Characterization of available coals from Illinois mines. Technical report, December 1, 1992--February 28, 1993 (1993)

The goal of this project is to characterize marketed coals from Illinois mines. The results generated by this project will promote Illinois coals for prospective new markets as feed materials for advanced gasification processes, for synthetic organic chemicals, and help asses future environmental requirements for abatement of noxious trace elements. The properties that are being determined include the concentration of all trace elements that are of environmental concern, the pyrite size distribution and maceral association, preliminary froth flotation cleanability, slagging and fouling characteristics relevant to the coal`s behavior in utility boilers, chlorine forms and distribution, and certain gasification and rheology parameters. We completed collection and processing of samples of 34 marketed coals that represent the products from a total of 40 mines. All the samples were submitted for standard coal and trace element analyses, and some of the analytical tasks were completed. There was a considerable amount of trace element data on face channel samples scattered in various files at the ISGS. In order to establish useful correlations between the marketed coal and face channel samples, the existing files were integrated and edited for accuracy and completeness.
Drag-Based Predictive Tracking Guidance for Mars Precision Landing (2000)

Future Mars missions require precision landing capability. An entry guidance law is developed for a lander with flying capabilities consistent with those expected for the lander in the 2001 mission. The lander flight path is controlled by bank angle adjustments. The guidance law belongs to the class of drag-based predictive tracking guidance laws which includes the entry guidance law for the Space Shuttle Orbiter. Modifications relative to the Shuttle entry guidance law are introduced to accommodate the very low lift capability and the combination of a low bandwidth attitude control system and a fixed trim angle of attack. Monte Carlo results show that even with a maximum lift-to-drag ratio of only 0.12 a specified parachute deployment latitude/longitude point can be achieved with 99% certainty to within 13.2 km under the assumed worst case dispersions. The dynamic pressure and Mach number constraints for parachute deployment are also satisfied with 99% certainty.

Influence of Process Variables on Gasification of Corn Silage in Supercritical Water (2006)

Gasification of 5 wt % (DOM) corn silage in supercritical water was investigated in a continuous flow reactor. The influence of pressure, temperature, and residence time on the gas yield was determined. Changing the pressure in the range 250−400 bar did not alter the gas yield. The temperature was varied from 300 to 700 °C. At higher temperature, the conversion of biomass in supercritical water was completed. At lower temperature, the biomass is partly converted, and the gas yield is decreased. Residence time variations from 0.6 to 10 min revealed for each investigated temperature that with longer residence time, gas yield increased until a maximum was reached. Gas composition changed with residence time and temperature. At higher temperature, more hydrogen, methane, and ethane were obtained. The gas yield can be modeled in the studied conditions by assuming a zero-order kinetic.
Fabrication and Electrical Properties of Lead Zirconate Titanate Thick Films (1996)

Thick films of lead zirconate titanate of the morphotropic phase boundary composition, Pb(Zr 0.52 Ti 0.48 )O 3 , have been fabricated on platinum‐buffered silicon using a modified sol–gel spin‐coating technique. Crack‐free films of 12‐μm thickness can be uniformly deposited on 3‐in.‐diameter wafers with high yield and properties comparable to those of bulk ceramics. The thickness dependence of film structure and the dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties have been characterized over the thickness range of 1–12 μm. A strong (100) texture develops as film thickness increases above 5 μm; the films were marked by saturation values of longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient d 33 , 340 pC/N; remanent polarization, 27 μC/cm 2 ; and dielectric permittivity, 1450. PZT films in this thickness range are extremely well‐suited to application as electromechanical transduction media in silicon‐based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

Challenges of Determining O-Glycopeptide Heterogeneity: A Fungal Glucanase Model System (2010)

O-Linked glycosylation often occurs in mucin-type domains that are heavily and heterogeneously glycosylated and are challenging to analyze. The analysis of these domains is often overlooked because of these difficulties, but changes in mucinlike domain glycosylation are implicated in many diseases. Here we have explored several strategies to determine the heterogeneity of mucinlike O-glycosylated domains. Four glucanases secreted in large quantities from Trichoderma reesei, all containing heavily O-glycosylated mucinlike linker regions, were used as a model system. The strategies involved monosaccharide compositional analysis and identification of the released glycans by HPAEC-PAD and carbon-LC ESI-MS/MS. Glycosylated peptides were generated by different protease digestions (trypsin, papain, Asp-N, PreTAQ) and enriched by HILIC microcolumns, to determine the glycopeptide heterogeneity and glycosylation sites. The complex O-glycan heterogeneity on the intact glycoproteins and the enriched mucin-type domains was determined by MALDI-MS and ESI-MS, but the dense O-glycosylation in the mucin-type domains conferred high resistance to protease cleavage. ETD-MS/MS of the glycopeptide-enriched protease digests was unsuccessful for the de novo assignment of O-glycosylation at individual sites within the mucin-type domains but allowed several previously unknown O-linked sites outside the defined linker region to be found on two of the four glucanases. The protease digests produced many glycopeptides as determined by CID-MS/MS, but ETD fragmentation of these resulted in only a few interpretable spectra, suggesting that the use of ETD for determining the heterogeneous O-glycosylation at specific sites in regions of multiple occupancy is still in its infancy.
Patterns in deer-related traffic injuries over a decade: the Mayo clinic experience (2010)

Motorcycle operators suffered higher ISS. There were no significant differences in median ISS if a driver involved in a deer-related motor vehicle crash swerved rather than collided, was helmeted, or restrained.
Use of Gaussian brackets in holographic optical design (1987)

The ability to factor expressions for the back focal distance and magnification of a multielement optical system in terms of the element powers and separations provides a simple means of investigating the dependence of the first-order optical properties (and their chromatic variations) on the system parameters. The Gaussian bracket expressions for the first-order properties of multielement systems consist of products and sums of the expressions for the elements rather than continued fractions. By examining the structure of the Gaussian bracket expressions for an arbitrary system, conclusions of a general nature may be formed. A rigorous proof is given that any achromatic image of a real object which is formed by an all-holographic imaging system must be virtual regardless of the number of holographic elements in the system. Also, a three-hologram imaging system is derived from the theory, and it Is shown to be the only three-element solution which is corrected for the chromatic difference of magnification and both primary and secondary longitudinal chromatic aberration. Although this solution has previously been found through other means, it was not known to be the only solution.

Phase Transition, Ordering and Lateral Diffusion in Phospholipid Bilayers in the Presence of Poly(Ethylene Oxide) (2012)

The thermal behaviour, molecular orientation and lateral diffusion in the bilayered systems of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were studied by NMR and DSC techniques, and it was found that PEO decreases the melting temperature (of vesicles and flat multibilayers) and affects the degree of orientation of DMPC molecules relative to the bilayer normal, but it does not influence the lateral diffusion of DMPC molecules.
Coyote as a Final Host for Sarcocystis Species of Goats, Sheep, Cattle, Elk, Bison, and Moose in Montana (1980)

Tissues (1 kg) from sheep, goats, cattle, moose, bison, or elk naturally infected with Sarcocystis species were fed to one to four Sarcocystis-free coyotes and the number of sporocysts in feces and intestines were counted. All 12 coyotes fed naturally infected tissues shed Sarcocystis in feces, with a prepatent period of 9 to 15 days. The four coyotes fed infected beef had 15, 25, 113, and 201 million sporocysts in their feces and intestines. The coyotes fed elk, moose, or bison had 2.5, 15, and 2.5 million sporocysts in their intestines, respectively. Sporocysts in feces of coyotes fed musculature of cattle, sheep, goats, and elk were structurally similar to those described previously from the feces of dogs. This is evidently the first report of the completion of life cycle of Sarcocystis species in moose and bison. Cross-transmission experiments indicated that one species of goat Sarcocystis completes its life cycle in both dog and coyote and that the ovine Sarcocystis is not transmissible to goats.
NEAT: an object oriented high-level synthesis interface (1994)

In this paper a flexible interface to high-level synthesis data (NEAT) is presented. NEAT offers three design views to common high-level synthesis data domains. Inter- and intra-domain relations are used to represent design relations between synthesis objects and to store synthesis results. To extend the functionality of the common synthesis interface programmers use object oriented programming techniques to create their own specific synthesis interface. Interaction between high-level synthesis tools is achieved by exchanging data using a common file-format, which can easily be extended. A graphical interface has been established to allow interactive interpretation and manipulation of synthesis results. NEAT offers unlimited extendibility and no restrictions towards synthesis trajectories, and therefore is highly suitable as a research platform.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Diagnostic pitfalls in fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the mediastinum (1997)

A retrospective review of 189 fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of the mediastinum from four university medical centers was performed. Review of Diff-Quick- and Papanicolaou-stained direct smears was performed from a series of 189 FNA biopsies along with surgical pathology correlation obtained in 42% of the cases. There were 28 (14.8%) nondiagnostic or unsatisfactory for diagnosis cases. Of the satisfactory FNA specimens with histologic correlation, 12 cases (6%) were discordant. These errors primarily involve subclassification of small-cell malignancies involving the mediastinum, including a misdiagnosis of small-cell carcinoma for lymphoma. Large-cell lesions that were problematic included the accurate diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma including the separation from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Large-cell lymphoma with sclerosis was misinterpreted in two cases due to distortion of cells by the mesenchymal tissue and sparsely cellular smears. In two cases classification of primary germ-cell tumors and separation from metastatic carcinoma was a problem. In general, FNA of the mediastinum is an accurate procedure, but can be challenging in a minority of cases due to sparse cellularity of the lesions and accurate classification of a variety of neoplasms that occur in this region. These 12 discordant cases serve as the basis of our report.

"Absolute" quantification in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: validation of a clinical protocol in multiple sclerosis (2007)

MRS allows to measure cerebral metabolites, thus helping to characterize brain disease diagnosis and followup. Metabolite concentration quantification is usually based on metabolite ratio referring to creatine. If this metabolite concentration is supposed to be constant, it may vary in pathological processes. Therefore, "absolute" concentration methodology is needed. The aim of this study is to validate a clinical "absolute" quantification protocol through the development of an external metabolic phantom, calibration and correction, and the investigation of reproducibility issues. When phantom stability was investigated by a short-term and a long-term reproducibility study, both Standard Deviations (SD) were in agreement with literature values. This "absolute" quantification method was applied to patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The results show a significant decrease in both N-Acetyl Aspartate (NAA) and choline concentrations.
The formation of ferritin from apoferritin. Kinetics and mechanism of iron uptake (1972)

Ferritin has a high capacity as an iron store, incorporating some 4500 iron atoms as a microcrystalline ferric oxide hydrate. Starting from apoferritin, or ferritin of low iron content, Fe(2+) and an oxidizing agent, the uptake of iron can be recorded spectrophotometrically. Progress curves were obtained and the reconstituted ferritin was shown by several physical methods to be similar to natural ferritin. The progress curves of iron uptake by apoferritin are sigmoidal; those for ferritins of low iron content are hyperbolic. The rate of iron uptake is dependent on the amount of iron already present in the molecule. The distribution of iron contents among reconstituted ferritin molecules is inhomogeneous. These findings are interpreted in terms of a crystal growth model. The surface area of the crystallites forming inside the protein increases until the molecule is half full, and then declines. This surface controls the rate at which new material is deposited. The experimental results can best be accounted for by a two-stage mechanism, an initial slow ;nucleation' stage, which is apparently zero order with respect to [Fe(2+)], followed by a more rapid ;growth' stage. The rate of Fe(2+) oxidation is increased in the presence of apoferritin as compared with controls. Ferritin can therefore be regarded as an enzyme to which the product remains firmly attached. The protein appears to increase the rate of ;nucleation'. The apparent zero order of this stage suggests the presence of binding sites on the protein, which are saturated with respect to Fe(2+). These sites are presumed also to be oxidation sites. The oxidation and subsequent formation of the ferric oxide hydrate may proceed according to one of three alternative models.

Emotion sharing via self-composed melodies on mobile phones (2009)

In their role as personal communication devices, mobile phones are a natural choice for sharing and communicating emotions. However, their functionalities are currently very limited in power to express affective messages. In this paper, we describe the design of a system that allows users to easily compose melodies and share them via mobile phones. We show that by using these melodies information about the current emotional state of the sender can be expressed and recognized synchronously by the receiver in a simple, quick, and unobtrusive way. Further, we reveal that self-composed melodies have a stronger impact than pre-composed or downloaded messages, similar to crafted pieces of art offered to a beloved person. We then present findings from a user study that assesses the implementation of a functional prototype and the adequacy of the system for emotional communication.

Web-Based Virtual Seismic Monitoring for Pipelines (2013)

Strong motion seismic monitoring systems are often installed at critical industrial facilities located in areas of moderate to high seismicity. The objective of seismic monitoring is to facilitate post-earthquake evaluation and emergency action by providing rapid detection of seismic events and associated data, alarms, and information. Seismic monitoring can play a similar role for pipelines, especially considering the added geohazard risks along right-of-ways that might include landslides, fault crossings, and liquefaction hazard areas. Because of spatial distribution, seismic monitoring for pipelines is more complex than that required for a site-specific facility. In recent years, graphical software known as “ShakeMap,” developed by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), has been used to rapidly estimate and distribute the distribution and intensity of earthquake ground motions from an earthquake. The ShakeMap solution for ground motions takes into account the distance from the earthquake source, the rock and soil conditions at sites, and variations in the propagation of seismic waves due to complexities in the structure of the Earth’s crust. ShakeMap ground motion data is available for automatic download from the USGS for potentially damaging earthquakes, e.g., Magnitude 5 and greater, within minutes after the event. USGS’ ShakeMap provides the opportunity to implement web-based systems to conduct automatic seismic monitoring for cross-county pipelines or networks of pipelines. A monitoring website can be equipped with a seismic database of fragilities that characterize geohazard vulnerabilities along pipeline right-of-ways as well as support facilities. Website software can be used to process the ground motion data to assess the threat to the pipeline system, advise pipeline controllers on the need for shutdown, and guide post-earthquake inspection on a prioritized basis. Drawing from the authors’ recent seismic monitoring experience for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and other lifeline facilities, a conceptual plan for web-based seismic monitoring for pipelines is presented. The choice of a software platform can range from the use of open-source software available from USGS (ShakeCast) to custom software making direct use of gridded data downloads. Regardless of implementation strategy, the most convincing point to be made is that a seismic monitoring system need not require the installation of seismic instruments and the associated commitment to maintenance and hands-on seismology; instead it makes use of publicly available scientific data for rapid post-earthquake assessment.

Synthesis and Thermolysis of the Phosphorus‐Rich Manganese(I) Complex [Mn<sub>2</sub>(μ‐Br){<i>cyclo</i>‐(P<sub>4</sub><i>t</i>Bu<sub>3</sub>)P<i>t</i>Bu}(CO)<sub>6</sub>]: From Complexes to Metal Phosphides (2012)

A complex matter: Na[cyclo-(P5tBu4)] reacts with two equivalents of [MnBr(CO)5] to give the phosphorus-rich manganese(I) complex [Mn2(μ-Br){cyclo-(P4tBu3)PtBu}(CO)6] (see structure) containing a [{cyclo-(P4tBu3)}PtBu]− ligand. The rearrangement of [cyclo-(P5tBu4)]− to [cyclo-(P4tBu3)PtBu]− was rationalized by theoretical studies. Thermolysis of up to 1000 °C gives Mn2P.
