Negative-refractive-index transmission-line metamaterials and enabling electromagnetic applications (2004)

We present the latest results for two RF/microwave devices and structures that we are developing at the University of Toronto, based on transmission-line NRI metamaterials. The first example is a super-resolving planar lens around 1 GHz and the second is a low-profile antenna, radiating vertical polarization, around 30 GHz.
Molecular biology of acetyl-CoA metabolism (2000)

We have characterized the expression of potential acetyl-CoA-generating genes (acetyl-CoA synthetase, pyruvate decarboxylase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, plastidic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and ATP-citrate lyase), and compared these with the expression of acetyl-CoA-metabolizing genes (heteromeric and homomeric acetyl-CoA carboxylase). These comparisons have led to the development of testable hypotheses as to how distinct pools of acetyl-CoA are generated and metabolized. These hypotheses are being tested by combined biochemical, genetic and molecular biological experiments, which is providing insights into how acetyl-CoA metabolism is regulated.
Comprehensive Gene- and Pathway-Based Analysis of Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults (2015)

Depressive symptoms are common in older adults and are particularly prevalent in those with or at elevated risk for dementia. Although the heritability of depression is estimated to be substantial, single nucleotide polymorphism-based genome-wide association studies of depressive symptoms have had limited success. In this study, we performed genome-wide gene- and pathway-based analyses of depressive symptom burden. Study participants included non-Hispanic Caucasian subjects (n = 6,884) from three independent cohorts, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), and the Indiana Memory and Aging Study (IMAS). Gene-based meta-analysis identified genome-wide significant associations (ANGPT4 and FAM110A, q-value = 0.026; GRM7-AS3 and LRFN5, q-value = 0.042). Pathway analysis revealed enrichment of association in 105 pathways, including multiple pathways related to ERK/MAPK signaling, GSK3 signaling in bipolar disorder, cell development, and immune activation and inflammation. GRM7, ANGPT4, and LRFN5 have been previously implicated in psychiatric disorders, including the GRM7 region displaying association with major depressive disorder. The ERK/MAPK signaling pathway is a known target of antidepressant drugs and has important roles in neuronal plasticity, and GSK3 signaling has been previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease and as a promising therapeutic target for depression. Our results warrant further investigation in independent and larger cohorts and add to the growing understanding of the genetics and pathobiology of depressive symptoms in aging and neurodegenerative disorders. In particular, the genes and pathways demonstrating association with depressive symptoms may be potential therapeutic targets for these symptoms in older adults.
Résistence et renaissance de la viticulture dans la lagune de Venise (2015)

The article analyses the historical and the present developments of viticulture in Venice and its lagoon. The particularities of viticulture in this area linked to the particular environmental context are highlighted, as well as its close links with the numerous religious communities historically present in the city. As regards today's conditions, the particular role of voluntary associations in the conservation and enhancement of lagoon spaces and wine production is highlighted.
[1] DNA bending, flexibility, and helical repeat by cyclization kinetics (1992)

This chapter discusses experimental approaches to the measurement of ring closure probability (J factor or Jacobson–Stockmayer factor) and the theory used to analyze ring closure, and thereby obtain fundamental physical information from the J factor. It illustrates these procedures with examples from the cyclization of bent DNA molecules (A tract multimers) and recent work on the application of cyclization methods to protein–DNA complexes. Cyclization kinetics is unusual among molecular biological techniques in its requirement for computation of the properties of models to interpret the experimental results in anything more than a highly qualitative way. The theory of cyclization kinetics can also be applied to other systems where DNA assumes conformations and where its ends are fixed in a defined spatial orientation. In vivo and in vitro results on lac repressor-mediated DNA loops have been interpreted using the cyclization paradigm, and the enhancement of cyclization has been used to provide evidence for looping. The chapter also highlights the analysis of topoisomer distributions established by ligation under various conditions that can provide complementary information to that available from cyclization kinetics.
Fluid‐structure interaction simulations of venous valves: A monolithic ALE method for large structural displacements (2018)

Venous valves are bicuspidal valves that ensure that blood in veins only flows back to the heart. To prevent retrograde blood flow, the two intraluminal leaflets meet in the center of the vein and occlude the vessel. In fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations of venous valves, the large structural displacements may lead to mesh deteriorations and entanglements, causing instabilities of the solver and, consequently, the numerical solution to diverge. In this paper, we propose an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) scheme for FSI simulations designed to solve these instabilities. A monolithic formulation for the FSI problem is considered, and due to the complexity of the operators, the exact Jacobian matrix is evaluated using automatic differentiation. The method relies on the introduction of a staggered in time velocity to improve stability, and on fictitious springs to model the contact force of the valve leaflets. Because the large structural displacements may compromise the quality of the fluid mesh as well, a smoother fluid displacement, obtained with the introduction of a scaling factor that measures the distance of a fluid element from the valve leaflet tip, guarantees that there are no mesh entanglements in the fluid domain. To further improve stability, a streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) method is employed. The proposed ALE scheme is applied to a two-dimensional (2D) model of a venous valve. The presented simulations show that the proposed method deals well with the large structural displacements of the problem, allowing a reconstruction of the valve behavior in both the opening and closing phase.

Uncertainty and traceability in alloy analysis by borate fusion and XRF (2004)

Abstract Owing to the increasing demand for compliance with quality system standards, analytical laboratories may need to demonstrate the traceability of their results to the International System of Units (SI) or to the values of a certified reference material. To do that, they need to demonstrate the components of uncertainty in their analytical work. At NIST, the goal is to demonstrate traceability to SI units to ensure that results are accepted on a worldwide basis. For XRF spectrometry with borate fusion, traceability to SI is achieved through calibration with spectrometric solution standards or high‐purity compounds. The method is capable of achieving relative expanded uncertainty estimates (95% confidence level) of 1% or lower. In this paper, the capability is demonstrated for low alloy‐steel and an AlTiNbW aerospace alloy. XRF results are compared with certified values and with results from atomic emission methods through a simple bias test. NIST uses the borate fusion/XRF method as part of the value assignment process for Standard Reference Materials ® . Copyright © 2004 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.

The paper summarizes the results of the experiments on the study of the changes in tooth and its pulp, caused by the odontopreparation by the pulsed erbium laser in comparison with the conventional and turbine dental drills. The results evident for the advantages of the laser dental drill application in some cases.
Successful Selective Stimulation of Open Hole Dual Lateral Gas-Condensate Producers with a Coiled Tubing, Hydra Jetting Tool and New Isolation Sleeve in Saudi Arabia (2010)

Abstract Drilling open hole multilateral (MLT) gas wells in carbonate reservoirs designed to maximize reservoir contact and reserve recovery is a common practice in Saudi Arabia. A significant number of wells have been completed using this approach in the past few years. Stimulation of the MLT gas wells is often required either to remove induced damage from drilling operations or to enhance well productivity. The selective accessing and stimulating of these open hole completed wells is a challenge when using conventional technologies. Several MLT Khuff-C wells with horizontal sections exceeding 3,000 ft were successfully accessed and selectively stimulated. This paper describes the accessing and stimulation operations performed with a coiled tubing (CT), hydra jetting tool and a new isolation sleeve used for the first time in the world to achieve effective stimulation. The excellent post-treatment results achieved are also presented and discussed.
The Generalized Bode Criterion: application to the dc voltage control of a three-phase photovoltaic grid-tied inverter (2019)

As renewable energies are becoming more important in the electrical generation system, power electronic converters are facing new design issues related not only to their components but also to their control loops. In this context, the Generalized Bode Criterion (GBC) appears as a good tool to correctly determine stability and to help the controller design. In order to show the potential of the GBC and how it can be applied, this paper studies a dc voltage regulation with compensation of the photovoltaic power in a three-phase photovoltaic grid-tied inverter.
Recent progress in fiber-based supercontinuum sources (2022)

Fiber-based supercontinuum (SC) generation has been a subject of intense interest over the last decade, with a significant impact on both basic science and industry. New uses for SC fiber sources are constantly emerging due to their unique properties that combine high brightness, visible to mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength coverage, fiber delivery, and single-mode output. Recent years have seen significant progress in overcoming the current shortcomings of SC sources in terms of wavelength coverage towards the 2 to 20 mu molecular fingerprint mid-infrared (MIR) region and in the ultraviolet (UV) down to 100 nm, while also improving stability, noise, coherence, power density, and robustness. In this talk, we will review all the recent advances in supercontinuum generation in a range of specialty optical fibers including: fluoride, chalcogenide, telluride, and silicon-core fibers for the MIR; UV-grade silica fibers and gas-filled hollow-core fibers for the UV range; and all-normal dispersion fibers for ultra-low noise coherent SC generation. Significant developments have been made in reaching target UV and MIR wavelength ranges, and the fiber SC has matured considerably to become a truly disruptive technology able to meet a range of societal and industrial challenges.
Concurrent C: real-time programming and fault tolerance (1991)

Concurrent C is an upward-compatible parallel extension of C which runs on a variety of uniprocessors and multiprocessors. A Concurrent C program consists of a set of processes which execute in parallel and interact with each other by sending messages. Fault-Tolerant (FT) Concurrent C, an extension of Concurrent C, is a tool for writing fault-tolerant distributed programs, based on the replication of critical processes. All details of interaction with replicated (fault-tolerant) processes are handled by the FT Concurrent C runtime system. Consequently, writing fault-tolerant distributed programs is almost the same as writing ordinary distributed programs. In this paper, we briefly describe Concurrent C, discuss its real-time facilities and describe FT Concurrent C.
Modeling of Pervaporation Separation Benzene from Dilute Aqueous Solutions Through Polydimethylsiloxane Membranes (2005)

A modified solution-diffusion model was established based on Flory-Huggins thermodynamic theory and Fujita's free volume theory. This model was used for description of the mass transfer of removal benzene from dilute aqueous solutions through polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. The effect of component concentration on the interaction parameter between components, that of the polymer membrane on the selectivity to benzene, and that of feed concentration and temperature on the permeation flux and separation factor of benzene/water through PDMS membranes were investigated. Calculated pervaporation fluxes of benzene and water were compared with the experimental results and were in good agreement with the experimental data.
Scaling of SOI FinFETs down to fin width of 4 nm for the 10nm technology node (2011)

Using a novel replacement gate SOI FinFET device structure, we have fabricated FinFETs with fin width (D Fin ) of 4nm, fin pitch (FP) of 40nm, and gate length (L G ) of 20nm. With this structure, we have achieved arrays of thousands of fins for D Fin down to 4nm with robust yield and structural integrity. We observe performance degradation, increased variability, and V T shift as D Fin is reduced. Capacitance measurements agree with quantum confinement behavior which has been predicted to pose a fundamental limit to scaling FinFETs below 10nm L G .
Prototype implementation of a connection handover system for video streaming with different delivery methods (2011)

With the emergence of multimode terminals and the deployment of multiple access networks, users are expecting ubiquitous and seamless connectivity across heterogeneous networks when using IP-based applications. For bandwidth intensive IP-based application such as Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), the multimedia contents are usually transmitted via multicast delivery for reason of efficiency. However, not all networks support multicast. Hence, multicast video delivery could lead to service disruption when users move from a network with multicast support to another network that is not. In this paper, we propose a system called Application Layer Switching System (ALSS) that focuses on switching video transmission between multicast and unicast delivery methods. More specifically, we study the overlapping period needed by the mobile terminal to achieve smooth video playback for different videos during connection handover.
Silicone Breast Implant—Associated Scarring Dystrophy of the Arm (1995)

Silicone is not an inert substance and can rarely result in devastating local tissue destruction where migration has occurred. The possibility of significant silicone gel migration should be considered during evaluation of patients with ruptured implants.
PCVN: Proactive caching of vital nodes to support provider mobility in Content-Centric Networking (2016)

User demand for content has become more evident and content service (text messages, video on demand) has become the main network service. Thus, the Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has become the research focus of next-generation Internet architecture. However, the requirements of supporting content provider mobility are not considered. To solve this problem, we propose proactive caching of vital nodes to support content provider mobility. Through collecting the content distribution and quantity in the network and calculating the vital nodes in the network based on existing methods, we analyze the content distribution in the vital nodes and finally find the nodes with content sparsely distributed. Then the content provider sends the popular contents to these vital nodes, thus increasing the number of popular content and reducing the handoff frequency of content provider.
Hemorrhage Decreases Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 2 and Interleukin-6 Release (1999)

Because most wound infections occur early after severe trauma, these results suggest that the dysfunction of wound exudate cells after hemorrhage might contribute to the increased incidence of wound infections. Therefore, attempts to enhance or restore wound cell immune function might be helpful for decreasing the incidence of wound infections in trauma victims.

Effect of Storage in Flour and of Particle Size on the Bioavailability of Elemental Iron Powders for Rats and Humans (1977)

Abstract Elemental iron powders produced by different processes were separated by nitrogen elutriation into fractions based on particle size. The fractions containing fine particles (7–10 μm) of electrolytic iron, hydrogen (H2)- and carbon monoxide (CO)-reduced iron, and the whole sample of carbonyl iron (92% &amp;lt;11 μm) were blended into freshly milled wheat flour and stored at about 21°C. Storing the enriched flour up to 9 months had no effect on the relative biological value (RBV) of iron for rats from each type of iron supplement. Baking bread with flour containing electrolytic, H2-reduced, and carbonyl iron after storage for 10 months also had no effect on the RBV of the iron powders. There was no change in the RBV of iron for rats from flour enriched with electrolytic iron (200 mg/kg) and ascorbic acid (200 and 1665 mg/kg flour) after storage for 1 week and 3 months. The decreases in RBV due to increase in size of particles (7–10 vs. 20–26 μm) were significant for H2-reduced iron and CO-reduced iron but not for electrolytic iron and carbonyl iron. The RBVs of elemental iron powders for rats were similar to the values obtained with humans, based on iron absorption after an overnight fast.
Extended in vivo blood circulation time of fluorinated liposomes (1993)

The clearance from blood circulation of fluorinated liposomes made with perfluoroalkylated phosphatidylcholines was investigated in mice using liposome-entrapped 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. The presence of a fluorinated core inside the membrane strongly retards their blood clearance. The fluorinated vesicles showed circulation half-lives of up to 8.6 h, which are 6-13 and 3-6 times larger than those of similarly sized conventional distearoylphosphatidylcholine and distearoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol liposomes, respectively. Their blood clearance was similar to that of some polyethylene glycol (PEG)-labelled 'stealth' liposomes and was dose-independent in a 3.3-330 mumol/kg body weight dose range.
[Construction and experimental immunity of recombinant replication-competent canine adenovirus type 2 expressing hemagglutinin gene of H5N1 subtype tiger influenza virus]. (2006)

H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was highly pathogenic and sometimes even fatal for tigers and cats. To develop a new type of vaccine for Felidae influenza prevention, recombinant replication-competent canine adenovirus Type 2 expressing hemagglutinin gene of H5N1 subtype tiger influenza virus was constructed. A/tiger/Harbin/01/2003 (HSN1) HA gene was cloned into PVAX1. The HA expression cassette which included CMV and HA and PolyA was ligated into the E3 deletion region of pVAXdeltaE. The recombinant plasmid was named pdeltaEHA. The pdelta EHA and the pPoly2-CAV2 were digested with Nru I /Sal I, respectively. The purified Nru I/Sal I DNA fragment containing the HA expression cassette was cloned into pPoly2-CAV2 to generate the recombinant plasmid pCAV-2/HA. The recombinant genome was released from pCAV-2/HA, and was transfected into MDCK cells by Lipofectamine. The recombinant virus named CAV2/HA was gained. Anti-H5N1 influenza virus HI antibody (1:8 - 1:16) was detected in the cat immunized with CAV-2/HA.
A fluorescence study of liposomes entrapped in sol-gel materials (1997)

Liposomes of phosphatidylcholine lipids were successfully entrapped in silicates using the sol-gel method with complete retention of the molecular aggregates over long periods in aqueous solution. Fluorescent studies of the small unilamellar vesicles of 5% pyrene labeled lipid PSIDA with DSPC remobilized in the gel found significant lipid reorganization upon aging in aqueous solutions. Monitoring of pyrene excimer (470 nm) to monomer (375 nm) ratios in the bilayer reveals that the silicate matrix tends to disperse PSIDA lipid aggregates from that observed in free solution. On an interesting note, the liposomes in the gel at pH 7.5. The PSIDA/DSPC liposomes, sensitive to heavy metal ions in free solution, maintain similar sensitivity in the gel yet the sensor material can not be recycled.
