Recent advances in self-interference incoherent digital holography (2019)

Self-interference holography is a common technique to record holograms of incoherently illuminated scenes. In this review, we survey the main milestones in the topic of self-interference incoherent digital holography from two main points of view. First, we review the prime architectures of optical hologram recorders over more than 50 years. Second, we discuss some of the key applications of these recorders in the field of imaging in general, and for 3D super-resolution imaging, fluorescence microscopy, partial aperture imaging, seeing through a scattering medium, and spectral imaging in particular. We summarize this overview with a general perspective on this research topic and its prospective directions.
Facilitation of Spinal NMDA Receptor Currents by Spillover of Synaptically Released Glycine (2003)

In the mammalian CNS, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors serve prominent roles in many physiological and pathophysiological processes including pain transmission. For full activation, NMDA receptors require the binding of glycine. It is not known whether the brain uses changes in extracellular glycine to modulate synaptic NMDA responses. Here, we show that synaptically released glycine facilitates NMDA receptor currents in the superficial dorsal horn, an area critically involved in pain processing. During high presynaptic activity, glycine released from inhibitory interneurons escapes the synaptic cleft and reaches nearby NMDA receptors by so-called spillover. In vivo, this process may contribute to the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia.
Composition of Dissolved Organic Matter in Pore Waters of Anoxic Marine Sediments Analyzed by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (2018)

Marine sediments are globally significant sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to the oceans, but the biogeochemical role of pore-water DOM in the benthic and marine carbon cycles remains unclear due to a lack of understanding about its molecular composition. To help fill this knowledge gap, we used 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to examine depth variability in the composition of pore-water DOM in anoxic sediments of Santa Barbara Basin, California Borderland. Proton detected spectra were acquired on whole samples without pre-concentration to avoid preclusion of any DOM components from the analytical window. Broad unresolved resonance (operationally assigned to carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecules, or CRAM) dominated all spectra. Most of the relatively well-resolved peaks (attributed to biomolecules or their derivatives) appeared at chemical shifts similar to those previously reported for marine DOM in the literature, but at different relative intensities. DOM composition changed significantly within the top 50 cm of the sediment column, where the relative intensity of CRAM increased, and the relative intensity of resolved resonances decreased. The composition of CRAM itself also changed throughout the entire length of the 4.5-m profile, as CRAM protons became increasingly aliphatic at the expense of functionalized protons. Given that pore-water DOM is generated from sedimentary organic matter that includes pre-aged and degraded material, and that DOM could theoretically be subjected to microbial reworking in the pore waters for centuries to millennia, these data suggest that marine sediments may be sources of CRAM that are compositionally unique from CRAM generated in the upper ocean.
Molecular genetics of the Finnishdisease heritage (1999)

Finland, located at the edge of the inhabitable world, is one of the best-studied genetic isolates. The characteristic features of population isolates-founder effect, genetic drift and isolation-have, over the centuries, shaped the gene pool of the Finns. Finnish diseases have been a target of extensive genetic research and the majority of some 35 disease genes enriched in this population have been identified; the molecular and cellular consequences of disease mutations are currently being characterized. Special strategies taking advantage of linkage disequilibrium have been efficiently used in the initial mapping and restriction of Finnish disease loci and this has stimulated development of novel statistical approaches in the disease gene hunt. Identification of mutated genes has provided tools for detailed analyses of molecular pathogenesis in Finnish diseases, many of which reveal a distinct tissue specificity of clinical phenotype. Often these studies have not only clarified the molecular detail of Finnish diseases, but also provided novel information on biological processes and metabolic pathways essential for normal development and function of human cells and tissues.
Reconfigurable optical interconnections for parallel computing (2000)

We describe our research on optically interconnected optoelectronic parallel computing systems. Our architecture is based on a multilayer pipeline of two-dimensional optoelectronic device arrays in which each pixel is composed of an optical input channel, a general-purpose programmable processor, local memory, and a surface-emitting laser diode as an optical output channel. Free-space optics provides parallel, global communication between layers in the pipeline via optical paths that are dynamically reconfigurable. Design and initial realization of a system are described.
Mode-Division Multiplexing Transmission System With DMD-Independent Low Complexity MIMO Processing (2013)

We propose a mode-division multiplexing (MDM) transmission system with differential mode delay (DMD) independent low computational complexity MIMO processing. We adjusted the delay time of the delay units in the equalizer in accordance with the DMD value of the fiber, and the functional imperfection of the mode MUX/DEMUX can be compensated for with low computational complexity by using this technique. Finally, we investigated the crosstalk characteristics of the PLC-based MUX/DEMUX and achieved an experimental WDM-MDM transmission over the C-L band with low MIMO processing complexity even when using a few-mode fiber with a high DMD.

Forward- and reverse-biased electroluminescence behavior of chemically fabricated ZnO nanotubes/GaN interface (2011)

Electroluminescence characteristics of an n-ZnO nanotubes/p-GaN heterostructure light-emitting diode (LED) have been investigated at forward and reverse bias. Distinctly different emission spectra have been observed and the location of the recombination of electron–hole is analyzed under both configurations. The forward-biased emission spectrum shows two peaks centered at around 450 and 560 nm, while the reverse-biased spectrum exhibits a single emission peak at 650 nm. By comparing the current transport mechanisms, it is suggested that the violet-blue emission peak (450 nm) observed only under forward bias is originating from the heterojunction of the ZnO nanotubes/p-GaN LED. The influence on the emission intensity of the device with the increase in temperature at constant current is studied in the range from 25 to 65 °C, to check its compatibility for practical applications and under harsh conditions.
670-P: Iron-Deficiency Anemia Case Report Showing the Clinical Relevance of RBC-Lifespan–Adjusted A1C (2022)

Laboratory A1C does not precisely reflect glycemic control in those with altered RBC lifespan and our aim was to evaluate an adjusted A1C, a glycemic measure that adjusts A1C to a reference RBC lifespan. By removing the individual RBC lifespan variation, adjusted A1C better reflects intracellular glucose exposure in RBCs and perhaps other organs susceptible to complications. Iron-deficiency anemia and treatment is known to affect RBC lifespan and therefore provides opportunity to evaluate the model. The patient was a 53-year-old woman with iron-deficiency anemia and type 1 diabetes utilizing sensor-augmented pump therapy. Longitudinal A1C and CGM were evaluated with a novel kinetic model to estimate RBC lifespan and glucose uptake rate. During the six months before iron therapy, the RBC lifespan was estimated at 151 days and 93% of a reference glucose uptake. During six months of iron therapy, the RBC lifespan decreased to 122 days, while the RBC glucose uptake increased slightly to 101% of reference value. The RBC lifespan change explains the observed laboratory A1C change (Figure) and can be attribute to the iron therapy and supported by Hb, RDW and Ferritin data. The adjusted A1C based on these two different RBC lifespans agree with the stable CGM mean glucose of this patient. In this case study, we confirmed the clinical relevance of adjusted A1C to account for variations in RBC lifespan.

Stereoselective Total Synthesis of the Proposed Structure of 2-Epibotcinolide (2006)

[Structure: see text] The total synthesis of pseudo 2-epibotcinolide (1b) through several featured synthetic approaches has been attained. First, the chiral linear precursors of the nine-membered ring compound is stereoselectively constructed by the asymmetric aldol reaction for producing beta-hydroxy ester units. Second, the key cyclization reaction to form the nine-membered lactone moiety is efficiently achieved by the extremely facile and powerful mixed-anhydride method promoted by 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride (MNBA) with basic promoters.
Video frame size modeling for user-generated traffic in an enterprise-like environment (2017)

Smart mobile devices have displaced personal computers in many daily applications such as internet browsing and email. However, for content creation, users still need to use a large display, keyboard and mouse. Many initiatives are currently working on enabling I/O functionality for content creation and peripheral access, and on preserving the grab-and-go experience where the mobile device is not tethered to the docking station but merely placed in proximity of it and the traffic is carried over Wi-Fi. Maintaining the Quality of Service (QoS) and Experience (QoE) of low-latency, high fidelity video (for example the desktop view of a smart device) when transmitted over a Wi-Fi link in heavily loaded environments has been proven problematic. In this work, we propose for the first time in the relevant literature to the best of our knowledge, a highly accurate video traffic model that is capable of predicting the volume of video traffic generated by an average user's computer during a day. Our modeling techniques are tested on real user-generated screen mirroring traffic from a large shared cube space similar to an enterprise environment, and can be easily used as source traffic generators in order to facilitate the study of H.264 transmission performance over wireless networks.

High-Efficiency Silicon Carbide-Based Buck-Boost Converter in an Energy Storage System: Minimizing Complexity and Maximizing Efficiency (2021)

Energy storage (es) systems are key enablers for the high penetration of renewables. The buck-boost converter in a dc-coupled architecture for integrated photovoltaic (PV) and ES systems shows promising performance with a lower cost and higher efficiency. Silicon carbide (SiC) devices can benefit ES converters as well as the whole ES system. This article focuses on the development of a high-efficiency, SiC-based buck-boost converter in an ES system while emphasizing its unique design considerations. First, the topologies of the buck-boost converter, considering system requirements and device rating/availability, are discussed. A two-level voltage source converter (VSC) with paralleled discrete SiC devices in mature packages (e.g., TO-247) is selected because of its smaller converter complexity and better device availability. Then, the gate drive and layout design for current sharing between paralleled devices are presented. The impact of a device parameter mismatch (e.g., threshold voltage) on switching loss is also evaluated. Moreover, control and protection schemes for the buck-boost converter are discussed. Finally, a 60-kW ES converter with four 1,700-V SiC MOSFETs is prototyped and experimentally demonstrates up to 99.48% efficiency and satisfactory short circuit performance.

The state of visual analytics: Views on what visual analytics is and where it is going (2010)

In the 2005 publication "Illuminating the Path" visual analytics was defined as "the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces." A lot of work has been done in visual analytics over the intervening five years. While visual analytics started in the United States with a focus on security, it is now a worldwide research agenda with a broad range of application domains. This is evidenced by efforts like the European VisMaster program and the upcoming Visual Analytics and Knowledge Discovery (VAKD) workshop, just to name two.There are still questions concerning where and how visual analytics fits in the large body of research and applications represented by the VisWeek community. This panel will present distinct viewpoints on what visual analytics is and its role in understanding complex information in a complex world. The goal of this panel is to engender discussion from the audience on the emergence and continued advancement of visual analytics and its role relative to fields of related research. Four distinguished panelists will provide their perspective on visual analytics focusing on what it is, what it should be, and thoughts about a development path between these two states. The purpose of the presentations is not to give a critical review of the literature but rather to give a review on the field and to provide a contextual perspective based on the panelists' years of experience and accumulated knowledge.
Subtype-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists enhance the responsiveness to citalopram and reboxetine in the mouse forced swim test (2010)

Nicotine increases serotonergic and noradrenergic neuronal activity and facilitates serotonin and noradrenaline release. Accordingly, nicotine enhances antidepressant-like actions of reuptake inhibitors selective for serotonin or noradrenaline in the mouse forced swim test and the mouse tail suspension test. Both high-affinity α4β2 and low-affinity α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes are implicated in nicotine-mediated release of serotonin and noradrenaline. The present study therefore investigated whether selective agonism of α4β2 or α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors would affect the mouse forced swim test activity of two antidepressants with distinct mechanisms of action, namely the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram and the noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor reboxetine. Subthreshold and threshold doses of citalopram (3 and 10 mg/kg) or reboxetine (10 and 20 mg/kg) were tested alone and in combination with the novel α4β2-selective partial nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, NS3956 (0.3 and 1.0 mg/kg) or the α7-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, PNU-282987 (10 and 30 mg/kg). Alone, NS3956 and PNU-282987 were devoid of activity in the mouse forced swim test, but both 1.0 mg/kg NS3956 and 30 mg/kg PNU-282987 enhanced the effect of citalopram and also reboxetine. The data suggest that the activity of citalopram and reboxetine in the mouse forced swim test can be enhanced by agonists at either α4β2 or α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, suggesting that both nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subtypes may be involved in the nicotine-enhanced action of antidepressants.
Providing network video service to mobile clients (2002)

Mobile computing and multimedia are two emerging trends in computer systems. One foreseeable application suggested by these two trends is the playback of stored video on both mobile devices and conventional workstations. A system supporting such an application must provide performance-guaranteed delivery of video data to different types of clients, some of which may be mobile. In this paper, we address some of the issues involved in supporting such an application, namely the efficient layout of multiple representations of video data on a file server and network support for host mobility.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Balancing computation and communication power in power constrained clusters (2023)

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for balancing computation and communication power in power constrained environments. A data processing cluster with a plurality of compute nodes may perform parallel processing of a workload in a power constrained environment. Nodes that finish tasks early may be power-gated based on one or more conditions. In some scenarios, a node may predict a wait duration and go into a reduced power consumption state if the wait duration is predicted to be greater than a threshold. The power saved by power-gating one or more nodes may be reassigned for use by other nodes. A cluster agent may be configured to reassign the unused power to the active nodes to expedite workload processing.

Local plasmon resonance at metal wedge (2008)

A local plasmon resonance on a metal wedge is studied by using the Meixner approach [J. Meixner, IEEE Trans. Antennas Propag.AP-20, 442 (1972)]. It is found that the singular field behavior of a local plasmon resonance as a function of the distance from the edge of the wedge is sensitive to the wavelength and wedge angle, and ranges from a dramatic increase in amplitude close to its theoretical limit to pure oscillatory behavior with only minor amplitude variation. Field singularities for gold, silver, and aluminum wedges are calculated. It is shown that, unlike an ideal-conductor wedge, the real part of the power index of the electric field singularity does not decrease monotonically as a function of the wedge angle, but has a minimum for some angle depending on the wavelength and material parameters. If the dielectric surrounding the wedge has a positive permittivity equal to the absolute value of that of the metal, and hence satisfies the plasmon resonance condition, then the electric field has a peculiar behavior for a wedge whose shape is close to the flat surface.
Optical generation and detection of elastic waves in solids (1994)

In this paper we review optical methods suitable to generate and to detect elastic waves in solids without any mechanical contact. The mechanisms underlying elastic wave generation by the impact of a pulsed laser beam are outlined. The principles of optical techniques able to detect surface displacements of amplitude less than one angström are described. Examples of applications in domains such as nondestructive testing and acoustic field imaging are given.
Choosing the appropriate Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) for avionics lightning protection (2013)

GDTs are a very effective component to suppress high powered pulsed transients such as lightning. When designing per the datasheet, one would expect a component to operate within the specified ratings. This is not always the case. Some GDTs typically violate the impulse spark-over voltage rating. The authors have noticed a belief in the industry that this is normal for a GDT. GDTs can be found that do perform according to their ratings. The purpose of this article is to dispel any belief by the reader that unpredictability of a GDT's impulse spark-over voltage is just "part of designing with GDTs". However, you do have to test.
