Monolithically integrated MEMS resonators and oscillators in standard IC technology

Frequency sources and high quality filters based on mechanical resonators are essential building blocks for communication systems as well as analog and digital electronics. Driven by the continuous demand for reduction in power, size and overall cost, monolithic integration of mechanical resonators in standard integrated circuit (IC) technology has been the focus of multiple research efforts. Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEM) resonators offer an ultimate solution, with 100× higher quality factors and 104× smaller footprint, when compared to on-chip LC tank circuits. A new class of truly solid-state, monolithically integrated, GHz-frequencies CMOSMEMS resonators is presented. No post-processing or special packaging of any kind is required beyond the standard CMOS process. Resonant body transistor (RBT) is constructed by using active field-effect-transistor (FET) sensing. A phononic crystal (PnC) implemented in the CMOS back-end-of-line (BEOL) layers along with the bulk wafer are used to create a phononic waveguide. The latter confines acoustic vibrations in the CMOS front-end-of-line (FEOL) layers. Operator-theoretic analysis for these waveguides is presented in explicit analogy to quantum mechanics and photonic waveguides; with a study of perturbation theory, coupled-mode theory and adiabatic theorem. Superior energy confinement is achieved, allowing record high Q ∼ 14, 800 and f◦ ·Q ∼ 4.85× 1013 for CMOS-RBTs at 3GHz. Simulation, modeling, optimization, prototyping and testing of these resonators is presented. RBTs in FinFET technologies are also exploerd, for resonance frequencies up to 33GHz. The thesis also explores the integration of Lamb-mode resonators in standard GaN monolithic-microwave-IC (MMIC) process. The first monolithic 1GHz MEMS-based oscillator in standard GaN MMIC technology is demonstrated, together with monolithic lattice and ladder filters. This allows for complete RF front-ends in GaN MMIC technology. Thesis Supervisor: Dana Weinstein Title: Associate Professor Thesis Supervisor: Luca Daniel Title: Professor

SymDrive: Who Needs a Device to Test a Driver?

Device-driver development and testing is a complex and error-prone undertaking. For example, a single driver may support dozens of devices, and a developer may not have access to any of them. As a result, many Linux driver patches include the comment “compile tested only. ” Furthermore, testing error-handling code is difficult, as it requires faulty inputs from the device. SymDrive is a system for testing Linux and FreeBSD drivers without their devices. The system uses symbolic execution to remove the need for hardware, and provides three new features beyond prior symbolic-testing tools. First, SymDrive greatly reduces the effort of testing a new driver with a static-analysis and source-to-source transformation tool. Second, SymDrive allows checkers to be written as ordinary C and execute in the kernel, where they have full access to kernel and driver state. Finally, SymDrive provides an execution-tracing tool to identify how a patch changes I/O to the device and to compare device driver implementations. In applying SymDrive to 21 Linux drivers and 5 FreeBSD drivers, we found 39 bugs.
Biometeorological aspects of conception rate in cattle

The vulnerability of animal production to Thermal Humidity Index (THI) has hardly been documented in India and hence one study on climate and weather on the conception rate of cattle was conducted at Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. In the study, meteorological data (2000 to 2010) were collected from agrometeorological Observatory, Pantnagar and were used to compute six different types of Thermal Humidity Index by giving different weightage to dry bulb temperature and humidity. The relationship between Thermal Humidity Index and overall conception rate of animal was established to select the most appropriate THI for practical application.
AI in Public: The Effects of Technology Bias, Fears of Public Surveillance, and Moral Tradeoffs on Privacy Concerns

Applications of AI in public surveillance contexts fuel polemics among consumers and public policy makers alike. In two experimental studies, we explore the mechanisms that affect citizens’ attitudes towards government surveillance technologies. In Study 1, we show that the privacy and surveillance concerns are reduced when government (vs. firm) owns the data. Moreover, the fear of technology biases moderates the relationship between privacy concerns and willingness to adopt. In Study 2, we analyze the potential of anonymization of data collection to remedy the perceived privacy concerns. We find that the effect of anonymization of data collection on the willingness to support government surveillance technology goes through two parallel antecedents of privacy concerns: a reduction in perceived government intrusiveness and an increase in the perceived fairness and justice. Reduced privacy concerns ultimately increase the perceived usefulness of technological solution and increase the willingness to adopt.
Small Worlds in Networks of Inventors and the Role of Academics: An Analysis of France

Using data on patent applications at the European Patent Office, we examine the structural properties of networks of inventors in France in different technologies. We find that the higher the presence of inventors from universities and public research organizations (PROs), the more likely the networks are to exhibit small world properties. University and PRO inventors contribute to reduce average path length insofar they are more mobile (across applicants) than other inventors, thus linking up otherwise disconnected cliques. We achieve these results by implementing an original methodology for detecting small world properties in one-mode projections of two-mode graphs.
A Review on Hybrid Optical Amplifiers

Abstract The implementation of hybrid optical amplifiers has led to the emergence of DWDM in optical communication systems. By implementation of hybrid optical amplifiers, the performance of DWDM transmission can be enhanced. In this paper, different configurations of hybrid optical amplifiers are discussed which can be implemented at low cost and efficient performance of DWDM transmission system. Optical amplifiers can be used in different hybrid configurations to enhance the performance of the optical link and minimize the limitations of existing amplifiers.

ENDOCRINOLOGÍA Y NUTRICIÓN ¿Por qué plantear el tratamiento con liraglutida en los pacientes con diabetes tipo 2?

efectos be neiciosos sobre diversos factores de riesgo cardiovascular. El análisis retrospectivo de episodios cardiovasculares graves en los estudios de fases II-III ha mostrado una incidencia de 0,73 (inter-valo de conianza del 95%, 0,38‑1,41) frente al comparador. En consecuencia, liraglutida se conirma como una alternativa muy atractiva a combinar tras el fracaso de metformina, incluso frente a la insulinización, en cualquier estadio del tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 2. Abstract Liraglutide is a GLP‑1 receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This drug has an excellent efficacy/safety profile and differential properties, as well as beneicial effects on several parameters of beta cell function (proinsulin ratio: insulin, HOMA‑B, irst and second insulin secretion phase and maximum insulin secretion, HOMA‑IR) that equal or surpass those of its comparators. When added to monotherapy or in oral antidiabetic drug 0.38‑1.41) versus its comparator. These data conirm liraglutide as a highly attractive alternative in combination therapy after metformin failure, even compared with insulin therapy, at any stage of the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Apply Six Sigma Quality Management to Assess the Quality Performance of Clinical Laboratory and Design Quality Control

Objective: Apply sigma metrics to assess the performance of clinical laboratory, then find problems and promote quality improvement. Method: we collected data of imprecision and inaccuracy from routine internal quality control and proficiency test of College of American pathologists (CAP) respectively. Then we calculated sigma metrics which reflect the performance of examinatorial process with equation, and designed quality control strategy. In addition, we calculated quality goal index for analysis with sigma metrics below 6 to find problem. Result: Sigma metrics of 60% analysis are above four, the average sigma metric of all analysis is 4.44. The main problem of analysis which are below 6sigma is their bad imprecision. Conclusion: The examinatorial process still needs more intensive and individualized quality control than the CLIA minimum requirement of two levels per day.

Wall in Acute Kawasaki Disease Oligoclonal IgA Response in the Vascular

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a potentially fatal acute vasculitis of childhood. Although KD is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in developed nations, its pathogenesis remains unknown. We previously reported the novel observation that IgA plasma cells inﬁltrate the vascular wall in acute KD. We have now examined the clonality of this IgA response in vascular tissue from three fatal cases of KD to determine whether it is oligoclonal, suggesting an Ag-driven process, or polyclonal, suggesting nonspeciﬁc B cell activation or a response to a superantigen. We ﬁrst sequenced VDJ junctions of 44 a genes isolated from a primary, unampliﬁed KD vascular cDNA library. Five sets of clonally related a sequences were identiﬁed, comprising 34% (15 of 44) of the isolated a sequences. Furthermore, point mutations consistent with somatic mutation were detected in the related sequences. Next, using formalin-ﬁxed coronary arteries from two additional fatal KD cases, we sequenced VDJ junctions of a genes isolated by RT-PCR, and a restricted pattern of CDR3 usage was observed in both. We conclude that the vascular IgA response in acute KD is oligoclonal. The identiﬁcation of an oligoclonal IgA response in KD strongly suggests that the immune response to this important childhood illness is Ag-driven. The Journal of Immunology, 2001, 166: 1334–1343.
University lecturers’ constructions of undergraduate writing : a gender analysis

This project is situated in the context of debates about gender and achievement at university, where men are still proportionately more likely to achieve first class degrees and more likely also to achieve third class degrees (Francis et al, 2001). Women are now obtaining more first degrees overall than men and (if first and upper second results are added together) more ‘good’ degrees than men, with all subjects being taken together.
a ringed as a dg-enhancement of the derived category of perfect complexes.

The derived categories of perfect complexes and pseudo-coherent complexes on a scheme X were introduced in [P. Berthelot (ed.) et al., Séminaire de géométrie algébrique du Bois Marie 1966/67, SGA 6. Dirigé par P. Berthelot, A. Grothendieck et L. Illusie, Avec la collaboration de D. Ferrand, J. P. Jouanolou, O. Jussilia, S. Kleiman, M. Raynaud et J. P. Serre. Théorie des intersections et théorème de Riemann-Roch. Berlin-Heidelberg-New York: Springer-Verlag (1971; Zbl 0218.14001)] and they are a fundamental object of study in modern algebraic geometry. For an affine scheme X = Spec(R), the derived category of perfect complexes is identified with the localization of the category of perfect complexes of R-modules at the class of quasi-isomorphisms of complexes.
Vasospasm-induced ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in a premenopausal woman with endothelial dysfunction

Abstract ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can be caused by coronary artery vasospasm (VSA) due to endothelial dysfunction. However, the clinical role of endothelial function tests in VSA-induced STEMI is not fully understood. We present the case of a 43-year-old woman with atypical chest pain and no coronary risk factors. STEMI caused by VSA was diagnosed. Flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) and EndPAT tests were performed; the FMD and reactive hyperaemia index were 3.8% and 1.23, respectively. Endothelial dysfunction is the putative cause of STEMI. FMD and EndPAT tests might be useful for predicting adverse outcomes in young premenopausal women with VSA.
Functional analysis of human olfactory receptors with a high basal activity using LNCaP cell line

Humans use a family of more than 400 olfactory receptors (ORs) to detect odorants. However, deorphanization of ORs is a critical issue because the functional properties of more than 80% of ORs remain unknown, thus, hampering our understanding of the relationship between receptor function and perception. HEK293 cells are the most commonly used heterologous expression system to determine the function of a given OR; however, they cannot functionally express a majority of ORs probably due to a lack of factor(s) required in cells in which ORs function endogenously. Interestingly, ORs have been known to be expressed in a variety of cells outside the nose and play critical physiological roles. These findings prompted us to test the capacity of cells to functionally express a specific repertoire of ORs. In this study, we selected three cell lines that endogenously express functional ORs. We demonstrated that human prostate carcinoma (LNCaP) cell lines successfully identified novel ligands for ORs that were not recognized when expressed in HEK293 cells. Further experiments suggested that the LNCaP cell line was effective for functional expression of ORs, especially with a high basal activity, which impeded the sensitive detection of ligand-mediated activity of ORs. This report provides an efficient functional assay system for a specific repertoire of ORs that cannot be characterized in current cell systems.
Adaptive plasticity in activity modes and food web stability

Natural ecosystems are comprised of diverse species and their interspecific interactions, in contrast to an ecological theory that predicts the instability of large ecological communities. This apparent gap has led ecologists to explore the mechanisms that allow complex communities to stabilize, even via environmental changes. A standard approach to tackling this complexity-stability problem is starting with a description of the ecological network of species and their interaction links, exemplified by a food web. This traditional description is based on the view that each species is in an active state; that is, each species constantly forages and reproduces. However, in nature, species’ activities can virtually stop when hiding, resting, and diapausing or hibernating, resulting in overlooking another situation where they are inactive. Here I theoretically demonstrate that adaptive phenotypic change in active and inactive modes may be the key to understanding food web dynamics. Accurately switching activity modes can greatly stabilize otherwise unstable communities in which coexistence is impossible, further maintaining strong stabilization, even in a large complex community. I hypothesize that adaptive plastic change in activity modes may play a key role in maintaining ecological communities.
Nano2NGS-Muta: a framework for converting nanopore sequencing data to NGS-liked sequencing data for hotspot mutation detection

Abstract Nanopore sequencing, also known as single-molecule real-time sequencing, is a third/fourth generation sequencing technology that enables deciphering single DNA/RNA molecules without the polymerase chain reaction. Although nanopore sequencing has made significant progress in scientific research and clinical practice, its application has been limited compared with next-generation sequencing (NGS) due to specific design principle and data characteristics, especially in hotspot mutation detection. Therefore, we developed Nano2NGS-Muta as a data analysis framework for hotspot mutation detection based on long reads from nanopore sequencing. Nano2NGS-Muta is characterized by applying nanopore sequencing data to NGS-liked data analysis pipelines. Long reads can be converted into short reads and then processed through existing NGS analysis pipelines in combination with statistical methods for hotspot mutation detection. Nano2NGS-Muta not only effectively avoids false positive/negative results caused by non-random errors and unexpected insertions-deletions (indels) of nanopore sequencing data, improves the detection accuracy of hotspot mutations compared to conventional nanopore sequencing data analysis algorithms but also breaks the barriers of data analysis methods between short-read sequencing and long-read sequencing. We hope Nano2NGS-Muta can serves as a reference method for nanopore sequencing data and promotes higher application scope of nanopore sequencing technology in scientific research and clinical practice.
Miniaturized curved slotted patch antenna over a fractalized EBG ground plane

In this paper, a miniaturized coaxial feed curved-slotted microstrip patch antenna over a fractalized uniplanar compact electromagnetic bandgap (F-UC-EBG) ground plane is proposed and investigated. Compact size is achieved by cutting the curved slots along the orthogonal directions of the patch radiator. The curved-slotted microstrip patch antenna is 38.30% miniaturized as compared with the conventional microstrip patch antenna resonating at 2.38 GHz. Furthermore, the ordinary ground plane of the curved slotted patch antenna is replaced by the F-UC-EBG ground plane. Due to the slow wave phenomenon created in the F-UC-EBG structure and the better impedance matching at the lower frequency further miniaturization and improved performance are obtained. The proposed antenna shows 74.76% miniaturization as compared with the conventional microstrip patch antenna resonating at 1.57 GHz and has 2.61% 10-dB fractional bandwidth, 1.49 dB gain, and 81.59% radiation efficiency. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a low-cost FR4 substrate having an overall volume of 0. 184λ0 × 0. 184λ0 × 0. 0236λ0 at 1.57 GHz GPS band. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement and predicting appropriateness of the antenna in portable and handheld communication systems for GPS applications.
Development and evaluation of infrastructure strategies for safer cycling.

This study investigated driver behavior towards four common bicycle-accommodating surface treatments: bike lanes, sharrows, bike boxes, and merge lanes. The overall purpose of these surfacepainted bicycle treatments is to bring awareness of cyclists to drivers on shared roadways. The presence of these treatments should instruct drivers to expect cyclists and to adjust their driving behavior accordingly.
