OS Scheduling Algorithms for Improving the Performance of Multithreaded Workloads (2018)

Major chip manufacturers have all introduced multicore microprocessors. Multi-socket systems built from these processors are used for running various server applications. However to the best of our knowledge current commercial operating systems are not optimized for multi-threaded workloads running on such servers. Cache-to-cache transfers and remote memory accesses impact the performance of such workloads. This paper presents a unified approach to optimizing OS scheduling algorithms for both cache-to-cache transfers and remote DRAM accesses that also takes cache affinity into account. By observing the patterns of local and remote cache-to-cache transfers as well as local and remote DRAM accesses for every thread in each scheduling quantum and applying different algorithms, we come up with a new schedule of threads for the next quantum taking cache affinity into account. This new schedule cuts down both remote cache-to-cache transfers and remote DRAM accesses for the next scheduling quantum and improves overall performance. We present two algorithms of varying complexity for optimizing cache-to-cache transfers. One of these is a new algorithm which is relatively simpler and performs better when combined with algorithms that optimize remote DRAM accesses. For optimizing remote DRAM accesses we present two algorithms. Though both algorithms differ in algorithmic complexity we find that for our workloads they perform equally well. We used three different synthetic workloads to evaluate these algorithms. We also performed sensitivity analysis with respect to varying remote cache-to-cache transfer latency and remote DRAM latency. We show that these algorithms can cut down overall latency by up to 16.79% depending on the algorithm used.
Increased Efficiency for Performing Colony Formation Assays in 96-well Plates: Novel Applications to Combination Therapies And High-Throughput Screening (2008)

The colony formation assay (CFA) is the gold standard for measuring the effects of cytotoxic agents on cancer cells in vitro; however, in its traditional 6-well format, it is a time-consuming assay, particularly when evaluating combination therapies. In the interest of increased efficiency, the 6-well CFA was converted to a 96-well format using an automated colony counting algorithm. The 96-well CFA was validated using ionizing radiation therapy on the FaDu (human hypopharyngeal squamous cell) and A549 (human lung) cancer cell lines. Its ability to evaluate combination therapies was investigated by the generation of dose-response curves for the combination of cisplatin and radiation therapy on FaDu and A549 cells. The 96-well CFA was then transferred to a robotic platform for evaluating its potential as a high-throughput screening (HTS) readout. The LOPAC1280 library was screened against FaDu cells, and eight putative hits were identified. Using the 96-well CFA to validate the eight putative chemicals, six of the eight were confirmed, resulting in a positive hit rate of 75%. These data indicate that the 96-well CFA can be adopted as an efficient alternative assay to the 6-well CFA in evaluating single and combination therapies in vitro, providing a possible readout that could be used on a HTS platform.
Pathobiology of vulvar squamous neoplasia (1997)

Vulvar squamous carcinoma is an uncommon neoplasm that afflicts a spectrum of women and has been associated with granulomatous vulvar diseases, papillomaviruses, and chronic inflammatory disorders of the vulva. Histopathological, molecular, and epidemiological studies have revealed two subsets of vulvar squamous neoplasia, which are distinguished by their association with human papillomaviruses and patient demographics. This review summarizes the evidence both supporting the diverse pathogenesis of these tumors and the existence of factors that may be common to both groups. Ultimately, the pathway to both human papillomavirus positive and negative vulvar cancers may involve not only obvious precancerous changes but also biological events in the vulvar mucosa that precede the onset of morphological atypia.
Increased EEG gamma band activity in Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment (2008)

High frequency (30-70 Hz) gamma band oscillations in the human electro-encephalogram (EEG) are thought to reflect perceptual and cognitive processes. It is therefore interesting to study these measures in cognitive impairment and dementia. To evaluate gamma band oscillations as a diagnostic biomarker in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 15 psychoactive drug naïve AD patients, 20 MCI patients and 20 healthy controls participated in this study. Gamma band power (GBP) was measured in four conditions viz. resting state, music listening, story listening and visual stimulation. To evaluate test-retest reliability (TRR), subjects underwent a similar assessment one week after the first. The overall TRR was high. Elevated GBP was observed in AD when compared to MCI and control subjects in all conditions. The results suggest that elevated GBP is a reproducible and sensitive measure for cognitive dysfunction in AD in comparison with MCI and controls.
10 fs ultrafast all-optical switching in polystyrene nonlinear photonic crystals (2009)

An ultrafast all-optical switching with the response time on the order of 10 fs is demonstrated in a three-dimensional opal polystyrene nonlinear photonic crystal by means of precise femtosecond pump-probe technique. The switching is realized by the shift in the photonic band gap under external optical pumping of 8 fs Ti:sapphire pulse laser with a peak pump power of 20.6 GW/cm2. The good performance of optical switching is attributed to the very strong and fast Kerr nonlinear optical response of the polystyrene material.
The recurrence and progression risk after simultaneous endoscopic surgery of urothelial bladder tumour and benign prostatic hyperplasia: a systematic review and meta‐analysis (2020)

We did not observe any increased risk of total bladder recurrence, BN/PU recurrence, or progression after a simultaneous endoscopic surgery of bladder tumour and BPH, as compared to TURBT alone.
Commercial and Experimental Organic Insecticides (1969 Revision) (1969)

Entomologists and others concerned with insecticides and related materials and their uses are constantly confronted with the problem of keeping abreast of current developments on the subject of the chemical control of certain insects, other arthropods and similar pest animals. It is as important to identify the “species” of an insecticide as it is the species of an insect when attempting to effect control.

An integrated nonlinear optical loop mirror in silicon photonics for all-optical signal processing (2018)

The nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) has been studied for several decades and has attracted considerable attention for applications in high data rate optical communications and all-optical signal processing. The majority of NOLM research has focused on silica fiber-based implementations. While various fiber designs have been considered to increase the nonlinearity and manage dispersion, several meters to hundreds of meters of fiber are still required. On the other hand, there is increasing interest in developing photonic integrated circuits for realizing signal processing functions. In this paper, we realize the first-ever passive integrated NOLM in silicon photonics and demonstrate its application for all-optical signal processing. In particular, we show wavelength conversion of 10 Gb/s return-to-zero on-off keying (RZ-OOK) signals over a wavelength range of 30 nm with error-free operation and a power penalty of less than 2.5 dB, we achieve error-free nonreturn to zero (NRZ)-to-RZ modulation format conversion at 10 Gb/s also with a power penalty of less than 2.8 dB, and we obtain error-free all-optical time-division demultiplexing of a 40 Gb/s RZ-OOK data signal into its 10 Gb/s tributary channels with a maximum power penalty of 3.5 dB.

Invertible Subset QC-LDPC Codes for PAPR Reduction of OFDM Signals (2015)

A type of invertible subset low density parity-check (IS-LDPC) codes was proposed to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems with low complexity recently, where the key idea is that each invertible subset can be independently inverted to generate other valid codewords of the LDPC code. In this paper, we firstly extend the idea of invertible subsets to quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) codes, and this new family of QC-LDPC codes is called as invertible subset QC-LDPC (IS-QC-LDPC) codes. Moreover, we propose two types of subset partitioning and deeply discuss the properties of IS-QC-LDPC codes with different subset partitioning. After declaring that interleaved partitioning is more appropriate for IS-QC-LDPC codes than the block partitioning, we propose a novel progressive edge graph-like algorithm to construct good IS-QC-LDPC codes with interleaved partitioning. The simulation results show that the IS-QC-LDPC codes exhibit good error-correcting performance, which is very close to that of the corresponding QC-LDPC codes of the IEEE 802.16e, for a wide range of subset number.
Systematic Design and Demonstration of Flat-band Finite- size Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguides (2007)

Using techniques in LC circuit filters, a systematic method for the design of flat-band finite-size coupled-resonator-optical-waveguides (CROWs) are developed. Based on this theory, finite-size CROWs with flat-band spectrum on silicon-on-insulator platform are fabricated and demonstrated.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Campus Radionuclide Air Emissions Report for Calendar Year 2013 (2014)

This report documents radionuclide air emissions that result in the highest effective dose equivalent (EDE) to a member of the public, referred to as the maximally exposed individual (MEI). The report has been prepared in compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 40, Protection of the Environment, Part 61, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Subpart H, National Emission Standards for Emissions of Radionuclides Other than Radon from Department of Energy Facilities and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Chapter 246-247, Radiation Protection Air Emissions. The dose to the PNNL Site MEI due to routine major and minor point source emissions in 2013 from PNNL Site sources is 2E-05 mrem (2E-07 mSv) EDE. The dose from fugitive emissions (i.e., unmonitored sources) is 2E-6 mrem (2E-8 mSv) EDE. The dose from radon emissions is 1E-11 mrem (1E-13 mSv) EDE. No nonroutine emissions occurred in 2013. The total radiological dose for 2013 to the MEI from all PNNL Site radionuclide emissions, including fugitive emissions and radon, is 2E-5 mrem (2E-7 mSv) EDE, or 100,000 times smaller than the federal and state standard of 10 mrem/yr, to which the PNNL Site is in compliance
A Novel Compact HTS Interdigital Bandpass Filter Using CPW Quarter-Wavelength Resonators (2006)

A novel high temperature superconducting interdigital bandpass filter is proposed by using coplanar waveguide quarter-wavelength resonators. The CPW resonators are arranged in parallel, and consequently the filter becomes very compact. The filter is a 5-pole Chebyshev BPF with a midband frequency of 5.0 GHz and an equal-ripple fractional bandwidth of 3.2%. It is fabricated using a YBCO film deposited on an MgO substrate. The measured filtering characteristics agree well with EM simulations and show a low insertion loss in spite of the small size of the filter.
Dielectric Properties of Glasses in the LiF-Li2O-Al(PO3)3System (1984)

Electrical and electrochemical characterization of the ionic conductors to be used in advanced electrochemical devices is generally carried out by complex impedance/admittance analysis which separates electrode polarisation effect from the bulk properties of the conductor. The characteristic frequency dispersion in the bulk of the vitreous electrolyte can also be examined by electric modulus which is the inverse of complex permittivity. The modulus spectra of the glasses in the LiF-Li2O-Al(PO3)3 system have been studied over wide ranges of frequency (100 Hz-10M Hz) and temperature (25°–200°C), using three different electrode materials (Ag, C, Li). An interesting feature of these modulus spectra is the appearance of a nearly perfect Debye peak indicative of a single relaxation process. This has been explained in terms of charge carrier density. The dielectric constant and the loss tangent of the glasses have also been calculated. An abrupt rise of dielectric constant at lower frequencies has been explained by space charge theory and the maximum!? the loss tangent for blocking electrodes (silver and graphite) has been attributed to the inter-facial polarisation.
A MAC protocol supporting IP with QoS guarantees in a wireless local loop (2003)

In this paper we propose an IP-based wireless local loop system for the support of different services (fast Internet access, data, voice and video conference) with high data rate and high QoS. We consider the access structure that derives from the adoption of the multicarrier-CDMA technology and we define a MAC protocol suitable to support quality of service requirements for a number of different classes, consistently with what is envisioned for the integrated services architecture of future IP networks. In this context interworking with reservation protocols (like RSVP) is assumed.
Preliminary in Vivo Evaluation of a Hybrid Armored Vascular Graft Combining Electrospinning and Additive Manufacturing Techniques (2016)

In this study, we tested in vivo effectiveness of a previously developed poly-l-lactide/poly-ε-caprolactone armored vascular graft releasing heparin. This bioprosthesis was designed in order to overcome the main drawbacks of tissue-engineered vascular grafts, mainly concerning poor mechanical properties, thrombogenicity, and endothelialization. The bioprosthesis was successfully implanted in an aortic vascular reconstruction model in rabbits. All grafts implanted were patent at four weeks postoperatively and have been adequately populated by endogenous cells without signs of thrombosis or structural failure and with no need of antiplatelet therapy. The results of this preliminary study might warrant for further larger controlled in vivo studies to further confirm these findings.
Light-triggering phenomena on thyristors with an n-emitter layer over the light-sensitive gate area (1986)

Turn-on phenomena of a light-activated thyristor are analyzed using a one-dimensional numerical model that consists of the full set of semiconductor device equations, including the optically generated current and the effect of the shorted emitter. Results indicate that the photocurrent I <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</inf> is induced by photovoltaic effects of the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n_{E}-p_{B}</tex> junction and that its flow is in the reverse direction of the anode current I <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">A</inf> . Consequently, I <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">p</inf> circulates through the p-base, the short path placed across the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n_{E}-p_{B}</tex> junction and the n-emitter resulting in a contribution to the light triggering, in addition to that of I <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">A</inf> caused by the conventional <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">P_{B}-n_{E}-p_{E}</tex> transistor action. In order to confirm the predicted behavior of the photocurrents, light-triggered 4-kV devices were fabricated. The experimental results thus obtained confirm the conclusions drawn from the model analysis.

The role of anisotropy in the Maxwell Garnett and Bruggeman formalisms for uniaxial particulate composite media (1997)

A particulate composite medium in which the host and the spherical inclusions are made of uniaxial dielectric - magnetic media with parallel crystallographic axes is considered. The polarizability dyadics of a single inclusion are obtained, showing in detail the significant role played therein by the degree of anisotropy of the host medium. The derived expressions are used to set up the Maxwell Garnett and the Bruggeman formalisms for homogenization of the particulate composite medium. Numerical results are presented to show that the degree of anisotropy of the homogenized composite medium (HCM) is a non-trivial function of the degrees of anisotropy of the constituent media. Shifts in axial and transverse Fröhlich resonances are also predicted.

Impaired immune function in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum. (1985)

The development of contact allergy in sun-exposed skin is markedly impaired in patients with xeroderma pigmentosum as compared to the responses in healthy control subjects. The degree of this immunological impairment is directly related to the severity of the cutaneous disease. These findings raise the possibility that sunlight-induced alterations of immune function may be involved in the marked susceptibility of these patients to the development of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
Holographic components for integrated-optic waveguide devices (1992)

The use of holographic components (gratings) in integrated devices is very advantageous because complex functions can be realized with a minimum number of components. Such single gratings can have various compound functions of wavefront conversion such as beam splitting, deflection, input/output coupling, focusing, and wavelength division. The grooves of these gratings are not simply straight, but curved with different curvatures and different periods. To fabricate these gratings, we have developed a specially designed EB writing system for this purpose. The system can specify 2 × 10 16 computer-generated data points over a 1 mm × 1 mm area with 0.3 μm resolution. One typical example is a focusing grating coupler (FGC) for an integrated-optic disk pickup. The FGC is designed to have approximately 2,000 curved grooves over the aperture of 1 mm 2 and the focal length of 2 mm at a wavelength of 0.78 μm on a glass/ SiO 2 /Si waveguide. Diffraction efficiency is estimated to be 60% for the optimum groove height of 35 nm. The IO disk pickup has been implemented and the fundamental functions have been experimentally confirmed. Several other grating-based waveguide devices will be discussed.
Patterns of Post-thyroidectomy Hemorrhage (2009)

The post-thyroidectomy hemorrhage had some different clinical patterns between the superficial cases and the deep cases, showing that life-threatening airway obstruction occurred from the deep hematoma. A thorough understanding of the clinical patterns of post-thyroidectomy hemorrhage between the cases of superficial and those cases of deep hematoma may provide valuable surgical tips to manage this potentially lethal complication.
