aiDM'22: Fifth International Workshop on Exploiting Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Data Management (2022)

Recent advances in AI techniques, as well as enabling hardware and infrastructure, has led to the integration of AI in wide-ranging domains and tasks. In particular, AI has been used to handle various types of data (including numerical, textual and graphical data) and has been adopted in large-scale distributed systems. From a data management perspective, this calls for the harnessing of state-of- the-art AI solutions for data management tasks and systems. aiDM is a full-day workshop that offers a stage for innovative interdisciplinary research that studies the interaction between AI and data management and develops new AI technologies for data-related tasks. This year, aiDM'22 particularly focuses on the transparent exploitation of AI techniques in existing enterprise-level data management workloads.
A 0.5–9.5-GHz, 1.2- $\mu \text{s}$ Lock-Time Fractional-N DPLL With ±1.25%UI Period Jitter in 16-nm CMOS for Dynamic Frequency and Core-Count Scaling (2016)

A phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture is proposed for improved efficiency of power and thermal management techniques in system-on-chips (SoCs). PLL architecture introduces two techniques: a dual-stage phase-acquisition loop filter that enables fast lock time of 1.2 μs without any frequency overshoots and a nonlinear DCO that enables a wide frequency range of 0.5-9.5 GHz and a low period jitter of ±1.25%UI p-p with a single wideband tuning. With this proposed PLL architecture, SoC can continue its operation without any interruption caused by frequency overshoots during power and thermal management techniques like dynamic core-count scaling and dynamic voltage frequency scaling. The PLL achieves 0.45 ps rms period jitter at 3.25 GHz in fractional-N mode operation, while consuming a total power of 7.1 mW.
Influence of Microstructure on Yielding Behavior of Heavy Gauge High Strength Steel Plates (1990)

The heavy-gauge HSLA steel plates with low yield ratio have been applied to the steel-frames of high-rise buildings to utilize the benefits of their high strength and uniform deformability. The yielding behavior of steels relates to the microstructural morphologies such as microstructure, volume fraction and shape of each phase, dislocation, grain size and so on. In the present paper, appropriate microstructural morphology for low YR HSLA steel was investigated by FEM analysis. The influence of shape, volume fraction and mechanical properties of each phase on yielding behavior were analyzed by dual-phase and tri-phase models. From a series of FEM analysis, it is clarified that the appropriate microstructural morphologies to decrease the YRare as follows. (1) Uniform distribution of spherical high-hardness phase in low-hardness phase (2) Around 50% volume fraction of low-hardness phase (3) Increase of the ratio of yield strength of high-hardness phase to that of low-hardness phase.
Adalimumab Induction Therapy for Crohn Disease Previously Treated with Infliximab (2015)

Background: Adalimumab, a fully human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist, is an effective treatment for patients with Crohn disease who are naive to the chimeric TNF antagonist, infliximab. No anti-TNF agent has been evaluated prospectively in patients with Crohn disease who had responded to another anti-TNF agent and then lost that response or were intolerant of the agent. Objective: To determine whether adalimumab induces remissions more frequently than placebo in adult patients with Crohn disease who have symptoms despite infliximab therapy or who cannot take infliximab because of adverse events. Design: 4-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (November 2004 to December 2005). Setting: 52 sites in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Patients: 325 adults 18 to 75 years of age who had a history of Crohn disease for 4 months or more that was moderate to severe at baseline (Crohn’s Disease Activity Index [CDAI] score, 220 to 450 points). Intervention: Patients were randomly assigned to receive induction doses of adalimumab, 160 mg and 80 mg, at weeks 0 and 2, respectively, or placebo at the same time points. Measurements: The primary end point was induction of remission at week 4. Decreases in CDAI score by 70 or more and 100 or more points (secondary end points) were also measured. Results: A total of 301 patients completed the trial. Twenty-one percent (34 of 159) of patients in the adalimumab group versus 7% (12 of 166) of those in the placebo group achieved remission at week 4 (P 0.001). The absolute difference in clinical remission rates was 14.2 percentage points (95% CI, 6.7 to 21.6 percentage points). A 70-point response occurred at week 4 in 52% (82 of 159) of patients in the adalimumab group versus 34% (56 of 166) of patients in the placebo group (P 0.001). The absolute difference in 70-point response rates was 17.8 percentage points (CI, 7.3 to 28.4 percentage points). Two of 159 patients in the adalimumab group and 4 of 166 patients in the placebo group discontinued treatment because of adverse events. No patients in the adalimumab group and 4 of 166 patients in the placebo group had a serious infection. Limitations: The trial did not directly compare alternative active treatments and did not evaluate maintenance of response or longterm immunogenicity of adalimumab. Conclusion: Adalimumab induces remissions more frequently than placebo in adult patients with Crohn disease who cannot tolerate infliximab or have symptoms despite receiving infliximab therapy.
Synthesis of (+) and (−) Epibatidine (1995)

Abstract A practical synthesis of epibatidine (1) was developed. The key step involved selective reduction of the 5,6-double bond of 7-(tert-butyloxy-carbonyl)-2-(2-chloro-5-pyridyl)-3-(phenylsulfonyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane-2,5-diene (4) using nickel boride.
INVESTIGATION OF Sr-Ru-O/Ru MULTILAYER-ELECTRODES PREPARED BY MOCVD (2006)

ABSTRACT We proposed tailored metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-SrRuO3/Ru electrode for 3D ferroelectric capacitors to prevent the Ru diffusion to Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 [PZT] together with the formation of coherent interfaces with PZT due to the same perovskite structure. The effects of the Sr/(Sr+Ru) ratio on the crystallinity, surface roughness and the electrical properties of PZT films prepared on Sr-Ru-O/Ru bottom electrodes were investigated together with those of Sr-Ru-O layers prepared on Ru. PZT films prepared on Sr-Ru-O layers with the Sr/(Sr+Ru) ratio (x) of x = 0.50 showed the lower leakage current density and the larger remanent polarization than those with x = 0.30 and 0.60. Keywords: MOCVDthree dimensional (3D) ferroelectric capacitorRuSrRuO3 ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors wish to thank Asahi Denka Kogyo K.

Hexagonal Faceted SiC Nanopillars Fabricated by Inductively Coupled SF<sub>6</sub>/O<sub>2</sub> Plasma Method (2012)

We demonstrate a top-down fabrication technique for nanometer scale silicon carbide (SiC) pillars by using inductively coupled SF6/O2 plasma etching. The obtained SiC nanopillars exhibit high anisotropy features (aspect ratio ~ 6.5) with high etch depth (&gt;7 μm). The etch characteristics of SiC nanopillars obtained under these conditions show a high etch rate (550 nm/min) and a high selectivity (over 60 for Ni mask). We obtained hexagonal symmetry of SiC nanopillar, which might be attributed to the crystallographic structure of the SiC phase.

Optical Properties of CdS Microcrystallite-Doped SiO2 Glass Thin Films (1990)

The optical properties of SiO 2 glass thin films containing CdS microcrystallites have been investigated. The thin films were deposited onto SiO 2 and GaAs substrates using an rf-sputtering technique. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurement indicated that the Cd and S atoms were doped as CdS with a hexagonal system in SiO 2 glass matrixes. In the optical absorption spectra, the absorption edge of the films with 18.5 at% of CdS clearly exhibited a blue shift by about 0.13 eV in comparison with that of the bulk CdS. In accordance with this result, the photoluminescence spectra of the films exhibited a blue band-edge emission at a higher energy than that of the bulk CdS. The shift to higher energy seems to be a low-dimensional quantum size effect due to confinement of electrons and holes in CdS microcrystallites.
Frequency-selective multiphoton-excitation-induced photoacoustic microscopy (MEPAM) to visualize the cross sections of dense objects (2010)

Multiphoton excitation-induced photoacoustic microscopy (MEPAM) can be used to investigate the interior of dense objects precisely and directly because the multiphoton excitation occurs only at the focal point. This method makes it possible to avoid the strong signal from the surface of dense objects. However, in the case of tissue imaging, one-photon photoacoustic signals affect the image constructed from MEPAM signals, owing to the smaller cross section of multiphoton absorption compared with that of one-photon absorption. Thus, in order to apply MEPAM for precise investigation in living tissues, it is important to enhance (or extract) only the photoacoustic signals induced by multiphoton excitation. In this study, we examined the use of frequency-selective detection (frequency filtering) in multiphotonphotoacoustic imaging by evaluating the depth discrimination and penetration. Because MEPAM signals are generated in a very small region, they include higher frequency components compared with one-photon photoacoustic signals. We measured the images at the cross sections of blood-vessel phantoms visualized by MEPAM using the high-frequency components. We found that the images visualized using only high-frequency components showed better contrast compared with those visualized using all frequency components. We conclude that the combination of frequency filtering and MEPAM demonstrates great potential for precise observation of cross sections of blood vessels in living tissues.

Coated Lithium Powder (CLiP) Electrodes for Lithium‐Metal Batteries (2013)

Safety issues caused by the metallic lithium inside a battery represent one of the main reasons for the lack of commercial availability of rechargeable lithium‐metal batteries. The advantage of anodes based on coated lithium powder (CLiP), compared to plain lithium foil, include the suppression of dendrite formation, as the local current density during stripping/plating is reduced due to the higher surface area. Another performance and safety advantage of lithium powder is the precisely controlled mass loading of the lithium anode during electrode preparation, giving the opportunity to avoid Li excess in the cell. As an additional benefit, the coating makes electrode manufacturing safer and eases handling. Here, electrodes based on coated lithium powder electrodes (CLiP) are introduced for application in lithium‐metal batteries. These electrodes are compared to lithium foil electrodes with respect to cycling stability, coulombic efficiency of lithium stripping/plating, overpotential, and morphology changes during cycling.
Environmental and occupational disorders Assessment of vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaner bags recommended for allergic subjects (1999)

Background: High-quality vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaner bags are often recommended to allergic patients as a means of reducing indoor allergen exposure. A number of vacuum cleaners on the market today claim to capture 99.9% of particles 0.3 µm or larger entering the vacuum cleaner, and many vacuum cleaner bags are now being sold as microfiltration bags. Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the allergen-trapping abilities of vacuum cleaners and to use a new technique for testing vacuum cleaner bags that are recommended for allergic patients. Methods: Vacuum cleaners were tested in an 18-m3 laboratory room permeated with dust containing high levels of cat allergen by using techniques previously described. Air was sampled with parallel filters in conjunction with a particle counter. The filters were assayed by ELISA for cat allergen (Fel d 1). Vacuum cleaner bags were tested by using a modified dust trap to pull sieved house dust containing a known amount of Fel d 1 across the material used for the bag. Allergen passing through the bag was trapped on a filter covering the exit of the trap and analyzed for Fel d 1. Results: In general, vacuum cleaners designed for allergic patients leaked lower amounts of allergen (<0.5-4.04 ng/m 3) than that found in our previous studies (<0.5-100 ng/m 3). Single-layer vacuum cleaner bags performed poorly (1250-2640 ng recovered) compared with most of the 2- and 3-layer microfiltration bags (0.53-2450 ng recovered). The range of allergen recovered from the 2-layer bags (0.93-2450 ng recovered) highlighted the variability found between manufacturers. Conclusion: The results suggest that although allergen leakage has been reduced, there is still room for improvement. A method of testing allergen leakage by using Fel d 1 should be applied to vacuum cleaners and bags recommended for allergic patients. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 1999;104:1079-83.) Vacuum cleaners are an essential part of home cleaning and the primary method for cleaning wall-to-wall carpeting. However, the use of vacuum cleaners can increase the quantity of airborne cat and mite allergen. 1-5 Previous evidence has suggested that adequate filtration systems could control the release of allergens, and many vacuum cleaners are now claiming to minimize allergen exposure while vacuuming.1,6,7 Recently, it has been suggested that vacuum cleaners could be evaluated by using airborne particle counts as an alternative to measuring specific allergen levels. 8
Auxin-responsiveSAUR39gene modulates auxin level in rice (2009)

The signaling molecule auxin plays a central role in several aspects of plant growth and developmental processes. Underlying optimization of these processes are complex mechanisms orchestrating the expression of genes involved in controlling auxin level, movement and signalling. The small auxin-up RNA (SAUR) family comprises a large set of genes whose expressions are early auxin-responsive. However, the function of these genes is largely unknown. Loss-of-function mutants in a number of Arabidopsis SAUR genes did not show any marked phenotypic differences to wild-type plants likely due to compensatory functions of conserved members of the SAUR gene family. We have recently shown that a rice SAUR39 gene negatively regulates auxin synthesis and transport in rice. Here we propose a model that constitutive induction of SAUR39 gene expression reduces growth and seed yield in rice plants due to the presence of a lower auxin level, reduced polar auxin transport, less chlorophyll and increased sugar and anthocyanin contents. In wild-type plants, the SAUR39 gene is expressed at a low level and is transiently induced by changes in external auxin or other environmental stimuli, but within hours of this change its expression is reduced to the low constitutive level. This homeostatic mechanism is essential for optimal plant growth and seed yield and its disruption due to the constitutive overexpression of SAUR39 leads to a set of negative pleiotropic phenotypes.
Automatic Music Transcription as We Know it Today (2004)

The aim of this overview is to describe methods for the automatic transcription of Western polyphonic music. The transcription task is here understood as transforming an acoustic musical signal into a MIDI-like symbolic representation. Only pitched musical instruments are considered: recognizing the sounds of drum instruments is not discussed. The main emphasis is laid on estimating the multiple fundamental frequencies of several concurrent sounds. Various approaches to solve this problem are discussed, including methods that are based on modelling the human auditory periphery, methods that mimic the human auditory scene analysis function, signal model-based Bayesian inference methods, and data-adaptive methods. Another subproblem addressed is the rhythmic parsing of acoustic musical signals. From the transcription point of view, this amounts to the temporal segmentation of music signals at different time scales. The relationship between the two subproblems and the general structure of the transcription problem is discussed.
On the scaling of rf and dc self-bias voltages with pressure in electronegative capacitively coupled plasmas (2012)

Higher gas densities and lower diffusion losses at higher operating pressures typically lead to increased charged species densities (and hence flux) for a constant power deposition in capacitively coupled plasmas (CCP). As a result, one would expect that the bias radio-frequency (rf) voltage required to deposit a given power in a CCP reactor decreases with increasing operating pressure. These observations may not hold true in multiple frequency CCPs, commonly used for dielectric etching in microelectronics fabrication, due to nonlinear interactions between the rf sources. Wafer-based measurements of the rf and self-generated direct current (dc) bias voltages in a dual-frequency capacitively coupled electronegative plasma were made, which indicate that the rf and dc voltages vary nonmonotonically with pressure. These experimental results are presented in this paper and a computational plasma model is used to explain the experimental observations for varying 60 MHz and 13 MHz powers in the Ar/CF4/CHF3 plasma over a pressure range of 25 to 400 mTorr. The authors found that while the ion density increases with pressure, the increase is most dominant near the electrode with the high frequency source (60 MHz). The rf and dc bias voltages are ultimately influenced by both charged species density magnitudes and spatial profiles.

Radioactive Se And Te Labeled Imaging Agents (2019)

Selenium and tellurium radionuclides are among the few gamma emitting radionuclides which can form two stable covalent bonds with carbon atoms. Long chain fatty acids usually provide a large portion of the energy needs of normal heart tissue. Fatty acids labeled with gamma-emitting isotopes should be useful as myocardial imaging agents in evaluating metabolic function. The pH is regulated and maintained by normal cellular metabolism and the existing physiological buffer systems. Normal blood pH for humans is 7.32 to 7.42, however, many tissues and organs have lower intracellular pH either normally or as a result of various metabolic disturbances or diseases. The brain uptake and retention of these Se-75 labeled tertiary amines, 15 to 19, is a complex function of regional blood flow, transport into cells, nonspecific intracellular binding and/or metabolism and washout from cells or brain.

Biological Intervention Based on Cell and Gene Therapy to Improve Muscle Healing after Laceration (2000)

Muscle laceration is a challenging problem in traumatology and is common in sports injuries, with functional recovery remaining slow and incomplete. Even though muscles retain their ability to regenerate after injury, muscles' healing process after such injuries has been found to be very slow and often leads to incomplete muscle recovery. Growth factors may have a role in enhancing recovery. Our previous study showed that IGF-1, β-FGF and NGF can improve myoblast proliferation and differentiation in vitro. We then investigated whether the delivery of IGF-1 would improve muscle healing after injuries. We observed that muscle regeneration was enhanced in lacerated muscles treated with IGF-1 protein, which consequently led to an improvement in muscle healing. However, the rapid clearance and short biological half-lives of these proteins may have limited the success of this approach. We then investigated the efficiency of gene therapy based on adenovirus to deliver a stable expression of the growth factor IGF-1. Although a slight improvement in the healing process occurred in the muscle injected with adenovirus (AIGF), the combination of myoblast transplantation and gene therapy with the ex vivo approach further improved the healing process. The injection of normal myoblasts into the injured muscle led to the best improvement of muscle healing at two weeks post-injection. Implantation of normal minced muscle into mdx mice was also capable of improving muscle healing at 2–4 weeks post-implantation. These studies will further our understanding of muscle healing post-injury and help in the development of strategies to promote efficient muscle healing and complete functional recovery after common muscle injuries.
