Evaluation des couplages electromagnetiques dans des sous ensembles hyperfrequences tres integres. Etude et developpement des technologies de boitier et de connectique. Comparaison entre la modelisation et l'experimentation (1999)

L'objectif de ce travail a ete de developper une technologie permettant de realiser a prix competitif l'assemblage de sous ensembles hyperfrequence tres integres. Les resultats doivent permettre en particulier de realiser a bas cout le cablage et le packaging d'un module actif emission/reception pour antenne a balayage electronique, tout en reduisant sa surface au pas du reseau d'elements rayonnants pour pouvoir l'integrer dans une peau active. La technologie developpee consiste a hybrider sur un substrat de silicium les composants mmic d'un module hyperfrequence, et a realiser les interconnexions entre composants par l'intermediaire d'une ou plusieurs couches de films polymeres laminees sur les composants, ces couches portant des lignes de propagation et des trous metallises aux droits des plots de connexions. Des trous metallises permettent egalement de remonter les signaux en surface du module, et des micro-billes d'etain/plomb autorisent un report de type micro-bga du module sur un circuit d'accueil. La modelisation des couplages electromagnetiques, et des transitions de geometrie complexe a l'interieur d'un module hyperfrequence tres integre, necessite l'emploi d'un logiciel electromagnetique 3d, dont nous nous sommes attaches, dans un premier chapitre, a valider le domaine d'utilisation. Puis, dans le deuxieme chapitre, une implantation en dao a permis de montrer que le choix d'un cablage par film polymere est compatible de la realisation d'un module plat. Dans le troisieme chapitre, nous avons defini les regles de conception, hyperfrequences et technologiques, des interconnexions tridimensionnelles realisant la connectique intra-module. Puis apres avoir optimise ces interconnexions, nous avons developpe un procede de fabrication. Les interconnexions ainsi realisees ont ete validees jusqu'a 40 ghz. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous avons etendu ce procede d'interconnexion au cablage d'un composant gaas, et nous l'avons valide experimentalement jusqu'a 20 ghz. Enfin nous avons realise des micro-billes d'etain/plomb en surface d'un demonstrateur et nous avons effectue avec succes son report sur un circuit imprime.
Augmented Sketch (2016)

Approximated algorithms are often used to estimate the frequency of items on high volume, fast data streams. The most common ones are variations of Count-Min sketch, which use sub-linear space for the count, but can produce errors in the counts of the most frequent items and can misclassify low-frequency items. In this paper, we improve the accuracy of sketch-based algorithms by increasing the frequency estimation accuracy of the most frequent items and reducing the possible misclassification of low-frequency items, while also improving the overall throughput. Our solution, called Augmented Sketch (ASketch), is based on a pre-filtering stage that dynamically identifies and aggregates the most frequent items. Items overflowing the pre-filtering stage are processed using a conventional sketch algorithm, thereby making the solution general and applicable in a wide range of contexts. The pre-filtering stage can be efficiently implemented with SIMD instructions on multi-core machines and can be further parallelized through pipeline parallelism where the filtering stage runs in one core and the sketch algorithm runs in another core.

EUV actinic imaging tool aerial image evaluation of EUVL embedded phase shift mask performance (2012)

Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUVL) embedded phase shift mask (EPSM) can further extend lithography resolution limit and provide better pattern fidelity as compared to that of EUVL binary mask for 16nm node technology and beyond generations. In our previous study, we have demonstrated in wafer printing that EUVL EPSM can provide improved process window for both the dense lines and contacts and the low shadowing effect when compared to that of the EUVL binary mask. Due to limitation of current EUVL resist performances, certain advantages of EUVL EPSM, such as line width roughness (LWR) improvement, cannot be readily seen at wafer resist level. This is because that the aerial image quality improvement in LWR is over shadowed by the current large resist intrinsic and process induced LER. We believe that when EUV resist and wafer process improves in future, mask induced pattern fidelity difference will start to play an observable role in wafer printing. In this study, we focused on comparing EUV actinic aerial image performance of a EUVL EPSM and a binary mask for both lines and contacts. Without convoluting with resist effect, the mask aerial image performance comparison of two different masks can better reflect all the effects that are due to mask differences. Our analysis of the EUV actinic aerial images of a EUVL EPSM and a binary mask showed not only the process window advantages of the EPSM as demonstrated previously, but also the improved LWR performance of EUVL EPSM when compared to that of the EUVL binary mask. The matrix used to analyze the aerial images includes aerial image contrast, LWR, process windows (focus-exposure plot), etc. Our detailed analysis is performed for various line and contact features.
Secondary Sensitivity Control of Silver‐Nanowire‐Based Resistive‐Type Strain Sensors by Geometric Modulation of the Elastomer Substrate (2017)

A secondary method for modulation of the sensitivity in silver nanowire (AgNW) resistive-type strain sensors without the need to change the material or coating process in the sensory layer is demonstrated. Instead of using a planar elastomer (polydimethylsiloxane is used in this study) substrate, diverse relief structures are introduced to induce nonuniform and complex strain within the elastic substrate and thereby different distributions of the crack density of the AgNWs upon stretching, which plays an important role in the modulation of the gauge factor (GF). Analysis of the sensory layer and mechanical studies reveal that a lower height ratio and greater number of trenches enhance the sensor sensitivity, for example, reaching a GF of 926 at 9.6% in this study. The demonstration of wrist-motion sensors using the technology illustrates the feasibility of using relief structures for various types of sensors and sensitivity ranges using an identical sensor layer.
Enhanced radiation response of a solid tumor with the artificial oxygen carrier ‘albumin‐heme’ (2008)

Tumor-cell hypoxia is one of the main factors inducing radioresistance. Enhanced tumor oxygenation has previously been achieved in an animal model using the synthetic heme-based oxygen carrier 'albumin-heme' (recombinant human serum albumin-Fe cyclohexanoil heme; rHSA-FeP). The present study was done to determine whether rHSA-FeP enhances the radiation response in an experimental tumor model. Male Donryu rats and LY80, a variant of the syngenic liver ascites tumor, were used. A total of 1 x 10(6) cells were injected into the subfascial tissue of the right thigh. The rats were divided randomly into five groups: sham (tumor implantation and sham operation); rHSA-FeP; irradiation; rHSA + irradiation; and rHSA-FeP + irradiation. Six days after, under general anesthesia, intra-arterial administration of 10 mL/kg of either 5% rHSA solution or oxygenated rHSA-FeP solution at 2.5 mL/min was done and a dose of 20 Gy was given. There were significant differences in tumor growth between the sham and irradiation groups, and between the sham and rHSA-FeP + irradiation groups. Tumor growth delay was observed and differences were significant between the sham and irradiation groups, and between the irradiation and rHSA-FeP + irradiation groups. In the present study, rHSA-FeP itself had a slight effect on tumor growth without irradiation. Enhancing the effect of rHSA-FeP on the radiation response is responsible in part for the oxygen-carrying property of rHSA-FeP. In conclusion, rHSA-FeP is a candidate radiation-enhancing drug. Arterial infusion of rHSA-FeP may serve as a local oxygenation method that enhances the radiation effect.
Alu Sequences in Undifferentiated Human Embryonic Stem Cells Display High Levels of A-to-I RNA Editing (2010)

Adenosine to Inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a site-specific modification of RNA transcripts, catalyzed by members of the ADAR (Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA) protein family. RNA editing occurs in human RNA in thousands of different sites. Some of the sites are located in protein-coding regions but the majority is found in non-coding regions, such as 3'UTRs, 5'UTRs and introns - mainly in Alu elements. While editing is found in all tissues, the highest levels of editing are found in the brain. It was shown that editing levels within protein-coding regions are increased during embryogenesis and after birth and that RNA editing is crucial for organism viability as well as for normal development. In this study we characterized the A-to-I RNA editing phenomenon during neuronal and spontaneous differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). We identified high editing levels of Alu repetitive elements in hESCs and demonstrated a global decrease in editing levels of non-coding Alu sites when hESCs are differentiating, particularly into the neural lineage. Using RNA interference, we showed that the elevated editing levels of Alu elements in undifferentiated hESCs are highly dependent on ADAR1. DNA microarray analysis showed that ADAR1 knockdown has a global effect on gene expression in hESCs and leads to a significant increase in RNA expression levels of genes involved in differentiation and development processes, including neurogenesis. Taken together, we speculate that A-to-I editing of Alu sequences plays a role in the regulation of hESC early differentiation decisions.
4.3: Novel Flexible Display using Ferroelectric Liquid‐Crystalline Polymer and Plastic Film Substrates (2001)

Abstract A novel flexible LCD has been developed by combining plastic film substrates with a FLCP mixture. Its optical response time has been improved by using a newly developed FLC polymer, particular polysiloxane typed structure. Good toughness against external shock has been achieved by arranging columns of UV‐cure resin in the FLC layer. Manufacturing process of this LCD is simple and very unique. Coating the FLCP mixture on a plastic substrate and aligning molecules by bending method are used in the process. This LCD enables to realize a lightweight and flexible document reader called electric‐paper by means of good memory effect and good mechanical durability.
Practitioner's Trial on the Efficacy of Antihypertensive Treatment in Elderly Patients with Hypertension II (PATE‐Hypertension II study) in Japan (2011)

This study demonstrated that treatment with candesartan maintained long-term control of BP in elderly hypertensive patients without serious adverse events. CV events demonstrated a J-curve relationship with SBP in patients aged 75years or older, which suggests that excessive BP reductions might be harmful for very elderly patients.
Mapping Reentry (2016)

A mong the most difficult but fulfilling challenges to meet in the invasive electrophysiology laboratory is defining a reentrant circuit and choosing an effective ablation strategy.In this installment of teaching rounds, Ip et al 1 elegantly discuss the deductive process involved when analyzing activation and entrainment data in a particularly instructive reentrant circuit involving both atria. See Article by Ip et al Centrifugal SpreadCan activation mapping define the mechanism of tachycardia? 2 In general, a centrifugal spread from an apparent point source suggests an automatic focus, whereas the absence of such a spread would favor reentry.However, there are important exceptions that occur frequently enough that such a simple construct is rarely of sufficient practical value.
Debug all your code (2009)

Programmers build large-scale systems with multiple languages to reuse legacy code and leverage languages best suited to their problems. For instance, the same program may use Java for ease-of-programming and C to interface with the operating system. These programs pose significant debugging challenges, because programmers need to understand and control code across languages, which may execute in different environments. Unfortunately, traditional multilingual debuggers require a single execution environment.
Stochastic resonance investigation of object detection in images (2007)

Object detection in images was conducted using a nonlinear means of improving signal to noise ratio termed "stochastic resonance" (SR). In a recent United States patent application, it was shown that arbitrarily large signal to noise ratio gains could be realized when a signal detection problem is cast within the context of a SR filter. Signal-to-noise ratio measures were investigated. For a binary object recognition task (friendly versus hostile), the method was implemented by perturbing the recognition algorithm and subsequently thresholding via a computer simulation. To fairly test the efficacy of the proposed algorithm, a unique database of images has been constructed by modifying two sample library objects by adjusting their brightness, contrast and relative size via commercial software to gradually compromise their saliency to identification. The key to the use of the SR method is to produce a small perturbation in the identification algorithm and then to threshold the results, thus improving the overall system's ability to discern objects. A background discussion of the SR method is presented. A standard test is proposed in which object identification algorithms could be fairly compared against each other with respect to their relative performance.

ASIC Oriented Comparative Analysis Of Biologically Inspired Neuron Models (2018)

This paper introduces the hardware and the ASIC implementations of the four most popular biologically inspired neuron models. The models are quartic, Izhikevich, Hindmarsh Rose and Fitzhugh-Nagumo. Moreover, some approximate computing techniques are applied on these models to reduce the area and power consumption. In addition, ASIC implementations of these models and their approximate versions are carried out. Also, spiking behavior error between these models and the Hodgkin Huxley model, the reference accurate model, is presented. Finally, a fair comparative analysis is discussed to help the Spiking Neural Networks designers to select the best neuron model hardware implementation from the power, area and accuracy perspectives.

RU Sustainable: Collective Impact for the Global Goals (2019)

RU Sustainable events, held across the state of New Jersey, bring together students, faculty, staff, and local community representatives, including businesses, government, and nonprofits, to engage with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The purpose of the events is to learn, share, and shape opportunities as individuals and collectively as members of the Rutgers community whereby we can foster sustainability in our lives, local communities, Rutgers, and society by connecting with the SDGs through service, education, research, the arts, or some other means. While each of us may be able to contribute to the advancement of the SDGs in our own way, together, our collective impact will be greater than the sum of our individual actions.
Intrathoracic neurons modify myocardial ischemia‐induced sudden cardiac death (2010)

To determine if cardiac sympathetic intrathoracic reflexes represent a risk factor for ischemia‐induced sudden cardiac death (SCD) and, if so, whether targeting them reduces that risk. Left ventricular (LV) interstitial fluid (ISF) norepinephrine (NE) levels were assessed by microdialysis in anesthetized canines during transient coronary artery occlusion (CAO). Responses in animals with intact neuroaxes were compared to those in which the intrathoracic component of the cardiac neuronal hierarchy was surgically disconnected from central neurons vs those with intact neuroaxis that underwent spinal cord stimulation (SCS; T1‐T3 spinal level). In intact preparations, animals exhibiting enhanced NE ISF levels with increased dispersion between ischemic and border zone were at increased risk for SCD. Following intrathoracic neuronal decentralization, CAO induced NE release was reduced ~20% and uniform across the ischemic to border zones. Following intrinsic cardiac neuronal decentralization, CAO induced NE release occurred only in ischemic tissue. SCS also reduced CAO‐induced NE release (~60% vs control). Risk for CAO‐induced SCD was 42% in control, 8% following decentralization and 10% with SCS. These data demonstrate that stabilization of intrathoracic nervous system by such means reduces the potential for ischemia‐induced SCD while maintaining regulatory function. HL71830
Dopaminergic Behavioral Responses and Classes of Binding Sites Distinguished by Discriminant Benzamide Derivatives (1986)

It is now well established that the common targets for antipsychotic drugs are constituted by dopamine (DA) receptors in CNS, among which several pharmacological classes can be distinguished. The D-1 and D-2 receptors were initially defined using more or less discriminant agonists and antagonists on two different DA responses e.g. the stimulation of adenylate cyclase namely in the striatum and the inhibition of prolactin release by mammotrophs of the anterior pituitary, respectively (Kebabian and Calne, 1979; Kebabian and Cote, 1981).KeywordsOlfactory BulbDopamine ReceptorSuperior ColliculusAnterior PituitaryGuanine NucleotideThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
Influence of Substrates on the Quality of Hermetia Meal for Fish Meal Substitution in Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (2022)

Commercially produced black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) represent a promising fish meal substitute, particularly in the context of using agricultural by-products and waste. Here, the culture of Hermetia maggots on five selected substrates (potato protein (P) as a by-product of starch production, rapeseed oil cake (R) from rape oil production, maize silage (M), soybean (S) meal and, as a control, concentrated chicken feed (C)) were evaluated, assessing the growth performance of Hermetia maggots related to the overall production and the nutritional composition of the respective meal. Subsequently, their use as ingredients in aquafeed formulations was evaluated in a feeding trial with juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus, assessing the growth performance of the fish. Substrates used for Hermetia culture significantly affected the growth and development of the maggots, revealing substantial differences in the meal quality. Still, if incorporated in isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets (33% crude protein, 21–22 MJ/kg) replacing 75% of the fishmeal protein in the formulated diets, no significant differences in growth performance of the fish were observed compared to the fishmeal control. As a conclusion, substrates clearly affect the production yield and the composition of maggots. Nevertheless, this can be compensated by feed formulation as demonstrated by the feeding trial.

Ganglioside GM1and Hydrophilic Polymers Increase Liposome Circulation Times by Inhibiting the Association of Blood Proteins (1992)

Several agents have been shown to prolong the circulation lifetime of liposomes. These agents, such as ganglioside GM1 or phosphatidylethanolamine-derivatives of monomethoxypolyethyleneglycols, provide insight into the mechanism(s) by which liposomes are cleared from the circulation. It is suggested here that the primary mechanism by which these molecules alter the biodistribution of liposomes in vivo involves an inhibition of the association of blood proteins to liposomes, resulting in a diminished rate of clearance of liposomes from the circulation.

Chemokine Expression Patterns Differ within Anatomically Distinct Regions of the Genital Tract duringChlamydia trachomatisInfection (2002)

Untreated infections with Chlamydia trachomatis commonly result in ascending infection to fallopian tubes and subsequent immune-mediated tubal pathology in females. The proposed immune-mediated injury may be associated with the increased recruitment of CD4 cells to the upper genital tract (GT) (oviducts) in comparison to the lower GT (cervix) during infection, as shown in animal models. To understand the mechanisms responsible for this biased recruitment of CD4 cells within the GT, we characterized chemokine expression patterns in the upper and lower GTs in mice during infection with the murine pneumonitis biovar of Chlamydia trachomatis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of supernatants from GT homogenates revealed that the levels of the Th1-associated chemokines CXCL9 (monokine induced by gamma interferon), CXCL10 (interferon-inducible protein 10), and CCL5 (RANTES) were significantly higher in the upper GT than in the lower GT after infection, while the CCL3 (macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha) level was not increased. In contrast, the level of chemokine CCL11 (eotaxin) was significantly elevated in the lower GT later in the course of infection. Increased levels of mRNA confirmed the selective differences in chemokine expression within the upper and lower GTs. The increased levels of Th1-inducible chemokines in the upper GT were not due to differences in the magnitude of infection or progesterone pretreatment. These data demonstrate that the upper and lower regions of the GT respond differently to Chlamydia infection.
Monocytes Contribute to Differential Immune Pressure on R5 versus X4 HIV through the Adipocytokine Visfatin/NAMPT (2012)

As an innate factor produced by monocytes, visfatin is capable of inhibiting infections by R5 but not X4 strains, reflecting a potential selective pressure against R5 viruses.
