Eliciting information from people with a gendered humanoid robot (2006)

A conversational robot can take on different personas that have more or less common ground with users. With more common ground, communication is more efficient. We studied this process experimentally. A "male" or "female" robot queried users about romantic dating norms. We expected users to assume a female robot knows more about dating norms than a male robot. If so, users should describe dating norms efficiently to a female robot but elaborate on these norms to a male robot. Users, especially women discussing norms for women, used more words explaining dating norms to the male robot than to a female robot. We suggest that through simple changes in a robot's persona, we can elicit different levels of information from users-less if the robot's goal is efficient speech, more, if the robot's goal is redundancy, description, explanation, and elaboration.

Tuning the Electron Storage Potential of a Charge-Photoaccumulating Ru(II) Complex by a DFT-Guided Approach (2019)

Molecular photosensitizers that are able to store multiple reducing equivalents are of great interest in the field of solar fuel production, where most reactions involve multielectronic reduction processes. In order to increase the reducing power of a ruthenium tris-diimine charge-photoaccumulating complex, two structural modifications on its fused dipyridophenazine-pyridoquinolinone ligand were computationally investigated. Addition of an electron-donating oxime group was calculated to substantially decrease the reduction potentials of the complex, thus guiding the synthesis of a pyridoquinolinone-oxime derivative. Its spectroscopic and (spectro)electrochemical characterizations experimentally confirmed the DFT predictions, especially with the first and second reduction processes cathodically-shifted by −0.24 and −0.14 V, respectively, compared to the parent complex. Moreover, the ability of this novel artificial photosynthetic system to store two photogenerated electrons at a more reducing potential, via a proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism, was demonstrated.
The Power and Energy Storage Systems Toolbox–PSTess (V1.0) (2021)

This document describes the Power and Energy Storage Systems Toolbox for MATLAB, abbreviated as PSTess. This computing package is a fork of the Power Systems Toolbox (PST). PST was originally developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and later upgraded by Dr. Graham Rogers at Cherry Tree Scientific Software. While PSTess shares a common lineage with PST Version 3.0, it is a substantially different application. This document supplements the main PST manual by describing the features and models that are unique to PSTess. As the name implies, the main distinguishing characteristic of PSTess is its ability to model inverter-based energy storage systems (ESS). The model that enables this is called ess.m , and it serves the dual role of representing ESS operational constraints and the generator/converter interface. As in the WECC REGC_A model, the generator/converter interface is modeled as a controllable current source with the ability to modulate both real and reactive current. The model ess.m permits four-quadrant modulation, which allows it to represent a wide variety of inverter-based resources beyond energy storage when paired with an appropriate supplemental control model. Examples include utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants, Type 4 wind plants, and static synchronous compensators (STATCOM). This capability is especially useful for modeling hybrid plants that combine energy storage with renewable resources or FACTS devices.
Repeat induced abortion in 30 Chinese provinces: A cross‐sectional study (2021)

A high proportion of repeat induced abortion was observed across many Chinese provinces, highlighting the need to reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancy. Several sociodemographic and clinical factors were found to be significantly associated with repeat abortions and should be considered in post-abortion family planning services.
Design and first stage test of 50-meter flexible superconducting cable (1979)

A 50-meter flexible superconducting cable model is described, including a copper-stabilized Nb <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> Sn-tape current-carrying core and cable-paper electric insulation of 13 mm total thickness which is submerged in cold helium while under working conditions. The helium-cooled inner channel is 36 mm in diameter and the outer diameter of the current-carrying core is 75 mm. Helium also flows in an annular channel between the outer surface of the core and a corrugated enclosure. The core is incorporated in a flexible cryostating envelope consisting of 4 corrugated enclosures; the two middle pipes form an annular channel for liquid nitrogen which reduces heat leaks to helium. The design of a 110 kV, 12 kA lead was developed to test the flexible superconducting cable model. For d.c. and a.c. tests of the model, a technique of inductive current introduction through a superconducting transformer is offered. A multisection transformer with a superconducting primary of insulated Nb <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</inf> Sn tape was manufactured, the current-carrying core being the secondary. Before assemblying, the sections were tested in a liquid helium cryostat to check the design characteristics and to determine the critical current in the winding. A.C. losses (50 Hz) in the transformer's primary were measured. The cable model was cooled by two improved helium refrigerator plants, HGU-150/4,5. Current tests were performed at a working temperature.
A method for measuring the specific heat of small samples (1990)

A technique for measuring the specific heat of small samples over a wide temperature range is described. The method uses a sequence of increasing and decreasing power levels applied to a heater thermally attached to a sample and thermometer with the entire assembly connected to a heat reservoir through a weak thermal link. By recording the temperature both on the heating and cooling portions of the sequence, the heat loss to the surroundings automatically can be eliminated from the calculation of the specific heat. The measuring system and data analysis technique are described. Example data of the specific heat change at the superconducting transition of 34 mg of In are given.
DiaLink optical fiber connectors for rotating fiber links (2000)

The inertia of a few optical fiber connectors is evaluated to identify the configuration that is more suitable for applications that require rotating optical connections. The new DiaLink products represent the most promising option thanks to their compactness and light weight properties. The cylindrical symmetry and minimal footprint allows for a reduction of the inertia by a factor 15-20 compared to traditional E-2000 TM and SC connectors.
The Management of Engineering Budget and Final Accounts in Construction Engineering (2003)

The engineering budget and final accounts is a very important document about controlling and determining the project capital in construction engineering. It must be scientific, accurate, and authoritative. In this paper, in order to consummate the ration of engineering budget, the author discusses the problem existing at present , and brings forth some measures to managing and controlling the engineering budget and final accounts. In the meantime, the author points out the emphasis of engineering budget and final accounts, and proposes some advice about these problems.
Chemical constituents of peppers (Piper spp.) and application to food preservation: naturally occurring antioxidative compounds. (1986)

In a structure analysis of the compounds of the genus Piper (Family Piperaceae), we identified five phenolic amides from Piper nigrum, seven compounds from P. retrofractum, and two compounds from P. baccatum. All the phenolic amides possess significant antioxidant activities that are more effective than the naturally occurring antioxidant, alpha-tocopherol. One amide, feruperine, has antioxidant activity as high as the synthetic antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Naturally occurring antioxidants, therefore, may surpass BHA and BHT in their ability to inactivate mutagens in food.

Continuous Hemodiafiltration with PMMA Hemofilter in the Treatment of Patients with Septic Shock (2008)

Septic shock is the most severe form of sepsis. It is widely accepted that cytokines play pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of septic shock. We reported previously that continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) using a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) membrane hemofilter removed various cytokines from blood continuously and efficiently, mainly by adsorption to membrane matrix of the hemofilter. Furthermore, in April 2000, we introduced to clinical practice a rapid assay system that determines blood levels of IL (interleukin)-6 in approximately 30 min. This enabled us to routinely measure blood IL-6 as an index of cytokine cascade activation in critically ill patients for real-time clinical monitoring of hypercytokinemia. The aim of the present cohort study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of PMMA-CHDF in septic shock, a typical condition associated with hypercytokinemia. Forty-three patients with septic shock were assessed by monitoring of blood IL-6 level with a rapid assay system and immediate initiation of critical care including PMMA-CHDF for cytokine removal. Following initiation of PMMA-CHDF, early improvement of hemodynamics was noted, as well as an increase in urine output. PMMA-CHDF treatment improved both hypercytokinemia (assessed by measurement of blood IL-6 level) and dysoxia (assessed by measurement of blood lactate level). The present findings suggest that cytokine-oriented critical care using PMMA-CHDF might be an effective strategy for the treatment of septic shock.
Effect of Endocardial Trabeculae on Left Ventricular Measurements and Measurement Reproducibility at Cardiovascular MR Imaging (2005)

Trabeculae significantly affect quantifications of LV volume and mass. The superior reproducibility of LV measurements with the inclusion of endocardial trabeculae in the cavity volume favors this tracing algorithm for clinical use.
Chemical‐Bonding‐Directed Hierarchical Assembly of Nanoribbon‐Shaped Nanocomposites of Gold Nanorods and Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (2016)

Nanoribbon-shaped nanocomposites composed of conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanoribbons and plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) were crafted by a co-assembly of thiol-terminated P3HT (P3HT-SH) nanofibers with dodecanethiol-coated AuNRs (AuNRs-DDT). First, P3HT-SH nanofibers were formed due to interchain π-π stacking. Upon the addition of AuNRs-DDT, P3HT-SH nanofibers were transformed into nanoribbons decorated with the aligned AuNRs on the surface (i.e., nanoribbon-like P3HT/AuNRs nanocomposites). Depending on the surface coverage of the P3HT nanoribbons by AuNRs, these hierarchically assembled nanocomposites exhibited broadened and red-shifted absorption bands of AuNRs in nIR region due to the plasmon coupling of adjacent aligned AuNRs and displayed quenched photoluminescence of P3HT. Such conjugated polymer/plasmonic nanorod nanocomposites may find applications in fields, such as building blocks for complex superstructures, optical biosensors, and optoelectronic devices.

Aromatic Amines as Co‐sensitizers in Dye Sensitized Titania Solar Cells (2003)

Abstract Solar cells based on titania require the use of sensitizing dyes in order to make the absorption band coincident with the solar spectrum. The most successful sensitizing dyes are based on Ru‐bipyridyls and are chosen for their absorption and redox characteristics. In addition to absorbing visible light, the sensitizing dye injects an electron from its excited state into the band gap of the titania. The injected electron must be conducted through the titania to an electrode upon which the titania is coated. One of the energy wasting pathways available to the injected electron is back transfer to an oxidized dye species on the surface of the titania. We have discovered a simple means of alleviating this energy wasting pathway by anchoring aromatic amines, i.e., co‐sensitizers, at low concentration along with the Ru‐based bipyridyl sensitizing dye to the surface of titania nanoparticles. Our results indicate that there is a significant increase in cell efficiency (∼15% at AM 1.5, area ≥1 cm2) primarily due to an increase in current when these species are present on the surface in combination with the dyes. We will report our preliminary results on a series of co‐sensitizers, and we will compare these to literature findings which use similar compounds as either co‐adsorbed species on titania or as substituents on the sensitizing dye molecule itself.
Winter Intervention AgainstAedes aegypti(Diptera: Culicidae) Larvae in Subterranean Habitats Slows Surface Recolonization in Summer (2002)

At semiarid Charters Towers, north Queensland, Australia, the importance of Aedes aegypti (L.) in wells was assessed in relation to the colonization of surface habitats during the wet season. From April to July 1999, 10 wells (five positive for Ae. aegypti) were monitored to assess their status and larvae population numbers therein. All surface containers located within a 100 m radius of each well were removed, treated with s-methoprene or sealed to prevent the utilization of these containers by mosquitoes. These inner cores were surrounded by outer zones for a further 100 m in which surface containers were left untreated but all subterranean habitats were treated. Ovitraps were monitored monthly in the inner cores for 36 wk from August 1999 to April 2000 and differences in the proportions of ovitraps positive for Ae. aegypti and Ochlerotatus notoscriptus (Skuse) were analyzed by logistic regression. Analysis of the proportions of ovitraps positive for Ae. aegypti near positive wells indicated significantly greater colonization from November to March (the wet season), compared with those situated near Ae. aegypti negative wells. As Oc. notoscriptus were not produced from subterranean sites, comparisons of the proportions of ovitraps positive for Oc. notoscriptus in positive and negative inner cores provided an indication of the relative productivity of the uncontrolled surface containers in the outer zones. Differences in the utililization of ovitraps by Oc. notoscriptus among positive and negative cores were observed during only one month (March), when oviposition was greater in ovitraps in the negative cores, compared with the positive cores. Best subsets linear regression analysis of the proportion of ovitraps positive forAe. aegypti against meteorological variables (rainfall, mean wind speed, mean relative humidity, mean minimum, and maximum temperature) during the week of ovitrapping indicated that minimum temperature and wind speed accounted for 63.4% of the variability. This study confirms that for semiarid towns such as Charters Towers, the practice of treating a relatively small number of key subterranean habitats during winter will significantly affect Ae. aegypti recolonization of surface container habitats during summer, the period of greatest risk for dengue.
Universal delay-limited simulation (2005)

We consider the problem of universal delay-limited simulation of an unknown information source of a certain parametric family (e.g., the family of memoryless sources or Markov sources of a given order), given a training sequence from that source and a stream of purely random bits. In the delay-limited setting, the simulation algorithm generates a random sequence sequentially, by delivering one symbol for each training symbol that is made available after a given initial delay, whereas the random bits are assumed to be available on demand. The goal of universal simulation is that the probability law of the generated sequence be identical to that of the training sequence, with minimum mutual information between the random processes generating both sequences. We characterize the optimal delay-limited simulation scheme and upper-bound the expected number of random bits it consumes. As in the non-sequential case, this upper bound is related to the entropy rate of the source

Leveraging Campus Resources For Hvac Laboratory Development (2020)

The purpose of this paper is to explore innovative opportunities for stretching limited university resources for laboratory development. The context of this discussion is an ongoing renovation project in the Applied Energy Laboratory, which is part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology Department at Purdue University. A relatively small initial capital investment by the University has been leveraged to provide more than $150,000 worth of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment. In the near future, continuing education short courses are expected to help this facility become nearly self-sufficient.

On the Additive Bases Problem in Finite Fields (2016)

We prove that if $G$ is an Abelian group and $A_1,\ldots,A_k \subseteq G$ satisfy $m A_i=G$ (the $m$-fold sumset), then $A_1+\cdots+A_k=G$ provided that $k \ge c_m \log \log |G|$. This generalizes a result of Alon, Linial, and Meshulam [Additive bases of vector spaces over prime fields. J. Combin. Theory Ser. A, 57(2):203—210, 1991] regarding so-called additive bases.

Limits of lithography (2001)

Lithography technology has been one of the key enablers and drivers for the semiconductor industry for the past several decades. Improvements in lithography are responsible for roughly half of the improvement in cost per function in integrated circuit (IC) technology. The underlying reason for the driving force in semiconductor technology has been the ability to keep the cost for printing a silicon wafer roughly constant while dramatically increasing the number of transistors that can be printed per chip. ICs have always been printed optically with improvements in lens and imaging material technology along with decreases in wavelength used fueling the steady improvement of lithography technology. The end of optical lithography technology has been predicted by many and for many years. Many technologies have been proposed and developed to improve on the performance of optical lithography, but so far none has succeeded. This has been true largely because it has always been more economical to push incremental improvements in the existing optical technology rather than displace it with a new one. At some point in time, the costs for pushing optical lithography technology beyond previously conceived limits may exceed the cost of introducing new technologies. In this paper the author examines the limits of lithography and possible future technologies from both a technical and economic point of view.
The initial predictors of death in 153 patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis in a single Korean centre. (2018)

The overall mortality rate was 9.2% and 10-year cumulative patient survival rate was 92.8%. At diagnosis, FFS (2009) ≥ 2 and DAH were independent predictors of death during the follow-up in Korean patients with MPA, GPA and EGPA.
