PSA-activated proaerolysin as a prostate specific cancer therapy by Abi-Habib, Ralph

“…The goal of this study was to examine the suitability of PRX302 for use as a therapeutic agent in prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia as assessed by comparing proteolytic activation of PRX302 and native proaerolysin and their cytotoxicity towards PSA-producing and non-producing cell lines. Modification of native proaerolysin to PRX302 markedly altered the activity of each of the proteases (chymotrypsin, trypsin, furin, and thrombin) tested toward this protein. …”

Mechanisms of human recombinant arginase I (Co) - PEG5000 [Huarg I (Co) - PEG5000] - induced cytotoxicity on AML cells. (c2017) by Assaf, Nicole

“…A common mutation in cancer is amino acid auxotrophy, particularly arginine, which is needed for the production of many metabolites and also involved in immunoregulation and protein modification. We have previously shown that AML cells were auxotrophic for arginine and highly sensitive to arginine deprivation induced by a PEGylated human recombinant Arginase I cobalt [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000], hence demonstrating that arginine deprivation may constitute an attractive strategy for the selective targeting of AML cells. …”

Analytical and experimental investigation of modal disparity by Issa, Jimmy

“…For a given structure, the concept of modal disparity describes its ability to generate significant changes in the mode shapes by some type of on-the-fly structural modification. In the present study we consider a vibrating beam that experiences a controlled stiffness change, induced by the activation and deactivation of an electromagnetic brake. …”

Multilayer ionic polymer transducer by Akle, Barbar J.

“…Experiments on transducers with one to three layers are performed and the results are compared to Newbury"s equivalent circuit model, which was modified to accommodate the multilayer polymers. The modification was performed on four different boundary conditions, two electrical the series and the parallel connection, and two mechanical the zero interfacial friction and the zero slip on the interface. …”

Modified Particle Filters for Detection of False Data Injection Attacks and State Estimation in Networked Nonlinear Systems by Nargess Sadeghzadeh-Nokhodberiz (16904952)

“…In this paper, it is firstly shown that with the normal SIS PF, the injected false data to the networked systems remains stealthy and therefore it is not possible to reduce the degrading effect of the attack on the estimation. However, with a modification in the proposal pdf, a modified SIS PF is then proposed which guarantees the attack detectability where the attacked measurements are incorporated in the particle generation process and thus the particles are updated and make the attack detectable. …”

Lyapunov Energy Function Based Control Method for Three-Phase UPS Inverters With Output Voltage Feedback Loops by Sertac Bayhan (16388511)

“…The presented paper demonstrates that the traditional Lyapunov-energy-function-based control method not only leads to considerable steady-state error in the output voltage, but also distorts the output voltage waveforms. Therefore, a modification has been performed on the traditional Lyapunov-energy-function-based control by incorporating the output voltage feedback loops in the control variables. …”
