Study of compact microstrip lowpass filter with improved performance using defected ground structure

A compact lowpass filter (LPF) with wide stopband which uses four non‐uniform cascaded defected ground structure (DGS) units along with a 50 Ω microstrip line is reported in this article. Each DGS unit, which consists of a combination of three isosceles U‐shaped DGSs is analyzed in terms of an equivalent RLC circuit model. Every DGS of the DGS unit along with microstrip line provides one attenuation pole. It is found through performance comparison of the proposed U‐shaped DGS with dumbbell‐ and fork‐shaped DGSs that the proposed U‐shaped DGS is compact and provides higher quality factor. Further, the modeling of the proposed LPF is carried out using equivalent RLC circuit model. The results obtained through numerical and circuit simulations are compared. The proposed LPF has size of 14.44 mm × 3.4 mm, 3‐dB cut‐off frequency of 14.2 GHz, and greater than 40 dB and 22 dB stopband rejection up to 21.8 GHz and 30 GHz respectively. The proposed LPF is fabricated and experimentally tested. The experimental results are nearly in agreement with corresponding numerical/circuit simulation results.
Reticulum of Immunizing Cells Antigenic Peptides in the Endoplasmic Responses In Vivo Does Not Require Cutting Edge: Cross-Priming of CTL

It has been proposed that the cross-priming of CTL responses in vivo involves the transfer to host APCs of heat shock protein glycoprotein 96-chaperoned antigenic peptides released from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of dying or infected cells. We have tested this possibility directly using TAP-deﬁcient cell lines lacking antigenic ER peptides derived from two model Ags, the human adenovirus type 5 early regions E1A and E1B. Although both proteins were well expressed, the cells were not recognized by E1A- or E1B-speciﬁc CTLs unless the relevant epitope was either provided exogenously as a synthetic peptide or targeted to the ER in a TAP-independent fashion. Despite the absence of these ER peptides, the TAP1 2 / 2 cells were able to efﬁciently cross-prime E1A- and E1B-speciﬁc CTLs following immunization of syngeneic mice. These results indicate that, although puriﬁed peptide/glycoprotein 96 complexes are potent immunogens, the mechanism of CTL cross-priming in vivo does not depend upon antigenic peptides in the ER of immunizing cells.

Resistance Training-Induced Changes in Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Recreationally Active Young Females

The present study examined the myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) response following an acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) in the untrained (UT) and trained (T) state to determine its association with hypertrophy in a female population. Ten recreationally active young females underwent ~9 wk of whole-body resistance training (RT). Whole-body fat free mass (FFM), vastus lateralis muscle thickness (MT) and 1RM strength were measured in the UT and T state. MyoPS was measured at 0 and 48 h post-RE following the first and final bout of RE using D2O. Following RT, there was a ~3.4% and ~8.8% increase in FFM (P < 0.001) and MT (P < 0.05), respectively, and 1RM strength increased for bench and leg press exercises (P < 0.01). MyoPS was potentiated with training 0-48 h post-RE (P < 0.05) with a positive correlation between changes in MT and MyoPS (r = 0.74, P < 0.05).
Hardware-Based Parameter Extraction of Acoustic Emission Burst Signal for Structural Health Monitoring Applications

ABSTRACT Acoustic Emission (AE) is sensitive to micro-mechanisms of deformation and fracture processes and can give indication prior to failure of a material. The parameters of the AE burst signals are correlated to the micro mechanics of damage and hence desired to be extracted in real-time. This paper proposes a hardware-based approach for extraction of AE signal parameters such as peak amplitude, RMS, AE count, event duration, and rise time, which reduces processing load of the microcontroller and signal processing time significantly. Multisim software is used for simulation of the hardware design and the results are presented in this paper.
Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring by Voltage–Current Trajectory Enabled Transfer Learning

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a technique for analyzing changes in the voltage and current flowing through the main feeder and determining the appliances in operation as well as their energy consumption. With the increase in amount and type of electric loads nowadays, it is of increasing significance to extract unique load signatures and build robust classification models for NILM. However, the electric loads of different households differ materially from one another, which makes it difficult to collect enough label data and train classification models with strong representation and generalization ability. In this paper, a voltage–current (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${V}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>–<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${I}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) trajectory enabled transfer learning method has been proposed for NILM. Different from the existing methods, a deep learning model pretrained on a visual recognition dataset is transferred to train the classifier for NILM, linking the knowledge between different domains. Moreover, the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${V}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>–<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${I}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> trajectory is also transferred to visual representation by color encoding, which not only enhances the load signature’s uniqueness but also enables the NILM implementation of transfer learning. The experimental results on NILM datasets show that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy and can be efficiently generalized compared with state-of-the-art methods.
Nonlinear transmission matrices of random optical media

Random media with tailored optical properties are attracting burgeoning interest for applications in imaging, biophysics, energy, nanomedicine, spectroscopy, cryptography and telecommunications. A key paradigm for devices based on this class of materials is the transmission matrix, the tensorial link between the input and the output signals, that describes in full their optical behavior. The transmission matrix has specific statistical properties, as the existence of lossless channels, that can be used to transmit information, and are determined by the disorder distribution. In nonlinear materials, these channels may be modulated and the transmission matrix tuned accordingly. Here we report the direct measurement of the nonlinear transmission matrix of complex materials, exploiting the strong optothermal nonlinearity of scattering Silica Aerogel (SA). We show that the dephasing effects due to nonlinearity are both controllable and reversible, opening the road to applications based on the nonlinear response of random media.
Sources of Role Stress among Employees in Indian Service Sector: A Review of Literature

Every country, today, is in a hurry to improve its economic strength and to become more self-sufficient. The services sector has remained the most vibrant sector in many countries in terms of contribution to GDP, national and state incomes, trade flows, FDI inflows, and employment. Globalization provides opportunities as well as challenges for nations to use innovation in service sector as a strategic lever to generate knowledge flows. The new opportunities and challenges of business in services sector play a critical role in the lives of individuals which have contributed to the phenomenon of stress for both individual employees and the organizations. The stress induced due to roles performed by individuals as employees at workplace, has been one of the most persuasive organizational stressors, the outcomes of which have been found to be costly to the organization. The present paper is an attempt to gather the reviews of the various Indian researchers on role stress and coping in service sector. Pareek’s Organizational Role Stress scale and Pestonjee’s Satisfaction-Dissatisfaction Employee’s Inventory for their study. Two age groups did not differ much on role stress dimensions. The author revealed that role erosion and resource inadequacy act as main stressors while role ambiguity and role expectation conflict are remote contributors to role stress in the sample population. engineering faculty members of 58 self-financing engineering and technology colleges four deemed universities in the Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu. ANOVA, ‘t’ test and Chi-square test were used to analyze the data. The results showed a significant association among gender, type of institution, location of the college, current working status and average number of working hours with causes of stress.

Automation testing tool is evolving field which provide maximum benefits to the software market by minimalizing efforts as well as cost for testing a software. In today's word, there are numerous programming languages namely Java, python, Ruby, C++ etc. and rare automated testing tools which works on most of languages. So selenium brings all these common language to the market. Now a tester can opt any of these languages to work with. There are a lot more features of selenium which makes it comfortable for tester to execute a test cross such as it supports multiple platforms and browsers. Selenium is one such tool which is an open source so it’s easy to install and even cost effective tool. There are many review papers regarding automation tools and selenium but none was able to provide all the specified features of selenium, which is an open source so its demand in market is very high from the time it was developed. The basic goal of this review Paper is to provide a brief knowledge of the automation testing tool which becomes a crucial part of the institutions, organizations and industries such as e-commerce, travel, biotech, pharmaceuticals etc. This review paper focuses on filling the gaps between few research papers by highlighting the need and features of selenium.
Insight into the Hydrogen Bonding for Uranyl Hydroxides using 1 H MAS NMR Spectroscopy

Solid state 1 H MAS NMR was used to investigate the local proton environments in α -UOH, UO 2 (OH) 2 , and metaschoepite, (UO 2 ) 4 O(OH) 6 •5H 2 O. For the metaschoepite material, the protons for the μ 2 -OH hydroxyl and inter-layer waters were resolved, with 2D double quantum (DQ) 1 H- 1 H NMR correlation experiments revealing strong dipolar interactions between these different proton species. These experimental NMR results were combined with first principle CASTEP GIPAW chemical shift calculations to develop correlations between the hydrogen bond strength and the observed 1 H chemical shifts. These correlations allowed variations in the local hydrogen bonding during the thermal dehydration of metaschoepite to be characterized.
RELATIVE ROLES OF HABITAT QUALITY, SIZE, AND CONNECTIVITY ON 5 CHINOOK SALMON USE OF SPAWNING PATCHES

Declines in many native fish populations have led to reassessments of 17 management goals and shifted priorities from consumptive uses to species preservation. As 18 management has shifted, relevant environmental characteristics have evolved from traditional 19 metrics that described local habitat quality to characterizations of habitat size and connectivity. 20 Despite the implications this shift has for how habitats may be prioritized for conservation, it has 21 been rare to assess the relative importance of these habitat components. We used an information22 theoretic approach to select the best models from sets of logistic regressions that linked habitat 23 quality, size, and connectivity to the occurrence of Chinook salmon nests. Spawning 24 distributions were censused annually from 1995 – 2004 and complimented with field 25 measurements that described habitat quality in 43 suitable spawning patches across a stream 26 network that drained 1150 km in central Idaho. Results indicated that the most plausible models 27 were dominated by measures of habitat size and connectivity, whereas habitat quality was of 28 minor importance. Connectivity was the strongest predictor of nest occurrence, but it interacted 29 with habitat size, which became relatively more important when populations were reduced. 30 Comparison of observed nest distributions to null model predictions confirmed that the habitat 31 size association was driven by a biological mechanism when populations were small, but this 32 association may have been an area related sampling artifact at higher abundances. Implications 33 for habitat management are that the size and connectivity of existing habitat networks should be 34 maintained whenever possible. In situations where habitat restoration is occurring, expansion of 35 existing areas or creation of new habitats in key areas that increase connectivity may be 36 beneficial. Information about habitat size and connectivity could also be used to strategically 37 prioritize areas for improvement of local habitat quality, with areas not meeting minimum 38 thresholds being deemed inappropriate for pursuit of restoration activities. 39
ReiB, a New Rel Family Transcription Activator That Can Interact with p5O-NF-KB

We have identified a serum-inducible gene, relB, which encodes a protein of 558 amino acids containing a region with high similarity to c-Rel and other members of the Rel family. Transcriptional activation analysis of GAL4-RelB fusion proteins in yeast cells reveals that RelB contains in its C-terminal 180 amino acids a transcriptional activation domain. The N-terminal part including the region of similarity with the Rel family shows no detectable transcriptional activity. RelB does not bind with high affinity to NF-KB sites, but heterodimers between RelB and p50-NF-KB do bind to different NF-KtB-binding sites with a similar affinity to that shown by p50-NF-KB homodimers. However, RelB/p50-NF-KB heterodimers, in contrast to p50-NF-KB homodimers, transactivate transcription of a promoter containing a KB-binding site. Growth a complex set of more than in fibroblasts
Resilience Design Patterns - A Structured Approach to Resilience at Extreme Scale (version 1.0)

In this document, we develop a structured approach to the management of HPC resilience based on the concept of resilience-based design patterns. A design pattern is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem. We identify the commonly occurring problems and solutions used to deal with faults, errors and failures in HPC systems. The catalog of resilience design patterns provides designers with reusable design elements. We define a design framework that enhances our understanding of the important constraints and opportunities for solutions deployed at various layers of the system stack. The framework may be used to establish mechanisms and interfaces to coordinate flexible fault management across hardware and software components. The framework also enables optimization of the cost-benefit trade-offs among performance, resilience, and power consumption. The overall goal of this work is to enable a systematic methodology for the design and evaluation of resilience technologies in extreme-scale HPC systems that keep scientific applications running to a correct solution in a timely and cost-efficient manner in spite of frequent faults, errors, and failures of various types.
Analysis and Design of High-Speed CMOS Frequency Dividers

Author(s): Molainezhad, Fatemehe | Advisor(s): Green, Michael M | Abstract: A frequency divider is one of the most fundamental and challenging blocks used in high-speed communication systems. Three high-speed dividers with different topologies, LC-tank frequency divider, CML ring frequency divider, and CML DFF frequency divider with negative feedback, are analyzed based on the locking phenomena. The locking to the injected signal happens as long as the frequency and the amplitude of the injected signal are in the desired operation region of the divider's sensitivity curve. A phase shift (which is a function of both frequency and the amplitude of the injected signal) occurs in the circuit and the divider will be locked to the injected frequency.Locking to an external signal may not necessarily occur just by considering the frequency of the injection signal being in the locking range, even if the frequency of the injection signal is very close to the self-oscillation frequency in a wide locking range scenario without the proper injected signal amplitude. To measure the phase shift when the oscillator is locked to the injected frequency, a novel procedure is developed. This procedure gives us a very precise tool to measure the locking phase, instantaneous phase, or the phase between any two signals inside the topology loop and provides a good ability for better understanding of the injection locking concept and the behavior of the divider in the presence of an injected signal. The simulations are using transistor models from TSMC 65nm CMOS process.
Recognizing Autoantigens They Drive the Inflammatory Process by Clones Exhibiting Features That Suggest Few Inflammatory T Cell Infiltrate with Very Administration Reveals a Complex Tissue before and during Methotrexate Nucleotide Sequencing of Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is an interesting MHC class I allele associated autoimmune disease where injury is likely mediated exclusively by T cells. We used TCR (cid:1) -chain nucleotide sequencing to gain insight into the adaptive immune events responsible for this injury and determine whether the numerous oligoclonal expansions of this disease represent extreme determinant spreading among driving clones that recognize autoantigen or were non-Ag-driven, inﬂammation-related expansions. Because methotrexate sup-presses but does not eliminate this inﬂammation, we hypothesized that clones persisting during methotrexate treatment would likely drive the inﬂammation. Seventy-six percent of the T cell clones in active tissue were polyclonal and unexpanded, accounting for 31% of transcripts. They were decreased greatly by methotrexate. Strikingly, most expanded clones in the inﬂamed joint did not persist during methotrexate treatment, were found only in inﬂammatory sites, exhibited no structural homology to one another, and were either CD4 or CD8 in lineage, suggesting they were non-autoantigen-driven, inﬂammation-related expansions. Only 12% of the expanded clones could be grouped into clonal sets distinguished by structurally homologous CDR3 (cid:1) -chain amino acid motifs suggesting Ag drive. These were exclusively CD8 in lineage, persisted during methotrexate administration, and were present in both joint ﬂuid and blood implying they were candidate driver clones that recognized an autoantigen. However, a major set of putative driver clones exhibited a previously described EBV-speciﬁc (cid:1) -chain motif, emphasizing that the dominant feature of the disease was activation of multiple clones apparently lacking speciﬁcity T clones
Induced Mycobacterium tuberculosis- from T Cells d g Nitric Oxide Synthase Protects Generation of Nitric Oxide by the Inducible

gd T cells are early recruited into mycobacterial lesions. Upon microbial Ag recognition, gd cells secrete cytokines and chemokines and undergo apoptosis via CD95/CD95 ligand (CD95L) interaction, possibly inﬂuencing the outcome of infection and the char-acteristics of the disease. In this paper we show that activated phagocytes acquire, upon challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the ability to inhibit M. tuberculosis -induced gd cell apoptosis. Apoptosis protection was due to NO because it correlated with NO synthase (NOS)-2 induction and activity in scavenger cells and was abrogated by NOS inhibitors. Furthermore, the NO donor S -nitrosoacetylpenicillamine mimicked the effect of enzyme induction. NO left unaffected the expression of CD95 and CD95L, suggesting interference with an event ensuing CD95/CD95L interaction. NO was found to interfere with the intracellular accumulation of ceramide and the activation of caspases, which were involved in gd T cells apoptosis after M. tuberculosis recognition. We propose that NO generated by infected macrophages determines the life span and therefore the function of lymphocytes at the infection site, thus linking innate and adaptive immunity.

Micro-Mobility Solution Based on Intra-domain multicast and Congestion Avoiding for Two-Nodes Mobile IP Network

—In this paper, we deal with micro-mobility in TWINBOARD network, which is a two nodes mobile network architecture based on an all IP infrastructure. The two nodes are the Base Station (BS) and the Access Gateway (AG). To manage micro-mobility, we propose a new approach providing efﬁcient and smooth handover, while being able to coexist and inter-operate with existing technologies. Speciﬁcally, we propose an intra-domain multicast-based handover approach combined with an Alert mechanism. Alert approach is a distributed mechanism that provides routers with information regarding the congestion state of other routers without any modiﬁcations on existing routing protocol. Our solution achieves an efﬁcient intra-domain handover and avoids ﬂooding in the network. The simulations used to evaluate our scheme and compare it to other multicast scheme - DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) show that our solution presents a good performance and outperforms DVMRP scheme. Our main contribution consists on an efﬁcient new approach to manage IP micro-mobility using intra-domain multicast with alert mechanism.

This syndrome is caused by genetic anomalies within the NALCN gene. The current report examines a 9-year-old female IHPRF1 patient. Our objective was to contribute to the delineation of the underlying factors influencing this rare condition. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was utilized to identify the disease-causing mutation in the affected individual. Subsequently, Sanger sequencing was performed for the patient, her parents, and two close relatives in order to confirm the detected mutation. Moreover, detailed clinical examinations including EEG, echocardiography, and biochemical/physical tests were carried out to elucidate the effects of the mutation. WES identified a homozygous nonsense mutation in the NALCN gene (c.2563C>T p.R855X). This mutation was confirmed by Sanger sequencing in the patient and her family members and segregated with the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of IHPRF1. Moreover, genotype-phenotype correlation analysis confirmed the disease-causing nature of this mutation. The current report provides the first detailed description of a patient with this homozygous nonsense mutation (c.2563C>T p.R855X) and expands the clinical spectrum of IHPRF1 disease. Possible influences of sex and other factors on this disease are discussed and a review of the literature is also provided.
