Repair of experimental arteriotomy in rabbit aorta using a new resorbable elastin—fibrin biomaterial (1989)

A new artificial connective matrix which results from two reactions of fibrinogen and fibronectin on elastin was used to obturate a slit made in the abdominal aorta of rabbit. The so-called Elastin-Fibrin biomaterial behaved as a scaffold through which all the different structures were restored to their former condition. At 3 months, the material had disappeared and no thrombus, no inflammation or reject had been detected.

A simple, safe and sensitive method for SARS-CoV-2 inactivation and RNA extraction for RT-qPCR (2020)

ABSTRACT The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has created an urgent need for large amounts of diagnostic tests to detect viral RNA, which commercial suppliers are increasingly unable to deliver. In addition to the lack of availability, the current methods do not always fully inactivate the virus. Together, this calls for the development of safer methods for extraction and detection of viral RNA from patient samples that utilise readily available reagents and equipment present in most standard laboratories. We present a rapid and straightforward RNA extraction protocol for inactivating the SARS-CoV-2 virus that uses standard lab reagents. This protocol expands analysis capacity as the inactivated samples can be used in RT-qPCR detection tests at laboratories not otherwise classified for viral work. The method circumvents the need for commercial RNA purification kits, takes about 30 minutes from swab to PCR-ready viral RNA, and enables downstream detection of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-qPCR with very high sensitivity (~4 viral RNA copies per RT-qPCR). In summary, we present a rapid, safe and sensitive method for high-throughput detection of SARS-CoV-2, that can be conducted in any laboratory equipped with a qPCR machine.
Oral Zinc Sulphate as Long-Term Treatment in Wilson’s Disease (Hepatolenticular Degeneration) (1979)

Clinical amelioration, clearance of Kayser-Fleischer rings and rising of ceruloplasmin concentration are described in a patient with the classical findings of Wilson's disease. These changes occurred during a 14-year period in which he used oral zinc sulphate (three times daily 200 mg) as the only medication to influence copper metabolism. Before starting this long-term zinc sulphate therapy he had used D-penicillamine (three times daily 300 mg) for only 6 weeks. The antagonistic action of zinc sulphate on copper resorption with amelioration of the clinical condition has been described before in this patient in 1961 by Schouwink. The patient had used at that time oral zinc sulphate for approximately 1.5 years. No changes in Kayser-Fleischer rings and ceruloplasmin levels were mentioned. Our findings suggest that oral zinc sulphate may not only prevent storage of copper in the tissues but may also contribute to the mobilization and excretion of deposits of copper.
An integrated YAC-overlap and ‘cosmid-pocket’ map of the human chromosome 21 (1994)

We describe here the construction of an ordered clone map of human chromosome 21, based on the identification of ordered sets of YAC clones covering > 90% of the chromosome, and their use to identify groups of cosmid clones (cosmid pockets) localised to subregions defined by the YAC clone map. This is to our knowledge the highest resolution map of one human chromosome to date, localising 530 YAC clones covering both arms of the chromosome, spanning > 36 Mbp, and localising more than 6300 cosmids to 145 intervals on both arms of the chromosome. The YAC contigs have been formed by hybridising a 6.1 equivalents chromosome 21 enriched YAC collection displayed on arrayed nylon membranes to a series of 115 DNA markers and Alu-PCR products from YACs. Forty eight mega-YACs from the previously published CEPH-Genethon map of sequence tagged sites (STS) have also been included in the contig building experiments. A YAC tiling path was then size-measured and confirmed by gel-fingerprinting. A minimal tiling path of 70 YACs were then used as probes against the 7.5 genome equivalents flow sorted chromosome 21 cosmid library in order to identify the lists of cosmids mapping to alternating shared--non-shared intervals between overlapping YACs ('cosmid pockets'). For approximately 1/5 of the minimal tiling path of YACs, locations and non-chimaerism have been confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), and approximately 1/5 of all cosmid pocket assignments have independent, confirmatory marker hybridizations in the ICRF cosmid reference library system. We also demonstrate that 'pockets' contain overlapping sets of cosmids (cosmid contigs). In addition to being an important logical intermediate step between the YAC maps published so far and a future map of completely ordered cosmids, this map provides immediately available low-complexity cosmid material for high resolution FISH mapping of chromosomal aberrations on interphase nuclei, and for rapid positional isolation of transcripts in the highly resolved regions of genetic interest.
Towards a Framework to Detect Multi-stage Advanced Persistent Threats Attacks (2014)

Detecting and defending against Multi-Stage Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) Attacks is a challenge for mechanisms that are static in its nature and are based on blacklisting and malware signature techniques. Blacklists and malware signatures are designed to detect known attacks. But multi-stage attacks are dynamic, conducted in parallel and use several attack paths and can be conducted in multi-year campaigns, in order to reach the desired effect. In this paper the design principles of a framework are presented that model Multi-Stage Attacks in a way that both describes the attack methods as well as the anticipated effects of attacks. The foundation to model behaviors is by the combination of the Intrusion Kill-Chain attack model and defense patterns (i.e. a hypothesis based approach of known patterns). The implementation of the framework is made by using Apache Hadoop with a logic layer that supports the evaluation of a hypothesis.
Turning to and away from the Highest Canonical Authority: A Reexamination of Thomas Bernhard’s Reception of Adalbert Stifter in Frost (2013)

In the aftermath of World War II, both Austria and Germany drew on their most canonical classical authors for didactic and public relations goals. In the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, Goethe was the central cultural figure utilized for these purposes, while in Austria Stifter played a leading role. This essay begins by contrasting these respective national instrumentalizations of cultural patrimony. The impact of Stifter as an iconic Austrian author drawn upon in the wake of the war by the country’s educational and cultural institutions is evident in the works of Thomas Bernhard, particularly in his first novel, Frost . This essay reevaluates the impact of Stifter’s most canonical novel, Der Nachsommer , on Frost from the perspective of Stifter reception in the immediate postwar years and examines Bernhard’s seemingly polemic treatment of Stifter in his novel Alte Meister in this broader context of Bernhard’s Stifter reception.
Tuning the Electronic Structure of Conjugated Polymers with Fluoroalkyl Substitution:  Alternating Alkyl/Perfluoroalkyl-Substituted Polythiophene (2004)

The electronic properties of the conjugated backbone of polythiophene can be tailored by the incorporation of alkyl and perfluoroalkyl substituents. A regioregular copolymer with alternating alkyl and perfluoroalkyl substituents displays absorption and emission maxima between those of the homopolymers composed of the individual structural units. However, the combination of the alternating electron-rich and electron-poor units, together with a small twisting influence of the perfluoroalkyl groups, provides a material which displays enhanced solution-phase fluorescence and strong solid-state fluorescence which is absent for the wholly alkyl analogue.

An expert system for construction contract claims (1989)

An expert system for claims guidance has been developed at US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory. This paper describes the development of the first module of the Claims Guidance System (CGS)for analysing ‘differing site condition’ (DSC) claims. Also included is a selection of appropriate cases and a sample consultation.
Orthogonal Polynomials for Complex Gaussian Processes (2004)

Power amplifiers are the major source of nonlinearity in communications systems. Such nonlinearity causes spectral regrowth as well as in-band distortion, which leads to adjacent channel interference and increased bit error rate. Polynomials are often used to model the nonlinear power amplifier or its predistortion linearizer. In this paper, we present a novel set of orthogonal polynomials for baseband Gaussian input to replace the conventional polynomials and show how they alleviate the numerical instability problem associated with the conventional polynomials. The orthogonal polynomials also provide an intuitive means of spectral regrowth analysis.
High-Throughput Genomics Enhances Tomato Breeding Efficiency (2009)

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is considered a model plant species for a group of economically important crops, such as potato, pepper, eggplant, since it exhibits a reduced genomic size (950 Mb), a short generation time, and routine transformation technologies. Moreover, it shares with the other Solanaceous plants the same haploid chromosome number and a high level of conserved genomic organization. Finally, many genomic and genetic resources are actually available for tomato, and the sequencing of its genome is in progress. These features make tomato an ideal species for theoretical studies and practical applications in the genomics field. The present review describes how structural genomics assist the selection of new varieties resistant to pathogens that cause damage to this crop. Many molecular markers highly linked to resistance genes and cloned resistance genes are available and could be used for a high-throughput screening of multiresistant varieties. Moreover, a new genomics-assisted breeding approach for improving fruit quality is presented and discussed. It relies on the identification of genetic mechanisms controlling the trait of interest through functional genomics tools. Following this approach, polymorphisms in major gene sequences responsible for variability in the expression of the trait under study are then exploited for tracking simultaneously favourable allele combinations in breeding programs using high-throughput genomic technologies. This aims at pyramiding in the genetic background of commercial cultivars alleles that increase their performances. In conclusion, tomato breeding strategies supported by advanced technologies are expected to target increased productivity and lower costs of improved genotypes even for complex traits.
Diesel Design for Turbocharging (1965)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A novel design for a two-stroke cycle diesel engine for traction purposes, having a mechanically driven scavenge blower in series with an exhaust gas turbocharger, is proposed. By driving the scavenge blower from the crankshaft, through a variable speed drive, the quantity of charge air supplied to the engine can be varied independently of engine speed. Very high torque at low engine speed is thus possible, and an ideal traction torque characteristic results. To eliminate the problems associated with high peak cycle gas pressure under these conditions, a simple variable compression ratio mechanism is incorporated.</div>
Predictability of energy futures prices (1998)

This chapter has outined the methodology to be used in testing the theories of technical analysis and market efficiency.Section 4.2 outlines autocorrelation coefficients and Q-statistics as tests of RWl .The moving average crossover and commodity charme1 index are presented in Section 4.3 as tests of RW2.Variance ratios, outlined in Section 4.4, provide a test of RW3.Finaily, the unit root hypothesis can be tested using the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test, as outlined in Section 4.5.Together, these tests should provide us with a great deal of information about the movement of energy prices.To the extent that the various random w a k models hold, this would provide evidence in support of the EMT.In addition, those same results would imply that trading d e s should be ineffective.Taken together, these results should answer questions as to the predictability of energy prices.An insight that shouid not be lost is one regarding our assumptions underlying the data generating process.Under most statistical tests, we impose linearity, which is rather restrictive and limits the sort of conclusions we may reach.When we relax linearity, such as with technical trading d e s , we are really on& testing those rules.Our conclusions c m be no more powerfi than that the given d e works or does notwe c m o t make powerfid conclusions about the random waik hypothesis using these sorts of tests.Simply put, our assumptions are of necessity quite restrictive, and this fact must be recognized when we draw OUI conclusions.
Peptide Aptamers with Biological and Therapeutic Applications (2011)

Peptide aptamers are combinatorial protein molecules with specific bind affinity to given target proteins under intracellular conditions. The typical structure of peptide aptamers is a short peptide region inserted within a scaffold protein. The short peptide region is responsible for binding with its target protein and the scaffold protein helps to enhance the binding affinity and specificity through restriction on the conformation of the binding peptide. This unique structural feature allows peptide aptamers to bind with their target proteins with strong affinity and high specificity. Applications of peptide aptamers thus vary from in vitro detection of various proteins in a complex mixture to in vivo modulation on proteins and cell functions. Peptide aptamers have also been considered as therapeutic molecules because of their anticancer and antivirus activity. Due to the importance of peptide aptamers, a general review on the structure, selection and applications of peptide aptamers in biological study as well as in therapeutics will be presented in this paper.
The case for safe RAM (1989)

Battery-backed-up DRAM memories can be configured today to be almost as reliable as disk. This paper argues that it is cost-effective to employ Safe RAM in computer systems which support reliable updates. Safe RAM allows systems that support reliable updates, such as database and transaction processing systems, to perform more efficiently. We show how a response time improvement can always be realized, and how a throughput improvement can be realized to the extent that a system has had to limit disk utilization to achieve adequate response time. We also show that Safe RAM is cost-effective today for most applications and will become increasingly cost-effective as more caching is used, and as DRAM standby power and disk active power decrease.
Extraction of Cause Information from Newspaper Articles Concerning Business Performance (2007)

We propose a method of extracting cause information from Japanese newspaper articles concerning business performance. Cause information is useful for investors in selecting companies to invest. Our method extracts cause information as a form of causal expression by using statistical information and initial clue phrases automatically. Our method can extract causal expressions without predetermined patterns or complex rules given by hand, and is expected to be applied to other tasks or language for acquiring phrases that have a particular meaning not limited to cause information. We compared our method with our previous method originally proposed for extracting phrases concerning traffic accident causes and experimental results showed that our new method outperforms our previous one.
Nonionic block polymer surfactants enhance immunogenicity of pneumococcal hexasaccharide-protein vaccines (1988)

Incorporated in oil-in-water emulsions, nonionic block polymer surfactants change the kinetics of generated antibody responses against pneumococcal hexasaccharide-protein conjugates: prolonged immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G responses are realized. Nonionic block polymer surfactants favor the immunogenicity of hexasaccharide-protein conjugates in young mice in such a way that a single injection yields long-lasting protection.
Tracking of the Mitral Valve Leaflet in Echocardiography Images (2006)

This paper presents a semi-automatic method for the segmentation and the tracking of the mitral valve leaflet in transesophageal echocardiography. We use two connected active contours in order to track efficiently the mitral leaflet. Segmentation of very fast and non rigid motions involved are realized in two steps. In the first step we use transformation fitting to provide a rough segmentation that will be refined in a second step using snakes with dynamic programming minimization. The method successfully tracks the inner cardiac muscle and the mitral valve leaflet axis
A crash recovery algorithm based on multiple logs that exploits parallelism (2002)

The paper describes an efficient algorithm for recovery based on multiple logs. The standard WAL algorithm is designed to work with a single log. Since each transaction is required to write a commit record to the log, it imposes limits on the maximum achievable throughput even if group commits are allowed. These limits are well below the needs of high transaction rate systems in airlines and in other areas. Another problem with a 'single log' algorithm is that the tail of the log is a 'hot spot' because of severe contention for it. It is shown that both these problems are solved by extending the write-ahead logging method into a multiple log algorithm which allows transactions to write to one of several logs, and also permits each log to perform checkpoints and I/O operations in parallel. A further advantage of multiple logs is that parallelism can be exploited at recovery time. An algorithm is outlined that speeds up recovery by scanning the multiple logs in parallel.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Production of Vascular Permeability Factor by Enterotoxigenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolated from Man (1973)

Enterotoxin preparations derived from Escherichia coli strain H-10407 were shown to contain vascular permeability factor (PF) activity as well as diarrheagenic activity. Intradermal injection of E. coli enterotoxin (ECT) caused localized induration and permeability of small blood vessels of the skin to intravenously administered Evans blue dye. The PF assay described here demonstrated a linear dose response and was at least as sensitive as the adult rabbit ileal loop assay for detecting ECT. E. coli PF activity was heat labile and was neutralized by homologous antiserum. PF production was enhanced by the addition of yeast extract (up to 0.6%) to a Casamino Acids-salts medium. PF activity was detectable as early as 6 h in aerated (shake) cultures in the Casamino Acids-yeast extract-salts medium, pH 8.5, maximal at 18 h and essentially unchanged at 48 h. The skin test (PF) assay for ECT has numerous advantages over current assay methods which involve gastrointestinal challenge of experimental animals.
Multi-Database Mining. (2003)

Multi-database mining is an important research area because (1) there is an urgent need for analyzing data in different sources, (2) there are essential differences between mono- and multi-database mining, and (3) there are limitations in existing multi-database mining efforts. This paper designs a new multidatabase mining process. Some research issues involving mining multi-databases, including database clustering and local pattern analysis, are discussed.
Learning Efficient Photometric Feature Transform for Multi-view Stereo (2021)

We present a novel framework to learn to convert the per-pixel photometric information at each view into spatially distinctive and view-invariant low-level features, which can be plugged into existing multi-view stereo pipeline for enhanced 3D reconstruction. Both the illumination conditions during acquisition and the subsequent per-pixel feature transform can be jointly optimized in a differentiable fashion. Our framework automatically adapts to and makes efficient use of the geometric information available in different forms of input data. High-quality 3D reconstructions of a variety of challenging objects are demonstrated on the data captured with an illumination multiplexing device, as well as a point light. Our results compare favorably with state-of-the-art techniques.
