Transport and installation of 14 mooring piles at 1,300 m water depth with a DP2 heavy lift vessel (2010)

The Kikeh field is located in water of some 1,300 meters depth, and 65 miles northwest of Labuan, offshore of Sabah (Borneo) in eastern Malaysia. The Kikeh deepwater project (Fig. 1) includes the first spar platform installation outside the Gulf of Mexico. Mooring the 16,400-tonne spar and a tender-assisted drill rig requires the presence of a mooring system comprising 14 mooring piles of different lengths and weights, the largest of which is 55 m long, has a diameter of 2.13 m and weighs 140 tonnes.
A Bi-Phase MEMS Resonator Modulator (2013)

The high-electric field piezoelectric properties of a PZT-transduced, two-port, acoustic resonator are utilized to create a binary phase shift modulator. The modulator operates at frequencies below 100 MHz in a length extensional mode. Typical peak modulation voltage levels are 7 V. The design is configured as a subsystem with separate RF and data ports for use in low data rate, battery-powered networks.
Holographic imaging of acoustic waves in piezoelectric ceramics by local electric field probes (2011)

Lead Zirconate Titanate Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 (PZT) has emerged as a highly effective piezo-electric ceramic material for generation and detection of ultrasound waves. It has a widespread use in ultrasonic transducers [1, 2]. PZT is considered to be an important material for ferroelectric thin films and has concerning applications, developed rapidly in recent years due to its potential for effective in excitation and detection of ultrasonic waves [3, 4]. PZT has a high piezoelectric coefficient and a high dielectric constant (typically 1700)[5-7].
Selective Molecular−Complex Phase Formation of Syndiotactic Polystyrene with a Styrene Dimer (2006)

The possible formation of molecular−complex phases of s-PS with styrene dimers has been investigated by their sorption in amorphous and nanoporous δ-form films. X-ray diffraction, 13C solid state NMR, and FTIR analyses have shown that only 1,3-diphenylbutane (dpb), but not 1,4-diphenylbutane, forms a highly stable molecular−complex with s-PS. Preliminary structural considerations indicate that this s-PS/dpb molecular−complex phase presents an intercalate structure, with host-monomer-unit/guest stoichiometric ratio of 4/1 and with a guest conformation with anti C2−C3 bond. Guest conformational behavior has allowed to discriminate, for the first time by a NMR technique, between guest molecules located in crystalline and amorphous s-PS phases. Presently dpb is the s-PS guest with maximum volume (≈0.36 nm3) and maximum number of non-hydrogen atoms (n = 16).
Hypothalamo-pituitary effects of RU486: inhibition of progesterone-induced hyperprolactinaemia (1994)

Monkeys given oestrogen priming at physiological levels for at least 1 week become hyperprolactinaemic upon the addition of physiological progesterone administration. Here, using RU486, we test whether that this oestrogen/progestin-induced hyperprolactinaemia results from classical progesterone actions at the hypothalamo-pituitary level. Blood samples were collected daily from study day 1-67. Each monkey (n = 2) received daily injections of 25 micrograms/kg oestradiol benzoate, i.m., on study days 5-60. Progesterone-filled silastic capsules (3 cm) were inserted on study day 14 and removed on day 53. On study days 39-45, each monkey received RU486 (25 mg/day, p.o.). Serum samples were stored at -20 degrees C until assayed for prolactin, oestradiol, progesterone and RU486 by radioimmunoassay. Hyperprolactinaemia was induced in all three monkeys upon insertion of progesterone capsules. Prolactin concentrations fell sharply during RU486 treatment to nadirs some 10-fold less than prior to RU486 treatment. The time series was modelled by the Box-Jenkins autoregressive-integrated moving average (ARIMA) method with progesterone producing a gradual increase in prolactin concentrations and RU486 producing a sudden decrease. Statistically significant effects of progesterone and RU486 were found. Thus, the addition of progesterone to an oestrogenized milieu significantly increased prolactin concentrations, and RU486 fully reversed this effect. This evidence indicates that the progesterone-induced hyperprolactinemia in an oestrogenized milieu results from classical progesterone effects.
Vibration characteristics of implants (2003)

Vibro-acoustography is a technique that uses the radiation force of amplitude-modulated ultrasound to evaluate the dynamic response of an object at the modulation frequency. One potential application of this technique is to assess the reaction of the host tissue to the implant material by evaluating the mechanical properties of the tissue surrounding the implant. To do this, we use vibro-acoustography to measure the frequency response of the implant, and use this information to evaluate the mechanical parameters of the surrounding. Two theoretical models are developed to study the dynamic response of an implant in tissue. The first model is for an implant (1×25-mm steel beam) fully embedded in a viscoelastic medium (tissue). The second model is for a partially embedded implant with one part exposed to the open environment. The exposed end is rigidly connected to a base, and the other end is freely embedded in the viscoelastic medium. At the interface between the two media matching of boundary conditions is achieved to determine the force response. For both models eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are determined and transfer functions are evaluated. The first two natural frequencies compare well with available experimental and finite-element data.
Framework for Simulation-based Performance Assessment and Resilience Improvement (2016)

This paper presents a framework to assess and improve the resilience of a production system by identifying the ideal trade-off between disruption mitigation and associated cost. Through its modular structure, the developed framework is able to generate a simulation for an arbitrary production line, with all disruption relevant properties. Based on repeated, parallel runs of the simulation generated, the overall economically efficient level of disruption mitigation can be identified. In this first stage of the research this concerns the locations for buffers and their respective sizes. The ability to identify such optimal level of resilience may allow companies to alleviate the impact that disruptions have on their operations while taking into account the economic effectiveness of the measures taken.

Gold‐ and Platinum‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of Enynyl Esters versus Allenenyl Esters: An Experimental and Theoretical Study (2009)

Ester-way to heaven: Unexpected formation of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene 4 was the main focus of combined experimental and theoretical studies on the Au-catalyzed cycloisomerization of branched dienyne 1 (see scheme), which provided better understanding of the mechanistic details governing the cyclization of enynes bearing a propargylic ester group.Experimental and theoretical studies on Au- and Pt-catalyzed cycloisomerization of a branched dienyne with an acetate group at the propargylic position are presented. The peculiar architecture of the dienyne precursor, which has both a 1,6- and a 1,5-enyne skeleton, leads, in the presence of alkynophilic gold catalysts, to mixtures of bicyclic compounds 3, 4, and 5. Formation of unprecedented bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene 5 is the main focus of this study. The effect of the ancillary ligand on the gold center was examined and found to be crucial for formation of 5. Further mechanistic studies, involving cyclization of an enantioenriched dienyne precursor, (18)O-labeling experiments, and DFT calculations, allowed an unprecedented reaction pathway to be proposed. We show that bicyclo[3.1.0]hexene 5 is likely formed by a 1,3-OAc shift/allene-ene cyclization/1,2-OAc shift sequence, as calculated by DFT and supported by Au-catalyzed cyclization of isolated allenenyl acetate 7, which leads to improved selectivity in the formation of 5. Additionally, the possibility of OAc migration from allenyl acetates was supported by a trapping experiment with styrene that afforded the corresponding cyclopropane derivative. This unprecedented generation of a vinyl metal carbene from an allenyl ester supports a facile enynyl ester/allenenyl ester equilibrium. Further examination of the difference in reactivity between enynyl acetates and their corresponding [3,3]-rearranged allenenyl acetates toward Au- and Pt-catalyzed cycloisomerization is also presented.
Reflections on the electric dyadic Green's function, its singularity, and the potential method (2003)

Summary form only given. A review of contributions made in the area of the electric dyadic Green's function is given. The distributional interpretation of the irrotational component of this dyad, a free space spectral expansion, and results obtained by analytically evaluating the spectral integral through contour integration are reviewed. It is also shown that away from the source one may represent the electric field in terms of the solenoidal vector wave functions alone, but the coefficients of these expansions must be modified to account for the contribution previously due to the irrotational vector wave functions. These results have been extended to spherical and cylindrical coordinates. A discussion of the pros and cons of potential methods versus field dyadic Green's function methods is given. Potential methods have enabled the development of general-purpose codes such as the EIGER (Electromagnetic Interactions Generalized) code. As an illustration some sample results involving slot subcell models and cavity coupling problems are given.
RESEARCH ON FIXED CARBON CONTENT DISTRIBUTION AND MEASURING METHOD OF PASTE SUBJECTED TO CARBONATION CURING (2023)

炭酸化させたペーストの固定二酸化炭素量を計測するために、無機炭素分析機（クーロメーター）を用いた測定手法に関する検討を行った。クーロメーターは使用実績、使用施設が少ないため、試薬を用いた信頼性評価及び供試体を用いた使用方法の検討を併せて行った。その結果、クーロメーターによる炭素の分析では3回試験を行い、平均値を算出すれば誤差±2％に収まることが分かった。さらに、部分炭酸化させたペーストに対してクーロメーター、熱分析、X線回折を使用し、固定二酸化炭素量分布を分析した。その結果、中性化深さ周辺でも最大固定量の約半分の二酸化炭素を固定しており、未中性化領域でも二酸化炭素を固定していることが分かった。
Interaction of verb selectional restrictions, noun animacy and syntactic form in sentence processing (1994)

Abstract We report five experiments that deal with the role of verb selectional restrictions and the animacy of nouns in the construction and interpretation of syntactic structure. In the first two experiments, the effect of the selectional restriction requirements of verbs and the animacy of nouns on sentence comprehension was assessed in a speeded acceptability judgement task. Four sentence types were presented in which syntactic complexity (object vs subject relativisation) and number of propositions were orthogonally varied. Sentences contained verbs that required either animate subjects or animate objects, and unacceptable sentences were created by violating the selectional restriction requirements of the verb in the embedded clause. Analyses of both reaction time and accuracy data showed that there was an interaction between the selectional restriction requirements of verbs (which correlated perfectly with the animacy of nouns in subject or object position), and syntactic form, on these judgments. Experiment 3 was designed to determine whether the interaction found in the first set of studies was due to the selectional restriction requirements of the verbs or the animacy of nouns in particular grammatical positions. Cleft-subject and cleft-object sentences containing verbs that imposed selectional restrictions, in which animacy of nouns was varied, were presented in a speeded acceptability judgement task. The results indicated that the interaction between type of selectional restriction (imposed on the subject vs on the object) and syntactic structure only held for sentences with pairs of nouns that varied in animacy. Experiments 4 and 5 were self-paced reading experiments that were designed to determine where in the course of sentence processing this interaction between the animacy of the nouns in particular grammatical positions and the syntactic form of a sentence occurred. In both experiments, subjects read cleft-object sentences in which the animacy of the matrix noun and the noun in subject position of the relative clause was varied, and the verbs selected for either animate subjects or animate objects. In both experiments, there were no differences in self-paced reading times until the presentation of the verb of the embedded clause, at which point there were significant differences as a function of verb type. These experiments indicate that the selectional restriction requirements of a verb and the animacy of a noun in subject and object positions interact with the syntactic form of a sentence at some stage of the sentence comprehension process. The results are discussed in terms of the architecture of the parser and the issue of the modularity of the sentence comprehension system.
Cylindrical Langmuir probe measurements in an ion thruster plume (1995)

Summary form only given. Cylindrical Langmuir probe measurements have been made in the exhaust plume of a 15 cm diameter three-grid ion thruster. Xenon gas was used as a propellant. The experiments were performed in a large vacuum chamber with background pressure values of 2/spl times/10/sup -4/ Torr and 3/spl times/10/sup -6/ Torr. A 250 um diameter tungsten probe 2.78 mm long was used in the experiments. The axis of the probe was kept approximately parallel to the ion flow direction in order to minimize the probe surface exposed to the ion jet. The probe was referenced to a 1 m/spl times/1 m graphite plate placed 3 m downstream of the thruster and perpendicular to the plume. The graphite plate provided sufficient ion collection for reliable measurement in the electron saturation pan of the probe characteristic curve. Both the Langmuir probe and the reference electrode were electrically isolated with respect to the test chamber and the ion thruster. The probe and the thruster were positioned on perpendicular translation stages which permitted axial and radial displacement of the probe relative to the thruster. The data collected for radial and axial scans were analyzed to provide measurements of electron temperature, plasma potential and electron density. A method of data analysis was developed which includes an estimation of the collected ion current. This method will be compared with a numerical particle simulation model for calculation of the ion current component.
First Inverse Electron-Demand Diels–Alder Methodology of 3-Chloroindoles and Methyl Coumalate to Carbazoles (2014)

The first successful inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder has been demonstrated with the 2-pyrone methyl coumalate in conjunction with substituted indoles. Utilizing 1-alkyl-3-chloroindoles as the electron-rich dienophile efficiently generates carbazoles without the need for additional metal catalysts. Through a thermal, one-pot Diels-Alder/decarboxylation/elimination domino sequence, access to a class of 3-methylcarbazoles is rapidly generated with exclusive regiocontrol in up to 90% yield.
Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> Dot and Antidot Array Synthesis in Hexagonally Packed Poly(styrene-<i>block</i>-methyl methacrylate) Nanometer-Thick Films for Nanostructure Fabrication (2022)

Nanostructured organic templates originating from self-assembled block copolymers (BCPs) can be converted into inorganic nanostructures by sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS). This capability is particularly relevant within the framework of advanced lithographic applications because of the exploitation of the BCP-based nanostructures as hard masks. In this work, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> dot and antidot arrays were synthesized by sequential infiltration of trimethylaluminum and water precursors into perpendicularly oriented cylinder-forming poly(styrene-<i>block</i>-methyl methacrylate) (PS-<i>b</i>-PMMA) BCP thin films. The mechanism governing the effective incorporation of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> into the PMMA component of the BCP thin films was investigated evaluating the evolution of the lateral and vertical dimensions of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> dot and antidot arrays as a function of the SIS cycle number. The not-reactive PS component and the PS/PMMA interface in self-assembled PS-<i>b</i>-PMMA thin films result in additional paths for diffusion and supplementary surfaces for sorption of precursor molecules, respectively. Thus, the mass uptake of Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> into the PMMA block of self-assembled PS-<i>b</i>-PMMA thin films is higher than that in pure PMMA thin films.
NEW PAPER-FREE INSULATION TECHNOLOGY FOR DRY HIGH-VOLTAGE (2013)

A new Resin-Impregnated Synthetics (RIS) paper-free technology of high-voltage, dry, fine-graded condenser bushings is presented. In RIS technology, paper is replaced by polymeric fiber fabric which does not attract nor absorb humidity. The core is directly coated by a silicone insulator. A family of oil-air bushings based on the new RIS technology for voltages from 24kV to 170kV, has been developed and tested. The design tests have proven that the dielectric, thermal and lifetime properties of the RIS bushings surpass or are at least as good as those of the RIP cores. Climatic chamber test has shown that the RIS material absorbs almost no water and that its dielectric loss is not dependent on long exposure to extremely high humidity. This allows for easy transportation, uncritical storage in the period of installation and reliable performance in service. Type tests for the RIS bushings according to IEC and IEEE standards have been passed (however, bushings are not manufactured to the IEEE dimension standards) and first pilot installations have been agreed with electrical utilities for which the bushings have been commissioned in 2011. The developed family of RIS bushings covers oilair bushings but the technology can be used for other fields of applications also.

A Wideband Low RMS Phase/Gain Error mm-Wave Phase Shifter in 22-nm CMOS FDSOI (2023)

A 5-bit low-power and compact active mm-wave phase shifter (PS) with low rms phase/gain error is implemented in 22-nm CMOS fully depleted silicon on insulator (FDSOI) technology for 5G multi-input multi-output (MIMO) phased arrays. The proposed phase shifter uses a gain-boosted two-stage <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$RC$ </tex-math></inline-formula> poly-phase filter (PPF), which maintains reasonable phase accuracy features while compensating for the gain response. The system uses a reactance invariant cascode vector modulator (VM), which results in constant loading effect for quadrature network, therefore improving rms phase/gain error. The phase shifter shows measured rms phase error of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$&lt; 4^{\circ }$ </tex-math></inline-formula> at 24–36 GHz. The measured mean gain is from −8.2 to −5 dB at 24–36 GHz, and the rms gain error is < 0.6 dB at 24–36 GHz. The total power consumption of the proposed phase shifter is 7.2 mW, and the chip area is <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$612\times 953\,\,\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> including pads.
A new species of<i>Redudasys</i>(Gastrotricha: Macrodasyida: Redudasyidae) from the United States (2017)

A new species of Redudasys (Macrodasyida: Redudasyidae) is described from Texas and Oregon, U.S.A. A single Texas specimen was reported (but not formally described and named) in 2014 from an artesian outflow in Spring Lake, San Marcos, Texas. The Texas specimen provided the first record of Redudasys from outside Brazil. Fifteen specimens were found and studied in 2015 and 2016 from sand pockets among boulders in the Little Nestucca River, near Pacific City, Oregon. Redudasys neotemperatus n. sp. is morphologically and genetically distinguishable from Redudasys fornerise Kisielewski, 1987a, the only formally described species in the genus up until now, and morphologically distinguishable from “Redudasys sp.”, an unnamed form reported by Garraffoni et al. in 2010 without genetic information. The Texas and Oregon specimens agree well morphologically and genetically.
249 * SHOCK WAVE TREATMENT REDUCES NEURONAL DEGENERATION UPON SPINAL CORD ISCHAEMIA AFTER AORTIC CROSS CLAMP (2014)

Objectives: Paraplegia following spinal cord ischaemia represents the most severe complication of aortic surgery. Shock wave treatment (SWT) was shown to induce angiogenesis and regeneration in ischaemic tissue. In pre-clinical as well as clinical studies SWT had a favourable effect on ischaemic myocardium. We therefore hypothesised that SWT may have a beneficial effect on spinal cord ischaemia as well. Methods: Aortic cross clamp was performed between left carotid and subclavian artery in 10–12-week-old male C57/Bl6 mice. Animals were randomly divided to treatment group (SWT, 500 impulses at 0.1 mJ/mm2, 5 Hz) and untreated controls (CTR), n = 6. RNA expression of angiogenic and inflammatory cytokines was measured after 24 and 48 h. Immunofluorescence staining for degenerating neurons (Fluoro Jade B) and macrophages (Iba-1) was performed after 7 days. Results: Real-time PCR analysis revealed higher gene expression of angiogenic factors, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) after 24 h (SWT 0.21 ± 0.06 vs CTR 0.07 ± 0.01, P = 0.028) and 48 h (SWT 0.11 ± 0.02 vs CTR 0.07 ± 0.01, P > 0.05) as well as hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) after 24 h (SWT 0.11 ± 0.04 vs CTR 0.04 ± 0.01, P > 0.05) and 48 h (SWT 0.09 ± 0.02 vs CTR 0.01 ± 0, P = 0.016). Early increase of inflammatory mRNA expression was observed after 24 h by TNF-α (SWT 0.03 ± 0.003 vs CTR 0.005 ± 0.003, P = 0.007) and TGF-β (SWT 0.57 ± 0.05 vs CTR 0.17 ± 0.08, P = 0.003). This resulted in a markedly decreased number of degenerating neurons in the treatment group 7 days after ischaemia (SWT 74.50 ± 8.14 vs CTR 250.2 ± 42.98, P = 0.0025). Conclusion: Shock wave treatment results in a marked decrease of degenerating neurons and may therefore develop as an adjunct to the treatment armamentarium for paraplegia upon aortic cross clamp.
