Active Body Bias for Low-Power Silicon-On-Insulator Design

DAMIANO, JOHN. Active Body Bias for Low-Power Silicon-On-Insulator Design. (Under the direction of Professor Paul D. Franzon.) SOI device technology offers the circuit designer higher performance and greater flexibility. This work proposes the use of a targeted substrate bias and innovative device and circuit topologies to achieve higher performance and lower power while providing a strategy to compensate for wide temperature and process variations. This project introduces and evaluates a modified H-gate device topology (integrated drain-body transistor, or IDBT) vs. alternative structures using simulation supported by electrical results obtained from test circuits. The IDBT can be used to locally and dynamically reduce MOSFET VTH, increase switching speed, and improve circuit energy-delay product by up to 30%. For all structures investigated, the dynamic body bias provided by IDBTs provides improved logic cell performance vs. conventional source-tied cell designs. This work also examines use of body bias to compensate for temperature or process variations. The temperature range seen by space electronics exceeds standard commercial specs and even military specs. Integrated circuits placed on a satellite or lander vehicle may be expected to operate from below -200oC to over 200oC. In this environment, the stabilization of key circuit parameters across temperature, whether power consumption or performance metrics, can be accomplished through a targeted substrate bias. The amount of stabilization available, i.e. the degree to which key parameters can be shifted in-situ, is explored. Similarly, variations in device parameters due to process variations can also be compensated using this technique. Finally, these efforts exposed marginalities in the models for Honeywell MOI5 MOSFETs. At low temperatures, the simulated device characteristics diverged substantially from the electrical data, while the PMOS device simulation results displayed incorrect body factor. This work interprets these results and develops improved models based on electrical results from a series of test structures. ACTIVE BODY BIAS FOR LOW-POWER SILICON-ON-INSULATOR DESIGN

Comparison of follicular T helper cells, monocytes, and T cells priming between newly diagnosed and rituximab-treated MS patients and healthy controls

Background and purpose: The use of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies like rituximab (RTX) to deplete B cells has practical therapeutic implications in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. However, the therapy’s impact on other immune cells is also important. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the effects of RTX therapy on Tfh cells, T cells, T cells priming, and monocytes in MS patients compared to newly-diagnosed MS patients and healthy subjects. Experimental approach: Thirty newly-diagnosed and RTX-treated MS patients and healthy control were included. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from whole blood for assessment of Tfh cells, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD45RA+, CD3+HLA-DR+, and CD3+CD4+CD25+ T cells by flow cytometry. Whole blood was lysed by lysis solution to assess CD45+CD14+ monocytes by flow cytometry. Also, the serum level of interleukin 21 was measured by the ELISA method. Findings / Results: We showed that RTX treatment led to a decrease in Tfh cells and their predominant cytokine, interleukin 21. Also, we found a statistically significant reduction in CD3+HLA-DR+ and CD3+CD4+CD25+ T cells in RTX-treated patients compared to new cases and healthy control. Moreover, we found a decrease in the CD45+ CD14+ monocyte population in the RTX-treated group compared to the healthy control. Conclusion and implications: Our data suggest that following treatment with RTX, Tfh cells, monocytes, and T cells priming declined happened, and fewer T cells were activated. Also, due to the interaction between B cells and Tfh cells, Tfh targeting could be assessed as a therapeutic strategy in MS.
Relationships between Fitness Status and Blood Biomarkers in Professional Soccer Players

Background Physical conditions are recognized to be optimal after the pre-season (PS) phase in professional sports. Given that blood measures may also reveal variations, which in turn, may present associations with fitness changes. Objective The aim of this study is to test the changes of blood markers and physical fitness outcomes at the beginning and following the PS phase. Additionally, we aimed also to analyze the associations of training adaptations between blood markers and the physical fitness measures. Methodology. 25 professional male soccer players (28.1 ± 4.6 years old, 2.0 ± 7.8 kg, and 176.7 ± 4.9 cm) were assessed for hematological and biochemical parameters, and physical fitness measures in the baseline and after the phase of PS. Results Increases in platelets were observed after the PS phase (p = 0.001, η2 = 0.39). Regarding the biochemical parameters, significant increases between PS were found for creatinine (Cre) (p = 0.001, η2 = 0.66), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (p = 0.001, η2 = 0.79), C-Reactive Protein (CRP) (p = 0.001, η2 = 0.74), cortisol (C) (p = 0.001, η2 = 0.63), and testosterone (T) (p = 0.001, η2 = 0.76), whereas significant decreases were found for albumin (Alb) (p = 0.004, η2 = 0.29), and calcium corrected (Ca Corr.) (p = 0.002, η2 = 0.32). Moderate correlations were found between albumin and the 5-meter linear sprint split (r = –0.44 (95%CI: –0.71; –0.05)) and CRP (r = –0.48 (95%CI: –0.74; –0.10)). Moderate correlations were found between VAMEVAL and hemoglobin (r = 0.44 (95%CI: 0.05; 0.71)). Conclusions The overall physical fitness measures improved after the PS phase. Also, significant variations (decreases/increases) were observed for the case of biomchemical and hematological outcomes. Coaches should carefully consider the adaptative changes observed in blood parameters as the changes in whole organism and metabolism after specific critical phases as the PS in professional players. Thus, optimal management of stimulus/recovery can be warranted to minimize illness and injury rate and to follow the direction and dynamics of adaptative changes.
FLOW PATTERN AND FRICTION MEASUREMENTS OF TURBULENT FLOW IN CORRUGATED PIPES

This article presents numerical and experimental investigation of turbulent flow in periodically corrugated pipes. Four geometric configurations of "d-type" corrugated surfaces are evaluated, including variations on grooves height and length, and calculations for Reynolds numbers ranging from 5,000 to 100,000 are performed. The numerical analysis is done using CFD, and the two-equation, low-Reynolds-number Chen-Kim k-e turbulence model is used. Several flow properties are computed numerically, such as friction factor, turbulence kinetic energy and Reynolds stress. In addition, an experimental loop is designed to perform pressure-drop measurements of turbulent water flow in corrugated pipes, for the geometric configurations assumed, and the pressure-drop values are correlated with the friction factor to validate the numerical results. Numerical results show that the magnitude of all flow quantities analyzed in general increase near the corrugated wall, and such increase tends to be more significant for higher Reynolds numbers and for larger grooves as well. According to previous works, these results may be related to a momentum transfer enhancement between the groove and core flow caused by increases on the Reynolds number and on the groove length. Numerical friction factors show good agreement with the experimental measurements and a previous numerical work.
Optimum Functionalization of Si Nanowire FET for Electrical Detection of DNA Hybridization

In this work, we demonstrate a wafer-scale fabrication of biologically sensitive Si nanowire FET for pH sensing and electrical detection of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hybridization. Based on conventional “top-down” CMOS compatible technology, our bioFETs explore a wide range of design (nanowires (NW), nanoribbons (NR), and honeycomb (HC) structures) with opening access scaled down to only 120 nm. After device fabrication, IDS-VBG transfer and IDS-VDS output characteristics show a conventional n-type FET behavior with an ION/IOFF value higher than 105, as well as an increase of threshold voltage as the NW width is reduced. Then, using a capacitive coupling in our dually-gated Si bioFETs, the pH sensitivity is enhanced with a pH response up to 600 mV/pH. Finally, we successfully detected an increase of threshold voltage of n-type silicon nanowires (SiNWs) due to hybridized target DNA molecules.
The Effect of User Adaptation on the Effec- tive Use of Enterprise Systems Research-in-Progress

Most of the cost of information system implementation projects is attributable to the post-adaptation phase. Thus, an effective use of the implemented system is necessary to justify the expense. It has been theorized that user adaptation can help to increase the level of effective use of a system. Changes to an enterprise system or to the individual’s tasks with an enterprise system are likely to trigger user adaptation. Yet the effect of user adaptation on effective use of an enterprise system is still widely unknown. We conducted a longitudinal case study to explore the phenomenon and develop a research model to measure the effect of user adaptation on the effective use of an enterprise system. The extension of the nomological network of the concept of effective use by an integration of the effect of user adaptation will be the main contribution of our research.
Strategizing for Mobile Learning: A Holistic Approach for Designing Mobile Learning

Mobile learning provides unique learning experiences for learners in both formal and informal environments, supporting various pedagogies with the unique characteristics that are afforded by mobile technology. Mobile learning, as a growing topic of interest, brings challenges of design for teachers and course designers alike. Current research on mobile learning has covered various aspects such as personalization, context sensitivity, ubiquity and pedagogy. While existing theories and findings are valuable to the understanding of mobile learning, they are fragmented and separate, and need to be understood within the broader mobile learning paradigm. This paper unifies existing theories into a method for mobile learning design that can be generalized across mobile learning applications. This method develops from a strategy: by seeking objectives, identifying different approaches to learning and understanding the context in which the course will exist. The method helps to guide the content, delivery and structure of the course towards a successful implementation that is evaluated against the initial objectives set out. This paper brings to light the need for more guiding literature that assists teachers in applying the theory around mobile devices and the method proposed is a step in this direction.

Comparative Evaluation of Juices from Red-Fleshed Apples after Production with Different Dejuicing Systems and Subsequent Storage

In this work, two vintages (2019 and 2020) of red-fleshed ‘Weirouge’ apples were processed with the innovative spiral filter press technology to investigate juice production in an oxygen-reduced atmosphere. After pressing, a more brilliant red color and appreciably higher amounts of oxidation-sensitive constituents (ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, and colorless (poly)phenols) were seen in spiral filter pressed juices compared to those produced with conventional systems (horizontal filter press and decanter). In a subsequent stability study (24 weeks storage at 4, 20, and 37 °C), the color and phenolic compounds were monitored and differences in the juices produced with the different pressing-systems were widely maintained during the storage period. The analyses of the anthocyanins and colorless (poly)phenols were conducted by UHPLC-DAD-ESI-QTOF-HR-MS/MS and UHPLC-DAD. The spiral filter press emerged as a promising technology for the production of juices with a more attractive color and a better retention of oxidation-sensitive constituents during processing and storage compared to conventional juices.
Analysis of Fire Spread Prevention Measures in ETICS and Their Influence on Durability

In recent years, the external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) has been applied increasingly in a lot of buildings for energy conservation purposes. However, the increased use of different combustible insulation materials in the ETICS has raised serious fire safety problems. Fires involving this type of ETICS have caused severe damage and loss. Often, the fire spread depends on the thermal material of ETICS. Products of polymeric foams or inorganic fibrous material are commonly used. Practice and case studies of researchers show that involved expanded polystyrene is the most dangerous case of the fire spread. Therefore, it is important to choose the right material. In order to limit fire spread and improve fire safety, fire barriers from were suggested being installed. These measures may include the installation of a non-combustible lintel above each opening in the facade (windows, doors) to prevent flames penetrating the insulating material. Additionally, firestop barriers can be installed horizontally over the entire facade. The fire barriers have to be made of non-combustible materials, such as mineral wool, and are required on every alternate floor in buildings. Energy renovation is a great chance to increase fire safety in buildings. Therefore, the requirements of additional fire safety and prevention are different in Europe. Currently, there are not much data available on the behaviour of different insulation materials (expanded polystyrene and mineral wool) in ETICS and their relevant characteristics during operating life and ETICS durability time. This paper cites the requirements of additional fire prevention in different European countries. Analysis of the physical properties (vapour resistance, thermal transmittance, water absorption and etc.) of the expanded polystyrene and mineral wool products of is presented. This article presents an investigation of Thermo vision of building, which was renovated three years ago and has implemented fire barriers.DOI: http://dx.doi. org/10.5755/j01.sace. 17.4. 16140
Heterologous Expression of Jatropha curcas Fatty Acyl-ACP Thioesterase A (JcFATA) and B (JcFATB) Affects Fatty Acid Accumulation and Promotes Plant Growth and Development in Arabidopsis

Plant fatty acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterases terminate the process of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in plastids by hydrolyzing the acyl-ACP intermediates, and determine the chain length and levels of free fatty acids. They are of interest due to their roles in fatty acid synthesis and their potential to modify plant seed oils through biotechnology. Fatty acyl-ACP thioesterases (FAT) are divided into two families, i.e., FATA and FATB, according to their amino acid sequence and substrate specificity. The high oil content in Jatropha curcas L. seed has attracted global attention due to its potential for the production of biodiesel. However, the detailed effects of JcFATA and JcFATB on fatty acid biosynthesis and plant growth and development are still unclear. In this study, we found that JcFATB transcripts were detected in all tissues and organs examined, with especially high accumulation in the roots, leaves, flowers, and some stages of developing seeds, and JcFATA showed a very similar expression pattern. Subcellular localization of the JcFATA-GFP and JcFATB-GFP fusion protein in Arabidopsis leaf protoplasts showed that both JcFATA and JcFATB localized in chloroplasts. Heterologous expression of JcFATA and JcFATB in Arabidopsis thaliana individually generated transgenic plants with longer roots, stems and siliques, larger rosette leaves, and bigger seeds compared with those of the wild type, indicating the overall promotion effects of JcFATA and JcFATB on plant growth and development while JcFATB had a larger impact. Compositional analysis of seed oil revealed that all fatty acids except 22:0 were significantly increased in the mature seeds of JcFATA-transgenic Arabidopsis lines, especially unsaturated fatty acids, such as the predominant fatty acids of seed oil, 18:1, 18:2, and 18:3. In the mature seeds of the JcFATB-transgenic Arabidopsis lines, most fatty acids were increased compared with those in wild type too, especially saturated fatty acids, such as 16:0, 18:0, 20:0, and 22:0. Our results demonstrated the promotion effect of JcFATA and JcFATB on plant growth and development, and their possible utilization to modify the seed oil composition and content in higher plants.
The Impact of Curcumin on the Inflammatory Profile of SW982 Cells in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Model

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most prevalent autoimmune diseases, affecting approximately 1% of the total global population. Curcumin, a natural polyphenol is a substance that could potentially mitigate the course of this disease. To evaluate curcumin's anti-inflammatory impact on synoviocytes in the RA model, a set of experiments was conducted on SW982 cells, stimulated by IL-1β, IL-6, or TNF-α to emulate inflammation. During the research, the curcumin effect was evaluated by measuring cell survivability, expression of MMP1 gene, subcellular localization of P70S6K1 protein, and its phosphorylated form and amount of produced IL-6 and TNF-α. Results of conducted experiments presented a positive impact of curcumin on synoviocytes in the RA model, by reducing SW982 cells' survivability, decreasing levels of MMP1 gene expression and TNF-α protein production, which altogether confirm beneficial effects of the curcumin therapy in a RA in vitro model.
