Substrate-integrated waveguides in glass interposers with through-package-vias (2015)

This paper presents, for the first time, substrate-integrated waveguides (SIWs) in ultra-thin glass with through-package-vias (TPVs). An SIW operating at 20 GHz was designed in bare glass substrates to support the dominant TE10 mode and to avoid exciting TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">20</sub> mode. The simulated propagation constant confirmed the proper design for one-mode excitation, while the distributions of electromagnetic fields and surface current were examined and they exhibited similar patterns to those in dielectric-filled rectangular waveguides. Furthermore, the simulated S-parameter shows that the insertion loss at 20 GHz is 0.67 dB/cm, and 100% relative bandwidth was achieved. Finally, the impacts of TPV taper and the variability of the glass thickness and TPV pitch on the electrical performance of the SIW in glass interposers with TPVs were studied and presented.
Verb generation in patients with focal frontal lesions: A neuropsychological test of neuroimaging findings (1998)

What are the neural bases of semantic memory? Traditional beliefs that the temporal lobes subserve the retrieval of semantic knowledge, arising from lesion studies, have been recently called into question by functional neuroimaging studies finding correlations between semantic retrieval and activity in left prefrontal cortex. Has neuroimaging taught us something new about the neural bases of cognition that older methods could not reveal or has it merely identified brain activity that is correlated with but not causally related to the process of semantic retrieval? We examined the ability of patients with focal frontal lesions to perform a task commonly used in neuroimaging experiments, the generation of semantically appropriate action words for concrete nouns, and found evidence of the necessity of the left inferior frontal gyrus for certain components of the verb generation task. Notably, these components did not include semantic retrieval per se.
[Broncholytic therapy--beta 2 stimulation and vagolysis from an animal experimental viewpoint]. (1978)

Continuous recordings of heart rate, respiration rate, minute volume and bronchial resistance were made over a period of altogether 3 h in spontaneously breathing dogs anesthetized with chloralose. At hourly intervals, before and 1 and 2 h after the administration of bronchodilators, bronchial spasm was induced by inhalation of an acetylcholine solution. Terbutaline, a beta-stimulant, was administered by inhalation in doses of 0.5, 0.16 and 0.05 mg/kg. For comparison, an atropine derivative, ipratrapium bromide, was given in doses of 0.04 and 0.01 mg/kg. Controls received normal saline. Terbutaline caused an increase in heart rate, respiration rate and minute volume. Acetylcholine-induced bronchial spasm was inhibited to the extent of 10-70% for 2 h after the administration of terbutaline. The acetylcholine antagonist ipratropium bromide caused only transient changes in heart rate, respiration rate and minute volume. Acetylcholine-induced bronchial spasm was inhibited by 95% and 80% for 2 h after doses of 0.04 and 0.01 mg/kg respectively. Terbutaline had a slight stimulant effect; ipratropium bromide displayed no stimulant activity.
An In-Depth Comparison of PV Modules in a BIPV Facade Test Setup (2017)

The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively compare different façade-integrated BIPV configurations comprising ventilated, unventilated façades and black or white rear encapsulant color. This paper introduces an experimental set-up and analyses the experimental results that were obtained on three representative days: two sunny days with different wind conditions and one cloudy day. Both temperatures and IV characteristics were continuously logged every 15 seconds. The electrical measurements have evidenced a strong impact of rear encapsulant color, with white modules performing up to 3% better. The thermal study has shown a strong cooling effect caused by cavity ventilation, with ventilated modules performing up to 6% better, as well as an important influence of meteorological conditions.

Removal of Ultra-Low-Frequency Noise from an Ocean-Bottom Pressure Sensor (2020)

Summary Seismic sensors on the sea bed experience a generally quiet environment, but at ultra-low frequencies (less than 1 Hz), there is a ‘noise barrier’, which typically overwhelms the seismic signal. This noise is caused by pressure fluctuations originating from the sea-surface waves. If the sea-surface elevation could be measured (as a function of time and position), this noise could, in principle, be calculated and removed, but this is not practical. However, there is a simpler solution; if a height measurement is made at a position directly above the ocean-bottom sensor, this enables the removal of the noise from that sensor. A practical acquisition system using this method would involve the usual ocean-bottom sensors, but with the addition of a wave sensor located directly above each ocean-bottom sensor.
Risk factors and outcome in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis with persistent biliary Candidiasis (2014)

Introduction: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease. Identification of high-risk patients displays an important issue for clinicians. Beside bacterial infections some studies suggested a strong influence of fungal infections on survival in PSC patients.
Phylogenetic Revision of the Genus Aliivibrio: Intra- and Inter-Species Variance Among Clusters Suggest a Wider Diversity of Species (2021)

Genus <i>Aliivibrio</i> is known to harbor species exhibiting bioluminescence as well as pathogenic behavior affecting the fish farming industry. Current phylogenetic understanding of <i>Aliivibrio</i> has largely remained dormant after reclassification disentangled it from the <i>Vibrio</i> genus in 2007. There is growing evidence of wider diversity, but until now the lack of genomes and selective use of type strains have limited the ability to compare and classify strains firmly. In this study, a total of 143 bacterial strains, including 51 novel sequenced strains, were used to strengthen phylogenetic relationships in <i>Aliivibrio</i> by exploring intra-species and inter-species relations. Multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), applying the six housekeeping genes <i>16S ribosomal RNA</i> (<i>rRNA</i>), <i>gapA</i>, <i>gyrB</i>, <i>pyrH</i>, <i>recA</i>, and <i>rpoA</i>, inferred 12 clades and a singular branch in <i>Aliivibrio</i>. Along with four new phylogenetic clades, the MLSA resolved prior inconsistencies circumscribing <i>Aliivibrio wodanis</i> and formed a unique clade we propose as the novel species <i>Aliivibrio</i> sp. "friggae." Furthermore, phylogenetic assessment of individual marker genes showed <i>gyrB</i>, <i>pyrH</i>, and <i>recA</i> superior to the 16S rRNA gene, resolving accurately for most species clades in <i>Aliivibrio</i>. In this study, we provide a robust phylogenetic groundwork for <i>Aliivibrio</i> as a reference point to classification of species.
Measurements ofBc+Production and Mass with theBc+→J/ψπ+Decay (2012)

Measurements of B(c)(+) production and mass are performed with the decay mode B(c)(+)→J/ψπ(+) using 0.37 fb(-1) of data collected in pp collisions at √[s]=7 TeV by the LHCb experiment. The ratio of the production cross section times branching fraction between the B(c)(+)→J/ψπ(+) and the B(+)→J/ψK(+) decays is measured to be (0.68±0.10(stat)±0.03(syst)±0.05(lifetime))% for B(c)(+) and B(+) mesons with transverse momenta p(T)>4 GeV/c and pseudorapidities 2.5<η<4.5. The B(c)(+) mass is directly measured to be 6273.7±1.3(stat)±1.6(syst) MeV/c(2), and the measured mass difference with respect to the B(+) meson is M(B(c)(+))-M(B(+))=994.6±1.3(stat)±0.6(syst) MeV/c(2).
Complement Is Activated During Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Porcine and Human Discarded Kidneys (2022)

Normothermic kidney machine perfusion induces complement activation in porcine and human kidneys, which is associated with the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and in porcine kidneys with lower creatinine clearance. Complement inhibition during NMP might be a promising strategy to reduce renal graft injury and improve graft function prior to transplantation.
Transferred-Substrate InGaAsP-Based Thermionic Emission Coolers (2000)

Abstract Most optoelectronic devices are based on III-V semiconductors such as the InP/InGaAsP material system. Solid state refrigerators based on the same material system can be monolithically integrated with optoelectronics. Thermionic emission cooling in InGaAsP-based heterostructures has been shown experimentally to provide cooling power densities of several 100 W/cm2. Cooling by several degrees across thin films on the order of a micron thick has been demonstrated. Thermionic emission of hot electrons over heterobarriers allows for enhanced cooling power beyond what is possible from the bulk thermoelectric properties. The thermal resistance of the InP substrate between the hot side of the thin film cooler and the heat sink is found to be a limitation in cooler performance. Several possibilities are examined for replacing the InP substrate with a higher thermally conducting one such as silicon, copper, or even diamond, and a process for substrate transfer to a thin copper film has been developed. Three-dimensional simulations predict an order of magnitude improvement in the thermal resistance of the substrate. Experimental results of packaged InGaAsP coolers with copper substrates will be discussed.
A semi-supervised method for multi-subject FMRI functional alignment (2017)

Practical limitations on the duration of individual fMRI scans have led neuroscientist to consider the aggregation of data from multiple subjects. Differences in anatomical structures and functional topographies of brains require aligning data across subjects. Existing functional alignment methods serve as a preprocessing step that allows subsequent statistical methods to learn from the aggregated multi-subject data. Despite their success, current alignment methods do not leverage the labeled data used in the subsequent methods. In this work we propose a semi-supervised scheme that simultaneously learns the alignment and performs the analysis. We derive a specific instance of the scheme using the Shared Response Model for alignment and Multinomial Logistic Regression for classification. In our experiments this method improves the average classification accuracy from 65.5% to 68.5%, and from 5.3% to 6.1% over the independently-trained methods. Furthermore, our method achieves similar prediction with almost half the samples used for alignment.
Liver Fibrosis in Type I Gaucher Disease: Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Transient Elastography and Parameters of Iron Storage (2013)

Long term liver-related complications of type-1 Gaucher disease (GD), a lysosomal storage disorder, include fibrosis and an increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Splenectomy has been implicated as a risk factor for the development of liver pathology in GD. High ferritin concentrations are a feature of GD and iron storage in Gaucher cells has been described, but iron storage in the liver in relation to liver fibrosis has not been studied. Alternatively, iron storage in GD may be the result of iron supplementation therapy or regular blood transfusions in patients with severe cytopenia. In this pilot study, comprising 14 type-1 GD patients (7 splenectomized, 7 non-splenectomized) and 7 healthy controls, we demonstrate that liver stiffness values, measured by Transient Elastography and MR-Elastography, are significantly higher in splenectomized GD patients when compared with non-splenectomized GD patients (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01, respectively). Liver iron concentration was elevated (>60±30 µmol/g) in 4 GD patients of whom 3 were splenectomized. No relationship was found between liver stiffness and liver iron concentration. HFE gene mutations were more frequent in splenectomized (6/7) than in non-splenectomized (2/7) participants (p = 0.10). Liver disease appeared more advanced in splenectomized than in non-splenectomized patients. We hypothesize a relationship with excessive hepatic iron accumulation in splenectomized patients. We recommend that all splenectomized patients, especially those with evidence of substantial liver fibrosis undergo regular screening for HCC, according to current guidelines.
Nitration of PPARγ inhibits ligand‐dependent translocation into the nucleus in a macrophage‐like cell line, RAW 264 (2002)

Nitration of tyrosine residues in proteins has been observed in many inflammatory tissues of arthritis, ulcerative colitis, septic shock and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Although several studies have been carried out, it is still unclear what type of protein is nitrated and whether tyrosine nitration interferes with protein function. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear receptor whose activation is linked to several physiological pathways including regulation of insulin sensitivity and control of inflammation. PPARgamma possesses several tyrosine residues, which might be potential targets for nitration by peroxynitrite during inflammatory responses. Here we have investigated whether PPARgamma is nitrated in macrophage-like RAW 264 cells and the effect of nitration on the translocation of PPARgamma into the nucleus. Western blot analysis showed that tumor necrosis factor-alpha, lipopolysaccharide or peroxynitrite treatment significantly increases the nitration of PPARgamma. Cell fractionation analysis and immunofluorescence coupled with confocal laser microscopy revealed that nitration of PPARgamma inhibits its ligand-dependent translocation from the cytosol into the nucleus. Together, these results indicate that nitration of PPARgamma during inflammation may be involved in a reduction in the control of inflammatory responses and also in the development of resistance to PPARgamma ligand-based therapies against inflammation.
Heteroepitaxial growth of CuInS2 thin films on sapphire by radio frequency reactive sputtering (2003)

Direct heteroepitaxial growth of uniform stoichiometric CuInS2 (CIS) thin films on sapphire (0001) substrates has been achieved by radio frequency reactive sputtering. X-ray ω–2θ scans reveal that the sputtered layers grow in a (112) orientation with a chalcopyrite structure. A rocking curve full width at half maximum of about 0.05° (180 arc sec) for the (112) peak demonstrates a nearly perfect out-of-plane arrangement of CIS (112)∥sapphire (0001). X-ray diffraction Phi scans further illustrate an excellent in-plane ordering of CIS [1̄10]∥sapphire (101̄0). The sputtered thin CIS epilayers had a smooth surface with a typical root-mean-square roughness of about 3.3 nm as evaluated by atomic force microscopy. The epitaxial growth of tetragonal CIS on hexagonal sapphire provides evidence that heteroepitaxial growth may be realized between structures of different symmetry, such as films of cubic or tetragonal structures on hexagonal substrates or vice versa.

IoT Platform for Sports Analytics (2018)

This paper is an experience report on IoT platforms for sports analytics. In our prior work [11], we proposed iBall, a system that explores the possibility of bringing IoT to sports analytics, particularly to the game of Cricket. iBall develops solutions to track a ball's 3D trajectory and spin with inexpensive sensors and radios embedded in the ball. Towards this end, iBall performs fusion of wireless and inertial sensory data and integrates them into physics-based motion models of a ball in flight. The median ball location error is at 8cm while rotational error remains below 12° even at the end of the flight. The results do not rely on training, hence we expect the core techniques to extend to other sports like baseball, with some domain-specific modifications.
Investigation of Excitonic Effects in Polar InGaN/GaN Quantum Heterostructures for Enhanced Quantum Electroabsorption in Blue (2007)

This work investigates the strong quantum electroabsorption behavior in polar InGaN/GaN quantum heterostructures by carefully designing and controlling the quantum structure parameters and thus obtaining strong excitonic effects for the end goal of making a high-performance quantum electroabsorption modulator in blue. This is due to the reversed quantum confined Stark effect with the realization of 4 nm/4 nm InGaN/GaN structure.
Rapid improvement in a terminal case of hairy cell leukemia treated with a new human recombinant interferon, IFN-alpha-C. (1985)

A new type of human interferon (IFN), IFN-alpha-C, produced in Escherichia coli and purified on monoclonal antibodies, was given at a dose of 3 X 10(6) u (3 micrograms)/day to a terminally ill unsplenectomized patient with hairy cell leukemia, who had had severe recurrent infections and pancytopenia. There was marked reduction in the size of the spleen after 2 weeks, and platelet counts returned to normal after 1 month of treatment. The IFN treatment also raised the granulocyte counts and hemoglobin levels, improved the normal repopulation of the bone marrow, and restored resistance to infections. IFN-alpha-C was well tolerated, without serious side effects, and treatment has been continued for 10 months.
Andreev reflection at the interface with an oxide in the quantum Hall regime (2018)

Quantum Hall/superconductor junctions have been an attractive topic as the two macroscopically quantum states join at the interface. Despite longstanding efforts, however, experimental understanding of this system has not been settled yet. One of the reasons is that most semiconductors hosting high-mobility two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) usually form Schottky barriers at the metal contacts, preventing efficient proximity between the quantum Hall edge states and Cooper pairs. Only recently have relatively transparent 2DES/superconductor junctions been investigated in graphene. In this study, we propose another material system for investigating 2DES/superconductor junctions, that is ZnO-based heterostrcuture. Due to the ionic nature of ZnO, a Schottky barrier is not effectively formed at the contact with a superconductor MoGe, as evidenced by the appearance of Andreev reflection at low temperatures. With applying magnetic field, while clear quantum Hall effect is observed for ZnO 2DES, conductance across the junction oscillates with the filling factor of the quantum Hall states. We find that Andreev reflection is suppressed in the well developed quantum Hall regimes, which we interpret as a result of equal probabilities of normal and Andreev reflections as a result of multiple Andreev reflection at the 2DES/superconductor interface.

Recent Advances in Thermal Modeling of Micro-Evaporators for Cooling of Microprocessors (2007)

Cooling of microprocessors using flow boiling of low pressure refrigerants in multi-microchannel evaporator cooling elements is a promising technique for dissipation of footprint heat fluxes of over 300 W/cm2 while maintaining the chip safely below its maximum working temperature, providing a nearly uniform chip base temperature and minimizing energy consumption. The present invited lecture focuses on our recent experimental work and modeling of two-phase flow and boiling in single and multi-microchannels, covering: bubble dynamics, bubble coalescence, flow pattern recognition, diabatic flow pattern map, critical heat flux, hot spots, flow boiling heat transfer and two-phase pressure drops.

The Chemistry of Sulfidation Corrosion-Revisited (1997)

Bien que beaucoup de questions soient resolues en ce qui concerne l'oxydation acceleree des super alliages par les depots de sels corrosifs, il reste encore quelques questions sans reponses. La composition chimique du sel de mer qui entre dans les moteurs est differente de celle des sels qui adherent aux composants des compresseurs. Ces sels sont pratiquement identiques en composition aux sels que l'on trouve sur les elements de turbines. Toutefois les chlorures qui sont une part importante du sel de mer ne sont pas identifies dans les depots formes dans les turbines. Il est egalement curieux de constater que la composition des sels trouves a l'interieur des turbines a refroidissement par air soit identique a celle des sels presents sur les elements externes des turbines alors qu'il n'y a pas eu de contact avec les produits de combustion. Nous presenterons ici les observations les plus recentes et nous passerons en revue les mecanismes de depots qui interviennent dans le compresseur et dans la turbine a gaz.
Comprehensive promoter level expression quantitative trait loci analysis of the human frontal lobe (2016)

Our data contain both coding and non-coding transcripts and has the added value that we have identified eQTLs for variants directly adjacent to TSS. Future eQTL studies would benefit from combining CAGEseq with RNA sequencing for a more complete interpretation of the transcriptome and increased understanding of eQTL signals.
Prostanoid EP4Receptor Stimulation Produces Ocular Hypotension by a Mechanism That Does Not Appear to Involve Uveoscleral Outflow (2009)

The EP(4) receptor agonist 3,7-dithia PGE(1) is a highly efficacious IOP-lowering drug in monkeys. It has no effect on uveoscleral outflow but does increase total outflow facility, which accounts for a substantial proportion of the ocular hypotensive activity.
