Teaching teamwork in engineering and computer science (2011)

Teamwork is recognized as an important skill for engineering and computer science professionals. Both potential employers and accrediting agencies, such as ABET, expect students to gain proficiency in teamwork skills through experiential learning. Teamwork based projects challenge the student to apply the technical knowledge they gain in school to solve meaningful and complex problems. However, to be truly proficient in teamwork, a student must also learn and practice a large number of peripheral skills. These include planning, estimating, tracking progress, taking corrective actions, managing change, controlling and managing risks, maintaining ethical and professional conduct, communicating complex ideas clearly and concisely, using design automation tools, leveraging web-based tools for team collaboration, and most importantly participating effectively as team members. It is essential that students should be taught these important skills. It is unlikely that without adequate faculty guidance students can pick up these skills through ad-hoc project experience. Yet, many engineering and computer science programs expect the students to do just that. We feel strongly that we need to employ a more pragmatic approach in teaching students the skills necessary to function as effective and productive team members. Additionally, we need to develop criteria for assessing the effectiveness of teaching teamwork and the tools to measure learning outcomes. Among the problems contributing to this situation are the following: engineering and computer science instructors themselves often have had little or no experience operating in teams; training or guidance in effective ways to teach teamwork is seldom provided; and tools and effective approaches to assist in the teaching and assessment of teamwork are lacking. Another problem is that, it takes a great deal of faculty time, effort and energy to guide groups of students in doing effective teamwork. We will describe an approach that we have used to teach team collaboration skills using free and freely available web-based tools. Students learn to use tools for design automation, metrics collection, project management, and web-based collaboration. Our approach encourages students to learn teamwork skills and improves levels of collaboration among team members while reducing demands on faculty time and effort. Use of web-based collaboration tools allows students to participate without the need for frequent face-to-face meetings; this our students love. In an effort to maximize the use of techniques like the ones described in this paper, we hold regular informal sessions of interested faculty to share ideas on improving teaching teamwork and to develop methods and tools for assessment. The paper and the conference presentation will describe both our approach and the results we have obtained.
EMI DATA CLASSIFICATION PROCESSING AT OPERATIONAL MUNITIONS SITES (2014)

The presence of unexploded ordnance (UXO), discarded military munitions, and munitions debris at both active and formerly used defense sites has created a necessity for production-level efforts to remove these munitions and explosives of concern. Ordnance and explosives removal operations typically employ electromagnetic induction (EMI) or magnetometer surveys to identify potential hazards in previously determined areas of interest. A major cost factor in these operations is the significant allocation of resources for the excavation of harmless objects associated with fragmentation, scrap, or geological clutter. The transition of multi-axis, multi-sensor cued interrogation systems and expert analysis software is allowing for full exploitation of physics-based methods on live production UXO sites. We show examples where this has been applied to demonstrate significant reductions in the number of digs required relative to more traditional methods. We also identify some of the considerations for and the challenges associated with implementing classification methods in production-level surveys. Specifically, we evaluate the implications of deploying an advanced multi-axis EMI sensor at a variety of sites, the classification methodologies that leverage the data produced by this sensor, and the potential for productivity increase that could be realized by incorporating this advanced technology as part of production protocol.

Intelligent Lighting System and Garbage Monitoring System (2018)

This paper aims at designing a system that focusses on two major societal issues in India i.e. improper garbage management and loss of energy from existing street lighting systems. We designed an intelligent lighting system Using embedded systems and machine learning algorithm we predict the environmental lighting conditions and accordingly change the behavior of the street lights. The present street lighting systems use timer or manual interaction to turn on and off the lights. But these methods are not energy efficient. In our model, we used Light Dependent Resistor LDR and algorithm to eliminate those drawbacks. In Garbage monitoring system, alerting the concerned authorities about the level of garbage collected was the most important aspect. In this system, an Ultrasonic sensor along with machine learning algorithm was used to solve the above situation.

Electro-optofluidics: achieving dynamic control on-chip (2012)

A vital element in integrated optofluidics is dynamic tuning and precise control of photonic devices, especially when employing electronic techniques which are challenging to utilize in an aqueous environment. We overcome this challenge by introducing a new platform in which the photonic device is controlled using electro-optical phase tuning. The phase tuning is generated by the thermo-optic effect using an on-chip electric microheater located outside the fluidic channel, and is transmitted to the optofluidic device through optical waveguides. The microheater is compact, high-speed (> 18 kHz), and consumes low power (~mW). We demonstrate dynamic optical trapping control of nanoparticles by an optofluidic resonator. This novel electro-optofluidic platform allows the realization of high throughput optofluidic devices with switching, tuning, and reconfiguration capability, and promises new directions in optofluidics.

Resource block embedding: Towards high throughput broadband multimedia wireless networks (2011)

For orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless systems, a resource block (RB) in a two-dimensional time-frequency plane is defined as a data block spanned by a number of consecutive OFDM symbols over a number of consecutive subcarriers. Traditionally, RBs contain modulation symbols for data transmission and pilot symbols for channel estimation. In this paper, we present a novel approach to RB designs for OFDM systems with multiple antennas at the transmitter and the receiver (i.e., MIMO-OFDM). The proposed approach, termed resource block embedding, does not require explicit pilot symbols to estimate the channel at the receiver, and hence reduces the channel estimation overhead significantly. We describe, in detail, the encoding and decoding algorithms for our proposed embedded resource blocks (ERB) for single-user single-antenna transmission, two transmitter antenna Alamouti code, four transmitter antenna stacked Alamouti code, and multi-stream spatial multiplexing. We also outline construction of ERBs for multi-user MIMO systems.
A Survey on Multi-Active Bridge DC-DC Converters: Power Flow Decoupling Techniques, Applications, and Challenges (2023)

Multi-port DC-DC converters are a promising solution for a wide range of applications involving multiple DC sources, storage elements, and loads. Multi-active bridge (MAB) converters have attracted the interest of researchers over the past two decades due to their potential advantages such as high power density, high transfer ratio, and galvanic isolation, for example, compared to other solutions. However, the coupled power flow nature of MAB converters makes their control implementation difficult, and due to the multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) structure of their control systems, a decoupling control strategy must be designed. Various control and topology-level strategies are proposed to mitigate the coupling effect. This paper discusses the operating principles, applications, methods for analyzing power flow, advanced modulation techniques, and small signal modelling of the MAB converter. Having explained the origin of cross-coupling, the existing power flow decoupling methods are reviewed, categorized, and compared in terms of effectiveness and implementation complexity.

[2]Borametallocenophanes of Zr and Hf:  Synthesis, Structure, and Polymerization Activity (2005)

The first [2]borametallocenophanes of Zr and Hf are reported, which were obtained from 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)-1,2-dicyclopentadienyldiborane(4). The constitution of these complexes in solution and, for the Hf complex, in the crystalline state is discussed. The title complexes were studied as Ziegler-Natta-type catalyst precursors for the polymerization of ethylene. Both complexes produced PE of high molecular mass up to 1.6 x 106 g/mol, and very interestingly, the Hf complex proved to be as active as its Zr analogue.
Hardware Trust and Assurance through Reverse Engineering: A Survey and Outlook from Image Analysis and Machine Learning Perspectives (2020)

In the context of hardware trust and assurance, reverse engineering has been often considered as an illegal action. Generally speaking, reverse engineering aims to retrieve information from a product, i.e., integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in hardware security-related scenarios, in the hope of understanding the functionality of the device and determining its constituent components. Hence, it can raise serious issues concerning Intellectual Property (IP) infringement, the (in)effectiveness of security-related measures, and even new opportunities for injecting hardware Trojans. Ironically, reverse engineering can enable IP owners to verify and validate the design. Nevertheless, this cannot be achieved without overcoming numerous obstacles that limit successful outcomes of the reverse engineering process. This paper surveys these challenges from two complementary perspectives: image processing and machine learning. These two fields of study form a firm basis for the enhancement of efficiency and accuracy of reverse engineering processes for both PCBs and ICs. In summary, therefore, this paper presents a roadmap indicating clearly the actions to be taken to fulfill hardware trust and assurance objectives.
LTE overview (2011)

Long Term Evolution (LTE) of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) was developed to ensure that the technology remains competitive for the foreseeable future. Requirements for the LTE Rel-8 system include improved system capacity and coverage, improved user experience through higher data rates and reduced latency, reduced deployment and operating costs, and seamless integration with existing systems. The requirements may be broken down into different categories – system performance, latency, coverage, deployment, and complexity. To achieve these goals, new designs for the radio access networks and system architectures are needed.
HIV Infection and Gut Mucosal Immune Function: Updates on Pathogenesis with Implications for Management and Intervention (2010)

HIV is primarily a sexually transmitted infection. However, given that the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) houses most of the body's lymphocytes, including activated memory CD4(+) T cells that are preferential targets for HIV, recent research has focused on the role of the GIT in transmission and pathogenesis. In health, the GIT maintains a balance between immune tolerance and rapid responsiveness. A complex network of innate and adaptive responses maintains this balance, which is severely perturbed in HIV infection. Recent studies have focused on mechanisms of GIT CD4(+) T-cell depletion and epithelial disruption in HIV infection, the role of inflammation in accelerating viral dissemination, the kinetics of the adaptive response following transmission, and the extent of T-cell reconstitution following antiretroviral therapy. This review summarizes the results of recent investigations that may have important implications for the development of vaccines, microbicides, and therapeutic interventions for HIV and other mucosal pathogens.

Superconducting Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O thin films with zero resistance at temperatures of up to 120 K (1988)

We have prepared superconducting Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O thin films on a variety of substrates with transition temperatures as high as ≂120 K, confirmed by sharp onsets of substantial Meissner and shielding signals at the same temperatures. The properties of the films are found to depend sensitively on the post-annealing conditions. Highly textured c-axis-oriented films comprised mostly of Tl2Ca1Ba2Cu2Ox, Tl1Ca2Ba2Cu3Ox, and Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3Ox were synthesized by varying the annealing procedure with corresponding maximum superconducting transition temperatures of ≂100, 110, and 120 K, respectively.
(Invited) SiC Power Devices for Next Generation Energy Efficiency (2011)

Silicon carbide (SiC) materials technology has made rapid advances in recent years. While increasing the wafer diameter from 75 mm to 100 mm, the substrate quality has been greatly improved with much reduced defect density, resulting in higher device yields. Cree is poised to increase the wafer diameter to 150mm in 2012, which will further reduce the cost of SiC devices. SiC Schottky diodes have demonstrated very high reliability in the field and are being extensively used in Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), and solar inverters, and other applications. Cree has also commercially released a 1200 V, 20 A SiC MOSFET which has been used in solar inverter along with SiC Schottky diode to provide an efficiency gain of 2.36%. More recent R&amp;D results at Cree indicate that the on-resistance of the MOSFET can be reduced by 2x, which will further improve performance and reduce cost.
Multinuclear Magnetic Resonance and DFT Studies of the Poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene-alt-ethyl vinyl ether) Copolymers (2009)

Chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) and ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) were reacted under radical conditions to produce the poly(CTFE-co-EVE) alternating copolymer, and a full 13C, 1H, and 19F NMR structural interpretation is offered. All spectra were characterized by broad signals resulting from the overlapping of different chemical shifts. This observation was rationalized by considering a complex mixture of diastereomerically related compounds, hence allowing an average assignment to be determined. A density functional theory (DFT) computational study of the isotropic magnetic shieldings with the GIAO and CSGT methods was performed to explore the diasteriomeric relationships between the single building blocks and their mutual influences along the polymer chain. The calculated results totally support the assignment of the experimental chemical shifts of two diasteriomeric sets of resonances indicating chiral center inversion, and not spin−spin J coupling interactions, as the main cause of spectral complexity.
HDFx: a novel biologic immunomodulator is therapeutically -effective in hemorrhagic and intestinal-ischemic shock: importance of microcirculatory-immunological interactions and their potential implications for the warfighter and disaster victims. (2011)

Recently, we have reported on the discovery of a new, conserved protein (35-40 kD), termed HDFx, that protects rats, guinea-pigs, mice and rabbits against lethal hemorrhage, endotoxins, and traumatic injury when given, systemically, as a pretreatment. HDFx was also found to stimulate several arms of the immune system. The present report demonstrates, for the first time, that HDFx ,when administered post-hemorrhage and post-intestinal ischemia shock -trauma, yields increased survival rates, elevates falling arterial blood pressures, possesses unique actions in the microvasculature, stimulates depressed RES phagocytosis (normally observed in animals and humans during blood loss, sepsis and trauma), and preserves cytokine levels in lymphocytes obtained from animals subjected to hemorrhage and traumatic shock. We believe that HDFx presents a potential brand new therapeutic approach:1)for the injured warfighter on the battlefield, 2)for victims of major disasters, 3)as an adjunct for patients undergoing high -risk surgical procedures commonly found in open-heart surgery, cancers, and in neurosurgeries. Use of HDFx could potentially allow oncologists to decrease chemotherapy dosing, while increasing patient survival chances.

Systematic ligand variation to modulate the electrochemical properties of iron and manganese complexes (2019)

A series of iron(+iii) and manganese(+ii) complexes based on the dpaqR-ligand system (dpaq = 2-[bis(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)]amino-N-quinolin-8-yl-acetamide) were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) to elucidate how the electronic properties of the ligands influence the overpotential and catalytic current in the context of water oxidation catalysis. For the Fe-complexes an electron withdrawing NO2 or CF3 group attached to the 5-position of the quinoline unit increased the catalytic current, but only with a simultaneous increase of the overpotential. However, when a pyrene moiety was attached to the dipicolylamine unit of the ligand, the overpotential decreased with concomitant increase of the catalytic current. Although the manganese complexes showed no reversible formation of a molecular catalytically active species for water oxidation, the variations of the ligand scaffold affected largely the same trends in their electrochemical behavior.
