Negatively Biased Field Effect Transistor Used As a Microwave Detector (1989)

The majority of' today's microwave detectors are based on microwave diodes. The research presented in this thesis develops the theory of a new, more sensitive detector based on a negatively biased microwave FET. The theory construction of was then applied to the design and a FET microwave detector. The design resulted in a detector that has an average tangential signal sensitivity of -58.5dBm at the design frequency and a dynamic range of 41.5dB. Finally the FET detector was compared to a diode microwave detector under resistive loads of "formula". When under the same load conditions and at the designed and at the designed frequency of 8.6GHz the FET detector surpassed the FET diode detector in sensitivity by a minimum of 3.5dB. The dynamic range of the FET detector was 6.9dB less than for the diode detector. However the dynamic range was still large, 41.5 dB
A Green Hybrid Power Plant using Photovoltaic and Wind Energy with Power Quality Improvement in Qatar (2020)

Abstract 1 A Green Hybrid Power Plant using Photovoltaic and Wind Energy with Power Quality Improvement in Qatar Hassan Moghbelli, PhD, Texas A&M University, College Station, TeXas moghbelli@math.tamu.edu Hamid Toliyat, PhD, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Texas A&M University College Station, Texas Haitham Abu-Rub, PhD, Electrical Engineering Department, Texas A&M University P.O. Box 23874, Qatar Foundation, Doha, QatarABSTRACT A major challenge in using wind as a source of power is that wind isintermittent. Wind energy cannot be stored and not all winds can be harnessed to meet theelectricity demands. Therefore, this energy source should be used with other type of energysources to provide a continuous and reliable electrical energy source. In this paper, a solarpower plant with solar tracker is selected to hybridize with the wind energy source. Usingthe sun tracker will increase energy absorbed by the photovoltaic panels that will increasethe efficiency. A hybrid power plant using solar energy and wind power plant will bedesigned and the results will be used for implementation in a pilot plant which will advanceknowledge and education. The efficiency of the power plant can be improved by usingpower electronics and electric energy storage. The power conditioning unit combines theelectric energy from both solar power plant and wind power plant. The dc output energy ofthe hybrid power plant will be converted to ac and will be synchronized with the electricpower grid by the power conditioning unit. The ac output will be generated and controlled bythe power conditioning unit which has multiple benefits of both generation of electricity withhigh efficiency and improvement of electric power quality.

Hydrothermal formation of Clay-Carbonate alteration assemblages in the Nili Fossae region of Mars (2014)

The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) has returned observations of the Nili Fossae region indicating the presence of Mg- carbonate in small (&lt;10km sq2), relatively bright rock units that are commonly fractured (Ehlmann et al., 2008b). We have analyzed spectra from CRISM images and used co-located HiRISE images in order to further characterize these carbonate-bearing units. We applied absorption band mapping techniques to investigate a range of possible phyllosilicate and carbonate minerals that could be present in the Nili Fossae region. We also describe a clay-carbonate hydrothermal alteration mineral assemblage in the Archean Warrawoona Group of Western Australia that is a potential Earth analog to the Nili Fossae carbonate-bearing rock units. We discuss the geological and biological implications for hydrothermal processes on Noachian Mars.
Inhibition of long myosin light-chain kinase activation alleviates intestinal damage after binge ethanol exposure and burn injury (2012)

Laboratory evidence suggests that intestinal permeability is elevated following either binge ethanol exposure or burn injury alone, and this barrier dysfunction is further perturbed when these insults are combined. We and others have previously reported a rise in both systemic and local proinflammatory cytokine production in mice after the combined insult. Knowing that long myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK) is important for epithelial barrier maintenance and can be activated by proinflammatory cytokines, we examined whether inhibition of MLCK alleviated detrimental intestinal responses seen after ethanol exposure and burn injury. To accomplish this, mice were given vehicle or a single binge ethanol exposure followed by a sham or dorsal scald burn injury. Following injury, one group of mice received membrane permeant inhibitor of MLCK (PIK). At 6 and 24 h postinjury, bacterial translocation and intestinal levels of proinflammatory cytokines were measured, and changes in tight junction protein localization and total intestinal morphology were analyzed. Elevated morphological damage, ileal IL-1β and IL-6 levels, and bacterial translocation were seen in mice exposed to ethanol and burn injury relative to either insult alone. This increase was not seen in mice receiving PIK after injury. Ethanol-exposed and burn-injured mice had reduced zonula occludens protein-1 and occludin localization to the tight junction relative to sham-injured mice. However, the observed changes in junctional complexes were not seen in our PIK-treated mice following the combined insult. These data suggest that MLCK activity may promote morphological and inflammatory responses in the ileum following ethanol exposure and burn injury.
Polarization Effects in Holography (1971)

The polarization characteristics of phase holograms are obtained in various spatial frequencies. These characteristics are evaluated by measurements of the diffraction efficiencies for the reconstructing beam, whose electric vector is parallel and perpendicular to the plane containing the reference and object beams, respectively.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Kidney Protection (2019)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is determined by specific pathological structural and functional alterations of the kidneys in patients with diabetes, and its clinical manifestations are albuminuria and decline of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Apart from renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, no other drugs are currently available as therapy for diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are a new class of anti-hyperglycemic drugs which have been demonstrated to prevent the onset of macroalbuminuria and reduce the decline of GFR in diabetic patients. These drugs may exert their beneficial actions on the kidneys through blood glucose- and blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects, reduction of insulin levels and weight loss. Clinical benefits of GLP-1R agonists were acknowledged due to data from large randomized phase III clinical trials conducted to assess their cardiovascular(CV) safety. These drugs improved renal biomarkers in placebo-controlled clinical studies, with effects supposed to be independent of the actions on glycemic control. In this review, we will focus on the actions of GLP-1R agonists on glucose metabolism and kidney physiology, and evaluate direct and indirect mechanisms through which these drugs may confer renal protection.
Effect of Urban River Morphology on the Structure of Macroinvertebrate Communities in a Subtropical Urban River (2022)

Channelization is the most common hydraulic modification of urban rivers. Here, we assessed the effects of urban river morphology on benthic communities by analyzing the characteristics of benthic communities at various sites in channelized and natural rivers of the Longgang River system in southern China. We detected four Clitellata species, five Oligochaeta species, one Polychaeta species, 10 Gastropoda genera/species, two Bivalvia genera/species, two Crustacea genera/species, and 14 Insecta genera/species. Insecta and Oligochaeta were the dominant classes in the wet and dry seasons, and Chironomus plumosus was the most dominant species. The density of Clitellata was significantly lower in channelized rivers (0–0.74 ind/m2) than in natural rivers (0.61–4.85 ind/m2). The Shannon’s diversity index was significantly lower in channelized rivers (0.66–1.04) than in natural rivers (0.83–1.28) in the wet and dry season. NH3.N was positively correlated with Shannon’s diversity index, and chemical oxygen demand and river width were negatively correlated with Shannon’s diversity index. When the concentration of total phosphorus (TP) was low (&lt;3 mg/L), it was positively correlated with Shannon’s diversity index. Our findings indicate that river channel morphology affects benthic faunal structure and diversity, but the effects varied among seasons. Minimized channelization will prevent the loss of aquatic biodiversity in subtropical urban rivers, as will preservation of natural rivers.
Modeling photo composition and its application to photo re-arrangement (2012)

We introduce a learning based photo composition model and its application on photo re-arrangement. In contrast to previous approaches which evaluate quality of photo composition using the rule of thirds or the golden ratio, we train a normalized saliency map from visually pleasurable photos taken by professional photographers. We use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to analyze training data and build a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to describe the photo composition model. Our experimental results show that our approach is reliable and our trained photo composition model can be used to improve photo quality through photo re-arrangement.
Impact of climate change on grassland production and soil carbon worldwide (1995)

Abstract The impact of climate change and increasing atmospheric CO 2 was modelled for 31 temperate and tropical grassland sites, using the CENTURY model. Climate change increased net primary production, except in cold desert steppe regions, and CO 2 increased production everywhere. Climate change caused soil carbon to decrease overall, with a loss of 4 Pg from global grasslands after 50 years. Combined climate change and elevated CO 2 increased production and reduced global grassland C losses to 2 Pg, with tropical savannas becoming small sinks for soil C. Detection of statistically significant change in plant production would require a 16% change in measured plant production because of high year to year variability in plant production. Most of the predicted changes in plant production are less than 10%.
Outcomes of Revision Ankle Arthroplasty using a Fixed-bearing, Stemmed Intramedullary Prosthesis (2017)

Category: Ankle, Ankle Arthritis Introduction/Purpose: As in all total joint arthroplasty, longevity is finite, and the need for predictable revision surgery is mandatory. Literature is sparse describing revision total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) feasibility and outcomes. Revision total ankle arthroplasty involving implant exchange remains in its infancy, making critical assessment of outcomes necessary to guide future treatment options. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes of revision TAA using a minimum 2-year follow-up to evaluate for early failure and outcomes. Methods: Retrospective chart review identified 18 patients that underwent revision of their TAA to a third generation FDA approved fixed-bearing, intramedullary stemmed implant with a minimum 2 year follow up. Once identified, all patients were contacted for an in-office outcomes questionnaire, examination, and radiographic follow up. Outcomes included the Foot &amp; Ankle Disability Index (FADI) Score, Foot Function Index (FFI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) used for pain, and ankle range of motion. Results: The mean age of patients at the time of revision was 59.6±9.7years and the mean follow up was 4.2±2.1 years. The mean FADI score was 69.9±17.9, the mean FFI was 49.1±15.2, and the mean VAS score was 33.3±25.8. Mean ankle dorsiflexion was 19.6±7.8 degrees and mean ankle plantar flexion was 18.6±7.5degrees. Postoperative complications included one infection requiring irrigation and debridement with hardware removal for a medial ankle soft tissue abscess, and one medial malleolus fracture that underwent open reduction and internal fixation. Three revision prostheses failed during the follow-up period, requiring additional surgery. Reasons for failure included talar subsidence in 2 patients secondary to osteolysis and/or avascular changes to the talus, and medial/lateral gutter impingement due to an oversized talar component in 1 patient. Conclusion: Revision of ankle arthroplasty requires significant planning in extraction of the failed prosthesis, implantation of the revision prosthesis, and alignment of the foot. Major complications are potentially avoidable through careful bone assessment prior to revision surgery, and results are acceptable in this early follow-up study using a fixed-bearing intramedullary stemmed implant system.
Functional Significance of Asn-linked Glycosylation of Proteinase 3 for Enzymatic Activity, Processing, Targeting, and Recognition by Anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (2006)

Proteinase 3 (PR3) is a neutral serine protease stored in neutrophil granules. It has substantial sequence homology with elastase, cathepsin G and azurocidin. PR3 is the target antigen for autoantibodies (ANCA) in Wegener's granulomatosis, a necrotizing vasculitis syndrome. ANCA have been implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease. PR3 has two potential Asn-linked glycosylation sites. This study was designed to determine the occupancy of these glycosylation sites, and to evaluate their effect on enzymatic function, intracellular processing, targeting to granules and recognition by ANCA. We found that glycosylation occurs at both sites in native neutrophil PR3 and in wild type recombinant PR3 (rPR3) expressed in HMC-1 cells. Using glycosylation deficient rPR3 mutants we found that glycosylation at Asn-147, but not at Asn-102, is critical for thermal stability, and for optimal hydrolytic activity of PR3. Efficient amino-terminal proteolytic processing of rPR3 is dependent on glycosylation at Asn-102. Targeting to granules is not dependent on glycosylation, but unglycosylated rPR3 gets secreted preferentially into media supernatants. Finally, a capture ELISA for ANCA detection, using rPR3 glycosylation variants as target antigens, reveals that in about 20% of patients, epitope recognition by ANCA is affected by the glycosylation status of PR3.

Creating value in oversupplied markets: The case of Charlottesville, Virginia, hotels (1993)

The hotel industry remains haunted by the room supply resulting from the 1980s building boom. Demand has recovered somewhat from the 1991 recession, but not enough to absorb the supply overhang. This mature industry, mired in overcapacity, is characterized by high exit barriers, low entry barriers, and numerous, diverse competitors. As a result the past four years have been a period of wholesale destruction of value, with many hotels selling at distressed prices. However, even under such adverse conditions, a few well-positioned players managed to achieve competitive advantage and create value. The Charlottesville, Virginia, market offers a microcosm of those conditions. Dissecting that market with an analysis of strategies shows that a differentiation strategy with careful cost containment was successful in creating value. In particular, limited-service entrants were able to sustain their competitive advantage. On the other hand, a differentiation strategy that depended on premium pricing failed to create value for three different properties. Finally, the analysis makes clear that although overhanging debt damaged value, even debt-free properties were not able to create value absent a differentiating strategy.
Removing VOCs by Membrane Stripping (1989)

This article describes the results of a pilot study conducted to compare the performance of a membrane air‐stripping system with that of packed‐tower aeration for removing volatile organic chemicals from drinking water. It was found that the mass transfer coefficients for the membrane system were generally more than an order of magnitude greater than those for the packed‐tower system. In particular, lower volatility compounds such as bromoform were very efficiently removed by the membrane. The data obtained for the membrane system were also compared with a predictive model developed from chemical engineering literature and verified in the laboratory.
Novel linear tubular brushless permanent magnet motor (1997)

There is an increasing requirement for controlled linear motion over short and long strokes, in the factory automation and packaging industries, for example. Linear brushless PM motors could offer significant advantages over conventional actuation technologies, such as motor driven cams and linkages and pneumatic/hydraulic rams-in terms of efficiency, operating bandwidth, speed and thrust control, stroke and positional accuracy, and indeed over other linear motor technologies, such as induction and switched reluctance motors. A novel form of linear tubular brushless permanent magnet motor has been developed. The paper describes the principle of operation, alternative topologies of the motor, and potential applications; discusses the main design considerations, such as the back-EMF waveform and the cogging force; and compares finite element predictions and measurements.
Resist contrast enhancement in high resolution electron beam lithography (1989)

While lithography tooling continues to advance to achieve the resolution and overlay requirements of most advanced devices, resist science, and technology proceed with material advancements and process enhancements to ultimately achieve the sensitivity and contrast required. In this paper, we report approaches of modifying a single layer resist system to achieve the characteristics of a bilayer resist system without the complexity of a multilayer process.The top surface of the single layer resist is made less sensitive to electron beam exposure and development effects. One of the methods used consists of desensitizing the top surface of a positive resist which operates on the chemical amplification principle, prior to exposure. The desensitization step is achieved by controlling the post-apply bake condition during resist film preparation. Proper bake control of this resist provides the exposed regions with an initial dissolution rate which is three times slower than that in the resist bulk. This surface modification process forms a thin layer of augmented resist that is less sensitive to beam interaction. Linewidth control is enhanced by delayed lateral erosion of the resist patterns. Very high resolution images are delineated using one development step which eliminates the complexity of a multilayer resist process. While scattering effects through the resist bulk are essentially unchanged, the beam resist interaction on the top surface is greatly altered. The slow dissolution rate in the top surface relative to the resist bulk results in a higher resist contrast and a more controllable process. Moreover, this technique provices a system with very little resist bias and leads to significant advantages as dimensions shrink. These contrast enhancement techniques and possible mechanisms for the relatively slow dissolution of the resist surface are related to image edge acuity. Using these techniques on single layer resist systems, subquarter micron dimensions have been obtained with good linewidth control which is much enhanced and less complex as compared to the multilayer resist processes.
