INFLUENCE OF CORUNDUM AS COARSE AGGREGATE IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE ON PROJECTILE IMPACT RESISTANCE (2019)

The aim of this paper is focused on the influence of corundum as coarse aggregate in high-performance concrete on projectile impact resistance in terms of depth of penetration and size of the crater. Based on the experimental programme, samples of high-performance steel-fibre-reinforced concrete with different types and quantities of coarse aggregates were designed and produced, to be subjected to impact loading in the form of projectile impact. Damaged samples were scanned using a 3D scanner and their surface was evaluated. The goal of the paper was to find the optimum content of coarse aggregate in the mixture in order to improve its resistance against projectile impact.
Safety assessment of the process Bangladesh Petrochemical Company, based on the Vacurema Prime technology, used to recycle post‐consumer PET into food contact materials (2022)

The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP Panel) assessed the safety of the recycling process Bangladesh Petrochemical Company (EU register number RECYC246), which uses the Vacurema Prime technology. The input material is hot caustic washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes originating from collected post-consumer PET containers, including no more than 5% PET from non-food applications. The flakes are heated in a batch reactor (step 2) ■■■■■ and then heated in a continuous reactor (step 3) ■■■■■ before being extruded into pellets. Having examined the challenge test provided, the Panel concluded that step 2 and step 3 are critical in determining the decontamination efficiency of the process. The operating parameters to control the performance of these steps are temperature, pressure and residence time. The Panel concluded that this recycling process is able to ensure that the level of migration of potential unknown contaminants into food is below the conservatively modelled migration of 0.1 μg/kg food. Therefore, the recycled PET obtained from this process is not of safety concern, when used at up to 100% for the manufacture of materials and articles for contact with all types of foodstuffs for long-term storage at room temperature, with or without hotfill. The final articles made of this recycled PET are not intended to be used in microwave and conventional ovens and such uses are not covered by this evaluation.

Accelerated testing of performance of thin film module (2008)

There is an interest in identifying localised\neffects when investigating durability of devices.\nThe combination of tests might also have an\ninfluence on test results. This is investigated\nfor single junction amorphous silicon modules.\nThe modules were put under accelerated\ntesting including thermal cycling, light soaking\nand annealing test. I-V measurement and LBIC\nsystem as characterisation tools are used to\ninvestigate the possible degradation occurring\nin the devices both before and after certain\nstages of the test. Results have shown that\nthere is a difference between modules which\nhave experienced light soaking before being\nexposed to thermal cycling, indicating that the\ninitial light soaking resulted in a UV activation\nof the material, which then changed the\ndurability of the lamination.

Behavioral Diversity with Multiple Behavioral Distances (2014)

Abstract—Recent results in evolutionary robotics show that explicitly encouraging the behavioral diversity of candidate solutions drastically improves the convergence of many experiments. The performance of this technique depends, however, on the choice of a behavioral similarity measure (BSM). Here we propose that the experimenter does not actually need to choose: provided that several similarity measures are conceivable, using them all could lead to better results than choosing a single one. Values computed by several BSM can be averaged, which is computationally expensive because it requires the computation of all the BSM at each generation, or randomly switched at a user-chosen frequency, which is a cheaper alternative. We compare these two approaches in two experimental setups – a ball collecting task and hexapod locomotion – with five different BSMs. Results show that (1) using several BSM in a single run increases the performance while avoiding the need to choose the most appropriate BSM and (2) switching between BSMs leads to better results than taking the mean behavioral diversity, while requiring less computational power.

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Risk Stratification Tools: A Systematic Review of the Literature (2018)

There are multiple risk score tools published; however, all have their strengths and limitations. For this reason, we created a composite score model with data from major articles to predict a patient's risk for postoperative complications. This model aims to ease the shared-decision making process for patients, surgeons, and institutions.
Electrically Driven Technologies for Radioactive Aerosol Abatement (2003)

The purpose of this research project was to develop an improved understanding of how electriexecy driven processes, including electrocoalescence, acoustic agglomeration, and electric filtration, may be employed to efficiently treat problems caused by the formation of aerosols during DOE waste treatment operations. The production of aerosols during treatment and retrieval operations in radioactive waste tanks and during thermal treatment operations such as calcination presents a significant problem of cost, worker exposure, potential for release, and increased waste volume.

A new technique for motion field segmentation and coding for very low bitrate video coding applications (2002)

Motion estimation is a key issue in video coding. In very low bitrate applications, the amount of the side information for the motion field represents an important portion of the total bitrate. This paper presents a joint motion estimation, segmentation and coding technique, which tries to reduce the motion side-information while providing a similar or smaller prediction error when compared to more classical motion estimation techniques.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Through-Silicon Via Planning in 3-D Floorplanning (2010)

In this paper, we will study floorplanning in 3-D integrated circuits (3D-ICs). Although literature is abundant on 3D-IC floorplanning, none of them consider the areas and positions of signal through-silicon vias (TSVs). In previous research, signal TSVs are viewed as points during the floorplanning stage. Ignoring the areas, positions and connections of signal TSVs, previous research estimates wirelength by measuring the half-perimeter wirelength of pins in a net only. Experimental results reveal that 29.7% of nets possess signal TSVs that cannot be put into the white space within the bounding boxes of pins. Moreover, the total wirelength is underestimated by 26.8% without considering the positions of signal TSVs. The considerable error in wirelength estimation severely degrades the optimality of the floorplan result. Therefore, in this paper, we will propose a two-stage 3-D fixed-outline floorplaning algorithm. Stage one simultaneously plans hard macros and TSV-blocks for wirelength reduction. Stage two improves the wirelength by reassigning signal TSVs. Experimental results show that stage one outperforms a post-processing TSV planning algorithm in successful rate by 57%. Compared to the post-processing TSV planning algorithm, the average wirelength of our result is shorter by 22.3%. In addition, stage two further reduces the wirelength by 3.45% without any area overhead.
Increasing the number of users in an optical CDMA system using different power levels (2010)

In this paper, a method is proposed to increase the total number of users in an optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system. The technique is based on employing different optical powers for users with the same address codes to distinguish them from each other. Nonlinear optical regenerators are proposed to separate optical pulses with different powers. A comprehensive algorithm is introduced to design the regenerators. An OCDMA system is simulated using Optiwave's OptiSystem version 7 software to confirm the performance of the proposed method. Results show an error free transmission in system employing the proposed method.
State-Space Modeling and Observer Design of Li-Ion Batteries Using Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy System (2016)

This brief is an attempt toward the development of a simpler model of Li-ion batteries to be used in model-based battery monitoring and diagnostics. We present a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model that can appropriately cope with the nonlinear dynamics of the battery through its inherent multiple-model structure. The proposed model can easily be expanded to any desired range of operation and is also appropriate for the implementation of control strategies. Further, an analytical observer design for the battery diagnostic is also introduced. The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified through a number of simulation studies.
The Anelastic Ericksen Problem: Universal Deformations and Universal Eigenstrains in Incompressible Nonlinear Anelasticity (2020)

Abstract Ericksen’s problem consists of determining all equilibrium deformations that can be sustained solely by the application of boundary tractions for an arbitrary incompressible isotropic hyperelastic material whose stress-free configuration is geometrically flat. We generalize this by first, using a geometric formulation of this problem to show that all the known universal solutions are symmetric with respect to Lie subgroups of the special Euclidean group. Second, we extend this problem to its anelastic version, where the stress-free configuration of the body is a Riemannian manifold. Physically, this situation corresponds to the case where nontrivial finite eigenstrains are present. We characterize explicitly the universal eigenstrains that share the symmetries present in the classical problem, and show that in the presence of eigenstrains, the six known classical families of universal solutions merge into three distinct anelastic families, distinguished by their particular symmetry group. Some generic solutions of these families correspond to well-known cases of anelastic eigenstrains. Additionally, we show that some of these families possess a branch of anomalous solutions, and demonstrate the unique features of these solutions and the equilibrium stress they generate.
Study on measurement method of permittivity for low-loss materials using microstrip ring-resonator (2014)

We have developed a new permittivity measurement method for low-loss materials using a microstrip ring-resonator. This method can be used over broad-bandwidth nearly equal to operating bandwidth of transmission lines. We have measured S 21 of the developed circuit and convert them to time-domain spectrums. By analyzing equally-spaced peaks, we estimated dielectric properties of a substrate material. Estimations of the proposed method are consistent with those of the transmission/reflection method within uncertainties of two methods.
Cardiac Repolarization and Autonomic Regulation during Short-Term Cold Exposure in Hypertensive Men: An Experimental Study (2014)

Aluminum nitride as a new material for chip-scale optomechanics and nonlinear optics (2012)

Silicon photonics has offered a versatile platform for the recent development of integrated optomechanical circuits. However, silicon is limited to wavelengths above 1.1 μ m and does not allow device operation in the visible spectrum range where low-noise lasers are conveniently available. The narrow bandgap of silicon also makes silicon optomechanical devices susceptible to strong two-photon absorption and free carrier absorption, which often introduce strong thermal effects that limit the devices' stability and cooling performance. Further, silicon also does not provide the desired lowest order optical nonlinearity for interfacing with other active electrical components on a chip. On the other hand, aluminum nitride (AlN) is a wide-band semiconductor widely used in micromechanical resonators due to its low mechanical loss and high electromechanical coupling strength. In this paper, we report the development of AlN-on-silicon platform for low loss, wide-band optical guiding, as well as its use for achieving simultaneously high-optical-quality-factor and high-mechanical-quality-factor optomechanical devices. Exploiting AlN's inherent second-order nonlinearity we further demonstrate electro-optic modulation and efficient second harmonic generation in AlN photonic circuits. Our results suggest that low-cost AlN-on-silicon photonic circuits are excellent substitutes for complementary metal-oxide–semiconductor-compatible photonic circuits for building new functional optomechanical devices that are free from carrier effects.
Ultrafiltration of molecules through deposited protein layers. (1975)

A naturally deposited protein layer is shown to be highly compressible as witnessed by its resistance to the passage of both water and dissolved molecules. This protein layer can easily be much more important than the underlying membrane. Hydrodynamic methods can be employed to control this protein layer, even to the extreme of its extinction in a continuous flow system. The rejection properties are shown to be a function of both the tracer molecular weight and type. Some of the physical property variations are reviewed for plasma amd serum as a function of protein concentration.
The Use of Alendronate in Osteoporosis Treatment: 10-Year Experience (2006)

In considering the many factors which influence bone remodeling, it is inevitable that most discussions will concentrate on the influence of estrogen, and the recent developments in nonhormonal therapies such as bisphosphonates and strontium-containing products. However, the hormonal influence on bone is not limited to estrogens alone. Other steroids such as androgens and corticosteroids are important, as well as hormones such as growth hormone, thyroid hormones, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D1. In addition, there is an increasing body of evidence that progesterone and progestogens can influence bone metabolism.
The enzymatic basis of the selective action of cyclophosphamide. (1975)

The initial metabolic products of cyclophosphamide (4-hydroxy-cyclophosphamide and aldophosphamide) were prepared biologically in unpurified form. Their toxicity to tumor cells were tested by bioassay techniques and in cell culture, and the deactivation abilities of various tissue-soluble fractions were quantitated. Liver and kidney cytosol effectively deactivated the primary metabolites, whereas cytosols from gastrointestinal tract mucosa, Walker ascites tumor, and spleen were less efficient. When [14C]cyclophosphamide was activated and incubated with liver cytosol, 34% of all radioactivity was identified as carboxyphosphamide, by mass spectrometry of the methyl ester. Measurement of alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) activities by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide production revealed a qualitative correspondence between aldehyde dehydrogenase activity and deactivation ability. Unpurified aldophosphamide and the analogs prepared from 6-methyl- and 5,5-dimethylcyclophosphamides were substrates for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-requiring enzymes, whereas incubation of 4-hydroxy-4-methylcyclophosphamide in an unfractionated incubation mixture with liver soluble enzymes did not cause reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide production.
Predicting Preference Flips in Commerce Search (2012)

Traditional approaches to ranking in web search follow the paradigm of rank-by-score: a learned function gives each query-URL combination an absolute score and URLs are ranked according to this score. This paradigm ensures that if the score of one URL is better than another then one will always be ranked higher than the other. Scoring contradicts prior work in behavioral economics that showed that users' preferences between two items depend not only on the items but also on the presented alternatives. Thus, for the same query, users' preference between items A and B depends on the presence/absence of item C. We propose a new model of ranking, the Random Shopper Model, that allows and explains such behavior. In this model, each feature is viewed as a Markov chain over the items to be ranked, and the goal is to find a weighting of the features that best reflects their importance. We show that our model can be learned under the empirical risk minimization framework, and give an efficient learning algorithm. Experiments on commerce search logs demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms scoring-based approaches including regression and listwise ranking.
HOW UNIVERSAL ARE FOLD RECOGNITION PARAMETERS: A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF ALIGNMENT AND SCORING FUNCTION PARAMETERS INFLUENCE ON RECOGNITION OF DISTANT FOLDS (1999)

A choice of sequence-structure similarity scoring function parameters can significantly alter results of the performance of the recognition of distantly related folds. It therefore constitutes a critical part of fold recognition process. In order to increase an understanding of the influence of parameter choice, a comprehensive benchmark of very hard (SFOLD) and medium hard (SFAM) fold recognition examples has been derived from the SCOP database of protein structure families. These benchmarks have subsequently been used to optimize, validate and analyze dependence of recognition sensitivity on alignment and fold similarity score parameters for different scoring functions. Significant variation of the common parameters has been observed for different functions, leading to the conclusion that optimal parameter sets are not universal. The scope of solutions common to any pair of scoring function is relatively small, hence, using jury method for fold prediction seems not appropriate. Also, using a redundant version of fold libraries significantly increases odds of identification of distantly related fold.
The multidisciplinary approach to orthodontic–surgical protocols in theMaxillofacial Department of Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (2016)

The creation of a multidisciplinary consultation in the maxillofacial service of the Pitié-Salpêtrière – Charles-Foix hospital, improved the efficiency of patient care. They don’t only see a maxillofacial surgeon and an orthondontist, they also have a follow up by an psychologist, a physiologist and a nutritionist. Preoperating day is the focal point of the patient care: it’s the link between the preoperative time and the operative time.
Recent laser-plasma interaction studies at LLNL (1999)

Recent analysis and modeling of Nova experiments which address our understanding of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) will be presented. Forward and backward SBS levels have been investigated with SSD of varying bandwidth and with polarization smoothing using an f/8 focusing geometry to emulate NIF conditions. The interpretation of the experiments is aided using F3D, a fluid code which includes modeling of SBS and SRS; a parallel version of F3D is being developed which will allow the modeling of a plasma approaching the size of an entire NIF laser beam. Cryogenic targets have recently been employed to investigate the dependence of SRS saturation levels on ion wave damping via the Langmuir decay instability.
Tagless Two-level Branch Prediction Schemes (2000)

Per-address two-level branch predictors have been shown to be among the best predictors and have been implemented in current microprocessors. However, as the cycle time of modern microprocessors continue to decrease, the implementation of set-associative per-address twolevel branch predictors will become more difficult. In this paper, we revisit and analyze an alternative tagless, direct-mapped approach which is simpler, requires lower power, and has faster access time. The tagless predictor can also offer comparable performance to current setassociative designs since removal of tags allows more resources to be allocated for the predictor and branch target buffer (BTB). Further, removal of tags allows decoupling of the per-address predictors from the BTB, allowing the two components to be optimized individually. We show that tagless predictors are better than tagged predictors because of opportunities for better misshandling. Finally, we examine the system cost-benefit for tagless per...
