ULTRACAM EAGLE, UNDERSTANDING THE NEW SENSOR (2012)

UltraCam is the name of the Microsoft/Vexcel camera family which was introduced into the market in May 2003 by the digital aerial camera product UltraCam D. This digital frame camera did show a very unique design and offered an image format of almost 90 MegaPixels. Since these 9 years the manufacturer of this camera was able to continuously develop and enhance the camera product, the software to operate the camera and to process images as well as the photogrammetric production software. In May 2011 the new flagship product, the UltraCam Eagle – a 260 MegaPixel digital aerial framing camera was presented. A completely new camera electronic, new lens systems and a CCD sensor array which was designed for this camera are the most important improvements of this new camera. After the first few months of operation we present our experience and results from photo missions and focus on the specific features of this camera. The innovation in software enables UltraCam users to streamline their production chain. This is supported by the new functions which are offered within the UltraMap software suite. The new DSM and Ortho image functionality is part of UltraMap V3.0, the upcoming version of Vexcel’s software product.

Deuterium anions in inertial electrostatic confinement devices (2009)

A magnetic deflection-energy analyzer and Faraday trap diagnostic have been used to make measurements of divergent deuterium anion flow in the inertial electrostatic confinement experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-IEC) [J. F. Santarius, G. L. Kulcinski, R. P. Ashley, D. R. Boris, B. B. Cipiti, S. K. Murali, G. R. Piefer, R. F. Radel, I. E. Radel, and A. L. Wehmeyer, Fusion Sci. Technol. 47, 1238 (2005)], a device to confine high-energy light ions in a spherically symmetric electrostatic potential well. Deuterium anion current densities as high as 8.5 microA/cm2 have been measured at the wall of the UW-IEC device, 40 cm from the surface of the device cathode with a detector assembly of admittance area 0.7 cm2. Energy spectra obtained using a magnetic deflection-energy analyzer diagnostic indicate the presence of D2(-), and D- ions produced through thermal electron attachment near the device cathode, as well as D- ions produced via charge-transfer processes between the anode and cathode of the device.
RNA Silencing Gene Truncation in the Filamentous Fungus Aspergillus nidulans (2007)

The genus Aspergillus is ideally suited for the investigation of RNA silencing evolution because it includes species that have experienced a variety of RNA silencing gene changes. Our work on this subject begins here with the model species Aspergillus nidulans. Filamentous ascomycete fungi generally each encode two of the core RNA silencing proteins, Dicer and Argonaute, but A. nidulans appears to have lost one of each to gene truncation events. Although a role in growth, development, or RNA silencing was not detected for the truncated genes, they do produce spliced and poly(A)-tailed transcripts, suggesting that they may have an undetermined biological function. Population analysis demonstrates that the truncated genes are fixed at the species level and that their full-length orthologs in a closely related species are also unstable. With these gene truncation events, A. nidulans encodes only a single intact Dicer and Argonaute. Their deletion results in morphologically and reproductively normal strains that are incapable of experimental RNA silencing. Thus, our results suggest that the remaining A. nidulans RNA silencing genes have a "nonhousekeeping" function, such as defense against viruses and transposons.
Effect of focused ultrasound on thin membranes within the eye (1979)

An experimental program, utilizing over 50 rabbits, evaluated the use of focused ultrasound to cause accelerated resorption of vitreous membranes. Membranes were formed in the vitreous of the anesthetized rabbit eye by injection of 0.1 ml of platelet-rich plasma. Membranes formed in the vitreous produced sequelae similar to those produced by membranes seen clinically. Membranes were insonified with multiple, 5-s duration exposures of focused ultrasound at 9.8 MHz. Insonified membranes resorbed at a significantly accelerated rate when compared to uninsonified membranes (controls and shams). Pulsed insonification at 10 Hz pulse repetition rate was found to be most effective. Careful positioning of the focused beam on the membrane enhanced effectiveness of low intensities and reduced unwanted effects on adjacent normal tissue structures. [Work supported by the NIH.]
Integrated Al2O3:Er3+ DFB Laser for Temperature Control Free Operation with Silicon Nitride Ring Filter (2014)

We demonstrate almost synchronized temperature dependent wavelength shift of Al2O3:Er3+ DFB laser (2.57 GHz/°C) and Si3N4 ring filter (2.47 GHz/°C), which makes it possible for on-chip transceiver operation without temperature control.
Role of q Profile for Plasma Confinement in the Multimirror Trap GOL-3 (2005)

Dense plasma heating by a relativistic electron beam and its confinement are studied in the multiple mirror trap GOL-3. Axial currents, which exist in the system, cause helical structure of the magnetic field. The safety factor q is shown to be below unity on the axis. Experimental data on the distribution and evolution of currents, structure of the magnetic field, and their influence on confinement and on MHD activity are discussed.
Biomimetic Polymer Brushes Containing Tethered Acetylcholine Analogs for Protein and Hippocampal Neuronal Cell Patterning (2013)

This paper describes a method to control neuronal cell adhesion and differentiation with both chemical and topographic cues by using a spatially defined polymer brush pattern. First, biomimetic methacrylate polymer brushes containing tethered neurotransmitter acetylcholine functionalities in the form of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate or free hydroxyl-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) units were prepared using the "grown from" method through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization reactions. The surface properties of the resulting brushes were thoroughly characterized with various techniques and hippocampal neuronal cell culture on the brush surfaces exhibit cell viability and differentiation comparable to, or even better than, those on commonly used poly-l-lysine coated glass coverslips. The polymer brushes were then patterned via UV photolithography techniques to provide specially designed surface features with different sizes (varying from 2 to 200 μm) and orientations (horizontal and vertical). Protein absorption experiments and hippocampal neuronal cell culture tests on the brush patterns showed that both protein and neurons can adhere to the patterns and therefore be guided by such patterns. These results also demonstrate that, because of their unique chemical composition and well-defined nature, the developed polymer brushes may find many potential applications in cell-material interactions studies and neural tissue engineering.
A novel inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt pathway based on the structure of inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (2010)

InsP(5) and 2-O-Bn-InsP(5) may represent lead compounds to develop novel inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt pathway (including potential dual PDK1/mTOR inhibitors) and novel potential anti-cancer drugs.
Podosomes of dendritic cells facilitate antigen sampling (2014)

Dendritic cells sample the environment for antigens and play an important role in establishing the link between innate and acquired immunity. Dendritic cells contain mechanosensitive adhesive structures called podosomes that consist of an actin-rich core surrounded by integrins, adaptor proteins and actin network filaments. They facilitate cell migration via localized degradation of extracellular matrix. Here, we show that podosomes of human dendritic cells locate to spots of low physical resistance in the substrate (soft spots) where they can evolve into protrusive structures. Pathogen recognition receptors locate to these protrusive structures where they can trigger localized antigen uptake, processing and presentation to activate T-cells. Our data demonstrate a novel role in antigen sampling for the podosomes of dendritic cells.
Verification Test Results of Wireless Charging System (2016)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) began a wireless charging field test in February 2014. A wireless charging system was installed at the residences of test subjects with the aim of identifying issues related to convenience and installation in daily usage. The test vehicle was fabricated by installing a wireless charging system into a Prius PHV (Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle). The installed system had the same charging power as the cable charging system used on the base vehicle, and had a charging time of 1.5 hours. A high-frequency 85 kHz power supply and primary coil were produced for the charging infrastructure. To identify differences in charging behavior, the test subjects were asked to use the cable charging system for the first month before changing to the wireless charging system for two months. Data acquisition was performed by an on-board data logger and through interviews with the test subjects. The surface of the parking space was also investigated to identify the effects of the road surface profile on the system specifications. This paper described the results of the test.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Image fusion of shortwave infrared (SWIR) and visible for detection of mines, obstacles, and camouflage (2003)

Over the last decade there has been study of separating ground objects from background using multispectral imagery in the reflective spectrum from 400-2500nm. In this paper we explore using two broadband spectral modalities; visible and ShortWave InfraRed (SWIR), for detection of minelike objects, obstacles and camouflage. Whereas multispectral imagery is sensed over multiple <i>narrowband</i> wavelengths, sensing over two <i>broadband </i>spectrums has the advantage of increased signal rsulting from integrated energy over larger spectrums. Preliminary results presented here show that very basic image fusion processing applied to visible and SWIR imagery produces reasonable illumination invariant segmentation of objects against background. This suggests the use of a simplified compact camera architecture using visible and SWIR sensing focal plane arrays for performing detection of mines and other important objects of interest.
Induction, Maintenance, and Sustainability of the Healing of Draining Fistulas in Patients with Crohnʼs Disease Treated with Adalimumab (2006)

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of adalimumab (ADA), a self-injectable, fully human monoclonal antibody that targets TNF, in the healing of draining fistulas in patients with active Crohn's disease (CD). Methods: In CHARM, a Phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the long-term maintenance of clinical remission and safety of ADA in patients with active moderate to severe CD (CDAI 220–450), all patients received open-label induction dosages of ADA, 80 mg at Wk 0 (BL) and 40 mg at Wk 2. At Wk 4, all patients were randomized to receive placebo (PBO) or ADA 40 mg sc, every other week (EOW) or weekly (W), through Week 56. Patients were assessed for fistula drainage at each study visit. Complete healing was defined as no draining with gentle compression of all fistulas present at BL. Patients with draining fistulas at both screening and BL visits were evaluated for healing at Wks 26 and 56 and at their last 2 blinded study visits. Based on a prespecified analysis plan, data from both ADA treatment arms were combined to obtain a more robust sample size and statistical power. Results: Clinical characteristics at BL were similar across treatment arms: age, 37 yrs; female, 62%; Caucasian, 93%; mean CDAI, 313; median CRP, 0.9 mg/dL; and immunosuppressant use, 47%. Of 854 patients enrolled, 778 were randomized at Wk 4. Of these, 499 were stratified as randomized responders (RR (CR70)). Results for patients with draining fistulas are shown, ADA EOW and W arms combined (table).Table: Complete Fistula Healing in CHARM: Patients With Draining Fistulas.Conclusions: In patients with active Crohn's disease, adalimumab therapy was significantly superior to placebo in maintaining complete fistula healing. In patients with fistula healing at Wk 26, healing was sustained at Wk 56.
Effects of Chloride Contamination on PEFCs (2013)

The performance and durability of PEFCs were investigated by introducing HCl and five different chloride salts into the air stream of an operating fuel cell. Under the same operating conditions and at a constant 28.5 mM chloride (Cl - ) concentration, cell performance degradation can be ranked as HCl&gt; AlCl 3 &gt; FeCl 3 &gt; CrCl 3 &gt; NiCl 2 , MgCl 2 . Water evaporation in the flow field surface was found to be causing precipitation of chloride salts. At lower RH, water content decreased and salt deposits completely blocked some of flow channels and caused death of the fuel cell. Moreover, contaminants crossed the GDL, reached the CCM surface, and caused significant performance drop.
Polyimide Composites from ‘Salt-Like’ Solution Precursors (2001)

Four NASA Langley-developed polyimide matrix resins, LaRC™-IA, LaRC™-IAX, LaRC™-8515 and LaRC™-PETI-5, were produced via a ‘salt-like’ process developed by Unitika Ltd. The salt-like solutions (65% solids in NMP) were prepregged onto Hexcel IM7 carbon fibre using the NASA LaRC™ multipurpose tape machine. Process parameters were determined and composite panels fabricated. The temperature dependent volatile depletion rates, the thermal crystallization behaviour and the resin rheology were characterized. Composite moulding cycles were developed which consistently yielded well consolidated, void-free laminated parts. Composite mechanical properties such as the short beam shear strength; the longitudinal and transverse flexural strength and flexural modulus; the longitudinal compression strength and modulus; and the open hole compression strength and compression after impact strength were measured at room temperature and elevated temperatures. The processing characteristics and the composite mechanical properties of the four intermediate modulus carbon fibre/polyimide matrix composites were compared to existing data on the same polyimide resin systems and IM7 carbon fibre manufactured via poly(amide acid) solutions (30–35% solids in NMP). This work studies the effects of varying the synthetic route on the processing and mechanical properties of the polyimide composites.
Thermal conductivity of La2−xSrxCuO4(0.05 x 0.22) (2004)

A systematic study of the thermal conductivity of single-crystal samples of the superconductive system and comparison with that of , 0.15 and 0.20) have demonstrated that this measurement is a useful indirect probe of mechanisms that suppress phonons. The data distinguish octahedral-site rotational or charge-order fluctuations above a structural order–disorder transition and two-phase fluctuations associated with locally cooperative atomic displacements within two-dimensional sheets that segregate hole-rich and hole-poor regions in a mixed-valent system. The former suppress phonons in both the basal plane and along the apical axis, whereas the latter only suppress phonons in the basal plane. The data support a spinodal phase segregation below room temperature into the parent and the superconductive phases in the underdoped compositional range as well as the superconductive and metallic phases in the overdoped compositions; they also support the existence of locally cooperative bond-length fluctuations in the normal state of the superconductive phase that prevent the formation of a percolative matrix capable of supporting phonons. Restoration of the phonons below Tc signals a long-range, dynamic ordering of the bond-length fluctuations which implies stabilization of a travelling charge-density wave with possible hybridization of electrons and phonons below Tc to give heavy vibrons that pair in the superconductive phase.
Activation energy of Mg in Al0.25Ga0.75N and Al0.5Ga0.5N (2009)

Abstract The Mg concentration dependence of the acceptor activation energy in Al 0.25 Ga 0.75 N and Al 0.5 Ga 0.5 N was investigated. Temperature‐dependent Hall effect measurements show that effective acceptor activation energy changes with a negative 1/3 power of Mg concentration, which means that the activation ratio increases with increasing Mg concentration. Similar to the case of GaN, however, overdoping of Mg causes serious compensation and a steep decrease of the hole concentration. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Cable characteristics and their influence on motor over-voltages (2002)

Overvoltage transients occur on AC induction motors when connected through a power cable of sufficient length to a variable speed AC drive consisting of a PWM inverter and IGBT power devices. Factors contributing to a motor overvoltage transient equal to twice the theoretical DC bus voltage are described using classical transmission line analysis. A critical cable distance (I/sub c/) is defined where twice the DC bus overvoltage occurs. However, literature is lacking on how motor transients greater than twice the DC bus voltage are generated. This phenomenon is observed on all PWM inverters with output cable lengths greater than the I/sub c/ distance. Theoretical calculations of cable frequency and damping are correlated with simulation and experimental results. Finally, the paper presents an external hardware apparatus (the Terminator), based on a cable's characteristic impedance, that clamps the motor's terminal voltage to levels far below twice the DC bus voltage. All calculations and proposed solutions are verified or demonstrated with experimental results.
The Influence of Smoking and Race on Adult Periodontitis and Serum IgG2 Levels (1998)

Smoking is a known risk factor for developing periodontal diseases, but the risk appears to be greater for white smokers than black smokers. Furthermore, it has been reported that young white subjects have significantly lower levels of serum IgG2 than their non-smoking counterparts while young black adult subjects are generally not affected by smoking. These relationships prompted the hypothesis that adult white subjects, including periodontitis subjects, who smoked would have more attachment loss than adult black subjects and that smoking would be associated with lower serum IgG2 levels in adult white subjects but not in adult black subjects. Smoking status was established from serum cotinine levels determined by radioimmunoassay. Serum IgG subclass levels were determined using radial immunodiffusion. White adult periodontitis (AP) and non-periodontitis (NP) subjects who smoked had greater mean attachment loss per site than their non-smoking counterparts. Furthermore, smoking white AP subjects and their age-matched NP controls had substantially less IgG2 in their serum. In marked contrast, we were unable to detect any increase in periodontal destruction or a significant decrease in serum IgG2 levels in smoking black AP subjects or their age-matched controls. However, IgG1 and IgG4 levels were reduced in smoking black AP subjects. IgG3 was the only subclass in adults that was unaffected by smoking. IgG2 can be a good opsonin and may help control periodontitis-associated bacteria in adults. Even though a cause-and-effect relationship has not been established, the association between a smoking-related decrease in serum IgG2 and an increase in periodontal destruction in white subjects is striking.

Assembly of Metal Nanoparticles into Nanogaps (2007)

The directed assembly of nanoparticles and nanoscale materials onto specific locations of a surface is one of the major challenges in nanotechnology. Here we present a simple and scalable method and model for the assembly of nanoparticles in between electrical leads. Gold nanoparticles, 20 nm in diameter, were assembled inside electrical gaps ranging from 15 to 150 nm with the use of positive ac dielectrophoresis. In this method, an alternating current is used to create a gradient of electrical field that attracts particles in between the two leads used to create the potential. Assembly is achieved when dielectrophoretic forces exceed thermal and electrostatic forces; the use of anchoring molecules, present in the gap, improves the final assembly stability. We demonstrate with both experiment and theory that nanoparticle assembly inside the gap is controlled by the applied voltage and the gap size. Experimental evidence and modeling suggest that a gap-size-dependent threshold voltage must be overcome before particle assembly is realized. Assembly results as a function of frequency and time are also presented. Assembly of fewer than 10 isolated particles in a gap is demonstrated. Preliminary electrical characterization reveals that stable conductance of the assembled particles can be achieved.
Optical filters in silicon-on-insulator: design considerations for devices based upon strip and rib waveguides (2006)

The transfer function of a photonic filter is significantly influenced by the profile of the waveguides forming the device. In this work we discuss requirements for devices based on two geometries, rib and wire shaped waveguides in Silicon-on-Insulator, from both the modal and polarisation standpoints. General guidelines and recommendations for the design of single-mode and polarisation-independent ring resonator filters with large Free Spectral Range (>30nm) are given, together with supportive experimental results.
1.1 W/mm high power GaAs/InGaP composite channel FET with asymmetrical LDD structure at 26 V operation (2003)

A GaAs/InGaP composite channel is proposed in order to improve the electron transport properties of an InGaP FET. Adopting an LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) structure and optimizing gate to drain spacing improved the breakdown characteristic and enabled high voltage operation of the FET. With this novel FET, we could achieve a high output power density of 1.1 W/mm at high voltage operation such as 26 V. The FET showed better distortion characteristics than the conventional GaAs MESFET. Third order inter modulation distortion (IM3) was improved by 7 dB.
