A Compact SPICE Model for Organic TFTs and Applications to Logic Circuit Design (2016)

This work introduces a compact DC model developed for organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) and its SPICE implementation. The model relies on a modified version of the gradual channel approximation that takes into account the contact effects, occurring at nonohmic metal/organic semiconductor junctions, modeling them as reverse biased Schottky diodes. The model also comprises channel length modulation and scalability of drain current with respect to channel length. To show the suitability of the model, we used it to design an inverter and a ring oscillator circuit. Furthermore, an experimental validation of the OTFTs has been done at the level of the single device as well as with a discrete-component setup based on two OTFTs connected into an inverter configuration. The experimental tests were based on OTFTs that use small molecules in binder matrix as an active layer. The experimental data on the fabricated devices have been found in good agreement with SPICE simulation results, paving the way to the use of the model and the device for the design of OTFT-based integrated circuits.
A pedagogical protocol for iterative robotic fabrication on remote grounds (2020)

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to advance remote robotic fabrication through an iterative and pedagogical protocol for shaping architectural grounds. Advancements in autonomous robotic tools enable to reach increasingly larger scales of architectural and landscape construction and operate in remote and inaccessible sites. In parallel, the relation of architecture to its environment is significantly reconsidered, as the building industry's contribution to the environmental stress increases. In response, new practices emerge, addressing the reshaping and modulation of environments using digital tools. The context of extra-terrestrial architecture provides a ground for exploring these issues, as future practice in this domain relies on the use of remote autonomous means for repurposing local matter. As a result, the novelty in robotic construction laboratories is tied to innovation in architectural pedagogy. Design/methodology/approach This paper puts forth a pedagogical protocol and iterative framework for digital groundscaping using robotic tools. The framework is demonstrated through an intensive workshop led by the authors. To situate the discussion, digital groundscaping is linked to several conditions that characterize practice and relate to pedagogy. These conditions include the experimental dimension of knowledge in digital fabrication, the convergence of knowledge as part of the blur between the fields of architecture and landscape architecture and the bridging of heterogeneous knowledge sets (virtual and physical), which robotic fabrication on natural terrains entails. Findings The outcomes of the workshop indicate that iterative processes can assist in applying autonomous design protocols on remote grounds. The protocols were assessed in light of the roles of technological tools, design iterations and material agency in the robotic fabrication. Originality/value The paper concludes with observations linking the iterative protocol to new avenues in architectural pedagogy as means of advancing the capacity to digitally design, modulate and transform natural grounds.
Syntheses and reactions of photopolymers, II. Interfacial polycondensation, microencapsulation, photodegradation, release measurements (1993)

Abstract Photosensitive microcapsules, which are thermally quite stable, are formed via interfacial polycondensation in which one of the shell‐forming reactants contains an azo function. An azo monomer, containing α,ω‐carboxylic diacid dichloride was reacted with a trifunctional aliphatic amine on the oil‐water interface resulting in a shell‐forming crosslinked polyamide. The size of the resulting photosensitive microcapsules was determined. It could be shown that these microcapsules can be opened by means of UV‐light.
Current and Future Clinical Applications of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Pancreatic Cancer (2010)

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a novel therapeutic modality that permits noninvasive treatment of various benign and malignant solid tumors, including prostatic cancer, uterine fibroids, hepatic tumors, renal tumors, breast cancers, and pancreatic cancers. Several preclinical and clinical studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of HIFU for treating solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer. The results of nonrandomized studies of HIFU therapy in patients with pancreatic cancer have suggested that HIFU treatment can effectively alleviate cancer-related pain without any significant complications. This noninvasive method of delivering ultrasound energy into the body has recently been evolving from a method for purely thermal ablation to harnessing the mechanical effects of HIFU to induce a systemic immune response and to enhance targeted drug delivery. This review provides a brief overview of HIFU, describes current clinical applications of HIFU for pancreatic cancer, and discusses future applications and challenges.

A Fully Bayesian Approach for Combining Multilevel Failure Information in Fault Tree Quantification and Corresponding Optimal Resource Allocation (2003)

This paper presents a fully Bayesian approach that simultaneously combines basic event and statistically independent higher event-level failure data in fault tree quantification. Such higher-level data could correspond to train, sub-system or system failure events. The full Bayesian approach also allows the highest-level data that are usually available for existing facilities to be automatically propagated to lower levels. A simple example illustrates the proposed approach. The optimal allocation of resources for collecting additional data from a choice of different level events is also presented. The optimization is achieved using a genetic algorithm.

The Mechanics of Looped-Pile Carpets (1969)

The idealized geometry of a looped-pile carpet is analyzed. Mechanisms of deformation are outlined, and the limiting conditions for each mechanism are discussed. Expressions are derived for both the initial and final geometries of the loop. Strain levels in the fibers in a deformed carpet are predicted, and the results are presented in dimensionless parameters which can be easily converted into usual textile terms. Attention is given to the practical implications of this mathematical approach to carpet design.
Molecular origin of strain softening in cross-linked F-actin networks (2010)

Two types of measurement are presented that relate molecular events to macroscopic behavior of F-actin networks. First, shear modulus is measured by oscillating an embedded microbead. Second, a microbead is translated at constant rate and transitions in the resisting force are observed. The loading rate dependence of the force at the transitions is similar to that of the molecular unbinding force, suggesting that they share a common origin. Reversibility tests of shear modulus provide further evidence that strain softening of F-actin networks is caused by force-induced rupture of cross-links.

Defect Formation during Annealing of Thin Oxides on Silicon (1993)

Defect structures resulting from the high‐temperature inert gas annealing of thin films have been investigated. Czochralski '100' silicon substrates with a 300 Å thermal oxide were subjected to a 60 h anneal in argon at 1100°C. Following the anneal, the wafers were characterized via scanning electron microscope, ellipsometer, scanning Auger microprobe, and atomic force microscope. The defect structures included rounded octagonal voids as well as octagonal and rounded pyramidal etch‐pits as reported previously. In addition, deep faceted pits covered by fractured or perforated surface films were observed. The defect morphology depended strongly on location, with the features near the wafer periphery being deeper and more strongly faceted. Based on these and previous experiments, we propose mechanisms for the development of the observed defects.
A new frequency synthesizers stabilization method based on a mixed Phase Locked Loop and Delay Locked Loop architecture (2011)

A novel technique for the stabilization of local oscillators is presented in this paper based on the combination of a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and Delay Locked Loop (DLL) architecture. On one hand, phase noise performances are improved taking advantage of the both architecture and more particular to the non-accumulation of random timing jitter. On the other hand, such a methodology could relax constraints on the loop filter and it would then be possible to increase the architecture bandwidth without taking care of stability drawbacks. By the way, the settling time could be largely improved.

[Inhibitory effects of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib on growth and angiogenesis of human liver cancer HepG2 cell xenografts in small nude mice]. (2006)

Celecoxib inhibits the growth and angiogenesis of HepG2 cell xenografts in nude mice effectively via suppressing the expression of COX-2.
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines Overcome Splenic Dependency of Antibody Response to Pneumococcal Polysaccharides (2001)

Protection against infections with Streptococcus pneumoniae depends on the presence of antibodies against capsular polysaccharides that facilitate phagocytosis. Asplenic patients are at increased risk for pneumococcal infections, since both phagocytosis and the initiation of the antibody response to polysaccharides take place in the spleen. Therefore, vaccination with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines is recommended prior to splenectomy, which, as in the case of trauma, is not always feasible. We show that in rats, vaccination with a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine can induce good antibody responses even after splenectomy, particularly after a second dose. The spleen remains necessary for a fast, primary response to (blood-borne) polysaccharides, even when they are presented in a conjugated form. Coadministration of a conjugate vaccine with additional nonconjugated polysaccharides of other serotypes did not improve the response to the nonconjugated polysaccharides. We conclude that pneumococcal conjugate vaccines can be of value in protecting asplenic or hyposplenic patients against pneumococcal infections.
"LATE EDEMA" IN LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS (1968)

Twenty 48-hour balance studies were performed on six low birth weight infants with late edema and on four control infants. Each infant had two balance studies: one on a regular milk formula and another on a lower sodium and potassium milk preparation. The urinary outgo of sodium. potassium, nitrogen, and water was similar in both groups of infants, irrespective of the type of milk intake. The internal distribution of electrolyte and water was calculated from the balance data. In the control infants, the retained water and sodium was distributed between the intracellular and extracellular phases. In infants with late edema, the expansion of the extracellular water and sodium was equivalent to the sum of the net retention, plus an internal shift of water and sodium from the non-extracellular or intracellular phases into the extracellular phase.
Reconstruction expansion as a geometry-based framework for choosing proper delay times (1994)

The quality of attractor reconstruction using the method of delays is known to be sensitive to the delay parameter, τ. Here we develop a new, computationally efficient approach to choosing τ that quantifies reconstruction expansion from the identity line of the embedding space. We show that reconstruction expansion is related to the concept of reconstruction signal strength and that increased expansion corresponds to diminished effects of measurement error. Thus, reconstruction expansion represents a simple, geometrical framework for choosing τ. Furthermore, we describe the role of dynamical error in attractor expansion and argue that algorithms for determining τ should be considered as attempts at estimating an upper bound to the optimal delay.
Short Communication: Estimates of Genetic Variation of Milk Fatty Acids in US Holstein Cows (2008)

Interest in changing the milk fatty acid profile is growing. However, little is known about the genetic variability of milk fatty acids in the US Holstein population. Therefore, genetic parameters for milk fatty acids were estimated using a single-trait, mixed, linear animal model on 592 individual milk samples from 233 daughters of 53 sires in a cow herd genetically representative of the US Holstein population. Heritability (h(2)) and repeatability (r) estimates +/- standard errors for yields of individual fatty acids ranged from 0.00 +/- 0.08 (C4:0) to 0.43 +/- 0.13 (C12:0) for heritabilities and from 0.21 +/- 0.05 (C18:1) to 0.43 +/- 0.05 (C12:0) for repeatabilities. Saturated (h(2) = 0.23 +/- 0.12; r = 0.36 +/- 0.05) and de novo synthesized fatty acids (C6:0 to C14:0; h(2) = 0.30 +/- 0.13; r = 0.40 +/- 0.05) had numerically higher estimates than did monounsaturated (h(2) = 0.09 +/- 0.09; r = 0.22 +/- 0.05) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (h(2) = 0.08 +/- 0.09; r = 0.27 +/- 0.05). For relative proportions of individual fatty acids, the greatest heritability and repeatability estimates were obtained for C8:0 (h(2) = 0.18 +/- 0.12; r = 0.36 +/- 0.05), C10:0 (h(2) = 0.22 +/- 0.13; r = 0.46 +/- 0.05), C12:0 (h(2) = 0.18 +/- 0.12; r = 0.46 +/- 0.05), C16:0 (h(2) = 0.09 +/- 0.12; r = 0.48 +/- 0.05), C16:1 (h(2) = 0.49 +/- 0.13; r = 0.49 +/- 0.05), and C18:0 (h(2) = 0.24 +/- 0.11; r = 0.39 +/- 0.05). Our results suggest the existence of genetic variability of milk fatty acids, in particular of medium-and long-chain fatty acids (C8:0 to C18:0), which could be used to improve the nutritional and textural properties of milk fat by selective breeding.
<title>Virtual- and real-world operation of mobile robotic manipulators: integrated simulation, visualization, and control environment</title> (1992)

This research is focused on enhancing the overall productivity of an integrated human-robot system. A simulation, animation, visualization, and interactive control (SAVIC) environment has been developed for the design and operation of an integrated robotic manipulator system. This unique system possesses the abilities for multisensor simulation, kinematics and locomotion animation, dynamic motion and manipulation animation, transformation between real and virtual modes within the same graphics system, ease in exchanging software modules and hardware devices between real and virtual world operations, and interfacing with a real robotic system. This paper describes a working system and illustrates the concepts by presenting the simulation, animation, and control methodologies for a unique mobile robot with articulated tracks, a manipulator, and sensory modules.
<title>Fiber optic sensor of linear displacement</title> (1996)

The paper covers the description of a fiber optic sensor of linear displacement with a single multimode fiber and a movement mirror positioned near the output end of the fiber perpendicularly to its axis. The value of the signal of the considered sensor is determined by the rate of a beam reflected from mirror and introduced back into the fiber. New methods of increase in the band of measured shifts and enhancement of the sensor sensitivity are described in the paper. In particular, we propose to fill a space between the fiber face and the mirror by the light-absorbing liquid and to use polarization splitting of input and output beams. Mathematical descriptions of the sensitive element and the polarization beam splitting scheme are considered in the paper. We used a method of geometrical optics in Hamiltonian formulation for mathematical sensor modeling. Presented experimental results confirm the theoretical conclusion.

Job Design and Innovative Work Behavior: One Size Does Not Fit All Types of Employees (2012)

As innovative employees become imperative for an organizations’ success, research identified job design as a crucial variable in promoting innovative work behavior (IWB) (Hammond et al., 2011). Using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model of Bakker & Demerouti (2007), this article contributes to the literature as it uses recent insights on the distinction between job challenges and job hindrances (Van den Broeck et al., 2010) and distinguishes between blue- and white-collar employees. Using survey data of 893 employees of various organizations the findings generally confirm the JD-R model, although important differences were found between blue-collar and white-collar employees regarding the relation of organizing and routine tasks with IWB. Job content insecurity further was found to be very detrimental for blue-collar IWB. These findings have important HR and political implications as they show that there is no ‘one size fits all’ HR solution for innovation.
Evolution of Turbine Cooled Vanes and Blades Applied for Large Industrial Gas Turbines and Its Trend toward Carbon Neutrality (2022)

Photovoltaics and wind power are expected to account for a large share of power generation in the carbon-neutral era. A gas turbine combined cycle (GTCC) with an industrial gas turbine as the main engine has the ability to rapidly start up and can follow up to load fluctuations to smooth out fluctuations in power generation from renewable energy sources. Simultaneously, the system must be more efficient than today’s state-of-the-art GTCCs because it will use either Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) when burning natural gas or hydrogen/ammonia as fuel, which is more expensive than natural gas. This paper describes the trend of cooled turbine rotor blades used in large industrial gas turbines that are carbon neutral. First, the evolution of cooled turbine stationary vanes and rotor blades is traced. Then, the current status of heat transfer technology, blade material technology, and thermal barrier coating technology that will lead to the realization of future ultra-high-temperature industrial gas turbines is surveyed. Based on these technologies, this paper introduces turbine vane and blade cooling technologies applicable to ultra-high-temperature industrial gas turbines for GTCC in the carbon-neutral era.

A method for constructing reduced order transformer models for system studies from detailed lumped parameter models (1992)

A reduction technique which uses the detailed lumped parameter transformer model as a starting point and allows its reductions to any size specified by the user is presented. The method is straightforward mathematically and, while retaining the physical configuration of the transformer, does not require any proprietary information from the transformer suppliers. The technique is illustrated by an example.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Influence of rapid thermal annealing on the molecular structure of PEDOT-PSS thin films (2009)

Analysis of the Lane-Change Behavior at Lane Closure by Driving Simulation Experiment (2014)

To mitigate the traffic congestion at merging sections in urban expressway networks, a dynamic lane operation is being studied in Japan, which dynamically switches one lane to either approach of a merging section with more traffic demand. To evaluate the safety concern, the lane-change behavior when one lane is closed by variable barrier which is informed by variable message sign (VMS) is analyzed in this study. A driving simulation experiment is conducted for the analysis considering the implementation of the dynamic lane operation for merging sections at Route C1 of Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway. Traffic condition and the distance between a lane-closure point and the VMS are considered as critical factors affecting the risky behavior, and their influence on the lane change behavior is studied.
