Efficiency and effectiveness analysis of a new direct drive miniature quadruped robot (2013)

This paper introduces a new, 50g miniature robot (Figure 1 and attached video) that uses four direct-drive hybrid wheel/legs and has been clocked at speeds exceeding 30 body lengths/s. The lowest recorded cost of transport (defined as total energy to move the robot mass a given distance) is 0.90. We discuss hardware considerations for design of robots at this scale, and the benefits of a direct-drive system over coupled transmissions. We develop a simple simulation model to examine the effects of drive speed and mechanical properties of the legs, and compare the results with experimental data on efficiency and effectiveness of locomotion with various leg designs.
Rhodococcus equi hyperimmune plasma decreases pneumonia severity after a randomised experimental challenge of neonatal foals (2016)

Since a vaccine is not available against Rhodococcus equi, R equi-specific hyperimmune plasma (HIP) is commonly used, although its efficacy remains controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a commercially available HIP to prevent clinical rhodococcal pneumonia in neonatal foals after experimental challenge.
Scalar-Wave Localization in a Two-Component Composite (1986)

Scalar-wave localization characteristics in a two-component composite are calculated as a function of frequency, relative volume fraction, and impedance contrast between the components. It is found that the occurrence of localization requires a minimum impedance contrast whose value is defined by a critical point on the localization phase diagram. Furthermore, localization is shown to be closely tied to resonant scattering, and there is a multitude of mobility edges and localization regions associated with resonance harmonics.
Side Chain Regioisomers that Dictate Optical Properties and Mechanofluorochromism through Crystal Packing (2020)

Designing strong interactions into π-conjugated materials can direct their typically uncontrolled molecular packing and is an important strategy toward tuning their technologically relevant properties in the solid state. Here we demonstrate unconventional control over solid-state fluorescence and mechanofluorochromism (MFC) through regiochemical substitutions in side chains of 12 three-ring phenylene ethynylenes (PEs) that employ fluoroarene–arene (ArF–ArH) interactions between tetrafluoro ArF pendants and PE main chains to direct crystal packing, with single-atom variations of the lone proton in ArF pendants between 4-hydro, 5-hydro, and 6-hydro substitution yielding in two cases dramatically different fluorescence and MFC behavior. X-ray crystal structures reveal key intermolecular interactions of ArF rings, including their lone protons, which vary as a function of substitution pattern and contribute to optical properties in solids. Rarely reported, particularly with such dramatic results, this systematic study on regiochemical effects over solid-state properties demonstrates the versatility of using discrete, directional interactions of side chains for noncovalent control in conjugated materials.
Mechatronic Systems Design for an Autonomous Robotic System for High-Efficiency Bridge Deck Inspection and Evaluation (2013)

The condition of bridges is critical for the safety of the traveling public. Bridges deteriorate with time as a result of material aging, excessive loading, environmental effects, and inadequate maintenance. The current practice of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of bridge decks cannot meet the increasing demands for highly efficient, cost-effective, and safety-guaranteed inspection and evaluation. In this paper, a mechatronic systems design for an autonomous robotic system for highly efficient bridge deck inspection and evaluation is presented. An autonomous holonomic mobile robot is used as a platform to carry various NDE sensing systems for simultaneous and fast data collection. The robot's NDE sensor suite includes ground penetrating radar arrays, acoustic/seismic arrays, electrical resistivity sensors, and video cameras. Besides the NDE sensors, the robot is also equipped with various onboard navigation sensors such as global positioning system (GPS), inertial measurement units (IMU), laser scanner, etc. An integration scheme is presented to fuse the measurements from the GPS, the IMU and the wheel encoders for high-accuracy robot localization. The performance of the robotic NDE system development is demonstrated through extensive testing experiments and field deployments.
c-axis transport and resistivity anisotropy of lightly to moderately dopedLa2−xSrxCuO4single crystals: Implications on the charge transport mechanism (2002)

Both in-plane and out-of-plane resistivities $({\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ab}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c})$ are measured in high-quality ${\mathrm{La}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$ single crystals in the lightly to moderately doped region $0.01&lt;~x&lt;~0.10,$ and the resistivity anisotropy is determined. In all the samples studied, the anisotropy ratio ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}/{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ab}}$ quickly increases with decreasing temperature, although in nonsuperconducting samples the strong localization effect causes ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}/{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ab}}$ to decrease at low temperatures. Most notably, it is found that ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}/{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ab}}$ at moderate temperatures $(100--300 \mathrm{K})$ is almost completely independent of doping in the nonsuperconducting regime $(0.01&lt;~x&lt;~0.05);$ this indicates that the same charge confinement mechanism that renormalizes the c-axis hopping rate is at work down to $x=0.01.$ It is discussed that this striking x independence of ${\ensuremath{\rho}}_{c}/{\ensuremath{\rho}}_{\mathrm{ab}}$ is consistent with the idea that holes form a self-organized network of hole-rich regions, which also explains the unusually metallic in-plane transport of the holes in the lightly doped region. Furthermore, the data for $x&gt;0.05$ suggest that the emergence of the superconductivity is related to an increase in the c-axis coupling.
Flow-cytometry: A valuable tool to enable process improvements in whole-cell biotransformations. ACS 1-5 April, San Diego CA, USA (2001)

Two double-blind randomized crossover studies were carried out in healthy male subjects to determine the cardiovascular effects of fenoldopam and to assess whether they could be modified by metoclopramide. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were measured supine and upright, before and for up to 4 h after dosing. Single oral doses of fenoldopam 50, 100 or 150 mg or placebo were administered in one study. In the other study, subjects received 20 mg metoclopramide or placebo intravenously, 20 min before an oral dose of 100 mg fenoldopam or placebo. Fenoldopam produced decreases in diastolic BP and increases in HR indicative of an orally active systemic arteriolar vasodilator. Mean peak responses occurred 30-60 min after dosing and values had returned to pretreatment levels within 3-4 h. The decrease in diastolic BP was partially attenuated by pretreatment with metoclopramide. Thus, at least in part, the fall in BP following fenoldopam could be due to an interaction with dopamine receptors.
Dietary Soy Protein Isolate and Its Undigested High Molecular Fraction Upregulate Hepatic ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter G5 and ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter G8 mRNA and Increase Biliary Secretion of Cholesterol in Rats (2009)

Dietary soy protein isolate (SPI) and its undigested high molecular fraction (HMF) exhaustively digested with proteases, compared with casein (CAS), significantly reduced serum and liver cholesterol concentration in rats. Biliary excretion of cholesterol was significantly higher in rats fed SPI and HMF than in those fed CAS. Hepatic expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter G5 (ABCG5) and ATP-binding cassette transporter G8 (ABCG8) mRNA was significantly higher in rats fed SPI and HMF than in those fed CAS. These observations suggest that increased biliary excretion of cholesterol in SPI and HMF groups is caused by the enhanced expression of Abcg5/Abcg8.
Exciplex Formation and Energy Transfer in a Self‐Assembled Metal–Organic Hybrid System (2012)

Exciting assemblies: A metal-organic self-assembly of pyrenebutyric acid (PBA), 1,10-phenanthroline (o-phen), and Mg(II) shows solid-state fluorescence originating from a 1:1 PBA-o-phen exciplex. This exciplex fluorescence is sensitized by another residual PBA chromophore through an excited-state energy-transfer process. The solvent polarity modulates the self-assembly and the corresponding exciplex as well as the energy transfer, resulting in tunable emission of the hybrid (see figure).

Nonlinear Complexity Analysis of Brain fMRI Signals in Schizophrenia (2014)

We investigated the differences in brain fMRI signal complexity in patients with schizophrenia while performing the Cyberball social exclusion task, using measures of Sample entropy and Hurst exponent (H). 13 patients meeting diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM IV) criteria for schizophrenia and 16 healthy controls underwent fMRI scanning at 1.5 T. The fMRI data of both groups of participants were pre-processed, the entropy characterized and the Hurst exponent extracted. Whole brain entropy and H maps of the groups were generated and analysed. The results after adjusting for age and sex differences together show that patients with schizophrenia exhibited higher complexity than healthy controls, at mean whole brain and regional levels. Also, both Sample entropy and Hurst exponent agree that patients with schizophrenia have more complex fMRI signals than healthy controls. These results suggest that schizophrenia is associated with more complex signal patterns when compared to healthy controls, supporting the increase in complexity hypothesis, where system complexity increases with age or disease, and also consistent with the notion that schizophrenia is characterised by a dysregulation of the nonlinear dynamics of underlying neuronal systems.
Light diffusion in multi-layered translucent materials (2005)

This paper introduces a shading model for light diffusion in multi-layered translucent materials. Previous work on diffusion in translucent materials has assumed smooth semi-infinite homogeneous materials and solved for the scattering of light using a dipole diffusion approximation. This approximation breaks down in the case of thin translucent slabs and multi-layered materials. We present a new efficient technique based on multiple dipoles to account for diffusion in thin slabs. We enhance this multipole theory to account for mismatching indices of refraction at the top and bottom of of translucent slabs, and to model the effects of rough surfaces. To model multiple layers, we extend this single slab theory by convolving the diffusion profiles of the individual slabs. We account for multiple scattering between slabs by using a variant of Kubelka-Munk theory in frequency space. Our results demonstrate diffusion of light in thin slabs and multi-layered materials such as paint, paper, and human skin.

Architectural Reliability: Lifetime Reliability Characterization and Management ofMany-Core Processors (2014)

This paper presents a lifetime reliability characterization of many-core processors based on a full-system simulation of integrated microarchitecture, power, thermal, and reliability models. Under normal operating conditions, our model and analysis reveal that the mean-time-to-failure of cores on the die show normal distribution. From the processor-level perspective, the key insight is that reducing the variance of the distribution can improve lifetime reliability by avoiding early failures. Based on this understanding, we present two variance reduction techniques for proactive reliability management; i) proportional dynamic voltage-frequency scaling (DVFS) and ii) coordinated thread swapping. A major advantage of using variance reduction techniques is that the improvement of system lifetime reliability can be achieved without adding design margins or spare components.

Microfluidics for the single cell analysis of circulating tumor cells in lung cancer (2017)

Single cell detection and analysis offers a new dimension to look for disease related mutations within biological samples. Analyzing samples at the single cell level will give unprecedented information and is necessary for the next frontier in precision, targeted medicine. Current detection mechanisms are often limited by population-averaged studies, potentially missing out on specific disease related mutations critical to understanding or diagnosing&nbsp;the disease properly. Here we present a microfluidic biochip that can isolate single cells efficiently. Our device is effective to minimize cell losses that aids in the sample preparation of rare cell events such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood. We had&nbsp;demonstrated that our device was&nbsp;useful to allow sensitive detection of critical mutations linked to drug response, which would&nbsp;otherwise be missed out in bulk analysis. In our preliminary clinical study, we revealed that CTC counts within lung cancer patients were&nbsp;limiting and the dominant EGFR mutations such as L858R and T790M were present within these CTCs. It also highlighted the heterogeneous nature of the disease as not all cells carry these mutations.&nbsp;We envision the biochip will enable efficient isolation of rare single cell samples and coupled with downstream molecular characterization of CTCs will aid in realizing the personalized medicine for cancer patients.
Simulation Test of Grease-Lubricated Steel-Polymer Interface of Worm Gear (1998)

Steel worm and polymer worm gear are typical parts in some grease-lubricated electric power steering systems. A grease-lubricated steel-polymer interface has some tribological characteristics which are different from a conventional metal-metal interface. In this work, a pin-on-disk tribometer was used to measure the friction and wear of the steel-polymer interface. The pin material was steel and the disk material was either Nylon 6 or Delrin 100. The experiments were performed under different temperatures using two different greases: a lithium soap synthetic (Code S) grease and a barium soap mineral oil (Code M) grease. The tests indicated that friction variation over a temperature range of – 15° to 150°C was larger in lubricated tests than in nonlubricated tests. In a comparison between the two greases, the M grease has a lower friction coefficient than the S grease, at lower temperatures (- 15° to 28°C). However, at a higher temperature range (75° to 150°C), the S grease has lower friction coefficients than the M grease because of the good thermal and oxidation stability of synthetic grease. The bench wear tests indicated that Delrin 100 had a much deeper wear track than the. Nylon 6 under nonlubricated sliding. In addition, Delrin 100 also had a slightly higher wear rate than Nylon 6 under lubricated sliding conditions.
Optimal use of a mixed model for fuzzy programming and integer programming to determine the optimal location for emergency health services (2019)

Considered operations research is one of the most important scientific methods in the processes of strategic decision-making at various levels, especially decisions related to the drawing and planning of services necessary for human life. Hence the needs to develop an optimal method or model in light of which decisions are made, to optimize the decision-making process and strategic plans. In this research, optimal locations for emergency health services is identified in Najaf, Iraq. Because of the importance of these service sites to facilitate the speed of access of citizens when needed to receive those services, which are directly related to human life as soon as possible and with the lowest costs. In this research we will provide a mixed model of fuzzy programming and numerical programming in relation to the times of access to the proposed places to create health services sites being more flexible in decision making.
