Using appliance signatures for monitoring residential loads at meter panel level (1991)

The author presents an initial approach to identifying electrical household appliances strictly by analyzing variations in current-voltage signals at the meter panel level. The study shows that local measurement of variations in active and reactive power is sufficient in most cases to identify an appliance. This measurement must be synchronized with the events. This necessitates a numerical measurement device which can monitor the signal and isolate the times when variations occur. In a second stage, a sorting algorithm identifies the appliance that has operated. An attempt is made to show the feasibility of this device. Test findings secured on site using a test prototype are presented.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Immunohistochemical Evidence that Growth Hormone-Releasing Factor (GRF) Neurons Contain an Amidated Peptide Derived from Cleavage of the Carboxyl-Terminal End of the GRF Precursor (1986)

Antisera were raised against synthetic replicates of the carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) fragment of the precursor to human GH-releasing factor (GRF) (pre-proGRF) whose structure was predicted from the complementary DNA cloned from a pancreatic tumor. These antisera were used along with antisera to human GRF itself to search for the presence of related molecules in the human hypothalamus, with an immunohistochemical approach. The antisera to pre-proGRF that recognize specifically the C-terminal amidated form of pre-proGRF stain GRF neurons in their cell bodies, fibers, and nerve endings that are in contact with portal capillaries of the median eminence. Antisera against the nonamidated form of the molecule did not give any staining in the hypothalamus. These results strongly suggest that human hypothalamic GRF derives from a precursor immunologically related (and probably identical) to the tumorous one and that this precursor is cleaved inside GRF cell bodies to give, in addition to the GRF-44-NH2 a second amidated peptide, the C-terminal pre-proGRF that is transported distally to nerve endings and most probably coreleased with GRF into portal capillaries.
Patterns of Care for Adults With Newly Diagnosed Malignant Glioma (2005)

Reliance on magnetic resonance imaging, surgery, and radiation is generally accepted; however, relatively infrequent chemotherapy use may conflict with published literature, and frequent use of prophylactic antiepileptic medications contradicts established practice guidelines. Other practice patterns involving surgical adjuncts, prophylactic heparin, and antidepressants require further investigation to clarify appropriateness. Establishing further clinical guidelines may help reduce variability in practice patterns.
PqsA is required for the biosynthesis of 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ), a newly identified metabolite produced by <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> and <i>Burkholderia thailandensis</i> (2007)

A new metabolite, 2,4-dihydroxyquinoline (DHQ), was identified in cultures of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia thailandensis. We found that the biosynthesis of DHQ correlates with the presence of a functional PqsA, which is a product of the pqsABCDE operon responsible for the synthesis of 4-hydroxy-2-alkylquinolines (HAQs) in P. aeruginosa. However, DHQ is not a degradation product or precursor of HAQs. This finding sheds some light on the poorly understood biosynthesis pathway of HAQs, which includes important communication signals regulating the expression of virulence factors.
Violence detection in surveillance video using low-level features (2018)

It is very important to automatically detect violent behaviors in video surveillance scenarios, for instance, railway stations, gymnasiums and psychiatric centers. However, the previous detection methods usually extract descriptors around the spatiotemporal interesting points or extract statistic features in the motion regions, leading to limited abilities to effectively detect video-based violence activities. To address this issue, we propose a novel method to detect violence sequences. Firstly, the motion regions are segmented according to the distribution of optical flow fields. Secondly, in the motion regions, we propose to extract two kinds of low-level features to represent the appearance and dynamics for violent behaviors. The proposed low-level features are the Local Histogram of Oriented Gradient (LHOG) descriptor extracted from RGB images and the Local Histogram of Optical Flow (LHOF) descriptor extracted from optical flow images. Thirdly, the extracted features are coded using Bag of Words (BoW) model to eliminate redundant information and a specific-length vector is obtained for each video clip. At last, the video-level vectors are classified by Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experimental results on three challenging benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed detection approach is superior to the previous methods.
Stable resonators with increased fundamental mode volume for CO<sub>2</sub>laser oscillators (1971)

A method is described for designing a single mode CO2 laser cavity of high Fresnel number which oscillates in the fundamental transverse mode and a single longitudinal mode. A short, large bore cavity was constructed which oscillates in the TEM00 mode without the use of intracavity irises. The radii of curvature of the reflectors were designed using the Gaussian beam equations of Kogelnik and Li and an experimentally determined mode selection parameter.
High Subglass Transition Temperatures and Low Dielectric Constants of Polyimides Derived from 4,9-Bis(4-aminophenyl)diamantane (1998)

This work synthesizes new diamantane-based polyimides by reacting 4,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)diamantane (4) with various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. Poly(amic acid)s have high inherent viscosities of 0.74−1.36 dL/g. The polyimide 7d can be soluble in o-chlorophenol, chloroform, and THF. Their cast films have a tensile strength at break up to 127 MPa, elongation to break up to 4.8%, and an initial modulus up to 2.3 GPa. These films have low dielectric constants ranging from 2.53 to 2.72, in addition to low moisture absorptions less than 0.33%. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) reveals diamantane-based polyimides to have three relaxations over room temperature. The low-temperature subglass relaxations, ranging from 125 to 195 °C, are typical β relaxations for standard polyimides. Another high-temperature β1 subglass relaxation occurs at a substantially high temperature of approximately 300 °C. The characteristic of β1 relaxation is associated with a step decrease in G‘ and small transition peaks in tan δ and G‘‘. Their glass relaxations occur at extremely high temperature exceeding 500 °C. Their temperatures at a 5% weight loss ranges from 491 to 536 °C in air and from 518 to 566 °C in N2 atmosphere.
The Selection and Optimization of a Surfactant Package to Maximize Cleanup of a High-Density Fracturing Fluid (2010)

Abstract In the Gulf of Mexico, momentum is increasing for drilling and completing wells deeper than 25,000 ft and with bottomhole pressures exceeding 20,000 psi. High-density base fluids have become standard components of fracturing or frac-pack completions to achieve working pressures below 15,000 psi at surface due to equipment limitation. Stimulation designs for these deep, high-profile wells aim to achieve long fracture lengths using large treatment volumes. Cleanup and maximum recovery of the high-density fracturing fluid is a necessity to maximize the effective fracture length, and thereby the production potential after these treatments. Interfacial tension, contact angle and wettability are the key parameters to consider when choosing a surfactant package for maximizing fluid recovery. Historically, the surfactant packages that have been used in conventional fracturing fluids generally focused on water-wetting or non-wetting and lower surface tension results. This paper presents details of laboratory studies to optimize a surfactant package for high-density base fluids. Fluid recovery studies were done on a sand column along with the measurement of the contact angle and interfacial tension of high-density base fluid with various surfactants. Core flow tests were also performed to evaluate regain permeability and cleanup. The tests with optimized surfactant package resulted in more than 90% regain permeability with a high-density fracturing fluid system and correspond with the results from the fluid recovery sand column testing. Laboratory tests show that the synergetic effects of interfacial tension, contact angle and wettability together are more significant than any one individual parameter and that more surfactant is not always better. Selecting and optimizing a suitable and compatible surfactant package enhances the recovery and cleanup of a high-density fracturing fluid, which can result in highly conductive and longer effective fracture lengths.
Current topical and systemic approaches to treatment of rosacea (2009)

Rosacea is a common, often overlooked, chronic facial dermatosis characterized by intermittent periods of exacerbation and remission. Clinical subtypes and grading of the disease have been defined in the literature. On the basis of a genetic predisposition, there are several intrinsic and extrinsic factors possibly correlating with the phenotypic expression of the disease. Although rosacea cannot be cured, there are several recommended treatment strategies appropriate to control the corresponding symptoms/signs. In addition to adequate skin care, these include topical and systemic medications particularly suitable for the papulopustular subtype of rosacea with moderate to severe intensity. The most commonly used and most established therapeutic regimens are topical metronidazole and topical azelaic acid as well as oral doxycycline. Conventionally, 100-200 mg per day have been used. Today also a controlled release formulation is available, delivering 40 mg per day using non-antibiotic, anti-inflammatory activities of the drug. Anti-inflammatory dose doxycycline in particular allows for a safe and effective short- and long-term therapy of rosacea. Topical metronidazole and topical azelaic acid also appear to be safe and effective for short-term use. There are indications that a combined therapy of anti-inflammatory dose doxycycline and topical metronidazole could possibly have synergy effects. Further interesting therapy options for the short- and long-term therapy of rosacea could be low-dose minocycline and isotretinoin; however, too little data are available with regard to the effectiveness, safety, optimal dosage and appropriate length of treatment for these medications to draw final conclusions.
Lipase immobilized on a hydrophobic, microporous support for the hydrolysis of fats (1988)

Abstract Enzymatic hydrolysis of triglycerides has been studied as a low energy‐consuming alternative to the present steam (Colgate‐Emery) process. Cost analysis of the enzymatic process indicates that use of immobilized lipase compares favorably with the present steam process. This paper discusses the search for an adsorbent to use as the support material for the lipase. Hydrophobic microporous powders, membranes and fibers were found to give the best performance, as little of the lipase's activity was lost upon immobilization. Lipase immobilized on Accurel powder has been studied in various reactor configurations for the hydrolysis of triglycerides. Reactor designs studied include cocurrent and counter‐current fixed beds, continuous stirred tank reactors, and the diaphragm reactor. Productivities of the latter two reactor types were 1100 and 1700 kg fatty acid per kg immobilized lipase.
Arabinogalactan from Western Larch, Part II; A Reversible Order-Disorder Transition (1997)

Abstract At the molecular level, larch arabinogalactan (AG) fragments into subunits when exposed to mild alkali or heat. This process is accompanied by a large increase in NMR spectral resolution, especially for NMR signals associated with main-chain units, and by the disappearance of 1H NMR signals probably due to persistent hydrogen bonds. Analysis by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) shows that smaller AG species undergo the transition in preference to larger ones, and the transition can be reversed by drying from or freezing an aqueous solution of the “fragments” These observations indicate that the fragmentation is a dissociation of a molecular assembly accompanied by an order-disorder transition, analogous to the known triple helix → single-chain random coil transition of (1→6)-branched (1→3)-β-glucans. The small amount of uronic acid units in AG and the consequent ionexclusion effect in SEC provide a probe to study this transition, and results provide evidence in support of the concept that the transition involves dissociation of a triplex.
Dispersive measurements of superconducting qubit coherence with a fast latching readout (2006)

The ``quantronium'' is a superconducting qubit consisting of a split Cooper pair box in which a large tunnel junction is inserted. This circuit has a special bias point where the Larmor frequency is, to first order, insensitive to fluctuations in the bias parameters---the charge of the box island and the phase of the large junction. At this optimal working point, the state of the qubit can be determined by dispersive measurements that probe the second derivative of the state energy with respect to these bias parameters. We use the quantronium phase degree of freedom to perform a nonlinear, dispersive measurement of its inductive response using bifurcation amplification. This dispersive readout projects the state of the qubit in a few nanoseconds, and its latching property allows us to record the resulting information in a few hundred nanoseconds. We have measured, using this technique, Rabi oscillations and Ramsey fringes with an improved signal-to-noise ratio and contrast. The speed of this readout scheme also opens the door for a class of experiments that would characterize the relaxation processes associated with the measurement protocol.

This paper first analyzed the technical background and the realistic demand of the web-based system of product customization and simulation. And then, the overall system structure and the work process were proposed, analysis and statement of the essential technology was proposed. Based on the research, a web-based system of product customization and simulation was developed primarily in JSP, and a support system of web-based product customization and simulation was also implemented with C++Builder6.0. Finally, an example of vibrating road roller was validated in the system.
Efficient Energy Transfer from Peripheral Chromophores to the Self-Assembled Zinc Chlorin Rod Antenna:  A Bioinspired Light-Harvesting System to Bridge the “Green Gap” (2006)

An artificial light-harvesting rod aggregate based on zinc chlorin and covalently linked naphthalene bisimide chromophore has been realized by self-assembly. Efficient energy transfer (phiET >/= 0.99) takes place upon excitation at 620 nm from peripheral naphthalene bisimides to the zinc chlorin rod aggregate backbone. The appended naphthalene bisimide dyes improve the total LH efficiency of the rod aggregate by 26%. Thus, the present bioinspired antenna system is promising for application in nanodevices for the effective utilization of solar energy by bridging the "green gap".
The T Cell Receptor γ Chain Alternate Reading Frame Protein (TARP), a Prostate-specific Protein Localized in Mitochondria (2004)

We previously showed that mRNA encoding TARP (T cell receptor gamma chain alternate reading frame protein) is exclusively expressed in the prostate in males and is up-regulated by androgen in LNCaP cells, an androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cell line. We have now developed an anti-TARP monoclonal antibody named TP1, and show that TARP protein is up-regulated by androgen in both LNCaP and MDA-PCa-2b cells. We used TP1 to determine the subcellular localization of TARP by Western blotting following subcellular fractionation and immunocytochemistry. Both methods showed that TARP is localized in the mitochondria of LNCaP cells, MDA-PCa-2b cells, and PC-3 cells transfected with a TARP-expressing plasmid. We also transfected a plasmid encoding TARP fused to green fluorescent protein into LNCaP, MDA-Pca-2b, and PC-3 cells and confirmed its specific mitochondrial localization in living cells. Fractionation of mitochondria shows that TARP is located in the outer mitochondrial membrane. Immunohistochemistry using a human prostate cancer sample showed that TP1 reacted in a dot-like cytoplasmic pattern consistent with the presence of TARP in mitochondria. These data demonstrate that TARP is the first prostate-specific protein localizing in mitochondria and indicate that TARP, an androgen-regulated protein, may act on mitochondria to carry out its biological functions.
A lifetime-sensitive scheduling method (2002)

This paper presents a lifetime-sensitive scheduling method. By shortening lifetimes of variables in scheduling phase, it can lighten register pressure in register allocation phase, lessen spill codes and result in more efficient object codes. The preliminary experimental results show that this method is an effective scheduling method.

Optimizing High Harmonic Generation in Absorbing Gases: Model and Experiment (1999)

We study high-order harmonic generation in the general case of absorbing and dispersive atomic gas media. For ultrashort laser pulses, the harmonic conversion efficiency tends to a limit mainly imposed by the harmonic reabsorption in the gas. This limit, independent on the gas density, is the same for both the case of a loosely focused beam or a beam guided in a gas-filled hollow-core fiber. Under optimum conditions, we measured the highest conversion efficiency to date $(4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5})$ for the 15th harmonic generated in xenon using a 40 fs, 1.5 mJ, 800 nm pulse at a 1 kHz repetition rate.
Stimulation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase association with foca adhesion kinase by platelet-derived growth factor. (1994)

We have previously described the stable association of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) with phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) in NIH 3T3 cells. This interaction was stimulated by cell adhesion in vivo and by autophosphorylation of recombinant FAK in vitro. In this report, we show that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) could also specifically stimulate this association in vivo. This stimulation is independent of cell adhesion or the integrity of the cytoskeleton, suggesting potentially different mechanisms by which the cell surface PDGF receptor and integrins regulate PI3K:FAK associations. We also found that this increased association in response to PDGF occurred in the membrane fractions, consistent with the recruitment of PI3K to the cell surface by the activated PDGF receptor. These results provide a novel mechanism of cross-talk between the signaling pathways initiated by PDGF and that initiated by integrins and raise the intriguing possibility that FAK might participate in some of the cellular effects of the growth factors in modulating cell morphology and migration.
Regioselective and Stereospecific Copper-Catalyzed Aminoboration of Styrenes with Bis(pinacolato)diboron and <i>O</i>-Benzoyl-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dialkylhydroxylamines (2013)

A Cu-catalyzed regioselective and stereospecific aminoboration of styrenes with bis(pinacolato)diboron and O-benzoyl-N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines that delivers the corresponding β-aminoalkylboranes in good yields has been developed. The Cu catalysis enables introduction of both amine and boron moieties to C-C double bonds simultaneously in a syn fashion. Moreover, the use of a chiral biphosphine ligand, (S,S)-Me-Duphos, provides a catalytic enantioselective route to optically active β-aminoalkylboranes.

The Potato Story (2004)

The need for genetic improvements of American potato was recognized as a primary target for plant genetic engineering. As immediate needs, virus and insect resistance were recognized as important and attainable goals. Russet Burbank was selected as the recipient variety, because it is highly vulnerable to virus and insect production losses, and it is the predominant American variety. The development of resistance to the Colorado Potato Beetle and to potato leafroll virus were selected as priority goals, because these are the most economically important pests of potato in the United States and around the world. This article describes potato research and the struggles to develop commercial products, as well as the safety, initial acceptance, and final commercial failure of developed products. Opportunities for developing countries and subsistence farmers are emphasized.
