XAFS Study of Tungsten L1- and L3-Edges:  Structural Analysis of WO3 Species Loaded on TiO2 as a Catalyst for Photo-oxidation of NH3 (2008)

We analyzed the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra of W L1- and L3-edges in order to determine the structure of various W species on TiO2. Two 2p → 5d transitions were observed in the second derivative of the W L3-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of all samples containing W (WO3, Na2WO4, Cr2WO6, Ba2NiWO6, (NH4)10W12O41·5H2O, Sc2W3O12, H3PW12O40·13H2O, and TiO2-loaded WO3 samples). These two transitions can be assigned to 5d orbitals split by the ligand field. The split in the 5d orbital has a linear relationship with the area of pre-edge peak of the W L1-edge XANES spectrum. This linear relationship is supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the octahedral and tetrahedral W models. On the basis of this linear relationship, we estimated the structure of various W species on TiO2. The obtained structure is in accordance with the curve fitting analysis of W L3-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Additionally, we found that the octahedral WO3 species loaded on TiO2 sample exhibits the high activity for the photo-oxidation of NH3 (photo-SCO).
Synthesis, self‐assembly in water, and cytotoxicity of MPEG‐block‐PLLA/DX conjugates (2008)

Docetaxel (DX) is one of the most effective antineoplastic drugs. Its current clinical administration is limited because of its hydrophobicity and serious side effects. A polymer/DX conjugate is designed and successfully prepared to solve these problems. It is monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactide)/DX (MPEG-PLLA/DX). It was synthesized by reacting DX with carboxyl-terminated copolymer MPEG-PLLA, which was prepared by reacting succinic anhydride with hydroxyl-terminated copolymer monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactide) (MPEG-PLLA). Its structure and molecular weight was confirmed by (1)H NMR and GPC. The MPEG-PLLA/DX micelles in aqueous solution were prepared using a solvent displacement method and characterized by dynamic light scattering for size and size distribution, and by transmission electron microscopy for surface morphology. Its antitumor activity against HeLa cancer cells evaluated by MTT assay showed that it had a similar antitumor activity to pure DX at the same drug content.
Autotuning Symbolic Optimization Fabrics for Trajectory Generation (2023)

In this paper, we present an automated parameter optimization method for trajectory generation. We formulate parameter optimization as a constrained optimization problem that can be effectively solved using Bayesian optimization. While the approach is generic to any trajectory generation method, we showcase it using optimization fabrics. Optimization fabrics are a geometric trajectory generation method based on non-Riemannian geometry. By symbolically pre-solving the structure of the tree of fabrics, we obtain a parameterized trajectory generator, called symbolic fabrics. We show that autotuned symbolic fabrics reach expert-level performance in a few trials. Additionally, we show that tuning transfers across different robots, motion planning problems and between simulation and real world. Finally, we qualitatively showcase that the framework could be used for coupled mobile manipulation.
CFD modelling of hydrate slurry flow in a pipeline based on Euler-Euler approach (2020)

The presence and agglomeration of hydrates particle in oil and gas transportation pipeline can pose a major threat for the flow assurance. Understanding the hydrate-containing flow characteristics is of essence to efficiently manage and transport hydrate slurries. In this work, a 3D computational fluid dynamics model of hydrates slurry flow in pipeline was built using Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase approach. Reynolds averaged numerical simulation based on the Reynolds stress model was used to capture the turbulence. User defined functions of hydrates particle size and shear viscosity models were developed and integrated into the CFD model. The model predictions on pressure gradients at different inlet velocities and hydrates volume fractions were compared with the experimental data. Hydrates deposition characteristics were investigated and the hydrates deposition bed heights were determined for low inlet velocities. This study should provide valuable insight into hydrate-laden flow in pipelines that might help redesign them for better flow assurance.
Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of hesperidin and hesperetin in rat plasma for pharmacokinetic studies (2017)

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of hesperidin and hesperetin was necessary for a pharmacokinetic (PK) study in Wistar rats.
Coherent Equalization versus Direct Detection for 111-Gb/s Ethernet Transport (2007)

We discuss coherent equalization to realize robust 111-Gb/s transmission. For 111-Gb/s POLMUX-RZ-DQPSK we experimentally show the advantage of coherent equalization over direction detection for compensation of both chromatic dispersion and differential group delay.
Dynamic Software Product Lines for Context-Aware Web Services (2010)

As any software, Web Services have to face various execution environments. We then talk of context-aware Web Services. Moreover, Web Services could also be used in mobile environments. For such environments, it is necessary to have several products (e.g. diﬀerent implementations of the same service), which may be deployed on various terminals. Furthermore, mobility involves the ability to dynamically change the systems functions at runtime in accordance with the environment variations. A Software Product Line (SPL) paradigm may be helpful to deal with the production of such a family of products. In this chapter, we introduce CAPucine, a Context-Aware Dynamic Service-Oriented Product Line for the production and execution of context-aware web services. CAPucine proposes to express Web-Service variability through feature-diagrams and context-awareness models. CAPucine manages context-awareness (1) initially to derivate products using a Model Driven Engineering process, and (2) with an iterative process to dynamically modify the product structure and behavior due to context changes using the SCA platform and the COSMOS context management framework. CAPUcine presents the whole process which includes: context-aware web service speciﬁcation, context-aware platform code generation, and context-aware adaptation loop. The whole process is demonstrated through a mobile-commerce scenario.
The hydrogen bond interaction dynamics in polyvinylphenol: Studied by Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (2022)

In this letter, we present the results of the study of the hydrogen bond network of Poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVPh) by using Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics. The polymeric structure and IR spectra of PVPh result from the presence of hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl group. The presented study focuses on the analysis of changes in the network of conjugated hydrogen bonds observed in Poly(4-vinylphenol). The hydroxyl groups form conjugated hydrogen bonds in separate domains. The ab initio molecular dynamics gave us a possibility to understand the stabilization role of the hydrogen bond in the polymer material. Additionally, the quantization of nuclear motion has been performed.
Lead‐Free Solar Cells based on Tin Halide Perovskite Films with High Coverage and Improved Aggregation (2018)

Abstract Two simple methods to improve tin halide perovskite film structure are introduced, aimed at increasing the power conversion efficiency of lead free perovskite solar cells. First, a hot antisolvent treatment (HAT) was found to increase the film coverage and prevent electrical shunting in the photovoltaic device. Second, it was discovered that annealing under a low partial pressure of dimethyl sulfoxide vapor increased the average crystallite size. The topographical and electrical qualities of the perovskite films are substantively improved as a result of the combined treatments, facilitating the fabrication of tin‐based perovskite solar cell devices with power conversion efficiencies of over 7 %.
Spectral envelope analysis of snoring signals (2008)

In recent years, several studies have shown the relationship between snoring and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Besides time domain analysis of snoring signal, the spectral features and shapes of snores can be used to discriminate simple snorers and OSAS patients. In this study, we propose a method to classify simple snorers and OSAS patients based on spectral envelope estimation of snoring signals. The formant frequencies and corresponding bandwidths are computed for both group, and the variation and consistency of the formant distributions are computed. A total of 1400 snoring episodes from 7 simple snorer and 7 OSAS patients were analyzed. Significant differences are found in the formant frequencies of both groups. The results are discussed from the view point of patho-physiological aspect.
Modeling and simulation of the thin film bulk acoustic resonator (2003)

This paper describes the modeling and simulation results for thin film BAW resonators. We present the frequency tuning mechanisms, the influence of the thickness of the electrodes and Q of the resonator. The BAW resonator was fabricated with the piezoelectric thin film and Bragg reflector.
A Description of Chain Slippage across the Slip-Link in the Dynamics of Entangled Linear Polymers (1993)

A mechanism of chain slippage across the entanglement link is adopted to describe the early stage behavior in the stress relaxation of concentrated polymer systems. The chain slippage in the postulated mechanism occurs due to the equilibration of natural monomer (Rouse bead) densities between the primitive segmental units. It is shown that the process X introduced by Lin can be confirmed theoretically and that it partially contributes to the reduction of stress discrepancy between the processes A and B of Doi.

3D Predictive Deconvolution for Wide-azimuth Gathers (2010)

Usual pre-stack predictive deconvolution solutions for multiple attenuation are either monochannel or designed for 2D gathers. These existing 1D /2D solutions are suboptimal for today&apos;s modern acquisition geometries, which allow the construction of 3D, wide azimuth pre-stack collections. We therefore present a 3D pre-stack predictive deconvolution algorithm suited to today&apos;s WAZ HD HR gathers. It targets the attenuation of the multiples (either surface or internal) in horizontally layered media, and is applied on densely sampled, wide-azimuth gathers, from either marine, land, or OBC surveys (cross-spread gathers, receiver or shot gathers, mega bin, macro bin,...). As usual with the predictive deconvolution algorithms, it is the most useful for short to medium period multiples.
Subcellular Distribution of Somatostatin sst2A Receptors in Human Tumors of the Nervous and Neuroendocrine Systems: MembranousVersusIntracellular Location1 (2000)

The distribution of the sst2A receptor was investigated, using immunohistochemistry, with the specific antipeptide antibody R2-88, in a total of 120 tumors of the nervous and the neuroendocrine systems, including small-cell lung carcinomas, medulloblastomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, and paragangliomas. The great majority of the tumor samples, frozen or formalin-fixed, showed a positive immunohistochemical staining with R2-88, and an excellent correlation with receptor autoradiography using 125I[Tyr3]-octreotide. Whereas small-cell lung carcinomas and medulloblastomas had a predominantly plasma membrane staining, pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas had variable ratios of cell surface and intracellular staining. Strikingly, a preferentially cytoplasmic staining was seen in tumors with a high level of somatostatin gene expression, whereas a more plasma membranous staining was seen in tumors lacking somatostatin messenger RNA. Specificity of both the plasma membrane and the cytoplasmic staining pattern was confirmed in immunoblots, which showed the immunoreactive receptor migrating as a characteristic 70-kDa broad band. In both immunohistochemical and immunoblotting experiments, staining was abolished by antibody blockade with 100 nM antigen peptide. These results describe, for the first time, the localization of the sst2A receptor protein in human small-cell lung carcinomas, medulloblastomas, neuroblastomas, and paragangliomas. Moreover, it is the first report investigating possible causes for distinct subcellular localizations of sst2A in human tissues. We show that the subcellular distribution of the receptor may be dependent on the surrounding somatostatin concentration, consistent with both the known effect of somatostatin to cause sst2A receptor internalization and an autocrine regulation of tumors by the peptide they produce. Moreover, our demonstration that the sst2A receptor can be identified in this group of tumors using simple immunohistochemical methods in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material opens numerous diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic opportunities.
Production of Sophorolipid Biosurfactant byPichia anomala (2008)

Biosurfactant production by Pichia anomala PY1, a thermotorelant strain isolated from fermented food, was examined as grown in media containing various carbon and nitrogen sources. The optimal conditions for biosurfactant production included 4% soybean oil as carbon source at pH 5.5 at 30 C for 7 d. Under these conditions, the surface tension of the medium decreased to 28 mN/m with oil displacement measured at 69.43 cm 2 . Comparative studies of biosurfactant production in media containing glucose or soybean oil were performed. The biosurfactants obtained were isolated and purified by chromatographic methods. The molecular weights of samples were further investigated by mass spectrometry. In medium containing glucose, biosurfactants of molecular weights of 675, 691, and 707 were obtained, while those isolated from medium containing soybean oil were of molecular weights of 658, 675, and 691. These results reveal that sophorolipid compounds containing fatty acids of C20 and C18:1 were produced from both media.
Real‐time monitoring of crystal accumulation in the high‐level waste glass melters using an electrical conductivity method (2017)

Abstract During the vitrification of high‐level radioactive waste ( HLW ) in HLW melters in the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant located in Washington State, spinel crystals may precipitate from glass and accumulate in the melter riser, preventing the discharge of molten glass into canisters. Therefore, an effort is being made to develop an electrical conductivity method to monitor crystal buildup in the melter riser. A vertically configured electrical conductivity ( EC ) probe with an alumina shaft and Pt‐10%Rh‐electrodes was designed and tested in standard conductivity solutions and glass melts both with and without spinel crystals. The EC probe measured conductivity in conductivity solutions within 10% of their certified values and showed a linear relationship with increased spinel layer thicknesses. Testing in silicate glass containing spinel crystals allowed for the determination of spinel conductivity as a function of temperature. The conductivities of spinel crystals of 20‐24 S/m at 800°C were in excellent agreement with the conductivity of trevorite (NiFe 2 O 4 ) crystals at 800°C reported in the literature. The conductivities of spinel crystals and measured changes in the conductivity across the accumulated layer allowed for a successful measurement of spinel crystal accumulation in simulated HLW glass.

Adaptive continuous‐space informative path planning for online environmental monitoring (2017)

Abstract Autonomous mobile robots are increasingly employed to take measurements for environmental monitoring, but planning informative, measurement‐rich paths through large three‐dimensional environments is still challenging. Designing such paths, known as the informative path planning (IPP) problem, has been shown to be NP‐hard. Existing algorithms focus on providing guarantees on suboptimal solutions, but do not scale well to large problems. In this paper, we introduce a novel IPP algorithm that uses an evolutionary strategy to optimize a parameterized path in continuous space, which is subject to various constraints regarding path budgets and motion capabilities of an autonomous mobile robot. Moreover, we introduce a replanning scheme to adapt the planned paths according to the measurements taken in situ during data collection. When compared to two state‐of‐the‐art solutions, our method provides competitive results at significantly lower computation times and memory requirements. The proposed replanning scheme enables to build models with up to 25% lower uncertainty within an initially unknown area of interest. Besides presenting theoretical results, we tailored the proposed algorithms for data collection using an autonomous surface vessel for an ecological study, during which the method was validated through three field deployments on Lake Zurich, Switzerland. Spatiotemporal variations are shown over a period of three months and in an area of 350 m × 350 m × 13 m. Whereas our theoretical solution can be applied to multiple applications, our field results specifically highlight the effectiveness of our planner for monitoring toxic microorganisms in a pre‐alpine lake, and for identifying hot‐spots within their distribution.
Material response analysis of georadar reflection data (2003)

ABSTRACT Understanding the nature of the ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) reflection response in terms of the dielectric permittivity and conductivity contrast is an important factor in interpretation. This is the reason for the present study, which aims to carry out an experiment in a controlled fashion, so that the relationship between measurements and the relevant physical parameters can be established. Accurate modelling of the subsurface parameter distribution is hampered by lack of both knowledge of the source signature and an appropriate model. We have therefore constructed a controlled environment in which to carry out measurements that can be modelled with sufficient accuracy in a 1D setting, under the constraint that subsurface conditions can be changed without disturbing the overburden. We present the results of such measurements, an analysis of the data and an interpretation based upon a 1D model, which is sufficiently realistic to accommodate sophisticated physical parameter models.
[Routine appendectomy during sterilization using a transverse mini-laparotomy technic]. (1988)

The author describes an original procedure for carrying out suprapubic minilaparotomy in the hair-line. The incision measures about 2 cm. This is adequate for tubal sterilization and for removing the appendix routinely when the patient complains of pain in the right iliac fossa. The first twenty (20) cases treated resulted in effective tubal sterilization in 100% and appendicectomy could be carried out in 95% of cases. 15% had minor side-effects. This new procedure is highly to be recommended in developing countries because it allows a good view of the pelvis and gives an aesthetically pleasing result in suprapubic minilaparotomie undertaken for voluntary surgical contraception (VSC).
Recurrence Formula For The Impulse Response Coefficients Of The SincN FIR Filter (2006)

A simple recurrence formula for computing the impulse response coefficients of the SincN FIR made of a cascade of N Sinc filters each of length M is presented. The formula allows for a much lower mathematical operation compared to the previously published format and thus leads to a faster execution time and simpler circuitry.
