TH-sequence construction for centralised UWB-IR systems in dispersive channels (2004)

A novel time hopping sequence construction algorithm is proposed for centralised impulse radio systems. The proposed multiple accessing method takes into account the number of active users in the system and maximum excess delay of the channel. By carefully grouping the time hopping sequences, orthogonality of the codes are preserved despite multipath up to a certain number of users. For a larger number of users, the proposed code construction minimises the overall performance degradation.
Displays for telemanipulation (1989)

Visual displays drive the human operator's highest bandwidth sensory input channel. Thus, no telemanipulation system is adequate which does not make extensive use of visual displays. Although an important use of visual displays is the presentation of a televised image of the work scene, visual displays are examined for presentation of nonvisual information (forces and torques) for simulation and planning, and for management and control of the large numbers of subsystems which make up a modern telemanipulation system.

HAMLeT Architecture for Parallel Data Reorganization in Memory (2015)

3D-stacked integration of DRAM and logic layers using through-silicon via (TSV) technology has given rise to a new interpretation of near-data processing (NDP) concepts that were proposed decades ago. However, processing capability within the stack is limited by stringent power and thermal constraints. Simple processing mechanisms with intensive memory accesses, such as data reorganization, are an effective means of exploiting 3D stacking-based NDP. Data reorganization handled completely in memory improves the host processor's memory access performance. However, in-memory data reorganization performed in parallel with host memory accesses raises issues, including interference, bandwidth allocation, and coherence. Previous work has mainly focused on performing data reorganization while blocking host accesses. This article details data reorganization performed in parallel with host memory accesses, providing mechanisms to address host/NDP interference, flexible bandwidth allocation, and in-memory coherence.
Security Rules Specification and Analysis Based on Passive Testing (2008)

Security is a critical issue in dynamic and open distributed environments such as network-based services or wireless networks. To ensure that a certain level of security is maintained in such environments, the system behavior has to be restrained by a security policy in order to regulate the nature and the context of actions that can be performed within the system, according to specific roles. In this paper, we propose a passive testing approach that permits to check whether a system respects its security policy. To reach this goal, we specify this policy using 'Nomad' formal language which is based on deontic and temporal logics. This language is well adapted to passive testing methods that aim to analyze collected system execution traces in order to give a verdict about their conformity with to the system security requirements. Finally, we apply our methodology to an industrial case study provided by SAP group to demonstrate its reliability.
Potential Dependence and Time Evolution of the Double Layer Structure and Topography of Silver Electrodes Part II: Roughened Silver Films (1984)

Abstract Silver films were electrochemically roughened by oxidation/reduction cycles in different solutions. — Aging of these films in contact with electrolyte solution was monitored for various potentials by means of double layer capacitance measurements. No specifically adsorbable species were present during the aging process. The surface flattening taking place is strongly dependent of the initial microstructure developed during the roughening cycle. — The influence of traces of dissolved oxygen as the main “impurity” was studied in detail. The capacitance/potential curves indicate a pH dependent adsorption/desorption of the superoxide ion O 2 − . The effect of this process on the mechanism of the O 2 ‐reduction is discussed.
Perfluorocarbons: Life sciences and biomedical uses Dedicated to the memory of Professor Guy Ourisson, a true RENAISSANCE man. (2007)

Abstract Perfluorocarbons are primarily characterized by outstanding chemical and biological inertness, and intense hydrophobic and lipophobic effects. The latter effects provide a powerful noncovalent, labile binding interaction that can promote selective self‐ assembly. Perfluoro compounds do not mimic nature, yet they can offer abiotic building blocks for the de novo design of functional biopolymers and alternative solutions to physiologically vital issues. They offer new tags useful for molecular recognition, selective sorting, and templated binding (e.g., selective peptide and nucleic acid pairing). They also stabilize membranes and provide micro‐ and nanocompartmented fluorous environments. Perfluorocarbons provide inert, apolar carrier fluids for lab‐on‐a‐chip experiments and assays using microfluidic technologies. Low water solubility, combined with high vapor pressure, allows stabilization of injectable microbubbles that serve as contrast agents for diagnostic ultrasound imaging. High gas solubilities are the basis for an abiotic means for intravascular oxygen delivery. Other biomedical applications of fluorocarbons include lung surfactant replacement and ophthalmologic aids. Diverse colloids with fluorocarbon phases and/or shells are being investigated for molecular imaging using ultrasound or magnetic resonance, and for targeted drug delivery. Highly fluorinated polymers provide a range of inert materials (e.g., fluorosilicons, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) for contact lenses, reconstructive surgery (e.g., vascular grafts), and other devices. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Antibacterial Investigation using Spectrophotometric Assay of the Polar Leaf Extracts of Ficus capensis (Moraceae) (2020)

This study was designed to explore new antibacterial agent(s) from the defatted methanol and water extracts of Ficus capensis. The extracts were obtained using various solvents, namely, cyclohexane, dichloromethane, methanol, and water by serial exhaustive extraction, after which both extracts were challenged with pure clinical isolates of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Burkolderia cepacia viz-a-viz standard antibiotics of chloramphenicol, gentamicin, and amoxicillin at 25 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml, and 100 μg/ml concentrations using spectrophotometric method. Using the zone of inhibition as an inhibitory parameter, both extracts of F. capensis showed promising antimicrobial activity in a concentration-dependent manner comparable to the standard antibiotics for all tested microorganisms. This research holds promise for the exploration of various potentially active secondary metabolites which would help in developing pharmaceuticals, especially antibacterial drugs, for combating common microbial infections. This validates the use of the plant leaves in the treatment of broad-spectrum microbial infections in ethnomedicine.
10-Gb/s 1.59-$\mu \text{m}$ DFB-LD Transmission Over 20 km SMF With No Compensation (2015)

We present a 10-Gb/s 1.59-μm directly modulated laser (DML) capable of a 20-km transmission in a standard single-mode fiber without the use of any other compensation techniques. For the fabricated distributed feedback laser diode chips, the static, dynamic, and transmission properties were tested. During these tests, it appears that the signal quality was improved after a certain transmission distance. To examine the change in signal shape during the transmission, a time-resolved back-to-back signal was measured and its transmission properties simulated. The simulated results of a time-resolved signal show good agreement with those obtained from a transmission test. As a result, it was confirmed that a 10-Gb/s DML signal (with an extinction ratio of 4 to 5 dB) can be transmitted at up to 20 km with a power penalty of less than 1 dB.

Nucleic Acid Hybridization: Triplex Stability and Energetics (1995)

In this chapter, we review the current state of the thermodynamic database for triple helical oligonucleotide hybridization reactions and present a critical assessment of the methods used to obtain the relevant data. The thermodynamic stability of triple-helix oligonucleotide constructs is discussed in terms of its dependence on temperature, chain length, pH, salt, base sequence, base and backbone modifications, and ligand binding. In particular, we examine the coupling of hybridization equilibria to proton, cation, and drug-binding equilibria. Throughout the chapter, we emphasize that a detailed understanding of the endogenous and exogenous variables that control triplex stability is required for the rational design of oligonucleotides for specific therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or biotechnological applications, as well as for elucidating the potential cellular roles of these higher-order nucleic acid complexes.
Local and non-local magnetoresistance with spin precession in highly doped Si (2011)

We have demonstrated comparison of spin accumulation voltages in local and non-local (NL) magnetoresistance measurements without any spurious megnetoresistive signals. The spin transport length in a local measurement was larger than that in a NL measurement. An intensity of the local signals was explained by a conductivity mismatch theory. Depending on the relative magnetic configurations, Hanle-type spin precession signals in the local and the NL schemes showed a clear difference in signal shapes. The local transporting spins are accelerated in the direction of the electric field, and precess around the direction of the magnetic field under the detector electrode.

Adiponectin Receptor Signaling on Dendritic Cells Blunts Antitumor Immunity (2014)

Immune escape is a fundamental trait of cancer. Dendritic cells (DC) that interact with T cells represent a crucial site for the development of tolerance to tumor antigens, but there remains incomplete knowledge about how DC-tolerizing signals evolve during tumorigenesis. In this study, we show that DCs isolated from patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer express high levels of the adiponectin receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, which are sufficient to blunt antitumor immunity. Mechanistic investigations of ligand-receptor interactions on DCs revealed novel signaling pathways for each receptor. AdipoR1 stimulated IL10 production by activating the AMPK and MAPKp38 pathways, whereas AdipoR2 modified inflammatory processes by activating the COX-2 and PPARγ pathways. Stimulation of these pathways was sufficient to block activation of NF-κB in DC, thereby attenuating their ability to stimulate antigen-specific T-cell responses. Together, our findings reveal novel insights into how DC-tolerizing signals evolve in cancer to promote immune escape. Furthermore, by defining a critical role for adiponectin signaling in this process, our work suggests new and broadly applicable strategies for immunometabolic therapy in patients with cancer.
<title>Microstructural control of thin film thermal conductivity</title> (1992)

Previous studies have investigated the possible effects of thin film thermal conductivity on laser damage thresholds and the phenomenon of anomalously low thermal conductivity values for materials in thin film form. Here we discuss the primary microstructural mechanisms for the high thermal resistance found in thin films. By studying a number of thin film systems, we found that many factors contribute to the reduction in conductivity, and that primary mechanisms for thermal resistance depend on film material and processing conditions. Rare earth-transition metal films were studied to illustrate the effect of columnar microstructure, ZrO<SUB>2</SUB> to show the effects of varying crystal structure, YBa<SUB>2</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>7-(delta</SUB> ) to show the effects of crystal structure anisotropy and hillock growth, and AIN to show the effects of impurities, dimensional effects, and nanocrystalline microstructure.

The Japanese Guideline for Cervical Cancer Screening (2010)

Cervical cancer is the 11th leading cause of death from cancer for females in Japan. In 2005, there were 2486 deaths from cervical cancer, accounting for 1.8% of the total number of cancer deaths in Japan. Cervical cancer screening using conventional cytology has been conducted worldwide. The guideline for cervical cancer screening was developed based on the established method. The efficacies of conventional and liquid-based cytology, human papillomavirus testing alone and two combination methods were evaluated. On the basis of the balance of the benefits and harms, recommendations for population-based and opportunistic screening were formulated. Five methods of cervical cancer screening were evaluated. On the basis of the analytic framework involving key questions, 3450 articles published from January 1985 to October 2007 were selected using MEDLINE and other methods. After the systematic literature review, 66 articles were confirmed. The results of 33 studies were consistent, and the evidence was sufficient to evaluate the effect of conventional cytology screening. The accuracy of liquid-based cytology was almost equal to that of conventional cytology. Although human papillomavirus testing and combination methods showed high sensitivity, no study has evaluated the reduction in mortality from cervical cancer. Except for the possibility of overdiagnosis, no serious adverse effects of cervical cancer screening were found. Cervical cancer screening using conventional and liquid-based cytology is recommended for population-based and opportunistic screening due to sufficient evidence. Cervical cancer screening using either human papillomavirus testing alone or two combination methods is not recommended for population-based screening due to insufficient evidence.
Completely Solar-Driven Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting Using a Neat Polythiophene Film (2021)

π-Conjugated polymers are emerging as appealing photoelectrode materials for the photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction via water splitting, which has otherwise been extensively explored using inorganic semiconductors. Here, we report the performance of a pure organic semiconductor film as a catalyst for hydrogen production via visible light-driven water splitting. The neat and unsubstituted polythiophene film, characterized with a well-filled grain morphology of the crystalline polymer, is prepared by a facile polymerization method. The photovoltage of 1.38 V versus RHE at pH 12 enables solar-driven one-electron-per-photon water splitting in combination with a traditional water-oxidation catalyst to produce hydrogen and oxygen separately. The high photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 1.02 mol(H2) h−1 g−1 or 0.75 mA/cm2 at 0 V versus RHE is also achieved with high durability. This study may open a new window for π-conjugated polymers for ultimately sustainable hydrogen production.
A fully integrated five-gyrator filter at video frequencies (1978)

An experimental single-chip silicon integrated-circuit filter is described for use in color television receivers. It comprises five gyrator resonators operating in the range 4-6 MHz. This chip provides all the selectivity required to separate the sound, luminance, and chrominance components from the composite video signal, and is tuned by a single bias potential applied to the p-n junction capacitors on the chip. The chip replaces an equivalent LC filter of about 20 discrete components (coils, capacitors, and resistors) which are bulky, are relatively expensive, and suffer from the need for individual screening and alignment. The theory of gyrators related to providing fully integrated selectivity at high frequency is outlined. Performance boundaries in terms of Q-factor, frequency setting accuracy, noise, distortion, and temperature are considered. Design aspects are discussed, first for a gyrator and then for the complete experimental filter chip.

TC PD-L1 expression in combination with PD-1 expression on CD8<sup>+</sup> TIC may predict outcome on nivolumab in mccRCC.
A binary Particle Swarm Optimization approach to fault diagnosis in parallel and distributed systems (2010)

The efficient diagnosis of hardware and software faults in parallel and distributed systems remains a challenge in today's most prolific decentralized environments. System-level fault diagnosis is concerned with the identification of all faulty components among a set of hundreds (or even thousands) of interconnected units, usually by thoroughly examining a collection of test outcomes carried out by the nodes under a specific test model. This task has non-polynomial complexity and can be posed as a combinatorial optimization problem. Here, we apply a binary version of the Particle Swarm Optimization meta-heuristic approach to solve the system-level fault diagnosis problem (BPSO-FD) under the invalidation and comparison diagnosis models. Our method is computationally simpler than those already published in literature and, according to our empirical results, BPSO-FD quickly and reliably identifies the true ensemble of faulty units and scales well for large parallel and distributed systems.

Scaling, Power, and the Future of CMOS Technology (2008)

Over 40 years ago, Gordon Moore wrote a short paper that has come to define this industry. In addition to the prediction that IC device counts would grow exponentially, this paper also described three main challenges to scaling: power, design cost, and what to do with the available functionality. While we have found good uses for the added functionality, power and design cost remain critical issues today, and with the ending of Dennard scaling, power looms as the largest challenge in our ability to continue to scale computing performance. This talk looks briefly at the origins of this power crisis, and then explores architectural and circuit approaches to produce energy efficient designs. The results have some interesting implications for device design.
