Deterministic protocol for mapping a qubit to coherent state superpositions in a cavity (2013)

We propose and analyze a quantum gate that transfers an arbitrary state of a qubit into a superposition of two quasiorthogonal coherent states of a cavity mode (qcMAP), with opposite phases. This qcMAP gate is based on conditional qubit and cavity operations exploiting the energy-level dispersive shifts in the regime where they are much stronger than the cavity and qubit linewidths. The generation of multicomponent superpositions of quasiorthogonal coherent states, nonlocal entangled states of two resonators, and multiqubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states can be efficiently achieved by this gate.
Oxygen content and disorder in <i>a</i>-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films (1992)

Using results of Raman spectroscopy, it is shown that the transition temperature Tc (R=0) of a-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7−δ thin films strongly depends on the disorder in the oxygen sublattice. Regardless of deposition temperature Td, the films have an oxygen deficiency δ&amp;lt;0.1. However, at low Td, films show Tc≊50 K and a significant disorder in the distribution of chain and/or apex oxygen atoms. Using a template growth procedure we show that, at a sufficiently high Td, the oxygen disorder vanishes and Tc≳80 K, although the crystalline disorder, measured by the width of the (200) x-ray rocking curve, is increasing with Td.
IRON‐FORTIFIED SYRUP BLENDS: PREPARATION, CHARACTERISTICS, APPLICATION (1973)

Stable iron‐containing syrups were developed to provide a liquid iron source that could be conveniently added to foods. Iron‐fortified syrups were prepared by combining either corn syrup or sucrose, or both, with water, heating to boiling, cooling to 180–200°F and blending in an aqueous iron solution. Syrups were all‐sucrose (67% solids); blends of 15% sugar (sucrose) with either regular or high‐conversion corn syrups (75% solids). Iron sources were ferric ammonium citrate, ferrous sulfate, ferric choline citrate and ferrous gluconate at the available iron level of 0.015% (100 mg/pint). These iron‐fortified syrups were stable during storage for 2 months at 120°F, 6 months at 100°F and 1 year at 77° except for combinations of ferrous forms with blends containing either 15% sugar and regular corn syrup or ferrous sulfate in all‐sugar. Although flavor evaluations indicate that iron is readily detectable, iron‐fortified syrups had satisfactory flavors before and after storage. These fortified syrups seem suitable for enrichment of infant formulas
Expression of a Distinctive <i>BCR-ABL</i> Oncogene in Ph <sup>1</sup> -Positive Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) (1988)

The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) is a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 that is found in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a subset of acute lymphocytic leukemia patients (ALL). In CML, this results in the expression of a chimeric 8.5-kilobase BCR-ABL transcript that encodes the P210BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. The Ph1 chromosome in ALL expresses a distinct ABL-derived 7-kilobase messenger RNA that encodes the P185ALL-ABL protein. Since the expression of different oncogene products may play a role in the distinctive presentation of Ph1-positive ALL versus CML, it is necessary to understand the molecular basis for the expression of P185ALL-ABL. Both P210BCR-ABL and P185ALL-ABL are recognized by an antiserum directed to BCR determinants in the amino-terminal region of both proteins. Antisera to BCR determinants proximal to the BCR-ABL junction in CML immunoprecipitated P210BCR-ABL but not P185ALL-ABL. Nucleotide sequence analysis of complementary DNA clones made from RNA from the Ph1-positive ALL SUP-B15 cell line, and S1 nuclease protection analysis confirmed the presence of BCR-ABL chimeric transcripts in Ph1-positive ALL cells. In Ph1-positive ALL, ABL sequences were joined to BCR sequences approximately 1.5 kilobases 5' of the CML junction. P185ALL-ABL represents the product of a BCR-ABL fusion gene in Ph1-positive ALL that is distinct from the BCR-ABL fusion gene of CML.
Hydrocarbons from Methanol (1983)

Abstract The conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons is a remarkable reaction. The mechanism involves C-C bond formation from C1 fragments generated in the presence of certain acidic catalysts and reagents. The precise nature of these reactive C1 species is unknown at present and is the subject of lively debate. The considerable diversity of current opinion will become apparent from the following account.
Plastic microchip electrophoresis for genetic screening: The analysis of polymerase chain reactions products of fragile X (CGG)n alleles (2001)

Clinical screening of abnormal chromosomes associated with fragile X syndrome (FXS) demands a high-throughput method including DNA sizing and detection of the amplified products. This study is to explore the use of polymer microchip electrophoresis for the analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of fragile X (CGG)n alleles to facilitate a fast exclusion test of FXS. The sequences flanking the CGG-repeat of FMR1 gene was amplified by betaine-PCR and the amplified products were desalted and then analyzed by microchips which were fabricated on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrate. The PCR bands with more than six CGG-repeats in difference could be clearly distinguished in less than 3 min by microchip electrophoresis with a separation length of 6 cm. It was found that the signal was greatly enhanced with the use of both covalent (Cy5) and intercalating dye (TORRO-3), which has never been demonstrated before. We tested the method by reanalysis of twelve samples from males and six samples from females. For female samples with less than six repeat differences, Southern blotting method was performed to confirm or exclude the findings from microchips. It was found that the test results from all male and female samples show a 100% correlation between the microchip electrophoresis and the existing methods.

A versatile, SOI BiCMOS technology with complementary lateral BJT's (1992)

A silicon-on-insulator, fully-complementary BiCMOS process has been developed for realizing high-performance circuit operation in the sub-3.3 V power supply regime. Complementary, double-diffused lateral BJTs and fully-overlapped, asymmetrical DDD MOSFETs have been successfully integrated in a 10-mask process by utilizing the process simplifications that are unique to thin-film SOI substrates. The BJTs exhibit the highest lateral current gains reported to date, with h/sub fe/=120 and 225 for the NPN and PNP, respectively. NPN f/sub t/=4.5 GHz was achieved, and f/sub t/>20 GHz is possible with an improved layout. The MOSFETs demonstrate excellent short-channel behavior down to L/sub eff/=0.18 mu m, with T/sub ox/=10 nm. The p+ gate, SOI PMOS device exhibits superior I/sub dsat/ and g/sub msat/. A record propagation delay of 12 ps/stage at V/sub dd/=5 V and 300 K was obtained for the CMOS ring oscillators fabricated in this technology. This demonstrates the performance achievable with a deep-submicron SOI process.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
The Ruticon family of erasable image recording devices (1972)

Ruticons are solid-state cyclic image recording devices. They have a layered structure consisting of a conductive transparent substrate, a thin photoconductive layer a thin deformable elastomer layer, and a deformable electrode such as a conductive liquid, a conductive gas, or a thin flexible metal layer. When an electric field is placed between the conductive substrate and the deformable electrode the elastomer will deform into a surface relief pattern corresponding to the light-intensity distribution of an image focused on the photoconductor. Light modulated by the deformation of the elastomer surface can in turn be converted to an intensity distribution similar to the original image by means of simple optics. Ruticons are expected to find initial applications in image intensification, holographic recording, and optical buffer storage.
Rescue of mutants of the tumor suppressor p53 in cancer cells by a designed peptide (2003)

We designed a series of nine-residue peptides that bound to a defined site on the tumor suppressor p53 and stabilized it against denaturation. To test whether the peptides could act as chaperones and rescue the tumor-suppressing function of oncogenic mutants of p53 in living cells, we treated human tumor cells with the fluorescein-labeled peptide Fl-CDB3 (fluorescent derivative of CDB3). Before treatment, the mutant p53 in the cell was predominantly denatured. Fl-CDB3 was taken up into the cytoplasm and nucleus and induced a substantial up-regulation of wild-type p53 protein and representative mutants. The mutants, His-273 and His-175 p53, adopted the active conformation, with a dramatic decrease in the fraction of denatured protein. In all cases, there was p53-dependent induction of expression of the p53 target genes mdm2, gadd45, and p21, accompanied by p53-dependent partial restoration of apoptosis. Fl-CDB3 sensitized cancer cells that carried wild-type p53 to p53-dependent gamma-radiation-induced apoptosis. Although Fl-CDB3 did not elicit a full biological response, it did bind to and rescue p53 in cells and so can serve as a lead for the development of novel drugs for anticancer therapy.
Subspace-based channel estimation for code division multiple access communication systems (1996)

We consider the estimation of channel parameters for code-division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems operating over channels with either single or multiple propagation paths. The multiuser channel estimation problem is decomposed into a series of single user problems through a subspace-based approach. By exploiting the eigenstructure of the received signal's sample correlation matrix, the observation space can be partitioned into a signal subspace and a noise subspace without prior knowledge of the unknown parameters. The channel estimate is formed by projecting a given user's spreading waveform into the estimated noise subspace and then either minimizing the likelihood or minimizing the Euclidean norm of this projection. Both of these approaches yield algorithms which are near-far resistant and do not require a preamble.
Collaborative augmented reality environments (2000)

In this work, we present a new method for displaying stereo scenes, which speeds up the rendering time of complex geometry. We first discuss a scene splitting strategy, allowing us to partition objects to the distant background or the near foreground. Furthermore, wededuce a computation rule for positioning a cutting plane in the scene.
Robust random cut forest based anomaly detection on streams (2016)

In this paper we focus on the anomaly detection problem for dynamic data streams through the lens of random cut forests. We investigate a robust random cut data structure that can be used as a sketch or synopsis of the input stream. We provide a plausible definition of non-parametric anomalies based on the influence of an unseen point on the remainder of the data, i.e., the externality imposed by that point. We show how the sketch can be efficiently updated in a dynamic data stream. We demonstrate the viability of the algorithm on publicly available real data.
Purification of metallurgical‐grade silicon up to solar grade (2001)

Abstract An estimate has been made of the feasibility of a metallurgical purification process, the NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) melt‐purification process, for manufacturing solar‐grade silicon from metallurgical‐grade silicon. Equipment has been developed to pilot manufacturing plant scale. The system comprises an electron‐beam furnace for phosphorus removal and a plasma furnace for boron removal. Each furnace has a mold for directional solidification to remove metallic impurities. The concentration of each impurity in the silicon ingot purified through the whole process satisfied the solar‐grade level. The Solar‐grade silicon produced showed p ‐type polarity and resistivity within the range 0·5–1·5 Ω cm. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.
Nutrition of the Intervertebral Disc: Solute Transport and Metabolism (1981)

The metabolism of the canine nucleus pulposus was investigated at different oxygen tensions. It was found that even at high oxygen tensions the metabolism is mainly anaerobic, only approximately 1.5% of the glucose being converted to carbon dioxide. The concentration dependence of oxygen consumption is limited to very low oxygen tensions. Values of oxygen consumption and lactic acid production were used to calculate the concentration profiles of these substances within the nucleus pulposus, using a diffusion theory. The predicted concentration profiles were compared with the experimental measurements of concentration at various positions in the disc. The good agreement in these values found in the nucleus confirms that the main mechanism of metabolite transport is diffusion, and the main route of nutrient supply into the nucleus is via the endplate.
Core Stability Training: Applications to Sports Conditioning Programs (2007)

In recent years, fitness practitioners have increasingly recommended core stability exercises in sports conditioning programs. Greater core stability may benefit sports performance by providing a foundation for greater force production in the upper and lower extremities. Traditional resistance exercises have been modified to emphasize core stability. Such modifications have included performing exercises on unstable rather than stable surfaces, performing exercises while standing rather than seated, performing exercises with free weights rather than machines, and performing exercises unilaterally rather than bilaterally. Despite the popularity of core stability training, relatively little scientific research has been conducted to demonstrate the benefits for healthy athletes. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to critically examine core stability training and other issues related to this topic to determine useful applications for sports conditioning programs. Based on the current literature, prescription of core stability exercises should vary based on the phase of training and the health status of the athlete. During preseason and in-season mesocycles, free weight exercises performed while standing on a stable surface are recommended for increases in core strength and power. Free weight exercises performed in this manner are specific to the core stability requirements of sports-related skills due to moderate levels of instability and high levels of force production. Conversely, during postseason and off-season mesocycles, Swiss ball exercises involving isometric muscle actions, small loads, and long tension times are recommended for increases in core endurance. Furthermore, balance board and stability disc exercises, performed in conjunction with plyometric exercises, are recommended to improve proprioceptive and reactive capabilities, which may reduce the likelihood of lower extremity injuries.
Ultrasonic Tomography for Evaluation of Concrete Pavements (2011)

Ultrasonic tomography is an emerging technology that shows promise for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) during construction or for rehabilitation decisions about concrete pavements. However, the benefits of this emerging technology have not yet been fully captured for widespread use in highway infrastructure management. Verification of a state-of-the-art ultrasonic tomography device, MIRA, is presented through multiple field trials involving typical pavement constructability and rehabilitation issues. Field trials indicate that although the device is a useful portable pavement diagnostic alternative capable of consistent thickness measurement, reinforcement location, and distress evaluation, significant efforts and user expertise are required for measurement and data interpretation of large-scale application. Software was developed for a more productive, objective signal interpretation method with auto-mated analysis of reinforcement location in continuously reinforced concrete pavement. This type of automation for multiple applications shows promise for the use of ultrasonic tomography to improve large-scale pavement QA/QC and rehabilitation projects in the future. Nevertheless, the research in the paper shows ultrasonic tomography to be an accurate, reliable, and convenient alternative or supplement to traditional techniques that can be used for a wide variety of small-scale pavement diagnostics applications.
Intervertebral Disc Autografting in a Bipedal Animal Model (1997)

Fusion of the spine while restoring stability of the spinal segment, fails to preserve spinal mobility. Long term complications of accelerated degeneration in the neighboring segments have been reported. The present study explores the possibility of intervertebral disc autografting in a bipedal animal model by isolating a lumbar disc together with the adjacent end plates and repositioning it with minimal internal fixation. Fourteen Rhesus monkeys were sacrificed at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months after surgery and the grafted discs were examined radiologically, biochemically, pathologically, and biomechanically. Healing of the bony end plate was seen between 2 to 4 months postoperatively. There was early loss of disc height at 2 and 4 months but there was a suggestion of some reconstitution up to 12 months. There was minimal evidence of gross degeneration at all stages. Gradual loss of water content was found in the annulus and the nucleus. The nucleus pulposus seemed to be able to reaccumulate proteoglycan after an initial drop in the first 4 months. There was significant increase in hydroxyproline content in the annulus fibrosus and the nucleus pulposus. Biomechanically, the grafted disc showed hypermobility in the first 4 months but gradually became stabilized with time. Results from this study suggested that a fresh intervertebral disc autograft could survive a period of ischemia. Although the physiology of the disc was deranged, it was able to preserve a certain degree of segmental mobility without sacrificing stability. Further studies are required to validate these results and the field of disc allografting should be explored.
Benefits of Structured and Free Monoacylglycerols to Deliver Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) in a Model of Lipid Malabsorption (2012)

In the present study, we used a preclinical model of induced lipolytic enzyme insufficiency, and hypothesized that the use of monoacylglycerols (MAG) will enhance their bioavailability and delivery to the tissues. Experimental diets containing 20% lipids were fed to rats for 21 days with or without Orlistat. The control diet of fish oil (FO), a source of EPA and DHA, was tested against: structured (A) vanillin acetal of sn-2 MAG (Vanil + O) and (B) diacetyl derivative of sn-2 MAG (Acetyl + O) and (C) free MAG (MAG + O). FA profiles with an emphasis on EPA and DHA levels were determined in plasma, red blood cells (RBC), liver, spleen, brain and retina. We observed significant reduction of lipid absorption when rats co-consumed Orlistat. As expected, the FO groups with and without Orlistat showed the biggest difference. The Vanil + O, Acetyl + O and MAG + O groups, demonstrated higher levels of EPA (5.5 &#177; 1.9, 4.6 &#177; 1.6 and 5.6 &#177; 0.6, respectively) in RBC compared with FO + O diets (3.3 &#177; 0.2, 2.6 &#177; 0.2). Levels of EPA incorporation, in plasma, were similar to those obtained for RBC, and similar trends were observed for the collected tissues and even with DHA levels. These observations with two MAG derivatives providing the fatty acid esterified in the sn-2 position, show that these molecules are efficient vehicles of EPA in malabsorption conditions which is in line with our hypothesis. Free MAG, characterized as having exclusively sn-1(3) isomers of EPA, demonstrated better absorption efficiencies and accretion to tissues when compared to structured MAG. The study demonstrated that structured and free MAG can be used efficiently as an enteral vehicle to supply bioactive fatty acids such as EPA and DHA in lipid malabsorption where diminished lipolytic activity is the underlying cause.
IFNβ-1b may severely exacerbate Japanese optic-spinal MS in neuromyelitis optica spectrum (2010)

Our study suggests that IFNβ-1b may trigger severe exacerbation in patients with the NMO spectrum. In INFβ-1b therapy, cases in NMO spectrum should be carefully excluded.
Optimizing the DVB-T2 system for mobile broadcast (2010)

Recently, work in Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) group has targeted to focus on the development of the Next Generation Handheld (NGH) broadcast standard. It is highly probable that the new standard will be based on DVB-T2 standard. While DVB-T2 was already developed with portable receivers as one of the target user groups, there are still open issues which can be improved. In this paper authors, first, state requirements for optimal transmission of H.264/SVC services in mobile broadcasting scenario. Next, they analyze whether those requirements can be applied in DVB-T2 system and what kind of modification would be needed.
&lt;title&gt;Feature aided tracking with hyperspectral imagery&lt;/title&gt; (2007)

Target tracking in an urban environment presents a wealth of ambiguous tracking scenarios that cause a kinematic-only tracker to fail. Partial or full occlusions in areas of tall buildings are particularly problematic as there is often no way to correctly identify the target with only kinematic information. Feature aided tracking attempts to resolve problems with a kinematic-only tracker by extracting features from the data. In the case of panchromatic video, the features are often histograms, the same is true for color video data. In the case where tracks are uniquely different colors, more typical feature aided trackers may perform well. However, a typical urban setting has similar size, shape, and color tracks, and more typical feature aided trackers have no hopes in resolving many of the ambiguities we face. We present a novel feature aided tracking algorithm combining two-sensor modes: panchromatic video data and hyperspectral imagery. The hyperspectral data is used to provide a unique fingerprint for each target of interest where that fingerprint is the set of features used in our feature aided tracker. Results indicate an impressive 19% gain in correct track ID with our hyperspectral feature aided tracker compared to the baseline performance with a kinematic-only tracker.
