Recyclable optical bioplastics platform for solid state red light harvestingviatriplet–triplet annihilation photon upconversion (2022)

Sustainable photonics applications of solid-state triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion (TTA-UC) are limited by a small UC spectral window, low UC efficiency in air, and non-recyclability of polymeric materials used. In a step to overcome these issues, we have developed new recyclable TTA-UC bioplastics by encapsulating TTA-UC chromophores liquid inside the semicrystalline gelatin films showing broad-spectrum upconversion (red/far-red to blue) with high UC efficiency in air. For this, we synthesized a new anionic annihilator, sodium-TIPS-anthracene-2-sulfonate (TIPS-AnS), that combined with red/far-red sensitizers (PdTPBP/Os(<i>m</i>-peptpy)<sub>2</sub>(TFSI)<sub>2</sub>), a liquid surfactant Triton X-100 reduced (TXr) and protein gelatin (G) formed red/far-red to blue TTA-UC bioplastic films just by air drying of their aqueous solutions. The G-TXr-TIPS-AnS-PdTPBP film showed record red to blue (633 to 478 nm) TTA-UC quantum yield of 8.5% in air. The high UC quantum yield has been obtained due to the fluidity of dispersed TXr containing chromophores and oxygen blockage by gelatin fibers that allowed efficient diffusion of triplet excited chromophores. Further, the G-TXr-TIPS-AnS-Os(<i>m</i>-peptpy)<sub>2</sub>(TFSI)<sub>2</sub> bioplastic film displayed far-red to blue (700-730 nm to 478 nm) TTA-UC, demonstrating broad-spectrum photon harvesting. Finally, we demonstrated the recycling of G-TXr-TIPS-AnS-PdTPBP bioplastics by developing a downstream approach that gives new directions for designing future recyclable photonics bioplastic materials.
Deep multimodal learning for Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (2015)

In this paper, we present methods in deep multimodal learning for fusing speech and visual modalities for Audio-Visual Automatic Speech Recognition (AV-ASR). First, we study an approach where uni-modal deep networks are trained separately and their final hidden layers fused to obtain a joint feature space in which another deep network is built. While the audio network alone achieves a phone error rate (PER) of 41% under clean condition on the IBM large vocabulary audio-visual studio dataset, this fusion model achieves a PER of 35.83% demonstrating the tremendous value of the visual channel in phone classification even in audio with high signal to noise ratio. Second, we present a new deep network architecture that uses a bilinear softmax layer to account for class specific correlations between modalities. We show that combining the posteriors from the bilinear networks with those from the fused model mentioned above results in a further significant phone error rate reduction, yielding a final PER of 34.03%.
On the inter‐instrument and inter‐laboratory transferability of a tandem mass spectral reference library: 1. Results of an Austrian multicenter study (2009)

The inter-instrument and inter-laboratory transferability of a tandem mass spectral reference library originally built on a quadrupole-quadrupole-time-of-flight instrument was examined. The library consisted of 3759 MS/MS spectra collected from 402 reference compounds applying several different collision-energy values for fragmentation. In the course of the multicenter study, 22 test compounds were sent to three different laboratories, where 418 tandem mass spectra were acquired using four different instruments from two manufacturers. The study covered the following types of tandem mass spectrometers: quadrupole-quadrupole-time-of-flight, quadrupole-quadrupole-linear ion trap, quadrupole-quadrupole-quadrupole, and linear ion trap-Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. In each participating laboratory, optimized instrumental parameters were gathered solely from routinely applied workflows. No standardization procedure was applied to increase the inter-instrument comparability of MS/MS spectra. The acquired tandem mass spectra were matched against the established reference library using a sophisticated matching algorithm, which is presented in detail in a companion paper. Correct answers, meaning that the correct compound was retrieved as top hit, were obtained in 98.1% of cases. For the remaining 1.9% of spectra, the correct compound was matched at second rank. The observed high percentage of correct assignments clearly suggests that the developed mass spectral library search approach is to a large extent platform independent.
Near-Zero NOx Control for Diesel Aftertreatment (1999)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;A two-chamber catalyst system for the aftertreatment of No. 2 Diesel exhaust is demonstrated. NOx conversion efficiencies greater than 95% were obtained over a broad range of operating temperatures and NOx levels. The system incorporates a NOx catalyst (SCONOx™) for the removal of CO, hydrocarbons, and NOx from the exhaust stream and a SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; catalyst (SCOSOx™) for the protection of the NOx catalyst from sulfur poisoning. Both catalysts are of sorbate or “trap” type. Hydrogen is used as the reductant and can be supplied by on-board fuel reformers. Tests of the catalysts were performed with various loads, temperatures, and NOx levels. A light-duty diesel engine with no particulate control was used for the tests. All tests were conducted using No. 2 Diesel fuel.&lt;/div&gt;
A unified approach to zero-crossings, nonuniform and random sampling of signals and systems (1987)

Why should we consider the zero-crossings or nonuniform samples of a signal or a system? Does not uniform sampling give a satisfactory result? What are the (potential) applications of nonuniform sampling? These are some of the questions that need to be addressed in this section.

Effects of T-tabs and large deflections in DCB specimen tests (1989)

A simple strength of materials analysis was developed for a double-cantilever beam (DCB) specimen to account for geometric nonlinearity effects due to large deflections and T-tabs. A new DCB data analysis procedure was developed to include the effects of these nonlinearities. The results of the analysis were evaluated by DCB tests performed for materials having a wide range of toughnesses. The materials used in the present study were T300/5208, IM7/8551-7, and AS4/PEEK. Based on the present analysis, for a typical deflection/crack length ratio of 0.3 (for AS4/PEEK), T-tabs and large deflections cause a 15 percent and 3 percent error, respectively, in the computer Mode 1 strain energy release rate. Design guidelines for DCB specimen thickness and T-tab height were also developed in order to keep errors due to these nonlinearities within 2 percent. Based on the test results, for both hinged and tabbed specimens, the effects of large deflection on the Mode 1 fracture toughness (G sub Ic) were almost negligible (less than 1 percent) in the case of T300/5208 and IM7/8551-7; however, AS4/PEEK showed a 2 to 3 percent effect. The effects of T-tabs G sub Ic were more significant for all the materials with T300/5208 showing a 5 percent error, IM7/8551-7 a 15 percent error, and, AS4/PEEK a 20 percent error.
Investigation of the First Seven Reported Cases ofCandida auris,a Globally Emerging Invasive, Multidrug-Resistant Fungus — United States, May 2013–August 2016 (2016)

Candida auris, an emerging fungus that can cause invasive infections, is associated with high mortality and is often resistant to multiple antifungal drugs. C. auris was first described in 2009 after being isolated from external ear canal discharge of a patient in Japan (1). Since then, reports of C. auris infections, including bloodstream infections, have been published from several countries, including Colombia, India, Israel, Kenya, Kuwait, Pakistan, South Africa, South Korea, Venezuela, and the United Kingdom (2-7). To determine whether C. auris is present in the United States and to prepare for the possibility of transmission, CDC issued a clinical alert in June 2016 informing clinicians, laboratorians, infection control practitioners, and public health authorities about C. auris and requesting that C. auris cases be reported to state and local health departments and CDC (8). This report describes the first seven U.S. cases of C. auris infection reported to CDC as of August 31, 2016. Data from these cases suggest that transmission of C. auris might have occurred in U.S. health care facilities and demonstrate the need for attention to infection control measures to control the spread of this pathogen.
A brief rocket noise introduction for the interested ASA meeting attendee (2023)

It can be difficult for ASA meeting attendees to find an entry point into topical special sessions; they may be interested in learning about a field outside their own but are unfamiliar with terminology, physical processes, and the challenges that motivate different research studies. For the topic of rocket noise, this presentation is intended to help attendees from different ASA technical areas feel more prepared to understand the significance and details of the other talks in this session. But because there is far more to discuss than can be addressed in a single presentation, attendees are also referred to a recent review article on launch vehicle acoustics [C. P. Lubert et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 151, 752-791 (2022)].
A thermodynamic approach for interpreting metallization layer stability and thin-film reactions involving four elements: Application to integrated circuit contact metallurgy (1990)

We propose a means of constructing simplified quaternary phase diagrams based on a thermodynamic approach using known and estimated data for Gibbs free energy of formation. Isothermal, isobaric sections of the condensed phase diagrams are built up as tie lines, tie planes, and tie tetrahedra (representing two-, three-, and four-phase equilibrium, respectively) in a regular tetrahedron. This extends the now well-established methodology for ternary systems described, for instance, by Beyers [J. Appl. Phys. 56, 147 (1984); Mat. Res. Soc. Symp. Proc. 47, 143 (1985)]. The procedure is illustrated by reference to Ti-Si-N-O, Al-Si-N-O, Ti-Al-Si-N and Ti-Al-Si-O, systems which are relevant to interactions occurring at various interfaces during the formation of contacts in integrated circuits. These phase diagrams are then used to predict the stability of—or reactions in—metallization layers and thin-film systems involving four elements. In addition, a method is suggested to estimate unknown free energies of formation from observations of thin-film reactions and stability.
Histomorphologic Observations for Cynomolgus Monkeys after Subchronic Subcutaneous Injection of Recombinant Human Interleukin-4 (1991)

Recombinant human interleukin-4 (rhuIL-4) is a candidate for the treatment of refractory cancer based on its potential to enhance the function of the immune system. Total daily dosages of 0 (placebo control), 1, 5, or 25 micrograms/kg of rhuIL-4 were given as divided (b.i.d.) subcutaneous dosages to male and female cynomolgus monkeys (5/sex/group) for 1 month followed by a 2-week recovery. Histomorphologic evaluation of 3/sex/group at 1 month revealed vascular lesions, granulocytic hyperplasia, and seminiferous tubular atrophy attributed to treatment with rhuIL-4. Dosage-dependent proliferative and inflammatory vascular lesions with eosinophil infiltration affected principally the arterial tree. After 2 weeks of recovery, these lesions, including chronic endarteritis and chronic and/or obliterative arteritis, occurred with an overall lower incidence, and were not observed for monkeys from the 1.0 micrograms/kg/day group. Granulocytic hyperplasia in bone marrow observed for monkeys from all groups given rhuIL-4 at 1 month was not present after 2 weeks of recovery. Seminiferous tubular atrophy was observed for monkeys from the 5 and 25 micrograms/kg/day groups at 1 month and after 2 weeks of recovery.
A Few-Shot Learning Approach for Accelerated MRI via Fusion of\n Data-Driven and Subject-Driven Priors (2021)

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have recently found emerging use in accelerated\nMRI reconstruction. DNNs typically learn data-driven priors from large datasets\nconstituting pairs of undersampled and fully-sampled acquisitions. Acquiring\nsuch large datasets, however, might be impractical. To mitigate this\nlimitation, we propose a few-shot learning approach for accelerated MRI that\nmerges subject-driven priors obtained via physical signal models with\ndata-driven priors obtained from a few training samples. Demonstrations on\nbrain MR images from the NYU fastMRI dataset indicate that the proposed\napproach requires just a few samples to outperform traditional parallel imaging\nand DNN algorithms.\n
Uricase enzyme types immobilized in poly-N-methylpyrrole for biosensor applications (2003)

The suitability of three different enzymes (from porcine liver, from Candida Utilis, from Bacillus Fastidiosus) have been investigated and significant differences have been found. The results indicate, that beside specific activity also the molecular structure of the enzymes must be taken into account by a biosensor application. A new type of electronically-conducting-polymer based enzymatic uric acid biosensor has been investigated. The layout of the substrate, which consists of 4 electrode surfaces (Working1, Working2, Reference, Counter) was prepared by thick film technology on sintered alumina ceramic sheets. Dodecyl sulfate doped poly-N-methyl-pyrrole layer was used for enzyme immobilization. This polymer film can incorporate the enzyme in one step during the process of the electropolymerization. By the applied bipotentiostatic measurement method the two working electrodes (with and without the enzyme) are identically prepared and polarized and the currents in the two circuits are measured simultaneously. The concentration of the uric acid is calculated from the current difference.

Identifying Good & Bad 2D to 3D Conversion (2010)

2D to 3D conversions vary greatly in terms of quality. Understanding what causes bad conversion and how to identify those issues is an essential skill to critique 3D and manage a conversion project. A bad conversion is usually the result of a cost cutting measure. Usually 1 or more of the 3 main artistic phases (depth, roto/matte, and paint) is shortchanged. — Inaccurate or conflicting depth cues and the “card-board cutout” effect arises when the depth process is shortchanged. Poor or low detail models, used to drive the depth of the scene, are the usual culprits. — The “rubber sheet” effect, “watery, stretched, or messy” edges, or lack of transparency is the result of shortchanging the paint process. To avoid painting occluded surfaces, the “rubber sheet” approach creates a sense of depth with no distinct separation between elements. Automated paint process often lead to “Watery, stretched of messy edges”. A transparency, such as smoke, is often allowed to play against a wall instead of in mid-air because that could require paint to remove and replace the smoke. — A “composited” looking shot can arise when the roto/matte process is shortchanged. Flyaway hair may be removed or matte edges may be overtly apparent because they are too hard or soft. This makes the shot look composited, even if it was captured practically. — Uncomfortable or fatiguing conversion arises if there is poor QC or stereography. Vertical alignment, too much positive parallax, and poor stereo continuity are likely causes of uncomfortable of fatiguing conversion.
Characterization of the First Prototypes of Silicon Photomultiplier Fabricated at ITC-irst (2007)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> This paper reports on the electrical characterization of the first prototypes of Geiger-Mode Avalanche Photodiodes (GM-APDs) and Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) produced at ITC-irst, Trento. Both static and functional measurements have been performed in dark condition. The static tests, consisting in reverse and forward IV measurements, have been performed on 20 GM-APDs and 90 SiPMs. The breakdown voltage, the quenching resistance value and the current level have been proved to be very uniform. On the other hand, the analysis of the dark signals allowed the extraction of important properties such as the dark count rate, the gain, the after-pulse and optical cross-talk (in case of the SiPMs) rates. These parameters have been evaluated as a function of the bias voltage, showing trends perfectly compatible with the theory of the device. </para>

Turnover of inositol polyphosphate pyrophosphates in pancreatoma cells. (1993)

There is little information concerning the intracellular function of inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakis- and hexakisphosphate, despite their being the most abundant inositol polyphosphates. Current opinions that they play passive roles as antioxidants (Graf, E., Mahoney, J. R., Bryant, R. G., and Eaton, J. W. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3620-3624) or "housekeeping" molecules (Berridge, M. J., and Irvine, R. F. (1989) Nature 341, 197-205) arises from belief in their metabolic lethargy. However, we have discovered that cell homogenates, incubated with 5 mM fluoride and 5 mM ATP, converted both inositol hexakisphosphate (Km = 2 +/- 0.5 microM, Vmax = 9 +/- 2 pmol/mg of protein/min) and inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (Km = 13 +/- 4 microM, Vmax = 11 +/- 5 pmol/mg of protein/min) to more polar products. These reactions were also observed in intact cells treated with 0.5-20 mM fluoride, and the precursor/product relationships were confirmed by comparing the effects of fluoride on cells differentially labeled with [3H]inositol in either short-term or pulse-chase protocols. The novel products were determined to be inositol pyrophosphates because of their relatively specific hydrolysis by tobacco pyrophosphatase and alkaline phosphatase. The pyrophosphates were metabolized rapidly by cell homogenates back to their pentakisphosphate and hexakisphosphate precursors. This endogenous pyrophosphatase activity was inhibited by up to 99% by 5 mM fluoride in vitro. In intact cells incubated with 10 mM fluoride, about 20% of the inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate pool, and 50% of the inositol hexakisphosphate pool were each converted to pyrophosphate derivatives within 1 h.
Polarity withinpMandpEpromoted phage lambdacI-rexA-rexBtranscription and its suppression (2005)

The cI-rexA-rexB operon of bacteriophage lambda confers 2 phenotypes, Imm and Rex, to lysogenic cells. Immunity to homoimmune infecting lambda phage depends upon the CI repressor. Rex exclusion of T4rII mutants requires RexA and RexB proteins. Both Imm and Rex share temperature-sensitive conditional phenotypes when expressed from cI[Ts]857 but not from cI+ lambda prophage. Plasmids were made in which cI-rexA-rexB was transcribed from a non-lambda promoter, pTet. The cI857-rexA-rexB plasmid exhibited Ts conditional Rex and CI phenotypes; the cI+-rexA-rexB plasmid did not. Polarity was observed within cI-rexA-rexB transcription at sites in cI and rexA when CI was nonfunctional. Renaturation of the Ts CI857 repressor, allowing it to regain functionality, suppressed the polar effect on downstream transcription from the site in cI. The second strong polar effect near the distal end of rexA was observed for transcription initiated from pE. The introduction of a rho Ts mutation into the host genome suppressed both polar effects, as measured by its suppression of the conditional Rex phenotype. Strong suppression of the conditional Rex[Ts] phenotype was imparted by ssrA and clpP (polar for clpX) null mutations, suggesting that RexA or RexB proteins made under conditions of polarity are subject to 10Sa RNA tagging and ClpXP degradation.
Quantification of Volumetric Coronary Blood Flow With Dual-Energy Digital Subtraction Angiography (1996)

Accurate BF measurements can be made with motion-immune DE DSA. The BF measurements can be completed before the onset of significant changes in BF due to contrast injection. Furthermore, it is possible to make the BF measurements during routine coronary arteriography.
Molecular cloning and characterization of a mouse nuclear orphan receptor expressed in embryos and testes (1996)

A mouse cDNA encoding a putative DNA-binding protein of the zinc-finger type was isolated from an E8.5 mouse embryonic cDNA library. Sequence comparison revealed a high degree of homology between this mouse cDNA and the human and rat orphan receptor Tr2-11 isolated from prostate cDNA libraries. This transcript was detected in early-to-midgestation embryos and was seen to level off during later stages of development. In adult animals, a high level of expression was detected only in the testis, starting at postnatal day 18, a stage when active meiosis begins to occur. A specific antibody was raised, and immunoreactive signal was specifically located in the adlumenal compartment of the seminiferous tubule, where advanced germ cells reside. In mice fed a vitamin A-depleted diet, where the testes were depleted of advanced germ cells, expression of this protein could not be detected, suggesting a biological relation of this orphan receptor and male germ-cell differentiation. Using a retinoic acid response element (RARE)-containing reporter system, it was demonstrated that expression of this protein dramatically repressed both the basal and the retinoic acid (RA)-regulated promoter activities of this reporter. Thus, this orphan receptor could play a role in modulating both the basic transcription machinery and the RA signalling pathway during embryogenesis and male germ-cell differentiation.
