Mapping Action Systems to Hardware Descriptions. (2003)

Ocular surface epithelial cells selectively respond to microbial components and induce limited inflammation, whereas immune competent cells such as macrophages can recognize various microbial components through Toll-like receptors (TLRs), induce inflammation, and, thereby, exclude microbes. The difference between macrophages and ocular surface epithelial cells could be due to their dissimilarity in coexistence with commensal bacteria. The unique innate immune response of the ocular surface epithelium might contribute to its coexistence with commensal bacteria. Moreover, we suspect that some ocular surface inflammatory disorders might be caused by abnormality of the mucosal innate immunity. We considered the possibility that there is an association between Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)--a severe variant of SJS--and a disordered innate immune response. In gene expression analysis of CD14 cells, we found that interleukin-4 receptor (IL-4R) gene expression was different between patients with SJS/TEN and normal control subjects upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation: it was downregulated in the former and slightly upregulated in the latter. Furthermore, expression of mRNA specific for IkappaBzeta and interleukin (IL)-1alpha was lower in patients with SJS/TEN than in normal controls after 1-hour culture. We next performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) association analysis of IL-4R, IkappaBzeta, and IL1alpha genes and TLR2 and TLR3--genes associated with innate immunity--in 80 Japanese patients with SJS/TEN and 160 Japanese healthy volunteers. IL4R SNP Gln551Arg (rs.1801275) (P = 0.0004), TLR3 rs.3775296T/G SNP (P = 0.0001) and TLR3 rs.3775290A/G SNP (P = 0.009) showed a significant association with SJS/TEN. IkappaBzeta SNP rs.595788G/A showed a weak inverse association (P = 0.04). Genetic and environmental factors may play a role in an integrated etiology of SJS/TEN, and there is possibly an association between SJS/TEN and a disordered innate immunity.
Stability of adaptive FIR filters (2003)

Svoboda's matrix inversion algorithm is used to analyze the adaptive FIR (finite-impulse response) filter. To get stable response, conditions of convergence and solvability have to be met. They determine the maximum correction step of the adaptive loop, the lower bound of the norm of output signal vector and the statistical properties of the reference signal. Methods of signal decorrelation are discussed and the upper bounds of resolution of a digital filter are derived. The long-term instability caused by parasitic DC voltages in the correction loop is analyzed and stabilization methods are suggested.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Structural Phase Transitions and Thermal Hysteresis in the Metal−Organic Framework Compound MIL-53 As Studied by Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy (2010)

The dehydrated aluminum form of the metal−organic framework compound MIL-53 shows a temperature-driven phase transition with pronounced structural hysteresis as recently shown by neutron diffraction and scattering experiments (Liu et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 11813). Thereby, the structure of the corner-sharing metal AlO4(OH)2 octahedra differs in terms of local symmetry for the dehydrated MIL-53(Al) material in its high- and low-temperature form with open or closed pore structure, respectively. In this work, some of the framework aluminum ions were exchanged by chromium(III) to introduce an electron spin resonance (ESR) active probe ion. The resulting material was investigated by means of ESR and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy to verify the incorporation of chromium at the octahedral framework sites. In addition, variable-temperature ESR measurements were performed to analyze the temperature-dependent phase behavior of the doped MIL-53 material. The Cr(III) ions have an electron spin S = 3/2 which shows a characteristic fine structure interaction depending very sensitively on the local symmetry of the chromium site. Therefore, the fine structure splitting of the Cr(III) probe ions allows for a concise elucidation of changes in the local symmetry at the CrO4(OH)2 octahedra which occur upon structural transitions. In agreement with results from neutron experiments, the transformation from the open to the closed pore structure was found to occur in the temperature range between 150 and 60 K whereas the back transformation is taking place within a smaller temperature interval between 330 and 375 K.

Wireless wafer probing for on-chip analog voltage measurement (2012)

This paper demonstrates a method for wirelessly measuring analog voltage on DUTs. This technique can be used for test structure characterization. The proposed voltage-to-time converter enables analog voltage values to be wirelessly delivered through capacitive coupling. A dualslope architecture is adopted to mitigate the effects of onchip R and C variation, and an UWB pulse generator is used to relay accurate timing to the ATE with low-power consumption. A prototype, fabricated in 0.13 μm CMOS achieves 8-bit resolution with 1 mV measurement steps. The total area of the on-chip wireless voltage measurement circuit is 0.013 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> excluding wireless pads.
Optimal sensor scheduling for resource-constrained localization of mobile robot formations (2006)

This paper addresses the problem of resource allocation in formations of mobile robots localizing as a group. Each robot receives measurements from various sensors that provide relative (robot-to-robot) and absolute positioning information. Constraints on the sensors' bandwidth, as well as communication and processing requirements, limit the number of measurements that are available or can be processed at each time step. The localization uncertainty of the group, determined by the covariance matrix of the equivalent continuous-time system at steady state, is expressed as a function of the sensor measurements' frequencies. The trace of the weighted covariance matrix is selected as the optimization criterion, under linear constraints on the measuring frequency of each sensor and the cumulative rate of the extended Kalman filter updates. This formulation leads to a convex optimization problem (semidefinite program) whose solution provides the sensing frequencies, for each sensor on every robot, required in order to maximize the positioning accuracy of the group. Simulation and experimental results are presented that demonstrate the applicability of this method and provide insight into the properties of the resource-constrained cooperative localization problem

Structure and Optical Properties of dc Reactive Magnetron Sputtered Zinc Oxide Films (1999)

Zinc oxide films were deposited on glass substrates in argon and oxygen atmosphere by dc reactive magnetron sputtering using a metallic zinc target. The influence of oxygen pressure and substrate temperature on the structure and optical properties of the films were systematically investigated and optimised the deposition parameters to prepare single phase zinc oxide films with preferred (002) orientation. At an optimum oxygen pressure of 1x10-3 mbar and substrate temperature of 663 K, the films exhibited an optical transmittance of 83% with a band gap of 3.28 eV.
Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes:  Synthesis and Application (2002)

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is the most promising synthesis route for economically producing large quantities of carbon nanotubes. We have developed a low-cost CVD process for the continuous production of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Here we report the effects of reactor temperature, reaction time, and carbon partial pressure on the yield, purity, and size of the MWNTs produced. A simple method for purifying and healing structural defects in the nanotubes is described. The dispersion of nanotubes in polymer matrices has been investigated as a means of deriving new and advanced engineering materials. These composite materials have been formed into fibers and thin films and their mechanical and electrical properties determined.
A revision of malbranchea-like fungi from clinical specimens in the United States of America reveals unexpected novelty (2021)

The fungi of the order Onygenales can cause important human infections; however, their taxonomy and worldwide occurrence is still little known. We have studied and identified a representative number of clinical fungi belonging to that order from a reference laboratory in the USA. A total of 22 strains isolated from respiratory tract (40%) and human skin and nails (27.2%) showed a malbranchea-like morphology. Six genera were phenotypically and molecularly identified, i.e. Auxarthron/Malbranchea (68.2%), Arachnomyces (9.1%), Spiromastigoides (9.1%), and Currahmyces (4.5%), and two newly proposed genera (4.5% each). Based on the results of the phylogenetic study, we synonymized Auxarthron with Malbranchea, and erected two new genera: Pseudoarthropsis and Pseudomalbranchea. New species proposed are: Arachnomyces bostrychodes, A. graciliformis, Currahmyces sparsispora, Malbranchea gymnoascoides, M. multiseptata, M. stricta, Pseudoarthropsis crassispora, Pseudomalbranchea gemmata, and Spiromastigoides geomycoides, along with a new combination for Malbranchea gypsea. The echinocandins showed the highest in vitro antifungal activity against the studied isolates, followed by terbinafine and posaconazole; in contrast, amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole and 5-fluorocytosine were less active or lacked in vitro activity against these fungi.

Genome-wide association study meta-analysis of suicide death and suicidal behavior (2022)

Suicide is a worldwide health crisis. We aimed to identify genetic risk variants associated with suicide death and suicidal behavior. Meta-analysis for suicide death was performed using 3765 cases from Utah and matching 6572 controls of European ancestry. Meta-analysis for suicidal behavior using data across five cohorts (n = 8315 cases and 256,478 psychiatric or populational controls of European ancestry) was also performed. One locus in neuroligin 1 (NLGN1) passing the genome-wide significance threshold for suicide death was identified (top SNP rs73182688, with p = 5.48 × 10<sup>-8</sup> before and p = 4.55 × 10<sup>-8</sup> after mtCOJO analysis conditioning on MDD to remove genetic effects on suicide mediated by MDD). Conditioning on suicidal attempts did not significantly change the association strength (p = 6.02 × 10<sup>-8</sup>), suggesting suicide death specificity. NLGN1 encodes a member of a family of neuronal cell surface proteins. Members of this family act as splice site-specific ligands for beta-neurexins and may be involved in synaptogenesis. The NRXN-NLGN pathway was previously implicated in suicide, autism, and schizophrenia. We additionally identified ROBO2 and ZNF28 associations with suicidal behavior in the meta-analysis across five cohorts in gene-based association analysis using MAGMA. Lastly, we replicated two loci including variants near SOX5 and LOC101928519 associated with suicidal attempts identified in the ISGC and MVP meta-analysis using the independent FinnGen samples. Suicide death and suicidal behavior showed positive genetic correlations with depression, schizophrenia, pain, and suicidal attempt, and negative genetic correlation with educational attainment. These correlations remained significant after conditioning on depression, suggesting pleiotropic effects among these traits. Bidirectional generalized summary-data-based Mendelian randomization analysis suggests that genetic risk for the suicidal attempt and suicide death are both bi-directionally causal for MDD.
Methods for assessment of the rate of onset and offset of insulin action during nonsteady state in humans (1993)

Measurement of glucose turnover under non-steady-state conditions has proven problematic. When the mass of the glucose pool is not changing (i.e., glucose concentrations are constant) non-steady-state error can be minimized if all glucose entering the circulation has the same specific activity as plasma [radioactive infused glucose (hot-GINF) method]. Alternatively, a second tracer can be used to measure the effective volume of glucose [variable-pV method of Issekutz (T. Issekutz, R. Issekutz, and D. Elahi. (Can. J. Physiol. 52:215-224, 1974)]. To determine whether these techniques provide concordant assessments of insulin action under non-steady-state conditions, glucose turnover was measured in six subjects. After initiation of insulin (0.6 mU.kg-1 x min-1), both methods indicated similar rates of suppression of hepatic glucose release, which was complete by approximately 100-120 min. In contrast, the traditional fixed-pV method of Steele (R. Steele, J. Wall, R. DeBodo, and N. Altszuler. Am. J. Physiol. 187:15-24 1956) underestimated turnover (P < 0.01) resulting in apparent complete suppression of glucose release within approximately 40 min (P < 0.01 vs. other methods). The hot-GINF and variable-pV methods also yielded similar estimates of turnover after discontinuation of insulin. Both indicated that resumption of hepatic glucose release was slower (P < 0.01) and fall of glucose uptake faster (P < 0.01) than suggested by the fixed-pV method. Thus both the hot-GINF and variable-pV methods avoid non-steady-state error introduced by the fixed-pV method and provide concordant assessments of the rate of onset and offset of insulin action.

Non–Bayesian quickest detection (2008)

In Chapter 5, we considered the quickest detection problem within the framework proposed by Kolmogorov and Shiryaev, in which the unknown change point is assumed to be a random variable with a given, geometric, prior distribution. This formulation led to a very natural detection procedure; namely, announce a change at the first upcrossing of a suitable threshold by the posterior probability of a change. Although the assumption of a prior on the change point is rather natural in applications such as condition monitoring, there are other applications in which this assumption is unrealistic. For example, in surveillance or inspection systems, there is often no pre–existing statistical model for the occurence of intruders or flaws.
Solvation and Spectra of a Charge Transfer Solute in Ethanol Confined within Nanoscale Silica Pores (2012)

The free energy and electronic fluorescence spectra of a model solute solvated by ethanol in a nanoscale silica pore are examined as a function of the solute position, with the aim of improving our understanding of solvation in nanoconfined environments. The results indicate that the position distribution of the solute depends on its dipole moment as well as on the surface interactions of the silica pore, i.e., hydrophilic or hydrophobic (uncharged). Further, the solute fluorescence spectrum is a function of the solute position in the hydrophilic pore, but is independent of position in the hydrophobic pore. The origins of these results are investigated, including by decomposition of the free energy as a function of solute position into the contributing interactions. The implications for time-dependent fluorescence (TDF) experiments, used commonly to probe solvation dynamics in nanoconfined solvent systems, are considered. The possible role of chromophore diffusion in TDF measurements, and chemistry in nanoconfined liquids more broadly, is given particular emphasis.

Overload-proof LTCC differential pressure sensors for high temperature applications (2018)

This paper present the development of a miniaturized, overload-proof and high-temperature-stable differential pressure sensor in ceramic multilayer technology for requirements in the automotive, aerospace and chemical industries. Currently there is no cost-effective or suitable solution to make on site active signal processing of the relevant parameters pressure and temperature. The main reasons for this are the lack of active high-temperature components (e.g. pressure and temperature transmitters), as well as the missing but necessary high temperature assembly and connection techniques (mechanical structure and electrical contacts >250 °C). Therefore, the aim of the project is to develop an economically viable solution of a high-temperature and overload-resistant ceramic pressure sensor for measurement data at high temperatures (≥300 °C) and to provide these data (high-temperature electronics / AVT).
Synthesis of a Photoaffinity Taxol Analog and Its Use in Labeling Tubulin (1994)

A photoaffinity analogue of taxol, N-([3,5-3H]-4-azidobenzoyl)-N-debenzoyltaxol (7), was synthesized and used to photolabel microtubules. Approximately 20% of the noncovalently bound analogue becomes covalently bound upon irradiation at 300 nm. Incorporated label was stable to a 50% ethanol solution and sodium dodecyl sulfate. About 80% of the incorporated label was found in the beta-subunit and 20% in the alpha-subunit. Incorporation did not occur into unpolymerized tubulin, consistent with the fact that taxol binds only to polymerized tubulin, and was decreased by the presence of taxol. Little or no nonspecific labeling occurs. This analogue is currently being used to identify taxol binding site(s) on tubulin.
Efficient, Predictive Tomography of Multi-Qubit Quantum Processors (2020)

After decades of R&D, quantum computers comprising more than 2 qubits are appearing. If this progress is to continue, the research community requires a capability for precise characterization (“tomography”) of these enlarged devices, which will enable benchmarking, improvement, and finally certification as mission-ready. As world leaders in characterization -- our gate set tomography (GST) method is the current state of the art – the project team is keenly aware that every existing protocol is either (1) catastrophically inefficient for more than 2 qubits, or (2) not rich enough to predict device behavior. GST scales poorly, while the popular randomized benchmarking technique only measures a single aggregated error probability. This project explored a new insight: that the combinatorial explosion plaguing standard GST could be avoided by using an ansatz of few-qubit interactions to build a complete, efficient model for multi-qubit errors. We developed this approach, prototyped it, and tested it on a cutting-edge quantum processor developed by Rigetti Quantum Computing (RQC), a US-based startup. We implemented our new models within Sandia’s PyGSTi open-source code, and tested them experimentally on the RQC device by probing crosstalk. We found two major results: first, our schema worked and is viable for further development; second, while the Rigetti device is indeed a “real” 8-qubit quantum processor, its behavior fluctuated significantly over time while we were experimenting with it and this drift made it difficult to fit our models of crosstalk to the data.
Quantitative 3D modelling of the left ventrical from ultrasound images [ventrical read ventricle] (2002)

There is an established clinical correlation between coronary heart disease and geometric deformation of the left ventricle, the performance of which is commonly used to evaluate cardiac efficiency. Currently, ventricle performance is often estimated from 2D geometric reconstructions of this chamber using a non-invasive imaging modality. A new model is presented which creates a 3D representation of the left ventricle with minimal geometric assumptions using a helical fibre. This model allows clinically recognised quantitative measurements such as volume, ejection fraction, surface area and Fourier analysis to be obtained as well as multi-plane curvature which is not possible using conventional 2D techniques. This technique is implemented within a comprehensive software package, which enables these measures to be extracted from the interactive 3D reconstruction, and thus allows both qualitative and quantitative assessments to be made.
