Plasma abatement of perfluorocompounds in inductively coupled plasma reactors (2000)

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), gases which have large global warming potentials, are widely used in plasma processing for etching and chamber cleaning. Due to underutilization of the feedstock gases or by-product generation, the effluents from plasma tools using these gases typically have large mole fractions of PFCs. The use of plasma burn-boxes located downstream of the plasma chamber has been proposed as a method for abating PFC emissions with the goals of reducing the cost of PFC abatement and avoiding the NOx formation usually found with thermal treatment methods. Results from the two-dimensional Hybrid Plasma Equipment Model have been used to investigate the scaling of plasma abatement of PFCs using plasma burn-boxes. An inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching chamber is modeled to determine the utilization of the feedstock gases and the generation of by-products. The effluent from the etching chamber is then passed through a plasma burn-box excited by a second ICP source. O2, H2, and H2O are examined as additive gases in the burn-box. We find that C2F6 (or CF4) consumption in the etching reactor increases with increasing ICP power deposition at constant C2F6 (or CF4) mole fraction, and decreasing C2F6 (or CF4) mole fraction or total gas flow rate at constant power. The efficiency of removal of C2F6 (eV/molecule), however, is strongly dependent only on the C2F6 mole fraction and total gas flow rate. All PFCs in the effluent can generally be abated in the burn-box at high power deposition with a sufficiently large flow of additive gases. In general CF4 generation occurs during abatement of C2F6 using O2 as an additive. CF4 is not, however, substantially produced when using H2 or H2O as additives. The efficiency of PFC abatement decreases with increasing power and decreasing additive mole fraction.

Effect of capsazepine on the release of calcitonin gene‐related peptide‐like immunoreactivity (CGRP‐LI) induced by low pH, capsaicin and potassium in rat soleus muscle (1993)

1. We have determined the effect of the competitive antagonist capsazepine at the capsaicin receptor on the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) from rat isolated soleus muscle induced by capsaicin (1 microM), by superfusion with low pH medium (pH 5) or by KCl (80 mM). 2. Each one of the three stimuli tested produced a marked CGRP-LI release. Total evoked release (fmol g-1) was 482 +/- 69, 169 +/- 20 and 253 +/- 43 for capsiacin, low pH medium and KCL, respectively. 3. Prior application of capsiacin (10 microM for 30 min followed by 30 min of washout) to produce capasaicin desensitization in vitro abolished CGRP-LI release induced by the three stimuli. 4. Capsazepine (1-100 microM, 45 min preincubation) inhibited the evoked CGRP-LI release. Capsaicin-induced release was significantly inhibited by 77, 92 and 96% with 10, 30 and 100 microM capsazepine, respectively. Low pH-induced release was inhibited by 78, 84, 88 and 93% with 3, 10, 30 and 100 microM capsazepine, respectively. KCl-induced release was significantly inhibited by 55 and 93% with 30 and 100 microM (but not with 10 microM) capsazepine, respectively. 5. These findings demonstrate that capsazepine prevents low pH- and capsaicin-induced CGRP-LI release from rat soleus muscle at concentrations which do not affect the release evoked by KCl. These findings imply a relationship between the action of low pH and activation of the capsaicin receptor. At high concentrations, capsazepine produces a nonspecific inhibitory effect on CGRP-LI release from peripheral endings of the capsaicin-sensitive primary afferent neurone.

Metallic Colloid Nanotechnology, Applications in Diagnosis and Therapeutics (2005)

In recent years the fields of medicine and biology assist to an ever-growing innovation related to the development of nanotechnologies. In the pharmaceutical domain, for example, liposomes, polymer based micro and nanoparticles have been subjects of intense research and development during the last three decades. In this scenario metallic particles, which use was already suggested in the first half of the '80, are now experiencing a real renaissance. In the field of diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging is one of the first and up to now the most developed application of metallic particles. But beside this application, a very new generation of biosensors based on the optical properties of colloidal gold and fluorescent nanocrystals, called quantum dots seems to be ready to be implemented in diagnosis and medical imaging. Concerning therapeutic applications, the potentialities of metal nanoparticles to help fulfilling the need of time and space controlled release of drugs has been intuited for a long time. Nowadays, magnetically guided carriers or thermal responsive matrices, in which drug release is triggered by the heating of metal nanoparticles, are effective examples of their application in drug delivery, while more recently efforts to develop metallic nanoobjects to be used as vectors of nucleic acids for vaccination and transfection have been multiplied. In the future, one of the most interesting challenges is certainly the use of metallic nanoparticles for an innovating, effective and selective physical treatment of solid tumors via targeted intracellular hyperthermia.
A compact model for projections of future power supply distribution network requirements (2003)

A closed-form worst-case IR drop model is developed to enable projections of the wiring resource requirements of the power supply distribution networks of future microprocessors and ASICs. The model is then used to highlight the design trade-off between I/O requirements and global wiring area needed for power distribution across three generations. For the 2013 technology generation, the global wiring resources exceed 40% of the available if fewer than 10,000 I/Os are utilized for power and ground.

Towards Scalable Model Checking of Reflective Systems via Labeled Transition Systems (2022)

Reflection is a technique that enables a system to inspect or change its structure and/or behavior at runtime. It is a key enabler of many techniques for developing systems that have to function despite rapidly changing requirements and environments. A crucial issue in developing reflective systems is to ensure the correctness of their behaviors, because object-level behaviors are affected by metalevel behaviors. In this paper, we present an extended labeled transition system (LTS), which we call a metalevel LTS (MLTS), that supports data representation of another LTS for use in modeling a reflective tower. We show that two of the existing state reduction techniques for an LTS ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">symmetry reduction</i> and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">divergence-sensitive stutter bisimulation</i> ) are also applicable to an MLTS. Then, we introduce two strategies for implementing an MLTS model in Promela, thereby enabling verification with the SPIN model checker. We also present case studies of applying MLTSs to two reflection applications: self-adaptation of a reconnaissance robot system, and dynamic evolution of an Internet-of-things (IoT) system. The case studies demonstrate the applicability of our approach and its scalability improvement through the state reduction techniques.

Self-Actuated Paper and Wood Models: Low-Cost Handcrafted Biomimetic Compliant Systems for Research and Teaching (2021)

The abstraction and implementation of plant movement principles into biomimetic compliant systems are of increasing interest for technical applications, e.g., in architecture, medicine, and soft robotics. Within the respective research and development approaches, advanced methods such as 4D printing or 3D-braiding pultrusion are typically used to generate proof-of-concept demonstrators at the laboratory or demonstrator scale. However, such techniques are generally time-consuming, complicated, and cost-intensive, which often impede the rapid realization of a sufficient number of demonstrators for testing or teaching. Therefore, we have produced comparable simple handcrafted compliant systems based on paper, wood, plastic foil, and/or glue as construction materials. A variety of complex plant movement principles have been transferred into these low-cost physical demonstrators, which are self-actuated by shrinking processes induced by the anisotropic hygroscopic properties of wood or paper. The developed systems have a high potential for fast, precise, and low-cost abstraction and transfer processes in biomimetic approaches and for the "hands-on understanding" of plant movements in applied university and school courses.
Real-time network-storage for digital cameras (2012)

Cloud computing suggests that we can move computers from the desktop onto the network. In this paper we investigate the potential to reduce local storage for handheld devices such as digital cameras or smart-phones to the minimum required to acquire and buffer images until they can be offloaded onto local network storage. The required minimum storage for video and digital still images are analyzed and tested in a practical home networking environment. Our results indicate that as local connectivity becomes faster and more ubiquitous that next generation devices could automate the entire upload, sort and store cycle for personal digital media such as pictures and video clips.
Deep-Learning Methods for Parallel Magnetic Resonance Imaging Reconstruction: A Survey of the Current Approaches, Trends, and Issues (2020)

Following the success of deep learning in a wide range of applications, neural network-based machine learning techniques have received interest as a means of accelerating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A number of ideas inspired by deep learning techniques from computer vision and image processing have been successfully applied to non-linear image reconstruction in the spirit of compressed sensing for both low dose computed tomography and accelerated MRI. The additional integration of multi-coil information to recover missing k-space lines in the MRI reconstruction process, is still studied less frequently, even though it is the de-facto standard for currently used accelerated MR acquisitions. This manuscript provides an overview of the recent machine learning approaches that have been proposed specifically for improving parallel imaging. A general background introduction to parallel MRI is given that is structured around the classical view of image space and k-space based methods. Both linear and non-linear methods are covered, followed by a discussion of recent efforts to further improve parallel imaging using machine learning, and specifically using artificial neural networks. Image-domain based techniques that introduce improved regularizers are covered as well as k-space based methods, where the focus is on better interpolation strategies using neural networks. Issues and open problems are discussed as well as recent efforts for producing open datasets and benchmarks for the community.
Procedures to Mitigate the Impact of Solenopsis Invicta Virus 3 In Fire Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Rearing Facilities (2013)

caused by SINV-3 over the ensuing 3 years. We suspected that infectious SINV-3 particles were being disseminated in pieces of dried, friable ant corpses. Unlike SINV-1 and -2, which are limited to the midgut, the SINV-3 infection is systemic (Valles 2012). The extent of this suspected contamination was verified by conducting swab tests of the insectary for the presence of SINV-3 by RT-PCR. Surfaces of the floors and table tops in all 3 rearing areas, each in separate buildings at CMAVE were found contaminated with SINV-3 (mean 83%, n = 15). Indeed, dead ants in colonies often contained greater than 1 × 10 9 SINV-3
High Intensity Spintronic Terahertz Emitter with ITO and Microsheet Glass Structure (2022)

We demonstrate that an indium tin oxide (ITO) film and microsheet glass layer can be used to increase the intensity of terahertz (THz) radiation from spintronic THz emitters (STEs). In this work, the backward-radiated THz waves of a Pt/Fe bilayer are reflected by an ITO film and subsequently phase-controlled by a microsheet glass to constructively superimpose with forward-radiated THz waves, thereby enhancing the THz emission.
Information, Trade, and Common Knowledge (1979)

Abstract In any voluntary trading process, if agents have rational expectations, then it is common knowledge among them that the equilibrium trade is feasible and individually rational. This condition is used to show that when risk-averse traders begin at a Pareto optimal allocation (relative to their prior beliefs) and then receive private information (which disturbs the marginal conditions), they can still never agree to any non-null trade. On markets, information is revealed by price changes. An equilibrium with fully revealing price changes always exists, and even at other equilibria the information revealed by price changes “swamps” each trader's private information.
Genetic Predictors of Response to Systemic Therapy in Esophagogastric Cancer (2017)

The incidence of esophagogastric cancer is rapidly rising, but only a minority of patients derive durable benefit from current therapies. Chemotherapy as well as anti-HER2 and PD-1 antibodies are standard treatments. To identify predictive biomarkers of drug sensitivity and mechanisms of resistance, we implemented prospective tumor sequencing of patients with metastatic esophagogastric cancer. There was no association between homologous recombination deficiency defects and response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients with microsatellite instability-high tumors were intrinsically resistant to chemotherapy but more likely to achieve durable responses to immunotherapy. The single Epstein-Barr virus-positive patient achieved a durable, complete response to immunotherapy. The level of <i>ERBB2</i> amplification as determined by sequencing was predictive of trastuzumab benefit. Selection for a tumor subclone lacking <i>ERBB2</i> amplification, deletion of <i>ERBB2</i> exon 16, and comutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase, RAS, and PI3K pathways were associated with intrinsic and/or acquired trastuzumab resistance. Prospective genomic profiling can identify patients most likely to derive durable benefit to immunotherapy and trastuzumab and guide strategies to overcome drug resistance.<b>Significance:</b> Clinical application of multiplex sequencing can identify biomarkers of treatment response to contemporary systemic therapies in metastatic esophagogastric cancer. This large prospective analysis sheds light on the biological complexity and the dynamic nature of therapeutic resistance in metastatic esophagogastric cancers. <i>Cancer Discov; 8(1); 49-58. ©2017 AACR.</i><i>See related commentary by Sundar and Tan, p. 14</i><i>See related article by Pectasides et al., p. 37</i><i>This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1</i>.
Industrial-scale motor cogging torque control for a high-volume motor manufacturing (2015)

Rare Earth Permanent Magnet (REPM) motor acoustics plays an increasingly important role in automotive mechatronic components and systems, due to more vehicle electrification and ever-increasing market demand. A large number of factors affect PM motor acoustic behavior. One of major contributing factors is the motor cogging torque. This paper reports industrial practice and control of motor cogging torque level which must meet a high-demanding technical specification. Since there exist a wide spectrum of motor slot and pole number combinations with varying permanent magnet structures, 9-slot and 6-pole Surface-mounted PM (SPM) topology has been investigated in great details. It is found that permanent magnet rotor field quality has a sensitive and significant impact on the RE SPM cogging torque level during the high-volume motor manufacturing. With right diagnosis and analysis tool, rigorous specifications of active materials in particular PM, and manufacturing process, the cogging torque level can be reduced and controlled.
[POLYPEPTIDES INFLUENCE ON TISSUE CELL CULTURES REGENERATION OF VARIOUS AGE RATS]. (2015)

A comparative study of polypeptides extracted from the tissues of calves: Cortexin (from brain cortex), Epinorm (from pineal gland), Ventvil (from liver), Prostatilen (from prostate), Thymalin (from thymus), Chelohart (from heart), Chondrolux (from cartilage) on the relevant organotypic tissue cultures of young and old rats, in concentration 0,01-100 ng/ml was performed. Polypeptides specifically stimulated "young" and "old" cell cultures growth in concentration 20-50 ng/ml. This effect correlates with increasing of PCNA and decreasing of p53 expression in brain cortex, pineal gland, liver, prostate, heart, cartilage. Moreover, Thymalin activated CD5, CD20 expression--markers of B-cells differentiation. These data show that polypeptides isolated from different tissues have selective molecular activity on the regeneration of suitable tissues in aging.

Factors limiting sensitivity to binocular disparity in human vision: Evidence from a noise-masking approach (2020)

Our visual system uses the disparity between the images received by the two eyes to judge three-dimensional distance to surfaces. We can measure this ability by having subjects discriminate the disparity of rendered surfaces. We wanted to know the basis of the individual differences in this ability. We tested 53 adults with normal vision using a relative disparity detection task. Targets were wedge-shaped surfaces formed from random dots. These were presented in either crossed or uncrossed disparity relative to a random dot background. The threshold disparity ranged from 24 arc seconds in the most-able subject to 275 arc seconds in the least-able subject. There was a small advantage for detecting crossed-disparity targets. We used the noise-masking paradigm to partition subject performance into two factors. These were the subject's equivalent internal noise and their processing efficiency. The parameters were estimated by fitting the linear amplifier model. We found both factors contributed to the individual differences in stereoacuity. Within subjects, those showing an advantage for one disparity direction had enhanced efficiency for that direction. Some subjects had a higher equivalent internal noise for one direction that was balanced out by an increased efficiency. Our approach provides a more thorough account of the stereo-ability of our subjects compared with measuring thresholds alone. We present a normative set of results that can be compared with clinical populations.
Non-aqueous synthesis of mesostructured tin dioxide (2003)

Novel sodium glycostannate precursors have been synthesized from sodium stannate and glycol reactants. These anionic precursors were investigated as potential starting materials towards the assembly of mesostructured tin oxide. The glycostannate precursors could be charge balanced with cationic surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, in non-aqueous solutions to give composite structures in which the glycostannate anions remained structurally intact. Subsequent hydrolysis and condensation of these structures with acidic aqueous solutions gave mesostructured tin oxide materials. The initial formation and hydrolysis/condensation of these surfactant–glycostannate composites was followed by solid-state 119Sn NMR, thermal gravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. Calcination of the final materials at 400 °C led to collapse of the mesostructure. Future attempts to stabilize such mesostructures to calcination utilizing silane, sulfate, or phosphate protecting groups should allow the formation of electroactive mesoporous tin oxide materials.
