Optimal regenerative torque control to maximize energy recapture of electric vehicles (2010)

Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture regenerative energy to extend driving range. However, while larger regenerative braking torque attains more regenerative power, excess braking torque may lock up the wheel and result in safety issues. In effect, maximization of the regenerative torque and in turn the energy recapture is subject to the safety requirements. This paper translates the energy recapture problem into a wheel-slip control problem then develops an optimal regenerative torque controller to achieve the goal. The design employs a sliding mode control to manipulate the operating point and resist uncertainties, and an optimal linear control to maintain the longitudinal wheel slip at the desired value. The efficacy of the optimal regenerative torque control system is verified for critical operating conditions of the electric vehicle.

<title>Radiative Process In Single And Multiple Wire Explosions</title> (1979)

Two copper wires, 0.017cm and 0.024cm in diameter and both 1.2cm long, connected in series are exploded by discharging a capacitor of 6;1F, charged to 7.5 KV, and the two light flashes with short duration and time separation are observed. They are detected by two cameras which take the photographs of a chopper aperture revolving at the speed of 42 rps. From the circuit equation, the prevaporization solution is obtained by the iteration method applied three times. However, the convergence of the power series is found poor. Then, a computer calculation is made to obtain the vaporization time for the two wires. The time separation of the two optical flashes are found to be 2.2 psec which agrees fairly with the value about 3 l.sec obtained by comparing the two photographs.

25-GHz repetition-rate singly resonant optical parametric oscillator synchronously pumped by a mode-locked diode oscillator amplifier system (2000)

We report on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) that is synchronously pumped directly by a diode laser. This laser is an actively mode-locked master-oscillator power-amplifier system that produces 20-ps pulses at 927 nm with a repetition rate of 2.5 GHz and an average power of 0.9 W. The OPO, which is a singly resonant device based on periodically poled lithium niobate, generates 7.8-ps pulses. The OPO threshold is 300 mW of average pump power, and the maximum average idler output power is 78 mW at a wavelength of 2100 nm. By changing the crystal temperature we can wavelength tune the output in the ranges 1530-1737 nm (signal) and 1986-2348 nm (idler). Rapid wavelength tuning of the OPO over 46 nm (signal) and 74 nm (idler) is achieved through tuning the cavity length over 28 microm by use of a piezoelectric transducer.
Effects of herbicide mixtures and additives on Rhododendron ponticum (1993)

Summary: Résumé: Zusammenfassung The possibility of increasing the activity of glyphosate, imazapyr, sulfonylurea herbicides and triclopyr against Rhododendron ponticum L. was investigated using container‐grown plants. Glyphosate, imazapyr and triclopyr alone and metsulfuron‐methyl with added surfactant were all phytotoxic, imazapyr and triclopyr being the most effective at the doses used. Thifensulfuron‐methyl and tribenuron‐methyl with ‘Mixture B’ were ineffective. The surfactants ‘Mixture B’ and ‘Silwet L77’ consistently increased the activity of imazapyr and metsulfuron‐methyl. Mixtures of the herbicides did not lead to synergistic activity, and mixing imazapyr and triclopyr depressed the activity of each component. There was some enhancement of activity on R. ponticum when imazapyr and metsulfuron‐methyl were applied sequentially, 48 h apart. Effets de mélanges d'herbicides et d'adjuvants au Rhododendron ponticum La possibilité d'accroître l'activité du glyphosate, de l'imazapyr, des sulfonylurées et du triclopyr contre Rhododendron ponticum a étéétudiée en utilisant des plantes cultivées en containers. Le glyphosate, l'imazapyr et le triclopyr seuls et le metsulfuron‐methyl additionné d'un surfactant ont tous été phytotoxiques: l'imazapyr et le triclopyr étant les plus efficaces aux doses utilisées. Le thifensulfuron‐méthyl et le tribenuron‐methyl avec ‘Mixture B’ ont été inefficaces. Les surfactants ‘Mixture B’ et‘Silwet L 77’ ont considérablement augmenté l'activité de l'imazapyr et metsulfuron‐methyl. Les mélanges des herbicides n'a pas abouti à une activité synergistique et les mélanges avec l'imazapyr et le triclopyr ont diminué l'activité de chaque composé. Il y a eu un certain renforcement de l'activité sur R. ponticum quand l'imazapyr et le métsulfuron‐méthyl étaient appliqués de façon séquentielle, à 48 heures d'intervalle. Wirkung von Herbizidmischungen und Additiven auf Rhododendron ponticum An Container‐Pflanzen von Rhododendron ponticum L. wurden versucht, die Wirksamkeit von Glyphosat, Imazapyr und Sulfonylharn‐stoff‐Herbiziden zu verstärken. Glyphosat, Imazapyr und Triclopyr allein und Metsulfuron‐methyl nach Zugabe von Netzmitteln waren phytotoxisch, besonders Imazapyr und Triclopyr. Thifensulfuronmethyl und Tribenuron‐methyl waren mit dem Netzmittel ‘Mixture B’ wirkungslos. Die Netzmittel ‘Mixture B’ und ‘Silwet L77’ erhöhten die Wirksamkeit von Imazapyr und Metsulfuron‐methyl durchweg. Mischungen der Herbizide ließen keinen Synergismus erkennen, und die Mischung von Imazapyr mit Triclopyr verringerte die Wirksamkeit der Einzelkomponenten. Die Wirkung auf R. ponticum ließ sich erhöhen, wenn Imazapyr und Metsulfuron‐methyl 48 h nacheinander angewandt wurden.

Discharge Patterns of Single Fibers in the Cat's Auditory Nerve (1966)

The monograph represents a systematic attempt to describe in a quantitative manner the electrophysiological responses in the peripheral auditory nervous system. The purpose of this research was to discover how the mammalian auditory nerve describes sounds by examining the patterns of discharges in sile fibers of the auditory nerve in response to controlled acoustic stimuli. The research itself was conducted on healthy adult cats but should have important bearing on the study of human hearing. In describing their research the authors have followed this general arrangement. First, the methods used in obtaining the results are described; next, the results are presented within a framework that indicates the purpose and significance of each series of experiments; the more general aspects of interpretation are left for the final chapter.
REUNITE: a recursive unicast approach to multicast (2002)

We propose a new multicast protocol called REUNITE. The key idea of REUNITE is to use recursive unicast trees to implement multicast service. REUNITE does not use class D IP addresses. Instead, both group identification and data forwarding are based on unicast IP addresses. Compared with existing IP multicast protocols, REUNITE has several unique properties. First, only routers that are acting as multicast tree branching points for a group need to keep the multicast forwarding state of the group. All other non-branching-point routers simply forward data packets by unicast routing. In addition, REUNITE can be incrementally deployed in the sense that it works even if only a subset of the routers implement the protocol. Furthermore, REUNITE supports load balancing and graceful degradation such that when a router does not have resources (forwarding table entry, buffer space, processing power) to support additional multicast groups, the branching can be automatically migrated to other less-loaded routers. Finally, sender access control can be easily supported in REUNITE.
Poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerases (PARPs) 1‐3 regulate astrocyte activation (2008)

Besides their traditional role in maintaining CNS homeostasis, astrocytes also participate in innate immune responses. Indeed, we have previously demonstrated that astrocytes are capable of recognizing bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, a common etiologic agent of CNS infections, and respond with the robust production of numerous proinflammatory mediators. Suppression of Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a DNA repair enzyme, has been shown to attenuate inflammatory responses in several cell types including mixed glial cultures. However, a role for PARP-1 in regulating innate immune responses in purified astrocytes and the potential for multiple PARP family members to cooperatively regulate astrocyte activation has not yet been examined. The synthetic PARP-1 inhibitor PJ-34 attenuated the production of several proinflammatory mediators by astrocytes in response to S. aureus stimulation including nitric oxide, interleukin-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and CCL2. The release of all four mediators was partially reduced in PARP-1 knockout (KO) astrocytes compared to wild-type cells. The residual inflammatory mediator expression detected in PARP-1 KO astrocytes was further blocked with PJ-34, suggesting either non-specific effects of the drug or actions on alternative PARP isoforms. Reduction in PARP-2 or PARP-3 expression by siRNA knock down revealed that these isoforms also contributed to inflammatory mediator regulation in response to S. aureus. Interestingly, the combined targeting of either PARP-1/PARP-2 or PARP-2/PARP-3 attenuated astrocyte inflammatory responses more effectively compared to knock down of either PARP alone, suggesting cooperativity between PARP isoforms. Collectively, these findings suggest that PARPs influence the extent of S. aureus-induced astrocyte activation.

Coefficients training methods for image and video quality measures (2015)

Combining multiple color image attribute measures by linear addition has been shown to be an effective method in evaluating color image and video quality. Therefore, appropriate selection of the linear combination coefficients determines the performance of the image quality measure. In this paper, training methods of obtaining the linear combination coefficients are discussed for two practical applications: (1) for image processing applications where images before and after processing have the same source; and (2) for video processing purpose where consecutive frames have different contents and suffer from different types of distortions. With the obtained linear combination coefficients, the overall image quality measure Color Quality Measure (CQM) is shown to be effective in benchmarking the qualities of images and video frames in terms that it has high correlations with subjective evaluation Mean Opinion Scores (MOS).
Associations of dairy intake with risk of mortality in women and men: three prospective cohort studies (2019)

These data from large cohorts do not support an inverse association between high amount of total dairy consumption and risk of mortality. The health effects of dairy could depend on the comparison foods used to replace dairy. Slightly higher cancer mortality was non-significantly associated with dairy consumption, but warrants further investigation.
On-Line Temperature Estimation for Noisy Thermal Sensors Using a Smoothing Filter-Based Kalman Predictor (2018)

Dynamic thermal management (DTM) mechanisms utilize embedded thermal sensors to collect fine-grained temperature information for monitoring the real-time thermal behavior of multi-core processors. However, embedded thermal sensors are very susceptible to a variety of sources of noise, including environmental uncertainty and process variation. This causes the discrepancies between actual temperatures and those observed by on-chip thermal sensors, which seriously affect the efficiency of DTM. In this paper, a smoothing filter-based Kalman prediction technique is proposed to accurately estimate the temperatures from noisy sensor readings. For the multi-sensor estimation scenario, the spatial correlations among different sensor locations are exploited. On this basis, a multi-sensor synergistic calibration algorithm (known as MSSCA) is proposed to improve the simultaneous prediction accuracy of multiple sensors. Moreover, an infrared imaging-based temperature measurement technique is also proposed to capture the thermal traces of an advanced micro devices (AMD) quad-core processor in real time. The acquired real temperature data are used to evaluate our prediction performance. Simulation shows that the proposed synergistic calibration scheme can reduce the root-mean-square error (RMSE) by 1.2 ∘ C and increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by 15.8 dB (with a very small average runtime overhead) compared with assuming the thermal sensor readings to be ideal. Additionally, the average false alarm rate (FAR) of the corrected sensor temperature readings can be reduced by 28.6%. These results clearly demonstrate that if our approach is used to perform temperature estimation, the response mechanisms of DTM can be triggered to adjust the voltages, frequencies, and cooling fan speeds at more appropriate times.
Perioperative Characteristics, Complications, and Outcomes of Single-Level Versus Multilevel Thoracic Corpectomies Via Modified Costotransversectomy Approach (2012)

Multilevel corpectomy via modified costotransversectomy approach in the thoracic region is a feasible and effective option that does not seem to be associated with significantly increased morbidity. The degree of clinical improvement also seems comparable with single-level corpectomy.
THz collective oscillations of ballistic electrons in wide potential wells: Bridging classical transport with quantum dynamics (2005)

Parabolic shaped potential wells of a width between 120 nm and 250 nm are defined in a band gap engineered p+-n-p+ heterostructure. After femtosecond photoinjection of carriers near the boundary of the well, electrons are found to coherently oscillate across the well with the classical harmonic-oscillator frequency of a few THz instead of performing the intuitively expected unidirectional relaxation towards the bottom of the well. Most strikingly, the coherence of this periodic electron motion is maintained despite multiple phonon scattering events. This novel transport regime is predicted by detailed Monte Carlo simulations and verified by analyzing the femtosecond transmission of the heterostructure as well as by directly detecting the THz radiation emitted by the oscillating electron-hole dipole. By decreasing the well width, this semi-classical ballistic transport regime is expected to converge towards a quantum-beat regime.
Processing of collagen based biomaterials and the resulting materials properties (2019)

Collagen, the most abundant extracellular matrix protein in animal kingdom belongs to a family of fibrous proteins, which transfer load in tissues and which provide a highly biocompatible environment for cells. This high biocompatibility makes collagen a perfect biomaterial for implantable medical products and scaffolds for in vitro testing systems. To manufacture collagen based solutions, porous sponges, membranes and threads for surgical and dental purposes or cell culture matrices, collagen rich tissues as skin and tendon of mammals are intensively processed by physical and chemical means. Other tissues such as pericardium and intestine are more gently decellularized while maintaining their complex collagenous architectures. Tissue processing technologies are organized as a series of steps, which are combined in different ways to manufacture structurally versatile materials with varying properties in strength, stability against temperature and enzymatic degradation and cellular response. Complex structures are achieved by combined technologies. Different drying techniques are performed with sterilisation steps and the preparation of porous structures simultaneously. Chemical crosslinking is combined with casting steps as spinning, moulding or additive manufacturing techniques. Important progress is expected by using collagen based bio-inks, which can be formed into 3D structures and combined with live cells. This review will give an overview of the technological principles of processing collagen rich tissues down to collagen hydrolysates and the methods to rebuild differently shaped products. The effects of the processing steps on the final materials properties are discussed especially with regard to the thermal and the physical properties and the susceptibility to enzymatic degradation. These properties are key features for biological and clinical application, handling and metabolization.
Structural Basis for Regulation of the Human Acetyl-CoA Thioesterase 12 and Interactions with the Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein-related Lipid Transfer (START) Domain (2014)

Acetyl-CoA plays a fundamental role in cell signaling and metabolic pathways, with its cellular levels tightly controlled through reciprocal regulation of enzymes that mediate its synthesis and catabolism. ACOT12, the primary acetyl-CoA thioesterase in the liver of human, mouse, and rat, is responsible for cleavage of the thioester bond within acetyl-CoA, producing acetate and coenzyme A for a range of cellular processes. The enzyme is regulated by ADP and ATP, which is believed to be mediated through the ligand-induced oligomerization of the thioesterase domains, whereby ATP induces active dimers and tetramers, whereas apo- and ADP-bound ACOT12 are monomeric and inactive. Here, using a range of structural and biophysical techniques, it is demonstrated that ACOT12 is a trimer rather than a tetramer and that neither ADP nor ATP exert their regulatory effects by altering the oligomeric status of the enzyme. Rather, the binding site and mechanism of ADP regulation have been determined to occur through two novel regulatory regions, one involving a large loop that links the thioesterase domains (Phe(154)-Thr(178)), defined here as RegLoop1, and a second region involving the C terminus of thioesterase domain 2 (Gln(304)-Gly(326)), designated RegLoop2. Mutagenesis confirmed that Arg(312) and Arg(313) are crucial for this mode of regulation, and novel interactions with the START domain are presented together with insights into domain swapping within eukaryotic thioesterases for substrate recognition. In summary, these experiments provide the first structural insights into the regulation of this enzyme family, revealing an alternate hypothesis likely to be conserved throughout evolution.
Abstract 2543: Akt and Myc cooperate to promote cell proliferation in Lck-Dlx5 T-cell lymphomas (2015)

Abstract Constitutive activation of AKT is a frequent occurrence in the development of human T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL), due largely to inactivation of PTEN. Up regulation of MYC is also commonly observed in T-ALL. We previously demonstrated that transgenic expression of a constitutively active form of Akt2 alone is sufficient to initiate T-cell lymphoma in mice, and that tumor formation typically requires up regulation of c-Myc or Dlx5 caused by specific chromosomal rearrangements. Here we report that transgenic overexpression of Dlx5 specifically in the mouse thymus can also drive T-cell lymphomagenesis. Tumors from these mice were characterized by loss of Pten expression and trisomy 15. Proliferation of these lymphoma cells was highly sensitive to the Akt pathway inhibitors BEZ235 and RAD001 as well as to the Myc inhibitor JQ1. Additionally, BEZ235 was found to cooperate with JQ1 to induce a more profound effect on cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, BEZ235 potentiated vincristine-induced apoptosis when cells were treated with both drugs simultaneously, whereas pretreatment with BEZ235 antagonized the cell-killing effect of vincristine. These findings suggest that combination therapies with AKT and MYC inhibitors hold promise for the treatment of T-ALL in the clinic. Citation Format: Yinfei Tan, Eleonora Sementino, Joseph Testa.
