PIBE: Manage Your Images the Way You Want! (2007)

A customizable system for image browsing, named PIBE, is proposed. In details, PIBE provides the user with a set of browsing and personalization facilities that enable an effective and efficient exploration of the image collection. The approach is novel and appealing because: 1) the personalization actions over the hierarchical organization of images are local, 2) the storage of the browsing structure is persistent, and 3) the provided GUI makes browsing and personalization facilities extremely intuitive and "easy-to-use".

Alkaline Earth Metal and Lanthanide(III) Complexes of Ligands Based upon 1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-bis(acetic acid) (1997)

The macrocyclic ligand DO2A (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-bis(acetic acid)) was prepared and used as a building block for four new macrocyclic ligands having mixed side-chain chelating groups. These ligands and their complexes with Mg(II), Ca(II), and Ln(III) were studied extensively by potentiometry, high-resolution NMR, and water proton relaxivity measurements. The protonation constants of all compounds compared well with those of other cyclen-based macrocyclic ligands. All Ca(II) complexes were found to be more stable than the corresponding Mg(II) complexes. Trends for the stabilities of the Ln(III) complexes are discussed and compared with literature data, incorporating the effects of water coordination numbers, Ln(III) contraction, and the nature of the side chains and the steric hindrance between them. (1)H NMR titrations of DO2A revealed that the first and second protonations take place preferentially at the secondary ring nitrogens, while the third and fourth involved protonation of the acetates. (17)O NMR shifts showed that the DyDO2A(+) complex had two inner-sphere water molecules. Water proton spin-lattice relaxation rates for the GdDO2A(+) complex were also consistent with water exchange between bulk water and two inner-sphere Gd(III) coordination positions. Upon formation of the diamagnetic complexes of DO2A (Ca(II), Mg(II), La(III), and Lu(III)), all of the macrocyclic ring protons became nonequivalent due to slow conformational rearrangements, while the signals for the acetate CH(2) protons remained a singlet.
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Can Export Hyaluronan (2010)

CFTR transports hyaluronan across the plasma membrane of epithelial cells and this transport mechanism is defective in cystic fibrosis patients.
<title>Liquid-crystal optical properties and applications in the millimeter-wave range</title> (1992)

The refractive indices, and birefringence, of some common nematic liquid crystals are measured in the millimeter waves region mainly at 30 GHz. All liquid crystals measured had reasonably large birefringence in the range of 0.1 to 0.17. A proof of concept millimeter wave phase shifter was demonstrated based on magnetic field alignment of liquid crystal. Potential advantages of using liquid crystals in the millimeter wave range for device applications are discussed.
Complications and Perioperative Management of Patients Undergoing Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (2017)

Endovascular treatments have become increasingly common for patients with a variety of thoracic aortic pathologies. Although considered less invasive than traditional open surgical approaches, they are nonetheless complex procedures. Patients undergo manipulation of an often calcified aorta near the origin of the carotid and subclavian vessels and have stents placed in a curved vessel adjacent to a perpetually beating heart. These stents can obstruct blood flow to the spinal cord, induce an inflammatory response, and in rare cases erode into the adjacent trachea or esophagus. Renal complications range from contrast-induced nephropathy to hypotension and ischemia to dissection. Emboli can lead to strokes and mesenteric ischemia. These patients have complex medical histories, and skilled perioperative management is critical to achieving the best clinical outcomes. Here, we review the medical management of the most common complications in these patients including stroke, spinal cord ischemia, renal injury, retrograde dissections, aortoesophageal and aortobronchial fistulas, postimplantation syndrome, mesenteric ischemia, and endograft failure.
INTRODUCING AUDIO D-TOUCH: A TANGIBLE USER INTERFACE FOR MUSIC COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE (2003)

&quot;Audio d-touch &quot; uses a consumer-grade web camera and customizable block objects to provide an interactive tangible interface for a variety of time based musical tasks such as sequencing, drum editing and collaborative composition. Three instruments are presented here. Future applications of the interface are also considered. 1. BACKGROUND Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) are a recent field of research in human-computer interfaces. Physical objects are used for the control and representation of digital information [1, 2, 3]. Where in a Graphical User Interface (GUI), users interact with virtual objects represented on a screen through mice and keyboard, in a TUI the users physically place and move objects in the real space to achieve the same results. Generally each physical object represents a
Current trends in multimodal input recognition (1998)

In order to optimise the effectiveness of a personal virtual reality (VR) system, it is necessary to have a natural and efficient way of interacting with it. This can be achieved by incorporation of a direct multimodal user interface. To communicate with such an interface the user can perform speech input, hand gestures, facial expressions or body movements. The VR system therefore needs to have an appropriate pattern recognition module so that it can deal with the interpretation, classification and recognition of the different human actions, which are then translated into inputs. We look at the different pattern recognition techniques currently available in the area of speech recognition, facial gesture recognition, body tracking and hand gesture recognition (e.g. artificial neural networks, statistical tools and template matching). The implementation of these techniques in a multimodal user interface was investigated and the effectiveness of such user interface was compared with the now widely used Window Icon Mouse Pointer (WIMP) interface. This was done with the intent of developing a personal VR system user interface.
Deletion of the G Protein-Coupled Receptor 30 Impairs Glucose Tolerance, Reduces Bone Growth, Increases Blood Pressure, and Eliminates Estradiol-Stimulated Insulin Release in Female Mice (2008)

In vitro studies suggest that the G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 30 is a functional estrogen receptor. However, the physiological role of GPR30 in vivo is unknown, and it remains to be determined whether GPR30 is an estrogen receptor also in vivo. To this end, we studied the effects of disrupting the GPR30 gene in female and male mice. Female GPR30((-/-)) mice had hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance, reduced body growth, increased blood pressure, and reduced serum IGF-I levels. The reduced growth correlated with a proportional decrease in skeletal development. The elevated blood pressure was associated with an increased vascular resistance manifested as an increased media to lumen ratio of the resistance arteries. The hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance in vivo were associated with decreased insulin expression and release in vivo and in vitro in isolated pancreatic islets. GPR30 is expressed in islets, and GPR30 deletion abolished estradiol-stimulated insulin release both in vivo in ovariectomized adult mice and in vitro in isolated islets. Our findings show that GPR30 is important for several metabolic functions in female mice, including estradiol-stimulated insulin release.
Space charge accumulation in polymeric high voltage DC cable systems (2006)

One of the intrinsic properties of the polymeric high voltage (HV) direct current (DC) cable insulation is the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Accumulated charges distort the initial Laplacian distribution of the electric field, leading to a local field enhancement that may cause insulation degradation and premature breakdown of the system. The general objective of the present study is to obtain a better understanding of the major factors that control the space charge processes in polymeric HVDC cable systems. In order to achieve this goal, two main factors of influence have been investigated. 1) Cable accessories, i.e. cable joints and cable terminations, are considered to be the weakest part of a cable system, because of the presence of a dielectric interface between the cable insulation and that of the accessory. This thesis aims at a better knowledge of the polarization phenomena occurring at dielectric interfaces. To that purpose, an accurate methodology has been developed for the experimental study of the space charge behavior at the dielectric interface. The pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method for the measurement of space charge has been reviewed in case of dielectric interfaces. Secondly, space charge accumulation has been experimentally observed at the dielectric interfaces of different test specimens. 2) Across the insulation of HVDC cable systems a temperature drop is present when the cable carries a current. This thesis aims to provide a better understanding about the mechanisms responsible for space charge accumulation when a temperature drop is present across the insulation of the cable system. To that purpose, a physical model has been developed for the prediction of space charge dynamics and electric field in loaded HVDC cable systems. The physical model has been validated by means of laboratory investigation.
Driving assistance through pedal reaction force control with consideration of JND (2013)

In this study, a driving assistive system using an active force control for an accelerator pedal is proposed. First, using a driving simulator embedded with a haptic pedal mechanism, driver's just noticeable difference (JND) against the force perception on the pedal was investigated experimentally. Second, an algorithm of the conscious/unconscious assistive control is presented by utilizing the identified JND. Through verification experiment on the same simulator, the conscious assistive was successful with a probability of 83%. However, the unconscious assistive was failed with a probability of 79% and the drivers noticed the assist with a probability of 73%.
Polymer−Clay Nanocomposite Latex Particles by Inverse Pickering Emulsion Polymerization Stabilized with Hydrophobic Montmorillonite Platelets (2006)

We present the first surfactant-free inverse emulsion polymerization by using organically modified clay platelets as stabilizers. Colloidally stable inverse Pickering emulsions of aqueous acrylamide (AAm) or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in cyclohexane stabilized by hydrophobic Cloisite 20A (MMT20) were prepared. With both oil-soluble 2,2‘-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) and water-soluble 2,2‘-azobis[2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide] (VA-086) as initiators, inverse latexes in the size range of 700−980 nm were successfully obtained. It has been revealed by SEM and cryo-TEM that the latexes were stabilized by hydrophobic clays, as exemplified by the rugged surface of the particles. It was shown from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that all the clay platelets were incorporated into the composite particles, and in partially exfoliated state as indicated by X-ray diffraction study.
The Impact of Verbal Satiation on Adolescent Sex Offenders (1993)

Various treatment techniques have been implemented in the attempt to modify atypical sexual interests of adolescent sex offenders. The current exploratory study was designed to measure the effectiveness of verbal satisfaction, one component used in an outpatient, cognitive-behavioral treatment program. Data are presented on 15 adolescent sexual offenders against children. Results indicated that there was an overall decrease in deviant arousal after eight verbal satiation sessions as measured by penile plethysmography pre- and post-treatment. These preliminary findings are suggestive that verbal satisfaction can be effective in reducing deviant arousal for some adolescents.
TIGIT Marks Exhausted T Cells, Correlates with Disease Progression, and Serves as a Target for Immune Restoration in HIV and SIV Infection (2016)

HIV infection induces phenotypic and functional changes to CD8+ T cells defined by the coordinated upregulation of a series of negative checkpoint receptors that eventually result in T cell exhaustion and failure to control viral replication. We report that effector CD8+ T cells during HIV infection in blood and SIV infection in lymphoid tissue exhibit higher levels of the negative checkpoint receptor TIGIT. Increased frequencies of TIGIT+ and TIGIT+ PD-1+ CD8+ T cells correlated with parameters of HIV and SIV disease progression. TIGIT remained elevated despite viral suppression in those with either pharmacological antiretroviral control or immunologically in elite controllers. HIV and SIV-specific CD8+ T cells were dysfunctional and expressed high levels of TIGIT and PD-1. Ex-vivo single or combinational antibody blockade of TIGIT and/or PD-L1 restored viral-specific CD8+ T cell effector responses. The frequency of TIGIT+ CD4+ T cells correlated with the CD4+ T cell total HIV DNA. These findings identify TIGIT as a novel marker of dysfunctional HIV-specific T cells and suggest TIGIT along with other checkpoint receptors may be novel curative HIV targets to reverse T cell exhaustion.
Photoelectric circuit applications (1958)

A PHOTOELECTRONIC CIRCUIT consists of a combination of electroluminescent cells (EL) and photoconductors (PC), interconnected by electrical as well as optical paths. This paper confines itself to a study of switching circuits in which the inputs and outputs take the form of electrical signals, and light is used as an intermediate actuating source.
UDDIe: an extended registry for Web services (2003)

The Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is a specification for distributed Web-based information registries for Web Services. UDDI allows HTTP-enabled business services to be published, and subsequently searched, based on their interface. UDDI consists of three components: "white pages" to hold basic contact information and identifiers for a company, "yellow pages" to enable companies to be listed based on their industry categories (using standard taxonomies), and "green pages" to record interface details of how a Web service is to be invoked. UDDI is however limited in scope - allowing white, yellow or green pages to be searched based on a few attributes, and does not provide an automatic mechanism for updating the registry as services (and service providers) change. We implement UDDIe -an extension to UDDI, which supports the notion of "blue pages", to record user defined properties associated with a service - and to enable discovery of services based on these. UDDIe enables a registry to be more dynamic, by allowing services to hold a lease - a time period describing how long a service description should remain in the registry. UDDIe can co-exist with existing UDDI - and has been implemented as open-source software.

Neural Correlates of Perceptual Decision Making before, during, and after Decision Commitment in Monkey Frontal Eye Field (2011)

Perceptual decision making requires a complex set of computations to implement, evaluate, and adjust the conversion of sensory input into a categorical judgment. Little is known about how the specific underlying computations are distributed across and within different brain regions. Using a reaction-time (RT) motion direction-discrimination task, we show that a unique combination of decision-related signals is represented in monkey frontal eye field (FEF). Some responses were modulated by choice, motion strength, and RT, consistent with a temporal accumulation of sensory evidence. These responses converged to a threshold level prior to behavioral responses, reflecting decision commitment. Other responses continued to be modulated by motion strength even after decision commitment, possibly providing a memory trace to help evaluate and adjust the decision process with respect to rewarding outcomes. Both response types were encoded by FEF neurons with both narrow- and broad-spike waveforms, presumably corresponding to inhibitory interneurons and excitatory pyramidal neurons, respectively, and with diverse visual, visuomotor, and motor properties, albeit with different frequencies. Thus, neurons throughout FEF appear to make multiple contributions to decision making that only partially overlap with contributions from other brain regions. These results help to constrain how networks of brain regions interact to generate perceptual decisions.
Molecular Profiling of Diabetic Mouse Kidney Reveals Novel Genes Linked to Glomerular Disease (2004)

To describe gene expression changes that characterize the development of diabetic nephropathy, we performed microarray and phenotype analysis on kidneys from db/db mice (a model of type 2 diabetes), streptozotocin-induced diabetic C57BL/6J mice (a model of type 1 diabetes), and nondiabetic controls. Statistical comparisons were implemented based on phenotypic outcome characteristics of the animals. We used weighted vote-based supervised analytical methods to find genes whose expression can classify samples based on the presence or absence of mesangial matrix expansion, the best indicator for the development of end-stage renal disease in humans. We identified hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-3beta isotype 4 and osteopontin as lead classifier genes in relation to the mesangial matrix expansion phenotype. We used the expression levels of these genes in the kidney to classify a separate group of animals for the absence or presence of diabetic glomerulopathy with a high degree of precision. Immunohistochemical analysis of murine and human diabetic kidney samples showed that both markers were expressed in podocytes in the glomeruli and followed regulation similar to that observed in the microarray. The application of phenotype-based statistical modeling approaches has led to the identification of new markers for the development of diabetic kidney disease.
Impact of loss of heterozygosity of encoding phosphate and tensin homolog on the prognosis of gastric cancer (2005)

Even though mutation of PTEN in gastric cancer has rarely been reported, according to our findings, LOH of PTEN frequently occurs in gastric cancers and is correlated with disease-related deaths. The LOH of PTEN is an independent prognostic factor and PTEN is a candidate as a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor in gastric cancers.
An RNA nanoparticle vaccine against Zika virus elicits antibody and CD8+ T cell responses in a mouse model (2017)

The Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in the Americas and South Pacific poses a significant burden on human health because of ZIKV's neurotropic effects in the course of fetal development. Vaccine candidates against ZIKV are coming online, but immunological tools to study anti-ZIKV responses in preclinical models, particularly T cell responses, remain sparse. We deployed RNA nanoparticle technology to create a vaccine candidate that elicited ZIKV E protein-specific IgG responses in C57BL/6 mice as assayed by ELISA. Using this tool, we identified a unique H-2D<sup>b</sup>-restricted epitope to which there was a CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell response in mice immunized with our modified dendrimer-based RNA nanoparticle vaccine. These results demonstrate that this approach can be used to evaluate new candidate antigens and identify immune correlates without the use of live virus.
A Christianson syndrome-linked deletion mutation (∆287ES288) in SLC9A6 disrupts recycling endosomal function and elicits neurodegeneration and cell death (2016)

These results suggest that loss-of-function mutations in NHE6 disrupt recycling endosomal function and trafficking of cargo which ultimately leads to neuronal degeneration and cell death in Christianson Syndrome.
Simple, Low-Loss Joints Between Single-Mode Optical Fibers (1973)

Low-loss joints between single-mode optical fibers have been made without microscopic alignment, without fusing the tips, and without monitoring the transmitted power while the joints are assembled. The fibers are tightly held in an embossed groove; an index-matching liquid is added. Average power coupling efficiencies close to 90 percent in the red and to 85 percent in the infrared have been obtained. Mediocre end faces are acceptable. Realistic discrepancies between the fiber cladding diameters (slightly in excess of twice the core diameter) do not deteriorate the results.
Refractories of the Alumina‐Silica Series (1939)

Refractories are made of alumina‐silica comprising practically the entire range of compositions of the series from 100 per cent silica to 100 per cent alumina. The equilibrium diagram for pure alumina and pure silica is discussed briefly. The properties of silica brick and the effects of accessory oxides are mentioned. Following through the series toward increasing proportions of alumina in the various commercial refractories available, their properties and recent improvements are discussed. Finally there are given a few comments on the importance and significance of test methods.
