Object versioning in an ODMG‐compliant object database system (1999)

In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the SOP Object Version System which is built upon an object database system, called SOP (SNU ODBMS Platform). SOP is fully compliant with ODMG-93, a standard for object databases proposed by the Object Database Management Group (ODMG). To support object versioning in an ODMG C++ OML (Object Manipulation Language) environment, the SOP Object Version System provides a set of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) as a class library. One important design goal of the SOP Object Version System was to achieve full compliance with ODMG-93 standard. That is, in designing the class library, we tried to utilize the ODMG-93 C++ OML interface as much as possible, while preserving its semantics as defined in ODMG-93. Our object version model follows the basic functionalities of mainstream object version models. Although this approach burdens programmers with the management of the application-specific version policy, it helps users to apply the SOP Object Version System to diverse application areas.

Wide-field high-resolution solid immersion fluorescence microscopy applying an aplanatic solid immersion lens (2010)

The use of aplanatic solid immersion lenses (ASILs) made of high refractive index optical materials provides a route to wide-field high-resolution optical microscopy. We analyze the aberrations that need to be circumvented for wide-field, high-resolution imaging by hybrid optical simulations based on both ray and wave optics. The conclusions on the relationships among ASIL size, fluorescence imaging spectral width, and field of view not only guide us to design the microscopic system demonstrated in this article, but also clearly demonstrate the general design considerations necessary when applying an ASIL in fluorescence microscopy. Based on the simulation results, we develop wide-field high-resolution solid immersion fluorescence (SIF) microscopy employing an ASIL with an effective numerical aperture (NA) of 1.85. We demonstrate wide-field, high-resolution imaging of synthetic and biological samples with our SIF system. In the presence of a gap between the ASIL and the sample, we experimentally demonstrate that the effective NA of the SIF system is determined by the refractive index of the gap medium in addition to that of the ASIL material; thus, in general, degrading the resolution. Future developments of the SIF system to suit routine use and make it achieve still higher resolution by combining SIF and other microscopic techniques are proposed.
Can Cadaveric Organ Donation Rates be Improved? (1995)

There are many reasons why potential cadaveric organ donors may fail to become actual donors. These include permission refusal by the next of kin, incorrect assumptions about medical suitability and, occasionally, an excessive workload in the intensive care unit. Some potential donors currently regarded in Australia as "unrealistic" might become actual donors if attitudes were to change towards ventilation of patients with a clearly hopeless prognosis who have expressed a wish to be organ donors. "Required request" legislation ignores the wishes of the potential donor and "presumed consent" laws also present some ethical difficulties, but a suggested "required response" process could ensure that an individual's wishes concerning organ donation would be known and able to be carried out after death. For the present, however, it is clear that operating within existing Australian legislation and abiding by currently accepted codes of practice, we can still find considerable scope for improving cadaveric organ donation rates.
Encapsulation of Orange Oil (1988)

Oligosaccharides were prepared by the action of alpha-amylase on ordinary corn, waxy corn, amylomaize VII corn, rice, wheat, cassava and potato starches; their compositions, were measured by HPLC on a HPX-42A column. The oligosaccharides were used to encapsulate single-fold orange oil at an optimum infeed concentration and to achieve maximum flavor retention during spray drying. All the oligosaccharides provided ideal viscosity for the infeed mixtures. The spray-dried samples were analyzed for total oil, surface oil, moisture content, shelf life and for emulsion stability by observing optical density changes with time on a centrifuged aqueous mixture. Retention of orange oil during spray drying was best with wheat and amylomaize VII oligosaccharides, whereas waxy corn and cassava oligomers appear to be best for shelf life.
Myosin superfamily evolutionary history (2002)

The superfamily of myosin proteins found in eukaryotic cells is known to contain at least 18 different classes. Members are classified based on the phylogenetic analysis of the head domains located at the amino terminus of the polypeptide. While phylogenetic relationships provide insights into the functional relatedness of myosins within and between families, the evolutionary history of the myosin superfamily is not revealed by such studies. In order to establish the evolutionary history of the superfamily, we analyzed the representation of myosin gene families in a range of organisms covering the taxonomic spectrum. The amino acid sequences of 232 myosin heavy chains, as well as 65 organisms representing the protist, plant, and animal kingdoms, were included in this study. A phylogenetic tree of organisms was constructed based on several complementary taxonomic classification schemes. The results of the analysis support an evolutionary hypothesis in which myosins II and I evolved the earliest of all the myosin groups. Myosins V and XI evolved from a common myosin II-like ancestor, but the two families diverged to either the plant (XI) or animal (V) lineage. Class VII myosin appeared fourth among the families, and classes VI and IX appeared later during the early period of metazoan radiation. Myosins III, XV, and XVIII appeared after this group, and X appeared during the formative phases of vertebrate evolution. The remaining members of the myosin superfamily (IV, VI, XII, XIII, XIV, XVI, and XVII) are limited in distribution to one or more groups of organisms. The evolutionary data permits one to predict the likelihood that myosin genes absent from a given species are either missing (not found yet because of insufficient data) or lost due to a mutation that removed the gene from an organism's lineage. In conclusion, an analysis of the evolutionary history of the myosin superfamily suggests that early-appearing myosin families function as generalists, carrying out a number of functions in a variety of cell types, while more recently evolved myosin families function as specialists and are limited to a few organisms or a few cell types within organisms.
Right-Sided Congestive Heart Failure in Dogs Produced by Controlled Progressive Constriction of the Pulmonary Artery (1955)

Right heart failure was produced in dogs by controlled progressive stenosis of the pulmonary artery. Cardiac enlargement, systemic venous engorgement, tachycardia, hepatomegaly and ascites were consistent findings. The course of cardiac failure was characterized by continual changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics; either cardiac decompensation became progressively severe or circulatory function improved and diuresis resulted. Sodium (Na) retention was always associated with high central venous pressure. Cardiac output was reduced during Na retention except during spontaneous anemia superimposed on cardiac failure. Glomerular filtration rate was frequently normal at the onset of cardiac failure.
Measuring number‐concentrations of nanoparticles and viruses in liquids on‐line (2010)

Abstract BACKGROUND: The surge of studies on artificial and natural nanoparticles has revealed a new world for engineering and life sciences, but in most instances, the small scale has made their number‐concentration determination in liquids a challenging problem. Former success has mostly been limited to special particles measured by indirect techniques. A new approach is required for this determination to facilitate the production and application of nanoparticles in different systems. RESULT: Here, an approach is described using a nanoparticle tracking system based on Brownian motion, which can be used to determine the number‐concentration of nanoparticles, including viruses, in liquids on‐line. Extensive analysis showed the influence of suspension concentration and particle size on the accuracy of measurements. Natural nanoparticles of Adenovirus and several types of artificial nanoparticles, including precision nanobeads, uniform inorganic silica microspheres, monodisperse gold metal colloids and aggregated Aerosil nanoparticles, were measured and compared by counting the monitored particle number obtained using light scattered from individual particles, from which the particle number‐concentration, the product yield and the aggregation could be evaluated. CONCLUSION: This approach was compared with the mathematical calculation method and the emission spectrophotometry technique used for practical applications. The results showed this new approach had improved accuracy for determination of the particle number‐concentration. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry
Fabrication of Anodic Aluminum Oxide Film on Large-Area Glass Substrate (2007)

Fabrication of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) on 4 in. glass substrate was demonstrated. Using unique structure with quadruple contacts as electrode support during anodization, we reported gradual transformation from opaque aluminum to transparent AAO over the entire substrate. In contrast, partial transformation was observed with typical single contact approach where growth of insulating AAO inhibited subsequent anodization by interrupting current flow from the contact point. Results from optical spectroscope revealed moderate reduction in transmittance after AAO formation. Successful development of large-area AAO on glass substrate opens up opportunities for AAO templated devices that require a large footprint.

Effect of Carbon Fiber in Dry Brake Formulations (1991)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Carbon fiber is known to contribute to a new generation of asbestos-free brake friction formulations. Carbon fiber's thermal properties make it a desirable component in applications where high temperatures are involved. It is not an exotic material, and is used commercially by major friction material producers. Carbon fiber is not known to be a hazard to human health or the environment under present conditions of manufacture and use. It is easily processed in dry brake formulations with equipment typically used in the friction industry. The present paper demonstrates how one unique type of carbon fiber can make significant improvements in durability and structural properties of dry brake formulations.</div>

Axo-Glial Interactions Regulate the Localization of Axonal Paranodal Proteins (1999)

Mice incapable of synthesizing the abundant galactolipids of myelin exhibit disrupted paranodal axo-glial interactions in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Using these mutants, we have analyzed the role that axo-glial interactions play in the establishment of axonal protein distribution in the region of the node of Ranvier. Whereas the clustering of the nodal proteins, sodium channels, ankyrin(G), and neurofascin was only slightly affected, the distribution of potassium channels and paranodin, proteins that are normally concentrated in the regions juxtaposed to the node, was dramatically altered. The potassium channels, which are normally concentrated in the paranode/juxtaparanode, were not restricted to this region but were detected throughout the internode in the galactolipid-defi- cient mice. Paranodin/contactin-associated protein (Caspr), a paranodal protein that is a potential neuronal mediator of axon-myelin binding, was not concentrated in the paranodal regions but was diffusely distributed along the internodal regions. Collectively, these findings suggest that the myelin galactolipids are essential for the proper formation of axo-glial interactions and demonstrate that a disruption in these interactions results in profound abnormalities in the molecular organization of the paranodal axolemma.

Dielectric function of hexagonal AlN films determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the vacuum-uv spectral range (1999)

The optical properties of thin epitaxial AlN films have been determined in the 5--10 eV energy range using a spectroscopic ellipsometer operating with synchrotron radiation. Measurements at low temperatures (down to 120 K) were performed to enhance spectral features and to determine the temperature dependence of interband critical points. Our data are in qualitative agreement with recent reflectance experiments but show larger amplitudes and additional structures in the vicinity of the fundamental absorption edge. The possible origin of these structures is discussed on the basis of calculations of the electronic energy bands.

Wide-Range 5.0/3.3/1.8-V I/O Buffer Using 0.35-<spl mu>m 3.3-V CMOS Technology (2008)

A 5.0/3.3/1.8-V tolerant I/O buffer implemented using typical CMOS 2P4M 0.35-mum process is proposed in this paper. Unlike traditional mixed-voltage-tolerant I/O buffers, the proposed I/O buffer can transmit and receive signals with voltage levels of 5.0/3.3/1.8 V. By using a stacked PMOS and a stacked NMOS at the output stage and a dynamic gate bias generator providing appropriate control voltages for the gates of the stacked PMOS, gate-oxide overstress and hot-carrier degradation are avoided. Moreover, gate-tracking and floating n-well circuits are used to remove undesirable leakage current paths. The proposed topology can be applied to any technologies with the constraint of VDD < VDDH < 2 times, which should be considered carefully in sub-100-nm technologies. Measurement results on silicon verify the function and the gate-oxide reliability of the proposed I/O buffer. The maximum transmitting speed of the proposed I/O buffer is measured to be 80/120/84 Mb/s for the supply voltage of I/O buffer at 5.0/3.3/1.8 V, respectively, given the load of 29 pF.
QoS-provisioning downlink resource management in 4G cellular systems (2015)

Long term evolution (LTE) has become one of the dominating communication standards for 4G cellular systems. It employs the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technique to enhance the efficiency of downlink transmissions, which divides the communication spectrum into multiple resource blocks. How to efficiently distribute these resource blocks among user equipments (UEs) is a challenging issue, which also significantly affects the system performance of LTE. Furthermore, in order to provide different quality of service (QoS) for various types of traffic flows, LTE defines two categories of traffic flows: guaranteed bit rate (GBR) and non-guaranteed bit rate (non-GBR). In the paper, we develop an efficient resource management mechanism to allocate downlink resource blocks to UEs so as to support QoS for GBR traffic flows while avoid starving non-GBR traffic flows. Our mechanism takes into account various network conditions such as channel quality, head-of-line (HOL) packet delay, QoS class identifier (QCI) value, and buffer length. Through the LTE-Sim network simulator, we demonstrate that the proposed mechanism can reduce both packet dropping and delay of GBR traffic flows. In addition, non-GBR traffic flows can still keep relatively high throughput to improve system performance.
Light microscopic localization of brain opiate receptors: a general autoradiographic method which preserves tissue quality (1982)

A general technique is described for using slide-mounted unfixed tissue sections to characterize and visualize drug and neurotransmitter receptors in brain or other tissues. The preparation of material, from fresh frozen, unfixed brain to dried sections securely attached to slides, is described in detail. The tissue can be kept intact during incubation at varying temperatures in solutions containing radiolabeled ligand, ions, buffers, and allosteric effectors. Strategies are described for determining optimal stereospecific binding with highest signal-to-noise ratios and for determining that a "meaningful" receptor is being studied. Dry formaldehyde fixation by vapors from heated paraformaldehyde preserves the tissue quality and traps the ligand near its site on the receptor, permitting subsequent histological processing through alcohols, solvents, and aqueous media, including liquid nuclear track emulsion. Visualization of [3H]naloxone- or [3H]enkephalin-labeled opiate receptor distributions in rat and human brains is achieved by tritium-sensitive film or by classical "wet" emulsion autoradiography. The advantages of the film include its ease of use and the ability to quantify receptor density by densitometry which can be computer-assisted. The advantage of the emulsion is the greater resolution and the concomitant appearance of morphology in cell-stained sections. Examples of correlations of opiate receptor distributions which underlying cytoarchitecture illustrate the potential for receptor localization studies.
Age-dependent change of serum 5.ALPHA.-dihydrotestosterone and its relation to testosterone in man. (1977)

Serum 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and testosterone (T) were measured in 78 normal men aged between 12 and 89 years, separating DHT and T by celite micro-column and using reliable radioimmunoassay. In four age groups of young (20-39 years), middle aged (40-59 years) and old (60-79 years and 80-89 years) men, the mean +/- SEM for serum DHT were 98 + 12, 91 +/- 9, 82 +/- 7 and 54 +/- 15 (ng/100 ml), respectively. The corresponding values for T were 696 +/- 27, 698 +/- 18, 624 +/- 20 and 457 +/- 21 (ng/100 ml). DHT and T showed significant correlation in each age group: r = 0.625, p less than 0.05 (young men), r = 0.727, p less than 0.02 (middle aged men), r = 0.673, p less than 0.05 and r = 0.734, p less than 0.02 (old men), respectively. There was a significant decline in DHT and T levels of 80- to 89-year-age group compared those of 30- to 39-year-age group (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.005 respectively). But there was no significant changes in DHT and T levels between other age groups. After 3 daily in injections of 4,000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) the levels of serum DHT of the young group (20-32 years) and old group (72-78 years) increased 2.6 times and 1.9 times more, respectively. T increased 2.7 times and 1.4 times more, respectively.
