Transduction of Long-Term and Mobilized Peripheral Blood-Derived NOD/SCID Repopulating Cells by Foamy Virus Vectors (2004)

Foamy virus (FV) vectors are a promising gene delivery system for use in hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy. Previous FV vector marking studies in the NOD/SCID xenotransplantation model used umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived SCID repopulating cells (SRCs) that were assayed 5-10 weeks posttransplantation. We now report efficient FV vector transduction (>65%) of UCB-derived primitive, long-term SRCs engrafted for 18 weeks. In addition, we evaluated gene transfer into mobilized peripheral blood (MPB)-derived SRCs by improved, deleted FV vectors containing minimal cis-acting sequences and packaged by split helper constructs that would be appropriate for use in clinical trials. When used at a multiplicity of infection of 1 in a 10-hr transduction protocol, these improved vectors transduced 34% of engrafted MPB-derived SRCs.
The haemoglobin‐like protein (HMP) of Escherichia coli has ferrisiderophore reductase activity and its C‐terminal domain shares homology with ferredoxin NADP+ reductases (1992)

Three soluble ferrisiderophore reductases (FsrA, FsrB and FsrC) were detected in Escherichia coli. FsrB was purified and identified as the haemoglobin-like protein (HMP) by size and N-terminal sequence analyses. HMP was previously isolated as a dihydropteridine reductase and is now shown to have ferrisiderophore reductase activity. Database searches revealed that the C-terminal region of HMP (FsrB) is homologous to members of a family of flavoprotein oxidoreductases which includes ferredoxin NADP+ reductase (FNR). The combination of FNR-like and haemoglobin-like regions in HMP (FsrB) represents a novel pairing of functionally and structurally distinct domains. Structure-function properties of other FNR-like proteins, including LuxG and VanB, are also discussed.
Fabrication of multilayered oxide thermoelectric modules by electrophoretic deposition under high magnetic fields (2006)

The authors report the fabrication of grain-aligned [Ca2CoO3−δ]0.62CoO2 (Ca349) thick films and a multilayered thermoelectric unicouple of Ca349 and Ca0.9La0.1MnO3−δ (Mn113) using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and magnetic alignment methods. Strongly c-axis-oriented Ca349 thick films were obtained by EPD performed under magnetic fields. In addition, the c axis of grains was found to always align parallel to the direction of field, independently of the EPD cell configuration. The required conditions for magnetic grain alignment of fine Ca349 powders were quantitatively discussed based on magnetization anisotropy. An α-Al2O3∕Mn113∕α-Al2O3∕Ca349∕α-Al2O3 multilayered thick film was successfully developed.
Throughput/Resource-Efficient Reconfigurable Processor for Multimedia Applications (2012)

This brief presents the implementation and evaluation of an 8-bit adaptable processor core to be part of the power-throughput-area efficient multimedia oriented reconfigurable architecture reconfigurable array. The design of the processor core was custom implemented in IBM's 90 nm CMOS technology and occupies 0.115 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> silicon area with approximately 70% area utilized by core circuits. The processor shows a peak throughput performance of 75 MOPS/mW. Benchmarking results show estimated throughputs of 9.5, 21.36, 39.78, 170.88, and 4.54 MSamples/s for variants of 2-D discrete cosine transform (DCT), 4 × 4 H.264 integer transform, and 2-D discrete wavelet transform, respectively. Our analysis shows that the proposed design provides approximately 4-8 times higher throughput for 2-D DCT when compared against popular architectures.
On Ultra-Wideband MIMO Systems with 1-bit Quantized Outputs: Performance Analysis and Input Optimization (2007)

We study the performance of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels with coarsely quantized outputs in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime, where the channel is perfectly known at the receiver. This analysis is of interest in the context of ultra-wideband (UWB) communications from two aspects. First the available power is spread over such a large frequency band, that the power spectral density is extremely low and thus the SNR is low. Second the analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for such high bandwidth signals should be low-resolution, in order to reduce their cost and power consumption. In this paper we consider the extreme case of only 1-bit ADC for each receive signal component. We compute the mutual information up to second order in the SNR and study the impact of quantization. We show that, up to first order in SNR, the mutual information of the 1-bit quantized system degrades only by a factor of 2/pi compared to the system with infinite resolution independent of the actual MIMO channel realization. With channel state information (CSI) only at receiver, we show that QPSK is, up to the second order, the best among all distributions with independent components. We also elaborate on the ergodic capacity under this scheme in a Rayleigh flat-fading environment.
Probing Distance Dependent Charge-Transfer Character in Excimers of Extended Viologen Cyclophanes Using Femtosecond Vibrational Spectroscopy (2017)

Facile exciton transport within ordered assemblies of π-stacked chromophores is essential for developing molecular photonic and electronic materials. Excimer states having variable charge transfer (CT) character are frequently implicated as promoting or inhibiting exciton mobility in such systems. However, determining the degree of CT character in excimers as a function of their structure has proven challenging. Herein, we report on a series of cyclophanes in which the interplanar distance between two phenyl-extended viologen (ExV<sup>2+</sup>) chromophores is varied systematically using a pair of o-, m-, or p-xylylene (o-, m-, or p-Xy) covalent linkers to produce o-ExBox<sup>4+</sup> (3.5 Å), m-ExBox<sup>4+</sup> (5.6 Å), and p-ExBox<sup>4+</sup> (7.0 Å), respectively. The cyclophane structures are characterized using NMR spectroscopy in solution and single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the solid state. Femtosecond transient mid-IR and stimulated Raman spectroscopies show that the CT contribution to the excimer states formed in o-ExBox<sup>4+</sup> and m-ExBox<sup>4+</sup> depends on the distance between the chromophores within the cyclophanes, while in the weak interaction limit, as represented by p-ExBox<sup>4+</sup> (7.0 Å), the lowest excited singlet state of ExV<sup>2+</sup> exclusively photo-oxidizes the p-Xy spacer to give the p-Xy<sup>+•</sup>-ExV<sup>+•</sup> ion pair. Moreover, the vibrational spectra of the excimer state show that it assumes a geometry that is intermediate between that of the locally excited and CT states, approximately reflecting the degree of CT character.
Lux transfer: Complementary metal oxide semiconductors versus charge-coupled devices (2002)

We compare the performance of competing CCD and CMOS imaging sensors including backside-illuminated devices. Comparisons are made through a new performance transfer curve that shows at a glance performance deficiencies for any given pixel architecture ana- lyzed or characterized. Called lux transfer, the curve plots SNR as a function of absolute light intensity for a family of exposure times over the sensor's dynamic range (i.e., read noise to full well). Critical performance parameters on which the curve is based are reviewed and analytically described (e.g., quantum efficiency (QE), pixel nonuniformity, full well, dark current, read noise, modulation transfer function (MTF), etc.). Be- sides SNR, many by-products come from lux transfer including dynamic range, responsivity (e 2 /lux-s), charge capacity, linearity, and Interna- tional Organization for Standards (ISO) rating. Experimental data gener- ated by 4 mm, three transistor (3T) pixel digital video graphics array (DVGA) and a 5.6-mm, 3T pixel digital extended graphics array (DXGA) CMOS sensors are presented that demonstrate lux transfer use. © 2002
Aalta: an LTL satisfiability checker over Infinite/Finite traces (2014)

Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) is been widely used nowadays in verification and AI. Checking satisfiability of LTL formulas is a fundamental step in removing possible errors in LTL assertions. We present in this paper Aalta, a new LTL satisfiability checker, which supports satisfiability checking for LTL over both infinite and finite traces. Aalta leverages the power of modern SAT solvers. We have conducted a comprehensive comparison between Aalta and other LTL satisfiability checkers, and the experimental results show that Aalta is very competitive. The tool is available at www.lab205.org/aalta.
Beef cattle commercial feedlot studies Trial 2--effects on steer performance of variable protein levels, implanting and worming (1974)

A 189-day trial used 280 mixed-breed steers to study effects of various protein levels in finishing steer rations. Rations containing 15.4 or 13.4% crude protein significantly improved rate of gain during the first 42 days compared with an 11.4% crude protein ration. Rates of gain after 91 or 189 days did not differ significantly indicating that steers make compensatory gains. Removing supplemental protein from the ration of 140 steers the final 28 days did not adversely affect rate or efficiency of gain. One hundred forty steers implanted with 36 mg. zeranol and 140 with 36 mg. stilbestrol gained similarly, however, Ralgro implanted steers graded significantly higher. Steers wormed with levamisole or thiabendazole gained 0.06 pound per day faster than steers not wormed.
Direct view at colossal permittivity in donor-acceptor (Nb, In) co-doped rutile TiO2 (2016)

Topical observations of colossal permittivity (CP) with low dielectric loss in donor-acceptor cations co-doped rutile TiO2 have opened up several possibilities in microelectronics and energy-storage devices. Yet, the precise origin of the CP behavior, knowledge of which is essential to empower the device integration suitably, is highly disputed in the literature. From spectromicroscopic approach besides dielectric measurements, we explore that microscopic electronic inhomogeneities along with the nano-scale phase boundaries and the low temperature polaronic relaxation are mostly responsible for such a dielectric behavior, rather than electron-pinned defect-dipoles/grain-boundary effects as usually proposed. Donor-acceptor co-doping results in a controlled carrier-hopping inevitably influencing the dielectric loss while invariably upholding the CP value.
Novel Method for Optical Coherence Tomography Resolution Enhancement (2011)

A novel method for optical coherence tomography (OCT) resolution enhancement is presented. A simple mathematical analysis is given where, as a final result, the high-resolution image of an object axial structure is obtained. The object axial structure has been found to be proportional to the inverse Fourier transform of the ratio of two optical power spectra, i.e., the “high-frequency” part of the channeled spectrum at the interferometer output and the white-light source spectrum, respectively. An experimental setup, based on a very simple fiber-optic interferometric sensing unit, has been built in order to verify the result of the given mathematical model. Compared to the standard Fourier domain OCT, a sevenfold enhancement of the axial resolution is obtained. By using inexpensive and commercially available equipment, the resolution of about 1.3 μm is obtained.
A New Approach to I/O Performance Evaluation--Self-Scaling I/O (1992)

Current I/O benchmarks suffer from several chronic problems: they quickly become obsolete, they do not stress the I/O system, and they do not help in understanding I/O system performance. We propose a new approach to I/O performance analysis. First, we propose a self-scaling benchmark that dynamically adjusts aspects of its workload according to the performance characteristic of the system being measured. By doing so, it automatically scales across current and future systems. The evaluation aids in understanding system performance by reporting how performance varies according to each of five workload parameters. Second, we propose predicted performance, a technique for using the results from the self-scaling evaluation to quickly estimate the performance for workloads that have not been measured. We show that this technique yields reasonably accurate performance estimates and argue that this method gives a far more accurate comparative performance evaluation than traditional single point benchmarks. We apply our new evaluation technique by measuring a SPARCstation 1+ with one SCSI disk, an HP 730 with one SCSI-II disk, a Sprite LFS DECstation 5000/200 with a four-disk array, a Convex C240 minisupercomputer with a four disk array, and a Solbourne 5E/905 fileserver with a four disk array.
Silicon Vertically Integrated Nanowire Field Effect Transistors (2006)

Silicon nanowires have received considerable attention as transistor components because they represent a facile route toward sub-100-nm single-crystalline Si features. Herein we demonstrate the direct vertical integration of Si nanowire arrays into surrounding gate field effect transistors without the need for postgrowth nanowire assembly processes. The device fabrication allows Si nanowire channel diameters to be readily reduced to the 5-nm regime. These first-generation vertically integrated nanowire field effect transistors (VINFETs) exhibit electronic properties that are comparable to other horizontal nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) and may, with further optimization, compete with advanced solid-state nanoelectronic devices.
Feasibility study of air-breathing turboengines for horizontal takeoff and landing space planes (1991)

Various concepts of air-breathing engines (ABEs) that could be used for a horizontal take-off and landing SSTO vehicle are investigated. The performances (with respect to thrust and the specific fuel consumption) of turboengines based on various technologies, including a turbojet with and without afterburner (TJ), turboramjet, and air-turbo-ram jet engines are compared. The mission capabilities of these ABEs for SSTO and TSTO vehicles is examined in terms of the ratio of the effective remaining weight (i.e., the weight on the orbit) to the take-off gross weight, using two-dimensional flight analysis. It was found that the dry TJ with the turbine inlet temperature 2000 C is one of the most promising candidates for the propulsion system of the SSTO vehicle, because of its small weight and high specific impulse. 6 refs.
Mesoporous Silicate−Surfactant Composites with Hydrophobic Surfaces and Tailored Pore Sizes (2002)

Mesoporous silicate−surfactant composites were prepared via washing of as-synthesized silicate−surfactant−expander materials in appropriate solvents. The expander can be generated in situ from the surfactant decomposition under high-temperature conditions, or supplied externally at the stage of the synthesis or postsynthesis hydrothermal treatment. The washing removed the expander as well as a minor part of the surfactant ions present and thus opened the mesopores whose walls were covered by a relatively dense layer of surfactant ions. Depending on the synthesis method for silicate−surfactant−expander composites, both ordered and disordered mesoporous silicate−surfactant composites were obtained with narrow pore size distributions and a wide range of adjustable pore sizes (4−12 nm). Despite the fact that these materials contained 25−35 wt % of surfactant, they exhibited large BET specific surface areas (360−550 m2 g-1) and total pore volumes (from 0.4 to as large as 1.8 cm3 g-1). It is postulated that the surfactant retained in the silicate−surfactant composites is bonded to the silicate walls via electrostatic interactions, which are originally responsible for the formation of silicate−surfactant or silicate−surfactant−expander mesophases. The mesoporosity of the composites is mostly constituted by the space initially occupied by expander, which was later removed upon washing. The synthesis approach described herein is the first successful method for synthesis of ordered and disordered mesoporous silicate−surfactant composites with hydrophobic surfaces, the latter being predominantly formed by long alkyl chains of surfactant ions.
Organization and Chapter Summaries (2008)

This book consists of ten chapters and seven appendices. The chapters constitute the core of this book and are written in a style adequate for a textbook, whereas the appendices provide either relevant background or additional perspective and are written in the style of a survey article. The relative length and ordering of the chapters (and appendices) do not reflect their relative importance, but rather an attempt at the best logical order (i.e., minimizing the number of forward pointers).
Recommend My Dish: A multi-sensory food recommender (2015)

In this paper, the model for a multi-sensory food recommender is presented, which takes into account both taste and aesthetic attributes of food. The recommender was designed using a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach, and built with the myCBR framework. The recommender was later integrated into an Android application prototype, via which potential user feedback was obtained. We conducted a preliminary user study in which all participants rated their satisfaction with the recommendations above 5 on a scale of 0 to 10. Furthermore, 72% of participants felt that by considering their aesthetic preferences in the recommendation process, the system produced better recommendations than if they were not considered.
INTRAOPERATIVE KETOROLAC AND EYE PAIN AFTER VITREORETINAL SURGERY (2003)

Ketorolac tromethamine is an effective nonnarcotic choice for postoperative pain control following vitreoretinal surgery. Pain control is particularly important in this group of patients, whose compliance with postoperative procedures and positioning may significantly affect surgical outcome.
Excited states by quantum Monte Carlo methods: Imaginary time evolution with projection operators (1997)

We present a Monte Carlo algorithm suitable for the calculation of excited state energies of multidimensional quantum systems. Energies are extracted from a maximum entropy analysis of the imaginary time evolution of a state prepared by application of a projection operator on an initial wave function. The imaginary time evolution is computed with a pure diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm. The method is demonstrated on a harmonic oscillator and several Morse oscillator test problems.
Comparative study of blasting vibrations from Indiana surface coal mines. Report of Investigations/1989 (1989)

The U.S. Bureau of Mines performed a comparative study of nine sites at eight surface coal mines to determine if the presence of near-surface underground abandoned workings resulted in the generation of adverse long-duration, low-frequency blast vibrations. Six of the nine sites had underlying workings, and two had thick layers of low-velocity unconsolidated surface material. Extended seismic arrays were used to identify the vibration characteristics within a few tens of feet of the blasts and also as modified by the propagating media at distances over 1 mile. Production blasts and specially fired single-charge blasts allowed the determination of natural ground frequency and the influence of initiation delay timing. Vibration amplitudes from the production blasts at all sites exceeded historical norms, particularly at the greater distances.
The structure of procalcitonin of the salmon as deduced from its cDNA sequence (1987)

Oligonucleotide probes based on the known amino acid sequence of salmon calcitonin were used to screen a cDNA library obtained from ultimobranchial glands of salmon for clones encoding salmon calcitonin. From the cDNA sequence of strongly hybridizing clones the complete primary structure of the calcitonin precursor could be deduced. Its overall structure is identical with the structures of procalcitonins from other vertebrates and has the highest homology with the chicken precursor.
Identification of Root Cause Failure in Silicon on Insulator Body Contacted nFETs Using Scanning Capacitance Microscopy and Scanning Spreading Resistance Microscopy (2006)

Abstract Root cause for failure of 90 nm body contacted nFETs was identified using scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM) and scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM). The failure mechanism was identified using both cross sectional imaging and imaging of the active silicon - buried oxide (BOX) interface in plan view. This is the first report of back-side plan view SCM and SSRM data for SOI devices. This unique plan view shows the root cause for the failure is an under doped link up region between the body contacts and the active channel of the device.
Evaluation of the Stress Distributions Due to Tire Loading in Layered Structures at Elevated Gravitational Loads (2014)

It is well known that the contact stresses between tires and the pavement surface are dynamic and affected by the tire type, tire inflation pressure, and tire load. It is important to expand the research and understanding to also evaluate the effect of these contact stresses inside the pavement layers. To conduct tests of varying loading conditions effectively inside different pavement structures, the option of using a geotechnical centrifuge to apply ranges of loads in the laboratory has been evaluated. Using the centrifuge allows application of scaled loads and tire dimensions, with correct application of stresses at all locations inside the pavement structure, at a relatively low cost. This paper discusses the results of an experiment where a specific scaled tire was used for load application, and the stresses on the surface and at the base / subbase interface collected for both static and centrifuge conditions. The effect of scaling on the data are evaluated and compared to full-scale results.
Dataset for surface and internal damage after impact on CFRP laminates (2022)

Various foreign objects can collide with CFRP structures, such as CFRP aircraft. Once something impacts with CFRP laminates, both surface damage and internal damage can occur. Even if the external damage is such invisible as called barely visible impact damage, there are matrix cracks or delamination that are the main cause of compressive strength reduction, so it is difficult to find the relationship between external and internal damage on CFRP laminates. This dataset is prepared for predicting impact information only from surface damage profiles using Machine Learning (Hasebe et al., 2022). It includes three data, surface damage image (png), surface depth contour image(png), and internal damage image after ultrasound C-scanning (jpg) after low-velocity impact testing under various impact conditions. The data are helpful for researchers and engineers who deal with the impact behavior of CFRP or data science.
Opportunities for Sensitive Plasma Proteome Analysis (2012)

Despite great interest, investments, and efforts, the ongoing search for plasma protein biomarkers for disease so far has come up surprisingly empty-handed. Although discovery programs have revealed large numbers of biomarker candidates, the clinical utility has been validated for only a very small number of these. While this disappointing state of affairs may suggest that plasma protein biomarkers have little more to offer for diagnostics, we take the perspective that experimental conditions might not have been optimal and that analyses will be required that offer far greater sensitivity than currently available, in terms of numbers of molecules needed for unambiguous detection. Accordingly, techniques are needed to search deep and wide for protein biomarker candidates. The requirements and feasibility of such assays will be discussed.
