Real-Time Tracking and Reporting of Dynamic Events in Hierarchical Wireless Sensor Networks (2007)

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are highly distributed systems in which resource allocation (bandwidth, memory) must be performed efficiently to provide a minimum acceptable Quality of Service (QoS) to the regions where critical events occur. In fact, if resources are statically assigned independently from the location and instant of the events, these resources will definitely be misused. In other words, it is more efficient to dynamically grant more resources to sensor nodes affected by critical events, thus providing better network resource management and reducing endto- end delays of event notification and tracking. In this paper, we discuss the use of a WSN management architecture based on the active network management paradigm to provide the real-time tracking and reporting of dynamic events while ensuring efficient resource utilization. The active network management paradigm allows packets to transport not only data, but also program scripts that will be executed in the nodes to dynamically modify the operation of the network. This presumes the use of a runtime execution environment (middleware) in each node to interpret the script. We consider hierarchical (e.g. cluster-tree, two-tiered architecture) WSN topologies since they have been used to improve the timing performance of WSNs as they support deterministic medium access control protocols.
Nanolithographic patterning of transparent, conductive single-walled carbon nanotube films by inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (2007)

The authors report successful patterning of transparent, conductive single-walled carbon nanotube films down to 100nm lateral dimensions by photolithography or e-beam lithography and subsequent O2 plasma etching using an inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) system. They systematically study the effect of ICP-RIE etch parameters, such as substrate bias power, chamber pressure, and substrate cooling, on the nanotube film etch rate and etch selectivity. They also characterize the effect of the linewidth etched on the nanotube film etch rate for widths ranging from 50μm down to 100nm. Furthermore, by fabricating standard four point probe structures using the patterning capability developed, the authors investigate the effect of different resist processes on the resistivity of patterned single-walled carbon nanotube films and the effect of ICP reactive ion etching on the resistivity of partially etched nanotube films. In addition, they demonstrate that using an ICP-RIE system provides significant advantages, such as faster etch rates and better etch selectivity, over conventional parallel plate RIE plasma systems, making it possible to pattern lateral features as small as 100nm in nanotube films. The simple and efficient “top-down” patterning capability developed in this article could open up many opportunities for integrating single-walled nanotube films into a wide range of electronic and optoelectronic devices.
Chosen Ciphertext Secure Keyed-Homomorphic Public-Key Encryption. (2013)

In homomorphic encryption schemes, anyone can perform homomorphic operations, and therefore, it is difficult to manage when, where and by whom they are performed. In addition, the property that anyone can “freely ” perform the operation inevitably means that ciphertexts are malleable, and it is well-known that adaptive chosen ciphertext (CCA) security and the homomorphic property can never be achieved simultaneously. In this paper, we show that CCA security and the homomorphic property can be simultaneously handled in situations that the user(s) who can perform homomorphic operations on encrypted data should be controlled/limited, and propose a new concept of homomorphic public-key encryption, which we call keyed-homomorphic public-key encryption (KH-PKE). By introducing a secret key for homomorphic operations, we can control who is allowed to perform the homomorphic operation. To construct KH-PKE schemes, we introduce a new concept, a homomorphic transitional universal hash family, and present a number of KH-PKE schemes through hash proof systems. We also present a practical construction of KH-PKE from the DDH assumption. For ℓ-bit security, our DDH-based scheme yields only ℓ-bit longer ciphertext size than that of the Cramer-Shoup PKE scheme.
Word Sense Disambiguation as a Wordnets' Validation Method in Balkanet. (2004)

BalkaNet is a European project which aims at the development of monolingual wordnets for five languages in the Balkans area (Bulgarian, Greek, Romanian Serbia, and Turkish) and at improvement of the Czech wordnet developed in the EuroWordNet project. The wordnets are aligned to the Princeton Wordnet, according to the principles established by the EuroWordNet consortium. One of the main concerns of this project is the interlingual validation of the wordnets alignment. To this end, we have developed a WSD system based on parallel corpora which exploits the common intuition according to which words that are reciprocal translations in a parallel texts should have the same (or closely related) interlingual meanings. With wordnets under construction our WSD system is mainly a validation tool, pinpointing wrong interlingual alignments, incomplete or missing synsets in one or another of the wordnets.
Oxidation of Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solutions by Electrochemical Reduction of Oxygen (2013)

Oxygen reduction in nonaqueous electrolyte solutions containing Li salts is a complex field of research involving solution reactions with oxygen radicals and lithium oxides. The aprotic polar solvent dimethyl sulfoxide presents itself as a most promising candidate for a durable electrolyte for use in lithium–oxygen batteries. In the present study, we detail our in-depth study on dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) stability in the presence of electroactive lithium oxygen species on carbon electrodes. The question of the stability of DMSO is magnified by our use of carbon-fiber electrodes, which have relatively high specific surface-area and utilize low volumes of electrolyte solutions. This configuration has enabled us to identify even minor side-products such as LiOH, dimethyl sulfone, Li2SO3 and Li2SO4. The proposed mechanism of DMSO decomposition is supported by analytical measurements. These analyses confirm that during the reduction of oxygen on carbon electrodes, the solvent undergoes oxidation by reactive oxygen species and lithium oxides.
Plasmid DNA-coding p62 as a bone effective anti-inflammatory/anabolic agent (2015)

We recently reported that a DNA plasmid coding p62-SQSTM1 acts as an effective anti tumor vaccine against both transplantable mouse tumors and canine spontaneous mammary neoplasms. Here we report the unexpected finding that intramuscular delivery of p62 DNA exerts a powerful anti-osteoporotic activity in a mouse model of inflammatory bone loss (i.e, ovariectomy) by combining bone-sparing and osteo-synthetic effects. Notably, the suppression of osteoporosis by p62DNA was associated with a sharp down-regulation of master inflammatory cytokines, and up-regulation of endogenous p62 protein by bone-marrow stromal cells. The present data provide a solid rational to apply p62 DNA vaccine as a safe, new therapeutic for treatment of inflammatory related bone loss diseases.
WT1 Influences Apoptosis Through Transcriptional Regulation of Bcl-2 Family Members (2006)

WT1 is a zinc finger transcriptional regulatory protein that has been implicated in both normal development and in the generation of a variety of malignancies. Alternative splicing of the WT1 mRNA results in the expression of four major protein isoforms. There is increasing evidence that one of the functions of WT1 is the regulation of apoptosis, but there are conflicting reports about whether WT1 is pro- or anti-apoptotic. Careful review of the literature suggests that these apparent contradictions probably reflect cell lineage and isoform-specific differences in WT1 function. Expression of WT1 prevents programmed cell death in some cell types but promotes it in others, and different WT1 isoforms exert distinct effects as well. Investigation into the mechanisms by which WT1 regulates apoptosis has revealed that several bcl-2 family members are either direct or indirect WT1 target genes, including bcl-2 itself, the pro-apoptotic family members Bak and Bax, and the anti-apoptotic family member Bfl-1/A1. The specific bcl-2 family members regulated by WT1 expression vary by cell type and by isoform. Thus, a complete understanding of the role of WT1 in apoptosis will have to account for lineage- and isoform-specific effects of WT1 at both the cellular and molecular levels.
Methods for fractionation, separation and profiling of proteins and peptides (2002)

In the last few years there has been an increased effort to develop technologies capable of identifying and quantifying large numbers of proteins expressed within a cell system (i.e., the proteome). The complexity of the mixtures being analyzed has made the development of effective fractionation and separation methods a critical component of this effort. This review highlights many of the protein and peptide fractionation and separation methods, such as electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which have experienced significant development over the past forty years. Modern instrumental strategies for the resolution of cell proteins, based on separations employing a single high-resolution or multidimensional approach, and the relative merits of each, will be discussed. The focus of this manuscript will be on the development of multidimensional separations such as two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), HPLC/HPLC, and HPLC-capillary electrophoresis and their application to the characterization of complex proteome mixtures.
Energy-efficient physically tagged caches for embedded processors with virtual memory (2005)

In this paper we present a low-power tag organization for physically tagged caches in embedded processors with virtual memory support. An exceedingly small subset of tag bits is identified for each application hot-spot so that only these tag bits are used for cache access with no performance sacrifice as they provide complete address resolution. The minimal subset of physical tag bits, i.e. the compressed tag, is dynamically updated following the changes in the physical address space of the application. Special support from the operating system (OS) is introduced in order to maintain the compressed tag during program execution. The compressed tag is updated by the OS to match the current set of physical memory pages allocated to the application. We have proposed efficient algorithms that are incorporated within the memory allocator and the dynamic linker in order to achieve dynamic update of the compressed tags in the cases where the mapping between virtual and physical addresses is modified; such cases include memory allocation/deallocation and swapping physical pages on the secondary memory storage. The only hardware support needed within the l/D-caches is the support for disabling bitlines of the tag arrays. An extensive set of experimental results demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Ethanol and Water Extract of Purple Sweet Potato Exhibits Anti-Atherosclerotic Activity and Inhibits Protein Glycation (2010)

It is well known that extracts of purple sweet potato (PSP) have potent antioxidant activity. However, it has not been established whether extracts of PSP inhibit oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or protein glycation. LDL oxidation and protein glycation are well-known risk factors for chronic metabolic diseases, such as atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Chopped and sliced PSP and yellow sweet potato (YSP) were extracted individually at a concentration of 1 g of PSP tuber/mL using either ethanol or water for 6 hours. The PSP ethanol extract (100-fold diluted) showed stronger radical (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical) scavenging activity than the water extract of PSP and the ethanol extract of YSP (up to a sixfold higher activity). The ethanol extract of PSP also exhibited the highest increase in ferric reducing ability among all extracts. Cupric ion-mediated LDL oxidation was strongly inhibited by the ethanol extract of PSP, with similar potency to vitamin C treatment (final concentration, 10 mM). The PSP extract strongly inhibited fructose-mediated protein glycation as determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. The PSP extract-treated apolipoprotein (apo) A-I showed a decreased multimerization pattern on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, whereas glycated apoA-I showed the strongest multimeric band. PSP extract treatment also inhibited the uptake of oxidized LDL into human macrophage cells with suppression of malondialdehyde production in the cell culture medium. In conclusion, these results suggest that the extract of PSP can be used as a putative anti-atherosclerotic and antidiabetic agent with strong antioxidant functions. This is the first report to show the biological functions of PSP extract to treat hyperlipidemic and hyperglycemic disorders.
Benefits of Assessing the Solids Production Risk in a North Sea Reservoir using Elastoplastic Modelling (1998)

Abstract A reliable, non-conservative assessment of the risk of solids production is essential in order to identify the optimal completion strategy. A technique for such an assessment is developed in this paper through a geomechanical study of the Everest Complex of the North Sea, involving wells 22/10a-T2 and 22/10a-T6. This process is based on calibrating depth indexed measurements at discrete points using core data. The core samples were selected to be representative of the complete range of porosities and various clay volumes throughout the reservoir. The first step is the construction of the reservoir mechanical model by combining geophyscial well logs, the results of laboratory tests on core samples, and other field data, particularly drilling histories. In the second step, critical calibrated using predictions determined at single points using an elastoplastic theory (Bradford and Cook 1) which incorporates the influences of plastic hardening and delation. Results calculated using a new elastic-perfectly plastic model, which is derived in this paper, are also included. This model is suitable for use with log data. Results have been verified by simulating production through a perforation with thick wall cylinder tests on whole core form 22/10a-T2 (Nicholson et al.10). The results of the modelling provide formation failure data to build a map of the sanding potential in the Everest reservoirs. P. 261
Bayesian statistical approaches to tracking through turbulence (2004)

We describe two Bayesian approaches for tracking through turbulence. The problem considered involves an extended target actively illuminated with several lasers. The returned imagery is used to infer atmospheric tilt. The main application of this technology is the control of a steering mirror, which is used to point a laser weapon at the target. Several model-based approaches are examined, including an optical transfer function model and a tilted reference image model.
Angiogenesis imaging by spatiotemporal analysis of ultrasound contrast agent dispersion kinetics (2012)

The key role of angiogenesis in cancer growth has motivated extensive research with the goal of noninvasive cancer detection by blood perfusion imaging. However, the results are still limited and the diagnosis of major forms of cancer, such as prostate cancer, are currently based on systematic biopsies. The difficulty in the detection of angiogenesis partly resides in a complex relationship between angiogenesis and perfusion. This may be overcome by analysis of the dispersion kinetics of ultrasound contrast agents. Determined by multipath trajectories through the microvasculature, dispersion permits a better characterization of the microvascular architecture and, therefore, more accurate detection of angiogenesis. In this paper, a novel dispersion analysis method is proposed for prostate cancer localization. An ultrasound contrast agent bolus is injected intravenously. Spatiotemporal analysis of the concentration evolution measured at different pixels in the prostate is used to assess the local dispersion kinetics of the injected agent. In particular, based on simulations of the convective diffusion equation, the similarity between the concentration evolutions at neighbor pixels is the adopted dispersion measure. Six measurements in patients, compared with the histology, provided a receiver operating characteristic curve integral equal to 0.87. This result was superior to that obtained by the previous approaches reported in the literature.
Patterned media: a viable route to 50 Gbit/in/sup 2/ and up for magnetic recording? (1997)

The superparamagnetic limit on grain sizes may soon hinder progress in high density magnetic recording, and patterned media has been proposed as a means of overcoming this limit. Although no clear path exists for implementation of a patterned medium recording system, it is nonetheless worth considering some of the system-level problems and possibilities that would be inevitably associated with such a system. This paper examines some of these system-level issues, including implications for recording media, recording heads, and write-field pulse timing.
A New Approach to High-accuracy Road Orthophoto Mapping Based on Wavelet Transform (2011)

Existing orthophoto map based on satellite photography and aerial photography is not precise enough for road marking. This paper proposes a new approach to high-accuracy orthophoto mapping. The approach uses inverse perspective transformation to process the image information and generates the orthophoto fragment. The offline interpolation algorithm is used to process the location information. It processes the dead reckoning and the EKF location information, and uses the result to transform the fragments to the global coordinate system. At last it uses wavelet transform to divides the image to two frequency bands and uses weighted median algorithm to deal with them separately. The result of experiment shows that the map produced with this method has high accuracy.
Interdijital Tip Tinea Pedis’te Klotrimazol Ve Alüminyum Hidroksiklorid Kombinasyon Tedavisnin, Klotrimazol Tedavisi İle Karşılaştırılması (2009)

Comparation of Combined Clotrimasol and Aluminum Hydroxycloride with Clotrimasol Therapy in Interdigital Type Tinea PedisForty patients who have been diagnosed as interdigital type Tinea Pedis (TP) at the dermatology department of Ondokuz Mayıs University Medical Faculty included in this study. Effectiveness of the combination of clotrimasol - plus Aluminum Hydroxyc&#039;lOrid e (AHC) and clotrimasol plus placebo has been compared in two patient groups. This study has been performed as double blind, placebo controlled and the patients have been randomly divided into two groups. In both groups, patients have applied clotrimasol cream in the morning. In the evening, first group has applied placebo cream, second group AHC cream. •The patients have been evaluated for the age, sex, duration of the disease, previous therapies, mycological investigations that have been performed before and after therapy, symptoms, all and target lesion findings and side effects. At the end of the therapy decreasing of the symptoms in the second group were higher than the first group (p0.05). During the therapy, especially in tire second group, we have not observed irritation and any side effect. There is limited data that have implicated the importance of topical antiperspirants for the treatment of TP in the literature. But we couldn&#039;t find any study combining topical antifungals and antiperspirants. We didn&#039;t observe the superiority of combination therapy. We believe that similar studies with more patients and homogenous patient groups will give more meaningful results.Bu çalışmaya Samsun Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı Polikliniği&#039;ne başvuran, interdijital tip Tinea Pedis (TP) tanısı almış 40 hasta dahil edildi. İki hasta grubunda Klotrimazol ve Alüminyum hidroksiklorid (AHK) kombinasyonu ile Klotrimazol ve plasebo kombinasyonunun etkileri karşılaştırıldı. Bu çalışma çift kör, plasebo kontrollü olarak yürütüldü ve hastalar randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Her iki grubun hastalan klotrimazolu sabah uyguladılar. Akşam 1. grup plaseboyu uygularken, 2. grup AHK&#039;yı uyguladı. Hastalar yaş, cins, hastalık süresi, daha önce aldıkları tedaviler, tedavi öncesi ve sonrası mikolojik tetkikler, semptomlar, tüm ve hedef lezyon bulguları ve yan etki açısından değerlendirildiler. Tedavi sonunda 2. gruptaki hastaların semptomlanndaki azalma 1. gruptan daha fazla idi (p0.05). Tedavi esnasında özellikle 2. grupta hiçbir yan etki gözlenmedi. Literatürde TP tedavisinde topikal antiperspirantlann önemini bildiren sınırlı çalışmalar vardır. Ancak topikal antifungal tedavi ile kombine edilen hiçbir çalışmaya rastlayamadık. Kombine tedavinin üstünlüğünü gözlemedik. Daha fazla hasta sayısı ve homojen bir hasta grubu ile yapılan benzer çalışmanın daha anlamlı sonuçlar vereceği kanısındayız.
Haemostatic Factors and the Risk of Cardiovascular Death in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (2006)

In patients with coronary artery disease, fibrinogen and D-dimer levels are independent predictors of subsequent cardiovascular death. Our data support a role of impaired coagulation/fibrinolysis process in the complications of coronary artery disease.
Efficient Radiosynthesis of 3′-Deoxy-3′-<sup>18</sup>F-Fluorothymidine Using Electrowetting-on-Dielectric Digital Microfluidic Chip (2013)

The EWOD microchip and optimized synthesis method in combination represent an effective platform for synthesizing (18)F-FLT with high yield and of good quality for imaging. This compact platform, with configurable synthesis steps, could potentially form the basis of a stand-alone system that decouples PET probe production from the cyclotron and specialized radiochemistry facilities and increases diversity and flexibility in probe production.
Transgenic Mice Over-expressing a Serine Protease in the Skin: Evidence of Interferon γ-independent MHC II Expression by Epidermal Keratinocytes (2003)

Stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme (SCCE; also known as kallikrein 7) is a serine protease that is preferentially expressed in cornifying epithelia and possibly involved in the desquamation process. We have recently described transgenic mice over-expressing human SCCE in the epidermis showing increased epidermal thickness, hyperkeratosis, and an apparent dermal inflammation with pruritus. This suggests that SCCE may be involved in the pathophysiology of inflammatory skin diseases. We therefore carried out a further characterization of the skin changes observed in scce-transgenic mice. An increase in number of dermal cells was verified by stereological measurements showing a more than twofold increase of the volume fraction of dermis occupied by cell nuclei. In some, but not all, animals the number of dermal mast cells was increased. The dermal cell infiltrate was shown to consist mainly of macrophages and granulocytes. The number of epidermal and dermal T-lymphocytes was not increased. Dermal changes were found in transgenic animals before the age they became pruritic. No increase in interferon-gamma expression could be detected in the skin of transgenic animals. In spite of this, keratinocytes of adult transgenic mice were found to express MHC II antigen. We suggest that increased expression and/or activity of epidermal SCCE may lead to skin changes that contribute to development and maintenance of inflammatory skin diseases.
