<title>High passive damping in a NiTi shape memory alloy fiber aluminum metal matrix composite</title> (2000)

Vibration control in structures often requires the addition of viscoelastic constrained layer damping treatments. In critical applications, however, the low strength of the viscoelastic material and the threat of delamination prevent the use of these treatments. In this paper we present a means of how to overcome these difficulties by using high strength shape NiTi fibers to increase the damping of aluminum structures. Specifically, we show that the introduction of high strength, shape memory alloy fibers into an aluminum beam can result in a significant increase in the passive damping response of the beam. The objective of our research is to develop passive and active structural materials that can be sued in applications that demand high loss factors, strength, and high reliability. The development of the NiTi fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composite beam is a first important step towards achieving this objective.

Evaluation of bending property of A6061-ADC12 functionally graded porous aluminum sandwich panel (2016)

Porous aluminum (Al) has lightweight and high energy absorption properties. Sandwich panel consisting of A6061-ADC12 functionally graded porous Al and A1050 Al plates was fabricated by friction stir processing (FSP). It is expected to be used as structural materials. In this study, bending test of sandwich panel was carried out. It was shown that deflection is larger than the uniform ADC12 porous aluminum sandwich panel.
Digital Staining of Pathological Tissue Specimens with PCA-based Feature Extraction and Linear Mapping of Spectral Transmittance (2005)

Color is an important parameter in pathological diagnosis and it is the very reason why tissue samples are stained, since the morphological structure of the tissue components can only be vividly observed when they are colored differently. Common for routine staining is the Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE) dyes, however to assess diseases related to the condition of the fibrosis, Masson-trichrome (MT) dyes are used instead. The digital transformation of an HE-stained image to its MT-stained (digital staining) equivalent has already been proposed, where the information derived from the 16-band images of the stained specimens were utilized. In this paper we addressed the possible reduction of the spectral dimension requirement to implement the proposed digital staining procedure. To find for the effective spectral dimension, from the classification point of view, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied independently to the five statistical descriptors of the tissue components transmittance spectra, i.e. mean, maximum, minimum, range and standard deviation. In our initial experiments with liver tissue specimens, it was found that ten principal components can be effective to implement the digital staining scheme.
Intelligent Resource Management and Implementation for Broadband Cable Networks (2008)

This paper describes the implementation of an intelligent resource management (IRM) scheme for use in emerging broadband cable networks. It is shown that the IRM scheme performs better than conventional scheduling schemes. Specifically, the scheme can manage and control bandwidth-intensive applications, and provide fair bandwidth allocation. The broader impacts of the IRM scheme are the ability to mitigate serious security problems (e.g., worm viruses and denial of service attacks), and the ability to deliver quadruple play services while meeting required performance metrics.

Association of autism diagnosis and polygenic scores with eating disorder severity (2022)

Among individuals with eating disorders (ED), those with co-occurring autism are often considered to have more severe presentations and poorer prognosis. However, previous findings have been contradictory and limited by small sample size and/or cross-sectional assessment of autistic traits. We examine the hypothesis that autism diagnosis and autism polygenic score (PGS) are associated with increased ED severity in a large ED cohort using a broad range of ED severity indicators. Our cohort included 3189 individuals (64 males) born 1977-2000 with current or previous anorexia nervosa who participated in the Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative-Sweden (ANGI-SE) and for whom genotypes and linkage to national registers were available. We identified 134 (4.2%) individuals with registered autism diagnoses. Individuals with confirmed autism diagnosis had significantly more severe ED across three sets of severity indicators. Some of the largest effects were found for the proportion of individuals who attempted suicide and who received tube feeding (higher in autism), and for the time spent in inpatient care (longer in autism). Results for autism PGS were not statistically significant. Adapting ED treatment to the needs of individuals with co-occurring autism is an important research direction to improve treatment outcome in this group.

The size-dependent catalytic activity for alcohol oxidation was investigated using the platinum subnanoclusters synthesized by the dendrimer template method.
Effect of internal excitations of polarons on magneto‐optical absorption and cyclotron resonance in polar crystals (1973)

Abstract The energy spectrum of Fröhlich polarons in a magnetic field is investigated theoretically. The constants of the motion of the system are studied and a “Feynman model” serves as B guide in this study. A crucial difference between the energy spectra of polarons and rigid particles is predicted at rather strong coupling strengthsor large magnetic fields. It is due to the internal structure of the polaron system. When the electron‐LO‐phonon coupling constant becomes large enough to allow internal excitations, a resonance may appear in the one‐phonon continuum. This resonance is split by Zeeman effect at small field values and the components of the multiplet tend asymptotically to the Landau levels with increasing field strengths. The stability of one component at least is enhanced by the magnetic field, so that magnetic fields could be used to reveal internal excitations of polarons, in cyclotron resonance or magneto‐optical absorption experiments. Recent experimental results on magneto‐absorption by excitons are discussed in the light of the present work.
Clinical and Genetic Correlates of Serum Aldosterone in the Community: The Framingham Heart Study (2005)

Protein Synthesis in the Early Prereplicative Phase of Isoproterenol-stimulated Synthesis of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (1969)

Abstract The stimulation of DNA synthesis which occurs in mouse salivary gland 20 to 30 hours after a single administration of isoproterenol is inhibited by drugs that inhibit protein synthesis. Both cycloheximide and puromycin are most effective in inhibiting isoproterenol-stimulated DNA synthesis when given 1 hour after the isoproterenol. At this time, the aminonucleoside of puromycin has no effect on the subsequent onset of DNA synthesis. Although cycloheximide has only a temporary effect on protein synthesis in mouse salivary gland, its effect on isoproterenol-stimulated DNA synthesis, when given 1 hour after isoproterenol, consists not in a mere delay but in a true inhibition. The free ribosome fraction of mouse salivary gland shows an increase in protein synthesis 1 hour after isoproterenol, when the stimulated gland is incubated in vitro. In addition, ribosomes isolated from salivary glands of mice killed 1 hour after the administration of isoproterenol have a higher amino acid-incorporating activity in a cell-free system than free ribosomes isolated from control salivary glands. This increased capacity for protein synthesis is accompanied by an increase in the number of free polysomes in the stimulated gland. These results indicate that isoproterenol causes an early stimulation of protein synthesis in mouse salivary gland and that this stimulation is relevant to the subsequent onset of DNA synthesis.
Photonic Network Vision 2020—Toward Smart Photonic Cloud (2014)

A vision of the photonic network in 2020 is presented, which envisages a “smart photonic cloud.” A smart photonic cloud is defined as a universal network platform without any physical or logical constraint that provides flexible connectivity for machine-to-machine communication such as networked high-performance computing or intra- and inter-data center networks. The key requirements for the network in the Big Data era include an ultralarge capacity with low power consumption, low latency, as well as flexibility on demand to the changes in the configuration and bandwidth of the optical path. To cope with the growing demand for network virtualization, novel photonic layer virtualization will be proposed, which differs from the conventional approach in terms of the number of slices and the dynamic range of the bandwidth of each slice. First, the objectives and the guiding principle of the vision will be addressed. Next, three “Ss” will be presented that represent the key enabling technologies, namely scale-free photonics, smart photonic networking, and a synthetic transport platform. A key engine with which to realize the above three enabling technologies is the photonic network processor (P-NP), which can define versatile functionality of switches and transmission systems by software. The P-NP takes advantage of the rapid progress made on digital signal processing for coherent optical transmission systems, and it consists of pools of optical frontends, digital signal processors, L1/L2 switches, which are either electrically or optically interconnected based on silicon photonic technology. Finally, a multifunctional optical cross-connect and a bit-rate-flexible optical transponder are presented as examples of P-NP applications.
Study of Gallium-Doped Zinc Oxide Thin Films Processed by Atomic Layer Deposition and RF Magnetron Sputtering for Transparent Antenna Applications (2023)

Gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) films were fabricated using RF magnetron sputtering and atomic layer deposition (ALD). The latter ones demonstrate higher electrical conductivities (up to 2700 S cm<sup>-1</sup>) and enhanced charge mobilities (18 cm<sup>2</sup> V<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>). The morphological analysis reveals differences mostly due to the very different nature of the deposition processes. The film deposited via ALD shows an increased transmittance in the visible range and a very small one in the infrared range that leads to a figure of merit of 0.009 Ω<sup>-1</sup> (10 times higher than for the films deposited via sputtering). A benchmarking is made with an RF sputtered indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) film used conventionally in the industry. Another comparison between ZnO, Al:ZnO (AZO), and Ga:ZnO (GZO) films fabricated by ALD is presented, and the evolution of physical properties with doping is evidenced. Finally, we processed GZO thin films on a glass substrate into patterned transparent patch antennas to demonstrate an application case of short-range communication by means of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol. The GZO transparent antennas' performances are compared to a reference ITO antenna on a glass substrate and a conventional copper antenna on FR4 PCB. The results highlight the possibility to use the transparent GZO antenna for reliable short-range communication and the achievability of an antenna entirely processed by ALD.

Reduction of Efficiency Droop in Semipolar (1\bar101) InGaN/GaN Light Emitting Diodes Grown on Patterned Silicon Substrates (2010)

We present a study of semi-polar (1101) InGaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on patterned (001) Si substrates by atmospheric-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition. A transmission electron microscopy image of the semi-polar template shows that the threading dislocation density was decreased significantly. From electroluminescence measurement, semi-polar LEDs exhibit little blue-shift and low efficiency droop at a high injection current because the reduction of the polarization field not only made the band diagram smoother but also restricted electron overflow to the p-GaN layer as shown in simulations. These results indicate that semi-polar InGaN-based LEDs can possess a high radiative recombination rate and low efficiency droop at a high injection current.
AB106. SOH22ABS161. An assessment of inpatient versus outpatient management of acute diverticulitis (2022)

Background: Acute diverticulitis is one of the most common surgical presentations to the emergency department. Outpatient management of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis with oral antibiotics has been shown to be safe without increasing the risk of complications in comparison to inpatient management. The aim of the study is to assess the management of acute diverticulitis at our institution. Methods: A single centre retrospective study was performed over a 7-month period (1st Feb 2020 to 31st Aug 2021). All patients with CT confirmed diverticulitis were included. Clinicopathological characteristics of included patients were recorded. Results: A total of 100 patients with CT confirmed acute diverticulitis were included (mean age 57 years) (range, 30–90 years). Sixty-three patients had CT proven uncomplicated diverticulitis and 37 complicated diverticulitis. Mean C-reactive protein (CRP) was 81 mg/L in the uncomplicated group and 156 mg/L in the complicated group (P<0.001). Mean white cell count was 12.1×109/L and 20.6×109/L in the uncomplicated and complicated groups respectively (P=0.12). The average length of stay was considerably longer in the complicated group (17.4 vs. 4.3 days) (P=0.0001). Within the uncomplicated cohort only 9.5% (6/63) of patients were discharged home on the day of presentation for outpatient management. Conclusions: The majority of patients with CT confirmed uncomplicated diverticulitis continue to be managed as inpatients despite evidence to support outpatient management. Factors that may contribute to this include limited access to CT imaging, over reliance on IV antibiotics and poor infrastructure to enable timely OPD follow up.
Comparison of 2 Interventions for Liquid Aspiration on Pneumonia Incidence (2008)

No definitive conclusions about the superiority of any of the tested interventions can be made. The 3-month cumulative incidence of pneumonia was much lower than expected in this frail elderly population. Future investigation of chin-down posture combined with nectar-thick liquid may be warranted to determine whether this combination better prevents pneumonia than either intervention independently.
Design and analysis of a large-scale multicast output buffered ATM switch (1995)

Proposes and analyzes a recursive modular architecture for implementing a large-scale multicast output buffered ATM switch (MOBAS). A multicast knockout principle, an extension of the generalized knockout principle, is applied in constructing the MOBAS in order to reduce the hardware complexity (e.g., the number of switch elements and interconnection wires) by almost one order of magnitude. In the proposed switch architecture, four major functions of designing a multicast switch: cell replication, cell routing, cell contention resolution, and cell addressing, are all performed distributively so that a large switch size is achievable. The architecture of the MOBAS has a regular and uniform structure and, thus, has the advantages of: (1) easy expansion due to the modular structure, (2) high integration density for VLSI implementation, (3) relaxed synchronization for data and clock signals, and (4) building the center switch fabric (i.e., the multicast grouping network) with a single type of chip. A two-stage structure of the multicast output buffered ATM switch (MOBAS) is described. The performance of the switch fabric in cell loss probability is analyzed, and the numerical results are shown. The authors show that a switch designed to meet the performance requirement for unicast calls will also satisfy multicast calls' performance. A 16/spl times/16 ATM crosspoint switch chip based on the proposed architecture has been implemented using CMOS 2-/spl mu/m technology and tested to operate correctly.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Evolutionary computation for the automated design of category functions for fuzzy ART (2017)

Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) is a classic unsupervised learning algorithm. Its performance on a particular clustering problem is sensitive to the suitability of the category function for said problem. However, classic Fuzzy ART employs a fixed category function and thus is unable to benefit from the potential to adjust its category function. This paper presents an exploration into employing evolutionary computation for the automated design of category functions to obtain significantly enhanced Fuzzy ART performance through tailoring to specific problem classes. We employ a genetic programming powered hyper-heuristic approach where the category functions are constructed from a set of primitives constituting those of the original Fuzzy ART category function as well as additional hand-selected primitives. Results are presented for a set of experiments on benchmark classification tasks from the UCI Machine Learning Repository demonstrating that tailoring Fuzzy ART's category function can achieve statistically significant superior performance on the testing datasets in stratified 10-fold cross-validation procedures. We conclude with discussing the results and placing them in the context of being a first step towards automating the design of entirely new forms of ART.

Haemoglobin Lepore Trait: Haematological and Structural Studies on the Italian Population (1979)

S ummary . Haematological data on 59 heterozygotes for haemoglobin (Hb) Lepore and 10 double heterozygotes for Hb Lepore and β thalassaemia from 36 Italian families are reported. The red cell indices are defined and compared with those of groups of non‐thalassaemic and β thalassaemic subjects of comparable number, age and sex distribution. The relative level of each haemoglobin fraction and the absolute production of single polypeptide chains are calculated in order to compare the expression of the non‐α chain genes in Hb Lepore trait and β thalassaemia. Structural studies demonstrate that the haemoglobin Lepore is of the Boston type (δ 87 β 116 ) in all subjects, confirming that this type of fusion variant is probably the only one which occurs in Mediterranean populations. The distribution and incidence of the Lepore haemoglobinopathy are discussed.
