Temporal Analysis of Semantic Graphs Using ASALSAN (2007)

ASALSAN is a new algorithm for computing three-way DEDICOM, which is a linear algebra model for analyzing intrinsically asymmetric relationships, such as trade among nations or the exchange of emails among individuals, that incorporates a third mode of the data, such as time. ASALSAN is unique because it enables computing the three-way DEDICOM model on large, sparse data. A nonnegative version of ASALSAN is described as well. When we apply these techniques to adjacency arrays arising from directed graphs with edges labeled by time, we obtain a smaller graph on latent semantic dimensions and gain additional information about their changing relationships over time. We demonstrate these techniques on international trade data and the Enron email corpus to uncover latent components and their transient behavior. The mixture of roles assigned to individuals by ASALSAN showed strong correspondence with known job classifications and revealed the patterns of communication between these roles. Changes in the communication pattern over time, e.g., between top executives and the legal department, were also apparent in the solutions.
Acute microcirculatory changes after scalding of the rat paw (1997)

A scalding model in the anaesthetized rat was used to measure acute circulatory reactions after heat exposure. Local blood flow of both hindpaws was recorded simultaneously and continuously by laser Doppler flowmetry before, during and for 2 hours following scalding. The scalding injury was inflicted by dipping the right hindpaw into hot water at 60 degrees C for 20 s. Concomitantly, the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was displayed on a chart recorder. MAP was obtained by cannulation of the common carotid artery. Oedema formation was calculated by measuring the volume changes of the hindpaws in a plethysmometer before and 30, 60 and 120 min after scalding. Scalding was followed by a biphasic increase of cutaneous circulation. During the first minute after heat provocation, an immediate increase in blood perfusion of about 400% was recorded, followed by a slow decrease of circulation. At 30 min after scalding, there was a secondary phase of increased microcirculation of approximately 230%. A slow decline of cutaneous circulation then followed, and after about 60 min the value was stabilized at approximately 100% above pre-burn level throughout the observation time. Almost no change of perfusion was observed on the contralateral unscalded paw. The scalding injury was followed by a progressive oedema formation on the scalded paw, measured by a volume increase of approximately 72% during the observation period, whereas the non-scalded paw showed no change. MAP remained at a stable level throughout the experiment except for a short-lasting transient increase of approximately 10% at the same time as the first peak of blood perfusion. We could thus confirm that scalding in the present model is accompanied by an immediate and marked increase in the peripheral circulation of the scalded paw followed by a later propagation of oedema, and that these inflammatory changes do not appear to be related to central haemodynamic alterations.
Effect of Some Operating Variables on the Characteristics of Electrodeposited Cu–Ni Alloys with and without α-Al2O3 and TiO2 Inert Particles (1996)

A study was carried out on the electrodeposition of CuNi alloys containing inert (α-Al2O3 and TiO2) particles from a selected citrate bath. The cathodic polarization curves show that alloy deposition occurs at more noble potentials relative to either of the two parent metals and this indicated the formation of a solid solution. The addition of the inert particles into the selected bath led to a polarization-increasing effect and this increased with increases in the size and concentration of the particles in the bath. An explanation of the mechanism of codeposition of the inert particles with the alloy has been presented. On controlling the bath composition, CuNi alloys containing 11–40% of nickel could be deposited. The effect of the operating variables such as the concentration of the metal ions in the bath, pH and current density on the alloy composition indicated that the formation of the CuNi alloy belongs to the regular alloy deposition system. The current efficiency of the alloy deposition is relatively lower than for either of the two parent metals, from similar baths, and ranges between 76 and 84%. The microhardness of the deposited CuNi alloy improved from 170 to 248 kfg mm−2 as a result of codeposition of 1–2% of the inert particles. A direct correlation between the surface morphology of the deposited CuNi alloy, as revealed by SEM, and its microhardness could be detected. X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the dispersion of the α-Al2O3 and TiO2 phases in the CuNi alloy phase.
Aldose Reductase Inhibition Counteracts Oxidative-Nitrosative Stress and Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Activation in Tissue Sites for Diabetes Complications (2005)

This study evaluated the effects of aldose reductase inhibition on diabetes-induced oxidative-nitrosative stress and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation. In animal experiments, control and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with or without the aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) fidarestat (16 mg . kg(-1) . day(-1)) for 6 weeks starting from induction of diabetes. Sorbitol pathway intermediate, but not glucose, accumulation in sciatic nerve and retina was completely prevented in diabetic rats treated with fidarestat. Sciatic motor nerve conduction velocity, hindlimb digital sensory nerve conduction velocity, and sciatic nerve concentrations of two major nonenzymatic antioxidants, glutathione and ascorbate, were reduced in diabetic versus control rats, and these changes were prevented in diabetic rats treated with fidarestat. Fidarestat prevented the diabetes-induced increase in nitrotyrosine (a marker of peroxynitrite-induced injury) and poly(ADP-ribose) immunoreactivities in sciatic nerve and retina. Fidarestat counteracted increased superoxide formation in aorta and epineurial vessels and in in vitro studies using hyperglycemia-exposed endothelial cells, and the DCF test/flow cytometry confirmed the endothelial origin of this phenomenon. Fidarestat did not cause direct inhibition of PARP activity in a cell-free system containing PARP and NAD(+) but did counteract high-glucose-induced PARP activation in Schwann cells. In conclusion, aldose reductase inhibition counteracts diabetes-induced nitrosative stress and PARP activation in sciatic nerve and retina. These findings reveal the new beneficial properties of fidarestat, thus further justifying the ongoing clinical trials of this specific, potent, and low-toxic ARI.
Characteristics of Acid‐Treated Alum Sludges (1979)

In the first of three articles on alum recovery by liquid ion exchange, the characteristics of acidified sludge are evaluated as they pertain to the recovery of alum from water treatment plant sludges. From data collected by a survey of alum users, five sludges from raw water of varying qualities were selected for laboratory analysis. Results showed that the percentage of recoverable aluminum ranged from 65 to 99 percent for the plants surveyed.
Stormwater treatment at critical areas: The multi-chambered treatment train (MCTT). Final report (1999)

Past studies have identified urban runoff as a major contributor to the degradation of many urban streams and rivers. The objective of this research was to characterize typical toxicant concentrations in stormwater, and investigate the effectiveness of treatment processes to control the toxicants. A prototype treatment device (the multi-chambered treatment train, or MCTT) was tested during the final phase of this project. The MCTT is an underground device that has three main chambers: an initial grit chamber for trapping of the largest sediment and release of most volatile materials; a main setting chamber (providing initial aeration and sorbent pillows) for the trapping of fine sediment and associated toxicants and floating hydrocarbons; and a sand and peat mixed media filter (sorption-ion exchange) unit for the monitoring period. During monitoring of 13 storms at a parking facility, the pilot-scale MCTT was found to have the following overall median reduction rates: 96% for total toxicity, 98% for filtered toxicity, 83% for SS, 60% for COD, 40% for turbidity, 100% for lead, 91% for zinc, 100% for n-Nitro-di-n-proplamine, 100% for pyrene, and 99% for bis (2-ethyl-hexyl) phthalate. the color was increased by about 50% due to staining from the peat and the pH decreasedmore » by about one-half pH unit, also from the peat media. Ammonia nitrogen was increased by several times, and nitrate nitrogen had low reductions (about 14%).« less

The industrial production of cyclodextrins. Part 2. Concentration of the conversion mixture solution by using reverse osmosis membrane. (1985)

Bacillus maceransのCGT-aseによるCD生成反応は基質濃度が低いほど, 効率よくCDを生成することを報告したが, 濃度5°Bx程度のCGT-ase反応生成液を濃縮するには, 効用缶等の加熱濃縮法は技術的にも経済的にも適用できない. そこで逆浸透膜によるCGT-ase反応生成液の濃縮法を検討した.著者らは高分子系複合膜の平膜を用いて基本的な濃縮実験を行ったのち, 同膜のスパイラル型モジュールで濃縮実験を行った. その結果, 食塩除去率50%の同膜は40℃において5°BxのCGT-ase反応生成液を40°Bxにまで濃縮するのに十分な濃縮性能を有しており, 一般に食品や農産物濃縮に使用されている酢酸セルロース製チューブラー型膜より透過流束が2倍以上優れていることが判明した. 膜細孔の目詰りと微生物汚染に対する十分な手段を講ずれば, CGT-ase反応生成液の工業的濃縮に使用可能である.

Self-organization and Optimization of Priority-based Communication Buses (2013)

With the increasing complexity in distributed embedded systems, the communication between the nodes becomes an essential part.A popular approach is to connect components by using priority-based communication buses.Due to cost and physical constraints, however, the amount of communication is limited.This thesis pushes the limitations of priority-based communication buses by two methods: Access control and data rate increase.The access control targets two weaknesses of priority-based communication buses.First, it does not allow a fair distribution of bandwidth for equally important message streams.Second, the response time for messages with low priority increases with high bus utilization.Based on a game-theoretic model, a reinforcement learning algorithm is proposed that uses simple local rules to establish fair bandwidth sharing.Furthermore, a dynamic oset adaptation algorithm for scheduling messages is introduced that may reduce the average response times.This in turn allows to increase the utilization while maintaining the same response times.Both algorithms are executed fully distributed during run-time, require little computational eort and no additional communication.An increase of data rate on protocol level is proposed by extending the Controller Area Network (CAN).By sending additional data in those time slots where CAN-conform nodes do not listen, devices not dedicated to these boosted data rates can still be used.Prototype implementations of all introduced methods demonstrate the feasibility and gains in exibility, response times and data rate on a real physical setup.iii supervision.I also would like to thank Zoran Salcic for his experienced advice, fruitful discussions and motivation.
Suppression of Interferon and Antibody and Multiplication of Newcastle Disease Virus in Gytomegalovirus Infected Mice. (1967)

MCMV inhibition of interferon response in mice was found to be specific for virus-induced interferon; endo toxin evoked a normal interferon response. NDV multiplied in the spleens of MCMV-infected mice during the first 72 hours after intravenous inoculation, a period when interferon response was suppressed. In these animals, in addition to the inhibition of interferon response, there was significant impairment of clearance and a suppression of NDV neutralizing antibody production. The relative role each plays in the multiplication of NDV in MCMV-infected mice remains undefined. Extensive MCMV replication in the spleen and significant pathologic alteration of it indicate that that organ is central to these effects. Despite these alterations of host response, NDV infection spontaneously terminated at 96 hours. At a stage during MCMV infection when interferon synthesis was suppressed, NDV multiplication was partially inhibited by administering exogenous interferon.
Java as Distributed Object Glue 1 (2000)

An important aspect of research on software objects, components, and component-based applications concerns their interoperation. When there is a need for two or more software components, based on different technologies, to interoperate the mission target is to make the components hide the fact that the other components are functioning under a different technology without changing their characteristics and behavior. In this paper we describe basic strategies for bridging the gap between the three basic middleware remoting technologies (CORBA, DCOM, and RMI) and present our approach for a Java-based Object Mediator architecture.
Cancer, Physical Activity, and Exercise (2012)

This review examines the relationship between physical activity and cancer along the cancer continuum, and serves as a synthesis of systematic and meta-analytic reviews conducted to date. There exists a large body of epidemiologic evidence that conclude those who participate in higher levels of physical activity have a reduced likelihood of developing a variety of cancers compared to those who engage in lower levels of physical activity. Despite this observational evidence, the causal pathway underlying the association between participation in physical activity and cancer risk reduction remains unclear. Physical activity is also a useful adjunct to improve the deleterious sequelae experienced during cancer treatment. These deleterious sequelae may include fatigue, muscular weakness, deteriorated functional capacity, and many others. The benefits of physical activity during cancer treatment are similar to those experienced after treatment. Despite the growing volume of literature examining physical activity and cancer across the cancer continuum, a number of research gaps exist. There is little evidence on the safety of physical activity among all cancer survivors, as most trials have selectively recruited participants. The specific dose of exercise needed to optimize primary cancer prevention or symptom control during and after cancer treatment remains to be elucidated.
Analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue conversion with memristive devices (2012)

A novel methodology is suggested to obtain a digital representation of analogue signals and to perform its back-conversion using memristive devices. In the proposed converters, the same memristive systems are used for two purposes: as elements performing conversion and elements storing the code. This approach to conversion is particularly relevant for interfacing analogue signals with memristive digital logic/computing circuits.
Effects of Butyrate on Cell Cycle Progression and Polyploidization of Various Types of Mammalian Cells (1992)

We studied the effect of butyrate on cell cycle progression and polyploidization in three fibroblast (rat 3Y1, human IMR-90, and human embryo lung HEL) and two epithelial (human embryo kidney HEK and monkey kidney BSC-1) cells. In these cells, except for 3Y1, G1 arrest with butyrate was incomplete, and the production of tetraploid cells was detectable in the presence of butyrate. G2 arrest with butyrate was also incomplete in HEL and BSC-1 cells, and the number of HEL cells increased in the presence of butyrate. On the contrary, most BSC-1 cells that divided in the presence of butyrate were unstable and the number of attached cells decreased. These results indicate that the effect of butyrate on cell cycle progression varies with the cell type and that polyploidization can be induced by a single treatment with butyrate.
Octamerization Enables Soluble CD46 Receptor To Neutralize Measles Virus In Vitro and In Vivo (2000)

A chimeric fusion protein encompassing the CD46 ectodomain linked to the C-terminal part of the C4b binding protein (C4bp) α chain (sCD46-C4bpα) was produced in eukaryotic cells. This protein, secreted as a disulfide-linked homo-octamer, was recognized by a panel of anti-CD46 antibodies with varying avidities. Unlike monomeric sCD46, the octameric sCD46-C4bpα protein was devoid of complement regulatory activity. However, sCD46-C4bpα was able to bind to the measles virus hemagglutinin protein expressed on murine cells with a higher avidity than soluble monomeric sCD46. Moreover, the octameric sCD46-C4bpα protein was significantly more efficient than monomeric sCD46 in inhibiting virus binding to CD46, in blocking virus induced cell-cell fusion, and in neutralizing measles virus in vitro. In addition, the octameric sCD46-C4bpα protein, but not the monomeric sCD46, fully protected CD46 transgenic mice against a lethal intracranial measles virus challenge.

Unexpected Disproportionation of Tetramethylethylenediamine-Supported Perchlorodisilane Cl<sub>3</sub>SiSiCl<sub>3</sub> (2012)

The addition compound Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA was formed quantitatively by treatment of Cl3SiSiCl3 with tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in pentane at room temperature. The crystal structure of Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA displays one tetrahedrally and one octahedrally bonded Si atom (monoclinic, P21/n). 29Si CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy confirms this structure. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have shown that the structure of the meridional isomer of Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA is 6.3 kcal lower in energy than that of facial coordinate species. Dissolving of Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA in CH2Cl2 resulted in an immediate reaction by which oligochlorosilanes SinCl2n (n = 4, 6, 8, 10; precipitate) and the Cl–-complexed dianions [SinCl2n+2]2– (n = 6, 8, 10, 12; CH2Cl2 extract) were formed. The constitutions of these compounds were confirmed by MALDI mass spectrometry. Additionally, single crystals of [Me3NCH2CH2NMe2]2[Si6Cl14] and [Me3NCH2CH2NMe2]2[Si8Cl18] were obtained from the CH2Cl2 extract. We found that Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA reacts with MeCl, forming MeSiCl3 and the products that had been formed in the reaction of Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA with CH2Cl2. X-ray structure analysis indicates that the structures of [Me3NCH2CH2NMe2]2[Si6Cl14] (monoclinic, P21/n) and [Me3NCH2CH2NMe2]2[Si8Cl18] (monoclinic, P21/n) contain dianions adopting an “inverse sandwich” structure with inverse polarity and [Me3NCH2CH2NMe2]+ as countercations. Single crystals of SiCl4·TMEDA (monoclinic, Cc) could be isolated by thermolysis reaction of Cl3SiSiCl3·TMEDA (50 °C) in tetrahydrofuran (THF).
