Up‐regulation of CD44 Variant Exon Expression in Endometrial Carcinomas: Analysis of mRNA and Protein Isoforms, and Relation to Clinicopathological Factors (1998)

In order to clarify the relation between expression of individual CD44 variant exons and tumor progression, 34 endometrial carcinomas (endometrioid type) were investigated, as well as 27 samples of normal endometrium, using a combination of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Southern blot hybridization (SBH). Western blotting was also performed for comparison of protein levels with the results of the RT-PCR/SBH methods. Analysis of gross CD44 splicing patterns demonstrated high-level expression of variant isoforms in endometrial carcinomas as compared with normal endometrium. Exon-specific RT-PCR/SBH assays revealed large, abundant transcripts of individual variant exons in particular v3, v4, and v5, in tumors, but these isoforms were also expressed in normal endometria, suggesting a lack of tumor-specificity. No individual CD44 variant transcripts were associated with any of the prognostic factors investigated. Parallel observations showed variant CD44 transcripts to be more readily detectable than protein isoforms in the same samples. These findings indicate that in endometrial carcinomas, expression of individual variant CD44 exons is markedly up-regulated, but this molecule may not be useful as a consistent indicator of tumor progression.
Web technologies in support of virtual manufacturing environments (2004)

The development of distributed architectures and server-side component model for pervasive and safety-critical client-side manufacturing applications represents a very exciting challenge, particularly when the World Wide Web is used as a standard platform. On one hand, the component-based paradigm promises to enable software application development, integration, and deployment through assembly and distribution among decentralized servers across networks. On the other hand, the latest Web-based technologies, such as Web services, XML-based standards, and dynamic Web pages, provide powerful tools to enhance the overall efficiency of monitoring, operation, and control tasks for supporting smooth cross-organizational logistic manufacturing processes. This paper explores some of these recent technologies through the presentation of an experiment conducted with the aim of eventually realizing complex virtual manufacturing environments.

A real-time mobile vehicle license plate detection and recognition for vehicle monitoring and management (2009)

In this paper we present a instant and real-time mobile vehicle license plate recognition system in an open environment. Using a nonfixed video camera installed in the car, the system tries to capture the image of the car in front and to process instant vehicle license plate detection and recognition. Relying on the instant vehicle body recognition, the system can detect and locate the vehicle license plate without the need of background image. Vehicle body detection system utilizes the color characteristics of the barking lights to carry out detection. It first detects the location of the two barking lights in the captured image. Then set license plate detection region using the probability distribution of the license plate between the two lights, thus quickly locate the license plate. This method can eliminate any environmental interference during the license plate detection. From the results of experiment, it is determined that this system can effectively and quickly capture the vehicle image, detect and recognize the license plate whether it is dark, raining or under complicated environments.
Utilization of an active serine 101—-cysteine mutant to demonstrate the proximity of the catalytic serine 101 and histidine 237 residues in thioesterase II. (1992)

Thioesterase II is a 29-kDa monomer which, in certain specialized tissues, acts as a chain terminator in fatty acid synthesis by hydrolyzing medium-chain fatty acids from the fatty acid synthase. As with serine proteases, hydrolysis appears to involve acylation of the active site serine residue (Ser-101) assisted by a histidine, tentatively identified as His-237. To determine whether in the folded protein His-237 is close enough to accept a proton from the Ser-101 hydroxyl, we have made use of a Ser101Cys mutant which retains up to 90% of catalytic activity. Unlike the wild-type enzyme, the S101C thioesterase is inhibited with stoichiometric amounts of the bifunctional alkylating reagent 1,3-dibromopropanone. To facilitate identification of the alkylated residue(s), the keto group introduced into the dibromopropanone-modified S101C mutant was radiolabeled by reduction with sodium [3H] borohydride. The protein was then digested and the radiolabeled peptides analyzed by amino acid sequencing and mass spectrometry. The experimental data unambiguously showed that dibromopropanone cross-linked the active site Cys-101 with His-237, demonstrating that these residues are positioned within 5 A of each other. These data strongly support the hypothesis that in the wild-type thioesterase His-237 accepts a proton from Ser-101, thus increasing its nucleophilic character and improving the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. The possibility that exchange of cysteine and serine active site residues has occurred in the evolution of thioesterases is discussed.
Adsorption and Displacement of Melamine at the Ag/Electrolyte Interface Probed by Surface-Enhanced Raman Microprobe Spectroscopy (1996)

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is evaluated as a quantitative analytical tool for low concentrations of melamine and melamine derivatives in solution. Substantial variations in absolute and relative intensities of SERS bands were encountered using silver sols, which cannot be controlled. Alternatively, it was shown that SERS using a roughened silver electrode, while conditioning the applied potential, permits the acquisition of Raman spectra from electrode spots down to 1 μm in size, and the results of multiple measurements using a hard cathodic cleaning step in between each adsorption experiment gave a relative standard deviation of 15%. The high enhancement factor of the electrode micro-Raman scattering intensity creates a new trace analytical technique for obtaining high-resolution spectra of melamine from dilute aqueous solution (detection limit ∼ 10-7 mol L-1) in the opto-electrochemical cell. As an alternative for the hard cathodic cleaning step, we demonstrated that the cationic surfactant molecule cetylpyridinium chloride is able to remove preadsorbed melamine within a few seconds. The surfactant molecules can subsequently be removed from the surface by switching to a negative applied potential. This procedure results in a relative standard deviation of 10%. The effects of electrode potential on the observed SERS spectra are consistent with current ‘SERS surface selection rules'. The electrode potential and the surface concentration of the chloride counterions strongly affect the intensity of the out-of-plane modes in the adsorbed state. However, additional experiments using various excitation lines showed that an alternative theory, surface complex formation combined with charge transfer resonance Raman processes with Herzberg−Teller contributions, plays an important role.
High brightness slab waveguide carbon monoxide laser (1994)

Near diffraction limited output from a slab waveguide carbon monoxide gain medium using a hybrid confocal unstable resonator is described. A device producing a cw output of 80 W in a beam with M2=1.5 has been demonstrated operating with 12% efficiency at −30 °C.
CASHEIRS: Cloud assisted scalable hierarchical encrypted based image retrieval system (2017)

Image retrieval has become an important function in many emerging computer vision applications e.g. online shopping via images, medical health care systems. More and more images are being generated and stored in public clouds. However, recent photo leakage events raise concerns about privacy leaks for images stored in public clouds. In this paper, we present an efficient scalable hierarchical image retrieval system (CASHEIRS) which provides privacy-aware image retrieval feature. CASHEIRS employs transformed Convolutional Neural Network features to improve image retrieval accuracy and an encrypted hierarchical index tree to speed up the query process. Extensive evaluations using Caltech256 and INRIA Holiday datasets show that CASHEIRS is more effective than three existing schemes. We also demonstrate its practicality on a mobile device.
Investigating long noncoding RNAs using animal models (2016)

The number of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has grown rapidly; however, our understanding of their function remains limited. Although cultured cells have facilitated investigations of lncRNA function at the molecular level, the use of animal models provides a rich context in which to investigate the phenotypic impact of these molecules. Promising initial studies using animal models demonstrated that lncRNAs influence a diverse number of phenotypes, ranging from subtle dysmorphia to viability. Here, we highlight the diversity of animal models and their unique advantages, discuss the use of animal models to profile lncRNA expression, evaluate experimental strategies to manipulate lncRNA function in vivo, and review the phenotypes attributable to lncRNAs. Despite a limited number of studies leveraging animal models, lncRNAs are already recognized as a notable class of molecules with important implications for health and disease.
Application of Adaptive Filtering and Linear Regression for Determining T-Wave Limits in Neonatal ECG (2007)

Two algorithms have been identified, namely the adaptive filtering method and tangent method, which can be used to automatically detect the end of T-wave in neonatal ECG for determining the QT and QTc duration. By modifying the initial conditions and parameters in the algorithms, both algorithms have been successfully applied in real time to process real neonatal ECGs with various noise levels. The accuracy and the precision of both algorithms were examined by comparing the result with manual readings done by a cardiologist. The algorithms can be used to analyze neonatal ECG for long QT syndrome in real time and automatically to aid early diagnosis, subjected to further test and verification.

Cloning and genetic and sequence analyses of the bacteriocin 21 determinant encoded on the Enterococcus faecalis pheromone-responsive conjugative plasmid pPD1 (1997)

The pheromone-responsive conjugative plasmid pPD1 (59 kb) of Enterococcus faecalis encodes the bacteriocin 21 (bac21) determinant. Cloning, transposon insertion mutagenesis and sequence analysis of the bac21 determinant showed that an 8.5-kb fragment lying between kb 27.1 and 35.6 of the pPD1 map is required for complete expression of the bacteriocin. The 8.5-kb fragment contained nine open reading frames (ORFs), bacA to bac1, which were oriented in the same (upstream-to-downstream) direction. Transposon insertions into the bacA to bacE ORFs, which are located in the proximal half of bac21, resulted in defective bacteriocin expression. Insertions into the bacF to bac1 ORFs, which are located in the distal half of bac21, resulted in reduced bacteriocin expression. Deletion mutant analysis of the cloned 8.5-kb fragment revealed that the deletion of segments between kb 31.6 and 35.6 of the pPD1 map, which contained the distal region of the determinant encoding bacF to bac1, resulted in reduced bacteriocin expression. The smallest fragment (4.5 kb) retaining some degree of bacteriocin expression contained the bacA to bacE sequences located in the proximal half of the determinant. The cloned fragment encoding the 4.5-kb proximal region and a Tn916 insertion mutant into pPD1 bacB trans-complemented intracellularly to give complete expression of the bacteriocin. bacA encoded a 105-residue sequence with a molecular mass of 11.1 kDa. The deduced BacA protein showed 100% homology to the broad-spectrum antibiotic peptide AS-48, which is encoded on the E. faecalis conjugative plasmid pMB2 (58 kb). bacH encoded a 195-residue sequence with a molecular mass of 21.9 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence showed significant homology to the C-terminal region of HlyB (31.1% identical residues), a protein located in the Escherichia coli alpha-hemolysin operon that is a representative bacterial ATP-binding cassette export protein.
An Off-Line Signature Recognition Using a Fuzzy Net. (1994)

This paper presents a method of off-line signature recognition using feature strokes and a fuzzy net. For getting feature strokes a pre-processing of signature data is studied. The pre-processing consists of a thinning method and a method of extracting feature strokes from an original signature and corresponding strokes from new signatures. The structure of fuzzy net is a simple perceptron and each unit in the input layer has a fuzzy membership function. From the connection weights of the trained network, it is easy to know which features of input data are important for signature recognition, i.e. the personal characteristics of the signatures are known from the fuzzy net. An experiment is done to show the feasibility of the new method.
Pharmacophore-Based Design of Sphingosine 1-phosphate-3 Receptor Antagonists That Include a 3,4-Dialkoxybenzophenone Scaffold (2007)

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors. Among the five identified subtypes S1P1-5, the S1P3 receptor expressed on vascular endothelial cells has been shown to play an important role in cell proliferation, migration, and inflammation. A pharmacophore-based database search was used to identify a potent scaffold for an S1P3 receptor antagonist by common feature-based alignment and further validated using the Güner-Henry (GH) scoring method. Assumed excluded volumes were merged into this model to evaluate the steric effect with the S1P3 receptor. Three commercially available compounds were identified as S1P3 receptor antagonists, with IC50 values <5 microM. The synthesis of further derivatives revealed that the 3,4-dialkoxybenzophenone scaffold is a potent component of an S1P3 receptor antagonist. Our results indicate that pharmacophore-based design of S1P3 receptor antagonists can be used to expand the possibility of structural modification through scaffold-hopping based on a database search.
Responding to trust breaches: The domain specificity of trust and the role of affect (2011)

Abstract Trust researchers have called for additional work examining trust breaches and trust erosion, as well as an explicit inclusion of affect in trust models. This paper directly responds to these calls. Based on a critical analysis and extension of Mayer, Davis and Schoorman's (1995) integrative trust model, we examine the relative amount of positive affect associated with each dimension of trustworthiness (i.e., ability, integrity and benevolence). We further explore how breaches of different trustworthiness expectations for a particular joint activity influence trust erosion of the overall relationship. Finally, we identify specific negative emotions that mediate trust breaches and trust erosion.
Nucleosides and Nucleotides. 143. Synthesis of 5-Amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide (AICA) Deoxyribosides from Deoxyinosines and Their Conversion into 3-Deazapurine Derivatives. (1996)

An efficient and large scale chamical synthesis of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICA) 2'-deoxyriboside (5a) and its 3'-deoxyriboside 5b is described. Treatment of 3', 5'-di-O-acetyl-N1-triphenylmethyl-2'-deoxyinosine (3a) with 5 N NaOH in EtOH, followed by anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid gave 5a in 59% yield from 2'-deoxyinosine (1a). AICA 3'-deoxyriboside (5b) was also obtained in a similar manner as for 5a in 73% yield from 3'-deoxyinosine (1b). Conversion of these AICA derivatives (5a, b) into 3-deazapurine derivatives (9a, b, 15a, b, 20a, b) is also described.
The sink tree paradigm: connectionless traffic support on ATM LANs (2002)

ATM is a connection-oriented technology in which all communication is based on virtual connections established prior to the transfer of data. Initially, it is expected that the bulk of traffic carried by the ATM network will be data traffic. Hence, a major issue regarding ATM is the support for connectionless (datagram) traffic. A scheme for the efficient support for connectionless traffic in ATM LANs based on trees of virtual connections is proposed. In this scheme a sink tree is built for every switch in the LAN. Each tree provides an efficient means of routing connectionless traffic from any switch in the network to the sink switch (root) of the tree. The sink tree solution may also be used to broadcast connectionless messages in the reverse direction. The trees can easily be updated to adapt to topological changes or congestion in the network. A protocol for refreshing the tree structure using the ATM switch routing tables is described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Identification of two iron-repressed periplasmic proteins in Haemophilus influenzae (1992)

Protein expression by Haemophilus influenzae under iron-limiting growth conditions was examined. The five type b strains and four nontypeable strains studied all expressed a new protein of about 40 kDa when deprived of iron during growth. Most strains also expressed a protein of about 31 kDa under the same growth conditions. Both the 40- and 31-kDa proteins were not expressed by cells grown in iron-replete medium. The 40- and 31-kDa proteins were not expressed in iron-deficient medium to which an excess of ferric nitrate had been added, and therefore it was concluded that their expression was iron regulated. These iron-repressed proteins were localized to the periplasmic space. The amino-terminal sequences of both proteins were determined. The N-terminal sequence of the 40-kDa protein had 81% similarity to the N terminus of Fbp, the major iron-binding protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. The 31-kDa protein sequence showed no homology with any known protein sequence. As no plasmids were found in the strains, it was concluded that these proteins were chromosomally encoded.
Silica-Stabilized Gold Island Films for Transmission Localized Surface Plasmon Sensing (2006)

Ultrathin gold films prepared by evaporation of sub-percolation layers (typically up to 10 nm nominal thickness) onto transparent substrates form arrays of well-defined metal islands. Such films display a characteristic surface plasmon (SP) absorption band, conveniently measured by transmission spectroscopy. The SP band intensity and position are sensitive to the film morphology (island shape and inter-island separation) and the effective dielectric constant of the surrounding medium. The latter has been exploited for chemical and biological sensing in the transmission localized surface plasmon resonance (T-LSPR) mode. A major concern in the development of T-LSPR sensors based on Au island films is instability, manifested as change in the SP absorbance following immersion in organic solvents and aqueous solutions. The latter may present a problem in the use of Au island-based transducers for biological sensing, usually carried out in aqueous media. Here, we describe a facile method for stabilizing Au island films while maintaining a high sensitivity of the SP absorbance to analyte binding. Stabilization is achieved by coating the Au islands with an ultrathin silica layer, ca. 1.5 nm thick, deposited by a sol-gel procedure on an intermediate mercaptosilane monolayer. The silica coating is prepared using a modified literature procedure, where a change in the reaction conditions from room temperature to 90 degrees C shortened the deposition time from days to hours. The system was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, ellipsometry, XPS, HRSEM, AFM, and cyclic voltammetry. The ultrathin silica coating stabilizes the optical properties of the Au island films toward immersion in water, phosphate buffer saline (PBS), and various organic solvents, thus providing proper conditions where the optical response is sensitive only to changes in the effective dielectric constant of the immediate environment. The silica layer is thin enough to afford high T-LSPR sensitivity, while the hydroxyl groups on its surface enable chemical modification for binding of receptor molecules. The use of silica-encapsulated Au island films as a stable and effective platform for T-LSPR sensing is demonstrated.
Cognitive-behavior modification treatment of an aggressive 11-year-old boy (1981)

This study dealt with an aggressive 11-year-old boy whose angry hitting, fighting, and swearing frustrated the efforts of child care workers at a residential treatment center. By using a cognitive—behavior modification treatment package that included self-monitoring of aggressive behavior and verbal self-instruction to guide more appropriate behavior, the author succeeded in reducing the observed frequencies of all three target behaviors.
