6H-5 Design, Elaboration and Characterization of Coupled Resonator Filters for WCDMA Applications (2006)

This work presents the design, manufacturing and characterization of bulk acoustic wave coupled resonator filter (BAW CRF) for W-CDMA applications. Aluminum nitride resonators with molybdenum electrodes are acoustically coupled through a W/SiO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> multi-layered stack and insulated by a fully dielectric SiN/SiOC Bragg mirror. This configuration provides galvanic isolation between input and output making CRF suitable for single-to-balanced conversion. Measurements of both single-ended and single-to-balanced filters display bandwidth and out-of-band attenuation close to W-CDMA specifications. Minimum insertion loss of 2.9 dB is measured whereas strong spurious resonances are observed. Experimental results on spurious modes suppression using specific border region are discussed
Finite-temperature full random-phase approximation model of band gap narrowing for silicon device simulation (1998)

An analytical model of the band gap narrowing (BGN) in silicon was derived from a non-self-consistent finite-temperature full random-phase approximation (RPA) formalism. Exchange-correlation self-energy of the free carriers and correlation energy of the carrier-dopant interaction were treated on an equal basis. The dispersive quasi-particle shift (QPS) in RPA quality was numerically calculated for a broad range of densities and temperatures. The dispersion was found to be smooth enough for the relevant energies to justify the rigid shift approximation in accordance with the non-self-consistent scheme. A pronounced temperature effect of the BGN only exists in the intermediate density range. The contribution of the ionic part of the QPS to the total BGN decreases from 1/3 at low densities to about 1/4 at very high densities. Based on the numerical results, Padé approximations in terms of carrier densities, doping, and temperature with an accuracy of 1 meV were constructed using limiting cases. The analytical expression for the ionic part had to be modified for device application to account for depletion zones. The model shows a reasonable agreement with certain photoluminescence data and good agreement with recently revised electrical measurements, in particular for p-type silicon. The change of BGN profiles in a bipolar transistor under increasing carrier injection is demonstrated.

Photoluminescence of CaGa2S4:Pr Polycrystals (2016)

The photoluminescence (PL) and PL excitation spectra of CaGa2S4 polycrystals doped with praseodymium are studied in the regions of the activator absorption and the fundamental absorption of the host. It is found that the PL excitation spectrum consists of two regions: broadband absorption in the range of 200-380 nm corresponding to the fundamental absorption of the host and the narrow-band absorption of the dopant in the range of 430–515 nm. The luminescence spectra are different for different excitation wave-lengths, which occurs because Pr3+ ions substitute divalent cations occupying different crystallographic positions in the host crystal lattice.
In-Field Drydown Rates and Harvest (2010)

As of Sept. 27, nearly 91 percent of Iowa’s corn rates are “safe from frost” according to the USDA- NASS report indicating the majority of the crop isphysiologically mature (R6). The crop’s development is five days ahead of normal, 68 percent mature, and dramatically outpaces the 43 percent mature recorded in 2009 for the same week. Drydown remains as the last major in-field growing season process after the grain reaches physiological maturity – ‘black layer.’ The grain, although still connected to the cob, is disconnected physiologically from the plant because of the abscission or black layer - no further exchange of either nutrients or water between the cob and the kernel occurs.
DESA: Dependable, Efficient, Scalable Architecture for Management of Large-Scale Batteries (2011)

Conventional battery management systems (BMSs) for electric vehicles (EVs) are designed in an ad hoc way, causing the supply of EVs to fall behind the market demand. A well-designed and combined hardware-software architecture is essential for the efficient management of a large-scale battery pack that may consists of thousands of battery cells as in Tesla Motors and GM Chevy Volt. We propose a Dependable, Efficient, Scalable Architecture (DESA) that effectively monitors a large number of battery cells, efficiently controls, and reconfigures, if needed, their connection arrangement. DESA supports hierarchical, autonomous management of battery cells, where a global BMS orchestrates a group of local BMSs. A local controller on each local BMS autonomously manages an array of battery cells, and the global controller reconfigures the connectivity of such battery-cell arrays in coordination with the local controllers. Also, DESA allows individual arrays and local BMSs to be selectively powered-off for energy savings. The performance of this energy-saving capability is modeled and evaluated using a Markov chain. Our evaluation results show that DESA effectively tolerates battery-cell failures by an order-of-magnitude—while achieving <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">$7.4\times$</tex></formula> service cost savings—better than a conventional BMS. This superior performance not only extends the battery life significantly, but also provides the flexibility in supporting diverse electric power demands from a growing number of on-board applications.
An inhibitor persistently decreased enteric methane emission from dairy cows with no negative effect on milk production (2015)

A quarter of all anthropogenic methane emissions in the United States are from enteric fermentation, primarily from ruminant livestock. This study was undertaken to test the effect of a methane inhibitor, 3-nitrooxypropanol (3NOP), on enteric methane emission in lactating Holstein cows. An experiment was conducted using 48 cows in a randomized block design with a 2-wk covariate period and a 12-wk data collection period. Feed intake, milk production, and fiber digestibility were not affected by the inhibitor. Milk protein and lactose yields were increased by 3NOP. Rumen methane emission was linearly decreased by 3NOP, averaging about 30% lower than the control. Methane emission per unit of feed dry matter intake or per unit of energy-corrected milk were also about 30% less for the 3NOP-treated cows. On average, the body weight gain of 3NOP-treated cows was 80% greater than control cows during the 12-wk experiment. The experiment demonstrated that the methane inhibitor 3NOP, applied at 40 to 80 mg/kg feed dry matter, decreased methane emissions from high-producing dairy cows by 30% and increased body weight gain without negatively affecting feed intake or milk production and composition. The inhibitory effect persisted over 12 wk of treatment, thus offering an effective methane mitigation practice for the livestock industries.
An acoustic echo canceller using lapped orthogonal transform (2002)

In the teleconference system or the hands-free telephone, the speech broadcasted from the loudspeaker can be transformed back to the talker as a far-end talker-echo. The far-end talker-echo can be eliminated by an acoustic echo canceller. An acoustic echo canceller based on the lapped orthogonal transform (LOT) using discrete Walsh-Hadamard transform (DWHT) as the building block for the fast algorithm is presented. The new structure can provide better ERLE and tracking capability than the structure using the LOT presented by Malver (1992). The computation complexity of the new structure is much lower than the orthogonal transform LMS structure.
Data Center Network Virtualization: A Survey (2012)

With the growth of data volumes and variety of Internet applications, data centers (DCs) have become an efficient and promising infrastructure for supporting data storage, and providing the platform for the deployment of diversified network services and applications (e.g., video streaming, cloud computing). These applications and services often impose multifarious resource demands (storage, compute power, bandwidth, latency) on the underlying infrastructure. Existing data center architectures lack the flexibility to effectively support these applications, which results in poor support of QoS, deployability, manageability, and defence against security attacks. Data center network virtualization is a promising solution to address these problems. Virtualized data centers are envisioned to provide better management flexibility, lower cost, scalability, better resources utilization, and energy efficiency. In this paper, we present a survey of the current state-of-the-art in data center networks virtualization, and provide a detailed comparison of the surveyed proposals. We discuss the key research challenges for future research and point out some potential directions for tackling the problems related to data center design.

Effects of Posthatch Glucose on Poults Fed and Fasted During Yolk Sac Depletion (1989)

The advantage of glucose administration after hatching was examined in terms of poult performance and body changes 3 days after administration. A .5-mL dose of 50% glucose in saline was either subcutaneously (sc) injected in the neck or intubated into the crop. Controls did not receive glucose nor were they handled. Controls and poults given glucose were divided into two groups and either brooded with feed and water or kept in transportation boxes and fasted. Poults that were fasted lost weight, and glucose treatments did not alter this loss; however, access to feed and water led to a gain in weight. Those poults given glucose had greater weight gains and feed consumption than controls. Liver, yolk sac, and carcass contained increased moisture in response to glucose when feed and water had been provided, whereas only the carcass expressed this change when the birds were fasted. Most changes to glucose were greater from sc than oral dosing, and neither egg weight of origin nor sex influenced the extent of poult response.
One-Shot In Vitro Evolution Generated an Antibody Fragment for Testing Urinary Cotinine with More Than 40-Fold Enhanced Affinity (2016)

Immunoassays for cotinine, a major nicotine metabolite, in the urine are useful for monitoring the degree of tobacco smoke exposure. However, hybridoma-based anti-cotinine antibodies lack sufficient binding affinity to perform practically sensitive measurements, and thus most cotinine assays still rely on polyclonal antibodies. Here, we describe the generation of a mutant single-chain Fv fragment (scFv) that was used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine urinary cotinine levels in passive smokers. A "wild-type" scFv (scFv-wt) with a K<sub>a</sub> value of 2.7 × 10<sup>7</sup> M<sup>-1</sup> (at 4 °C) was prepared by linking the V<sub>H</sub> and V<sub>L</sub> domains in a mouse anti-cotinine antibody. "One-shot" random mutagenesis on the scFv-wt gene by error-prone PCR generated mutant scFv genes, which were expressed on phage particles. Repeated panning directed toward mutants with slower off-rates selected scFv clones that showed improved sensitivity in an ELISA system. One of these mutants (scFv#m1-54) with five amino acid substitutions showed more than a 40-fold enhanced K<sub>a</sub> (1.2 × 10<sup>9</sup> M<sup>-1</sup> at 4 °C) and, thus, was used to monitor human urinary cotinine. A limited amount of soluble scFv was reacted with urine specimens (or cotinine standards) at 4 °C for 120 min in microwells on which cotinine residues had been immobilized. The midpoint of the dose-response curves under optimized conditions (0.27 ng/assay) was more than 100-fold lower than the ELISA results obtained using scFv-wt. The limit of detection (8.4 pg/assay) corresponded to 0.17 ng/mL urinary cotinine, which was satisfactorily low for testing the threshold levels for passive smoke exposure. The assay values for volunteers correlated with the values determined using a commercial assay kit. This study evidently showed the potential of a molecular breeding approach, in which simple in vitro evolution might generate superior antibody reagents as cloned proteins, overcoming the limited molecular diversity inherent to conventional immunization-based antibodies.
Image noise types recognition using convolutional neural network with principal components analysis (2017)

This study presents a model to effectively recognise image noise of different types and levels: impulse, Gaussian, Speckle and Poisson noise, and a mixture of multiple types of the noise. To classify image noise type, the convolutional neural network (CNN) method with backpropagation algorithm and stochastic gradient descent optimisation techniques are implemented. In order to reduce the training time and computational cost of the algorithm, the principal components analysis (PCA) filters generating strategy is deployed to obtain data adaptive filter banks. The authors validated their designed CNN with PCA for noise types recognition model with degraded images containing noise of single and combination of multiple types, with a total of 11,000 and 1650 datasets for training and testing purposes, respectively. The variety and complexity of data have never been addressed before in any other research work. The capability of their intelligent system in handling images degraded under this complicated environment has surpassed human‐eye performance in noise types recognition. The authors’ experiments have proven the reliability of the proposed noise types recognition model by having achieved an overall average accuracy of 99.3% while recognising eight classes of noise.

Full-scale thermophilic digestion at the west-southwest sewage treatment works, Chicago, Illinois (1982)

To increase the solids-processing capacity of its largest sewage plant, the Chicago Sanitary District considered converting its mesophilic digestion facility to thermophilic operation rather than expanding the plant. A 130-week performance test demonstrated the energy self-sufficiency of a thermophilic digester operated at a 7-day detention time and thus processing twice as much sludge as the mesophilic unit. Its energy self-sufficiency depends on the feed solids concentration, gas production rate, and heating-plant efficiency.
Infection of Human Airway Epithelium by Human and Avian Strains of Influenza A Virus (2006)

We describe the characterization of influenza A virus infection of an established in vitro model of human pseudostratified mucociliary airway epithelium (HAE). Sialic acid receptors for both human and avian viruses, alpha-2,6- and alpha-2,3-linked sialic acids, respectively, were detected on the HAE cell surface, and their distribution accurately reflected that in human tracheobronchial tissue. Nonciliated cells present a higher proportion of alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid, while ciliated cells possess both sialic acid linkages. Although we found that human influenza viruses infected both ciliated and nonciliated cell types in the first round of infection, recent human H3N2 viruses infected a higher proportion of nonciliated cells in HAE than a 1968 pandemic-era human virus, which infected proportionally more ciliated cells. In contrast, avian influenza viruses exclusively infected ciliated cells. Although a broad-range neuraminidase abolished infection of HAE by human parainfluenza virus type 3, this treatment did not significantly affect infection by influenza viruses. All human viruses replicated efficiently in HAE, leading to accumulation of nascent virus released from the apical surface between 6 and 24 h postinfection with a low multiplicity of infection. Avian influenza A viruses also infected HAE, but spread was limited compared to that of human viruses. The nonciliated cell tropism of recent human H3N2 viruses reflects a preference for the sialic acid linkages displayed on these cell types and suggests a drift in the receptor binding phenotype of the H3 hemagglutinin protein as it evolves in humans away from its avian virus precursor.

The effect of drug ionization on lipid-lased formulations for the oral delivery of anti-psychotics (2020)

Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) are well-known to improve the oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs (PWSDs) by presenting the drug to the gastrointestinal environment in a molecularly dispersed state, thus avoiding the rate-limiting dissolution step. Risperidone and lurasidone are antipsychotics drugs which experience erratic and variable absorption, leading to a low oral bioavailability. The aim of this research was to develop and investigate the performance of risperidone and lurasidone when formulated as an emulsion and silica-lipid hybrid (SLH). Lurasidone and risperidone were dissolved in Capmul® MCM at 100% and 80% their equilibrium solubility, respectively, prior to forming a sub-micron emulsion. SLH microparticles were fabricated by spray-drying a silica stabilised sub-micron emulsion to form a solid powder. The performances of the formulations were evaluated in simulated intestinal media under digesting conditions, where the emulsion and SLH provided a 17-fold and 23-fold increase in LUR solubilisation, respectively. However, the performance of RIS was reduced by 2.2-fold when encapsulated within SLH compared to pure drug. Owing to its pKa, RIS adsorbed to the silica and thus, dissolution was significantly hindered. The results reveal that LBFs may not overcome the challenges of all PWSDs and physiochemical properties must be carefully considered when predicting drug performance.

Performance analysis of a family of adaptive blind equalization algorithms for square-QAM (2015)

Multimodulus algorithms (MMA) based adaptive blind equalizers mitigate inter-symbol interference and recover carrier-phase in communication systems by minimizing dispersion in the in-phase and quadrature components of the received signal using the respective components of the equalized sequence in a decoupled manner. These equalizers are mostly incorporated in bandwidth-efficient digital receivers which rely on quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signaling. The nonlinearities in the update equations of these equalizers tend to lead to difficulties in the study of their steady-state performance. This paper presents originally the steady-state excess mean-square-error (EMSE) analysis of different members of multimodulus equalizers MMAp–qin a non-stationary environment using energy conservation arguments, and thus bypassing the need for working directly with the weight error covariance matrix. In doing so, the exact and approximate expressions for the steady-state mean-square-error of several MMA based blind equalization algorithms are derived, including MMA2–2, MMA2–1, MMA1–2, and MMA1–1. The accuracy of the derived analytical results isvalidated using Monte–Carloexperiments and found to be in close agreement.
MIMIC-CXR: A large publicly available database of labeled chest radiographs (2019)

Chest radiography is an extremely powerful imaging modality, allowing for a detailed inspection of a patient's thorax, but requiring specialized training for proper interpretation. With the advent of high performance general purpose computer vision algorithms, the accurate automated analysis of chest radiographs is becoming increasingly of interest to researchers. However, a key challenge in the development of these techniques is the lack of sufficient data. Here we describe MIMIC-CXR-JPG v2.0.0, a large dataset of 377,110 chest x-rays associated with 227,827 imaging studies sourced from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2011 - 2016. Images are provided with 14 labels derived from two natural language processing tools applied to the corresponding free-text radiology reports. MIMIC-CXR-JPG is derived entirely from the MIMIC-CXR database, and aims to provide a convenient processed version of MIMIC-CXR, as well as to provide a standard reference for data splits and image labels. All images have been de-identified to protect patient privacy. The dataset is made freely available to facilitate and encourage a wide range of research in medical computer vision.
