MWCNTS/Nickel Oxide Nanocomposite Supercapacitor Made from Two Electrode Coin Type Cells (2015)

Studies have shown that carbon nanotubes-metal oxide (CNT/MO) nanocomposite modified electrodes exhibited huge capacitive current in some electrolytes [1-6]. Therefore, it becomes imperative to establish the charge storage properties of these materials as a potential source for energy generation in acidic and neutral medium since most reported work has been conducted in an alkaline environment. In this work, supercapacitive property of synthesised nickel oxides (NiO) nanoparticles integrated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in an acidic medium using a two-electrode coin cell type supercapacitor was investigated. Successful formation of the MWCNT-NiO nanocomposite was confirmed with techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The supercapacitive behaviour of both the symmetry and the asymmetry MWCNT-NiO based supercapacitor in 1 M H 2 SO 4 and 1 M Na 2 SO 4 electrolytes was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and galvanostatic constant current charge-discharge (CD) techniques. There was a good correlation between the CV and the CD specific capacitance (SC) values for the asymmetry supercapacitor. Asymmetry supercapacitor (MWCNT-NiO|H 2 SO 4 |MWCNT) gave the highest SC value of 925.9 mFcm -2 (53.9 F g -1 ) and energy deliverable efficiency of 101.0±8.1%. High SC values which are higher than most of those reported in literature were obtained. The electrodes demonstrated high stabilities with no significant changes in SC values over 1000 cycles.

Perspectives of an Engineering CAD and Visualization Sequence for Freshmen and Sophomores in ME (2013)

The Mechanical Engineering Department at Washington State University has recently completed 6 years of a CAD sequence for freshmen and sophomores beginning with fundamental CAD skills leading rapidly into more advanced topics and culminating in CAD applications for engineering design and analysis. The students learn how to follow an abbreviated set of written instructions; master advanced modeling techniques, model for analysis, use an assortment of computational CAD tools to analyze models, incorporate CAD analysis into the design process, and use CAD analysis to drive design optimization. This sequence has been instrumental in preparing students for the subsequent set of design classes at the junior and senior level. This paper will discuss some of the unique aspects of this instructional sequence and some of the best practices that were integrated into the curriculum.
Optimal Filter Selection for Multispectral Object Classification Using Fast Binary Search (2022)

When designing multispectral imaging systems for classifying different spectra it is necessary to choose a small number of filters from a set with several hundred different ones. Tackling this problem by full search leads to a tremendous number of possibilities to check and is NP-hard. In this paper we introduce a novel fast binary search for optimal filter selection that guarantees a minimum distance metric between the different spectra to classify. In our experiments, this procedure reaches the same optimal solution as with full search at much lower complexity. The desired number of filters influences the full search in factorial order while the fast binary search stays constant. Thus, fast binary search allows to find the optimal solution of all combinations in an adequate amount of time and avoids prevailing heuristics. Moreover, our fast binary search algorithm outperforms other filter selection techniques in terms of misclassified spectra in a real-world classification problem.
Holographic Perfect Shuffle Interconnections for Planar Optics (1993)

For perfect shuffle interconnections, a planar optical configuration with two double-imaging deflective-reflective holograms is proposed. Interconnection capacity is derived from an aberration analysis.
Toward Stem Cell Systems Biology: From Molecules to Networks and Landscapes (2008)

The last few years have seen significant advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of stem-cell-fate specification. New and emerging high-throughput techniques, as well as increasingly accurate loss-of-function perturbation techniques, are allowing us to dissect the interplay among genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, and signaling mechanisms in stem-cell-fate determination with ever-increasing fidelity (Boyer et al. 2005, 2006; Ivanova et al. 2006; Loh et al. 2006; Cole et al. 2008; Jiang et al. 2008; Johnson et al. 2008; Kim et al. 2008; Liu et al. 2008; Marson et al. 2008; Mathur et al. 2008). Taken together, recent reports using these new techniques demonstrate that stem-cell-fate specification is an extremely complex process, regulated by multiple mutually interacting molecular mechanisms involving multiple regulatory feedback loops. Given this complexity and the sensitive dependence of stem cell differentiation on signaling cues from the extracellular environment, how are we best to develop a coherent quantitative understanding of stem cell fate at the systems level? One approach that we and other researchers have begun to investigate is the application of techniques derived in the computational disciplines (mathematics, physics, computer science, etc.) to problems in stem cell biology. Here, we briefly sketch a few pertinent results from the literature in this area and discuss future potential applications of computational techniques to stem cell systems biology.
Region‐specifi neuro‐astroglial interactions: Ultrastructural study of the in vitro expression of neuronal polarity (1988)

Mesencephalic neurons were cultured for 2 days on mesencephalic or striatal astrocyte monolayers. The morphology of these neurons was studied in electron microscopy. The number of dendritic profiles was higher on mesencephalic astrocytes (homotopic neuro-astroglial co-cultures) than on striatal astrocytes (heterotopic co-cultures). This increase in the number of dendrites correlated with a more mature aspect of the neurons. Striatal neurons were also cultured on the astrocytic monolayers. The state of maturation of these neurons was more advanced, and the number of their dendrites was higher on striatal than on mesencephalic astrocytes. These results confirm and extend the fact that neuronal maturation and dendritic growth can be regulated through region-specific neuro-astroglial interactions (Denis-Donini et al., 1984; Chamak et al., 1987).
Vertical-Injection AlGaInP LEDs with n-AlGaInP Nanopillars Fabricated by Self-Assembled ITO-Based Nanodots (2015)

The light output power of AlGaInP-based vertical-injection light-emitting diodes (VI-LEDs) can be enhanced significantly using n-AlGaInP nanopillars. n-AlGaInP nanopillars, ~200 nm in diameter, were produced using SiO2 nanopillars as an etching mask, which were fabricated from self-assembled tin-doped indium oxide (ITO)-based nanodots formed by the wet etching of as-deposited ITO films. The AlGaInP-based VI-LEDs with the n-AlGaInP nanopillars provided 25 % light output power enhancement compared to VI-LEDs with a surface-roughened n-AlGaInP because of the reduced total internal reflection by the nanopillars at the n-AlGaInP/air interface with a large refractive index difference of 1.9.
One‐step methods to prepare cryptands and crowns containing reactive functional groups (1990)

Abstract A one‐step synthesis of cryptand [2.2.2] containing three methylenyl substituents in a 25% yield from the reaction of triethanolamine and 3‐chloro‐2‐chloromethyl‐1‐propene is described. A similar cryptand was prepared in 56% yield by a two‐step process. One‐step syntheses of N,N ‐hydroxyethyl‐diaza‐18‐crown‐6 and crown‐6 compounds containing two alkene functional groups are also described.

Beating the bubble (2014)

We present the Bubble Lens, a new target acquisition technique that remedies the limitations of the Bubble Cursor to increase the speed and accuracy of acquiring small, dense targets--precisely those targets for which the Bubble Cursor degenerates to a point cursor. When targets are large and sparse, the Bubble Lens behaves like the Bubble Cursor. But when targets are small and dense, the Bubble Lens automatically magnifies nearby targets, making them larger in both visual- and motor-space. Importantly, magnification is not governed by an explicit user-invoked mode-switch. Rather, magnification is activated through kinematic triggering, a technique that continuously examines an unfolding velocity profile to automatically trigger mode changes based on observed features. In a first study, we found the Bubble Cursor performed poorly when targets had an effective size smaller than 10 pixels. Using this threshold for the Bubble Lens in a second study, we found that the Bubble Lens significantly outperformed the Bubble Cursor, decreasing movement time by 10.2% and error rates by 37.9%, making the Bubble Lens the fastest current pointing technique.
Local magnetic properties ofPrBa2Cu3O6+x: NMR and NQR in crystals (1996)

NQR spectra of Cu-chain sites in ${\mathrm{PrBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ crystals show below the N\'eel temperature of Pr the presence of a transferred hyperfine field of \ensuremath{\approxeq}0.12 T from the Pr sublattice. The fields at the Cu-plane sites observed below 4.2 K are an order of magnitude larger. In contrast no field could be detected at the Cu chains in ${\mathrm{PrBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{7}$. The spectrum at the Cu-plane sites for high oxygen concentration indicates the existence of a transferred field similar to the one in the reduced sample. The large transferred fields are in direct contradiction to the antiferromagnetic structure generally assumed for the Pr moments. They strongly support the model of a broken Pr point symmetry at least in ${\mathrm{PrBa}}_{2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{6}$. The most simple distortion of the tetragonal ${\mathrm{PrO}}_{8}$ complex (${\mathit{D}}_{4\mathit{h}}$), which may give rise to the fields, is not to orthorhombic (${\mathit{D}}_{2\mathit{h}}$) as is usually assumed, but to ${\mathit{C}}_{4\mathit{v}}$. The results indicate that the Pr moments are perpendicular to the c axis and that the antiferromagnetic coupling along the c axis is distorted for the reduced sample. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
5.4 Properties and applications of cellulose triacetate film (2004)

Abstract The CTA film can be characterized by e.g. its relatively high moisture regain, significantly low birefringence, and moderate mechanical strength. Having been commercialized more than fifty years ago, it has been widely used as photographic film, protective film for polarizing plate, and optical compensation film for liquid crystal display (LCD). The photographic film application exploits the optical isotropy and unique physical properties of the CTA film. In the application of the CTA film to protective film for polarizing plate, its low in‐plane birefringence is of particular importance. In the optical compensation to enhance the viewing angle of LCD, the CTA film, because of its moderate retardation in thickness direction (Rth), serves as an element of compensator as well as a base film. Considering the growth of the LCD market, the demand for CTA film is believed to be further expanding.
Data Access Interoperability in the IBM Database Family. (1998)

this paper, we provide a brief and necessarily incomplete overview of what IBM is doing to address some of the aforementioned challenges. In particular, we describe how IBM&amp;apos;s DB2 Universal Database product family is responding to these challenges in order to provide heterogeneous data access capabilities to DB2 customers. To address the problem of accessing and managing data across multiple databases and database systems, the DB2 family includes DataJoiner technology; this technology provides transparent SQL-based access to legacy data that may be managed by any of a number of vendors&amp;apos; database systems. To address problems related to external data access and management, the DB2 family offers several relevant technologies; these include Table Functions
The UspA1 Protein ofMoraxella catarrhalisInduces CEACAM‐1–Dependent Apoptosis in Alveolar Epithelial Cells (2007)

Moraxella catarrhalis is a major cause of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema. M. catarrhalis-specific UspA1 and the epithelial carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM1) were required to induce apoptosis. M. catarrhalis-induced apoptosis was significantly enhanced in HeLa cells stably transfected with CEACAM1, compared with HeLa cells not expressing CEACAM1. Infected cells showed increased activity of caspases 3, 6, and 9 but not of caspase 8. Reduced expression of Bcl-2, translocation of Bax into the mitochondria, and cytosolic increase of apoptosis-inducing factor in M. catarrhalis-infected cells implicated the involvement of mitochondrial death pathways. In conclusion, M. catarrhalis induced apoptosis in pulmonary epithelial cells--a process that was triggered by interaction between CEACAM1 and UspA1. Thus, M. catarrhalis-induced apoptosis of pulmonary epithelial cells may contribute to the development of COPD and emphysema.

Mask defect verification using actinic inspection and defect mitigation technology (2009)

The availability of defect-free masks remains one of the key challenges for inserting extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) into high volume manufacturing. The successful production of defect-free masks will depend on the timely development of defect inspection tools, including both mask blank inspection tools and absorber pattern inspection tools to meet the 22 nm half-pitch node. EUV mask blanks with embedded phase defects were inspected with a reticle actinic inspection tool (AIT) and the Lasertec M7360. The Lasertec M7360 is operated at SEMA TECH's Mask blank Development Center (MBDC) in Albany, with sensitivity to multilayer defects down to 40-45 nm, which is not likely sufficient for mask blank development below the 32 nm half-pitch node. Phase defect printability was simulated to calculate the required defect sensitivity for the next generation blank inspection tool to support reticle development for the sub-32 nm half-pitch technology node. This paper will also discuss the kind of infrastructure that will be required in the development and mass production stages.

Photoreactivity of 2-Pyridones with Furan, Benzene, and Naphthalene. Inter- and Intramolecular Photocycloadditions (2000)

Pyridones, well-known for their ability to photodimerize, have been found to undergo [4 + 4] photocycloaddition with furan and naphthalene but not with benzene. In some cases these reactions can be highly regio- and stereospecific. Intramolecular reaction with furan produces both cis and trans [4 + 4] products. The cycloaddition with naphthalene can occur both inter- and intramolecularly. The intermolecular reaction yields primarily the cis isomer, whereas the trans isomer is the major product from the intramolecular reaction. A mixture of 4-methoxy-2-pyridone and 2-methoxynaphthalene that could form up to eight regio- and stereoisomers forms largely one [4 + 4] product.
A phase II trial of thalidomide and cyclophosphamide in patients with recurrent or refractory pediatric malignancies (2006)

Cooperative Device Browsing through Portable Private Area Network (2006)

In next-generation networking environments, ubiquitous networks will be available both indoors and outdoors. Various devices will be ubiquitously embedded in our homes and cityscape. Digital content will be stored not only by servers on the Internet, but also in embedded devices belonging to ubiquitous networks. In this paper, we propose a content-processing mechanism for use in environment-enabling collaborative acquisition of embedded digital content in real-world situations. We have developed a network management device that makes it possible to acquire embedded content using coordinated ubiquitous devices. This management device actively configures networks that include content-providing devices and browsing devices to enable sharing of a range of digital content. To demonstrate our system, we built a practical prototype called the "Virtual Insect Catching System", which is simple enough for children to use. In a test that 48 children took part in we demonstrated that the system can be used to find embedded devices, build peer-topeer networks, acquire embedded digital content, retrieve related content from the Internet, and then create new web content.
Fragment Graphical Variational AutoEncoding for Screening Molecules with\n Small Data (2019)

In the majority of molecular optimization tasks, predictive machine learning\n(ML) models are limited due to the unavailability and cost of generating big\nexperimental datasets on the specific task. To circumvent this limitation, ML\nmodels are trained on big theoretical datasets or experimental indicators of\nmolecular suitability that are either publicly available or inexpensive to\nacquire. These approaches produce a set of candidate molecules which have to be\nranked using limited experimental data or expert knowledge. Under the\nassumption that structure is related to functionality, here we use a molecular\nfragment-based graphical autoencoder to generate unique structural fingerprints\nto efficiently search through the candidate set. We demonstrate that\nfragment-based graphical autoencoding reduces the error in predicting physical\ncharacteristics such as the solubility and partition coefficient in the small\ndata regime compared to other extended circular fingerprints and string based\napproaches. We further demonstrate that this approach is capable of providing\ninsight into real world molecular optimization problems, such as searching for\nstabilization additives in organic semiconductors by accurately predicting 92%\nof test molecules given 69 training examples. This task is a model example of\nblack box molecular optimization as there is minimal theoretical and\nexperimental knowledge to accurately predict the suitability of the additives.\n
Preemptive Immunotherapy with Highly Purified CD56+/CD3− Natural Killer Cells after Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation. A Prospective Phase II Study in 2 Centers. (2006)

Abstract Allogeneic natural killer cells may exert cytotoxic activity against HLA-nonidentical tumor cells. This effect may be exploited after T-cell depleted haploidentical hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) by using donor NK-cell infusions (NK-DLI) as adoptive immunotherapy. In a prospective phase II study in 2 centers we treated 15 patients with NK-DLI preemptively with the goals to demonstrate feasibility and to explore whether such infusions would contribute to stabilize engraftment and exert graft versus leukemia activity without causing GvHD. Patients were adults (6) or children (8) receiving transplants from haploidentical donors to treat AML (7) ALL (5) Hodgkin lymphoma (2) or sarcoma (1). Donors were haplotype mismatched siblings in 3 and parents in 12. Donor NK cells were selected from unstimulated leukapheresis using immunomagnetic T cell depletion with anti-CD3 and NK cell enrichment with anti-CD56 coated microbeads on the CliniMACS ® device. Per protocol, patients in center A received NK-DLI on days +40 and +100 and in center B on days +3, +40 and +100. NK-DLI were either freshly infused or cryopreserved and thawed. Center A Center B N 8 7 Adults / Children 6/2 0/7 Disease: AML/ALL/HD/oth 6/1/1/0 1/4/1/1 Number of NK-DLI per patient 1/2/3 2/5/1 2/3/2 Median NK-cell recovery (%) 62 37 NK-cell dose (10e7/kg) (median, range) 1.2 (0.5–3.4) 1.4 (0.66–3.23) T-cell dose (10e4/kg) (median, range) 0.2 (0–7.2) 0.23 (0–5.3) Events: graft failure / progression / GvHD (III–IV) 2/2/1 1/2/1 Alive / Dead 3/5 5/2 Cause of death: graft failure/progression/GvHD 2/2/1 0/2/0 NK-cell collection and ex vivo purification was successful in all donors. Outcome is shown in the Table. Of note: One patient in each center developed severe (grade III / grade IV) GvHD respectively. These 2 patients had received the highest T-cell dose. The remaining patients tolerated NK-DLI well and did not develop GvHD. Two patients in Center A experienced graft failure after NK-DLI in spite of NK-alloreactivity in GvHD direction. In conclusion: highly purified NK cells may be infused in recipients of haploidentical HSCT recipients. None of the patients receiving &amp;lt; 10e4/kg CD3+ cells developed GvHD. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal dose and timing of NK-DLI for anti-tumor activity in this setting.
Which Lenke 1A Curves Are at the Greatest Risk for Adding-On... and Why? (2012)

Understanding the difference between Lenke 1A-L and 1A-R curve types may be helpful in preventing the adding-on phenomena postoperatively. To prevent adding-on in 1A-R curves, we recommend fusing distally to 1 level above the neutral vertebra or 1 to 2 levels above the stable vertebra. In 1A-L curves, adding-on may simply be a need to balance some lumbar curve progression in a young, skeletally immature patient.
