Novel microwave devices and structures based on the transmission line approach of meta-materials (2003)

This paper is composed of two parts. In the first part, the fundamentals of ideal transmission lines (TL) meta-materials (NM) with their physical characteristics and the synthesis of practical artificial TL-MMs with their circuital characteristics are presented. A microstrip implementation of a composite right/left handed (CRLH) TL is shown. In the second part, several novel applications based on the theory of the first part are demonstrated: a backfire-to-endfire leaky wave antenna, a coupled-line coupler with arbitrary coupling, a compact enhanced-bandwidth hybrid ring, a dual-band inharmonic branch-line coupler and a negative reflection/refraction phase-conjugating array interface.

Terminal Uridyltransferase Enzyme Zcchc11 Promotes Cell Proliferation Independent of Its Uridyltransferase Activity (2011)

Zcchc11 is a uridyltransferase protein with enzymatic activity directed against diverse RNA species. On the basis of its known uridylation targets, we hypothesized that Zcchc11 might regulate cell proliferation. Confirming this, loss-of-function and complementary gain-of-function experiments consistently revealed that Zcchc11 promotes the transition from G(1) to S phase of the cell cycle. This activity takes place through both Rb-dependent and Rb-independent mechanisms by promoting the expression of multiple G(1)-associated proteins, including cyclins D(1) and A and CDK4. Surprisingly, a Zcchc11 construct with point mutations inactivating the uridyltransferase domain enhanced cell proliferation as effectively as wild-type Zcchc11. Furthermore, truncated mutant constructs revealed that the cell cycle effects of Zcchc11 were driven by the N-terminal region of the protein that lacks the RNA-binding domains and uridyltransferase activity of the full protein. Therefore, the N-terminal portion of Zcchc11, which lacks nucleotidyltransferase capabilities, is biologically active and mediates a previously unrecognized role for Zcchc11 in facilitating cell proliferation.
Iodide Uptake and Experimental 131I Therapy in Transplanted Undifferentiated Thyroid Cancer Cells Expressing the Na+/I- Symporter Gene (1997)

131I therapy is a widely accepted treatment for differentiated thyroid cancers which can accumulate iodide. We evaluated the efficiency of 131I therapy against tumors which are transfected with the Na+/I− symporter (NIS) gene. We transfected the rat NIS cDNA expression vector into malignantly transformed rat thyroid cells (FRTL-Tc) which do not concentrate iodide. The resultant cell line (Tc-rNIS) accumulated 125I 60-fold in vitro. The FRTL-Tc cells formed solid tumors after injection of cells into subcutaneous tissues of Fischer 344 rats. Tumors formed with Tc-rNIS cells accumulated up to 27.3% of total 125I administered, and concentrated 125I 11 to 27-fold in the tumors. Extracorporeal measurement of radioactivity in the tumors revealed that 125I accumulation peaked at 90 min, and decreased to half levels 6 h after the injections. To investigate the effect of 131I administration on the tumor growth, we injected Na131I 2 and 3 weeks after the transplantation of the cells. The Na131I did not change the tumor volume significantly in either the FRTL-Tc or the Tc-rNIS-induced tumors. The short (6 h) effective half life of 131I in the tumors diminished the radiation dose to the tumor cells. However, this approach may prove beneficial in the treatment of radiosensitive cancers, and could be employed diagnostically.
Video Assisted Coronary Bypass Surgery (1995)

An alternative way to revascularize coronary vessels is described, using arterial conduits without extracorporeal circulation. The heart is exposed via a small thoracotomy over the fifth left intercostal space. A thoracoscope is introduced into the thorax, to assist in the harvesting of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA). In selected patients with two or three vessel disease, the same procedure can be achieved on the right side, harvesting the right internal mammary artery to revascularize the right coronary artery. The gastroepiploic artery can be easily reached and used to revascularize the posterior descending artery, through a mini-subxiphoid median laparotomy. This technique was used to revascularize 30 patients from April 1994 to June 1995. All received a LIMA graft to the left anterior descending artery, and two had a free radial artery graft from the LIMA, sequentially bypassing the diagonal and obtuse marginal branches. There was neither perioperative mortality nor morbidity myocardial infarction. Fifteen patients were restudied angiographically before discharge. Average hospital stay was 43 +/- 11 hours.
Fibers from soybean protein and poly(vinyl alcohol) (1999)

Bicomponent fibers were wet-spun from soybean protein and poly(vinyl alcohol). The protein core of the spun bicomponent fiber was brittle and showed a high frequency of core breakage upon drawing. Our effort was then to study the soybean protein solution, with the aim of trying to understand the cause for fiber brittleness and to determine the optimum solution conditions for fiber spinning. The effects of alkali, urea, and sodium sulfite on the viscosity of the soybean protein solution were examined. The hydrolytic stability of the soybean protein solution was examined at various pH values at two temperatures (room temperature and 60°C). Both the viscosity and gel electrophoresis were used for this purpose. The degradation of the soybean protein and the existing microgels in the protein spinning solution were thought to be the causes for the poor fiber drawability. Extent of protein denaturation will also effect the fiber drawability. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 71: 11–19, 1999
Effects of the oestrogen antagonist tamoxifen on disease indices in systemic lupus erythematosus. (1984)

Sex hormones are possible determinants of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Hence treatment with tamoxifen, which competes for oestrogen receptors, was assessed in 11 female patients with stable SLE in a double-blind crossover trial. The indices used included clinical signs of SLE, renal function, leucocyte counts, serum antinuclear and anti-DNA activity, and serum levels of complement and immune complexes. No patient improved on tamoxifen and two deteriorated. Significant side effects were encountered. The trial yielded no evidence that tamoxifen had an ameliorative effect on clinical or laboratory indices of activity of SLE.
Monetization of infrastructures and services (2017)

The objective of this paper is to illustrate how to monetize infrastructures and services. This is achieved by a combination of measuring consumption, applying pricing strategies and client invoicing. Furthermore, a range of billing solutions are available in order to cover the Rating, Charging and Billing process. The focus here is on the comparison of solution based suitability, which depends on complexity of records and volume of transactions. RCB Cyclops, as an open source solution, is presented and evaluated in terms of data throughputs focusing on doubling host machines and yielding 70-80% boost in performance.
A GPU-based Framework for Real-time Free Viewpoint Television (2014)

Thesis addresses two main problems of Free Viewpoint TV: generation of arbitrary viewpoint in real-time and its delivery to end-user. For the first problem a GPU-based algorithm capable of generating free viewpoints from a network of fixed HD video cameras was developed. We used a space-sweep algorithm to estimate depth information. The view generation sub-system uses it to render new synthetic images for an arbitrary viewpoint. We show how the computations can be divided from each other and parallelized using CUDA. The tests for publicly available Microsoft sequence are provided. For the second problem, we proposed an open-source browser-based Free Viewpoint Video player. The player is implemented using WebGL where rendering is performed solely on a GPU. It is completely asynchronous - data retrieval from the server and rendering do not block the browser. The player fits perfectly into the presented framework and can greatly improve scalability.

Human preference learning by robot partners based on human localization (2012)

This paper discusses the human preference learning by robot partners through interaction with a person and human position based on sensor network. We use a robot music player; Miuro, and we focus on the music selection for providing the comfortable sound field for the person. We propose a learning method of the relationship between human position and its corresponding music selection based on Q-learning. Furthermore, we propose a steady-state genetic algorithm using template matching to extract a person in 3D distance image based on differential extraction. The experimental results show that the proposed method can learn the relationship between human position and its corresponding human preferable music.

Stress Responses as a Tool To Detect and Characterize the Mode of Action of Antibacterial Agents (1999)

Single-copy gene fusions between the lacZ reporter gene and Escherichia coli strains containing promoters induced by cold shock (cspA), cytoplasmic stress (ibp), or protein misfolding in the cell envelope (P3rpoH) were constructed and tested to determine their ability to detect antibacterial agents while simultaneously providing information on their cellular targets. Antibiotics that affect prokaryotic ribosomes selectively induced the cspA::lacZ or ibp::lacZ gene fusion, depending on their mode of action. The membrane-damaging peptide polymyxin B induced both the P3rpoH::lacZ and ibp::lacZ fusions, while the beta-lactam antibacterial agent carbenicillin activated only the P3rpoH promoter. Nalidixic acid, a compound that causes DNA damage, downregulated beta-galactosidase synthesis from P3rpoH but had little effect on expression of the reporter enzyme from either the cspA or ibp promoter. All model antibiotics could be identified over a wide range of sublethal concentrations with signal-to-noise ratios between 2 and 11. A blue halo assay was developed to rapidly characterize the modes of action of antibacterial agents by visual inspection, and this assay was used to detect chloramphenicol secreted into the growth medium of Streptomyces venezuelae cultures. This simple system holds promise for screening natural or combinatorial libraries of antimicrobial compounds.
Oligonucleotide Sequence-Specific Inhibition of Gene Expression, Tumor Growth Inhibition, and Modulation of cAMP Signaling by an RNA-DNA Hybrid Antisense Targeted to Protein Kinase A RIα Subunit (2000)

The primary mediator of cAMP action in mammalian cells is cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). There are two types of PKA, type I (PKA-I) and type II (PKA-II), which share a common catalytic subunit but contain distinct regulatory subunits, RI and RII, respectively. Evidence suggests that increased expression of RIalpha/PKA-I correlates with neoplastic cell growth. Here, we show that sequence-specific oligonucleotide inhibition of RIalpha expression results in inhibition of growth and modulation of cAMP signaling in cancer cells. The antisense promoted growth inhibition in a time-dependent, concentration-dependent, and sequence-dependent manner in human cancer cells in monolayer culture, and it inhibited colony formation in soft agar and tumor growth in nude mice. Among the cancer cells are LS-174T, HCT-15, and Colo-205 colon carcinoma cells; A-549 lung carcinoma cells; LNCaP prostate adenocarcinoma cells; Molt-4 leukemia cells; and Jurkat T lymphoma cells. Northern blot and immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that the growth inhibitory effect of the antisense correlated with a decrease in RIalpha expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. Pulse-chase experiments revealed that the antisense-directed inhibition of RIalpha expression resulted in compensatory changes in expression of the isoforms of R and C subunits and cAMP signaling in a cell type-specific manner. These results demonstrate that cAMP is ubiquitous in the regulation of cell growth and that the antisense oligonucleotide, which inhibits the synthesis of the RIalpha subunit of PKA, can be targeted to a single gene for treatment of cancer in a variety of cell types.
A Vaccine Based on a Modified Vaccinia Virus Ankara Vector Expressing Zika Virus Structural Proteins Controls Zika Virus Replication in Mice (2018)

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that affects humans and can cause severe neurological complications, including Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly. Since 2007 there have been three large outbreaks; the last and larger spread in the Americas in 2015. Actually, ZIKV is circulating in the Americas, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific Islands, and represents a potential pandemic threat. Given the rapid ZIKV dissemination and the severe neurological and teratogenic sequelae associated with ZIKV infection, the development of a safe and efficacious vaccine is critical. In this study, we have developed and characterized the immunogenicity and efficacy of a novel ZIKV vaccine based on the highly attenuated poxvirus vector modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) expressing the ZIKV prM and E structural genes (termed MVA-ZIKV). MVA-ZIKV expressed efficiently the ZIKV structural proteins, assembled in virus-like particles (VLPs) and was genetically stable upon nine passages in cell culture. Immunization of mice with MVA-ZIKV elicited antibodies that were able to neutralize ZIKV and induced potent and polyfunctional ZIKV-specific CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell responses that were mainly of an effector memory phenotype. Moreover, a single dose of MVA-ZIKV reduced significantly the viremia in susceptible immunocompromised mice challenged with live ZIKV. These findings support the use of MVA-ZIKV as a potential vaccine against ZIKV.

Supramolecular chemistry: Functional structures on the mesoscale (2001)

Supramolecular chemistry deals with the chemistry and collective behavior of organized ensembles of molecules. In this so-called mesoscale regime, molecular building blocks are organized into longer-range order and higher-order functional structures via comparatively weak forces. As one of the modern frontiers in chemistry, supramolecular chemistry heralds many promises that range from biocompatible materials and biomimetic catalysts to sensors and nanoscale fabrication of electronic devices.

Changes in PKM2 Associate with Prostate Cancer Progression (2014)

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is essential for aerobic glycolysis, the dominant metabolic pathway utilized by cancer cells. To determine the association of PKM2 with prostate cancer (PC), we examined 29 primary PC and three lymph node metastatic tumors; elevation of PKM2 was observed in Gleason 8-10 tumors compared to Gleason 6-7 carcinomas. High PKM2 was detected by immunohistochemistry in more aggressive xenograft tumors derived from PC stem-like cells (PCSCs) compared to those produced from non-PCSCs. While PCSCs and non-PCSCs expressed comparable levels of PKM2, distinct posttranslational modifications were observed. Collectively, upregulation and specific modification to PKM2 associate with PC progression.
Equivalent Circuits of a Self-Assembled Monolayer-Based Tunnel Junction Determined by Impedance Spectroscopy (2014)

The electrical characteristics of molecular tunnel junctions are normally determined by DC methods. Using these methods it is difficult to discriminate the contribution of each component of the junctions, e.g., the molecule-electrode contacts, protective layer (if present), or the SAM, to the electrical characteristics of the junctions. Here we show that frequency-dependent AC measurements, impedance spectroscopy, make it possible to separate the contribution of each component from each other. We studied junctions that consist of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-alkanethiolates (S(CH2)(n-1)CH3 ≡ SC(n) with n = 8, 10, 12, or 14) of the form Ag(TS)-SC(n)//GaO(x)/EGaIn (a protective thin (~0.7 nm) layer of GaO(x) forms spontaneously on the surface of EGaIn). The impedance data were fitted to an equivalent circuit consisting of a series resistor (R(S), which includes the SAM-electrode contact resistance), the capacitance of the SAM (C(SAM)), and the resistance of the SAM (R(SAM)). A plot of R(SAM) vs n(C) yielded a tunneling decay constant β of 1.03 ± 0.04 n(C)(-1), which is similar to values determined by DC methods. The value of C(SAM) is similar to previously reported values, and R(S) (2.9-3.6 × 10(-2) Ω·cm(2)) is dominated by the SAM-top contact resistance (and not by the conductive layer of GaO(x)) and independent of n(C). Using the values of R(SAM), we estimated the resistance per molecule r as a function of n(C), which are similar to values obtained by single molecule experiments. Thus, impedance measurements give detailed information regarding the electrical characteristics of the individual components of SAM-based junctions.
Racial Disparity in Natural Language Processing: A Case Study of Social Media African-American English (2017)

We highlight an important frontier in algorithmic fairness: disparity in the quality of natural language processing algorithms when applied to language from authors of different social groups. For example, current systems sometimes analyze the language of females and minorities more poorly than they do of whites and males. We conduct an empirical analysis of racial disparity in language identification for tweets written in African-American English, and discuss implications of disparity in NLP.
