Inter-System Handover Analysis in Integrated Terrestrial and GEO Satellite Communication Networks for Seamless Mobility (2007)

In this paper, we propose the handover decision method for inter-system handover between satellite communication system and terrestrial communication system. The characteristics of signal of satellite communication system are not different from those of terrestrial communication system. Therefore, we analyze the characteristics of satellite signal, and we design the handover decision method to reflect those characteristics. The performance of proposed method is validated through simulations. The proposed method decreases the unnecessary handovers more than that of existing handover method which considers only hysteresis margin.
Using Hexanal Vapor to Inhibit Activity of Penicillium expansum in Inoculated Whole Apple Fruit (1997)

Hexanal vapor is a natural, metabolizable fungicide that inhibits fungal activity and enhances the aroma biosynthesis in sliced apple fruit. Whole apple fruit were inoculated at two points per fruit with Penicillium expansum at a concentration of 0.5 × 10 5 spore/ml and treated with hexanal vapors. Inoculated fruit were exposed to hexanal for 48 hr and kept for another 72 hr in hexanal-free air at 22°C. Treatments included 8.2–12.3 μmol·L –1 (200–300 ppm), 14.5-18.6 μmol·L –1 (350–450 ppm), and 24.8-28.9 μmol·L –1 (600–700 ppm), each with an air control. At a concentration of 200–300 ppm hexanal, there was no fungal growth during treatment, but lesion development was evident on 100% of the treated fruit following cessation of treatment. After 72 hr holding in air, lesion diameter was significantly smaller for treated fruit. When inoculated apple fruit were exposed to 350–450 ppm and 600–700 ppm hexanal vapors, the decay rate was 44.7% and 23.9%, respectively, while the decay rate of inoculated control apple fruit was 100% and 98%, respectively, after 72 hr holding in air. The development of aroma volatiles was investigated for both treated and untreated whole apple fruit. Hexanal was actively converted to aroma volatiles by `Golden Delicious' fruit and there was no detectable hexanal emanations. The amount of hexylacetate, hexylbutanoate, hexylhexanoate, hexylpropionate, butylhexanoate, and hexyl-2-methybutanoate were about 2- to 4-fold higher in treated apple fruit than in untreated apple fruit. `Mutsu' apple fruit were treated with 350–450 ppm hexanal for 48 hr and processed into apple sauce within 4 hr. An informal sensory evaluation for processed `Mutsu' apple revealed no apparent flavor difference between treated and control fruit sauce.
Detection of Serum Deoxyribonucleic Acid Methylation Markers: A Novel Diagnostic Tool for Thyroid Cancer (2006)

We have demonstrated the potential usefulness of serum DNA methylation markers as a novel tool for differential diagnosis of solid thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer recurrence monitoring.
Selective Isolation of Acidophilic <i>Streptomyces</i> Strains for Glucose Isomerase Production (1984)

Approximately 260 Streptomyces strains were isolated from neutral pH farmland soil and evaluated for their ability to produce glucose isomerase. The number of acidophilic Streptomyces organisms growing at pH 4.0 was low, i.e., 10 organisms per g of soil. All of the isolates showed glucose isomerase activity when they were grown in a medium containing d-xylose, an inducer for glucose isomerase. More than half of the strains tested developed heavy growth in 24 h, and many produced high titers of glucose isomerase after 24 h of growth in a medium buffered at pH 5.0.
Blind identification of distributed antenna systems with multiple carrier frequency offsets (2007)

In spatially distributed multiuser antenna systems, the received signal contains multiple carrier-frequency offsets (CFOs) arising from mismatch between the oscillators of transmitters and receivers. This results in a time-varying rotation of the data constellation, which needs to be compensated at the receiver before symbol recovery. In this paper, a new approach for blind CFO estimation and symbol recovery is proposed. The received base-band signal is over-sampled, and its polyphase components are used to formulate a virtual Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) problem. By applying blind MIMO system estimation techniques, the system response can be estimated and decoupled versions of the user symbols can be recovered, each one of which contains a distinct CFO. By applying a decision feedback Phase Lock Loop (PLL), the CFO can be mitigated and the transmitted symbols can be recovered. The estimated MIMO system response provides information about the CFOs that can be used to initialize the PLL, speed up its convergence, and avoid ambiguities usually linked with PLL.
Compact All-Fiber Femtosecond-Pulse Amplification Circuit (1995)

The first all-fiber chirped pulse amplification circuit is demonstrated. In-fiber chirped Bragg gratings are used as stretchers and compressors for distortionless amplification of femtosecond pulses in a fiber amplifier. Using these gratings a compact all-fiber system consisting of a mode-locked fiber oscillator and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier was built. 330 fs bandwidth-limited pulses from a mode-locked fiber oscillator were stretched, amplified to 6 nJ and recompressed to 408 fs duration.
Sustainable low temperature desalination: A case for renewable energy (2011)

In this paper, different configurations for running a low temperature desalination process at a production capacity of 100 liters/day are presented. Renewable energy sources such as solar and geothermal energy sources are evaluated as renewable, reliable, and suitable energy sources for driving the low temperature desalination process round the clock. A case study is presented to evaluate the feasibility of sustainable recovery of potable water from the effluent streams of wastewater treatment plant. Results obtained from theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate that the low temperature desalination unit has the potential for large scale applications using renewable energy sources to produce freshwater in a sustainable manner. The following renewable energy/waste heat recovery configurations may produce around 100 liters/day of desalinated water: (1) solar collector area of 18 m2 with a thermal energy storage (TES) volume of 3 m3; (2) photovoltaic thermal collector area of 30 m2 to provide 14–18 kW electricity and 120 liters/day freshwater with an optimum mass flow rate of the circulating fluid around 40–50 kg/h m2; (3) A geothermal source at 60 °C with a flow rate of 320 kg/h; and (4) waste heat rejected from the condenser of an absorption refrigeration system rated at 3.25 kW (0.95 tons refrigeration), supported by 25 m2 solar collector area and 10 m3 TES volume. Additionally, the secondary effluent of local wastewater treatment plant was processed to recover potable quality water. Experimental results showed that &gt;95% of all the water contaminants such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, chlorides, nitrates, and coliform bacteria can be removed to provide clean water for many beneficial uses.
Highly Potent, Anthracycline-based Antibody–Drug Conjugates Generated by Enzymatic, Site-specific Conjugation (2017)

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are highly potent and specific antitumor drugs, combining the specific targeting of mAbs with the potency of small-molecule toxic payloads. ADCs generated by conventional chemical conjugation yield heterogeneous mixtures with variable pharmacokinetics, stability, safety, and efficacy profiles. To address these issues, numerous site-specific conjugation technologies are currently being developed allowing the manufacturing of homogeneous ADCs with predetermined drug-to-antibody ratios. Here, we used sortase-mediated antibody conjugation (SMAC) technology to generate homogeneous ADCs based on a derivative of the highly potent anthracycline toxin PNU-159682 and a noncleavable peptide linker, using the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab (part of Kadcyla) and the anti-CD30 antibody cAC10 (part of Adcetris). Characterization of the resulting ADCs <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> showed that they were highly stable and exhibited potencies exceeding those of ADCs based on conventional tubulin-targeting payloads, such as Kadcyla and Adcetris. The data presented here suggest that such novel and highly potent ADC formats may help to increase the number of targets available to ADC approaches, by reducing the threshold levels of target expression required. <i>Mol Cancer Ther; 16(5); 879-92. ©2017 AACR</i>.
Capacitive blood pressure transducer. (1980)

A capacitive transducer was developed to measure blood pressure using a catheter interfaced to the body. The transducer was made of fused quartz in order to achieve a low temperature coefficient and it consists of a circular body and a 1.25 mm thick sensing diaphragm that mates concentrically with the body. The body of the transducer has a 10 micron deep circular cavity, plasma etched into it. One of the electrodes of the sensing capacitor is vacuum deposited in the etched cavity and the other, which is an oversized electrode, is similarly deposited on the underside of the diaphragm. To obtain a stable reference capacitor, a ring electrode is also deposited in the cavity that forms a capacitor with the oversized electrode. The diaphragm and body are brazed together using a tin-gold alloy. A typical transducer has a full scale of 300 mm of Hg with an overpressure capacity of 3000 mm; a TC sensitivity of 0.015% of FS/degrees C; a thermal zero drift of 0.01% of FS/degrees C; linearity and hysteresis of 0.5% of FS; a volume displacement of 0.02 mm3/100 mm Hg. The pressure module is 29.3 mm in diameter and 7.6 mm high.
Antiviral Activities of Trichothecenes Isolated from <i>Trichoderma albolutescens</i> against <i>Pepper Mottle Virus</i> (2017)

A bioassay-guided isolation using a green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged pepper mottle virus (PepMoV-GFP) based leaf-disk method to obtain new antiviral agents led to the isolation of trichodermin, 1, and a new compound trichoderminol, 2, from EtOAc extract of Trichoderma albolutescens culture medium. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by MS and NMR experiments, and the absolute configurations of the compounds were established by experimental and calculated vibrational circular dichroism spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for their anti-PepMoV potential in systemic host plants, such as tobacco and pepper, by PepMoV-GFP based systemic host method. All compounds exhibited inactivation effects against PepMoV. Furthermore, compound 1 showed protective effects against PepMoV.
A novel resist system for enhanced resist spreading in nanoimprint lithography (2018)

Imprint lithography is a promising technology for replication of nano-scale features. For semiconductor device applications, Canon deposits a low viscosity resist on a field by field basis using jetting technology. A patterned mask is lowered into the resist fluid which then quickly flows into the relief patterns in the mask by capillary action. Following this filling step, the resist is crosslinked under UV radiation, and then the mask is removed, leaving a patterned resist on the substrate. There are two critical components to meeting throughput requirements for imprint lithography. The first component uses a similar approach to what is already done for many deposition and etch processes. Imprint stations can be clustered to enhance throughput. The FPA-1200NZ2C is a four station cluster system designed for high volume manufacturing. The second component is resist fill. For a single station, throughput includes overhead, resist dispense, resist fill time, exposure and separation. Resist exposure time and mask/wafer separation are well understood processing steps with typical durations on the order of 0.10 to 0.20 seconds. To achieve a total process throughput of 20 wafers per hour (wph) for a single station (or 80 wph for a four station NZ2C system), it is necessary to complete the fluid fill step in 1.1 seconds. There are several parameters that can impact resist filling. Key parameters include resist drop volume (smaller is better), system controls (which can impact spreading after jetting), Design for Imprint or DFI (to accelerate drop merging) and material engineering (to promote drop spreading after dispense). In addition, it is mandatory to maintain fast filling, even for edge field imprinting. In this paper, we address the improvements made in DFI and material engineering. By optimizing the drop pattern layout and introducing a two component resist system that enhances resist spreading, throughputs of 80 wafers per hour or more are achieved.
Transductive multi-label learning for video concept detection (2008)

Transductive video concept detection is an effective way to handle the lack of sufficient labeled videos. However, another issue, the multi-label interdependence, is not essentially addressed in the existing transductive methods. Most solutions only applied the transductive single-label approach to detect each individual concept separately, but ignoring the concept relation, or simply imposed the smoothness assumption over the multiple labels for each video, without indeed exploring the interdependence between the concepts. On the other hand, the semi-supervised extension of supervised multi-label classifiers, such as correlative multi-label support vector machines, is usually intractable and hence impractical due to the quite expensive computational cost. In this paper, we propose an effective transductive multi-label classification approach, which simultaneously models the labeling consistency between the visually similar videos and the multi-label interdependence for each video in an integrated framework. We compare the performance between the proposed approach and several representative transductive single-label and supervised multi-label classification approaches for the video concept detection task over the widely-used TRECVID data set. The comparative results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach.

Characteristics of Transplantable Tumors Induced in the Rat by N-2-Fluorenylacetamide: Elevations in Tissue and Serum Sialic Acid23 (1980)

The correlation between levels of sialic acid and sialic acid-containing glycolipids (gangliosides) in tumors and serum with the growth characteristics of the tumors was investigated in transplantable hepatomas and squamous cell carcinomas initiated with the carcinogen N-2-fluorenylacetamide and propagated in vivo and in tissue culture. Tumor lines varied in histologic classification, growth rate, and ability to form pulmonary metastases. There was neither a correlation between growth rate and histologic classification nor between either of these two parameters and the ability to metastasize. Total and ganglioside sialic acid levels were elevated in carcinogen-treated liver and in transplantable hepatomas when contrasted with normal liver. Levels of sialic acid showed a weak correlation with the growth rate of hepatomas. Gangliosides from nonmetastatic hepatoma lines exhibited less N-acetylneuraminic acid--galactose--glucose-N--acylsphingosine (GM3) and an increased ratio of total monosialogangliosides to disialogangliosides than did metastatic lines. Ganglioside patterns of metastatic hepatoma lines more closely resembled the ganglioside patterns of normal liver than did those of the nonmetastatic lines. Concomitant elevations of total and ganglioside sialic acid levels were observed in sera of animals bearing subcutaneous implants. Serum levels of total sialic acid did correlate with total sialic acid levels found in the tumor tissues. The levels of serum sialic acid were not correlated directly with levels of serum sialyltransferase activity. Elevations of both tissue and serum ganglioside sialic acid were consistent features of liver tumorigenesis in the rat after N-2-fluorenylacetamide administration. They appeared, furthermore, to be early events not directly related to tumor cell differentiation or metastasis.

TU‐CD‐304‐09: Feasibility Study for Thermoplastic Mask Set Up Monitoring Using Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) Sensor (2015)

Purpose: To improve the setup accuracy of thermoplastic mask, we developed a new monitoring method based on force sensing technology and evaluated its feasibility. Methods: The thermoplastic mask setup monitoring system consists of a force sensing resistor sensor unit, a signal transport device, a control PC and an in‐house software. The system is designed to monitor pressure variation between the mask and patient in real time. It also provides a warning to the user when there is a possibility of movement. A preliminary study was performed to evaluate the reliability of the sensor unit and developed monitoring system with a head phantom. Then, a simulation study with volunteers was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of the monitoring system. Note that the sensor unit can have multiple end‐sensors and every end‐sensor was confirmed to be within 2% reliability in pressure reading through a screening test. Results: To evaluate the reproducibility of the proposed monitoring system in practice, we simulated a mask setup with the head phantom. FRS sensors were attached on the face of the head phantom and pressure was monitored. For 3 repeated mask setups on the phantom, the variation of the pressure was less than 3% (only 1% larger than 2% potential uncertainty confirmed in the screening test). In the volunteer study, we intended to verify that the system could detect patient movements within the mask. Thus, volunteers were asked to turn their head or lift their chin. The system was able to detect movements effectively, confirming the clinical feasibility of the monitoring system developed. Conclusion: Through the proposed setup monitoring method, it is possible to monitor patient motion inside a mask in real time, which has never been possible with most commonly used systems using non‐radiographic technology such as infrared camera system and surface imaging system.

In TwitApp, tweets are organized by their project, and users can follow or unfollow each individual project. We introduce the concept of automatic tweet drafting and other novel features such as enhanced real-time search and integrated live video streaming. The TwitApp system leverages the existing Twitter micro-blogging system. We also contribute a study which provides insights on these concepts and associated designs, and demonstrates potential user excitement of such tools.
A 41-mW 30-Gb/s CMOS optical receiver with digitally-tunable cascaded equalization (2014)

This paper presents a 65-nm CMOS, 1-V, 1.37-pJ/bit optical receiver with embedded equalizer, enabling adaptability to overcome channel losses and component variations. The digitally-controlled continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) consists of three cascaded tunable peaking stages offering 16-dB of adjustable low-frequency gain. Optical measurement results with a 30-Gb/s photodetector (PD) show that the receiver achieves 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-12</sup> BER at 30 Gb/s for a 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">15</sup> -1 PRBS input with a -5.6-dBm input sensitivity. Using a lower bandwidth 14-Gb/s PD, the receiver can still reach 30 Gb/s at 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-12</sup> BER with only a 0.6-dB degradation in input sensitivity. These measurement results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed receiver and the programmable cascaded CTLE.
Bridging SMT and TM with Translation Recommendation (2010)

We propose a translation recommendation framework to integrate Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) output with Translation Memory (TM) systems. The framework recommends SMT outputs to a TM user when it predicts that SMT outputs are more suitable for post-editing than the hits provided by the TM. We describe an implementation of this framework using an SVM binary classifier. We exploit methods to fine-tune the classifier and investigate a variety of features of different types. We rely on automatic MT evaluation\nmetrics to approximate human judgements in our experiments. Experimental results show that our system can achieve 0.85 precision at 0.89 recall, excluding exact matches. futhermore, it is possible for the end-user to achieve a desired balance between precision and recall by adjusting\nconfidence levels.
Synthesis of superconducting Mg/MgB2 composites (2001)

Composites consisting of Mg and MgB2 phases were fabricated by liquid-metal infiltration following two routes. First, a preform of MgB2 powders was pressure infiltrated at 800 °C with liquid Mg, which was subsequently solidified. Second, a preform of B powders was pressure infiltrated with liquid Mg at 700 °C, resulting in partial, in situ formation of the MgB2 phase. Subsequent annealing at 950 °C increased the content of MgB2 through reaction between B and Mg. All composites exhibited a pore-free structure with no significant additional phases and were superconducting near 39 K.
