RNA-Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles for Enhanced Growth, Immunostimulation and Disease Resistance in Fish (2014)

Exogenous nucleotide supplementation during times of rapid growth and stress is preferred because de novo synthesis is insufficient and energetically a costly process. To overcome inefficient utilization of dietary nucleotides due to intestinal cell repulsion and dependency on pH, an efficient controlled delivery system based on chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) was developed. The effects of these (0.2% and 0.4%) RNA-loaded chitosan NPs (Chitosan: RNA ratio 2:1), 0.4% bare RNA, and 0.8% chitosan NPs on productive efficiency (growth rate, feed conversion and protein efficiency ratio), body composition, organo-somatic indices, haemato-biochemical and immune responses (WBC count, phagocytic activity, serum lysozyme, serum total protein and albumin : globulin ratio) and survival of Labeo rohita fish fingerlings, following challenge with pathogenic bacteria were evaluated. Dietary chitosan NPs were found not to affect productive efficiency, but improved (P < 0.01) immunity by increasing WBC and phagocytic activity. Dietary RNA significantly improved (P < 0.01) productive efficiency, immunity and survival, which was further potentiated (P < 0.01) by its nanosized delivery by loading onto chitosan NPs. Blood glucose, haemoglobin, RBC count, serum uric acid and whole body composition were unaffected (P > 0.05) by dietary treatments. RNA-loaded chitosan NPs increased hepato- and viscerosomatic indices. The activity of metabolic enzymes (intestinal and liver alkaline phosphatase, alanine- and aspartateamino transferases, lactate- and malate-dehydrogeneases) corresponded with the performance of the respective diets. As growth, immunity and disease resistance in fish given dietary nano-sized RNA were significantly higher than in those given bare RNA or chitosan alone, and as nanoformulation reduced the usage of individual components by half, the use of RNA-loaded chitosan NPs can be favoured in the feed/food industry over chitosan and RNA alone.
Topography from Topology: Photoinduced Surface Features Generated in Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks (2013)

Films subsumed with topological defects are transformed into complex, topographical surface features with light irradiation of azobenzene-functionalized liquid crystal polymer networks (azo-LCNs). Using a specially designed optical setup and photoalignment materials, azo-LCN films containing either singular or multiple defects with strengths ranging from |½| to as much as |10| are examined. The local order of an azo-LCN material for a given defect strength dictates a complex, mechanical response observed as topographical surface features.
Role of leukemia inhibitory factor during mammalian development. (1996)

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a cytokine that exhibits proliferative, survival and differentiation activities on a wide range of cell types. A role for LIF in embryonic development is suggested by: i) its ability to stimulate the proliferation of embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro, while maintaining their totipotency and ii) by both its maternal and embryonic expression at the time of blastocyst implantation. Functional studies of LIF and its receptor during mouse embryogenesis have been performed using the techniques of targeted gene replacement and transgene expression in ES cells to produce transgenic mice bearing either loss- or gain-of-function mutations for LIF activity. Whereas, the phenotype observed in the LIF gain-of-function mutant mice supports a role for LIF in early embryogenesis, the loss-of-function phenotypes point to more specialized functions for LIF in development and further reveal the redundant feature of the LIF cytokine/receptor family.

New photoluminescence acylhydrazidate-coordinated complexes (2011)

Under the hydrothermal conditions, five new acylhydrazidate-containing compounds [Cd(EPDH)(2)(H(2)O)] 1, [Cd(MPDH)(2)] 2, [Zn(MPDH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O 3, [Pb(2)(ODPTH)(2)(phen)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] 4 and [Cd(2)(APTH)(4)(phen)(2)]·2H(2)O 5 (EPDH = 5-ethylpyridine-2,3-dicarboxylhydrazidate, MPDH = 6-methylpyridine-2,3-dicarboxylhydrazidate, ODPTH = 4,4'-oxydiphthalhydrazidate, APTH = 3-amiophthalhydrazidate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were luckily obtained. Note that MPDH, EPDH and ODPTH were derived from the hydrothermal in situ acylation reactions between organic polycarboxylic acids and N(2)H(4)·H(2)O, whereas APTH originated from the hydrothermal in situ reduction reaction of NPTH (NPTH = 3-nitrophthalhydrazidate) in the presence of N(2)H(4)·H(2)O. The photoluminescence analysis indicates that all of the title compounds are fluorescent materials with maximum emissions at 530 nm for 1, 540 nm for 2, 517 nm for 3, 413 nm for 4 and 563 nm for 5, respectively. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the excited electronic states of compound 3 indicate that the emission is associated with the ligands, corresponding to the charge transfer from the π orbital of the acylhydrazidate ring to the π* orbital of the pyridine ring.
Routing Protocols for GeoNet: A Survey (2012)

The last decade has witnessed the rapid development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which aim to improve transportation activities in terms of safety and efficiency. Intervehicle communication (IVC) is an important component of the ITS architecture that enables vehicles to communicate with other vehicles and roadside infrastructure. The GeoNet Project will bring IVC one step further by enabling transparent Internet Protocol connectivity between vehicles and the infrastructure. Integrating the IVC with existing infrastructure over Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) will also enable the use of multimedia services. Although GeoNet concluded its activity, several topics in the final specification were left open ended, including the definition of the car-to-car transport layer, multiradio support, congestion control, IPv6 encoding of GeoDestination, mapping of IPv6 addresses to GeoNet addresses, and GeoRouting protocol. This paper provides a survey of the existing GeoRouting protocols and evaluates the compatibility of these protocols with the GeoNet architecture.

An Experimental Test of the Seismic Behaviors of Antispila Nysaefoliella (Lepidoptera: Heliozelidae) to Vibrational Stimuli (2012)

This study tested the sensitivity of the tupelo leafminer, Antispila nysaefoliella, to vibrational cues and whether their unique behaviors, first reported by Low (2008), may be elicited by the frequencies matching those of parasitic wasps. In the tick behavior, a larva ticks its abdomen back and forth rhythmically, and in the rattle behavior, the larva rattles its abdomen in short rapid pulses. To test the specificity of these behaviors to vibrational cues, computer-generated signals of pure tone frequencies ranging from 1–6 kHz were played to the entire leaf of solitary larvae through airborne signal transmission. The experiment demonstrated that the larvae of A. nysaefoliella responded to all frequencies with wriggling movements, but ticked only in response to the frequencies that matched those generated by parasitoid probing activity. Rattling behavior was rarely elicited.
Plant-based vaccines against viruses (2014)

Plant-made or “biofarmed” viral vaccines are some of the earliest products of the technology of plant molecular farming, and remain some of the brightest prospects for the success of this field. Proofs of principle and of efficacy exist for many candidate viral veterinary vaccines; the use of plant-made viral antigens and of monoclonal antibodies for therapy of animal and even human viral disease is also well established. This review explores some of the more prominent recent advances in the biofarming of viral vaccines and therapies, including the recent use of ZMapp for Ebolavirus infection, and explores some possible future applications of the technology.
A High-Speed Fault Detection, Identification, and Isolation Method for a Last Mile Radial LVDC Distribution Network (2018)

The day-by-day increase in digital loads draws attention towards the need for an efficient and compatible distribution network. An LVDC distribution network has the capability to fulfill such digital load demands. However, the major challenge of an LVDC distribution network is its vulnerability during a fault. The need for a high-speed fault detection method is inevitable before it can be widely adopted. This paper proposes a new fault detection method which extracts the features of the current during a fault. The proposed fault detection method uses the merits of overcurrent, the first and second derivative of current, and signal processing techniques. Three different features are extracted from a time domain current signal through a sliding window. The extracted features are based upon the root squared zero, second, and fourth order moments. The features are then set with individual thresholds to discriminate low-, high-, and very high-resistance faults. Furthermore, a fault is located through the superimposed power flow. Moreover, this study proposes a new method based on the vector sum of positive and negative pole currents to identify the faulty pole. The proposed scheme is verified by using a modified IEEE 13 node distribution network, which is implemented in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed fault detection and identification method. The simulation results also confirm that a fault having a resistance of 1 m Ω is detected and interrupted within 250 μ s for the test system used in this study.
Cytokine profiles in the joint depend on pathology, but are different between synovial fluid, cartilage tissue and cultured chondrocytes (2014)

Several pro-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic and pro-repair cytokines were elevated in joints with symptomatic cartilage defects and/or osteoarthritis, although different cytokines were elevated in synovial fluid compared to tissue or cells. Hence a clear molecular profile was evident dependent on disease status of the joint, which however changed in composition depending on the biological sample analysed. These alterations did not affect in vitro tissue formation with these chondrocytes, as this was at least as effective or even better compared to healthy chondrocytes.

Towards efficient planning for real world partially observable domains (2007)

My research goal is to build large-scale intelligent systems (both single- and multi-agent) that reason with uncertainty in complex, real-world environments. I foresee an integration of such systems in many critical facets of human life ranging from intelligent assistants in hospitals to offices, from rescue agents in large scale disaster response to sensor agents tracking weather phenomena in earth observing sensor webs, and others. In my thesis, I have taken steps towards achieving this goal in the context of systems that operate in partially observable domains that also have transitional (non-deterministic outcomes to actions) uncertainty. Given this uncertainty, Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (POMDPs) and Distributed POMDPs present themselves as natural choices for modeling these domains.
Unfortunately, the significant computational complexity involved in solving POMDPs (PSPACE-Complete) and Distributed POMDPs (NEXP-Complete) is a key obstacle. Due to this significant computational complexity, existing approaches that provide exact solutions do not scale, while approximate solutions do not provide any usable guarantees on quality. My thesis addresses these issues using the following key ideas: The first is exploiting structure in the domain. Utilizing the structure present in the dynamics of the domain or the interactions between the agents allows improved efficiency without sacrificing on the quality of the solution. The second is direct approximation in the value space. This allows for calculated approximations at each step of the algorithm, which in turn allows us to provide usable quality guarantees; such quality guarantees may be specified in advance. In contrast, the existing approaches approximate in the belief space leading to an approximation in the value space (indirect approximation in value space), thus making it difficult to compute functional bounds on approximations. In fact, these key ideas allow for the efficient computation of optimal and quality bounded solutions to complex, large-scale problems, that were not in the purview of existing algorithms.

A spatio-temporal logic for image sequence coding and retrieval (2003)

The problem of retrieving image sequences from databases is of main importance in the context of advanced multimedia applications. In this paper, an original formalism is proposed for the description of the changes that occur in image sequences. The concepts of temporal logic are extended so as to comprise a unified framework for handling sequences of images.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A conceptual framework for business intelligence based on activities monitoring systems (2007)

Most enterprises have spent an enormous amount of money and time, managing information about their business elements. Such information is often scattered in disparate legacy, operational and enterprise information systems, appointing the aggregation of valuable information and decision-making support quite difficult. Business Intelligence (BI) and their associated processes and tools are helping enterprises to solve this problem. This paper presents the principles and challenges of BI domain and evaluates its current approaches. The limitations of the above approaches will provide the basis for the design and development of a framework that pursues real time insight to business information, as well as, instantaneous awareness and appropriate response to critical business events across the entire enterprise. The proposed framework is based on Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) systems paradigm and attempts to create a unified enterprise-reporting environment. It was applied in a large Northern Greek manufacturing company in the last six months.
Autonomous real-time model building for optical motion capture (2005)

We present a robust framework for real-time processing of 3D motion capture data. It autonomously analyzes the input data to build a model of the observed subjects, and is expected to perform in situations where the observed features are unstable or frequently occluded. We have implemented the method and presently rely on a marker based motion capture system to provide unlabeled 3D coordinates of non-occluded markers. However, we hope this to be a step towards using regular video camera systems with feature detection to perform autonomous markerless motion capture.
T lymphoreceptopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus. (1980)

Decreases in numbers and functions of SLE T lymphocytes as a form of lymphoreceptopathy were investigated using T lymphocytes and sera obtained from both SLE patients and healthy subjects with respect to the effects of suppressor T cells and Con A induced suppressor factor against antibody formation, changes in the membrane microviscosity and the ultrastructure of membrane associated particles (MAPs) of T lymphocytes. The lymphoreceptopathy of SLE T lymphocytes was induced by decreased microviscosity and abnormalities of distribution, size and density of MAPs on the T lymphocyte membrane which can be modulated by serum factors consisting mainly of IgG as T cell membrane binding antibody and partially of IgM as cytotoxic antibody.
Inhibiting cortisol response accelerates recovery from a photic phase shift (2004)

Jetlag results when a temporary loss of circadian entrainment alters phase relationships among internal rhythms and between an organism and the outside world. After a large shift in the light-dark (LD) cycle, rapid recovery of entrainment minimizes the negative effects of internal circadian disorganization. There is evidence in the existing literature for an activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after a photic phase shift, and it is possible that the degree of HPA-axis response is a determining factor of reentrainment time. This study utilized a diurnal rodent, Octodon degus, to test the prediction that the alteration of cortisol levels would affect the reentrainment rate of circadian locomotor rhythms. In experiment 1, we examined the effects of decreased cortisol (using metyrapone, an 11beta-hydroxylase inhibitor) on the rate of running-wheel rhythm recovery after a 6-h photic phase advance. Metyrapone treatment significantly shortened the length of time it took animals to entrain to the new LD cycle (11.5% acceleration). In experiment 2, we examined the effects of increased cortisol on the rate of reentrainment after a 6-h photic phase advance. Increasing plasma cortisol levels increased the number of days (8%) animals took to reentrain running-wheel activity rhythms, but this effect did not reach significance. A third experiment replicated the results of experiment 1 and also demonstrated that suppression of HPA activity via dexamethasone injection is capable of accelerating reentrainment rates by approximately 33%. These studies provide support for an interaction between the stress axis and circadian rhythms in determining the rate of recovery from a phase shift of the LD cycle.
Temporal Localization of Moments in Video Collections with Natural Language. (2019)

In this paper, we introduce the task of retrieving relevant video moments from a large corpus of untrimmed, unsegmented videos given a natural language query. Our task poses unique challenges as a system must efficiently identify both the relevant videos and localize the relevant moments in the videos. This task is in contrast to prior work that localizes relevant moments in a single video or searches a large collection of already-segmented videos. For our task, we introduce Clip Alignment with Language (CAL), a model that aligns features for a natural language query to a sequence of short video clips that compose a candidate moment in a video. Our approach goes beyond prior work that aggregates video features over a candidate moment by allowing for finer clip alignment. Moreover, our approach is amenable to efficient indexing of the resulting clip-level representations, which makes it suitable for moment localization in large video collections. We evaluate our approach on three recently proposed datasets for temporal localization of moments in video with natural language extended to our video corpus moment retrieval setting: DiDeMo, Charades-STA, and ActivityNet-captions. We show that our CAL model outperforms the recently proposed Moment Context Network (MCN) on all criteria across all datasets on our proposed task, obtaining an 8%-85% and 11%-47% boost for average recall and median rank, respectively, and achieves 5x faster retrieval and 8x smaller index size with a 500K video corpus.
