Fibrin-specific thrombolytic agents. (1988)

The mammalian fibrinolytic system comprises a proenzyme, plasminogen, which can be converted to the active enzyme plasmin, which will degrade fibrin. Plasminogen activation is mediated by plasminogen activators which are classified as either tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA). t-PA and single-chain u-PA (scu-PA) induce clot-specific thrombolysis, however via entirely different mechanisms. t-PA is relatively inactive in the absence of fibrin, but fibrin strikingly enhances the activation rate of plasminogen by t-PA. This is explained by an increased activity of fibrin-bound t-PA for plasminogen and not by alteration of the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. scu-PA has a high affinity for plasminogen but, however, does not activate plasminogen in plasma in the absence of a fibrin clot, due to competitive inhibition. Fibrin-specific thrombolysis appears to be due to the fact that fibrin reverses the competitive inhibition, but this does not seem to occur via specific binding of scu-PA to fibrin. The thrombolytic efficacy and fibrin-specificity of natural and recombinant t-PA has been demonstrated in animal models of pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis and coronary artery thrombosis. In all these studies thrombolysis and relative fibrinogen sparing effect of t-PA was recently confirmed in several multicenter clinical trials in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Specific thrombolysis by scu-PA has also been demonstrated in animal models of pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis and coronary artery thrombosis.
THE SYSTEM MAGNESIUM OXIDE‐BORIC OXIDE* (1945)

A bstract Equilibrium In the system has been investigated for compositions from 0.6 to 75 weight per cent MgO. Three intermediate compounds are present. MgO⋅B 2 O 3 melts incongruently at 988°C. to form 2MgO⋅B 2 O 3 and a liquid containing more than 99% B 2 O 3 . The other two compounds melt congruently: 2MgO⋅B 2 O 3 at 1340°C. and 3MgO⋅‐B 2 O 3 at 1366°C. At 1142°C., a region of liquid immiscibility extends from 0.6 to 36.0% MgO. Temperatures are accurate within =5°C. Conflicts between these results and those of Toropov and Konovalov (see footnote 8) are discussed.
Formation of cylindrical profile of Si by KrF excimer laser system for optical interconnect (2011)

A technique applying the homogenized KrF excimer laser reformation to fabricate Si cylindrical profile is presented. High-power excimer laser was used to illuminate high-aspect-ratio Si ridges which were fabricated using typical lithography and etching process. The Si ridges were then melted and reshaped to cylinders due to surface tension. The structure can be further preceded by thermal oxidation to produce wave guiding photonics. It is capable of fabricating sub-micrometer Si waveguides with extremely smooth surface.
Genetic Distance between Populations (1972)

A measure of genetic distance (D) based on the identity of genes between populations is formulated. It is defined as D = -logeI, where I is the normalized identity of genes between two populations. This genetic distance measures the accumulated allele differences per locus. If the rate of gene substitution per year is constant, it is linearly related to the divergence time between populations under sexual isolation. It is also linearly related to geographical distance or area in some migration models. Since D is a measure of the accumulated number of codon differences per locus, it can also be estimated from data on amino acid sequences in proteins even for a distantly related species. Thus, if enough data are available, genetic distance between any pair of organisms can be measured in terms of D. This measure is applicable to any kind of organism without regard to ploidy or mating scheme.

Unrelated conjugative plasmids have sequences which are homologous to the leading region of the F factor (1986)

Conjugative plasmids from various incompatibility groups which carry DNA homologous to the ssb gene of the F factor were found to have additional homology with the F factor. This region homologous with F was located on both sides of the ssb gene and occupied a considerable part of the leading region, i.e., the 12.9-kilobase portion of F transferred first during conjugation. This region was the only region of the F factor which has a homologous counterpart on many plasmids.

Quantum Computation with Trapped Ions in an Optical Cavity (2002)

Two-qubit logical gates are proposed on the basis of two atoms trapped in a cavity setup and commonly addressed by laser fields. Losses in the interaction by spontaneous transitions are efficiently suppressed by employing adiabatic transitions and the quantum Zeno effect. Dynamical and geometrical conditional phase gates are suggested. This method provides fidelity and a success rate of its gates very close to unity. Hence, it is suitable for performing quantum computation.
Embedded Systems Architecture for SLAM Applications (2017)

In recent years, we have observed a clear trend in the rapid rise of autonomous vehicles, robotics, virtual reality, and augmented reality. The core technology enabling these applications, Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), imposes two main challenges: first, these workloads are computationally intensive and they often have real-time requirements; second, these workloads run on battery-powered mobile devices with limited energy budget. In short, the essence of these challenges is that performance should be improved while simultaneously reducing energy consumption, two rather contradicting goals by conventional wisdom. In this paper, we take a close look at state-of-the-art Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) workloads, especially how these workloads behave on mobile devices. Based on the results, we propose a mobile architecture to improve SLAM performance on mobile devices.

PECVD Silicon Nitride Surface Passivation for High-Efficiency N-Type Silicon Solar Cells (2006)

In this paper, we show that plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited silicon nitride is particularly well suited for surface passivation of n-type silicon wafers and solar cells. The surface passivation quality provided by the silicon nitride on three different important surfaces for high-efficiency n-type solar cells is studied in this work: planar, textured, and boron-diffused surfaces. Exceptional passivation quality on these surfaces is demonstrated in this work. One-sun implied open-circuit voltages of 732 mV, 719 mV, and 683 mV were achieved on 1 ohm.cm planar, 1 ohm.cm textured, and moderately doped (135 ohm/sq) boron-diffused planar surfaces, respectively. A real open-circuit voltage of 719 mV was measured at approximately 1-Sun, 25 degC condition on a voltage test structure device passivated entirely with silicon nitride
A modified contour error controller for a high speed XY table (2000)

This article deals with a contour error controller (CEC) applied in a high speed biaxial table. It works simultaneously with the table axes controllers, helping them. In the early stages of the investigation, it was observed that its main problem is imprecision when tracking non-linear contours at high speeds. The objectives of this work are to show that this problem is caused by the lack of exactness of the contour error mathematical model and to propose modifications in it. An additional term is included, resulting in a more accurate value of the contour error, enabling the use of this type of motion controller at higher feedrate. The response results from simulated and experimental tests are compared with those of common PID and non-corrected CEC in order to analyse the effectiveness of this controller over the system. The main conclusions are that the proposed contour error mathematical model is simple, accurate, almost insensible to the feedrate and that a 20:1 reduction of the integral absolute contour error is possible.
PacGAN: The Power of Two Samples in Generative Adversarial Networks (2020)

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are innovative techniques for learning generative models of complex data distributions from samples. Despite remarkable improvements in generating realistic images, one of their major shortcomings is the fact that in practice, they tend to produce samples with little diversity, even when trained on diverse datasets. This phenomenon, known as mode collapse, has been the main focus of several recent advances in GANs. Yet there is little understanding of why mode collapse happens and why recently-proposed approaches mitigate mode collapse. We propose a principled approach to handle mode collapse called packing. The main idea is to modify the discriminator to make decisions based on multiple samples from the same class, either real or artificially generated. We borrow analysis tools from binary hypothesis testing-in particular the seminal result of (Blackwell, 1953)-to prove a fundamental connection between packing and mode collapse. We show that packing naturally penalizes generators with mode collapse, thereby favoring generator distributions with less mode collapse during the training process. Numerical experiments on benchmark datasets suggests that packing provides significant improvements in practice as well.

Path-based edge activation for dynamic run-time scheduling (1999)

We present a tool that performs real time analysis and dynamic execution of software tasks in a mixed hardware-software system with a custom run time scheduler. The tasks in hardware and software have control flow constraints (precedence and alternative execution), resource constraints, relative timing constraints, and a rate constraint. The custom run time scheduler dynamically executes tasks in different orders, based on the conditional execution path, such that a hard real time rate constraint can be predictably met. We describe the task modelling, run time scheduler implementation, and real time analysis. We introduce the concept of path based edge activation utilizing conditional edges. We show how our approach fits into an overall tool flow and target architecture. Finally, we conclude with a sample application of the system to a design example.
CISPLATIN-INDUCED ALTERATIONS OF SEROTONIN METABOLISM IN PATIENTS WITH OR WITHOUT EMESIS FOLLOWING CHEMOTHERAPY (1995)

Serotonin (5-HT)(3) receptor antagonists are very effective in the control of cisplatin induced emesis. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of patients still experience emesis despite the use of these antiemetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate if cisplatin treated patients who vomit differ from patients who are completely protected from emesis with respect to measurable alterations of serotonin metabolism. We measured the urinary excretion of 5-hydroxyindole-acetic-acid (5-HIAA), the main metabolite of serotonin, in 24 patients with 42 courses of cisplatin containing chemotherapies. Patterns of 5-HIAA excretion were compared between patients with emesis and patients who are completely protected from vomiting. Three groups of patients without chemotherapy served as control. The first group did not receive any medication. The second and third group were given a single dose of ondansetron or metoclopramide. The median 5-HIAA/creatinine ratios in the control group ranged from 3.8 to 6.9 with a median of 6.2 (mu g 5-HIAA/mg creatinine). Neither ondansetron nor metoclopramide given without chemotherapy induced significant changes in 5-HIAA excretion patterns. 23 courses (55%) were associated with acute cisplatin-induced emesis. The median interval from the start of the cisplatin infusion to the peak 5-HIAA excretion was shorter in patients with acute emesis, but the cumulative amount of urinary 5-HIAA did not differ between patients with or without emesis. Patients who are efficiently protected from vomiting as well as patients who experience emesis show a comparable increase in urinary 5-HIAA following cisplatin therapy. The present study failed to show elevated 5-HIAA excretion levels occurring later than 24 hours following cisplatin administration. Nevertheless, patients experienced cisplatin-induced delayed emesis. Further studies are warranted to identify the pathomechanisms responsible for delayed emesis as well as that proportion of acute emesis which is refractory to 5-HT3 antagonism.
Temporary arterial occlusion during intracranial aneurysm surgery. (1993)

Temporary arterial occlusion during intracranial aneurysm surgery is a safe and effective modality. It is not only an emergency measure for controlling aneurysmal bleeding, but also a helpful means for accurate and meticulous dissection and clipping of an intracranial aneurysm with the advantage of minimizing the chance of its premature rupture or causing damage to the vital neurovascular structures. This technique is especially useful for treating large or giant aneurysms, carotid-ophthalmic arterial aneurysms, or thin-walled and complicated aneurysms tightly adherent to their surrounding tissues. A series of 52 patients with temporary clipping of the involved arteries during intracranial aneurysm surgery were reviewed retrospectively, which represented 37.1% of all aneurysms operated on in Huashan Hospital, Shanghai Medical University during the same period (from 1980 to 1990). Of them, one died (1.9%), 10(19.2%) had immediate or early neurological deficits which were mostly resolved later. A follow-up study with an average time of 3.8 years showed that 98% of patients had an excellent and good recovery without significant deficits. Comparing these results with those in 88 patients with aneurysms operated on over the same period in which temporary clips were not used, there is clearly no significant difference. The use of brain protectors, barbiturates, hypothermia and some monitoring systems can increase the safe coefficient to the brain and reduce the occurrence of ischemic complications during the application of temporary arterial occlusion. However, there is so far neither an absolute reliable medication or monitor, nor a well accepted safe time-limits to vascular occlusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The initation of vinyl polymerisation utilising a diazonium salt. Part I. Hypophosphorous acid redox system (1967)

Abstract The reaction between diazonium salts and hypophosphorous acid, reported in the literature as a free radical reaction, has been used to initiate the polymerisation of acrylonitrile. A 5‐fold excess of hypophosphorous acid, as compared with the diazonium salt, was found suitable, and the diazonium salts were usually present at 2% of the molar concentration of the acrylonitrile. Oxidising agents in some cases accelerate polymerisation, and copper sulfate, the effect of which was examined in detail, is particularly efficient in this respect at very low concentrations. Representative polymers were analysed, and found to contain permanently bound phosphorus. A comparison of the number average molecular weights derived there‐from with viscometric molecular weights indicates that there is one atom of phosphorus for each molecule of polymer. The effect of different diazonium salts has been examined in some detail. Nucleophilic substituents on the benzene ring reduce the efficiency of polymerisation, which is accelerated by electrophilic substituents.
Adaptive beamforming with 16 element linear array using MaxSIR and MMSE algorithms (2007)

Smart antenna system is a promising technology to provide higher capacity with more reliability. Adaptive beam forming capability is very significant in smart antenna systems. Maximum Signal-to-Interference Ratio (MaxSIR) and Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) beamforming algorithms were investigated using 16 elements linear array antenna. Both algorithms were calculated and simulated using Matlab as well as Zeland’s IE3D software. The performance of algorithms for single and multiple beams are presented in this paper.

Planar lightwave circuits based on silica waveguides on silicon (1994)

Abstract Optical communication systems are expanding from the conventional point‐to‐point system to the mesh‐type network systems for subscribers. As a result, the requirement for passive circuits such as optical divider, optical combiner, and optical switch is increased. Since optical waveguide‐type circuits have superior stability and mass producibility, they are considered important for construction of future optical communication systems. This paper describes development of the planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology using the silica‐based waveguide on a silicon substrate. In the first half, the design technology of the silica‐based waveguide, the design and production examples of PLCs, and the system experiment examples are introduced. In the latter half, the latest tendency of high‐density integrated PLCs is emphasized based on the use of the high relative refractive index difference (high‐Δ) with a view to large‐scale PLC, and the characteristics of the high‐Δ waveguide and examples of its applications to high‐density integrated optical circuits are presented.
The characteristics of the nickel-cadmium battery for energy storage (1999)

The electrochemical characteristics of the industrial nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery make it particularly appropriate for applications where environmental factors-particularly extremes of ambient temperature-need to be taken into account, and where lifetime, cycling behaviour, charge/discharge characteristics, maintenance requirements and life cycle cost are important parameters. This article examines the characteristics of two types of industrial Ni-Cd battery and highlights their suitability for battery energy storage systems.
Analysis of a simple successive interference cancellation scheme in a DS/CDMA system (1994)

Compensating for near/far effects is critical for satisfactory performance of DS/CDMA systems. So far, practical systems have used power control to overcome fading and near/far effects. Another approach, which has a fundamental potential in not only eliminating near/far effects but also in substantially raising the capacity, is multiuser detection and interference cancellation. Various optimal and suboptimal schemes have been investigated. Most of these schemes, however, get too complex even for relatively simple systems and rely on good channel estimates. For interference cancellation, estimation of channel parameters (viz. received amplitude and phase) is important. We analyze a simple successive interference cancellation scheme for coherent BPSK modulation, where the parameter estimation is done using the output of a linear correlator. We then extend the analysis for a noncoherent modulation scheme, namely M-ary orthogonal modulation. For the noncoherent case, the needed information on both the amplitude and phase is obtained from the correlator output. The performance of the IC scheme along with multipath diversity combining is studied.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
