The 3-Dimensional Wireless Sensor Network Coverage Problem (2006)

The rapid development of wireless technologies and embedded sensing devices has made it possible for people to monitor, control and interact with the physical world via wireless sensor networks. While holding promise in a wide variety of applications, sensor networks are driven by extremely limited energy resources. This necessitates the energy aware design and operation of the sensor network. One of the fundamental issues in sensor networks is the coverage problem. In this paper, contrary to existing techniques, the coverage problem in a three dimensional space is rigorously analyzed. Given a distribution of sensor nodes, a new distributed algorithm to choose a subset of working nodes for full coverage is derived. A computationally efficient algorithm to check for complete coverage is also proposed
Inhibition of high glucose‐induced inflammatory response and macrophage infiltration by a novel curcumin derivative prevents renal injury in diabetic rats (2012)

The anti-inflammatory effects of C66 are mediated by inhibiting HG-induced activation of the JNK/NF-κB pathway, rather than by reducing blood glucose in diabetic rats. This novel compound is a potential anti-inflammatory agent and might be beneficial for the prevention of diabetic nephropathy.
Head and Neck Melanoma in the Sentinel Lymph Node Era (2007)

Most patients with HNM are older males with more SLNs harvested. They do not seem to have poorer outcome than patients with OMS.
Nuclear DNA and endocrine activity in carcinomas of the breast (1984)

In a running study of nuclear DNA profiles of female breast carcinomas, 60 consecutive tumors were collected and stained with the Grimelius argyrophil reaction for the identification of endocrine tumor cells. Four (6.7%) tumors were argyrophilic, and they all displayed diploid nuclear DNA values. The argyrophil tumors constituted 20% of the diploid breast carcinomas. One of the tumors was examined electron microscopically and exhibited an abundance of intracytoplasmatic granules of neurohormonal type. In none of the four carcinomas could the endocrine activity be inferred from the morphologic appearance alone, since all could be grouped in regular histopathologic terms. Since the frequency of endocrine cells in unselected materials of breast adenocarcinomas is very low, a relationship exists between diploid nuclear DNA values and with neurohormonal production in these tumors.
An ultrahigh resolution FBG dynamic strain sensing system with eigenvector spectrum analysis method (2009)

An in-fiber Bragg grating (FBG) dynamic strain sensing system based on a fiber ring laser configuration and the Eigenvector spectrum analysis method, is proposed and demonstrated. An ultrahigh dynamic strain resolution of 5x10<sup>-5</sup> n&epsilon; /Hz<sup>1/2</sup> is achieved due to both the use of the supper white-noise suppression ability of the advanced spectrum analysis method and the high optical signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (~65dB) of the sensing signal generated by the fiber ring laser scheme. This is the highest dynamic strain resolution achieved so far for a single FBG sensor at frequency of &lt;100Hz, to the best of our knowledge.
The Doppler Stethoscope in the Diagnosis of Subclinical Varicocele (1980)

Fifty-six patients (112 testicular cords) were examined using the Doppler stethoscope. Venous reflux was detected in all patients with a clinically obvious varicocele and in 77% of patients where a varicocele was suspected but not clinically demonstrated. The incidence of bilateral varicoceles was 21%. The Doppler stethoscope showed that 20% of patients continued to have venous reflux post-operatively. It is concluded that the Doppler stethoscope is a useful instrument in the diagnosis of clinical varicoceles and in the assessment of post-operative results.

A volume can focus on a single molecule or on a disease that is related to vitamins or hormones. A hormone is interpreted broadly so that related substances, such as transmitters, cytokines, growth factors and others can be reviewed. This volume focuses on Bone Morphogenic Protein
Sperm Infertility Caused by Experimental Testicular Autoimmunity in the Nile Tilapia. (1993)

Autoimmune responses against testis material were induced in mature male Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, by injecting allogeneic testis homogenate emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant. Some immunized males decreased their fertility 4 to 8 weeks after the first injection. Sperm motility of these fish decreased markedly. Ultrastructural observations of the testis and proerties of spermatozoa in immunized fish suggested that this reduction was mainly caused by agglutination of spermatozoa by means of anti-sperm autoantibody penetrating the seminal lobules. Eight weeks after injection, globate structures, which seemed to originate from unabsorbed FCA component, occurred throughout the testicular tissue of some fish, possibly resulting in an obstruction of a normal flow of milt in the testis and a failure of milt discharge in immunized fish.
A Highly Sensitive, Excimer‐Controlled Molecular Beacon (2010)

Non-nucleosidic chromophores in the stem of a molecular beacon inhibit excimer fluorescence through the formation of a donor–acceptor complex (see picture). The excellent reduction of the background fluorescence allows the detection of DNA and RNA targets in the presence of a significant excess of the probe.

A New Tracheostomy Tube (1981)

Recent publications show that severe damage to the trachea is still a problem with high-volume, low-pressure cuffs. The NL tracheostomy tube was used in 86 patients for 3 days to 2 months (mean 16 days). This tube has a high-volume, low-pressure cuff with automatic regulation of the cuff pressure at 3 kPa. The tube has a flexible tip. Fiberoptic examination at extubation showed minimal damage to the tracheal mucosa: 33 patients had normal mucosa and the rest had hyperaemia and/or fibrin formation. Four patients had ulcerations from suction catheters and four patients had small, superficial ulcerations produced by the tip of the tube. Of these last four patients, three had skin flaps that exerted pressure on the tube. Severe tracheal damage was prevented due to the combination of automatic regulation of cuff pressure and a flexible tip of the tube.
Three Dimensional Panoramic Fast Flourescence Imaging of Cardiac Arryhtymias in the Rabbit Heart (2006)

Cardiac high spatio-temporal optical mapping provides a unique opportunity to investigate the dynamics of propagating waves of excitation during ventricular arrhythmia and defibrillation. However, studies using single camera imaging systems are hampered by the inability to monitor electrical activity from the entire surface of the heart. We have developed a three dimensional panoramic imaging system which allows high-resolution and high-dynamic-range optical mapping from the entire surface of the heart. Rabbit hearts (n=4) were Langendorff perfused and imaged by the system during sinus rhythm, epicardial pacing, and arrhythmias. The reconstructed 3D electrical activity provides us with a powerful tool to investigate fundamental mechanisms of arrhythmia and antiarrhythmia therapy in normal and diseased hearts.
BLADDER DIVERTICULUM IN THE MALE (1968)

SUMMARY A review of the clinical features, complications, and treatment of 285 maie patients with bladder diverticulum seen at the Mayo Clinic during a 10‐year period is presented. In 19 patients (7 per cent.), malignant changes within the diverticulum had occurred. In 25 of the 31 patients in whom elective diverticulectomy was done for non‐malignant complications, the specimen showed evidence of premalignant changes. Based on these findings, together with a critical appraisal of the mortality and morbidity of elective diverticulectomy in our own experience and in reported series, prophylactic excision of bladder diverticula is recommended as the therapy of choice.
Subchronic administration of short-acting naltrexone has no effect on striatal dopamine transporter availability, food intake or body weight gain in rats (2015)

The opioid receptor antagonist naltrexone is successfully used in the treatment of opioid and alcohol dependence. However, questions have been raised about possible anhedonic side effects, because the opioid system is directly involved in hedonic responses to natural rewarding activities, possibly due to its indirect effects on the striatal dopamine transporter (DAT). In order to test this hypothesis, 30 rats were randomized to either a 10-day treatment with 3 mg/kg short-acting naltrexone or vehicle. No significant differences between the groups were found in striatal DAT availability, cumulative food intake (for 48 or 72 h), body weight gain and abdominal fatpad weight. Thus, the results of this study suggest that (sub)chronic treatment with short-acting naltrexone does not induce possible anhedonic effects. However, it cannot be ruled out the anhedonic effect of naltrexone is only short-lived and thus not detected in the current study. Therefore, future studies are needed to study possible acute anhedonic effects at several time points shortly after short-acting naltrexone administration and to directly compare the possible anhedonic effects of long-acting with those of short-acting opioid antagonists.
<title>Display of high-frequency tactile information to teleoperators</title> (1993)

In this paper we examine the role of high-frequency vibrations in the performance of a task in which subjects had to alternately tap in between two strips without applying excessive forces. We conducted three different experiments. In the first two experiments, subjects performed the task using two different actuated styli: a lightweight stylus and a massive stylus. In the first experiment, subjects performed the task using the lightweight stylus with and without masking (provided by continuous actuation of the solenoid). The number of successful taps decreased by a factor of 6.0 when the subjects used the stylus with masking. In the second experiment the massive stylus was used in two different modes. In one mode the solenoid was not actuated and in the second mode, the display mode, the solenoid produced a burst of vibrations when triggered by an electrical switch that closed when the stylus was in contact with the target strips. The performance of the subjects increased by a factor of 1.6 when they used the stylus with the display. These results indicate that people use high-frequency information during manipulation tasks and that a high-frequency display can be used to convey this information.
Extended static checking for Java (2002)

Software development and maintenance are costly endeavors. The cost can be reduced if more software defects are detected earlier in the development cycle. This paper introduces the Extended Static Checker for Java (ESC/Java), an experimental compile-time program checker that finds common programming errors. The checker is powered by verification-condition generation and automatic theorem-proving techniques. It provides programmers with a simple annotation language with which programmer design decisions can be expressed formally. ESC/Java examines the annotated software and warns of inconsistencies between the design decisions recorded in the annotations and the actual code, and also warns of potential runtime errors in the code. This paper gives an overview of the checker architecture and annotation language and describes our experience applying the checker to tens of thousands of lines of Java programs.
High power LPP EUV source system development status (2009)

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology has been recognized as the major lithography technology for 22 nm HP and beyond to fulfill Moore's Law, which predicts that circuit dimensions shrink 70% every 2~3 years in order to achieve cost down and obtain greater functionality per unit area. EUV source power is one of the key factors in determining the cost-effectiveness of EUVL compared to other lithography technologies, like double patterning. Only when EUV power can achieve a certain level, the cost of EUV lithography under high volume manufacturing (HVM) can become much more competitive than that of double patterning techniques. In this paper, the performance of the first production Cymer high power laser produced plasma (LPP) EUV source integrated with a 5 sr multi-layer mirror (MLM) collector and fully integrated debris mitigation will be shown. The latest results on power generation, stable and efficient collection, and clean transmission of EUV light through the intermediate focus will be presented. The lifetime of the MLM collector is a critical parameter in the development of extreme ultraviolet LPP lithography sources. Debris mitigation techniques are used to inhibit reflectivity degradation from deposition of target material, sputtering of the multilayer coating, and implantation of incident particles, which can reduce the efficiency of the MLM collector during exposure. The far field images of MLM collector are recorded by intermediate focus metrology with a CCD camera to determine the reflectivity status of the MLM collector during exposure. The results of these debris mitigation techniques are compared through multiple-hour EUV exposure. Testing shows cleanliness at the source-scanner interface acceptable to the limit of detection.
Interferometric Measurement Of The Roughness Of Machined Parts (1989)

A technique for the measurement of surface roughness using a non-contact optical profiler is presented for the measurement of surfaces having RA&apos;s of up to 2.5 &mu;m (100 &mu;n). The optical profiler uses phase-measurement interferometry to directly measure surface height profiles at a single wavelength of illumination. By utilizing information from surface height measurements made at two different wavelengths, surface profiles with peak-to-valleys of up to 20 gm (800 &mu;n) can be determined. The technique presented is non-destructive, quick, and has an rms repeatability of better than 25 nm (1 &mu;n). Results of measurements made with both linear and area detector arrays on calibrated roughness standards as well as on machined surfaces are presented.
Testing approaches for global optimization of space trajectories (2008)

In this paper, the procedures to test global search algorithms applied to space trajectory design problems are discussed. Furthermore, a number of performance indexes that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the tested algorithms are presented. The performance indexes are then compared and the actual significance of each one of them is highlighted. Three global optimization algorithms are tested on three typical space trajectory design problems.
Issues, Models and Solutions for Triac Modulated Phase Dimming of LED Lamps (2007)

This paper discusses the difficulties in dimming Edison socket LED lamps directly from residential phase modulated dimmer switches. In order to explain these difficulties PSpice models for the dimmers are proposed that necessarily include diac characteristics to improve accuracy. A method to dim the LEDs from the residential dimmers is discussed.

Neutron scattering andab initiomolecular dynamics study of cross-linking in biomedical phosphate glasses (2010)

Details of the microscopic structure of phosphate glasses destined for biomedical applications, which include sodium, magnesium and calcium cations, have been obtained from the static structure factor measured by means of neutron scattering. A complementary, molecular dynamics study has been performed on a range of phosphate glasses using density functional theory methods, which allow structural fluctuations, including bond breaking, in the liquid phase before quenching to the glass phase. Good agreement between experiment and simulation allows the molecular dynamics trajectories to be analysed in detail. In particular, attention is focused on the cross-linking of divalent cations in contrast with the structural aspects associated with monovalent cations. Magnesium cations are found equidistant and bridging between the phosphorus atoms of different phosphate chains, leading to a shorter phosphorus-phosphorus second neighbour distance (that is, a more compact packing of neighbouring phosphate chains) compared to the effect of sodium cations. Calcium cations show behaviour intermediate between those of magnesium and sodium. Molecular dynamics simulations give access to the cation mobility, which is lowest for magnesium, reflecting its structural, cross-linking role.
Exploration of a Bloch wave expansion technique for analyzing backscattering from large fish schools (2014)

Scattering from large fish schools at typical SONAR frequencies (1–10 kHz) can significantly contribute to volume reverberation. An efficient modeling technique, which accounts for fish' spatial configuration and inter-fish multiple scattering effects, is sought to quantify the acoustic scattering from a large fish school. Recent work has exploited the near-periodic nature of the schooling fish to represent the school as an equivalent phononic crystal (PC) composed of air-filled swim bladders periodically arrayed in a water matrix. Using the Bloch theorem applied to infinite media discretized by finite elements, the approach is capable of quickly and accurately generating the band structure and reflection/transmission coefficients for an incident plane wave. In this work, we extend the analysis approach to finite-sized fish schools to quantify the backscattering as a function of incident wave frequency, school geometry, and weak internal disorder. Scattered field predictions are compared against a self-consistent scattering method as well as full-field finite element simulations. For the presented approach, we note fast and scalable computation (with respect to frequency and school size) with very good agreement in predicted scattered pressure fields and the frequencies corresponding to peak target strengths. This work shows promise for predictive SONAR modeling.
Aquatic Access for the Disabled (1992)

Innovations in rehabilitation engineering can now provide aquatic access for the disabled. In the regional burn center, the Bodi-Gard cart shower system (Hospital Therapy Products, Inc., Wood Dale, Ill.) uses three flexible hoses to provide precise hydrotherapy and debridement. Its main mixing valve controls temperature and pressure and is easily disinfected by an in-line chamber. This shower system is complemented by the foldable Bodi-Gard mobile seat shower system (Hospital Therapy Products, Inc.). This system, which is covered by a disposable liner, surrounds the patient with eight water jets that empty into any floor drain. The Bather 2001 (Silcraft Corp., Traverse City, Mich.) is a fiberglass hydrotherapy bathtub with a unique Aqua-Seal door (Silcraft Corp.) that can be raised to provide patient access. Its unique closed-loop disinfection system prevents contamination of its internal components. The Nolan Tublift (Aquatic Access, Louisville, Ky.) is a lightweight, removable lift that uses water power to gently raise and lower its seat. It can be manually swiveled to allow access from a wheelchair. Transfer benches span the tub wall to provide access to the shower and bathtub. Although they are a less expensive alternative to the Tublift, they allow water to spill outside the tub, which may create a slippery bathroom floor. The Nolan Poolift (Guardian Products, Arleta, Calif.) is a water-powered pool lift, which automatically rotates as it descends. It is capable of lifting up to 135 kg with a home water pressure of 55 psi. In contrast, the water-powered Aquatic Access Poolift is a less expensive pool lift, which rotates manually with assistance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Role of disulfide interchange enzyme in immunoglobulin synthesis (1981)

The role of disulfide interchange enzyme in protein biosynthesis was evaluated by studying the enzyme from mouse lymphoid tissue. The enzyme isolated from lymphoid cells was shown to have no tissue-specific characteristics. It was identical with the enzyme synthesized by mouse liver in its biochemical and immunological properties and its capacity to promote both disulfide bond formation and insulin degradation. In contrast to liver, the levels of enzyme in lymphoid tissues were found to vary with immunoglobulin secretory activity, Assays of lymphoid cells and their transformed counterparts showed that the enzyme contents of cells actively secreting immunoglobulin were 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that of unstimulated B cells or non-immunoglobulin-producing T cells. The increase in enzyme levels paralleled the increase in immunoglobulin synthesis after antigen or mitogen stimulation and was independent of the class of immunoglobulin produced. This correlation indicated that the enzyme plays a critical role in the formation of intramonomer bonds common to all immunoglobulin molecules. Supporting data were obtained by assaying the ability of the enzyme to promote the polymerization of mouse pentamer IgM in vitro. The enzyme was found to catalyze the formation of the interchain bonds required for monomer IgM assembly but not the formation of the intermonomer bonds required for pentamer assembly. The sum of these results provides strong evidence that disulfide interchange enzyme functions in the in vivo synthesis protein disulfide bonds.
Photosensitivity locking technique applied to UV written planar Bragg gratings (2003)

A technique is presented for thermally processing deuterium loaded silica-on-silicon samples to provide an enhanced photosensitivity lifetime of at least one year at room temperature. Subsequent simultaneous writing of channel waveguides and Bragg gratings resulted in grating reflections of ∼80% with a FWHM of 0.1 nm.
