A terahertz imaging receiver in 0.13&#x03BC;m SiGe BiCMOS technology (2011)

This paper presents an integrated THz imaging receiver in bulk 0.13μm SiGe technology. The receiver, based on direct power detection, achieves a peak responsivity of 2.6MV/W and 700kV/W and a NEP of 8.7pW/√Hz and 32.4 pW/√Hz at 0.25 THz and 0.3 THz, respectively. No external silicon lens or post-processing, such as substrate thinning, was employed for improving antenna gain, efficiency and reducing power loss in substrate modes. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the lowest reported NEP in silicon at THz frequencies, without the use of expensive post-processing or external silicon lens.
Evaluation of car-pedestrian incident data conversion technique in near-miss incident database to use driving simulator scenarios (2016)

In recent years, the traffic accident shows gradual decreasing in the number of fatalities, whereas slowly decreasing the total number of accidents and injuries. In order to decrease the total number of car-pedestrian accident, it is necessary to investigate what kind of accident has happened and evaluate driver’s behavior. So the feature of accident and near-crash incident involving pedestrian was analyzed from near-miss incident database. And to estimate driver’s behavior on driving simulators, near-miss incident database data was fitting on the scnarios of driving simulator.
Estimation of time delays with fewer sensors than sources (1998)

A number of papers have been dealing with the problem of estimating the differential delay of an unknown signal impinging on two sensors. The present contribution deals with the presence of more than one source, which is a case that has never been dealt with before. The solution resorts to slices of high-order spectra, and the full spectral band of the signals is utilized in order to recover the delays. It can be viewed as an improvement to the classical procedure consisting of searching the autocorrelation for local maxima, which does not work when delays are smaller than the source correlation length.
Unconventional Logic on Memristor-Based Oscillatory Medium (2021)

Unconventional computing systems, inspired by nature's mechanisms, provide new ways to efficiently perform several rather complex computations. Instead of the commonly used digital computing systems, a well-known unconventional approach is the utilisation of oscillating networks to execute computations. The rich dynamics of such networks can be exploited in nanoelectronic-scale by novel devices, like memristors that incorporate inherent memory features and computing capabilities. In this work, the threshold switching mechanism of low-voltage forming-free CBRAM devices is used to develop memristor-based oscillators, which are able to function as a medium for oscillation-based computations. Given the local diffusive coupling of the proposed memristor-based oscillators, the medium is capable of performing Boolean computations through oscillation interactions.
Increased secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interferon-gamma by mononuclear leukocytes in patients with ischemic heart disease. Relevance in superoxide anion generation. (1994)

Similar increases in cytokine secretion by mononuclear leukocytes in stable or unstable angina pectoris indicate that the increased cytokine release is not a nonspecific inflammatory response in acute myocardial ischemia. Increased cytokine secretion in ischemic heart disease may play a role in superoxide radical generation, endothelial injury, deposition and activation of cellular elements on the vessel wall, and possibly in the progression of atherosclerosis.
Quantitative aortography assessment of aortic regurgitation (2020)

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is undeniably invading the “surgical” space and expanding its indication. Over the last five years, there has been a real revolution in TAVI technology with the introduction of newer devices that aimed to simplify the procedure1. These swift advances have transformed the landscape in structural heart disease and culminated in a broader use of TAVI in clinical practice2,3. The procedure is not only spreading worldwide but is also becoming less aggressive for the patient with the so-called “minimalist approach”.
Surface plasmon-enhanced nanoscopy of intracellular cytoskeletal actin filaments using random nanodot arrays (2014)

The feasibility of super-resolution microscopy has been investigated based on random localization of surface plasmon using blocked random nanodot arrays. The resolution is mainly determined by the size of localized fields in the range of 100-150 nm. The concept was validated by imaging FITC-conjugated phalloidin that binds to cellular actin filaments. The experimental results confirm improved resolution in reconstructed images. Effect of far-field registration on image reconstruction was also analyzed. Correlation between reconstructed images was maintained to be above 81% after registration. Nanodot arrays are synthesized by temperature-annealing without sophisticated lithography and thus can be mass-produced in an extremely large substrate. The results suggest a super-resolution imaging technique that can be accessible and available in large amounts.
Abstract B1-11: Application of the CN-AVG method to reconstruct the evolutionary history of glioblastoma multiforme (2015)

Abstract We have constructed evolutionary histories of cancer genomes using a new method, the Copy Number Ancestral Variation Graph (CN-AVG). Unlike previous cancer evolutionary studies which infer the clonal structure and evolutionary history of a tumor using single nucleotide variant frequencies, the CN-AVG method predicts the ordering of structural rearrangements, such as inversions, duplications, and deletions, using copy number changes and breakpoints derived from whole genome sequencing data. Because finding the most parsimonious ordering of genomic rearrangements is an NP hard problem, we build a consensus history by merging a large number of possible evolutionary histories generated from MCMC sampling. We tested the CN-AVG method on simulated rearranged genomes and achieved an average accuracy of 62%. We also found that accuracy decreased with increasing complexity of the simulated rearrangements, as expected. We then applied the method to TCGA Glioblastoma Multiforme genomes to search for evolutionary patterns in this disease. The CN-AVG method may distinguish driver mutations as the early rearrangement events and passenger or secondary mutations as the later events in the reconstructed evolutionary history of the tumor, and will be powerful for both the clinic and for research.

Quantum Computing Using Electrons Floating on Liquid Helium (2000)

The system of electrons trapped in vacuum above the liquid helium surface displays the highest mobilities known in condensed matter physics. We provide a brief summary of the experimental and theoretical results obtained for this system. We then show that a quasi-2D set of N < 108 electrons in vacuum trapped in 1D hydrogenic levels above a micron-thick helium film can be used as an easily manipulated strongly interacting set of quantum bits. Individual electrons are laterally confined by micron sized metal pads below the helium. Information is stored in the lowest hydrogenic levels. Using electric fields at temperatures of 10—2 K, changes in the wave function can be made in nanoseconds. Wave function coherence times are .1 millisecond. The wave function is read out using an inverted dc voltage which releases excited electrons from the surface, or using SETs attached to the metal pads which control the electrons.

Degradation of Surface Passivation on Crystalline Silicon and Its Impact on Light-Induced Degradation Experiments (2017)

A decrease of surface passivation quality is observed in FZ, Cz, and mc-Si lifetime samples during light-induced degradation (LID) treatments. It is shown that this degradation occurs not only in samples with single SiN <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</sub> :H layers but also when using layer stacks consisting of SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</sub> /SiN <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</sub> :H or AlO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</sub> :H/SiN <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</sub> :H.

Remote sensing of bubble clouds in sea water (2000)

Abstract We report on the influence of submerged bubble clouds on the re mote‐sensing properties of water. We show that the optical effect of bubbles on radiative transfer and on the estimate of the ocean colour is significant. We present a global map of the volume fraction of air in water derived from daily wind speed data. This map, together with the parametrization of the microphysical properties, shows the possible significance of bubble clouds on the albedo to incoming solar energy.
Anaesthetic Management of Patients Undergoing Intraventricular Neuro-Endoscopic Procedures (2012)

Endoscopic neurosurgery has a long history of solid progression of over a century In this period, several neuroendoscopic procedures were described, but although steady technical improvements increased the endoscopic functionality and indications, poor magnification and illumination kept neuroendoscopy difficult and unreliable, keeping it out of routine practice until the end of the 1980's. Only after the invention of new lenses, electronics and fiberoptics allowed for the manufacturing of a new generation of endoscopes granting brighter illumination and improved resolution, neuroendoscopy came forward as routine treatment in neurosurgery Initially, neuroendoscopy was almost exclusively performed for endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus, and still the majority of neuroendoscopies is performed for ETV. Recently however, it is increasingly used for the management of all types of neurosurgically treatable disorders A continued evolution of technological advances, introduction of robotic technology, steerable endoscopes and novel neurosurgical techniques are expected to increase its applications even further. These newly implemented surgical practices offer improved treatment options, commonly referred to as 'minimally invasive' in many clinical conditions. Since endoscopic techniques allow for intracranial interventions with minimal damage to healthy brain tissue, these advances are obviously a major benefit. Additionally, some interventions have a better outcome when performed endoscopically. However, in several of these interventions, direct surgical manipulation of cerebral structures and particularities of the endoscopic techniques are a constant hazard since they can severely disturb intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion and oxygenation. This perturbation of cerebral homeostasis may imply important risks for irreversible brain damage, and severe haemodynamical effects which, if not taken proper care of, make these surgical improvements much less minimal invasive than previously supposed. A proper understanding of the physiological changes induced by and during these procedures is essential for optimal patient care.

Apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms and intraventricular haemorrhage in infants born preterm: a large prospective multicentre cohort study (2018)

Effects of Robot Motion on Human-Robot Collaboration (2015)

Most motion in robotics is purely functional, planned to achieve the goal and avoid collisions. Such motion is great in isolation, but collaboration affords a human who is watching the motion and making inferences about it, trying to coordinate with the robot to achieve the task. This paper analyzes the benefit of planning motion that explicitly enables the collaborator's inferences on the success of physical collaboration, as measured by both objective and subjective metrics. Results suggest that legible motion, planned to clearly express the robot's intent, leads to more fluent collaborations than predictable motion, planned to match the collaborator's expectations. Furthermore, purely functional motion can harm coordination, which negatively affects both task efficiency, as well as the participants' perception of the collaboration.
6-Methoxyflavone and Donepezil Behavioral Plus Neurochemical Correlates in Reversing Chronic Ethanol and Withdrawal Induced Cognitive Impairment (2022)

It is postulated that, apart from donepezil, 6-MOF may be useful not only in the treatment of ethanol withdrawal severity but also in the management of chronic ethanol withdrawal induced cognitive impairment.
Parameterizable fonts based on shape components (2001)

We propose a new, highly flexible font description method that explicitly describes characters as assemblies of parameterizable shape components. By varying global parameters, we can derive fonts that vary in weight, condensation, and shape. Fonts made of shape components are flexible parameterizable designs, which we can easily adapt to various display and printing conditions (such as condensed font when lacking display space, high-quality optical scaling, adaptation of fonts to existing character metrics). Besides applications related to typeface design, fonts based on parameterizable components may be used in portable devices where memory is scarce. A single parameterizable design and its variations may allow enough flexibility for providing both high-quality antialiased fonts at low resolution and typefaces for high-resolution printing.
[Catheterization of the internal jugular vein using sonography]. (1987)

Localisation of the internal jugular vein (IJV) by anatomical landmarks is common clinical practice. Specific complications associated with this technique are documented. Cannulation of the IJV is likely to be safer, when performed under direct vision, provided by a sonographic device. Following sonographic visualization, we have cannulated the IJV of 50 patients without complications. The tested device (Echokamera SSD-210 DX combined with the small-part-transducer UST-558-5, 5 MHz, 34 mm) proved useful in facilitating IJV cannulation.
Role of Injectable Collagen in the Treatment of Glottic Insufficiency: A Study of 119 Patients (1992)

Injectable bovine collagen has been used for treatment of glottic insufficiency at the University of Wisconsin Clinical Science Center since 1983. This report reviews our experience in treating 119 patients with a variety of vocal fold disorders manifested by glottic insufficiency. Many of the patients were referred because of prior treatment failures or problems that were impossible to treat with other modalities. Results were assessed by comprehensive voice evaluations using subjective patient self-assessments, perceptual judgments made by a panel of experts who had no prior knowledge of the study, objective assessments, and videostroboscopy. Objective assessment included vocal function measures and acoustic analysis. Results indicate that collagen not only is comparable to other injection filler substances but also has unique advantages as a bioimplant. Collagen injection seems uniquely suited for treatment of several problems, including vocal fold atrophy, focal defects, minimal glottic insufficiency, and scarred vocal folds that are not managed optimally with Teflon injection. Overall there were no serious complications and treatment was effective for a broad spectrum of problems. In most instances the correction persisted, and in those instances in which injected collagen seemed improperly distributed, the vocal fold was recontoured or the implant removed without appreciable damage to the surrounding tissues. Injectable collagen has been extensively studied and deserves to be included in the armamentarium of the laryngeal surgeon.
Surgical pathology of obstructed, right-sided, porcine-valved extracardiac conduits. (1983)

Thirty-seven specimens were available from 39 children and adolescents with congenital heart disease who have had operations at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minn) to replace obstructed Hancock conduits that had been implanted 17 to 93 months (mean, 62 months). Stenosis affected the porcine valve alone in 17 (46%), the synthetic graft alone in 11 (30%), both the valve and the graft in six (16%), and other sites in three (8%). Valvular stenosis resulted from degenerative changes with secondary thrombosis and calcification, whereas insufficiency resulted from cuspid tears, thrombotic adhesions, and endocarditis. Nonvalvular obstruction resulted from progressive thickening of fenestrated neointimae, owing to organization of thrombotic debris lining the interface between the conduit and this tissue. Late postoperative conduit stenosis may develop asymptomatically and unpredictably by several different mechanisms.
SAFRAN: a digital beamforming radar for battlefield applications (1997)

The air defence systems of the first decade of the twenty-first century will need to use new detection and target recognition techniques to respond to the changing threat environment, and particularly, to offer better resistance to countermeasures, and faster reaction time. The SAFRAN demonstrator is an exploratory development for the French Defence Ministry aimed at validating new radar techniques for future battlefield surveillance systems. The initial purpose of the demonstrator is to test and validate this new technique called digital beamforming (DBF) which overcomes the threat of multiple jammers and improve the radar performance. SAFRAN is the French acronym for air and ground surveillance using digital beamforming radar.
Preparation of Ultrafine Barium Titanate Powder by Slurry Spray Pyrolysis (2009)

A remarkable improvement of the productivity in barium titanate by slurry spray pyrolysis process was realized by supplying solid source slurry into the rector. The produced barium titanate powders showed uniform powder properties, and reproducibility with higher tetragonality in the range of 80~200 nm, case by case. The secondary calcination experiments of the as-prepared powders by spray pyrolysis revealed that the powders as-prepared over 700 o C showed perfectly different behavior with the lower temperature's ones and the solid state reaction's case. The result was discussed in terms of the reaction mechanism based on the activation energy analysis.
Direct Detection of Low-Energy Electrons With a Novel CMOS APS Sensor (2012)

Direct detection of low-energy electrons (500–2000 eV) with a novel back-thinned CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) is reported in this paper. The sensor was installed in a JEOL 6400F scanning electron microscope to quantitatively test its linearity and spatial resolution by a focused electron beam. The obtained results show good linearity at electron beam energy values from 500 to 2000 eV. The full-width at half-maximum spatial resolution was around 2 pixels, a limit set by charge diffusion in the epilayer. These results show that this CMOS APS sensor is appropriate for low-energy electron detection providing the benefits of direct detection for many applications.
Sudden substrate dilution induces a higher rate of citric acid production by Aspergillus niger (1995)

On the basis of the present knowledge of Aspergillus niger metabolism during citric acid fermentation, an idea on how to improve the process was formed. Initially, a higher sucrose concentration was used for the germination of spores, which caused a higher intracellular level of the osmoregulator, glycerol, to be present. When citric acid started to be excreted into the medium, the substrate was suddenly diluted. Optimization of this procedure resulted in a nearly tripled volumetric rate (grams per liter per hour) of acid production, while the overall fermentation time was halved compared with the usual batch process. Yet, a characteristic delay was observed at the start of the acid excretion after the dilution. Hypo-osmotic shock caused a prominent elevation of intracellular cyclic AMP levels. Simultaneously, the specific activity of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase increased significantly, probably due to phosphorylation of the protein molecule by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Specific 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase activity was much higher in the treated than in the normally growing mycelium. The metabolic flow through glycolysis was expected to be higher, which should contribute to a higher volumetric rate of acid production.
