A pathobiologic overview of metastasis. (1977)

We control the nucleation and propagation of topological magnetic solitons in synthetic ferrimagnetic (CoFeB/Ru) N superlattices (N = 6). This is achieved by carefully tuning the anisotropy and thickness of one of the edge layers, making it different from the other layers of the superlattice. Sharp solitons can be nucleated at one edge of the system, then unidirectionally propagated using external magnetic fields. Experimental results are modeled with macrospin simulations. We present a numerical phase diagram which maps the general behavior for the nucleation and propagation of solitons in ferrimagnets.
A Natural Classification of Curves and Surfaces With Reflection Properties (1996)

Parabolic mirrors and elliptic domes (whispering galleries) are familiar examples of focally reflective surfaces. In this paper we show that only conic curves and their corresponding surfaces of revolution (and in degenerate cases, lines and planes) are focally reflective. In [1], curves and surfaces with reflection properties were classified by solving differential equations in polar and spherical coordinates. Here we use a coordinate-free method to achieve the same classification by relating reflection properties to the defining focal properties of conics. The well-known orthogonality property of confocal conics comes as a bonus.
Cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes. IV. Preparation of heterologous antibody to human lymphotoxin. (1974)

Antibody to human lymphotoxin was elicited in rabbits immunized with partially purified supernatants of human spleen cells stimulated by phytohemagglutinin; Anti-LT activity, assayed by neutralizing soluble LT toxicity to indicator mouse L cells, is confined to the immunoglobulin fraction of the serum; it cannot be removed by adsorption to L cells, human fibroblasts or lymphocytes, or to human serum. Anti-LT activity is removed by immunoadsorption to Sepharose conjugated with goat antisera to rabbit 7S immunoglobulin; partial recovery of anti-LT activity is effected by elution with high molarity acid buffer. The amounts of antisera necessary to effect neutralization are linearly proportional to LT concentration. Anti-human LT neutralizes the toxicity of supernatants of human lymphocytes activated by other, non-PHA mitogens (antigens to which the lymphocyte donors are sensitive) and allogeneic lymphocytes in mixed leucocyte culture. However, anti-human LT is specific for human LT as it will not neutralize guinea pig or rat LT.

symTone: two-handed manipulation of tone reproduction curves (2006)

Figure 1: Using the two cursors in symTone allows users to quickly explore many different tone-mapppings. We present symTone, a dual-mouse, symmetric image manipulation application. symTone includes a symmetric method for manipulat-ing a tone reproduction curve using two standard USB mice. The symTone technique is an important contribution because the two mice are manipulating a geometric object as a tool to improve the underlying digital image, thus a spatial object (the curve) is being used to manipulate non-spatial data (the image tones). Our empir-ical evaluation of the technique shows that symmetric interaction can be effective for manipulating non-spatial data. This novel tech-nique offers a significant improvement in ease of use and is a pre-cursor to more advanced symmetric tone-mapping applications.
Development of a temporal fundamental frequency coding strategy for cochlear implants (2011)

A sound-coding strategy for users of cochlear implants, named enhanced-envelope-encoded tone (eTone), was developed to improve coding of fundamental frequency (F0) in the temporal envelopes of the electrical stimulus signals. It is based on the advanced combinational encoder (ACE) strategy and includes additional processing that explicitly applies F0 modulation to channel envelope signals that contain harmonics of prominent complex tones. Channels that contain only inharmonic signals retain envelopes normally produced by ACE. The strategy incorporates an F0 estimator to determine the frequency of modulation and a harmonic probability estimator to control the amount of modulation enhancement applied to each channel. The F0 estimator was designed to provide an accurate estimate of F0 with minimal processing lag and robustness to the effects of competing noise. Error rates for the F0 estimator and accuracy of the harmonic probability estimator were compared with previous approaches and outcomes demonstrated that the strategy operates effectively across a range of signals and conditions that are relevant to cochlear implant users.
Single-crystal zirconium carbide as a high-temperature thermionic cathode material (1989)

Experiments to determine the feasibility of using transition metal carbides as stable thermionic cathodes at temperatures exceeding 2000 K are discussed. The primary emphasis here is electron emission and thermal stability properties of single crystals of ZrC. To obtain accurate emission versus temperature data, the spectral emissivity at 0.65 mu m of single-crystal ZrC specimens was measured in the temperature range 1200<T<2400 K. The spectral emissivity was determined to be isotropic with respect to crystalline orientation within the uncertainty of the measurements. Effective thermionic work function data are reported for three crystal faces of ZrC, within the temperature range 1800<T<2500 K. These results are plotted to show the temperature dependence of the work function. To date, the lowest work functions (3.2-3.4 eV) have been observed on the [210] plane. Volatility measurements on single-crystal specimens are reported. A figure of merit comparison with other cathode materials shows that if high current densities are desired and high temperatures are either mandated or are not a problem, ZrC would excel.<<ETX>>

Major Structural Differences and Novel Potential Virulence Mechanisms from the Genomes of Multiple Campylobacter Species (2004)

Sequencing and comparative genome analysis of four strains of Campylobacter including C. lari RM2100, C. upsaliensis RM3195, and C. coli RM2228 has revealed major structural differences that are associated with the insertion of phage- and plasmid-like genomic islands, as well as major variations in the lipooligosaccharide complex. Poly G tracts are longer, are greater in number, and show greater variability in C. upsaliensis than in the other species. Many genes involved in host colonization, including racR/S, cadF, cdt, ciaB, and flagellin genes, are conserved across the species, but variations that appear to be species specific are evident for a lipooligosaccharide locus, a capsular (extracellular) polysaccharide locus, and a novel Campylobacter putative licABCD virulence locus. The strains also vary in their metabolic profiles, as well as their resistance profiles to a range of antibiotics. It is evident that the newly identified hypothetical and conserved hypothetical proteins, as well as uncharacterized two-component regulatory systems and membrane proteins, may hold additional significant information on the major differences in virulence among the species, as well as the specificity of the strains for particular hosts.
NMR Logging Tool Development: Laboratory Studies of Tight Gas Sands and Artificial Porous Material (1982)

ABSTRACT We report proton. longitudinal relaxation (T1) measurements on water-saturated samples of Western Tight Sas Sand Core and artifioal porous materials. The artificial samples, with well-characterized and nearly uniform pore structure, serve as a calibration standard for preliminary-efforts at inverting the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance relaxation data on the Gas Sand core samples to obtain a distribution of pore surface-to-volume ratios. The distributions obtained show good to excellent agreement with those obtained by mercury porosimetry on the same samples. Various possible effects are discussed, which could account for the discrepancies observed.
Shiga/verocytotoxins and Shiga/verotoxigenic Escherichia coli in animals. (1999)

Vero/Shiga toxins (VT/Stx) have an A-B structure: the A subunit carries the enzymatic activity and the B subunit binds the toxin to the membrane receptor (Gb3 or Gb4). The VT/Stx inhibit protein synthesis in the target eucaryotic cells, mainly the endothelial cells of blood vessels. The VT/Stx are subdivided into two families. VT1/Stx1 is a homogeneous family of toxins identical to the Stx of Shigella dysenteriae. VT2/Stx2 is a more heterogeneous family of toxins more distantly related to this Stx toxin. The VT2/Stx2 variants can be distinguished by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or the reaction with monoclonal antibodies. The VT/Stx-producing Escherichia coli are also subdivided into two main groups on the basis of the presence or absence of additional properties: the enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) induce the formation of attaching/effacing lesions and carry a 60 MD plasmid encoding a specific haemolysin (the enterohaemolysin); the vero/shiga-toxigenic E. coli (VTEC/STEC) do not show these properties. The EHEC are isolated from humans and ruminants, especially young calves. They are associated with haemorrhagic enterocolitis and its sequelae in humans, the haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS). The VT/Stx play a role in the occurrence of blood in the faeces and in the HUS by their action on the endothelial cells of blood vessels in the intestinal submucosa and in the renal glomeruli, after resorption through the intestinal walls. The VTEC/STEC are isolated from piglets, calves and humans. In recently weaned piglets, they cause the oedema disease, an enterotoxaemia characterized by subcutaneous, mesenteric and cerebral oedemas, with nervous disorders as main clinical signs. The oedema disease is the consequence of the action of the VT/Stx on the endothelial cells of blood vessels in various organs. In calves and humans, the role in disease of VTEC/STEC is controversial, but they could be associated with some cases of diarrhoea and HUS. The case of the O157:H7 EHEC which are present in healthy cattle of various ages, but are highly virulent for humans is of special interest. The potential zoonotic aspect of VT/Stx-producing E. coli infections in animals is detailed chapter by chapter. Prophylaxis of these infections by vaccination is the subject of the discussion on the future of the research studies on these pathogenic bacteria.

A new method to calculate the camera focusing area and player position on playfield in soccer video (2005)

Sports video enrichment is attracting many researchers. People want to appreciate some highlight segments with cartoon. 
In order to automatically generate these cartoon video, we have to estimate the players' and ball's 3D position. In this 
paper, we propose an algorithm to cope with the former problem, i.e. to compute players' position on court. For the 
image with sufficient corresponding points, the algorithm uses these points to calibrate the map relationship between 
image and playfield plane (called as homography). For the images without enough corresponding points, we use global 
motion estimation (GME) and the already calibrated image to compute the images' homographies. Thus, the problem 
boils down to estimating global motion. To enhance the performance of global motion estimation, two strategies are 
exploited. The first one is removing the moving objects based on adaptive GMM playfield detection, which can 
eliminate the influence of non-still object; The second one is using LKT tracking feature points to determine horizontal 
and vertical translation, which makes the optimization process for GME avoid being trapped into local minimum. Thus, 
if some images of a sequence can be calibrated directly from the intersection points of court line, all images of the 
sequence can by calibrated through GME. When we know the homographies between image and playfield, we can 
compute the camera focusing area and players' position in real world. We have tested our algorithm on real video and 
the result is encouraging.
Intravitreal Injection of Octreotide Acetate (1997)

This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of injecting the somatostatin analogue, octreotide acetate (OA), into the vitreous cavity. Previous work suggests that octreotide effectively inhibits angiogenesis in vitro, thus its use in vivo may slow the progression of proliferative eye disease. Fifty micrograms of aqueous OA in 50 microliters aqueous solution was injected into the mid-vitreous of kitten eyes (n = 6), and OA levels were monitored over 4 days. A long-acting release form of octreotide (OA-LAR) was also injected into the mid-vitreous of rabbit eyes at doses of 0.36 (n = 16), 1.1 (n = 1), 2.1 (n = 1), 4.05 (n = 1), 8.2 (n = 1), and 36 mg (n = 3) in solution; and octreotide concentrations were measured at various time points over 42 days. OA concentrations were determined by a highly specific radioimmunoassay. Aqueous octreotide was eliminated rapidly (t1/2 = 16 hours) from the vitreous of the kitten eye, with only negligible amounts recoverable 4 days post-injection. In the long-acting form, OA in the rabbit eye reached peak levels at 28 days. By 42 days, OA levels had declined to the 14-day level. Doses of OA-LAR of 1.1 mg or less produced no gross evidence of clinical toxicity and elicited no grossly visible ocular side effects. Doses greater than 1.1 mg produced significant toxicity, including cataracts and rubeosis. The 28-day peak release for long-acting OA implies that monthly intravitreal injections could provide continual high levels of OA. Intravitreal injection of long-acting OA provides sustained, high concentrations of drug, and deserves further study as a potential treatment of proliferative eye diseases.
Near-Neighbor Algorithms for Processing Bearing Data (1989)

Abstract : The authors discuss the use of near-neighbor algorithms for correlating sets of tracks and sensor data on large numbers of rapidly moving objects. By investigating the scaling of such algorithms with the numbers of elements in the data sets, one finds that near-neighbor algorithms need not be universally more cost-effective than brute force methods. While the data access time of near-neighbor techniques scales with the number of objects N better than brute force, the cost of setting up the data structure could scale worse than brute force by a multiplicative factor of log N in an extreme case. For cases in which near-neighbor algorithms are advantageous, the authors describe how such techniques could be used to correlate three-dimensional tracks with bearing data recorded as two angles (theta, phi) from a single sensor. The paper then presents a high-speed algorithm for fusing bearing data from three or more sensors with overlapping fields of view in order to obtain the three-dimensional positions of the objects being observed. The algorithm permits the use of near-neighbor techniques, reducing the scaling of the problem from N to the m power to N lnN, where N is the number of objects in the common domain of observation, and m is the number of sensors involved. Numerical tests indicate the relative efficiencies of typical near-neighbor techniques in solving the multisensor angle-to-position fusion problem. Keywords: Passive sensors.
Palladium carbene complexes derived from imidazolium-linked ortho-cyclophanes (2001)

Reaction of imidazolium-linked ortho-cyclophanes with nickel(II) and palladium(II) salts in the presence of acetate base led to the formation of complexes where a metal centre is bound by a pair of heterocyclic carbenes which themselves are part of a cyclophane skeleton. These cyclophane–metal complexes have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy and (for five complexes) X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes are highly active as promoters of Heck and Suzuki couplings, with preliminary studies showing Heck reactions with turnover numbers approaching 107.
Biomimetic approaches to bionic touch through a peripheral nerve interface (2015)

State-of-the-art prosthetic hands nearly match the dexterity of the human hand, and sophisticated approaches have been developed to control them intuitively. However, grasping and dexterously manipulating objects relies heavily on the sense of touch, without which we would struggle to perform even the most basic activities of daily living. Despite the importance of touch, not only in motor control but also in affective communication and embodiment, the restoration of touch through bionic hands is still in its infancy, a shortcoming that severely limits their effectiveness. Here, we focus on approaches to restore the sense of touch through an electrical interface with the peripheral nerve. First, we describe devices that can be chronically implanted in the nerve to electrically activate nerve fibers. Second, we discuss how these interfaces have been used to convey basic somatosensory feedback. Third, we review what is known about how the somatosensory nerve encodes information about grasped objects in intact limbs and discuss how these natural neural codes can be exploited to convey artificial tactile feedback. Finally, we offer a blueprint for how these codes could be implemented in a neuroprosthetic device to deliver rich, natural, and versatile tactile sensations.
Synthesis of Phenothiazine Derivatives. V (1962)

The Beckmann rearrangement of 3-hydroxyimino-1, 2-dihydro-3H-pyrido [3, 2, 1-kl]-phenothiazine with polyphosphoric acid afforded 3-imino-3H-pyrido [3, 2, 1-kl] phenothiazine. The Schmidt reaction of 1, 2-dihydro-3H-pyrido [3, 2, 1-kl] phenothiazin-3-one afforded 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-[1, 4]-diazepino [6, 5, 4-kl] phenothiazin-4-one whose reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gave 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-[1, 4]-diazepino [6, 5, 4-kl]-phenothiazine. The structure of these compounds was clarified.
VICKZ proteins: a multi‐talented family of regulatory RNA‐binding proteins (2005)

The highly conserved VICKZ (Vg1 RBP/Vera, IMP-1,2,3, CRD-BP, KOC, ZBP-1) family of RNA-binding proteins recognize specific cis-acting elements in a variety of different RNAs and have been implicated in cell polarity and migration, cell proliferation, and cancer. In just the last two years, the use of transgenic mice, antisense RNA, and RNAi (RNA interference) techniques have contributed to our understanding of the roles of these proteins and how they interface with many diverse processes in cells. In this article, I will review the recent advances relating to VICKZ proteins and try to suggest a framework for understanding how, in conjunction with other RNA-binding proteins, they participate in a combinatorial fashion to help determine the fate of their RNA targets and, ultimately, the function of cells in which they are expressed. Such a 'post-transcriptional operon' model, as proposed by Keene and Tenenbaum [(2002) Mol. Cell 9, 1161-1167], can explain the differential, integrated action of multiple RNA-binding proteins on mRNA targets.
