State-of-health Estimation for Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries Based on Constant-voltage Charge Data Using a Resistor-inductor Network Based Equivalent Circuit Model (2021)

State-of-health (SoH) is one of the critical battery states that must be estimated and monitored by the on-board battery management system in electric vehicles. In this paper, the capacity degradation for the lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> ) battery is detected based on the fast-dynamic behavior of the charge current during the constant-voltage (CV) period. Firstly, the time constant of the fast-dynamic CV charge current, i.e., Teq,1 of the simplified $2^{\mathrm{n}\mathrm{d}}-$order resistor-inductor (RL) network based equivalent circuit model (ECM) developed by the authors, is selected as a characteristic parameter correlating with the battery capacity fade, and the reference regression function between Teq,1 and the battery SoH is established. Furthermore, for the incomplete CV charge process, the reference regression function can be estimated by constructing the linear prediction model and the subsequent extrapolation. At last, the aging data from four LiFePO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">4</inf> batteries are employed to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method yields a satisfactory SoH estimation accuracy, and is robust to the incomplete CV charge process.

Transformation Optics Inspired Multibeam Lens Antennas for Broadband Directive Radiation (2013)

Recent advancements in transformation optics (TO) and metamaterials have inspired tremendous interest in the electromagnetic community, creating a variety of novel antennas with enhanced performance, such as broad bandwidth, large gain, and high polarization efficiency. Although there could be infinitely many transformations for designing a given device, most of them result in rather complicated material compositions. This paper compares two recently introduced TO techniques, both of which lead to much simpler material requirements. In particular, a linear geometrical transformation or a quasi-conformal mapping was employed to design multi-beam collimating lenses, which possess either homogeneous or isotropic constituent materials. A systematic comparison is made for the first time between these two TO design approaches for a specific example of a quad-beam focusing lens, where the advantages and disadvantages of each method are clearly identified. Full-wave numerical simulations were performed to demonstrate the well-collimated beams produced by the TO lenses designed by either transformation. The characteristics of the two lens antennas, such as radiation pattern and bandwidth, were contrasted, providing valuable guidance on design tradeoffs for a specific application.
The rolling unrestrained brachistochrone (1987)

We have generalized the unrestained brachistochrone problem to include rolling objects in order to construct a demonstration brachistochrone track. Due to the nature of the constraints this well-posed extremal problem cannot be solved using the techniques of Euler and Lagrange. The solution, parametrized by a measure of the generalized cylinder’s moment of inertia, reduces to that for the (sliding) unrestrained brachistochrone in the limit of vanishing moment of inertia.
Synthesis and characterization of new cardo polyamides derived from 8,8-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane (1999)

A series of novel cardo polyamides were prepared by direct polycondensation of 8,8-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane and various aromatic dicarboxylic acids in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. The polymers were produced with high yield and moderate to high inherent viscosities of 0.71–1.40 dL·g–1. Nearly all the polymers could be readily dissolved in polar aprotic solvents such as NMP, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide as well as less polar solvents such as pyridine and γ-butyrolactone. The polymers were solution-cast from DMAc solution into transparent, flexible, and tough films which were further characterized by X-ray and mechanical analysis. Nearly all the polymers were amorphous, and the polyamide films had a tensile strength range of 97–111 MPa, an elongation at break range of 9–11%, and a tensile modulus range of 1.9–2.3 GPa. The polyamides had glass transition temperatures between 251–272°C and 10% weight loss temperatures in the range of 468–490 and 499–532°C in nitrogen and air atmosphere, respectively.
An Adaptive Anomaly Detector used in Turbofan Test Cells (2010)

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; Airplane engines use sophisticated technologies to improve their efficiency, reduce their weight, reduce fuel consumption, limit NOx generation and reduce the generated noise. On another hand, airlines want to decrease their maintenance costs. These changes may have an effect on engine reliability and there is a greater need to understand and control the behavior of the engine. This is the goal of PHM algorithms. However, if such algorithms are "easy" to build, V&amp;V stay a challenge. To increase their readiness level, Snecma, as engine manufacturer, tests all engines on bench cells during development phases and before reception. Now Snecma chooses also to use PHM algorithms on bench tests. It helps the maturation of the code itself but it is also a way to monitor the bench cells.&#x0D; The present document describes an implementation on a partial bench test cell of a generic abnormality detector. The first section gives an outlook at the implementation of some algorithms on a real test cell. The second section is the description of the main algorithm: an online abnormality detector able to automatically update when new recurrent usual observations appear. Finally the last section sketches some results obtained during the execution of the algorithm.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;
Data from Tumor Suppressor Functions of miR-133a in Colorectal Cancer (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;Dysregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression was profiled through a miRNA array comparison between human colorectal cancer tumors and their adjacent normal tissues. Specifically, using laser capture micro-dissection, miR-133a was shown to be significantly downregulated in primary colorectal cancer specimens compared with matched adjacent normal tissue. Ectopic expression of miR-133a significantly suppressed colorectal cancer cell growth &lt;i&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;in vivo&lt;/i&gt;. Cell-cycle analysis revealed that miR-133a induced a G&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;/G&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;-phase arrest, concomitant with the upregulation of the key G&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;-phase regulator p21&lt;sup&gt;Cip1&lt;/sup&gt;. We further revealed that miR-133a markedly increased p53 protein and induced p21&lt;sup&gt;Cip1&lt;/sup&gt; transcription. Studies &lt;i&gt;in silico&lt;/i&gt; revealed that the 3′UTR of the ring finger and FYVE-like domain containing E3-ubiquitin protein ligase (RFFL), which regulates p53 protein, contains an evolutionarily conserved miR-133a binding site. miR-133a repressed RFFL-3′UTR reporter activity and reduced RFFL protein levels, indicating that miR-133a directly bound to RFFL mRNA and inhibited RFFL translation. Moreover, miR-133a sensitized colon cancer cells to doxorubicin and oxaliplatin by enhancing apoptosis and inhibiting cell proliferation. These data add weight to the significance of miR-133a in the development of CRC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Implications:&lt;/b&gt; miR-133a serves as a potential tumor suppressor upstream of p53 in colorectal cancer and may sensitize cells to therapeutics. &lt;i&gt;Mol Cancer Res; 11(9); 1051–60. ©2013 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Role of Salvage Radical Prostatectomy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radiation Therapy (2005)

Patients with isolated local recurrence of prostate cancer after radiation therapy may potentially be cured of their disease by salvage radical prostatectomy (RP). The stage-specific 5-year cancer-control rates of salvage RP resemble those of standard RP. However, the ability to effectively administer salvage treatment to patients with radiorecurrent disease is compromised by the lack of diagnostic tests with sufficient sensitivity and specificity to detect local recurrence at an early stage while it is amenable to local salvage therapy. By the time biochemical recurrence is declared using the current American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology definition, the majority of patients have advanced local disease, precluding successful local salvage therapy. When salvage RP is performed at prostate-specific antigen levels of 10 ng/mL or less, an estimated 70% of patients are free of disease at 5 years. With better patient selection and technical modifications, the morbidity associated with salvage RP has improved substantially. Rates of urinary incontinence and anastomotic stricture are acceptable, although one third of patients will experience these complications. Salvage cryotherapy is a minimally invasive alternative to salvage RP, but cancer-control rates appear to be inferior and it does not provide a clear advantage over salvage RP in terms of reduced morbidity. Patients with local recurrence after radiation therapy are at increased risk of metastatic progression and cancer-specific mortality. Currently, salvage RP represents the only curative treatment option for these patients. Salvage RP may favorably alter the natural history of biochemical recurrence after radiation therapy, but it must be instituted early in the course of recurrent disease to be effective.
High power radial polarization conversion using photonic crystal segmented half-wave-plate (2008)

We generated 110 watts of radial polarized laser beam from Yb fiber laser using photonic-crystal segmented half-wave-plate. This is a promising external radial polarization converter for fiber laser used in the laser cutting industry.
Focusing light in a curved-space (2010)

We use transformation optics to demonstrate 2D silicon nanolenses, with wavelength-independent focal point. The lenses are designed and fabricated with dimensions ranging from 5.0 microm x 5.0 microm to 20 microm x 20 microm. According to numerical simulations the lenses are expected to focus light over a broad wavelength range, from 1.30 mum to 1.60 mum. Experimental results are presented from 1.52 microm to 1.61 microm.
Neonatal Meningitis Due to Escherichia coli K1 (1977)

Human neonates are uniquely susceptible to serious infections due to Escherichia coli. Investigation of the serotypes of E. coli isolated from neonates with meningitis revealed that greater than 80% of the isolates possessed the capsular polysaccharide antigen designated K1. Cultures of stool from healthy infants, children, and adults have shown that K1 organisms are commonly found in individuals of all ages. Studies of mother-infant pairs have demonstrated transmission of K1 strains from mother to infant shortly after birth. In the rare infant who develops meningitis due to E. coli K1, serotype analysis frequently reveals that the same organism was isolated from the infant's cerebrospinal fluid and from the stools of both mother and infant. Preliminary investigations of humoral immunity demonstrated an age-related acquisition of antibodies to the capsular polysaccharide of E. coli K1 in healthy infants and children. An animal model was developed in which feeding of E. coli K1 to infant rats resulted in colonization, bacteremia, and meningitis in the animals.
Passive force display using ER brakes and its control experiments (2002)

Force information is often required for tele-operation systems and virtual reality. Conventional force displays are active systems with actuators. This, however, is inherently active, so that it may become a danger. Consequently, passive force display is an effective method for assuring safety. The authors developed a brake using ER (electrorheological) fluid and passive force display using ER brakes. They discuss two degree of freedom passive force display and basic control experiments.

Data from Targeting Superficial or Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma with Topically Formulated Small Molecule Inhibitor of Smoothened (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; Inappropriate activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in skin is critical for the development of basal cell carcinomas (BCC). We have investigated the anti-BCC efficacy of topically-applied CUR61414, an inhibitor of the Hh signal transduction molecule Smoothened.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; In preclinical studies, we used a depilatory model to evaluate the ability of topical formulations of CUR61414 to repress Hh responsive cells found at the base of hair follicles in normal skin. We also tested the &lt;i&gt;in vivo&lt;/i&gt; effects of topical CUR61414 on murine BCCs developed in &lt;i&gt;Ptch1&lt;/i&gt; &lt;sup&gt;+/−&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;i&gt;K14-CreER2 p53 fl&lt;/i&gt;/&lt;i&gt;fl&lt;/i&gt; mice. In a phase I clinical study, we evaluated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a multidose regimen of CUR61414 (0.09%, 0.35%, 1.1%, and 3.1%) applied topically to human superficial or nodular BCCs for up to 28 days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; In mice, topical CUR61414 significantly inhibited skin Hh signaling, blocked the induction of hair follicle anagen, and shrank existing BCCs. However, we observed no clinical activity of this formulation in human superficial or nodular BCCs in a phase I clinical study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; Our data highlight some of the challenges of translating preclinical experience into successful human results for a topical anticancer agent. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 17(10); 3378–87. ©2011 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Metachronous Bilateral Renal Cell Carcinoma: Risk Assessment, Prognosis and Relevance of the Primary-Free Interval (2007)

Long-term survival rates of metachronous, bilateral renal cell carcinoma are moderate. von Hippel-Lindau disease, a family history of renal cell carcinoma, multifocal first renal cell carcinoma and young patient age are independent risk factors for contralateral renal cell carcinoma. These risk factors support close and extended abdominal surveillance following nephrectomy for unilateral renal cell carcinoma. Patients with a longer primary-free interval have a more favorable prognosis.
A Two-Liquid Electroosmotic Pump for Portable Drug Delivery Systems (2007)

Portable drug delivery systems present an opportunity to improve patient mobility and reduce drug dosage. Infusion pumps for drug delivery are heavily used in hospital and home care settings to administer a variety of therapies such as chemotherapy, antimicrobials, analgesia, anesthesia, and post-operative and chronic pain management. We are developing electroosmotic (EO) pumps for drug delivery applications. EO pumps offer active dosage control, are compact, use low power, and have no moving parts. We here explore a two-liquid EO pump that decouples the drug from the working electrolyte with a series of collapsible membranes and enables EO pumping of a wide variety of medications.
Scintillation properties of Er3+-activated BaO–Nb2O5–TeO2 glasses (2023)

Abstract Recently, glasses have gained great interest for use as scintillators owing to lots of industrial benefits such as ease of producing customizable shapes and low production cost. Herein, the Er 3+ -activated BaO–Nb 2 O 5 –TeO 2 glasses were fabricated for the development of NIR glass scintillators. The Er 3+ -activated BaO–Nb 2 O 5 –TeO 2 glasses exhibited efficient photoluminescence and scintillation that originated from the 4f→4f transition of Er 3+ . Their quantum yields in photoluminescence were 80% (0.1%Er 2 O 3 ), 81% (0.5%Er 2 O 3 ), and 61% (1.0%Er 2 O 3 ). Further, an almost linear correlation between an X-ray dose rate and NIR scintillation intensity was observed in the 0.5–5000 mGy h −1 dose rate range. Interestingly, the lowest detectable dose rate limit (0.5 mGy h −1 ) was lower than that of Er-doped Bi 4 Ge 3 O 12 and Nd-doped GdVO 4 single crystals. Further, afterglow levels of the non-doped and Er 3+ -activated BaO–Nb 2 O 5 –TeO 2 glasses were about 600 ppm. The observed NIR scintillation properties indicated that the Er 3+ -activated tellurite glasses should be promising compounds for NIR-emitting scintillators.
MC signals with constant PMEPR (2007)

Although we have seen that most of the MC signals have peaks of value about √n ln n, there are plenty of signals with maxima of order √n. This chapter is devoted to methods of constructing such signals. I begin with relating the maxima in signals to the distribution of their a periodic correlations (Theorem 7.2). Then I describe in Section 7.2 the Rudin–Shapiro sequences over {−1, 1}, guaranteeing a PMEPR of at most 2 for n being powers of 2. They appear in pairs, where each one of the sequences possesses the claimed property. The Rudin–Shapiro sequences are representatives of a much broader class of complementary sequences discussed in Section 7.3. The signals defined by these sequences also have a PMEPR not exceeding 2, while existing for a wider spectrum of lengths. In Section 7.4, I introduce complementary sets of sequences. The number of sequences in the sets can be more than two, and the corresponding sequences have a PMEPR not exceeding the number of sequences in the set. In Section 7.5, I generalize the earlier derived results to the polyphase case, and describe a general construction of complementary pairs and sets stemming from cosets of the first-order Reed–Muller codes within the second-order Reed–Muller codes. Another idea in constructing sequences with low PMEPR is to use vectors defined by evaluating the trace of a function over finite fields or rings. This topic is explored in Section 7.6 using estimates for exponential sums. Finally, in Sections 7.7 and 7.8, I study two classes of sequences, M-sequences and Legendre sequences, guaranteeing PMEPR of order at most (ln n)2.
Block Ciphers Implementations Provably Secure Against Second Order Side Channel Analysis. (2008)

In the recent years, side channel analysis has received a lot of attention, and attack techniques have been improved. Side channel analysis of second order is now successful in breaking implementations of block ciphers supposed to be effectively protected. This progress shows not only the practicability of second order attacks, but also the need for provably secure countermeasures. Surprisingly, while many studies have been dedicated to the attacks, only a few papers have been published about the dedicated countermeasures. In fact, only the method proposed by Schramm and Paar at CT-RSA 2006 enables to thwart second order side channel analysis. In this paper, we introduce two new methods which constitute a worthwhile alternative to Schramm and Paar’s proposition. We prove their security in a strong security model and we exhibit a way to significantly improve their efficiency by using the particularities of the targeted architectures. Finally, we argue that the introduced methods allow to efficiently protect a wide variety of block ciphers, including AES.
Linkage localization of Börjeson‐Forssman‐Lehmann syndrome (1989)

Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS) is a form of X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) with characteristic minor physical anomalies. It has no biochemical or cytogenetic markers. Heterozygous females may be entirely normal or may have mild-to-moderate manifestations. We studied 41 individuals from one family with BFLS for linkage on the X chromosome. The highest lod scores were 2.32 with DXS10 and 2.24 with DXS51, both at a theta = 0.0. A single recombinant was found between HPRT and BFLS. These results suggest that the BFLS locus is on the distal portion of Xq. Previously reported linkage studies in families with XLMR have not shown linkage with DXS10. This study suggests that one of the several X chromosome loci whose dysfunction is associated with mental retardation is located on distal Xq.
Blue Liquid Lasers from Solution of CdZnS/ZnS Ternary Alloy Quantum Dots with Quasi‐Continuous Pumping (2014)

A blue (ca. 440 nm) liquid laser with an ultra-low threshold through which quasi-continuous wave pumping is accessible is achieved by engineering unconventional ternary CdZnS/ZnS alloyed-core/shell QDs. Such an achievement is enabled by exploiting the novel gain media with minimal defects, suppressed Auger recombination, and large gain cross-section in combination with high-quality-factor whispering gallery mode resonators.
Multicomponent Supramolecular Polymers as a Modular Platform for Intracellular Delivery (2016)

Supramolecular polymers are an emerging family of nanosized structures with potential use in materials chemistry and medicine. Surprisingly, application of supramolecular polymers in the field of drug delivery has received only limited attention. Here, we explore the potential of PEGylated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide (BTA) supramolecular polymers for intracellular delivery. Exploiting the unique modular approach of supramolecular chemistry, we can coassemble neutral and cationic BTAs and control the overall properties of the polymer by simple monomer mixing. Moreover, this platform offers a versatile approach toward functionalization. The core can be efficiently loaded with a hydrophobic guest molecule, while the exterior can be electrostatically complexed with siRNA. It is demonstrated that both compounds can be delivered in living cells, and that they can be combined to enable a dual delivery strategy. These results show the advantages of employing a modular system and pave the way for application of supramolecular polymers in intracellular delivery.
