Modification of the Marston Deception Test (1921)

In his latest article in this JOURNAL, Marston describes a test whereby deception or the emotional syndrome involved in lying may be detected in an individual. In brief, he studies the changes in the systolic blood pressure which are produced by emotional disturbance (4). According to his description he has obtained 100 per cent accuracy in cases upon which the tests were tried, both in court cases and upon a number of individuals in an army test. Before mentioning his own technique, Marston sums up, or rather criticizes, the hitherto prevalent methods for the determination of the presence of emotional disturbances. For our own purpose it may be well to mention them briefly.
Effects of low voltage electrical stimulation during bleeding and hot boning on beef loin eye and top round muscles (1984)

Our study evaluated the effects of low voltage electrical stimulation (ES) during bleeding and hot boning at 1 hr postmortem on loin eye (LE) and top round (TR) muscles. Possibly because of relatively slow initial chilling rate used in our study, hot-boned (HB) muscles, even without ES, were comparable to conventionally chilled and boned counterparts. In fact, coupling ES with HB proved less desirable than HB only.
Selective hydrogenolysis of glycerol to propanediols on supported Cu-containing bimetallic catalysts (2010)

Supported Cu-containing bimetallic catalysts were prepared and used to convert glycerol to propanediols. The effects of supports, metals, metal loadings, and impregnation sequences were examined. A synergistic effect was observed between Cu and Ag when they were impregnated on γ-Al2O3. Characterizations revealed that the addition of Ag not only resulted in an in situ reduction of CuO, but also improved the dispersion of the Cu species on the support. A CuAg/Al2O3 catalyst with optimal amounts of Cu and Ag (Cu/Ag molar ratio 7 : 3, 2.7 mmol Cu+Ag per gram of γ-Al2O3) showed a near 100% selectivity to propanediols with a glycerol conversion of about 27% under mild reaction conditions (200 °C, 1.5 MPa initial H2 pressure, 10 h, (Cu+Ag)/glycerol molar ratio of 3/100). Compared with a commercial copper chromite catalyst commonly used for this reaction, the CuAg/Al2O3 catalyst had much higher activity and did not need a reduction pretreatment.
A proposed paradigm for tracing the effect of security threats in various mobile agent systems (2015)

Many people consider that security is one of the complexes problems for practical use of mobile agents that move around the networks and do their tasks. This complexity is due mainly to the size of the problem, moreover, in open networks, security problems and costs of potential solutions might outweigh the benefits of mobility. The question of security goes both directions. How can data base servers be protected from malicious actions of mobile agents, and conversely, how can mobile agent, packed with private data and information, be protected from servers, and other agents while traveling through cyberspace. This paper presents a survey for the malicious (host /agent) facing Mobile Agent(MA). Platform to Agent P2A (Masquerading, Denial of Service, Eavesdropping, Alteration) Agent to Agent A2A (Masquerading, Denial of Service, Repudiation, Unauthorized Access). This paper, describes MA-based paradigm as a simulation based model for tracing the effect of one of the security threats that has been entirely developed in java programming language. The proposed paradigm considers a range of techniques that provide high degree of security during the mobile agent system life cycle in its simulation environment. This paper highlights the spot to two main design objectives: The importance of including various supportive types of agents within a system e.g., police agents, service agents,...etc. Second: Evaluation analysis and number of checks to be done to trace the MA if masqueraded during its path. eg. evaluation analysis for detecting tolerance differences for the calculated agent's route before and during its journey, storing agent transactions, storing snapshots of agent state information, checking from time to time agent status and task completeness and lastly guard agent check the changed variables of migrated agent. During tracing and monitoring MA(s), the initiator node may destroy it and continue with another. In this paper we propose a new paradigm that detects and eliminate with high probability, any degree of tampering within a reasonable amount of time, also provide the ability of scalability of security administration.
The effect of topically applied recombinant human growth hormone on wound healing in pigs. (2009)

﻿The beneficial wound healing effect of the systemic growth hormone (GH) mediated by insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been widely reported. Recent studies have suggested that GH facilitates wound healing not by circulating IGF-1, but by local IGF-1 produced in the wound itself. The aim of this study was to define whether the locally administered GH could accelerate the wound-healing rate. Full-thickness skin defects (diameter 4 cm) were made in the back of micropigs, and GH (2.5 IU/L) was applied every other day for 3 weeks (11 times total). Control wounds were given the vehicle only. The wound sizes were measured weekly by planimetry and biopsies were taken. The wound sizes were significantly reduced in the GH-treated groups as compared with the control group (P < 0.05) each week. Histological and immunohistochemical examination revealed that the production of IGF-1 and collagen 1 in the experimental group increased more than in the control group. The present results suggest that local treatment with GH effectively accelerates wound healing.
Vital sign monitoring utilizing Eulerian video magnification and thermography (2016)

In this paper we present a proof of concept for non-contact extraction of vital signs using RGB and thermal images obtained from a smart phone. Using our method, heart rate, respiratory rate and forehead temperature can be measured concurrently. Face detection and tracking is leveraged in order to allow natural motion of patients. Heart rate is estimated via processing of visible band RGB video using Eulerian Video Magnification technique. Respiratory rate and the temperature is measured using thermal video. Experiments conducted with 11 healthy subjects indicate that heart rate and respiration rate can be measured with 92 and 94 percent accuracy, respectively.

A Model Relating Structure of Colloidal Gels to Their Elastic Properties (2001)

A scaling model relating the microscopic structure parameters of colloidal gels to their macroscopic elastic properties is proposed. This model allows one to estimate the fractal dimension in any gelation regime, purely based on rheological properties (storage modulus and limit of linearity), without resorting to other types of measurements. In particular, an appropriate effective microscopic elastic constant is introduced to account for the mutual elastic contributions of both inter- and intrafloc links. This leads to a new parameter, α ∈ [0,1], which indicates the relative importance of these two contributions. This parameter can be estimated from the rheological data, and its value determines the prevailing gel regime. The model is applied to 12 gelation systems reported in the literature and identifies three gelation regimes: strong-link (α = 0), weak-link (α = 1), and transition (0 < α < 1). For the first two regimes, the new model correctly reproduces the results from the model developed by Shih et al.1 However, for the transition regime, corresponding to α ∈ (0.4,0.7), the new model is the only one providing a physically sound interpretation of the experimental results.
Characteristics of Sindbis virus temperature-sensitive mutants in cultured BHK-21 and Aedes albopictus (Mosquito) cells (1976)

A number of the temperature-sensitive mutants of Sindbis virus originally isolated and characterized by Burge and Pfefferkorn (1966, 1968) were reexamined for their abilities to grow and complement one another in cultured BHK-21 and Aedes albopictus (mosquito) cells. The response of the mutants to conditions of high and low temperature was similar in cultured cells of both the vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Complementation experiments in BHK-21 cells produced growth patterns similar to those described by Burge and Pfefferkorn for chicken embryo fibroblast cells (1966) and placed the mutants into six nonoverlapping complementation groups. When examined in the cultured mosquito cells, only three of the nine mutants used in this study demonstrated complementation under a variety of experimental conditions. Homologous interference experiments demonstrated that the unusual patterns of complementation obtained in the A. albopictus cells did not result from an inefficient infection of the invertebrate cells by the mutants.
Monitoring the tire pressure at cars using passive SAW sensors (2002)

In our paper we present the application of surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors to the continuous monitoring of the tire pressure in road vehicles. With these, the tire pressure can be read out in every phase of driving. We show the implemented prototype setup for measurement of the tire pressure, the applied SAW sensors, improved versions and the interrogation setup. The problems in practical application are discussed. Experimental results measuring the tire pressure during test rides are presented.

Deflection, Frequency, and Stress Characteristics of Rectangular, Triangular, and Step Profile Microcantilevers for Biosensors (2009)

This study presents the deflection, resonant frequency and stress results of rectangular, triangular, and step profile microcantilevers subject to surface stress. These cantilevers can be used as the sensing element in microcantilever biosensors. To increase the overall sensitivity of microcantilever biosensors, both the deflection and the resonant frequency of the cantilever should be increased. The effect of the cantilever profile change and the cantilever cross-section shape change is first investigated separately and then together. A finite element code ANSYS Multiphysics is used and solid finite elements cantilever models are solved. A surface stress of 0.05 N/m was applied to the top surface of the cantilevers. The cantilevers are made of silicon with elastic modulus 130 GPa and Poisson’s ratio 0.28. To show the conformity of this study, the numerical results are compared against their analytical ones. Results show that triangular and step cantilevers have better deflection and frequency characteristics than rectangular ones.

Vancomycin-Modified Nanoparticles for Efficient Targeting and Preconcentration of Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria (2008)

A series of vancomycin-modified nanoparticles were developed and employed in magnetic confinement assays to isolate a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria from aqueous solution. We determined that the orientation/architecture of vancomycin on the surface of the nanoparticles and the overall surface coverage is critical in mediating fast and effective interactions between the nanoparticle and the pathogen cell wall surface and only one orientation/architecture in a series of modified nanoparticles leads to the efficient and reproducible capture of several important pathogenic bacteria. Interestingly, as the nanoparticles increase in diameter (from approximately 50 to 2800 nm), it is necessary to incorporate a long linker between the nanoparticle surface and the vancomycin moiety in order for the surface bound probe to efficiently confine Gram-positive bacteria. Finally, we also determined that the time required for efficient labeling and subsequent magnetic confinement significantly decreases as the size of the nanoparticle and the vancomycin surface coverage on the nanoparticle increases. As disease detection technologies transition to "lab-on-a-chip" based platforms it is necessary to develop strategies to effectively and inexpensively preconcentrate cells from large volume to volumes more amenable to these types of microfluidic devices. These small molecule-modified superparamagnetic nanoparticles can provide a means by which this can be accomplished.

Direct conversion of human fibroblasts to dopaminergic neurons (2011)

Recent reports demonstrate that somatic mouse cells can be directly converted to other mature cell types by using combined expression of defined factors. Here we show that the same strategy can be applied to human embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts. By overexpression of the transcription factors Ascl1, Brn2, and Myt1l, human fibroblasts were efficiently converted to functional neurons. We also demonstrate that the converted neurons can be directed toward distinct functional neurotransmitter phenotypes when the appropriate transcriptional cues are provided together with the three conversion factors. By combining expression of the three conversion factors with expression of two genes involved in dopamine neuron generation, Lmx1a and FoxA2, we could direct the phenotype of the converted cells toward dopaminergic neurons. Such subtype-specific induced neurons derived from human somatic cells could be valuable for disease modeling and cell replacement therapy.
Radar Soundings of the Subsurface of Mars (2005)

The martian subsurface has been probed to kilometer depths by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding instrument aboard the Mars Express orbiter. Signals penetrate the polar layered deposits, probably imaging the base of the deposits. Data from the northern lowlands of Chryse Planitia have revealed a shallowly buried quasi-circular structure about 250 kilometers in diameter that is interpreted to be an impact basin. In addition, a planar reflector associated with the basin structure may indicate the presence of a low-loss deposit that is more than 1 kilometer thick.
Nanoscale Roughness on Metal Surfaces Can Increase Tip-Enhanced Raman Scattering by an Order of Magnitude (2007)

We studied the influence of nanosteps on signal intensity in gap-mode tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). A benzenethiol monolayer adsorbed on an Au substrate was investigated. The correlation between the TERS signal and the local topography on the substrate shows that a 2 nm high sharp step on the Au surface can significantly increase the enhancement. Furthermore, theoretical models were built, and the numerical simulation results were consistent with our experimental results. The findings provide evidence that nanoscale roughness can play a crucial role in the "hot sites" corresponding to single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
Synthesis, structure, and ionic conductivity of solid solution, Li<sub>10+δ</sub>M<sub>1+δ</sub>P<sub>2−δ</sub>S<sub>12</sub> (M = Si, Sn) (2014)

Solid solutions of the silicon and tin analogous phases of the superionic conductor Li(10)MP(2)S(12) (M = Si, Sn) were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction in an evacuated silica tube at 823 K. The ranges of the solid solutions were determined to be 0.20 < δ < 0.43 and -0.25 < δ < -0.01 in Li(10+δ)M(1+δ)P(2-δ)S(12) (0.525 ≤k≤ 0.60 and 0.67 ≤k≤ 0.75 in Li(4-k)M(1-k)PkS(4)) for the Si and Sn systems, respectively. The ionic conductivity of these systems varied as a function of the changing M ions: the Si and Sn systems showed lower conductivity than the Ge system, Li(10+δ)Ge(1+δ)P(2-δ)S(12). The conductivity change for different elements might be due to the lattice size and lithium content affecting the ionic conduction. The relationship between ionic conduction, structure, and lithium concentration is discussed based on the structural and electrochemical information for the silicon, germanium, and tin systems.
Introduction (2014)

The scale of biodiversity destruction around the world is widely acknowledged. Nature is “in the balance”. If the current trends are extrapolated, then the scale of the current extinction will be as great, or greater, than the five mass extinctions that have occurred on Earth over the past 540 million years. But this time, the mass extinction will not have been caused by a meteorite or some exogenous factor, but rather by humans. And because we are the cause, it is not inevitable. The challenge is to come up with credible agreements and environmental policies to first reverse and then restore.

<title>Radiometric calibration procedures for a wideband infrared scene projector (WISP)</title> (1999)

The Wideband Infrared Scene Projector (WISP) has been undergoing development for the Kinetic-Kill Vehicle Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator facility at Eglin AFB, Florida. In order to perform realistic tests of an infrared seeker, the radiometric output of the WISP system must produce the same response in the seeker as the real scene. In order to ensure this radiometric realism, calibration procedures must be established and followed. This paper describes calibration procedures that have been used in recent tests. The procedures require knowledge of the camera spectral response in the seeker under test. The camera is set up to operate over the desired range of observable radiances. The camera is then nonuniformity corrected (NUCed) and calibrated with an extended blackbody. The camera drift rates are characterized, and as necessary, the camera is reNUCed and recalibrated. The camera is then set up to observe the WISP system, and calibration measurements are made of the camera/WISP system.
Development of projection X-ray microscope with 100 nm spot size (2022)

A projection X-ray microscope useful for industrial non-destructive inspections and various biological observations has been developed. By installing a Schottky type electron source, a nano focus X-ray source with 100 nm focal spot size that is easy to handle in various laboratories is successfully achieved at 20 to 80 kVp. An imaging system has been composed of a vertical type that can adjust a sample position on the optical axis, and high-resolution imaging can be achieved by using a high precision stage unit. A test chart with 200 nm line width can be clearly confirmed by a transmission image, and CT images with high spatial resolution were also obtained for a test sample of glass containing air micro-bubbles. Finally, we confirmed that the spatial resolution of the system estimated from the obtained CT images does not contradict the result of the evaluation formula of spatial resolution including the effect of X-rays diffraction.
Steatosis inhibits liver cell store-operated Ca2+ entry and reduces ER Ca2+ through a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism (2014)

Lipid accumulation in hepatocytes can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Hormone-initiated release of Ca²⁺ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stores and subsequent replenishment of these stores by Ca²⁺ entry through SOCs (store-operated Ca²⁺ channels; SOCE) plays a critical role in the regulation of liver metabolism. ER Ca²⁺ homoeostasis is known to be altered in steatotic hepatocytes. Whether store-operated Ca²⁺ entry is altered in steatotic hepatocytes and the mechanisms involved were investigated. Lipid accumulation in vitro was induced in cultured liver cells by amiodarone or palmitate and in vivo in hepatocytes isolated from obese Zucker rats. Rates of Ca²⁺ entry and release were substantially reduced in lipid-loaded cells. Inhibition of Ca²⁺ entry was associated with reduced hormone-initiated intracellular Ca²⁺ signalling and enhanced lipid accumulation. Impaired Ca²⁺ entry was not associated with altered expression of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) or Orai1. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) reversed the impairment of Ca²⁺ entry in lipid-loaded cells. It is concluded that steatosis leads to a substantial inhibition of SOCE through a PKC-dependent mechanism. This enhances lipid accumulation by positive feedback and may contribute to the development of NASH and insulin resistance.
