Aging Behaviors in AZ91D/Al<SUB>18</SUB>B<SUB>4</SUB>O<SUB>33w</SUB> Composite Fabricated by Squeeze Casting (2008)

Aluminum borate whisker (Al18B4O33w, denoted by ABOw) reinforced AZ91D (Mg-9.1 mass%Al-0.7 mass%Zn) magnesium alloy composite was fabricated by squeeze casting. AZ91D/ABOw composite and AZ91D alloy were aged at 443 K in oil-bath. The composite exhibited an accelerated age-hardening response comparing with AZ91D alloy. Age-hardening efficiency of composite was better than that of AZ91D alloy. It was attributed to the interfacial reaction between AZ91D alloy matrix and ABOw. The interfacial reaction increased aluminum elements in the matrix and MgO interfacial reaction layer restrained the formation of interfacial precipitate, resulting in more amounts of continuous precipitates and smaller inter-precipitates spacing within the composite matrix.
Different modulation formats for Gigabit-over-POF (2012)

Comparison of the performances of 2-PAM and duobinary modulation formats for the transmission of Gigabit Ethernet signal over SI-POF. We demonstrated that duobinary provides the best performances, without any significant increase in implementation complexity.
Electronically tunable filtering networks: theory, analysis and simulation (1993)

A parallel four-port tunable conductance-susceptance network model is proposed for use in tunable filtering networks, with emphasis on its modelling, sensitivity minimising and computer simulation. In contrast with the design of tunable transfer functions in the complex domain, we synthesise a four-port linear and controllable conductance network in the real domain, which is easier to implement with CMOS transconductance elements. The basic building blocks and general forms of the conductance matrix and structure for biquad filtering networks (BFN) are given. The redefined port parameters, equivalent port short-circuit resistance, equivalent port opencircuit resistance and equivalent transfer coefficients are given and used for the analysis of network sensitivity. Theoretical analysis and preliminary simulation results show that the minimum sensitivity condition can be obtained for BFN when the two time constants at two energystorage ports are equal. It also shows that the w and Q parameters in biquad filtering networks and the weights in some neural networks are tunable by changing the gate signals, and the input impedance of the network is very large as there is no backward-feed connection to input port. Because the construction is based on CMOS elements, the realisation can be readily integrated. This method can also be used to design a tunableweight network in some neural networks, since a transconductance element can be easily used as a weight between any two neurons.
Simulation and Tuning of PID Controllers using Evolutionary Algorithms (2012)

The Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is the most widely used control strategy in the Industry. The popularity of PID controllers can be attributed to their robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions and partly to their functional simp licity. The process of setting of PID controller can be determined as an optimizat ion task. Over the years, use of intelligent strategies for tuning of these controllers has been growing. Bio logically inspired evolutionary strategies have gained importance over other strategies because of their consistent performance over wide range of process models and their flexibility. The level control systems on Deaerator, Feed Water Heaters, and Condenser Hot well are crit ical to the proper operation of the units in Nuclear Po wer p lants. For Precise control of level, available tuning technologies based on conventional optimization methods are found to be inadequate as these conventional methods are having limitations. To overcome the limitations , alternate tuning techniques based on Genetic Algorithm are emerging. This paper analyses the manual tuning techniques and compares the same with Genetic Algorith m tuning methods for tuning PID controllers for level control system and testing of the quality of process control in the simulation environ ment of PFBR Operator Training Simulator(OTS).
Managing Life Support Systems Using Procedures (2007)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;International Space Station life support hardware is controlled mainly from the ground by executing standard operating procedures. While some on-board software exists for safety purposes, most commands are sent from ECLSS ground controllers to achieve mission objectives. This will prove unwieldy for extended operations with increasing time delays. This paper presents a new approach to encoding standard operating procedures that provides a path to greater autonomy in life support operations. Software tools will allow for adjustable automation of procedures from either the ground or on-board. The Cascade Distiller System (CDS) being tested at NASA Johnson Space Center is used as an example system.&lt;/div&gt;

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of human antibodies to Salmonella typhi Vi antigen (1983)

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to detect antibodies to Salmonella typhi Vi antigen in human serum, and the results were compared with those from a previously described hemagglutination assay (HA). The ELISA detected Vi antibodies at a titer of greater than or equal to 20 in 40 (52%) of 77 sera from typhoid fever patients, whereas the HA gave titers of greater than or equal to 20 in 35 (47%). Determination of titers of serum specimens from 170 persons without typhoid fever revealed Vi antibody titers of greater than or equal to 20 in 4 (2.3%) by the ELISA and 3 (1.7%) by the HA. Unlike the sensitized erythrocytes used in the HA, the ELISA reagents have a shelf life of greater than or equal to 1 year. The ELISA may be preferred by some laboratories, especially those already performing other ELISA tests.

Testicular hamartomas in Cowden disease (2003)

We report a case of testicular hamartomas in association with Cowden disease. Clinical examination of the patient, a 39-year-old man, revealed a palpable mass in the right side of the scrotum. Sonographic examination showed that the mass was either a spermatocele or an epididymal cyst and that multiple hyperechoic lesions were present in both testes. On subsequent MRI, the appearance of these lesions was consistent with that of fat-containing hamartomas. Testicular biopsy was not performed, but follow-up serial sonographic examination was recommended. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe testicular hamartomas as a probable manifestation of Cowden disease.
Real-Time Landmine Detection with Ground-Penetrating Radar Using Discriminative and Adaptive Hidden Markov Models (2005)

We propose a real-time software system for landmine detection using ground-penetrating radar (GPR). The system includes an efficient and adaptive preprocessing component; a hidden Markov model- (HMM-) based detector; a corrective training component; and an incremental update of the background model. The preprocessing is based on frequency-domain processing and performs ground-level alignment and background removal. The HMM detector is an improvement of a previously proposed system (baseline). It includes additional pre- and postprocessing steps to improve the time efficiency and enable real-time application. The corrective training component is used to adjust the initial model parameters to minimize the number of misclassification sequences. This component could be used offline, or online through feedback to adapt an initial model to specific sites and environments. The background update component adjusts the parameters of the background model to adapt it to each lane during testing. The proposed software system is applied to data acquired from three outdoor test sites at different geographic locations, using a state-of-the-art array GPR prototype. The first collection was used as training, and the other two (contain data from more than 1200 m of simulated dirt and gravel roads) for testing. Our results indicate that, on average, the corrective training can improve the performance by about 10% for each site. For individual lanes, the performance gain can reach 50%.
Abstract 2267A: Red beetroot dye inhibits proliferation in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. (2013)

Abstract Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCCHN) comprises more than 90% of all head and neck cancers. Despite the many recent advancements in cancer therapy, SCCHN survival has had little improvement with a 5-year survival rate of less than 50%. SCCHN is currently the 6th most common form of cancer in the United States and is rapidly becoming one of the most frequent cancers in developing nations. Red beetroot dye is a commonly used food additive to add a deep red color to commonly consumed foods like ice cream and yogurt. It also contains active anticancer chemical compounds such as betanins and betalains. These compounds are prepared by crushing the beetroots and mixing with water, ascorbic acid, citric acid, and dextrin. Previous work has shown that red beetroot dye can be effective in suppressing the development of multiorgan tumors in animal experiments, including up to 70% prevention of esophageal cancer in a rat chemoprevention study. No previous studies have evaluated the ability of red beetroot dye to inhibit the growth and proliferation of SCCHN. SCCHN cells were treated with increasing dose concentration of red beetroot dye and assessed for proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle changes, and G1 protein expression changes. We observed dose dependent toxicity in SCCHN following red beetroot dye treatment with concomitant cell cycle arrest in the G1 and G2 cell cycle phases. Cell cycle arrest appeared to be more significant with p53 mutation. Decreased cell counts were induced by cells undergoing apoptosis and necrosis. UMSCC-17b (mutant p53) treated with increasing doses of red beetroot dye expressed lower levels of p53 and p21 by western blot analysis. Taken together, these results suggest that red beetroot dye may have significant potential as a chemopreventive or adjuvant treatment for SCCHN.

90 GW peak power few-cycle mid-infrared pulses from an optical parametric amplifier (2011)

We demonstrate a compact 20 Hz repetition-rate mid-IR OPCPA system operating at a central wavelength of 3900 nm with the tail-to-tail spectrum extending over 600 nm and delivering 8 mJ pulses that are compressed to 83 fs (<7 optical cycles). Because of the long optical period (∼13 fs) and a high peak power, the system opens a range of unprecedented opportunities for tabletop ultrafast science and is particularly attractive as a driver for a highly efficient generation of ultrafast coherent x-ray continua for biomolecular and element specific imaging.
Erratum to “Genome‐wide association analysis of age at onset and psychotic symptoms in bipolar disorder”, American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics”, April 1; 156(3):370–378 (2011)

The authors have recently discovered an error in analysis that alters the results of their recently published GWAS of age at onset in bipolar disorder. Figure 1 and Table II below show the corrected information. Please note that all results remain statistically non-significant and thus the conclusions drawn remain the same. The results for the analysis of psychotic symptoms were not affected by this mistake and no other publications were influenced. The authors sincerely regret this error and apologize for any confusion it may have caused. Manhattan plot for GWA of age at onset of BP.

Ground level disturbance from large aircraft flying at supersonic speeds (1960)

The Whitham-Walkden theory for the estimation of the strength&#13;\nof shock waves at ground level from aircraft flying at supersonic&#13;\nspeeds is applied to the case of a typical projected supersonic civil&#13;\ntransport aeroplane.&#13;\nIf a figure of 2 lb/sq.ft. (including a factor of 2 for ground&#13;\nreflection) is taken as an upper limit for the acceptable strength of&#13;\nthe bow wave from such an aircraft it is shown that restrictions on&#13;\nthe climb and flight plan will be involved. The advantage of the&#13;\nemployment of larger engines with or without afterburning is discussed,&#13;\nwith reference also to the penalties involved owing to the increase in&#13;\nweight of the aircraft and its direct operating costs.&#13;\nFinally it is suggested that an aircraft of given volume could be&#13;\ndesigned, by suitable choice of thickness and lift distribution, to&#13;\nminimise the strength of the shock waves in the far field.
[Chediak-Higashi-like inclusions in acute myeloblastic leukemia. Ultrastructural study]. (1994)

The pseudo-Chédiak-Higashi anomaly is characterized by the presence of giant granules in the cytoplasm of blast cells in acute leukemia. We report here a new case of acute myelogenous leukemia (M2 type) with this alteration. The granules were azurophilic or eosinophilic and reacted strongly to peroxidase stain. Ultrastructural studies showed that the granules contained a dense matrix and occasionally "finger print" structures at the periphery; in some inclusions, fibrillar structures of myelinic figures could be seen. The matrix was reactive to peroxidase and small vesicles were prominent in the cytoplasm near the granules. We conclude that the giant granules could have been formed by the fusion of primary granules and/or by the fusion of these small dense vesicles.

<title>Performance of a parallel bispectrum estimation code</title> (1991)

We compare the performance of three parallel supercomputers executing a bispectrum estimation code used to remove distortions from astronomical data. We discuss the issues in parallelizing the code on an 8-processor shared-memory CRAY Y-MP and a 1024-processor distributed-memory nCUBE machine. Results show that elapsed times on the nCUBE machine are comparable to those on the CRAY Y-MP. Execution of the nCUBE was more than 40 times faster than that of a single processor CRAY-2 resulting in more than 50 times better cost performance. Cost performance on the nCUBE is more than 25 times better than an 8- processor CRAY Y-MP.
The Synergistic Effect of Visible Light and Gentamycin on <em>Pseudomona aeruginosa</em> Microorganisms (2013)

Recently there were several publications on the bactericidal effect of visible light, most of them claiming that blue part of the spectrum (400 nm-500 nm) is responsible for killing various pathogens1-5. The phototoxic effect of blue light was suggested to be a result of light-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation by endogenous bacterial photosensitizers which mostly absorb light in the blue region4,6,7. There are also reports of biocidal effect of red and near infra red8 as well as green light9. In the present study, we developed a method that allowed us to characterize the effect of high power green (wavelength of 532 nm) continuous (CW) and pulsed Q-switched (Q-S) light on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Using this method we also studied the effect of green light combined with antibiotic treatment (gentamycin) on the bacteria viability. P. aeruginosa is a common noscomial opportunistic pathogen causing various diseases. The strain is fairly resistant to various antibiotics and contains many predicted AcrB/Mex-type RND multidrug efflux systems10. The method utilized free-living stationary phase Gram-negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa strain PAO1), grown in Luria Broth (LB) medium exposed to Q-switched and/or CW lasers with and without the addition of the antibiotic gentamycin. Cell viability was determined at different time points. The obtained results showed that laser treatment alone did not reduce cell viability compared to untreated control and that gentamycin treatment alone only resulted in a 0.5 log reduction in the viable count for P. aeruginosa. The combined laser and gentamycin treatment, however, resulted in a synergistic effect and the viability of P. aeruginosa was reduced by 8 log's. The proposed method can further be implemented via the development of catheter like device capable of injecting an antibiotic solution into the infected organ while simultaneously illuminating the area with light.
Measurements of beam characteristics relevant to DUV microlithography on a KrF excimer laser (1990)

We present measurements of several optical characteristics of the 248 nm beam produced by a spectrally narrowed KrF excimer laser designed for the deep ultraviolet reduction stepper. These measurements include intensity divergence and polarization profiles spectral content and coherence properties. Using a special high resolution spectrometer we have established an upper limit of 2. 27 pm FWHM for the spectral bandwidth in agreement with measurements made with a diagnostic etalon. We have also found that the wavelength varies across the horizontal profile of the beam at a linear rate of 0. 59 pm/mm. No comparable wavelength variation is seen in the vertical direction. Coherence measurements show that the vertical and horizontal spatial coherence lengths are different 60 mm and 126 mm respectively. The temporal coherence length is 33. 3 mm in good agreement with the measured bandwidth. 1.

Wafer-level fabrication of multi-element glass lenses: lens doublet with improved optical performances (2015)

This Letter reports on the fabrication of glass lens doublets arranged in arrays and realized at wafer level by means of micro-fabrication. The technique is based on the accurate vertical assembly of separately fabricated glass lens arrays. Since each one of these arrays is obtained by glass melting in silicon cavities, silicon is employed as a spacer in order to build a well-aligned and robust optical module. It is shown that optical performance achieved by the lens doublet is better than for a single lens of equivalent numerical aperture, thanks to lower optical aberrations. The technique has good potential to match the optical requirements of miniature imaging systems.
In Reply: Schools and Sex Education (1989)

The purpose of our article and its conclusions were not to "excuse" physicians from providing education and services to adolescents about sexuality and pregnancy. The purpose of our study was to educate physicians about the current effectiveness of school-based programs and to stimulate further involvement of the medical community in designing, implementing, and evaluating new, innovative, and potentially more effective approaches. We agree with Ms Senderowitz that a multifactorial approach is needed and that school-based programs are but one component of a broader effort.
