Improved characterization of multilayer antireflection coatings for broad-band semiconductor optical amplifiers (2000)

A new approach to the analysis of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectra, based on the least-squared fitting, is proposed for characterization of broad-band multilayer antireflection (AR) coatings and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The model formula for ASE spectra contains eight fitting parameters, representing the parabolic approximation of spontaneous emission and gain spectra, together with the linear approximation of refractive index dispersion. By zone fitting to the segmented experimental data after AR coating, a stepwise reflectivity estimate is obtained. Double-layer AR-coated 1.3 /spl mu/m InGaAsP MQW SOAs were fabricated and evaluated. For the best samples, minimum reflectivities on the order of 10/sup -6/ and bandwidths (for R<1/spl times/10/sup -4/) of about 50 mn were reproducibly obtained. Reliability of the analysis procedure was checked on the basis of relevance of various physical parameters, bias current dependence, and reproducibility of the extrapolation procedure. Being noise-resistant and applicable to wider spectral range, the new method is confirmed to be a significant improvement over the standard ASE analysis procedure (i.e., the conventional Hakki-Paoli (HP) method).
From English to Code-Switching: Transfer Learning with Strong\n Morphological Clues (2019)

Linguistic Code-switching (CS) is still an understudied phenomenon in natural\nlanguage processing. The NLP community has mostly focused on monolingual and\nmulti-lingual scenarios, but little attention has been given to CS in\nparticular. This is partly because of the lack of resources and annotated data,\ndespite its increasing occurrence in social media platforms. In this paper, we\naim at adapting monolingual models to code-switched text in various tasks.\nSpecifically, we transfer English knowledge from a pre-trained ELMo model to\ndifferent code-switched language pairs (i.e., Nepali-English, Spanish-English,\nand Hindi-English) using the task of language identification. Our method,\nCS-ELMo, is an extension of ELMo with a simple yet effective position-aware\nattention mechanism inside its character convolutions. We show the\neffectiveness of this transfer learning step by outperforming multilingual BERT\nand homologous CS-unaware ELMo models and establishing a new state of the art\nin CS tasks, such as NER and POS tagging. Our technique can be expanded to more\nEnglish-paired code-switched languages, providing more resources to the CS\ncommunity.\n
Fuzzy and parametric method for self-configuration of home energy manager system (2013)

This document presents the work done in the ReactivHome project for the development of algorithms for automatic identification of electrical equipment and their parameters by using the electricity consumption signal. Several employees of the CEA-INES were asked to perform measurements on their own electrical appliances. The library of measure will be used as reference for identification phase. Several indicators will be determined by expert as cycle, duration, power consumption. In this phase, the fuzzy logic is used for applying these indicators calculated on the electrical measurements. In order to build a simple power consumption of household appliance, a parametric modelling is used. This identification mechanism was integrated in ReactivHome system and functionally.
Acquired perforating calcific collagenosis after topical calcium chloride exposure (2009)

A 24-year-old healthy man presented with a 6-week history of numerous umbilicated coalescing erythematous papules with some scale and crust on his anterior medial thighs. The eruption began 1 to 2 weeks after he spilled calcium chloride rock salts on his pants while salting the sidewalk during a snow storm. The salts dissolved and remained in contact with his skin for at least 4 hours until he was able to change clothes. A skin biopsy shows thick and thin collagen fibers with partial calcification in the papillary and upper reticular dermis associated with a sparse infiltrate of neutrophils, lymphocytes and mononuclear histiocytes. There are foci of transepidermal elimination of calcified fibers with adjacent epidermal hyperplasia and ortho- and parakeratosis. Von Kossa stain highlights calcification of the fibers, and trichrome stain confirms the fibers are collagen. A Verhoeff-van Gieson stain shows no abnormality of elastic fibers. The patient was treated with topical betametasone diproprionate cream twice daily for 3 weeks, as well as a short course of oral levofloxacin and topical gentamicin cream. The lesions resolved over 3 weeks with residual scarring. We report a unique case of acquired perforating calcific collagenosis secondary to topical calcium chloride exposure.
980. In Vivo, High Throughput Analysis Expands the Known Anti-Ad Innate Immune Response Profile, and Implicates TLR Pathways in Ad Cellular Immune Response (2006)

We exploited high titer adenoviral (Ad) vectors to more fully investigate the innate humoral and cellular responses to Ad gene transfer in vivo. As a result of this high throughput analysis, we have delineated a broader, and more potent innate humoral and cellular transcriptome response to Ad than has been previously reported. For example, gene array analysis revealed significant dysregulation in 20% of 12,000 RNA transcripts derived from the livers of Ad infected mice within hours of Ad injection. Bio-informatics based analysis of the data revealed a complex interplay between the innate and adaptive responses, akin to those observed when mice are challenged with LPS (i.e.: suppression of metabolism and mitochondrial genes) but with important differences. The Ad specific innate responses included upregulation of RNA regulatory mechanisms, purine nucleotide genes, and apoptosis-related pathways, and suppression of lysosome, endocytic, Wnt, and Calcium signaling pathways. Identification of novel, very rapid plasma cyto/chemokine elevations (IL-5, MCP-1, KC) were revealed by multiplexed, ELISA based methods. The combined approaches also implicated several TLR based gene networks as being Adresponsive. Subsequently, systemic Ad infections into MyD88-KO mice confirmed greatly diminished plasma cytokine and chemokine responses, as well as decreased liver expression of TLR, MAPK, cytokine receptor, mitochondrial, RNA regulation, cell cycle and growth, extracellular and adhesion, and immune response genes. In contrast, Ad treatments of TRIF-KO mice did not result in similar changes. Finally, continued Ad induction of several other innate functions, (innate immune genes, as well as elevations in several plasma cytokines/chemokines) even in Ad infected MyD88-KO mice confirms that this TLR pathway is not the only component of the Ad innate ‘sensing mechanism’ in vivo.
P‐83: Evaluation Scheme for Transparent Properties of AR See‐Through Eyewear Display (2018)

For evaluating transparent properties of Augmented Reality (AR) see‐through eyewear display, considering actual environmental illumination and its influence, we established a measurement series consisting of the following methods: Transmittance, Colour shift, Front side stray light, Rear side stray light and Modulated transfer function (MTF), which use parallel and diffused light sources. Spectral data is useful for simulating the performance under various environments.
Potential of attractive toxic sugar baits for controlling Musca domestica L., Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, and Megaselia scalaris Loew adult flies (2018)

Musca domestica, Drosophila melanogaster and Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Muscidae, Drosophilidae, and Phoridae, respectively) are common urban pest flies. Potential control of these adult fly species using an attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) system was evaluated in the laboratory. ATSB, consisting of a combination of mango fruit syrup (as bait) and acetamiprid (as toxic agent), was evaluated and compared with a commercially available fly bait (EndZone™ Insecticide sticker, FMC Corp., USA) containing acetamiprid. Mango syrup without toxicant (ASB) served as the negative control. The ASB + acetamiprid bait was the most effective control mixture based on initial knockdown within 10 min for house flies and 200 min for phorids. The combination produced a higher percentage of mortality in house flies and phorids, respectively, than in fruit flies; however, there was no significant difference between the bait formulations as indicated by the mean mortality of house flies and phorids. Significant differences in Drosophila mean mortality were demonstrated between the ATSB combinations. These findings suggested a fruit-based ASB + acetamiprid system could be used as a cost-effective, alternative for adult fly control.
Validation and application of nonlinear elastic model to design triple-beat-free SAW duplexers (2012)

We have proposed the nonlinear elastic model for predicting the nonlinear responses of surface acoustic wave (SAW) duplexers, especially for the in-band 3rd order nonlinear distortion, the so-called ‘triple beat’. This paper validates the nonlinear elastic model by comparing the simulated triple beat responses to the measurements in several designs of SAW duplexers. The model precisely simulates the every measurement result with an accuracy as high as a few dB. This model is applied to design the highly linear SAW duplexers for 1.9 GHz Personal Communications Service (PCS). The developed SAW duplexer achieves the extremely high linearity of approximately −90 dBc in the triple beat test, which is 20 dB better than the conventional duplexer keeping the equivalent filter characteristics and same packaging size. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first PCS SAW duplexer which satisfies the triple beat specification required in CDMA2000.
Living With Agents and Liking It: Addressing the Technical and Social Acceptability of Agent Technology (2003)

This paper summarizes our efforts to address some of the technical and social aspects of agent design for increased human acceptability. From a technical perspective, we want to be able to ensure the protection of agent state, the viability of agent communities, and the reliability of the resources on which they depend. To accomplish this, we must guarantee insofar as possible that the autonomy of agents can always be bounded by explicit enforceable policy that can be continually adjusted to maximize their effectiveness and safety in both human and computational environments. From a social perspective, we want agents to be designed so as to fit well with how people actually work together. Explicit policies governing human-agent interaction based on careful observation of work practice and an understanding of current social science research can help assure that effective and natural coordination, appropriate levels and modalities of feedback, and adequate predictability and responsiveness to human control are maintained. We see these technical and social factors as key to providing the reassurance and trust that are prerequisite to the widespread acceptance of agent technology for nontrivial applications.

7th Workshop on Model-Based Testing, MBT 2012. Proceedings. Online resource: Held on 25 March, 2012 in Tallinn, Estonia, as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2012 (2012)

This volume contains the proceedings of the Seventh Workshop on Model-Based Testing (MBT 2012), which was held on 25 March, 2012 in Tallinn, Estonia, as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2012. The workshop is devoted to model-based testing of both software and hardware. Model-based testing uses models describing the required behavior of the system under consideration to guide such efforts as test selection and test results evaluation. Testing validates the real system behavior against models and checks that the implementation conforms to them, but is capable also to find errors in the models themselves. The first MBT workshop was held in 2004, in Barcelona. At that time MBT already had become a hot topic, but the MBT workshop was the first event devoted mostly to this topic. Since that time the area has generated enormous scientific interest, and today there are several specialized workshops and more broad conferences on software and hardware design and quality assurance covering model based testing. MBT has become one of the most powerful system analysis tools, one of the latest hot topic related is applying MBT in security analysis and testing. MBT workshop tries to keep up with current trends. In 2012 "industrial paper" category was added to the program and two industrial papers were accepted by the program committee.

100-nm-Scale Alignment using Laser Beam Diffraction Pattern Observation Techniques and Wafer Fusion for Realizing Three-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Structure (1998)

We previously proposed a new method for realizing three-dimensional photonic crystals in the optical wavelength region, where two-dimensional basic structures are aligned using a laser beam diffraction pattern observation technique and stacked by means of a wafer fusion. In this method, it is essential to align the two-dimensional basic structures with an accuracy of optical wavelength order at wafer fusion. In this work, we develop an alignment system based on a laser beam diffraction pattern observation technique and achieve alignment and wafer fusion with accuracy of less than 100 nm, for the first time.
CVD Technology for 2-D Materials (2018)

The urgently growing demand for lowering the power consumption and increasing the performance in electronic and optoelectronic systems has been driving the scientific community to explore new materials and device architectures. In light of this, 2-D materials including graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal dichalcogenides have the potential to revolutionize our semiconductor industry by scaling the devices down to the atomic level. These materials benefit from several unique properties, endowed by their 2-D nature, such as surface free of dangling bonds, ultimate scaling limit in vertical dimension for almost perfect gate electrostatic control, and strong excitonic effects. However, to realize the full potential of these materials, it is required to develop a large-scale synthesis method. For this, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has shown great promise to synthesize these high-quality 2-D crystals with scalable-production capability. In this review, we will give a brief overview of the current state of the art in CVD growth of 2-D materials and its prospects for next-generation device applications. First, we will review several representative growth techniques in which large area, high quality 2-D materials are demonstrated. We will then describe the status of the development of electronics, optoelectronics, and sensors based on CVD-grown 2-D materials. Finally, we will discuss the major challenges and future opportunities in this rapidly advancing field of research.
Enhancing muconic acid production from glucose and lignin-derived aromatic compounds via increased protocatechuate decarboxylase activity (2016)

The conversion of biomass-derived sugars and aromatic molecules to <i>cis</i>,<i>cis</i>-muconic acid (referred to hereafter as muconic acid or muconate) has been of recent interest owing to its facile conversion to adipic acid, an important commodity chemical. Metabolic routes to produce muconate from both sugars and many lignin-derived aromatic compounds require the use of a decarboxylase to convert protocatechuate (PCA, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate) to catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene), two central aromatic intermediates in this pathway. Several studies have identified the PCA decarboxylase as a metabolic bottleneck, causing an accumulation of PCA that subsequently reduces muconate production. A recent study showed that activity of the PCA decarboxylase is enhanced by co-expression of two genetically associated proteins, one of which likely produces a flavin-derived cofactor utilized by the decarboxylase. Using entirely genome-integrated gene expression, we have engineered <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> KT2440-derived strains to produce muconate from either aromatic molecules or sugars and demonstrate in both cases that co-expression of these decarboxylase associated proteins reduces PCA accumulation and enhances muconate production relative to strains expressing the PCA decarboxylase alone. In bioreactor experiments, co-expression increased the specific productivity (mg/g cells/h) of muconate from the aromatic lignin monomer <i>p</i>-coumarate by 50% and resulted in a titer of >15 g/L. In strains engineered to produce muconate from glucose, co-expression more than tripled the titer, yield, productivity, and specific productivity, with the best strain producing 4.92±0.48 g/L muconate. This study demonstrates that overcoming the PCA decarboxylase bottleneck can increase muconate yields from biomass-derived sugars and aromatic molecules in industrially relevant strains and cultivation conditions.
Location-based Resource Allocation for mobile D2D communications in multicell deployments (2015)

Cooperative intelligent traffic systems (C-ITS) will help improve the safety and efficiency of ground transportation by enabling the cooperation between traffic participants. Applications based on the C-ITS paradigm rely on vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-infrastructure, and vehicle-to-device (collectively, V2X) communication for the exchange of critical information and have very stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements on the reliability and availability of the communication links. In order to enable V2X communication using the envisioned device-to-device underlay of future 5G cellular networks, we have introduced a Location Dependent Resource Allocation Scheme (LDRAS) in [1]. In this paper, we enhance and extend LDRAS to multicell deployments, and quantify its performance based on extensive system level simulations. The results show that LDRAS significantly improves the QoS for future C-ITS applications, from radio resource management point of view. However, satisfying the requirements of such services necessitates further improvements of 5G networks over current 4G deployments.
Measurement of theCP-Violating PhaseϕsinB¯s0→Ds+Ds−Decays (2014)

We present a measurement of the CP-violating weak mixing phase ϕs using the decay Bs(0)→Ds(+)Ds(-) in a data sample corresponding to 3.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. An analysis of the time evolution of the system, which does not use the constraint |λ|=1 to allow for the presence of CP violation in decay, yields ϕs=0.02±0.17(stat)±0.02(syst) rad, |λ|=0.91(-0.15)(+0.18)(stat)±0.02(syst). This result is consistent with the standard model expectation.
Energy Accountability Using Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (2014)

Conventional power meters measure total kilowatt-hours yet reveal little about how power was used. Modern solid-state metering solutions are not necessarily taking full advantage of the inexpensive but high performance computation capability that is available. This paper contains the details of a field test of a new software architecture for nonintrusive utility monitoring that endeavors to solve the big data problem of handling interesting but high bandwidth data streams from many monitored sites, e.g., residences and commercial buildings. Results from a field test are used to illustrate the utility of this system.
{Cyclopentadienyl/Fluorenyl}‐Group 4 ansa‐Metallocene Catalysts for Production of Tailor‐Made Polyolefins (2020)

The development of new metallocene-based polymerization catalysts and innovative processes derived thereof still constitutes a challenge for the manufacturing of polyolefinic materials with tailored properties (e. g. particular microstructure or topology, ultra-high molecular weight, high melting transition, and their combinations) for contemporary commercial applications. This personal account summarizes our continuing endeavors to advance the family of industry-relevant stereoselective propylene polymerization catalysts based on C<sub>1</sub> -symmetric group 4 ansa-metallocenes incorporating multi-substituted fluorenyl-cyclopentadienyl {Cp/Flu} ligands. Within the framework of this project, valuable structural and catalytic data, harvested both for neutral metallocenes and for metallocenium ion-pairs, have been used for rational design of more efficient catalytic systems, reluctant towards side reactions, and for providing new stereoregular value-added polymer materials.
