Successful Preliminary Walking Experiments on a Transtibial Amputee Fitted with a Powered Prosthesis (2009)

This paper presents the results of preliminary walking experiments on a transtibial amputee wearing a powered prosthesis. The prosthesis prototype serves as a proof-of-concept implementation for investigating the potential of pleated pneumatic artificial muscles to power a transtibial prosthesis. The device is equipped with pleated pneumatic artificial muscles, and tethered to a laboratory pressure source. The prosthesis is capable of providing the amputee with 100% of the required push-off torque and it can adapt its joint stiffness to the walking speed. This study supports the hypothesis that a powered transtibial prosthesis with adaptable stiffness might be beneficial to the amputee.
Adaptive routing for dynamic applications in massively parallel architectures (1995)

Routers in a dynamic environment must efficiently deliver messages without knowledge of an application's process allocation. We've developed an adaptive routing system for a completely dynamic environment. Our system proposes two different strategies, depending on the application's communication patterns. In the first solution, the Hot-Spot Avoiding (HSA) algorithm, each message separately finds the route toward the destination. Even messages exchanged between the same couple of processes follow different, possibly nonminimal, paths. The HSA algorithm uses neighborhood information to choose the node to which the message is forwarded. It limits the number of hops in the source-destination path by reducing the occurrence of loops in it. The second algorithm, Virtual Path (VP), is tailored to long-lasting entities that cooperate intensively by exchanging messages. It achieves efficiency by finding a path at the beginning and following that path for several messages. For performance's sake, this algorithm partially renounces the HSA algorithm's adaptiveness.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Expression of the apoptosis-related genes BCL-2 and BAD in human breast carcinoma and their associated relationship with chemosensitivity (2010)

The expression of BCL-2 and BAD can be used as prognosis factors of breast cancer. Detection of the BCL-2 protein expression level, particularly, combined with the detection of the expression of BCL-2 and BAD as well as ER and PR were helpful in confirming the prognosis of breast carcinoma. The combined detection of BCL-2 and BAD may be markers for predicting the responses to anticancer drugs.
6-Methylsulfinylhexyl Isothiocyanate and Its Homologues as Food-originated Compounds with Antibacterial Activity against<i>Escherichia coli</i>and<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (1998)

Cruciferae plants, banana and coriander each showed antibacterial activity. The highest activity among the food-stuffs tested was found in the stems of wasabi. An ethereal extract from wasabi stems had potent antibacterial activity and we isolated the active compound from the extract. Instrumental analysis identified the compound as 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate. Some homologues of 6-methylsulfinylhexyl isothiocyanate were also active against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Isolation of oligomers of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid from the eye of the catfish (1974)

The reflecting material of the tapetum lucidum of the sea catfish (Arius felis) was chromatographed on Sephadex LH-20 in methanol-dimethyl sulphoxide-formic acid. Two components were present: one, showing an absorption maximum at 330nm, was tapetal pigment; the other, at 257nm, was an associated nucleoside. The tapetal pigment was extracted in methanol-HCl and isolated by adsorption chromatography on Sephadex LH-20. It yielded a methoxy methyl ester on treatment with diazomethane, and permanganate oxidation gave pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid. From the information provided by u.v. and i.r. spectra of the pigment and its methoxy methyl ester, from elemental analyses and from the oxidation products, we suggest that the tapetal pigment is derived from oxidative coupling of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid. A molecular-weight determination and chromatography of the methoxy methyl ester indicate that the pigment is a mixture of oligomers, among which the tetramers probably predominate. We consider that the monomers are joined mainly by C-C linkages at positions 4 and 7. A synthetic pigment having spectral properties nearly identical with those of the natural pigment was prepared by enzymic oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid with mushroom tyrosinase. The identity of the tapetal pigment with the synthetic pigment was further confirmed by comparing u.v. and i.r. spectra of their methoxy methyl esters. Formation of the tapetal pigment from tyrosine and relationships of the tapetal pigment to melanin are discussed.
Practical Design Guidelines for the Development of High-Precision Roll-to-Roll Slot-Die Coating Equipment and the Process (2016)

This paper proposes practical design guidelines for roll-to-roll (R2R) slot-die coating equipment with a precision mechanism enabling high-accuracy coating performance. The equipment is developed for specially fabricating organic photovoltaic devices. An R2R transportation module (capable of unwinding, in-feeding, out-feeding, and rewinding), a slot-die coating module, a far-infrared drying module, and a cleanliness control module are incorporated into the equipment. When used to apply an organic solution, the developed equipment can provide an operating tension of 2.3%-11.3%, a coating velocity of 2-7 m/min, a coating thickness of 28-95 nm, a uniformity of 8%-23%, and a roughness of 2.86-7.71 nm. A review of this equipment on the basis of theoretical and experimental approaches is included in the detailed equipment specifications and design guidelines for R2R slot-die coating machines.
Enhancement of the helical content and stability induced in a linear oligopeptide by an <b><i>i, i</i>+</b>4 intramolecularly double stapled, overlapping, bicyclic [31, 22, 5]‐(<i>E</i>)ene motif (2013)

ABSTRACT Two consecutive i, i +4 intramolecular, side chain‐to‐side chain, macrocyclizations of different type carried out on a preformed, partially helical peptide result in a largely predominant, double stapled, overlapping, bicyclic [31,22,5]‐(E)ene motif. A detailed ECD and NMR conformational study revealed a significant enhancement of the original helical content and stability, accompanied by an increase of the α‐helix amount over that of the 3 10 ‐helix. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Videos, photographs, and patient consent (1998)

A video showing real surgical operations was about to be sold through high street shops during the closing months of 1996. The BMA, GMC (General Medical Council), and the Institute of Medical Illustrators were quick to condemn this commercial exploitation of sensitive and confidential material. Media coverage was generally critical.1 A temporary injunction stopped any sales of the video, and a subsequent court order permanently prevented its distribution. Although the film's producer claimed that the surgeons concerned had given their permission for the video footage to be used, it emerged that many of the patients had not.

It is common practice to illustrate medical books with photographs of patients. In how many such cases have the patients given valid consent for publication? The advent of digital imaging has allowed photographs and video recordings to be stored, accessed, and distributed around the world with ease. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for medical images. Does valid consent for the use of a photograph in book publication cover the use of the same picture in electronic publishing? In most cases we doubt whether there is sufficient documentation to find out for what uses the patients originally gave consent.

#### Summary points

• The internet and electronic publishing are powerful tools for the dissemination of medical information and have created a demand for medical images

• Consent should be requested from patients for all medical photography and for the subsequent use of their images whether or not they can be identified by the picture

• Specific consent should be obtained if an image will be used in electronic publishing and we describe a new consent procedure that covers such use of pictures

• Review of this procedure after 4 months shows that 85% of patients continue to give consent for publication of their image despite …
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) based customized Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) for distribution automation system (2008)

This paper presents the development of a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) based remote terminal unit (RTU) for customer side distribution automation system (DAS). It is to apply automation technique for operating and controlling low voltage (LV) down stream of 415/240 V. The SCADA system developed provides fault isolation operation, monitoring and controlling functions for the operators and data collection for future analysis. An embedded Ethernet controller is used as RTU to act as converter for human machine interface (HMI) and to interact with digital input and output modules. RTU is the master and digital input and output modules are the slaves. RTU will initiate the transaction with the digital input and output modules. Two proprietary software systems are used are to develop algorithm for the controller and to develop HMI for monitoring and controlling functions for the operator.
An Empirical Study of Leading Measures of Dependence (2015)

In exploratory data analysis, we are often interested in identifying promising pairwise associations for further analysis while filtering out weaker, less interesting ones. This can be accomplished by computing a measure of dependence on all variable pairs and examining the highest-scoring pairs, provided the measure of dependence used assigns similar scores to equally noisy relationships of different types. This property, called equitability, is formalized in Reshef et al. [2015b]. In addition to equitability, measures of dependence can also be assessed by the power of their corresponding independence tests as well as their runtime. Here we present extensive empirical evaluation of the equitability, power against independence, and runtime of several leading measures of dependence. These include two statistics introduced in Reshef et al. [2015a]: MICe, which has equitability as its primary goal, and TICe, which has power against independence as its goal. Regarding equitability, our analysis finds that MICe is the most equitable method on functional relationships in most of the settings we considered, although mutual information estimation proves the most equitable at large sample sizes in some specific settings. Regarding power against independence, we find that TICe, along with Heller and Gorfine's S^DDP, is the state of the art on the relationships we tested. Our analyses also show a trade-off between power against independence and equitability consistent with the theory in Reshef et al. [2015b]. In terms of runtime, MICe and TICe are significantly faster than many other measures of dependence tested, and computing either one makes computing the other trivial. This suggests that a fast and useful strategy for achieving a combination of power against independence and equitability may be to filter relationships by TICe and then to examine the MICe of only the significant ones.
Tuning the Basicity of Ionic Liquids for Equimolar CO<sub>2</sub> Capture (2011)

What a catch! Basic ionic liquids (ILs) based on a phosphonium hydroxide derivative can be tuned for CO2 capture by varying the weak proton donors, which have different pKa values. The stability, absorption capacity, and absorption enthalpy of the ILs could be easily tuned: the best IL for CO2 capture has good stability (>300 °C), energy saving (ca. 56 kJ mol−1), and equimolar absorption capability.
A co-design modeling approach for computer network systems (2007)

Co-design modeling is considered key toward handling the complexity and scale of network systems. The ability to separately specify the software and hardware aspects of computer network systems offers new capabilities beyond what is supported in modeling frameworks and tools such as NS-2 and OPNET. The DEVS/DOC simulation environment supports logical co-design specification based on the distributed object computing (DOC) abstract model. To overcome DEVS/DOC's lack of support for visual and persistent modeling, this paper presents SESM/DOC, a novel approach, which is based on the scaleable entity structure modeler (SESM), a component-based modeling framework. This approach supports logical, visual and persistent modeling. Modelers can develop software and hardware models separately and systematically integrate them to specify a family of computer network system designs. This paper details the SESM/DOC co-design modeling approach with the help of a search engine system example, and presents a discussion for future research directions.
Electron Affinities of Silicon Hydrides:  SiH<i><sub>n</sub></i> (<i>n</i> = 0−4) and Si<sub>2</sub>H<i><sub>n</sub></i> (<i>n</i> = 0−6) (2000)

The molecular structures and electron affinities of the SiHn/SiHn- (n = 1−4) and Si2Hn/Si2Hn- (n = 0−6) molecules, as well as the silicon atom, have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and hybrid Hartree−Fock/density functional theory. Specifically, four different types of electron affinities are reported in this work: the adiabatic electron affinity (EAad), zero-point corrected EAad (EAzero), the vertical electron affinity (EAvert), and vertical detachment energy (VDE). The basis set used in this work is of double-ζ plus polarization quality with additional s- and p-type diffuse functions, and is denoted as DZP++. Of the six different density functionals used in this work, the BHLYP functional predicted the best molecular structures, and the B3LYP functional predicted the best electron affinities. When compared to the available six experimental electron affinities, the B3LYP functional has an average absolute error of just 0.06 eV. We predict the unknown electron affinities for Si2H2 (dibridged), Si2H3, Si2H4 (disilene), and Si2H5 (disilyl radical) to be 0.45, 2.21, 1.34, and 1.85 eV, respectively. These predictions assume that the (unknown) molecular structure of each anion is analogous to the known structure of the corresponding neutral molecule. The most interesting aspect of the present research is that for Si2H2- and Si2H4-, the lowest energy structures are qualitatively different from those of the neutrals. For Si2H2- the disilavinylidene structure H2SiSi-, is predicted to lie 24 kcal/mol below the dibridged or “butterfly” anion. For Si2H4- the silylsilylene anion H3SiSiH-, is predicted to lie 3 kcal/mol below the disilene anion structure H2SiSiH2-. The zero-point corrected adiabatic electron affinities of disilavinylidene, silylsilylidyne, and silylsilylene are 1.87, 1.01, and 1.71 eV, respectively. The saturated closed shell systems SiH4 and Si2H6 do not have conventional electron affinities.
Conducting Fabrics as a Shield Against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) (1998)

Development of a downhole tool measuring real-time concentration of ionic tracers and pH in geothermal reservoirs (2014)

For enhanced or Engineered Geothermal Systems (EGS) geothermal brine is pumped to the surface via the production wells, the heat extracted to turn a turbine to generate electricity, and the spent brine re-injected via injection wells back underground. If designed properly, the subsurface rock formations will lead this water back to the extraction well as heated brine. Proper monitoring of these geothermal reservoirs is essential for developing and maintaining the necessary level of productivity of the field. Chemical tracers are commonly used to characterize the fracture network and determine the connectivity between the injection and production wells. Currently, most tracer experiments involve injecting the tracer at the injection well, manually collecting liquid samples at the wellhead of the production well, and sending the samples off for laboratory analysis. While this method provides accurate tracer concentration data at very low levels of detection, it does not provide information regarding the location of the fractures which were conducting the tracer between wellbores. Sandia is developing a high-temperature electrochemical sensor capable of measuring tracer concentrations and pH downhole on a wireline tool. The goal of this effort is to collect real-time pH and ionic tracer concentration data at temperatures up to 225 °C and pressures up to 3000 psi. In this paper, a prototype electrochemical sensor and the initial data obtained will be presented detailing the measurement of iodide tracer concentrations at high temperature and pressure in a newly developed laboratory scale autoclave.
Size and structure of the genome of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (1976)

The genome of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus consists of two segments of dsRNA, in equimolar amounts, with molecular weights of 2.5 X 10(6) and 2.3 X 10(6) daltons, as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography. The viral RNA was resistant to ribonuclease, and in sucrose gradient it co-sedimented at 14S with RNase resistant RNA from virus infected cells. Upon denaturation in 98% formamide, the viral genome sedi-mented at 24S in formamide sucrose gradient and became sensitive to RNase. Denatured 24S viral RNA did revert to its undenatured 14S form upon recentrifugation in aquaeous sucrose gradient (0.1 M NaCL), but co-sedimented with the denatured large size class of reovirus 25S RNA. The same results were obtained if the native viral RNA was pre-treated with ribonuclease before denaturation, indicating the absence of exposed single strainded regions in the viral genome. Since infectious pancreatic necrosis virus contains only two dsRNA segments it does not belong to the family Reoviridae and may represent a new group of viruses.

Copper Mediates Dityrosine Cross-Linking of Alzheimer's Amyloid-β (2003)

We have previously reported that amyloid Abeta, the major component of senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD), binds Cu with high affinity via histidine and tyrosine residues [Atwood, C. S., et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 12817-12826; Atwood, C. S., et al. (2000) J. Neurochem. 75, 1219-1233] and produces H(2)O(2) by catalyzing the reduction of Cu(II) or Fe(III) [Huang, X., et al. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 7609-7616; Huang, X., et al. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 37111-37116]. Incubation with Cu induces the SDS-resistant oligomerization of Abeta [Atwood, C. S., et al. (2000) J. Neurochem. 75, 1219-1233], a feature characteristic of neurotoxic soluble Abeta extracted from the AD brain. Since residues coordinating Cu are most vulnerable to oxidation, we investigated whether modifications of these residues were responsible for Abeta cross-linking. SDS-resistant oligomerization of Abeta caused by incubation with Cu was found to induce a fluorescence signal characteristic of tyrosine cross-linking. Using ESI-MS and a dityrosine specific antibody, we confirmed that Cu(II) (at concentrations lower than that associated with amyloid plaques) induces the generation of dityrosine-cross-linked, SDS-resistant oligomers of human, but not rat, Abeta peptides. The addition of H2O2 strongly promoted Cu-induced dityrosine cross-linking of Abeta1-28, Abeta1-40, and Abeta1-42, suggesting that the oxidative coupling is initiated by interaction of H2O2 with a Cu(II) tyrosinate. The dityrosine modification is significant since it is highly resistant to proteolysis and is known to play a role in increasing structural strength. Given the elevated concentration of Cu in senile plaques, our results suggest that Cu interactions with Abeta could be responsible for causing the covalent cross-linking of Abeta in these structures.
From consent to dissent: Chomsky and the media teacher (1993)

Achbar and Wintonick's documentary on Noam Chomsky and the Media, Manufacturing Consent, has already attracted a good deal of attention throughout Australia. Here in Brisbane it has been standing room only at the alternative venue, The Resistance Centre. In some senses the success of Manufacturing Consentis not so surprising because these are desperate times and sources of hope for change for the better are hard to come by. Everywhere in the mass media we are assured that we live in the epoch of the politics of TINA - there is no alternative. But as unemployment grows and misery spreads people seek for the forbidden alternative and it is to the seekers for an alternative and better world that Achbar and Wintonick's documentary is addressed.
