Weak ferromagnetism in the ferroelectric BiFeO3–ReFeO3–BaTiO3 solid solutions (Re=Dy,La) (2004)

The binary and ternary solid solutions, BiFeO3–BaTiO3, BiFeO3–ReFeO3–BaTiO3 (Re=Dy,Pr,La), and BiFeO3–BaFeO2.5–BaTiO3 have been explored for attaining ferromagnetic ferroelectrics in bulk ceramics and understanding the effect of rare earth orthoferrites ReFeO3 on the spontaneous magnetization. The coexistence of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity has been observed over the composition range of 0.2⩽x⩽0.4 in the (1−x)BiFeO3–xBaTiO3 at room temperature. The introduction of DyFeO3 and LaFeO3 expands the composition range of the coexistence. The most superior ferromagnetic ferroelectrics obtained in this study are the 0.65BiFeO3–0.025DyFeO3–0.325BaTiO3 (Pr=5 μC/cm2,Mr=0.1 emu/g), 0.4875BiFeO3–0.025DyFeO3–0.4875BaTiO3 (Pr=7 μC/cm2,Mr=0.06 emu/g), and 0.475BiFeO3–0.05LaFeO3–0.475BaTiO3 (Pr=3.2 μC/cm2,Mr=0.2 emu/g). The spontaneous magnetization strongly depends on both the type and amount of the substitution components, DyFeO3, LaFeO3, PrFeO3, and BaFeO2.5 rather than the degree of G-type antiferromagnetic ordering. The origin of the spontaneous magnetization has been discussed in terms of antiferromagnetic ordering and charge carrier mediation.
Modulation of Ca2+ channel selectivity and cardiac contraction by photorelease of Ca2+ (1989)

The effect of rapid increases of extracellular Ca2+ concentration on tension development and Ca2+ channel selectivity has been investigated in frog (Rana pipiens) ventricular myocardium using a novel light-sensitive Ca2+ chelator, dimethoxy-nitrophen. Dimethoxy-nitrophen is a photolabile tetracarboxylate Ca2+ chelator that on photolysis to dicarboxylate fragments alters its affinity (Kd) for Ca2+ from 5 X 10(-9) to 2 X 10(-3) M. A single 160-microseconds ultraviolet light pulse induced the release of approximately 80-100 microM Ca2+ with a half-time of 200 microseconds. In low extracellular Ca2+ concentration, Na+ current through the Ca2+ channel was blocked by photorelease of extracellular Ca2+ in less than 500 microseconds; nevertheless, 60-80 ms were required to activate or enhance tension. Enhancement of tension was more effective when Ca2+ was released during the activation of the Ca2+ channel than during its inactivation. The voltage dependence of enhanced tension, caused by photorelease of Ca2+, was bell shaped and was similar to that of Ca2+ current. These findings suggest that Ca2+ transport through the Ca2+ channel is the primary mechanism for the transport of Ca2+ to activate tension in the frog heart. The use of dimethoxy-nitrophen makes it possible to examine the rapid kinetics of the Ca-dependent processes involved in regulation of channel function and contraction.
Effect of Substitution, Ring Size, and Counterion on the Intermediates Generated in the Gold-Catalyzed Intramolecular Hydroalkoxylation of Allenes (2016)

The reaction of 2,2-diphenylhepta-4,5-dien-1-ol (4) with (L)AuOTs [L = P(t-Bu)2o-biphenyl] and the reactions of 2,2-diphenylhepta-5,6-dien-1-ol (10) with either (L)AuOTs or (L)AuCl/AgSbF6 have been investigated. For both substrates, the mono(gold) vinyl complexes generated via C–O bond formation have been independently synthesized, and the protodeauration behavior has been investigated. Analysis of the reaction of 4 with (L)AuOTs supported a mechanism involving rapid and reversible C–O bond formation followed by rate-limiting and stereochemically determining protodeauration. Analysis of the reaction of 10 with (L)AuOTs was in accord with irreversible C–O bond formation followed by rapid auration of the resulting mono(gold) vinyl complex. In comparison, analysis of the reaction of 10 with (L)AuCl/AgSbF6 pointed to a mechanism involving rate-limiting C–O bond formation followed by rapid protodeauration of the resulting mono(gold) vinyl complex without competitive auration.
A review of literature supporting the development of practice guidelines for teledermatology in Australia (2020)

Despite the potential of teledermatology to increase access to dermatology services and improve patient care, it is not widely practised in Australia. In an effort to increase uptake of teledermatology, Australian-specific practice guidelines for teledermatology are being developed by the Australasian College of Dermatologist. This paper reports finding from literature reviews that were undertaken to inform the development of these guidelines. Results cover the following sections: Modalities of teledermatology; Patient selection and consent; Imaging; Quality and safety; Privacy and security; Communication; and Documentation and retention. The document educates providers about the benefits and limitations of telehealth while articulating how to enhance patient care and reduce risk when practicing teledermatology.
Optimized transmission and resource allocation strategies for ultra-reliable communications (2016)

Fifth generation (5G) wireless systems will provide connectivity for a wide range of new applications with diverse requirements. In part, the network needs to support ultra-reliable communications with low-latency (URLLC) for mission-critical applications. For these applications, the generated data should be delivered with a limited number of transmission attempts with high success probability. This paper considers the optimal transmission and resource allocations for URLLC in cellular systems. The resource allocations are derived for the fixed and adaptive transmission attempt assignments. The analysis results reveal that both fixed and adaptive transmission assignments, applicable to automatic repeat request (ARQ) and hybrid ARQ (HARQ) schemes, can reduce the required resources compared to the equal transmission assignment.
Gradient watersheds in morphological scale-space (1996)

After introducing several results relating to the modification of the homotopy of gradient functions based on extrema in the base image and building on earlier results in morphological scale-space, we introduce a scale-space monotonicity theorem for regions of an image defined by watersheds of a gradient function modified to retain only the local minima or maxima of its smoothed parent image. We then illustrate the theorem with an example of the scale-space extraction of texture features from the nuclei of cervical cells.

Slickline With Fiber-Optic Distributed Temperature Monitoring for Water-Injection and Gas Lift Systems Optimization in Mexico (2005)

Abstract Sensa tube with fiber optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) has provided useful real time information for Pemex in various wells through thermal analysis of distributed temperature data. Four case studies are presented in this paper: the first case corresponds to a water injection profile survey at a Northern project. The other cases are related to gas lift optimization in the Northern and Southern Mexican regions. As a part of the Pemex operated secondary recovery project in a Northern field, Fiber Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing technology has been used to monitor the water injection and warm-back temperature profiles across two perforated and fractured intervals, revealing the preferential flow into a one interval. The DTS thermal analysis provided important information to Pemex, which used the results as a guideline to take corrective action to increase the efficiency of their secondary oil recovery project. Pressure transient data was also collected to aid in the interpretation of the system using memory pressure gauges run on the fiber optic Sensa tube. The remaining case studies will demonstrate DTS gas lift systems optimization projects. One of these cases shows an example of an efficient gas lift system, meaning no need of post work-over well intervention. The other two case studies reveal issues with the gas lift system design, which compromised the lift efficiency and consequently the well productivity. Data acquisition using a portable fiber-optic Sensa tube unit has provided important information in a cost effective way. The DTS measurement provides a real-time and continuous temperature profile of the entire well, enabling the operator to monitor simultaneously all the gas lift valves, which is not possible to achieve with the usual time-consuming PLT surveys. Ultimately, the DTS monitoring has proven to be an efficient and reliable tool, saving the operator well intervention time and allowing immediate rectification of the issues observed.
Cytokine network and dysregulated apoptosis in atopic dermatitis (2001)

Activation and skin-selective homing of peripheral blood memory/effector T cells and effector functions in the skin represent sequential immunological events in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). T cells infiltrating the skin utilize the cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) and other receptors to recognize and cross the vascular endothelium. In the peripheral blood of AD patients, both CD4+ and CD8 subsets of CLA+CD45RO+ T cells are in an activated state with high CD25, HLA-DR, and CD40-ligand expression. They express upregulated Fas and Fas-ligand and undergo activation-induced apoptosis. After homing to skin these T cells form dermal infiltrates which play a key role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Skin-infiltrating T cells in AD are protected from activation-induced cell death, although they express both Fas and Fas-ligand. They are protected from apoptosis by cytokines such as IL-2, IL-4, and IL-15 and extracellular matrix components such as fibronectin and transferrin. CLA+, skin-homing T cells may play a role in peripheral blood eosinophilia and hyper IgE production by high IL-5 and IL-13 expression, respectively. These T cells secrete IFN-gamma in the skin, which upregulates Fas on keratinocytes and renders them susceptible to apoptosis. Keratinocyte apoptosis is induced by Fas-ligand, either soluble or expressed on the surface of T cells, leading to eczema formation. Here we discuss the mechanisms of skin-selective T cell homing and activation, and emphasize the concept of dysregulated apoptosis of T cells, eosinophils, and keratinocytes as essential pathogenetic episodes in AD and other eczematous disorders.
Percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2015)

Based upon moderate quality evidence, our review does not support a role for vertebroplasty for treating osteoporotic vertebral fractures in routine practice. We found no demonstrable clinically important benefits compared with a sham procedure and subgroup analyses indicated that results did not differ according to duration of pain ≤ 6 weeks versus > 6 weeks. Sensitivity analyses confirmed that open trials comparing vertebroplasty with usual care are likely to have overestimated any benefit of vertebroplasty. Correcting for these biases would likely drive any benefits observed with vertebroplasty towards the null, in keeping with findings from the placebo-controlled trials.Numerous serious adverse events have been observed following vertebroplasty. However due to the small number of events, we cannot be certain about whether or not vertebroplasty results in a clinically important increased risk of new symptomatic vertebral fractures and/or other serious adverse events. Patients should be informed about both the lack of high quality evidence supporting benefit of vertebroplasty and its potential for harm.

Application of FRF-Based Inverse Substructuring Analysis to Vehicle NVH Problems (2003)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;A multi-coordinate FRF-based inverse substructuring approach is proposed to partition a vehicle system into two or more substructures, which are coupled at discrete interface points. The joint and free substructure dynamic characteristics are then extracted from the coupled system response spectra. Depending on the actual form of the structural coupling terms, three forms of the coupling matrix are assumed here. The most general one constitutes the non-diagonal form, and the other two simpler cases are the block-diagonal and purely diagonal representations that can be used to simplify testing process and overcome computational problems. The paper is focused on the investigation of the durability of these three formulations when the input FRFs are noise contaminated. A finite element model of a simplified vehicle system is used as the case study. In general, simulation results show that the non-diagonal and block-diagonal formulations are very sensitive to the input noise, while the purely diagonal formulation is much less noise sensitive. This is because the matrix inversion process involved in the non-diagonal and block-diagonal formulations cause the magnification of the input error. The singular value decomposition technique is then applied to address this problem. It turns out the performance of the non-diagonal and block-diagonal formulations can still be improved significantly when the input FRFs are heavily noise contaminated.&lt;/div&gt;
Grafted organic derivatives of kaolinite: I. Synthesis, chemical and rheological characterization (2005)

Abstract Several new interlayer-grafted derivatives of kaolinite were synthesized by esterification of inner-surface hydroxyl groups with alkanols, diols and glycol mono-ethers starting with the dimethyl sulphoxide intercalate. The derivatives were characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry, thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The grafted molecules are arranged in monolayers between the kaolinite layers, with typical basal spacings of ~11.3 Å. Rheological studies of aqueous dispersions of the modified kaolinites revealed an exponential increase of the yield value and apparent viscosity with increasing alkyl chain length of the grafted molecules.

Confinement of Ruthenium Oxides Volatilized during Nuclear Fuels Reprocessing (1980)

While many materials have been suggested and employed as trapping agents for gaseous oxides of fission product ruthenium volatilized during nuclear fuels reprocessing, none that is known to form thermodynamically stable compounds with ruthenium has been utilized. We have employed alkaline earth metal compounds for this purpose because of their ability to form stable mixed metal oxide phases with ruthenium. Results of experiments in which RuO4 was volatilized from either a solid source (RuO2·xH2O) or from solution {[Ru(NO)(NO3)3] in HNO3} and passed through beds of alkaline earth metal carbonates and calcium oxide held at 600 to 750°C have demonstrated that compounds of formulation MRuO3 (M = calcium, strontium, barium) are formed. Under oxidizing conditions, these materials exist as stable ceramic phases, whereas under reducing conditions, they are transformed into intimate mixtures of the alkaline earth metal oxide and nonvolatile ruthenium metal.

Precipitating Carbonate Process for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture. Techno-Economic Evaluation (2015)

Abstract Commercially available post-combustion CO2 capture technologies are based on aqueous amine solutions. One of the main cost drivers of such processes is the energy required for solvent regeneration. Most advanced technologies currently claim regeneration energies between 2.7 and 3.2 MJ/kg of CO2 for separation of CO2 from a Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) power plant flue gas. A system comprising a precipitating carbonate-based solvent has been claimed to have energy consumption well below 2.5MJ/kg of CO2. Here, the concept is evaluated to quantify its potential to bring down the cost of CO2 capture. A process model is developed based on correlation of available thermodynamic data to perform heat and material balances and to define the process operating window. Furthermore, experiments were carried out in a bench scale unit of 25kg/d (2.77x10−4 kg/s) CO2 capture capacity to demonstrate the integrated process concept. Finally, a techno-economic evaluation is performed based on the design of a commercial scale unit of one million tons per year (33.07 kg/s) CO2 capture capacity. The results indicate that the technology has not only higher energy requirements than originally claimed, but also higher capital cost than state of the art amine based systems. Thus, it is decided to stop further development of the technology.
Switched reluctance generator with higher number of rotor poles than stator poles (2012)

Due to its salient pole construction, concentrated stator windings and single source of excitation, switched reluctance machine (SRM) is an inherently robust machine with a wide constant power speed range. SRM has duality in the characteristics and control in motoring and generating modes, but due to the absence of magnetic source on the rotor, switched reluctance generator (SRG) has a unique operation as compared to other electric machines. This paper investigates the generating performance of the new family of SRMs with higher number of rotor poles. The proposed SRM configuration allows improved torque and operational characteristics than the conventional SRM. The simulation and experimental results on a 3 phase 6/10 SRM verify that the higher number of rotor poles and, hence, higher number strokes doesn't bring any control complexity in generating mode using the conventional control techniques and converter. Moreover, it has been experimentally verified that 6/10 SRG is capable of maintaining its operation even when there is fault in one or two of its phase windings.
Coupled Inductor Characterization for a High Performance Interleaved Boost Converter (2009)

Interleaved power converter topologies have received increasing attention in recent years for high power and high performance applications. The advantages of interleaved boost converters include increased efficiency, reduced size, reduced electromagnetic emission, faster transient response, and improved reliability. The front end inductors in an interleaved boost converter are magnetically coupled to improve electrical performance and reduce size and weight. Compared to a direct coupled configuration, inverse coupling provides the advantages of lower inductor ripple current and negligible dc flux levels in the core. In this paper, we explore the possible advantages of core geometry on core losses and converter efficiency. Analysis of FEA simulation and empirical characterization data indicates a potential superiority of a square core, with symmetric 45deg energy storage corner gaps, for providing both ac flux balance and maximum dc flux cancellation when wound in an inverse coupled configuration.
Electrooptic Response of Colloidal Liquid Crystals of Inorganic Oxide Nanosheets Prepared by Exfoliation of a Layered Niobate (2011)

Colloidally dispersed inorganic nanosheets prepared by exfoliation of layered crystals form lyotropic liquid crystals where highly anisotropic nanosheets with a constant thickness of ca. 1 nm and lateral dimension up to several micrometers work as mesogen. We investigated electrooptic properties of the niobate nanosheet colloids yielded by exfoliation of layered hexaniobate K4Nb6O17. The nanosheets initially oriented parallel to the surface of flat substrate were aligned parallel to the direction of the applied ac electric fields, resulting in electric birefringence of the colloids. The liquid crystalline colloids consisting of large nanosheets with an average lateral size around 2 μm showed a sharp response to an electric field with a low threshold voltage (<4 × 102 V cm–1) and the consequent remarkable electrooptic effect, which is in contrast to the isotropic colloid composed of a small sub-millimeter nanosheet that exhibited only a weak electrooptic effect with a high threshold (103 V cm–1). Retention of the electrically induced alignment was observed for the LC colloids with high nanosheet concentrations. The response much slower than conventional thermotropic liquid crystals reflects the micrometer-level size of the mesogenic nanosheets. Whereas the two-dimensional nature of the nanosheets did not induce the formation of monodomain by applying only one-dimensional electric field, repeated application and consequent backflow in the measurement cell reoriented the nanosheets into monodomain.
