Grating-coupled silicon microring resonators (2012)

We propose to integrate grating-assisted asymmetric couplers with microring resonators for selective resonance excitation and control of coupling efficiency. A grating-coupled microring add-drop filter is experimentally demonstrated using a silicon-on-insulator technology compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor processing. A dominant longitudinal mode with a side-mode suppression ratio of 8 dB has been obtained across a broad spectral range of over 130 nm. The selected mode shows an out-of-band-rejection ratio of 19 dB and a quality factor (Q) of 25 000. The concept of integrating grating-assisted couplers for mode selectivity can be applied to other microring-based devices for high-Q, single-mode operations.
MATHEMATICAL ASPECTS OF ANDERSON LOCALIZATION (2010)

This article discusses mathematical results and conjectures motivated by Anderson localization and by related problems for deterministic and nonlinear systems. Finite volume criteria for Anderson localization are explained for random potentials. Recent results on a phase transition for a hyperbolic, supersymmetric sigma model on a 3D lattice are also presented. This transition is analogous to the Anderson transition.
STRENGTHENING AND REPAIR OF STRUCTURES USING GLUED COMPOSITES (TFC) (2000)

In the absence of finance for new work, the preservation of our heritage, rehabilitation and durability are the leading present-day concerns of those in the civil engineering industry, to the point where those writing codes have no hesitation in devoting a special section to durability, ignoring, undoubtedly, the fact that it was the principal preoccupation of their predecessors. At the same time, new regulations have been brought into effect which notably increase the working loads on highway bridges, leading the owners to apply strengthening measures. To meet these needs, over recent decades, several original methods of repair and strengthening of structures have been developed. Amongst these, the gluing of reinforcement has been prominent owing to the spectacular developments in polymers which have taken place since the end of World War 2. This paper deals particularly with repair and strengthening by the gluing of carbon fibre tissues. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD E204289.
Evaluación d del a aumento d de lla d digestibilidad en a alimento p para g ganado b bovino (2015)

The development of a basic pre-digested food from bagasse, for cattle supplemented proteic with a by-product of the transglutaminase enzyme occurs. Increased digestibility was implemented by an alkaline treatment with sodium hydroxide (2.0 Normal). The tests performed in vitro digestibility, protein content and minerals, moisture, etc. For the physical characterization of fibers and comprehensive post-treatment techniques they are used: laser scanning confocal microscopy. To feed formulation Pearson Square and CONFOR software was used. According to the results it was possible to corroborate the alkali treatment gives higher digestibility bagasse and therefore their results can be applied in technologies of cattle feed.
Synthetic studies towards the pinguisanes; synthesis of 4-epi-pinguisone (1988)

Two procedures have been developed for the synthesis of the appropriate indene skeleton required for construction of pinguisone and 4-epi-pinguisone. Whereas 1-methoxy-3-(trimethylsiloxy)buta-1,3-diene (Danishefsky's diene) was completely unreactive towards 2,3,4-trimethyl-2-cyclopent-2-en-1-one, Diels–Alder cycloaddition was found to occur at very high pressure (13–15 kBar) with the more reactive dienophile methyl 2,3-dimethyl-5-oxocyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylate giving, after hydrolysis, (3R*,3aS*,7aR*)-methyl 2,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-3,3a-dimethyl-1,5(4H)-dioxoindene-7a-carboxylate in good yield. The structure of this compound was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Reaction of the lithium enolate of the diene with the more reactive dienophile at low temperatures gave one Michael addition only; however, the resulting oxo ester was converted into the desired indene intermediate in a good overall yield. Model studies provided a route which, when applied to the indene intermediate, enabled an efficient conversion to (3R*,3aS*,7aS*)-2,3,3a,7a-tetrahydro-3,3a,7a-trimethylindene-1,5(4H)-dione. Conjugate addition with lithium dimethylcuprate gave the undesired epimer exclusively which on further elaboration gave 4-epi-pinguisone and 4-epi-pinguisanol.

A strategy for source wavefield reconstruction in reverse time migration (2011)

The RTM imaging condition require that the source and receiver wavefield be available simultaneously. The source wavefield can be fully reconstructed backwards in time if proper initial and boundary values are chosen. The wavefield on the boundaries and their neighbors can be stored during the forward modeling step, serving as the boundary values for the backward propagation. However, it still requires large amount storage of data. An alternative is approximately reconstructing the source wavefield only with the wavefield on the boundaries. Although it will lose spatial accuracy near the boundaries, the recovered wavefield in terms of reconstruction ratio is acceptable and the total amount of data storage is further reduced. Numerical experiments with both the constant‐density acoustic equation and the pseudo‐acoustic equation in TI media demonstrate that the recovered wavefield with this strategy would be acceptable for RTM.
Transport of the Murine Mx Protein into the Nucleus Is Dependent on a Basic Carboxy-Terminal Sequence (1987)

Cytoplasmic microinjection of murine Mx mRNA synthesized in vitro or nuclear microinjection of Mx cDNA under the control of a constitutive promoter into murine Mx- cells led to the accumulation of Mx protein in the nucleus and inhibited the replication of influenza virus but not of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Similar results were also found with dog, rat, chicken, and monkey cells. A human lung fibroblast cell line (A549) was exceptional in that Mx protein was located predominantly in the cytoplasm and showed antiviral activity. Truncation of the 19 last residues of murine Mx protein almost completely abolished accumulation of Mx protein in the nucleus; however the activity against influenza virus was at least partially retained. The truncated region contains a segment rich in basic amino acids, similar to that reported for several nuclear location signals.
Hardware-software co-synthesis of fault-tolerant real-time distributed embedded systems (1995)

Distributed systems are becoming a popular way of implementing many embedded computing applications, automotive control being a common and important example. Such embedded systems typically have soft or hard performance constraints. The increasing complexity of these systems makes them vulnerable to failures and their use in many safety-critical applications makes fault tolerance an important requirement. This peeper is the first to address the problem of automatic hardware-software co-synthesis of fault-tolerant embedded distributed real-time systems in a generalized scenario. We present an algorithm which tales as input the specification of the data-flow information in the form of a task graph, the performance constraints, the fault tolerance requirements and the available hardware resources in the form of processor, ASIC and link libraries. Our algorithm then synthesizes the required hardware as a distributed system in terms of the component processors, ASICs and interconnection links. The tasks are mapped to this hardware such that the overall system cost is minimized while still meeting the performance constraints and the fault tolerance requirements. Our algorithm uses clustering techniques to perform the synthesis. Fault tolerance is added using CRAFT, a technique we recently proposed for CRiticAlity based Fault Tolerance in real-time distributed systems.
Resource Allocation and 3-D Placement for UAV-Enabled Energy-Efficient IoT Communications (2020)

As the commercial launch of the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications gets near, the trend from the Internet of Things (IoT) to the Internet of Everything (IoE) is emerging. Due to the advantages of the high mobility, high Line-of-Sight (LoS) probability and low labor cost, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may play an important role in the future IoT communication networks, e.g., data collection in remote areas. In this article, we study the 3-D placement and resource allocation of multiple UAV-mounted base stations (BSs) in an uplink IoT network, where the balanced task for the UAV-BSs, the limited channel resource, and the signal interference are taken into consideration. In the considered system, the total transmission power of IoT devices is minimized, subject to a signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) threshold for each device. First, aiming to balance the task of each UAV, we propose a clustering algorithm based on an improved <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -means method to divide IoT devices into several groups so that the number of devices in each group is roughly the same. Then, based on matching theory, a modified-Hungarian-based dynamic many–many matching (HD4M) algorithm is designed for assigning subchannels to IoT devices, which can efficiently mitigate the interference. Finally, we jointly optimize the transmission power of IoT devices and the altitudes of UAVs via an alternating iterative method. The simulation results show that the total transmission power decreases significantly after applying the proposed algorithms.
Micrograin Superplasticity: Characteristics and Utilization (2011)

Micrograin Superplasticity refers to the ability of fine-grained materials (1 µm < d < 10 μm, where d is the grain size) to exhibit extensive neck-free elongations during deformation at elevated temperatures. Over the past three decades, good progress has been made in rationalizing this phenomenon. The present paper provides a brief review on this progress in several areas that have been related to: (a) the mechanical characteristics of micrograin superplasticity and their origin; (b) the effect of impurity content and type on deformation behavior, boundary sliding, and cavitation during superplastic deformation;

Phase formation during laser welding of Fe/Al-joints; Phasenbildung beim Laserstrahlfuegen von Fe/Al-Verbindungen (2001)

Laser welding is an excellent tool for joining dissimilar metals such as aluminum and steel. The localized energy input of the Laser enables a controlled heat input and leads to a minimized interaction of the joined materials. Comparable to conventional thermal joining technologies an intermetallic phase is formed during processing. The advantage of Laser welding is that due to the locally restricted energy input, the high joining speed, and the accompanied high heating and cooling rates, the formation of intermetallic phases, which are limiting the joint properties, can be controlled. The phase layers in the joining zone can be limited to a size below 10 {mu}m. Tensile testing of samples made of St14 and 6xxx sheet material revealed fracture stresses up to 200 MPa. The failure of the samples occur outside of the seam within the heat effected zone in the aluminum. The seam morphology and composition was characterized by optical and electron microscopy. (orig.)

Clinical Characteristics of IDDM in Hispanics and Non-Hispanic Whites: Little evidence of heterogeneity by ethnicity (1992)

Little evidence of heterogeneity by ethnicity of IDDM patients in the Colorado IDDM Registry was found. Ethnic differences in C-peptide levels may be related to differences in body fat distribution in females rather than heterogeneity of the disease.

We demonstrate for the first time that rUG is able to attenuate the renal injury through the modulation of expressions of tTG and TGF-beta1 in ecGN and further suggest a wide range of feasible molecular targets to reduce the severity of human glomerulonephritis.
Behavior of Lactobacilli Isolated from Fermented Slurry (ben-saalga) in Gnotobiotic Rats (2013)

Most bacterial strains, which have been studied so far for their probiotic functions, are extensively used by manufacturers in developed countries. In our work, we sought to study a mix (called BSL) comprising three strains belonging to Lactobacillus fermentum, L. paraplantarum and L. salivarius, that were isolated from a traditional African pearl millet based fermented slurry. Our objective was to study this BSL cocktail in gnotobiotic rats, to evaluate their survival and their behavior in the digestive tract conditions. After a single oral inoculation of germfree rats with BSL, the species established stably in the digestive tract with the following hierarchy of abundance: L. salivarius> L. plantarum> L. fermentum. BSL cocktail was metabolically active since it produced 50 mM lactate and it expressed genes involved in binding mechanism in the caecum. Furthermore, the global morphology of the colon epithelium was not disturbed by the BSL cocktail. BSL cocktail did not modify mucus content and host mucus-related genes (MUC1, MUC2, MUC3 or resistin-like molecule β). The cocktail of lactobacilli enhanced the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) at a level comparable to what was observed in conventional rats. PCNA was involved in proliferation and DNA repair, but the presence of the cocktail did not provoke proliferative events (with Ki67 as indicator), so we suppose BSL may help gut preservation. This work is the first step towards the selection of strains that are derived from traditional fermented food to formulate new probiotic mixture.

Cover Picture: Selective Dynamic Assembly of Disulfide Macrocyclic Helical Foldamers with Remote Communication of Handedness (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 24/2016) (2016)

To form couples to get into the dance, helices have to have the same handedness. In their Communication on page 6848 ff., I. Huc and co-workers show that at the molecular scale, right-handed foldamer helices with two right hands (in blue) and left-handed helices with two left hands (in red) cannot join hands to form dimeric macrocycles. The outcome is a remote communication of handedness between helices bound in the same macrocycle. Graphic credit: Dr. V. Maurizot.

Improvement of regional cerebral blood flow after treatment with branched-chain amino acid solutions in patients with cirrhosis (2003)

Objective The administration of solutions rich in branched-chain amino acids leads to mental recovery from acute hepatic encephalopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the mechanism of action of branchedchain amino acids remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of branched-chain amino acids on brain perfusion in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods Single photon emission computed tomography scans were performed in 14 patients with liver cirrhosis before and after the administration of branched-chain amino acids in a single-day split-dose protocol. The per cent change in regional brain perfusion was calculated in high frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital lobes and cerebellum. Thereafter, statistical parametric mapping was performed to identify brain regions with abnormal cerebral perfusion. Results Intravenous infusion of solutions enriched with branched-chain amino acids induced a 13-20% increase in regional cerebral blood flow. Cirrhotic patients had regions of significant hypoperfusion, as determined by statistical parametric mapping, in the left superior parietal and posterior cingulate as compared to the control group. This hypoperfusion of parietal and cingulate regions was not detected after treatment with solutions of branchedchain amino acids. Conclusions The results of the present study suggest that administration of solutions enriched with branched-chain amino acids improves cerebral perfusion in patients with cirrhosis.
Robust Fuzzy Timestep Selector for a Fully Implicit Reservoir Simulator (2019)

Abstract The objective of this work is to avoid wasteful timestep cuts of the reservoir simulator by developing a timestep-selector that controls the linear and non-linear iterations as well as the physical quantities. Using a Fuzzy logic framework, a non-linear timestep selector has been developed that reduces run time, and increases robustness for challenging nonlinear simulations. From a linear analysis standpoint a fully implicit reservoir simulator has no stability limit on the size the timestep. However, in practice the non-linearity prevents arbitrary timestep size being chosen. Without any theory to guide us the timestep choice it is left to heuristics, usually based on physical engineering constraints such as the previous time steps, maximum pressure and saturation changes. This can be very effective, but can lead to many timestep cuts, and sometimes lead to failure of the simulator. This is especially common for highly non-linear dual-porosity, dual-permeability reservoirs which are very common in the Middle East. Here a Fuzzy logic framework is used to construct a non-linear timestep selector which takes many inputs (linear and non-linear convergence data as well as pressure and saturation changes) and breaks down the complexity. Firstly fuzzification of the inputs into fuzzy sets (e.g. High medium and low) then applications of rules (e.g. if linear high then timestep is low) and de-fuzzification into a crisp timestep to be used for the next iteration. This process provides us with a powerful framework to construct various strategies for controlling the timestep. In contrast, traditional timestep controllers use crisp logic, this is difficult to blend multiple conflicting inputs to a timestep selector. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach results are presented on a suite of cases, covering a wide range of models including compositional and dual-porosity cases. For some cases a dramatic 3x improvement is observed, however, what is more important, is on average the new timestep selector significantly improves performance, especially for the slow challenging cases; by reducing the time steps wasted due to timestep cuts. Perhaps what is most impressive is that the fuzzy controller did achieve the goals of the fuzzy rules to keep the non-linear and linear iterations under control, which had the benefit of reducing total failures of the simulator. A fuzzy logic framework is applied to timestep selection of a fully implicit reservoir simulator. A combination of convergence data as well as physical quantities are used as inputs which has led to a robust and extendable timestep selector.
Dimensionality reduction via sparse support vector machines (2003)

We describe a methodology for performing variable ranking and selection using support vector machines (SVMs). The method constructs a series of sparse linear SVMs to generate linear models that can generalize well, and uses a subset of nonzero weighted variables found by the linear models to produce a final nonlinear model. The method exploits the fact that a linear SVM (no kernels) with ℓ1-norm regularization inherently performs variable selection as a side-effect of minimizing capacity of the SVM model. The distribution of the linear model weights provides a mechanism for ranking and interpreting the effects of variables. Starplots are used to visualize the magnitude and variance of the weights for each variable. We illustrate the effectiveness of the methodology on synthetic data, benchmark problems, and challenging regression problems in drug design. This method can dramatically reduce the number of variables and outperforms SVMs trained using all attributes and using the attributes selected according to correlation coefficients. The visualization of the resulting models is useful for understanding the role of underlying variables.
