Physical and electrochemical characterizations of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐<i>co</i>‐hexafluoropropylene)/SiO<sub>2</sub>‐based polymer electrolytes prepared by the phase‐inversion technique (2006)

Abstract Highly porous poly(vinylidene fluoride‐ co ‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF–HFP)‐based polymer membranes filled with fumed silica (SiO 2 ) were prepared by a phase‐inversion technique, and films were also cast by a conventional casting method for comparison. N ‐Methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone as a solvent was used to dissolve the polymer and to make the slurry with SiO 2 . Phase inversion occurred just after the impregnation of the applied slurry on a glass plate into flowing water as a nonsolvent, and then a highly porous structure developed by mutual diffusion between the solvent and nonsolvent components. The PVdF–HFP/SiO 2 cast films and phase‐inversion membranes were then characterized by an examination of the morphology, thermal and crystalline properties, absorption ability of an electrolyte solution, ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, and interfacial resistance with a lithium electrode. LiPF 6 (1 M ) dissolved in a liquid mixture of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (1:1 w/w) was used as the electrolyte solution. Through these characterizations, the phase‐inversion polymer electrolytes were proved to be superior to the cast‐film electrolytes for application to rechargeable lithium batteries. In particular, phase‐inversion PVdF–HFP/SiO 2 (30–40 wt %) electrolytes could be recommended to have optimum properties for the application. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

SemCast: Semantic Multicast for Content-Based Data Dissemination (2005)

We address the problem of content-based dissemination of highly-distributed, high-volume data streams for stream-based monitoring applications and large-scale data delivery. Existing content-based dissemination approaches commonly rely on distributed filtering trees that require filtering at all brokers on the tree. We present a new semantic multicast approach that eliminates the need for content-based filtering at interior brokers and facilitates fine-grained control over the construction of efficient dissemination trees. The central idea is to split the incoming data streams (based on their contents, rates, and destinations) and then spread the pieces across multiple channels, each of which is implemented as an independent dissemination tree. We present the basic design and evaluation of SemCast, an overlay-network based system that implements this semantic multicast approach. Through a detailed simulation study and realistic network topologies, we demonstrate that SemCast significantly improves the efficiency of dissemination compared to traditional approaches.
Systematic Position and Phylogeny (2002)

Nematodes are colloquially referred to as roundworms but this is rarely reflected in their gross appearance and refers mainly to their shape in cross section. The complete worms are often thread-like, cylindrical, generally fusiform, more rarely sac-like (e.g. female Tetrameres and Meloidogyne). They vary in length from microscopic (e.g. the females of Aphelenchoides bicaudatus which only reach up to 0.47 mm long) to several metres in length (e.g. the females of Placentonema gigantissima which have been recorded as over 8 metres long). The body is covered with a cuticle which may or may not exhibit any number of variations of complex ridges, spines or hooks. The body has no internal segmentation and beneath the cuticle the wall is composed of an epidermis (hypodermis) and a single layer of muscle cells.
Increased intestinal permeability in obese mice: new evidence in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (2006)

A small percentage of pathologically obese subjects with fatty livers develop histological signs of necroinflammation and fibrosis, suggesting a variety of cofactors in the pathogenesis of obesity-related liver diseases including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Since several observations have linked bacterial endotoxins to liver damage, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of obesity on intestinal mucosal integrity and portal blood endotoxemia in two strains of obese mice: leptin-deficient (ob/ob) and hyperleptinemic (db/db) mice. Murine intestinal mucosal barrier function was assessed using a Ussing chamber, whereas ileum tight junction proteins were analyzed by immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis. Circulating proinflammatory cytokines and portal blood endotoxin levels were measured by ELISA and the limulus test, respectively. The inflammatory and fibrogenic phenotype of murine hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) was determined by ELISA and quantitative RT-PCR. Ob/ob and db/db mice showed lower intestinal resistance, profoundly modified distribution of occludin and zonula occludens-1 in the intestinal mucosa, and higher circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines and portal endotoxemia compared with lean control mice. Moreover, HSCs isolated from ob/ob and db/db mice showed higher membrane CD14 mRNA levels and more pronounced lipopolysaccharide-induced proinflammatory and fibrogenic responses than HSCs from lean animals. In conclusion, genetically obese mice display enhanced intestinal permeability leading to increased portal endotoxemia that makes HSCs more sensitive to bacterial endotoxins. We suggest that in metabolic syndrome, patients may likewise have a greater intestinal mucosa permeability and increased lipopolysaccharide levels in portal blood that can contribute to the liver inflammatory damage.

Low-complexity decoders for non-binary turbo codes (2018)

Following the increasing interest in non-binary coding schemes, turbo codes over different Galois fields have started to be considered recently. While showing improved performance when compared to their binary counterparts, the decoding complexity of this family of codes remains a main obstacle to their adoption in practical applications. In this work, a new low-complexity variant of the Min-Log-MAP algorithm is proposed. Thanks to the introduction of a bubble sorter for the different metrics used in the Min-Log-MAP decoder, the number of required computations is significantly reduced. A reduction by a factor of 6 in the number of additions and compare-select operations can be achieved with only a minor impact on error rate performance. With the use of an appropriate quantization, the resulting decoder paves the way for a future hardware implementation.
Gas insulated switchgear developed to meet increased load demand in Los Angeles Basin (2010)

Southern California Edison (SCE) energized the Rancho Vista gas insulated substation (GIS) on May 29, 2009. The substation uses a breaker-and-a-half scheme rated 63 kA at 550 kV and 80 kA at 245kV. The main buses at each voltage are rated 7,500 A continuous. The 500/230 kV substation was built to satisfy rapid load growth and increased reliability requirements for the northeastern Los Angeles Basin.
A Novel Facile Method of Labeling Octreotide with <sup>18</sup>F-Fluorine (2010)

NOTA-octreotide could be labeled rapidly and efficiently with (18)F using a 2-step, 1-pot method. The compound was stable in vivo and showed rapid accretion in somatostatin receptor subtype 2-expressing AR42J tumors in nude mice. This method can be used to label other NOTA-conjugated compounds with (18)F.
Rate of discontinuation and drug survival of biologic therapies in rheumatoid arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of drug registries and health care databases (2015)

In RA, treatment with etanercept has a lower percentage of discontinuation than infliximab and adalimumab. Concomitant use of DMARDs, disease duration before treatment with a biologic and female sex predict time to discontinuation.
Nitric Oxide and Carotid Body Chemoreception: Multiple Target Sites (2003)

The carotid body (CB) is the main arterial chemoreceptor organ, which senses the partial pressure of blood gases and pH, and contributes to the respiratory and cardiovascular reflex regulation. Hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidosis increase the frequency of carotid chemosensory discharges in the carotid sinus nerve, while hyperoxia, hypocapnia, and alkalosis decreases it (1,2). The current model of carotid chemoreception proposes that glomus (type I) cells are the primary sites for chemical transduction. In response to natural stimuli, glomus cells are expected to release, in a Ca2+-dependent manner, oneor more-excitatory transmitter(s), which in turn increases the frequency of discharges in nerve terminals of chemosensory petrosal neurons. Among several molecules present in the CB, dopamine, acetylcholine, substance P, and adenosine nucleotides have been proposed as excitatory transmitters in the junctions between glomus cell and nerve terminals (1,2). However, in addition to the excitatory transmitters, others molecules produced within the CB may regulate the chemosensory process. In the last decade, the proposition that the gaseous molecule nitric oxide (NO) is a tonic inhibitory modulator of carotid chemoreceptor activity has received great attention (3-7).
Dynamic Characterization of Fiber Optical Chirped Pulse Amplification for Sub-ps Pulses (2013)

We investigate experimentally the propagation of sub-picosecond pulses in fiber optical parametric chirped pulse amplifiers, showing a significant broadening of the pulses from 450 fs up to 720 fs due to dispersion and self-phase modulation.
Wavelength-resonant surface-emitting semiconductor laser (2023)

A wavelength resonant semiconductor gain medium is disclosed. The essential feature of this medium is a multiplicity of quantum-well gain regions separated by semiconductor spacer regions of higher bandgap. Each period of this medium consisting of one quantum-well region and the adjacent spacer region is chosen such that the total width is equal to an integral multiple of 1/2 the wavelength in the medium of the radiation with which the medium is interacting. Optical, electron-beam and electrical injection pumping of the medium is disclosed. This medium may be used as a laser medium for single devices or arrays either with or without reflectors, which may be either semiconductor or external.
Lineage does not regulate the connectivity of projection neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb (2019)

Abstract Lineage regulates the synaptic connections between neurons in some regions of the invertebrate nervous system. In mammals recent experiments suggest that cell lineage determines the connectivity of pyramidal neurons in the neocortex, but the functional relevance of this phenomenon and whether it occurs in other neuronal types remains controversial. We investigated whether lineage plays a role in the connectivity of mitral and tufted cells, the projection neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb. We used transgenic mice to label neuronal progenitors sparsely and observed that clonally related neurons receive synaptic input from olfactory sensory neurons expressing different olfactory receptors. These results indicate that lineage does not determine the connectivity between olfactory sensory neurons and olfactory bulb projection neurons.
Molecular Characteristics of IgA in Infant Saliva (1989)

Saliva was collected from 57 infants aged 6 weeks to 2.5 years and the molecular form of IgA was studied by centrifugation on sucrose density gradients. Two distinct populations were identified. Seventy-two per cent of the children had secretory IgA in their salivary secretions, while 28% had a molecular form corresponding to monomeric IgA. No samples with concurrent monomeric and secretory forms were detected. Monomeric IgA was not detected in any infant over 12 months of age. Secretory component was detected in all samples but was not associated with monomeric IgA. Forty-seven per cent of the samples contained IgA fragments of approximately 40,600 molecular weight. The presence of fragments dominated in the group of children with monomeric IgA. The presence of monomeric IgA in infant saliva did not result from degradation due to storage or proteolysis. The study demonstrated an apparent maturation sequence in the molecular form of IgA present in the salivary secretions of infants.
Preparation of W/O Emulsion by Membrane Emulsification and Optimum Conditions for Its Monodispersion. (2002)

筆者らは，先に，細孔径の均一な多孔膜を用いてO/Wエマルションを調製する新しい乳化技術「膜乳化法」を提案し，単分散O/Wエマルションの調製と単分散化に及ぼす界面活性剤の影響について報告した．それによれば，膜細孔の均一性に加え，膜の表面が分散相の油相よりも連続相の水相に対して優先的に濡れることが単分散化の必須条件であった．本報では，同法をW/Oエマルションの調製に適用し，単分散W/Oエマルション生成の至適条件を明らかにした．その結果，O/Wエマルションの場合と同様に，W/Oエマルション調製においても濡れの問題が重要であり，膜は分散相の水相よりも連続相の油相に対して優先的に濡れることが必要であった．また，分散水相に浸透圧を付与することが，円滑な単分散膜乳化に欠かせない条件であった．

Optische Schnittstellen (2019)

Summary Optical interfaces: Viewing into the vacuum The requirements concerning in‐vacuum process diagnostics are more and more challenging. On the one hand, the setup itself has to be decoupled from the process to avoid any external impact on the process. On the other hand, the process parameters have to be in‐situ characterized and controlled by an in‐vacuum monitoring system. In the vicinity of these two contradictive requirements optical fiber applications gain more and more impact, since optical fibers cover several advantages: high transmission signal, inherent immunity against external electromagnetic forces, high durability and high mechanical as well as optical flexibility. The focus of the contribution is a new in‐vacuum optical temperature sensor combined with high‐temperature fiber optical feedthroughs. The sensor based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) in the optical fiber, which are extremely sensitive to temperature variations. In a first case study, the application of FBG with the feedthrough as an in‐vacuum optical temperature sensor is demonstrated. Thus an optical fiber containing a bunch of several FBG becomes a compact, robust, and flexible in‐vacuum network of local temperature sensors. Each individual sensor captures temperature variations over a signal path that is several km long with a remarkable accuracy up to 0.1 K and with speed of light.
Autonomous Agents Research in Robotics: A Report from the Trenches (2012)

This paper surveys research in robotics in the AAMAS (Au- tonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems) community. It argues that the autonomous agents community can, and has, impact on robotics. Moreover, it argues that agents re- searchers should proactively seek to impact the robotics com- munity, to prevent independent re-discovery of known results, and to benefit autonomous agents science. To support these claims, I provide evidence from my own research into multi- robot teams, and from others’.
Not all acid sites are created equal: Alkene isomerization and dimerization occur on separate sites on Amberlyst®15 catalyst (2020)

Abstract Linear 1‐alkenes undergo concurrent dimerization and double bond isomerization on the solid acid catalyst Amberlyst®15. Kinetic data show that double bond isomerization occurs on a site where the alkene adsorption coefficient is small, whereas alkene dimerization occurs on a site where the alkene adsorption coefficient is large. The fraction of isomerization sites occupied by alkene is small, whereas the dimerization sites are practically saturated with alkene. Logically, two different types of acid sites must exist on the surface of Amberlyst®15 catalyst. On the dimerization sites, substantial skeletal rearrangement occurs, likely via rapidly isomerizing carbenium ions, π‐complexes, and/or protonated cyclopropyl intermediates.

On the feasibility of nanocrystal imaging using intense and ultrashort 1.5 {\AA} X-ray pulses (2010)

Structural studies of biological macromolecules are severely limited by radiation damage. Traditional crystallography curbs the effects of damage by spreading damage over many copies of the molecule of interest. X-ray lasers, such as the recently built LINAC Coherent Light Source (LCLS), offer an additional opportunity for limiting damage by out-running damage processes with ultrashort and very intense X-ray pulses. Such pulses may allow the imaging of single molecules, clusters or nanoparticles, but coherent flash imaging will also open up new avenues for structural studies on nano- and micro-crystalline substances. This paper addresses the theoretical potentials and limitations of nanocrystallography with extremely intense coherent X-ray pulses. We use urea nanocrystals as a model for generic biological substances and simulate primary and secondary ionization dynamics in the crystalline sample. Our results establish conditions for ultrafast nanocrystallography diffraction experiments as a function of fluence and pulse duration.
Outcome of Patients with Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) Relapsing after an Autologous Stem-Cell Transplant (ASCT) (2023)

Disseminated coccidioidomycosis is a rare cause of flexor tendon tenosynovitis, particularly in the pediatric population. We present the case of a 2-month-old male infant with disseminated coccidioidomycosis of the right index finger, which was initially treated with debridement and long-term antifungal therapy. Six months after discontinuing antifungal medications and at the age of 2 years, the patient presented with relapse of coccidioidomycosis of his right index finger. Serial debridement and long-term antifungal therapy resulted in disease quiescence. The relapse of pediatric coccidioidomycosis tenosynovitis using surgical management with accompanying magnetic resonance imaging, histopathology, and intraoperative findings is described herein. Coccidioidomycosis should be considered for the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients who have traveled to or live in endemic areas and present with indolent hand infections.

To address the problems a dental patient robot that operates in a similar manner to an actual patient was developed. The number of patients who fall ill during the treatment. Therefore, their knowledge is only knowledge acquired through books. They do not work through or they do not what to do when they see it. It is a study that develops a mechanism to reproduce the change of a body temperature and SpO2 of a patient during the treatment.
Highly Directive Biconic Antennas Embedded in a Dielectric (2020)

Designing antennas suitable for generating highly directive electromagnetic signals has become a fundamental task. This is particularly relevant for the development of efficient and sustainable point-to-point communication channels, and for energy transfer. Indeed, these are nowadays expanding areas of research. In order to deal with said particular wave phenomena, an extension of the electrodynamics equations is taken into account, where exact solitonic type solutions are admitted. These waves may have compact support and travel along a straight line, without dissipation, at the speed of light. The result suggests the design of biconic type antennas having specific properties that are numerically examined in this paper. The cones, supplied with an oscillating source, are embedded in a dielectric material of suitable shape, with the purpose of driving the signal in the proper direction. The computations based on the extended model are aimed toward simulating the possibility of generating peculiar wave behaviors, in view of practical implementations in the framework of point-to-point communications or wireless power transmission.
Polypyrrole polymerized in polyethylene oxide: linear actuation in organic and aqueous electrolytes (2018)

Embedding polyethylene oxide (PEO) in polypyrrole doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonate (PPy/PEO-DBS) leads to increase linear actuation due to improved ionic conductivity. In this research our goal is to investigate the effect of solvent exchange from aqueous (aq) to propylene carbonate (PC) using same concentration of electrolyte bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonamide lithium (LiTFSI). As previously observed for the case of PPy/DBS films, the actuation direction of PPy/PEO-DBS changed from purely cation-driven in (aqueous) LiTFSI-aq to purely anion driven in (propylene carbonate) LiTFSI-PC. Cyclic voltammetry driven electro-chemo-mechanical-deformation (ECMD) measurements showed that the strain in LiTFSI-PC was more than double than that of aqueous electrolyte consuming only half of the charge density. The diffusion coefficients were determined from the chronoamperometric measurements with higher values found in LiTFSI-PC. Energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy and scanning electronic microscopy measurements were performed to characterize the PPy/PEO-DBS films.

Magnetic material comparisons for high-current gapped and gapless foil wound inductors in high frequency dc-dc converters (2008)

The inductor often drives the dc-dc converter size. Thus, the inductor optimization process is required for the most effective design. The paper presents inductor analysis only. The material properties are essential for the design size. In this paper, various magnetic materials are analysed and investigated for use in a practical design. The investigation is concerned with the magnetic material selection for a dc-dc power inductor in the medium (20 kHz) to high (150kHz) frequency range. The materials under investigation are iron-based amorphous metal, silicon steel, nanocrystalline, ferrite, and gap-less powder materials. A lumped parameter algorithm is derived which includes such effects as the foil ac copper loss effects, the gap core loss, and the cooling path. The algorithm is implemented in EXCEL and generates material comparisons over a range of frequencies, ripple ratios, cooling paths. The results show that the core power loss limited inductor tends to be oversized while the minimum size is achieved for the design which is at the sweet-spot where the size is driven by the core power loss, winding power loss and core saturation limit. A 1.25 kW half-bridge dc-dc converter is built in order to proof the algorithm feasibility at the interest frequency range.
