Work function tunability by incorporating lanthanum and aluminum into refractory metal nitrides and a feasible integration process (2006)

In this work, lanthanum-incorporated refractory metal nitride is investigated as an n-type metal gate electrode with tunable work function. By adding La into HfN metal gate deposited on SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> gate dielectric, its gate work function can be tuned from 4.6 eV to 3.9 eV continuously by changing La composition. The authors also report the effective work function of TaN can be tuned to p-type with the incorporation of Al based on our findings, we propose a feasible integration process for dual metal gate CMOS technology
Responses of Pancreatic B Cells to Alloxan and Streptozotocin in the Guinea Pig (1986)

Guinea pigs injected with streptozotocin were significantly hyperglycemic on day 1 after injection but only mildly so on day 14. However, serum insulin levels were significantly depressed on day 14; at this time the animals had lost 25% of their initial body weights and were severely glycosuric. The volume fraction of immunostainable B cells in the pancreas was reduced to one third of control values by day 1 after injection and remained at this level by day 14. Animals that received alloxan were slightly hyperglycemic on day 1 but not day 14. Both serum insulin and volume fraction of B cells in the pancreas were reduced by 70% on day 1 but had returned to control levels by day 14. Body weights for this group were equivalent to controls at both time points. These data indicate that: streptozotocin treatment of guinea pigs causes a diabetes-like condition characterized by insulin deficiency, pancreatic B cell loss, glycosuria, and weight loss, which are not reversed in the first 2 weeks after injection, whereas hyperglycemia is only transitory; alloxan also produces a diabetes-like condition early after injection, but all signs of diabetes disappear within 2 weeks, by which time serum insulin levels and the volume fraction of B cells in the pancreas have returned to normal. The experimental results suggest that regeneration of islet B cells following destruction by alloxan may be the primary cause of the recovery of alloxan-injected guinea pigs from the effects of the drug, whereas the persistence of insulin deficiency is consistent with an absence of islet B cell regeneration in the streptozotocin-treated animals.
Facile Synthesis of α‐ and β‐O‐Glycosyl Imidates; Preparation of Glycosides and Disaccharides (1980)

Simplification of glycoside and saccharide syntheses is possible with the aid of the readily isolable β- and α-glycosyl imidates (1) and (2). These key compounds are conveniently prepared from C-1-unprotected glucopyranose. Compounds of type (2) were formerly unknown.

Characteristics of InGaN laser diodes in the pure blue region (2001)

InGaN multi-quantum-well-structure laser diodes (LDs), whose emission wavelengths are in the pure blue region, were grown on epitaxially laterally overgrown GaN on a free-standing GaN substrate by the metaorganic chemical-vapor deposition method. The wavelength dependence of the InGaN LD characteristics was investigated. These results indicated that there is a strong relationship between the threshold current density and the emission wavelength of LDs. LDs with an emission wavelength of 460 nm were demonstrated. The threshold current density and voltage of these LDs were 3.3 kA/cm2 and 4.6 V, respectively. The estimated lifetime was approximately 3000 h under 50 °C continuous-wave operation at an output power of 5 mW.

Quasi-1-dimensional theory of linear induction motors with half-filled primary endslots (1975)

A simplified theory of linear induction motors (l.i.m.s) with half-filled endslots is presented. The effect of primary-core length is taken into account by means of appropriate fictitious current sheets. Skin effect and transverse-edge effects are included by means of appropriate correction factors. Longitudinal end effect, transverse-edge effect, and skin effect are considered, and it is shown that the method presented in the paper is much simpler than any available elsewhere. A numerical illustrative example is given, and the end results are given in a simplified form. The usefulness of windings with half-filled endslots is discussed with regard to end effects.
Screening for resistance to broomrape (Orobanche cernua) in cultivated sunflower (1996)

Abstract Racial evolution of sunflower broomrape ( Orobanche cernua ) has been very rapid in Spain during recent years, in which resistance has been overcome several times and there has been an important increase in areas infested with this parasitic angiosperm. In order to find resistance to a highly virulent population of sunflower broomrape that could be used directly in breeding programmes, three different sets of cultivated plant material composed of 429 entries were tested by artificial inoculation. All evaluated inbred lines from Moden, Canada, were fully susceptible. Out of the 240 P.I. accessions tested, only 10 segregated for resistance to broomrape, the rest being susceptible. From the 160 USDA breeding lines evaluated, 5% were resistant and 19% segregated for resistance to O. cernua. These lines traced back mainly to crosses of RHA 274 and RHA 801 with Russian, Turkish and Romanian hybrids. The origin of P.I. accessions that segregated for resistance were primarily derived from the former USSR and from Romania.

Dynamics of Drying in 3D Porous Media (2008)

The drying dynamics in three dimensional porous media are studied with confocal microscopy. We observe abrupt air invasions in size from single particle to hundreds of particles. We show that these result from the strong flow from menisci in large pores to menisci in small pores during drying. This flow causes air invasions to start in large menisci and subsequently spread throughout the entire system. We measure the size and structure of the air invasions and show that they are in accord with invasion percolation. By varying the particle size and contact angle we unambiguously demonstrate that capillary pressure dominates the drying process.
Serotonin reverts age-related capillarization and failure of regeneration in the liver through a VEGF-dependent pathway (2011)

The function of the liver is well-preserved during the aging process, although some evidence suggests that liver regeneration might be impaired with advanced age. We observed a decreased ability of the liver to restore normal volume after partial hepatectomy in elderly mice, and we identified a pathway that rescued regeneration and was triggered by serotonin. 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI), a serotonin receptor agonist, reversed the age-related pseudocapillarization of old liver and improved hepatosinusoidal blood flow. After hepatectomy, the open fenestrae were associated with a restored attachment of platelets to endothelium and the initiation of a normal regenerative response, including the up-regulation of essential growth mediators and serotonin receptors. In turn, hepatocyte proliferation recovered along with regain of liver volume and animal survival. DOI operates through the release of VEGF, and its effects could be blocked with anti-VEGF antibodies both in vitro and in vivo. These results suggest that pseudocapillarization in the aged acts as a barrier to liver regeneration. DOI breaks this restraint through an endothelium-dependent mechanism driven by VEGF. This pathway highlights a target for reversing the age-associated decline in the capacity of the liver to regenerate.
Synthese neuer Carboximidoylchloride und ihre Umsetzung mit nucleophilen Reagenzien (1984)

Abstract Die N ‐Acyl‐Substituierten Carboximidoylchloride 2a – k bzw. Biscarboximidoylchloride 21 – v lassen sich leicht in einstufiger Synthese aus den Carbamidsäurenitrilen 1a – c bzw. aus den Dicarbonitrilen 1d – e mit organischen Säurechloriden bzw. 2‐Chlor‐1,1‐dicyanethylen darstellen. Die Stabilität der Reaktionsprodukte wird dabei entscheidend durch die Substituenten in α‐Stellung zur Acylgrupe beeinflußt. Die Verbindungen 2a, f, o und u gehen mit O‐Nucleophilen (H 2 O, Alkohole, Phenole), S‐Nucleophilen (Dithiocarbamate, Thiopenole) und N‐Nucleophilen (NH 3 , aliphatische und aromatische Amine) Reaktionen ein.
Antifungal and Antibacterial Metabolites from a Sclerotium-Colonizing Isolate of Mortierella vinacea (1999)

The known compound methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,5,6-trimethylbenzoate (1) and three new related metabolites, which we have named mortivinacins A (2), B (3), and C (4), were identified as metabolites of the fungus Mortierella vinacea. Nicotinic acid (5) was also encountered. This isolate of M. vinacea was obtained from an Aspergillus flavus sclerotium during field studies of sclerotium longevity in soil. Compounds 1-5 were isolated by chromatographic fractionation of organic extracts from M. vinacea solid-substrate fermentation cultures, and the structures were assigned by analysis of NMR and MS data. Compounds 1, 2, and 5 were responsible for the antibacterial and antifungal activities of the extract.
Dose-Dependent Acceleration of High-Density Lipoprotein Catabolism by Endothelial Lipase (2003)

Expression of EL in mice results in a dose-dependent increase in postheparin plasma phospholipase activity, catabolic rate of HDL-apolipoprotein, and uptake of apoA-I in both kidney and liver.
Joint Dereverberation and Noise Reduction Based on Acoustic Multi-Channel Equalization (2016)

Regularized acoustic multi-channel equalization techniques, such as regularized partial multi-channel equalization based on the multiple-input/output inverse theorem (RPMINT), are able to achieve a high dereverberation performance in the presence of room impulse response perturbations but may lead to amplification of the additive noise. In this paper, two time-domain techniques aiming at joint dereverberation and noise reduction based on acoustic multi-channel equalization are proposed. The first technique, namely RPMINT for joint dereverberation and noise reduction (RPM-DNR), extends RPMINT by explicitly taking the noise statistics into account. In addition to the regularization parameter used in RPMINT, the RPM-DNR technique introduces an additional weighting parameter, enabling a trade-off between dereverberation and noise reduction. The second technique, namely multi-channel Wiener filter for joint dereverberation and noise reduction (MWF-DNR), takes both the speech and the noise statistics into account and uses the RPMINT filter to compute a dereverberated reference signal for the multi-channel Wiener filter. The MWF-DNR technique also introduces an additional weighting parameter, which now provides a trade-off between speech distortion and noise reduction. To automatically select the regularization and weighting parameters, for the RPM-DNR technique a novel procedure based on the L-hypersurface is proposed, whereas for the MWF-DNR technique two decoupled optimization procedures based on the L-curve are used. Extensive simulations demonstrate using instrumental measures that the RPM-DNR technique maintains the dereverberation performance of the RPMINT technique while improving its noise reduction performance. Furthermore, it is shown that the MWF-DNR technique yields a significantly better noise reduction performance than the RPM-DNR technique at the expense of a worse dereverberation performance.

Finding heroes and heroines: fads, fantasies, and foibles of search and screen committees. (1996)

Search and screen committees have many agendas other than finding candidates for a job vacancy. They are essentially political processes whereby special interest groups inside and outside the organization can express opinions, monitor diversity, and review and fine-tune the organizational culture with respect to planned change. Search committees reflect the fads of the institutional culture, have fantasies about the kinds of persons they will attract to the position, and commit foibles that may affect the outcome of the search.
Localized Radon transform-based detection of linear features in noisy images (1994)

This paper presents a Radon transform-based approach to the detection of linear features in images characterized by high noise levels. This approach is based on the localized Radon transform where the intensity integration is performed over short line segments rather than across the entire image. The algorithm, referred to as the feature space line detector (FSLD) algorithm, is tested on synthetic images of linear features with very high noise levels. The results of this testing demonstrate the algorithm's robustness in the presence of noise, as well as its ability to detect and localize linear features that are significantly shorter than the image dimensions or that display some curvature.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Quantum Control of Photodissociation Using Shaped Ultrafast Pulses (2012)

Edge Intelligence for Autonomous Driving in 6G Wireless System: Design Challenges and Solutions (2021)

In a level-5 autonomous driving system, the autonomous driving vehicles (AVs) are expected to sense the surroundings via analyzing a large amount of data captured by a variety of onboard sensors in near-real-time. As a result, enormous computing costs will be introduced to the AVs for processing the tasks with the deployed machine learning (ML) model, while the inference accuracy may not be guaranteed. In this context, the advent of edge intelligence (EI) and sixth-generation (6G) wireless networking are expected to pave the way to more reliable and safer autonomous driving by providing multi-access edge computing (MEC) together with ML to AVs in close proximity. To realize this goal, we propose a two-tier EI-empowered autonomous driving framework. In the autonomous-vehicles tier, the autonomous vehicles are deployed with the shallow layers by splitting the trained deep neural network model. In the edge-intelligence tier, an edge server is implemented with the remaining layers (also deep layers) and an appropriately trained multi-task learning (MTL) model. In particular, obtaining the optimal offloading strategy (including the binary offloading decision and the computational resources allocation) can be formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, which is solved via MTL in near-real-time with high accuracy. On another note, an edge-vehicle joint inference is proposed through neural network segmentation to achieve efficient online inference with data privacy-preserving and less communication delay. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, and open research topics are finally listed.
Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Systemic Mastocytosis (2012)

Systemic mastocytosis is a hematologic disorder with important perioperative implications. A variety of stimuli and medications can cause severe anaphylaxis in these patients. We report successful preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management of a patient with systemic mastocytosis who underwent an aortic valve replacement and review the literature pertaining to cardiac surgery in these patients.
Performance-Aware Orchestration and Management over 5G and Beyond Infrastructures Based on Diagnostic Mechanisms (2022)

This work introduces the advanced orchestration and diagnostic components for 5G and beyond infrastructures enabling intelligent automated management of deployed vertical services. The paper presents the progress and results produced and the actions for creating, deploying and monitoring a network service. The developed components can support both currently developing innovative 5G and 6G network services and solutions for vertical industries. These include features that enable the design phase of vertical users, intelligent orchestration mechanisms with optimal placement of services and finally offer insights and performance analysis. In the context of the performance diagnosis mechanisms we propose a fault detection and localization model based on a combination of two respective modules, one that utilizes Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) as a Machine Learning technique and one that implements an algorithm based on adjacency lists to perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA). Finally, the aforementioned aspects are supported by some preliminary results in order to show the effectiveness of such approach.
A Hyperneuron Model Towards in Silico Implementation (2022)

In this paper, the concept of hyperneuron is introduced. The main properties and dynamical characteristics of this class of hypersystems will be studied by numerical analysis. The intrinsic robustness of the proposed model is further investigated by proposing a silicon implementation of the hyperneuron, reporting the corresponding experimental results. The study aims to present a novel approach to in silico implementations of large-scale networks of neurons with increased robustness and fault tolerance.
Monooxygenase-Mediated Insecticide Resistance: Regulation of CYP6D1 Expression (2001)

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-mediated detoxification is a major mechanism of resistance to insecticides. Although major advances have been made, we are still a long way from completely understanding the molecular basis of this resistance. Cytochrome P450 6D1 (CYP6D1) is responsible for monooxygenase-mediated resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in the Learn PyR (LPR) strain of house fly. The underlying mechanism for increased detoxification of pyrethroids in LPR is elevated transcription of CYP6D1. Identification of the DNA sequence elements (and the specific proteins that bind these sites) responsible for increased transcription of CYP6D1 and other P450s involved in resistance will provide a vastly improved understanding of this important resistance mechanism. Some of the possible mechanisms by which an elevated rate of transcription could occur are discussed.
Comparison of the effect of tautomycin and phorbol ester on protein kinase C in a cell-free system. (1989)

The effect of tautomycin (TM) on protein kinase C (PKC) was studied in a cell-free system. TM, like phorbol dibutyrate (PDBu), enhanced both base-line and Ca2+/phospholipids-dependent protein kinase activity. However, PDBu but not TM increased the affinity of the enzyme for calcium ions (Ca2+), suggesting that TM is a new activator of PKC, distinct from PDBu. In the presence of 10 micrograms/ml phosphatidyl inositol, the activity of PKC reached maximum at 10(-3) M Ca2+ concentration when the other co-factors were absent. Both TM and PDBu increased the maximum level of PKC activity at the optimum concentration of Ca2+, suggesting that they interacted with the site of PKC which is distinct from the site where Ca2+ interacts. TM and PDBu did not activate the enzyme when protamine sulfate in place of histone III-S was used as a substrate, indicating that they activate PKC by affecting the regulatory domain of the enzyme.
Synchronizing Frequency and Phase of Non-overlapping Laser Beams (1993)

We present a technique for synchronizing frequency and phase of several parallel, non-overlapping laser beams. The concept provides for a so-called pilot beam whose phase front serves as a reference. Optical phase-locked loops control the frequency of the laser sources. An experiment using diode-pumped, tunable Nd:YAG ring lasers verities the concept. One application of the scheme lies in the field of optical phased arrays, leading to sources with non-mechanically steerable output beams and high brightness due to coherent power combination. Such arrays could be used advantageously as antennas in free-space laser communications systems
Change in blood pressure in offspring of parents with high or low blood pressure (1988)

A family history of hypertension is an important predictor of high blood pressure. We investigated the question of whether this predisposition affects the level and change of blood pressure early in life, and in particular, at what age the familial aggregation of blood pressure occurs. Blood pressure and related characteristics were studied in children whose parents both had relatively high blood pressure (`high') and the results were compared with those from children whose parents both had a relatively low blood pressure (`low') and with children with one parent high and the other parent low (`mixed'). At the age of 8 years there were no clear differences in pressure but at the age of 20 years there was a difference of 7 mmHg for both systolic and diastolic pressure between the high- and low-risk offspring. These findings suggest that the magnitude of familial aggregation of blood pressure increases during childhood and adolescence.
