• 2D nano-leaf-like porous copper nitrate hydroxide (LPCNH) is facilely fabricated. Combination of LPCNH/TEMPO efficiently converts HMF to DFF with high selectivities. The reaction time for 60 min at 100 °C could achieve > C = 96% and S DDF 100%. At 140 °C, a significantly Y 99.5% surpasses almost all reported values. LPCNH be reusable catalyzing TEMPO convert DFF. 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-...

Yeast two- and three-hybrid systems were used to screen cDNA libraries from HeLa cells and human brain tissue to identify novel protein partners of DNA Fragmentation Factor, the major apoptotic nuclease. The two-hybrid system revealed the DFF45 inhibitory subunit of the nuclease as the only identified partner of the DFF40 catalytic subunit. Similar analysis revealed several protein candidates t...

of the Thesis Design and Analysis of Custom Clock Buffers and a D Flip-Flop for Low Swing Clock Distribution Networks by Mallika Rathore Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Stony Brook University 2014 With higher integration, power has become a primary concern for IC design. Clock signal has the highest switching activity and can be responsible for up to 40% of the overall power dissipa...

Versatile homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts that convert carbohydrates to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) are essential for the development of sustainable processes producing high-value chemicals from biomass-derived carbohydrates. An efficient catalytic system consisting Br−, disulfide, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) promoted selective synthesis DFF in modest-to-good yields various carbohydrates, such...

Depth from Focus (DFF) is one of the classical ill-posed inverse problems in computer vision. Most approaches recover the depth at each pixel based on the focal setting which exhibits maximal sharpness. Yet, it is not obvious how to reliably estimate the sharpness level, particularly in low-textured areas. In this paper, we propose ‘Deep Depth From Focus (DDFF)’ as the first end-to-end learning...

A new passive ranging technique named Robust Depth-from-Defocus (RDFD) is presented for autofocusing in digital cameras. It is adapted to work in the presence of image shift and scale change caused by camera/hand/object motion. RDFD is similar to spatial-domain Depth-from-Defocus (DFD) techniques in terms of computational efficiency, but it does not require pixel correspondence between two imag...

Engineering cells with active-ingredient-loaded micro/nanoparticles is becoming increasingly popular for imaging and therapeutic applications. A critical yet inadequately addressed issue during its implementation concerns the significant number of particles that remain unbound following the engineering process, which inadvertently generate signals and impart transformative effects onto neighbor...

Treatment initiation rates following fragility fractures have often been reported to be low and in recent years numerous programs have been implemented worldwide to increase them. This study aimed at describing osteoporosis (OP) treatment initiation in a representative sample of women who were hospitalized for a distal forearm fracture (DFF) or proximal humerus fracture (PHF) in 2009-2011 in Fr...

Oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) using air or pure oxygen was performed in polytetrafluoroethylene capillary microreactors under gas–liquid slug flow, with Co/Mn/Br as the homogeneous catalyst acetic acid solvent. The temperature varied from 90 to 165 °C at a pressure 1 5 bar. At atmospheric conditions (and °C), acetaldehyde further added co-oxidant accelerate reaction. 150 °C, bar an...

We have identified and purified from HeLa cytosol a protein that induces DNA fragmentation in coincubated nuclei after it is activated by caspase-3. This protein, designated DNA Fragmentation Factor (DFF), is a heterodimer of 40 kDa and 45 kDa subunits. The amino acid sequence of the 45 kDa subunit, determined from its cDNA sequence, reveals it to be a novel protein. Caspase-3 cleaves the 45 kD...
