BBU design of linear induction accelerator cells for radiography application (2002)

There is an ongoing effort to develop accelerating modules for high-current electron accelerators for advanced radiography application. Accelerating modules with low beam-cavity coupling impedances along with gap designs with acceptable field stresses comprise a set of fundamental design criteria. We examine improved cell designs which have been developed for accelerator application in several radiographic operating regimes. We evaluate interaction impedances, analyze the effects of beam structure coupling on beam dynamics (beam breakup instability and corkscrew motion). We also provide estimates of coupling through interesting new high-gradient insulators and evaluate their potential future application in induction cells.
Cystatin C measurement and its practical use in patients with various renal diseases. (1997)

These data suggest that combined measurement of cystatin C in the serum and urine is useful to estimate GFR, especially to detect the mild reduction of GFR. Cystatin C measurement can also be used as an indicator of removal rate of low molecular weight protein with different types of high flux membranes in hemodialysis.
Wire-bonder-assisted integration of non-bondable SMA wires into MEMS substrates (2012)

This paper reports on a novel technique for the integration of NiTi shape memory alloy wires and other non-bondable wire materials into silicon-based microelectromechanical system structures using a standard wire-bonding tool. The efficient placement and alignment functions of the wire-bonding tool are used to mechanically attach the wire to deep-etched silicon anchoring and clamping structures. This approach enables a reliable and accurate integration of wire materials that cannot be wire bonded by traditional means.
Economic and energy analysis of potential corn-residue harvesting systems (1981)

Agricultural crop residue may be used as a renewable energy source for farmstead applications. The paper provides an economic and energy analysis for corn residue utilization on a 180-ha (450 acres) central Iowa farm. The first part of the paper discusses the quantity of residue needed to dry the grain produced on the farm and to generate the steam required for a farm-sized alcohol distillery unit to produce liquid fuels for crop production and residue collection. The second part of the paper presents an economic analysis of various systems that may be used to harvest and deliver the residue to the furnace site. The third part of the paper presents results of an experiment to measure the quantities of corn residue produced on a central Iowa farm. These residue quantities were measured on a field where conservation ridge-tillage practices have been used for the past 10 years. Residue harvest at three rates was compared. 16 references.
Numerical model of fiber wetting with finite resin volume (2015)

Abstract The partial wetting of cylindrical surfaces is encountered in many industrial applications such as composites manufacturing, MEMS, hair care products, and textile engineering. Understanding the impact of key parameters such as resin and fiber surface interaction properties and the geometric arrangement of the fibers on wetting would lead to tailoring a desired interface between the resin and the fiber surface. A three-dimensional model of resin wetting a single fiber is presented. This model is then extended to study a finite volume of resin wetting fibers in square and triangular packing arrangements. The impact of changing wetting properties and fiber volume fraction is examined for each packing arrangement.
Shifting More Attention to Visual Backbone: Query-modulated Refinement Networks for End-to-End Visual Grounding (2022)

Visual grounding focuses on establishing fine-grained alignment between vision and natural language, which has essential applications in multimodal reasoning systems. Existing methods use pre-trained query-agnostic visual backbones to extract visual feature maps independently without considering the query information. We argue that the visual features extracted from the visual backbones and the features really needed for multimodal reasoning are inconsistent. One reason is that there are differences between pre-training tasks and visual grounding. Moreover, since the backbones are query-agnostic, it is difficult to completely avoid the inconsistency issue by training the visual backbone end-to-end in the visual grounding framework. In this paper, we propose a Query-modulated Refinement Network (QRNet) to address the inconsistent issue by adjusting intermediate features in the visual backbone with a novel Query-aware Dynamic Attention (QD-ATT) mechanism and query-aware multiscale fusion. The QD-ATT can dynamically compute query-dependent visual attention at the spatial and channel levels of the feature maps produced by the visual backbone. We apply the QRNet to an end-to-end visual grounding framework. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods on five widely used datasets.
Safety of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 After Spinal Laminectomy in the Dog (2000)

Study Design. This was a randomized, blinded trial of the safety of the application of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 or autologous bone graft onto a laminectomy defect of the dog in the pres ence or absence of a dural membrane puncture. Objective. To test the safety of rhBMP-2 in an applica tion in which direct contact of the material with neural tissue occurs. Summary of Background Data. Application of rhBMP-2 in laboratory animals stimulates local bone for mation to effect spinal fusion and healing of segmental bone defects. The use of rhBMP-2 as a bone graft substi tute in spinal fusion would eliminate donor site morbidity and may augment the rate of successful fusion. Because rhBMP-2 may unintentionally come in contact with neural tissue, the consequences of such a safety issue must be addressed in an animal model before human trials. Methods. Twenty skeletally mature beagles under went spinal exposure followed by bilateral laminectomy at L5. In half of the dogs, a puncture wound was made to the dura with the expression of cerebrospinal fluid at the site of the puncture. In randomly selected animals, the exposed dural elements received either autologous bone graft with the bone removed from the laminectomy site or an implant of the rhBMP-2 device. The animals were observed for 12 weeks with periodic clinical examinations and monthly computed tomographic scans. Results. There was no clinical, radiographic, or histo logic evidence of neurologic abnormalities in these ani mals. The rhBMP-2 stimulated bone growth in the lami nectomy defect and came into direct contact with the dural membrane. There was no evidence of abnormal mineralization within the thecal sac or in the spinal cord itself. Conclusions. The rhBMP-2 implant stimulated bone formation in the laminectomy site. Neither autologous bone, rhBMP-2, nor the dural puncture had deleterious consequences for the animals.
Repeated bilateral retrobulbar injection of botulinum toxin in a blind patient with retinitis pigmentosa and incapacitating nystagmus. (2006)

Pronounced visual loss can lead to nystagmus, provoking oscillopsia and distressing ocular sensations. The treatment of acquired nystagmus remains difficult and various therapeutic options are attempted with limited results. We report the case of a man with acquired nystagmus and excessive ocular discomfort, successfully treated with repeated retrobulbar injections with botulinum toxin.
Maxillary Sinus Grafting With Biphasic Bone Ceramic or Autogenous Bone (2016)

Based on our findings, the amount of vital bone formation was significantly higher for AB than that for BCP. However, BCP seemed to be a biocompatible and osteoconductive material that can be used with success as a bone substitute in maxillary sinus procedures.
Somerset hard red spring wheat (2006)

Somerset is a hard red spring wheat that meets the end-use quality and kernel visual distinguishability specifications of the Canada Western Red Spring class. Evaluation of Somerset occurred in the Central Bread Wheat Cooperative Registration Test in 2001, 2002 and 2003 and was found to be adapted to the wheat-growing regions of the Canadian prairies. In comparison to the check cultivars Katepwa, McKenzie, CDC Teal, AC Barrie and Superb, Somerset grain yield was intermediate to AC Barrie and McKenzie. Somerset is resistant to stem rust, leaf rust and loose smut. Resistance to fusarium head blight was similar to that of AC Barrie, Katepwa and McKenzie. End-use quality tests identified that Somerset had about 1% more grain protein and slightly higher flour yield than the check cultivars. Somerset has lower test weight and is taller than the check cultivars. Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar description, red spring wheat, grain protein
Self-Assembly of Natural Polymers Via Liquid Crystalline Phases (1981)

Abstract There are numerous examples of biological materials in which the supermolecular organization of a solid resembles that of a liquid crystal. Bouligand has proposed that a liquid crystalline phase may be the precursor of such solids, but without offering any detailed mechanism for this type of transition. Examination of the various equilibria involving a polymer in the crystalline state, and its isotropic and anisotropic solutions, suggests a possible mechanism. There may be a region in the phase diagram in which the isotropic phase is unsaturated, while the conjugate a nisotropic phase is supersaturated. If the solubility curve of crystalline polymer in the isotropic phase intersects the “wide” portion of the biphasic region, a very dilute isotropic solution will be in equilibrium with a concentrated and supersaturated anisotropic phase which must crystallize. An open system incorporating these features would be capable of the continous production of a crystalline polymer having the morphological features of the liquid crystalline phase.
Improvement in Overall Survival in a Randomized Study That Compared Dacomitinib With Gefitinib in Patients With Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer and EGFR-Activating Mutations (2018)

Purpose ARCHER 1050, a randomized, open-label, phase III study of dacomitinib versus gefitinib in treatment-naïve patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and activating mutations in EGFR, reported significant improvement in progression-free survival with dacomitinib. The mature overall survival (OS) analysis for the intention-to-treat population is presented here. Patients and Methods In this multinational, multicenter study, patients age 18 years or older (≥ 20 years in Japan and Korea) who had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 and newly diagnosed NSCLC with activating mutations in EGFR (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) were enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 manner to dacomitinib (n = 227) or gefitinib (n = 225). Random assignment was stratified by race (Japanese, Chinese, other East Asian, or non-Asian) and EGFR mutation type. The final OS analysis was conducted with a data cutoff date of February 17, 2017; at that time 220 deaths (48.7%) were observed. Results During a median follow-up time of 31.3 months, 103 (45.4%) and 117 (52.0%) deaths occurred in the dacomitinib and gefitinib arms, respectively. The estimated hazard ratio for OS was 0.760 (95% CI, 0.582 to 0.993; two-sided P = .044). The median OS was 34.1 months with dacomitinib versus 26.8 months with gefitinib. The OS probabilities at 30 months were 56.2% and 46.3% with dacomitinib and gefitinib, respectively. Preliminary subgroup analyses for OS that are based on baseline characteristics were consistent with the primary OS analysis. Conclusion In patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR activating mutations, dacomitinib is the first second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to show significant improvement in OS in a phase III randomized study compared with a standard-of-care TKI. Dacomitinib should be considered one of the standard treatment options for these patients.
Wind farms territorial integration in Corsica : Methodology and case study in Bonifacio (2006)

Integration of wind farm in territory is an actual and complex problem. Try to resolve it, with chances that a project is politically and socially accepted, recovers not from a technical method where the researcher remains isolated of regional and local actors. If the investor has for first purposes the maximization of production and profitability, citizens have for main objective the not deterioration of their living environment (mainly, visual and noise impacts). Other actors, private or public stakeholders, can pursue individual or collective interests, occurring as location criterion of wind farms. So, in this context of multiple actors more or less in conflicts, look for an optimal project is little realistic. The way of integrated wind farm, best compromise of stakeholders' preoccupations concerning a territory, is more reasonable. Present contribution underlines how some tools of physical sciences can be used, adapted, and find their necessary complement in participative governance analysis.
Effector‐induced self‐association and conformational changes in the enhancer‐binding protein NTRC (1996)

The Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogen regulatory protein NTRC is a response regulator which activates transcription in response to nitrogen limitation, and is a member of the family of sigma N-dependent enhancer-binding proteins. Using limited trypsin digestion, two domains of NTRC were detected and conformational changes within the protein in response to the binding of ligands were also observed. In the absence of ligands, the major digestion products were 42, 36 and 12.5 kDa bands corresponding to the central plus C-terminal domain, the central domain, and the N-terminal domains, respectively. Upon binding of purine but not pyrimidine nucleotides, the 36 kDa band was insensitive to further proteolysis, indicative of a conformational change in the central domain. Analysis of the dependence of this insensitivity on ATP gamma S concentration suggested an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) for ATP gamma S of 150 microM. In the presence of DNA, both the central and C-terminal domains of NTRC were insensitive to proteolytic cleavage, indicative of a further conformational change. NTRC S160F, a mutant form of NTRC that is active in the absence of phosphorylation, was more stable to proteolysis than the wild-type protein. This mutant protein is apparently locked in a conformation resembling the DNA-bound form of wild-type NTRC. The involvement of ligands in self-association was studied using sedimentation equilibrium analysis. In the absence of ligand, wild-type NTRC displayed a monomer-dimer equilibrium with a Kd of 6 microM. In the presence of ATP gamma S the equilibrium was shifted towards the dimer form (Kd = 0.8 microM). A similar dissociation constant for the monomer-dimer interaction was observed with NTRC S160F in the absence of ATP gamma S (Kd = 0.5 microM). The addition of ATP gamma S induced a significant association of NTRC S160F to higher-order states with a dimer-octamer model producing a slightly, but not significantly better fit to the data than a dimer-hexamer model. We propose that ligand-mediated self-association provides a common mechanism for activation of this class of transcriptional regulatory proteins.
Dehydrogenation of Ethylbenzene over Cr-Ce-O Mixed Oxides in the Presence of CO_2 (2003)

A series of nanosized Cr-Ce-O mixed oxides have been prepared by coprecipitation. The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene over these catalysts in the presence of CO_(2) has been investigated. It is found that the mixed oxides show obviously higher activity than pure oxides. This is probably caused by the higher amount of Cr~(6+) present in the mixed oxides than in Cr_(2)O_(3) as well as the easier reduction of Ce~(4+) present in the mixed oxides than in CeO_(2), as shown in TPR results. Compared to the case in the absence of CO_(2 )(N_(2) atmosphere), carbon dioxide promotes the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene.
Time‐ and Frequency‐Domain Characteristics of Atrial Electrograms During Sinus Rhythm and Atrial Fibrillation (2011)

Structural and functional properties of the atrial myocardium during AF contribute to electrogram complexity, which may indicate the presence of extra-PV mechanisms of AF that are not eliminated by APVI. Mapping of complex electrograms in SR is not likely to be sufficient to identify drivers of AF.
Grain Phytic Acid and Protein are Highly Correlated in Winter Wheat (1991)

Phytic acid ( myo ‐inositol hexakisphosphate), the major storage form of P in seeds, is believed to have a negative impact on nutritional quality. Since breeding for low phytic acid has been proposed for several cereals and legumes, it is important to predict the effects of selection against phytic acid on other major grain components. Experiments were conducted to determine the quantitative relationship between grain phytic acid P, total P, and protein in two winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) populations, each consisting of F 6 progeny of a double cross. Substantial variation in phytic acid P was observed, with the range in values equal to 30 and 48% of the respective population mean. Observed variation in phytic acid P was highly and positively correlated with variation in grain total P ( r 0.93 and 0.96 in Populations 1 and 2, respectively), and with variation in grain protein ( r = 0.65 and 0.87, respectively). The dose correlation of phytic acid P with both total P and protein indicates that selection against grain phytic acid would lead to undesirable reductions in both grain total P and protein.
Assessing the potential of sputtered gold nanolayers in mass spectrometry imaging for metabolomics applications (2018)

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a molecular imaging technique that maps the distribution of molecules in biological tissues with high spatial resolution. The most widely used MSI modality is matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), mainly due to the large variety of analyte classes amenable for MALDI analysis. However, the organic matrices used in classical MALDI may impact the quality of the molecular images due to limited lateral resolution and strong background noise in the low mass range, hindering its use in metabolomics. Here we present a matrix-free laser desorption/ionization (LDI) technique based on the deposition of gold nanolayers on tissue sections by means of sputter-coating. This gold coating method is quick, fully automated, reproducible, and allows growing highly controlled gold nanolayers, necessary for high quality and high resolution MS image acquisition. The performance of the developed method has been tested through the acquisition of MS images of brain tissues. The obtained spectra showed a high number of MS peaks in the low mass region (m/z below 1000 Da) with few background peaks, demonstrating the ability of the sputtered gold nanolayers of promoting the desorption/ionization of a wide range of metabolites. These results, together with the reliable MS spectrum calibration using gold peaks, make the developed method a valuable alternative for MSI applications.

BANS: Evaluation of Bystander Awareness Notification Systems for Productivity in VR (2023)

VR Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) provide unlimited and personalized virtual workspaces and will enable working anytime and anywhere.However, if HMDs are to become ubiquitous, VR users are at risk of being observed, which can threaten their privacy.We examine six Bystander Awareness Notification Systems (BANS) to enhance VR users' bystander awareness whilst immersed in VR.In a user study (N=28), we explore how future HMDs equipped with BANS might enable users to maintain their privacy while contributing towards enjoyable and productive travels.Results indicate that BANS increase VR users' bystander awareness without affecting presence and productivity.Users prefer BANS that extract and present the most details of reality to facilitate their bystander awareness.We conclude by synthesizing four recommendations, such as providing VR users with control over BANS and considering how VR users can best transition between realities, to inform the design of privacy-preserving HMDs.
A highly compact 60-GHz lens-corrected conical horn antenna (2004)

We have developed a highly compact 60 GHz, lens-corrected conical horn for a Fast Ethernet wireless link. The horn has a diameter of 3 inches and a focal length of 1.5 inches. We use a two-step, hyperbolic, Rexolite lens to correct the aperture phase distortion caused by the 90-degree flare angle. The measured input return loss of the horn is 11 dB at 58.6 and 15 dB at 62.1 GHz, the link carrier frequencies. The measured gain is 27.6 dBi at 58.6 GHz and 28.6 dBi at 62.1 GHz. To our knowledge, these are the first reported results for a conical horn with such a wide flare angle in this frequency band.

A framework for determining the satisfiability of general Boolean expressions (2002)

The algorithms and data structures described in this paper provide an effective method for determining the satisfiability of nearly all Boolean expressions. In addition, they serve as a supportive framework for more sophisticated efforts to determine the satisfiability of those expressions which prove to be difficult for the basic method. Two major approaches for enhancing the satisfiability-determination algorithm that are under investigation are the use of constraint-tree resequencing heuristics and the reduction of constraint trees by means of transformations. Since most of the expressions required no additional assistance, and since constraint-tree resequencing and reduction will both involve nontrivial expense, we are looking for inexpensive structural measures which are good predictors of the difficulties which are likely to be posed by an expression and which could suggest an optimal strategy for processing the expression under consideration.
