Combining functional MRI and EEG source imaging (2002)

Even though the entire data for multislice imaging in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be acquired in 50-100 ms using echo-planar imaging, the effective temporal resolution for studying brain function is limited to 1-2s due to the relatively slow temporal response of the underlying hemodynamics. The objective of the preliminary study reported here was to combine evoked potential measurements (commonly referred to as EEG) with fMRI of the same subject to improve temporal resolution. EEG and 1.5T fMRI data were acquired from the subjects during checkerboard stimulation. The EEG data were recorded on a standard 10-20 electrode placement system and sources were reconstructed using a 4-sphere model based on the anatomical MRI of the subjects. Simulated annealing based algorithms were developed to estimate single equivalent dipole and multiple dipole parameters for both single time-point and spatio-temporal EEG data. The results from both single and multiple dipole estimations indicate good correlation between the dipole locations and fMRI.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Key distortion issues and their solutions in direct-conversion transmitters for today's mobile communication systems (2015)

In the wireless communication systems, owing to the increasing demands for high data rate and high efficiency, several practical challenges arise in the design of direct-conversion transmitters (DCTs) for system-on-chip (SoC) or system-in-package (SiP) applications. According to the existing literatures, power amplifier (PA) nonlinearity and local oscillator (LO) pulling are the most critical factors to deteriorate the transmit signal quality. In this work, the above two issues are carefully investigated so as to improve the resultant distortion of the DCT output signal.
Capacity region of the broadcast channel with two deterministic channel state components (2014)

This paper establishes the capacity region of a class of broadcast channels with random state in which each channel component is selected from two possible functions and each receiver knows its state sequence. This channel model does not fit into any class of broadcast channels for which the capacity region was previously known and is useful in studying wireless communication channels when the fading state is known only at the receivers. The capacity region is shown to coincide with the UV outer bound and is achieved via Marton coding.
Authors reply to the letter to editor with regard to the article titled “Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides: An overview, including the role of immunophenotyping” (2020)

We have read with interest the letter to editor by M. Roelens et al. in response to our article on Sézary syndrome (SS) and mycosis fungoides (MF) and the role of immunophenotyping for diagnosis. We appreciate their comments on the potential utility of CD158k (KIR3DL2) for the diagnosis of SS and MF, which certainly complement the data on SS immunophenotyping we report. The authors cite their published work about the role of CD158k for the precise identification of Sézary cells (SCs). Based on their observations, they recommend introducing KIR3DL2/CD158k as a positive marker for the accurate identification of SCs using flow cytometry (Roelens, de Masson, Ram-Wolff, Bagot, & Moins-Teisserenc, 2020). We agree that CD158k is a promising marker, particularly because it would allow “positive” selection of SCs (instead of focusing on downregulated molecules, such as CD7 and CD26) while being negative in normal residual CD4+ T cells, as stated by Roelens et al. However, it should be noted that unequivocal expression of CD158k on SCs from most SS cases has been reported only by this group (though consistently over a long time), using an antibody obtained from a therapeutic antibody manufacturer and not commercially available as a flow-cytometry reagent. Unfortunately, other authors could not reproduce these results using the same clones and fluorochrome (Boonk et al., 2016, and personal observations), possibly due to issues with the reagent, such as lot-to-lot variability and stability for a product that most likely does not currently meet the quality standards to be sold as an analyte specific reagent (ASR) or even a research use only (RUO) antibody. Therefore, to definitively establish the precise utility of CD158k for SS (and MF) immunophenotyping in a standardized way, the exact antibody products used by M. Roelens et al (i.e., clone AZ158k or more recently clone 13E4, both conjugated to phycoerythrin, provided by Innate Pharma, Marseille, France) should be used and offered as a standard quality flow cytometry product (i.e., guaranteeing lot-to-lot stability, effective and stable dye-to-antibody ratio, etc.) available for purchase. This would allow different groups of experts to reach reproducible and comparable results, before recommending the systematic inclusion of CD158k in consensus/standardized panels for SS/MF immunophenotyping.
Ni(Ii)-Catalysed Reactions of Free D-Fructose Derivatives Modified at Positions C-5 and/or C-6 (1998)

Abstract The nickel(II) catalysed isomerisation reactions of D-fructose derivatives modified at positions 5 and/or 6 were investigated. 5,6-Dimodified open-chain D-fructose derivatives as well as an open-chain derivative of D-xylulose reacted to give complex mixtures containing no major product. 5-Modified ketohexoses invariantly were degraded to the corresponding methyl pentonates upon loss of C-1. 6-Modified D-fructofuranose furnished the desired rearrangement into a branched-chain derivative of D-ribose. In marked contrast to previous belief, from these results it appears that 5-OH plays an important role in the productive co-ordination of the D-fructose derivatives to the nickel-ethylenediamine complexes under consideration.

SFC may be used to delay the use of ADT. Further assessment of our findings with high-powered studies and longer follow-up is required.
On optimal differentially private mechanisms for count-range queries (2013)

While there is a large and growing body of literature on differentially private mechanisms for answering various classes of queries, to the best of our knowledge "count-range" queries have not been studied. These are a natural class of queries that ask "is the number of rows in a relation satisfying a given predicate between two integers θ<sub>1</sub> and θ<sub>2</sub>?" Such queries can be viewed as a simple form of SQL "having" queries. We begin by developing a provably optimal differentially private mechansim for count-range queries for a single consumer. For count queries (in contrast to count-range queries), Ghosh et al. [9] have provided a differentially private mechanism that simultaneously maximizes utility for multiple consumers. This raises the question of whether such a mechanism exists for count-range queries. We prove that the answer is no - for count range queries, no such mechanism exists. However, perhaps surprisingly, we prove that such a mechanism does exist for "threshold" queries, which are simply count-range queries for which either θ<sub>1</sub> = 0 or θ<sub>2</sub> = +∞. Furthermore, we prove that this mechanism is a two-approximation for general count-range queries.
Back Cover: Mechanistic Insight into the Conversion of Tetrose Sugars to Novel α‐Hydroxy Acid Platform Molecules (ChemCatChem 2/2013) (2013)

How to win with tin! The cover picture shows the ability of dissolved tin, the 50th element of Mendeleev's periodic table, to catalyze the conversion of tetrose sugars in alcoholic media via a cascade reaction: an isomerization, two retro-Michael reactions, a hemi-acetalization, a 1,4-addition, and a 1,2-hydride shift. In their Full Paper on p. 569 ff., M. Dusselier, B. F. Sels et al. report on the mechanistic implications of the tetrose transformation with Sn, leading to new four-carbon-backbone α-hydroxy esters such as methyl vinylglycolate (MVG) and methyl-4-methoxy-2-hydroxybutanoate (MMHB), of use in bio-derived polyesters. In situ NMR spectroscopy, deuterium labeling, and control experiments with intermediates revealed the individual pathways in which the kinetic competition between the 1,4-addition and 1,2-hydride shift is key to the product outcome.
Conditional Survival Predictions After Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma (2009)

We developed (2,530) and externally validated (3,560) a conditional nomogram for predicting renal cell carcinoma specific mortality that allows consideration of the length of survivorship. Our tool provides the most realistic prognosis estimates with high accuracy.
Quality factor for localized defect modes in a photonic crystal slab upon a low-index dielectric substrate (2001)

Localized defect modes in a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab upon a SiO(2) substrate have been analyzed by a numerical simulation of dipole radiation based on the finite-difference time-domain method. A degenerate pair of the defect mode of E(1) spatial symmetry was found in a pseudogap in the spectrum of dipole radiation. We achieved a quality factor as large as 800 by optimizing the sample geometry.
Materials for Printable, Transparent, and Low‐Voltage Transistors (2010)

Abstract Since the 1990s, printable, transparent, and low‐voltage transistors have attracted great attention from academia and industry due to the demand for specialized circuitry such as in radio‐frequency identification (RFID) tags, medical sensors, and electronically active textiles. Some flexible and portable devices have been available commercially; however, the challenge to convert more conceptual devices into real‐life applications is still the materials. This article starts with a brief summary of some examples from silicon electronics, to place the other materials in context, followed by the topics including high‐capacitance dielectrics, transparent conductors and semiconductors, and printability of recently developed electronic materials. The recent progress about these topics is reviewed, and discussions of each topic suggest future science and engineering research opportunities.
Structural Vibration Modeling and Validation. Modeling Uncertainty and Stochastic Control for Structural Control (2005)

The insect midgut epithelium is generally lined with a unique chitin and protein structure, the peritrophic membrane (PM), which facilitates food digestion and protects the gut epithelium. PM proteins are important determinants for PM structure and formation. In this study, the silkworm Bombyx mori midgut PM protein BmCDA7 was identified by proteomic tools. The full-length BmCDA7 cDNA is 1357 bp; the deduced protein is composed of 379 amino acid residues and includes a 16 amino acid residue signal peptide, a putative polysaccharide deacetylase-like domain and 15 cysteine residues present in three clusters. The heterologously expressed proteins of the BmCDA7 gene in yeast displayed chitin deacetylase activity. Expression of B. mori BmCDA7 was detected in the midgut at both the transcriptional and translational levels. The BmCDA7 gene was expressed by the newly hatched silkworm larvae until day seven of the fifth instar and was expressed at a high level in the newly exuviated larvae of different instars. The functions and regulatory mechanism of BmCDA7, however, need further investigation.
Interaction with the hERG channel and cytotoxicity of amiodarone and amiodarone analogues (2008)

Amiodarone analogues with better hERG channel inhibition and cytotoxicity profiles than the parent compound have been identified, demonstrating that cytotoxicity and hERG channel interaction are mechanistically distinct and separable properties of the compounds.
The Good Side of the Bad Guys: Predation of Lepidopteran Pests by Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Florida Panhandle (2020)

Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is an aggressive invasive species in many parts of the world, including the southeastern USA. The objectives of this study were to document S. invicta occurrence and predation potential of lepidopteran pests in peanut and cotton fields in the Florida Panhandle. The predation potential of S. invicta on Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was evaluated in experimental areas of peanut and cotton at the West Florida Research and Education Center, University of Florida/IFAS, Jay, Florida, USA, during 2 crop seasons. Overall, we found a beneficial aspect of this invasive species in the agroecosystems of the Florida Panhandle.
Traffic routing for multi-computer networks with virtual cut-through capability (2002)

The problem of selecting routes for interprocess communication in a network with virtual cut-through capability, while balancing the network load and minimizing the number of times that a message gets buffered, is addressed. The approach taken is to formulate the route selection problem as a minimization problem, with a link cost function that depends on the traffic through the link. The form of this cost function is derived on the basis of the probability of establishing a virtual cut-through route. It is shown that this route selection problem is NP-hard, and so an approximate algorithm that tries to reduce the cost incrementally by rerouting traffic is developed. The performance of this algorithm is evaluated for two popular network topologies: the hypercube and the C-wrapped hexagonal mesh.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
High Temperature Dynamic Pressure Measurements Using Silicon Carbide Pressure Sensors (2014)

Un-cooled, MEMS-based silicon carbide (SiC) static pressure sensors were used for the first time to measure pressure perturbations at temperatures as high as 600 °C during laboratory characterization, and subsequently evaluated in a combustor rig operated under various engine conditions to extract the frequencies that are associated with thermoacoustic instabilities. One SiC sensor was placed directly in the flow stream of the combustor rig while a benchmark commercial water-cooled piezoceramic dynamic pressure transducer was co-located axially but kept some distance away from the hot flow stream. In the combustor rig test, the SiC sensor detected thermoacoustic instabilities across a range of engine operating conditions, amplitude magnitude as low as 0.5 psi at 585 °C, in good agreement with the benchmark piezoceramic sensor. The SiC sensor experienced low signal to noise ratio at higher temperature, primarily due to the fact that it was a static sensor with low sensitivity.

Substance Abuse, HIV-1 and Hepatitis (2012)

During the course of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) disease, the virus has been shown to effectively escape the immune response with the subsequent establishment of latent viral reservoirs in specific cell populations within the peripheral blood (PB) and associated lymphoid tissues, bone marrow (BM), brain, and potentially other end organs. HIV-1, along with hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV), are known to share similar routes of transmission, including intravenous drug use, blood transfusions, sexual intercourse, and perinatal exposure. Substance abuse, including the use of opioids and cocaine, is a significant risk factor for exposure to HIV-1 and the development of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, as well as HBV and HCV exposure, infection, and disease. Thus, coinfection with HIV-1 and HBV or HCV is common and may be impacted by chronic substance abuse during the course of disease. HIV- 1 impacts the natural course of HBV and HCV infection by accelerating the progression of HBV/HCV-associated liver disease toward end-stage cirrhosis and quantitative depletion of the CD4+ T-cell compartment. HBV or HCV coinfection with HIV-1 is also associated with increased mortality when compared to either infection alone. This review focuses on the impact of substance abuse and coinfection with HBV and HCV in the PB, BM, and brain on the HIV-1 pathogenic process as it relates to viral pathogenesis, disease progression, and the associated immune response during the course of this complex interplay. The impact of HIV-1 and substance abuse on hepatitis virus-induced disease is also a focal point.
<title>Disparity estimation with object-contour information for synthesizing intermediate view images</title> (1996)

To synthesize intermediate view images between a pair of left and right view images of an object, we propose a new method which estimates disparity with discontinuity at the object contour. Our method consists of four steps: (1) Two initial disparity maps based on the right or left view images are estimated integrating the various block size correlations. (2) Ill- corresponding areas in both of the initial disparity maps are detected with `confidence measures'. Then, the disparity of the il-corresponding areas is estimated from the boundary disparity and the object contours are detected using the Snake method for both view images. (3) The disparity maps obtained above are reestimated along the points of the object contours. (4) Using the reestimated disparity maps, two intermediate view images based on both view images are synthesized and integrated into the final intermediate view image. Our method can estimate the disparity of an occluded area with discontinuity at the object contour. Experimental results show the proposed method improves the quality of the intermediate view images, especially in the region of object contours, and its MSE is reduced to 30%.
Radial Forearm Free Flap Phalloplasty for Penile Inadequacy in Patients with Exstrophy (2012)

Radial forearm free flap phalloplasty results in a sensate, cosmetic neophallus. No patient had long-term complications related to phalloplasty but complications related to penile prostheses continue to be a challenging aspect of phalloplasty. The long-term results of the forearm free flap are encouraging in this series of patients with bladder and cloacal exstrophy who desired phalloplasty.
A Compact Tunable Filtering Rat-Race Coupler (2018)

Ahstract- This paper presents, for the first time, a compact frequency-tunable filtering rat-race coupler. The design employs four high-Q tunable Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) cavity resonators with two opposite polarity inter-coupling structures. The coupler is synthesized using the coupling matrix method. The design process as well as experimental results are presented in the paper. The total size of the proposed rat-race coupler is (0.38λg×0.38λg[λg at 1.3 GHz]) which represents 42% reduction in the structure footprint compared to a conventional one. The coupler can be tuned starting from 1.3-2.21 GHz (70% tuning range). Moreover, it has an equal power dividing ratio with a measured insertion loss ranging from 4.2-3.7 dB. Over the full range, the measured 3-dB fractional bandwidth ranges from 5.5-6.46%, and the isolation is better than 30 dB.

Interparticle magnetic correlations in dense Co nanoparticle assemblies (2004)

Resonant magnetic x-ray scattering from dense self-assemblies of 9-nm diameter epsilon-Co and hcp-Co particles is reported. For lower anisotropy epsilon-Co we find remanent magnetic scattering that is significantly enhanced, indicating preferred inter-particle moment orientations of both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic character. This interaction-mediated collective behavior is consistent with dipolar fields and exists well above the isolated particles blocking temperature where thermal activation is operative, suggesting that magnetostatic super-spin waves exist in such systems.
Novel small-size directional antenna for UWB WBAN/WPAN applications (2005)

This paper presents a novel small-size directional antenna design for ultrawide-band wireless body area networks/wireless personal area networks applications. The design is based on a typical slot antenna structure with an added reflector in order to achieve directionality. The effects of different antenna parameters and human body proximity on the radiation characteristics are analyzed. Antenna measurements with an optic RF setup were performed in order to characterize the small-size antenna far field radiation pattern. The different structural antenna parameters were optimized via extensive numerical simulations. Results show that for frequencies above 3.5 GHz, where the power front-to-back ratio of the directional antenna is greater than 10 dB, its impedance is nearly the same as in the free space. It is not the case neither for the omnidirectional slot antenna nor the monopole antenna next to the body. Between 3 and 6 GHz performance of the novel directional antenna, in terms of radiation efficiency and SAR values, is significantly improved compared to omnidirectional antenna designs.
Effect of Thread Pitch and Initial Tension on the Self-Loosening of Threaded Fasteners (2005)

A mathematical model and an experimental procedure are presented to study the self-loosening phenomenon of threaded fasteners that are subjected to cyclic transverse loads. The study investigates the effect of thread pitch, initial bolt tension, and the amplitude of the external excitation on the loosening of a single-bolt joint. The rate of drop in the joint clamp load (fastener tension) per cycle, as well as the total number of cycles that would cause the complete loss of clamp load, are monitored. In the mathematical model, the differential equations of linear and angular motion of the bolt are formulated in terms of the system properties and the external cyclic transverse excitation. Numerical integration of the equation of angular motion provides the bolt rotation in the loosening direction, which causes the partial or full loss of the clamp load. An iterative MATLAB code is developed and used for the calculation of tension loss in the fastener tension due to the self-loosening. Analytical and experimental results are discussed.

Low-temperature operation of vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (1995)

Vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers originally designed for room temperature operation are operated at 77 K. At this temperature, the gain peak and the cavity mode do not overlap. However, due to joule heating, at high biasing levels they come back into alignment and high single-mode output powers and large modulation bandwidths are observed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
