The physics of golf (2002)

An overview of the application of physics to the game of golf is given. The golf swing is modelled as a double pendulum. This model and its variations have been used extensively by researchers in determining the effect that various swing parameters have on clubhead speed. These results as well as examples of three-link models are discussed. Kinematic and kinetic measurements taken on the recorded downswings of golfers as well as force measurements are reviewed. These measurements highlight differences between the swings of skilled and unskilled golfers.
Effect of amiodarone on Kv1.4 channel C-type inactivation: comparison of its effects with those induced by propafenone and verapamil. (2008)

As the major component of I(to) (slow), Kv1.4 channel plays an important role in repolarization of cardiac myocytes. C-type inactivation is one of Kv1.4 inactivation and can be affected by open channel blockers. We used the two-electrode voltage clamp technique to observe the effect of amiodarone on Kv1.4 C-type inactivation and compare amiodarone's effects on Kv1.4 with propafenone and verapamil. Our data show that those three antiarrhythmic drugs blocked fKv1.4 delta N (N-terminal deleted Kv1.4 channel from ferret heart) in voltage- and frequent-dependent manners. The amiodarone's IC50 was 489.23 +/- 4.72 microM, higher than that of propafenone (98.97 +/- 1.13 microM) and verapamil (263.26 +/- 6.89 microM) for fKv1.4 delta N channel (+50 mV). After application of amiodarone, propafenone and verapamil, fKv1.4 delta N inactivation becomes bi-exponential: the faster portion of inactivation (drug-induced inactivation) and the slower portion of inactivation (C-type inactivation). Amiodarone and verapamil fastened C-type inactivation in fKv1.4 delta N, but propafenone did not. Unlike propafenone that had no effect on fKv1.4 delta N recovery, amiodarone and verapamil slowed recovery in fKv1.4 delta N.
Structure-activity relationships of fungicidal N-benzoylanthranilic esters. (1980)

The antifungal activity of 37 N-(methoxy-substituted benzoyl)anthranilic esters was tested on the powdery mildew of barley caused by Erysiphe graminis by the pot test. Among the methyl N-(methoxy-substituted benzoyl)anthranilates tested, 3, 4-dimethoxybenzoyl derivative exhibited the highest activity. The variation in fungicidal activity of N-(3, 4-dimethoxy-benzoyl)anthranilic esters was shown to be related with variation in hydrophobicity and the electronic property of the alcohol moiety of the ester. The branching at the α-position of the alcohol moiety of the ester was detrimental to the activity.
PHOTODIODE FOR COHERENT DETECTION : MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS (1988)

In coherent detection, the optical power of the local oscillator can lead the photodetector in the high injection regime. Degradation of the device performance can then be observed from numerical simulations and experiments.
Synthesis of Nucleopeptide-Oligonucleotide Conjugates (1999)

Abstract Two nucleopeptides (NPs) were synthesized on the base of δ-ornithine peptides by modification of the α-amino ornithine functions with pyrimidyl-1- and purinyl-9-acetic acids or with pyrimidyl-1- and purinyl-9-alanines. NPs were prepared on solid polymer bearing photolinker. Conjugates with the 16-mer oligonucleotide complementary to the env AUG codon region of the Friend murine leukemia virus were prepared.
Cooperation in Unethical Actions of Others (2006)

Lord Brennan, a Catholic Lawyer, chaired an inquiry into the allegations following criticism of certain unethical practices performed in St John and Elizabeth, a large London Catholic Private Hospital, thus providing an opportunity to reflect on the ethics of cooperating in the unethical actions of others. It is recommended that the opinion of a hospital's select group of staff, an ethicist and/or moral theologian would help discern when a proportionately critical cause justifies cooperation and hence collusion with evil would be avoided.
Modeling the Effect of Direct and Indirect Contamination of On-Farm Bulk Tank Milk with <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subsp. <i>paratuberculosis</i> (2013)

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in milk of bovine origin is suspected of being implicated in Crohn's disease in humans. Milk can be contaminated via direct excretion of MAP in milk or indirectly via fecal contamination of the milk. This study aimed at estimating the level of MAP in farm bulk tank milk and simulating the effect of direct and indirect contamination with MAP. The effect of discarding milk from test-positive cows at different prevalences was assessed. The concentration of MAP in milk was estimated using a simulation model, while taking direct and indirect contamination with MAP into account. Direct MAP contamination of milk was related to infection stages, while indirect contamination was associated with within-herd prevalence and distribution of cows in different stages of infection. Discarding of milk based on diagnostic test results was included as a control option. Median MAP load in farm bulk tank milk at within-herd infection prevalences from 7.5% to 60% were estimated to be 0.54-7.53 CFU/mL milk. Maximum concentration at the prevalence of 60% could be 1186 CFU/mL caused by shedding of high amounts of MAP in feces. At the prevalence of 15%, discarding milk from test positive cows would result in discarding 11% of milk and reduce the MAP level by 80%. Due to poor sensitivity of the diagnostic test, removing test-positive cows would not further reduce the already low concentration of MAP and it would not guarantee the milk as MAP-free. The model was relatively simple yet capable of capturing true infection status and associated contributions from milk and feces. Further knowledge on distribution of fecal excretion from infected cows is required because very few "super-shedders" might play a major role.
16×16 VCSEL Array Flip-chip bonded to CMOS VLSI Circuit (1999)

We have flip-chip bonded a 16×16 array of 970nm VCSELs to a Silicon CMOS circuit. The device yield after bonding and packaging of the Optoelectronic-VLSI chip is approximately 96%. Individual VCSELs are capable of modulated by the circuit at IGbit/s. Parallel testing of 80VCSELs at IGbit/s per VCSEL is presented.
Differences in Hippocampal Neuronal Population Responses to Modifications of an Environmental Context: Evidence for Distinct, Yet Complementary, Functions of CA3 and CA1 Ensembles (2004)

Understanding how the hippocampus processes information critical for establishing spatial and declarative memories will benefit greatly from determining not only what kind of information the hippocampus registers, but also how this information is processed across the different hippocampal subfields. We addressed this question using a novel immediate-early gene-based brain-imaging method (Arc/H1a catFISH) that allows comparisons of neuronal ensembles activated by two experiences separated by approximately 30 min. Rats exposed to the same environment twice activated CA3 and CA1 ensembles with a similarly high degree of overlap. Changing the identity or configuration of local cues, or changing distal cues, activated CA3 and CA1 ensembles with reduced overlap. Yet, the overlap was greater in CA3 than in CA1. In contrast, rats exposed to two completely different environments activated CA3 and CA1 ensembles with low overlap, and this overlap was even lower in CA3 compared with CA1. Thus, CA3 has a discontinuous, whereas CA1 has a graded, population response to alterations of an environment. Additionally, as indicated by the percentage of active neurons, the context representation was more sparse in CA3 (approximately 18%) than in CA1 (approximately 35%). Finally, CA3 and CA1 activity levels were not correlated within a session, arguing against a simple coactivation of these regions. Instead, the within-rat ratio of CA3/CA1 cell activity was correlated across sessions, suggesting that the balance of CA3/CA1 activity is individual specific. Taken together, these findings suggest that CA3 and CA1 neuronal ensembles perform distinct, yet complementary, functions in the processing of spatial and contextual information.
EFFECT OF ALKOXYGLYCEROLS ON THE FREQUENCY OF INJURIES FOLLOWING RADIATION THERAPY FOR CARCINOMA OF THE UTERINE CERVIX (1977)

The incidence of injuries following intracavitary and external radiation therapy is markedly decreased in all stages of the disease by the administration of alkoxyglycerols. Complex injuries (due to radiation injury and tumour growth in combination) were reduced to about 1/3 in a group receiving alkoxyglycerols prophylactically, i.e. before, during and after radiation treatment, when compared with a control group. Using non-prophylactic administration of alkoxyglycerols, i.e. during and after radiation treatment, no effect was observed on complex injuries, while--as for the prophylactic group--the injuries due to radiation only, were significantly decreased. The use of so called "increased amount" of radium in the intracavitary irradiator was followed by an unexpectedly high incidence of radiation injuries, which was considerably reduced, however, by alkoxyglycerols, especially when administered prophylactically.

Impact Of ATIS On Drivers' Decisions And Route Choice: A Literature Review (1993)

This report reviews the recent studies adopted in order to understand drivers' behavior, and in particular, behavior when influenced by an Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). Different approaches were used in these studies: field experiments, route choice surveys, interactive computer simulation games, route choice simulation and/or modeling, and stated preference. These studies are classified according to the main approach used, and the main objective, method, and findings are presented. Results indicate the need to understand how drivers choose or change routes in the absence of information systems in order to gain an understanding of route choice behavior in the presence of information.
Solid State Microwave and Millimeter Electronics (1999)

There has been a great deal of interest in recent years in the investigation of signals in the terahertz frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum. One impediment to this ongoing research is the lack of useful sources of energy and detectors in this spectral region. One promising solution to this problem is the use of non-linear optics and the process of difference frequency generation (DFG). This dissertation investigates the use of DFG in dielectric waveguide structures utilizing the resonant enhancement of asymmetric quantum wells.
Therapeutic Potential of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Transplantation for Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report (2013)

Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. In current paper, we first report our clinical data regarding administration of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation in treatment of cerebral palsy. A 5-year-old girl with cerebral palsy was treated with multiple times of intravenous and intrathecal administration of MSCs derived from her young sister and was followed up for 28 months. The gross motor dysfunction was improved. Other benefits included enhanced immunity, increased physical strength, and adjusted speech and comprehension. Temporary low-grade fever was the only side effect during the treatment. MSCs may be a safe and effective therapy to improve symptoms in children with cerebral palsy.
On the inference and prediction of DDoS campaigns (2014)

Abstract This work proposes a distributed denial‐of‐service (DDoS) inference and forecasting model that aims at providing insights to organizations, security operators, and emergency response teams during and after a DDoS attack. Specifically, our work strives to predict, within minutes, the attacks' features, namely intensity/rate (packets/second) and size (estimated number of used compromised machines/bots). The goal is to understand the future short‐term trend of the ongoing DDoS attack in terms of those features and thus provide the capability to recognize the current as well as future similar situations and hence appropriately respond to the threat. Further, our work aims at investigating DDoS campaigns by proposing a clustering approach to infer various victims targeted by the same campaign and predicting related features. Our analysis employs real darknet data to explore the feasibility of applying the inference and forecasting models on DDoS attacks and evaluate the accuracy of the predictions. To achieve our goal, our proposed approach leverages a number of time series and fluctuation analysis techniques, statistical methods, and forecasting approaches. The extracted inferences from various DDoS case studies exhibit a promising accuracy reaching at some points less than 1% error rate. Further, our approach could lead to a better understanding of the scale, speed, and size of DDoS attacks and generates inferences that could be adopted for immediate response and mitigation. Moreover, the accumulated insights could be used for the purpose of long‐term large‐scale DDoS analysis. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
DPP Converter Using LLC Resonant Voltage Multiplier with a Voltage Divider for Curved Solar Roof of PREVs (2018)

The mismatch in electrical characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) modules/substrings is well known for triggering various negative influences, such as reduction in power generation and occurrence of multiple maximum power points (MPPs). Various kinds of differential power processing (DPP) converters have been proposed to solve the issues. In recent years, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PREVs) equipped with a socalled solar roof (a PV panel on PREVs' roofs) have been developed and commercialized, but uneven solar radiation due to the curved surface results in mismatched characteristics. In this paper, a DPP converter based on an LLC resonant voltage multiplier with a voltage divider is proposed for PREVs' solar roofs consisting of seven substrings. Experiments emulating mismatched conditions were performed, and the results demonstrated that the proposed DPP converter could enhance the energy yield of mismatched substrings of solar roofs.
Force evaluations in lattice Boltzmann simulations with moving boundaries in two dimensions (2004)

Two techniques, based on the exchange of momentum and the integration of stress tensor, for the evaluation of the hydrodynamic forces in the lattice Boltzmann simulations are investigated on the curved and moving boundaries in two dimensions. The following results are obtained by numerical simulations: (i) the hydrodynamic forces on an inclined boundary and arc in liquid without flow computed by the stress-integration method agree with analytical predictions to a very high accuracy, while those by the momentum-exchange method have considerable errors for small segments; (ii) the simulation results of the sedimentation of a circular cylinder in a two-dimensional channel with the stress-integration method for hydrodynamic forces are in excellent agreement with those by a second-order moving finite-element method; (iii) the particle migrated from the centerline is found to occur in the simulations of a circular cylinder in a Poiseuille flow by the stress-integration method, consistent with the Segré-Silberberg effect. In conclusion, the stress-integration method can be a good candidate to evaluate the hydrodynamic forces on the elastic boundaries and moving particles in fluid.
Genetic Inactivation of ADAMTS15 Metalloprotease in Human Colorectal Cancer (2009)

Matrix metalloproteinases have been traditionally linked to cancer dissemination through their ability to degrade most extracellular matrix components, thus facilitating invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. However, recent functional studies have revealed that some metalloproteases, including several members of the ADAMTS family, also exhibit tumor suppressor properties. In particular, ADAMTS1, ADAMTS9, and ADAMTS18 have been found to be epigenetically silenced in malignant tumors of different sources, suggesting that they may function as tumor suppressor genes. Herein, we show that ADAMTS15 is genetically inactivated in colon cancer. We have performed a mutational analysis of the ADAMTS15 gene in human colorectal carcinomas, with the finding of four mutations in 50 primary tumors and 6 colorectal cancer cell lines. Moreover, functional in vitro and in vivo studies using HCT-116 and SW-620 colorectal cancer cells and severe combined immunodeficient mice have revealed that ADAMTS15 restrains tumor growth and invasion. Furthermore, the presence of ADAMTS15 in human colorectal cancer samples showed a negative correlation with the histopathologic differentiation grade of the corresponding tumors. Collectively, these results provide evidence that extracellular proteases, including ADAMTS15, may be targets of inactivating mutations in human cancer and further validate the concept that secreted metalloproteases may show tumor suppressor properties.
Adducts of DNA and Anthracycline Antibiotics (1994)

The molecular interactions between the anthracycline anticancer drugs daunorubicin and doxorubicin and their cellular receptor molecule, DNA, have been elucidated by high resolution x-ray diffraction analyses. These structural studies allow us to understand the possible biological functions associated with different parts of the anthracycline molecules. Some parts are essential for their binding to DNA, while other parts provide the necessary binding specificity or interference with relevant cellular enzymes such as polymerases or topoisomerases. Interestingly, drug molecules are capable of adjusting their conformation so as to strategically place those various functional parts in DNA double helix to achieve optimal binding affinity and specificity. A stable covalent cross-link between daunorubicin/doxorubicin and DNA can be formed as mediated by formaldehyde (HCHO). The cross-linking reaction suggests a different route in making new antitumor compounds. Therefore, we have tested the biological activities (against L1210 cells) of daunorubicin cross-linked by HCHO to a (dG-dC)n molecule and the adduct indeed exhibits cytotoxicity. Together these studies of structure-function relationship may be useful in designing new anthracycline drugs.
Join processing using Bloom filter in MapReduce (2012)

MapReduce is a programming model which is extensively used for large-scale data analysis. The join operation is one of the essential operations for the data analysis. However, MapReduce is not very efficient to perform the join operation since it always processes all records in the datasets even in the cases that only small fraction of datasets are relevant for the join operation. We alleviate this problem by applying bloomjoin algorithm, a classic distributed join algorithm. We improve the join performance using Bloom filters in MapReduce. In our approach, the Bloom filters are constructed in distributed fashion and are used to filter out redundant intermediate records. In order to apply the Bloom filters in MapReduce, we modify Hadoop to assign the input datasets to map tasks sequentially, and we propose a method to determine the processing order of input datasets based on the estimated cost. Our experimental results show that the number of intermediate results is decreased and the join performance can be improved in our architecture.

Toxic Trace Elements: Preferential Concentration in Respirable Particles (1974)

The toxic trace elements arsenic, antimony, cadmium, lead, selenium, and thallium were found to be most concentrated in the smallest respirable particles emitted from coal-fired power plants. These elements, or their compounds, are probably volatilized during combustion and preferentially adsorb or condense onto the small particles which can most easily pass through conventional control equipment.
