In-Situ Depth Measurement of Laser Micromachining

Precision laser micromachining plays an important role in the biomedical, electronics, and material processing industries. During laser drilling, precision depth detection with micrometer-level resolution is required, particularly with blind-hole or heterogeneous structures. We present an optical detection system utilizing an optical confocal structure, experimentally confirmed to achieve a >95% accuracy for micron-diameter holes that are tens-of-microns deep. This system can be easily integrated into commercial laser micromachining processes, and can be employed in laser drilling and three-dimensional active-feedback laser printing.
PHD Filter for Multi-Radar Multi-Target Tracking

Target tracking with multiple radars is more efficient than tracking with one radar. In this paper, a multi-radar tracking system is proposed even when targets are occluded at radars. Observations from all radars are composed, then, Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter is used to estimate the multi-target state and the number at each time step. PHD particle filter implementation is used to perform the proposed method consisting of multiple mameuvering targets.
A low phase noise PMOS tuned‐input tuned‐output voltage controlled oscillator in 0.18 μm CMOS technology

A low phase noise tuned‐input tuned‐output (TITO) voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) using PMOS transistors is presented in this article.The TITO‐VCO, implemented using a 0.18 μm RF CMOS process, resulted in a phase noise performance of −118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the center frequency of 4.7 GHz. The figure‐of‐merit of the TITO‐VCO was 188 dB. To the author's knowledge, this is the first report on the measured performance of differential TITO‐VCO implemented using PMOS transistors. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Application of the Unified Protocol for a Japanese Patient with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Multiple Comorbidities: A Single-Case Study

(1) Background: The efficacy of the Unified Protocol (UP), a transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapy, with trauma-focused exposure has not been sufficiently demonstrated for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with multiple comorbidities. This study examined the effects of UP treatment with trauma-focused exposure on symptoms of PTSD and comorbidities in a client who was hesitant about exposure. (2) Methods: The client, who had comorbid dysthymia, social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and bulimia nervosa, participated in the UP for 20 sessions over 6 months. The principal diagnosis and symptoms of the comorbid disorders were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up. This treatment was conducted as part of a clinical study (UMIN000008322). (3) Results: The client showed improvement in the principal diagnosis and symptoms of the comorbid disorders post-intervention compared with baseline and no longer met the diagnostic criteria for any of the disorders. Considerable symptom improvement was observed with imaginal exposure to trauma memories. (4) Conclusions: The UP was an effective alternative treatment for PTSD and symptoms of comorbidities in this client who was hesitant about exposure to traumatic memories, and that the inclusion of trauma-focused exposure provided sufficient therapeutic effects. Further research is needed to examine the generalizability of our findings.
Mapping single-cell transcriptomes to copy number evolutionary trees

Cancer arises and evolves by the accumulation of somatic mutations that provide a selective advantage. The interplay of mutations and their functional consequences shape the evolutionary dynamics of tumors and contribute to different clinical outcomes. In the absence of scalable methods to jointly assay genomic and transcriptomic profiles of the same individual cell, the two data modalities are usually measured separately and need to be integrated computationally. Here, we introduce SCATrEx, a statistical model to map single-cell gene expression data onto the evolutionary history of copy number alterations of the tumor. SCATrEx jointly assigns cancer cells assayed with scRNA-seq to copy number profiles arranged in a copy number aberration tree and augments the tree with clone-specific clusters. Our simulations show that SCATrEx improves over both state-of-the-art unsupervised clustering methods and cell-to-clone assignment methods. In an application to real data, we observe that SCATrEx finds inter-clone and intra-clone gene expression heterogeneity not detectable using other integration methods. SCATrEx will allow for a better understanding of tumor evolution by jointly analysing the genomic and transcriptomic changes that drive it.
Readout for large arrays of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors using a Fast Fourier Transform Spectrometer

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors have great potential for large very sensitive detector arrays for use in, for example, ground and spaced based sub‐mm imaging. Being intrinsically readout in the frequency domain, they are particularly suited for frequency domain multiplexing allowing 1000s of devices to be readout with one pair of coaxial cables. However, this moves the complexity of the detector from the cryogenics to the warm electronics. We present the use of a readout based on a Fast Fourier transform Spectrometer, showing no deterioration of the noise performance compared to low noise analog mixing while allowing high multiplexing ratios (>100). We present use of this technique to multiplex 44 MKIDs, while this and similar setups are regularly now being used in our array development. This development will help the realization of large cameras, particularly in the short term for ground based astronomy.
The Urgency of Political Commitment in Formulation Reproductive Health Education Policy

Kulon Progo is the first area to have a local content of Reproductive Health Education in the curriculum, that is, since 2014. This was motivated by the high rate of underage marriage and the high level of maternal mortality ratio in the Special Region of Yogyakarta at that time. The Regent of Kulon Progo who served during that period, Hasto Wardoyo, was the party who initiated and directly led this policy-making process. This study seeks to analyze the form of political commitment from Hasto Wardoyo in the policy on Public Health Education by using Boli’s theory of political will criteria, in which political commitment is broadly divided into three groups, namely verbal will, institutional will, and budgetary will. Researchers used qualitative research methods supported by interview data with parties directly involved in the process of making and implementing policies, including the Chair of the Indonesia Union of Teachers, the Chair of the Indonesia Association of Family Planning, the Head of the Education Office, and the Head of the Health Office in the regency. The results of this study indicate that the Regent has shown his political commitment in the sense of verbal and regulation dimensions. However, in terms of institutional and budgetary will, the Regent did not show any form of political commitment, which resulted in the neglect of this policy on Reproductive Health Education after it had been launched.

Developing full-spectrum innovation capability for survival and success in the global economy

In the last two decades the competitive landscape for many organisations has been changing rapidly in complex and unpredictable ways. As a result, their ability to survive in the global economy often takes priority over the industrial era goal of profit maximisation. This is particularly obvious now, following the onset of the current global economic crisis, the biggest since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Full-spectrum innovation capability refers to an organisation's ability to create value derived not only from new products and services for customers, but also from changes in its business model, in its culture and in the distribution of power for decision-making. The proposed approach involves pursuing innovations (1) horizontally, working from customer needs backwards along successive stages of a firm's value chain; and (2) vertically, at successively deeper levels of communications and decision-making processes, based on challenging the assumptions underlying the present business model. The purpose of full-spectrum innovation is twofold. The first is to achieve the outcomes needed for survival and sustainable excellence by creating value for customers and other stakeholders. The second is to capture most of the value created from the temporary monopoly-type competitive advantage conferred from innovations.
Proposal of the Dichotomous STATIS DUAL Method: Software and Application for the Analysis of Dichotomous Data, Applied to the Test of Learning Styles in University Students

The present work analyzed a review of methods for analyzing sequences of matrices or dichotomous data. A new method for a sequence of dichotomous matrices with a different number of rows is presented; the Dichotomous STATIS DUAL. Suppose we match the sequence of matrices by different years, with this method. In that case, we can graphically represent the relations among the different columns of all the matrices, and the relations between those columns and the different years, because everything can be represented in the same plots. As in all STATIS methods, three different plots can get: (i) the interstructure, with the relations among the years; (ii) the compromise, with the stable part of the relations between the columns; and (iii) the intrastructure (also known as trajectories), with the relations between columns and years, in other words, the evolution of the columns through the time. This new mathematical method can be used with all kinds of dichotomous data, thanks to the software we propose. In the present work, the software was applied to the assessment of learning styles.
FRIT for Non-Miminimum Phase Systems in the 2DOF Control Architecture: Simultaneous Attainment of Controllers and Models

This paper provides one of the practical and meaningful applications of controller parameter tuning in the Two-Degree-of-Freedom (2DOF) control architecture for non-minimum phase systems. The paper proposes a simultaneous attainment of a desired controller and a mathematical model of a plant by utilizing fictitious reference iterative tuning (FRIT), which is useful controller parameter tuning with only one-shot experimental data, to feedforward controller in the 2DOF controllers. The proposed cost function to be minimized leads to the attainment of both of the desired controller and the mathematical model of the plant. Finally, a numerical example to show the validity of the proposed method is illustrated.
Analysis of voltage and current stresses of a generalised step-up DC-DC converter

A non-isolated DC-DC converter with high-voltage gain and low-voltage stress on switches is proposed in this study. For absorption of energy n stages of diode-capacitor-inductor (D-C-L) units are used at the input that results in higher voltage gains. Actually, the proposed converter generalises the voltage lift circuit and combines it with a voltage multiplier cell. Therefore comparing to structures with one stage of D-C-L unit, it will be feasible to achieve supposed voltage gain at lower duty cycles. Lower values of duty cycle will result in increasing of converter controllability and increasing of operation region. The generalised analysis of the voltage and current stresses of the semiconductors and power components is carried out. The circuit performance will be compared with other solutions that were previously proposed for voltage step-up in the terms of voltage gain, switch and output diode voltage stress and number of components. The carried mathematical analysis and circuit performance are validated through both simulation and experimental results that match each other reasonably well.
The Electromagnetic Field of an Insulated Antenna in a Conducting Or Dielectric Medium

Insulated antennas are useful for localized heating as in the hyperthermia treatment of tumors and the extraction of shale oil. The distribution of current in and the admittance of a center-driven dipole embedded in a general medium are reviewed. Formulas for the electric field generated by the currents in the dipole are derived for all points outside the antenna. Near the antenna, the field is elliptically polarized. Formulas for the polarization ellipses are derived and evaluated for antennas with electrical half-lengths Beta/sub L/h = pi/4, pi/2, pi, and 3pi/2, where k/sub L/ =beta/sub L/ + i alpha/sub L/ is the wavenumber of the current, and this is different from the wavenumber of the ambient medium.
Values-led participatory design

The widespread use of participatory design (PD) has meant that different approaches and conceptualisations exist in this field today. In this article, it is argued that one fruitful approach is to rekindle a concern for values in design, focusing upon values as the engine that drives activities in PD. Drawing from the authors‘ own PD projects, this article shows how this can be accomplished: through designers enacting their appreciative judgement of values by engaging in a dynamic and dialogical process of cultivating the emergence of values, developing them and supporting their grounding.
The Sulawesi Thrush (Cataponera turdoides; Aves: Passeriformes) belongs to the genus Turdus

The Asian and Australo‐Papuan faunas meet and intermix across the islands of Wallacea. Untangling the origins and relationships of the species inhabiting these archipelagos is an ongoing project that has lasted for well over a century. In recent years, molecular phylogenetic studies have made considerable progress in clarifying the affinities of enigmatic Wallacean taxa, but taxonomic riddles remain, even in groups as well studied as birds. Such is the case with Sulawesi Thrush Cataponera turdoides, a scarce and elusive montane songbird whose taxonomic placement has remained controversial since its description. To determine the evolutionary relationships of this monotypic genus, we obtained a museum specimen and employed whole‐genome resequencing to generate a multi‐locus dataset. Phylogenetic analyses were performed using UCEs, and individual mitochondrial and nuclear genes. We show that Cataponera is a true thrush of the large and geographically widespread genus Turdus. It belongs to a clade predominantly composed of migratory Palearctic species, but has no close relatives within that group. Sulawesi Thrush is one of only two members of the genus Turdus known to have crossed Wallace's Line to form resident populations.
An Analysis of the Knowledge Base of Scientific Research and Development Business Services

It is argued that the literature on SR&D outsourcing focuses mostly on client firms, that is, the demand side, while little is known of the characteristics of the supplying sector. The present paper tackles this gap by elaborating an exploratory analysis of this business service sector with a view to analyse the main patterns of specialization and their evolution over time. Using data on job content and skill requirements in the United States we explore how different forms of knowledge co-exist and co-evolve within a changing sector.
Identification of Power Quality Disturbances Based on FFT and Attribute Weighted Artificial Immune Evolutionary Classifier

Nowadays, the issue of Electromagnetic Compatibility is of great importance and urgency. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid automatic identification system for power quality disturbances, which lays foundations for further analyzing the electromagnetic compatibility. Specifically, we firstly extract features by using the FFT and envelope detection method. Then we utilize the attribute weighted artificial immune evolutionary Classifier (AWAIEC) for classification of power quality disturbance events. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method performs better than existing approaches.
Chemical Characterization, Nutritional and Bioactive Properties of Physalis peruviana Fruit from High Areas of the Atacama Desert

Physalis peruviana L. belongs to the Solanaceae family and produces a spherical fruit used to treat various diseases. However, the chemical composition, nutritional characterization, and bioactive properties of the P. peruviana growing in the Andean region of the Atacama Desert have not been conducted so far. The results showed clear differences in the nutritional and bioactive characteristics of the fruits grown in arid environmental conditions, which were comparable to those from countries with a production tradition. The fruits studied showed a higher Ca, Cu, Mn, P, and Zn content and bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and tannins than those reported in the literature. UHPLC was performed to determine the main phenols. Gallic acid was identified as the predominant phenolic compound in this species (303.63 mg/100 g FW), of which to our knowledge no previous study has reported similar concentrations in this species. Moreover, Cape gooseberry extract has antioxidant and antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Pseudomonas syringae (MIC 0.313 mg/mL and MBC 1.25 mg/mL) was the most susceptible bacterium. Meanwhile, Erwinia rhapontici was the most resistant bacterium (MIC and MIB 5.00 mg/mL). Furthermore, it was found to inhibit α-amylase activity with an IC50 value (39.28 µg/mL) similar to that of acarbose (35.74 µg/mL). These results expand the knowledge of the species cultivated in arid environmental conditions and suggest an alternative for the potential use of this fruit to manage chronic diseases such as diabetes.

Thermal design studies of high-power heterojunction bipolar transistors

A theoretical thermoelectro-feedback model has been developed for the thermal design of high-power GaAlAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The power-handling capability, thermal instability, junction temperature, and current distributions of HBTs with multiple emitter fingers have been numerically studied. The calculated results indicate that power HBTs on Si substrates (or with Si as the collector) have excellent potential power performance and reliability. The power-handling capability on Si is 3.5 and 2.7 times as large as that on GaAs and InP substrates, respectively. The peak junction temperature and temperature difference on the chip decrease in comparison to the commonly used Si homostructure power transistor with the same geometry and power dissipation. Thereby HBTs are promising for high-speed microwave and millimeter-wave applications. It has been also found that the nonuniform distribution of junction temperature and current can be greatly improved by a ballasting technique that uses unequal-valued emitter resistors. >
Exposure to Non-exhaust Emission in Central Seoul Using an Agent-based Framework

Non-exhaust emission (NEE) from brake and tyre wear cause deleterious effects on human health, but the relationship with mobility has not been thoroughly examined. We construct an in silico agent-based traffic simulator for Central Seoul to illustrate the coupled problems of emissions, behaviour, and the estimated exposure to PM10 (particles less than 10 microns in size) for groups of drivers and subway commuters. The results show that significant extra particulates relative to the background exist along roadways where NEEs contributed some 40% of the roadside PM10. In terms of health risk, 88% of resident drivers had an acute health effect in late March but that kind of emergence rarely happened. By contrast, subway commuters’ health risk peaked at a maximum of 30% with frequent oscillations whenever the air pollution episodes occurred. A 90% vehicle restriction scenario reduced PM10 by 18-24%, and reduced the resident driver's risk by a factor of 2, but not effective for subway commuters as the group generally walked through background areas rather than along major roadways. Using an agent-based traffic simulator in a health context can give insights into how exposure and health outcomes can depend on the time of exposure and the mode of transport.
