Web based remote security system (WRSS) model development (2002)

Security of homes, businesses, commercial, and industrial organizations has been of utmost importance. At Florida International University, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, a Web based remote security system (WRSS) model is being developed by the authors. Proper electronic sensors are installed to detect fire, smoke, physical break-in, and other similar security risks. In addition, proper audio and video monitoring of the property is setup. Information from all these sensors is dynamically sent to a remote security server, using the wireless and the Internet technologies. This information can be accessed by the owners of the property or their designates through the World Wide Web browsing, with proper password and other identification schemes. Irrespective of the physical location, the owners can observe their property through the Web. This will provide a method of observing the condition of their property or business any time on the Web by the owners or their agents. Also, in case of a security violation such as fire or theft, a paging signal can be sent to the owners or the designated agencies to access the Web site of the property. This instantly provides the status of the property and the law enforcement and other agencies can better react to the crisis. In this paper, the authors present the architecture of the Web based security monitoring system with hardware and software methodologies used. Also, practical case studies are presented.
3C Protease of Enterovirus D68 Inhibits Cellular Defense Mediated by Interferon Regulatory Factor 7 (2015)

EV-D68 is a globally emerging pathogen, but the molecular basis of EV-D68 pathogenesis is unclear. Here we report that EV-D68 inhibits innate immune responses by targeting an immune factor, IRF7. This involves the 3C protease encoded by EV-D68, which mediates the cleavage of IRF7. These observations suggest that the 3C(pro)-IRF7 interaction may represent an interface that dictates EV-D68 infection.
Influence of variations in projection geometry on the detectability of periodontal bone lesions (1984)

The influence of differences in imaging geometry on the detection of small periodontal bone lesions was studied when using a digital subtraction technique. The results were compared with those from conventional radiographs. Reference radiographs were obtained on human mandibular jaws before small lesions were made in the marginal alveolar bone. Subsequent radiographs were taken with the same imaging projection as well as with changes of the angulation in either vertical, or horizontal direction, or both. 10 dentists served as observers, who compared the conventional radiographs taken before and after the lesions were made, and registered the presence or absence of lesions using a diagnostic rating scale. The conventional radiographs were digitized, and subtraction images made. These images were interpreted by the same observers. For each observer, image modality and projection, the resulting rates of true positive and false positive diagnoses were plotted on a graph. The area under the curve, obtained by connecting the paired values of true positive and false positive results associated with the different diagnostic ratings, was used as a measure of diagnostic accuracy. Statistically significant differences could be demonstrated between the results obtained from the subtraction images, whether produced from identical or non-identical pairs of conventional radiographs, and the results from the conventional radiographs obtained under ideal conditions.
Attacks on GPS Time Reliability (2014)

Malicious events can cause GPS signals to be lost altogether or deliberately incorrect. This article examines two types of such events--jamming and spoofing--and possible defenses against them.
All-Optical DPSK Signal Regeneration Based on Cross-Phase Modulation (2004)

We present a concept for all-optical differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signal regeneration, which reduces amplitude jitter and preserves phase information. At first, we consider a configuration to regenerate optical signals based on spectral broadening by self-phase modulation (SPM). An analytical approach of the induced phase shift demonstrates why SPM is not suitable for DPSK signal regeneration. We derive conditions for DPSK signal regeneration and present a configuration based on cross-phase modulation. Amplitude jitter is reduced effectively while preserving DPSK phase information. Numerical simulations prove the results and demonstrate the performance of DPSK signal regeneration.
Forecasting Natural Gas Prices Using Wavelets, Time Series, and Artificial Neural Networks (2015)

Following the unconventional gas revolution, the forecasting of natural gas prices has become increasingly important because the association of these prices with those of crude oil has weakened. With this as motivation, we propose some modified hybrid models in which various combinations of the wavelet approximation, detail components, autoregressive integrated moving average, generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity, and artificial neural network models are employed to predict natural gas prices. We also emphasize the boundary problem in wavelet decomposition, and compare results that consider the boundary problem case with those that do not. The empirical results show that our suggested approach can handle the boundary problem, such that it facilitates the extraction of the appropriate forecasting results. The performance of the wavelet-hybrid approach was superior in all cases, whereas the application of detail components in the forecasting was only able to yield a small improvement in forecasting performance. Therefore, forecasting with only an approximation component would be acceptable, in consideration of forecasting efficiency.
Some enzymatic activities associated with purified parapoxvirions (1983)

Purified virions of milker's nodule virus, a parapoxvirus, were shown to contain an RNA polymerase, a nucleotide phosphohydrolase, and a protein kinase associated with or encapsulated within the DNA-containing core of the virus. In vitro, the activated viral RNA polymerase transcribed only 7 to 8% of the genome, in the form of 8S to 14S polyadenylated RNA molecules which were complementary to sequences present in milker's nodule virus DNA but not vaccinia virus DNA or DNA prepared from the host cells in which the virus was propagated. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis showed that in vitro, the activated viral protein kinase phosphorylated viral polypeptides of 95, 60, 33.5, 15, and 13.8 kilodaltons.

Bioformulation of Burkholderia sp. MSSP with a multispecies consortium for growth promotion of Cajanus cajan (2007)

The present work was undertaken to formulate an effective bioformulation using Burkholderia sp. strain MSSP, a known plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium. MSSP was tagged with the reporter gene of green fluorescent protein (gfp) to monitor its population in cost-effective solid carriers, including sugarcane-bagasse, sawdust, cocoa peat, rice husk, wheat bran, charcoal, and rock phosphate, and paneer-whey as liquid carrier. Physical and chemical properties of different low-cost carrier materials were studied. The viability of the green fluorescent tagged variant of MSSP was estimated in different sterile carrier materials. Whey and wheat bran proved to be efficient carrier materials for the bioformulation. Sawdust, rock phosphate, rice husk, and cocoa peat were average, while charcoal and sugarcane-bagasse proved to be inferior carriers. The viability of strain MSSP was also assessed in wheat bran and whey-based consortium, having three other bacterial strains, namely Sinorhizobium meliloti PP3, Rhizobium leguminosarum Pcc, and Bacillus sp. strain B1. Presence of other plant-growth-promoting bacteria did not have any detrimental effect on the viability of MSSP. Efficiency of the wheat-bran-based multispecies consortium was studied on the growth of pigeonpea in field conditions. A considerable increase in plant biomass, nodule number and weight, and number of pods was recorded as compared with individual trials and with the control.
Electrochemical Properties of Intermetallic Phases and Common Impurity Elements in Magnesium Alloys (2010)

The electrochemical properties of the key intermetallic particles that form in commercial Mg alloys are presented. Results were collected via microcapillary electrochemical testing upon bulk intermetallic analogs in dilute chloride solution. The intermetallics investigated were , , , , , , , , and . It was found that the intermetallic phases, with the exception of , were more noble than Mg, supporting increased levels of cathodic kinetics; however, the variation in electrochemical response between intermetallics was large in terms of corrosion potential, presence of a passive window, and currents sustained over a range of potentials.
High energy heavy-ion-induced single event transients in epitaxial structures (1994)

This paper describes numerical and experimental heavy-ion charge collection studies using P/sup +/N junctions on epitaxial layers. The numerical simulations provide insights into the basic mechanisms contributing to transient currents and charge collection in devices on epitaxial layers. This paper also presents charge collection data from /spl sim/2 GeV /sup 127/I ions incident upon P/sup +/N junctions on both bulk silicon and epitaxial layers and compares the experimental data with the simulation results. The experimental data show that charge deposited below the epitaxial layer can be collected. This work is unique and important because this GeV-energy-range /sup 127/I ion more nearly represents a cosmic ray compared to lower energy, heavy-ions in the hundreds of MeV energy range. This paper also discusses the simulation results with respect to the experimental data and charge collection models for epitaxial transistors. Additionally, a shunting model is proposed to model the early transient current responses.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
[Competence in nursing and its significance for professionalization]. (1995)

The occupation of nursing is in an advanced stage of change. Demands for autonomy are manifest in the attempt to make nursing scientific. This results in raising the question, among others, of defining what it is about competence which makes it possible to call nursing a profession. Looking at developmental models, at the theory of socialisation one finds, typical of professions, congruence of head, heart and hand (cognitive, moral-communicative and pragmatic competence). An attempt is made to demonstrate that moral competence has the most important place because justice and caring form the nucleus of nursing models, within a framework of advocatorial ethics. Nursing loses its purpose if it is dominated by rationale of outcome and by the pragmatism of routine action. Professionalisation of nursing can make progress if research can provide valid arguments for autonomy, based on the competence paradigm described here.
The relevance of using the C3d/immunoglobulin G test in clinical intervention. (2015)

Overall, patients' well-being improved when C3d/IgG food sensitivity decreased as a result of an exclusion diet, demonstrating that food removal based on the C3d/IgG test could be an effective approach to patients' care.
zeta-COP, a subunit of coatomer, is required for COP-coated vesicle assembly. (1993)

cDNA encoding the 20-kD subunit of coatomer, zeta-COP, predicts a protein of 177-amino acid residues, similar in sequence to AP17 and AP19, subunits of the clathrin adaptor complexes. Polyclonal antibody directed to zeta-COP blocks the binding of coatomer to Golgi membranes and prevents the assembly of COP-coated vesicles on Golgi cisternae. Unlike other coatomer subunits (beta-, beta'-, gamma-, and epsilon-COP), zeta-COP exists in both coatomer bound and free pools.
Human CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Lymphocytes Inhibit Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Monocyte Survival through a Fas/Fas Ligand-Dependent Mechanism (2006)

Although it is known that septic shock induces immunosuppression, the mechanism for this phenomenon is not well understood. Monocytes play a central role in septic shock pathophysiology, which is also characterized by an increased proportion of natural regulatory T (Treg) cells. We therefore investigated whether Treg could be involved in the decreased monocyte expression of CD14 and HLA-DR observed during septic shock. We demonstrated that human Treg inhibit LPS-induced retention of monocyte CD14. Because loss of CD14 is a hallmark of monocyte apoptosis, this suggests that Treg inhibit monocyte survival. This effect was largely mediated through the release of a soluble mediator that was not identical with either IL-10 or IL-4. The Fas/FasL pathway participated in the effect as it was blocked by anti-FasL Abs and reproduced by Fas agonist and recombinant soluble FasL. Furthermore, expression of FasL was much higher on Treg than on their CD25(-) counterparts. Collectively, these results indicate that Treg act on monocytes by inhibiting their LPS-induced survival through a proapoptotic mechanism involving the Fas/FasL pathway. This may be an important mechanism for septic shock-induced immunosuppression and may offer new perspectives for the treatment of this deadly disease.
Metabolic diseases and pro- and prebiotics: Mechanistic insights (2012)

Metabolic diseases, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, are world-wide health problems. The prevalence of metabolic diseases is associated with dynamic changes in dietary macronutrient intake during the past decades. Based on national statistics and from a public health viewpoint, traditional approaches, such as diet and physical activity, have been unsuccessful in decreasing the prevalence of metabolic diseases. Since the approaches strongly rely on individual's behavior and motivation, novel science-based strategies should be considered for prevention and therapy for the diseases. Metabolism and immune system are linked. Both overnutrition and infection result in inflammation through nutrient and pathogen sensing systems which recognize compounds with structural similarities. Dietary macronutrients (fats and sugars) can induce inflammation through activation of an innate immune receptor, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Long-term intake of diets high in fats and meats appear to induce chronic systemic low-grade inflammation, endotoxicity, and metabolic diseases. Recent investigations support the idea of the involvement of intestinal bacteria in host metabolism and preventative and therapeutic potentials of probiotic and prebiotic interventions for metabolic diseases. Specific intestinal bacteria seem to serve as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sources through LPS and/or bacterial translocation into the circulation due to a vulnerable microbial barrier and increased intestinal permeability and to play a role in systemic inflammation and progression of metabolic diseases. This review focuses on mechanistic links between metabolic diseases (mainly obesity and type 2 diabetes), chronic systemic low-grade inflammation, intestinal environment, and nutrition and prospective views of probiotic and prebiotic interventions for the diseases.
Implant site infection rates with porous and dense materials (1979)

The infection rate of implant sites bearing porous and dense implants was studied in mice. In the first model (acute infection) the mice were injected with Staphylococcus aureus subcutaneously at the implant site at the time of implantation. In the second (chronic) model the implants were left in place for four weeks for encapsulation or invasion to occur and then the organisms were inoculated. In the acute model the infection rate with the porous materials was greater. In the chronic model after tissue invasion the infection rate with the dense materials was greater. This supports the hypothesis that microorganisms can evade host defense mechanisms if they enter the pores of the implant before tissue invasion, but that once the implant is invaded with host tissue the bacteria are less apt to establish infection.
A Hundred Enterprises at the Ready, One to Take the Lead (1991)

In terms of economic growth, the backwardness of backward regions is exhibited in the overall underdevelopment of industry, agriculture, transport and communications, commerce and the catering and service industries. Also in terms of economic growth, the end result of boosting the economy should be the comprehensive invigoration of all these sectors. This much is clear. What we need to address now are the intrinsic organic links which hold between the different sectors. Industrial growth cannot be divorced from the development of agriculture or transport and communications, neither can the growth of the infrastructure be separated from the expansion of manufacturing and production, and vice versa. In the transition from economic backwardness to economic invigoration, we need to select a 'leading' sector which, through its intrinsic organic links with other sectors, will direct the development of all other sectors and consequently activate the national economy overall. This is generally known as selecting the orientation of the economy.KeywordsCapital AccumulationVicious CircleSpare PartLocal InhabitantNatural EconomyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Motor sequence learning: a study with positron emission tomography (1994)

We have used positron emission tomography to study the functional anatomy of motor sequence learning. Subjects learned sequences of keypresses by trial and error using auditory feedback. They were scanned with eyes closed under three conditions: at rest, while performing a sequence that was practiced before scanning until overlearned, and while learning new sequences at the same rate of performance. Compared with rest, both sequence tasks activated the contralateral sensorimotor cortex to the same extent. Comparing new learning with performance of the prelearned sequence, differences in activation were identified in other areas. (1) Prefrontal cortex was only activated during new sequence learning. (2) Lateral premotor cortex was significantly more activated during new learning, whereas the supplementary motor area was more activated during performance of the prelearned sequence. (3) Activation of parietal association cortex was present during both motor tasks, but was significantly greater during new learning. (4) The putamen was equally activated by both conditions. (5) The cerebellum was activated by both conditions, but the activation was more extensive and greater in degree during new learning. There was an extensive decrease in the activity of prestriate cortex, inferotemporal cortex, and the hippocampus in both active conditions, when compared with rest. These decreases were significantly greater during new learning. We draw three main conclusions. (1) The cerebellum is involved in the process by which motor tasks become automatic, whereas the putamen is equally activated by sequence learning and retrieval, and may play a similar role in both. (2) When subjects learn new sequences of motor actions, prefrontal cortex is activated. This may reflect the need to generate new responses. (3) Reduced activity of areas concerned with visual processing, particularly during new learning, suggests that selective attention may involve depressing the activity of cells in modalities that are not engaged by the task.
