&#x201C;Seamless Autonomy&#x201D;: Removing autonomy level stratifications (2008)

The dispatching of robots into mission critical environments is becoming more and more commonplace as hardware evolves to a level of ruggedness demanded in these scenarios. Despite the advances in hardware platforms, novel control strategies to support effective human-robot interaction languish behind. Researchers at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Washington University in St. Louis have been working to bridge the gap between current robotic hardware readiness and its lack of efficient system usability. In 2007 the INL successfully deployed commercial off the shelf (COTS) robots targeted to Military and Hazmat Team usage outfitted with an intelligence payload in a series of chemical, biological, radiologic, nuclear, explosive (CBRNE) detection exercises using domain area experts from the US Navy Explosive Ordinance Disposal Command and the US Armys Chemical School at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. This paper examines the primitive behaviors that comprise the intelligent navigation payload used in the exercises. It also discusses Seamless Autonomy, a robot control strategy that blends the users knowledge of the task requirement with the robotpsilas interpretation of the local environment, providing a more appropriate task allocation between human and robot. Seamless autonomy simplifies the userpsilas interaction with the system by removing the need for the user to understand the individual behaviors or when they should be used. Instead the user is enabled to think in terms of the task goals.
Understanding cation effects in electrochemical CO2 reduction (2019)

Field-sensitive electrochemical reactions are controlled by electrode charging which is sensitive to the size of the electrolyte containing cations.
Highly simplified small molecular phosphorescent organic light emitting devices with a solution-processed single layer (2011)

A highly simplified single layer solution-processed phosphorescent organic light emitting device (PHOLED) with the maximum ηP 11.5 lm/W corresponding to EQE 9.6% has been demonstrated. The solution-processed device is shown having comparable even exceeding device performance to vacuum-processed PHOLED. The simplified device design strategy represents a pathway toward large area, low cost and high efficiency OLEDs in the future. The charge injection and conduction mechanisms in two solution- and vacuum-processed devices are also investigated by evaluating the temperature dependence of current density – voltage characteristics.
Effective spherical aberration of the cornea as a quantitative descriptor in corneal topography (1993)

Following excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy and other refractive surgical procedures, complaints of halos, glare, and monocular diplopia are common. These procedures increase the asphericity of the cornea, which may cause the optical distortions. We used ray tracing techniques to estimate the longitudinal monochromatic aberration of the cornea from the measured corneal topography (effective spherical aberration) in 15 normal eyes with varying degrees of astigmatism and in ten eyes after photorefractive keratectomy. Best spherical corrected visual acuity in the astigmatic eyes was highly correlated with effective spherical aberration (r = -0.9527, P < .001). In the eyes that had photorefractive keratectomy, the effective spherical aberration was highly correlated with measured glare visual acuity (r = 0.875, P < .002). These results suggest that effective spherical aberration is a valuable topographic measure that provides information about the optical performance of aspheric corneas.

General objectives include improvement of yield, disease resistance, earliness, and quality for diverse markets.
Two-Way Passive Beamforming Design for RIS-Aided FDD Communication Systems (2021)

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are able to provide passive beamforming gain via low-cost reflecting elements and hence improve wireless link quality. This work considers two-way passive beamforming design in RIS-aided frequency division duplexing (FDD) systems where the RIS reflection coefficients are the same for downlink and uplink and should be optimized for both directions simultaneously. We formulate a joint optimization of the transmit/receive beamformers at the base station (BS) and the RIS reflection coefficients. The objective is to maximize the weighted sum of the downlink and uplink rates, where the weighting parameter is adjustable to obtain different achievable downlink-uplink rate pairs. We develop an efficient manifold optimization algorithm to obtain a stationary solution. For comparison, we also introduce two heuristic designs based on one-way optimization, namely, time-sharing and phase-averaging. Simulation results show that the proposed manifold-based two-way optimization design significantly enlarges the achievable downlink-uplink rate region compared with the two heuristic designs. It is also shown that phase-averaging is superior to time-sharing when the number of RIS elements is large.
Non-volatile magnetic random access memories (MRAM) (2005)

Magnetic random access memories (MRAM) are a new non-volatile memory technology trying establish itself as a mainstream technology. This paper reviews briefly the most important progress realized in the past 10 years. Basic MRAM cell operation is described as well as the main subsisting design challenges. Special emphasis is placed on bit write strategies and their respective scaling perspectives.
AC susceptibility apparatus for use with a closed-cycle helium refrigerator (1989)

A low cost mutual inductance bridge is constructed using only operational amplifiers. The bridge is suitable for measurement of AC magnetic susceptibility for a wide variety of magnetic materials. The measurement is done using a closed-cycle helium refrigerator from 16 to 300 K where the minimum detectable moment is 6*10-10 A m2 (6*10-7 EMU). This value could be reduced to 1*10-10 A m2 (1*10-7 EMU) if liquid helium is used as a coolant. The frequency response of this bridge is better than any other conventional one as no inductor is used in the electronic circuitry.
Thermocouple protection systems for longer service life in slagging gasifier environments (2003)

To ensure reliable and efficient operation, gasifier operators would like to be able to continuously monitor system temperature. In many slagging gasifiers, temperature measurement is accomplished by several thermocouples embedded at various locations in the gasifier wall. Unfortunately, these thermocouple devices are very susceptible to early failure, either as the result of mechanical stresses or exposure to the harsh slagging environment, making long-term continuous temperature monitoring difficult. At the Albany Research Center, we are developing strategies to improve the ceramic protection assembly that is used to shield the thermocouple wires from direct exposure to the gasifier atmosphere. In this talk we will describe this multi-component ceramic protection system and present test results, which indicate that, the protection system should provide longer device service life in slagging gasifier environments.
[18F]FDG PET-MR in the Evaluation and Follow-Up of Incidental Bone Ischemic Lesions in a Mono-Center Cohort of Pediatric Patients Affected by Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (2023)

Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is one of the neoplasms with the best prognosis in children, adolescents and young adults, but sufferers are burdened by the possibility of developing adverse effects such as Bone Ischemic Lesions (BILs) which are lesions of the bone caused by the loss of/reduction in blood flow. The main goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate the role of [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG-PET-MR in the early detection of BILs in a single-center cohort of uniformly treated pediatric HL patients. BILs were assessed through PET-MR images as the appearance of medullary lesion surrounded by a serpiginous, tortuous border. From 2017 to 2022, 10/53 (18.9%) HL patients developed BILs which were mostly (8/10 patients) multifocal. Overall, 30 lesions were identified in the 10 asymptomatic patients, all with the above-mentioned features at MR and with very low [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG uptake. BILs were incidentally detected during HL therapy (<i>n</i> = 6) and follow-up (<i>n</i> = 4), especially in the long bones (66.7%). No factors correlated with the occurrence of BIL were identified. No patients developed complications. PET-MR is a sensitive combined-imaging technique for detecting BILs that are asymptomatic and self-limiting micro-ischemic lesions. BILs can be monitored by clinical follow-up alone both during and after therapy.
Private and verifiable interdomain routing decisions (2012)

Existing secure interdomain routing protocols can verify validity properties about individual routes, such as whether they correspond to a real network path. It is often useful to verify more complex properties relating to the route decision procedure - for example, whether the chosen route was the best one available, or whether it was consistent with the network's peering agreements. However, this is difficult to do without knowing a network's routing policy and full routing state, which are not normally disclosed. In this paper, we show how a network can allow its peers to verify a number of nontrivial properties of its interdomain routing decisions without revealing any additional information. If all the properties hold, the peers learn nothing beyond what the interdomain routing protocol already reveals; if a property does not hold, at least one peer can detect this and prove the violation. We present SPIDeR, a practical system that applies this approach to the Border Gateway Protocol, and we report results from an experimental evaluation to demonstrate that SPIDeR has a reasonable overhead.
mRNA vaccine: a potential therapeutic strategy (2021)

mRNA vaccines have tremendous potential to fight against cancer and viral diseases due to superiorities in safety, efficacy and industrial production. In recent decades, we have witnessed the development of different kinds of mRNAs by sequence optimization to overcome the disadvantage of excessive mRNA immunogenicity, instability and inefficiency. Based on the immunological study, mRNA vaccines are coupled with immunologic adjuvant and various delivery strategies. Except for sequence optimization, the assistance of mRNA-delivering strategies is another method to stabilize mRNAs and improve their efficacy. The understanding of increasing the antigen reactiveness gains insight into mRNA-induced innate immunity and adaptive immunity without antibody-dependent enhancement activity. Therefore, to address the problem, scientists further exploited carrier-based mRNA vaccines (lipid-based delivery, polymer-based delivery, peptide-based delivery, virus-like replicon particle and cationic nanoemulsion), naked mRNA vaccines and dendritic cells-based mRNA vaccines. The article will discuss the molecular biology of mRNA vaccines and underlying anti-virus and anti-tumor mechanisms, with an introduction of their immunological phenomena, delivery strategies, their importance on Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and related clinical trials against cancer and viral diseases. Finally, we will discuss the challenge of mRNA vaccines against bacterial and parasitic diseases.

Remote Sensing: a new feature caused by the GMIR on cosmic ray transport in the heliosheath (2011)

Using a combined GMIR and cosmic ray modulation model, we investigate the effect of the GMIR on cosmic ray transport in the heliosheath. In our simulation, the GMIR is approximated by a partial shell of particle diffusion barrier with enhanced magnetic field and plasma speed. It can propaga te inside the heliosphere. Our simulation has reproduced previous scenario of the GMIR effect. However, as we move our simulation location outside of the termination shock(2006 Voyager 1 location), it shows a new feature. Cosmic ray intensity will begin to decrease as GMIR arrives at Termination Shock(TS). Spacecraft inside heliosheath, such as Voyager 1, can remote sense when GMIR arrives at TS. This remote sensing feature provides us a way to estimate the radial distance of the TS and GMIR propagation speed.
The Policing of Religious Marriage Prohibitions in Israel: Religion, State, and Information Technology, 31 J. Marshall J. Info. Tech. & Privacy L. 23 (2014) (2014)

In this work, a novel La-doped βPbO<sub>2</sub> (Ti/SnO<sub>2</sub>-Sb/La-βPbO<sub>2</sub>) was prepared using electrodeposition method and applied to the degradation of prednisolone (PRD), 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ), and other typical organic pollutants. Compared with the conventional electrode Ti/SnO<sub>2</sub>-Sb/βPbO<sub>2</sub>, La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> doping enhanced oxygen evolution potential (OEP), reactive surface area, stability and repeatability of the electrode. The 10 g L<sup>-1</sup> of La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> doping exhibited the highest electrochemical oxidation capability of the electrode with [•OH]ss being determined at 5.6 × 10<sup>-13</sup> M. The quenching experiments were conducted to confirm the main oxidizing species (here: •OH) in the electrochemical process. The study showed that the pollutants were removed in the electrochemical (EC) process with different degradation rates and indicated that the second-order rate constant of organic pollutants towards •OH (k<sub>OP,•OH</sub>) has a linear relationship with the degradation rate of organic pollutants (k<sub>OP</sub>) in the electrochemical process. Another new finding in this work is that a regression line of k<sub>OP,•OH</sub> and k<sub>OP</sub> can be used to estimate k<sub>OP,•OH</sub> of an organic chemical, which cannot be determined using the competition method. k<sub>PRD,•OH</sub> and k<sub>8-HQ,•OH</sub> were determined to be 7.4 × 10<sup>9</sup> M<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> and (4.6-5.5) × 10<sup>9</sup> M<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. Compared with conventional supporting electrolyte (like SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup>), H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> and HPO<sub>4</sub><sup>2-</sup> improved k<sub>PRD</sub> and k<sub>8-HQ</sub> by 1.3-1.6-fold, while SO<sub>3</sub><sup>2-</sup> and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> inhibited k<sub>PRD</sub> and k<sub>8-HQ</sub> significantly, down to 80%. Additionally, the degradation pathway of 8-HQ was proposed based on the detection of intermediates from GC-MS.
Next2You: Robust Copresence Detection Based on Channel State Information (2022)

Context-based copresence detection schemes are a necessary prerequisite to building secure and usable authentication systems in the Internet of Things ( IoT ) . Such schemes allow one device to verify proximity of another device without user assistance utilizing their physical context (e.g., audio). The state-of-the-art copresence detection schemes suffer from two major limitations: (1) They cannot accurately detect copresence in low-entropy context (e.g., empty room with few events occurring) and insufficiently separated environments (e.g., adjacent rooms), (2) They require devices to have common sensors (e.g., microphones) to capture context, making them impractical on devices with heterogeneous sensors. We address these limitations, proposing Next2You , a novel copresence detection scheme utilizing channel state information (CSI). In particular, we leverage magnitude and phase values from a range of subcarriers specifying a Wi-Fi channel to capture a robust wireless context created when devices communicate. We implement Next2You on off-the-shelf smartphones relying only on ubiquitous Wi-Fi chipsets and evaluate it based on over 95 hours of CSI measurements that we collect in five real-world scenarios. Next2You achieves error rates below 4%, maintaining accurate copresence detection both in low-entropy context and insufficiently separated environments. We also demonstrate the capability of Next2You to work reliably in real-time and its robustness to various attacks.
Regulating Radioactive Air Emissions from Nuclear Generating Plants: A Primer for Attorneys, Decisionmakers, and Intervenors (1983)

In the 1977 Amendments to the Clean Air Act, Congress granted to the States and their political subdivisions authority to regulate radioactive air emissions from nuclear generating plants. This Article is designed to provide an introduction to the technical issues that attorneys, decisionmakers, and intervenors must consider when a State contemplates establishing radioactive air emission standards independent of, and possibly more stringent than, federal standards. The article contains an extensive analysis of: (1) the mechanisms by which radionuclides are created at nuclear generating plants and released to the environment; (2) the manner in which radionuclides move through the environment to eventually harm receptors; (3) the ways in which radionuclides affect human organisms; (4) the role of atmospheric and environmental transport modeling in establishing and enforcing radioactive air emission standards, including the potential weaknesses of such modeling; (5) the adequacy of existing federal standards; and (6) prospects or improving those standards. The article also contains an extensive discussion of the various ways in which environmental standards may be created and expressed.
Isolation of PGP 9.5, a New Human Neurone‐Specific Protein Detected by High‐Resolution Two‐Dimensional Electrophoresis (1983)

Protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 is a new brain-specific protein originally detected by high-resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of the soluble proteins of human brain and other organs. We have purified this protein from human brain and raised a rabbit antihuman PGP 9.5 antiserum. The protein has a monomer molecular weight of approximately 27,000 and is present in brain at concentrations at least 50 times greater than in other organs. Immunoperoxidase labelling has localised PGP 9.5 to neurones in the human cerebral cortex with no evidence of staining of glial elements. PGP 9.5 is estimated to be present in brain at concentrations of 200-500 micrograms/g wet weight and represents a major protein component of neuronal cytoplasm. This new neurone-specific cytoplasmic marker may prove useful in studies of neuronal development and in the detection of neuronal damage in disease of the nervous system.
Microscopic variational lattice liquid cluster model for ionic correlations inα−AgI (1981)

A mean-field model for mobile ion configurations in $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{g}\mathrm{I}$ is proposed that permits the first simultaneous calculation of the site-disorder entropy and the ion diffusion activation energy. The model uses only one adjustable parameter, the mobile-ion effective charge, and it is in very good agreement with experiment. It shows that the mobile ions should be regarded as a lattice liquid and not a lattice gas.
Fourth-order dispersion mediated solitonic radiations in HC-PCF cladding (2008)

We observe experimentally, for the first time to our knowledge, the simultaneous emission of two strong conjugate resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons. The effect is observed in a small waveguiding glass feature within the cladding of a Kagome hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. We demonstrate theoretically that the phenomenon is attributed to the unusually high fourth-order dispersion coefficient of the waveguiding feature.
Antioxidative efficacy of parallel and combined supplementation with coenzyme Q10 and d-α-Tocopherol in mildly hypercholesterolemic subjects: a randomized placebo-controlled clinical study (2000)

It has been claimed that coenzyme Q10 (Q10) would be an effective plasma antioxidant since it can regenerate plasma vitamin E. To test separate effects and interaction between Q10 and vitamin E in the change of plasma concentrations and in the antioxidative efficiency, we carried out a double-masked, double-blind clinical trial in 40 subjects with mild hypercholesterolemia undergoing statin treatment. Subjects were randomly allocated to parallel groups to receive either Q10 (200 mg daily), d-alpha-tocopherol (700 mg daily), both antioxidants or placebo for 3 months. In addition we investigated the pharmacokinetics of Q10 in a separate one-week substudy. In the group that received both antioxidants, the increase in plasma Q10 concentration was attenuated. Only vitamin E supplementation increased significantly the oxidation resistance of isolated LDL. Simultaneous Q10 supplementation did not increase this antioxidative effect of vitamin E. Q10 supplementation increased and vitamin E decreased significantly the proportion of ubiquinol of total Q10, an indication of plasma redox status in vivo. The supplementations used did not affect the redox status of plasma ascorbic acid. In conclusion, only vitamin E has antioxidative efficiency at high radical flux ex vivo. Attenuation of the proportion of plasma ubiquinol of total Q10 in the vitamin E group may represent in vivo evidence of the Q10-based regeneration of the tocopheryl radicals. In addition, Q10 might attenuate plasma lipid peroxidation in vivo, since there was an increased proportion of plasma ubiquinol of total Q10.
Security performance (2003)

Several protocols and mechanisms aims to enforce the various dimensions of security in applications ranging from e-mail to e-commerce transactions. Most use encryption as a basic component. Adding such mechanisms and procedures to applications and systems does not come cheaply, however. Security is intrusive and increases the total cost of computer-system ownership. He also indicates that security is about trade-offs, rather than absolutes, and that we should strive for good-enough security, not for more security than necessary. This thought underlies the following description of some security trade-offs in the areas of performance and scalability. My analysis is quantitative in nature and aims to illustrate the effect of using a specific security protocol or set of cryptographic algorithms on a computer system's performance.
