Numerical Studies for Magneto-Acousto-Electrical Tomography with Magnetic Field Measurement Using Linear Frequency Modulated Excitation (2022)

Magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) is an imaging method based on measurements of the electric current induced by the Lorentz force. This current is generated when an acoustic wave propagates through a conducting body in the presence of a static magnetic field. The resulting current generates an electric potential and magnetic field distribution on the body surface. The surface potential measured by electrodes placed on the body or the magnetic fields measured by receiver coils placed near the body are used to reconstruct the electrical properties of tissues. In this study, the feasibility of the pulse compression method to the MAET with magnetic field measurement is investigated through numerical studies. A numerical breast model with a tumor inhomogeneity is formed. In order to apply the pulse compression method, a linear frequency modulated (LFM) excitation signal is applied to the ultrasound transducer. Additive white Gaussian noise is added to the MAET signal detected by the coils. In this case, the signal-to-noise ratio is increased by using a matched filter of pulse compression method and it is shown that MAET signals of a 2 mm x 2 mm tumor can be obtained. Moreover, the axial resolution that can be obtained with a conventional single pulse excitation can be achieved with the bandwidth selected in the applied LFM excitation signal.
Proof-of-Concept of Distributed Optimization of Micro-Services on Edge Computing for Beyond 5G (2022)

3G and 4G mobile services have become widespread in our lifecycle, and expectations for a better quality of throughput/latency experience are being placed to 5G era. In recent two years, 5G pilot services have been launched to deal with the drastic increase in mobile devices and application types. However, since 5G adopts a higher frequency than conventional 3G/4G, base stations must be densified. Therefore, virtualization resources for softwarization in various technologies (e.g., Virtualized RAN (Radio Access Network), Virtualized Core, Virtualized Applications) are more appreciated. In this research, we focus on edge computing, which is one of the cores of Beyond 5G, to utilize the virtualization resources. Critical potentials of edge computing are traffic reduction, low latency, and high security for mobile networks. However, various studies were made based only on numerical analysis or parts of the trial of the experiment due to a lack of technical preparation for end-to-end (E2E) environments (e.g., devices, RAN, Core, applications, human resources) with software/hardware flexibility. To show the state-of-the-art edge computing for Beyond 5G (B5G), we established a true E2E B5G Edge Cloud in Ookayama Campus of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. In addition, focusing on the effective use of computation resources in Edge Clouds as an advantage of edge computing, we proposed a cloud-native with network function deployment architecture for computation resource sharing in different Edge Clouds. Specifically, we focused on Virtualized CU (Central Unit) in RAN and proposed to operate CU-CP (Control Plane) and CU-UP (User Plane) in different Edge Cloud. Its feasibility is validated through a measurement.
Characteristics of period doubling in the human cone flicker electroretinogram (2005)

Electroretinogram (ERG) responses of the cone system to a flickering stimulus can exhibit a cyclic variation in amplitude. This phenomenon of synchronous period doubling has been attributed to a nonlinear feedback mechanism within the retina that alters response gain. The aim of the present study was to investigate intersubject variability in period doubling in the ERG of the human cone system, and to assess the implications of this variability for signal processing within the retina. Period doubling was examined in a group of 12 visually normal subjects, using sinusoidal full-field flicker and harmonic analysis of the ERG waveforms. For all subjects, the ERG responses to 32-Hz flicker (a frequency commonly used clinically) were characterized by a harmonic component at the stimulus frequency and at higher harmonics that were integral multiples of the stimulus frequency, as expected. In addition, six of the subjects showed period doubling at 32 Hz, characterized by harmonic components at integer multiples of a frequency that was half the stimulus frequency (the subharmonic). However, the subharmonic itself did not exceed the noise level. These findings suggest that the subharmonic is generated prior to or at the site that produces the nonlinear higher harmonics of the ERG response, and that a subsequent band-pass filter attenuates this subharmonic. Examination of harmonic components of the subjects' ERG waveforms at other stimulus frequencies, as well as a cycle-by-cycle analysis of the ERG waveforms, suggested that individual differences in period doubling may be due to intersubject variation in the strength of the hypothesized feedback signal and/or the time constant of its decay.
A novel cancer/testis antigen KP-OVA-52 identified by SEREX in human ovarian cancer is regulated by DNA methylation (2012)

SEREX has proven to be a powerful method that takes advantage of the presence of spontaneous humoral immune response in some cancer patients. In this study, immunoscreening of normal testis and two ovarian cancer cell line cDNA expression libraries with sera from ovarian cancer patients led to the isolation of 75 independent antigens, designated KP-OVA-1 through KP-OVA-75. Of these, RT-PCR showed KP-OVA-52 to be expressed strongly in normal testis, in ovarian cancer cell lines (3/9) and in ovarian cancer tissues (1/17). The expression of KP-OVA-52 in cancer cells is also induced by the demethylating agent 5‑aza‑2'‑deoxycytidine (ADC). To test immunogenicity, we used the Serum Antibody Detection Assay (SADA) to analyze anti-IgG antibodies against the 75 antigens that were initially isolated by SEREX. Four of the 75 antigens (KP‑OVA‑25, KP‑OVA‑35, KP‑OVA‑68 and KP‑OVA‑73) reacted exclusively with sera from cancer patients. However, KP‑OVA‑52 reacted with 1 of 20 ovarian cancer sera. These data suggest that the KP-OVA-52 can be considered a novel CT antigen that is regulated by DNA methylation.
Oxidation vonsec,sec-1,2-Diolen zu 1,2-Diketonen unter Pfitzner-Moffatt-Bedingungen (1987)

Oxidation of sec, sec-1,2-Diols to 1,2-Diketones under Pfitzner-Moffatt-Conditions In contrast to many other oxidation methods, the "Pfitzner-Moffatt" technique converts sec, sec-1,2-diols 1 into 1,2-diketones 2 without any C - C bond cleavage. Other functional groups like oletinic double bonds or esters are not affected under the mild and almost neutral reaction conditions.
Simulation and Optimization Research of the Actuator for Soft-Close Automatic Car Doors (2014)

Based on the current design of actuator for soft-close automatic car doors, function and composition of the mechanical assembly and the electronic control module of the actuator are elaborated firstly. Then the push travel section of cam profile is optimized from previous circular arcs to a spline curve to reduce impact and fatigue wear between the switch and the cam in the mechanical assembly through multi-body dynamics simulation with the Adams solving tool in NX7.5. Besides, an improvement of the MOSFET bridge drive circuit and corresponding program design through dead-time control method with half-bridge chopper are applied to solve the heating problem in the electronic control module, in the light of equivalent electronic circuit simulation in Multisim. The results demonstrate that the optimization works well, and valuable conclusions can be drawn from system simulation during the prototype stage of the actuator product is practicable.
Venovenous bypass in renal cell carcinoma with caval tumor thrombus. (1995)

We describe two patients with a T3bN2M0 renal cell carcinoma with caval extension to the hepatic veins in which we successfully utilized extracorporeal femoralaxillary venovenous bypass for tumor thrombus resection. The inherent advantage of this modified venovenous bypass are discussed with a current review of the literature.
Synergistic Administration of Photothermal Therapy and Chemotherapy to Cancer Cells Using Polypeptide-Based Degradable Plasmonic Matrices (2011)

Time Stability and Coherence Analysis of Multiunit, Single-Unit and Local Field Potential Neuronal Signals in Chronically Implanted Brain Electrodes (2015)

Introducing neural sensing and decoding to open-loop neurostimulation technologies has the potential to significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of diseases treated through bioelectronic medicine. Chronically implanted multi-electrode arrays (MEA) can be used for such neural sensing and are critical for obtaining data of high spatial and temporal resolution to provide accurate decoding. Signals recorded from these arrays include local field potentials (LFP), and multiunit (MU) and single-unit (SU) activity. LFP offer signal stability over time, but at the expense of decreased spatial resolution. SU activity, on the other hand, offers better spatial resolution, but is considered less stable in chronic applications. MU activity, which represents an aggregate spiking activity of a population of neurons on the order of several hundred microns away from the recording tip, is considered a signal that can offer a compromise between the two signals. Here we used a wavelet decomposition method to extract and characterize the LFP, MU and SU signals obtained from a 96-channel MEA implanted in the motor cortex of a nonhuman primate over a 7.5-month period. We observed that not only are the MU signals more stable over time compared with SU activity, but that they are also significantly less correlated among electrodes compared with LFP over the spatial scale of the implanted array. Histological analysis of tissue sections also revealed a 51% reduction in the number of neuronal cell bodies within a radius around the electrode tips of the implanted tissue compared with control tissue. Our results indicate that MU activity offers long-term signal stability with less correlated signals, potentially providing an effective signal for neural sensing in bioelectronic medicine.
Observation of subsurface structures using high-energy SEM (2005)

Manufacturing integrated devices with faster clock speeds requires the fine control of three-dimensional gate structures, including line-edge roughness, sidewall angles, and sidewall structures, as well as the control of line widths. In addition, a way to observe underlying structures in devices with multi-layer interconnects is required. As a way to meet future metrology requirements, we propose the use of high-energy scanning electron micrscopy (SEM), which is better suited to the measurement of 3-D structures and underlying structures than conventional low-energy SEM. High-energy SEM is shown to reveal subsurface structures that are not detected by low-energy SEM. Firstly, a motched gate structure and a polycide gate with a sidewall spacer are observed with spatial resolutions of a few nanometers. The relationship between the thickness of the upper layer and beam energy at which underlying structures are observable is also investigated. The beam should be energetic enough to pass through the upper layer without being broadened, but weak enough that incident electrons are back-scattered by the underlying structures. We were able to observe line structures at depths of up to 800 nm by using incident beams with energy levels from 50 to 100 keV.
Modeling of the effect of dynamic gas lensing on beam-quality control of nuclear pumped lasers (1993)

The control of the extracted beam quality of a nuclear pumped-laser is a major issue.
IntentVizor: Towards Generic Query Guided Interactive Video Summarization (2022)

The target of automatic video summarization is to create a short skim of the original long video while preserving the major content/events. There is a growing interest in the integration of user queries into video summarization or query-driven video summarization. This video summarization method predicts a concise synopsis of the original video based on the user query, which is commonly represented by the input text. However, two inherent problems exist in this query-driven way. First, the text query might not be enough to describe the exact and diverse needs of the user. Second, the user cannot edit once the summaries are produced, while we assume the needs of the user should be subtle and need to be adjusted interactively. To solve these two problems, we propose IntentVizor, an interactive video summarization framework guided by generic multi-modality queries. The input query that describes the user's needs are not limited to text but also the video snippets. We further represent these multi-modality finer-grained queries as user ‘intent’, which is interpretable, interactable, editable, and can better quantify the user's needs. In this paper, we use a set of the proposed intents to represent the user query and design a new interactive visual analytic interface. Users can interactively control and adjust these mixed-initiative intents to obtain a more satisfying summary through the interface. Also, to improve the summarization quality via video understanding, a novel Granularity-Scalable Ego-Graph Convolutional Networks (GSE-GCN) is proposed. We conduct our experiments on two benchmark datasets. Comparisons with the state-of-the-art methods verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Code and dataset are available at https://github.com/jnzs1836/intentvizor.
A venom metalloproteinase from the parasitic wasp Eulophus pennicornis is toxic towards its host, tomato moth ( Lacanobia oleracae ) (2009)

Three genes encoding clan MB metalloproteinases (EpMP1-3) were identified from venom glands of the ectoparasitic wasp Eulophus pennicornis. The derived amino acid sequences predict mature proteins of approximately 46 kDa, with a novel two-domain structure comprising a C-terminal reprolysin domain, and an N-terminal domain of unknown function. EpMP3 expressed as a recombinant protein in Pichia pastoris had gelatinase activity, which was inhibited by EDTA. Injection of recombinant EpMP3 into fifth instar Lacanobia oleracea (host) larvae resulted in partial insect mortality associated with the moult to sixth instar, with surviving insects showing retarded development and growth. EpMP3 is expressed specifically in venom glands. These results suggest that EpMP3 is a functional component of Eulophus venom, which is able to manipulate host development.

A 5.4mW 0.0035mm<sup>2</sup> 0.48ps<inf>rms</inf>-jitter 0.8-to-5GHz non-PLL/DLL all-digital phase generator/rotator in 45nm SOI CMOS (2009)

A CDR circuit for serial link receivers usually requires a multi-phase generator and a number of phase rotators to produce data and edge clocks. The most commonly used architecture is a dual-loop CDR where a DLL (or PLL) generates k equidistantly spaced clock phases that are fed into n/2 phase rotators, where n is the number of sampling latches in the CDR [1]. Another method was proposed in [2], where the multi-phase generation and phase shifting is achieved at the same time in a single PLL, in this case achieving phase-adjustment capability through the weighted summing of charge-pump outputs for several phases. This approach eliminates the additional delay associated with using phase rotators and simplifies the overall design. However, all these conventional methods require either a PLL or a DLL, blocks that demand the largest share of power consumption and of silicon area in the CDR circuit.
Stochastic Reactive Power Management in Microgrids with Renewables (2014)

Distribution microgrids are being challenged by reverse power flows and voltage fluctuations due to renewable generation, demand response, and electric vehicles. Advances in photovoltaic (PV) inverters offer new opportunities for reactive power management provided PV owners have the right investment incentives. In this context, reactive power compensation is considered here as an ancillary service. Accounting for the increasing time-variability of distributed generation and demand, a stochastic reactive power compensation scheme is developed. Given uncertain active power injections, an online reactive control scheme is devised. This scheme is distribution-free and relies solely on power injection data. Reactive injections are updated using the Lagrange multipliers of a second-order cone program. Numerical tests on an industrial 47-bus microgrid and the residential IEEE 123-bus feeder corroborate the reactive power management efficiency of the novel stochastic scheme over its deterministic alternative, as well as its capability to track variations in solar generation and household demand.
Antioxidant Potential of Red Palm-Pressed Mesocarp Olein (2021)

Oxidative stress occurs due to the imbalance amount of the free radicals and antioxidants in human body which often associated with numerous chronic diseases. The antioxidant properties of red palm-pressed mesocarp olein (PPMO) have not been widely studied. Therefore, antioxidant properties of PPMO relative to commercially available edible oils, namely red palm olein (RPO), palm olein (PO), extra virgin olive oil (OO) and extra virgin coconut oil (CNO) were studied. PPMO exhibited significant higher phytonutrients which more than 2-fold compared to the edible oils. Overall, antioxidant screening indicated that PPMO has significantly higher antioxidant activities than RPO, PO and CNO in term of DPPH, H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, NO scavenging and FIC; and significantly higher H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and FIC than OO. The outcomes of this study reveal that PPMO is as good as commercially available edible oil, also a good source for food applications and dietary nutritional supplements. More importantly, the utilization of PPMO could mitigate oil palm waste problem and results in positive environmental impact.
0.12 mm Optical Lithography Performances Using an Alternating DUV Phase Shift Mask (1998)

Abstract Manufacturing the next generation of devices will demand lithographic capability in the sub 0.18 μm range. The phase shift mask (PSM) is a key emerging technology thought to be extending 248 nm optical lithography. Using the Levenson PSM technique allows us to improve resolution by as much as 50% at gate level. This paper describes the lithographic performances of Shipley UV5 photoresist on SiOxNy BARC, using alternating PSM and an ASM/90 Deep UV stepper. CD measurement was done on OPAL 7830i metrology SEM. Results on sub 0.18 μm design rules are presented: • - The first part concerns experimental conditions: masks, process conditions, anti-reflective substrates, etching and metrology are discussed. • - The second part concerns lithographic performances: process linearity from 0.12 μm to 0.18 μm, 0.12 μm isolated line process latitudes of 7% Energy Latitude for 0.8 μm DOF have been exhibited. Finally we try to evaluate proximity effect and the ultimate resolution of this technology.
A limbic circuit selectively linking active escape to food suppression (2019)

Abstract Stress and anxiety are precipitating factors for eating disorders, but the neural basis linking stress to alterations in feeding is not well understood. Here we describe a novel population of stress-responsive neurons in the lateral septum (LS) of mice that express neurotensin (LS NTS ) in a sexually dimorphic, estrous cycle-dependent manner. We used in vivo imaging to show that LS NTS neurons are activated by stressful experiences when flight is a viable option, but not by a stressful experience associated with freezing or immobility. LS NTS activation leads to a decrease of food intake and body weight in mice, without altering locomotion or other behaviors associated with anxiety. Molecular profiling of LS NTS neurons showed that these neurons co-express Glp1r (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor), and both pharmacologic and genetic manipulations of Glp1r signaling in the LS recapitulates the behavioral effects of LS NTS activation. Finally, we mapped the outputs of LS NTS neurons and show that activation of LS NTS nerve terminals in the lateral hypothalamus (LH), a well-established feeding center, also decrease food intake. Taken together, these results show that LS NTS neurons link stress and anorexia via effects on hypothalamic pathways regulating food intake.
Methods of Creating Solar-Reflective Nonwhite Surfaces and theirApplication to Residential Roofing Materials (2005)

We describe methods for creating solar-reflective nonwhitesurfaces and their application to a wide variety of residential roofingmaterials, including metal, clay tile, concrete tile, wood, and asphaltshingle. Reflectance in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum (0.7 2.5mu m) ismaximized by coloring a topcoatwith pigments that weakly absorb and(optionally) strongly backscatter NIR radiation, and adding anNIR-reflective basecoat (e.g., titanium dioxide white) if both thetopcoat and substrate weakly reflect NIR radiation. Coated steel andglazed clay tile roofing products achieved NIRreflectances of up to 0.50and 0.75, respectively, using only cool topcoats. Gray concrete tilesachieve NIR reflectances as high as 0.60 when thickly coated withNIR-scattering pigments, and could attain an NIR reflectances as high as0.85 by overlaying a titanium-dioxide basecoat with a topcoat colored byNIR-transparent organic pigments. Granule-surfaced asphalt shinglesachieved NIR reflectances as high as 0.45 when a cool color topcoat wasapplied over a thick white basecoat.
The effect of feedback in the assignment problem in shared bicycle systems (2013)

We study the effect of availability of occupation data on customer choices in bicycle sharing systems and the use of this data to build prediction systems. We show that if this data is given directly to customers, the overall performance of such a system can degrade. Solutions to this problem are presented.
<title>Development of low-loss IR optical fibers for optical sensors</title> (1995)

We have fabricated stable sulphide and telluride based chalcogenide glasses and characterized their properties. The glasses do not exhibit crystallization upon reheating up to and beyond the fiber draw temperature. We have drawn unclad telluride fibers with a minimum attenuation of 0.11 dB/m at 6.6 micrometers which represents the lowest loss reported for a chalcogenide glass containing high levels of Te. Preliminary core/clad telluride and sulphide glass fibers have been drawn using the rod-in-tube process with a minimum loss of 0.7 dB/m at 6.6 micrometers and 0.6 dB/m at 4.89 micrometers , respectively. Improvements in glass quality and processing utilizing the rod-in-tube and double crucible techniques will lead to lower losses. We also demonstrate the capability of the telluride fibers for evanescent sensing of numerous organic and inorganic liquids and their mixtures in the 3 - 12 micrometers region.
