Wireless temperature and vibration sensor for real-time bearing condition monitoring (2013)

This article presents a unique sensor capable of simultaneously measuring the bearing cage temperature and vibration signature using inductive coupling. The temperature sensing is based on thermal-induced shift in resonant frequency of an inductive coil and a temperature-sensitive capacitor mounted on a bearing cage. This shift is detected remotely by placing an interrogator coil in close proximity to the sensor coil and the bearing cage. Bearing cage vibrations, result in change in the coupling factor between the sensor and interrogator coils along the bearing's axial direction. This leads to amplitude modulation of excitation frequency by a signal proportional to bearing cage vibration. In this article the authors present bearing cage temperature measurements from 20°C to 90°C for Timken MMC9112K at 1280 rpm to 3250 rpm. The corresponding vibration frequencies at each speed are measured and compared with theoretical values calculated using standard bearing frequency equations. A good agreement between measurement and theory is observed for various vibration components such as ball spin, fundamental train and ball pass-outer race frequencies with average variation of 2.8%.

Optical fiber capacity at its limits: From spectrally efficient modulation to spatial multiplexing (2011)

We will discuss the state-of-the-art in high-spectral-efficiency optical transmission systems as well as their theoretical and practical scalability limits. We will then examine spatial multiplexing as an energy- and cost-efficient method to scale beyond WDM.
Climatic influence on mesophilic Bacillus cereus and psychrotolerant Bacillus weihenstephanensis populations in tropical, temperate and alpine soil (1999)

Bacillus weihenstephanensis strains are psychrotolerant and grow from below 7 degrees C to 38 degrees C. Closely related mesophilic Bacillus cereus strains can grow from above 7 degrees C to 46 degrees C. We classified 1060 B. cereus group isolates from different soil samples with respect to their psychrotolerant and mesophilic genotypes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting of specific 16S rDNA and cold shock protein A gene signatures. In parallel, growth tests at 7 degrees C were carried out to determine the thermal phenotype. The geographic distribution of psychrotolerant and mesophilic isolates was found to depend significantly on the prevalent annual average temperature. In one tropical, one temperate and two alpine habitats, the proportion of psychrotolerant cspA genotypes was found to be 0%, 45% and 86% and 98%, respectively, with the corresponding annual average temperatures being 28 degrees C, 7 degrees C, 4 degrees C and 1 degrees C. In the tropical habitat, only the mesophilic B. cereus was found, characterized by correspondence of thermal genotype and phenotype. In the alpine habitat, almost only the psychrotolerant B. weihenstephanensis was isolated. In the temperate habitat, mesophilic B. cereus and psychrotolerant B. weihenstephanensis as well as 'intermediate thermal types' occurred, the latter having opposite thermal genotypes and phenotypes or opposing sets of thermal DNA signatures, characterized by the coexistence of mesophilic and psychrotolerant 16S rDNA operon copies within a single isolate. Both sugar utilization and DNA fingerprinting patterns revealed a high, probably non-clonal microsite diversity within the population of the temperate habitat. We interpret our observations in terms of a temperature-dependent selection regime, acting on recombining B. cereus/ B. weihenstephanensis populations in soil.
Human Action Recognition in Unconstrained Videos by Explicit Motion Modeling (2015)

Human action recognition in unconstrained videos is a challenging problem with many applications. Most state-of-the-art approaches adopted the well-known bag-of-features representations, generated based on isolated local patches or patch trajectories, where motion patterns, such as object-object and object-background relationships are mostly discarded. In this paper, we propose a simple representation aiming at modeling these motion relationships. We adopt global and local reference points to explicitly characterize motion information, so that the final representation is more robust to camera movements, which widely exist in unconstrained videos. Our approach operates on the top of visual codewords generated on dense local patch trajectories, and therefore, does not require foreground-background separation, which is normally a critical and difficult step in modeling object relationships. Through an extensive set of experimental evaluations, we show that the proposed representation produces a very competitive performance on several challenging benchmark data sets. Further combining it with the standard bag-of-features or Fisher vector representations can lead to substantial improvements.
Shubnikov–de Haas Oscillations of High-Mobility Holes in Monolayer and BilayerWSe2: Landau Level Degeneracy, Effective Mass, and Negative Compressibility (2016)

We study the magnetotransport properties of high-mobility holes in monolayer and bilayer WSe_{2}, which display well defined Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations, and quantum Hall states in high magnetic fields. In both mono- and bilayer WSe_{2}, the SdH oscillations and the quantum Hall states occur predominantly at even filling factors, evincing a twofold Landau level degeneracy. The Fourier transform analysis of the SdH oscillations in bilayer WSe_{2} reveals the presence of two subbands localized in the top or the bottom layer, as well as negative compressibility. From the temperature dependence of the SdH oscillations we determine a hole effective mass of 0.45m_{0} for both mono- and bilayer WSe_{2}.
Development and testing of radiation and electromagnetic pulse hardened silicon carbide based electronics (1990)

Abstract : There were three primary objectives. The first was the reverse avalanche testing of diodes exhibiting (a) microplasma dominated breakdown, (b) a combination of microplasma and bulk avalanche breakdown and (c) bulk avalanche breakdown only. These glass encapsulated devices were tested at approximately 1 us, approximately 10 us and 100 us pulses. The second objective was to fabricate and characterize Shockley diodes in chip form showing proper breakdown in forward and reverse bias and a forward bias turn-on of approximately 2.6 V. The third objective was to fabricate and characterize 6H-SiC JFET structures in chip form. Keywords: Avalanche diodes; Junction diodes; Field effect transistors.
Variable-bit-rate, continuously-controllable optical TDM using SBS-based slow light tunable delay line (2007)

We experimentally demonstrate continuously-tunable OTDM using SBS-based slow-light. Two 75-ps misaligned 2.5-Gb/s RZ channels are successfully multiplexed, resulting in 9-dB power-penalty reduction. Variable-bit-rate OTDM is demonstrated at three different bit-rates, all with error-free operation. (2 pages)
Growth of a NdBaCuO Superconducting Thin Film on a MgO Substrate by Mist Microwave-Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition Using a CeO2 Buffer Layer (1998)

A NdBaCuO superconducting thin film was grown by mist microwave-plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) using a CeO 2 buffer layer on a MgO(001) substrate. After the CeO 2 buffer layer was deposited on the MgO(001) substrate at 1173 K by MPCVD, a NdBaCuO film was grown at 1223 K. The T c-zero (zero resistance) value of the NdBaCuO film with the CeO 2 buffer layer was 90.1 K, and it was about 10 K higher than that without the CeO 2 buffer layer. The surface roughness of the NdBaCuO film was less than 5 nm.
<title>Issues associated with the commercialization of phase-shift masks</title> (1992)

Issues associated with the commercialization of phase shift masks are discussed. Design layouts incorporating multiphase transitions and voting are presented along with methods of mask fabrication. Issues associated with mask inspection and repair are discussed, along with data on actual reticles produced using the prescribed method of manufacture. Cost of reticles in relation to potential wafer processing gains are compared along with problems associated with the increased complexity of the mask making process.
Search for the Dimuon Decay of the Higgs Boson in pp Collisions at s=13  TeV with the ATLAS Detector (2017)

A search for the dimuon decay of the Higgs boson was performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb^{-1} collected with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess is observed above the expected background. The observed (expected) upper limit on the cross section times branching ratio is 3.0 (3.1) times the Standard Model prediction at the 95% confidence level for a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV. When combined with the pp collision data at sqrt[s]=7 TeV and sqrt[s]=8 TeV, the observed (expected) upper limit is 2.8 (2.9) times the Standard Model prediction.
Model description in the INSYDE, simulator for evaluating large-scale computer system performance (2005)

The INSYDE simulation tool was developed for use in the performance evaluation of large, complex computer systems. This simulator is an interactive graphical type tool in which model data is input in the form of diagrams and tables, and the results are also output in the form of diagrams and tables. This paper focuses on the method used by INSYDE to achieve highly powerful model description, an important issue with respect to practical use. The practicality of INSYDE is demonstrated by applying it in the evaluation of a number of complex, large-scale systems that are in the design stage.
Suboptimal reporting of adverse medical events to the FDA Adverse Events Reporting System by nurse practitioners and physician assistants (2012)

The study suggests that improved education regarding the importance of using AERS for pharmacovigilance is suggested for NPs and PAs. Due to the small size of the study, these data should be viewed as preliminary, pending a larger confirmatory study.
Organic Chemistry in Drug Discovery (2004)

The role played by organic chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry continues to be one of the main drivers in the drug discovery process. However, the precise nature of that role is undergoing a visible change, not only because of the new synthetic methods and technologies now available to the synthetic and medicinal chemist, but also in several key areas, particularly in drug metabolism and chemical toxicology, as chemists deal with the ever more rapid turnaround of testing data that influences their day-to-day decisions.
Barrier Properties of Electroless Ni-B UBM for Solder Joining (2015)

As demands accelerate for high density, high speed transmission and low power integrated circuits, 3D-ICs with through-silicon via (TSV) is pursued. In the structure of 3D-ICs, the first die is attached to the second die with micro bump, and the second die is attached to the circuit substrate with a C4 solder bump. The electrode structure of the second die is Cu/Ni UBM. The stress of the Ni-B layer is less than that of the Ni-P layer, and the Ni-B layer can suppress stress and die warpage. The purposes of our study are to clarify the difference in the barrier properties of the Ni-B UBM and Ni-P under bump metal (UBM) and the relevance of the barrier properties of Ni UBM and intermetallic compound (IMC) growth. It was found that an electroless Ni-B plating layer is superior to a Ni-P plating layer for UBM in liquid phase diffusion and in solid phase diffusion, and that a segregated B layer is formed under the IMC layer of a Ni-B land due to reflow soldering. It was estimated that this B layer plays the role of being a barrier layer for solder diffusion.
Appendix. Purification, molecular weight, and NH2-terminal sequence of cystathionine gamma-synthase of Escherichia coli. (1983)

The cystathionine gamma-synthase of Escherichia coli has been purified to homogeneity. It is a tetramer (Mr = 160,000) composed of identical subunits (Mr approximately 40,000). We have determined its amino acid terminal sequence and thus localized the starting codon of the metB structural gene.
Rising Sound Intensity: An Intrinsic Warning Cue Activating the Amygdala (2007)

Human subjects overestimate the change of rising intensity sounds compared with falling intensity sounds. Rising sound intensity has therefore been proposed to be an intrinsic warning cue. In order to test this hypothesis, we presented rising, falling, and constant intensity sounds to healthy humans and gathered psychophysiological and behavioral responses. Brain activity was measured using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging. We found that rising compared with falling sound intensity facilitates autonomic orienting reflex and phasic alertness to auditory targets. Rising intensity sounds produced neural activity in the amygdala, which was accompanied by activity in intraparietal sulcus, superior temporal sulcus, and temporal plane. Our results indicate that rising sound intensity is an elementary warning cue eliciting adaptive responses by recruiting attentional and physiological resources. Regions involved in cross-modal integration were activated by rising sound intensity, while the right-hemisphere phasic alertness network could not be supported by this study.
SP407INVESTIGATION OF FACTORS AFFECTING LOSS OF WALKING ABILITY IN DIALYSIS PATIENTS BY A FOUR YEAR LONGITUDINAL STUDY (2018)

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Optimal phosphate control is still an unmet need in chronic kidney disease (CKD). High serum phosphate increases calcification burden and is associated with mortality and cardiovascular disease in CKD. METHODS: We therefore studied nicotinamide and magnesium carbonate (MC) as phosphate modulators/-binder in a mouse model of CKD and in in vitro cell culture of human vascular smooth muscle cells and murine Gli1 progenitor cells. DBA/2 mice underwent 5/6 nephrectomy and were treated for 7 weeks with nicotinamide, magnesium carbonate or a combination of both. In vitro, calcifying cells were treated in the same way. RESULTS: Nephrectomy alone increased s-urea, s-creatinine, s-FGF23, fractional phosphate excretion and decreased GFR, as expected. MC treatment alone lead to decreased soft tissue calcification in this mouse model, while it induced upregulation of the intestinal phosphate transporter proteins NaPi-IIb and Pit-1. Monotherapy with nicotinamide alone also increased calcium content of various tissues. However, our data indicated that the combined therapy of nicotinamide with MC might be beneficial, as nicotinamide treatment was able to ameliorate the MC induced increased expression of intestinal phosphate transporter proteins and thus reduced calcification burden. All treatments reduced s-FGF23. In vitro, increased alkaline phosphatase activity, as readout of cell-calcification intensity, showed similar trends compared to in vivo calcium accumulation. Interestingly, in Gli1 progenitors, increased alkaline phosphatase activity was decreased by 2PY, the main metabolite of nicotinamide, during calcification. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that magnesium carbonate reduces calcification in a DBA/2 mouse CKD model but upregulates intestinal phosphate transporters. This upregulation can be blocked by add-on therapy with nicotinamide.

Controversies Surrounding Renal Denervation: Lessons Learned From Real‐World Experience in Two United Kingdom Centers (2016)

Renal denervation (RDN) is a therapy that targets treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH). The Renal Denervation in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension (Symplicity) HTN-1 and Symplicity HTN-2 trials reported response rates of >80%; however, sham-controlled Symplicity HTN-3 failed to reach its primary blood pressure (BP) outcome. The authors address the current controversies surrounding RDN, illustrated with real-world data from two centers in the United Kingdom. In this cohort, 52% of patients responded to RDN, with a 13±32 mm Hg reduction in office systolic BP (SBP) at 6 months (n=29, P=.03). Baseline office SBP and number of ablations correlated with office SBP reduction (R=-0.47, P=.01; R=-0.56, P=.002). RDN appears to be an effective treatment for some patients with TRH; however, individual responses are highly variable. Selecting patients for RDN is challenging, with only 10% (33 of 321) of the screened patients eligible for the study. Medication alterations and nonadherence confound outcomes. Adequate ablation is critical and should impact future catheter design/training. Markers of procedural success and improved patient selection parameters remain key research aims.
Production of JP-8-Based Hydrogen and Advanced Tactical Fuels for the U.S. Military (2009)

Abstract : The EERC conducted R&D for ERDC-CERL/ONR under Contract W9132T-08-2-0014 to develop fuel cell hydrogen/hydrocarbon fuel technologies to power vehicles and auxiliary power and stationary systems. In Task 1, a high-pressure (HP) water-reforming process was modified to improve heat transfer to a catalyst bed for converting methane, methanol, ethanol, and sulfur-free jet fuel to H2. HP condensation effectively removed water. Physical absorption effectively captured non-H2 gases, resulting in a HP (6000 psi) gas stream containing 96% H2 when reforming methanol. HP-compatible ESA/electrochemical processes were developed/optimized for HP H2 purification. Testing of an electrically conductive high-surface-density monolithic adsorber from activated carbon at 800 psig showed no excessive heating and an acceptable purification level.
Silicon Micromixers with Infrared Detection for Studies of Liquid-Phase Reactions (2004)

We present an integrated microchemical system that combines micromixing, a reaction channel, an IR detection region, and temperature control for monitoring and kinetic studies of liquid-phase reactions. The microdevices exploit the transparency of silicon to infrared radiation in most of the wavelength region of interest (4000−800 cm-1), the precise definition of microfluidic channels by deep reactive ion-etching, the high thermal conductivity of silicon, and the fusion bonding of silicon for fixed-path-length transmission cells. Two devices are considered, a simple T-shaped mixer and an efficient mixer with interleaving channels for rapid mixing. The first device is used to characterize IR transmission characteristics in silicon-based microreactors and to demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring exothermic reactions, the hydrolysis of propionyl chloride under isothermal conditions. The mixing characteristics of the second microreactor are evaluated experimentally by an acid−base reaction and predicted by computational fluid dynamics simulations. Typical mixing times are 25 ms. The alkaline hydrolysis of methyl formate, a reaction following second-order kinetics with a half-life of 70 ms, exemplifies the use of the microreactor in determining rate constants. The results demonstrate the main advantages of the integrated microchemical systems in reaction monitoring: faster mixing times, temperature control, in situ detection, and elimination of sample postprocessing.
Privacy-Preserving Publication of Deep Neural Networks (2016)

An organization that has a lot of personal data can create a deep neural network (DNN), which predicts sensitive attribute values such as the salary and diseases of people based on other attribute values such as age and hobbies. Moreover, by putting this data on the Cloud and providing the functionality of the DNN to other organizations, they can obtain new knowledge and can subsequently create new services. However, because such DNNs are generated from sensitive attribute values, we cannot share them freely without the explicit consent of the persons whose data are used for the DNNs. On the other hand, in recent years, e-differential privacy has emerged as the de facto privacy metric. Many researchers use e-differential privacy for privacy-preserving data mining such as correlation analysis and association rule analysis. In this paper, we modify e-differential privacy for machine learning, and we propose three approaches for creating privacy-preserved DNNs based on the modified e-differential privacy. Our proposed approaches are experimentally evaluated using a real data set, and we show that our approaches can protect personal attribute values while maintaining the accuracy of the DNNs.
Stress protein expression in domestic activated sludge in response to xenobiotic shock loading (2001)

Using the Western blot immunochemical analysis method, the heat shock protein, GroEL, was found to be either induced or repressed in activated sludge microorganisms exposed to a range of xenobiotics. At the EC25 concentration, pentachlorophenol (PCP), cadmium, nickel, 2,4-dichloroaniline, benzoquinone, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and 1,1,1-trichloroethane all rapidly induced measurable GroEL expression, even though the time-dependent response for each of these compounds was somewhat varied. Toluene and hydroquinone resulted in repression of GroEL expression to levels below that measured in the control mixed liquor. For PCP concentrations at or exceeding the EC25, there was a significant and consistent increase in effluent volatile suspended solids from activated sludge sequencing batch reactors relative to unstressed controls. These preliminary results indicate that stress proteins may serve as sensitive and rapid indicators of toxicity which can adversely impact treatment process performance in activated sludge systems.
