DNA Origami Route for Nanophotonics
Venue: ACS photonics
Year: 2018

The specificity and simplicity of the Watson Crick base pair interactions make DNA one of the most versatile construction materials for creating nanoscale structures and devices. Among several DNA based approaches, the DNA origami technique excels in programmable self assembly of complex, arbitrary shaped structures with dimensions of hundreds of nanometers. Importantly, DNA origami can be used as templates for assembly of functional nanoscale components into three dimensional structures with high precision and controlled stoichiometry. This is often beyond the reach of other nanofabrication techniques. In this Perspective, we highlight the capability of the DNA origami technique for realization of novel nanophotonic systems. First, we introduce the basic principles of designing and fabrication of DNA origami structures. Subsequently, we review recent advances of the DNA origami applications in nanoplasmonics, single molecule and super resolution fluorescent imaging, as well as hybrid photonic systems. We conclude by outlining the future prospects of the DNA origami technique for advanced nanophotonic systems with tailored functionalities.
Occupational Therapy Practitioners' Perspectives on Occupation Based Interventions for Clients With Hip Fracture
Venue: The American journal of occupational therapy official publication of the American Occupational Therapy Association
Year: 2018

Occupational engagement is the foundation of occupational therapy. We identified perspectives of 18 occupational therapy practitioners on integrating occupation based interventions during postacute care (PAC) rehabilitation for persons with hip fracture to identify occupational therapy's distinct contribution.  We conducted six focus groups derived from a purposive national sample of occupational therapy practitioners (N 18) A secondary analysis was conducted to analyze the transcripts for major subthemes around occupation based interventions.  Three major themes arose from practitioners' perspectives regarding the role of occupation in rehabilitation: (1) conducting an occupational profile, (2) integrating occupation based intervention in the facility, and (3) identifying goals for occupational engagement after discharge. Challenges and strategies for integrating occupation based interventions were also identified.  Identifying practitioners' perspectives on integrating occupation into rehabilitation may inform strategies to facilitate occupation based interventions in PAC and define occupational therapy's role in this setting. &NA; Identifying practitioners' perspectives on integrating occupation into rehabilitation may inform strategies to facilitate occupation based interventions in postacute care.
Public Service Motivation and Employee Outcomes in the Egyptian Public Sector: Testing the Mediating Effect of Person Organization Fit
Year: 2015

This article examines a process, namely person organization (P O) fit, through which public service motivation (PSM) affects work related stress, quit intentions, and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) Using a sample of 671 professionals in the Egyptian higher education and health sectors, a mediation model is outlined and tested empirically using structural equation modeling. Our results show that PSM positively affected P O fit, which in turn had significant positive associations with OCBs and negative associations with work related stress and quit intentions. Although P O fit explained a high proportion of mediation in the relationship between PSM, stress, and quit intentions, it only explained a low proportion in the relationship between PSM and OCBs. In general, our findings suggest that if public managers are desirous of improving employee experience at work, then achieving congruence between employees' and organizational values is important.

Activation of NK cells and disruption of PD L1/PD 1 axis: two different ways for lenalidomide to block myeloma progression
Venue: Oncotarget
Year: 2017

Natural Killer (NK) cells play a critical role against tumor cells in hematological malignancies. Their activating receptors are essential in tumor cell killing. In Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients, NK cell differentiation, activation and cytotoxic potential are strongly impaired leading to MM escape from immune surveillance in tissues and bone marrow. Mechanisms used by MM to affect NK cell functions are mediated by the release of soluble factors, the expression of activating and inhibitory NK cell ligands, and the expression of immune check point inhibitors. Lenalidomide represents an efficient clinical approach in MM treatment to improve patients' survival. Lenalidomide does not only promotes tumor apoptosis, but also stimulates T and NK cells, thereby facilitating NK mediated tumor recognition and killing. This occurs since Lenalidomide acts on several critical points: stimulates T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion; decreases the expression of the immune check point inhibitor Programmed Death 1 (PD 1) on both T and NK cells in MM patients; decreases the expression of both PD 1 and PD L1 on MM cells; promotes MM cell death and abrogates MM/stromal microenvironment cross talk, a process known to promote the MM cell survival and proliferation. This leads to the inhibition of the negative signal induced by PD 1/PD L1 axis on NK cells, restoring NK cell cytotoxic functions. Given the importance of an effective immune response to counteract the MM progression and the promising approaches using anti PD 1/PD L1 strategies, we will discuss in this review how Lenalidomide could represent an adequate approach to re establish the recognition against MM by exhausted NK cell.
Adventitious shoot regeneration from in vitro leaf explants of Fraxinus nigra
Venue: Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC)
Year: 2017

Black ash (Fraxinus nigra) is an endangered hardwood tree species under threat of extirpation by the emerald ash borer (EAB) an aggressive exotic phloem feeding beetle. We have developed an efficient regeneration system through adventitious shoot organogenesis in F. nigra using in vitro derived leaf explants. Two types of leaf explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of plant growth regulators to induce callus and adventitious shoot bud formation. Significant effects of explant, and plant growth regulator interactions were found. The frequency of callus formation ranged from 77.8 to 94.4% and 88.9 100% from single leaflets and intact compound leaves, respectively, with no significant difference between treatments. For adventitious shoot bud induction, however, 22.2 uM 6 benzylaminopurine (BA) combined with 31.8 uM thidiazuron (TDZ) was the best treatment regardless of the initial leaf explant type, showing 21.1 and 28.8% shoot bud induction, with 1.5 and 1.9 adventitious shoots per explant, from single leaflets and intact compound leaves, respectively. The regenerated shoot buds were elongated on MS medium supplemented with Gamborg B5 vitamins plus 2 mg L 1 glycine (MSB5G) 13.3 uM BA, 1 uM indole 3 butyric acid (IBA) and 0.29 uM gibberellic acid. The elongated shoots were continuously micropropagated through nodal stem sectioning until used for rooting. An average of 85.2% of the microshoots were successfully rooted in woody plant medium containing 5.7 uM indole 3 acetic acid plus 4.9 uM IBA with a 10 day initial dark culture, followed by culture under a 16 h photoperiod. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized to the greenhouse and showed normal plant growth and development with 100% survival. This regeneration protocol would be useful for mass propagation for conservation of F. nigra and for use in genetic transformation for EAB resistance.

The Nodulin 26 Intrinsic Protein Subfamily
Year: 2017

Nodulin intrinsic proteins (NIPs) represent a land plant specific subfamily of the major intrinsic protein/aquaporin superfamily. NIPs are named for the first member of the family discovered, soybean nodulin 26 of symbiotic nitrogen fixing root nodules. Evolutionarily, NIPs appear in early nonvascular and vascular land plant lineages, with the family undergoing substantial diversification and sub functionalization during subsequent evolution of seed plants. Structurally, most NIPs can be divided into three "pore" families based on the composition of amino acids comprising the predicted aromatic arginine selectivity region of the channel pore. Functionally, two of these families (NIP II and NIP III) serve as channels for metalloid nutrients (boric acid and silicic acid respectively) while the biological role of NIP I channels remains more open. Biochemical functions for NIP proteins are diverse, with transport selectivities ranging from metalloid hydroxides to glycerol, lactic acid, urea, and hydrogen peroxide. Some NIPs retain their aquaporin function, while others have lost this signature activity of the aquaporin family. In the present chapter, the evolutionary origins, structural and functional properties, and potential biological functions, particularly beyond their roles as metalloid facilitators, are reviewed.

Self Attentive Context dependent Speaker Embedding for Speaker Verification
Venue: 2020 National Conference on Communications (NCC)
Year: 2020

In the recent past, Deep neural networks became the most successful approach to extract the speaker embeddings. Among the existing methods, the x vector system, that extracts a fixed dimensional representation from varying length speech signal, became the most successful approach. Later the performance of the x vector system improved by explicitly modeling the phonological variations in it i.e, c vector. Although the c vector framework utilizes the phonological variations in the speaker embedding extraction process, it is giving equal attention to all the frames using the stats pooling layer. Motivated by the subjective analysis of the importance of nasals, vowels, and semivowels for speaker recognition, we extend the work of the c vector system by including a multi head self attention mechanism. In comparison with the earlier subjective analysis on the importance of different phonetic units for speaker recognition, we also analyzed the attentions learnt by the network using TIMIT data. To examine the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we evaluate the performance of the proposed system on the NIST SRE10 database and get a relative improvement of 18.19 with respect to the c vector system on the short duration case.
Global calibration method for non overlapping cameras based on mobilephone screens in defocus scene
Venue: International Conference on Optical Instruments and Technology
Year: 2020

The global calibration of multi camera vision systems with non overlapping views has been widely studied. However, traditional global calibration methods that using planar targets with invariant relative positions are easily limited by the high cost of manufacturing high precision large planar targets, and the difficulty of rigid connection between them. This paper proposes a low cost and convenient global calibration method for non overlapping multiple cameras using double mobile phone screens in defocus scene. During calibration, phase shifting circular grating (PCG) arrays are displayed on the high resolution mobile phone screens, and by phase shifting methods, the PCG centers as feature points can be extracted accurately even if the phone is located at the defocus part of camera. Then the global calibration can be carried out based on the invariance of the relative positions between the two mobile phones. Experiment results show that this method is effective and has high accuracy.
The Cycle of Verbal Violence Among Nurse Colleagues in South Korea.
Venue: Journal of interpersonal violence
Year: 2020

In Korea, suicide by nurses due to workplace verbal violence has become a serious social controversy. This study used a descriptive survey to identify factors influencing nurses' experiences with being either victims or perpetrators of verbal violence among colleagues. Participants were 205 nurses working at large scale general hospitals in D city in August 2019. Data were collected through standardized questionnaires on experiences of verbal violence, committing acts of verbal violence, demographic characteristics, and job stress. For experiences of verbal violence, statistically significant differences were observed in age, gender, and nightshift work. Committing acts of verbal violence showed statistically significant differences in age, gender, entire career experience, career experience in one's present division, and nightshift work. A significant correlation was found between experiences of verbal violence, committing acts of verbal violence, and job stress. Gender and nightshift work influenced experiences of verbal violence in Model 1, while gender, nightshift work, and relationship conflicts were extracted in Model 2. In Model 3, career experience and committing acts of verbal violence were found to be significant. For committing acts of verbal violence, gender, nightshift work, and career experience were extracted in Model 1; gender, nightshift work, and relationship conflict were extracted in Model 2; and nightshift work, career experience, and experiences of verbal violence were significant in Model 3. Regarding verbal violence among nurses, a vicious cycle caused by job stress exists, in which newly hired nurses are often victims of verbal violence; however, as they gain career experience, they become the perpetrators. Therefore, to reduce nurses' job stress, it is necessary to operate job stress control programs by career level, promote conversations among nurses to increase understanding of each other, and build a culture of mutual respect.
Integration of green supply chain management practices in construction supply chain of CPEC
Year: 2020

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects are widely spread throughout Pakistan with the potential to have a massive impact on Pakistan's economic future. CPEC projects have, therefore, made it imperative that green practices are adapted to provide sustainability to the CPEC projects. The adoption of green supply chain management (GSCM) framework will significantly increase the value attained from CPEC projects through the increased benefits to the socio cultural and economic conditions of Pakistan without causing harm to the environment. The purpose of this paper is to identify and rank the GSCM practices for implementation in the construction industry of Pakistan according to expert opinion.,This study targets the experts who are employed as supply chain managers in the different construction industries of Pakistan. The opinions of these experts have been extracted through an online questionnaire that was based on six alternatives along with four criteria. The tool of multi criteria decision making (MCDM) that is a Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) has been used to analyze the results.,Six alternatives that have been used for this study are green design, green procurement, green production, green warehousing, green transportation and green recycling. The top ranked alternative as a practice for GSCM is green warehousing followed by green production. The lowest ranked alternative in this study is green recycling. The alternatives have been ranked on the basis of "cc" values derived through TOPSIS.,As the advancement in the construction industry will definitely going to impact the environmental sustainability of the country, the results derived through this research will assist the managers of the construction industry of Pakistan to adopt best practices among green supply chain in order to lower their impact.,Framework using TOPSIS in order to find the best GSCM practice in Pakistan has not been reported before this study.
24 The physiological impact of coronary chronic total occlusion (cto) percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) on donor vessel coronary pressure derived measurements and the influence of collateral circulation
Year: 2017

There is strong evidence of FFR guided treatment in multi vessel disease. Multi vessel disease is present in up to 66% of patients with CTO in a large registry analysis. The presence of a concomitant CTO may influence the FFR measurement in donor vessel as suggested in previous studies and reports. This has an important implication on clinical decision making for complete revascularisation in patients with chronic total occlusions. There is a growing interest on the influence of collateral circulation, flow, amount of myocardium supplied by donor artery to a CTO and the impact of CTO revascularisation on donor vessel pressure derived indices. We sought to investigate the physiological impact of CTO recanalisation on donor vessel pressure derived indices.  The study participants were patients with angina who had RCA CTO. 34 out of 40 consecutive patients underwent successful PCI to RCA CTOs during the study period were included in the analysis. Coronary pressure derived indices (resting Pd/Pa, iFR and FFR) were measured pre and post successful RCA CTO PCI in donor vessels. Donor vessel characteristics were graded using the Rentrop and colloateral connexion grading classification.  The mean age was 61.76 years. The mean estimated CTO duration was 238.72 weeks and CTO length was 32.44 mm. 31 patients had ischaemia and or viability in the RCA territory assessed with cardiac MRI. LAD was the predominant donor vessel in 30 patients and LCX was the minor donor vessel in 4 patients. Percent stenosis on QCA in the predominant and minor donor vessel were 41.43% and 35.05% respectively. The angiographic details are as outlined in table 1. The mean resting Pd/Pa, iFR and FFR pre and post RCA CTO PCI in major donor vessel were (0.891, 0.858, 0.759) and (0.903, 0.882, 0.746) respectively. iFR in the major donor vessel increased from 0.858 to 0.882 (difference, 0.02412 (0.00573 to 0.04250) p=0.012) There were no significant difference in resting Pd/Pa and FFR pre and post CTO PCI (p=0.109 and p=0.388 respectively) The mean resting Pd/Pa, iFR and FFR pre and post RCA CTO PCI in minor donor vessel were (0.982, 0.969, 0.894) and (0.985, 0.979, 0.885) respectively. There were no significant difference in resting Pd/Pa, iFR and FFR pre and post CTO PCI in minor donor vessel (p=0.534, p=0.152, p=0.183 respectively) The mean collateral FFR was 0.310. The mean total ischaemic burden on baseline cardiac MRI in RCA territory was 12.6% Conclusion Successful recanalisation of a RCA CTO results in increase in iFR but no significant difference was seen in resting Pd/Pa and FFR pre RCA CTO PCI and immediately post recanalisation in predominant donor vessel. Complete collateral regression was not observed in all patients immediately post RCA CTO PCI and this may account for the non significant change in FFR values. Table 1 Angiographic Characteristics
Emotional agent in serious game (DINO)
Venue: AAMAS
Year: 2009

In this paper, we introduce an novel emotional agent system in 3D virtual world based on OCC (Ortony, Clore and Collins) theory, FCM (Fuzzy Cognitive Map) and GoalNet. The agent system is designed based on Goal Net model. Emotional modeling and decision making are based on OCC and FCM inference. Emotions modeled by the OCC model are incorporated into FCM inference. It has been shown emotion has a great impact in decision making. The proposed agent system has been applied to design human like dinosaur agents in the research project "Immersion and Embodied Learning: Traces of Dinosaurs in Earth System Science" supported by National Research Foundation (NRF) Singapore. In this project, we have developed an agent mediated immersive Interactive Digital Media that appropriately recreates and replays the traces of Earth's history using intelligent agent technology and 3D multi user environment. The virtual world and emotional dinosaur agents are shown in the demo. The experiments conducted by students in secondary schools in Singapore have shown the emotional agents enable deep learning of earth science.
