Fragmentation Channels in Dissociative Electron Recombination with Hydronium and Other Astrophysically Important Species (2010)

We report on our recent studies of dissociative recombination (DR) employing two different fragment imaging detection techniques at the TSR storage ring in Heidelberg, Germany. Principles of an upgraded 3D optical system and the new energy-sensitive multistrip detector (EMU) are explained together with possible applications in reaction dynamics studies. With the EMU imaging detector we succeeded to observe the branching ratios after DR of deuterated hydronium ions D(3)O(+) at energies of 0-0.5 and 4-21 eV. The branching ratios are almost constant at low energies while above 6 eV both oxygen-producing channels O + D + D + D and O + D(2) + D strongly increase and dominate by about 85% at 11 eV. To demonstrate further capabilities of our fragment imaging detectors, we also summarize some of our additional recent studies on DR of molecular ions important for astrophysics as well as for fundamental unimolecular dynamics.
Quality Measures in Upper Limb Surgery (2016)

Our review identified opportunities to develop more measures in the structure and outcome domains as well as measures addressing patient and family engagement, public health, safety, care coordination, and efficient use of resources. The most common existing measures-process measures addressing care-might not be the best measures of upper limb surgery quality given the relative lack of evidence for their use in care improvement.
Stair‐step tracheal repair: Surgical technique (2020)

Typical surgical treatment for invasive thyroid carcinoma at the level of the cricoid substantially reduces surrounding cartilaginous support and risks damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). We present a novel tracheal reconstructive technique that minimizes this injury risk. A 72-year-old man with recurrent invasive thyroid carcinoma underwent cricotracheal resection and reconstruction using a stair-step approach. Diseased cartilage was removed by a left hemitracheal and hemicricoid resection. A portion of normal trachea was also resected on the contralateral right side, removing the third and fourth hemitracheal rings, to close the defect with a sliding tracheoplasty and avoid dissection near the right cricothyroid joint on the side of the functioning RLN. The trachea was elevated superiorly and reanastomosed to the cut margin of the cricoid. This novel stair-step approach to tracheal reconstruction offers reduced risk of injury to the contralateral RLN while still establishing a patent airway.
Cytoskeleton-Associated Protein 4: Functions Beyond the Endoplasmic Reticulum in Physiology and Disease (2012)

Cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4; also known as p63, CLIMP-63, or ERGIC-63) is a 63 kDa, reversibly palmitoylated and phosphorylated, type II transmembrane (TM) protein, originally identified as a resident of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). When localized to the ER, a major function of CKAP4 is to anchor rough ER to microtubules, organizing the overall structure of ER with respect to the microtubule network. There is also steadily accumulating evidence for diverse roles for CKAP4 localized outside the ER, including data demonstrating functionality of cell surface forms of CKAP4 in various cell types and of CKAP4 in the nucleus. We will review the recent studies that provide evidence for the existence of CKAP4 in multiple cellular compartments (i.e., ER, plasma membrane, and the nucleus) and discuss CKAP4’s role in the regulation of various physiological and pathological processes, such as interstitial cystitis, drug-induced cytotoxicity, pericullar proteolytic activity, and lung lipid homeostasis.
Single fermion manipulation via superconducting phase differences in multiterminal Josephson junctions (2014)

The authors predict that a Josephson junction between three rather than the usual two superconductors enables the control of different spin states with unprecedented sensitivity. Moreover, a vortexlike flow of supercurrent can break an electron pair to trap an unpaired electron, showing a way to use the supercurrent as a novel tool for spin control, whose speed and locality of operation is superior to standard methods.

Donor/Acceptor Photovoltaic Cells Fabricated on p-Doped Organic Single-Crystal Substrates (2020)

In this study, the operation of donor/acceptor photovoltaic cells fabricated on homoepitaxially grown <i>p</i>-doped rubrene single-crystal substrates is demonstrated. The photocurrent density is dominated by the sheet conductivity (σ<sub>□</sub>) of the <i>p</i>-type single-crystal layer doped to 100 ppm with an iron chloride (Fe<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>6</sub>) acceptor. A 65 mm thick <i>p-</i>type rubrene single-crystal substrate is expected to be required for a photocurrent density of 20 mA·cm<sup>-2</sup>. An entire bulk doping technique for rubrene single crystals is indispensable for the fabrication of practical organic single-crystal solar cells.

Silver nanoparticles less than 5 nm in diameter are accessible by a simple photochemical reduction in water, templated by p-phosphonated calix[4]arene and its O-alkyl derivatives, in a way depending on the pH of the reagent solution.
Rate of skeletal-related events (SREs) for abiraterone acetate (AA) versus enzalutamide (ENZ) in prostate cancer: A population-based study using the SEER-Medicare database. (2021)

e17038 Background: Skeletal-related events are common in men with prostate cancer, and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. AA and ENZ are novel androgen signaling inhibitors used in the treatment of metastatic prostate castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). As directly comparative efficacy data do not exist between AA and ENZ, the differing toxicity profiles inform treatment selection. It is unknown whether SRE rates differ in a real-world population between AA, which is given with corticosteroids, and ENZ, which is associated with imbalance and falls. Methods: The national SEER-Medicare linked database was used to identify men with prostate cancer who received AA or ENZ between 2011-2015; approval during this period was solely for mCRPC. Inclusion criteria included Medicare Part A+B coverage 1 year before and after first receipt of AA/ENZ, without any HMO enrollment. Baseline demographic and comorbidity data were gathered. Diagnosis and procedure claims codes were used to identify SREs, defined as pathologic fracture, surgery to bone, radiation to bone, or spinal cord compression. The time to SRE was defined as time from first receipt of AA/ENZ to the first SRE of any type. A multivariable competing risk regression analysis including death as a competing risk was performed. Results: 5,856 men with prostate cancer who first received AA (N = 4,207) or ENZ (N = 1,649) were identified. The median age at initiation of AA/ENZ was 70 years (range 65-101); 78% were White, 12% Black, 4% Hispanic, 3% Asian, and 4% Other. The median follow-up was 14 months. The overall SRE rate was 13.1% after AA/ENZ start: 574 (13.6%) AA and 194 (11.8%) ENZ, with a cumulative incidence of 11.9% at 2 years. Median overall survival was 16 months (14.4 months for AA and 18.3 months for ENZ). Age, stage at diagnosis, race/ethnicity, baseline comorbidities, and prior history of SRE were balanced between AA vs ENZ, aside from baseline osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis (48.0% AA vs 53.2% ENZ, P &lt; 0.001) and baseline Alzheimer’s dementia (9.2% AA vs 11.1% ENZ, P = 0.03). After controlling for these potential risk factors, receipt of AA versus ENZ was not associated with time to SRE (relative risk ratio [RR] = 0.90, 95% CI 0.77-1.06, P = 0.22). Osteoporosis (RR 1.22, 95% CI 1.01-1.49, P = 0.04), osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis (RR 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.43, P &lt; 0.01), and prior history of SRE (RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.07-1.59, P &lt; 0.01) were statistically significant risk factors for SRE. Conclusions: In this real-world population of men with prostate cancer, there was no difference in time to SRE between AA and ENZ. Clinical decision-making on whether to prescribe AA or ENZ should be informed by other potential toxicities as well as cross-resistance with sequencing of these therapies. Analysis of impact of bone protective agent use is underway.
Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin versus mitomycin C for superficial bladder cancer: a formal meta-analysis of comparative studies on recurrence and toxicity. (2003)

The results suggest superiority of BCG over mitomycin C for prevention of tumor recurrences in the combined data and particularly in the BCG maintenance treatment subgroup, irrespective of the actual (intermediate or high) tumor risk status. The toxicity with BCG is higher but does not differ between BCG maintenance and nonmaintenance groups.
Building Knowledge Lifecycle and Situation Awareness in Self-Managed Cognitive Future Internet Networks (2009)

This paper describes aspects for developing cognitive functionalities in self-managed networks according to the vision of the future Internet networks being developed in the Self-NET project. The project develops and prototypes architecture and solutions for realising a vision on Internet evolution based on integration of cognition and autonomics in self-managed networks demonstrated in numerous and diverse use-cases developed. Two specific topics are investigated in the paper as they present the building blocks of this development. The first topic is definition and formulation of the knowledge lifecycle in self-managed networks and the second one is on building situation awareness in such networks as a ubiquitous concept in dynamic control. Both of the topics are interrelated and are crucial elements of building cognitive networks primarily as their resolving and definition demonstrate the practical side of applying diverse available work on the topics and provide a focus for their understanding and development.
3D SURFACE GENERATION FROM AERIAL THERMAL IMAGERY (2015)

Abstract. Aerial thermal imagery has been recently applied to quantitative analysis of several scenes. For the mapping purpose based on aerial thermal imagery, high accuracy photogrammetric process is necessary. However, due to low geometric resolution and low contrast of thermal imaging sensors, there are some challenges in precise 3D measurement of objects. In this paper the potential of thermal video in 3D surface generation is evaluated. In the pre-processing step, thermal camera is geometrically calibrated using a calibration grid based on emissivity differences between the background and the targets. Then, Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation from thermal video imagery is performed in four steps. Initially, frames are extracted from video, then tie points are generated by Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm. Bundle adjustment is then applied and the camera position and orientation parameters are determined. Finally, multi-resolution dense image matching algorithm is used to create 3D point cloud of the scene. Potential of the proposed method is evaluated based on thermal imaging cover an industrial area. The thermal camera has 640×480 Uncooled Focal Plane Array (UFPA) sensor, equipped with a 25 mm lens which mounted in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The obtained results show the comparable accuracy of 3D model generated based on thermal images with respect to DSM generated from visible images, however thermal based DSM is somehow smoother with lower level of texture. Comparing the generated DSM with the 9 measured GCPs in the area shows the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value is smaller than 5 decimetres in both X and Y directions and 1.6 meters for the Z direction.

Stabilized 9% efficiency of large-area (∼5000cm/sup 2/) a-Si/a-SiGe tandem submodules using high-rate deposition (2002)

High-rate deposition of photovoltaic layers of a-Si/a-SiGe tandem solar cells has been investigated using RF (13.56 MHz) plasma-CVD method while keeping the substrate temperature below 200/spl deg/C. A remarkable improvement in film quality and device performance can be attained at a high deposition rate of /spl ges/3 /spl Aring//s by optimizing hydrogen dilution and other deposition conditions. It is of great importance to utilize the effect of hydrogen dilution which can reduce the incorporation of excess hydrogen in the films. The world's highest stabilized efficiency of 9.3% has been achieved for a large-area (5150cm/sup 2/) a-Si/a-SiGe tandem submodule whose top and bottom photovoltaic layers are deposited at /spl sim/3 /spl Aring//s using an optimized hydrogen dilution. A smart back reflector, with a high light scattering effect, and other approaches to enhance the optical confinement effect, are also proposed for further improvement of cell performance.

Cost of ownership for inspection equipment (1993)

Cost of Ownership (CoO) models are increasingly a part of the semiconductor equipment evaluation and selection process. These models enable semiconductor manufacturers and equipment suppliers to quantify a system in terms of dollars per wafer. Because of the complex nature of the semiconductor manufacturing process, there are several key attributes that must be considered in order to accurately reflect the true 'cost of ownership'. While most CoO work to date has been applied to production equipment, the need to understand cost of ownership for inspection and metrology equipment presents unique challenges. Critical parameters such as detection sensitivity as a function of size and type of defect are not included in current CoO models yet are, without question, major factors in the technical evaluation process and life-cycle cost. This paper illustrates the relationship between these parameters, as components of the alpha and beta risk, and cost of ownership.
Calibration of the two microphone transfer function method to measure acoustic impedance in a wide frequency range (2006)

In many acoustic simulations, particularly when using lumped parameter models or electrical analog cir-cuits, the acoustic impedance of a component needs to be determined accurately. A widely used acoustic impedance measurement method is the ”two microphone transfer function method”, which is standardized in ISO-10534-2. When the acoustic impedance is needed over a wide frequency band, for example from 10Hz to 10kHz, this method faces some limitations. In this paper, a new calibration method will be proposed such that acoustic impedances can be measured with high accuracy over a wide frequency range. The estimation of the speed of sound has been eliminated. Using the measured transfer functions between the two sensors at two different reference sections, the sensor positions will be accurately calibrated. The calibration of the sensor mismatch has become superfluous, so interchanging positions of the sensors is not necessary. A recur-sive procedure has been proposed to maximize the microphone position accuracy. The resulting calibration procedure has been reduced to the accurate determination of the sensor positions. 1
Clinical Applications of Three-Dimensional Photography in Breast Surgery (2002)

Three-dimensional imaging in breast surgery has several uses clinically. The most practical applications are for the evaluation of breast asymmetries, both congenital and acquired, and for the evaluation of factors affecting breast shape in augmentation mammaplasty. Other uses of three-dimensional imaging that we have found clinically helpful are for evaluation of patients desiring reduction mammaplasty and for evaluation of patients undergoing unilateral breast reconstruction to determine the expander and permanent implant size that gives the best symmetry with the contralateral breast. We present five cases in which we investigate the use of three-dimensional imaging clinically by using the images to determine quantitative information about the breast, such as volume or projection. Overall, three-dimensional imaging is very helpful in providing objective information about the breast for use in preoperative planning. In addition, by analyzing clinical cases, it can provide objective data about the breast and surgical mammaplasty (especially augmentation mammaplasty) that may help surgeons better understand those factors that contribute to breast shape and influence surgical outcomes. There are currently some limitations of this system, influenced by patients with significant ptosis or obesity, which may introduce errors into the three-dimensional data, making them unreliable. However, we believe three-dimensional imaging has great clinical potential in surgical mammaplasty.

A new rotating test facility for the experimental characterisation of shaft seals (2019)

Turbomachinery shaft seals suffer from rubs caused by thermal growth, assembly misalignment and rotor dynamic vibration at engine start-up and shut-down. Rubs are detrimental to performance, leading to a decrease in overall efficiency and costly corrective maintenance. In recent years, compliant seals have been developed, allowing for variable clearances and a reduced frequency of seal rubs. The design goal for compliant seals is therefore, to maintain a tight clearance between rotating and non-rotating parts, throughout the transient conditions experienced in engines. This paper presents the design of a new high-speed rotating test facility developed for the performance characterisation of turbine shaft seals. The rig features a 254 mm diameter rotor, capable of rotating at speeds of up to 15,000 rpm (equivalent to rotor surface speeds up to 200 m/s). The maximum pressure difference across a seal is 3.5 bar.
Plasma functionalization for cyclic transition between neutral and charged excitons in monolayer MoS2 (2016)

Monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) has photoluminescence (PL) properties that can greatly vary via transition between neutral and charged exciton PLs depending on carrier density. Here, for the first time, we present a chemical doping method for reversible transition between neutral and charged excitons of 1L-MoS2 using chlorine-hydrogen-based plasma functionalization. The PL of 1L-MoS2 is drastically increased by p-type chlorine plasma doping in which its intensity is easily tuned by controlling the plasma treatment duration. We find that despite their strong adhesion, a post hydrogen plasma treatment can very effectively dedope chlorine adatoms in a controllable way while maintaining robust structural integrity, which enables well-defined reversible PL control of 1L-MoS2. After exhaustive chlorine dedoping, the hydrogen plasma process induces n-type doping of 1L-MoS2, degrading the PL further, which can also be recovered by subsequent chlorine plasma treatment, extending the range of tunable PL into a bidirectional regime. This cyclically-tunable carrier doping method can be usefully employed in fabricating highly-tunable n- and p-type domains in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides suitable for two-dimensional electro-optic modulators, on-chip lasers, and spin- and valley-polarized light-emitting diodes.
Myosin-dependent contractile activity of the actin cytoskeleton modulates the spatial organization of cell–cell contacts in cultured epitheliocytes (1999)

The spatial organization of cell-cell adherens junctions is distinct in cultured cells from two different tissue types, specifically, epitheliocytes and fibroblasts. In epitheliocytes, contacts are localized tangentially, along contacting cell edges and in association with circumferential actin bundles. Contacts between fibroblasts are radially oriented; that is, they are perpendicular to the overlapping edges of the cells and are associated with straight bundles of actin filaments. In the present study, we establish that the spatial organization of cell-cell contacts in the epithelial cell line IAR-2 can be converted from the typical tangential pattern to the radial pattern observed in fibroblasts. This transition can be induced by treatment with two agents, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and nocodazole, which have different modes of action. Inhibition of myosin contractility reverses tangential-to-radial conversion of cell-cell contacts. These data suggest that formation of radially aligned contacts depends on modulation of contractility within the actin cytoskeleton through the myosin motor protein. The results open the possibility that modulation of the spatial organization of cell-cell contacts may play important roles in regulating organization and physiological functions of epithelial tissues.
A novel three-phase single-switch discontinuous-mode AC-DC buck-boost converter with high-quality input current waveforms and isolated output (1994)

In this paper, a new three-phase single-switch AC-DC flyback converter system is presented. The system operates in the discontinuous mode. The simple structure of its power and control circuit, low mains current distortion, and resistive fundamental behavior, as well as the high-frequency isolation of the controlled output voltage, have to be pointed out. Besides the analysis of the stationary operating behavior, the dependencies of the peak values, average values, and rms values of the device currents, and of the maximum blocking voltages across the power electronic devices on the circuit parameters, are given as analytic approximations. The theoretical analysis is verified by digital simulation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
