Goniospectrophotometric analysis of pressed PTFE powder for use as a primary transfer standard (1988)

Pressed polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder, pressed BaSO(4), and Russian opal glass were evaluated as possible reflectance factor standards for goniospectrophotometry. Pressed PTFE was chosen based on reflectance properties, ease of preparation, durability, availability, and cost. A method of preparation was developed which combined the most Lambertian behavior with high reproducibility. Several of these PTFE preparations were then measured goniospectrophotometrically to provide a set of data which would sufficiently define the bidirectional spectral reflectance factors for use as a transfer standard for nonstandard instrumental geometries.
Design and control of a compact modular robot for transbronchial lung biopsy (2019)

Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and deadly forms of cancer, claiming more than 154,000 lives in the USA per year. Accurate targeting and biopsy of pulmonary abnormalities is key for early diagnosis and successful treatment. Many cancerous lesions originate in the peripheral regions of the lung which are not directly accessible from the bronchial tree, thereby requiring percutaneous approaches to collect biopsies, which carry a higher risk of pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and death in extreme cases. In prior work, our group proposed a concept for accessing the peripheral lung through the airways, via a bronchscope deployed steerable needle. In this paper, we present a more compact, modular, multi-stage robot, designed to deploy a steerable needle through a standard flexible bronchoscope, to retrieve biopsies from lesions in the peripheral regions of the lung. The robot has several stages that can control a steerable biopsy needle, as well as concentric tubes, which act as an aiming conduit. The functionality of this robot is demonstrated via closed-loop lesion targeting in a CT scanner. The steerable needle is controlled using a previously proposed sliding mode controller, based on feedback from a magnetic tracker embedded in the steerable needle's tip. Towards developing a clinically viable platform, this system builds on prior work through its modular, compact form factor, and workflow-conscious design that provides precise homing and the ability to interchange tools as needed.
Annotation and comparative analysis of the glycoside hydrolase genes in Brachypodium distachyon (2010)

This work provides the foundation for further comparative and functional analyses of plant glycoside hydrolases. Defining the Brachypodium glycoside hydrolases sets the stage for Brachypodium to be a grass model for investigations of these enzymes and their diverse roles in planta. Insights gained from Brachypodium will inform translational research studies, with applications for the improvement of cereal crops and bioenergy grasses.
Exploiting full duplex for device-to-device communications in heterogeneous networks (2015)

In this article, we discuss full duplex for heterogenous networks that accommodate the coexistence of device-to-device communications. The short link distance and lower transmit power of device-to-device communications make them excellent candidates to exploit full duplex inband transmission. By incorporating power allocation for self-interference cancellation based on antenna isolation, analog cancellation, and digital cancellation, full-duplex device-to-device, FD-D2D, nodes can potentially improve spectrum efficiency in HetNets. We provide a comprehensive overview on FD-D2D communications in Het-Nets. Additionally, we identify several challenges, provide potential solutions to interference mitigation based on power control, beamforming, and resource scheduling, and further discuss applications of FD in 5G networks.

Fluid Dynamics for Physicists (1995)

It is over three hundred and fifty years since Torricelli discovered the law obeyed by fountains, yet fluid dynamics remains an active and important branch of physics. This book provides an accessible and comprehensive account of the subject, emphasising throughout the fundamental physical principles, and stressing the connections with other branches of physics. Beginning with a gentle introduction, the book goes on to cover Bernouilli's theorem, compressible flow, potential flow, surface waves, viscosity, vorticity dynamics, thermal convection and instabilities, turbulence, non-Newtonian fluids and the propagation and attenuation of sound in gases. Undergraduate or graduate students in physics or engineering who are taking courses in fluid dynamics will find this book invaluable, but it will also be of great interest to anyone who wants to find out more about this fascinating subject.
A Spin Trap, N-<i>tert</i>-Butyl-α-phenylnitrone Extends the Life Span of Mice (1998)

To characterize the pharmacological effects of N-tert-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone (PBN) on life span, we administered PBN in drinking water to 24.5-month-old mice, and the survivors were counted. Their water consumption and body weights were measured as biological markers. PBN-treated animals as compared with control animals had prolonged mean and maximum life spans. Their water consumption decreased but no significant change was found in their body weights, indicating that the metabolism was improved. Results showed that PBN indeed affects physiological functions and extends life span. We propose that nitric oxide release from PBN may be involved in altering the aging process.
Detection of Heteroresistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Pyrosequencing (2013)

The ability of pyrosequencing to detect a resistant minority population of a heteroresistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain was investigated by performing a titration study. A mutant signal was noted only when the proportion of mutant DNA in the DNA target was 35 to 50%, showing that the sensitivity is significantly lower than that of phenotypic drug susceptibility test methods.
Analysis of cucurbitacins in medicinal plants by high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (2000)

HPLC–MS (electrospray ionization or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) was applied to the analysis of cucurbitacins in medicinal plants. High molecular weight plant constituents were separated from cucurbitacins by gel chromatography of the crude methanolic extracts. HPLC was performed on a Zorbax SB-C-18 column using a 0.01% trifluoroacetic acid:acetonitrile gradient and diode array detection. The method described was sensitive, and its applicability was demonstrated through the determination of cucurbitacins in a number of medicinal plants such as Citrullus colocynthis (Cucurbitaceae), Bryonia cretica ssp. dioica (Cucurbitaceae), Gratiola officinalis (Scrophulariaceae), Picrorhiza kurroa (Scrophulariaceae) and Iberis umbellata (Brassicaceae).

Chondrocyte integrin expression and function (2000)

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an "information rich" environment and interactions between the chondrocyte and ECM regulate many biological processes important to cartilage homeostasis and repair including cell attachment, growth, differentiation, and survival. The integrin family of cell surface receptors appears to play a major role in mediating cell-matrix interactions that are important in regulating these processes. Chondrocytes have been found to express several members of the integrin family which can serve as receptors for fibronectin (alpha 5 beta 1), types II and VI collagen (alpha 1 beta 1, alpha 2 beta 1, alpha 10 beta 1), laminin (alpha 6 beta 1), and vitronectin and osteopontin (alpha V beta 3). Integrin expression can be regulated by growth factors including IGF-I and TGF-beta. By providing a link between the ECM and the cytoskeleton, integrins may be important transducers of mechanical stimuli. Integrin binding stimulates intracellular signaling which can affect gene expression and regulate chondrocyte function. Further studies are needed to more clearly define the role of integrins in cartilage.
Accurate Leg Length Measurement in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Comparison of Computer Navigation and a Simple Manual Measurement Device (2014)

Annealing effect in Si-doped GaAs and AlGaAs layers grown by MBE (1986)

The effect of annealing on Si-doped GaAs and Al0·3Ga0·7As layers grown by MBE has been studied. In the heavily doped samples, the donor concentration decreased considerably and the broad luminescence characteristic of the SA centre reported in bulk n-GaAs appeared. The results suggest evidence that annealing converts some of the Si donors into complexes like the SA centre, which does not act as a donor.
Modelling and Simulation of Attacking Process of Broad-band Anti-radiation Missiles (2009)

The attacking process of anti-radiation missiles (ARM) was analyzed, including atmospheric radiation transmission, signal capturing, signal processing, direction finding as well as guidance of missile. Detailed models were given for each part. Based on the models, a simulation platform was implemented using Matlab to facilitate the analysis of attacking effects of ARMs. The system allowed the user to set relevant parameters of radiation source, including radiation frequency, radiation power, location, working modes, etc. via graphic user interface. The system could be used to study more complex strategies of multiple point-sources counteracting ARM.
Structure-property relationships of injection- and compression-molded microfibrillar-reinforced PET/PA-6 composites (2000)

Structure-property relationships of injection- and compression-molded microfibrillar-reinforced PET/PA-6 blends with different weight ratio of the components have been studied. The blends were prepared by melt mixing using a single-screw extruder. Thermal, X-ray (WAXS), morphological, and static mechanical studies of the bulk samples were carried out in order to determine an optimum processing window. The upper processing temperature was established by the onset of the melting of the fibrillized PET component in the blend. Morphological studies of the injection-molded samples indicate skin-core morphology. The skin layer is composed of fibrils that are well oriented along the flow axis. The core region is composed of a small amount of randomly oriented, fibrillar PET bundles, as well as a large amount of spherical PET domains in the isotropic PA-6 matrix. SEM observations of the fracture surface of compression-molded samples show well-extended PET fibrils embedded in an isotropic PA-6 matrix. The reason for this significant difference in the morphology of the samples is the fact that in the case of compression molding it is possible to keep very accurately the desired processing temperature in a quite narrow interval. On the other hand, an overheating of the system due to non-isothermal shear and a viscosity dissipation are the main reasons for the melting of a part of the PET fibrils and their transformation into spherical domains in the core of the injection-molded samples. The morphology strongly affects the tensile properties of the bulk samples. Compared to the values of injection-molded neat PA-6, the elastic modulus and the strength of injection-molded MFC (Microfibrillar reinforced composites) blends have been increased by a factor of 2.5 and 1.7, respectively. In the case of compression-molded samples, both modulus and strength were about four times higher than those of the neat PA-6. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Adv Polym Techn 19: 249–259, 2000

Resistant Hypertension Workup and Approach to Treatment (2010)

Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure above the patient's goal despite the use of 3 or more antihypertensive agents from different classes at optimal doses, one of which should ideally be a diuretic. Evaluation of patients with resistive hypertension should first confirm that they have true resistant hypertension by ruling out or correcting factors associated with pseudoresistance such as white coat hypertension, suboptimal blood pressure measurement technique, poor adherence to prescribed medication, suboptimal dosing of antihypertensive agents or inappropriate combinations, the white coat effect, and clinical inertia. Management includes lifestyle and dietary modification, elimination of medications contributing to resistance, and evaluation of potential secondary causes of hypertension. Pharmacological treatment should be tailored to the patient's profile and focus on the causative pathway of resistance. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite receiving an optimal therapy are candidates for newer interventional therapies such as carotid baroreceptor stimulation and renal denervation.
Virtualization: Concepts, Applications, and Performance Modeling. (2005)

Virtualization was invented more than thirty years ago to allow large expensive mainframes to be easily shared among different application environments. As hardware prices went down, the need for virtualization faded away. More recently, virtualization at all levels (system, storage, and network) became important again as a way to improve system security, reliability and availability, reduce costs, and provide greater flexibility. This paper explains the basics of system virtualization and addresses performance issues related to modeling virtualized systems using analytic performance models. A case study on server consolidation is used to illustrate the points.

Robust Algorithm for Multimodal Deception Detection (2019)

Automatic deception detection from the video has gained a paramount of interest because of their applicability in various real-life applications. The recorded videos contain various information such as temporal variations of the face, linguistics and acoustics, which can be used together, to detect deception automatically. In this work, we proposed a new approach based on multimodal information like audio, linguistic (or text) and non-verbal features. The proposed multimodal deception detection framework is based on combining the decision from the audio, text and non-verbal features using majority voting. The proposed multimodal deception system is banked on the audio system based on Cepstral Coefficients (CC) and Spectral Regression Kernel Discriminant Analysis (SRKDA) of fixed length audio sequences. The text system is based on bag-of-n-grams features and the linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier while the non-verbal features are classified using the AdaBoost classifier. Extensive experiments are carried out on a publicly available real-life deception video dataset to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed scheme. The obtained results on a 25-cross-fold validation have indicated a deception detection accuracy of 97% out-performing both state-of-the-art techniques and human performance on the whole dataset.
Biological activity of kiwifruit peel extracts (2001)

Various bioactive substances in kiwifruit extracts were fractionated by organic solvent extractions, followed by silica gel and ODS chromatographies. Both cytotoxic activity and multi-drug resistance reversal activity were found in the less polar fractions. Cytotoxic activity was not always parallel the radical intensity. Antibacterial activity was distributed into various fractions and all fractions were inactive against Candida albicans and H. pylori. Only 70% methanol extracts showed anti-human immunodeficiency virus activity, and produced a broad ESR signal under alkaline conditions, in a fashion similar to lignin. These fractions also effectively scavenged O(2)(-) produced by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase reaction, suggesting a bimodal (pro-oxidant and antioxidant) action. These data suggest a medicinal efficacy of kiwifruit peel extracts.
Cancer testis antigen expression in gastrointestinal stromal tumors: New markers for early recurrence (2008)

Cancer testis antigens (CTAs) are expressed in a variety of malignant tumors but not in any normal adult tissues except germ cells and occasionally placenta. Because of this tumor-associated pattern of expression, CTAs are regarded as potential vaccine targets. The expression of CTAs in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) has not been analyzed systematically previously. The present study was performed to analyze the expression of CTA in GIST and to determine if CTA expression correlates with prognosis. Thirty-five GIST patients were retrospectively analyzed for their expression of CTAs by immunohistochemistry using the following monoclonal antibodies (mAb/antigen): MA454/MAGE-A1, M3H67/MAGE-A3, 57B/MAGE-A4, CT7-33/MAGE-C1 and E978/NY-ESO-1. Fourteen tumors (40%) expressed 1 or more of the 5 CTAs tested. Fourteen percent (n = 5/35) were positive for MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3 or MAGE-A4, respectively. Twenty-six percent (n = 9/35) stained positive for MAGE-C1 and 20% (n = 7/35) for NY-ESO-1. A highly significant correlation between CTA expression and tumor recurrence risk was observed (71% vs. 29%; p = 0.027). In our study population, the high-risk GIST expressed CTAs more frequently than low-risk GIST (p = 0.012). High-risk GISTs which stained positive for at least 1 CTA, recurred in 100% (n = 25) of the cases. This is the first study analyzing CTA expression in GIST and its prognostic value for recurrence. The CTA staining could add information to the individual patient prognosis and represent an interesting target for future treatment strategies.
