NKCC1 and NHE1 are abundantly expressed in the basolateral plasma membrane of secretory coil cells in rat, mouse, and human sweat glands (2005)

In isolated sweat glands, bumetanide inhibits sweat secretion. The mRNA encoding bumetanide-sensitive Na(+)-K(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC) isoform 1 (NKCC1) has been detected in sweat glands; however, the cellular and subcellular protein localization is unknown. Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE) isoform 1 (NHE1) protein has been localized to both the duct and secretory coil of human sweat duct; however, the NHE1 abundance in the duct was not compared with that in the secretory coil. The aim of this study was to test whether mRNA encoding NKCC1, NKCC2, and Na(+)-coupled acid-base transporters and the corresponding proteins are expressed in rodent sweat glands and, if expressed, to determine the cellular and subcellular localization in rat, mouse, and human eccrine sweat glands. NKCC1 mRNA was demonstrated in rat palmar tissue, including sweat glands, using RT-PCR, whereas NKCC2 mRNA was absent. Also, NHE1 mRNA was demonstrated in rat palmar tissue, whereas NHE2, NHE3, NHE4, electrogenic Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter 1 NBCe1, NBCe2, electroneutral Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter NBCn1, and Na(+)-dependent Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger NCBE mRNA were not detected. The expression of NKCC1 and NHE1 proteins was confirmed in rat palmar skin by immunoblotting, whereas NKCC2, NHE2, and NHE3 proteins were not detected. Immunohistochemistry was performed using sections from rat, mouse, and human palmar tissue. Immunoperoxidase labeling revealed abundant expression of NKCC1 and NHE1 in the basolateral domain of secretory coils of rat, mouse, and human sweat glands and low expression was found in the coiled part of the ducts. In contrast, NKCC1 and NHE1 labeling was absent from rat, mouse, and human epidermis. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated abundant NKCC1 and NHE1 labeling of the basolateral plasma membrane of mouse sweat glands, with no labeling of the apical plasma membranes or intracellular structures. The basolateral NKCC1 of the secretory coils of sweat glands would most likely account for the observed bumetanide-sensitive NaCl secretion in the secretory coils, and the basolateral NHE1 is likely to be involved in Na(+)-coupled acid-base transport.
Flow regime transition criteria consistent with two-fluid model for vertical two-phase flow. [PWR] (1983)

Traditional flow-regime criteria based on the gas and liquid superficial velocities may not be suitable to the analyses of rapid transient or entrance flows by the two-fluid model. Under these conditions, direct geometrical parameters such as the void fraction should be used in flow-regime criteria. From this point of view, new flow-regime criteria for upward gas-liquid flow in vertical tubes have been developed. These new criteria can be compared to existing criteria and experimental data under steady-state and fully developed flow conditions by using relative velocity correlations. The criteria showed reasonable agreements with the existing data for atmospheric air-water flows. Further comparisons with data for steam-water in round tubes and a rectangular channel at relatively high system pressures have been made. The results confirmed that the present flow regime transition criteria could be applied over wide ranges of parameters as well as to boiling flow.
Ribonuclease Activity of Dis3 Is Required for Mitotic Progression and Provides a Possible Link between Heterochromatin and Kinetochore Function (2007)

RNase activity of Dis3, a core subunit of exosome, was found to be required for proper kinetochore formation and establishment of kinetochore-microtubule interactions. Moreover, Dis3 was suggested to contribute to kinetochore formation through an involvement in heterochromatic silencing at both outer centromeric repeats and within the central core region. This activity is likely monitored by the mitotic checkpoint, and distinct from that of RNAi-mediated heterochromatin formation directly targeting outer centromeric repeats.
Controlled capture and release of cardiac fibroblasts using peptide-functionalized alginate gels in microfluidic channels (2009)

The utilization of peptide-functionalized hydrogels in combination with a divalent chelator offers an effective methodology for capture and release of cells within microfluidic channels.
Allergen-Independent Maternal Transmission of Asthma Susceptibility (2003)

Maternal asthma is a risk factor for development of asthma in children, but mechanisms remain unclear. Offspring of asthmatic mother mice (sensitized and repeatedly exposed to OVA Ag) showed airway hyperresponsiveness and allergic pulmonary inflammation after an intentionally suboptimal OVA sensitization and exposure protocol that had little effect on normal offspring. Similar results were obtained when offspring of OVA-allergic mothers were exposed to an unrelated allergen, casein, indicating that the maternal effect is allergen independent and not transferred by OVA-specific Abs. Premating treatment with neutralizing anti-IL-4 Ab or reduction of maternal allergen exposure abrogated the maternal effect, showing a critical mechanistic role for IL-4 and suggesting an additional benefit of allergen avoidance.
A 3D navigational environment for specifying positron emission tomography volumes-of-interest (2002)

Volume of interest extraction for radionuclide and anatomical measurements requires correct identification of the anatomical feature being studied. We have developed a toolset for specifying 3D volumes-of-interest (VOIs) on a multislice Positron Emission Tomography (PET) dataset. The software is particularly suited for specifying cerebral cortex VOIs that represent a particular gyrus or mid-brain structure. A registered 3D magnetic resonance image (MRI) dataset is used to provide high-resolution anatomical information, both as oblique 2D sections and as volume renderings of a segmented cortical surface. Because most clinicians can readily identify specific sulci from high-quality renderings of the cortical surface, a crucial step in quickly identifying sulci in 2D sectional data is providing a feedback mechanism between the renderings and the section data. Our toolkit provides this mechanism by calculating a full depth map and transformation matrix for volume renderings of the cortex. A region drawing environment is then possible where the position of a main drawing cursor on a 2D section can be simultaneously mirrored on the rendered views. The feedback is further enhanced by displaying the projection of the main cursor position on any number of auxiliary 2D sections oriented at orthogonal slicing angles with respect to the principal 2D section. Complete VOIs are specified by drawing a stack of 2D contours subsequently filed together to form closed triangular mesh surface models.
A novel QoS scheme for handoffs in wireless IP networks (2002)

Next generation Internet will have wireless access to the network. Fast technology development assures that Internet in the future will include many mobile portable devices moving in a micro-cellular network. We are defining a novel scheme for improving handoff performances in wireless IP networks by using handoff agents (HAg) established at base stations and cross-over nodes of the network. Handoff agents are rerouting the packets during the handoff from the old towards the new base station via core links. This algorithm gives better performances on different traffic flows compared to other handoff schemes. It performs smooth handoff without duplicate packets and gives zero handoff packet losses, adding negligible packet delay during the handoff. Also, the algorithm does not load the Internet with the control traffic by performing handoffs within the current user domain.

Advanced self-alignment process technique with very thick sidewall for high speed GaAs LSIs (2003)

The authors describe the performance of 0.5- mu m-gate GaAs MESFETs with the two-step n/sup +/ structure, which consists of shallowly doped n/sup +/ and deeply doped n/sup ++/ regions. To realize such a structure, a very-thick-sidewall process was developed. The maximum transconductance was as high as 420 mS/mm, and the standard deviation of the threshold voltage was as low as 26.4 mV over a 3-in wafer. The minimum propagation delay time of a directly-coupled FET-logic inverter IC implemented with this technology was 11.0 ps/gate at a power dissipation of 25.2 mW/gate. A 1/8 static frequency divider operated at a frequency of up to 16 GHz, and a D-type flip-flop recorded at a data rate of 10 Gb/s. >
Interactions between Sound Waves (1962)

Exact solutions for the interaction between two concentric cylindrical waves and between two concentric spherical waves are presented. The scattered-pressure amplitude in the far field is shown to be constant in the cylindrical case and to be proportional to r−1 lnr in the spherical case, where r is the distance to the source of primary waves. A near-field solution is derived for the scattered waves generated when two sharply defined, plane-wave beams of square cross section intersect at right angles. A comparison is made of the theory with recent experiments in which beams of circular cross section were used. It is concluded that if the scattered waves do exist, their amplitudes are at least 40 dB below those that are predicted by this theory. When a hard object is placed in the region of intersection, scattered waves are observed. This effect can be explained by the fact that with the addition of the hard object (a cylinder) the primary waves have components of the same symmetry. These components are the waves scattered from the primary beams by the object. Evidence is presented to show that these components, having the same symmetry, interact strongly in the volume surrounding the object.
Software Defined Networking Enabled Wireless Network Virtualization: Challenges and Solutions (2017)

Next generation (5G) wireless networks are expected to support the massive data and accommodate a wide range of services/use cases with distinct requirements in a cost-effective, flexible, and agile manner. As a promising solution, wireless network virtualization (WNV), or network slicing, enables multiple virtual networks to share the common infrastructure on demand, and to be customized for different services/use cases. This article focuses on network-wide resource allocation for realizing WNV. Specifically, the motivations, the enabling platforms, and the benefits of WNV, are first reviewed. Then, resource allocation for WNV along with the technical challenges is discussed. Afterwards, a software defined networking (SDN) enabled resource allocation framework is proposed to facilitate WNV, including the key procedures and the corresponding modeling approaches. Furthermore, a case study is provided as an example of resource allocation in WNV. Finally, some open research topics essential to WNV are discussed.

Real-time performance capture using multiple Kinects (2014)

There have been many cases applying recognized user movements in games as low-cost sensor such as Microsoft Kinect and Asus Xtion have appeared, but there is limitation in capturing user movements with one sensor. This paper uses multiple kinect sensors to propose a method to capture user performance. By solving calibration and synchronization problems between sensors and appropriately combining input data, stable performance capture is possible even in occlusion of body parts.
Expression of CD44 isoforms in renal cell tumors : positive correlation to tumor differentiation (1996)

CD44 isoforms have been implicated in tumor progression and embryogenesis. Primary renal cell tumors (n = 100) of various histopathological differentiation and grading stages were analyzed for expression of CD44 isoforms in comparison with nonmalignant adult and fetal renal tissues. Evaluations were performed by immunohistochemistry using CD44 isoform-specific monoclonal antibodies and by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR). In the nonmalignant kidney no CD44 variant isoforms were detected. There was a significant increase in expression of CD44 standard (CD44s) and several variant isoforms (CD44v) in the course of tumor differentiation in clear cell carcinomas (n = 68) from stages G1 to G3 (P > 0.0001 for CD44s and isoforms containing CD44-6v, and P > 0.007 for those containing CD44-9v). Also, in chromophilic cell carcinomas (n = 13), CD44 isoform expression correlated with grading; ie, no CD44 expression was detected in G1 tumors, whereas in approximately 50% of the G2 tumors, CD44s, CD44-6v, and CD44-9v isoforms were present. Oncocytomas (n = 8), which are benign renal cell tumors, did not express CD44 isoforms, whereas invasive chromophobe cell carcinomas (n = 11) were positive for CD44s and CD44v isoforms. Transcript analyses by RT-PCR revealed that the upregulated isoforms in the carcinoma cells contained exons 8 to 10 and 3, 8 to 10 in combination from the variant region. In conclusion, expression of variant CD44 isoforms was strongly correlated with grading and appears to mediate a more aggressive phenotype to renal cell tumors.

Theory and Applications of Dynamic Laser Speckles Due to In-plane Object Motion (1977)

Abstract The dynamic behaviour of laser speckle caused by uniform in-plane motion of a diffuse object has been studied by deriving the cross-correlation functions of the complex disturbance and the intensity in a field where the speckle is observed. The expressions for the diffraction and the image fields are calculated from general formulae for a linear coherent system. On the basis of these functions two characters in the dynamic behaviour of speckle, a bodily translation and a gradual change in structure, are discussed quantitatively. The velocity of the translation and the rate of the structure change have been derived. As applications of the relations obtained several new methods have been proposed for measuring pattern correlations, MTF of imaging systems, in-plane velocity of diffuse objects, and eye accommodation state.
Ewing’s sarcoma precursors are highly enriched in embryonic osteochondrogenic progenitors (2014)

Ewing's sarcoma is a highly malignant bone tumor found in children and adolescents, and the origin of this malignancy is not well understood. Here, we introduced a Ewing's sarcoma-associated genetic fusion of the genes encoding the RNA-binding protein EWS and the transcription factor ETS (EWS-ETS) into a fraction of cells enriched for osteochondrogenic progenitors derived from the embryonic superficial zone (eSZ) of long bones collected from late gestational murine embryos. EWS-ETS fusions efficiently induced Ewing's sarcoma-like small round cell sarcoma formation by these cells. Analysis of the eSZ revealed a fraction of a precursor cells that express growth/differentiation factor 5 (Gdf5), the transcription factor Erg, and parathyroid hormone-like hormone (Pthlh), and selection of the Pthlh-positive fraction alone further enhanced EWS-ETS-dependent tumor induction. Genes downstream of the EWS-ETS fusion protein were quite transcriptionally active in eSZ cells, especially in regions in which the chromatin structure of the ETS-responsive locus was open. Inhibition of β-catenin, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), or enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) suppressed cell growth in a murine model of Ewing's sarcoma, suggesting the utility of the current system as a preclinical model. These results indicate that eSZ cells are highly enriched in precursors to Ewing's sarcoma and provide clues to the histogenesis of Ewing's sarcoma in bone.
AOCMS: An Adaptive and Scalable Monitoring System for Large-Scale Clusters (2006)

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of AOCMS, an adaptive, scalable and efficient monitoring system for a large-scale cluster. We describe an adaptive architecture of AOCMS in detail, and focus on the discussion about some techniques as to enhancing the adaptation, scalability and efficiency of AOCMS. These techniques include: a solution to monitor a heterogeneous cluster; a universal applet-servlet communicating controller responsible for communication between the clients and the Web server; adaptive pools providing threads or connections to the database for the monitoring tasks on demand; and an AOP-based alarm decoupling the alarming logic from the monitoring logic. Moreover, we measured the performance of AOCMS. The results show that AOCMS runs with low overheads and responds to clients quickly
Electron Number Density Measurements in Ar and Ar-N<sub>2</sub> Inductively Coupled Plasmas (1982)

The emission spectrum of the series limit of Al was used to estimate the electron number densities ( n e ) in inductively coupled Ar or Ar-N 2 plasmas (ICP). The spectra of the series limit were recorded either with a silicon-intensified target vidicon detector or by a computer-controlled, scanning spectrometer. Background stripping was performed on the spectra recorded by both instruments to enhance signal recovery. Under comparable experimental conditions, the n e values in the Ar-supported ICP were higher than those observed in Ar-N 2 plasma, when pure N 2 was used in the outer flow. However, the n e value of the Ar ICP under the conditions commonly used in analytical laboratories (15 mm observation height and 1200 W forward power) was comparable to that found in pure N 2 outer flow, Ar-N 2 plasmas operated under conditions (5 mm observation height and 3000 W forward power) suitable for exciting spectral lines of high excitation energies. Whereas the use of higher, carrier gas flows tended to reduce the n e values of the Ar ICP substantially, this trend was not observed for the pure N 2 outer flow Ar-N 2 plasma.
Hypergraph lossless image compression (2005)

Hypergraphs are a very powerful tool and can represent many problems. In this paper we define a new image representation based on hypergraphs. This representation conducts to a new lossless compression algorithm for images called HLC. We present the algorithm and give some experimental results proving its efficiency. Finally we show that this algorithm can be generalized to three-dimensional images and to parametric lossy compression.
Outer membrane complex proteins of<i>Chlamydia pneumoniae</i> (1993)

The protein composition of the outer membrane complex (OMC) of Chlamydia pneumoniae strain AR-39 was analyzed by metabolic labeling with [35S]methionine and [35S]cysteine. Cysteine-rich proteins with molecular masses of 98, 60 doublet, 39.5 (MOMP) and 15.5 kDa were found in the OMC of C. pneumoniae. The cysteine-rich proteins of the OMCs of the three Chlamydia species showed specific reaction patterns by immunoassay and autoradiography to rabbit or turkey immune sera. Recognition of the MOMP and 60-kDa proteins of the three species was cross-reactive. However, the C. pneumoniae 98-kDa protein was recognized by anti-C. pneumoniae (AR-39) and anti-C. psittaci (TT3) immune sera. None of the immune sera recognized the 12-kDa cysteine-rich complex.
Flexural Strength of Macroporous Silicon Carbide Ceramics (2011)

Macroporous silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics were fabricated by powder processing and polymer processing using carbon-filled polysiloxane as a precursor. The effects of the starting SiC polytype, template type, and template content on porosity and flexural strength of macroporous SiC ceramics were investigated. The -SiC powder as a starting material or a filler led to higher porosity than -SiC powder, owing to the impingement of growing -SiC grains, which were transformed from -SiC during sintering. Typical flexural strength of powder-processed macroporous SiC ceramics fabricated from -SiC starting powder and polymer microbeads was 127 MPa at 29% porosity. In contrast, that of polymer-processed macroporous SiC ceramics fabricated from carbon-filled polysiloxane, -SiC fillers, and hollow microspheres was 116 MPa at 29% porosity. The combination of -SiC starting powder and a fairly large amount (10 wt%) of Al 2 O 3 -Y 2 O 3 additives led to macroporous SiC ceramics with excellent flexural strength.
Integral Images for Block Matching (2014)

The integral image representation is a remarkable idea that permits to evaluate the sum of image values over rectangular regions of the image with four operations, regardless of the size of the region. It was first proposed under the name of summed area table in the computer graphics community by Crow’84, in order to efficiently filter texture maps. It was later popularized in the computer vision community by Viola & Jones’04 with its use in their real-time object detection framework. In this article we describe the integral image algorithm and study its application in the context of block matching. We investigate tradeoffs and the limits of the performance gain with respect to exhaustive block matching.
