High-Accuracy Carrier Phase Discriminator in One-Bit Quantized Software-Defined Receivers (2008)

In this letter, a novel phase discriminator called digital phase discriminator (DPD) is proposed for 1-bit analog-to-digital-conversion (ADC) software-defined receivers. Using fewer computations, the DPD achieves higher accuracy than that of the typical arctangent phase discriminator (APD). The improvement is up to several orders when the sampling frequency keeps increasing since the accuracy of APD is bounded mainly due to quantization loss. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach and the critical uniformity condition is verified.
PLUGE method of adjusting picture monitors in television studios (1966)

The PLUGE method is described, and its advantages are given. Five sets of reference conditions for setting up picture monitors are presented. Further, it is shown that the required PLUGE black level is dependent upon the value of base luminance.
All-to-all broadcast on switch-based clusters of workstations (2003)

This paper presents efficient all-to-all broadcast algorithms for arbitrary irregular networks with switch-based wormhole interconnection and unicast message passing. First, all-to-all broadcast is considered within a single switch cluster. Both combining and non-combining algorithms are compared via analytical modeling and simulation. The characteristics of optimal all-to-all broadcast operation are considered and applied to the development of multiswitch algorithms. The single switch algorithms are considered on two switch clusters and a near-optimal algorithm is developed which schedules use of interconnecting links where the potential for link contention exists. Finally, the link scheduling concept is extended to handle arbitrary irregular networks. Operation of this algorithm is simulated on a 128-node irregular network, and shows a 27.1% improvement in performance compared to other algorithms.

Recovery of Solvent and By-Products from Organosolv Black Liquor (1999)

The recovery of alcohol and by-products from ethanol-water and methanol-water pulping liquors was studied. The recovery system proposed consists of three stages: black liquor flashing, lignin precipitation, and precipitation distillation of mother liquor. At the flash stage, 47 and 51% of the alcohol in the black liquor are recovered for ethanol and methanol processes, respectively. The lignin recovery yield at the precipitation stage is 67% for ethanol black liquor and 73% for methanol black liquor. The distillation of precipitation mother liquors enables recovery of 98% ethanol and 96% methanol from this stream as distillate, whereas the distillation residue contains significant amounts of sugars, furfural, and acetic acid that can be recovered. The study concludes with the overall mass balance for the recovery system proposed.
Time-to-voltage converter for on-chip jitter measurement (2003)

In this paper, we present the concept and design of a time-to-voltage converter (TVC), and demonstrate its application to on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) jitter measurement. The TVC operates in an analog, continuous mode without using a sampling clock. It compares the signal under measurement with a reference signal by charging and discharging a capacitor. First, the low-frequency reference signal charges the capacitor in one cycle. Then, the jitter signal discharges the same capacitor repeatedly until the voltage on the capacitor falls below a threshold. The number of times the jitter signal needs to discharge the capacitor is recorded on a binary counter. We demonstrated that a 160-ps injected jitter is successfully measured by the proposed TVC with a 2-MHz reference signal. We also demonstrated the successful measurement of a 14-ps average PLL jitter, without jitter injection. An 8% measurement error is found in both experiments, using four-bit counters. Finally, we analyze the relations between design parameters and show trade-offs between measurement resolution and measurement time.
Complications in arthroscopy: The knee and other joints (1986)

Abstract A questionnaire was sent to members of the Arthroscopy Association of North America surveying complications in arthroscopic surgery of the knee and other joints. There were 395,566 arthroscopies reported including 375,069 knee arthroscopies, 14,329 shoulder arthroscopies, 4,478 ankle arthroscopies, 1,569 elbow arthroscopies, and 121 wrist arthroscopies. There were 2,215 complications reported. The overall complication rate was 0.56%. Specific procedures were surveyed for the first time. The complication rate reported for meniscal repair was 2.4%. The complication rate in anterior crusiate ligament (ACL) procedures (repairs and reconstructions) was 1.8%. The procedure with the highest complication rate was the anterior staple capsulorrhaphy of the shoulder (5.3%). Surgery in the subacromial space resulted in a complication rate of 0.76%. None of these complication rates included failures. As newer procedures are instituted into clinical practice that involve various joints, and are more technically demanding, the complication rate is increasing.
Formation of Zinc Oxide−Titanium Dioxide Composite Nanoparticles in Supercritical Water (2003)

Zinc oxide−titanium dioxide composite nanoparticles are prepared using a supercritical water reactor-in-series apparatus. Zinc oxide particles are produced from zinc acetate in the first reactor, and the particle suspension is fed to the second reactor where titanium oxide is formed from a titanium tetrachloride solution yielding ZnO−TiO2 composite nanoparticles. Reverse reactor order is also studied. Rapid and continuous production of nanosized composite particles is achieved in this reactor-in-series apparatus at 400 °C and 245 atm. Dynamic light scattering is used to determine the particle size, transmission electron microscopy is used to determine the particle morphology, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy is used to determine the composition.
Second-generation inhibitors of Bruton tyrosine kinase (2016)

Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a critical effector molecule for B cell development and plays a major role in lymphoma genesis. Ibrutinib is the first-generation BTK inhibitor. Ibrutinib has off-target effects on EGFR, ITK, and Tec family kinases, which explains the untoward effects of ibrutinib. Resistance to ibrutinib was also reported. The C481S mutation in the BTK kinase domain was reported to be a major mechanism of resistance to ibrutinib. This review summarizes the clinical development of novel BTK inhibitors, ACP-196 (acalabrutinib), ONO/GS-4059, and BGB-3111.
Intelligent backtracking on constraint satisfaction problems: experimental and theoretical results (1995)

The Constraint Satisfaction Problem is a type of combinatorial search problem of much interest in Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research. The simplest algorithm for solving such a problem is chronological backtracking, but this method suffers from a malady known as &quot;thrashing,&quot; in which essentially the same subproblems end up being solved repeatedly. Intelligent backtracking algorithms, such as backjumping and dependency-directed backtracking, were designed to address this difficulty, but the exact utility and range of applicability of these techniques have not been fully explored. This dissertation describes an experimental and theoretical investigation into the power of these intelligent backtracking algorithms. We compare the empirical performance of several such algorithms on a range of problem distributions. We show that the more sophisticated algorithms are especially useful on those problems with a small number of constraints that happen to be difficult for chronologica...
Nonperiodic Flipped EBG for Dual-Band SSN Mitigation in Two-Layer PCB (2019)

Several electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures have been designed to mitigate simultaneous switching noise (SSN) problems in dual bands in wireless local area networks (WLANs). In order to be applicable to two-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs), a novel flipped structure is introduced, which also creates slots for a wide stopband. This article proposes a 2 × 2 nonperiodic flipped-EBG (FEBG) for dual-band SSN mitigation in the WLAN, exhibiting noise suppression of 21 and 26 dB in 2.4-2.6 and 5-6 GHz bands, respectively. The simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, a method of positioning optimization is introduced as well to demonstrate the application of the FEBG on a two-layer PCB.
FLT3 inhibition in acute myeloid leukaemia (2007)

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that appears to play a significant role in leukaemogenesis. Activating mutations of FLT3 are present in approximately one-third of acute myeloid leukaemia patients and are associated with adverse clinical outcome, while many non-mutated cases also show evidence of FLT3 activation. FLT3 thus represents a potentially exciting molecular therapeutic target. A number of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors with anti-FLT3 activity have been developed and several of these compounds have entered early phase clinical trials where clinical anti-leukaemic activity has been demonstrated. The depth and duration of clinical responses to FLT3 inhibitor monotherapy have been modest, however, and a number of mechanisms by which blasts may acquire resistance have been proposed. Based on preclinical evidence of synergy with conventional chemotherapy, several combination trials are now underway. FLT3 inhibition may also be effective used in combination with other molecularly targeted agents, in postchemotherapy stem-cell-directed maintenance therapy and in MLL-rearranged infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Mixing effect of hole-injecting and hole-transporting materials on the performance and lifetime of organic light-emitting devices (2006)

A hole-injecting-transporting layer (HITL), which was prepared by in situ mixing hole-injecting and hole-transporting (HTM) materials upon evaporating in vacuum, has been attempted to reduce the number of organic layers in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). OLEDs with HITLs showed lower current density and luminance than those with hole-injecting layer only or hole-transporting layer only, which is attributed to the charge transport change controlled by the HITL nanomorphology made upon mixing. The highest efficiency and the longest lifetime were achieved for the OLED having the HITL with 25% HTM content, while the OLED with HTM only exhibited very poor device lifetime despite the highest efficiency.
Disrupting developer productivity one bot at a time (2016)

Bots are used to support different software development activities, from automating repetitive tasks to bridging knowledge and communication gaps in software teams. We anticipate the use of Bots will increase and lead to improvements in software quality and developer and team productivity, but what if the disruptive effect is not what we expect?
Isothermal Amplification of Genetically Modified DNA Sequences Directly from Plant Tissues Lowers the Barriers to High-Throughput and Field-Based Genotyping (2009)

DNA extractions are a major cost for high-throughput genotyping. The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay has been used for the detection of two genetically modified (GM) related sequences. The amplification of target DNA sequences from leaf and maize seed tissues prepared with minimum preparative treatment (disruption in water) demonstrates the ability of LAMP to work in conditions normally inhibitive to PCRs. The wide dynamic range of detection in these samples suggests that LAMP is highly sensitive even when the target is presented in such a crude form. LAMP offers a means of reducing genotyping costs as well as simplifying testing procedures.

Purification, new assay, and properties of coenzyme A transferase from Peptostreptococcus elsdenii (1975)

Coenzyme A (CoA) transferase from Peptostreptococcus elsdenii has been purified and crystallized, and some of its properties have been established. The work was facilitated by a newly developed coupled and continuous spectrophotometric assay in which the disappearance of added acrylate could be followed at 245 nm. The rate-limiting conversion of acetyl- and beta-hydroxypropionyl CoA to acrylyl CoA by CoA transferase was followed by the non-rate-limiting conversion to beta-hydroxypropionyl CoA by excess crotonase. Thus, a small priming quantity of acetyl CoA served to generate acrylyl CoA, which, by hydration, generated beta-hydroxypropionyl CoA. This product then served to generate more acrylyl CoA in cyclic fashion. The net result was the CoA transferase-limited conversion of acrylate to beta-hydroxypropionate. The purified transferase has a molecular weight of 125,000 and is composed of two subunits of 63,000 each, as determined by disc gel electrophoresis. Short-chain-length monocarboxylic acids are substrates, whereas dicarboxylic or beta-ketocarboxylic acids are not. The reaction kinetics are typical of a ping-pong bi bi mechanism composed of two half reactions linked by a covalent enzyme intermediate. Incubation of the transferase with acetyl CoA in the absence of a fatty acid acceptor yielded a stable intermediate which, by absorption spectrophotometry, radioactivity measurements, reduction with borohydride, reactivity with hydroxylamine, and catalytic activity, was identified as an enzyme-CoA compound. Kinetic constants for CoA transferase are: final specific activity, 110 U/mg of protein corresponding to 1.38 X 10(4) mumol of acrylate activated per mumol of transferase; Km for acrylate, 1.2 X 10(-3) M; Km for acetyl CoA (beta-hydroxypropionyl CoA), 2.4 X 10(-5) M.

Effect of Cryopreservation on Bovine Sperm Organelle Function and Viability As Determined by Flow Cytometry1 (1998)

Flow cytometry was used to compare the functional status of fluorescently stained sperm organelles from 12 Holstein bulls after storage for 24 h at 5 degrees C and after cryopreservation. The organelle-specific stains, SYBR-14 and LysoTracker Green DND-26, identified spermatozoa with intact plasmalemma and those with intact acrosomes, respectively. The mitochondria-specific stain, 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolyl-carbocyan ine iodide (JC-1), identified two populations of spermatozoa. One population stained red-orange because the JC-1 accumulated in the mitochondria as aggregates (characteristic of cells exhibiting a high membrane potential); a second population stained green because of JC-1 monomers within the mitochondria (characteristic of cells exhibiting a lower membrane potential). Analysis of variance revealed that within bulls, the properties of sperm viability, intact acrosomes, and mitochondrial status differed in spermatozoa stored for 24 h (p < 0.001) but not in cryopreserved spermatozoa (p > 0.11). Linear regression analyses resulted in significant models in which the proportions of stained spermatozoa stored for 24 h were indicative of those proportions observed in the cryopreserved fractions. These findings suggest that the plasmalemma, the acrosome, and the mitochondria of unfrozen spermatozoa varied as to their functional status. The cryopreservation process, however, resulted in a more uniform status of sperm organelles.
Who Really Did It? Controlling Malicious Insiders by Merging Biometric Behavior with Detection and Automated Responses (2012)

This ongoing research and development activity addresses aspects of a potential capability to detect credential misuse and a suggested alerting approach based on known attack conditions to support automated mitigation techniques. This research is based on the assumption that the audit data and human-computer activity characteristics extracted from networked components contain the footprint(s) of those trying to breach network security. It takes advantage of the combination of near-real-time suspicious activity detection with biometric behavior profiling to reduce profiling false positives and network access controls that enable faster and more focused responses to detected suspicious activities.
Electrical characterization of low temperature GaAs layers, and observation of the extremely large carrier concentrations in undoped material (1992)

We present here the results of a study on the effect of substrate temperature Ts on the electrical and physical characteristics of low temperature molecular-beam epitaxy GaAs layers. Based on the x-ray results, three temperature ranges have been defined for Ts: 1) high range (Ts≥ 460 °C), 2) intermediate range (260 ≤ Ts ≤ 450 °C), and 3) low range (the amorphous range) (Ts ≤ 250 °C). Hall measurements have been performed on the as-grown samples and on samples annealed at 610 and 850 °C. Si implantation into these layers has also been investigated. From an electrical stand point, the most striking difference between the low range and the intermediate range is the fact that after annealing at 850 °C, the undoped layers grown below or at 250 °C have a low resistivity (net electron concentrations as high as 1.5×1018 cm−3 and mobilities as high as 920 cm2 V−1 s−1), while after anneal the undoped layers grown in the intermediate range have extremely high resistivity (about 8×105 Ω cm).

Dengue-yellow fever sera cross-reactivity; challenges for diagnosis (2008)

Such very high cross-reactivity data challenged differential laboratory diagnosis of dengue and yellow fever in areas where both flaviviruses co-circulate. New laboratory strategies are thus needed for improving the tests and providing a specific laboratory diagnosis. Cross-reactivity between Flaviviruses represents a great difficulty for epidemiological surveillance and preventing dengue, both of which demand urgent attention.
How do Different Countries use PDO/GI Standards: A Case Study Comparing Wisconsin Cheddar to Parmesan-Reggiano (2009)

Protected Geographic Indicators (PGI) and Product Differentiation of Origination (PDO) are products that are linked to certain regions or countries that define them based on where they are produced, prepared and/or packaged before they are sold. However, the exact interpretation of PGI/PDOs is not synonymous around the world, leading to disputes over trade barriers between nations. The goal of this paper is to discuss the quality and safety control issues that go into the production of PGI/PDOs as well as trade regulations that are currently being discussed at the World Trade Organization’s Doha multilateral trade agreements meetings. A comparison of how countries mark PGI/PDO products is made by comparing two cheese industries: Wisconsin Cheddar from the United States and Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy. In theory, the World Trade Organization has a product labeling agreement that was created in 1979 under the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. However, as is most common, problems arise when countries begin to use their own forms of labeling, therefore resulting in barriers of trade between countries (WTO). Due to diverse thought among producers in different countries, there are often incentives that lead to different product labeling.
