An OFDM receiver employing turbo equalization for multipath environments with delay spread greater than the guard interval (2004)

This paper proposes a new OFDM turbo equalizer for mobile radio communications in the multipath environments where the delay difference is greater than the guard interval. In the OFDM transmission, the excess delay causes both inter-symbol interference (ISI) to the adjacent OFDM symbols and inter-carrier interference (ICI) within the same symbol. The proposed equalizer consists of the decision feedback equalizer for ISI cancellation and the low-complexity turbo equalizer for ICI cancellation. The latter consists of an ICI canceller, the optimal detection filter and a MAP detector. The iterative joint processing of the equalization and the decoding can effectively reduce ICI. Moreover, an ISI combiner is introduced so as to exploit the signal energy leaked to the next symbol. Computer simulations for the 5 GHz wireless LAN outdoor applications show that the proposed OFDM equalizer can effectively cancel both ISI and ICI, and that its performance is much better than that of the conventional coherent detector.
A Rapid and Facile Soft Contact Lamination Method: Evaluation of Polymer Semiconductors for Stretchable Transistors (2014)

Organic stretchable electronics have attracted extensive scientific and industrial interest because they can be stretched, twisted, or compressed, enabling the next-generation of organic electronics for human/machine interfaces. These electronic devices have already been described for applications such as field-effect transistors, photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and sensors. High-performance stretchable electronics, however, currently still involve complicated processing steps to integrate the substrates, semiconductors, and electrodes for effective performance. Herein, we describe a facile method to efficiently identify suitable semiconducting polymers for organic stretchable transistors using soft contact lamination. In our method, the various polymers investigated are first transferred on an elastomeric poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) slab and subsequently stretched (up to 100%) along with the PDMS. The polymer/PDMS matrix is then laminated on source/drain electrode-deposited Si substrates equipped with a PDMS dielectric layer. Using this device configuration, the polymer semiconductors can be repeatedly interrogated with laminate/delaminate cycles under different amounts of tensile strain. From our obtained electrical characteristics, e.g., mobility, drain current, and on/off ratio, the strain limitation of semiconductors can be derived. With a facile soft contact lamination testing approach, we can thus rapidly identify potential candidates of semiconducting polymers for stretchable electronics.
Cell Wall Metabolism in Ripening Fruit (VI. Effect of the Antisense Polygalacturonase Gene on Cell Wall Changes Accompanying Ripening in Transgenic Tomatoes) (1993)

Cell walls of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit, prepared so as to minimize residual hydrolytic activity and autolysis, exhibit increasing solubilization of pectins as ripening proceeds, and this process is not evident in fruit from transgenic plants with the antisense gene for polygalacturonase (PG). A comparison of activities of a number of possible cell wall hydrolases indicated that antisense fruit differ from control fruit specifically in their low PG activity. The composition of cell wall fractions of mature green fruit from transgenic and control (wild-type) plants were indistinguishable except for trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N[prime],N[prime]-tetraacetic acid (CDTA)-soluble pectins of transgenic fruit, which had elevated levels of arabinose and galactose. Neutral polysaccharides and polyuronides increased in the water-soluble fraction of wild-type fruit during ripening, and this was matched by a decline in Na2CO3-soluble pectins, equal in magnitude and timing. This, together with compositional analysis showing increasing galactose, arabinose, and rhamnose in the water-soluble fraction, mirrored by a decline of these same residues in the Na2CO3-soluble pectins, suggests that the polyuronides and neutral polysaccharides solubilized by PG come from the Na2CO3-soluble fraction of the tomato cell wall. In addition to the loss of galactose from the cell wall as a result of PG activity, both antisense and control fruit exhibit an independent decline in galactose in both the CDTA-soluble and Na2CO3-soluble fractions, which may play a role in fruit softening.
Union Drafts New University Funding Bill (1997)

Brendan Nelson's new Higher Education Support Bill was being debated by the Australian Senate as the Advocate went to press. The Bill simultaneously proposes a deregulated and competitive funding system and a highly prescriptive raft of regulatory requirements which would apply to all higher education providers receiving any form of Commonwealth funding. Three problems arise.
A Field, Tracking and Video Editor tool for a Football Resource Planner (2013)

The current Football Resource Planning (FRP) systems integrate both internal and external information management across the entire professional football organization, including features to gather automated information from the teams, not only on the competition part but also on the preparation. In this paper, we present three of those tools from the Footdata’s web/cloud FRP system: Field Editor (FE), Tracking Editor (TE) and Video Editor (VE). The FE provides the coach with a platform where he can represent the tactical movements for his team within an animated context. On the other hand, the TE allows the interaction with the Footdata tracking system. Finally, the VE tool offers the possibility for a coach to watch, cut and analyze football videos.
<title>Characterization of aluminum nitride thin films grown by plasma source molecular-beam epitaxy</title> (1995)

Aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films are grown by a newly developed plasma source molecular beam epitaxy (PSMBE) system. The films were grown on Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> (1102), Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> (0001), Si (111), and Si (100) substrates. Structural characterization of the films were performed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The XRD pattern indicates highly textured films. Cross-sectional HREM reveals epitaxy on AlN on most substrates. The Si (111) and Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> (0001) plane is lattice matched to the c-plane growth of AlN and the Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> (1102) plane is lattice matched to the a-plane growth of AlN. The optical and thermal properties of these films and studied by ellipsometry and thermal wave analysis. The quality of the films is evidenced by the low optical absorption, bulk-like optical index, and bulk-like thermal conductivity.
New Differential Phase Shift Networks Combining All-Pass and Band-Pass Elements (2005)

Networks capable of producing differential phase shifts of any value up to 180/spl deg/ with bandwidths as large as 3:1 have been investigated by using computer optimization techniques. A new class of networks that combine band-pass (lines and stubs in ladder form) and all-pass (C-sections) has evolved with performance comparable to that of the cascaded C-section networks described by Schiffman and others. In most cases the new networks are more easily realized, more easily adjusted or tuned, and require less reference-line length.
Detection of Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Activation in Oxidatively Stressed Cells and Tissues Using Biotinylated NAD Substrate (2002)

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a nuclear enzyme activated by DNA damage. Activated PARP cleaves NAD(+) into nicotinamide and (ADP-ribose) and polymerizes the latter on nuclear acceptor proteins. Over-activation of PARP by reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates represents a pathogenetic factor in various forms of inflammation, shock, and reperfusion injury. Using a novel commercially available substrate, 6-biotin-17-nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (bio-NAD(+)), we have developed three applications, enzyme cytochemistry, enzyme histochemistry, and cell ELISA, to detect the activation of PARP in oxidatively stressed cells and tissues. With the novel assay we were able to detect basal and hydrogen peroxide-induced PARP activity in J774 macrophages. We also observed that mitotic cells display remarkably elevated PARP activity. Hydrogen peroxide-induced PARP activation could also be detected in wild-type peritoneal macrophages but not in macrophages from PARP-deficient mice. Application of hydrogen peroxide to the skin of mice also induced bio-NAD(+) incorporation in the keratinocyte nuclei. Hydrogen peroxide-induced PARP activation and its inhibition by pharmacological PARP inhibitors could be detected in J774 cells with the ELISA assay that showed good correlation with the traditional [(3)H]-NAD incorporation method. The bio-NAD(+) assays represent sensitive, specific, and non-radioactive alternatives for detection of PARP activation.
Blockade of interleukin‐6 receptor suppresses reactive astrogliosis and ameliorates functional recovery in experimental spinal cord injury (2004)

Endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) have recently been shown to differentiate exclusively into astrocytes, the cells that are involved in glial scar formation after spinal cord injury (SCI). The microenvironment of the spinal cord, especially the inflammatory cytokines that dramatically increase in the acute phase at the injury site, is considered to be an important cause of inhibitory mechanism of neuronal differentiation following SCI. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has been demonstrated to induce NSPCs to undergo astrocytic differentiation selectively through the JAK/STAT pathway in vitro, has also been demonstrated to play a critical role as a proinflammatory cytokine and to be associated with secondary tissue damage in SCI. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of rat anti-mouse IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody (MR16-1) in the treatment of acute SCI in mice. Immediately after contusive SCI with a modified NYU impactor, mice were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of MR16-1 (100 microg/g body weight), the lesions were assessed histologically, and the functional recovery was evaluated. MR16-1 not only suppressed the astrocytic diffentiation-promoting effect of IL-6 signaling in vitro but inhibited the development of astrogliosis after SCI in vivo. MR16-1 also decreased the number of invading inflammatory cells and the severity of connective tissue scar formation. In addition, we observed significant functional recovery in the mice treated with MR16-1 compared with control mice. These findings suggest that neutralization of IL-6 signaling in the acute phase of SCI represents an attractive option for the treatment of SCI.
A dual-band enhanced harmonic rejection filter for modulators in GSM and DCS transmitters (2004)

In this paper, a dual-band enhanced harmonic rejection filter along with a quadrature modulator is designed and fabricated in 0.25/spl mu/m CMOS process. This filter is simply a Sallen-Key low pass filter with transmission zeros to provide additional harmonic rejection. The measurement results that the filter significantly suppresses the unwanted harmonics generated by the modulator by more than 30 dB and 40 dB in GSM mode and DCS mode, respectively. This IC operates at 2.7V with current consumption of 4.8mA and 5.7 mA in GSM and DCS mode, respectively.
A candidate molecular signature associated with tamoxifen failure in primary breast cancer (2008)

We identified molecular markers including a BCL2/FOS signature associated with tamoxifen failure; these markers may have clinical potential in the management of ER-positive breast cancer.
Potential Targets for Pancreatic Cancer Immunotherapeutics (2011)

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer death with an overall 5-year survival of less than 5%. As there is ample evidence that pancreatic adenocarcinomas elicit antitumor immune responses, identification of pancreatic cancer-associated antigens has spurred the development of vaccination-based strategies for treatment. While promising results have been observed in animal tumor models, most clinical studies have found only limited success. As most trials were performed in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, the contribution of immune suppressor mechanisms should be taken into account. In this article, we detail recent work in tumor antigen vaccination and the recently identified mechanisms of immune suppression in pancreatic cancer. We offer our perspective on how to increase the clinical efficacy of vaccines for pancreatic cancer.
Characterization of primary amino acid sequence of human complement control protein factor I from an analysis of cDNA clones (1987)

A cDNA clone of the mRNA coding for the human complement system control protein Factor I has been isolated. The predicted amino acid sequence obtained from the DNA sequence demonstrates a protein consisting of a heavy chain (Mr 35,400) linked to a light chain (Mr 27,600), both of which contain three sites for N-linked glycosylation. The light chain has clear homology with other serine proteinases, most notably in the region of the catalytically active and structurally important amino acids and shares some of the features characteristic of the plasminogen activators. The heavy chain has a clear 'mosaic' nature typical of the plasma serine proteinases; in particular it contains class A and class B LDL (low-density lipoprotein) receptor repeats with conserved cysteine residues similar to those found in other complement proteins.
Ionizing Radiation Activates Late Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Promoters via the p38 Pathway in Tumors Treated with Oncolytic Viruses (2005)

Abstract Ionizing radiation potentiates the oncolytic activity of attenuated herpes simplex viruses in tumors exposed to irradiation at specific time intervals by inducing higher virus yields. Cell culture studies have shown that an attenuated virus lacking the viral γ134.5 genes underproduces late proteins whose synthesis depends on sustained synthesis of viral DNA. Here we report that ionizing radiation enhances gene expression from late viral promoters in transduced cells in the absence of other viral gene products. Consistent with this result, we show that in tumors infected with the attenuated virus, ionizing radiation increases 13.6-fold above baseline the gene expression from a late viral promoter as early as 2 hours after virus infection, an interval too short to account for viral DNA synthesis. The radiation-dependent up-regulation of late viral genes is mediated by the p38 pathway, inasmuch as the enhancement is abolished by p38 inhibitors or a p38 dominant-negative construct. The p38 pathway is not essential for wild-type virus gene expression. The results suggest that ionizing radiation up-regulates late promoters active in the course of viral DNA synthesis and provide a rationale for use of radiation to up-regulate cytotoxic genes introduced into tumor cells by viral vectors for cytoreductive therapy.
Symbol synchronization using signal samples and interpolation (1993)

A method for symbol synchronization using two unsynchronized signal samples per symbol is presented. Signal values between the sample points are calculated by interpolation and then processed digitally to find a suitable strobe point. The interpolated value at the strobe point is used for data detection or input to an equalizer. Simulations show that low variance timing estimates can be made for pulses with raised-cosine spectra degraded by quadratic delay distortion.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Aneuploidy and Overexpression of Ki67 and p53 as Markers for Neoplastic Progression in Barrett's Esophagus: A Case–Control Study (2009)

p53 overexpression and, to a lesser extent, Ki67 overexpression could predict neoplastic progression in BE irrespective of the histological result. These markers may be useful for identifying patients at an increased risk of developing EAC, either alone or used as a panel.
<title>Improved dead reckoning using caster wheel sensing on a differentially steered three-wheeled autonomous vehicle</title> (2001)

A differentially steered three-wheeled vehicle has proven to be an effective platform for outdoor navigation. Many applications for this vehicle configuration, including planetary exploration and landmine/UXO location, require accurate localization. In spite of known problems, odometry, also called dead reckoning, remains one of the least expensive and most popular methods for localization. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the benefits of instrumenting the rear caster wheel to supplement the drive wheel encoders in odometry. A linear observer is used to fuse the data between the drive wheel encoders and the caster data. This method can also be extended using the standard form of the Kalman filter to allow for noise. Improvements in position estimation in the face of common problems such as slip and dimensional errors are quantified.
Unsteady aerodynamics of a flapped airfoil in subsonic flow by indicial concepts (1996)

An approach based on indicial concepts is described to model the unsteady airloads on a thin airfoil in subsonic compressible flow caused by the arbitrary motion of a trailing-edge flap. Exact indicial aerodynamic responses at small values of time as a result of flap deflection and angular deflection rate about the flap hinge are obtained from linear unsteady subsonic theory in conjunction with the aerodynamic reverse flow theorems. Using the known exact initial (piston theory) and asymptotic values of the airloads, along with an assumed analytic form for the indicial functions, these exact results are used to help obtain complete approximations for the respective indicial responses. The airloads from arbitrary flap motion in subsonic flow are subsequently obtained in state - space form. Validation of the method is conducted with experimental data for time-dependent flap motions.
<title>Chromium-based attenuated embedded phase-shift photomask blanks for use in 1X lithography</title> (1995)

Process latitude, especially depth of focus (DOF), is an ever-growing concern to semiconductor and thin film head (TFH) manufacturers. It is well known that as lithographers pursue smaller linewidth resolution through the use of larger numerical apertures (NA) and smaller exposure wavelengths, DOF continues to shrink. TFH manufacturers are faced with the additional burdens of thick resist and high aspect ratios. One successful method of regaining a portion of the lost DOF in i-line reduction lithography is the use of phase shift masks. There are a variety of phase shift mask types that typically involve a conventional chrome mask with an added layer of shifter material adjacent to specific geometries. Another type, without added shifter material, requires a second etch into the quartz substrate. Compared to conventional masks, these mask types require additional patterning and processing steps. Because of their high cost and technical limitations, phase shift masks are frequently used only for contact layers in i-line processes. Attenuated embedded phase shift (AEPS) masks have the potential to improve depth of focus for 1X g/h-line systems. Because the shifter material is incorporated in the substrate, these masks can be patterned and processed similar to conventional chrome masks. Consequently, their cost is much lower than other phase shift mask types and their applications are not limited by dense geometries.
Combined Typhoid Fever and Hepatitis A Vaccine: Comparison of Immunogenicity and Safety to Concomitant Monovalent Vaccine over 3 Years (2006)

The combined HA/Vi vaccine, Viatim, had equivalent tolerability and safety and was as rapidly immunogenic as its component monovalent vaccines when given concurrently. A booster dose after 3 years significantly increased antibody levels with some evidence of relative hyporesponsiveness of the typhoid response.
Lymphoid Blast Crises of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Represent Stages in the Development of B-Cell Precursors (1983)

The origin and stage of differentiation of the blast-crisis cells in chronic myelogenous leukemia have remained uncertain. Because immunoglobulin heavy-chain and light-chain genes must undergo a DNA rearrangement during B-cell development but rarely do so in human non-B-cell lineages, we examined these genes in 18 episodes of chronic myelogenous leukemia. In eight of nine episodes of lymphoid blast crisis, heavy-chain genes were rearranged, and in three, rearrangements in light-chain genes were also present. In contrast, cells from chronic myeloid, myeloid blast, and erythroid-like phases retained germ-like immunoglobulin genes. The observed phenotypic markers and gene configurations revealed that most lymphoid blast crises represent stages of development of B-cell precursors. In two separate episodes of lymphoid crisis, cells from a single patient possessed identical heavy-chain but different light-chain-gene configurations. Thus, the precursor cells that monoclonally expand to produce a lymphoid crisis are capable of immunoglobulin-gene rearrangements and represent discrete steps in early B-cell maturation.
Biological significance of Ss (serum soluble) HLA-class I antigens in bone marrow transplantation. (1985)

Ss (serum soluble) HLA-class I antigens were investigated in 10 cases of bone marrow transplantation and the relationships among Ss HLA antigens, lymphocyte counts, GvHD and the clinical course were compared. Cs (cell surface) HLA antigens were typed by the NIH standard microcytotoxicity test. Measurement of Ss HLA antigens was performed by both the lymphocytotoxicity inhibition test and solid phase RIA. A good correlation was found between the cytotoxicity inhibition test and solid phase RIA. No correlation was observed between lymphocyte counts and changes in the Ss HLA antigens in the presence of GvHD. In cases with GvHD, Ss HLA antigens were found to correlate with the GvHD. Ss HLA antigens also correlated with levels of lymphocyte counts in cases without GvHD. Ss HLA antigens are an important marker of biological significance in GvHD following bone marrow transplantation.

The Structure of the Coliphage HK022 Nun Protein-λ-phage boxB RNA Complex (2001)

Nun protein from coliphage HK022 binds to phage boxB RNA and functions, in contrast to phage lambda N protein, as a transcriptional terminator. The basic Nun-(10-44) peptide contains the boxB RNA binding arginine rich motif, ARM. The peptide binds boxB RNA and competes with the phage lambda ARM peptide N-(1-36) as indicated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy titrations. In two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy experiments boxB RNA in complex with Nun-(20-44) exhibits the same pattern of resonances as it does in complex with N peptides containing the ARM, and we could show that Nun-(20-44) forms a bent alpha-helix upon binding to the boxB RNA. The structure of the boxB RNA-bound Nun-(20-44) was determined on the basis of 191 intra- and 30 intermolecular distance restraints. Ser-24 is anchored to the lower RNA stem, and stacking of Tyr-39 and A7 is clearly experimentally indicated. Arg-28 shows numerous contacts to the RNA stem. Leu-22, Ile-30, Trp-33, Ile-37, and Leu-41 form a hydrophobic surface, which could be a recognition site for additional host factors such as NusG. Such a hydrophobic surface area is not present in N-(1-36) bound to boxB RNA.
