Self-test methodology for at-speed test of crosstalk in chip interconnects (2000)

The effect of crosstalk errors is most significant in high-performance circuits, mandating at-speed testing for crosstalk defects. This paper describes a self-test methodology that we have developed to enable on-chip at-speed testing of crosstalk defects in System-on-Chip interconnects. The self-test methodology is based on the Maximal Aggressor Fault Model [13], that enables testing of the interconnect with a linear number of test patterns. To enable self-testing of the interconnects, we have designed efficient on-chip test generators and error detectors to be embedded in necessary cores; while the test generators generate test vectors for crosstalk faults, the error detectors analyze the transmission of the test sequences received from the interconnects, and detect any transmission errors. We have also designed test controllers to initiate and manage test transactions by activating the appropriate test generators and error detectors, and having error diagnosis capability. We have developed, simulated, and synthesized parameterized HDL models of the self-test structures. We have applied the self-test methodology to test crosstalk defects in the buses of a DSP chip. Using a new high-level crosstalk simulation technique, we have validated the self-test methodology, including the self-test structures inserted in the DSP chip.
On the description of the collision terms in three-valley hydrodynamic models for GaAs device modeling (1994)

A reduced set of transport parameters is proposed for the collision terms of the three-valley hydrodynamic model which is a faster alternative to ensemble Monte Carlo simulations. The predictions of the proposed model have been found to be in excellent agreement with transient ensemble Monte Carlo data. The reduction in the number of the transport parameters makes the model relatively easy to implement with substantial accuracy. The transport parameters which are of interest in semiclassical device modeling are presented as a function of electron energy.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
A note on block sequences in Hilbert space (2008)

Block sequences with respect to frames in Hilbert spaces have been defined. Examples have been provided to show that a block sequence with respect to a given frame may not even be a Bessel sequence. Also, a necessary and sufficient condition under which a block sequence with respect to a frame is a frame has been given. Further, applications of block sequences to obtain Fusion frames and Fusion frame systems have been given. Finally, a problem has been posed and observed that an affirmative answer to this problem gives an affirmative answer to the Feichtinger Conjecture.

Preparation of Silver/Chitosan Nanofluids Using Selected Plant Extracts: Characterization and Antimicrobial Studies against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria (2020)

Chitosan/silver nanofluids were prepared using <i>Phoenix</i> <i>dactylifera</i> (DPLE) or <i>Rumex</i> <i>vesicarius</i> (HEL) extracts as the reducing agent, characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The antimicrobial effect of the nanofluids against Gram positive, Bacillus licheniformis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Bacillus cereus, and Micrococcus luteus, and Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas citronellolis, and Escherichia coli bacteria has been studied. The nanoparticles were polydispersed in the chitosan matrix and are highly stable. The zeta potential of the silver nanoparticles in DPLE- and HEL-mediated composites is +46 mV and +56 mV, respectively. The FTIR results reveal that the free carboxylate groups in the plant biomaterial took part in stabilization process. HEL is a stronger reducing agent than DPLE and nanoparticles generated with HEL are smaller (8.0-36 nm) than those produced with DPLE (10-43 nm). DPLE- and HEL-mediated composites effectively inhibit the growth of the studied bacteria but HEL-mediated composite exhibited higher effect. The higher antimicrobial activity of HEL-mediated composite is linked to the smaller nanoparticles. The foregoing results indicate that HEL extract can be used in the green production of potential antimicrobial chitosan/silver nanofluids for biomedical and packaging applications.
Classifier Technology and the Illusion of Progress (2006)

A great many tools have been developed for supervised classification, ranging from early methods such as linear discriminant analysis through to modern developments such as neural networks and support vector machines. A large number of comparative studies have been conducted in attempts to establish the relative superiority of these methods. This paper argues that these comparisons often fail to take into account important aspects of real problems, so that the apparent superiority of more sophisticated methods may be something of an illusion. In particular, simple methods typically yield performance almost as good as more sophisticated methods, to the extent that the difference in performance may be swamped by other sources of uncertainty that generally are not considered in the classical supervised classification paradigm.
Arabidopsis GLUTAMINE-RICH PROTEIN23Is Essential for Early Embryogenesis and Encodes a Novel Nuclear PPR Motif Protein That Interacts with RNA Polymerase II Subunit III (2006)

Precise control of gene expression is critical for embryo development in both animals and plants. We report that Arabidopsis thaliana GLUTAMINE-RICH PROTEIN23 (GRP23) is a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein that functions as a potential regulator of gene expression during early embryogenesis in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-function mutations of GRP23 caused the arrest of early embryo development. The vast majority of the mutant embryos arrested before the 16-cell dermatogen stage, and none of the grp23 embryos reached the heart stage. In addition, 19% of the mutant embryos displayed aberrant cell division patterns. GRP23 encodes a polypeptide with a Leu zipper domain, nine PPRs at the N terminus, and a Gln-rich C-terminal domain with an unusual WQQ repeat. GRP23 is a nuclear protein that physically interacts with RNA polymerase II subunit III in both yeast and plant cells. GRP23 is expressed in developing embryos up to the heart stage, as revealed by beta-glucuronidase reporter gene expression and RNA in situ hybridization. Together, our data suggest that GRP23, by interaction with RNA polymerase II, likely functions as a transcriptional regulator essential for early embryogenesis in Arabidopsis.
Spatial characterization of corneal biomechanical properties with optical coherence elastography after UV cross-linking (2014)

Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a clinical treatment for keratoconus that structurally reinforces degenerating ocular tissue, thereby limiting disease progression. Clinical outcomes would benefit from noninvasive methods to assess tissue material properties in affected individuals. Regional variations in tissue properties were quantified before and after CXL in rabbit eyes using optical coherence elastography (OCE) imaging. Low-amplitude (<1µm) elastic waves were generated using micro air-pulse stimulation and the resulting wave amplitude and speed were measured using phase-stabilized swept-source OCE. OCE imaging following CXL treatment demonstrates increased corneal stiffness through faster elastic wave propagation speeds and lower wave amplitudes.
Oxygenates screening for AdvancedPetroleum-Based Diesel Fuels: Part 2. The Effect of Oxygenate Blending Compounds on Exhaust Emissions (2001)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Adding oxygenates to diesel fuel has shown the potential for reducing particulate (PM) emissions in the exhaust. The objective of this study was to select the most promising oxygenate compounds as blending components in diesel fuel for advanced engine testing. A fuel matrix was designed to consider the effect of molecular structure and boiling point on the ability of oxygenates to reduce engine-out exhaust emissions from a modern diesel engine. Nine test fuels including a low-sulfur (∼1 ppm), low-aromatic hydrocracked base fuel and 8 oxygenate-base fuel blends were utilized. All oxygenated fuels were formulated to contain 7% wt. of oxygen. A DaimlerChrysler OM611 CIDI engine for light-duty vehicles was controlled with a SwRI Rapid Prototyping Electronic Control System. The base fuel was evaluated in four speed-load modes and oxygenated blends only in one mode. Each operating mode and fuel combination was run in triplicate. The Bosch smoke number, total PM, total volatile fraction (TVF), NOx, CO, THC, CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;, and O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; were measured. Dry PM, which is assumed to form during the combustion process, was calculated by subtracting the TVF from the total PM. PM emissions reductions were proportional to the oxygen content of the fuel, averaging 26.1 percent below that of base fuel. Spread in the dry PM emissions indicated that fuel properties other than oxygen content play a role in the soot formation mechanism. In some cases, NOx emissions can increase significantly. Based on Total PM emissions and other considerations, Tripropylene Glycol Mono-Methyl Ether and Di Butyl Maleate were identified as the most promising candidate oxygenate compounds for future engine testing.&lt;/div&gt;
A complete understanding of the reaction kinetics for the industrial production process of expandable polystyrene (2016)

For the industrial expandable polystyrene (EPS) process, the Predici software package is successfully applied to demonstrate that the composite k t model is the most appropriate one to accurately account for diffusional limitations on termination. For a broad range of conditions, the reported set of model parameters allows an excellent description of experimental data on monomer conversion and molar mass distribution (MMD). For low temperatures and dicumylperoxide amounts (&lt;403 K; &lt; 0.20 m % DCP), a bimodal log‐MMD is obtained, which can be explained by the inability of chain transfer to attenuate the gel‐effect. For the opposite conditions, a unimodal log‐MMD results as the composite k t model provides an excellent description of the termination rates of the by chain transfer formed radicals. A unimodal log‐MMD also follows by adding a sufficiently high amount of the blowing agent n‐pentane (∼20 m %). The impact of degradation reactions on the EPS product can be neglected. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J , 63: 2043–2059, 2017
Resonant cavity light emitting diode with two SQWs of different width (2002)

Resonant cavity light-emitting diodes (RCLEDs) are suitable devices for optical fiber data communication because of their excellent performances such as narrow spectral linewidth and high response. In principle, the RCLED consists of an asymmetric Fabry-Perot cavity and a QW active region placed in the center of the cavity so that an optical resonation realizes at a wavelength of spontaneous emission from QW. However, the device characteristics are very sensitive to operation temperature, which results in reduction of output power in operation at high current. In this paper, in order to improve the characteristics, a new RCLED is proposed in which the active region consists of two SQWs of different width.
Graphene-InSe-graphene van der Waals heterostructures (2015)

We exploit the broad-band transparency of graphene and the favorable energy band line-up of graphene with n-type InSe thin films to create graphene-InSe-graphene heterostructures with high photosensitivity at room temperature. We use a semiclassical model to describe the photoresponse and its dependence on the electron transit time through the InSe layer.

Exposure to BP-3 was prevalent in the general U.S. population during 2003--2004. Differences by sex and race/ethnicity probably reflect differences in use of personal care products containing BP-3.
Trajectories of charged droplets in transverse airflows (1996)

A three-dimensional time-transient numerical algorithm is developed for the calculation of ink drop trajectories in transverse airflows. The drop is charged, and is ejected with some initial velocity. The simulation requires the solution of Laplace's equation subject to charge conservation on the drop, together with integration of the dynamical equation of motion. The model considers the "floating" potential on the drop as it traverses the air gap, and Stoke's drag due to the prevailing airflow. The specific case of a spherical drop in a uniform electric field is amenable to analytic solution, and is used to verify the model. Important parameters calculated for the drop include: the initial drop charge; time-of-flight; and velocity of impact on the receiver. The more general model will allow the study of transverse airflows and non-uniform E-Field effects on the drop.

A Method for Estimating Access Delay Distribution in IEEE 802.11 Networks (2011)

The volume of multimedia traffic over wireless networks has been steadily increasing over the past decade. Unlike web browsing applications, multimedia data needs to satisfy stringent delay requirements since late packets are as good as lost packets. In this paper, we present a framework for the nodes in 802.11 networks to estimate the distribution of uplink access delay in Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC mechanism using locally available information. The access delay for a packet is defined as the time between the packet arriving at the head of line of MAC queue, and its ACK being received. In our proposed framework, each node periodically records channel occupancy information to estimate the distribution of access delay. We use NS-2 simulations to verify the accuracy of our proposed approach.
Characterization of Opioid Receptors (2000)

Abstract This unit presents two convenient radioligand binding assay methods for opioid receptors. These are applicable to all three of the opioid receptors that have been cloned to date (the mu, kappa and delta receptors), and can be used with numerous commercially available radiolabeled ligands. Moreover, they can serve as reasonable starting points in the development of new assays. A method for determining the binding of radioligand to cloned opioid receptors expressed on the surface of cultured cells is detailed along with a similar method to study radioligand binding to receptors from tissue homogenates. Also included is a procedure for titrating inhibitors of opioid receptor‐ligand binding, along with guidelines for analysis of the resulting data.
Physical and Electrical Characterization of Thin Anodic Oxides on Si(100) (1995)

Gate oxides 4 to 50 nm thick have been grown on Si(100) by anodic oxidation at room temperature. Different concentrationsof aqueous NH4OH were used as the electrolyte. Growth of oxides on n-type substrates required light illumination;however, the uniformity of the oxide thickness was not critically dependent on the uniformity of the illumination as longas light saturation conditions were maintained. The oxides on n-type Si were slightly thicker than those on p-type Si underthe same growth conditions; nevertheless the physical properties of the oxides grown on the two types of substrates weresimilar. The growth mechanism was determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry with 18O labeling, and depends on thesolution pH. The as-grown and annealed oxides were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and by HF etch rateexperiments. After appropriate annealing, simple metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors exhibited promising electricalproperties.
Time-domain terahertz single-pixel imaging (2021)

We apply the single-pixel imaging technique to retrieve multi-dimensional (space, time/frequency) images at terahertz frequencies by indirectly reconstructing the temporal waveform in each pixel. Moreover, we exploit compressed sensing algorithms to reduce the acquisition time.
S-MPTCP: A Smart MultiPath TCP Controller for Next Generation Mobile Network (2018)

With the advent of smartphone and network industry, various mobile internet streaming, surfing, online gaming and downloading applications gained tremendous popularity. Regardless of popularity, it still suffers from the problems like start up delays, stalls, quality switches, etc. due to high variation in network bandwidth. Multipath TCP (MPTCP) emerged as one of the solutions, which is an enhancement of TCP, capable of bundling various connections by integrating bandwidth on different mobile network interfaces. However, the network communication interfaces, mainly in case of wireless, may not be with same path characteristic and modes of operation. In the existing system, there is no information about the network interface and/or the connections that are established. We present a smart MPTCP path controller for Next Generation Mobile Networks that manages the sub flow in MPTCP with multiple network communication interfaces. Our proposed approach manages the sub flow in the MPTCP by mapping the client with appropriate server network interface with the available information shared during the initial connection establishment. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal, we performed live air experiments with the help of Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8 device with Korean operators (KT and SKT) and also performed simulations in our lab at Samsung Electronics, Head Quarters. Our live air experimental results show that our approach can efficiently manage the subflows and provides better throughput with minimal connection overhead thus, improving battery power gain by 13% as compared to legacy MPTCP and saving mobile data up-to 50% as compared to existing MPTCP solution.
All a-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7−y-PrBa2Cu3O7−z-YBa2Cu3O7−y Josephson devices operating at 80 K (1991)

We have demonstrated the controllable, reproducible fabrication of nonhysteretic Josephson devices with excess-current weak-link characteristics at temperatures up to 80 K. The devices are patterned from in situ deposited a-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O7−y-PrBa2Cu3O7−z-YBa2Cu3O7−y trilayers grown on SrTiO3(001) substrates. Control of the critical current density and resistance is achieved by varying the thickness of the PrBa2Cu3O7−z barrier layer. Critical current densities in excess of 104 A/cm2 have been reproducibly measured; good uniformity across the wafer is obtained with device parameters scaling with device area. Strong constant-voltage current steps are observed under 11.2 GHz microwave radiation at temperatures up to and above 80 K.

CMOS implementation of pixel-wise coded exposure imaging for insect-based sensor node (2015)

Insect based Mobile Wireless Sensor Nodes (MWSN) has gained interests from the research community in recent year. These small biological entities have excellent maneuverability and can enter extreme areas not accessible to human. In order not to hinder the flight of the insect, the image sensors carried by these small insects must be light, low power, high speed and is capable of providing high quality images for different scene conditions and flight speed. In this paper, we present an implementation of pixel-wise coded exposure image sensor, developed based on the theory of Compressed Sensing (CS). This architecture can provide up to 18× more frame rate with both high spatial and temporal resolution compared to a traditional image sensor with the same readout speed. Additionally, through adaptive control of the pixel exposure duration, this architecture can be made to provide optimal image quality under all conditions. The test pixel array consumes 46 μW at 100 fps.

Associations of 25 structural, degradative, and inflammatory candidate genes with lumbar disc desiccation, bulging, and height narrowing (2009)

Genetic variants account for interindividual differences in disc matrix synthesis and degradation. The accuracy of the quantitative disc signal intensity measurements we used likely enhanced our ability to observe these associations. Our findings shed light on possible mechanisms of degeneration and support the view that disc degeneration is a polygenetic condition.
Modelling of MeV alpha particle energy transfer to lower hybrid waves (1994)

The interaction between a lower hybrid wave and a fusion alpha particle displaces the alpha particle simultaneously in space and energy. This results in coupled diffusion. Diffusion of alphas down the density gradient could lead to their transferring energy to the wave. This could, in turn, put energy into current drive. An initial analytic study was done by Fisch and Rax (1992). Here the authors calculate numerical solutions for the alpha energy transfer and study a range of conditions that are favourable for wave amplification from alpha energy. They find that it is possible for fusion alpha particles to transfer a large fraction of their energy to the lower hybrid wave. The numerical calculation shows that the net energy transfer is not sensitive to the value of the diffusion coefficient over a wide range of practical values. An extension of this idea, the use of a lossy boundary to enhance the energy transfer, is investigated. This technique is shown to offer a large potential benefit.
Theory and Approximate Solvers for Branched Optimal Transport with Multiple Sources (2022)

Branched Optimal Transport (BOT) is a generalization of optimal transport in which transportation costs along an edge are subadditive. This subadditivity models an increase in transport efficiency when shipping mass along the same route, favoring branched transportation networks. We here study the NP-hard optimization of BOT networks connecting a finite number of sources and sinks in $\mathbb{R}^2$. First, we show how to efficiently find the best geometry of a BOT network for many sources and sinks, given a topology. Second, we argue that a topology with more than three edges meeting at a branching point is never optimal. Third, we show that the results obtained for the Euclidean plane generalize directly to optimal transportation networks on two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds. Finally, we present a simple but effective approximate BOT solver combining geometric optimization with a combinatorial optimization of the network topology.
