High temperature corrosion during use of chlorine containing coal. Annual technical report, September 1, 1991--August 31, 1992 (1992)

The goal of this project is to characterize the role of chlorine in coal on the high temperature corrosion processes which can occur in coal combustion. The experiment laboratory tests performed in well-controlled high temperature conversion processes. The experiments include laboratory tests performed in well-controlled high temperature environments and field tests in industrial coat fired boilers. Evaluation of samples of boiler tubes which have been recovered from boilers which used both high and low chlorine coals does not indicate that the higher chlorine levels are associated with accelerated corrosion of either water wall tubes or superheater tubes in pulverized coal boilers. Laboratory testing of metal coupons in combustion gas environments produced from low sulfur, high chlorine coal IBC-109 and high sulfur-low chlorine coat IBC-101 has been performed between 600{degree}C (1112{degree}F) and 800{degree}C (1472{degree}F). More overall corrosion is produced in the high sulfur environment than in the high chlorine environment. HCl additions of 1000 ppM to Ar-20%CO{sub 2}-3%H{sub 2}O accelerate the oxidation of ferritic steels at 600{degree}C but additions of 330 ppM HCl have no measurable effect. Internal attack in CO{sub 2} containing environments at 800{degree}C of the austenitic alloys 800 and 310 stainless steel is accelerated by the presence ofmore » Cl{sub 2} but HCl has much less effect. Both of these results imply that chlorine accelerated corrosion is not likely to occur at chlorine levels typical of Illinois coals.« less
A transcriptional network underlies susceptibility to kidney disease progression (2012)

The molecular networks that control the progression of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) are poorly defined. We have recently shown that the susceptibility to development of renal lesions after nephron reduction is controlled by a locus on mouse chromosome 6 and requires epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation. Here, we identified microphthalmia-associated transcription factor A (MITF-A), a bHLH-Zip transcription factor, as a modifier of CKD progression. Sequence analysis revealed a strain-specific mutation in the 5' UTR that decreases MITF-A protein synthesis in lesion-prone friend virus B NIH (FVB/N) mice. More importantly, we dissected the molecular pathway by which MITF-A modulates CKD progression. MITF-A interacts with histone deacetylases to repress the transcription of TGF-α, a ligand of EGFR, and antagonizes transactivation by its related partner, transcription factor E3 (TFE3). Consistent with the key role of this network in CKD, Tgfa gene inactivation protected FVB/N mice from renal deterioration after nephron reduction. These data are relevant to human CKD, as we found that the TFE3/MITF-A ratio was increased in patients with damaged kidneys. Our study uncovers a novel transcriptional network and unveils novel potential prognostic and therapeutic targets for preventing human CKD progression.

Reduksi Feedback Implosion pada Reliable Multicast Protocol Menggunakan Backup Node Terdistribusi (2014)

Salah satu masalah dalam pengiriman data secara massal, seperti pendistribusian update perangkat lunak, adalah pemborosan bandwidth. IP multicast yang reliabel dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai solusi dalam mengatasi permasalahan ini, namun IP multicast yang reliabel memiliki peluang feedback implosion yang besar ketika terdapat paket yang hilang dalam jumlah besar. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis mengemukakan sebuah metode untuk meminimalisir kemunculan negative-acknowledgment (NAK) agar dapat menekan peluang terjadinya feedback implosion. Pada metode ini, tiap node dalam sebuah multicast group akan memetakan node lain yang berdasarkan tingkat reliabilitas dan menjadikannya sebagai backup node. Reliabilitas ini diukur berdasarkan besarnya ketersediaan bandwidth dan packet loss pada jaringan. Node yang mengalami packet loss, akan mengirimkan NAK ke backup node sesuai dengan urutan reliabilitasnya. Tujuannya agar tidak terjadi bottleneck di node pengirim, sehingga dapat menurunkan pengiriman NAK yang sama berulang kali. Dari hasil percobaan, terbukti metode ini dapat menurunkan total NAK yang dikirimkan dengan cara mengurangi peluang bottleneck pada node pengirim sehingga dapat meningkatkan peluang terbalasnya NAK dan menurunkan jumlah pengiriman ulang NAK dengan signifikan. Kata Kunciâ€”IP multicast, reliabel, feedback implosion, NAK, backup node, ketersediaan bandwidth, packet loss.
Stimulation of Adenosine A3Receptors in Cerebral Ischemia: Neuronal Death, Recovery, or Both? (1999)

The role of the adenosine A3 receptor continues to baffle, and, despite an increasing number of studies, the currently available data add to, rather than alleviate, the existing confusion. The reported effects of adenosine A3 receptor stimulation appear to depend on the pattern of drug administration (acute vs. chronic), dose, and type of the target tissue. Thus, while acute exposure to A3 receptor agonists protects against myocardial ischemia, it is severely damaging when these agents are given shortly prior to cerebral ischemia. Mast cells degranulate when their A3 receptors are stimulated. Degranulation of neutrophils is, on the other hand, impaired. While reduced production of reactive nitrogen species has been reported following activation of A3 receptors in collagen-induced arthritis, the process appears to be enhanced in cerebral ischemia. Indeed, immunocytochemical studies indicate that both pre- and postischemic treatment with A3 receptor antagonist dramatically reduces nitric oxide synthase in the affected hippocampus. Even more surprisingly, low doses of A3 receptor agonists seem to enhance astrocyte proliferation, while high doses induce their apoptosis. This review concentrates on the studies of cerebral A3 receptors and, based on the available evidence, discusses the possibility of adenosine A3 receptor serving as an integral element of the endogenous cerebral neuroprotective complex consisting of adenosine and its receptors.
Are You Talking to a Machine? Dataset and Methods for Multilingual Image Question Answering (2015)

In this paper, we present the mQA model, which is able to answer questions about the content of an image. The answer can be a sentence, a phrase or a single word. Our model contains four components: a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to extract the question representation, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to extract the visual representation, an LSTM for storing the linguistic context in an answer, and a fusing component to combine the information from the first three components and generate the answer. We construct a Freestyle Multilingual Image Question Answering (FM-IQA) dataset to train and evaluate our mQA model. It contains over 150,000 images and 310,000 freestyle Chinese question-answer pairs and their English translations. The quality of the generated answers of our mQA model on this dataset is evaluated by human judges through a Turing Test. Specifically, we mix the answers provided by humans and our model. The human judges need to distinguish our model from the human. They will also provide a score (i.e. 0, 1, 2, the larger the better) indicating the quality of the answer. We propose strategies to monitor the quality of this evaluation process. The experiments show that in 64.7% of cases, the human judges cannot distinguish our model from humans. The average score is 1.454 (1.918 for human). The details of this work, including the FM-IQA dataset, can be found on the project page: http://idl.baidu.com/FM-IQA.html
Morning-evening variation in human brain metabolism and memory circuits (2012)

It has been posited that a critical function of sleep is synaptic renormalization following a net increase in synaptic strength during wake. We hypothesized that wake would alter the resting-state functional organization of the brain and increase its metabolic cost. To test these hypotheses, two experiments were performed. In one, we obtained morning and evening resting-state functional MRI scans to assess changes in functional brain organization. In the second experiment, we obtained quantitative positron emission tomography measures of glucose and oxygen consumption to assess the cost of wake. We found selective changes in brain organization. Most prominently, bilateral medial temporal regions were locally connected in the morning but in the evening exhibited strong correlations with frontal and parietal brain regions involved in memory retrieval. We speculate that these changes may reflect aspects of memory consolidation recurring on a daily basis. Surprisingly, these changes in brain organization occurred without increases in brain metabolism.
Detection of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Asymptomatic Subjects Using Ultrasound Radiofrequency-Tracking Technology (2014)

The carotid IMT and stiffness parameters obtained by the ultrasound RF-tracking technology were demonstrated to possess significant statistical correlation with the number of risk factors from 160 subjects, and these anatomical and mechanical parameters may potentially be used together with the IMT criteria to support subclinical atherosclerosis diagnosis.
Production of Compensation Free SOG Silicon Feedstock by Metallurgical Refinement (2012)

New metallurgical refining process of Si reach to 7N purity is developed in commercial production base. The presented process consists of B reduction by oxidation, P reduction by vacuum and metal reduction by directional solidification. Obtained impurity level of B is &lt; 0.2ppmw and P is &lt; 0.2ppmw, and their fluctuations are enough small to adjust resistivity around 0.8~1.5 ohm cm in user's P-type cast block. Metal impurities are also less than 0.1ppmw. For the sake of low B and P, and its nugget shape, user can use this solar grade feedstock as same as Si made by the Siemens method. And also, because of low precipitates origin elements O, C and N, mono crystal can be grown from this feedstock. To utilize these advantages, NS Solar Material Co., Ltd. started 500 ton/year plant in 2007 and has continued to produce the compensation free SOG Si feedstock.
Genetic determinants of growth hormone and GH-related phenotypes (2017)

In the first GWAS ever for GH, we identify a novel locus on chromosome 17 associated with fasting GH levels, suggesting novel biological mechanisms behind GH secretion and GH-related traits. The candidate gene approach identified a genetic variant in the GHR, which was associated with an elevation of fasting hs-GH and lower height suggesting reduced GHR ligand sensitivity. Our findings need further replication.
Impact of contact and local interconnect scaling on logic performance (2014)

We perform a comparative analysis of metal-Si and metal-insulator-Si (MIS) contacts and quantify the impact of the contact/via resistances on logic performance. Our results show that silicide contacts account for 32% degradation in the ON current of an nFinFET (I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ON</sub> ) compared to ideal contact. MIS contacts which lead to lowering of Schottky barrier height provide 12% performance gain at iso-energy. Technology scaling to 5 nm will make MIS contact contribute 35% to the overall extrinsic resistance, with metal resistance contribution rising to 20%.
10th International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control and Human Machine Interface Technologies, San Francisco, CA, USA, June 11–15, 2017 (2017)

As part of the ongoing efforts at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program, Idaho National Laboratory is conducting several pilot projects in collaboration with the nuclear industry to improve the reliability, safety, and economics of the nuclear power industry, especially as the nuclear power plants extend their operating licenses to 80 years. One of these pilot projects is the automated work package (AWP) pilot project. An AWP is an electronic intelligent and interactive work package. It uses plant condition, resources status, and user progress to adaptively drive the work process in a manner that increases efficiency while reducing human error. To achieve this mission, the AWP acquires information from various systems of a nuclear power plant’s and incorporates several advanced instrumentation and control technologies along with modern human factors techniques. With the current rapid technological advancement, it is possible to envision several available or soon-to-be-available capabilities that can play a significant role in improving the work package process. As a pilot project, the AWP project develops a prototype of an expanding set of capabilities and evaluates them in an industrial environment. While some of the proposed capabilities are based on using technological advances in other applications, others are conceptual; thus, require significant research and development to be applicable in an AWP. The scope of this paper is to introduce a set of envisioned capabilities, their need for the industry, and the industry difficulties they resolve.
Optical image correlator using orthogonal data storage (1994)

A compact optical image correlator using orthogonal, wavelength multiplexed Fourier transform holograms recorded in a photorefractive crystal has been demonstrated. Cross-correlation and auto-correlation measurements were obtained using randomly selected test images against the set of reference images stored in the orthogonal data storage volume hologram. Over 40 holograms were written in the 645 to 651 nm wavelength range with &gt;2% diffraction efficiency and 1.5 A wavelength separation. A low power tunable external cavity semiconductor laser was used for readout, further demonstrating the portability of this approach. The input image translation tolerances on the correlation output and the effect of using partial images during readout were also investigated.

SDIGraph: Graph-based management for converged heterogeneous resources in SDI (2016)

In Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI), a network topology consists of many converged heterogeneous resources, both physical and virtual, for computing and networking. However, the network topology is dynamic due to various physical and logical activities such as addition of new racks, VM addition/deletion/migration, and network creation/modification/deletion. In this paper we propose SDIGraph, which is a graph-based topology management service, for such dynamic, converged, and heterogeneous infrastructure resources in SDI. For modeling the topology, we use a graph model for representing converged heterogeneous resources and their associations. We also use a graph database to enable us to efficiently store resources and to make queries based on graph traversal and indexing. We develop a prototype for how to get a network topology in the SAVI Testbed which is an operational facility based on SDI deployed over much of Canada.
A Low-Power High-PSRR Low-Dropout Regulator With Bulk-Gate Controlled Circuit (2010)

In this brief, we presented a bulk-gate controlled circuit for improving a power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of a low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO), which deteriorated due to lowering of a power consumption. A test chip was fabricated using a 0.18-¿m complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor process, and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed circuit provides the PSRR that improved to 77 dB at 10 Hz and 64.3 dB at 1 kHz, while the consumption current of the whole LDO with all component circuits was 8.5 ¿A without a load and 35 ¿A with a full load.
Concurrence of Intraoperative Hypotension, Low Minimum Alveolar Concentration, and Low Bispectral Index Is Associated with Postoperative Death (2015)

There is a weak independent association between the triple low state and postoperative mortality, and the propensity-matched analysis does not suggest that this is an epiphenomenon.
Evolving connectionist systems: A theory and a case study on adaptive speech recognition (2003)

The paper introduces evolving connectionist systems (ECOS) as an effective approach to building online adaptive intelligent systems. ECOS evolve through incremental, hybrid (supervised/unsupervised), online learning. They can accommodate new input data, including new features, new classes, etc. through local element tuning. New connections and new neurons are created during the operation of the system. The ECOS framework is presented and illustrated on a particular type of evolving neural networks-evolving fuzzy neural network (EFuNN). EFuNN can learn spatial-temporal sequences in an adaptive way, through one pass learning. Rules can be inserted and extracted at any time of the system operation. The characteristics of ECOS and EFuNN are illustrated on a case study of adaptive, phoneme-based spoken language recognition.
Pixel Resolution Improvement using a Sliding Mask (PRISM) (2016)

Traditional imaging systems utilize very large format focal plane arrays (FPAs) to produce high resolution digital images. High definition visible band FPAs are relatively inexpensive and abound in commercial cameras. However for other applications such as infra-red imaging, FPAs are still expensive due inherent limits on yield and fabrication processes. In such cases, digital super-resolution techniques have proven useful for enhancing resolution by combining multiple low resolution images with sub-pixel shifts [1]. However, such techniques cannot improve the spatial resolution much beyond a factor of two (or thereabouts) due to the nulls in the detector’s spatial frequency response.
Maximization of layout printability/manufacturability by extreme layout regularity (2006)

In the past, complying with design rules was sufficient to ensure acceptable yields for a design. However, for sub 100nm designs, this approach tends to create patterns which cannot be reliably printed for a given optical setup, thus leading to hot-spots and systematic yield failures. The recent challenges faced by both the design and process communities call for a paradigm shift whereby circuits are constructed from a small set of lithography friendly patterns which have previously been extensively characterized and ensured to print reliably. In this paper, we describe the use of a regular design fabric for defining the underlying silicon geometries of the circuit. While the direct application of this methodology to the current ASIC design flow would result in unnecessary area and performance overhead, we overcome these penalties via a unique design flow that ensures shape-level regularity by reducing the number of required logic functions as much as possible as part of the top-down design flow. It will be shown that with a small set of Boolean functions and careful selection of lithography friendly patterns, we not only mitigate but essentially eliminate such penalties. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of using extremely regular designs constructed from a limited set of lithography friendly patterns not only to improve manufacturability but also to relax the pessimistic constraints defined by design rules. Specifically we introduce the basis for the use of "pushed-rules" for logic design as is commonly done for SRAM designs. This in turn facilitates a common OPC methodology for logic and SRAM. Moreover, by taking advantage of this newfound manufacturability and predictability of regular circuits, we will show that the performance of logic built upon regular fabrics can surpass that of seemingly more arbitrarily constructed logic.

The 5' flanking sequences of two S alleles in Lycopersicon peruvianum are highly heterologous but contain short blocks of homologous sequences. (1995)

To characterize the molecular structure of the S alleles in Lycopersicon peruvianum, we isolated two genomic fragments that corresponded to cDNAs for S11 and S12 RNases from a genomic library of a plant with the S11S12 genotype. The coding regions and the flanking regions in both fragments were sequenced. A single short intron was found in each gene for RNase, and it was located in the previously identified HV2 region [Chung et al. (1994) Plant Mol. Biol. 26: 757]. The site of initiation of transcription of the gene for S11 RNase was determined by a primer extension analysis and a putative TATA box was identified. Three short sequences that were highly homologous in the two S alleles were found within 360 bp upstream of the ATG initiation codon. It is suggested that these sequences might be involved in the regulation of transcription required for the appropriate-level or tissue-specific expression of the S genes in L. peruvianum.
