USFD: a unified storage framework for SOAR HPC scientific workflows (2011)

Emerging scientific workflows in high performance computing (HPC) focus more on analysis rather than on simulation. Simulation output is so dense with information that copious amounts of analysis must be performed on a single output to understand the results of that simulation. We identify this repetitive analysis as a new application type, simulate once analyse repeatedly (SOAR) computing. Current scientific HPC, when extended to SOAR computing, results in excessive data migration between compute and storage resources. For a workflow bound by file I/O, a large data migration overhead is unacceptable. We propose a framework that uses a data-intensive storage cluster coupled with an interoperability layer, called unified storage framework designed (USFD). USFD is a better support SOAR HPC scientific workloads through enhanced file I/O support and co-located storage and analysis. In this work, we analyse the performance of USFD and other traditional HPC approaches for SOAR scientific workloads. Our results show that SOAR workflows using USFD complete 7.5 times faster over other approaches with quantum chromodynamic workflows and 4 times faster with FLASH workflows.
Low resistance wiring and 2Xnm void free fill with CVD Ruthenium liner and DirectSeed<sup>TM</sup> copper (2010)

Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) Ruthenium liners and DirectSeed <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">TM</sup> (DS) copper were used with advanced Electrofill processes to provide lower resistance wiring compared to results using CVD Ru and conventional physical vapor deposited (PVD) Cu seed for back end of line (BEOL) structures. Different annealing temperatures and simulated BEOL thermal stress builds were used to show the difference in resistance. The grain size was also compared to show that the Ru/DS process had larger grains than the Ru/flash-Cu (F-Cu) seed. To further show the advantage of the Ru/DS seed process as a solution for future generations, 2X nm trenches were shown to have complete gap fill and thereby eliminating the need for conventional PVD Cu seed.

Suppressed severity of collagen-induced arthritis by in vivo transfection of nuclear factor ?B decoy oligodeoxynucleotides as a gene therapy (1999)

The present results demonstrate that administration of NF-kappaB decoy ODN in arthritic joints of rats with CIA led to an amelioration of arthritis. These findings suggest that intraarticular transfection of NF-kappaB decoy ODN may provide a useful therapeutic approach for the treatment of inflammatory arthritis.
Applying Constraint Solving to the Management of Distributed Applications (2010)

We present our approach for deploying and managing distributed component-based applications. A Desired State Description (DSD), written in a high-level declarative language, specifies requirements for a distributed application. Our infrastructure accepts a DSD as input, and from it automatically configures and deploys the distributed application. Subsequent violations of the original requirements are detected and, where possible, automatically rectified by reconfiguration and redeployment of the necessary application components. A constraint solving tool is used to plan deployments that meet the application requirements.
Multi-omic approach identifies a transcriptional network coupling innate immune response to proliferation in the blood of COVID-19 cancer patients (2021)

Clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients are worsened by the presence of co-morbidities, especially cancer leading to elevated mortality rates. SARS-CoV-2 infection is known to alter immune system homeostasis. Whether cancer patients developing COVID-19 present alterations of immune functions which might contribute to worse outcomes have so far been poorly investigated. We conducted a multi-omic analysis of immunological parameters in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of COVID-19 patients with and without cancer. Healthy donors and SARS-CoV-2-negative cancer patients were also included as controls. At the infection peak, cytokine multiplex analysis of blood samples, cytometry by time of flight (CyTOF) cell population analyses, and Nanostring gene expression using Pancancer array on PBMCs were performed. We found that eight pro-inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8, IL-13, IL-1ra, MIP-1a, IP-10) out of 27 analyzed serum cytokines were modulated in COVID-19 patients irrespective of cancer status. Diverse subpopulations of T lymphocytes such as CD8<sup>+</sup>T, CD4<sup>+</sup>T central memory, Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT), natural killer (NK), and γδ T cells were reduced, while B plasmablasts were expanded in COVID-19 cancer patients. Our findings illustrate a repertoire of aberrant alterations of gene expression in circulating immune cells of COVID-19 cancer patients. A 19-gene expression signature of PBMCs is able to discriminate COVID-19 patients with and without solid cancers. Gene set enrichment analysis highlights an increased gene expression linked to Interferon α, γ, α/β response and signaling which paired with aberrant cell cycle regulation in cancer patients. Ten out of the 19 genes, validated in a real-world consecutive cohort, were specific of COVID-19 cancer patients independently from different cancer types and stages of the diseases, and useful to stratify patients in a COVID-19 disease severity-manner. We also unveil a transcriptional network involving gene regulators of both inflammation response and proliferation in PBMCs of COVID-19 cancer patients.
A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR PANCREAS TRANSPLANTATION WITH PORTAL-ENTERIC DRAINAGE (2004)

O309* Aims: The modern surgical era of pancreas transplantation (PTx) was initiated by the technique of systemic- bladder drainage. Although subsequent experience has demonstrated that bladder drainage can be safely replaced by enteric drainage and that venous effluent can be created into the portal stream, intraperitoneal graft placement has remained a cornerstone of PTx technique. However, when intraperitoneal pancreas placement was coupled with portal-enteric drainage (PED) difficulties were reported in both arterial reconstruction and graft accessibility for percutaneous biopsy. We herein describe a new technique that circumvents these difficulties. Methods: Between April 20th 2001 and December 31th 2003 a total of 97 recipients were scheduled for PTx with PED. Pancreas were procured from heart-beating cadaveric donors en-bloc with liver and kidneys. Grafts from the multi-organ specimen were separated on a back table. No venous extension graft was used, while a donor iliac artery bifurcation Y graft was employed routinely. The recipient procedure was started through a midline intraperitoneal approach. The right colon was fully mobilized and the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) was approached from the right postero-lateral aspect. Dissection was carried out exclusively along the anterior surface of the head of the pancreas and the third duodenal portion until the SMV was encountered and dissected off. The common iliac artery (CIA) was approached next and was encircled as close to its origin as possible. The venous anastomosis was created end-to-side between donor’s portal vein and recipent’s SMV. The arterial anastomosis was then created end-to-side between donor’s Y iliac graft (trimmed as short as possible in order to avoid kinking of Y limbs after reperfusion) and recipient’s CIA. Enteric drainage was obtained through a Roux-en-Y jejunal limb brought to the right flank region through a window made in the avascular portion of the right colon mesentery. The pancreas graft was eventually placed in the right retroperitoneal space, being covered by the ascending colon and its mesentery. Results: All PTx but one (99.0%) were performed as planned, irrespectively of recipients’ body max index or size of superior mesenteric vein. The Y iliac artery graft was kept as short as possible and arterial anastomosis was always performed with ease. In a recipient of a pancreas after kidney graft, systemic drainage was preferred to portal effluent due to intraoperative diagnosis of liver cirrhosis. Relaparotomy rate was 12.5%. No patient died after repeat surgery, no multiple relaparotomies were needed, and no graft was lost due to surgical complications. One graft was lost due to arterial thrombosis 6 months after transplantation and none to venous thrombosis. One-year patient and graft survival were 97.9% and 94.7%, respectively. Conclusions: Our data confirm that PTx with PED is not associated to increased risk. The technique described herein has distinctive technical advantages and should be included in the repertoire of PTx.
(Invited) Beyond Lithium Ion Batteries (2016)

In other to enable 40 miles PHEVs and long electric drive range EVs, there is a need of developing advanced battery systems that offer at least 250 to 300 wh/kg energy density. The challenge is to develop batteries that are able to perform the requirements imposed by a PHEV system and yet meet market expectations in terms of cost and life. In this case, the PHEV battery will experience both deep discharge, like an electric vehicle, and shallow cycling necessary to maintain the battery for power assist in charge sustaining HEV mode. Conventional lithium-ion batteries based on metal oxides and graphite have made significant progress in recent years for HEV applications, however, durability with the PHEV duty cycle and the ultimate cost and safety of the technology remain key challenges. To achieve a very high all electric drive range, a new battery system is needed. In this talk, we will disclose new systems based on beyond lithium ion chemistry. Li/S batteries have attracted lots of attention because of their low cost and high energy-density. However, the dissolution of lithium polysulfides in non-aqueous electrolytes causes the accelerated capacity fade and low round turn energy efficiency of Li/S batteries during normal charge/discharge cycling. Alternatively, Li/Se has been newly explored to take advantage of extremely low solubility of Li 2 Se in non-aqueous electrolyte. In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy at K edge of Se (~12.66 KeV) during the normal charge/discharge cycling of a Li/Se cell clearly shows that Se can be reversibly reduced to Li 2 Se upon lithium insertion reaction, and can be fully recovered upon the subsequently lithium removal reaction. More progress on Li/Se and Li/SeS x chemistry will be discussed in this talk. We will also disclose new lithium air based on Lithium superoxide and new close system based on lithium oxide/lithium superoxide that offers significantly high energy density.
Miniature radiation pattern reconfigurable antenna for 2.4 GHz band (2010)

Reconfigurable antennas offer the possibility of changing characteristics over time to maintain a high quality wireless communications link as the propagation environment changes. Radiation pattern reconfigurable antennas are of particular interest because manipulation of the radiation pattern enables avoidance of noise source, improved security by directing signals only toward intended users, avoidance of signal fades, improved beam steering capability of phased array systems, and increased diversity gain [1]. Various designs have been proposed [2] to achieve radiation pattern and frequency reconfiguration. A key design issue for pattern reconfigurable antennas is that antenna dimensions must be electrically small for many wireless applications. Many types of reconfigurable antennas have been demonstrated, but significant pattern change can require electrically large antenna structures. The goal of this work is to achieve pattern reconfigurability with a compact, electrically small, low cost planar antenna design. We report on a reconfigurable antenna design that achieves these performance criteria for the ISM band. The antenna was simultaneously optimized for small size, low return loss, and high pattern reconfigurability.
BitFREE: On Significant Speedup and Security Applications of FPGA Bitstream Format Reverse Engineering (2023)

FPGAs have been widely deployed in critical applications ranging from consumer electronics to spacecraft while the mainstream vendors refuse to disclose the details of their configuration bitstream format for security considerations but obstruct benign applications at the same time. Despite several bitstream reverse engineering solutions being proposed to reconstruct the bitstream formats, the state-of-the-art techniques typically require at least days to partially retrieve the architecture-specific bitstream format for a single (small) FPGA model. In this paper, we propose our BitFREE methodology which targets the most market-dominating Xilinx devices to reverse engineer the majority of bitstream formats of all models in different FPGA families at the time in the order of minutes by utilizing the correlation between FPGA architecture and the configuration memory map to decompose the configuration frames into more fine-grained segments for intelligent parallel analysis instead of directly analyzing entire bitstreams serially like other works. We demonstrate the high accuracy of BitFREE by recovering the information precisely from bitstreams of covered FPGA models. Also, we introduce two security applications of BitFREE, i.e., routing-level bitstream tampering and malicious ring oscillator circuitry detection, to shed light on the broad usage of bitstream reverse engineering in the hardware security domain.
Biological efficacy of agrochemical mikrometsen on sugar beet (2020)

The test chemical Mikrometsen – bis (hydroxymethyl) phosphinic acid (mixture of salts) having high growth regulating and antistress property, in case of twice repeated spraying, reinforced growth of beet tops (number of leaves – 20,7-28,0, control – 17,9 pcs/plant; leaves area – 34,72-38,59 dm 2 /plant; biomass of leaves – 188,39-248,32, control -161,74 g/plant) and formation of root crops (length – 29,4-32,3, control – 27,8 cm, diameter – 7,4-8,0, control – 6.9 cm, mass – 438.93-461.24, control – 417.26g). It was also established that with an increase in the consumption rate of the chemical, the absolute values of growth and mass indicators of tops and root crops enhanced. The most powerful leaf rosette and large root crops were formed in the option of treatment of sugar beet plants with the chemical Micrometsen twice (1-st in phase of 4-6 leaves, 2-nd in 20 days after the first) where the consumption rate was 10mg/ha (consumption of working solution – 200 l/ha). In this option, the maximum increase in the yield of root crops was obtained – 12.1%, yield under control – 365.9 centner/ha, sugar yield per hectar – 70.13 centner (control – 58.18 centner).
Transmission rate performance of symmetric two-way full-duplex links at large antenna-array limit (2015)

This paper concerns the performance of two-way point-to-point multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) links. In particular, the system of interest comprises a pair of multiantenna full-duplex terminals that communicate with each other through a MIMO radio channel under residual self-interference from imperfect mitigation using joint decoding for reception. The new theoretical result underlying this study is to express asymptotic achievable rates in the system whose dimensions grow without bound when detection and decoding is mismatched due to the residual self-interference and spatial data streams are separately encoded using some practical digital modulation scheme, in contrast to ideal matched decoding and Gaussian signals considered in related works. Consequently, the achievable transmission rates are illustrated based on the analytical expressions by numerical results and characterized thoroughly in symmetric scenarios where the two communicating terminals are identical. Furthermore, reference simulations show that the theoretical large-array results can be used as reasonable approximations even if the number of antennas is rather small.

Cryptographic primitives for building secure and privacy respecting protocols (2011)

Using the Internet and other electronic media for our daily tasks has become common. Thereby a lot of sensitive information is exchanged, processed, and stored at many different laces. Once released, controlling the dispersal of this information is virtually impossible. Worse, the press reports daily on incidents where sensitive information has been lost, stolen, or misused - often involving large and reputable organizations. Privacy-enhancing technologies can help to minimize the amount of information that needs to be revealed in transactions, on the one hand, and to limit the dispersal, on the other hand. Many of these technologies build on common cryptographic primitives that allow for data to be authenticated and encrypted in such a way that it is possible to efficiently prove possession and/or properties of data revealing the data or side-information about it. Proving such statements is of course possible for any signature and encryption scheme. However, if the result is to be practical, special cryptographic primitives and proof protocols are needed.
Fabrication of planar optical waveguides by electrical microcontact printing (2004)

This letter describes the fabrication by electrical microcontact printing (E-μCP) of planar, optical waveguides, and splitters made of poly(4-vinylphenol) doped with phloxine B. This soft-lithographic technique uses a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp coated with a thin gold film to pattern the flow of current through the film of doped polymer. The current bleaches the phloxine B, and thus creates regions of high (unbleached; waveguide core) and low (bleached; waveguide cladding) refractive index. The maximum exposure time to obtain Δn=0.025 was 90 s. This system is useful for guiding light having λ=600–1310 nm. These polymer waveguides preserve polarization, and are able to guide light around 90° corners with a minimum radius of curvature of 1.6 mm. E-μCP patterned a 1×4 optical power splitter in 10 s. This technique is potentially useful for rapid prototyping of planar and multilevel optical devices.
