Numerical Study of NOx Emission in High Temperature Air Combustion. (1998)

The characteristics of NOx emission in the high-temperature air combustion technology were investigated numerically. Two kinds of methods were used. Detailed chemistry and transport properties were used for a two-dimensional laminar diffusion flame, and a simplified reaction scheme was used for calculating a turbulent flame in a furnace. Results show that the thermal mechanism dominates NOx emission in high-temperature air combustion. If only the preheated air temperature is increased, NOx emission will rise significantly. However, the combination of air preheating and flue gas recirculation not only improves the combustion efficiency, but also suppresses NOx emission in the combustion process.
Development of Failure Detection System for Network Control using Collective Intelligence of Social Networking Service in Large-Scale Disasters (2016)

When the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred in 2011, it was difficult to immediately grasp all telecommunications network conditions using only information from network monitoring devices because the damage was considerably heavy and a severe congestion control state occurred. Moreover, at the time of the earthquake, telephone and e-mail services could not be used in many cases-although social networking services (SNSs) were still available. In an emergency, such as an earthquake, users proactively convey information on telecommunications network conditions through SNSs. Therefore the collective intelligence of SNSs is suitable as a means of information detection complementary to conventional observation through network monitoring devices. In this paper, we propose a network failure detection system that detects telephony failures with a high degree of accuracy by using the collective intelligence of Twitter, one of the most widely used SNSs. We also show that network control can be performed automatically and autonomically using information on telecommunications network conditions detected with our system.

Differing Associations of White Matter Lesions and Lacunar Infarction with Retinal Microvascular Signs (2012)

Both WML and LI were associated with retinal microvascular signs, supporting a microvascular etiology. Differing patterns of association suggest different mechanisms may predominate, e.g. greater endothelial permeability in WML, and ischemia associated with arteriolar wall disease in LI.
Biphasic Waveforms for Ventricular Defibrillation: Optimization of Total Pulse and Second Phase Durations (1997)

Waveform parameters may affect the efficacy of ventricular defibrillation. Certain biphasic pulse waveforms are more effective for ventricular defibrillation than monophasic waveforms, but the optimal biphasic waveform parameters have not been identified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of total pulse duration and the duration of the second (negative) phase on voltage and energy defibrillation requirements using biphasic waveforms. Defibrillation efficacy was evaluated in an isolated rabbit heart model using the Langendorff technique. The biphasic waveform was a truncated exponential with the initial voltage of the second phase equal to 50% of the final voltage of the first phase. An up/down protocol was used to determine the 50% probability-of-success levels (E50) for delivered energy and initial voltage. First, using pulse waveforms with equal positive and negative phase durations, test waveforms with total durations of 4 ms (2 ms positive + 2 ms negative), 6 ms (3 + 3 ms), and 16 ms (8 + 8 ms) were compared to the control waveform of 8 ms (4 + 4 ms) in 30 experiments. Defibrillation voltage requirements with 4 ms (174 +/- 56 V) were higher (P = 0.001) compared to 8 ms (127 +/- 49 V). Defibrillation voltage requirements for the 6-ms and 16-ms waveforms were similar to the 8-ms control waveform. Delivered energies tended to be higher with the 4-ms waveform. A second series of 40 experiments were performed to compare monophasic (4 + 0 ms) and three asymmetric biphasic waveforms (4 + 2 ms, 4 + 8 ms, and 4 + 16 ms) to the symmetric control waveform (4 + 4 ms). The monophasic (2.15 +/- 1.21 J) and the 4 + 16 ms waveform (1.86 +/- 1.09 J) required higher energies (P < or = 0.05) than the control waveform (1.24 +/- 0.41 J and 0.87 +/- 0.7 J, respectively). The monophasic waveform also resulted in greater voltage requirements (223 +/- 64 V) compared to the control waveform (160 +/- 26 V) (P = 0.02). Energy and voltage requirements were similar for the 4 + 2 ms and 4 + 8 ms waveforms compared to the control. Defibrillation requirements with biphasic waveforms were affected by total and second phase duration. For waveforms with equal phase durations, total durations between 6-16 ms resulted in the lowest values for defibrillation. For waveforms with variable second (negative) phase durations, durations ranging from 50%-200% of the first phase did not affect defibrillation efficacy.
Micrograting formation with femtosecond ultraviolet laser on optical materials (2002)

The ability of UV femtosecond laser pulse to fabricate the fine-pitched microgratings on fused silica or ZnO surfaces has been demonstrated through a two-beam laser interference technique. A pump and probe method has been developed to find the time coincidence of the two UV pulses through a laser-induced optical Kerr effect or transient transmission change. The UV pulses achieve to narrow the grating pitches as small as 290nm. The establishment of the technique provides a novel opportunity for the fabrication of periodic nanoscale structures in various materials.
A Photonic Resonator Interferometric Scattering Microscope for Label-free Detection of Nanometer-Scale Objects with Digital Precision in Point-of-Use Environments (2022)

Label-free detection and digital counting of nanometer-scaled objects such as nanoparticles, viruses, extracellular vesicles, and protein molecules enable a wide range of applications in cancer diagnostics, pathogen detection, and life science research. The contrast of interferometric scattering microscopy is amplified through a photonic crystal surface, upon which scattered light from an object combines with illumination from a monochromatic plane wave source. The use of a photonic crystal substrate for interference scattering microscopy results in reduced requirements for high-intensity lasers or oil-immersion objectives, thus opening a pathway toward instruments that are more suitable for environments outside the optics laboratory. Here, we report the design, implementation, and characterization of a compact Photonic Resonator Interferometric Scattering Microscope (PRISM) designed for point-of-use environments and applications. The instrument incorporates two innovative elements that facilitate operation on a desktop in ordinary laboratory environments by users that do not have optics expertise. First, because scattering microscopes are extremely sensitive to vibration, we incorporated an inexpensive but effective solution of suspending the instrument's main components from a rigid metal framework using elastic bands, resulting in an average of 28.7 dBV reduction in vibration amplitude compared to an office desk. Second, an automated focusing module based on the principle of total internal reflection maintains the stability of image contrast over time and spatial position, facilitating automated data collection. In this work, we characterize the system's performance by measuring the contrast from gold nanoparticles with diameters in the 10-40 nm range and by observing various biological analytes, including HIV virus, SARS-CoV-2 virus, exosomes, and ferritin protein.
Bright Polarized Single-Photon Source Based on a Linear Dipole (2021)

Semiconductor quantum dots in cavities are promising single-photon sources. Here, we present a path to deterministic operation, by harnessing the intrinsic linear dipole in a neutral quantum dot via phonon-assisted excitation. This enables emission of fully polarized single photons, with a measured degree of linear polarization up to 0.994±0.007, and high population inversion-85% as high as resonant excitation. We demonstrate a single-photon source with a polarized first lens brightness of 0.50±0.01, a single-photon purity of 0.954±0.001, and single-photon indistinguishability of 0.909±0.004.

Modeling illumination for scene recovery through the motion, occlusion and strobing of light-sources (2009)

Recent display applications for entertainment and business have made available new types of illumination using LEDs, DMDs and LCDs, which are bright, energy efficient and cheap. Some of these devices are programmable and allow spatio-temporal control of the emitted light rays. With the advent of such digital light-sources, illumination is becoming a flexible, configurable medium. This has impacted computer vision and spurred techniques that control illumination for analysis of indoor areas, industrial environments, stage/studio sets, underwater scenes, underground locations and outdoor scenes at night. In such methods, the light-source's programmability is often exploited to create easily detectable features, such as bright stripes or binary patterns. 
In this thesis, we extract illumination-based features for three new scenarios by exploiting the motion, occlusion and strobing of light-sources. First, we move a light-source in a smooth and random path. For a static scene, this creates a continuous set of intensities at each pixel. We exploit this continuity to detect brightness maxima and minima at scene points and show how these extrema features relate to geometric cues, such as surface normals and depths. For our second approach, we occlude a light-source using moving opaque masks. Each pixel's brightness minima, due to the mask shadow, corresponds to a set of blocked incident light rays. These shadow features can be used to render the scene from the light-source's point-of-view. The third technique exploits the flickering emitted by a strobing source as a temporal feature that is easily detected, even for scenes with fast moving objects. This enables active vision for dynamic scenes, which we demonstrate using DLP illumination. 
Our methods work with a variety of indoor and outdoor materials, real-world textures and glossy/metallic objects. We are not restricted to distant point sources and show results with outdoor illumination, sources with intensity fall-off and area/line sources such as indoor fixtures. None of our approaches require a complex or calibrated setup. Some even allow the light-source to be hand-waved in an unstructured manner. In addition, all of our techniques are easy to implement, requiring only a few lines of code. The work in this thesis demonstrates, for the first time, results such as iso-normal clustering of indoor and outdoor scenes, reciprocal views from general, non-programmable sources and very high-speed marker-less motion-capture and photography. Finally, almost all natural and artificial light-sources in our world either undergo motion (or are mobile), get occluded or exhibit strobing (at some frequency). Therefore our algorithms have relevance for real-world illumination and any applications or extensions of these will have significant impact.
ESR study of spin-trapping with two glycosylated analogues of PBN able to target cell membrane lectins (2004)

The spin trapping behaviour of the two galactosylated nitrones LAMPBN and TA1PBN, both of which are able to target cells through recognition by cell membrane lectins, were widely investigated on a variety of free radicals in aqueous media. The ESR spectra of the more amphiphilic nitrone, TA1PBN, were interpreted in the light of the LAMPBN trapping results. The spin adducts of nitrone TA1PBN, which may be better distributed inside the cell, were surrounded by two distinct environments due to the tensioactive organisation of the trap and gave two different ESR signals for each radical trapped.

Structural analysis of fungus-derived FAD glucose dehydrogenase (2015)

We report the first three-dimensional structure of fungus-derived glucose dehydrogenase using flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as the cofactor. This is currently the most advanced and popular enzyme used in glucose sensor strips manufactured for glycemic control by diabetic patients. We prepared recombinant nonglycosylated FAD-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) derived from Aspergillus flavus (AfGDH) and obtained the X-ray structures of the binary complex of enzyme and reduced FAD at a resolution of 1.78 Å and the ternary complex with reduced FAD and D-glucono-1,5-lactone (LGC) at a resolution of 1.57 Å. The overall structure is similar to that of fungal glucose oxidases (GOxs) reported till date. The ternary complex with reduced FAD and LGC revealed the residues recognizing the substrate. His505 and His548 were subjected for site-directed mutagenesis studies, and these two residues were revealed to form the catalytic pair, as those conserved in GOxs. The absence of residues that recognize the sixth hydroxyl group of the glucose of AfGDH, and the presence of significant cavity around the active site may account for this enzyme activity toward xylose. The structural information will contribute to the further engineering of FADGDH for use in more reliable and economical biosensing technology for diabetes management.
Block adaptive selection of multiple core transforms for video coding (2016)

Transform coding tools in video coding have traditionally relied on the Discrete Cosine Transform Type II (DCT-II) to map residual signals to a new domain where quantization and entropy coding tools achieve a better coding efficiency than in the spatial domain. However, the DCT-II is not sufficient to model all different types of residual signals efficiently, especially in the intra-predicted blocks case. For this reason, the DST-VII was introduced in H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) in order to improve the compression performance of 4 × 4 intra-predicted blocks. In this paper we propose a multiple core transform approach, in which each transform is separable and generated by combining two one-dimensional transforms for the vertical and horizontal directions. The pair of 1-D transforms is selected from a set of three different types of Discrete Trigonometric Transforms and the Identity Transformation. Test results show that the proposed algorithm achieves bit rate reductions of 3% on average with respect to HEVC for intra-predicted residuals.
Trench formation and corner rounding in vertical GaN power devices (2017)

Trench formation and corner rounding are the key processes to demonstrate high-voltage trench-based vertical GaN devices. In this work, we developed a damage-free corner rounding technology combining Tetramethylammonium hydroxide wet etching and piranha clean. By optimizing the inductively coupled plasma dry etching conditions and applying the rounding technology, two main trench shapes were demonstrated: flat-bottom rounded trench and tapered-bottom rounded trench. TCAD simulations were then performed to investigate the impact of trench shapes and round corners on device blocking capability. GaN trench metal-insulator-semiconductor barrier Schottky rectifiers with different trench shapes were fabricated and characterized. A breakdown voltage over 500 V was obtained in the device with flat-bottom rounded trenches, compared to 350 V in the device with tapered-bottom rounded trenches and 150 V in the device with non-rounded trenches. Both experimental and simulation results support the use of rounded flat-bottom trenches to fabricate high-voltage GaN trench-based power devices.
A novel method for the detection of IFN-lambda 3 binding to cells to quantify IFN-lambda receptor expression on epithelial and immune cell subsets (2017)

Abstract Type III interferons (IFN-lambdas) are important antiviral cytokines that also modulate immune responses by acting through a unique IFN-λR1/IL-10R2 heterodimeric receptor. Conflicting data has been reported for which human cells express the IFN-λR1 subunit and directly respond to IFN-λ. Since the commercially available anti-IFN-λR1 flow cytometry antibodies we tried were suboptimal, we developed a novel method to measure IFN-λ3 binding to IFN-λR1/IL-10R2 on the surface of cells via flow cytometry. We found that Huh7.5 hepatoma cells bound IFN-λ3 to the greatest extent with the lowest Kd(app) (83.2nM), and had the corresponding highest induction of IFN stimulated genes (ISGs). Raji and Jurkat cell lines, representing B and T cells, respectively, moderately bound IFN-λ3 and had lower ISG responses. U937 cells, representing monocytes, did not bind IFN-λ3 and therefore, did not have detectable ISG induction. We confirmed that IFN-λ3 was bound to the surface of cells through imaging flow cytometry. Importantly, lentivirus shRNA knockdown of IFNLR1 in Huh7.5 cells decreased our binding signal proportionally and reduced ISG induction by up to 93%. IFN-λ3 responsiveness increased over time with maximal ISG responses seen at 24 hrs for all but one gene. We next applied our assay to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and saw that only specific immune cell subsets bound IFN-λ3 (eg. plasmacytoid dendritic cells and B cells). These data confirm our new IFN-λ3 binding assay can be used to quantify where the IFN-λ receptor is expressed and reflects IFN-λ3 responsiveness. Knowing which cells express the IFN-λ receptor will be crucial for determining how IFN-λ3 modulates the adaptive immune response.

Particulated Juvenile Articular Cartilage Allograft Transplantation for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus (2011)

Osteochondral lesions of the talus present a formidable treatment challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. This explains the multitude of treatment options described for this pathology. Currently, in the United States, surgical treatment options for symptomatic lesions are: debridement; marrow stimulation including drilling, microfracture, and abrasion arthroplasty; osteochondral autograft transfer; fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation; and the recently introduced technique of particulated juvenile cartilage allograft transplantation. The appropriate surgical therapy is based on patient and lesion-specific factors. This article will provide a brief review of these surgical therapies and the technique for particulated juvenile cartilage allograft transplantation.
Blind joint estimation of carrier frequency offset and channel using non-redundant periodic modulation precoders (2002)

Recent results have shown that periodic modulation precoders allow blind estimation of FIR communication channels from the output second-order cyclic statistics, irrespective of the location of channel zeros, color of additive stationary noise, or channel order overestimation errors. The present paper extends these results to the more general blind problem of joint channel and carrier frequency offset estimation. The performance of a subspace channel identification algorithm is investigated in the presence of carrier frequency offset. Estimation of the frequency offset is simply obtained by exploiting the cyclostationary statistics of received data.
Acetylcholine receptor antibody and clinical response to thymectomy in myasthenia gravis (1983)

We studied serum anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody and clinical response to thymectomy in myasthenia gravis for 1 to 3 1/2 years postoperatively in 25 patients who did not receive immunosuppressive drugs. Clinical grade was assessed "blind." Mean final anti-AChR values were significantly reduced compared with thymectomy values (69.6 +/- 7.5% SEM; p less than 0.05). Anti-AChR fell steadily to 42-15% in the six patients who developed remission. Overall, there was a significant correlation between changes in anti-AChR and in clinical grade at 1 year (p less than 0.01) and at final assessment (p less than 0.001). An association between fall in anti-AChR and clinical improvement was absent in five individuals and not accounted for by change in antibody characteristics.
