Vertical Deformation Characterization of Planar Spiral Structure (2019)

This paper verifies whether the deformation characteristics of a vertically deformed planar spiral structure can be theoretically explained by pure vertical and inclined deformation. The vertical deformation has the following two features: one is that the amount of deformation is larger in the outer beam than the inner; and the other is that the amount of vertical deformation of the beam increases in an oscillatory manner, rather than monotonic increase. However, although it has been proposed that the two deformation characteristics is explained by pure vertical and inclined deformation, it has not been discussed theoretically. In this study, planar spiral structures with different beam widths and thicknesses are fabricated by laser processing of PET film, and the amount of vertical deformation is measured and compared with theory. We confirmed that the deformation characteristics of the planar spiral structure in practice could be reproduced by the theory.
A Rheological Investigation of Carbon Nanotube Grease (2019)

The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a thickening agent in polyalphaolefin oils to create CNT-grease has significant merit. Given the abnormally high thermal conductivities of CNTs, it is conceivable that a CNT-grease would exhibit excellent thermal conductivity. The rheological response of CNT-greases is important for two reasons: to determine if the grease will have sufficient lubricating properties and to provide critical information on the structure and particle-particle interactions of CNT suspensions. The viscoelastic response and evidence of creep recovery support the theory of the stable 3 Dimensional network (3D) formation in the CNT-grease. The elastic response indicates that significant energy is needed to dismember the network structure and initiate viscous flow. The macroscopic rheological investigation provides additional information regarding the structure of CNT-grease and particle-particle interactions at high SWNT concentrations, ~10.0 wt. The knowledge gained concerning the structure of CNT suspensions will allow its manipulation to achieve better thermal properties.
Civilian Protection in Mexico & Guatemala: Humanitarian Engagement with Druglords & Gangs (2012)

Humanitarian engagement strategies have utility in conflicts with significant criminal elements. The drug trade through Latin America links complex criminal networks from across international borders from South to North America. At both ends and in between, civilians suffer the cost of violence associated with illicit trafficking. This article contests the dominant political paradigm that has prioritized destroying criminal organizations over protecting civilians and argues that conflict resolution and peacebuilding strategies can and should be considered in cases where the armed non-state actors are called gangs and druglords instead of militias and warlords. Transforming the global drug trade is a longterm project, during which the only ethical approach is to reduce violence and protect human security.

Utilization of blade pitch control in low wind speed for floating offshore wind turbines (2014)

This paper investigates a potential advantage of utilizing blade pitch control over the conventional fixed blade pitch strategy in low wind speed for horizontal-axis offshore floating wind turbines mounted on a barge platform. To examine the advantage, simulation studies with a 5MW wind turbine model in the software FAST are conducted. The generated power and the platform pitch movement are compared among closed-loop systems with three feedback controllers, that is, a baseline controller with fixed blade pitch, a linear-parameter-varying (LPV) controller with fixed blade pitch, and an LPV controller with varying blade pitch. The LPV controllers are gain-scheduled in terms of wind speed. For the design of LPV controllers, an LPV model which represents a family of linearized models of the nonlinear model in FAST over the low wind speed range is employed, and a well-known LPV controller design technique is applied to the LPV model. Simulation results demonstrate that the utilization of blade pitch control can reduce the platform pitch oscillation by more than 5 percent compared to fixed blade pitch strategies, possibly by slight reduction in power capture. This suggests the usage of blade pitch control in low wind speed when the cost decrease due to the load reduction outweighs the cost increase caused by the loss of power generation.
Collaborative Study of the Colorimetric Determination of Nifursol in Feeds (1971)

Abstract A collaborative study of a method for nifursol in feeds bas been conducted. The drug is extracted from the feed with DMF. Most of the extracted interferences are removed from the DMF solution by chromatographing the sample through an alumina column; the nifursol is then reacted with phenylhydrazine to form the 5-nitrofurfural phenylhydrazone, which is extracted into toluene and determined spectrophotometrically at 555 nm immediately after the addition of Hyamine-OH. The average recovery of all samples from 10 collaborators was 101.4%, with an average coefficient of variation of 7.88%. The method is recommended for adoption as official first action.

Debugging the Execution of Distributed Algorithms over Anonymous Networks (2012)

Computing the global state of an asynchronous distributed system is a widely studied problem and finds a plethora of solutions under different assumptions. Most of them do not correspond to real-life requirements. In this paper, we address the global snapshot and the global predicate evaluation problems in anonymous and asynchronous networks. We present a fully-distributed solution which allows the debugging and the monitoring of such networks. We show that our contribution can be easily implemented and added as a new feature in existing simulation softwares by describing specifications of the used model and details of the development process. As an illustration, a debugging layer is implemented on the ViSiDiA platform.
Performance Analysis of Polar Codes Over Fox’s H-Fading Channels With RHI and IQI Impairments (2023)

This study examined the error probability performance of polar codes across Fox’s <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -fading (FHF) channels while taking into account in-phase and quadrature-phase imbalance (IQI), as well as residual hardware impairments (RHI). This fading model generalizes most of the commonly used fading and turbulence models where Málaga- <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathcal {M}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> turbulence is taken into account as a specific case of FHF in this paper. Specifically, an upper bound on block error probability (BLER) for the successive cancellation (SC) decoding method of polar codes is derived in terms of the Fox’s <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$H$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -function. According to numerical results, by lengthening polar codes and changing the properties of fading channels, it is possible to decrease the impact of system impairments on the error probability performance.
Biopolypropylene-Based Wood Plastic Composites Reinforced with Mango Peel Flour and Compatibilized with an Environmentally Friendly Copolymer from Itaconic Acid (2022)

[EN] This work reports on the successful development of biopolypropylene/mango peel flour (bioPP/MPF) composites using extrusion and injection molding processes. The compatibility between bioPP and MPF is improved through the use of PP-g-IA (3 phr) as a compatibilizer (which is prepared by reactive extrusion REX) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) (1 phr) as a cross-linker. The mechanical, morphological, thermal, thermomechanical, chemical, colorimetric, water absorption, and flowability properties are characterized and analyzed. The results show that MPF (30 wt %) compatibilized with PP-g-IA and DCP increased the stiffness of bioPP in terms of Young¿s modulus values. Elongation at break also shows very promising results, with a maximum value of almost 30% for the bioPP/MPF/PP-g-IA/DCP sample. PP-g-IA and DCP seem to exert a synergetic effect. Thermal stability is also improved as a result of these additives, as well as crystallinity, which is increased due to an heterogeneous nucleation phenomenon, enhanced by a higher dispersion of MPF particles in the matrix. Moreover, the excellent mechanical results are verified in FESEM images, where a very narrow gap between the MPF particles and the bioPP matrix is appreciated.

Antibody-Catalyzed Porphyrin Metallation (1990)

An antibody elicited to a distorted N-methyl porphyrin catalyzed metal ion chelation by the planar porphyrin. At fixed Zn2+ and Cu2+ concentrations, the antibody-catalyzed reaction showed saturation kinetics with respect to the substrate mesoporphyrin IX (2) and was inhibited by the hapten, N-methylmesoporphyrin IX (1). The turnover number of 80 hour-1 for antibody-catalyzed metallation of 2 with Zn2+ compares with an estimated value of 800 hour-1 for ferrochelatase. The antibody also catalyzed the insertion of Co2+ and Mn2+ into 2, but it did not catalyze the metallation of protoporphyrin IX (3) or deuteroporphyrin IX (4). The antibody has high affinity for several metalloporphyrins, suggesting an approach to developing antibody-heme catalysts for redox or electron transfer reactions.
Investigation on the Combined Effect of VSC-Based Sources and Synchronous Condensers Under Grid Unbalanced Faults (2019)

The short circuit response of voltage source converters (VSCs) could be significantly different from that of synchronous condensers (SCs) under unbalanced faults. This paper investigates the combined effect of VSC-based sources and synchronous condensers under grid unbalanced faults considering two groups of VSC fault-ride-through control strategies. It aims to provide an evaluation of typical control strategies and to explore the impact of equipping a synchronous condenser at the point of common coupling (PCC). By examining the combined short-circuit currents, PCC voltages, DC-side voltages, and system frequency responses, this study points out the merits and demerits of the examined control strategies, illustrates the benefits of synchronous condensers on mitigating the disadvantages of certain control strategies, and provides suggestions on selecting the control strategies for the VSC when incorporating a synchronous condenser at the PCC.
Seizures and risk of epilepsy in anti‐NMDAR, anti‐LGI1, and anti‐GABABR encephalitis (2020)

Our study suggested that immunotherapy delay and IEDs were associated with the development of epilepsy in patients with anti-NMDAR, anti-LGI1, and anti-GABA<sub>B</sub> R encephalitis. Early diagnosis and treatment were required, and particular consideration should be given to patients with these risk factors.
A Bayesian regression tree approach to identify the effect of nanoparticles’ properties on toxicity profiles (2015)

We introduce a Bayesian multiple regression tree model to characterize relationships between physico-chemical properties of nanoparticles and their in-vitro toxicity over multiple doses and times of exposure. Unlike conventional models that rely on data summaries, our model solves the low sample size issue and avoids arbitrary loss of information by combining all measurements from a general exposure experiment across doses, times of exposure, and replicates. The proposed technique integrates Bayesian trees for modeling threshold effects and interactions, and penalized B-splines for dose- and time-response surface smoothing. The resulting posterior distribution is sampled by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. This method allows for inference on a number of quantities of potential interest to substantive nanotoxicology, such as the importance of physico-chemical properties and their marginal effect on toxicity. We illustrate the application of our method to the analysis of a library of 24 nano metal oxides.
Studies in Refractive Index I and II (1933)

In Part I four methods are described for measuring the refractive index of strongly absorbing liquids. The first two of these depend upon determination of the critical angle of reflection of monochromatic light at a glass-liquid interface. In the third, white light was reflected at angles near the critical angle and was then allowed to enter a spectrograph. Microdensitometer records were made of the resulting spectrograms. Peaks in the record correspond to maxima of the refractive index. In the fourth method the transmitted light was examined visually in a spectroscope. In Part II these methods have been applied to a saturated aqueous solution of potassium permanganate. As a result a dispersion curve was found with a strong anomaly centering about 5473A and in addition a series of minor anomalies corresponding to the banded structure of the absorption spectrum. It is concluded that the band at 5473A is that caused by the fundamental frequency of an electronic transition in the manganese atom.
Testing Cyber-Physical Systems Using a Line-Search Falsification Method (2021)

&lt;div&gt;Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are complex and exhibit both continuous and discrete dynamics, hence it is difficult to guarantee that they satisfy given specifications, i.e., the properties that must be fulfilled by the system. Falsification of temporal logic properties is a testing approach that searches for counterexamples of a given specification, which can be used to increase the confidence that a CPS does fulfill its specifications. Falsification can be done using random search methods or optimization methods. In this paper, a method based on combining random parameters together with considering extreme combinations of parameter values is proposed. Evaluation results on benchmark problems show that this method performs well on many of the problems. Optimization methods are needed when optimization-free methods do not perform well in falsification. The efficiency of the falsification is affected by the optimization methods used to search for inputs that might falsify the specifications. This paper presents a new optimization method for falsification, Line-search falsification, where optimization is done over line segments through a vector of inputs in the n-dimensional parameter space. The evaluation results on the benchmark problems show that using this method improves the falsification performance by reducing the number of simulations necessary to falsify a specification.&lt;/div&gt;
Nitro and Amino Substitution in the D-Ring of 5-(2-Dimethylaminoethyl)- 2,3-methylenedioxy-5H-dibenzo[c,h][1,6]naphthyridin-6-ones:  Effect on Topoisomerase-I Targeting Activity and Cytotoxicity (2003)

5H-8,9-dimethoxy-5-(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-2,3-methylenedioxydibenzo[c,h][1,6]naphthyridin-6-one exhibits potent TOP1-targeting activity and pronounced antitumor activity. It was hypothesized that replacement of the two methoxyl groups with a nitro substituent would allow for retention of similar activity. In this study 8-, 9-, and 10-nitro-5H-2,3-methylenedioxy-5-(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)dibenzo[c,h][1,6]naphthyridin-6-one and their amino derivatives were synthesized and assessed for their relative TOP1-targeting activity and cytotoxicity. In the case of both the 8- and 9-nitro analogues, their TOP1-targeting activity and cytotoxicity are greater than that of camptothecin and comparable to that of 5H-8,9-dimethoxy-5-(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-2,3-methylenedioxydibenzo[c,h][1,6]naphthyridin-6-one.

Dual-label Deep LSTM Dereverberation For Speaker Verification (2018)

In this paper, we present a reverberation removal approach for speaker verification, utilizing dual-label deep neural networks (DNNs). The networks perform feature mapping between the spectral features of reverberant and clean speech. Long short term memory recurrent neural networks (LSTMs) are trained to map corrupted Mel filterbank (MFB) features to two sets of labels: i) the clean MFB features, and ii) either estimated pitch tracks or the fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrogram of clean speech. The performance of reverberation removal is evaluated by equal error rates (EERs) of speaker verification experiments.
Decentralized Access Control for IoT Data Using Blockchain and Trusted Oracles (2019)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected electromechanical devices that have limited computational, networking, and storage capabilities. IoT is now widely used in healthcare, smart cars, smart grids, smart homes, smart manufacturing, and smart cities. IoT devices sense, monitor, and collect data where it can be shared with legitimate users. IoT data can be aggregated, stored and made available by multiple IoT data hosting providers. IoT data storage, management, and access involve multiple stakeholders that many include admins, owners of IoT devices, data repository hosts and providers, normal users, etc. Decentralized control and trusted management of such IoT data become critical, in which the management and access control of data is not centralized, i.e., under the control of a single entity. To date, the available methods for for access control in IoT systems are mainly centralized. In this paper, we propose a decentralized access control system for IoT data using blockchain and trusted oracles. We use features of blockchain and smart contracts to propose a decentralized, scalable, and secure management solution for accessing IoT data. In addition, we use oracles as gateways that interface with the blockchain, IoT data hosts, and remote users to provide decentralized, trusted, and uniform source feeds for IoT data. The paper also presents architectural design, interactions, logic flow, algorithms, implementation details, along with cost, computation, and security evaluation. The full code of the developed smart contracts is made publicly available at GitHub.
