Progress in Reducing AC Losses of Bi2223 Tapes with Interfilamentary Resistive Barriers (2010)

This paper presents our recent progress for the development of low-AC loss Bi2223 tapes with interfilamentary oxide barriers. For the compatibility with Bi2223 phase formation during sintering, SrZrO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> was selected as barrier materials. Moreover, small amount of Bi2212 was mixed with SrZrO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> to improve its ductility for cold working. Although some breakages of barrier layers still existed, the effective transverse resistivity was approximately 10 times higher than a tape with pure Ag matrix. By controlling barrier thickness, reducing a tape width below 3 mm and twisting the filaments with its length below 5 mm , coupling frequency f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> attained to 260 Hz in an AC perpendicular transverse field. Critical current densities J <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> of our twisted barrier tapes were ranged in 12-15 kA/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> at 77 K and self-field, which was 25-30 % lower than non-twisted one (=18 kA/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ). In our knowledge, this is the first report to achieve both J <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> >; 12 kA/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and f <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">c</sub> 250 Hz simultaneously in a single Bi2223 tapes. Our barrier tapes showed 60-70% lower perpendicular field losses than a conventional 4 mm-width tape with fully coupled filaments at 50 mT and 50 Hz. These results are promising for remarkable improvement in AC performance for Bi2223 tapes in future.
Measurement of DNA-protein equilibria using gel chromatography: application to the HinfI restriction endonuclease (1985)

A method is described for measuring equilibrium constants of DNA-protein interactions using gel chromatography. This technique has been used to study the sequence-specific interaction of the HinfI restriction endonuclease with DNA. HinfI has a monomeric molecular weight of 31000 and exists as a dimer in its active form. The protein binds to supercoiled DNA molecules containing its recognition site with an apparent free energy of -13.9 kcal/mol of sites. This interaction is highly salt sensitive and causes a release of 3.4 ion pairs. The affinity of the nuclease for its recognition site is largely independent of both pH (6.5-8.5) and temperature (7-35 degrees C) and was not affected by variations in the degenerate middle position of the site. Linear DNA fragments containing the HinfI recognition site were bound as tightly as supercoiled molecules. Binding to nonspecific DNA sites or to methylated DNA sites was approximately 6 orders of magnitude weaker. In general, enzyme activity and binding affinity paralleled each other.

vTPM: virtualizing the trusted platform module (2006)

We present the design and implementation of a system that enables trusted computing for an unlimited number of virtual machines on a single hardware platform. To this end, we virtualized the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). As a result, the TPM’s secure storage and cryptographic functions are available to operating systems and applications running in virtual machines. Our new facility supports higher-level services for establishing trust in virtualized environments, for example remote attestation of software integrity. We implemented the full TPM specification in software and added functions to create and destroy virtual TPM instances. We integrated our software TPM into a hypervisor environment to make TPM functions available to virtual machines. Our virtual TPM supports suspend and resume operations, as well as migration of a virtual TPM instance with its respective virtual machine across platforms. We present four designs for certificate chains to link the virtual TPM to a hardware TPM, with security vs. efficiency trade-offs based on threat models. Finally, we demonstrate a working system by layering an existing integrity measurement application on top of our virtual TPM facility. 1
Semantic Web in Ubiquitous Mobile Communications (2011)

The world becomes ubiquitous, and mobile communication platforms become oriented towards integration with the web, getting benefits from the large amount of information available there, and creation of the new types of value-added services. Semantic and ontology technologies are seen as being able to advance the seamless integration of the mobile and the Web worlds. We provide background information on the Semantic Web field, discuss other research fields that bring semantics into play for reaching the ontology-enabled ubiquitous mobile communication vision, and exemplify the state of the art of ontology development and use in telecommunication projects.
Approximate String Matching (1980)

Approximate matching of strings is reviewed with the aim of surveying techniques suitable for finding an item in a database when there may be a spelling mistake or other error in the keyword. The methods found are classified as either equivalence or similarity problems. Equivalence problems are seen to be readily solved using canonical forms. For sinuiarity problems difference measures are surveyed, with a full description of the wellestablmhed dynamic programming method relating this to the approach using probabilities and likelihoods. Searches for approximate matches in large sets using a difference function are seen to be an open problem still, though several promising ideas have been suggested. Approximate matching (error correction) during parsing is briefly reviewed.

Purification and Properties of Biologically Active Messenger RNA for a Myeloma Light Chain (1972)

A cell-free system derived from Krebs II ascites tumor has been used to assay biologically active mRNA for myeloma (MOPC-41) light chain during its purification by oligothymidylate-cellulose chromatography and sucrose gradient centrifugation. The purified mRNA directs the synthesis of a product that yields tryptic peptides corresponding to those derived from authentic myeloma protein and that forms a specific immunoprecipitate with antibody directed against the MOPC-41 protein. The fact that the light-chain mRNA anneals to oligothymidylic acid-cellulose suggests that it, like several other eukaryotic mRNAs, contains a region rich in adenylic acid residues. The most active fractions of light-chain mRNA, representing about 0.1% of the RNA originally extracted from membrane-bound myeloma polysomes, sediment as a discrete peak with an s(20,w) of about 13, roughly corresponding to an RNA molecule containing 850 bases. The results suggest that the light-chain mRNA is monocistronic and that it contains about 200 more bases than would be necessary to encode the variable and constant regions of a single light-chain molecule.
Transaction Costs And Equity Portfolio Capacity Analysis (2011)

The article gives an overview of the current state of equity portfolio capacity analysis. The investment performance exhibits two factors that include the underlying investment strategy of the portfolio manager and the execution costs incurred in realizing those objectives. Liquidity, measured in terms of implementation costs, can be affected by changing the breadth of the portfolio or by changing the investable universe. The liquidity effects differ depending on the investment strategy, implying that capacity is a strategy-specific phenomenon. The cost-aware portfolio performs much better, yielding a modest but positive Sharpe ratio of 0.07. The average costs of implementing the cost-aware rebalancing strategy are two to four times lower than the costs of implementing the non-cost-aware strategy. Portfolio net returns are used as the yardstick by which the alternative combinations of turnover levels and fund sizes are compared. Expected costs are derived from ITG's Agency Cost Estimator. The generation of these costs relies on a transparent methodology, and permits stock-specific estimates, which can be matched against expected returns. The covariance estimates are provided by the monthly US model from the suite of ITG risk models. The model is estimated using time-series on a per-stock basis. The factor covariance matrix is scaled using an option-implied adjustment coefficient to provide forward-looking risk forecasts.

Advances in high-brightness semiconductor lasers (2008)

We present recent advances in high power semiconductor laser bars and arrays at near infrared and eye-safe wavelengths. We report on increased spectral brightness with internal gratings to narrow and stabilize the spectrum and increased spatial brightness in multimode and single mode devices. These devices have the potential to dramatically improve diode pumped systems and enable new direct diode applications.
Platelet Adhesion to the Subendothelium Under Flow (2003)

The adhesion of cells is normally studied in the absence of flow. In a classic setup, ELISA wells are coated with an adhesive protein and subsequently incubated with a cell suspension. The gravity is responsible for the transport of the cells to the adhesive surface. This setup is not appropriate for blood cells, such as platelets, because platelet adhesion occurs physiologically under flow conditions. The shear stress induced by the flow causes qualitative and quantitative differences in adhesion (1). Blood platelets have a relatively low density and do not settle easily under gravity. Under flow conditions, convective diffusion of platelets to the vessel wall is responsible for a strong increase of platelet number near the reactive surface, resulting in a strongly enhanced platelet adhesion. A second important effect of flow is mediated by the shear stresses exerted on the platelets. To overcome these stresses, a special protein, the von Willebrand factor, is necessary, which has a very high affinity for the platelet membrane receptor glycoprotein Ib. In the absence of flow, the presence of von Willebrand factor is not necessary for platelet adhesion, but with increasing shear rates, the presence of von Willebrand factor becomes essential. Another disadvantage of studying platelet adhesion under static conditions is that owing to the presence of red blood cells, these experiments must be performed with washed platelets, and the required centrifugation steps cause unwanted platelet activation.
Reliability Analysis of Repairable Systems Based on a Two-Segment Bathtub-Shaped Failure Intensity Function (2018)

The reliability analysis of complex repairable systems is an important but computationally intensive task that requires fitting the failure data of whole life cycles well. Because the existing reliability models are mainly based on the assumptions that systems are either unrepairable or will go through an “as good as new”type of repair which does not describe actual situations effectively and precisely, a two-segment failure intensity model based on sectional non-homogeneous Poisson process is developed. This model is capable of analyzing repairable systems with bathtub-shaped failure intensity. It considers minimal maintenance activities and preserves the time series of failures based on the whole life cycle. The advantages of this model lie in its flexibility to describe monotonic, non-monotonic failure intensities and its practicality to determine the burn-in or replacement time for repairable systems. Three real lifetime failure data sets are applied to illustrate the developed model. The results show that the model performs well regarding the Akaike information criterion value, mean squared errors, and Cramér-von Mises values.

On a Generalized Eigenvalue Problem for Nonsquare Pencils (2006)

In this paper a generalized eigenvalue problem for nonsquare pencils of the form $A-\lambda B$ with $A, B\in {\bf C}^{m\times n}$ and $m>n$, which was proposed recently by Boutry, Elad, Golub, and Milanfar [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 27 (2006), pp. 582–601], is studied. An algebraic characterization for the distance between the pair $(A, B)$ and the pairs $(A_0, B_0)$ with the property that for the pair $(A_0, B_0)$ there exist l distinct eigenpairs of the form $(A_0-\lambda_k B_0)\uv_k=0$, $k=1,\ldots, l$, is given, which implies that this distance can be obtained by solving an optimization problem over the compact set $\{ V_l: V_l\in {\bf C}^{n\times l}, V_l^HV_l=I\}$. Furthermore, the distance between a controllable descriptor system and uncontrollable ones is also considered, an algebraic characterization is obtained, and hence a well‐known result on the distance between a controllable linear time‐invariant system to uncontrollable ones is extended to the descriptor systems.
The Effect of Fhb1 and Fhb5 Quantitative Trait Loci in Hard Red Spring Wheat Does Not Depend on Fungicide Use for Managing Fusarium Head Blight in Wheat (2019)

Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by <i>Fusarium graminearum</i>, is one of the most damaging diseases that affect wheat in Canada. The disease is best managed by integrating host resistance and fungicides, mainly demethylation inhibitors. Research has shown that the effect of fungicides may be dependent on the level of resistance of the cultivar. However, whether the performance of genotypes carrying specific Sumai 3-derived major FHB quantitative trait loci is dependent on fungicide application has not been explored. In our study, the performance of near-isogenic lines (NILs; <1.0% genome/alleles from the resistance donor), carrying <i>Fhb1</i> and <i>Fhb5</i> in a hard red spring wheat cultivar CDC Go background compared with a moderately susceptible (MS) genotype, was evaluated with and without one application of metconazole during full flowering. Field experiments were conducted at five site-years in Saskatchewan, Canada, between 2016 and 2017. In both the individual and combined analysis (all trials), we found that the effect of NILs and metconazole in suppressing FHB symptoms and deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulation in the grain was additive. FHB severity was generally low and fungicide efficacy levels, relative to the untreated control, were increased in the MS cultivar than in the NILs carrying <i>Fhb1</i> and <i>Fhb5</i>, which were least affected by the disease. The results confirm the importance of integrating fungicides with cultivar resistance to reduce FHB and DON, regardless of the presence of those well-characterized resistant genes.
Application of Compact Disc-Type Microfluidic Platform to Biochemical and Biomedical Analysis:Review (2013)

Compact disc (CD)-type microfluidic platforms, where a solution in a reservoir is flowed by the centrifugal force driven by rotating the platform, have attracted much concern in various fields, especially for the biochemical analysis and diagnostics, due to the special advantages as follows. First, centrifugal force is used for driving samples to flow on a CD-type microfluidic platform, which is suitable for biomolecules since it is simple and no additional component is needed. Second, a dramatic reduction of sample volume can be realized on a CD-type microfluidic platform with the micro-scaled reservoirs and channels, which is very suitable for biochemical analysis due to the limit of samples. The third advantage is due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of microfluidics, the diffusion length is significantly decreased and this leads to a rapid time-to-result, which is also essential for biochemical analysis. Finally, CD-type microfluidic platform is capable for integrating several procedures, such as sample separation, mixing, reaction and detection on a normal CD-sized device, so that the volume of the analytical system is highly decreased. Additionally CD-type microfluidic platform have the advantage of capability for a multi-sample analysis by designing a proper microchannels and by controlling the rotation speed induced centrifugal force for the multi-sample. In this review, we will introduce the application of CD-type microfluidic platforms on biochemical analysis and diagnostics, such as cell lysis and blood sedimentation, DNA hybridization and immunoassay on chip.
Tandem Smart Cards: Enforcing Trust for TLS-Based Network Services (2008)

This paper presents a new concept, called tandem, dedicated to smart cards that control TLS-based applications. The originality of this approach is to introduce a collaborative process between a smart card and its docking host. This technology enables the secure downloading of a huge amount of data, in untrustworthy computers. We present software paradigms and APIs that facilitate the practical deployment of such cards. We analyze experimental results, obtained with four commercial SIM cards and general purpose java cards.
A Tonoplast Sugar Transporter Underlies a Sugar Accumulation QTL in Watermelon (2017)

How sugar transporters regulate sugar accumulation in fruits is poorly understood and particularly so for species storing high-concentration Suc. Accumulation of soluble sugars in watermelon (<i>Citrullus lanatus</i>) fruit, a major quality trait, had been selected during domestication. Still, the molecular mechanisms controlling this quantitative trait are unknown. We resequenced 96 recombinant inbred lines, derived from crossing sweet and unsweet accessions, to narrow down the size of a previously described sugar content quantitative trait locus, which contains a putative <i>Tonoplast Sugar Transporter</i> gene (<i>ClTST2</i>). Molecular and biochemical analyses indicated that <i>ClTST2</i> encodes a vacuolar membrane protein, whose expression is associated with tonoplast uptake and accumulation of sugars in watermelon fruit flesh cells. We measured fruit sugar content and resequenced the genomic region surrounding <i>ClTST2</i> in 400 watermelon accessions and associated the most sugar-related significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to the <i>ClTST2</i> promoter. Large-scale population analyses strongly suggest increased expression of <i>ClTST2</i> as a major molecular event in watermelon domestication associated with a selection sweep around the <i>ClTST2</i> promoter. Further molecular analyses explored the binding of a sugar-induced transcription factor (<i>SUSIWM1</i>) to a sugar-responsive cis-element within the <i>ClTST2</i> promoter, which contains the quantitative trait locus (QTL) causal SNP. The functional characterization of <i>ClTST2</i> and its expression regulation by <i>SUSIWM1</i> provide novel tools to increase sugar sink potency in watermelon and possibly in other vegetable and fruit crops.
A novel robust signaling scheme for high-speed low-power communication over long wires (2012)

This paper describes a new capacitively coupled driver and a receiver with a new analog equalizer for high-speed low-power communication over long on-chip wires. The proposed signaling scheme improves upon state of the art capacitively driven interconnect based scheme for enhanced robustness and energy efficiency of the signaling scheme. The proposed signaling scheme has been designed in 90nm CMOS process. Simulations indicate that the proposed scheme can transmit and receive data at the rate of 3.22Gbps over a 10mm long channel while consuming only 0.107pJ/bit. This is the lowest reported energy/bit for high-speed on-chip communication over long on-chip wires. Monte Carlo and process corner simulations show that the proposed scheme allows up to 3Gbps of data rate even in the presence of intra-die and inter-die process variations.
