Prefetching mobile ads (2013)

Mobile app marketplaces are dominated by free apps that rely on advertising for their revenue. These apps place increased demands on the already limited battery lifetime of modern phones. For example, in the top 15 free Windows Phone apps, we found in-app advertising contributes to 65% of the app's total communication energy (or 23% of the app's total energy). Despite their small size, downloading ads each time an app is started and at regular refresh intervals forces the network radio to be continuously woken up, thus leading to a high energy overhead, so-called 'tail energy' problem. A straightforward mechanism to lower this overhead is to prefetch ads in bulk and serve them locally. However, the prefetching of ads is at odds with the real-time nature of modern advertising systems wherein ads are sold through real-time auctions each time the client can display an ad.
On the scattering of sound from a submerged thin walled cylinder coated with a compliant layer (1995)

There is currently an abundance of both mathematical and finite-element models of the scattering of underwater sound from cylindrical bodies treated with compliant coatings. However, there is a significant lack of corresponding scattering measurements. This paper presents the results of a set of simple measurements of the monostatic backscatter from a coated, thin, ribbed cylindrical shell with flat endcaps for ka of 2–8. The coating layer had an input impedance approximately one-fifth that of water, providing a near pressure-release boundary condition. Of particular interest is a minimum in the measured target strength which results from the resonant interaction of the coating and the shell. Results from finite-element and modal expansion models of the coated shell are also presented with the aim of providing a physical understanding of the resonance. [Work supported by ONR.]
Helper cell-independent cytolytic T lymphocytes specific for a minor histocompatibility antigen. (1983)

We have isolated several anti-H-2Db-restricted cytolytic T cell clones specific for the minor histocompatibility antigen, H-1, from a long-term B10.129(5M) anti-C57BL/6 mixed leukocyte culture. All proliferate significantly, in the absence of exogenously added lymphokine, and in a specific manner to H-2Db-compatible stimulator cells that carry the appropriate H-1 minor antigen. Moreover, significant proliferation also occurs when T cell-depleted stimulator cells are used as the antigenic stimulus, indicating that the proliferative capacity of these clones is not the result of T cell factors produced by the stimulator cells. After concanavalin A stimulation, IL 2-like lymphokine activity can be detected from the one clone tested, 5M/B6-5. These data demonstrate the existence of antigen-driven, helper T cell-independent cytolytic T cell clones responsive to a single minor histocompatibility antigen. The implications of this finding are discussed.
Uniting Heat and Light in Heterogeneous CO2 Photocatalysis: Optochemical Materials and Reactor Engineering (2022)

ConspectusThe rapid increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration (∼420 ppm) has become one of the significant issues threatening human survival. As an effective measure to solve this major problem, renewable energy-powered catalytic CO2 conversion technologies have received vast attention in both academia and industry. Among these techniques, photothermal catalysis is a rising star with promising potential for CO2 conversion even under milder conditions. Indium oxide was among the first to be used in photothermal CO2 catalysis, and through its various forms, stoichiometries, and surface chemistry, it has become one of the most well-studied photothermal catalyst systems. Indium oxide is a highly tunable semiconductor for CO2 photocatalysis, which can be driven by both light photochemically and heat photothermally, thereby serving as an archetype for understanding how to optimize its performance for storing solar as chemical energy, through creative materials chemistry.Our solar fuel cluster discovered photothermal CO2 catalysis over indium oxide in 2014 and has long been committed to the study of this field. Photothermal catalysis by semiconductors like indium oxide can be deconstructed into three key processes: photochemistry, thermochemistry, and surface chemistry. To be specific, photoexcited electron–hole pairs can enable redox and acid–base surface chemical reactions. Phonons and plasmons can drive these reactions photothermally. Surface active sites, such as surface frustrated Lewis pairs and oxygen vacancies, can amplify product activity and selectivity. Designer synergism between all of these effects ultimately determines the overall performance metrics of photothermal CO2 catalysis. Thus, to design and optimize a photothermal catalyst, the three aforementioned key processes should be considered synergistically.In this Account, indium oxide-based catalysts are selected as an archetype to introduce the process of photothermal CO2 catalysis and the advancements of indium oxide-based catalysts mainly from our solar fuel cluster are summarized. In detail, the strategies of material design are introduced systematically with the three key processes: photochemistry, thermochemistry, and surface chemistry. Moreover, a foreseeable future of the emerging field of optochemical engineering of photothermal catalysis, ranging from potential reactions to reactor design, is included as the perspective as well. In other words, this Account is dedicated to exploring how chemically tailored indium oxide-based catalyst has served as a platform material for understanding photothermal CO2 catalysis and how this know-how is enabling the design of high quantum efficiency photocatalysts and photoreactors. A comprehensive understanding of these points is the key to the development of the emerging field of optochemical materials and reactor engineering of heterogeneous CO2 photocatalysis.
Polyurethane−Polyacrylate Interpenetrating Networks. 2. Morphology Studies by Direct Nonradiative Energy Transfer Experiments (1996)

Two sequential urethane−acrylate interpenetrating network (IPN) systems were prepared in which the polyurethane (PU) phase is labeled with donor and acceptor dyes. Direct nonradiative energy transfer (DET) measurements on these systems indicate less efficient energy transfer in the IPN than in the corresponding pure PU matrix. This result is interpreted in terms of dilution of the dyes by mixing at the molecular level between the polyacrylate (PA) and PU components. Quantitative analysis of the changes in DET efficiency allows the extent of phase mixing to be calculated. The two SeqIPN's, and were labeled by incorporating phenanthrene and anthracene diols into the reaction mixture. Fluorescence decays of phenanthrene in these samples were measured by the single-photon-timing technique and analyzed in terms of both the Förster model for DET and the Perrin model for static quenching. Both analyses gave similar extents of phase mixing, and these values are in good accord with the results of electron microscopy and dynamic mechanical experiments. Similar experiments were carried out during the polymerization reaction. These allowed features of the morphology evolution to be understood.
OPC for curved designs in application to photonics on silicon (2016)

Today's design for photonics devices on silicon relies on non-Manhattan features such as curves and a wide variety of angles with minimum feature size below 100nm. Industrial manufacturing of such devices requires optimized process window with 193nm lithography. Therefore, Resolution Enhancement Techniques (RET) that are commonly used for CMOS manufacturing are required. However, most RET algorithms are based on Manhattan fragmentation (0°, 45° and 90°) which can generate large CD dispersion on masks for photonic designs. Industrial implementation of RET solutions to photonic designs is challenging as most currently available OPC tools are CMOS-oriented. Discrepancy from design to final results induced by RET techniques can lead to lower photonic device performance. We propose a novel sizing algorithm allowing adjustment of design edge fragments while preserving the topology of the original structures. The results of the algorithm implementation in the rule based sizing, SRAF placement and model based correction will be discussed in this paper. Corrections based on this novel algorithm were applied and characterized on real photonics devices. The obtained results demonstrate the validity of the proposed correction method integrated in Inscale software of Aselta Nanographics.
Active noise control systems for periodic noise signals (2012)

This work presents an active noise control (ANC) system for periodic noise signals. Conventional feedforward ANC systems can reduce periodic noise by an adaptive filter excited by a merged reference signal, which is the summation of multiple sinusoidals corresponding to the harmonic frequencies of undesired noise. This work uses a frequency separation system to split error signal into several sets. Each set of error signal has the same frequency harmonics with its reference signal. So, the adaptation of weights by filtered-X least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm only processes the signals with same frequency components. A new performance index is also given. Computer simulations for periodic noise cancellation are conducted in this paper to prove the enhancement.
Frustrated self-assembly of dendron and dendrimer-based supramolecular liquid crystals (2009)

A new "inverted" topological configuration is demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically for self-assembled dendron and dendrimer-based supramolecular liquid crystals in which the dendrons/dendrimers occupy the continuous domain and the ionically attached pendant chains are confined in discrete domains. All previous studies on dendrimer and dendron-based liquid crystals have reported "normal" liquid crystalline configurations in which the dendritic templates occupy discrete domains (in spherical or columnar phases) or continuous struts (in bicontinuous cubic phases), while the pendant chains occupy the continuous space-filling domain. These surprising results mandate a re-examination of the packing mechanisms for this important class of materials and open new routes to unique nanostructures of possible use in existing and emerging technologies.
Immunotherapy with oral administration of humanized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody: a novel gut-immune system-based therapy for metaflammation and NASH (2018)

The immune system plays a role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) underlying hepatocyte injury and fibrosis progression at all disease stages. Oral administration of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb) has been shown in preclinical studies to be an effective method for systemic immune modulation and alleviates immune-mediated disorders without T cell depletion. In the present review, we summarize the concept of the oral administration of humanized anti-CD3 mAb in patients with NASH and discuss the potential of this treatment to address the current requirements of treatments for NASH. Recently published preclinical and clinical data on oral administration of anti CD3 are discussed. Human trials have shown that the oral administration of anti-CD3 in healthy volunteers, patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and patients with NASH and type 2 diabetes is safe and well tolerated, as well as biologically active. Oral anti-CD3 induces regulatory T cells, suppresses the chronic inflammatory state associated with NASH and exerts a beneficial effect on clinically relevant parameters. Foralumab is a fully human anti-CD3 mAb that has recently been shown to exert a potent anti-inflammatory effect in humanized mice. It is being developed for treatment of NASH and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Oral administration of anti CD3 may provide an effective therapy for patients with NASH.
Improving Maize Grain Yield under Drought Stress and Non‐stress Environments in Sub‐Saharan Africa using Marker‐Assisted Recurrent Selection (2015)

ABSTRACT In marker‐assisted recurrent selection (MARS), a subset of molecular markers significantly associated with target traits of interest are used to predict the breeding value of individual plants, followed by rapid recombination and selfing. This study estimated genetic gains in grain yield (GY) using MARS in 10 biparental tropical maize ( Zea may L.) populations. In each population, 148 to 184 F 2:3 (defined as C 0 ) progenies were derived, crossed with a single‐cross tester, and evaluated under water‐stressed (WS) and well‐watered (WW) environments in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). The C 0 populations were genotyped with 190 to 225 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A selection index based on marker data and phenotypic data was used for selecting the best C 0 families for recombination. Individual plants from selected families were genotyped using 55 to 87 SNPs tagging specific quantitative trait loci (QTL), and the best individuals from each cycle were either intercrossed (to form C 1 ) or selfed (to form C 1 S 1 and C 1 S 2 ). A genetic gain study was conducted using test crosses of lines from the different cycles F 1 and founder parents. Test crosses, along with five commercial hybrid checks were evaluated under four WS and four WW environments. The overall gain for GY using MARS across the 10 populations was 105 kg ha −1 yr −1 under WW and 51 kg ha −1 yr −1 under WS. Across WW environments, GY of C 1 S 2 –derived hybrids were 8.7, 5.9, and 16.2% significantly greater than those of C 0 , founder parents, and commercial checks, respectively. Results demonstrate the potential of MARS for increasing genetic gain under both drought and optimum environments in SSA.
Heat transfer to fine powders in a bubbling fluidized bed with sound assistance (2004)

Abstract Most of the published research on heat transfer in a fluidized bed is focused on Geldart type B and D particles, while there is little information available on heat transfer to fine powders (Geldart group C). Previous studies of fine powder fluidization with sound assistance have shown that stable bubbling can be achieved with sound assistance. In this study, experiments were performed to measure bubble behavior and heat‐transfer coefficients around a horizontal tube in a fine powder fluidized bed with sound assistance. Two types of data are presented as functions of excess air velocity and sound pressure level—average and local heat‐transfer coefficients and bubble frequency, packet residence time, and the fraction of the particle packet contact time. A packet renewal model with a gas film at the tube surface is proposed to explain the heat‐transfer data. © 2004 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 50: 302–310, 2004
[Results of vitrectomy for diabetic traction retinal detachment involving the macula; a comparison of six-month and three-year postoperative findings]. (1989)

Three-year follow-up examinations were performed on 45 cases that underwent pars plana vitrectomies for diabetic retinopathy complications from 1982 to 1983. All of these cases had traction retinal detachment involving the macula. Visual improvement was noted in 27 eyes (60%) and 11 eyes (24%) had worse visual acuity at 6 months after surgery. Final visual improvement was noted in 21 eyes (47%) at the there-year follow-up examinations. Five (11%) of the 45 cases had better visual acuity at the three-year examination than at six months, 18 (40%) had the same visual acuity, but 22 (49%) had poorer vision at the three-year examination. Out of those cases, 28 eyes (62%) had totally attached retina 6 months after operation and the results in those eyes were quite stable at three years. Of these, 19 (68%) had the same or better visual acuity at three years compared with six months. But if retinal detachment was present at 6 months, the prognosis was very poor at the three-year examination with a visual acuity of less than hand motions. Reattachment of the retina is most important to maintain good prognosis for surgical treatment for diabetic retinopathy with traction retinal detachment.

Content Request Prediction with Temporal Trend for Proactive Caching (2020)

In this paper, we aim to improve the performance of proactive caching policies by presenting an accurate content request prediction algorithm. We develop a Bayesian dynamical model through which a latent temporal trend structure in the content request can be accurately tracked and predicted. The dynamical model also leverages tensor train decomposition to capture content-location interactions to further enhance the accuracy of predictions. We derive an approximation of the posterior distribution based on variational Bayes (VB) and Kalman smoother algorithms to infer the model’s parameters. Moreover, using a real-world dataset, we examine the impact of prediction accuracy of our proposed scheme on a designed cooperative caching policy. The numerical results show that our algorithm substantially outperforms reference methods which ignore the temporal trends and content-location interactions.

Spectrum and space resolved 4D imaging by coded aperture correlation holography (COACH) with diffractive objective lens (2017)

In this Letter, we present an advanced optical configuration of coded aperture correlation holography (COACH) with a diffractive objective lens. Four-dimensional imaging of objects at the three spatial dimensions and with an additional spectral dimension is demonstrated. A hologram of three-dimensional objects illuminated by different wavelengths was recorded by the interference of light diffracted from the objects with the light diffracted from the same objects, but through a random-like coded phase mask (CPM). A library of holograms denoted point spread function (PSF) holograms were prerecorded with the same CPM, and under identical conditions, using point objects along different axial locations and for the different illuminating wavelengths. The correlation of the object hologram with the PSF hologram recorded using a particular wavelength, and at a particular axial location, reconstructs only the object corresponding to the particular axial plane and to the specific wavelength. The reconstruction results are compared with regular imaging and with another well-established holographic technique called Fresnel incoherent correlation holography.

5G-TRANSFORMER: Slicing and Orchestrating Transport Networks for Industry Verticals (2018)

This article dives into the design of the next generation mobile transport networks to simultaneously support the needs of various vertical industries with diverse range of networking and computing requirements. Network slicing has emerged as the most promising approach to address this challenge by enabling per-slice management of virtualized resources. We aim to bring the network slicing paradigm into mobile transport networks by provisioning and managing slices tailored to the needs of different vertical industries. Our technical approach is twofold: (i) enabling vertical industries to meet their service requirements within customized slices; and (ii) aggregating and federating transport networking and computing fabric, from the edge up to the core and cloud, to create and manage slices throughout a federated virtualized infrastructure. The main focus of the article is on major technical highlights of vertical-oriented slicing mechanisms for 5G mobile networks.
Abstract 3398: Analysis of whole transcriptome RNA-seq of large numbers of clinical FFPE samples (2018)

Abstract Background: We evaluate the feasibility, quality, and analytical potential of whole-transcriptome RNA-seq on over one thousand clinical FFPE tumor samples. Transcriptional profiling of RNA is used for clinical decision making in many tumor types. Clinical analysis of RNA is complicated by the common use of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue storage, which can cause low yield and RNA degradation. Methods: RNA was extracted from FFPE material using commercially available kits using an RNAseH based ribodeplete. Multiple libraries per sample are sequenced using standard Illumina sequencing. Bowtie2, RSEM, and custom software are used for alignment, transcript quantification, fusion detection, and variant expression analysis. Results: We observe a &amp;gt;85% success rate on whole transcriptome RNA-seq on our cohort of more than 1000 samples. We find reliable transcript quantification upon successful sequencing, and on a subset of samples quantify differences between FFPE and fresh-frozen material when using ribodeplete. We also compare transcriptional profiles of clinical FFPE samples to an independent set of fresh frozen, poly-A capture samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and show differences between poly-A capture and ribodeplete RNA isolation methods as well as FFPE vs. FF effects. We present a robust mapping methodology for comparison of public FF poly-A dataset to our FFPE ribodeplete samples. We demonstrate that we are able to utilize this joint gene expression space to perform site of origin prediction on FFPE samples. This is especially important for clinical application in analyzing Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) samples as well as detecting outlier samples whose molecular features may suggest additional therapeutic avenues. Finally, we show reliable detection of fusion transcripts from FFPE RNA-seq material from whole-transcriptome analysis and expression of somatic tumor variants detected from DNA sequencing. Conclusions: Large scale sequencing of RNA from clinical FFPE materials provides reliable transcriptomic results comparable to existing public databases of RNA, enabling research on cohorts of tumors that are FFPE-banked and unavailable as frozen tissue.
