Salt Heater Test (FY19), Rev. 2 (2019)

This report summarizes the 2019 fiscal year (FY19) status of the borehole heater test in salt funded by the US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) Spent Fuel and Waste Science & Technology (SFWST) campaign. This report satisfies SFWST level-three milestone report M3SF-19SN010303033. This report is an update of the April 2019 level-two milestone report M2SF-19SNO10303031 to reflect the nearly complete as-built status of the borehole heater test. This report discusses the fiscal year 2019 (FY19) design, implementation, and preliminary data interpretation plan for a set of borehole heater tests call the brine availability tests in salt (BATS), which is funded by the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), a DOE Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) site. The organization of BATS is outlined in Project Plan: Salt In-Situ Heater Test (SNL, 2018). An early design of the field test is laid out in Kuhlman et al. (2017), including extensive references to previous field tests, which illustrates aspects of the present test. The previous test plan by Stauffer et al. (2015) places BATS in the context of a multi-year testing strategy, which involves tests of multiple scales and processes, eventually culminating in a drift-scale disposal demonstration. This level-3 milestone report is an update of a level-2 milestone report from April 2019 by the same name. The update adds as-built details of the heater test, which at the time of writing (August 2019) is near complete implementation.
Energy Minimization for Cache-Assisted Content Delivery Networks With Wireless Backhaul (2017)

Content caching is an efficient technique to reduce delivery latency and system congestion during peak-traffic time by bringing data closer to end users. In this letter, we investigate energy-efficiency performance of cache-assisted content delivery networks with wireless backhaul by taking into account cache capability when designing the signal transmission. We consider multi-layer caching and the performance in cases when both base station and users are capable of storing content data in their local cache. Specifically, we analyze energy consumption in both backhaul and access links under two uncoded and coded caching strategies. Then two optimization problems are formulated to minimize total energy cost for the two caching strategies while satisfying some given quality of service constraint. We demonstrate via numerical results that the uncoded caching achieves higher energy efficiency than the coded caching in the small user cache size regime.
Advanced modeling technique for bandpass continuous-time delta-sigma modulators (2014)

Transistor-level simulations of complex circuits such as delta-sigma modulators (DSMs) that are used to generate highly accurate results are time consuming because of the nonlinear and switched nature of such systems. Therefore, high-level system modeling is required to reduce the simulation time and allow for effective initial design or successive iterations between system-level and transistor-level simulations. Accordingly, a precise behavioral modeling technique for radiofrequency (RF) continuous time (CT) DSM is presented. The main contribution of this work is the differential nature of the RF CT-DSM model in MATLAB such that is it suited for co-simulation in a circuit simulator environment. The modeling technique and simulation methodology are demonstrated toward the implementation of a 4 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> order RF CT-DSM in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and a description for each block is provided.
Cellular SFN broadcast network modelling and performance analysis (2006)

Broadcast (DVB-T, DAB) and cellular networks (MBMS, BCMCS, EUTRA) can efficiently provide broadcast services via OFDM transmission in a Single Frequency Network (SFN) configuration. This paper describes low-complexity methods of accurately computing the packet error rate (PER) and the link efficiency (b/s/Hz) in OFDM SFN cellular networks in the presence of multipath channels through the use of the Effective Exponential Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio Mapping (EESM) method. A per-subcarrier macro-diverse SINR input into the EESM is derived for the DFT receiver, both with and without transmit diversity, and also for the MMSE receiver. A simplified model of the DFT receiver is then provided and validated. The simplified model can be used with a frequency non-selective modified-Shannon limit model instead of the EESM method, further reducing complexity and eliminating calibration simulations. Using the models, the impact of CP length on broadcast data rate is evaluated for several scenarios of interest. Factors such as useful symbol duration, receive diversity, and transmit power limitations are shown to have a significant effect on the optimal CP duration and overall SFN performance.

Investigation of the preservation effect of canagliflozin on pancreatic beta cell mass using SPECT/CT imaging with 111In-labeled exendin-4 (2019)

Radiolabeled exendin derivatives are promising for non-invasive quantification of pancreatic beta cell mass (BCM); longitudinal observation of BCM for evaluation of therapeutic effects has not been achieved. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the usefulness of our developing method using [Lys<sup>12</sup>(<sup>111</sup>In-BnDTPA-Ahx)]exendin-4 to detect longitudinal changes in BCM. We performed a longitudinal study with obese type 2 diabetes model (db/db) mice administered canagliflozin, which is reported to preserve BCM. Six-week-old mice were assigned to a canagliflozin-administered group or a control group. Blood glucose levels of the canagliflozin group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Plasma insulin levels, insulin secretion during OGTT and insulin content in the pancreas were preserved in the canagliflozin group in comparison with those in the control group. According to SPECT/CT imaging analysis using [Lys<sup>12</sup>(<sup>111</sup>In-BnDTPA-Ahx)]exendin-4, pancreatic uptake was significantly decreased in the control group, whereas there was no significant change in the canagliflozin group. After nine weeks, both pancreatic uptake and BCM of the canagliflozin group were significantly higher than those of the control group, and a correlation between them was observed. In conclusion, our imaging method confirmed the BCM-preservation effect of canagliflozin, and demonstrated its potential for longitudinal evaluation of BCM.
Photocatalytic Water Oxidation by a Mixed‐Valent MnIII3MnIVO3 Manganese Oxo Core that Mimics the Natural Oxygen‐Evolving Center (2014)

Abstract The functional core of oxygenic photosynthesis is in charge of catalytic water oxidation by a multi‐redox Mn III /Mn IV manifold that evolves through five electronic states (S i , where i =0–4). The synthetic model system of this catalytic cycle and of its S 0 →S 4 intermediates is the expected turning point for artificial photosynthesis. The tetramanganese‐substituted tungstosilicate [Mn III 3 Mn IV O 3 (CH 3 COO) 3 (A‐α‐SiW 9 O 34 )] 6− (Mn 4 POM) offers an unprecedented mimicry of the natural system in its reduced S 0 state; it features a hybrid organic–inorganic coordination sphere and is anchored on a polyoxotungstate. Evidence for its photosynthetic properties when combined with [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ and S 2 O 8 2− is obtained by nanosecond laser flash photolysis; its S 0 →S 1 transition within milliseconds and multiple‐hole‐accumulating properties were studied. Photocatalytic oxygen evolution is achieved in a buffered medium (pH 5) with a quantum efficiency of 1.7 %.
Protein Modification by Strain‐Promoted Alkyne–Azide Cycloaddition (2011)

Taking the strain: Strain-promoted cycloadditions between alkynes and azides have facilitated mild and bioorthogonal protein modification. Azides can be introduced into a protein by a variety of chemical, enzymatic or genetic techniques. Now genetic encoding of a cyclooctyne offers new opportunities for protein modification and the study of proteins in their native habitat.

ChemInform Abstract: Design and Synthesis of 3‐Acyl‐2(3H)‐benzoxazolone and 3‐Acyl‐2(3H)‐benzothiazolone Derivatives. (2011)

Abstract The known literature methods to provide access to the title derivatives make use of a base‐catalyzed acyl transfer process utilizing either acid halides or anhydrides as acylating agents allowing the synthesis of acylated species in fair to good yields, but none of them is judged satisfactorily to elaborate a library of the title compounds.
Low temperature rf sputtering deposition of (Ba, Sr) TiO3 thin film with crystallization enhancement by rf power supplied to the substrate (2005)

The (Ba, Sr) TiO3 thin film deposited by radio frequency (rf) sputtering requires a high deposition temperature near 500°C to realize a high relative dielectric constant over of 300. For example, the film deposited at 330°C contains an amorphous phase and shows a low relative dielectric constant of less than 100. We found that rf power supplied not only to the (Ba, Sr) TiO3 sputtering target, but also to the substrate during the initial step of film deposition, enhanced the crystallization of the (Ba, Sr) TiO3 film drastically and realized a high dielectric constant of the film even at low deposition temperatures near 300°C. The 50-nm-thick film with only a 10nm initial layer deposited with the substrate rf biasing is crystallized completely and shows a high relative dielectric constant of 380 at the deposition temperature of 330°C. The (Ba, Sr) TiO3 film deposited at higher temperatures (upwards of 400°C) shows ⟨110⟩ preferred orientation, while the film deposited at 330°C with the 10nm initial layer shows a ⟨111⟩ preferred orientation on a ⟨001⟩-oriented ruthenium electrode. The unit cell of (Ba, Sr) TiO3 (111) plane is similar to that of ruthenium (001) plane. We conclude that the rf power supplied to the substrate causes ion bombardments on the (Ba, Sr) TiO3 film surface, which assists the quasiepitaxial growth of (Ba, Sr) TiO3 film on the ruthenium electrode at low temperatures of less than 400°C.
Propagation of partially coherent beams through particulate media (2003)

When propagating through particulate media, optical beams are degraded owing to scattering. We found that the ratio between the width of the distorted beam and the width of the initial beam decreases when the spatial coherence of the incident beam is reduced. These experimental observations are well described within the paraxial approximation of the transport theory.
Phénomènes de dissipation dans les nanostructures (2006)

Sujet relativement complexe, les phénomènes de dissipation se retrouvent dans de nombreux domaines d’applications et de disciplines. Après un bref rappel du contexte actuel en terme de nanotechnologies, cet article s’attache à expliciter ces phénomène de dissipation dans les nanostructures. Sont également traités les origines des bruits associés à ces nanostructures. Par la suite, le cas particulier du bruit brownien est abordé. Puis, des explications sur la dissipation et sur les bruits dans un nanocapteur inertiel ainsi que dans un nanorésonateur terminent cet article.
Syndactyly and preaxial synpolydactyly in the single Sfrp2 deleted mutant mice (2008)

Secreted Frizzled-related protein 2 (Sfrp2) or Stromal Cell Derived Factor-5 (SDF-5) is highly expressed in the developing limbs. Here we showed the single Sfrp2 inactivation in mice resulted in syndactyly and preaxial synpolydactyly, predominantly in the hindlimbs. Tails were often kinked. A penetrance of the syndactyly was highest in 129/SvJ or CBA/N x 129/SvJ background and the phenotype was haploinsufficient. Preaxial synpolydactyly was seen in homozygous mutants in C57BL/6 x 129/SvJ. Of note, syndactyly showed retarded apoptosis of the second and the third interdigital spaces; concomitantly, mesodermal Msx2 expression was down-regulated. Impaired digital anlagen maturation was also noticeable in the same position. Preaxial synpolydactyly of the Sfrp2 mutants was a non-mirror image type and Shh independent. Although joint formation was not disrupted, chondrocyte maturation was preaxially disturbed. Our results suggest that the Sfrp2 deleted mice can be a useful animal model to study human syndactyly/preaxial synpolydactyly defects.

From Conventional to Microfluidic: Progress in Extracellular Vesicle Separation and Individual Characterization (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 8/2023) (2023)

Single Extracellular Vesicles Physical and biochemical characterization for single extracellular vesicles (EVs) has been gaining more attention for disease diagnosis. With the development of micromachining technologies, microfluidic chips can analyze EVs with precise manipulation, low cost and high portability. In the foreseeable future, the combination of EVs characterization with microfluidics and gradually individualizing them will be a meaningful direction. These considerations are reviewed by Daxiang Cui, Hossam Haick, Ning Tang, and co-workers, in article 2202437.
Identification of a unique binding protein specific for a novel retinoid inducing cellular apoptosis (2000)

The retinoid 6-[3-(1-adamantyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]-2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid (AHPN, CD437) induces apoptosis in a variety of cell types, many of which are cancer cells that resist the antiproliferative and/or differentiating effects of retinoids. While the retinoids exert their effects by binding to the retinoic acid nuclear receptors (RARs) or retinoid X receptors (RXRs), AHPN (CD437) binds to another protein with different ligand specificity. In nuclear extracts from HL-60R cells the binding of AHPN (CD437) was only minimally competed by either retinoic acid (tRA)or 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA), the natural ligands for the RARs and RXRs, respectively. Moreover, AHPN (CD437) was unable to compete with either tRA or 9-cis-RA for binding to endogenous retinoid receptors in nuclear extracts from the MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma cell line. Size exclusion chromatography revealed AHPN binding to a 95 kDa protein(s) which is neither an RAR or RXR. Our results suggest that apoptosis induction by AHPN (CD437) may occur through interaction with another protein and is independent of the RAR/RXR-signaling pathways.
Operation analysis of the push-pull piezoelectric inverter (2002)

Operation of the push-pull inverter with a piezoelectric transformer is analyzed. The piezoelectric transformer is used in the third-order longitudinal vibration mode to produce a high output voltage to light up a cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The load characteristics of the inverter are analyzed using an equivalent circuit of the piezoelectric transformer. The ZVS conditions are derived using simplified equivalent circuits to determine the ZVS operation region. These analytical results are confirmed by experiments.
The isolation from Saccharomyces cerevisiae of two antibacterial cationic proteins that inhibit malolactic bacteria (2015)

Substances with antibacterial activity were recovered from the extracellular medium and from the acidified cell extract of Saccharomyces cerevisiae R107 by binding onto a cation exchanger. The fraction eluted with NaOH contained two different antibacterial factors, one with the characteristics of lysozyme, the other apparently a small protein with a similar high pI. Die Isolierung von zwei bakteriziden, kationischen Proteinen aus Saccharomyces cerevisiae, die Bakterien des Säureabbaus hemmen Substanzen mit bakterizider Wirkung wurden sowohl aus dem Kultursubstrat als auch aus angesäuertem Zellextrakt von Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rl07 mit Hilfe von Kationenaustauscher isoliert. Die mit NaOH eluierte Fraktion enthielt zwei unterschiedliche bakterizide Substanzen, eine mit Lysozymeigenschaften, die andere, ein kleines Protein, mit ähnlich hohem isoelektrischen Punkt.
Distributed compressed sensing in dynamic networks (2013)

We consider the problem of in-network compressed sensing, where the goal is to recover a global, sparse signal from local measurements using only local computation and communication. Our approach to this distributed compressed sensing problem is based on the centralized Iterative Hard Thresholding algorithm (IHT). In time-varying networks, the network dynamics necessarily introduce inaccuracies that are not present in a centralized implementation of IHT. To accommodate these inaccuracies, we show how centralized IHT can be extended to include inexact computations while still providing the same recovery guarantees. We then leverage these new theoretical results to develop a distributed version of IHT for dynamic networks. Evaluations show that our algorithm outperforms the best-known existing solution in both time and bandwidth by several orders of magnitude.
CoScribe: Using Paper for Collaborative Annotations in Lectures (2008)

In a study of notetaking in university courses, we found that the large majority of students prefer the paper medium to the computer for taking notes and making annotations. Based on this finding, we developed CoScribe, a system which supports students in making collaborative handwritten annotations on printed lecture slides. It includes mechanisms for the paper-based sharing and semantic tagging of annotations and slides. Moreover, we present a novel visualization of shared handwritten annotations providing an integrated access to annotations from all learners. A user study indicates that the system efficiently supports student annotation and can be easily integrated into current annotation practice.
Investigating Correlation between the mm-wave Array Antenna and Digital Wireless Communication in the 5G Mobile System (2022)

In this paper, an intuitive approach to assessing advantages of beamforming in 5G wireless communication is proposed as a novel try and practical demonstration of importance of alignment between the transmitter's and receiver's beams working in millimeter-wave frequency bands. The effects of the misalignment and alignment between beams need to be checked for, which was conducted with a horn antenna and the 4 × 4 Butler matrix RF-to-RF wireless connectivity between the horn and the microstrip line beamformer, concerning the changing angle of the beam from the Butler matrix, was tested, showing over 12 dB enhancement in received power. This direct electromagnetic link test was accompanied by examining 64-QAM constellations for beam-angle change.
A singlet oxygen monitor as an in vivo photodynamic therapy dosimeter (2009)

In this paper we describe the development and testing of instruments to measure singlet molecular oxygen produced by the photodynamic process. Singlet oxygen is an active species in photodynamic therapy, and we are developing two instruments for PDT researchers with the goal of a real-time dosimeter for singlet oxygen. We discuss both an ultrasensitive point sensor, and an imaging system that provides simultaneous 2D maps of the photosensitizer fluorescence and the singlet oxygen emission. Results of <i>in vitro</i> tests to characterize the sensors and preliminary in vivo results are presented.
Experimental Measurements of Path Length Sensitivity in Coherent Beam Combining by Spatial Filtering (2012)

The supermode behavior of lasers coherently coupled by a passive spatially filtered cavity has been experimentally measured as a function of path length error between laser cavities. A custom laser-diode pumped Nd:YAG laser is constructed containing two laser channels coupled by a spatial filter. The supermodes are seen to exhibit two different types of behavior depending on the magnitude of the relative path length error. When the path length error is small, the two supermodes present different cavity loss values and can be differentiated by gain. However, when the error exceeds a specific value, the two supermodes have identical loss and different resonant frequencies. Experiments show the two distinct regions predicted by theory, and quantitatively verify the loss, oscillation frequency, and modal power distribution of the supermodes as a function of path length error.
Joint Application of Surface Seismic, VSP and LWD Data for Overpressure Analysis to Optimize Casing Depth (2000)

A-10 JOINT APPLICATION OF SURFACE SEISMIC VSP AND LWD DATA FOR OVERPRESSURE ANALYSIS TO OPTIMIZE CASING DEPTH Abstract 1 Accurate prediction of formation pressure is important for safe drilling and can reduce financial risk significantly. The major concerns during drilling in an overpressure environment are adjusting the mud weight to avoid kicks and setting each casing string as deep as possible. Intermediate VSP data were combined with surface seismic data to give a very good prediction of the location of the overpressure zone at offshore well Leyden-1 Carnarvon Basin Western Australia. This prediction was continuously updated using ISONIC real time
