<title>Laser long-range remote-sensing program experimental results</title> (1995)

A laser long range remote sensing (LRS) program is being conducted by the United States Air Force Phillips Laboratory (AF/PL). As part of this program, AF/PL is testing the feasibility of developing a long path CO<SUB>2</SUB> laser-based DIAL system for remote sensing. In support of this program, the AF/PL has recently completed an experimental series using a 21 km slant- range path (3.05 km ASL transceiver height to 0.067 km ASL target height) at its Phillips Laboratory Air Force Maui Optical Station (AMOS) facility located on Maui, Hawaii. The dial system uses a 3-joule, <SUP>13</SUP>C isotope laser coupled into a 0.6 m diameter telescope. The atmospheric optical characterization incorporates information from an infrared scintillometer co-aligned to the laser path, atmospheric profiles from weather balloons launched from the target site, and meteorological data from ground stations at AMOS and the target site. In this paper, we report a description of the experiment configuration, a summary of the results, a summary of the atmospheric conditions and their implications to the LRS program. The capability of such a system for long-range, low-angle, slant-path remote sensing is discussed. System performance issues relating to both coherent and incoherent detection methods, atmospheric limitations, as well as, the development of advanced models to predict performance of long range scenarios are presented.
Persistent unilateral tibialis anterior muscle hypertrophy with complex repetitive discharges and myalgia (1992)

Unilateral enlargement of the tibialis anterior muscle associated with complex repetitive discharges occurred over several months in two patients and was preceded by pain and numbness in the lower leg. Neuroradiologic investigations excluded a compressive radiculopathy, but pharmacologic and neurophysiologic studies suggested a neurogenic basis for the muscle hypertrophy. Botulinum toxin A injection into the hypertrophied muscles led to a decreased muscle volume and cessation of muscle pain.
A new dynamic voting algorithm for distributed database systems (1994)

We consider the problem of keeping a distributed database system that has been partitioned because of site or communication link failures partially operable while ensuring data consistency. A dynamic-voting-consistency algorithm is proposed, and its correctness is demonstrated. The proposed algorithm results in improved efficiency in executing read requests by not requiring a read quorum. This algorithm is effective in environments where the majority of user requests are "read" types of requests. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm results in efficient recovery by avoiding updating those data objects that are still current. Under the proposed algorithm, the majority partition would be available even if changes in the network topology take place at a higher rate than the update rate, as long as only simple partitioning takes place.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Subcutaneous administration of somatostatin analogs as a major factor in the enhancement of the duration of action. (1978)

Door de opkomst van de positieve organisatiepsychologie is het theoretische fundament gelegd voor onderzoek naar positieve werkbeleving. Inmiddels lijkt de tijd rijp om praktisch aan de slag te gaan en deze nieuwe kennis om te zetten in positieve werkgerelateerde interventies. In dat kader introduceren we in dit artikel het concept ‘amplitie’, afkomstig van het Latijnse woord amplio, dat versterken betekent. Interventies die gericht zijn op amplitie, zijn nog nauwelijks voor werknemers ontwikkeld of op hun effectiviteit getoetst. Het doel van dit artikel is dan ook om te laten zien dat de benodigde ingrediënten wel reeds voorhanden zijn. Zo doen wij suggesties voor het vertalen van bestaande, algemene geluksbevorderende interventies naar de werkplek en worden gevalideerde uitgangspunten voor de implementatie van dergelijke interventies uiteengezet. We concluderen dat werkgerelateerde interventies niet uitsluitend gericht moeten zijn op werknemers die een burn-out hebben, maar tevens op werknemers die goed functioneren, maar waarvan het potentieel nog niet optimaal benut wordt.
Overexpression of ABCA1 reduces amyloid deposition in the PDAPP mouse model of Alzheimer disease (2008)

APOE genotype is a major genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). ABCA1, a member of the ATP-binding cassette family of active transporters, lipidates apoE in the CNS. Abca1(-/-) mice have decreased lipid associated with apoE and increased amyloid deposition in several AD mouse models. We hypothesized that mice overexpressing ABCA1 in the brain would have increased lipidation of apoE-containing lipoproteins and decreased amyloid deposition. To address these hypotheses, we created PrP-mAbca1 Tg mice that overexpress mouse Abca1 throughout the brain under the control of the mouse prion promoter. We bred the PrP-mAbca1 mice to the PDAPP AD mouse model, a transgenic line overexpressing a mutant human amyloid precursor protein. PDAPP/Abca1 Tg mice developed a phenotype remarkably similar to that seen in PDAPP/Apoe(-/-) mice: there was significantly less amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) deposition, a redistribution of Abeta to the hilus of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus, and an almost complete absence of thioflavine S-positive amyloid plaques. Analyses of CSF from PrP-mAbca1 Tg mice and media conditioned by PrP-mAbca1 Tg primary astrocytes demonstrated increased lipidation of apoE-containing particles. These data support the conclusions that increased ABCA1-mediated lipidation of apoE in the CNS can reduce amyloid burden and that increasing ABCA1 function may have a therapeutic effect on AD.
A Novel Nickel(II) Complex Adopting acis-Configuration: Solvothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [NiL2(H2O)4] (L = 1,4-Dihydropyrazine-2,3-dione-5,6-dicarboxylate) (2002)

Under solvothermal reaction conditions, the reaction of 5,6-dichloropyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile and [Ni(ClO4)2]·6H2O produces a novel cis-nickel(II) complex [NiL2(H2O)4] (1) (L = 1,4-dihydropyrazine-2,3-dione-5,6-dicarboxylate), whereas only hydrated 1,4-dihydropyrazine-2,3-dione-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (2) was obtained as a single phase when [Cd(ClO4)2]·6H2O was used instead of [Ni(ClO4)2]·6H2O.

Row-splitting design of Low-Density Parity-Check Codes for Gbps wireless transmission (2007)

In this paper, we propose a design methodology of low-density parity check (LDPC) code for very high speed wireless transmission. To support various code rates with reasonable hardware a row-splitting/combining method is employed in conjunction with shortening. In row-splitting approach, a parity check matrix of a high rate mother LDPC code, saying rate 4/5, is designed first and then successively row-split the mother matrix to obtain lower rate codes. Shortening provides us another degree of freedom for rate and frame length flexibility for concatenation with MIMO system. The code performance is investigated in terms of frame error rate and compared with those of the LDPC code proposed in IEEE 802.16e standard.

GIL16, a New Gram-Positive Tectiviral Phage Related to the<i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i>GIL01 and the<i>Bacillus cereus</i>pBClin15 Elements (2005)

One of the most notable characteristics of Tectiviridae resides in their double-layer coats: the double-stranded DNA is located within a flexible lipoprotein vesicle covered by a rigid protein capsid. Despite their apparent rarity, tectiviruses have an extremely wide distribution compared to other phage groups. Members of this family have been found to infect gram-negative (PRD1 and relatives) as well as gram-positive (Bam35, GIL01, AP50, and phiNS11) hosts. Several reports have shown that tectiviruses infecting gram-negative bacteria are closely related, whereas no information is currently available on the genetic relationship among those infecting gram-positive bacteria. The present study reports the sequence of GIL16, a new isolate originating from Bacillus thuringiensis, and a genetic comparison of this isolate with the tectiviral bacteriophages Bam35 and GIL01, which originated from B. thuringiensis serovars Alesti and Israelensis, respectively. In contrast to PRD1 and its relatives, these are temperate bacteriophages existing as autonomous linear prophages within the host cell. Mutations in a particular motif in both the GIL01 and GIL16 phages are also shown to correlate with a switch to the lytic cycle. Interestingly, both bacterial viruses displayed narrow, yet slightly different, host spectrums. We also explore the hypothesis that pBClin15, a linear plasmid hosted by the Bacillus cereus reference strain ATCC 14579, is also a prophage. Sequencing of its inverted repeats at both extremities and a comparison with GIL01 and GIL16 emphasize its relationship to the Tectiviridae.
Extension of COSMO-SAC Solvation Model for Electrolytes (2010)

COSMO-based activity coefficient models such as COSMO-SAC (conductor-like screening model−segment activity coefficient) have been shown to be relatively successful predictive models for molecular systems. [As cited in Lin, S. T.; Sandler, S. I. Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2002, 41, 899−913 and Mullins, E. et al. Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2006, 45, 4389−4415.] In this study, we present an extension of COSMO-SAC to electrolytes (eCOSMO-SAC) that combines the COSMO-SAC term for short-range molecule−molecule, molecule−ion, and ion−ion interactions with the extended symmetric Pitzer−Debye−Hückel term for long-range ion−ion interactions. [As cited in Song, Y.; Chen, C.-C. Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2009, 48, 7788−7797.] The extension recognizes that like-ion repulsion and local electroneutrality govern the surface segment contacts, and it introduces a dual sigma profile concept for electrolyte systems. [Chen, C.-C. et al. AIChE J. 1982, 28, 588−596.] While the model formulation and parameters remain to be optimized with a greater selection of electrolytes, the eCOSMO-SAC predictions for a few representative electrolyte systems show trends that are in qualitative agreement with experimental data and those generated from the eNRTL model (as mentioned in the Song et al. work previously noted) and demonstrate essential characteristics that are consistent with the general behavior of electrolyte systems.
Theory and algorithm for generalized memory partitioning in high-level synthesis (2014)

The significant development of high-level synthesis tools has greatly facilitated FPGAs as general computing platforms. During the parallelism optimization for the data path, memory becomes a crucial bottleneck that impedes performance enhancement. Simultaneous data access is highly restricted by the data mapping strategy and memory port constraint. Memory partitioning can efficiently map data elements in the same logical array onto multiple physical banks so that the accesses to the array are parallelized. Previous methods for memory partitioning mainly focused on cyclic partitioning for single-port memory. In this work we propose a generalized memory-partitioning framework to provide high data throughput of on-chip memories. We generalize cyclic partitioning into block-cyclic partitioning for a larger design space exploration. We build the conflict detection algorithm on polytope emptiness testing, and use integer points counting in polytopes for intra-bank offset generation. Memory partitioning for multi-port memory is supported in this framework. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to the state-of-art partitioning algorithm, our proposed algorithm can reduce the number of block RAM by 19.58%, slice by 20.26% and DSP by 50%.
Soap Froths and Crystal Structures (2000)

We propose a physical mechanism to explain the crystal symmetries found in macromolecular and supramolecular micellar materials. We argue that the packing entropy of the hard micellar cores is frustrated by the entropic interaction of their brushlike coronas. The latter interaction is treated as a surface effect between neighboring Voronoi cells. The observed crystal structures correspond to the Kelvin and Weaire-Phelan minimal foams. We show that these structures are stable for reasonable areal entropy densities.
Therapeutic Efficacy of the Somatostatin Analog SMS 201-995 (Octreotide) in Acromegaly (1990)

Thrice-daily was more effective than twice-daily administration of octreotide, and dose increments above 100 micrograms thrice daily did not confer additional benefit. Biochemical remission was achieved in 40% of patients and was dependent on the GH concentration at initiation of treatment. Cholelithiasis is a risk of octreotide therapy. Octreotide is effective and can be considered as a first-line therapy in patients with acromegaly with mean pretherapy GH concentrations below 20 mIU/L. In patients with mean GH over 20 mIU/L, octreotide may be used as an adjuvant to surgery or radiotherapy.

Adaptive paging algorithms for cellular systems (2002)

Adaptive algorithms which optimize the paging activity in a cellular system are presented. The basic approach is to use fixed interval registration rather than location areas to track the mobile location and employ a two step paging algorithm: first, page only those cells the mobile is most likely to be in (paging zone), and if no page response is received from them, then page the rest of the system also. In this paper, a novel method of computing the optimal paging zones is presented. The mobile switching center (MSC) continuously collects page response data in the location accuracy matrix (LAM). Using the LAM data, the mean probability of locating the mobile in any cell of the system at the time of paging, given its last known cell is computed. Several algorithms that use these probabilities to compute the optimal paging zones are presented.
State Mandated Financial Education and the Credit Behavior of Young Adults (2014)

In the U.S., a number of states have mandated personal finance classes in public school curricula to address perceived deficiencies in financial decision-making competency. Despite the growth of financial and economic education provided in public schools, little is known about the effect of these programs on the credit behaviors of young adults. Using a panel of credit report data, we examine young adults in three states where personal financial education mandates were implemented in 2007: Georgia, Idaho, and Texas. We compare the credit scores and delinquency rates of young adults in each of these states pre- and post-implementation of the education to those of students in a synthetic control state and then bordering states without financial education. We find that young people who are in school after the implementation of a financial education requirement have higher relative credit scores and lower relative delinquency rates than those in control states.
Breast Carcinomas With Choriocarcinomatous Features: Case Reports and Review of the Literature (2002)

Breast cancer with choriocarcinomatous features is rare. This report describes four cases of breast cancer with choriocarcinomatous features. The tumor cells were positive for human placental lactogen (hPL) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by immunohistochemistry. The cases reported in the literature had a poor prognosis and the patients died within a few months after the diagnosis. In this series, two cases were lost to follow-up, but the other two have had disease-free survival for 2 and 4 years, respectively.
Isolation of Monoclonal Antibodies with Predetermined Conformational Epitope Specificity (2012)

Existing technologies allow isolating antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from B cells. We devised a direct approach to isolate mAbs with predetermined conformational epitope specificity, using epitope mimetics (mimotopes) that reflect the three-dimensional structure of given antigen subdomains. We performed differential biopanning using bacteriophages encoding random peptide libraries and polyclonal antibodies (Abs) that had been affinity-purified with either native or denatured antigen. This strategy yielded conformational mimotopes. We then generated mimotope-fluorescent protein fusions, which were used as baits to isolate single memory B cells from rhesus monkeys (RMs). To amplify RM immunoglobulin variable regions, we developed RM-specific PCR primers and generated chimeric simian-human mAbs with predicted epitope specificity. We established proof-of-concept of our strategy by isolating mAbs targeting the conformational V3 loop crown of HIV Env; the new mAbs cross-neutralized viruses of different clades. The novel technology allows isolating mAbs from RMs or other hosts given experimental immunogens or infectious agents.
Design of an efficient ambient WiFi energy harvesting system (2012)

This study is focused on equipping wireless devices (including sensors) with novel, high-efficiency circuitry to harvest and convert ambient radio frequency (RF) power to direct current (dc). Key components of this technology are (a) miniaturised antenna and (b) high-efficiency rectifying circuit. The first is responsible for capturing the RF waves, and the latter converts the RF energy to dc. A major challenge is the design of novel circuitry to generate a battery-like voltage from very low incoming RF energy. Under this study, the authors designed a novel RF power harvesting front-end whose conversion efficiency is significantly improved at low RF power levels (<−20 dBm) as compared to existing technologies. Thus, the new circuitry can harvest ambient and widely available RF energy, making a game changing technology for powering mobile devices. In this study, the authors demonstrate this technology by using it to power a commercially available temperature and humidity meter with an LCD display. The latter is powered using nothing more than ambient WiFi signals in an office environment.
Disease Amelioration With Tocilizumab in a Treatment-Resistant Patient With Neuromyelitis Optica (2012)

Tocilizumab might be effective in NMO, here in a patient not responding to leukocyte depletion. Our findings further support data that implicate IL-6 as a critical molecule in the immunopathogenesis of NMO, and a critical role for T cells in the pathogenesis of this disorder.
Azole Resistance in <i>Candida glabrata</i> : Coordinate Upregulation of Multidrug Transporters and Evidence for a Pdr1-Like Transcription Factor (2004)

Candida glabrata has emerged as a common cause of fungal infection. This yeast has intrinsically low susceptibility to azole antifungals such as fluconazole, and mutation to frank azole resistance during treatment has been documented. Potential resistance mechanisms include changes in expression or sequence of ERG11 encoding the azole target. Alternatively, resistance could result from upregulated expression of multidrug transporter genes; in C. glabrata these include CDR1 and PDH1. By RNA hybridization, 10 of 12 azole-resistant clinical isolates showed 6- to 15-fold upregulation of CDR1 compared to susceptible strains. In 4 of these 10 isolates PDH1 was similarly upregulated, and in the remainder it was upregulated three- to fivefold, while ERG11 expression was minimally changed. Laboratory mutants were selected on fluconazole-containing medium with glycerol as carbon source (to eliminate mitochondrial mutants). Similar to the clinical isolates, six of seven laboratory mutants showed unchanged ERG11 expression but coordinate CDR1-PDH1 upregulation ranging from 2- to 20-fold. Effects of antifungal treatment on gene expression in susceptible C. glabrata strains were also studied: azole exposure induced CDR1-PDH1 expression 4- to 12-fold. These findings suggest that these transporter genes are regulated by a common mechanism. In support of this, a mutation associated with laboratory resistance was identified in the C. glabrata homolog of PDR1 which encodes a regulator of multidrug transporter genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutation falls within a putative activation domain and was associated with PDR1 autoupregulation. Additional regulatory factors remain to be identified, as indicated by the lack of PDR1 mutation in a clinical isolate with coordinately upregulated CDR1-PDH1.
Multi-resolution based algorithms for low bit-rate image coding (2002)

Novel wavelet transform based schemes for coding still images and image sequences are presented. The still image codec uses a new efficient adaptive bit-plane run-length coding of the wavelet transform coefficients of images. The main merit of this coding scheme is its simplicity requiring no training or storage of codebooks and it outperforms the JPEG at low bit-rate. For image sequence coding, a very low bit-rate sub-band motion estimation/compensation video codec designed for colour video conferencing applications is presented. A full system with buffer feedback control is designed. Simulation results of transmitting colour image sequences at 9.6 to 19.2 kbit/s are given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
