Modelling and Stability of a Single-Shaft Combined Cycle Power Plant (2007)

The subject of this paper is the development of a dynamic model for a single-shaft combined cycle plant and the analysis of its response to electrical load and frequency transients. In particular the stability of the frequency control, as well as the implications of overheat control are investigated. The model is developed in the Simulink environment of Matlab as part of an educational and research simulation package for autonomous and interconnected systems.
Glioblastomas are composed of genetically divergent clones with distinct tumourigenic potential and variable stem cell-associated phenotypes (2013)

Glioblastoma (GBM) is known to be a heterogeneous disease; however, the genetic composition of the cells within a given tumour is only poorly explored. In the advent of personalised medicine the understanding of intra-tumoural heterogeneity at the cellular and the genetic level is mandatory to improve treatment and clinical outcome. By combining ploidy-based flow sorting with array-comparative genomic hybridization we show that primary GBMs present as either mono- or polygenomic tumours (64 versus 36%, respectively). Monogenomic tumours were limited to a pseudodiploid tumour clone admixed with normal stromal cells, whereas polygenomic tumours contained multiple tumour clones, yet always including a pseudodiploid population. Interestingly, pseudodiploid and aneuploid fractions carried the same aberrations as defined by identical chromosomal breakpoints, suggesting that evolution towards aneuploidy is a late event in GBM development. Interestingly, while clonal heterogeneity could be recapitulated in spheroid-based xenografts, we find that genetically distinct clones displayed different tumourigenic potential. Moreover, we show that putative cancer stem cell markers including CD133, CD15, A2B5 and CD44 were present on genetically distinct tumour cell populations. These data reveal the clonal heterogeneity of GBMs at the level of DNA content, tumourigenic potential and stem cell marker expression, which is likely to impact glioma progression and treatment response. The combined knowledge of intra-tumour heterogeneity at the genetic, cellular and functional level is crucial to assess treatment responses and to design personalized treatment strategies for primary GBM.
Human NCI-H295 adrenocortical carcinoma cells: a model for angiotensin-II-responsive aldosterone secretion. (1993)

Excessive secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal results in the most common form of endocrine hypertension. An understanding of the regulatory processes involved in aldosterone synthesis and release is needed to define the biomolecular mechanisms controlling excessive production of aldosterone. However, in vitro studies regarding the regulatory mechanisms of human aldosterone production have been limited because of difficulties in obtaining tissue and the subsequent isolation of aldosterone-secreting glomerulosa cells. Herein we describe an adrenocortical carcinoma cell line, NCI-H295, which provides a suitable angiotensin-II (AII)-responsive model system to investigate the acute and chronic regulation of aldosterone synthesis. The cells were characterized with regard to the effects of AII on second messenger systems, aldosterone release, and levels of aldosterone synthase (P450c18) mRNA. In the presence of lithium, AII caused a rapid, but transient, increase in the production of inositol tris- and bisphosphates, whereas a prolonged gradual accumulation of inositol monophosphate occurred. Treatment with AII resulted in a 4.5-fold increase in total inositol phosphates in a concentration-dependent manner and an increase in intracellular cytoplasmic free Ca2+. Significant increases in aldosterone (3.5-fold) were detected within 1 h of AII addition. Aldosterone release occurred in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. The type 1 AII (AT1) receptor was shown to be responsible for activation of phosphoinositidase-C, increased intracellular free Ca2+, and aldosterone production, as determined by use of the AT1 receptor antagonist DuP753. In addition, AII treatment resulted in a time-dependent increase in levels of P450c18 mRNA, as detected by RNAse protection assay. In summary, NCI-H295 cells provide a valuable model system to define mechanisms regulating human aldosterone production.

Laser confirmation of SEU experiments in GaAs MESFET combinational logic (for space application) (1992)

Majority vote and self-scrubbing circuitry were utilized to harden the registers of a GaAs logic circuit to single event upsets (SEUs). Ion beam testing of the hardened part at low scrub frequencies showed fewer system upsets than that of an unhardened part. At high frequencies, the upset rate increased with frequency, indicating a clock-dependent SEU sensitive node. A pulsed laser was used to identify an input node in the self-scrubbing circuitry as being the source of the upsets at high frequencies. Because the node was only sensitive for a short duration prior to the rising clock edge, more clock-edge-dependent SEUs could occur at higher frequencies. The relative SEU thresholds of the registers and the input node measured with the laser showed excellent agreement with ion data. All single-point SEU failure nodes were identified and their upset thresholds measured. With this information it was possible to redesign the circuit to reduce its sensitivity to SEU at high scrub frequencies.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Temporal coverage based content distribution in heterogeneous smart device networks (2015)

The present work studies content distribution in heterogeneous smart device networks, in which all smartphones/ tablets can communicate through proximity channels such as Bluetooth/NFC/Wi-Fi Direct when they are in proximity, but only some devices have the cellular data communication capability. In the context of recent applications of content distribution in smart device networks such as mobile offloading and enterprise network defense prioritization, we propose a temporal coverage based scheme that exploits nodes' encounter regularity and content's delivery delay tolerance to reduce content delivery costs. Using kernel-density estimation (KDE) on the readily available proximity encounter records, we propose a network structural property, T-covering set, and a corresponding localized algorithm that distributedly elects a T-covering set from the underlying network. Using real Bluetooth encounter traces, we demonstrate that temporal coverage based content distribution using T-covering set can significantly reduce content delivery cost with minimal delay and no sacrifice in coverage.
NoSQ: Store-Load Communication without a Store Queue (2006)

This paper presents NoSQ (short for no store queue), a microarchitecture that performs store-load communication without a store queue and without executing stores in the out-of-order engine. NoSQ implements store-load communication using speculative memory bypassing (SMB), the dynamic short-circuiting of DEF-store-load-USE chains to DEF-USE chains. Whereas previous proposals used SMB as an opportunistic complement to conventional store queue-based forwarding, NoSQ uses SMB as a store queue replacement. NoSQ relies on two supporting mechanisms. The first is an advanced store-load bypassing predictor that for a given dynamic load can predict whether that load will bypass and the identity of the communicating store. The second is an efficient verification mechanism for both bypassed and non-bpyassed loads using in-order load re-execution with an SMB-aware store vulnerability window (SVW) filter. The primary benefit of NoSQ is a simple, fast datapath that does not contain store-load forwarding hardware; all loads get their values either from the data cache or from the register file. Experiments show that this simpler design - despite being more speculative - slightly outperforms a conventional store-queue based design on most benchmarks (by 2% on average)
Resistance anomalies in superconducting mesoscopic Al structures (1998)

We present a detailed study of the recently reported resistance peaks close to the superconducting transition of quasi-one-dimensional mesoscopic Al structures. It is found that the anomalies can be induced by radio-frequency irradiation or by applying sufficiently high dc currents. The nonmonotonic resistance curves are correlated with excess voltages in the voltage-current characteristics close to the critical current and depend strongly on the temperature and the magnetic field. The experimental results can be qualitatively understood in terms of charge imbalance around phase-slip centers which nucleate at particular spots in the sample with a locally reduced transition temperature.

Comparison of oncogene mutation detection and telomerase activity for the molecular staging of non-small cell lung cancer. (1997)

Novel oncogene mutation detection techniques have demonstrated that standard histopathological examination may fail to detect clinically significant metastatic cancer cells. Recently, telomerase activity has been detected in most immortal cell lines and human tumors, potentially providing a novel diagnostic marker. We compared standard histopathological examination with the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay and either a p53 plaque hybridization or a K-ras mutation ligation assay in the lymph nodes of 12 patents with surgically resectable non-small cell lung cancer. Telomerase activity was detected in 10 of 10 (100%) evaluable tumors. Eight of 9 (89%) histopathologically positive lymph nodes were telomerase positive, and 26 of 48 (54%) histopathologically negative lymph nodes were telomerase positive. In comparison, oligonucleotide plaque hybridization detected metastases in all 3 histopathologically positive nodes and in 3 of 27 histopathologically negative nodes. Similarly, the K-ras mutation ligation assay detected metastases in all 6 histopathologically positive lymph nodes examined and in 1 of 21 histopathologically negative lymph nodes. Thus, most of the "positive" nodes by telomerase assay did not harbor occult neoplastic cells that shared the same genetic alteration as the primary tumor. The high rate of false positives associated with the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay limits its role in staging lymph nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Culture Conditions for the Mycelial Growth of<i>Ganoderma applanatum</i> (2009)

Ganoderma applanatum is one of the most popular medicinal mushrooms due to the various biologically active components it produces. This study was conducted to obtain basic information regarding the mycelial culture conditions of Ganoderma applanatum. Based on the colony diameter and mycelial density, PDA, YMA and MCM media were suitable for the mycelial growth of the mushroom. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was found to be 25~30℃. The optimum carbon and nitrogen sources were mannose and dextrin, respectively, and the optimum C/N ratio was 2 to 10 when 2% glucose was used. Other minor components required for the optimal growth included thiamine-HCl and biotin as vitamins, succinic acid and lactic acid as organic acids, and MgSO4·7H2O, KH2PO4 and NaCl as mineral salts.

A 3-D string figure display system for animating cat's cradle game (2002)

Implements a display system for cat's cradle game animation in 3D. The input to our system, finger actions, originates from a user. Based on this input, we animate the finger actions and display an operated pattern of string figures. A stabilizing procedure is in charge of obtaining a stable state of the string figures. Processing string figures on a computer is difficult, since the string's dynamics are still unknown. Our system uses a set-of-crossings representation method for processing string figures. We employ some local transformations of the string figures to stabilize them. Furthermore, topological characteristics of the string figures can be observed.

Simulation of Symmetrical Induction Machinery (1965)

The effectiveness of an analog computer in studying the performance of induction machinery is demonstrated with computer results which show the dynamic behavior of 2-phase and 3-phase machines during balanced and unbalanced operation. The computer simulation for these various modes of operation is conveniently obtained from the equations which describe the symmetrical induction machine in an arbitrary reference frame. Of particular interest is the representation which is used to simulate the opening and closing of a stator phase. This simulation would be useful in studying the performance of the induction machine when used in conjunction with electronic switching devices. The examples which are given can be used directly, or in a slightly modified form, to study various practical problems. Also, these examples should serve as guideposts in selecting the best reference frame or the best combination of reference frames to be used in the computer simulation of systems which have more than one machine.

Mass log data processing and mining based on Hadoop and cloud computing (2012)

With the rapid development of the Internet, SaaS applications delivered as services through internet become an important alternative of traditional software. While using the services, users need real time usage information, and they also need to dig out useful knowledge. As a result, data processing and data mining techniques are designed to cope with such problems, and using log data is an effective method to record the SaaS usage information in a standard format. However, as the size of data grows, traditional distributed log data processing systems are not able to processing massive log data from SaaS applications with millions of users. This paper proposes a mass log data processing and data mining methods based on Hadoop to achieve scalability and performance. The model, process, architecture, and implementation of the data processing and mining methods are proposed, and the experimental results is shown and analyzed to prove the effectiveness of the methods.

Towards a software development kit for motion synthesis in virtual worlds (2002)

This paper reports on Move3D, a software platform, dedicated to collision-free path planning in virtual worlds. The goal of Move3D is to address generic multipurpose applications with the same software, ranging from logistics in industrial installation to character animation, via game design. The algorithms are based on probabilistic approaches and take advantage of the progress of the computer performance. The generality comes from a dedicated software architecture allowing a rapid design of path planners.
The Evolution of Sex Chromosomes (1991)

Structurally distinct sex chromosomes (X and Y) are the most familiar mode of genetic sex determination and have evolved independently in many different taxa. The evolutionary paths by which their characteristic properties may have evolved are reviewed. These properties include the failure of X and Y to recombine through much or all of their length, the genetic inertness of much of the Y chromosome, dosage compensation of the activity of X chromosomal loci, and the accumulation of repeated DNA sequences on the Y chromosome.
Renotropic functions of hepatocyte growth factor in renal regeneration after unilateral nephrectomy. (1991)

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a most potent growth factor for mature hepatocytes may act as a trigger for liver regeneration. We reported that HGF strongly stimulates DNA synthesis of rabbit renal tubular cells in secondary culture (Igawa, T., Kanda, S., Kanetake, H., Saitoh, Y., Ichihara, A., Tomita, Y., and Nakamura, T. (1991) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 174, 831-838). To investigate whether or not HGF is involved in renal regeneration, we examined changes in HGF mRNA, HGF activity, and HGF receptor in the rat kidney following unilateral nephrectomy or treatment with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). In the intact kidney, the HGF mRNA increased markedly reaching a maximum 6 h after unilateral nephrectomy, followed by an increase of HGF activity at 12 h after the surgery. The marked increase in HGF mRNA and HGF activity was also found in the kidney of rats treated with CCl4. Results of in situ hybridization suggested that cells producing HGF in the kidney are endothelial cells. The number of HGF receptors on renal plasma membranes decreased to 30% of the normal value 12 h after unilateral nephrectomy, with no change in the Kd value. The HGF receptor was greatly diminished 24 h after the operation, and recovery to 60% of the normal level was evident 1 week after the operation. Because the decrease in HGF binding may result from internalization of the HGF receptor, the HGF may bind to its receptor in vivo and act as a mitogen for renal epithelial cells. HGF may function as a renotropic factor during renal regeneration after kidney injury.
