A Resonant Global Clock Distribution for the Cell Broadband-Engine Processor (2008)

Resonant clocking techniques show promise in reducing global clock power and timing uncertainty (skew and jitter). By resonating the large global clock capacitance with an inductance, the energy used to charge the clock node each period can be recycled within the LC tank network, resulting in lower clock power. Additional power savings are realized by reducing the strength of clock drivers because only losses need to be overcome at resonance. Skew and jitter are improved due to the bandpass characteristic of the LC network and the use of fewer clock buffering stages. We describe how the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) processor is experimentally transformed to have a resonant-load global clock distribution similar to the one in (Chan et al., 2004).
Testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin, calculated free testosterone, and oestradiol in male vegans and omnivores (1990)

Total testosterone (T), total oestradiol (E2) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations were measured in plasma samples from fifty-one male vegans and fifty-seven omnivores of similar age. Free T concentration was estimated by calculation. In comparison with the omnivores, the vegans had 7% higher total T (P = 0.250), 23% higher SHBG (P = 0.001), 3% lower free T (P = 0.580), and 11% higher E2 (P = 0.194). In a subset of eighteen vegans and twenty-two omnivores for whom 4 d diet records were available, there were statistically significant correlations between T and polyunsaturated fatty acids (r 0.37), SHBG and fat (r 0.43 for total fat, 0.46 for saturated fatty acids and 0.33 for polyunsaturated fatty acids), and SHBG and alcohol (r-0.39). It is concluded that a vegan diet causes a substantial increase in SHBG but has little effect on total or free T or on E2.
Research on Nonlinear Control of AC Active Magnetic Bearings (2012)

For the five degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) AC active magnetic bearing (AMB), which is a multivariable, nonlinear and strongly coupled system, conventional single-variable controller cannot meet the control requirements. Based on the state space model of 5-DOF AC AMB and direct feedback linearization, the equations of coordinate transform and nonlinear state feedback can be simplified into differentiating output equations, which achieves the input-output linearization of 5-DOF AC AMB system. Then, the system can be decoupled into five independent 2-order linear subsystems and realizes the completely decoupling of 5-DOF. Finally, the internal model control (IMC) method is employed to synthesize the subsystems, in order to avoid the performance deteriorated due to the model error and external disturbance. The results of simulation example demonstrate that this decoupling control strategy can realize not only the dynamic decoupling of 5-DOF AC AMB, but also the good dynamic/static performance and robustness.

Early and Delayed Shut-off of Host Protein Synthesis in Cells Infected with Herpes Simplex Virus (1982)

A mutant of herpes simplex virus type 1 [HSV-1(HFEM)], tsB7, appears to have two temperature-sensitive functions. One is required during the first hour of infecting a cell (suggesting that it is performed by a virion protein) and the other is the non-essential function of "early shut-off" of cellular protein synthesis, which is mediated by a virion protein. The latter function remained temperature-sensitive in a revertant virus (RC2) grown at the non-permissive temperature (39 degrees C). However, under these conditions RC2 did cause inhibition of host synthesis, showing that "delayed shut-off", requiring virus protein synthesis, can occur independently of early shut-off, which is mediated by a virion protein. Early shut-off by u.v.-irradiated tsB7 was reversed when the temperature was raised, whereas delayed shut-off by intact tsB7 was not. Of two wild-type strains of virus examined, HSV-1(F) also exhibited temperature-sensitive early shut-off, but HSV-2(G) did not.

Designing Interactive Music Systems: A Pattern Approach (1999)

Music is a structurally very complex type of multimedia information. Today, computer systems easily play back music in high quality, but an ideal system should offer many more, media-appropriate ways to interact with musical data. Users should be able to hum a melody to locate the tune they want, then conduct it, or play to it with adjustable computer support, alone or with others via the Internet. Such interactivity would encourage musical creativity, and let users learn about musical concepts by playing with them. This paper shows how we used a pattern language approach for software design, interaction design, and the application domain OmusicO to build a system with these qualities.
Decentralized interleaving of paralleled dc-dc buck converters (2017)

We present a decentralized control strategy that yields switch interleaving among parallel-connected dc-dc buck converters. The proposed method is based on the digital implementation of the dynamics of a nonlinear oscillator circuit as the controller. Each controller is fully decentralized, i.e., it only requires the locally measured output current to synthesize the pulse width modulation (PWM) carrier waveform and no communication between different controllers is needed. By virtue of the intrinsic electrical coupling between converters, the nonlinear oscillator-based controllers converge to an interleaved state with uniform phase-spacing across PWM carriers. To the knowledge of the authors, this work presents the first fully decentralized strategy for switch interleaving in paralleled dc-dc buck converters.

Viable dispersion management scheme with standard and NZDSF fibers for 10 Gb/s WDM systems (2002)

We demonstrated transmission of 16/spl times/10 Gb/s WDM channels over 400 km of fiber with 80 km spacing between erbium-doped silica fiber amplifiers. Each span consisted of standard single mode and non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers and was optimised for bi-directional transmission. The measured Q factor was greater than 9.1 for all channels, with a maximum fiber-induced Q penalty of -2.0 dB.
The Holos Reactor: A Distributable Power Generator with Transportable Subcritical Power Modules (2017)

Holos is a distributable modular nuclear power generator with enhanced safety features. Holos design objectives include production of affordable pollutant-free electricity and process heat with the safest melt-tolerant and proliferation resistant fuels. The design leverages commercial tech- nologies utilized for the conversion of thermal energy into conditioned electricity. Holos can op- erate as a stand-alone electric island at sites with no power grid infrastructure and can be scaled- up or clustered to meet local electric demands. Specialized configurations of Holos generators can be airlifted and timely deployed to supply emergency electricity and process heat to disaster areas and to inaccessible remote locations. The proposed distributable electric generator is com- prised within dimensions and weight requirements compatible with International Standard Or- ganization (ISO) transport containers, and is formed by subcritical power modules protected from shock stressors during transport. Holos coupled core becomes critical and enables power generation only when multiple subcritical power modules are positioned near one another. Cool- ing of Holos fuel relies only on environmental air during operations with passive decay-heat re- moval. Depending on configurations, Holos fuel cycle is 12-20 years, with 8%-15% enriched nuclear fuel sealed at all times and contained within replaceable fuel cartridges. At the end of the fuel cycle, the fuel cartridges fit within licensed transport and storage canisters for long term storage with low decommissioning cost. Holos power conversion components can be recondi- tioned when the fuel cartridges are replaced at the end of their fuel cycles and the generator can be re-licensed to resume operation for a total generator life-span of 60 years. In this design, the thermodynamic cycle utilized to convert the core thermal energy into electricity is based on the Brayton power cycle. In some configurations, the design integrates and couples a bottoming Rankine power cycle operating with organic fluids to enhance efficiency, convert decay thermal energy into electricity and support process heat applications. Holos waste heat recovery and con- version feature also relaxes thermal loading requirements at underground spent fuel repositories. The power conversion components utilized in this design are off-the-shelf, with power ratings comparable to those forming aviation jet engines and gas turbines commercially available worldwide. This approach simplifies the design and enables factory certification following the regulatory and quality assurance programs applied by the aviation industry. Holos innovative architecture provides the means to support a distributable power source satisfying various appli- cations’ requirements with enhanced safety and substantial cost reductions, thus making Holos generators competitive, and synergetic with technology sourced on renewable energy.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the graphene era (2019)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been the subject of interdisciplinary research in the fields of chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology. Notably, PAHs have drawn increasing attention since the discovery of graphene, which has been regarded as the "wonder" material in the 21st century. Different from semimetallic graphene, nanoscale graphenes, such as graphene nanoribbons and graphene quantum dots, exhibit finite band gaps owing to the quantum confinement, making them attractive semiconductors for next-generation electronic applications. Researches based on PAHs and graphenes have expanded rapidly over the past decade, thereby posing a challenge in conducting a comprehensive review. This study aims to interconnect the fields of PAHs and graphenes, which have mainly been discussed separately. In particular, by selecting representative examples, we explain how these two domains can stimulate each other. We hope that this integrated approach can offer new opportunities and further promote synergistic developments in these fields.
Reactive obstacle avoidance for Rotorcraft UAVs (2011)

We present a goal-directed 3D reactive obstacle avoidance algorithm specifically designed for Rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (RUAVs) that fly point-to-point type trajectories. The algorithm detects potential collisions within a cylindrical Safety Volume projected ahead of the UAV. This is done in a 3D occupancy map representation of the environment. An expanding elliptical search is performed to find an Escape Point; a waypoint which offers a collision free route past obstacles and towards a goal waypoint. An efficient occupied voxel checking technique is employed which approximates the Safety Volume by a series of spheres, and uses an approximate nearest neighbour search in a Bkd-tree representation of the occupied voxels. Tests show the algorithm can typically find an Escape Point in under 100 ms using onboard UAV processing for a cluttered environment with 20 000 occupied voxels. Successful collision avoidance results are presented from simulation experiments and from flights with an autonomous helicopter equipped with stereo and laser range sensors.
Shallow Water Drilling With Adeep Water Drillship (1978)

ABSTRACT A working procedure has been developed and successfully used to enable a deepwater drillship to drill in shallow water. The paper describes how by a combination of recessing the wellhead and B.O.P. below the sea floor, in a sea-floor cellar, and by shortening the slip joint the deep water drillship CHANCELLORSVILLE was used to drill two wells in the Gulf Coast, in approx. 55 ft. of water. Experience gained during the first well was used to develop a more efficient procedure which was adopted for the second well. INTRODUCTION Until now, offshore drilling in shallow water depths has been greatly dependent upon availability of bottom supported drilling units, principally jack-ups or submersibles. The concept that a drillship or drill barge employing innovative techniques, could be used economically in place of a jack-up in shallow water was not readily accepted until recently when Samedan Oil Corp. initiated its program to drill in shallow waters. With the demand for bottom-supported rigs greater than the available supply, AOI proposed to use its drillship CHANCELLORSVILLE with a seafloor cellar as portrayed in Figure 1. The typical minimum water depth for a drillship has been generally considered to be about 100 ft. This limitation is based upon factors requiring adequate spacing between drill floor and sea floor to physically accommodate the wellhead. BOP, ball joint, and slip joint. Sufficient length of the riser system from ball joint to drill floor is necessary to allow movement (offset) of the vessel in the horizontal plane resulting from the combined actions of wind, waves, and current. Typical acceptable offset has been about 5% of water depth, or an offset which would limit the ball joint angle to about 5°. Ball joints are capable of angles up to 10°. However, other considerations restrict allowable to a significantly lesser angle. Passage of drilling tools through the ball joint, and wear at the ball joint as drill pipe is rotated must be considered. Sufficient vertical stroke of the slip joint should be present to enable the vessel to heave under the action of waves, and also for tidal changes. Sufficient clearance between the vessel's hull and the BOP fixed to the sea floor should preclude contact when the vessel exhibits motions both vertically and horizontally from wave action. As shown in Fig. 2, placement of the BOP and slip joint for CHANCELLORSVILLE in the normally designed manner would require a minimum water depth of about 99 ft. Modification Needed To work in water depths less than 88 ft. required certain modifications to the normal placement of equipment. It would be possible to accept reduced water depth by merely setting the slip joint for reduced but acceptable downstroke. For example, 10 ft. downstroke would enable operation in water depths of about 76 ft.
Subtle Alterations of the Native Zinc Finger Structures Have Dramatic Effects on the Nucleic Acid Chaperone Activity of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Nucleocapsid Protein (2002)

The nucleocapsid protein (NC) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 has two zinc fingers, each containing the invariant CCHC zinc-binding motif; however, the surrounding amino acid context is not identical in the two fingers. Recently, we demonstrated that zinc coordination is required when NC unfolds complex secondary structures in RNA and DNA minus- and plus-strand transfer intermediates; this property of NC reflects its nucleic acid chaperone activity. Here we have analyzed the chaperone activities of mutants having substitutions of alternative zinc-coordinating residues, i.e., CCHH or CCCC, for the wild-type CCHC motif. We also investigated the activities of mutants that retain the CCHC motifs but have mutations that exchange or duplicate the zinc fingers (mutants 1-1, 2-1, and 2-2); these changes affect amino acid context. Our results indicate that in general, for optimal activity in an assay that measures stimulation of minus-strand transfer and inhibition of nonspecific self-priming, the CCHC motif in the zinc fingers cannot be replaced by CCHH or CCCC and the amino acid context of the fingers must be conserved. Context changes also reduce the ability of NC to facilitate primer removal in plus-strand transfer. In addition, we found that the first finger is a more crucial determinant of nucleic acid chaperone activity than the second finger. Interestingly, comparison of the in vitro results with earlier in vivo replication data raises the possibility that NC may adopt multiple conformations that are responsible for different NC functions during virus replication.
WRKY Transcription Factor- the Interactor of MAPK Cascade (2013)

Protein-Protein interactions (PPIs) are vital to most biological processes thus the identification of PPIs is of primary importance. Here, we endeavor to identify the downstream interaction partners of (AtMAPK3) in Arabidopsis thaliana using the docking approach. The results of our study revealed that out of 72 WRKY members of Arabidopsis thaliana 26 members are showing interaction with AtMAPK3. Together, the results obtained essentially enhance our knowledge of the MAPK interacting protein network and provide a valuable research resource for developing a nearly important link between pathogen-activated MAPK signaling pathways and downstream transcriptional programming.
In-circuit-emulation in ASIC architectural core designs (2003)

Software development and system integration in designs with microprocessors and microcontrollers is often accomplished with the aid of an in-circuit-emulator (ICE). Designs incorporating an architectural microcontroller core cell and peripheral cells embedded in an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) present additional challenges in software development and system integration. A description is given of the ASIC UCS51 family and a fully functional ICE that supports it. The core and peripheral cells are emulated with multiple ICs, and the user logic is emulated with programmable logic devices. Results of the first customer application and use are included.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen 1 Is a Receptor for<i>Pasteurella haemolytica</i>Leukotoxin in Bovine Leukocytes (2000)

Pasteurella (Mannheimia) haemolytica leukotoxin (Lkt) causes cell type- and species-specific effects in ruminant leukocytes. Recent studies indicate that P. haemolytica Lkt binds to bovine CD18, the common subunit of all beta2 integrins. We designed experiments with the following objectives: to identify which member of the beta2 integrins is a receptor for Lkt; to determine whether Lkt binding to the receptor is target cell (bovine leukocytes) specific; to define the relationships between Lkt binding to the receptor, calcium elevation, and cytolysis; and to determine whether a correlation exists between Lkt receptor expression and the magnitude of target cell cytolysis. We compared Lkt-induced cytolysis in neutrophils from control calves and from calves with bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD), because neutrophils from BLAD-homozygous calves exhibit reduced beta2 integrin expression. The results demonstrate for the first time that Lkt binds to bovine CD11a and CD18 (lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 [LFA-1]). The binding was abolished by anti-CD11a or anti-CD18 monoclonal antibody (MAb). Lkt-induced calcium elevation in bovine alveolar macrophages (BAMs) was inhibited by anti-CD11a or anti-CD18 MAb (65 to 94% and 37 to 98%, respectively, at 5 and 50 Lkt units per ml; P < 0.05). Lkt-induced cytolysis in neutrophils and BAMs was also inhibited by anti-CD11a or anti-CD18 MAb in a concentration-dependent manner. Lkt bound to porcine LFA-1 but did not induce calcium elevation or cytolysis. In neutrophils from BLAD calves, Lkt-induced cytolysis was decreased by 44% compared to that of neutrophils from control calves (P < 0.05). These results indicate that LFA-1 is a Lkt receptor, Lkt binding to LFA-1 is not target cell specific, Lkt binding to bovine LFA-1 correlates with calcium elevation and cytolysis, and bovine LFA-1 expression correlates with the magnitude of Lkt-induced target cell cytolysis.
A DRAM Precharge Policy Based on Address Analysis (2007)

As the gap between processor speed and memory speed continues to increase, memory system becomes the bottleneck of the processor. Multiple instructions queuing for accessing main memory appear frequently, the regular changes of the access address stream often appear as well. Utilizing the characteristics of memory access, and considering different speeds of accessing DRAM in the hit, empty and conflict miss cases, this paper proposes a DRAM precharge policy based on address analysis. By collecting statistical information of address distribution of all the instructions waiting for accessing memory, and analyzing the regular changes of access addresses, this method can predict the access of each bank, make judgment of the appropriate moment to precharge each DRAM bank. The experimental results show that comparing with the commonly used close page and open page precharge policies, this method can decrease the cycles per instruction by 15.7% and 4.3% respectively.
