Amphiphilic aluminium(III) and gallium(III) corroles (2007)

The preparation and spectroscopic properties of a series of metallocorroles with polar head groups CHO and CH = C ( CN )( COOH ) are reported, as well as the X-ray crystal structure of 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrolatoaluminium(III)bispyridine (triclinic space group (P-1) with unit cell parameters: a = 9.426(1) Å; b = 13.202(1) Å; c = 19.936(1) Å; α = 74.19(1)°; β = 78.47(1)°; γ = 75.75(1)°; V = 2289.57(8) Å 3 ). Amphiphilic aluminium(III) and gallium(III) corroles exhibit electronic absorption (Soret peaks between 410 and 448 nm; Q-bands between 584 and 638 nm) and fluorescence (band maxima between 634 and 706 nm) at lower energies than their hydrophobic analogs.
Evidence for a functional interaction between the V1/V2 and C4 domains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 (1994)

The domains of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein that are required for envelope function have been partially characterized. Little is known, however, about the nature of the interactions between these domains. To identify regions of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein that are involved in interactions necessary for proper envelope function, we constructed a series of 14 envelope recombinants between the env genes of two HIV-1 isolates. The envelope chimeras were examined for their ability to induce syncytia, to be proteolytically processed, and to function during a spreading viral infection. Our results demonstrate that the exchange between the two isolates of the first and second hypervariable regions (V1/V2) of gp120 results in defects in envelope glycoprotein processing, syncytium formation, and infectivity. Long-term passage of cultures infected with virus bearing a V1/V2 chimeric envelope glycoprotein leads to the emergence of a revertant virus with replication characteristics comparable to those of the wild type. Analysis of the revertant indicated that an Ile-->Met change in the C4 region of gp120 (between hypervariable regions V4 and V5) is responsible for the revertant phenotype. This single amino acid change restores infectivity without significantly affecting gp160 processing, CD4 binding, or the levels of virion-associated gp120. While the Ile-->Met change in C4 greatly enhances the fusogenic potential of the V1/V2 chimeric envelope glycoprotein, it has a detrimental effect on syncytium formation when analyzed in the context of the wild-type envelope. These results suggest that an interaction required for proper envelope glycoprotein function occurs between the V1/V2 and C4 regions of gp120.
Managed retreat through voluntary buyouts of flood-prone properties (2019)

Retreat from some areas will become unavoidable under intensifying climate change. Existing deployments of managed retreat are at small scale compared to potential future needs, leaving open questions about where, when, and how retreat under climate change will occur. Here, we analyze more than 40,000 voluntary buyouts of flood-prone properties in the United States, in which homeowners sell properties to the government and the land is restored to open space. In contrast to model-based evaluation of potential future retreat, local governments in counties with higher population and income are more likely to administer buyouts. The bought-out properties themselves, however, are concentrated in areas of greater social vulnerability within these counties, pointing to the importance of assessing the equity of buyout implementation and outcomes. These patterns demonstrate the challenges associated with locally driven implementation of managed retreat and the potential benefits of experimentation with different approaches to retreat.
Double-Patterning Technique Using Plasma Treatment of Photoresist (2007)

The double-patterning process was investigated for line-and-space (L/S) patterns of 65 nm half pitch [k1=0.286, 0.85-numerical aperture (NA) ArF dry system] by plasma treatment of photoresist (PR). The sequence of this patterning is exposure–plasma treatment–exposure–etching. Si thin-film passivation and HBr plasma treatment (HPT) were applied, and Si thin-film passivation is preferred to HPT in terms of intermixing prevention and etch selectivity. For planarization of the topographic surface, a thick bottom PR was coated on the pattern after the first exposure. Si thin-film passivation and the thick bottom PR enabled the second exposure to be separated from the first exposure. After the etching process was completed down to the nitride hardmask material, the L/S patterns of 65 nm half pitch were achieved at the full-chip level by virtue of the Si thin-film passivation and thick bottom PR. In the meantime, considering the layout characteristic and process flexibility, layout decomposition and the optical proximity correction (OPC) process were performed. Even though the 65 nm half pitch is defined to be such that k1=0.286, it is believed that this double patterning scheme we suggested can be applied at the minimum pitch over the theoretical limit below 0.25. Consequently, it is expected that the double-patterning technique (DPT) process will have an important role in the extremely low k1 lithography beyond the 32 nm node.
Conformational Stability and Binding Properties of Porcine Odorant Binding Protein (1999)

Apparently homogeneous odorant binding protein purified from pig nasal mucosa (pOBP) exhibited subunit molecular masses of 17 223, 17 447, and 17 689 (major component) Da as estimated by ESI/MS. According to gel filtration, this protein, its truncated forms, and/or its variants are homodimeric under physiologic conditions (pH 6-7, 0.1 M NaCl). The dimer if monomer equilibrium shifts toward a prevalent monomeric form at pH <4.5. Velocity sedimentation reveals a monomeric state of OBP at both pH 7.2 and 3.5, indicating a pressure-induced dissociation of the homodimer. High-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (HS-DSC) shows that the unfolding transition of pOBP is reversible at neutral pH. It is characterized by the transition temperature of 69.23 degrees C and an enthalpy of 391.1 kJ/mol per monomer. The transition heat capacity curve of pOBP is well-approximated by the two-state model on the level of subunit, indicating that the two monomers behave independently. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) shows that at physiological pH pOBP binds 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) and 3,7-dimethyloctan-1-ol (DMO) with association constants of 3.19 x 10(6) and 4.94 x 10(6) M(-)(1) and enthalpies of -97.2 and -87.8 kJ/mol, respectively. The binding stoichiometry of both ligands is nearly one molecule of ligand per homodimer of pOBP. The interaction of pOBP with both ligands is enthalpically driven with an unfavorable change of entropy. The binding affinity of pOBP with IBMP does not change significantly at acidic pH, while the binding stoichiometry is nearly halved. According to HS-DSC data, the interaction with IBMP and DMO leads to a substantial stabilization of the pOBP folded structure, which is manifested by the increase in the unfolding temperature and enthalpy. The calorimetric data allow us to conclude that the mechanism of binding of the studied odorants to pOBP is not dominated by a hydrophobic effect related to any change in the hydration state of protein and ligand groups but, most likely, is driven by polar and van der Waals interactions.
Gluten-free diet and quality of life in patients with screen-detected celiac disease. (2002)

Gluten-free diet was associated with improved quality of life for patients with symptom-detected celiac disease and patients with screen-detected celiac disease. Concerns about the burden of a gluten-free diet, at least over the short term, may be unfounded.

First-order Raman spectra have been measured at room temperature in five materials of the ${D}_{4h}$ point group: Ti${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$, Mg${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$, Zn${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$, Fe${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$ and Mn${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$. The experiments utilized an argon laser light source and photo-electric detection. The four Raman-active phonon frequencies, predicted by group theory to have symmetries ${A}_{1g}$, ${B}_{1g}$, ${B}_{2g}$, and ${E}_{g}$, were observed and classified in each material. Each spectrum exhibited strong lines of ${A}_{1g}$ and ${E}_{g}$ symmetries, a weak high-frequency line of ${B}_{2g}$ symmetry, and a very sharp ${B}_{1g}$ line at quite low frequency (less than 100 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ in all the materials except Ti${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$).
Structural analysis of the <i>N</i>-glycans from human immunoglobulin A1: comparison of normal human serum immunoglobulin A1 with that isolated from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (1994)

The primary structures of the N-linked oligosaccharides from normal human serum IgA1 were determined by a combination of sequential exoglycosidase digestion, Bio-Gel P-4 chromatography, anion-exchange chromatography and one-dimensional n.m.r. spectroscopy. Three major N-linked disialylated biantennary-complex-type structures were found (55%). The remaining N-linked oligosaccharides consisted of at least nine further structures, some of which (7%) were of the triantennary type and included disialylated triantennary oligosaccharides with outer-arm fucose substitution [Fuc alpha 1-3(4)]. Compared with IgG, the N-glycan structures on IgA are more completely processed: the outer arms have a higher proportion of galactose and sialic acid, and only trace levels of incompletely galactosylated oligosaccharides, commonly found on IgG, were detected. Analysis of the sialylated O-glycans revealed that 64% were [NeuAc2 alpha 3(6)]2Gal beta 3GalNAc and 9% were [NeuAc2 alpha 3(6)]-Gal beta 4GlcNAc beta 6[NeuAc2 alpha 3(6)Gal beta 3]GalNAc, and 27% were monosialylated. The N-linked glycosylation of both serum IgA1 and IgG isolated from a group of six normal individuals was compared with that from ten patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In contrast with the hypogalactosylation found in IgG from diseased sera, there was no evidence of an equivalent decrease in the galactosylation of the IgA1 oligosaccharides. In addition, the N-glycosylation of IgA1 was remarkably consistent within the group of normal individuals. These data suggest that incomplete galactosylation of N-linked glycans and its augmentation in RA does not extend to IgA1 and that the RA-associated galactosyltransferase deficiency may be restricted to cells producing gamma-chain.
A quadrature switched capacitor power amplifier in 65nm CMOS (2015)

This paper presents a quadrature switched-capacitor power amplifier (SCPA) that achieves similar output power and efficiency as polar/EER based digital PAs. It combines in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) signals on a shared capacitor array in the charge domain. The SCPA utilizes a class-G dual-supply architecture to improve efficiency at backoff. This counteracts losses associated with the signal combination. Unlike polar/EER counterparts, the quadrature SCPA requires no wideband phase modulator or delay matching circuitry. The SCPA delivers a peak output power of 20.5 dBm with a peak PAE of 20%.
<i>Brucella abortus</i> Transits through the Autophagic Pathway and Replicates in the Endoplasmic Reticulum of Nonprofessional Phagocytes (1998)

Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that replicates within a membrane-bounded compartment. In this study, we have examined the intracellular pathway of the virulent B. abortus strain 2308 (S2308) and the attenuated strain 19 (S19) in HeLa cells. At 10 min after inoculation, both bacterial strains are transiently detected in phagosomes characterized by the presence of early endosomal markers such as the early endosomal antigen 1. At approximately 1 h postinoculation, bacteria are located within a compartment positive for the lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) marker sec61beta but negative for the mannose 6-phosphate receptors and cathepsin D. Interestingly, this compartment is also positive for the autophagosomal marker monodansylcadaverin, suggesting that S2308 and S19 are located in autophagic vacuoles. At 24 h after inoculation, attenuated S19 is degraded in lysosomes, while virulent S2308 multiplies within a LAMP- and cathepsin D-negative but sec61beta- and protein disulfide isomerase-positive compartment. Furthermore, treatment of infected cells with the pore-forming toxin aerolysin from Aeromonas hydrophila causes vacuolation of the bacterial replication compartment. These results are compatible with the hypothesis that pathogenic B. abortus exploits the autophagic machinery of HeLa cells to establish an intracellular niche favorable for its replication within the ER.
The ArabidopsisAt1g30680 gene encodes a homologue to the phage T7 gp4 protein that has both DNA primase and DNA helicase activities (2013)

The results presented here indicate that the Arabidopsis phage T7 gp4/Twinkle homologue has both DNA primase and DNA helicase activities and may provide these functions for organelle DNA replication.
Activation of tumoricidal properties in mouse macrophages by lymphokines encapsulated in liposomes. (1979)

Cell-free culture supernatants rich in macrophage-activating factor (MAF) activity obtained from mitogen-stimulated F344 rat lymphocytes have been encapsulated within liposomes of differing size and lipid composition and their ability to render normal mouse macrophages cytotoxic for tumor cells in vitro has been compared with that of unencapsulated (free) MAF added to the extracellular medium. Normal macrophages from C57BL/6, C3H/Hen, and C57BL/6 X C3H F1 mice treated with liposome-encapsulated MAF exhibited significant in vitro cytotoxicity against syngeneic and allogeneic tumor cells but did not kill nontumorigenic normal cells. Dose-response measurements revealed that liposome-encapsulated MAF was able to render macrophages tumoricidal at concentrations of at least 20,000 times lower than free MAF. Liposomes containing MAF were able to activate macrophages in the presence of p-nitrophenyl-2-O-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside, a potent inhibitor of free MAF, indicating that encapsulated MAF was protected within liposomes and that liposome-mediated activation was not caused by small amounts of MAF released into the culture medium from "leaky" liposomes. Liposome-encapsulated MAF was also able to activate macrophages which were refractory to activation by free MAF following either removal of presumably surface receptors for MAF by pronase and/or alpha-L-fucosidase or occupation of the MAF receptor on macrophages by fucose-binding plant lectins (Ulex europaeus 1 and Lotus tetragonolobus agglutinins). Also, populations of nontumoricidal inflammatory tissue macrophages, which were inherently unresponsive to free MAF, would be rendered tumoricidal in vitro by incubation with liposome-encapsulated MAF. Collectively, the data suggest that MAF can render macrophages tumoricidal by acting on intracellular sites.
Electric‐Field‐Guided Growth of Carbon Nanotubes during DC Plasma‐Enhanced CVD (2006)

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been grown aligned with the directions of electric fields in a DC plasma‐enhanced (DC PE) CVD process. The CNTs can be grown at various predefined angles with respect to the substrate. It is shown that the local electric field, even at the very surface of the substrates, can be inclined. The strength of the electric field inside the plasma sheath is estimated and the electric‐field directions near the surface of Si substrate where the CNTs grow are modeled. By control of the directions of these electric fields, several novel CNT morphologies are demonstrated, which could be useful for various applications.
Aquatic Photosynthesis (2007)

Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and ecology of photosynthesis in aquatic environments. This second edition, thoroughly revised to bring it up to date, describes how one of the most fundamental metabolic processes evolved and transformed the surface chemistry of the Earth. The book focuses on recent biochemical and biophysical advances and the molecular biological techniques that have made them possible. In ten chapters that are self-contained but that build upon information presented earlier, the book starts with a reductionist, biophysical description of the photosynthetic reactions. It then moves through biochemical and molecular biological patterns in aquatic photoautotrophs, physiological and ecological principles, and global biogeochemical cycles. The book considers applications to ecology, and refers to historical developments. It can be used as a primary text in a lecture course, or as a supplemental text in a survey course such as biological oceanography, limnology, or biogeochemistry.
Micrometastases and isolated tumor cells: relevant and robust or rubbish? (MIRROR): preliminary results of the MIRROR study from the Dutch breast cancer trialists' group (BOOG). (2009)

Abstract Abstract #23 Background&#x2028; The sentinel lymph node procedure (SNP) has largely replaced axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with early breast cancer (BC). Intensified examination of the sentinel node (SN) results in the detection of isolated tumor cells (ITCs) and micrometastases, whereas its relevance is still debated. This retrospective cohort study is the first study on this topic which includes only patients who underwent a SNP, with central review of all SN slides, and with separate analyses for the impact of administration of adjuvant systemic therapy.&#x2028; Methods&#x2028; Patients operated for BC in all Dutch hospitals in the years 1998-2005, having favourable tumor characteristics (&gt; 35 year; tumor size 1-3 cm and differentiation grade I-II OR tumor size ≤ 1 cm irrespective of grade), having undergone a SNP with pN0(i-), pN0(i+), or pN1mi as final N-stage were selected. Patients were classified in cohort I in case of pN0(i-) and no adjuvant systemic therapy (AST), in cohort II in case of pN0(i+)/pN1mi and no AST, and in cohort III in case of pN0(i+)/pN1mi with AST. SNs were centrally reviewed and restaged according to 6th TNM classification. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was analysed for the 3 different cohorts.&#x2028; Results&#x2028; So far, data are available for 1,744 of the 3,240 selected patients (cohort I n=935; cohort II n=340, cohort III n=469) with a median follow-up of 5.5 years. At diagnosis median age was 58, 56 and 56 years (p &lt; 0.01) and median tumor size was 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5 cm (p &lt; 0.0001). Differentiation grade and hormone receptor status were equally distributed among the three cohorts. Adjuvant systemic therapy in cohort III consisted of chemotherapy (10%), hormonal therapy (63%), or both (27%). The 5-yr DFS is 84% in cohort I, 73% in cohort II, and 86% in cohort III (p = 0.003 cohort I vs II; p &lt; 0.0001 cohort II vs III). Correction for baseline characteristics did not lead to a relevant change in the results.&#x2028; Conclusion&#x2028; BC patients with ITCs or micrometastases as final N-stage after SNP have a significantly worse 5-yr DFS as compared to patients having no ITCs or micrometastases, independent of primary tumor characteristics. Adjuvant systemic therapy significantly improves the 5-yr DFS in the group of patients with ITCs or micrometastases in the lymph node(s). At the meeting, updated analyses will be available for the entire MIRROR study population.&#x2028; Support: The Netherlands organization for health research and development (ZonMw) and all Dutch CCCs.

SP6 RNA polymerase stutters when initiating from an AAA… sequence (1991)

The 16S ribosomal RNA gene of Escherichia coli was placed under the transcriptional control of consensus and modified T7 promoters and a modified SP6 promoter. Both T7 and SP6 polymerases faithfully transcribed the coding sequence (beginning at the +1 position) of each construct, although SP6 polymerase was five-fold more effective than T7 polymerase in initiating with the AAAUUG... sequence. An appreciable fraction of the SP6 transcript molecules contained additional adenosines in the -1, -2, -3, -4, and -5 positions. The transcripts containing additional residues constituted approximately 40-50% of the total SP6 transcription products. Neither the nature nor extent of the additional residues was affected by replacing the pppA 5'-end by pA. Since the identity of the inserted residues does not correspond to the sequence of the template, these additional nucleosides must result from 'stuttering' of the SP6 enzyme at the -1 to +3 positions during initiation of transcription.
