Synthesized Disturbance Observer for Vehicle Lateral Disturbance Rejection (2018)

Fast disturbance detection and compensation play an important role in vehicle steering control system. Disturbance observer (DOB) is an effective technique to compensate for the disturbance. However, the design procedure of the DOB requires a stable inverse of the plant and an additional <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">$Q$</tex> filter to guarantee the stability and the robustness to plant uncertainties. Therefore, the design procedure is challenging for the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems, which limits DOB's application in the vehicle steering system. This paper proposes a systematic DOB design framework for the vehicle steering control system. The framework converts the DOB design problem into an equivalent H-infinity optimal control design problem, which is then transformed into a convex optimization problem and can be solved efficiently thereafter. The framework is based on the H-infinity synthesis methodology, which can be easily exploited to include the system uncertainties based on mu synthesis in robust control theory. Complete design procedures and comprehensive simulation analysis are included in this paper. The simulation results validate that the designed DOB can detect and compensate for the disturbance effectively to guarantee the vehicle steering performance.
Effect of various operational and design parameters on the performance of a rotary feeding and cutting system (2010)

There has been extensive research completed in the area of biomass cutting, specifically, cutting plant material. However, there has been very little research completed with a focus on rotary feeding and cutting system (RFCS). A RFCS is a hybrid cutter which employs characteristics of both a sickle type cutter and a precision type cutter. With limited data available on the factors that affect the performance of a RFCS it has been assumed that the factors that affect the cutting performance of a sickle type cutter or a precision type cutter have the same influence on the performance of a RFCS. To validate these assumptions laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the effect of counter-knife sharpness, rotor speed, and throughput on the specific energy required to process barley straw. It was concluded that the only statistically significant factor (p 0.05) was counter-knife sharpness. The specific energy requirements to process barley straw at an average moisture content of 13 % wet basis was 0.39±0.16** for a sharp counter-knife and 0.74±0.08** for a dull counter-knife.
Modeling polarization for hyper-NA lithography tools and masks (2007)

We present a comprehensive modeling study of polarization effects for the whole optical chain including exposure tool and mask, with strong emphasis on the impact of the Jones Matrix of the projection lens. First we start with the basic of polarization and then the polarization effect of each components of the optical chain will be discussed. Components investigated are source polarization, rigorous EMF effect, mask blank birefringence, pellicle effect and projection lens. We also focus on comparing the relative merits of different types of representation of Jones matrix of the projection lens and outlined ways to decompose the Jones Matrix. Methodologies such as Pauli matrix, PQM, Jones-Zernike expansion and IPS-Zernike expansion are among the ones investigated. The polarization impact on lithography and OPC on realistic 45nm and 32nm node process levels is discussed. Issues in OPC modeling with Jones Matrix is highlighted. Concerns regarding the standardization of the implementation of Jones Matrix in the lithography community are considered and a standard has been proposed and received wide acceptance. Last we discuss the challenge of using polarization and some novel ideas to deal with polarization in hyper NA era. Throughout the paper the resist component is not included so as to isolate the effect of resist from that of the other components.

Flow Karyotyping and Sorting of Human Chromosomes (1986)

Flow cytometry and sorting are becoming increasingly useful as tools for chromosome classification and for the detection of numerical and structural chromosome aberrations. Chromosomes of a single type can be purified with these tools to facilitate gene mapping or production of chromosome-specific recombinant DNA libraries (Gray et al. 1975, 1979a; Stubblefield et al. 1975; Carrano et al. 1979; Davies et al. 1981; Young et al. 1981; Sillar and Young 1981; Kunkel et al. 1982; Lebo 1982). For analysis of chromosomes with flow cytometry, the chromosomes are extracted from mitotic cells, stained with one or more fluorescent dyes, and classified one by one according to their dye content(s). Thus, the flow approach is fundamentally different than conventional karyotyping, where chromosomes are classified within the context of a metaphase spread. Flow sorting allows purification of chromosomes that can be distinguished by flow cytometry. We describe here the basic principles of flow cytometric...
Phytophthora infestanseffector AVRblb2 prevents secretion of a plant immune protease at the haustorial interface (2011)

In response to pathogen attack, plant cells secrete antimicrobial molecules at the site of infection. However, how plant pathogens interfere with defense-related focal secretion remains poorly known. Here we show that the host-translocated RXLR-type effector protein AVRblb2 of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans focally accumulates around haustoria, specialized infection structures that form inside plant cells, and promotes virulence by interfering with the execution of host defenses. AVRblb2 significantly enhances susceptibility of host plants to P. infestans by targeting the host papain-like cysteine protease C14 and specifically preventing its secretion into the apoplast. Plants altered in C14 expression were significantly affected in susceptibility to P. infestans in a manner consistent with a positive role of C14 in plant immunity. Our findings point to a unique counterdefense strategy that plant pathogens use to neutralize secreted host defense proteases. Effectors, such as AVRblb2, can be used as molecular probes to dissect focal immune responses at pathogen penetration sites.
Synthesis of fluorinated naphthylphenylacetylenic and naphthylphenyldiacetylenic liquid crystals (1995)

Abstract Four series of fluorinated tolanes, naphthylphenylacetylenes and naphthylphenyldiacetylenes were prepared and characterized. Most of the fluorinated tolanes exhibit no mesomorphic behaviour. However, most of the fluorinated naphthylphenylacetylenes and naphthylphenyldiacetylenes form enantiotropic nematic phases. The dielectric anisotropy and birefringence of some selected compounds were measured by a guest-host method. All of those studied show relatively high dielectric anisotropy and birefringence.

N-WASp is required for Schwann cell cytoskeletal dynamics, normal myelin gene expression and peripheral nerve myelination (2011)

Schwann cells elaborate myelin sheaths around axons by spirally wrapping and compacting their plasma membranes. Although actin remodeling plays a crucial role in this process, the effectors that modulate the Schwann cell cytoskeleton are poorly defined. Here, we show that the actin cytoskeletal regulator, neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASp), is upregulated in myelinating Schwann cells coincident with myelin elaboration. When N-WASp is conditionally deleted in Schwann cells at the onset of myelination, the cells continue to ensheath axons but fail to extend processes circumferentially to elaborate myelin. Myelin-related gene expression is also severely reduced in the N-WASp-deficient cells and in vitro process and lamellipodia formation are disrupted. Although affected mice demonstrate obvious motor deficits these do not appear to progress, the mutant animals achieving normal body weights and living to advanced age. Our observations demonstrate that N-WASp plays an essential role in Schwann cell maturation and myelin formation.
Creep Mechanism of Polycrystalline Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (1992)

The high‐temperature deformation behavior of a fine‐grained polycrystalline yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) was studied in the temperature range of 1400° to 1610°C using constant strain rate compression tests under strain rates ranging from 10 −5 /s to 10 −3 /s. The stress exponent of the creep rate, the activation energy in comparison with that for single‐crystal YAG, and the grain size dependence suggest that Nabarro–Herring creep rate limited by the bulk diffusion of one of the cations (Y or Al) is the operative mechanism.
Reliable Deep Learning based Localization with CSI Fingerprints and\n Multiple Base Stations (2021)

Deep learning (DL) methods have been recently proposed for user equipment\n(UE) localization in wireless communication networks, based on the channel\nstate information (CSI) between a UE and each base station (BS) in the uplink.\nWith the CSI from the available BSs, UE localization can be performed in\ndifferent ways. One the one hand, a single neural network (NN) can be trained\nfor the UE localization by considering the CSI from all the available BSs as\none overall fingerprint of the user's location. On the other hand, the CSI at\neach BS can be used to obtain an estimate of the UE's position with a separate\nNN at each BS, and then the position estimates of all BSs are combined to\nobtain an overall estimate of the UE position. In this work, we show that UE\nlocalization with the latter approach can achieve a higher positioning\naccuracy. We propose to consider the uncertainty in the UE localization at each\nBS, such that overall UE's position is determined by combining the position\nestimates of the different BSs based on the uncertainty at each BS. With this\napproach, a more reliable position estimate can be obtained in case of\nvariations in the channel.\n

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Provides New Insights into Therapeutic Roles of Thyroid Hormone in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (2023)

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fatal interstitial lung disease without an effective cure. Herein, we explore the role of 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T<sub>3</sub>) administration on lung alveolar regeneration and fibrosis at the single-cell level. T<sub>3</sub> supplementation significantly altered the gene expression in fibrotic lung tissues. Immune cells were rapidly recruited into the lung after the injury; there were much more M2 macrophages than M1 macrophages in the lungs of bleomycin-treated mice; and M1 macrophages increased slightly, whereas M2 macrophages were significantly reduced after T<sub>3</sub> treatment. T<sub>3</sub> enhanced the resolution of pulmonary fibrosis by promoting the differentiation of <i>Krt8</i><sup>+</sup> transitional alveolar type II epithelial cells into alveolar type I epithelial cells and inhibiting fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix production potentially by regulation of <i>Nr2f2</i>. In addition, T<sub>3</sub> regulated the crosstalk of macrophages with fibroblasts, and the <i>Pros1-Axl</i> signaling axis significantly facilitated the attenuation of fibrosis. The findings demonstrate that administration of a thyroid hormone promotes alveolar regeneration and resolves fibrosis mainly by regulation of the cellular state and cell-cell communication of alveolar epithelial cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts in mouse lungs in comprehensive ways.

Numerical Analysis of Radiative Recombination and Reabsorption in GaAs/Si Tandem (2015)

We demonstrate a numerical analysis of the device impact of photon reabsorption on single-junction GaAs and tandem GaAs/Si solar cells. A self-consistent optical-electrical model that considers nonideal losses within the devices is developed. For single-junction devices, we find that the impact of photon recycling on the voltage increases monotonically with the injection level. For record-level GaAs solar cells, the voltage boost is 33 mV under open-circuit conditions and 13 mV at the maximum power point. For tandem GaAs/Si solar cells, photon reabsorption moderates the sensitivity of tandem efficiency to both obvious parameters like absorber thickness and implicit parameters like shunt resistance (R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">sh</sub> ) and bulk lifetime. Considering luminescent coupling results in a GaAs top cell that is 9.5% thicker than without luminescent coupling. The tandem device is 50% more sensitive to R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">sh</sub> changes in the GaAs cell than R <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">sh</sub> changes in the Si cell. The impact of the GaAs top-cell bulk lifetime on tandem efficiency is reduced by 61% if photon reabsorption is not considered. This integrated optoelectronic device model allows one quantification of the implicit effects of photon recycling and luminescent coupling on device parameters for GaAs/Si tandem, providing a valuable tool for high-performance device optimization.
Electrospun Nanofibers with Associative Polymer−Surfactant Systems (2010)

Associative polymers are unique in their structure with pendant hydrophobes attached to their hydrophilic backbone, enabling associations between the hydrophobes and forming junctions in aqueous solutions. In this study, we examine efforts to produce electrospun nanofibers of associative polymers in conjunction with a readily spinnable polymer. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) images reveal that the solution rheology sets an upper limit to the concentration of associative polymer that can be successfully electrospun. However, addition of nonionic surfactants to the precursor solution results in significant improvement in nanofiber morphology as evinced from reduced beading. Through judicious use of nonionic surfactants to modulate solution viscoelastic properties, we are able to obtain defect-free nanofiber morphology and gain new insights into the fundamentals of the electrospinning process. In particular, we find that solution viscoelasticity as measured in terms of the relaxation time, rather than viscosity as typically hypothesized, controls the nanofiber formation process.

How Reproducible are Surface Areas Calculated from the BET Equation? (2022)

Porosity and surface area analysis play a prominent role in modern materials science. At the heart of this sits the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) theory, which has been a remarkably successful contribution to the field of materials science. The BET method was developed in the 1930s for open surfaces but is now the most widely used metric for the estimation of surface areas of micro- and mesoporous materials. Despite its widespread use, the calculation of BET surface areas causes a spread in reported areas, resulting in reproducibility problems in both academia and industry. To prove this, for this analysis, 18 already-measured raw adsorption isotherms were provided to sixty-one labs, who were asked to calculate the corresponding BET areas. This round-robin exercise resulted in a wide range of values. Here, the reproducibility of BET area determination from identical isotherms is demonstrated to be a largely ignored issue, raising critical concerns over the reliability of reported BET areas. To solve this major issue, a new computational approach to accurately and systematically determine the BET area of nanoporous materials is developed. The software, called "BET surface identification" (BETSI), expands on the well-known Rouquerol criteria and makes an unambiguous BET area assignment possible.
Comparative studies for developing protein based cancer prediction model to maximise the ROC-AUC with various variable selection methods (2016)

The era of protein data analysis is coming with more accurate quantification experiments such as the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Protein is easier to obtain than the other genetic variants or gene expression data, which makes it more suitable for early diagnosis of cancer. Each patient has unique patterns of protein data, which makes it imperative for the researcher to select the effective markers to construct a consistent model to predict the patients. This research focuses on finding the most effective variable selection method to be applied in the early diagnosis of the pancreatic cancer. In the process, we compare classical selection methods (stepwise selection based on AIC, BIC), machine learning based selection method (support vector machine recursive feature selection; SVM-REF), and stepwise selection method using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (Step-AUC). Based on the simulation and real data analysis, we suggest a Step-AUC method to maximise the prediction performance of the early diagnosis by protein data.
