Multipactor discharge on a dielectric (2002)

This paper proposes a novel theory of a single-surface multipactor discharge on a dielectric, such as an RF window. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, we obtain the susceptibility diagram, applicable to a wide range of materials, in terms of the RF electric field and of the DC electric field that may result from dielectric charging. The electron multiplication mechanism assumes realistic yield curves of secondary electrons, including distributions of emission velocities and angles for these electrons. The susceptibility diagram thus constructed allows an immediate assessment of the range of RF power over which multipactor may be expected to occur. A simple analytic theory which corroborates the simulation results is presented.
Phase Separation in an SiCO Glass Studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy and Electron Energy‐Loss Spectroscopy (2001)

SiCO glasses prepared from sol–gel precursors via pyrolysis in argon at temperatures ranging from 1000° to 1400°C were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in conjunction with electron energy‐loss spectroscopy (EELS). EELS analysis showed that stoichiometric SiCO glass underwent phase separation, forming SiO 2 ‐ and SiC‐based environments. This process started at ∼1200°C. However, at temperatures >1300°C, precipitation of nanometer‐sized SiC particles embedded in vitreous SiO 2 was monitored by high‐resolution TEM.

Co/Al2O3/Co magnetic tunnel junctions with an interfacial Cu layer have been investigated with in situ growth characterization and ex situ magnetotransport measurements. Cu interlayers grown on Co give an approximately exponential decay of the tunneling magnetoresistance with xi approximately 0.26 nm while those grown on Al2O3 have a decay length of 0.70 nm. The difference in decay lengths can be explained by different growth morphologies, and in this way clarifies a present disagreement in the literature. For monolayer coverage of Cu, we show that the tunneling spin polarization is suppressed by at least a factor of 2 compared to Co and beyond approximately 5 ML it becomes vanishingly small.
Perfectly Matched Layers for the Convected Helmholtz Equation (2004)

In this paper, we propose and analyze perfectly matched absorbing layers for a problem of time-harmonic acoustic waves propagating in a duct in the presence of a uniform flow. The absorbing layers are designed for the pressure field, satisfying the convected scalar Helmholtz equation. A difficulty, compared to the Helmholtz equation, comes from the presence of so-called inverse upstream modes which become unstable, instead of evanescent, with the classical Bérenger's perfectly matched layers (PMLs). We investigate here a PML model, recently introduced for time-dependent problems, which makes all outgoing waves evanescent. We then analyze the error due to the truncation of the domain and prove that the convergence is exponential with respect to the size of the layers for both the classical and the new PML models. Numerical validations are finally presented.
Epidemiology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2001)

The epidemiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by marked differences between genders, ethnic groups, and geographic regions. These variations are explained by the nature, frequency, and time of acquisition of the major risk factors for cirrhosis--namely hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and alcoholic cirrhosis. The incidence and mortality of HCC has been rising in the US over the last two decades and is progressively affecting younger persons. The evidence indicates that HCV infection is responsible for the current trends.
Automatic Adding License Management Functionality for Android Applications (2013)

With the growth of applications on mobile devices, developers can easy distribute their applications by the various software marketplaces. Generally, the applications need some code to execute license management functionality, and so developers must learn how to add such license management code for each software marketplace. This has resulted in increasing complexity and development time of applications. In order to prevent the potential errors or bugs resulted from adding functionality, we designed an automatic process of adding license management code for an application marketplace prototype. Experimental results show the automatic process can repackage hundreds of Android applications efficiently and meet the requirement of the marketplace prototype.
Video Mining For Creative Rendering (2007)

More and more home videos are being generated with the ever growing popularity of digital cameras and camcorders. For many home videos, a photo rendering, whether capturing a moment or a scene within the video, provides a complementary representation to the video. In this paper, a video motion mining framework for creative rendering is presented. The user-s capture intent is derived by analyzing video motions, and respective metadata is generated for each capture type. The metadata can be used in a number of applications, such as creating video thumbnail, generating panorama posters, and producing slideshows of video.
Mechanisms of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Peritoneal Mesothelial Cells During Peritoneal Dialysis (2007)

A growing body of evidence indicates that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) may play an important role in the development and progression of peritoneal fibrosis during long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) leading to failure of peritoneal membrane function. Here, we review our own observations and those of others on the mechanisms of EMT of HPMC and suggest potential therapeutic strategies to prevent EMT and peritoneal fibrosis during long-term PD. We found that high glucose and H2O2 as well as transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) induced EMT in HPMC and that high glucoseinduced EMT was blocked not only by inhibition of TGF-beta1 but also by antioxidants or inhibitors of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). Since MAPKs are downstream target molecules of reactive oxygen species (ROS), these data suggest that high glucose-induced generation of ROS and subsequent MAPK activation mediate high glucose-induced EMT in HPMC. We and others also observed that bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) prevented EMT in HPMC. Glucose degradation products (GDP) were shown to play a role in inducing EMT. Involvement of a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in TGF-beta1-induced EMT has also been proposed in cultured HPMC. A better understanding of the precise mechanisms involved in EMT of HPMC may provide new therapeutic strategies for inhibiting peritoneal fibrosis in long-term PD patients.
Metabolic flux analysis of Escherichia coli in glucose-limited continuous culture. I. Growth-rate-dependent metabolic efficiency at steady state (2005)

The Escherichia coli K-12 strain TG1 was grown at 28 degrees C in aerobic glucose-limited continuous cultures at dilution rates ranging from 0.044 to 0.415 h(-1). The rates of biomass formation, the specific rates of glucose, ammonium and oxygen uptake and the specific carbon dioxide evolution rate increased linearly with the dilution rate up to 0.3 h(-1). At dilution rates between 0.3 h(-1) and 0.4 h(-1), a strong deviation from the linear increase to lower specific oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide evolution rates occurred. The biomass formation rate and the specific glucose and ammonium uptake rates did not deviate that strongly from the linear increase up to dilution rates of 0.4 h(-1). An increasing percentage of glucose carbon flow towards biomass determined by a reactor mass balance and a decreasing specific ATP production rate concomitant with a decreasing adenylate energy charge indicated higher energetic efficiency of carbon substrate utilization at higher dilution rates. Estimation of metabolic fluxes by a stoichiometric model revealed an increasing activity of the pentose phosphate pathway and a decreasing tricarboxylic acid cycle activity with increasing dilution rates, indicative of the increased NADPH and precursor demand for anabolic purposes at the expense of ATP formation through catabolic activities. Thus, increasing growth rates first result in a more energy-efficient use of the carbon substrate for biomass production, i.e. a lower portion of the carbon substrate is channelled into the respiratory, energy-generating pathway. At dilution rates above 0.4 h(-1), close to the wash-out point, respiration rates dropped sharply and accumulation of glucose and acetic acid was observed. Energy generation through acetate formation yields less ATP compared with complete oxidation of the sugar carbon substrate, but is the result of maximized energy generation under conditions of restrictions in the tricarboxylic acid cycle or in respiratory NADH turnover. Thus, the data strongly support the conclusion that, in aerobic glucose-limited continuous cultures of E. coli TG1, two different carbon limitations occur: at low dilution rates, cell growth is limited by cell-carbon supply and, at high dilution rates, by energy-carbon supply.
Skier Injury Trends (1989)

Between 1972 and 1987, the authors evaluated prospectively all 5701 injuries reported to the injury clinic operating in the base lodge of a moderate sized ski area in northern Vermont. During that time approximately 1 690 000 skier visits occurred at the ski area. The total injury population was divided into 28 groups and subgroups and examined by regression analysis for long-term trends. Among upper body injuries, only lacerations showed a positive improvement. Among lower extremity injuries, virtually all injuries below the knee improved dramatically, some groups by more than 80%. Knee injuries, although improved as a group, showed a marked 2.7-fold increase in serious (third-degree) sprains, usually involving the anterior cruciate ligament.
Phase II Trial of Sorafenib in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Previously Exposed to Anthracyclines or Taxanes: North Central Cancer Treatment Group and Mayo Clinic Trial N0336 (2008)

Sorafenib as a single agent, although well tolerated, did not exhibit activity when measured by tumor shrinkage in patients with MBC who had received prior treatment. Further research should focus on combinations with standard therapy and end points more sensitive to effects of targeted agents, such as disease stabilization.
Labeling the Languages of Words in Mixed-Language Documents using Weakly Supervised Methods (2013)

In this paper we consider the problem of labeling the languages of words in mixed-language documents. This problem is approached in a weakly supervised fashion, as a sequence labeling problem with monolingual text samples for training data. Among the approaches evaluated, a conditional random field model trained with generalized expectation criteria was the most accurate and performed consistently as the amount of training data was varied. 1
Complementation of a<i>Dictyoslelium discoideum</i>thymidylate synthase mutation with the mouse gene provides a new selectable marker for transformation (1989)

A cDNA encoding mouse thymidylate synthase has been inserted 3' to the Dictyostelium discoideum actin 15 promoter in an E. coli-D.discoideum shuttle vector. When this construct was introduced into a D.discoideum thymidylate synthase mutant strain HPS400, stable transformants were obtained at high frequency. These transformants grew in standard axenic medium without requiring exogenous thymidine. This construct provides a second selectable marker for use in transformation of D.discoideum.

A novel two‐component system controls the expression of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> fimbrial <i>cup</i> genes (2004)

Biofilm formation by the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa requires the expression of a number of surface adhesive components. The expression of surface organelles facilitating biofilm formation is controlled by environmental signals acting through transcriptional regulatory networks. We analysed the expression of a family of P. aeruginosa adhesins encoded by three distinct fimbrial gene clusters (cupA, cupB and cupC). Using transposon mutagenesis, we have identified several regulatory loci that upregulated cupB and cupC transcription. One such locus contains three components, RocS1, RocR and RocA1, which represent a variant of a classical two-component signal transduction pathway. RocS1 is a sensor kinase, RocA1 is a DNA binding response regulator that activates cup genes, and RocR is an antagonist of RocA1 activity. Using a two-hybrid assay, we have shown that RocS1 interacts with receiver domains of both RocA1 and RocR. Expression of the Cup system in response to environmental stimuli is accomplished by a novel mechanism in which the sensor kinase activates its cognate response regulator through a phosphorelay pathway, while an additional repressor protein modulates this interaction.
Spleen-Colony Formation in Anemic Mice of Genotype <i> WW <sup>V</sup> </i> (1964)

The hemopoietic cells from anemic mice of genotype WW are less able by 200-fold to take part in colony formationin the spleen than cells from the normal littermates of genotype ww. The genetic defect shows itself in the colony-forming cells, since cells from normal littermate mice formcolonies in the spleens of unirradiated mice of genotype WW. Use of animals of genotype WVVWT as recipients improves the spleen-colony method by removing bias resulting fromthe death of irradiated recipients.
Query optimization for ontology-based information integration (2010)

In recent years, there has been an explosion of publicly available RDF and OWL data sources. In order to effectively and quickly answer queries in such an environment, we present an approach to identifying the potentially relevant Semantic Web data sources using query rewritings and a term index. We demonstrate that such an approach must carefully handle query goals that lack constants; otherwise the algorithm may identify many sources that do not contribute to eventual answers. This is because the term index only indicates if URIs are present in a document, and specific answers to a subgoal cannot be calculated until the source is physically accessed - an expensive operation given disk/network latency. We present an algorithm that, given a set of query rewritings that accounts for ontology heterogeneity, incrementally selects and processes sources in order to maintain selectivity. Once sources are selected, we use an OWL reasoner to answer queries over these sources and their corresponding ontologies. We present the results of experiments using both a synthetic data set and a subset of the real-world Billion Triple Challenge data.
The Erectile Function Visual Analog Scale (EF-VAS): a disease-specific utility instrument for the assessment of erectile function. (2006)

The EF-VAS represents an important advance in the understanding of the impact of ED on patients' QoL and in providing a mechanism to allow the quantification of the health status that patients associate with ED. Based on its responsiveness, the EF-VAS will provide an important clinical tool to assess and contribute to the understanding of the impact of treatment for ED. The EF-VAS represents a major advance in the science of health-related quality of life (HRQol) assessment, as it is the first validated ED-specific utility assessment reported in the literature.
Pulsed laser polymerization study of the propagation kinetics of acrylamide in water (2005)

Abstract Pulsed laser polymerization was used in conjunction with aqueous‐phase size exclusion chromatography with multi‐angle laser light scattering detection to determine the propagation rate coefficient ( k p ) for the water‐soluble monomer acrylamide. The influence of the monomer concentration was investigated from 0.3 to 2.8 M, and k p decreased with increasing monomer concentration. These data and data for acrylic acid in water were consistent with this decrease being caused by the depletion of the monomer concentration by dimer formation in water. Two photoinitiators, uranyl nitrate and 2,2′‐azobis(2‐amidinopropane) (V‐50), were used; k p was dependent on their concentrations. The concentration dependence of k p was ascribed to a combination of solvent effects arising from association (thermodynamic effects) and changes in the free energy of activation (effects of the solvent on the structure of the reactant and transition state). Arrhenius parameters for k p (M −1 s −1 ) = 10 7.2 exp(−13.4 kJ mol −1 / RT ) and k p (M −1 s −1 ) = 10 7.1 exp(−12.9 kJ mol −1 / RT ) were obtained for 0.002 M uranyl nitrate and V‐50, respectively, with a monomer concentration of 0.32 M. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new parity-check stopping criterion for turbo decoding (2008)

This paper presents a simple and effective stopping criterion for Turbo decoding. This criterion is based on parity-check scheme, which is totally different from the cross-entropy (CE) based criteria. Simulations show that the proposed scheme achieves about the same performance in terms of bit-error-rate (BER) and saves more iterations, as compared with other well known CE-based stopping criteria. Furthermore, this parity- check scheme unveils the inner oneness of LDPC codes and turbo codes in the perspective of the decoding convergence, which is an original theoretical discovery.
Two-Dimensional Edge Detection by Guided Mode Resonant Metasurface (2018)

In this letter, a new approach to perform edge detection is presented using an all-dielectric complimentary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible metasurface. Our design is based on the guided-mode resonance, which provides a high quality factor resonance to make the edge detection experimentally realizable. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate, and it can be exploited for detection of edges in two dimensions due to its symmetry. In addition, a tradeoff between gain and the resolution of edge detection is discussed, which can be adjusted using appropriate design parameters. The proposed edge detector potentially can be used in ultrafast analog computing and image processing.
Riluzole serum concentrations in patients with ALS (2003)

Riluzole exerts a dose-dependent effect on survival of patients with ALS and, although serum levels show a high interindividual variability, is usually prescribed in a fixed dose. In this study, riluzole serum levels and area under the curve per kilogram of body weight (AUC/kg) of 169 patients with ALS showed a high interindividual variability. Patients with high serum levels and AUC/kg more often had diarrhea but less often had fasciculations and muscle stiffness. It may therefore be advantageous to raise the riluzole dose in patients with low riluzole serum concentrations without the risk of serious side effects.
Delivering Building Intelligence to First Responders (2013)

Presently, there is no integrated solution for delivering building systems data to emergency responders. A standard building data delivery solution will integrate the capacity of the building fire safety systems with the capabilities of the fire service, resulting in an improvement in firefighter safety and a reduction in commercial property losses due to fire. Remote access to these data would provide greatly improved situational awareness for emergency responders, reducing response times as well as time to size up and mitigate building fires. This paper reviews challenges of collecting, processing, and moving sensor data out of building systems, meshing with public safety networks and addressing network architecture and security issues. The paper then presents a summary of the current stateof-the-art, including a proposed data classification system. Finally, this paper presents a roadmap to address remaining challenges in enabling first responder access to critical building incident data.
