Developing a web-enabled equipment driver for semiconductor equipment communications (2002)

Equipment communications is essential for semiconductor manufacturing automation. Equipment managers generally function to communicate between the manufacturing execution system (MES) and equipment. To achieve generality and reusability, our previous work developed a generic equipment manager (GEMG). The rules governing the GEMG were divided into three independent portions: system/framework rules, business rules, and equipment rules. These rules were implemented in the MES interface, controller application (CA), and equipment driver (ED) modules, separately. Among them, equipment rules in the ED modules are equipment-dependent. Connecting a different machine to the GEMG requires modifying the associated ED accordingly, which is a difficult task. To solve this problem, this study proposes a web-enabled equipment driver (WED) that uses mobile object technology. Initially, a mobile object model with a Java applet, namely WED, is developed. WED is constructed on the equipment (server) side. Then, the equipment manager (client) downloads WED via a web browser. This process does not need to modify the ED. Subsequently, the equipment manager can communicate with the equipment by either the Java socket technology using the HSMS standard or the object web technology through the CORBA or DCOM protocols using the OBEM standard. This proposed scheme has been successfully implemented. Illustrative examples reveal that the proposed mobile object model and WED establish a novel, efficient, and versatile scheme for semiconductor equipment communications.
Octupole correlations in neutron-rich143,145Baand a type of superdeformed band in145Ba (1999)

High spin states in neutron-rich odd-Z ${}^{143,145}\mathrm{Ba}$ nuclei have been investigated from the study of prompt \ensuremath{\gamma} rays in the spontaneous fission of ${}^{252}\mathrm{Cf}$ by using \ensuremath{\gamma}-\ensuremath{\gamma}- and \ensuremath{\gamma}-\ensuremath{\gamma}-\ensuremath{\gamma}- coincidence techniques. Alternating parity bands are identified for the first time in ${}^{145}\mathrm{Ba}$ and extended in ${}^{143}\mathrm{Ba}.$ A new side band, with equal, constant dynamic, and kinetic moments of inertia equal to the rigid body value, as found in superdeformed bands, is discovered in ${}^{145}\mathrm{Ba}.$ Enhanced $E1$ transitions between the negative- and positive-parity bands in these nuclei give evidence for strong octupole deformation in ${}^{143}\mathrm{Ba}$ and in ${}^{145}\mathrm{Ba}.$ These collective bands show competition and coexistence between symmetric and asymmetric shapes in ${}^{145}\mathrm{Ba}.$ Evidence is found for crossing $M1$ and $E1$ transitions between the $s=+i$ and $s=\ensuremath{-}i$ doublets in ${}^{143}\mathrm{Ba}.$

Research and development of a novel insecticide, flonicamid (2014)

Flonicamid, a novel class insecticide possessing a unique chemical structure, was discovered in 1992, developed by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd., and registered in Japan in 2006 under the trade name of Ulala DF. This compound is very active against a wide range of aphid species and also is effective against some other species of sucking insects. It rapidly inhibits the feeding behavior of aphids and provides long-lasting control. Flonicamid shows no cross-resistance to conventional insecticides and exhibits excellent systemic and translaminar activity. It has no negative impact on beneficial insects and mites. Furthermore, it has a favorable toxicological, environmental and ecotoxicological profile. These characteristics make flonicamid well suited for resistant management strategies and integrated pest-management programs.

Artificial Neural Networks and regression approaches comparison for forecasting Iran's annual electricity load (2009)

Electrical load forecasting is one of the important concerns of power systems and has been studied from different views. Electrical load forecast might be performed over different time intervals of short, medium and long term. Various techniques have been proposed for short term, medium term or long term load forecasting. In this study we employ artificial neural networks (ANN) and regression (linear and log-linear) approaches for annual electricity load forecasting. This study presents a model that is affected by two economical parameters which are Real-GDP and Population. Using Real-GDP instead of nominal-GDP can provide more accuracy because the effects of inflation are considered in the structure of such model and this will cause the results to be more reliable. To improve forecasting accuracy of the model we apply data preprocessing techniques. Forecasting capability of each approach is evaluated by calculating three separate statistical evaluations of the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). All evaluations indicate that the accuracy of ANN which is trained with preprocessed data is remarkably better than the other two conventional approaches.

The Construction of T7 Promoter-based His(6)-tagging Vectors and the Single-step Purification of the Expression products. (1996)

T7 promoter-based fusion expression vectors have been constructed that directed the synthesis of heterologous proteins in E. coli as fusions with a stretch of six consecutive histidine residues His(6) at N Terminus. The vectors were also featured with strong T7 promoter, terminator, translational start, multiple cloning sites with seven unique restriction sites in all three reading frames and the f1 phage origin which allows the packaging of single-stranded plasmid, mutagenesis and DNA sequencing without subcloning steps. In most cases, expressed fusion proteins are soluble. The His(6) tag allows the fusion proteins purified in one step by immobilized metal (Ni(2+)) chelation affinity chromatography in the denatured or native state. As an example of the general utility of these expression vectors, the His(6)-fused catalytic subunits of mouse cAMP-dependent protein kinase were expressed with high activity by using these vectors and could be purified to homogeneity in one step.
Cannabinoids decrease excitatory synaptic transmission and impair long‐term depression in rat cerebellar Purkinje cells (1998)

1. CB-1 cannabinoid receptors are strongly expressed in the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex. We have analysed, in patch-clamped Purkinje cells (PCs) in rat cerebellar slices, the effect of the selective CB-1 agonists WIN55,212-2 and CP55,940 and of the selective CB-1 antagonist SR141716-A on excitatory synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity. 2. Bath application of both agonists markedly depressed parallel fibre (PF) EPSCs. This effect was reversed by SR141716-A. In contrast, responses of PCs to ionophoretic application of glutamate were not affected by WIN55, 212-2. 3. The coefficient of variation and the paired-pulse facilitation of these PF-mediated EPSCs increased in the presence of WIN55,212-2. 4. WIN55,212-2 decreased the frequency of miniature EPSCs and of asynchronous synaptic events evoked in the presence of strontium in the bath, but did not affect their amplitude. 5. WIN55, 212-2 did not change the excitability of PFs. 6. WIN55,212-2 impaired long-term depression induced by pairing protocols in PCs. This effect was antagonized by SR141716-A. The same impairment of LTD was produced by 2-chloroadenosine, a compound that decreases the probability of release of glutamate at PF-PC synapses. 7. The present study demonstrates that cannabinoids inhibit synaptic transmission at PF-PC synapses by decreasing the probability of release of glutamate, and thereby impair LTD. These two effects might represent a plausible cellular mechanism underlying cerebellar dysfunction caused by cannabinoids.
Kinetics of D,L–Lactide Polymerization Initiated with Zirconium Acetylacetonate (2020)

The kinetic of D,L-lactide polymerization in presence of biocompatible zirconium acetylacetonate initiator was studied by differential scanning calorimetry in isothermal mode at various temperatures and initiator concentrations. The enthalpy of D,L-lactide polymerization measured directly in DSC cell was found to be <i>ΔH</i>=-17.8±1.4 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>. Kinetic curves of D,L-lactide polymerization and propagation rate constants were determined for polymerization with zirconium acetylacetonate at concentrations of 250-1000 ppm and temperature of 160-220 °C. Using model or reversible polymerization the following kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were calculated: activation energy <i>E<sub>a</sub></i> =44.51±5.35 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>, preexponential constant ln<i>A</i>=15.47±1.38, entropy of polymerization <i>ΔS</i>=-25.14 J mol<sup>-1</sup> K<sup>-1</sup>. The effect of reaction conditions on the molecular weight of poly(D,L-lactide) was shown.
Diagnosis, Treatment and Outcome of Congenital Hypothyroidism (2014)

Screening for a disease begins a process that should lead to confirmation of the diagnosis, establishment of the etiology, optimal treatment and documentation of outcome. In newborns referred for an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level on the screening specimen, a detailed family and personal history should be obtained, and a careful clinical examination should be performed. Hypothyroidism should be confirmed by measuring serum TSH and thyroxine (T4) and the underlying etiology established by sodium pertechnetate scintigraphy. Treatment should be started promptly with an adequate dose of levothyroxine. Clinical and biochemical monitoring should be frequent during the first 3 years of life, when the brain can suffer irreversible damage from hypothyroidism. Except in patients with thyroid ectopy or with true athyreosis, permanence of hypothyroidism should be confirmed after 3 years of age by withholding treatment for at least 4 weeks and measuring serum TSH and T4 off therapy. Growth, psychomotor development and school progression should be documented, especially in children from socially disadvantaged families. Transition to adult care is particularly important for females, who should receive counseling about increased levothyroxine needs during future pregnancies. Cognitive outcome has improved dramatically with screening for overt congenital hypothyroidism, but the benefits from treatment of mild isolated hyperthyrotropinemia remain unproven.

A full-range formulation for dynamic loss of high-temperature superconductor coated conductors (2020)

Abstract Dynamic loss is significant for evaluating the performance of type-II high-temperature superconductor (HTS) coated conductors (CC), especially when used in electric machines. Although analytical expressions of dynamic loss have been proposed and verified for HTS CCs exposed to low external magnetic fields with a low current load rate, the non-linearity of dynamic loss at high current load ratios and simultaneous high magnetic fields is still unclear and cannot be predicted by the existing analytical equations. This paper proposes a completely new formulation to characterize the non-linearity of dynamic loss taking into account the J c ( B ) dependence of CCs, which can be used for full ranges of both magnetic fields and current load ratios. The proposed analytical formulas have been verified by a T -formulation based numerical model and experiments. This paper comprehensively demonstrates the variation of dynamic loss and provides a meaningful reference of loss controlling for HTS CCs, which is vital for HTS machine windings to avoid quench.
Therapy with CTLA4-Ig and an antiviral monoclonal antibody controls chikungunya virus arthritis (2017)

In 2013, chikungunya virus (CHIKV) transmission was documented in the Western Hemisphere, and the virus has since spread throughout the Americas with more than 1.8 million people infected in more than 40 countries. CHIKV targets the joints, resulting in symmetric polyarthritis that clinically mimics rheumatoid arthritis and can endure for months to years. At present, no approved treatment is effective in preventing or controlling CHIKV infection or disease. We treated mice with eight different disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and identified CLTA4-Ig (abatacept) and tofacitinib as candidate therapies based on their ability to decrease acute joint swelling. CTLA4-Ig reduced T cell accumulation in the joints of infected animals without affecting viral infection. Whereas monotherapy with CTLA4-Ig or a neutralizing anti-CHIKV human monoclonal antibody provided partial clinical improvement, therapy with both abolished swelling and markedly reduced levels of chemokines, proinflammatory cytokines, and infiltrating leukocytes. Thus, combination CTLA4-Ig and antiviral antibody therapy controls acute CHIKV infection and arthritis and may be a candidate for testing in humans.
Optical coatings in microscale channels by atomic layer deposition (2010)

High-aspect-ratio channels may be coated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) due to the unique self-limiting nature of the process, and this has been often demonstrated using deep reactive-ion etched trenches in silicon. However, for optical and microfluidic applications, many channels are centimeters deep with diameters of tens to hundreds of micrometers, and the relatively large area exposes more difficult problems of temperature and gas flow uniformity. To quantify the uniformity of optical coatings deposited by ALD under those conditions, an air wedge has been created between two square wafers of silicon approximately 7 cm on a side, with the air gap varying linearly from 0-1560 microm. ALD aluminum oxide uniformity is astounding, while hafnium oxide shows a need for process optimization, but still exceeds the capability observed in other deposition techniques. A six-layer Fabry-Perot optical cavity with fixed 500 nm resonance was deposited inside a wedge, and the measured resonant wavelength closely matched predictions, except at the deepest regions of the wedge.

In vivo Imaging of Adenovirus Transduction and Enhanced Therapeutic Efficacy of Combination Therapy with Conditionally Replicating Adenovirus and Adenovirus-p27 (2006)

Gene therapy is hampered by poor gene transfer to the tumor mass. We previously proposed a combination adenoviral gene therapy containing a conditionally replicating adenovirus (CRAD) expressing mutant E1 (delta24RGD) and a replication-defective E1-deleted adenovirus to enhance the efficiency of gene transfer. Mutant E1 expressed by delta24RGD enables the replication of replication-defective adenoviruses in tumors when cancer cells are co-infected with both viruses. In this study, gene transfer rates in xenografts tumors were monitored by bioluminescence in cells infected with the replication-defective adenovirus-luciferase (ad-luc). Tumor masses treated with CRAD + ad-luc showed dramatically stronger and more prolonged luciferase expression than ad-luc-treated tumors and this expression spread through the entire tumor mass without significant systemic spread. Transduction with CRAD + replication-defective adenovirus-p27 increased the expression of p27 by 24-fold versus transduction with ad-p27 alone. Treatment of a lung cancer cell line and of established lung cancer xenografts with CRAD + adenovirus-p27 also induced stronger growth suppression than treatment with either virus alone. These findings confirm the selective replication of E1-deleted adenovirus containing a therapeutic gene due to the presence of mutant E1 produced by delta24RGD in tumors. Moreover, this replication increased the therapeutic gene transfer rate and enhanced its antitumor effects.
Dual-colour Nano-Pixels for image switching beyond the diffraction limit (2015)

Plasmonic aperture arrays in metal thin-films exhibit a variety of interesting sub-wavelength optical transmission properties which have led to their use as color filters [1], and biosensors [2, 3]. The nanoapertures act as a grating coupler, enabling surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to be generated by light incident on the metal film. Alteration of the nano-aperture geometry dictates the frequencies of light, and therefore colours, which are able to pass through the film.
Rapid diagnosis of acute Epstein-Barr virus infection by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody without rheumatoid factor and specific IgG interference (1989)

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of Epstein-Barr virus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody was developed with commercial reagents. Sera containing rheumatoid factor (RF) (as little as 0.5 IU/ml) coupled with specific IgG resulted in false-positives in the ELISA. This interference was eliminated by the use of anti-human IgG antibodies to remove RF and IgG. Thus, pathogen-specific IgG complexes to which IgM-RF could be bound during the subsequent test were inhibited, and competition between specific IgG and IgM was also prevented. Of the 1,672 serum specimens tested, 353 were found to be Epstein-Barr virus IgM antibody positive by indirect immunofluorescence (IF). Compared with the IF test, the ELISA showed 96.6% sensitivity, 99.7% specificity, and 99% accuracy. Further evidence indicated that most of the 12 ELISA false-negatives were IF false-positives. There was a linear correlation between mean ELISA values and increasing IF titers (r = 0.96). However, the IF test has the disadvantages that it lacks automated reading and requires considerable technical expertise, both of which restrict the range of laboratories performing the test. The indirect ELISA has the advantages that it is simple and rapid and can be automated. All the reagents used in this assay are commercially available, have been prestandardized, and are stable.
Do Outcomes or Subsequent Injuries Differ Following Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Palmaris vs. Hamstring Autograft? (2019)

PURPOSE: Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) is a successful procedure in professional baseball players. It is unclear if results differ based on graft choice. The purpose was to determine the performance and return to sport (RTS) rate in professional baseball players following UCLR and compare performance and RTS rate, as well as injury rates, between players who underwent UCLR with hamstring vs. palmaris autograft. The authors hypothesize that there is a high RTS rate in professional baseball players following UCLR with no significant difference in injury rates, RTS rate, or performance, specifically related to primary outcome performance variables: WHIP ((walks +hits)/innings pitched), fielding independent pitching (FIP), and wins above replacement (WAR)) between those who had UCLR with a palmaris vs. hamstring autograft. METHODS: All professional baseball players between 2010-2015 who underwent UCLR using hamstring autograft were included. Surgical details of their procedure were recorded using operative reports. Players with a hamstring UCLR were compared to a matched control group of players who underwent UCLR with palmaris autograft. RESULTS: Overall, 191 players underwent UCLR using hamstring autograft. No differences in RTS rates or timing to RTS existed between the hamstring vs. palmaris groups. Significantly more subsequent lower extremity injuries were seen in the hamstring group (p=0.040). More subsequent upper extremity injuries existed in the palmaris group, although this difference was not significant (p=0.052). No consistent differences in performance metrics upon RTS existed between hamstring and palmaris groups, although both groups significantly declined in many performance metrics following surgery. Both groups showed a decline in post-operatively in WAR and WHIP; FIP did not decline. No significant difference in WAR, WHIP, or FIP existed between groups post-operatively. CONCLUSION: Baseball players who undergo UCLR with hamstring autograft are more likely to sustain a subsequent lower extremity injury while those who undergo UCLR with a palmaris are more likely to sustain an upper extremity injury. No difference in performance or RTS rates existed between groups. Both groups significantly declined in WAR and WHIP after UCLR.
