Coherent Control of Reactive Scattering (1998)

Coherent control of bimolecular reactions is demonstrated for 3D atom-diatom reactive scattering. In particular, a superposition of initial degenerate $(\mathrm{vjk})$ diatomic states is used to control reactive integral and differential cross sections in $\mathrm{D}+{\mathrm{H}}_{2}(\mathrm{vjk})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{H}+\mathrm{HD}$, where $v$ and $j$ are the vibrational and rotational quantum numbers of a diatom and $k$ is the projection quantum number of the diatom angular momentum onto the initial relative translational velocity vector. Control over the ratio of reactive to nonreactive scattering is extensive.
Dual-Functionalized Metal–Organic Frameworks Constructed from Hexatopic Ligand for Selective CO<sub>2</sub> Adsorption (2015)

A ligand design approach, which requires rational design of ligand based on the knowledge of specific target, was applied for the synthesis of two interesting and robust MOFs 1 and 2 containing unusual several types of copper(II) secondary building units (SBUs). Thanks to unsaturated metal centers (UMCs) and azo group, microporous material 1 exhibited not only high CO2 uptake but also an impressive selective adsorption of CO2 over CH4 and N2. Moreover, a high H2 uptake of 1 was also observed.

A Novel RET Kinase–β-Catenin Signaling Pathway Contributes to Tumorigenesis in Thyroid Carcinoma (2008)

The RET receptor tyrosine kinase has essential roles in cell survival, differentiation, and proliferation. Oncogenic activation of RET causes the cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) and is a frequent event in sporadic thyroid carcinomas. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying RET's potent transforming and mitogenic signals are still not clear. Here, we show that nuclear localization of beta-catenin is frequent in both thyroid tumors and their metastases from MEN 2 patients, suggesting a novel mechanism of RET-mediated function through the beta-catenin signaling pathway. We show that RET binds to, and tyrosine phosphorylates, beta-catenin and show that the interaction between RET and beta-catenin can be direct and independent of cytoplasmic kinases, such as SRC. As a result of RET-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation, beta-catenin escapes cytosolic down-regulation by the adenomatous polyposis coli/Axin/glycogen synthase kinase-3 complex and accumulates in the nucleus, where it can stimulate beta-catenin-specific transcriptional programs in a RET-dependent fashion. We show that down-regulation of beta-catenin activity decreases RET-mediated cell proliferation, colony formation, and tumor growth in nude mice. Together, our data show that a beta-catenin-RET kinase pathway is a critical contributor to the development and metastasis of human thyroid carcinoma.

Oculomotor findings in autistic children (1988)

Eleven children with infantile autism or autistic-like conditions were examined with oculomotor tests and with auditory brainstem response audiometry. Measurements of voluntary, horizontal non-predictable saccades showed that the eye motor function was abnormal in six (55 per cent) of the eleven patients. The saccades were hypometric in all six instances and the saccadic velocity was reduced in four instances. The abnormalities observed are consistent with brain dysfunction, in most cases probably indicating pontocerebellar involvement. In five instances ABR was found to be abnormal which indicates brainstem dysfunction. Oculomotor dysfunction and/or ABR abnormality was observed in eight (73 per cent) of the patients studied.
Multilayered media Green's functions in integral equation formulations (1997)

A compact representation is given of the electric- and magnetic-type dyadic Green's functions for plane-stratified, multilayered, uniaxial media based on the transmission-line network analog along the aids normal to the stratification. Furthermore, mixed-potential integral equations are derived within the framework of this transmission-line formalism for arbitrarily shaped, conducting or penetrable objects embedded in the multilayered medium. The development emphasizes laterally unbounded environments, but an extension to the case of a medium enclosed by a rectangular shield is also included.
Electrochemical reduction of maleic and fumaric acids and their dimethyl esters in methanol at a mercury electrode (1987)

The electrochemical reduction of maleic and fumaric acids and their dimethyl esters have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry on HMDE in pure methanol. The cyclic voltammograms of the free acids show two successive reduction waves due to the influence of the different strength of the carboxylic groups on the double bond reduction. The reduction mechanism is verified by examining the effect of different supporting electrolytes, proton donors, and strong bases on the reduction waves. The double bond reduction of the corresponding dimethyl esters takes place in one step.
Sequence Finishing and Gene Mapping for <i>Candida albicans</i> Chromosome 7 and Syntenic Analysis Against the <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> GenomeThe entire chromosome 7 sequence has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the project accession no. AP006852. (2005)

The size of the genome in the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans is 15.6 Mb. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing was carried out at Stanford University where the sequences were assembled into 412 contigs. C. albicans is a diploid basically, and analysis of the sequence is complicated due to repeated sequences and to sequence polymorphism between homologous chromosomes. Chromosome 7 is 1 Mb in size and the best characterized of the 8 chromosomes in C. albicans. We assigned 16 of the contigs, ranging in length from 7309 to 267,590 bp, to chromosome 7 and determined sequences of 16 regions. These regions included four gaps, a misassembled sequence, and two major repeat sequences (MRS) of >16 kb. The length of the continuous sequence attained was 949,626 bp and provided complete coverage of chromosome 7 except for telomeric regions. Sequence analysis was carried out and predicted 404 genes, 11 of which included at least one intron. A 7-kb indel, which might be caused by a retrotransposon, was identified as the largest difference between the homologous chromosomes. Synteny analysis revealed that the degree of synteny between C. albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is too weak to use for completion of the genomic sequence in C. albicans.
Correlation between Exposure Years and Deterioration on the Basis of Field Test Stakes Treated with Oil-Borne Preservative (1983)

The deterioration of preservative treated stakes was followed in aboveground, groundline and belowground zones in order to examine the correlation between their durability and exposure years.Stakes of six wood species were treated with 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5% solutions of di-iodomethyl p-tolyl sulfone (AMICAL 48). They were half buried together with untreated stakes of each species in a graveyard exposure trial. Then, their deterioration by decay and termite attack was inspected every year by visual observation and measurement of compressive strength parallel to the grain.The results obtained were as follows:(1) Even in a belowground zone where the highest deterioration was observed in untreated stakes, the stakes treated with 0.5% AMICAL 48 resisted more than six years with the exception of Beihi sapwood and Oshuakamatsu (Fig. 1, (a)∼(f)). Also, the average ratio of residual compressive strength (σc%) of treated stakes other than Oshuakamatsu was kept over 80% level after six years.(2) The significant correlations between (a) exposure years and grade of damage, and (b) exposure years and σc% were obtained by the regression lines when the deterioration proceeded quickly (Table II). In this case, by examining the regression lines, the durability of stakes could be easily estimated (Fig. 2 (a) (b)).(3) When the deterioration was slow, these correlations were difficult to be obtained by the regression lines. However, it was proved that durability could be estimated from the regression curves based on the results of continuous observations within a six year period (Fig. 3).
Oxygen use in Claus sulphur plants (1981)

This paper is concerned with the modified Claus process which is the standard method in industry for converting hydrogen sulfide (H/sub 2/S) to elemental sulfur. The process is used in the natural gas processing, oil refining and synthetic gas manufacture. This process is suitable for acid gas streams containing over 30-40% H/sub 2/S by volume. When the H/sub 2/S content is below this level, combustion temperatures cannot be maintained with the conventional process. Several process variations have been developed to allow processing of acid gas containing as little as 5% H/sub 2/S. This report describes the oxygen process in which oxygen is substituted for the combustion air. Technical and economic advantages of the oxygen process in Claus plants are listed. 11 refs.
Seizure prediction using polynomial SVM classification (2015)

This paper presents a novel patient-specific algorithm for prediction of seizures in epileptic patients with low hardware complexity and low power consumption. In the proposed approach, we first compute the spectrogram of the input fragmented EEG signals from a few electrodes. Each fragmented data clip is ten minutes in duration. Band powers, relative spectral powers and ratios of spectral powers are extracted as features. The features are then subjected to electrode selection and feature selection using classification and regression tree. The baseline experiment uses all features from selected electrodes and these features are then subjected to a radial basis function kernel support vector machine (RBF-SVM) classifier. The proposed method further selects a small number features from the selected electrodes and train a polynomial support vector machine (SVM) classifier with degree of 2 on these features. Prediction performances are compared between the baseline experiment and the proposed method. The algorithm is tested using intra-cranial EEG (iEEG) from the American Epilepsy Society Seizure Prediction Challenge database. The baseline experiment using a large number of features and RBF-SVM achieves a 100% sensitivity and an average AUC of 0.9985, while the proposed algorithm using only a small number of features and polynomial SVM with degree of 2 can achieve a sensitivity of 100.0%, an average area under curve (AUC) of 0.9795. For both experiments, only 10% of the available training data are used for training.
Neural mechanisms underlying peak‐dose dyskinesia induced by levodopa and apomorphine are distinct: Evidence from the effects of the alpha<sub>2</sub> adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (2001)

Dyskinesia, secondary to dopamine replacement therapy, is the major complication of currently available therapies for Parkinson's disease. Alpha(2) adrenoceptor antagonists, such as idazoxan, can significantly reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesia in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-lesioned, nonhuman primate model of Parkinson's disease and in human. This action of adrenoceptor antagonists may involve blockade of the actions of noradrenaline synthesised from levodopa. We hypothesise that, because dopamine receptor agonists, such as apomorphine, cannot be metabolised to produce noradrenaline, activation of adrenoceptors may not be involved in dyskinesia produced by such agents. If this were the case, idazoxan would not be expected to reduce apomorphine-induced dyskinesia. MPTP-lesioned marmosets with stable dyskinesia induced by prolonged levodopa therapy were given an acute challenge with apomorphine (0.3 mg/kg subcutaneously) or levodopa (8.0 mg/kg orally), these doses produced equivalent peak-dose dyskinesia. Idazoxan (2.5 mg/kg p.o.), or vehicle, was then administered with either apomorphine or levodopa. Idazoxan abolished levodopa-induced dyskinesia but did not affect apomorphine-induced dyskinesia (P < 0.05 and P > 0.05, respectively, Wilcoxon matched pairs test). Idazoxan also extended the anti-parkinsonian actions of levodopa but did not affect those of apomorphine. The pharmacological characteristics of the neural mechanisms underlying levodopa-induced dyskinesia and apomorphine-induced dyskinesia in parkinsonism thus appear to be distinct, at least with respect to the involvement of alpha(2) adrenoceptors. Specifically, levodopa, but not apomorphine-induced dyskinesia, involves activation of adrenoceptors. This finding may have major implications for understanding dyskinesia and should be borne in mind when designing clinical studies in which levodopa or dopamine receptor agonist challenges are employed to assess potential anti-dyskinetic properties of drugs.
Thin film microwave acoustic filters on GaAs (2003)

The authors report on progress made in ultraminiature resonators and bandpass filters fabricated on GaAs substrates stimulated by significant advances made in the research and development of thin-film resonator (TFR) technology on Si and other substrates and a growing need for high-performance integrated passive frequency control elements on GaAs MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits). It is shown that significant size reductions and performance characteristics can be obtained by using microwave acoustic waves whose wavelength and, hence physical device size, is approximately 100000 times smaller than that of electromagnetic counterparts. Monolithic multisection SCF (stacked crystal filter) devices, exhibiting higher selectivity, have been achieved on GaAs by cascading single SCF sections, without interstage coupling elements, and have demonstrated center frequencies above 1 GHz.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Visible-band dispersion by a tapered air-core Bragg waveguide (2012)

We describe out-coupling of visible band light from a tapered hollow waveguide with TiO(2)/SiO(2) Bragg cladding mirrors. The mirrors exhibit an omnidirectional band for TE-polarized modes in the ~490 to 570 nm wavelength range, resulting in near-vertical radiation at mode cutoff positions. Since cutoff is wavelength-dependent, white light is spatially dispersed by the taper. Resolution on the order of 2 nm is predicted and corroborated by experimental results. These tapers can potentially form the basis for compact micro-spectrometers in lab-on-a-chip and optofluidic micro-systems.
Heuristics for finding concurrent bugs (2004)

This paper presents new heuristics that increase the probability of manifesting concurrent bugs. The heuristics are based on cross-run monitoring. A contended shared variable is chosen and random context switching is performed at accesses to that variable. The relative strength of the new heuristics is analyzed. In comparison to previous works, our heuristics increase the frequency of bug manifestation. In addition, the new heuristics were able to find bugs that previous methods did not discover.
Multi-sensor fusion algorithm in cooperative vehicle-infrastructure system for blind spot warning (2022)

With the rapid development of electric vehicles and artificial intelligence technology, the automatic driving industry has entered a rapid development stage. However, there is a risk of traffic accidents due to the blind spot of vision, whether autonomous vehicles or traditional vehicles. In this article, a multi-sensor fusion perception method is proposed, in which the semantic information from the camera and the range information from the LiDAR are fused at the data layer and the LiDAR point cloud containing semantic information is clustered to obtain the type and location information of the objects. Based on the sensor equipments deployed on the roadside, the sensing information processed by the fusion method is sent to the nearby vehicles in real-time through 5G and V2X technology for blind spot early warning, and its feasibility is verified by experiments and simulations. The blind spot warning scheme based on roadside multi-sensor fusion perception proposed in this article has been experimentally verified in the closed park, which can obviously reduce the traffic accidents caused by the blind spot of vision, and is of great significance to improve traffic safety.
A modo de introducción: clase y voto en las sociedades contemporáneas (1999)

Due to irrigation practices and industrial pollution, large areas of the lands in the world are simultaneously affected by salinity and heavy metal contamination. It has been considered that halophytes have adapted to salinity, and can be used to remediate heavy metal-contaminated saline soils. <i>Suaeda salsa</i> L. (<i>S. salsa</i>) is a high salt-resistance plant, which can efficiently absorb and accumulate salt and toxic metals from saline soils, suggesting that this may be potential plant species that can be used for the restoration of saline soils contaminated with heavy metals. The present brief review sheds light on the characteristics of <i>S. salsa</i> in the uptake and accumulation of high levels of heavy metals. Furthermore, the physiological and molecular mechanisms for heavy metal tolerance were highlighted. The potential values of <i>S. salsa</i> in the remediation of saline soils were also summarized.
The combination of TLR‐9 adjuvantation and electroporation‐mediated delivery enhances <i>in vivo</i> antitumor responses after vaccination with HPV‐16 E7 encoding DNA (2010)

Therapeutic DNA vaccination is an attractive adjuvant option to conventional methods in the fight against cancer, like surgery radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite strong antitumor effects that were observed in small animals with different antigens, DNA-based vaccines remain weakly immunogenic in large animals and primates compared to protein-based vaccines. Here, we sought to enhance the immunogenicity of a therapeutic nontransforming cervical cancer DNA vaccine (HPV-16 E7SH) by introduction of a highly optimized CpG cassette into the plasmid backbone as well as by an optimized DNA delivery using an advanced electroporation (EP) technology. By integrating the means for agent administration and EP into a single device, this technology enables a simple, one-step procedure that facilitates reproducibility. We found that highly optimized CpG motifs alone triggers an enhanced IFN-γ and granzyme B response in Elispot assays as well as stronger tumor regression. Furthermore, these effects could be dramatically enhanced when the CpG cassette containing plasmid was administered via the newly developed EP technology. These data suggest that an optimized application of CpG-enriched DNA vaccines may be an attractive strategy for the treatment of cancer. Collectively, these results provide a basis for the transfer of preclinical therapeutic DNA-based immunization studies into successful clinical cancer trials.
32.4: Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes for Full‐color Active‐matrix Displays (2010)

Abstract Quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLEDs) are a printable thin film electroluminescent technology that delivers exceptional color and efficiency at low cost of manufacture for display and solid‐ state lighting applications. We report on our progress developing efficient, stable QLEDs for full‐color active‐matrix displays, including recent advances in device performance, lifetime and Cadmium‐free QLEDs. Current QLED devices exhibit peak luminance efficiencies exceeding 50 cd/A, luminous power efficiencies greater than 20 lm/W and operational lifetimes exceeding 300 hours at 1,000 nits. Our most recent QLED efficiency results suggest that today's QLED performance is within a factor of two of the theoretical limit.
High-Resolution Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Analysis of Metastatic Cancer Cells (1984)

High-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of intact cancer cells revealed differences between cells with the capacity to metastasize and those that produce locally invasive tumors. The NMR resonances that characterize the metastatic cells were associated with an increased ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid and an increased amount of plasma membrane-bound cholesterol ester. High-resolution NMR spectroscopy could therefore be used to assess the metastatic potential of primary tumors.
CVT speed ratio control study on the dynamic performance compensation (2012)

There are some shortcomings in the CVT dynamic performance in the conventional economic model This study increased dynamic performance of vehicle through amending the target speed ratio and the proportional solenoid valve drive signal voltage With the driver's intention(the accelerator opening change rate), we get the driver's intention index. We use the driver's intention to modify the target speed ratio and to improve the engine line of work. To solve the problem that the speed ratio responds slowly, we raise the proportional solenoid valve drive signal voltage and accelerate the shift speed The real vehicle testing results show that in the conventional economic model car up to 50km/h in 4.3s; after dynamic performance compensation, car up to 50km/h in 3.6s, CVT ratio control method, based on dynamic performance compensation, can improve vehicle dynamic performance.
