Theoretical Investigation of Material Characteristics of Semiconductor Superlattices. (1985)

In the last six months that we had this contract we have been able to initiate all phases of the proposed work, making substantial progress on a number of research areas covering the many different aspects of the contract. In particular, we have written nine papers (six of which have already been published or accepted for publication) and have submitted seven abstracts to conferences. We have done enough work for several more publications and these papers are in preparation. We also plan to submit three papers to the upcoming 2nd International Conference on Metastable and Modulated Semiconductor Structures (September 1985 in Japan) and three papers to the upcoming 6th International Conference on Electronic Properties of Two Dimensional Systems (September 1985).
The Use of Sulfasalazine in Atrophie Blanche (1990)

Atrophie blanche can be a chronic condition for which there is no satisfactory treatment. Two patients with atrophie blanche who had not responded to various therapeutic modalities were given a trial of sulfasalazine 1 g three times daily. The ulcers healed within 3 months in both cases. In view of these positive results, patients should be treated with sulfasalazine to determine the efficacy of this drug in atrophie blanche.

Integrin-mediated Signals Regulated by Members of the Rho Family of GTPases (1998)

The organization of the actin cytoskeleton can be regulated by soluble factors that trigger signal transduction events involving the Rho family of GTPases. Since adhesive interactions are also capable of organizing the actin-based cytoskeleton, we examined the role of Cdc42-, Rac-, and Rho-dependent signaling pathways in regulating the cytoskeleton during integrin-mediated adhesion and cell spreading using dominant-inhibitory mutants of these GTPases. When Rat1 cells initially adhere to the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin, punctate focal complexes form at the cell periphery. Concomitant with focal complex formation, we observed some phosphorylation of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src, which occurred independently of Rho family GTPases. However, subsequent phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin occurs in a Rho-dependent manner. Moreover, we found Rho dependence of the assembly of large focal adhesions from which actin stress fibers radiate. Initial adhesion to fibronectin also stimulates membrane ruffling; we show that this ruffling is independent of Rho but is dependent on both Cdc42 and Rac. Furthermore, we observed that Cdc42 controls the integrin-dependent activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 and of Akt, a kinase whose activity has been demonstrated to be dependent on phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase. Since Rac-dependent membrane ruffling can be stimulated by PI 3-kinase, it appears that Cdc42, PI 3-kinase, and Rac lie on a distinct pathway that regulates adhesion-induced membrane ruffling. In contrast to the differential regulation of integrin-mediated signaling by Cdc42, Rac, and Rho, we observed that all three GTPases regulate cell spreading, an event that may indirectly control cellular architecture. Therefore, several separable signaling pathways regulated by different members of the Rho family of GTPases converge to control adhesion-dependent changes in the organization of the cytoskeleton, changes that regulate cell morphology and behavior.
Differential Effects of GABA<sub>A</sub>Receptor Antagonists in the Control of Respiratory Neuronal Discharge Patterns (1998)

To ascertain the role of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in shaping and controlling the phasic discharge patterns of medullary respiratory premotor neurons, localized pressure applications of the competitive GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline (BIC) and the noncompetitive GABAA receptor antagonist picrotoxin (PIC) were studied. Multibarrel micropipettes were used in halothane anesthetized, paralyzed, ventilated, vagotomized dogs to record single unit activity from inspiratory and expiratory neurons in the caudal ventral respiratory group and to picoeject GABAA receptor antagonists. The moving time average of phrenic nerve activity was used to determine respiratory phase durations and to synchronize cycle-triggered histograms of discharge patterns. Picoejection of BIC and PIC had qualitatively different effects on the discharge patterns of respiratory neurons. BIC caused an increase in the discharge rate during the neuron's active phase without inducing activity during the neuron's normally silent phase. The resulting discharge patterns were amplified replicas (x2-3) of the underlying preejection phasic patterns. In contrast, picoejection of PIC did not increase the peak discharge rate during the neuron's active phase but induced a tonic level of activity during the neuron's normally silent phase. The maximum effective BIC dose (15 +/- 1.8 pmol/min) was considerably smaller than that for PIC (280 +/- 53 pmol/min). These findings suggest that GABAA receptors with differential pharmacology mediate distinct functions within the same neuron, 1) gain modulation that is BIC sensitive but PIC insensitive and 2) silent-phase inhibition blocked by PIC. These studies also suggest that the choice of an antagonist is an important consideration in the determination of GABA receptor function within the respiratory motor control system.
Fairness and False-Name Manipulations in Randomized Cake Cutting (2015)

Cake cutting has been recognized as a fundamental model in fair division and several envy-free cake cutting algorithms have been proposed Recent works from the computer science field proposed novel mechanisms for cake cutting, whose approaches are based on the theory of mechanism design; these mechanisms are strategy-proof, i.e., no agent has any incentive to misrepresent her utility function, as well as envy-free. We consider a different type of manipulations; each agent might create fake identities to cheat the mechanism. Such manipulation have been called Sybils or false-name manipulations, and designing robust mechanisms against them, i.e., false-name-proof, is a challenging problem in mechanism design literature. We first show that no randomized false-name-proof cake cutting mechanism simultaneously satisfies ex-post envy-freeness and Pareto efficiency We then propose a new randomized mechanism that is optimal in terms of worst-case loss among those that satisfy false-name-proofness, ex-post envy-freeness, and a new weaker efficiency property. However, it reduces the amount of allocations for an agent exponentially with respect to the number of agents. To overcome this negative result, we provide another new cake cutting mechanism that satisfies a weaker notion of false-name-proofness, as well as ex-post envy freeness and Pareto efficiency.
A FEASIBILITY STUDY: SCATTERING OF ELECTRONS BY IONS, ATOMS, AND MOLECULES. Scientific Report No. II (1959)

The experimental determination of electron differential scattering cross sections is considered in the light of recently developed experimental techniques. A high intensity ion source operated in conjunction with a charge exchange cell can provide, in the form of a fast (0.1 to 5.0 kev) beam, a large variety of scattering media. The density of such beams is low but the use of modern vacuum techniques together with modulation of both the atom beam and the election beam allows selection of desired scattering events from a host of background events. Low dispersion electron beams with energies down to 1 ev obtained from an SRIdeveloped electron gun will allow detailed investigation of the low energy region. A measurement of the differential elastic scattering cross section of 1 to 10 ev electrons from atomic oxygen and nitrogen appears feasible with these techniques. The techniques should be applicable to the study of a broad field of low energy electron interactions with atomic systems. (auth)
ONR C-IED STIFLE (Stigmergic Tracking of IED Factories, Locations and Events (2009)

Abstract : The STIFLE project, funded by the ONR Counter-IED Basic Research program, has three major objectives, which are reflected in the three main tracks of our project execution: (1) Enhanced Representations Track: Extend the predictive polyagent modeling construct to include explicit reasoning over task execution by individuals and groups; (2) Model Analysis Track: Develop theoretical, formal and experimental analysis tools and methods to characterize and influence the dynamics of predictive polyagent models; (3) Prediction Prototype Track: Apply the extended modeling and analysis capabilities to the problem of IED prediction and forensics Towards the first objective, collaborated with Prof. Keith Decker (University of Delaware) to integrate our polyagent modeling approach within the TAEMS framework, a formal representation and reasoning mechanism for hierarchical task networks. Together with Prof. Bob Savit (University of Michigan), we explored various approaches to formally describe and analyze our predictive polyagent models in support of the second objective. Finally, our development and experimental analysis of alternative polyagent models of IED emplacement (based on initial models and a framework supported by the DARPA RAID adversarial reasoning module) supported the third objective.

ARC: A pipeline approach enabling large-scale graph visualization (2016)

When working with a high volume relational database, is it possible to effectively provide a compact visualization of the tuples in that database? Data visualization techniques very often scale poorly with input volume, hindering attempts at providing a responsive, full picture of the relationships within data. We introduce a method of efficiently visualizing millions of tuples in a two-dimensional constrained space, providing a method for data to be visually analyzed at the tuple level. We achieve this by applying a physics simulation on an embedded network, positioning tuples according to their representative node.
Hardware implementation of an electrostatic MEMS-actuator linearization (2011)

In this paper, an electrostatic actuator linearization will be introduced, which is based on an existing hardware-efficient iterative square root algorithm. The algorithm is solely based on add and shift operations while just needing n/2 iterations for an n bit wide input signal. As a practical example, the nonlinear input transformation will be utilized for the design of the primary mode controller of a capacitive MEMS gyroscope and an implementation of the algorithm in the Verilog hardware description language will be instantiated. Finally, measurement results will validate the feasibility of the presented control concept and its hardware implementation.
Sulfonylureas Rapidly Cross Phospholipid Bilayer Membranes by a Free-Diffusion Mechanism (2003)

Because sulfonylureas directly activate the exocytotic machinery, we were interested in the extent to which these compounds penetrate the beta-cell plasma membrane and the underlying molecular mechanism(s). We now provide evidence that sulfonylureas cross phospholipid bilayer membranes rapidly and effectively by a free-diffusion mechanism. Two sulfonylurea compounds investigated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, glibenclamide and tolbutamide, were found to incorporate into phospholipid bilayers, with the ionizable sulfonamide exposed to the aqueous interface and its apparent dissociation constant (pKa) increased to approximately 7.0. Diffusion of weak amphiphilic acids across membranes is associated with a measurable change in pH. Thus, by using a fluorescence-based pH assay, we could investigate the diffusion of sulfonylurea compounds across phospholipid bilayer membranes. A fluorescent pH indicator (pyranin or [2',7'-bis (2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein] [BCECF]) was trapped in egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Addition of glibenclamide decreased internal pH (pHin), and addition of albumin reversed this drop by 50%. With the same amount of tolbutamide, the decrease in pHin was much smaller, primarily because of the lower partitioning of tolbutamide into phospholipid bilayers. Using similar protocols, we also demonstrated diffusion by the same mechanism across the beta-cell plasma membrane. Thus, we now provide a molecular mechanism by which sulfonylureas can penetrate the plasma membrane and reach intracellular sites regulating exocytosis.

Alcohol Suppresses IL-2-Induced CC Chemokine Production by Natural Killer Cells (2005)

Alcohol, through the inhibition of IL-2-induced NF-kappaB p65 protein expression and intracellular calcium mobilization, suppressed NK cell production of CC chemokines. This suppression of CC chemokine production was associated with diminished anti-HIV activity of NK cells. Thus, by inhibiting NK cell-mediated innate immunity against HIV, alcohol consumption may have a cofactor role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV disease.

Access to Two-Photon QED Contributions via 2s 2S12?2p 2P12 Transitions in Heavy Li-Like Ions (2001)

Wavelengths of the 2s 2S1/2–2p 2P1/2 fine structure transition in lithium-like ions in the medium heavy Z range have been measured using beam foil excitation and grazing incidence spectroscopy. The achieved precision of 70 ppm allows for a 0.1% QED test which establishes a new benchmark. It provides sensitivity to two-photon QED contributions. Very good agreement with the newest calculations based on hydrogenic wave functions and applying a strict QED formalism is observed. All accurate published data along the isoelectronic Li-like series for Z > 20 are summarized. Their values and their accuracies are compared to the calculations and to the relative QED contributions, respectively.
Advanced-Stage Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Restaging System after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy on the Basis of MR Imaging Determines Survival (2016)

Purpose To evaluate the prognostic value of the restaging system after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in patients with advanced-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Materials and Methods This study was approved by the clinical research committee and a written informed consent was required before enrolling in the study. Prospectively enrolled were 412 consecutive patients with stage III-IVb NPC treated with NACT followed by concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Patients were staged before NACT and restaged after NACT. The progression-free survival (PFS) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences were compared by using the log-rank test. Results Post-NACT T classification (PFS, P = .001) and N classification (PFS, P < .001; DMFS, P = .001) resulted in better survival curve separations than pre-NACT T classification and N classification. Patients downstaged from N2-N3 to N0-N1 disease had a better prognosis than did patients who continued to have N2-N3 diseases (3-year PFS, 83.8% vs 66.6%, P = .001; 3-year DMFS, 88.0% vs 78.4%, P = .026). Multivariate analysis revealed that post-NACT T classification (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18, 2.36; P = .003) and post-NACT N classification (HR = 1.54; 95% CI: 1.17, 2.03; P = .002) were independent prognostic factors for PFS; also, post-NACT N classification (HR = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.05, 2.07; P = .025) was an independent prognostic factor for DMFS. Multivariate analysis in patients with N2-N3 disease demonstrated that the N downstaging effects of NACT was the only independent prognostic factor for PFS (HR = 0.48; 95% CI: 0.29, 0.81; P = .006) and DMFS (HR = 0.52; 95% CI: 0.28, 0.97; P = .039). Conclusion The post-NACT stage is more representative of prognosis than the pre-NACT stage in advanced-stage NPC patients, which suggests that major clinical decisions should be based on the post-NACT stage. <sup>©</sup> RSNA, 2016 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
Novel configuration of multiwavelength mode-locked fiber lasers using fiber Bragg gratings (1998)

Summary form only given. A novel configuration of multiwavelength operation of a mode-locked fiber laser using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) was successfully demonstrated. Compared with previous configurations, this scheme has the following advantages: (1) because the light components of all wavelengths selected by the FBGs travel the same route, the cavity lengths for those wavelengths are equal automatically; (2) only one cavity length stabilizing feedback system is needed to achieve stable output pulses; (3) multiple FBGs can be directly cascaded in the laser cavity to select the desired wavelengths.
