Behaviors and effectiveness of rerouting: a study (2005)

Rerouting has been used in traffic management to perform dynamic load balancing. The aim of rerouting is to reassign the path/bandwidth allocations of current traffic trunks in a network in order to minimize the probability of blocking future resource requests. We investigate how the effectiveness of rerouting can be affected by the characteristic of the underlying network topology. We established baseline measures through two resource allocation algorithms: a shortest distance path algorithm (SDP), that represents the best common practice without rerouting, and a global rerouting algorithm that is based on a provably /spl epsiv/-optimal algorithm for the multi-commodity flow problem. We propose two rerouting algorithms based on the basic SDP algorithm that selects for rerouting either from traffic trunks with the same source-destination pairs (local rerouting) or from all traffic trunks (global rerouting). The effectiveness of rerouting is highly related to the average node degree. As the connectivity of a graph increases, rerouting tends to be more effective. However, rerouting does not always perform better when connectivity is increased. Significant performance improvement only occurs within a relatively small range of connectivities when a rerouting algorithm is able to find alternative paths and SDP cannot. Furthermore, local rerouting is sufficient to exploit most of the benefits of rerouting and it is not necessary to utilize much more computationally intensive global rerouting algorithms. Finally, we investigate the rerouting frequency vs. blocking trade-off and show that for local rerouting, the best performance can be achieved by a rerouting frequency of only 30%.
i-GAME: An Implicit GTS Allocation Mechanism in IEEE 802.15.4 for Time-Sensitive Wireless Sensor Networks (2006)

The IEEE 802.15.4 medium access control (MAC) protocol is an enabling technology for time sensitive wireless sensor networks thanks to its guaranteed-time slot (GTS) mechanism in the beacon-enabled mode. However, the protocol only supports explicit GTS allocation, i.e. a node allocates a number of time slots in each superframe for exclusive use. The limitation of this explicit GTS allocation is that GTS resources may quickly disappear, since a maximum of seven GTSs can be allocated in each superframe, preventing other nodes to benefit from guaranteed service. Moreover, the GTSs may be only partially used, resulting in wasted bandwidth. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes i-GAME, an implicit GTS allocation mechanism in beacon-enabled IEEE 802.15.4 networks. The allocation is based on implicit GTS allocation requests, taking into account the traffic specifications and the delay requirements of the flows. The i-GAME approach enables the use of a GTS by multiple nodes, while all their (delay, bandwidth) requirements are still satisfied. For that purpose, we propose an admission control algorithm that enables to decide whether to accept a new GTS allocation request or not, based not only on the remaining time slots, but also on the traffic specifications of the flows, their delay requirements and the available bandwidth resources. We show that our proposal improves the bandwidth utilization compared to the explicit allocation used in the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol standard. We also present some practical considerations for the implementation of i-GAME, ensuring backward compatibility with the IEEE 801.5.4 standard with only minor add-ons
Characteristics and composition of melon seed oil (2005)

Dried melon seeds (Citrullus colocynthis L) of the family Cucurbitaceae were investigated for nutritional quality and the oil seed characteristics. These melon seeds, on a dry weight basis, consisted of 52.3% of test and 47.7% of kernel. The moisture content in melon seeds was 54.5% and the mineral constituents were also determined. The oil content of seeds was very high ranging from 22.1-53.5%, due to the presence of the hulls, 22% from the seeds and 53% of the kernel, and also the crude protein content was so high as the 21.8% of the seeds. Standard procedures were applied to determine the fatty acids composition of the seed oil. The fatty acid profiles of the seed oil showed an unsaturated fatty acid content of 77.4% and the high content of 63.2% of PUFA. The predominant fatty acid was linoleic (18:2) acid in 62.2%. The presence of other fatty acids ranged in 10-14% for oleic (18:1) stearic (18:0) and palmitic (16:0) acids, respectively. Furthermore, the physical and chemical characteristics of the seed oil was also determined as iodine, acid, saponification, peroxide values and specific gravity.
Mathematical modelling, simulation and prediction of tumour-induced angiogenesis. (1996)

Angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels from a pre-existing vasculature, is a process whereby capillary sprouts are formed in response to externally supplied chemical stimuli. The sprouts then grow and develop, driven by endothelial cell migration and proliferation, and organise themselves into a dendritic structure. Angiogenesis occurs during embryogenesis, wound healing, arthritis and during the growth of solid tumours. In this paper we present a novel mathematical model which describes the formation of the capillary sprout network in response to chemical stimuli (tumour angiogenesis factors, TAF) supplied by a solid tumour. The model also takes into account endothelial cell-extracellular matrix interactions via the inclusion of fibronectin in the model. The model consists of a system of nonlinear partial differential equations describing the response in space and time of endothelial cells to the TAF and the fibronectin (migration, proliferation, anastomosis, branching). Using the discretized system of partial differential equations, we use a deterministic cellular automata (DCA) model, which enables us to track individual endothelial cells and incorporate branching explicity into the model. Numerical simulations are presented which are in very good qualitative agreement with experimental observations. Certain experiments are suggested which could be used to test the hypotheses of the model and various extensions and developments of the model with particular applications to anti-angiogenesis strategies are discussed.
Antithrombin III-Independent Effect of Depolymerized Holothurian Glycosaminoglycan (DHG) on Acute Thromboembolism in Mice (1997)

A previous study in this laboratory showed that depolymerized holothurian glycosaminoglycan (DHG) has two different antithrombin III (ATIII)-independent inhibitory effects on the in vitro blood coagulation system: heparin cofactor II (HCII)-dependent inhibition of thrombin, and ATIII- and HCII-independent inhibition of factor X activation by factor IXa-factor VIIIa complex (Nagase et al. Blood 85, 1527-1534, 1995). In the present study, we compared the antithrombotic effects of DHG in normal and in ATIII-deficient mice with those of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). DHG, unlike UFH and LMWH, exerted an in vivo antithrombotic effect even in mice with decreased plasma ATIII activity (about 30% of normal). We then compared the anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects of DHG in mice with those of high molecular weight (HMW)-DHG, low molecular weight (LMW)-DHG, and dermatan sulfate (DS). In terms of in vitro anticoagulant activity assessed by use of purified human components, DHGs (DHG, HMW-DHG, and LMW-DHG) had different anti-thrombin activity in the presence of HCII and anti-factor Xase activities, which differences were dependent on the molecular weight. With respect to in vivo antithrombotic activity, DHG, HMW-DHG, and LMW-DHG showed almost the same inhibitory effect on acute thromboembolism in mice (minimum effective dose [MED]: > 0.3 mg/kg). Since the antithrombotic activities of DHGs were not correlated with the anticoagulant-specific activities, the contribution of the two anticoagulant activities to the in vivo antithrombotic effect of DHGs remains unknown. However, DHG was more effective against acute thromboembolism in mice than DS (MED > 1 or > 3 mg/kg), which showed no inhibitory activity toward factor Xase. Therefore, it seems that factor Xase inhibition contributes greatly to the antithrombotic effect of DHG and that DHG exerts this effect in mice mainly by inhibiting factor Xase.
Surface modification with PEO-containing triblock copolymer for improved biocompatibility: In vitro and ex vivo studies (1999)

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) has been frequently used to modify biomaterial surfaces for improved biocompatibility. We have used PEO-polybutadiene-PEO triblock copolymer to graft PEO to biomaterials by gamma-irradiation for a total radiation dose of 1 Mrad. The molecular weight of PEO in the block copolymer was 5000. In vitro study showed that fibrinogen adsorption to Silastic, polyethylene, and glass was reduced by 70 to approximately 95% by PEO grafting. On the other hand, the reduction of fibrinogen adsorption was only 30% on expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE). In vitro platelet adhesion study showed that almost no platelets could adhere to PEO-coated Silastic, polyethylene, and glass, while numerous platelet aggregates were found on the ePTFE. The platelet adhesion in vitro corresponded to the fibrinogen adsorption. When the PEO-grafted surfaces were tested ex vivo using a series shunt in a canine model, the effect of the grafted PEO was not noticeable. Platelet deposition on ePTFE was reduced by PEO grafting from 8170 +/- 1030 to 5100 +/- 460 platelets 10(-3) microm2, but numerous thrombi were still present on the PEO-grafted surface. The numbers of platelets cumulated on Silastic, polyethylene, and glass were 100 +/- 80, 169 +/- 35, and 24 +/- 22 platelets 10(-3) microm2, respectively. This is about 35% reduction in platelet deposition by PEO grafting. While the numbers of deposited platelets were small, the decreases were not as large as those expected from the in vitro study. This may be due to a number of reasons which have to be clarified in future studies, but it appears that in vitro platelet adhesion and fibrinogen adsorption studies may not be a valuable predictor for the in vivo or ex vivo behavior of the PEO-grafted surfaces.

Targeting the prohibitin scaffold-CRAF kinase interaction in RAS-ERK-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (2014)

Blockade of the PHB scaffold-CRAF kinase interaction, which is distinct from direct kinase inhibition, may be a new therapeutic strategy to target oncogenic ERK-driven pancreatic cancer.
A review of yaw rate and sideslip controllers for passenger vehicles (2007)

The development of chassis control schemes has been a major area of study for automotive control engineers over the past 30 years. The volume of published literature is large, exceeding 1000 papers. Of this literature, there are 250 examining yaw and sideslip control. Here is a comprehensive review of this field of study to identify the current state of the art and research in yaw rate and sideslip control. The survey shows that there is still a significant research effort needed to address the subjective performance of handling systems, and more research is needed to develop schemes that integrate systems to achieve high-level performance objectives.
An efficient solution of a class of integrals arising in antenna theory (2002)

A novel analytical solution for a class of power-radiation integrals, arising in antenna theory, is presented. These integrals are then applied to the analysis of circular-loop and circular-microstrip antennas, and the results are compared to published results obtained using numerical integration. The analytical solution is shown to be sufficiently accurate and efficient for the calculation of the radiation characteristics of these types of antennas. Possible applications to other types of antennas are discussed.

Total Parenteral Nutrition in Pediatrics: The Borden Award Address (1975)

Research in parenteral nutrition in infants has proceeded rapidly over the past few years, thanks in large part to the perfection of safe central venous delivery of hypertonic nutritive infusates. At present, there are clear definitions of indications and expectations of results for this method of therapy in two well-defined groups of patients--i.e., selected surgical neonates and infants with chronic intractable diarrhea. In addition, we have suggestive evidence of another potentially valuable application in the nutritional management of very low birthweight infants. However, in this group, a controlled study will be necessary before the role of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in neonatal care of such infants can be determined precisely. Results obtained with TPN in adults with inflammatory bowel disease or acute renal failure suggest that trials of this technique in pediatric patients with these disorders should be carried out. As a result of the research in TPN carried out thus far, we have learned how to minimize or to treat many of the complications of the technique and we have identified at least the ways by which still others can be prevented. The future holds many new advances not only in the refinement of existing parenteral nutritional solutions but also, and perhaps of even greater importance; in the perfection of individualized total nutritional therapy for specific patients using the enteral route for those discrete components of intake for which digestive and/or absorptive mechanisms are unimpaired and using the parenteral route for the remainder.
What Happens to the ‘Healthy Immigrant Effect’: The Mental Health of Immigrants to Canada (2005)

This study examines the mental health of Canada’s immigrants, relative to that of the native-born population, and makes a comparison between the longer term (ten or more years of residence) and more recent immigrants. The pattern of mental health may be explained by selectivity, structural strain theory from a macro perspective, or stress theory with a micro approach. Given available data, the study focuses on stress theory which suggests that persons with better mental health are either exposed to fewer stressors, or they cope better with their stress and adversity. The data are from Cycle 1.2 of the Canadian Community Health Survey in 2002. The results confirm a “healthy immigrant effect” and its decline for longer-term immigrants. The various demographic, socio-economic, stress and coping factors are found to be significantly related to mental health, but controls for these factors fails to account for the differences across immigration status, especially the advantage of recent immigrants.
GC/MS Analysis of Water-Soluble Products from the Mild Oxidation of Longkou Brown Coal with H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (2003)

Longkou brown coal was oxidized by H2O2 at 40 °C for 10 h. Water-phase fraction from the reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform to afford chloroform-soluble, chloroform-insoluble but water soluble (CIWS) and solid subfractions. A series of heteroatom(s)-containing organic compounds were detected with GC/MS from the CIWS subfraction. The heteroatoms included O, N, S, and Cl.
Changes in Populations of HLA- DR+CD3+ Cells and CD57–CD16+ Cells in Alopecia areata after Corticosteroid Therapy (1994)

We investigated the populations of activated T (HLA-DR+CD3+) cells and natural killer (CD57-CD16+) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with various types of alopecia areata (AA) and noted any changes that occurred in the said populations after administration of local and systemic corticosteroid therapy. In type 2 (severe multiple AA and alopecia totalis) and type 3 (alopecia universalis), the mean percentages of HLA-DR+CD3+ cells and CD57-CD16+ cells were significantly higher when compared with those of the normal controls. The percentages of both subsets in type 1 (mild AA) and the normal controls were consistent. Twenty-four patients in types 2 and 3 had received corticosteroid treatment, and all patients experienced new hair growth. With the changes in disease activity, the populations of HLA-DR+CD3+ cells in these patients after corticosteroid therapy significantly decreased when compared with those recorded prior to treatment. Subsequent to treatment, the mean percentages of CD57-CD16+ cells decreased to levels that were not significant relative to that of the normal controls. These findings indicate that HLA-DR+CD3+ and CD57-CD16+ cells in the peripheral blood of patients with AA may be correlated with the disease activity of AA.
Simulation Framework for Misbehavior Detection in Vehicular Networks (2020)

Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) is an ongoing technology that will change our driving experience in the near future. In such systems, vehicles and Road-Side Unit (RSU) cooperate by broadcasting V2X messages over the vehicular network. Safety applications use these data to detect and avoid dangerous situations on time. MisBehavior Detection (MBD) in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) is an active research topic which consists of monitoring data semantics of the exchanged Vehicle-to-X communication (V2X) messages to detect and identify potential misbehaving entities. The detection process consists of performing plausibility and consistency checks on the received V2X messages. If an anomaly is detected, the entity may report it by sending a Misbehavior Report (MBR) to the Misbehavior Authority (MA). The MA will then investigate the event and decide to revoke the sender or not. In this paper, we present a MisBehavior Detection (MBD) simulation framework that enables the research community to develop, test, and compare MBD algorithms. We also demonstrate its capabilities by running example scenarios and discuss their results. Framework For Misbehavior Detection (F <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2MD</sup> ) is open source and available for free on our github.

Pressurized Oxygen Treatment of Alkali Cellulose Prior to the Preparation of Viscose Dope (2007)

The conventional viscose manufacturing process is a mature process that needs to be improved with respect to its environmental impact and its production cost structure. Therefore a research study has been done with the aim to improve the reactivity of the dissolving pulp used, in order to reduce the chemical demand in the viscose process and thus reduce the cost and indirectly the environmental impact.The work described in this thesis has shown that it is possible to enhance the pulp reactivity and to use less carbon disulphide in the production of viscose, while maintaining a good quality viscose dope, by two entirely different pretreatment methods, one chemical and one enzymatic.The chemical method used pressurized oxygen after the mercerisation step, which increased the reactivity of the alkali cellulose. The viscose dopes produced from the pressurized oxygen treated alkali cellulose had lower filter clogging values, Kw, compared to conventionally produced viscoses. The temperature and the oxygen treatment time of the alkali cellulose were however crucial for the viscose quality.The best performing enzyme of several tested was a cellulase of the mono component endoglucanase preparation Carezyme®. This enzymatic treatment was optimized with respect to viscose dope preparation. The study showed that the enzyme treatment could be carried out under industrially interesting conditions with respect to temperature, enzyme dose and reaction time. A re-circulation study of the enzyme showed that it was possible to re-use the spent press water from the enzymatic treatment step several times, and thus lower the production cost. Some of the viscose process stages were modified to properly fit the enzymatically treated dissolving pulp and a comparison between viscose made from enzyme-treated pulp and viscose made from conventional pulp, showed that the enzyme-treated samples had a lower filter clogging value, Kw. This indirectly indicates that the enzyme pretreatment could reduce the carbon disulphide charge in the viscose manufacturing process. An initial study of how the Carezyme® influenced different cellulosic sources was also performed.
Integration of vertical InAs nanowire arrays on insulator-on-silicon for electrical isolation (2008)

Vertical and electrically isolated InAs nanowires (NWs) are integrated with Si in a technique that bypasses structural defects and transport barriers at the Si–III–V NW interface. Smart-cut® technique is used to transfer a thin InAs layer onto SiO2/Si and is subsequently used for ordered organometallic vapor phase epitaxy of InAs NWs. The InAs layer in the regions between the InAs NWs is etched resulting in ordered, vertical, and electrically isolated InAs NW arrays. This transfer and fabrication technique enables heteroepitaxy of three dimensional III–V structures on Si and allows the realization of vertical devices with unprecedented control over their architectures.
QuantitativeT2: interactive quantitative T2 MRI witnessed in mouse glioblastoma (2015)

The aim of this study was to establish an advanced analytical platform for complex in vivo pathologies. We have developed a software program, QuantitativeT2, for voxel-based real-time quantitative T2 magnetic resonance imaging. We analyzed murine brain tumors to confirm feasibility of our method for neurological conditions. Anesthetized mice (with invasive gliomas, and controls) were imaged on a 9.4 Tesla scanner using a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill sequence. The multiecho T2 decays from axial brain slices were analyzed using QuantitativeT2. T2 distribution histograms demonstrated substantial characteristic differences between normal and pathological brain tissues. Voxel-based quantitative maps of tissue water fraction (WF) and geometric mean T2 (gmT2) revealed the heterogeneous alterations to water compartmentalization caused by pathology. The numeric distribution of WF and gmT2 indicated the extent of tumor infiltration. Relative evaluations between in vivo scans and ex vivo histology indicated that the T2s between 30 and 150 ms were related to cellular density and the integrity of the extracellular matrix. Overall, QuantitativeT2 has demonstrated significant advancements in qT2 analysis with real-time operation. It is interactive with an intuitive workflow; can analyze data from many MR manufacturers; and is released as open-source code to encourage examination, improvement, and expansion of this method.
