QJAVAC: Java Compiler Design for High Parallelism Queue Java Byte Code (2003)

In this paper, we will describe the implementation and the evaluation of a Queue-Java compiler (QJAVAC), which is a part of whole research project at our laboratory, for high-level parallelism QueueJava bytecodes without too much need for parallelism scheduling. We will also describe a new type of syntax tree-Queue Abstract Syntax Tree(QAST) that is used for an optimized Queue Java Virtual Machine (QJVM) instruction generation. With the QJAVAC compiler, we have successfully compiled the Java source code to the QJVM byte code. the achieved average degree of parallelism is about 2.11 times greater than that of a general Java byte code.
Study of minority carrier lifetimes in very long-wave infrared strained-layer InAs/GaInSb superlattices (2016)

Significantly improved carrier lifetimes in very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR) InAs/GaInSb superlattice (SL) absorbers are demonstrated by using time-resolved microwave reflectance (TMR) measurements. A nominal 47.0 &Aring; InAs/21.5 &Aring; Ga0.75In0.25Sb SL structure that produces an approximately 25 &mu;m response at 10 K has a minority carrier lifetime of 140 &plusmn; 20 ns at 18 K, which is an order-of-magnitude improvement compare to previously reported lifetime values for other VLWIR detector absorbers. This improvement is attributed to the strain-engineered ternary SL design, which offers a variety of epitaxial advantages and ultimately leads to the improvements in the minority carrier lifetime by mitigating defect-mediated Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) recombination centers. By analyzing the temperature dependence of TMR decay data, the recombination mechanisms and trap states that currently limit the performance of this SL absorber are identified. The results show a general decrease in the long-decay lifetime component, which is dominated by SRH recombination at temperatures below ~30 K, and by Auger recombination at temperatures above ~45 K. This result implies that minimal improvement can be made in the minority carrier lifetime at temperatures greater than 45 K without further suppressing Auger recombination through proper band engineering, which suggests that the improvement to be gained by mitigation of the SRH defects would not be substantial at these temperatures. At temperatures lower than 30 K, some improvement can be attained by mitigated of the SRH recombination centers. Since the strain-balanced ternary SL design offers a reasonably good absorption coefficient and many epitaxial advantages during growth, this VLWIR SL material system should be considered a competitive candidate for VLWIR photodetector technology.
On the Design of Digital Tracking Controllers (1993)

This paper describes my work on the design of digital tracking controllers over the past two decades. In tracking control, the control object must be moved along a time varying desired output and the transient path error must be minimized. Tracking control is discussed for the following two typical situations: one is the situation where the desired output is known in advance and the other is where the desired output itself is not known but has a certain known property, e.g., it is periodic with a known period. Control algorithms for dealing with these situations will be reviewed and applications to mechanical systems are discussed.
Lab on a chip Canada – rapid diffusion over large length scales (2013)

The roots of lab on a chip in Canada are deep, comprising of some of the earliest contributions and first demonstrations of the potential of microfluidic chips. In an editorial leading off this special issue, Jed Harrison of University of Alberta reflects on these early days and Canada's role in the field's development (DOI: 10.1039/c3lc50522g). Over the last decade, microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip research efforts grew exponentially - rapidly diffusing across the vast Canadian length scales.

Insulin Binding to Monocytes and Total Mononuclear Leukocytes from Normal and Diabetic Patients (1976)

Isolated circulating mononuclear leukocyte preparations were obtained from 19 normal and 11 adult diabetic patients. No differences in monocyte, T cell, or B cell content were found when preparations from the two study groups were compared. The amount of insulin bound to cells from the diabetic patients was found to be decreased regardless of the cell type to which the data were normalized. This indicates that the previously reported decrease in the ability of mononuclear cells of diabetic patients to bind insulin was not a result of differences in mononuclear cell subpopulation.
A mobile world of security - The model (2011)

We propose a novel approach to establish cryptographic keys among mobile users and a networking infrastructure. Our approach comes at a low cost and can either be used as an alternative to existing solutions or can be employed in a complementary way. Our basic observation is that users are often very mobile. As they interact with the infrastructure, each of them leaves a unique trace behind, known both to the users and the infrastructure. We can leverage this shared information to create shared secret keys, with little or no change of existing mobile communication systems. We show that we can achieve (almost passively) a rate of roughly 0.1 bits per second.
Andreev-reflection-based normal-metal hot electron bolometer for space applications (1998)

We present the results of experimental development of an ultrasensitive normal metal hot-electron microbolometer with Andreev mirrors and electronic cooling by superconductor- insulator-normal metal (SIN) tunnel junctions. A value NEP equals 5 (DOT) 10<SUP>-18</SUP> W/Hz<SUP>1/2</SUP> for the temperature fluctuations component of noise and the thermal time constant (tau) equals 0.2 microseconds at 300 mK have been estimated for one of the realized devices with thermal conductance G approximately equals 6 (DOT) 10<SUP>-12</SUP> W/K. At 100 mK, the thermal conductance was decreased to G approximately equals 7 (DOT) 10<SUP>-14</SUP> W/K, that gives NEP equals 2 (DOT) 10<SUP>-19</SUP> W/Hz<SUP>1/2</SUP> for the temperature noise component and a thermal time constant (tau) equals 5 microseconds. Such microbolometer is intended as a detector of millimeter and submillimeter wave radiation for space applications.
Towards a coupled opto-electronic oscillator with independently stabilized frequency and repetition rate (2015)

We propose a novel scheme for a coupled opto-electronic oscillator that decouples optical frequency fluctuations and mode spacing fluctuations, allowing for independent stabilization. This is achieved using three filtered regions of the optical spectrum to generate error signals and providing feedback to appropriate cavity parameters.
EFFECT OF MOISTURE CONTENT AND BROKEN KERNELS ON THE BULK DENSITY AND PACKING OF CORN (2004)

Shelled yellow dent corn samples were conditioned to three moisture content levels (12%, 15%, and 18% w.b.)and mixed with a prescribed amount of broken corn particles of known size (geometric mean diameter of 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.8,and 4.0 mm) and concentration (2.5%, 5.0%, and 7.5% by weight) levels. The initial bulk density and grain compaction undersimulated overburden pressure tests were determined for each sample. Uniaxial compression tests were performed for sevenvertical pressure levels (3.4, 6.9, 14, 28, 55, 110, and 165 kPa) with a minimum of three replications each. Tests wereperformed at two locations with identical apparatus, which was fully described by Thompson and Ross (1983). These devicesused compressed air injected beneath a rubber diaphragm to apply vertical pressure uniaxially to a volume of granularmaterial. Deflections of the grain mass were measured with a dial gauge and were used to calculate changes in bulk densityand grain packing. Statistical models were tested for the initial bulk density and packing factor as a function of moisturecontent, broken corn particle size, and broken corn concentration level and their interactions. For clean corn, the initial bulkdensity was inversely affected by grain moisture while packing increased slightly with grain moisture. For corn mixed withfines, the initial bulk density decreased with grain moisture and the interaction of broken corn particle size and concentrationbut increased with the interaction of grain moisture and concentration of fines. Packing of corn mixed with fines increasedslightly with grain moisture and broken corn concentration. For a given pressure, the predicted bulk density from thedeveloped model was within 4% of the observed value, which was within the variation among test replications and may infact represent observed differences in bulk density caused by bin loading methods that have been reported by other engineers.The results can improve predictions by WPACKING, the ASAE standard for estimating capacities of cylindrical grain storagestructures.
O1–11–01: Gamma‐secretase inhibitor (GSI) and modulator (GSM) photoaffinity probes reveal distinct binding sites on presenilin (2013)

g -Secretase modulators (GSMs) which reduce the production of A b 42 have emerged as a promising class of compounds for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The target and mechanism of action of GSMs is a topic of much interest. Some evidence has suggested that GSMs function by binding the substrate, APP, while other evidence has suggested action through direct modulation of the enzyme, γ-secretase. We have developed several GSM and GSIphotoaffinity probes as tools to gain a better understanding of their binding sites and mechanism of modulation or inhibition. These include clickable photoaffinity probes based on acid and imidazole GSMs as well as sulfonamide GSIs that contain a photoreactive group for crosslinking the compound to cellular target proteins and an alkyne handles to attach a reporter tag by click chemistry for visualization and identification of the target(s). All 3 classes of photoprobes were found to specifically label the N-terminal fragment of presenilin-1 (PS1-NTF) in cell membranes as well as in live cells and primary neuronal cultures. The labeling of PS1-NTF by the imidazole GSM photoprobe E2012-BPyne was competed in the presence of the parent imidazole GSM E2012, but not with acid GSM-1, while labeling by the acid GSM photoprobe was competed in the presence of the parent acid GSM-1, but not with E2012. In both cases, the photolabeling was not competed by the allosteric GSI BMS-708163 or the substrate docking site peptide inhibitor pep11 providing evidence that all of these compounds have distinct binding sites. Surprisingly, we found that the cross-linking of E2012-BPyne to PS1-NTF is significantly enhanced in the presence of the active-site directed GSI L458. Taken together our results support the hypothesis that multiple binding sites within the g -secretase complex exist, each of which may contribute to different modes of modulatory or inhibitory action. In addition, the enhancement of PS1-NTF labeling by E2012-BPyne in the presence of L458 suggests a degree of cooperativity between the active site of g -secretase and the modulatory binding site of certain GSMs.
Torsional vibrations of quartz crystal beams (1996)

An exact solution of a partial differential equation including elastic compliance constant s'/sub 56/, with respect to stress function /spl psi/ has been found for torsional modes of vibration of an arbitrary (singly, doubly, triply) rotated beam with a pair of parallel free edges. The solution is obtained by relaxing the condition that the edge planes are perpendicular to the main faces of the beam. That is, the edges are off perpendicular by the angle /spl Theta/=arctan(-s'/sub 56//8'/sub 55/). The exact solution can reduce the difference of the calculated and measured values for a thickness-to-width ratio which gives the first-order temperature coefficient /spl alpha/=0. Also, a comparatively large inclination of the edge cuts is required to reduce the unwanted complicated mode shapes to simple ones.
CW Operation of 0.67 µm GaInAsP/AlGaAs Laser at 208 K Grown on GaAs Substrates by LPE (1985)

CW operation of GaInAsP/AlGaAs oxide stripe lasers with the stripe width of 8 µm was achieved at the heat-sink temperature of 208 K. The maximum light emission power and differential quantum efficiency obtained at room temperature pulse condition were 30 mW/facet and 46%, respectively. The characteristic temperature of threshold T 0 observed at the CW condition was 93 K at the tempeature of 113–200 K.
Introduction of v-Ha-ras oncogene induces differentiation of cultured human medullary thyroid carcinoma cells. (1987)

Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an endocrine tumor of the thyroid C cells that expresses high levels of the neuroendocrine peptide hormone calcitonin. During tumor progression in the host, there is an apparent loss of differentiation in MTC cells that involves a consistent decrease in calcitonin content of the tumor cells associated with decreased expression of the calcitonin gene and/or changes in a mRNA alternative-processing pattern away from that characteristic of the parent thyroid C cell. We now report that introduction of the viral Harvey ras (v-Ha-ras) oncogene into cultured human MTC cells can reverse such changes in gene expression and can induce endocrine differentiation of the tumor cells. The expression of v-Ha-ras is associated with decreased cellular proliferation and DNA synthesis. There is a marked increase in the number of cytoplasmic secretory granules that are a classic feature of differentiated thyroid C cells. v-Ha-ras expression induces increased expression of the calcitonin gene and the processing of the primary gene transcript is shifted to favor calcitonin mRNA rather than calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) mRNA production. These studies with cultured human MTC cells provide a model system to study the role of Ha-ras and related genes in neuroendocrine differentiation. The findings suggest an important approach for identifying genes in solid tumors whose altered expression may play a role in the impaired maturational capacity characteristic of cancer cells during tumor progression.
Current status and future prospects of GaN-based LEDs and LDs (2004)

We review the recent progress of GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs) and discuss the availability for ultraviolet (UV) emission optoelectronic devices by using GaN related compound semiconductors. We fabricated UV LEDs and LDs with an emission wavelength of 365 nm which are useful for various industrial uses because of same wavelength as i-line of high-pressure mercury vapor lamps. Regarding UV LEDs, practical 365 nm UV LED with high efficiency was realized by optimizing device structure. For fabricating the ultraviolet LDs, we used the AlInGaN active layer instead of InGaN one. It was investigated that the relationship between the threshold current density and the lasing wavelength in the UV region. We demonstrated the shortest LDs with a lasing wavelength 365 nm under the continuous-wave operation. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Analysis of Steady-state Protein Phosphorylation in Mitochondria Using a Novel Fluorescent Phosphosensor Dye (2003)

The phosphorylation of mitochondrial proteins is pivotal to the regulation of respiratory activity in the cell and to signaling pathways leading to apoptosis, as well as for other vital mitochondrial processes. A number of protein kinases have been identified in mitochondria but the physiological substrates for many of these remain unknown or poorly understood. By necessity, most studies of mitochondrial phosphoproteins to date have been conducted using in vitro incorporation of 32P. However, proteins that are highly phosphorylated from in situ reactions are not necessarily detected by this approach. In this study, a new small molecule fluorophore has been employed to characterize steady-state levels of mitochondrial phosphoproteins. The dye is capable of sensitive detection of phosphorylated amino acid residues in proteins separated by gel electrophoresis. When the fluorescent dye is combined with a total protein stain in a sequential gel staining procedure, the phosphorylated proteins can be visualized in the same gel as the total proteins. To optimize resolution of the proteins in mitochondria, a previously described sucrose gradient fractionation method was employed prior to gel electrophoresis. Phosphorylated proteins, as defined by the fluorescence of the phosphosensor, were excised from the gels and identified by peptide mass fingerprinting. One novel and prominent phosphoprotein identified in this manner was determined to be the 42-kDa subunit of mitochondrial complex I.
Electronic properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in an embedded vertical array (2002)

We demonstrate integration of carbon nanotubes into large scale vertically aligned electrode arrays, by filling the as-grown samples with conformal SiO2 using chemical vapor deposition. Subsequent mechanical polishing yields a flat surface with only the very ends of the nanotube array exposed. The electronic properties of individual carbon nanotubes in the array are measured using current-sensing atomic force microscopy. These vertical nanotube arrays are suitable for fabricating various electronic devices and sensors.
Polarization Effects for Indoor Wireless Communications at 60 GHz (2008)

This letter studies the performance of indoor wireless communication systems operating at 60 GHz with different polarization schemes. Circular polarization is known to reduce multipath effects in line-of-sight (LOS) environments in the 60 GHz band. We propose a modified channel model based on the IEEE 802.15.3c channel model to incorporate the polarization effects. We then use this model to evaluate the error performance of a wireless communication system that uses circular polarization. The results are compared with linear polarization for LOS environments.

Differential Adsorption of Small Molecules in Spatially Functionalized Porous Silicon Nanostructures (2013)

An experimental approach to rapidly quantify the relative affinity of a small molecule analyte for two different surfaces is described. The method uses optical measurements of high surface area porous Si thin films that contain two spatially distinct surface chemistries. The chemistries are placed on the walls of the ∼10 nm diameter pores of the porous Si film by means of microdroplet patterning, where a chemical resist is drop-coated on the porous Si sample to define distinct regions across the plane of the chip. In this work, the two chemistries consist of a hydrophilic silicon oxide surface and a hydrophobic methyl-terminated silicon surface. Detection is achieved by simultaneous optical reflectance measurements of both regions, where the reflectance spectrum contains a convolution of the Fabry-Pérot interference spectrum of both the oxide and the methyl-grafted layers. The differential partitioning of a test analyte (2-acetoxybenzoic acid or diphenyl ether) from aqueous solution is determined from the Fourier transform of the optical interference spectrum. The approach is rapid and nondestructive, and it can be performed on a small sample volume as a means to quantify the partition behavior of small molecules.
Replacement of the CysA7–CysB7 disulfide bond with a 1,2,3-triazole linker causes unfolding in insulin glargine (2015)

Two analogues of insulin glargine containing a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole group in place of the CysA7-CysB7 disulfide bond were prepared using CuAAC click chemistry to efficiently join the peptide chains. The resulting insulin analogues were analysed by circular dichroism spectroscopy to assess whether this modification compromised the folding pattern of the native form. Investigations, including an in vivo murine study, revealed that these analogues were not biologically active and that the structures were significantly unfolded, an outcome which suggests that maintaining a precise inter-chain distance is critical to the structure of the insulin hormone.
