Chimeric DNA-RNA Hammerhead Ribozyme to Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen Reduces Stent-Induced Stenosis in a Porcine Coronary Model (1999)

Chimeric hammerhead ribozyme to PCNA inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation in vitro and reduces both histomorphometric and angiographic restenosis in the porcine coronary stent model when delivered locally.
Survey of the U.S. Gulf Coast for the Presence of <i>Clostridium botulinum</i> (1967)

In sediments and animals collected during warm weather months between Key West, Fla., and Brownsville, Tex., Clostridium botulinum, predominantly type E, was demonstrable. Incidence was somewhat higher in the eastern Gulf animals, but the organism was present to the southernmost limits of both Texas and Florida. Types A and F were never detected in warm weather. No bottom type or any single species seemed exclusively vulnerable. In samples collected during colder weather, the east-west incidence differential was minimized in animals but not in sediments, overall incidence was lowered, all known types were present, and type E no longer predominated. Detection by fluorescent-antibody techniques was found to be inadequate.
Carbohydrate bait preferences of wasps ( <i>Vespula vulgaris</i> and <i>V. germanica</i> ) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in New Zealand (1996)

Abstract Carbohydrates are both a source of food and a potential bait for control of common and German wasps. Carbohydrate preferences of wasps were determined in a series of paired trials by counting the number of wasps caught in traps baited with carbohydrate‐based baits versus a standard protein‐based bait. Factors influencing wasp attraction to carbohydrate‐based baits included bait type, season, weather, and location. A 30% sucrose solution was more attractive than honey, jams, gels, or dry (solid) sugars. The sucrose solution was more attractive in spring and autumn than in summer, probably because rainfall washed away natural carbohydrate supplies. There was a significant relationship between rainfall in the previous week and the proportion of wasps caught in traps baited with sucrose solution versus sardine cat‐food. A higher proportion of German wasps than common wasps was caught in sucrose‐baited traps. This may have been related to seasonal differences in abundance and/or behavioural differences between the two species. In some locations, more wasps were caught in traps baited with sucrose solution than in those baited with sardine cat‐food. The proportion of wasps caught in sucrose‐baited traps was higher in locations without beech scale honeydew than with beech scale honey‐dew. Proportionally more non‐target species (mainly honey bees) and fewer wasps were caught in traps baited with sucrose solution than in those baited with sardine cat‐food. All five bee repellents tested also repelled wasps. These results indicate the importance of determining the bait preferences of wasps (carbohydrate or protein) and the presence of non‐target species before attempting a poison‐baiting operation. They also emphasise the need for a wasp‐specific carbohydrate‐based bait.
Triggering Myocardial Infarction by Sexual Activity (1996)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To determine the relative risks of nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) triggered by sexual activity among the general population and in patients with prior coronary heart disease. <h3>Design.</h3> —Relative risks and effect modification were calculated by the case-crossover method, a new epidemiologic technique designed to quantify the transient change in risk following exposure to a potential disease trigger. <h3>Setting/Participants.</h3> —A total of 1774 patients with MI were interviewed in 45 hospitals throughout the United States. Data were gathered on potential triggers of MI occurring immediately prior to the event and during the previous year. Results are presented for the 858 patients who were sexually active in the year prior to the Ml, with attention to the 273 patients who had coronary artery disease prior to their index Ml, and the effect of regular exertion on risk. <h3>Main Outcome Measure.</h3> —The relative risk of nonfatal MI following sexual activity. <h3>Results.</h3> —Of the 858 patients, 79 (9%) reported sexual activity in the 24 hours preceding Ml, and 27 (3%) reported sexual activity in the 2 hours preceding onset of symptoms of MI. The relative risk of MI occurring in the 2 hours after sexual activity was 2.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7-3.7). The relative risk of triggering onset of Ml among patients with a history of prior angina (2.1 [95% CI, 0.8-5.8]) or prior Ml (2.9 [95% CI, 1.3-6.5) was not greater than that observed in those without prior cardiac disease. Sexual activity was a likely contributor to the onset of Ml in only 0.9% of cases and regular exertion was associated with decreasing risk. <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —Sexual activity can trigger the onset of MI. However, the relative risk is low, and since the absolute hourly risk of MI is extremely low, the absolute risk increase caused by sexual activity also is extremely low (1 chance in a million for a healthy individual). Moreover, the relative risk is not increased in patients with a prior history of cardiac disease and regular exercise appears to prevent triggering. These findings should be useful for counseling patients and decreasing the fear of sexual activity that often prevents complete rehabilitation from cardiovascular disease.

Clinical and Psychometric Distinction of Frontotemporal and Alzheimer Dementias (2007)

Clinical and cognitive features of FTLD may overlap with AD, although behavioral and language difficulties distinguish those with FTLD. Memory loss in those with FTLD may in part reflect word-finding difficulties stemming from language dysfunction. Compounding the overlap of FTLD and AD clinical phenotypes is the presence of histopathological AD in almost one fourth of individuals with FTLD.
A DNS-based information-centric network architecture open to multiple protocols for transfer of data objects (2018)

In this paper, we present the information-centric NEO (Networked Object) architecture. To enable reuse of existing network protocols and naming formats, NEO uses DNS domain names as data object names, as well as DNS proxies and servers that are enhanced for information-centric operation. A key feature of NEO is its openness to a variety of legacy protocols for transfer of data objects, such as HTTP, CoAP or IP multicast. NEO allows for selection of transfer protocol per data object, so that the most optimal protocol can be selected for the data object and use case at hand. Also, NEO can employ clean slate protocols such as CCN or NDN for transfer of data objects. We validate the NEO architecture in a testbed using DNS for resolution of data object names and HTTP, CoAP, IP multicast, and CCN for object transfer. We also describe several features implemented in the NEO testbed, such as policy routing, publisher mobility, publish-subscribe and service chaining for IoT use cases.
MyoD inhibits Fstl1 and Utrn expression by inducing transcription of miR-206 (2006)

Terminal differentiation of distinct cell types requires the transcriptional activation of differentiation-specific genes and the suppression of genes associated with the precursor cell. For example, the expression of utrophin (Utrn) is suppressed during skeletal muscle differentiation, and it is replaced at the sarcolemma by the related dystrophin protein. The MyoD transcription factor directly activates the expression of a large number of skeletal muscle genes, but also suppresses the expression of many genes. To characterize a mechanism of MyoD-mediated suppression of gene expression, we investigated two genes that are suppressed in fibroblasts converted to skeletal muscle by MyoD, follistatin-like 1 (Fstl1) and Utrn. MyoD directly activates the expression of a muscle-specific microRNA (miRNA), miR-206, which targets sequences in the Fstl1 and Utrn RNA, and these sequences are sufficient to suppress gene expression in the presence of miR-206. These findings demonstrate that MyoD, in addition to activating muscle-specific genes, induces miRNAs that repress gene expression during skeletal muscle differentiation.
A robust 8F/sup 2/ ferroelectric RAM cell with depletion device (DeFeRAM) (2000)

This paper describes an area-penalty-free, leakage-compensated, and noise-immune 8F/sup 2/ cell design suitable for high-density, low-power ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM) generations. The new concept features a 1T1C ferroelectric memory cell containing an additional depletion device (DeFeRAM) controlled by the passing word line in a folded bit-line architecture. The depletion device permits the use of a common cell plate at intermediate voltage level. A highly reliable three-level word-line driver circuit design is discussed.
PAC-Bayes-Bernstein Inequality for Martingales and its Application to Multiarmed Bandits (2011)

We develop a new tool for data-dependent analysis of the exploration-exploitation trade-off in learning under limited feedback. Our tool is based on two main ingredients. The first ingredient is a new concentration inequality that makes it possible to control the concentration of weighted averages of multiple (possibly uncountably many) simultaneously evolving and interdependent martingales. The second ingredient is an application of this inequality to the exploration-exploitation trade-off via importance weighted sampling. We apply the new tool to the stochastic multiarmed bandit problem, however, the main importance of this paper is the development and understanding of the new tool rather than improvement of existing algorithms for stochastic multiarmed bandits. In the follow-up work we demonstrate that the new tool can improve over state-of-the-art in structurally richer problems, such as stochastic multiarmed bandits with side information (Seldin et al., 2011a).
Septanose Carbohydrates. III. Oxidation-Reduction Products From 1,2-3,4-Di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucoseptanose: Preparation of L-Idose Derivatives (1990)

Oxidation of 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-a-D-glucoseptanose (1a) with dimethyl sulfoxide and acetic anhydride has yielded methylthiomethyl ether (1b), ketone (2), and a novel product (3). Reduction of (2) gave (1a) and its L-ido isomer (4a) which yielded the mono-O-isopropylidene compound (5a) on aqueous acid hydrolysis. Treatment of (5a) with acidified acetone gave (4a) and 1,2:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-ß-L- idoseptanose (7a). Reaction of (2) with methylmagnesium iodide yielded the two 5-C-methyl compounds (8) and (9). Hydrolysis of (8) and (9) gave 5-C-methyl-D-glucose (10) and 5-C-methyl-L-idose (11), respectively, as crystalline compounds which yielded crystalline pentaacetates on acetylation. Treatment of the p-toluenesulfonate (1c) with lithium benzoate in dimethylformamide gave the benzoate of (4a) and an elimination product (17). Reaction of (1c) with sodium methoxide in methanol yielded (17) and the isomeric elimination product (18).
Synchronous and Stochastic Patterns of Gene Activation in the <i>Drosophila</i> Embryo (2009)

Drosophila embryogenesis is characterized by rapid transitions in gene activity, whereby crudely distributed gradients of regulatory proteins give way to precise on/off patterns of gene expression. To explore the underlying mechanisms, a partially automated, quantitative in situ hybridization method was used to visualize expression profiles of 14 developmental control genes in hundreds of embryos. These studies revealed two distinct patterns of gene activation: synchronous and stochastic. Synchronous genes display essentially uniform expression of nascent transcripts in all cells of an embryonic tissue, whereas stochastic genes display erratic patterns of de novo activation. RNA polymerase II is "pre-loaded" (stalled) in the promoter regions of synchronous genes, but not stochastic genes. Transcriptional synchrony might ensure the orderly deployment of the complex gene regulatory networks that control embryogenesis.
Exploiting the principle parametric resonance of an electric oscillator for vibratory energy harvesting (2017)

Vibratory energy harvesters typically exploit ordinary direct resonances to mechanically amplify environmental inputs before channeling a portion of their energy into an electric load using an electromechanical transduction mechanism. Nonetheless, parametric resonance which has also been recently exploited, but to a lesser extent, holds a key advantage over direct excitations in that, when the level of input excitation exceeds a certain threshold, the amplitude of growth associated with parametric pumping is not limited by the total linear damping present in the system. While all of the previous research studies using parametric resonances for energy harvesting focused on utilizing it as a means of mechanical amplification, this letter demonstrates that vibratory excitations can also be used effectively to induce parametric resonances in the harvesting circuit itself, thereby providing a direct and simple means of electric amplification. A vibratory energy harvester exploiting this phenomenon is proposed in this letter and is shown to produce a maximum of 18 mW root-mean-square power per 1 g of input acceleration.

The Semi-blind Receiver Research Based STBC and Parallel Factor (2011)

This paper uses space-time block code (STBC) encoding under the circumstances of 4 transmit antennas and 4 receive antennas. And then, it analyzes the received signal using parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis. The estimate signal is obtained by iterative least squares estimates. At last, it is compare the STBC and binary code, the result shows, that PARAFAC algorithm can get a better signal to noise ratio in applied to the case of STBC coding. It means that parallel factor analysis have an extremely important value, especially to semi-blind signal processing in the future communication systems.

A rapid instrumental method for the evaluation of the stability of fats (1987)

Abstract A rapid instrumental method for evaluation of stability of fats has been proposed. Acceleration of oxidation is accomplished by vigorous mixing of a heated sample with oxygen at atmospheric pressure. The volume of absorbed oxygen determined directly by means of a special manostatic device constitutes the measure of the course of the reaction. Experimental results are recorded on a strip‐chart plot of the volume of oxygen absorbed as a function of time. The start of rapid absorption of oxygen at the end of the induction period is taken as the end point. Samples of commercial low‐erucic rapeseed oil, soybean oil and lightly hydrogenated soybean oil had end points in the range of 50 to 100 at a temperature of 120 C.
Haze Removal of Single Remote Sensing Image by Combining Dark Channel Prior with Superpixel (2016)

Dehazing is important in remote sensing image restorations to enhance the acquired low quality image for interpretation. However, traditional methods have some limitations for dehazing of remote sensing images due to its color distortion and noise. In this paper, we propose an improved method combining superpixel segmentation with luminance information of a haze image to estimate the atmospheric light instead of dark channel prior. Using this method with the haze imaging model, we can directly estimate the thickness of the haze and restore a high quality haze-free image. Experimental results on a variety of remote sensing haze images demonstrate our approach can achieve better image quality when compared with well-known He's [1] method for remote sensing images. Index Terms- Haze removal; superpixel segmentation; atmospheric scattering model;

Sub-picosecond all-optical gate utilizing aN intersubband transition (2005)

All-optical gate-switch operation utilizing GaN intersubband-transition has been achieved by reducing edge dislocation density in the epitaxial layers. The diminution of dislocation was accomplished by MBE regrowth on an MOCVD-grown layer. Excess propagation loss for transverse magnetic polarization decreased due to the reduction of the dislocation. By the improvement of the propagation property, sub-picosecond all-optical gate with an extinction ratio of more than 10 dB was accomplished with an input pulse energy of 150 pJ. Moreover, the insertion loss with the switch on was improved.

Tube Tamponade: Potential Pitfall in Angiography of Arterial Hemorrhage Associated with Percutaneous Drainage Catheters (1990)

Diagnostic angiography performed to search for a source of hemorrhage in three patients with percutaneous transhepatic biliary catheters and one patient with a percutaneous nephrostomy catheter was initially unrewarding when performed with the drainage catheter in place. In each patient, removal of the drainage catheter resulted in severe pulsatile hemorrhage from the parenchymal tract and allowed angiographic localization of the bleeding site. Temporary control of the hemorrhage was then obtained by inflating an angioplasty balloon within the tract. Transcatheter embolotherapy provided definitive control of bleeding in three patients. When initial angiographic evaluation for bleeding in patients with percutaneous biliary and nephrostomy catheters fails to depict a source, the study should be repeated immediately after removal of the drainage catheter. Because hemorrhage can be severe once tamponade is relieved, the drainage catheter should be withdrawn over a guide wire so that a tamponading catheter can be rapidly reinserted to control hemorrhage until more definitive therapy is undertaken.
Effects of N-Acetylcysteine in Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (2014)

Abstract We previously showed that the plasma of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) contains an elevated quantity of von Willebrand factor (VWF) with high specific adhesive activity (as measured by the binding of nanobody AU/VWFa-11). Total active VWF (VWF antigen multiplied by VWF specific activity) correlated with the extent of hemolysis in these patients (Chen J. et al., Blood, 2011, 117:3680). In another study, we showed that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced VWF size and activity ex vivo and broke down platelet–VWF aggregates in vivo in mice (Chen J. et al, JCI, 2011, 121:522). Given the possibility that VWF is involved in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease, we are examining whether NAC can benefit these patients. We are first conducting a pilot clinical trial to determine the safety profile of infused NAC and its effects on laboratory endpoints. Five SCD patients at disease baseline and not recently transfused will be enrolled. To date, two patients have completed intravenous infusion of NAC at a low dose of 150 mg/kg with a bolus infusion of 75 mg/kg for the 1st hr and 75 mg/kg for 7 hr. Approximately one month after the low-dose infusion, these patients received another infusion of 300 mg/kg given as a bolus infusion of 150 mg/kg for the 1st hr and 150 mg/kg for 7 hr. Blood was collected for analysis immediately before the infusion, at 1 hr (after bolus infusion), 8 hr, 24 hr, and 72 hr after infusion. Among the parameters examined were plasma VWF, red blood cell concentration, density, and size (to look for fragments), and the concentrations of NAC, cysteine and glutathione and their oxidized and mixed disulfide forms. In these two patients, the NAC infusion was well tolerated except that both patients experienced pruritus during the higher-dose bolus infusion. We measured the concentrations of reduced and oxidized NAC, cysteine, and glutathione in whole blood in the first study subject by mass spectrometry. NAC concentrations were 725 μM and 1.58 mM at the 1 hr time point at the low and high doses, respectively. Compared to the baseline (before NAC infusion), the concentration of total cysteine in blood was increased 2.4 fold for low dose and 2.9 fold for high dose at 1 hr and returned to baseline at 8 hr. The concentration of total glutathione in whole blood was increased 1.5 fold and 1.3 fold at 24, and 72 hr, respectively, for the high dose infusion but did not change much at the low dose infusion. The size of high molecular weight VWF multimers decreased with the high dose infusion, the effect being obvious at 1 hr. In addition, NAC infusion markedly reduced the concentration of red cell fragments and dense cells. Both of these effects were very rapid, being observable at the 1 hr time point. In summary, NAC infusion in sickle cell patients at disease baseline appears safe. NAC increases the concentrations of total cysteine and glutathione in blood, reduces high molecular weight VWF multimers, and decreases the number of dense red blood cells and the extent of red cell fragmentation.

Arabidopsis Hydroponics and Shoot Branching Assay (2012)

This protocol establishes growth of Arabidopsis seedlings in a hydroponic medium that is suitable for the controlled addition or withdrawal of any number of nutrients, hormones or metabolites to the plants via the roots. In this case, the described protocol is used to assay sensitivity of shoot branching to exogenously supplied strigolactone, typically the artificial strigolactone GR24. Plants deficient in strigolactone synthesis or response will typically exhibit an increased number of axillary branches compared to wild type. Strigolactone synthesis mutants should respond to exogenous GR24 with reduced numbers and length of axillary shoots, while the phenotype of response mutants will not be rescued. We present here a more detailed protocol extended from that described in Waters et al. (2012).
Influence of the surface interaction on threshold values in the cholesteric-nematic phase transition (1985)

The threshold values for the field-induced cholesteric to nematic phase transition are described as crossover points of the free energy levels of the textures concerned. Known expressions for these energy levels as a function of an electric field are extended with a surface interaction term. By interpretation of experimental results in terms of the equations derived, the surface interaction energy is calculated both for planar and homeotropically aligned cholesteric liquid-crystal mixtures. Besides differences between planar and homeotropic wall alignment a difference between two types of planar wall alignment can now be understood, too. Additionally, the method appears very useful for calculating the twist elastic constant K22.
