Electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics of H‐shaped fractal antenna for dual‐band microbolometer and study on the influence of bias line resistivity on microbolometer characteristics (2014)

A dual‐band microbolometer coupled with an H‐shaped fractal antenna, which can detect both infrared (IR) and THz waves simultaneously is proposed. Firstly, the H‐shaped fractal antenna for 125 and 500 μm dual‐bands is proposed by using the dipole antenna formula and finite element method (FEM) simulation. On the basis of simulation results, the H‐shaped fractal antenna for the microbolometer is fabricated and the electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics of it are measured. Transmission measurement successfully confirmed the absorption peaks near the aimed for two wavelengths in the IR and THz regions, respectively. It showed that the proposed microbolometer coupled with the H‐shaped fractal antenna is considered as a useful tool for widely separated multi‐band detection. Moreover, for the microbolometer design, the influence of bias line resistivity on microbolometer characteristics with two different bias line materials by the FEM simulation is studied. It is observed that the electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics of the microbolometer are affected by the resistivity of the bias line material, especially when the parallel polarised incident wave to the bias line formation direction is irradiated.
<title>Diffuse illumination as a default assumption for shape-from-shading in the absence of shadows</title> (1997)

Radial sinusoids (blurry spoke patterns) appear dramatically saturated toward the brighter regions. The saturation is not perceptually logarithmic but exhibits a hyperbolic (Naka- Rushton) compression behavior at normal indoor luminance levels. The object interpretation of the spoke patterns was not consistent with the default assumption of any unidirectional light source, but implied a diffuse illumination (as if the object were looming out of a fog). The depth interpretation was consistent with the hypothesis that the compressed brightness profile provided the neural signal for perceived shape, as an approximation to computing the diffuse Lambertian illumination function for this surface. The surface material of the images was perceived as non-Lambertian to varying degrees, ranging from a chalky matte to a lustrous metallic.
Accelerated Heck reaction using <i>ortho</i>‐palladated complex with controlled microwave heating (2009)

Abstract Palladium‐catalyzed Heck couplings utilizing [Pd{C 6 H 2 (CH 2 CH 2 NH 2 )‐(OMe) 2 ,3,4} (µ‐Br)] 2 palladacycle catalyst and microwave irradiation lead to formation of different coupling products. This complex is an active and efficient catalyst for the Heck reaction of aryl iodides, bromides and even less reactive chlorides. The cross‐coupled products were produced in excellent yields. The reaction time was reduced from hours to minutes and full conversion was achieved under microwave irradiation. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
General AC constraint transformation for analog ICs (1998)

The problem of designing complex analog circuits is attacke dusing a hier archic altop-down, constr aint-driven design methodolo gy. In this methodolo gy, constraints are prop agate dautomatically from high-level specific ationsto physic aldesign through a sequence of gradual transformations. Constraint tr ansformation is a critic al step in the methodolo gy, sinc e it determines in lar ge p art the degree to which specific ations are met. In this pap er we describ e how constr ainttransformations can be efficiently carrie d out using hier ar chic al parameter modeling and constr aine d optimization techniques. The process supp orts c omplexhigh-level sp ecific ation handling and accounts for second-order effects, such as inter connect parasitics and mismatches. The suitability of the appr oachis demonstrate d through an 4th order active filter test case.
Metabolic Efficiency with Ranolazine for Less Ischemia in Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes (MERLIN TIMI-36) study (2007)

Ranolazine is a piperazine derivative believed to reduce anginal symptoms by preventing ischemia-mediated sodium and calcium overload in myocardial cells through inhibition of the late sodium current (late INa). Three small studies demonstrated the antianginal efficacy of ranolazine alone and in combination with betablockers or calcium channel blockers on conventional end points such as total exercise duration and time to ischemia/angina on a treadmill; however, questions of safety related to QT prolongation, efficacy in women and potential utility in higher risk populations remained. Metabolic Efficiency with Ranolazine for Less Ischemia in Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (MERLIN-TIMI) 36 was a large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of ranolazine initiated acutely and continued as chronic therapy following a non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome event. A total of 6560 patients were randomized 1:1 to ranolazine or placebo; the primary efficacy end point of the trial was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or recurrent ischemia. The key safety end points were death from any cause and symptomatic documented arrhythmia. Although statistically significant differences between the ranolazine and placebo groups were not reached in the primary efficacy analysis or in the major secondary outcome end point analyses (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or severe recurrent ischemia), the individual component of recurrent ischemia was significantly reduced by ranolazine, and ranolazine was demonstrated to be safe.

Post-layout comparison of high performance 64b static adders in energy-delay space (2007)

Our objective was to determine the most energy efficient 64 b static CMOS adder architecture, for a range of high-performance delay targets. We examine extensively carry-lookahead (CLA) and carry-select adders with a wide range of tradeoffs in logic levels, fanouts and wiring complexity. We propose sparse CLA adder architectures based on buffering techniques to reduce logic redundancy and improve energy efficiency. All the designs were implemented using an energy-delay layout optimization flow with full RC extraction. Our new 64 b adder designs have a relative delay as low as 9.9 F04 (fanout-offour inverter) delays and promise better scaling for smaller technology nodes. They yield the best energy efficiency for a wide range of delay targets and are 30%, 15% and 7% more energy efficient than full Kogge-Stone, sparse-2 Kogge-Stone and Han-Carlson, respectively, at the fastest points. They consume only about 1/3 the energy of dynamic adders.
Identification of a Fibroblast Growth Factor-Binding Protein in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> (1991)

As assessed by competitive binding and protein-crosslinking experiments, Drosophila melanogaster cells possess basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-specific binding proteins that are similar to FGF receptors on vertebrate cells in molecular weight and binding affinity; these D. melanogaster cells, however, have no detectable binding proteins for acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). Consistent with the presence of bFGF-specific binding proteins, D. melanogaster cells degrade bFGF but not aFGF. These results indicate the conservation of heparin-binding growth factors and receptors between vertebrates and D. melanogaster.
PERCEPTION OF MUSIC AND DIMENSIONAL COMPLEXITY OF BRAIN ACTIVITY (1996)

The nonlinear resonance hypothesis of music perception was tested in an experiment comparing a group of musically sophisticated and a group of less sophisticated subjects. The prediction that weakly chaotic music entrains less complex brain wave (EEG) oscillations at the prefrontal cortex was confirmed by using a correlational dimension algorithm. Strongly chaotic (stochastic) and periodic music both stimulated higher brain wave complexity. More sophisticated subjects who prefer classical music showed higher EEG dimensions while less sophisticated subjects responded with a drop in brain wave complexity to rhythmical weakly chaotic music. Subjects ratings of perceived complexity of the musical pieces followed mathematical (objective) structure of the music and did not reflect the changes in brain wave complexity. The results are interpreted in the context of an associated (Hebbian) network theory of nonlinear brain dynamics.

The influence of ionic liquid's nature on free radical polymerization of vinyl monomers and ionic conductivity of the obtained polymeric materials (2006)

Abstract Various 1,3‐dialkylimidazolium and tetraalkylphosphonium ionic liquids (ILs), including novel ones, have been studied as reaction media for free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylonitrile (AN) and 1‐vinyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium salts (ViEtIm + )Y − . The influence of IL's nature upon the polymer formulation was investigated. The use of different ionic liquids allows not only to obtain the polymers with high molecular weight (PMMA, ${\bar M}_w$ up to 5,770,000 g/mol; PAN, ${\bar M}_v$ up to 735,000 g/mol and poly[(ViEtIm + )Y − ], $\bar M_z$ up to 1,130,000 g/mol) in high yields, but also to control the polymerization rate and molecular mass. The physicochemical characteristics, including mechanical properties, thermal stability and heat‐resistance of the obtained polymers were studied in order to compare with those of polymers prepared in a traditional media. It was found that elongation, tensile modulus and strength of PAN, which was synthesized in ionic liquid, are reliatively higher. The influence of IL's nature upon their ionic conductivity and the formation of conductive polymers from molten‐salt‐type vinyl monomers was investigated. Molecular design of the polymers simultaneously with the influence of IL's nature in order to achieve higher ionic conductivity is discussed. Flexible, transparent polymer films, obtained in different ways, show relatively high ionic conductivity (of about 10 −5 S cm −1 at 20°C). Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Optimising the Application of Multiple-Capture Traps for Invasive Species Management Using Spatial Simulation (2015)

Internationally, invasive vertebrate species pose a significant threat to biodiversity, agricultural production and human health. To manage these species a wide range of tools, including traps, are used. In New Zealand, brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), stoats (Mustela ermine), and ship rats (Rattus rattus) are invasive and there is an ongoing demand for cost-effective non-toxic methods for controlling these pests. Recently, traps with multiple-capture capability have been developed which, because they do not require regular operator-checking, are purported to be more cost-effective than traditional single-capture traps. However, when pest populations are being maintained at low densities (as is typical of orchestrated pest management programmes) it remains uncertain if it is more cost-effective to use fewer multiple-capture traps or more single-capture traps. To address this uncertainty, we used an individual-based spatially explicit modelling approach to determine the likely maximum animal-captures per trap, given stated pest densities and defined times traps are left between checks. In the simulation, single- or multiple-capture traps were spaced according to best practice pest-control guidelines. For possums with maintenance densities set at the lowest level (i.e. 0.5/ha), 98% of all simulated possums were captured with only a single capacity trap set at each site. When possum density was increased to moderate levels of 3/ha, having a capacity of three captures per trap caught 97% of all simulated possums. Results were similar for stoats, although only two potential captures per site were sufficient to capture 99% of simulated stoats. For rats, which were simulated at their typically higher densities, even a six-capture capacity per trap site only resulted in 80% kill. Depending on target species, prevailing density and extent of immigration, the most cost-effective strategy for pest control in New Zealand might be to deploy several single-capture traps rather than investing in fewer, but more expense, multiple-capture traps.

Predictions of Carbon Fluxes During a Low Pressure Carburizing Treatment (2001)

Abstract This paper presents the qualitative assessment of a novel device developed for the regulation of carburizing processes in industrial vacuum furnaces. The proposed device involves a U-shaped thin wall iron tube: the outside surface of the tube is exposed to the carburizing atmosphere simultaneously with the workload, while the decarburizing gas mixture (here H2 + H2O) is circulated inside the tube. The outflow of decarburizing mixture is then continuously analyzed and eventually permits to determine the carbon potential and the transfer coefficient at the interface between the carburizing atmosphere and the workloads. To assess the principle, the probe has been used to compare the carburizing powers of different gases (propane, methane, ethylene, and acetylene) for a specific set of parameters. The results reported here, compared with microhardness and micrographies of the samples, indicate that the probe can indeed be used to carry out this task.
Preclinical<i>in vivo</i>ADME studies in drug development: a critical review (2012)

These experiments may sometimes still be relevant to explain toxicological findings or for other special purposes but should not be considered required pieces of the registration dossiers. An appropriate investigation of samples coming from safety evaluation and human Phase I studies and the knowledge generated during the lead optimization phase provide, in most instances, all the DMPK information needed to take decisions in the drug development process.
Quantum theory of propagation of nonclassical radiation in a near-resonant medium (1991)

We develop the quantum theory of the propagation of nonclassical radiation in a nearly resonant medium. The medium is taken to have two levels, which are coupled by the radiation field. Heisenberg equations of motion are developed and compared with stochastic equations in a positive P representation. Initial conditions for absorbers and amplifiers are calculated, so that, for example, superfluorescence or self-induced transparency can be treated. The theoretical methods introduced here allow nonclassical statistics of the radiation field to be calculated such as photon antibunching or squeezing. Both radiative and collisional damping are included.
Impact of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway alterations on the outcome of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) treated with first-line chemotherapy (CHT) (2007)

7607 Background: Molecular alterations along the EGFR pathway have been proposed to be the major determinant of clinical outcome in response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibition in NSCLC pts. However, their potential impact on sensitivity to CHT has not been studied in detail. Methods: Advanced NSCLC pts undergoing CHT were screened for EGFR gene mutations (by SSCP and sequencing) and/or increased copy number (by FISH), EGFR protein expression (by IHC), and HER-2, phosphorylated AKT (pAKT), and total AKT protein expression (by IHC). Correlation between specific molecular alterations and clinical outcome (ORR, PFS, and OS) was then retrospectively explored using both the Cox regression model as well as classification and regression trees (CART) analysis. Results: One hundred and twenty seven pts were screened and 93 received 1st-line CHT. The frequency of EGFR pathway alterations is shown in Table 1 . At a median follow up of 13 mos, survival analysis revealed that true EGFR gene amplification is the only significant predictor of worst OS (p=0.004). No significant correlation was found with PFS. ORR was significantly worse in HER-2-positive pts (p=0.03). CART analysis confirmed that true EGFR gene amplification negatively affect OS, followed by EGFR gene mutation and chromosome 7 polysomy in non-amplified and non-amplified/non-mutated pts, respectively. Conclusions: EGFR pathway alterations significantly impact on outcome following 1st-line CHT for advanced NSCLC. HER-2 overexpression negatively impacts on ORR, but not on PFS and OS. This information maybe useful in selecting appropriate treatment algorithm for advanced NSCLC pts. No significant financial relationships to disclose. [Table: see text]
An EPR study of a new low-temperature phase transition in KLiSO<sub>4</sub>:MoO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> (1988)

A new phase transition is observed in the KLiSOJ crystals below 77 K using MOO,'as a paramagnetic probe. The EPR spectra of this molecular ion, which substitutes for the host S 0 4 2 -ion, show a triclinic symmetry at 77 K due to the joint action of a trigonal crystal field and a trigonal Jahn-Teller effect of E 8 e type, Above 77 K , motional averaging in the a-b plane occurs; thereby an axial spectrum is observed. Below 64 K, the two sulphate sites are no longer equivalent resulting in the appearance of two distinct EPR spectra of the molybdate ion. The possible space groups of the crystal in the vicinity of the phase transition are discussed. Our results indicate that one needs to distinguish carefully between the local dynamics and the structural changes in this crystal.
Monetary and Fiscal Policy in a Liquidity Trap (2006)

Abstract This chapter employs both theoretical and empirical tools to examine Japanese macroeconomic stabilization over the past five years. The role of fiscal policy in a liquidity trap is reviewed. It is shown that market participants expected that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) would not adopt expansionary monetary policy sufficient to offset an expected decline in the natural rate of interest. The Japanese government has been diverging from Ricardian fiscal policy since the latter half of the 1990s. The optimal commitment solution can be enforced through history-dependent inflation targeting in which the target inflation rate is revised depending on the past performance of monetary policy. The commitment of BOJ failed to have a sufficient impact on the market's expectations about the future course of monetary policy. Moreover, it is noted that the primary surplus in 1999–2002 was higher than predicted by the historical regularity.

Reaction of Flax to Dicamba Applied at Several Stages (1969)

Flax ( Linum usitatissimum L., var. Bolley) was susceptible very early, when less than 2 inches tall, 1965 only, and during flowering, to 3,6-dichloro- o -anisic acid (dicamba) as determined from 9 consecutive weekly applications in the field in 1965 and 1966. Dicamba decreased flaxseed yield, percent oil and iodine number of the oil, seed size, seed germination, and plant height, and increased the days to maturity by application at either one or both of the susceptible stages of flax.
Abstract 2194: Predictors of <i>RyR2</i> Genotype Among Patients Referred for Long QT Syndrome Genetic Testing (2007)

Introduction : Type 1 catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT1) is pursuant to mutations in the RyR2- encoded cardiac ryanodine receptor. Recently, we discovered nearly as many CPVT1-causing mutations as LQT3-causing mutations in a large cohort of unrelated LQTS referral patients. Here, we examine potential predictors of RyR2 genotype (CPVT1) among LQTS referral patients. Methods : Previously, comprehensive mutational analysis of the LQT1–10 susceptibility genes was completed for 541 unrelated patients (358 females, average age at diagnosis = 24 years, average QTc = 482 ms) referred for LQTS genetic testing. Using PCR, DHPLC, and DNA sequencing, we performed targeted analysis of RyR2 involving 44 exons (8–15, 37–49, 83–105) for the 260 unrelated referrals (172 females, average age at diagnosis = 25 years, average QTc = 470 ms) that remained “genotype-negative” following LQTS genetic testing. Results : Overall, 22 distinct RyR2 mutations (19 novel) were seen in 23 (8.8%, 12 females, average age at diagnosis = 22 ±14 years) unrelated “genotype-negative” LQTS individuals. Compared to patients with either genetically proven LQTS or the remaining genotype negative cohort, the RyR2 -positive cohort had significantly lower average QTc (419 ms vs 494 ms, p =2.4 ×10 −6 ; vs 472 ms, p = 0.005) and was more likely to experience either syncope (88% vs 66%, p = 0.06 vs 53%, p = 0.008) or cardiac arrest (56% vs 23%, p = 0.006 vs 17%, p = 0.001). Overall, 123 of the 541 LQTS referrals (23%) exhibited exertion-induced cardiac events (68 LQTS gene positive; 42 gene negative, and 13 RyR2-positive). Every RyR2 -positive case with an exertionally-triggered event had a QTc ≤ 460 ms, compared to only 17% of LQTS gene positive cases (p = 0.1 × 10 −8 ) and 24% of LQT1 cases. None of the exertion-induced LQTS gene positive cases had a QTc ≤ 420 ms. Conclusions: Failure to distinguish CPVT from LQTS can be a fatal mistake, as individuals with CPVT1 have a more severe phenotype and are much less protected by beta blocker therapy than those with LQT1. CPVT1, rather than concealed LQT1, should lead the differential diagnosis in the setting of syncope/cardiac arrest during exercise and a normal resting QTc.
