A study on the performance, power consumption tradeoffs of short frame turbo decoder design (2002)

Protecting short frames using turbo coding is a challenging task because of the small interleave size and the need for transmission efficiency. We explore possible trade-off between power consumption (estimated by the average number of iterations) and performance of turbo decoders when short frame turbo codes are used. Three encoding/decoding schemes are proposed to improve performance of turbo decoder in terms of frame/bit error rate, and to increase the data transmission efficiency whether ARQ protocols are performed or not. Specifically, turbo decoding metrics aided short CRC codes are applied to terminated trellis codes, tail-biting encoded trellis codes and CRC embedded trellis codes with a two-fold purpose: to stop the iterative decoding processes and to detect decoding errors at the last iteration. We show that significant coding gains can be achieved by actually increasing the coding rate with negligible increase in power consumption. Performance improvement is demonstrated over both AWGN and Rayleigh flat fading channels.

Theoretical and experimental study of measurement of microwave permittivity using open ended elliptical coaxial probes (1992)

In this paper, a new kind of coaxial probe for measurement of microwave permittivity-an open-ended elliptical aperture-is studied from theoretical and experimental viewpoints. Calculated results are discussed and compared with experimental values. Wideband measurements of the dielectric constants of liquids are performed by using this kind of needle type probe. Both theory and experiment show that open-ended elliptical coaxial probes can be successfully used in wideband dielectric constant measurements with the advantage of increased sensitivity, especially at low frequencies. Moreover, this kind of probe can easily be fitted into gels and living tissues. These features are very important in biological applications both for measurements and microwave radiation treatment.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
In vivo quantification of the scattering properties of tissue using multi-diameter single fiber reflectance spectroscopy (2013)

Multi diameter single fiber reflectance (MDSFR) spectroscopy is a non-invasive optical technique based on using multiple fibers of different diameters to determine both the reduced scattering coefficient (μs') and a parameter γ that is related to the angular distribution of scattering, where γ = (1-g2)/(1-g1) and g1 and g2 the first and second moment of the phase function, respectively. Here we present the first in vivo MDSFR measurements of μs'(λ) and γ(λ) and their wavelength dependence. MDSFR is performed on nineteen mice in four tissue types including skin, liver, normal tongue and in an orthotopic oral squamous cell carcinoma. The wavelength-dependent slope of μs'(λ) (scattering power) is significantly higher for tongue and skin than for oral cancer and liver. The reduced scattering coefficient at 800 nm of oral cancer is significantly higher than of normal tongue and liver. Gamma generally increases with increasing wavelength; for tumor it increases monotonically with wavelength, while for skin, liver and tongue γ(λ) reaches a plateau or even decreases for longer wavelengths. The mean γ(λ) in the wavelength range 400-850 nm is highest for liver (1.87 ± 0.07) and lowest for skin (1.37 ± 0.14). Gamma of tumor and normal tongue falls in between these values where tumor exhibits a higher average γ(λ) (1.72 ± 0.09) than normal tongue (1.58 ± 0.07). This study shows the potential of using light scattering spectroscopy to optically characterize tissue in vivo.

Oxidative DNA damage<i>in vivo</i>: Relationship to age, plasma antioxidants, drug metabolism, glutathione-S-transferase activity and urinary creatinine excretion (1998)

Oxidative DNA modification has been implicated in development of certain cancers and 8-oxodG, the most abundant and mutagenic DNA modification, has for some time been considered a biomarker of this activity. Urinary excretion of 8-oxodG over 24h has been used to estimate the rate of damage to DNA, and animal studies have supported this rationale. Reported determinants include tobacco smoking, heavy exercise, environmental pollution and individual oxygen consumption.Samples from three published studies were used to determine the association of urinary 8-oxodG excretion with age, plasma antioxidants, the glutathione-S-transferase phenotype and the activity of the xenobiotic metabolising enzyme CYP1A2. In the age range 35–65 years, age was not related to urinary 8-oxodG excretion, and there were no relations to either the glutathione-S-transferase phenotype or to the plasma antioxidants: vitamin C, alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, lycopene or coenzyme Q10. The activity of CYP1A2 showed a significant correlation in two of the three studies, as well as a significant correlation of 0.26 (p < 0.05) in the pooled data set. Regression analysis of CYP1A2 activity on 8-oxodG indicated that 33% increase in CYP1A2 activity would correspond to a doubling of 8-oxodG excretion. This finding needs to be confirmed in independent experiments.Spot morning urine samples can under certain circumstances be used to estimate 8-oxodG excretion rate provided that creatinine excretion is unchanged (in paired experiments) or comparable (in un-paired experiments), as evaluated from the correlation between 8-oxodG excretion in 24h urine samples and in morning spot urine samples corrected for creatinine excretion (r = 0.50, p < 0.05).We conclude that 8-oxodG excretion is determined by factors like oxygen consumption and CYP1A2 activity rather than by factors like plasma antioxidant concentrations.
Q-fever in 2003: Report of The Croatian Institute of Public Health (2004)

Serum samples (180 paired and 90 single specimens) from 270 patients with suspected Q-fever were tested at the Virologic Serologic Diagnosis Laboratory, Croatian Institute of Public Health from January to December 2003. The patients were from nearly all parts of Croatia ; most of them were from Dalmatia (Split, Sinj, Sibenik, Zadar, Obrovac, Benkovac, Vrlika), followed by those from Slavonia (Osijek, Vinkovci, Virovitica, Vukovar, Nasice, Požega, Slavonski Brod), northwest Croatia (Zagreb, Koprivnica, Slatina, Novigrad Podravski), central Croatia (Sisak, Vojnic, Gospic, Otocac, Ogulin) and Istria (Pula, Pazin, Vrsar). According to clinical symptoms, the patients were divided into three groups: group I – patients with clinical picture of atypical pneumonia (N=164) ; group II – patients with acute febrile disease (N=30) ; group III – asymptomatic patients referred for testing because they stayed in the endemic area (N=76). The disease was confirmed serologically by detection of specific antibodies to phase II Coxiella burnetti (C. burnetti) using the complement-fixation test (micromethod). A fourfold or greater increase in antibody titre in paired sera as well as titre  1:32 in single specimen were considered a positive finding. Etiologic diagnosis of Q-fever was confirmed in 98 (36%) patients. Depending on clinical picture, the incidence of infections caused by C. burnetti was 52% (85/164) in patients with atypical pneumonia, 33% (10/30) in patients with acute febrile disease and 4% (3/76) in asymptomatic patients. The mean patient age was 32, 7 years (range 2-72 years). Except of six children (five aged 2-8 years and one aged 14 years), all of the patients were adults. Males became affected more often (82%) then females (18% ; ratio 5, 4:1). The largest number of cases was registered in Splitsko-Dalmatinska and Zadarsko-Kninska Counties (Sinj, Zadar, Obrovac, Benkovac). A majority of sporadic cases were recorded from February to May, with the epidemic reported in Dalmatia in February and March on the Zagreb-Split highway construction site.

Direct or Ni-catalysed electroreductive homocouplings of organic halides and couplings of organic halides with activated olefins are efficiently conducted by constant current electrolyses in an undivided cell in room-temperature ionic liquids as the solvent-electrolyte media.
<title>Global Optimization In Binocular Vision</title> (1983)

Correlation techniques for obtaining depth profiles from stereo pairs have been studied extensively yet continue to have problems with generality and computational efficiency. A new method is presented which develops the camera model constraints required to ensure that binocular disparity shifts only shift in the x direction. An optimal mapping algorithm is then applied which gives a globally optimal depth profile for a given line of the stereo pair. The algorithm performs well in cases which are difficult for correlation based algorithms namely, repetitive patterns, depth discontinuties and large, relatively featureless regions. With currently available IC chips this algorithm could be implemented in hardware to achieve video rate performance.
Radiation-induced long thoracic nerve palsy (1987)

The incidence of long thoracic nerve palsy after radical mastectomy has been documented to be approximately 10%. No cases have been reported after the more recent treatment for breast cancer, lumpectomy with axillary dissection. This more recent surgical procedure is customarily followed by aggressive radiation therapy to the remaining breast tissue. This is the first case report of a patient with radiation-induced long thoracic nerve palsy. The patient was a young woman who underwent left breast quadrantectomy and axillary dissection for breast cancer. After radiation therapy, she had isolated left long thoracic nerve palsy. The diagnosis was confirmed by electrodiagnostic studies. Almost full recovery occurred after 5 months.
Squeezing via optical bistability (1985)

The spectrum of squeezing in the output field for the optically bistable system of an atomic medium in a coherently driven cavity is analyzed. Good squeezing is attainable only in certain limits of atomic parameters and cavity detuning.
Failure of Parathormone to Affect Insulin and Glucagon Release from the Perfused Rat Pancreas (1975)

Parathormone (0.15 U/ml) failed to affect the rate of glucagon and insulin release by the perfused rat pancreas exposed to glucose in either low (3.3 mM) or high (8.3 mM) concentration. Parathormone also failed to interfere with the suppressive effect of glucose (16.6mM) upon glucagon release and its stimulatory action upon insulin secretion. Likewise, the biphasic release of both glucagon and insulin evoked by arginine (10.0 mM) in the presence of glucose (8.3 mM) was unaffected by parathormone. These findings suggest that the endocrine pancreas may not be a target organ for any direct and immediate action of parathormone.
Integrated distributed feedback lasers and electroabsorption modulators fabricated using helium-plasma-assisted indium phosphide defect induced quantum well intermixing (2000)

An integrated DFB laser and electroabsorption modulator was fabricated by using a novel quantum-well-intermixing technique that uses the defects from a layer of InP grown by He-plasma-assisted gas source molecular beam epitaxy (He*-InP). This is the first investigation into the He*-InP defect induced intermixing, and the first time a device has been fabricated by using this technique. The first part of this thesis outlines the first investigation into the effects of defects within a layer of He*-InP on annealing-induced quantum-well intermixing. Such a layer can be used to either decrease or increase the total amount of intermixing depending upon the placement of the He*-InP layer relative to the QW and the thickness of the layer. When the layer is far from the QW (∼0.5μm ), the total amount of intermixing is decreased. When the layer is close to the QW, the total amount of intermixing can be increased as well as being accompanied by a reduction of the photoluminescence intensity. The main benefit of this intermixing technique is that, unlike dielectric-enhanced intermixing, it is possible to regrow over material that has been intermixed by the He*-InP defect. The He*-InP defect-induced-intermixing technique has been applied to the fabrication of an integrated electroabsorption modulator and a distributed feedback laser. The techniques developed to fabricated the integrated device are discussed in detail in the second part of the thesis, followed by the device results. The device characteristics vary with device geometry. For example, the extinction ratios range from 9-16dB for voltage of 3V applied to a 400μm modulator due to the variation of the lasing wavelength with ridge width (for a 3QW structure). The threshold currents of discrete, 600μm long DFB lasers ranged from 18 to 35mA depending on its ridge width and where on wafer it was taken from.

Effective Slab Width Definition for Negative Moment Regions of Composite Bridges (2007)

Currently, the AASHTO-LRFD design code specifies the same effective slab width design criteria for both positive moment sections and negative moment sections. The only difference in computing effective slab width between the positive and negative moment regions is the value of effective span length (Le), the definition of which is problematic. The effective slab width concept for the positive moment regions has been investigated by many researchers. However, the classical effective slab width definition does not take into account both the strain variation through the slab thickness and the mechanism that redistributes load from concrete to steel reinforcement after cracking. In this paper, a more robust effective slab width definition for the negative moment section is introduced to account for these factors. The proposed definition is developed for negative moment regions and explored by using the finite-element method (FEM). The finite-element modeling scheme is briefly discussed, and the model is successfully verified with experimental results. Numerical results show the simplicity, accuracy, and robustness of the proposed definition in extracting effective slab width values from FEM results. Numerical results also indicate that the effective slab width criteria in the current AASHTO-LRFD Specifications is typically conservative for larger girder spacings. Detailed calculations of effective slab width for the negative moment regions using the proposed definition are summarized at the end of this paper.
Vorteilhafte Darstellungen Selektiv Acylierter und Alkylierter L-Digitoxoside (1987)

Abstract Acid catalyzed glycosylations of L-digitoxose or its derivatives lead to anomeric mixtures 3 or 4. By 1,4-addition of certain alcohols to the hex-1-en-3-ulose 8 a selective preparation of alkyl-α-L-ervthro-hexopyranoside-β-uloses 10 or 12 is achieved. The ulosides are stereoselectively reduced to give alkyl α-L-digitoxo-sides 13 or 14. By use of phase transfer catalyzed benzylation the latter is regioselectively transformed into the monobenzyl ethers 17 and 18. respectively. The 3,4-carbonate 19 can be opened with N-methylamine or ammonia to give predominantly the 3-carbamoyl derivatives 20 (or 22) together with the regioisomers 21 (or 23) as side products. Methylation of the mixture 20 plus 21 uniformly lead to the 4-O-methyl ether 28, the reaction mechanism of which is outlined. The 3-N-methy1-carbaraoyl derivatives 29 and the corresponding 3-O-p-methoxybenzoate compound 32, obtained straightforwardly from the epoxide 25 or from 28 represent L-digitoxose building units useful for further glycos...

Superoxide dismutase isoenzymes in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma from patients with neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses (1986)

The neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses is a group of diseases characterized by a widespread accumulation in the body of pigments believed to be end-products of lipid-peroxidation damaged organelles. It was recently shown that cerebrospinal fluid from patients with infantile and juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis were less protective against superoxide radical-induced hydroxyl radical formation compared with controls. The content of superoxide dismutase isoenzymes in cerebrospinal fluid and in plasma from patients with different forms of neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis was analysed. No significant difference from controls could be demonstrated in samples from patients with juvenile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis. The few samples from patients with infantile and late infantile neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis analysed all fell within the range defined by the controls.

<i>Sporothrix nivea</i> n. sp. — ein Methanol und Kohlenwasserstoffe verwertender Pilz (1985)

Two fungal strains of the genus Sporothrix, isolated from industrial waste water, were characterized with respect to some morphological and physiological properties. After comparison with other species of the genus Sporothrix, the fungal strains are described as Sporothrix nivea, n. sp. Among 28 carbon sources tested, such as sugars, polysaccharides, alcohols, organic acids, and hydrocarbons, 23 are utilized. The most remarkable property of Sporothrix nivea is the utilization of both n-alkanes and methanol.
Reverse engineering source polarization error (2005)

With the advent of the first immersion and hyper-NA exposure tools, source polarization quality will become a hot topic. At these oblique incident angles, unintentional source polarization could result in the intensity loss of diffraction orders possibly inducing resolution or process window loss. Measuring source polarization error on a production lithographic exposure tool is very cumbersome, but it is possible to reverse engineer any source error similarly to what has been accomplished with intensity error. As noted in the intensity maps from the source illumination, it is not safe to assume an ideal or binary source map, so model fitness is improved by emulating the real error. Likewise, by varying the source polarization types (TE, TM, Linear X and Linear Y) and ratios to obtain improved model fitness, one could deduce the residual source polarization error. This paper will show the resolution and process window gain from utilizing source polarization in immersion lithography. It will include a technique demonstrating how to extract source polarization error from empirical data using the Calibre model and will document the modeling inaccuracy from this error.
