Investigating the effectiveness of bifacial mixed metal MOF electrodes for the photoelectro-catalytic treatment of municipal wastewater (2023)

The effectiveness of bifacial mixed metal-metal organic framework (MOF) anodes for municipal wastewater's photoelectro-catalytic (PEC) treatment has been rarely explored. Herein, pollutants removal efficiency from the municipal wastewater and the effect of operational parameters is verified under a visible range of light in a PEC system using TiO 2 –Bi(mixed metal)-MOF and TiO 2 –Sb(mixed metal)-MOF anodes, respectively. The comparable efficiency of pollutant removal from municipal wastewater in the PEC system with TiO 2 –Bi(mixed metal)-MOF anodes is high. At optimum operation parameters, TiO 2 –Bi(mixed metal)-MOF anodes in the PEC system play a positive role in the removal of micropollutants and the disinfection of municipal wastewater. This study reveals that PEC treatment of municipal wastewater contributes (35% of relative luminescence inhibition) to toxic biproducts.
G060021 Simulation of Confined Turbulent Non-Premixed Combustion with the Partially Stirred Reactor (PaSR) Model (2012)

This work discusses the implementation of partially stirred reactor (PaSR) model in OpenFOAM CFD tool. The code was validated in modeling of confined turbulent non-premixed propane jet flames. OpenFOAM-reacting FOAM code solves the Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations on an unstructured mesh. The computational predictions of scalar and flow fields in the combustion chamber are extensively compared against experimental measurements with good agreements. Thus this validation lead suited numerical codes for confined furnace modeling. The suitability of employment of PaSR model with detailed chemical reaction mechanisms over global reaction mechanism is demonstrated and discussed. The PaSR concept with complex chemistry increases significantly the computational time. Thus the ISAT algorithm is used to store and retrieve for the calculation of composition changers due to chemical reaction and then reduce large computational cost.
Computational fluid dynamics study of the atomic layer deposition process around cylindrical and planar configurations (2023)

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were used to model atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating processes in the continuum flow regime. CFD model was validated for non-reactive and reactive flows. In ALD CFD simulations, surfaces in various test cases were considered as non-porous aluminum oxide. The effect of trimethylaluminium precursor partial pressure, initial condition, and Reynolds number (Re) on coating timescale were analyzed. The CFD model accurately captured the surface coverage solution for all cases when the domain was initially filled with the precursor. The absence of initial precursor delayed coating time during the surface concentration level development process. As Re increased, coating time significantly decreased due to reduced diffusion limitations and promoted convection swiftly transporting precursors to the surfaces. The provided example showed that 2D polydisperse fixed cylinder bed is fully coated within approximately one flow time through the bed. The benefits of CFD in understanding ALD processes were discussed.

BAMQL provides a user-friendly, powerful and performant way to extract subsets of BAM files for ad hoc analyses or integration into applications. The query language provides a collection of predicates beyond those in SAMtools, and more flexible connectives.
Towards cone-beam CT thermometry (2013)

Temperature monitoring and therefore the final treatment zone achieved during a cone-beam CT (CBCT) guided ablation can prevent overtreatment and undertreatment. A novel method is proposed to detect changes in consecutive CBCT images obtained from projection reconstructions during an ablation procedure. The possibility is explored of using this method to generate thermometry maps from CBCT images, which can be used as an input function for ablation treatment planning. This novel method uses a baseline and an intermittent CBCT scan, which are routinely acquired to confirm the needle position and monitor progress of the ablation. Accurate registration is required and assumed in vitro and ex vivo. A Wronskian change detector algorithm is applied on the compensated images to obtain a difference image between the intermittent and baseline scans. Finally, a thermal map created by applying a calibration determined experimentally is used to obtain the corresponding temperature at each pixel or voxel. We applied Wronskian change detector to detect the difference of two CBCT images, which have low signal to noise ratio, and calibrate Wronskian change model to temperature data using a gel phantom. We tested the temperature mapping with water and gel phantoms as well as pig shoulder. The experimental results show this method can detect temperature change within 5°C for a voxel size of 1mm3 (within clinical relevancy), and by consequence delineate the ablation zone. The preliminary experimental results show that CBCT thermometry is possible and promising, but may require pre-processing, such as registration for motion compensation between the baseline and intermittent scans. Further, quantitative evaluations have to be conducted for validation prior to clinical assessment and translation. CBCT is a widely available technology that could make thermometry clinically practical as an enabling component of iterative ablation treatment planning.

Safe estimate of sinusoidal signals for control applications (2003)

Second order notch filters are commonly used for frequency estimation purposes. They are characterised by a single design parameter, the value of which is selected to achieve a suitable compromise between tracking performance and bias/variance errors. Funnel filters are a recently proposed class of fourth order filters, which provide enhanced tracking capability, without any deterioration of the steady-state performance. In this paper an application example is proposed: notch and funnel filters are used for the estimation of the rotating speed of a DVD player, in order to implement a control scheme which selectively cancels narrow-band disturbances.
Proposal of Ultrafine and High Reliable Trench Wiring Process for Organic Interposer (2017)

An organic interposer technology with ultrafine line and space is required to achieve high-density interconnection between chips. In this article, we propose a high reliability, ultrafine trench wiring process. Currently, trench wiring is made by laser ablation of dielectric, sputtering, copper plating, and then chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). However, it is challenging to achieve fine trench with smooth side wall using laser ablation, and CMP is also not suitable because of its high assembly cost. Reliability is another challenge because of the narrower and thinner insulator. We have developed a photosensitive insulation film (PIF) with fine resolution. The trench wiring of 2/2 μm line and space has been successfully assembled by photolithography, plating, and surface planer method as the alternative to CMP. The wiring layer of 2/2 μm line and space, which is covered with a thin barrier metal layer and PIF, has passed the biased highly accelerated temperature and humidity stress test (HAST) screening. A copper paste is applied as a seed layer instead of sputtering. The sintered copper filled with adhesive paste into the copper pores is compatible as the seed layer, and the wiring layer of 10/10 μm line and space has passed the reliability tests such as moisture sensitivity level 2 (MSL2), thermal cycling test, and biased HAST.

Osteoporotic Spinal Deformity (2004)

This review article develops a biomechanical rationale for the clinical consequences and treatment of osteoporotic vertebral body compression fracture. In patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures and spinal deformity, altered spinal biomechanics and global spinal imbalance are important factors in the increased morbidity and mortality reported in this population. Severe spinal deformity impairs physical functioning, health, and quality of life. The spinal deformity itself, independent of pain, is a significant cause of disability. Spinal deformity is also an independent risk factor for hip fracture. Treatments directed at osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures should ideally address spinal deformity as well as pain. Balloon kyphoplasty, the minimally invasive technique of reduction and internal fixation of osteopenic vertebral body compression fractures that addresses pain and spinal deformity, is discussed.
Toxicity of recombinant human interleukin-2 in rats following intravenous infusion. (1985)

The recent availability of recombinant human interleukin-2 (RIL-2) has increased interest in the potential clinical use of this lymphokine. We have examined the biologic effects of intermittent bolus and continuous intravenous administration of RIL-2 in rats. The mean (+/- SEM) half-life after an intravenous bolus injection of RIL-2 was determined to be 2.9 +/- 0.5 min (n = 4). The administration of intermittent intravenous bolus injections of RIL-2 of doses up to 10(6) units/kg every other day for 2 weeks was well tolerated without toxicity as determined by organ histology and serum chemistries. The continuous intravenous infusion of RIL-2 through an indwelling external jugular vein catheter was tolerated for 2 weeks at doses less than or equal to 3,000 U/kg/h and was associated with no abnormal serum chemistries or organ pathology. By contrast, animals that received less than 10,000 U/kg/h demonstrated RIL-2 toxicity leading to death of treated rats. Serum chemistries revealed a fourfold increase in serum glutamate oxaloacetic transaminase and serum glutamate pyruvic transaminase. Liver histology revealed hepatocellular necrosis with mononuclear cell infiltration. The thymus was depleted of lymphocytes and lymphoid infiltrates were present in liver, spleen, and lung. This is the first documentation of toxicity secondary to RIL-2 administration and suggests that hepatopathy may be the dose-limiting toxicity accompanying the administration of RIL-2.
551 Structure Optimization of Tri-Axial Force Sensor for Robot Fingers (2008)

Recently, robot research that coexists with people and is helpful for them is active. To perform high manipulation as human by robot hand, it is necessary for us to obtain distributional information of tri-axial force acting on finger-tip. In a past study, we suggested original structure of tri-axial force sensor which can be mounted on robot finger-tip plurally. In this article, we suggest an optimization method of the structure of that sensor, and inspect the effectiveness of proposed method by simulation.
Oral Ketamine in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (2000)

Ketamine, an NMDA antagonist, has been used in pain treatment for a number of years. Recent reports have suggested its utility in a variety of pain states including post-herpetic neuralgia [1], cancer [2], and postoperative pain [5]. While a variety of neuropsychologic side effects are observed with parenteral ketamine, in oral use these side effects have been less pronounced [2,3]. We report a patient with severe hepatic disease who developed hallucinations following a 75-mg oral dose of ketamine for treatment of severe cancer pain unresponsive to morphine.
High Oxidation State Transition Metal Complexes Ligated with N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (2008)

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) found numerous applications as ligands for transition metal complexes during the last two decades. Only recently, however, increasing attention is turning to high oxidation state organometallics with NHC ligands. A surprising number of stable complexes of that type have been described mainly during the last five years and several of them have potential for application in both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis of organic reactions. This article describes the preparation and characteristics of these high oxidation state organometallic complexes with NHC ligands and gives an outlook on their possible applications. Keywords: N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), NHC ligands, transition metal complexes, organometallics, heterogeneous catalysis, oxidation state

Ein bisschen Farbe ins Leben! An ein Donor-Acceptor-substituiertes Stilben gebundene Antikörper fluoreszieren stark im blauen und grünen Farbbereich. Photophysikalische und Strukturanalysen deuten an, dass die Bindung von Antikörpern die Eigenschaften der angeregten Zustände von Stilben verändert. Derartige Komplexe könnten in vitro und in vivo als Fluoreszenzbiosensoren angewendet werden.
Chip multiprocessing and the cell broadband engine (2006)

Chip multiprocessing has become an exciting new direction for system designers to deliver increased performance by exploiting CMOS scaling. We discuss key design decisions facing the system architect of a chip multiprocessor and describe how these choices were made in the design of the Cell Broadband Engine.An important decision is whether to base system performance on thread-level parallelism alone, or to complement thread-level parallelism with other forms of parallelism. Depending on workload characteristics, providing parallelism at the processor core level may increase overall system efficiency.Parallelism is also a key to utilize available memory bandwidth more efficiently, by overlapping and interleaving multiple accesses to system memory. By interleaving the access streams of multiple threads, memory level parallelism can be increased to allow better memory interface utilization. In addition, compute-transfer parallelism (CTP) offers a new form of parallelism to initiate memory transfers under software control without stalling the requesting thread.We describe how the Cell Broadband Enginetmuses parallelism at all levels of the system abstraction to deliver a quantum leap in application performance, and how the Cell Synergistic Memory Flow engine exploits compute-transfer level parallelism by providing efficient block transfer capabilities.
Towards the Improvement of Hydrotreatment Catalysts through the Encapsulation of Heteropolyoxometalates inside the Framework of SBA‐15 Silica (2014)

Abstract In the context of the search for higher performance hydrodesulfurization catalysts, materials made by a novel method of immobilizing heteropolyoxometalates on mesoporous oxides were compared to those derived by incipient wetness impregnation for the hydrogenation of toluene. The catalysts prepared by the one‐pot encapsulation of HPMo into the walls of SBA‐15 silica were found to be significantly more active for the reaction.
Atomic Garbage Collection (1992)

• The quantitative significance of amino acids to plant nutrition remains controversial. This experiment determined whether post-uptake metabolism and root to shoot export differ between glycine and glutamine, and examined implications for estimation of amino acid uptake. • Field soil containing a Eucalyptus pauciflora seedling was injected with uniformly (13)C- and (15)N-labelled glycine or glutamine. I quantified (15)N and (13)C excess in leaves and roots and intact labelled amino acids in leaves, roots and stem xylem sap. A tunable diode laser quantified fluxes of (12)CO(2) and (13)CO(2) from leaves and soil. • 60-360 min after addition of amino acid, intact molecules of U-(13)C,(15)N glutamine were < 5% of (15)N excess in roots, whereas U-(13)C,(15)N glycine was 30-100% of (15)N excess in roots. Intact molecules of glutamine, but not glycine, were exported from roots to shoots. • Post-uptake metabolism and transport complicate interpretation of isotope labelling such that root and shoot contents of intact amino acid, (13)C and (15)N may not reflect rates of uptake. Future experiments should focus on reconciling discrepancies between intact amino acid, (13)C and (15)N by determining the turnover of amino acids within roots. Alternatively, post-uptake metabolism and transport could be minimized by harvesting plants within minutes of isotope addition.
Predicting Interconnect Delay for Physical Synthesis in a FPGA CAD Flow (2007)

This paper studies the prediction of interconnect delay in an industrial setting. Industrial circuits and two industrial field-programmable gate-array (FPGA) architectures were used in this paper. We show that there is a large amount of inherent randomness in a state-of-the-art FPGA placement algorithm. Thus, it is impossible to predict interconnect delay with a high degree of accuracy. Furthermore, we show that a simple timing model can be used to predict some aspects of interconnect timing with just as much accuracy as predictions obtained by running the placement tool itself. Using this simple timing model in a two-phase timing driven physical synthesis flow can both improve quality of results and decrease runtime. Next, we present a metric for predicting the accuracy of our interconnect delay model and show how this metric can be used to reduce the runtime of a timing driven physical synthesis flow. Finally, we examine the benefits of using the simple timing model in a timing driven physical synthesis flow, and attempt to establish an upper bound on these possible gains, given the difficulty of interconnect delay prediction.
Nucleotide sequence at the junction between the nonstructural and the structural genes of the semliki forest virus genome (1982)

The nucleotide sequence at the junction between the nonstructural and the structural genes of the Semliki Forest virus 42S RNA genome has been determined from cloned cDNA. With the aid of S1-mapping, we have located the 5' end of the viral 26S RNA on this sequence. The 26S RNA is homologous to the 3' end of the 42S RNA and is used as a messenger for the structural proteins of the virus. The nucleotide sequence in the noncoding 5' region of the 26S RNA (51 bases) was thus established, completing the primary structure of the 26S RNA molecule (for earlier sequence work, see Garoff et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77:6376-6380, 1980, and Garoff et al., Nature (London) 288:236-241, 1980). An examination of the nucleotide sequences upstream from the initiator codon for the structural proteins on the 42S RNA genome shows that all reading frames are effectively blocked by stop codons, which means that the nonstructural genes in the 5' end of the 42S RNA molecule do not overlap with the structural ones at the 3' end of the molecule.
Indoor Localization Using Visible Light Via Fusion of Multiple Classifiers (2017)

We propose a localization technique by fusing multiple classifiers based on received signal strengths (RSSs) of visible light in which different intensity-modulated sinusoidal signals emitted by LEDs are captured by photodiodes placed at various grid points. First, we obtain some approximate RSSs fingerprints by capturing the peaks of power spectral density of the received signals at each given grid point. Unlike the existing RSSs-based algorithms, several representative machine learning algorithms are adopted to train multiple classifiers based on these RSSs fingerprints. Then, two robust fusion localization algorithms, namely, grid-independent least square and grid-dependent least square (GD-LS), are proposed to combine the outputs of these classifiers. A singular value decomposition (SVD)-based LS (LS-SVD) method is proposed to mitigate the numerical stability problem when the prediction matrix is singular. Experiments conducted on an intensity-modulated direct detection system show that the probability of having mean square positioning error of less than 5 cm achieved by GD-LS is improved by 93.03% and 93.15%, respectively, as compared to those by the RSS ratio and RSS matching methods with the fast Fourier transform length of 2000.
Mixing Yeast, Lactose, and Varying Amounts of Salt: Which will Produce the Highest Amount of CO2? (2017)

Baker’s yeast is used in the production of different products in many industries. In our experiment, we tested the effect of different amounts of salt on baker’s yeast which led to our hypothesis being that the experimental group with the most amount of table salt added to the mixture will produce the lowest amount of CO2. We placed baker’s yeast, deionized water, Sodium Phosphate, lactose, and different amounts of salt in a small bio chamber to test the amount of CO2 produced. Our results were not conclusive because there was such a high amount of variability. With the proper equipment and more time, this study could be important to industries that use baker’s yeast to increase production rates of their products.

Structural and optical properties of Al 1-xInxN grown by metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy (1999)

We have studied structural and optical properties of Al 1-xInxN (0 0.4, which is smaller than the bandgap of InN. Considering that electronic Hall concentration was in the order of 10 20 cm -3 and the grain size of Al 1-xInxN films was in the order of several tens of nm, semimetallic feature of these films may play a role.
Leveraging One-Hop Information in Massive MIMO Full-Duplex Wireless Systems (2017)

We consider a single-cell massive multiple input multiple output full-duplex wireless communication system, where the base-station (BS) is equipped with a large number of antennas. We consider the setup where the single-antenna mobile users operate in half-duplex, while each antenna at the BS is capable of full-duplex transmissions, i.e., it can transmit and receive simultaneously using the same frequency spectrum. The fundamental challenge in this system is intra-cell inter-node interference, generated by the transmissions of uplink users to the receptions at the downlink users. The key operational challenge is estimating and aggregating inter-mobile channel estimates, which can potentially overwhelm any gains from full-duplex operation. In this paper, we propose a scalable and distributed scheme to optimally manage the inter-node interference by utilizing a “one-hop information architecture”. In this architecture, the BS only needs to know the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio from the downlink users. Each uplink user needs its own SINR, along with a weighted signal-plus-noise metric from its one-hop neighboring downlink users, which are the downlink users, that it interferes with. The proposed one-hop information architecture does not require any network devices to comprehensively gather the vast inter-node interference channel knowledge, and hence significantly reduces the overhead. Based on the one-hop information architecture, we design a distributed power control algorithm and implement such architecture using overheard feedback information. We show that, in typical asymptotic regimes with many users and antennas, the proposed distributed power control scheme improves the overall network utility and reduces the transmission power of the uplink users.
