Advanced law enforcement vehicle electronics and associated power (2003)

An ever-increasing role of technology in law enforcement has led to the integration of numerous electronic devices into the advanced law enforcement vehicle. Along with improved safety and efficiency of law enforcement personnel, the addition of these electronics has resulted in significant vehicle power management challenges. The Texas Transportation Institute has developed the Advanced Law Enforcement and Response Technology (ALERT(R)) system. The ALERT system is an integrated, mobile platform for emergency response vehicles that incorporates public safety data collection, wireless communications and control of in-vehicle peripherals. The ALERT architecture includes a ruggedized computer and color touch screen display, ALERT-compliant vehicle peripheral equipment, a standard, in-vehicle data communication bus, and wireless communication components for transfer of voice, data, and images. It is expected that as additional technologies are integrated into advance law enforcement vehicles advanced power management approaches will be necessary.
Crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of type-I clathrate compounds in the Ba–Ga–Ge system (2006)

The crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of type-I clathrate compounds in the Ba–Ga–Ge system have been investigated as a function of Ga content. The solid solubility of Ga in the type-I clathrate compounds is determined to be X=16 when expressed with the formula of Ba8GaXGe46−X. As the Ga content increases, the crystal structure changes from a superlattice structure to the normal type-I clathrate structure with the transition occurring at X=3.5–5. The density of Ge vacancies in the type-I clathrate phase decreases as the Ga content increases. The absolute values of electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient increase, while that of lattice thermal conductivity decreases with the increase in the Ga content. The changes in electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient are explained in terms of the number of excess electrons, while the change in lattice thermal conductivity is explained in terms of the extent of the rattling motion of Ba atoms encapsulated in the cage structure.
Determinants of Voluntary Job-to-Job Mobility (2003)

This paper explores both observable and unobservable variables that would affect employed workers ’ decisions on job change. A survey was conducted through one-to-one interviews, and the sample consists of 965 full-time employed workers. The logistic re-gression models are employed to analyze the two binary measures of job-to-job mobility: i) whether an individual is considering a job change, and ii) whether an individual is ac-tively looking for another job. We find that age, job satisfaction, satisfaction with working environment or job se-curity, and firm size are among the major factors determining workers ’ job-to-job mobil-ity. Younger workers and workers in smaller firms are more mobile. Workers with lower level of job satisfaction are more likely to consider a change in employment and to ac-tively look for other jobs, and so are workers with lower level of satisfaction with their working environment or job security. We also find that men are more likely to consider a change in job than women, but when actually looking for another job is concerned, men and women do not differ. Furthermore, monthly income and working sector contribute significantly to looking for other jobs but not to considering job change.
Fourier transform-limited optical frequency-modulated continuous-wave interferometry over several tens of laser coherence lengths (2016)

We report on a versatile optical frequency-modulated continuous-wave interferometry technique that exploits wideband phase locking for generating highly coherent linear laser frequency chirps. This technique is based on an ultra-short delay-unbalanced interferometer, which leads to a large bandwidth, short lock time, and robust operation even in the absence of any isolation from environmental perturbations. In combination with a digital delay-matched phase error compensation, this permits the achievement of a range window about 60 times larger than the intrinsic laser coherence length with a 1.25 mm Fourier transform-limited spatial resolution. The demonstrated configuration can be easily applied to virtually any semiconductor laser.

Experience with rover navigation for lunar-like terrains (2002)

Reliable navigation is critical for a lunar rover, both for autonomous traverses and safeguarded remote teleoperation. This paper describes an implemented system that has autonomously driven a prototype wheeled lunar rover over a kilometer in natural, outdoor terrain. The navigation system uses stereo terrain maps to perform local obstacle avoidance, and arbitrates steering recommendations from both the user and the rover. The paper describes the system architecture, each of the major components, and the experimental results to date.

Natural Killer Cell Proliferation Is Dependent on Human Serum and Markedly Increased Utilizing an Enriched Supplemented Basal Medium (1995)

We studied the effects of basal medium and human serum on the ex vivo expansion of CD56+/CD3- natural killer cells (NK). We demonstrated that sorted NK cultured for 18 days with 10% human AB serum without accessory cells in a 2:1 DMEM/F12 basal medium expanded significantly greater (6.4 +/- 0.9-fold, n = 14) than when cultured in standard RPMI 1640 basal medium (3.7 +/- 0.67-fold, n = 16; p = 0.019). Supplementation of the DMEM/F12 mixture with 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME), ethanolamine, L-ascorbic acid, and sodium selenite significantly augmented NK proliferation (16.3 +/- 2.5-fold, n = 11; p < 0.001) compared with DMEM/F12 without supplements. NK growth kinetics demonstrated that both the growth rate and the duration of exponential growth were increased by medium supplements. Addition of 2ME-containing supplements to cultures of NK with accessory cells augments NK proliferation, recruits NK progenitors, and has a serum-sparing effect. For the large-scale expansion of NK, we demonstrate a greater than 30-fold increase (n = 7) in the number of activated natural killer cells (ANK) derived from CD5/CD8-depleted PBMNC when cultured for 35 days in supplemented DMEM/F12 versus RPMI 1640 basal medium (197.6 +/- 95.0-fold versus 6.3 +/- 2.1-fold, respectively). Serum-free media (AIM-V and X-VIVO 10) were unable to support NK proliferation. These data suggest that utilizing 2:1 DMEM/F12 + 2ME-containing supplements instead of standard RPMI 1640 as a basal medium can increase the proliferation of cytotoxic NK while reducing the culture interval and the amount of serum needed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Eosinophils Bind Rhinovirus and Activate Virus-Specific T Cells (1998)

Episodes of virus-induced exacerbations of asthma are accompanied by increased eosinophils (EOS) in respiratory secretions and evidence of EOS degranulation. Although rhinoviruses (RV) are the viruses most often implicated in exacerbations of asthma in both children and adults, little is known about the immune response to this group of viruses and, in particular, EOS-RV interactions. To define such interactions, we incubated human rhinovirus type 16 (RV16), a serotype using ICAM-1 as a receptor, with EOS purified from PBMC, and measured EOS-RV binding, EOS-mediated Ag presentation and T cell activation, and EOS cell surface marker expression and superoxide production. Significant RV16 binding occurred to EOS that were pretreated with granulocyte-macrophage CSF, and this binding was inhibited by anti-ICAM-1 mAb. EOS also presented viral Ags to RV16-specific T cells, causing T cell proliferation and secretion of IFN-gamma. RV16 induced a significant shift from CD18dim to CD18bright, but did not affect EOS expression of CD54, CD69, or HLA-DR. Finally, RV16 did not induce superoxide production from peripheral blood EOS. These findings suggest that RV16 also binds to airway EOS, which resemble granulocyte-macrophage CSF-treated blood EOS in terms of high expression of ICAM-1. Furthermore, our findings suggest that EOS could participate in RV-induced immune responses through Ag presentation and T cell activation. By activating RV-specific T cells, EOS may play an important role in the initiation of antiviral T cell responses, and these effects could also contribute to enhanced airway inflammation and increased asthma symptoms in susceptible individuals.

Analysis, generation and semantic representation in CONTRAST—a context‐based machine translation system (1995)

Abstract This paper describes both a Japanese language analysis system and an English language generation system. The knowledge utilized by these systems has been incorporated into a context‐based machine translation system (CONTRAST) developed by the Electrotechnical Laboratory (ETL). The Japanese language analysis component of the CONTRAST system consists of individual modules to analyze syntax, semantics and context. The syntactic analysis module is a completely parallel parsing system based on Earley's algorithm. The semantic analysis module conducts analysis based on case relations. The contextual analysis module creates an intermediate representation that correspond to original text. It does this by placing events included in the semantic analysis results for each individual sentence within a framework that is read out from the general knowledge described as a process model in the concept dictionary. The English text generation system of CONTRAST begins with this intermediate representation. Then, referring to the concept dictionary (common with the analysis module), it creates English text according to generation rules created from the real life text data dependent knowledge relating to English newspaper articles. The format of the concept dictionary, which consists of descriptions of general knowledge, and the format of the intermediate representation, which is a description of the contextual information contained in each body of text, are the same. The outline of the conceptual system employed and studies on the process of creating this system are also discussed.
FLEX programmable logic: largest density PLD (2002)

The Flexible Logic Element Matrix (FLEX) programmable logic family provides densities up to 24000 usable gates, making it the ideal logic alternative for nearly 50% of all gate-array design starts. FLEX programmable logic provides the functionality and ease-of-use that are critical for fast and successful logic integration. Combined with the MAX+PLUS II development system, It revolutionizes the process of designing with register-rich programmable logic. MAX+PLUS II provides a comprehensive, easy-to-use logic development system that complements the flexibility and functionality of the FLEX architecture. It is concluded that, with design cycles measured in hours rather than days or weeks, FLEX devices provide the time-to-market advantage to create successful system products in the 1990s and beyond.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Two Mechanisms for the Non-MHC-Linked Resistance to Spontaneous Autoimmunity (1999)

Genetic susceptibility and resistance to most autoimmune disorders are associated with highly polymorphic genes of the MHC and with non-MHC-linked polygenic modifiers. It is known that non-MHC-linked polymorphisms can override or enhance the susceptibility to an autoimmune disease provided by pathogenic MHC genes, but the mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we have followed the fate of two highly diabetogenic beta cell-specific T cell receptors (Kd and I-Ag7 restricted, respectively) in NOR/Lt mice, which are resistant to autoimmune diabetes despite expressing two copies of the diabetogenic MHC haplotype H-2g7. We show that at least two mechanisms of non-MHC-linked control of pathogenic T cells operate in these mice. One segregates as a recessive trait and is associated with a reduction in the peripheral frequency of diabetogenic CD8+ (but not CD4+) T cells. The other segregates as a dominant trait and is mediated by IL-4- and TGF-beta1-independent immune suppressive functions provided by lymphocytes that target diabetogenic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, without causing their deletion, anergy, immune deviation, or ignorance. These results provide explanations as to how non-MHC-linked polymorphisms can override the susceptibility to an autoimmune disease provided by pathogenic MHC haplotypes, and demonstrate that protective non-MHC-linked genes may selectively target specific lymphoid cell types in cellularly complex autoimmune responses.
A distributed and privatized framework for drug-target interaction prediction (2016)

Drug-Target interaction prediction has significantly sped up the process of drug discovery. However, existing studies focused on a centralized analytic framework, which may have many limitations when applying on the modern distributed data environments. In this paper, we present a distributed and privatized framework for drug-target interaction prediction, which assumes distributed repositories are stored on and analyzed by local computers which could exchange privatized information for improving their own prediction performance. Under this framework, we propose a `conquer-and-divide' style prediction approach based on the recently introduced matrix factorization technique, and demonstrated its effectiveness on real-world cheminformatics data sets.

Polyfluorination Using IF<sub>5</sub> (2010)

The polyfluorination of α-(arylthio)carbonyl compounds was achieved by a successive application of polyfluorination using IF(5), Friedel-Crafts arylation, and desulfurizing fluorination using IF(5). Three to six fluorine atoms were selectively introduced to the carbons located between the aromatic ring and the carbonyl group.
The effect of silicon doping in the selected barrier on the electroluminescence of InGaN∕GaN multiquantum well light emitting diode (2007)

The effect of silicon doping in the selected barrier on the electroluminescence of InGaN∕GaN multiquantum well light emitting diode (LED) was studied using dual wavelength LEDs. The result verified that the hole carrier transport is easily blocked by the silicon doped barrier, and the dominant electron and hole recombination occurs at the wells between p-GaN and the silicon doped barrier. The electroluminescence spectrum and the wavelength blueshift of the silicon doped LEDs were compared with undoped LEDs. The numerical simulation was done to clearly explain the hole blocking effect by the silicon doped barrier.
Bovine Staphylococcus aureus Secretes the Leukocidin LukMF′ To Kill Migrating Neutrophils through CCR1 (2015)

This study explains the mechanism of action of LukMF', a bicomponent toxin found in bovine lineages of S. aureus that is associated with mastitis in cattle. At a molecular level, we describe how LukMF' can specifically kill bovine neutrophils. Here, we demonstrate the contribution of toxins in the determination of host specificity and contribute to the understanding of mechanisms of coevolution of pathogen and host. Our study provides new targets that can be used in therapeutic and vaccine approaches to treat staphylococcal diseases in the cow. We also demonstrate the importance of toxins in specific elimination of immune cells, which has broader implications, especially in human infections.
Stable two‐element control of <i>dTph1</i> transposition in mutator strains of <i>Petunia</i> by an inactive <i>ACT1</i> introgression from a wild species (2005)

The high copy dTph1 transposon system of Petunia (Solanaceae) is one of the most powerful insertion mutagens in plants, but its activity cannot be controlled in the commonly used mutator strains. We analysed the regulation of dTph1 activity by QTL analysis in recombinant inbred lines of the mutator strain W138 and a wild species (P. integrifolia spp. inflata). Two genetic factors were identified that control dTph1 transposition. One corresponded to the ACT1 locus on chromosome I. A second, previously undescribed locus ACT2 mapped on chromosome V. As a 6-cM introgression in W138, the P. i. inflata act1(S6) allele behaved as a single recessive locus that fully eliminated transposition of all dTph1 elements in all stages of plant development and in a heritable fashion. Weak dTph1 activity was restored in act1S6/ACT2S6 double introgression lines, indicating that the P. i. inflata allele at ACT2 conferred a low level of transposition. Thus, the act1S6 allele is useful for simple and predictable control of transposition of the entire dTph1 family when introgressed into an ultra-high copy W138 mutator strain. We demonstrate the use of the ACT1W138/act1S6 allele pair in a two-element dTph1 transposition system by producing 10,000 unique and fixed dTph1 insertions in a population of 1250 co-isogenic lines. This Petunia system produces the highest per plant insertion number of any known two-element system, providing a powerful and logistically simple tool for transposon mutagenesis of qualitative as well as quantitative traits.
Zirconium-based coupling agents and adhesion promoters (1992)

The use of zirconium compounds as coupling agents is reviewed, with particular emphasis on their use in flexographic and gravure inks. The modes of action favoured by zirconium compounds are, firstly, reaction with carboxyl groups and, secondly, reaction with hydroxyl groups. Usage of zirconium compounds is increasing in application areas such as inks, adhesives, and paints.
Swelling and gelatinization of cereal starches. IV. Some effects of lipid-complexed amylose and free amylose in waxy and normal barley starches (1993)

Cereal Chem. 70:385-391. Amylose (AM) and lysophospholipid (LPL) contents were directly correlated in barley starches, but the linear regressions that described the relationships in waxy and nonwaxy starches were quite different. The data indicated that AM exists partially as lipid-complexed amylose (L.AM), with an LPL-to-L.AM ratio of 1:7 and partially as lipid-free amylose (F.AM). The [13]C-cross polarization/magic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance (CP/MAS-NMR) spectra of the nonwaxy starches had a broad resonance with a chemical shift of 31.2 +/- 0.4 ppm, which is characteristic of midchain methylene carbons of fatty acids in the solid state or in V-amylose (V-AM) complexes. The extracted lipid was a viscous liquid that, when mixed with seven parts AM, did not give a discernible peak under the conditions used to acquire the solid- state spectra. However, when the lipid was complexed with AM, it gave a typical V-AM spectrum and a broad resonance at 31.8 ppm. This proves lipid complexed with L.AM existed in the native starches and was not an artifact formed subsequently from free LPL and F.AM. The intensity of the resonance was consistent with the LPL content of the starches. Independent supporting evidence was obtained by differential scanning calorimetry that showed a constant enthalpy for disordering of amylopectin, DeltaH(AP), for all waxy and nonwaxy starches, regardless of L.AM content and, hence, no exothermic formation of L.AM during starch gelatinization. Twelve waxy barley starches used in this study contained 0.8-4.0% L.AM and 0.9-6.4% F.AM; six nonwaxy starches contained 6.1-7.2% L.AM and 23.1-25.0% F.AM. All starches had essentially identical AP structures, as show by the chain lengths of debranched starches fractionated by gel-permeation chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. L.AM and F.AM appeared to have quite different effects on starch gelatinization behavior. Peak gelatinization temperature (Tp) of the waxy starches was p ositively correlated with L.AM content; because the Tp of the nonwaxy starches was much lower than predicted from the regression equation for the waxy starches, we concluded that F.AM lowered Tp. Swelling of starches at 80 C is essentially a property of AP content that is inhibited by LPL, but the relationship is not strictly linear. An improved equation to describe swelling properties assumed that 80% of the F.AM swelled with the AP fraction, although swelling was inhibited by L.AM0.485.
