The development of a 2.5 T/100 kV A AC superconducting magnet using a high-J<sub>c</sub>NbTi superconducting wire having Nb artificial pins (1993)

High critical current densities, such as 1.61*1010 A m-2 at 1 T, 6.10*109 A m-2 at 3 T and 2.89*109 A m-2 at 5 T were achieved by optimizing the artificial pin number, the pin size and the pin interval inside the NbTi filaments for ultrafine-multifilamentary NbTi superconducting wires having Nb island-type artificial pins. The obtained critical current densities above 0.5 T are two or three times higher than in most conventional NbTi superconducting wires for AC use, because the position of the peak value of pinning-force density could be shifted in the wide range of the magnetic field by controlling the designed artificial pin parameters. On the basis of these results, we designed and fabricated a high-Jc, AC superconducting wire having Nb island-type pins for the purpose of AC use under medium magnetic field above 2 T, and successfully completed an AC superconducting solenoid magnet. This magnet was the first magnet wound by NbTi multifilamentary wires with artificial pins, and could generate the peak value of 2.5 T at 60 Hz AC mode without quench, where the electrical capacity of the magnet corresponded to about 100 kV A.
OLTP-Bench (2013)

Benchmarking is an essential aspect of any database management system (DBMS) effort. Despite several recent advancements, such as pre-configured cloud database images and database-as-a-service (DBaaS) offerings, the deployment of a comprehensive testing platform with a diverse set of datasets and workloads is still far from being trivial. In many cases, researchers and developers are limited to a small number of workloads to evaluate the performance characteristics of their work. This is due to the lack of a universal benchmarking infrastructure, and to the difficulty of gaining access to real data and workloads. This results in lots of unnecessary engineering efforts and makes the performance evaluation results difficult to compare. To remedy these problems, we present OLTP-Bench, an extensible "batteries included" DBMS benchmarking testbed. The key contributions of OLTP-Bench are its ease of use and extensibility, support for tight control of transaction mixtures, request rates, and access distributions over time, as well as the ability to support all major DBMSs and DBaaS platforms. Moreover, it is bundled with fifteen workloads that all differ in complexity and system demands, including four synthetic workloads, eight workloads from popular benchmarks, and three workloads that are derived from real-world applications. We demonstrate through a comprehensive set of experiments conducted on popular DBMS and DBaaS offerings the different features provided by OLTP-Bench and the effectiveness of our testbed in characterizing the performance of database services.

1978 memorial award paper: a computer-aided technique for overlaying cerebral angiograms onto computed tomograms. (1979)

We have developed a method which uses a digital computer to combine angiographic images of the cerebral vasculature with a computed tomogram of the brain. The procedure is simple and could be implemented in any radiology department equipped with both a CT scanner and a bi-plane angiography suite. We have performed the entire process in prototype on phantoms and on a patient and have produced images that appear accurate and informative.

Visual servoing-based augmented reality (1999)

The notion of Augmented Reality (AR) is to mix computer-generated, synthetic elements (3D/2D graphics, 3D audio) with real world in such a way that the synthetic elements appear to be part of the real world. There are various techniques to accomplish this, including magnetic tracking of position and orientation, and video-based tracking. This paper focuses on the video-based AR in
Chemical EOR for Offshore Platforms Using a Novel Chemical Gradient Design (2015)

Abstract Developing robust, low cost surfactant-polymer (SP) solutions for use in offshore oilfields has historically proven difficult. The objective of this study was to develop and test a practical EOR process for injecting surfactant-polymer mixtures in seawater followed by a polymer drive in seawater – we call this approach the chemical gradient. The main target for this approach is offshore applications for platforms with space and facility limitations where alternative sources of injection brine are not available or very limited, making it difficult to use a conventional salinity gradient design. A proposed strategy for modeling the chemical gradient is also included in this work. The conventional way to design a surfactant-polymer (SP) flood is to use a salinity gradient. This is the simplest, most efficient and most robust design approach. This means the surfactant-polymer slug is injected at its optimum salinity and then followed by a polymer drive at a lower salinity, usually about 70% of the slug salinity. This can be done by blending brines with different salinities, desalinating or softening an available injection brine and other means. However, sometimes none of these alternatives are practical using an existing offshore platform. We designed a high-performance SP flood requiring only seawater as the injection brine. We added a very small amount of a hydrophilic surfactant to the polymer drive following the surfactant/polymer slug to create a chemical gradient equivalent to a salinity gradient to improve robostness. We tested the design in an outcrop coreflood experiment and observed excellent performance including high oil recovery and propagation of the chemicals in a sharp bank.
Effects of Crown Ether Addition to Organic Electrolytes on the Cycling Behavior of the TiS2 Electrode (1987)

The characteristics of the rechargeable cell utilizing propylene carbonate (PC)‐based electrolytes have been investigated. Some effects of the addition of crown ethers to the electrolyte have been observed. The addition of 12‐crown‐4 improved the discharge capacity and the rechargeability of the cell, whereas the addition of 15‐crown‐5 showed a rather negative effect on the cycling performance. The chemical analysis of the discharged cathode (positive electrode) indicated that the amount of intercalated Li during the discharge from tends to be in excess of that calculated from Faraday's law. The x‐ray diffraction analyses of the discharged and the partially recharged cathodes suggested that the discharge reaction of the electrode involved solvent cointercalation (i.e., cointercalation of 12‐crown‐4 from the crown ether‐added electrolyte, and perhaps PC from ). The size and the strength of the Li+‐solvate (Li+‐complex) in the solution seem to be critical parameters of the solvent effects on the charge‐discharge characteristics of the cell.
The tale beyond the tail: histone core domain modifications and the regulation of chromatin structure (2006)

Histone post-translational modifications occur, not only in the N-terminal tail domains, but also in the core domains. While modifications in the N-terminal tail function largely through the regulation of the binding of non-histone proteins to chromatin, based on their location in the nucleosome, core domain modifications may also function through distinct mechanisms involving structural alterations to the nucleosome. This article reviews the recent developments in regards to these novel histone modifications and discusses their important role in the regulation of chromatin structure.

Orientations of Liquid Crystals on Chemically Functionalized Surfaces That Possess Gradients in Nanometer-Scale Topography (2002)

Liquid crystal cells with gradients in nanometer-scale surface topography have been prepared by sandwiching two hexadecanethiol (C16) self-assembled monolayers between two gold films, one of which had been deposited at a fixed angle of incidence (40°), the other at an angle varied from 48° to 58° (see Figure for micrographs (length = 7 cm) under polarized light with crossed (top) and parallel (bottom) polars).

History and Current State of Neurosurgery at the Medical University of South Carolina (2011)

We review the development of neurosurgery at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and the emergence of MUSC as a leading academic neurosurgical center in South Carolina. Historical records from the Waring Historical Library were studied, former and current faculty members were interviewed, and the personal records of Dr Phanor J Perot were examined. Dr Frederick E Kredel was the first to perform cerebral revascularization in stroke patients using omental flaps and the first to culture glioma cells in artificial media. The MUSC Neurosurgery residency program was established in 1964 by its first formally trained neurosurgeon, Julian Youmans, MD. The first graduate of the program, Dr Russell Travis, went on to become the President of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. In 1968, the longest serving chairman, Dr Perot, joined the department and conducted significant research in spinal cord injury, receiving a continuous, 20-year award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. A major change in the neurosurgery program occurred in 2004 when Dr Sunil Patel accepted the chairmanship. He integrated neurosurgery, neurology, and basic neuroscience departments into a comprehensive Department of Neurosciences to provide integrated clinical care. This department now ranks second in the country in National Institutes of Health research funding. Recently, the Center for Global Health and Global Neurosurgery was established with a vision of caring for patients beyond national borders. Neurosurgery at MUSC has been influenced by Drs Kredel and Perot and the current leadership is moving forward with a uniquely integrated department with novel areas such as global neurosurgery.
Sensitive Measurement of Unmethylated Repeat DNA Sequences by End-Specific PCR (2010)

We describe a new method that is well-suited for the determination of the methylation level of repetitive sequences such as human Alu elements. We have applied the method to the analysis of cell and tissue DNAs and expect it to have wide utility in studies of DNA methylation in cancer and other disease states, in monitoring response to epigenetic cancer therapies and in epidemiological studies. Only 1 ng DNA is needed for a duplex, one-tube real-time PCR in which methylation level and the amount of input DNA are concurrently measured. The relative cutting by the methylation-sensitive enzyme BstUI is compared with that of the methylation-insensitive enzyme DraI to give a measure of DNA methylation. The method depends upon the use of 5'-tailed, 3'-blocked oligonucleotides called facilitator oligonucleotides (Foligos). Only cut DNAs with specific matching sequences at their 3' ends can copy the tails of the Foligos and thus become tagged and available for subsequent PCR. Both the tagging and PCR are carried out by the same enzyme, Taq DNA polymerase. Because amplification only occurs if suitable ends have been generated in the target DNA, we have called this method end-specific PCR (ESPCR). ESPCR avoids the bisulfite treatment step that is usually required to measure methylation.
Automated quantitation of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (2004)

A toolbox for accurate and automatic analysis and visualization of MRSI is described. The toolbox is made up of two independent modules; automated spectroscopic image processing and visualization. The first module automatically analyzes and processes MRSI data. Spectral quantitation is realized by fitting the phased spectrum to approximated Voigt lineshape function using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. The absolute metabolite concentrations are calculated relative to brain tissue water after correcting for the relaxation effects. The second module links the spectroscopic analysis data from the first module to the tissue segmentation, based on the high resolution MRI to follow metabolic changes in individual tissues such as gray matter, white matter and lesions. The visualization tools allow the display of metabolic concentrations and individual tissue volumes that contribute to a given MRSI voxel by a single mouse click. The image manager allows the display of multiple images that are linked by a common cursor for accurate identification of the spectral regions. This software tool has been tested on a large number of normal volunteers and is currently used for the analysis of multicenter proton MRSI data on multiple sclerosis patients.
Audio segmentation, classification and clustering in a broadcast news task (2003)

The paper describes our work on the development of an audio segmentation, classification and clustering system applied to a broadcast news task for the European Portuguese language. We developed a new algorithm for audio segmentation that is both accurate and uses fewer computational resources than other approaches. Our speaker clustering module uses a modified BIC (Bayesian information criterion) algorithm which performs substantially better than the standard symmetric Kullback-Liebler, KL2, and is much faster than the full BIC. Finally, we developed a scheme for tagging certain speaker clusters (anchors) using trained cluster models. A series of tests were conducted showing the advantage of the new algorithms. This system is part of a prototype system that is daily processing the main news show of the national Portuguese broadcaster.

Production of a recombinant human T‐cell leukemia virus type‐I <i>trans</i>‐activator (tax<sub>1</sub>) antigen and its utilization for generation of monoclonal antibodies against various epitopes on the tax<sub>1</sub> antigen (1991)

A 42-kDa recombinant protein, PX141, consisting of the trans-activator protein encoded by human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV-1) (tax1 antigen) and the amino-terminal fusion peptide of 12 amino acid residues of the alpha-peptide encoded by the plasmid pUC19 was produced. In order to investigate the immunogenicity of the tax1 antigen, mice were immunized with the purified PX141 and 4 anti-tax1 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) designated TAXY-1, TAXY-6, TAXY-7 and TAXY-8 were generated, and their reactivity was characterized along with another anti-tax1 MAb, Lt-4. Immunoblot assays showed that all the MAbs reacted with the PX141, the native tax1 antigen expressed in various HTLV-1-infected cell lines and the gp68 of MT-2 cells expressing the tax1 amino acids 94-353. Immunoblot assays using recombinant, truncated tax1 antigens, XD59 (expressing amino acids 180-338) and XD128 (expressing amino acids 1-47 and 286-353) showed that: (1) TAXY-1 and Lt-4 did not react with either antigen; (2) TAXY-6 and TAXY-8 reacted with only XD128: and (3) TAXY-7 reacted with both. In addition, TAXY-1, but not the other MAbs, reacted with a putative tax antigen of an STLV-I-infected cell line, designated RfM26-I. Competitive binding assays showed that TAXY-6 and TAXY-8 did not compete against each other. Sera from HTLV-I-infected humans interfered with the binding of all of these anti-tax1 MAbs. These results indicate that the tax1 antigen and the PX141 express at least 5 distinct epitopes recognized by human and mouse antibodies.
An integrated model of stomatal development and leaf physiology (2013)

• Stomatal conductance (g(s)) is constrained by the size and number of stomata on the plant epidermis, and the potential maximum rate of g(s) can be calculated based on these stomatal traits (Anatomical g(smax)). However, the relationship between Anatomical g(smax) and operational g(s) under atmospheric conditions remains undefined. • Leaf-level gas-exchange measurements were performed for six Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes that have different Anatomical g(smax) profiles resulting from mutations or transgene activity in stomatal development. • We found that Anatomical g(smax) was an accurate prediction of g(s) under gas-exchange conditions that maximized stomatal opening, namely high-intensity light, low [CO₂], and high relative humidity. Plants with different Anatomical g(smax) had quantitatively similar responses to increasing [CO₂] when g(s) was scaled to Anatomical g(smax). This latter relationship allowed us to produce and test an empirical model derived from the Ball-Woodrow-Berry equation that estimates g(s) as a function of Anatomical g(smax), relative humidity, and [CO₂] at the leaf. • The capacity to predict operational g(s) via Anatomical g(smax) and the pore-specific short-term response to [CO₂] demonstrates a precise link between stomatal development and leaf physiology. This connection should be useful to quantify the gas flux of plants in past, present, and future CO₂ regimes based upon the anatomical features of stomata.
Estimating the Voltage Stability of a Power System (1986)

A method for the online testing a power system is proposed which is aimed at the detection of voltage instabilities. Thereby an indicator L is defined which varies in the range between 0 (noload of system) and 1 (voltage collapse). Based on the basic concept of such an indicator various models are derived which allow to predict a voltage instability or the proximity of a collapse. The indicator uses information of a normal load flow. The advantage of the method lies in the simplicity of the numerical calculation and the expressiveness of the result.

Paper recycling is a fitting endeavor for an academic library. A literature review and a feasibility study revealed that the benefits can include reduced costs to the university, librarians' involvement in a cooperative campus-wide project and improved staff morale throughout the library.
An energy-based methodology for locating the source of forced oscillations in power systems (2012)

Recently, several power grids of China came across low frequency oscillations which are difficult to explain by the traditional negative damping mechanism. Some researchers suggest that those oscillations be caused by external periodic disturbances according to the forced oscillation mechanism. It takes no doubt that the oscillation source location (means locating the disturbances) is imperative and decisive to eliminate such a kind of oscillations. This paper proposes a location methodology based on Energy Supply on Port derived from the Port-Controlled Hamiltonian theory. By calculating the energy injected to the network at corresponding ports, the oscillation sources can be effectively located, even in complicated systems containing various kinds of control devices such as governors and exciters. Different from the traditional methodology based on eigen-analysis, the proposed methodology is naturally decentralized without the dependency on global measurements. Case studies on the standard 4-machine 2-area system and the IEEE-118 bus system show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methodology.
Monomers and Oligomers of the M<sub>2</sub> Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptor Purified from <i>Sf</i>9 Cells (2003)

G protein-coupled receptors are known to form oligomers. To probe the nature of such aggregates, as well as the role and prevalence of monomers, epitope-tagged forms of the M(2) muscarinic receptor have been isolated as oligomers and monomers from Sf9 cells. Membranes from cells coexpressing the c-Myc- and FLAG-tagged receptor were solubilized in digitonin-cholate, and the receptor was purified by successive passage through DEAE-Sepharose, the affinity resin 3-(2'-aminobenzhydryloxy)tropane (ABT)-Sepharose, and hydroxyapatite. Coimmunoprecipitation of the two epitopes indicated the presence of oligomers at each stage of the purification up to but not including the fraction eluted specifically from ABT-Sepharose. The affinity-purified receptor therefore appeared to be monomeric. The failure to detect coimmunoprecipitation was not due to an ineffective antibody, nor did the conditions of purification appear to promote disaggregation. Receptor at all stages of purification bound N-[(3)H]methylscopolamine and [(3)H]quinuclidinylbenzilate with high affinity, but the capacity of receptors that were not retained on ABT-Sepharose was only 4% of that expected from densitometry of western blots probed with an anti-M(2) antibody. Similarly low activity was found with oligomers isolated by successive passage of coexpressed receptor on anti-c-Myc and anti-FLAG immunoaffinity columns. M(2) muscarinic receptors therefore appear to coexist as active monomers and largely or wholly inactive oligomers in solubilized extracts of Sf9 cells. A different pattern emerged when coinfected cells were treated with quinuclidinylbenzilate prior to solubilization, in that ABT-purified receptors from those cells exhibited coimmunoprecipitation. Treatment with the antagonist therefore led to oligomers in which at least some of the constituent sites were active and were retained by ABT-Sepharose.
