Immunological investigation and immunotherapy in patients operated on for breast carcinoma. (1982)

The tumor-host relationship is an essential factor in the onset, development, and recovery from malignancies. A basic consideration in the treatment of cancer patients must therefore be to understand this relationship and attempt to modify it in order to favor the host. We here discuss the results of a study of the immunologic status of 91 breast cancer patients. The use of a battery of tests with five subcutaneous hypersensitivity antigens allowed us to detect some differences in the immunological profiles of patients with or without lymph node involvement. The effect of an immunostimulant fraction prepared from Corynebacterium granulosum, P40 is also analyzed. This fraction significantly modifies tumoral recurrence in DMBA-induced mammary cancers in the Sprague Dawley rat, causes regression of mammary permeation nodules following in situ injection and modifies the cutaneous reactions of one-half of the anergic breast cancer patients although regular re-challenge is still necessary.
[Complete nucleotide sequence of the Eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus genome]. (1991)

The complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic 42S RNA of Eastern equine encephalitis virus has been defined for the first time. The strategy of this viral genome occurred analogous to the ones of the other alfa viruses. The comparison of amino acid sequences of E1 and E2 proteins from the two strains of the virus has revealed a number of differences. Partially, they are localized in the hydrophilic regions of the protein molecules and evidently participate in organization of the specific antigenic structures. The amino acid sequences of all viral proteins have been comparatively analysed with the sequences of the analogous proteins of other known alfa viruses.
Ability of Proteus mirabilis to invade human urothelial cells is coupled to motility and swarming differentiation (1992)

Proteus mirabilis causes serious kidney infections which can involve invasion of host urothelial cells. We present data showing that the ability to invade host urothelial cells is closely coupled to swarming, a form of cyclical multicellular behavior in which vegetative bacteria differentiate into hyperflagellated, filamentous swarm cells capable of coordinated and rapid population migration. Entry into the human urothelial cell line EJ/28 by P. mirabilis U6450 isolated at different stages throughout the swarming cycle was measured by the antibiotic protection assay method and confirmed by electron microscopy. Differentiated filaments entered urothelial cells within 30 min and were 15-fold more invasive (ca. 0.18% entry in 2 h) than an equivalent dry weight of vegetative cells isolated before differentiation, which attained only ca. 0.012% entry in the 2-h assay. The invasive ability of P. mirabilis was modulated in parallel with flagellin levels throughout two cycles of swarming. Septation and division of intracellular swarm cells produced between 50 and 300 vegetative bacteria per human cell, compared with 4 to 12 intracellular bacteria after incubation with vegetative cells. Transposon (Tn5) mutants of P. mirabilis with specific defects in motility and multicellular behavior were compared with the wild-type for the ability to invade. Mutants which lacked flagella (nonmotile nonswarming) were entirely noninvasive, and those which were motile but defective in swarm cell formation (motile nonswarming) were 25-fold less invasive than wild-type vegetative cells. Mutants with defects in the coordination of multicellular migration and the temporal control of consolidation (cyclical reversion of swarm cells to vegetative cells) were reduced ca. 3- to 12-fold in the ability to enter urothelial cells. In contrast, a nonhemolytic transposon mutant which swarmed normally retained over 80% of wild-type invasive ability. Swarm cells and early consolidation cells were at least 10-fold more cytolytic than vegetative cells as a result of their high-level production of hemolysin.
Control of Rotational Dynamics for Ground and Aerial Behavior (2014)

This paper proposes a physics-based framework to control rolling, flipping and other behaviors with significant rotational components. The proposed technique is a general approach for guiding coordinated action that can be layered over existing control architectures through the purposeful regulation of specific whole-body features. Namely, we apply control for rotation through the specification and execution of specific desired `rotation indices' for whole-body orientation, angular velocity and angular momentum control and highlight the use of the angular excursion as a means for whole-body rotation control. We account for the stylistic components of behaviors through reference posture control. The novelty of the described work includes control over behaviors with considerable rotational components, both on the ground and in the air as well as a number of characteristics useful for general control, such as flight planning with inertia modeling, compliant posture tracking, and contact control planning.
Interaction depth in CdTe/CdZnTe spectrometers by electron drift time (2002)

This paper introduces a method to determine the interaction depth in 3-D position sensitive gamma-ray spectrometers through the measurement of the electron drift time. In this method, the electron drift time is measured as the time interval between the leading edges of the signals from the cathode and the anode pixel. As an implementation, a self-triggered VA-TA DAQ system with 128 independent timing channels has been developed to read out the timing when the signal leading edges cross a pre-selected threshold. Each timing channel has a dynamic range of 14 us and a timing resolution of /spl sim/60 ns. This VA-TA DAQ system is applied to a 2/spl times/2/spl times/1.5 cm/sup -3/ CdTe detector with an pixellated anode array. For signals from a particular pixel, the distribution of the measured electron drift time matched the expected distribution. The energy spectra from different interaction depths are separated by the measured electron drift time. For multiple interaction events involving multiple pixels, the reconstruction of the interaction depths based upon the electron drift times is being investigated. The results will be presented.
Effect of 2′-phosphophloretin on renal function in chronic renal failure rats (2004)

Hyperhosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism are common and severe complications of chronic renal failure. Therapies to reduce serum phosphate have been shown to reduce serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and slow the progression of renal failure. The effect of the inhibitor of intestinal phosphate absorption, 2'-phosphophloretin (2'-PP), on serum and urine chemistry, renal histology, and cardiac structure in the uremic rat model of renal failure, 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6 NX), was examined. The effect of 2'-PP on serum phosphate, serum PTH, serum total Ca(2+), and ionized Ca(2+), Ca(2+) x P(i) product, urine protein, urine osmolality, and creatinine clearance in 5/6 NX rats was examined. Uremic rats in chronic renal failure were gavaged daily with 25 microM 2'-PP. Over the course of a 5-wk experiment, serum chemistry in untreated uremic rats, 2'-PP-treated uremic rats, and age-matched control rats with normal renal function was determined twice a week. Urine creatinine, urine osmolality, urine phosphate, and urine protein were determined once a week from 24-h collections. 2'-PP reduced serum phosphate 40 +/- 3% compared with a 17% increase in untreated uremic control rats. 2'-PP did not alter total serum Ca(2+). During 5-wk experiments, serum PTH increased 65 +/- 25% in untreated uremic rats and decreased 70 +/- 7% in uremic rats treated with 25 microM 2'-PP. Creatinine clearance decreased 20% in untreated uremic rats compared with a 100% increase in 2'-PP-treated uremic rats. Urine protein decreased and urine osmolality increased in uremic rats treated with 2'-PP. The mechanism of the effect of 2'-PP on serum phosphate was inhibition of intestinal phosphate absorption. 2-PP inhibited intestinal phosphate absorption 50% without altering dietary protein absorption or intestinal Ca(2+) absorption. Over the course of the 5-wk treatment with 2'-PP, uremic animals treated with 2'-PP had a 2-4% weight gain/wk, similar to the weight gain seen in age-matched control rats with normal renal function.
Diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. (2003)

The defining characteristic of Alzheimer's disease is cognitive impairment, but commonly this impairment is accompanied by mood and behavioral symptoms such as depression, anxiety, irritability, inappropriate behavior, sleep disturbance, psychosis, and agitation. The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are not normative to the aging process. Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in the majority of cases can be made with confidence through office-based clinical assessment and informant interview. Alzheimer's disease is the most common of the dementing disorders and is exponentially increasing in incidence, projected to affect 8.64 million people in the United States by the year 2047. At present, no treatment can prevent or cure Alzheimer's disease, and the fact that Alzheimer's affects a geriatric population makes treatment all the more challenging. Therapies that could delay onset of symptoms even briefly would have a major impact on public health. As the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease increases, researchers are examining the efficacy of treatment options beyond the realm of the established cholinesterase inhibitors.

Comparison of linear voice coil and reluctance actuators for high-precision applications (2010)

This paper concerns the comparison of three linear reluctance actuators and four voice coil actuators for high-precision applications. The short-stroke actuators with reasonably low variation of the force are optimized on actuator mass and power dissipation. For actuators with a significantly high force variation, the configuration is modified with the objective to improve the actuator properties for high-precision applications. Finally, the comparison is made on performance regarding, force, mass, losses and stiffness.
A demonstration of DBWipes (2012)

As data analytics becomes mainstream, and the complexity of the underlying data and computation grows, it will be increasingly important to provide tools that help analysts understand the underlying reasons when they encounter errors in the result. While data provenance has been a large step in providing tools to help debug complex workflows, its current form has limited utility when debugging aggregation operators that compute a single output from a large collection of inputs. Traditional provenance will return the entire input collection, which has very low precision. In contrast, users are seeking precise descriptions of the inputs that caused the errors. We propose a Ranked Provenance System , which identifies subsets of inputs that influenced the output error, describes each subset with human readable predicates and orders them by contribution to the error. In this demonstration, we will present DBWipes, a novel data cleaning system that allows users to execute aggregate queries, and interactively detect, understand, and clean errors in the query results. Conference attendees will explore anomalies in campaign donations from the current US presidential election and in readings from a 54-node sensor deployment.
Deep learning for radar (2017)

Motivated by the recent advances in deep learning, we lay out a vision of how deep learning techniques can be used in radar. Specifically, our discussion focuses on the use of deep learning to advance the state-of-the-art in radar imaging. While deep learning can be directly applied to automatic target recognition (ATR), the relevance of these techniques in other radar problems is not obvious. We argue that deep learning can play a central role in advancing the state-of-the-art in a wide range of radar imaging problems, discuss the challenges associated with applying these methods, and the potential advancements that are expected. We lay out an approach to design a network architecture based on the specific structure of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging problem that augments learning with traditional SAR modelling. This framework allows for capture of the non-linearity of the SAR forward model. Furthermore, we demonstrate how this process can be used to learn and compensate for trajectory based phase error for the autofocus problem.

Hot-carrier degradation mechanism in narrow- and wide-channel n-MOSFETs with recessed LOCOS isolation structure (2000)

Narrow-channel n-MOSFETs with recessed LOCOS (R-LOCOS) isolation structure exhibit less hot carrier-induced degradation than wide-channel n-MOSFETs, but the degradation mechanism of both devices is the same. This new finding Is explained by the fact that in deep submicron MOSFETs with ultra-thin gate oxide, the dominant factor deciding the degradation behavior in narrow- and wide-channel devices is the vertical electric field effect rather than the mechanical stress effect.
Attainable error bounds in multirate adaptive lossless FIR filters (2002)

We consider the problem of adaptively optimizing a two-channel lossless FIR filter bank, which finds application in subband coding or wavelet signal analysis. Instead of using a gradient descent procedure-with its inherent problem of possible convergence to local minima-we consider two eigenstructure algorithms. Both algorithms feature a priori bounds on the output error variance at any convergent point, and based on simulations lead to solutions that lie acceptably close to a global minimum point of an output error cost function.

The Role of Mg on Structure and Mechanical Properties in Alloy 718 (1988)

The role of Mg in alloy 718 has been systematically investigated. Mg raises not only high temperature tensile and stress-rupture ductilities but also increases considerably smooth and notch stress-rupture life. Mg containing alloy 718M is free of stress-rupture notch sensitivity. Mg improves creep and fatigue interaction properties (LCF or cyclic stress rupture) at any grain size. The basic role of Mg is equilibrium segregation at grain boundaries which helps to change continuous grain boundary GNisNb morphology to discrete globular form which has a retardation effect on intergranular fracture. Mg promotes the change from intergranular to tracsgranular fracture mode.

A real-time quantitative assay for hepatitis B DNA virus (HBV) developed to detect all HBV genotypes (2010)

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Besides genotype, quantitative analysis of HBV infection is extensively used for monitoring disease progression and treatment. Affordable viral load monitoring is desirable in resource-limited settings and it has been already shown to be useful in developing countries for other viruses such as Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV. In this paper, we describe the validation of a real-time PCR assay for HBV DNA quantification with TaqMan chemistry and MGB probes. Primers and probes were designed using an alignment of sequences from all HBV genotypes in order to equally amplify all of them. The assay is internally controlled and was standardized with an international HBV panel. Its efficacy was evaluated comparing the results with two other methods: Versant HBV DNA Assay 3.0 (bDNA, Siemens, NY, USA) and another real-time PCR from a reference laboratory. Intra-assay and inter-assay reproducibilities were determined and the mean of CV values obtained were 0.12 and 0.09, respectively. The assay was validated with a broad dynamic range and is efficient for amplifying all HBV genotypes, providing a good option to quantify HBV DNA as a routine procedure, with a cheap and reliable protocol.
Enhancing image and video retrieval: learning via equivalence constraints (2003)

The paper is about learning using partial information in the form of equivalence constraints. Equivalence constraints provide relational information about the labels of data points, rather than the labels themselves. Our work is motivated by the observation that in many real life applications partial information about the data can be obtained with very little cost. For example, in video indexing we may want to use the fact that a sequence of faces obtained from successive frames in roughly the same location is likely to contain the same unknown individual. Learning using equivalence constraints is different from learning using labels and poses new technical challenges. In this paper we present three novel methods for clustering and classification, which use equivalence constraints. We provide results of our methods on a distributed image querying system that works on a large facial image database, and on the clustering and retrieval of surveillance data. Our results show that we can significantly improve the performance of image retrieval by taking advantage of such assumptions as temporal continuity in the data. Significant improvement is also obtained by making the users of the system take the role of distributed teachers, which reduces the need for expensive labeling by paid human labor.
[Endoscopic injection of Teflon in urinary incontinence in women]. (1984)

Over a one year period (September 1981 - September 1982) the authors carried out the subcervical injection of Teflon in 26 cases, 20 of which were suitable for inclusion in the present study. All the patients had true stress incontinence. Nine had undergone previous surgery, 8 had sphincter incompetence with an intact perineum and 3 were obese and/or in poor general condition. The technique was as follows: injection on the bladder aspect of the neck of the urethra of Teflon paste in the form of 3 blobs , each of 3 ml (3, 6 and 9 hours) in half of the patients and 4 blobs (12, 3, 6 and 9 hours) in the other 10 cases. The commonest complication was the spontaneous expulsion of the Teflon paste (6 cases). Results were estimated as follows: Objectively on the basis of radiological, endoscopic and urodynamic findings, and subjectively. They were favourable in 65% of cases.
From Here to Eternity: An Experiment Applying the e-Framework Infrastructure for Education and Research and the SUMO Ontology to Standards-based Geospatial Web Services (2009)

A number of efforts have been made in recent years to define standards for the description of resources (including web services) in services oriented architectures. These standards often use description logic ontologies (for example, OWL-S) and are intended to be machine-readable. They have been applied to geospatial web services to describe the functions that those services perform in a way that can be automatically interpreted by systems. By contrast, little effort has gone into the development of human readable descriptions of resources in a services oriented architecture, other than using unstructured natural language. e-Framework is an infrastructure for the higher education environment that provides a typology of human-readable artefacts that can be used to describe resources, and provides an internal structure for those artefacts. e-Framework has thus far not been used with geospatial information even though geospatial information has a number of important roles in education and research, and has a well-organised community of users and creators. 

This paper applies the e-Framework infrastructure to OGC web services, and also recommends the refinement of e-Framework with the use of the SUMO Upper Level Ontology to define Service Genres, the most abstract level of artefacts in e-Framework. It then illustrates the ways in which the Open Geospatial Consortium standards and specifications may be described in e-Framework. The work evaluates SUMO for e-Framework purposes, finding that its use for Service Genres is possible and offers a number of gains. It also evaluates e-Framework from a geospatial perspective, and shows that e-Framework’s constraints on resource descriptions do not suit the large and complex nature of geospatial web services.
