Detecting unexploded ordnance with time domain electromagnetic induction (2009)

In this thesis I assume that the Time Domain Electromagnetic (TEM) response of a buried axisymmetric metallic object can be modelled as the sum of two dipoles centered at the midpoint of the body. The strength of the dipoles depends upon the relative orientation between the object and the source field, and also upon the shape and physical properties of the body. Upon termination of the source field, each dipole is assumed to decay as k (t + α)-β e-t/γ. The parameters k, α, β and γ depend upon the conductivity, permeability, size and shape of the object, and these can be extracted from field or laboratory measurements by using a nonlinear parametric inversion algorithm. An investigation carried out using an analytic solution for a sphere and laboratory measurements of steel and aluminum rectangular prisms, suggest the following methodology. The value of β might be used as a diagnostic to assess whether the metallic object is non-magnetic or magnetic. If the object is thought to be magnetic, then the ratios of k1/k2 and β1/β2 are diagnostic indicators as to whether the geometry is plate-like (uninteresting) or rod-like (a high candidate for being a UXO).

Closed:loop Kinesthetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Sleep Apnea Syndromes (2016)

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a common disease characterized by recurrent episodes of breathing pauses or important reductions in respiratory amplitude during patient's sleep. These episodes provoke significant cardiorespiratory modifications that may have long-term cardiovascular consequences. This paper proposes a novel approach for the treatment of SAS, based on a closedloop kinesthetic stimulation, adapted as a function of the patient's physiological response. The closed-loop control system is based on concurrent, coupled proportionalderivative (PD) controllers that modulate the stimulation amplitude delivered to the patient. The controller was tested on a first phase of a clinical protocol including 12 patients with previously diagnosed SAS. Results from one patient are presented in this paper, showing how the proposed controller is capable to adapt stimulation parameters, converging to a minimum patient-specific amplitude. These results are encouraging regarding the feasibility of the integration of the proposed controller into the therapy for the adaptive optimization of the kinesthetic stimulation amplitude and warrant a second phase of the clinical study of this system.
Test of low power circuits: Issues and industrial practices (2016)

Managing the power consumption of circuits and systems is challenging not only during functional operations but also during manufacturing test. This paper discusses industrial practices in this area. It is organized into three main parts. First, we give necessary background and discuss issues arising from excessive power dissipation during test application. Then, we provide an overview of industrial practices for reducing test power. The last part surveys low power design techniques used in industry and shows how these low power devices can be tested safely without affecting yield and reliability.
An isoform of ZBP-89 predisposes the colon to colitis (2006)

Alternative splicing enables expression of functionally diverse protein isoforms. The structural and functional complexity of zinc-finger transcription factor ZBP-89 suggests that it may be among the class of alternatively spliced genes. We identified a human ZBP-89 splice isoform (ZBP-89(DeltaN)), which lacks amino terminal residues 1-127 of the full-length protein (ZBP-89(FL)). ZBP-89(DeltaN) mRNA was co-expressed with its ZBP-89(FL) cognate in gastrointestinal cell lines and tissues. Similarly, ZBP-89(DeltaN) protein was expressed. To define its function in vivo, we generated ZBP-89(DeltaN) knock-in mice by targeting exon 4 that encodes the amino terminus. Homozygous ZBP-89(DeltaN) mice, expressing only ZBP-89(DeltaN) protein, experienced growth delay, reduced viability and increased susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate colitis. We conclude that ZBP-89(DeltaN) antagonizes ZBP-89(FL) function and that over-expression of the truncated isoform disrupts gastrointestinal homeostasis.
Systems biology of human epilepsy applied to patients with brain tumors (2013)

Epilepsy is a disease of recurrent seizures that can be associated with a wide variety of acquired and developmental brain lesions. Current medications for patients with epilepsy can suppress seizures; they do not cure or modify the underlying disease process. On the other hand, surgical removal of focal brain regions that produce seizures can be curative. This surgical procedure can be more precise with the placement of intracranial recording electrodes to identify brain regions that generate seizure activity as well as those that are critical for normal brain function. The detail that goes into these surgeries includes extensive neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and clinical data. Combined with precisely localized tissues removed, these data provide an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the interrelationships of many "systems" in the human brain not possible in just about any other human brain disorder. Herein, we describe a systems biology approach developed to study patients who undergo brain surgery for epilepsy and how we have begun to apply these methods to patients whose seizures are associated with brain tumors. A central goal of this clinical and translational research program is to improve our understanding of epilepsy and brain tumors and to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes of both.
Evaluating Locations for Intermodal Transport Terminals (2008)

The choice of location for an intermodal transport terminal is an important component in a regional logistics system and a paramount decision for the investor as well as the community affected. The investor needs a realistic estimation of traffic potentials and incorporated cost-estimates of a location, since it serves as an important input to the investment decision process. Policy makers need instruments and tools to analyse the effect of intermodal terminals on the surrounding environment, which also enables a comparison between several possible locations in order to ensure sustainability and long-term competitiveness. The model in this paper allows a comparative evaluation of a set of possible intermodal terminal locations based on considerations by relevant actors. Furthermore, it presents a process of retrieving data and effectively communicating results. Considerations and interests of stakeholders are incorporated into the approach by means of evaluative criteria. The approach aims at facilitating the planning process of regional logistics systems in general and the evaluation process of intermodal terminal locations in particular by considering both public and private interests focusing on economic and environmental aspects.
A New Silicon Quantum-Well Structure with Controlled Diameter and Thickness Fabricated with Ferritin Iron Core Mask and Chlorine Neutral Beam Etching (2008)

A disk-shaped silicon nanostructure, which works as a quantum well, was fabricated by etching a polycrystalline silicon/SiO2/silicon wafer with a chlorine neutral beam. The diameter (about 8 to 10 nm) and thickness (about 2 to 4 nm) of the nanodisk were controlled by changing the surface-oxide-removal conditions and deposition thickness of poly-silicon. Current–voltage measurements of the nanodisk showed staircase characteristics at room temperature (RT). The staircase width does not depend strongly on nanodisk diameter, but it strongly depends on nanodisk thickness. This result suggests that the nanodisk works as a quantum-well at RT.

Design and Testing of a Convenient Benchtop Sandbox for Controlled Flow Experiments (2012)

Abstract A benchtop sandbox constructed from nested storage tanks ( NeSTs ), was assembled for studying flow and transport in porous media. Molded plastic storage containers, purchased at a department store, were modified to fashion the tanks. The remaining construction materials were also inexpensive and the NeST design made it virtually leak‐proof. The uniformity of flow in the NeST was evaluated with three independent tracer tests. Estimated velocities were within about ±20% including all test results, indicating a high degree of predictability and uniformity in the flow. The NeST is a simple and robust tool suitable for research and teaching purposes, particularly for the testing of flow measurement sensors like the point velocity probes.

A Modular Strategy for Control and Voltage Balancing of Cascaded H-Bridge Rectifiers (2008)

In this paper, a new strategy for voltage balancing of distinct dc buses in cascaded H-bridge rectifiers is presented. This method ensures that the dc bus capacitor voltages converge to the reference value, even when the loads attached to them are extracting different amounts of power. The proposed method can be used for an arbitrary number of series H-bridges, different voltage levels, and different power levels in unidirectional or bidirectional rectifiers. To reduce the current harmonics and distortion, the input current is programmed to be sinusoidal and in phase with the input voltage; however, it is possible to adjust the input power factor to control both the active and reactive powers. In the proposed approach, both the low frequency (stepped modulation) and high frequency [pulse-width modulation (PWM)] switching methods are utilized to improve the performance of the rectifier. Using theoretical analysis, the acceptable load power limits for a rectifier with N-H-bridge cells are derived. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.

Tunable Ferroelectricity in Ruddlesden–Popper Halide Perovskites (2019)

Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) halide perovskites are the new kids on the block for high-performance perovskite photovoltaics with excellent ambient stability. The layered nature of these perovskites offers an exciting possibility of harnessing their ferroelectric property for photovoltaics. Adjacent polar domains in a ferroelectric material allow the spatial separation of electrons and holes. Presently, the structure–function properties governing the ferroelectric behavior of RP perovskites are an open question. Herein, we realize tunable ferroelectricity in 2-phenylethylammonium (PEA) and methylammonium (MA) RP perovskite (PEA)2(MA)n̅−1Pbn̅I3n̅+1. Second harmonic generation (SHG) confirms the noncentrosymmetric nature of these polycrystalline thin films, whereas piezoresponse force microscopy and polarization–electric field measurements validate the microscopic and macroscopic ferroelectric properties. Temperature-dependent SHG and dielectric constant measurements uncover a phase transition temperature at around 170 °C in these films. Extensive molecular dynamics simulations support the experimental results and identified the correlated reorientation of MA molecules and ion translations as the source of ferroelectricity. Current–voltage characteristics in the dark reveal the persistence of hysteresis in these devices, which has profound implications for light-harvesting and light-emitting applications. Importantly, our findings disclose a viable approach for engineering the ferroelectric properties of RP perovskites that may unlock new functionalities for perovskite optoelectronics.
Diagnostics of N2dissociation in RF plasmas by vacuum ultraviolet emission and absorption spectroscopy (2008)

The N2 dissociation degrees in a 50 MHz inductively coupled plasma (ICP) are evaluated by a procedure using vacuum ultraviolet optical emission spectroscopy (VUVOES). The number density of N 4S° atoms (nN) is evaluated from the N2 dissociation degree by determining the N2 rotational temperature that is in equilibrium with the gas temperature. The nN evaluated by VUVOES is crosschecked by the nN measured by vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy (VUVAS). The comparison reveals a fair proportionality between the nNs evaluated by VUVOES and those measured by VUVAS, suggesting that VUVOES is applicable to the monitoring of N2 dissociation in low-pressure, high-density N2 plasmas. The number density of N 2D° metastables is also measured by VUVAS and found to be comparable to the number density of the ground-level N atoms (4S°). The dissociative recombination of with electrons is suggested as a possible mechanism of N 2D° metastable generation that makes the N 2D° density comparable to the N 4S° density in the pulsed N2 ICP during power-off periods.

The Cdkn2a gene product p19ARF (alternative reading frame) is a critical regulator of IFNβ-mediated Lyme arthritis (2022)

Abstract Lyme disease is caused by infection with the tick-borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, with a spectrum of clinical disorders. Infected C3H mice develop severe arthritis while B6 mice display mild arthritis, allowing analysis of host genetic contribution to disease. B6 mice introgressed with the C3H allele of Bbaa1 on Chr4, B6.C3-Bbaa1, display increased severity of arthritis, and heightened expression of Type I IFN. IFNβ, was identified as the key effector for arthritis severity, acting through the muscle regulatory protein myostatin. To identify regulators of IFNβ in the Bbaa1 locus, candidate genes were subjected to siRNA silencing in macrophages. The Cdkn2a gene encoded protein p19ARF was identified as the modulator of IFNβ expression. B6 Arf−/− mice reconstituted with cells expressing the C3H allele of p19ARF developed severe arthritis, whereas mice reconstituted with cells expressing the B6 allele developed mild disease. IFNβ induction by p19ARF is inducible by other pathogens and a variety of PAMPs. P19ARF regulation of IFNβ involved the tumor suppressor p53 and transcription repressor BCL6 in myeloid cells. Indeed, targeted blocking of BCL6 enhanced IFNβ activation in the joint tissue of B6 mice and resulted in increased severity of Lyme arthritis. Similar responses in B6 Rag1−/− mice, indicate dependence on myeloid cells expression of BCL6. Thus, we have identified novel involvement of p19ARF in modulating IFNβ expression in Lyme arthritis development. Supported by R01 AR043521
Fimbria damage and removal of adherent bacteria after exposure to acoustic energy (1993)

The physical effects of low-frequency acoustic energy on Actinomyces viscosus were studied with electron microscopy to explore both acoustically induced damage to fimbriae on the surface of these bacteria and acoustic removal of bacteria from saliva-treated hydroxyapatite disks. A bacterial suspension was exposed to acoustic energy from a laboratory acoustic generator (50 kPa, 200 Hz) and from a new electronic toothbrush, the Sonicare. The exposed bacteria were examined with electron microscopy after negative staining. A decrease in both the percentage of bacterial surface covered with fimbriae and the fimbria length was observed after acoustic exposure. To study the acoustic effects on adherent bacteria, A. viscosus bound to hydroxyapatite disks were exposed to acoustic energy and examined with scanning electron microscopy. Quantitative evaluation of the micrographs for the number of bacteria present after exposure revealed that acoustic energy removed both bacteria adherent to the hydroxyapatite surface and adherent to each other. The results support the concept that an electronic toothbrush employing low-frequency acoustic energy may help prevent and control periodontal diseases by altering bacterial adherence.

Flexural properties of ethyl or methyl methacrylate-UDMA blend polymers (2010)

Light-curing polyethyl methacrylate (PEMA)-urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) resins and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-UDMA resins were prepared by two processes. For first step, PEMA or PMMA powders were fully dissolved in ethyl methacrylate (EMA) or methyl methacrylate (MMA) and then the PEMA-EMA/PMMA-MMA mixtures were mixed with UDMA. The flexural properties of cured PEMA-UDMA and PMMA-UDMA polymers were measured using two PEMA (Mw: 300,000-400,000 and 650,000-1,000,000) and three PMMA (Mw: 30,000-60,000, 350,000 and 650,000-1,000,000) powders with different molecular weight, four mixing ratios of PMMA-MMA, and three mixing ratios of PMMA-MMA mixture and UDMA oligomer. Polymers with PMMA(Mw: 350,000) MMA=25/50, and with PMMA(Mw: 350,000)-MMA/UDMA=1/2 and =1/1, showed no-fracture in a flexural test at 1 mm/min and flexural strength and flexural modulus showed no significant difference compared with those of commercially available heat- and self-curing acrylic resins (p>0.01). Within limitation of this investigation, methyl methacrylate-UDMA blend polymer of this composition is available for denture base resin.

Pathologische bewegungskorrelierte kortikale Potenziale (MRCPs) bei Musikern mit aktionsinduzierter fokaler Dystonie (2004)

Einleitung: Musikerdystonien sind durch einen schmerzfreien Verlust der feinmotorischen Koordination lang eingeübter Bewegungsfolgen gekennzeichnet. Als Pathomechanismen werden die Fusion vergrößerter kortikaler sensomotorischer Repräsentationen oder eine Störung der lateralen Hemmung in kortikalen und subkortikalen Schaltkreisen diskutiert. Um die Pathophysiologie der Erkrankung weiter aufzuklären wurden bewegungskorrelierte kortikale Potenziale (MRCPs) bei dystonen Musikern und bei gesunden Kontrollen abgeleitet. Methode: Neun Musiker mit einseitiger fokaler Hand-Dystonie wurden gesunden Musikern sowie einer Kontrollgruppe von Nicht-Musikern gegenübergestellt. Es wurden MRCPs von 11 Elektrodenpositionen über bilateralen sensomotorischen Rindenfeldern abgeleitet. Die Bewegungsaufgaben bestanden a) im Anschlag eines einzigen Tones mit dem Zeigefinger und b) in der Ausführung einer komplexen Bewegungssequenz auf einem Steinway-Flügel. Ergebnisse: Gesunde Musiker zeigten bei der komplexen Aufgabe gegenüber Nicht-Musikern eine stärkere Aktivierung der prämotorischen Region vor Bewegungsbeginn und reduzierte motorische Potenziale. Patienten zeigten gegenüber Musikern nur bei Ausführung der Aufgabe mit der betroffenen Hand eine erhöhte späte NS'-Komponente vor Bewegungsbeginn. Diskussion: Die veränderten Aktivierungsmuster von gesunden Musikern passen zum Konzept der übungsinduzierten Plastizität mit funktioneller und struktureller Vergrößerung relevanter kortikaler Areale. Bei dystonen Musikern kann die übermäßige Aktivierung supplementär-motorischer Areale vor Bewegungsbeginn für eine defiziente Inhibition in kortikalen-subkortikalen Erregungsschleifen sprechen. Schlussfolgerung: Bei Musikern mit fokalen Dystonien zeigen MRCPs in einem aufgabenspezifischen Kontext eine gestörte kortikale Inhibition vor Bewegungsbeginn.
Characteristics of solid-target charge-exchange analyzers for energetic ion diagnostics on tokamaks (1987)

Compact electrostatic charge-exchange analyzers have been constructed for installation in areas of high magnetic fields and restricted access near tokamak fusion devices. The analyzers employed carbon stripping foils, and have been calibrated for proton energies between 1 and 70 keV. They have been successfully used to study charge-exchange losses in auxiliary-heated tokamak plasmas.
