The Effect of Al[sub 2]O[sub 3] Coating on the Cycle Life Performance in Thin-Film LiCoO[sub 2] Cathodes (2002)

The electrochemical stability of LiCoO2 films is improved by an ???10 nm Al2O3 coating on top of the thin-film cathode material. Galvanostatic charge/discharge experiments showed enhanced electrochemical properties in the Al2O3-coated LiCoO2 films than the bare ones. This phenomenon is related to the faster Li diffusion rate in the Al2O3-coated samples, as evidenced by cyclic voltammograms. This provides easier pathways for Li-ion migration by forming a thin-film solid solution layer (LiCo1-xAlxOz). Similar results were observed in LiCoO2 powders, showing enhanced cycle performance after coating with a thin-film metal-oxide coating. However, unlike the powder geometry, both bare and Al2O3-coated LiCoO2 thin films showed negligible c axis expansion.

Immediate files (1984)

Abstract An efficient disk organization is proposed. The basic idea is to store the first part of the file in the index (inode) block, instead of just storing pointers there. Empirical data are presented to show that this method offers better performance under certain circumstances than traditional methods.
Pharmacokinetics of voclosporin in renal impairment and hepatic impairment (2013)

Voclosporin is a novel calcineurin inhibitor intended for prevention of organ graft rejection and treatment of lupus nephritis. These studies evaluated the effect of renal or hepatic impairment on pharmacokinetics of voclosporin. Thirty-three subjects were enrolled into 1 of 4 groups based on renal function as defined by creatinine clearance and 18 subjects were enrolled into 1 of 3 groups based on hepatic function defined by Child-Pugh classes. Voclosporin 0.4 mg/kg was administered orally. Geometric mean ratios (renal/hepatic impairment-to-normal) and 90% confidence intervals for Cmax and AUC were calculated. A default no-effect interval of 80-125% was set. Although 90% confidence intervals exceeded the no-effect intervals for both parameters, individual Cmax and AUC plots indicate almost complete overlapping range of values for mild and moderate renal impairment and normal subjects. Severe renal impairment resulted in a 1.5-fold increase in AUC without an increase in Cmax . Mild to moderate hepatic impairment resulted in a 1.5- to 2-fold increase in voclosporin exposure. Voclosporin can be administered safely to patients with mild to moderate renal impairment without dose modification. Appropriate safety monitoring with concentration-based adjustments in transplantation are recommended for patients with severe renal impairment, and for patients with hepatic impairment.
Providing force feedback in virtual environments (1995)

An integral part of successfully manipulating objects is the sensation of touch or force. Experiments with telerobots (robots controlled at a distance) show that the sensation of force and contact improves the efficiency and accuracy of such tasks. Many believe that the same can be said of tasks in a virtual environment. Unfortunately, it is not possible to actually grasp a virtual object in the same manner as you would a real object because virtual objects are defined in the computer, while the user exists in the real world. Thus, there must be some intermediate device that provides the user with the effects of touch, either through the virtual environment itself or in a physical model of the object, which then communicates information to the virtual environment and displays the virtual object to the user. At the University of Tokyo, we are experimenting with surface display, a method that allows users to directly manipulate an object in a virtual environment by touching a physical model of the object's surface as presented by an intermediate device outside the computer. We have created a prototype of such a device that measures the force exerted on the surface. We have also implemented control and calculation methods, and have evaluated both the device and the methods in experiments with users. These experiments have validated the concepts underlying our work, and we are continuing to investigate implementation issues.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Plasmid-determined cytotoxicity in Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (1986)

Yersinia pestis KIM5 was found to be cytotoxic for the IC21 and P388D1 mouse macrophage cell lines, as well as for resident peritoneal macrophages from C57BL/6 mice. Affected cells phagocytosed KIM5 inefficiently, became spherical, detached readily from culture dishes, and retained 51Cr poorly. The cytotoxic effect was dependent on the presence of the 75-kilobase plasmid pCD1. Because this plasmid also encodes the low calcium response (LCR), three Mu d1 insertion mutants previously shown to be LCR- and of reduced virulence in mice were examined for cytotoxicity; all were found to be atoxic. The insertions in these mutants lie within three distinct LCR loci (lcrB, C, and D). Like LCR, cytotoxicity was expressed only at 37 degrees C. Unlike LCR, it was not influenced by Ca2+ concentration, indicating that the V and W antigens are probably not involved. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis was found to have a similar plasmid-dependent cytotoxicity. Thus, biological activity observed as cytotoxicity in vitro may well be a common feature contributing to virulence of the yersiniae.
Optimized Design of Gating/Riser System in Casting Based on CAD and Simulation Technology (2009)

Casting as a manufacturing process to make complex shapes of metal materials in mass production may experience many different defects such as porosity and incomplete filling. How to improve the casting quality becomes important. Gating/riser system design is critical to improving casting quality. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to optimize gating/riser systems based on CAD and simulation technology with the goal of improving casting quality such as reducing incomplete filling area, decreasing large porosity and increasing yield. Therefore in the thesis, an optimization framework is presented based on CAD and simulation technology. Given a CAD model of part design and after converted to a casting model, it is the first step to evaluate castability of the casting design. Then the runner and risers are represented parametrically, and CAD models generated by varying parameters can be used in the simulation. After analyzing simulation results, the gating/riser system design is optimized to improve casting quality. In the thesis, one engine block is used to verify the effectiveness of the optimization method. Compared with the initial design, it is found that the optimized casting design can decrease porosity around 18% while the yield increases 16%.

BACTERIAL VIRUSES OR BACTERIOPHAGES (1946)

Summary (i) The following factors are held to be chiefly responsible for recent progress in the field of bacterial viruses: (a) the introduction of ‘one‐step growth experiments’, (b) the concentration of attention on a small group of bacterial viruses, (c) the proof that virus‐resistant mutants originate independently of the presence of virus, (d) the application of the electron microscope. (2) Types of virus morphology, as revealed by the electron microscope, are described. The virus particles of any one strain are of uniform size and shape. Many strains show a ‘head‐and‐tail’ structure. Sizes between 45 and 100 mμ have been found. (3) Classification of a group of seven viruses by serological cross reactions agrees perfectly with classification by morphology. (4) A method for determining the origin of mutations of bacteria from virus sensitivity to virus resistance is outlined. There is evidence that the classification of viruses by cross‐resistance tests is of little value in establishing natural relationships between viruses. (5) The phenomenon of ‘lysogenesis’ is discussed, and certain ambiguities in its definition are pointed out. (6) The physiological basis of resistance of a bacterial strain to the attack by a specific virus is discussed. Such resistance is generally coupled with failure on the part of the bacteria to fix the virus in question by adsorption. Evidence shedding a new light on the process of adsorption is reported. (7) Bacterial viruses can mutate in such a way that their host range is altered. These mutations occur during the multiplication of the virus in its host. (8) The technique and terminology of ‘one‐step growth experiments’ are briefly described. (9) When a bacterium is attacked simultaneously by several virus particles of the same strain or of different strains the bacterium reacts as if it had been attacked by only one particle (mutual exclusion effect). A detailed study of this phenomenon has led to the assumption that the membrane of the bacterium becomes impermeable to other virus particles after one particle has entered the cell (penetration hypothesis). The excluded virus particles may affect the yield of virus of the successful type (depressor effect). (10) The adaptation of the technique of the ‘one‐step growth experiment’ to biochemical studies of virus multiplication is described. (n) The controversies regarding the nature of bacterial viruses are briefly touched upon, particularly with reference to the evolutionary standing of these viruses. (12) It is pointed out that a thorough study of bacterial viruses may lead to a better understanding of all types of viruses.
Evaluation of the CASP2 docking section (1997)

The docking section of CASP2 is reviewed. Seven small molecule ligand-protein targets and one protein-protein target were available for predictions. Many of the small molecule ligand complexes involved serine proteases. Overall results for the small molecule targets were good, with at least one prediction for each target being within 3 A root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) for nearly all targets and within 2 A RMSD for over half the targets. However, no single docking method seemed to consistently perform best. In addition, the predictions closest to the experimental results were not always those ranked the highest, pointing out that the evaluation (scoring) of potential solutions is still an area that needs improvement. The protein-protein target proved more difficult. None of the predictions did well in reproducing the geometry of the complex, although in many cases the interacting surfaces of the two proteins were predicted with reasonable accuracy. This target consisted of two large proteins and, therefore was a demanding target for docking methods.
Host response profiles: a new theory to help us understand why and how attractants attract. (1994)

Much insect behavior is better described in terms of response profiles than by classical stimulus-response patterns; the response to a particular stimulus may vary with changing internal and external conditions, making it important to qualify statements such as "compound X is an attractant." Because of the large number of conditions that may affect responses, it is crucial to develop a theoretical basis to direct the collection of field and experimental data, and their interpretation. A theory-driven model can help us predict response profiles over a wide range of such conditions. We describe an example of such a model, the assumptions upon which it is based, how the model is constructed, and the types of results that a computer implementation of the model can produce.
Flat-panel detectors: how much better are they? (2006)

Interventional and fluoroscopic imaging procedures for pediatric patients are becoming more prevalent because of the less-invasive nature of these procedures compared to alternatives such as surgery. Flat-panel X-ray detectors (FPD) for fluoroscopy are a new technology alternative to the image intensifier/TV (II/TV) digital system that has been in use for more than two decades. Two major FPD technologies have been implemented, based on indirect conversion of X-rays to light (using an X-ray scintillator) and then to proportional charge (using a photodiode), or direct conversion of X-rays into charge (using a semiconductor material) for signal acquisition and digitization. These detectors have proved very successful for high-exposure interventional procedures but lack the image quality of the II/TV system at the lowest exposure levels common in fluoroscopy. The benefits for FPD image quality include lack of geometric distortion, little or no veiling glare, a uniform response across the field-of-view, and improved ergonomics with better patient access. Better detective quantum efficiency indicates the possibility of reducing the patient dose in accordance with ALARA principles. However, first-generation FPD devices have been implemented with less than adequate acquisition flexibility (e.g., lack of tableside controls/information, inability to easily change protocols) and the presence of residual signals from previous exposures, and additional cost of equipment and long-term maintenance have been serious impediments to purchase and implementation. Technological advances of second generation and future hybrid FPD systems should solve many current issues. The answer to the question "how much better are they?" is "significantly better", and they are certainly worth consideration for replacement or new implementation of an imaging suite for pediatric fluoroscopy.
Analog functional simulator for multilevel systems (1991)

The authors describe a high-level functional analog simulator for hybrid logic/analog networks. it forms one level of an experimental multilevel simulation system which is currently under development. The functional simulator is described in detail, and the structure of the multilevel simulator is briefly outlined. It can be used as a stand-alone system but was developed specifically for coupling with other levels of simulation which also use time responses (or voltage waveforms). Since Boolean algebra cannot operate with time responses, a new algebra is developed. It eliminates the unknown state, the main obstacle in coupling analog simulation to logic simulation. Logic states are replaced by operations on time functions, in this case represented by piecewise linear segments. High-level analog operations are also possible. The simulator based on these ideas was used to solve several high-level analog problems. The examples presented demonstrate its application.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Implementation challenges of automatic demand response for households in smart grids (2016)

Utilities rely on Demand response (DR) systems to balance the supply and demand in the power grid. Traditionally, DR systems are utilized by commercial customers since they consume a great deal of power during peak times. With the introduction of Open Automatic Demand Response (OpenADR), DR systems are increasingly becoming available to households. However, there are many obstacles that hinder the wide adoption of automatic demand response systems in the residential sector. In this paper, we focus on OpenADR implementation challenges in households and discuss technical and non-technical issues related to effectiveness, security, privacy, and scalability properties that must be considered when implementing automatic demand response (ADR) systems in households.
[Ofloxacin (RU 43280). Clinical study]. (1987)

Thirty-two patients were treated by ofloxacin on bacteriological documented infections. They were Enterobacterias: n = 15 (MIC less than or equal to 0.06 to 0.5 microgram/ml); Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter: n = 1 (MIC 0.5 and 4 micrograms/ml); Staphylococcus: n = 6 (MIC less than or equal to 0.06 to 4 micrograms/ml); Pneumococcus: n = 1; Mycoplasma: n = 1; Chlamydia psittaci: n = 2; Legionella pneumophila: n = 1; Rickettsias: n = 4 (three mediterranean fevers one query fever). Ofloxacin was given orally from 400 to 800 mg per day (5 to 15 mg/kg/day). It was used alone 26 times and on 6 occasions it was associated with rifampin on 6 staphylococcal infections. On 19 cases it was used after failure or intolerance of initial therapy. Thirty times it was the first antibiotic substance used. Results were good mainly: 1) on nine pneumonitis (enterobacterias: 4; Pneumococcus: 1; Mycoplasma: 1; Chlamydia: 2; Legionella: 1) during a mean duration of twenty days; 2) urinary infections (n:7) provoked by E. coli and Enterobacter cloacae (mean duration: 20 days); 3) 4 osteo-articular-infections (mean duration: 77 days); 4) Rickettsial infections (n:4) during a mean duration of 11 days. Results are particularly noteworthy because patients treated had severe infections: 12 bacteremias, 1 endocarditis and 1 purulent meningitis. None severe adverse effect was observed.
Dermo-1: A Novel Twist-Related bHLH Protein Expressed in the Developing Dermis (1995)

Transcription factors belonging to the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family have been shown to control differentiation of a variety of cell types. Tissue-specific bHLH proteins dimerize preferentially with ubiquitous bHLH proteins to form heterodimers that bind the E-box consensus sequence (CANNTG) in the control regions of target genes. Using the yeast two-hybrid system to screen for tissue-specific bHLH proteins, which dimerize with the ubiquitous bHLH protein E12, we cloned a novel bHLH protein, named Dermo-1. Within its bHLH region, Dermo-1 shares extensive homology with members of the twist family of bHLH proteins, which are expressed in embryonic mesoderm. During mouse embryogenesis, Dermo-1 showed an expression pattern similar to, but distinct from, that of mouse twist. Dermo-1 was expressed at a low level in the sclerotome and dermatome of the somites, and in the limb buds at Day 10.5 post coitum (p.c.), and accumulated predominantly in the dermatome, prevertebrae, and the derivatives of the branchial arches by Day 13.5 p.c. As differentiation of prechondrial cells proceeded, Dermo-1 expression became restricted to the perichondrium. Expression of Dermo-1 increased continuously in the dermis through Day 17.5 p.c. and was also detected in the dermis of neonates, but became downregulated in adult tissues. The Dermo-1 protein bound the E-box consensus sequence in the presence of E12, but transcriptional activity was not detectable. Instead, Dermo-1 repressed transcriptional activity of myogenic bHLH proteins. The expression pattern of Dermo-1 suggests that it functions as a regulator of gene expression in a subset of mesenchymal cell lineages including developing dermis.
A vertical injection blue light emitting diode in substrate separated InGaN heterostructures (1999)

A vertical injection, light emitting InGaN quantum well diode has been demonstrated by separating the nitride heterostructure from its sapphire substrate by ultraviolet laser photoablation within a process scheme that allows transferring the devices to a host substrate. The incorporation of a dielectric multilayer stack to the device is shown to be a first practical step towards a resonant cavity light emitting diode.
