Optimized linear complementary codes implementation for hardware trojan prevention (2015)

Block codes have been shown to be a tool to thwart hardware trojan horses. The state of the electronic circuits is encoded thanks to a pair of complementary codes: one code prevents a purported hardware trojan horses from triggering, while the other one detects any kind of payload. The feasibility and the actual implementation of such defense has be presented thanks to LCD (Linear Complementary Dual) codes and to LCP (Linear Complementary Pair) of codes. In this paper, we optimize the representation of such codes in order to reduce the hardware overhead of the countermeasure.
Treatment of Spinal Pain Syndromes (1996)

Controlled studies of surgical and other invasive procedures to treat pain are few and far between. By their very nature, such procedures are not amenable to the study designs that have become standard in pharmacologic trials.1 Many of the procedures developed for pain management, therefore, have not been rigorously evaluated. Their study is confounded further both by the nature of pain, which is intrinsically subjective and difficult to quantify, and by the multifactorial nature of pain syndromes, which often involve psychological factors and coexisting social problems.Neurosurgical and interventional procedures to treat pain may be grouped in three categories: anatomical, . . .

A chiral induced ferroelectric liquid crystal phase transition with a vanishingly small enthalpy (1988)

Abstract Information on molecular interactions that give rise to the stabilization of various ferroelectric, liquid-crystalline mesophases is important to the realization of their potential utility in a wide variety of optical devices. Understanding the roles that optical activity and optical purity play in the formation and properties of the various smectic phases is therefore of particular interest. In order to study this relationship three new liquid-crystalline materials were prepared, one as a racemic mixture, the other two as the optically active analogues. The optically active isomers appear to exhibit a different mesophase morphology from the racemate. The chiral compounds apparently possess two extra ferroelectric mesophases in comparison to the racemic mixture. The transitions to and from these phases have extremely small enthalpies. An attempt is made to explain the results for the chiral compounds in terms of differing dipolar couplings in the chiral ferroelectric phases. In the racemic mixture these interactions are compromised or scrambled by a loss of asymmetry thus destabilizing these extra phases.
Polarized Raman microscopy of anisotropic stress relaxation in strained-Si-on-insulator stripes (2011)

Using a high-numerical-aperture lens, we studied strain relaxation in the [110]-oriented strained-silicon-on-insulator (SSOI) stripes. A complete set of Si optical phonon Raman bands was observed. For a 50 nm thick SSOI, the symmetrical biaxial tensile stress in a relatively wide stripe is found to transform to the uniaxial [110] stress at its edge. The same uniaxial stress is observed in the narrow stripes with widths &amp;lt;200 nm, the value, probably, being a critical width for a complete SSOI transverse stress relaxation.
1803 Ultrasonic measurement of Taylor-Couette vortex flow with small aspect ratio (2009)

In this study, our purpose is to obtain instantaneous and mean velocity profiles in a Taylor-Couette vortex flow(TVF) by using a ultrasonic measurement system. The experiment was carried out with a small aspect ratio where the Ekman boundary layer was not neglected. The device has a radial ratio of 0.667 or 0.375, aspect ratio of 3 and the gap length between the inner and outer cylinders of 25mm. The mean velocity profiles and their absolute values were in good agreement with those obtained with the ultrasonic velocity profiler (UVP). This measurement system was applied to the solid-liquid phase flow experimentally, and well measured even in the opaque dilute solution.

Antenna Design by Using Method of Moments (2005)

The theory of the method of moments (MoM), which has been widely used as a numerical technique for analyzing the characteristics of antennas and scatterers, is described. First, the steps of MoM to solve integral equations for conducting wires and planes are presented. It is pointed out that MoM combined with Galerkin's method yields highly accurate results. The importance of ensuring the continuity condition of current on conducting bodies is emphasized and numerical examples for a conducting structure involving junctions of wire segments and planar segments are presented. Finally, MoM for dielectric scatterers including recent developments is described.
Epitope-Enhanced Conserved HIV-1 Peptide Protects HLA-A2-Transgenic Mice Against Virus Expressing HIV-1 Antigen (2003)

HIV epitopes may have developed to be poor immunogens. As a counterapproach HIV vaccine strategy, we used epitope enhancement of a conserved HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) epitope for induction of antiviral protection in HLA-A2-transgenic mice mediated by human HLA-A2-restricted CTLs. We designed two epitope-enhanced peptides based on affinity for HLA-A2, one substituted in anchor residues (RT-2L9V) and the other also with tyrosine at position 1 (RT-1Y2L9V), and examined the balance between HLA binding and T cell recognition. CTL lines and bulk cultures in two HLA-A2-transgenic mouse strains showed that RT-2L9V was more effective in inducing CTL reactive with wild-type Ag than RT-1Y2L9V, despite the higher affinity of the latter, because the 1Y substitution unexpectedly altered T cell recognition. Accordingly, RT-2L9V afforded the greatest protection in vivo against a surrogate virus expressing HIV-1 RT mediated by HLA-A2-restricted CTL in a mouse in which all CTL are restricted to only the human HLA molecule. Such antiviral protection has not been previously achieved with an HLA epitope-enhanced vaccine. These findings define a critical balance between MHC affinity and receptor cross-reactivity required for effective epitope enhancement and also demonstrate construction and efficacy of such a component of a new generation vaccine.
Protective CD8+ T-cell responses to cytomegalovirus driven by rAAV/GFP/IE1 loading of dendritic cells (2008)

In summary, single PBMC stimulation with rAAV/IE1 pulsed DCs induces strong antigen specific-CTL generation. CTLs were capable to lyse low doses of peptides pulsed into target cells. These data suggest that AAV-based antigen loading of DCs is highly effective for generating human CTL responses against HCMV antigens.
Data from The Gut Microbiome Associates with Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Outcomes in Patients with Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;The gut microbiome (GM) plays an important role in shaping systemic immune responses and influences immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy. Antibiotics worsen clinical outcomes in patients receiving ICI. However, whether GM profiling and baseline antibiotic can be a biomarker of ICI efficacy in advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unknown. We prospectively collected baseline (pre-ICI) fecal samples and clinical data of 70 Japanese patients suffering from advanced NSCLC and treated them with anti–PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies as a first-line or treatment-refractory therapy. We performed 16S rRNA V3–V4 sequencing of gene amplicons of fecal samples, and bacteria diversity and differential abundance analysis was performed. The clinical endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and immune-related adverse events (irAE). ORR was 34%, and median PFS and OS were 5.2 and 16.2 months, respectively. Patients who received pre-ICI antibiotic had lower alpha diversity at baseline and underrepresentation of &lt;i&gt;Ruminococcaceae&lt;/i&gt; UCG 13 and &lt;i&gt;Agathobacter&lt;/i&gt;. When analyzing antibiotic-free patients, alpha diversity correlated with OS. In addition, &lt;i&gt;Ruminococcaceae&lt;/i&gt; UCG 13 and &lt;i&gt;Agathobacter&lt;/i&gt; were enriched in patients with favorable ORR and PFS &gt;6 months. &lt;i&gt;Ruminococcaceae&lt;/i&gt; UCG 13 was enriched in patients with OS &gt;12 months. GM differences were observed between patients who experienced low- versus high-grade irAE. We demonstrated the negative influence of antibiotic on the GM composition and identified the bacteria repertoire in patients experiencing favorable responses to ICI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;See articles by Tomita et al., p. 1236, and Peng et al., p. 1251&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
TESTING AND EVALUATION OF RECYCLED MATERIALS IN ROADSIDE SAFETY DEVICES (2001)

This report summarizes the third phase of a three-phase research program intended to evaluate the use of recycled materials in roadside safety devices. In the first phase of the study, information regarding recycled material manufacturers and their products was acquired through a literature review. The information received was categorized into two areas: (1) commercially available roadside safety products and traffic control devices having the potential for immediate implementation, and (2) other products and materials not specifically designed for use in roadside safety devices but having the possibility of use in such applications. In the second phase of this study, researchers used a series of static and dynamic laboratory tests to further evaluate those products lacking the desired data to make conclusive decisions regarding their suitability for implementation. Tests of conventional materials commonly used in nationally approved roadside safety devices provided baseline performance data. For those products displaying inadequate performance when compared to baseline performance, necessary improvements were made. The Phase II test data were used to prioritize and select the most promising recycled materials and products for further investigation of their impact performance under Phase III of this study. Phase III consists of full-scale crash testing of selected products to validate laboratory results and verify their crashworthiness. The research team evaluated three products for use as temporary sign supports. Another product was evaluated for use as guardrail posts and offset blocks in strong post W-beam guardrail systems. Descriptions of the test installations, results of the full-scale crash tests, and conclusions regarding impact performance are summarized in this report.
Operator-Defined Reconfigurable Network OS for Software-Defined Networks (2019)

Barista is a novel architecture that seeks to enable flexible and customizable instantiations of network operating systems (NOSs) for software-defined networks (SDNs). As the NOS is the strategic control center of an SDN, implementing logic for management of network switches as well as higher-level applications, its design is critical to the welfare of the network. In this paper, we focus on three aspects of composable controller design: component synthesis, dynamic event control, and predictive NOS assessment. First, the modular design of the Barista enables flexible composition of functionalities prevalent in contemporary SDN controllers. Second, its event handling mechanism enables dynamic customization of control flows in a NOS. Third, its predictive NOS assessment helps to discover the optimal composition for the requirements specified by operators. These capabilities allow Barista operators to optimally select functionalities and dynamically handle events for their operating requirements while maximizing the resource utilization of the given system. Our results demonstrate that Barista can synthesize NOSs with many functionalities found in commodity controllers with competitive performance profiles.
Serum α-Fetoprotein: Diagnostic Significance in Liver Disease (1974)

Raised serum alpha-fetoprotein levels measured by radioimmunoassay were found in 19 out of 24 (79%) patients with primary liver cancer and in 32 out of 311 (10%) patients with other liver diseases. The rise was transient in cases of hepatitis and a transient rise was also seen after alcohol intake ceased in two patients with cirrhosis. alpha-Fetoprotein levels exceeding 500 ng/ml were 30-50 times more common in primary liver cancer than in other liver diseases. A rise in level seems to reflect the extent of liver regeneration in liver diseases other than primary cancer.
Plan-view TEM observation of a single-domain κ -Ga 2 O 3 thin film grown on ε -GaFeO 3 substrate using GaCl 3 precursor by mist chemical vapor deposition (2021)

Abstract We demonstrated the growth of a single-domain κ -Ga 2 O 3 thin film on ε -GaFeO 3 by using an organic-free compound as a precursor for mist chemical vapor deposition. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that an 86 nm thick κ -Ga 2 O 3 thin film was grown almost coherently with slight lattice relaxation. The surface morphology of the κ -Ga 2 O 3 thin film exhibited a step-terrace structure without island growth. Furthermore, plan-view TEM observations revealed that the κ -Ga 2 O 3 thin film grown on ε -GaFeO 3 had a single domain, whereas the previously reported κ -Ga 2 O 3 thin film grown on AlN template had a domain structure.

PLC-based mode multi/demultiplexer for MDM transmission (2013)

We propose a PLC-based multi/demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) with a mode conversion function for mode division multiplexing (MDM) transmission applications. The PLC-based mode MUX/DEMUX can realize a low insertion loss and a wide working wavelength bandwidth. We designed and demonstrated a two-mode (LP<sub>01</sub> and LP<sub>11</sub> modes) and a three-mode (LP<sub>01</sub>, LP<sub>11</sub>, and LP<sub>21</sub> modes) MUX/DEMUX for use in the C-band.
An Increase in Sinus Rate Following Radiofrequency Energy Application in the Posteroseptal Space (1998)

An increase in sinus rate has been previously described in patients with AV node reentry (AVNRT) following successful AV node modification. This increase could either be a specific sign of elimination of slow pathway conduction or it could be a consequence of energy application in the posteroseptal area. Thus, we compared the changes in sinus cycle length following successful slow pathway ablation (defined as complete elimination of dual AV node physiology) in patients having AVNRT with those in patients undergoing successful ablation of a posteroseptal atrioventricular accessory connection. Twenty five patients (16 women and 9 men, mean age 41 +/- 4 years) with typical AVNRT (cycle length 378 +/- 12 ms) and 29 patients (16 women and 13 men, age 34 +/- 5 years) with an accessory connection (17 manifest and 12 concealed) were studied. The electrophysiology study was performed during sedation with Fentanyl and Midazolam. The mean number of energy applications was 3 +/- 1 for successful slow pathway ablation and 4 +/- 1 for successful ablation of the accessory connection (p:NS). Following the successful energy application, the sinus cycle length decreased significantly 776 ms at baseline to 691 ms in patients with AVNRT. Following successful ablation of the posteroseptal AC, sinus cycle length decreased from 755 ms at baseline to 664 ms (p < 0.05 in both groups [difference between groups not significant]). The decrease in sinus cycle length did not correlate with the number of RF energy applications required for successful ablation or the total energy delivered. In conclusion, ablation of the AV node slow pathway and a posteroseptal accessory connection results in similar increases in the sinus rate. Thus, the increase in sinus rate is probably due to energy application in the posteroseptal space, possibly due to concomitant destruction of vagal inputs, and it is not specific for elimination of slow pathway conduction.
Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequence analysis of encoded anti-insect toxin BotIT2 from the scorpion Buthus occitanus tunetanus venom. (2003)

Numerous toxins from scorpion venoms are much more toxic to insects than to other animal classes, and possess high affinity to Na+ channels. Many of them active on insects were purified from the venom of Buthus occitanus tunetanus. Using amino acid sequences of BotIT2 and RACE-PCR amplification (Rapid amplification of cDNA ends) technique, we isolated, identified and sequenced the nucleotide sequence from the venom glands of the scorpion Buthus occitanus tunetanus. The cDNA encodes a precursor of an insect toxin of 60 amino acid residues. The deduced nucleotide sequence toxin was identical to the determined amino acid sequence of BotIT2. BotIT2 is more similar to the excitatory toxins in its mode of action and to the depressant toxins in its primary structure.
PEGylation of silver nanoparticles by physisorption of cyclic poly(ethylene glycol) for enhanced dispersion stability, antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxicity (2021)

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are practically valuable in biological applications. However, no steady PEGylation has been established, which is essential for internal use in humans or animals. In this study, cyclic PEG (<i>c</i>-PEG) without any chemical inhomogeneity is physisorbed onto AgNPs to successfully PEGylate and drastically enhance the dispersion stability against physiological conditions, white light, and high temperature. In contrast, linear HO-PEG-OH and MeO-PEG-OMe do not confer stability to AgNPs, and HS-PEG-OMe, which is often used for gold nanoparticles, sulfidates the surface to considerably degrade the properties. TEM shows an essentially intact nanostructure of <i>c</i>-PEG-physisorbed AgNPs even after heating at 95 °C, while complete disturbance is observed for other AgNPs. Molecular weight- and concentration-dependent stabilization by <i>c</i>-PEG is investigated, and DLS and <i>ζ</i>-potential measurements prove the formation of a <i>c</i>-PEG layer on the surface of AgNPs. Furthermore, <i>c</i>-PEG-physisorbed AgNPs exhibit persistent antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity.
A Mechanistic Investigation of the Carbon−Carbon Bond Cleavage of Aryl and Alkyl Cyanides Using a Cationic Rh(III) Silyl Complex (2003)

Cationic Rh(III) complex [Cp(PMe(3))Rh(SiPh(3))(CH(2)Cl(2))]BAr(4)' (1) activates the carbon-carbon bond of aryl and alkyl cyanides (R-CN, where R = Ph, (4-(CF(3))C(6)H(4)), (4-(OMe)C(6)H(4)), Me, (i)Pr, (t)Bu) to produce complexes of the general formula [Cp*(PMe(3))Rh(R)(CNSiPh(3))]BAr(4)'. With the exception of the (t)BuCN case, every reaction proceeds at room temperature (t(1/2) < 1 h for aryl cyanides, t(1/2) < 14 h for alkyl cyanides). A general mechanism is presented on the basis of (1) an X-ray crystal structure determination of an intermediate isolated from the reaction involving 4-methoxybenzonitrile and (2) kinetic studies performed on the C-C bond cleavage of para-substituted aryl cyanides. Initial formation of an eta(1)-nitrile species is observed, followed by conversion to an eta(2)-iminoacyl intermediate, which was observed to undergo migration of R (aryl or alkyl) to rhodium to form the product [Cp*(PMe(3))Rh(R)(CNSiPh(3))]BAr(4)'.
Size dependence of electron spin dephasing in InGaAs quantum dots (2015)

We investigate ensemble electron spin dephasing in self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) of different lateral sizes by employing optical Hanle measurements. Using low excitation power, we are able to obtain a spin dephasing time T2* (in the order of ns) of the resident electron after recombination of negative trions in the QDs. We show that T2* is determined by the hyperfine field arising from the frozen fluctuation of nuclear spins, which scales with the size of QDs following the Merkulov-Efros-Rosen model. This scaling no longer holds in large QDs, most likely due to a breakdown in the lateral electron confinement.
