Provably authenticated group Diffie-Hellman key exchange (2001)

Group Diffie-Hellman protocols for Authenticated Key Exchange (AKE) are designed to provide a pool of players with a shared secret key which may later be used, for example, to achieve multicast message integrity. Over the years, several schemes have been offered. However, no formal treatment for this cryptographic problem has ever been suggested. In this paper, we present a security model for this problem and use it to precisely define AKE (with "implicit" authentication) as the fundamental goal, and the entity-authentication goal as well. We then define in this model the execution of an authenticated group Diffie-Hellman scheme and prove its security.
Modulation by the Polyoxotungstate HPA-23 of Epstein--Barr Virus Early Antigen Expression in Raji Cells Treated with Iododeoxyuridine (1984)

The polyoxotungstate HPA-23 was found to exert a differential effect on the induction of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen in Raji cells induced with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR). Thus, treatment of Raji cells concomitantly with IUdR and HPA-23 inhibited early antigen expression, and the extent of inhibition was proportional to the duration of treatment with HPA-23. In contrast, pretreatment of Raji cells with HPA-23 prior to induction with IUdR stimulated early antigen expression in exponentially multiplying but not in stationary-phase cells. HPA-23 alone had no effect on early antigen expression in Raji cells. Activation of the latent Epstein-Barr virus genome by IUdR is dependent upon incorporation of the thymidine analogue into cellular DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Synthesis of Epstein-Barr virus DNA also takes place during S-phase, suggesting a possible participation in this process of cellular DNA polymerase alpha which is thought to be responsible for cellular DNA replication and the activity of which increases several-fold during S-phase. Treatment of Raji cells with HPA-23 caused a marked decrease in DNA polymerase alpha activity, which could result in an inhibition of IUdR incorporation leading to the observed reduction of early antigen expression in cells treated concomitantly with IUdR and HPA-23.
Structured Attention Guided Convolutional Neural Fields for Monocular Depth Estimation (2018)

Recent works have shown the benefit of integrating Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) models into deep architectures for improving pixel-level prediction tasks. Following this line of research, in this paper we introduce a novel approach for monocular depth estimation. Similarly to previous works, our method employs a continuous CRF to fuse multi-scale information derived from different layers of a front-end Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Differently from past works, our approach benefits from a structured attention model which automatically regulates the amount of information transferred between corresponding features at different scales. Importantly, the proposed attention model is seamlessly integrated into the CRF, allowing end-to-end training of the entire architecture. Our extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method which is competitive with previous methods on the KITTI benchmark and outperforms the state of the art on the NYU Depth V2 dataset.
<i>In-Vitro</i>Activity of Nisin Against Clinical Isolates of<i>Clostridium difficile</i> (2004)

Nisin is a cationic peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis. Its activity against clinical isolates of Clostridium difficile was compared to that of vancomycin and metronidazole by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and time-kill studies. Nisin was more active than the other agents, with a MIC90 of 0.256 mg/L and strong bactericidal activity. Nisin may be a promising agent for the management of C. difficile associated diarrhea.
A methodology to compute the statistical fault coverage of small delays due to opens (2009)

Resistive opens in vias and interconnection lines have become an issue in modern nanometer technologies. These defects may produce small delays which are difficult to detect and may pose a reliability problem. In this paper, a statistical timing analysis framework is used to analyze the detectability of small delays due to resistive opens considering process variations. A statistical methodology to estimate the fault coverage of these defects is proposed. In the statistical timing analysis framework, process variations are considered, which have become a critical issue affecting the performance and test of nanometer digital circuits. Inter-die and intra-die process variations are considered. Using the proposed methodology, the statistical fault coverage of resistive opens producing small delays is evaluated for some ISCAS benchmark circuits.
Optimal One-Bit Full Adders With Different Types of Gates (1974)

Optimal networks with thirty different types of restrictions are listed for the one-bit fuli adder. Optimality is derined as the minimization of the number of gates under different restrictions.
ON THE ETIOLOGY OF CLIMATES (1983)

A review of some of the conceptual and methodological progress that has been made in the area of climate research is presented. A discussion of current thinking on the etiology of climates follows, and an integrative conceptual scheme is developed. This perspective is based on Mead's (1934) symbolic interactionism as the process through which individuals come to attach meaning to events. Implications of this approach to the etiology of climates are discussed with respect to measurement issues, the management of climate acquisition in organizations, and the change and development of climates over time.
Formation and purification of tailored liposomes for drug delivery using a module-based micro continuous-flow system (2017)

Liposomes are lipid based bilayer vesicles that can encapsulate, deliver and release low-soluble drugs and small molecules to a specific target site in the body. They are currently exploited in several nanomedicine formulations. However, their development and application is still limited by expensive and time-consuming process development and production methods. Therefore, to exploit these systems more effectively and support the rapid translation of new liposomal nanomedicines from bench to bedside, new cost-effective and scalable production methods are needed. We present a continuous process flow system for the preparation, modification and purification of liposomes which offers lab-on-chip scale production. The system was evaluated for a range of small vesicles (below 300 nm) varying in lipid composition, size and charge; it offers effective and rapid nanomedicine purification with high lipid recovery (> 98%) combined with effective removal of non-entrapped drug (propofol >95% reduction of non-entrapped drug present) or protein (ovalbumin >90% reduction of OVA present) and organic solvent (ethanol >95% reduction) in less than 4 minutes. The key advantages of using this bench-top, rapid, process development tool are the flexible operating conditions, interchangeable membranes and scalable high-throughput yields, thereby offering simultaneous manufacturing and purification of nanoparticles with tailored surface attributes.
Differential expression of novel Gsα signal transduction protein cDNA species (1991)

The Gs alpha guanine nucleotide-binding signal transduction protein is part of a heterotrimeric complex that is involved in the stimulation of adenylate cyclase upon activation of membrane receptors. We report the characterization of 16 Gs alpha cDNA clones isolated from the human adult retina and fetal eye libraries. Molecular heterogeneity in the 5'-region defines four novel Gs alpha cDNA species which are generated either by alternate splicing or by using alternative promoter. The novel exons upstream of exon 2 interrupt the highly conserved 'region A' in the Gs alpha polypeptide. Non-AUG codons in the novel 5'-exon can initiate translation of these Gs alpha species in vitro. Reverse transcription of total RNA coupled with polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) using specific primers and in situ hybridization to mRNA in baboon tissue sections with a specific oligonucleotide probe show a high level of expression of these species in retina and brain but not in liver. Differential expression of alternatively spliced Gs alpha species suggests novel signal transducing pathways.
Cellular Heparan Sulfate Participates in the Metabolism of Prions (2003)

During prion diseases, the host protein PrPC is refolded into an abnormal conformer "prion" PrPSc. Histological and pharmacological data have suggested that glycosaminoglycans may be involved in the development of prion diseases. Here we present the first direct evidence that cellular glycosaminoglycans play a role in the biogenesis of PrPSc in prion-infected ScN2a cells. When ScN2a cells were incubated with estradiol beta-d-xyloside to inhibit the glycosylation of proteoglycans, PrPSc was vastly reduced. Treating ScN2a-M cells with heparinase III, but not with heparinase I or chondroitinase ABC, caused a profound reduction of PrPSc. In contrast, neither the amount of PrPC nor its subcellular distribution were affected as assayed by immunofluorescence microscopy and flotation procedures. In vitro treatment of ScN2a membranes with heparinase III at either neutral or acidic pH did not reduce the level of protease-resistant PrPSc. The inhibitor of sulfation, sodium chlorate, vastly reduces PrPSc in ScN2a cells (Gabizon, R., Meiner, Z., Halimi, M., and Ben-Sasson, S. A. (1993) J. Cell. Physiol. 157, 319-325). Both soluble heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate partially restored the level of PrPSc in chlorate-treated cells. We conclude that heparinase III-sensitive, presumably undersulfated, cellular heparan sulfate plays a significant role in the biogenesis of PrPSc in ScN2a cells.
Electro-Optic Frequency Translators And Their Applications In Coherent Optical Fibre Systems (1986)

The operating principles and performance of waveguide Mach-Zehnder frequency translators suitable for use in coherent optical fibre systems are described. The performance of a coherent optical fibre system transmitting analogue colour video signals and employing a Mach-Zehnder electro-optic waveguide device as a double sideband suppressed carrier frequency modulator is reported. It is shown that the receiver sensitivity of such a system may be as much as 21 dB greater than that for an equivalent direct detection system. The use of electro-optic frequency translators in coherent optical networks to assemble a frequency multiplex of wideband signals is described. Particular attention is given to the linearity of devices, in systems employing up to four channels, and it is shown that unwanted products can be suppressed to 30 dB below the signal level. The use of this type of device as a frequency control element in optical multichannel networks is also considered.
Pediatric Growth Assessment with Various Biological Ages and their Correlation with Food Habits and Socio-Economic Strata (2011)

Determination of a child's growth and development are of paramount value for the purpose of treatment planning in Paediatric Dentistry. For the purpose of age assessment, knowledge of only the chronological age is often inaccurate. The concept of biological age is believed to be more conclusive since it is based upon the degree of maturation of different tissue systems. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the various biological ages on the basis of socio-economic strata and nutritional levels.
Progress in redox flow batteries, remaining challenges and their applications in energy storage (2012)

Redox flow batteries, which have been developed over the last 40 years, are used to store energy on the medium to large scale, particularly in applications such as load levelling, power quality control and facilitating renewable energy deployment. Various electrode materials and cell chemistries have been proposed; some of the successful systems have been demonstrated on a large-scale in the range of 10 kW–10 MW. Enhanced performance is attributable to the improvements in electrodes, separator materials and an increasing awareness of cell design. This comprehensive review provides a summary of the overall development of redox flow battery technology, including proposed chemistries, cell components and recent applications. Remaining challenges and directions for further research are highlighted.
Simulation of images by photometric stereo modeling (1991)

A cost-effective method of synthesizing images of arbitrary complexity is described that combines high-resolution depth maps of scale model scenes with reflectivity data. A small scale model is made of a scene of interest. Regions of the model are textured according to the type of surface they will represent. The model is digitized under different iilumination directions, and a depth map is calculated by photometric stereo. Tables of reflectivity and/or emissivity data for scene materials are cornbined with the surface gradient map and flight geometry information to yield an intensity image at any desired wavelength, after which various kinds of noise can be incorporated into the image. The method is discussed with respect to the simulation of airborne active thermal infrared images of surface-laid minefields. However, no specialized sensors are necessary, and the method can be used for active or passive sensors of any wavelength, provided reflectivity or emissivity values are published or can be measured. The method may be also applied to the generation of images that are more general than aerial views of terrain.
Integrated Fluorescence Sensing for Lab-on-a-chip Devices (2006)

A low noise optical sensor and biocompatible microscale optical filters for integrated fluorescence sensors were developed and tested. The sensor was fabricated in a 0.5 mum CMOS process. The measured reset noise of the sensor is reduced by a factor of 10 compared to conventional active pixel sensors. The transmission ratio in the pass-band and suppression ratio in the stop-band of the optical filters are comparable to that of macroscopic commercial filters for fluorescence microscopy
Complete genome sequence of Methanoplanus petrolearius type strain (SEBR 4847T) (2010)

Methanoplanus petrolearius Ollivier et al. 1998 is the type strain of the genus Methanoplanus. The strain was originally isolated from an offshore oil field from the Gulf of Guinea. Members of the genus Methanoplanus are of interest because they play an important role in the carbon cycle and also because of their significant contribution to the global warming by methane emission in the atmosphere. Like other archaea of the family Methanomicrobiales, the members of the genus Methanoplanus are able to use CO(2) and H(2) as a source of carbon and energy; acetate is required for growth and probably also serves as carbon source. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the family Methanomicrobiaceae and the sixth complete genome sequence from the order Methanomicrobiales. The 2,843,290 bp long genome with its 2,824 protein-coding and 57 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Trends and Dietary Determinants of Overweight and Obesity in a Multiethnic Population (2006)

In this large ethnically diverse population, plant-based foods and dietary fiber emerged as a potential protective factor against excess weight regardless of ethnicity.
Fast Fmoc synthesis of hAmylin<sub>1–37</sub> with pseudoproline assisted on‐resin disulfide formation (2007)

Human amylin (1-37) and the (1-13) fragment were synthesized with and without pseudoproline dipeptides. Thallium (III) trifluoroacetate, a mild oxidant, was used to cyclize the peptides by forming a disulfide bridge from C(2) to C(7). On the basis of our model studies, incorporation of a pseudoproline dipeptide decreases the amount of time necessary for the crude linear amylin (1-13) to cyclize on the resin. Without pseudoproline dipeptides, the 1-37 crude linear amylin was not pure enough to undergo the cyclization reaction. Following the cyclization studies, the synthesis time of the linear human amylin (1-37) was systematically reduced from 58 h to 8.5 h by shortening the reaction times. Cyclization and cleavage times were also reduced to 1.5 h.
Modification of Textile Materials with Micro- and Nano-Structural Metal Oxides (2008)

Nanotechnology offers the possibility of rendering textiles certain properties which protect humans and their natural environment. Nano-particles of metal oxides – titanium oxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) – belong to a group of compounds showing photocathalytic properties i.e, the ability to absorb UV radiation and antibacterial properties. The aim of this research work, carried out by the Textile Research Institute, was the development of nano-structural textile composites with barrier properties. In the first stage of the research, the morphology and micro-structure of titanium dioxide before and after modification with aminosilane were determined at the Institute of Technology and Chemical Engineering at Poznan University of Technology. Further works focused on the development of: compositions of optimal dispersion containing ZnO and TiO2 nano-particles and the methodology of nano-particle incorporation into selected textile substrates. Antibacterial properties were evaluated using the gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The evaluation also concerned the ability to block UV radiation by textile materials modified with nanoparticles of metal oxides. The works performed proved the possibility of manufacturing a new generation of textile nano-composites with barrier properties against UV radiation and bacterial development.
Computing Exact Discrete Minimal Surfaces: Extending and Solving the Shortest Path Problem in 3D with Application to Segmentation (2006)

Shortest path algorithms on weighted graphs have found widespread use in the computer vision literature. Although a shortest path may be found in a 3D weighted graph, the character of the path as an object boundary in 2D is not preserved in 3D. An object boundary in three dimensions is a (2D) surface. Therefore, a discrete minimal surface computation is necessary to extend shortest path approaches to 3D data in applications where the character of the path as a boundary is important. This minimal surface problem finds natural application in the extension of the intelligent scissors/ live wire segmentation algorithm to 3D. In this paper, the discrete minimal surface problem is both formulated and solved on a 3D graph. Specifically, we show that the problem may be formulated as a linear programming problem that is computed efficiently with generic solvers.
Neural Restaurant-aware Dish Recommendation (2020)

Food is the first necessity of the people. Due to the fast-paced modern life, people usually choose to dine out for convenience. While existing methods have paid efforts for the food recommendation, they are mainly limited in inferring users' personal preferences for online recipes, and ignore the dish ordering process in dine-out scenarios. Given the same recipe, different restaurants may produce various tastes due to food cuisines or chefs' cooking habits. In the current restaurant, users' general favored dish may have bad word-of-mouth. Thus, apart from their personal taste preferences, users also turn to restaurant specialties to guarantee the dish quality. As such, the restaurant-related dish quality and users' personal taste should be considered simultaneously. To address this task, we propose a neural restaurant-aware dish recommender to infer users' preferences for dishes in a specific restaurant. Given a dish in the current restaurant, whether to order it or not is mainly decided by two factors: users' personal taste and the dish quality in this restaurant. Our proposed model can: 1) capture users' personal diet preferences by the strong expressiveness of neural networks; 2) evaluate how good the current restaurant is at cooking certain dishes. To show the effectiveness of our proposed model, we conduct extensive experiments on a real dataset, demonstrating significant improvements over the several competing models, such as NCF with an average improvement of 36%, and PITF with 3.4%.

Rapid, high efficiency isolation of pancreatic ß-cells (2015)

The ability to isolate pure pancreatic ß-cells would greatly aid multiple areas of diabetes research. We developed a fluorescent exendin-4-like neopeptide conjugate for the rapid purification and isolation of functional mouse pancreatic β-cells. By targeting the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor with the fluorescent conjugate, β-cells could be quickly isolated by flow cytometry and were >99% insulin positive. These studies were confirmed by immunostaining, microscopy and gene expression profiling on isolated cells. Gene expression profiling studies of cytofluorometrically sorted β-cells from 4 and 12 week old NOD mice provided new insights into the genetic programs at play of different stages of type-1 diabetes development. The described isolation method should have broad applicability to the β-cell field.
