Development's Victim or Its Beneficiary?: The Impact of Oil and Gas Development on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation (2011)

This article assesses whether oil and gas development on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, given the critical geographic, legal, and socio-cultural differences which set it apart from the rest of North Dakota, will bring with it potentially devastating and unmanageable impacts that may overwhelm the tribal people of that reservation. The article seeks to fill an analytic gap in the existing oil and gas scholarship that has not, in the author's estimation, given sufficient regard to development's unique rights and impacts in Indian Country.
The convergence of a modified barrier method for convex programming (1994)

We show, using elementary considerations, that a modified barrier function method for the solution of convex programming problems converges for any fixed positive setting of the barrier parameter. With mild conditions on the primal and dual feasible regions, we show how to use the modified barrier function method to obtain primal and dual optimal solutions, even in the presence of degeneracy. We illustrate the argument for convergence in the case of linear programming, and then generalize it to the convex programming case.
Ablation of polymethyl methacrylate films by pulsed (ns) ultraviolet and infrared (9.17 μm) lasers: A comparative study by ultrafast imaging (1993)

Ablation of the surface of a polymethyl methacrylate film by single pulses of 193 or 248 nm laser radiation (∼20 ns) or 9.17 μm laser radiation (∼170 ns) was studied by photographing the emergence of the plume by a pulse (≤1 ns; 596 nm) of visible laser light. The dynamics of the blast wave was similar in the ultraviolet (UV) and in the infrared (IR) but the composition of the product mixture was entirely different. Essentially the only product that IR laser pulses gave was a volatile refractive vapor which is presumed to be the monomer, methyl methacrylate (MMA). UV (248 nm) laser pulses gave gaseous products with very little MMA and a large fraction of solid polymer as has been documented in the literature. Examination of the solid material in the plume at high magnification showed that it was structured in the early phase (≤3 μs) of its emergence from the surface but at longer times melted and formed liquid drops in the region above the surface of the polymer. UV (193 nm) laser pulses yielded gaseous products which included MMA. The solid material in the plume did not show any sign of melting. Gas production at the surface as well as in the first few micrometers below the surface appears to be an important factor in the dynamics of the plume in UV ablation. The relevance of photochemical and photothermal mechanisms in laser ablation is discussed in the light of the chemistry of the products seen in this study.

Open Compound Domain Adaptation (2020)

A typical domain adaptation approach is to adapt models trained on the annotated data in a source domain (e.g., sunny weather) for achieving high performance on the test data in a target domain (e.g., rainy weather). Whether the target contains a single homogeneous domain or multiple heterogeneous domains, existing works always assume that there exist clear distinctions between the domains, which is often not true in practice (e.g., changes in weather). We study an open compound domain adaptation (OCDA) problem, in which the target is a compound of multiple homogeneous domains without domain labels, reflecting realistic data collection from mixed and novel situations. We propose a new approach based on two technical insights into OCDA: 1) a curriculum domain adaptation strategy to bootstrap generalization across domains in a data-driven self-organizing fashion and 2) a memory module to increase the model's agility towards novel domains. Our experiments on digit classification, facial expression recognition, semantic segmentation, and reinforcement learning demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
Studies on the Antineoplasticity of Schiff Bases Containing 5-Nitrofuran and Pyrimidine (1990)

Antineoplastic properties of different Schiff bases obtained by the interaction of 5-nitrofuran with substituted pyrimidines have been examined both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies on L 5178Y/asparaginase sensitive, HL 60 and P 388 cell lines and in vivo studies on the P 388 cell line indicate that all the compounds are potential antineoplastic agents. However, 2-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidene-amino)-pyrimidine (SBP1) is the most effective, and 2-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidene-amino)-6-hydroxypyrimidine (SBP3) is the least effective agent. Doubling time, rates of protein and DNA synthesis inhibition and LD50 values-1,000 mg/kg body weight for SBP1 and 1,275 mg/kg body weight for 2-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidene-amino)-4- methylpyrimidine (SBP2)- in the oral route support the activity and use of SBP1 and SBP2 as future anticancer agents.
New Force Field for Na Cations in Faujasite-Type Zeolites (1999)

We have developed and validated a new force field for cations in zeolites, which explicitly distinguishes Si and Al atoms, as well as different types of oxygens in the framework. Our new force field gives excellent agreement with experimental data on cation positions, site occupancies and vibrational frequencies. Energy minimizations show that Na cations in site I are not at the centers of hexagonal prisms, but rather are in one of two symmetric SI sites displaced by about 0.6 Å along the [111] direction. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that most cations are immobile in Na−X and Na−Y on the MD time scale, even at 1000 K. Only Na−X cations in site III‘ exhibit diffusive motion at 1000 K, with a self-diffusivity from MD of 3.6 × 10-10 m2 s-1. The MD simulations also show that cation movement is highly correlated, composed of jumps involving at least 4 cations or more.
Field Testing LIDAR-Based Feed-Forward Controls on the NREL Controls Advanced Research Turbine (2013)

Wind turbines are complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems driven by aerodynamic, gravitational, centrifugal, and gyroscopic forces. The aerodynamics of wind turbines are nonlinear, unsteady, and complex. Turbine rotors are subjected to a chaotic three-dimensional (3-D) turbulent wind inflow field with imbedded coherent vortices that drive fatigue loads and reduce lifetime. In order to reduce cost of energy, future large multimegawatt turbines must be designed with lighter weight structures, using active controls to mitigate fatigue loads, maximize energy capture, and add active damping to maintain stability for these dynamically active structures operating in a complex environment. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and University of Stuttgart are designing, implementing, and testing advanced feed-back and feed-forward controls in order to reduce the cost of energy for wind turbines.
Preclinical investigation of combined gene-mediated cytotoxic immunotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade in glioblastoma (2017)

Our data show that the GMCI/anti-PD-1 combination is well tolerated and effective in glioblastoma mouse models. These results support evaluation of this combination in glioblastoma patients.
MicroRNA expression profiling in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (2007)

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are negative regulators of gene expression that play an important role in hematopoiesis and tumorigenesis. We analyzed miRNA expression in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and the influence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection on the miRNA expression profiles. The expression of 157 miRNAs in lymph nodes from 49 cHL patients and 10 reactive lymph nodes (RLNs) was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Hierarchic clustering revealed 3 well-defined groups: nodular sclerosis cHL, mixed cellularity cHL, and RLNs. A distinctive signature of 25 miRNAs differentiated cHL from RLNs, and 36 miRNAs were differentially expressed in the nodular sclerosis and mixed cellularity subtypes. These results were validated in a set of 30 cHLs and 5 RLNs, and in 3 cHL cell lines. miR-96, miR-128a, and miR-128b were selectively down-regulated in cHL with EBV. Our findings suggest that miRNAs play an important role in the biology of cHL and may be useful in developing therapies targeting miRNAs.
Semi-supervised Learning Based on Semiparametric Regularization (2008)

Semi-supervised learning plays an important role in the recent literature on machine learning and data mining and the developed semisupervised learning techniques have led to many data mining applications in recent years. This paper addresses the semi-supervised learning problem by developing a semiparametric regularization based approach, which attempts to discover the marginal distribution of the data to learn the parametric function through exploiting the geometric distribution of the data. This learned parametric function can then be incorporated into the supervised learning on the available labeled data as the prior knowledge. Specifically, our contributions are: (1) We present a semi-supervised learning approach which incorporates the unlabeled data into the supervised learning by a parametric function learned from the whole data including the labeled and unlabeled data. The parametric function reflects the geometric structure of the marginal distribution of the data. Furthermore, the proposed approach which naturally extends to the out-of-sample data is an inductive learning method in nature. (2) This approach allows a family of algorithms to be developed based on various choices of the original RKHS and the loss function. (3) We provide experimental comparisons showing that the proposed approach leads the state-of-the-art performance on a variety of classification tasks. In particular, we demonstrate that this approach can be used successfully in both transductive and semisupervised settings. 1
Selective Ligands for Benzodiazepine Receptors: Recent Developments (1990)

We are all familiar with the term benzodiazepine, as are a significant proportion of the general public. In the public domain it is a term synonymous with diazepam that connotes dependence and withdrawal. The scientific community also has its misconceptions about the term benzodiazepine, which is perhaps not surprising given the speed of evolution of our knowledge about these drugs, their receptors and the uniqueness of their pharmacology. In no other field of CNS pharmacology has such a short time elapsed between the discovery of a receptor and its cloning and expression. It is at times hard to believe that the first report of brain-specific benzodiazepine receptors was made only 12 years ago (Squires and Braestrup, 1977; Mohler and Okada, 1978). Not surprisingly, some of the more recent and novel aspects of benzodiazepine pharmacology have not yet been fully assimilated.
Naphtho[1′,2′:5,6] pyrano[2,3‐<i>c</i>] pyrazole derivatives (1975)

Abstract Reaction of 1‐oxo‐3‐dialkylamino‐1 H ‐naphtho[2,1 ‐b ]pyrans with N,N ‐dimethylformamide in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride afforded the corresponding 1‐oxo‐2‐formyl‐3‐dialkyl‐amino‐1 H ‐naphtho[2,1 ‐b ]pyrans. Condensation of 1‐oxo‐2‐formyl‐3‐dimethylamino‐1 H ‐naphtho[2,1 ‐b ]pyran with hydrazine or monosubstituted hydrazines was found to lead to the formation of 8‐alkyl(aryl)‐1 1‐oxo‐8 H ,1 1 H ‐naplitho[1′,2′:5,6] pyrano[2,3‐c]pyrazoles through the intermediate hydrazones and subsequent cyclization. The same result was achieved starting from other 3‐dialkylamino derivatives but in a lower yield.
Incorporating MRI region information into SPECT reconstruction using joint estimation (2002)

Single photon emission computed tomographic images (SPECT) have relatively poor resolution. In an attempt to improve SPECT image quality, many methods have been developed for including anatomic information, extracted from higher resolution, structurally correlated magnetic resonance images (MRI), into the SPECT reconstruction process. These methods provide improved SPECT reconstruction accuracy if the anatomic information is perfectly correlated with the SPECT functional information. However there exist mismatches between MRI anatomical structures and SPECT functional structures due to different imaging mechanisms. It has been reported that if the MR structures are applied into SPECT, the mismatched part will cause artifacts. The paper describes a joint estimation approach which unifies MR information extraction and SPECT reconstruction processes to avoid these artifacts. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations show that the method improves the SPECT reconstruction where the MR information matches and is robust to mismatched MR information.
Interaction of Chlorine with Hydrogenated Diamond Surface (1995)

Abstract The interaction of chlorine with the hydrogenated diamond surface has been investigated by diffuse reflectance Fourier‐transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed desorption (TPD) spectroscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The hydrogenated diamond surface is chlorinated by thermal reaction in chlorine. Hydrogen chemisorbed on the diamond surface is abstracted by chlorine and the chemisorption of chlorine is yielded. Hydroxyl groups are produced by treatment of the chlorinated diamond with water vapor at room temperature. Amino groups are produced by treatment of the chlorinated diamond with ammonia at 425 °C.
Nucleotide sequence of a fragment of SV40 DNA that contains the origin of DNA replication and specifies the 5' ends of "early" and "late" viral RNA. III. Construction of the total sequence of EcoRII-G fragment of SV40 DNA. (1977)

Limited T1 RNase digestion of subfragments of the SV40 DNA restriction endonuclease fragment EcoRII-G were prepared and analyzed. The fragments were separately labeled with 32P at their 5' terminus and the terminal sequences analyzed with limited snake venom diesterase digestion. The data permitted us to deduce the nucleotide sequence for EcoRII-G. The sequence contains a stretch of 17 A-T base pairs preceding the DNA complementary to the 5' end of "early" message RNA, a stretch of 27 bases with a perfect 2-fold rotational symmetry near the origin of DNA replication and a perfect tandem repeat of 21 nucleotides.

The Selective Phosphodiesterase 9 (PDE9) Inhibitor PF-04447943 Attenuates a Scopolamine-Induced Deficit in a Novel Rodent Attention Task (2011)

Numerous changes occur during aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, including a decline in cholinergic functioning and cognition, as well as alterations in gene expression and activity in the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO/cGMP) pathway. Donepezil, the current standard of care for Alzheimer's disease, improves cholinergic functioning and has demonstrated effects on multiple domains of cognition, including memory and attention in both preclinical species and patients. We previously found that increasing activation of the NO/cGMP pathway via phosphodiesterase 9 (PDE9) inhibition also improves memory in rodents and suggested that PDE9 might be a promising target for novel treatments for AD. Here we investigated whether PDE9 inhibition also enhances attention using a novel attention task in rats. We validated this task using several pharmacological manipulations and showed that the selective PDE9 inhibitor PF-04447943 produced effects similar to those of donepezil. These data confirm and extend the hypothesis that PDE9 inhibition might serve as a novel treatment for AD and age-related cognitive decline.
Hierarchical support vector regression for QoS prediction of network traffic data (2017)

Prediction of QoS plays significant role for network-based services for seamless and dynamic integration of various components. A novel HMRLRSVR technique towards delivering better QoS on network traffic is presented here which is addressed through latency, throughput and jitter of the network. This technique has higher prediction accuracy than the others.
Fluoroscopically guided cervical prolotherapy for instability with blinded pre and post radiographic reading. (2005)

The results of this study demonstrate statistically significant correlations between proliferant injections, a reduction of both cervical flexion and extension translation, as well as a reduction in pain VAS score. Since patients with traumatic cervical instability have few viable treatment options other than surgical fusion, cervical proliferant injections under C-Arm fluoroscope may be a viable treatment option.
Defining Generic Architecture for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service Model (2011)

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is one of the provisioning models for Clouds as defined in the NIST Clouds definition. Although widely used, current IaaS implementations and solutions doesn’t have common and well defined architecture model. The paper attempts to define a generic architecture for IaaS based on current research by authors in developing novel architectural framework for Infrastructure Services On-Demand (ISOD) provisioning that allows for combined network and IT resources provisioning. The paper proposes the Composable Services Architecture (CSA) that extends the SOA based Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) architecture for dynamically configurable virtualised services. The proposed CSA includes the Services Delivery Framework (CSA SDF) as another important component that defines the services provisioning workflow and supporting infrastructure for provisioned services lifecycle management. The CSA SDF extends existing lifecycle management frameworks with additional stages such as "Registration and Synchronisation" and "Provisioning Session Binding" that target such scenarios as the provisioned services recovery or re-planning/migration and provide necessary mechanisms for consistent security services provisioning as an important component of the provisioned on-demand infrastructure. The paper also describes the GEMBus (GEANT Multidomain Bus) that is considered as a CSA middleware platform. The presented architecture is the result of the on-going cooperative effort of the two EU projects GEANT3 JRA3 Composable Services and GEYSERS.
New Constituents of Sweet <i>Capsicum annuum</i> L. Fruits and Evaluation of Their Biological Activity (2006)

Four new acyclic diterpene glycosides named capsianosides (1-4), together with 12 known compounds, were isolated from the fresh sweet pepper fruits of Capsicum annuum L., a plant used as a vegetable food, spice, and external medicine. The chemical structures of new natural compounds, as well as their absolute configurations, were established by means of spectroscopic data including infrared, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and by chemical derivatization. The known capsidiol (11) showed bacteriostatic properties in vitro against Helicobacter pylori with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 200 microg/mL when compared with the commercial drug metronidazole (MIC, 250 microg/mL). Some purified components were also tested for their antioxidant activities.
Accumulation of Risk Markers Predicts the Incidence of Sudden Death in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure (2005)

Rather than particular risk markers, the number of accumulated risk markers was a more powerful predictor for sudden death in patients with CHF. The number of risk markers could be useful for risk stratification of sudden death.
Design of low-power ROM-less direct digital frequency synthesizer using nonlinear digital-to-analog converter (1999)

A design technique that uses nonlinear digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for implementing low-power direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS) is proposed. The nonlinear DAC is used in place of the ROM look up table for phase-to-sine amplitude conversion and the linear DAC in a conventional DDFS. Since the proposed design technique for DDFS does not require a ROM, significant saving in power dissipation results. The design procedure for implementing the nonlinear DAC is presented. To demonstrate the proposed technique, two quadrature DDFSs, one using nonlinear resistor string DACs and the other using nonlinear current-mode DACs, were implemented. For a 3.3-V supply, the resulting power dissipation for both DDFSs are 4 and 92 mW at a clock rate of 25 MHz and 230 MHz, respectively. For both DDFSs, the spurious free dynamic ranges are over 55 dB for low synthesized frequencies.
