Analysis of interference-aware receivers in heterogeneous LTE networks (2013)

The concept of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) has been introduced in LTE-Advanced systems in order to improve overall capacity and cell-edge user performance. However, such uncoordinated deployments sharing the same spectrum present new interference issues that are difficult to combat with conventional interference management schemes. In this paper interference issues in a macro-femto scenario in LTE-Advanced downlink, where all eNodeBs allocate the same resources, have been investigated. The interference-unaware Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) receiver, the MRC receiver with prewhitening and an interference-aware receiver with switching principle are applied at the user equipment (UE) and their performance investigated for different interference levels using Monte-Carlo simulations. The results have shown that the interference-unaware MRC receiver is not suitable in HetNet deployments, as it saturates in error-floor at an intolerable bit error ratio. The MRC receiver with prewhitening mitigates the impact of interference and delivers acceptable performance. However, further improvements can be achieved by applying the interference-aware receiver with switching principle. To combat interference in interference rich scenarios, a switching principle between the MRC receiver with prewhitening and non-linear interference cancellation with prewhitening has been introduced and its performance investigated. The results have shown that by cancelling the interference only when necessary, the interference-aware receiver with switching principle can guarantee robust and reliable performance in interference rich scenarios. When the amount of interference decreases, the MRC receiver with prewhitening is sufficient for data reception.
The ICSI+ multilingual sentence segmentation system (2006)

The ICSI+ multilingual sentence segmentation with results for English and Mandarin broadcast news automatic speech recognizer transcriptions represents a joint effort involving ICSI, SRI, and UT Dallas. Our approach is based on using hidden event language models for exploiting lexical information, and maximum entropy and boosting classifiers for exploiting lexical, as well as prosodic, speaker change and syntactic information. We demonstrate that the proposed methodology including pitch- and energyrelated prosodic features performs significantly better than a baseline system that uses words and simple pause features only. Furthermore, the obtained improvements are consistent across both languages, and no language-specific adaptation of the methodology is necessary. The best results were achieved by combining hidden event language models with a boosting-based classifier that to our knowledge has not previously been applied for this task. Index Terms: maximum entropy, boosting, hidden event language models, prosody
Patterning Lines by Capillary Flows (2006)

We report that capillary flows in an evaporating thin film create line patterns, with widths ranging from a few micrometers to less than 100 nm. Deliberate patterning of such lines requires contact-line pinning and the presence of foaming surfactants. Large-scale photolithography can guide and control these structures by creating pinning points and steering evaporation. We provide demonstrations of this process by making self-assembling lines of colloidal quantum dots and microspheres.
Viscosity of Polymer Solutions and Molecular Weight Characterization (2023)

Since the pioneering research by Staudinger on dilute solution viscosity and its relation to the polymer molecular weight, viscosity analysis has become a valuable technique for polymer characterization. The conventional approach is based on the Huggins approximation of the solution-specific viscosity by a quadratic function of concentration, <i>c</i>. We show how to reformulate this approach in a universal form by representing a solution-specific viscosity, η<sub>sp</sub>, as a generalized universal function η<sub>sp</sub>(c) = α(<i>c</i>/<i>c</i>*) + (1 - α)(<i>c</i>/<i>c</i>*)<sup>2</sup> of chain overlap concentration, <i>c</i>*, determined at η<sub>sp</sub> = 1, with numerical coefficients α = 0.745 ± 0.005 for good and 0.625 ± 0.008 for a θ solvent. This viscosity representation can be viewed as a calibration curve for molecular weight determination from a measurement of the solution viscosity at a given solution concentration. Furthermore, the molecular weight dependence of the overlap concentration provides a means for quantifying the polymer/solvent affinity and the solvent effect on chain flexibility. The extension of the approach to semidilute solutions opens a path for obtaining molecular weight in a broad concentration range without requiring a dilution and monitoring its change during the polymerization reaction from solution viscosity.
Improved Analytically Derived CO<sub>2</sub> Prediction of Medium Duty Chassis-Certified Vehicles (2019)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Medium duty vehicles come in many design variations, which makes testing them all for CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; impractical. As a result there are multiple ways of reporting CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; emissions. Actual tests may be performed, data substitution may be used, or CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; values may be estimated using an analytical correction. The correction accounts for variations in road load force coefficients (f&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;, f&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;, f&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;), weight, and axle ratio. The EPA Analytically Derived CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; equation (EPA ADC) was defined using a limited set of historical data. The prediction error is shown to be ±130 g/mile and the sensitivities to design variables are found to be incorrect. Since the absolute CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; is between 500 and 1,000 g/mi, the equation has limited usefulness. Previous work on light duty vehicles has demonstrated a linear relationship between vehicle fuel consumption, powertrain properties and total vehicle work. This relationship improves the accuracy and avoids co-linearity and non-orthogonality of the input variables. The proposed equation reduces the prediction error to ± 35 g/mile and gives correct sensitivities to design parameters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Efficient path profiling (2002)

A path profile determines how many times each acyclic path in a routine executes. This type of profiling subsumes the more common basic block and edge profiling, which only approximate path frequencies. Path profiles have many potential uses in program performance tuning, profile-directed compilation, and software test coverage. This paper describes a new algorithm for path profiling. This simple, fast algorithm selects and places profile instrumentation to minimize run-time overhead. Instrumented programs run with overhead comparable to the best previous profiling techniques. On the SPEC95 benchmarks, path profiling overhead averaged 31%, as compared to 16% for efficient edge profiling. Path profiling also identifies longer paths than a previous technique, which predicted paths from edge profiles (average of 88, versus 34 instructions). Moreover, profiling shows that the SPEC95 train input datasets covered most of the paths executed in the ref datasets.
A Supramolecular Array of Fullerenes by Quadruple Hydrogen Bonding These investigations were financially supported by the Dutch Ministries of EZ, O&W, and VROM through the EET program (EETK97115). We thank Prof. Bert Meijer and his co-workers for sharing their know-how and open discussions. (2002)

Bucky balls and chains: The quadruple hydrogen-bonded fullerene array 1 was synthesized and fully characterized. In the highly dynamic polymeric state, the chemical integrity of the monomeric moiety is fully preserved, also with respect to its redox and UV/Vis behavior.

Data from p95HER2 Methionine 611 Carboxy-Terminal Fragment Is Predictive of Trastuzumab Adjuvant Treatment Benefit in the FinHer Trial (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; Expression of p95HER2 (p95), a truncated form of the HER2 receptor, which lacks the trastuzumab binding site but retains kinase activity, has been reported as a prognostic biomarker for poor outcomes in patients with trastuzumab-treated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. The impact of p95 expression on trastuzumab treatment efficacy in early HER2-positive breast cancer is less clear. In the current study, p95 was tested as a predictive marker of trastuzumab treatment benefit in the HER2-positive subset of the FinHer adjuvant phase III trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; In the FinHer trial, 232 patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer were randomized to receive chemotherapy plus 9 weeks of trastuzumab or no trastuzumab treatment. Quantitative p95 protein expression was measured in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples using the p95 VeraTag assay (Monogram Biosciences), specific for the M611 form of p95. Quantitative HER2 protein expression was measured using the HERmark assay (Monogram Biosciences). Distant disease-free survival (DDFS) was used as the primary outcome measure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; In the arm receiving chemotherapy only, increasing log&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt;(p95) correlated with shorter DDFS (HR, 2.0; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.02). In the arm receiving chemotherapy plus trastuzumab (&lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt; = 95), increasing log&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt;(p95) was not correlated with a shorter DDFS. In a combined analysis of both treatment arms, high breast tumor p95 content was significantly correlated with trastuzumab treatment benefit in multivariate models (interaction &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; = 0.01).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; A high p95HER2/HER2 ratio identified patients with metastatic breast cancer with poor outcomes on trastuzumab-based therapies. Further investigation of the p95HER2/HER2 ratio as a potential prognostic or predictive biomarker for HER2-targeted therapy is warranted. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 24(13); 3046–52. ©2018 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Laser Writing of 2D Nanostructures in Silver-Doped Phosphate Glass (2019)

Laser induced new optical properties in the bulk of glasses is a promising tool for photonic applications, such as optical data storage technologies, integrated photonic circuits or microfluidics based on laser-induced chemical etching selectivity. The metal-doped glasses are good candidates for direct laser writing because of the metal clusterization, formation of cluster nanostructures (NSs) and nanoparticles under irradiation and/or thermal treatment leading to the emergence of new optical properties [1]. Here we focus on the specific case of silver-doped phosphate glass irradiated by a train of femtosecond laser pulses. Silver clusterization and charge separation processes are induced in the glass by the laser irradiation, leading to the formation of silver NS and of a static electric field. This static electric field is responsible for a local centrosymmetry breakdown and the appearance of an effective second order nonlinearity in the tailored glass. The goal of this work is to describe theoretically the process of silver NS formation, space charge separation and stabilization, and subsequently the creation of second order nonlinearity in the laser-irradiated phosphate glass, to understand and to optimize this process.
Amplified Transmission Beyond C- and L- Bands: Bismuth Doped Fiber Amplifier for O-Band Transmission (2022)

Optical amplification beyond C- and L-bands may be a promising solution to increase the capacity of transmission systems. In this paper we reviewed different amplification technologies, including semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA), Raman amplifiers and doped fiber amplifiers briefly discussing their advantages and disadvantages. We found that while a variety of amplification solutions are available, they have not been implemented in practical systems because, until recently, C- and L- bands EDFA amplified systems provided sufficient capacity, and the lack of a complete optical components ecosystem. The O-band (1260–1360 nm) may be a notable exception since it has been used for decades for unamplified point-to-point transmission near fiber zero dispersion wavelength. Overall capacity demand and power budget reduction caused by the bit rate increase of pluggable modules promises to make O-band amplification an attractive solution. We present simple broadband O-band bismuth doped fiber amplifier (BDFA) with characteristics similar to, or above commercially available EDFAs. We demonstrated that BDFAs can amplify the entire O-band and a single stage amplifier can deliver 20 dB gain, 18 dBm output power and 5.5 dB noise figure over the 3-dB bandwidth greater than 60 nm. We illustrated the application of BDFAs by transmitting signals from a commercial 400 Gb/s 8-channel LAN-WDM transponder, operating within the IEEE standardized band, over 50 km of legacy G.652 fiber. We also demonstrated high power BDFA capable of delivering more than 700 mW of optical power without inducing measurable nonlinear distortion to intensity modulated signal propagating over a dispersive fiber waveguide.
Alignment control of ferroelectric liquid crystals using polyimide films spread on water surface. (1990)

A new alignment method for liquid crystals was studied. A uniform alignment was obtained by the deposition of a polyimide film spread on the water surface on a glass substrate without rubbing process. The orientation of polymer chains was effected by stretching on the water surface. When the re moval velocity of the film was higher, the alignment of polymer chains became higher, and the alignment quality of liquid crystal molecules became better. Even when the main chain of the polymer molecule was not linear, the higher ordering of the liquid crystal molecules was achieved.
Outage Capacity of Rayleigh Product Channels: a Free Probability Approach (2015)

The Rayleigh product channel model is useful in capturing the performance degradation due to rank deficiency of MIMO channels. In this paper, such a performance degradation is investigated via the channel outage probability assuming slowly varying channel with delay-constrained decoding. Using techniques of free probability theory, the asymptotic variance of channel capacity is derived when the dimensions of the channel matrices approach infinity. In this asymptotic regime, the channel capacity is rigorously proven to be Gaussian distributed. Using the obtained results, a fundamental tradeoff between multiplexing gain and diversity gain of Rayleigh product channels can be characterized by closed-form expression at any finite signal-to-noise ratio. Numerical results are provided to compare the relative outage performance between Rayleigh product channels and conventional Rayleigh MIMO channels.
Blind Known Interference Cancellation with parallel real valued belief propagation algorithm (2012)

This paper investigates interference-cancellation schemes at the receiver, in which the original data of the interference is known a priori. Such a priori knowledge is common in wireless relay networks. Directly removing the known interference requires accurate estimate of the interference channel, which may be difficult in many situations. In [1], we proposed a novel scheme, Blind Known Interference Cancellation (BKIC), for blind cancellation of known interference without interference channel information. BKIC consists of two steps. The first step combines adjacent symbols to cancel the interference, exploiting the fact that the channel coefficients are almost the same between successive symbols. After such interference cancellation, however, the signal of interest is also distorted. The second step recovers the signal of interest amidst the distortion. Two schemes for the second step, BKIC-S and successive BKIC-RBP, were proposed in [1]. BKIC-S removes distortion by smoothing while BKIC-RBP does so using a real-value belief propagation algorithm. Although successive BKIC-RBP performs well and is superior to BKIC-S, it requires a long processing time proportional to the packet length. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a parallel BKIC-RBP algorithm. Parallel BKIC-RBP has similar performance as successive BKIC-RBP. It has the advantage of being amenable to parallel implementation with a much shorter processing time.
Receptor dimer stabilization by hierarchical plasma membrane microcompartments regulates cytokine signaling (2016)

The interaction dynamics of signaling complexes is emerging as a key determinant that regulates the specificity of cellular responses. We present a combined experimental and computational study that quantifies the consequences of plasma membrane microcompartmentalization for the dynamics of type I interferon receptor complexes. By using long-term dual-color quantum dot (QD) tracking, we found that the lifetime of individual ligand-induced receptor heterodimers depends on the integrity of the membrane skeleton (MSK), which also proved important for efficient downstream signaling. By pair correlation tracking and localization microscopy as well as by fast QD tracking, we identified a secondary confinement within ~300-nm-sized zones. A quantitative spatial stochastic diffusion-reaction model, entirely parameterized on the basis of experimental data, predicts that transient receptor confinement by the MSK meshwork allows for rapid reassociation of dissociated receptor dimers. Moreover, the experimentally observed apparent stabilization of receptor dimers in the plasma membrane was reproduced by simulations of a refined, hierarchical compartment model. Our simulations further revealed that the two-dimensional association rate constant is a key parameter for controlling the extent of MSK-mediated stabilization of protein complexes, thus ensuring the specificity of this effect. Together, experimental evidence and simulations support the hypothesis that passive receptor confinement by MSK-based microcompartmentalization promotes maintenance of signaling complexes in the plasma membrane.
Unique crystal structures of donor–acceptor complexes: crossed arrangement of two charge-transfer columns (2002)

Unique crystal structures containing two kinds of crossed charge-transfer (CT) columns are demonstrated by cocrystals consisting of ion pairs of acceptors of methyl viologen and anthraquinone disulfonate derivatives and a donor, hydroquinone, mediated by electrostatic and donor-acceptor (DA) interactions.

Multisubstituted C2-symmetric ansa-metallocenes bearing nitrogen heterocycles: influence of substituents on catalytic properties in propylene polymerization at higher temperatures (2021)

In this work we systematically studied the effects of modifications of substituents on the performance of the isospecific zirconocene-based catalyst family, Me2Si(2-Alk-4-(N-carbazolyl)Ind)ZrX2 (X = Cl, Me), wherein the progenitor was shown to be particularly suitable in high-temperature propylene polymerization processes. In order to obtain the required zirconocenes, we developed a novel synthetic pathway to 4-(N-carbazolyl)indenes through Pd-catalyzed cyclizations of 2,2'-dibromobiaryls with 4-aminoindenes, which were synthesized via Buchwald-Hartwig reaction or electrophilic amination of 4-indenyl Grignard reagents with trimethylsilylmethyl azide. By a number of examples, the anion-promoted rac-to-meso isomerization method was shown to work reliably well for preparation of rac-ZrMe2-complexes. Certain zirconocenes among the 21 tested in propylene polymerization at 70 and 100 °C under MAO or borate activation outperformed the parent catalyst in molecular weight capability, regio- or stereoselectivity.
