What Makes New York So Noisy? (2015)

Noise pollution in modern cities is getting worse and sound sensors are sparse and costly, but it is highly demanded to have a system that can help reason and present the noise pollution at any region in urban areas. In this work, we leverage multimodal geo-social media data on Foursquare, Twitter, Flickr, and Gowalla in New York City, to infer and visualize the volume and the composition of noise pollution for every region in NYC. Using NYC 311 noise complaint records as the approximation of noise pollution for validation, we develop a joint inference and visualization system that integrates multimodal features, including geographical, mobility, visual, and social, with a graph-based learning model to infer the noise compositions of regions. Experimental results show that our model can achieve promising results with substantially few training data, compared to state-of-the-art methods. A NYC Urban Noise Diagnotor system is developed and allowed users to understand the noise composition of any region of NYC in an interactive manner.
Additive and electrolytic coloration of NaF (1974)

It is shown that well-characterized F and M centers can be introduced into NaF crystals by both additive and electrolytic coloring techniques. This success is attributed primarily to a substantial elimination of hydroxyl-ion contamination.
Carotenoids as food colorants (1983)

The carotenoids are a chemically related group of pigments which occur widely and abundantly in nature. Fruits, vegetables and vegetable oils, dairy products, leaves, shrimp, lobster, the plumage of exotic birds, all contain carotenoids. Chemically, the carotenoids may be divided into carotenes, made up of carbon and hydrogen only, and oxycarotenoids containing oxygen in addition to carbon and hydrogen. The use of carotenoid-containing plant extracts for coloring foods has been practiced for centuries and continues today. Advances in chemical synthesis resulted in the complete laboratory synthesis of beta carotene in 1950. Since then the commercial synthesis of several carotenoids has been accomplished. In the U.S. three of these commercially synthesized carotenoids, beta-carotene, beta-apo-8'-carotenal, and canthaxanthin, are accepted color additives for use in foods and are exempt from certification. These three carotenoids are also widely accepted for food use in other countries. This paper deals with the chemistry and synthesis of these three carotenoids, with special emphasis on their numerous commercially available market forms and their characteristics, and on the application of these carotenoids in the coloring of food products.
Low-Speed Pressure Sensitive Paint Studies (1998)

A series of low speed (M less than 0.2) experiments using University of Washington Fib-07 Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) have been conducted at NASA Ames on a NACA 0012 airfoil. Significant improvements in results have been shown: PSP calibration errors of the improved data (with pressure taps as a reference) now agree with theoretical error limits. Additional measurements on the 0012 airfoil using Temperature Sensitive Paint have been made. These TSP measurements now fully quantify the impact of temporal temperature changes on model surfaces on PSP measurements. Finally, simultaneous PSP - TSP measurements have been performed, allowing in-situ temperature correction of PSP data with good results.
Multiple Forms of TGF‐β: Distinct Promoters and Differential Expression (2007)

There are now five known distinct isoforms of TGF-beta with 64-82% identity. Of these, only TGF-beta 1, 2 and 3 thus far have been demonstrated to be expressed in mammalian tissues; TGF-beta 4 has been described only in chicken and TGF-beta 5 only in frog. Although the biological activities of these five isoforms of TGF-beta are indistinguishable in most in vitro assays their sites of synthesis and localization in vivo are often distinct. Expression of the various isoforms is differentially controlled both in vivo, as in development, and in vitro after treatment of cells with steroids, such as oestrogen or tamoxifen, or with retinoids. To investigate the basis of these observations we have cloned and characterized the promoters for the human TGF-beta 1, 2 and 3 genes. Significant differences have been found: whereas the TGF-beta 1 promoter has no TATAA box and is regulated principally by AP-1 sites, both the TGF-beta 2 and 3 promoters have TATAA boxes as well as AP-2 sites and cAMP-responsive elements. Accordingly, TGF-beta 1 gene expression is induced strongly by phorbol esters whereas that of TGF-beta 2 and 3 is induced by forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase. Expression of TGF-beta 2 and 3 is often coordinately regulated in vivo in a pattern distinct from that of TGF-beta 1.
ACH Walkthrough (2014)

This paper presents ACH Walkthrough, a prototype software client server application to demonstrate the potential benefits of surface technologies in collaborative security intelligence analysis. The basis is the ACH (Analysis of Competing Hypotheses) technique, which requests factors relating to evidence and hypotheses, and builds a model that reduces cognitive bias, thereby helping decision-making. Our application supports development of this model using visualization techniques that allow collaboration and reflection. The technology we use is surface computing, where analysts work around a large multi-touch display, but also multi-device technology, where the model is consistent across various large and small displays. The software runs in standard web-browsers, leveraging HTML5 and JavaScript libraries on both client and server. This allows deployment without installation, and thus security and flexibility.
Effects of a Low Concentration Hypochlorous Acid Nasal Irrigation Solution on Bacteria, Fungi, and Virus (2008)

A low concentration HOCl solution can be used as an effective nasal irrigation solution.
A MURA Detection Method Considering Human Vision Perception (2006)

A method to detect MURA, which is defined as irregular lightness variation on uniformly manufactured surface, is necessary to keep quality of the display devices. The MURA is inevitable matter for devices relating to image processing. Input devices, output devices and display devices have MURA of various levels which determine acceptance of device quality. We report the level of the contrast and resolution which is required to the MURA detection, through MURA detection of shadow masks as an example.
Application Analysis of Radial Tire Mould Assembly Process (2011)

The segmented mould is key equipment for vulcanizing meridian tires. It can open and close along radial direction and results in the minimum deformation on tire shape. This article introduced the structure of inclined plane radial parting mold and illustrated assembly methods to every part of the radial parting mold in detail and problems should be noticed. At last, this article presented the pressure test contents of semi-steel and all-steel mould and pointed certain adjustment methods to unreasonable gaps in segmented mould.
Expression of an inwardly rectifying K<sup>+</sup> channel, Kir4.1, in satellite cells of rat cochlear ganglia (1999)

Satellite cells are glial cells wrapped around somata of sensory and autonomic ganglion neurons. Neither their functional roles nor electrical properties have been fully clarified so far. Using immunohistochemistry, we found that inwardly rectifying K(+) channel subunit Kir4.1 (also called Kir1.2 or K(AB)-2) was expressed prominently in the satellite cells of cochlear ganglia. The Kir4.1 immunoreactivity was localized specifically at the myelin sheaths of satellite cells wrapping the somata of the ganglion neurons. Developmental expression of Kir4.1 in satellite cells paralleled development of the action potential in the auditory nerve. These results suggest that this channel in satellite cells may be responsible for the regulation of K(+) extruded from the ganglion neurons during excitation.
L'éthique selon la vertu : d'Aristote à Comte-Sponville (2011)

Dans cet article, il s’agit de comparer l’œuvre de Comte-Sponville sur les vertus à la virtue-ethics en vogue dans les pays anglo-saxons. On y reprend l’analyse des vertues cardinales, développée par Aristote, consacrée à la justice, à la tempérance, au courage, à la prudence (sagesse). Quel est le point commun entre toutes ces théories ? Probablement, le fait que les vertus sont des modulations de la distance entre les êtres, à laquelle elle répond. Ce sont des dispositions de l’individu, mais aussi des jugements sur autrui et son action.
Construction of a Laboratory Press for Use with the French Pressure Cell (1970)

A motor-driven hydraulic press has been designed to overcome problems previously encountered with the use of the French pressure cell.
Supraleitung in Chevrel‐Phasen (1979)

Abstract In den letzten Jahren sind mehrere ternäre Supraleiter entdeckt worden, die ungewöhnliche physikalische Eigenschaften besitzen. Unter diesen nehmen die Molybdänchalcogenide, oft als Chevrel‐Phasen bezeichnet, eine besondere Stellung ein. Einige dieser Verbindungen zeichnen sich durch sehr hohe kritische Magnetfelder aus, was für eine technische Anwendung von besonderem Interesse ist. In diesen Substanzen hat man auch zum ersten Mal die lange gesuchte Koexistenz von magnetischer Ordnung und Supraleitung feststellen können. In jüngster Zeit gelang es durch geeignete Verschmelzung von Mo 6 ‐Clustern, neue, für die Supraleitung interessante, Verbindungen herzustellen. Im Falle von Tl 2 Mo 6 Se 6 (T c = 3 K) führt diese Entwicklung zu einem quasi‐eindimensionalen metallischen System.
A Late Mitotic Regulatory Network Controlling Cyclin Destruction in<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> (1998)

Exit from mitosis requires the inactivation of mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase-cyclin complexes, primarily by ubiquitin-dependent cyclin proteolysis. Cyclin destruction is regulated by a ubiquitin ligase known as the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, members of a large class of late mitotic mutants, including cdc15, cdc5, cdc14, dbf2, and tem1, arrest in anaphase with a phenotype similar to that of cells expressing nondegradable forms of mitotic cyclins. We addressed the possibility that the products of these genes are components of a regulatory network that governs cyclin proteolysis. We identified a complex array of genetic interactions among these mutants and found that the growth defect in most of the mutants is suppressed by overexpression of SPO12, YAK1, and SIC1 and is exacerbated by overproduction of the mitotic cyclin Clb2. When arrested in late mitosis, the mutants exhibit a defect in cyclin-specific APC activity that is accompanied by high Clb2 levels and low levels of the anaphase inhibitor Pds1. Mutant cells arrested in G1 contain normal APC activity. We conclude that Cdc15, Cdc5, Cdc14, Dbf2, and Tem1 cooperate in the activation of the APC in late mitosis but are not required for maintenance of that activity in G1.
The structure of laccase protein and its synthesis by the commercial mushroom Agaricus bisporus (1993)

Agaricus bisporus secretes abundant laccase activity into the medium during mycelial growth. SDS-PAGE analysis of extracellular laccase protein, purified from compost extract, showed a predominant band of 65 kDa molecular mass, together with lesser amounts of smaller polypeptides. The main polypeptide was purified electrophoretically. Amino acid sequence analysis of the N-terminal region of the main polypeptide was used to specify the sequence of a 15-residue chemically synthesized peptide (N-terminal peptide). Rabbit antibodies were raised against pure laccase, electrophoretically purified main polypeptide and the synthetic N-terminal peptide. Electrophoretically purified main polypeptide antibody was further purified by affinity chromatography on laccase-CNBr-Sepharose. Western blot analysis showed that the antigenic behaviour of laccase in compost extract, culture filtrate from malt-extract culture, and the purified enzyme from both sources, differed. The patterns of bands revealed are most simply explained by generation of (proteolytically) partially cleaved enzyme molecules in the culture medium, possibly combined with differences in extent of glycosylation. [35S]Methionine incorporation and immunoprecipitation were used to follow laccase synthesis in cultures grown on malt extract. After short-term labelling, a single polypeptide of 68 kDa apparent molecular mass was immunoprecipitated from both mycelial extracts and the culture medium. When poly(A)-containing RNA from malt-extract-grown mycelium was translated in vitro in rabbit reticulocyte lysate, a single polypeptide of about 57 kDa molecular mass was immunoprecipitated, consistent with the previously measured carbohydrate content of 15% for the pure enzyme. After treatment with N-glycanase, the polypeptide showed an increase in mobility during SDS-PAGE consistent with a reduction in molecular mass of about 5 kDa, indicating about equal amounts of N- and O-linked carbohydrate. C-terminal labelling of pure laccase was attempted by transpeptidation with carboxypeptidase Y. Although some minor bands were labelled, the main polypeptide was not, indicating that the C-terminus of the enzyme may be blocked.
Complications Associated with Cataract Surgery (2013)

Cataract Surgery 222 behind the crystalline lens by the operating surgeon at the start of the operation. Management includes examination of the fundus to assess the extent of retinal damage and to apply argon laser photocoagulation or cryopexy to retinal breaks, if necessary(5). However, in most cases, examination of the fundus is usually difficult due to the presence of vitreous haemorrhage complicating the perforation. B scan ultrasonography is helpful in this context but vitrectomy surgery is usually indicated to remove the haemorrhage and deal with the retinal damage. Of note, in addition to the physical damage that could be caused by the needle injury to the globe, injection of the anaesthetic into the vitreous can also result in retinal toxicity and poor vision (6).
Treatment of pure red cell aplasia after major ABO-incompatible bone marrow transplantation resistant to erythropoietin. Bone Marrow Transplantation Team. (1994)

A case of pure red cell aplasia after major ABO-incompatible bone marrow transplantation with long duration of up to 482 days is presented. The patient exhibited resistance to treatment using intravenous gamma globulin, prednisolone and 8 week administration of erythropoietin. The patient finally responded to treatment using erythropoietin and methylprednisolone simultaneously. Because of its safety and efficacy, it might be worthwhile to try erythropoietin with methylprednisolone, if necessary, for pure red cell aplasia complicating major ABO-incompatible bone marrow transplantation.
An assessment of non-communicable diseases, diabetes, and related risk factors in the Republic of Palau: a systems perspective. (2013)

Non-communicable diseases (NCD) have been identified as a health emergency in the US-affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI).1 This assessment, funded by the National Institutes of Health, was conducted in the US Territory of Guam and describes the burdens due to NCD, with an emphasis on diabetes; and assesses the system of service capacity and current activities for service delivery, data collection, and reporting as well as identifying the issues that need to be addressed. There has been an increase of 2.6% in the total population between 2000 and 2010. Findings reveal that the risk factors of poor diet, lack of physical activity, and lifestyle behaviors are associated with overweight and obesity. The leading causes of death include heart disease, cancer, and cerebrovascular accidents. Population surveys show that 9.1% of the adult population in 2009 reported being diagnosed with diabetes. Other data reports show that of the adults, 35.4% were overweight and 25.9% were obese; and among youth, 30% were overweight or obese. Other findings show significant gaps in the system of administrative, clinical, data, and support services to address NCDs and diabetes. There is no Territory-wide health plan to address the prevention and control of NCDs including diabetes. There are no common standards of care or policy and procedures that are used by all the various medical and health care providers. Based on these findings, priority issues and needs were identified for the administrative and clinical systems.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in the gray tremor mutant mouse. (1985)

Gray tremor (gt) is an autosomal recessive mutation in the mouse linked to caracul (Ca) on chromosome 15. The complex mutant phenotype includes pigmentation defects, tremor, seizures, hypo- and dysmyelination in central and peripheral nervous systems, spongiform encephalopathy, and early death. The heterozygote (+/gt) is phenotypically normal but develops a mild spongiform encephalopathy from 2 months of age onward. The pigmentation and myelination disorders indicate that the gt genetic locus is active neonatally and probably earlier. This report focuses mainly on the later-expressed vacuolating disorder, which most closely mimics in tissue distribution, histopathology, and ultrastructure the spongiform encephalopathies caused by unconventional transmissible agents. This lesion was produced in genetically normal mice in a transmission experiment: of 99 neonatal mice inoculated intracerebrally with gt/gt brain homogenate, all 7 mice of three strains (BALB/cBy, C3HeB/FeJ, and C57BL/6J) allowed to survive for the unusually long interval of 682-721 days after inoculation, developed spongiform changes distributed as in the mutant phenotype. The gray tremor mutant presents a naturally occurring spongiform encephalopathy whose expression is determined by the interaction of genetic factors and a transmissible agent.
Growth and Viability of Bifidobacterium bifidum in Cheddar Cheese (1994)

Bifidobacterium bifidum (ATCC 15696) was grown in MRS broth containing cysteine.HCl at 37 degrees C, and the cells were harvested by centrifuging at 1300 x g for 15 min at 4 degrees C. Equal volumes of the cell slurry and a 2.5% solution of kappa-carrageenan were mixed and transferred by drops into a solution of .3 M KCl at 20 degrees C under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The gelled beads were separated, frozen, and lyophilized immediately. This preparation and a commercial powder preparation were added to Cheddar cheese curd at milling as two treatments. Treatments did not affect cheese composition. Soluble protein increased during ripening at 7 degrees C but without differences between treatments; SDS-PAGE patterns of proteolysis were also similar. Lactic acid content of cheeses increased during ripening, but differences between treatments were minor. Acetic acid and ethanol, common metabolites of bifidobacteria, were not detected during ripening. Bifidobacteria remained viable and increased in numbers in cheese during this 24-wk study but did not affect the flavor, flavor intensity, texture, or appearance of the cheese compared with that of the control.
Diagnostic Data: An Aid to the Follow‐up and Assessment of the Pacing System (1987)

Some pacemakers are capable of storing in memory and then, upon command, reporting the frequency of pacing and sensing in either or both cardiac chambers as well as other features of pacetnaker function. Rate and possibly sensor histograms can be generated automatically by the system to facilitate an assessment of its behavior over a period of time. Although available in some single‐ chamber Vitatron pacemakers and the Siemens‐Pacesetter Sensolog, this paper reviews the utility of this technology in both single‐ and dual‐chamber Intermedics units in the assessment of programmed rate and AV interval parameters and overall pacing system function. In the Intermedics' systems, this capability is called Diagnostic Data.
Regulation of adipose tissue T cell subsets by Stat3 is crucial for diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance (2013)

Dysregulated inflammation in adipose tissue, marked by increased proinflammatory T-cell accumulation and reduced regulatory T cells (Tregs), contributes to obesity-associated insulin resistance. The molecular mechanisms underlying T-cell-mediated inflammation in adipose tissue remain largely unknown, however. Here we show a crucial role for signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) in T cells in skewing adaptive immunity in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), thereby contributing to diet-induced obesity (DIO) and insulin resistance. Stat3 activity is elevated in obese VAT and in VAT-resident T cells. Functional ablation of Stat3 in T cells reduces DIO, improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, and suppresses VAT inflammation. Importantly, Stat3 ablation reverses the high Th1/Treg ratio in VAT of DIO mice that is likely secondary to elevated IL-6 production, leading in turn to suppression of Tregs. In addition, Stat3 in T cells in DIO mice affects adipose tissue macrophage accumulation and M2 phenotype. Our study identifies Stat3 in VAT-resident T cells as an important mediator and direct target for regulating adipose tissue inflammation, DIO, and its associated metabolic dysfunctions.
Therapie und Prognose bei intrathorakalem Morbus Hodgkin<sup>*</sup> (1975)

Of 220 patients with Hodgkin's disease 117 (53%) who also had mediastinal and hilar lymph-node involvement were followed between 1958 and 1971. In 13 (11%) intrathoracic involvement was the first manifestation of the tumour. In 73 patients it was in stage I or II (Rye) at time of diagnosis. Treatment consisted of irradiation and/or multiple chemotherapy. Altogether 45% survived five years and 27% ten years. However, there was no patient who was free of recurrence after ten years, i.e. none can be considered as potentially cured.
