Search for pair production of excited top quarks in the lepton + jets final state (2018)

A search is performed for the pair production of spin-3/2 excited top quarks, each decaying to a top quark and a gluon. The search uses the data collected with the CMS detector from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb -1 . Events are selected by requiring an isolated muon or electron, an imbalance in the transverse momentum, and at least six jets of which exactly two must be compatible with originating from the fragmentation of a bottom quark. No significant excess over the standard model predictions is found. A lower limit of 1.2 TeV is set at 95% confidence level on the mass of the spin-3/2 excited top quark in an extension of the Randall-Sundrum model, assuming a 100% branching fraction of its decay into a top quark and a gluon. These are the best limits to date in a search for excited top quarks and the first at 13 TeV.
A compilation of cold cases using scanning electron microscopy at the University of Rhode Island (2015)

Scanning electron microscopy combined with microchemical analysis has evolved into one of the most widely used instruments in forensic science today. In particular, the environmental scanning electron microscope (SEM) in conjunction with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), has created unique opportunities in forensic science in regard to the examination of trace evidence; i.e. the examination of evidence without altering the evidence with conductive coatings, thereby enabling criminalists to solve cases that were previously considered unsolvable. Two cold cases were solved at URI using a JEOL 5900 LV SEM in conjunction with EDS. A cold case murder and a cold missing person case will be presented from the viewpoint of the microscopist and will include sample preparation, as well as image and chemical analysis of the trace evidence using electron microscopy and optical microscopy.

Regular logic fabrics for a via patterned gate array (VPGA) (2004)

Standard-cell-based ASIC costs are increasing so rapidly that fewer products have the volume required to justify NRE costs. Consequently, more designs are relying on programmable devices, such as FPGAs, which have inferior power-delay performance. We propose to explore new regular logic fabrics that are customizable by a few via masks to provide implementation simplicity and NRE costs comparable to an FPGA, but with power-delay performance closer to an ASIC. This paper describes the design of lookup tables (LUTs) similar to those used in FPGAs, but restructured for via-patternability and performance. Results demonstrate power-delay performance comparable to complex-function standard cells, but inferior performance compared to simple logic gates. We compare several logic block designs based on our heterogeneous regular logic fabrics with those constructed using standard cells.

A mathematical theory of comodulation (2001)

Amplitude comodulation is the phenomenon that for many types of sound sources, all of the individual frequency components emitted will be amplitude modulated in a related manner, i.e., they will all start/stop and rise/fall together. It is known from various psychophysical studies that comodulation plays an important role in perceptual grouping of sound components. In this work, amplitude comodulation is examined for possible use as a basis for auditory source separation. A derivation is presented of the equations governing a comodulated system for the case of constant frequency sources. A theorem is proved giving necessary and sufficient conditions for uniquely decomposing a sound mixture into its constituent sources. A by-product of these conditions is an understanding of the importance of common onsets and offsets in source separation. An algorithm is presented for computing the unique solution in those cases where one exists. Finally, possible future extensions to the case of frequency varying sources are discussed.

Extensive EIS characterization of commercially available lithium polymer battery cell for performance modelling (2015)

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) has become a popular analytical technique for research and development of battery cells' chemistries, due to the established, high precision computer controlled equipment, that are capable of direct, on-line monitoring of performance parameters or degradation of an electrochemical system. Used for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, this method allows for a fast and accurate assessment of the battery's impedance at any working point, without modifying the state of the battery. The influence of the operating conditions, state of charge (SOC) and temperature on the performance of a commercially available 53 Ah Lithium polymer battery cell, manufactured by Kokam Co. Ltd., is investigated in laboratory experiments, at its beginning of life, by means of EIS. A data fitting algorithm was used to obtain the parameter values for the proposed equivalent electrical circuit, which was further selected for the development of an accurate EIS based performance model for the chosen Li-ion battery cell.
Measurement of the $Λ^0_b\rightarrow J/ψΛ$ angular distribution and the $Λ^0_b$ polarisation in $pp$ collisions (2020)

This paper presents an analysis of the $\Lambda^0_b\rightarrow J/\psi\Lambda$ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The measurements are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb experiment. The polarisation is determined in a fiducial region of $\Lambda^0_b$ transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of $1 < p_{T} < 20$ GeV$/c$ and $2 < \eta < 5$, respectively. The data are consistent with $\Lambda^0_b$ baryons being produced unpolarised in this region. The parity-violating asymmetry parameter of the $\Lambda\rightarrow p\pi^-$ decay is also determined from the data and its value is found to be consistent with a recent measurement by the BES\,III collaboration.
Photoionization spectrum of H in strong dc electric fields (1987)

We studied the ${m}_{l}$=0 photoionization channel of H(n=2, ${m}_{l}$=0) red and blue states in a dc electric field F theoretically and experimentally in the energy region between the two ionization thresholds: the Stark-induced classical threshold at E=-2 \ensuremath{\surd}F and the threshold of the field-free atom at E=0. We find that the ionization yield via the ``rapidly'' ionizing ${m}_{l}$=0 channels concentrates at the two thresholds. Such concentration has not been observed in similar experiments on complex atoms due to a large degree of electron scattering from the ion core that produces significant amounts of mixing among the excitation amplitudes and among the ionization channels. Our results show that the hydrogenic Stark levels of fixed principle quantum number n become sharper as their parabolic quantum number ${n}_{1}$ increases. On the other hand, the levels of fixed ${n}_{1}$ get wider as their quantum number n increases. Moreover, our results show a remarkable property: The ratio of the cross sections from the red and from the blue ${m}_{l}$=0 states of n=2 fall on a universal curve when plotted as a function of ${Z}_{1}$, the fraction of the nuclear charge that drives the bound motion. Also, the ratio is found to be larger than 1 in two regions where ${Z}_{1}$=0--(1/4) and (1/2)--(3/4), less than 1 in the rest of the ${Z}_{1}$ regions, ${Z}_{1}$=(1/4)--(1/2) and (3/4)--1, and is equal to unity at the common boundaries at ${Z}_{1}$=(1/4), (1/2), and (3/4), thus indicating special properties of these fractional charges.

Development, Implementation, Assessment of a Web-based Circuit Solver for Teaching Basic Electrical Circuits Theory (2015)

In this paper, an interactive web-based circuit simulator tool (CirSim) is presented to enhance students learning skills and assist them to grasp the basic concepts of the preliminary electrical engineering courses by providing innovative methods for interactive teaching and testing. The project aims to achieve the following goals: 1) Develop enhanced problem solving skills using the internet as a portable platform for the education environment. 2) Develop design skills and sharpen critical thinking. 3) Develop global and comprehensive teaching circuit tools which can be adopted nationally for educational purposes. Students can use the online circuit simulator to carry out circuit simulation on the web and access it virtually from any place. The proposed simulator provides a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) which has the capability to allow students to conduct DC and AC circuit simulation analysis and provide the option to plot the circuit responses graphically. Finally, a preliminary study has been done on a group of students to show the effectiveness of the e-learning using the proposed web-based circuit solver on the achievement of students. The results show a great feedback from students and improved performance in learning the basic electrical engineering concepts.
Nanofabrication and Microfabrication of Functional Materials for Tissue Engineering (2007)

The burgeoning field of regenerative medicine promises significant progress in the treatment of cardiac ischemia, liver disease, and spinal cord injury. Key to its success will be the ability to engineer tissue safely and reliably. Tissue functionality must be recapitulated in the laboratory and then integrated into surrounding tissue upon transfer to the patient. Scaffolding materials must be chosen such that the microenvironment surrounding the cells is a close analog of the native environment. In the early days of tissue engineering, these materials were largely borrowed from other fields, with much of the focus on biocompatibility and biodegradation. However, attention has shifted recently to cell-cell and cell-surface interactions, largely because of enabling technologies at the nanoscale and microscale. Studies on cellular behavior in response to various stimuli are now easily realized by using microfabrication techniques and devices (e.g., biomedical microelectromechanical systems). These experiments are reproducible and moderate in cost, and often can be accomplished at high throughput, providing the fundamental knowledge required to design biomaterials that closely mimic the biological system. It is our opinion that these novel materials and technologies will bring engineered tissues one step closer to practical application in the clinic. This review discusses their application to cardiac, liver, and nerve tissue engineering.
Pemphigus Foliaceus Masquerading as Postoperative Wound Infection (2005)

BACKGROUND The Koebner phenomenon, also known as the isomorphic response, is the development of preexisting skin disease following trauma to uninvolved skin. Various cutaneous disorders have been described to arise at surgical wounds and scars. Moreover, dermatologic procedures, such as cold-steel and laser surgery, can evoke koebnerization. OBJECTIVE To describe a case of pemphigus foliaceus arising in postoperative wounds and to present a review of dermatologic disorders triggered by surgical procedures. METHODS We report a case of pemphigus foliaceus initially presenting at sites of Mohs' micrographic surgery, shave biopsy, and cryotherapy and, subsequently, at a nonsurgical site. We reviewed the English literature in MEDLINE from November 1955 to April 2004 for reports of Koebner and related phenomenon following surgical procedures. RESULTS To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pemphigus foliaceus erupting at surgical and cryotherapy wounds. The clinical appearance can mimic wound infection. In addition to inducing preexisting disease, cutaneous procedures can also trigger the onset of new disease, which can either be limited only to the surgical site or subsequently become generalized. CONCLUSION Postoperative Koebner or related responses should be included in the differential diagnosis of poorly healing surgical wounds. Skin biopsies for histopathology and immunologic studies may be necessary for definitive diagnosis and optimal management.
[Estrogens and breast cancer: from action mechanisms to clinical applications]. (1995)

The role of estrogens as promoters of breast carcinogenesis has been well established while their action in tumor invasion appears more complex. Breast cancer cells without estrogen receptor (ER) are generally less differentiated and more aggressive than those containing function ER. Moreover the reexpression of ER by transfection in ER-negative cell lines inhibit their metastatic potential. These results suggest a protective role of ER in the metastatic progression of breast cancers. Studies of the underlying mechanisms of this effect may open new therapeutical strategies.
Isolated heart model demonstrates evidence of contractile and diastolic dysfunction in right ventricles from rats with sugen/hypoxia‐induced pulmonary hypertension (2017)

Abstract Although extensively used for the study of left ventricular function, limited experience exists with the isolated heart model in the evaluation of right ventricular (RV) function. In particular, no published experience exists with this tool in sugen/hypoxia‐induced pulmonary hypertension (SuHx‐PH), a frequently used model of severe and progressive PH. We sought to characterize markers of RV contractile and diastolic function in SuHx‐PH and to establish their relationship with markers of maladaptive RV remodeling. Hearts were excised from anesthetized Sprague Dawley rats with or without SuHx‐PH and perfused via the aorta using a Langendorff preparation. We explored the Frank–Starling relationship of RV function (RV developed pressure, d P /d t max , and d P /d t min ; all normalized to RV mass) by increasing RV end‐diastolic pressure (RVEDP) from 0 to 40 mmHg. Functional studies were complemented by quantification of RV pro‐apoptotic signaling (bcl2/bax), procontractile signaling (apelin), and stress response signaling (p38MAPK activation). Pearson9s correlation analysis was performed for functional and biochemical parameters. SuHx‐RVs exhibited severe RV dysfunction with marked hypertrophy and decreased echocardiographic cardiac output. For any given RVEDP, SuHx‐RVs demonstrated less developed pressure and lower d P /d t max , as well as less pronounced d P /d t min , suggestive of decreased contractile and diastolic function. SuHx‐RVs exhibited decreased bcl2/bax ratios, apelin expression, and p38MAPK activation. Bcl2/bax and apelin RNA abundance correlated positively with RV developed pressure and d P /d t max and negatively with d P /d t min . p38MAPK activation correlated positively with RV developed pressure. We conclude that SuHx‐RVs exhibit severe contractile and diastolic dysfunction. Increased pro‐apoptotic signaling and attenuated procontractile and stress response signaling may contribute to these functional alterations.

The DM-Scope registry represents the largest collection of standardized data for the DM population. Our concept improved collaboration among health care professionals by providing annual follow-up of quality longitudinal data collection. The combination of clinical features and biomolecular materials provides a comprehensive view of the disease in a given population. DM-Scope registry proves to be a powerful device for promoting both research and medical care that is suitable to other countries. In the context of emerging therapies, such integrated platform contributes to the standardisation of international DM research and for the design of multicentre clinical trials. Finally, this valuable model is applicable to other RDs.

Assessment And Application of EEG: A Literature Review (2021)

Advancements in neuroscience have enabled the collection and assessment of neurological data to assist in the detection and treatment of several medical conditions as well as the operation and control of devices through brain-computer interface. Existing studies rely heavily on data such as elec- troencephalography (EEG) because of its ease of data collection and assessment, high temporal resolution, low cost, ease of use, and high computational accuracy compared to other neurological and physiological data such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and heart rate.

This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent liter- ature on EEG data assessment and applications  in  computer and neuroscience research. Specifically, the paper reviews articles recently published in high impact venues including IEEE to provide a brief insight into ongoing  work  in  this  research  area. The survey is intended to provide a quick summary for researchers, graduate students, and any interested individuals seeking to advance research on this topic. It should also be beneficial to neuroscientists and professionals wishing to obtain a quick overview of previous work. In addition to summarizing key methodologies on data collection, preprocessing, and algorithms, we identify open data sets, software, and developing trends that would benefit from continued exploration.
On the robustness of vector set partitioning image coders to bit errors (2003)

A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image compression. A major advantage of vector based embedded coding with fixed length VQs over scalar embedded coding, is its superior robustness to noise. In this work we show that vector set partitioning can effectively alter the balance of bits in the bit stream so that significantly fewer critical bits carrying significant information is transmitted, thereby improving inherent noise resilience. Additionally, the degradation in reconstruction quality caused by errors in non-critical quantization information, can be reduced by appropriate VQ indexing, or designing channel optimized VQs for the successive refinement systems. For very noisy channels unequal error protection to the critical and non critical bits with either block codes or convolution codes are used. Extensive simulation results are presented.
Near-infrared photorefractive properties of BaTiO3 and tungsten bronze ferroelectrlcs (1986)

With the ever increasing importance of semiconductor lasers which operate in the near infrared, the greater the desire for nonlinear optical devices such as phase conjugate mirrors which will function at these wavelengths. Until recently almost all devices utilizing photorefractive crystals were demonstrated using visible light only. However, since these very same crystals are also photorefractive in the 0.8-1.1- μ m wavelength region, 1 many of the currently known devices should also operate at these longer wavelengths. With this motivation in mind, we have proceeded to study the photorefractive properties of ferroelectric crystals such as BaTiO 3 , SBN:60, SBN:Ce, SBN;75, and BSKNN in the near-infrared region utilizing argon, dye, semiconductor, and YAG lasers. Specifically, we measured absorption coefficients, response times, and two-beam coupling coefficients throughout this new wavelength region and we have found significant photorefractive response in all the crystals studied. For example, we routinely measured coupling coefficients &gt;1 cm −1 in many of the crystals with response times at 1 W/cm 2 in the 0.1–10-s regime depending on the crystal and wavelength used. Throughout this wavelength range negligible absorption was detected. Finally, several theoretical models were proposed and developed to describe the broad wavelength response in these crystals.
