Combined differential and common-mode scattering parameters: theory and simulation (1995)

A theory for combined differential and common-mode normalized power waves is developed in terms of even and odd mode impedances and propagation constants for a microwave coupled line system. These are related to even and odd-mode terminal currents and voltages. Generalized s-parameters of a two-port are developed for waves propagating in several coupled modes. The two-port s-parameters form a 4-by-4 matrix containing differential-mode, common-mode, and cross-mode s-parameters. A special case of the theory allows the use of uncoupled transmission lines to measure the coupled-mode waves. Simulations verify the concept of these mixed-mode s-parameters, and demonstrate conversion from mode to mode for asymmetric microwave structures.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Cryogenic particle detectors (1996)

A review of cryogenic particle detectors is presented. A major motivation for developing this type of particle detector is their superior sensitivity to weakly ionizing particle interactions. This makes them suitable devices for detecting solar neutrinos via the coherent neutrino scattering off nuclei and for detecting non-baryonic dark matter candidates in our galactic halo. Cryogenic particle detectors have reached, and in some cases already surpassed, the high energy resolution of the best semiconducting detectors, and they have the potential of becoming the next generation of high-resolution detectors. The emphasis of this review is on the basic condensed matter physics of these low-temperature detectors and to present an overview of the present experimental status.

Towards sustainable in-situ server systems in the big data era (2015)

Recent years have seen an explosion of data volumes from a myriad of distributed sources such as ubiquitous cameras and various sensors. The challenges of analyzing these geographically dispersed datasets are increasing due to the significant data movement overhead, time-consuming data aggregation, and escalating energy needs. Rather than constantly move a tremendous amount of raw data to remote warehouse-scale computing systems for processing, it would be beneficial to leverage in-situ server systems (InS) to pre-process data, i.e., bringing computation to where the data is located.
N <i>ε</i> ‐Carboxymethyl‐Lysine Negatively Regulates Foam Cell Migration via the Vav1/Rac1 Pathway (2020)

CML inhibits the migration of foam cells from blood vessels via the Vav1/Rac1 pathway, and this process affects the formation of lamellipodia.
Phylogenetic Analysis of the pPT23A Plasmid Family of <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i> (2006)

The pPT23A plasmid family of Pseudomonas syringae contains members that contribute to the ecological and pathogenic fitness of their P. syringae hosts. In an effort to understand the evolution of these plasmids and their hosts, we undertook a comparative analysis of the phylogeny of plasmid genes and that of conserved chromosomal genes from P. syringae. In total, comparative sequence and phylogenetic analyses were done utilizing 47 pPT23A family plasmids (PFPs) from 16 pathovars belonging to six genomospecies. Our results showed that the plasmid replication gene (repA), the only gene currently known to be distributed among all the PFPs, had a phylogeny that was distinct from that of the P. syringae hosts of these plasmids and from those of other individual genes on PFPs. The phylogenies of two housekeeping chromosomal genes, those for DNA gyrase B subunit (gyrB) and primary sigma factor (rpoD), however, were strongly associated with genomospecies of P. syringae. Based on the results from this study, we conclude that the pPT23A plasmid family represents a dynamic genome that is mobile among P. syringae pathovars.
Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chloride, and the Respiration of Maize Root Sections (1962)

The effects of sodium chloride and calcium chloride at concentrations of 0.005N and 0.010N upon the respiration of vacuolated and nonvacuolated portions of the root tip of maize have been investigated. In both sections CaCl(2) produced marked stimulation, while NaCl had no effect. In this tissue stimulation of respiration does not appear to be directly related to metabolic ion accumulation.
Successful Treatment of Class V+IV Lupus Nephritis with Multitarget Therapy (2008)

Treatment of class V+IV lupus nephritis remains unsatisfactory despite the progress made in the treatment of diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis. In this prospective study, 40 patients with class V+IV lupus nephritis were randomly assigned to induction therapy with mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, and steroids (multitarget therapy) or intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVCY). Patients were treated for 6 mo unless complete remission was not achieved, in which case treatment was extended to 9 mo. An intention-to-treat analysis revealed a higher rate of complete remission with multitarget therapy at both 6 and 9 mo (50 and 65%, respectively) than with IVCY (5 and 15%, respectively). At 6 mo, eight (40%) patients in each group experienced partial remission, and at 9 mo, six (30%) patients receiving multitarget therapy and eight (40%) patients receiving IVCY experienced partial remission. There were no deaths during this study. Most adverse events were less frequent in the multitarget therapy group. Calcineurin inhibitor nephrotoxicity was not observed, but three patients developed new-onset hypertension with multitarget therapy. In conclusion, multitarget therapy is superior to IVCY for inducing complete remission of class V+IV lupus nephritis and is well tolerated.

Tall Fescue Sward Dynamics: II. Influence of Four Plant Growth Regulators (1993)

Very little is known about the influence of plant growth regulators (PGRs) on turfgrass sward dynamics (including shoot development and mortality) and reproductive development. PGR‐induced growth suppression might increase assimilate supply to axillary buds, resulting in their release. A 2‐yr study was conducted to determine the impact of four PGRs applied in late March on the sward dynamics of ‘Kentucky 31’ tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). Maleic hydrazide [1,2‐dihydro‐3,6‐pyridazinedione] and mefluidide N ‐(2,4‐dimethyl‐5‐[([trifluoromethyl]‐sulfonyl)amino]phenyl)acetamide], two PGRs that suppress vegetative and reproductive growth, were applied at 4.48 and 0.56 kg ha −1 , respectively. Flurprimidol [α‐(1‐methylethyl)‐α‐[4‐(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]‐5‐pyrimidinemethanol] and paclobutrazol [( R *, R *)‐(±)‐β‐[(4‐chlorophenyl)methyl]‐α‐,(1,1dimethylethyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐1‐ethanol], two PGRs that suppress vegetative growth only, were each applied at 1.12 kg ha −1 . Twenty shoots were labeled at random in each plot and observed 3, 6, 10, 14, 19, and 31 weeks after treatment (WAT). Maleic hydrazide and mefluidide treatments caused 75% shoot mortality (55% greater than the control) by 10 WAT; however, stand density was unaffected by maleic hydrazide and mefluidide, due to the release of axillary buds beginning 2 WAT. Maleic hydrazide and mefluidide induced a postinhibition growth response, with proliferation of new shoots and rapid growth of shoots surviving chemical treatment. Leaf and crown total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) declined during the postinhibition response from 4 to 6 WAT. Flurprimidol and paclobutrazol, despite effective foliar growth suppression, failed to influence shoot mortality, axillary bud release, or TNC levels. Patterns of TNC partitioning in response to PGRs, though different, did not appear to be the result of the effectiveness of seedhead suppression.
Learning to Compose with Professional Photographs on the Web (2017)

Photo composition is an important factor affecting the aesthetics in photography. However, it is a highly challenging task to model the aesthetic properties of good compositions due to the lack of globally applicable rules to the wide variety of photographic styles. Inspired by the thinking process of photo taking, we formulate the photo composition problem as a view finding process which successively examines pairs of views and determines their aesthetic preferences. We further exploit the rich professional photographs on the web to mine unlimited high-quality ranking samples and demonstrate that an aesthetics-aware deep ranking network can be trained without explicitly modeling any photographic rules. The resulting model is simple and effective in terms of its architectural design and data sampling method. It is also generic since it naturally learns any photographic rules implicitly encoded in professional photographs. The experiments show that the proposed view finding network achieves state-of-the-art performance with sliding window search strategy on two image cropping datasets.
Polymers in Solar Energy: Applications and Opportunities (1983)

Polymers have many potential applications in solar technologies that can help achieve total system cost-effectiveness. For this potential to be realized, three major parameters must be optimized: cost, performance, and durability. Optimization must be achieved despite operational stresses, some of which are unique to solar technologies. This paper identifies performance of optical elements as critical to solar system performance and summarizes the status of several optical elements: flat-plate collector glazings, mirror glazings, dome enclosures, photovoltaic encapsulation, luminescent solar concentrators, and Fresnel lenses. Research and development efforts are needed to realize the full potential of polymers to reduce life-cycle solar energy conversion costs. Problem areas which are identified are the interactions of a material with or its response to the total environment; photodegradation; permeability/adhesion; surfaces and interfaces; thermomechanical behavior; dust adhesion; and abrasion resistance. Polymeric materials can play a key role in the future development of solar energy systems [1]. Polymers offer potentially lower costs, easier processing, lighter weight, and greater design flexibility than materials in current use.
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF NYLON-66 BEER ADSORBATE. I. PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS AND ANTHOCYANOGEN CONTENTS (1970)

A short survey of the polyphenolic substances of interest in brewing research and practice is given and a simple but comprehensive classification of phenolics (“tannins”) is proposed. A preliminary investigation has been made of the chemical constituents of a Nylon-66 beer adsorbate from a Canadian ale. Different fractions were obtained from the Nylon resin beer adsorbate and its caustic desorbate by using various organic solvents for extraction; the extractive power and selectivity of different solvents are compared. The anthocyanogen content of various fractions was determined by five different methods, and the widely varying results obtained indicate the serious shortcomings of the methods at present available for anthocyanogen determination.
Low-Loss Unidirectional SAW Filters Using Integrated Micro-Inductors (1983)

SAW filters using GUDTs and Three Phase (TP) UDTs for excitation and detection have been described and demonstrated, requiring smaller values of inductors. Use of the new phase shifter eliminates the lossy meander line running t hrough the transducers in case of GUDTs and requires less number of discrete components in case of TPUDTs. A thin film capacitance existing between the l ayers of feed electrodes because of the new configuration is used to advantage. A simple approach for the integration of the complete filter. including the matching and the phase shifting networks has been suggested. which may be helpful in its mass produc- tion. using present state of art of LSI fabrication techniques, tremendously reducing the u nit cost thereby. The theoretical analysis has been done using the cross field equivalent circuit model of the filter for apodised and unapodised transducers used in the filters. The measured insertion l oss of the filters using GUDTs is found to be appreciably smaller than the earlier reported ones. It has also been possible to fabricate and test the filters using TPUDTs in GHz range of frequency (using the presently developed technique). giving encouraging results. The insertion loss is expected to reduce further by more precise experimentation. The theo- retical and experimental results a re i n good agreement with each other.
The IL-17 Family of Cytokines in Psoriasis: IL-17A and Beyond (2018)

Psoriasis is a frequent chronic inflammatory skin disease, nowadays considered a major global health problem. Several new drugs, targeting the IL-23/IL-17A pathway, have been recently licensed or are in clinical development. These therapies represent a major improvement of the way in which psoriasis is managed, since they show an unprecedented efficacy on skin symptoms of psoriasis. This has been made possible, thanks to an increasingly more accurate pathogenic view of psoriasis. Today, the belief that Th17 cells mediate psoriasis is moving to the concept of psoriasis as an IL-17A-driven disease. New questions arise at the horizon, given that IL-17A is part of a newly described family of cytokines, which has five distinct homologous: IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E, also known as IL-25 and IL-17F. IL-17 family cytokines elicit similar effects in target cells, but simultaneously trigger different and sometimes opposite functions in a tissue-specific manner. This is complicated by the fact that IL-17 cytokines show a high capacity of synergisms with other inflammatory stimuli. In this review, we will summarize the current knowledge around the cytokines belonging to the IL-17 family in relation to skin inflammation in general and psoriasis in particular, and discuss possible clinical implications. A comprehensive understanding of the different roles played by the IL-17 cytokines is crucial to appreciate current and developing therapies and to allow an effective pathogenesis- and mechanisms-driven drug design.
Opposite effects of unmodified prolactin and a molecular mimic of phosphorylated prolactin on morphology and the expression of prostate specific genes in the normal rat prostate (2002)

We conclude that PRL is an important modulator of normal rat prostate biology and that different forms of PRL have specific functions. The molecular mimic of phosphorylated PRL, S179D PRL, is the most important in terms of epithelial cell differentiation.
Mucin gel assembly is controlled by a collective action of non-mucin proteins, disulfide bridges, Ca2+-mediated links, and hydrogen bonding (2018)

Mucus is characterized by multiple levels of assembly at different length scales which result in a unique set of rheological (flow) and mechanical properties. These physical properties determine its biological function as a highly selective barrier for transport of water and nutrients, while blocking penetration of pathogens and foreign particles. Altered integrity of the mucus layer in the small intestine has been associated with a number of gastrointestinal tract pathologies such as Crohn's disease and cystic fibrosis. In this work, we uncover an intricate hierarchy of intestinal mucin (Muc2) assembly and show how complex rheological properties emerge from synergistic interactions between mucin glycoproteins, non-mucin proteins, and Ca<sup>2+</sup>. Using a novel method of mucus purification, we demonstrate the mechanism of assembly of Muc2 oligomers into viscoelastic microscale domains formed via hydrogen bonding and Ca<sup>2+</sup>-mediated links, which require the joint presence of Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions and non-mucin proteins. These microscale domains aggregate to form a heterogeneous yield stress gel-like fluid, the macroscopic rheological properties of which are virtually identical to that of native intestinal mucus. Through proteomic analysis, we short-list potential protein candidates implicated in mucin assembly, thus paving the way for identifying the molecules responsible for the physiologically critical biophysical properties of mucus.
Detecting privacy and ethical sensitivity in data mining results (2004)

Knowledge discovery allows considerable insight into data. This brings with it the inherent risk that what is inferred may be private or ethically sensitive. The process of generating rules through a mining operation becomes an ethical issue when the results are used in decision making processes that e#ect people, or when mining customer data unwittingly compromises the privacy of those customers.
Manganese Deficiency Can Replace High Oxygen Levels Needed for Lignin Peroxidase Formation by <i>Phanerochaete chrysosporium</i> (1999)

The combined effects of Mn and oxygen on lignin peroxidase (LIP) activity and isozyme composition in Phanerochaete chrysosporium were studied by using shallow stationary cultures grown in the presence of limited or excess N. When no Mn was added, LIP was formed in both N-limited and N-excess cultures exposed to air, but no LIP activity was observed at Mn concentrations greater than 13 mg/liter. In oxygen-flushed, N-excess cultures, LIP was formed at all Mn concentrations, and the peak LIP activity values in the extracellular fluid were nearly identical in the presence of Mn concentrations ranging from 3 to 1,500 mg/liter. When the availability of oxygen to cultures exposed to air was increased by growing the fungus under nonimmersed liquid conditions, higher levels of Mn were needed to suppress LIP formation compared with the levels needed in shallow stationary cultures. The composition of LIP isozymes was affected by the levels of N and Mn. Addition of veratryl alcohol to cultures exposed to air did not eliminate the suppressive effect of Mn on LIP formation. A deficiency of Mn in N-excess cultures resulted in lower biomass and a lower rate of glucose consumption than in the presence of Mn. In addition, almost no activity of the antioxidant enzyme Mn superoxide dismutase was observed in Mn-deficient, N-excess cultures, but the activity of this enzyme increased as the Mn concentration increased from 3 to 13 mg/liter. No Zn/Cu superoxide dismutase activity was observed in N-excess cultures regardless of the Mn concentration.
Oblivious content distribution system to advantage digital rights management (2017)

This research aims to construct a content distribution protocol that preserves the content provider's security and users' privacy. The protocol can improve Digital Rights Management (DRM) that is required to provide balanced protection for the content provider and the users in a content distribution system. The concept of oblivious transfer (OT) is utilized to fulfill the DRM requirement. The OT concept allows a sender to securely send a set of information to a receiver in such a way that, at the end of the protocol, the receiver cannot learn more than he was supposed to learn, while the sender cannot determine what the receiver has learned. Assuming that tamper-proof device exists, the constructed protocol achieves perfect security for the content provider and privacy for the users. This oblivious content distribution ultimately enables DRM to be a privacy-aware protection system. The system does not merely focus on content providers' rights, but also seriously considers users' privacy protection.
The Synthesis of (3S,5S)-5-Hydroxyhexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylic Acid (1977)

The compound named in the title, a naturally occurring amino acid, has been synthesised from the Diels-Alder adduct of penta-2,4-dienoic acid to phthalazinedione, through successive oxidation with mercuric acetate, hydrogenation with Rh-A1203 catalyst, acid hydrolysis, resolution with quinine, and hydrazinolysis.Each of the monamycins (I) members of a family of cyclohexadepsipeptide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces Jamaicensis, contains a single residue of the amino acid, (3S,5S)-5-hydroxyhexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid (IX), with the trivial name, 5-hydroxypiperazic acid(5HyPip).This acid of the g-configuration and the corresponding piperazic, and chloropiperazic acids of g-configuration, were isolated for the first time from hydrolysates of the monamycins.
Canine leishmaniosis in South America (2009)

Canine leishmaniosis is widespread in South America, where a number of Leishmania species have been isolated or molecularly characterised from dogs. Most cases of canine leishmaniosis are caused by Leishmania infantum (syn. Leishmania chagasi) and Leishmania braziliensis. The only well-established vector of Leishmania parasites to dogs in South America is Lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector of L. infantum, but many other phlebotomine sandfly species might be involved. For quite some time, canine leishmaniosis has been regarded as a rural disease, but nowadays it is well-established in large urbanised areas. Serological investigations reveal that the prevalence of anti-Leishmania antibodies in dogs might reach more than 50%, being as high as 75% in highly endemic foci. Many aspects related to the epidemiology of canine leishmaniosis (e.g., factors increasing the risk disease development) in some South American countries other than Brazil are poorly understood and should be further studied. A better understanding of the epidemiology of canine leishmaniosis in South America would be helpful to design sustainable control and prevention strategies against Leishmania infection in both dogs and humans.
Isolation, structure determination and biological activity of A-16686 factors A′ 1, A′ 2 and A′ 3 glycolipodepsipeptide antibiotics (1992)

When Actinoplanes strain ATCC 33076, the producer of A-16686 A1, A2 and A3 complex, is fermented in a suitable medium three additional factors, designated A' 1, A' 2 and A' 3 are produced. These were isolated and characterized, and were shown to differ from the parent components of the original complex by lacking one mannose unit. Bioconversion of A factors into A' factors was achieved by incubation with the mycelium of Actinoplanes ATCC 33076. Factor A' 2 has better antibacterial activity than A2 against some bacteria.
