HTML templates that fly (2009)

Web applications often use HTML templates to separate the webpage presentation from its underlying business logic and objects. This is now the de facto standard programming model for Web application development. This paper proposes a novel implementation for existing server-side template engines, FlyingTemplate, for (a) reduced bandwidth consumption in Web application servers, and (b) off-loading HTML generation tasks to Web clients. Instead of producing a fully-generated HTML page, the proposed template engine produces a skeletal script which includes only the dynamic values of the template parameters and the bootstrap code that runs on a Web browser at the client side. It retrieves a client-side template engine and the payload templates separately. With the goals of efficiency, implementation transparency, security, and standards compliance in mind, we developed FlyingTemplate with two design principles: effective browser cache usage, and reasonable compromises which restrict the template usage patterns and relax the security policies slightly but in a controllable way. This approach allows typical template-based Web applications to run effectively with FlyingTemplate. As an experiment, we tested the SPECweb2005 banking application using FlyingTemplate without any other modifications and saw throughput improvements from 1.6x to 2.0x in its best mode. In addition, FlyingTemplate can enforce compliance with a simple security policy, thus addressing the security problems of client-server partitioning in the Web environment.
An experiment in real time pricing for control of electric thermal storage systems (1991)

The authors present the results of an experiment designed to test the economic benefits of real-time pricing (RTP) used to schedule electric thermal storage (ETS) systems in a New York utility's service territory during the winter of 1989-1990. Three customers with EST systems were placed on an experimental RTP rate for their heating load only. A complete automated RTP-based control system was designed and retrofitted in place of the existing time-of-use (TOU)-based control system. The design, development, and implementation of the experimental RTP rate, customer response algorithms, and the energy management systems are described. Costs to the utility of the provision of service went down by about 10% beyond savings achieved under the TOU-based control system for a system with no storage.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Medicinal plants from Siddha system of medicine useful for treating respiratory diseases (2009)

Siddha system of medicine (SSM) is one of the oldest traditional systems of medicine, which has been originated from India and is practiced mostly in the southern part of this country for treating various diseases including even chronic conditions. However, it is relatively veiled to the scientific community as compared to other traditional systems such as Ayurveda (a popular Indian medicine), TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and Kampo (traditional Japanese medicine). Respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are a serious health problem, which are increasing rapidly worldwide. The current therapy has its own shortcomings and notable adverse effects. There is an intense need to search some safer alternative therapy for treating these epidemic diseases. The objectives of this article is, first, to increase the awareness about SSM to the scientific community, thus inviting more scientific studies on this system, and secondly, to list certain medicinal plants of this system which are commonly used for treating respiratory diseases. To explore the possibility for obtaining potential drugs from these plants, certain future perspectives have also been discussed.
Fibre optics in palladium-based hydrogen sensing (2007)

Hydrogen sensing at low concentrations in the order of tens to hundreds of parts per million (ppm) over extended periods requires highly sensitive and stable sensor technology. Palladium and its alloys are widely used in hydrogen sensing as they show a high and selective affinity for hydrogen. On exposure to hydrogen, Pd experiences a volumetric expansion, roughly proportional to the hydrogen concentration in the environment. This volumetric expansion can be measured either directly by dimensional monitoring or through monitoring of secondary physical effects. Optical sensor technology is a preferred technique for hydrogen sensing because of its inherent safety for use in a potentially explosive environment, and several optical hydrogen sensors have been reported. However, the majority have been designed to measure hydrogen concentrations of a few per cent in air, whereas the sensors described here are capable of operating in concentrations down to hundreds of ppm. Fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) and interferometric length monitoring are shown to be able to monitor the dimensions of a palladium sensor element. Hydrogenation not only induces physical strain but also changes the electronic configuration resulting in a change in refractive index which can be monitored using a long-period grating (LPG). The paper discusses the respective characteristics of these different optical measurement techniques using Pd and Pd/Ag alloys as sensor elements for hydrogen concentrations between 100 ppm and 1%.
A simple low-dissipation amplifier for cryogenic STM (2002)

A current sensitive preamplifier designed for low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy applications is presented. It combines the dc current measurement necessary for the feedback loop operation with a low noise ac measurement used for spectroscopy. The active device is a high electron mobility transistor which was chosen for its low input capacitance and excellent low-temperature performance. The power dissipation of the transistor can be kept at about 10 μW making it compatible with a variety of cryogenic systems. The ac current sensitivity is about 4 fA/√Hz at 4.2 K.
Paclitaxel (Taxol) and Taxoid Derivates for Lung Cancer Treatment: Potential for Aerosol Delivery (2003)

Paclitaxel (PTX, Taxol) has revolutionized cancer treatment in the past decade and is recognized as one of the biggest advances in oncology medicine. In spite of the good clinical efficacy shown by PTX, there is still a growing need to achieve better safety and pharmacokinetic profile of PTX in patients. The standard delivery modalities of intravenous infusion result in multiple side effects, and targeting of the drug to specific areas within the body can result in better efficacy and lower toxicity. Aerosol delivery of therapeutic agents has the potential of localizing the drugs specifically to the lung tissue, with a comparable or better pharmacokinetics as compared to intravenous, oral or intraperitoneal delivery. Aerosol delivery of PTX has not been studied extensively, however, it holds immense potential for improving the efficacy against lung tumors. Early pre-clinical studies in mice and dogs have shown good promise, both for pharmacokinetics of PTX, safety and efficacy in lung cancer models. This review looks at the still developing approach of aerosol delivery of PTX for lung cancer, documents the progress so far and the future directions that can bring this approach to clinical reality.
Robust Camera Calibration using Inaccurate Targets (2010)

Accurate intrinsic camera calibration is essential to any computer vision task that\ninvolves image based measurements. Given its crucial role with respect to precision, a\nlarge number of approaches have been proposed over the last decades. Despite this rich\nliterature, steady advancements in imaging hardware regularly push forward the need\nfor even more accurate techniques. Some authors suggest generalizations of the camera\nmodel itself, others propose novel designs for calibration targets or different optimization\nschemas. In this paper we take a completely different route by directly addressing one\nof the most overlooked problems in practical calibration scenarios. Specifically, we drop\nthe assumption that the target is known with enough precision and we adjust it in an\niterative way as part of the whole process. This is in fact the case with the typical target\nused in most of the calibration literature, which is usually printed on paper and stitched\non a flat surface. In the experimental section we show that even with such a cheaply\ncrafted target it is possible to obtain a very accurate camera calibration that outperforms\nthose obtained with well-known standard techniques.
Expression of the helix‐loop‐helix gene Id3 during murine embryonic development (1995)

The family of dominant-negative helix-loop-helix (dnHLH) transcriptional modulators consists of four mammalian genes known to date: Id1, Id2, Id3 (Id3 was formerly designated HLH462 or HEIR1 or HLH1R21), and Id4. We have performed a detailed study of Id3 expression in mouse embryos in order to gain insight into the possible developmental control functions of this gene and to compare its expression to that of other mammalian dnHLH genes. Employing RNA in situ hybridization on sectioned mouse embryos of gestational stages E9.5-17.5 and neonatal head, we generally detected a high abundance of transcripts at early stages that gradually declined at most sites toward E15.5. Expression of Id3 in embryos was detected in brain, spinal cord, olfactory system, branchial arches, limbs, sclerotome, endocardiac cushions, the outer lining of the gut, lung, retina, the collecting system of the kidney, and in tooth anlagen. Although the abundance of mRNA decreased toward later stages in most tissues, it remained high in teeth and kidney. This expression pattern suggests that Id3 functions both in undifferentiated tissues and in organs which are in the process of differentiation. When compared to the expression of other dnHLH genes, it becomes obvious that the pattern of Id3 mainly coincides with that of Id1. This may reflect a partial redundancy in gene function. Furthermore, previous experiments suggested a mutually exclusive expression of the proto-oncogene N-myc an Id3. The results of the present study confirm these data.
Los referentes virtuales en la construcción de la realidad (2005)

Escribio Norbert Wiener, padre fundador de cibernetica, que el pensamiento de cada epoca refleja en su tecnica (1998, p. 64). Internet ha modificado nuestra forma de pensar” mundo porque ha modificado nuestra forma de estar presentes en el. Las tecnologias digitales han tenido como primera consecuencia una forma diferente de comunicarnos y de acercarnos a realidad. Han traido un concepto de espacio y tiempo distinto, cambiando por tanto concepto de territorio, de frontera, de distancia, la palabra aqui ya practicamente no quiere decir nada (Finkielkraut, 1998, p. 146). Los referentes virtuales aumentan en nuestra vida cotidiana a velocidad geometrica, en comunicacion personal, a nivel social, politico y economico. Estos espacios inmateriales crean un nuevo contexto de referencia donde los codigos que imponen trastocan los valores clasicos y a vez modifican los planteamientos basicos para movernos en ellos, porque “tecnologia informatica transforma no solo nuestras vidas, sino tambien imaginario en cual vivimos” (Levis, 1997, p. 27). De forma diferente a lo que ocurrio con radio o television que nos acercaban una parte del mundo aunque descontextualizada y construian su discurso sobre ella, ahora no se trata ya de imitacion ni de reiteracion, incluso ni de parodia, sino de una suplantacion de lo por los signos de lo real (Baudrillard, 1984, p.p 9-10). El mundo virtual suplanta al mundo material y hombre vive ?espejismo? de existencia de un espacio paralelo mas accesible, lo tenemos todo al alcance de nuestra mano con solo acceder a un teclado. Transacciones comerciales, viajar o “navegar”, conocer a otras personas, charlar con alguien en otra parte del planeta, son actividades que realizan sobre una base simbolica al no tener un contexto fisico comun de referencia. La sensacion material ha sido reemplazada por reino de lo inmaterial, atomo que mide y sopesa ha sido sustituido por bit (Verdu, 1996, p. 108), y en este proceso de digitalizacion de realidad podemos preguntarnos ?que es realidad y que es simulacion?, ?que existe y que imaginamos?, ?cual objeto y cual referente?.
The Phosphorylcholine Epitope Undergoes Phase Variation on a 43-Kilodalton Protein in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and on Pili of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> and <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> (1998)

Phosphorylcholine (ChoP) is a component of the teichoic acids of Streptococcus pneumoniae and has been recently identified on the lipopolysaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae, also a major pathogen of the human respiratory tract. Other gram-negative pathogens that frequently infect the human respiratory tract were surveyed for the presence of the ChoP epitope as indicated by binding to monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) recognizing this structure. The ChoP epitope was found on a 43-kDa protein on all clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa examined and on several class I and II pili of Neisseria meningitidis. The specificity of the anti-ChoP MAb was demonstrated by the inhibition of binding in the presence of ChoP but not structural analogs. As in the case of H. influenzae, the expression of this epitope was phase variable on these species. In P. aeruginosa, this epitope was expressed at detectable levels only at lower growth temperatures. Expression of the ChoP epitope on piliated neisseriae displayed phase variation, both linked to pilus expression and independently of fully piliated bacteria.
Substituent and heteroatom effects on the electrochromic properties of similar systems (2011)

Abstract Electrochromic polymers called poly(3,4‐dihydro‐3,3‐bis ((naphthalen‐1‐yl)methyl)‐2H‐thieno[3,4‐b][1,4]dioxepine) (PProDOT‐Np 2 ), poly(3,3‐dibenzyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐selenopheno[3,4‐b][1,4]dioxepine), and poly(3,3‐dibenzyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐thieno[3,4‐b][1,4]dioxepine) were synthesized electrochemically and the effect of substituents and heteroatoms on the electrochromic properties were investigated for the similar systems. All polymers show electrochromism from a colored state when neutralized to transmissive when oxidized. Although, increasing bulky size (PProDOT‐Np 2 ) causes lower coloration efficiency (CE) as well as lower optical contrast, the replacement of S atom by Se atom resulted in a lower band gap polymer with a higher CE than its thiophene analog. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Organizing a mucosal defense (2005)

Gastrointestinal associated lymphoid tissue can be divided into loosely organized effector sites, which include the lamina propria and intraepithelial lymphocytes, and more organized structures, such as mesenteric lymph nodes (LNs), Peyer's patches (PPs), isolated lymphoid follicles, and cryptopatches (CPs). These organized structures in the gastrointestinal tract have been hypothesized to play the role of primary lymphoid organ, supporting the extrathymic development of T lymphocytes (CPs), secondary lymphoid organs involved in the induction of the mucosal immune response (PPs), and tertiary lymphoid structures whose function is still under debate (isolated lymphoid follicles). The most widely studied lymphoid structure found in the small intestine is the PP. PPs are secondary lymphoid structures, and their development and function have been extensively investigated. However, single lymphoid aggregates resembling PPs have been also described in humans and in the murine small intestines. These isolated lymphoid follicles have both germinal centers and an overlying follicle-associated epithelium, suggesting that they also can function as inductive sites for the mucosal immune response. This review compares and contrasts the development and function of the four main organized gastrointestinal lymphoid tissues: CPs, isolated lymphoid follicles, PPs, and mesenteric LNs.
Direction finding using a four-element time-switched array system (2008)

A four element time-switched array system is described. The received signal from each element of the array is time switched and combined to provide a phase modulated output signal. The form of the time modulation is related both to the switching waveform and the direction of arrival of the incident signal. The angular response at the first upper and lower harmonic frequencies exhibits a single deep null which can be scanned in angle over a full 360 range by controlling the element switching waveform. The time-switched array therefore achieves active electronic null steering without the need for phase shift, or time delay, networks.
Major cast detection in video using both audio and visual information (2002)

Major casts, for example, the anchor persons or reporters in news broadcast programs and principle characters in movies play an important role in video, and their occurrences provide good indices for organizing and presenting video content. This paper describes a new approach for automatically generating the list of major casts in a video sequence based on multiple modalities, specifically, both speaker and face information. A list of major casts is created and ordered by the accumulative temporal and spatial presence of corresponding casts. Preliminary simulation results show that the detected major casts are meaningful and the proposed approach is promising.

Homogenous catalytic conjugation of polyunsaturated fats by chromium carbonyls (1970)

Abstract Various arene‐Cr (CO) 3 complexes and Cr(CO) 6 are effective soluble catalysts for the conjugation of polyunsaturated fats. Methyl benzoate‐Cr(CO) 3 is one of the most active catalysts. The following conjugation levels were obtained: methyl linoleate, 65%; methyl linolenate, 45%; the polyunsaturates in soybean and safflower oils, 73%; and in linseed oil 48%. Conjugated dienes from linoleate were predominantly cis,trans in configuration. Their double bonds were distributed between C 5 and C 16 of the fatty acid chain. Hydrogenation and dehydrogenation are side reactions, which seem to limit the yield of conjugated dienes from methyl linoleate. A conjugation mechanism is proposed that involves allyl‐HCr(CO) 3 complexes as intermediates undergoing 1,3‐ and 1,5‐hydrogen shifts.
Model-aided inertial navigation for underwater vehicles (2008)

This paper reports the development and experimental evaluation of a complete model-aided inertial navigation system (INS) for underwater vehicles. The navigation system is novel in that accurate knowledge of the vehicle dynamics is utilized for aiding the INS, and the performance is evaluated using real data collected by an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Together with real-time sea current estimation, the output from a kinetic vehicle model describing the dynamics is integrated in the navigation system. The presented experimental results verify that with merely an addition of software and no added instrumentation, it is possible to significantly improve the accuracy and robustness of an INS by utilizing the physical insight provided by a kinetic vehicle model. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first report on the implementation and experimental evaluation of a complete model-aided INS for underwater vehicle navigation. The proposed approach shows promise to improve underwater navigation capabilities both for systems lacking disparate velocity measurements, typically from a Doppler velocity log (DVL), and for systems where the need for redundancy and integrity is important, e.g. during sensor dropouts or failures, or in case of emergency navigation. The reported methodology is applicable to a large group of submersibles, as well as land and aerial crafts and robots.

Identification of interleukin 4 receptor‐associated proteins and expression of both high‐ and low‐affinity binding on human lymphoid cells (1989)

Interleukin 4 (IL4) produced by activated T cells expresses its biological effects on T and B lymphocytes by binding to specific membrane receptors. Cross-linking of human recombinant 125I-IL4 to peripheral blood mononuclear cells identifies a trimolecular complex consisting of a 65/70-kDa doublet and a 110-kDa protein. Scatchard analysis reveals about 300 IL4 binding sites/cell on resting cells with an equilibrium binding constant (Kd) of approximately 100 pM. Stimulation by anti-CD3 antibodies causes an up-regulation of IL4 receptors by a factor of 2 to 3 without any change in binding affinity. In addition to this high-affinity binding site a second class of a previously unidentified, low-affinity receptor (Kd approximately 30 nM, approximately 9000 sites/cell) is expressed on resting lymphocytes. The number of low-affinity binding sites for IL 4 also increases twofold upon cell activation. Exogenous IL 4 enhances the expression of its receptor on resting lymphocytes and this effect is further increased by anti-CD3 activation. Binding of IL4 to its receptor is specific, being only inhibited by IL 4 and not by IL2. By contrast, the gibbon leukemia cell line MLA 144 expresses only high-affinity receptors for IL4. Cross-linking studies reveal a 45/50-kDa IL 4 receptor-associated doublet in addition to the three proteins identified in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The functional significance of the different proteins composing the receptor for IL4 is discussed.

Autologous fascia lata for heart valve replacement (1970)

To obviate the drawbacks of prosthetic devices and in search of a better substitute for diseased heart valves a technique of using autologous fascia lata grafts attached to a support frame was developed. The technique of preparing mounted fascia lata grafts is briefly outlined and their surgical implantation into the mitral, tricuspid, and aortic areas is described. Since April 1969, 83 fascial grafts have been inserted into 76 patients with very good immediate and short-term results. Ten patients succumbed within the operative period. None of these deaths was due to failure of the graft <i>per se.</i> Thromboembolic manifestations have been completely absent although anticoagulants were not used. All sixty-six survivors are very much improved. Data concerning the structure and function of fascia are presented and the experimental and clinical use of fascia lata in extracardiac and cardiac surgery is reviewed. The use of autologous, living, fascia lata valves is considered to be a better approach for heart valve replacement because autologous fascia maintains its structure unchanged after transplantation and, being under mechanical stimulation, it retains its functional properties.
