The impact of public four-year colleges and universities on community sustainability in non-metropolitan areas of the Great Plains (2006)

Colleges and Universities have claimed in quantitative and qualitative work that they provide economic benefits to their host communities. Quantitative studies took the form of economic impact studies that documented the dollars brought into a local economy, and determined the multiplier effect that measured total local impact of those dollars (Leslie and Slaughter, 1992). One national study (Loessner, 1994), compared per capita income in communities that hosted institutions of higher education to per capita income in communities that did not host institutions of higher education. Loessner and other quantitative studies did not demonstrate whether colleges and universities provided economic advantage in non-metropolitan communities. The qualitative literature was dominated by single-case studies and non-empirical work, neither of which described how colleges and universities impacted local economic development. This dissertation included two components to explore how colleges and universities impacted their host communities in non-metropolitan areas of the Great Plains. A quantitative component compared economic data in four Great Plains states to assess whether communities with public four-year institutions of higher education showed greater sustainability than those that did not have public four year institutions. The results for this component were inconclusive. A qualitative grounded theory component included interviews with people in economic development, local government, the private sector, and higher education to determine whether they perceived local economic advantages to hosting institutions of higher education, and how those institutions affected local economic development. The results of this component indicated that there were significant advantages from direct economic impacts and from the forward linkage impacts generated by public four year institutions of higher education. Direct economic benefits derived from the stable presence of faculty and staff positions with comparatively good discretionary income and benefits, and forward linkage benefits derived from the impact of colleges and universities on local culture and quality of life.
A parallel adaptive filter structure for digital mobile radio applications (2002)

A parallel adaptive filter structure is described which exploits characteristics of the error signal in adaptive algorithms to improve modem performance in a rapidly changing mobile radio environment. Examples which apply this technique to coherent detection, channel equalization, and automatic frequency control are given.
Pulsatile arterial blood pressure mimicking aortic valve opening during continuous-flow LVAD support: a case report (2019)

We present this interesting didactic case to highlight caveats during the early postoperative period after LVAD implantation. Moreover, this case demonstrates that careful and differentiated observation of the arterial blood pressure waveform provides crucial information in this unique and growing patient population of continuous-flow LVAD support.
Total Hip Arthroplasty in Acetabular Protrusio (2009)

Protrusio is a central acetabular defect resulting from migration of the femoral head medial to Kohler's line. Protrusio can develop in association with a number of conditions that affect the metabolism or mechanical behavior of the periacetabular bone. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for acetabular protrusio requires reconstruction of the contained cavitary defect. The acetabular rim is generally intact. The defect can be effectively treated with a lateralized cementless porous-coated component supported on the peripheral acetabular bony rim. Morsellized autograft is used to fill the medial defect. However, if the rim is inadequate to provide mechanical support for a cementless cup due to bone loss or osteoporosis, cementless cup reconstruction can result in medial migration. If rim support is inadequate, a reconstruction cage is a more appropriate option to gain fixation to the pelvis above and below the acetabulum. Total hip arthroplasty for protrusio can also affect both offset and leg length, so careful preoperative templating is important to help determine implant position. Results of THA with medial acetabular bone grafting for protrusio acetabuli have been favorable, with success rates similar to conventional THA.
Pairing interaction in CuO clusters (1989)

We examine the tendency to pairing of holes added on CuO clusters with one hole per Cu as the reference state, for a variety of cluster geometries. The model Hamiltonian considered contains on-site and short-range Coulomb repulsion terms. Confirming and extending our previous results, we find a tendency to pairing for a wide range of parameters in the model Hamiltonian. The tendency to pairing arises from a disruption of the local order in the insulating system (with one hole per Cu) by addition of the extra holes. We discuss to what extent it is possible to identify the pairing mechanism as "charge mediated" or "spin mediated" as a function of the parameters. We examine the stability of the system with respect to real condensation (phase separation) in the regime where the pair interaction is attractive. Finally, we discuss the possible connection of our results to the superconductivity mechanism in high-${T}_{c}$ oxides.

The information bundled in this e-book is that of a 4-day course, formatted as a training school open to researchers, practicing engineers, etc., in fact, for all those who want to obtain profound starting knowledge on the structural application of alkali-activated concrete, also in the wider framework of circular concrete solutions.
Are MXenes Promising Anode Materials for Li Ion Batteries? Computational Studies on Electronic Properties and Li Storage Capability of Ti3C2 and Ti3C2X2 (X = F, OH) Monolayer (2012)

Density functional theory (DFT) computations were performed to investigate the electronic properties and Li storage capability of Ti(3)C(2), one representative MXene (M represents transition metals, and X is either C or/and N) material, and its fluorinated and hydroxylated derivatives. The Ti(3)C(2) monolayer acts as a magnetic metal, while its derived Ti(3)C(2)F(2) and Ti(3)C(2)(OH)(2) in their stable conformations are semiconductors with small band gaps. Li adsorption forms a strong Coulomb interaction with Ti(3)C(2)-based hosts but well preserves its structural integrity. The bare Ti(3)C(2) monolayer exhibits a low barrier for Li diffusion and high Li storage capacity (up to Ti(3)C(2)Li(2) stoichiometry). The surface functionalization of F and OH blocks Li transport and decreases Li storage capacity, which should be avoided in experiments. The exceptional properties, including good electronic conductivity, fast Li diffusion, low operating voltage, and high theoretical Li storage capacity, make Ti(3)C(2) MXene a promising anode material for Li ion batteries.
Fundamental Mechanisms of Lithographic Printing Plate Imaging by Near-Infrared Lasers (1997)

The fundamental mechanisms of exposure by near-infrared pulses of multilayer films, which can be used as lithographic printing plates, are investigated using time-resolved optical microscopy. The films were developed by Presstek, Inc. (Hudson, NH) for use in the PEARL&#x2122; imaging system. Exposure by 10-&#x3BC;s duration Gaussian profile pulses is shown to occur with an extremely sharp fluence threshold of Jth = 0.34 J/cm2. Exposure greatly alters the surface affinity for inks. Time-resolved microscopy shows the mechanism of surface alteration to involve thermochemical decomposition of the surface coating material, which results in its debonding from the film. Using threshold measurements and a theoretical thermal conduction model, debonding is shown to occur when the temperature in the film is about 500&#xB0;C.
Active sonar processing gain under reverberation dominant environments (2016)

Although there are various researches for the sonar processing gain of replica correlation under noise dominant environments, it seems no reports have been published for the reverberation limited region researches. In this paper a theoretical approach under reverberation dominant environments is presented using a reverberation modeling with large frequency modulation LFM transmissions. The result indicates that wider frequency modulations and longer pulses provide larger processing gains.
Gender Differences in Multimodal Contact-Free Deception Detection (2018)

In this paper, we explore the hypothesis that multimodal features as well as demographic information can play an important role in increasing the performance of automatic lie detection. We introduce a large, multimodal deception detection dataset balanced across genders, and we analyze the patterns associated with the thermal, linguistic, and visual responses of liars and truth-tellers. We show that our multimodal noncontact deception detection approach can lead to a performance in the range of 60%–80%, with different modalities, different genders, and different domain settings playing a role in the accuracy of the system.
A Two-Piece Microkeratome-Assisted Mushroom Keratoplasty Improves the Outcomes and Survival of Grafts Performed in Eyes with Diseased Stroma and Healthy Endothelium (An American Ophthalmological Society Thesis). (2015)

Refractive and visual outcomes of mushroom PK compare favorably with those of conventional full-thickness keratoplasty. In eyes at high risk for immunologic rejection, mushroom PK provides a considerably higher probability of graft survival than conventional PK.
Optical Coherence Microscopy (2001)

We report a new method for improved optical sectioning in confocal microscopy. Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) uses low-coherence interferometry to improve image contrast in highly scattering media. OCM is an adaptation of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new method for non-invasive cross-sectional imaging of tissue microstructure.1 The extension of this technique to confocal microscopy offers the potential for micron-resolution imaging without the need for biopsy in highly scattering media such as skin and endoscopically accessible tissues.
Practising organometallic chemistry in nineteenth century Australia: David Orme Masson and diethyl magnesium (2022)

By the late 1880s, the existence of alkyl derivatives of metals such as zinc and mercury was well established but diethyl magnesium had been poorly characterised and obtaining proof of its existence was a reasonable aim for chemists. Professor David Orme Masson and his student, Norman Wilsmore, at the university in the British colonial capital, Melbourne, accepted the challenge despite their distance from northern hemisphere centres of chemical research. The ‘tyranny of distance’ was tempered by their access to chemical journals and textbooks and by Masson’s connections at the ‘centre’, notably with William Ramsay. Wilsmore repeated the earlier experiments and also used methods that had been successful with other metals, but was unable to prepare diethyl magnesium. Masson rationalised this failure on the basis of the element’s position in the periodic classification of the elements that Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer had published, and on magnesium’s position on the atomic volume curve of Meyer, and concluded that diethyl magnesium could not exist. The weakness of these arguments was revealed when, near-coincidentally with Masson’s and Wilsmore’s publication of the results of their experiments, Philippe Löhr, working in Meyer’s laboratory, published successful syntheses of several alkyl magnesium derivatives by methods that had been unsuccessful in Wilsmore’s hands. Masson’s heuristic use of Meyer’s curve was unusual, and a notable feature of his approach to chemistry.
Late Occurrence of Heart Block After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of the Septal Region: Clinical Follow‐Up and Outcome (2001)

Late unexpected heart block after RFCA of AV nodal reentry and posteroseptal AP is rare, often resolves uneventfully in 1 to 2 weeks, and no specific electrophysiologic findings predicted its occurrence. Prolonged clinical observation is preferable to immediate pacemaker implantation in such patients.
Atmospheric Waves Experiment (WAVE) Calibration (2020)

The Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) is the first dedicated NASA mission to investigate global gravity wave properties in the upper atmosphere and their impacts on the ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere (ITM). The AWE Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) will fly on the ISS and measure temperature waves in the OH airglow layer. The OH temperature waves are produced by gravity waves that rise from the Troposphere into the Mesosphere and spread out horizontally in the OH airglow layer at ~87km altitude, carrying energy and momentum with them. The temperature waves are observed by measuring the background-subtracted ratio of OH P1(2) and P1(4) emission line radiances. The AWE calibration will be performed at SDL in the large THOR chamber using collimator and extended blackbody sources. The AMTM has a very large 90° field-of-view, and the ground calibration must be performed over this full range, requiring a 2-axis gimbal platform in the THOR chamber. This paper will summarize ISS-specific challenges and ground and on-orbit calibration plans.
Low temperature selective silicon epitaxy by ultra high vacuum rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition using Si2H6, H2 and Cl2 (1996)

We present the use of the Si2H6/H2/CL2 chemistry for selective silicon epitaxy by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD). The experiments were carried out in an ultrahigh vacuum rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition reactor. Epitaxial layers were grown selectively with growth rates above 150 nm/min at 800 °C and 24 mTorr using 10% Si2H6 and H2 and Cl2 with a minimum Si:Cl ratio of 1. Excellent selectivity with respect to SiO2 and Si3N4 was obtained indicating that very low Cl2 partial pressures are sufficient to preserve selectivity. In situ doping results with B2H6 show that sharp doping transitions and a wide range of B concentrations can be obtained with a slight B incorporation rate reduction with Cl2 addition. Our results indicate that UHV-RTCVD with the Si2H6/H2/Cl2 chemistry yields highly selective Si epitaxy with growth rates well within the practical throughput limits of single wafer manufacturing and with a potential to reduce the Cl content below the levels used in conventional SiH2Cl2 based selective epitaxy processes.
Fault location in distribution network using cumulative approach (2013)

In distribution system, the subject of fault location has been of considerable interest for a long time. The objective of this paper is to develop Cumulative approach for fault location based on statuses of Fault Indicators (FI), Circuit Breakers (CB), Fuses and Fault Impedances from distance protection devices. This approach is using mainly graph theory algorithms and Area Marking Strategy to resolve fault diagnosis problem in electric power networks. Unlike neighborhood approach where one link only affects the marking of neighbor areas, cumulative approach marks all areas down the link. In many situations, cumulative approach may outperform neighbor approach.
Advances and challenges in retinoid delivery systems in regenerative and therapeutic medicine (2020)

Retinoids regulate a wide spectrum of cellular functions from the embryo throughout adulthood, including cell differentiation, metabolic regulation, and inflammation. These traits make retinoids very attractive molecules for medical purposes. In light of some of the physicochemical limitations of retinoids, the development of drug delivery systems offers several advantages for clinical translation of retinoid-based therapies, including improved solubilization, prolonged circulation, reduced toxicity, sustained release, and improved efficacy. In this Review, we discuss advances in preclinical and clinical tests regarding retinoid formulations, specifically the ones based in natural retinoids, evaluated in the context of regenerative medicine, brain, cancer, skin, and immune diseases. Advantages and limitations of retinoid formulations, as well as prospects to push the field forward, will be presented.
Flux and speed numerical control of a voltage-fed asynchronous induction machine (1980)

The authors present the study and the realisation of a stator flux&apos;s numerical regulation for a voltage-fed asynchionous machine. The stator flux is estimated by an observer that reconstitutes it from electrical variables measured on an experimental apparatus. The asynchronous machine works with its stator flux maintained constant during all the transient operating conditions; the electromagnetic torque is then proportional to the rotor-current angular frequency (ωτ), i.e. the system input. It follows that the entire process is a first-order system and that the speed regulation study is easy. The flux measurement and the flux and speed regulations are realised with numerical techniques.

Projection Pursuit (1985)

Projection pursuit is concerned with "interesting" projections of high dimensional data sets, with finding such projections by machine, and with using them for nonparametric fitting and other data-analytic purposes. This survey attempts to put the fascinating problems and ramifications of projection pursuit--which range from principal components, multidimensional scaling, factor analysis, nonparametric regression, density estimation and deconvolution of time series to computer tomography and problems in pure mathematics--into a coherent perspective
Mercury Binding to the Chelation Therapy Agents DMSA and DMPS and the Rational Design of Custom Chelators for Mercury (2004)

Clinical chelation therapy of mercury poisoning generally uses one or both of two drugs--meso-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid (DMPS), commercially sold as Chemet and Dimaval, respectively. We have used a combination of mercury L(III)-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations to investigate the chemistry of interaction of mercuric ions with each of these chelation therapy drugs. We show that neither DMSA nor DMPS forms a true chelate complex with mercuric ions and that these drugs should be considered suboptimal for their clinical task of binding mercuric ions. We discuss the design criteria for a mercuric specific chelator molecule or "custom chelator", which might form the basis for an improved clinical treatment.
Improved outcomes in patients with hepatitis C with difficult‐to‐treat characteristics (2008)

Higher fixed doses of peginterferon alfa-2a (270 microg/week) and ribavirin (1600 mg/day) may increase sustained virologic response rates compared with lower doses of both drugs in patients with a cluster of difficult-to-treat characteristics.
Review of progress toward 20% efficiency flexible CIGS solar cells and manufacturing issues of solar modules (2013)

Solar cells based on chalcopyrite Cu(In, Ga)Se <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> (CIGS) absorber layers show the highest potential for low-cost solar electricity by yielding comparable efficiencies to polycrystalline Si wafer-based cells, while also offering inherent advantages of thin-film technology for cost reduction.Highest efficiency of 20.3% was recently achieved on rigid glass substrate. Deposition of CIGS films onto flexible substrates opens new fields of applications and could significantly decrease production costs by employing roll-to-roll manufacturing and monolithic integration of solar cells to develop modules. Whereas, some years back, it seemed difficult to reach performance levels on flexible substrates similar to that obtained on glass, recent results on flexible polyimide prove that the efficiency gap can be significantly reduced. Different materials, i.e., mostly metals or plastics, have been used as flexible substrates, with highest cell efficiency of 18.7% demonstrated on a polyimide film. Improvements in efficiencies of flexible solar cells and modules achieved over the past few decades are discussed in this paper, addressing the main characteristics of substrate materials. The technology transfer from laboratory research to large-scale industrial production of CIGS modules leads to new manufacturing challenges, mainly for CIGS deposition, interconnections of cells, and long-term performance stability.
Address allocation algorithm for event-based wireless sensor network (2009)

The research on the address allocation for wireless sensor network is seldom,particularly in the network based eventdriven.The representative address allocation protocols are analyzed,and a minimum Hop-Count Address Allocation(HCAA) is proposed:During the boot up phase each node gets their minimum hop-count.When the node detects their interesting event,it can build the communication with sink node by the hop-count,and get its communication address.The analysis and simulation validate that the method reduce the overheads of the communication and meets the constraints of low energy consumption and limits processing power in wireless sensor network.
Experimental Study on Reinforcement Effect of Post-Installed Shear Reinforcement on a Reinforced Concrete Column (2023)

本研究は，従来の耐震補強工法では施工が困難な立地条件にある既設鉄筋コンクリート橋脚を対象とし，せん断耐力の向上を目的とした補強工法の開発を目的としている。これまで背面を地盤に接する地中構造物等では，構造上の制約条件から部材の片側からのみの補強施工が可能となるあと施工型のせん断補強工法が開発されてきたが，道路橋の鉄筋コンクリート橋脚における検証事例は少ない。今回，鉄筋コンクリート橋脚を模したRC柱試験体に対する水平方向の正負交番載荷試験を行い，変形特性と損傷状況等からあと施工型せん断補強鉄筋の補強効果を検証し，あと施工型せん断補強鉄筋はRC柱試験体においてもせん断補強効果が発揮されるが，変形性能には補強効果が確認されなかったことを報告する。
