Phylogenetic and physiological diversity of Arthrobacter strains isolated from unconsolidated subsurface sediments The GenBank accession numbers for the sequences determined in this study are given in Methods. (2000)

Forty strains of Gram-positive, aerobic, heterotrophic bacteria isolated from saturated subsurface lacustrine, paleosol and fluvial sediments at the US Department of Energy's Hanford Site in south central Washington State were characterized by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences and by determination of selected morphological, physiological and biochemical traits. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rDNA sequences from subsurface isolates in the context of similar sequences from previously described bacterial species indicated that 38 of the subsurface strains were most closely related to Arthrobacter: The other two strains appeared to be most closely related to Kocuria. The subsurface isolates fell into seven phylogenetically coherent and distinct clusters, indicating that there was a significant degree of diversity among them. Additional diversity was detected by analysis of cellular fatty acids and physiological traits. The general morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of the subsurface strains were consistent with those of Arthrobacter, Micrococcus and genera recently separated from Micrococcus, such as Kocuria. Some of the subsurface strains were phylogenetically closely related to certain species of Arthrobacter. (16S rDNA sequence similarities >99%). However, most of the subsurface isolates did not cluster with previously established species in phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences or with hierarchical cluster analysis of cellular fatty acid profiles. Moreover, many of the subsurface isolates that were most closely related to Arthrobacter. also differed from all established species of that genus in several of their specific physiological characteristics. Most of the subsurface isolates, then, are likely to be novel strains or species of Arthrobacter.
Potential Clinical Significance of a Plasma-Based <i>KRAS</i> Mutation Analysis in Patients with Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (2010)

KRAS mutation in plasma DNA correlates with the mutation status in the matched tumor tissues of patients with NSCLC. Plasma KRAS mutation status is associated with a poor tumor response to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC patients and may be used as a predictive marker in selecting patients for such treatment.
A Description of the Male of <i>Sympherobius Arizonicus</i> Banks (Neuroptera: Hemerobiidae) (1963)

The genus Sympherobius Banks, I9O4, is represented in the Nearctic Region north of Mexico by seventeen rather well-defined species. All but two of these were treated in detail by Carpenter (I94O) in his revision of the Nearctic Hemerobiidae, while the remaining two species have been described more recently by Gurney (I948) and Nakahara (I96O.). Unfortunately, as the species S. arizonicus Banks and S. pictus (Banks) have been known only from females and as Nakahara's S. stangei was described from a single specimen lacking an abdomen, information concerning the taxonomically important structures of the male genitalia of these species has remained unknown. Recently Mr.

Adaptive router deployment for multimedia services in mobile pervasive environments (2012)

In this paper, we present an adaptive algorithm to deploy or re-deploy wireless mobile relays in pervasive environments. To that end, we simulate a simple scenario where a wireless router moves between two static nodes, a source and a destination of multimedia traffic. The mobile relay and both static nodes are in line of sight. The mobile router can move on the straight line between source and destination to reach the optimal position. We obtain preliminary results on the performance of end-to-end delay, jitter, throughput, and the perceived quality under such mobility pattern for the mobile node.
A High Performance LSI Digital Signal Processor for Communication (1985)

This paper describes a newly developed CMOS LSI DSP (FDSP3). It has a powerful multiplier, which operates at a rate of 10 M-operations/s, almost twice as fast as the fastest existing LSI DSP's. Some key techniques to attain these high performance characteristics of the DSP are described. Suitable memory capacities of the RAM and ROM were analyzed as a function of the operational capability of the DSP. These were reflected in the design of the FDSP3. To assist in the development of the program, support tools have been developed. A Pascal based cross compiler and an on-line debugging tool are described in some detail.
Highly <i>cis</i>-1,4 Selective Polymerization of Dienes with Homogeneous Ziegler−Natta Catalysts Based on NCN-Pincer Rare Earth Metal Dichloride Precursors (2008)

The first aryldiimine NCN-pincer ligated rare earth metal dichlorides (2,6-(2,6-C6H3R2N=CH)2-C6H3)LnCl2(THF)2 (Ln = Y, R = Me (1), Et (2), iPr (3); R = Et, Ln = La (4), Nd (5), Gd (6), Sm (7), Eu (8), Tb (9), Dy (10), Ho (11), Yb (12), Lu (13)) were successfully synthesized via transmetalation between 2,6-(2,6-C6H3-R2N=CH)2-C6H3Li and LnCl3(THF)(1-3.5). These complexes are isostructural monomers with two coordinating THF molecules, where the pincer ligand coordinates to the central metal ion in a kappaC:kappaN:kappaN' tridentate mode, adopting a meridional geometry. Complexes 1-6, 9-11, and 13 combined with aluminum tris(alkyl)s and [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] established a homogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst system, which exhibited high activities and excellent cis-1,4 selectivities for the polymerizations of butadiene (T(p) = 25 degrees C, 99.9%; 0 degrees C, 100%) and isoprene (T(p) = 25 degrees C, 98.8%). Remarkably, such high cis-1,4 selectivity almost remained at elevated polymerization temperatures up to 80 degrees C and did not vary with the type of the central lanthanide element, however, which was influenced obviously by the ortho substituent of the N-aryl ring of the ligands and the bulkiness of the aluminum alkyls. The Ln-Al bimetallic cations were considered as the active species. These results shed new light on improving the catalytic performance of the conventional Ziegler-Natta catalysts for the specific selective polymerization of dienes.
The agentsheets behavior exchange (1997)

In end-user programming it is still hard to overcome the tension between usability and expressiveness. Some end-user programming approaches focus on simple use but they make it hard or even impossible to write programs expressing useful functionality. Other programming approaches can be very expressive by allowing the construction of arbitrary complex programs but this expressiveness comes at the price of usability. End user programming approaches that are at least reasonably usable and expressive at the same time require not merely a syntactic improvement of programming languages but a new way to conceptualize the programming process in a social context. Social behavior processing describes the idea of elevating programming components to the level of easily composable and decomposable entities that can be shared through the World Wide Web with a community of end-users. The Agentsheets Behavior Exchange is outlined here as a forum for end-user programmers, including middle school kids and professionals, to (a) compose behaviors in order to create interactive SimCity™-like simulations and games, to (b) comprehend behaviors created by other users or by themselves, and to (c) share these behaviors with other users.
Thin-film video scanner and driver circuit for solid-state flat-panel displays (1977)

A thin-film scanner circuit which greatly reduces the number of external lead connections to a large-area flat-panel display, while at the same time providing both the scanning (addressing) function and the video driver function, has been successfully fabricated. The circuit, which can handle both TV (analog) and alphanumeric (digital) type video, also performs line storage so that the incoming serial video can be presented to the display panel in line-at-a-time fashion Vacuum-deposited CdSe thin-film transistors (TFT's), operating in a digital switching mode, are used in conjunction with thin-film storage capacitors to convert the input video into 112 parallel output video columns. Measurements of actual circuit parameters indicate that the scanner can easily operate at real-time TV rates.
Experimental verification of the application of lateral buildup ratio on the 4‐MeV electron beam (2006)

The lateral buildup ratio (LBR) used to estimate the depth dose distribution of electron beams for an irregular cutout field was obtained for a 4-MeV energy beam from a Varian 21 EX linear accelerator. The depth-dose curves for a group of circular cutout fields starting from a 2-cm diameter were measured. Electron diodes were used in a large water tank to measure the LBR values for 6, 9, 12, and 16 MeV electron beam energies and a 10 x 10 cm2 applicator. The results agreed with the published data. When the same equipment, setup, and technique were used to determine the LBR values for the 4-MeV energy beam, the values were only reasonable, being within the clinical treatment range (i.e., LBR < 1) for the smallest 6 x 6 cm2 applicator. The calculated LBR values were clinically unacceptable for the circular cutout fields with a diameter larger than 2 cm with the 10 x 10 cm2 applicator. The difficulty in the LBR measurement may be due to the significant contribution of scattered electrons from the beam defining system. This study also focused on how well the sigma values for the 4-MeV beam can predict depth-dose curves for other field sizes and whether the values are applicator-dependent.
Metal/Semiconductor Core/Shell Nanodisks and Nanotubes (2005)

Abstract The low melting point of Zn and the high melting point of ZnO, as well as their hexagonal crystal structures, present great advantages for designing and fabricating various metal/semiconductor core/shell nanostructures. By controlling the kinetics in the Zn and ZnO system, the lower‐energy facets, and the oxidation rates of different surfaces, we can control the fabrication of Zn/ZnO core/shell single‐crystal, polycrystalline, and mesoporous nanodisks, as well as a variety of ZnO nanotubes. The oxidation of a Zn nano‐object leads to the formation of Zn/ZnO core/shell nanodisks. A lower oxidation temperature results in the formation of a single‐crystal‐like Zn/ZnO core/shell structure, while a higher oxidation temperature leads to the formation of textured and even polycrystalline nanostructures. A re‐sublimation process of Zn in the core leaves a ZnO shell structure. This is an approach for synthesizing metal/semiconductor core/shell or composite nanostructures. This article offers a detailed description of the kinetics controlling the procedures, the nanostructures obtained, their morphological and crystal structures, and their formation mechanisms.

An Introduction to the Layered Characterisation for High Performance Systems (1997)

A toolset for performance analysis of parallel systems, PACE, is presented in this report. In this toolset expert knowledge about the performance evaluation techniques is not required as a prerequisite for the user. Instead a declarative approach to the performance study is taken by describing the application in a way that is both intuitive to the user, but can also be used to obtain performance results. The underlying performance related characterisation models and their evaluation processes are hidden from the user. This document describes the special purpose language, and the evaluation system, that form the core of the PACE toolset. Amongst the aims of the toolset is the support of characterisation model reusability, ease of experimentation, provide different levels of prediction accuracy, and support of different levels of characterisation model abstraction.
Electronic Energy Level of Off-Center Substitutional Nitrogen in Silicon: Determination by Electron Spin Resonance Measurements (1988)

It is demonstrated that a deep level of a paramagnetic off-center substitutional N can be determined by electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements of the peak-to-peak derivative linewidth Δ H msl over a wide temperature region from 150 to 550 K. The temperature dependence of Δ H msl observed above ∼330 K is interpreted in terms of one type of motional broadening. According to this model, we obtain an energy level of 0.33±0.02 eV below the conduction band and the electron capture cross section σ 0 of 1.0×10 -15 cm 2 , which are in agreement with one of the levels obtained by deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS).
Enantioselective Synthesis of SNAP-7941: Chiral Dihydropyrimidone Inhibitor of MCH1-R (2008)

An enantioselective synthesis of SNAP-7941, a potent melanin concentrating hormone receptor antagonist, was achieved by using two organocatalytic methods. The first method utilized to synthesize the enantioenriched dihydropyrimidone core was the Cinchona alkaloid-catalyzed Mannich reaction of beta-keto esters to acylimines and the second was the chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed Biginelli reaction. Completion of the synthesis was accomplished via selective urea formation at the N3 position of the dihydropyrimidone with the 3-(4-phenylpiperidin-1-yl)propylamine side chain fragment. The synthesis of SNAP-7921 highlights the utility of asymmetric organocatalytic methods in the construction of an important class of chiral heterocycles.

Improved architectures for the add-compare-select operation in long constraint length Viterbi decoding (1998)

While turbo coding techniques have received much recent attention for their extraordinary coding gains, these techniques inherently suffer latency limitations unacceptable in most telephony applications. Long constraint length (LCL) Viterbi decoding (VD) techniques hold promise for significant coding gains at low latencies. This paper presents two novel architectures for the add-compare-select unit of an LCL VD. The derived bit-serial circuits are shown to be more efficient than traditional bit-serial methods with one solution 24% more efficient than traditional approaches and requiring only 1/2 the I/O. Using these techniques, a hardware Viterbi decoder was designed, built, and tested.
Methods for multi-carrier power amplifier linearization (2005)

Efficiency and adjacent channel interference (ACI) performance requirements of modern cellular 3G/4G, wireless metropolitan area networks (WMAN), multipoint multi-channel distribution service (MMDS) and local multipoint distribution service (LMDS) transmitters, and space transponders all have prompted research into areas such as linearization, peak-to-average power reduction, modem hardware. impairments correction, and emission spectral shaping and filtering. This paper illustrates using computer simulations, theoretical analysis, and experimental results several techniques for making transmitters more efficient and more programmable. Also an attempt was made to identify some of their hardware implementation difficulties and performance limiting factors.
Template–dependent variation in the relative fidelity of DNA polymerase I of<i>Escherichia coli</i>in the presence of Mg<sup>2+</sup>versus Mn<sup>2+</sup> (1984)

The fidelity of E. coli DNA polymerase I in the presence of Mg2+ vs Mn2+ was examined at many positions along natural DNA templates, by use of an electrophoretic assay of misincorporation. Although there was an overall greater tendency for misincorporation to occur in Mn2+-activated chain elongation, some specific sites on the template were more prone to misincorporation with Mg2+ and others with Mn2+. This sequence-dependent effect was seen in spite of the finding that the relative rate of incorporation of the correct nucleotide at different positions on the template was essentially the same with Mg2+ and Mn2+. In agreement with previous studies, the fidelity of E. coli pol I was higher at activating, than at inhibiting, concentrations of Mg2+. The results reveal new complexities regarding the role of divalent cation in the control of fidelity in DNA synthesis and attest to the dynamic nature of interactions between DNA polymerase, its substrates and divalent metal activator during the course of polymerization on natural templates.
Nano ES GEMMA and PDMA, new tools for the analysis of nanobioparticles—Protein complexes, lipoparticles, and viruses (2008)

Differential mobility analysis (DMA) is a technique suited for size analysis as well as preparative collection of airborne nanosized airborne particles. In the recent decade, the analysis of intact viruses, proteins, DNA fragments, polymers, and inorganic nanoparticles was possible when combining this method with a nano-electrospray charge-reduction source for producing aerosols from a sample solution/suspensions. Mass analysis of high molecular weight noncovalent complexes is also possible with this methodology due to the linear correlation of the electrophoretic mobility diameter and the molecular mass. In this work, we present the analysis (size and molecular mass) of high molecular weight multimers (noncovalent functional homocomplex) of Jack bean urease in a mass range from 275 kDa up to 2.5 MDa, with mainly present tri- and hexamers but also higher oligomers of the 91 kDa monomer subunit. In a second experiment, the size analysis of intact very-low-density (approximately 35 nm), low-density ( approximately 22 nm) and high-density lipoparticles (approximately 10 nm), which are heterocomplexes consisting of cholesterol, lipids, and proteins in different ratios, is presented. Results from mobility analysis were in excellent agreement with particle diameters found in literature. The last presented experiment demonstrates size analysis of a rod-like virus and selective sampling of a selected size fraction of electrosprayed, singly-charged tobacco mosaic virus particles. Sampling and subsequent transmission electron microscopic investigations of a specific size fraction (40 nm electrophoretic mobility diameter) revealed the folding of virus particles during the electrospray and charge reduction (electrical stress) as well as solvent evaporation (mechanical stress) process, leading to an observed geometry of 150 (length) x 35 (width) nm (average cylindrical geometry of unsprayed intact virus 300 x 18 nm).
Non-modal growth of perturbations in density-driven convection in porous media (2008)

In the context of geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide in saline aquifers, much interest has been focused on the process of density-driven convection resulting from dissolution of CO 2 in brine in the underlying medium. Recent investigations have studied the time and length scales characteristic of the onset of convection based on the framework of linear stability theory. It is well known that the non-autonomous nature of the resulting matrix does not allow a normal mode analysis and previous researchers have either used a quasi-static approximation or solved the initial-value problem with arbitrary initial conditions. In this manuscript, we describe and use the recently developed non-modal stability theory to compute maximum amplifications possible, optimized over all possible initial perturbations. Non-modal stability theory also provides us with the structure of the most-amplified (or optimal) perturbations. We also present the details of three-dimensional spectral calculations of the governing equations. The results of the amplifications predicted by non-modal theory compare well to those obtained from the spectral calculations.
Long-Term<i>in Vivo</i>Clearance of Gadolinium-Based AGuIX Nanoparticles and Their Biocompatibility after Systemic Injection (2015)

We previously reported the synthesis of gadolinium-based nanoparticles (NPs) denoted AGuIX (activation and guiding of irradiation by X-ray) NPs and demonstrated their potential as an MRI contrast agent and their efficacy as radiosensitizing particles during X-ray cancer treatment. Here we focus on the elimination kinetics of AGuIX NPs from the subcellular to whole-organ scale using original and complementary methods such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), intravital two-photon microscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). This combination of techniques allows the exact mechanism of AGuIX NPs elimination to be elucidated, including their retention in proximal tubules and their excretion as degraded or native NPs. Finally, we demonstrated that systemic AGuIX NP administration induced moderate and transient effects on renal function. These results provide useful and promising preclinical information concerning the safety of theranostic AGuIX NPs.
A totally automated system for the detection and classification of neural spikes (1988)

A system for neural spike detection and classification is presented which does not require a priori assumptions about spike shape or timing. The system is divided into two parts: a learning subsystem and a real-time detection and classification subsystem. The learning subsystem, comprising of feature learning phase and a template learning phase, extracts templates for each separate spike class. The real-time detection and classification subsystems identifies spikes in the noisy neural trace and sorts them into classes, based on the templates and the statistics of the background noise. Comparisons are made among three different schemes for the real-time detection and classification subsystem. Performance of the system is illustrated by using it to classify spikes in segments of neural activity recorded from monkey motor cortex and from guinea pig and ferret auditory cortexes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
