Rivascolarizzazione miocardica con arteria radiale: tecniche chirurgiche a confronto e risultati a breve termine (2015)

Coronary artery bypass grafting; Myocardial revascularization; Radial artery. Background. The radial artery is routinely used as a graft for surgical arterial myocardial revascu- larization. The proximal radial artery anastomosis site remains unknown. In this study, we analyzed the short-term results and the operative risk determinants after having used four different common techniques for radial artery implantation. Methods. From January 2000 to December 2004, 571 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with radial arteries. Data were analyzed for the entire population and for subgroups follow- ing the proximal radial artery anastomosis site: 140 T-graft with the mammary artery (group A), 316 free-grafts with the proximal anastomosis to the ascending aorta (group B), 55 mammary arteries in situ elongated with the radial artery (group C) and 60 radial arteries elongated with a piece of mam- mary artery and anastomosed to the ascending aorta (group D). Results. The mean age was 53.8 ± 7.7 years; 55.5% of patients had a previous myocardial infarc- tion and 73% presented with a satisfactory left ventricular function. A complete arterial myocardial revascularization was achieved in 532 cases (93.2%) and 90.2% of the procedures were performed un- der cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest. The operative mortality rate was 0.9%, a post- operative myocardial infarction was diagnosed in 19 patients (3.3%), an intra-aortic balloon pump was used in 10 patients (1.7%) and a mechanical circulatory device was implanted in 2 patients. The radial artery harvesting site remained always free from complications. The proximal radial artery anastomosis site was not a determinant of early hospital mortality. Group C showed a higher risk of postoperative myocardial infarction (p = 0.09), together with female gender (p = 0.003), hypertension (p = 0.059) and a longer cardiopulmonary bypass time. Conclusions. The radial artery and the mammary artery can guarantee multiple arterial revascu- larization also for patients with contraindications to double mammary artery use. The four most com- mon techniques for proximal radial artery anastomosis are not related to a higher operative risk and they can be used alternatively to reach the best surgical results.
Recent Development in Chemical Reaction Engineering Utilizing Light and Active Species. Effects of NO2 Gas on Gas-to-Particle Conversion of SO2 by .ALPHA.-Ray Radiolysis. (1999)

SO2/H2O/Air混合ガスのα線照射による粒子発生におよぼすNO2ガスの影響とその粒子生成機構を調べた.NO2を添加したとき, 粒子濃度は増加し, 新たに生成した粒子の85%以上は電荷を持っていた.この結果は, OHラジカルとNO2の反応によるHNO3の生成とそれに伴う粒子発生の抑制が起こっていないことを示した.HNO3が生成しているかどうかを調べるために, NO2/H2O/Air混合ガスにNH3を添加した実験を行った.NH3が無添加のとき粒子は全く発生せず, 添加により粒子が生成したが, これら粒子は全て電荷を持っていた.この結果より, NH3/NO2/H2O/Air混合ガスではHNO3とNH3が反応して生じるNH4NO3による均一核生成ではなく, イオン誘発核生成により粒子が発生することがわかった.以上の結果から, NO2/SO2/H2O/Air混合ガスのα線照射による粒子発生では, HNO3の生成は起こらず, 代わりにイオン-分子反応とそれに伴うイオン誘発核生成の関与が示唆された.
Reconstructed covalent organic frameworks (2022)

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are distinguished from other organic polymers by their crystallinity<sup>1-3</sup>, but it remains challenging to obtain robust, highly crystalline COFs because the framework-forming reactions are poorly reversible<sup>4,5</sup>. More reversible chemistry can improve crystallinity<sup>6-9</sup>, but this typically yields COFs with poor physicochemical stability and limited application scope<sup>5</sup>. Here we report a general and scalable protocol to prepare robust, highly crystalline imine COFs, based on an unexpected framework reconstruction. In contrast to standard approaches in which monomers are initially randomly aligned, our method involves the pre-organization of monomers using a reversible and removable covalent tether, followed by confined polymerization. This reconstruction route produces reconstructed COFs with greatly enhanced crystallinity and much higher porosity by means of a simple vacuum-free synthetic procedure. The increased crystallinity in the reconstructed COFs improves charge carrier transport, leading to sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates of up to 27.98 mmol h<sup>-1</sup> g<sup>-1</sup>. This nanoconfinement-assisted reconstruction strategy is a step towards programming function in organic materials through atomistic structural control.
Metal patterning using maskless vacuum evaporation process based on selective deposition of photochromic diarylethene (2008)

We developed an electrode/wiring patterning method that does not employ evaporation shadow masks; this method is based on selective metal deposition of photochromic diarylethene (DAE). In the selective Mg deposition based on the photoisomerization of DAE, Mg vapor atoms are deposited only on colored DAE film obtained upon UV irradiation, but not on uncolored film. We demonstrated fine metal Mg patterning with a minimum width of 3μm and the preparation of a patterned cathode. The selective metal deposition method has significant potential for preparing fine electrodes/wiring for various organic electronic devices.
Nicotine enemas for active ulcerative colitis—a pilot study (1997)

Topical nicotine therapy for ulcerative colitis may have a place in future management, but controlled studies are needed.
Coxibs and Cancer Prevention (2006)

Preventive medicine is becoming a cornerstone in our concept of health. This is especially significant in regard to cancer, as cancer is predicted to become the leading cause of death, surpassing heart disease, by the end of this decade. The prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) has become an important public health goal because of the high incidence of CRC, with more than 945,000 new cases expected worldwide in 2006, and the considerable mortality and morbidity associated, with more than 492,000 deaths expected worldwide in the same year. The past 2 decades have seen the emergence of chemopreventive agents that have 1 of 3 effects: inhibiting, delaying, or reversing carcinogenesis. Notwithstanding a substantial body of evidence suggesting an inverse relationship between aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use and CRC incidence and mortality, the use of traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the chemoprevention of CRC is limited by their gastrointestinal toxicity. The favorable gastrointestinal safety profile of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors has therefore made them particularly attractive for this purpose. There has been concern, however, that selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, possibly by reducing endothelial prostacyclin production while leaving platelet thromboxane A2 generation unopposed. In the intriguing jigsaw puzzle of cancer prevention, we now have a definite positive answer for the basic question "if," but several other parts of the equation (proper patient selection, ultimate drug, optimal dosage, and duration) are missing. The most challenging task is to find the proper place for these interventions in the entire effort of cancer prevention, in subjects at risk for colorectal neoplasia, and in those at risk for other tumors. The achievement of this important goal may contribute to the conversion of CRC into a truly preventable disease.
Breaching the kT/q limit with dopant segregated Schottky barrier resonant tunneling MOSFETs: A computationnal study (2010)

We study here, using non-equilibrium Green's function quantum simulations, the impact of dopant segregation (DS) on Schottky barrier (SB) nanoscale transistors for the implementation of ultimate CMOS with low series resistance and steep slope. Owing to their adequate multi-barrier structure, DS-SB transistor can present a gate modulated barrier resonant tunneling (MBRT) effect that allows them to breach the kT/q subthreshold slope limit of classical MOSFET, and therefore pave a way towards steep slope, low S/D resistance electronics. In order to reach their ultimate on-current performances however, new materials with lower SB height and/or means to implant and activate ultra high dopant segregation levels (in the order 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">21</sup> cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> ) will be needed, especially when considering that Schottky barrier height will be increased through quantum confinement.

A 5.3GHz 8T-SRAM with Operation Down to 0.41V in 65nm CMOS (2007)

A 32 kb subarray demonstrates practical implementation of a 65 nm node 8T-SRAM cell for variability tolerance in highspeed caches. Ideal cell stability allows single-supply operation down to 0.41 V at 295 MHz without dynamic voltage techniques. Despite a larger cell, array area is competitive with 6T-SRAM due to higher array efficiency. With an LSDL decoder, a gated diode sense amplifier, and design tradeoffs enabled by the 8 T cell, 5.3 GHz operation at 1.2 V is achieved.
Speaker compensation with sine-log all-pass transforms (2002)

In previous work, we proposed the rational all-pass transform (RAPT) as the basis of a speaker adaptation scheme intended for use with a large vocabulary speech recognition system. It was shown that RAPT-based adaptation reduces to a linear transformation of cepstral means, much like the better known maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR). In a set of speech recognition experiments conducted on the Switchboard Corpus, we obtained a word error rate (WER) of 37.9% using RAPT adaptation, a significant improvement over the 39.5% WER achieved with MLLR. In the present work, we propose the sine-log all-pass transform (SLAPT) as a replacement for the RAPT. Our findings indicate the SLAPT is just as effective as the RAPT at reducing WER when used as the basis for a variety of speaker compensation schemes, but in addition conduces to far more tractable computation of transformed cepstral sequences, and the estimation of optimal transform parameters.
A Dual-Differential Subtractor-Based Auto-Nulling Signal Conditioning Circuit for Wide-Range Resistive Sensors (2019)

Analog signal conditioning circuit based on dual differential subtractor for wide range resistive measurement of single element resistive sensor is presented in this paper. The differential output from the sensor and a voltage-controlled reference resistor is followed by an auto-nulling technique, which helps to achieve high accuracy and wide dynamic range by generating a control voltage proportional to the sensor resistance. The presented automatic approach not only enhances the auto-nulling range but also ensures constant sensitivity. The interface design provides high accuracy, fast and linear response at the same time avoids drawbacks of lead wire variations. A prototype PCB of the proposed circuit is fabricated and tested. The experimental result shows that the circuit can measure a wide range of resistance (20 kQ - 1.1 MQ) with relative error less than 0.78%, compared to other bridge-based circuits which are capable of measuring the maximum resistance of up-to 10 kQ for the same accuracy. Multiple variations of the proposed circuit are designed and experimentally tested for verifying the tunability of the circuit in terms of the sensitivity and the range of resistance measurement. The prototype circuit is also interfaced with an in-house fabricated MEMS-based ammonia sensor, proving its efficacy in resistive sensor system development.

Millimeter-wave wireless beam-steering using patch-antennas with meandering-gaps on electro-optical modulator (2015)

A new scheme for millimeter-wave wireless beam-steering using NxN patch-antennas with meandering-gaps on an electro-optic (EO) modulator is proposed for high-speed radio-over-fiber systems. The wireless receiving beam can be steered by controlling interaction between millimeter-wave and lightwave electric fields in EO modulation using meandering-gaps. Analysis and experimental demonstration of the proposed device for 40GHz millimeter-wave bands are reported. A 5×5 antenna array is designed for ±30 degrees wireless steerable beams. 5 and 25 variations of wireless beam-steering can be obtained for 1-D in xz-or yz-planes and 2-D in xyz-space, respectively.
Perception-Aware Chance-Constrained Model Predictive Control for Uncertain Environments (2021)

We consider a known system that operates in an unknown environment, which is discovered by sensing and affects the known system through constraints. However, sensing quality is typically dependent on system operation. Thus, the control decisions should account for both the impact of control on sensing and the impact of sensing on control. Since the information acquired from sensing is of statistical nature, we develop a perception-aware chance-constrained model predictive control (PAC-MPC) strategy that leverages uncertainty propagation models to relate control and sensing decisions to the environment knowledge. We propose conditions for recursive feasibility and provide an overview of the stability properties in such a statistical framework. The performance of the proposed PAC-MPC is demonstrated on a case study inspired by an automated driving application.
Connective Tissue Activating Macromolecules in Macrophage Culture Medium (1981)

Fractions isolated by isoelectric focusing (pI values 4.6-5.3) from macrophage culture media stimulated fibroblast proliferation in vitro and increased the synthesis of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs). Cationic fractions from macrophage culture media isolated by the same procedure (pI 10.2-10.4) enhanced secretion of collagen by fibroblasts. Two dimensional electrophoresis of non-fractionated 3H-lysine labeled macrophage media only showed incorporation of label into acidic proteins. The fractions from the pI area which increased DNA and GAG synthesis by fibroblast cultures contained three major labeled proteins with molecular weights of 15 K, 25 K and 135 K.

Resistivity and Hall effect in sputtered NiZr metallic glasses (1988)

Films of Ni1−xZrx metallic glasses have been prepared by sputter deposition over the composition range 0.1&amp;lt;x&amp;lt;0.86. In this paper we present data on the composition and temperature dependencies of the resistivity and the Hall coefficient from 77 to 300 K. Where applicable, both the resistivity and the Hall coefficient closely follow the values reported for melt-spun glasses of the same composition. The Hall coefficient changes sign from positive to negative with decreasing x; for x&amp;lt;0.4 it also becomes increasingly temperature dependent (dRH/dT&amp;gt;0). Both the change in sign and the temperature dependence can be understood within the framework of an important extraordinary contribution to the Hall coefficient for these paramagnetic alloys.

Diagnostic performance enhancement of pancreatic cancer using proteomic multimarker panel (2017)

Due to its high mortality rate and asymptomatic nature, early detection rates of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain poor. We measured 1000 biomarker candidates in 134 clinical plasma samples by multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (MRM-MS). Differentially abundant proteins were assembled into a multimarker panel from a training set (n=684) and validated in independent set (n=318) from five centers. The level of panel proteins was also confirmed by immunoassays. The panel including leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG1), transthyretin (TTR), and CA19-9 had a sensitivity of 82.5% and a specificity of 92.1%. The triple-marker panel exceeded the diagnostic performance of CA19-9 by more than 10% (AUC<sub>CA19-9</sub> = 0.826, AUC<sub>panel</sub>= 0.931, P < 0.01) in all PDAC samples and by more than 30% (AUC<sub>CA19-9</sub> = 0.520, AUC<sub>panel</sub> = 0.830, P < 0.001) in patients with normal range of CA19-9 (<37U/mL). Further, it differentiated PDAC from benign pancreatic disease (AUC<sub>CA19-9</sub> = 0.812, AUC<sub>panel</sub> = 0.892, P < 0.01) and other cancers (AUC<sub>CA19-9</sub> = 0.796, AUC<sub>panel</sub> = 0.899, P < 0.001). Overall, the multimarker panel that we have developed and validated in large-scale samples by MRM-MS and immunoassay has clinical applicability in the early detection of PDAC.
Datalog-based scalable semantic diffing of concurrent programs (2018)

When an evolving program is modified to address issues related to thread synchronization, there is a need to confirm the change is correct, i.e., it does not introduce unexpected behavior. However, manually comparing two programs to identify the semantic difference is labor intensive and error prone, whereas techniques based on model checking are computationally expensive. To fill the gap, we develop a fast and approximate static analysis for computing synchronization differences of two programs. The method is fast because, instead of relying on heavy-weight model checking techniques, it leverages a polynomial-time Datalog-based program analysis framework to compute differentiating data-flow edges, i.e., edges allowed by one program but not the other. Although approximation is used our method is sufficiently accurate due to careful design of the Datalog inference rules and iterative increase of the required data-flow edges for representing a difference. We have implemented our method and evaluated it on a large number of multithreaded C programs to confirm its ability to produce, often within seconds, the same differences obtained by human; in contrast, prior techniques based on model checking take minutes or even hours and thus can be 10x to 1000x slower.
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy lowers the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease in bladder cancer patients (2019)

Bladder cancer patients treated with BCG were significantly less likely to develop AD at any age than patients who were not so treated. This finding of a retrospective study suggests that BCG treatment might also reduce the incidence of AD in the general population. Confirmation of such effects of BCG in other retrospective studies would support prospective studies of BCG in AD.

User Model-Based Intent-Aware Metrics for Multilingual Search Evaluation (2016)

Despite the growing importance of multilingual aspect of web search, no appropriate offline metrics to evaluate its quality are proposed so far. At the same time, personal language preferences can be regarded as intents of a query. This approach translates the multilingual search problem into a particular task of search diversification. Furthermore, the standard intent-aware approach could be adopted to build a diversified metric for multilingual search on the basis of a classical IR metric such as ERR. The intent-aware approach estimates user satisfaction under a user behavior model. We show however that the underlying user behavior models is not realistic in the multilingual case, and the produced intent-aware metric do not appropriately estimate the user satisfaction. We develop a novel approach to build intent-aware user behavior models, which overcome these limitations and convert to quality metrics that better correlate with standard online metrics of user satisfaction.
