Worldwide Dissemination of the NDM-Type Carbapenemases in Gram-Negative Bacteria (2014)

The emergence of one of the most recently described carbapenemases, namely, the New Delhi metallo-lactamase (NDM-1), constitutes a critical and growingly important medical issue. This resistance trait compromises the efficacy of almost all lactams (except aztreonam), including the last resort carbapenems. Therapeutical options may remain limited mostly to colistin, tigecycline, and fosfomycin. The main known reservoir of NDM producers is the Indian subcontinent whereas a secondary reservoir seems to have established the Balkans regions and the Middle East. Although the spread of bla NDM-like genes (several variants) is derived mostly by conjugative plasmids in Enterobacteriaceae, this carbapenemase has also been identified in P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. Acinetobacter sp. may play a pivotal role for spreading bla NDM genes for its natural reservoir to Enterobacteriaceae. Rapid diagnostic techniques (Carba NP test) and screening of carriers are the cornerstone to try to contain this outbreak which threatens the efficacy of the modern medicine.
High-speed tournament givens rotation-based QR Decomposition Architecture for MIMO Receiver (2012)

This paper presents a high-speed hardware architecture of an improved Givens rotation-based QR decomposition, named tournament-based complex Givens rotation (T-CGR). In the proposed approach, more than one pivots are selected and zero-insertion processes of Givens-rotations are performed in parallel like tournament in order to increase the throughput. As a result, the QR decomposition performance significantly increases compared to the triangular systolic array (TSA) approach. Moreover, the circuit area was reduced due to the smaller number of flip-flops for holding the computed results during the decomposition process. The proposed QR decomposition hardware was implemented using TSMC 0.25 um technology. The experimental results show that the proposed architecture achieves 73.00% speed-up over the TACR/TSA-based architecture for the 8 × 8 matrix decomposition.
Power Aware Routing Protocol (PARP) for Wireless Sensor Networks (2012)

Several wireless sensor network applications ought to decide the intrinsic variance between energy efficient communication and the requirement to attain preferred quality of service (QoS) such as packet delivery ratio, delay and to reduce the power consumption of wireless sensor nodes. In order to address this challenge, we propose the Power Aware Routing Protocol (PARP), which attains application-specified communication delays at low energy cost by dynamically adapting transmission power and routing decisions. Extensive simulation results prove that the proposed PARP attains better QoS and reduced power consumption.
A New Immobilized NAD<sup>+</sup> Analogue, Its Application in Affinity Chromatography and as a Functioning Coenzyme (1973)

Alkylation of NAD + with iodoacetic acid followed by alkaline rearrangement gave N 6 ‐carboxymethyl‐NAD + . Condensation of this analogue with 1,6‐diaminohexane gave the analogue NAD + ‐ N 6 ‐[ N ‐(6‐aminohexyl)‐acetamide]. The coenzymic activity of the two derivatives was tested with malate dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase. The efficiency relative to unsubstituted NAD + was in the range of 50–100%. NAD + ‐ N 6 ‐[ N ‐(6‐aminohexyl)‐acetamide] was attached to Sepharose 4B by the cyanogen bromide method. The immobilized NAD + analogue thus obtained, exhibited cofactor activity when tested in a recycling three‐enzyme system (malate dehydrogenease‐citrate synthase‐lactate dehydrogenase). The immobilized NAD + analogue proved to be and effective ligand in affinity chromatography. Thus a mixture of albumin, alcohol dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase was resolved with good recovery. The enzymes were eluted with NAD + and NADH, respectively.
Unsupervised and semi-supervised multi-class support vector machines (2005)

We present new unsupervised and semi-supervised training algorithms for multi-class support vector machines based on semidefinite programming. Although support vector machines (SVMs) have been a dominant machine learning technique for the past decade, they have generally been applied to supervised learning problems. Developing unsupervised extensions to SVMs has in fact proved to be difficult. In this paper, we present a principled approach to unsupervised SVM training by formulating convex relaxations of the natural training criterion: find a labeling that would yield an optimal SVM classifier on the resulting training data. The problem is hard, but semidefinite relaxations can approximate this objective surprisingly well. While previous work has concentrated on the two-class case, we present a general, multi-class formulation that can be applied to a wider range of natural data sets. The resulting training procedures are computationally intensive, but produce high quality generalization results.
Chemical concentration measurement in blood serum and urine samples using liquid-core optical fiber Raman spectroscopy (2007)

We report measurements of chemical concentrations in clinical blood serum and urine samples using liquid-core optical fiber (LCOF) Raman spectroscopy to increase the collected signal strength. Both Raman and absorption spectra were acquired in the near-infrared region using the LCOF geometry. Spectra of 71 blood serum and 61 urine samples were regressed via partial least squares against reference analyzer values. Significant correlation was found between predicted and reference concentrations for 13 chemicals. Using absorption data to normalize the LCOF enhancement made the results more accurate. The experimental geometry is well suited for high-volume and automated chemical analysis of clear biofluids.
Bovine lactoferrin: benefits and mechanism of action against infectionsThis paper is one of a selection of papers published in this Special Issue, entitled 7th International Conference on Lactoferrin: Structure, Functions, and Applications, and has undergone the Journal's usual peer review process. (2006)

Ingestion of bovine lactoferrin (bLF) has been reported to show anti-infective, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. In particular, it has become evident that oral bLF had a beneficial effect on infections of both digestive and nondigestive tract tissue in various animal models. Furthermore, the effects of bLF have been indicated in clinical studies on patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic hepatitis C, tinea pedis, and other diseases. Immunomodulation in the intestine and systemic sites has been suggested to mediate the protective effects of oral bLF against infection. Recently, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of oral bLF in influenza virus infected mice. BLF administration reduced the lung consolidation score and the number of infiltrating leukocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. We also investigated the effect of oral bLF on the transcription of genes related to immunity in the small intestine of mice using the quantitative RT-PCR method. We found that intake of bLF increased the expression of IL-12p40, IFN-beta, and NOD2. Thus, oral bLF activates the transcription of important immune-related genes in the small intestine, and such transcriptional activation may promote systemic host immunity.
Fast approximation of self-similar network traffic (1995)

Recent netwoik traffic studies argue that network arrival processes are much more faithfully modeled using statistically self-similar processes instead of traditional Poisson processes (L1WW94a, PF94].One difficulty in dealing with selfsimilar models is how to efficiently synthesize traces (sample paths) corresponding to self-similar traffic.We present a fast Fourier transform method for synthesizing approximate selfsimilar sample paths and assess its performance and validity.We find that the method is as fast or faster than existing methods and appears to generate a closer approximation to true self-similar sample paths than the other known fast method (Random Midpoint Displacement).We then discuss issues in using such synthesized sample paths for simulating network traffic, and how an approximation used by our method can dramatically speed up evaluation of Whittle's estimator for H, the Hurst parameter giving the strength of long-range dependence present in a self-similar time series.
Influence of polymer microstructure on the performance of post‐treated latex‐based pressure sensitive adhesives (2011)

Abstract Latex‐based butyl acrylate (BA)/acrylic acid (AA)/2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) films with various microstructures were heated to improve their performance. The treated PSA films showed significantly better performance than original latex‐based PSA films with similar polymer microstructures. The effect of the heat treatment depended on the polymer microstructure of the untreated PSA films (or corresponding latices). Decreasing the amount of very small sol polymers (i.e., M x < 2 M e ) in gel‐free untreated PSA films, or both very small (i.e., M x < 2 M e ) and very large sol polymers (i.e., M x > 20 M e ) in gel‐containing untreated PSA films led to treated PSA films with significantly better performance. (Note: M e is the molecular weight between two adjacent entanglement points in a polymer material.) In addition, simultaneously increasing the sol polymer molecular weight ( M w ) as well as the size of the chain segments between two adjacent cross‐linking points ( M c ) of the gel polymer in the original PSAs resulted in treated PSA films with better performance. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Primary glenoid dysplasia (2001)

We reviewed 12 patients with primary glenoid dysplasia. Ten were assessed clinically and two from case notes and radiographs. We identified two groups according to the age at onset of symptoms. The first (seven patients) consisted of boys and younger men, all of whom developed symptoms before the age of 40 years. All four children were free from pain, whereas the three adults in this group had varying degrees of this. Four patients had symptoms of instability. The second group consisted of older men (five patients) all of whom had noted the onset of symptoms, in the form of pain and stiffness, after the age of 40 years. All five had radiological evidence of osteoarthritis. Although the four children in our study had minimal symptoms, all eight adults had ongoing shoulder pain and dysfunction, despite a specific rehabilitation programme. Four patients required surgery; one had posterior stabilisation for instability and three arthroplasties of the shoulder for osteoarthritis.

Large-Scale DTM Generation From Satellite Data (2019)

In remote sensing, Digital Terrain Models (DTM) generation is a long-standing problem involving bare-terrain extraction and surface reconstruction to estimate a DTM from a Digital Surface Model (DSM). Most existing methods (including commercial software packages) have difficulty handling large-scale satellite data of inhomogeneous quality and resolution, and often need an expert-driven manual parameter-tuning process for each geographical type of DSM. In this paper we propose an automated and versatile DTM generation method from satellite data that is perfectly suited to large-scale applications. A novel set of feature descriptors based on multiscale morphological analysis are first computed to extract reliable bare-terrain elevations from DSMs. This terrain extraction algorithm is robust to noise and adapts well to local reliefs in both flat and highly mountainous areas. Then, we reconstruct the final DTM mesh using relative coordinates with respect to the sparse elevations previously detected, and induce preservation of geometric details by adapting these coordinates based on local relief attributes. Experiments on worldwide DSMs show the potential of our approach for large-scale DTM generation without parameter tuning. Our system is flexible as well, as it allows for a straightforward integration of multiple external masks (e.g., forest, road line, buildings, lake, etc) to better handle complex cases, resulting in further improvements of the quality of the output DTM.

Inter-picture prediction based on 3D point cloud model (2015)

The explosive growth of images in the cloud calls for more efficient image compression that exploits redundancy between images. Traditional solutions to image set compression are sensitive to the diversity in the clustered image sets in the cloud. In this paper, we propose a more efficient inter-picture prediction based on 3D point cloud model. Leveraging the 3D points and camera parameters, we design a patch-wise warping algorithm to generate prediction. Preliminary experimental results show the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the JPEG and HEVC intra as long as high quality reference is provided. The average bitrate reduction is 15.1% in comparison with HEVC intra on the tested 30 images of Notre Dame. Meanwhile, the perceptual quality of the reconstructed images is improved.
Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Formic Acid (2014)

Abstract This Review provides an overview of electrochemical techniques that are implemented in addressing gaseous CO 2 towards the synthesis of a particular fuel (i.e. formic acid). The electrochemical reaction mechanism, as well as the advancement of electrodes, catalyst materials, and reactor designs are reviewed and discussed. To date, the electrolytic cell is the dominant reaction site and, based on which, various catalysts have been proposed and researched. In addition, relevant work regarding reactor design optimization for the purpose of alleviating restrictions of the current CO 2 electrochemical reduction system are summarized, including low reactant‐transfer rate, high reaction overpotential, and low product selectivity. The use of microfluidic techniques to build microscale electrochemical reactors is identified to be highly promising to largely increase the electrochemical performance. Finally, future challenges and opportunities of electrochemical reduction of CO 2 are discussed.

The effects of some boron compounds on the curing characteristics of natural rubber-, nitrile rubber-, and silicone rubber-based gum vulcanizates have been studied. The kinetic parameters have been evaluated through analy sis of rheographs using Coran's model. For comparison of the related parame ters, results of swelling measurements have been included. The identified retardability of a boron compound has been compared with that of conventional retarders.
Detecting Kinase Activities from Single Cell Lysate Using Concentration-Enhanced Mobility Shift Assay (2014)

Electrokinetic preconcentration coupled with mobility shift assays can give rise to very high detection sensitivities. We describe a microfluidic device that utilizes this principle to detect cellular kinase activities by simultaneously concentrating and separating substrate peptides with different phosphorylation states. This platform is capable of reliably measuring kinase activities of single adherent cells cultured in nanoliter volume microwells. We also describe a novel method utilizing spacer peptides that significantly increase separation resolution while maintaining high concentration factors in this device. Thus, multiplexed kinase measurements can be implemented with single cell sensitivity. Multiple kinase activity profiling from single cell lysate could potentially allow us to study heterogeneous activation of signaling pathways that can lead to multiple cell fates.
A high efficiency complementary GaAs power FET technology for single supply portable applications (2002)

A high efficiency enhancement mode power heterostructure FET has been developed for single supply portable applications. The device requires only a single 3 V supply for operation, making it an ideal candidate for portable applications. At 850 MHz, a 1.0 /spl mu/m/spl times/12 mm N-type FET exhibited a power output of +30.7 dBm, power gain of 10.6 dB, and a power-added efficiency of 60%, at a drain to source voltage of 3 V, and drain to source quiescent current of 150 mA. This device was fabricated on a standard Complementary GaAs (CGaAs) process flow, which is capable of simultaneously building low-voltage, low-power digital circuits (200 MHz), high-speed digital circuits (5 GHz), and RF power circuits (900 MHz).

Graphene-enabled wireless communication for massive multicore architectures (2013)

Current trends in microprocessor architecture design are leading towards a dramatic increase of core-level parallelization, wherein a given number of independent processors or cores are interconnected. Since the main bottleneck is foreseen to migrate from computation to communication, efficient and scalable means of inter-core communication are crucial for guaranteeing steady performance improvements in many-core processors. As the number of cores grows, it remains unclear whether initial proposals, such as the Network-on-Chip (NoC) paradigm, will meet the stringent requirements of this scenario. This position paper presents a new research area where massive multicore architectures have wireless communication capabilities at the core level. This goal is feasible by using graphene-based planar antennas, which can radiate signals at the Terahertz band while utilizing lower chip area than its metallic counterparts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that discusses the utilization of graphene-enabled wireless communication for massive multicore processors. Such wireless systems enable broadcasting, multicasting, all-to-all communication, as well as significantly reduce many of the issues present in massively multicore environments, such as data coherency, consistency, synchronization and communication problems. Several open research challenges are pointed out related to implementation, communications and multicore architectures, which pave the way for future research in this multidisciplinary area.
Checking threat modeling data flow diagrams for implementation conformance and security (2007)

Threat modeling is a lightweight approach to reason about application security and uses Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) with security annotations. We extended Reflexion Models to check the conformance of an as-designed DFD with an approximation of the as-built DFD obtained from the implementation. We also designed a set of properties and an analysis to help novice designers think about security threats such as spoofing, tampering and information disclosure.
