Aortic Root Remodeling Over the Adult Life Course (2010)

These longitudinal community-based data show that aortic root remodeling occurs over mid to late adulthood and is principally associated with age, sex, body size, and blood pressure. The underlying basis for these differences and implications for the development of cardiovascular events deserve further study.
Digital optical processing of optical communications: towards an Optical Turing Machine (2017)

Abstract Optical computing is needed to support Tb/s in‐network processing in a way that unifies communication and computation using a single data representation that supports in‐transit network packet processing, security, and big data filtering. Support for optical computation of this sort requires leveraging the native properties of optical wave mixing to enable computation and switching for programmability. As a consequence, data must be encoded digitally as phase (M‐PSK), semantics‐preserving regeneration is the key to high‐order computation, and data processing at Tb/s rates requires mixing. Experiments have demonstrated viable approaches to phase squeezing and power restoration. This work led our team to develop the first serial, optical Internet hop‐count decrement, and to design and simulate optical circuits for calculating the Internet checksum and multiplexing Internet packets. The current exploration focuses on limited‐lookback computational models to reduce the need for permanent storage and hybrid nanophotonic circuits that combine phase‐aligned comb sources, non‐linear mixing, and switching on the same substrate to avoid the macroscopic effects that hamper benchtop prototypes.
Towards Effective Business Process Availability Management (2011)

In this paper, we present a decision-support framework for managing the business process unavailability caused by the planned maintenance activities of the underlying infrastructure components such as software and hardware upgrades and patch application. The framework has two parts: first part provides an approach for estimating the business impact of business process outages. Four business impact factors are defined consisting of quantitative and qualitative metrics. Total business impact involves combining the individual impacts on business for various countries affected by the outages within a company. We apply multi-attribute utility theory to combine the values of impact factors. In the second part, optimal schedules for process maintenance activities are computed to minimize the overall estimated business impact using a sliding-window based scheduling algorithm. Finally, the schedules and their business impact are presented to the decision maker in a visual environment that is conducive for effective decision making. A prototype of the system has been developed and is currently being evaluated for use in a large Dow Jones (Top 10) company.
Development of Ergonomic User Interfaces for the Human Integration in Cyber-Physical Systems (2019)

Digitalization is transforming the worldwide economy. In such digital transformation the human integration in CPS assumes a crucial importance, complemented with some key enabling technologies like IoT, cloud computing, big data and machine learning. In this context, user interfaces are used to collect data and to monitor and control the systems, being required to use design and ergonomics guidelines, as well as user expirience, for their deployment in industrial enviroments. This paper describes the use of friendly and ergonomic user interfaces to support the human integration at operational and strategic level, aligned with the Industry 4.0 context, for an industrial metal stamping unit.

With the aim of fabricating a thermoelectric power device using III-nitride semiconductors, we recently studied thermoelectric properties of Al1−xInxN and Al1−y−zGayInzN prepared by rf sputtering. For Al0.35In0.65N with 0.63-μm thickness, the maximum power factor was 3.63×10−4 W/mK2. For Al0.26Ga0.44In0.30N, the maximum power factor was 5.58×10−5 W/mK2.
Dynamic change of gene-to-gene regulatory networks in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (2020)

The current pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has caused extensive damage to society. The characterization of SARS-CoV-2 profiles has been addressed by researchers globally with the aim of resolving this disruptive crisis. This investigation process is indispensable for an understanding of how SARS-CoV-2 behaves in human host cells. However, little is known about the systematic molecular mechanisms involved in the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human host cells. Here, we have presented gene-to-gene regulatory networks in response to SARS-CoV-2 using a Bayesian network. We examined the dynamic changes of the SARS-CoV-2-purturbated networks established by our proposed framework for gene network analysis, revealing that interferon signaling gradually switches to the subsequent inflammatory-cytokine signaling cascades. Furthermore, we have succeeded in capturing a COVID-19 patient-specific network in which transduction of these signalings is coincidently induced. This enabled us to explore local regulatory systems influenced by SARS-CoV-2 in host cells more precisely at an individual level. Our panel of network analyses has provided new insight into SARS-CoV-2 research from the perspective of cellular systems.
Gan-on-diamond wafers: Recent developments (2015)

Development and Recommendations for a Non-Proprietary, High-Tension, Cable End Terminal System (2012)

Cable guardrail systems have been increasing in popularity in recent years due to several perceived benefits over the commonly used W-beam guardrail. A non-proprietary design was desired as an alternative to the many proprietary designs available. A non-proprietary, high-tension cable end terminal was necessary to accompany the non-proprietary, high-tension cable guardrail system under development. The objective of this research project was to develop design recommendations for a non-proprietary, high-tension cable end terminal. An analysis of several cable guardrail end terminals was undertaken to identify any common features that may prove to be beneficial or detrimental to end terminal designs. Next, a study of the non-proprietary low-tension system was conducted to determine the cause of vehicle instabilities in full-scale testing. Since the high-tension and low-tension cable end terminal designs are similar, it is likely that any issues with the low-tension design will also be evident in testing of the high-tension design. LS-DYNA modeling of current cable terminal anchor hardware was then accomplished and compared to bogie testing results. The anchor model proved to be sufficiently accurate to preliminarily analyze alternative cable anchor designs. A final, optimized, high-tension cable anchor design was produced along with alternative terminal post recommendations for continuing development of the non-proprietary, high-tension cable end terminal.

Broad influenza-specific CD8+ T-cell responses in humanized mice vaccinated with influenza virus vaccines (2008)

The development of novel human vaccines would be greatly facilitated by the development of in vivo models that permit preclinical analysis of human immune responses. Here, we show that nonobese diabetic severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) beta(2) microglobulin(-/-) mice, engrafted with human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors and further reconstituted with T cells, can mount specific immune responses against influenza virus vaccines. Live attenuated trivalent influenza virus vaccine induces expansion of CD8+ T cells specific to influenza matrix protein (FluM1) and nonstructural protein 1 in blood, spleen, and lungs. On ex vivo exposure to influenza antigens, antigen-specific CD8+ T cells produce IFN-gamma and express cell-surface CD107a. FluM1-specific CD8+ T cells can be also expanded in mice vaccinated with inactivated trivalent influenza virus vaccine. Expansion of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells is dependent on reconstitution of the human myeloid compartment. Thus, this humanized mouse model permits preclinical testing of vaccines designed to induce cellular immunity, including those against influenza virus. Furthermore, this work sets the stage for systematic analysis of the in vivo functions of human DCs. This, in turn, will allow a new approach to the rational design and preclinical testing of vaccines that cannot be tested in human volunteers.
Electrical Characterization of High Voltage 4H-SiC pin Diodes Fabricated Using a Low Basal-Plane Dislocations Process (2007)

Forward current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and non-equilibrium carrier lifetime, τ were measured in 4H-SiC pin diodes (10-kV rated, 100 μm base width). The τ value was found to be 3.7 μs at room temperature by measurements of open circuit voltage decay. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the above lifetime value is the highest reported for 4H-SiC. The forward voltage drops were measured to be 3.44 V at current density of 100 A/cm2 and 5.45 V at 1000 A/cm2 showing a very deep modulation of the blocking base by injected carriers. Diodes operated well at elevated temperatures up to 400oC. No essential forward degradation was detected after 300- A×min current stress at 400oC.
Energy-efficient HOG-based object detection at 1080HD 60 fps with multi-scale support (2014)

In this paper, we present a real-time and energy-efficient multi-scale object detector using Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification. Parallel detectors with balanced workload are used to enable processing of multiple scales and increase the throughput such that voltage scaling can be applied to reduce energy consumption. Image pre-processing is also introduced to further reduce power and area cost of the image scales generation. This design can operate on high definition 1080HD video at 60 fps in real-time with a clock rate of 270 MHz, and consumes 45.3 mW (0.36 nJ/pixel) based on post-layout simulations. The ASIC has an area of 490 kgates and 0.538 Mbit on-chip memory in a 45nm SOI CMOS process.
Car style recognition 1990-2010 (2015)

The aim of this research is to identify the user recognition towards the car style in the market
line up. To study the car style line up, a certain duration of the period that can show the car style changes
need to be observed. It is due to a car style changes happen at least within a year or more. This research
will support the designer in their quite long time of design development process. The survey one
(I) was done to observe the changes of car form in a series. 155 types of Japanese 2-box car with 248
models, which released in the mass-production from 1990 until 2010, were selected as the samples.
Twenty types of ratios based on the car specifications and basic scales were collected and analyzed by
Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The result of the survey one (I) showed that the first until seventh
components with 76.13 % of cumulative percentage of the total variance explain were taken for further
analysis. Two-box car style changes are towards the improvement on efficiency of space usage. The
car style is towards cubical, and the A-pillar position is moving to the front of car engine area. Then, the
survey two (II) was done to get the user evaluation towards the car style changes. Ten Japanese who
are in 20 to 25 years old were chosen as the respondents. Collected data was analyzed by MDS (Multidimensional
Scaling) and Cluster analysis. Four kinds of groups were identified, which were ‘long body’,
‘wagon’, ‘high and long body’ and ‘high and box’. The results from both surveys were analyzed in detail.
The user recognized the car style direction similar with the actual car style changes in the market line
up. The user recognition on the car style has a similar direction towards the actual car style changes
that released in the market.
Novel therapies for high-grade gliomas: A vision for future (2012)

Abstract The treatment for high-grade glioma remains an enigma. The standard treatment using surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy for such highly malignant lesions has only yielded modest results, in terms of survival and improving the quality of life of patients. Less than 10% of such patients survive beyond two years. All conventional therapies have failed to increase the survival beyond this extent. There has been a growing interest in the molecular approaches for the treatment of high-grade gliomas which include gene therapy, oncolytic virotherapy, and immunotherapy. These new therapies are in preclinical and investigational stages. They may not substitute the conventional therapies; they may not be the ultimate elixir for this deadly disease. However, in the coming years, they are likely to have synergistic and complimentary roles alongside conventional therapies. Through this paper, we have attempted to highlight the rationale behind gene therapy which can be used for cytotoxic approaches, immunomodulation strategy, and targeted toxin delivery in the tumor cell. We have reviewed current available literature and through this paper focus on reporting such therapeutic options, their potential usage, benefits and limitations.
Germanium content dependence of radiation damage in strained Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ epitaxial devices (1994)

The irradiation damage in n/sup +/-Si/p/sup +/-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x/ epitaxial diodes and n/sup +/-Si/p/sup +/-Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x//n-Si epitaxial heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) by fast neutrons and MeV electrons is studied as a function of fluence and germanium content for the first time. The degradation of the electrical performance of both diodes and HBTs by irradiation increases with increasing fluence, while it decreases with increasing germanium content. The damage coefficient of reverse current for x=0.12 and 0.16 diodes irradiated by neutrons is calculated to be 6.2/spl times/10/sup -21/ and 5.5/spl times/10/sup -21/ n/sup -1/ A cm/sup 2/, respectively. That of h/sub FE/ for electron-irradiated x=0.08, 0.12 and 0.16 HBTs is 7.6/spl times/10/sup -16/, 2.7/spl times/10/sup -16/ and 1.6/spl times/10/sup -16/ s/sup -1/ cm/sup 2/ respectively.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

PATRON: A Pragmatic Approach for Encoding Laser Fault Injection Resistant FSMs (2021)

Since Finite State Machines (FSMs) regulate the overall operations in majority of the digital systems, the security of an entire system can be jeopardized if the FSM is vulnerable to physical attacks. By injecting faults into an FSM, an attacker can attain unauthorized access to sensitive states, resulting in information leakage and privilege escalation. One of the powerful fault injection techniques is laser-based fault injection (LFI), which enables an adversary to alter states of individual flip-flops. While standard error correction/detection techniques have been used to protect the FSMs from such fault attacks, their significant overhead makes them unattractive to designers. To keep the overhead minimal, we propose a novel FSM encoding scheme based on decision diagrams that utilizes don't-care states of the FSM. We demonstrate that PATRON outperforms conventional encoding schemes in terms of both security and scalability for popular benchmarks. Finally, we introduce a vulnerability metric to aid the security analysis, which precisely manifests the susceptibility of FSM designs.
A dual-Vt layout approach for statistical leakage variability minimization in nanometer CMOS (2006)

Process parameter variations cause large changes in the delay and the leakage power consumption of scaled nanometer CMOS circuits. In this paper, the problem of leakage power variation minimization in the presence of spatially correlated across-die process variations is addressed. It is shown that with minimal impact on delay, the placement of low-Vt gates in a layout can be performed in such a way to maximize the yield for a specified leakage power upper bound. For the obtained placement of low Vt gates, the layout can then be optimized for other important criteria such as wire length. Simulation of across-die variations for ISCAS benchmarks is performed and guidelines for distributing the low-Vt gates across the die are developed.
Electron detection performance of diamond avalanche diode (2010)

The authors evaluated the electron detection performance of a diamond avalanche diode (DAD) detector. In the electrode region, the gain was uniformly about 103 with little noise. Meanwhile, an avalanche multiplication occurred locally. In the avalanche region, a total gain of 5×104 was obtained. In some regions where the electric field is regarded to be intensified, the avalanche multiplication gain was estimated to be approximately 100–300, and the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) was nearly equal to 1. The DAD can be applied to an electron detector for a scanning electron microscope due to its high gain and small dark current. However, it is necessary to improve the S/N and homogenize the gain to use the DAD detector as an electron detector.
1Higher Rank Interference Effect on Weak Beamforming or OSTBC Terminals (2016)

User performance on a wireless network depends on whether a neighboring cochannel interferer applies a single (spatial) stream or a multi stream transmission. This work analyzes the impact of interference rank on a beamforming and orthogonal space-time block coded (OSTBC) user transmission. We generalize existing analytical results on signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) distribution and outage probability under arbitrary number of unequal power interferers. We show that higher rank interference causes lower outage probability, and can support better outage threshold especially in the case of beamforming.
Abstract 157: Unique Features of Cortical Bone Stem Cells Associated With Enhanced Cardiac Repair (2014)

Rationale: Adoptive transfer of multiple stem cell types into failing human hearts has demonstrated modest beneficial effects in patients with cardiovascular disorders that damage the heart. Despite increasing use of stem cell based therapies, consensus on the optimal stem cell type is still not clear. Modest repair and improvement in cardiac function in patients with cardiac complications warrants identification of a novel stem cell population that possesses enhanced proliferative capacity and can effectively survives the harsh myocardial environment. Objective: To characterize surface marker expression, proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation capacity of CBSCs relative to known and extensively studied stem cell types including MSCs and CDCs. Methods and Results: CBSCs, MSCs and CDCs were isolated from Gottingen miniswine. CBSCs possess a unique cell surface marker profile versus CDCs and MSCs. Additionally CBSCs were morphologically distinct from MSCs and CDCs and showed enhanced proliferation capacity versus CDCs and MSCs. Concurrently CBSCs had significantly increased percentage of survival after exposure to an apoptotic stimuli as compared to MSC. A significantly greater percentage of CBSCs expressed markers of cardiac lineage commitment. Additionally, CBSCs can form functional gap junction with adult ventricular myocytes. CBSCs, CDCs and MSCs showed differential response towards ATP and histamine further strengthening the differences between the three cell types. Conclusion: CBSCs have enhanced proliferative capacity and cardiac lineage commitment versus CDCs and MSCs that could account for their enhanced effects on cardiac regeneration after myocardial infarction. Ultimately, this understanding would help us to develop viable cellular therapy options for treatment of heart failure patients.
