Tabletop soft x-ray lithography (2009)

A compact capillary discharge table top soft X ray laser was used for a table top photolithography tool using different approaches: holographic printing, interferometric lithography and coherent Talbot self imaging. Large areas, of the order of millimeter square, with periodic and arbitrary patterns were printed in a photoresist in short exposure times. The proof of principle of the lithographic technique achieved the expected ~100 nm resolution.
AI-driven Service-aware Real-time Slicing for beyond 5G Networks (2022)

Wide network softwarization is creating fertile ground for the application of novel concepts in the management of the deployed network functions. This allows a drastic shift for the applications hosted on top of the network, as instead of configuring their behaviour to match the network status (network-aware applications) the technology can shift to a self-organizing network that adapts to the hosted applications (service-aware network). In this work, we design, develop and evaluate such a service-aware approach for the telecommunications network. By employing Machine Learning, we are able to classify and predict traffic exchanges made over the network, and appropriately dynamically allocate the slices in the network in real-time. We use as a reference platform the OpenAirInterface framework, and the FlexRAN controller for programming the slice decisions at the RAN level, and evaluate our scheme under real-world settings in a testbed environment.
A poly(pyrrole-Cobalt(II)deuteroporphyrin) electrode for the potentiometric determination of nitrite (2003)

The electrochemical properties of a new Co(II) deuteroporphyrin substituted by two electropolymerizable pyrrole groups has been investigated in organic solvent. This functionalization has allowed the preparation of the first example of a cobalt deuteroporphyrin film by oxidative electropolymerization. The resulting conducting polypyrrole film exhibits the regular electroactivity of cobalt deuteroporphyrin. Compared to conventional cobalt porphyrin electrochemistry, the replacement of porphyrin macrocycle by deuteroporphyrin ring results in markedly more negative potential values for the metalcentered oxidation and reduction processes. The influence of NO2- as axial ligand on the reductive behavior of the electropolymerized cobalt (II) deuteroporphyrin is examined. The recognition properties of the film illustrated by the potentiometric shift of the Co(II)/(I) reduction were exploited for the determination of NO2- in the concentration range 2 10-6- 2.5 10-4 M.
AADE 2009 NTCE-15-02: THE USE OF SMART-FILTER-CAKE RESERVOIR DRILLING FLUID IN THE WILMINGTON FIELD (2009)

A novel reservoir drilling fluid has been developed and used for the purpose of lessening the potential for formation damage and at the same time mitigating risk of damaging the completion tools. This reservoir drilling fluid (RDF) was developed initially to use in wells where the filter cake is confined by completion methods such as a gravel pack or expandable screens, but its use has been expanded to wells where other completion techniques are utilized. The Smart-Filter-Cake (SFC) RDF system deposits a filter cake which is predominantly impermeable to aqueous fluids, thus reducing fluid loss into the producing formation. At the same time, since the filter cake is formulated to be less water wetting, it tends to adhere less strongly to the wellbore. Finally, because the filter cake is permeable to formation hydrocarbons, produced fluids preferentially flow through the cake once the production process is initiated. This system utilizes organophilic material to modify the wettability of the filter cake, thereby decreasing adhesion of the filter cake on the formation and facilitating transport of hydrocarbons through it; consequently, the need for stimulation to remove the residual filter cake is greatly reduced. This paper details the use of the SFC RDF system in the Wilmington Field off the coast of Long Beach, California over a four-year period. Conditions for the initial application of the SFC RDF system are discussed, along with expansion of its use and its performance in the field.

Deep depletion concept for diamond MOSFET (2017)

A stable deep depletion regime is demonstrated in metal oxide semiconductor capacitors using p-type oxygen-terminated (100) diamond as a semiconductor and Al2O3 deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition at 380 °C. Current voltage I(V) and capacitance voltage C(V) measurements were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of diamond semiconductor gate control. An effective modulation of the space charge region width is obtained by the gate bias, where the deep depletion regime is demonstrated for a positive gate bias. The deep depletion concept is described and proposed for MOSFET devices. Finally, a proof of concept of diamond deep depletion MOSFETs is presented.
<i>In vivo</i> recombination efficiency of two site‐specific recombination systems, VCre/VloxP and SCre/SloxP, in medaka (<i>Oryzias latipes</i>) (2016)

The present study delineates the in vivo efficiency of two site-specific recombination systems, VCre/VloxP and SCre/SloxP, in medaka (Oryzias latipes). VCre, SCre, and Cre RNA was microinjected into fertilized medaka eggs belonging to three transgenic lines harboring VloxP, SloxP, and loxP cassette. VCre induced site-specific recombination specifically at VloxP sequence and SCre at SloxP sequence without any cross-reactivity. These findings provide two novel alternative recombination systems in vivo in addition to the existing Cre/loxP and Flp/FRT systems, thus enabling sophisticated gene expression in model organisms.
Repair of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm in a neonate using an everted jugular vein patch (2017)

A 43-day-old boy presented with bacteremia after umbilical artery catheterization. Duplex ultrasound examination revealed a 1.1- × 1.6-cm mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm and an incidental asymptomatic occluded right common iliac artery. Resection and repair were completed by creating an everted, double-layered internal jugular vein patch. Screening ultrasound examination 10 months postoperatively demonstrated successful repair.
Proceeding of the 9th Alcohol Hangover Research Group Meeting (2018)

Knockout of the lignin pathway gene <scp><i>BnF5H</i></scp> decreases the S/G lignin compositional ratio and improves <i>Sclerotinia sclerotiorum</i> resistance in <i>Brassica napus</i> (2021)

Ferulate-5-hydroxylase is a key enzyme involved in the conversion of the guaiacyl monolignol to the syringyl monolignol in angiosperms. The monolignol ratio has been proposed to affect biomass recalcitrance and the resistance to plant disease. Stem rot caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Brassica napus causes severe losses in its production. To date, there is no information about the effect of the lignin monomer ratio on the resistance to S. sclerotiorum in B. napus. Four dominantly expressed ferulate-5-hydroxylase genes were concertedly knocked out by CRISPR/Cas9 in B. napus, and three mutant lines were generated. The S/G lignin compositional ratio was decreased compared to that of the wild type based on the results of Mӓule staining and 2D-NMR profiling in KO-7. The resistance to S. sclerotiorum in stems and leaves increased for the three f5h mutant lines compared with WT. Furthermore, we found that the stem strength of f5h mutant lines was significantly increased. Overall, we demonstrate for the first time that decreasing the S/G ratio by knocking out of the F5H gene improves S. sclerotiorum resistance in B. napus and increases stem strength.

Plenary Talk II: Measuring Student Engagement in Early Engineering Coursework (2020)

This talk describes recent efforts for quantifying students' engagement in early engineering coursework, through designing, implementing, and testing a system to measure the students' emotional, behavioral, and cognitive engagement states. Engineering programs suffer from a high rate of attrition in the freshman year, primarily due to poor engagement of students with their classes. The project plans to develop a sensor-driven, computational approach to measure emotional and behavioral components of student engagement. This information will be used to identify teaching strategies that increase engagement, with the goal of enhancing student success and retention in STEM education pathways. The project features a multi-disciplinary collaboration between faculty and undergraduate researchers in engineering, the physical sciences, psychological sciences, and education. The project involves students in first- and second-year engineering STEM subjects and the experienced faculty who teach these courses. Findings from the project could be a valuable step toward an early warning system to detect student disengagement and anxiety in STEM and non-STEM courses. Project goals include: (i) establishment of a robust network of non-obtrusive and non-invasive sensors in mid-size classes to enable real-time extraction of facial and vital signs, which will be integrated and displayed on instructors' dashboards; (ii) identification of robust descriptors for modeling the emotional and behavioral components of engagement using data collected by the sensor networks; (iii) pilot testing of the system's effectiveness in gathering meaningful data for subsequent work on emotional, behavioral, and cognitive metrics of engagement. The fundamental research question to be addressed relates to improving student learning by the automated capture of non-verbal cues of engagement: How can we use students' expressions of engagement, based on non-verbal signs such as facial expressions, body and eye movements, physiological reactions, posture, to enhance learning? Findings from the project will constitute a foundation for multi-disciplinary research to incorporate novel machine learning and artificial intelligence-based models for measuring engagement in STEM classes. This project has been funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The talk will describe our latest discoveries in this long-term and multidisciplinary project.
Impact ionization by hot carriers in a black phosphorus field effect transistor (2018)

The strong Coulombic interactions in miniaturized structures can lead to efficient carrier multiplication, which is essential for many-body physics and design of efficient photonic devices beyond thermodynamic conversion limits. However, carrier multiplication has rarely been realized in layered semiconducting materials despite strong electronic interactions. Here, we report the experimental observation of unusual carrier multiplication in a multilayer black phosphorus device. Electric field-dependent Hall measurements confirm a substantial increase of carrier density in multilayer black phosphorus channel, which is attributed to the impact ionization by energetic carriers. This mechanism relies on the generation of self-heating induced charge carriers under the large electric field due to competition between electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in the direct and narrow band gap (0.3 eV) of the multilayer black phosphorus. These findings point the way toward utilization of carrier multiplication to enhance the performance of electronics and optoelectronics devices based on two-dimensional materials.
Estimation of Cell Size Using the Composite Hindered and Restricted Model of Diffusion (2009)

Diffusion imaging has become a tool for microstructural assessment of neuronal tissue, ranging from characterizing aligned neuronal fibers via diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (1,2) to fine delineation of axonal density (with the composite hindered and restricted model of diffusion, CHARMED) (3,4), to measurement of the axon diameter distribution (with AxCaliber) (5) and local gray matter anisotropy (with the double pulsed gradient spin echo framework) (6). In the late 1980s, it was suggested that using the q-space approach one can extract the dimension of

Influence of Environmental Parameters on EDTA Biodegradation in Soils and Sediments (1977)

Abstract 14 C‐EDTA (ethylenediaminetraacetate) was slowly degraded 14 CO 2 by all soils tested from the major agricultural EDTA use areas; by soils varying in uses, pH, and texture; and by sediments from the Detroit River. EDTA degradation appears to be a result of cometabolism by established microbial populations. Production of 14 CO 2 from EDTA occurred under aerobic but not anaerobic conditions. No detectable quantities of intermediates accumulated under either condition. EDTA degradation followed first‐order kinetics for concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 90 ppm. Degradation was observed up to 1,000 ppm EDTA, the highest concentration tested. The date of sample collection had a marked effect on extent of degradation with the winter‐collected samples showing greater than twice the degradation of summer‐collected samples. The Q 10 was two up to 30C. Initially degradation at 50C was limited, but after 9 weeks incubation the rate accelerated indicating the adaptation of thermo‐tolerant EDTA‐degrading populations. The extent of degradation among soils was variable; common values for 2 to 4 ppm of added 14 C‐EDTA mineralized were 13 to 45% after 15 weeks and 65 to 70% after 45 weeks.
A Structure–Activity Relationship Study of Bitopic<i>N</i><sup>6</sup>-Substituted Adenosine Derivatives as Biased Adenosine A<sub>1</sub>Receptor Agonists (2018)

The adenosine A<sub>1</sub> receptor (A<sub>1</sub>AR) is a potential novel therapeutic target for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, to date, clinical translation of prototypical A<sub>1</sub>AR agonists has been hindered due to dose limiting adverse effects. Recently, we demonstrated that the biased bitopic agonist 1, consisting of an adenosine pharmacophore linked to an allosteric moiety, could stimulate cardioprotective A<sub>1</sub>AR signaling in the absence of unwanted bradycardia. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the structure-activity relationship of compound 1 biased agonism. A series of novel derivatives of 1 were synthesized and pharmacologically profiled. Modifications were made to the orthosteric adenosine pharmacophore, linker, and allosteric 2-amino-3-benzoylthiophene pharmacophore to probe the structure-activity relationships, particularly in terms of biased signaling, as well as A<sub>1</sub>AR activity and subtype selectivity. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that the allosteric moiety, particularly the 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl substituent of the thiophene scaffold, is important in conferring bitopic ligand bias at the A<sub>1</sub>AR.
A Critical Analysis of Techniques and Basic Phenomena Related to Deposition of High Temperature Superconducting Thin Films (1990)

The processes involved in plasma and ion beam sputter-, electron evaporation-, and laser ablation-deposition of high temperature superconducting thin films are critically reviewed. Recent advances in the development of these techniques are discussed in relation to basic physical phenomena, specific to each technique, which must be understood before high quality films can be produced. Low temperature processing of films is a common goal for each technique, particularly in relation to integrating high temperature superconducting films with the current microelectronics technology. Research is now demonstrating that the introduction of oxygen into the growing film, simultaneously with the deposition of the film components, is necessary to produce as-deposited superconducting films at relatively low substrate temperatures.

Complications of Limb-Lengthening in Children Who Have an Underlying Bone Disorder* (1998)

We retrospectively reviewed the results, particularly with regard to complications, of lengthening of long bones in eight children (nine limb segments) who had a limb-length discrepancy secondary to an underlying bone disorder (Group 1). The mean age of these patients was twelve years (range, six to sixteen years), the mean preoperative limb-length discrepancy was 6.0 centimeters (range, 2.7 to 8.8 centimeters), and the mean lengthening of the nine limb segments was 6.2 centimeters (range, 2.7 to 9.0 centimeters). Only two extremities were equalized. We compared the results in Group 1 with those of limb-lengthening in seven children (nine limb segments) who had a discrepancy secondary to post-traumatic growth arrest (Group 2) and seven children (seven limb segments) who had a discrepancy secondary to growth arrest following an infection in the bone (Group 3). All of the procedures were performed at our institution during the same time-period by the same surgeons. There were forty-one complications (twenty-five minor and sixteen major), with a mean of five complications per limb segment, in Group 1; twenty-six complications (twenty minor and six major), with a mean of three complications per limb segment, in Group 2; and twenty-two complications (fourteen minor and eight major), with a mean of three complications per limb segment, in Group 3. The results in Group 1 suggest that the Ilizarov technique for lengthening, although effective in restoring the length of the extremity, is associated with a higher rate of complications in patients who have a discrepancy due to an underlying bone disorder than in those who have a discrepancy due to growth arrest. Therefore, caution should be exercised before a lengthening procedure is recommended for a patient who has an underlying bone disorder.
Safety and Effectiveness of Outpatient Total Ankle Arthroplasty (2021)

The use of standardized outpatient postoperative pathways was effective in preventing readmissions and complications, while still resulting in high patient satisfaction scores. A review of the literature complemented our results, as there are largely no significant differences between outpatient and inpatient TAA.<b>Level of Evidence:</b> Level IV, case series.
Observations on the Sliding Wear of Ceramics (1985)

Modern design concepts for heat engines with increased thermal efficiency call for the utilization of ceramic components. In some applications, lubrication of these components will be difficult to maintain. Consequently, a need exists for an expanded understanding of the dry sliding wear behavior of ceramics. Sliding wear experiments were performed on several ceramic pairs from which wear rate data and information on the nature of the physical damage resulting from dry sliding were obtained. The wear evaluation was a pin-on-disk test. The test conditions included temperatures as high as 425°C, a surface velocity of 0.3 m/s, and a normal force of 9.0 N. Most of the specimens experienced moderate to severe damage. Damage characterized as mild wear was observed in a single room temperature test. The coefficient of friction for the damaged specimens ranged from 0.7 to 1.0, while this value was consistently 0.24 for the undamaged specimen. The implications of these results for wear mechanism are discussed.
Methods for Interactive Exploration of Large-Scale News Streams (2010)

This paper presents a visual analytics approach to exploring large news articles collection in the domains of polarity, spatial and entity analysis. The exploration is performed on the data collected with Europe Media Monitor (EMM), a system which monitors over 2,500 online sources and processes 90,000 articles per day. In the analysis of the news feeds, we want to find out which topics are important in different countries, what is the general polarity of the articles within these topics and how the quantitative evolution of entities that are mentioned in the news, such as persons and organizations, developed over time. To assess the polarity of a news article, automatic techniques for polarity analysis are employed and the results are represented using Literature Fingerprinting for visualization. In the spatial description of the news feeds, every article can be represented by two geographic attributes, news origin and the location of the event itself. In order to assess these spatial properties of news articles, we conducted our analysis, which is able to cope with size and spatial distribution of the data. To demonstrate the use of our system, we also present case studies that show a) temporal analysis of entities, and b) analysis of their co-occurrence in news articles. Within this application framework, we show opportunities how real-time news feed data can be efficiently analyzed.

DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT PARKING RAMPS FROM JET OILS AND AUXILIARY POWER UNITS (1993)

The precise cause for concrete damage observed in the vicinity of parked B-1 and F/A-18 aircraft has been determined. The combination of downward-directed auxiliary power unit (APU) blast and spilled aircraft oils are responsible for the scaling observed at these sites. Laboratory tests confirmed that ester-based lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids are chemically reacting with the hydroxyl component from the calcium hydroxide or the calcium silicate hydrate in the concrete and destroying the bond. The cyclic heating of the pavement by the APU greatly accelerates the reaction and facilitates the mixing and refluxing of aircraft fluids with the aqueous calcium hydroxide present. Laboratory techniques are demonstrated that duplicate the chemical reactions occurring in the field and allow for quick and accurate assessment of new materials before field testing. In addition, hydrolysis of lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids was replicated in a controlled laboratory experiment within 5 weeks, eroding a 10-cm (4-in.) concrete slab that was kept partially submerged in water.
