Platelet-activating factor induces ovine fetal pulmonary venous smooth muscle cell proliferation: role of epidermal growth factor receptor transactivation (2007)

We have previously reported that platelet-activating factor (PAF) is present in very high levels in the ovine fetal lung and circulation and that PAF serves as an important physiological vasoconstrictor of the pulmonary circulation in utero. However, it is not known whether PAF stimulates pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. In this study, we used ovine fetal pulmonary venous SMCs as our model system to study the effects and mechanisms of action of PAF on SMC proliferation. We found that PAF induced SMC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. PAF also stimulated activation of both ERK and p38 but not c-Jun NH(2) terminal kinase (JNK) mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathways. PAF (10 nM) induced phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Specific inhibition of EGFR by AG-1478 and by the expression of a dominant-negative EGFR mutant in SMCs attenuated PAF-stimulated cell proliferation. Inhibition of heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) release by CRM-197 and inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) by GM-6001 abolished PAF-induced MAP kinase activation and cell proliferation. Increased alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity after PAF treatment in AP-HB-EGF fusion construct-transfected SMCs indicated that PAF induced the release of HB-EGF within 1 min. Gelatin zymography data showed that PAF stimulated MMP-2 activity and MMP-9 activity within 1 min. These results suggest that PAF promotes pulmonary vascular SMC proliferation via transactivation of EGFR through MMP activation and HB-EGF, resulting in p38 and ERK activation and that EGFR transactivation is essential for the mitogenic effect of PAF in pulmonary venous SMC.
Face Recognition for Social Media with Mobile Cloud Computing (2013)

Social Networking has become today's lifestyle and anyone can easily receive information about everyone in the world. It is very useful if a personal identity can be obtained from the mobile device and also connected to social networking. Therefore, we proposed a face recognition system on mobile devices by combining cloud computing services. Our system is designed in the form of an application developed on Android mobile devices which utilized the Face.com API as an image data processor for cloud computing services. We also applied the Augmented Reality as an information viewer to the users. The result of testing shows that the system is able to recognize face samples with the average percentage of 85% with the total computation time for the face recognition system reached 7.45 seconds, and the average augmented reality translation time is 1.03 seconds to get someone's information.
Microfabirated Clark-type Sensor for Measuing Dissolved Oxygen (2007)

This paper presents a microfabricated Clark-type sensor which exactly can measure dissolved oxygen in the cell containing solution. We designed and fabricated a microfabricated Clark-type sensor for measuring the oxygen respiration level of few cells. The microfabricated Clark-type sensor is composed of 3-electrodes on a glass substrate, a FEP (Fluorinated ethylene propylene) oxygen-permeable membrane, and PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane) reservoir for storing few cells containing solution. The microfabricated Clark-type sensor was fabricated using MEMS technology. Thin-film Ag/AgCl was employed as a reference electrode and its durability was verified by obtaining a stable open circuit potential versus a commercial Ag/AgCl electrode for 2 hours. Response time, reproducibility and linearity of the fabricated oxygen sensor were examined by amperometry. The fabricated Clark-type sensor showed 40 sec of 90% response time, reproducibility with 1.37 nA standard deviation of 97.03 nA mean in the full-oxygen state and 0.26 nA standard deviation of 3.25 nA mean in the zero-oxygen state, and an excellent linearity with a correlation coefficient of 0.994.

Variable-to-check residual belief propagation for LDPC codes (2009)

Variable-to-check residual belief propagation for LDPC decoding for faster convergence, better error performance and lower complexity is proposed. It is similar to residual belief propagation (RBP) that was recently applied to LDPC decoding by Vila Casado et al. because it is also a dynamic scheduling belief propagation using residuals, but it is different because the residuals are computed from a variable-to-check message. Simulation shows that it outperforms with only a maximum of eight iterations by about 0.3 dB compared with RBP at an FER of 10−4.

QseC‐mediated dephosphorylation of QseB is required for expression of genes associated with virulence in uropathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> (2009)

Bacteria sense environmental cues and regulate gene expression accordingly so as to persist in diverse niches. QseC is a membrane sensor kinase shown in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli to respond to host and bacterial signals by phosphorylating the QseB response regulator at residue D51, resulting in QseB activation and presumably upregulation of virulence genes. We studied QseBC in uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC). UPEC establish infection by colonizing and invading bladder cells. After invasion, UPEC can escape into the cytoplasm where they can form intracellular bacterial communities. Deletion of qseC significantly attenuated intracellular bacterial community formation and virulence, whereas paradoxically qseB deletion did not impact pathogenesis. We found that QseB upregulates its own expression in the qseC mutant, arguing that it is activated even in the absence of QseC. However, expression of QseB, but not a QseB_D51A mutant, in the absence of QseC resulted in downregulation of type 1 pili, curli and flagella. We observed similar phenotypes with enterohemorrhagic E. coli, showing that this is not a UPEC-specific phenomenon. Target gene expression is restored when QseC is present. We discovered that QseC has phosphatase activity required for QseB dephosphorylation. Thus, the QseC phosphatase capacity is critical for modulating QseB activity and subsequent gene expression.
Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Celiac Disease (1994)

To contribute to the description of the physiopathological mechanisms of celiac disease, changes in insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were followed-up in 21 children suspected of suffering from celiac disease. Thirteen children were suffering from celiac disease according to the original criteria of the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. Ten celiac children changing from a gluten-containing to a gluten-free diet presented a significant rise in IGF-I (+1.54 mM per month). In a group of eight celiac children challenged with gluten, seven had a significant decrease in IGF-I (-1.11 mM per month), and five celiac children returning to the gluten-free diet after challenge with gluten had a marked but not significant increase in IGF-I (+1.7 mM per month). Eight children not suffering from celiac disease, but challenged with gluten, had a significant increase in IGF-I (+0.29 mM per month), corresponding to the expected age-dependent increase. The significant changes in IGF-I described under the diagnostic dietetic phases of celiac disease reflect the extent of growth retardation caused by the disease. IGF-I may be a supplementary aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease in describing individual changes under the dietetic phases.
Measurement of cardiac output during exercise by open-circuit acetylene uptake (1999)

Noninvasive measurement of cardiac output (QT) is problematic during heavy exercise. We report a new approach that avoids unpleasant rebreathing and resultant changes in alveolar PO(2) or PCO(2) by measuring short-term acetylene (C(2)H(2)) uptake by an open-circuit technique, with application of mass balance for the calculation of QT. The method assumes that alveolar and arterial C(2)H(2) pressures are the same, and we account for C(2)H(2) recirculation by extrapolating end-tidal C(2)H(2) back to breath 1 of the maneuver. We correct for incomplete gas mixing by using He in the inspired mixture. The maneuver involves switching the subject to air containing trace amounts of C(2)H(2) and He; ventilation and pressures of He, C(2)H(2), and CO(2) are measured continuously (the latter by mass spectrometer) for 20-25 breaths. Data from three subjects for whom multiple Fick O(2) measurements of QT were available showed that measurement of QT by the Fick method and by the C(2)H(2) technique was statistically similar from rest to 90% of maximal O(2) consumption (VO(2 max)). Data from 12 active women and 12 elite male athletes at rest and 90% of VO(2 max) fell on a single linear relationship, with O(2) consumption (VO(2)) predicting QT values of 9.13, 15.9, 22.6, and 29.4 l/min at VO(2) of 1, 2, 3, and 4 l/min. Mixed venous PO(2) predicted from C(2)H(2)-determined QT, measured VO(2), and arterial O(2) concentration was approximately 20-25 Torr at 90% of VO(2 max) during air breathing and 10-15 Torr during 13% O(2) breathing. This modification of previous gas uptake methods, to avoid rebreathing, produces reasonable data from rest to heavy exercise in normal subjects.
Imaging with a Terahertz quantum cascade laser (2004)

We demonstrate bio-medical imaging using a Terahertz quantum cascade laser. This new optoelectronic source of coherent Terahertz radiation allows building a compact imaging system with a large dynamic range and high spatial resolution. We obtain images of a rat brain section at 3.4 THz. Distinct regions of brain tissue rich in fat, proteins, and fluid-filled cavities are resolved showing the high contrast of Terahertz radiation for biological tissue. These results suggest that continuous-wave Terahertz imaging with a carefully chosen wavelength can provide valuable data on samples of biological origin; these data appear complementary to those obtained from white-light images.
A study of physical properties and gas-surface interaction of vanadium oxide thin films (1999)

Thin films of vanadium oxide were prepared by means of r.f. reactive sputtering. Their physical properties were studied as a function of the oxygen content in the sputtering atmosphere. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectromicroscopy (XPSM) investigations have been used for the study of the morphology and the chemical composition. In addition electrical characterisation in controlled atmosphere has been also performed for the evaluation of gas sensing properties. In particular, films deposited with 15% O2 in the sputtering chamber were found to be more resistive and to exhibit the best sensitivity when exposed to different gases. This behaviour has been explained taking into account the presence of different crystallographic phases and the influence of the polycrystalline nature of the films.
2609 Development and Evaluation of CMG Wheels Made by Electrophoretic Deposition (2005)

Aiming toward the complete conversion to fixed abrasive process of single crystal silicon wafer, the Chemo-mechanical grinding (CMG) process which positively adopts chemical action to grinding process was proposed. Development and its appraisal experiment of the CMG wheel with EPD (electrophoretic deposition) were done in this research. Ceria (CeO2) abrasive and sodium alginate (used as binder) were used to grow pellets and the pellets were allocated peripherally to form CMG wheel. The effects of abrasive concentration, binder concentration ratio and applied voltage on the CMG wheel growth were investigated. The property of produced pellets and grinding performance of CMG wheel were experimentally studied.
Searching Time Series with Invariance to Large Amounts of Uniform Scaling (2017)

Similarity search is arguably the most important primitive in time series data mining. Recent research has made significant progress on fast algorithms for time series similarity search under Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Uniform Scaling (US) distance measures. However, the current state-of-the-art algorithms cannot support greater amounts of rescaling in many practical applications. In this paper, we introduce a novel lower bound, LB <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">new</sub> , to allow efficient search even in domains that exhibit more than a factor-of-two variability in scale. The effectiveness of our idea is validated on various large-scale real datasets from commercial important domains.
A Two‐Dimensional Porphyrin‐Based Porous Network Featuring Communicating Cavities for the Templated Complexation of Fullerenes (2006)

An unprecedented two-dimensional porphyrin network featuring dynamic pores capable of hosting fullerenes is realized following a bottom-up approach at a single-crystal silver surface. Surface- and porphyrin-driven long-range interactions between the C60 guest molecules and porphyrin layer result in the formation of exceptionally large supramolecular hybrid chains and islands (see Figure and Cover).

Complex Formation in Vesicle-Reconstituted Mitochondrial Cytochrome P450 Systems (CYP11A1 and CYP11B1) As Evidenced by Rotational Diffusion Experiments Using EPR and ST-EPR (1999)

Rotational diffusion measurements using EPR and saturation transfer EPR were applied to analyze complex formation between the electron-transfer components of the mitochondrial steroid-hydroxylating cytochrome P450 systems (CYP11A1 and CYP11B1) in phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidylethanolamine/cardiolipin vesicles prepared by octyl glucoside dialysis/adsorption. Octyl glucoside reconstitution of P450SCC results in large vesicles, which have an advantage over small vesicles in that vesicle tumbling does not contribute to measured rotational diffusion rates. Immobilization of spin-labeled adrenodoxin by both P450SCC and adrenodoxin reductase indicates equimolar complexation between P450SCC and adrenodoxin as well as between adrenodoxin reductase and adrenodoxin. Combination of rotational diffusion and antibody cross-linking confirmed the complexation of adrenodoxin with P450SCC and for the first time provided direct evidence of a complex between P450SCC and P45011beta in the membrane. In contrast, no evidence was found for the existence of adrenodoxin reductase-P450SCC complexes or a ternary complex of all three proteins. Thus, these experiments confirm the shuttle mechanism of electron transfer to vesicle-reconstituted P450SCC and P45011beta.
How to teach your robot in 5 minutes: Applying UX paradigms to human-robot-interaction (2017)

When creating modern and visually appealing user experiences for the interaction with industrial robots, previously known and universally applicable paradigms in app and web design can be utilized to increase accessibility and usability of the to be created service. This is especially the case when the expected user group consists of untrained and inexperienced users and therefore system interaction focus is laid more on build progress overview, safety for human and robot, as well as overall simplification of complicated features. In this paper, we present four of the most important paradigms of modern graphical user experiences in web and app design that can be used to forward the concept of interacting with an industrial robot without any experience-related thresholds. By redesigning an existing interaction concept of a working robot cell system for assembly tasks in a small and medium-sized enterprise environment the presented paradigms are being utilized. The achieved improvements are then examined in a before-after user study to analyze the paradigm's success in suiting the user's expectation and anticipation using the redesigned service.
Transport properties of phosphorus-doped ZnO thin films (2003)

The doping behavior of phosphorus in ZnO thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition is examined. The transport properties of epitaxial ZnO films doped with 1–5 at. % P were characterized via room temperature Hall measurements. As-deposited films doped with phosphorus are highly conductive and n type. The origin of the shallow donor level appears to be either substitution of P on the Zn site or formation of a donor complex. Annealing these phosphorus-doped films significantly reduces the carrier density, transforming the transport from highly conducting to semi-insulating. These results indicate that the phosphorus-related donor defect is relatively unstable, and suggests the formation of a deep level upon annealing. The latter is consistent with phosphorus substitution on the O site yielding a deep level in the gap.
A Switched Mode Power Supply for the Pulse Epabx (1978)

The Pulse EPABX was introduced by Northern Telecom about six years ago, and since then 13,000 have been sold all over the world. The utilization of the Switched Mode Power Supply technology resulted in the reduction of power consumption through improved efficiency. At the same time, the volume and weight of the power system was reduced by half; thus a substantial cost reduction in labour and material was achieved. This paper describes the new integrated power shelf for the Pulse EPABX.

[Toward gene and cell therapy using human artificial chromosome]. (2011)

Human artificial chromosomes (HACs) exhibit several potential characteristics desired for an ideal gene delivery vector, including stable episomal maintenance and the capacity to carry large genomic loci with their regulatory elements, thus allowing the physiological regulation of the introduced gene. Stem cells, including hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow-derived MSCs and iPS cells, can potentially avoid immune rejection due to their being obtained from the patient's own tissues. Recently, we succeeded the complete correction of a genetic deficiency in iPS cells derived from a human Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient using the HAC technology. Therefore, the combination of patient specific stem cells and HAC containing defective genes potentially represents a powerful tool for gene and cell therapies.
Ambient occlusion volumes (2010)

This paper introduces a new approximation algorithm for the near-field ambient occlusion problem. It combines known pieces in a new way to achieve substantially improved quality over fast methods and substantially improved performance compared to accurate methods. Intuitively, it computes the analog of a shadow volume for ambient light around each polygon, and then applies a tunable occlusion function within the region it encloses. The algorithm operates on dynamic triangle meshes and produces output that is comparable to ray traced occlusion for many scenes. The algorithm's performance on modern GPUs is largely independent of geometric complexity and is dominated by fill rate, as is the case with most deferred shading algorithms.
Effective and Privacy preserving Tabular Data Synthesizing (2021)

While data sharing is crucial for knowledge development, privacy concerns and strict regulation (e.g., European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) unfortunately limits its full effectiveness. Synthetic tabular data emerges as an alternative to enable data sharing while fulfilling regulatory and privacy constraints. The state-of-the-art tabular data synthesizers draw methodologies from Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). In this thesis, we develop CTAB-GAN, a novel conditional table GAN architecture that can effectively model diverse data types with complex distributions. CTAB-GAN is extensively evaluated with the state of the art GANs that generate synthetic tables, in terms of data similarity and analysis utility. The results on five datasets show that the synthetic data of CTAB-GAN remarkably resembles the real data for all three types of variables and results in higher accuracy for five machine learning algorithms, by up to 17%. Additionally, to ensure greater security for training tabular GANs against malicious privacy attacks, differential privacy (DP) is studied and used to train CTAB-GAN with strict privacy guarantees. DP-CTAB-GAN is rigorously evaluated using state-of-the-art DP-tabular GANs in terms of data utility and privacy robustness against membership and attribute inference attacks. Our results on three datasets indicate that strict theoretical differential privacy guarantees come only after severely affecting data utility. However, it is shown empirically that these guarantees help provide a stronger defence against privacy attacks. Overall, it is found that DP-CTABGAN is capable of being robust to privacy attacks while maintaining the highest data utility as compared to prior work, by up to 18% in terms of the average precision score.
