A novel three-stage ATSC TxID identifier for robust data broadcasting (2009)

With the recent development of digital television (DTV) broadcasting, the total number of deployed DTV transmitters is increasing in an unprecedented way. Therefore, transmitter identification (TxID) has been considered as an important feature in the ATSC standard for distributed transmission as it enables the broadcast authorities and operators to identify the source of interference or any illegal transmitter operating in a particular region. However, identification of the TxID sequence is a challenging issue due to the complexity offered by the conventional detection algorithm which is based on exhaustive search method or matched filter detection. In this paper, we propose to use a three-stage identification scheme which offers the same performance as the optimal matched filter but with significantly reduced implementation complexity. Design of this three-stage identifier is presented and corresponding complexity in terms of the computation and hardware implementation is also analyzed. The performance of the proposed three-stage approach are investigated and verified through the simulations in different channel scenarios. It is found from the simulation results that proposed identifier can provide reliable identification of DTV transmitters in large broadcast scenarios with significantly reduced hardware and computational complexity.
Flight Dynamics of Boomerangs: Impact of Drag Force and Drag Torque (2020)

In this paper, we derive analytical expressions for drag force and drag torque using blade element theory. These expressions are then combined with expressions for pitching-moment and rolling-moment from prior work to simulate the flight trajectory of the boomerang. A meshed ultra-wideband wireless tracking system with 16 anchors on the ground along with a tag mounted on the boomerang was used to accurately track the flight trajectory of the boomerang. The simulation results are compared with flight trajectory measurements. Our study shows that including drag force and drag torque results in good agreement between simulation and measurement for the flight trajectory, translational velocity, rotational velocity and range (farthest distance travelled from the launch position).
Development of Optical Fiber Current Sensors and Their Applications (2005)

In this paper, a development of optical fiber current sensors is presented, and examples of their applications are also introduced. Optical fiber current sensors based on the Faraday effect were expected for a long time as compact and high performance current sensors in place of conventional current transformers. However, widespread practical application of them has not come true yet, because of complex means necessary for securing stable characteristics. In the development stated here, such problems were solved by using a special sensor fiber made from flint glass, and by constructing sensing systems matching with features of the fiber. The developed sensors are immune to the effects from outer environment such as vibration and temperature changes. Also they are compact and flexible, and can be attached easily around the current conductors. Examples of application of the sensors are also introduced. They are field tests of the sensors for application to protective relaying systems, cable current measurement using a portable type sensor, a fault section locating system using the sensors.
Nondestructive Photo-Cross-Linking of Microphase-Separated Diblock Polymers through Coumarin Dimerization (2022)

The effect of long-wavelength ultraviolet photo-cross-linking on microphase-separated coumarin-containing block polymers was studied by photorheometry and small-angle X-ray scattering. This model system consisted of three photo-cross-linkable diblock polymers of poly(methoxyethyl acrylate)-b-poly(hexyl methacrylate-co-coumarin methacrylate) with different volume fractions of the cross-linkable coumarin-containing block, which microphase separated into lamellar and cylindrical morphologies. All polymers stiffened upon exposure to 365 nm light, with much greater relative increases in moduli recorded for lamellae-forming polymers (ca. 3200% increase) compared to the cylinder-forming polymer (ca. 550% increase). Disordering transitions that were evident in un-cross-linked samples were no longer observed after cross-linking in the ordered state, and domain sizes were found to remain stable to heating. The photo-cross-linking reaction only proceeded under active irradiation (i.e., cross-linking does not persist when the UV radiation is turned off), indicating a high degree of spatiotemporal control over curing in this system. Finally, at constant concentration of couamarin within the cross-linkable block, the cure rate was largely independent of polymer composition, suggesting a constant local concentration of coumarin moieties within the segregated cross-linkable domains. These findings establish a set of specific structure–property relationships governing the phase-selective photo-cross-linking of diblock polymers that can guide the design of robust nanostructured materials.
Binary recombinase systems for high-resolution conditional mutagenesis (2014)

Conditional mutagenesis using Cre recombinase expressed from tissue specific promoters facilitates analyses of gene function and cell lineage tracing. Here, we describe two novel dual-promoter-driven conditional mutagenesis systems designed for greater accuracy and optimal efficiency of recombination. Co-Driver employs a recombinase cascade of Dre and Dre-respondent Cre, which processes loxP-flanked alleles only when both recombinases are expressed in a predetermined temporal sequence. This unique property makes Co-Driver ideal for sequential lineage tracing studies aimed at unraveling the relationships between cellular precursors and mature cell types. Co-InCre was designed for highly efficient intersectional conditional transgenesis. It relies on highly active trans-splicing inteins and promoters with simultaneous transcriptional activity to reconstitute Cre recombinase from two inactive precursor fragments. By generating native Cre, Co-InCre attains recombination rates that exceed all other binary SSR systems evaluated in this study. Both Co-Driver and Co-InCre significantly extend the utility of existing Cre-responsive alleles.
Toward Web services interaction styles (2005)

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are fundamentally changing the way in which we conceptualize and design business applications. A SOA-based application typically composes various distributed functions, including some possibly provided by external parties such as independent businesses. The key advantage of SOAs is the resulting dynamism, since the composed parts can be readily swapped out in favor of others of like functionality. SOA environments thus reflect the dynamism of human socioeconomic environments where businesses interact, collaborate, and expose services to each other in order to jointly create value. This paper presents a multiagent model for Web services and catalogs architectural styles that are key for SOA applications. It conceptually evaluates the styles by showing the kinds of service usages and the resulting dynamic interactions that they enable.
Drug loaded microbubble design for ultrasound triggered delivery (2009)

Ultrasound imaging is widely used in both diagnosis of diseases and pregnancy follow-up. As ultrasound imaging is a harmless, cheap and portable technique, ultrasound guided drug delivery is gaining more and more attention in the drug delivery field. To be effective, in most cases, ultrasonic drug delivery makes use of microbubbles. This highlight describes why it is attractive to load the microbubbles with drugs and discusses recent attempts made in the design of drug loaded microbubbles.
Adeno-Associated Virus–Mediated Human C-Reactive Protein Gene Delivery Causes Endothelial Dysfunction and Hypertension in Rats (2008)

AAV vector-mediated CRP expression resulted in hypertension mediated through reduced NO production and subsequent alteration in ET-1 and renin-angiotensin system activation. Impaired arterial elasticity may also contribute to CRP-induced hypertension. These results support a causal role for CRP in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
Bidirectional TaO-diode-selected, complementary atom switch (DCAS) for area-efficient, nonvolatile crossbar switch block (2013)

For the first time, a novel area-efficient, 12F2 crossbar switch block featuring a bidirectional TaO diode-selected, complementary atom switch (DCAS) with diagonal programming lines has been proposed. The compact BEOL-diode, having a high current rectification ratio of 1.7×102 with Jmax=0.6MA/cm2, enables three-terminal operation of the DCAS, realizing select-transistor-less programming and high off-state disturbance of the crossbar. The developed DCAS is a strong candidate for realizing a nonvolatile and low-power programmable logic.

Diode-pumped microchip laser oscillation of highly Nd 3+ -doped polycrystalline YAG ceramics has been realized. The loss of a 2.3 at. % Nd 3+ -doped ceramic YAG is as low as that of a 0.9 at. % NdYAG single crystal. Using a 3.4 at. % NdYAG ceramic, 2.3 times higher microchip laser power is obtained than with a 0.9 at. % Nd:YAG single crystal.
Novel approach to visualize the inter-dependencies between maternal sensitization, breast milk immune components and human milk oligosaccharides in the LIFE Child cohort (2020)

Graphical discovery analysis applied to complex matrices such as breast milk composition can aid in understanding the complexity of interactions between breast milk components and possible relations to health parameters in the mother or the infant. This approach can lead to novel discoveries in the context of health and diseases such as allergy. Our study thus represents the first attempt to visualize the complexity and the inter-dependency of breast milk components.

Influence of the Microenvironment on Melanoma Cell Fate Determination and Phenotype (2006)

Tumor cells communicate bidirectionally with the surrounding microenvironment, sending and receiving topographical and molecular cues that direct diverse cellular phenomena, including differentiation, growth, and invasion. The microenvironment has long been acknowledged as a facilitator of melanoma progression, and recent studies have illuminated tumor-associated factors, including hypoxia and the extracellular matrix, as important mediators of melanocyte transformation and transdifferentiation. Although these findings portray the microenvironment as a perilous obstacle to the successful treatment of advanced melanomas, it is important to note that certain molecular milieus may be capitalized on as potential treatment modalities. Indeed, our group and others have elucidated the unique ability of embryonic microenvironments to normalize aggressive melanoma cells toward a more benign melanocytic phenotype. The microenvironment therefore presents a novel target for the treatment and ultimately the prevention of melanoma progression and metastasis.
PEG-co-Oligo(p-benzamide)s Prepared on a Peptide Synthesizer (2007)

The first example of an automated oligo(p-benzamide) (OPBA) synthesis was demonstrated by use of a conventional peptide synthesizer employing a standard Fmoc-peptide synthesis protocol. Thus, an amino acid derivative 1 and Wang resin were subjected to the automatic peptide synthesizer to give a Wang resin supported OPBA heptamer 3g. Esterifcation of 3g with 4-pentynoyl chloride followed by cyclization with PEG-supported azide gave a Wang resin-PEG-supported OPBA heptamer 4. Acidic treatment of 4 afforded a PEG-supported OPBA heptamer 5.
Non-linear model of tactile estimation based on the vibration information mediated by mechanoreceptors’ perceptibility (2021)

Tactile sensation is an important factor for products to get added value. Therefore, tactile sensing attracts huge attention as quantitative evaluation of tactile sensation. While human tactile sensation recognition mechanism has nonlinearity, many of previous studies are confined to construct linear regression models to estimate a tactile sensation. Hence, this study proposes a non-linear tactile estimation model of molded plastic plates. We extracted features from vibration information mediated by mechanoreceptors’ perceptibility, and the relationship between the tactile evaluation score and extracted features was formulated by constructing regression model including non-linearity. The result implies what range of vibration information affects each tactile sensation.
Phage HK022 Nun protein represses translation of phage λ N (transcription termination/translation repression) (2003)

The N-terminal arginine-rich motif of phage HK022 Nun protein binds to NUT sequences in phage lambda nascent transcripts and induces transcription termination. Interactions between the Nun C terminus and RNA polymerase as well as the DNA template are required for termination. We have isolated Nun C-terminal point and deletion mutants that are unable to block transcription. The mutants bind NUT RNA and inhibit translation of the lambda N gene. Thus HK022 excludes lambda both by terminating transcription on the phage chromosome and by preventing translation of the essential lambda N gene. Like N autoregulation, translation repression by Nun requires host RNaseIII deficiency (rnc) or a mutation in the RNaseIII processing site (rIII) located between NUTL and the beginning of the N coding sequence. Our data support the idea that Nun bound at NUTL causes steric interference with ribosome attachment to the nearby N coding sequence. Two models, Nun acting alone or in complex with host proteins, are discussed.
Teoría general de los cometidos del Poder Público (1986)

Spergualin is a new antitumor antibiotic which has a very unique structure. It was shown to have chemotherapeutic effects on mice inoculated with various mouse leukemias such as L-1210 (IMC), L-1210, P388, P815, C1489, EL4 and RL male 1. Among these, spergualin was especially effective against L-1210 (IMC) tumors, where the mice were completely cured at an appropriate drug dosage. These cured mice rejected the second challenge of L-1210, but not other tumors, indicating that specific immunity had been induced by spergualin. Preliminary data suggested that killer T cells were acting as effector cells. There was some correlation between the cytocidal activity of spergualin and the concentrations of amine oxidases in the serum. These results suggest that the induction of tumor-immunity plays an important role in the antitumor activity of spergualin.
Data-parallel Micropolygon Rasterization (2010)

Abstract We implement a tile based sort-middle rasterizer in CUDA and study its performance characteristics when used as a backend for adaptive tessellation down to micropolygons. Tessellation and bucketing map very well to the data-parallel paradigm of CUDA, and the majority of time is spent with rasterization. Despite this, our fastest implementation is able to reach 30-50% of the hardware rasterization performance of an Nvidia GTX 280. Overall we are able to rasterize 4 M textured and Phong shaded microquads into a 1600x1200 framebuffer at 10-12 fps.Abstract We implement a tile based sort-middle rasterizer in CUDA and study its performance characteristics when used as a backend for adaptive tessellation down to micropolygons.

Major Genetic Risk Factors for Dupuytren's Disease Are Inherited From Neandertals (2023)

Dupuytren's disease is characterized by fingers becoming permanently bent in a flexed position. Whereas people of African ancestry are rarely afflicted by Dupuytren's disease, up to ∼30% of men over 60 years suffer from this condition in northern Europe. Here, we meta-analyze 3 biobanks comprising 7,871 cases and 645,880 controls and find 61 genome-wide significant variants associated with Dupuytren's disease. We show that 3 of the 61 loci harbor alleles of Neandertal origin, including the second and third most strongly associated ones (P = 6.4 × 10-132 and P = 9.2 × 10-69, respectively). For the most strongly associated Neandertal variant, we identify EPDR1 as the causal gene. Dupuytren's disease is an example of how admixture with Neandertals has shaped regional differences in disease prevalence.
Natural course and determinants of short-term kidney function decline in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis: a French observational study (2022)

Data regarding renal involvement in patients with hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis are scarce and the natural course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this population remains unclear. This observational study, including adult patients diagnosed with ATTRv amyloidosis at the French Reference Centre for Cardiac Amyloidosis, investigated renal function outcome and its determinants. Multivariable logistic regression models identified factors associated with CKD at baseline. Determinants of the change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 24 months of follow-up were assessed with a multivariable linear mixed-effects model. In total, 232 patients (78 women [34%], mean age: 64 years) with ATTRv amyloidosis were classified on the basis of their <i>TTR</i> variants: ATTRV122I (37%), ATTRV30M (29%), and other variants (34%). Median baseline eGFR was 78 ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>. Seventy-two patients (31%) had an eGFR below 60 ml/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup> and 27/137 patients (20%) had significant proteinuria (urine protein/creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/mmol). Renal biopsy, performed in four cases, found typical Congo red-positive and TTR-labelled amyloid deposits in all cases. Older age (OR 1.07, <i>p</i> < .001) and a prior history of hypertension (OR 2.09, <i>p</i> = .04) were associated with a higher prevalence of CKD at baseline, whereas higher left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) (OR 0.83, <i>p</i> < .001) was associated with a lower prevalence. The estimated change in eGFR was -7.12 [-9.61, -4.63] and -8.21 [-10.81, -5.60] ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> after 12 and 24 months of follow-up, respectively. eGFR decline was independently associated with older age ((67-74], coefficient= -14.35 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>, <i>p</i> < .01, >74, coefficient = -22.93 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup>, <i>p</i> < .001, versus <56), ATTRV122I (coefficient = -17.17 mL/min/1.73m<sup>2</sup>, <i>p</i> < .01, versus ATTRV30M) and LVGLS (coefficient = 1.22, <i>p</i> < .01). These data suggest that CKD is a common finding in patients with ATTRv amyloidosis, and that eGFR decline is rapid during the first year of evaluation. Older age, lower LVGLS and ATTRV122I were associated with a worse renal outcome. Further studies are now needed to evaluate effects of new targeted therapies on long term renal function.

Admittance spectroscopy on single-crystal Cu2ZnSnSe4 solar cells: Back-contact effects and metastabilities (2020)

Admittance spectroscopy has become a commonly used device-level technique to probe the defect structure of kesterite materials. While this technique holds promise, phenomena such as current barriers and metastabilities cause difficulty in the interpretation of results. In this work, devices fabricated on single-crystalline CZTSe absorber layers are used to explore these effects in a more idealized system than thin films. Differences in behavior between admittance signatures of absorbers with Cu/Zn + Sn ratios of 0.86 and 0.77 are observed and mainly attributed to the formation of a low-temperature current barrier at the CZTSe/carbon-based back-contact interface in the more Cu-depleted devices. The effect of this barrier is significantly reduced by the implementation of higher-work function Au or MoO3−x back-contact material. Furthermore, distinct metastable doping densities are observed in each device type with the implementation of 3-h external bias conditioning of white, blue, or red light as well as 1 V applied forward bias. The origin of this behavior is attributed to a VSe–VCu defect complex that is predicted to exist in related chalcogenide materials.
Neural Speech Recognizer: Acoustic-to-Word LSTM Model for Large Vocabulary Speech Recognition (2017)

We present results that show it is possible to build a competitive, greatly simplified, large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system with whole words as acoustic units.We model the output vocabulary of about 100,000 words directly using deep bi-directional LSTM RNNs with CTC loss.The model is trained on 125,000 hours of semi-supervised acoustic training data, which enables us to alleviate the data sparsity problem for word models.We show that the CTC word models work very well as an end-to-end all-neural speech recognition model without the use of traditional context-dependent sub-word phone units that require a pronunciation lexicon, and without any language model removing the need to decode.We demonstrate that the CTC word models perform better than a strong, more complex, state-of-the-art baseline with sub-word units.
