Drilling Systems Automation Roadmap - The Means to Accelerate Adoption (2015)

Abstract The Drilling Systems Automation Roadmap (DSA-R) initiative is a cross-industry effort launched in June 2013 to help accelerate the adoption of advancements in drilling systems automation for both onshore and offshore wells. When completed, this technology roadmap will provide the drilling industry with a well-defined guide on the expected development and adoption of drilling systems automation technology in the near and long terms. The focus on needs, vision, scope, and boundaries will enable development of solutions to implement Drilling Systems Automation (DSA) in a manner that effectively improves performance, reduces well costs, removes people from high-risk operations, and promotes general drilling safety, among other key goals. To enhance consensus, the DSA-R initiative decided to affiliate with the SPE, IADC and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). This technology roadmap uses the well-known template developed by Sandia National Laboratories to provide a mechanism to forecast how DSA developments can progress, and to provide a framework to coordinate among disparate players. The process also will enable players outside of the oil and gas industry to envision how to participate and contribute to the implementation and advancement of DSA. From the onset, the roadmap was segmented into eight key challenges, each individually defined in terms of functional description, performance targets, current status, problem statement, and development to meet the vision. The eight challenges are (1) Systems Architecture, (2) Communications, (3) Instrumentation and Measurement Systems, (4) Drilling Machines and Equipment, (5) Control Systems, (6) Simulation Systems and Modeling, (7) Human Systems Integration, and (8) Certification and Standards. Interdisciplinary challenge teams formed by subject-matter experts from both inside and outside the oil and gas industry are developing the maps for the challenges. The interdependencies and related interfaces among the challenges are being coordinated through the committee to ensure consistency of approach and timelines. The purpose of this paper is to describe the launch of the DSA technology roadmap initiative, the processes being applied and key details on the status of each of the challenges. All roadmaps are invariably long-term projects, but the sharing of information at this critical stage is important to encourage wide industry involvement and participation to accelerate the implementation of automation in drilling.
Packing transitions in the elastogranular confinement of a slender loop (2020)

Confined thin structures are ubiquitous in nature. Spatial and length constraints have led to a number of novel packing strategies at both the micro-scale, as when DNA packages inside a capsid, and the macro-scale, seen in plant root development and the arrangement of the human intestinal tract. Here, we investigate the resulting packing behaviors between a growing slender structure constrained by deformable boundaries. Experimentally, we vary the arc length of an elastic loop injected into an array of soft, spherical grains at various initial number densities. At low initial packing fractions, the elastic loop deforms as though it were hitting a flat surface by periodically folding into the array. Above a critical packing fraction φc, local re-orientations within the granular medium create an effectively curved surface leading to the emergence of a distinct circular packing morphology. These results bring new insights into the packing behavior of wires and thin sheets, and will be relevant to modeling plant root morphogenesis, burrowing and locomotive strategies of vertebrates & invertebrates, and developing smart, steerable needles.
Differential involvement of peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors α and δ in fibrate and fatty-acid-mediated inductions of the gene encoding liver fatty-acid-binding protein in the liver and the small intestine (2001)

Liver fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is a cytoplasmic polypeptide that binds with strong affinity especially to long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs). It is highly expressed in both the liver and small intestine, where it is thought to have an essential role in the control of the cellular fatty acid (FA) flux. Because expression of the gene encoding L-FABP is increased by both fibrate hypolipidaemic drugs and LCFAs, it seems to be under the control of transcription factors, termed peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), activated by fibrate or FAs. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which these regulations take place remain to be fully substantiated. Using transfection assays, we found that the different PPAR subtypes (alpha, gamma and delta) are able to mediate the up-regulation by FAs of the gene encoding L-FABP in vitro. Through analysis of LCFA- and fibrate-mediated effects on L-FABP mRNA levels in wild-type and PPARalpha-null mice, we have found that PPARalpha in the intestine does not constitute a dominant regulator of L-FABP gene expression, in contrast with what is known in the liver. Only the PPARdelta/alpha agonist GW2433 is able to up-regulate the gene encoding L-FABP in the intestine of PPARalpha-null mice. These findings demonstrate that PPARdelta can act as a fibrate/FA-activated receptor in tissues in which it is highly expressed and that L-FABP is a PPARdelta target gene in the small intestine. We propose that PPARdelta contributes to metabolic adaptation of the small intestine to changes in the lipid content of the diet.
Disseminated cryptococcosis in an HIV-seronegative pregnant woman with transient T-lymphocytopenia: a case report and review of the literature. (2014)

We report a case of an HIV-seronegative pregnant woman with disseminated cryptococcosis, poorly controlled during gestation. Immunological studies showed T-lymphocytopenia during gestation, but rapid recovery postpartum. T-lymphocytopenia may play a role in increased susceptibility to and severity of cryptococcal infection during pregnancy.

Multilevel optimisation of anaerobic ethyl acetate production in engineered Escherichia coli (2020)

Engineering efforts on protein and fermentation level resulted in an <i>E. coli</i> strain that anaerobically produced 42.8 mM (3.8 g/L) ethyl acetate from glucose with an unprecedented efficiency, i.e. 0.48 C-mol/C-mol or 72% of the maximum pathway yield.
Integrated injection-locked high-power cw diode laser arrays (1989)

We report the first integrated injection-locked high-power continuous-wave diode laser array with an on-chip independently controlled master laser. This device emits a near-diffraction-limited (0.5° full width at half maximum) single-lobed far-field emission beam at single-facet powers up to 125 mW. Also, by current tuning the emission wavelength of the master laser, we observe steering of the single-lobed emission over an angular range of 0.50° at a rate of −1.2×10−2 deg/mA. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating active optical injection and control in the structure of high-power diode laser devices.
A DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM TO IMPROVE ACCURACY OF INPUT SENSORS FOR VEHICLE CLASSIFICATION (1997)

TSTI has been using a single contact treadle switch for eight years on a number of toll systems. (These treadle switches are mounted in the road surface for axle counting and wide wheel detection). A single contact treadle type recently placed into service on two plazas has experienced premature failure. The unacceptable loss of accuracy on a 'live' lane spurred concentrated efforts into a treadle testing and development program. This program has now matured to measure the field reliability of single contact treadle switches. This paper outlines a program for the field measurement of single contact treadle switch reliability and MTTF. This will be related to the factory testing to ensure testing is realistic. These measures will improve the accuracy of these input sensors hence increase the accuracy of intelligent transport systems.

Near band-gap photoluminescence from sulfur-doped silicon samples (1984)

Photoluminescence measurements in sulfur-doped silicon samples reveal new luminescence lines at 1.1439 eV (S1), 1.1150 eV (S2), and 1.0858 eV (S1TO). [S1TO is the transverse optical (TO) phonon replica of the S1 line.] The sharp luminescence lines result from the recombination of excitons bound to two different centers. The S1 line was found to have a thermal ionization energy of 12.0 meV, which corresponds directly to the spectroscopically determined binding energy of the bound exciton. A correlation of the binding centers with the sulfur donor levels is suggested.
A compact dual-band circularly polarized antenna for satellite systems (2017)

A compact dual-band circularly polarized (CP) slotted patch antenna is proposed for global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs). The antenna consists of a main patch radiator, a parasitic patch radiator, and a coaxial feeding probe. Four circular-ring slots are cut onto the circular patch radiators respectively for CP radiation and antenna miniaturization. The parasitic patch radiator is connected to ground using four vias to further reduce the size of the antenna. The compact antenna prototype with an overall size of 0.306λ <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</inf> ×0.306λ <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</inf> ×0.02λ <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</inf> (λ <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0</inf> is the free space wavelength at 1.227 GHz) achieves desired measured performance at L1/L2 bands: −10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth of 2.0% (1.221 GHz–1.246 GHz) and 2.5% (1.533 GHz–1.572 GHz), 3-dB axial ratio (AR) bandwidth of 1.0% (1.22– GHz 1.231 GHz) and 0.84% (1.552 GHz–1.565 GHz); maximum gain of 4.0 dBic at 1.227 GHz and 5.6 dBic at 1.555 GHz. The 3-dB AR beamwidth is more than 145° across the 3-dB AR bandwidth for both bands.
Photoluminescence and scintillation characteristics of Bi-loaded PVK-based plastic scintillators for the high counting-rate measurement of high-energy X-rays (2021)

We synthesized Bi-loaded poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK)-based plastic scintillators for high-energy X-ray detection. PVK, triphenylbismuth (BiPh<sub>3</sub>), and 1,4-bis(2-methylstyryl)benzene (bis-MSB) served as the host polymer, heavy metal compound, and organic phosphor, respectively. The emission peaks at approximately 440 nm in the photoluminescence emission and X-ray-excited radioluminescence spectra of the synthesized scintillators are attributed to bis-MSB. The scintillation decay time constants of the 1st exponential components are 1.6 ns. The presence of BiPh<sub>3</sub> in the synthesized scintillators successfully enhanced their efficiency in the detection of 67.41 keV X-rays. The detection efficiency per 1 mm thickness achieved by a PVK-based plastic scintillator loaded with 10 wt% Bi was 2.5-times higher than that achieved by a commercial polyvinyltoluene (PVT)-based plastic scintillator loaded with 5 wt% Pb, EJ-256. The light yield of the PVK-based plastic scintillator loaded with 10 wt% Bi was 5600 photons per MeV, which was higher than that of EJ-256. We successfully enhanced the high-energy X-ray detection efficiency of PVK-based plastic scintillators, through the addition of BiPh<sub>3</sub>, while maintaining a short decay time of nanoseconds.
Tunable metamaterials fabricated by fiber drawing (2017)

We demonstrate a practical scalable approach to the fabrication of tunable metamaterials. Designed for terahertz (THz) wavelengths, the metamaterial is comprised of polyurethane filled with an array of indium wires using the well-established fiber drawing technique. Modification of the dimensions of the metamaterial provides tunability; by compressing the metamaterial we demonstrated a 50% plasma frequency shift using THz time-domain spectroscopy. Releasing the compression allowed the metamaterial to return to its original dimensions and plasma frequency, demonstrating dynamic reversible tunability.

Structure of MHC class I-like MILL2 reveals heparan-sulfate binding and interdomain flexibility (2018)

The MILL family, composed of MILL1 and MILL2, is a group of nonclassical MHC class I molecules that occur in some orders of mammals. It has been reported that mouse MILL2 is involved in wound healing; however, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we determine the crystal structure of MILL2 at 2.15 Å resolution, revealing an organization similar to classical MHC class I. However, the α1-α2 domains are not tightly fixed on the α3-β<sub>2</sub>m domains, indicating unusual interdomain flexibility. The groove between the two helices in the α1-α2 domains is too narrow to permit ligand binding. Notably, an unusual basic patch on the α3 domain is involved in the binding to heparan sulfate which is essential for MILL2 interactions with fibroblasts. These findings suggest that MILL2 has a unique structural architecture and physiological role, with binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans on fibroblasts possibly regulating cellular recruitment in biological events.
Disentangling Human Dynamics for Pedestrian Locomotion Forecasting with Noisy Supervision (2020)

We tackle the problem of Human Locomotion Forecasting, a task for jointly predicting the spatial positions of several keypoints on human body in the near future under an egocentric setting. In contrast to the previous work that aims to solve either the task of pose prediction or trajectory forecasting in isolation, we propose a framework to unify these two problems and address the practically useful task of pedestrian locomotion prediction in the wild. Among the major challenges in solving this task is the scarcity of annotated egocentric video datasets with dense annotations for pose, depth, or egomotion. To surmount this difficulty, we use state-of-the-art models to generate (noisy) annotations and propose robust forecasting models that can learn from this noisy supervision. We present a method to disentangle the overall pedestrian motion into easier to learn subparts by uti-lizing a pose completion and a decomposition module. The completion module fills in the missing key-point annotations and the decomposition module breaks the cleaned locomotion down to global (trajectory) and local (pose keypoint movements). Further, with Quasi RNN as our backbone, we propose a novel hierarchical trajectory forecasting network that utilizes low-level vision domain specific signals like egomotion and depth to predict the global trajectory. Our method leads to state-of-the-art results for the prediction of human locomotion in the egocentric view.
Less is More in Diabetic Neuropathy Diagnosis: Comparison of Quantitative Sudomotor Axon Reflex and Skin Biopsy (2017)

ENFD has a high diagnostic yield in diabetic DSPN and DSPN-L. Including QSART data adds little to the sensitivity of EFND in DSPN-S.
Pasteurization of milk proteins promotes allergic sensitization by enhancing uptake through Peyer’s patches (2008)

These results indicate that triggering of an anaphylactic response requires two phases (1) sensitization by aggregates through Peyer's patches and (2) efficient transfer of soluble protein across the epithelial barrier. As the majority of common food allergens tend to form aggregates, this may be of clinical importance.

Private Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search with Sublinear Communication (2022)

Nearest neighbor search is a fundamental building-block for a wide range of applications. A privacy-preserving protocol for nearest neighbor search involves a set of clients who send queries to a remote database. Each client retrieves the nearest neighbor(s) to its query in the database without revealing any information about the query. To ensure database privacy, clients must learn as little as possible beyond the query answer, even if behaving maliciously by deviating from protocol. Existing protocols for private nearest neighbor search require heavy cryptographic tools, resulting in high computational and bandwidth overheads. In this paper, we present the first lightweight protocol for private nearest neighbor search. Our protocol is instantiated using two non-colluding servers, each holding a replica of the database. Our design supports an arbitrary number of clients simultaneously querying the database through the two servers. Each query consists of a single round of communication between the client and the two servers. No communication is required between the servers to answer queries. If at least one of the servers is non-colluding, we ensure that (1) no information is revealed on the client’s query, (2) the total communication between the client and the servers is sublinear in the database size, and (3) each query answer only leaks a small and bounded amount of information about the database to the client, even if the client is malicious. We implement our protocol and report its performance on real-world data. Our construction requires between 10 and 20 seconds of query latency over large databases of 10M feature vectors. Client overhead remained under 10ms of processing time per query and less than 10MB of communication.
Enhancing IGZO Thin Film Transistor Scalability Through Tunneling Contact (2019)

By inserting a single layer of graphene in between the metal to In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) contact, the channel carrier injection mechanism of an IGZO Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) can be converted from thermionic emission to tunneling. Experimental results show that the tunneling-TFT can be scaled to a small dimension without compromising leakage current. A 2μm tunneling-TFT shows early saturation and similar subthreshold slope as the long channel devices, while the conventional TFTs can hardly be switched off. Further reduction of the IGZO film thickness can better suppress the short channel effect of the TC-TFTs.
Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy–induced acute kidney injury on oncological outcomes in patients who underwent radical cystectomy: A multicenter retrospective study. (2023)

573 Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Although previous studies have reported that AKI during cancer treatment was associated with poor oncological outcomes in several cancers, the impact of NAC-induced AKI on oncological outcomes in patients with MIBC remains unclear. Methods: This retrospective study included 398 patients who received 2-4 cycles of NAC followed by radical cystectomy (RC). AKI was defined according to the KDIGO criteria. Patients were divided into two groups: patients who developed AKI during NAC (AKI group) and patients who did not (non-AKI group). Multivariable Cox-proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of NAC-induced AKI on recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS). Results: The median age and follow-up period were 69 years and 62 months, respectively. Of the 398 patients, 66 (17%) developed AKI during NAC. The rates of &lt;ypT2 and downstage in the AKI group were significantly lower than those in the non-AKI group (38% vs. 53%, P = 0.023; 53% vs. 69%, P = 0.013; respectively). After adjustment for age, performance status, cisplatin-based regimen, tumor grade, pathological T stage, pathological lymph-node involvement, and positive surgical margin, AKI was associated with shorter RFS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.619, P = 0.043), CSS (HR 1.727, P = 0.049), and OS (HR 1.848, P = 0.008). Conclusions: NAC-induced AKI was associated with reduced effects of NAC and poor oncological outcomes in patients who underwent RC.
The Effectiveness of Acceleration Matching According to the Sensor Performance in Shipboard Rapid Transfer Alignment (2019)

In this study, the effect of acceleration matching according to sensor specifications in rapid transfer alignment is analysed. In general, the velocity and attitude information of the Master Inertial Navigation System (MINS) is used for transfer alignment. MINS angular velocity information is used to improve the alignment speed in shipboard transfer alignment. Acceleration matching, on the other hand, is generally considered an impractical option for transfer alignment. However, in the case of shipboard transfer alignment, acceleration matching is thought to be effective. In order to analyse the performance of acceleration matching, a performance index is defined and the efficiency of acceleration matching is analysed according to various sensor specifications and simulation environments. Based on the analysis of the estimated performance according to the simulation results, it is confirmed that acceleration matching in rapid transfer alignment is valid.
