The array antenna consists of the slot-coupled microstrip patch antennas whose weights are controlled by optically induced semiconductor plasma. The plasma densities an determined by the GA, and the validity for the null steering and beam forming technique was shown.
Transmission of optical communication signals by distributed parametric amplification (2005)

For the first time, to the authors' knowledge, distributed parametric amplification (DPA), i.e., the use of a transmission fiber itself for parametric amplification of communication signals is proposed and demonstrated. To account for the inevitable fiber loss, solutions were derived for the distributed amplifier, with either one or two pumps: They are obtained in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. Low-penalty DPA of a 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) signal over a 75-km dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF), is demonstrated by using only 66.5 mW of pump power. Three adjacent channels have been simultaneously transmitted, with little penalty due to nonlinear crosstalk. It is experimentally verified that DPA requires less pump power than distributed Raman amplification (DRA), for similar power penalties.

<title>Diagnostics Of Turbulence By Holography</title> (1977)

Methods for applying holographic interferometry in the study of turbulence are described. Examples of the effect of various types of turbulent cells on an optical wavefront are presented. Finally, a relatively new technique in which phase control on the two mixed reconstructed waves is discussed. It is concluded that the technique can ultimately provide an extremely high sensitivity for the viewing of phase objects and can provide the basis of automated data reduction based on heterodyne interferometry.
Upgrading Furfurals to Drop-in Biofuels: An Overview (2015)

Biomass is a promising feedstock for the next generation drop-in liquid fuels and renewable chemicals, and hence the development of economically viable technologies for the production of commodity and specialty chemicals from sustainable biomass have received significant attention in recent years. Although biomass transformation into drop-in biofuels involves multiple processing steps in which biomass is first depolymerized and converted to furfurals (5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural), catalytic upgrading of furfurals is the most important step in achieving end products of the desired fuel properties. Several research papers have been published in the past decade reporting homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic processes for upgrading furfurals to relevant drop-in fuel candidates such as, 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), 2-methylfuran (2-MF), 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF), γ-valerolactone (GVL), ethyl levulinate and long chain hydrocarbon alkanes. Although process technologies for the production and upgrading of some of these fuel compounds have been reviewed, a concise overview on production methodologies for all relevant furan based fuel compounds, including long chain hydrocarbon alkanes, from furfurals is worth publishing for further advancement. This perspective article is aimed at presenting an up to date analysis of the reported catalytic technologies for upgrading furfurals into long chain hydrocarbons with special emphasis on the condensation reactions for producing high carbon chain precursors and catalytic systems for their subsequent deoxygenation to achieve high yield and selectivity in fuel grade hydrocarbons. The current state-of-the-art on upgrading furfurals to DMF, 2-MF and EMF are also analyzed.
Numerical and Experimental Flow Studies of Idealized Aircraft Cabins (2004)

For two different types of cabins of modern mega liners, passenger cabins and sleeping bunks, generic configurations have been investigated numerically by means of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computations and experimentally by particle image velocimetry (PIV) as well as thermography. In order to study the flow of fresh air along the luggage compartment, the real aircraft cabin has been reduced to the wider region around this compartment. From the crew rest compartments one single person sleeping bunk was considered. Comparisons between computations and measurements indicates that higher value low Reynolds number turbulence models are suited best to predict the complex 3D flow with separation.

Advanced Algorithms for Seismic Modeling Applications. (1999)

The accuracy of an artifical Neural network (ANN) algorithm is a crucial issue in the estimation of an oil field's reservoir properties from the log and seismic data. This paper demonstrates the use of the k-fold cross validation technique to obtain confidence bounds on an ANN's accuracy statistic from a finite sample set.
Color-Tunable Transparent Mesoporous Silica Films: Immobilization of One-Dimensional Columnar Charge-Transfer Assemblies in Aligned Silicate Nanochannels (2002)

Physical stabilization of triphenylene-based charge-transfer complexes by hexagonally aligned silica channels enables the preparation of color-tunable, highly transparent mesoporous silica films (see picture). The donor/acceptor molar ratio was varied over a wide range (1:1 to 9:1) with the included charge-transfer complexes exhibiting unique red-shifted absorption bands.

Three Oligopeptide-binding Proteins Are Involved in the Oligopeptide Transport of Streptococcus thermophilus (2002)

The functions necessary for bacterial growth strongly depend on the features of the bacteria and the components of the growth media. Our objective was to identify the functions essential to the optimum growth of Streptococcus thermophilus in milk. Using random insertional mutagenesis on a S. thermophilus strain chosen for its ability to grow rapidly in milk, we obtained several mutants incapable of rapid growth in milk. We isolated and characterized one of these mutants in which an amiA1 gene encoding an oligopeptide-binding protein (OBP) was interrupted. This gene was a part of an operon containing all the components of an ATP binding cassette transporter. Three highly homologous amiA genes encoding OBPs work with the same components of the ATP transport system. Their simultaneous inactivation led to a drastic diminution in the growth rate in milk and the absence of growth in chemically defined medium containing peptides as the nitrogen source. We constructed single and multiple negative mutants for AmiAs and cell wall proteinase (PrtS), the only proteinase capable of hydrolyzing casein oligopeptides outside the cell. Growth experiments in chemically defined medium containing peptides indicated that AmiA1, AmiA2, and AmiA3 exhibited overlapping substrate specificities, and that the whole system allows the transport of peptides containing from 3 to 23 residues.
DUV inspection capability for 90-nm node mask in ArF lithography (2003)

As the ArF lithography technology is going to progress to 90nm node from 130nm node, it has been more difficult to inspect all types of mask defects, which influence wafer. Photomask for 90nm node, the aggressive OPC mask and Phase Shift Mask (PSM) might be inevitable in production devices due to the slow progresses in lithography equipment itself compared to shrinkage speed in device manufacturing. Recently, due to the similiar effect such like MEEF (Mask Error Enhancement Factor) phenomenon many mask defects become to detect difficult even printable defects even the lots of improvements mask inspection equipments. In this paper, we will present the inspection capability of advanced DUV inspection tool LM7000 (NEC) with various programmed defect masks (e.g. aggressive OPC masks, half-tone PSM, tri-tone PSM) with, and discuss the relationship between inspection sensitivity and mask defect printability.
Asymmetric Retro‐Henry Reaction Catalyzed by Hydroxynitrile Lyase from <i>Hevea brasiliensis</i> (2010)

Abstract Hydroxynitrile lyase from Hevea brasiliensis ( Hb HNL) is a promiscuous biocatalyst that, besides the native cyanohydrin reaction, also catalyzes the asymmetric Henry reaction yielding ( S )‐β‐nitroalcohols with high enantiomeric excess. Since the Henry reaction is reversible, the enzyme can be also utilized for the production ( R )‐enantiomers by means of resolution of racemic β‐nitroalcohols. Herein the biocatalytic retro‐Henry reaction is studied using the cleavage of 2‐nitro‐1‐phenylethanol as a model system. The main problem that prevents high levels of conversion or high ee values during the cleavage of the β‐nitroalcohol is the formation of benzaldehyde, which is known to be a strong enzyme inhibitor. The product inhibition is overcome by performing the biocatalytic retro‐Henry reaction in the presence of HCN, which reacts in situ with benzaldehyde and converts it to the less‐inhibitive mandelonitrile. By using such a reaction cascade, it was possible to conduct the resolution practically to completion (95 % ee , 49 % conversion). Furthermore, the catalyst productivity achieved during the resolution was ten times higher than that in the Hb HNL‐catalyzed synthesis of ( S )‐2‐nitro‐1‐phenylethanol by condensation of benzaldehyde and nitromethane.
Adenovirus Protein VII Condenses DNA, Represses Transcription, and Associates with Transcriptional Activator E1A (2004)

Adenovirus protein VII is the major protein component of the viral nucleoprotein core. It is highly basic, and an estimated 1070 copies associate with each viral genome, forming a tightly condensed DNA-protein complex. We have investigated DNA condensation, transcriptional repression, and specific protein binding by protein VII. Xenopus oocytes were microinjected with mRNA encoding HA-tagged protein VII and prepared for visualization of lampbrush chromosomes. Immunostaining revealed that protein VII associated in a uniform manner across entire chromosomes. Furthermore, the chromosomes were significantly condensed and transcriptionally silenced, as judged by the dramatic disappearance of transcription loops characteristic of lampbrush chromosomes. During infection, the protein VII-DNA complex may be the initial substrate for transcriptional activation by cellular factors and the viral E1A protein. To investigate this possibility, mRNAs encoding E1A and protein VII were comicroinjected into Xenopus oocytes. Interestingly, whereas E1A did not associate with chromosomes in the absence of protein VII, expression of both proteins together resulted in significant association of E1A with lampbrush chromosomes. Binding studies with proteins produced in bacteria or human cells or by in vitro translation showed that E1A and protein VII can interact in vitro. Structure-function analysis revealed that an N-terminal region of E1A is responsible for binding to protein VII. These studies define the in vivo functions of protein VII in DNA binding, condensation, and transcriptional repression and indicate a role in E1A-mediated transcriptional activation of viral genes.

Hierarchical Structuring in Block Copolymer Nanocomposites through Two Phase‐Separation Processes Operating on Different Time Scales (2013)

Abstract Tailoring the size and surface chemistry of nanoparticles allows one to control their position in a block copolymer, but this is usually limited to one‐dimensional distribution across domains. Here, the hierarchical assembly of poly(ethylene oxide)‐stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au‐PEO) into hexagonally packed clusters inside mesostructured ultrathin films of polystyrene‐ block ‐poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS‐ b ‐PMMA) is described. A close examination of the structural evolution at different nanoparticle filling fractions and PEO ligand molecular weights suggests that the mechanism leading to this structure‐within‐structure is the existence of two phase separation processes operating on different time scales. The length of the PEO ligand is shown to influence not only the interparticle distances but also the phase separation processes. These conclusions are supported by novel mesoscopic simulations, which provide additional insight into the kinetic and thermodynamic factors that are responsible for this behavior.
Biological Control of Postharvest Diseases of Citrus and Deciduous Fruit (1991)

The objectives of this research were to develop control measures of postharvest diseases of citrus and deciduous fruits by using naturally-occurring, non-antibiotic-producing antagonists; study the mode of action of effective antagonists and optimize their application methods. Several antagonists were found against a variety of diseases of fruits and vegetables. One particularly effective yeast antagonist (US-7) was chosen for more in-depth studies. This antagonist outcompetes rot pathogens at the wound site for nutrients and space; it is better adapted than the pathogen to extreme environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and osmotic changes, and is relatively resistant to common postharvest fungicides. Our data suggests that other modes of action may also be involved. These are induction of host resistance by the antagonists or its products, and direct interaction between the antagonists and the pathogen with the possible involvement of an extracellular material and/or cell wall degrading enzymes produced by the antagonist. However, these interactions were not fully elucidated. The antagonistic activity of US-7 and other biocontrol agents isolated, was enhanced by calcium salts. While the mode of action is not known, the addition of these salts had a significant effect both in laboratory experiments and in large-scale tests. Compatibility of the yeast antagonist with present packinghouse treatments and procedures was determined. An integrated control procedure was developed, utilizing the antagonists together with ultra-low dosages of fungicides and activity-enhancing additives. This cooperative research resulted in numerous publications describing the antagonistic agents. their mode of action and possible commercial application. Patents were developed from this research and a commercial company is pursuing the licensing of these patents and the testing of the procedure on a commercial scale. Our research findings have expanded the potential for using non-antibiotic-producing antagonistic microorganisms in the control of postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables; thus meeting a critical need to find alternatives to the use of synthetic fungicides on food products.
Current-fed three-phase and voltage-fed three-phase active converters with optimum PWM pattern scheme and their performance evaluations (1999)

This paper describes a new approach to select the optimum sinewave pulsewidth modulation (PWM) patterns suitable for a large-capacity current-fed active PWM power converter and a practical design procedure to determine circuit constants of a low-pass filter connected to suppress higher line current harmonics flowing into the utility-grid AC power source. A feasible test is implemented by building a prototype 500 kW three-phase current-fed PWM power converter which is designed and controlled on the basis of the proposed considerations. It is verified from a practical point of view that these new conceptual considerations are more effective and acceptable to minimize higher harmonic current components flowing into the utility-grid AC power source. This experimental setup provides highly efficient steady-state characteristics of the current-fed three-phase PWM power converter under the operating condition of a unity power factor correction and sinewave line current shaping schemes. Furthermore, this unique optimum PWM pattern derived from the theoretical method proposed here is conveniently applicable to a voltage-fed three-phase PWM converter. It is verified that this optimum PWM pattern provides excellent switching performance with a lower switching frequency mode than the conventional carrier-based PWM scheme.

TELMA : Telephony for the Hearing-Impaired People. From Models to User Tests (2007)

Opening the New Technologies of Information and Communication to the disabled people is a question of increasing interest nowadays. The TELMA project aims at developing software and hardware bricks for a telecommunication terminal (cellular phone) for hearing impaired users. This terminal will be augmented with original audiovisual functionalities. More specifically, the TELMA terminal will exploit the visual modality of speech in two main tasks. On the one hand, visual speech information is used to improve speech enhancement techniques in adverse environment (environmental noise reduction enables the hearing-impaired to better exploit his/her residual acoustic abilities). On the other hand, the terminal will provide analysis/synthesis of lip movements and Cued Speech gestures. The Cued Speech is a face-to-face communication method used by a part of the oralist hearing-impaired community. It is based on the association of lip shapes with cues formed by the hand at specific locations. The TELMA terminal will translate lipreading + Cued Speech towards acoustic speech, and vice- versa, so that hearing-impaired people can communicate between them and with normal hearing people through telephone networks. To associate scientific developments, economic perspectives and efficient integration of disabled people concerns, the project is build on a partnership between universities (INPG and ENST), industrial/service company (France Telecom, R&D division) and potential users from the hearing-impaired community, under the supervision of health professionals (Grenoble Hospital Center / ORL).

Seismic recording at the Los Medanos area of Southeastern New Mexico, 1974-1975 (1976)

Septicemia remains a major cause of hospital mortality. Blood culture remains the best approach to identify the etiological microorganisms when a bloodstream infection is suspected but it takes long time because it relies on bacterial or fungal growth. The introduction in clinical microbiology laboratories of the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry technology, DNA hybridization, microarrays or rapid PCR-based test significantly reduce the time to results. Tests for direct detection in whole blood samples are highly desirable because of their potential to identify bloodstream pathogens without waiting for blood cultures to become positive. Nonetheless, limitations of current molecular diagnostic methods are substantial. This article reviews these new molecular approaches (LightCycler SeptiFast, Magicplex sepsis real time, Septitest, VYOO, PCR/ESI-MS analysis, T2Candida).
Physics of nanoplatforms and their applications in nanomanufacturing and nanomedicine (2009)

Nanoplatforms are nanoscale structures designed as general platforms for multi-functional nanotechnology applications. Applications of nanotechnology cover broad spectrum of research fields and require true interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies. It also requires a fundamental understanding of physical principles in nanoscale since nanomaterials exhibit different properties and experience distinct forces compared to the materials in macroscale. In this thesis, we studied two different nanoplatforms, namely nanoporous oxide coatings and superparamagnetic nanoparticles. We analyzed their physical properties and illustrated their applications in two different fields, nanomanufacturing and nanomedicine.
