Studies on Preservation of Constituents in Canned Drinks. Part I. Effects of pH on Stability of Constituents in Canned Tea Drinks. (1992)

茶類飲料の機能性成分のうち,特に重要なカフェインおよびカテキン類に着目し,茶類飲料缶詰の市販品についてその含有量の実態調査を行うとともに,飲料缶詰製造時における有効成分の変化を緑茶を中心に調査した.実態調査の結果,茶類飲料缶詰のカフェイン濃度は,標準的な入れ方の2/3程度であり,カテキン類の濃度は1/2～2/3程度であった.また, pHの低い方が概ねカテキン類の残存率は高かった.試作缶詰と標品を用いた実験より以下の結果を得た.カテキン類はカフェインと比較して熱に不安定であった.加熱殺菌により殆んどのカテキン類は減少したが,二次生成物である+Cが著しく増加した. +Cの増加は一ECの異性化に由来すると推定した.クエン酸添加の弱酸性条件下で加熱処理することにより+Cの生成は抑制され,カテキン類の安定化が計れた.従来,茶類飲料缶詰の製造工程では炭酸水素ナトリウムの添加により, pHをやや高めに調整して抽出することが推奨されているが,カテキン類の保護の観点からは浸出液のpHをむしろ微酸性側に保持することが望ましいと言える.
High-speed fingerprint verification using an optical correlator (1999)

A real-time, VanderLugt-type optical correlator using a single SLM is developed. A field programmable gate array is used to capture and process images obtained from a CCD camera at a rate of 60 video fields/s. During both enrollment and verification, a finger slides over a glass prism and is input to the system via the frustration of the total internal reflection process. An autoenrollment procedure captures the optimal image during each slide. An optimal composite filter is imple- mented. The correlation detection process comprises real-time tracking of the correlation peak while the finger is sliding and a decision process based on projective decision boundaries. Real-life tests yielded a false rejection rate of 1% and a false acceptance rate of 0.2%. © 1999 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. (S0091-3286(99)00901-0)

A texture thesaurus for browsing large aerial photographs (1998)

A texture-based image retrieval system for browsing large-scale aerial photographs is presented. The salient components of this system include texture feature extraction, image segmentation and grouping, learning similarity measure, and a texture thesaurus model for fast search and indexing. The texture features are computed by filtering the image with a bank of Gabor filters. This is followed by a texture gradient computation to segment each large airphoto into homogeneous regions. A hybrid neural network algorithm is used to learn the visual similarity by clustering patterns in the feature space. With learning similarity, the retrieval performance improves significantly. Finally, a texture image thesaurus is created by combining the learning similarity algorithm with a hierarchical vector quantization scheme. This thesaurus facilitates the indexing process while maintaining a good retrieval performance. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness of the overall system in searching over a large collection of airphotos and in selecting a diverse collection of geographic features such as housing developments, parking lots, highways, and airports. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Adaptive multipath routing of connectionless traffic in an ATM network (2002)

We address the problem of routing connectionless traffic in an ATM network and propose an adaptive multipath routing scheme that enhances the routing methods employed at the inter-working units (IWUs). We present a scheme that distributes packets among multiple virtual paths (VPs) according to the utilization of the links of these VPs. The utilization of the VPs is determined by a feedback mechanism. We present simulation studies to show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive multipath routing scheme.
The use of the Blackburn a.c. network analyser in the analysis of power system faults (1956)

The paper describes the use of the Blackburn a.c. network analyser in analytical and analogue methods of investigating faults on 3-phase power systems. In the analytical approach, after defining the faults in matrix form by symmetrical components, the ensuing equations are solved using the Blackburn analyser without the need for further matrix manipulation.In the analogue method, it is shown how the constraints imposed upon the phase voltages and currents can be applied directly to the sequence networks by the connection of symmetrical-component operational matrices at the fault positions. No knowledge of the relationships between the symmetrical-component currents is required, but it is necessary to know the relationships existing between the phase voltages and currents by virtue of the applied faults.The “equivalent series” connections of the sequence networks, derived recently by Kirschbaum in America for application to the conventionaltype network analyser, are shown to be unnecessary when using the Blackburn machine.Finally, systems containing unsymmetrical simultaneous faults are investigated using both methods.
An Interchange in Maize Giving Low Sterility and Chain Configurations (1932)

be influenced by several genetic factors.6'The higher rate in the males might be accounted for by the assumption that the male sex stimulates the instability.Experiments are now in progress which are expected to throw more light on this problem.Summary.-Miniature-3 gamma gene is unstable in somatic cells.The results of experiments in which the flies carrying this gene were reared at 30 = 0.2, 25 = 1 and 20 =L 0.2 degrees centigrade, respectively, are interpreted to indicate that these temperature differences have not produced any effect on the instability of the gene.It has been found that the frequency of gene changes was alike in males and in females in spite of the fact that a female carries approximately twice the number of miniature genes carried by a male.
Variable region genes of anti‐histone autoantibodies from a MRL/Mp‐<i>lpr</i>/<i>lpr</i> mouse (1991)

The variable region nucleotide sequences of seven (five IgM and two IgG) anti-histone monoclonal antibodies from a single MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr mouse have been determined. These antibodies are not clonally related and used diverse V, D and J genes. However, six of the seven antibodies have VH segments encoded by genes from the J558 family, two of these (an IgM and an IgG) share an identical VH gene. The isoelectric points of MRA3 and MRA12, the two IgG antibodies of the panel, range from 6.3 to 7.0 and from 6.0 to 6.3, respectively. The second conplementarity-determining region (CDR) of the VH gene of MRA12 (the most acidic and the most strongly histone-reactive antibody) includes only two positively charged but five negatively charged amino acid residues. This feature is unusual since the equivalent CDR in most VHJ558 genes are not comprised predominantly of acidic residues and suggests that such negatively charged residues are important for antibody binding to histones.
Testing SoC interconnects for signal integrity using boundary scan (2003)

As the technology is shrinking toward 50 nm and the working frequency is going into the multi Gigahertz range, the effect of interconnects on functionality and performance of system-on-chips is becoming dominant. More specifically, distortion (integrity loss) of signals traveling on high-speed interconnects can no longer be ignored. In this paper, we extend the conventional boundary scan architecture to allow testing signal integrity in SoC interconnects. Our extended JTAG architecture collects and outputs the integrity loss information using the enhanced observation cells. The architecture fully complies with the JTAG standard and can be adopted by any SoC that is IEEE 1149.1 compliant. We also propose a simple yet efficient compression scheme that can be employed by an ATE to minimize the scan-in delivery time.
Integrated circuit testing for quality assurance in manufacturing: history, current status, and future trends (1997)

Integrated circuit (IC) testing for quality assurance is approaching 50% of the manufacturing costs for some complex mixed-signal ICs. For many years the market growth and technology advancements in digital ICs were driving the developments in testing. The increasing trend to integrate information acquisition and digital processing on the same chip has spawned increasing attention to the test needs of mixed-signal ICs. The recent advances in wireless communications indicate a trend toward the integration of the RF and baseband mixed signal technologies. In this paper we examine the developments in IC testing from the historic, current status and future view points. In separate sections we address the testing developments for digital, mixed signal and RF ICs. With these reviews as context, we relate new test paradigms that have the potential to fundamentally alter the methods used to test mixed-signal and RF parts.
Online Dating Recommendations: Matching Markets and Learning Preferences (2014)

Recommendation systems for online dating have recently attracted much attention from the research community. In this paper we proposed a two-side matching framework for online dating recommendations and design an LDA model to learn the user preferences from the observed user messaging behavior and user profile features. Experimental results using data from a large online dating website shows that two-sided matching improves significantly the rate of successful matches by as much as 45%. Finally, using simulated matchings we show that the the LDA model can correctly capture user preferences.
The protein fluorescence and structural toolkit: Database and programs for the analysis of protein fluorescence and structural data (2008)

Protein fluorescence is a powerful tool for studying protein structure and dynamics if we have a means to interpret the spectral data in terms of protein structural properties. Our previous research successfully provided this support through the development of individual software modules implementing the algorithms for fluorescence and structural analyses. Now we have integrated the developed software modules, introduced a new program for the assignment of tryptophan residues to spectral-structural classes, and created a web-based toolkit PFAST: protein fluorescence and structural toolkit: http://pfast.phys.uri.edu/. PFAST contains three modules: (1) FCAT is a fluorescence-correlation analysis tool, which decomposes protein fluorescence spectra to reveal the spectral components of individual tryptophan residues or groups of tryptophan residues located close to each other, and assigns spectral components to one of five previously established spectral-structural classes. (2) SCAT is a structural-correlation analysis tool for the calculation of the structural parameters of the environment of tryptophan residues from the atomic structures of the proteins from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), and for the assignment of tryptophan residues to one of five spectral-structural classes. (3) The last module is a PFAST database that contains protein fluorescence and structural data obtained from results of the FCAT and SCAT analyses.
Sleep-disordered breathing: a new risk factor of suspected fatty liver disease in overweight children and adolescents? (2008)

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in childhood obesity is associated with hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia and inflammation and by these mechanisms, SDB could contribute to development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We, therefore, investigated if SDB was an independent predictor of suspected fatty liver disease in a clinical sample of overweight and obese children and adolescents. Retrospective case study of consecutive overweight or obese children and adolescents attending a paediatric obesity clinic. Suggestive fatty liver disease was defined as a serum alanine aminotransferase >40 U·L −1 and/or a hyperechoic liver on abdominal ultrasound. Subjects with suggestive fatty liver disease presented with higher waist circumference, more circulating peripheral leukocytes and a lower % of total sleep time with SaO2 ≥95% than their peers with a normal liver evaluation. Multiple logistic regression (stepwise forward) selected waist circumference (odds ratio = 1.05; 95% confidence interval = 1.00–1.10; p = 0.06) and SaO2nadir (odds ratio = 0.87; 95% confidence interval = 0.76–0.99; p = 0.03) as predictors of suggestive fatty liver disease. This study suggests an association between the severity of SDB and suspected fatty liver disease in a clinical sample of overweight and obese children and adolescents. We strongly recommend more and carefully designed research on the influence of SDB on the development of fatty liver disease and on the effect of treating sleep apnoea on liver function parameters.

Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide Content of Bovine Milk and Calf Blood Assessed by Radioimmunoassay and Bioassay* (1991)

PTH-related peptide (PTH-rP) has recently been discovered to exist in high concentrations in milk. The development of a commercial RIA for PTH-rP has allowed us to extend these studies. We measured the PTH-rP content of milk from 42 Jersey cows from a single farm in various stages of lactation. Colostrum (first milk) contained 56 +/- 12 ng/ml immunoreactive PTH-rP (iPTH-rP). The iPTH-rP contents of milk 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9 months into lactation were 77 +/- 19, 59 +/- 14, 57 +/- 10, 106 +/- 11, 119 +/- 16, and 168 +/- 17 ng/ml, respectively. Plasma was obtained from 7 Jersey calves at birth and at intervals after the ingestion of colostrum. No iPTH-rP was detected in the plasma at birth. Two hours after the ingestion of colostrum, the iPTH-rP content of plasma was 81 +/- 25 pg/ml. The plasma iPTH-rP concentration continued to increase to 384 +/- 84 pg/ml at 7 h and peaked at 444 +/- 84 pg/ml 12 h after birth. Two calves were sampled through the 60th hour after birth, at which time plasma iPTH-rP was 483 +/- 36 pg/ml. The biological activity of the PTH-rP in milk and plasma was assessed by its ability to stimulate cAMP accumulation in ROS 17/2.8 cells. The specificity of this response was determined by the ability of antiserum to PTH-rP to block the activity. The biological activity of the milk samples was between 31-95% of the activity suggested by immunoassay. Biologically active PTH-rP could not be detected in any of the calf plasma samples. These results confirm the presence of biologically active PTH-rP in milk and suggest that the iPTH-rP is capable of being absorbed. However, our results indicate that the biological activity of the PTH-rP is nearly completely absent once in the systemic circulation.

Escherichia coli orf17 Codes for a Nucleoside Triphosphate Pyrophosphohydrolase Member of the MutT Family of Proteins (1996)

The product of the Escherichia coli orf17 gene is a novel nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase with a preference for dATP over the other canonical (deoxy)nucleoside triphosphates, and it catalyzes the hydrolysis of dATP through a nucleophilic attack at the beta-phosphorus to produce dAMP and inorganic pyrophosphate. It has a pH optimum between 8.5 and 9.0, a divalent metal ion requirement with optimal activity at 5 mM Mg2+, a Km of 0.8 mM and a kcat of 5.2 s-1 at 37 degrees C for dATP. dAMP is a weak competitive inhibitor with a Ki of approximately 4 mM, while PPi is a much stronger inhibitor with an apparent Ki of approximately 20 microM. The enzyme contains the highly conserved signature sequence GXVEX2ETX6REVXEEX2I designating the MutT family of proteins. However, unlike the other nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolases with this conserved sequence, the Orf17 protein does not complement the mutT- mutator phenotype, and thus must serve a different biological role in the cell.
APOE Genotype Differentially Modulates Effects of Anti-Aβ, Passive Immunization in APP Transgenic Mice (2017)

Our studies indicate that APOE genotype differentially modulates microglia activation and Aβ plaque load reduction during anti-Aβ immunotherapy. The APOE ε3 allele shows strong protective effect against immunotherapy associated microhemorrhages; while, conversely, the APOE ε2 allele increases risk thereof.
Distance and Plasmon Wavelength Dependent Fluorescence of Molecules Bound to Silica-Coated Gold Nanorods (2014)

Plasmonic nanoparticles can strongly interact with adjacent fluorophores, resulting in plasmon-enhanced fluorescence or fluorescence quenching. This dipolar coupling is dependent upon nanoparticle composition, distance between the fluorophore and the plasmonic surface, the transition dipole orientation, and the degree of spectral overlap between the fluorophore's absorbance/emission and the surface plasmon band of the nanoparticles. In this work, we examine the distance and plasmon wavelength dependent fluorescence of an infrared dye ("IRDye") bound to silica-coated gold nanorods. Nanorods with plasmon band maxima ranging from 530 to 850 nm are synthesized and then coated with mesoporous silica shells 11-26 nm thick. IRDye is covalently attached to the nanoparticle surface via a click reaction. Steady-state fluorescence measurements demonstrate plasmon wavelength and silica shell thickness dependent fluorescence emission. Maximum fluorescence intensity, with approximately 10-fold enhancement, is observed with 17 nm shells when the nanorod plasmon maximum is resonant with IRDye absorption. Time-resolved photoluminescence reveals multiexponential decay and a sharp reduction in fluorescence lifetime with decreasing silica shell thickness and when the plasmon maximum is closer to IRDye absorption/emission. Control experiments are carried out to confirm that the observed changes in fluorescence are due to plasmonic interactions, is simply surface attachment. There is no change in fluorescence intensity or lifetime when IRDye is bound to mesoporous silica nanoparticles. In addition, IRDye loading is limited to maintain a distance between dye molecules on the surface to more than 9 nm, well above the Förster radius. This assures minimal dye-dye interactions on the surface of the nanoparticles.

Randomized Trial of High Loading Dose of Clopidogrel for Reduction of Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction in Patients Undergoing Coronary Intervention (2005)

Pretreatment with a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel 4 to 8 hours before the procedure is safe and, as compared with the conventional 300-mg dose, significantly reduced periprocedural MI in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. These results may influence practice patterns with regard to antiplatelet therapy before percutaneous revascularization.

A scheme of dynamic attributes addition for tuple datasets (2016)

Nowadays in response to the expansion and diversification of business operations, demands for dynamic change of dataset definitions (schema evolution) such as new attribute additions is increasing. However, in order to handle the tuples after the attribute additions efficiently, reorganization of the dataset is necessitated and high operation cost would be accompanied. History-pattern encoding scheme for dynamic multidimensional datasets is based on the notion of multidimensional extendible array. It can provide fast retrieval capability of the datasets while suppressing storage cost minimally. In this paper, using the history-pattern encoding scheme, we will presents the schemes of dynamic attribute addition for dynamically extending tuple datasets, and evaluate them.
