CTH08-5: Efficient Encoding and Termination of Low-Density Parity-Check Convolutional Codes (2006)

Low-density parity-check convolutional codes (LDPC-CCs) have been shown to have similar capacity-approaching performance to LDPC block codes. Their encoder structure is simple and efficient. However, the encoder termination, which is required when applied to finite length data frames, increases the encoder complexity and reduces the effective code rate. The LDPC-CC encoding and termination problems are discussed in this paper. A novel all-phase termination scheme is proposed with less implementation complexity and less loss in code rate, compared to existing methods. Finally a system architecture for the LDPC-CC encoder with all-phase termination is given with some analyses.
A Convenient Synthesis of 3-Deoxy-D-gluco-2-octulosonate (D-gluco-KDO) (1986)

Abstract β-Lithiated acrylates have proven to be versatile pyruvate β-carbanion equivalents which are also useful in D-manno-KDO synthesis. The secondary amine adducts of acetylenedicarboxylate 4 display the same versatility, as demonstrated in this paper. However, on reaction with 2,3:4, 5-di-O-isopropylidene-D-arabinose 6, the diastereofacial selectivity is in favor of the gluco-isomer, thus leading with lithiated compounds 4A, preferentially to α-aminobutenolides 7-(g). The best results were obtained with the morpholine adduct of di-tert.-butyl acetylenedicarboxylate 4d which afforded the gluco-isomer 7d-(g) as an easily separable crystalline material. Its deamination and concomitant deisopropylidenation with trifluoroacetic acid provided the known α-hydroxy-butenolide 8b-(g), which was transformed via decarboxylation product 9-(g) to D-gluco-KDO 10-(g) thus concluding a convert four step synthesis of this compound via crystalline intermediates.

Computerized colposcopy and conservative management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in pregnancy (1995)

The ability to sequentially monitor and quantify colposcopically visualized lesions, using computerized colposcopy, provides a noninvasive objective mode to evaluate progression, stability, or regression of CIN lesions during pregnancy.
Caval collapse during cardiopulmonary bypass: a reproducible bench model (2014)

This caval model provides a realistic picture for the limitations of flow due to spontaneously reversible atrial chatter vs irreversible venous collapse for a given negative pressure during CPB. Temporary interruption of negative pressure in the venous line can allow for recovery of venous drainage. This know-how can be used not only for testing different cannula designs, but also for further optimizing perfusion strategies.
AlGaN/GaN current aperture vertical electron transistors (2003)

Describes AlGaN/GaN current aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET) structures. A CAVET consists of a source region separated from a drain region by an insulating layer containing a narrow aperture which is filled with conducting material. A device mesa is formed by reactive ion etching, and source contacts are deposited on either side of the aperture. The drain metal contacts the n-doped region below the aperture. Electrons flow from the source contacts through the aperture into the n-type base region and are collected at the drain. A Schottky gate, located directly above the aperture, is used to modulate the current passing through the aperture. In a CAVET, because the virtual drain (or pinched off region) is located underneath the gate, charge does not accumulate at the gate edge, so no large fields near the gate edge are present. Instead, our simulations show that the high field region in a CAVET is buried in the bulk. The CAVET therefore has the potential to support large source-drain voltages, since surface related breakdown is eliminated.
A Fractional-N Bang-Bang PLL Based on Type-II Gear Shifting and Adaptive Frequency Switching Achieving 68.6 fs-rms-Total-Integrated-Jitter and 1.56 μs-Locking-Time (2022)

This work presents a fast-locking and low-jitter fractional- <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${N}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> bang-bang phase-locked loop (BBPLL). To break the trade-off between jitter and locking time which is typical of BBPLLs, two novel techniques are introduced. A gear-shift technique, denoted as type-II gear-shift, avoids limit cycles in the phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency transient and optimizes the locking time of the main PLL loop. The adaptive frequency switching (AFS) technique reduces the PLL frequency error upon channel switching exploiting the already existing hardware. The prototype, implemented in a 28-nm CMOS process, has an active area of 0.23 mm2 and achieves a locking time always below 1.56 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{s}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> (within 80 ppm accuracy) for frequency jumps up to 1.5 GHz over the 8.5–10 GHz tuning range.

A-site compositional effects in Ga-doped hollandite materials of the form BaxCsyGa2x+yTi8−2x−yO16: implications for Cs immobilization in crystalline ceramic waste forms (2016)

The hollandite structure is a promising crystalline host for Cs immobilization. A series of Ga-doped hollandite BaxCsyGa2x+yTi8-2x-yO16 (x = 0, 0.667, 1.04, 1.33; y = 1.33, 0.667, 0.24, 0) was synthesized through a solid oxide reaction method resulting in a tetragonal hollandite structure (space group I4/m). The lattice parameter associated with the tunnel dimension was found to increases as Cs substitution in the tunnel increased. A direct investigation of cation mobility in tunnels using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted to evaluate the ability of the hollandite structure to immobilize cations over a wide compositional range. Hollandite with the largest tunnel size and highest aspect ratio grain morphology resulting in rod-like microstructural features exhibited the highest ionic conductivity. The results indicate that grain size and optimized Cs stoichiometry control cation motion and by extension, the propensity for Cs release from hollandite.
Short‐Term Effects of Gastric Bypass Surgery on Circulating Ghrelin Levels (2004)

This study showed that the adaptive response of ghrelin to body weight loss was already impaired 6 weeks after RYGBP. Our study provides circumstantial evidence for the potential role of ghrelin in the negative energy balance in RYGBP-operated patients.
Provisioning services on digital switching systems (1990)

The overall service provisioning process is functionally decomposed into three phases. The first is service negotiation, in which the customer's request is translated into machine-readable form (as a service order). The service order is the input to the second phase, assignment. If network resources are needed to satisfy the service request, the assignment process selects then from its inventory. The third phase is service activation. Attention is focused on the assignment phase, but emerging relationships among the three phases are also covered. The discussion begins with progress to date. Capabilities that have recently become available in Bellcore's operations systems using the flexible entity approach, are described. Issues and problems that arise as the switched network evolves to a greater degree of intelligence are considered, covering provisioning for ISDN, load balancing, service negotiation and assignment, customers doing their own provisioning, and physical and logical provisioning.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Synthesis of a Linked [1]–[1]Rotaxane (2009)

Abstract Highly organic soluble [1]–[1]rotaxane also known as linked [3]rotaxane was synthesized by intramolecular self-inclusion of a modified permethylated α-cyclodextrin (PM α-CD) to form a pseudo[1]rotaxane followed by dimerization. The NMR spectroscopy of thus formed rotaxane suggests that the diphenylacetylene units are fully encapsulated by the PM α-CDs. The Stern–Volmer analysis of fluorescence quenching using a viologen analogue shows that the PM α-CDs inhibits electron transfer efficiently suggesting a high coverage ratio of the π-conjugated axle with the PM α-CDs.
Customizable, engineered substrates for rapid screening of cellular cues (2019)

Abstract Biophysical cues robustly direct cell responses and are thus important tools for in vitro and translational biomedical applications. High throughput platforms exploring substrates with varying physical properties are therefore valuable, however, currently existing platforms are limited in throughput, the biomaterials used, the capability to segregate between different cues and the assessment of dynamic cellular responses. Here we present a multiwell array (3×8) using a substrate engineered with patterns that present topography or rigidity cues welded to a bottomless plate with a 96-well format. Both the patterns on the engineered substrate and the well plate format can be easily customized, permitting systematic and efficient screening of biophysical cues. Here, we demonstrate three multiwell arrays patterned with a variety of topographical and mechanical cues (nano-grooves, soft pillars and nano pillars) tested with three different cell types. Using the multiwell array, we were able to measure cell functionality using analytical modalities such as live microscopy, qPCR and fluorescent immunochemistry. Cardiomyocytes cultured on 5µm grooves showed less variation in electrophysiology and contractile function. Nanopillars with 127 nm height, 100 nm diameter and 300 nm pitch showed improved chondrogenic maintenance from matrix deposition and chondrogenic gene expression. High aspect ratio pillars with an elastic shear modulus of 16 kPa mimicking the cortical bone altered cell adhesion, morphology, and increased expression of osteogenic genes. We have demonstrated the bespoke, controlled and high-throughput properties of the multiwell array that are currently unparalleled in the field today.
How Plants Cope with Cadmium: Staking All on Metabolism and Gene Expression (2008)

Environmental pollution is one of the major problems for human health. Toxic heavy metals are normally present as soil constituents or can also be spread out in the environment by human activity and agricultural techniques. Soil contamination by heavy metals as cadmium, highlights two main aspects: on one side they interfere with the life cycle of plants and therefore reduce crop yields, and on the other hand, once adsorbed and accumulated into the plant tissues, they enter the food chain poisoning animals and humans. Considering this point of view, understanding the mechanism by which plants handle heavy metal exposure, in particular cadmium stress, is a primary goal of plant-biotechnology research or plant breeders whose aim is to create plants that are able to recover high amounts of heavy metals, which can be used for phytoremediation, or identify crop varieties that do not accumulate toxic metal in grains or fruits. In this review we focus on the main symptoms of cadmium toxicity both on root apparatus and shoots. We elucidate the mechanisms that plants activate to prevent absorption or to detoxify toxic metal ions, such as synthesis of phytochelatins, metallothioneins and enzymes involved in stress response. Finally we consider new plant-biotechnology applications that can be applied for phytoremediation.

Protein n, a primosomal DNA replication protein of Escherichia coli. Purification and characterization. (1982)

Protein n, essential in forming the primosome for the in vitro conversion of phi X174 single-stranded (SS) DNA to the duplex replicative form (RF), has been purified about 5000-fold to near homogeneity from Escherichia coli. Protein n is heat- and acid-resistant and N-ethyl-maleimide-sensitive. It appears to be a dimer of 12,000 (+/- 2000)-dalton polypeptides. About 80 molecules of protein n are present/cell. Protein n binding to phi X SS DNA depends on the presence of single-strand binding protein (SSB). This requirement for SSB reflects a direct interaction of protein n and SSB. About 30 protein n monomers can be bound to an SSB-coated circle. However, in forming the primosome on an SSB-coated phi X circle, an input of only 2-3 protein n monomers is required and 1 monomer bound/circle. Retention of this low level of protein n on SSB-coated phi X SS DNA is dependent upon protein n', a DNA-dependent ATPase (dATPase) that guides primosome assembly. This single protein n monomer is retained in the assembled primosome, which is conserved on the completed parental RF and participates in the next stage of the replicative cycle, production of progeny RF.
Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Clay-poly(norbornene) Nanocomposites from Ruthenium Alkylidene-mediated Surface-initiated Polymerization (2016)

In this work, the mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposite films prepared from the surface-initiated polymerization of norbornene mediated by a surface-bound ruthenium alkylidine catalyst were investigated. Thermal gravimetric and dynamic mechanical analyses revealed enhanced properties of the resulting nanocomposite films over that of the unfilled polymer.
Complexation and Molecular Speciation in the Silica Sol−Gel Process Characterized by Electrospray Ionization Fourier Transform Ion-Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (2001)

The sol−gel reactions of tetraethyl orthosilicate have previously been characterized by various instrumental methods, each revealing different aspects of the reactions that eventually form glass, SiO2. In this paper, we use electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion-cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) to characterize the hydrolysis and condensation intermediates based on alkali and transition metal ion attachment to ionize the intermediates. Sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate and nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate were added to solutions containing tetraethyl orthosilicate, electrosprayed, and the resulting species observed. Sodium ion binds nonspecifically to silicates, whereas nickel produces a tris-tetraethyl orthosilicate nickel(II) complex. Sodium-bound dimers were also observed; they could be dissociated without damage to the silicate backbone by infrared multiphoton dissociation. It is thus possible to observe all of the hydrolysis products (OH exchanged for OCH2CH3) for a given silicate oligomer as well as different silicate oligomers.

AphA and LuxR/HapR reciprocally control quorum sensing in vibrios (2011)

Bacteria cycle between periods when they perform individual behaviors and periods when they perform group behaviors. These transitions are controlled by a cell-cell communication process called quorum sensing, in which extracellular signal molecules, called autoinducers (AIs), are released, accumulate, and are synchronously detected by a group of bacteria. AI detection results in community-wide changes in gene expression, enabling bacteria to collectively execute behaviors such as bioluminescence, biofilm formation, and virulence factor production. In this study, we show that the transcription factor AphA is a master regulator of quorum sensing that operates at low cell density (LCD) in Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio cholerae. In contrast, LuxR (V. harveyi)/HapR (V. cholerae) is the master regulator that operates at high cell density (HCD). At LCD, redundant small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs) activate production of AphA, and AphA and the sRNAs repress production of LuxR/HapR. Conversely, at HCD, LuxR/HapR represses aphA. This network architecture ensures maximal AphA production at LCD and maximal LuxR/HapR production at HCD. Microarray analyses reveal that 300 genes are regulated by AphA at LCD in V. harveyi, a subset of which is also controlled by LuxR. We propose that reciprocal gradients of AphA and LuxR/HapR establish the quorum-sensing LCD and HCD gene expression patterns, respectively.
Briquetting of Metal Chips by Controlled Impact: Experimental Study (2014)

For briquetting of metal chips are used hydraulic and mechanical presses. The density of the briquettes in this case is about 60% - 70 % on the density of solid metal. In this work are presented the results of experimental studies for briquetting of metal chips, by using a new technology for impact briquetting. The used chips are by Armco iron, steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum and brass. It has been found that: (i) in a controlled impact the density of the briquettes can be increases up to 30%; (ii) at the same specific impact energy Es (J/sm3) the density of the briquettes increases with increasing of the impact velocity; (iii), realization of the repeated impact leads to decrease of chips density, which can be explained by distribution of elastic waves in the briquette.
THE GENETICS OF DOPA DECARBOXYLASE IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER I. ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DEFICIENCIES THAT DELETE THE DOPA-DECARBOXYLASE-DOSAGE-SENSITIVE REGION AND THE α-METHYL-DOPA-HYPERSENSITIVE LOCUS (1976)

A detailed cytogenetic investigation of 16 overlapping deficiencies in the 36C-40A region on the left arm of the second chromosome (2L) in Drosophila melanogaster is reported. These deficiencies permit a localization of both the dopa-decarboxylase-dosage-sensitive region and the alpha-methyl-dopa-hypersensitive locus, l(2) amd, to the same region, 37B10-37C7.
Online Signature Recognition (2005)

Security is one of the major issues in today’s world and most of us have to deal with some sort of passwords in our daily lives; but, these passwords have some problems of their own. If one picks an easy-to-remember password, then it is most likely that somebody else may guess it. On the other hand, if one chooses too difficult a password, then he or she may have to write it somewhere (to avoid inconveniences due to forgotten passwords) which may again lead to security breaches. To prevent passwords being hacked, users are usually advised to keep changing their passwords frequently and are also asked not to keep them too trivial at the same time. All these inconveniences led to the birth of the biometric field. The verification of handwritten signature, which is a behavioral biometric, can be classified into off-line and online signature verification methods. Online signature verification, in general, gives a higher verification rate than off-line verification methods, because of its use of both static and dynamic features of the problem space in contrast to off-line which uses only the static features. Despite greater accuracy, online signature recognition is not that prevalent in comparison to other biometrics. The primary reasons are: • It cannot be used everywhere, especially where signatures have to be written in ink; e.g. on cheques, only off-line methods will work. • Unlike off-line verification methods, online methods require some extra and special hardware, e.g. electronic tablets, pressure sensitive signature pads, etc. For off-line verification method, on the other hand, we can do the data acquisition with optical scanners. • The hardware for online are expensive and have a fixed and short life cycle.
Dietary arginine uptake by the splanchnic region in adult humans (1993)

To determine the uptake of dietary arginine and leucine by the splanchnic region, two experiments were carried out, each involving four healthy young adult men who received a diet supplying 1 g protein.kg-1.day-1 for 7 and 10 days before conducting a primed constant tracer infusion protocol. In study 1, subjects received for 8 h (3-h fast; 5-h fed state, achieved by a constant intragastric infusion of the diet formula) L-[5,5-2H2; guanidino-15N2]arginine ([M4]Arg), L-[guanidino-13C]arginine ([13C]Arg), and L-[5,5,5-2H3]leucine ([2H3]Leu) simultaneously by an intragastric infusion on day 7 and a repeat of this protocol on day 10 except with tracer administration given by vein. Plasma arginine fluxes were essentially the same for the two arginine tracers but differed significantly with route of administration. In study 2 the subjects received on day 7 a constant intravenous infusion of [13C]Arg and [2H3]Leu and a simultaneous intragastric infusion of [M4]Arg and [1-13C]leucine. On day 10 the routes of administration of these tracer pairs were reversed. During the fed state in study 1, splanchnic uptake of dietary arginine was 31 +/- 10 and 34 +/- 8%, based on the [13C]Arg and [M4]Arg tracers, respectively, and it was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than for leucine, which was 10 +/- 6%. In study 2, splanchnic uptake of dietary arginine, estimated from a series of tracer-protocol combinations for the fed state, was approximately 38% compared with a lower (P < 0.01) value of approximately 15% for leucine.
