Small-Diameter Porous Poly (ɛ-Caprolactone) Films Enhance Adhesion and Growth of Human Cultured Epidermal Keratinocyte and Dermal Fibroblast Cells (2007)

Autologous keratinocyte grafts provide clinical benefit by rapidly covering wounded areas, but they are fragile. We therefore developed biocompatible hexagonal-packed porous films with uniform, circular pore sizes to support human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. Cells were cultured on these porous poly (epsilon-calprolactone) films with pore sizes ranging from novel ultra-small 3 microm to 20 microm. These were compared with flat (pore-less) films. Cell growth rates, adhesion, migration, and ultrastructural morphology were examined. Human keratinocytes and fibroblasts attached to all films. Furthermore, small-pore (3-5 microm) films showed the highest levels of cell adhesion and survival and prevented migration into the pores and opposing film surface. Keratinocyte migration over small-pore film surface was inhibited. Keratinocytes optimally attached to 3-microm-pore films due to a combination of greater pore numbers (porosity), a greater circumference of the pore edge per unit surface area, and greater frequency of flat surface areas for attachment, allowing better cell-substrate and cell-cell attachment and growth. The 3-microm pore size allowed cell-cell communication, together with diffusion of soluble nutrients and factors from the culture medium or wound substrate. These characteristics are considered important in developing grafts for use in the treatment of human skin wounds.
Deposition of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, Polychlorinated Biphenyls, and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons to a Boreal Deciduous Forest (2006)

The atmospheric deposition of several groups of semi-volatile organic compounds to a deciduous forest in Canada was determined using an indirect technique based on ratios of measured canopy interception and air concentrations. Air (gas and particle phase) and bulk deposition were sampled for 14 months from October 2001 to December 2002 at both a forest and a nearby clearing, and extracts were quantified for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Long-term average dry deposition velocities for vapors and particle-bound species were then derived for the canopy growing period. The mean dry gaseous deposition velocity for PBDEs and PCBs to the Canadian deciduous forest was 2.7 +/- 0.52 cm x s(-1), which is similar to the only other measured value for a deciduous canopy. Particle-bound deposition velocities to the canopy due to diffusion and impaction were 0.8 cm x s(-1) for the PBDEs and 0.11 cm x s(-1) for the PAHs. Differences in the particle-bound deposition velocities between PBDEs and PAHs and between deciduous canopies in Canada and Germany are explainable by differences in particle size distribution. The interception/concentration ratios for several PAHs were too low to be interpretable as dry gaseous deposition velocities. This is likely because the measured deposition flux under the canopy was less than the deposition flux to the canopy, possibly as a result of photodegradation in the canopy. From the ratio of canopy interception and average gas-phase concentration of less chlorinated PCBs, a predictive relationship between the canopy/air partition coefficient KPA and the octanol/air partition coefficient KOA was derived (KPA = 110 KOA0.67). Despite differences in local climate and canopy composition and structure, the deposition velocities and the canopy uptake capacity measured in Canada were remarkably similar to those reported in Germany, lending credibility to the suggestion that high gaseous deposition velocities are common throughout boreal and temperate deciduous forests. These extraordinarily high deposition velocities of semi-volatile organic compounds to deciduous forest canopies are at the core of the hypothesis of a significant filter effect of forests on a regional and global scale.
High bonding strength and boiling water resistance of soy protein‐based adhesives via organosilicon–acrylate microemulsion and epoxy synergistic interfacial enhancement (2017)

ABSTRACT Boiling water resistance, an important indicator of wood adhesives, represents the capability of adhesives for exterior woodwork applications. However, soy‐based adhesives show poor behaviors in this respect, which limit their applications in outdoor environments. In this article, we report a synergistic modification method of integrating a cocrosslinking system of epoxied polyamideamine‐epichlorohydrin (PAE) and organosilicon–acrylate copolymer latexes (OACLs) to improve soybean meal (SM)‐based adhesive properties. Tailored PAE and OACL SM‐based adhesives demonstrated robust crosslinking structures via multi‐interfacial interactions, where PAE and OACL served as building blocks of an interpenetrating network, which was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The dry‐shear strength, wet‐shear strength, and boiling water strength of the resulting SM‐based adhesives were 1.41 ± 0.13, 1.32 ± 0.17, and 1.20 ± 0.11 MPa, respectively, with 15 wt % OACL loading; these were 41, 45, and 90% increases, respectively, over the SM–PAE adhesive with which we compared them. Most importantly, the excellent boiling water resistance of the adhesives make them practical for exterior plywood. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135 , 46061.
Mutagenic specificity in reovirus (1979)

Mutagenic specificity in response to chemical mutagens has been observed with certain temperature-sensitive mutants of reovirus type 3. One mutant induced by nitrous acid reverted specifically with nitrous acid. Three nitrosoguanidine-induced mutants reverted after nitrous acid treatment. These findings thus suggest that analysis of chemical induction of reversion from the temperature-sensitive phenotype may be a useful approach for studying the nature of mutation in animal viruses.
Modular software for VME/VXI subsystems (2003)

As part of a standardization effort, a software architecture was designed to control high-speed devices within an ATE (automatic test equipment) system. Devices that require real-time responses were located in a subsystem controlled by a dedicated processor. A host computer communicates with the subsystem using a communications bus (referred to as the host bus). The hardware chosen to implement this design consisted of a VMEbus card rack (later a VXIbus card rack) containing a minimum of one single-board computer and an interface to the host bus. Software was implemented using a commercial real-time operating system kernel. The modular architecture enables users to configure the subsystem hardware and software components to satisfy requirements for their specific applications.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Comparison of two rapid influenza A/B test kits with reference methods showing high specificity and sensitivity for influenza A infection (2006)

The rapid detection of influenza viruses is important for forming preventative strategies, directing initiation of anti-viral therapy, detecting potential avian influenza viruses, and excluding influenza-like pathogens, such as SARS. The ImmunoCard STAT! Flu A and B Plus test (Meridian Bioscience, Cincinnati, OH) is a new point of care (POC) test utilizing influenza-specific monoclonal antibodies for rapid diagnosis. The performance of this assay was compared to the established POC Binax NowFlu A and NowFlu B test, and the reference diagnostic standards of viral culture, indirect immunofluorescence (IFA), and RT-PCR where appropriate. Testing of nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from children, throat swabs, and nasal swabs from adults indicated ImmunoCard STAT! specificity of 98% and 100% for influenza A and B, respectively in 224 specimens. The Binax test showed specificity of 99% and 100%, respectively for influenza A and B. Sensitivity results were identical for both rapid detection kits (80% and 47% for Flu A and B, respectively). Overall results were very similar for both testing devices with the advantage of ImmunoCard STAT! Flu A and B Plus test detecting influenza A and B with sharp and easy to read results.
Using coarse/fine manipulation with vision to place fine pitch SMD components (2003)

An experimental system that can accurately align and place SMDs (surface mount devices) on a printed circuit board is described. Features of the system are fine positioning and endpoint sensing after an IBM 7576 robot coarsely aligns the SMD to its target. Fine positioning is done using a customer-designed micropositioning device. The endpoint sensor is a single camera vision system that by image analysis determines the alignment error of the SMD to the board. System performance was evaluated by placing SMDs of 100 leads with 25 mil lead spacing on a board. The alignment error is less than 0.5 mil and 0.015 degrees , independent of feeder and board position error or robot repeatability. The average cycle time is less than 10 s.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Disturbance of functional occlusion syndrome. (1984)

This article explains the relationship between headaches, temporomandibular joint pain dysfunction and the initiating factor, derangement of dental occlusion. A basic understanding of the disease process is outlined along with simple diagnostic aids and a method of treatment. The term 'disturbance of functional occlusion syndrome' (DOFOS), used here for the first time, correlates all those elements of a condition which previously has been considered in parts as separate disease entities.
Application of a non-indexed dual sprayer pneumatically assisted electrospray source to the high throughput quantitation of target compounds in biological fluids (2000)

The need for increased throughput in the quantitation of target compounds in biological fluids by high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry continues to drive research in this area. This report describes the application of a prototype dual sprayer electrospray source for the quantitative analysis of biological samples. Quantitative performance for 180 compounds in a microsomal stability assay was found to be adequate when compared with a conventional single sprayer measurement. Issues with use of dual sprayers in a routine production environment are discussed.

Synergistic Improvement of Long‐Term Plasticity in Photonic Synapses Using Ferroelectric Polarization in Hafnia‐Based Oxide‐Semiconductor Transistors (2020)

A number of synapse devices have been intensively studied for the neuromorphic system which is the next-generation energy-efficient computing method. Among these various types of synapse devices, photonic synapse devices recently attracted significant attention. In particular, the photonic synapse devices using persistent photoconductivity (PPC) phenomena in oxide semiconductors are receiving much attention due to the similarity between relaxation characteristics of PPC phenomena and Ca<sup>2+</sup> dynamics of biological synapses. However, these devices have limitations in its controllability of the relaxation characteristics of PPC behaviors. To utilize the oxide semiconductor as photonic synapse devices, relaxation behavior needs to be accurately controlled. In this study, a photonic synapse device with controlled relaxation characteristics by using an oxide semiconductor and a ferroelectric layer is demonstrated. This device exploits the PPC characteristics to demonstrate synaptic functions including short-term plasticity, paired-pulse facilitation (PPF), and long-term plasticity (LTP). The relaxation properties are controlled by the polarization of the ferroelectric layer, and this polarization is used to control the amount by which the conductance levels increase during PPF operation and to enhance LTP characteristics. This study provides an important step toward the development of photonic synapses with tunable synaptic functions.
Monitoring and screening plant populations with combined thermal and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging (2006)

Thermal and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging are powerful tools for the study of spatial and temporal heterogeneity of leaf transpiration and photosynthetic performance. The relative advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed. When combined, they can highlight pre-symptomatic responses not yet apparent in visual spectrum images and provide specific signatures for diagnosis of distinct diseases and abiotic stresses. In addition, their use for diagnosis and for selection for stomatal or photosynthetic mutants, these techniques can be applied for stress tolerance screening. For example, rapid screening for stomatal responses can be achieved by thermal imaging, while, combined with fluorescence imaging to study photosynthesis, they can potentially be used to derive leaf water use efficiency as a screening parameter. A particular advantage of imaging is that it allows continuous automated monitoring of dynamic spatial variation. Examples of applications include the study of growth and development of plant lines differing in stress resistance, yield, circadian clock-controlled responses, and the possible interactions between these parameters. In the future, such dual-imaging systems could be extended with complementary techniques such as hyperspectral and blue-green fluorescence imaging. This would result in an increased number of quantified parameters which will increase the power of stress diagnosis and the potential for screening of stress-tolerant genotypes.
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in patients treated with brain‐responsive neurostimulation (2018)

The SUDEP rate of 2.0/1000 patient stimulation years among patients treated with the RNS System is favorable relative to treatment-resistant epilepsy patients randomized to the placebo arm of add-on drug studies or with seizures after resective surgery. Our findings support that treatments that reduce seizures reduce SUDEP risk and that not all SUDEPs follow seizures.
Design of All-Dielectric Half-wave and Quarter-wave Plates Microwave Metasurfaces Based on Elliptic Dielectric Resonators (2017)

In this paper, we propose a numerical study for the design of Quarter-Wave Plate (QWP) and Half- Wave Plate (HWP) all-dielectric metasurfaces of relative permittivity 10.2, loss tangent 0.003 and thickness 5.12 mm. The devices based on Elliptic Dielectric Resonators (EDRs) may operate in the microwave band 20-30 GHz. First, we have studied the variation of the metasurface transmission, under x- and y-polarizations of the incident electric fields, when we vary the resonator ellipticity ? in the range 1:1.94. Next, we have optimized the resonator orientation (the rotation angle ? is situated in the range 0:45°) to improve further the moduli of transmission coefficients. Finally, from these previous parametric studies, we have designed QWP and HWP metasurfaces with the selected ellipticities ?1=1.4 and ?2=1.6. For example, we have obtained for ellipticity ?1 that the metasurface may acts as HWP device at frequencies 26.08 GHz and 28.03 GHz with bandwidths 175 MHz and 75 MHz, respectively and as QWP device at 29.02 GHz with a bandwidth of 150 MHz. In addition, the transmission bandwidths of HWP metasurface was increased from 75 to 225 MHz when we vary the rotation angle of the EDR from ?=0° to 10°.
Handling e-complaints in customer complaint management system using FMEA as a qualitative system (2010)

Negative customer perception often manifest as formal companies; while unknown percentages do not become so visible. Within a customer complaint management system, it is possible through careful analysis to identify the flaws in the service standards, in the complaint handling procedure itself, and the finer points which help to formulate resolution methods. When major key problems persist, complaints may spread across a range of company activity, from operational employee performance to managerial handling of both policy and practice. A poorly managed and/or designed complaint system will inevitably impact on the company's profit and loss status, through excessive expenditures, damage to market reputation and declining income. As the ultimate goal of a company is to content customers, acquire an efficient profit margin, and have a long-lasting relationship with customers and improving market shares. They should handle the complaints within complaint management system and this system alone must be under the monitoring of customer relationship management system. The aim of this study is to identify these irregularities and to propose a strategy to minimize them. For improving reliability of the company we benefited from failure mode and effect analysis technique (FMEA) which lets preventive analysis of failures that may compromise credibility of the company. As a methodology model set of 30 questionnaires have been assigned for this reason and a case study of an airline has been chosen. Ultimately, using, 5-point likert scale and SPSS software, we were managed to administer the data and conclude the results.

A 2800-μm2 thermal-diffusivity temperature sensor with VCO-based readout in 160-nm CMOS (2015)

A highly digital temperature sensor based on the temperature-dependent thermal diffusivity of bulk silicon has been realized in a standard 160-nm CMOS process. The sensor achieves an inaccuracy of ±2.9°C (3a) from -35°C to 125°C with no trimming and ±1.2°C (3a) after a single-point trim, while achieving a resolution of 0.47°C (rms) at 1 kSa/s. Its compact area (2800 μm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) is enabled by the adoption of a VCO-based phase-domain ADC. Since 53% of the sensor area is occupied by digital circuitry, the sensor can be easily ported to more advanced CMOS technologies with further area reduction, which makes it well suited for thermal monitoring in microprocessors and other systems-on-chip.

Inhibition of heat-labile cholera and Escherichia coli enterotoxins by brefeldin A (1993)

Cholera enterotoxin and the related heat-labile enterotoxins of Escherichia coli enter their target cells through noncoated vesicles, but how the toxins are processed intracellularly and how they get to their targeted enzyme, adenylate cyclase, remain to be defined. Brefeldin A, an inhibitor of the trans-Golgi network, is shown herein to transiently block the morphologic and enzymatic effects of the toxin at a step distal to the initial binding process but prior to activation of adenylate cyclase by the toxin. It is likely, therefore, that these toxins are processed by the Golgi apparatus before trafficking to the membrane adenylate cyclase.
α-TEA-induced death receptor dependent apoptosis involves activation of acid sphingomyelinase and elevated ceramide-enriched cell surface membranes (2010)

Taken together, these studies demonstrate that ASMase activation and membrane ceramide accumulation are early events contributing to α-TEA-induced apoptosis in vitro and perhaps in vivo.
The iap genes: unique arbitrators of cell death (1997)

The iap family of anti-apoptotic genes, originally discovered in viruses, has grown considerably in the past two years with the addition of a number of evolutionary conserved cellular homologues. Although the mechanism(s) by which these novel proteins block cell death is still unknown, intriguing clues to their function have been revealed by the discovery of interactions between some of the IAP homologues and cellular proteins involved in carrying out apoptotic signalling. Here, Rollie Clem and Colin Duckett discuss how the various IAP proteins may function in regulating apoptosis.
