Adaptive knot placement for rational spline interpolation of sparse EM-based data (2004)

Frequency domain interpolation methods suffer poor numerical conditioning when the frequency range or the model order becomes large. Therefore, an earlier developed modeling technique, called AFS [T. Dhaene, 2002], is extended by using smart piece-wise rational interpolation with adaptive knot placement. The AFS algorithm is used to model the spectral response of general passive planar electrical structures over a frequency range of interest, based on a limited number of data samples. The new algorithm adoptively chooses an appropriate sample distribution, while minimizing the complexity of the model and the number of splines, without any prior knowledge of the dynamics of the system.

Leakage Analysis for FinFET Devices using Self-Consistent Electro-Thermal Modeling (2007)

A novel 3D computational self-consistent electro-thermal modeling methodology is developed to more precisely analyze leakage currents in nanoscale FinFET devices. The coupled electro-thermal modeling is applied to compare the device performance of poly-Si gate and metal-gate DG-FinFET. Results show very high leakage current in band-edge metal-gate device and poly-Si gate device. Mid-gap metal-gate device appears as a good choice at short-channel lengths to avoid excessive leakage power. The impact of device temperature rise on the leakage and drive currents is analyzed.
Laser-assisted chemistry in the reaction of Mg( sup 1 S) with CO sub 2 to yield MgO(B sup 1. Sigma. sup + ) (1988)

A photon of energy approximately equal to that of the endoergicity is shown to promote the title reaction. The photon is not resonant with any state of the reactants or products, but is absorbed by the quasimolecule formed during the collision. The process is carried out in an optical heat pipe and the reaction is observed by means of emission spectroscopy. A kinetic model yielding a bimolecular-type rate expression is shown to qualitatively predict the experiment results.
Multifunctional gadolinium-based ligand DO3A-EA as novel precursor for conjugation with bioorganic molecules to develop smart contrast agents for MR imaging (2005)

Smart MR contrast agents are chelated paramagnetic molecules, whose relaxivity changes as a function of their chemical environment (e.g. changes in pH, calcium or neurotransmitter concentration). The multifunctional chelating agent DO3A-EA has been designed and synthesized as a valuable multifunctional precursor for smart MR contrast agents based on Gd-chelates. DO3A-EA was conjugated with diverse bioorganic molecules: 1) Gd-preloaded precursor Gd-DO3A-E-NCS with a highly reactive electrophile group for interaction with biological molecules or further synthesis. 2) Biotin-conjugated Gd-DO3A-E-Biotin for targeted imaging in an antibody-avidin system. 3) Fluorescence probe DO3A-E-FITC to track cell internalization and binding.

Abundance of follicular helper T cells in Peyer's patches is modulated by CD155 (2009)

The secondary humoral immune response is characterized by plasma B cells secreting isotype-switched and affinity-matured antibodies. The efficient generation of plasma B cells in the GC depends on the presence of follicular helper T (T(FH)) cells, a cell type thought to arise from naive CD4-positive T cells by a hitherto unresolved differentiation pathway. Mice deficient for CD155, an adhesion receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily, are impaired to mount a secondary humoral immune response upon oral administration of antigen, while the primary IgM response is unaffected. Here, we show that mice lacking CD155 harbor significantly reduced numbers of T(FH) cells in their Peyer's patches. This was paralleled by a decreased frequency of T(FH) cells in the GC. Moreover, the CD155 ligand CD226, which is involved in T-cell activation, is down-regulated during T(FH) cell differentiation, resulting in a complete absence of CD226 on those T(FH) cells residing in the GC. Concurrently, the expression of TIGIT/WUCAM, a newly discovered CD155 ligand, is induced in T(FH) cells. Thus, these cells replace an activating by a putative inhibitory CD155-binding partner during their differentiation.

Switching well noise modeling and minimization strategy for digital circuits with a controllable threshold voltage scheme (2000)

This paper describes a new model for characterizing the switching well noise suited for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) of gate-array and standard-cell-style digital circuits. A new technique employed in this work is to incorporate the controllable threshold voltage scheme, necessitated by the recent demand for low power designs, into the well noise analysis. The propagation process of the noise through the well is fully analyzed, providing practical approximation and reduction techniques of the peak noise value, which are of use to estimate the possible maximum noise value at the early stage of the design. SPICE simulation results are shown to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness of these techniques in reducing the well noise and the precision of the peak approximation. A novel design methodology to optimize both area and noise is proposed based on the stochastic modeling of the multiple noise sources and their superposition effects.

Hha, YbaJ, and OmpA regulate Escherichia coli K12 biofilm formation and conjugation plasmids abolish motility (2005)

Escherichia coli Hha is an environmental-response regulator of the pathogenic hemolysin operon, and Hha and the contiguous YbaJ are both induced 30-fold in E. coli biofilms (Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 64:515, 2004). Here it is shown that Hha and YbaJ regulate biofilm formation since the hha/ybaJ deletion reduces biofilm mass in microtitre plates (81% in minimal medium, 50% in complex medium) and in flow cells (1,000-fold less surface coverage in minimal medium). The addition of the derepressed conjugative plasmid R1drd19, which increases significantly biofilm formation, eliminated motility completely in wild-type E. coli K12, promoted cell aggregation 27.18 +/- 0.05-fold, and produced a flatter biofilm. Deletion of hha/ybaJ or ybaJ restored motility (this motility phenotype may be complemented by providing hha(+)/ybaJ(+) or ybaJ(+) in trans) and reduced cell aggregation to that of the wild-type strain that lacks the conjugation plasmid. This increase in motility due to deleting hha/ybaJ was found to be due to 8-fold induction of fliA transcription. In addition, deletion of ompA reduced biofilm mass by 80% in both LB medium and LB medium with glucose. Also, Hha/YbaJ promotes conjugation since there was five-fold less conjugation in the hha/ybaJ mutant. It appears that conjugation plasmids promote biofilm formation by promoting cell aggregation, and that Hha and YbaJ increase biofilm formation by increasing conjugation and by decreasing motility when a conjugative plasmid (R1drd19) is present (YbaJ plays the most important role in this regulation of motility). When hha/ybaJ are deleted, there is less conjugation, less aggregation, more motility, and less biofilm.
Gene Profiling Analysis of the Early Effects of Ablative Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Treatment on Human Skin (2013)

Irradiation using an AFR laser may induce the expression of Wnt5a, CYR61, and HSP90 in human skin during the early remodeling phases, suggesting that the induction of proteins may be the preceding event that is associated with the clinical effects of laser treatment.
Abstract 23: FK506 Binding Protein Expression Within the Injured Peripheral Nerve (2018)

PURPOSE: The mechanism of action of FK506 on peripheral nerve is still unknown despite the growing interest in local FK506 delivery for enhancing axon regeneration. In this study, we analyzed the expression of FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), a family of immunophilins that act as receptors for FK506, within the injured peripheral nerve and following local FK506 administration. We investigated the expression of FKBP-12 and FKBP-52 which have been shown to mediate immunosuppressive and neurotrophic properties of FK506 within the central nervous system, respectively. METHODS: Using transgenic Thy1-GFP+ rats expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) to visualize peripheral axons, the sciatic nerve was transected and repaired either with or without local FK506 delivery using a particulated FK506 delivery system. In a sham group, the sciatic nerve was not injured. Seven days post repair, immunostaining for FKBP-12 and FKBP-52 proteins, Schwann cells (S100), and macrophages (ED-1) was performed to determine the localization and/or co-expression of the proteins within the longitudinal sections of injured and intact sciatic nerve. RESULTS: With and without FK506 local delivery, FKBP-52 was specifically expressed in Schwann cells in both the proximal and distal stumps adjacent to the site of sciatic nerve injury, 7 days post-repair, as seen in longitudinal nerve sections. FK506 delivery promoted an obvious elevation of Schwann cell proliferation in the distal nerve stump as compared to the nerves without FK506 delivery. FKBP-52 expression was minimal in the regions of the proximal and distal nerve stumps not adjacent to the injury. FKBP-12 was mainly expressed in the vacuoles of the degenerated nerve fibers in the distal nerve stump, with minimal expression in the proximal nerve and at the site of nerve injury. Both FKBP-12 and FKBP52 expression were not detectable within the intact nerves. CONCLUSION: The mechanism of action of FK506 on nerve regeneration has not been completely characterized. Our findings suggest that FK506 acts on the Schwann cells at the site of injury, accounting, at least in part, for the profound enhancement of nerve regeneration when applied locally.

S0236 Exploring the Link Between Bevacizumab and Gastrointestinal Perforations Using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Database (2020)

INTRODUCTION: Bevacizumab has demonstrated success in treating advanced malignancies. However, bevacizumab may rarely cause the potentially fatal complication of gastrointestinal (GI) perforation. To date, no large descriptive studies have characterized patients with bevacizumab-induced GI perforations. Further, the largest retrospective case series on this association identified only two cases of gastroesophageal perforation. This study reviewed reports of bevacizumab-induced GI perforations to the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. METHODS: We downloaded all reported cases of bevacizumab-associated GI perforations in the FAERS database from 2004 to present. Our dataset excluded cases lacking reported patient age, gender, location of perforation, and indication for bevacizumab use. Only reports from Healthcare Professions were included for review and all duplicate cases were removed. RESULTS: 2641 cases were reported to FAERS. 1505 cases met inclusion/exclusion criteria, and 1283 reported cases remained after removal of duplicates. 50.8% of patients were female and average patient age was 62 years old. Figure 1 shows the age distribution of reported cases. Death was reported in 513 patients (40%). The most common indications in patients with bevacizumab-induced perforations were colorectal cancer (659, 51.4%), non-small cell lung cancer (241, 18.8%) and ovarian cancer (170, 13.3%) (Figure 2). Non-specific sites of perforation were most commonly reported as “Gastrointestinal perforation” (347, 27%) or “Intestinal perforation” (278, 22%). This represented half of all cases that met inclusion/exclusion criteria. When descriptive locations were used in reporting, analysis based on location revealed 365 colorectal perforations (56%), 231 small intestine perforations (35%), and 60 gastroesophageal perforations (9%) (Figure 3). Subgroup analysis of gastroesophageal perforations yielded similar results for average age (62), however, 65% of cases were male, 32% resulted in death, and a higher proportion indicated gastric and pancreatic cancers (8% and 15% respectively) for use.Figure 1.: This graph represents the age breakdown of bevacizumab-associated gastrointestinal perforations cases that were reported in the FAERS database from 2004 to present.Figure 2.: This table represents the top 10 most common types of primary cancer in cases reported to the FAERS database with bevacizumab-associated gastrointestinal perforations. This represents approximately 95% of all cases that met inclusion and exclusion criteria.Figure 3.: This table represents the various locations/types of gastrointestinal perforations associated with bevacizumab use as reported to the FAERS database.CONCLUSION: Bevacizumab-induced GI perforations are commonly fatal and are generally seen in older patients. Reported perforations are most commonly in the large and small intestine. This study represents the largest reported series of gastroesophageal perforations associated with bevacizumab therapy.

Atmospheric Plasma Deposited Dense Silica Coatings on Plastics (2012)

We explore the application of a high-temperature precursor delivery system for depositing high boiling point organosilicate precursors on plastics using atmospheric plasma. Dense silica coatings were deposited on stretched poly(methyl methacrylate), polycarbonate and silicon substrates from the high boiling temperature precursor, 1, 2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane, and from two widely used low boiling temperature precursors, tetraethoxysilane and tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane. The coating deposition rate, molecular network structure, density, Young's modulus and adhesion to plastics exhibited a strong dependence on the precursor delivery temperature and rate, and the functionality and number of silicon atoms in the precursor molecules. The Young's modulus of the coatings ranged from 6 to 34 GPa, depending strongly on the coating density. The adhesion of the coatings to plastics was affected by both the chemical structure of the precursor and the extent of exposure of the plastic substrate to the plasma during the initial stage of deposition. The optimum combinations of Young's modulus and adhesion were achieved with the high boiling point precursor which produced coatings with high Young's modulus and good adhesion compared to commercial polysiloxane hard coatings on plastics.
SemTK: An Ontology-first, Open Source Semantic Toolkit for Managing and\n Querying Knowledge Graphs (2017)

The relatively recent adoption of Knowledge Graphs as an enabling technology\nin multiple high-profile artificial intelligence and cognitive applications has\nled to growing interest in the Semantic Web technology stack. Many\nsemantics-related tools, however, are focused on serving experts with a deep\nunderstanding of semantic technologies. For example, triplification of\nrelational data is available but there is no open source tool that allows a\nuser unfamiliar with OWL/RDF to import data into a semantic triple store in an\nintuitive manner. Further, many tools require users to have a working\nunderstanding of SPARQL to query data. Casual users interested in benefiting\nfrom the power of Knowledge Graphs have few tools available for exploring,\nquerying, and managing semantic data. We present SemTK, the Semantics Toolkit,\na user-friendly suite of tools that allow both expert and non-expert semantics\nusers convenient ingestion of relational data, simplified query generation, and\nmore. The exploration of ontologies and instance data is performed through\nSPARQLgraph, an intuitive web-based user interface in SemTK understandable and\nnavigable by a lay user. The open source version of SemTK is available at\nhttp://semtk.research.ge.com\n

An interaction-aware, perceptual model for non-linear elastic objects (2016)

Everyone, from a shopper buying shoes to a doctor palpating a growth, uses their sense of touch to learn about the world. 3D printing is a powerful technology because it gives us the ability to control the haptic impression an object creates. This is critical for both replicating existing, real-world constructs and designing novel ones. However, each 3D printer has different capabilities and supports different materials, leaving us to ask: How can we best replicate a given haptic result on a particular output device? In this work, we address the problem of mapping a real-world material to its nearest 3D printable counterpart by constructing a perceptual model for the compliance of nonlinearly elastic objects. We begin by building a perceptual space from experimentally obtained user comparisons of twelve 3D-printed metamaterials. By comparing this space to a number of hypothetical computational models, we identify those that can be used to accurately and efficiently evaluate human-perceived differences in nonlinear stiffness. Furthermore, we demonstrate how such models can be applied to complex geometries in an interaction-aware way where the compliance is influenced not only by the material properties from which the object is made but also its geometry. We demonstrate several applications of our method in the context of fabrication and evaluate them in a series of user experiments.
Processing and microwave electrical properties of high-temperature superconductors (2002)

High-temperature superconductors exhibit finite resistance in alternating electromagnetic fields. Bulk processing techniques have been used to form high-temperature-superconducting materials into large and complex shapes and are particularly useful for resonant cavities and antenna elements. The surface resistance (R/sub s/) of polycrystalline YBCO (Y-Ba-Cu-O) was found to be significantly lower than that of copper below 1 GHz; however, degradation occurs with increasing magnetic field. Potential applications are discussed in terms of the electrical properties and the ability to fabricate materials into useful shapes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Polarization Division Multiplexed 2×10-Gbps Optical Data Transmissions over a Holey Fiber in 1-μm-waveband Photonic Transport System (2011)

Error-free polarization division multiplexed (PDM) 10-Gbps × 2-PDM transmission over a 3.7-km-long holey fiber in the 1-μm waveband, which are shown to be capable of 8.4-THz bandwidth transmission, is successfully demonstrated for the first time.
