Liver motion during cone beam computed tomography guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (2012)

This study analyzed the liver motion characteristics of 20 patients undergoing SBRT. A large variation in motion was observed, interfractionally and intrafractionally, and that as the distance between the markers increased, the difference in the absolute range of motion also increased. This suggests that marker(s) in closest proximity to the target be used.

Theoretical framework and simulation of an adaptive BCI based on movement-related and error potentials (2011)

International audience
Performance evaluation of intra-cell interference cancelation in D-TxAA HSDPA (2008)

In this paper we compare interference cancelation to MMSE equalization in the context of D-TxAA (dual stream transmit antenna array) HSDPA. The interference cancelation is carried out in three steps. After canceling the deterministic channels (pilot and synchronization channel), one user data stream is reconstructed by an MMSE equalizer. This data stream is transmitted over a replicated "virtual" channel and its output subtracted from the received signal. From the remaining received signal we reconstruct the second data stream by a second equalizer. Our performance evaluation is based on the physical layer coded data throughput. The interference cancelation receiver shows large performance gain (approx. 2.0 dB) over the state-of-the-art MMSE equalizer while the complexity is only increased slightly.
A Dry Process for Production of Microfluidic Devices Based on the Lamination of Laser-Printed Polyester Films (2003)

A new microfabrication process based on a xerographic process is described. A laser printer is used to selectively deposit toner on a polyester film, which is subsequently laminated against another polyester film. The toner layer binds the two polyester films and allows the blank regions to become channels for microfluidics. These software-outlined channels are approximately 6 microm deep. Approximately twice this depth is obtained by laminating two printed films. The resulting devices were not significantly damaged after 24 h of exposure to aqueous solutions of H3PO4, NaOH, methanol, acetonitrile, or sodium dodecyl sulfate. Electric tests with an impedance analyzer and microchannels filled with KCl solution demonstrated that (1) wide channels suffer from deformation of the top and bottom walls due to the lamination of the polyester films and (2) the toner walls are somewhat porous. Although these drawbacks limit the maximum width of a channel and the minimum distance between two channels, the process is an attractive option to other expensive, laborious, and time-consuming methods for microchannels fabrication. The process has been used to implement devices for electrospray tip and capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection.
Vacuum-packaged micro fuel reformer for high thermal efficiency and low package temperature (2008)

A fully-microfabricated wafer-level vacuum package of a micro fuel reformer was designed, fabricated and tested. For thermal insulation, a high-temperature reactor is suspended by microfabricated tubes, in which fuel and reformed gas flow, and is vacuum-packaged by anodic bonding. Conductive heat loss through air in the package was investigated by making the packaging pressure as a parameter. The measured heat loss is 1.2 W at a reforming temperature of 240degC, showing a potential to realize a micro fuel reformer with a thermal efficiency of 75%. Also, the temperature of the package outside is as low as 60degC, which is enough to install the micro fuel reformer in portable electronics.

Influence of third-body particles originating from bone void fillers on the wear of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (2016)

Calcium sulfate bone void fillers are increasingly being used for dead space management in infected arthroplasty revision surgery. The presence of these materials as loose beads close to the bearing surfaces of joint replacements gives the potential for them to enter the joint becoming trapped between the articulating surfaces; the resulting damage to cobalt chrome counterfaces and the subsequent wear of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is unknown. In this study, third-body damage to cobalt chrome counterfaces was simulated using particles of the calcium sulfate bone void fillers Stimulan(®) (Biocomposites Ltd., Keele, UK) and Osteoset(®) (Wright Medical Technology, TN, USA) using a bespoke rig. Scratches on the cobalt chrome plates were quantified in terms of their density and mean lip height, and the damage caused by the bone void fillers was compared to that caused by particles of SmartSet GMV PMMA bone cement (DePuy Synthes, IN, USA). The surface damage from Stimulan(®) was below the resolution of the analysis technique used; SmartSet GMV caused 0.19 scratches/mm with a mean lip height of 0.03 µm; Osteoset(®) led to a significantly higher number (1.62 scratches/mm) of scratches with a higher mean lip height (0.04 µm). Wear tests of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene were carried out in a six-station multi-axial pin on plate reciprocating rig against the damaged plates and compared to negative (highly polished) and positive control plates damaged with a diamond stylus (2 µm lip height). The wear of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene was shown to be similar against the negative control plates and those damaged with third-body particles; there was a significantly higher (p < 0.001) rate of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene wear against the positive control plates. This study showed that bone void fillers of similar composition can cause varying damage to cobalt chrome counterfaces. However, the lip heights of the scratches were not of sufficient magnitude to increase the wear of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene above that of the negative controls.
Tumor-Initiating Function of Nucleostemin-Enriched Mammary Tumor Cells (2010)

Nucleostemin (NS) is highly expressed in normal stem cells and tumors and is upregulated by estradiol in MCF7 breast cancer cells. To investigate the role of NS in mammary tumorigenesis, we established first that NS is expressed at higher levels in the basal cell type than in the luminal cell type in mouse mammary tumors and human breast cancer cells. NS expression was also increased during progression of mammary tumors in MMTV-Wnt1 and MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice and by the tumor sphere culture. To determine the function of NS-enriched tumor cells, we generated a bacterial artificial chromosome transgenic mouse line expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the NS promoter and bred it to MMTV-Wnt1 mice, so that NS-expressing cells can be prospectively isolated based on their GFP levels. Notably, NS-enriched mammary tumor cells exhibited stronger in vitro and in vivo tumorigenic activities and expressed higher levels of K5, CD133, Oct4, telomerase reverse transcriptase, and C-X-C chemokine ligand 12 compared with NS-deficient mammary tumor cells. Furthermore, knockdown of NS dramatically reduced the sphere-forming activity of MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 human breast cancer cells. Our findings establish the tumor-initiating and molecular features of NS-enriched mammary tumor cells, suggesting that NS may offer a valuable therapeutic target.
Modeling Copper and Cadmium Mobility in an Albeluvisol Amended with Urban Waste Composts (2016)

Core Ideas Mobility of Cu and Cd in compost‐amended soil was estimated using HYDRUS‐2D. Cu and Cd mobility was controlled by sorption in the tilled layer. Different sorption estimations were used to model trace metal leaching. EDTA/CaCl 2 extracts ratio gave reliable K d estimates for Cu but not for Cd. Most of the Cu and Cd mass remained in the tilled layer. Two experimental plots amended with a co‐compost of sewage sludge and green wastes (SGW) or with a municipal solid waste compost (MSW) were compared with a control plot without organic amendment (CONT) in terms of trace metals mobility. These plots were equipped with wick lysimeters, time‐domain reflectometry probes and tensiometers for 6 yr (2004–2010). Different soil structures due to tillage and compost incorporation were identified in the tilled layers and reproduced in HYDRUS‐2D for simulating water, Cu, and Cd transport. Two sorption estimation approaches were used, either assuming equilibrium between CaCl 2 and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) extractable metals ( K d‐1 ) or using equations based on pedotransfer functions assuming nonlinear sorption for Cu ( K f ) and linear sorption for Cd ( K d‐2 ). Lysimeter data on Cu leaching were successfully reproduced with the K d‐1 approach for the SGW and CONT plots (model efficiency coefficient E SGW = 0.97, E CONT = 0.95), while the MSW plot showed better fitting with the K f approach ( E MSW = 0.77), which could be explained by the less stable organic matter of the MSW compost because it takes into account organic matter components (dissolved organic C and soil organic matter). The Cd leaching was reproduced with the K d‐2 approach for the two amended plots ( E SGW = 0.12, E MSW = 0.80), while CONT simulation overestimated leaching. The percentage of measured Cu and Cd leached in reference to input mass was 0.6 and 2.7%, respectively, in the SGW plot compared with 5% for both metals in the MSW plot. Trace metal mobility appeared to be limited in the tilled layer by sorption to organic matter.
Domain Adaptation and Attention-Based Unknown Word Replacement in Chinese-to-Japanese Neural Machine Translation. (2016)

This paper describes our UT-KAY system that participated in the Workshop on Asian Translation 2016. Based on an Attention-based Neural Machine Translation (ANMT) model, we build our system by incorporating a domain adaptation method for multiple domains and an attention-based unknown word replacement method. In experiments, we verify that the attention-based unknown word replacement method is effective in improving translation scores in Chinese-to-Japanese machine translation. We further show results of manual analysis on the replaced unknown words.
Levels ofCm244populated by the beta decay of 10-hAmg244and 26-minAmm244 (1984)

Gamma rays and conversion electrons were measured for the $^{244}\mathrm{Am}$ beta decay isomers in an $^{243}\mathrm{Am}$ target undergoing neutron capture in a high-flux reactor. New transitions accompanying beta decay of 26-min $^{244}\mathrm{Am}^{g}$ were observed. These include 984.92-keV and 977.80-keV $E0$ transitions assigned to the deexcitation of a first-excited ${0}^{+}$ band in $^{244}\mathrm{Cm}$ with level energies of 984.91 (${0}^{+}$) and 1020.76 (${2}^{+}$) keV. The ratio of reduced transition probabilities $\frac{B(E0)}{B(E2)}$ for the ${0}^{+}$ level is 1.5\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2.
Iron intake among Lebanese women: sociodemographic factors, iron-rich dietary patterns, and preparation of hummus, a Mediterranean dish (2021)

The majority of the Lebanese women still have iron intake deficiency and the minority reported proper preparation of hummus. Intervention programs spreading awareness among Lebanese women are needed for encouraging adequate iron intake and considering proper steps to improve iron bioavailability from plant-based food.
Pore Size Control of Ultrathin Silicon Membranes by Rapid Thermal Carbonization (2010)

Rapid thermal carbonization in a dilute acetylene (C(2)H(2)) atmosphere has been used to chemically modify and precisely tune the pore size of ultrathin porous nanocrystalline silicon (pnc-Si). The magnitude of size reduction was controlled by varying the process temperature and time. Under certain conditions, the carbon coating displayed atomic ordering indicative of graphene layer formation conformal to the pore walls. Initial experiments show that carbonized membranes follow theoretical predictions for hydraulic permeability and retain the precise separation capabilities of untreated membranes.
DeepLens (2018)

We aim to generate high resolution shallow depth-of-field (DoF) images from a single all-in-focus image with controllable focal distance and aperture size. To achieve this, we propose a novel neural network model comprised of a depth prediction module, a lens blur module, and a guided upsampling module. All modules are differentiable and are learned from data. To train our depth prediction module, we collect a dataset of 2462 RGB-D images captured by mobile phones with a dual-lens camera, and use existing segmentation datasets to improve border prediction. We further leverage a synthetic dataset with known depth to supervise the lens blur and guided upsampling modules. The effectiveness of our system and training strategies are verified in the experiments. Our method can generate high-quality shallow DoF images at high resolution, and produces significantly fewer artifacts than the baselines and existing solutions for single image shallow DoF synthesis. Compared with the iPhone portrait mode, which is a state-of-the-art shallow DoF solution based on a dual-lens depth camera, our method generates comparable results, while allowing for greater flexibility to choose focal points and aperture size, and is not limited to one capture setup.
A detailed analysis of the Raman enhancement mechanisms associated with the interaction of a Raman scatterer with a resonant metal cluster: Results for Lin–H2 (1984)

The results of time dependent Hartree–Fock calculations of frequency dependent polarizability derivatives for H2–Lin clusters (n=2, 4, 6) are presented and analyzed in terms of Raman enhancement mechanisms associated with interaction between H2 and the metal clusters. In these calculations, the width factors associated with unoccupied Hartree–Fock molecular orbitals are chosen so that the cluster polarizabilities are the same as those of bulk metal spheroids of the same size. The calculations are otherwise ab initio, and predict polarizability derivatives whose squares are enhanced by 103–104 for H2–Lin clusters at equilibrium geometries when irradiated at frequencies corresponding to metal cluster excitation energies. These enhancements were found to be reasonably independent of cluster size and vary by factors of 2–4 with H2 adsorption location. The enhancements were found to vary as the inverse fourth power of the excited state widths, and to decrease with increasing adsorbate–metal separation with a complicated functionality which reflects the varying contributions of three different enhancement mechanisms. At relatively large separations, induced polarization effects (i.e., electromagnetic interactions) make a large contribution to the enhancement factor. This is also important near equilibrium, but also important at this location (as well as at large separations) is a mechanism which involves the modulation of the metal orbital energies by the adsorbate vibrational motions. At smaller separations, corresponding to the repulsive region of the H2–Lin interaction potential, a third mechanism becomes dominant which involves the enhanced dipole matrix element derivatives which arise from charge transfer between adsorbate and metal. Symmetry of the electronic states giving rise to the cluster resonances was also found to influence enhancements, with the largest enhancements obtained for excited cluster states which have large overlap with the adsorbate HOMO and LUMO. Extension of these mechanistic interpretations to the description of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is considered.
Relational FastSLAM: an improved Rao-Blackwellized particle filtering framework using particle swarm characteristics (2014)

SUMMARY This paper presents an improved Rao-Blackwellized particle filtering framework with consideration of the particle swarm characteristics in FastSLAM, called Relational FastSLAM or R-FastSLAM. The R-FastSLAM seeks to cope with the inherent problems of FastSLAM, i.e., a particle depletion problem and an error accumulation problem in large environments. The R-FastSLAM uses the particle swarm characteristics in calculating the importance weight and maintaining a particle formation. We assign more accurate weights to particles by clustering them using the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm according to an adaptive weight compensation scheme. In addition, particles constitute an adaptive triangular mesh formation to maintain multiple data association hypotheses without any resampling step. Its outstanding accomplishments are verified on simulations and a test using the Victoria Park dataset by comparing the standard FastSLAM 2.0 with the particle swarm optimization based FastSLAM.
The Novel Compound SUL-138 Counteracts Endothelial Cell and Kidney Dysfunction in Sepsis by Preserving Mitochondrial Function (2023)

Sepsis is defined as a dysregulated host response leading to organ dysfunction, which may ultimately result in the patient's death. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in developing organ dysfunction in sepsis. In this study, we explored the efficacy of the novel mitochondrial protective compound, SUL-138, in sepsis models in HUVECs and mice. In LPS-challenged HUVECs, SUL-138 preserved mitochondrial membrane potential and oxygen consumption and limited mitochondrial oxidative stress, resulting in increased survival at 48 h. Further, SUL-138 dampened the LPS-induced expression of IL-1β, but not of NLRP3, and IL-18 in HUVECs. Sepsis in mice induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) led to a lower mitochondrial membrane potential and increased levels of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the kidney, which SUL-138 limited. In addition, SUL-138 mitigated the CLP-induced increase in kidney dysfunction markers NGAL and urea. It dampened the rise in kidney expression of IL-6, IL-1β, and ICAM-1, but not TNF-α and E-selectin. Yet, SUL-138 limited the increase in plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-α of CLP mice. These results demonstrate that SUL-138 supports mitochondrial function, resulting in a limitation of systemic inflammation and preservation of kidney function.
Characterizing the proteome of the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex by shotgun mass spectrometry (2010)

The studies of neuropsychiatric disorders would be facilitated by enhanced knowledge of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) proteome. To construct a data set of human DLPFC proteins, protein extracts were prepared from 12 postmortem brains focussing on the DLPFC region (Brodmann area 9) and analyzed using a combined gel electrophoresis and shotgun mass spectrometry approach, featuring data-independent label-free nanoflow liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (nLC-MS(E)). The detected mass/time features were aligned and annotated using the results from ProteinLynx Global Server. The resulting data set comprised 488 unique and accurately identified proteins, with stringent identification by a minimum of two distinct peptides detected at least in >75% of samples. These proteins were involved predominantly in cytoskeletal architecture, metabolism, transcription/translation, and synaptic function. Combination of this data set with that obtained by our previous characterization of the same brain region results in a total of 755 unique proteins, making this the most comprehensive analysis of this important brain region to date.
Miniaturized chest compressor (2004)

The miniaturized chest compressor has the important potential advantage of minimal weight and, therefore, portability, without any reduction in effectiveness. To the contrary, it is potentially more effective than the much larger and heavier industry standard for maintaining circulation.
Overcoated microspheres for specific optical powders (2002)

We produce overcoated microspheres and try to obtain artificial optical powders with specific spectral properties. Electron-beam deposition is used with a particular vibration system. Calibration and characterization results are presented that validate the techniques and procedures for single-layers and quarter-wave mirrors.
