Analysis of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography – Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry (2000)

Analysis of polyunsaturated fatty acids using high performance liquid chromatography–atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry is described. The standard fatty acid methyl esters from 16 to 22 carbons were analyzed by LC-MS with APCI. The effect of orifice voltage and total carbon atoms versus number of double bonds in each homologue on the mass spectra is discussed. The correction coefficients for homologues from saturated fatty acids to hexaenoic acid are also mentioned.
Study of Mullite-IIIa Oxides Ceramics (1989)

Effect of IIIa oxide additives on bending strength and micro-structure of mullite ceramics produced using two different kinds of powders were investigated. For the mullite powder produced by the arc-melting method, the maximum bending strength of 250MPa at room temperature was obtained with addition of 5.5mol% Y2O3, and no degradation of strength was observed at 1200°C. Y2SiO5 was detected at grain boundaries by TEM observation, and this seemed to be the cause for the high strength at high temperatures. For the mullite powder produced by the sol-gel method, on the other hand, no effect of Y2O3 addition on the bending strength was observed.
Experiences with ARTEMIS--an Internet-based telemedicine system. (1997)

ARTEMIS is one of the first systems to exploit the Internet/Intranet technologies for exchanging patient information among health care providers. The primary project goal was to develop and demonstrate a regional telehealth environment specifically to support real-time consultations among health care providers via a computer network, provide secure access to multi-media patient records and discharge summaries, facilitate authentication/digital sign-off, multi-media mail-based referrals, and network-based dictation/transcription. A prototype is deployed in southern West Virginia in a Community Care Network (CCN). The CCN consists of providers, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, that make up one "Virtual" clinic on the "Intranet". ARTEMIS employs new technologies such as Java and JavaScript for the browser, and CORBA-based "middleware" for interoperability at the server-end. Several experiments were designed for evaluating the impact of ARTEMIS on patient care. In this paper we discuss the challenges we faced and the means by which we plan to meet these challenges. We conclude by outlining new thrust areas in which we are concentrating in our next phase of development of ARTEMIS.
Automated, Solid-Phase Synthesis ofC-Neoglycopeptides:  Coupling of Glycosyl Derivatives to Resin-Bound Peptides (1998)

A fully automated solid-phase synthesis of C-neoglycopeptides has been developed using a convergent strategy. In this approach, C-glycoside derivatives (3 and 4) were coupled to resin-bound peptides using a peptide synthesizer. An advantage of the convergent approach is the ability to introduce multiple glycoside units late in the synthesis. The approach presented is highly versatile and efficient and could be used for building C-neoglycopeptide libraries. In our study, neoglycopeptides 5 and 6 were obtained from the coupling of C-glycoside derivatives (3 and 4) to a free amino group of the side chain of short peptides (2, n = 1 and 3). A similar approach was developed for the synthesis of bivalent neoglycopeptides 8 and 9 in an automated manner. The successful syntheses of C-neoglycopeptides 5, 6, 8, and 9 are the first examples of coupling of C-glycosyl carboxyl derivatives to the amino groups of the side chains of resin-bound peptides.

Une expérience de nouvelle génération pour la QCD au HL-LHC.(Détecteur ITS-3 d’ALICE-2 et proposition d’expérience ALICE-3) (2022)

À l'horizon 2030, une expérience généraliste de nouvelle génération est proposée auprès du HL-LHC, ALICE-3. Exploitant une technologie de capteurs MAPS-Si ultra-fins, hyper-granulaires, souples et de grandes tailles, elle vise la détection et l'identification des particules chargées et photons jusqu'à de très basses impulsions transverses (pT > 0,05 GeV/c), sur une grande plage de rapidité (y ∈ [-4 ; +4]) et avec une lecture rapide (> 1 MHz). Le programme de physique s'étend de la mesure des sondes électromagnétiques de pT ultra-bas à la physique de précision dans le secteur du charme et de la beauté.
Damping ring kickers for the Next Linear Collider (2003)

The Next Linear Collider (NLC) uses a damping ring for the electron beam, a pre-damping ring and a main damping ring for the positron beam to reduce the beam emittances. The requirements of the main damping ring kickers are to bend a 2 GeV beam by an angle of 2 mrad over a length of 1.2 m. This results in a required field of 139 G. The magnet aperture is 30/spl times/30 mm. The pre-damping ring kicker requirements are based on a 2 GeV beam with a bend angle of 8 mrad in 1.2 m, or a field of 308 G. The magnet aperture is 62/spl times/45 mm (H/spl times/V). A pulse width is 130 ns with rise and fall times of less than 60 ns is the same for both the pre-damping ring and main damping ring kickers. The three rings operate at a 180 Hz repetition rate. The kicker magnets being developed to meet these requirements consist of two strip line conductors in the vacuum chamber, for the pre-damping ring kickers they may be loaded with ferrite, to give a matching impedance of 25 /spl Omega/. The buses are separated from magnetic flux linkage by a grounded flux excluder, which also serves as a low impedance return for the beam current. Both busses of the magnet are driven in parallel from the same modulator and are grounded at the end opposite the feed. The modulator uses two IGBT stacks which both act as opening switches in order to meet the rise time requirements.
α-MSH Counteracts the Suppressive Effect of Ultraviolet B on Nrf1/2 and Nrf-Dependent Gene Expression in Human Skin (2009)

Human skin is constantly exposed to UV light, the most ubiquitous environmental stressor. Here, we investigated the expression and regulation of Nrf1-3, transcription factors crucially involved in protection against oxidative stress, in human skin cells in vitro, ex vivo and in situ. In particular, we examined whether α-MSH, a UV-induced peptide, is capable of modulating Nrf1/2 and Nrf-dependent gene expression. Both Nrf1 and 2 were found to be expressed in various cutaneous cell types in vitro. Surprisingly, UVB irradiation at physiological doses (10 mJ/cm2) reduced Nrf1/2 and Nrf-dependent gene expression in normal keratinocytes and melanocytes in vitro as well as ex vivo in skin organ cultures. α-MSH alone significantly increased Nrf1/2 as well as Nrf-dependent HO-1, γ-glutamylcysteine-synthetase and glutathione-S-transferase Pi gene expression in both keratinocytes and melanocytes. This effect of α-MSH occurred at physiological doses, was due to transcriptional induction and mimicked by the artificial cAMP inducer forskolin. In silico promoter analysis of Nrf1/2 further identified several putative binding sites for activator protein 1 and cAMP response element binding protein, transcription factors typically activated by α-MSH. Importantly, α-MSH prevented or even over-compensated the UVB-induced suppression of Nrf1/2 and Nrf-dependent genes not only in normal keratinocytes and melanocytes in vitro but also in skin organ cultures. These findings, for the first time, show regulation of Nrf1/2 and Nrf-dependent genes by α-MSH. Our data also highlight a novel facet in the cytoprotective and anti-oxidative effector mechanisms of α-MSH and perhaps of related melanocortin peptides.
New sensor network design and retrofit method based on value of information (2010)

Abstract Traditionally, the sensor network design procedure was based on positioning sensors so that certain network monitoring capabilities (e.g., observability, redundancy, and error detectability) of key variables are assured at minimum sensors cost. We present a new approach that is based on maximizing economic value of information minus cost instead of the traditional approach that requires the satisfaction of performance targets. This article presents the conceptual aspect and computation issues of this new approach: the connection between the new approach and the traditional minimum‐cost approaches is explored and the computational methods to solve the proposed problem are presented. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2011
All-Copper Chip-to-Substrate Interconnects Part II. Modeling and Design (2008)

A fabrication technique involving electro- and electroless copper deposition was used to produce all-copper chip-to-substrate interconnects. This process electrolessly joins copper pillars, followed by annealing at . The process is tolerant to in-plane and through-plane misalignment and height variations. The mechanical compliance and electrical performance of copper-pillar chip-to-substrate interconnects is modeled in this paper. The elastic, thermomechanical behavior and electrical performance of the chip-to-substrate interconnects are related to the geometric parameters of the pillars (pitch, diameter, and aspect ratio) and physical properties of the interconnects (yield stress, coefficient of thermal expansion, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and electrical conductivity). The optimum pillar design is a trade-off between the mechanical compliance of the copper pillars and parasitic electrical effects. Copper pillars with a diameter of and height of are mechanically compliant and have parasitic inductance and capacitance less than and , respectively. A polymer collar improves the design space to diameter and height from 441 to .
Demonstration of thymus-derived cell surface antigens on various guinea-pig lymphoid cell populations by a micro-immune adherence technique. (1972)

A micro-immune adherence assay employing direct microscopic observation was used to detect the presence of thymus-derived cell antigenic specificities on guinea-pig lymph node cells, purified peritoneal exudate lymphocytes, and thymocytes using a heterologous burro anti-guinea-pig thymocyte serum. A method is described for the direct determination of thymus-derived cell specificity of anti-lymphocyte sera.
Finite-length analysis of low-density parity-check codes on the binary erasure channel (2002)

In this paper, we are concerned with the finite-length analysis of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes when used over the binary erasure channel (BEC). The main result is an expression for the exact average bit and block erasure probability for a given regular ensemble of LDPC codes when decoded iteratively. We also give expressions for upper bounds on the average bit and block erasure probability for regular LDPC ensembles and the standard random ensemble under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding. Finally, we present what we consider to be the most important open problems in this area.
Experimental investigation of finite amplitude distortion-based, second harmonic pulse echo ultrasonic imaging (1998)

The computational predictions for the imaging potential of the second harmonic produced by finite amplitude distortion were investigated with a simple experiment. A focused transducer containing concentric 2.5 MHz and 5.0 MHz elements was used to obtain a sequence of radio-frequency (r-f) backscattered signals using a tissue equivalent phantom. The 2.5 MHz element was used as the transmitter and the 5.0 MHz element was used as the receiver. At 0.68 cm in front of the geometric focal point of the transducer, the phantom contained a 0.6 cm diameter cylindrical volume which contained no scatterers. Each of these r-f signals was then processed to produce the corresponding fundamental (2.5 MHz-centered) and second harmonic (5.0 MHz-centered) envelopes. The contrast resolution obtained for the scatterer-free or cyst region of the envelopes was compared against the computed prediction and good agreement was obtained. The results of this experiment also suggest that the simple one-pulse scheme may be adequate for second harmonic imaging.
Trust-Based User-Role Assignment in Role-Based Access Control (2007)

Role based access control (RBAC) model is naturally suitable to organizations where users are assigned organizational roles with well-defined privileges. Nowadays, many organizations and enterprises such as banks, insurance industry and utility companies, provide online services to their very large number of users. This shows that assigning users to roles is a intolerable task and maintaining user-role assignment up-to-date is costly and error-prone. Also, with the increasing number of users, RBAC may have problems in prohibiting cheat and changing roles of users. To overcome these problems, user-role assignment decision can be made based on how much we trust him/her. In this paper, we propose a model to assign users to roles based on trustworthiness which is fuzzy in nature. The proposed model uses fuzzy relation equations to compute trust values.
Copper‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling of Boronic Esters with Aryl Iodides and Application to the Carboboration of Alkynes and Allenes (2014)

Abstract Copper‐catalyzed Suzuki–Miyaura‐type cross‐coupling and carboboration processes are reported. The cross‐couplings function well with a variety of substituted aryl iodides and aryl boronic esters and allows for orthogonal reactivity compared to palladium‐catalyzed processes. The carboboration method includes both alkynes and allenes and provides access to highly substituted and stereodefined vinyl boronic esters. The alkyne carboboration method is highlighted in the simple one‐pot synthesis of Tamoxifen.
buds-lab/building-data-genome-project-2: v1.0 (2020)

The BDG2 open data set consists of 3,053 energy meters from 1,636 non-residential buildings with a range of two full years (2016 and 2017) at an hourly frequency (17,544 measurements per meter resulting in approximately 53.6 million measurements). These meters are collected from 19 sites across North America and Europe, and they measure electrical, heating and cooling water, steam, and solar energy as well as water and irrigation meters. Part of these data was used in the Great Energy Predictor III (GEPIII) competition hosted by the ASHRAE organization in October-December 2019. This subset includes data from 2,380 meters from 1,448 buildings that were used in the GEPIII, a machine learning competition for long-term prediction with an application to measurement and verification. This paper describes the process of data collection, cleaning, and convergence of time-series meter data, the meta-data about the buildings, and complementary weather data. This data set can be used for further prediction benchmarking and prototyping as well as anomaly detection, energy analysis, and building type classification.
The Sustainer (2003)

Sustainers maintain the forward momentum of the organization, but position the organization for the long haul. As the organization goes through the Maturity phase of the lifecycle, the strategic focus shifts to one of market dominance, fighting to increase the organization's share of the market. Inevitably, as the organization succeeds in growing its market share, the increments by which it does so decrease, and each market share point becomes harder and harder to acquire. As the organization begins to struggle over tenths of a point of market share, the Sustainer's primary challenge becomes one of keeping excitement and motivation in the organization. No longer is the organization in a sprint as it was in the Growth phase, it has now settled into the grind of a never-ending marathon, and maintaining the organization's energy and vitality is an increasingly difficult task. With its worldwide reach and over a century of history behind it, The Coca-Cola Company epitomizes an organization that has been able to sustain itself from generation to generation in an extended Maturity phase, yet is able to keep excited about its future prospects for growth and an awareness of the dangers of complacency brought on by success. Douglas Daft, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, captures the essence of the Sustainer role: To be excited about the future, we simply have to look at the vast opportunity before us throughout the world. Every day, there are people who are only now enjoying their first Coke. For millions of other consumers, we are providing them Coca-Cola or other beverages they desire.

Modeling and analysis of differential signal Through Silicon Via (TSV) in 3D IC (2010)

For the higher bandwidth and the smaller form factor, high-speed I/O channel design in 3D IC becomes more important. To analyze the differential signaling method with the TSV (Through Silicon Via) in 3D IC, we propose the high-frequency scalable model for the differential signal TSV. With the proposed model, the electrical behavior of the differential signal TSV is analyzed and compared to that of a single-ended signal TSV in various point of views.
[Soil P availability in larch rhizosphere]. (2001)

Soil samples were collected from the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere of larch(Larix gmelini) stand by exfoliation method, and the variation of P concentration was analyzed. The results show that there was no significant difference between total P concentrations in the rhizosphere and the non-rhizosphere soil, while the concentration of available P in rizhosphere soil was significantly higher than that in the non-rhizosphere soil. The concentrations of available P in rhizosphere 12 years old and 40 years old larch rhizosphered by 12.6% and 23.4% respectively, indicating that larch roots had the effect of mobilizing soil phosphorus. The components of inorganic P in rhizospheric soil were different from those in non-rhizospheric soil. The concentration of O-P was lower, and the concentrations of Al-P, Fe-P, Ca-P, NH4Cl-P were higher in the rhizosphere. The pH of rhizospheric soil was lower than that of non-rhizospheric soil, but no further acidification was observed. There was no close relationship between pH variation and available P concentration in larch rhizosphere.

Ultrathin (8-14 nm) Conformal SiN for sub-20 nm Copper/Low-k Interconnects (2014)

A multilayer SiN barrier film with high breakdown field and low leakage current is developed for Cu low-k interconnects and is compared with the SiCNH barrier film used in previous technology nodes. Ultrathin SiN barrier cap films also provide high conformality and fill recessions in Cu lines as observed after CMP. The conformal ultrathin (8-14 nm) multilayer SiN cap is robust with higher breakdown field, lower leakage and forms a good oxidation barrier. The electromigration activation energy for a SiN cap layer of 10-12 nm dielectric thickness is about 0.9 eV.
Sensitivity to Angular and Radial Source Movements as a Function of Acoustic Complexity in Normal and Impaired Hearing (2017)

In contrast to static sounds, spatially dynamic sounds have received little attention in psychoacoustic research so far. This holds true especially for acoustically complex (reverberant, multisource) conditions and impaired hearing. The current study therefore investigated the influence of reverberation and the number of concurrent sound sources on source movement detection in young normal-hearing (YNH) and elderly hearing-impaired (EHI) listeners. A listening environment based on natural environmental sounds was simulated using virtual acoustics and rendered over headphones. Both near-far ('radial') and left-right ('angular') movements of a frontal target source were considered. The acoustic complexity was varied by adding static lateral distractor sound sources as well as reverberation. Acoustic analyses confirmed the expected changes in stimulus features that are thought to underlie radial and angular source movements under anechoic conditions and suggested a special role of monaural spectral changes under reverberant conditions. Analyses of the detection thresholds showed that, with the exception of the single-source scenarios, the EHI group was less sensitive to source movements than the YNH group, despite adequate stimulus audibility. Adding static sound sources clearly impaired the detectability of angular source movements for the EHI (but not the YNH) group. Reverberation, on the other hand, clearly impaired radial source movement detection for the EHI (but not the YNH) listeners. These results illustrate the feasibility of studying factors related to auditory movement perception with the help of the developed test setup.
On the coherence between changes in biota and geomagnetic reversals in the Phanerozoic (2011)

The data on geomagnetic reversals, organic changes, and lower-mantle plume magmatism in the Phanerozoic are collected and correlated. No direct relationship is revealed between the geomagnetic reversals, plumes, and biozones. However, the frequency of geomagnetic reversals is found to correlate to the frequency of biozonal alterations. We relate this inconsistency to the coupling of the two processes, which are mutually independent, with the long-term changes in the Earth’s rotation. The plumes are formed at the core-mantle boundary and, thus, the reversals should have a different source. We hypothesize that the change in the geomagnetic polarity is due to the nonuniform rotation of the inner core relative to the mantle in combination with the changes in the axial tilt of the Earth’s rotation.
