Detection of the Receptor for the Human Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Using Fluoresceinated uPA (1997)

The urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease that plays a crucial role in blood coagulation and in tumor invasion and metastasis. uPA is a relatively large polypeptide and binds the uPA receptor (uPAR) with high affinity and specificity. Therefore, it was a good candidate for direct labeling with a fluorochrome for detection of the uPAR. We have produced a fluorescein (FITC)-labeled human uPA using a conjugation procedure that did not significantly alter its binding characteristics to the uPAR. Thirty nM FITC-uPA efficiently stains 2 x 10(5) uPAR-transfected mouse cells in suspension, as determined by flow cytometric analysis. One microgram of FITC-uPA efficiently stains 2 x 10(5) uPAR transfectants grown on slides and analyzed by fluorescence optical microscopy. Human cell lines expressing the endogenous uPAR were stained with similar efficiency. Fixation in paraformaldehyde only slightly reduced the efficiency of staining of both transfectants and cell lines. These characteristics allow the use of FITC-uPA in both static and dynamic morphological studies of uPAR-expressing cells.
Java TM Call Control (JCC) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) (2001)

This paper describes the JAINTM JavaTM Call Control (JCC)∗ Application Programming Interface (API), and its relationship to network protocols, in particular the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). JCC is a high-level object-oriented open, standard API for Next Generation Network (NGN) softswitches that enables rapid creation, by third parties, of services that can run independently of the underlying network technology (e.g. wireless, wired, packet, IP, PSTN) and protocols. SIP is a protocol that has been proposed for a wide variety of uses in IP networks, including call control. We argue that instead of being competitors, JCC and SIP are complementary, with JCC offering higher-layer programming abstractions and protocolindependence, and demonstrate by examples how to map JCC version 1.0 to a SIP environment. We thus show that for common call control applications using JCC is simpler, faster and less maintenance intensive than using SIP directly. key words: Java call control (JCC), session initiation protocol (SIP), call agent, application programming interface (API), next generation network (NGN)

Lightning morphology and impulse charge moment change of high peak current negative strokes (2012)

We have analyzed very high frequency lightning mapping observations and remote magnetic field measurements to investigate connections between lightning morphology and impulse charge moment change (iCMC) of negative cloud‐to‐ground (CG) strokes with high estimated peak currents. Four lightning morphologies are identified for a total of 2126 strokes within optimum detection range of the North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array, and statistical iCMC distributions are given for each of these types. Almost all (>90%) of the largest impulse charge moments (greater than −200 C km in this data set) are not produced by strokes in ordinary negative CG flashes. Instead, negative strokes with the largest iCMCs are almost exclusively associated with two unusual flash types that both initially develop as positive (normal) intracloud lightning. In the first type the negative stroke with high iCMCs results from a negative leader that descends from the midlevel negative charge region after the upper level negative leader ceases propagating. In the second type, the upper level negative leader of the intracloud lightning progresses toward ground as a so‐called bolt from the blue to generate the negative stroke. Measurements of strokes associated with four negative polarity sprites suggest that all four were most likely produced in the first unusual lightning type. Our results highlight that estimated peak current and impulse charge transfer are not always well correlated and that the in‐cloud lightning structure strongly influences charge transfer on short time scales in negative CG strokes.
Pseudo Output and Magnetic Properties of Fe-Al-Si Film in MIG Head (1990)

In Fe-Al-Si film deposited on ferrite material, there is a layer near the film-ferrite interface with inferior magnetic properties. This layer, which acts as a pseudo-gap in MIG heads, is caused by the nonuniform structure of the Fe-Al-Si film and by interdiffusion between film and ferrite. Improvement of the properties of these Fe-Al-Si films requires better crystal orientation, smaller grain sizes and a homogeneous film structure; these changes can be attained by selecting the optimum substrate. When a MIG head uses the (110) face of single-crystal ferrite as a gap surface, the head exhibits no pseudo-output, nor does a MIG head of polycrystalline ferrite with a Fe-Al-Si/Fe-Ni double-layer film, because both MIG heads have good crystal orientation and a homogeneous film structure.
Sex, Beauty, and the Relative Luminance of Facial Features (2003)

It has been suggested that the consistent luminance difference between the darker regions of the eyes and mouth and the lighter regions that surround them forms a pattern unique to faces. One of the more consistent uses of cosmetics to make the female face more attractive is to darken the eyes and mouth relative to the surrounding skin. The hypothesis that the size of the luminance difference between the eyes and mouth and the rest of the face affects the attractiveness of male and female faces differently was tested in four experiments in which attractiveness ratings were obtained for images of faces in which the luminance difference between the eyes and mouth and the rest of the face had been manipulated. Female faces were found to be more attractive when this luminance difference was increased than when it was decreased, and the opposite was found for male faces. An interpretation consistent with these results is that the luminance difference between the eyes and mouth and the rest of the face is naturally greater in women than men. In this case increasing or decreasing the luminance difference will make a face more feminine or masculine, respectively, and hence, more or less attractive depending on the sex of the face. Implications for the causes of cosmetics usage are discussed.
Integrated hall-based magnetic platform for position sensing (2017)

We present here a single-chip platform for Hall-based magnetic sensing. When configured as an angle sensor, the achieved accuracy of 0.5 ° improves the state of the art of Hall-based integrated angle sensors targeting automotive applications (with extended temperature range up to 160 °C. This is achieved thanks to a low offset front-end (< 15 μV) and individual trimming of the Hall element sensitivities. The platform, realized in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology, contains 12 sensing Hall elements. The chip layout is compatible with various integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) geometries. This allows the platform to serve diverse magnetic sensing applications (e.g. 3D magnetometer, 2-angle joystick).
Error compensation of work setting in form grinding of gears (2003)

A compensation method for work setting errors in form grinding of gears is proposed. In the method, the setting errors of the gear work are measured and additional motions to cancel out the setting errors are calculated. In this paper, the usefulness of the proposed error compensation method is confirmed through the grinding tests under the eccentric error of the gear work. The method makes it possible to set the gear work to the worktable without cnetering and to realize automatic gear grinding.

ATM and IP integration by built-in IP handling capability in an ATM switching system (2003)

The rapid growth of the Internet impacts ATM networks to be furnished with IP handling capability. This paper discusses networking issues for IP and ATM integration. First, it considers function allocation at the boundary of an ATM backbone network and the Internet. As a result, the paper explains the necessity of built-in IP handling capability in an ATM switching system, and summarizes functional requirements for the system architecture. According to the discussion, the authors propose a system architecture for IP/ATM integration in the ATM switching system. The implementation of the proposed architecture is evaluated, and the wire-speed IP handling capability in the ATM switch is confirmed.
Column agglutination technology: the antiglobulin test (1993)

A new system for typing and screening blood, based on the sieving effect of glass bead microparticles, has been developed. The test is performed in a microcolumn in which the red cell agglutinates are trapped in the glass bead matrix during centrifugation, and unagglutinated cells form a pellet at the bottom of the column. Anti-human globulin reagents were incorporated in the diluent and the new test system, column agglutination technology, was compared to conventional tube tests and low-ionic-strength method. Sera and plasmas (228 samples) were screened for red cell antibodies with two anti-human globulin reagents: one containing only anti-IgG and the other containing both anti-IgG and anti-C3b, -C3d. After initial testing, there was 94-percent agreement between column agglutination technology and tube tests, and after repeat testing, there was 97-percent agreement. The column agglutination technology anti-human globulin test eliminates the need to wash red cells, which decreases the overall test time. The test is easy to perform, and the results are more objective than those with tube and microplate methods.
Fabrication of Empire (2009)

During the 1890s, the Scramble for Africa created the new country of Uganda. This inland territory carved out by British agents first encompassed some 20–30 African kingdoms. In his magisterial study, Anthony Low examines how and why the British were able to dominate these rulerships and establish a colonial government. At the same time, the book goes beyond providing a simple narrative account of events; rather, Low seeks to analyse the conditions under which such a transformation was possible. By skilfully negotiating the many complex political and social undercurrents of this period, Low presents a groundbreaking theoretical model of colonial conquest and rule. The result is a major contribution to debates about the making of empire that will appeal to Africanists and imperial historians alike.

Characteristics and present silvicultural strategies of vegetation in loess plateau of northern Shaanxi province (2002)

It is concluded that potential distribution of broad leaved oak forests on the loess plateau of northern Shaanxi province ends at north border of Weibei loess plateau, namely along Longxian, Binxian and Yijun, Tongchuan and Huanglong county, after a comparative analysis of uptonow research results. Soil substrates is already dried and impoverished after a serious destruction and soil erosion. However, these are not their real situation. Soil substrates may gradually get recovered through vegetation reconstruction. Pioneer tree species should be selected at first for vegetation recover. Juvenile plantations should be modified in time after a certain period of afforestation, so that to direct them to approach potential nature forests (vegetation). Meanwhile, a system of sustainable management should be set up too.
Vesicular Localization and Characterization of a Novel Post-Proline-Cleaving Aminodipeptidase, Quiescent Cell Proline Dipeptidase (2000)

A large number of chemokines, cytokines, and signal peptides share a highly conserved X-Pro motif on the N-terminus. The cleavage of this N-terminal X-Pro dipeptide results in functional alterations of chemokines such as RANTES, stroma-derived factor-1, and macrophage-derived chemokine. Until recently, CD26/DPPIV was the only known protease with the ability to cleave N-terminal X-Pro motifs at neutral pH. We have isolated and cloned a novel serine protease, quiescent cell proline dipeptidase (QPP), with substrate specificity similar to that of CD26/DPPIV. In this paper we show that QPP, like CD26/DPPIV, is synthesized with a propeptide and undergoes N:-glycosylation. Interestingly, this glycosylation is required for QPP enzymatic activity, but not for its localization. Unlike the cell surface molecule, CD26/DPPIV, QPP is targeted to intracellular vesicles that are distinct from lysosomes. Proteinase K treatment of intact vesicles indicates that QPP is located within the vesicles. These vesicles appear to have a secretory component, as QPP is secreted in a functionally active form in response to calcium release. The presence of QPP in the vesicular compartment suggests that molecules bearing the N-terminal X-Pro motif can be cleaved at multiple sites within and outside the cell. These results expand the potential site(s) and scope of a process that appears to be an important mechanism of post-translational regulation.
Herpes Simplex Virus Antigens Directly Activate NK Cells via TLR2, Thus Facilitating Their Presentation to CD4 T Lymphocytes (2012)

NK cells infiltrate human herpetic lesions, but their role has been underexplored. HSV can stimulate innate immune responses via surface TLR2, which is expressed on monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and NK cells. In this study, UV-inactivated HSV1/2 and immunodominant HSV2 glycoprotein D peptides conjugated to the TLR2 agonist dipalmitoyl-S-glyceryl cysteine stimulated CD4 T lymphocyte IFN-γ responses within PBMCs or in coculture with monocyte-derived DCs. NK cells contributed markedly to the PBMC responses. Furthermore, NK cells alone were activated directly by both Ags, also upregulating HLA-DR and HLA-DQ and then they activated autologous CD4 T lymphocytes. Using Transwells, Ag-stimulated NK cells and CD4 T lymphocytes were shown to interact through both cell-to-cell contact and cytokines, differing in relative importance in different donors. A distinct immunological synapse between Ag-stimulated NK cells and CD4 T lymphocytes was observed, indicating the significance of their cell-to-cell contact. A large proportion (57%) of NK cells was also in contact with CD4 T lymphocytes in the dermal infiltrate of human recurrent herpetic lesions. Thus, NK cells stimulated by TLR2-activating HSV Ags can present Ag alone or augment the role of DCs in vitro and perhaps in herpetic lesions or draining lymph nodes. In addition to DCs, NK cells should be considered as targets for adjuvants during HSV vaccine development.
A novel approach for intrusion detection in mobile ad hoc networks (2019)

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consists of various nodes and they interact with each other cooperatively. However, the cooperative nature of MANET provides a gateway for intruders to interrupt the communication. Two types of approaches have been proposed for the IDS in the literature. The first approach has been used for the improvement in the conventional models and the second approach based on the unconventional models. Our focus is on the unconventional methods since they perform better in the diversified environment. A number of unconventional methods viz. Watchdog, EAACK, etc. have been discussed in the literature. However, intrusion detection model based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) for distributed and advanced attacks have not been discussed yet. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach based on PSO for the IDS in MANET. The proposed model is compared with existing models like Watchdog and EAACK. Comprehensive objective function in the evaluation of node trustworthiness is a key point of this model.
Multiferroic Bi <sub>0.7</sub> Dy <sub>0.3</sub> FeO <sub>3</sub> films as high <i>k</i> dielectric material for advanced non-volatile memory devices (2009)

Gate dielectric materials having high dielectric constant, low interface state density and good thermal stability are needed for advanced CMOS applications. In this Letter, the electrical properties of novel multiferroic Bi0.7Dy0.3FeO3 (BDFO) thin films deposited using the pulsed laser deposition technique on p-type (100) silicon substrate are reported. Using high frequency capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements, the dielectric constant, effective oxide charge density and interface state density were estimated. The results suggest the potential application of multiferroic BDFO films as gate dielectric material for novel memory devices that can be electrically written and magnetically read.
Retention of Phenylalanine Ammonia-lyase Activity in Wheat Seedlings during Storage and in Vitro Digestion (2008)

The retention of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity in Red Spring wheat seedlings during storage and in vitro protein digestion was evaluated toward assessing the efficacy of plant PAL as a dietary supplement for patients suffering from the metabolic disease, phenylketonuria. Retention of PAL activity in freeze-dried wheat seedling tissues following three months of storage at -20 degrees C ranged from 62% in the leaf to 89% in root/residual seed tissues. After a 3-h two-stage ("gastric-intestinal") in vitro digestion, 36% and 42% recovery of PAL activity was associated with chopped fresh leaf and root/residual seed tissues respectively; however, no activity was recovered from freeze-dried tissues. High performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the residual phenylalanine (Phe) after in vitro digestion confirmed that the fresh tissues effected a significantly higher conversion of exogenous Phe than freeze-dried tissues. These results demonstrate that the plant cell walls provide protection of PAL during in vitro digestion. In cases where exogenous Phe (100 mg; 24 mM) was supplied to the tissues, the product of the reaction, trans-cinnamic acid, may have exerted a significant inhibitory effect on PAL activity.
Comparison of the Effects of Atenolol and Nifedipine on Glucose, Insulin, and Lipid Metabolism in Patients With Hypertension (1991)

Various aspects of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism have been studied in two groups of patients with mild hypertension before and after four months of treatment with either nifedipine (n = 12) or atenolol (n = 12). Mean (+/- SEM) blood pressure fell to the same degree following treatment with either nifedipine (147 +/- 3/98 +/- 2 to 134 +/- 2/85 +/- 2 mm Hg) or atenolol (149 +/- 3/99 +/- 2 to 135 +/- 2/86 +/- 3 mm Hg). Circulating plasma glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations were measured at hourly intervals from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, before and after breakfast (8:00 AM), and at lunch time (noon). The response to treatment was different in the two groups. Specifically, plasma glucose concentration were unchanged and insulin concentrations were higher in association with atenolol treatment. In contrast, nifedipine-treated patients had similar plasma insulin, but lower plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations after four months of therapy. The changes in day-long plasma glucose and insulin responses suggested that resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake had increased in association with atenolol treatment and decreased following nifedipine. This conclusion was supported in that measurement of insulin-stimulated glucose disposal showed a decrease in atenolol-treated patients and an increase in nifedipine-treated patients. Finally, plasma lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations did not change following atenolol therapy, whereas plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol increased in association with nifedipine administration. These data show that changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism observed with treatment of mild hypertension can vary significantly as a function of the drug used, despite similar beneficial effects on blood pressure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Mechanism for AlSiCu Alloy Corrosion (1992)

We investigated corrosion at AlSiCu/TiN interconnection lines in VLSI devices. This type of corrosion appeared during the deionized water rinse treatment after the dry etching and ashing treatment (with O 2 +CF 4 gas mixture). The corrosion shape was “pitlike”. When added the vacuum heating treatment before the deionized water rinse, the corrosion number was decreased. However, the ashing treatment had a contrary effect for this type of corrosion suppression. We investigated this type of corrosion mechanism by ion-chromatography analysis. In this analysis, residual Cl concentration decreased when the ashing time was prolonged, but the corrosion number was increased significantly. We measured residual F concentration at the same time, and detected a high concentration of F - ions. We consider that these F - ions contribute to this type of corrosion.
