The PEERS Project. An Indiana program encourages teenagers to abstain from sex until they are married. (2003)

Absolute accuracy of the line-focus-beam (LFB) acoustic microscopy system is investigated for measurements of the leaky surface acoustic wave (LSAW) velocity and attenuation, and a method of system calibration is proposed. In order to discuss the accuracy, it is necessary to introduce a standard specimen whose bulk acoustic properties, (e.g., the independent elastic constants and density) are measured with high accuracy. Single crystal substrates of gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) are taken as standard specimens. The LSAW propagation characteristics are measured and compared with the calculated results using the measured bulk acoustic properties. Calibration is demonstrated for the system using two LFB acoustic lens devices with a cylindrical concave surface of 1-mm radius in the frequency range 100 to 300 MHz.

We report a new class of $c$-axis Josephson tunneling experiments in which a conventional superconductor (Pb) is deposited across a single twin boundary of a $\mathrm{YBa}{}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ (YBCO) crystal. We measure the critical current as a function of the magnitude and angle of a magnetic field applied in the plane of the junction. In all samples, we observe a clear experimental signature of an order parameter phase shift across the twin boundary. These results provide strong evidence for mixed $d$- and $s$-wave pairing in YBCO, with a reversal in the sign of the $s$-wave component across the twin boundary.
Longer Is Larger - or Is It? (2005)

Retinal degenerative diseases are a major cause of blindness involving the dysfunction of photoreceptors, retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE), or both. A promising treatment approach involves replacing these cells via surgical transplantation, and previous work has shown that cell delivery scaffolds are vital to ensure sufficient cell survival. Thus, identifying scaffold properties that are conducive to cell viability and maturation (such as suitable material and mechanical properties) is critical to ensuring a successful treatment approach. In this study, we investigated the effect of scaffold stiffness on human RPE attachment, survival, and differentiation, comparing immortalized (ARPE-19) and stem cell-derived RPE (iRPE) cells. Polydimethylsiloxane was used as a model polymer substrate, and varying stiffness (~12 to 800 kPa) was achieved by modulating the cross-link-to-base ratio. Post-attachment changes in gene and protein expression were assessed using qPCR and immunocytochemistry. We found that while ARPE-19 and iRPE exhibited significant differences in morphology and expression of RPE markers, substrate stiffness did not have a substantial impact on cell growth or maturation for either cell type. These results highlight the differences in expression between immortalized and iPSC-derived RPE cells, and also suggest that stiffnesses in this range (~12-800 kPa) may not result in significant differences in RPE growth and maturation, an important consideration in scaffold design.
Do Social Networks Prevent Bank Runs (2009)

We report experimental evidence on the effect of observability of actions on bank runs. We model depositors' decision-making in a sequential framework, with three depositors located at the nodes of a network. Depositors observe the other depositors' actions only if connected by the network. A sufficient condition to prevent bank runs is that the second depositor to act is able to observe the first one's action (no matter what is observed). Experimentally, we find that observability of actions affects the likelihood of bank runs, but depositors' choice is highly influenced by the particular action that is being observed. This finding suggests a new source for the ocurrence of bank runs. Observability of actions can provoke runs that cannot be explained neither by coordination nor by fundamental problems, the two main culprits identified by the literature.
DC Power Gyrator versus DC Power Transformer for Impedance Matching of a PV Array (2006)

A comparative analysis between a DC power transformer and a DC power gyrator on equal bases of operation is presented. Both approaches are used to solve the problem of maximum power transference from a PV panel to a DC load. An outdoor measurements system has been implemented and comparative experiments have been carried out during six hours. Results show that both approaches are practically equivalent in terms of efficiency
Insights on Nuclease Mechanism: The Role of Proximal Ammonium Group on Phosphate Esters Cleavage (2009)

The role of remotely located ammonium groups in the active site of many phosphate-cleaving enzymes is investigated by using model systems thus providing mechanistic hints to a still unsolved problem.
Next Generation Vehicle Network: Web Enabled (2008)

A new architecture of the next generation vehicle networks is proposed and discussed in this paper. Modern in-vehicle networks, on-board computers and the Internet, mobile telecommunications and Telematics applications in the ground vehicles, as well as future desired features are discussed. New applications such as remote diagnostic, condition monitoring, error detection, and remote firmware upgrade and reprogramming are proposed. Several hardware and software methodologies in the ground vehicles are proposed to achieve the proposed applications
IL-18 and IL-33 elicit Th2 cytokines from basophils via a MyD88- and p38α-dependent pathway (2009)

IL-4 and IL-13 are instrumental in the development and progression of allergy and atopic disease. Basophils represent a key source of these cytokines and produce IL-4 and IL-13 when stimulated with IL-18, a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines. Comparative analyses of the effects of caspase-1-dependent IL-1 family cytokines on basophil IL-4 and IL-13 production have not been performed, and the signaling pathway proteins required for FcepsilonRI-independent Th2 cytokine production from basophils remain incompletely defined. Using mouse bone marrow-derived cultured basophils, we found that IL-4 and IL-13 are produced in response to IL-18 or IL-33 stimulation. IL-18- or IL-33-mediated Th2 cytokine production is dependent on MyD88 and p38alpha signaling proteins. In addition, basophil survival increased in the presence of IL-18 or IL-33 as a result of increased Akt activation. Studies in vivo confirmed the potency of IL-18 and IL-33 in activating cytokine release from mouse basophils.
Combining Wireless Sensor Networks and Semantic Middleware for an Internet of Things-Based Sportsman/Woman Monitoring Application (2013)

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are spearheading the efforts taken to build and deploy systems aiming to accomplish the ultimate objectives of the Internet of Things. Due to the sensors WSNs nodes are provided with, and to their ubiquity and pervasive capabilities, these networks become extremely suitable for many applications that so-called conventional cabled or wireless networks are unable to handle. One of these still underdeveloped applications is monitoring physical parameters on a person. This is an especially interesting application regarding their age or activity, for any detected hazardous parameter can be notified not only to the monitored person as a warning, but also to any third party that may be helpful under critical circumstances, such as relatives or healthcare centers. We propose a system built to monitor a sportsman/woman during a workout session or performing a sport-related indoor activity. Sensors have been deployed by means of several nodes acting as the nodes of a WSN, along with a semantic middleware development used for hardware complexity abstraction purposes. The data extracted from the environment, combined with the information obtained from the user, will compose the basis of the services that can be obtained.

Where does AlphaGo go: from church-turing thesis to AlphaGo thesis and beyond (2016)

An investigation on the impact and significance of the AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol Go match is conducted, and concludes with a conjecture of the AlphaGo Thesis and its extension in accordance with the Church-Turing Thesis in the history of computing. It is postulated that the architecture and method utilized by the AlphaGo program provide an engineering solution for tackling issues in complexity and intelligence. Specifically, the AlphaGo Thesis implies that any effective procedure for hard decision problems such as NP-hard can be implemented with AlphaGo-like approach. Deep rule-based networks are proposed in attempt to establish an understandable structure for deep neural networks in deep learning. The success of AlphaGo and corresponding thesis ensure the technical soundness of the parallel intelligence approach for intelligent control and management of complex systems and knowledge automation.
The Identification of Concealed Memories Using the Event‐Related Potential and Implicit Behavioral Measures: A Methodology for Prediction in the Face of Individual Differences (1992)

The development and validation of an event-related potential (ERP) memory assessment procedure is detailed. The procedure identifies learned material with high rates of accuracy, whether or not subjects give intentional responses indicating they had previously learned it. Because the traditional analysis of variance approach fails to provide probabilistic conclusions about any given individual, Bayesian posterior probabilities were computed, indicating the probability for each and every person that material was learned. The method was developed on a sample of 20 subjects, and then cross-validated on two additional samples of 20 subjects each. Across the three samples, the method correctly defined over 94% of learned material as learned, and misclassified 4% of the unlearned material. Additionally, in a simple oddball task performed by the same subjects, the method classified rare and frequent material with perfect accuracy. Finally, combining two implicit behavioral measures--mean reaction time and the number of incorrect responses--in Bayesian fashion yielded classification accuracy that actually exceeded that of the ERP-based procedure overall, but the two methods provided identical accuracy in classifying the most critical material as recognized.
Modeling of spectral broadening in second-harmonic generation (2007)

A highly efficient modeling method for SHG is devised by studying the quasi phase matching (QPM) SHG in periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP). The model can be used for monochromatic and multifrequency SHG. The bandwidth of the pump can be a limiting factor, intensified by its hardly studied spectral coherence.
Silver(I) Oxide Mediated Highly Selective Monotosylation of Symmetrical Diols. Application to the Synthesis of Polysubstituted Cyclic Ethers (2002)

[reaction: see text] The reaction of symmetrical diols and oligo(ethylene glycol)s with a stoichiometric amount of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in the presence of silver(I) oxide and a catalytic amount of potassium iodide led selectively to the monotosylate derivatives in high yields. Polysubstituted cyclic ethers were obtained readily upon treatment of the corresponding diols with an excess of silver oxide. The high selectivity was explained on the basis of the difference in acidity between the two hydroxy groups, which undergo an intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Chemical Vapor Deposited Silicon∕Graphite Compound Material as Negative Electrode for Lithium-Ion Batteries (2005)

Chemical vapor deposition of nanosilicon on the surface of fine particle graphite (TIMREX KS6) gave a silicon/graphite "compound" material with 7.1 wt % silicon, homogeneously distributed on the carbon surface as very small particles (10-20 nm). This material shows good electrochemical properties, above all high reversible specific charge capacity and low fading. The irreversible capacity loss, upon the first cycle, only slightly exceeds that of graphite alone. The specific reversible capacity of the silicon part alone exceeds 2500 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> at the beginning of the cycling and is still more than 1900 mAh g<sup>-1</sup> for over 100 cycles.

Phase management control applied to two-phase interleaved half-bridge LLC resonant converter with phase-shift power factor correction (2013)

A two-phase interleaved half-bridge LLC resonant converter with phase-shift power factor correction and phase management control is presented. In order to enhance the power factor and reduce the input current ripple, two boost power factor correction converters connected in parallel with 180° phase-shift are adopted in first stage of the proposed converter and the variable output voltage control technique is also introduced to decrease the switching losses of converter. Besides, in second stage, two-phase interleaved LLC resonant converter with synchronous rectifier is applied to address the issue of output current ripple. According to different load demand, this proposed converter can automatically determine the operating mode to improve the total efficiency by the phase management control circuit. The analysis and design process of the two-phase interleaved half-bridge LLC resonant converter are shown in this paper and the validation of this concept is also demonstrated.

Pharmacological evaluation of intravenous delivery of 5-bromodeoxyuridine to patients with brain tumors. (1984)

Previously, 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) has been shown to be an effective radiosensitizing agent in rapidly dividing cells. As part of a Phase I/II study to evaluate BrdUrd as a radiosensitizer in gliomas, the pharmacology was studied in eight patients. BrdUrd was infused using an i.v. route as a 12-hr constant infusion each day for as long as 14 days. BrdUrd steady-state arterial levels are described for three different infusional rates: 1.6 mumol/sq m/min (350 mg/sq m/12 hr) produced a steady-state arterial level of 0.7 microM; 3.2 mumol/sq m/min (700 mg/sq m/12 hr) resulted in 2.1 microM; 5.9 mumol/sq m/min (650 mg/sq m/6 hr) showed a level of 3.9 microM. Because of myelosuppression, the highest tolerable dose for this intermittent long-term infusional therapy with BrdUrd appears to be 700 mg/sq m/12 hr. Contrary to the nonlinear pharmacokinetics of thymidine, 5-fluorouracil, and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine described previously, BrdUrd shows linear behavior in the range studied. BrdUrd still has promise as a radiosensitizer for gliomas in humans, but an alternative means of safe delivery into the carotid artery is needed. Because of an estimated 11- to 16-fold-higher local concentration, use of the intraarterial route could deliver optimum levels of BrdUrd to the tumor with minimal systemic toxicity.
The effects of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields on melatonin and cortisol, two marker rhythms of the circadian system (2012)

In the past 30 years the concern that daily exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) (1 to 300 Hz) might be harmful to human health (cancer, neurobehavioral disturbances, etc) has been the object of debate, and has become a public health concern. This has resulted in the classification of ELF-EMF into category 2B, ie, agents that are "possibly carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Since melatonin, a neurohormone secreted by the pineal gland, has been shown to possess oncostatic properties, a "melatonin hypothesis" has been raised, stating that exposure to EMF might decrease melatonin production and therefore might promote the development of breast cancer in humans. Data from the literature reviewed here are contradictory. In addition, we have demonstrated a lack of effect of ELF-EMF on melatonin secretion in humans exposed to EMF (up to 20 years' exposure) which rebuts the melatonin hypothesis. Currently, the debate concerns the effects of ELF-EMF on the risk of childhood leukemia in children chronically exposed to more than 0.4 μT. Further research is thus needed to obtain more definite answers regarding the potential deleterious effects of ELF-EMF.
Haematological parameters change in Gallus gallus domesticus infected with cestode parasite. (2012)

The study deals with the haematological parameters in Gallus gallus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) which is naturally infected with cesode parasites. Inspite of the fact that the haematological value of birds (Gallus gallus domesticus) are of clinical significant rates than commercial importance.  The total erythrocytes and leukocyte count, haemoglobin and haematocrit value, mean corpuscular volume and differential leukocyte count were determined. There is a significant decrease in erythrocytes count and haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit value. While the total leukocyte count was increase in the infected as compare to the normal Gallus gallus domesticus. The obtained result collectivities indicate the change in heamatology of Gallus gallus domesticus infected with cestode parasites. The haematological parameters of the infected bird Gallus gallus domesticus shows high infection cause macrocytic anemia, lymphocytosis due to deficiency of related factors.
