description: In clinical ophthalmology there is an urgent need for a syringe-deployable device capable of sustained delivery of therapeutics to the back of the eye. Eye drops and intraocular injections have been employed for decades and remain mainstays for localized delivery of ocular medications. Unfortunately, eye drops are ineffective for treating diseases affecting the back of the eye, and injections suffer from limitations in terms of patient compliance, discomfort, risk and inconvenience, as well as limited drug utilization and frequent repeated administration. Our technology seeks to address these limitations and provide a means for long term drug delivery to the eye. Our interdisciplinary team has designed and fabricated prototype nanoporous thin-film devices capable of delivering drugs over extended periods. A nanostructured membrane allows these devices to provide controlled release of drug over extended periods of time. Our devices are constructed from a flexible biodegradable thin-film capable of minimally invasive implantation, and nanopores provide controlled therapeutic release for several months in the eye. While we have made significant progress demonstrating our technology with model therapeutics, optimizing performance for a specific therapy and validating our devices in animal models will be essential in our efforts to commercialize this technology. To this end, our efforts have focused on the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). An estimated 200,000 AMD patients in the US receive the ocular therapeutic Lucentis each year, requiring monthly intraocular injections. Our devices have the potential to significantly enhance this treatment by extending the duration between injections and more effectively utilizing delivered drug. With our devices, we envision a patient will receive two injection procedures per year, which greatly reduces burden on both patient and physician: for patients this corresponds to an estimated cost savings up to $15,000 per year of treatment. This technology fulfills an unmet clinical need and promises to be a revolutionary advance over any other delivery technology currently available or under development. With the capacity to demonstrate these devices in animal models, this technology will become increasingly viable for commercialization. We believe our devices are poised to improve AMD disease outcomes, and we predict follow-on applications of this technology as it is applied to other therapies.

description: An 80 years old electronic sensor remains the key element of radiation detectors in some very important applications: - Medical Tomography (gamma cameras, PET, SPECT scanners), - Homeland Security (detectors of nuclear materials), - Physics Research (detectors of neutrinos, cosmic rays and dark matter; in mines, oceans, Antarctic ice). That sensor, the photomultiper tube (PMT), resembles an Edison light bulb, but with a multitude of 20 wires sticking out of each, and a network of about 100 metallic elements that dominate its evacuated interior. PMTs function as pixels, and are needed by thousands in each detector or scanner. They are the leading cost-driver and performance-limiter in all applications. The low productivity (labor-intensive manufacture) had forced the largest producer Photonis from France to close its production plant in 2009. To replace PMTs with inexpensive modern devices, Prof. Daniel Ferenc (PI) has developed a novel sensor called ABALONE, whose core comprises only three simple glass elements. This revolutionary metal-free composition allows mass-production in a continuous assembly line, similar to (but much simpler than) factories of modern flat-panel TV screens, tablets, and many semiconductor devices. With three research grants for high-energy physics and nuclear nonproliferation, Prof. Ferenc has developed an innovative $5 M research facility at UC Davis, partly based on equipment acquired from Candescent, the pioneer of the field-emission TV technology. Four patent-protected inventions have emerged and the prototype of the ABALONE factory—the “ABALONE Photosensor Pilot Production Plant” (A4P)—has recently been completed and successfully tested. So far, our R&D effort has been focused exclusively on the production technology, IP protection and on the formation of the initial network of research partners, suppliers, and some of the markets. In the following step, we need to bridge a critical gap from research to commercial development, by producing and evaluating a representative set of fully functional Abalone prototypes, specially tailored to each of the three major markets. No other funding is currently available for this effort, so our intention is to bridge that gap with POC. Successful completion will allow us to proceed with the formation of the startup company (ReFerence Photonlab) in California, searching for investors, and expanding partnerships with researchers and industrial suppliers, and federal agencies.

Solar Absorbers with Ultra-high Performance Selective Coating

description: Solar thermal systems,such as solar hot water panel and concentrated solar power plants, commonly use solar absorbers to convert sunlight into heat. In order to enhance the solar absorption and reduce the heat loss by blackbody thermal emission, spectrally selective coating (SSC) with very high absorptance in the solar spectrum and very low emittance in the infrared (IR) spectrum is critically needed. Traditional ways of making the SSC materials are usually expensive (such as vacuum deposition or chemical vapor deposition), and do not yield materials with high performance. Our invention, based on a low cost and high yield nanoparticle manufacturing process, has shown superior optical properties of the new SSC materials. Specifically, we have achieved > 94% absorptance in the solar spectrum and less than 4% emittance in the IR range, which surpasses the state-of-the-art SSC technologies by a large margin. The superior performance is attributed to the unique nano-size. Moreover, our process simply applies the 'paints' containing nanoparticles onto absorber substrates, showing the potential for high volume manufacturing. We have also shown other coating processes including spin coating and dip coating. In this proof-of-concept study, we propose to construct and test prototype solar absorbers coated with the newly developed SSC. The prototype solar absorbers will be made by coating stainless steel tubes with the new SSC. Heat transfer fluids (e.g.,water and molten salts) will be flowing inside the tubes. The absorbers will be tested under concentrated sunlight (for concentrated solar power application),or under direct solar irradiation (for flat-panel solar water heating systems). Optical and thermal properties including fluid temperature and thermal efficiency will be measured to show the superior properties of the absorbers.

description: The ever-decreasing device size due to the Moore’s Law leads to growing soft errors, which reduce the mean-time-to-failures (MTTF) for FPGA-based systems. For many years, the industry has been searching for a solution to improve MTTF by 40% with little overhead on design closure and price. The PI (principal investigator) has invented the IPX techniques, which enable over 4x MTTF improvements with no overhead on design closure and price. The PI has secured extensive support from key players of the FPGA eco-system to commercialize IPX, and is asking the support of two engineer-years to build the foundation for a start-up. It is expected that there will be an almost immediate technology adoption by high-profiled FPGA users such as Cisco and JPL and a potentially quick acquisition by a major FPGA vendor for 20x return on investment.

description: We propose to work on power-efficient hardware technology for Rapiscan imaging systems. Our team has extensive expertise in digital circuit and architecture design, parallel data architectures, and supporting CAD flows. The capabilities of our design environment include circuit optimization by using gate size, supply and threshold voltage; automated wordlength reduction for an algorithm; automated architecture exploration; and hardware support for ASIC and FPGA targets. The high-level design description allows us to quickly explore many design alternatives and come up with FPGA emulation prototypes. Our prior work included mapping of parallel algorithms for communication and healthcare applications onto power-efficient digital chips. Our designs achieve both high complexity (100 GOPS or real-time performance) and very low power (5 GOPS/mW). Using these capabilities, we propose to explore hardware solutions for imaging algorithms that require parallel data streams. FPGA-based platforms such as BEE3/4 (from BEEcube, Inc.) that consist of four Virtex-5/6 chips will be used for hardware emulation and to guide algorithm development. This scalable solution is attractive for larger-scale system requiring more channels of data processing capability. We will also consider custom architectures for image data processing. Our chips will be compatible with the BEE platform to allow seamless transition into practical use.

description: Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine condition and a primary contributor to infertility in women of reproductive age. Clomiphene citrate (CC) serves as a primary intervention for ovulation induction; yet, its effectiveness may be constrained in certain cases.Objectives: To compare the outcome of ovulation induction in clomiphene citrate (CC) alone and combined treatment with CC and pioglitazone in terms of mean maximum follicle size among infertile women with PCOS.Material and Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department, DHQ Teaching Hospital Rawalpindi, from August 2024 to February 2025.A total of 274 married women with PCOS and infertility were enrolled and randomized into two groups: Group A (CC alone, n=137) and Group B (CC + pioglitazone, n=137). Ultrasonographic folliculometry was performeduntil mature follicles were detected. Inj.hCG (10,000 IU) was given intramuscularly when at least one follicle ≥18 mm was formed in either ovary.Mean maximum follicle size was recorded over three menstrual cycles. Data were analyzed using SPSS.Results: The mean maximum follicle size was significantly larger in Group B (21.48 ± 2.26 mm) compared to Group A (18.53 ± 3.31 mm, p<0.001). Subgroup analyses confirmed the superiority of the combined treatment across age, BMI, residential status, duration of marriage, and type of infertility.Conclusion:The combination of pioglitazone withCC markedly improves follicular development in infertile patients with PCOS. This combination provides a relativelyeconomical and attainable treatment approach, especially advantageous for resource-constrained environments. Additional research is required to assess long-term effects and safety profiles.Keywords: PCOS, Infertility, Follicle Size, Ovulation, Clomiphene Citrate, Pioglitazone

Life of Rabban Hormizd and the foundation of his Monastery at Al-Kosh
Creators: name: Sergius, Wahle
name: Budge, E.A.Wallis (Ernest Alfred Wallis)
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1894

description: The monastery of Rabban Hormizd located in modern-day Iraq is an important site first for the Assyrian Church of the East and now for the Catholic Chaldean Church. The monastery is named after its founder, Rabban Hormizd, who was a seventh century monk from Persia. There are two accounts of the life of Rabban Hormizd, one prose and the other poetic. In the present work, E. A. Wallis Budge presents the Syriac text of the latter of these two works: a metrical work that recounts the life of Rabban Hormizd and details the origins of the monastery. The work is also an acrostic poem with twenty two sections corresponding to the letters of the Syriac alphabet. However, this is not a traditional acrostic: in this work, each line ends, rather than begins, with the same letter. This style frequently results in interesting orthographic variations, but it is also evidence of a vast knowledge of the Syriac language and remarkable creativity in the application of that knowledge. The text is accompanied by a brief introduction and a critical apparatus that notes many glosses included in the manuscript.
Ocean County Concept Plan

description: This report provides a land use framework for Ocean County's 208 water quality management program. The Concept Plan is based on an analysis of (i) the natural features of the county, (ii) the current development pattern, and (iii) regional factors which have a developmental influence on the County. A thorough consideration of natural features was considered particularly important because these are the very features which have made the County the fastest growing county in the State. The environmental implications of the inter-relationships between natural features and land development were also considered in terms of both air quality and water quality. The Concept Plan presented in this report is based in part on a synthesis of many studies prepared by the Ocean County Planning Board, as well as several important regional studies. Additionally, a comprehensive listing of County goals and objectives provided a structure within which three alternative conceptual plans could be developed. These three alternatives assumed a single year 2000 population (630,000 persons) for the County, but several distributive patterns were assumed: (i) Trends, (ii) Bi-Nodal, and (iii) Satellite.Each of the alternatives were reviewed and the advantages, disadvantages and environmental implications of each were considered. Based on this evaluation, the preferred Concept Plan evolved.

description: According to the literature, the incidence of gestational pyelonephritis (GP) is 5-10%, while the development of the disease increases the risk of intrauterine infection and miscarriage (Styazhkina S.N. et al., 2015). The study of the interaction between gestational pyelonephritis and pregnancy is relevant due to the high percentage of obstetric complications, negative perinatal outcomes and severe diseases in newborns, which emphasizes the medical and socio-economic significance of the problem. In chronic pyelonephritis, pregnancy is complicated by iron deficiency anemia (35-70%), premature termination of pregnancy at various stages (15-20%), chronic placental insufficiency (30-35%), preeclampsia (35-70%). 30-40% causes complications such as chronic uterine hypoxia (30-40%), fetal infection (20-30%) and growth retardation (12-15%). In chronic pyelonephritis, the ability of pregnant women to adapt to newborns is significantly impaired and the risk of early neonatal death increases.

Year: 2010

description: The current Environmental Assessment analyzed the effects of the proposed Atlantic sturgeon research, which will be conducted in the Delaware River and estuary and the Connecticut River and adjacent to Long Island Sound. Specifically, the proposed work would involve identification and assessment of spawning and other habitats for both sturgeon species in the Delaware River; analysis of the distribution and habitat use of juvenile Atlantic sturgeon in Delaware and New Jersey; analysis of the abundance, distribution, and habitat use of both species in Connecticut water, analysis of interbasin exchange rates of adult Atlantic sturgeon, development of an Atlantic Coast telemetry database, and participation in multiple types of stakeholder outreach efforts. Such data and information sharing is critical for recovery planning, and in particular, for identifying appropriate management units and critical habitats. The proposed action would not have significant environmental effects on the target or non-target species. The permit would contain mitigating measures to avoid unnecessary stress to the subject animals.

description: It is apparent that the regulation of signaling by the protein IL-33 is of central importance in septic shock; autoimmune diseases and some cancers. Yet, little is known about the molecular requirements for signaling. The goals of this proposal are to develop methods for understanding the receptor binding and signal transmission by analyzing the protein-protein interactions involving IL-33 and exploring the conformational changes that accompany receptor binding. This information will provide the foundation for the possible development of novel modulators of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.

Fish health and contamination study
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1988

description: A study of fish health (pathology) and fish tissue taxies was conducted in the October 1986 to December 1987 period. Target fish (catfish family and white perch) were collected at ten locations in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the Delaware Estuary. Individual fish and composites of fish were examined for general health, pathogens, tumors and lesions, parasites, specific enzymatic compounds, and organic and inorganic toxics. The results of the study indicate that, while generally healthy, fish in the Delaware Estuary show the affect of various environmental stresses and have accumulated various toxic compounds in their tissue. Circumstantial evidence suggests that some toxic compounds are causing fish health problems in selected individuals or species. PCB concentrations were high enough in channel catfish to question their edibility from a human health viewpoint. Chlordane was found with PCBs but not quantified. DDT metabolites were also identified in every fish tissue sample but values did not exceed FDA Action Levels. Recommendations include the need for a systematic approach for identifying fish contamination problems and follow up studies.

Organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells via electropolymerization

description: Integrating polymers with inorganic nanostructures is difficult due to wetting and surface energy considerations. We developed an electropolymerization method to grow conformal polymers on high aspect ratio nanostructures. Our method is shown to improve the polymer filling rate inside the nanostructures and can be used in the development of efficient hybrid solar cells. As an example, we have studied the hybrid system of electropolymerized polythiophene (e-PT) on a variety of conductive (Au and ITO) and semiconductive substrates (Si, Ge, ZnO). In particular, e-PT/ZnO hybrid structure can be further developed into organic photovoltaics (OPV). Although unsubstituted PT is not the ideal polymer material for high efficiency solar cells, it is an excellent choice for studying basic bonding and morphology in hybrid structures. We find that e-PT is covalently bound to the polar ZnO planar substrate via a Zn-S bond, adopting an upright geometry. By contrast, no strong covalent bonding was observed between e-PT and ZnO nanorods that consist of non-polar ZnO surfaces predominantly.     Energy level alignment at interfaces is critical for fundamental understanding and optimization of OPV as band offsets of the donor and acceptor materials largely determine the open circuit voltage (Voc) of the device. Using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) and inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPS), we examined the correlation between energy alignment and photovoltaic properties of a model hybrid solar cell structure incorporating undoped electrodeposited polythiophene (e-PT) films on ZnO planar substrates. The electrolyte anion (BF4-, PF6-, ClO4- or CF3SO3-) used in the electrodeposition solution was found to exert a strong influence on the neutral e-PT film morphology and adhesion, the band alignment at the interface, and ultimately the photovoltaic behavior. The interfacial dipole lowers polythiophene energy levels, increasing the theoretical and actual Voc in polythiophene/ZnO photovoltaics.    Our electropolymerization approach to integrate the organic and inorganic phases aims at understanding the chemistry at the interface, and the electronic and morphological properties of the system. This work should be generally applicable to other conjugated polymers and nanostructures, and it contributes to an understanding of organic-inorganic interfaces and electronic structures that may be advantageous to a range of electronic/photonic applications.

description: This Final Restoration Plan (RP)/Environmental Assessment (EA) describes the process by which the project partners, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), US Army  Corps of Engineers, NY District (ACOE), NJ Department of Environmental Protection, the Hudson County Department of Parks and Recreation (HCDPR) and others, identified and evaluated alternatives to restore intertidal wetlands and associated habitats in an area of Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey that is referred to as the Lincoln Park West Wetland Restoration Project (LPWWRP). Working under the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and New Jersey state environmental laws, the project partners considered three restoration alternatives to produce the desired water quality and habitat benefits at the Project Area. The preferred alternative restores approximately 34 acres of estuarine wetlands and open water habitats, including open water/mudflat, high marsh, low marsh, and scrub-shrub communities.

description: Ethernet based networking is enabling technology for future communications. Networking technologies are rapidly advancing from Gbps to >10Gbps regime. Future networking technologies may reach to 40Gbps and beyond. ESD protection quickly emerges as the most challenging reliability problem for >Gbps networking systems. The inevitable parasitics associated with ESD protection can seriously affect data rates at >Gbps nodes. Collaborating with CISCO, we propose to investigate impacts of advanced ESD protection on future networking systems up to 40Gbps and beyond. Theoretical limits and quantitative design matrix between ESD protection and 40Gbps networks will be studied.
RADIATION DOSE REDUCTION IN X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

description: Since its inception in the 1970s, x-ray computed tomography (CT) has become a revolutionary medical tool in diagnosis of diseases and visualization of critical interventional procedures. However, a major concern in CT is the unavoidable radiation dose delivered to the patient, especially to the more radiosensitive population such as pediatrics. According to recent studies, the number of CT examinations performed in the US has risen from approximately 3 million in 1980 to about 72 million in 2007, and CT has now become the leading source of medical radiation to the US population – including Californians. Some authors argued that approximately 29,000 future cancers could be attributed to CT scans performed in the US in 2007. As the number of CT examinations continues to increase from the 2007 level, the radiation dose in CT and its potential for the increase in radiation-induced cancers have become a public health issue. To alleviate this problem, we proposed in 2008 to reduce CT dose by using a novel imaging technique, termed Equally-Sloped Tomography (EST), which was funded by a UC Discovery grant. Over the past two and half years, we have performed tomographic reconstructions of phantom and anonymous pediatric patient data sets. Our results indicate that EST can reduce the radiation dose by about 70% without sacrificing the image quality, contrast and resolution. Building upon these successes, in this one-year competitive renewal proposal we propose to apply the EST method to modern clinical CT scanners for significant radiation dose reduction. The success of this proposal will form a foundation upon which the clinical application of low-dose CT can be launched, allowing for reduction of the potential cancer risks associated with CT.

Year: 2012

description: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to issue Scientific Research Permits for takes of marine mammals and sea turtles in the wild pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 and the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Both permits would be valid for five years from the date of issuance. Takes authorized under Permit No. 16109 would facilitate data collection that would help to provide a baseline of presence, distribution, abundance, movement patterns, and behavior of marine mammal and sea turtle species in nearshore waters (shoreline to the 30 m isobath) between southern New Jersey and the Virginia/North Carolina border. Takes authorized under Permit No. 15575 would facilitate data collection that would help to assess seasonal abundance and distribution of the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) and other protected marine mammals and sea turtles in the Mid Atlantic waters. Activities would include aerial surveys and vessel surveys for behavioral observations, photo-identification. photography, and videography.
