A proposal of automatic generation of fuzzy neural network and its application to precise adjustment system (2003)

Recently the need for automation of higher proficiency adjustment is increasing. However, it has taken an enormous amount of time to make the adjustment algorithm and timely development of the automation equipment has not happened. The purpose of the paper is to reduce the term for the development of the adjustment algorithm. The paper presents a construction method for fuzzy neural networks. We propose a method to select the input parameters that can recognize vague waveforms. To operate the learning method easily, we propose an automatic learning rate set-up method and also propose a method to avoid the local minimum automatically. We also propose a virtual experiment system using fuzzy neural networks to evaluate the ability of the learned algorithm. We have developed a system which integrates the proposed construction method of fuzzy neural networks and the virtual experiment system.
Correction of EB-induced shrinkage in contour measurements (2014)

We have proposed a new method for correcting electron beam (EB)-induced photoresist shrinkage in two-dimensional pattern contours extracted from a scanning electron microscope image. This method restores the original shrinkage-free contour from the experimentally determined “shrunk contour”, based on a shrinkage model which takes into account of the elastic nature of the shrinkage phenomena caused by the photoresist-volume reduction. Verification of this shrinkage model was demonstrated by using ArF resist patterns as follows. First, the model was calibrated with the shrinkage data of several line patters with different linewidth prior to the contour correction. Next, the amount of shrinkage of elbow patterns was measured by comparing its contours obtained with small and sufficiently large EB dosages. It was found that the shrinkage of the inner edge of the elbow corner was smaller than that of the outer edge, which can be interpreted as a result of the elastic deformation. Finally, validity of shrinkage correction was examined. The model calculation correctly reproduced the observed shrinkage including its dependence on the location in the pattern. The restored contour showed a good consistency with the experimental results and the total root-mean-square error of the shrinkage correction was 0.5 nm. This result confirmed that our shrinkage model adequately describes the shrinkage of two dimensional patterns. Consequently, proposed shrinkage correction method is expected to improve the accuracy of contour measurements by a critical dimension-scanning electron microscope.
Improved synthesis and crystal structure of tetrakis(benzoylthio)tetrathiafulvalene. A useful precursor to functionalised bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene derivatives (1991)

A simple one-step procedure is reported for the preparation of tetrakis(benzoylthio)tetrathiafulvalene (2) using octacarbonyldicobalt. The crystal structure of 2 is discussed and the preparation of some charge-transfer salts of 2 and their electrical conductivity has been determined. The use of 2 as a synthon for functionalised bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene derivatives is described.
Endorphins in chronic pain. I. Differences in CSF endorphin levels between organic and psychogenic pain syndromes (1978)

A series of 37 patients with chronic pain was investigated with regard to neurologic and psychiatric variables. Twenty of the patients were classified as having mainly organic (= somatogenic) pain syndromes while 17 patients were rather suffering from psychogenic pain syndromes. Samples of lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were obtained from the patients and analyzed for the presence of opiate receptor-active material, here called endorphins. Patients classified as having mainly organic pain syndromes were found to have significantly lower endorphin levels than patients with predominantly psychogenic pain syndromes. In the total group of patients as well as in the two subgroups, there was a significant correlation between CSF endorphin levels and the depth of depressive symptomatology as reported by the patients. On the other hand, there was no correlation between CSF endorphin levels and extent of anxiety or motor retardation. It is concluded that CSF endorphins reflect central processes involved in chronic pain syndromes.

Carrier trapping and recombination: the role of defect physics in enhancing the open circuit voltage of metal halide perovskite solar cells (2016)

We show that trapped electrons recombine with free holes unexpectedly slowly, on microsecond time scales, relaxing the limit on obtainable open circuit voltage.
Possibility of electrical discharge pulse sound for hammering test (2007)

In this study, it was investigated that the possibility of electrical discharge pulse sound for new inspection technologies instead of hammering test. Electrical discharge pulse sound was applied for hammering sound and sensor by using sound detection was applied for optical fiber vibration sensor. The numerical analysis result using the FEM and the experiment result along with the single pulse discharge was compared. As the result, it was estimated that the generation factor of the elastic wave was same as the current duration. These results become possible to estimate the propagation characteristic of elastic wave. Evaluation of electrical discharge sound for hammering test by using optical fiber sensor was investigated. Defect shape and scale was estimated from comparison with detected waveform by using optical fiber vibration sensor and simulated waveform. As the results, it was considered that electrical discharge sound was available for hammering test.
Rapamycin Suppresses Mossy Fiber Sprouting But Not Seizure Frequency in a Mouse Model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (2011)

Temporal lobe epilepsy is prevalent and can be difficult to treat effectively. Granule cell axon (mossy fiber) sprouting is a common neuropathological finding in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, but its role in epileptogenesis is unclear and controversial. Focally infused or systemic rapamycin inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway and suppresses mossy fiber sprouting in rats. We tested whether long-term systemic treatment with rapamycin, beginning 1 d after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus in mice, would suppress mossy fiber sprouting and affect the development of spontaneous seizures. Mice that had experienced status epilepticus and were treated for 2 months with rapamycin displayed significantly less mossy fiber sprouting (42% of vehicle-treated animals), and the effect was dose dependent. However, behavioral and video/EEG monitoring revealed that rapamycin- and vehicle-treated mice displayed spontaneous seizures at similar frequencies. These findings suggest mossy fiber sprouting is neither pro- nor anti-convulsant; however, there are caveats. Rapamycin treatment also reduced epilepsy-related hypertrophy of the dentate gyrus but did not significantly affect granule cell proliferation, hilar neuron loss, or generation of ectopic granule cells. These findings are consistent with the hypotheses that hilar neuron loss and ectopic granule cells might contribute to temporal lobe epileptogenesis.
Measurements of the Branching Fractions and Bounds on the Charge Asymmetries of Charmless Three-Body Charged<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>B</mml:mi></mml:math>Decays (2003)

We present measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for charmless B-meson decays to three-body final states of charged pions and kaons. The analysis uses 81.8 fb(-1) of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric B Factory. We measure the branching fractions B(B+-->pi(+)pi(-)pi(+))=(10.9+/-3.3+/-1.6)x10(-6), B(B+-->K+pi(-)pi(+))=(59.1+/-3.8+/-3.2)x10(-6), and B(B+-->K+K-K+)=(29.6+/-2.1+/-1.6)x10(-6) and provide 90% C.L. upper limits for other decays. We observe no charge asymmetries for these modes.

Neuronal degeneration in striatal transplants and Huntington's disease: potential mechanisms and clinical implications (2011)

Cell therapy offers the possibility of replacing degenerated neurons thereby improving the symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease. However, clinical benefits in patients with Huntington's disease, if any, have been transient and modest. Grafts survived well at 18 months in one patient with Huntington's disease, but graft survival was markedly attenuated by 10 years in three other patients from this transplantation cohort. It is critical to delineate the causes of graft degeneration if such therapies will be utilized in patients with a goal of achieving meaningful clinical benefit. Similar challenges may also accrue to future stem cell therapies. Here we discuss the potential causes of suboptimal long-term graft survival in patients with Huntington's disease, including allograft immunoreactivity, microglial responses targeted to grafted cells and cell-to-cell neurotoxicity. We also discuss similar challenges and unique differences comparing neuronal grafts in patients with Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases.
Far-infrared absorption spectra of Cd1−<i>x</i>Mn<i>x</i>Te from 10 to 300 K (1989)

Absorptivity spectra are presented in the far-infrared (15–700 cm−1) from 10 K to room temperature for Cd1−xMnxTe alloys (x=0–0.64); this covers almost the entire composition range in which the cubic structure is stable. The results are interpreted in terms of the known phonon spectra of these materials, as determined from far-infrared reflectivity, neutron scattering, and Raman scattering measurements, and in terms of anharmonic effects due primarily to an impurity-induced disorder.
Fuse modeling for reliability study of power electronic circuits (2017)

This paper describes a comprehensive modeling approach on reliability of fuses used in power electronic circuits. When fuses are subjected to current pulses, cyclic temperature stress is introduced to the fuse element and will wear out the component. Furthermore, the fuse may be used in a large variation of ambient temperature, e.g. in deserts and the accumulated damage in the fuse elements is gradually increasing due to thermo-mechanical stress that results in resistance increase and further unexpected failures. Consequently, the electrical characteristics of the fuse like I <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> t, breaking capacity, and rated voltage/current are opposed to shift in time to effect early breaking during the normal operation of the circuit. Therefore, in such cases, a reliable protection required for the other circuit components will not be achieved. The thermo-mechanical models, fatigue analysis and thermo-electrical models of fuses are presented by FEM simulations in order to identify the important factors affecting the performance of fuses at different ambient temperatures and cycling operation.
The effectiveness of a u-v toothbrush sanitizing device in reducing the number of bacteria, yeasts and viruses on toothbrushes. (1994)

Sixty-six sterile toothbrushes were exposed to one of the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Bacillis subtilis, Serratia marcescens and Baker's yeast. The Pollenex DS60 Daily Dental Sanitizer was found to be effective in substantially reducing the number of retained bacteria and yeasts as compared to contaminated toothbrushes not treated with such a device. Different toothbrush types had different response rates. Seventy-two sterile toothbrushes were exposed to Herpes Simplex Virus, Type I and seventy-two sterile toothbrushes were exposed to Parainfluenza Virus, Type III. The Pollenex DS60 Daily Dental Sanitizer consistently killed both viruses on all of the toothbrushes treated. Both viruses were consistently retained on non-treated toothbrushes for at least 24 hours.
Understanding COVID-19 via comparative analysis of dark proteomes of SARS-CoV-2, human SARS and bat SARS-like coronaviruses (2020)

The recently emerged coronavirus designated as SARS-CoV-2 (also known as 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) or Wuhan coronavirus) is a causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is rapidly spreading throughout the world now. More than 1.21 million cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection and more than 67,000 COVID-19-associated mortalities have been reported worldwide till the writing of this article, and these numbers are increasing every passing hour. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the SARS-CoV-2 spread as a global public health emergency and admitted COVID-19 as a pandemic now. Multiple sequence alignment data correlated with the already published reports on SARS-CoV-2 evolution indicated that this virus is closely related to the bat severe acute respiratory syndrome-like coronavirus (bat SARS-like CoV) and the well-studied human SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). The disordered regions in viral proteins are associated with the viral infectivity and pathogenicity. Therefore, in this study, we have exploited a set of complementary computational approaches to examine the dark proteomes of SARS-CoV-2, bat SARS-like, and human SARS CoVs by analysing the prevalence of intrinsic disorder in their proteins. According to our findings, SARS-CoV-2 proteome contains very significant levels of structural order. In fact, except for nucleocapsid, Nsp8, and ORF6, the vast majority of SARS-CoV-2 proteins are mostly ordered proteins containing less intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs). However, IDPRs found in SARS-CoV-2 proteins are functionally important. For example, cleavage sites in its replicase 1ab polyprotein are found to be highly disordered, and almost all SARS-CoV-2 proteins contains molecular recognition features (MoRFs), which are intrinsic disorder-based protein-protein interaction sites that are commonly utilized by proteins for interaction with specific partners. The results of our extensive investigation of the dark side of SARS-CoV-2 proteome will have important implications in understanding the structural and non-structural biology of SARS or SARS-like coronaviruses.
A CASE-CONTROL STUDY OF OSTEOSARCOMA IN YOUNG PERSONS (1987)

A study of 64 cases and 124 friend and neighbor controls was conducted to identify factors associated with the occurrence of osteosarcoma in young persons. Two types of information were collected: questionnaire data from telephone interviews with mothers, and data on height since birth from family, physician, and school records. Cases were not taller at the time of diagnosis than controls, nor were growth rates higher--either overall or during the 3-4 years prior to diagnosis. An excess risk, however, was observed among subjects whose birth length was at or below the 25th percentile, based on national standards. An excess risk was also found among subjects born more than one week early, but the positive association with short birth length remained when duration of pregnancy was taken into account. Positive associations were also found for prior trauma to the tumor site; congenital skeletal defects or other treated bone conditions; fetal x-ray; and maternal employment during pregnancy in manufacturing industries.
Finding Differentially Expressed Genes in Two-Channel DNA Microarray Datasets: How to Increase Reliability of Data Preprocessing (2008)

Due to the great variety of preprocessing tools in two-channel expression microarray data analysis it is difficult to choose the most appropriate one for a given experimental setup. In our study, two independent two-channel inhouse microarray experiments as well as a publicly available dataset were used to investigate the influence of the selection of preprocessing methods (background correction, normalization, and duplicate spots correlation calculation) on the discovery of differentially expressed genes. Here we are showing that both the list of differentially expressed genes and the expression values of selected genes depend significantly on the preprocessing approach applied. The choice of normalization method to be used had the highest impact on the results. We propose a simple but efficient approach to increase the reliability of obtained results, where two normalization methods which are theoretically distinct from one another are used on the same dataset. Then the intersection of results, that is, the lists of differentially expressed genes, is used in order to get a more accurate estimation of the genes that were de facto differentially expressed.
Virtual Machine Provisioning Based on Analytical Performance and QoS in Cloud Computing Environments (2011)

Cloud computing is the latest computing paradigm that delivers IT resources as services in which users are free from the burden of worrying about the low-level implementation or system administration details. However, there are significant problems that exist with regard to efficient provisioning and delivery of applications using Cloud-based IT resources. These barriers concern various levels such as workload modeling, virtualization, performance modeling, deployment, and monitoring of applications on virtualized IT resources. If these problems can be solved, then applications can operate more efficiently, with reduced financial and environmental costs, reduced under-utilization of resources, and better performance at times of peak load. In this paper, we present a provisioning technique that automatically adapts to workload changes related to applications for facilitating the adaptive management of system and offering end-users guaranteed Quality of Services (QoS) in large, autonomous, and highly dynamic environments. We model the behavior and performance of applications and Cloud-based IT resources to adaptively serve end-user requests. To improve the efficiency of the system, we use analytical performance (queueing network system model) and workload information to supply intelligent input about system requirements to an application provisioner with limited information about the physical infrastructure. Our simulation-based experimental results using production workload models indicate that the proposed provisioning technique detects changes in workload intensity (arrival pattern, resource demands) that occur over time and allocates multiple virtualized IT resources accordingly to achieve application QoS targets.
