Network Based Complexity Analysis in Tactile Brain Computer Interface Task (2013)

We study the extent to which network based brain complexity analysis methods for EEG feature extraction could result with improved brain state classification accuracy in a tactile Brain Computer Interface (tBCI) paradigm. The state– of–the–art feature extraction and classification methods do not utilize brain network dynamics techniques as a possible way to capture and elucidate with non–invasive, high temporal resolution methods such as EEG. We propose to employ the brain network dynamics and information transfer evaluation methods to create the new EEG feature extraction in the tBCI paradigm. The feasibility of such approach is discussed together with the obtained results and evaluated in comparison with the contemporary methods.
Thermal characteristics of silicone rubber filled with ATH and silica under laser heating (2003)

This work explores the thermal behavior of silicone rubber filled at different concentrations with alumina trihydrate (ATH) and silica. Three particle sizes, 1.5 /spl mu/m, 5 /spl mu/m and 10 /spl mu/m, were employed in the sample preparation. A near-infrared laser was used to heat the samples. The concentration of the filler plays a major role on improving thermal conductivity when compared to particle size. Nevertheless, better thermal conductivity could be distinguished at 5 /spl mu/m for ATH and 1.5 /spl mu/m for silica, at all concentrations.
Performance Characterization of Nanofiltration Membranes Based on Rigid Star Amphiphiles (2007)

The objective of this study was to develop new nanofiltration (NF) membranes capable of providing significantly greater water permeability and higher rejection of water contaminants compared to state-of-the-art NF membranes. The active layer of the new NF membranes is prepared with rigid star amphiphiles (RSAs) synthesized as part of this study. Performance characterization for a first generation of RSA membranes in a bench-scale apparatus reveals that most of the new membranes provide water permeability of 1.3-3.1 times that of two commercial NF membranes with polyamide active layers while providing comparable rejection of the organic contaminant surrogate Rhodamine WT. However, the rejection of arsenious acid (H3AsO3) by most new NF membranes was found to be lower than that by the two commercial NF membranes tested. Future research efforts of this study will focus on exploring if H3AsO3 rejection could be significantly increased, without negatively affecting water permeability and organic contaminant rejection, by addition of various chemical groups to RSA hydrophobic cores and hydrophilic branches, and by RSA cross-linking.

TGF-β Signaling in Homeostasis and Cancer (2008)

TGF-β is a member of a large family of cytokines with a crucial role in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. Disruption of the TGF-β signaling pathway has been implicated in many human diseases including cancer. In normal epithelial cells, TGF-β acts as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cellular proliferation. During cancer progression, tumor cells escape from the TGF-β antiproliferative response either by acquiring mutations in components of the TGF-β pathway or by selectively inactivating the pathway that leads to cell cycle arrest. In the latter case, TGF-β becomes an oncogenic factor. Over the last years, some of the molecular mechanisms implicated in the TGF-β antiproliferative response have been elucidated and we are beginning to understand how TGF-β is transformed from an anti-tumorigenic factor into an oncogenic factor during cancer progression. This allows a better understanding of cancer biology and helps in the design of better therapeutic protocols against this deadly disease.

Optical properties of a total-reflection-type one-dimensional photonic crystal (2002)

We produced an asymmetric Fabry-Perot microcavity using total reflection, and its optical properties were investigated. The structure is considered to be a total-reflection-type 1-D photonic crystal. An electric-field enhancement of incident light in a defect layer installed inside the photonic crystal was observed by fluorescence emission from dye molecules doped into the defect layer division. We confirmed that the incident light intensity was strengthened by about 63 times in the defect layer.
A 10-bit fast lock data recovery compensating pulse-width distortion for isolated data communications (2014)

This paper presents a fast lock data recovery, which can compensate pulse-width distortion of the data signal waveform caused by the optocoupler. The proposed technique exploits the nature that only the rising edges of the data have a fixed amount of time delay at the output of the optocoupler. This delay is cancelled out by a recursive digital calculation after the bit number estimation using the blind oversampling. An experimental prototype fabricated in an in-house 40-V 0.8-um SOI BCD automotive process compensates more than ±50% pulse-width distortion with only 10-bit training as a preamble pattern. It can be applied with an inaccurate CR oscillator with 0.17-UI (unit interval) peak-to-peak jitter and up to ±10% frequency offset between the transmitter and the receiver.
Crossover study of the pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone administered intravenously or intramuscularly to healthy volunteers (1983)

The pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone were investigated in six healthy adults. One-gram doses were administered either intramuscularly or intravenously in a crossover design study. Mean peak ceftriaxone concentrations in plasma of 79.2 and 123.2 micrograms/ml were achieved with intramuscular injection and intravenous infusion, respectively, with plasma half-lives of 5.4 and 5.8 h. The urinary recovery of ceftriaxone in the first 24 h was 37% after intravenous infusion and 25% after intramuscular injection.

Tri-Focal Rig (Practical Camera Configurations for Image and Depth Acquisition) (2013)

In many VFX productions the existence of a disparity or depth map for the captured images is of the essence. This article describes two approaches for simultaneous acquisition of image and depth information. The first approach utilizes three cameras, one primary motion picture camera and two smaller auxiliary cameras. A robust and set-ready tri-focal camera rig was designed and implemented, which meets the requirements of motion picture professionals and enables precise and robust alignment of the cameras and perfect synchronization. — In the second approach a depth camera based on the principle of time-of-flight is integrated with a motion picture camera forming the so-called Motion Scene Camera. A rotating mirror shutter allows both sensors to utilize a single lens and capture the scene from the same viewing point. Both concepts have taken extensive tests, including a real production for the tri-focal approach and first field tests for the motion scene camera. Results are very encouraging and exalt the imagination of novel post production applications like hybrid 3D production and depth based masking and compositing.
Factor Va Residues 311–325 Represent an Activated Protein C Binding Region (2007)

Activated protein C (APC) inactivates factor Va (fVa) by proteolytically cleaving fVa heavy chain at Arg(506), Arg(306), and Arg(679). Factor Xa (fXa) protects fVa from inactivation by APC. To test the hypothesis that fXa and APC share overlapping fVa binding sites, 15 amino acid-overlapping peptides representing the heavy chain (residues 1-709) of fVa were screened for inhibition of fVa inactivation by APC. As reported, VP311-325, a peptide comprising residues 311-325 in fVa, dose-dependently and potently inhibited fVa-dependent prothrombin activation by fXa in the absence of APC. This peptide also inhibited the inactivation of fVa by APC, suggesting that this region of fVa interacts with APC. The peptide inhibited the APC-dependent cleavage of both Arg(506) and Arg(306) because inhibition was observed with plasma-derived fVa and recombinant R506Q and RR306/679QQ fVa. VP311-325 altered the fluorescence emission of dansyl-active site-labeled APC(i) but not a dansyl-active site-labeled thrombin control, showing that the peptide binds to APC(i). This peptide also inhibited the resonance energy transfer between membrane-bound fluorescein-labeled fVa (donor) and rhodamine-active site-labeled S360C-APC (acceptor). These data suggest that peptide VP311-325 represents both an APC and fXa binding region in fVa.
<title>Thermal stability of PECVD W-B-N thin film as a diffusion barrier</title> (1997)

Effects of boron and nitrogen on electrical and metallurgical properties of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition W-B-N thin film have been investigated. These impurities keep the W-B-N thin film in a nanostructured amorphous phase and provide a stuffing effect that is very effective for preventing the fast diffusion of Cu atoms during a high temperature annealing process. The resistivity of the amorphous W-N and W-B-N thin films is attainable between 140 and 153 (mu) (Omega) -cm by controlling a B<SUB>10</SUB>H<SUB>14</SUB>/NH<SUB>3</SUB> flow ratio. XRD, Nomarski microscope, RBS, and TEM analysis show that the W-N and W-B-N barriers do not react with Si during an annealing in Ar ambient at 800 - 900 degree(s)C for 30 min and prevent interdiffusion of the Cu atom at 800 approximately 850 degree(s)C for 30 min, which is the best result regarding to the thermal stability of the diffusion barrier. An electromigration test for a SiO<SUB>2</SUB>/W-N/Al interconnect reveals that a medium time to failure is 2 times that of SiO<SUB>2</SUB>/TiN/Al schemes.
Ultra-wideband (UWB) Bandpass Filter with Cascaded Lowpass Filter on Multilayer Liquid-Crystal Polymer (LCP) Substrate (2015)

An ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter with extended upper-stopband on multilayer liquid-crystal-polymer (LCP) substrate is presented in this paper. The proposed filter is designed to select the frequency band from 1.0 to 20 GHz. The filter consists of two parallel-coupled stub-loaded resonators separated by a composite lowpass filter. The composite lowpass filter is implemented to obtain a very wide rejection band. The proposed filter is fabricated using multilayer LCP technology. Excellent agreement between expected and measured results of the filter is obtained. The measurement results show that the fabricated filter has a fractional bandwidth of 180% and a very low insertion loss of less than 0.6 dB at center frequency of 10.5 GHz. The measured filter has a wide stopband and an excellent rejection level higher than 40 dB.
In-Situ Contained And Of Volatile Soil Contaminants (2005)

The invention relates to a novel approach to containing and removing toxic waste from a subsurface environment. More specifically the present invention relates to a system for containing and removing volatile toxic chemicals from a subsurface environment using differences in surface and subsurface pressures. The present embodiment generally comprises a deep well, a horizontal tube, at least one injection well, at least one extraction well and a means for containing the waste within the waste zone (in-situ barrier). During operation the deep well air at the bottom of well (which is at a high pressure relative to the land surface as well as relative to the air in the contaminated soil) flows upward through the deep well (or deep well tube). This stream of deep well air is directed into the horizontal tube, down through the injection tube(s) (injection well(s)) and into the contaminate plume where it enhances volatization and/or removal of the contaminants.

Development of .BETA.-tricalcium Phosphate/Collagen Sponge Composite for Bone Regeneration (2006)

Synthetic biomaterials have been developed and used for bone grafting. Here, we developed a biodegradable sponge composite for bone tissue engineering by combining beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and collagen. In addition, we sought to determine the optimal beta-TCP granules/collagen ratio by evaluating and bone formation in vivo. Porous beta-TCP granules were mixed with atelocollagen hydrochloride solution at various ratios--0.02, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 g/mL. The resultant mixtures were freeze-dried and subjected to dehydrothermal treatment in vacuo. The final composites obtained were designated beta-TCP/collagen sponge composites (beta-TCP/CS). Through compression testing, it was found that the stress values for beta-TCP/CS (0.2 g/mL) were higher than those of the other three composites over the whole strain range. Histological evaluation at four weeks after implantation revealed that the collagen sponge had degraded and newly formed bone was present on the surface of the beta-TCP granules. At 12 weeks, the beta-TCP granules were completely degraded and remodeling of the lamellar bone was observed.
Activation of the left motor cortex during left leg movements after right central resection (1999)

A patient with Rasmussen's encephalitis underwent a right central resection at the age of 6 as a treatment for status epilepticus. She became seizure free, but suffered a left hemiplegia which improved so that she could walk. Because of the recurrence of seizures an enlargement of the resection to a hemispherectomy was carried out 17 years after the first operation. Various examinations, including H(2)(15)O PET and amytal testing, performed before this second operation indicated that a compensatory reinforcement of the ipsilateral uncrossed corticospinal and spinocortical pathways had taken place. This was confirmed postoperatively. The patient had no new sensorimotor deficits.
Evaluation of an FPGA-based Reconfigurable SoC for All-Digital Flexible RF Transmitters (2012)

In this paper an FPGA-based System-on-Chip (SoC) implementation of a flexible digital radio is presented and evaluated. The implemented transmitter is able to perform a direct up-conversion of a baseband signal to RF operating in the gigahertz frequency range as well as it enables the simultaneous transmission of two different carriers, each one having a different modulation, bandwidth, etc. The developed architecture is fully integrated into a single FPGA device and allows software programmability by including an embedded microprocessor for control operations. The high flexibility of this architecture allows to easily change the frequency of the carriers as also the spectral masks, making it interesting in the scope of white spaces exploration and for software radio-based applications.
Intrinsic efficiency of germanium: a basic for calculating expected detector efficiency. [Theoretical and experimental study] (1977)

A method is presented whereby the intrinsic efficiency of Ge is utilized to calculate the expected peak efficiency of detectors having a wide range of sizes. The intrinsic efficiency of Ge, which is the probability for total absorption, was measured at 122 and 136 keV in Ge(Li) coaxial detectors and HPGe planar detectors having an effective thickness ranging from 5 to 50 mm. At 136 keV it is 64 percent for a thickness of 10 mm and 82 percent for 20 mm, after which it levels off reaching 89 percent at 50 mm. It is shown that the peak efficiency of a detector is a product of only the intrinsic efficiency and the solid angle, once losses due to edge escape and detector imperfections (surface channels and high dislocation densities) are determined. The absolute and relative (to NaI(Tl)) peak efficiency of a sample detector, calculated on the basis of intrinsic efficiency, are in good agreement with measured values. This method should find applications in the design of new detector systems particularly those for diagnostic imaging with /sup 99/Tc (140 keV).

We report the single-crystal structure of an inorganic gallium cluster [Ga13(mu3-OH)6(mu2-OH)18(H2O)24](NO3)15.6H2O prepared using a simple organic reaction to drive the formation of the crystalline inorganic cluster.
In vivo Progress of Enamel and Root Surface Lesions under Plaque as a Function of Time (1988)

This paper deals with enamel and root surface demineralization under plaque in vivo as a function of time. The enamel was demineralized using the Ogaard method in which preformed orthodontic bands are attached to the premolars in situ for 4, 6, and 8 weeks; a niche in the bands is responsible for plaque accumulation. In a second experiment cement-covered root surfaces (and enamel) were mounted on a removable appliance (Hawley retainer). Also in this case an orthodontic band was placed over the samples to create a space for plaque accumulation of about 0.8 mm between sample and band. All samples were analyzed by means of microradiography. The results show that (1) demineralization of enamel with the Ogaard method and using the Hawley retainer gives values for lesion depth and mineral loss that are statistically not significantly different; (2) lesion progress and mineral loss in vivo is about 2.5 times faster in roots than in enamel; (3) the demineralization in enamel is roughly linear with time, and (4) roots demineralize in vivo very fast during the 1st week and much more slowly there after.
Adipose tissues from various anatomical sites are characterized by different patterns of gene expression and regulation (1993)

We have shown previously the presence of brown adipocytes among white fat pads, and proposed the existence of a spectrum of adipose depots according to the abundance of brown fat cells [Cousin, Cinti, Morroni, Raimbault, Ricquier, Pénicaud and Casteilla (1992) J. Cell Sci. 103, 931-942]. In this study, we tried to characterize this spectrum better. We determined in several adipose depots (i) the richness of pre-adipose cells, as assessed by A2COL6 mRNA levels; (ii) whether a fat pad was characterized by a pattern of mRNA expression; (iii) whether this pattern was close related to abundance of brown adipocytes, and (iv) whether the regulation of this pattern by catecholamines under cold exposure or beta-agonist treatment was similar in the different pads. This was achieved by studying proteins involved in glucose and lipid metabolism such as insulin-sensitive glucose transporter (GLUT4), fatty acid synthase, lipoprotein lipase and fatty acid binding protein aP2, as well as beta 3-adrenergic-receptor expression. Among white adipose depots, the periovarian fat pad was characterized by the highest content of pre-adipocytes and of brown adipocytes, and inguinal fat by the highest lipogenic activity potential. There was no close correlation between beta 3-adrenergic-receptor expression and brown adipocyte content in the tissues, as measured by the degree of uncoupling protein (UCP) gene expression. However, in pads expressing UCP mRNA, mRNA levels of beta 3-adrenergic receptor and other markers were increased in parallel. Under cold exposure or beta 3-agonist treatment, a specific up-regulation of GLUT4 expression was observed in interscapular brown adipose tissue. The regional difference described in this study, could participate in preferential fat-pad growth under physiological conditions as well as in pathological situations.
