Book excerpt: A first-hand look at the extraordinary collapse of FTX, Alameda Research, and Sam Bankman-Fried In SBF: How the FTX Bankruptcy Unwound Crypto’s Very Bad Good Guy, accomplished crypto reporter Brady Dale presents an engrossing take on the spectacular and sudden implosion of FTX, Alameda Research, and their associated companies, as well as the criminal indictments of Sam Bankman-Fried and several of his associates. In the book, you’ll go beyond the salacious details and tawdry gossip to grasp the real lessons to be learned from one of the most dramatic corporate failures in living memory. The author explores: The often-confusing world of cryptocurrency and decentralized finance, offering a deep understanding of both industries The history of Sam Bankman-Fried, what smart money players had to say about him in 2019 and 2020, and why many decentralized finance professionals considered him a “pirate” even before FTX and Alameda blew up What the aggressive lobbying campaigns waged by FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried reveal about the latter’s motives and goals An extraordinary account of almost unimaginable wealth, greed, and hubris, SBF is a can’t-miss account of a fascinating corporate tragedy that continues to unfold to this very day.

Book excerpt: Sixteen-element short-backfire arrays have been shown to yield maximum gains of approximately 25 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns and directivity has been experimentally determined by varying the frequency. A table of the normalized design parameters for an area efficiency of approximately 90 percent is given for construction purposes. All array dimensions are indicated in wavelengths so that each application can easily be scaled for any desired frequency range.

Book excerpt: Four-element short-backfire (SBF) arrays have been shown to yield maximum gains of approximately 20 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns has been experimentally determined. Specific parameter values required to yield certain pattern characteristics--for example, highest gain, lowest sidelobe level, equal half-power beamwidth, or equal beam shapes in both the E and H planes--have been established. Tables of the normalized design parameters are given for construction purposes. All array dimensions are indicated in wavelengths so that each model can easily be scaled for any desired frequency range. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight short backfire (SBF) elements aligned on a common planar reflector form a highly efficient fan-beam array capable of yielding a maximum gain of approximately 24 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns and directivity was experimentally determined by varying the frequency. Normalized design parameters for highest efficiency and for circular polarization capability are tabulated. All array dimensions are given in wavelengths so that each application can easily be scaled for any desired frequency.
Download or read book An SBF Array for Reception of Atmospheric Noise written by J. A. Strom and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A four-element short-backfire array was designed, fabricated, and experimentally tested for use as a receiving antenna of low level atmospheric noise at 920 MHz. A complete set of design dimensions is presented as well as the resultant radiation patterns and frequency curves of sidelobe levels, half-power beamwidths, and input impedance. The effects of variations on the size and shape of the main reflector are discussed, especially when efficient operation with low sidelobes or high gain is of prime importance. Supporting data and tables of optimum design dimension are also provided for future VHF or UHF antenna applications in the gain range of 17 to 20 dB.

Download or read book Analysis of SBF an SnRNA Enhancer Binding Protein and Cloning of the Chicken Rreb 1 Gene written by Jon Hatsuo Miyake and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertebrate snRNA genes contain two well conserved regions in their 5' flanking DNA sequence. The distal sequence element serves as an enhancer to stimulate gene expression and the proximal sequence element functions to specify the transcription start site. The two U4 genes in the chicken genome code for distinct sequence variants of U4 snRNA that are differentially expressed during development. Whereas U4B RNA is constitutively expressed, U4X RNA is specifically down-regulated relative to U4B in a tissue-specific manner during development. The distal sequence elements for the U1, U4B and U4X snRNA genes contain an octamer binding site juxtaposed to an SPH motif which has been shown to bind the SBF factor. In Chapter 1, I describe the analysis of protein-DNA interactions at the promoter and enhancer regions of chicken U4B and U4X genes. Both genes are expressed at similar levels in the early embryo but U4X expression is specifically down-regulated relative to U4B as development proceeds. I demonstrate that the SPH binding factor, SBF, binds to the U4X SPH motif 20-30 fold less efficiently than to the SPH motif of the U4B gene. I also demonstrate that the Oct-1 factor has similar affinities for the octamer sequence of both genes. Binding assays using nuclear extracts from various developmental stages and tissues revealed that Oct-1 and SBF protein levels do not change throughout development or in different tissues. In contrast, a proximal sequence factor termed PPBF that only binds to the promoter of the U4X gene is up-regulated during development and varies between tissues. Overall, these observations suggest potential roles for SBF and PPBF in the preferential down regulation of U4X gene expression. In chapter 2 I further analyze the properties of the SBF factor. First I address if the Oct-1 and SBF factors can cooperatively bind to the U4B enhancer region. Earlier studies in our lab indicated that SBF and Oct-1 function synergistically in transcription of the U1 and U4B enhancers. However, electrophoretic mobility shift studies indicate the synergistic effect between these factors is not caused by cooperative DNA binding in vitro. I also report that similar SBF-like activities are found in Xenopus oocyte and HeLa cell nuclear extracts. Regarding the chicken and HeLa SBF factor, UV cross-linking studies demonstrate that both are approximately 85 kDa. In chapter 3 I report attempts to clone the SBF gene from a chicken embryo cDNA library and the fortuitous cloning and molecular characterization of the gene encoding the chicken homologue to human RREB-1. Preliminary studies indicated that a candidate clone for SBF had been obtained but isolation of further cDNA clones and antibodies directed against the cloned gene determined that this gene did not encode SBF. Near the completion of this project, other investigators identified a gene in a human medullary thyroid carcinoma cell line termed rreb-1 that is 53% identical and 69% similar to the deduced amino acid sequence of the gene I cloned. Amino acid alignment and the arrangement and sequence of the zinc fingers suggest that the gene I cloned encodes the chicken homologue to the human RREB-1 protein, a Ras-responsive element binding protein. The deduced amino acid sequence for chicken RREB-1 is greatly extended at its N-terminus compared to human RREB-1 and explanations for this are discussed.
