Low temperature photo-oxidation of silicon usingdeep UV radiation (1996)

Direct photo-oxidation of silicon at a temperature of 250°C has been investigated using vacuum ultraviolet radiation. The oxidation rate is more than three times greater than that obtained at 350°C using a low pressure mercury lamp. Ellipsometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, capacitance-voltage and current-voltage measurements indicate these to be high quality layers.

The Pushed-Out Principal (2020)

Kathleen Pitts was hired as an elementary principal with the intent of diversifying the educator ranks in a town with growing racial, economic, and cultural diversity. Upon starting her new position, Kathleen faced resistance from the staff and community. In addition, she received little support from her administrator colleagues as she forged ahead with implementing new curriculum. This case explores the critical intersection between building capacity for entering a school community, supporting new administrators, and fostering responsive and inclusive environments for staff and students. Discussion questions and activities provide a platform for exploring the complex nature of both school and district leadership, especially in contexts experiencing change.
Improving Allocation and Hydrocarbon Accounting Accuracy Using New Techniques (2011)

Summary In the oil industry, it is necessary to reconcile fiscally measured hydrocarbon production with estimated production from associated wells. This process is known as "allocation" and is important for a number of reasons, including accounting for field production to owners/governments, field surveillance, and volumetric input to reservoir simulators. Traditionally, allocation is performed on a monthly basis, reconciling the "less-accurate" sum of the well tests adjusted by well uptimes with the "more-accurate" fiscal measurements. This process is subject to a number of inherent inaccuracies, including less-than-perfect well tests, lack of knowledge of precisely when the wells were interrupted, unknown well-flow changes, and uncertainty as to how to allocate effectively the difference between fiscal and well-test measurements. Ineffective allocation can lead to financial consequences caused by inaccuracies in volumes allocated between various owners and tax regimes. Inaccuracies can also feed through to reservoir simulators, which may be used in corresponding decision-making processes (e.g., where to drill the next well). These inaccuracies are generally compounded with time because allocation is performed month after month throughout the field life cycle. Associated with hydrocarbon accounting are key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., well daily production and deferment rates). The purpose of this paper is to describe Shell's experiences in improving allocation accuracy and automatic KPI reporting through more-effective use of available production data and by using a continuous, rather than a discontinuous, hydrocarbon accounting process.
Performance of the r-truncated Benes networks under randomized routing algorithms (2002)

Benes networks have the potential for balanced traffic, fewer conflicts, and can route any permutation in one pass due to their multiplicity of paths. Omega networks, on the other hand, have fast set-up and low hardware cost, but could take more than one pass to route a permutation. This paper introduces a new class of networks referred to as r-truncated Benes, which is a Benes network with r randomization stages eliminated. Using randomized routing, we will show that r-truncated Benes networks is an excellent trade-off between Omega and Benes networks. In particular, it will be shown that the I-truncated Benes network out performs Omega and is also superior to Benes and other truncated Benes networks in cost and performance.
Nonlinear Optical Properties of Organic and Polymeric Materials (1983)

Studies of the basic physics of nonlinear second order optical processes in solids remain critically important to the field of nonlinear optics and to further advances in telecommunications technologies. This fact receives continued emphasis today in problems of current interest such as phase conjugation and optical bistability. Research activities have centered on second order optical processes occurring in inorganic dielectric insulators and semiconductors primarily because of the important scientific achievements and resultant large body of available information from earlier studies of piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties and semiconductor transport. Consequently, nearly all of the nonlinear optical materials widely under study are inorganic solids. Recently, however, much interest has focused on organic and polymeric solids basically due to their exceptionally large nonlinear second order optical properties and the promise of virtually unlimited numbers of crystalline structures.(1-9)
Ethanol Actions on Multiple Ion Channels: Which Are Important? (1999)

There is now compelling evidence that multiple ion channels are affected by ethanol and growing support for the idea that ethanol interacts directly with specific sites on ion channels. The key, and unanswered, question is which of these channels are responsible for alcohol-induced behaviors such as intoxication, tolerance, dependence, or craving. Mutant mice will likely give (some) answers to these questions during the next decade.
Experimental Investigation of Magnetic Field Effect on the Magnetic Nanofluid Oscillating Heat Pipe (2013)

The magnetic field effect on oscillating motion and heat transfer in an oscillating heat pipe (OHP) containing magnetic nanofluid was investigated experimentally. The nanofluid consisted of distilled water and dysprosium (III) oxide nanoparticles with an average size of 98 nm. A magnetic field was applied to the evaporating section of the OHP by using a permanent magnet. The heat pipes charged with magnetic nanofluids at mass ratios of 0.1%, 0.05%, and 0.01% were tested. In addition, the effects of orientation and input power ranging from 50 W to 250 W on the heat transport capability of the heat pipe were investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that the magnetic field can affect the oscillating motions and enhance the heat transfer performance of the magnetic nanofluid OHP. The magnetic nanoparticles in a magnetic field can reduce the startup power of oscillating motion and enhance the heat transfer performance.
Transaction-Based Process Crash Recovery of File System Namespace Modules (2013)

In this paper, we describe the emerging concept of namespace modules: operating system components that are responsible for constructing a hierarchical file system namespace based on one or more individual underlying file objects. We show that the likely presence of software bugs in such modules calls for the ability to recover from crashes, but that the current state of the art falls short of the desired behavior. We then introduce a crash recovery solution that is based on transactions, and detail the requirements for a system to implement this solution. We apply our solution to two different use cases: the primary namespace module for a storage stack, and an extension module that exposes the contents of scientific data files. Our evaluation shows that the transaction system has low overhead and significantly adds to the robustness of the namespace modules.

Organic semiconductor wastewater treatment using a four-stage Bardenpho with membrane system (2014)

Electronic wastewater from a semiconductor plant was treated with a pilot-scale four-stage Bardenpho process with membrane system. The system was operated over a 14-month period with an overall hydraulic retention time (HRT) ranging from 9.5 to 30 h. With a few exceptions, the pilot plant consistently treated the electronic wastewater with an average removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total nitrogen of 97% and 93%, respectively, and achieving effluent quality of COD<15 mg/L, turbidity<1, and silt density index<1. Based on removal efficiencies of the pilot plant, it is possible to lower the HRT to less than 9.5 h to achieve comparable removal efficiencies. An energy-saving configuration where an internal recycle line was omitted and the biomass recycle was rerouted to the pre-anoxic tank, can reduce energy consumption by 8.6% and gave removal efficiencies that were similar to the Bardenpho process. The system achieved pre-anoxic and post-anoxic specific denitrification rate values with a 95% confidence interval of 0.091 ± 0.011 g NO₃-N/g MLVSS d and 0.087 ± 0.016 g NO₃-N/g MLVSS d, respectively. The effluent from the four-stage Bardenpho with membrane system can be paired with a reverse osmosis system to provide further treatment for reuse purposes.
Optimal Nonparametric Estimation of First-price Auctions (2000)

This paper proposes a general approach and a computationally convenient estimation procedure for the structural analysis of auction data. Considering first-price sealed-bid auction models within the independent private value paradigm, we show that the underlying distribution of bidders' private values is identified from observed bids and the number of actual bidders without any parametric assumptions. Using the theory of minimax, we establish the best rate of uniform convergence at which the latent density of private values can be estimated nonparametrically from available data. We then propose a two-step kernel-based estimator that converges at the optimal rate.
Flavour quality of tomatoes (1976)

Abstract Tomato volatiles present in essential oils obtained by steam distillation–continuous extraction and by head‐space condensation were identified and evaluated organoleptically. Flavour quality of different samples of fresh tomatoes, evaluated by a panel, could be related to the occurrence and concentration of n‐hexanal, trans ‐2‐hexenal, cis ‐3‐hexen‐1‐ol, 2‐isobutylthiazole and some unidentified compounds in the head space condensation essential oil.
Fog Intelligence for Network Anomaly Detection (2020)

Anomalies are common in network system monitoring. When manifested as network threats to be mitigated, service outages to be prevented, and security risks to be ameliorated, detecting such anomalous network behaviors becomes of great importance. However, the growing scale and complexity of the mobile communication networks, as well as the ever-increasing amount and dimensionality of network surveillance data, make it extremely difficult to monitor a mobile network and discover abnormal network behaviors. Recent advances in machine learning allow obtaining near-optimal solutions to complicated decision making problems with many sources of uncertainty that cannot be accurately characterized by traditional mathematical models. However, most machine learning algorithms are centralized, which renders them inapplicable to large-scale distributed wireless networks with tens of millions of mobile devices. In this article, we present fog intelligence, a distributed machine learning architecture that enables intelligent wireless network management. It preserves the advantage of both edge processing and centralized cloud computing. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is scalable, privacy-preserving, and well suited for intelligent management of a distributed wireless network.
Does training in speech perception modify speech production? (2002)

To examine the relationship between speech perception and production in second language acquisition, this study investigated whether training in the perception domain transfers to improvement in the production domain. Native speakers of Japanese were trained to identify English /r/-/l/ minimal pairs. Recordings were made of the subjects' productions of minimal pairs before and after identification training. American-English listeners then perceptually evaluated these productions. The subjects showed significant improvements from pre-test to post-test in perception as well as in production. Furthermore, the subjects retained these abilities in follow-up tests given three months and six months after the conclusion of training. These results demonstrate that training in the perception domain produces long-term modifications in both perception and production, implying a close link between speech perception and production.
On Measuring SSL-based Secure Data Transfer with Handheld Devices (2005)

The secure sockets layer (SSL) security protocol is largely used nowadays by the World Wide Web to secure Internet communications and an increasing number of handheld devices are provided by the manufacturers with preinstalled applications (e.g. Web browsers) and digital certificates in order to support SSL in wireless environments too. We present first a comprehensive analysis of SSL protocol and the cryptographic algorithms used as building blocks in the protocol. We demonstrate next that SSL support embedded also in other applications for some mobile devices does not impact significantly on overall application's performance when communicating with other parties. We wanted to use for our experimental setup, APIs and tools that are either available for the majority of the handheld devices or that can be downloaded and tested freely and without major modifications. This is the especially the case of application developers, who preferably would not use modified versions of cryptographic libraries and special drivers characteristic to academic/commercial testing environments. We also developed a tool named SSLperf (SSL performance) for testing SSL security protocol's performance when transferring either small amounts of data (e.g. credit card number) or of medium dimension (e.g. a document in PDF format), with handheld devices. We've compared the results obtained with SSLperf on Windows CE-enabled handheld and pocket PCs and 'powerful' Windwos 2000/XP-enabled platforms with other related works
Establishment of a Stable Glutamate Decarboxylase (Gad) Expressing Cell-Line by Transfection (1993)

We have constructed a recombinant DNA clone containing the gene encoding glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), which catalyzes the synthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This recombinant DNA was then transfected into mouse NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells for transplantation into Swiss-Web mice. In order to construct a plasmid capable of transcribing the DNA insert in the eucaryotic cells, the GAD gene was removed from pSP65-13, and was ligated into the vector pSV2neo, which contains the SV40 early promoter, and the neomycin resistance gene. The pSV2GAD was then transfected into NIH-3T3 fibroblasts by calcium phosphate precipitation, or by electroporation. The transfected fibroblasts were then selected with antibiotic G418 for amplification. The transient expression of GAD in the transfected fibroblasts was detected by immunocytochemical staining using anti-GAD antibody. A small population of GAD immunoreactive cells were clearly stained, and were easily distinguished from the majority of unstained background cells. These GAD-immunoreactive cells were not seen in either mock-transfected, or pSV2neo-transfected cells (vector-alone control). The transfected fibroblasts were continuously selected with antibiotic G418. Six out of 35 subcultures that had GAD-positive immunostaining in the cell lines were selected. Granular GAD-positive staining was observed in the cytoplasm and fiber extensions of the transfected cell lines in varying densities. The GAD-mRNA was also detected in the subcultures by in situ hybridization using a 35S-labeled 369-nucleotide riboprobe in pBluescript. The GAD-transfected NIH-3T3 cells were then transplanted into Swiss-Web mice. Fifteen to 30 days later, transplanted animals were perfused for identification. These cells were first identified with anti-fibronectin antibody, and the adjacent sections with anti-GAD or anti-GABA antibodies. All the transplants are fibronectin-positive. Both GAD- and GABA positive cells were observed in the transplant.
The mouse proline-rich protein MP6 promoter binds isoprenaline-inducible parotid nuclear proteins via a highly conserved NFkB/rel-like site (1991)

Proline-rich protein (PRP) gene MP6 was isolated from a mouse BALB/c genomic DNA library in lambda EMBL3, characterised by hybridisation and restriction mapping and the promoter region, from -162 to +72 around the PRP consensus cap-site, was sequenced. In gel shift assays this region formed complexes C1 and C2 with parotid nuclear proteins which were induced by the beta-adrenergic agonist isoprenaline. DNA competition studies and direct binding assays of promoter subfragments showed that it was the sequence from -157 to -91 that was forming the isoprenaline-dependent complexes. All PRP genes conserve a 23bp. sequence, termed PRP Box1, with ets and NFkB/rel binding site-like elements, upstream of their promoters. In the MP6 promoter, PRP Box1 was within the region forming the complexes. Further gel shift assays using PRP Box1 oligonucleotides as competitors and targets indicated that the NFkB/rel binding site-like element was important in formation of the isoprenaline-inducible complexes. HeLa nuclear extracts also formed complexes with PRP Box1 similar to C1 and C2 but nuclear extracts from spleen, submandibular gland and liver did not. These complexes are thus candidate regulators for the isoprenaline-dependent and tissue-specific transcription of PRP genes.
Studies on antibiotic synergism against enterococci (1971)

The mechanism by which agents that inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis produce a synergistic effect against enterococci when combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics has not been elucidated. Using (14)C-labeled streptomycin, it could be shown that uptake of this aminoglycoside antibiotic was markedly enhanced in enterococci growing in the presence of penicillin or other agents which inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. There was no enhancement of streptomycin uptake when the cells were incubated with antibiotics which primarily affect the bacterial cell membrane or inhibit protein synthesis. Increased streptomycin uptake was produced by penicillin only in actively growing bacteria. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that enterococci exhibit a natural barrier to the entry of streptomycin which can be overcome by agents which inhibit cell wall synthesis, thus producing a synergistic effect.

Microwave Quantum Radar using a Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier (2022)

Detection of low-reflectivity objects can be improved by the so-called Quantum Illumination (QI) procedure. However, quantum detection error probability exponentially decays with the source bandwidth. The Josephson Parametric Amplifiers (JPAs) technology utilized as a source, generating pairs of entangled signals called two-mode squeezed vacuum states, shows a very narrow bandwidth limiting the operation of the Microwave Quantum Illumination (MQI) systems. In this paper, for the first time, a microwave quantum radar setup based on quantum illumination protocol and using a Josephson Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier (JTWPA) is proposed. We experimentally demonstrate the generation and control of three-wave mixing modes produced by a JTWPA, key enabler radiation source for MQI schemes. Measurement results of the developed JTWPA, pumped at 12 GHz, show the capability to generate entangled modes in the X-band, making our MQI system a promising candidate for the detection of stealth objects.
Influence of Welding on Steel Weldment Properties (1993)

Abstract This article describes the fundamental and specific factors that control the properties of steel weldments in both the weld metal and heat-affected zone (HAZ) of carbon and low-alloy steels. It provides information on steel types and their weldability. The article also explains the influence of welding procedure factors on the weldment properties. These procedure factors include preheat temperature, interpass temperature, postweld heat treatment, and heat input.

International Journal for Pharmaceutical Research Scholars (IJPRS) (2013)

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), also known as chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL), is the most common type of leukemia. Leukemias are cancers of the white blood cells (leukocytes). CLL affects B cell lymphocytes. B cells originate in the bone marrow, develop in the lymph nodes, and normally fight infection by producing antibodies. Bendamustine (INN, trade names Ribomustin and Treanda; also known as SDX-105) is a nitrogen mustard used in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL) and lymphomas. It belongs to the family of drugs called alkylating agents. It is also being studied for the treatment of sarcoma 1 . Bendamustine Hydrochloride is commercially available in the market as lyophilizzed dosage form. Also enough literature is available that Bendamustine Hydrochloride is very unstable in the liquid dosage form. It undergoes hydrolytic degradation in the presence of water 2 . Hence an attempt for developing a simple, aqueous and non aqueous based
