Seismic Test of a Heat Exchanger with a Helically Coiled Tube Bundle (1997)

Vibration tests on an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) with a helically coiled tube bundle were performed by using a partial model to focus on investigating the complicated vibrational behavior induced by the interaction through the seismic stop between the center pipe and the bundle. The experimental results were compared with the calculated values obtained from a simple model in which the bundle was treated as a combined mass with the center pipe. As a result, it was confirmed that the simple model is useful in predicting the vibrational behavior of the IHX.
What Drives Symptom Reduction in Attention Bias Modification Treatment? A Randomized Controlled Experiment in Clinically Anxious Youths (2020)

Attention-bias modification (ABM) is a novel treatment for anxiety disorders. We tested the contribution of two possible factors implicated in ABM’s efficacy: training of threat-related selective spatial attention and exposure to threat. We also measured general attention control to examine its potential role in treatment effects. A four-arm randomized controlled design was used, which dissociated spatial attention and threat exposure while equating treatment expectancies. One hundred clinically anxious youths were randomized and assessed at pretreatment, midtreatment, posttreatment, and 3-month follow-up. All four groups manifested large reductions in anxiety symptoms; there were no significant between-group differences. Level of change in anxiety symptoms significantly correlated with level of change in youths’ self-rated attention control. Findings did not support the role of either dissociated spatial attention or threat exposure as underlying mechanisms. Implications of the findings are discussed including possible roles of expectations and general attention control in ABM efficacy.
Beyond language translation: crossing the cultural divide (1996)

Working in and designing for other cultures con lead to communication breakdowns. The author explores how this happens and suggests ways that we con use potentially problematic situations to our advantage. Although it is fundamentally difficult to establish successful cross-cultural collaboration, we should not avoid it. On the contrary, we should exploit cross-cultural work opportunities: encountering cultural breakdowns is the best way to widen our perspectives, understand ourselves more deeply, and consequently, be more creative, Finally. if communication breakdowns are unavoidable, why not use them? These breakdowns can be a driving force for coordinating cross-cultural collaboration-whether among people from different nations or different work cultures.
A system level approach to the application of multiuser detection in multibeam satellite systems (2017)

We study the performance of a multibeam satellite system under different frequency reuse schemes. We provide an information theoretical framework to analyze the achievable rates in two beams sharing the same frequency, based on single-user and multiuser detection. We compare two alternative strategies to serve two users in two beams, showing that interesting gains are possible by using multiuser detection and a higher frequency reuse scheme.
Phase Behaviors and Molecular and Supramolecular Structural Identifications of a Liquid Crystalline Second Generation Monodendron (2002)

A second generation monodendron (abbreviated as G2NB) based on the AB2 mesogenic monomer, 13-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-4‘ ‘-p-terphenylyl)tridecane building blocks, exhibits multiple mesophase transformations with varying temperatures. On the basis of thermal transition behaviors studied by differential scanning calorimetry, structural analyses carried out by wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scatterings and electron diffraction experiments, and morphologies observed in polarized light microscope, the equilibrium phase transition sequence and phase structures have been identified. From the glass transition temperature at 28 °C, the most ordered phase is a highly ordered liquid crystalline (LC) smectic B ( ) phase. This phase is defined on the basis of the relationship between the LC mesogenic orientation direction and the layer normal. Within the layers, a molecular lateral hexagonal packing exists. It is followed by a low ordered LC smectic C (SC) phase appeared in a narrow temperature range of ∼2 °C and quickly entered a nematic phase. At a high temperature of 92 °C, G2NB reaches the isotropic melt. An interesting observation is that the layer spacing of these and SC phases are much larger than the chemical repeat unit of the LC monomer; rather, it is a representative of the whole size of the G2NB monodendron. Therefore, the phase is a combined supramolecular layer structure and a lateral molecular hexagonal packing, while the SC phase is a pure supramolecular phase. A surprising finding is that the supramolecular SC phase formation possesses a stronger cooling rate dependence than that of the phase formation. This provides an opportunity to control the appearance of the SC phase formation by only varying the cooling rate. Possible packing structural model and formation mechanisms of this phenomenon are discussed.
A high aspect ratio 2D gimbaled microscanner with large static rotation (2003)

Introduces an isolation method for SOI MEMS technologies, and demonstrates a high aspect ratio 2D gimbaled microscanner with large static rotation using the method. The proposed isolation method, termed backside island process, provides electrical isolation and mechanical coupling of SOI structures through deep reactive ion etching of the backside substrate. The fabricated 2D mirrors perform large static optical deflection from -20.3/spl deg/ to 15.6/spl deg/ by outer gimbal and from 0/spl deg/ to -11.9/spl deg/ by inner mirror.
Human computer interaction paradigm for business process task crowdsourcing (2013)

In conventional systems like the web-based systems, device-based systems, or desktop systems, the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) spectrum encompasses of user interaction methods, interaction modes, user interface design, etc. that strive to facilitate a user to seamlessly and intuitively interact with the system to accomplish his system goals. This spectrum usually considers aspects pertaining to bringing the user to initiate interaction with the system and retaining the user's interest to keep interacting with the system as an outcome of the usability/user experience that a user obtains while interacting with the system. In the context of crowdsourcing, these aspects have individual significance and not completely user experience based. Hence, it is essential to widen the spectrum of HCI for crowdsourcing to embrace these additional aspects explicitly and provide for a comprehensive HCI paradigm for crowdsourcing
First Cycles of the Dual Hydraulic Free Piston Engine (2000)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;A hydraulic free piston engine (HFPE) combines a diesel engine and a hydraulic pump into one compact component. In practical view there is only one linearly moving part in the HFPE, the piston assembly containing three parts, combustion and hydraulic pistons and piston rod. The piston assembly moves during operation linearly back and forth between left and right extremes by means of the fuel energy. Simultaneously hydraulic piston produces directly hydraulic energy. The HFPE enables higher power density and lower manufacturing costs than a conventional engine-pump combination. These are consequence of simpler design.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This paper presents experimental results of Dual Hydraulic Free Piston Engine. The presented results contain measured data from a running engine and analysis based on the results of the operation. The handled results include piston motion, pumping and combustion processes. Shown results are unique, because such results have not been presented before.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The measurement showed that the dual hydraulic free piston engine is working in practice. The performance of the prototype does not reach the required values but still the engine performance in the initial test was satisfying.&lt;/div&gt;
Quantum‐chemical investigation of Buckminsterfullerene and related carbon clusters (I): The electronic structure and UV spectra of Buckminsterfullerene, and other C60 cages (1990)

Abstract The electronic structure of C 60 cages are examined by use of the INDO and INDO / CI methods. The calculated spectrum of Buckminsterfullerene has one allowed low‐lying band at 27,300 cm −1 , to be compared with an experimental value of 25,900 cm −1 . These calculations suggest that other cage structures are not stable, or they are not ground state singlets.
CDK4/6 and PDGFRA Signaling as Therapeutic Targets in Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (2018)

Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) are incurable childhood brain tumors, whereby the standard of care is focal radiation, a treatment that provides temporary relief for most patients. Surprisingly, decades of clinical trials have failed to identify additional therapies that can prolong survival in this disease. In this conference manuscript, we discuss how genetic engineered mouse modeling techniques with the use of a retroviral gene delivery system can help dissect the complex pathophysiology of this disease. With this approach, autochthonous murine DIPG models can be readily induced to (1) help interrogate the function of novel genetic alterations in tumorigenesis, (2) identify candidate cells of origin for this disease, (3) address how region-specific differences in the central nervous system influence the process of gliomagenesis, and (4) evaluate novel therapeutics in an immunocompetent model.
Nickel-molybdenum nitride nanoplate electrocatalysts for concurrent electrolytic hydrogen and formate productions (2019)

Hydrogen production by electrocatalytic water splitting is an efficient and economical technology, however, is severely impeded by the kinetic-sluggish and low value-added anodic oxygen evolution reaction. Here we report the nickel-molybdenum-nitride nanoplates loaded on carbon fiber cloth (Ni-Mo-N/CFC), for the concurrent electrolytic productions of high-purity hydrogen at the cathode and value-added formate at the anode in low-cost alkaline glycerol solutions. Especially, when equipped with Ni-Mo-N/CFC at both anode and cathode, the established electrolyzer requires as low as 1.36 V of cell voltage to achieve 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup>, which is 260 mV lower than that in alkaline aqueous solution. Moreover, high Faraday efficiencies of 99.7% for H<sub>2</sub> evolution and 95.0% for formate production have been obtained. Based on the excellent electrochemical performances of Ni-Mo-N/CFC, electrolytic H<sub>2</sub> and formate productions from the alkaline glycerol solutions are an energy-efficient and promising technology for the renewable and clean energy supply in the future.
Reciprocal Interaction of Sleep and Synaptic Plasticity (2003)

Synaptic plasticity underlying learning and memory has been proposed, on the basis of several experimental approaches, to be intimately related with sleep: 1) The idea that sleep contributes to stabilization of acquired memory arises from numerous studies depriving subjects or animals of sleep. 2) Evidence from developing technologies supports "offline" reprocessing of recent experiences during sleep. 3) Recent analysis of the thalamocortical system establishes the reciprocal observation that sleep itself is a plastic process affected by waking experience. This overview synthesizes these converging perspectives across a variety of brain regions and species. We propose the developing visual pathway as a fruitful model for comprehensive understanding of sleep and synaptic plasticity.

The Potential Role of Transforming Growth Factor Beta in Fracture Healing (1998)

As shown in previous studies, the transforming growth factor beta superfamily of growth factors is involved in many aspects of skeletal development and regulation, including fracture repair and bone regeneration. Several studies have shown transforming growth factor beta messenger ribonucleicacid and protein expression in cells comprising fracture callus. In healing fractures in a chick model, differential isoform expression of the transforming growth factor betas was observed by in situ hybridization, with more prominent expression of the transforming growth factor beta 2 and transforming growth factor beta 3 isoforms. Small amounts of transforming growth factor beta 1 were present in early callus and increased in expression later during chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification. These findings resemble those reported in rat and human fracture callus. Transforming growth factor beta 4 expression was not significant in the chick fracture model. Transforming growth factor beta can function as a morphogen when injected subperiosteally, inducing cartilage and bone formation that morphologically resembles many of the events occurring in fracture callus. Exogenous transforming growth factor beta has been used in several critical size defect models of bone regeneration and fracture healing, with most of the studies showing increased bone or callus formation and increased mechanical stability. Numerous variables, including markedly different dose ranges and differing isoforms, dosing regimens, delivery methods, animal models, and various times and endpoint measures for analysis, make it difficult to comparatively assess the effects of transforming growth factor beta on bone healing. Additional study is necessary to satisfactorily determine the role of transforming growth factor beta in normal fracture healing and its potential for use in augmenting this process.
Combining Planning and Learning of Behavior Trees for Robotic Assembly (2022)

Industrial robots can solve tasks in controlled environments, but modern applications require robots able to operate also in unpredictable surroundings. An increasingly popular reactive policy architecture in robotics is Behavior Trees (BTs) but as other architectures, programming time drives cost and limits flexibility. The two main branches of algorithms to generate policies automatically, automated planning and machine learning, both have their own drawbacks and have not previously been combined for generation of BTs. We propose a method for creating BTs by combining these branches, inserting the result of an automated planner into the population of a Genetic Programming algorithm. Experiments confirm that the proposed method performs well on a variety of robotic assembly problems and outperforms the base methods used separately. We also show that this high level learning of Behavior Trees can be transferred to a real system without further training.
Engineering the artificial pancreas (2014)

The development of control systems for medical applications poses particular challenges, distinct from the applications in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering. Physiological systems involve a myriad of networked subsystems, with multiple feedforward and feedback loops, and interactions at many levels. There is both interpatient dynamic variability as well as intrapatient variability. Real-time measurement of key physiological variables is often not possible. Quantifying clinical objectives is another challenge, as medical metrics do not easily translate into the mathematical performance measures common in control systems theory. In this talk, I will focus on the challenges of biomedical control for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), a chronic autoimmune disease affecting approximately 35 million individuals world-wide, with associated annual healthcare costs in the US estimated to be approximately $15 billion. Current treatment requires either multiple daily insulin injections or continuous subcutaneous (SC) insulin infusion (CSII) delivered via an insulin infusion pump. Both treatment modes necessitate frequent blood glucose measurements to determine the daily insulin requirements for maintaining near-normal blood glucose levels.

Whole Transcriptome of the Venom Gland from Urodacus yaschenkoi Scorpion (2015)

Australian scorpion venoms have been poorly studied, probably because they do not pose an evident threat to humans. In addition, the continent has other medically important venomous animals capable of causing serious health problems. Urodacus yaschenkoi belongs to the most widely distributed family of Australian scorpions (Urodacidae) and it is found all over the continent, making it a useful model system for studying venom composition and evolution. This communication reports the whole set of mRNA transcripts produced by the venom gland. U. yaschenkoi venom is as complex as its overseas counterparts. These transcripts certainly code for several components similar to known scorpion venom components, such as: alpha-KTxs, beta-KTxs, calcins, protease inhibitors, antimicrobial peptides, sodium-channel toxins, toxin-like peptides, allergens, La1-like, hyaluronidases, ribosomal proteins, proteasome components and proteins related to cellular processes. A comparison with the venom gland transcriptome of Centruroides noxius (Buthidae) showed that these two scorpions have similar components related to biological processes, although important differences occur among the venom toxins. In contrast, a comparison with sequences reported for Urodacus manicatus revealed that these two Urodacidae species possess the same subfamily of scorpion toxins. A comparison with sequences of an U. yaschenkoi cDNA library previously reported by our group showed that both techniques are reliable for the description of the venom components, but the whole transcriptome generated with Next Generation Sequencing platform provides sequences of all transcripts expressed. Several of which were identified in the proteome, but many more transcripts were identified including uncommon transcripts. The information reported here constitutes a reference for non-Buthidae scorpion venoms, providing a comprehensive view of genes that are involved in venom production. Further, this work identifies new putative bioactive compounds that could be used to seed research into new pharmacological compounds and increase our understanding of the function of different ion channels.
Potential Solution Processible Phosphorescent Iridium Complexes toward Applications in Doped Light-Emitting Diodes:  Rapid Syntheses and Optical and Morphological Characterizations (2006)

A series of carbazol-9-yl end-capped red-emitting heteroleptic iridium complexes was readily synthesized using post Suzuki coupling. The appealing solubility, photoluminescent characteristics, and morphological stability enabled the current heteroleptic iridium complexes to be highly desirable phosphorescent dopant emitters in doped light-emitting diodes for the purpose of resisting molecular aggregations in the doped emitting layers.
Alzheimer's disease biomarker discovery using SOMAscan multiplexed protein technology (2014)

Blood proteins and their complexes have become the focus of a great deal of interest in the context of their potential as biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used a SOMAscan assay for quantifying 1001 proteins in blood samples from 331 AD, 211 controls, and 149 mild cognitive impaired (MCI) subjects. The strongest associations of protein levels with AD outcomes were prostate-specific antigen complexed to α1-antichymotrypsin (AD diagnosis), pancreatic prohormone (AD diagnosis, left entorhinal cortex atrophy, and left hippocampus atrophy), clusterin (rate of cognitive decline), and fetuin B (left entorhinal atrophy). Multivariate analysis found that a subset of 13 proteins predicted AD with an accuracy of area under the curve of 0.70. Our replication of previous findings provides further evidence that levels of these proteins in plasma are truly associated with AD. The newly identified proteins could be potential biomarkers and are worthy of further investigation.
