Fiber Bragg Grating signal processing using artificial neural networks, an extended measuring range analysis (2007)

This paper describes and discusses the application of artificial neural networks (ANN) in fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) signal processing that use narrow band filters as demodulation paradigm to extend the measuring range. The major advantage of the proposed method relies on that the ANN signal processing enables the use of both edges of the narrow band filters without ambiguities, achieving an extended measuring range of the FBG sensors by concatenating n narrow band filters. Experimental results are presented for two different cases of a temperature measuring application in the range between 25degC and 250degC. These situations consider the relative superposition effect of the concatenation method adopted to extend the measuring range. The results are then analyzed according to the proposed solution characteristics and the relative superposition of the narrow band filters.
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Has Multiple Mechanisms for Blocking Virus-Induced Interferon Production (2004)

In response to viral infection, host cells elicit a number of responses, including the expression of alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta). In these cells, IFN regulatory factor-3 (IRF-3) undergoes a sequence of posttranslational modifications that allow it to act as a potent transcriptional coactivator of specific IFN genes, including IFN-beta. We investigated the mechanisms by which herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) inhibits the production of IFN-beta mediated by the IRF-3 signaling pathway. Here, we show that HSV-1 infection can block the accumulation of IFN-beta triggered by Sendai virus (SeV) infection. Our results indicate that HSV-1 infection blocks the nuclear accumulation of activated IRF-3 but does not block the initial virus-induced phosphorylation of IRF-3. The former effect was at least partly mediated by increased turnover of IRF-3 in HSV-1-infected cells. Using mutant viruses, we determined that the immediate-early protein ICP0 was necessary for the inhibition of IRF-3 nuclear accumulation. Expression of ICP0 also had the ability to reduce IFN-beta production induced by SeV infection. ICP0 has been shown previously to play a role in HSV-1 sensitivity to IFN and in the inhibition of antiviral gene production. However, we observed that an ICP0 mutant virus still retained the ability to inhibit the production of IFN-beta. These results argue that HSV-1 has multiple mechanisms to inhibit the production of IFN-beta, providing additional ways in which HSV-1 can block the IFN-mediated host response.
Preparation of glucuronoxylooligosaccharides from an acid hydrolysate of corn-hulls. (1990)

Various kinds of aldobiouronic acids, which are disaccharides consisting of xylose and GlcUA or 4-0-Me-GlcUA,are essential as a standard sample for the structural study of glucuronoxylan and as a substrate for study of the substrate specificity of a-glucuronidase.1"3) We report on the preparation of four kinds of aldobiouronic acids and two kinds of aldotriouronic acids from an acid hydrolysate of corn-hulls.
Imprinting of R-r, paramutation of B-I and Pl, and epigenetic silencing of MuDR/Mu transposons in Zea mays L. are coordinately affected by inbred background (2001)

The extent of imprinting at R-r, frequency of paramutation at B-Intense and Pl, and epigenetic silencing of Mu transposons were evaluated in the W23 and A188 inbred lines of maize. All types of epigenetic phenomena affecting these loci of the anthocyanin pathway occurred more frequently in the W23 inbred line. Absence of down-regulation was dominant in F1 hybrid progeny. Identical alleles programme lower anthocyanin accumulation in A188 than in W23, and A188 plants develop more rapidly than W23. The possibilities that specific genetic factors, intrinsic gene expression levels and/or the rapidity of the life cycle modulate epigenetic gene controls are discussed.
Browning of Freeze-Dried Probiotic Bacteria Cultures in Relation to Loss of Viability during Storage (2009)

Freeze-dried cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-5) showed visible brown discoloration even after a short storage at relatively mild conditions (a(w) = 0.22 and 30 degrees C), and the browning processes were found to coincide with bacteria inactivation. It was demonstrated, by using high-pressure treatment for obtaining bacteria samples with different ratios of live/dead bacteria, that death of bacteria is not a prerequisite for the browning processes. Furthermore, it was shown that hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) (or condensation products of HMF) introduces accelerated viability loss when HMF is added to the freeze-drying medium. Discoloration of bacteria cultures containing only sucrose/maltodextrin or lactose/maltodextrin in the freeze-drying matrices is suggested to be related to various types of nonenzymatic browning reactions, including carbonyl-protein (or carbonyl-DNA) interactions and carbohydrate condensation/polymerization (without involvement of proteins), the latter proceeding at low a(w) following hydrolysis of the peptidoglycan layer in the bacteria cell wall. More than one single type of browning reaction is accordingly concluded to be related to bacteria death, and the loss of viability in freeze-dried bacteria seems to be influenced by oxidation reactions, browning reactions, and the physical instability of the bacteria membrane/cell wall.
A Simple Thermal Correction for Large Spin Traction Curves (1981)

Presented in this paper is a simple design technique, based upon energy equivalence methods, to predict the thermally influenced large spin traction curves from a single nonspin large slip traction curve. The performance characteristics of variable speed traction drives is very closely linked to the rheological behavior of the fluid in the contact. At moderate values of spin the traction force can be predicted quite accurately from the Johnson and Tevaarwerk model. Their model is completely isothermal in nature. As the spin increases a definite discrepancy occurs between predicted and measured data and this discrepancy grows with increasing spin. Elastic effects in the fluid are negligible at these larger spin values and therefore the shearing is purely dissipative in nature. The observed discrepancy is thought to be caused by the heating of the material in the contact and the loss of limiting strength accompained by this. The model presented in this paper reduces the discrepancy between isothermally predicted spin traction and the thermally affected traction.
Recombinant microorganisms for industrial production of antibiotics (1997)

The enhancement of industrial antibiotic yield has been achieved through technological innovations and traditional strain improvement programs based on random mutation and screening. The development of recombinant DNA techniques and their application to antibiotic producing microorganisms has allowed yield increments and the design of biosynthetic pathways giving rise to new antibiotics. Genetic manipulations of the cephalosporin producing fungus Cephalosporium acremonium have included yield improvements, accomplished increasing biosynthetic gene dosage or enhancing oxygen uptake, and new biosynthetic capacities as 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) or penicillin G production. Similarly, in Penicillium chrysogenum, the industrial penicillin producing fungus, heterologous expression of cephalosporin biosynthetic genes has led to the biosynthesis of adipyl-7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid (adipyl-7-ADCA) and adipyl-7-ACA, compounds that can be transformed into the economically relevant 7-ADCA and 7-ACA intermediates. Escherichia coli expression of the genes encoding D-amino acid oxidase and cephalosporin acylase activities has simplified the bioconversion of cephalosporin C into 7-ACA, eliminating the use of organic solvents. The genetic manipulation of antibiotic producing actinomycetes has allowed productivity increments and the development of new hybrid antibiotics. A legal framework has been developed for the confined manipulation of genetically modified organisms. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55: 216–226, 1997.
Machines, Equipment and Supplies (1932)

Abstract This is the initial issue of a regular department to be edited by Peter L. Agnew who is in charge of the teaching of office practice at New York University. The wide experience and many contacts Mr. Agnew has made with the office machine field should make this department especially worth while. No teacher of business can afford to neglect the many developments in this field.
Context-based search for 3D models (2010)

Large corpora of 3D models, such as Google 3D Warehouse, are now becoming available on the web. It is possible to search these databases using a keyword search. This makes it possible for designers to easily include existing content into new scenes. In this paper, we describe a method for context-based search of 3D scenes. We first downloaded a large set of scene graphs from Google 3D Warehouse. These scene graphs were segmented into individual objects. We also extracted tags from the names of the models. Given the object shape, tags, and spatial relationship between pairs of objects, we can predict the strength of a relationship between a candidate model and an existing object in the scene. Using this function, we can perform context-based queries. The user specifies a region in the scene they are modeling using a 3D bounding box, and the system returns a list of related objects. We show that context-based queries perform better than keyword queries alone, and that without any keywords our algorithm still returns a relevant set of models.
Birefringence measurement of fiber-optic devices (1981)

A spectrometer-polarimeter is described for the measurement of the wavelength-dependent general birefringence of single-mode optical fibers and fiber-optic devices. The polarizer rotates, the analyzer is stepped, and a Fourier transform yields the principal axes and retardation. The Poincaré representation of polarization is used throughout.
Developing an integrated end-to-end TeraGrid climate modeling environment (2011)

The Community Earth System Model (CESM) is a widely used community model for studying the climate system on the Earth. The CESM model is both data and computationally intensive, making it difficult for users to set up and run CESM simulations using local resources. In this paper, we describe an integrated climate modeling environment that supports CESM simulations on the TeraGrid, comprehensive model metadata description, and automatic archival of model data and metadata for easy community access. This system builds upon and integrates several existing efforts -- the Purdue CCSM modeling portal, the Earth System Grid, the Earth System Modeling Framework, and the Earth System Curator. We present the design and implementation of our prototype system as well as an end-to-end usage scenario which is broken down into three workflows: model execution, data publishing, and metadata collection/publishing. The system will be used to support research and education on climate systems. We describe our plan and early efforts to engage users and obtain their feedback.

A Steady-State Analysis of Candidate Towing Cables for a Deep-Towed Geophysical Array System (1979)

Abstract : The relative performance of two candidate towing cables for the proposed Deep-Towed Geophysical Array System is examined. A preliminary design of this ship-towed system is presented. It includes a description of the candidate towing cables and a towed body, which is composed of an instrumented fish and a long, nearly neutrally buoyant seismic streamer. Using a two- dimensional steady-state analysis, towing cable geometry and tensions are predicted for the body depths specified and for a series of towing speeds. Results of the analysis are presented graphically and shown not only the effects of body depth and towing speed, but the effects of cable drag coefficients and body downforce as well. These results are then used in conjunction with constraints on cable length and design tension to predict maximum towing speeds. Although based on a particular design, the information contained in this report provides useful guidance to further assist in the engineering development of the overall system.
Surgical Correction and Reconstruction of the Nipple-Areola Complex: Current Review of Techniques (2010)

Nipple malformations are common congenital or acquired conditions that can have tremendous cosmetic, psychological, breast-feeding, sexual, and hygienic ramifications. Ideal reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) requires symmetry in position, size, shape, texture, pigmentation, and permanent projection, and although many technical descriptions of NAC reconstruction exist in the medical literature, there are insufficient data presented to accurately compare outcomes. The current article comprises a thorough review of the literature, exploring the techniques described for NAC reconstruction, comparing reported outcomes and complications, and providing an evidence-based approach to NAC reconstruction. The findings of the review suggest that evidence regarding surgical correction of nipple deformity and complete NAC reconstruction is lacking, and loss of nipple projection over time is a pervasive problem common to all flap techniques. A combination of a single pedicle local flap with tattooing for complete NAC reconstruction is currently the most supported method; however, data concerning which type of reconstruction is best suited to immediate versus delayed and type of breast mound remain to be examined.
Design and implementation of CMOS rail-to-rail operational amplifiers (2007)

The paper presents the design and implementation of six operational amplifiers with rail-to-rail input and output capability. The study characterizes several rail-to-rail input and output stages and the dependence of the op-amp’s operation on different design parameters to formulate a standard design methodology that can serve as a guide for future researches and projects in the area of the rail-to-rail amplifiers. The report shows the effects of the rail-to-rail stages on the op-amp’s input common-mode range and output voltage swing range. The op-amps are implemented in 0.25um CMOS process and the simulation results achieve specifications such as gain, bandwidth, offset voltages and common-mode rejection ratio comparable with commercially available circuits.
The Origin of High Thermal Conductivity and Ultralow Thermal Expansion in Copper–Graphite Composites (2015)

We developed a nanocomposite with highly aligned graphite platelets in a copper matrix. Spark plasma sintering ensured an excellent copper-graphite interface for transmitting heat and stress. The resulting composite has superior thermal conductivity (500 W m(-1) K(-1), 140% of copper), which is in excellent agreement with modeling based on the effective medium approximation. The thermal expansion perpendicular to the graphite platelets drops dramatically from ∼20 ppm K(-1) for graphite and copper separately to 2 ppm K(-1) for the combined structure. We show that this originates from the layered, highly anisotropic structure of graphite combined with residual stress under ambient conditions, that is, strain-engineering of the thermal expansion. Combining excellent thermal conductivity with ultralow thermal expansion results in ideal materials for heat sinks and other devices for thermal management.
Microprocessor Implementation of High-Speed Data Modems (1977)

This paper describes the application of a commercially available microprocessor (Intel 3000 or Signetics 3000) to a flexible data transmitter and data receiver for high-speed data modems. For the transmitter a quadrature modulation scheme is chosen; the receiver is based on phase-shift compensation techniques and coherent demodulation with an externally derived digital carrier. For the realization with the given microprocessor it has been necessary to adapt the way of executing the various operations (especially the multiplications for the digital filtering) to the available computational capabilities. The resulting microprocessor implementations are also suitable for application in the current medium-speed synchronous data transmission systems.
Solution Properties of Water-Soluble “Smart” Poly(N-acryloyl-N′-ethyl piperazine-co-methyl methacrylate) (2012)

Water-soluble copolymers of N-acryloyl-N′-ethylpiperazine (AcrNEP) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) were synthesized to high conversion by free-radical solution polymerization. The composition of the copolymers was determined using Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR). Copolymers containing AcrNEP content above 44 mol% were readily soluble in water and exhibited the critical solution temperature behavior. The copolymers were strongly responsive to changes in pH of the external medium due to the presence of tertiary amine functions that could be protonated at low pH. The influence of various factors such as copolymer composition, pH, temperature, salt and surfactant concentration on the LCST of the copolymers were systematically studied. The intrinsic viscosity of the copolymers in dimethyl formamide decreased with increase in temperature due to a decrease in thermodynamic affinity between polymer chains and solvent molecules. The viscosity behavior of the copolymers in sodium chloride solution was similar to that of classical polyelectrolytes and hydrophobically modified polyacrylate systems.

Diversity in Pathogenicity to Tobacco and in Elicitin Production among Isolates of <i>Phytophthora parasitica</i> (1994)

Abstract The pathogenicity to tobacco of a large set of Phytophthora parasitica isolates has been assessed using several procedures: root inoculation of young plants, leaf inoculation on detached disks and stem inoculation of decapitated plants, with or without healing. Analysing various aspects of the plantpathogen interaction with this array of tests led to the discrimination between three groups of isolates. In the isolates from hosts other than tobacco, none was truly pathogenic to tobacco, and all but one produced parasiticein, a proteinaceous elicitor of the elicitin family which induces a hypersensitive‐like response in tobacco. Isolates producing parasiticein in vitro induced necrotic fleks on the leaves upon inoculation of roots orof, freshly wounded stems. Most tobacco isolates, including all the highly virulent ones, were characterized by a lack of elicitin production. However, those collected in Australia and Zimbabwe differed in that they exhibited reduced virulence, induced leaf, necrotic flecks and produced parasiticein. The incidence of elicitin production on virulence and the significance of two types of tobacco‐pathogenic strains for tobacco pathology are discussed.

Game of Norms: <scp>P</scp>anama, the International Community, and Indigenous Rights (2014)

As it has sought to be recognized as a developed nation with equitable human rights, the government of Panama has been an active player in international discussion of indigenous rights. The indigenous people of P anama continue to face serious challenges. Our research examines the N gäbe B uglé because they are the largest and most politically active indigenous groups in P anama. Almost half of the indigenous people live on semiautonomous reservations (comarcas). Although some may hail Panama's creation of comarcas as a milestone for indigenous rights, norms are only partially effective in this case. The influence of key stakeholders can influence how norms are carried out. In Panama, the government alternates between attempting to constrain civil society and giving in to demands when the protests can no longer be ignored. The P anamanian government has shown little respect for indigenous rights in its battle over natural resources located on the comarcas; moreover, the indigenous do not enjoy the same rights and privileges as those P anamanians living outside of the comarcas.
