Scintillation Properties of In Doped ZnO With Different In Concentrations (2010)

Using the liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method we prepared the high crystalline quality In <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> doped ZnO thin film scintillators with different Indium concentration of 26, 53, and 141 ppm. We evaluated their optical properties and radiation response, because there are few reports of radiation response of In-doped ZnO scintillator. In order to imitate the scintillator application, we measured the alpha-ray excited luminescence spectra. The emission bands peaking around 375 and 500 nm were observed, and with an increment of In <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3+</sup> , the intensity of both bands decreases. In the measurement of light yield, we optically coupled the sample with PMT R7600 by a silicone grease, and excitation was provided by <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">241</sup> Am 5.5 MeV-rays. The samples showed of about 10% of the light yield of BGO scintillator which was used as a reference. Under the same excitation the scintillation decay was measured in all the samples as well.
Adjustable speed drive motor protection applications and issues: Working group J1 of the rotating machinery protection subcommittee, power system relaying committee (2013)

The uniqueness of the electrical environment (asynchronous connection to power system, variable frequency operation, and harmonics) on the output of adjustable speed drives (ASDs) requires special consideration to be given to the motor protection. The Working Group has investigated and addressed these concerns. This paper announces the report on the findings of this activity and the recommendations made to the motor protection engineer. The full report can be found at www.pes-psrc.org under Published Reports.
Network Explorer (2016)

This paper describes the process of design, implementation, and real world deployment of a web-based network exploration tool called Network Explorer. We designed Network Explorer based on the expressed needs of our clients and later deployed it as part of a larger system for fraud detection in health care. Our implementation of Network Explorer provides visual interactive access to large-scale network data. As part of the Network Explorer tool we contribute a dynamic group-in-a-box implementation for laying out clusters, and a node navigator widget that aids in the exploration of large networks. We are also contributing two open source components of the Network Explorer for the community to reuse: an in-browser clustering library, and the dynamic group-in-a-box algorithm. We have evaluated the network explorer tool in multiple real-world environments including the fraud detection setting above.
Investigation of emission polarization and strain in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells on nanorod epitaxially lateral overgrowth templates (2012)

Non-polar (a-plane) InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on the GaN nanorod epitaxially lateral overgrowth templates with different nanorod height have been fabricated. The average in-plane strain in the InGaN MQWs has been determined from 2.73×10<sup>-2</sup> to 2.58×10<sup>-2</sup> while the nanorod height in templates increases from 0 to 1.7 &#956;m. The polarization ratio of the emission from InGaN MQWs varies from 85 % to 53 % along with the increase of the GaN nanorod height. The reduction of polarization ratio has been attributed to the partial strain relaxation within the epitaxial structures as a result of growth on the GaN nanorod templates and the micro-size air-voids observed in the nanorod templates.
Characterizing underwater noise from industrial pile driving at close range (2010)

Acoustic radiation in the water surrounding a ferry terminal pile driving project has been characterized based on 1/3-octave band filtering. The pressure field at approximately 10 meters is shown to be depth dependent based on data captured using a vertical line array. Decibel measurements of underwater sound are often expressed in reference to several non-interchangeable units, a summary of the differences of these references is presented.
MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES TO HUIFN-ALPHA SPECIES APPLIED TO THE STUDY OF IFN-RECEPTOR INTERACTION INDICATE THAT RECEPTOR DOWN-REGULATION DOES NOT OCCUR IN DAUDI CELLS (1992)

Monoclonal antibodies to HuIFN- alpha species were previously isolated and the reactive epitopes on HuIFN- alpha2 identified. When used in excess concentration the antibodies neutralise the antiviral activity of HuIFN- alpha and inhibit binding of IFN to its receptor on human and bovine cells. However, when used in equimolar concentrations the antibodies bind to IFN bound to its receptor on human but not on bovine cells. Radiolabelled antibodies and radiolabelled ligand have been used to study in detail IFN-receptor interactions in human cells. The use of the monoclonal antibodies has identified differences in the interaction in different cell lines not obvious from ligand binding studies alone. IFN receptors do not appear to be down-regulated in Daudi cells but remain on the cell surface complexed with bound IFN whereas down-regulation does occur in the human epithelial breast carcinoma cell line BT20. Although surface receptors are not decreased in Daudi cells exposed to IFN, the time course of association of radiolabelled IFN with these cells shows that cell associated radioactivity decreases after incubation for more than 1 hr at 37-degrees-C. This result cannot be explained by degradation of exogeneous IFN (which does not occur) and suggests that endogenous IFN may be involved in the interaction of HuIFN- alpha with Daudi cells.
Polymer-Supported O-Methylisourea:  A New Reagent for the O-Methylation of Carboxylic Acids (2002)

[reaction: see text] A solid-supported O-methylisourea reagent has been prepared in one step starting from commercially available solid-supported carbodiimide. The isourea reagent has been successfully used for the preparation of methyl esters from the corresponding carboxylic acids. The crude products obtained after resin filtration and solvent evaporation are generally obtained in >98% purity.
Model Smoothing Using Virtual Adversarial Training for Speech Emotion Estimation (2019)

Emotion estimation by speech increase precision through the development of deep learning. However, most of the emotion estimation using deep learning involves supervised learning, and it is difficult to get a large data set used for learning. In addition, when the training data environment and the actual data environment are significantly different, it is considered as a problem that the accuracy of emotion estimation greatly deteriorates. Therefore, in this study, in order to solves these problems, we used a smooth emotion estimation model by using virtual adversarial training (VAT), which is a semi supervised learning method, that improves the robustness of the model. VAT attracts attention in machine learning as a method of smoothing a generation model by adding minute and intentional perturbation to training data in learning. We first set hyperparameters in VAT by verification with single corpus and then perform evaluation experiments with cross corpus to show the improvement of model robustness.
Linearized high efficient HBT power amplifier module for L-band application (2002)

A new on-chip linearizer that is applicable to L-band application is proposed. It is composed of base-emitter diode of the active bias transistor and a capacitor for RF signal shorting to the base node of the active bias transistor, which improves the gain compression and phase advance of the power amplifier with no additional DC power consumption, and has negligible signal loss with almost no increase in die area. The linearizer increases the 1 dB gain compression point by 18 dB and phase distortion by 16.49/spl deg/ while maintaining the base bias voltage of the power amplifier. A PCS and W-CDMA dual band power amplifier with single input, single output, and no switch for band selection is implemented by designing the amplifier with broadband characteristics, and exhibits an output power of 28.97(28.3) dBm, PAE of 44.7(37.4)%, and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of -41(-45) dBc at the output power of 28(28) dBm under 3.0 V operation voltage for PCS(W-CDMA) applications.
Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor GPD-1116 markedly attenuates the development of cigarette smoke-induced emphysema in senescence-accelerated mice P1 strain (2007)

Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is an intracellular enzyme specifically degrading cAMP, a second messenger exerting inhibitory effects on many inflammatory cells. To investigate whether GPD-1116 (a PDE4 inhibitor) prevents murine lungs from developing cigarette smoke-induced emphysema, the senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM) P1 strain was exposed to either fresh air or cigarette smoke for 8 wk with or without oral administration of GPD-1116. We confirmed the development of smoke-induced emphysema in SAMP1 [air vs. smoke (means +/- SE); the mean linear intercepts (MLI), 52.9 +/- 0.8 vs. 68.4 +/- 4.2 microm, P < 0.05, and destructive index (DI), 4.5% +/- 1.3% vs. 16.0% +/- 0.4%, P < 0.01]. Emphysema was markedly attenuated by GPD-1116 (MLI = 57.0 +/- 1.4 microm, P < 0.05; DI = 8.2% +/- 0.6%, P < 0.01) compared with smoke-exposed SAMP1 without GPD-1116. Smoke-induced apoptosis of lung cells were also reduced by administration of GPD-1116. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-12 activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was increased by smoke exposure (air vs. smoke, 4.1 +/- 1.1 vs. 40.5 +/- 16.2 area/microg protein; P < 0.05), but GPD-1116 significantly decreased MMP-12 activity in smoke-exposed mice (5.3 +/- 2.1 area/microg protein). However, VEGF content in lung tissues and BALF decreased after smoke exposure, and the decrease was not markedly restored by oral administration of GPD-1116. Our study suggests that GPD-1116 attenuates smoke-induced emphysema by inhibiting the increase of smoke-induced MMP-12 activity and protecting lung cells from apoptosis, but is not likely to alleviate cigarette smoke-induced decrease of VEGF in SAMP1 lungs.
Very Low Temperature Epitaxy of Group-IV Semiconductors for Use in FinFET, Stacked Nanowires and Monolithic 3D Integration (2019)

As CMOS scaling proceeds with sub-10 nm nodes, new architectures and materials are implemented to continue increasing performances at constant footprint. Strained and stacked channels and 3D-integrated devices have for instance been introduced for this purpose. A common requirement for these new technologies is a strict limitation in thermal budgets to preserve the integrity of devices already present on the chips. We present our latest developments on low-temperature epitaxial growth processes, ranging from channel to source/drain applications for a variety of devices and describe options to address the upcoming challenges.
Using ResNet feature extraction in computer-aided diagnosis of breast cancer on 927 lesions imaged with multiparametric MRI (2020)

In this study, we aim to develop a multiparametric breast MRI computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) methodology using residual neural network (ResNet) deep transfer learning to incorporate information from both dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and T2-weighted (T2w) MRI in the task of distinguishing between benign and malignant breast lesions. This retrospective study included 927 unique lesions from 616 women who underwent breast MR exams. A pre-trained ResNet50 was used to extract features from the maximum intensity projection (MIP) images of the second postcontrast subtraction DCE series and the center slice of the T2w series separately. Support vector machine classifiers were trained on the ResNet features to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. The benefit of pooling features extracted from multiple levels of the network was examined on DCE MIPs. Three multiparametric methods were investigated, where information from the two sequences was integrated at the image level, feature level, or classifier level. Classification performances were evaluated with five-fold cross-validation using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) as the figure of merit. Using pooled features extracted from multiple layers of the ResNet statistically significantly outperformed only using features extracted from the end of the network (P = .002, 95% CI of &utri;AUC: [0.007, 0.029]). The multiparametric classifiers using pooled features yielded AUC<sub>ImageFusion</sub>=0.85&plusmn;0.01, AUC<sub>FeatureFusion</sub>=0.87&plusmn;0.01, and AUC<sub>ClassifierFusion</sub>=0.86&plusmn;0.01, respectively. The feature fusion method statistically significantly outperformed using DCE alone (P = .01, 95% CI of &utri;AUC: [0.004, 0.022]), and all three methods statistically significantly outperformed using T2w alone (P &lt; .001).
The ELF Honest Data Broker: informatics enabling public–private collaboration in a precompetitive arena (2015)

New precompetitive ways of working in the pharmaceutical industry are driving the development of new informatics systems to enable their execution and management. The European Lead Factory (ELF) is a precompetitive, 30-partner collaboration between academic groups, small-medium enterprises and pharmaceutical companies created to discover small molecule hits against novel biological targets. A unique HTS screening and triage workflow has been developed to balance the intellectual property and scientific requirements of all the partners. Here, we describe the ELF Honest Data Broker, a cloud-based informatics system providing the scientific triage tools, fine-grained permissions and management tools required to implement the workflow.

Identification of a Novel Core Type in SalmonellaLipopolysaccharide (1998)

For the first time, the complete structure of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core region from Salmonella enterica has been identified that is different from the Ra core type generally thought to be present in all Salmonella LPS. The LPSs from two rough mutants and the smooth form of S. enterica sv. Arizonae IIIa O62, which all failed to react with an Ra core type-specific monoclonal antibody and were resistant to phage FO1, were analyzed after chemical modification using monosaccharide analysis, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. In the novel core type, the terminal D-GlcNAc residue present in the Ra core type, is replaced by a D-Glc residue. The O-specific polysaccharide is alpha1-->4-linked to the second distal Glc residue of the core. Furthermore, phosphoryl substituents attached to O-4 of L-glycero-D-manno-heptose (Hep) I and II were identified as 2-aminoethyl diphosphate (on Hep I) and phosphate (Hep II). [structure: see text] Abbreviations in Structure I are as follows: Hepp, L-glycero-D-manno-heptopyranose; Kdo, 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulopyranosonic acid; PPEA, 2-aminoethyl diphosphate; R, O-specific polysaccharide. The presence of this novel core type in LPS of S. enterica should be taken into account in the development of a general antibody-based diagnostic system for Salmonella.
Kinetics of hexene‐1 polymerization using [(N,N′‐diisopropylbenzene)‐2,3‐(1,8‐napthyl)‐1,4‐diazabutadiene] dibromonickel/methylaluminoxane catalyst system (2007)

Abstract Kinetics of hexene‐1 polymerization was investigated using [( N,N ′‐diisopropylbenzene)2,3‐(1,8‐napthly)‐1,4‐diazabutadiene]dibromonickel/methylaluminoxane catalyst. Experiments were performed at varying catalyst and monomer concentrations in the temperature range of −10 to 35 °C. First order time‐conversion plot shows a downward curvature at temperatures of 20 °C and 35 °C indicating the presence of finite termination reactions. A nonlinear plot of degree of polymerization ( P n ) with respect to conversion indicates occurrence of transfer reactions and slow initiation. The experimental molar masses are higher than predicted, which implies that a fraction of catalyst species could not be activated or is deactivated at the early stages of the reactions. The efficiency of the catalyst (Cat eff ) varies from 0.77 to 0.89. The observed polydispersity of the poly(hexene‐1) s is in the range of 1.18–1.48. The reaction order was found to be 1.11 with respect to catalyst. The Arrhenius plot obtained using the overall propagation rate constant, k p , at five different temperatures (−10, 0, 10, 20, and 35 °C) was found to be linear with an activation energy, E a = 4.3 kcal/mol. Based on the results presented it is concluded that the polymerization of hexene‐1 under the above‐mentioned conditions shows significant deviation from ideal “living” behavior. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pseudo-nMOS revisited: impact of SOI on low power, high speed circuit design (2002)

Bulk pseudo-nMOS (i.e. CMOS with grounded pMOS pullup device) circuits have been quite popular in the past because they are fast, small and pMOS devices are good pullup resistive loads. A pseudo-nMOS gate with a fan-in of N requires only N+1 transistors (as opposed to 2N for standard CMOS), resulting in smaller area as well as smaller parasitic capacitances, whereas each input connects to only one transistor, presenting a smaller load to the preceding gate. Since these advantages come at the expense of static power consumption, pseudo-nMOS circuits have often lost their appeal for large circuits, even though they are frequently used in some critical path elements when speed and area are at a premium (Weste and Eshraghian, 1993). If a weaker pMOS load transistor could be used without sacrificing speed, for example by reducing the load on the dotted node (either due to smaller devices in the pulldown tree, or to a smaller driven load representing a similar gate), the static power could be minimized. Since from a circuit designer's perspective, one of the major advantages of SOI technology is the reduction of junction capacitance, this paper takes a fresh look at pseudo-nMOS and finds that SOI technology makes possible important performance (speed and power) and area improvements and predicts that it can be used widely in the design of SOI custom-integrated circuits.
Accelerating sequential consistency for Java with speculative compilation (2019)

A memory consistency model (or simply a memory model) specifies the granularity and the order in which memory accesses by one thread become visible to other threads in the program. We previously proposed the volatile-by-default (VBD) memory model as a natural form of sequential consistency (SC) for Java. VBD is significantly stronger than the Java memory model (JMM) and incurs relatively modest overheads in a modified HotSpot JVM running on Intel x86 hardware. However, the x86 memory model is already quite close to SC. It is expected that the cost of VBD will be much higher on the other widely used hardware platform today, namely ARM, whose memory model is very weak.

Investigation of Gaussian4 Theory for Transition Metal Thermochemistry (2009)

An investigation of the performance of Gaussian-4 (G4) methods for the prediction of 3d transition metal thermochemistry is presented. Using the recently developed G3Large basis sets for atoms Sc-Zn, the G4 and G4(MP2) methods with scalar relativistic effects included are evaluated on a test set of 20 enthalpies of formation of transition metal-containing molecules. The G4(MP2) method is found to perform significantly better than the G4 method. The G4 method fails due to the poor convergence of the Møller-Plesset perturbation theory at fourth-order in one case. The overall error for G4(MP2) of 2.84 kcal/mol is significantly larger than its previously reported performance for molecules containing main-group elements in the G3/05 test set. However, considering the relatively large uncertainties in the experimental enthalpies, the G4(MP2) method performs reasonably well. The performance of other composite methods based on G3 theory [G3(CCSD)//B3LYP and G3(MP2,CCSD)//B3LYP], as well as several density functional methods, are also presented in this paper. The results presented here will assist future development of composite model techniques suitable for use in transition metal-containing systems.
HIF‐1α and HIF‐2α induce angiogenesis and improve muscle energy recovery (2014)

We conclude that both AdHIF-1α and AdHIF-2α gene transfers induced beneficial angiogenesis in vivo. Transient moderate increases in angiogenesis improved energy recovery after exercise in ischaemic muscles. This study shows for the first time that a moderate increase in angiogenesis is enough to improve tissue energy metabolism, which is potentially a very useful feature for cardiovascular gene therapy.
Theoretical investigation of electroluminescence and current–voltage characteristics in p-i-n resonant tunneling light emitting diode (1998)

Multiple-line electroluminescence (EL) spectrum and current bistability in the current–voltage (I–V) relationship have been reported in a p-i-n resonant tunneling light emitting diode based on an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. In this work we report our theoretical investigation of the energy band structure of this diode under different forward bias Vex. It is concluded that the occupation of excited hole subbands and the interactions between light and heavy holes are the most possible reasons to account the observed the multiple-line EL spectrum. The current bistability in I–V relationship is attributed to the charge accumulation in the central i region when carriers begin to tunnel directly through the diode at Vex=Vi, where Vi is the built-in potential in the p-i-n structure.
Mott‐Limited Thermopower of Pascal Electron Liquid Phases at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 Interface (2023)

The cover image shows the signature conductance behavior of the Pascal electron liquid phase, observed in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 electron waveguides. The thermoelectric properties of this system are defined by the existence of electronic states in which bound states of n = 2, 3, 4,… electrons contribute to transport, and provide unique insight into this remarkable state of matter.
