Human response to low-intensity sonic booms heard indoors and outdoors (2006)

A house on Edwards Air Force Base, CA, was exposed to low-intensity N-wave sonic booms during a 3-week test period in June 2006. The house was instrumented to measure the booms both inside and out. F-18 aircraft were flown to achieve a variety of boom overpressures from approximately 0.01 to 0.06 psf. During 4 test days, 77 test subjects heard the booms while seated inside and outside the house. Using the Magnitude Estimation methodology and artificial reference sounds, the subjects rated the annoyance of the booms. Since the same subjects heard similar booms both inside and outside the house, comparative ratings of indoor and outdoor annoyance were obtained. Preliminary results from this test will be presented.
High Capacity Thick Cathode with a Porous Aluminum Current Collector for Various Rechargeable Lithium Batteries (2015)

As one of the methods to improve the energy density of lithium secondary battery, the use of high capacity anode and cathode materials has been focused. Although metals and alloys are mentioned as anode material candidates with high capacity, on the other hand, the candidates for high capacity cathode are insufficient currently. Therefore, a large amount of active material has to be accumulated and compressed to the cathode to achieve high energy density in consideration of the capacity balance with anode (Fig. 1). However, good performance cannot be obtained in the conventional thick coating electrode with a large amount of active material. The thick coating electrode has many problems. The ohmic resistance increases as the distance between a current collector and active material is made longer. In addition, many cracks, dropouts, and exfoliations are caused by volume changes of the coated layer during charge and discharge. In this study, the high capacity thick cathode has been realized by using a porous aluminum as a current collector as a practical method to improve the energy density of lithium secondary battery (Fig. 2). The combination of the thick cathode with a very high capacity per unit area and a high capacity anode can omit the amount of supporting materials such as a separator in batteries, resulting in the high energy density. The various thick cathodes were prepared using lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, and lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide, respectively, and their electrochemical characteristics were evaluated by half-cell test. Though the cathodes had about several times larger capacity than conventional coating cathodes, they exhibited excellent rate performance. For example, the cell comprised of the thick cathode using lithium iron phosphate with a porous aluminum and two pieces of graphite anodes showed approximately 4-5 times capacity of the cell using conventional coating electrode at the same effective electrode area, and no large difference was observed for a in the polarization of charge-discharge at 1.0CA (Fig. 3). In a cycle-life test, the cell exhibited an excellent charge-discharge cycle performance, and retained approximately 80% of initial capacity even at 2,000th cycle (Fig.4). Such excellent performance is expected to be due to the easy electrolyte permeation from one side to the other side of the thick cathode, which is achieved by a porous aluminum current collector in addition to three-dimensional current collection. Of course, the lithium-ion diffusion in the cathode is expected to be insufficient for charge and discharge reactions when the cathode and C rate become thicker and larger, respectively. Thus, further optimization is needed for the cathode as well as for the electrolyte solution and separator to improve the ion supply in the cell. Such battery design will be also mentioned in this study. Figure 1
Optimized ultra-wideband linear raised-power-series antenna arrays (2009)

Recently, there have arisen several new methods of aperiodic antenna array design that are capable of very low sidelobe level performance over ultra-wide bandwidths. The linear polyfractal arrays yielding acceptable performance over many octaves of bandwidth. Similarly, wideband planar arrays are created and optimized based on aperiodic tilings. In this paper, the raised-power-series (RPS) method introduced here is based on a simple mathematical expression which is exploited as a means of constructing aperiodic linear arrays. A genetic algorithm is implemented to extract the best performance from the RPS array geometry.
Naturally Derived Carbon Dots In Situ Confined Self-Healing and Breathable Hydrogel Monolith for Anomalous Diffusion-Driven Phytomedicine Release (2022)

Fluorescent nanocarbons are well-proficient nanomaterials because of their optical properties and surface engineering. Herein, <i>Apium graveolens</i>-derived carbon dots (ACDs) have been synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal process without using any surplus vigorous chemicals or ligands. ACDs were captured via an in situ gelation reaction to form a semi-interpenetrating polymer network system showing mechanical robustness, fluorescent behavior, and natural adhesivity. ACDs-reinforced hydrogels were tested against robust uniaxial stress, repeated mechanical stretching, thixotropy, low creep, and fast strain recovery, confirming their elastomeric sustainability. Moreover, the room-temperature self-healing behavior was observed for the ACDs-reinforced hydrogels, with a healing efficacy of more than 45%. Water imbibition through hydrogel surfaces was digitally monitored via "breathing" and "accelerated breathing" behaviors. The phytomedicine release from the hydrogels was tuned by the ACDs' microstructure regulatory activity, resulting in better control of the diffusion rate compared to conventional chemical hydrogels. Finally, the phytomedicine-loaded hydrogels were found to be excellent bactericidal materials eradicating more than 85% of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The delayed network rupturing, superstretchability, fluorescent self-healing, controlled release, and antibacterial behavior could make this material an excellent alternative to soft biomaterials and soft robotics.
A deep micro-trench on silica glass fabricated by laserinduced backside wet etching (LIBWE) (2007)

By using laser-induced backside wet etching (LIBWE), we have fabricated very deep micro-trenches in silica glass of 9-μm width and 300-μm depth (aspect ratio ≈ 33). In this paper, we present the details of fabricating the micro-trenches, and discuss why such a deep micro-trench is available by the LIBWE method.
Intracellular Localization Map of Human Herpesvirus 8 Proteins (2007)

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma. We present a localization map of 85 HHV-8-encoded proteins in mammalian cells. Viral open reading frames were cloned with a Myc tag in expression plasmids, confirmed by full-length sequencing, and expressed in HeLa cells. Protein localizations were analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Fifty-one percent of all proteins were localized in the cytoplasm, 22% were in the nucleus, and 27% were found in both compartments. Surprisingly, we detected viral FLIP (v-FLIP) in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm, whereas cellular FLIPs are generally localized exclusively in the cytoplasm. This suggested that v-FLIP may exert additional or alternative functions compared to cellular FLIPs. In addition, it has been shown recently that the K10 protein can bind to at least 15 different HHV-8 proteins. We noticed that K10 and only five of its 15 putative binding factors were localized in the nucleus when the proteins were expressed in HeLa cells individually. Interestingly, in coexpression experiments K10 colocalized with 87% (13 of 15) of its putative binding partners. Colocalization was induced by translocation of either K10 alone or both proteins. These results indicate active intracellular translocation processes in virus-infected cells. Specifically in this framework, the localization map may provide a useful reference to further elucidate the function of HHV-8-encoded genes in human diseases.

Electrically Pumped Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers Suitable for Passive Modelocking (2011)

Modelocked optically pumped vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers (VECSELs) have generated up to 6.4-W average power, which is higher than for any other semiconductor lasers. Electrical pumping of modelocked VECSELs is the next step toward a higher level of integration. With continuous wave (cw) electrically pumped (EP) VECSELs, an average output power of 900 mW has been demonstrated from the undisclosed proprietary novalux extended cavity surface emitting laser (NECSEL) design. In contrast, modelocked NECSELs have only been demonstrated at 40 mW. Recently, we presented a numerical study of EP-VECSELs suitable for modelocked operation; here, we demonstrate the first realization of this design. Power scaling is achieved with a lateral mode size increase. The competing electrical and optical requirements are, on the electrical side, low ohmic resistance, and on the optical side, low optical losses and low dispersion. Additionally, the device needs to operate in a fundamental mode for stable modelocking. We have fabricated and characterized 60 EP-VECSELs with varying dimensions and compared their lasing performance with our numerical simulations. The tradeoff between good beam quality and output power is discussed with an outlook to the modelocking of these EP-VECSELs. Initial EP-VECSEL devices have generated >;100 mW of cw output power.
A Critical Review of the Oxidation of Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2and Cr2AlC in Air (2013)

Of all the M n+1AX n phases, the most resistant to oxidation in air in the 900–1,400°C temperature range are Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and Cr2AlC. A literature review, however, shows that while many claim the oxidation kinetics to be parabolic, others claim them to be cubic. Whether the kinetics are parabolic or better is of vital practical importance. By carefully re-plotting the results of others and carrying out one oxidation run for ≈3,000 h at 1,200°C on a Ti2AlC sample, we conclude that the oxidation kinetics are better described by cubic kinetics and that even that conclusion is an approximation. Lastly, we present compelling evidence that the rate-limiting step during the oxidation of Ti2AlC is diffusion down the alumina scale grain boundaries.
Prospective randomised comparison of irrigated-tip and large-tip catheter ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter*1 (2004)

Virulence of coagulase-deficient mutants of Staphylococcus aureus in experimental endocarditis (1994)

A sensitive rat endocarditis model which employed relatively small inocula (< or = 10(4) cfu) was used to examine the role of coagulase in the pathogenesis of infection. Rats with indwelling, intracardiac catheters were challenged intravenously with three strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The virulence of a coagulase-positive parental strain DU5808 was compared in terms of its ID50 for resected vegetations and catheters to that of two coagulase-negative mutant strains (DU5809 and DU5814) which had undergone site-specific mutagenesis. Confidence intervals of infection rates were calculated and comparisons were performed of weights of infected vegetations, bacterial concentrations in vegetations and early mortality rates. From these virulence parameters, it was concluded that there were no differences in virulence among the three strains. The results from this investigation support the previous findings in mouse models of subcutaneous infection and mastitis, which indicated that coagulase production by S. aureus does not appear to function as a virulence factor. Together, these data refute the longheld belief that coagulase is important in the pathogenesis of infection and indicate that other markers of virulence must be operative in diseases caused by the enduring pathogen S. aureus.
Low-power SRAM design using half-swing pulse-mode techniques (1998)

This paper describes a half-swing pulse-mode gate family that uses reduced input signal swing without sacrificing performance. These gates are well suited for decreasing the power in SRAM decoders and write circuits by reducing the signal swing on high-capacitance predecode lines, write bus lines, and bit lines. Charge recycling between positive and negative half-swing pulses further reduces the power dissipation. These techniques are demonstrated in a 2-K/spl times/16-b SRAM fabricated in a 0.25-/spl mu/m dual-V/sub t/ CMOS technology that dissipates 0.9 mW operating at 1 V, 100 MHz, and room temperature. On-chip voltage samplers were used to probe internal nodes.

Classification and characterization of human full-length cDNA clones that are difficult to sequence (2008)

In the Full-length Human cDNA Sequencing Project, 30,160 cDNA were sequenced. Among them, our group performed sequencing of 3,588 cDNAs, mainly using the primer walking method. The sequences achieved an average Phrap score of 76, which means the average of expected sequence accuracy was 99.9999975%, by sequencing of both strands with the criterion of a Phrap score over 30. In spite of the extremely high sequence reliability, we met with difficulty in sequencing 52 cDNAs, which are termed undecipherable cDNAs. cDNAs of long repeats were considered as a possible source of sequencing difficulty; their maximum repeat length sequenced by the primer walking method was 530 bp, without using the random method, and 81% of long repeat sequences remained in the ORFs. In single repeat regions, the insertion/deletion rates were much larger than in the usual regions. The fraction of SINE/Alu repeats in the cDNAs was 5.4%, half of the fraction of the human genome. The fraction of SINE/Alu in undecipherable cDNAs was up to 10%, the same level of the human genome.
Continuous exposure to high concentrations of nitric oxide leads to persistent inhibition of oxygen consumption by J774 cells as well as extraction of oxygen by the extracellular medium (2000)

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in many physiological and pathophysiological events, including the control of cell respiration. Both reversible and irreversible inhibition of mitochondrial respiration have been reported following the generation of NO by cells. We have exposed the murine macrophage cell line J774 to high concentrations of NO, such as are generated in some pathological conditions, and determined their effect on oxygen consumption. We observed a persistent inhibition of respiration which was due to a redox-dependent, progressive inhibition of complex I activity. No other enzyme of the respiratory chain was inhibited in this way. At the same time, we detected a paradoxical removal of oxygen by the extracellular medium. This removal was due to a chemical interaction between dissolved oxygen and NO-related species released from cells exposed to NO. A similar removal of oxygen by the cell supernatant also occurred following activation of cells with cytokines and bacterial products. Thus, the amounts of NO generated during pathological conditions may contribute to tissue hypoxia both by inhibiting cell respiration and by promoting removal of oxygen from the extracellular medium.
Non-ionic photo-acid generators for applications in two-photon lithography (2008)

Non-ionic photoacid generators (PAGs) have been designed and synthesized for use in two-photon lithography (TPL). The chromophores in these new PAGs are covalently linked to the photocleavable group by a flexible joint. Their thermal stability, solubility and efficiency to produce acid under both one- and two-photon excitation were characterized. The potential of these PAGs for TPL was tested in two negative-tone resist systems relying on different mechanisms: free-radical/cationic polymerization or a cationically initiated cross-linking reaction. These PAGs needed lower threshold power for polymerization compared to a commercially available photoinitiator, isopropylthioxanthone, and a photoacid generator, N-hydroxynaphthalimide triflate. Microstructures with a resolution of 0.6 µm were fabricated and the threshold power for polymerization was found to be below 2 mW.

Many roads from mTOR to eIF4F (2013)

The process of cell growth depends on a complex co-ordinated programme of macromolecular synthesis that can be tuned to environmental constraints. In eukaryotes, the mTOR [mammalian (or mechanistic) target of rapamycin] signalling pathway is a master regulator of this process, in part by regulating mRNA translation through control of the eIF4F (eukaryotic initiation factor 4F) initiation complex. The present review discusses the role of this relationship in mTOR-regulated gene expression, and its contribution to phenotypes associated with deregulated mTOR signalling, such as cancer.
Control of Reactivity in Nanoporous Metal/Ionic Liquid Composite Catalysts (2018)

In this program, we explored a new concept in nanostructured heterogeneous catalysis design – the nanoporous metal/ionic liquid (IL) composite. Over the course of this entire program from inception, we produced sixteen publications [DOE1-DOE16]. The idea behind this concept was to tailor the chemical environment within and near the pores of a nanoporous high surface area metal electrocatalyst in order to enhance the aggregate composite activity and selectivity. Most electrocatalyst design focuses upon lowering the activation barrier for a particular synthesis reaction. While we also try to minimize this quantity, one should also recognize that significant catalytic enhancements can be made by biasing the reaction to completion via control of the environment in which the reaction occurs. Specific ideas we explored in this program included (a) chemically biasing mass transport of reactants to the catalyst surface and products away from it, and (b) corralling of reactants and products to spatially separate them and reduce side reactions. We made a particular focus on electrocatalysis under kinetically limited conditions, and in which the catalyst is a nanoporous metal and the biasing environment is an ionic liquid impregnating the pores.
Evaluation of HEVC compression for high bit depth medical images (2016)

We evaluate the performance of HEVC Intra and Inter coding of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard based medical images in both lossless and lossy mode compared to JPEG 2000 (JP2). Prior studies have used Main Still Profile to evaluate lossless HEVC Intra coding whereas we have used HEVC Range extension Profiles. Besides lossless Intra coding, our study evaluates lossless Inter prediction of DICOM based medical image series. The results show that HEVC Inter Prediction achieves reduction in file size up to 39% for the lossless inter mode and up to 94% for lossy mode in case of images with low loss accepted in some medical imaging (PSNR greater than 50 dB). This reduction of file size is significant and can be used to reduce transmission and storage cost especially in a cloud based e-healthcare scenario.
