Serial Bit-Stream Analysis Using Quantum-Dot (2004)

Quasi-adiabatically switched quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) devices present the opportunity to extend our ef- forts from the implementation of combinational logic devices to more useful sequential logic devices. One very important applica- tion of sequential logic is in the recognition of patterns in serial bit streams. This is important, for example, in Internet applications, where particular bit patterns are designated as sentinel charac- ters that indicate a particular action should be taken. The founda- tion of a serial bit-stream analyzer is a shift register, which can be implemented very easily using quasi-adiabatically switched QCA devices. In addition to the shift register, the device will require a multiple-bit comparator, which has not yet been demonstrated in a QCA architecture. We will present a multiple-bit serial stream analyzer that combines the functions of the shift register and the comparator. This device will be analyzed first using behavioral and structural models developed specifically for this project, then its correct quasi-adiabatic behavior will be demonstrated using well established quantum mechanical models. We will show that the proposed device can be used to detect any arbitrary bit pattern appearing in a serial stream of data applied to its serial input. The bit pattern to be detected can be changed using device inputs, and a successful match will be indicated by asserting an output.
Changes in coffee brews in relation to storage temperature (1990)

Abstract Coffee beverage bottled aseptically was tested in order to evaluate the more evident chemical and sensory changes occurring during storage. The decline in pH and the quality score correlated well at several storage temperatures. The sensory analysis permitted definition of a lower limit of pH at which the product's shelf‐life ended. The original panel scores were assessed by response surface methodology to obtain estimated scores for the different time/ temperature storage conditions. Knowledge of the kinetic rate constants of the decline in pH at different temperatures permitted correlation of the shelf‐life of the product with its storage temperature.
Molecular Phylogeny of <i>Anabaena circinalis</i> and Its Identification in Environmental Samples by PCR (2000)

Although the cyanobacterium Anabaena circinalis occurs worldwide, Australian isolates are believed to exclusively possess the saxitoxin group neurotoxins (paralytic shellfish poisons). Identification of A. circinalis in a mixed population is complicated due to limited morphological differences between Anabaena species. Sequence analysis of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (rpoC1) gene from 24 Anabaena isolates, including 12 designated A. circinalis, permitted a phylogenetic analysis to be performed. In addition, an A. circinalis-specific PCR was developed and tested successfully on environmental samples.
Directional Synthesis and Assembly of Bimetallic Nanosnowmen with DNA (2012)

Synthesizing and assembling nanoscale building blocks to form anisotropic nanostructures with the desired composition and property are of paramount importance for the understanding and use of nanostructured materials. Here we report a salt-tuned synthetic strategy using DNA-modified Au nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) to form Au-Ag head-body nanosnowman structures in >95% yield. We propose a mechanism for the formation of asymmetric Au-Ag nanosnowmen from DNA-AuNPs, salts, and Ag-precursor-loaded polymers. Importantly, we show that oriented assemblies of various nanostructures are readily obtained using nanosnowmen with asymmetrically modified DNA as building blocks.

Handheld Augmented Reality for Distributed Collaborative Crime Scene Investigation (2016)

Recent research showed that augmented reality (AR) technology is a promising approach to support distributed teams in crime scene investigation. This paper reports on the development and evaluation of a handheld AR system to support team situational awareness and collaboration among co-located and remote forensic investigators. The AR system runs on a smartphone strapped to the wrists of the local investigators and on a laptop for the remote investigator. The AR system has been evaluated with three experienced forensic investigators and was carried out in two rounds: (1) with one local and one remote investigator and (2) with two local and one remote investigator. The evaluation focused on the usability of the AR system and its effect on situational awareness as well as collaboration quality. Compared to earlier experiments using head-mounted devices (HMDs), the findings suggest that the handheld AR system addresses limitations of current HMD based AR system, but the necessary division of attention between smartphone AR system and real environment impacts the situational awareness.
Experimental Vehicle Platform for Pedestrian Detection (2006)

This report documents the work conducted for PATH Task Order 5200 – the evaluation of sensor technologies for pedestrian detection. A survey of recent and available sensor products were selected and evaluated to assess their applicability for vehicle-based solutions. The performance characteristics and limitations of various products and technological approaches were investigated. Subsequently, demonstrative experimental vehicle platforms and testing facilities were developed to illustrate the concept of vehicle infrastructure integration.

Geometric Formulas for Dilution of Precision Calculations (1990)

This paper derives geometric formulations for computing dilutions of precision (DOPs), such as GDOP, PDOP, and HDOP. These formulations are in terms of volumes, areas, and lengths determined by the unit vectors pointing from the receiver to the satellites. They often result in very efficient computer algorithms for computing the DOP quantities. The underlying methods easily generalize to any dimension for DOPs involving any number of transmitters.
Quantitative investigation on the effect of hydrogenation on the performance of MnO<sub>2</sub>/H-TiO<sub>2</sub> composite electrodes for supercapacitors (2014)

Based on the Mott–Schottky theory, the electron concentration of the as-synthesized nanostructures can be calculated by M–S plot.
Coherent Control of Collisional Events: Bimolecular Reactive Scattering (1996)

Laser control over reactive and nonreactive collisional events of the $B+C\ensuremath{\rightarrow}F+G$ type is shown possible via preparation of a superposition of degenerate initial states which interfere with one another. Required, however, is a controlled superposition of continuum states comprised of correlated products of internal B, C states and plane waves. We show that this can be achieved by the controlled preparation of a B superposition state followed by a shift in the kinetic energy of the superposition state components, guaranteeing the required degeneracy of terms in the superposition state and a reduction in center of mass related oscillations.
Isolation and characterization of cat allergens (1975)

A crude (saline soluble) extract of cat skins capable of eliciting a strong positive prick skin test in cat sensitive individuals was fractionated on Sephadex G200. Active fractions were pooled and successively fractionated on isoelectric focusing gradients of pH 3-5 and pH 4-5. Allergenic activity was localized in two peaks with mean isoelectric points of 4-1 and 4-35 respectively. On immunoelectrophoresis the allergen with pI = 4-35 was associated with a protein which was subsequently found to be immunologically indistinguishable from serum albumin and to have a molecular weight of 69,000 daltons. The allergen with pI = 4-1 migrated in the alpha2-region on immunoelectrophoresis and had a mean molecular weight of 55,000 daltons. This allergen was isolated and analysed for amino acid and carbohydrate content. A combined extract of both allergens coupled to microcrystalline cellulose and used a RAST procedure readily distinguished between two groups of individuals classified as skin test positive and skin test negative to cat allergen.
Spectral efficiency improvement by base station antenna pattern control for land mobile cellular systems (1994)

The paper proposes use of an adaptive array base station in order to increase spectral efficiency without decreasing cell radius. The base station antenna controls its directivity pattern to reduce co-channel interference by applying an adaptive array technique. Computer simulation results show that the cluster size can be reduced to one, indicating that one can reuse the same frequency group at all cells. Thus, the improvement in spectral efficiency is as much as 16 times as that of an omni-antenna. Moreover, load sharing, which is expected to improve channel utilization for unbalanced load situations, is available by cell overlapping. >
Thermionic Emission Including Both Space Charge and Image Forces (1989)

The net emission current for a uniform plane thermionic emitter is determined for a range of voltages, temperatures, and various values of the work function. Poisson’s equation is self‐consistently solved, using numerical techniques, without any additional phenomenological assumptions. This work accurately specifies the net current in the transition region between space‐charge‐limited and temperature‐limited emission, and we present the first determination of the shape of the interelectrode potential there. A comparison with earlier approximate techniques is also included.
Mutation analysis in 16 patients with mtDNA depletion (2003)

Sixteen unrelated Southern European patients with the mitochondrial depletion syndrome (MDS) were analyzed for mutations in the TK2 and DGUOK genes. Three novel mutations were identified in TK2 (R183G, R254X, and 142insG). When we analyzed additional genes involved in the dNTPs pool, such as SLC25A19 (DNC) and NT5M (d-NT2), we did not detect mutations. The current study suggest that scanning the TK2, DGUOK, SLC25A19, and NT5M genes is likely to help about 10% of MDS families in terms of genetic counseling. Also, our findings indicate that genotype-phenotype correlations are not straightforward in MDS.
<i>In vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> antitumor activity of butyroyloxymethyl‐diethyl phosphate (AN‐7), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in human prostate cancer (2005)

AN-7, a prodrug of butyric acid, induced histone hyperacetylation and differentiation and inhibited proliferation of human prostate 22Rv1 cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. In nude mice implanted with these cells, 50 mg/kg AN-7 given orally thrice a week led to inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis, tumor regression in >25% of animals and increased survival. Median time to the experimental end point (tumor volume 2 cm3 or death) in the untreated was 52 days, and average tumor volume was 0.8 +/- 0.18 cm3. At the same time, 94.4% of AN-7-treated mice survived and had average tumor volumes of 0.37 +/- 0.1 cm3. PSA expression was a useful marker for 22Rv1 lung metastasis detection. Sizeable metastases positively stained for PSA and limited air gaps were found in lungs of untreated mice. In animals treated with AN-7, lung morphology appeared normal. Primary tumors of treated animals were highly positive for PSA and had an elevated level of p21 and the proapoptotic protein Bax. Sections taken from AN-7-treated animals, examined under an electron microscope, exhibited condensed chromatin and apoptotic bodies. PSA serum levels were higher in untreated compared to treated animals and correlated with tumor volume. Since prolonged oral administration with 50 mg/kg or a single oral dose of 1.2 g/kg AN-7 did not cause adverse effects and the former exhibited significant anticancer activity, AN-7 is likely to display a high therapeutic index and may be beneficial for prostate cancer patients.
Secondary Structure of the HAV Peptide Which Regulates Cadherin-Cadherin Interaction (1995)

Cadherins are calcium-binding proteins which are responsible for cell-cell adhesion in biological systems. Cadherins are involved in embryo compaction, neurite growth, cellular differentiation and formation of biological barriers (i.e., intestinal and blood brain barriers). A short linear peptide, LRAHAVDVNG-NH2 (Peptide 1), which contains His-Ala-Val sequence and is derived from the N-cadherin sequence has been shown to inhibit embryo compaction and neurite growth; this is caused by inhibition of the cadherin-cadherin interactions. Peptide 1 was synthesized and its solution conformation was determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism and molecular dynamics simulations. These studies indicated that the peptide has an extended structure from residue Leu1 to Asp7, possibly a beta-sheet structure, followed by a beta-turn from Asp7 to Gly10. The X-ray crystal structure of a sequence similar to that of peptide 1 in hemagglutinin indicated that it also has a beta-sheet structure around the HAV sequence, followed by a beta-turn.
Thermal stability of nonhydrogenated multilayer amorphous carbon prepared by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique (2007)

Through discrete modulation of the deposition biasing conditions, multilayered nonhydrogenated diamondlike amorphous carbon films were prepared by the filtered cathodic vacuum arc technique. Films deposited under different conditions were divided into two groups in order to study how the modulation as well as sublayer content affect various mechanical and material properties as deposited and after annealing in vacuum. A 30% decrease in the residual stress of the multilayer films from 4.3to2.8GPa was observed with only marginal (5%) changes in the hardness. The frictional characteristics of the multilayer films were also studied and shown to be excellent, having a coefficient of friction of 0.1 and stable with annealing. A larger decrease in the resistance to wear was observed in multilayer films richer in soft sublayers which was linked to the decreased in sp3 content in the films.
TMPP for Both Two MPTCP-unaware Hosts (2013)

Transparent MPTCP Proxy(TMPP) is an introduced network-based function,
which is under MPTCP architecture. It can help two MPTCP- unaware
hosts enjoy multipath support, and can be extensively used both in the
access networks and operators' networks. Meanwhile, in MPTCP
architecture with TMPP, TMPP needs to modify the received packets and
transmit them again(just like gateway in NAT environment). In this
document, we also discuss the guarantee for data transfer on TMPP's
side. The consideration of data transfer can be expanded to the MPTCP
architecture with proxy.
Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 67‐Derived High Symmetric Porous Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> Hollow Dodecahedra with Highly Enhanced Lithium Storage Capability (2014)

High symmetric porous Co3O4 hollow dodecahedra constructed by nanometer-sized building blocks are rationally synthesized by templating against Co-containing zeolitic imidazolate framework-67. The well-defined hollow structure and highly porous framework render these hollow dodecahedra exhibit high specific capacity, excellent cycling stability and superior rate capability when evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries.
Tea tree oil reduces histamine-induced skin inflammation (2002)

Tea tree oil is the essential oil steam-distilled from Melaleuca alternifolia, an Australian native plant. In recent years it has become increasingly popular as an antimicrobial for the treatment of conditions such as tinea pedis and acne.To investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of tea tree oil on histamine-induced weal and flare.Twenty-seven volunteers were injected intradermally in each forearm (study and control assigned on an alternating basis) with histamine diphosphate (5 microg in 50 microL). Flare and weal diameters and double skin thickness were measured every 10 min for 1 h to calculate flare area and weal volume. At 20 min, 25 microL of 100% tea tree oil was applied topically to the study forearm of 21 volunteers. For six volunteers, 25 microL paraffin oil was applied instead of tea tree oil.Application of liquid paraffin had no significant effect on histamine-induced weal and flare. There was also no difference in mean flare area between control arms and those on which tea tree oil was applied. However, mean weal volume significantly decreased after tea tree oil application (10 min after tea tree oil application, P = 0.0004, Mann-Whitney U-test).This is the first study to show experimentally that tea tree oil can reduce histamine-induced skin inflammation.
Correlations between commonly used objective signs and symptoms for the diagnosis of dry eye disease: clinical implications (2012)

No consistent relationship was found between common signs and symptoms of DED. Each type of measurement provides distinct information about the condition of the ocular surface. These results also demonstrate that symptoms alone are insufficient for the diagnosis and management of DED and argue for a consensus of clinical signs that better reflect all aspects of the disease.
Performance Curves for <i>m</i>-Derived Filters (1942)

For a composite filter made up of several m-derived sections, the greatest discrimination will be obtained if the values of the design parameter m for the various parts of the filter are chosen so that successive minima of insertion loss in the attenuation band are all the same. Many different low pass structures were set up and adjusted experimentally to show this type of performance. The necessary values of m and the resulting discrimination for each network have been plotted on curves, which give information also about the sharpness of cut-off. These curves are useful for the most economical design of low pass, or high pass, composite filters to meet definite requirements.
Probing adiabatic states (1976)

The problem of monitoring an excited state by a probe beam resonant with the transition to a second excited state is examined in the case in which the first excited state is adiabatically excited off resonance. It is shown that dispersive effects are to be expected, and their magnitude is estimated.
<scp>CAR</scp> T cells: driving the road from the laboratory to the clinic (2013)

Summary Blockbuster antibody therapies have catapulted immune‐based approaches to treat cancer into the consciousness of mainstay clinical research. On the back of this, other emerging immune‐based therapies are providing great promise. T‐cell therapy is one such area where recent trials using T cells genetically modified to express an antibody‐based chimeric antigen receptor ( CAR ) targeted against the CD 19 antigen have demonstrated impressive responses when adoptively transferred to patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The general concept of the CAR T cell was devised some 20 years ago. In this relatively short period of time, the technology to redirect T‐cell function has moved at pace facilitating clinical translation; however, many questions remain with respect to developing the approach to improve CAR T‐cell therapeutic activity and also to broaden the range of tumors that can be effectively targeted by this approach. This review highlights some of the underlying principles and compromises of CAR T‐cell technology using the CD 19‐targeted CAR as a paradigm and discusses some of the issues that relate to targeting solid tumors with CAR T cells.
Polymer Flooding of Heavy Oil - From Screening to Full-Field Extension (2014)

Abstract Thermal EOR has long been considered the sole Enhanced Oil Recovery method for heavy oil but this is no longer the case; several heavy oil polymer floods have proven successful and more are in the planning stages. In the US alone several billion barrels of oil could be targeted; in the rest of the world and in Latin America in particular the potential target is also probably large but mostly unknown at this point. Even though polymer flooding recovery is usually lower than with thermal methods, it is less capital intensive and may be the only economical solution for instance in thin reservoirs. As any EOR project, polymer flooding of heavy oil is done in stages – screening, feasibility study, pilot preparation, pilot execution and eventually full field deployment. Each of these stages requires care and attention to details and many pitfalls need to be avoided in order to reach the final stage of full deployment. This paper intends to provide guidelines on the whole process, based on practical experience and illustrated with actual field cases. This should allow operators to benefit from a better understanding of the challenges and potential of polymer flooding of heavy oil and open the door for more projects.
A gradient-index ophthalmic lens based on Wood's convex pseudo-lens. (1990)

Although the Varilux type varifocal has been and still is very popular, research has been carried out on other methods of providing a progressive addition lens. This paper deals with the field of gradient-index optics. It includes a review of the literature related to the production of a gradient-index element and the theoretical analysis of concentric varifocals. A procedure is described to construct a varifocal lens, after that described by Wood in 1905, to produce lenses known as 'non-homogeneous cylinders' or 'pseudo-lenses'. The method is based on a diffusion process, taking place in half of the lens, and creates steps in the refractive index of the material. Experimental data are also given on the change of the spherical and cylindrical power, which indicate that the lens constructed is an optical system having a rotational symmetry in power, around a fixed point.
