A feasibility study of altered spatial distribution of losses induced by eddy currents in body composition analysis (2010)

At higher frequencies the major signal contribution can be shifted toward outer shell volume. This enables probing the conductivity distribution of the subject by weighting outer structural components. The authors expect that the loss changing rate over frequency can be a potential index for body composition analysis.
Comparison of Immunogenicities of Recombinant<i>Plasmodium vivax</i>Merozoite Surface Protein 1 19- and 42-Kilodalton Fragments Expressed in<i>Escherichia coli</i> (2004)

The 42- and 19-kDa C-terminal fragments of merozoite surface protein 1 (MSP-1(42) and MSP-1(19), respectively) are both promising blood-stage vaccine candidate antigens. At present, it is not clear which of the two antigens will be more suitable for inclusion in a cocktail malaria vaccine. In the present study, we expressed the two C-terminal fragments of Plasmodium vivax MSP-1 (PvMSP-1) in an Escherichia coli expression system and purified them by using a rapid two-step protocol. Both of the products were recognized by monoclonal antibodies against PvMSP-1 as well as by immune sera from several individuals exposed to P. vivax. We analyzed and compared the immunological responses to recombinant PvMSP-1(19) and PvMSP-1(42) in mice by using six different adjuvant formulations. Moderate to high antibody responses were observed with both of the antigens in different adjuvant formulations. Surprisingly, alum, which is generally considered to be a poor adjuvant for recombinant malaria antigens, was found to be as good an adjuvant as Montanide ISA 720, ASO2A, and other adjuvant formulations. Most adjuvant formulations induced high levels of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), followed by IgG3 and IgG2. Lymphocytes from animals in the PvMSP-1(42)- and PvMSP-1(19)-immunized groups showed proliferative responses upon stimulation with the respective antigens, and high levels of interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, and gamma interferon were detected in the culture supernatants. Immunodepletion studies with sera from mice immunized with these two antigens showed that while immunization with PvMSP-1(42) does produce a PvMSP-1(19)-specific response, a substantial portion is also focused on structures in PvMSP-1(42) not represented by the epidermal growth factor-like domains of PvMSP-1(19). These findings may have implications for the design of MSP-1-based vaccine constructs.
Experimental demonstration of artificial dielectrics with a high index of refraction (2006)

Recently, it has been suggested that metamaterials with high refractive index can be constructed using metal gratings with periodic subwavelength slits [J. T. Shen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett 94, 197401 (2005)]. We designed such metamaterials and investigate their transmittance and reflectance in the terahertz frequency range. The spectra can be directly compared to that of a conventional dielectric slab with effective refractive index of $n\ensuremath{\simeq}5.5$. As theoretically predicted, the effective index of refraction only depends on the ratio of the width of the slits to the periodicity of the gratings. Existing small differences to the dielectric slab are discussed.
High prevalence of celiac sprue-like HLA-DQ genes and enteropathy in patients with the microscopic colitis syndrome (2000)

A shared set of predisposing HLA-DQ genes account for the epidemiological overlap of celiac sprue and microscopic colitis. Mild to moderate mononuclear cell inflammation of the small intestine, often accompanied by partial or subtotal villous atrophy, is frequent in patients with the microscopic colitis syndrome. Although further studies will be necessary to determine if this enteropathy is induced by dietary gluten, we speculate that the small intestinal but not colonic histopathology in patients with microscopic colitis is caused by immunological gluten sensitivity.
Ensuring Data Security And Consistency In Ftima - A Fault Tolerant Infrastructure For Mobile Agents (2007)

Transaction management is one of the most crucial requirements for enterprise application development which often require concurrent access to distributed data shared amongst multiple application / nodes. Transactions guarantee the consistency of data records when multiple users or processes perform concurrent operations. Existing Fault Tolerance Infrastructure for Mobile Agents (FTIMA) provides a fault tolerant behavior in distributed transactions and uses multi-agent system for distributed transaction and processing. In the existing FTIMA architecture, data flows through the network and contains personal, private or confidential information. In banking transactions a minor change in the transaction can cause a great loss to the user. In this paper we have modified FTIMA architecture to ensure that the user request reaches the destination server securely and without any change. We have used triple DES for encryption/ decryption and MD5 algorithm for validity of message.
Laboratory Investigation of the Oxygen Combustion Process for Heavy Oil Recovery (1982)

Abstract The laboratory investigations were conducted using core material and produced oil from a typical Alberta heavy oil reservoir. The experiments produced oil from a typical Alberta heavy oil reservoir. The experiments established combustion characteristics using air and the CTD process for thermal oil recovery. Both the combustion and CTD tests indicated the oil's favorable response to thermal recovery. The results of laboratory studies using oxygen and oxygen with water injection have indicated that the enriched air process, as Ramey suggested almost thirty years ago, is not only viable as an oil recovery method, but the process is also highly desirable. Introduction The in-situ combustion process has been thoroughly described in the literature over the last three decades. Early investigators used various methods for control of the combustion process. Sinclair's early field experiments in Kansas and Oklahoma advocated use of the heat wave process to control combustion variables. Volumes of air, gas and recycled gas were used to propagate a flame front through the reservoir. Worthington and the Forrest Oil Company used gas, air and steam in their 1953 field test in Illinois. Air was injected in the forward combustion process developed by Magnolia and General Petroleum in early field tests in Oklahoma and California. From these diverse, yet similar, pilot projects, Ramey suggested several alternate operational schemes for in-situ combustion. One of these proposals was to inject air enriched with oxygen. Distinct improvement in combustion techniques came in the early 1960's when Tejas Engineers pilot tested the Combination Thermal Drive (CTD) process using air-water injection and AMOCO developed the COFCAW process. process using air-water injection and AMOCO developed the COFCAW process. To further enhance combustion drive, Dome Petroleum Limited initiated reservoir and laboratory studies to determine the process variables using oxygen as the injected gas. Several laboratory combustion tube experiments have been made using air, air and water, oxygen and oxygen-water injection.

Certain alternative therapies for unexplained chronic fatigue, especially yoga, deserve testing in randomized controlled trials.
Microparticle-based Biochemical Sensing Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Deep Learning (2020)

ABSTRACT Advancing continuous health monitoring beyond vital signs to biochemistry will revolutionize personalized medicine. Herein, we report a novel platform to achieve remote biochemical monitoring using microparticle-based biosensors and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Stimuli-responsive, polymeric microparticles were designed to serve as freely-dispersible biorecognition units, wherein binding with a target biochemical induces volumetric changes of the microparticle. Analytical approaches to detect these sub-micron changes in 3D using OCT were devised by modeling the microparticle as an optical cavity, enabling estimations far below the resolution of the OCT system. As a proof of concept, we demonstrated the 3D spatiotemporal monitoring of glucose-responsive microparticles distributed throughout a tissue-mimic in response to dynamically-fluctuating levels of glucose. Deep learning was further implemented using 3D convolutional neural networks to automate the vast processing of the continuous stream of three-dimensional time series data, resulting in a robust end-to-end pipeline with immense potential for continuous in vivo biochemical monitoring.
The Second Stage Noise Contribution of a Nuclear Pulse Amplifier (1968)

The noise contribution P of the second stage relative to that of the preamplifier is derived as a function of its own noise parameters, the noise parameters and gain of the preamplifier, and the elements RoCo of the coupling network. Design criteria are derived, if the second stage either precedes or follows the short differentiator. For the latter case it is shown, that a lower limit exists for P if Co is greater, and Ro is smaller than a certain critical value. The resulting time-constant RoCo, for which that lower limit is obtained, is considerably shorter than the shaping time constant T. Hence, P may be reduced if the detector current impulse is recovered from the preamplifier output step by choosing RoCo < < T, and if shaping is postponed to a later stage. The paper concludes with a short discussion of the implications which these considerations have upon the design of the amplifier stage following the first differentiator.
Paced breathing compared with usual breathing for hot flashes (2012)

The paced-breathing intervention is feasible. Although paced breathing twice a day seems to be the most helpful dose, efforts to intensify paced breathing once a day may be more practical for widespread dissemination. The efficacy and overall clinical impact of paced-breathing exercises on hot flash reduction require further evaluation in an adequately powered, placebo-controlled, randomized phase III clinical trial.
Ranging Accuracy in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (2007)

Theoretical analysis of time-of-arrival (TOA)-based high-precision ranging algorithm for the dynamic spectrum access networks (DSANs) is performed. The asymptotic frequency-domain Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) of the ranging algorithm that takes the frequency-dependent feature (FDF) and phase of multipath components (MPCs) into account is derived through Whittle formula. The effects of FDF-MPCs and related parameters such as absolute bandwidth and operating center frequency on the ranging accuracy are investigated. The results show that the impacts of the FDF-MPCs on the ranging accuracy can be significant and it is recommended utilizing as large absolute bandwidth as possible at low operating center frequencies to obtain high-precision distance information of the users in the DSANs

Comparison of therapeutic efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinomas between internally cooled 15-G and 17-G single electrodes (2014)

RFA of HCC using a 15-G electrode is useful to create larger ablation volumes than a 17-G electrode.
Improvement of dispersion tolerance by SPM-based all-optical reshaping in receiver (2003)

Dispersion tolerance improvement through self-phase modulation-based all-optical reshaping in receiver was experimentally investigated using 10-Gb/s return-to-zero signal. We have confirmed that this scheme is quite effective to restore the optical signal deformed due to chromatic dispersion.
<i>In vivo</i>physiological saline-infused hepatic vessel imaging using a two-crystal-interferometer-based phase-contrast X-ray technique (2012)

Using a two-crystal-interferometer-based phase-contrast X-ray imaging system, the portal vein, capillary vessel area and hepatic vein of live rats were revealed sequentially by injecting physiological saline via the portal vein. Vessels greater than 0.06 mm in diameter were clearly shown with low levels of X-rays (552 µGy). This suggests that in vivo vessel imaging of small animals can be performed as conventional angiography without the side effects of the presently used iodine contrast agents.
Results of combustion and emissions testing when co-firing blends of binder-enhanced densified refuse-derived fuel (b-dRDF) pellets and coal in a 440 MW{sub e} cyclone fired combustor. Volume 1: Test methodology and results (1994)

As part of the U.S. Department of Energy`s (DOE) Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Program, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) conducted a multi-phase research study on the use of low-cost binder additives for improving densified refuse-derived fuel (dRDF) pellets. The laboratory test phase of this study, completed in 1985, examined more than 150 potential binders and binder combinations. The 13 most promising candidates from this laboratory testing were selected for field testing. The field work, was conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Navy at the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory`s test facility in Jacksonville, Florida during 1986. The results of these tests indicated that calcium hydroxide was the top-ranked binding agent. As the third and final phase of the multi-phase study, ANL conducted two full-scale co-fired combustion tests of calcium hydroxide-enhanced dRDF pellets and coal. The first test was conducted in 1987 in ANL`s spreader-stoker combustion unit. With the successful completion of the ANL tests, it appeared desirable to consider the feasibility of co-firing binder-enhanced drdf (b-dRDF) pellets and coal in a cyclone/fired combustor since these combustors are more extensively used in the industrial and electric utility market place than the older, smaller spreader-stoker units. Commercial-scale tests for this study were conducted at Otter Tail Power Company`s 440-NW{sub e} cyclone-fired generating station located at Big Stone City, South Dakota. These tests were conducted under a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA). The CRADA participants included two national laboratories and three industrial partners. The study was designed to determine the following: the amount of pollutants, both gaseous and ashes, released during the co-firing of binder-enhanced dRDF pellets with coal in a cyclone-fired combustor; boiler efficiencies when combusting b-dRDF/coal blends; and the effect of firing b-dRDF/coal blends on plant operations.

Fast Feature Fool: A data independent approach to universal adversarial perturbations (2017)

State-of-the-art object recognition Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are shown to be fooled by image agnostic perturbations, called universal adversarial perturbations. It is also observed that these perturbations generalize across multiple networks trained on the same target data. However, these algorithms require training data on which the CNNs were trained and compute adversarial perturbations via complex optimization. The fooling performance of these approaches is directly proportional to the amount of available training data. This makes them unsuitable for practical attacks since its unreasonable for an attacker to have access to the training data. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a novel data independent approach to generate image agnostic perturbations for a range of CNNs trained for object recognition. We further show that these perturbations are transferable across multiple network architectures trained either on same or different data. In the absence of data, our method generates universal adversarial perturbations efficiently via fooling the features learned at multiple layers thereby causing CNNs to misclassify. Experiments demonstrate impressive fooling rates and surprising transferability for the proposed universal perturbations generated without any training data.
The serial resonant converter with controlled rectifier stage (2005)

This paper introduces and analyzes a new serial resonant converter derived from the classical SRC, with controlled switches at the rectifier stage. The output current is controlled and regulated by the above mentioned stage, allowing to keep the resonant magnitudes bounded. We perform the first harmonic approximation analysis to the structure and obtain the state space model solution. Experimental results from a prototype are also presented to support the developed analysis
(Biphenyl-4-yl)methylammonium Chlorides: Potent Anticonvulsants That Modulate Na<sup>+</sup>Currents (2013)

We have reported that compounds containing a biaryl linked unit (Ar-X-Ar') modulated Na(+) currents by promoting slow inactivation and fast inactivation processes and by inducing frequency (use)-dependent inhibition of Na(+) currents. These electrophysiological properties have been associated with the mode of action of several antiepileptic drugs. In this study, we demonstrate that the readily accessible (biphenyl-4-yl)methylammonium chlorides (compound class B) exhibited a broad range of anticonvulsant activities in animal models, and in the maximal electroshock seizure test the activity of (3'-trifluoromethoxybiphenyl-4-yl)methylammonium chloride (8) exceeded that of phenobarbital and phenytoin upon oral administration to rats. Electrophysiological studies of 8 using mouse catecholamine A-differentiated cells and rat embryonic cortical neurons confirmed that 8 promoted slow and fast inactivation in both cell types but did not affect the frequency (use)-dependent block of Na(+) currents.
Time: A New Parameter for Kinetic Measurements in Flow Cytometry (1980)

The measure of time was used as an additional parameter on an existing flow cytometer to study the kinetics of enzyme activities and cell-stain interactions. By correlating all fluorescent signals from single cells with time, the dynamics of a reaction can be followed for several minutes. This advanced application of flow cytometry is easily implemented and can be incorporated into any flow cytometer that has two-parameter analysis capability.
Histopathological spectrum of paediatric diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma: diagnostic and therapeutic implications (2014)

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the main cause of brain tumour-related death in children. In the majority of cases diagnosis is based on clinical and MRI findings, resulting in the scarcity of pre-treatment specimens available to study. Our group has developed an autopsy-based protocol to investigate the histologic and biologic spectrum of DIPG. This has also allowed us to investigate the terminal pattern of disease and gain a better understanding of what challenges we are facing in treating DIPG. Here, we review 72 DIPG cases with well documented clinical history and molecular data and describe the pathological features of this disease in relation to clinical and genetic features. Fifty-three of the samples were autopsy material (7 pre-treatment) and 19 were pre-treatment biopsy/surgical specimens. Upon histological review, 62 patients had high-grade astrocytomas (18 WHO grade III and 44 WHO grade IV patients), 8 had WHO grade II astrocytomas, and 2 had features of primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET). K27M-H3 mutations were exclusively found in tumours with WHO grade II-IV astrocytoma histology. K27M-H3.1 and ACVR1 mutations as well as ALT phenotype were only found in WHO grade III-IV astrocytomas, while PIK3CA mutations and PDGFRA gains/amplifications were found in WHO grade II-IV astrocytomas. Approximately 1/3 of DIPG patients had leptomeningeal spread of their tumour. Further, diffuse invasion of the brainstem, spinal cord and thalamus was common with some cases showing spread as distant as the frontal lobes. These findings suggest that focal radiation may be inadequate for some of these patients. Importantly, we show that clinically classic DIPGs represent a diverse histologic spectrum, including multiple cases which would fit WHO criteria of grade II astrocytoma which nevertheless behave clinically as high-grade astrocytomas and harbour the histone K27M-H3.3 mutation. This suggests that the current WHO astrocytoma grading scheme may not appropriately predict outcome for paediatric brainstem gliomas.
Direct and trap-assisted elastic tunneling through ultrathin gate oxides (2002)

The direct and assisted-by-trap elastic tunnel current in metal–oxide–semiconductor capacitors with ultrathin gate oxide (1.5–3.6 nm) has been studied. Bardeen’s method has been adapted to obtain the assisted tunnel current, in addition to the direct tunnel current. The dependence of the assisted current on the trap distribution in energy has also been analyzed. This allows us to obtain the trap distribution in energy from experimental current curves. Finally, we have analyzed the role of the image force, the inclusion of which can avoid a barrier height dependence on the oxide thickness.
