Higher harmonic flow coefficients of identified hadrons in Pb-Pb collisions at s N N = 2.76 $$ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76 $$ TeV (2016)

The elliptic, triangular, quadrangular and pentagonal anisotropic flow coefficients for , K and p+p in Pb-Pb collisions at s NN = 2.76 TeV were measured with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The results were obtained with the Scalar Product method, correlating the identified hadrons with reference particles from a different pseudorapidity region. Effects not related to the common event symmetry planes (non-flow) were estimated using correlations in pp collisions and were subtracted from the measurement. The obtained flow coefficients exhibit a clear mass ordering for transverse momentum (p T ) values below 3 GeV/c. In the intermediate p T region (3 < p T < 6 GeV/c), particles group at an approximate level according to the number of constituent quarks, suggesting that coalescence might be the relevant particle production mechanism in this region. The results for p T < 3 GeV/c are described fairly well by a hydrodynamical model (iEBE-VISHNU) that uses initial conditions generated by A Multi-Phase Transport model (AMPT) and describes the expansion of the fireball using a value of 0.08 for the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density (/s), coupled to a hadronic cascade model (UrQMD). Finally, expectations from AMPT alone fail to quantitatively describe the measurements for all harmonics throughout the measured transverse momentum region. However, the comparison to the AMPT model highlights the importance of the late hadronic rescattering stage to the development of the observed mass ordering at low values of p T and of coalescence as a particle production mechanism for the particle type grouping at intermediate values of p T for all harmonics.
TOPL: Tools for Operational Planning of Transportation Networks (2008)

TOPL is a suite of software tools for specifying freeway operational improvement strategies, such as ramp metering, demand and incident management, and for quickly estimating the benefits of such improvements. TOPL is based on the macroscopic cell transmission model. The paper summarizes the theory of the cell transmission model and describes the procedure to carry out a TOPL application. The procedure is illustrated for the 26-mile long I-210W freeway in California, whose model is calibrated using loop detector measurements of volume and speed. The measurements show that congestion originates in a bottleneck and moves upstream, as predicted by the theory. The simulations show that appropriate ramp metering can dramatically reduce total congestion delay and mainline travel time.
Mechanical comparison of two small interlocking nails in torsion using a feline bone surrogate (2019)

Our results provide evidence to conclude that the small I-Loc nails may be valid alternatives to other osteosynthesis options for feline fracture repair.
Kinetics of a novel cytosolic protein during the onset of renal epithelial cell growth (1988)

Exposure of monkey kidney epithelial cells (BSC-1 line) to medium with a reduced K concentration (3.2 mM) stimulated growth and transiently activated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PD). The increase in enzyme activity was mediated by a cytosolic modifier protein that was purified using affinity and size-exclusion chromatography, and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. The apparent molecular mass of the protein was 62 kDa. A monospecific antibody to the protein was prepared from rabbit antiserum and used as an immunoprobe. Immunocytochemical staining and Western blotting revealed that the protein was a normal constituent of the cytosol and that it accumulated in cells exposed to low-K medium. A quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the amount of modifier protein increased progressively for up to 2 h in cells exposed to low-K medium, and then returned to the control value, a kinetic profile similar to that observed for G3PD activity. These results indicate that the modifier protein is a constituent of renal epithelial cells and accumulates transiently in the cytosol where it could regulate G3PD activity during the onset of growth induced by the low-K mitogenic signal.
Automatic self-correcting calibration method for arterial blood sampling detectors used in PET imaging (1999)

Routine calibration of on-line arterial blood detectors used primarily for PET blood flow studies while necessary is time consuming and if performed frequently, exposes staff to unnecessary levels of radiation. A method has been developed and implemented to account for changes in detector sensitivity over time and for variations in the diameters of tubes used to withdraw blood. The method is most applicable to positron detectors but can also be used for gamma systems. Errors are reduced from +/-5% to less than 1%.
Capturing the aversive state of cephalic pain preclinically (2013)

Cephalic pain was unmasked in rats by assessment of motivated behavior to seek relief. Relief of pain activates the dopaminergic reward pathway to elicit negative reinforcement of behavior. Medications clinically effective for migraine headache selectively elicit relief of ongoing cephalic, but not postsurgical, noncephalic pain. These studies provide a platform for exploring migraine pathophysiology and for the discovery of new headache therapies.
Fault tolerant winding technology comparison for Flux Switching Machine (2010)

In safety critical aerospace applications, fault tolerant drives can help reach the necessary system reliability levels without replicating the entire drive system and thus minimizing the overall system weight. Machine selection and design for fault tolerance has to be considered at an early stage to ensure optimal performance at system level. Permanent magnet Flux Switching Machines have the distinct property of having a robust rotor construction with the permanent magnets embedded in the stator whilst having their operational characteristics similar to those of synchronous permanent magnet machines. Some slot-pole combinations with particular winding technologies possess natural fault tolerant capability. This paper analyses and compares the fault tolerant properties of permanent magnet flux switching machines of two recently proposed configurations fulfilling the key fault tolerant requirements. The configurations considered are 12 slot 14 pole Double Layer winding with ferromagnetic slot separator and 12 slot 13 pole Single Layer design.
(Invited) Realizing Narrow Bandwidth Visible Photoluminescence from Colloidal Silicon Quantum Dots (2020)

Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) are an attractive alternative to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that have attracted attention for next generation optoelectronic devices due to their high colour-saturated photoluminescence, processability, and stability. Existing QD-LEDs often employ toxic or rare metals (e.g., Cd, Pb, In, etc.). Although colloidal silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) are an attractive alternative because of their abundance, biocompatibility and tailorable surface chemistry, tuning their luminescence throughout the visible spectrum can be challenging. Furthermore, SiQD emission shows a comparatively wide bandwidth that is a consequence of the inherent properties of the Si band structure. As a result the narrowing SiQD luminescence is not readily achieved by straightforward size selection methods used for other quantum dots. One alternative approach is to prepare optical cavities that preferentially select specific emission wavelengths using optical structures. This presentation will outline our investigations targeted on realizing bright, high quantum yield, narrow bandwidth luminescence from SiQD-polymer hybrids.

Improved method for evaluating antenna performance in mobile environment with consideration of polarization and phase (2003)

The paper presents an improved method for evaluating antenna performance in a multipath propagation environment. It demonstrates, theoretically and experimentally, that by using polarization and phase terms of the incident field and the antenna system in the evaluation of the antenna effective gain (AEG), the AEG can be evaluated more efficiently as compared with the conventional method. First, a theoretical expression of the received power is given by using the open-circuit voltage at the antenna terminals, in which both the polarization and the phase of the incident field and antenna gain patterns are explicitly used. Secondly, a newly developed system for the measurement of field parameters, such as polarization and phase as well as amplitude, is introduced. Thirdly, incident field parameters measured in urban and suburban areas of Tokyo are described. It was confirmed that major incident waves were counted in up to five or six directions at a mobile terminal and their polarizations and phases were different depending on the direction of incidence. Also, measurement of the antenna gain patterns of the latest personal digital cellular handset at a talk position finds the dependence of the AEG on polarization and phase, which were significantly varied by the body effect. Finally, the AEG is evaluated based on the method introduced here, and its usefulness is compared with that of the conventional method.
Microwave dielectric properties of marine DNA based polymers (2005)

Abstract Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)‐based polymer thin‐films are characterized at microwave frequencies. The dielectric properties of the films are extracted from comparison of the propagation constants of the co‐planar waveguide (CPW) lines on bare MgO substrates and the DNA‐based films on MgO substrates. The insertion loss introduced by an undoped DNA‐based polymer film is only 0.1 dB at 10 GHz and 0.5 dB at 30 GHz. A red‐dye‐doped DNA polymer film exhibited higher losses. The relative dielectric constant of the undoped DNA‐based film averages to 4 at microwave frequencies, and the loss‐tangent is below 0.1 up to 30 GHz. The dielectric properties of a 5% red‐dye‐doped DNA polymer film is compared to that of the pure DNA film. The DR1 doped DNA film exhibits 0.4‐dB higher loss at 10 GHz and 0.9‐dB higher loss at 30 GHz. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sharing Cognition: Human Gesture and Natural Language Grounding Based Planning and Navigation for Indoor Robots (2021)

Cooperation among humans makes it easy to execute tasks and navigate seamlessly even in unknown scenarios. With our individual knowledge and collective cognition skills, we can reason about and perform well in unforeseen situations and environments. To achieve a similar potential for a robot navigating among humans and interacting with them, it is crucial for it to acquire the ability for easy, efficient and natural ways of communication and cognition sharing with humans. In this work, we aim to exploit human gestures which is known to be the most prominent modality of communication after the speech. We demonstrate how the incorporation of gestures for communicating spatial understanding can be achieved in a very simple yet effective way using a robot having the vision and listening capability. This shows a big advantage over using only Vision and Language-based Navigation, Language Grounding or Human-Robot Interaction in a task requiring the development of cognition and indoor navigation. We adapt the state-of-the-art modules of Language Grounding and Human-Robot Interaction to demonstrate a novel system pipeline in real-world environments on a Telepresence robot for performing a set of challenging tasks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first pipeline to couple the fields of HRI and language grounding in an indoor environment to demonstrate autonomous navigation.
Measurement and Estimation of Heat Generation Rate of Lithium-Ion Battery Considering SEI Growth and Lithium Plating (2021)

Thermal management system for battery is one of the most crucial components required to guarantee high efficiency and reliable operation of the battery. The system requires a battery model for accurate characterization of heat generated from the battery during operation. In addition, the sustainability of the model accuracy over the lifetime of the battery is another important factor. Since the battery heat generation is increased due to the increase of the resistance during cycling, the model needs to predict the change accurately. In this presentation, a thermal model incorporated into a reduced-order electrochemical model is introduced. The model considers detailed irreversible heat source terms by considering internal processes of the battery during cycling. In addition, since the battery parameters are changed when the battery is aged, a degradation model considering growth of solid-electrolyte-interphase (SEI) and lithium plating is also incorporated, and therefore, the battery parameters can be updated after degradation. In order to experimentally validate the model, the battery heat generation rate is measured at the beginning, middle, and end of life. The validation results show good agreement of the increase of the heat generation rate with degradation estimated by the model with that measured by the experiment. In addition, the effect of the degradation on heat source term is analyzed, and the main cause for the increase in the heat generation rate is revealed.
Design and Synthesis of a Mitochondria-Targeted Mimic of Glutathione Peroxidase, MitoEbselen-2, as a Radiation Mitigator (2014)

Ionizing radiation (IR) triggers mitochondrial overproduction of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides leading to the induction of apoptotic and necroptotic cell death pathways. Given the high catalytic efficiency of the seleno-enzyme glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) toward reduction of lipid hydroperoxides and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, we tested the potential of mitochondria-targeted derivatives of ebselen to mitigate the deleterious effects of IR. We report that 2-[[2-[4-(3-oxo-1,2-benzoselenazol-2-yl)phenyl]acetyl]amino]ethyl-triphenyl-phosphonium chloride (MitoPeroxidase 2) was effective in reducing lipid hydroperoxides, preventing apoptotic cell death, and, when administered 24 h postirradiation, increased the survival of mice exposed to whole body γ-irradiation.
Outcomes of Fenestrated Endografts in the Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Western Australia (1997–2004) (2006)

Fenestrated endografts extend the treatment options for infrarenal AAAs with necks unsuitable for standard endovascular repair. This early data show a trend toward higher mortality of selected patients with fenestrated endografts than for standard stent-graft repair, but the mortality rate is comparable to open repair. Target vessel occlusion predominantly results from pre-existing disease or the lack of a stent. The lessons learned from this experience contributed toward guidelines for users of fenestrated endografts.
4D electrical resistivity to monitor unstable slopes in mountainous tropical regions: an example from Munnar, India (2023)

Abstract The number of large landslides in India has risen in the recent years, due to an increased occurrence of extreme monsoon rainfall events. There is an urgent need to improve our understanding of moisture-induced landslide dynamics, which vary both spatially and temporally. Geophysical methods provide integrated tools to monitor subsurface hydrological processes in unstable slopes at high spatial resolution. They are complementary to more conventional approaches using networks of point sensors, which can provide high temporal resolution information but are severely limited in terms of spatial resolution. Here, we present and discuss data from an electrical resistivity tomography monitoring system—called PRIME—deployed at the Amrita Landslide Early Warning System (Amrita-LEWS) site located in Munnar in the Western Ghats (Kerala, India). The system monitors changes in electrical resistivity in the subsurface of a landslide-prone slope that directly threatens a local community. The monitoring system provides a 4D resistivity model informing on the moisture dynamics in the subsurface of the slope. Results from a 10-month period spanning from pre-monsoon to the end of the monsoon season 2019 are presented and discussed with regard to the spatial variation of soil moisture. The temporal changes in resistivity within the slope are further investigated through the use of time-series clustering and compared to weather and subsurface pore water pressure data. This study sheds new light on the hydrological processes occurring in the shallow subsurface during the monsoon and potentially leading to slope failure. This geophysical approach aims at better understanding and forecasting slope failure to reduce the risk for the local community, thereby providing a powerful tool to be included in local landslide early warning systems.
Dynamic Support for BPEL Process Instance Adaptation (2008)

Rapidly changing market conditions and IT systems are forcing companies to adapt their business processes more dynamically than in the past. Most current commercial BPMS products lack the full capability to support changing processes. To address this challenge, we discuss three aspects of dynamic adaptation in a BPM system: model-level, instance-level, and runtime environment changes. We focus on analyzing the patterns of the instance-level navigation changes, including the preconditions, actions and consequences of each change. Based on this analysis, we propose a system design for the runtime environment to support dynamic instance-level changes. We have implemented a prototype of such a system with the motivating scenarios to demonstrate the usefulness of our proposal.
Self-Assembled Vesicles from Mixed Brush Nanoparticles in Solution (2021)

The self-assembly of binary polymer-grafted nanoparticles (NPs) in a selective solvent is investigated using coarse-grained simulations. Simulations are performed using theoretically informed Langevin dynamics (TILD), a particle-based method that employs a particle-to-mesh scheme to efficiently calculate the nonbonded interactions. The particles are densely grafted with two immiscible polymers, A and B, that are permanently bound to the NP either at random grafting sites (random-grafted) or with all the A chains on one hemisphere of the NP and all the B chains on the other hemisphere (Janus-grafted). For NPs with random grafting, the polymers phase-separate on the surface of the NP to form Janus-type structures in dilute solution, even though some of the chains have to stretch around the particle to form the Janus structure. When the solvent quality is sufficiently poor for the solvophobic chains, the binary grafted NPs assemble into various structures, including double-walled vesicles. In particular, vesicles are formed when the solvophilic volume fraction is between 0.2 and 0.3, in a similar range to that required for vesicle formation in diblock copolymers in a selective solvent. For mixed-grafted NPs, there is considerable variation in the structure of each individual NP, but nevertheless, these NPs form ordered vesicles, similar to those formed by Janus-grafted NPs.
K+ is an indispensable cofactor for GrpE stimulation of ATPase activity of DnaK·DnaJ complex from Thermus thermophilus (1997)

K+ is an indispensable cofactor for ATPase activity of eukaryotic cytosolic Hsp70 chaperone systems which lack a GrpE homolog. In the case of the bacterial Hsp70 (DnaK) system, GrpE, a nucleotide exchange factor, stimulates ATPase activity but little is known about the effect of K+. Here, we have cloned a grpE gene from a thermophile, Thermus thermophilus, and purified a homodimeric GrpE protein. Using proteins of this bacterium, we found that the GrpE stimulation of ATPase activity of DnaK x DnaJ complex was absolutely dependent on the presence of K+.
Class-incremental Learning via Deep Model Consolidation (2020)

Deep neural networks (DNNs) often suffer from "catastrophic forgetting" during incremental learning (IL) — an abrupt degradation of performance on the original set of classes when the training objective is adapted to a newly added set of classes. Existing IL approaches tend to produce a model that is biased towards either the old classes or new classes, unless with the help of exemplars of the old data. To address this issue, we propose a class-incremental learning paradigm called Deep Model Consolidation (DMC), which works well even when the original training data is not available. The idea is to first train a separate model only for the new classes, and then combine the two individual models trained on data of two distinct set of classes (old classes and new classes) via a novel double distillation training objective. The two existing models are consolidated by exploiting publicly available unlabeled auxiliary data. This overcomes the potential difficulties due to unavailability of original training data. Compared to the state-of-the-art techniques, DMC demonstrates significantly better performance in image classification (CIFAR-100 and CUB-200) and object detection (PASCAL VOC 2007) in the single-headed IL setting.
Stability Analysis and Experimental Validation of a Motion-Copying System (2009)

This paper examines the stability of our proposed motion-copying system in the case that the environmental mechanical impedance is changed. The system preserves and reproduces the motion of the human operator. The examination of this paper derives the transfer function of the motion-loading system considering the environmental impedance and investigates displacement of the poles with the transition of the environment. Moreover, the experiment with respect to environmental changing is carried out. These results confirm theoretically and experimentally that the motion-copying system is stable even if the environment is changed. The haptic informational processing technique by the motion-copying system is useful for industrial applications and medical engineering.
Electrical conduction due to protons and alkali-metal ions in oxide glasses (1993)

The activation energy for dc electrical conduction due to alkali ions of binary alkali silicate glasses and due to protons of binary alkaline-earth phosphate glasses decreases linearly with the logarithm of their concentrations (in mol/l). The activation energy is discussed in relation to the ionic radius and concentration. Hydrogen-bonded protons are much more mobile than sodium ions in the case of calcium phosphate glasses. The conduction mechanism due to protons is suggested to be different from that due to alkali ions.
