Detailed transport measurements were made of ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7\ensuremath{-}x}$ thin-film [001] tilt bicrystals with misorientation angles of 3\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 7\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 15\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, and 20\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, encompassing the angular regime where the transition from strong to weak coupling occurs. The study includes measurements of intragrain and intergrain extended voltage-current characteristics in applied magnetic fields that range from zero to well above the irreversibility field. The results show that the strong-to-weak coupling transition is progressive at 77 K, occurring at misorientation angles between 7\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} in zero field, and between 10\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 15\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} in higher magnetic fields. The shapes of the voltage-current characteristics of the 7\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} [001] bicrystals and the ratio of the inter- and intragranular critical current densities are particularly sensitive to individual sample preparation conditions, suggesting that substrate-film interdiffusion along the grain-boundary dislocations is controlling the effective size of the superconducting channels between the dislocation cores. The linear decline of the intergranular critical current density with misorientation angle predicted from present dislocation core overlap models is not found, showing that additional features of the grain-boundary nanostructure and the mechanism of intergranular current flow need to be invoked in order to explain transport across low-angle ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7\ensuremath{-}x}$ grain boundaries.
Passive protection against heterologous gram-negative bacteria mediated by antiserum to epimeraseless Rc mutant of Salmonella minnesota. (1983)

Antiserum to the epimeraseless Rc mutant of Salmonella minnesota was prepared by immunization of rabbits. The antiserum provided good protection in mice i.p. challenged with 125 and 25 LD50 doses of live heterologous Gram-negative bacteria i. e. S. typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The protection against Klebsiella pneumoniae was negligible. Pre-immune rabbit serum produced only marginal protection. The protective effect of S. minnesota Rc antibodies was entirely abolished upon absorption of Rc antiserum with homologous bacteria. Pre-immune and absorbed sera exhibited a similar protective effect at lower LD50 values, namely 5 and 1 LD50.
L‐6: <i>Late‐News Paper</i> : Development of the Novel Transflective LCD Module Using Super‐Fine‐TFT Technology (2006)

Abstract Adopting the new structure of planarization layer on the rough reflector and designing the new optical compensation with large cell gap margin, we developed the wide viewing angle transflective LCD module with our proprietary IPS technology (Super‐Fine‐TFT technology). After measuring the viewing‐angle characteristics, the developed transflective IPS‐LCD is shown to surpass the VA mode in the transmissive performance.
Antibodies reactive with cell surface carbohydrates. (1975)

Normal and immune sera from various animal species were fractionated on columns of Sepharose covalently coupled with the glycoprotein fetuin. Elution of the material bound to fetuin yielded low but reproducible amounts of protein, ranging from 0.02 to 0.2% of the protein mass of the input sera. This material has been identified by immunoelectrophoresis in agar and by zone electrophoresis on cellulose acetate as immunoglobulin. The Ig fractions bound and agglutinated erythrocytes of various species, and also bound to cells from various mouse tissues including heart, kidney, thymus, and spleen. In all cases, the binding was inhibited by glycoproteins such as fetuin and thyroglobulin, by a glycopeptide isolated from fetuin, and by some bacterial lipopolysaccharides. When the binding of these Ig fractions to mouse splenocytes was tested in the presence of 17 saccharides, no inhibition of binding was observed except by sialic acid, D-galactose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and D-mannose, all of which showed partial inhibition. Inasmuch as these four saccharides are present on the carbohydrate moiety of fetuin, the results suggest that the isolated material is a carbohydrate-specific Ig (CS-Ig) fraction of serum capable of binding to the carbohydrate portion of cell surface receptors and glycoproteins. When bound to lymphocytes, these CS-Ig molecules induced redistribution (patching and capping) of cell surface receptors. Moreover, the CS-Ig fractions from chicken and rabbit sera were weakly mitogenic for mouse splenic lymphocytes. CS-Ig fractions are useful new reagents for studying glycoproteins and the interactions and activities of cell surface carbohydrates.
Current immunosuppressant regimens: considerations for critical care (2001)

While current immunosuppressive drug regimens have significantly increased the rate of successful transplantation outcomes, they convey potentially serious and overlapping adverse effects. Cyclosporine and tacrolimus are the cornerstones of current immunosuppression, achieving excellent one-year renal graft survival rates. Other promising new drugs include sirolimus, which has been demonstrated to reduce efficacy failure rates among renal transplant recipients, and everolimus, which is currently undergoing clinical trials. Agents targeting novel sites in the immune response or disrupting the ischemia-reperfusion cascades are currently under development. Among them, only FTY720 is undergoing large-scale human clinical trials. With its unique mechanism of action and synergistic interactions with cyclosporine and sirolimus, it may provide the foundation for a new era in immunosuppression.

<i>Enterococcus faecalis</i>: In vitro Activity of Antimicrobial Drugs, Singly and Combined, with and without Defibrinated Human Blood, against High-Level-Gentamicin-Resistant Isolates (1993)

Teicoplanin (4 micrograms/ml) combined with 4 micrograms/ml of ampicillin, mezlocillin, and piperacillin, respectively, proved more efficacious than vancomycin (4 micrograms/ml) combined with the three beta-lactam antibiotics against three representative clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis that showed high-level-gentamicin resistance (HLGR). In the presence of 65% (v/v) of fresh defibrinated human blood, teicoplanin (4 micrograms/ml) alone afforded significant bactericidal activity, but failed to completely sterilize assay tube contents, whereas teicoplanin combined with any of the three beta-lactam antibiotics consistently and completely killed HLGR E. faecalis inocula.
Regulation of the Polarity Protein Par6 by TGFß Receptors Controls Epithelial Cell Plasticity (2005)

The transition of cells from an epithelial to a mesenchymal phenotype is a critical event during morphogenesis in multicellular organisms and underlies the pathology of many diseases, including the invasive phenotype associated with metastatic carcinomas. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) is a key regulator of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the molecular mechanisms that control the dissolution of tight junctions, an early event in EMT, remain elusive. We demonstrate that Par6, a regulator of epithelial cell polarity and tight-junction assembly, interacts with TGFbeta receptors and is a substrate of the type II receptor, TbetaRII. Phosphorylation of Par6 is required for TGFbeta-dependent EMT in mammary gland epithelial cells and controls the interaction of Par6 with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf1. Smurf1, in turn, targets the guanosine triphosphatase RhoA for degradation, thereby leading to a loss of tight junctions. These studies define how an extracellular cue signals to the polarity machinery to control epithelial cell morphology.

Optimizing dot graphics for volumetric displays (1997)

Discusses a dot-graphics plotting technique that allows a control system to read voxel data at a constant rate, despite the random-scan nature of the writing method. If we assume the data is arranged in consecutive slices, then the constrained 3D optimization problem reduces to a 2D one. In this article, we investigate and seek to optimize the efficiency with which the voxels within each slice are plotted, in order to reduce the memory requirements. Moreover, we consider the effect of changing the plotting order of the voxels within each slice to shorten the total beam path and thus the total time required to plot the voxels. This increases the total number of visible voxels displayed in the volume.
Selenium-Modified TiO<sub>2</sub>and Its Impact on Photocatalysis (2010)

This work describes the preparation of a selenium-modified TiO(2) photocatalyst and a preliminary evaluation of its photocatalytic activity. Se-TiO(2) displayed greater visible absorption than undoped TiO(2) and was still capable of degrading quinoline at a slightly faster rate than undoped TiO(2) under UV light. Se-TiO(2) was also able to degrade organic molecules under purely visible light by a single electron transfer pathway. Irradiation with >435 nm light showed no evidence of efficient production of HO•-like species. Se-TiO(2) was also examined under hypoxic conditions, where the Se atoms were capable of trapping photogenerated electrons as evidenced by XPS.
Modified nucleic acids: replication, evolution, and next-generation therapeutics (2020)

Modified nucleic acids, also called xeno nucleic acids (XNAs), offer a variety of advantages for biotechnological applications and address some of the limitations of first-generation nucleic acid therapeutics. Indeed, several therapeutics based on modified nucleic acids have recently been approved and many more are under clinical evaluation. XNAs can provide increased biostability and furthermore are now increasingly amenable to in vitro evolution, accelerating lead discovery. Here, we review the most recent discoveries in this dynamic field with a focus on progress in the enzymatic replication and functional exploration of XNAs.
A recombinant vaccinia virus expressing hepatitis A virus structural polypeptides: characterization and demonstration of protective immunogenicity (1991)

A recombinant vaccinia virus containing most of the P1 region of hepatitis A virus (HAV) was constructed. Cell lysates of cultures infected with the virus contained HAV proteins detectable by radioimmunoassay. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of a single protein of Mr 60K to 62K, bearing epitopes from structural polypeptides VP4, -3 and -2, and the N terminus of VP1. The size of the protein suggests that at least some of the vaccinia virus thymidine kinase is also expressed. Inoculation of tamarin monkeys with the recombinant virus resulted in the development of a specific anti-HAV immune response which was protective against challenge with a virulent strain of HAV. Recombinant viruses expressing the above region of HAV or the proteins expressed by such viruses may be useful in the development of a vaccine suitable for use in man.
A New Inchworm Mechanism With Hydrauilic Booster (2002)

Micro- and nanotechnology have been the cornerstones of many advanced products in recent years. Commercialization and mass production of these products require robots and positioning devices with nanometer precision and reasonable operational speed. High-speed nano-positioning devices can be used to increase productivity and reduce manufacturing cost in many areas including: optoelectronic fiber and lens assembly and positioning, biological cell manipulators, micro-machining, semiconductor manufacturing, and calibration of measurement instruments. In this paper, a new high-speed inchworm linear motor is introduced which employs a hydraulic booster to increase its operational speed without sacrificing the accuracy.
Inert Atmosphere Fluxless Brazing of Aluminum Heat Exchangers (1988)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Long Manufacturing uses a novel fluxless brazing process for the production of aluminum heat exchangers. Unlike more established vacuum brazing methods, the Long process does not depend on the use of a magnesium promoter. Instead, Al-Si clad brazing sheet is pretreated with a thin nickel alloy coating. This nickel coating reacts exothermically with the aluminum surface during brazing, to accomplish oxide penetration. Small amounts of lead are co-deposited with the nickel to improve wetting.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The nickel coating inhibits oxidation during preheat, permitting brazing to be accomplished in an inert gas furnace. This offers furnace cost and process reliability benefits in comparison to conventional vacuum brazing.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper describes the mechanisms of nickel brazing, in comparison to established models for vacuum brazing. Practical process control implications are also described.</div>
Environmental performance of mobile products (1999)

Digitalization, miniaturization and integration are strong drivers for further development of products for mobile communication. As such these will generally lead to lower environmental loads per product. However, the strongly increasing number of products on the market will reverse this trend for the total sector. Examinations on telephones have been carried out jointly at Philips Consumer Electronics and at the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration (IZM). The characteristic product parts, energy supply, display, encasing and electronic signal processing are subjected to an environmental assessment (including environmental assessment with Eco-Indicator and with the Toxic Potential Indicator IZM-TPI) and improvement potentials are shown for the selected products. The analysis shows that in mobile products, energy systems and the printed circuit boards are the key elements in further reduction of environmental loads. Both alternative substrates, lead free soldering and component selection (less hazardous substances) can contribute substantially towards this goal. These three topics are combined with further miniaturization, especially reduction of the board size, in the future. Approximately only half of the potential in this field has been implemented yet. As an overall result, it is concluded that the environmentally based load of present and future mobile products can be kept within limits if a swift implementation of EcoDesign (design for environment) is ensured.
Perspectives on Li and transition metal fluoride phosphates as cathode materials for a new generation of Li-ion batteries (2014)

To satisfy the needs of rapidly growing applications, Li-ion batteries require further significant improvements of their key properties: specific energy and power, cyclability, safety and costs. The first generation of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries based on mixed oxides with either spinel or rock-salt derivatives has already been widely commercialized, but the potential to improve the performance of these materials further is almost exhausted. Li and transition metal inorganic compounds containing different polyanions are now considered as the most promising cathode materials for the next generation of Li-ion batteries. Further advances in cathode materials are considered to lie in combining different anions [such as (XO4) (n-) and F(-)] in the anion sublattice, which is expected to enhance the specific energy and power of these materials. This review focuses on recent advances related to the new class of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries containing phosphate and fluoride anions. Special attention is given to their crystal structures and the relationships between structure and properties, which are important for their possible practical applications.
OPS: Offline Patching Scheme for the Images Management in a Secure Cloud Environment (2013)

Recent years have witnessed the development of Cloud Computing. The management of images is a big problem in virtualized environment because there are quantities of Virtual Machine images being stored in a Cloud and most of them are outdated. How to detect the outdated images and patch them efficiently? In this paper, we present a prototype called OPS- Offline Patching Scheme for the Images Management in a Secure Cloud Environment. In OPS, we can detect out the outdated image quickly by a module called Collector. Then a module called Patcher will patch the outdated images. In order to patch an image efficiently, offline patching technology is considered. For the large number of images in the Cloud, parallel scheme is also used. Our experiment results show that OPS can update numerous images efficiently.
<i>Calotropis procera</i>Root Extract Has the Capability to Combat Free Radical Mediated Damage (2013)

The present study reports the antioxidant and membrane protective activities of Calotropis procera aqueous root extract using several in vitro assays along with the determination of phenolic as well as flavonoid contents. Total phenol and flavonoid contents in extract were 15.67 ± 1.52 mg propyl gallate equivalent/g and 1.62 ± 0.05 mg quercetin equivalent/g, respectively. UV-visual spectroscopic scanning of the extract indicated the presence of glycoside-linked tannins or flavonoids. The extract exhibited appreciable reducing power signifying hydrogen donating potential. DPPH radical scavenging assay revealed substantial free radical scavenging activity (42-90%) in the extracts. Concentration dependent response was observed in the metal ion chelating activity (16-95%). Extracts also provided protection against iron induced lipid peroxidation in rat tissue (liver, brain, and kidney) homogenates. Comparatively better protective efficacy against peroxidative damage was observed in liver (71%) followed by kidney (65%) and brain (60%) tissues. Positive correlation (r (2) = 0.756) was observed between DPPH free radical scavenging activity and reducing power of extract. Similarly strong positive correlation (r (2) ≈ 0.756) was observed between metal ion chelating ability and percentage lipid peroxidation inhibition in different tissues. The study demonstrated considerable protective efficacy in C. procera root aqueous extracts against free radical and metal ion mediated oxidative damage.
Integrated Model-Based Controls and PHM for Improving Turbine Engine Performance, Reliability, and Cost (2009)

Control of high performance military aircraft propulsion systems continues to become more complex in response to increasingly demanding operational and multiple mission needs. Propulsion systems of the future will require adaptive engine control to enable precise and repeatable performance within stringent reliability, safety and cost constraints. In order to achieve performance that meets these requirements, propulsion control systems must evolve towards advanced designs with multivariable control systems and integrate numerous systems, including inlet, exhaust, power and bleed extraction, electrical power, thermal and environmental management, fuel, starting, accessories, aircraft flight control, and often propellers, open rotors, or lift fans. Due to the significant growth in complexity and number of control variables coupled with the demands of multivariable implementation, software development and verification tools must support model-based development and cost effective validation and verification strategies. The enabling technologies for the future advanced controls can be categorized as model-based control, multivariable and modelpredictive control systems, condition-based prognostics and diagnostics, distributed fault tolerant controls, active controls, and efficient model based design software tools for software development, validation and verification. This paper will provide an overview of these technologies and propose a direction for future research.
Kinetic mechanism of phosphorylase <i>a</i>. I. Initial velocity studies (1970)

Initial rate studies on rabbit muscle phosphorylase a were carried out in order to assign a kinetic mechanism to this enzyme, which plays an important role in the control of glycogen metabolism. Initial velocities were measured with varied concentrations of both substrates in each reaction direction, both in the presence and the absence of the modifier AMP. Data were analyzed with double-reciprocal plots and secondary replots of slopes and intercepts to yield kinetically derived dissociation constants which may be compared with dissociation constants determined by independent methods. Inhibition studies using UDP-glucose as a substrate analogue are also reported. Inhibition is competitive with glucose 1-phosphate and P 1 and noncompetitive with glycogen.A suitable rate equation for this system has been derived, and it should apply to other two-substrate enzyme–modifier systems exhibiting similar kinetics. The results of this detailed kinetic analysis, in conjunction with the isotope exchange studies at equilibrium which are reported in the following paper, suggest the kinetic mechanism of phosphorylase a to be rapid equilibrium random Bi Bi, i.e. random addition of substrates to the enzyme, with ternary complex interconversion as the rate-limiting step in the reaction sequence.
