Pathogenic Conversion of Live Attenuated Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Vaccines Is Associated with Expression of Truncated Nef (2000)

Rhesus macaques infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) containing either a large nef deletion (SIVmac239Delta(152)nef) or interleukin-2 in place of nef developed high virus loads and progressed to simian AIDS. Viruses recovered from both juvenile and neonatal macaques with disease produced a novel truncated Nef protein, tNef. Viruses recovered from juvenile macaques infected with serially passaged virus expressing tNef exhibited a pathogenic phenotype. These findings demonstrated strong selective pressure to restore expression of a truncated Nef protein, and this reversion was linked to increased pathogenic potential in live attenuated SIV vaccines.
Safeguard against <i>unicode attacks</i> (2006)

A severe potential security problem in utilization of Unicode on the Web is identified, which is resulted from the fact that there are many similar characters in the Universal Character Set (UCS). The foundation of our solution relies on evaluating the similarity of characters in UCS. We develop a solution based on the renowned Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) method to establish such a Unicode Similarity List (UC-SimList).
BRL1, a leucine‐rich repeat receptor‐like protein kinase, is functionally redundant with BRI1 in regulating <i>Arabidopsis</i> brassinosteroid signaling (2004)

BRI1-like receptor kinase (BRL1) was identified as an extragenic suppressor of a weak bri1 allele, bri1-5, in an activation-tagging genetic screen for novel brassinosteroid (BR) signal transduction regulators. BRL1 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK). Sequence alignment revealed that BRL1 is closely related to BRI1, which is involved in BR perception. Overexpression of a BRL1 cDNA, driven by a constitutive CaMV 35S promoter, recapitulates the bri1-5 suppression phenotypes, and partially complements the phenotypes of a null bri1 allele, bri1-4. Analysis of a BR-specific feedback response gene, CPD, indicates that BRL1 functions in BR signaling. BRL1 expression pattern overlaps with, but is distinct from, that of BRI1. In addition, both the expression level and in vitro kinase autophosphorylation activity of BRL1 are significantly lower than those of BRI1. bri1-5 brl1-1 double mutant plants have enhanced developmental defects relative to bri1-5 mutant plants, revealing that BRL1 plays a partially redundant role with BRI1 in controlling Arabidopsis growth and development. These findings enhance our understanding of functional redundancy and add an additional layer of complexity to RLK-mediated BR signaling transduction in Arabidopsis.
Rule-based computational DBMSs (1991)

Tight coupling of business information systems and the streamlining of business organizational structures are trends that demand the availability of real-time corporate information for decision making by Chief Executive Officers. In this paper, the typical Executive Information System model is shown to fail to support real-time reporting because of the batch methods commonly used to extract key business transactions. In addition, a particular database management system (DBMS) architecture is proposed that allows the database administrator to establish rules which force dynamic DBMS update of key real-time corporate values as business transactions are added to the database. Such real-time updates reduce executive information presentation to simple queries of the database.

Identification of an <i>Escherichia coli</i> Operon Required for Formation of the O-Antigen Capsule (2005)

Escherichia coli produces polysaccharide capsules that, based on their mechanisms of synthesis and assembly, have been classified into four groups. The group 4 capsule (G4C) polysaccharide is frequently identical to that of the cognate lipopolysaccharide O side chain and has, therefore, also been termed the O-antigen capsule. The genes involved in the assembly of the group 1, 2, and 3 capsules have been described, but those required for G4C assembly remained obscure. We found that enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) produces G4C, and we identified an operon containing seven genes, ymcD, ymcC, ymcB, ymcA, yccZ, etp, and etk, which are required for formation of the capsule. The encoded proteins appear to constitute a polysaccharide secretion system. The G4C operon is absent from the genomes of enteroaggregative E. coli and uropathogenic E. coli. E. coli K-12 contains the G4C operon but does not express it, because of the presence of IS1 at its promoter region. In contrast, EPEC, enterohemorrhagic E. coli, and Shigella species possess an intact G4C operon.
Still-Birth Definition Act 1992 [16 March 1992]. (1992)

This Act amends a number of United Kingdom Acts relating to the registration of births to lower from 28 weeks to 24 weeks the period of gestation at which an unborn child that is miscarried during pregnancy will be considered "still-born." This change will allow the parents of such a child to register the child's birth, give it a name, receive a stillbirth certificate, and arrange for formal burial or cremation. Previously, they could only carry out these activities if the unborn child had reached 28 weeks' gestation. The Act also allows women experiencing a still birth at 24 weeks' gestation to receive maternity benefits. The Act was approved, in part, to harmonize the laws on registration of births with the Abortion Act 1967, which was amended in 1990 to allow abortions on social grounds to be performed only in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy. This Law applies to England, Scotland, and Wales. The Still-birth (Definition) (Northern Ireland) Order 1992 (Statutory Instrument No. 1310 [Northern Ireland 10] of 1992) makes the same changes in the law applicable to Northern Ireland.
Deeply Integrated GPS/Low-Cost IMU for Low CNR Signal Processing: Concept Description and In-Flight Demonstration (2008)

ABSTRACT: A deeply integrated GPS/low-cost IMU system is developed and applied to re-acquire and track GPS signals with low carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR). The system provides continuous carrier phase tracking without requiring the knowledge of navigation data bits. Flight data with a 90-degree turn are applied to demonstrate re-acquisition and continuous carrier phase tracking of 15 dB-Hz GPS signals.
Prenatal screening for group B streptococcal infection: gaps in the evidence (2004)

The 1990s saw the widespread adoption of antibiotic prophylaxis during labour in many western industrialized countries. By the end of the decade, 30% of women delivering in US maternity units involved in a large multicentre study received intravenous (IV) antibiotics during labour.1 In 24% of women, antibiotics were administered for vaginal carriage of group B streptococci, in order to reduce the risk of early onset neonatal group B streptococcal (GBS) disease. In the remaining 6%, antibiotics were given for risk factors related to preterm delivery, such as preterm prolonged rupture of membranes or preterm onset of labour.1 Although early onset neonatal GBS disease has undoubtedly decreased in association with the uptake of universal screening for maternal GBS colonization, there are concerns that antibiotic prophylaxis might select for more virulent, or antibiotic resistant pathogens.2 This question is as pertinent to the UK and other countries where universal screening for GBS is not yet offered, as it is to centres in the US where GBS screening was introduced a decade ago. Much of the evidence is non-randomized, and is drawn from time trends in the incidence of neonatal infection during a period when, in addition to GBS screening, many other aspects of obstetric and neonatal infection control have changed. What are the strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in the evidence on the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis during labour for GBS infection?

DEVELOPMENT OF A LOAD MAP FOR THERMAL DEGRADATION IN JAPAN FOR ELASTOMERIC ROOFING SHEETS (1990)

A load map for thermal degradation which is available to predict degradation of elastomeric roofing materials has been developed. The thermal degradation load is given by the formula Σexp (-B/T)- t, where B is a mate rial constant, T is absolute temperature (K) and t is time (hrs). The temperature of the roof membrane, ambient air temperature, solar radiation and wind velocity was measured for one year at Yokohama to make clear the relation between the thermal degradation load and the weather elements. Being based on the meteorological data from 1979 to 1988, the thermal degradation loads at 66 points in Japan were calculated, and a load map was drawned by dividing them into several zones. The field tests of two rubber sheets were carried out at Sapporo, Yokohama and Naha from May 1987 to April 1988 to evaluate the usefulness of the map. The degraded values, elongation rate at break of rubber, were compared with the predicted values. And it was concluded that this method by applying the thermal degradation map was useful for prediction of degradation of materials which were mainly affected by solar irradiation heat.
Convergent Online Charging for Context-Aware Mobile Services (2007)

Personalized and context-aware services are of high interest for mobile network operators (MNOs) to keep existing and win new subscribers. Although such services are already available, they are frequently offered by third parties in a rather stand-alone manner. The challenge is to come up with appropriate interfaces that allow (a) third parties to offer their innovative services via an MNO 's network infrastructure and (b) to charge corresponding service users through the MNO's existing Charging and Billing System in a robust and reliable way. This article presents convergent online rating, charging and billing mechanisms for context-aware mobile services offered by third party service providers, e.g., local mobile services. The proposed mechanisms build upon international standards like IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Parlay X and are imple mented as Web Services, such that they are fully applicable in SOA-based environments.
An Experimental Model of Sled System in an Optical Disk Drive (2000)

Comprehensive experiments and analysis were conducted on SONY CD-ROM drives to derive a model of the sled system, with an emphasis on dynamic analysis of sled friction. Our study featured a novel method of friction analysis, in which all the measurements were conducted in transient period and all the calculations were transferred from the time domain to the velocity domain, and a new concept of elastic effect in sled systems, which gave a reasonable explanation of the oscillatory phenomenon in sled movement. The simulation results based on the derived model agreed well with the experimental data and repeated comparisons revealed the model's reliability. This confirmed the model's practicability in developing high-performance sled servos and track jump controllers.
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and prognosis in primary breast cancer. (1994)

We conclude that the PAI-1 level measured in routinely prepared cytosols is an important parameter to predict the metastatic potential in both node-negative and node-positive human primary breast cancer.
P662 Cell envelope damage of<i>N. gonorrhoeae</i>after 15-min beta-lactam exposure enables rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (2019)

<h3>Background</h3> Designing diagnostic tools to perform phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) at the point-of-care (POC) is a vital step in tackling the global threat of antimicrobial resistance. Gonorrhea infections with resistance to the first-line dual therapy have already emerged, highlighting the impending threat of untreatable gonorrhea. A rapid, phenotypic AST could enable evidence-based (instead of empirical) therapy and improve surveillance. The focus of this work is to develop innovative strategies to measure the phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility of <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> clinical isolates after just 15–30 min of exposure with an antibiotic. We focused on the duration of the exposure step because it remains the bottleneck for phenotypic AST with fastidious and slow-growing microorganisms. <h3>Methods</h3> We selected nucleic acid readout because our long-term goals include building fully integrated POC devices that determine the phenotypic response to antibiotic of a specific pathogen rapidly. We have been developing rapid phenotypic ASTs based on quantification of nucleic-acid concentrations in antibiotic-exposed samples. We describe a new phenotypic AST that does not depend on the speed of DNA replication and applies to beta-lactams penicillin, ceftriaxone, and cefixime acting on clinical isolates of <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> very rapidly. <h3>Results</h3> Our assay had 100% categorical agreement with the gold-standard agar dilution AST when <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> isolates were incubated for 15-min with penicillin, and 100% categorical agreement when incubated for 30 min with ceftriaxone and cefixime, and steps can be performed within 35 min measured from contrived urine samples exposed to penicillin. <h3>Conclusion</h3> By designing techniques which allow us to rapidly determine the antibiotic phenotype, evidence-based prescription of antibiotics will become possible. <h3>Disclosure</h3> No significant relationships.
Locating and Sizing Disbonds in Glassfibre-Reinforced Plastic Plates Using Shearography (1991)

Shearography is a double-exposure optical method which reveals defects in components from anomalies in interferometric fringe patterns. In this paper, disbonds of known shapes and sizes are deliberately created at different layers of glassfibre-reinforced plastic (GRP) laminates which are subsequently “vacuum-stressed” during the test. Experimental results show that both the shape and size of disbonds can be deduced easily from the boundaries of the anomalous fringe patterns; the depth of disbonds can also be estimated by counting the number of fringes appearing within these boundaries. The results also correlate well with those predicted from thin plate theory, suggesting that the response of disbonds in GRP plates during vacuum-stressing may be modelled with this theory.
<title>Image quality characteristics of a novel x-ray detector with multiple screen: CCD sensors for real-time diagnostic imaging</title> (1997)

We have presented the principle of an x-ray detector based upon a screen coupled to an array of multiple CCD sensors. We now focus on the characterization of the image quality: resolution (MTF) and noise behavior in the overlap area. Simple low F lenses likely show distortion which means that not all imaged pixels have the same magnification. This may affect resolution. In the overlap area the image is reconstructed by interpolation between two sensors. Interpolation affects the noise properties so care must be taken in order to avoid that the noise characterization of the reconstructed image mosaic becomes spatially non uniform.We present an analysis of the influence of lens distortion and interpolation in the overlap area on the image mosaic. The image processing appears not to diminish the image quality provided the processing parameters are set correctly. We therefore present a robust extraction algorithm. In order to evaluate in real-time the image quality of the proposed detector system, we are building a 2 by 2 lens-CCD sensor system as a lab prototype. The main interest is on MTF and quantum noise properties. The hardware is designed such that also the lens distortion can be compensated. This enables relative cheap optical components with low F and a short building length. We have obtained and will present radiographic exposures of static phantoms.
Geneve: Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (2020)

Network virtualization involves the cooperation of devices with a wide
variety of capabilities such as software and hardware tunnel
endpoints, transit fabrics, and centralized control clusters. As a
result of their role in tying together different elements in the
system, the requirements on tunnels are influenced by all of these
components. Flexibility is therefore the most important aspect of a
tunnel protocol if it is to keep pace with the evolution of the
system. This document describes Geneve, an encapsulation protocol
designed to recognize and accommodate these changing capabilities and
needs.
Surveying Wearable Human Assistive Technology for Life and Safety Critical Applications: Standards, Challenges and Opportunities (2014)

In this survey a new application paradigm life and safety for critical operations and missions using wearable Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) technology is introduced. This paradigm has a vast scope of applications, including disaster management, worker safety in harsh environments such as roadside and building workers, mobile health monitoring, ambient assisted living and many more. It is often the case that during the critical operations and the target conditions, the existing infrastructure is either absent, damaged or overcrowded. In this context, it is envisioned that WBANs will enable the quick deployment of ad-hoc/on-the-fly communication networks to help save many lives and ensuring people's safety. However, to understand the applications more deeply and their specific characteristics and requirements, this survey presents a comprehensive study on the applications scenarios, their context and specific requirements. It explores details of the key enabling standards, existing state-of-the-art research studies, and projects to understand their limitations before realizing aforementioned applications. Application-specific challenges and issues are discussed comprehensively from various perspectives and future research and development directions are highlighted as an inspiration for new innovative solutions. To conclude, this survey opens up a good opportunity for companies and research centers to investigate old but still new problems, in the realm of wearable technologies, which are increasingly evolving and getting more and more attention recently.

A story of ruins: presence and absence in Chinese art and visual culture (2012)

This richly illustrated book examines the changing significance of ruins as vehicles for cultural memory in Chinese art and visual from ancient times to the present. Leading scholar of Chinese art Wu Hung shows how the story of ruins in China is different from but connected to ruin culture in the West. He investigates indigenous Chinese concepts of ruins and their visual manifestations, as well as the complex historical interactions between China and the West since the eighteenth century. Analyzing a broad variety of traditional and contemporary visual materials, including painting, architecture, photography, prints, and cinema, Wu also embraces a wide variety of subjects - from indigenous methods of recording damage and decay in ancient China, to realistic images of architectural ruins in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, to the strong interest in urban ruins in contemporary China, as shown in the many artworks that depict demolished houses and decaying industrial sites. The result is an original interpretation of the development of Chinese art, as well as a unique contribution to global art history.
Genetic sexing system for the preferential elimination of females in Culex quinquefasciatus. (1987)

A genetic sexing strain T(1M;2)1 of Culex quinquefasciatus was synthesized for the preferential elimination of females during the larval stage. Translocations were induced which linked the gene for resistance to malathion to the male-determining factor. Mitotic chromosomes were analyzed to determine the precise nature of the translocation.
New Simple Technique for Hepatic Parenchymal Resection Using a Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator® and Bipolar Cautery Equipped with a Channel for Water Dripping (1999)

We have developed a new technique to resect hepatic parenchyma without inflow occlusion by using the Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) and bipolar cautery with a saline irrigation system. The significance of this method in hepatectomy was analyzed in comparison with historical control of hepatectomy using Pringle's maneuver. An ordinary bipolar cautery was remodeled with an infusion line to bring saline droplets down the inner surface of one arm of the tweezers through an opening about 1.5 cm proximal to its tip. The optimal flow rate of saline was approximately one drop per second. The power of bipolar cautery was adjusted to 50 watts. When the tweezer blades were approximated to 1 or 2 mm, saline droplets were directed to the tip of tweezers and could be immediately evaporated. After sonicating parenchymal cells, the tissue of small branches of Glisson's tree or small tributaries of the hepatic vein were coagulated by bipolar cautery. The coagulated cords were then easily cut by scissors. The impact of this technique on ordinary liver resections was evaluated by analyzing the postoperative clinical course in relation to the hepatic functional reserve necessary for major hepatectomy, duration of hepatectomy, and intraoperative blood loss. Hepatic resection without vascular occlusion using this technique could decrease the morbidity in patients who have less hepatic functional reserve. It could also decrease intraoperative blood loss. This new technique effectively decreased the surgical load of the remnant liver during parenchymal resection by avoiding ischemic stress. Consequently it extends the safety limits of major hepatectomy.
