Rotary sequencing valve with flexible port plate (2023)

Rotary sequencing valve comprising a rotor having a rotor face rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the rotor face, wherein the rotor face has a plurality of openings, one or more of which are disposed at a selected radial distance from the axis, and wherein the rotor includes at least one passage connecting at least one pair of the plurality of openings. The valve includes a flexible port plate having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side faces the rotor and engages the rotor such that the flexible port plate can be rotated coaxially by the rotor and can move axially with respect to the rotor, wherein the flexible port plate has a plurality of ports between the first and second sides, which ports are aligned with the openings in the rotor face. The valve also includes a stator having a stator face disposed coaxially with the rotor and the flexible port plate, wherein the second side of the flexible port plate is in sealable, slidable rotary contact with the stator face, wherein the stator face has a plurality of openings, some of which are disposed at the selected radial distance from the axis, and wherein the plurality of openings extend as passages through the stator. The valve may be used in pressure or temperature swing adsorption systems.
Zinfandel: An American English Word of Czech, German, Hungarian, and/or Slovak Origin (1996)

AbstractResearch on the origin of zinfandel has been going on for over fifty years, whereas investigation of the origin of the English word zinfandel has begun only recently. At first I thought that scrutiny of the word would require expertise in viticulture and enology. Lacking such knowledge, I abandoned the quest, but later realized that since the origin of a significans need not be parallel to the origin of a significandum, familiarity with grapes and wine, though helpful, was not essential. The search began anew and possible etymons turned up in Czech, German, Hungarian, and Slovak.If American English zinfandal ∼ zinfandel ∼ zinfardel ∼ zinfidel ∼ zinfindel has only one immediate etymon, Czech cinifádl seems to be the best candidate. If it has a second immediate source, that source is probably German. Hungarian and Slovak are not likely sources of the English word.
Computer-based support for clinical decision making. (1991)

Although computers are now commonly used for financial purposes in hospitals and physicians' offices, most physicians do not routinely use them in patient care. And in hospitals where laboratory data are provided on computer terminals, the displays are often difficult to use and programs that offer assistance in interpreting the data are usually unavailable. We have developed decision support programs that are widely used with the clinical computing system at our hospital. This paper describes the programs and how the clinicians use them.
Mechanical Sensorless Control of PMSM With Online Estimation of Stator Resistance (2004)

This paper provides an improvement in sensorless control performance of nonsalient-pole permanent-magnet synchronous machines. To ensure sensorless operation, most of the existing methods require that the initial position error as well as the parameters uncertainties must be limited. In order to overcome these drawbacks, we study them analytically and present a solution using an online identification method which is easy to implement and is highly stable. A stability analysis based on Lyapunov's linearization method shows the stability of the closed-loop system with the proposed estimator combined with the sensorless algorithm. This approach does not need a well-known initial rotor position and makes the sensorless control more robust with respect to the stator resistance variations at low speed. The simulation and experimental results illustrate the validity of the analytical approach and the efficiency of the proposed method.
Assessment of the SAGE II version 6.2 water vapor data set through intercomparison with ATMOS/ATLAS‐3 measurements (2004)

Based on the intercomparisons with ATMOS/ATLAS‐3 measurements, the SAGE II (Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II) version 6.2 water vapor profiles exhibit significant improvements over earlier versions of data products. A previously reported SAGE II dry bias in the lower stratosphere relative to ATMOS version 3 data set has been effectively eliminated. In the new version, the agreement between SAGE II and ATMOS is generally within 15% with no systematic biases throughout the entire altitude range of 12 km to 40 km. The only exception is the situation for which 1020‐nm aerosol extinctions exceed the recommended upper limit of 3 × 10 −4 km −1 . Based on the comparisons, the reported uncertainties for SAGE II water vapor mixing ratios appear to be over‐estimated by a factor of 2 to 3 for the lower stratosphere.
Identity Preserving Face Completion for Large Ocular Region Occlusion (2018)

We present a novel deep learning approach to synthesize complete face images in the presence of large ocular region occlusions. This is motivated by recent surge of VR/AR displays that hinder face-to-face communications. Different from the state-of-the-art face inpainting methods that have no control over the synthesized content and can only handle frontal face pose, our approach can faithfully recover the missing content under various head poses while preserving the identity. At the core of our method is a novel generative network with dedicated constraints to regularize the synthesis process. To preserve the identity, our network takes an arbitrary occlusion-free image of the target identity to infer the missing content, and its high-level CNN features as an identity prior to regularize the searching space of generator. Since the input reference image may have a different pose, a pose map and a novel pose discriminator are further adopted to supervise the learning of implicit pose transformations. Our method is capable of generating coherent facial inpainting with consistent identity over videos with large variations of head motions. Experiments on both synthesized and real data demonstrate that our method greatly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of both synthesis quality and robustness.
A parallel virtual machine for efficient scheme compilation (1990)

Programs compiled by Gambit, our Scheme compiler, achieve performance as much as twice that of the fastest available Scheme compilers. Gambit is easily ported, while retaining its high performance, through the use of a simple virtual machine (PVM). PVM allows a wide variety of machine-independent optimizations and it supports parallel computation based on the future construct. PVM conveys high-level information bidirectionally between the machine-independent front end of the compiler and the machine-dependent back end, making it easy to implement a number of common back end optimizations that are difficult to achieve for other virtual machines.

The Effect of Chelating Diphosphine Ligands on Homogeneous Catalytic Decarbonylation Reactions Using Cationic Rhodium Catalysts (1982)

Catalytic decarbonylation of aldehydes has been studied using mono- and bisdiphosphine complexes of Rh(I). The catalyst [Rh(dppp)2]BF4, where dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, decarbonylates aldehydes homogeneously with rates that are more than two orders of magnitude faster than with Rh(PPh3)3Cl. Additionally, good catalytic activities were measured under mild thermal conditions (100 turnovers hr-1 for benzaldehyde at 150°C) and the reactions are highly selective. The catalysts are stable for days and turnovers in excess of 100,000 have been achieved. Experiments on a variety of aldehydes have established the general usefulness of this reaction in organic synthesis. Kinetic measurements, P-31 NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction studies have permitted some general mechanistic conclusions. For the catalytic decarbonylation of benzaldehyde, a rapid pre-equilibrium is established (Rh(dppp)2+ + PhCHO ⇄ (PhCHO)Rh(dppp)2+) prior to oxidative addition, which is the rate-determining step. A mechanistic understanding of this reaction is important since it is a model for the discreet processes in other catalytic reactions that use organometallic catalysts.
A study on the measuring health literacy in patients with diabetes in Korea (2016)

Objectives: To develop and evaluate the applicability of a health literacy instrument in patients with diabetes by measuring their ability to understand diabetes-related words. Methods: Diabetes-related words were extracted from the Korean Diabetes Association's website and literature reviews. In the first phase, three nursing researchers evaluated 2,661 diabetes-related words based on graded lexical vocabularies and what patients need to know about self-care, and the narrowed them to 255 words. In the second phase, a content validity assessment was conducted by an expert panel. In the third phase, the remaining 25 words were administered to 200 conscientious with type 2 patients aged 40 years old and using a Gallup survey from March 3 to 17, 2016 in Seoul, Korea. Descriptive analysis and Rasch analysis were performed to test psychometric properties. Results: The mean score was 21.47 with a range of 0 to 25. The Cronbach's <TEX>${\alpha}$</TEX> was .92. The health literacy instrument using diabetes-related words had a ceiling effect response. Conclusions: Diabetes-related words are useful and reliable items for testing the health literacy of diabetes patients. Future study is needed to develop and validate health literacy measures for diabetic patients.
Two New Butenolides Produced by an Actinomycete Streptomyces sp. (2014)

Two new butenolides, (4S)-4,10-dihydroxydodec-2-en-1,4-olide (1) and (4S)-4,8,10-trihydroxy-10-methyldodec-2-en-1,4-olide (2), together with three known compounds, MKN-003B (3), MKN-003C (4), and cyclo(Ala-Leu) (5), were isolated from the culture broth of a bacterium of the genus Streptomyces derived from soil environment. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. The inhibitory activities of the butenolides against eight pathogenic fungi were evaluated. All of the butenolides showed moderate-or-weak antifungal activities in a broth microdilution assay.
Elektronisch kontrollierbare Spinkopplung in Polyoxomolybdat‐ Clustern des Keplerat‐Typs (2009)

Redox-kontrollierter Magnetismus: Die partielle Reduktion von Polyoxomolybdat-Baugruppen in Kepleraten hat einen erheblichen Einfluss auf den durch diese diamagnetischen Gruppen vermittelten magnetischen Superaustausch. Die Isolierung einer 16-fach reduzierten {MoV/VI72FeIII30}-Spezies zeigt, wie solche Cluster mit definierter Besetzung der Spinzentren durch Raman-kontrollierte Reaktionsführung erhalten werden können.
Microwave Dielectric Properties of Li 2 TiO 3 Ceramics Doped with ZnO–B 2 O 3 Frit (2009)

A type of new low sintering temperature ceramic, Li 2 TiO 3 ceramic, has been found. Although it is difficult for the Li 2 TiO 3 compound to be sintered compactly at temperatures above 1000°C for the volatilization of Li 2 O, dense Li 2 TiO 3 ceramics were obtained by conventional solid‐state reaction method at the sintering temperature of 900°C with the addition of ZnO–B 2 O 3 frit. The sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of Li 2 TiO 3 ceramics with less ZnO–B 2 O 3 frit (≤3.0 wt%) doping were investigated. The addition of ZnO–B 2 O 3 frit can lower the sintering temperature of the Li 2 TiO 3 ceramics, but it does not apparently degrade the microwave dielectric properties of the Li 2 TiO 3 ceramics. Typically, the good microwave dielectric properties of ɛ r =23.06, Q × f =32 275 GHz, τ f = 35.79 ppm/°C were obtained for 2.5 wt% ZnO–B 2 O 3 frit‐doped Li 2 TiO 3 ceramics sintered at 900°C for 2 h. The porosity was 0.08%. The Li 2 TiO 3 ceramic system may be a promising candidate for low‐temperature cofired ceramics applications.
Abstract A158: Delivering type I interferon to dendritic cells empowers tumor eradication and immune combination treatments (2019)

Abstract An ideal generic cancer immunotherapy should mobilize the immune system to destroy tumor cells without harming healthy cells and remain active in case of recurrence. Furthermore, it should preferably not rely on tumor-specific surface markers, as these are only available in a limited set of malignancies. Despite approval for treatment of various cancers, clinical application of cytokines is still impeded by their multiple toxic side effects. Type I interferon (IFN), for instance, has a long history in the treatment of cancer, but its multifaceted activity pattern and complex side effects prevent its optimal clinical use. Here we develop AcTakines (Activity-on-Target cytokines), optimized (mutated) immunocytokines that are up to 1000-fold more potent on targeT-cells, allowing specific signaling in selected cell types only. As conventional dendritic cells (cDC) are essential for IFN antitumor efficacy, we targeted type I IFN-derived “AcTaferon (AFN)” to Clec9A+ cDC. Clec9A-AFN therapy displayed strong antitumor activity in murine melanoma (B16), breast carcinoma (4T1) and lymphoma models (A20), as well as against human RL lymphoma in immunodeficient NSG mice reconstituted with a human immune system. In sharp contrast to wild-type IFN therapy, the antitumor efficacy of Clec9A-AFN was not accompanied by any detectable toxicity, assessed by body weight and several hematologic parameters. Clec9A-AFN effects were lost in CD8-depleted or Batf3-/- mice, and depended on IFN signaling in cDCs but not in T lymphocytes. Combined with anti-PDL1 immune checkpoint blockade, Treg-depleting anti-CTLA4 + anti-OX40 therapy, immunogenic chemotherapy, or low-dose TNF, complete tumor regressions and long-lasting tumor immunity (memory) were obtained, still without any adverse effects. Our findings thus indicate that DC-targeted AFN provides a highly efficient, off-the-shelf and safe cancer immunotherapy, with possible application in a broad range of malignancies.

5G New Radio and Non-Terrestrial Networks: Reaching New Heights (2022)

As the need for limitless connectivity surges, non-terrestrial networks (NTN) will play a central role in fifth generation (5G) and beyond communications. The 3rd Gener-ation Partnership Project (3GPP) defines NTN as networks, or segments of networks, using an airborne or space-borne vehicle as a relay node or base station. An NTN-enhanced cellular network supplements a conventional terrestrial cellular network. This article provides an overview of NTN-enhanced cellular networks with a particular focus on satellite-mobile direct communications. First, we review satellite system classifications such as Geostation-ary Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Low Earth Orbit (LEO), spectrum usage, and key challenges of satellite communications. We then summarize recent 3GPP activities in NTN. In addition, we describe our recent proof-of-concept system involving a satellite channel emulator and modification of the 5G New Radio (NR) protocol stack to handle the challenge of long round-trip time - demonstrating the feasibility of NTN and the adoption of NTN-enhanced cellular networks in 5G and beyond communications. Finally, we highlight the main open issues and future research challenges of NTN-enhanced cellular networks.
On the environmental gas sensing using MEMS FTIR spectrometer in the near-infrared region (2016)

Miniaturized MEMS FTIR spectrometers are one of most important candidates for portable environmental sensing due to their compacted and low cost, while leveraging the optical sensing advantages. Spectroscopy-based gas sensing is usually carried out in the mid-infrared taking advantage of the large absorption cross section, where the challenge is the bulky and expensive detector system standing as an obstacle against portability and low cost. In this work, the feasibility of environmental sensing using near-infrared MEMS spectrometer is studied with the aid of computer simulations and experimental measurements. The considered gases in the study are H2O vapor and CO2. The study was carried out considering gas light-gas interaction lengths of 20 cm, 1 m, 6 m and 12 m. The correct detection possibility of CO2 absorption spectrum in the presence of relatively high concentration H2O was studied versus the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) using principle component regression taking into account the effect of the limited spectrometer resolution. The results indicates that a 40-dB SNR can result in a 5.4% error in the CO2 concentration prediction with 1 m interaction length compared to 1.8% in case of 6 m interaction length. An experimental optical setup was constructed and the absorption spectrum was recorded for different light-air interaction lengths.

Molecular optomechanical approach to surface-enhanced Raman scattering in plasmonic cavities (2017)

Summary form only given. Recent advances on Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) have led to a delicate control of the coupling between extremely-confined plasmonic resonances supported by metallic structures and the vibrational states of molecules. As a consequence, experiments have started to emerge that cannot be easily explained using standard models based on the classical enhancement of the plasmonic fields near smooth metallic systems[1,2].Here, we focus on a novel theoretical framework that treats SERS as a molecular optomechanical process[3]. Contrary to typical optomechanical systems, SERS in plasmonic cavities is characterized by much larger values of losses and coupling strengths, thus opening new regimes of optomechanical interaction.
Steady state molecular luminescence radiance expressions assuming narrowband excitation (1978)

Steady state luminescence radiance expressions for two-level and three-level molecular systems are derived in terms of transition probabilities, source irradiance, emission pathlength, absorption band halfwidth, total molecule concentration, frequencies of the transitions, statistical weights after transitions, and nonradiational activation and deactivation rate constants. Limiting radiance expressions are given for both low (conventional sources) and high (lasers) intensity sources. Saturation irradiances for the two-level and three-level molecular systems are also given. Conclusions concerning the expressions are given. One conclusion, which has special importance, involves the production of similar phosphorescence intensities whether the first triplet electronic state is excited directly or is excited via the first excited singlet with intersystem crossing to the first triplet state.
Centralizing Data Management with Considerations of Uncertainty and Information-Based Flexibility (2013)

This paper applies the theory of real options to analyze how the value of information-based flexibility should affect the decision to centralize or decentralize data management under low and high uncertainty. This study makes two main contributions. First, we show that in the presence of low uncertainty, centralization of data management decisions creates more total surplus for the firm as the similarity of business units increases. In contrast, in the presence of high uncertainty, centralization creates more total surplus as the dissimilarity of business units increases. The pivoting distinction trades the benefit of reduction of uncertainty from dissimilar businesses for centralization (with cost saving) against the benefit of flexibility from decentralization. Second, the framework helps senior management evaluate the trade-offs in data centralization that drive different business models of the firm. We illustrate the application of these propositions formally using an analytical model and informally using case vignettes and simulation.
