Agents and the Internet: infrastructure for mass customization (1999)

Major market trends are driving the manufacturing complex from mass production, where the manufacturer tells the customer what to buy, to mass customization, where the customer tells the manufacturing complex what to make. The Internet supports this transformation with global communication between customers and manufacturers. However, the physical realities of manufacturing impose requirements for more than just communication. In some sense, manufacturing enterprises must actually exist over the Internet as an efficiently managed distributed enterprise. Software agents offer a means to achieve this link and thus a reliable global infrastructure for mass customization. The AARIA project provides a demonstration of how the manufacturing complex can move toward mass customization by using the Internet as a natural platform for managing distributed operations and by using autonomous agents as the tools for efficiently reconfiguring available productive resources. We begin by looking at the unique requirements manufacturing imposes on the infrastructure for virtual enterprises and describing the AARIA project components for meeting them. We then describe our scheduling technologies for efficient distributed resource management.
Gestational Age-Dependent Up-Regulation of Prostaglandin D Synthase (PGDS) and Production of PGDS-Derived Antiinflammatory Prostaglandins in Human Placenta (2006)

These findings suggest that PGDS-derived prostanoids play important physiological roles in the placenta, such as immunoregulation and feto-placental communication, while potentially having a regulatory role in the processes of parturition.
Development of a Portable Acceleration Monitor Device and its clinical application for the Quantitative Gait Assessment of the Elderly (2005)

In this study, a handy gait assessment system with a tri-axial accelerometer has been developed and its application for a quantitative assessment of gait in the elderly was examined. This assessment system consists of a portable acceleration monitor device and PC analysis software. This portable device was fixed to the lower front of the subject, and the subject was asked to walk around a test course at a voluntary speed. The activities performed on the test course include standing up, normal walking, fast walking, and walking over a barrier. Gaits in 402 elderly people were measured three times every three months. These subjects were under nursing health services, such as expert place nursing, walking training, power rehabilitation, fall prevention training, and pool training. The measured acceleration was converted into relative velocity and relative displacement of the center of gravity of the subject. Four evaluation indices, i.e., physical activity, stability, symmetry, and average speed were calculated. The results reveal that both the physical activity and average speed decreased after six months under nursing services.
Bidirectional conversion between microwave and light via ferromagnetic magnons (2016)

Coherent conversion of microwave and optical photons in the single quantum level can significantly expand our ability to process signals in various fields. Efficient up-conversion of a feeble signal in the microwave domain to the optical domain will lead to quantum-noise-limited microwave amplifiers. Coherent exchange between optical photons and microwave photons will also be a stepping stone to realize long-distance quantum communication. Here we demonstrate bidirectional and coherent conversion between microwave and light using collective spin excitations in a ferromagnet. The converter consists of two harmonic oscillator modes, a microwave cavity mode and a magnetostatic mode called the Kittel mode, where microwave photons and magnons in the respective modes are strongly coupled and hybridized. An itinerant microwave field and a traveling optical field can be coupled through the hybrid system, where the microwave field is coupled to the hybrid system through the cavity mode, while the optical field addresses the hybrid system through the Kittel mode via Faraday and inverse Faraday effects. The conversion efficiency is theoretically analyzed and experimentally evaluated. The possible schemes for improving the efficiency are also discussed.

Determination of Bile Acids In Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms By Hplc (1989)

Abstract A rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic assay was developed for chenodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid in commercially available capsule and tablet formulations. A Supelcosil LC-18-DB column with UV detection at 210 nm and a methanol-acetate buffer eluent were used. Individual dosage forms were disintegrated in the mobile phase and an aliquot of the resulting suspension was filtered for the HPLC analysis. Recovery of the drugs from spiked placebo preparations was quantitative. the method was tested for linearity and specificity and was found to be simple, accurate and reproducible.
Hydrophilicity-Controlled Carbon Aerogels with High Mesoporosity (2009)

Highly mesoporous carbon aerogels with hydrophilicity-controlled pore walls were synthesized using a unique approach that combines CO(2) supercritical drying and colloidal silica nanocasting. The samples were characterized using nitrogen adsorption at 77 K, water adsorption at 303 K, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The nitrogen adsorption revealed the presence of micropores and mesopores with narrow pore size distributions. The water adsorption suggested that the hydrophilicity of carbon aerogels can be controlled by the residual silica in their pore walls. The FE-SEM observation confirmed the presence of hierarchical mesostructures and the high mesoporosity. The high surface area, large nanopore volume, and hydrophilicity-controlled pore walls make these aerogels well-suited for many applications.
N‐terminal peptide fragments of lipocortin‐1 inhibit a549 cell growth and block EGF‐induced stimulation of proliferation (1993)

Lipocortin-1 mediates growth inhibition of glucocorticoids in A549 cells by suppressing the release of PGE2 necessary for their proliferation. We now show that 2 peptide fragments derived from the N-terminal portion of lipocortin-1 corresponding to amino-acids 13-25 and 21-33 also inhibited A549 cell growth and suppressed release of PGE2, whereas peptides 1-12 and 13-25 (Phe21; in which the tyrosine at position 21 was replaced by a phenylalanine residue) were inactive. Similarly, peptide 21-33 (Phe21) and a scrambled sequence of 13-25 failed to inhibit cell growth. Moreover, the EGF-induced stimulation of cell proliferation and PGE2 release in these cells was blocked by peptides 13-25 and 21-33, and also by peptides 1-12, 13-25 (Phe21) and 21-33 (Phe21), but not by a scrambled sequence of peptide 13-25.
Ten-percent solar-to-fuel conversion with nonprecious materials (2014)

Direct solar-to-fuels conversion can be achieved by coupling a photovoltaic device with water-splitting catalysts. We demonstrate that a solar-to-fuels efficiency (SFE) > 10% can be achieved with nonprecious, low-cost, and commercially ready materials. We present a systems design of a modular photovoltaic (PV)-electrochemical device comprising a crystalline silicon PV minimodule and low-cost hydrogen-evolution reaction and oxygen-evolution reaction catalysts, without power electronics. This approach allows for facile optimization en route to addressing lower-cost devices relying on crystalline silicon at high SFEs for direct solar-to-fuels conversion.
Conclusion (1966)

Très imparfaitement, l’analyse du développement énergétique et de l’industrialisation au Brésil débouche sur les trois groupes d’enseignements évoqués dans l’introduction de cette étude. L’un d’entre eux, rappelons-le, portait sur la contribution du secteur énergétique à la restructuration de l’ensemble. Ce problème mérite d’être repris si l’on souhaite clore l’analyse sur les voies qui s’offrent au planificateur pour construire le développement énergétique futur. Celui-ci ne peut l’être qu’e...
Nucleophilic Aryl Fluorination and Aryl Halide Exchange Mediated by a Cu<sup>I</sup>/Cu<sup>III</sup> Catalytic Cycle (2011)

Copper-catalyzed halide exchange reactions under very mild reaction conditions are described for the first time using a family of model aryl halide substrates. All combinations of halide exchange (I, Br, Cl, F) are observed using catalytic amounts of Cu(I). Strikingly, quantitative fluorination of aryl-X substrates is also achieved catalytically at room temperature, using common F(-) sources, via the intermediacy of aryl-Cu(III)-X species. Experimental and computational data support a redox Cu(I)/Cu(III) catalytic cycle involving aryl-X oxidative addition at the Cu(I) center, followed by halide exchange and reductive elimination steps. Additionally, defluorination of the aryl-F model system can be also achieved with Cu(I) at room temperature operating under a Cu(I)/Cu(III) redox pair.
Biostatistical evidence for two distinct chronic open angle glaucoma populations. (1990)

Twenty-six eyes of 26 patients with low-tension glaucoma and 34 eyes of 34 patients with high-tension glaucoma were studied. Fifty-one measurements were available on each patient, including visual field indices, finger blood flow measurements, as well as haematological, coagulation, and biochemical and rheological variables. Multivariate analysis revealed two statistically distinct groups of patients, with low and high tension glaucoma cases equally distributed in both. The smaller group (15 patients) showed a suggestion of vasospastic finger blood flow measurements, and had a high positive correlation between the mean deviation (MD) index of field severity and the highest intraocular pressure (r = 0.715, p = 0.0008). The second, larger group (45 patients) showed disturbed coagulation and biochemical measurements, suggestive of vascular disease, and had no correlation between the MD index and the highest intraocular pressure.
Hot Forming to Improve Memory Window and Uniformity of Low-Power HfOx-Based RRAMs (2012)

A method of forming RRAM devices at elevated temperatures (hot forming) is proposed. By drastically reducing time-to-forming, this hot forming method enables forming to be performed using low constant voltage biases, which is shown to increase resistance of the conductive filament, lower operational current, increase memory window and improve device-to-device uniformity.
Liability for Botnet Attacks (2006)

This paper will consider the possibility of using tort liability to address cyber insecurity. In previous work, I have proposed a hypothetical lawsuit by the victim of a DDoS attack against the vendor of unreasonably insecure software, the flaws of which are exploited to create the DDoS attack army. Indeed, software vendors are facing increasing public disapproval for their contributions to cyber insecurity. However, not all DDoS attack armies are assembled by exploiting flaws in software. Computers are also infected when users voluntarily open infected email attachments or download infected files from file-sharing networks. Accordingly, the cyber insecurity resulting from the large numbers of average end-users with infected computers cannot be entirely addressed by reducing the number of exploitable flaws in widely-deployed software. It may be useful to find additional ways to address other avenues of infection.
Recertification for neurologists (2001)

In 1994, the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, Inc. (ABPN) issued its last lifetime certificates. All diplomates certified after 1994 are required to pass a recertification examination before December 31st of the 10th year after the original certificate was issued in order to maintain certification.

To many physicians, recertification may seem a new idea that has emerged from recent changes in the politics, economics, and sociology of medicine. At the meeting of its advisory board in 1936, however, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), the umbrella organization for (currently) 24 specialty boards, including the ABPN, discussed an agenda item entitled “Re-registration at Stipulated Intervals.” Additionally, in 1940, the Commission on Graduate Medicine published a statement entitled “Time Limit on Certification,” a portion of which reads:

Many persons argue that certification of a specialist indicates that he is up-to-date and competent at the time of examination but that this does not prove that he continues indefinitely thereafter to be competent and aware of all important new knowledge in his field. This is obviously true and, as the certifying Boards become established and as they complete the examination of the large group of physicians already practicing the specialties, they may find it desirable to issue certificates that are valid …
Strain-dependent release of cytokines modulated by Lactobacillus salivarius human isolates in an in vitro model (2010)

In conclusion, capability of L. salivarius to modulate immune response was strictly strain dependent and strains of the same species might have opposite effects. Therefore, a careful evaluation of anti-inflammatory properties of lactobacilli should be performed on single strain, before any consideration on potential probiotic use.
Metabolic Responses of Lactating Goats to Feed Restriction and Dietary 1,3-Butanediol (1989)

Feed restriction and dietary 1,3-butanediol were used with lactating goats in an attempt to induce metabolic changes characteristic of bovine lactation ketosis and fatty liver. In Experiment 1, midlactation goats were fed 80, 102, or 114% of metabolizable energy requirements and 0, 50, or 100 g/d of 1,3-butanediol. Concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate in blood plasma decreased with increasing metabolizable energy but was increased greatly at 2 h after goats were fed 50 or 100 g butanediol and remained elevated at 6 h postfeeding with 100 g of butanediol. Concentration of glucose in plasma was decreased at 2 and 6 h postfeeding in goats fed 100 g of butanediol. In Experiment 2, goats in early lactation were fed for ad libitum intake or were restricted to 70% of ad libitum intake with 1,3-butanediol included at 10% of diet DM. The treatment decreased milk production, increased concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyrate and nonesterified fatty acids, and decreased the concentration of insulin and the insulin to glucagon ratio in plasma. Concentrations of glucose, acetate, and glucagon in plasma were not affected. After 28 d of treatment, concentration of total lipid in liver was increased, but concentrations of glycogen and triglyceride were unaffected. Changes caused in goats by feed restriction plus dietary 1,3-butanediol were characteristic of subclinical lactation ketosis in cows, but the response was more moderate than seen previously in cows.
Machine and deep learning for workflow recognition during surgery (2019)

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in artificial intelligence (AI), such as with the automatic and real-time recognition of objects and activities in videos in the field of computer vision. Due to its increasing digitalization, the operating room (OR) promises to directly benefit from this progress in the form of new assistance tools that can enhance the abilities and performance of surgical teams. Key for such tools is the recognition of the surgical workflow, because efficient assistance by an AI system requires this system to be aware of the surgical context, namely of all activities taking place inside the operating room. We present here how several recent techniques relying on machine and deep learning can be used to analyze the activities taking place during surgery, using videos captured from either endoscopic or ceiling-mounted cameras. We also present two potential clinical applications that we are developing at the University of Strasbourg with our clinical partners.
Hairy Cell Leukemia Variant (2018)

Abstract Introduction: Hairy cell leukemia-variant (HCL-V) is an uncommon disorder, accounting for approximately 0.4% of chronic lymphoid malignancies and 10% of all HCL cases, without sexual predominance. Here is an attempt to submit a rare case presentation of HCL-V. Case:A 66 year old female presented to the clinic after she was referred from her primary care for further evaluation of pancytopenia. Past medical history was significant for diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Splenomegaly was noted on examination. Initial bloodwork showed a leukocyte count of 4.9, hemoglobin level of 11.8, platelet count of 78. LDH was 166. CT scan showed significant splenomegaly along with retroperitoneal adenopathy. Peripheral blood flow cytometry demonstrated a CD11c positive monoclonal B cell population suggestive of Hairy Cell Leukemia variant, positive for CD19, CD20, CD22, CD45, CD52, and kappa (moderate-bright), negative for CD5, CD10, CD23, CD38, CD103, CD123, BRAF V600. Left shift myeloid elements were noted but no significant myeloid blasts were noticed. She was diagnosed HCL-V with 17p deletion and 90% marrow involvement. She was treated with 8 doses Rituximab. After 1 year, she relapsed and was started on Cladribine and Rituximab weekly for 8 doses. She relapsed 1 year after Cladribine and Rituximab with splenomegaly and cytopenias, and she was started on Ibrutinib. 4 months after treatment with Ibrutinib, her cytopenias improved with normalization of spleen size. She is tolerating off label medication Ibrutinib well and currently asymptomatic. Discussion: This case represents an extremely rare hematological malignancy a distinct case of HCL-v due to 17p deletion and refractory to multiple therapies. Patients with multiply relapsed HCL-v are also appropriate candidates for moxetumomab pasudotox because HCL-v retains a high level of expression of CD22. Hairy cell leukemia variant is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder whose characteristics resemble the classic form and splenic marginal zone lymphoma, making differential diagnosis essential for therapeutic follow-up, as hairy cell leukemia variant has a decreased response to drugs prescribed for the classic form. Immunophenotyping is a key tool for diagnosis, as some markers are different between these neoplasms. Therefore, immunophenotyping, clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical manifestations must be considered in the differential diagnosis. Figure. Figure.

Repair and survival after UV in quiescent and proliferating <i>Microtus agrestis</i> cells: Different rates of incision and different dependence on DNA precursor supply (1979)

Cultured cells of Microtus agrestis, the common field vole, perform unscheduled DNA synthesis after UV irradiation. They respond to incubation with a DNA synthesis inhibitor (1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine) following UV in ways typical of cells capable of excision repair, with reduced survival and an accumulation of breaks in pre-existing DNA. Microtus cells irradiated with UV in a quiescent pre-S-phase state are more sensitive to UV than are proliferating cells, in terms of survival. Adding DNA precursors (deoxyribonucleosides), and--in case of proliferating cells--growing in complete rather than dialysed serum, enhance UV survival. Quiescent cells show a higher rate of endonucleolytic incision of DNA after UV than do proliferating cells. The balance between incision (producing single-strand DNA breaks) and repair DNA synthesis (leading to rejoining of breaks) is shifted by the addition of deoxyribonucleosides, which suggests that DNA precursor supply is a rate-limiting factor in repair. The lower survival of quiescent cells (in the absence of added deoxyribonucleosides) may be due to insufficient precursor supply to meet the demands of the high incision rate.
All-order dispersion cancellation and energy-time entangled state (2017)

Dispersion cancellation with an energy-time entangled photon pair in Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is one phenomenon that reveals the nonclassical nature of the entangled photon pair. This phenomenon has been observed in materials with very weak dispersions. If the higher-order dispersion coefficient is non-negligible, then the experiment must be modified to realize dispersion cancellation. All-order dispersion cancellation using balanced dispersion was suggested by Steinberg. However, the same phenomenon is expected to occur even if a photon pair is not entangled. This behaviour can be explained by path indistinguishability with identical dispersion. To achieve an all-order dispersion experiment that cannot be explained classically, we modified the experiment and performed another all-order dispersion cancellation experiment that cannot be explained by identical dispersion. This is the first demonstration of nonclassical all-order dispersion cancellation.
