Myocardial tumor necrosis factor-α secretion in hypertensive and heart failure-prone rats (1999)

Acute increases in blood pressure (BP) increase myocardial tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha production, but it is not known whether chronic hypertensive stress elevates myocardial TNF-alpha production, possibly contributing to cardiac remodeling, decreased cardiac function, and faster progression to heart failure. BP, cardiac function, and size were evaluated in normotensive [Sprague-Dawley (SD)], spontaneously hypertensive (SHR), and spontaneously hypertensive heart failure-prone (SHHF) rats at 6, 12, 15, and 18 mo of age and in failing SHHF. Left ventricular tissues were evaluated for secretion of bioactive TNF-alpha and inhibition of TNF-alpha secretion by phosphodiesterase inhibitors. All ventricles secreted bioactive and immunoreactive TNF-alpha, but secretion decreased with age. SHR and SHHF rats secreted more TNF-alpha than SD rats at 6 mo of age, but only failing SHHF rats secreted significantly more TNF-alpha at 18 mo. Amrinone inhibited TNF-alpha secretion in all rats and was less potent but more efficacious than RO-201724 in all strains. TNF-alpha secretion correlated with BP and left ventricular mass in 6-mo-old rats, but this relationship disappeared with age. Results suggest that hypertension and/or cardiac remodeling is associated with elevated myocardial TNF-alpha, and, although hypertension, per se, did not maintain elevated cardiac TNF-alpha levels, SHHF rats increase TNF-alpha production during the end stages of failure.
Metamaterials Application in Sensing (2012)

Metamaterials are artificial media structured on a size scale smaller than wavelength of external stimuli, and they can exhibit a strong localization and enhancement of fields, which may provide novel tools to significantly enhance the sensitivity and resolution of sensors, and open new degrees of freedom in sensing design aspect. This paper mainly presents the recent progress concerning metamaterials-based sensing, and detailedly reviews the principle, detecting process and sensitivity of three distinct types of sensors based on metamaterials, as well as their challenges and prospects. Moreover, the design guidelines for each sensor and its performance are compared and summarized.

Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Highly Porous Carbon Foams for High-Performance Supercapacitors Using Template-Free Direct Pyrolysis (2015)

Foam-like porous carbons with specific surface area (SSA) up to 2340 m(2)/g were synthesized using direct pyrolysis of sugar and zinc nitrate mixtures without any hard templates. The role of the ZnO nanoparticles formed from the decomposition of zinc nitrate, and the effects of high-temperature annealing on the formation of the high-SSA carbon foams were systematically studied. Due to the facile and quick reaction conditions, these carbon foams could be easily synthesized on a large scale. When used as supercapacitor electrode materials, a specific capacitance up to 280 F/g was achieved at current density of 0.1 A/g and remained as high as 207 F/g, even at a high current density of 10 A/g.
Strategies to identify sequences or antigens unique to multiple sclerosis (1996)

Chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are characterized by increased IgG and oligoclonal bands (OGBs) in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The OGBs in CNS infectious diseases of known cause have been shown to be directed against the pathogenic agent. In multiple sclerosis (MS), the antigenic specificity of the OGBs is unknown, but could be directed against an infectious agent, an autoantigen, or both. In a molecular approach to identify antigens specific for MS, we constructed directional cDNA expression libraries with mRNA extracted from chronic and acute MS plaques and periplaque white matter. The libraries were: (1) screened to identify clones whose expression products react with MS CSF, but not with CSF from other infectious and inflammatory diseases of the CNS; (2) subtracted by hybridization to mRNA from normal human brain white matter and differentially screened to detect unique MS transcripts; and (3) used as template in polymerase chain reactions to amplify, clone, and sequence IgG heavy and light chain variable regions (VH and VL, respectively) expressed in MS plaques. Analysis of the VH and VL IgG repertoire in MS brain may identify disease-relevant IgG sequences that can be assembled into functional antibodies using recombinant phage technology. Such recombinant antibodies will be useful to probe brain tissue to identify antigens unique to MS.
Heterogeneous distribution of acidic TA-4 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma: immunohistochemical demonstration with monoclonal antibodies. (1987)

Tumor antigen TA-4 is divided into two subgroups; acidic and neutral TA-4. The tissue localizations of these TA-4 subgroups were examined by using monoclonal antibodies, i.e., Mab-21 which reacts with both acidic and neutral TA-4, and Mab-317 which is specific to acidic TA-4. Immunohistochemical staining with Mab-21 showed positive cells in most parts of the cancer nest and in the intermediate layer of the non-cancerous squamous epithelium of the uterine cervix, whereas positive staining with Mab-317 was observed only in the cells at the peripheral parts of the cancer nest adjacent to the surrounding stromal tissue. Thus, examination of the subgroups of TA-4 may be a useful aid for investigating the biologic behavior of squamous cells.
Laser-Addressed Liquid Crystal Displays (1984)

This review paper describes the development of laser-addressed liquid crystal display (LLCD) technology. It covers a period dating back to 1970 and includes the work of all research groups who have published their results in this field. The technology employs a scanned laser beam to thermally write on a high-resolution liquid crystal light valve. The LC cell has storage but can be erased rapidly with an electric field, and an image may be modified using selective erase and rewrite. The cell is projected onto a screen to give a bright, high-contrast and high-information-content image. Being a projection display, a wide range of screen sizes is possible, and color can be provided by overlaying multiple images.
Tetraband Small-Size Printed Strip MIMO Antenna for Mobile Handset Application (2012)

A compact printed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for tetraband (GSM900/1800/1900/UMTS) mobile handset application is presented. The proposed MIMO antenna, which consists of two coupled-fed loop antennas with symmetrical configuration, was printed on a 120 * 60 * 0.8 mm 3 Fr-4 substrate of relative permittivity of 4.4, loss tangent 0.02. Each element antenna requires only a small area of 22.5 * 25 mm 2 on the circuit board. The edge-to-edge spacing between the two elements is only<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mn fontstyle="italic">0.03</mml:mn></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:msub><mml:mrow><mml:mi>λ</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn fontstyle="italic">0</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:mrow></mml:msub></mml:math>of 920 MHz. A slot and a dual-inverted-L-shaped ground branch were added in the ground plane to decrease the mature coupling between the antenna elements. The measured isolation of the proposed antenna is better than 15 dB among the four operating frequency bands. The simulated 3D radiation patterns at 900 MHz and 1900 MHz of both antenna elements show that two loop antennas in general cover complementary space regions with good diversity performance. Detailed antenna impedance matching performance comparisons were done to evaluate the benefit of using different decoupling technology. The envelop correlation coefficient is calculated to represent the diversity performance of the MIMO antenna.

Time matching between P-SV wave and P-P wave (2010)

In this paper the time matching between P-SV wave and P-P wave in pre-stack joint inversion was studied,it is believed that the matching effect is not great if the VP/VS ratio which is picked up from pre-stack time migration is used as VP/VS ratio in time matching between P-SV wave and P-P wave.By utilizing the datasets in mathematical model forward simulation in this paper,the VP/VS ratio scanning method could be used to correct the deviation in the matching between P-SV wave and P-P wave,based on the major makers in structural imaging the general time and velocity ranges in the scanning process can be determined,by selecting calculation window to conduct VP/VS ratio scanning the optimal VP/VS ratio factor was obtained,then the matching is completed.The workflow of the time matching between P-SV wave and P-P wave can be summarized as below:①To conduct P-P wave and P-SV wave velocity analysis and obtain VP/VS ratio;②Based on VP/VS ratio model the pre-stack the time gathers matching was conducted;③Evaluating the matching results,if satisfied then matching finishes,if not,continue the VP/VS ratio scanning,update the VP/VS ratio model and then go to step ② and ④.Finishing the matching,outputting the matching gathers or stacking sections.The matching effects between the mathematical model data and field land seismic data demonstrated that the method described in this paper solved the time matching problem for a reflection event from same subsurface interface in the P-P wave and P-SV wave inversion process,providing the accurate gather data for the subsequent joint inversion.
Antibacterial Surfaces and Coatings Produced by Plasma Techniques (2011)

Abstract Bacterial colonisation of synthetic materials surfaces is an important problem in many fields and consequently there have been considerable efforts over many decades to find solutions. This review discusses plasma‐based strategies for combating infections at biomedical implants and devices, caused by the attachment of bacteria and their subsequent biofilm formation on device surfaces. Plasma polymerisation and plasma treatment have become attractive modalities for developing antibacterial coatings and various strategies have been reported. Plasma polymers have been used as reservoirs loaded with antibacterial agents that are subsequently released. Plasma polymer layers can also serve as a diffusion barrier to control the release rate. Plasma‐modified surfaces are also utilised as functional coatings for attachment of biocidal or bacteriostatic molecules. A popular strategy continues to be the use of silver ions or silver nanoparticles in polymer matrices. Another popular approach comprises the use of quaternary amine compounds on surfaces. In both cases, antibacterial activity is indeed obtained, but damage to human cells and tissue remains a concern. Alternative approaches utilising the covalent immobilisation of antibiotic molecules are discussed. We also assess existing strategies and their potential usefulness. magnified image
Efficient, Fully Local Algorithms for CIOQ Switches (2007)

A number of algorithms have been proposed in the literature for scheduling CIOQ switches. The algorithms which have been proven to provide strict performance guarantees on delay (via the emulation of an output-queued switch) have been too complicated to implement because they require the exchange of a large amount of information between inputs and outputs. With implementation as our primary focus, we consider scheduling algorithms that are "fully local." This means inputs and outputs must be able to make decisions regarding matchings using only local information (except requests, grants and accepts). This constraint, which is essentially necessary for high-speed implementations, appears too restrictive for designing algorithms which enable the emulation of an output-queued switch. Rather surprisingly, we find a very simple and fully local algorithm FLGS (for fully local Gale-Shapley) which, at a speedup of 2, emulates an output-queued switch implementing a number of different output link scheduling algorithms such as weighted round robin and strict priority. We explore the performance of the algorithm at speedups between 1 and 2 using simulations and find that it partitions the bandwidth nearly as well as an output-queued switch at speedups 1.2 or higher.
DETERMINATION OF CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT AT THE OUTER SURFACE OF A CRYOVIAL BEING PLUNGED INTO LIQUID NITROGEN. (2016)

Anodic oxidation of sulfonamides. II. Anodic oxidation of 4'-substituted benzenesulfonanilides in acetonitrile. (1977)

Anodic oxidation of benzenesulfon-p-anisidide (I), benzenesulfon-p-toluidide (II), and N-methylbenzenesulfon-p-anisidide (III) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis at a glassy-carbon anode in acetonitrile. I showed a single anodic wave in the absence of pyridine, and three anodic waves in the presence of pyridine. On electrolysis of I in the absence of pyridine, p-benzoquinone and benzenesulfonamide were formed. On electrolysis of I in the presence of pyridine, N, N'-dibenzenesulfonyl-N-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-5-methoxy-o-phenylenediamine (IV) and 1-(2-benzenesulfonamido-5-methoxyphenyl) pyridinium perchlorate (V) were obtained. Anodic oxidation of II in acetonitrile containing excess of pyridine gave N, N'-dibenzenesulfonyl-N-(p-tolyl)-5-methyl-o-phenylenediamine (VI) and N, N'-dibenzenesulfonyl-5, 5'-dimethyl-2, 2'-biphenyldiamine (VII). The formation of VI and VII was interpreted in terms of one-electron transfer followed by dimerizations of the free radical of II. On electrolysis of III in the presence of pyridine, 1-(N-methyl-3-benzenesulfonamido-6-methoxyphenyl) pyridinium perchlorate (VIII) was formed as the main product. The position of pyridination, which was ortho to the methoxy-group, was explained on the basis of steric factors.
Molecular weight estimation of immunoglobulin subunits of polyacrylamide gel. (1971)

Molecular weights of immunoglobulin polypeptide chains can be accurately determined by dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Non-alkylated immunoglobulin preparations can be used. Depending on the mobility of the polypeptide chain, a relatively narrow range of standard size should be used to calibrate the molecular weight plots; this is concluded from an evaluation of the molecular weight-mobility relationship of dodecyl sulphate-complexes of proteins in 10 per cent polyacrylamide gel.
Visual-aural representations of performance for a scalable application program (2003)

Visual and aural portrayals of parallel program execution are used to gain insight into how a program is working. The combination of portrayals in a coordinated performance environment provides the user with multiple perspectives and stimuli to comprehend complex, multidimensional run-time information. An open question for either medium is how well does it scale? That is, how effectively can it be used to represent program performance on a large parallel computer system? This paper investigates using sound in conjunction with graphics to represent the performance of a scalable application program, the SLALOM benchmark program, executed on the nCUBE 2 distributed memory parallel computer. Custom auralization software is coupled with the PICL and ParaGraph tools. The techniques and results of visually and aurally monitoring program execution on increasing numbers of processors are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Effect of temperature and moisture on the luminescence properties of silicone filled with YAG phosphor (2011)

In order to determine the environmental effects on the luminescence properties of a phosphor layer for high-power light emitting diodes, a high humidity and temperature test (85 °C/85%RH) and a thermal aging test (85 °C) were performed on silicone/YAG phosphor composites. The luminescence properties of silicone/phosphor composites are monitored by a fluorescence spectrometer. The results show that high temperature could result in an increase in conversion efficiency of composites during the early aging stage and red shift of YAG phosphor; and high humidity could result in a significant decrease in conversion efficiency of composites while having a small influence upon the optimal excitation wavelength of the YAG phosphor.
Origin of Polysaccharide Depolymerase Associated with Bacteriophage Infection (1969)

Analyses, by construction of phage growth curves, indicated that the polysaccharide depolymerase was synthesized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains B and BI after infection with phage 2. The kinetics of biosynthesis of the depolymerase were found to parallel closely the rate of formation of phage-directed virions, and alterations in the experimental conditions of infection were reflected by alterations in the production of enzyme. Infection with other Pseudomonas phages, 84 and 1197, did not result in the synthesis of depolymerase. The enzyme was not detectable in uninfected cultures, and no evidence was obtained for the existence of inhibitors or activators of enzyme activity in extracts of uninfected or infected cells. The results of experiments employing chloramphenicol or an auxotorphic mutant (BI arg(-)) suggested that protein synthesis de novo was essential for production of the enzyme. Various mutants of phage 2 (pdp(1), pdp(2)), which alter the synthesis of the polysaccharide depolymerase, have been isolated. These experimental results strongly support the role of the phage genome in the synthesis of this enzyme.
3D imaging of blood vessels using X-ray rotational angiographic system (2005)

The authors describe a 3D image reconstruction method using X-ray rotational angiographic system to realize 3D imaging of blood vessels. Several reconstruction methods utilize biplane or stereo angiographic system and assume the cross section shape of blood vessels (e.g. ellipse). However, the information provided by a few projections is insufficient for reconstructing a precise 3D image of blood vessels. Furthermore, the assumption of cross sectional shapes is usually not valid for abnormal blood vessels. In the authors' method, using an X-ray rotational angiographic system, digital angiograms are collected in a short period of time and a 3D image of blood vessels is reconstructed using a short scan cone-beam filtered backprojection algorithm. Moreover, the authors' method provides 3D visualization and 3D quantitative analyses of blood vessels. From results of the application to a patient's cerebral blood vessels, the authors present the effectiveness of their method.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A 106dB PSRR direct battery connected reconfigurable class-AB/D speaker amplifier for hands-free/receiver 2-in-1 loudspeaker (2011)

A reconfigurable class-AB/D audio power amplifier for use with hands-free/receiver 2-in-1 loudspeaker is designed under direct battery connection for portable device application. With an on-chip battery voltage tracking common-mode reference generator (BAVTCMR) and pseudo-differential topology, 106 dB power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) can be achieved. This high PSRR attenuates the leak of power supply noise to the amplifier output and 100dB SNR can be achieved under maximum power GSM radio link. Reconfiguration is realized by integrator gain stage sharing and capacitor reuse technique to minimize hardware redundancy and simplify the design complexity. In a 0.153-μm CMOS technology, 76/74 dB THD can be achieved for class-AB and class-D, respectively. The active area of class-AB/D amplifier is 0.5mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .
The effect of intensification with raltegravir on the HIV-1 reservoir of latently infected memory CD4 T cells in suppressed patients (2012)

In this pilot noncomparative trial, treatment intensification with raltegravir significantly decreased the latent cellular HIV-1 reservoir and CD8 T-cell activation. Despite the limitations inherent to trial design, our results suggest that ART intensification should be considered as an adjuvant strategy to eradicate HIV-1 infection.
Ultrahigh-Q/V single point-defect photonic crystal nanocavity with embedded sub-wavelength air-slot (2017)

H1 photonic crystal nanocavities with a short sub-wavelength air-slot that can concentrate an electric field to one antinode with V<0.025(λ/n)3 experimentally exhibited a Q factor over 2×105 and a Q/V reaching 107.
Speeding up learning in real-time search via automatic state abstraction (2005)

Deitiforin in HEp-2 cell culture was shown to inhibit replication of the reference PIV-3 strain when administered 1 hour before virus inoculation. The most marked effect of the drug was observed in the first 4 days of observation. In experimental newborn mice infected with parainfluenza virus 3 deitiforin protected the animals from developing the infection. In humans given deitiforin reaction to vaccination was found to develop 5-6 times more rarely than in the control group, PIV-3 could be isolated twice as rarely, and a diagnostically significant rise of specific antibody levels was observed less frequently.
Vav1: a key signal transducer downstream of the TCR (2003)

Vav1 is a 95-kDa protein expressed in all hemopoietic cells that becomes rapidly tyrosine phosphorylated following T cell antigen receptor (TCR) stimulation. Vav1 contains multiple domains characteristic of signal transducing proteins, including a Dbl homology domain, a hallmark of a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for Rho-family GTPases. Indeed Vav1 is a GEF for Rac1, Rac2 and RhoG, and it is activated following tyrosine phosphorylation. Generation of mice deficient in Vav1 has shown that it plays an important role in selection events within the thymus, including both positive and negative selection, consistent with Vav1 transducing TCR signals required to drive these processes. Furthermore, Vav1-deficient T cells are defective in TCR-induced proliferation and cytokine synthesis. Analysis of TCR signaling pathways in Vav1-deficient T cells and thymocytes has shown that Vav1 is required to transduce signals to the activation of a calcium flux, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) transcription factor. Vav1 has also been shown to control the activation of phospholipase Cgamma1 (PLCgamma1) via both phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent and -independent pathways. Finally, Vav1 has been shown to transduce TCR signals to some but not all cytoskeleton-dependent pathways. In particular, Vav1 is required for efficient TCR-induced conjugate formation with antigen presenting cells (APCs), activation of the integrin leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and cell polarization.
