Virtual grid symbolic layout (1982)

Free form or “stick” type symbolic layout provides a means of simplifying the design of IC subcircuits. To successfully utilize this style of layout, a complete design approach and the necessary tools to support this methodology are required. In particular, one of the requirements of such a design method is the ability to “compact” the loosely specified topology to create a set of valid mask data. This paper presents a new compaction strtegy which uses the concept of a virtual grid . The compaction algorithm using the virtual grid is both simple and fast, an veniently interact with the algorithm to optimize a layout. In addition to the compaction algorithm, methods used to create large building blocks will be described. The work described here is part of a complete symbolic layout system called MULGA which is written in the C programming language and resides on the UNIX operating system.
Significance of tumor-cell receptors in human cancer. (2002)

Every tumor cell is equipped with an array of biologically active surface molecules, and several of these function as receptors for various ligands. They include MHC, or in the case of humans, HLA antigens, cytokine receptors, cell-adhesion molecules, growth factor receptors, Fas/Fas-ligand molecules and others. Their expressions are a subject to alterations, usually to the advantage of tumor growth and spread. Some appear on tumor cells de novo, having no counterparts on the respective normal cells. Detailed knowledge about the expression of tumor-cell receptors and their genotypes, in particular of cancerous ones, may provide information essential for the creation of tools for specific tumor immunotherapy.
Geolocation of an Electromagnetic Emitter Using a Cyclostationary Time Difference of Arrival Technique (1992)

Many applications of signal processing require that the location of an electromagnetic emitter be determined. This thesis applies an algorithm developed by Dr. William A. Gardner in 1987, that geolocates such an emitter. Special features of the algorithm not only allow the detection of cyclostationary signals in strong negative signal to noise ratio environments, but also discriminate against unwanted signals not of interest that may either occupy the same frequency band or have similar signal characteristics as the signal of interest. This is accomplished by determining spectral correlation densities for cycle frequencies equal to various exploitable features of the bpsk direct sequence spread spectrum signal....Geolocation, Cyclostationary, TDOA, Spectral correlation, Cycle frequency, BPSK, Spread spectrum.
Synthesis of a naphthylvinyl-labeled glycerol ether analog of phosphatidylcholine and its use in the assay of phospholipase A2. (1987)

The synthesis of a naphthylvinyl-labeled glycerol ether analog of phosphatidylcholine, 1-O-[12-(2-naphthyl)-dodec-11-enyl]-2-O-decanoyl-sn-glycerol-3- phosphocholine (NVPC), is described. This involves a Wittig reaction between 2-naphthaldehyde and a phosphonium salt which gives the trans-naphthylvinyl group as the predominant isomer. Lyso NVPC was prepared from NVPC by phospholipase A2 action. NVPC absorbs strongly at 248 nm (epsilon = 58,300 M-1 cm-1) and gives broad fluorescence emission with maxima at 343 nm and 360 nm and a quantum yield of 0.10 in ethanol. An assay for phospholipase A2 was developed using high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection to separate and quantify NVPC and lyso NVPC. Activities as low as 1-2 pmol/min in an assay volume of 0.1 ml can easily be measured. The assay was used with a pure enzyme from cobra venom and a crude enzyme from synovial fluid. Enzyme specificities for phosphatidylcholine and NVPC with cobra venom and porcine pancreatic phospholipases A2 were compared using a titrametric assay. The use of the assay with NVPC to study the metabolism of platelet activating factor is discussed.

Electroplating of Sn-2.5Ag solders as 20 &#x03BC;m pitch micro-bumps (2010)

A Cu/Ni UBM and Sn-2.5Ag lead-free solder for 20 μm pitch micro-bump was successfully fabricated via consecutive electroplatings of Cu, Ni, and binary SnAg. Materials characterizations such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Electron Probe Micro-analyzer (EPMA), and X-ay Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were carried out to obtain relevant materials properties. We observed a strong effect of the plating current density on the resulting bump morphologies. After reflow, the solder revealed a spherical shape with a composition variation within 0.2 wt%.
Extended FORTRAN for Process Control (1968)

Real-Time Fortran IV, the process control language used by Honeywell's Computer Control Division, is described. This language consists of the standard USASI Fortran IV with syntactical extensions that allow process control problems to be stated entirely in compiler language. The description deals mostly with the extensions and the reasons for their inclusion. An example program is appended.
D-Mannose in human serum, measured as its aldononitrile acetate derivative. (1979)

We report a procedure for determining D-mannose in serum. After removal of proteins and lipids, the carbohydrate-containing fraction is treated to form the aldononitrile acetate derivative and analyzed by gas--liquid chromatography with a flame-ionization detector. D-Mannose and D-glucose had retention times of 31 and 34 min, respectively. Day-to-day reproducibilities (CV) of between 2 and 12% for mannose were attainable for quantities of 100--900 ng. Related hexoses and derivatives do not interfere. The sensitivity was such that 10 mg/L could be detected in a 0.1-mL sample of serum. This method may be of use in diagnosing invasive Candida infection.

More on Ellis v Evatt (1960)

In my opinion the judgements offered by H. V. Evatt in Rum Rebellion are broadly correct (see Meanjin, Vol. xviii, no. 4). Three documents, as yet unpublished, are here quoted to support this view. The first is a letter written by John Sullivan, an official at the Colonial Office, to John Macarthur. It was written on January 19, 1803 a few weeks after Macarthur's arrival in England under the arrest imposed on him by Governor King late in 1801.
Arc-furnace loads on long transmission lines (1940)

LARGE electric arc furnaces are loads which frequently introduce special technical problems when served from a central-station system. The fluctuations in the load taken by the furnaces are violent, and this characteristic combined with the inherently low power factor of this type of load results in a serious flicker problem. The low power factor also may require power-factor correction, in order to maintain a reasonable voltage level and reduce transmission losses. A further complication is that the arc is an excellent source of higher-harmonic currents and voltages. Where the load or the supply lines are close to telephone circuits, this may necessitate special measures to prevent telephone interference.

An analysis of steam flow in a chip refiner (1979)

A mathematical analysis is made for the steam flow in a disc refiner, used in the manufacture of wood pulp. The appropriateness of several mathematical models is deduced from the analysis. The experimentally determined pressure variation through the refiner serves as input data. If one assumes that the heat is uniformly developed, the observed pressure profile would indicate that the refiner plates are not rigid. If one assumes that the plates are rigid, the observed pressure profile would indicate a recondensation of steam in the outer part of the refiner. The calculations illustrate the utility of deducing aspects of the behavior of the refiner from the measured pressure profile.
Integration and Virtualization of Relational SQL and NoSQL Systems Including MySQL and MongoDB (2014)

NoSQL databases are growing in popularity for Big Data applications in web analytics and supporting large web sites due to their high availability and scalability. Since each NoSQL system has its own API and does not typically support standards such as SQL and JDBC, integrating these systems with other enterprise and reporting software requires extra effort. In this work, we present a generic standards-based architecture that allows NoSQL systems, with specific focus on MongoDB, to be queried using SQL and seamlessly interact with any software supporting JDBC. A virtualization system is built on top of the NoSQL sources that translates SQL queries into the source-specific APIs. The virtualization architecture allows users to query and join data from both NoSQL and relational SQL systems in a single SQL query. Experimental results demonstrate that the virtualization layer adds minimal overhead in translating SQL to NoSQL APIs, and the virtualization system can efficiently perform joins across sources.
Time-Cost Effective Factor of a Midimew Connected Mesh Network (2016)

Hierarchical Interconnection Network (HIN) is indispensable for the practical implementation of future generation massively parallel computer systems which consists of hundred thousands nodes or even millions of nodes. Because it yields good performance with low cost due to reduction of communication links and by exploring the locality in the communication & traffic patterns. A Midimew connected Mesh Network (MMN) is an HIN comprised of numerous basic modules, where the basic modules are 2D-mesh networks and they are hierarchically interconnected using midimew network to construct the higher level networks. In this paper, we present the architecture of a MMN and evaluate the time-cost effective factor of MMN, TESH, mesh, and torus networks. It is found that the proposed MMN yields slightly high time-cost effectiveness factor with small diameter and average distance as compared to other networks. Overall, performance with respect to time-cost effectiveness factor with small diameter and average distance suggests that the proposed MMN will be a indispensable choice for the next generation massively parallel computer systems.
Micronucleus and its significance in spectrum of cervical lesions (2021)

Introduction: Cervical cancer remains second most common cancer among the women worldwide despite effective screening methods. Micronuclei (MN) test on exfoliated cells have been one among tests used in cancer screening. They are intracytoplasmic inclusions derived from chromatin fragments reflecting chromosomal instability and is noted in high frequency in carcinogen-exposed tissues long before any clinical symptoms are evident.
Objective: To evaluate the role of micronuclei in inflammatory, preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of cervix.
Methodology: A prospective study was done on 80 cervical smears received in the department of pathology, from March 2016 to June of 2016, which were stained with papanicolau stain. Of which 75 smears were included and 5 were excluded. The smears were reported by two observers separately and independently for number of micronucleated cells per 1,000 epithelial cells in oil immersion magnification and were expressed as MN score per 1,000 cells and score was compared with the spectrum of cervical lesions.
Results: The mean MN scores ± SD in NILM, inflammatory, ASC-US, LSIL, HSIL and SCC cases were 0.38±0.74, 1.04±1.09, 1.29±0.48, 1.89±0.67, 3.73±1.29, and 6.67±0.81 respectively. MN scores of SCC and HSIL were significantly high compared to NILM(p

Measurement of Soil Bulk Electrical Conductivity Using Partially Coated TDR Probes (2009)

The time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique allows simultaneous estimation of apparent permittivity (ε a ) and bulk electrical conductivity (σ a ). In highly conductive media, however, the signal is completely attenuated, which precludes permittivity measurements. This study showed that σ a can be estimated in conductive media by applying long‐time TDR waveform analysis to a TDR probe partially insulated with a high‐dielectric coating. Four 10‐cm‐long three‐rod TDR probes with identical geometry but different percentages of rod coating were tested: an uncoated sensor (P 0 ) and probes with 50% (P 50 ), 75% (P 75 ), and 95% (P 95 ) of the rod length coated with an insulator with a relative permittivity (ε r ) of 32.3. A good relationship ( r 2 = 0.99) was found between the ε a estimated, if possible, with P 0 immersed in several conductive and nonconductive media and the corresponding values estimated with P 50 , P 75 , and P 95 The results also show that, for σ a values ranging between 0.4 and 0.75 S m −1 , simultaneous measurements of ε a and σ a were only possible using the partially coated probes. A good correlation was found between the σ a estimated with P 0 inserted in different soil columns wetted with highly saline solutions (i.e., σ a > 0.2 S m −1 ) and those values estimated with P 50 , P 75 , and P 95 ( r 2 = 0.96, RMSE = 1.08, and SD = 0.38). For σ a < 0.2 S m −1 , the accuracy of the partially coated TDR probes for estimations of σ a decreased as the percentage of the rod coating increased, with errors up to 292% when σ a determined by P 95 was compared with that estimated by P 0
Liver X Receptors in Atherosclerosis and Inflammation (2011)

Liver X receptors (LXRs) are cholesterol-sensing nuclear receptors that are not only key regulators of lipid metabolism and transport but also suppress inflammatory signaling in macrophages through a unique mechanism of transrepression. In this brief review, we focus on the regulatory actions of LXR primarily in macrophages responding to a proatherogenic environment. LXR potentially interferes with atherosclerosis by 2 different agonist-dependent signaling pathways. The first is through promoting reverse cholesterol transportby directly activating genes of cellular cholesterol export. The second is through a general inhibitory action on proinflammatory genes where sumo-modified and agonist-bound LXR recruits negative coregulatory proteins to nuclear factor κB at immune response gene promoters through protein-protein interactions. The antiinflammatory actions of LXR may be a direct response to the proinflammatory actions recently proposed for cholesterol on inflammasome activity in the vessel wall.
Performance Monitoring and Visualization of Large-Sized and Multi-Threaded Applications with the Paje Framework (2006)

Performance is a critical issue in the context of massively parallel programs. In practice, it is almost impossible to observe and understand the behavior of such programs without the assistance of automated tools which offer the program developer insights into the execution behavior of complex applications. Most of these tools are based on event-based and tracing techniques. As the size of the parallel system grows, it generates a huge size of events. Visualizing and animating gathered traces often produce a complex and non understandable diagrams and displays. Recently, the Paje visualization frameworks have been developed in our laboratory ID (Informatique et Distribution). This framework provides interactive and scalable behavioral visualizations of parallel and distributed applications. This papers presents an empirical performance monitoring and visualization study with two large scale applications (JonAS (200.000 LOCI) and Jboss (400.000 LOC)). We have developed an event-based tracing framework for large scale applications monitoring. We use Paje framework to observe and visualize a large amount of harvested events.
The origins and sequelae of abnormal neuroendocrine function in polycystic ovary syndrome (2006)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common clinical disorder characterized by ovulatory dysfunction and hyperandrogenaemia. A neuroendocrine hallmark of PCOS is persistently rapid LH (GnRH) pulsatility, which favours pituitary synthesis of LH over that of FSH and contributes to the increased LH concentrations and LH : FSH ratios typical of PCOS. Inadequate FSH levels contribute to impaired follicular development, whereas elevated LH levels augment ovarian androgen production. Whereas luteal phase elevations in progesterone normally slow GnRH pulse frequency, women with PCOS do not experience normal progesterone-mediated slowing, due in part to impaired hypothalamic progesterone sensitivity. This reduction in hypothalamic progesterone sensitivity appears to be mediated by elevated androgens because sensitivity can be restored with the androgen receptor blocker flutamide. The ovulatory and hormonal abnormalities associated with PCOS generally present during puberty, typically associated with hyperandrogenaemia. Along with elevated LH concentration and pulsatility, some girls with hyperandrogenaemia have impaired hypothalamic progesterone sensitivity similar to that seen in adult women with PCOS. We propose that peripubertal hyperandrogenaemia may lead to persistently rapid GnRH pulse frequency via impaired hypothalamic feedback inhibition. The subsequent abnormalities in gonadotropin secretion, androgen production and ovulatory function may support progression towards the adult PCOS phenotype.
Neural networks in electrical capacitance tomography (ECT)-based interface detection (2011)

Tomographic systems have been tested in separators for estimating the distribution of the three phases (including emulsion and foam) via interface detection in various laboratories. Experiments and simulations show that electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is capable of detecting the interface accurately in spite of the high conductivity of the water present. Due to the high conductivity of the water/brine in the pipe separator, the sensitivity of the capacitance measurements is to a certain extent immune to variations in material properties. In a series of preliminary tests, capacitance tomography was used to estimate the interface in a pipe separator containing oil and water/brine. Results obtained from laboratory scale models are presented and discussed with some information on the uncertainties involved. Artificial neural networks exhibit enhanced ability to mask variations in unwanted/unimportant parameters in the separation process, thus reducing the complexities involved in the solution of the essentially underdetermined system of equations evolving out of different models developed for the system. Due to ample data being available from tomographic systems, a data driven soft sensor (virtual sensor) approach is also discussed with some considerations on processing times to address the potential of the ECT in real time measurement and control applications.
Linear Receivers for Correlatively Coded MSK (1985)

In this paper we show that many spectrally efficient modified MSK schemes, termed generalized MSK, although not representable as OQPSK, may nevertheless be (suboptimally) demodulated using an <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I-Q</tex> receiver with a proper choice of carrier-phase offset. Correlatively coded MSK schemes with <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I-Q</tex> receivers are studied, and it is concluded that duobinary MSK and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">(1 + 2D + D^{2})/4</tex> MSK represent good performance-bandwidth tradeoffs among first- and second-order correlative coding polynomial schemes. The optimal design of these receivers are considered subject to the constraint of a finite duration impulse response, especially for asymptotic cases of arbitrarily small and large SNR. Filter design based on a zero-intersymbol interference constraint for PAM-based approximations of the signals is also considered. The optimized linear <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I-Q</tex> receivers for <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">(1 + D)/2</tex> MSK and <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">(1 + D)^{2}/4</tex> MSK are presented. These receivers are only 0.28 and 1.24 dB poorer than the optimal (Viterbi) receivers at high SNR.
