Future of platelet formulations with improved clotting profile: a short review on human safety and efficacy data (2019)

BACKGROUND Platelet (PLT) transfusion is a widely used therapy in treating or preventing bleeding and hemorrhage in patients with thrombocytopenia or trauma. Compared to the relative ease of PLT transfusion, current practice for PLT storage at room temperature (RT) for up to 5 to 7 days is inefficient, costly, wasteful, and relatively unsafe. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This study was a review of major advances in PLT derivative products with improved hemostatic potential and safety feature. RESULTS Recent progress in understanding the PLT activation and host clearance mechanisms has led to reassessments of current and new storage conditions that employ refrigeration and/or cryopreservation to overcome storage lesions and significantly extend shelf life of PLTs with reduced risk of pathogen contamination. DISCUSSION It is anticipated that future PLT preservation involving cold, frozen, and/or pathogen reduction strategies in proper PLT additive solutions will enable longer term and safer PLT storage.
P‐53: A New Method for Improvement of Response Time by Data Compression Using Color Space Conversion (2005)

Abstract In recent years, we used overdriving scheme to improve the response time of the liquid crystal. Since conventional overdriving scheme uses memory to perform ideal processing, it is desired to reduce system cost by decreasing the stored data in these SDRAMs. In a general compression method, quantization, sub‐sampling and Block Truncation Coding (BTC) are used, which process data in block and cause blocking effect. Here we propose new data compression method by color space conversion. Because this method compresses luminance and chrominance signal with different ratio, it efficiently reduces errors from block effect in decompressed image.
Theoretical Modeling of Rapid Surface Vaporization with Back Pressure (1979)

In this paper, a theoretical model is developed for rapid surface vaporization into a surrounding ambient atmosphere. The primary emphasis is on metallic surfaces. Power input levels are taken to be low enough so that thermodynamic equilibrium can be assumed before phase change to gas. At high evaporation rates there will be a narrow Knudsen layer region in the gaseous flow just outside the phase interface in which translational nonequilibrium prevails. The modeling treats this layer as a gasdynamic discontinuity and approximate jump conditions are derived. The flow Mach number just outside the Knudsen layer is dictated by the state well away from the surface. Its determination is discussed both for a simple model of transient flow induced by a laser pulse and for the general case of time-varying power input. Examples assume the metallic surface is aluminum and the surrounding air pressure ranges from 1 atm to hard vacuum.

Microinjection of Cre recombinase RNA induces site-specific recombination of a transgene in mouse oocytes (1998)

We have developed a strategy for producing single copy transgenic mouse lines using Cre-loxP site specific recombination. The method is based on transient expression of the recombinase after injection of in vitro transcribed mRNA into the cytoplasm of fertilised eggs containing multiple copies of the transgene. The success rate of the recombination event is 100% (15 out of 15).
Analysis of the performance of LTE systems in an Interleaved F-DAS MIMO indoor environment (2011)

In the present work a novel multi-link MIMO scheme for indoor applications, called Interleaved F-DAS MIMO, is proposed. The performance of an Interleaved F-DAS MIMO deployment in a typical indoor office environment is analyzed, with particular reference to the LTE standard with the help of Ray tracing prediction and an LTE link-level simulator. Results show that the proposed scheme, although simpler and relatively less expensive than conventional co-located MIMO schemes, achieves a similar level of performance in terms of radio coverage and system throughput.
3P-3W UPQC with zig-zag transformer for 3P-4W Distribution System (2012)

In this paper, a new topology is developed for a three-phase four-wire (3P4W) distribution system utilizing a zig-zag transformer along with three-phase threewire (3P3W) Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC).In this proposed topology the neutral point of the star connected transformer, used for the connection of series active power filter (APF) of 3P3W UPQC, is utilized as a fourth wire for 3P4W distribution system. The zig-zag transformer is connected near the load to compensate the neutral current that may flow toward the neutral point of the series transformer of series APF. The series and shunt APF of 3P-3W UPQC are realized by readily available three-leg voltage source inverters (VSIs). For the mitigation of different power quality problems a control technique based on synchronous reference frame (SRF) theory is used for the control of UPQC. In this control scheme of UPQC, the current/voltage control is applied over the fundamental supply currents/voltages instead of fast changing APFs currents/voltages, there by reducing the computational delay and the required sensors. The performance of the proposed topology of UPQC is analyzed through simulations results using MATLAB software with its Simulink and Power System Block set toolboxes.
Real-Time Implementation of Model-Predictive Control on Seven-Level Packed U-Cell Inverter (2016)

In this paper, a model-predictive control (MPC) has been designed and implemented on the packed U-cell (PUC) inverter, which has one isolated dc source and one capacitor as an auxiliary dc link. The MPC is designed to regulate the capacitor voltage at the desired magnitude to have seven voltage levels at the output of the inverter. Since grid-connected application is targeted by this application, the inverter should be capable of supplying requested amount of active and reactive power at the point of common coupling (PCC) as well. Therefore, MPC should also consider the line-current control to monitor the exchange of reactive power with the grid while injecting appropriate active power at low total harmonic distortion (THD). Various experimental tests including change in dc-source voltage, active power variation, and operation at different power factor (PF) have been performed on a laboratory prototype to validate the good performance obtained by the proposed MPC. The dynamic performance of the controller during sudden changes in dc capacitor voltage, supply current, and PF demonstrates the fast and accurate response and the superior operation of the proposed controller.
Performance evaluation of IEEE 802.11a wireless LANs in the presence of ultra-wideband interference (2004)

The performance of an IEEE 802.11a wireless receiver, in the presence of multiple users transmitting ultra-wideband (UWB) interfering signals, is evaluated. The frequency band of interest for the 802.11a system is 5.21-5.23 GHz. The coexistence of the two systems is characterized in terms of 802.11a receiver's bit error rates and throughputs. Our simulations indicate that UWB interferers can cause severe degradation in the attainable throughput of the 802.11a system. However, as the UWB interferers move away from the 802.11a receivers, so does their negative effect on the throughput performance of the 802.11a system.
A new data tablet system for handwriting characters and drawing based on the image processing (2002)

This paper describes the new input system for data tablet based on the observation of handwriting by CCD camera. The system takes the pen movement on the writing plane with 64 gray level sequential images. As the system needs 0.25 sec. for one frame image, we can observe the slow handwriting by this system. The CCD camera takes the sequential images written on the writing pad with a 50/spl times/50 mm frame. After that, the system can extract the online stroke data, that is, the sequential position coordinates from the sequential input images. We can perform the style of the data tablet without sensor table and wired stylus pen. This system is useful for a new data tablet based human friendly input device.
Transforming Growth Factor Beta Family: Insight into the Role of Growth Factors in Regulation of Fracture Healing Biology and Potential Clinical Applications (2015)

The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) family forms a group of three isoforms, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3, with their structure formed by interrelated dimeric polypeptide chains. Pleiotropic and redundant functions of the TGF-β family concern control of numerous aspects and effects of cell functions, including proliferation, differentiation, and migration, in all tissues of the human body. Amongst many cytokines and growth factors, the TGF-β family is considered a group playing one of numerous key roles in control of physiological phenomena concerning maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in the bone tissue. By breaking the continuity of bone tissue, a spread-over-time and complex bone healing process is initiated, considered a recapitulation of embryonic intracartilaginous ossification. This process is a cascade of local and systemic phenomena spread over time, involving whole cell lineages and various cytokines and growth factors. Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies in various models analysing cytokines and growth factors' involvement have shown that TGF-β has a leading role in the fracture healing process. This paper sums up current knowledge on the basis of available literature concerning the role of the TGF-β family in the fracture healing process.
Flexible Nanodielectric Materials with High Permittivity for Power Energy Storage (2013)

Study of flexible nanodielectric materials (FNDMs) with high permittivity is one of the most active academic research areas in advanced functional materials. FNDMs with excellent dielectric properties are demonstrated to show great promise as energy-storage dielectric layers in high-performance capacitors. These materials, in common, consist of nanoscale particles dispersed into a flexible polymer matrix so that both the physical/chemical characteristics of the nanoparticles and the interaction between the nanoparticles and the polymers have crucial effects on the microstructures and final properties. This review first outlines the crucial issues in the nanodielectric field and then focuses on recent remarkable research developments in the fabrication of FNDMs with special constitutents, molecular structures, and microstructures. Possible reasons for several persistent issues are analyzed and the general strategies to realize FNDMs with excellent integral properties are summarized. The review further highlights some exciting examples of these FNDMs for power-energy-storage applications.

<b>Catalysis of the Michael reactions by N,N’-dimethylaminopropyl derivatised micelle templated silica: Effects of solvent and catalyst loading</b> (2004)

A neutral amine templating route was used to prepare dimethylaminopropyl-derivatised micelle templated silicas with various loadings. The resultant materials were characterised by various techniques and were also screened as catalysts in model Michael addition reactions. Results obtained show that materials with surface areas and organic group loading as high as 800 m2g-1 and 3.4 mmol per g of silica, respectively, are obtainable. The materials show moderate to high catalytic activity as well as selectivity in a range of substrates. The activities and selectivities,however, are affected by catalyst loading and type of solvent. KEY WORDS: Catalysis of Michael reactions, N,N'-Dimethylaminopropyl-derivatised micelle templated silicas, Effect of catalyst loading, Solvent effect Bull. Chem. Soc. Ethiop. 2003, 17(2), 219-234.
A study of glycoproteins in human serum and plasma reference standards (HUPO) using multilectin affinity chromatography coupled with RPLC‐MS/MS (2005)

The glycoproteome is a major subproteome present in human plasma. In this study, we isolated and characterized approximately 150 glycoproteins from the human plasma and serum samples provided by HUPO using a multilectin affinity column. The corresponding tryptic digest was separated by RP-HPLC coupled to an IT mass spectrometer (3-D LCQ). Also in this study, a new system, namely an Ettan MDLC system coupled to a linear ITLTQ, was compared with the previous LCQ platform and gave a greater number of protein identifications, as well as better quality. When we compared the composition of the glycoproteomes for the plasma and serum samples there was a close correlation between the samples, except for the absence of fibrinogen from the identified-protein list in the latter sample, which was presumably as a result of the clotting process. In addition, the analysis of the samples from three ethnic specimens, Caucasian American, Asian American, and African American, were very similar but showed a higher angiotensinogen plasma level and a lower histidine-rich glycoprotein level in Caucasian American samples, and a lower vitronectin level in African American blood samples.
Managing data retention policies at scale (2011)

Compliance with regulatory policies on data remains a key hurdle to cloud computing. Policies such as EU privacy, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS place requirements on data availability, integrity, migration, retention, and access, among many others. This paper proposes a policy management service that offers scalable management of data retention policies attached to data objects stored in a cloud environment. The management service includes a highly available and secure encryption key store to manage the encryption keys of data objects. By deleting the encryption key at a specified retention time associated with the data object, we effectively delete the data object and its copies stored in online and offline environments. To achieve scalability, our service uses Hadoop MapReduce to perform parallel management tasks, such as data encryption and decryption, key distribution and retention policy enforcement. A prototype deployed in a 16-machine Linux cluster currently supports 56 MB/sec for encryption, 76 MB/sec for decryption, 31,000 retention policies/sec read and 15,000 retention policies/sec write.
Automated three-dimensional choroidal vessel segmentation of 3D 1060 nm OCT retinal data (2012)

A fully automated, robust vessel segmentation algorithm has been developed for choroidal OCT, employing multiscale 3D edge filtering and projection of "probability cones" to determine the vessel "core", even in the tomograms with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Based on the ideal vessel response after registration and multiscale filtering, with computed depth related SNR, the vessel core estimate is dilated to quantify the full vessel diameter. As a consequence, various statistics can be computed using the 3D choroidal vessel information, such as ratios of inner (smaller) to outer (larger) choroidal vessels or the absolute/relative volume of choroid vessels. Choroidal vessel quantification can be displayed in various forms, focused and averaged within a special region of interest, or analyzed as the function of image depth. In this way, the proposed algorithm enables unique visualization of choroidal watershed zones, as well as the vessel size reduction when investigating the choroid from the sclera towards the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that an automatic choroidal vessel segmentation algorithm is successfully applied to 1060 nm 3D OCT of healthy and diseased eyes.
A Methanol-Tolerant Carbon-Supported Pt−Au Alloy Cathode Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells and Its Evaluation by DFT (2009)

A Pt−Au alloy catalyst of varying compositions is prepared by codeposition of Pt and Au nanoparticles onto a carbon support to evaluate its electrocatalytic activity toward an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with methanol tolerance in direct methanol fuel cells. The optimum atomic weight ratio of Pt to Au in the carbon-supported Pt−Au alloy (Pt−Au/C) as established by cell polarization, linear-sweep voltammetry (LSV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies is determined to be 2:1. A direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) comprising a carbon-supported Pt−Au (2:1) alloy as the cathode catalyst delivers a peak power density of 120 mW/cm2 at 70 °C in contrast to the peak power density value of 80 mW/cm2 delivered by the DMFC with carbon-supported Pt catalyst operating under identical conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on a small model cluster reflect electron transfer from Pt to Au within the alloy to be responsible for the synergistic promotion of the oxygen-reduction reaction on a Pt−Au electrode.
[Animal models of cardiomyopathy]. (2000)

Animal models of cardiomyopathy have been used in many studies for our understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease. Syrian hamster, BIO 14.6, one of the most widely used models of cardiomyopathy, was reported to be caused by large deletion in the exon 1 and the promoter region of the delta-sarcoglycan gene. Cardiac hypertrophy or heart failure has been induced in dogs, rabbits, rats and many other animals by various manipulations such as drugs, pressure and/or volume overload and chronic rapid pacing. Recently, transgenic or knockout mice were examined to investigate the pathogenesis and development of the disease. It is important to select appropriate models for the aim of the studies.
The Iconoscope-A Modern Version of the Electric Eye (1934)

This paper gives a preliminary outline of work with a device which is truly an electric eye, the iconoscope, as a means of viewing a scene for television transmission and similar applications. It required ten years to bring the original idea to its present state of perfection. The iconoscope is a vacuum device with a photo-sensitive surface of a unique type. This photo-sensitive surface is scanned by a cathode ray beam which serves as a type of inertialess commutator. A new principle of operation permits very high output from the device. The sensitivity of the iconoscope, at present, is approximately equal to that of photographic film operating at the speed of a motion picture camera. The resolution of the iconoscope is high, fully adequate for television. The paper describes the theory of the device, its characteristics and mode of operation. In its application to television the iconoscope replaces mechanical scanning equipment and several stages of amplification. The whole system is entirely electrical without a single mechanically moving part. The reception of the image is accomplished by a kinescope or cathode ray receiving tube described in an earlier paper. The tube opens wide possibilities for applications in many fields as an electric eye, which is sensitive not only to the visible spectrum but also to the infra-red and ultra-violet region.
Fingernail analysis management system using microscopy sensor and blockchain technology (2018)

In traditional Chinese medicine, the growth situation of the surface of nails reflects the physiological condition of the human body. Diagnosis by nail can effectively predict and prevent disease. Human nails have a high degree of uniqueness, and it can be used for biometric recognition. In this work, microscope sensor was used to capture the clear image and segment the lunula and nail plate effectively through image preprocessing. Fingernails’ image is managed as the identity authentication. Histogram of oriented gradients and local binary patterns are used to capture the characteristic value. It uses support vector machine and random forest tree for classification. The performance of each feature extraction algorithm was analyzed for the two classifiers and the deep neural network algorithm was used comparatively. Furthermore, the security and privacy of the Internet of Things is still a challenge. This work uses the highly anonymous blockchain technology to effectively protect data privacy and manage each user’s data through the blockchain, in which any change or manipulation can be recorded and tracked, and the data security is improved. Therefore, this article presents a nail analysis management system with the use of microscopy sensor and blockchain.
