In-Situ Characterization of Potential-Induced Degradation in Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules Through Dark I–V Measurements (2016)

A temperature correction methodology for in-situ darkI-V(DIV) characterization of conventional p-type crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules undergoing potential-induced degradation (PID) is proposed. We observe that the DIV-derived module power temperature coefficient (γ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> ) varies as a function of the extent of PID. To investigate the relationship between γ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> and DIV-derived module power (P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> ), measured in situ and at the stress temperature) two parameters are defined: change in the DIV-derived module temperature coefficient (Δγ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> ) and DIV-derived module power degradation at the PID stress temperature (ΔP <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> )). It is determined that there is a linear relationship between Δγ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> and ΔP <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> ). Based on this finding, we can easily determine the module γdark at various stages of PID by monitoring P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> ) in situ. We then further develop a mathematical model to translate P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">dark</sub> (T <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> ) to that at 25 °C (Pdark (25 °C)), which is correlated with the module power measured at the standard testing conditions (PST C). Our experiments demonstrate that, for various degrees of PID, the temperature correction methodology offers a relative accuracy of ±3% for predicting PST C. Furthermore, it reduces the root-mean-square error (RMSE) by around 70%, compared with the PSTC estimation without the temperature correction.
Eval all, trust a few, do wrong to none: Comparing sentence generation models (2018)

In this paper, we study recent neural generative models for text generation related to variational autoencoders. Previous works have employed various techniques to control the prior distribution of the latent codes in these models, which is important for sampling performance, but little attention has been paid to reconstruction error. In our study, we follow a rigorous evaluation protocol using a large set of previously used and novel automatic and human evaluation metrics, applied to both generated samples and reconstructions. We hope that it will become the new evaluation standard when comparing neural generative models for text.
NIMG-45REAL-TIME PET IMAGING DEMONSTRATES TUMOR ACCUMULATION AND OXYGENATION BY OMX-4.80P, AN OXYGEN CARRIER ENGINEERED FOR THE TREATMENT OF GLIOBLASTOMA (2015)

BACKGROUND: Hypoxia is a hallmark of glioblastoma (GB) and is correlated with tumor progression and decreased overall survival. OMX-4.80P is a protein oxygen carrier engineered for the treatment of GB in combination with radiotherapy. Prior studies in rodent GB models demonstrated that OMX-4.80P accumulates within intracranial tumors and reduces tumor hypoxia—as assessed by immunohistochemical and ELISA methods—and enhances tumor killing by radiotherapy. To support clinical evaluation of OMX-4.80P in patients, this report describes non-invasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to assess both OMX-4.80P tumor accumulation and oxygen delivery. METHODS: To assess its biodistribution, OMX-4.80P was labelled with 89Zr using a desferrioxamine (DFO) chelator. Either 89Zr-DFO-OMX-4.80P or free 89Zr was administered intravenously to both nude mice bearing H460 subcutaneous xenografts, as well as to Fischer rats bearing intracranial F98 tumors. OMX-4.80P distribution was assessed by PET, and by measuring radioactivity in major organs using a gamma counter. To assess OMX-4.80P-mediated changes in tumor hypoxia in the same tumor models, tumor:brain signal ratio of the hypoxia marker fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO) was assessed before and after treatment with OMX-4.80P by performing scans on two consecutive days. RESULTS: While free 89Zr was present mainly in the bones, 89Zr-DFO-OMX-4.80P was not, suggesting that the label is stable in vivo. As expected, 89Zr-DFO-OMX-4.80P accumulated in both subcutaneous and intracranial tumors, and in the clearance organs (liver, kidneys, spleen). Furthermore, 18F-FMISO levels, as measured by tumor:brain ratios, were decreased by >2 fold after either intravenous or intratumoral injection of OMX-4.80P, in both subcutaneous and intracranial tumors demonstrating OMX-4.80P-mediated tumor oxygenation activity. CONCLUSIONS: PET-based approaches are a feasible method for assessing OMX-4.80P distribution and oxygenation. These methods will be developed as biomarkers of OMX-4.80P activity in a planned Phase 1 clinical trial in newly diagnosed GB patients.

Plasma etching of Hf-based high-k thin films. Part III. Modeling the reaction mechanisms (2009)

A generalized etch rate model was formulated to describe metal oxide etching in complex plasma chemistries, based on the understanding gained from detailed plasma characterization and experimental investigation into the metal oxide etching mechanisms. Using a surface site balance-based approach, the correct etch rate dependencies on neutral-to-ion flux ratio, ion energy, competing deposition and etching reaction pathways, and film properties were successfully incorporated into the model. The applicability of the model was assessed by fitting to experimental etch rate data in both Cl2 and BCl3 chemistries. Plasma gas phase analysis as well as etch and deposition rate measurements were used to calculate initial values and appropriate ranges for model parameter variation. Physically meaningful parameter values were extracted from the modeling fitting to the experimental data, thereby demonstrating the applicability of this model in assessing the plasma etching of other complex materials systems.
2-[(Aminopropyl)amino] Ethanethiol-Mediated Reductions in 60 Co g-Ray and Fission-Spectrum Neutron-Induced Chromosome Damage in V79 Cells (1988)

The radioprotector 2-[aminopropyl)amino] ethanethiol (WR1065), which has been reported to reduce the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of low LET radiation, was investigated for its ability to protect against low LET (60Co gamma ray) and high LET (fission-spectrum neutron)-induced chromosome damage in V79 cells. Cells were irradiated in G2 phase in the presence or absence of 4 mM WR1065 and were harvested and analyzed 2 h later for chromatid-type aberrations. Irradiation of G2-phase V79 cells in the presence of WR1065 resulted in a 30 to 50% reduction in the frequency of gamma-ray and neutron-induced chromatid-type breaks and exchanges. The effects were found only after exposures of greater than 200 cGy gamma-ray or 50 cGy neutron irradiation. The radioprotector was effective at reducing neutron-induced aberrations after exposures at dose rates of both 10 and 43 cGy/min. Thus the radioprotector WR1065 is an effective anti-clastogenic agent in V79 cells, protecting against both 60Co gamma-ray and fission-spectrum neutron-induced aberrations, when present during irradiation.
Performance extrapolation that uses industry benchmarks with performance models (2010)

Predicting application performance for any hardware change is challenging as multiple factors like environment, application architecture, workload etc also need to be considered. Industry benchmarks that provide means to compare hardware performance however lack in giving insight into the applications' service levels. LQN models help in performance analysis of multi-tiered, distributed applications; but lack in predicting impact of vertical scaling. So to predict an application's performance for hardware changes, a hybrid methodology of these two approaches can be used as described here. The approach is illustrated and its results are validated for a standard J2EE application in this paper.
Intrapartum fetal head position I: comparison between transvaginal digital examination and transabdominal ultrasound assessment during the active stage of labor (2002)

Using ultrasound assessment as the gold standard, our data demonstrate a high rate of error (65%) in transvaginal digital determination of fetal head position during the second stage of labor. The performance of senior residents in transvaginal digital examinations did not differ significantly from that of attending physicians. Intrapartum ultrasound increases the accuracy of fetal head position assessment during the second stage of labor.
Glycoconjugate Vaccine Containing Escherichia coli O157:H7 O-Antigen Linked with Maltose-Binding Protein Elicits Humoral and Cellular Responses (2014)

Glycoconjugate is one of the most efficacious and safest vaccines against bacterial pathogens. Previous studies of glycoconjugates against pathogen E. coli O157:H7 focused more on the humoral responses they elicited. However, little was known about their cellular responses. In this study, we exploited a novel approach based on bacterial protein N-linked glycosylation system to produce glycoconjugate containing Escherichia coli O157:H7 O-antigen linked with maltose-binding protein and examined its humoral and cellular responses in BALB/c mice. The transfer of E. coli O157:H7 O-antigen to MBP was confirmed by western blot and MALDI-TOF MS. Mice injected with glycoconjugate O-Ag-MBP elicited serum bactericidal antibodies including anti-E. coli O157:H7 O-antigen IgG and IgM. Interestingly, O-Ag-MBP also stimulated the secretion of anti-E. coli O157:H7 O-antigen IgA in intestine. In addition, O-Ag-MBP stimulated cellular responses by recruiting Th1-biased CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells. Meanwhile, O-Ag-MBP induced the upregulation of Th1-related IFN-γ and downregulation of Th2-related IL-4, and the upregulation of IFN-γ was stimulated by MBP in a dose-dependent manner. MBP showed TLR4 agonist-like properties to activate Th1 cells as carrier protein of O-Ag-MBP. Thus, glycoconjugate vaccine E. coli O157:H7-specific O-Ag-MBP produced by bacterial protein N-linked glycosylation system was able to elicit both humoral and Th1-biased cellular responses.

Catalytic asymmetric approaches towards enantiomerically enriched diarylmethanols and diarylmethylamines (2006)

Enantiopure diarylmethanols and diarylmethylamines are important intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant products with antihistaminic, antiarrhythmic, diuretic, antidepressive, laxative, local-anesthetic and anticholinergic properties. Furthermore, they have been used as precursors for 1,1-diarylalkyl moieties, which occur in other antidepressants as well as in antimuscarinics and endothelin antagonists. In this critical review catalytic strategies towards enantioenriched diarylmethanols and diarylmethylamines are discussed, including methods for asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formations by aryl transfer reactions to aldehydes and arylimines, respectively, and enantioselective reductions of diarylketones.
The effect of renal function on enalapril kinetics (1985)

Enalapril maleate (MK-421), a nonmercapto-containing angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is converted in vivo to enalaprilat (MK-422), the active diacid. We evaluated serum profiles and urinary excretion of oral enalapril maleate in patients with renal disease (group I, creatinine clearance less than 3 ml/min, patients undergoing dialysis, n = 10; group II, creatinine clearance 10 to 79 ml/min, n = 9) compared with healthy subjects (group III, creatinine clearance greater than 80 ml/min, n = 10). Group I received a 10 mg dose during a day while not receiving dialysis and a 10 mg dose 1 hour before dialysis 2 weeks later. Groups II and III received a single 10 mg dose. Blood samples and urine were collected for 48 hours. Impaired renal function resulted in elevated serum and plasma concentrations of enalapril maleate and decreased excretion rates and urinary recovery of enalapril maleate and enalaprilat. The data suggest an apparent increase in the extent of metabolism of enalapril maleate to enalaprilat or an increase in nonrenal elimination of unchanged enalapril maleate in renal disease compared with normal health. Enalaprilat was dialyzable.
Hypotension Reduces Sleep Apneas in Zucker Lean and Zucker Obese Rats (1996)

The effects of hypotension and obesity on spontaneous apnea (SA) and post-sigh sleep apnea (PSA) were studied in Zucker rats by monitoring blood pressure, respiration, and sleep state for 6 hours. Hypotension produced by intraperitoneal administration of hydralazine (2 mg/kg) was associated with reduced SA and PSA expression in nonrapid eye movement sleep in both lean and obese rats. In both animal groups, hypotension reduced rapid eye movement (REM) sleep by 50% but exerted no significant effect on REM-related expression of SA. Blood pressure lowering also correlated with increased respiratory rate and inspired minute ventilation during sleep, suggesting that the effects of hypotension on apnea expression may arrive via modulation of respiratory drive. These findings emphasize the interdependence of cardiorespiratory functions and may have implications regarding the mechanisms of central apnea in man.
Capacitive-Sensing Circuit Technique for Image Quality Improvement on Fingerprint Sensor LSIs (2010)

This paper describes a new capacitive-sensing circuit technique that improves the quality of images captured with capacitive fingerprint sensor LSIs. The quality of the captured image depends on the surface condition of the finger. When the finger is dry, the electrical resistance of the finger surface is high. The finger surface resistance induces a voltage drop in the electrical potential of the finger surface (which should be grounded), which leads to poor image quality. To capture clear images even when the finger is dry, the circuit technique improves the image quality using the series resistance caused at the finger surface. The potential of the finger surface is controlled by an enhancement plate and a voltage control circuit. A test chip implementing this technique was fabricated on a 0.5 ¿m CMOS process and a sensor process. The chip captures a clear fingerprint image of a dry finger, confirming the effectiveness of the circuit technique for capturing clear fingerprint images independent of the finger surface condition with the capacitive fingerprint sensor LSIs.
Transmission of low-energy electrons through SiO<sub>2</sub>tube (2009)

The transmission of low-energy (1100eV-1500eV) electrons through SiO2 tube was investigated, the distribution of transmitted beam current was observed. Results indicate that the intensity of transmitted electrons is proportional to the relative incident beam intensity and the angular divergence of the transmitted electrons is reduced when incident energy increased.
Iron(<scp>II</scp>) Complexes with Bio‐Inspired N,N,O Ligands as Oxidation Catalysts: Olefin Epoxidation and <i>cis</i>‐Dihydroxylation (2007)

The Rieske dioxygenases are a group of non-heme iron enzymes, which catalyze the stereospecific cis-dihydroxylation of its substrates. Herein, we report the iron(II) coordination chemistry of the ligands 3,3-bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)propionate (L1) and its neutral propyl ester analogue propyl 3,3-bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)propionate (PrL1). The molecular structures of two iron(II) complexes with PrL1 were determined and two different coordination modes of the ligand were observed. In [Fe(II)(PrL1)(2)](BPh(4))(2) (3) the ligand is facially coordinated to the metal with an N,N,O donor set, whereas in [Fe(II)(PrL1)(2)(MeOH)(2)](OTf)(2) (4) a bidentate N,N binding mode is found. In 4, the solvent molecules are in a cis arrangement with respect to each other. Complex 4 is a close structural mimic of the crystallographically characterized non-heme iron(II) enzyme apocarotenoid-15-15'-oxygenase (APO). The mechanistic features of APO are thought to be similar to those of the Rieske oxygenases, the original inspiration for this work. The non-heme iron complexes [Fe(II)(PrL1)(2)](OTf)(2) (2) and [Fe(II)(PrL1)(2)](BPh(4))(2) (3) were tested in olefin oxidation reactions with H(2)O(2) as the terminal oxidant. Whereas 2 was an active catalyst and both epoxide and cis-dihydroxylation products were observed, 3 showed negligible activity under the same conditions, illustrating the importance of the anion in the reaction.
Peaches, lemons, and cookies (2013)

This paper studies the role of information asymmetries in second price, common value auctions. Motivated by information structures that arise commonly in applications such as online advertising, we seek to understand what types of information asymmetries lead to substantial reductions in revenue for the auctioneer. One application of our results concerns online advertising auctions in the presence of "cookies," which allow individual advertisers to recognize advertising opportunities for users who, for example, are customers of their websites. Cookies create substantial information asymmetries both ex ante and at the interim stage, when advertisers form their beliefs. The paper proceeds by first introducing a new refinement of Nash equilibrium, which we call "tremble robust equilibrium" (TRE), which overcomes the problem of multiplicity of equilibria in many domains of interest. Second, we consider a special information structure, where only one bidder has access to superior information, and show that the seller's revenue in the unique TRE is equal to the expected value of the object conditional on the lowest possible signal, no matter how unlikely it is that this signal is realized. Thus, if cookies identify especially good users, revenue may not be affected much, but if cookies can (even occasionally) be used to identify very poor users, the revenue consequences are severe. In the third part of the paper, we study the case where multiple bidders may be informed, providing additional characterizations of the impact of information structure on revenue. Finally, we consider richer market designs that ensure greater revenue for the auctioneer, for example by auctioning the right to participate in the mechanism.
An assay for paracetamol, produced by the O-deethylation of phenacetinin vitro, using gas chromatography/electron capture negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry (1986)

A sensitive gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric assay for paracetamol, produced by the O-deethylation of phenacetin by microsomal fractions of human liver, has been developed. The method uses the 3,5-bistrifluoromethyl-benzoyl derivative of paracetamol and electron capture negative ion chemical ionization. This derivative has a negative ion mass spectrum which contains only a molecular ion at m/z 391 and, when this ion is specifically monitored, an amount of derivative equivalent to 1 pg of paracetamol can be detected. (2H3)Paracetamol was available for use as an internal standard and this allowed the development of an assay with a precision of 8% (SD) at 0.5 ng paracetamol per microsomal incubation and a lower limit of quantitative determination of 0.2 ng paracetamol per microsomal incubation.
Physical and mechanical properties of cast 17-4 PH stainless steel (1981)

The physical and mechanical properties of an overaged 17-4 PH stainless steel casting have been examined. The tensile and compressive properties of cast 17-4 PH are only influenced to a slight degree by changing test temperature and strain rate. However, both the Charpy impact energy and dynamic fracture toughness exhibit a tough-to-brittle transition with decreasing temperature - this transition being related to a change in fracture mode from ductile, dimple to cleavage-like. Finally, although the overaged 17-4 PH casting had a relatively low room temperature Charpy impact energy when compared to wrought 17-4 PH, its fracture toughness was at least comparable to that of wrought 17-4 PH. This observation suggests that prior correlations between Charpy impact energies and fracture toughness, as derived from wrought materials, must be approached with caution when applied to cast alloys.
Epilepsy after penetrating head injury. I. Clinical correlates (1985)

Of 421 veterans who had penetrating brain wounds in Vietnam 15 years ago, 53% had posttraumatic epilepsy, and one-half of those still had seizures 15 years after injury. The relative risk of developing epilepsy dropped from about 580 times higher than the general age-matched population in the first year to 25 times higher after 10 years. Patients with focal neurologic signs or large lesions had increased risk of epilepsy, and site of the lesion may have been more important than size in determining occurrence. Family history of epilepsy or preinjury intelligence had no effect on seizure occurrence. Seizure frequency in the first year predicted future severity of seizures. Phenytoin therapy in the first year after injury did not prevent later seizures.
[Preparation and seric form of rabbit C reactive protein]. (1979)

The preparation of rabbit C-reactive protein (CRP) involves a single step affinity chromatography. This preparation takes advantage of the calcium-dependent affinity of CRP for an agarose gel bearing 2-aminoethanol dihydrogen-phosphate as a ligand. A prior chromatography on agarose gel without the ligand allows the uptake of the serum amyloid P-component (SAP). The CRP prepared according to this method is able to form precipitating complexes in agarose with rabbit lipoproteins. The specificity of these interactions is studied. It is demonstrated that CRP-High Density Lipoproteins (HLD) association produces a second precipitation arc when the pure CRP is revealed by a specific antiserum in agarose. Moreover, CRP in the serum is shown to be in the bound form only, and the binding involves Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) exclusively.
Axial length growth and the risk of developing myopia in European children (2017)

This study provides normative values for AL that can be used to monitor eye growth in European children. These results can help clinicians detect excessive eye growth at an early age, thereby facilitating decision-making with respect to interventions for preventing and/or controlling myopia.
