Monitoring and Control of Robotized Laser Metal-Wire Deposition (2012)

The thesis gives a number of solutions towards full automation of the promising manufacturing technology Robotized Laser Metal-wire Deposition (RLMwD). RLMwD offers great cost and weight saving potentials in the manufacturing industry. By metal deposition is here meant a layered manufacturing technique that builds fully-dense structures by melting metal wire into solidifying beads, which are deposited side by side and layer upon layer. A major challenge for this technique to be industrially implemented is to ensure process stability and repeatability. The deposition process has shown to be extremely sensitive to the wire position and orientation relative to the melt pool and the deposition direction. Careful tuning of the deposition tool and process parameters are therefore important in order to obtain a stable process and defect-free deposits.Due to its recent development, the technique is still manually controlled in industry, and hence the quality of the produced parts relies mainly on the skills of the operator. The scientific challenge is therefore to develop the wire based deposition process to a level where material integrity and good geometrical fit can be guaranteed in an automated and repeatable fashion.This thesis presents the development of a system for on-line monitoring and control of the deposition process. A complete deposition cell consisting of an industrial robot arm, a novel deposition tool, a data acquisition system, and an operator interface has been developed within the scope of this work. A system for visual feedback from the melt pool allows an operator to control the process from outside the welding room. A novel approach for automatic deposition of the process based on Iterative Learning Control is implemented. The controller has been evaluated through deposition experiments, resembling real industrial applications. The results show that the automatic controller increases the stability of the deposition process and also outperforms a manual operator.The results obtained in this work give novel solutions to the important puzzle towards full automation of the RLMwD process, and full exploitation of its potentials.
Expression of NDRG2 is down-regulated in high-risk adenomas and colorectal carcinoma (2007)

Our results demonstrate that expression of NDRG2 is down-regulated at a late stage during colorectal carcinogenesis. Future studies are needed to address whether NDRG2 down-regulation is a cause or consequence of the progression of colorectal adenomas to carcinoma.
Isolation of Clostridium botulinum type G from Swiss soil specimens by using sequential steps in an identification scheme (1987)

After Clostridium botulinum type G organisms and toxin were identified in necropsy specimens in cases of unexplained death in adults and infants (O. Sonnabend, W. Sonnabend, R. Heinzle, T. Sigrist, R Dirnhofer, and U. Krech, J. Infect. Dis. 143:22-27, 1981), extensive research to detect C. botulinum type G in soil samples from Switzerland was done. A total of 41 specimens from virgin soil and from cultivated land were examined for the presence of C. botulinum type G and other toxin types. Because of the lack of the lipase marker in type G, the detection of C. botulinum type G was based on the demonstration of type G organisms in enrichment cultures by a type G-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect both the type G toxin and antigen; enrichment cultures in which type G toxin or antigen was identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were then tested by a type G-specific gel immunodiffusion agar procedure. This method not only isolated strains of type G but also strains of Clostridium subterminale, a nontoxigenic variant of C. botulinum type G. As a consequence of the observed cross-reactions caused by strains of C. subterminale within this test system, all isolates of type G had to be definitively confirmed by mouse bioassay. The sequential steps of these methods seem to be very useful for detecting C. botulinum type G organisms. C. botulinum type G strains were isolated in five soil samples from different locations in close association with cultivated land.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Sending-or-Not-Sending with Independent Lasers: Secure Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution over 509 km (2020)

Twin-field (TF) quantum key distribution (QKD) promises high key rates over long distances to beat the rate-distance limit. Here, applying the sending-or-not-sending TF QKD protocol, we experimentally demonstrate a secure key distribution that breaks the absolute key-rate limit of repeaterless QKD over a 509-km-long ultralow loss optical fiber. Two independent lasers are used as sources with remote-frequency-locking technique over the 500-km fiber distance. Practical optical fibers are used as the optical path with appropriate noise filtering; and finite-key effects are considered in the key-rate analysis. The secure key rate obtained at 509 km is more than seven times higher than the relative bound of repeaterless QKD for the same detection loss. The achieved secure key rate is also higher than that of a traditional QKD protocol running with a perfect repeaterless QKD device, even for an infinite number of sent pulses. Our result shows that the protocol and technologies applied in this experiment enable TF QKD to achieve a high secure key rate over a long distribution distance, and is therefore practically useful for field implementation of intercity QKD.

A computed model for quantitative evaluation of spasticity in man (2006)

In the present clinical fields, medical doctors mainly use modified ashworth scale (MAS) to evaluate spasticity. However, MAS is manual and qualitative method and results depend on doctors. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to quantitatively evaluate spasticity using a neuro-musculo-skeletal model. The proposed model consisted of the muscular activation model, variable viscoelastic model of the muscles, musculoskeletal model, muscle spindle model and alpha motoneuron model. This model could represent spasticity patient's knee pendulum well. A parameter related with sensitivity of the muscle spindle was a factor to evaluate spasticity quantity.
Nafion/Multi-wall Carbon Nanotubes Composite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode for Sensitive Determination of Bilirubin (2015)

A composite picture of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with Nafion (NF) cation exchange membrane is prepared by cast deposition on glassy carbon electrodes. A sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of bilirubin (BR) at the NF/MWCNTs hybrid modified glassy carbon electrode was offered. The electrochemical behaviors of bilirubin at the NF/MWCNTs hybrid electrode were studied in acetone containing sulfuric acid as the supporting electrolyte. Compared with bare glassy carbon electrode (GCE), the proposed integrated sensor, improved analytical performance characteristics in the electrochemical oxidation of bilirubin. The electrochemistry of bilirubin on NF/MWCNTs hybrid electrodes were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The oxidation peak current of bilirubin obtained at the NF/MWCNTs modified GC electrode was 10 times higher than that of the unmodified glassy carbon electrode. To optimize the experimental conditions, a linear calibration plot for bilirubin was obtained between 0.8 µM and 10 µM with the detection limit of 0.014 µM. Finally, the proposed sensor was successfully employed to determine bilirubin in human urine samples.

Fibroblast growth factor in the eye and prospects for its therapeutic use (1990)

Abstract Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) is a monomeric mitogenic protein that exists as an acidic and a basic form and is distributed widely in tissues of the eye. Because FGF interacts with the cells and with the extracellular matrix, it has potential as a therapeutic agent, either alone or in combination with other agents such as epidermal growth factor, in promoting healing of corneal wounds, in restoring corneal endothelial cell loss due to dystrophic, degenerative, and surgical insults, as well as in regenerating lens cells after cataract surgery. Excess FGF probably plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of blinding disorders of the eye such as neovascular glaucoma, age‐related macular degeneration, and proliferative diabetic vitreoretinopathy, as well as failure of surgical filtering procedures for glaucoma. The use of transforming growth factor‐beta, anti‐FGF antibodies, and other blocking agents in the treatment of such diseases seems logical.
Spin-Orbit Interaction in Carbon Nanotubes (2000)

An effective-mass Hamiltonian is derived for carbon nanotubes in the presence of a weak spin-orbit interaction. The spin-orbit interaction gives rise to terms corresponding to a kind of a spin-Zeeman energy due to magnetic fields in the circumference and axis direction. As a result spin scattering is induced even by spin-independent scatterers.
Proteomics Approaches towards Early Detection and Diagnosis of Cancer (2013)

Early stage detection of cancer is the key to provide a better outcome for therapeutic intervention. Most routine screening and diagnosis tools for cancer lack sufficient sensitivity and/or specificity and sometimes they are invasive. Proteomic technologies hold recently great promise in the search of new clinical biomarkers for the early detection and diagnosis of cancer as well as the discovery of new therapeutic targets from accessible bio-specimens. They also have the potential for contributing to the better understanding of cancer biology and helping in making the right therapeutic decisions for patients. Whereas some proteomic approaches, such as the ones used for identifying proteins and analyzing their interaction and function, are well established, others, such as protein expression profiling for biomarker discovery and validation, are still suffering from robustness and reproducibility issues before being able to have their clinical applications in cancer.
DNA-binding properties of the major structural protein of simian virus 40 (1986)

We investigated whether the VP1 protein of simian virus 40 binds to DNA. In vitro DNA-binding experiments clearly indicate that VP1 bound strongly to double-stranded and single-stranded DNA, with a higher affinity for the latter; additional experiments show that VP1 did not bind to a specific sequence of simian virus 40 DNA.
A Review of Lipoprotein Cholesterol Metabolism: Importance to Ovarian Function (1988)

Cholesterol utilized for steroid synthesis by ovarian tissue may be derived from de novo synthesis or cellular uptake of lipoprotein cholesterol. The majority of blood cholesterol is transported by either low (LDL) or high (HDL) density lipoproteins, depending on the animal species. Prior to vascularization, only HDL are in follicular fluid and contribute sterol to granulosa cells because other lipoproteins are unable to transverse the basement membrane due to their molecular masses. Following vascularization, both LDL and HDL bathe luteal cells. Most species preferentially use LDL cholesterol as a precursor for ovarian steroid synthesis. The LDL uptake by ovarian tissue occurs by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The receptor recognizes apolipoprotein B of LDL and apolipoprotein E found on some, but not all, HDL. Within a species, a positive relationship may exist between HDL apolipoprotein E content and importance of HDL cholesterol as a precursor for steroidogenesis. A "HDL pathway" exists for uptake of sterol from HDL void of apolipoprotein E. The HDL receptor exhibits broad binding specificity. Unlike LDL, the HDL particle is not internalized, and cholesterol preferentially is taken up relative to other HDL constituents. In most species, lipoproteins, rather than de novo synthesis from acetate, contribute the majority of cholesterol used for steroid production. Trophic hormones increase lipoprotein binding, internalization, degradation and conversion of lipoprotein-derived sterol to steroids, effects that are mediate through cyclic adenosine monophosphate. Knowledge recently acquired regarding lipoprotein sterol utilization by the ovary may be useful in developing nutritional, pharmacological or endocrine manipulations that may positively affect cholesterol clearance by the ovary, steroidogenesis and reproductive performance.
Humidity effects on lubricant transfer in the head-disk interface of a hard disk drive (2009)

As head-media spacing decreases down to 10nm in the current hard disk drive systems, interaction of lubricant on the disk with a flying slider becomes increasingly important. With this extremely small spacing, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity influence the interaction in the head-disk interface and lubricant transfer between the disk surface and the slider surface. This paper describes a systematic and quantitative study on humidity effects on the amount of lubricant transfer between the disk surface and the slider surface. The lubricant transfer was proportional to absolute humidity, absolute amount of water in the system, rather than relative humidity alone. Profiles of depleted lubricant layer on the disk surface also showed that the increase in the amount of transferred lubricant was directly related to the increase in the mobility of the lubricant with higher absolute humidity rather than with relative humidity alone.
A Novel Nature-Inspired Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Controller Based on SSA-GWO Algorithm for Partially Shaded Photovoltaic Systems (2019)

To overcome the real-time problem of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for partially shaded photovoltaic (PV) systems, a novel nature-inspired MPPT controller with fast convergence and high accuracy is proposed in this paper. The proposed MPPT controller is achieved by combining salp swarm algorithm (SSA) with grey wolf optimizer (GWO) (namely, SSA-GWO). The leader structure of the GWO algorithm is introduced into the basic SSA algorithm to enhance the global search capability. Numerical simulation on 13 benchmark functions was done to evaluate the proposed SSA-GWO algorithm. Finally, the MPPT performance on PV system with the proposed SSA-GWO algorithm under static and dynamic partial shading conditions was investigated and compared with conventional MPPT algorithms. The quantitative and simulation results validated the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
Swinburne Shapes His Grand Passion: A Version by ‘Ashford Owen.’ (1993)

"That a blighted love lies at the heart of many of Swinburne's works has long impelled scholars and biographers to search for details as to the who, the where, and the when of the affair. The first candidate was nomi- nated by Edmund Gosse and Thomas James Wise and was supposed to be a young miss, a Jane "Boo" Faulkner. Her candidacy, however, withered under the scrutiny of John Mayfield and Cecil Y. Lang, and a substitute was found: the poet's first cousin Mary Charlotte Julia Gordon Leith (1840-1926), a writer who married a military man, Col. Robert William Disney Leith, and whose suggestive correspondence with Swinburne flourished after her husband died in 1892..."

A practical and reliable communication protocol was chooseed for historical data backfill and events restoration. And communication protocol testing was also realized in this paper.
A Useful Synthesis of Chiral Glyoxylates (1990)

Abstract A convenient synthesis of the cyclohexyl, (1R,3R,4S)-3-P-menthyl and (15-endo)-2-bomyl glyoxylates, from the respective alcohols and other very available materials, as a model applicable to that of other chiral, sensitive giyoxylates, is described.
Lubrication in Synovial Joints (1963)

The theories of lubrication were reviewed and it was concluded that neither the hydrodynamic theory nor the boundary theory permits an adequate description and explanation of lubrication in synovial joints. It is suggested, in principle, that joint lubrication depends on the existence of a thixotropic and elastic fluid between the articular surfaces, that the area of the load-carrying film depends on the elasticity of cartilage, and that the velocity gradient existing in the gap between articular surfaces depends also on the lateral deformation of these surfaces. Synovial fluid has thixotropic and elastic (instantaneous dilatant) properties. Its viscosity decreases with an increase in the rate of movement, but it is pressure-resistant under sudded impact. Owing to its viscoelastic properties (that is, normal stress effect) and to its affinity to the cartilage surfaces, it cannot be squeezed out from between the opposing surfaces. If, however, synovial fluid undergoes any change and acquires Newtonian characteristics, it may be squeezed out and it is no longer capable of carrying a constant load at all rates of movement. Such changes in the synovial fluid result in damage to the articular surfaces since the elasticity of the cartilage and the slippery characteristics of the cartilage would not be sufficient to prevent increased friction. On the other hand, synovial fluid per se is not sufficient to maintain efficient lubrication. The resiliency and the time-dependent and stress-dependent elasticity of cartilage play an important role. When the cartilage degenerates or disappears, the synovial fluid undergoes mechanochemical degradation. The proposed outline of lubrication in synovial joints explains the interdependence of synovial fluid and articular surfaces and may serve as a basis for a more fundamental study of joint lubrication in health and disease.
Uptake and processing of biofilm and free-cell vaccines of Aeromonas hydrophila in Indian major carps and common carp following oral vaccination-antigen localization by a monoclonal antibody (2000)

Uptake and processing of biofilm (BF) and free-cell (FC) vaccines of Aeromonas hydrophila were studied in the Indian major carps catla Catla catla, and rohu Labeo rohita and in the common carp Cyprinus carpio following a single dose oral vaccination of 10(11) CFU g(-1) fish. Fish were sampled at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h and at 2, 3, 5 and 10 d following vaccination and antigen localization was studied in the gut, kidney and spleen employing monoclonal antibody based immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase. The general pattern of antigen localization was similar in catla, rohu and common carp. Initially, both the BF and FC antigens were localized in the gut lumen, followed by their uptake by intraepithelial vacuoles and macrophages. Antigen administered orally was also seen in the spleen and kidney. Both BF and FC antigens were detected in the gut lumen of carp within 30 min following oral delivery. However, BF antigen remained in the lumen of the hindgut for 48 h compared to 6 h in the case of FC antigen. In the early stages, BF antigen was localized in the gut epithelial vacuoles while FC antigen was associated with the small macrophages of the hindgut. Antigen localization in spleen and kidney was observed at 3 h and persisted even up to 10 d following oral delivery. In general, there was a distinct difference between BF and FC vaccines in the duration of retention and quantity of uptake in the gut, kidney and spleen.
Partial lifetime control in IGBT by helium irradiation through mask patterns (2002)

Partial lifetime control for IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors) performed by irradiated helium ions through a stainless steel mask is studied. This control technique localizes the presence of carrier recombination centers in the lateral direction as well as in depth profile. Using this technique, one can obtain better trade-off curves between on-state voltage and turn-off loss compared with maskless irradiation. Turn-off loss is reduced to 41% of that in the case of maskless irradiation at the same on-state voltage.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Added values of photovoltaic systems (2003)

Photovoltaics are unique among energy technologies in their ability to generate electricity at any location silently and motionlessly. In addition they can be designed with a variety of appearances to fit into a wide range of building structures. As a result photovoltaics can offer many added values in addition to their basic role as electricity generation devices. This paper assesses developments in a number of new PV applications that add extra values to PV systems by providing a range of benefits and functions that reflect values important to customers. It is proposed that these innovative 'added-value' applications can expand the market for PV rapidly and open up whole new areas for development of the PV market.
