Dehydrooligopeptides. XI. Facile Syntheses of Various Kinds of Dehydrodi- and tripeptides, and Dehydroenkephalins Containing <i>Δ</i>Tyr Residue by Using <i>N</i>-Carboxydehydrotyrosine Anhydride (1989)

Abstract Several kinds of N-free and protected N-carboxydehydrotyrosine anhydride (ΔTyr·NCA) derivatives, derived by both the cyclization of the corresponding N-benzyloxycarbonyldehydrotyrosine derivatives and the protection of the resulting ΔNCA, were employed for a one-pot dehydrooligopeptide (DHP) synthesis. As a result, various kinds of DHPs with a wide variety of combinations of sequences could be synthesized in fairly good yields. In addition, by utilizing the obtained information, two kinds of leucine-dehydroenkephalins containing a ΔTyr1 and both ΔTyr1 and ΔPhe4 residues were also synthesized.

Origin of replication from Xenopus laevis mitochondrial DNA promotes high-frequency transformation of yeast. (1981)

A specific fraction of chromosomal DNA from both yeast and a wide variety of other eukaryotes, but not from Escherichia coli, promotes high-frequency transformation in yeast. The plasmids containing these sequences are maintained as extra-chromosomal molecules in transformed cells. These results suggest that similar or identical sequences are used for the initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes. To test this hypothesis, several foreign eukaryotic DNAs implicated directly or indirectly in the initiation of DNA replication have been examined for their ability to promote autonomous, extrachromosomal replication in yeast. Simian virus 40 DNA, amplified Xenopus laevis ribosomal DNA, X. laevis 5S ribosomal DNA, X. laevis mtDNA, and five different members of the Alu I family of human middle repetitive DNAs were cloned into the vector YIp5 and used to transform yeast. Of these DNAs, only Xenopus mtDNA promoted high-frequency transformation and extrachromosomal maintenance of YIp5 DNA. A 2.2-kilobase EcoRI fragment from the 17.4-kilobase mtDNA molecule was responsible for these activities. This fragment contains the sequence used for the initiation of replication in Xenopus mitochondria.

Possible causes of trace metallic contaminants in SIMOX and BESOI substrates (2002)

From reliability point of view, detailed studies on metallic contaminants in SIMOX and BESOI substrates are strongly required. However, a main cause of metallic contaminants in SIMOX or BESOI substrates has not been clarified yet. In this paper, we present our VPD-AAS chemical analysis data on an extremely small quantity of metallic elements (below the detection limits of SIMS) detected in various SIMOX (Tsoi=100-320 nm) and BESOI (Tsoi=1.5 /spl mu/m) substrates, and discuss possible causes of these trace metallic contaminants. These are concluded to be down to the wafer cleaning process and annealing.
Obesity-Related Alterations in Cardiac Lipid Profile and Nondipping Blood Pressure Pattern during Transition to Diastolic Dysfunction in Male db/db Mice (2012)

Obesity and a nondipping circadian blood pressure (BP) pattern are associated with diastolic dysfunction. Ectopic lipid accumulation is increasingly recognized as an important metabolic abnormality contributing to diastolic dysfunction. However, little is known about the contribution of different lipids and the composition of lipid analytes to diastolic dysfunction. We have performed functional and structural studies and analyzed cardiac lipid profile at two time points during progression to diastolic dysfunction in a genetic model of obesity. Serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and telemetric measures of BP between 12 and 15 wk of age in obese male db/db mice indicated a nondipping circadian BP pattern and normal diastolic function at 12 wk that progressed to a deteriorating nondipping pattern and onset of diastolic dysfunction at 15 wk of age. Lipidomic analysis demonstrated elevated fatty acids and ceramides in db/db at 12 wk, but their levels were decreased at 15 wk, and this was accompanied by persistent mitochondrial ultrastructural abnormalities in concert with evidence of increased fatty acid oxidation and enhanced production of reactive oxygen species. Triacylglyceride and diacylglyceride levels were elevated at both 12 and 15 wk, but their composition changed to consist of more saturated and less unsaturated fatty acyl at 15 wk. An increase in the lipid droplets was apparent at both time points, and this was associated with increases in phosphatidycholine. In conclusion, a distinct pattern of myocardial lipid remodeling, accompanied by oxidative stress, is associated with the onset of diastolic dysfunction in obese, insulin-resistant db/db mice.
DISPOSABLE, FINE MESH FILTER FOR BLOOD AND PLASMA (1948)

The earliest investigations into the properties of stored blood for purposes of transfusion clearly revealed the necessity for careful filtration of such material before use. That fibrin particles, clumps of white blood cells or disintegrated platelets, and even small blood clots were to be expected in blood stored over a relatively few hours was quickly apparent.<sup>1</sup>However, a few deaths with multiple pulmonary emboli from this material were reported before the extreme importance of adequate filtration of stored blood and plasma was fully appreciated. A common method of filtration in the early days was that of simply pouring the blood through several layers of ordinary sterile gauze<sup>.</sup>This method, of course, was clumsy, open to contamination and inadequate in removing small particulate matter. Furthermore, considerable cotton lint was always added to the filtrate. Undoubtedly, many of the so-called pyrogenic reactions to transfusions in the early days of blood storage
<title>Polarization dependence and uniformity of FLC layers for phase modulation</title> (1991)

The authors present a general methodology for achieving any amount of pure phase modulation between 0 and 180 degrees by controlling the polarization of light used to address a given ferro-electric liquid crystal (FLC) material. Using this technique, an eight-state phase modulator made by cascading three FLC layers is demonstrated. Motivated by the need for predictable behavior within spatial light modulators (SLMs), experimental data characterizing the point by point spatial uniformity of an FLC device used for 0/90 degree phase modulation also is presented.

Reasons why Current Speech-Enhancement Algorithms do not Improve Speech Intelligibility and Suggested Solutions (2010)

Existing speech enhancement algorithms can improve speech quality but not speech intelligibility, and the reasons for that are unclear. In the present paper, we present a theoretical framework that can be used to analyze potential factors that can influence the intelligibility of processed speech. More specifically, this framework focuses on the fine-grain analysis of the distortions introduced by speech enhancement algorithms. It is hypothesized that if these distortions are properly controlled, then large gains in intelligibility can be achieved. To test this hypothesis, intelligibility tests are conducted with human listeners in which we present processed speech with controlled speech distortions. The aim of these tests is to assess the perceptual effect of the various distortions that can be introduced by speech enhancement algorithms on speech intelligibility. Results with three different enhancement algorithms indicated that certain distortions are more detrimental to speech intelligibility degradation than others. When these distortions were properly controlled, however, large gains in intelligibility were obtained by human listeners, even by spectral-subtractive algorithms which are known to degrade speech quality and intelligibility.
Successful use of cuffed central venous hemodialysis catheters inserted percutaneously. (1994)

Although endogenous fistulae and grafts are preferred for permanent hemodialysis access, central venous catheters are often required for varying intervals when creating permanent access is not feasible. The prospective experience with 118 catheters in over a 3.5-yr period is reported; 93 (79%) were placed by percutaneous techniques, and 25 (21%) were placed by operative techniques. Seventy seven catheters (65%) were placed in the subclavian vein, 36 (31%) were placed in the internal jugular vein (usually right side), and 5 (4%) were placed in the femoral vein. Early postplacement complications were infrequent. Catheter function at last local follow-up ranged from several days to nearly 2 yr, averaging approximately 3 mo, even though many patients returned to their referring centers with a functioning catheter after only a short follow-up. Actuarial survival for percutaneously placed catheters was approximately 60% at 6 mo and 30% at 12 mo. Catheter failure occurred in 36% of cases, equally divided between malfunction (thrombosis refractory to fibrinolysis, extrusion, kinking, or related event) and infection with septicemia requiring removal. Such failure was not more frequent after percutaneous placement than after operative placement. Failure due to mechanical malfunction, but not that due to infection, tended to be less frequent among catheters placed in the internal jugular vein than among catheters placed in the subclavian vein. Finally, infection with septicemia involved 22% of all catheters and occurred at an average cumulated rate of approximately one infection per patient-year. Coagulase-positive staphylococcus was the most common organism isolated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Permeability of Model Stratum Corneum Lipid Membrane Measured Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance (2009)

The stratum corneum (SC) is the outermost layer of the epidermis. Stacked intercellular lipid membranes found in the SC play a crucial role in regulating water transport through the skin. Despite the importance of this role of the SC lipid membranes, only a few studies have presented quantitative methods to measure the permeability of water in SC lipid membranes. In this work, we present a new method to determine the water permeability of a model SC lipid membrane using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). We investigate a model SC lipid membrane comprising an equimolar mixture of brain ceramide (CER), cholesterol (CHO), and palmitic acid (PA), and use QCM to determine the diffusivity (D), solubility (S,) and permeability (P) of water vapor in the model SC lipid membrane.
Predicting local and distant metastasis for breast cancer patients using the Bayesian neural network (2002)

This paper presents a predictive accuracy comparison between the multivariate logistic regression (MLR) and the Bayesian neural network (BNN). The latter is presented in this paper as an alternative to the MLR (MLR). The MLR and BNN have been used to identify early breast cancer patients with high risk of tumour recurrence at the time of initial resection.
Alcohol-induced pancreatic injury (Part I). Unexplained features and ductular theories of pathogenesis. (1989)

The pathogenesis of alcoholic pancreatitis continues to be a puzzle. Classical theories of pathogenesis tend to overlook the dual nature of the disease, i.e., symptomatic acute attacks and chronic progressive parenchymal destruction. Furthermore, it is unknown why only a small minority of alcoholics develop clinical pancreatic injury. In addition, there is a lack of basic data concerning the natural history of the condition after cessation of alcohol consumption. The most widely accepted theory of pathogenesis postulates the deposition of protein plugs in peripheral pancreatic ducts as the initial lesion. However, it has not been established that these plugs are the cause rather than a result of pancreatic injury. The so-called "Big Duct" theories of pathogenesis (biliary-pancreatic reflux, duodeno-pancreatic reflux, and obstruction-hypersecretion) are confounded by a lack of agreement concerning the effect of alcohol on the sphincter of Oddi. Nutritional factors and heredity may be responsible for the selectivity of alcohol in this condition; in this regard, a number of dietary and HLA studies have been performed, but these have generally been inadequately controlled. Subcellular pancreatic injury (fat droplets, autophagic vacuoles, and mitochondrial lesions) has been observed in alcoholics without pancreatitis and in animals fed alcohol. In addition, ethanol feeding in animals has been shown to affect pancreatic cholesterol, phospholipid, and fatty acid metabolism as well as pancreatic content of digestive enzymes. Research is hampered by the lack of a suitable animal model of the disease.
Automatic exposure compensation for line detection applications (2008)

The detection of lines in an image is an important task. In spite of the numerous research papers that have been published on line extraction, there is a lack of real-world applications relating to coping with illumination changes in scenes. This paper provides an automatic exposure compensation scheme that transforms images under unknown illumination conditions into images that can be used as the best preprocessing data for line detection. Our method is tested on gray level frames captured from the camera where the exposure parameter is changed continuously. Among these frames, the image with the best contrast is selected based on the image entropy. We then apply contrast stretching to transform this poorly illuminated image into one that has better visibility. Afterwards, the Canny edge detection algorithm is applied to obtain the input for the standard Hough transform, which is the line extraction algorithm. Furthermore, our system detects lines in real-time, so it is suitable for many real-world applications.
Vehicle suspension model and dynamic simulation on handling stability (2010)

Chassis platform is usually supplied for several types of cars which has their individual requirement for handling stability and ride comfort. Therefore the stiffness, damping and the dimension of the guide mechanism of the suspension have to be adjusted to meet the different performance requirements of different styles of cars. In this paper a module exclusively for handling stability analysis of chassis platform is developed based on ADAMS/Car. With this module chassis engineers can easily adjust the parameters of suspension such as spring stiffness, damping and hard points location to match the front and rear suspension suitably and then predict and optimize the performance of the suspension system. By this approach different types of cars that using chassis platform can fulfill their own handling stability.
Monte Carlo analysis of inverse problems (2002)

Monte Carlo methods have become important in analysis of nonlinear inverse problems where no analytical expression for the forward relation between data and model parameters is available, and where linearization is unsuccessful. In such cases a direct mathematical treatment is impossible, but the forward relation materializes itself as an algorithm allowing data to be calculated for any given model. Monte Carlo methods can be divided into two categories: the sampling methods and the optimization methods. Monte Carlo sampling is useful when the space of feasible solutions is to be explored, and measures of resolution and uncertainty of solution are needed. The Metropolis algorithm and the Gibbs sampler are the most widely used Monte Carlo samplers for this purpose, but these methods can be refined and supplemented in various ways of which the neighbourhood algorithm is a notable example. Monte Carlo optimization methods are powerful tools when searching for globally optimal solutions amongst numerous local optima. Simulated annealing and genetic algorithms have shown their strength in this respect, but they suffer from the same fundamental problem as the Monte Carlo sampling methods: no provably optimal strategy for tuning these methods to a given problem has been found, only a number of approximate methods.
Miniaturized UWB Monopole Microstrip Antenna Design by the Combination of Giusepe Peano and Sierpinski Carpet Fractals (2011)

A fractal monopole antenna is proposed for the application in the UWB frequency range, which is designed by the combination of two fractal geometries. The first iterations of Giusepe Peano fractal are applied on the edges of a square patch, and a Sierpinski Carpet fractal is formed on its surface. The feed circuit is a microstrip line with a matching section over a semi-elliptical ground plane. The presented antenna has an omnidirectional radiation pattern, a good gain, and high efficiency. The fabrication and measurement data attest to the satisfaction of the design specifications.
Improved protein identification using a species-specific protein/peptide database derived from expressed sequence tags (2011)

The use of peptide mass fingerprinting data obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry in conjunction with protein database searching is a fast, high-throughput method that is widely used to identify proteins in a proteome. The success of a search is limited, however, by the number of proteins represented in the database. When the fully sequenced genome of an organism is not available, cross-species databases are usually used, which can compromise the reliability of the results. Databases containing expressed sequence tag sequences are available and are potentially invaluable resources for proteomic studies. For the study reported herein, we developed a proteomic approach that incorporates a species-specific protein/peptide database constructed from expressed sequence tag sequences, and we validated this approach by accurately retrieving proteins from this database that matched, on the basis of the masses of their in silico-generated tryptic peptides, experimentally isolated proteins derived from a wheat stem proteome. We also compared the results obtained using the wheat database with those obtained using the same peptide mass fingerprints and a cross-species protein database search. Given the reliability of the results and the improved scoring obtained with the wheat database study in comparison with the cross-species database study, species-specific databases derived from expressed sequence tags may replace cross-species databases for proteomic studies involving organisms for which a completely sequenced genome is unavailable.
An Experimental Study of Speech-Wave Probability Distributions (1952)

Measurements were made of the first-probability distribution and of various conditional probability distributions of the speech wave instantaneous amplitude. Results obtained for several speakers indicate that the first-probability distribution varies exponentially with large values of amplitude and that increases in the conditional probabilities are noted for delay times of the order of magnitude of the pitch period. Measurements were also made of the first-probability distribution of the duration of the speech-wave zero-crossing periods, and of the auto-correlation function of clipped speech. These measurements were of the stationary, or “long-time,” speech-wave probability distributions. Most of the results are for speech waves recorded in an anechoic chamber. Some results are included for voices recorded in a live studio.
