Illuminator predictor for effective SMO solutions (2011)

Source Mask Optimization (SMO) is one of the most important techniques available for extending ArF immersion lithography<sup>1</sup>. However, imaging with a small k1<sup>2</sup> factor (~0.3 or smaller) is very sensitive to errors in the illumination pupil<sup>2</sup>. As a result, care must be taken to insure that the source solution from SMO can be produced by the real illuminator, which is subject to its own imaging constraints. One approach is to include an illuminator simulator in the SMO loop so that only realizable illumination pupils are considered during optimization. Furthermore, any illumination pupil predictor used in SMO should operate quickly compared to the imaging simulation if it is to avoid increasing the computational load.
Mercury(II) Site-Selective Binding to a DNA Hairpin. Relationship of Sequence-Dependent Intra- and Interstrand Cross-Linking to the Hairpin−Duplex Conformational Transition (1996)

Hg(II) interacted site selectively with only one of three deoxyribooligonucleotides examined; these "oligos" each had a different number of unmatched T residues. Thus, Hg(II) formed an intrastrand T-Hg-T cross-link between the first and fourth T residues of the hairpin, d(GCGCTTTTGCGC) (T4). The DNA strand formed a loop around the Hg, as if the Hg atom had been lassoed. The interactions of Hg(II) with two other oligos, d(ATGGGTTCCCAT) (T2) and d(GCGCTTTGCGC) (T3), were less specific. Previously, we found that at high DNA and salt concentrations, T2 was a mixture of hairpin and duplex forms while T3 and T4 had the hairpin form; modeling studies showed that in the free T4 hairpin the two T's at the ends of the (T)(4) loop form a T.T wobble base pair. Only in T4 are the T residues positioned to form an intrastrand cross-link readily. The Hg(II)-oligo adducts formed as a function of added Hg(II) were investigated by titrations monitored by UV, CD, and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The appearance of a new set of (1)H signals with the concomitant decay of the free oligo (1)H signals indicated that 1:1 Hg(II):T2, 1.5:1 Hg(II):T3, and 1:1 Hg(II):T4 adducts were formed with Hg(NO(3))(2). In H(2)O, these adducts all had spectra with very downfield signals for the exchangeable TN(3)H and GN(1)H groups, a characteristic of base-paired regions. All upfield N(3)H signals from the (T)(2) and (T)(3) sequences of the free oligo disappeared in the spectra of the 1:1 Hg(II):T2 and 1.5:1 Hg(II):T3 adducts. The disappearance of the NH signals, the UV spectral changes, and the stoichiometries (1:1 Hg(II):T2 and 1.5:1 Hg(II):T3) indicate that these adducts are duplexes containing two and three T-Hg-T interstrand cross-links for T2 and T3, respectively. The (1)H and (13)C signals of the 1:1 Hg(II):T4 adduct in D(2)O were nearly completely assigned by 2D NMR spectroscopy. The spectrum of the adduct in H(2)O had only two of the four original TN(3)H signals from the (T)(4) sequence present in the spectrum of T4; this result is consistent with the presence of a TN3-Hg-TN3 cross-link. The (13)C chemical shift changes upon Hg(II) binding indicated that the TN3-Hg-TN3 cross-link was between the T's at each end of the (T)(4) loop. The NOESY, CD, and UV spectra were all consistent with a hairpin conformation for the 1:1 Hg(II):T4 adduct. A hairpin conformation also appeared reasonable from molecular modeling calculations. In conclusion, the length of the central (T)(n)() sequence influenced the type of T-Hg-T cross-link formed and, in turn, the conformation of the adducts. For (T)(2) and (T)(3), interstrand T-Hg-T cross-linking favored the duplex form. In contrast, for (T)(4), intrastrand T-Hg-T cross-linking stabilized the hairpin form.
Importance of the mitral subvalvular apparatus for left ventricular segmental systolic mechanics. (1990)

The relative importance of the anterolateral (ANTLAT) and posteromedial (POSTMED) papillary muscle (PM) chordae tendineae for left ventricular (LV) segmental wall function was assessed in 12 in situ ejecting canine hearts. Pairs of piezoelectric crystals were placed in the regions subtending PM insertions and the ANTLAT LV free wall to measure wall thickness. After mitral valve replacement with complete preservation of the subvalvular apparatus, chordal attachments to either the ANTLAT PM or POSTMED PM were randomly severed using exteriorized snares, followed by subsequent division of the remaining chordae tendineae. Segmental wall function in each region was determined at each stage by segmental preload recruitable stroke work (sPRSW, slope of the segmental stroke work-end-diastolic wall thickness relation). The order in which the chordae were severed was unimportant (p greater than 0.530 in all regions). When the ANTLAT PM chordae were severed first, there were significant declines in sPRSW without a change in the wall thickness intercept in both the ANTLAT (-71.0 +/- 18.3 vs. -57.7 +/- 16.8 mmHg, p less than 0.05) and POSTMED (-81.8 +/- 23.1 vs. -65.4 +/- 17.3 mmHg, p less than 0.05) PM insertion sites. No further significant reductions in sPRSW in either region were detected after severing the remaining chordal attachments to the POSTMED PM. sPRSW in the ANTLAT LV free wall decreased progressively, reaching statistical significance when both sets of chordae tendineae were divided (-88.3 +/- 14.3 vs. -74.0 +/- 15.2 mm Hg, p less than 0.05). When the POSTMED PM chordae were severed first, no significant changes in sPRSW or the wall thickness intercept in either region of PM insertion were detected. Subsequent division of the ANTLAT PM chordal attachments reduced sPRSW significantly in both the ANTLAT PM (-65.9 +/- 21.1 vs. -56.1 +/- 22.1 mm Hg, p less than 0.05) and POSTMED PM (-78.8 +/- 24.7 vs. -67.2 +/- 24.0 mm Hg, p less than 0.05) insertion sites, without a shift in the wall thickness intercept. In the ANTLAT LV free wall, sPRSW again fell progressively, achieving statistical significance only when both chordal attachments were severed (-78.6 +/- 14.8 vs. -62.2 +/- 13.7 mm Hg, p less than 0.05). In conclusion, division of the chordae tendineae resulted in a decline in segmental LV function not only in the areas subtending PM insertions but also in remote LV regions. Furthermore, the influence of the ANTLAT PM chordae predominated local LV systolic function at both PM insertion sites.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
<title>Operation of a scanning near-field optical microscope in reflection in combination with a scanning force microscope</title> (1992)

Images obtained with a scanning near field optical microscope (SNOM) operating in reflection are presented. We have obtained the first results with a SiN tip as optical probe. The instrument is simultaneously operated as a scanning force microscope (SFM). Moreover, the instrument incorporates an inverted light microscope (LM) for preselection of a scan area. The SiN probe is operated in the contact regime causing a highly improved lateral resolution in the optical image compared to an alternative set-up using a fiber probe, which is also presented. The combined microscope is operated either in open loop or as a force regulated SNOM. Near field optical images can be directly compared with the topography displayed in the simultaneously recorded SFM image.

Donor-derived Kaposi’s sarcoma in a liver–kidney transplant recipient (2017)

Human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), also known as Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV), is an oncogenic virus that can cause Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). KS can develop following organ transplantation through reactivation of the recipient's latent HHV-8 infection, or less commonly through donor-derived infection which has higher risk for severe illness and mortality. We describe a case of probable donor-derived KS in the recipient of a liver-kidney transplant. The donor had multiple risk factors for HHV-8 infection. The KS was successfully treated by switching immunosuppression from tacrolimus to sirolimus. With an increasing number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive persons seeking organ transplantation and serving as organ donors for HIV-positive recipients, HHV-8 prevalence among donors and recipients will likely increase and with that the risk for post-transplant KS. Predetermination of HHV-8 status can be useful when considering organ donors and recipients with risk factors, although there are currently no validated commercial tests for HHV-8 antibody screening.
Sputum Isolation of Wangiella dermatitidis in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis (2001)

We report a case of invasive fungal pulmonary infection in a cystic fibrosis patient. Clinical deterioration coincided with isolation of Wangiella dermatitidis from her sputum, and treatment with amphotericin B followed by voriconazole resulted in clinical improvement and sterilization of the sputum. This case suggests that W. dermatitidis may be an etiologic agent of invasive pulmonary disease in the cystic fibrosis population.
Alternative splicing of IL‐24 in melanocytes by deletion of exons 3 and 5 (2005)

Two novel interleukin-24 (IL-24) splice variants were identified in normal human melanocytes by sequencing cloned polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products that are not expressed in metastatic melanoma. These gene products have been generated by differential skipping of exons 3 (IL-24 delE3) and 5 (IL-24 delE5). IL-24 delE3 has limited sequence identity to the IL-24-interacting protein mda-7s, and IL-24 delE5 is homologous to IL-24.

Effect of Polarizing Applied Voltage on Photovoltaic Effect of PLZT Element for Optical Motor (2002)

PLZT element that is a kind of piezo element has a unique characteristic that is called photovoltaic effect. The photovoltaic effect of the PLZT element causes very high voltage when exposed to ultraviolet light. We propose an electrostatic optical motor driven by the photovoltaic effect and electrostatic force. High voltage generated by the photovoltaic effect causes electrostatic force. And the electrostatic optical motor makes rotational motion by the electrostatic force. This new type motor has some superior characteristics such as non-contact energy supply, large rotational motion and the like. A characteristic of the electrostatic optical motor depends on the characteristic of photovoltaic effect such as maximum generated voltage and the like. In this paper, therefore, effect of polarizing applied voltage on the photovoltaic effect of the PLZT element is described due to get a PLZT element that has higher maximum generated voltage.
Chemical and Pharmacological Studies of <i>Phyllanthus caroliniensis</i> in Mice (1996)

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the constituents of the hydroalcoholic extract (HE) of the leaves, stems and roots from P. caroliniensis, and also to evaluate the preliminary antinociceptive action of the HE and purified compounds in mice. Phytosterols, quercetin, gallic acid ethyl ester and geraniin were identified in P. caroliniensis on the basis of 1H and 13C NMR spectral data and by mixed co-TLC and co-HPLC injection with authentic samples. The HE of P. caroliniensis (10-100 mg kg-1, i.p.) inhibited, in a dose-related manner, acetic acid-induced abdominal constrictions in mice, with a mean ID50 value of 23.7 mg kg-1. In the formalin test, the HE given intraperitoneally (1-30 mg kg-1) or orally (25-600 mg kg-1) caused graded inhibitions of both the neurogenic (first phase) and the inflammatory response (late phase) of formalin-induced licking. The HE was 54-fold more effective in inhibiting the late phase than it was in inhibiting the first phase of the formalin test, with mean ID50 values of 3.6 and 196.4 mg kg-1, respectively. The HE failed, however, to affect the oedematogenic response associated with the late phase of formalin-induced pain. In addition, the reference drug, aspirin, given intraperitoneally (1-100 mg kg-1) or orally (100-600 mg kg-1), caused significant inhibition of the late but not the first phase of the formalin test. Pharmacological analysis also revealed that quercetin, gallic acid ethyl ester and a semi-purified fraction of flavonoids (1-100 mg kg-1, i.p.) exhibited graded and significant antinociception against acetic acid-induced abdominal constriction. The mean ID50 values (mg kg-1) for these effects were: 18.8, 34.7 and 5.3, respectively. It is concluded that quercetin, gallic acid ethyl ester and some as yet unidentified flavonoids might account for the antinociceptive action reported for the HE of P. caroliniensis.
The Thermal and Flammability Behavior of Polyester-Wool Blends (1978)

The flammability behavior of a series of polyester-wool fabrics has been investigated in terms of a number of flaming combustioh and thermal-decomposition characteristics. Combustion behavior has been characterized by mass burning rate and heat emission measurements. Decomposition behavior has been studied by dynamic thermogravimetry, pre-ignition kinetics, and analysis of volatile decomposition products. These fiber blends show burning behavior more complex than would be expected from the additive behaviors of the two components. The decomposition data provide evidence for chemical interactions during decomposition, which may be the reason for the anomalous burning behavior.
The Heterocyclic Diradical Benzo-1,2:4,5-bis(1,3,2-dithiazolyl). Electronic, Molecular and Solid State Structure (1997)

The preparation and purification of the heterocyclic diradical benzo-1,2:4,5-bis(1,3,2-dithiazolyl) (BBDTA) is described. Crystals of BBDTA, grown by fractional sublimation at 120−180 °C/10-3 Torr, are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 4.144(2), b = 9.0344(13), and c = 10.7424(16) Å, β = 91.11(3)°, and Z = 2. The crystal structure consists of discrete, unassociated molecules of BBDTA. The molecules form slipped stacks along the x direction, with the mean molecular plane making an angle of 32.4° to the x axis. The interplanar separation between consecutive molecules along the stacking direction is 3.49 Å. The ESR spectrum of BBDTA is solvent dependent, displaying signals attributable to partially associated materials (not exchange coupled) and to free diradical (exchange coupled). Ab initio molecular orbital calculations suggest a small (ca. 0.5 kcal/mol) separation between the triplet and singlet diradical states. Cyclic voltammetry on BBDTA and the related benzo-1,3,2-dithiazolyl BDTA, coupled with gas phase photoelectron studies on BDTA, establish that both compounds are strong electron donors. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that BBDTA is essentially diamagnetic up to room temperature; variable temperature single-crystal conductivity measurements provide a band gap of 0.22 eV. The transport properties are discussed in the light of extended Hückel band structure calculations, which suggest a highly three-dimensional electronic structure for bulk BBDTA in the solid state.
Synthesis and characterization of new polyethyleneoxy substituted salicylaldimine Schiff bases and some corresponding reduced tetra- and penta-aza ligands and their gadolinium(III) complexes: new potential contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (1994)

A series of polyether substituted salicylaldehyde derivatives OHCC6H3OH-2-OR-3 [R = CH2(CH2OCH2)nCH2OR′, n= 1, 4 and R′= Me; n= 5 and R′= H] have been synthesised and used to prepare the polydentate ligands HN[(CH2CH2NHCH2CH2NCHC6H3OH-2-OR-3]2,HN[CH2CH2NHCH2CH2NHCH2C6H3-OH-2-OR-3]2 and HN[CH2CH2NCHC6H3OH-2-OR-3]3; a preliminary evaluation has been made of the potential use of their gadolinium complexes as contrast agents for diagnostic Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
In situ hybridization: A detection tool for fish pathogens and its application on recent advances on whirling disease research (2002)

A non-radioactive in situ hybridization (ISH) protocol was used as a diagnostic tool for several fish pathogens including Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis, the etiologic agent of withering syndrome, which is a new disease in wild and cultured abalone Haliotis spp., the microsporidian Nucleospora salmonis and the myxozoan parasite Tetracapsula bryosalmonae (previously referred to as PKX) that causes proliferative kidney disease in salmonids. Most applications of the ISH protocol in our -laboratory were used in pathogenesis studies of whirling disease caused by the myxosporean Myxobolus cerebralis.
Test Control for Secure Scan Designs (2005)

Designing secure ICs requires fulfilling many design rules in order to protect access to secret data. However, these security design requirements may be in opposition to test needs and testability improvement techniques that increase both observability and controllability. Nevertheless, secure chip designers cannot neglect the testability of their chip; a high quality production testing is primordial to ensure a good level of security since any faulty devices could induce major security vulnerability. In this paper, we propose to merge security requirements with testability ones in a control-oriented design for security scan technique.
Activation of Pyramidal Neurons in Mouse Medial Prefrontal Cortex Enhances Food-Seeking Behavior While Reducing Impulsivity in the Absence of an Effect on Food Intake (2016)

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is involved in a wide range of executive cognitive functions, including reward evaluation, decision-making, memory extinction, mood, and task switching. Manipulation of the mPFC has been shown to alter food intake and food reward valuation, but whether exclusive stimulation of mPFC pyramidal neurons (PN), which form the principle output of the mPFC, is sufficient to mediate food rewarded instrumental behavior is unknown. We sought to determine the behavioral consequences of manipulating mPFC output by exciting PN in mouse mPFC during performance of a panel of behavioral assays, focusing on food reward. We found that increasing mPFC pyramidal cell output using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD) enhanced performance in instrumental food reward assays that assess food seeking behavior, while sparing effects on affect and food intake. Specifically, activation of mPFC PN enhanced operant responding for food reward, reinstatement of palatable food seeking, and suppression of impulsive responding for food reward. Conversely, activation of mPFC PN had no effect on unconditioned food intake, social interaction, or behavior in an open field. Furthermore, we found that behavioral outcome is influenced by the degree of mPFC activation, with a low drive sufficient to enhance operant responding and a higher drive required to alter impulsivity. Additionally, we provide data demonstrating that DREADD stimulation involves a nitric oxide (NO) synthase dependent pathway, similar to endogenous muscarinic M3 receptor stimulation, a finding that provides novel mechanistic insight into an increasingly widespread method of remote neuronal control.

Hyperlipidemia and transplantation (1992)

Hyperlipidemia is a well-recognized complication of renal transplantation. In long-term survivors of renal transplantation, cardiovascular disease accounts for the majority of patient deaths. In the cyclosporine era, cardiovascular disease has surpassed infection as the number one cause of death. Risk factors in the transplant population for hyperlipidemia include age, male sex, diabetes, prednisone dose, graft impairment, obesity, and antihypertensive therapy. Recently, cyclosporine has been implicated as an aggravating factor in the development of hyperlipidemia after transplantation, although its role has been controversial. Because renal transplant recipients have other significant risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease, the amelioration of hyperlipidemia may improve long-term patient survival. Because most late deaths occur in patients with a functioning graft, long-term graft survival could also be improved. The role of corticosteroids in the development of hyperlipidemia is well established. Recent studies employing corticosteroid withdrawal after transplantation have shown a marked reduction in cholesterol despite the use of cyclosporine. Data on corticosteroid withdrawal in living related transplants at our center show a significant reduction in total cholesterol after steroid withdrawal. Data from heart transplant recipients under corticosteroid-free protocols show a similar reduction in total cholesterol. Other treatments for hyperlipidemia include diet and cholesterol-lowering agents, such as Mevacor (lovastatin; Merck Sharp & Dohme, West Point, PA). The efficacy of lowering cholesterol in this high-risk population is unknown.
Preparation of active layer of solar cells device by F8T2 blending with PCBM (2010)

The conjugated polymer blending system has been attracting much attention in recent years due to their potential applications in optoelectronic devices, thin-film transistors, and photovoltaic devices with many advantages like easy preparation, low-cost, and the possibility to fabricate flexible devices for large area applications. In this study, Conjugated polymer Poly(9,9'-n-dioctylfluorene-alt-bithiophene) (F8T2) blended with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl Ester (PCBM) to prepare as the active layer in solar cells device. The basic thermal characteristic and phase transitions of the polymer blending layers were examined by using of Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermo gravimeteric Analyzer (TGA). Morphology evolutions of casting submicron layers via different annealing conditions were observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The optical properties of active Layer of polymer solar cells by different stacked mode designs also investigated by UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. It is found that the maximum absorption wavelength of liquid F8T2 and of PCBM were located at 436 nm and 342 nm, respectively. The corresponding conversion efficiency of devices specimens were prepared by screen printing in different stacking modes. In the present study, the experimental works focus on investigating the influence of thermal annealing conditions and stacking mode design on morphology and corresponding conversion efficiency performance of solar cell devices. The results will provide plenty of valuable information for the future optoelectronic applications.
