Raman lasers using low birefringence synthetic diamond: Material characterisation, device design, and an initial demonstration (2009)

Intracavity Raman lasers are a simple means to shift the frequency of solid-state lasers. The authors report on the use of new low birefringence diamond to address this issue in conventional lasers and its subsequent use in a CW Raman laser.
Bayesian Analysis of Adaptive One-Factor-at-a-Time Experimentation (2007)

This paper considers the problem of achieving improvements through adaptive experimentation. To limit the focus we consider only design spaces with discrete two-level factors. We prove that, in a Bayesian framework, one factor at a time experimentation is an optimally efficient response to step by step accrual of sample information. We derive Bayesian predictive distributions for experimentation outcomes given natural conjugate priors. Using an example based on fatigue life of weld repaired castings, we show how to use our results.
Distributed feedback X-ray lasers in single crystals (1974)

There are two main obstacles in the&#13;\nway of obtaining laser action in the X-ray&#13;\nregion. The first involves the pumping&#13;\nnecessary to obtain the critical inversion.&#13;\nThe second one is that of the optical feedback.
5.10 A 4.7MHz 53&#x03BC;W fully differential CMOS reference clock oscillator with &#x2212;22dB worst-case PSNR for miniaturized SoCs (2015)

Low-power CMOS reference clock oscillators have been widely used in miniaturized SoCs for emerging microsystems such as implantable biomedical devices and smart sensors. In such SoCs, as the supply voltage shrinks and the level of analog and digital circuit integration increases to meet rigorous power and area constraints, the noise from other blocks (especially digital blocks) couples through supply and ground lines and poses a serious threat to the performance of CMOS reference clock oscillators.
Nutritional significance of fermented foods (1994)

Fermented foods are of great significance because they provide and preserve vast quantities of nutritious food in a wide diversity of flavours, aromas and textures which enrich the human diet. Fermented foods have been with us since humans arrived on earth. They will be with us far into the future as they are the source of alcoholic foods/beverages, vinegar, pickled vegetables, sausages, cheeses, yogurts, vegetable protein amino acid/peptide sauces and pastes with meat-like flavours, and leavened and sour-dough breads. While the Western world can afford to enrich its foods with synthetic vitamins, the developing world must rely upon biological enrichment for its vitamins and essential amino acids. The affluent Western world cans and freezes much of its food but the developing world must rely upon fermentation and dehydration to preserve and process its foods at costs within the budget of the average consumer. All consumers today have a considerable portion of their nutritional needs met through fermented foods and beverages. This is likely to expand in the 21st century when world population reaches 8–12 billion (109).
The structure of the “THE”-multiprogramming system (1968)

A multiprogramming system is described in which all activities are divided over a number of sequential processes. These sequential processes are placed at various hierarchical levels, in each of which one or more independent abstractions have been implemented. The hierarchical structure proved to be vital for the verification of the logical soundness of the design and the correctness of its implementation.
Reversible data hiding scheme based on significant‐bit‐difference expansion (2017)

This study presents a lossless robust data hiding scheme based on significance‐bit‐difference expansion. The original cover image can be recovered without any distortion after the hidden data have been extracted if the stego image remains intact, on the other hand, the hidden data can be robust against unintentional changes applying to the stego image, such as image compression and sometimes unavoidable addition of random noise which is below a certain level and does not change the content of an image. The proposed scheme decomposes pixels in a cover image into two parts, that is, the higher significant bits (HSB) and the least significant bits (LSB), and calculates the HSB difference between adjacent pixels. Bits are embedded into HSBs by shifting the HSB difference value histogram bins. The shift and shifting rule are fixed for all HSB difference values, and reversibility is achieved. Furthermore, owing to the separation of HSBs and LSBs, minor alteration applying to the stego image generated by non‐malicious attacks such as Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) compression, which will not change the HSB values as well as the HSB difference values, and robustness is achieved. Experimental results show that, compared with previous works, the performance of the proposed scheme is significantly improved.
Design of a fast restoration mechanism for virtual path-based ATM networks (2002)

In this paper, we propose a fast restoration mechanism for virtual path-based ATM networks. Given an ATM network topology, the capacity of each physical link, and the primary virtual path (VP) layout at system initialization, the proposed mechanism pre-assigns to each primary VP one backup VP such that (P1) the failure of a single node/link does not lead to the failure of both the primary and backup VPs, (P2) the alternate backup VP is routed on a path with the shortest hop count among all possible paths with sufficient bandwidth between the two VP terminators, and (P3) the maximum link load is minimized. During system operation, if a physical node/link fails, the proposed mechanism restores the VPs that traverse the failed node/link simply by redirecting cells on the failed VPs to their corresponding backup VPs. Moreover, the proposed mechanism also locates (i) new VPs for injured backup VPs that traverse the failed node/link, and (ii) second-generation backup VPs for newly-activated backup VPs that replace their corresponding failed primary VPs, both in a decentralized manner. We elaborate on all the component algorithms, and discuss how to configure the functionalities as software daemons that reside at each network node. The proposed mechanism is shown via event-driven simulation to be practically feasible in fast restoring failed VPs in a cost effective manner.
MRI and CT tracking of mesenchymal stem cells with novel perfluorinated alginate microcapsules (2010)

Background and objectives Stem cell therapies, although promising for treating ischemic arterial diseases, suffer from poor engraftment and the inability to noninvasively monitor and track transplanted cells in vivo. Stem cell microencapsulation in conjunction with an imaging contrast agent provides a means to prevent cell immunorejection and enable cell tracking with appropriate imaging modalities. The objective of this study was to design and evaluate a novel MRIand CT-visible, immunoprotectable alginate microcapsule containing an imaging contrast agent, perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB), for mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) delivery.
Finite elements with embedded displacement discontinuity: a generalized variable formulation (2000)

This paper is intended to bring a contribution towards a satisfactory simulation of those fracture phenomena which result in the appearance and development of discrete cracks. To this purpose, a general mixed finite element formulation is proposed, based on the concept of generalized variables in Prager's sense. The displacement field inside an element is modelled by the sum of two contributions: a regular (continuous) part which is governed by standard shape functions, and a possibly discontinuous one which is introduced soon after a suitable criterion is satisfied. The formulation is first specialized to a one-dimensional case, then a triangular element for two-dimensional problems is described in detail. Analytical and numerical examples are presented in order to clarify the formulation and to point out the essential role of inter-element conformity. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy of Asphaltene Aggregates (2007)

Asphaltene aggregation and deposition cause severe problems in nearly all phases of petroleum processing. To resolve those problems, understanding the aggregation mechanisms is a prerequisite and has attracted the interest of a great number of investigators. However, to date, the nature and extent of asphaltene aggregation remain widely debated. In the present study, we attempt to investigate asphaltene aggregation from a completely new perspective. The technique of single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) was used to investigate the response of single asphaltene aggregates under an external pulling force. Force curves representing the stretching of single asphaltene aggregates were obtained in simple electrolyte solutions (KCl and calcium) and organic solvents (toluene and heptane). These force curves were well-fitted by the modified worm-like chain model, indicating that those asphaltene aggregates acted like long-chain polymers under pulling by an external force. It was found that lower solution pH values and the presence of divalent cations resulted in a lower bending rigidity of the formed aggregates. The information retrieved from the force curves suggests that asphaltene molecules with a structure featuring small aromatic clusters connected by aliphatic chains do exist and that asphaltene aggregation could occur through a linear polymerization mechanism. The current study extends the application scope of SMFS.
Information Rates Subject to State Masking (2007)

We consider the problem of rate-R, channel coding with causal/noncausal side information at the transmitter, under an additional requirement of minimizing the amount of information that can be learned from the channel output about the state sequence, which is defined in terms of the mutual information between the state sequence and the channel output sequence. A single-letter characterization is provided for the achievable region of pairs {(R, E)}. Explicit results for the Gaussian case (Costa's dirty-paper channel) are derived in full detail.
Retrospective intermodality registration techniques for images of the head: surface-based versus volume-based (1999)

The primary objective of this study is to perform a blinded evaluation of two groups of retrospective image registration techniques, using as a gold standard a prospective marker-based registration method, and to compare the performance of one group with the other. These techniques have already been evaluated individually [27]. In this paper, however, we find that by grouping the techniques as volume based or surface based, we can make some interesting conclusions which were not visible in the earlier study. In order to ensure blindness, all retrospective registrations were performed by participants who had no knowledge of the gold-standard results until after their results had been submitted. Image volumes of three modalities: X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR), and positron emission tomography (PET) were obtained from patients undergoing neurosurgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on whom bone-implanted fiducial markers were mounted. These volumes had all traces of the markers removed and were provided via the Internet to project collaborators outside Vanderbilt, who then performed retrospective registrations on the volumes, calculating transformations from CT to MR and/or from PET to MR. These investigators communicated their transformations, again via the Internet, to Vanderbilt, where the accuracy of each registration was evaluated. In this evaluation, the accuracy is measured at multiple volumes of interest (VOI's). Our results indicate that the volume-based techniques in this study tended to give substantially more accurate and reliable results than the surface-based ones for the CT-to-MR registration tasks, and slightly more accurate results for the PET-to-MR tasks. Analysis of these results revealed that the rotational component of error was more pronounced for the surface-based group. It was also apparent that all of the registration techniques we examined have the potential to produce satisfactory results much of the time, but that visual inspection is necessary to guard against large errors.
HIT web server: A hybrid method to improve electrostatic calculations for biomolecules (2022)

The electrostatic features of highly charged biomolecules are crucial and challenging tasks in computational biophysics. The electrostatic calculations by traditional implicit solvent methods are efficient but have difficulties on highly charged biomolecules. We have developed a Hybridizing Ion Treatment (HIT) tool, which successfully hybridizes the explicit ions and implicit solvation model to accurately calculate the electrostatic potential for highly charged biomolecules. Here we implemented the HIT tool into a web server. In this study, a training set was prepared to optimize the number of frames for the HIT web server. The results on tubulins, DNAs, and RNAs, reveal the mechanisms for the motor proteins, DNA of HIV, and tRNA. This HIT web server can be widely used to study highly charged biomolecules, including DNAs, RNAs, molecular motors, and other highly charged biomolecules.

Factors that Affect the Fatigue Life of Rubber: A Literature Survey (2004)

Abstract Many factors are known to influence the mechanical fatigue life of rubber components. Four major categories of factors are reviewed here: the effects of mechanical loading history, environmental effects, effects of rubber formulation, and effects due to dissipative aspects of the constitutive response of rubber. For each category, primary factors are described, and existing literature is presented and reviewed. Rubber's fatigue behavior is extremely sensitive to both the maximum and minimum cyclic load limits. Other aspects of the mechanical load history are also discussed, including the effects of static loaded periods (“annealing”), load sequence, multiaxiality, frequency, and loading waveform. Environmental factors can affect both the short and long term fatigue behavior of rubber. The effects of temperature, oxygen, ozone, and static electrical charges are reviewed. A great range of behavior is available by proper manipulation of formulation and processing variables. Effects of elastomer type, filler type and volume fraction, antidegradants, curatives, and vulcanization are discussed. The role of dissipative constitutive behavior in the improvement of fatigue properties of rubber is also reviewed. Four distinct dissipative mechanisms are identified, and their effects on fatigue behavior are described.

A complete system for recovery of 3D shapes from engineering drawings (2002)

Converting paper-based engineering drawings into CAD model files is a tedious process, and automating the conversion of such drawings represents tremendous time and labor savings. We present a complete system which interprets such 2D paper-based engineering drawings, constructs solid models, and outputs 3D CAD-like files. While most existing systems assume that the engineering drawings have already been preprocessed to remove the dimensioning lines, this system is truly complete: It performs the detection of dimension sets, the extraction of object lines, and the assembly of 3D objects from object fines. A knowledge-based method is used to extract dimension sets and text from ANSI engineering drawings, and a graphics recognition procedure is used to extract complete object lines. In addition, a general-purpose dashed line recognition algorithm is presented. The focus of this paper, however is on the 3D interpretation of the object lines, which is accomplished using a technique that can accommodate auxiliary views in addition to the standard orthogonal set, along with planar spherical, and cylindrical object surfaces. Drawings with misaligned views and missing lines can also be interpreted. Extensive experimental results are presented.
