Inkjet-printed iontronics for human-machine interface applications (2021)

This PhD study aims at developing soft human-machine interfaces (HMIs) based on the emerging iontronic technology. It involves the preparation of new materials, the development of advanced manufacturing protocols, and the fabrication of iontronic devises with unprecedented modalities. Next generation HMIs are expected to be lightweight and intrinsically soft for better human-machine or machine-environment interaction. The realization of these novel characteristics depends on the availability of soft materials, typically soft conductors. In contrast with the strategies depending on stretchable electronic conductors, the usage of gel-like ionic conductors represents an entirely different approach which has intrigued intense research interests in recent years. To promote this field, ionic conductors need to be patterned into desired shapes to serve as functional electrodes. After exploring various manufacturing techniques, inkjet printing is chosen for this study as it can provide micrometer-scale patterning resolution, and the direct ink writing (DIW) method eliminates the usage of any mold or mask which may potentially contaminate or destruct the already printed ionic gels on the elastomeric substrate. Interactive HMIs are bidirectional systems containing both receptive and responsive modules. Applications including capacitive touch sensing, electrostatic actuation, and electrostatic adhesion are of our interests in this thesis. We start with the receptive part and fabricate an iontronic touch sensing matrix which is transparent, stretchable, and strain-insensitive. Responsive iontronic interface is then demonstrated by a seamless integration of iontronic actuator and adhesive patch. Iontronic adhesion represents a novel mechanism wherein the rapid relaxation of spatial charges at the electronic/ionic interface is exploited to modulate electromechanical transduction in a responsive iontronic device.
Synthesis and properties of benzo[<i>b</i>]‐1,10‐phenanthrolines and their ruthenium(II) complexes (2007)

Abstract Friedländer reactions of 4‐aminoacridine‐3‐carbaldehyde with 1,3‐, 1,4‐di‐, and 1,3,5‐triacetylbenzenes afforded a series of corresponding (benzo[b]‐1,10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐yl)benzenes as new N,N,C‐polydentates. Reaction with 1,2‐diacetylbenzene afforded 1,2‐di(benzo[b]‐1,10‐phenanthrol‐2‐yl)benzene with unexpected benzo[b]‐1,10‐phenanthroline and 3‐oxoindeno[1,2‐b]benzo[j]‐1,10‐phenanthroline in a ratio of 1:1.2:1. Metal complex formation of the ligands was examined to provide two isomeric Ru complexes, a pentaaza‐coordinated (N5Cl) complex [Ru(tpy)( 3aH )Cl](PF 6 ) and a hexacoordinated (N5C) complex [Ru(tpy)( 3a )](PF 6 ) in a ratio of 1:4 with 71% overall yield, whereas 3b‐eH afforded complex mixtures upon reactions with Ru(tpy)Cl 3 . © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An Interactive Mixed Reality Ray Tracing Rendering Mobile Application of Medical Data in Minimally Invasive Surgeries (2019)

Visualization of patient’s anatomy is the most important pre-operation process in surgeries, minimally invasive surgeries are among these types of medical operations that counts totally on medical visualization before operating on a patient. However, medicine has a problem in visualizing patients’ through looking through multiple slices of scans, trying to understand the three-dimensional (3D) anatomical structure of patients. With Mixed Reality (MR) the developments in medicine visualization will become much easier and creates a better environment for surgeries. This will help reduce the excessive effort and time spent by surgeons to locate where the problem lies with patients without looking through multiple of two-dimensional (2D) slices, but to see patients’ bodies in 3D in front of them augmented in their reality, and to interact with it whatever pleases them. Moreover, this will reduce the number of scans that doctors will ask their patient’s for, which will result in less harmful x-ray dosages for both the patient and the radiologist. Biomedical development in medical visualization is an active research topic as it provides the physicians with required devices for clinically feasible way for diagnosis, follow-up and take decisions in different disease life line. Current clinical imaging facility can provide a 3D imaging that can be used to guide different interventional procedures. The main challenge is how to map the information presented in the digital image with the real object. This is commonly implemented by mental processing that requires skills from the medical doctor. This paper contributes to this problem by providing a mixed reality system to merge the digital image of the patient anatomy with the patient visual image. Anatomical image obtained from Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is mapped over the patient body using virtual reality (VR) head-mounted device (HMD).

Cell Cycle-Dependent Protein Fingerprint from a Single Cancer Cell:  Image Cytometry Coupled with Single-Cell Capillary Sieving Electrophoresis (2003)

Study of cell cycle-dependent protein expression is important in oncology, stem cell research, and developmental biology. In this paper, we report the first protein fingerprint from a single cell with known phase in the cell cycle. To determine that phase, we treated HT-29 colon cancer cells with Hoescht 33342, a vital nuclear stain. A microscope was used to measure the fluorescence intensity from one treated cell; in this form of image cytometry, the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the cell's DNA content, which varies in a predictable fashion during the cell cycle. To generate the protein fingerprint, the cell was aspirated into the separation capillary and lysed. Proteins were fluorescently labeled with 3-(2-furoylquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde, separated by capillary sieving electrophoresis, and detected by laser-induced fluorescence. This form of electrophoresis is the capillary version of SDS-PAGE. The single-cell electropherogram partially resolved approximately 25 components in a 30-min separation, and the dynamic range of the detector exceeded 5000. There was a large cell-to-cell variation in protein expression, averaging 40% relative standard deviation across the electropherogram. The dominant source of variation was the phase of the cell in the cell cycle; on average, approximately 60% of the cell-to-cell variance in protein expression was associated with the cell cycle. Cells in the G1 and G2/M phases of the cell cycle had 27 and 21% relative standard deviations in protein expression, respectively. Cells in the G2/M phase generated signals that were twice the amplitude of the signals generated by G1 phase cells, as expected for cells that are soon to divide into two daughter cells. When electropherograms were normalized to total protein content, the expression of only one component was dependent on cell cycle at the 99% confidence limit. That protein is tentatively identified as cytokeratin 18 in a companion paper.
Real time mailbox alert system via SMS or email (2007)

Upon receiving new mails or letters in their mailbox, most users do not get notified of this fact. They have to speculatively and periodically check their mailbox contents. In most events, the users are neglectful on checking their mailbox. This at times may lead towards the ignorance of important letters and results in various miseries. Most of the multi story buildings such as apartments, condominiums, office buildings etc limit the users on limited visits to check or collect their letters due to the centralize mailbox location. Users find convenient to be on alert of mails they receive to overwrite the conventional method of checking mailbox. Because of the high confidentiality and official letters are increasing as a corresponding tool globally, the users seek for a better solution which enables them to be on their toes each time a mail is delivered. The state of the art electronics technology is incorporated into these conventional mailboxes as a solution. The programmable logic controller, interface module and the GSM modem can be incorporated by linking the userpsilas mailbox with short messaging system or email facilities and this enables the users to be notified whenever a new mail is delivered. Mails delivered into the users mailbox, the system will automatically generate an alert which is send in the form of a short message system or email that typically details the real time of mail delivery. The system is designed to easy human life by sending short messaging system or email to notify the users about important new mails reaching their mailbox. This is likely to be a fast growing and popular application for short messaging system and email towards the mankind.
New Approach to Look-Up-Table Design and Memory-Based Realization of FIR Digital Filter (2009)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Distributed arithmetic (DA)-based computation is popular for its potential for efficient memory-based implementation of finite impulse response (FIR) filter where the filter outputs are computed as inner-product of input-sample vectors and filter-coefficient vector. In this paper, however, we show that the look-up-table (LUT)-multiplier-based approach, where the memory elements store all the possible values of products of the filter coefficients could be an area-efficient alternative to DA-based design of FIR filter with the same throughput of implementation. By operand and inner-product decompositions, respectively, we have designed the conventional LUT-multiplier-based and DA-based structures for FIR filter of equivalent throughput, where the LUT-multiplier-based design involves nearly the same memory and the same number of adders, and less number of input register at the cost of slightly higher adder-widths than the other. Moreover, we present two new approaches to LUT-based multiplication, which could be used to reduce the memory size to half of the conventional LUT-based multiplication. Besides, we present a modified transposed form FIR filter, where a single segmented memory-core with only one pair of decoders are used to minimize the combinational area. The proposed LUT-based FIR filter is found to involve nearly half the memory-space and <formula formulatype="inline"> <tex Notation="TeX">$(1/N)$</tex></formula> times the complexity of decoders and input-registers, at the cost of marginal increase in the width of the adders, and additional <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$\sim(4N\times W)$</tex></formula> AND-OR-INVERT gates and <formula formulatype="inline"> <tex Notation="TeX">$\sim(2N\times W)$</tex></formula> NOR gates. We have synthesized the DA-based design and LUT-multiplier based design of 16-tap FIR filters by Synopsys Design Compiler using TSMC 90 nm library, and find that the proposed LUT-multiplier-based design involves nearly 15% less area than the DA-based design for the same throughput and lower latency of implementation. </para>
“Click and go”: simple and fast folic acid conjugation (2014)

Folic acid targeting by functionalization of the terminal γ-carboxylic acid is one of the most important strategies to selectively deliver chemotherapeutics and dyes to cancer cells which overexpress folate receptors. However, conjugation of folic acid is limited by its unique solubility and by selectivity issues imposing the need for expensive preparative reverse-phase chromatographic purification to isolate γ-folate conjugates. Herein is provided a novel synthetic tool for the synthesis of new folic acid conjugates with excellent γ-purity based on strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloadditions with a γ-folate-cyclooctyne conjugate 3. To demonstrate the potential of this methodology several new folate conjugates were synthesized with high γ-purity and without using any type of chromatographic purification by reacting conjugate 3 with several fluorescent probes, polymers and siliceous materials bearing azide. In addition, the cycloaddition reaction between conjugate 3 and an azido-derived fluorescent dye was successfully performed in cellular media leading to an increase of fluorescence in the cells which overexpress folate receptors (NCI-H460).
Neuropsychiatric Symptoms as Predictors of Progression to Severe Alzheimer’s Dementia and Death: The Cache County Dementia Progression Study (2015)

Specific neuropsychiatric symptoms are associated with shorter survival time from mild Alzheimer's dementia to severe dementia and/or death. The treatment of specific neuropsychiatric symptoms in mild Alzheimer's dementia should be examined for its potential to delay time to severe dementia or death.
Chiral Amino Ether-Controlled Catalytic Enantioselective Arylthiol Conjugate Additions to α,β-Unsaturated Esters and Ketones:  Scope, Structural Requirements, and Mechanistic Implications (2001)

Asymmetric conjugate addition reaction of 2-trimethylsilylbenzenethiol with enoates and enones is catalyzed by a chiral amino ether-lithium thiolate complex and affords adducts with high enantioselectivity. Both the s-cis conformation and a steric wall at one side of the carbonyl group are structural requirements in substrates yielding adducts with high enantioselectivity. Reactions with tert-butyl enones gave addition products with high enantioselectivity. Construction of two contiguous chiral centers was possible by this addition-protonation sequence. Methyl tiglate was stereoselectively converted to a single syn-adduct of 95% enantiomeric excess (ee) bearing two contiguous chiral centers. Methyl 2-phenyl-2-butenoate was converted to a single syn-adduct of 95% ee, which was desulfurized to methyl 2-phenylbutanoate of 95% ee. These additions generate a transient lithium enolate that is protonated by a thiol anti to the C-S bond, giving the corresponding product having two adjacent stereocenters.
Formal Specification of Multi-Agent Systems: a Real World Case (1995)

In this paper the framework DESIRE, originally designed for formal specification of complex reasoning systems is used to specify a real-world multi-agent application on a conceptual level. Some extensions to DESIRE are introduced to obtain a useful formal specification framework for multi-agent systems. 1 Introduction In many areas of software engineering and knowledge-based system design, formal specifications of the conceptual design of complex systems are devised before systems are implemented; for an overview in the area of complex (knowledge-based) reasoning systems, see (Treur &amp; Wetter 93). Such specifications describe the semantics of systems without concern for implementation details, providing a basis for verification and validation of the functionality of the systems. Most specification frameworks, however, do not provide adequate means to describe the dynamics of reasoning behaviour and acting behaviour (e.g., guided reasoning, observation, communication and execution of ac...
UPDATE OF A TRIAL OF CO2-BASED GEOTHERMAL AT THE ST. JOHNS DOME (2012)

In September of 2010, GreenFire Energy received a DOE grant to attempt a real-world trial of CO2-based geothermal energy (CO2G) at a site on the St. JohnsSpringerville CO2 Dome near the Arizona-New Mexico border. Though CO2G was proposed in 1998, and there has been a significant amount of computer modeling, there has never until now been an attempt to test the idea in the field. The chosen site is uniquely suited for testing CO2G, as it incorporates the St .Johns CO2 reservoir, from which approximately 450 MM tons of CO2 is recoverable from relatively shallow deposits. The CO2-bearing formations overlie a moderate-temperature geothermal area. Thus the plan is to produce CO2 from the shallow formations, compress as necessary to obtain supercritical CO2, which will then be injected into the hot basement granite/schist formation containing the geothermal heat. This paper will describe the work to date, including a summary of the pertinent literature and early results from passive seismic monitoring of the site. Plans for further research will also be discussed.

Enhancement of Bone Ingrowth by the Use of Bone Matrix as a Biologic Cement (1984)

In an effort to enhance bone growth into implants with porous coatings, a decalcified bone cement was used to secure fixation of the implants in canine femora. Rods with porous coatings were inserted bilaterally into the femoral medullary canals of nine dogs of varying sizes. A demineralized bone paste was used to enhance the fixation in one side, with the contralateral limb serving as a control. Pull-out testing and gross and roentgenographic examination of the specimens confirmed that the demineralized bone matrix enhanced fixation.
Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets of Depression After Intracerebral Hemorrhage (2018)

The relationship between depression and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is complicated. One of the most common neuropsychiatric comorbidities of hemorrhagic stroke is Post-ICH depression. Depression, as a neuropsychiatric symptom, also negatively impacts the outcome of ICH by enhancing morbidity, disability, and mortality. However, the ICH outcome can be improved by antidepressants such as the frequently-used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. This review therefore presents the mechanisms of post-ICH depression, we grouped the mechanisms according to inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), apoptosis and autophagy, and explained them through their several associated signaling pathways. Inflammation is mainly related to Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the NF-kB mediated signal pathway, the PPAR-γ-dependent pathway, as well as other signaling pathways. OS is associated to nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), the PI3K/Akt pathway and the MAPK/P38 pathway. Moreover, autophagy is associated with the mTOR signaling cascade and the NF-kB mediated signal pathway, while apoptosis is correlated with the death receptor-mediated apoptosis pathway, mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, caspase-independent pathways and others. Furthermore, we found that neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis experience interactions with one another. Additionally, it may provide several potential therapeutic targets for patients that might suffer from depression after ICH.
Self-automated parking lots for autonomous vehicles based on vehicular ad hoc networking (2014)

Parking is a major problem of car transportation, with important implications in traffic congestion and urban landscape. Reducing the space needed to park cars has led to the development of fully automated and mechanical parking systems. These systems are, however, limitedly deployed because of their construction and maintenance costs. Leveraging on semi and fully-autonomous vehicular technology, as well as on the electric propulsion paradigm and in vehicular ad hoc networking, we propose a new parking concept where the mobility of parked vehicles is managed by a parking lot controller to create space for cars entering or exiting the parking lot, in a collaborative manner. We show that the space needed to park such vehicles can be reduced to half the space needed with conventional parking lot designs. We also show that the total travelled distance of vehicles in this new parking lot paradigm can be 30% less than in conventional parking lots. Our proposal can have important consequences in parking costs and in urban landscape.

The high affinity Fc gamma receptor (CD64) induces phagocytosis in the absence of its cytoplasmic domain: the gamma subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA imparts phagocytic function to Fc gamma RI. (1994)

The high affinity Fc gamma receptor, Fc gamma RI, is unique among the three classes of macrophage Fc gamma receptors not only in its affinity for IgG, but also in the structure of its cytoplasmic domain. Fc gamma RIIA and the gamma subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA have tyrosine-containing motifs within their cytoplasmic domains that are phosphorylated when crosslinked and that are required for phagocytosis by COS-1 cell transfectants. In contrast to these other Fc gamma receptors, Fc gamma RI does not contain cytoplasmic tyrosines and does not induce phagocytosis in COS-1 transfectants. We transfected wild-type (WT) and mutant (MT) Fc gamma RI lacking the cytoplasmic domain into COS-1 cells and murine macrophages and assessed phagocytosis using IgG-coated red blood cells (RBCs) and RBCs conjugated with Fab anti-human Fc gamma RI monoclonal antibody (mAb). Fc gamma RI, in contrast to Fc gamma RIIA, did not induce phagocytosis in COS cells. However, both WT and MT Fc gamma RI induced phagocytosis in murine macrophages, and phagocytosis was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor tyrphostin 23. Human monocytes also phagocytosed Fc gamma RI-targeted RBCs, and activation of Fc gamma RI on monocytes with Fab anti-Fc gamma RI induced phosphorylation of Fc gamma RII on tyrosine residues. However, Fc gamma RI activation of Fc gamma RI-Fc gamma RIIA COS-1 cotransfectants did not induce tyrosine phosphorylation of Fc gamma RIIA, and coexpression of Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RIIA in COS cells did not confer Fc gamma RI phagocytic capability. In contrast, coexpression in COS-1 cells of Fc gamma RI with the gamma subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA conferred phagocytic function to both Fc gamma RI and the MT Fc gamma RI lacking the cytoplasmic domain. Thus, Fc gamma RI does not require its cytoplasmic domain to mediate a phagocytic signal and interacts with the gamma subunit of Fc gamma RIIIA to induce phagocytosis.
Enhanced ICA mixture model for image segmentation (2005)

The ICA mixture model has been proposed to perform unsupervised classification of data modelled as a mixture of classes described by linear combinations ql independent, non-Gaussian densities. Since the original learning algorithm is based on a gradient optimization technique, it was noted that its performance is affected by some known limitations associated with this kind of approach. In this paper, improvements based on implementation and modelling aspects are incorporated to ICA mixture model aiming to apply it for image segmentation. Comparative experimental results obtained by the enhanced method and the original one are presented to show that the proposed modifications can significantly improve the classification and segmentation performance considering random generated data and some image data of public domain.
