High‐Voltage Pyrophosphate Cathodes (2012)

Abstract The quest to explore and to discover novel cathode materials is key to sustaining the progress of Li‐ion rechargeable batteries. It has encouraged materials’ chemists to design and develop a variety of polyanionic compounds. This paper reports and summarizes recent progress in the development of alkali metal pyrophosphate based cathode materials for battery applications. It points out that the pyrophosphate‐based polyanionic‐framework materials offer a rich crystal chemistry, ease of synthesis and robust structure offering good alkali‐ion mobility. Thus, they can form a promising class of cathode materials both for lithium‐ and sodium‐ion secondary batteries. In the Perspectives section, it is speculated that keen study of the myriad of pyrophosphate phases, selective screening and design of key pyrophosphate compounds with open frameworks and optimizing those compounds with nanosizing and carbon coating can lead to breakthroughs in the realization of commercially viable high‐voltage Li‐ion and Na‐ion pyrophosphate cathodes.
Some principles for designing a wide-area optical network (2002)

Explores design principles for next generation optical wide-area networks, employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), and targeted to nationwide coverage. This almost-all-optical network will exploit wavelength multiplexers and optical switches in routing nodes, so that arbitrary virtual topologies may be imbedded on a given physical network. The virtual topology, which is packet switched and which consists of a set of all-optical lightpaths, is set up to exploit the relative strengths of both optics and electronics viz. packets of information are carried by the virtual topology "as far as possible" in the optical domain, but packet forwarding from lightpath to lightpath is performed via electronic switching, whenever required. Algorithms are developed so that the WDM-based network architecture will (a) provide a high aggregate system capacity due to spatial reuse of wavelengths, and (b) support a large and scalable number of users, given a limited number of wavelengths. The authors illustrate their approaches by employing experimental traffic statistics collected from NSFNET.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Enhanced Glycolysis Confers Resistance Against Photon but Not Carbon Ion Irradiation in Human Glioma Cell Lines (2023)

Our results suggest that enhanced glycolysis confers resistance against X-ray-induced cell death and migration, while it may not significantly alter the cellular responses to carbon ion irradiation.
Cytomegalovirus-Related Complications in Human Hand Transplantation (2005)

CMV infection/disease complicated the postoperative course after composite tissue allograft (CTA) transplantation in five of nine recipients challenged with the virus. The close time correlation suggests an association between virus replication and rejection in some cases. CMV represents the major infectious threat in CTA transplantation. Therefore, CMV-mismatch should be avoided and prophylaxis with valgancyclovir and anti-CMV hyperimmunoglobulin should be mandatory.
Racial and ethnic differences in circulating N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in US adults (2023)

NT-proBNP levels are significantly lower among Black and Mexican American adults compared with White adults, independent of cardiometabolic risk. Although race/ethnicity is a poor proxy for genetic differences, our findings may have clinical implications for the management of HF. However, studies in diverse populations are needed to characterize the biological basis of NT-proBNP variation.

AAC Goldrush hard red winter wheat (2017)

AAC Goldrush is a hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar eligible for grades of Canada Western Red Winter wheat. It was developed using a modified pedigree breeding method. AAC Goldrush was tested in replicated trials across western Canada for 6 yr: 2 yr for initial characterization followed by 4 yr of evaluation in registration trials. Based on 41 station–years of registration trial data, AAC Goldrush yielded significantly more grain than CDC Buteo and was similar to Flourish, Moats, and AAC Elevate. AAC Goldrush expressed very good winter survival, intermediate maturity, medium height straw with good lodging resistance, and average size kernels. Disease ratings at the time of registration were resistant to the prevalent races of leaf rust, moderately resistant to stem rust, intermediate in resistance to stripe rust and Fusarium head blight, and susceptible to common bunt. Leaf spot reactions were similar to the best check. The grain yield, agronomic characteristics, and disease resistance attributes of AAC Goldrush make it particularly well-suited to the eastern Prairie region of western Canada where CDC Buteo has been popular.
Effects of immobilization angle on tendon healing after achilles rupture in a rat model (2019)

Conservative (non-operative) treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures is a common alternative to operative treatment. Following rupture, ankle immobilization in plantarflexion is thought to aid healing by restoring tendon end-to-end apposition. However, early activity may improve limb function, challenging the role of immobilization position on tendon healing, as it may affect loading across the injury site. This study investigated the effects of ankle immobilization angle in a rat model of Achilles tendon rupture. We hypothesized that manipulating the ankle from full plantarflexion into a more dorsiflexed position during the immobilization period would result in superior hindlimb function and tendon properties, but that prolonged casting in dorsiflexion would result in inferior outcomes. After Achilles tendon transection, animals were randomized into eight immobilization groups ranging from full plantarflexion (160°) to mid-point (90°) to full dorsiflexion (20°), with or without angle manipulation. Tendon properties and ankle function were influenced by ankle immobilization position and time. Tendon lengthening occurred after 1 week at 20° compared to more plantarflexed angles, and was associated with loss of propulsion force. Dorsiflexing the ankle during immobilization from 160° to 90° produced a stiffer, more aligned tendon, but did not lead to functional changes compared to immobilization at 160°. Although more dorsiflexed immobilization can enhance tissue properties and function of healing Achilles tendon following rupture, full dorsiflexion creates significant tendon elongation regardless of application time. This study suggests that the use of moderate plantarflexion and earlier return to activity can provide improved clinical outcomes. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Reliability Prediction using Large MOS Capacitors (1984)

Large MOS capacitors were used in a study of the dielectric breakdown mechanism to establish the relationship among the results of various test methods. Reliance on models was avoided through the use of a test vehicle which duplicated the structures of a 64K dynamic memory device. A method is proposed to predict device reliability using process monitors at the time of wafer manufacture.

The Importance of Oxides and Oxide–Water Reactions (2016)

Earth is composed primarily of oxides (Fig. 1.1, Plate 1, Table 1.1). The interior is a iron-nickel core that represents 35% of the planetary mass. The core is encapsulated within a plastic zone called the mantle. Floating on top of the mantle, like the slag on top of a blast furnace, is a thin skin called the crust. Both the mantle and the crust (65% of the planetary mass) are primarily oxides. Although the crust is thin (8–13 km thick under the ocean basins and up to 70 km thick under the continents), it still represents a massive amount of material, corresponding to 7 billion km3, with a weight of 2.5 · 1019 metric tons. Of this mass, 46% is tied up in the relatively light element oxygen, predominantly in oxides containing silicon, aluminum, and iron. Almost every material that we humans encounter or use is derived from the oxide building blocks that comprise Earth’s crust. Water is by far the most abundant liquid on the planet. In fact, it can be difficult to comprehend just how much water is contained in Earth. Most of our liquid water is in the oceans, which cover a total surface area of 361 million km2 (70% of Earth’s surface) at an average depth of almost 4 km (Plate 1). The volume of water in the oceans is 1.4 billion km3, which is one-fifth the volume of the entire crust. The total mass of the hydrosphere is 1.7 · 1018 MT. However, the total water content of the planet is estimated to be 100 times greater than the liquid we see; most of the water on Earth (2 · 1020 MT) is tied up in hydrous oxide minerals in Earth’s interior. We all know that life on Earth could not exist without water. However, to put things in perspective, the total mass of all living things on Earth is 3.6 · 1011 MT, which is 5 million times less than the mass of liquid water on our planet.
A new method to estimate arterial blood pressure using photoplethysmographic signal (2006)

Preceding studies have shown photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal resembles blood pressure (BP) wave and varies. Some investigators also have studied this relationship to explain complex hemodynamic characterization. The purpose of this study is to make a trial of finding arterial BP (ABP) using PPG signal. This new attempt is based on the theory that BP consists of the change of blood volume (BY) and the resistance of vessels. This study proposes a method to estimate BP from PPG signal and points to be considered when we use this method. Therefore we can classify cardiac output (CO) and the blood vessel resistance (VR) by analyzing PPG signal. Signals were obtained from the tails of three healthy dogs and the fingers of six patients who have changes of BP. In the animal test, we first found the correlations between PPG signal and BP, and then we could reconfirm the relationship in the clinical test. PPG signal could be influenced by the pressure (P) that occurred between the index finger and the sensor and the temperature (T) of the interest region, so we examined these influences with six healthy subjects. From the experimental results, we suggest the relationship of the estimation of BP from PPG signal. When PPG signal is normalized by P and T, this PPG signal offers more accurate estimation of BP. This study could be able to provide a new BP measurement system that has not only convenience but also accuracy.
Optimal Day-Ahead Operation Scheduling of a One-Pipe Heating System (2022)

The article is focused on buildings with legacy one-pipe heating systems that have inherent problems with high losses and maintaining comfort when classical zone hysteresis and constant forward medium temperature control are applied to them. We show a great potential of predictive control to improve both comfort and energy efficiency in these systems by exploiting the possibilities existing in synchronized operation between rooms and the central heating station of the building. Optimal day-ahead scheduling based on predictive control is applied to assess the efficient operation mode of such a system which is then compared with classical reactive controls. The case study of primary school in Strem, Austria is considered and significant comfort improvement and savings possibilities are revealed.
Acoustic technique for pinpointing leaks in low-pressure gas mains (1983)

A passive sonic leak-pinpointing technique is being developed for low-pressure (1.7 to 3.4 kPa) gas-distribution mains. Experimental laboratory results demonstrate that low-pressure leaks can be detected and accurately pinpointed to -+15 cm by moving a microphone inside of the distribution main. Our results also indicate that it is feasible to determine the type or leak and the flow rate of gas through the leak. The signal processing for typing and sizing has not been developed as yet. Such processing may prove to be complex. Currently, the major need and thus the major emphasis is for a leak pinpointer. Sizing and typing leaks would be bonus features if available. Combining experimental results with theories for the noise produced by gas jetting through an orifice and the propagation of sound through opening in walls yields a coherent picture of leak sound inside a main. 9 figures.
Piezoresistance in Organometallic Crystals (1970)

Several organometallic compounds have been studied to determine the influence of hydrostatic and anisotropic strains on the electrical resistance. Large pressure related changes in resistivity were observed in square planar d8 complexes of iridium and platinum in which a metal-metal interaction is postulated. Compounds not having adjacent metal symmetry show significantly less piezoresistance.
Effect of tunneling transfer on thermal redistribution of carriers in hybrid dot-well nanostructures (2013)

The thermally induced redistribution of carriers between quantum well (QW) and quantum dot (QD) layers in a hybrid dot-well system composed of InAs QDs and an InGaAs QW is studied by means of photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. This redistribution significantly affects the QD and QW PL intensities depending both on the dot-well barrier thickness and height. For comparatively thin barriers, the interplay between tunnel and thermal carrier fluxes becomes crucial, governing the exciton dynamics in a tunnel injection dot-well structure at elevated temperatures. For a sufficiently thick spacer, it is shown that exciton localization within the QW, apparently induced by QD strain fields, has a profound influence on the transfer dynamics at low temperatures.

New naphtho[1,8-ef]perimidines: synthesis, fluorescence studies and application for detection of nitroanalytes (2021)

A rational approach to the synthesis of substituted naphtho[1,8-ef]perimidines based on SNH methodology and cyclization reaction in the series of condensed azines with naphthalene substituents was presented. Photophysical properties of the obtained fluorophores were studied, in particular, green fluorescence in the 485–536 nm range with quantum yield up to 32.4% was detected. HOMO-LUMO energy values and distributions for the new compounds were calculated by the DFT method in comparison with nitroanalytes and perylene. Based on the data obtained, as well as on the results of fluorescence titration, the possibility of using the new diazaperylenes as potential chemosensors for the visual detection of nitro-containing explosives was shown.

A highly practical modified LOCOS isolation technology for the 256 Mbit DRAM (1994)

We have developed a modified LOCOS isolation technology for the 256 Mbit DRAM. This novel Poly-Si Spacer LOCOS (PSL) isolation has been applied to build a 16 Mbit density DRAM with 256 Mbit (0.3 /spl mu/m) design rules. With the PSL isolation process, low bird's beak encroachment, good vertical profile, clear definition of the active and field boundaries, high punchthrough voltage, and low leakage current have been achieved by simple fabrication processes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
1024 Visualization of Fracture Simulation Using a Particle Method (2007)

A new method is developed to visualize simulation results which include the fracture of elastic material. Moving Particle Semi-implicit Method (MPS) is used to simulate the behavior of elastic material. Separation tensor is introduced, which describes the state of balancing force at each particle. The separation tensor is used to predict the occurrence and the direction of fracture. For the visualization of the simulation results, the vertices of polygons are related to the position of the nearest particle and they are moved according to the displacement of the particle. When the fracture occurs, they are visualized by generating new polygons around the fracture.
Synthesis of well‐defined azide‐terminated poly(vinyl alcohol) and their subsequent modification via click chemistry (2009)

Abstract A new azide‐functionalized xanthate, S ‐(4‐azidomethylbenzyl) O ‐(2‐methoxyethyl) xanthate, was synthesized and used to mediate the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of vinyl acetate. The polymerization was demonstrated to be controlled, and well‐defined PVAc with α‐azide, ω‐xanthate groups were obtained, the xanthate groups of which were further removed by radical‐induced reduction with lauroyl peroxide in the presence of excess 2‐propanol. Hydrolysis of α‐azide‐terminated PVAc (N 3 ‐PVAc) led to the formation of the corresponding α‐azide‐terminated PVA (N 3 ‐PVA). Finally, end‐modification of N 3 ‐PVA by click chemistry with alkyne‐end‐capped poly(caprolactone) (A‐PCL), alkynyl‐mannose, and alkynyl‐pyrene was carried out to obtain a new block copolymer PCL‐ b ‐PVA, and two PVA with mannose or pyrene as the end functional groups. The polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, 1 H NMR spectroscopy, and FTIR. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 4494–4504, 2009
Phase IB study of FOLFIRINOX plus PF-04136309 in patients with borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PC). (2015)

338 Background: PF-04136309 (a novel CCR2 inhibitor) has shown anti-tumor activity in the preclinical setting in PC by depleting inflammatory monocytes and tumor associated macrophages (TAM) that contribute to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. We hypothesized that combining PF-04136309 with FOLFIRINOX may improve clinical outcomes in PC. Methods: This is a phase Ib study with a dose de-escalation schema given the minimal toxicity of PF-04136309. The study includes Arm A (FOLFIRINOX only), Arm B (FOLFIRINOX plus PF-04136309) and an expansion cohort at the rapid phase II dose (RP2D). FOLFIRINOX (oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 , irinotecan 180 mg/m 2 , LV 400 mg/m 2 , 5FU bolus 400 mg/m 2 and 2,400 mg/m 2 over 46 hours) was administered every two weeks. PF-04136309 at 500 mg twice daily via oral route was the starting dose level for Arm B. Treatment response was assessed after 6 cycles of treatment. Bone marrow biopsy and EUS/FNA at baseline and post 2 cycles were performed to assess the impact of treatment on the prevalence and function of inflammatory monocytes in the blood, bone marrow and tumor. Results: A total of 41 patients have been enrolled in the study to date (6 in Arm A, 8 in Arm B and 27 in the expansion cohort). The mean age of patients was 61.1 (range 45-75 yrs), male/female: 21/20, Caucasian/others: 32/9, borderline/locally advanced: 7/34. PF-04136309 at the starting dose did not result in additional toxicities when combined with FOLFIRINOX and it is the RP2D. Out of 35 patients treated with FOLFIRINOX plus PF-04136309, 6 are still in treatment, 6 are non-evaluable (withdrew consent or had poor tolerance). Of the 23 evaluable patients, 21 (91.3%) completed all 6 cycles; 12 (52.2%) had PR by RECIST and 11 (47.8%) had SD. Curative resections were achieved in 4 out of 5 with borderline resectable and 2 with locally advanced PC. Moreover, blockade of TAM mobilization was demonstrated by FACS and qPCR analysis of baseline and post-treatment FNA biopsies. Conclusions: Combing PF-04136309 with FOLFIRINOX is safe and tolerable. The regimen resulted in impressive treatment response and it further validated CCR2 inhibition in PC. Survival data and more correlative science will be forthcoming.
