Inulin-125I-Tyramine, An Improved Residualizing Label For Studies On Sites Of Catabolism Of Circulating Proteins, Janet L. Maxwell, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe
Inulin-125I-Tyramine, An Improved Residualizing Label For Studies On Sites Of Catabolism Of Circulating Proteins, Janet L. Maxwell, John W. Baynes, Suzanne R. Thorpe
Faculty Publications
Residualizing labels for protein, such as dilactitol-125I-tyramine (125I-DLT) and cellobiitol-125I-tyramine, have been used to identify the tissue and cellular sites of catabolism of long-lived plasma proteins, such as albumin, immunoglobulins, and lipoproteins. The radioactive degradation products formed from labeled proteins are relatively large, hydrophilic, resistant to lysosomal hydrolases, and accumulate in lysosomes in the cells involved in degradation of the carrier protein. However, the gradual loss of the catabolites from cells (t1/2 approximately 2 days) has limited the usefulness of residualizing labels in studies on longer lived proteins. We describe here a higher molecular weight (Mr approximately 5000), more efficient …

Faculty Publications
Inclusive and exclusive measurements of light-charged particles (1,2,3H,4He) and heavy fragments have been made for the reaction 480 MeV 56Fe+natAg. The backward hemisphere emission of He4 and H1 in coincidence with a heavy fragment can be well described by evaporative emission from a combination of three sources: the detected fragment, the undetected fragment, and the composite system prior to scission. Multiplicities for each of these sources are determined for two coincident fragment groups: a fusion-fission-like group and a deeply-inelastic-reaction group. These multiplicities have also been studied at two angles for the trigger fragment (θTR=26° and 50°). For θTR=26° the multiplicity …

Subspaces Of Lp,Q, N L. Carothers, S J. Dilworth
Faculty Publications
We examine the subspace structure of the Lorentz function space Lp,q[0, oo). Our main result is that a subspace of Lp,q[0, oo), p ^ 2, q < oo,must either strongly embed in Lp[0,1] or contain a complemented copy of lq.
A Parallel-Processing Subsystem For Rapid 3-D Interpolation Of Ct Images, William A. Barrett, Stephen J. Allan, Scott R. Cannon
A Parallel-Processing Subsystem For Rapid 3-D Interpolation Of Ct Images, William A. Barrett, Stephen J. Allan, Scott R. Cannon
Faculty Publications
An inexpensive parallel-processing subsystem for the rapid interpolation of CT image planes is demonstrated with a variety of node topologies. The subsystem is based on a tree network of INMOS T414 Transputer processors and is hosted by an AT-based image workstation. The subsystem accepts a stack of eight arbitrarily-spaced 256 x 256 image planes from the host. Subsystem output to the host consists of a stack of 32 scaled and evenly-spaced image planes (256 x 256 x 32 with cubic voxels). Benchmark execution times ranged from 12.3 seconds for three nodes to 5.8 seconds for eight nodes.
Dynamic Display And Quantitative Analysis Of Three-Dimensional Left Ventricular Pathology, William A. Barrett, Jayaram K. Udupa
Dynamic Display And Quantitative Analysis Of Three-Dimensional Left Ventricular Pathology, William A. Barrett, Jayaram K. Udupa
Faculty Publications
Techniques have been developed for automated extraction and dynamic interactive display of three-dimensional (3D) left ventricular (LV) surface anatomy from Cine CT images using a PC-based image display architecture. Images of both endocardial and myocardial surface anatomy are generated from multiple views at multiple time instances to demonstrate various LV pathologies including apical akinesis, apical and posterior aneurysms, LV Failure, IHSS, and a left atrial myxoma. Surface generation requires interpolation between scans, surface tracking, and rendering. Generation of 60 views corresponding to a single time instance requires approximately 15 minutes. LV dimensions are measured between two or more surface points …

Inequalities For Sums Of Independent Random Variables, N L. Carothers, S J. Dilworth
Faculty Publications
A moment inequality is proved for sums of independent random variables in the Lorentz spaces LPtq, thus extending an inequality of Rosenthal. The latter result is used in combination with a square function inequality to give a proof of a Banach space isomorphism theorem. Further moment inequalities are also proved.
Analysis Of The Convergence History Of Fluid Flow Through Nozzles With Shocks, Mohammad Saleem, A Cheer, M Hafez, T Pulliam
Analysis Of The Convergence History Of Fluid Flow Through Nozzles With Shocks, Mohammad Saleem, A Cheer, M Hafez, T Pulliam
Faculty Publications
"Convergence of iterative methods for the solution of the steady quasi-one-dimensional nozzle problem with shocks is considered. The finite-difference algorithms obtained from implicit schemes are used to approximate both the Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations. These algorithms are investigated for stability and convergence characteristics. The numerical methods are broken down into their matrix-vector components and then analyzed by examining a subset of the eigensystem using a method based on the Arnoldi process. The eigenvalues obtained by this method are accurate to within 5 digits for the largest ones and to within 2 digits for the ones smaller in magnitude compared the …

Oxidative Degradation Of Glucose Adducts To Protein: Formation Of 3-(NE-Lysino)-Lactic Acid From Model Compounds And Glycated Proteins, Mahtab U. Ahmed, John A. Dunn, Michael D. Walla, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes
Faculty Publications
The chemistry of Maillard or browning reactions of glycated proteins is being studied in model systems in vitro in order to characterize potential reaction pathways and products in biological systems. In previous work with the Amadori rearrangement product N alpha-formyl-N epsilon-fructoselysine (fFL), an analog of glycated lysine residues in proteins, we showed that fFL was oxidatively cleaved between C-2 and C-3 of the carbohydrate chain to yield N epsilon-carboxymethyllysine (CML) and D-erythronic acid. We then detected CML in proteins glycated in vitro, as well as in human lens proteins and collagen in vivo (Ahmed, M. U., Thorpe, S. R., and …
Experimental Study Of Nonlinear Conductance In Small Metallic Samples, Richard A. Webb, S. Washburn, C. P. Umbach
Experimental Study Of Nonlinear Conductance In Small Metallic Samples, Richard A. Webb, S. Washburn, C. P. Umbach
Faculty Publications
We have directly observed current-dependent, nonlinear contributions to the conductance fluctuations of phase-coherent metallic wires and loops. The fluctuations in the current-voltage curves are reproducible, asymmetric about I=0, and in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. In ac measurements, the nonlinear terms also generate large harmonic signals of the conductance fluctuations whose dependence on the drive current can be understood qualitatively. The spectra of harmonics from loops and wires have different dependences on the voltage across the sample.
A Cytochemical Study Of The Transcriptional And Translational Regulation Of Nuclear Transition Protein 1 (Tp1), A Major Chromosomal Protein Of Mammalian Spermatids, Mohammad A. Heidaran, Richard M. Showman, Wilson Stephen Kistler
A Cytochemical Study Of The Transcriptional And Translational Regulation Of Nuclear Transition Protein 1 (Tp1), A Major Chromosomal Protein Of Mammalian Spermatids, Mohammad A. Heidaran, Richard M. Showman, Wilson Stephen Kistler
Faculty Publications
Immunocytochemical localization and in situ hybridization techniques were used to investigate the presence of spermatid nuclear transition protein 1 (TP1) and its mRNA during the various stages of spermatogenesis in the rat. A specific antiserum to TP1 was raised in a rabbit and used to show that TP1 is immunologically crossreactive among many mammals including humans. During spermatogenesis the protein appears in spermatids as they progress from step 12 to step 13, a period in which nuclear condensation is underway. The protein is lost during step 15. An asymmetric RNA probe generated from a TP1 cDNA clone identified TP1 mRNA …

Interpolation Of Besov-Spaces, Ronald A. Devore, Vasil A. Popova
Faculty Publications
We investigate Besov spaces and their connection with dyadic spline approximation in Lp(Omega), 0 < p (less than or equal to) infinity. Our main results are: the determination of the interpolation spaces between a pair of Besov spaces; an atomic decomposition for functions in a Besov space; the characterization of the class of functions which have certain prescribed degree of approximation by dyadic splines.
Quantum Electrodynamics Based On Self-Fields, Without Second Quantization: A Nonrelativisitc Calculation Of G – 2, A. O. Barut, Jonathan P. Dowling, Jean F. Van Huele
Quantum Electrodynamics Based On Self-Fields, Without Second Quantization: A Nonrelativisitc Calculation Of G – 2, A. O. Barut, Jonathan P. Dowling, Jean F. Van Huele
Faculty Publications
Using a formulation of quantum electrodynamics that is not second quantized, but rather based on self-fields, we compute the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron to first order in the fine structure constant α. In the nonrelativistic (NR) case and in the dipole approximation, our result is ae≡(g—2)/2=(4Λ/3m)(α/2π), where Λ is a positive photon energy cutoff and m the electron mass. A reasonable choice of cutoff, Λ/m=¾, yields the correct sign and magnitude for g—2 namely, ae=+α/2π. . In our formulation the sign of a3 is correctly positive, …

Nonlocal Symmetries And Backlund Transformations For The Self-Dual Yang-Mills System, C. J. Papachristou, Kent B. Harrison
Nonlocal Symmetries And Backlund Transformations For The Self-Dual Yang-Mills System, C. J. Papachristou, Kent B. Harrison
Faculty Publications
The observation is made that generalized evolutionary isovectors of the self-dual Yang–Mills equation, obtained by "verticalization'' of the geometrical isovectors derived in a previous paper [J. Math. Phys. 28, 1261 (1987)], generate Bäcklund transformations for the self-dual system. In particular, new Bäcklund transformations are obtained by "verticalizing'' the generators of point transformations on the solution manifold. A geometric ansatz for the derivation of such (generally nonlocal) symmetries is proposed.
Digital Neural Networks, Tony R. Martinez
Digital Neural Networks, Tony R. Martinez
Faculty Publications
Demands for applications requiring massive parallelism in symbolic environments have given rebirth to research in models labeled as neural networks. These models are made up of many simple nodes which are highly interconnected such that computation takes place as data flows amongst the nodes of the network. To present, most models have proposed nodes based on simple analog functions, where inputs are multiplied by weights and summed, the total then optionally being transformed by an arbitrary function at the node. Learning in these systems is accomplished by adjusting the weights on the input lines. This paper discusses the use of …
Comparison Of Effective Medium Procedures For Optical Modeling Of Laminar Structures, David D. Allred, Robert F. Edgerton
Comparison Of Effective Medium Procedures For Optical Modeling Of Laminar Structures, David D. Allred, Robert F. Edgerton
Faculty Publications
This study addresses the question, "How can the optical properties of matter in ultrathin amorphous nonmetallic films in multilayers best be determined from reflectance (R) and transmission (T) measurements?" A blue shift in the band gap of plasma CVD a-Si:H/a-SiNx:H multilayers was reported several years ago. It was suggested that the shift in the band gap, Eg, Relative to bulk a-Si:H as given by the Tauç plot was due to quantum confinement effects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of various effective media theories (EMT) for determining the optical constants of materials in a multilayer and …
