A case for an SC-preserving compiler (2012)

The most intuitive memory consistency model for shared-memory multi-threaded programming is sequential consistency (SC). However, current concurrent programming languages support a relaxed model, as such relaxations are deemed necessary for enabling important optimizations. This paper demonstrates that an SC-preserving compiler, one that ensures that every SC behavior of a compiler-generated binary is an SC behavior of the source program, retains most of the performance benefits of an optimizing compiler. The key observation is that a large class of optimizations crucial for performance are either already SC-preserving or can be modified to preserve SC while retaining much of their effectiveness. An SC-preserving compiler, obtained by restricting the optimization phases in LLVM, a state-of-the-art C/C++ compiler, incurs an average slowdown of 3.8% and a maximum slowdown of 34% on a set of 30 programs from the SPLASH-2, PARSEC, and SPEC CINT2006 benchmark suites.

Neural Cross-Lingual Entity Linking (2017)

A major challenge in Entity Linking (EL) is making effective use of contextual information to disambiguate mentions to Wikipedia that might refer to different entities in different contexts. The problem exacerbates with cross-lingual EL which involves linking mentions written in non-English documents to entries in the English Wikipedia: to compare textual clues across languages we need to compute similarity between textual fragments across languages. In this paper, we propose a neural EL model that trains fine-grained similarities and dissimilarities between the query and candidate document from multiple perspectives, combined with convolution and tensor networks. Further, we show that this English-trained system can be applied, in zero-shot learning, to other languages by making surprisingly effective use of multi-lingual embeddings. The proposed system has strong empirical evidence yielding state-of-the-art results in English as well as cross-lingual: Spanish and Chinese TAC 2015 datasets.
Atomic layer deposition of CeO2 using a heteroleptic cyclopentadienyl-amidinate precursor (2018)

Cerium oxide thin films were deposited on fused silica using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The novel Ce precursor, Ce(iPrCp)2(N-iPr-amd) [bis-isopropylcyclopentadienyl-di-isopropylacetamidinate-cerium] is a room-temperature liquid with good thermal stability and evaporates cleanly. Water vapor was used as the oxygen source. The growth characteristics and film properties of ALD CeO2 were investigated. A relatively broad ALD window of 165–285 °C resulted in a constant growth rate of 1.9 Å/cycle and good thickness uniformity. The films deposited at 240 °C were found to be polycrystalline with cubic structure without a preferential direction in as-deposited condition. However, films grown at 335 °C slightly favored a (200) preferred orientation. XPS analysis showed that films are free from contamination, and the Ce:O stoichiometry analysis revealed the existence of oxygen vacancies in the films with composition CeO1.74.
Fuzzy edge-symmetry features for improved intruder detection (2004)

The paper proposes a new set of fuzzy features based on symmetry of edges for improving the accuracy of detecting intruders. We show that the proposed fuzzy edge-symmetry feature-based classifier is comparable to the detection accuracy of a multi-scale wavelet feature system for intruder detection. We also present two approaches to fusing the results of classifiers trained independently on the edge-symmetry and wavelet features. Experimental results clearly indicate the improvement in system performance when the results of the two classifiers are fused.
Two-Dimensional IR Spectroscopy of Protein Dynamics Using Two Vibrational Labels: A Site-Specific Genetically Encoded Unnatural Amino Acid and an Active Site Ligand (2011)

Protein dynamics and interactions in myoglobin (Mb) were characterized via two vibrational dynamics labels (VDLs): a genetically incorporated site-specific azide (Az) bearing unnatural amino acid (AzPhe43) and an active site CO ligand. The Az-labeled protein was studied using ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) vibrational echo spectroscopy. CO bound at the active site of the heme serves as a second VDL located nearby. Therefore, it was possible to use Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and 2D IR spectroscopic experiments on the Az in unligated Mb and in Mb bound to CO (MbAzCO) and on the CO in MbCO and MbAzCO to investigate the environment and motions of different states of one protein from the perspective of two spectrally resolved VDLs. A very broad bandwidth 2D IR spectrum, encompassing both the Az and CO spectral regions, found no evidence of direct coupling between the two VDLs. In MbAzCO, both VDLs reported similar time scale motions: very fast homogeneous dynamics, fast, ∼1 ps dynamics, and dynamics on a much slower time scale. Therefore, each VDL reports independently on the protein dynamics and interactions, and the measured dynamics are reflective of the protein motions rather than intrinsic to the chemical nature of the VDL. The AzPhe VDL also permitted study of oxidized Mb dynamics, which could not be accessed previously with 2D IR spectroscopy. The experiments demonstrate that the combined application of 2D IR spectroscopy and site-specific incorporation of VDLs can provide information on dynamics, structure, and interactions at virtually any site throughout any protein.
REPORTS (1991)

A new technique for characterizing somatic mutations in very small samples of cellularly heterogeneous human cancer tissue was developed and tested using mutations in the p53 gene in breast carcinomas as a model system. The technique combines touch preparation of specimens to obtain homogeneous clusters of carcinoma cells free of normal cells with a nested pair of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications of DNA to increase the amount of target gene sequence sufficiently to permit direct sequencing of the p53 gene. Touch preparations of fresh or previously frozen tissue from human adenocarcinomas derived from several organs were stained, and clusters of 10-50 malignant cells were transferred by pipette into microfuge tubes for PCR amplification. Exons 5-9 of the p53 gene, which contain the major mutational hot spots associated with most human cancers, were sequenced by the following steps: 1) two rounds of PCR amplification using DNA Taq polymerase and two sets of oligonucleotide primers, the second set being nested within the segment amplified by the first set and having attached T7 and SP6 phage promoter sequences, 2) transcription of the amplified DNA sequences with T7 and SP6 RNA polymerases, and 3) dideoxy sequencing of single-stranded RNA transcripts with reverse transcriptase and with additional oligonucleotide primers to achieve specificity for this unique region of the genome. The utility of this approach is illustrated by our success in detecting and analyzing point mutations in cell clusters from four of 11 primary adenocarcinomas of the human breast.
Improving link quality of UWB communication links by means of PSWF-Basis persuit denoising (2011)

Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) utilising Ultra Wideband communication channels often use a combination of thin sensor nodes and a heavy base node. The sensor nodes need to be as simple and low power as possible. This makes it difficult to maintain a good quality link. In this paper additional post processing steps at the base node are proposed in order to overcome these issues. A basis persuit denoising technique, using Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions (PSWFs), combined with a sampling technique inspired by compressive sensing allows data to be recovered even when the link is interrupted for short intervals.

Vascular Access and Clinical Outcomes in Underserved Hemodialysis Patients in Mexico (2021)

CVC prevalence and conversion rates of CVC to NON-CVC differed between the US and Mexican patients. An association exists between vascular access type and hospitalization and mortality risk. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate if accelerated and systematic catheter use reduction would improve outcomes in these populations.
Optimal Energy Efficient Design of Artificial Noise to Prevent Side-Channel Attacks (2022)

How to prevent side-channel attacks (SCAs) has become an important problem for securing modern cryptographic devices. One of the widely used countermeasures to against power SCAs is the injection of random noise sequence into the raw leakage traces. However, the indiscriminate injection of random noise can lead to significant increases in energy consumption. In this paper, we propose an optimal energy efficient design for artificial noise to prevent side-channel attacks. We model the side-channel as a communication channel, which allows us to use channel capacity to measure the mutual information between the secret and the leakage traces. For a given energy budget in the noise generation, we obtain the optimal design of the artificial noise injection by solving the side-channel’s channel capacity minimization problem.

<h3>Multiple Sclerosis. Hyperkeratosis of Palms and Soles. Multiple Multicentric Superficial Basal-Cell Epitheliomas, Secondary to Ingestion of Arsenic. Presented by Dr. John S. Strauss.</h3> A white man, aged 43, has had a generalized dermatosis of 10 years' duration. He also has multiple sclerosis. About 10 years ago he noted warty growths on the palms and soles. Three years ago he noticed lesions on the shoulders and scalp, which, on biopsy, proved to be multicentric superficial basal-cell epitheliomas. Biopsy of a plantar lesion revealed hyperkeratosis, and that of a palmar growth demonstrated hyperkeratosis with features suggesting premalignancy. All biopsied lesions were treated by electrodesiccation in December, 1957. During the past year two new lesions developed on the back and right temporal area. These were basal-cell tumors, and were similarly treated. There is no history of ingestion of arsenic, by name. However, the patient admits to a lifelong habit of picking and eating apples directly from
New Massarilactones, Massarigenin E, and Coniothyrenol, Isolated from the Endophytic Fungus Coniothyrium sp. from Carpobrotus edulis (2007)

Abstract New massarilactones C ( 3 ) and D ( 4 ), massarigenin E ( 5 ), and coniothyrenol ( 6 ) were isolated from Coniothyrium sp. together with the known graphislactone A ( 1 ) and massarilactone A ( 2 ). The relative configuration of coniothyrenol ( 6 ) with an unprecedented benzo[ a ]xanthene skeleton and ten chirality centers was determined by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.

Global Avian In耀uenza Surveillance in Wild Birds: A Strategy to Capture Viral Diversity ONLINE REPORT (2015)

Wild birds play a major role in the evolution, maintenance, and spread of avian in�耀uenza viruses. However, surveillance for these viruses in wild birds is sporadic, geographically biased, and often limited to the last outbreak virus. To identify opportunities to optimize wild bird surveillance for understanding viral diversity, we reviewed responses to a World Organisation for Animal Health–administered survey, government reports to this organization, articles on Web of Knowledge, and the In�耀uenza Research Database. At least 119 countries conducted avian in�耀uenza virus surveillance in wild birds during 2008–2013, but coordination and standardization was lacking among surveillance efforts, and most focused on limited subsets of in�耀uenza viruses. Given high �耀nancial and public health burdens of recent avian in�耀uenza outbreaks, we call for sustained, cost-effective investments in locations with high avian in�耀uenza diversity in wild birds and efforts to promote standardized sampling, testing, and reporting methods, including full-genome sequencing and sharing of isolates with the scienti�耀c community.
Entropic Effects on the Supramolecular Self-Assembly of Macromolecules (2015)

We report the transfer of entropic chain length effects into the realm of supramolecular chemistry and thereby demonstrate a macromolecular method to tune the reaction equilibria of hydrogen bonding motifs via the application of substituents of differing lengths and masses while not altering the actual recognition units to achieve a difference in the degree of association. The supramolecular adducts are characterized via temperature-dependent nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Experimental Investigation of a Novel Nanosilica for Blocking Unwanted Water Production (2021)

Abstract Nanotechnology is the design and application of engineered nanoparticles with one minimum dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers. To achieve a specific target, innovative methods are highly required to overcome the challenges in the oil and gas industry, such as undesired water production. Herein, we present an advanced nanosilica, a new eco-friendly, cost-effective, and promising approach to control undesirable water production. The objective of this work is to evaluate our nanofluid system that can be used for water management in different water production mechanisms, including: high permeability streak, wormhole, and fractured reservoirs. A systematic evaluation of novel nanosilica/activator for water shut-off application requires an examination of the chemical properties before, during, and after gelation at given reservoir conditions. The placement of this water shut-off system is highly dependent on gelation time and viscosity. Therefore, we emphasized in this study on investigating these gelation kinetics by conducting extensive rheology experiments at varied temperatures and activator concentrations. We have looked into evaluating the optimum breaker for the gel as a contingency plan for improper placement. Measurements of the nanosilica fluid’s initial viscosity exhibited a low viscosity, less than 10 cP at normal temperature and pressure (NTP) conditions; this provides significant benefit for mixing at surface and pumping requirements for pilot testing. The nanosilica gelation time can be tailored by adjusting activator concentration to match field job design at a given temperature, which is more than 200°F. The gelation time revealed an exponential relationship with temperature and reversible proportionality. The nanosilica gel proved to be a thermally stable fluid system along with different activation ratios. For breaker tests, the gellant fluid showed complete breakdown at altered temperatures to mimic downhole conditions. Our lab observations conclude that nanosilica fluid is verified to be acceptable as a water shut-off system for field applications. This novel nanofluid system is a promising technology to control water production from oil wells. The system has low initial viscosity that can be injected in porous media without hindering the injectivity and getting at risk of fracking the sand. In case of inappropriate placement, the fluid can break down entirely using a non-damaging chemical breaker instead of using mechanical approaches that might damage the completion.
Early Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury: The Promise of Novel Biomarkers (2009)

The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) formerly referred to as acute renal failure (ARF) is increasing to epidemic proportions. Development of AKI portends excessive morbidity and mortality. AKI is associated with prolonged hospital stay, increased healthcare costs and high mortality especially in critically ill patients. The mortality rate has remained largely unchanged for many decades. Delay in the diagnosis of AKI using conventional biomarkers like urine output and serum creatinine has been one of the important obstacles in applying effective early interventions. Several new biomarkers are being evaluated in a quest for early diagnosis of AKI, among which neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) appears to be one of the most promising. This review summarizes the recent literature on these biomarkers.

Scaled FinFETs Connected by Using Both Wafer Sides for Routing via Buried Power Rails (2022)

We report on scaled finFETs with a novel routing scheme enabling connection via buried power rails (BPR) from both wafer sides, with tight variability/matching control. On the frontside (FS), contacting to p/n S/D-epi and BPR is done, after M0A and VBPR vias patterning, in a single metallization step with an optimized preclean reducing R <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ext</inf> while preserving a good BPR-VBPR contact interface. After wafer flipping, bonding and extreme thinning, highly scaled, ~323nm deep nano-through-Si-vias (nTSV) land on BPR, with tight overlay control and unchanged BPR resistance (26-29% lower with improved W-fill). By moving the power delivery network to the backside (BSPDN), besides alleviating routing congestion on the FS, considerably less dynamic and static IR drop values are predicted from on-chip power heat maps generated for a low power 64-bit CPU at 2nm design rules: 82% and 96% less (worst-case values) vs. a reference configuration, respectively.

An Event Algebra for Specifying and Scheduling Workflows (1995)

Heterogeneous systems arise when preexisting or legacy information systems are integrated in such a way as to preserve their autonomy and past applications. Workflows are the semantically appropriate units of activity in such environments. They involve a variety of tasks and are best represented by different extended transaction models or combinations thereof. We present an approach by which workflows can be efficiently scheduled. Our novel contribution is an event algebra in which dependencies characterizing workflows can be declaratively expressed. We show how to symbolically process these dependencies to determine which events can or must occur, and when. Our approach can represent dependencies compactly and reason with them efficiently. 1 Introduction The design and implementation of heterogeneous information systems poses special problems for task scheduling and management. Heterogeneous systems consist of a number of differently constructed applications and databases that must i...

The Type II Secretion System and Its Ubiquitous Lipoprotein Substrate, SslE, Are Required for Biofilm Formation and Virulence of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (2012)

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a major cause of diarrhea in infants in developing countries. We have identified a functional type II secretion system (T2SS) in EPEC that is homologous to the pathway responsible for the secretion of heat-labile enterotoxin by enterotoxigenic E. coli. The wild-type EPEC T2SS was able to secrete a heat-labile enterotoxin reporter, but an isogenic T2SS mutant could not. We showed that the major substrate of the T2SS in EPEC is SslE, an outer membrane lipoprotein (formerly known as YghJ), and that a functional T2SS is essential for biofilm formation by EPEC. T2SS and SslE mutants were arrested at the microcolony stage of biofilm formation, suggesting that the T2SS is involved in the development of mature biofilms and that SslE is a dominant effector of biofilm development. Moreover, the T2SS was required for virulence, as infection of rabbits with a rabbit-specific EPEC strain carrying a mutation in either the T2SS or SslE resulted in significantly reduced intestinal colonization and milder disease.
