Improving Traveler Information and Collecting Behavior Data with Smartphones (2012)

The recent growth of smartphones along with cheap, scalable cloud computing infrastructure has allowed for a plethora of new applications to be built. In transportation, two main efforts have been greatly impacted by this, delivering better traveler information to users, and collecting travel behavior information for researchers. This thesis describes 4 major efforts along these two themes; the development of a real-time transit trip planner, the evaluation of the value of real- time data, the development of a smartphone based automated travel diary system, and the design and evaluation of a behavior change experiment using the travel diary system. The first half of the thesis describes the technical development of the real-time transit trip planner along with experiments showing the positive impacts to travelers. Prior to this work, transit trip planners primarily used schedule data to route people through a transit network. This work is the first solution to the K- shortest paths problem to use real-time transit arrival data retrieved from a third party API. The algorithm then was implemented in an application called BayTripper, which serves over 1,000 users in the San Francisco Bay Area. The second half of the thesis describes the technical development of the automated travel diary system, which consists of battery efficient smartphone applications, server infrastructure to process data with trip determination algorithms, and web tools used to evaluate the accuracy of the system. The contribution to the literature is a catalogue of problems and related algorithmic solutions to building an end-to-end, battery efficient, automated travel diary. A behavior change experiment was designed and run using the automated travel diary system, which showed the potential for\t changes\t in\t users' awareness of their travel behavior, intentions to change, and short-term behavior change. This experiment represents a large scale test of the automated travel diary system, as well as a demonstration of using behavior change techniques, feedback and comparison, to promote sustainable travel behavior.
Comparison of 3 C-Arm Draping Techniques to Prevent Far Side Contamination (2021)

Far side contamination can be reduced by using a split drape connecting the operative table to the C-Arm receiver, effectively "sealing off" contaminants. The proprietary close-fitting drape may also decrease contamination, but this was not statistically significant in this study. Use of the split drape technique will help prevent contamination and may ultimately lead to decreased infection risk.
Electron Photoejection from Corannulene Dianion and Li+-Mediated Recombination of the Photogenerated Species (2000)

The antiaromatic corannulene dianion, Cor2-, undergoes photoejection of an electron to yield an intimate cage complex of Cor•- and the electron. Part of the complex species undergoes cage recombination, krec1 = 1.1 × 106 s-1, while the other part of complex separates, ks = 2.3 × 106 s-1, and yields Cor•- and a Li+/e- ion pair. Diffusional recombination of the later products proceeds with a bimolecular rate constant corresponding to krec2 = 1.3 × 109 M-1 s-1. Time-resolved laser flash-photolysis and FT-EPR experiments are used to characterize the transient species.
Predicting Pressure Drop of Wall-Flow Diesel Particulate Filters - Theory and Experiment (2000)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Information on transport mechanisms in a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) provides crucial insight into the filter performance. Extensive experimental work has been pursued to modify, customize and validate a model yielding accurate predictions of a ceramic wall-flow DPF pressure drop. The model accounts, not only for the major pressure drop components due to flow through porous walls but also, for viscous losses due to channel plugs, flow contraction and expansion due to flow entering and exiting the trap and also for flow secondary inertial effects near the porous walls. Experimental data were collected on a matrix of filters covering change in filter diameter and length, cell density and wall thickness and for a wide range of flow rates. The model yields accurate predictions of DPF pressure drop with no particulate loading and, with adequate adjustment, it is also capable of making predictions of pressure drop for filters lightly-loaded with particulates. The filters in this study are uncatalyzed. Efforts are also underway to validate an ‘upgraded’ version of this model for filters with appreciable particulate loading.&lt;/div&gt;
Living off the Land (2015)

Abstract This chapter discusses the time-honored strategy of living off the land in the Space Age known as Indigenous Support of Life and Environment (ISLE). ISLE is necessary when distance and orbital mechanics make cargo missions from Earth unworkable. The distances for Mars and beyond are too great to depend on the Earth for cargo and, ultimately, ISLE determines the feasibility of human exploration of the Solar System. A sound ISLE strategy first requires energy and energy-efficient technologies, which will evolve from prototype to praxis beginning on the lunar surface. Other considerations include the larger the human ecological footprint left behind in space; the need to harvest sufficient amounts of water and oxygen to live safely; and the importance of an effective food cycle for deep space exploration.
A simulation environment for assisting system design of coherent laser doppler wind sensor for active wind turbine pitch control (2013)

In order to assist a system design of laser coherent Doppler wind sensor for active pitch control of wind turbine systems (WTS), we developed a numerical simulation environment for modeling and simulation of the sensor system. In this paper we present this simulation concept. In previous works, we have shown the general idea and the possibility of using a low cost coherent laser Doppler wind sensing system for an active pitch control of WTS in order to achieve a reduced mechanical stress, increase the WTS lifetime and therefore reduce the electricity price from wind energy. Such a system is based on a 1.55&mu;m Continuous-Wave (CW) laser plus an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with an output power of 1W. Within this system, an optical coherent detection method is chosen for the Doppler frequency measurement in megahertz range. A comparatively low cost short coherent length laser with a fiber delay line is used for achieving a multiple range measurement. In this paper, we show the current results on the improvement of our simulation by applying a Monte Carlo random generation method for positioning the random particles in atmosphere and extend the simulation to the entire beam penetrated space by introducing a cylindrical co-ordinate concept and meshing the entire volume into small elements in order to achieve a faster calculation and gain more realistic simulation result. In addition, by applying different atmospheric parameters, such as particle sizes and distributions, we can simulate different weather and wind situations.
DNA dynamics observed with long lifetime metal‐ligand complexes (1995)

Abstract Measurements of DNA dynamics are typically limited to the nanosecond timescale because of the nanosecond decay times of commonly used fluorophores such as ethidium bromide and acridine derivatives. We show that the time‐resolved anisotropy measurements can be extended to the submicrosecond timescale using metal‐ligand complexes. The ruthenium complex [Ru(2,2′,‐bipyridine) 2 (dipyrido[3,2‐a : 2′,3′‐c]phenazine)] 2+ , or [Ru(bpy) 2 (dppz)] 2+ , was found to display high anisotropy near 0.2, at −60°C in 100% glycerol, when excited in its long‐wavelength absorption bands. The decay time of [Ru(bpy) 2 (dppz)] 2+ when bound to DNA is over 100 ns, allowing intensity to be measured to over 400 ns. Other Ru complexes display still longer lifetimes to 750 ns when bound to DNA. This class of fluorophores should enable measurement of DNA dynamics over a wide range of times (from 1 ns to several μs), which were previously inaccessible using time‐resolved fluorescence. © 1995 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Inc.

Stakeholder Engagement in HIV Cure Research: Lessons Learned from Other HIV Interventions and the Way Forward (2015)

Clinical and basic science advances have raised considerable hope for achieving an HIV cure by accelerating research. This research is dominated primarily by issues about the nature and design of current and future clinical trials. Stakeholder engagement for HIV cure remains in its early stages. Our analysis examines timing and mechanisms of historical stakeholder engagement in other HIV research areas for HIV-uninfected individuals [vaccine development and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)], and HIV-infected individuals (treatment as prevention, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and treatment of acute HIV infection) and articulate a plan for HIV cure stakeholder engagement. The experience from HIV vaccine development shows that early engagement of stakeholders helped manage expectations, mitigating the failure of several vaccine trials, while paving the way for subsequent trials. The relatively late engagement of HIV stakeholders in PrEP research may partly explain some of the implementation challenges. The treatment-related stakeholder engagement was strong and community-led from the onset and helped translation from research to implementation. We outline five steps to initiate and sustain stakeholder engagement in HIV cure research and conclude that stakeholder engagement represents a key investment in which stakeholders mutually agree to share knowledge, benefits, and risk of failure. Effective stakeholder engagement prevents misconceptions. As HIV cure research advances from early trials involving subjects with generally favorable prognosis to studies involving greater risk and uncertainty, success may depend on early and deliberate engagement of stakeholders.
Radioactive Labeling of Proteins in Vitro (1971)

A procedure is described for the radioactive labeling of proteins in vitro in which 3H-or 14C-methyl groups are attached to the protein amino groups by reductive alkylation.Several proteins and several viruses have been labeled to specific activities of typically 5 X lo6 cpm per mg of protein.Some applications are illustrated.
Broadband 3-dB splitter based on the weighted structure waveguides by the Blackman function (2015)

Abroadband3-dB splitter based on the weighted structure waveguides by the Blackman function is analytically and numerically investigated. The waveguide structure is a symmetric triple-mode evolution structure weighted by the Blackman function to realize the 3-dB splitter with high optical performances. The splitter is analyzed by using the coupled-mode equations and simulated by the use of three-dimensional finite-difference beam propagation method. It is shown the 3-dB splitter is insensitive for wavelength and polarization forever a large bandwidth of 1530 to 1610nm. It is obtained that the power uniformity, wavelength dependent loss, excess loss and polarization dependent loss of the obtained 3-dB splitter within the range from 1530 to 1610nm are better than 2.49×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> dB, 0.018 dB, 0.14 dB, and 0.004 dB, respectively. Obviously, 3-dB splitter with high optical performances can be used for C+L-band passive optical network applications.
Rehabilitación de un caso con periodontitis activa y periimplantitis avanzada. Enfoque mínimamente invasivo. (2022)

Periodontal disease (PD) is an oral pathology with a high prevalence worldwide. There are different treatments for periodontal disease, with the trend in recent years being towards minimally invasive treatments. In cases where implants cannot be treated predictably in the long term, we should also consider removing the implant using atraumatic methods and retreatment of the case. A point to be taken into account both for the insertion of a dental implant and for its maintenance after periimplantitis or for its replacement is the periodontal status of the patient. Periodontal disease can affect the prognosis of our treatment in this type of situation. In the following clinical case, we show the treatment of a patient affected by PD and periimplantitis with a minimally invasive approach.
Heterotransplantation of cultured human cancer cells and human cancer tissues into nude mice. (1975)

Twenty-seven out of 31 cultured human cancer cell lines transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice produced solid tumors. Direct transplantation of surgical materials proved less successful. In 35 attempts, only 1 of 6 gastric cancers, 2 of 3 liposarcomas, and 1 of 3 osteosarcomas were accepted. No positive tumor formation was noted after the inoculation of 3 nasopharyngeal carcinomas or 1 breast cancer. None of lymphomatous neoplasms and leukemias produced any tumor in 12 and 3 attempts, respectively. The histological and cytological characteristics of the tumors developed were studied with light and electron microscopes, in relation to the features in vitro and those of the parent tumors. Histological similarity of the tumors that developed in nude mice to their parent tumors were noteworthy. Serial transplantation was performed successfully in 9 cell lines and 2 tissues. Preservation of tissue construction ability and other differentiation abilities of in vitro cultured human cancer cells were ascertained in varying degrees.

Raman spectroscopic characterization of isomers of metal N-phenyl protoporphyrin IX dimethylesters (1992)

The reaction of heme proteins with phenylhydrazine results in N-phenylprotoporphyrin formation. The authors are using resonance Raman and UV-visible adsorption spectroscopies to investigate the structure of N-phenylprotoporphyrin dimethylesters (N[Phi]PPDME) metal derivatives. Distortion from planarity of the protoporphyrin macrocycle results from addition of the phenyl group. Porphyrin planarity is thought to influence chemical and electron-transfer properties of tetrapyrroles contained in proteins such as methylreductase and the photosynthetic reaction center. Specifically, the authors investigated the conformation of regioisomers obtained by substitution at the A, B, C, and D pyrrole rings on the distal side. Isomers A and B of Cu- and ZnN[Phi]PPDME show spectroscopic similarities and isomers C and D are similar; A and B are different from isomers C and D. This difference is due mainly to the location of the vinyl substituents at the periphery of the porphyrin. In the Raman spectra, the differences show up primarily in the vinyl vibrational modes and vinyl-sensitive porphyrin modes. Molecular mechanics calculations also are used to interpret the spectroscopic results. The calculations were carried out for various isomers and conformers of Fe(III) N-phenylprotoporphyrin chloride and Cu(II) N-phenylprotoporphyrin. Predicted structures are similar to reported N-substituted tetraphenylporphyrins, with the major distortion from planarity occurring formore » the N-substituted pyrrole ring. The energies are found to be affected by orientations of the vinyl substituent groups.« less

The results of the first histological investigation of SIS in human subjects emphasize the special status of SIS among implant materials.
Molecular characterization of Camberwell virus and sequence variation in ORF3 of small round‐structured (Norwalk‐like) viruses (1996)

Five small round-structured viruses (SRSVs) associated with gastroenteritis in Victoria, Australia, from January to November 1994 were examined by sequencing cDNA prepared from faecal samples using RT-PCR. The sequence of the 3′ half (3.8 kb) of the genome of one of these viruses, Camberwell, was determined. Camberwell virus was related most closely to Bristol and Lordsdale viruses, and belonged to the genetic group of SRSVs containing Bristol, Lordsdale, Toronto, OTH-25, Mexico, and Hawaii viruses. The amino acid identities between Camberwell and Bristol viruses for proteins encoded by ORF1 (partial), ORF2, and ORF3 were 99%, 98%, and 90%, respectively. A highly variable region in ORF3 corresponding to amino acid residues 123 to 169 (Bristol and Camberwell numbering) were identified. Short segments of ORF1 (polymerase region) and the highly variable ORF3 region was analysed for the other four viruses. The results obtained indicated the potential usefulness of the variable region in distinguishing between closely related viruses. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Soybean Oil and Beef Tallow in Starter Broiler Diets (2009)

The objective of this study was to determine the energy values of soybean oil (SBO) and tallow (T) combined in different ratios, and to evaluate their effects on the performance, body composition, and serum lipid levels of starter broilers. In experiment I, a digestibility trial was performed to determine the energy value of the SOB and T mixtures using 100 12 - to 21 -day-old broilers. In experiment II, 930 one-day-old broilers were used. Treatments consisted of the inclusion of 4% SBO and T inclusions at the following ratios: 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, 100:0. Each treatment included six replicates. In experiment I, AME and AMEn linearly increased (P<0.01), as SBO participation in the mixture increased. In experiment II, the different lipid ratios quadratically influenced (P<0.01) body weight and weight gain at 21 days of age, increasing up to the ratio of 65.87:34.13. Serum lipids linearly decreased (P<0.05) as SOB inclusion in the diet increased. It was concluded that AME and AMEn of SBO and T at ratios of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 were 7.882 and 7.542, 8.384 and 8.076, 8.701 and 8.385, 8.801 and 8.727, and 9.478 and 9.271 kcal/kg, respectively. The best performance with no detrimental effect on carcass yield was obtained with the mixture of 75% SBO with 25% T. The highest dietary soybean oil level reduced serum lipid levels of 21-day-old broilers.

Incidental Detection of Unsuspected Pulmonary Embolism on Oncologic FDG PET/CT Imaging (2011)

Incidental findings are not infrequent on integrated FDG PET/CT scans by the virtue of obtaining images from skull base to mid thigh. These can be on the FDG PET portion or the CT portion of the study and can be clinically significant. We report a case of FDG PET/CT imaging performed for staging of head and neck cancer that led to the detection of unsuspected pulmonary embolism. Our case reinforces the importance of careful interpretation of incidental findings on FDG PET/CT imaging as they can have a significant effect on patient management.
Ontology mapping and data discovery for the translational investigator. (2010)

An integrated data repository (IDR) containing aggregations of clinical, biomedical, economic, administrative, and public health data is a key component of an overall translational research infrastructure. But most available data repositories are designed using standard data warehouse architecture that employs arbitrary data encoding standards, making queries across disparate repositories difficult. In response to these shortcomings we have designed a Health Ontology Mapper (HOM) that translates terminologies into formal data encoding standards without altering the underlying source data. We believe the HOM system promotes inter-institutional data sharing and research collaboration, and will ultimately lower the barrier to developing and using an IDR.
Convex-Split and Hypothesis Testing Approach to One-Shot Quantum Measurement Compression and Randomness Extraction (2019)

This paper concerns the problem of quantum measurement compression with side information in the one-shot setting with shared-randomness. In this problem, Alice shares a pure quantum state with Bob and the reference system. She performs a measurement on her registers and wishes to communicate the outcome to Bob using shared-randomness and classical communication. The outcome that Bob receives must be correctly correlated with the reference system and his own registers. Our goal is to concurrently minimize the classical communication and shared-randomness cost. The suggested protocol presented in this paper is based on convex-split and position based decoding. The communication is upper bounded in terms of smooth max and hypothesis testing relative entropies. A second protocol addresses the task of strong randomness extraction in the presence of quantum side information. The protocol provides an error guarantee in terms of relative entropy (as opposed to trace distance) and extracts close to the optimal number of uniform bits. As an application, we provide a new achievability result for the task of quantum measurement compression without feedback, in which Alice does not need to know the outcome of the measurement. The result achieves the optimal number of bits communicated and the required number of bits of shared-randomness, for the same task in the asymptotic and i.i.d. setting.
