Teaching Digital Design to Computing Science Students in a Single Academic Term (2005)

How should digital design be taught to computing science students in a single one-semester course? This work advocates the use of state-of-the-art design tools and programmable devices and presents a series of laboratory exercises to help students learn digital logic. Each exercise introduces new concepts and produces the complete design of a stand-alone apparatus that is fun and interesting to use. These exercises lead to the most challenging capstone designs for a single-semester course of which the authors are aware. Fast progress is made possible by providing students with predesigned input/output modules. Student feedback demonstrates that the students approve of this methodology. An extensive set of slides, supporting teaching material, and laboratory exercises are freely available for downloading.
KissGlass (2020)

Cheek kissing is a common greeting in many countries around the world. Many parameters are involved when performing the kiss, such as which side to begin the kiss on and how many times the kiss is performed. These parameters can be used to infer one's social and physical context. In this paper, we present KissGlass, a system that leverages off-the-shelf smart glasses to recognize different kinds of cheek kissing gestures. Using a dataset we collected with 5 participants performing 10 gestures, our system obtains 83.0% accuracy in 10-fold cross validation and 74.33% accuracy in a leave-one-user-out user independent evaluation.

Advances toward molecular-scale electronic digital logic circuits: a review and prospectus (2003)

Molecules can be made precisely, identically, and cheaply in enormous numbers. Moreover, during the past several years there has been great progress in the development and the demonstration of such "molecular electronic" devices, individual molecules that conduct and switch electrical currents. The paper reviews and explains the recent experimental results that are establishing a foundation for building tiny powerful computational and control systems integrated on the molecular scale. Further, the author describes research at The MITRE Corporation that is building upon these experimental results to propose detailed designs for molecular electronic digital logic circuits and functions.
A Field Trial on Smart Mobility (2012)

In view of services such as road pricing for passenger cars, we devised an innovative and versatile technological solution that can aid in solving some of the mobility problems. In it, each vehicle was equipped with an on-board unit, that transmitted their locations in real-time to a map-matching back-end server. The current cost per kilometre, differentiated between location, time, and vehicle type, and was then sent back such that each driver instantly knew the current cost of the trip. Based on this smart technology, we then organised an experiment that researched human behaviour and responses to an example service, i.e., road pricing stimuli within a large geographic region. As a result, road users adapted their behaviour, resulting in a lower overall cost. As a side effect, the experiment provided a solution to drive and support the city's mobility objectives.
Engineered Glucose Oxidase Capable of Quasi-Direct Electron Transfer after a Quick-and-Easy Modification with a Mediator (2020)

Glucose oxidase (GOx) has been widely utilized for monitoring glycemic levels due to its availability, high activity, and specificity toward glucose. Among the three generations of electrochemical glucose sensor principles, direct electron transfer (DET)-based third-generation sensors are considered the ideal principle since the measurements can be carried out in the absence of a free redox mediator in the solution without the impact of oxygen and at a low enough potential for amperometric measurement to avoid the effect of electrochemically active interferences. However, natural GOx is not capable of DET. Therefore, a simple and rapid strategy to create DET-capable GOx is desired. In this study, we designed engineered GOx, which was made readily available for single-step modification with a redox mediator (phenazine ethosulfate, PES) on its surface via a lysine residue rationally introduced into the enzyme. Thus, PES-modified engineered GOx showed a quasi-DET response upon the addition of glucose. This strategy and the obtained results will contribute to the further development of quasi-DET GOx-based glucose monitoring dedicated to precise and accurate glycemic control for diabetic patient care.
The evaluation of fast purification methods for preparing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products for capillary electrophoresis analysis. (1996)

The analysis of crude polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is often compromised by the presence of a high concentration of salt. Salt interferes with the electrokinetic injection and induces localized heating within the column, hence, PCR products must be desalted or cleaned-up prior to CE analysis. A variety of commercial clean-up systems are available that have been traditionally used to prepare PCR products for cloning, sequencing, and digestion with restriction enzymes. These systems were tested for their effectiveness in preparing PCR products for CE analysis and were evaluated based on CE resolution, salt removal, DNA recovery, processing time, and cost.
FarmBeats: Improving Farm Productivity Using Data-Driven Agriculture (2019)

FarmBeats is an end-to-end AI and IoT system for agriculture that helps address these challenges and enable precision agriculture techniques. In particular, FarmBeats gathers data from sensors, cameras, and drones, to produce actionable insights for farmers. Moreover, it can extend Internet coverage to the farm and is resilient towards weather related outages or power variability. Thus far the FarmBeats system has been deployed worldwide, including locations in the United States, India, Africa, and China to name a few. FarmBeats is being used for a variety of agriculture applications such as storage monitoring, generating precision sensor maps of crop fields, animal monitoring, and much more. To get a better understanding of what all FarmBeats encompasses we explain the main components of the system and provide a case study of a FarmBeats deployment on Nelson farm in Spokane, WA.
Cross‐resistance to purified Bt proteins, Bt corn and Bt cotton in a Cry2Ab2‐corn resistant strain of Spodoptera frugiperda (2017)

These findings suggest that Cry2Ab2-corn-selected S. frugiperda is not cross-resistant to Cry1F, Cry1A.105 or Vip3A protein, or corn and cotton plants containing these Bt proteins, but it can cause strong cross-resistance to Cry2Ae and Bt crops expressing similar Bt proteins. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
Identification and functional characterization of polymorphisms in human cyclooxygenase-1 (PTGS1) (2007)

Our findings demonstrate that several genetic variants in human COX-1 significantly alter basal COX-1-mediated arachidonic acid metabolism and indomethacin-mediated inhibition of COX-1 activity in vitro. Future studies characterizing the functional impact of these variants in vivo are warranted.
The life cycle of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in neurons: an update on the trafficking of neuronal calcium channels (2021)

Neuronal voltage-gated Ca<sup>2+</sup> (Ca<sub>V</sub>) channels play a critical role in cellular excitability, synaptic transmission, excitation-transcription coupling and activation of intracellular signaling pathways. Ca<sub>V</sub> channels are multiprotein complexes and their functional expression in the plasma membrane involves finely tuned mechanisms, including forward trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane, endocytosis and recycling. Whether genetic or acquired, alterations and defects in the trafficking of neuronal Ca<sub>V</sub> channels can have severe physiological consequences. In this review, we address the current evidence concerning the regulatory mechanisms which underlie precise control of neuronal Ca<sub>V</sub> channel trafficking and we discuss their potential as therapeutic targets.

Formation of Highly Ordered Nanostructures by Drying Micrometer Colloidal Droplets (2010)

Nanoparticles with well-defined chemical compositions can act as building blocks for the construction of functional structures, such as highly ordered aggregates, as well as porous and hollow aggregates. In this work, a spray-drying technique is used to form a crystal-like structure with nanoparticle building blocks. When spray-drying uniform spherical particles, tightly packed aggregates with either simple or broken symmetries (quasicrystalline) were formed. Using polystyrene (PS) particles with varied zeta potentials as templates, it is also possible to form highly ordered porous and hollow aggregates from inorganic colloidal particles. Essential to the production of quasicrystalline structures is the use of monodisperse colloidal particles in spray drying, as the quasicrystalline form is not achievable when two different sizes of colloidal particles are used in the precursor suspension. With varying colloidal particles sizes, smaller colloidal particles fill the spaces formed between the larger particles, resulting in adjustment of colloidal crystallization. A geometric model that considers the tight packing of several spheres into frustrated clusters (quasicrystal form) with short-range icosahedral symmetry is compared to experimentally produced structures and found to quantitatively explain experimental observations.
Molecular Cloning and Sequence Analysis of the Genome of Chicken Anaemia Agent (1991)

The replicative form (RF) DNA of chicken anaemia agent (CAA) was isolated and cloned into bacterial plasmids. After religation of the cloned CAA DNA and transfection into MDCC-MSB1 cells, the DNA could induce c.p.e. characteristic of that caused by CAA, and an antigen was produced which gave positive immunofluorescence when detected with an anti-CAA serum. Sanger sequencing of the 2298 bp genome revealed several open reading frames (ORFs); the major ORF encoded a polypeptide of 51.8K. In SDS-PAGE of CAA viral particles a 50K protein has been reported as the only detectable viral protein. The genomic region downstream of the major ORF had several predicted GC-rich inverted repeats, a poly(A) signal and four copies of an 18 bp repeat element. Database searches did not reveal any sequence with homology to the viral genomic DNA, nor to the amino acid sequence of any of the ORFs, apart from the N-terminal 40 amino acids of the major ORF which showed a limited similarity to the structure of protamines.

Structure-In Vitro Activity Relationships of Pentamidine Analogues and Dication-Substituted Bis-Benzimidazoles as New Antifungal Agents (2020)

Twenty analogues of pentamidine, 7 primary metabolites of pentamidine, and 30 dicationic substituted bis-benzimidazoles were screened for their inhibitory and fungicidal activities against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. A majority of the compounds had MICs at which 80% of the strains were inhibited (MIC80s) comparable to those of amphotericin B and fluconazole. Unlike fluconazole, many of these compounds were found to have potent fungicidal activity. The most potent compound against C. albicans had an MIC80 of ≤0.09 μg/ml, and the most potent compound against C. neoformans had an MIC80 of 0.19 μg/ml. Selected compounds were also found to be active against Aspergillus fumigatus, Fusarium solani, Candida species other than C. albicans, and fluconazole-resistant strains of C. albicans and C. neoformans. It is clear from the data presented here that further studies on the structure-activity relationships, mechanisms of action and toxicities, and in vivo efficacies of these compounds are warranted to determine their clinical potential.

Measurement of the Ratio of the B0→D*−τ+ντ and B0→D*−μ+νμ Branching Fractions Using Three-Prong τ-Lepton Decays (2018)

The ratio of branching fractions R(D^{*-})≡B(B^{0}→D^{*-}τ^{+}ν_{τ})/B(B^{0}→D^{*-}μ^{+}ν_{μ}) is measured using a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^{-1}. For the first time, R(D^{*-}) is determined using the τ-lepton decays with three charged pions in the final state. The B^{0}→D^{*-}τ^{+}ν_{τ} yield is normalized to that of the B^{0}→D^{*-}π^{+}π^{-}π^{+} mode, providing a measurement of B(B^{0}→D^{*-}τ^{+}ν_{τ})/B(B^{0}→D^{*-}π^{+}π^{-}π^{+})=1.97±0.13±0.18, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The value of B(B^{0}→D^{*-}τ^{+}ν_{τ})=(1.42±0.094±0.129±0.054)% is obtained, where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the branching fraction of the normalization mode. Using the well-measured branching fraction of the B^{0}→D^{*-}μ^{+}ν_{μ} decay, a value of R(D^{*-})=0.291±0.019±0.026±0.013 is established, where the third uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the branching fractions of the normalization and B^{0}→D^{*-}μ^{+}ν_{μ} modes. This measurement is in agreement with the standard model prediction and with previous results.
Very-Low-Temperature Epitaxial Silicon Growth By Low-Kinetic-Energy Particle Bombardment (1988)

Low-kinetic-energy Ar ions have been utilized to control the kinetics of thin film growth as well as to perform very effective predeposition substrate surface cleaning. As a result, epitaxial silicon layers with a perfect crystallinity are grown on silicon substrates at a temperature as low as 350°C. The resistivity of an as-grown epitaxial silicon film as low as 0.0018 Ωcm has been obtained, showing the impurity activation without any heat treatment. A p-n junction formed by growing an n-type epitaxial silicon layer directly on a p-type substrate at 350°C exhibited a low reverse current of 1.88×10 -9 A/cm 2 at a reverse bias of 5 V.
A 70 nm 16 Gb 16-Level-Cell NAND flash Memory (2008)

A 16 Gb 16-level-cell (16LC) NAND flash memory using 70 nm design rule has been developed . This 16LC NAND flash memory can store 4 bits in a cell which enabled double bit density comparing to 4-level-cell (4LC) NAND flash, and quadruple bit density comparing to single-bit (SLC) NAND flash memory with the same design rule. New programming method suppresses the floating gate coupling effect and enabled the narrow distribution for 16LC. The cache-program function can be achievable without any additional latches. Optimization of programming sequence achieves 0.62 MB/s programming throughput. This 16-level NAND flash memory technology reduces the cost per bit and improves the memory density even more.
Channel Estimation with Simultaneous Reflecting and Sensing Reconfigurable Intelligent Metasurfaces (2021)

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs) are envisioned to play a key role in future wireless communications, enabling programmable radio propagation environments. They are usually considered as nearly passive planar structures that operate as adjustable reflectors, giving rise to a multitude of implementation challenges, including an inherent difficulty in estimating the underlying wireless channels. In this paper, we propose the concept of Hybrid RISs (HRISs), which do not solely reflect the impinging waveform in a controllable fashion, but are also capable of sensing and processing a portion of it via some active reception elements. We first present implementation details for this novel metasurface architecture and propose a simple model for its operation, when considered for wireless communications. As an indicative application of HRISs, we formulate and solve the individual channels identification problem for the uplink of multi-user HRIS-empowered systems. Our numerical results showcase that, in the high signal-to-noise regime, HRISs enable individual channel estimation with notably reduced amounts of pilots, compared to those needed when using a purely reflective RIS that can only estimate the cascaded channel.
Study about Recycling for UV Cured Prints (2016)

洋紙の需要減による国内の古紙発生量の減少，並びに中国や東南アジア地域への古紙輸出増加により，再生紙の原料となる古紙は不足している。一方，印刷技術の発展により印刷物は多様化が進んでおり，特にUV照射によりインキを硬化させるUVインキ印刷は，環境問題（溶剤フリー）や短納期化への対応等の観点から，商業印刷の分野でも普及しはじめている。今回，各種上物系古紙サンプルについて，ダートの発生しやすさ（リサイクル性）をラボ高濃度離解機及びPFIミルを用いて評価した結果，従来UVインキ印刷物のほか，UVニスやポリスチレンのオーバーコート品のリサイクル性が大きく劣っていることを確認した。省エネUVインキ印刷物は従来UVインキ印刷物に比べリサイクル性は良好であったが，印刷時のUV照射条件に大きく影響されることがわかった。また，これら印刷物について，印刷面のIRスペクトルの違いに着目し，従来法よりも精度よくリサイクル性を予測できるATR―IRを用いた簡易判別法を開発した。この方法により，工場で古紙ベールに含まれる印刷物のリサイクル性を効率よく判別できることから，脱墨パルプ製造時のダート低減，品質向上につながると期待される。UVインキ印刷物を含めた各種古紙のリサイクル率向上に向け，業界を挙げて技術開発に取り組んでいくことが，今後ますます重要になると考えられる。
Phenotypic psychiatric characterization of children with Williams syndrome and response of those with ADHD to methylphenidate treatment (2011)

Williams syndrome (WS) is associated with cognitive deficits, special behavioral phenotype, and high rates of psychiatric disorders. The aims of the present study were: (1) To compare the rates of psychiatric disorders and repetitive behaviors in children with WS to children with idiopathic developmental disability (DDs); (2) To longitudinally assess the change in psychiatric disorders during adolescence in WS; (3) To assess retrospectively the effectiveness and safety of methylphenidate (MPH) treatment in WS children with ADHD. The study consisted of a cohort of 38 children and adolescents (age 13.1 ± 5.2 years) with WS and a sample of age-matched DDs (age 15.0 ± 3.1 years). A current follow-up evaluation was conducted after 5.6 ± 1.6 years for 25 subjects (65.8%) of the WS cohort. The rate of most psychiatric disorders was found similar in children with WS and DD controls. Specific phobia, especially from noises, obsessive-compulsive symptoms (e.g., aggressive obsessions and repetitive questions), and stereotypic behaviors (e.g., glancing), were more common in WS than DDs. In a longitudinal follow-up of the WS children, we found a decrease in the rate of anxiety disorders. In addition, a clinically significant improvement was reported in 72.2% of WS children with ADHD following MPH treatment. Sadness/unhappiness was the most common side effect associated with MPH treatment in WS, occurring in 2/3 of treated individuals. The present study further elucidates the neuropsychiatric phenotype of WS. Our results also suggest that MPH treatment for ADHD in WS warrants future prospective controlled trials.
Ultrahigh-Q photonic crystal nanocavities in wide optical telecommunication bands (2012)

We have studied the feasibility of extending the operating wavelength range of high-Q silicon nanocavities above and below the 1.55 μm wavelength band, while maintaining Q factors of more than one million. We have succeeded in developing such nanocavities in the optical telecommunication bands from 1.27 μm to 1.50 μm. Very high Q values of more than two million were obtained even for the 1.30 μm band. The Q values increase proportionally to the resonant wavelength because the scattering loss decreases. We have also analyzed the influence of absorption due to surface water. We conclude that high-Q nanocavities are feasible for an even wider wavelength region including parts of the mid-infrared.
