Li–CaO catalysed tri-glyceride transesterification for biodiesel applications (2004)

A series of Li-promoted CaO catalysts with Li loadings in the range 0.26–4.0 wt% have been prepared which are effective in the transesterification of glyceryl tributyrate and methanol to methyl butanoate. A Li content of 1.23 wt% provides the optimum activity towards methyl butanoate formation. Li doping increases the base strength of CaO, and XPS and DRIFTS measurements reveal that the optimum loading correlates with the formation of an electron deficient surface Li+ species and associated –OH species at defect sites on the support. High Li loadings result in bulk LiNO3 formation and a drop in surface area and corresponding catalytic activity.
Recommending questions using the mdl-based tree cut model (2008)

The paper is concerned with the problem of question recommendation. Specifically, given a question as query, we are to retrieve and rank other questions according to their likelihood of being good recommendations of the queried question. A good recommendation provides alternative aspects around users' interest. We tackle the problem of question recommendation in two steps: first represent questions as graphs of topic terms, and then rank recommendations on the basis of the graphs. We formalize both steps as the tree-cutting problems and then employ the MDL (Minimum Description Length) for selecting the best cuts. Experiments have been conducted with the real questions posted at Yahoo! Answers. The questions are about two domains, 'travel' and 'computers & internet'. Experimental results indicate that the use of the MDL-based tree cut model can significantly outperform the baseline methods of word-based VSM or phrase-based VSM. The results also show that the use of the MDL-based tree cut model is essential to our approach.
Isolation and detection of urease genes in Ureaplasma urealyticum (1991)

Urease from ureaplasmas was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined for two of the three subunits. These sequences were used to design primers for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that amplified most of the gene coding for one of the subunits. By using a novel "PCR walking" technique, we synthesized almost the complete locus on two overlapping PCR products. We present here a partial nucleotide sequence of the urease locus from Ureaplasma urealyticum (serotype 8), which agrees with our N-terminal amino acid data but differs slightly from the sequence previously reported (A. Blanchard, Mol. Microbiol. 4:669-676, 1990). Also described are PCR primers, intended for diagnostic use, that amplify a sequence from all Ureaplasma strains tested but not from any other mycoplasmas or urease-positive bacteria.
A dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for interactive multimedia applications over cellular networks (2011)

Cellular networks played key role in enabling high level of bandwidth for users by employing traditional methods such as guaranteed QoS based on application category at radio access stratum level for various classes of QoSs. Also, the newer multimode phones (e.g., phones that support LTE (Long Term Evolution standard), UMTS, GSM, WIFI all at once) are capable to use multiple access methods simulta- neously and can perform seamless handover among various supported technologies to remain connected. With various types of applications (including interactive ones) running on these devices, which in turn have different QoS requirements, this work discusses as how QoS (measured in terms of user level response time, delay, jitter and transmission rate) can be achieved for interactive applications using dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes over cellular networks. In this work, we propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for interactive multimedia applications with/without background load in the cellular networks. The system has been simulated for many application types running in parallel and it has been observed that if interactive applications are to be provided with decent response time, a periodic overhauling of policy at admission control has to be done by taking into account history, criticality of applications. The results demonstrate that interactive appli- cations can be provided with good service if policy database at admission control is reviewed dynamically.
Half-Mode Cavity-Based Planar Filtering Antenna With Controllable Transmission Zeroes (2018)

A two-pole half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (TIMSIW) cavity-based filtering antenna is presented. The TIMSIW cavity is used as a radiating resonator with a conventional substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity functioning as a highQ resonator of the filter, leading to its compact size. The concept of source-load coupling is introduced for filtering antennas, which allows for the presence of two controllable transmission zeroes (TZs) in the frequency response of proposed design. This is accomplished by using electric coupling between two resonator cavities and a combination of microstrip/coaxial line to feed the antenna. The single-layer printed circuit board structure provides a broadside gain of 4.3 dBi at the operating frequency of 5.5 GTIz. Gain curves are plotted at the broadside of the antenna, clearly showing a quasi-elliptic response and a 3-dB bandwidth of 2.6%.
Cloning, purification, crystallization and preliminary structural studies of penicillin V acylase from<i>Bacillus subtilis</i> (2005)

Penicillin acylase proteins are amidohydrolase enzymes that cleave penicillins at the amide bond connecting the side chain to their beta-lactam nucleus. An unannotated protein from Bacillus subtilis has been expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and confirmed to possess penicillin V acylase activity. The protein was crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method from a solution containing 4 M sodium formate in 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer pH 8.2. Diffraction data were collected under cryogenic conditions to a spacing of 2.5 A. The crystals belonged to the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 111.0, b = 308.0, c = 56.0 A. The estimated Matthews coefficient was 3.23 A3 Da(-1), corresponding to 62% solvent content. The structure has been solved using molecular-replacement methods with B. sphaericus penicillin V acylase (PDB code 2pva) as the search model.
Genetic Analysis of Calmodulin and Its Targets in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> (2001)

Calmodulin, a small, ubiquitous Ca2+-binding protein, regulates a wide variety of proteins and processes in all eukaryotes. CMD1, the single gene encoding calmodulin in S. cerevisiae, is essential, and this review discusses studies that identified many of calmodulin's physiological targets and their functions in yeast cells. Calmodulin performs essential roles in mitosis, through its regulation of Nuf1p/Spc110p, a component of the spindle pole body, and in bud growth, by binding Myo2p, an unconventional class V myosin required for polarized secretion. Surprisingly, mutant calmodulins that fail to bind Ca2+ can perform these essential functions. Calmodulin is also required for endocytosis in yeast and participates in Ca2+-dependent, stress-activated signaling pathways through its regulation of a protein phosphatase, calcineurin, and the protein kinases, Cmk1p and Cmk2p. Thus, calmodulin performs important physiological functions in yeast cells in both its Ca2+-bound and Ca2+-free form.
Joint Affinity Propagation for Multiple View Segmentation (2007)

A joint segmentation is a simultaneous segmentation of registered 2D images and 3D points reconstructed from the multiple view images. It is fundamental in structuring the data for subsequent modeling applications. In this paper, we treat this joint segmentation as a weighted graph labeling problem. First, we construct a 3D graph for the joint 3D and 2D points using a joint similarity measure. Then, we propose a hierarchical sparse affinity propagation algorithm to automatically and jointly segment 2D images and group 3D points. Third, a semi-supervised affinity propagation algorithm is proposed to refine the automatic results with the user assistance. Finally, intensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
Formability of Mg-Zn-Zr Based Alloy Sheets at Elevated Temperatures (2007)

Mg-3%Zn-0.2%Zr based alloy sheets with various alloying elements additions were fabricated through thermo-mechanical process, and their microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated at room and elevated temperatures. CCV(conical cup value) and V-bend tests were also carried out to evaluate the formability of the fabricated alloy sheets. The experimental results showed that small amounts of Sn or Sr additions could improve the elongation at elevated temperatures, even though the room temperature tensile properties were slightly deteriorated by the Sr addition.

Specific CYP3 A4 inhibitors in grapefruit juice: furocoumarin dimers as components of drug interaction (1997)

Four components were isolated from grapefruit juice that inhibit human CYP3A-mediated drug oxidation. The structures of these compounds were identified as furocoumarin derivatives by absorption spectra, APCI-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance after their purification by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. They include two new furocoumarins, 4-[[6-hydroxy-7-[[1-[(1-hydroxy-1-methyl)ethyl]-4-methyl-6- (7-oxo-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-4-yl)-4-hexenyl]oxy]-3,7-dimeth yl- 2-octenyl] oxy]-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one (GF-I-1) and 4-[[6-hydroxy-7-[[4-methyl-I- (1-methylethenyl)-6-(7-oxo-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-4-yl)-4- hexenyl] oxy]-3,7-dimethyl-2-octenyl]oxy]-7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one (GF-I-4). These furocoumarins are strong candidates for causative agents of grapefruit juice-mediated drug interaction, because of an inhibition potential that is equal to or stronger than the prototypical CYP3A4 inhibitor, ketoconazole, on liver microsomal testosterone 6 beta-hydroxylation.
Nucleic acid related compounds. 36. Synthesis of the 2′-<i>O</i>-methyl and 3′-<i>O</i>-methyl ethers of guanosine and 2-aminoadenosine and correlation of <i>O</i>′-methylnucleoside <sup>13</sup>C nmr spectral shifts (1981)

A modified trimethylsilylation of guanosine (1) followed by in situ replacement of the 6-trimethylsilyloxy group with ammonia at 150 °C gave 2,6-diamino-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine (2) in 92% yield. Treatment of 2 with diazomethane in the presence of tin(II) chloride dihydrate gave the 2′-O-methyl (3) and 3′-O-methyl (4) ethers of 2 in 98% combined yield. The ratios of 3/4 could be varied from 51:47 to 34:64 by changing the amount of catalyst used. Treatment of 3 and 4 with adenosine deaminase resulted in clean conversion of these 2-aminoadenosine ethers to 2′-O-methylguanosine (5) and 3′-O-methylguanosine (6), respectively, in optimized yields of 40% and 54% overall from 1. The 13 C nmr data for six ribonucleosides and their isomeric methyl ether derivatives have been correlated to provide a convenient method of identification.
Roles of acidic residues in the hydrophilic loop regions of metal‐tetracycline/H<sup>+</sup> antiporter Tet(K) of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (1997)

Three transmembrane glutamic acid residues play essential roles in the metal-tetracycline/H+ antiporter Tet(K) of Staphylococcus aureus [Fujihira et al., FEBS Lett. 391 (1996) 243-246]. In the putative hydrophilic loop region of the Tet(K) and Tet(L) proteins, six acidic residues are conserved. Asp74, Asp200, Asp318 and Glu381 are located on the putative cytoplasmic side, and Asp39 and Glu345 on the putative periplasmic side. These residues were replaced by a neutral amino acid residue or a charge-conserved one. In contrast to the transmembrane glutamic acid residues, the replacement of the two glutamic acid residues (Glu345 and Glu381) did not affect the tetracycline resistance level. Out of the other four aspartic acid residues, the only essential residue is Asp318, any replacement of which resulted in complete loss of the tetracycline resistance and transport activity. Asp318 is located in cytoplasmic loop 10-11 in the putative 14-transmembrane-segment topology of Tet(K). In the case of the tetracycline exporters of Gram-negative bacteria, the only essential acidic residue in the cytoplasmic loop region is located in loop 2-3 [Yamaguchi et al., Biochemistry 31 (1992) 8344-8348]. It may be a general role for tetracycline efflux proteins that three transmembrane and one cytoplasmic acidic residues are mandatory for the tetracycline transport function.
Biological characteristics of CD7(+) acute leukemia. (1996)

Eighty six of 430 acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) patients (20.0%) and forty of 173 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients (23.1%) had CD7 on their leukemia cells. CD7(+) AML occurred at a younger age than CD7(-) AML, and is more frequent in males. Hepatomegaly and central nervous system involvement were also more frequent in CD7(+) AML than in CD7(-) AML. The age of onset of CD7(+) ALL is also younger than that of CD7(-) ALL. Phenotypically, CD(+) AML expressed CD34, HLA-DR, and TdT more frequently than CD7(-) AML while CD7(+) ALL expressed CD13/33 more often than CD7(-) ALL cells responded most significantly to interleukin 3 (IL-3), whereas most CD7(-) AML cells responded more significantly to granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and/or granulocyte (G)-CSF than to IL-3. CD7(+)sCD3(-)CD4(-)CD8(-) ALL expressed G-CSF receptor and c-kit mRNA more frequently, which is not usual in other types of ALL. P-glycoprotein (P-gp)/multi-drug resistance gene (MDR1), thought to be expressed in hematopoietic stem cells, is expressed in CD7(+) AML and CD7(+)sCD3(-) CD4(-)CD8(-) ALL significantly more often than in CD7(-) acute leukemias and the CR rate and overall survival of CD7(+)AML was worse than CD7(-) AML. These data, collectively, suggest the close association of CD7(+) AML and CD7(+)sCD3(-)CD4(-)CD8(-) ALL, not only the common expression of CD7 itself but also because their phenotypical immaturity, cytokine receptor expression, P-gp/MDR1 expression and clinical manifestations including the frequent occurrence in males and the poor prognosis. We propose that CD7(+) acute leukemia is an hematopoietic stem cell leukemia which may be separate entity.
On‐Line Monolithic Enzyme Reactor Fabricated by Sol‐Gel Process for Elimination of Ascorbic Acid While Monitoring Dopamine (2004)

Abstract Catecholamine, a well‐known neurotransmitter, is released to restore heart function after the occurrence of cardiac ischemia. Endogenous ascorbic acid interferes considerably with the monitoring of neurotransmitters such as catecholamine and glutamate. In this work we have successfully developed a nanoliter volume monolithic enzyme reactor and integrated it with a carbon film electrode for monitoring dopamine in order to scavenge such electroactive interferents as ascorbic acid. A monolithic silica support prepared by the sol‐gel process has a large through‐pore structure and a nanoporous surface. The low back pressure resulting from the large though‐pore structure makes it possible to immobilize the enzyme and introduce fluid into the flow monitoring system by using a microsyringe pump. Ascorbate oxidase (AOx) was immobilized on the nanoporous surface of a monolithic matrix by physical adsorption and used for converting the ascorbic acid into its electrochemically inert form, dehydroascorbic acid, while monitoring dopamine. We showed that more than 99.8% of 100 μM of ascorbic acid could be converted to its oxidized form in the monolithic enzyme reactor. We succeeded in monitoring dopamine at a concentration of less than 100 nM in the presence of 50 μM of ascorbic acid. Therefore, this work demonstrated that a monolithic silica support offers excellent potential in regards to realizing a highly selective enzymatic reactor for biosensors.
Analysis of lamp-ballast interaction using the multi-frequency-averaging technique (2002)

In recent literature, several small-signal dynamic models for fluorescent lamps have been presented. These models have been used to analyze the lamp-ballast interaction for linear high frequency electronic ballasts. In the present paper, a new analysis method based on the generalized multi-frequency averaging technique is proposed. This method allows obtaining the small-signal dynamic model of an inverter in a straightforward way, even when the inverter behavior is not fully linear. The proposed analysis procedure is illustrated using an example. The frequency response of the small-signal transfer functions obtained with this method are compared with those experimentally measured using a laboratory prototype.
Object segmentation with region growing and principal component analisys (2002)

The paper considers the problem of object segmentation and shape recognition in discrete noisy data. Two different algorithms combine region growing techniques with principal component analysis. The proposed algorithms are applied to a data set from airborne laser scanners.
Status and Solutions for the World’s Unassessed Fisheries (2012)

Recent reports suggest that many well-assessed fisheries in developed countries are moving toward sustainability. We examined whether the same conclusion holds for fisheries lacking formal assessment, which comprise >80% of global catch. We developed a method using species' life-history, catch, and fishery development data to estimate the status of thousands of unassessed fisheries worldwide. We found that small unassessed fisheries are in substantially worse condition than assessed fisheries, but that large unassessed fisheries may be performing nearly as well as their assessed counterparts. Both small and large stocks, however, continue to decline; 64% of unassessed stocks could provide increased sustainable harvest if rebuilt. Our results suggest that global fishery recovery would simultaneously create increases in abundance (56%) and fishery yields (8 to 40%).

Purification and characterization of Escherichia coli guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase produced by a high efficiency expression plasmid utilizing a lambda PL promoter and CI857 temperature-sensitive repressor. (1983)

The gene for Escherichia coli guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase was placed after the high efficiency lambda phage leftward promoter in plasmid pHEGPT also containing the lambda CI857 temperature-sensitive repressor. Guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase increases 780-fold when cells containing pHEGPT are shifted from 30 to 42 degrees C. Guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase represents approximately 5% of the protein in a crude extract of induced cells. Guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase may be purified to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-100, and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The enzyme has a subunit molecular weight of 18,600 determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and behaves as a trimer during Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. Guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase is active from pH 7.5 to 10.5 with maximum activity at pH 9.5. The enzyme is protected from heat inactivation by phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP). At 65 degrees C, the enzyme has a half-life of 2 min in the absence of PRPP and 90 min in the presence of PRPP. The enzyme displays Michaelis-Menten kinetics with apparent Michaelis constants for guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine, and PRPP of 2.6, 39, 167, and 95 microM, respectively. The activity of the enzyme with guanine is 2-fold greater than that with xanthine and 3-fold greater than that with hypoxanthine.
Analysis of intraocular lens power calculation for cataract patients with high myopia and posterior scleral staphyloma (2013)
