Repulsion of bacteria from marine surfaces (1975)

Organic compounds are capable of repelling motile bacteria from marine surfaces. The most effective compounds were acrylamide and benzoic and tannic acids. These were active at concentrations that were not toxic to the bacteria. Repellents were incorporated in nontoxic paints and applied to metal panels. Treated panels immersed in seawater developed a bacterial film of only 10(6) bacteria per cm6 after 12 days compared with untreated panels, which had 5 times 10(12) bacteria per cm2 after the same period. Field studies confirmed the effectiveness of these repellents. The use of biological repellents provides a new approach to the control of marine fouling.
A system-on-chip for pressure-sensitive fabric (2002)

This paper presents a mixed-signal system-on-chip (SOC) for decoding the pressure exerted over a large piece of smart fabric. The image map of the pressure applied over the fabric surface is achieved by detecting the capacitance variation between rows and columns of conductive fibers patterned on the two opposite sides of an elastic layer, like synthetic foam. The SOC approach allows one to reduce design time maintaining the flexibility to accommodate for different sensor sizes and to perform some image enhancement such as fixed pattern noise compensation and gamma correction. The chip has been designed in a 0.35 /spl mu/m 5 ML CMOS process to work at 40 MHz, 3.3 V power supply, in a fully reconfigurable arrangement of 128 rows and columns. The core area is 32 mm/sup 2/.
Planipes (2011)

Analyzing foot pressure is helpful in clinical diagnosis. Possible applications include the diagnosis of back injuries, prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, and adaptation of insoles for orthopedic applications. Consequently, several approaches to measure foot pressure distributions exist. However, traditional systems exhibit one common drawback: They are non-mobile or at least obtrusive and therewith influence the measurement. In the case of stationary pressure plates, people are only able to measure the foot pressure distribution in an unnatural context. The few available portable systems feature a lot of cables and large data processing computers, which render them unusable for everyday activities or long term measurements. To address these issues we have implemented Planipes, a mobile and versatile foot pressure measurement platform. It consists of a small sensor module that measures foot pressure distribution in real time and a smartphone application that allows to visualize, record, and analyze the data. Both parts are wirelessly connected through Bluetooth. Our system allows to unobtrusively measure foot pressure in real time during everyday activities, and to give feedback to the user. In contrast to existing systems it allows to measure foot pressure of a person over a longer period and in a natural environment, without influencing or impeding the user.
Fabrication of Robust Triple-Ti[sub 1−x]Al[sub x]N Metal Gate by Atomic Layer Deposition (2010)

In this study, we fabricate a thermally stable triple- metal gate for potential use in p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor devices and analyze the impact of Al concentrations in an atomic-layer-deposited film on the effective work function and the resistivity of the metal gate. An increase in the Al content in the film causes an increase in the resistivity of the film metal gate while improving the thermal stability of the metal gate. By combining the positive effects in terms of the work function and the resistivity, we prepared a triple-layer metal gate, which exhibits a work function of and resistivity of after thermal annealing at in for , making it suitable for use as a metal gate in pMOS field-effect transistors.

The crystal and compensation design is discussed to provide the background for a review of the manufacturing issues encountered. The authors describe several of the issues encountered in the manufacturing process and relate how these were addressed. Millions of Saber oscillators have been manufactured and it is still in volume production.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Investigation of Filter Bypass Leakage and a Test for Aerosol Sampling Cassettes (2002)

Plastic filter cassettes (37 and 25 mm), which are press fitted together to seal and hold a filter in place, are commonly used for sampling aerosols. Aerosol bypass leakage around the filter has been reported by several researchers and attempts have been made to test for leakage and to reduce the likelihood of leakage by improving cassette design. Under typical sampling conditions, there is often no indication to the user that leakage may have occurred. In the present study, a particle count leak test was developed that used a particle counter that measured the particle number concentration of ambient aerosol (primarily submicrometer particles) upstream and downstream of the filter cassette. The relationship between leak test results and particle loss from the filter depended on particle size and type in a complex fashion. The mechanisms of particle loss were investigated and the losses increased for particles above 2 w m and were much greater for solid and fume aerosols than for oil droplets. Although the test could not be used to predict particle mass loss during sampling, the test was a sensitive indicator of cassette bypass leakage and was used to establish compression pressures needed for proper assembly of these cassettes.
The socio-monetary incentives of online social network malware campaigns (2014)

Online social networks (OSNs) offer a rich medium of malware propagation. Unlike other forms of malware, OSN malware campaigns direct users to malicious websites that hijack their accounts, posting malicious messages on their behalf with the intent of luring their friends to the malicious website, thus triggering word-of-mouth infections that cascade through the network compromising thousands of accounts. But how are OSN users lured to click on the malicious links? In this work, we monitor 3.5 million Facebook accounts and explore the role of pure monetary, social, and combined socio-monetary psychological incentives in OSN malware campaigns. Among other findings we see that the majority of the malware campaigns rely on pure social incentives. However, we also observe that malware campaigns using socio-monetary incentives infect more accounts and last longer than campaigns with pure monetary or social incentives. The latter suggests the efficiency of an epidemic tactic surprisingly similar to the mechanism used by biological pathogens to cope with diverse gene pools.

Overlapping recognition determinants within the ssrA degradation tag allow modulation of proteolysis (2001)

The ssrA tag, an 11-aa peptide added to the C terminus of proteins stalled during translation, targets proteins for degradation by ClpXP and ClpAP. Mutational analysis of the ssrA tag reveals independent, but overlapping determinants for its interactions with ClpX, ClpA, and SspB, a specificity-enhancing factor for ClpX. ClpX interacts with residues 9-11 at the C terminus of the tag, whereas ClpA recognizes positions 8-10 in addition to residues 1-2 at the N terminus. SspB interacts with residues 1-4 and 7, N-terminal to the ClpX-binding determinants, but overlapping the ClpA determinants. As a result, SspB and ClpX work together to recognize ssrA-tagged substrates efficiently, whereas SspB inhibits recognition of these substrates by ClpA. Thus, dissection of the recognition signals within the ssrA tag provides insight into how multiple proteins function in concert to modulate proteolysis.
Transfer of the Core Region Genes of the <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i> WA-C Serotype O:8 High-Pathogenicity Island to <i>Y. enterocolitica</i> MRS40, a Strain with Low Levels of Pathogenicity, Confers a Yersiniabactin Biosynthesis Phenotype and Enhanced Mouse Virulence (2002)

The high-pathogenicity island (HPI) of yersiniae encodes an iron uptake system represented by its siderophore yersiniabactin (Ybt). The HPI is present in yersiniae with high levels of pathogenicity--i.e., Yersinia pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Y. enterocolitica biogroup (BG) 1B--but absent in Y. enterocolitica strains with low (BG 2 to 5) and no (BG 1A) levels of pathogenicity and has been shown to be an important virulence factor. Comparison of the HPI in Y. enterocolitica (Yen-HPI) and that in Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis revealed that, in contrast to genes of the variable region, genes of the core region (genes irp9 to fyuA) are highly homologous. In the present work the Yen-HPI core genes were rescued from the chromosome of Y. enterocolitica WA-C (BG 1B, serotype O:8) using the FRT-FLP recombinase system. Transfer of the resulting plasmid pCP1 into the siderophore-deficient strain Y. enterocolitica NF-O (BG 1A) led to no halo on siderophore indicator chrome azurol S (CAS) agar. Transfer of pCP1 into the Y. enterocolitica strain MRS40 (serotype O:9, BG 2; phenotype, CAS negative) led to a CAS halo larger than that of parental strain WA-C, indicating high Ybt production. pCP1 was highly unstable in iron-deficient medium, and no enhanced mouse virulence conferred by MRS40 carrying pCP1 could be detected. To overcome the problem of instability, pCP1 was integrated into the chromosome of MRS40, leading to the formation of a CAS halo comparable to that seen with WA-C and correspondingly to increased mouse virulence. Thus, the core genes of Yen-HPI are sufficient to confer a positive CAS phenotype and mouse virulence to Y. enterocolitica MRS40, BG 2, but are insufficient to confer this phenotype to Y. enterocolitica NF-O, BG 1A.

Steering Angle-Disturbance Observer (SA-DOB) based yaw stability control for electric vehicles with in-wheel motors (2010)

In this paper, a robust yaw stability control design based on active steering control is proposed for electric vehicles. The control system consists of an inner-loop controller (i.e., in this paper, called as a Steering Angle-Disturbance Observer(SA-DOB) which rejects an input steering disturbance and an output yaw disturbance simultaneously by feeding a compensation steering angle) and an outer-loop controller (i.e., PI-type Tracking Controller) to achieve the control performances. The control performance of the proposed yaw stability control system is verified through computer simulations and experiments.
Liposomes in dermatology today (2009)

Liposomes are vesicles consisting of spherical phospholipid bi-layers with specific properties making them useful for topical application of drugs. Liposome research has expanded considerably over the last 30 years and nowadays, it is possible to construct a wide range of liposomes varying in size, phospholipids composition and surface characteristics to suit the specific application for which they are intended. In dermatology, the topical application of liposomes has proven to be of therapeutic value. Liposomes can be used as carriers for hydrophilic as well as lipophilic therapeutic agents because of their amphipathic character. They may improve stabilization of instable drugs by encapsulating them and serve as penetration enhancers facilitating the transport of compounds that otherwise cannot penetrate the skin. Liposomes help in reducing skin irritation by sustaining the release of drugs and by hydration of the epidermis. They also have the potential to target drugs into the pilosebaceous structures and hence they have an additional advantage for treatment of hair follicle-associated disorders. Clinical data indicate that 5-ALA encapsulated in liposomes improves the quality of Fluorescence Diagnosis by ALA-induced Porphyrins (FD) and optimizes the results of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).

‘Pity that the scoundrel didn't perish’: brother's imprisonment and career stagnation, 1939–1941 (2016)

In spite of Heydrich's aforementioned clear rebuke of September 1939 to the effect that the SD's foreign intelligence reports required improvement, Filbert had enjoyed a rapid rise through the SD and the ranks of the SS during the period 1935–1939. After becoming a full-time employee of Jost's Office III (Counterintelligence) in the SD Main Office on 1 March 1935, he had been promoted to the first SS officer rank, namely Untersturmführer (equivalent to second lieutenant), on 1 July 1936 (see Figures 8, 9 and 10). Exactly one month later, he had been appointed head of Main Department 22 (Enemy Intelligence Services) within the SD Main Office. Further promotions followed on 30 January 1937 to Obersturmführer (lieutenant) and on 12 September 1937 to Hauptsturmführer (captain). On 1 March 1938, his superior in Office III, SS-Oberführer Rudolf Fumy, had given Filbert the following appraisal:
Lenalidomide in multiple myeloma (2006)

Current therapies for multiple myeloma include steroids, alkylating agents and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplant. These approaches are typically associated with initially good response rates, but they ultimately fail as a result of disease progression. New therapies that overcome resistance, lower toxicity and maintain remission are needed. Recent advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma include bortezomib and thalidomide. Lenalidomide (Revlimid) is an immunomodulatory drug that has undergone rapid clinical development in multiple myeloma and was recently approved by the US FDA for use in patients with relapsed disease. Clinical trials demonstrate that lenalidomide, particularly in combination with dexamethasone, produces durable clinical responses in patients with relapsed and refractory disease and is generally well tolerated, with manageable toxicities. This review summarizes the profile of lenalidomide and the current evidence for its efficacy in multiple myeloma.
Situational analysis of dental caries and existing oral health care of children and adolescents in Hubei Province, People's Republic of China: implications for change. (2008)

Analysis of epidemiological information over the last two decades does not provide any conclusive evidence supporting either an increasing or decreasing trend of dental caries in the child and adolescent population of Hubei Province and Wuhan Municipality. There is, however, a clear need to prevent the incidence of dental caries from increasing and to provide care to address the treatment needs of pre-school and school-age children. The promotion of twice-daily tooth brushing with fluoride toothpaste at maternal and child health care centres, and the establishment of daily tooth brushing with pea-size amounts of fluoride toothpaste in the pre-school and primary school setting are recommended preventive strategies. Establishment of school-based oral health promotion should be accompanied with the provision of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) sealants and ART restorations which can be provided by dental nurses at dramatically lower costs than the traditional high-tech approach.
The WORK OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND FOREIGN DOCUMENTATION CENTRES (1955)

What I am going to say will probably appear to be a confused talk about a very complex, and even chaotic, subject. I have had a short but intensive experience of the International Federation for Documentation (F.I.D.) and I can see many people in this room whose knowledge of that body goes back many years longer than mine. I am going to try, nevertheless, to look at this subject of international documentation against the general perspective of the working of international organizations because I am convinced that many of the difficulties, disappointments, frustrations and successes of bodies like the International Federation for Documentation and the International Federation of Library Associations (I.F.L.A.) have their parallel in some of the bigger international bodies.

The paper presents the structure of the system, the marker-propagation algorithm, and results that show a large degree of parallelism.
Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Devices for Displays (2006)

A new technology is being developed that combines the familiar construction of a small molecule organic LED with an inorganic emissive core that uses quantum dots. QD-LEDs combine the soluable nature of polymers for ease of manufacture with the potential for high-efficiency emission similar to phosphorescent materials.
Cloning and Characterization of a p53-related Protein Kinase Expressed in Interleukin-2-activated Cytotoxic T-cells, Epithelial Tumor Cell Lines, and the Testes (2001)

A human protein kinase, p53-related protein kinase (PRPK), was cloned from an interleukin-2-activated cytotoxic T-cell subtraction library. PRPK appears to be a homologue of a growth-related yeast serine/threonine protein kinase, YGR262c. However, a complementation assay using YGR262c-disrupted yeast indicated that PRPK is not functionally identical to the yeast enzyme. PRPK expression was observed in interleukin-2-activated cytotoxic T-cells, some human epithelial tumor cell lines, and the testes. The intrinsic transcriptional activity of p53 was up-regulated by a transient transfection of PRPK to COS-7 cells. PRPK was shown to bind to p53 and to phosphorylate p53 at Ser-15. These results indicate that PRPK may play an important role in the cell cycle and cell apoptosis through phosphorylation of p53.
Vital signs: variation among States in prescribing of opioid pain relievers and benzodiazepines - United States, 2012. (2014)

The Like economy: the social web in transition (2011)

Recently, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg claimed that the social will be the future organizing principle of economies. This paper will examine how platforms increasingly connect economic value and the social by focusing on the role of social buttons. Drawing on digital methods, we explore the growing implementation of social buttons and counters. Special attention is paid to Facebook and its Open Graph which allows the platform to connect to the entire web through the Like Button. Linking Facebook’s efforts to a historical perspective on the hit and link economy, we claim that what might be in the making is not only a social web, but a re-centralized, data intensive fabric - the Like economy. This Like economy can be understood as part of emerging free economies which offer services for free and generate profits via their by-products - in Facebook’s case social activities such as liking, sharing and commenting.
Nonlinear propagation acoustics of dual-frequency wide-band excitation pulses in a focused ultrasound system (2010)

In this article, acoustic propagation effects of dual-frequency wide-band excitation pulses in a focused ultrasound system are demonstrated in vitro. A designed and manufactured dual-frequency band annular array capable of transmitting 0.9/7.5 MHz center frequency wide-band pulses was used for this purpose. The dual-frequency band annular array, has been designed using a bi-layer piezo-electric stack. Water tank measurements demonstrate the function of the array by activating the low- and high-frequency layers individually and simultaneously. The results show that the array works as intended. Activating the low- and high-frequency layers individually, results in less than -50 dB signal level from the high- and low-frequency layers respectively. Activating both layers simultaneously, produce a well defined dual-frequency pulse. The presence of the low-frequency pulse leads to compression, expansion, and a time delay of the high-frequency pulse. There is a phase shift between the low- and high-frequency pulse as it propagates from the array to the focus. This makes the latter described effects also dependent on the array configuration. By varying the low-frequency pressure, a shift of up to 0.5 MHz in center frequency of a 8.0 MHz transmitted high-frequency pulse is observed at the array focus. The results demonstrate the high propagation complexity of dual-frequency pulses.
Increased intestinal absorption of mizoribine, an immunosuppressive agent, in cholestatic rats. (2010)

The intestinal absorption of mizoribine, an imidazole nucleoside, is mediated by concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT)1 and CNT2 in rat. Previously, bile and bile salts such as sodium glycocholate were found to suppress the intestinal absorption of mizoribine. In the present study, the contribution of bile on the intestinal absorption of mizoribine was further evaluated in rats. Cholestatic states were induced by an intraperitoneal injection (2 ml/kg) of 50% carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) dissolved in olive oil, or oral administration (100 mg/2 ml/kg) of alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) dissolved in olive oil. The animals were subjected to absorption studies 24 h after treatment. Cholestatic states were confirmed by measuring plasma concentrations of bile acids and bile flow rates. When oral bioavailability of mizoribine was estimated by the recovery amount in the urine, rats under cholestatic states exhibited significantly higher oral bioavailabilities than untreated control rats. In contrast, the intestinal absorption percentages of mizoribine from in-situ lavaged intestinal loops were the same magnitudes among untreated control, CCl4- and ANIT-treated rats. These results indicated that the increased oral bioavailability of mizoribine in cholestatic rats was not ascribed to the modulation of nucleoside transporter's expression. In conclusion, various diseased states accompanied with cholestasis may increase the oral bioavailability of mizoribine, possibly due to its less amounts of bile in the intestinal lumen.
