GPS Spoofing Detection by Leveraging 5G Positioning Capabilities (2022)

Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most predominant non-authenticated navigation system used in transportation networks for geolocation and timing. The security of GPS is not addressed at the design level, and its implementation is public knowledge, making all GPS-equipped devices susceptible to GPS spoofing attacks. Existing solutions such as cryptography are either not backward compatible or too expensive to implement. Here, we propose an approach without such drawbacks. We present a novel technique to detect GPS spoofing attacks by comparing the final estimated location based on the GPS measurements with that derived by 5G New Radio positioning signals. In case of discrepancy, we detect the GPS spoofing attack and bypass the attacker by replacing the GPS-based localization with 5G-based localization. Our experiments show a detection rate above 98%.
Eversion of the Laryngeal Ventricle (1975)

Eversion of the laryngeal ventricle is a rare lesion that presents with cough and/or voice changes. Laryngoscopy reveals a polypoid mass arising from the ventricle. Microscopically a polyp covered with ventricular mucosa and containing normal laryngeal mucous glands is seen. Chronic inflammation is usually present. Treatment in symptomatic cases consists of surgical removal endoscopically or by laryngofissure. The management of one patient is reported with a discussion of the cause, symptoms, and treatment of this condition.
Poly(fluorenevinylene) derivatives by Heck coupling: Synthesis, photophysics, and electroluminescence (2006)

Abstract Three new poly(fluorenevinylene) derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and used as emissive materials in light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). They were synthesized by Heck coupling of 9,9‐dihexyl‐2,7‐divinylfluorene with 2,7‐dibromo‐9,9‐dihexylfluorene, 2,3‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)quinoxaline, or 2,5‐bis(4‐bromophenyl)‐3,4‐diphenylthiophene to afford the polymers F , Q , and T , respectively. Polymers F and Q had medium number–average molecular weights ( M n ˜ 14,000) with relatively narrow polydispersity (1.3–1.6), while T was obtained as an oligomer ( M n ˜ 4000). All polymers were soluble in common organic solvents, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), chloroform, dichloromethane, and toluene. They emitted blue‐greenish fluorescence light in dilute THF solution (444–491 nm), with photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields of 0.32–0.54, and in thin film (453–488 nm). LEDs with the configuration of ITO/PEDOT‐PSS/Polymer/Li:Al were fabricated and evaluated. The electroluminescence (EL) spectra of the Q and F polymers were very broad covering the blue–green–red region, whereas the spectrum of the polymer T was almost purely blue. The threshold electrical field for light emission of the devices was almost the same (˜1.75 MV/cm). The external quantum efficiency of the devices of polymers Q and F was about 1.0 × 10 −3 %, whereas that of polymer T was ˜3.0 × 10 −5 %. The fluorescence lifetime of polymers F and Q was significantly longer than that of the polymer T . © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 4494–4507, 2006
Genome-wide pleiotropy analysis of coronary artery disease and pneumonia identifies shared immune pathways (2022)

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death despite scientific advances. Elucidating shared CAD/pneumonia pathways may reveal novel insights regarding CAD pathways. We performed genome-wide pleiotropy analyses of CAD and pneumonia, examined the causal effects of the expression of genes near independently replicated SNPs and interacting genes with CAD and pneumonia, and tested interactions between disruptive coding mutations of each pleiotropic gene and smoking status on CAD and pneumonia risks. Identified pleiotropic SNPs were annotated to <i>ADAMTS7</i> and <i>IL6R</i>. Increased <i>ADAMTS7</i> expression across tissues consistently showed decreased risk for CAD and increased risk for pneumonia; increased <i>IL6R</i> expression showed increased risk for CAD and decreased risk for pneumonia. We similarly observed opposing CAD/pneumonia effects for <i>NLRP3</i>. Reduced <i>ADAMTS7</i> expression conferred a reduced CAD risk without increased pneumonia risk only among never-smokers. Genetic immune-inflammatory axes of CAD linked to respiratory infections implicate <i>ADAMTS7</i> and <i>IL6R</i>, and related genes.
Visualization system for sound field using see-through head-mounted display (2018)

For the visualization of a sound field, a widely used method is the superimposition of the sound information onto a camera view. Although it effectively enables the understanding the relationship between space and sound, a planar display cannot resolve depth information in a straightforward manner. In contrast, a see-through head-mounted display (STHMD) is capable of representing three-dimensional (3D) vision and natural augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR). In this paper, we propose a system for the measurement and visualization of a sound field with an STHMD. We created two visualization systems using different types of STHMDs and technologies for realizing AR/MR and a measurement system for a 3D sound intensity map, which can be used together with the visualization system. Through three visualization experiments, we empirically found that the stereoscopic viewing and the convenient viewpoint movement associated with the STHMD enables understanding of the sound field in a short time.
ULTRATHIN GRAPHENE OXIDE MEMBRANES/COATINGS FOR SEPARATIONS (2014)

Graphene oxide (GO) was utilized as a novel material for making ultrathin membranes for gas separation and for making functional coatings for nano-/ultra-filtration in oil/water separation. Fundamental separation mechanisms by ultrathin GO membranes/coatings and potential applications were explored. This work can be divided into three parts. In the first part, ultrathin GO membranes supported on flat and smooth anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrates, with thickness down to 1.8 nm, were prepared by a facile vacuum filtration method. The as-prepared GO membranes were then studied for single-gas permeation and hydrogen mixture separation. It was revealed that the separation mechanism for the ultrathin GO membranes followed the molecular sieving. Ultrathin GO membranes represent a new type of membranes that may realize high throughput molecular-sieving separation at low energy cost. In the second part of this work, GO was used as a coating material to modify macroporous polyamide (PA) supports, by a similar vacuum filtration approach. The supported GO membranes showed superoleophobicity and low oil-adhesion underwater. This could be ascribed to the hierarchically rough membrane surface and excellent water “locking” property of GO. The hierarchical roughness was introduced by the combination of the intrinsic micro-scaled roughness of the PA support with the nano-scaled corrugation of GO flakes. Oil/water separation results showed that by optimizing GO coating thickness, antifouling property and 100% pure water flux recovery were achieved. As an extension of the second section, the third section of the thesis work was focused on tuning oleophobicity of GO coatings under water by gradually modifying the chemistry and structure of GO flakes using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The underwater oleophobicity of GO coatings was tuned gradually, simply by controlling the UV treatment time. Oxidative UV etching was shown to generate more and larger structural defects on GO flakes, which increased the nano-scaled roughness on GO flakes. In addition, more hydrophilic oxygen-containing groups, such as carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl and epoxy, introduced by UV irradiation, improved the ability of GO to attract and "lock" water molecules at the coating surface, which effectively lowers oil adhesion. The GO flakes with different UV treatment time were fabricated into GO membranes on PA supports. A series of oil/water separations were conducted for these GO membranes, and membrane recovery capability was greatly improved with the optimized UV etching time.

Association Between Serum Cathepsin S and Mortality in Older Adults (2011)

Among elderly individuals in 2 independent cohorts, higher serum cathepsin S levels were associated with increased mortality risk. Additional research is needed to delineate the role of cathepsin S and whether its measurement might have clinical utility.
Preparation of PbTiO<sub>3</sub> by CVD Using PbO and Titanium Tetra-<i>i</i>-propoxide (1988)

PbTiO3 was deposited on a (110) sapphire substrate by chemical vapor deposition using PbO and titanium tetra-i-propoxide (Ti[OCH(CH3)2]4: TTIP). PbO and TTIP vapors generated at 1100°-1270°C and 64°-174°C respectively were transported to a substrate with carrier gases of Ar (350ml/min) and O2 (350ml/min). One-phase PbTiO3 was obtained at substrate temperatures (Ts) from 600° to 1150°C. Morphology of PbTiO3 formed on the substrate was fine particle (Ts=600°-800°C), large particle (800°-1100°C) and platelet (1100°-1150°C). Good adhesion was observed between the deposit and the substrate above Ts=800°C. The platelets had crystalline preferred orientation. The crystallographic plane parallel to substrate changed from (111) to (100) and (001) with increasing TTIP evaporation temperature.
A study of the relationship between neurological function and serum vitamin E concentrations in patients with cystic fibrosis. (1985)

A patient with cystic fibrosis and undetectable serum vitamin E concentrations is described who developed a progressive spinocerebellar syndrome and pigmentary retinopathy with abnormal somatosensory and visual evoked potentials (SSEPs and VEPs). In order to assess the relationship between neurological function and serum vitamin E concentrations in cystic fibrosis, 29 unselected patients who had no neurological symptoms were examined neurologically. Ten were randomly selected for neurophysiological assessment by recording SSEPs and VEPs. Electroretinograms (ERGs) were also performed in five cases. The findings were correlated with serum vitamin E concentrations which were unknown to the neurological investigators prior to completion of the study. Only one patient had definite reflex and sensory abnormalities, and the remaining 28 were clinically normal. The ERG was abnormal in two cases, one of whom had abnormal VEPs. SSEPs were normal in all 10 cases. Twenty six patients had serum vitamin E concentrations below the normal range. In two of the three patients who had definite neurological or electrophysiological abnormalities serum vitamin E concentrations were below the median value for the whole group.
Liposome-based high-throughput and point-of-care assays toward the quick, simple, and sensitive detection of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in patient sera (2023)

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in 2019 caused an increased interest in neutralizing antibody tests to determine the immune status of the population. Standard live-virus-based neutralization assays such as plaque-reduction assays or pseudovirus neutralization tests cannot be adapted to the point-of-care (POC). Accordingly, tests quantifying competitive binding inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 by neutralizing antibodies have been developed. Here, we present a new platform using sulforhodamine B encapsulating liposomes decorated with RBD as foundation for the development of both a fluorescent, highly feasible high-throughput (HTS) and a POC-ready neutralizing antibody assay. RBD-conjugated liposomes are incubated with serum and subsequently immobilized in an ACE2-coated plate or mixed with biotinylated ACE2 and used in test strip with streptavidin test line, respectively. Polyclonal neutralizing human antibodies were shown to cause complete binding inhibition, while S309 and CR3022 human monoclonal antibodies only caused partial inhibition, proving the functionality of the assay. Both formats, the HTS and POC assay, were then tested using 20 sera containing varying titers of neutralizing antibodies, and a control panel of sera including prepandemic sera and reconvalescent sera from respiratory infections other than SARS-CoV-2. Both assays correlated well with a standard pseudovirus neutralization test (r = 0.847 for HTS and r = 0.614 for POC format). Furthermore, excellent correlation (r = 0.868) between HTS and POC formats was observed. The flexibility afforded by liposomes as signaling agents using different dyes and sizes can hence be utilized in the future for a broad range of multianalyte neutralizing antibody diagnostics.
The Pulled-Macro-Dataflow Model: An Execution Model for Multicore Shared-Memory Computers (2011)

The macro-dataflow model of execution has been used in scheduling heuristics for directed acyclic graphs. Since this model was developed for the scheduling of parallel applications on distributed computing systems, it is inadequate when applied to the multicore shared-memory computers prevalent in the market today. The pulled-macro-dataflow model is put forth as an alternative to the macro-dataflow model, having been designed specifically to accurately describe the memory bandwidth limitations and request-driven nature of communications characteristic of today's machines. The performance of the common scheduling heuristics DSC and CASS-II are evaluated under the pulled-macro-dataflow model and it is shown that their poor performance motivates the development of a new scheduling heuristic. The Concurrent Tournament Reducer (ConTouR) is developed as a scheduling heuristic which operates well with the pulled-macro-dataflow model. ConTouR is compared to the existing heuristics Load Balancing and Communication Minimization in scheduling two programs. For both programs, the other reducers are shown to outperform ConTouR.

Assessment of Antibody Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease Using Porcine Thyroid Cells (1992)

Antibody Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity (ADCC) appears to be involved in Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (AITD). Homologous system may trigger non-specific reactions which might obscure specific ADCC. Heterologous target cells may be useful for studying ADCC, provided relevant antigen(s) are expressed. We therefore tested the capacity of porcine thyroid cells to elicit ADCC reaction in the presence of sera from various patients with AITD. Porcine thyroid cells were used in a 4-hr chromium release assay in the presence of 1/10 heat inactivated human sera and human peripheral blood lymphocytes at a 30:1 effector-target ratio. There was a significant correlation (r = 0.64; P < 0.01) between ADCC activities tested on human or porcine thyroid cells. Serum or IgG effects on porcine thyroid ADCC were dose-dependent between 1/10 to 1/10,000 dilutions. Non-thyroid cell systems were unaffected by thyroid cytotoxic sera. Porcine thyrocyte susceptibility to ADCC peaked at the fourth day of culture and was enhanced by addition of TSH or TSH and methimazole in the culture medium. Using this heterologous system, we demonstrated ADCC activity in a significant proportion of patients with thyroiditis (14/19), Graves' opthalmopathy (19/44) or of mothers of children with congenital hypothyroidism (14/39) and in the children themselves (15/39). Discrepancies observed in some sera between ADCC activity and antithyroperoxidase antibody suggest that thyroperoxidase is not the only antigen involved in ADCC. These results indicate that porcine thyroid cells appear suitable for ADCC assay in patients with AITD. Also this system should be helpful to characterize the antigen-antibody involved.

Volumetric and Shape Analysis of the Thalamus and Striatum in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (2015)

Alterations in brain structures, including progressive neurodegeneration, are a hallmark in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, pathological mechanisms, such as the accumulation of amyloid and the proliferation of tau, are thought to begin years, even decades, before the initial clinical manifestations of AD. In this study, we compare the brain anatomy of amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients (aMCI, n = 16) to healthy subjects (CS, n = 22) using cortical thickness, subcortical volume, and shape analysis, which we believe to be complimentary to volumetric measures. We were able to replicate "classical" cortical thickness alterations in aMCI in the hippocampus, amygdala, putamen, insula, and inferior temporal regions. Additionally, aMCI showed significant thalamic and striatal shape differences. We observed higher global amyloid deposition in aMCI, a significant correlation between striatal displacement and global amyloid, and an inverse correlation between executive function and right-hemispheric thalamic displacement. In contrast, no volumetric differences were detected in thalamic, striatal, and hippocampal regions. Our results provide new evidence for early subcortical neuroanatomical changes in patients with aMCI, which are linked to cognitive abilities and amyloid deposition. Hence, shape analysis may aid in the identification of structural biomarkers for identifying individuals at highest risk of conversion to AD.

Using Next-Generation Sequencing for DNA Barcoding: Capturing Allelic Variation in ITS2 (2017)

Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) is a popular DNA barcoding marker; however, in some animal species it is hypervariable and therefore difficult to sequence with traditional methods. With next-generation sequencing (NGS) it is possible to sequence all gene variants despite the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), homopolymeric regions, and microsatellites. Our aim was to compare the performance of Sanger sequencing and NGS amplicon sequencing in characterizing ITS2 in 26 mosquito species represented by 88 samples. The suitability of ITS2 as a DNA barcoding marker for mosquitoes, and its allelic diversity in individuals and species, was also assessed. Compared to Sanger sequencing, NGS was able to characterize the ITS2 region to a greater extent, with resolution within and between individuals and species that was previously not possible. A total of 382 unique sequences (alleles) were generated from the 88 mosquito specimens, demonstrating the diversity present that has been overlooked by traditional sequencing methods. Multiple indels and microsatellites were present in the ITS2 alleles, which were often specific to species or genera, causing variation in sequence length. As a barcoding marker, ITS2 was able to separate all of the species, apart from members of the Culex pipiens complex, providing the same resolution as the commonly used Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI). The ability to cost-effectively sequence hypervariable markers makes NGS an invaluable tool with many applications in the DNA barcoding field, and provides insights into the limitations of previous studies and techniques.
Scalable Synthesis of Monolayer Hexagonal Boron Nitride on Graphene with Giant Bandgap Renormalization (2022)

Monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been widely considered a fundamental building block for 2D heterostructures and devices. However, the controlled and scalable synthesis of hBN and its 2D heterostructures has remained a daunting challenge. Here, an hBN/graphene (hBN/G) interface-mediated growth process for the controlled synthesis of high-quality monolayer hBN is proposed and further demonstrated. It is discovered that the in-plane hBN/G interface can be precisely controlled, enabling the scalable epitaxy of unidirectional monolayer hBN on graphene, which exhibits a uniform moiré superlattice consistent with single-domain hBN, aligned to the underlying graphene lattice. Furthermore, it is identified that the deep-ultraviolet emission at 6.12 eV stems from the 1s-exciton state of monolayer hBN with a giant renormalized direct bandgap on graphene. This work provides a viable path for the controlled synthesis of ultraclean, wafer-scale, atomically ordered 2D quantum materials, as well as the fabrication of 2D quantum electronic and optoelectronic devices.
A QoS Control Method for a Remote Monitoring System to Achieve both Short Delay of O&M Sensor Data and High Throughput (2018)

The use of Internet and Mobile Broadband Network are spreading in the field of Remote Monitoring Systems for facilities located in buildings and factories. These best effort services experience large packet transmission delay, random and frequent packet loss, etc. It has been a technical issue to achieve guarantee for the maximum delay of the O&M sensor data, and high average throughput including the other data. In this paper, a new method for QoS control is proposed. It achieves delay guarantee and high throughput at the same time, controlling transmission speed of TX data in accordance with the estimated bandwidth of the network. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated using a commercial cellular network. It was shown that the proposed method can achieve both delay guarantee and high throughput, while the measurement with no control could only achieve high throughput.
