In-situ and stand-off sensing using QC/IC laser technology from 3-100 microns (2005)

Recent advances in current-pumped, bandgap-engineered semiconductor lasers have dramatically impacted laser-based sensor concepts for in-situ trace species measurement and standoff sensing applications. These devices allow a common technology platform to access strong fundamental vibrational absorption transitions of many gases, liquids, and solids in the mid-wave and long-wave IR, as well as far-IR, or THz. The THz wavelength region is particularly interesting for applications related to structure penetrating detection of hidden materials and biomolecular spectroscopy. This presentation will briefly review the important properties of these lasers as they apply to sensor design and present highlights of recent sensor development activity for trace gas analysis in environmental and biomedical applications, remote sensing LIDAR systems, and detection of hidden explosives.
Proteins of hepatitis B surface antigen (1977)

Purified 22-nm forms of hepatitis B surface antigen (Hbsag) representing the three major antigenic subtypes (adw, ayw, and adr) were analyzed for their constituent polypeptides by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. No consistent difference in either the number or relative distributions of the polypeptides was observed for the various subtypes. Seven polypeptides were designated as P-1 through P-7 in order of their decreasing mobilities. By comparison with protein standards, their molecular weights were estimated as 23, 29.5, 36, 41.5, 53.5, 72, and 97 thousand. The P-1 and P-2 components represented the major polypeptides; P-2 and P-5 might by glycoproteins, based on their reaction with periodic acid-Shiff reagent. Each polypeptide contains cysteine residues. HBSAg was radiolabeled with 3H or 14C by reductive methylation or iodinated with 125I by the chloramine-T or lactoperoxidase procedures. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of labeled HBSAg yielded patterns identical to those obtained with protein stain. Comparison of HBSAg labeled by the chloramine-T and lactoperoxide procedures indicated that there was no distinction between internal or external components within the 22-nm structure.
Longevity and the genetic determination of collagen glycoxidation kinetics in mammalian senescence. (1996)

A fundamental question in the basic biology of aging is whether there is a universal aging process. If indeed such a process exists, one would expect that it develops at a higher rate in short- versus long-lived species. We have quantitated pentosidine, a marker of glycoxidative stress in skin collagen from eight mammalian species as a function of age. A curvilinear increase was modeled for all species, and the rate of increase correlated inversely with maximum life-span. Dietary restriction, a potent intervention associated with increased life-span, markedly inhibited glycoxidation rate in the rodent. On the assumption that collagen turnover rate is primarily influenced by the crosslinking due to glycoxidation, these results suggest that there is a progressive age-related deterioration of the process that controls the collagen glycoxidation rate. Thus, the ability to withstand damage due to glycoxidation and the Maillard reaction may be under genetic control.
Robust 6DOF Motion Estimation for Non-Overlapping, Multi-Camera Systems (2008)

This paper introduces a novel, robust approach for 6DOF motion estimation of a multi-camera system with non-overlapping views. The proposed approach is able to solve the pose estimation, including scale, for a two camera system with non-overlapping views. In contrast to previous approaches, it degrades gracefully if the motion is close to degenerate. For degenerate motions the technique estimates the remaining 5DOF. The proposed technique is evaluated on real and synthetic sequences.
Data from Hsp27 Inhibition with OGX-427 Sensitizes Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells to Erlotinib and Chemotherapy (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequent cause of death from cancer worldwide. Despite the availability of active chemotherapy regimens and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, all advanced patients develop recurrent disease after first-line therapy. Although Hsp27 is a stress-induced chaperone that promotes acquired resistance in several cancers, its relationship to treatment resistance in NSCLC has not been defined. Understanding adaptive responses of acquired resistance will help guide new strategies to control NSCLC. Hsp27 levels were evaluated in an HCC827 erlotinib-resistant–derived cell line (HCC-827&lt;sub&gt;Resistant&lt;/sub&gt;), and sensitivity to erlotinib was examined in Hsp27-overexpressing A549 cells. The role of Hsp27 in both erlotinib and cytotoxic treatment resistance was evaluated in HCC-827 and A549 NSCLC cells using the Hsp27 antisense drug OGX-427. The effect of OGX-427 in combination with erlotinib was also assessed in mice bearing A549 xenografts. Hsp27 is induced by erlotinib and protects NSCLC cells from treatment-induced apoptosis, whereas OGX-427 sensitizes NSCLC cells to erlotinib. Interestingly, increased resistance to erlotinib was observed when Hsp27 was increased either in HCC827 erlotinib-resistant or overexpressing A549 cells. Combining OGX-427 with erlotinib significantly enhanced antitumor effects &lt;i&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; and delayed A549 xenograft growth &lt;i&gt;in vivo&lt;/i&gt;. OGX-427 also significantly enhanced the activity of cytotoxic drugs used for NSCLC. These data indicate that treatment-induced Hsp27 contributes to the development of resistance, and provides preclinical proof-of-principle that inhibition of stress adaptive pathways mediated by Hsp27 enhances the activity of erlotinib and chemotherapeutics. &lt;i&gt;Mol Cancer Ther; 14(5); 1107–16. ©2015 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Heads or Tails: Which Is More Important in Molecular Self-Assembly? (2007)

Self-assembled monolayers can modify the functionality of the surfaces on which they assemble. Because they alter the surface properties, self-assembled monolayers can be used for a multitude of applications. Understanding the forces that drive the formation of a self-assembled monolayer on a given surface remains an important area of investigation. A new paper discusses some of the considerations for self-assembly on semiconductors. The results highlight the tradeoffs between achieving crystalline packing of the tail groups and forming commensurate bonding between the head groups and the underlying surface. Where the emphasis should be placed depends on the application, but obtaining both interfacial and intermolecular ordering may be possible.
1.65 &#x003BC;m buffer-free GaSb/AlGaSb quantum-well diode lasers grown on a GaAs substrate operating at room temperature (2007)

We present a 1.65 μm GaSb/AlGaSb quantum-well (QW) laser operating at room temperature, grown buffer-free on a GaAs substrate. The enabling technology in this device is a layer of interfacial misfit dislocations (IMF) that completely relieve the strain between the GaAs substrate and the GaSb epi-layer without the use of thick metamorphic buffers. The IMF array is localized to the GaAs/GaSb interface, allowing current to pass through electrically pumped devices without the detrimental effects of threading dislocations that result in large voltage drops and non-radiative recombination. This growth technology provides an effective way of integrating III-Sb based devices such as IR-lasers, detectors and transistors with a higher quality and more scalable substrate such as GaAs.

DERIVING A SIMULATION MODEL OF A SINGLE 40-KHZ CMUT CELL FROM IMPEDANCE AND INTERFEROMETER MEASUREMENTS (2010)

A spring-mass-damper system and corresponding equivalent circuit help design and analyze capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs). The ability to extract similar models from measured devices helps design verification and development of simulation models that match fabricated devices. Impedance measurements yield the CMUT's clamped capacitance and motional impedance, which fits a 4-element equivalent circuit. Additional measurements help extract a more complete equivalent circuit that includes the electromechanical transformer ratio and effective mechanical elements.

Gouy Phase Shift for Few-Cycle Laser Pulses (2004)

We measured for the first time the influence of the Gouy effect on focused few-cycle laser pulses. The carrier-envelope phase is shown to undergo a smooth variation over a few Rayleigh distances. This result is of critical importance for any application of ultrashort laser pulses, including high-harmonic and attosecond pulse generation, as well as phase-dependent effects.
An Electrohydraulic Gas Sampling Valve with Application to Hydrocarbon Emissions Studies (1980)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Design and development of an electrohydraulically actuated gas sampling valve is presented for use in auto engine combustion studies. The valve was developed with particular emphasis on sampling within the vicinity of the wall quench layer, requiring minimum leakage rates to avoid sample contamination and flush seating of the valve-stem to valve-seat to avoid perturbations of the wall layer. Response in the range of 0.4 to 1.0 milliseconds is attainable for variable valve lifts measured between 0.01 to 0.30 mm while using a net sealing force of approximately 750N. Gas leakage rates ranged from 0.05% to 1% of the sample mass flow rate when sampling from estimated distances from the wall of 0.3 mm to 0.03 mm, respectively, at a cylinder pressure of 10 bar.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;The gas sampling valve is presently coupled to a gas chromatograph to measure concentrations of major species components. Initial studies have focussed upon determining species profiles near the wall at specific times after flame arrival at one sampling location in the engine cylinder. The results indicate that the contribution of wall quench layer hydrocarbons to the engine exhaust is substantially smaller than previously estimated.&lt;/div&gt;
Point-Source Measurements using a Dome Shaped CsI Detector for Cardiac SPECT (2017)

We present feasibility studies of an economically built curved CsI dome for a high performance Cardiac SPECT application. The dome CsI was 99% of standard CsI density and mechanically stable. The light yield was 56% of a standard CsI crystal. Subsequently we successfully performed point-source position-sensitive scintillation light measurement experiments on a CsI:Tl domed sample, with a simple fiber-optic readout. The economical technique of building the detector shown here will be investigated further over the long term future.
Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy of Oriented Membrane Polypeptides at 100 K with Signal Enhancement by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (2010)

Oriented membrane samples encompassing the biradical bTbK and a transmembrane peptide carrying a single (15)N labeled residue have been prepared on polymer sheets with sample geometries that fit into a 3.2 mm MAS rotor. The proton-decoupled (15)N cross-polarization spectra of the peptide were characterized by a single line at fast magic angle spinning speeds of approximately 8 kHz. Irradiating these samples with mu-waves resulted in Dynamic Nuclear Polarization and a concomitant 18-fold signal enhancement which considerably shortened the NMR acquisition times. Furthermore, the sideband patterns of magic angle oriented sample spinning (MAOSS) solid-state NMR spectra at slow spinning speeds (approximately 1 kHz) are indicative that the lipids and peptides form well-oriented bilayers at 100 K despite the narrow inner diameter of the rotor (2.2 mm) and the presence of considerable amounts of biradicals. The DNP signal enhancement opens up enhanced possibilities for multidimensional solid-state NMR investigation of oriented membrane polypeptides.
Understanding speech in complex acoustic environments: the role of informational masking and auditory distance perception (2016)

One of the greatest challenges for the auditory system is communicating in environments where speech is degraded by multiple spatially distributed maskers and room reverberation. This "cocktail-party" situation and the related auditory mechanisms have been a topic for numerous studies. This thesis primarily investigated speech intelligibility in such environments— specifically considering the role of differences in distance between talkers and the contribution of informational masking (IM). The first two studies investigated the role of differences in distance between competing talkers on spatial release from masking (SRM) in normal hearing (NH) and subsequently, hearing impaired (HI) listeners. Intelligibility improved for both NH and HI listeners when moving the masker further away from the target. Contrastingly, when the target was moved further away and the maskers were kept near the listener, the results varied significantly across subjects. While intelligibility improved for some NH listeners, the HI listeners performed substantially worse. It was hypothesized that in this condition IM was caused by masker distraction rather than confusion. In the third study, the role of IM was investigated in a simulated cafeteria environment. Substantial IM effects were only observed when the target and masking talker were colocated and the same person. In conditions that resemble real life, no significant IM effects were found. This suggests that IM is of low relevance in real-life listening and is exaggerated by target-masker similarities and the colocated spatial configuration often used in previous listening tests. The final study investigated the effect of nearby masking talkers in a simulated cafeteria environment with NH and HI listeners. The study demonstrated that for realistic conditions, nearby distracters introduce a significant amount of IM in both NH and HI subjects. However, the observed IM was likely not due to target-masker confusions, but rather caused by the nearby masker distracting the listener. Overall, this work suggests that (i) NH and HI listeners use distance related cues in the cocktail-party environment, (ii) in such environments IM related to target-masker confusions is of little relevance, and (iii) nearby maskers introduce IM - likely due to distraction of attention. These findings contribute to our understanding of auditory processing and could potentially have implications on signal processing methods for hearing devices.
C-Ion (2016)

This document contains recommendations for terminology in mass spectrometry. Development of standard terms dates back to 1974 when the IUPAC Commission on Analytical Nomenclature issued recommendations on mass spectrometry terms and definitions. In 1978, the IUPAC Commission on Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy updated and extended the recommendations and made further recommendations regarding symbols, acronyms, and abbreviations. The IUPAC Physical Chemistry Division Commission on Molecular Structure and Spectroscopy’s Subcommittee on Mass Spectroscopy revised the recommended terms in 1991 and appended terms relating to vacuum technology. Some additional terms related to tandem mass spectrometry were added in 1993 and accelerator mass spectrometry in 1994. Owing to the rapid expansion of the field in the intervening years, particularly in mass spectrometry of biomolecules, a further revision of the recommendations has become necessary. This document contains a comprehensive revision of mass spectrometry terminology that represents the current consensus of the mass spectrometry community.
Combining abstract interpreters (2006)

We present a methodology for automatically combining abstract interpreters over given lattices to construct an abstract interpreter for the combination of those lattices. This lends modularity to the process of design and implementation of abstract interpreters.We define the notion of logical product of lattices. This kind of combination is more precise than the reduced product combination. We give algorithms to obtain the join operator and the existential quantification operator for the combined lattice from the corresponding operators of the individual lattices. We also give a bound on the number of steps required to reach a fixed point across loops during analysis over the combined lattice in terms of the corresponding bounds for the individual lattices. We prove that our combination methodology yields the most precise abstract interpretation operators over the logical product of lattices when the individual lattices are over theories that are convex, stably infinite, and disjoint.We also present an interesting application of logical product wherein some lattices can be reduced to combination of other (unrelated) lattices with known abstract interpreters.
Flexible Multi-ASIP SoC for Turbo/LDPC Decoder (2012)

In order to meet flexibility and performance constraints of current and future digital communication applications, multiple ASIPs combined with dedicated communication and memory architectures are required. In this work we consider the design of an innovative universal channel decoder architecture model by unifying flexibility-oriented and optimization-oriented approaches. Towards this objective, we have designed a flexible and scalable multiprocessor platform based on a novel ASIP architecture for high throughput turbo/LDPC decoding. The proposed platform supports turbo and LDPC codes of most emerging wireless communication standards (WiFi, WiMax, LTE, and DVB-RCS). Energy-aware optimisation techniques have been also proposed and implemented. 
Finally, a fully functional FPGA demonstrator is available and the proposed Multi-ASIP architecture has been successfully integrated into a new generation telecom chip.

In vitro in‐stent restenoses evaluated by 3D ultrasound (2009)

The purpose of this study was to quantify in-stent restenoses with 3D B mode and power Doppler ultrasound (U.S.) imaging. In-stent restenoses were mimicked with vascular phantoms in which a nonferromagnetic prototype stent (Boston Scientific) and a ferromagnetic clinical stainless steel stent (Palmaz P295) were embedded. Each phantom had an 80% in-stent stenosis and a 75% stenosis located outside the stent. These phantoms were compared to a reference phantom reproducing both stenoses without stent. Data sets of 2D cross-sectional U.S. images were acquired in freehand scanning using a magnetic sensor attached to the U.S. probe and in mechanical linear scanning with the probe attached to a step motor device. Each 2D image was automatically segmented before 3D reconstruction of the vessel. Results indicate that the reference phantom (without stent) was accurately assessed with errors below 1.8% for the 75% stenosis and 3.2% for the 80% stenosis in both B mode and power Doppler for the two scanning methods. The 80% in-stent stenoses in Boston Scientific and Palmaz stents were, respectively, evaluated at 73.8 (+/-3.2)% and 75.8 (+/- 3)% in B mode and at 82 (+/- 2.5)% and 86.2 (+/- 6.4)% in power Doppler when freehand scans were used. For comparison, when linear scans were selected, in-stent stenoses in the Boston Scientific or Palmaz stent were, respectively, evaluated at 77.4 (+/- 2.0)% and 73.8 (+/- 2.5)% in B mode and at 87.0 (+/- 1.3)% and 85.6 (+/- 5.8)% in power Doppler. To conclude, 3D freehand U.S. is a valuable method to quantify in-stent restenoses, particularly in B mode. It is thus hoped that, in the clinical setting, noninvasive 3D U.S. may provide sufficient precision to grade in-stent restenoses.
