T-cell-tropic, laboratory-adapted strain of HIV-1 (HXBc2), replicated well in rhesus monkey peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) in vitro but replicated only to low levels when inoculated in rhesus monkeys. In contrast, SHIV-89.6 was constructed with the HIV-1 env gene of a T-cell- and macrophage-tropic clone of a patient isolate of HIV-1 (89.6). This virus replicated to a lower level in monkey PBL in vitro but replicated to a higher degree in monkeys during primary infection. Moreover, monkeys infected with SHIV-89.6 developed an inversion in the PBL CD4/CD8 ratio coincident with the clearance of primary viremia. The differences in the in vivo consequences of infection by these two SHIVs could not be explained by differences in the immune responses elicited by these viruses, since infected animals had comparable type-specific neutralizing antibody titers, proliferative responses to recombinant HIV-1 gp120, and virus-specific cytolytic effector T-cell responses. With the demonstration that a chimeric SHIV can replicate to high levels during primary infection in rhesus monkeys, this model can now be used to define genetic determinants of HIV-1 pathogenicity.
