Nonparametric Representations for Integrated Inference, Control, and Sensing (2015)

Abstract : The objective of this research program was to develop mathematical foundations of information gathering through an integrated theory of sensing, inference, and control. The goal of the team was to develop a new framework for autonomous operations that will extend the state of the art in distributed learning and modeling from data, and tightly integrate these models into new decentralized cooperative planning algorithms. The main output of this effort will be a fundamental theory to integrate decentralized information driven planning methods for heterogenous teams with nonparametric Bayesian models of uncertainty. The feasibility and aspects of the value of the theory were demonstrated via integrated software and hardware experiments.
On the Mechanism of [Rh(CO)2Cl]2-Catalyzed Intermolecular (5 + 2) Reactions between Vinylcyclopropanes and Alkynes (2004)

DFT calculations have been applied to investigate the reaction mechanism of rhodium dimer, [Rh(CO)2Cl]2, catalyzed intermolecular (5 + 2) reactions between vinylcyclopropanes and alkynes. The catalytic species is Rh(CO)Cl and the catalytic cycle is through the sequential reactions of cyclopropyl cleavage of vinylcyclopropane, alkyne insertion (rate-determining step), and a migratory reductive elimination.
The Bi 2 O 3 –Nb 2 O 5 –NiO Phase Diagram (2005)

The Bi 2 O 3 –Nb 2 O 5 –NiO phase diagram at 1100°C was determined by means of solid‐state synthesis, X‐ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. A ternary eutectic with a melting point below 1100°C was found to exist in the field between NiO, Bi 2 O 3 , and the end‐member of the δBi 2 O 3 –Nb 2 O 5 solid solution. The existence of the previously reported Bi 3 Ni 2 NbO 9 phase was disproved. A pyrochlore homogeneity range around Bi 1.5 Ni 0.67 Nb 1.33 O 6.25 was determined together with all the phase relations in this phase diagram.
Trivial low energy states for commuting Hamiltonians, and the quantum PCP conjecture (2013)

We consider the entanglement properties of ground states of Hamiltonians which are sums of commuting projectors (we call these commuting projector Hamiltonians), in particular whether or not they have ``trivial" ground states, where a state is trivial if it is constructed by a local quantum circuit of bounded depth and range acting on a product state. It is known that Hamiltonians such as the toric code only have nontrivial ground states in two dimensions. Conversely, commuting projector Hamiltonians which are sums of two-body interactions have trivial ground states\cite{bv}. Using a coarse-graining procedure, this implies that any such Hamiltonian with bounded range interactions in one dimension has a trivial ground state. In this paper, we further explore the question of which Hamiltonians have trivial ground states. We define an ``interaction complex" for a Hamiltonian, which generalizes the notion of interaction graph and we show that if the interaction complex can be continuously mapped to a $1$-complex using a map with bounded diameter of pre-images then the Hamiltonian has a trivial ground state assuming one technical condition on the Hamiltonians holds (this condition holds for all stabilizer Hamiltonians, and we additionally prove the result for all Hamiltonians under one assumption on the $1$-complex). While this includes the cases considered by Ref.~\onlinecite{bv}, we show that it also includes a larger class of Hamiltonians whose interaction complexes cannot be coarse-grained into the case of Ref.~\onlinecite{bv} but still can be mapped continuously to a $1$-complex. One motivation for this study is an approach to the quantum PCP conjecture. We note that many commonly studied interaction complexes can be mapped to a $1$-complex after removing a small fraction of sites. For commuting projector Hamiltonians on such complexes, in order to find low energy trivial states for the original Hamiltonian, it would suffice to find trivial ground states for the Hamiltonian with those sites removed. Such trivial states can act as a classical witness to the existence of a low energy state. While this result applies for commuting Hamiltonians and does not necessarily apply to other Hamiltonians, it suggests that to prove a quantum PCP conjecture for commuting Hamiltonians, it is worth investigating interaction complexes which cannot be mapped to $1$-complexes after removing a small fraction of points. We define this more precisely below; in some sense this generalizes the notion of an expander graph. Surprisingly, such complexes do exist as will be shown elsewhere\cite{fh}, and have useful properties in quantum coding theory.
Effects of anti‐Ig reagents on T cell functions I. Activation of rabbit T cells by anti‐allotype antibodies (1982)

Rabbit lymphocytes were analyzed by flow microfluorometry, using anti-T cell and anti-Ig reagents. Rabbit T cells and cells expressing surface Ig (B cells) appeared to belong to distinct subpopulations which could be separated on the basis of their selective adherence to nylon wool columns or to anti-Ig-coated dishes. Using flow microfluorometry, no evidence was obtained for the expression of a allotypes (VH framework) on T cells. Separated lymphocyte populations were functionally characterized using an in vitro proliferation assay. B and T cells from rabbit spleen or peripheral blood responded in a differential fashion to B and T cell-specific mitogens and to anti-Ig antibodies. Although such T cells did not respond upon stimulation with anti-Ig antibodies alone, significant proliferation could be induced by simultaneous addition of anti-Ig and T cell growth factor. In addition, activated T cells, derived from lymph nodes of immunized rabbits, generated a proliferative response upon stimulation with anti-Ig reagents alone. The above-mentioned effects on T cells could be obtained using heterologous anti-Ig antibodies or isologous anti-allotype antibodies, directed either against a allotypes (VH framework) or against b allotypes (kappa light chain). Antibodies against the Fc portion of rabbit Ig or against irrelevant allotypic specificities were ineffective in triggering T cells. Fab fragments from anti-allotype antibodies were equally stimulatory for T cells as compared to intact IgG, indicating that cross-linking of Ig-like molecules is not a necessary requirement for anti-Ig-induced T cell activation.
Network Coding Applications (2007)

Network Coding Applications looks at how ideas from network coding can have an impact on a number of new applications. Network coding is an elegant and novel technique introduced at the turn of the millennium to improve network throughput and performance. It is expected to be a critical technology for networks of the future. Today, more and more researchers and engineers ask what network coding is, what its benefits are, and how much it costs to design and operate networks implementing network coding. Network Coding Applications deals with wireless and content distribution networks, considered to be the most likely applications of network coding, and it also reviews emerging applications of network coding such as network monitoring and management. Multiple unicasts, security, networks with unreliable links, and quantum networks are also addressed. In tandem with the previous companion text on the theoretical foundations of network coding, Network Coding Applications provides the reader with a comprehensive state-of-the-art of this fast evolving research area.
Estimation of the covariance structure from SNP allele frequencies (2022)

We propose two new statistics, V and S, to disentangle the population history of related populations from SNP frequency data. If the populations are related by a tree, we show by theoretical means as well as by simulation that the new statistics are able to identify the root of a tree correctly, in contrast to standard statistics, such as the observed matrix of F2-statistics (distances between pairs of populations). The statistic V is obtained by averaging over all SNPs (similar to standard statistics). Its expectation is the true covariance matrix of the observed population SNP frequencies, offset by a matrix with identical entries. In contrast, the statistic S is put in a Bayesian context and is obtained by averaging over pairs of SNPs, such that each SNP is only used once. It thus makes use of the joint distribution of pairs of SNPs. In addition, we provide a number of novel mathematical results about old and new statistics, and their mutual relationship.
Digital Magnifying Glasses for Low-Vision Learners: Bringing Assistive Technologies to the Developing World (2017)

A student squinting to see the board or holding a textbook inches from his or her nose often provides the first indication of a visual impairment. For most, the cause is a refractive error, readily correctible with eyeglasses. However, for an estimated 40-65 million people globally with functional low vision, the fuzzy words pose a lifelong challenge.
A square dual polarization metahorn design (2011)

A square dual-polarization horn antenna with a thin metamaterial lining the walls is shown to provide low sidelobes, low cross-polarized radiation, and radiation patterns that are approximately independent of polarization. This horn represents a low cost alternative to corrugated and other soft feed horns. By operating a distance away from the resonance in the metamaterial, the liner introduces a minimum of loss to the horn.
Human lung-resident mucosal-associated invariant T cells are abundant, express antimicrobial proteins, and are cytokine responsive (2022)

Mucosal-associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are an innate-like T cell subset that recognize a broad array of microbial pathogens, including respiratory pathogens. Here we investigate the transcriptional profile of MAIT cells localized to the human lung, and postulate that MAIT cells may play a role in maintaining homeostasis at this mucosal barrier. Using the MR1/5-OP-RU tetramer, we identified MAIT cells and non-MAIT CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in lung tissue not suitable for transplant from human donors. We used RNA-sequencing of MAIT cells compared to non-MAIT CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells to define the transcriptome of MAIT cells in the human lung. We show that, as a population, lung MAIT cells are polycytotoxic, secrete the directly antimicrobial molecule IL-26, express genes associated with persistence, and selectively express cytokine and chemokine- related molecules distinct from other lung-resident CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, such as interferon-γ- and IL-12- receptors. These data highlight MAIT cells' predisposition to rapid pro-inflammatory cytokine responsiveness and antimicrobial mechanisms in human lung tissue, concordant with findings of blood-derived counterparts, and support a function for MAIT cells as early sensors in the defense of respiratory barrier function.
Hugh Watt House, Old Cold Harbor, Hanover County, VA (1935)

Significance: As this is an unpretentious farmhouse, it has little recorded architectural history. Hugh Watt was born in Flenairm, Antrim County, Ireland. After his father's death, with his mother, he emigrated to Richmond, Va. in 1790. On April 5, 1801, he married Sarah Bohannon Kidd. She inherited from her father, Pittman Kidd, a farm called Springdale in Hanover County about 13 miles from Richmond in 1832 (360 acres in one tract and 171 acres in another.) In 1833, her husband, Hugh Watt was declared legal joint owner. Before 1836, the buildings on the farm were assessed at $150.00. In 1836, the assessment was $928.90. It seems evident, therefore, that this building was completed in 1835. The youngest son, George Watt, came into possession of the property in 1865. The first recorded repairs were made to the house in 1935 after it had been purchased by the Battlefield Park Corporation and deeded to the Virginia State Conservation and Development Commission. The Federal Government accepted title to all the Richmond National Battlefield property, including the Watt house on July 14, 1944. The repairs in 1935 were done by the Richmond firm of Claiborne and Taylor, Inc. Second recorded repairs were done in November 1945. Complete restoration and modernization of the house is being undertaken by the National Park Service during the 1957 fiscal year. The historical significance of the house is two-fold. The first is architectural for it shows the continuance of an early type of Virginia farmhouse built in the 1830's. It demonstrates how difficult it is to date vernacular buildings constructed with traditional methods unless there is documentary material. ... The second claim to fame of the Watt house is that it was used for a few hours by Major General Fitz-John Porter as a field headquarters during the Battle of Gaines' Mill, June 27, 1862 during the War Between the States. It was chosen because of its high location. After the battle, it was used as a hospital, during the war.

Persistence of cervical high-risk human papillomavirus in women living with HIV in Denmark – the SHADE (2019)

This prospective cohort study of well-treated WLWH in Denmark found a high rate of persistent hrHPV infections with predominantly non-16/18 hrHPV genotypes. CD4 count < 350 cells/μL predicted hrHPV persistence, while prior AIDS predicted ≥HSIL.
Baculovirus gene regulation (1998)

Baculoviruses are lethal insect viruses, with a large genome (> 100 kb). Their replication involves two transcriptional phases separated by DNA replication. Early gene transcription is mediated by the cellular RNA polymerase II whereas late transcription is driven by a virus specific RNA polymerase. Description of this new -amanitin resistant ARN polymerase, is yet partial. Virus gene expression is regulated mainly at the transcription level. At the end of the cycle, two proteins, polyhedrin, the major component of inclusion bodies and P10, are highly produced. In the last years, as a consequence of the highly efficient synthesis of those two proteins, foreign protein expression systems have been developed.
Novel CF/sub 4/+H/sub 2/O ashing process for reduction of via resistance (2002)

This paper will describe the application of a new ashing chemistry incorporating H/sub 2/O and CF/sub 4/ for improved polymer strippability and reduced via resistance for deep submicron multilevel metalizations. Results are shown from integrating the ash into both 0.25 and 0.35 /spl mu/m ASIC processes.
A Bioengineered Human Skin Equivalent (HSE) for the Evaluation of Protectants (2006)

Estimation of permeation of compounds such as chemical warfare agents (CWAs) alone or through barrier creams such as SERPACWA (Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents) requires animal experiments or in vitro testing using animal or human skin. While animal skin does not reflect the same barrier properties as human skin, human skin poses problems of procurement, cost and large variations from donor to donor. Skin equivalents, such as the Human Skin Equivalent (HSE) developed in our laboratory, are in vitro cultured skin models that can be used for permeation/toxicity testing of compounds. The HSE is a full thickness skin equivalent that has been optimized by addition of various growth factors, such as ascorbic acid, lipids and a PPAR-alpha agonist. It has been characterized for morphology, lipid composition and barrier properties and compared to the commercially available skin equivalents. Compared to these, the HSE possesses closer lipid composition and barrier properties to human skin. The morphology shows a highly differentiated epidermis that provides a good barrier to the permeation of tested model agents such as caffeine. The HSE also provides lower variation in permeability data as compared to human cadaver skin and can be a consistent and reproducible model for permeability testing of agents.

Search for Charged Higgs Bosons Produced via Vector Boson Fusion and Decaying into a Pair of W and Z Bosons Using pp Collisions at s=13  TeV (2017)

A search for charged Higgs bosons produced via vector boson fusion and decaying into W and Z bosons using proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 15.2 fb^{-1} collected with the CMS detector in 2015 and 2016. The event selection requires three leptons (electrons or muons), two jets with large pseudorapidity separation and high dijet mass, and missing transverse momentum. The observation agrees with the standard model prediction. Limits on the vector boson fusion production cross section times branching fraction for new charged physical states are reported as a function of mass from 200 to 2000 GeV and interpreted in the context of Higgs triplet models.
Progress in Development of an Artificial Pancreas (2009)

This issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology contains a collection of 12 original articles describing the latest advances in the development of algorithms for controlling insulin delivery in an artificial pancreas. Algorithms presented in this issue are affected by numerous quantifiable factors, including insulin pharmaco-kinetics, timing of meal carbohydrate appearance, meal size, amount of exercise, presence of stress, day-to-day variations in insulin sensitivity, insulin time-activity profiles, accuracy of glucose monitor calibration, metabolic profiles of both adults and neonates, and risks of hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia. These articles present theoretical advances in insulin delivery algorithms from modeled in silico patients, as well as clinical data from actual patients who have used closed loop systems. The novel approaches described in these articles are expected to bring us much closer to realization of a commercially available closed loop system for controlling glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
Optimal Load Sharing In Distributed Real-time Systems (2005)

In hard real-time systems, the problem of scheduling periodic tasks to meet their deadlines has been studied extensively, but scheduling aperiodic tasks has been addressed far less, due mainly to their uncertain arrivals. The main intent of this paper is to derive an approximate, closedform solution for the decentralized, dynamic load sharing (LS) problem treated in our early paper [l]. Based on the derived solutions, we show that the probability of missing task deadlines can be kept below any required level while minimizing the communication overhead resulting from task transfers and state-information collection. Specifically, “optimal” threshold patterns and buddy set sizes are derived for different system loads by minimizing the communication overhead subject to a constraint of keeping the probabdity of missing task deadlines below any given level. (One can also derive optimal solutions by minimizing the probability of missing deadlines while keeping the communication overhead below a specified level.)
Multiple model framework of adaptive extended kalman filtering for predicting vehicle location (2006)

A multiple-model framework of adaptive extended Kalman filters (EKF) for predicting vehicle position with the aid of Global Positioning System (GPS) data is proposed to improve existing collision avoidance systems. A better prediction model for vehicle positions provides more accurate collision warnings in situations that current systems can not handle correctly. The multiple model adaptive estimation system (MMAE) algorithm is applied to the integration of GPS measurements to improve the efficiency and performance. This paper evaluates the multiple-model system in different scenarios and compares it to other systems before discussing possible improvements by combining it with other systems for predicting vehicle location
The Costs and Benefits of Nonoperative Management for Adult Scoliosis (2010)

This study questions the value of nonoperative treatment commonly used for adult scoliosis patients. Documented costs are substantial and no improvement in health status was observed. An important caveat is that treatment was not randomized and therefore the treatment group might have deteriorated if not for the treatment they received.
Impact of a Combustor–Turbine Interface on Turbine Vane Aerodynamics and Film Cooling (2020)

Abstract Optimizing the aerothermal performance of the combustor–turbine interface is an important factor in enhancing the efficiency of heavy-duty gas turbines. Also, it is a key requirement to fulfill the lifetime in this hottest area of the gas turbine. Typically transition pieces of can combustors induce a highly nonuniform swirling flow at the turbine inlet. In order to better understand the impact of the nonuniform combustor flow at the first stage vanes, a combined experimental and numerical study was carried out. The experimental facility consisted of a high-speed linear cascade with four vane passages, including an upstream transition piece, which was representative of a heavy-duty gas turbine can combustor–turbine interface geometry. The experiments were conducted at engine representative Mach numbers, and film cooling effectiveness measurements were performed at three different blowing ratios. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations were undertaken using a commercial flow solver. The numerical model was first validated with the experimental data, using inlet traverse five-hole probe measurements, pressure taps along the airfoil perimeter, and oil flow visualization results. The investigation shows that the position of the vane relative to the combustor transition piece has a significant impact on the vane aerodynamics and also film cooling behavior. This understanding was important for a robust first vane aerothermal design of the GT36.
Evaluation of crowd noise in Beaver Stadium during Penn State football games. (2010)

Sound pressure level measurements were made at Penn State (PSU) football games at Beaver Stadium, on the PSU campus, in Fall 2009. Twelve sound level meters were positioned around the field, on the press box, on the luxury suites, and outside the stadium to capture the characteristics of the crowd noise. The loudest portion of the sideline area was determined along with the maximum equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level. Additionally a HEAD VISOR acoustic array was utilized in conjunction with a portable white noise generator in order to determine which portions of the student section were generating the majority of the sound pressure on the field level. The results indicate which sections of students are able to most effectively project their voices onto the field.
