No expression of a Rous sarcoma virus-induced tumor antigen in mammalian cells infected with retroviruses transducing other oncogenes of the src gene family. (1985)

Immunization with mouse and rat cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) or by B77 avian sarcoma virus (ASV) induced complete transplantation resistance against an RSV-induced mouse tumor (CSA1M) in syngeneic hosts. In contrast, most of the mice immunized with a Fujinami sarcoma virus-transformed rat fibroblast line (FSV-3Y1), a feline sarcoma virus-transformed cat fibroblast line (FeSV-FEF), an Abelson leukemia virus-infected Balb/3T3 cell line (AbLV-3T3), or an uninfected 3Y1 cell line could not reject the CSA1M. Serologic analysis with the use of a complement-dependent cytotoxicity assay supported the results of transplantation studies. The mouse and rat cells transformed by RSV or B77 ASV expressed a common tumor-specific cell surface antigen (TSSA) detected by syngeneic antiserum against the CSA1M, whereas none of the FSV-3Y1, FeSV-FEF, and AbLV-3T3 cells expressed the TSSA. These results suggest that the common TSSA in the mouse and rat cells transformed by RSV or B77 ASV containing src gene is not shared with mammalian cells infected with retroviruses transducing other oncogenes of the src gene family (i.e., fps, fes, and abl).
Determination of the line edge roughness specification for 34 nm devices (2003)

The impact of gate line edge roughness (LER) on 70 nm MOS devices was measured experimentally and used to validate an enhanced statistical technique for evaluating LER effects on devices. The technique was used to determine that LER in 34 nm devices will need to be limited to 3 nm. Effect of LER spectrum on wide and narrow devices is discussed, as well as an approach for correcting experimental current measurements for LER.
A survey of ultrasound elastography approaches to percutaneous ablation monitoring (2014)

Percutaneous thermal ablation has been widely used as a minimally invasive treatment for tumors. Treatment monitoring is essential for preventing complications while ensuring treatment efficacy. Mechanical testing measurements on tissue reveal that tissue stiffness increases with temperature and ablation duration. Different types of imaging methods can be used to monitor ablation procedures, including temperature or thermal strain imaging, strain imaging, modulus imaging, and shear modulus imaging. Ultrasound elastography demonstrates the potential to become the primary imaging modality for monitoring percutaneous ablation. This review briefly presented the state-of-the-art ultrasound elastography approaches for monitoring radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation. These techniques were divided into four groups: quasi-static elastography, acoustic radiation force elastography, sonoelastography, and applicator motion elastography. Their advantages and limitations were compared and discussed. Future developments were proposed with respect to heat-induced bubbles, tissue inhomogeneities, respiratory motion, three-dimensional monitoring, multi-parametric monitoring, real-time monitoring, experimental data center for percutaneous ablation, and microwave ablation monitoring.

The system consists of radioactive sources loaded into scintillator buttons which-register the charged decay particles (betas and alphas) emitted by the radionuclides in coincidence with γ-rays. The latter are detected by γ-ray and x-ray spectrometers as calibration lines. The scintillator button is viewed by a separate photomultiplier tube so the light pulses resulting from the charged decay particles can be used to gate off the calibration γ-ray lines from the spectrometers during the normal mode of operation. The calibration is achieved by accepting only those pulses which are in coincidence with the pulses from the scintillator button, thus recording the calibration lines from the radioactive source. Some suggestions for future developments are also briefly discussed.
PKB/Akt interacts with inosine‐5′ monophosphate dehydrogenase through its pleckstrin homology domain (2000)

The pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of the protooncogenic serine/threonine protein kinase PKB/Akt can bind phosphoinositides. A yeast-based two-hybrid system was employed which identified inosine-5' monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) type II as specifically interacting with PKB/Akts PH domain. IMPDH catalyzes the rate-limiting step of de novo guanosine-triphosphate (GTP) biosynthesis. Using purified fusion proteins, PKB/Akts PH domain and IMPDH associated in vitro and this association moderately activated IMPDH. Purified PKB/Akt also associated with IMPDH in vitro. We could specifically pull-down PKB/Akt or IMPDH from mammalian cell lysates using glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-IMPDH or GST-PH domain fusion proteins, respectively. Additionally, PKB/Akt and IMPDH could be co-immunoprecipitated from COS cell lysates and active PKB/Akt could phosphorylate IMPDH in vitro. These results implicate PKB/Akt in the regulation of GTP biosynthesis through its interaction with IMPDH, which is involved in providing the GTP pool used by signal transducing G-proteins.
Effect of Deposition Conditions on Mechanical Properties of Low-Temperature PECVD Silicon Nitride Films (2005)

The effect of deposition conditions on characteristic mechanical properties - elastic modulus and hardness - of low-temperature PECVD silicon nitrides is investigated using nanoindentation. lt is found that increase in substrate temperature, increase in plasma power and decrease in chamber gas pressure all result in increases in elastic modulus and hardness. Strong correlations between the mechanical properties and film density are demonstrated. The silicon nitride density in turn is shown to be related to the chemical composition of the films, particularly the silicon/nitrogen ratio. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Trans-, cis-, and dihydro-resveratrol: a comparative study (2011)

Dihydro-R exhibits proliferative effects in androgen-independent prostate cancer cells at picomolar and nanomolar concentrations. While the exact mechanism of these effects requires further evaluation, our preliminary results point to hormone receptor modulation activity. We also observed strong cross modulation between trans-R and dihydro-R at sub-picomolar concentrations. The role of dihydro-R in cancer proliferation related to moderate consumption of red wine remains an open question because dihydro-R has a very complex activity pattern in the presence of trans-R.
Myeloid‐related protein (MRP)8/14 (calprotectin) and its subunits MRP8 and MRP14 in plaque‐induced early gingival inflammation (2004)

The expression of calprotectin in the early phase of experimental gingivitis is variable between subjects, and two groups of subjects can be differentiated according to their response patterns. Clinical parameters at the very first visit (day -11) seemed to be different in the two response groups. The results of the present investigation indicate that the inflammatory response to plaque accumulation depends on the initial status of the subjects, which may not be leveled out by the introduction of perfect oral hygiene. Whether these patterns reflect a different susceptibility to periodontal diseases remains to be determined.
Influence of Optical Working on Surface Structure of Plastic Crystals (1950)

Single crystals of thallium bromoiodide show domains with inclination angles up to 6°. Fast cutting or thermal shock introduces cracks along the glide planes (110). Turning on a lathe or shaping tears the material from the surface in the form of chips if the cutter moves against the glide plane. Grinding develops flow lines under the surface which have to be removed by proper annealing before final polishing. Precisely shaped surfaces without polishing show good infra-red transmission beyond 2 microns. Plates with rough shaped surfaces show a low transmission at short wave-lengths and high transmission at long wave-lengths. They may find application as filters for the reduction of stray light in infra-red spectrophotometers.
OS and Application Identification by Installed Fonts (2016)

Recently, some commercial websites collect browsing history and device information for use in services they provide. In this paper, we focused on font information that can be obtained via a web browser to determine what kind of software can be identified about a given device. According to existing research, it is possible to identify installed applications such as the Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Office using such font information. Thus, we have examined the fonts installed by operating systems (OS) and applications. Our results show that font information on a device can be used to identify installed applications and OS type and version.
Molecular genetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans (1994)

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, highly acidophilic (pH 1.5 to 2.0), autotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy through the oxidation of ferrous iron or reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. It is usually dominant in the mixed bacterial populations that are used industrially for the extraction of metals such as copper and uranium from their ores. More recently, these bacterial consortia have been used for the biooxidation of refractory gold-bearing arsenopyrite ores prior to the recovery of gold by cyanidation. The commercial use of T. ferrooxidans has led to an increasing interest in the genetics and molecular biology of the bacterium. Initial investigations were aimed at determining whether the unique physiology and specialized habitat of T. ferrooxidans had been accompanied by a high degree of genetic drift from other gram-negative bacteria. Early genetic studies were comparative in nature and concerned the isolation of genes such as nifHDK, glnA, and recA, which are widespread among bacteria. From a molecular biology viewpoint, T. ferrooxidans appears to be a typical member of the proteobacteria. In most instances, cloned gene promoters and protein products have been functional in Escherichia coli. Although T. ferrooxidans has proved difficult to transform with DNA, research on indigenous plasmids and the isolation of the T. ferrooxidans merA gene have resulted in the development of a low-efficiency electroporation system for one strain of T. ferrooxidans. The most recent studies have focused on the molecular genetics of the pathways associated with nitrogen metabolism, carbon dioxide fixation, and components of the energy-producing mechanisms.
Acquisition using simultaneous sources (2008)

We present a technique in which 2 or more shots are acquired during the time it normally takes to acquire 1 shot. The 2 or more shots are fired in a near simultaneous manner with small random time delays between the component sources. A variety of processing techniques are applied to produce the same seismic images which would have resulted from firing the simultaneous shots separately. These processing techniques rely on coherency of the wavefield in the common‐shot domain and unpredictability in common‐receiver, ‐offset and ‐midpoint domains. We present results of its application in 2D in the Green Canyon area and in 3D on the Petronius field, both located in the Gulf of Mexico. These results demonstrate that in deep water with modest water‐bottom reflectivity no special processing is required, whereas in shallower water with stronger water‐bottom reflectivity the use of shot separation techniques is necessary. We conclude that this technique can be used robustly to improve source sampling and, for example, to acquire data from a range of azimuths simultaneously. This could potentially change the fundamental economics of wide azimuth acquisition.
Economische simulatie op het veehouderijbedrijf. (1989)

De huidige management-informatiesystemen zijn nog voornamelijk gericht op gegevensregistratie en probleemsignalering. Een koppeling met technisch/economische simulatiemodellen maakt het mogelijk deze systemen uit te breiden tot het vooraf bestuderen en evalueren van probleemoplossingen en nieuwe plannen. Ingegaan wordt op de aard en mogelijkheden van een dergelijke aanpak
Structure/Activity Relationships of Polyfunctional Diterpenes of the Tigliane Type (1996)

For protein kinase C (PKC), a family of isoenzymes with serine/threonine-kinase activity identified as the major cellular receptor for certain skin irritants and tumor promoters, a new pharmacophore model is presented. By structure/activity relationship studies of naturally occurring and synthetic diterpene esters of the tigliane type (PKC activators) it is demonstrated that in addition to the oxygen at C20 it is the O-acyl function in position C13 which is critically essential for skin-irritant and tumor-promoting bioactivities rather than other oxygen atoms. This result is confirmed and extended by computer-assisted molecular modeling of tigliane-type and ingenane-type tumor promoters. It is contrasted to certain features attributed to the pharmacophore based upon the recently determined crystallographic structure of the effector-binding domain Cys2 of PKC delta complexed with the pseudo-agonist phorbol 13-acetate.

The construction and operation of a low‐cost poultry waste digester (1984)

A simple and low-cost poultry waste digester (PWD) was constructed to treat the waste from 4000 caged laying hens on University Research Unit No. 2 at North Carolina State University. The system was built basically of a plastic lining with insulation, a heating system, a hot-water tank, and other metering equipment. It was operated at 50 degrees C and pH 7.5-8.0. The initiation of methane production was achieved using the indigenous microflora in the poultry waste. At an optimal loading rate (7.5 kg volatile solids/m(3) day), the PWD produced biogas (55% methane) at a rate of 4.0 m(3)/m(3) day. The PWD was biologically stable and able to tolerate temporary overloads and shutdowns. A higher loading rate failed to maintain a high gas production rate and caused drops in methane content and pH value. Under optimal conditions, a positive energy balance was demonstrated with a net surplus of 50.6% of the gross energy. For methane production, the PWD system was proved to be technically feasible. The simple design and inexpensive materials used for this model could significantly reduce the cost of digestion compared to more conventional systems. More studies are needed to determine the durability, the required maintenance of the system, and the most economical method of biogas and solid residue utilization.
Distributing a mobile robot simulator using remote procedure calls (2002)

The architecture of a distributed mobile robot simulator is presented. A sequential simulator for conducting experiments in path planning and sensor fusion is first implemented. The computationally intensive sections of the simulator are then identified. To exploit the fact that some of these computations may be performed in parallel, a distributed version of the simulator is implemented on a network of heterogeneous computers running variants of the UNIX (BSD) operating system. The various processes in the simulator communicate over Ethernet using remote procedure calls. The paper also discusses the performance issues involved in distributing the simulator.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Very Late Onset Schizophrenia like Psychosis at Eighties: A Case Vignette and Comprehensive Literature Review (2014)

Very late-onset schizophrenia like psychosis is diagnosed in patients who develop symptoms after the age of 60 years. They present with some characteristics similar to those of early onset schizophrenia but pose many challenges in diagnosis and management. We report an 85 year old male patient presenting with a classical history of above ailment with interesting psychopathology and discuss the salient issues related to this rare geriatric condition. This case is unique, as to best of our knowledge the first reported case of such illness diagnosed at the age of 85 contrary to previous reports in which patients were diagnosed at the age of 70.
Probabilistic text structuring (2003)

Ordering information is a critical task for natural language generation applications. In this paper we propose an approach to information ordering that is particularly suited for text-to-text generation. We describe a model that learns constraints on sentence order from a corpus of domain-specific texts and an algorithm that yields the most likely order among several alternatives. We evaluate the automatically generated orderings against authored texts from our corpus and against human subjects that are asked to mimic the model's task. We also assess the appropriateness of such a model for multidocument summarization.
A new approach to motor condition monitoring in induction motor drives (2002)

An approach for condition monitoring of an electrical machine is proposed. The method uses the power leads of the machine itself as the communication link between the sending station located within the machine and the receiving station located remotely outside the machine. The required communication circuit for realizing data transmission for both the ordinary 60-Hz power line and the special PWM (pulse-width-modulated) inverter-fed power line is constructed. The communication circuit uses an asynchronous serial communication protocol and FSK (frequency shift keying) modulation for realizing frequency multiplexing in the power line. An online winding temperature monitoring system for an inverter-fed induction machine is constructed using this power line communication link. Experimental results demonstrate satisfactory operation of the system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Grid Ant Colony Optimization Applied to a Multi-robotic Garbage Collection System (2014)

Garbage recycling and collection problem is an interesting problem that researchers are applying swarm intelligence algorithms to solve. Some previous approaches used particle swarm optimization, immune systems and ant colony optimization algorithms and achieved good results. Ant colony optimization is a well-known swarm intelligence algorithm that is normally used to solve computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths in graphs. A multi-robotic system can be applied to solve this problem but it will need a control algorithm to accomplish the task. Applying the regular ant colony optimization algorithm to control the multi-robotic system is not a trivial task due to the graph representation needed. This work proposes modifications in the ant colony optimization algorithm that uses grid representation and applies the modified algorithm to solve this problem. The results showed a decrease of one order of magnitude in the number of iterations needed to solve the problem compared to the previous version of the algorithm. Considering the results the proposed algorithm showed to be able to control a multi-robotic system for the chosen problem.
Data Analysis Project: Leveraging Massive Textual Corpora Using n-Gram Statistics (2008)

Abstract : We study methods of efficiently leveraging massive textual corpora through n-gram statistics. Specifically, we explore algorithms that use a database of frequency counts for sequences of tokens in a teraword Web corpus to correct spelling mistakes and to extract a list of instances of some category given only the name of the target category. For spelling correction, we use a novel correction algorithm and demonstrate high accuracy in correcting both real-word errors and non-word errors. For category extraction, we show promising preliminary results for a variety of categories. We conclude that n-gram statistics provide an efficient way to use information contained in a massive corpus of text using relatively simple algorithms. The report ends with a reflection on problems encountered, possible solutions, and future work.
Production, characterization, and antigen specificity of recombinant 62‐71‐3, a candidate monoclonal antibody for rabies prophylaxis in humans (2013)

Rabies kills many people throughout the developing world every year. The murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) 62-71-3 was recently identified for its potential application in rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). The purpose here was to establish a plant-based production system for a chimeric mouse-human version of mAb 62-71-3, to characterize the recombinant antibody and investigate at a molecular level its interaction with rabies virus glycoprotein. Chimeric 62-71-3 was successfully expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana. Glycosylation was analyzed by mass spectroscopy; functionality was confirmed by antigen ELISA, as well as rabies and pseudotype virus neutralization. Epitope characterization was performed using pseudotype virus expressing mutagenized rabies glycoproteins. Purified mAb demonstrated potent viral neutralization at 500 IU/mg. A critical role for antigenic site I of the glycoprotein, as well as for two specific amino acid residues (K226 and G229) within site I, was identified with regard to mAb 62-71-3 neutralization. Pseudotype viruses expressing glycoprotein from lyssaviruses known not to be neutralized by this antibody were the controls. The results provide the molecular rationale for developing 62-71-3 mAb for rabies PEP; they also establish the basis for developing an inexpensive plant-based antibody product to benefit low-income families in developing countries.
Epidemiology of Soybean vein necrosis-associated virus (2013)

Soybean vein necrosis-associated virus has been linked to an emerging soybean disease in the United States and Canada. Virus distribution and population structure in major growing areas were evaluated. Data were employed to design and develop sensitive detection protocols, able to detect all virus isolates available in databases. The host range for the virus was assessed and several species were found to sustain virus replication, including ivyleaf morning glory, a common weed species in soybean-growing areas in the United States. Koch's postulates were fulfilled using soybean thrips and transmission efficiency was determined. This article provides significant insight into the biology of the most widespread soybean virus in the United States.
