W-band high gain lens antenna for metrology and radar applications (2004)

A W-band high gain lens antenna has been realised and measured. A hyperbolic lens made in ECCOSTOCK 0005 is associated to an optimised modified circular horn related to a circular-to-rectangular waveguide transition in order to fit the WR-10 standard waveguide. The antenna provides more than 30 dBi gain between 75 and 110 GHz. It is competitive in several fields of applications: first, obstacle detection radar application (at 77 or 94 GHz), secondly metrology, for example, in order to measure radar cross-sections over the whole W-band with a single antenna.
<i>BAS1</i> : A gene regulating brassinosteroid levels and light responsiveness in <i>Arabidopsis</i> (1999)

The Arabidopsis bas1-D mutation suppresses the long hypocotyl phenotype caused by mutations in the photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB). The adult phenotype of bas1-D phyB-4 double mutants mimics that of brassinosteroid biosynthetic and response mutants. bas1-D phyB-4 has reduced levels of brassinosteroids and accumulates 26-hydroxybrassinolide in feeding experiments. The basis for the mutant phenotype is the enhanced expression of a cytochrome P450 (CYP72B1). bas1-D suppresses a phyB-null allele, but not a phyA-null mutation, and partially suppresses a cryptochrome-null mutation. Seedlings with reduced BAS1 expression are hyperresponsive to brassinosteroids in a light-dependent manner and display reduced sensitivity to light under a variety of conditions. Thus, BAS1 represents one of the control points between multiple photoreceptor systems and brassinosteroid signal transduction.
Effect of carpropamid on secondary infection by rice blast fungus (1999)

Carpropamid (WIN™, KTU 3616) provides good control of leaf and panicle blast by ‘one-shot’ nursery-box treatment. It inhibits melanin biosynthesis in appressorial cells of Pyricularia oryzae, making them hyaline. Penetration by infection hyphae from the hyaline appressoria into rice epidermal cells is substantially hindered. In addition, the spread of rice blast spores from primary lesions to the other parts of the plant leading to secondary infection is largely prevented when the plants are treated with carpropamid by spray or water surface application. Secondary infection was simulated in a glass chamber fitted with an ultrasonic humidifier. On treated plants, many blast spores formed in the lesions, but the number of air spora that were dispersed from the lesions decreased significantly. A similar suppression of the spore liberation was observed in vitro when lesions on rice leaf segments, or discs from Pyricularia cultures on oatmeal agar were treated with the chemical. Spores from treated lesions or from the cultures on oatmeal agar amended with the chemical germinated normally and produced well-melanized appressoria on cellophane membranes. In addition, the spores proved to be fully pathogenic towards rice seedlings, producing normal disease symptoms. These results strongly suggest that carpropamid reduces the secondary infection of rice by Pyricularia by specifically hindering spore liberation. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
Human mesenchymal stem cells are recruited to injured liver in a β1-integrin and CD44 dependent manner (2012)

hMSCs bind preferentially to injured liver. Rolling of hMSCs is regulated by CD29/VCAM-1, whereas CD29/CD44 interactions with VCAM-1, fibronectin, and hyaluronan on HSECs determine firm adhesion both in vitro and in vivo as demonstrated using a murine model of liver injury.
Using social network services as an input for a trust clustered: collaborative filtering recommendation system (2010)

In this paper we present a Recommendation system that uses the Social Network Services like Facebook Connect, OpenSocial etc. to get useful interest and friend interest data as an input for a Trust Clustering - Friends interest clustering applied on the results of a Collaborative filtering algorithm. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Collaborative filtering and Trust based Clustering and how our solution uses the advantages and solves the disadvantages by combining them.
State-Space System Identification with Identified Hankel Matrix (1998)

In state-space system identification theory, the Hankel matrix often appears prior to model realization. Traditionally, one identifies from input-output data the Markov parameters from which the Hankel matrix is built. This paper examines the strategy where the Hankel matrix itself is identified from input-output data. Various options are examined along this direction where the identification of the Hankel matrix can be carried out directly or indirectly. Advantages and drawbacks associated with each option are examined and discussed. Extensive evaluation both with simulated and experimental data indicates that the new approach is effective in detecting the “true” or effective order of the system, hence it is capable of producing relatively low-dimensional state-space model. The interactive matrix formulation plays a key role in the development of the proposed identification technique.
Interaction of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) with ferro‐ and ferricyanide anions (1985)

Abstract The interaction of poly(1,1‐dimethylpyrrolidinium‐3,4‐diylethylene chloride) [poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)] ( 1 ) with ferro‐ and ferricyanide anions was investigated by conductometric titration, viscometry, IR and Raman spectroscopy. It could be shown that the binding of ferro‐ and ferricyanide anions with 1 proceeds by means of an ionic mechanism and is accompanied by a spectral shift of the cyanide bands.
A live Pasteurella haemolytica vaccine efficacy trial. (1986)

A live Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 vaccine was used in an efficacy trial conducted on 100 lightweight feeder calves purchased from a Florida ranch. Forty-one calves were inoculated with the vaccine intradermally in the neck. Fifty-nine calves served as nonvaccinated controls. Fourteen days later, the calves were shipped to an order buyer in eastern Tennessee, where the calves were mixed with 60 local calves in a community sale barn for 72 hours. After 3 additional days, the calves were shipped to a research feedlot in Bushland, Tex. They remained in the feedlot for 56 days, and the test was concluded 76 days after vaccination. The P haemolytica vaccine had no significant effect on performance, morbidity, or mortality. There was no significant difference between the vaccinated and nonvaccinated calves in the number of times Pasteurella was isolated. The calves became seropositive to bovine viral diarrhea virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus during the 76-day experiment. All calves initially were seropositive to parainfluenza-3 virus. A virulent outbreak of IBR occurred 30 days after the calves arrived at the feedlot. Before the onset of IBR, the isolation of P haemolytica serotype 1 from nasal turbinates was rare (2 of 500 nasal swabs). After the IBR outbreak, P haemolytica serotype 1 was isolated from 40 of 92 calves.
Knowledge transfer for learning robot models via Local Procrustes Analysis (2015)

Learning of robot kinematic and dynamic models from data has attracted much interest recently as an alternative to manually defined models. However, the amount of data required to learn these models becomes large when the number of degrees of freedom increases and collecting it can be a time-intensive process. We employ transfer learning techniques in order to speed up learning of robot models, by using additional data obtained from other robots. We propose a method for approximating non-linear mappings between manifolds, which we call Local Procrustes Analysis (LPA), by adopting and extending the linear Procrustes Analysis method. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method offers an accurate transfer of data and significantly improves learning of the forward kinematics model. Furthermore, it allows learning a global mapping between two robots that can be used to successfully transfer trajectories.
Chemical composition and physical properties of the related zeolites offretite and erionite (1969)

New chemical analyses as well as optical and X-ray data show that offretite and erionite are closely related hexagonal zeolites. Offretite is alkaline earth rich and has a Si/ (Al + Fe3+) ratio of 2.48, whereas erionite is generally alkali-rich and has a Si/(Al+Fea+) ratio of 2.92 to 3.74. Ferric iron may substitute for aluminum in erionites from sedimentary deposits. The optic sign is negative for offretite and positive for erionite. Offretite characteristical ly has indices of refraction that are higher than those for erionite. A decrease in the indices of refraction and the cell volume of erionite can be correlated with an increase in the Si/ (Al + Fea+) ratio.
Child mental health: promoting prevention (1999)

■ The increasing demand for Child Mental Health Services in Britain is producing pressure on managers and clinicians to find different ways to heip. ■ Government targets for improving quality and reducing waiting times for assessment and treatment are stretching resources. ■ This study, at a local community child and family consultation clinic, investigated the characteristics of the increased demand, expectations and experiences of clients. ■ The results highlight the need for better preventative services, improved multi- agency liaison, and less reliance on short- term treatments. ■ Evaluation in Child Mental Health Services could be enhanced by gaining the views of children and adolescents with independent interviewers.
Dual leucine zipper kinase (MAP3K12) modulators: a patent review (2010–2015) (2016)

Several methods are proposed to modulate DLK activity, some of them very experimental and not suitable for easy application in patients. ATP competitive kinase inhibitors exert high affinity, but for the majority, no information about their selectivity is available. To date, two inhibitors have been tested in mice. Given the controversial findings that DLK is required for neurodegeneration and for axon regeneration, more research is needed to further elucidate the regulation and the function of this kinase in diverse organs/tissues and under physiological and pathological conditions.
Finite Element Modeling of the Side Impact Dummy (SID) (1993)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A new numerical model of the side impact dummy (SID) was developed based on the DYNA3D finite element code. The model includes all of the material and structural details of SID that influence its performance in crash testing and can be run on an engineering work station in a reasonable time. This paper describes the development of the finite element model and compares model predictions of acceleration and displacements with measurements made in SID calibration experiments. Preliminary parameter studies with the model show the influence of material properties and design on the measurements made with the SID instrument.</div>
W-band Millimeter Wave Artificial Magnetic Conductor realization by grounded frequency Selective Surfaces (2007)

A W-band millimeter wave Artificial Magnetic C onductor (AMC) is realized by using a grounded Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) arra y of different dimensions of resonant slots. Unlike normal conductors, this new surface does not support propagating surface waves, and it reflects electromagnetic waves with no phase reversal. Geometrically it consists of slots on a metallic layer on top of metal backed Roger 4003C
[Metabolic syndrome in men of 35-65 years old from rural district of Poltava region and possibility of the prophylactic therapy with atorvastatine]. (2006)

Observation of 250 men aged 35-65 years (middle age was 52 +/- 2 years) showed that prevalence of MS was 27%. Atorvastatine administration at dose of 10-20 mg per day for patients with ischemic heart disease and chronic obstructive lung disease associated with MS reduced during month administration the level of cholesterol, triglycerides, beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteids and increased the level of alpha-cholesterol in blood of these patients. Addition of atorvastatine to a common treatment patients with chronic obstructive lung disease improved as well the clinical picture of systemic inflammation process.
Theoretical parametric study of the relative advantages of winglets and wing-tip extensions (1977)

It was found that for identical increases in bending moment, a winglet provides a greater gain in induced efficiency than a tip extension. Winglet toe-in angle allows design trades between efficiency and root moment. A winglet showed the greatest benefit when the wing loads were heavy near the tip. Washout diminished the benefit of either tip modification, and the gain in induced efficiency became a function of lift coefficient; heavy wing loadings obtained the greatest benefit from a winglet, and low speed performance was enhanced even more than cruise performance. Both induced efficiency and bending moment increased with winglet length and outward cant. The benefit of a winglet relative to a tip extension was greatest for a nearly vertical winglet. Root bending moment was proportional to the minimum weight of bending material required in the wing; it is a valid index of the impact of tip modifications on a new wing design.
Separation of concerns for hardware components of embedded systems in BIP (2015)

Memory-based concerns such as Design-for-test, logic built in self test, memory technology mapping and clock division concerns traditionally happen at circuit-level and require team-months of verification time. We present a novel hardware concern-based methodology for embedded system frameworks that enables automatic separation of memory based hardware concerns at high-level where verification is easier. The methodology relies on a conservative memory inference transformation that separates sequential from combinational elements. We developed a tool that automatically performs the transformation for BIP, an open source embedded systems design framework. It takes entry BIP model code and outputs BIP model code where memory elements are separated from the rest of the logic. We evaluated our method with three BIP case studies. Our results show that our method enabled designers to identify and fix injected defects at the BIP level, where they are more comfortable, in reasonable time without the need to dive into the circuitry that is highly coupled with concerns.
A Novel High Precision SAR Focussing Algorithm Based On Chirp Scaling (2005)

Azimuth compression of synthetic aperture radar data is an inherently two-dimensional problem because the SAR reference function migrates through several range resolution cells. This effect is referred to as 'range cell migration'. For perfect focussing of the image the fact has to be accounted for that the amount of range cell migration varies with range. In classical range-Doppler SAR processors as well as with two-dimensional frequency domain processors a space-variant interpolation is required in order to compensate for this effect. In general, interpolation will degrade the final image quality and is computation time consuming. The proposed new algorithm avoids any interpolation step. It is essential for the algorithm that the SAR data are transformed to the range-Doppler domain prior to range compression. In this domain each range line is premultiplied with a particular phase function which is designed to perfectly straighten the range cell migration trajectories even for an arbitrarily wide swath by the subsequent range compression step. This new method for range migration correction is the key element of a new SAR processing algorithm described in detail. The proposed method is inherently phase preserving. Its focussing quality is neither limited by high squint nor by wide swath. The implementation is simple because only multiplications and Fourier transforms are required. It is essential for the new algorithm that the transmitted pulse is a linearly frequency modulated chirp of the form exp{jn*k*z2}.
Polyamines and their derivatives as modulators in growth and differentiation. (1990)

The polyamines and their derivatives are essential for life in eukaryotic and most prokaryotic cells, but their exact role in preserving cell function is not clear. These polyamines provide endogenous cations and thus participate in regulation of the intracellular pH; in addition, polyamine derivatives modulate cell growth and differentiation. The naturally occurring monoacetyl derivatives can induce increased activity of ornithine decarboxylase, the first enzyme in polyamine synthesis, and thus produce positive feedback to their production. The diacetyl derivatives of putrescine and of the synthetic analogue, 1,6-diaminohexane, induce differentiation and inhibit growth in many types of cells in vitro. In addition, they inhibit the proliferative and secretory response of normal B lymphocytes to B-cell mitogens and reduce production of antibodies in vitro. They also inhibit the proliferation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells (a B-lymphocyte leukemia). The parent polyamines are post-translational modifiers of proteins, and hypusine, a derivative of spermidine, is a covalently bound constituent of the eukaryotic protein synthetic initiation factor, eIF-4D. Although these various actions do not at present fall into a coherent pattern, they clearly indicate that polyamines and their derivatives play an important part in modulating cell proliferation and differentiation.
The velocity of rise of distorted gas bubbles in a liquid of small viscosity (1965)

The terminal velocity of rise of small, distorted gas bubbles in a liquid of small viscosity is calculated. Small viscosity means that the dimensionless group gμ 4 /ρ T 3 where g is the acceleration of gravity, μ the viscosity, ρ the density and T the surface tension, is less than 10 −8 . It is assumed—and the numerical accuracy of the assumption is discussed—that the distorted bubbles are oblate ellipsoids of revolution. The drag coefficient is found by extending the theory given recently (Moore 1963) for the boundary layer on a spherical gas bubble. The results are in reasonable quantitative agreement with the experimental data.
Evaluation of Ion-Selective Membranes for Real-Time Soil Nutrient Sensing (2013)

A key to developing a real time, automated soil nutrient sensor depends on the ability to effectivelyextract soil nutrients from a soil sample and precisely detect them in a very short time period. An ion-selectivefield effect transistor (ISFET) chip has proven to be a good candidate for use in real-time soil nutrient sensingbecause of its rapid response and low sample volume. This paper describes the evaluation of nitrate ionselectivemembranes and the investigation of the interaction between the ion-selective membranes and soilextracting solutions. The response characteristics of the membranes and their suitability for use for real-timesoil nutrient sensing were investigated through evaluation of their sensitivity and selectivity using 16 ionselective electrodes (ISEs) in a computer-controlled system. All membranes showed an approximately linearNernstian response when nitrate concentrations were above 10-3 M, irrespective of extracting solution type. Atlow nitrate concentrations, below 10-4 M, both the extracting solution and ligand types significantly affected thesensitivity and selectivity of each membrane. A TDDA-NPOE membrane showed greater sensitivity to nitrate than did the MTDA-NPOE and MTDA-TOTM membranes. In addition, the selectivity of the TDDA membranewas superior to that of the MTDA membranes when bicarbonate, chloride, and bromide were considered as theinterfering ions.
Hindering auxiliary anchors are potent modulators of peptide binding and selection by I-A<sup>k</sup>class II molecules (2000)

Selection of particular antigen-derived peptides by class II MHC molecules determines the population of complexes represented on the antigen-presenting cell surface and available for T cell receptor engagement. This discriminating selection process results from unique interactions between the spectrum of peptides generated during antigen processing and the MHC molecules. Here, we examined the selection of peptides by the class II MHC, I-A(k). Our results indicate that although peptide primary anchors are key in MHC binding, auxiliary anchors are a powerful regulatory component in the selection of peptides by I-A(k). Study of the segments surrounding the dominant hen egg white lysozome(48-61) epitope demonstrates that auxiliary anchors also are involved in determining the binding register of I-A(k) along an extended peptide. In addition, we found that unique combinations of auxiliary anchors can act in concert to modulate the binding of peptides to I-A(k).
Development of lipophilic cations as therapies for disorders due to mitochondrial dysfunction (2001)

Mitochondrial dysfunction causes or exacerbates a number of diseases. These include genetic disorders such as Friedreich's ataxia where the primary lesion is a defect in a nuclear gene and those diseases caused by mutations to mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial damage also contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes and ischaemia-reperfusion injury. Drug therapies to prevent or alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction use redox active compounds, anti-oxidants or mitochondrial co-factors, however, their effectiveness is limited. A promising approach to increase the selectivity and potency of these compounds is to modify them so that they concentrate within mitochondria. This can be done by incorporating a lipophilic cation which causes the molecules to concentrate several hundred-fold in mitochondria, driven by the membrane potential across the inner membrane. As lipophilic cations cross biological membranes easily, they can be delivered to mitochondria of the heart, brain and skeletal muscle, the organs most affected by mitochondrial damage. Mitochondria-targeted lipophilic cations may lead to improved therapies for diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction.
