SCAR: A Stateless Approach to Achieving Scalable Quality of Service. (2005)

Previous attempts at providing widespread Quality of Service (QoS) for the Internet have met with only limited success. Integrated Services and Differentiated Services, the two most popular architectures proposed, suffer from scalability and flexibility concerns respectively. More recently, numerous other architectural proposals have been introduced, but have also been met with limited success. This paper introduces a prospective new approach which addresses several issues others have failed to solve effectively. This approach, SCalable Aggregate Reservations (SCAR) is highly scalable, offers additional functionality, and is quite flexible and robust in supporting QoS for networked applications.
Reverse Fuel Cell Operation on Load Change: Model and Experimental Study (2005)

Achieving safe and reliable transient solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operation is important for many power generation applications. To date, most reported studies on transient loading are presented as a minor aspect of other steady state performance studies. In addition, only a few modeling studies on the electrochemical performance of SOFCs have been reported, and in these only for relatively small load changes. In this paper we review recent model results examining the transient performance of three common SOFC geometries (cross-flow, co-flow, and counter-flow) during large load/unload events. Of particular note for large load decrease conditions (e.g., shutdown) is the occurrence of reverse current over significant portions of the cell, starting from the moment of load loss up to the point where equilibrated conditions again provide positive current. Test results of a button cell operated under reverse current are also reported to help begin to identify what effects such operation may have on fuel cell performance and durability.
Enterocyte fatty acid uptake and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (2004)

This article reviews our current understanding of the uptake of fatty acids by the enterocytes of the intestine. The micellar solubilization of fatty acids by bile salts and the factors regulating that process are discussed. The mechanism of how micellar solubilization of fatty acids promotes the uptake of fatty acids by enterocytes and their relative importance is reviewed. Additionally, discussion of the various fatty acid transporters located at the brush border membrane of the enterocytes is included. Finally, a summary of our current understanding of the function of fatty-acid-binding proteins inside enterocytes is provided.
Adaptive-fuzzy logic control of robot manipulators (2002)

This paper presents a methodology for the design of fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) that guarantees prescribed performance for a general robotic system. It is shown that the proposed online learning algorithm learns the stabilizing membership functions (MFs) online from initial MFs that are selected using simple design criteria. From a practical standpoint, the controller structure leads to efficient implementation and fills a void that existed in the lack of repeatable design methodologies for FLC implementation.

Present aspect and possibilities of electroorganic synthesis from the viewpoint of industrial use. Trend in patent applications. (1985)

In recent years, new industrial uses of electroorganic synthesis have been spurred by much advances in the fields of its chemistry, engineering and material. In the light of a variety of merits and demerits of this specific technique in comparison with other chemical methods, it may be applied to production of highly valuable compounds, particularly pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, perfume and high-qualified color-stuff, more favorably than to that of commodity chemicals.This review article deals wich specific characters of electroorganic synthesis from the viewpoint of industrial applications, presently commercialized electroorganic processes, current aspect of research and development, and some useful examples of electroorganic reactions described in recently applied patents.
Statistics of the polarization mode dispersion dynamics (2007)

We characterize the joint two-time statistics of the polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) vector. Good agreement with experimental PMD measurements taken on an installed system is achieved. The results can be used to obtain the temporal evolution of the average penalty of a system close to an outage condition.
Memo to the New Digital Agenda Commissioner (2010)

Senior Resident Fellows Reinhilde Veugelers and Bruno van Pottelsberghe provide recommendations for the term of new Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes in this supplement to Bruegel's Memos to the New Commission - Europe's Economic Priorities 2010-2015. They argue that Kroes should move past a focus on infrastructure and concentrate more on ICT's potential to contribute to growth in the European Union. This should include a focus on emerging ICT products and services to helpl foster an ICT single market and more public support for R&D and innovation, through tailored programmes designed to aid high-risk innovative projects conceived by new ICT companies.
Diode UV detectors using oxide semiconductor thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering (2004)

This paper describes the fabrication of pn heterojunction thin-film diodes using polycrystalline oxide semiconducting thin films. Al-oped ZnO (AZO) and Mg-doped CuCrO<sub>2</sub> (CuCrO<sub>2</sub>:Mg) thin films used as n- and p-type oxide semiconducting layers, respectively, were prepared on glass substrates by r.f. magnetron sputtering using a powder target. The resulting p-type CuCrO<sub>2</sub>:Mg thin films prepared with a Mg content of 7 at.% exhibited at resistivity as low as 1.3x10<sup>-2</sup>Ωcm and a band-gap energy of 3.3 eV. The voltage-current (V-I) characteristic of a pn junction fabricated using p<sup>+</sup>-CuCrO<sub>2</sub>:Mg and n<sup>+</sup>-AZO thin films exhibited an ohmic, or linear, relationship. In addition, a pin heterojunction diode was fabricated by depositing high resistivity undoped ZnO and CuCrO<sub>2</sub> thin-film layers, or i-layers, between the n<sup>+ </sup>-AZO and the p<sup>+</sup>-CuCrO<sub>2</sub>:Mg thin-film layers. The resulting p<sup>+</sup>-CuCrO<sub>2</sub>:Mg/i-CuCrO<sub>2</sub>/i-ZnO/n<sup>+</sup>-AZO thin-film pin junction diode exhibited a rectifying V-I characteristic and a photovoltage under UV light illumination.
Tailored-waveform collisional activation of peptide ion electron transfer survivor ions in cation transmission mode ion/ion reaction experiments (2009)

Broadband resonance excitation via a tailored waveform in a high pressure collision cell (Q2) on a hybrid quadrupole/time-of-flight (QqTOF) tandem mass spectrometer has been implemented for cation transmission mode electron transfer ion/ion reactions of tryptic polypeptides. The frequency components in the broadband waveform were defined to excite the first generation intact electron transfer products for relatively large tryptic peptides. The optimum amplitude of the arbitrary waveform applied has been determined empirically to be 3.0 V(p-p), which is effective for relatively high mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio precursor ions with little elimination of sequence information for low m/z ions. The application of broadband activation during the transmission mode ion/ion reaction obviates frequency and amplitude tuning normally associated with ion trap collision induced dissociation (CID). This approach has been demonstrated with triply and doubly charged tryptic peptides with and without post-translational modifications. Enhanced structural information was achieved by production of a larger number of informative c- and z-type fragments using the tailored waveform on unmodified and modified (phosphorylated and glycosylated) peptides when the first generation intact electron transfer products fell into the defined frequency range. This approach can be applied to a wide range of tryptic peptide ions, making it attractive as a rapid and general approach for ETD LC-MS/MS of tryptic peptides in a QqTOF instrument.
A pharmacy resident‐driven pneumococcal vaccination protocol increases vaccination rates in hospitalized patients over 65 years (2019)

Introduction Pneumococcal disease remains a leading cause of serious illness in adults aged 65 years and older. Despite this, pneumococcal vaccination rates remain suboptimal in this population. Objectives To implement a pharmacy resident‐driven pneumococcal vaccination protocol and to assess vaccination rates and the return on investment (ROI) for patients age 65 years and older admitted to an internal medicine service at an academic medical center. Methods A retrospective, single center review of a newly implemented pharmacy resident‐driven pneumococcal vaccination protocol targeting patients age 65 years and older admitted to an internal medicine service was conducted. The primary outcome was the percentage of eligible patients, as defined by the Center for Disease Control vaccination guidelines, who received a pneumococcal vaccine prior to discharge over a 60‐day period. The secondary outcome was ROI from the hospital perspective, which was calculated as follows: net profit (defined as total revenue—total cost) divided by total cost and then multiplied by 100. Pneumococcal vaccination rates and ROI data were presented descriptively. Results A total of 84 patients were included in the pharmacy resident‐driven protocol, 37 (42%) of whom were up‐to‐date on their pneumococcal vaccinations. Among the remaining 51 vaccine‐eligible patients, 33 (64.7%) were vaccinated prior to hospital discharge: 19/33 (57.6%) received the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) vaccine and 14/33 (42.4%) received the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) vaccine. The total revenue and cost generated by the protocol over the 60‐day period was $8276.10 and $6406.88, respectively. The ROI for the protocol was calculated to be 29.2%. Conclusion The implementation of a pharmacy resident‐driven pneumococcal vaccination protocol increased pneumococcal vaccination rates while also serving as a revenue source. Health care systems may consider implementing a similar protocol to increase vaccination rates and provide novel revenue generating models for their institution.
Extending the operational limits of the push-pull converter with SiC devices and an active energy recovery clamp circuit (2015)

This paper presents a push-pull converter as a promising alternative to more complex and more costly isolated dc-dc converters for cost-sensitive, high-performance applications. The push-pull converter utilizes silicon carbide (SiC) power devices along with an active energy recovery clamp (AERC) circuit to extend the conventional operational limits of the topology. The SiC devices provide higher voltage blocking capability while maintaining low on-resistance as well as low switching energy. The AERC allows for nearly all of the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer to be transferred back to the input capacitors without adding any control complexity to the system. The use of SiC devices along with the AERC allows for the push-pull converter to operate at a higher voltage, higher current, and higher switching frequency while maintaining high efficiency. In this work a prototype is developed to be operated with an input voltage of 400 V, a switching frequency of 200 kHz, and an output power greater than 5 kW. The performance of this prototype is compared to the same push-pull converter using an RCD clamp and significant improvements in efficiency are seen. The push-pull converter with AERC also shows higher efficiency across a wide range of output power conditions when compared to a soft-switching phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converter with similar design specifications. Overall a maximum efficiency of 96.5% was measured at an output power of 3.7 kW for the push-pull converter with AERC.
Gap plasmon polariton structure for very efficient microscale-to-nanoscale interfacing (2006)

The seamless transition between microscale photonics and nanoscale plasmonics requires overpassing different waveguiding mechanisms and a few orders of magnitude in the lateral dimension. Exploiting gap plasmon-polariton waves both at the microscale and nanoscale with an ultrashort (few micrometers) nonadiabatic tapered gap plasmon waveguide, we show theoretically that very high-power transfer efficiency (approximately 70%) is achieved. The same mechanism may be used to harvest impinging light waves and direct them into a nanohole or slit to exhibit an anomalous transmission without the conventional periodic structures. The interplay of plasmonic and oscillating modes is analyzed.

Interpreting IR Difference Spectra (1991)

From the evaluation of sample difference spectra based on Gaussian “model” peaks with known peak characteristics, it is shown that interpretation of some parameters from difference spectra, resulting from the ratioing or subtraction of a poor background spectra, may be inaccurate or misleading. Difference spectra of this type are commonly observed with the use of techniques such as subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS), electrochemically modulated infrared reflectance spectroscopy (EMIRS), or similar infrared spectroelectrochemical techniques, as well as some microsample analyses, studies of biochemical processes, and infrared astronomical observations, to name just a few examples. A mathematical evaluation of the problem is offered to demonstrate what information may realistically be gained from the characteristics of difference spectra. It is shown that in the worst case, where frequency, intensity, and peak width are all changing due to some perturbation of the sample (e.g., from temperature, or surface potential changes between background and sample spectra, etc.), even a qualitative interpretation may not be possible. In many practical cases, however, we show that at least a qualitative interpretation of the data can be obtained from difference spectra. Spectroelectrochemical applications for the calculations shown here are presented as examples, although these results impact a wider range of applications.
Performance of Preformed Au/Cu Nanoclusters Deposited on MgO Powders in the Catalytic Reduction of 4‐Nitrophenol in Solution (2018)

The deposition of preformed nanocluster beams onto suitable supports represents a new paradigm for the precise preparation of heterogeneous catalysts. The performance of the new materials must be validated in model catalytic reactions. It is shown that gold/copper (Au/Cu) nanoalloy clusters (nanoparticles) of variable composition, created by sputtering and gas phase condensation before deposition onto magnesium oxide powders, are highly active for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol in solution at room temperature. Au/Cu bimetallic clusters offer decreased catalyst cost compared with pure Au and the prospect of beneficial synergistic effects. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy coupled with aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging confirms that the Au/Cu bimetallic clusters have an alloy structure with Au and Cu atoms randomly located. Reaction rate analysis shows that catalysts with approximately equal amounts of Au and Cu are much more active than Au-rich or Cu-rich clusters. Thus, the interplay between the Au and Cu atoms at the cluster surface appears to enhance the catalytic activity substantially, consistent with model density functional theory calculations of molecular binding energies. Moreover, the physically deposited clusters with Au/Cu ratio close to 1 show a 25-fold higher activity than an Au/Cu reference sample made by chemical impregnation.
Differential Effects of 4′‐Chlorodiazepam on Expressed Human GABA<sub>A</sub> Receptors (1995)

The interactions of the atypical benzodiazepine 4'-chlorodiazepam (Ro 5-4864) with functionally expressed human GABAA receptor cDNAs were determined. Cotransfection of human alpha 2, beta 1, and gamma 2 subunits was capable of reconstituting a 4'-chlorodiazepam recognition site as revealed by a dose-dependent potentiation of t-[35S]butylbicyclophosphorothionate ([35S]-TBPS) binding to the GABA-activated chloride channel. This site is found on GABAA receptor complexes containing sites for GABA agonist-like benzodiazepines and neuroactive steroids. The importance of the alpha subunit was further demonstrated as substitution of either alpha 1 or alpha 3 for the alpha 2 subunit did not reconstitute a 4'-chlorodiazepam recognition site that was capable of modulating [35S]TBPS binding under the same experimental conditions. The 4'-chlorodiazepam modulatory site was shown to be distinct from the benzodiazepine site, but the phenylquinolines PK 8165 and PK 9084 produced effects similar to 4'-chlorodiazepam, consistent with the previous analysis of the 4'-chlorodiazepam site in brain homogenates. Further analysis of the subunit requirements revealed that coexpression of alpha 2 and beta 1 alone reconstituted a 4'-chlorodiazepam recognition site. It is interesting, however, that the 4'-chlorodiazepam site was found to inhibit [35S]TBPS binding to the GABA-activated chloride channel. Thus, the 4'-chlorodiazepam site may be reconstituted with only the alpha and beta polypeptides.
A Tool for Gas Turbine Maintenance Scheduling (2009)

We describe the implementation and deployment of a software decision support tool for the maintenance planning of gas turbines. The tool is used to plan the maintenance for turbines manufactured and maintained by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB (SIT AB) with the goal to reduce the direct maintenance costs and the often very costly production losses during maintenance downtime. The optimization problem is formally defined, and we argue that feasibility in it is NP-complete. We outline a heuristic algorithm that can quickly solve the problem for practical purposes, and validate the approach on a real-world scenario based on an oil production facility. We also compare the performance of our algorithm with results from using mixed integer linear programming, and discuss the deployment of the application. The experimental results indicate that downtime reductions up to 65% can be achieved, compared to traditional preventive maintenance. In addition, using our tool is expected to improve availability with up to 1% and reduce the number of planned maintenance days with 12%. Compared to a mixed integer programming approach, our algorithm not optimal, but is orders of magnitude faster and produces results which are useful in practice. Our test results and SIT AB’s estimates based on operational use both indicate that significant savings can be achieved by using our software tool, compared to maintenance plans with fixed intervals.

Coalescence Avalanches in Liquid Aluminum Foams (2017)

Coalescence is the rupture of a film between two adjacent bubbles in any type of liquid foam and has pronounced influence on the development of its macrostructure after solidification, mostly leading to larger pores and a wider size distribution. Foamable AlSi6Cu4 + 0.5 wt % TiH2 precursors made following the powder metallurgical route were foamed in a gas-tight X-ray transparent furnace under 500 kPa (5 bar) pressure with subsequent pressure release. Coalescence was investigated by fast X-ray radioscopy at a frame rate of 1250 Hz and an effective pixel size of 9 µm at the beamline ID-19, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), Grenoble, France. A self-developed program yielded the temporal and spatial detection of coalescence events in the acquired radioscopies. We observed the occurrence of film ruptures in a short temporal and spatial distance and we will refer to these phenomena as “avalanches”.
