On the Feedback Capacity of the Fully Connected $K$-User Interference Channel (2012)

The symmetric <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">K</i> -user interference channel with fully connected topology is considered, in which 1) each receiver suffers interference from all other ( <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">K</i> -1) transmitters, and 2) each transmitter has causal and noiseless feedback from its respective receiver. The number of generalized degrees of freedom (\ssr <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">GDoF</i> ) is characterized in terms of α, where the interference-to-noise ratio (\ssr <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">INR</i> ) is given by \ssr <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">INR</i> = \ssr <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">SNR</i> <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">α</sup> .

A Study on the Microstructure of the Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors with Ni Internal Electrode. (2001)

Effect of annealing, in an oxidizing atmosphere after sintering, on the electrical properties and microstructure of (Ba, Ca)(Ti, Zr)O3-based (BCTZ-based) multilayer ceramic capacitors with Ni internal electrodes has been studied. In the case of the dielectric layer thinner than 2μm, insulation resistance greatly increased by annealing, and the layer between the Ni-electrodes was observed to be single grain. After annealing, there was an interface of 0.4 nm between dielectric material and Ni-electrode. The composition of interfaced region was different from the BCTZ-based dielectric.

Beyond the isotropic-model approximation in the theory of thermal conductivity (1996)

By the use of an iterative method the linearized phonon-Boltzmann equation for a dielectric solid subjected to a thermal gradient is solved in the frame of three-phonon interactions. In this way it is possible to calculate the thermal conductivity of rare-gas solids starting from the pair potential and accounting for the real Brillouin zone of the lattice. The numerical results are in full agreement with experiment and represent a considerable improvement with respect to those previously deduced for an isotropic solid.
Interactive visual analysis of multiobjective optimizations (2010)

Optimization problems are typically addressed by purely automatic approaches. For multi-objective problems, however, a single best solution often does not exist. In this case, it is necessary to analyze trade-offs between many conflicting goals within a given application context. This poster describes an approach that tightly integrates automatic algorithms for multi-objective optimization and interactive multivariate visualizations. Ad-hoc selections support a flexible definition of input data for subsequent algorithms. These algorithms in turn represent their result as derived data attributes that can be assigned to visualizations or be used as a basis for further selections (e.g., to constrain the result set). This enables a guided search that still involves the knowledge of domain experts. We describe our approach in the context of multi-run simulation data from the application domain of car engine design.
Mechanism of nonrandom pattern formation of polar-conjugated molecules in a partial wetting regime (2002)

An original nucleation and growth process has been investigated for vacuum-deposited films of a polar-conjugated molecule, tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (III) $({\mathrm{Alq}}_{3}),$ onto the apolar H-terminated Si(100). Homogeneous nucleation of amorphous ${\mathrm{Alq}}_{3}$ clusters is restricted to the early stage of deposition and is characterized by a large critical nucleus size $i=5,$ as determined from the dependence of the density of stable nuclei N on deposition rate \ensuremath{\kappa}. ${\mathrm{Alq}}_{3}$ clusters grow in a partial wetting regime to form correlated droplet patterns. For moderate deposition rates around 1 nm/min, patterns exhibit both (i) a typical scale invariance of the droplet size distribution with coverage and substrate temperature and (ii) strong correlations between the size and position of the droplets. Both these characteristics result from the absence of coarsening---e.g., Ostwald ripening, secondary nucleation, and coalescence during growth. Spatial correlations are analyzed by using Voronoi tesselation, which demonstrates the validity of a phenomenological capture zone model for correlated growth. Correlations emerge in the early stage of growth via direct ripening and further develop during growth by diffusive interactions between domains. Direct ripening manifests itself by the introduction of a minimum cutoff distance between droplets, which causes a significant narrowing of the droplet size distribution. During growth, diffusive interactions between droplets cause their centers of mass to move towards empty depleated areas, which results in enhanced spatial correlations. This peculiar nucleation and growth mechanism allows one to obtain droplet patterns where the interdroplet distance and droplet size can be tuned independently via deposition temperature and time.
Staphylococcus Aureusin the Dairy Chain (2014)

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen causing a variety of diseases. Some strains are able to produce staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) causing food intoxications. Two different aspects are of importance concerning the presence of S. aureus in the dairy chain: (i) clinical and subclinical infections of cows, not only posing a health risk via shedding of S. aureus in their milk but also being an economic factor in dairy farming; and (ii) transmission into the dairy chain and production of enterotoxins leading to human food poisoning. There are five major classical SE types causing food poisoning, i.e., SEA, SEB, SEC, SED, and SEE, and several newly identified SEs. Rapid detection and quantification methods could serve as valuable tools for early indication of process failures, and as part of hazard analysis and critical control points concepts. The trend in S. aureus enterotoxin detection and quantification is enhanced by the desire to reduce the time from sampling to identification and confirmation in the laboratory. These commercially available rapid methods (e.g., classical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)) can detect approximately 1.0 nanogram of toxin/g of food. A further recent development is a real-time immunoquantitative PCR method for the detection of SE. For further characterization of enterotoxigenic S. aureus, a number of techniques have been developed lately, including, for example, DNA microarrays and subtyping methods. Characterization and subtyping methods facilitate tracking and tracing the contamination and transmission routes of S. aureus in the dairy chain.
An effective technique for calibrating the intrinsic parameters of a vascular C-arm from a planar target (2006)

The real time recovery of the projection geometry is a fundamental issue in interventional navigation applications (e.g. guide wire reconstruction, medical augmented reality). In most works, the intrinsic parameters are supposed to be constant and the extrinsic parameters (C-arm motion) are deduced either from the orientation sensors of the C-arm or from other additional sensors (eg. optical and/or electro-magnetic sensors). However, due to the weight of the X-ray tube and the C-arm, the system is undergoing deformations which induce variations of the intrinsic parameters as a function of the C-arm orientation. In our approach, we propose to measure the effects of the mechanical deformations onto the intrinsic parameters in a calibration procedure. Robust calibration methods exist (the gold standard is <i>the multi-image calibration</i>) but they are time consuming and too tedious to set up in a clinical context. For these reasons, we developed an original and easy to use method, based on a planar calibration target, which aims at measuring with a high level of accuracy the variation of the intrinsic parameters on a vascular C-arm. The precision of the planar-based method was evaluated by the mean of error propagation using techniques described in.<sup>8</sup> It appeared that the precision of the intrinsic parameters are comparable to the one obtained from the multi-image calibration method. The planar-based method was also successfully used to assess to behavior of the C-arm with respect to the C-arm orientations. Results showed a clear variation of the principal point when the LAO/RAO orientation was changed. In contrast, the intrinsic parameters do not change during a cranio-caudal C-arm motion.
Large-scale, multibreed, multitrait analyses of quantitative trait loci experiments: The case of porcine X chromosome1 (2005)

A QTL analysis of multibreed experiments (i.e., crossed populations involving more than two founder breeds) offers clear advantages over classical two-breed crosses, among them increased power and a more comprehensive coverage of the total genetic variability in the species. An alternative to designed multibreed crosses is to reanalyze jointly several experiments involving different breeds. We report a multibreed, multitrait QTL analysis of SSCX that involves five different crosses, six breeds, and almost 3,000 genotyped individuals using a truly multibreed strategy to allow for any number of founder breed origins. Traits analyzed were growth, fat thickness, carcass length, and shoulder and ham weights. Generally, the joint analysis resulted in more significant QTL than the single-experiment analyses. We show that the QTL for fatness, which is highly significant (nominal P < 10(-43)), is of Asiatic origin (Meishan). The next most significant QTL (nominal P < 10(-15)) affected ham weight and seems to be segregating only between Large White and the rest of the breeds. A multitrait, multi-QTL analysis suggests that these are two distinct loci. Additionally, a locus segregating only between Iberian and Landrace affects live weight. The advantages of joint, multibreed analyses clearly outweigh their potential risks.

Big data analytics in sustainability reports: an analysis based on the perceived credibility of corporate published information (2019)

Abstract The credibility of sustainability reports has been the subject of scientific research for several years. The problem is often referred to as the so-called credibility gap, which is based on information asymmetries. The situation is further complicated by the limited rationality of human action as improvements to reports do not necessarily translate into credibility gains. Research has proposed and extracted several methods to overcome the issue. Hitherto, most approaches to solve the problem focused on marketing-oriented approaches. This work takes a new approach and explores the extent to which information technology can increase credibility using the potential of big data analytics. We base our research on the relationship of the quality of information and on the perception of objective truth as postulated in the Habermas Theory of Communicative Action. We use the forecast-oriented Partial Least Squares Methodology for the review of hypotheses extracted from literature and expert surveys. The result confirms potential of the criteria of volume and veracity while velocity and variety do not yield comparable potential concerning sustainability reporting.
Facile Doping of Anionic Narrow‐Band‐Gap Conjugated Polyelectrolytes During Dialysis (2013)

PCPDTBTSO3 K, an anionic, narrow-band-gap conjugated polyelectrolyte, was found to be doped after dialysis. The proposed doping mechanism involves protonation of the polymer backbone, followed by electron transfer from a neutral chain, to generate radical cations, which are stabilized by the pendant sulfonate anions. Formation of polarons is supported by spectroscopy and electrical-conductivity measurements.
Position Effects Are Influenced by the Orientation of a Transgene with Respect to Flanking Chromatin (2001)

We have inserted two expression cassettes at tagged reference chromosomal sites by using recombinase-mediated cassette exchange in mammalian cells. The three sites of integration displayed either stable or silencing position effects that were dominant over the different enhancers present in the cassettes. These position effects were strongly dependent on the orientation of the construct within the locus, with one orientation being permissive for expression and the other being nonpermissive. Orientation-specific silencing, which was observed at two of the three site tested, was associated with hypermethylation but not with changes in chromatin structure, as judged by DNase I hypersensitivity assays. Using CRE recombinase, we were able to switch in vivo the orientation of the transgenes from the permissive to the nonpermissive orientation and vice versa. Switching from the permissive to the nonpermissive orientation led to silencing, but switching from the nonpermissive to the permissive orientation did not lead to reactivation of the transgene. Instead, transgene expression occurred dynamically by transcriptional oscillations, with 10 to 20% of the cells expressing at any given time. This result suggested that the cassette had been imprinted (epigenetically tagged) while it was in the nonpermissive orientation. Methylation analysis revealed that the methylation state of the inverted cassettes resembled that of silenced cassettes except that the enhancer had selectively lost some of its methylation. Sorting of the expressing and nonexpressing cell populations provided evidence that the transcriptional oscillations of the epigenetically tagged cassette are associated with changes in the methylation status of regulatory elements in the transgene. This suggests that transgene methylation is more dynamic than was previously assumed.
Tailored SMASH image reconstructions for robust in vivo parallel MR imaging (2000)

The simultaneous acquisition of spatial harmonics (SMASH) imaging technique uses spatial information from an array of RF coils to substitute for omitted encoding gradient steps and thereby to accelerate MR image acquisition. Since SMASH image reconstructions rely on the accurate generation of sinusoidally varying composite sensitivity functions to emulate the spatial modulations produced by gradients, the technique was originally believed to be limited to certain image planes or coil array configurations which were particularly suited to the generation of spatial harmonics. Several key improvements to the SMASH reconstruction procedure are described, taking advantage of various degrees of freedom in the spatial harmonic fit. The use of tailored fitting procedures, in combination with a numerical conditioning approach based on new observations about noise propagation in the fit, are shown to allow high-quality SMASH image reconstructions in oblique and double-oblique image planes, both in phantoms and in high-resolution cardiac MR images.

Conformational Concept for Synthetic Chemist's Use: Principles and in Lab Exploitation (2015)

"This innovative book presents an original account of the principles of conformational theory. It has a strong focus on computational methodologies for conformational space exploration. By revisiting basic conformational conventions, considering experimental results which are often misinterpreted by organic chemists, and qualitatively analyzing the potential energy surface, the book helps non-experts to understand molecular flexibility at the level required in contemporary research. The book shows synthetic organic chemists how to perform successful conformational studies using widespread calculation packages ('click computational chemistry') instead of being misguided by textbook-based conformational analysis. The monograph actually offers to synthetic chemists a new research tool that can significantly upgrade their ability to predict, or at least explain, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity in their own reactions."--
Method for Fabricating Multilevel Interconnection Structures using Differential Delamination Energies between Metal and Silicon Oxide Thin Films (2015)

A method for fabricating multilevel interconnection structures using differential delamination energies (adhesion strength) between metal and silicon oxide thin films has been developed. When the selectivity of the delamination energies between the metal and the silicon oxide thin films sets on the wiring, the silicon oxide thin film can be released on the low delaminaion energy area and can be held on the high delamination energy area by using ultrasonic waves. The delamination energies are calculated by using a molecular dynamics simulation. The delamination energies between chromium, titanium, and nickel and silicon oxide thin films are larger than those of copper and gold thin films. The chromium, titanium, and nickel are applied as an adhesion layer with silicon oxide, and the copper and gold are applied as a release layer from silicon oxide. The results are applied to the process for fabricating the multilevel interconnection structures, and the release and the adhesive areas of silicon oxide thin film can be fabricated on the wiring by adding ultrasonic waves. With this method, the lower wrings and the contact areas of the multilevel interconnection structures can be easily fabricated.

Heme Protein Dynamics Revealed by Geminate Nitric Oxide Recombination in Mutants of Iron and Cobalt Myoglobin (1999)

Nitric oxide myoglobin (MbNO) at 300 K was photodissociated with 405 nm pulses. The NO recombination in several mutants of iron and cobalt myoglobins was investigated at a time resolution of ca. 70 fs. The geminate recombination of NO was nonexponential on sub-nanosecond time scales. For both metals, the change of the detailed structure of the heme pocket (position 68 mutations) caused significant changes in the rates of recombination; however, the metal substitution influenced the recombination much less than did amino acid substitution. The results indicate a primary role of the heme pocket structure in the dynamics, and they suggest that proximal protein relaxation is not the limiting factor in the geminate recombination process. Recombination in cobalt derivatives is somewhat more efficient on the sub-nanosecond time scales than in corresponding iron myoglobins, consistent with other results that show a greater intrinsic reactivity toward the NO of cobalt compared with the iron heme. A comparison of results using Soret band excitation with previous Q-state excitation studies demonstrates that the ligand dissociates with a similar kinetic energy in both cases, suggesting fast intramolecular energy redistribution before dissociation.
U-Slot Patch Antenna Principle and Design Methodology Using Characteristic Mode Analysis and Coupled Mode Theory (2019)

Patch antennas incorporating a U-shaped slot are well-known to have relatively large (about 30%) impedance bandwidths. This work uses characteristic mode analysis (CMA) to explain the impedance behavior of a classic U-slot patch geometry in terms of coupled mode theory and shows the relevant modes are in-phase and anti-phase coupled modes whose resonant frequencies are governed by coupled mode theory. Additional analysis shows that one uncoupled resonator is the conventional TM01 patch mode and the other is a lumped LC resonator involving the slot and the probe. An equivalent circuit model for the antenna is given wherein element values are extracted from CMA data and which explicitly demonstrates coupling between these two resonators. The circuit model approximately reproduces the impedance locus of the driven simulation. A design methodology based on coupled mode theory and guided by CMA is presented that allows wideband U-slot patch geometries to be designed quickly and efficiently. The methodology is illustrated through example.
