Temperature Evolution of Spin Relaxation in a<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>NiFe</mml:mi><mml:mo>/</mml:mo><mml:mi>Cu</mml:mi></mml:math>Lateral Spin Valve (2008)

Temperature dependence of spin relaxation process in a Cu wire has been studied by means of nonlocal spin-valve measurements. The spin-diffusion length of the Cu wire is found to take maximum at the characteristic temperature, below which the spin-diffusion length is reduced. The mechanism of the reduction can be explained by considering the spin-flip scattering due to the oxidized surface of the Cu wire. The thickness dependence of the characteristic temperature supports the interpretation with the surface oxidation.
Low-molecular-weight materials on corona-treated polypropylene (1989)

—ESCA, wettability measurements, SEM, weight-loss determinations, and an ink adhesion test were used to characterize low-molecular-weight oxidized materials (LMWOM) formed during the corona-discharge treatment of polypropylene film. Water-soluble LMWOM is readily formed by scission processes occurring during corona treatment. The presence of water-soluble LMWOM complicates the interpretation of wettability-based measurements of corona effectiveness. Surface roughening on corona-treated polypropylene is caused by the interaction of LMWOM and water in a high-relative-humidity environment. LMWOM does not necessarily form a weak boundary layer that hinders subsequent adhesion of ink to the corona-treated film.
Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 Promotes the Proliferation and Invasion of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Cells (2010)

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is the catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that includes noncatalytic subunits suppressor of zeste 12 (SUZ12) and embryonic ectoderm development (EED). When present in PRC2, EZH2 catalyzes trimethylation on lysine 27 residue of histone H3 (H3K27Me3), resulting in epigenetic silencing of gene expression. Here, we investigated the expression and function of EZH2 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). When compared with primary human ovarian surface epithelial (pHOSE) cells, EZH2, SUZ12, and EED were expressed at higher levels in all 8 human EOC cell lines tested. Consistently, H3K27Me3 was also overexpressed in human EOC cell lines compared with pHOSE cells. EZH2 was significantly overexpressed in primary human EOCs (n = 134) when compared with normal ovarian surface epithelium (n = 46; P < 0.001). EZH2 expression positively correlated with expression of Ki67 (P < 0.001; a marker of cell proliferation) and tumor grade (P = 0.034) but not tumor stage (P = 0.908) in EOC. There was no correlation of EZH2 expression with overall (P = 0.3) or disease-free survival (P = 0.2) in high-grade serous histotype EOC patients (n = 98). Knockdown of EZH2 expression reduced the level of H3K27Me3 and suppressed the growth of human EOC cells both in vitro and in vivo in xenograft models. EZH2 knockdown induced apoptosis of human EOC cells. Finally, we showed that EZH2 knockdown suppressed the invasion of human EOC cells. Together, these data demonstrate that EZH2 is frequently overexpressed in human EOC cells and its overexpression promotes the proliferation and invasion of human EOC cells, suggesting that EZH2 is a potential target for developing EOC therapeutics.
Physical and Functional Interaction between Myeloid Cell Leukemia 1 Protein (MCL1) and Fortilin (2002)

Myeloid cell leukemia 1 protein (MCL1) is an anti-apoptotic protein that is structurally related to Bcl-2. Unlike other Bcl-2 family proteins that are constitutively expressed, MCL1 is inducibly expressed in cells that are recently exposed to growth and differentiation stimuli. Here, we report the identification of fortilin as a novel MCL1-interacting protein by screening of a yeast two-hybrid library with MCL1 as bait. Fortilin specifically interacted with MCL1 both in vitro and in vivo. The intracellular localization of fortilin was predominantly nuclear and identical to that of MCL1, as shown by immunostaining and confocal microscopy analysis. Fortilin, like MCL1, was rapidly inducible in serum-stimulated human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells. Although the depletion of intracellular fortilin by small interfering RNA (siRNA) against fortilin (siRNA-fortilin) did not affect intracellular MCL1 level, the depletion of intracellular MCL1 by siRNA-MCL1 was associated with the significant reduction of the fortilin protein level, without affecting the fortilin transcript numbers. In addition, a pulse-chase experiment showed that the depletion of MCL1 by siRNA-MCL1 was associated with the rapid degradation of fortilin protein, which was found quite stable in the presence of MCL1. Furthermore, the half-life of fortilin(R21A), a point mutant of fortilin lacking the binding to MCL1, was significantly shorter than that of wild-type fortilin as shown by a pulse-chase experiment. These data suggest that MCL1, in addition to being an anti-apoptotic molecule, serves as a chaperone of fortilin, binding and stabilizing fortilin in vivo. Taken together with our previous observation that fortilin overexpression prevents cells from undergoing apoptosis (Li, F., Zhang, D., and Fujise, K. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 47542-47549), it is likely that MCL1, an anti-apoptotic protein inducible by growth and differentiation stimuli, stabilizes another anti-apoptotic protein fortilin maximizing the prosurvival environment in cells.

An antibacterial assay of aqueous extract of garlic against anaerobic/microaerophilic and aerobic bacteria (2000)

Both the minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentration (expressed in terms of thiosulphinate concentration) of an aqueous extract of garlic was determined against nine species of bacteria. Helicobacter pylori proved to be extremely sensitive to garlic extract, whilst Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium perfringens, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus all were moderately sensitive to the garlic extract treatment. Leuconostoc mesenteroides was used as a known resistant control to the action of garlic extracts. Both S. aureus and a methicillin-resistant strain of S. aureus were found to be equally inhibited by garlic.

Design and Synthesis of Novel α<sub>1a</sub> Adrenoceptor-Selective Dihydropyridine Antagonists for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (1998)

We report the synthesis and evaluation of novel alpha1a adrenoceptor subtype-selective antagonists. Systematic modification of the lipophilic 4,4-diphenylpiperidinyl moiety of the dihydropyridine derivatives 1 and 2 provided several highly selective and potent alpha1a antagonists. From this series, we identified the 4-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-phenylpiperidine analogue SNAP 5540 (-) [(-)-63] for further characterization. When examined in an isolated human prostate tissue assay, this compound was found to have a Ki of 2.8 nM, in agreement with the cloned human receptor binding data (Ki = 2.42 nM). Further evaluation of the compound in isolated dog prostate tissue showed a Ki of 3.6 nM and confirmed it to be a potent antagonist (Kb = 1.6 nM). In vivo, this compound effectively blocked the phenylephrine-stimulated increase in intraurethral pressure (IUP) in mongrel dogs, at doses which did not significantly affect the arterial pressure (diastolic blood pressure, DBP), with a DBP Kb/IUP Kb ratio of 16. In addition, (-)-63 also showed greater than 40 000-fold selectivity over the rat L-type calcium channel and 200-fold selectivity over several G protein-coupled receptors, including histamine and serotonin subtypes. These findings prove that alpha1a adrenoceptor-subtype selective antagonists such as (-)-63 may be developed as uroselective agents for an improved treatment of BPH over nonselective alpha1 antagonists such as prazosin and terazosin, with fewer side effects.
Dichroic Thin Films of Silver Nanoparticle Chain Arrays on Facetted Alumina Templates (2002)

We show that controlled growth on ordered facetted alumina substrates can be used as nanoscale templates to produce regular arrays of silver nanoparticle chains. The interactions between the aligned nanoparticles induce strong dichroism in the absorption spectra. The resonance plasmon wavelengths are shifted to 455 and 550 nm for transverse and longitudinal polarization, respectively. Simulations show that the slightly prolate shape of the nanoparticles also contributes to the resonance splitting. Such nanostructured thin films can be used as dichroic devices.

Dose‐dependent protective effect of selenium in rat model of Parkinson's disease: neurobehavioral and neurochemical evidences (2003)

Normal cellular metabolism produces oxidants that are neutralized within cells by antioxidant enzymes and other antioxidants. An imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant has been postulated to lead the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease. In this study, we examined whether selenium, an antioxidant, can prevent or slowdown neuronal injury in a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) model of Parkinsonism. Rats were pre-treated with sodium selenite (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mg/kg body weight) for 7 days. On day 8, 2 micro L 6-OHDA (12.5 micro g in 0.2% ascorbic acid in normal saline) was infused in the right striatum. Two weeks after 6-OHDA infusion, rats were tested for neurobehavioral activity, and were killed after 3 weeks of 6-OHDA infusion for the estimation of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione reductase, glutathione content, lipid peroxidation, and dopamine and its metabolites. Selenium was found to be successful in upregulating the antioxidant status and lowering the dopamine loss, and functional recovery returned close to the baseline dose-dependently. This study revealed that selenium, which is an essential part of our diet, may be helpful in slowing down the progression of neurodegeneration in parkinsonism.
Inkjet printing narrow fine Ag lines on surface modified polymeric films (2013)

In the paper, we have demonstrated a simple but effective method to inkjet print fine Ag conductive lines with improved resolution on polymeric films. This is achieved by forming an ultra-flat polymeric film and modifying its surface energy. As a result, narrow Ag lines (< 50 µm) and short gaps (∼10 µm) were successfully achieved using optimized printing parameters. Meanwhile these formed Ag lines show fine morphology, smooth surface and high electrical conductivity. The improved resolution is attributed to the reduced spreading of ink droplets on the surface modified substrate. This method shows the potential of directly producing high-resolution electrodes for printed electronics applications.
AUTOMATIC TEXTURE RECONSTRUCTION OF 3D CITY MODEL FROM OBLIQUE IMAGES (2016)

Abstract. In recent years, the photorealistic 3D city models are increasingly important in various geospatial applications related to virtual city tourism, 3D GIS, urban planning, real-estate management. Besides the acquisition of high-precision 3D geometric data, texture reconstruction is also a crucial step for generating high-quality and visually realistic 3D models. However, most of the texture reconstruction approaches are probably leading to texture fragmentation and memory inefficiency. In this paper, we introduce an automatic framework of texture reconstruction to generate textures from oblique images for photorealistic visualization. Our approach include three major steps as follows: mesh parameterization, texture atlas generation and texture blending. Firstly, mesh parameterization procedure referring to mesh segmentation and mesh unfolding is performed to reduce geometric distortion in the process of mapping 2D texture to 3D model. Secondly, in the texture atlas generation step, the texture of each segmented region in texture domain is reconstructed from all visible images with exterior orientation and interior orientation parameters. Thirdly, to avoid color discontinuities at boundaries between texture regions, the final texture map is generated by blending texture maps from several corresponding images. We evaluated our texture reconstruction framework on a dataset of a city. The resulting mesh model can get textured by created texture without resampling. Experiment results show that our method can effectively mitigate the occurrence of texture fragmentation. It is demonstrated that the proposed framework is effective and useful for automatic texture reconstruction of 3D city model.
An overview of seismic azimuth for towed streamers (2010)

Conventional 3D streamer seismic processing generally ignores any azimuth component in the data. We are used to the convenience of acquiring overlapping shot gathers in straight lines, as we can sort the data into common midpoint gathers, and then exploit the power of stack in processing to attenuate random noise. The higher the fold, the more random noise we attenuate. Conventional 3D surveys are acquired using “swath”or “racetrack” vessel shooting, wherein the survey has a single line orientation (or “survey azimuth”), and a long, narrow spread of streamers are towed by a single vessel. Apart from the front of the streamers (short source-receiver offsets), most source-receiver combinations have a relatively common azimuth (the angle between their particular vector and the survey orientation, Figure 1). Thus, the subsurface geology is illuminated only from one particular shooting direction. We assume that most coherent noise types are well behaved and we can remove them in processing. We assume that the target illumination is acceptably uniform, and we can produce clean seismic images. Most of the time these assumptions are in the ballpark of truth and our resultant seismic data allow us to achieve our exploration and appraisal objectives.
Detection of building collapse from the shadow lengths in optical satellite images (2011)

ABSTRACT: Visual interpretation of optical satellite images is widely used to detect building damages after recent earthquakes in the world. However, since optical satellites images are acquired from the vertical direction, they can observe only roofs of buildings. Building damages such as mid-story collapse are often overlooked because the upper surfaces of buildings do not change so much. This paper proposes the method to detect this kind of building collapses from the change in building heights, estimated from the shadow lengths measured before and after an earthquake. Boumerdes city, Algeria, is selected as a case study site where many buildings were collapsed in the 2003 Boumerdes Earthquake. Two QuickBird images, taken before and two days after the earthquake, were employed for analysis. Base on the measurement of shadow lengths, some mid-story collapses were successfully detected, which could not be detected by visual interpretation. Although a limitation still remains in measuring shadow lengths in densely build-up or highly vegetated areas, the proposed method can help to reduce omission errors, which may be associated in visual damage interpretation of vertical satellite/aerial images.
Phylogenetics of Bauhinia Subgenus Phanera (Leguminosae:Caesalpinioideae) Based on ITS Sequences of Nuclear Ribosomal DNA (2003)

The pantropical legume genus Bauhinia is currently subdivided into four subgenera Subgenus Phanera, with ca 150 species, is the largest. A parsimony analysis was conducted on ITS sequence data from 38 species. With representatives from all four subgenera. and species sampled from nine of 11 sections of subgen Phanera, and including two Cercis species as the outgroup The well-resolved strict consensus tree suggests that subgen Phanera and the monotypic subgen Barklya together form a monophyletic group In the Phanera-Barklya dade, the African (sect Tylo5erna), American (sect. Canlotretu5), and Australasian (subgen Barklya. Subgen Phanera sect Lysiphyllnrn) species are the first (paraphyletic) lineages. while the Asian taxa (except species of sect Lysiphyllurn) form a monophyletic group The ITS tree also revealed that sects Phanera and La5ioberna are not monophyletic Monophyletic groups supported by the phylogenetic analysis include ser Fulvae and ser Colyrnbo5ae of sect Phanera, sect Tubicalyx, and the Asian-Australasian sect Lysiphyllurn.
Chemistry and Pharmacology of Artocarpin: An Isoprenyl Flavone from Artocarpus Species (2018)

Artocarpin is an isoprenyl flavone from Artocarpus species (Moraceae).
Trees of the genus comprise about 50 species, and are native to tropical
and subtropical Asia. First isolated from the root of A. heterophyllus (jackfruit),
artocarpin has been reported in other Artocarpus species such as A.
altilis, A. chempeden, A. kemando and A. maingayi. Recently, artocarpin
has also been isolated from A. incisus, A. chama, A. lowii, A. anisophyllus,
A. scortechinii, A. odoratissimus and A. hirsutus. It has a molecular formula
of C26H28O6 and a 5,7,2’,4’-tetrahydroxylated structure with three benzene
rings. Ring B has a 2’,4’-resorcinol moiety and there is a methoxy group at
C-7 of ring A. At C-3 and C-6 of artocarpin are the isoprenyl substituents.
Some data on the content of artocarpin in extracts and fractions of different
solvents and species of Artocarpus have been presented. Other flavones
prenylated at C-3 and C-6 include artelasticin, artelastofuran, cudraflavone
C and norartocarpin. The inhibition of tyrosinase and melanogenesis are
two skin-whitening activities of artocarpin. It protects UVB-induced skin
damage. Besides its cosmeceutical activities of skin-whitening and photo
protection, artocarpin possesses other pharmacological properties such
as cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiandrogen,
antitubercular, antiplasmodial, neuraminidase inhibitory, termiticidal and
wound healing activities. In the conclusion, some research studies of interest
for the future have been proposed.
Isolation and description of carbazole-degrading bacteria (1996)

Carbazole is a nitrogen heterocyclic compound associated with fossil fuels and their products. Enrichment cultures were established to isolate bacteria able to degrade carbazole and a plate assay was developed to select carbazole-degrading microorganisms from the enrichments. Three different bacterial isolates capable of mineralizing carbazole were obtained. No intermediates of carbazole degradation were detected. The bacteria had a limited substrate specificity; all used benzoate for growth but were unable to utilize the analogues of carbazole, fluorene, or dibenzothiophene.
Preparation of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 films by low pressure MOCVD using liquid solution sources (1993)

A hybrid low pressure MOCVD process is described for reproducible preparation of superconducting thin films of YBa2Cu3O7. The process uses a single solution source of Y, Ba, and Cu [MATH]-diketonates dissolved in suitable organic solvents. This liquid precursor is atomized using an ultrasonic aerosol generator and transported as small droplets ( ≈ l μm) into a CVD reactor where solvent and precursor are first evaporated before deposition takes place at low pressure on heated substrates in a cold wall geometry. This process allows, with stable evaporation rates for all three precursors, to grow in-situ superconducting films with constant composition from film to film. Thin and thick films with high critical temperatures and critical currents have been obtained (Tc>80K, Jc>l04 A/cm2 at 77K in self field) which are highly c-axis oriented. Experimental details of this new process are described and the effects of different process parameters are studied in order to improve the quality of the deposited layers.
Prevalence of transmitted drug resistance associated mutations and HIV-1 subtypes in new HIV-1 diagnoses, U.S.–2006 (2010)

We presented a clade B-optimized mutation list for evaluating surveillance of TDRM in the United States and analyzed the largest collection of sequence data obtained from individuals newly diagnosed with HIV. The prevalence of TDRM in persons newly diagnosed with HIV is higher than in previous U.S. studies; however, this is not necessarily a significant trend. Continued reporting of sequence data for public health purposes from all sources will improve representativeness and accuracy in analyzing trends in transmitted drug resistance and genetic diversity.
