Improved spread spectrum: a new modulation technique for robust watermarking (2003)

This paper introduces a new watermarking modulation technique, which we call improved spread spectrum (ISS). When compared with traditional spread spectrum (SS), the signal does not act as a noise source, leading to significant gains. In some examples, performance improvements over SS are 20 dB in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or ten or more orders of magnitude in the error probability. The proposed method achieves roughly the same noise robustness gain as quantization index modulation (QIM) but without the amplitude scale sensitivity of QIM. Our proposed ISS is as robust in practice as traditional SS.
Ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy of the inverse giant piezoresistance effect in silicon nanomembranes (2015)

We observe the clear inverse piezoresistance effect in the silicon nanomembranes. Thickness-dependent optical-pump terahertz spectroscopy strongly corroborate that the effect originates from the carrier-concentration changes via charge carrier trapping into strain-induced defect states.
Prolonged Oxygen-Carrying Ability of Hemoglobin Vesicles by Coencapsulation of Catalase in Vivo (2003)

Hemoglobin (Hb) vesicles (particle diameter, ca. 250 nm) have been developed as Hb-based oxygen carriers in which a purified Hb solution is encapsulated with a phospholipid bilayer membrane. The oxidation of Hb to nonfunctional ferric Hb (metHb) was caused by reactive oxygen species, especially hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), in vivo in addition to autoxidation. We focused on the enzymatic elimination of H(2)O(2) to suppress the metHb formation in the Hb vesicles. In this study, we coencapsulated catalase with Hb within vesicles and studied the rate of metHb formation in vivo. The Hb vesicles containing 5.6 x 10(4) unit mL(-1) catalase decreased the rate of metHb formation by half in comparison with Hb vesicles without catalase. We succeeded in prolonging the oxygen-carrying ability of the Hb vesicle in vivo by the coencapsulation of catalase.

Techniques and tools for model-based design and analysis of embedded real-time software. (2004)

As Embedded Real-Time (ERT) systems become more complex and safety-critical, there is a trend to raise software development level of abstraction from programming languages to models. We have developed a suite of techniques and tools to improve industry acceptance of model-driven development of ERT software. As a result of collaboration among multiple institutions, an end-to-end tool-chain has been developed for the design and analysis of ERT software, with Avionics Mission Computing (AMC) as the main target application. As part of the tool-chain, we have developed a tool called AIRES for model-level static analysis. Compared to traditional static analysis techniques that work at the level of programming languages, AIRES works at a higher level of abstraction, and provides valuable dependency and timing information to the engineer at an early stage of the design cycle. AIRES mainly focuses on the static structural aspects while largely ignoring the dynamic behavior of component interactions. We use model-checking to formalize the natural language description of the dynamic behavior of the AMC software, and verify safety and liveness properties. We also present several techniques to improve scalability of model-checking by exploiting application-level domain semantics. To bridge the gap between logical models and implementation on the physical execution platform, many UML tools come with automatic code generators that translate models into code in a programming language. However, current code generation technology generates functional code without considering non-functional and real-time issues. We have adapted the schedulability analysis algorithm by Harbour, Klein and Lehoczky to fit the native runtime model of UML-RT, a UML profile widely used in the telecom domain. This algorithm can be used during state-space exploration to synthesize an implementation architecture for a logical UML-RT model that satisfies timing constraints. In summary, the techniques and tools developed in this thesis address multiple aspects of model-driven development of ERT software, in order to shift the focus of the software development process from programming language-level to the model-level, and reduce the overall system development cost.

Southwest Oncology Group Study of Paclitaxel and Carboplatin for Advanced Transitional-Cell Carcinoma: The Importance of Survival as a Clinical Trial End Point (2000)

The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin for the treatment of advanced TCC is reasonably well tolerated. However, a response proportion considerably lower than that previously reported was noted. In addition, the median survival time of 9 months was less than the survival time previously reported for patients treated with the combination of methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin. Although our results may reflect enrollment of patients with poor prognostic features, they also call into question the utility of this regimen.
Highly Aldehyde Gas-Sensing Responsiveness and Selectivity of Layered Organic-Guest/MoO3-Host Hybrid Sensor (2007)

A layered organic/inorganic hybrid thin film, which consists of MoO3 with poly(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthylamine) (PTHNA), which is used as an aldehyde gas sensor, was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and gas-sensing properties analysis. The (PTHNA)xMoO3 hybrid thin film shows distinct increasing resistance response to acetaldehyde and little response to formaldehyde in ppb level whereas typical organic/MoO3 hybrids show larger response to formaldehyde than to acetaldehyde or almost equal responses to formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in ppb level.
Smells Like Teen Spirit—A Model to Generate Laundry-Associated Malodour In Vitro (2021)

Although malodour formation on textiles and in washing machines has been reported to be a very relevant problem in domestic laundry, the processes leading to bad odours have not been studied intensively. In particular, the smell often described as "wet-and-dirty-dustcloth-like malodour" had not been reproduced previously. We developed a lab model based on a bacterial mixture of <i>Micrococcus luteus</i>, <i>Staphylococcus hominis</i>, and <i>Corynebacterium jeikeium</i>, which can produce this odour type and which might allow the detailed investigation of this problem and the development of counteractions. The model uses bacterial strains that have been isolated from malodourous textiles. We could also show that the three volatile compounds dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and indole contribute considerably to the "wet-fabric-like" malodour. These substances were not only found to be formed in the malodour model but have already been identified in the literature as relevant malodourous substances.

One-step production of adipic acid from cyclohexane over stable oxides (CeO2 & ZrO2) using O2: Enhanced oxidation activity in acidic medium (2022)

One-step production of adipic acid from cyclohexane using O2 is a long due process for replacing conventional two-step process involving nitric acid oxidation of KA-oil. This work presents one-step oxidation of cyclohexane into adipic acid using O2 over stable oxides including CeO2 (Redox) and ZrO2 (Non-Redox) in acid medium. The effect of acidic medium and nature of metal oxide catalysts in cyclohexane oxidation have been investigated. While no activity was observed in solvent-free condition, presence of a polar protic solvent promoted significant improvement in oxidation activity.
The Promises and Perils of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: Exploring Emerging Social and Ethical Issues (2003)

Rapid advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology are profoundly influencing the ways in which we conceptualize the world of the future, and human ability to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular levels offers previously unimagined possibilities for scientific discovery and technological applications. The convergence of nanotechnology with biotechnology, information technology, cognitive science, and engineering may hold promise for the improvement of human performance at a number of levels. Based on a National Science Foundation-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in nanoscience and nanotechnology at the University of Central Florida (summer 2002), a variety of social and ethical issues associated with these advances is discussed. Implications for the future of science-technology-society studies and K-16 science education also are presented.
A stem cell gene expression profile of human squamous cell carcinomas (2008)

To investigate the relationship between stem cells in normal epithelium and in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), we examined expression of a panel of human epidermal stem cell markers in SCCs and SCC cell lines. Markers that are co-expressed in normal stem cells were not co-expressed in SCC. Downregulation of two markers, Lrig1 and MAP4, and upregulation of a third, MCSP, correlated with poor differentiation status and increased proliferation in primary tumours. We conclude that SCCs do not reflect a simple expansion of stem cells; rather, tumour cells hijack the homeostatic controls that operate in normal stem cells, eliminating those that maintain stem cell quiescence.

Experimental Test of Hyper-Complex Quantum Theories (2016)

In standard quantum mechanics, complex numbers are used to describe the wavefunction. Although complex numbers have proven sufficient to predict the results of existing experiments, there is no apparent theoretical reason to choose them over real numbers or generalizations of complex numbers, i.e. hyper-complex numbers. Experiments performed to date have proven that real numbers are insufficient, but whether or not hyper-complex numbers are required remains an open question. Quantum theories based on hyper-complex numbers are one example of a post-quantum theory, which must be put on a firm experimental foundation. Here we experimentally probe hyper-complex quantum theories, by studying one of their deviations from complex quantum theory: the non-commutativity of phases. We do so by passing single photons through a Sagnac interferometer containing two physically different phases, having refractive indices of opposite sign. By showing that the phases commute with high precision, we place limits on a particular prediction of hyper-complex quantum theories.
Heterogeneity of Rotavirus Testing and Admitting Practices for Gastroenteritis among 12 Tertiary Care Pediatric Hospitals: Implications for Surveillance (2011)

The present study found that differences in admitting and testing practices may contribute to significant differences in rotavirus admission totals. Given these differences, caution should be used when using local case estimates for cost-effectiveness analyses and immunization program decisions. The present study illustrates that understanding the factors that influence the identification of a disease is important when interpreting and applying surveillance data.
Extremely large refractive index of strained GaInNAs thin films (2002)

The refractive index of-strained GaInNAs layers was investigated. By spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), changes in the optical constants of GaInNAs layers could be observed clearly, even though the layers were as thin as 6 nm and the nitrogen content was less than 1%. The refractive index of GaInNAs was found by ellipsometric analysis to increase in proportion to the nitrogen content taking the layer strain into account. The increase in the refractive index as the bandgap energy decreased was consistent with that observed in conventional III-V alloy semiconductors. The rate of increase relative to the bandgap shrinkage was, however, more than triple that in GaInAs. This may be due to the high density of states in the conduction band, which is unique to this type of material system that includes nitrogen atoms.
MaGNIFIES: Manageable GAN Image Augmentation Framework for Inspection of Electronic Systems (2023)

Abstract Electronic counterfeiting is a long-lasting problem that continues to cost original manufacturers billions, fund organized crime, and jeopardize national security and mission-critical infrastructures. Manual inspection is a popular and standardized way to detect counterfeit electronic components but, it is time-consuming and requires subject matter experts for classification. State-of-the-art machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision-based physical inspection methods are promising to alleviate these issues. However, the main bottleneck for doing so is a lack of high-quality, publicly available counterfeit image data for training. Producing such datasets is also time-consuming and often requires expensive equipment. In addition, most test labs are not allowed to freely publish images taken from their customer's chips. One solution to this data shortage bottleneck can be addressed by augmenting synthetic data. In this paper, (i) data multiplication using Progressive GAN, StyleGAN and classical methods in counterfeit data domain are explored (ii) a novel framework, named MaGNIFIES, is proposed and (iii) an efficient Convolutional Neural Network architecture is proposed, that can detect defective parts by training only on the synthetic dataset generated using (i) or (ii). For proof of concept, we have used low-quality images of resistors and capacitors with and without scratch defects as counterfeit and golden components respectively. We have also illustrated how our approach using MaGNIFIES addresses the shortcomings of the existing augmentation methods. Separate data augmentation detection models are trained with each type of augmented data generated using MaGNIFIES as well as existing techniques and tested on a test set of real data.

This gene expression diagnostic approach should be considered for further validation and future implementation.
Optimal Design of a New Strain-Type Sensor for Cuff-Less Blood Pressure Measurement via Finite Element Modeling and Taguchi Method (2019)

A new cuff-less blood pressure (BP) sensor is designed and optimized in this paper. This BP sensor is in a shape of a circular disc of polymer enclosing an electrode. As the sensor is attached to the wrist artery, the dynamic bending of the sensor due to small artery pulsation induces variation in the electrode strain, and then, its resistance varies. With adequate amplification to sense resistance variation, the pulsation signals can be successfully obtained. With the measured pulsation representing well the blood volume pulsation (BVP), BP can be estimated next via the pulse wave velocity (PWV) theory. Effort is dedicated by this paper to optimize the sizes and geometry of the proposed sensor to maximize the electrode curvature change for largest measured signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) possible, which maximizes the accuracy of BP estimation. To this end, the optimization via the finite element modeling and the Taguchi method is carried out. In results, the optimal sizes in height/radius, fillet, hardness, and the electrode position of the polymer disc are successfully derived, which are in the height of 2 mm, the radius of 6mm, the distance between the planar electrode and the bottom surface of sensor being 1 mm, the hardness of the encapsulating polymer being 25 in shore A hardness, and the fillets at the bottom of the polymer disc being 1 mm in radii. BP is measured for 59 subjects. The resulted errors are 3.60 ± 5.40 mmHg (mean difference ± standard deviation) and 1.15 ± 1.63 mmHg for SBP and DBP, respectively. The correlations are 0.8787 and 0.9648, demonstrating well the favorable performance of the developed sensor.
Current-Field Driven “Spin Transistor” (2009)

We propose a novel type of "spin transistor", driven by a current-induced magnetic field. The basic structure is composed of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) with low resistance-area product, together with an electrically-isolated metallic wire which can control the magnetization of the free layer of the MTJ by producing a magnetic field. By choosing an optimum cell size, we successfully demonstrated power gain of 5.6. We also found that the current amplification can be realized by reducing the parasitic resistance of the structure. This is the first demonstration of the power amplification in the spintronic device at room temperature.

Analysis of Histological Image and SRuCT Image Volumes of Bone Remodeling Around Implants (2007)

In this paper we present an automatic method for measurements of bone area and bone-implant contact length around the implant in histological images. The method is then compared to the time consuming and subjective manual method performed in the light-microscope. Signiﬁcant difference in the length values of the estimation of the bone-implant contact were observed, revealing greater numbers for the automatic method compared to the manual. These differences are most likely due to staining artifacts. However, the area measurements of the automatic method correspond well with the manual method. Furthermore, this paper also gives a brief description of the initial investigation of the use of tomography imaging methods to quantify bone remodeling around implants. The synchrotron radiation based microtomography technique (SRµCT) seems to be suitable for an subsequent analysis of bone tissue integration.
