Vibration signatures for three positive displacement compressors (2004)

This report presents vibration data for three positive displacement compressors which will be used to evaluate Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) vibration sensors at a later time. The axial, radial and tangential vibration signatures of three compressors were measured under different operating conditions. An open-drive four cylinder compressor's vibration signatures were measured at discharge pressures of 1724 kPa (250 psig) and 2413 kPa (350 psig), with three different drive frequencies. A hermetic scroll compressor's vibration signatures were measured at three drive frequencies with a discharge pressure of 1724 kPa (250 psig), and at one drive frequency with a discharge pressure of 2241 kPa (325 psig). Finally a large, six-cylinder, chiller compressor's vibration signatures were measured with two, four, and six of the cylinders engaged.
Laminated Amorphous Silicon Neutron Detector (pre-print) (2009)

In this study, 24 furcation defects in 12 patients were treated by either (1) a polylactide resorbable membrane (Guidor) plus a polyglactin mesh (Vicryl) and demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA), or (2) a polylactide resorbable membrane and DFDBA. All defects were reentered after 9 months. Class III furcations closed 66% of the time when treated by the first method, while the closure rate was only 33% when treated by the second method (no polyglactin mesh). Defects with a vertical opening of < or = 4 mm closed 74% of the time, while those with vertical openings > 4 mm closed only 11% of the time.
Association of XRCC3 gene rs861539 polymorphism with gastric cancer risk: evidence from a case-control study and a meta-analysis. (2015)

The association between the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) gene Thr241Met polymorphism (rs861539) and gastric cancer has been widely evaluated, but a definitive answer is so far lacking. We first conducted a case-control study to assess this association in a large Han Chinese population, and then performed a meta-analysis to further address this issue. Although our case-control association study and the following meta analysis involving 6,520 subjects indicated null association of XRCC3 gene rs861539 polymorphism between gastric cancer patients and controls under both allelic (odds ratio (OR) = 1.02; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91-1.14; P = 0.739) and dominant (OR = 0.97; 95% CI: 0.78-1.21; P = 0.803) models. Stratified analysis by ethnicity demonstrated a significant association in Asians. We conclude that the XRCC3 gene rs861539 polymorphism was associated with the risk for gastric cancer in Asian populations.
DETFCTION OF ULTRASONIC VIBRATIONS IN SELF-SUPPORTING THIN FILMS YSlNGAl ASFRSPFCTRO MFTFR (1989)

We have used a heterodyne laser spectrometer to detect the vibrations normal to the plane of a metallic self-supporting thin film (of the order of 1 micron thick or thicker) with a sensitivity of the order of 0.01 A. The film is excited by attaching it to an interdigital transducer. By continuously scanning the laser probe across the surface of the film and measuring the amplitude and phase of the vibrations at a fixed frequency, one can accurately determine the propagation vector of the modes excited. This allows us to calculate the sound velocity of the antisymmetric Lamb mode and to deduce either the thickness or the elastic flexural modulus of the film.
PIRO score for community-acquired pneumonia: A new prediction rule for assessment of severity in intensive care unit patients with community-acquired pneumonia* (2009)

The PIRO score performed well as 28-day mortality prediction tool in CAP patients requiring ICU admission with a better performance than APACHE II and ATS/IDSA criteria in this subset of patients. Furthermore, PIRO score also is associated with increased healthcare resource utilization in CAP patients admitted in the ICU.
Medical prototyping using two photon polymerization (2010)

Two photon polymerization involves nearly simultaneous absorption of ultrashort laser pulses for selective curing of photosensitive material. This process has recently been used to create small-scale medical devices out of several classes of photosensitive materials, such as acrylate-based polymers, organically-modified ceramic materials, zirconium sol-gels, and titanium-containing hybrid materials. In this review, the use of two photon polymerization for fabrication of several types of small-scale medical devices, including microneedles, artificial tissues, microfluidic devices, pumps, sensors, and valves, from computer models is described. Necessary steps in the development of two photon polymerization as a commercially viable medical device manufacturing method are also considered.
The Intra-Vascular Stent as a Site-Specific Local Drug Delivery System (2005)

The current review focuses on utilization of a tubular structure (coated or uncoated, balloon expandable or self expanding) known as a “stent” for localized intravascular drug delivery. Emphasis of the review is on technologies currently employed for immobilization and coating for drug onto the stent prior to its placement in various lumen of the body. A brief discussion on stent design, comparison of angioplasty and coronary stenting, and market status complements the review for researchers new to this area.
Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon/Viscose Fiber (2015)

Viscose fibers (VF) are widely used because of its good bio-compatibility and the adsorbent performance. In this paper, adsorbent fibers were obtained via wet spinning method with the mixed solution of activated carbon dispersion and viscose. The characterization of activated carbon/viscose fibers (ACVF) were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy (IR) scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Thermo gravimetric (TG). The results showed that activated carbon had already doped to the viscose. Benzene adsorbent performance research indicates that the adsorbent capacity of ACVFis better than VF.
Small-area variations in sales of TNF inhibitors in Sweden between 2000 and 2009 (2010)

Despite universal access to treatment, substantial but decreasing small-area variations were observed. Although geographic variations are anticipated initially, their persistence calls for investigation of patient equity and treatment appropriateness as counties seem to have different initiation thresholds.
How Item Residual Heterogeneity Affects Tests for Differential Item Functioning (2014)

Differential item functioning (DIF) occurs when people with the same proficiency have different probabilities of giving a certain response to an item. The present study focused on an assumption implicit in popular methods for DIF testing that has received little attention in published literature (item residual homogeneity). The assumption is explained, a strategy for detecting violations of it (i.e., item residual heterogeneity) is illustrated with empirical data, and simulations are carried out to evaluate the performance of binary logistic regression, two-group item response theory (IRT), and the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) test in the presence of item residual heterogeneity. Results indicated that heterogeneity inflated Type I error and attenuated power for logistic regression, and attenuated power and produced biased estimates of the latent focal group mean and standard deviation for two-group IRT. The MH test was robust to item residual heterogeneity, probably because it does not use the logistic function.

Thermoelectric Properties of Mineral Tetrahedrites Cu$_{10}$Tr$_{2}$Sb$_{4}$S$_{13}$ with Low Thermal Conductivity (2012)

We have investigated thermoelectric properties of synthesized mineral Cu10Tr2Sb4S13 (Tr = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) tetrahedrites, which have a cubic and complex crystal structure. The mother phase Tr = Cu shows metal–semiconductor transition and anomalous hysteresis. Through various Tr substitutions, the thermopower was increased and thermal conductivity was decreased. Results show that Tr = Ni had the largest dimensionless figure of merit ZT of 0.15 at 340 K. The main advantage for the large ZT is the quite low lattice thermal conductivity. Because of the large ZT and the environmentally friendly components, tetrahedrites are anticipated as a good thermoelectric material.
Mast cells link immune sensing to antigen-avoidance behaviour (2023)

The physiological functions of mast cells remain largely an enigma. In the context of barrier damage, mast cells are integrated in type 2 immunity and, together with immunoglobulin E (IgE), promote allergic diseases. Allergic symptoms may, however, facilitate expulsion of allergens, toxins and parasites and trigger future antigen avoidance<sup>1-3</sup>. Here, we show that antigen-specific avoidance behaviour in inbred mice<sup>4,5</sup> is critically dependent on mast cells; hence, we identify the immunological sensor cell linking antigen recognition to avoidance behaviour. Avoidance prevented antigen-driven adaptive, innate and mucosal immune activation and inflammation in the stomach and small intestine. Avoidance was IgE dependent, promoted by Th2 cytokines in the immunization phase and by IgE in the execution phase. Mucosal mast cells lining the stomach and small intestine rapidly sensed antigen ingestion. We interrogated potential signalling routes between mast cells and the brain using mutant mice, pharmacological inhibition, neural activity recordings and vagotomy. Inhibition of leukotriene synthesis impaired avoidance, but overall no single pathway interruption completely abrogated avoidance, indicating complex regulation. Collectively, the stage for antigen avoidance is set when adaptive immunity equips mast cells with IgE as a telltale of past immune responses. On subsequent antigen ingestion, mast cells signal termination of antigen intake. Prevention of immunopathology-causing, continuous and futile responses against per se innocuous antigens or of repeated ingestion of toxins through mast-cell-mediated antigen-avoidance behaviour may be an important arm of immunity.
Characteristics of the Multi-kW Class Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Stack for a Hybrid Electric Golf Cart (2002)

The fabrication method for the main components of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack such as electrodes, membrane-electrode assemblies, and bipolar plates was established for the effective electrode area of 240 ㎠. A counter-flow type 100-cell stack was fabricated by using the above components and then a maximum power of 7.44 kW for H/O and 5.56 kW for H/air could be obtained at 70 and 1 atm. It was seen that the distribution of the OCV for unit cells in the stack was uniform but the voltage deviation increased as the load increased due to the IR drop and the electrode polarization. The stack was applied to the power source of the fuel cell/battery hybrid electric golf car. It produced about 1 kW at a room temperature operation during the test run, which occupied about 43% of the total power required by the 2.3 kW motor.
Design for peripheral vision (2007)

The visual interface for computer-performed tasks has typically been designed with the implicit assumption that the given task constitutes the single focus of the user's attention. This approach becomes problematic when users have to access multiple devices simultaneously. Switching attention between devices decreases performance or even causes safety problems. This thesis advocates that this problem can be alleviated if a visual interface is designed to be peripheral-vision-friendly. Such an interface is characterized as (a) being perceivable when situated away from one's gaze position, and (b) capable of being processed without impairing the on-going primary task. It is suggested that to achieve this goal, one could convey information through the periphery by changing attributes of motion. This argument is supported by a series of empirical studies, in which subjects had to detect and discriminate peripheral signals in a dual-task setting. Stemming from the experimental results, a proposed Peripheral Signal Detection Theory was able to predict the observed performance by computing a quantity called Transit Density, which is intended to be an index of peripheral salience. The concept of a Kinetic Pixel was then developed from the theory. A Kinetic Pixel functions as a fundamental element for peripheral visual designs; it enables Transit Density to be easily manipulated in order to reach a desired perceptual performance.
Accurate Coulomb-fitting basis sets for H to Rn (2006)

A series of auxiliary basis sets to fit Coulomb potentials for the elements H to Rn (except lanthanides) is presented. For each element only one auxiliary basis set is needed to approximate Coulomb energies in conjunction with orbital basis sets of split valence, triple zeta valence and quadruple zeta valence quality with errors of typically below ca. 0.15 kJ mol(-1) per atom; this was demonstrated in conjunction with the recently developed orbital basis sets of types def2-SV(P), def2-TZVP and def2-QZVPP for a large set of small molecules representing (nearly) each element in all of its common oxidation states. These auxiliary bases are slightly more than three times larger than orbital bases of split valence quality. Compared to non-approximated treatments, computation times for the Coulomb part are reduced by a factor of ca. 8 for def2-SV(P) orbital bases, ca. 25 for def2-TZVP and ca. 100 for def2-QZVPP orbital bases.
Amperometric Gas Sensors with Ionic Liquid Electrolytes (2014)

The behavior of amperometric gas sensors using room temperature ionic liquid electrolytes is discussed. Ionic liquid electrolytes were used to prepare amperometric gas sensors in conventional and novel, printed configurations. These sensors were demonstrated for monitoring two toxic gases: ammonia and ozone. For ammonia sensors, the response was compared to a commercial sensor. The issues surrounding sensor performance are discussed. New results are also presented for ozone and nitrogen dioxide monitoring with second generation printed sensors using ionic liquids.
Epitope Mapping of Anti-Bear Podoplanin Monoclonal Antibody PMab-247 (2019)

Podoplanin (PDPN)/T1alpha is a type I transmembrane sialoglycoprotein, which is expressed on podocytes of the kidneys and type I alveolar cells of the lungs. PDPN is also known as Aggrus, a platelet aggregation-inducing factor, which comprises three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains (PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3) in the N-terminus and PLAG-like domains (PLDs) in the middle of the PDPN protein. We have previously established a mouse anti-bear PDPN (bPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb) clone, PMab-247 using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. PMab-247 is very useful in flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemical (IHC) analyses; however, the binding epitope of PMab-247 has not been elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the epitope of PMab-247 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and IHC analyses. The results revealed that the critical epitopes of PMab-247 are Asp76, Arg78, Glu80, and Arg82 of bPDPN. The Glu80 and Arg82 are included in PLD of bPDPN. The findings of our study can be applied to the production of more functional anti-bPDPN mAbs.
End to End Vehicle Lateral Control Using a Single Fisheye Camera (2018)

Convolutional neural networks are commonly used to control the steering angle for autonomous cars. Most of the time, multiple long range cameras are used to generate lateral failure cases. In this paper we present a novel model to generate this data and label augmentation using only one short range fisheye camera. We present our simulator and how it can be used as a consistent metric for lateral end-to-end control evaluation. Experiments are conducted on a custom dataset corresponding to more than 10000 km and 200 hours of open road driving. Finally we evaluate this model on real world driving scenarios, open road and a custom test track with challenging obstacle avoidance and sharp turns. In our simulator based on real-world videos, the final model was capable of more than 99% autonomy on urban road.

Chronic hyperinsulinemia appears to be an important determinant of HRV, particularly for the indexes reflecting sympathetic influence, independent of obesity and hypertension.
Investigating Ownership and the Willingness to Share Information Online (2007)

Networks offer the promise of sharing information. This project aims to experimentally investigate aspects of the propensity to share information online, with a specific focus on the system-induced status of information. Is a simple manipulation of the cognitive status of information sufficient to gain changes in sharing levels? A simple computerized game was used to simulate business decision situations that required participants to use information, and enabled sharing it. Our hypotheses compared the willingness to share under different conditions of system-induced ownership of information. Participants' perception of information source and ownership was the independent variable. Sharing was higher for privately owned expertise than it was for organizationally owned content. Ownership makes a difference. It serves to increase sharing of information. Ownership can and should be framed by system design.

Graph Essentials (2014)

We live in a connected world in which networks are intertwined with our daily life. Networks of air and land transportation help us reach our destinations; critical infrastructure networks that distribute water and electricity are essential for our society and economy to function; and networks of communication help disseminate information at an unprecedented rate. Finally, our social interactions form social networks of friends, family, and colleagues. Social media attests to the growing body of these social networks in which individuals interact with one another through friendships, email, blogposts, buying similar products, and many other mechanisms.
Subcellular distribution and release by sympathetic nerve stimulation of dopamine and alpha-methyl dopamine. (1966)

Dopamine-H 3 and a-methyl dopamine-H 3 have both been shown to be retained by norepinephrine Storage particles and to be released by nerve stimulation. Previously, only β-hydroxylated phenylethylamine derivatives were shown to be false capable of replacing norepinephrine in its storage sites. The present findings indicate that the β-hydroxyl group is not essential for retention of sympathomimetic amines in the storage sites when a catechol group is present, and support the view that the sites from which adrenergic transmitters are released have binding properties similar to the norepinephrine storage granules.
Plasma-based ion implantation and deposition: a review of physics, technology, and applications (2005)

After pioneering work in the 1980s, plasma-based ion implantation (PBII) and plasma-based ion implantation and deposition (PBIID) can now be considered mature technologies for surface modification and thin film deposition. This review starts by looking at the historical development and recalling the basic ideas of PBII. Advantages and disadvantages are compared to conventional ion beam implantation and physical vapor deposition for PBII and PBIID, respectively, followed by a summary of the physics of sheath dynamics, plasma and pulse specifications, plasma diagnostics, and process modeling. The review moves on to technology considerations for plasma sources and process reactors. PBII surface modification and PBIID coatings are applied in a wide range of situations. They include the by-now traditional tribological applications of reducing wear and corrosion through the formation of hard, tough, smooth, low-friction, and chemically inert phases and coatings, e.g., for engine components. PBII has become viable for the formation of shallow junctions and other applications in microelectronics. More recently, the rapidly growing field of biomaterial synthesis makes use of PBII and PBIID to alter surfaces of or produce coatings on surgical implants and other biomedical devices. With limitations, also nonconducting materials such as plastic sheets can be treated. The major interest in PBII processing originates from its flexibility in ion energy (from a few electron volts up to about 100 keV), and the capability to efficiently treat, or deposit on, large areas, and (within limits) to process nonflat, three-dimensional workpieces, including forming and modifying metastable phases and nanostructures.
Registration and segmentation for 3D map building - a solution based on stereo vision and inertial sensors (2004)

This article presents a technique for registration and segmentation of dense depth maps provided by a stereo vision system. The vision system uses inertial sensors to give a reference for camera pose. The maps are registered using a modified version of the ICP - iterative closet point algorithm to register dense depth maps obtained from a stereo vision system. The proposed technique explores the integration of inertial sensor data for dense map registration. Depth maps obtained by vision systems, are very point of view dependent, providing discrete layers of detected depth aligned with the camera. In this work we use inertial sensors to recover camera pose, and rectify the maps to a reference ground plane, enabling the segmentation of vertical and horizontal geometric features and map registration. We propose a real-time methodology segmentation of structures, object recognition, robot navigation or any other task that requires a three-dimensional representation of the physical environment. The aim of this work is a fast real-time system, which can be applied to autonomous robotic systems or to automated car driving systems, for modelling the road, identifying obstacles and roadside features in real-time.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of a Peptide-Based P,S-Ligand System Designed for Generation of Combinatorial Catalyst Libraries (2006)

An efficient methodology for the solid-phase synthesis of diverse combinatorial peptide-based P,S-ligand libraries based on a modular approach was developed. Chiral thioethers were introduced into a series of peptide scaffolds using commercially available Fmoc-protected cysteine derivatives, and secondary amines were incorporated into the peptide backbones by reductive alkylation using readily available Fmoc-protected amino aldehydes. Phosphinylation of the secondary amines of the scaffolds, applying two different reagents, yielded two different types of ligands. Subsequent complexation with palladium afforded six- or seven-membered chelates, respectively. The selectivity, in an asymmetric allylic substitution reaction, of the two different types of chelates, derived from the same peptide scaffold, was complementary in all cases studied, affording the product as opposite stereoisomers with up to 60% ee. These results hold great promise for the identification of highly selective catalysts upon screening of larger P,S-based catalyst libraries.
