Harmonizing Functional Connectivity Reduces Scanner Effects in Community Detection (2021)

Abstract Community detection on graphs constructed from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has led to important insights into brain functional organization. Large studies of brain community structure often include images acquired on multiple scanners across different studies. Differences in scanner can introduce variability into the downstream results, and these differences are often referred to as scanner effects. Such effects have been previously shown to significantly impact common network metrics. In this study, we identify scanner effects in data-driven community detection results and related network metrics. We assess a commonly employed harmonization method and propose new methodology for harmonizing functional connectivity that leverage existing knowledge about network structure as well as patterns of covariance in the data. Finally, we demonstrate that our new methods reduce scanner effects in community structure and network metrics. Our results highlight scanner effects in studies of brain functional organization and provide additional tools to address these unwanted effects. These findings and methods can be incorporated into future functional connectivity studies, potentially preventing spurious findings and improving reliability of results.
Waste heat recovery hybrid power drive (2023)

A waste heat recovery (WHR) hybrid power system can be utilized in vehicles to convert heat energy into mechanical energy. The WHR system can include a WHR power unit structured to convert thermal energy into rotation of a WHR drive shaft. A motor/generator having a motor/generator shaft can selectively operate as a motor or a generator. A mechanical linkage can be structured to selectively link a output shaft to one of the WHR drive shaft and the motor/generator drive shaft independently of the other of the WHR drive shaft and the motor/generator drive shaft.
Chelated Bisphosphites with a Calix[4]arene Backbone: New Ligands for Rhodium-Catalyzed Low-Pressure Hydroformylation with Controlled Regioselectivity (1999)

Extremely high regioselectivities were achieved in the rhodium-catalyzed low-pressure hydroformylation of 1-octene to n-nonanal with chelate bisphosphites that contain a p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene backbone (shown in the picture). It was possible to tailor the structures and ultimately the catalytic properties of these complexes using molecular modeling calculations.
Array Size Computation under Uniform Overlapping and Irregular Accesses (2016)

The size required to store an array is crucial for an embedded system, as it affects the memory size, the energy per memory access, and the overall system cost. Existing techniques for finding the minimum number of resources required to store an array are less efficient for codes with large loops and not regularly occurring memory accesses. They have to approximate the accessed parts of the array leading to overestimation of the required resources. Otherwise, their exploration time is increased with an increase over the number of the different accessed parts of the array. We propose a methodology to compute the minimum resources required for storing an array which keeps the exploration time low and provides a near-optimal result for regularly and non-regularly occurring memory accesses and overlapping writes and reads.
Optimized design, growth, and operation of frequency-stabilised GaN laser diodes and GaN tapered amplifiers at 461 nm (Conference Presentation) (2019)

consumption and financial burden of the multiple light sources required for such systems. The AlGaInN material system allows for single transverse mode laser diodes to be fabricated with optical powers up to 100 mW over a wide range from ~380 nm up to ~530 nm. By tuning the indium content and thickness of the GaInN quantum well, we have developed a range of AlGaInN diode-lasers targeted to meet the wavelength and power requirements suitable for optical clocks and atom interferometry systems. One of the major limiting factors in nitride laser diode development has been the lack of a suitable low defectivity and uniform GaN substrate. Recently, single crystal growth of large area, very low dislocation-density and uniform GaN substrates are grown using a combination of high temperature and high pressure enabling a range of AlGaInN laser technology to be developed. This direct light generation at the required wavelength is crucial to reduce complexity and size of the overall system, and to ensure a high wall-plug efficiency that is critical for space and mobile applications. We will present our development of GaN based, low SWaP, frequency-stabilised external-cavity seed and tapered amplifiers to operate at 461nm for first stage strontium cooling. This includes growth of custom optimised GaN epitaxy for operation at 461 nm, a robust ECDL geometry, a novel tapered amplifier design and important work in characterising the optical performance and minimising surface reflectivity to identify suitable working parameters.

Cell Programmed Nutrient Partitioning in the Tumor Microenvironment (2020)

The tumor microenvironment (TME) includes transformed cancer and infiltrating immune cells 1,2 . Cancer cells can consume large quantities of glucose through Warburg metabolism 3,4 that can be visualized with positron emission tomography (PET). While infiltrating immune cells also rely on glucose, disruptions to metabolism can contribute to tumor immunological evasion 5–9 . How immune cell metabolism is programmed or restrained by competition with cancer cells for nutrients, remains uncertain. Here we used PET tracers to measure the accessibility of glucose and glutamine to cell subsets in the TME. Surprisingly, myeloid cells including macrophages were the greatest consumers of intra-tumoral glucose, followed by T cells and cancer cells. Cancer cells, in contrast, had the highest glutamine uptake. This distinct nutrient partitioning was programmed through selective mTORC1 signaling and glucose or glutamine-related gene expression. Inhibition of glutamine uptake enhanced glucose uptake across tumor resident cell types and shifted macrophage phenotype, demonstrating glucose is not limiting in the TME. Thus, cancer cells are not the only cells in tumors which exhibit high glucose uptake in vivo and instead preferentially utilize glutamine over other cell types. We observe that intrinsic cellular programs can play a major role in the use of some nutrients. Together, these data argue cell selective partitioning of glucose and glutamine can be exploited to develop therapies and imaging strategies to alter the metabolic programs of specific cell populations in the TME.
Heavy-Fermion Behavior and Electrochemistry of Li1.27Mn1.73O4 (2009)

The spinel of nominal composition Li4Mn5O12 has been prepared by the wet chemistry technique and characterized by structural analysis (X-ray diffractometry, Raman spectroscopy), magnetic properties including electron spin resonance (ESR), and thermal properties (specific heat). Both structural and magnetic analyses reveal that the physical and electrochemical properties are importantly influenced by the presence of Li2MnO3 impurity phase. The presence of this additional phase reduces the average oxidation state of manganese according to a disproportionation reaction so that the final composition of the spinel phase is Li3.8Mn5.2O12 (or Li1.27Mn1.73O4). Because of the important geometric frustration of the magnetic interactions and dilution of the antiferromagnetic interactions, no magnetic ordering is observed in the temperature range investigated. The anomalous magnetic properties, including the Dysonian profile of the ESR line, show that the material is metallic. The Sommerfeld constant is 308 mJ/(K2) per mole of Li1.27Mn1.73O4, which shows that this material belongs to the class of heavy-fermion systems like LiV2O4 or LiTi2O4. These heavy fermions are the minority-spin tg↓ electrons of Mn3+ ions that have an reduced effective masse m/m0 = 467. The electrochemical properties show that the specific capacity of Li3.8Mn5.2O12 at charge rate 1C is 163 mA h/g, a large value that is possibility due to the to insert Li up to the composition Li6.8Mn5.2O12. The origin of the disproportionation, and the flat voltage in the lithiation process, are discussed in the framework of the stability of the Mott insulator phase with respect to the metallic phase.

1062-P: Outcomes in Pregnancies with Preexisting Type 1 Diabetes vs. Healthy Controls over a 14-Year Period (2022)

Background: We studied maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies with preexisting T1D and matched controls (age, gravida, BMI) to address limited data in this field in the US. Methods: Pregnancies (n=165) in preexisting T1D and matched healthy controls (n=165) were retrospectively studied (01/01/20to 12/1/2020) at a single center. Conditional logistic regression, Wilcoxon signed rank and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used for analyses. Results: Pregnancies with T1D had significant hypertension [32% (19% pre-existing) vs. 10% (2% pre-existing) , p&amp;lt;0.01], preeclampsia (28% vs. 7%, p&amp;lt;0.01) , thyroid dysfunction (24% vs. 7%, p&amp;lt;0.01) and were affected by polyhydramnios (14% vs. 4%, p&amp;lt;0.01) , macrosomia affecting labor (16% vs. 2%, p&amp;lt;0.01) , increased C-section’s rate (16% vs. 7%, p=0.02) and complicated C- sections (6% vs. 1%, p=0.04) . In T1D, four neonates had cardiac complications and 14 (8.5%) were large for gestational age compared to 2 (1%) controls. More neonates in T1D were preterm (34.5% vs. 14.5%, p&amp;lt;0.01) , with fetal anomalies (15.8% vs. 4%, p&amp;lt;0.01) , Respiratory Distress Syndrome (25.5% vs. 7%, p&amp;lt;0.01) , apnea (14% vs 5.5%, p=0.01) , other pulmonary complications (13% vs. 5%, p&amp;lt;0.01) and respiratory failure (11% vs. 3%, p=0.01) . Significant hypoglycemia (16% vs. 7%) , sepsis (7% vs. 1%) , jaundice (70% vs. 36%) and upper GI complications (39% vs. 16%) were observed in neonates born to mothers with T1D. T1D neonates had higher birth weight (p =0.01) and were born early (37.2 vs. 39 wks, p&amp;lt;0.01) . HbA1c &amp;gt;7% was associated with above neonatal complications compared to those who with HbA1c &amp;lt;6.7%. Conclusion: Pregnancies with type 1 diabetes continue to be associated with high maternal and neonatal morbidity and need urgent development of interventions to improve outcomes.

Modeling and filtering of optical emission spectroscopy. Data for plasma etching systems (1997)

We present a novel filter for optical emission spectroscopy (OES) data in plasma etch control applications. The filter is based on principal component analysis and jump linear filtering. The filter is demonstrated on a commercial multilayer TiN/Al(0.5% Cu)/TiN/SiO/sub 2/ etch process.
Controlled polymerization reaction with new catalyst: Design of metalloporphyrin‐acid systems for monomer activation (1995)

Abstract Metalloporphyrin initiator coupled with an appropriate organometallic Lewis acid catalyst could make possible the first example of living anionic polymerization of oxetane. Lewis acid built‐in metalloporphyrins were designed as a new highly active catalyst/initiator system. The concept of monomer activation by Lewis acid was extended to the use of appropriate protonic acid.
Fabrication of New Planar-Type Microsensor Attached with Spin-Coated Thin Film of Tin Dioxide and Its Thermal and CO Sensing Characteristics (1998)

A new planar-type microsensor in which a gas-sensing layer was surrounded by a platinum heater horizontally on the same plane of a diaphragm was fabricated by a simple silicon micromachining technique using only 3 masks for photolithography. The gas sensing layer of SnO2 or Sb-doped SnO2 was spin-coated from each sol solution and trimmed into the designated dimensions by chemical etching with an aqueous HI solution. Computer simulation of thermal properties showed that the uniformity of temperature over the sensing layer was fairly good as expected, although there were some discrepancies between the temperatures of the sensing layer simulated and observed under given heater power conditions because of the simplified simulation model used. The fabricated microsensor proved a fairly good performance for sensing CO gas in air at 250°C.
Wavelength Conversion of Optical 64QAM and its Performance Optimization by Constellation Monitoring (2013)

We experimentally demonstrate for the first time to our best knowledge, the wavelength conversion of 64QAM through four-wave mixing in highly-nonlinear fiber. In order to eliminate the extra nonlinear distortions such as SPM and SBS, it is suggested to optimize the operation condition by monitoring the constellations, rather than BER.
Techno‐functional and nutritional properties of full‐bran and low‐bran canaryseed flour, and the effect of solvent‐de‐oiling on the proteins of low‐bran flour and isolates (2022)

Abstract Background and Objectives The differences in functional and nutritional properties of whole and white canaryseed flour obtained by roller milling was investigated in this study. Moreover, the effect of solventde‐oiling on the structural, functional, and nutritional properties of the canaryseed protein present in the white flour and derived protein‐isolates was also studied. Findings There was no significant difference between the protein content of whole (21.3%) and white (21.4%) canaryseed flours whereas, oil, ash, total starch, non‐starch carbohydrates, phytic acid, and total phenolic contents showed significant differences between whole and white canaryseed flours. Water and oil holding capacity and emulsifying capacity of whole seed flour were better than that of white flour whereas, emulsion and foaming stability, and foaming capacity were similar. The IVPDCAAS of white flour was 23%, was significantly lower than that of the whole seed flour (31.2%). Ethanol had a higher efficiency for canaryseed oil and phospholipid extraction than hexane. Linolenic acid and phosphatidylcholine were, respectively, the major fatty acid and phospholipid extracted by both ethanol and hexane. None of these solvents caused protein denaturation and showed a positive impact on certain functionalities. Canaryseed protein was found to be thermally stable, with a peak denaturation temperature of 108°C. Conclusions Whole canaryseed flour showed better functionality and nutrition than white flour. The white flour, however, was found to be a more favorable starting material for protein fractionation. Solvent de‐oiling did not have a negative impact on canaryseed protein, which exhibited a high thermal stability. Significance and Novelty This study provides information on functional and nutritional properties of different value‐added protein products of canaryseed and on the effect of solvent de‐oiling on the protein quality. Such understanding is beneficial for the protein ingredient industry.
eSWORD: Implementation of Wireless Jamming Attacks in a Real-World Emulated Network (2023)

Jamming attacks have plagued wireless communication systems and will continue to do so going forward with technological advances. These attacks fall under the category of Electronic Warfare (EW), a continuously growing area in both attack and defense of the electromagnetic spectrum, with one subcategory being electronic attacks (EA). Jamming attacks fall under this specific subcategory of EW as they comprise adversarial signals that attempt to disrupt, deny, degrade, destroy, or deceive legitimate signals in the electromagnetic spectrum. While jamming is not going away, recent research advances have started to get the upper hand against these attacks by leveraging new methods and techniques, such as machine learning. However, testing such jamming solutions on a wide and realistic scale is a daunting task due to strict regulations on spectrum emissions. In this paper, we introduce eSWORD (emulation (of) Signal Warfare On Radio-frequency Devices), the first large-scale framework that allows users to safely conduct real-time and controlled jamming experiments with hardware-in-the-loop. This is done by integrating METEOR, an electronic warfare (EW) threat-emulating software developed by the MITRE Corporation, into the Colosseum wireless network emulator that enables large-scale experiments with up to 49 software-defined radio nodes. We compare the performance of eSWORD with that of real-world jamming systems by using an over-the-air wireless testbed (considering safe measures when conducting experiments). Our experimental results demonstrate that eSWORD achieves up to 98% accuracy in following throughput, signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, and link status patterns when compared to real-world jamming experiments, testifying to the high accuracy of the emulated eSWORD setup.
Abstract 35: Breast cancer cell interactions (2012)

Abstract In this study, a cell culture approach is employed to identify patterns of pair-wise interaction between cancer cells over a panel of 20 established epithelial breast cancer cell lines. It is our hypothesis that different clones within a tumor, as well as different cell lines in cultured conditions, interact in one of two ways: a) by competitive growth or, b) by synergistic growth. We investigate this by culturing cell lines in serum-free conditioned medium (CM), i.e. medium which has already been used on other cell lines. Cell population growth is monitored by incubating cultures with 5-Ethyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU). Cell apoptosis is obtained by labeling fixed cultures with a cleaved Poly ADP Ribose Polymerase (c-PARP) monoclonal antibody. Results yield two 20x20 matrices of cell to CM interaction, and confirm that cancer cells interact through secreted substances in the medium. In an effort to trace these phenomenological interactions back to specific biochemical pathways, the interaction matrices are correlated to gene expression data available for these cell lines. Furthermore, the experiment reveals two cell lines, HCC38 and BT20, whose media produce a strong apoptotic and strong anti-proliferative effect respectively. By employing molecular weight fractionation, we attempt to isolate specific components from the media retaining the strong interaction activity.

Measurement of the top-quark mass in all-jets $$\hbox {t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}$$ t t ¯ events in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=7$$ s = 7 TeV (2014)

The mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of [Formula: see text] candidate events with at least six jets in the final state. The sample is selected from data collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV in 2011 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.54 [Formula: see text]. The mass is reconstructed for each event employing a kinematic fit of the jets to a [Formula: see text] hypothesis. The top-quark mass is measured to be [Formula: see text] GeV. A combination with previously published measurements in other decay modes by CMS yields a mass of [Formula: see text] GeV.

Aberrant expression of CARM1, a transcriptional coactivator of androgen receptor, in the development of prostate carcinoma and androgen‐independent status (2004)

The authors found that overexpression of CARM1 was involved in the development of prostate carcinoma as well as androgen-independent prostate carcinoma. Since CARM1 is functionally different from most other transcriptional coactivators of the AR, it may serve as a new target for the treatment of hormone-independent prostate carcinoma.
Hybrid Nanoparticles for Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Target‐Specific Viral Gene Delivery (2007)

Hybrid nanoparticles with multi-functional capabilities of targeted infection, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and gene delivery are developed by fusing virus and MnMEIO magnetic nanoparticles. Their successful utilizations for in vitro target-specific MR imaging and enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) gene delivery into CAR-positive cells are demonstrated.
Nonlinear Electrical Equalization for Different Modulation Formats With Optical Filtering (2007)

Based on bit-error-ratio simulations, we investigate electrical-dispersion-compensation performance by using a nonlinear electrical equalizer based on nonlinear Volterra theory for different modulation formats. This nonlinear equalizer is compared to conventional decision-feedback equalizer as well as to maximum-likelihood sequence estimation. Especially, we show that nonlinear equalizers, in conjunction with narrowband optical filtering of the light signal, result in improved performance. First of all, the system can benefit from the noise reduction due to narrowband filtering. Second, interacting with chromatic dispersion, nonlinear equalizers benefit from the improved dispersion tolerance through spectrum reshaping by narrowband optical filtering. Finally, nonlinear equalizers can efficiently mitigate the distortion resulting from strong optical filtering
Impact of mitochondrial activity on the cell wall composition and on the resistance to tannic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (2001)

In screening for resistance to tannic acid, mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with an altered cell wall composition were recently isolated. Here we show that these mutants were all respiratory deficient. Cytoplasmic petite mutants isolated after ethidium bromide mutagenesis were resistant to tannic acid and had cell wall characteristics similar to the mutants isolated by screening for tannic acid resistance as shown by the lower sensitivity to zymolyase, a cell wall hydrolyzing enzyme, and by a changed sensitivity to calcofluor white, a molecule interfering with the cell wall assembly. Reintroducing active mitochondria to a tannic-acid-resistant mutant reduced the tannic acid resistance and zymolyase resistance to the wild-type level, showing that a mitochondrial mutation was responsible for the changes in cell wall composition and in tannic acid sensitivity.
