From Graphene-like Sheet Stabilized Emulsions to Composite Polymeric Foams: Molecular Dynamics Simulations (2018)

We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the formation of composite polymeric foams made by templated polymerization of emulsions stabilized by graphene sheets (G-sheets) acting as 2D surfactants. To demonstrate the affinity of the 2-D sheets to the interface between two immiscible A and B type solvents, we use the potential of the mean force (PMF) calculations. This study shows that the PMF curves converge to the universal form with increasing sheet size. Furthermore, the sheets’ affinity toward the interface diminishes with an increasing degree of substitution of the sites with A-solvent philic groups. The simulations of the emulsion stability show that the final emulsion structure depends on the emulsion composition and degree of modification of the sheets such that for 50% of the sheet site substitution one has inverted emulsion morphology. Composite polymeric foams are obtained by polymerization of the emulsion continuous phase and by removing the solvent minority phase. The mechanical properties of the foams are studied as a function of the sheet size and emulsion composition. In particular, the Young’s modulus of the composite foams monotonically increases with increasing the fraction of the G-sheets in the precursor emulsion. In the limit of small deformations, the stress–strain curves of composite foam deformation show convergence to a universal deformation curve with increasing sheet size. However, this universality breaks down in the limit of large deformations where deformation of the polymeric matrix dominates foam’s elastic response.
High energy terahertz emission from two-color laser-induced filamentation in air with pump pulse duration control (2009)

Two-color laser-induced femtosecond filamentation was employed to generate high energy terahertz emission in air with high energy pump. By controlling the pump pulse duration, more than four times enhancement in terahertz pulse energy has been obtained when compared with a Fourier transform-limited pump. Multiple filaments’ dynamics might be responsible for the terahertz enhancement. Superbroadband terahertz pulse with energy up to 2 μJ was generated using loose focusing condition, while the maximum terahertz pulse energy in the frequency range below 5.5 THz was around 60 nJ.
Selective development of a strong Th2 cytokine profile in high‐risk children who develop atopy: risk factors and regulatory role of IFN‐γ, IL‐4 and IL‐10 (2001)

Our data indicate that the first 6 months of life represent a critical time window for the initiation of immunological changes resulting in the development of atopy. The selective development of a Th2 cytokine profile in high-risk children who develop atopy is due to increased production of Th2 cytokines, possibly caused by impaired allergen-induced IFN-gamma production in the neonatal period. Furthermore, the decreased allergen-induced IL-10 levels observed in the atopic children at 12 months of age may result in a lack of down-regulation of the inflammatory process.
Effect of Aluminum Fluoride on the Physical Properties and Stability of Fluorozirconate and Fluorozirco‐Hafnate Glasses (1990)

The glass quality, physical properties, and thermal stability of fluorozirconate and fluorozirco‐hafnate glasses were investigated as a function of the AIF 3 content. The AlF 3 concentration varied from 2 to 3.25 mol%. The ratio of the other components was constant, except for 50% substitution of ZrF 4 by HfF 4 in the fluorozirco‐hafnate glasses. The physical properties of all the glasses were not affected strongly by the AlF 3 content. However, the fluorozirco‐hafnate glasses were prone to precipitate out AlF 3 microcrystals for AlF 3 contents greater than 3 mol%. The thermal stability of the glasses revealed a compositional dependence only in the case of the fluorozirco‐hafnate glasses. The thermal stability decreased as the AlF 3 content increased above 3 mol%. The authors concluded that the AlF 3 microcrystals nucleated other fluoride phases such as zirconium‐barium fluoride crystals.
Pulsed bias effect on roughness of TiO2:Nb films deposited by grid assisted magnetron sputtering (2015)

Abstract In this work Nb-doped TiO 2 (TiO 2 :Nb) films were deposited by reactive sputtering. The substrate was biased with negative pulses to change the energy of the ions nearby the sample surface during the deposition. As consequence, the film crystalline structure and roughness were changed. It was verified that higher energy favours the rutile growth with a higher roughness, even under low temperature as 300°C, and the material structure can be controlled by setting the duty cycle, voltage and frequency of the switched power supply applied to the substrate.
Fabrication of 0.1 um metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors with the atomic force microscope (1995)

Using the atomic force microscope (AFM), we have fabricated a metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) on silicon with an effective channel length of 0.1 um. The lithography at the gate level was performed with the scanning tip of the AFM. The gate was defined by electric-field-enhanced selective oxidation of the amorphous silicon gate electrode. The electrical characteristics were reasonable with a transconductance of 279 mS/mm and a threshold voltage of 0.55 V. Â© 1995 American Institute of Physics.
Protective Effect of Antibody to Parainfluenza Type 1 Virus (1966)

PARAINFLUENZA Type 1 virus is an important cause of acute respiratory disease in infants and children.1 , 2 During primary infection the lower respiratory tract is often involved, and illness may be quite severe. Initial infection usually occurs during childhood, and most older children and adults have serum neutralizing antibody to this virus.2 Reinfection with Type 1 virus has been observed in adults under both experimental and natural conditions despite the presence of serum neutralizing antibody.3 4 5 Illness associated with reinfection is generally mild and limited to the upper respiratory tract.Adults and older children undergoing reinfection probably constitute an important source of . . .
Investigation of Multiple Decoupled Coil Primary Pad Topologies in Lumped IPT Systems for Interoperable Electric Vehicle Charging (2014)

Today many vehicle manufacturers are interested in an inductive power transfer system design with a secondary side that is simple and low in cost, weight, and size. To achieve this, a more sophisticated primary side design is required to ensure interoperability with various magnetic topologies. Simple secondary pads such as the circular pad and double-D pad (DDP) (similar to the flat solenoid) can only couple either the perpendicular or parallel component of flux entering the surface of the pad respectively. This paper investigates using various known multiple coil pad designs as the primary that can be switched between various excitation modes during operation, without making tuning or other expensive adjustments. The primary pads considered here include; the DDP, the double-D quadrature pad (DDQP) and the bipolar pad (BPP). Results show that the mutually coupled structure of the DDP primary makes it a poor choice for interoperability, whereas the DDQP and BPP are able to achieve good results because of the decoupled coil structures inherent in their design. The DDQP has improved leakage characteristics while the BPP shows better interoperability characteristics with improved material usage efficiency and is easy to drive because of its identical coil structures.
Cooperative Vaccinia Infection Demonstrated at the Single-Cell Level Using FluidFM (2012)

The mechanisms used by viruses to enter and replicate within host cells are subjects of intense investigation. These studies are ultimately aimed at development of new drugs that interfere with these processes. Virus entry and infection are generally monitored by dispensing bulk virus suspensions on layers of cells without accounting for the fate of each virion. Here, we take advantage of the recently developed FluidFM to deposit single vaccinia virions onto individual cells in a controlled manner. While the majority of virions were blocked prior to early gene expression, infection of individual cells increased in a nondeterministic fashion with respect to the number of viruses placed. Microscopic analyses of several stages of the virus lifecycle indicated that this was the result of cooperativity between virions during early stages of infection. These findings highlight the importance of performing controlled virus infection experiments at the single cell level.

Mosaic partial trisomy 19p12‐q13.11 due to a small supernumerary marker chromosome: A locus associated with Asperger syndrome? (2011)

In the neurodevelopmentally impaired population the frequency of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMC) is about 0.3%. To find the origin of a sSMC in a 4-year-old boy with Asperger syndrome (AS) a microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), using a 135K-feature whole-genome microarray, and Metaphase FISH analysis, was performed. The sSMC was characterized as being composed of 18.4 Mb from 19p12q13.11. Based on the size and genic content, it is expected that the partial trisomy detected is responsible for the characteristics observed in the patient. In that case it could be an indication of a novel locus associated with AS.
3D People Tracking with Gaussian Process Dynamical Models (2006)

We advocate the use of Gaussian Process Dynamical Models (GPDMs) for learning human pose and motion priors for 3D people tracking. A GPDM provides a lowdimensional embedding of human motion data, with a density function that gives higher probability to poses and motions close to the training data. With Bayesian model averaging a GPDM can be learned from relatively small amounts of data, and it generalizes gracefully to motions outside the training set. Here we modify the GPDM to permit learning from motions with significant stylistic variation. The resulting priors are effective for tracking a range of human walking styles, despite weak and noisy image measurements and significant occlusions.

Caractérisation des variétés de tournesol face au verticillium : mise au point d’un protocole en lien avec la nuisibilité de la maladie. (2021)

Sunflower verticillium wilt is caused by a fungus, Verticillium dahliae, which attacks plants through their root systems. Gradually colonizing the vascular system of plants, it causes necrosis on the leaves, which can lead to complete premature ripening of the plants. In order to clarify the harmfulness of the disease, a project associating Terres Inovia, GEVES, UFS (Union française des semenciers) and six seed companies, was carried out in 2016. Eleven varieties, chosen torepresent the full range of behaviors against this disease (from susceptible varieties to varieties with a good behaviour) and to explore a wide range of yield potential and richness in oil, were tested on nine platforms. The harmfulness of the disease is explained by the highest class of severity of symptoms, a class which is characterized by the presence of symptoms on almost all the leaves of the plant: -2 q / ha and -0.3 point oil content per 10% of plants in this class. This harmfulness appears stable, whatever the behavior of the variety. Within the framework of the registration - post-registration continuum, an operational protocol for evaluating varieties against this disease is now offered to breeders as soon as they register for the French Catalog, consistent with the post-registration protocol.
Hardware/software partitioning with multi-version implementation exploration (2008)

Hardware/software partitioning is an increasingly common technique that maps critical regions of a software application into custom hardware to achieve application speedup. Most previous partitioning approaches assume that each application region has only a single hardware implementation. However, code regions typically can be implemented as many different versions that tradeoff performance and area, as in the case of a loop that can be unrolled by different amounts. We introduce a new formulation of hardware/software partitioning that integrates multiple versions of region implementations, improving performance by more than 27% on average compared to partitioning with a single implementation. We present an optimal ILP solution, and introduce an efficient heuristic that achieves solutions within 0% to 8% of the optimal while running in less than one second for large problem sizes.
Rank Awareness in Joint Sparse Recovery (2012)

This paper revisits the sparse multiple measurement vector (MMV) problem, where the aim is to recover a set of jointly sparse multichannel vectors from incomplete measurements. This problem is an extension of single channel sparse recovery, which lies at the heart of compressed sensing. Inspired by the links to array signal processing, a new family of MMV algorithms is considered that highlight the role of rank in determining the difficulty of the MMV recovery problem. The simplest such method is a discrete version of MUSIC which is guaranteed to recover the sparse vectors in the full rank MMV setting, under mild conditions. This idea is extended to a rank aware pursuit algorithm that naturally reduces to Order Recursive Matching Pursuit (ORMP) in the single measurement case while also providing guaranteed recovery in the full rank setting. In contrast, popular MMV methods such as Simultaneous Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (SOMP) and mixed norm minimization techniques are shown to be rank blind in terms of worst case analysis. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the rank aware techniques are significantly better than existing methods in dealing with multiple measurements.
Pharmacogenomics of Blood Lipid Regulation (2018)

Blood lipids are important modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease and various drugs have been developed to target lipid fractions. Considerable efforts have been made to identify genetic variants that modulate responses to drugs in the hope of optimizing their use. Pharmacogenomics and new biotechnologies now allow for meaningful integration of human genetic findings and therapeutic development for increased efficiency and precision of lipid-lowering drugs. Polygenic predictors of disease risk are also changing how patient populations can be stratified, enabling targeted therapeutic interventions to patients more likely to derive the highest benefit, marking a shift from single variant to genomic approaches in pharmacogenomics.
Phantoms for radiation measurements of mobile phones (2002)

Measurements of radiation efficiency for a handheld phone equipped with a patch and a helical antenna operated near the human user have been performed. Both measurements include a simple head plus hand phantom and live persons are considered. The position of the hand on the phone is found to be the main reason for the large variation in radiation efficiency among persons. The tilt angle of the phone and the distance between the head and phone only play a minor role.
Toward Foraging for Understanding of StarCraft Agents: An Empirical Study (2017)

Assessing and understanding intelligent agents is a difficult task for users that lack an AI background. A relatively new area, called "Explainable AI," is emerging to help address this problem, but little is known about how users would forage through information an explanation system might offer. To inform the development of Explainable AI systems, we conducted a formative study, using the lens of Information Foraging Theory, into how experienced users foraged in the domain of StarCraft to assess an agent. Our results showed that participants faced difficult foraging problems. These foraging problems caused participants to entirely miss events that were important to them, reluctantly choose to ignore actions they did not want to ignore, and bear high cognitive, navigation, and information costs to access the information they needed.
Direct Interface between Digital Microfluidics and High Performance Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (2015)

We introduce an automated method to facilitate in-line coupling of digital microfluidics (DMF) with HPLC-MS, using a custom, 3D-printed manifold and a custom plugin to the popular open-source control system, DropBot. The method was designed to interface directly with commercial autosamplers (with no prior modification), suggesting that it will be widely accessible for end-users. The system was demonstrated to be compatible with samples dissolved in aqueous buffers and neat methanol and was validated by application to a common steroid-labeling derivatization reaction. We propose that the methods described here will be useful for a wide range of applications, combining the automated sample processing power of DMF with the resolving and analytical capacity of HPLC-MS.
Compressive sensing with unknown parameters (2012)

This work addresses target detection from a set of compressive sensing radar measurements corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise. In previous work, we studied target localization using compressive sensing in the spatial domain, i.e., the use of an undersampled MIMO radar array, and proposed the Multi-Branch Matching Pursuit (MBMP) algorithm, which requires knowledge of the number of targets. Generalizing the MBMP algorithm, we propose a framework for target detection, which has several important advantages over previous methods: (i) it is fully adaptive; (ii) it addresses the general multiple measurement vector (MMV) setting; (iii) it provides a finite data records analysis of false alarm and detection probabilities, which holds for any measurement matrix. Using numerical simulations, we show that the proposed algorithm is competitive with respect to state-of-the-art compressive sensing algorithms for target detection.
MECHANISMS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ODOROUS VOLATILE AROMATIC COMPOUNDS IN WASTEWATER BIOSOLIDS (2004)

MECHANISMS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ODOROUS VOLATILE AROMATIC COMPOUNDS IN WASTEWATER BIOSOLIDSSeveral odorous volatile aromatic compounds (OVACs) were identified through GC-MS analysis of headspace samples from stored biosolids, including toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, ρ-cresol, indole, and skatole. These OVACs were recovered even after 45 days of storage. The gas production profiles indicate that these compounds decreased as volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs) increased, and...Author(s)Yen-Chih ChenMatthew HigginsSudhir MurthyNicholas MaasKevin CovertJonathan WeaverWilliam ToffeyMark RupkeDeborah RossSourceProceedings of the Water Environment FederationSubjectSession 10: Odor ControlDocument typeConference PaperPublisherWater Environment FederationPrint publication date Jan, 2004ISSN1938-6478SICI1938-6478(20040101)2004:1L.540;1-DOI10.2175/193864704784342811Volume / Issue2004 / 1Content sourceResiduals and Biosolids ConferenceFirst / last page(s)540 - 553Copyright2004Word count284

For problems sufficiently hard ... AI needs CogSci (2006)

only when these problems are sufficiently hard. When they qualify as such, the best move for the clever AI researcher is to turn not to yet another faster machine bestowed by Moore’s Law, and not to some souped-up version of an instrument in the AI toolbox, but rather to the human mind’s approach to the problem in ques-tion. Despite Turing’s (Turing 1950) prediction, made over half a century ago, that by now his test (the Tur-ing test, of course) would be passed by machines, the best conversational computer can’t out-debate a sharp toddler. The mind is still the most powerful thinking thing in the known universe; a brute fact, this. But what’s a “sufficiently hard ” problem? Well, one possibility is that it’s a problem in a set of those which are Turing-solvable, but which takes a lot
Myosin 5a Is an Insulin-Stimulated Akt2 (Protein Kinase Bβ) Substrate Modulating GLUT4 Vesicle Translocation (2007)

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation of Akt signaling is critical to insulin-stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation. However, the downstream signaling events following Akt activation which mediate glucose transport stimulation remain relatively unknown. Here we identify an Akt consensus phosphorylation motif in the actin-based motor protein myosin 5a and show that insulin stimulation leads to phosphorylation of myosin 5a at serine 1650. This Akt-mediated phosphorylation event enhances the ability of myosin 5a to interact with the actin cytoskeleton. Small interfering RNA-induced inhibition of myosin 5a and expression of dominant-negative myosin 5a attenuate insulin-stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation. Furthermore, knockdown of Akt2 or expression of dominant-negative Akt (DN-Akt) abolished insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of myosin 5a, inhibited myosin 5a binding to actin, and blocked insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Taken together, these data indicate that myosin 5a is a newly identified direct substrate of Akt2 and, upon insulin stimulation, phosphorylated myosin 5a facilitates anterograde movement of GLUT4 vesicles along actin to the cell surface.
Thermal characterization of bare-die stacked modules with Cu through-vias (2002)

This paper describes the thermal characteristics of three dimensional (3-D) modules where four bare-dies with Cu through-vias are vertically stacked and electrically connected through the Cu-vias and the metal bumps. To realize more accurate thermal analysis for the 3D-modules in the earlier stage of the process development, a series of simple thermal resistance measurements by laser-flash method and parametric numerical analyses have been carried out. First, the thermal effects of the interface between two layers were quantified on the basis of the results of the laser-flash method. Second, using experimental interfacial thermal resistance, the thermal conduction analyses for 3D-modules were carried out. The key parameters governing the thermal performance of bare-die stacked modules and the design guideline of the thermal bumps are presented.
