Transcardiac Pericardiocentesis: (2003)

Life-threatening cardiac tamponade is one of the most serious complications of catheter-based cardiac procedures. Although most cases can be effectively treated by percutaneous pericardiocentesis, urgent surgical drainage is required in unsuccessful cases. Rarely, in collapsed patients, the delay for surgery, however minimal, may be fatal. We describe a technique whereby life-saving pericardial drainage was rapidly achieved via a novel transcardiac approach, using the transseptal puncture kit, after failure of conventional pericardiocentesis in a patient with procedure-related acute tamponade who rapidly deteriorated and developed cardiorespiratory arrest within a few minutes. Although surgical repair for the perforation had to be performed subsequently, the patient survived without sequelae. This transcardiac approach may be an important and potentially life-saving adjunctive technique after failure of conventional pericardiocentesis in rapidly deteriorating or extremely unstable patients.

Elucidating the Requirements for Reversible Magnesium Electrodeposition and Dissolution (2015)

We compare the electrochemistry of Mg deposition and stripping from three Mg-battery electrolytes: EtMgBr, Mg(AlCl 2 EtBu) 2 , and MgCl 2 -AlCl 3 . These electrolytes represent three generations of progress in Mg-battery development, and include a simple Grignard reagent, an organohaloaluminate, and an all inorganic system, respectively. Our electrochemical measurements coupled with surface and bulk analytical techniques elucidate the requirements for reversible Mg deposition and definitively establish that voltammetric cycling of the electrolyte significantly alters their composition and performance. In the cases of EtMgBr and Mg(AlCl 2 EtBu) 2 , electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements demonstrate that mass is gained and lost from the electrode with relatively high efficiency. However, the charge passed during stripping is consistently less than that passed during deposition, resulting in chronoamperometric charge efficiencies between 80-100% for EtMgBr and 50-70% for Mg(AlCl 2 EtBu) 2 . SEM-EDS analysis of electrode surfaces demonstrates irreversible Mg deposition and stripping. GC-MS and NMR analysis of electrolytes reveal decomposition of the solvent-electrolyte system. For the all inorganic system containing MgCl 2 -AlCl 3 in THF, elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) results demonstrate that irreversible Mg and Al deposits form during early cycles. Electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data show that inhibitory oligomers develop in THF-based solutions. These oligomers form via the well-established mechanism of a cationic ring-opening polymerization of THF during the initial synthesis of the MgCl 2 -AlCl 3 electrolyte and under resting conditions. In contrast, solutions containing MgCl 2 -AlCl 3 in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), an acyclic solvent, do not evolve as dramatically at open circuit potential. From these results, we propose a mechanism describing how the conditioning process of MgCl 2 -AlCl 3 in THF improves its performance by both tuning the Mg:Al stoichiometry and eliminating oligomers. We also explore the role that other solvents and metal chlorides play in the properties of inorganic Mg-battery electrolytes.
Moments and Deviations (1995)

IN Chapters 1 and 2, we bounded the expected running times of several randomized algorithms. While the expectation of a random variable (such as a running time) may be small, it may frequently assume values that are far higher. In analyzing the performance of a randomized algorithm, we often like to show that the behavior of the algorithm is good almost all the time. For example, it is more desirable to show that the running time is small with high probability, not just that it has a small expectation. In this chapter we will begin the study of general methods for proving statements of this type. We will begin by examining a family of stochastic processes that is fundamental to the analysis of many randomized algorithms: these are called occupancy problems. This motivates the study (in this chapter and the next) of general bounds on the probability that a random variable deviates far from its expectation, enabling us to avoid such custom-made analyses. The probability that a random variable deviates by a given amount from its expectation is referred to as a tail probability for that deviation. Readers wishing to review basic material on probability and distributions may consult Appendix C.
Gas sorption‐induced dilation of poly(4‐methyl‐1‐pentene) (1996)

Sorption and volume dilation isotherms of semicrystalline poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) were measured using CO2 and C3H8 as penetrants, which have sieving diameters of 3.3 and 4.3 Å, respectively. On the other hand, the PMP crystal has a void width of approximately 4 Å as estimated by X-ray diffraction, so it was anticipated that CO2 would be able to sorb into the PMP crystal while C3H8 would not. The data show that C3H8 has a constant partial molar volume of approximately 87 cc/mol, just above the value reported in other rubbery polymers, and are consistent with the hypothesis that the C3H8 molecules are too large to sorb into the PMP crystals. The partial molar volume of CO2 was found to be 39 cc/mol for CO2 weight fractions of up to 0.03. Since the typical partial molar volume of CO2 in rubbery materials is 46 cc/mol, the lower values in this study were attributed to CO2 sorption into crystalline regions of the polymer, which provided no dilation. Application of a two-phase model using the assumption of Henry's law sorption showed that apparently all C3H8 sorption was occurring in the amorphous region but approximately 16% of CO2 sorption occurred in the crystalline regions. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

RF circuit block modeling via Kriging surrogates (2008)

The use of replacement metamodels (global surrogate models) has become commonplace as a cost effective alternative for performing complex high fidelity computer simulations. Due to their compact formulation and negligible evaluation time, global surrogate models are very useful tools for exploring the design space, what-if analysis, optimization, and sensitivity analysis. In addition, multiple surrogate models can be chained together to easily model large scale systems where a direct, full-wave simulation would be too cumbersome. Two crucial aspects of global surrogate modeling are data collection (sequential design) and hyperparameter optimization. Kriging models have become very popular in many domains but have seen little application in electronics and Electro-Magnetism. In this paper we study the impact of different hyperparameter optimization algorithms and sampling strategies on the accuracy of Kriging models as applied to a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) RF circuit block.
Characterizing Alert and Browse Services of Mobile Clients (2002)

There is a fair amount of evidence that suggests that Internet access from wirelessly-connected mobile handheld devices is gaining popularity. However, there haven&amp;apos;t been too many studies that have focused solely on analyzing the wireless Internet. In this paper, we study the notification and browse services provided by a large commercial web site designed specifically for users who access it via their cell-phones and PDAs. Unlike previous web studies that have analyzed browse services provided over wired networks, we focus primarily on browse and notification services provided over wireless channels. Specifically, we analyze the notification and browser traces to understand the system load, the type of content accessed, and user behavior. We discuss the implications of our findings for techniques such as multicast, query caching and optimization, and transport protocol design.

Performance degradations and monitoring in optical networks (2004)

nonlinearities [1]. Typically, systems are designed such that these degrading effects are eitherminimized or compensated (e.g., using compensation fibers and devices). It has been widelyrecognized that as domains of transparency get larger, data rates of 10 Gb/s and higher becomemore common, and channel spacings are reduced, physical impairments will become a significantissue in making routing decisions within optical transmission systems and networks [2, 3] .
Global Seroprevalence of Pre-existing Immunity Against AAV5 and Other AAV Serotypes in People with Hemophilia A (2022)

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy may provide durable protection from bleeding events and reduce treatment burden for people with hemophilia A (HA). However, pre-existing immunity against AAV may limit transduction efficiency and hence treatment success. Global data on the prevalence of AAV serotypes are limited. In this global, prospective, noninterventional study, we determined the prevalence of pre-existing immunity against AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, and AAVrh10 among people ≥12 years of age with HA and residual FVIII levels ≤2 IU/dL. Antibodies against each serotype were detected using validated, electrochemiluminescent-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. To evaluate changes in antibody titers over time, 20% of participants were retested at 3 and 6 months. In total, 546 participants with HA were enrolled at 19 sites in 9 countries. Mean (standard deviation) age at enrollment was 36.0 (14.87) years, including 12.5% younger than 18 years, and 20.0% 50 years of age and older. On day 1, global seroprevalence was 58.5% for AAV2, 34.8% for AAV5, 48.7% for AAV6, 45.6% for AAV8, and 46.0% for AAVrh10. Considerable geographic variability was observed in the prevalence of pre-existing antibodies against each serotype, but AAV5 consistently had the lowest seroprevalence across the countries studied. AAV5 seropositivity rates were 51.8% in South Africa (<i>n</i> = 56), 46.2% in Russia (<i>n</i> = 91), 40% in Italy (<i>n</i> = 20), 37.2% in France (<i>n</i> = 86), 26.8% in the United States (<i>n</i> = 71), 26.9% in Brazil (<i>n</i> = 26), 28.1% in Germany (<i>n</i> = 89), 29.8% in Japan (<i>n</i> = 84), and 5.9% in the United Kingdom (<i>n</i> = 17). For all serotypes, seropositivity tended to increase with age. Serostatus and antibody titer were generally stable over the 6-month sampling period. As clinical trials of AAV-mediated gene therapies progress, data on the natural prevalence of antibodies against various AAV serotypes may become increasingly important.
Study of the KS0KS0 final state in two-photon collisions (1995)

The reaction e+e− → e+e−γ∗γ∗ → e+e−KS0KS0 is studied with the L3 detector at LEP and the formation of the f2′(1525) resonance is observed. For an integrated luminosity of 114 pb−1, 31±6 f2′ events are found. Their angular distribution is consistent with a pure helicity two. The radiative width times the branching ratio is measured to be Γγγ(f2′)×Br(f2′ → KK)=(0.093±0.018±0.022) keV. Only three events are found in the f2(1270)−a2(1320) mass region, consistent with destructive f2−a2 interference in the KS0KS0 final state. The mixing angle of the tensor meson nonet is determined to the θ = (29.4−1.6+1.4)°.
Networked user engagement (2013)

Online providers frequently offer a variety of services, ranging from news to mail. These providers endeavour to keep users accessing and interacting with the sites offering these services, that is to engage users by spending time on these sites and returning regularly to them. The standard approach to evaluate engagement with a site is by measuring engagement metrics of each site separately. However, when assessing engagement within a network of sites, it is crucial to take into account the traffic between sites. This paper proposes a methodology for studying networked used engagement. We represent sites (nodes) and user traffic (edges) between them as a network, and apply complex network metrics to study networked user engagement. We demonstrate the value of these metrics when applied to 728 services offered by Yahoo!~with a sample of 2M users and a total of 25M online sessions.

A normal data base of posteroanterior roentgenographic measurements of the wrist. (1992)

In 120 adults, we measured the dominant wrist on posteroanterior roentgenograms in order to determine the normal dimensions and variations according to age and sex. Men and women were equally represented as were two age-groups (twenty-five to forty years and forty-one to sixty years). The roentgenograms were made, with standard exposure and development techniques, with the wrist and forearm in a neutral position and the x-ray tube aligned vertical to the radial styloid. The roentgenogram that was made with the wrist in the mid-coronal plane was digitized and was used to measure distances between specified landmarks. The mean ulnar variance was -0.9 millimeter (normal range, -4.2 to 2.3 millimeters). The average carpal height ratio was 53 per cent (normal range, 46 to 61 per cent). The mean radial inclination was 24 degrees (range, 19 to 29 degrees). The carpal-radial and carpal-ulnar ratios were smaller in women. The width of the distal radio-ulnar joint was reduced in the older subjects. There was a significant positive relationship (p < 0.0001) between the maximum force reached and the length of the third metacarpal. We believe that information concerning the normal roentgenographic measurements and relationship between the bones of the wrist can be used (1) to follow the progression of carpal instabilities, osteonecrosis, osteoarthrosis, or rheumatoid arthritis; (2) in clinical research; and (3) in the design of wrist implants.
Detailed 3D models of the induced electric field of transcranial magnetic stimulation coils (2007)

Previous models neglected contributions from current elements spanning the full geometric extent of wires in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils. A detailed account of TMS coil wiring geometry is shown to provide significant improvements in the accuracy of electric field (E-field) models. Modeling E-field dependence based on the TMS coil's wire width, height, shape and number of turns clearly improved the fit of calculated-to-measured E-fields near the coil body. Detailed E-field models were accurate up to the surface of the coil body (within 0.5% of measured) where simple models were often inadequate (up to 32% different from measured).
Data from Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) Score Predicts Response to Platinum-Containing Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients with Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;BRCA1/2&lt;/i&gt;-mutated and some sporadic triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) have DNA repair defects and are sensitive to DNA-damaging therapeutics. Recently, three independent DNA-based measures of genomic instability were developed on the basis of loss of heterozygosity (LOH), telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI), and large-scale state transitions (LST).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; We assessed a combined homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score, an unweighted sum of LOH, TAI, and LST scores, in three neoadjuvant TNBC trials of platinum-containing therapy. We then tested the association of HR deficiency, defined as HRD score ≥42 or &lt;i&gt;BRCA1/2&lt;/i&gt; mutation, with response to platinum-based therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; In a trial of neoadjuvant platinum, gemcitabine, and iniparib, HR deficiency predicted residual cancer burden score of 0 or I (RCB 0/I) and pathologic complete response (pCR; OR = 4.96, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.0036; OR = 6.52, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.0058). HR deficiency remained a significant predictor of RCB 0/I when adjusted for clinical variables (OR = 5.86, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.012). In two other trials of neoadjuvant cisplatin therapy, HR deficiency predicted RCB 0/I and pCR (OR = 10.18, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.0011; OR = 17.00, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.0066). In a multivariable model of RCB 0/I, HR deficiency retained significance when clinical variables were included (OR = 12.08, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.0017). When restricted to &lt;i&gt;BRCA1/2&lt;/i&gt; nonmutated tumors, response was higher in patients with high HRD scores: RCB 0/I &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.062, pCR &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.063 in the neoadjuvant platinum, gemcitabine, and iniparib trial; RCB 0/I &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.0039, pCR &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.018 in the neoadjuvant cisplatin trials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; HR deficiency identifies TNBC tumors, including &lt;i&gt;BRCA1/2&lt;/i&gt; nonmutated tumors more likely to respond to platinum-containing therapy. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 22(15); 3764–73. ©2016 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Interferon-mediated inhibition of human polyclonal immunoglobulin synthesis. (1982)

Human lymphoblastoid IFN suppressed human polyclonal Ig synthesis in a dose-related manner, with 71% mean inhibition of antibody production found when 1000 units of IFN were added to the cultures. This suppression was demonstrated to be mediated by an electrophoretically pure preparation of IFN. Furthermore, IFN inhibition of both the T-dependent and the T-independent polyclonal activators was not the result of direct cellular cytotoxicity. IFN-mediated suppression of human polyclonal Ig production does not result from induction of T suppressor cells, and in a T helper cell-independent system this inhibition appears to result from either a direct action on the B cells or an indirect effect via monocytes.
Electron paramagnetic resonance study of size and nonstoichiometry effects on magnetic ordering in half-doped La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 manganite (2010)

The X-band electron paramagnetic resonance in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 was studied. Fitting the measured temperature dependence of the EPR linewidth and intensity to established models were employed to probe the effects of finite-size and nonstoichiometry. Regarding these effects, the complex mixed magnetic ordering inherent in bulk samples was shown to be unstable. The antiferromagnetic (AFM) and charge ordered component is suppressed in nanosamples. But the ferromagnetic (FM) state, appearing in nanograins, is frustrated due to (i) an AFM-like core-shell interaction and (ii) a strong spin disorder at the surfaces and core-shell transition layers. In addition, a weak nonstoichiometry which does not affect the crystal structure in bulk induces a strong decrease of the FM component in its magnetic ground state.
Enhanced Graphene Photodetector with Fractal Metasurface (2016)

Graphene has been demonstrated to be a promising photodetection material because of its ultrabroadband optical absorption, compatibility with CMOS technology, and dynamic tunability in optical and electrical properties. However, being a single atomic layer thick, graphene has intrinsically small optical absorption, which hinders its incorporation with modern photodetecting systems. In this work, we propose a gold snowflake-like fractal metasurface design to realize broadband and polarization-insensitive plasmonic enhancement in graphene photodetector. We experimentally obtain an enhanced photovoltage from the fractal metasurface that is an order of magnitude greater than that generated at a plain gold–graphene edge and such an enhancement in the photovoltage sustains over the entire visible spectrum. We also observed a relatively constant photoresponse with respect to polarization angles of incident light, as a result of the combination of two orthogonally oriented concentric hexagonal fractal geometries in one metasurface.
[Treatment of bladder outlet obstruction secondary to suburethral tape by section of the tape]. (2006)

The treatment of chronic bladder outlet obstruction after retropubic TVT placement to treat stress urinary incontinence by single lateral urethral section of this tape is a simple and effective technique with low morbidity, accompanied by a very low urinary incontinence recurrence rate.
Design and Installation Aspects of the Kikeh TAD/SPAR Lashing System (2010)

The Kikeh field, owned by Murphy and Petronas Carigali was the first time to use a Spar platform outside of the Gulf of Mexico and also the first time to use a semi-submersible Tender Assist Drilling Unit (TADU) for drilling along a Spar. This paper presents the design and installation aspects of the lashing system of the TADU and the Dry Tree Unit (DTU) Spar for the Kikeh project. The utilization of the TADU in the Kikeh field significantly reduces the weight and cost of the topsides of the Spar and increases the drilling efficiency. In the mean time it has posed a challenging job for the engineers to design the lashing system for the two floaters. This paper will discuss the TADU/DTU concept and benefits along with TADU lashing system design philosophy, design criteria and environment. Different phases of the design process will be discussed in detail, including concept selection, numerical analysis and model test. Several design concepts including the selected design and other alternatives will be explored with pros and cons of each concept explained. Characteristics of the two body motions and lashing tensions will be demonstrated. The selection of the nylon rope and hardware for the lashing system will be discussed. Analysis methodology and modeling of the TADU/DTU lashing system will be discussed. Model test results will be compared with the analytical predictions. Due to the complex nature of the systems and limitation of the analytical tools, model test served as an important tool in the design process. We will show how the results influenced the design of the gangway between the TADU and the DTU. The installation procedures of the TADU mooring and lashing systems will also be presented.
