Photoinduced Melting of a Stripe-Type Charge-Order and Metallic Domain Formation in a Layered BEDT-TTF-Based Organic Salt (2007)

Photoinduced melting of charge-order (CO) in [bis(ethylenedithiolo)]-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) salts was investigated by femotosecond spectroscopy. Comparative studies on two polytypes exhibiting large [theta-(BEDT-TTF)2RbZn(SCN)_{4}] and small [alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3] molecular rearrangements through the CO transition were performed. Ultrafast melting of CO for both compounds demonstrates the major contribution of the electronic instability which is due to Coulomb interaction. The roles of the molecular rearrangements on the formation of the CO and the metallic domain are discussed on the basis of low-frequency lattice dynamics.
Incidence Dependency of Photonic Crystal Substrate and Its Application on Solar Energy Conversion: Ag2S Sensitized WO3 in FTO Photonic Crystal Film (2019)

In addition to the most common applications of macroporous film: Supplying a large surface area, PC-FTO (macroporous fluorine-doped tin oxide with photonic crystal structure) can be employed as a template to control the morphologies of WO<sub>3</sub> for exposing a more active facet, and enhance the overall photo-electron conversion efficiency for the embedded photoactive materials under changing illumination incidence through refracting and scattering. The optical features of PC-FTO film was demonstrated by DRUVS (diffuse reflectance UV-vis spectra). Plate-like WO<sub>3</sub> were directly synthesized inside the PC-FTO film as a control group photoanode, Ag<sub>2</sub>S quantum dots were subsequently decorated on WO<sub>3</sub> to tune the light absorption range. The impact of photonic crystal film on the photoactivity of Ag<sub>2</sub>S/WO<sub>3</sub> was demonstrated by using the photoelectrochemical current density as a function of the incidence of the simulated light source.
Radiation Pneumonitis in Patients with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Receiving Chemoradiotherapy and an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor: A Retrospective Study (2021)

Abstract Background : Immunotherapy has been administered to many patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, only few studies have examined toxicity in patients receiving an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Therefore, we performed a retrospective study to determine factors that predict radiation pneumonitis (RP) in these patients. Methods : We evaluated the size of the planning target volume, mean lung dose (MLD), and the lung volume receiving more than a threshold radiation dose (VD) in 106 patients. The primary endpoint was RP ≥ grade 2, and toxicity was evaluated. Results: After CCRT , 51/106 patients were treated with ICI. The median follow-up period was 11.5 months (range, 3.0–28.2), and RP ≥ grade 2 occurred in 47 (44.3%) patients: 27 and 20 in the ICI and non-ICI groups, respectively. None of the examined clinical factors were associated with RP. Four dosimetric variables (MLD, V20, V30, and V40) had prognostic significance in univariate analysis for occurrence of pneumonitis (odds ratio, p -value; MLD: 3.0, 0.026; V20: 4.1, 0.001; V30: 3.1, 0.006; V40: 3.7, 0.002). Only V20 was a significant risk factor in the non-ICI group, and V30 and V40 were significant risk factors in the ICI group. The survival and local control rates were superior in the ICI group than in the non-ICI group, but no significance was observed. Conclusions : Patients receiving ICI after definitive CCRT were more likely to develop RP, which may be related to the lung volume receiving high-dose radiation. Therefore, several factors should be carefully considered for patients with NSCLC.
The environmental, health, and safety issues of acoustical materials: A strategy for finding, using, and evaluating information effectively (2005)

Concern over the safety of our indoor environments has increased in recent years. The definition of safety has also evolved to include not just life safety issues such as fire, but issues such as mold growth, toxins, the emission of volatile organic compounds, seismic concerns, and ergonomic issues. Consequently, the understanding of product safety has become increasingly more complex. Simultaneously, there has been an explosion in the number of products available to specifiers, due largely to access to the World Wide Web by international manufacturers of all sizes. Some of these manufacturers may be unable to test all aspects of product safety, or simply may be unaware of safety regulations. Specifiers can no longer assume a product is inherently safe and must do their own evaluations of product safety attributes. This paper will lay out a basic methodology for finding, using, and evaluating environmental, health, and safety information on acoustical products in an effective manner.
Influence of nanoclay on properties of HDPE/wood composites (2007)

Abstract Composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE), pine flour, and organic clay were made by melt compounding and then injection molding. The influence of clay on crystallization behavior, mechanical properties, water absorption, and thermal stability of HDPE/pine composites was investigated. The HDPE/pine composites containing exfoliated clay were made by a two‐step melt compounding procedure with the aid of a maleated polyethylene (MAPE). The use of 2% clay decreased the crystallization temperature ( T c ), crystallization rate, and the crystallinity level of the HDPE/pine composites, but did not change the crystalline thickness. When 2% MAPE was added, the crystallization rate increased, but the crystallinity level was further lowered. The flexural and tensile strength of HDPE/pine composites increased about 20 and 24%, respectively, with addition of 1% clay, but then decreased slightly as the clay content increased to 3%. The tensile modulus and tensile elongation were also increased with the addition of 1% clay. The impact strength was lowered about 7% by 1% clay, but did not decrease further as more clay was added. The MAPE improved the state of dispersion in the composites. Moisture content and thickness swelling of the HDPE/pine composites was reduced by the clay, but the clay did not improve the composite thermal stability. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Observation of a Plasma Polarization Shift for the Resonce Line of Ionized Helium (1970)

The He II 304-\AA{} line emitted from a ${N}_{e}\ensuremath{\approx}3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{17}$-${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$,, ${T}_{e}\ensuremath{\approx}4$-eV plasma in a $T$-type electric shock tube shows a blue shift of \ensuremath{\sim}0.05 \AA{}. This shift is interpreted as due to the negative space charge from the polarization of plasma regions occupied by positive ions.
Wat zijn de huidige adviezen ten aanzien van het gebruik van orale anticonceptiva en het risico op trombose? (2006)

Kort na de introductie van orale anticonceptie werd in 1961 door Jordan in de Lancet melding gemaakt van het optreden van veneuze trombose bij een pilgebruikster (1). Hierop volgden meer meldingen en, in de jaren zestig en zeventig, ook grote vergelijkende studies waaruit bleek dat het hier inderdaad om een bijwerking van de pil ging. Deze onderzoeken toonden aan dat orale anticonceptiva niet alleen de kans op veneuze trombose verhoogden, maar ook op arteriële aandoeningen (2). Recent onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat deze trombotische bijwerkingen van orale anticonceptiva nog steeds bestaan (3).
Uniformity in Bottom-up Cu and Au Filling of High Aspect Ratio Features (2020)

Bottom-up metal deposition arising from variation of adsorbate coverage can be strongly impacted by modest variation of local concentrations and potential associated with deposition in other features. As a result, bottom-up copper filling of fully metallized features in suppressor-based electrolytes can be made to occur in all, none, or only a subset of recessed features on a substrate. Furthermore, and to the greater detriment of uniformity, localized deposition can continue over filled features, further retarding deposition in still unfilled features. In contrast, accelerator-based bottom-up gold deposition, as well as copper filling using different concentrations of the suppressing additives that yielded inhomogeneity, exhibit not only excellent uniformity during feature filling but also self-termination of deposition at a controllable depth within the filling features. This presentation will discuss the origins of these different behaviors in light of the underlying filling mechanisms. History, transport, potential-dependent kinetics and even cell impedance can all play a role.
Varicella-zoster virus infection of human neural cells in vivo (2004)

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) establishes latency in sensory ganglia and causes herpes zoster upon reactivation. These investigations in a nonobese diabetic severe combined immunodeficient mouse-human neural cell model showed that VZV infected both neurons and glial cells and spread efficiently from cell to cell in vivo. Neural cell morphology and protein synthesis were preserved, in contrast to destruction of epithelial cells by VZV. Expression of VZV genes in neural cells was characterized by nuclear retention of the major viral transactivating protein and a block in synthesis of the predominant envelope glycoprotein. The attenuated VZV vaccine strain retained infectivity for neurons and glial cells in vivo. VZV gene expression in differentiated human neural cells in vivo differs from neural infection by herpes simplex virus, which is characterized by latency-associated transcripts, and from lytic VZV replication in skin. The chimeric nonobese diabetic severe combined immunodeficient mouse model may be useful for investigating other neurotropic human viruses.
Transport Properties of Ionic Liquid and Sodium Salt Mixtures for Sodium-Ion Battery Electrolytes from Molecular Dynamics Simulation with a Self-Consistent Atomic Charge Determination (2020)

Ionic liquid (IL) has been considered as a potential electrolyte for developing next-generation sodium-ion batteries. A highly concentrated ionic system such as IL is characterized by the significant influence of intramolecular polarization and intermolecular charge transfer that vary with the combination of cations and anions in the system. In this work, a self-consistent atomic charge determination using the combination of classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and density functional theory (DFT) calculation is employed to investigate the transport properties of three mixtures of ILs with sodium salt relevant to the electrolyte for a sodium-ion battery: [1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, Na][bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide] ([C<sub>2</sub>C<sub>1</sub>im, Na][FSA]), [<i>N</i>-methyl-<i>N</i>-propylpyrrolidinium, Na][FSA] ([C<sub>3</sub>C<sub>1</sub>pyrr, Na][FSA]), and [K, Na][FSA]. The self-consistent method is versatile to address the intramolecular polarization and intermolecular charge transfer in response to the cation-anion combination, as well as the variation in their compositions. The structure and dynamic properties of IL mixtures obtained from the method are in line with those from the experimental works. The comparison to the Nernst-Einstein estimates shows that the electrical conductivity is reduced due to correlated motions among the ions, and the contribution to the conductivity from each ion species is not necessarily ranked in the same order as the diffusion coefficient. It is further seen that the increase of the sodium-ion composition reduces the fluidity of the system. The results highlight the potential of the method and the microscopic description that it can provide to assist the investigation toward a sensible design of IL mixtures as an electrolyte for a high-performance sodium-ion battery.
Collaborative dancing in tele-immersive environment (2006)

We present a study of collaborative dancing between remote dancers in a tele-immersive environment which features 3D full and real body capturing, wide field of view, multi-display 3D rendering, and attachment free participant. We invite two professional dancers to perform collaborative dancing in the environment. The coordination requires one dancer to take the lead while the other follows by appropriate movement. Throughout the experiment, the dancers are dancing at various motion rates to evaluate how well the collaborative dancing is supported with the current technical boundary. Our important findings indicate that 1) tele-immersive environments have strong potential impact on the concept of choreography and communication of live dance performance, 2) the presence of multi-view display, real body 3D rendering, audio channel, and less intrusiveness greatly enhances the immersive and dancing experience, and 3) the level of synchronization achieved by the dancers is higher than that expected from the video rate.

Discrimination of the conscious and not conscious perception of famous and unknown faces from EEG oscillatory activity: Application of Support Vector Machine classifiers. (2009)

If the state of conscious perception appreciably modulates the levels of synchronies in several frequency bands and cerebral areas, then each one of these levels has a certain capacity of discriminating the subjects perceptual consciousness.Combination of all measurements of these multiple levels of synchronies within a compound index, must make it possible to distinguish, in an optimal way, the state of subjects conscious or not conscious perception.Such an index was searched and identified in our study by using an experimental procedure putting alternatively the subject in a situation inducing a conscious and not conscious perception of famous and unknown faces.The synchronies varied significantly between the perceived and not perceived faces, particularly in the theta, alpha and gamma bands but they were specific to the subject and the face category.Existence of an unconscious perception of facial identity was showed in spite of the realization of a face detection task.
Interactions of Ceramic, Metallic and Polymeric Filters with Gaseous Contaminants (1994)

Outgassing characteristics of ceramic, metallic, and polymeric filters for H2O, O2, CO2, and CH4 were explored using APIMS. The outgassing data have been normalized with respect to the parameters that varied from one filter to the other. Hydrocarbon outgassing is also explored both at room temperature from freshly installed filters and at elevated temperatures. Polymeric filters appeared to be more transparent but did show hydrocarbon outgassing when heated to 50°C.
A Corrected Likelihood Approach for the Nonlinear Transformation Model with Application to Fluorescence Lifetime Measurements Using Exponential Mixtures (2010)

A fast and efficient estimation method is proposed that compensates the distortion in nonlinear transformation models. A likelihood-based estimator is developed that can be computed by an EM-type algorithm. The consistency of the estimator is shown and its limit distribution is provided. The new estimator is particularly well suited for fluorescence lifetime measurements, where only the shortest arrival time of a random number of emitted fluorescence photons can be detected and where arrival times are often modeled by a mixture of exponential distributions. The method is evaluated on real and synthetic data. Compared to currently used methods in fluorescence, the new estimator should allow a reduction of the acquisition time of an order of magnitude.

Abstract #5443: Pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-04929113 (SNX5422), an orally bioavailable heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor after single and multiple dose administration in patients with refractory solid tumor malignancies (2009)

AACR Annual Meeting-- Apr 18-22, 2009; Denver, CO

Introduction: Hsp90 inhibitors have the potential for broad anti-cancer effects based on the spectrum of known client proteins and increased effect on mutations that drive malignant transformation and cancer growth. PF-04929113 (SNX5422; 113) is a novel, oral, non-antibiotic, selective Hsp90 inhibitor prodrug, with preclinical anti-tumor activity in multiple tumor models and is a potentially important cancer therapy. The objective of this analysis was to describe the PK of 113 and its active moiety (PF- 04928473 /SNX2112; 473) after oral administration in patients with refractory solid tumor malignancies. Methods: Twenty-two subjects were enrolled in a multi-center, Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation study. Subjects were treated with113 QOD for 21 days at doses ranging from 4 to 56 mg/m2. Subjects at the 4 mg/m2 dose level received an additional single dose of 113, 7 days before beginning the 21-day cycle (PK from Day -7 in this cohort summarized with Day 1 data from other cohorts). Serial plasma concentrations of 113 and 473 were measured by LC-MS/MS after the first dose (Day 1) and after 11 doses (Day 21). PK parameters (mean ± standard deviation) were calculated using non-compartmental methods in WinNonLin (v.5.2, Pharsight, Mountain View, CA). Results: Concentrations of the prodrug (113) were <1 ng/ml at all timepoints. Concentrations of 473 were detectable immediately after administration (0.33 hr) and remained detectable through 48 h after administration. 473 reached maximal concentrations at a median of 2 h (range:0.33-6 h) after administration. . 473 terminal elimination half-life was 9.8 h on both Day 1 and Day 21 (±2.1 h and 1.5 h on Days 1 and 21, respectively). Area under the 473 plasma concentration versus time curve increased dose proportionally, with clearance estimated at 20 (±12) and 28 (±13) L/hr on Days 1 and 21, respectively. Maximal 473 concentrations did not display accumulation between Days 1 and 21, when normalized for dose, at 7.4 (±3.7) and 7.1 (±4.8) ng/mL/mg, respectively. Conclusions: The Hsp90 inhibitor prodrug 113 is orally bioavailable, rapidly converted to the active moiety (473), and displays linear PK. Maximal concentrations were observed 2 h after oral administration. The terminal elimination half-life was estimated at 9.8 h, consistent with the lack of significant drug accumulation after 21 days of QOD dosing.

On the Stability Properties of Perception-aware Chance-constrained MPC in Uncertain Environments (2021)

Perception-aware control systematically considers the interdependence between perception and control to optimize the overall performance of the closed-loop system subject to state and input-dependent uncertainty. That is, it accounts for the impact of control on sensing and of sensing on control. Recently, we proposed a perception-aware chance-constrained MPC (PAC-MPC) that considers the impact of control on the evolution of the environment uncertainty. In this paper, we obtain a stabilizing design for the PAC-MPC by first determining stability conditions in a general nonlinear setting and then deriving specific design rules for the linear-Gaussian case. The latter case results in a specific choice of the MPC cost function parameters, and in design conditions for that the estimation algorithm, that determine uncertainty propagation in the MPC prediction model, must satisfy.

Surface-mediated electroclinic effect in a chiral nematic liquid crystal (1992)

Optical phase-shift measurements are reported for a homeotropically aligned chiral nematic liquid crystal subject to an applied ac electric field E. A change in phase shift linear in E was observed, with a characteristic relaxation time \ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\approxeq}0.01 s. The effect vanished for the nonchiral (racemic) version of the material. The data, taken together with the symmetry, are consistent with an electroclinic effect at the surface, such that the induced molecular tilt propagates elastically into the bulk.
