Support for a postdictive account of the flash-lag effect (2010)

In the flash-lag illusion, the location of a moving object aligned with a flashed stimulus is misperceived ahead of the flash. Two explanations have been offered. Nijhawan (Nature, 1994) proposes a predictive theory, which claims that the visual system corrects for transmission delays by using the motion of the object before the flash to extrapolate its position at the time of the flash. In contrast, Eagleman and Sejnowski (JoV07) have suggested a postdictive theory that argues that the motion of the object after the flash biases the perceived position of the object at the time of the flash. The postdictive theory correctly predicts that the flash-lag effect is not observed when the moving object disappears at the time of the flash. In order to account for this, the predictive theory requires an additional assumption, that a transient signal on the moving object at the time of the flash will override the extrapolation, yielding a veridical percept. To test this assumption, we presented moving items with three types of transients occurring at the same time as the flash. The moving object was changed from black to white, reduced from 30% to 4% contrast, or reduced from 4% to 0% contrast (i.e. it disappeared). In the first two conditions, the flash-lag effect was just as strong as in a control condition with no transient signals. When the moving item vanished, however, the illusion was entirely absent, even though the transient signal generated by the disappearance of this moving low contrast object was much less than that generated in the previous two conditions. Transient signals per se do not disrupt the flash-lag effect. Rather, the disappearance of the moving object, and the subsequent lack of motion signals, eliminates the effect. This finding contradicts the predictive account, but is consistent with a postdictive account.

On the design of a special-purpose digital control processor (1984)

This paper examines the design of a special-purpose digital processor targeted for linear-regulator control system implementation, and monolithic microelectronic fabrication. In order to improve the computational dynamic range, accuracy, and speed of this digital control processor (DCP), a logarithmic arithmetic is selected. This selection is based upon an examination of DCP data wordlength requirements which are in turn estimated from computational dynamic range and accuracy considerations. DCP arithmetic implementation and architecture are also examined, and the selection of a logarithmic arithmetic is seen to be advantageous from these viewpoints. Finally, contemporary microcomputer technology is used to estimate DCP computational speed. When compared to microcomputers, the proposed DCP appears to allow a computational speed increase in excess of 300-fold while maintaining an equivalent computational accuracy and dynamic range.
Nanofabricated three dimensional photonic crystals operating at optical wavelengths (1996)

We describe the nanofabrication of the first three-dimensional (3-d) photonic crystals with a forbidden photonic bandgap lying in the near infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, 1.1 μm < λ < 1.5 μm, just beyond the electronic band-edge of GaAs. We fabricated these structures by chemically assisted ion beam etching through a triangular hole array mask, defined by electron beam lithography on GaAs. The 3-d forbidden photonic bandgap was spectrally tuned by 2-d lithographic control of the 3-d spatial periodicity. Optical transmission spectra were generally in good agreement with microwave frequency transmission on centimeter scale models. Nevertheless, we find that the mid-gap optical reflectivity is surprisingly sensitive to structural errors in the photonic crystal, degrading the optical rejection from an expected 95% to an observed 80%. We suggest that mid-gap attenuation in the most vulnerable k-space directions, rather than overall thickness, is the relevant Figure-of-Merit for nano-scale photonic crystals.

Energy Efficient Hierarchical Clustering Approaches in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey (2017)

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are one of the significant technologies due to their diverse applications such as health care monitoring, smart phones, military, disaster management, and other surveillance systems. Sensor nodes are usually deployed in large number that work independently in unattended harsh environments. Due to constraint resources, typically the scarce battery power, these wireless nodes are grouped into clusters for energy efficient communication. In clustering hierarchical schemes have achieved great interest for minimizing energy consumption. Hierarchical schemes are generally categorized as cluster-based and grid-based approaches. In cluster-based approaches, nodes are grouped into clusters, where a resourceful sensor node is nominated as a cluster head (CH) while in grid-based approach the network is divided into confined virtual grids usually performed by the base station. This paper highlights and discusses the design challenges for cluster-based schemes, the important cluster formation parameters, and classification of hierarchical clustering protocols. Moreover, existing cluster-based and grid-based techniques are evaluated by considering certain parameters to help users in selecting appropriate technique. Furthermore, a detailed summary of these protocols is presented with their advantages, disadvantages, and applicability in particular cases.
Auf der Suche nach Referenzwerten: Scherwellenelastografie (SWE) asymptomatischer Achilles-Sehnen: Ein Vergleich zwischen professionellen Athleten und der Normalbevölkerung (2017)

Die Scherwellenelastografie (SWE) hat sich als nützliches Verfahren zur Beurteilung der Sehnen-Elastizität, insb. bei Tendinopathien, bewährt. Erkrankte Sehnen sind intraindividuell weicher als gesunde, weisen also niedrigere SWE-Werte auf. Wenig ist jedoch bisher über Referenzwerte und interindividuelle Unterschiede zwischen versch. Personengruppen bekannt. Ziel der klinischen Studie war daher ein Vergleich zwischen der Achilles-Sehnenhärte gesunder Profi-Athleten und gesunder Nicht-Athleten, um anhand möglicher Referenzwerte die Früherkennung von Sehnen-Pathologien zu verbessern.

Diazapyrenium-containing catenanes and rotaxanes (1999)

Diazapyrenium units have been incorporated into the π-electron deficient components of four [2]pseudorotaxanes, four [2]catenanes, and two [2]rotaxanes, each having a dioxyarene-based macrocyclic polyether as the π-electron rich component. A dramatic increase in the association constants that characterize the formation of diazapyrenium-containing [2]pseudorotaxanes, relative to those of their bipyridinium-based analogs, was observed in solution studies. These results indicate that the intercomponent non-covalent bonding interactions are reinforced significantly when diazapyrenium, instead of bipyridinium, recognition sites are employed in the π-electron deficient components of this kind of [2]pseudorotaxane. Not surprisingly, therefore, in two asymmetric [2]catenanes which incorporate one diazapyrenium and one bipyridinium recognition site within their tetracationic cyclophane components, the diazapyrenium unit is located inside the cavity of the π-electron rich macrocyclic component as revealed in the solid state by X-ray crystallographic analyses and by 1H NMR spectroscopic studies in solution. Variable temperature 1H NMR spectroscopic studies showed that, in the [2]catenanes, the free energy barriers associated with the circumrotation of one macrocyclic component through the cavity of the other and viceversa increase when diazapyrenium, instead of bipyridinium, recognition sites are employed, reflecting the stronger intercomponent non-covalent bonding interactions involving the former.
Review on Recent Developments in Bioinspired-Materials for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Applications (2022)

Nature has always inspired innovative minds for development of new designs. Animals and plants provide various structures with lower density, more strength and high energy sorption abilities that can incite the development of new designs with significant properties. By observing the important functions of biological structures found in nature, scientists have fabricated structures by bio-inspiration that have been proved to exhibit a significant improvement over traditional structures for their applications in the environmental and energy sector. Bio-fabricated materials have shown many advantages due to their easy synthesis, flexible nature, high performance and multiple functions as these can be used in light harvesting systems, batteries, biofuels, catalysis, purification of water, air and environmental monitoring. However, there is an urgent need for sensitive fabrication instruments that can synthesize bio-inspired structures and convert laboratory scale synthesis into large scale production. The present review highlights recent advances in synthesis of bio-inspired materials and use of hierarchical nanomaterials generated through biomolecular self-assembly for their use in removal of environmental contaminants and sustainable development.
New type of energy harvester with electric double layer electrets (2017)

We demonstrated a new type of vibrational energy harvester based on an electric double layer (EDL) electret. By mechanically modulating interfacial area between vibrating electrode and the EDL electret, the electrode is electrostatically charged and discharged at different phases and electric current is generated. Owing to extremely large capacitance of the EDL electret, vibrational energy harvesters have the unique capability to electrostatically leverage the high-density charge accumulation to the electrode and obtained current density become as high as 9 μA/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> even with low frequency vibration as low as 1 Hz.
High energy proton radiation damage to (AlGa)As-G aAs solar cells (1979)

The performance of (AlGa)As-GaAs solar cells irradiated by medium energy 2, 5, and 10 MeV protons was evaluated. The Si cells without coverglass and a number of GaAs solar cells with 12 mil coverglass were irradiated simultaneously with bare GaAs cells. The cell degradation is directly related to the penetration of depth of protons with GaAs. The influence of periodic and continuous thermal annealing on the GaAs solar cells was investigated.
A microporous metal–organic framework assembled from an aromatic tetracarboxylate for H2 purification (2012)

A NbO-type metal–organic framework UTSA-40 constructed from a novel aromatic tetracarboxylate has been synthesized and structurally characterized. With open metal sites, suitable pore spaces and a moderate BET surface area of 1630 m2 g−1 for the recognition of CO2 and CH4, the activated UTSA-40a has the potential for use in H2 purification processes conducted in fixed bed adsorbers, with higher productivities and lower regeneration costs than those obtained with conventionally used NaX and LTA-5A zeolites when operating at higher pressure. Furthermore, its regeneration cost is also lower than that of the examined MOFs MgMOF-74 and Cu-TDPAT despite its lower productivity.
Online Grasp Plan Refinement for Reducing Defects During Robotic Layup of Composite Prepreg Sheets (2020)

High-performance composites are increasingly being used in the industry. Sheet layup is a process of manufacturing composite components using deformable sheets. We have developed a robotic cell to automate the layup process and overcome the limitations of the manual layup. Generating offline trajectories for robots and executing them without online refinement can introduce defects in the process due to uncertainties in the model of the sheet and environmental factors. Our system computes layup and grasping trajectories for the robots and refines them during the layup process based on the sensor data. We use an approach that augments physical experiments with simulations to train a Gaussian process regression model offline. The use of GPR enables us to quickly refine grasp plans and perform a defect-free layup without slowing down the layup process. We present experimental results on two components.
Optimizing zone temperature setpoint excitation to minimize training data for data-driven dynamic building models (2016)

Poorly designed excitation signals could lead to inaccurate or, even worse, highly correlated parameter estimates in a data-driven model, so it is critical to have an informative training data set in order to obtain an accurate model in a cost effective manner. This paper investigates a sequential optimal design of experiments (DOE) approach to generate an optimal training data set for varying zone temperature setpoints that maximizes the accuracy of parameter estimates for an intended building model structure. This method was applied to a whole building case study in which a simplified thermal network modeling approach was adopted and the thermal parameters were estimated. The obtained optimal trajectory was always under a bang-bang type which enables an exhaustive search scheme to start the sequential design procedure. The designed excitation signals led to significant improvements in model accuracy compared to night-setup/back control strategies that are typically used to vary setpoints.

Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies novel ancestry-specific primary open-angle glaucoma loci and shared biology with vascular mechanisms and cell proliferation (2021)

Abstract Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. There is disparity in POAG prevalence and manifestations across ancestries. We identify novel and unique genetics that underlie POAG risk in different ancestries by performing meta-analysis across 15 biobanks (of the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative) with previously multi-ancestry studies. 18 novel significant loci, three of which were ancestry-specific, and five sex-specific were identified. We performed gene-enrichment and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), implicating vascular and cancer genes. A fifth of these genes are primary ciliary genes. Extensive statistical analysis of genes in the SIX6 and CDKN2B-AS1 loci (implicated in POAG, cardiovascular diseases and cancers) found interaction between SIX6 and causal variants in chr9p21.3, with expression effect on CDKN2A/B . We infer that some POAG risk variants may be ancestry-specific, sex-specific, or both. Our results further support the contribution of vascular, cancer, and primary cilia genes in POAG pathogenesis.

Regulation of E‐cadherin and β‐catenin by Ca2+ in colon carcinoma is dependent on calcium‐sensing receptor expression and function (2007)

An siRNA directed against the extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) was used to down-regulate this protein in CBS colon carcinoma cells. In additional studies, we utilized a variant of the parental CBS line that demonstrates CaSR expression but does not upregulate this protein in response to extracellular Ca(2+). In neither the siRNA-transfected cells nor the Ca(2+)-nonresponsive variant cells did inclusion of Ca(2+) in the culture medium inhibit proliferation or induce morphological alterations. Extracellular Ca(2+) also failed to induce E-cadherin production or a shift in beta-catenin from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane. In mock-transfected cells and in a Ca(2+)-responsive variant line derived from the same parental CBS cells, Ca(2+) treatment resulted in growth-reduction. This was accompanied by increased E-cadherin production and a shift in beta-catenin distribution from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane. Additionally, down-regulation of c-myc and cyclin D1 expression was observed in mock-transfected cells and in the Ca(2+)-responsive variant line (along with reduced T cell factor transcriptional activation). Neither c-myc nor cyclin D1 was significantly down-regulated in the siRNA-transfected cells or in the Ca(2+)-nonresponsive variant cells upon Ca(2+) stimulation. In histological sections of human colon carcinoma CaSR was significantly reduced as compared to the level in normal colonic crypt epithelial cells. Where CaSR expression was high, strong surface staining for E-cadherin and beta-catenin was observed. Where CaSR expression was reduced, beta-catenin surface expression was likewise reduced.
