Free-standing films of PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 for uncooled infrared detectors (2001)

Highly textured PbSc0.5Ta0.5O3 (PST) films were grown on (111) Pt/Si by the sol–gel technique. The PST films were subsequently lifted off the silicon substrate using reactive ion etching. A 40%–50% increase in dielectric constant and pyroelectric coefficient was observed for suspended films compared to those properties of the PST films on a Si substrate. Typical values of the pyroelectric coefficient were measured to be 20–45 nC/(cm2 K) for 200–300 nm thick PST films. The loss tangent values were below 0.02 (at 10 kHz), and the leakage current density was as low as 2–3×10−8 A/cm2 at 1 V bias.
Are adenoviruses zoonotic? A systematic review of the evidence (2019)

Adenoviruses (AdVs) are major contributors to clinical illnesses. Novel human and animal AdVs continue to be identified and characterized. Comparative analyses using bioinformatic methods and Omics-based technologies allow insights into how these human pathogens have emerged and their potential for host cross-species transmission. Systematic review of literature published across ProQuest, Pubmed, and Web of Science databases for evidence of adenoviral zoonotic potential identified 589 citations. After removing duplicates, 327 citations were screened for relevance; of which, 74 articles received full-text reviews. Among these, 24 were included here, of which 16 demonstrated evidence of zoonotic transmission of AdVs. These documented instances of AdV crossing host species barriers between humans and non-human primate, bat, feline, swine, canine, ovine, and caprine. Eight studies sought to but did not find evidence of zoonosis. The findings demonstrate substantial evidence suggesting AdVs have previously and will continue crossing host species barriers. These have human health consequences both in terms of novel pathogen emergence and epidemic outbreaks, and of appropriate and safe use of non-human adenoviruses for therapeutics. As routine human clinical diagnostics may miss a novel cross-species adenovirus infection in humans, next generation sequencing or panspecies molecular diagnostics may be necessary to detect such incursions.
Spatio-Temporal Chaos and Localization (1991)

Nonlinearities in the flow equations of spatially extended systems can give rise to high-dimensional deterministic chaos. This plays the role of an intrinsic source of disorder in tangent space, and can lead to localization phenomena. A transfer matrix approach is applied to 1d chains of coupled maps to unravel the structure of the Lyapunov vectors. Generically, we find localized and fractal "states", the latter ones being characterized by an information dimension strictly bounded between 0 and 1.
Crosstalk between Existential Phenomenological Psychotherapy and Neuroscience in Mood and Anxiety Disorders (2020)

Psychotherapy is a comprehensive biological treatment modifying complex underlying cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and regulatory responses in the brain, leading patients with mental illness to a new interpretation of the sense of self and others. Psychotherapy is an art of science integrated with psychology and/or philosophy. Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary science of the neuron, the glial cells including oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and astrocytes and the neural circuits to understand learning, memory, behavior, perception, and consciousness. Both psychotherapy and neuroscience deal with the brain; nevertheless, they continue to stay polarized far. Existential phenomenological psychotherapy (EPP) has been in the forefront of meaning-centered counseling for almost a century. The phenomenological approach in psychotherapy originated in the works of Martin Heidegger, Ludwig Binswanger, Medard Boss and Viktor Frankl, and it has been committed to account for the existential possibilities and limitations of one’s life. EPP provides philosophically rich interpretations and empowers counseling techniques to assist mentally suffering individuals by finding meaning and purpose of life. The approach has proven to be effective in treating mood and anxiety disorders. This review article demonstrates the development of EPP, the therapeutic methodology, evidence-based accounts of its curative techniques, current understanding of mood and anxiety disorders in neuroscience, and a possible converging path to translate and integrate meaning-centered psychotherapy and neuroscience, concluding that the existential phenomenological approach in psychotherapy is a viable and potent alternative to the currently prevailing medication-based approaches.
THREE NATURAL ZIRCON STANDARDS FOR U‐TH‐PB, LU‐HF, TRACE ELEMENT AND REE ANALYSES (1995)

We report here the results of a study to develop natural zircon geochemical standards for calibrating the U‐(Th)‐Pb geochronometer and Hf isotopic analyses. Additional data were also collected for the major, minor and trace element contents of the three selected sample sets. A total of five large zircon grains (masses between 0.5 and 238 g) were selected for this study, representing three different suites of zircons with ages of 1065 Ma, 2.5 Ma and 0.9 Ma. Geochemical laboratories can obtain these materials by contacting Geostandards Newsletter.
The statistics of identifying differentially expressed genes in Expresso and TM4: a comparison (2006)

The results of this research are of practical value to biologists who analyze microarray data sets. The TM4 normalization and filtering pipeline corrects microarray-specific systematic bias and complements the normalization stage in Expresso analysis. The results of Expresso using MIV data have the best agreement with qRT-PCR results. In one experiment, MIV is a better choice than IIV as input to data normalization and statistical analysis methods, as it yields as greater number of statistically significant differentially expressed genes; TM4 does not support the choice of MIV input data. Overall, the more flexible and extensive statistical models of Expresso achieve more accurate analytical results, when judged by the yardstick of qRT-PCR data, in the context of an experimental design of modest complexity.
Development and Optimization of an Aluminum Forming Process Using Finite Element Analysis as a Tool to Perform Parametric Studies (1996)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Forming of metal is a very challenging problem. To optimize a particular forming process the manufacturing engineer needs to determine the relationship between several dependent material properties and the independent forces on the metal that are generated by the press and tooling. The classical method to optimize a forming process relies on experience and trial and error development techniques. The forming of aluminum, when compared to steel, requires more development work to optimize the forming process. Finite element analysis provides a method to quickly perform the trial and error iterations necessary to optimize the forming of aluminum.&lt;/div&gt;
High repetition granular Co/Pt multilayers with improved perpendicular remanent magnetization for high-density magnetic recording (2022)

Thanks to the strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), excellent processing compatibility as well as novel spintronic phenomenon, Co/Pt multilayers have been attracting massive attention and widely used in magnetic storage. However, reversed magnetic domains come into being with the increasing layer repetition ‘ N ’ to reduce magneto-static energy, resulting in the remarkable diminishment of the remanent magnetization ( M r ). As a result, the product of M r and thickness ( i.e. , the remanent moment-thickness product, M r t ), a key parameter in magnetic recording for reliable data storing and reading, also decreases dramatically. To overcome this issue, we deposit an ultra-thick granular [Co/Pt] 80 multilayer with a total thickness of 68 nm on granular SiN x buffer layer. The M r t value, M r to saturation magnetization ( M s ) ratio as well as out of plane (OOP) coercivity ( H coop ) are high up to 2.97 memu/cm 2 , 67%, and 1940 Oe (1 Oe = 79.5775 A⋅m −1 ), respectively, which is remarkably improved compared with that of continuous [Co/Pt] 80 multilayers. That is because large amounts of grain boundaries in the granular multilayers can efficiently impede the propagation and expansion of reversed magnetic domains, which is verified by experimental investigations and micromagnetic simulation results. The simulation results also indicate that the value of M r t , M r / M s ratio, and H coop can be further improved through optimizing the granule size, which can be experimentally realized by manipulating the process parameter of SiN x buffer layer. This work provides an alternative solution for achieving high M r t value in ultra-thick Co/Pt multilayers, which is of unneglectable potential in applications of high-density magnetic recording.
EFFECT OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING ON COLOR STABILITY AND ON MICROBIOLOGY OF TURKEY BREAST MEAT (1994)

ABSTRACT The effects of several modified atmospheres (100% O 2 , 100% N 2 , 100% CO 2 + O 2 scavenger, and 25% CO 2 9% N 2 66% O 2 ) and vacuum on the color stability of turkey were studied. Microbiological examinations were performed at days 0, 7, 14 and 21. pH and pigment content measurements were performed at days l and 2, respectively. Color coordinates were determined at intervals of 2, 5, 7, 11, 14 and 21 days storage in the CIELAB system (1976). Meat kept under vacuum and 100% CO 2 + O 2 scavenger treatment showed the highest a* values color stability (p &lt; 0.05) and the lowest rate of myoglobin oxidation (p &lt; 0.05). The level of microbiological contamination of turkey breast meat stored with 100% CO 2 + O 2 scavenger was the lowest. Conditioning breast turkey meat with 100% CO 2 + O 2 scavenger or under vacuum would improve the color stability during storage.
Record Efficiency InGaAs Thermophotovoltaic Cells For Energy Storage Applications (2022)

Utility-scale energy storage is a significant technical challenge and a key barrier to widespread adoption of renewable energy. An efficient, modular, and scalable solution can be achieved by storing energy in the form of high-temperature heat and then extracting energy, on demand, using thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cells to convert the heat back to electricity. The ideal thermal emitter temperature is determined by balancing the desire for higher power densities, high-temperature compliant materials, and efficient, cost-effective thermophotovoltaic cells, among other considerations. 0.74-eV InGaAs lattice-matched to InP is a good choice for a cell absorber, and here we describe our development of InGaAs TPV cells with efficiencies of 38.8% from an ~1850 degrees celsius source temperature. This is the highest efficiency yet measured and reported for a single-junction TPV device. This efficiency was achieved by carefully quantifying and then reducing the parasitic absorption in the semiconductor layers, and by significantly reducing the series resistance to minimize the power loss.
Optimal adaptive controllers for unknown systems (1981)

We consider the problem of adaptively controlling an unknown Markov Chain. We provide a heuristic argument of why a certain family of adaptive controllers is well-behaved. Specifically, an intuitive explanation is offered (which supplements an earlier mathematical treatment) to show that the adaptive control law converges in a Cesaro sense to the set of optimal control laws and also that the long-term average cost incurred by the adaptive controllers is optimal.
Characterisation of Bacteriophage-Encoded Depolymerases Selective for Key Klebsiella pneumoniae Capsular Exopolysaccharides (2021)

Capsular polysaccharides enable clinically important clones of <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> to cause severe systemic infections in susceptible hosts. Phage-encoded capsule depolymerases have the potential to provide an alternative treatment paradigm in patients when multiple drug resistance has eroded the efficacy of conventional antibiotic chemotherapy. An investigation of 164 K<i>. pneumoniae</i> from intensive care patients in Thailand revealed a large number of distinct K types in low abundance but four (K2, K51, K1, K10) with a frequency of at least 5%. To identify depolymerases with the capacity to degrade capsules associated with these common K-types, 62 lytic phage were isolated from Thai hospital sewage water using K1, K2 and K51 isolates as hosts; phage plaques, without exception, displayed halos indicative of the presence of capsule-degrading enzymes. Phage genomes ranged in size from 41-348 kb with between 50 and 535 predicted coding sequences (CDSs). Using a custom phage protein database we were successful in applying annotation to 30 - 70% (mean = 58%) of these CDSs. The largest genomes, of so-called jumbo phage, carried multiple tRNAs as well as CRISPR repeat and spacer sequences. One of the smaller phage genomes was found to contain a putative Cas type 1E gene, indicating a history of host DNA acquisition in these obligate lytic phage. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) indicated that some phage displayed an extended host range due to the presence of multiple depolymerase genes; in total, 42 candidate depolymerase genes were identified with up to eight in a single genome. Seven distinct virions were selected for further investigation on the basis of host range, phage morphology and WGS. Candidate genes for K1, K2 and K51 depolymerases were expressed and purified as his<sub>6</sub>-tagged soluble protein and enzymatic activity demonstrated against <i>K. pneumoniae</i> capsular polysaccharides by gel electrophoresis and Anton-Paar rolling ball viscometry. Depolymerases completely removed the capsule in K-type-specific fashion from <i>K. pneumoniae</i> cells. We conclude that broad-host range phage carry multiple enzymes, each with the capacity to degrade a single K-type, and any future use of these enzymes as therapeutic agents will require enzyme cocktails for utility against a range of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> infections.
VIBNN (2018)

Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) have been proposed to address the problem of model uncertainty in training and inference. By introducing weights associated with conditioned probability distributions, BNNs are capable of resolving the overfitting issue commonly seen in conventional neural networks and allow for small-data training, through the variational inference process. Frequent usage of Gaussian random variables in this process requires a properly optimized Gaussian Random Number Generator (GRNG). The high hardware cost of conventional GRNG makes the hardware implementation of BNNs challenging. In this paper, we propose VIBNN, an FPGA-based hardware accelerator design for variational inference on BNNs. We explore the design space for massive amount of Gaussian variable sampling tasks in BNNs. Specifically, we introduce two high performance Gaussian (pseudo) random number generators: 1) the RAM-based Linear Feedback Gaussian Random Number Generator (RLF-GRNG), which is inspired by the properties of binomial distribution and linear feedback logics; and 2) the Bayesian Neural Network-oriented Wallace Gaussian Random Number Generator. To achieve high scalability and efficient memory access, we propose a deep pipelined accelerator architecture with fast execution and good hardware utilization. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed VIBNN implementations on an FPGA can achieve throughput of 321,543.4 Images/s and energy efficiency upto 52,694.8 Images/J while maintaining similar accuracy as its software counterpart.
Total Ionizing Dose Effects on Strained Ge pMOS FinFETs on Bulk Si (2016)

We have characterized the total ionizing dose response of strained Ge pMOS FinFETs built on bulk Si using a fin replacement process. Devices irradiated to 1.0 Mrad (SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ) show minimal transconductance degradation (less than 5%), very small V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sub> shifts (less than 40 mV in magnitude) and very little ON/OFF current ratio degradation (<;5%), and only modest variation in radiation response with transistor geometry (typically less than normal part-to-part variation). Both before and after irradiation, the performance of these strained Ge pMOS FinFETs is far superior to that of past generations of planar Ge pMOS devices. These improved properties result from significant improvements in processing technology, as well as the enhanced gate control provided by the strained Ge FinFET technology.

Software transactional memory for large scale clusters (2008)

While there has been extensive work on the design of software transactional memory (STM) for cache coherent shared memory systems, there has been no work on the design of an STM system for very large scale platforms containing potentially thousands of nodes. In this work, we present Cluster-STM, an STM designed for high performance on large-scale commodity clusters. Our design addresses several novel issues posed by this domain, including aggregating communication, managing locality, and distributing transactional metadata onto the nodes. We also re-evaluate several STM design choices previously studied for cache-coherent machines and conclude that, in some cases, different choices are appropriate on clusters. Finally, we show that our design scales well up to 512 processors. This is because on a cluster, the main barrier to STM scalability is the remote communication overhead imposed by the STM operations, and our design aggregates most of that communication with the communication of the underlying data.
Band-gap energy ofInxGa1−xNyAs1−yas a function of N content (2002)

The band-gap energy of InGaNAs decreases with N content at a smaller rate than that of GaNAs. Precise absorption measurements in strained InGaNAs/GaAs quantum wells on GaAs(001) are reported, and the result is explained in the frame of the repulsion between the nitrogen level and the \ensuremath{\Gamma} conduction band. As the energy separation between both levels is larger when the In content increases, the effect of introducing nitrogen is significantly reduced. In order to get a quantitative description of experimental results, the model includes a detailed description of the local N environment. Results suggest that in our InGaNAs/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy, the N configuration should be close to the statistical one. Using this model to explain the effect of annealing on band structure, we conclude that, on average, N atoms gain one additional nearest-neighbor In atom during the annealing, leading to a moderately large band-gap blueshift of 20--30 meV.

Fault containment and error detection in the time-triggered architecture (2003)

This paper investigates the fault-containment and error-detection mechanisms of distributed safety-critical time-triggered systems. The following critical failure modes of a fault-containment region are introduced and analyzed in detail: babbling idiot failures, masquerading failures, slightly-off-specification (SOS) failures, crash/omission (CO) failures, and massive transient disturbances. After a short description of the two time-triggered protocols TTP/C and FlexRay this paper tries to show how these two protocols handle the listed failure modes at the architecture level.

Anthelmintic action of plant cysteine proteinases against the rodent stomach nematode,Protospirura muricola,in vitroandin vivo (2006)

Cysteine proteinases from the fruit and latex of plants, including papaya, pineapple and fig, were previously shown to have a rapid detrimental effect, in vitro, against the rodent gastrointestinal nematodes, Heligmosomoides polygyrus (which is found in the anterior small intestine) and Trichuris muris (which resides in the caecum). Proteinases in the crude latex of papaya also showed anthelmintic efficacy against both nematodes in vivo. In this paper, we describe the in vitro and in vivo effects of these plant extracts against the rodent nematode, Protospirura muricola, which is found in the stomach. As in earlier work, all the plant cysteine proteinases examined, with the exception of actinidain from the juice of kiwi fruit, caused rapid loss of motility and digestion of the cuticle, leading to death of the nematode in vitro. In vivo, in contrast to the efficacy against H. polygyrus and T. muris, papaya latex only showed efficacy against P. muricola adult female worms when the stomach acidity had been neutralized prior to administration of papaya latex. Therefore, collectively, our studies have demonstrated that, with the appropriate formulation, plant cysteine proteinases have efficacy against nematodes residing throughout the rodent gastrointestinal tract.

Lin28 and let-7 in cell metabolism and cancer. (2015)

Malignant cells exhibit major metabolic alterations. The regulatory gene networks that regulate metabolism and the impact of these alterations on overall cellular fitness deserve further exploration. The let-7 microRNAs and their antagonists, the Lin28 RNA-binding proteins, are well-known for controlling the timing of embryonic development. This pathway has recently been shown to regulate glucose metabolism in adult mice and to reprogram metabolism during tissue injury and repair. In addition, many lines of evidence have established that Lin28 is an oncogene that drives tumorigenesis in part by suppressing let-7. The metabolic underpinnings of this oncogenic program are just beginning to be uncovered. Here, we will review the current understanding of how Lin28 exerts regenerative and oncogenic effects through metabolic mechanisms.
