hXDP (2022)

The network interface cards (NICs) of modern computers are changing to adapt to faster data rates and to help with the scaling issues of general-purpose CPU technologies. Among the ongoing innovations, the inclusion of programmable accelerators on the NIC's data path is particularly interesting, since it provides the opportunity to offload some of the CPU's network packet processing tasks to the accelerator. Given the strict latency constraints of packet processing tasks, accelerators are often implemented leveraging platforms such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs can be re-programmed after deployment, to adapt to changing application requirements, and can achieve both high throughput and low latency when implementing packet processing tasks. However, they have limited resources that may need to be shared among diverse applications, and programming them is difficult and requires hardware design expertise. We present hXDP, a solution to run on FPGAs software packet processing tasks described with the eBPF technology and targeting the Linux's eXpress Data Path. hXDP uses only a fraction of the available FPGA resources, while matching the performance of high-end CPUs. The iterative execution model of eBPF is not a good fit for FPGA accelerators. Nonetheless, we show that many of the instructions of an eBPF program can be compressed, parallelized, or completely removed, when targeting a purpose-built FPGA design, thereby significantly improving performance. We implement hXDP on an FPGA NIC and evaluate it running real-world unmodified eBPF programs. Our implementation runs at 156.25MHz and uses about 15% of the FPGA resources. Despite these modest requirements, it can run dynamically loaded programs, achieves the packet processing throughput of a high-end CPU core, and provides a 10X lower packet forwarding latency.

We are delighted to introduce the readers to this special section of the IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking (TCCN), which aims at exploring recent advances and addressing practical challenges in the applications of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in modern wireless networks. We have received a total of 29 submissions, and after a rigorous review process, 12 articles have been selected for publication, which are briefly discussed as follows.
Scattering estimation from digital breast tomosynthesis guiding near infrared spectral tomographic reconstruction (2013)

X-ray image pixel intensity and optical scattering are compared for 11 normal subjects to assess the feasibility of using X-ray imaging as a surrogate for optical scattering in NIR spectral tomography. Digital breast tomosynthesis exams, as well as twenty single point reflectance measurements of optical breast scattering are compared for a wide variety of breast sizes and densities to determine if scattering can be accurately predicted based on x-ray attenuation. If implemented, x-ray based scattering estimation will decrease exam time and cost as well as simplify the design of a newly developed integrated near infrared spectral tomography and digital breast tomosynthesis imaging system.
Microfibrous substrate geometry as a critical trigger for organization, self‐renewal, and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells within synthetic 3‐dimensional microenvironments (2012)

Substrates used to culture human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are typically 2-dimensional (2-D) in nature, with limited ability to recapitulate in vivo-like 3-dimensional (3-D) microenvironments. We examined critical determinants of hESC self-renewal in poly-d-lysine-pretreated synthetic polymer-based substrates with variable microgeometries, including planar 2-D films, macroporous 3-D sponges, and microfibrous 3-D fiber mats. Completely synthetic 2-D substrates and 3-D macroporous scaffolds failed to retain hESCs or support self-renewal or differentiation. However, synthetic microfibrous geometries made from electrospun polymer fibers were found to promote cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, self-renewal, and directed differentiation of hESCs in the absence of any exogenous matrix proteins. Mechanistic studies of hESC adhesion within microfibrous scaffolds indicated that enhanced cell confinement in such geometries increased cell-cell contacts and altered colony organization. Moreover, the microfibrous scaffolds also induced hESCs to deposit and organize extracellular matrix proteins like laminin such that the distribution of laminin was more closely associated with the cells than the Matrigel treatment, where the laminin remained associated with the coated fibers. The production of and binding to laminin was critical for formation of viable hESC colonies on synthetic fibrous scaffolds. Thus, synthetic substrates with specific 3-D microgeometries can support hESC colony formation, self-renewal, and directed differentiation to multiple lineages while obviating the stringent needs for complex, exogenous matrices. Similar scaffolds could serve as tools for developmental biology studies in 3-D and for stem cell differentiation in situ and transplantation using defined humanized conditions.

Final report on key comparison CCQM-K73: Amount content of H+in hydrochloric acid (0.1 mol kg−1) (2012)

This key comparison (KC), CCQM-K73, was performed to demonstrate the capability of the participating National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) to measure the amount content of H+, νH+, in an HCl solution with a nominal νH+ of 0.1 mol kg−1. The comparison was a joint activity of the Electrochemical Working Group (EAWG) and Inorganic Analysis Working Group (IAWG) of the CCQM and was coordinated by NIST (USA) and CENAM (Mexico). The agreement of the results was not commensurate with the claimed uncertainties of the subset of participants that claimed small uncertainties for this determination. A workshop on technical issues relating to the CCQM-K73 measurements was conducted at the joint IAWG-EAWG meeting at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Paris (Sevres) in April 2010. Several possible sources of bias were investigated, but none could explain the observed dispersion among the participants' results. In the absence of a specific cause for the dispersion, the IAWG and EAWG decided to assign a Key Comparison Reference Value, KCRV, and standard uncertainty of the KCRV, uKCRV, based on the DerSimonian–Laird statistical estimator. The uKCRV is dominated by the between-laboratory scatter of results in CCQM-K73. The uncertainty estimates from the participants with the lowest reported uncertainties remain unsupported by this KC.

The final report has been peer-reviewed and approved for publication by the CCQM, according to the provisions of the CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement (CIPM MRA).
An Integrated Graphics Programming Environment (1986)

Abstract The facilities of the PS‐algol programming language are described in this paper to show how they may be used to provide an integrated graphics programming environment. The persistent store mechanism and the secure transaction facilities of the language provide the basic environment in which an integrated system may be implemented. This is augmented by data types and operations to support line drawings and raster graphics. The combination of these mechanisms may be used to provide the integrated graphics programming environment.
Identification of an N‐hydroxyguanidine reducing activity of xanthine oxidase (1998)

A guanoxabenz [1-(2,6-dichlorobenzylideneamino)-3-hydroxyguanidine; an N-hydroxyguanidine] reducing enzymatic activity of rat spleen cytosol was investigated. By means of protein purification and N-terminal amino acid sequencing, the reducing activity was shown to reside in xanthine oxidase. The action of the enzyme on guanoxabenz resulted in the formation of guanabenz [1-(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene-amino)-3-guanidine]; the product formation could be monitored by HPLC and its identity was confirmed by NMR analysis. The reduction of guanoxabenz required xanthine or NADH as reducing substrates, while the process could be blocked by allopurinol, a selective inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. By using bovine milk xanthine oxidase, the guanoxabenz reducing activity of the enzyme was also verified. We conclude that guanoxabenz is a novel electron acceptor structure for xanthine oxidase.
On the SINR distribution of codebook-based precoding in LTE in case of inter-cell interference (2011)

Interference is an important performance limiting factor in cell-based mobile communication scenarios. Especially entities located at cell edges significantly suffer from inter-cell interference caused by base stations serving users in neighboring cells. The standard of LTE considers a frequency reuse factor of one, which makes inter-cell interference coordination a widely discussed topic. However, most of these techniques lead to a reduction of inter-cell interference instead of a full suppression. Hence, inter-cell interference remains an unpredictable random effect that has to be classified statistically. Within this paper, we derive the probability density function of the inter-cell interference and the resulting SINR PDF, which is given as a non-linear transformation of the interference. Unitary matrix precoding as applied in LTE Rel. 8 is taken into regard. The results are verified by simulative investigations.
Prevalence of hepatitis C and G virus infection in chronic hemodialysis patients (1998)

An RNA virus designated hepatitis G virus (HGV) has been recently identified in patients with acute and chronic liver disease. HGV is transfusion transmissible, it has global distribution, and it is present in the volunteer blood donor population in the United States. One hundred sixty patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at the University of Miami-affiliated unit were evaluated. There were 99 men and 61 women ranging in age from 22 to 80 years. Sixty percent had a history of blood transfusion, 6% had a history of drug abuse, and 9% were infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. HGV-RNA was detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction with amplification of two independent regions (5'-nontranslated region and NS5a coding region). Detection of digoxigenin-labeled amplification products with specific capture probes to the coding and noncoding regions was performed with the Enzymun-test DNA on an ES-300 Immunoassay System (Boehringer-Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany). Hepatitis C antibodies were measured with anti-hepatitis C virus enzyme-linked immunosorbent third-generation assays and hepatitis C virus RNA by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. There were 32 (20%) patients with detectable HGV RNA with both primer pairs. Because of possible mutations, the HGV virus may be detectable only with one primer pair. We considered the latter as indeterminate: 12 had detectable levels to the NS5a region only, seven to the 5'-nontranslated region, and six had borderline results. Detectable and indeterminate samples were confirmed by repeat measurements in a new blood sample. Seven of 24 (29%) patients with detectable hepatitis C virus RNA had coexisting HGV with one or both HGV primer pairs (four with both and three with one). Five patients were hepatitis B surface antigen positive and HGV negative. We conclude that HGV infection is prevalent in our dialysis patients. The clinical significance of HGV infection remains to be established.
Stresses at the Cranial Base Induced by Facial Trauma (2007)

Introduction: The aim of the study was to achieve a skull base model that can simulate the stresses at the cranial base induced by facial trauma. Possible injury of the dura caused by deformed neighboring bony structures was the major focus. Initial tearing of the dura is not always visible immediately after the trauma but can lead to serious problems and life-threatening sequelae (e.g., meningitis).

This paper provides a summary of available technologies required for implementing indoor laser-based wireless networks capable of achieving aggregate data-rates of terabits per second as widely accepted as a sixth generation (6G) key performance indicator. The main focus of this paper is on the technologies supporting the near infrared region of the optical spectrum. The main challenges in the design of the transmitter and receiver systems and communication/networking schemes are identified and new insights are provided. This paper also covers the previous and recent standards as well as industrial applications for optical wireless communications (OWC) and LiFi.
Interaction devices for hands-on desktop design (2003)

Starting with a list of typical hand actions - such as touching or twisting - a collection of physical input device prototypes was created to study better ways of engaging the body and mind in the computer aided design process. These devices were interchangeably coupled with a graphics system to allow for rapid exploration of the interplay between the designer's intent, body motions, and the resulting on-screen design. User testing showed that a number of key considerations should influence the future development of such devices: coupling between the physical and virtual worlds, tactile feedback, and scale. It is hoped that these explorations contribute to the greater goal of creating user interface devices that increase the fluency, productivity and joy of computer-augmented design.
Data from The c-Myc Oncogene Directly Induces the H19 Noncoding RNA by Allele-Specific Binding to Potentiate Tumorigenesis (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;The product of the &lt;i&gt;MYC&lt;/i&gt; oncogene is widely deregulated in cancer and functions as a regulator of gene transcription. Despite an extensive profile of regulated genes, the transcriptional targets of c-Myc essential for transformation remain unclear. In this study, we show that c-Myc significantly induces the expression of the &lt;i&gt;H19&lt;/i&gt; noncoding RNA in diverse cell types, including breast epithelial, glioblastoma, and fibroblast cells. c-Myc binds to evolutionarily conserved E-boxes near the imprinting control region to facilitate histone acetylation and transcriptional initiation of the &lt;i&gt;H19&lt;/i&gt; promoter. In addition, c-Myc down-regulates the expression of insulin-like growth factor 2 (&lt;i&gt;IGF2&lt;/i&gt;), the reciprocally imprinted gene at the &lt;i&gt;H19/IGF2&lt;/i&gt; locus. We show that c-Myc regulates these two genes independently and does not affect &lt;i&gt;H19&lt;/i&gt; imprinting. Indeed, allele-specific chromatin immunoprecipitation and expression analyses indicate that c-Myc binds and drives the expression of only the maternal &lt;i&gt;H19&lt;/i&gt; allele. The role of H19 in transformation is addressed using a knockdown approach and shows that down-regulation of H19 significantly decreases breast and lung cancer cell clonogenicity and anchorage-independent growth. In addition, c-Myc and H19 expression shows strong association in primary breast and lung carcinomas. This work indicates that c-Myc induction of the &lt;i&gt;H19&lt;/i&gt; gene product holds an important role in transformation. (Cancer Res 2006; 66(10): 5330-7)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Growth of Micropipe Free Crystals on 4H-SiC {03-38} Seeds (2006)

Growth of 4H-SiC bulk crystals on 4H-SiC {03-38} seeds was done. 4H-SiC {03-38} is obtained by inclining the c-plane toward &lt;01-10&gt; at a 54.7 degrees angle. Growth on the 4H-SiC {03-38} seed has the potential to achieve high quality crystals without micropipes and stacking faults. Micropipe-free c-plane 4H-SiC wafers were achieved by growth on the 4H-SiC {03-38} seed. A transmission X-ray topograph image of the micropipe free c-plane wafer revealed that there are no macroscopic defects with displacements.
Absorption of near fields generated by a two-dimensional array of dipoles above a hyperbolic metamaterial (2013)

We investigate the power emitted by a two-dimensional array of impressed dipoles above a hyperbolic metamaterial (HM). Transmission line formalism of TM/TE spectral plane waves is used to model the scattering from the HM substrate. We show that the HM enhances the amount of emitted power which is mostly absorbed by the HM.
Adsorptive behaviour of surface tailored fungal biomass for the elimination of toxic dye from wastewater (2020)

In the present research, adsorptive separation of Reactive Red-3 (RR3) from aqueous solution has been studied using surface tailored fungal biomass (Trichoderma harzianum). SEM with EDAX, XRD, FTIR and TG-DTA of the adsorbent had been discussed to verify the quality and efficiency of the adsorbent. The dye solution pH of 4, biosorbent dosage (0.5 g/L), contact time (150 min) and incubation temperature (40°C) for an initial dye concentration of 100 mg/L were predicted as an optimum condition for the highest removal of dye from aqueous solution. Among various kinetic models analysed, pseudo-second order model explains well the adsorptive cycle with a comprehensive relationship between experimental and measured biosorption capacity. Removal data was also analysed by using Langmuir, Dubinin–Radushkevich, Freundlich and Temkin isotherms. The process of biosorption was well described by Freundlich isotherm because of the higher correlation coefficient. The results of the models have been used to determine the ideal mechanism of the biosorption process. Langmuir sorption capacity was estimated as 172.63 mg/g at an optimum condition. Thermodynamic studies were also analysed to evaluate the parameters such as change in enthalpy (28.982 kJ/mol), change in Gibbs free energy and change in entropy (116.56 J/mol K), which indicates that the biosorption process was spontaneous at all temperatures and endothermic in nature. The prepared material can be an alternative to the existing biosorbents.
Power Consumption and Temperature Increase in Large Area Active-Matrix OLED Displays (2008)

We model and analyze the power consumption and resulting temperature rise in active-matrix organic-light-emitting device (AMOLED) displays as a function of the OLED efficiency, display resolution and display size. Power consumption is a critical issue for mobile display applications as it directly impacts battery requirements, and it is also very important for large area applications where it affects the display temperature rise, which directly impacts the panel lifetime. Phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLEDs) are shown to offer significant advantage as compared to conventional fluorescent OLEDs due to high luminous efficiency resulting in lower pixel currents, reducing both the power consumed in the OLED devices and the series connected driving thin-film transistor (TFT). The power consumption and temperature rise of OLED displays are calculated as a function of the device efficiency, display size, display luminance and the type of backplane technology employed. The impact of using top-emission OLEDs is also discussed.

Piezoelectric modulation of surface voltage in GaN and AlGaN/GaN: charge screening effects and 2DEG (2017)

Surface voltage response to pulses of piezoelectric polarization is measured with a Kelvin-probe providing a unique means for investigation of the dynamics of polarization induced sheet charge and 2DEG. Combined with biasing of the surface with a corona-deposited charge from accumulation to deep depletion and corresponding non-contact C-V type characterization, the technique identifies surface band bending and interface traps as key factors that affect the magnitude and time decay of piezoelectric polarization. For 2DEG structures, surface potential pinning is observed when the 2DEG is fully populated. Pinning is released by negative corona charging to fully deplete the 2DEG. These results are consistent with the role of surface states. Presently demonstrated polarization modulation and wafer scale measurements shall impact the in-depth characterization and fundamental understanding of AlGaN/GaN 2DEG structures.

Mission-profile based multi-objective optimization of power electronics converter for wind turbines (2017)

To help mitigate some of the challenges associated with the wide spread adoption of the stochastic wind power, wind turbine with full-scale power converter (Type D) is preferred. Since full power is processed by the power converter in a type D wind turbine, it is important to improve its efficiency and reduce the cost per kW to achieve lower cost of energy. The power produced by the wind turbine varies in a wide range and the conventional design approach of optimizing converter at a specific loading condition may be sub-optimal. To overcome this challenge, a mission-profile based multi-objective optimization approach for designing power converter is presented. The objective is to minimize the energy loss for a given load profile as against the conventional approach of minimizing power loss at specific loading conditions. The proposed approach is illustrated by designing a grid-side power converter for 2 MW, 690 V wind turbine. The loss and volume models of the semiconductor and passive components have been discussed and design procedure has been demonstrated.
