Affective touch communication in close adult relationships (2019)

Inter-personal touch is a powerful aspect of social interaction that we expect to be particularly important for emotional communication. We studied the capacity of closely acquainted humans to signal the meaning of several word cues (e.g. gratitude, sadness) using touch sensation alone. Participants communicated all cues with above chance performance. We show that emotionally close people can accurately signal the meaning of different words through touch, and that performance is affected by the amount of contextual information available. Even with minimal context and feedback, both attention-getting and love were communicated surprisingly well. Neither the type of close relationship, nor self-reported comfort with touch significantly affected performance.
Energy conversion from electrolyte concentration gradient using charged nano-pores (2016)

Power generation based on the reversed electro-dialysis (RED) cell is studied both numerically and experimentally in this work. The membrane that separates the concentrated and dilute electrolytes is treated as a charged nano-pore array. Both numerical and experimental results show that the RED cell performance is similar to the typical electrochemical cell having a linearly varied current–voltage relation. The open circuit voltage and short-circuit current depend on the ion selectivity of the nano-pore membrane, which is related to the concentration ratio, pore surface charge density, and pore size. The highest energy conversion efficiencies are approximately 48% and 24% from numerical predictions and experimental measurements, respectively. The reason for this discrepancy is attributed to the inhomogenous pore size and surface charge density distributions of the Al2O3 membrane used in these experiments.
Binary Nanoparticles Coassembly in Bioinspired Block Copolymer Films: A Stepwise Synthesis Approach Using Multifunctional Catechol Groups and Magneto-Optical Properties (2018)

The development of hybrid films containing binary nanoparticles is one of the current key objectives in nanotechnology. Different nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix exhibit diverse functions, and their properties are influenced by the interplay between the nanoparticles. The poly(vinyl catechol)-block-polystyrene (PVCa-b-PSt) block copolymer containing a catechol group, which is inspired by the adhesive protein found in the mussel foot, is an attractive platform for the coassembly of binary nanoparticles because the catechol group has various desirable properties, including the ability to coordinate metal oxides and reduce metal ions. In the fabrication of hybrid materials based on PVCa-b-PSt thin films, it is challenging to control the microdomain morphologies and the nanoparticle assembly process. In this work, we investigate the impact of solvent vapor annealing on microphase-separated nanostructures in lamellae-forming PVCa-b-PSt. We show that a fast solvent vapor annealing in a tetrahydrofuran atmosphere for 10 min induces the formation of perpendicularly oriented lamellar structures within PVCa-b-PSt thin films. We also propose a stepwise approach to create binary nanoparticles coassemblies in PVCa-b-PSt thin films. In the first step of this process, we exploit the metal–coordination properties of PVCa-b-PSt catechol groups to drive the directed self-assembly of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles for the preparation of magnetic hybrid thin films. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles are dispersed and localized mainly within PVCa microdomains of the lamellar PVCa-b-PSt thin films. In the second step, the catechol group reduces the Ag+ ion in the magnetic hybrid thin films, which leads to the formation of hybrid thin films containing Ag nanoparticles. Plasmonic Ag nanoparticles and magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles coassemble in the PVCa microdomains. The resulting plasmonic/magnetic hybrid thin films exhibit an enhanced magneto-optical Kerr effect because of the localized surface plasmon resonance of the Ag nanoparticles near Fe3O4 nanoparticles within the PVCa microdomains. Such magneto-optical (MO) properties make the hybrid thin films interesting for imaging of magnetic fields and MO devices. Our results indicate that PVCa-b-PSt is a promising platform for developing well-ordered hybrid thin films containing different nanoparticles.
Accountability in Smart Microgrids Based on Conservative Power Theory (2011)

Smart microgrids offer a new challenging domain for power theories and metering techniques because they include a variety of intermittent power sources which positively impact on power flow and distribution losses but may cause voltage asymmetry and frequency variation. In smart microgrids, the voltage distortion and asymmetry in presence of poly-phase nonlinear loads can be also greater than in usual distribution lines fed by the utility, thus affecting measurement accuracy and possibly causing tripping of protections. In such a context, a reconsideration of power theories is required since they form the basis for supply and load characterization. A revision of revenue metering techniques is also suggested to ensure a correct penalization of the loads for their responsibility in generating reactive power, voltage asymmetry, and distortion. This paper shows that the conservative power theory provides a suitable background to cope with smart grids characterization and metering needs. Simulation and experimental results show the properties of the proposed approach.
Role of Li6CoO4Cathode Additive in Li-Ion Cells Containing Low Coulombic Efficiency Anode Material (2012)

Li6CoO4 with an anti-fluorite structure was prepared and studied as a cathode additive for a Li-ion battery consisting of LiCoO2 (namely LCO) cathode and Si-SiOx (namely SiOx) anodes. In situ XRD and TEM, combined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that Li6CoO4 was decomposed to electrochemically inactive phases such as Li6-xCoO4 and Li2O and CoO2 during the first cycle. Due to this effect, Li6CoO4 showed the first charge and discharge capacities of 318 and 13 mAhg(-1), respectively between 4.4V and 1.0V, showing an irreversible capacity ratio of 96%. Because of such a high irreversible capacity, the additive could effectively compensate for the irreversible capacity of the Li-ion cell consisting of LCO cathode and SiOx anode with a high irreversible capacity ratio of 57%. The first discharge capacity of a balanced full cell with LCO/SiOx without an additive was 77 mAh/g. However, when the Li6CoO4 cathode additive was optimized to 15 wt% in the LCO composite in the same cell as above, the first discharge capacity was 133 mAh/g.
Macroscopic Susceptibility in Ultra High Field MRI (1999)

When using gradient-recalled echo imaging in combination with relatively long TE values, magnetic susceptibility artifacts can be severe at 8 T. These artifacts could be reduced by increasing receiver bandwidths and by lowering effective TEs. As ultra high field MRI provides a fertile ground for the study of susceptibility artifacts in MRI, improvements obtained at this field strength will have a direct impact on studies performed at lower field strengths.

Hypolipidemic Effect of Triphala in Experimentally Induced Hypercholesteremic Rats (2007)

Hypercholesteremia is one of the risk factors for coronary artery disease. The present study highlights the efficacy of Ayurvedic herbal formulation Triphala (Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, and Emblica officinalis) on total cholesterol, Low density lipoprotein (LDL), Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), High density lipoprotein (HDL) and free fatty acid in experimentally induced hypercholesteremic rats. Four groups of rats were employed namely control, Triphala treated, hypercholesterolemia rats (4% Cholesterol + 1% cholic acid + egg yolk) and Triphala pre-treatment in hypercholesteremic rats. Results showed significant increase in the total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, and free fatty acid in hypercholesteremic rats were significantly reduced in Triphala treated hypercholesteremic rats. The data demonstrated that Triphala formulation was associated with hypolipidemic effects on the experimentally induced hypercholesteremic rats.

Polarization engineering via staggered InGaN quantum wells for radiative efficiency enhancement of light emitting diodes (2007)

Staggered InGaN quantum wells (QWs) grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition are demonstrated as improved active region for visible light emitters. Theoretical studies indicate that InGaN QW with step-function-like In content in the quantum well offers significantly improved radiative recombination rate and optical gain in comparison to the conventional type-I InGaN QW. Experimental results of light emitting diode (LED) structure utilizing staggered InGaN QW show good agreement with theory. Polarization band engineering via staggered InGaN quantum well allows enhancement of radiative recombination rate, leading to the improvement of photoluminescence intensity and LED output power.
Preexisting heart failure with reduced ejection fraction attenuates renal fibrosis after ischemia reperfusion via sympathetic activation (2021)

Abstract Although chronic heart failure is clinically associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), the precise mechanism that connects kidney and heart remains unknown. Here, we elucidate the effect of pre-existing heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) on kidney via sympathetic activity, using the combining models of transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and unilateral renal ischemia reperfusion (IR). The evaluation of acute (24 h) and chronic (2 weeks) phases of renal injury following IR 8 weeks after TAC in C57BL/6 mice revealed that the development of renal fibrosis in chronic phase was significantly attenuated in TAC mice, but not in non-TAC mice, whereas no impact of pre-existing heart failure was observed in acute phase of renal IR. Expression of transforming growth factor-β, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and macrophage infiltration were significantly reduced in TAC mice. Lastly, to investigate the effect of sympathetic nerve activity, we performed renal sympathetic denervation two days prior to renal IR, which abrogated attenuation of renal fibrosis in TAC mice. Collectively, we demonstrate the protective effect of pre-existing HFrEF on long-term renal ischemic injury. Renal sympathetic nerve may contribute to this protection; however, further studies are needed to fully clarify the comprehensive mechanisms associated with attenuated renal fibrosis and pre-existing HFrEF.
Desmosomes in Human Disease (2018)

Tissue integrity is crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of living organisms. Abnormalities that affect sites of cell-cell contact can cause a variety of debilitating disorders. The desmosome is an essential cell-cell junctional protein complex in tissues that undergo stress, and it orchestrates intracellular signal transduction. Desmosome assembly and junctional integrity are required to maintain the overall homeostasis of a tissue, organ, and organism. This review discusses the desmosome and the human diseases associated with its disruption.
The wave forces acting on a floating hemisphere undergoing forced periodic oscillations (1982)

The object of this paper is to derive the added mass and damping coefficients associated with the periodic motions of a floating hemisphere. Two physically distinct cases are considered; namely those of heave and surge, where these nautical terms refer respectively to a vertical or horizontal oscillation of the body. Computations have been done and the values found for the various force coefficients are presented in tabulated form. A brief derivation of the long- and short-wave asymptotics of these coefficients has also been included.

Virtual friend or threat? The effects of facial expression and gaze interaction on psychophysiological responses and emotional experience (2009)

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of facial expression, gaze interaction, and gender on attention allocation, physiological arousal, facial muscle responses, and emotional experience in simulated social interactions. Participants viewed animated virtual characters varying in terms of gender, gaze interaction, and facial expression. We recorded facial EMG, fixation duration, pupil size, and subjective experience. Subject's rapid facial reactions (RFRs) differentiated more clearly between the character's happy and angry expression in the condition of mutual eye-to-eye contact. This finding provides evidence for the idea that RFRs are not simply motor responses, but part of an emotional reaction. Eye movement data showed that fixations were longer in response to both angry and neutral faces than to happy faces, thereby suggesting that attention is preferentially allocated to cues indicating potential threat during social interaction.
Cabin Air Humidity Model and its Application (2015)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;In addition to the thermal comfort of the vehicle occupants, their safety by ensuring adequate visibility is an objective of the automotive climate control system. An integrated dew point and glass temperature sensor is widely used among several other technologies to detect risk of fog formation on the cabin side (or inner) surface of the windshield. The erroneous information from a sensor such as the measurement lag can cause imperfect visibility due to the delayed response of the climate control system. Also the high value, low cost vehicles may not have this sensor due to its high cost. A differential equation based model of the cabin air humidity is proposed to calculate in real-time specific humidity of the passenger compartment air. The specific humidity is used along with the windshield surface temperature to determine relative humidity of air and therefore, the risk of fog formation on the interior surface of a windshield. The generally uniform spatial distribution of cabin air humidity is used to advantage. However, the accuracy of a cabin air humidity model is evaluated for the non-uniform distribution of the windshield surface temperature and the uncertainty of the parameters of a differential equation model. The sensitivity analysis is performed to determine acceptable range of each parameter for an accurate prediction of fog or frost formation on the windshield surface. Application of a cabin air humidity model to predict risk of fog formation is demonstrated with an experimental vehicle installed with three humidity - integrated dew point and glass temperature sensors. The implication of the use of a model for diagnosis of a humidity sensor is also outlined.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Emerging Technologies For Compact Visible Laser Sources (1988)

A number of laser and non-linear optical technologies are converging on commercial designs. High power laser diodes and non-linear materials are being incorporated in prototype lasers, many of which will become commercially available products during the next 1-5 years. This paper will review the output characteristics of such lasers. Lasers which will be discussed include direct doubling of laser diodes based on proton exchanged lithium niobate, fiber lasers, frequency doubled diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers, and sum frequency mixed Nd:YAG lasers. Such lasers are capable of providing milliwatt output powers in the green and/or blue spectral regions.
Seabed gallery intake technical feasibility for SWRO facilities at Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia (2014)

Surficial drainage features that allow periodic flash-flood discharges to the shallow marine environment cause operational problems for seawater reverse osmosis water treatment plants at Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia. The facility at Shuqaiq was designed to produce 212,000,m3/day of fresh water and it has experienced operational difficulties. An investigation was conducted to assess the technical feasibility of developing a subsurface intake system that would improve the feedwater quality to this and other facilities. A seabed gallery system was found to be technically feasible to supply the required 530,000 m3/day inflow. The design contains nine cells, each yielding 66,250 m3/day with an infiltration rate of 10 m/day. The filter would have a hydraulic retention time of 7 h. Each cell contains five layers with the total filter bed thickness of 5 m. Design of the filter under-drain system was optimized to maintain an equal flow rate at the top of the filter.
Amplification of mRNA From Laser-microdissected Single or Clustered Cells in Formalin-fixed and Paraffin-embedded Tissues for Application in Quantitative Real-time PCR (2008)

The determination of marker genes and gene clusters involved in disease pathogenesis is increasingly contingent on high-throughput methods of gene expression profiling. However, the concurrently increasing application of mRNA from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue archives, as well as cell-type-specific approaches by laser-assisted microdissection, frequently results in very small and degraded quantities of RNA. Therefore, a successful amplification of cell-type-specific mRNA targets from FFPE tissues becomes more and more essential. To optimize the hitherto limited technical options, we applied 3 commercial amplification kits on FFPE single cells. We thereby determined the approach of target-specific cDNA amplification as being notably appropriate for subsequent real-time polymerase chain reaction, as a constant decrease of CT values by 14 polymerase chain reaction cycles could be demonstrated.

Human Aspects in Software Architecture Decision Making: A Literature Review (2017)

Despite past efforts, we have little understanding and limited research efforts on how architects make decisions in the real-world settings. It seems that software architecture researchers make implicit assumption that decision making by software architects can be a rational and prescribed process. Such an assumption is disputed in other fields such as economics and decision research. This paper studies the current state of software architecture decision making research in terms of human behaviors and practice. We carried out a literature review on software architecture decision making. We classified papers into decision making behavior and decision making practice and identified the research relationships between them. We found that decision making is a mental activity. Research into the behavioral aspects of software architecture decision making for incorporation into architectural design practices is required. We suggest three research topics on human aspects to improve software architecture practices.
Thermal, Structural, and Mechanical Properties of Strands of Blends of Liquid-Crystalline Copolyester and Copolyesteramide with Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (1995)

Rheological, thermal, structural, and mechanical properties of strands of two kinds of blends containing a liquid-crystalline copolyester (LCP-A) and a liquid-crystalline copolyesteramide (LCP-B) with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), respectively, were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile testing. The apparent melt viscosity of LCP-A/PET blends was slightly smaller than that of LCP-B/PET blends. Thermal behaviour of the two LCP/PET blends showed that both LCP-A and LCP-B are incompatible with PET. The cold crystallization temperature and the phase transition heat of the PET component became a little lower with increasing a draw ratio of the strands only for LCP-A/PET blends. The LCP-A component formed oriented fibrils more easily in the strands of blends below 50% LCP-A content even at low draw ratios, while the LCP-B one tended to form many spherical or elliptical structures. As a result, the strands of LCP-A/PET blends had better tensile properties than those of LCP-B/PET ones in this work.
Intraoperative Thrombus Embolization During Nephrectomy and Tumor Thrombectomy: Critical Analysis of the University of California-Los Angeles Experience (2008)

Intraoperative thrombus embolization is rare but when it occurs, mortality is extremely high. Strict attention to surgical principles is necessary to decrease risk. Extension into the vena cava, preoperative pulmonary embolism and a bland thrombus component may indicate increased risk. Adjunct procedures, such as preoperative filters and endoluminal occlusive balloons, may be justified in patients at high risk. Even with prompt recognition and embolectomy survival is rare.
