Theory and algorithms for separated continuous linear programming and its extensions (2005)

In this thesis we study the theory and algorithms for separated continuous linear programming (SCLP) and its extensions. 
We first investigate the relationships among SCLP, the dual of SCLP and the corresponding discretized versions of them. By using the symmetric primal and dual structure and an even partition of the time interval [0, T], we show that the strong duality holds between SCLP and its dual problem under some mild assumption. This is actually an alternative proof for the strong duality theorem. The other constructive proof is due to Weiss [50]. Our new proof is more direct and can be easily extended to prove the same strong duality results for the extensions of SCLP. Based on these results, we propose an approximation algorithm which solves SCLP with any prescribed precision requirement. Our algorithm is in fact a polynomial-time approximation (PTA) scheme. The trade-off between the quality of the solution and the computational effort is explicit. 
We then study the extensions of SCLP; that is, separated continuous conic programming (SCCP) and its generalized version (GSCCP). It turns out that our results on SCLP can be readily extended to SCCP and GSCCP. To our knowledge, SCCP and GSCCP are new models with novel applications. 
Throughout this thesis, some numerical examples are used to illustrate the algorithms that we propose. In particular, we solve a special LQ control problem with sign constraints on the state and the control variables as an instance of SCCP, yielding a new solution method for such kind of LQ control problems.
Analytical and experimental studies of impact dampers (1965)

A study is made of the general behavior of a single particle impact damper, with the main emphasis on symmetric 2 impacts/cycle motion. The exact solution for this case is derived analytically and its asymptotically stable regions are determined. The stability analysis defines the zones where the modulus of all the eigenvalues of a certain matrix relating conditions after each of two consecutive impacts is less than unity.

Results of the analysis are supplemented and verified by experimental studies with a mechanical model and an analog computer. Additional numerical investigations are made with a digital computer.

It is found that, under practically realizable conditions, impact damping is effective in reducing the vibration amplitude levels resulting from sinusoidal, random, or impulse-like excitation.
Integrated Capture and Electrocatalytic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Alcohols (2019)

The goal of this SEED LDRD project was to perform proof of concept studies that would provide proof of concept data that would demonstrate viability of an R&D approach to develop an innovative, scalable electrochemical technology for synthesis of liquid fuels and chemicals (e.g., ethanol) through coupling of H2 produced from water splitting and CO2 captured in solvents from industrial waste streams.
Exploiting convergent evolution to derive a pan-cancer cisplatin response gene expression signature (2021)

Abstract Precision medicine offers remarkable potential for the treatment of cancer, but is largely focused on tumors that harbor actionable mutations. Gene expression signatures can expand the scope of precision medicine by predicting response to traditional (cytotoxic) chemotherapy agents without relying on changes in mutational status. We present a novel signature extraction method, inspired by the principle of convergent evolution, which states that tumors with disparate genetic backgrounds may evolve similar phenotypes independently. This evolutionary-informed method can be utilized to produce signatures predictive of response to over 200 chemotherapeutic drugs found in the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer Database. Here, we demonstrate its use by extracting the Cisplatin Response Signature, CisSig, for use in predicting a common trait (sensitivity to cisplatin) across disparate tumor subtypes (epithelial-origin tumors). CisSig is predictive of cisplatin response within the cell lines and clinical trends in independent datasets of tumor samples. Finally, we demonstrate preliminary validation of CisSig for use in muscle-invasive cancer, predicting overall survival in patients who undergo cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. This novel methodology can be used to produce robust signatures for the prediction of traditional chemotherapeutic response, dramatically increasing the reach of personalized medicine in cancer. Translational Relevance Most precision medicine research focuses on using targeted drugs on patients with known driver mutations, yet the majority of patients don’t have actionable mutations. Using a novel signature extraction method, we produce the Cisplatin Response Signature (CisSig) to predict how well patients with epithelial-origin tumors will respond to cisplatin, a common cytotoxic chemotherapy. We show that expression of CisSig is correlated to clinical trends of cisplatin use in treatment guidelines using independent tumor databases. Then, we look at preliminary validation of CisSig for use in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Using two independent cohorts of pre-treatment tumor samples, we show that a CisSig-trained model is predictive of overall survival in patients who did receive cisplatin, but this signal is lost in patients who did not receive cisplatin–indicating that the model is predictive of therapeutic response, not simply prognosis.

Study and Design of a Fast Start-Up Crystal Oscillator Using Precise Dithered Injection and Active Inductance (2019)

This paper presents a theoretical study and design of two techniques used to reduce start-up time (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">S</sub> ) and energy (E <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">S</sub> ) of Pierce crystal oscillator (XO). An analytical study of precise injection on a crystal resonator is introduced, and based on this paper, a relaxation oscillator with a dithered frequency is designed. Next, a study of negative resistance of XO's active circuitry and a method to boost its value beyond the limit set by a crystal static capacitor are presented. A gyrator-C active inductor with high linearity is developed to accelerate the start-up process by boosting the negative resistance. A prototype integrating these techniques is fabricated in a 180-nm CMOS process and shows a significant improvement compared with the prior art. Specifically, TS and ES are reduced by 102.7× and 2.9×, compared with the XO start-up with no assisting circuitry, to 18 μs and 114.5 nJ for a 48-MHz XO across a temperature range of -40 °C to 90 °C. The measured steady-state power and the phase noise of the XO are 180 μW and -135 dBc/Hz at 1-kHz offset.

Effect of Biodegradable Mulch Materials on Weed Control in Processing Tomatoes (2010)

Three years of field trials have been carried out in Zaragoza, Spain, using different biodegradable mulch materials in processing tomatoes. The aim was to evaluate weed control with several biodegradable mulches as alternatives to black polyethylene (PE) mulch. The treatments were rice straw, barley straw, maize harvest residue, absinth wormwood plants, black biodegradable plastic, brown kraft paper, PE, herbicide, manual weeding, and unweeded control. Assessments focused on weeds and on crop yield. A laboratory study showed that 1 kg/m 2 of organic mulch was sufficient to cover the soil for rice, barley straw, and maize harvest residue. The most abundant weed species in the field were purple nutsedge, common purslane, common lambsquarters, and large crabgrass and a change in weed composition was observed between treatments and years. Most weed species were controlled by the mulching materials except that purple nutsedge was controlled only by paper mulch. The other species were well controlled by PE and biodegradable plastic and also by some of the organic mulch treatments. Best weed control and lowest weed biomass were achieved by paper followed by PE and biodegradable plastic. The best organic mulch was rice straw and the worst weed control was from absinth wormwood. Tomato yield was highest for PE followed by paper, manual weeding, biodegradable plastic, and rice straw and was clearly related to weed control. Paper, biodegradable plastic, and rice straw are potential substitutes for PE and herbicides.

From Frequency to Meaning: Vector Space Models of Semantics (2010)

Computers understand very little of the meaning of human language. This profoundly limits our ability to give instructions to computers, the ability of computers to explain their actions to us, and the ability of computers to analyse and process text. Vector space models (VSMs) of semantics are beginning to address these limits. This paper surveys the use of VSMs for semantic processing of text. We organize the literature on VSMs according to the structure of the matrix in a VSM. There are currently three broad classes of VSMs, based on term-document, word-context, and pair-pattern matrices, yielding three classes of applications. We survey a broad range of applications in these three categories and we take a detailed look at a specific open source project in each category. Our goal in this survey is to show the breadth of applications of VSMs for semantics, to provide a new perspective on VSMs for those who are already familiar with the area, and to provide pointers into the literature for those who are less familiar with the field.
Reaction of Trialkylborane. II. The Reaction of Trialkylborane with Aromatic Nitro Compounds (1975)

Reaction of trialkylborane with nitrobenzene derivatives was examined. Reaction of nitrobenzene (I) and tricyclohexylborane (II) was found to proceed in ethanol or without a solvent and gave N-cyclohexylaniline (IIIa) and nitrosobenzene (IV), respectively reaction of II with IV yielded IIIa. Generally N-alkylaniline derivatives were obtained in analogous reaction. 4-Chloronitrobenzene (IX) gave azo or azoxy compound with N-alkyl-4-chloroaniline, and m-dinitrobenzene (XIV) gave m-dinitrobenzene (XV).
Novel Sol–Gel Nano‐Glass–Ceramics Comprising Ln3+‐Doped YF3 Nanocrystals: Structure and High Efficient UV Up‐Conversion (2011)

Abstract Transparent glass‐ceramics containing Ln 3+ ‐doped YF 3 nanocrystals are successfully obtained under adequate thermal treatment of precursor sol–gel glasses for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Precipitation of YF 3 nanocrystals is confirmed by X‐ray diffraction and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy images. An exhaustive structural analysis is carried out using Eu 3+ and Sm 3+ as probe ions of the final local environment in the nano‐structured glass–ceramic. Noticeable changes in luminescence spectra, related to relative intensity and Stark structure of band components, along with remarkably different lifetime values, allow us to discern between ions residing in precipitated YF 3 nanocrystals and those remaining in a glassy environment. A large fraction of optically active ions is efficiently partitioned into nanocrystals of small size, around 11 nm. Moreover, bright and efficient up‐conversion, including very intense high‐energy emissions in the UV range, due to 4‐ and 5‐infrared photon processes, are achieved in Yb 3+ –Tm 3+ co‐doped samples. Up‐conversion mechanisms are analysed in depth by means of intensity dependence on sensitiser Yb 3+ concentration and pump power.

Flavones inhibit proliferation and increase mediator content in human leukemic mast cells (HMC‐1) (2003)

These results indicate that certain flavonoids can inhibit HMC-1 proliferation, induce secretory granule development and the accumulation of mediators.
A recombinant sporozoite surface antigen of Theileria parva induces protection in cattle. (1992)

At present immunization against Theileria parva is by infection with live sporozoites and simultaneous treatment with a long-acting oxytetracycline. This method has major limitations in that live organisms are used and the immunity engendered is parasite stock specific. In an attempt to develop an alternative immunization procedure, the gene encoding p67, a major surface antigen of sporozoites, has been expressed by using the plasmid expression vector pMG1. The gene, which has been characterized previously, encodes 709 amino acid residues, contains a single intron of 29 base pairs, and is only transcribed during sporogony. The recombinant p67 sequences were fused to the first 85 amino acid residues derived from a nonstructural gene (NS1) of influenza virus A. Immunization with a partially purified recombinant antigen emulsified in 3% saponin induced sporozoite neutralizing antibodies in cattle and provided protection in six of nine animals on homologous challenge with T. parva sporozoites. This recombinant antigen is therefore a candidate for development of a vaccine against T. parva.
Influence of Charged Self-Assembled Monolayers on Single Nanoparticle Collision (2023)

Studying nanoparticle (NP)-electrode interactions in single nanoparticle collision events is critical to understanding dynamic processes such as nanoparticle motion, adsorption, oxidation, and catalytic activity, which are abundant on electrode surfaces. Herein, NP-electrode electrostatic interactions are studied by tracking the oxidation of AgNPs at Au microelectrodes functionalized with charged self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Tuning the charge of short alkanethiol-based monolayers and selecting AgNPs that can be partially or fully oxidized upon impact enabled probing the influence of attractive and repulsive NP-electrode electrostatic interactions on collision frequency, electron transfer, and nanoparticle sizing. We find that repulsive electrostatic interactions lead to a significant decrease in collision frequency and erroneous nanoparticle sizing. In stark difference, attractive electrostatic interactions dramatically increase the collision frequency and extend the sizing capability to larger nanoparticle sizes. Thus, these findings demonstrate how NP-monolayer interactions can be studied and manipulated by combining nanoimpact electrochemistry and functionalized SAMs.
Measurements of cross sections for the fusion-evaporation reactionsPu244(Ca48,xn)292−x114andCm245(Ca48,xn)293−x116 (2004)

We have studied the excitation functions of the reactions $^{244}\mathrm{Pu}$($^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$,$xn$). Maximum cross sections for the evaporation of 3--5 neutrons in the complete-fusion reaction $^{244}\mathrm{Pu+}^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ were measured to be ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{3n}=2\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{pb}$, ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{4n}=5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{pb}$, and ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{5n}=1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{pb}$. The decay properties of $3n$-evaporation product $^{289}114$, in the decay chains observed at low $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ energy coincide well with those previously observed in the $^{244}\mathrm{Pu+}^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ and $^{248}\mathrm{Cm+}^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ reactions and assigned to $^{288}114$. Two isotopes of element 114 and their descendant nuclei were identified for the first time at higher bombarding energies: $^{288}114$ (${E}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}=9.95\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{MeV}$, ${T}_{1∕2}=0.6\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{s}$) and $^{287}114$ (${E}_{\ensuremath{\alpha}}=10.04\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{MeV}$, ${T}_{1∕2}=1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{s}$). We also report on the observation of new isotopes of element 116, $^{290,291}116$, produced in the $^{245}\mathrm{Cm}+^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ reaction with cross sections of about $1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{pb}$. A discussion of self-consistent interpretations of all observed decay chains originating at $Z=118$, 116, and 114 is presented.

Quantum confined laser and optical amplifier structures based on quantum dots and dashes (QD) have been at the forefront of optoelectronics device research for several years. Owing to their superb optoelectronic properties such as wide gain bandwidth, low threshold current density, low α parameter and fast switching response, QD-based devices are expected to play a major role in future fibre optics systems and networks.
Wavelength dependence of ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography using supercontinuum for deep imaging (2020)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive cross-sectional imaging technique with micrometer resolution. We have been investigating ultrahigh-resolution (UHR)-OCT using supercontinuum. The characteristics of OCT imaging depend on the optical wavelength used. In order to investigate the wavelength dependence of UHR-OCT, the wideband, high-power, low-noise supercontinua were generated at wavelengths of 0.8, 1.1, 1.3, and 1.7 um based on ultrashort pulses and nonlinear fibers. The wavelength dependence of OCT imaging was examined quantitatively using biological phantoms and rat lung tissue. Then we developed UHR-spectral domain-OCT and optical coherence microscopy (OCM) at 1.7 um. The high-resolution and high-penetration imaging of mouse brain was demonstrated.

Injection Mode-Locked, Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser at 1319 nm (2010)

There is currently no laser source that can provide both efficient excitation of mesospheric sodium and allow removal of the effects of guide-star elongation, as required for multi-conjugate adaptive optics in next-generation extremely large telescopes. We describe a Q-switched 1319 nm Nd:YAG laser that is mode-locked by injecting a short pulse into the Q-switched laser. It produces Q-switched mode-locked pulses that are synchronized to an external source. We also discuss how such pulses at 1064 nm and 1319 nm can be used to generate pulsed sodium-resonant guide stars via sum frequency generation, and thus satisfy the above requirements.
Genetic variation of the blood coagulation regulator tissue factor pathway inhibitor and venous thromboembolism among middle‐aged and older adults: A population‐based cohort study (2022)

Rare qualifying <i>TFPI</i> variants were associated with VTE, suggesting that rare variants in <i>TFPI</i> contribute to the development of VTE. The qualifying <i>TFPI</i> gene variants were very rare, suggesting a constrained gene.
Accelerated Wirtinger Flow: A fast algorithm for ptychography (2018)

This paper presents a new algorithm, Accelerated Wirtinger Flow (AWF), for ptychographic image reconstruction from phaseless diffraction pattern measurements. AWF is based on combining Nesterov's acceleration approach with Wirtinger gradient descent. Theoretical results enable prespecification of all AWF algorithm parameters, with no need for computationally-expensive line searches and no need for manual parameter tuning. AWF is evaluated in the context of simulated X-ray ptychography, where we demonstrate fast convergence and low per-iteration computational complexity. We also show examples where AWF reaches higher image quality with less computation than classical algorithms. AWF is also shown to have robustness to noise and probe misalignment.
