Prospects for studying how high-intensity compression waves cause damage in human blast injuries (2012)

Since World War I, explosions have accounted for over 70% of all injuries in conflict. With the development of improved personnel protection of the torso, improved medical care and faster aeromedical evacuation, casualties are surviving with more severe injuries to the extremities. Understanding the processes involved in the transfer of blast-induced shock waves through biological tissues is essential for supporting efforts aimed at mitigating and treating blast injury. Given the inherent heterogeneities in the human body, we argue that studying these processes demands a highly integrated approach requiring expertise in shock physics, biomechanics and fundamental biological processes. This multidisciplinary systems approach enables one to develop the experimental framework for investigating the material properties of human tissues that are subjected to high compression waves in blast conditions and the fundamental cellular processes altered by this type of stimuli. Ultimately, we hope to use the information gained from these studies in translational research aimed at developing improved protection for those at risk and improved clinical outcomes for those who have been injured from a blast wave.
LDB2 locus disruption on 4p16.1 as a risk factor for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (2020)

We had previously reported the case of a male patient with schizophrenia, having de-novo balanced translocation. Here, we determined the exact breakpoints in chromosomes 4 and 13. The breakpoint within chromosome 4 was mapped to a region 32.6 kbp upstream of the LDB2 gene encoding Lim domain binding 2. Variant screening in <i>LDB2</i> revealed a rare novel missense variant in patients with psychiatric disorder.

Platform-Dependent Properties of 193nm Single Layer Resists. (1998)

A primary consideration in the design of 193nm single layer resists involves the choice of the polymer platform on which the resist is to be constructed. Two main routes (acrylics and cyclic olefins) exist for 193nm resist design. The advantages and challenges of each will be illustrated and discussed.
Characterizing the glycome of the mammalian immune system (2008)

The outermost layer of all immune cells, the glycocalyx, is composed of a complex mixture of glycoproteins, glycolipids and lectins, which specifically recognize particular glycan epitopes. As the glycocalyx is the cell's primary interface with the external environment many biologically significant events can be attributed to glycan recognition. For this reason the rapidly expanding glycomics field is being increasingly recognized as an important component in our quest to better understand the functioning of the immune system. In this review, we highlight the current status of immune cell glycomics, with particular attention being paid to T- and B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells. We also describe the strategies and methodologies used to define immune cell glycomes.
Ultrafast and Broadband Tuning of Resonant Optical Nanostructures Using Phase‐Change Materials (2016)

A combination of Au nanohole arrays with a phase-change material (PCM) is presented, which exhibits large optical contrast upon transitions from its amorphous to crystalline stable phases. The presence of the PCM allows to shift the position of the resonance produced by the nanohole array up to 385 nm. Moreover, it is also shown how this resonance can be tuned in the ultrafast regime without the need for a structural transition in the PCM.
Dynamic feedback linearization based control synthesis of the turbocharged Diesel engine (2007)

In this paper, a nonlinear control technique based on the property of flatness is proposed to control the diesel engine air system. More precisely, to achieve tracking of suitable references (corresponding to low emissions) for the air-fuel ratio and the fraction of the recirculated exhaust gas. The simulated diesel engine is a six cylinders medium duty Caterpillar 3126 B equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger and an exhaust gas recirculation valve. The proposed controller is designed on the reduced third order mean value model and implemented by endogenous linearizing dynamic feedback on the full order model. The controller is assessed through simulations with a SIL architecture using dSpace simulator. It exhibits good control performance without zero dynamics and ensures global stability and tracking of flat output references.
Synthesis and characterization of aromatic polyamides containing s-triazine rings in the main chain (1997)

Ten new aromatic polyamides containing s-triazine rings in the main chain were synthesized by the low temperature interfacial polycondensation technique involving the reactions of each of the two s-triazine containing diacylchlorides, viz., 2,4-bis (4-chlorocarbonylphenoxy)-6-methoxy-s-triazine and 2,4-bis(3-chlorocarbonylphenoxy)-6-methoxy-s-triazine, with five aromatic diamines namely, 4,4′-bis(4-aminophenoxy)diphenyl sulfone, 4,4′-bis(3-aminophenoxy)diphenyl sulfone, 2,2-bis[4(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl] propane, 1,4 bis (4-amino-phenoxy) benzene, and 1,3-bis (4-aminophenoxy)benzene. The resulting polyamides were characterized by viscosity measurements, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, solubility tests, x-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetry. The polyamides had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.16–1.06 dL/g in N,N-dimethylacetamide at 30°C. Most of the s-triazine containing polyamides dissolved readily at room temperature in polar solvents. Except for the polyamide PA-2, the polyamides did not lose weight below 350°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 1077–1085, 1997
A Platform for Large‐Scale Graphene Electronics – CVD Growth of Single‐Layer Graphene on CVD‐Grown Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2013)

Direct chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of single-layer graphene on CVD-grown hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) film can suggest a large-scale and high-quality graphene/h-BN film hybrid structure with a defect-free interface. This sequentially grown graphene/h-BN film shows better electronic properties than that of graphene/SiO2 or graphene transferred on h-BN film, and suggests a new promising template for graphene device fabrication.
Studium β-N-acetylhexosaminidasy v rostlinách tabáku (2010)

β-N-acetylhexosaminidases are ubiquitous in all living organisms, but there is little information about these enzymes in plants, especially in leaves. Suggested functions of plant β-N-acetylhexosaminidases are participation in defence responses against fungal and other pathogens and also in degradation of storage glycoproteins. β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from tobacco leaves (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was purified to final specific activity 190 nmol min-1 mg-1 with p-NP-GlcNAc as substrate. Precipitation by ammonium sulphate, gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-300 column and affinity chromatography on Con A- Sepharose column were used. Michaelis constant and maximal reaction rate of β-N- acetylhexosaminidases determined for p-NP-GlcNAc was 0.33 mM and 414 nmol min-1 mg-1 , respectively. The cleavage of diacetylchitobiose catalyzed by β-N-acetylhexosaminidase was studied using capillary electrophoresis. Determined activity of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase for diacetylchitobiose was more than 10-times lower compared to β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity for p-NP-GlcNAc. These results indicate that chitobiose and probably other chitooligomers are not natural substrates of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase and thus this enzyme is most likely not involved in protection against fungal pathogens.

H-ras activation in benign and self-regressing skin tumors (keratoacanthomas) in both humans and an animal model system. (1988)

The involvement of the ras oncogenes in tumorigenesis was investigated in keratoacanthomas, which are benign and self-regressing skin tumors, both in humans and in a corresponding animal model system. Keratoacanthomas were induced on rabbit ears by repeated applications of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene. About 60% of the tumor DNAs produced transformed foci after transfection into NIH 3T3 cells, and in all of them the transforming gene was identified as H-ras by Southern and Northern (RNA) hybridization. Immunoprecipitation experiments suggested that the transforming rabbit H-ras protein carried a mutation in codon 61. In addition, an activated H-ras gene was detected in a human keratoacanthoma by using a nude mouse tumorigenesis assay after transfection of tumor DNA into NIH 3T3 cells. This is the first report of ras activation in a benign human tumor. The transforming human H-ras gene showed a point mutation in codon 61 that would result in leucine instead of the glutamine present in the normal gene product. The finding of ras activation in tumors that are not only benign but also self-regressing indicates that activated ras genes are not sufficient to maintain a neoplastic phenotype, although they likely play a role in early stages of tumorigenesis.
Reproducible Floating-Point Aggregation in RDBMSs (2018)

Industry-grade database systems are expected to produce the same result if the same query is repeatedly run on the same input. However, the numerous sources of non-determinism in modern systems make reproducible results difficult to achieve. This is particularly true if floating-point numbers are involved, where the order of the operations affects the final result. As part of a larger effort to extend database engines with data representations more suitable for machine learning and scientific applications, in this paper we explore the problem of making relational GroupBy over floating-point formats bit-reproducible, i.e., ensuring any execution of the operator produces the same result up to every single bit. To that aim, we first propose a numeric data type that can be used as drop-in replacement for other number formats and is—unlike standard floating-point formats—associative. We use this data type to make state-of-the-art GroupBy operators reproducible, but this approach incurs a slowdown between 4x and 12x compared to the same operator using conventional database number formats. We thus explore how to modify existing GroupBy algorithms to make them bit-reproducible and efficient. By using vectorized summation on batches and carefully balancing batch size, cache footprint, and preprocessing costs, we are able to reduce the slowdown due to reproducibility to a factor between 1.9x and 2.4x of aggregation in isolation and to a mere 2.7% of end-to-end query performance even on aggregation-intensive queries in MonetDB. We thereby provide a solid basis for supporting more reproducible operations directly in relational engines.
Incomplete Spontaneous Recovery from Airway Obstruction During Inhaled Anesthesia Induction (2016)

Spontaneous recovery after complete airway obstruction during inhaled induction is plausible, but the recovery time is highly variable and depends on the clinical and physiologic situation. These results emphasize that induction is a non-steady-state situation, thus effect-site anesthetic levels should be modeled in future research, not alveolar concentration. Finally, this study provides an example of using computer simulation to explore situations that are difficult to investigate clinically.

Articulated soft objects for multiview shape and motion capture (2003)

We develop a framework for 3D shape and motion recovery of articulated deformable objects. We propose a formalism that incorporates the use of implicit surfaces into earlier robotics approaches that were designed to handle articulated structures. We demonstrate its effectiveness for human body modeling from synchronized video sequences. Our method is both robust and generic. It could easily be applied to other shape and motion recovery problems.
Accurate analysis of multicomponent spray evaporation in a turbulent flow (2010)

Abstract Aim of the paper is to present results concerning numerical computations and experimental measurements of evaporating sprays of single component and binary mixtures fuels in a hot turbulent flow. To this aim an experimental system with controlled fluid dynamic was built up. The spray produced by means of a calibrated droplet generator was injected in a gas flow electrically preheated. In the present configuration, the carrier gas was air and experiments were performed at flow velocities up to 3 m/s and at the maximum inlet temperature of 800 K. N-nonane, isopropanol and their mixtures were used in the tests. The heated air flow was convoyed in a cylindrical quartz tube that allowed optical measurements. Particle Image Velocimetry was used to determine the gaseous flow fields. Generalized Scattering Imaging technique was applied to simultaneously determine size, velocity and spatial location of droplets in the spray along the quartz tube. To compute the spray evaporation the multiphase flow simulation tool SPRAYSIM and the gas phase solver ANSYS® CFX-12.0 were used. The comparison between numerical computations and experimental measurements were performed at different locations along the tubular reactor. The agreement is very fine concerning the mean diameters but especially the size distributions of droplets. Some differences were observed in the predictions of the droplets velocities. This was imputed to uncertainties in computation of the gas flow field at high temperature and also to some instability in the experimental air flow.
Influence of barrier design on current collapse in high voltage AlGaN/GaN HEMTs (2013)

Simultaneous measurements of surface potential and drain current detrapping transients in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, performed on devices with two different epitaxial structures, show that the predominant location of charge trapping is affected more strongly by device design than by surface passivation or buffer defects. Experiments also show that AlGaN traps dominate current collapse in devices with thick AlGaN barrier layers.
Computational Model for Therapy Optimization of Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator: Shockable Rhythm Detection and Optimal Electrotherapy (2021)

Wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) is a life saving, wearable, noninvasive therapeutic device that prevents fatal ventricular arrhythmic propagation that leads to sudden cardiac death (SCD). WCD are frequently prescribed to patients deemed to be at high arrhythmic risk but the underlying pathology is potentially reversible or to those who are awaiting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. WCD is programmed to detect appropriate arrhythmic events and generate high energy shock capable of depolarizing the myocardium and thus re-initiating the sinus rhythm. WCD guidelines dictate very high reliability and accuracy to deliver timely and optimal therapy. Computational model-based process validation can verify device performance and benchmark the device setting to suit personalized requirements. In this article, we present a computational pipeline for WCD validation, both in terms of shock classification and shock optimization. For classification, we propose a convolutional neural network-"Long Short Term Memory network (LSTM) full form" (Convolutional neural network- Long short term memory network (CNN-LSTM)) based deep neural architecture for classifying shockable rhythms like Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) vs. other kinds of non-shockable rhythms. The proposed architecture has been evaluated on two open access ECG databases and the classification accuracy achieved is in adherence to American Heart Association standards for WCD. The computational model developed to study optimal electrotherapy response is an <i>in-silico</i> cardiac model integrating cardiac hemodynamics functionality and a 3D volume conductor model encompassing biophysical simulation to compute the effect of shock voltage on myocardial potential distribution. Defibrillation efficacy is simulated for different shocking electrode configurations to assess the best defibrillator outcome with minimal myocardial damage. While the biophysical simulation provides the field distribution through Finite Element Modeling during defibrillation, the hemodynamic module captures the changes in left ventricle functionality during an arrhythmic event. The developed computational model, apart from acting as a device validation test-bed, can also be used for the design and development of personalized WCD vests depending on subject-specific anatomy and pathology.
Is Surveillance for Multidrug‐Resistant Enterobacteriaceae an Effective Infection Control Strategy in the Absence of an Outbreak? (2002)

Multidrug-resistant enterobacteriaceae (MDRE) are an important cause of nosocomial infections. The effectiveness of screening for MDRE in the nonoutbreak setting in an attempt to prevent transmission is unknown. Patients admitted for new organ transplantation were screened for MDRE colonization. Prospective clinical data were collected, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and plasmid and integron analysis of isolates were performed. Colonized patients were not isolated except when required by standard precautions. Of the 287 patients, 69 (24%) were colonized, and 6 (9%) of the 69 developed clinical infections. Most colonizing isolates (66/69) were unique. No clinical infections resulted from patient-to-patient transmission. Analysis of clinical isolates from nonstudy patients demonstrated no evidence of transmission leading to clinical disease. The annual cost of a surveillance program was calculated at Canadian $1,130,184.44. Thus, the routine and costly use of MDRE surveillance and isolation precautions are not warranted in the absence of a clonal outbreak in this population.

The effect of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug on the healing of ligaments (1988)

Because of the increasing number of ligament sprains being treated with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), this study was undertaken to document the effects of one such drug on ligament healing in an experimental setting. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 400 and 500 g were used to evaluate the effect of the NSAID piroxicam on the healing of an experimental injury to the medial collateral ligament (MCL). The following factors were varied in the experiments: dosage, days of treatment, and the day postinjury when treatment was begun. Piroxicam-treated rats were compared to placebo-treated rats in terms of the drug's effect on the mechanical strength of the healing ligament. The ligaments were mechanically tested in tension to failure at a constant deformation rate of 0.25 mm/sec on a materials testing machine. Administration of piroxicam on Days 1 to 6 postinjury resulted in a 42% increase in strength at Day 14 postinjury for the piroxicam-treated ligaments (P less than 0.01) when compared with the placebo-treated controls. Neither doubling nor halving the standard piroxicam dose significantly altered this increased healing strength. Biochemical analysis of collagen synthesis demonstrated a suggestive, although not statistically significant, increase in collagen synthesis and collagen content in the piroxicam-treated healing ligament. In separate experiments, piroxicam had no effect on the healed ligament at 21 days or on the strength of uninjured ligaments. In conclusion, piroxicam increased the early strength of healing ligaments in the rat when the drug was administered for short periods of time after injury.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
