Moringa frequently asked questions (2017)

The moringa tree Moringa oleifera is increasingly being studied for numerous properties of applied interest. In the course of work on these properties, many questions arise from both scientists and potential consumers. Here I address some of the most common such questions. I explain that moringa's correct scientific name is Moringa oleifera Lam., and that Moringa pterygosperma is not a synonym but an illegitimate name. The wild range of Moringa oleifera is unknown but it might be native of lowland northwestern India. It is cultivated in all tropical countries, but it is probably best to avoid saying that it is “naturalized” because some uses of this word imply that the plant has become invasive. There are thirteen described species in the genus Moringa, but additional new species probably await description, especially in northeast Africa. Traditionally, leaves of Moringa oleifera, M. concanensis, and M. stenopetala are eaten, and the tubers of young M. peregrina are sometimes eaten roasted. All other species have local medicinal uses. Current commercial use so far emphasizes M. oleifera dried leaf meal in capsules, often touting protein content. Simple calculations show that capsules have negligible protein nutritional value. Such use in pill form rather than as a food leads to the frequent question of whether moringa has “side effects”. A review of studies shows that moringa has low levels of trypsin inhibitors, tannins, saponins, and lectins, meaning that there is no reason to expect that normal levels of consumption would lead to discomfort from these compounds. Nearly 40% of moringa calcium may be present in the form of oxalates, but current data suggest that these are insoluble, excreted, and do not contribute to the formation of kidney stones. Goitrogenic glucosinolates are probably absent, and if present are probably in very low concentrations. Moringa might have abortifacient potential, especially in concentrates. Given its usefulness and relative lack of antinutritional factors, there is global interest in growing moringa, so I examine its climate preferences. Moringa oleifera is a plant of the lowland dry tropics, growing best in places where annual low temperatures do not dip below 15°C, rainfall is less than 1500 mm and distributed in one or two rainy seasons, and below 500 m a.s.l. I conclude by underscoring the need for studies of all of these aspects across the entire diversity within M. oleifera and across the genus.
Recognizing Nepotistic Links on the Web (2000)

The use of link analysis and page popularity in search engines has grown recently to improve query result rankings. Since the number of such links contributes to the value of the document in such calculations, we wish to recognize and eliminate nepotistic links --- links between pages that are present for reasons other than merit. This paper explores some of the issues surrounding the question of what links to keep, and we report high accuracy in initial experiments to show the potential for using a machine learning tool to automatically recognize such links. Introduction Recently there has been growing interest in the research community in using analysis of link information of the Web (Bharat &amp; Henzinger 1998; Brin &amp; Page 1998; Chakrabarti et al. 1998b; 1998a; Chakrabarti, Dom, &amp; Indyk 1998; Gibson, Kleinberg, &amp; Raghavan 1998a; 1998b; Kleinberg 1998; Page et al. 1998; Chakrabarti et al. 1999a; Chakrabarti, van den Berg, &amp; Dom 1999; Chakrabarti et al. 1999b; Henzinger et al...
Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (1973)

Ninety-five percent of overweight people have a metabolic and not an eating disorder. Once metabolism is changed, the body adjusts automatically to a new way of burning fat. With Atkins' new diet program, dieters no longer crave high-carbohydrate foods, and can eat as much as they want and not feel hungry.
Some Properties of Neutral Proteinases I and II of<i>Aspergillus sojae</i>as Zinc-containing Metalloenzyme (1972)

Some experiments were carried out with purified neutral proteinases I and II of Aspergillus sojae in relation to their characteristics as metalloenzyme. The both enzymes contained one gram atom of zinc and about two gram atoms of calcium per mole (molecular weights of 41,700 for I and 19,800 for II were estimated by gel filtration) of enzyme protein, and the zinc was essential for the activity. Some metal-chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), o-phenanthroline, 8-hydroxyquinoline and α,α′-dipyridyl, inhibited the activity of the both enzymes. In the inactivation of neutral proteinase II by EDTA a distinct pH-dependency was observed. The EDTA-inactivated enzymes were reactivated fully or partially by the addition of some metal ions such as Zn2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ (only neutral proteinase II) and Ni2+. Zinc-free apo-enzymes were prepared from the native enzymes by the dialysis against EDTA solution. The apo-enzyme of neutral proteinase I still contained calcium, while that of neutral proteinase II did not. The apo-enzymes restored their activity for the most part either by the addition of excess amount of zinc or by mixing with a stoichiometric amount of zinc in the presence of calcium at an alkaline condition.
Ibm san survival guide (2003)

Protect your data with an IBM SAN Build a SAN too tough to die Survive and conquer As we all know, large ocean going ships never collide with icebergs. However, occasionally life deals out some unexpected pleasures for us to cope with. Surviving any disaster in life is usually a lot easier if you have prepared adequately by taking into account the likely problems, solutions, and their implementation. In this IBM Redbook, we limit ourselves to those situations in which it is likely that a SAN will be deployed. We present the IBM SAN portfolio of products, going a little under the surface to show the fault tolerant features that they utilize, and then describe solutions with all these features taken into account. Each of these solutions was built on practical experience, in some cases with cost in mind, in some cases with no cost in mind. Any well-thought-out SAN design will have taken every single one of these concerns into account, and either formulated a solution for it, or ignored it, but nonetheless understanding the potential exposure. With these points in mind, in this redbook we have two objectives: to position the IBM SAN products that are currently in our portfolio; and to show how those products can be configured together to build a SAN that not only allows you to survive most forms of disaster, but also provides performance benefits. So, make sure that you know what to do if you hit an iceberg!
Cloning and identification of testis-specific transcription elongation factor S-II. (1994)

A new S-II cDNA clone was isolated from a rat testis library. This cDNA contained an open reading frame encoding 299 amino acid residues. The deduced amino- and carboxyl-terminal regions were very similar with those of Ehrlich cell S-II, which we reported previously, but the sequence of the intervening 46 amino acid residues was unique. This new S-II was expressed in the testis but not in the other rat tissues examined, suggesting that it was a testis-specific S-II. Recombinant testis-specific S-II produced in Escherichia coli was shown to stimulate RNA polymerase II.

Direct power control of voltage source inverters with unbalanced grid voltages (2008)

A new approach of direct power control (DPC) of a voltage source inverter for achieving symmetrical grid currents under unbalanced grid voltage conditions is presented. In these situations, negative sequence components appear on the grid voltage vector, leading to distorted currents if the power is maintained constant. Nevertheless, sinusoidal balanced grid currents can be achieved through control. Several current controllers have already been modified to overcome voltage imbalance with good results. Here, sinusoidal grid currents are obtained by directly controlling power, which becomes a novel approach and keeps DPC philosophy. A phase locked loop is necessary to obtain positive sequence voltage angle. A very simple positive and negative sequence calculator is also used so that power references can be modified in order to obtain balanced grid currents. Simulated and experimental results are presented to confirm the validity of the method.
VDML: A MODELING Language for New Vehicle Development (2007)

Designing a new vehicle is a complex process as it requires close coordination and inputs from a number of disciplines in developing a number of systems and sub-systems in the vehicle that should fit within the confined vehicle space, function and provide the customers an acceptable combination of all relevant vehicles attributes. Understanding how these process interact and how they are aligned with other and process while they should supporting the operation tasks of the conception of a new vehicle at minimum time and cost. The first step to achieve this goal is to define a new UML profile (VDML language) based on the extension mechanics of UML (industry standard language) to assist business process description and consequent improvements originated from a high level vision.
APPLICATION OF GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMIZATION OF SEPARATOR PRESSURES IN MULTISTAGE PRODUCTION UNITS (2014)

In this article, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the separator pressures in a multistage crude oil and multistage gas condensate production unit with four and three separators respectively. This leads to the generation of more accurate results for the quality and quantity of oil remaining in the stock tank for both crude oil and gas condensate production units. Genetic-based optimized pressures for crude oil separators resulted in 1.8% and 2% enhancement in oil remaining in the stock tank for summer and winter respectively. API gravity of the stock tank oil was improved 2.4% in summer and 2.2% in winter. For the gas condensate production unit, optimized pressures can enhance by 8.6% and 8.1% the oil remaining in the stock tank for summer and winter respectively. The API gravity of stock tank liquid also increased by 2.6% for both summer and winter.
Multivalent Interaction of Cyclodextrin Vesicles, Carbohydrate Guests, and Lectins: A Kinetic Investigation (2010)

An artificial glycocalix self-assembles when unilamellar bilayer vesicles of amphiphilic β-cyclodextrins are decorated with maltose- and lactose-adamantane conjugates by host-guest interactions. The maltose-decorated vesicles aggregate in the presence of lectin concanavalin A whereas the lactose-decorated vesicles aggregate in the presence of lectin peanut agglutinin. The kinetics of the orthogonal multivalent interfacial interactions present in this ternary system of vesicles, carbohydrates, and lectins were studied by time-dependent measurements of the optical density at 400 nm. The average vesicle and vesicle aggregate sizes were monitored by dynamic light scattering. The aggregation process was evaluated as a function of lectin concentration, vesicle concentration, and surface coverage of the vesicles by the carbohydrate-adamantane conjugates. The initial rate of vesicle aggregation scales linearly with the lectin as well as the cyclodextrin vesicle concentration. Furthermore, each lectin requires a characteristic critical density of carbohydrates at the vesicle surface. These observations allow a prediction of the response of the ternary supramolecular system at different concentrations of its components. Also, the effective binding site separation in a multivalent receptor such as a multiple binding site protein can be accurately determined. This methodology can be extended to multivalent noncovalent interactions in other ligand-receptor systems at interfaces.
HLA-E gene polymorphism associates with ankylosing spondylitis in Sardinia (2009)

There is a strong association between the presence of a haplotype in genes mapping between HLA-E and HLA-C and AS due to an increase of homozygous markers in patients. The strongest association however, is with the HLA-E functional polymorphism rs1264457. Since HLA-E is the ligand for the NKG2A receptor, these data point to the natural killer (NK) activity as possible player in the pathogenesis of AS.
Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator Stimulates the Ras/Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase (ERK) Signaling Pathway and MCF-7 Cell Migration by a Mechanism That Requires Focal Adhesion Kinase, Src, and Shc (2000)

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) stimulates MCF-7 cell migration by binding to the UPA receptor and activating the Ras-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Ras-ERK) signaling pathway. Studies presented here show that soluble uPA receptor and a peptide derived from the linker region between domains 1 and 2 of the uPA receptor also stimulate cellular migration via a mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK)-dependent pathway. Signaling proteins that function upstream of Ras in uPA- stimulated cells remain undefined. To address this problem, we transfected MCF-7 cells to express the noncatalytic carboxylterminal domain of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), FAK(Y397F), kinase-defective c-Src, or Shc FFF, all of which express dominant-negative activity. In each case, ERK phosphorylation and cellular migration in response to uPA were blocked. Both activities were rescued by co-transfecting the cells to express constitutively active MEK1, indicating that FAK, c-Src, and Shc are upstream of MEK. Shc was tyrosine-phosphorylated in uPA-treated cells. The level of phosphorylated Shc was increased within 1 min and remained increased for at least 30 min. Sos co-immunoprecipitated with Shc in cells that were treated with uPA for 1-2.5 min, probably reflecting the formation of Shc-Grb2/Sos complex; however, by 10 min, co-immunoprecipitation of Sos with Shc was no longer observed. Rapid dissociation of Sos from Shc represents a possible mechanism for the transient phosphorylation of ERK in uPA-treated MCF-7 cells.
A novel ballast for electrodeless fluorescent lamps (2002)

Electrodeless, inductively coupled discharges eliminate the prevailing cause of lamp failure. The torus shaped arc yields a very compact, long life luminary, capable of instant light and fast warm-up. This paper reviews contemporary electrodeless technologies, from a ballast perspective. The focus of the paper is a new, complementary, Class D inverter, its attributes and its design methodology. A frequency shift keying (FSK) technique controls the power applied to the induction coil. Applications include recessed lighting and table lamps.
Statistical approach for finding sensitive positions for condition based monitoring of reciprocating air compressors (2011)

Reciprocating air compressors are one of the most popular and widely used machines in industry today. Timely detection of fault occurring in these machines becomes very critical since it influences the plant performance by virtue of system reliability, operating efficiency and maintenance cost. Monitoring of faults by identifying sensitive positions through sensory output forms vital part of everyday manufacturing. Health monitoring of a reciprocating air compressor using PC based data acquisition system and timely identification of potential faults can prevent failures of the entire system. Various transducers, data acquisition DAQ hardware and relevant software forms the basic components of the health monitoring system. Prior to acquiring the data for health monitoring and consequently the fault diagnosis, it is crucial to locate the sensitive positions on the machine. This paper proposes a scheme to determine the sensitive positions on a machine in healthy condition, based on computation of statistical parameters such as Peak value, Standard Deviation, RMS value, Variance and Cross Correlation.
Heterogeneous Surface Crystallization Observed in Undercooled Water (2005)

We report laboratory observations of higher freezing temperatures when an ice-forming nucleus is near the surface of an undercooled water drop than when the nucleus is immersed in the drop. The nucleation rate at the water surface is a factor of 10(10) greater than in bulk water, thereby complementing and providing evidence for homogeneous surface crystallization, which has been hypothesized recently. Interpretation of the data via classical nucleation theory shows that the free energy of formation of a critical ice germ is decreased by a factor of approximately 2 when the substrate is near the air-water interface. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that the jump frequency of molecules from the liquid to the solid may be greatly enhanced at the interface.
A 1.8V 1.6GS/s 8b self-calibrating folding ADC with 7.26 ENOB at Nyquist frequency (2004)

A 1.8V folding-interpolating ADC in 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS uses small device sizes to achieve a conversion rate exceeding 1.6GS/s. The inherent mismatch offsets are calibrated transparently, and at 1.6GS/s the ADC achieves 0.15LSB DNL, 0.35LSB INL, 7.5 ENOB at 100MHz input, and 7.26 ENOB at Nyquist.
Thickness and temperature dependence of magnetic anisotropies in ultrathin fcc Co(001) structures (1993)

Metastable fcc Co(001) structures were grown on fcc Cu(001) using molecular beam epitaxy. Magnetic properties of these structures were studied using the ferromagnetic resonance technique. The uniaxial perpendicular and fourfold in-plane anisotropies are presented for different thicknesses. Both anisotropies are shown to be well described by a sum of contributions from the constant volume term and the 1/d-dependent surface term. The effect of tetragonal distortion on magnetic anisotropies is presented. The temperature dependence of anisotropies is discussed.
Demixed Principal Component Analysis (2011)

In many experiments, the data points collected live in high-dimensional observation spaces, yet can be assigned a set of labels or parameters. In electrophysiological recordings, for instance, the responses of populations of neurons generally depend on mixtures of experimentally controlled parameters. The heterogeneity and diversity of these parameter dependencies can make visualization and interpretation of such data extremely difficult. Standard dimensionality reduction techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) can provide a succinct and complete description of the data, but the description is constructed independent of the relevant task variables and is often hard to interpret. Here, we start with the assumption that a particularly informative description is one that reveals the dependency of the high-dimensional data on the individual parameters. We show how to modify the loss function of PCA so that the principal components seek to capture both the maximum amount of variance about the data, while also depending on a minimum number of parameters. We call this method demixed principal component analysis (dPCA) as the principal components here segregate the parameter dependencies. We phrase the problem as a probabilistic graphical model, and present a fast Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. We demonstrate the use of this algorithm for electrophysiological data and show that it serves to demix the parameter-dependence of a neural population response. 1

Ammosamides A and B Target Myosin (2008)

The protein target of the ammosamides, cytotoxic natural products from a marine-derived actinomycete, has been elucidated. An immunoaffinity fluorescent tag was used to construct a fluorescent molecular probe (see structure). First, uptake and localization of the probe in cells was visualized with fluorescence microscopy. The probe was then used to co-immunoprecipitate proteins that bound to the ammosamide core. Myosin was thus identified as a target. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”. Such documents are peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They are made available as submitted by the authors. Please note: The publisher is not responsible for the content or functionality of any supporting information supplied by the authors.

Mechanical proofs about BW multi-party contract signing protocol (2006)

We report on the verification of a multi-party contract signing protocol described by Baum-Waidner and Waidner (BW). Based on Paulson's inductive approach, we give the protocol model that includes infinitely many signatories and contract texts signing simultaneously. We consider composite attacks of the dishonest signatory and the external intruder, formalize cryptographic primitives and protocol arithmetic including attack model, show formal description of key distribution, and prove signature key secrecy theorems and fairness property theorems of the BW protocol using the interactive theorem, prover Isabelle/HOL.
A Robot Control and Augmented Reality Interface for Multiple Robots (2009)

Augmented reality technology is useful for interaction with robotic devices. A user can see the status of and direct orders to robots in the actual operating environment rather than on a remote computer console. A system is presented where fiducial markers are used for the dual purpose of reading the position of a multi-robot system and for user interaction using augmented reality. A user can observe, with the assistance of a hand-held device or wearable eyepiece display, the planned motion and tasks of the robots. An intuitive interface allows the robots to be retasked dynamically. A scalable system architecture and a prototype is presented.
