Variant Selection in Fe-20Ni-1.8C under Bending (2018)

Variant selection is commonly observed in martensitic steels when a stress is applied to the material during transformation. Classically, the selection phenomenon is modelled considering the work of the shape strain in the applied stress field. This shape strain is generally calculated by using the Phenomenological Theory of the Martensite Crystallography (PTMC). In the present study, we studied the martensitic transformation occurring in a Fe-20wt%Ni-1.8wt%C alloy transformed while loaded in four-point bending. A significant variant selection is observed, but surprisingly its nature cannot be explained by the classical approach. A crystallography-based empirical model which accounts for the experimental results is proposed instead.
A novel common variant in DCST2 is associated with length in early life and height in adulthood (2014)

Common genetic variants have been identified for adult height, but not much is known about the genetics of skeletal growth in early life. To identify common genetic variants that influence fetal skeletal growth, we meta-analyzed 22 genome-wide association studies (Stage 1; N = 28 459). We identified seven independent top single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (P < 1 × 10(-6)) for birth length, of which three were novel and four were in or near loci known to be associated with adult height (LCORL, PTCH1, GPR126 and HMGA2). The three novel SNPs were followed-up in nine replication studies (Stage 2; N = 11 995), with rs905938 in DC-STAMP domain containing 2 (DCST2) genome-wide significantly associated with birth length in a joint analysis (Stages 1 + 2; β = 0.046, SE = 0.008, P = 2.46 × 10(-8), explained variance = 0.05%). Rs905938 was also associated with infant length (N = 28 228; P = 5.54 × 10(-4)) and adult height (N = 127 513; P = 1.45 × 10(-5)). DCST2 is a DC-STAMP-like protein family member and DC-STAMP is an osteoclast cell-fusion regulator. Polygenic scores based on 180 SNPs previously associated with human adult stature explained 0.13% of variance in birth length. The same SNPs explained 2.95% of the variance of infant length. Of the 180 known adult height loci, 11 were genome-wide significantly associated with infant length (SF3B4, LCORL, SPAG17, C6orf173, PTCH1, GDF5, ZNFX1, HHIP, ACAN, HLA locus and HMGA2). This study highlights that common variation in DCST2 influences variation in early growth and adult height.
Optical Gain in Polymer Composite Materials With P2O2:Er3+/Yb3+Codoped Nanoparticles (2017)

We present the results of detailed numerical modeling and optimization of optical amplification in polymer nanocomposite materials, comprising highly doped phosphate nanoparticles in a polymer host. A key feature of the model is that the effects of scattering at both pump and signal wavelengths were included in the calculations. As an example, we show that optical gain is feasible at 1.55 μm in a poly-methyl-methacrylate host containing 10% by volume of Er/Yb-doped phosphate nanoparticles 100 nm in diameter when pumped at 980 nm with intensity 1 mW/μm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , i.e. parameters which are representative of what may be achieved in practice in optical waveguides.

Social role discovery from spoken language using dynamic Bayesian networks (2010)

In this paper, we focus on inferring social roles in conversations using information extracted only from the speaking styles of the speakers. We model the turn-taking behavior of the speakers with dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs), which provide the capability of naturally formulating the dependencies between random variables. More specifically, we first explore the usefulness of a simple DBN, namely, a hidden Markov model (HMM), for this problem. As it turns out, the knowledge of the segments that belong to the same speaker can be augmented into this HMM structure, which results in a more sophisticated DBN. This information places a constraint on two subsequent speaker roles such that the current speaker role depends not only on the previous speaker’s role but also on that most recent role assigned to the same speaker. We conducted an experimental study to compare these two modeling approaches using broadcast shows. In our experiments, the approach with the constraint on same speaker segments assigned 89.5% turns the correct role whereas the HMM-based approach assigned 79.2% of turns their correct role.
Modular broadband planar arrays based on generalized Peano-Gosper curves (2008)

Antenna arrays based on the space-filling Peano-Gosper (PG) curve possess several beneficial properties, including low sidelobes, a 2:1 bandwidth with suppressed grating lobes, and a convenient modular architecture. Due to their triangular lattice element distribution, these arrays are limited in bandwidth up to a minimum element spacing of approximately one-wavelength. One way to extend the bandwidth of these arrays is by introducing perturbations into the basic array geometry to break up the regular triangular distribution of elements. With the proper perturbation scheme, the overall geometry of the arrays can be greatly varied using a relatively small number of design parameters while retaining the modularity of the initial array. Recently, generalized forms of the Peano-Gosper curve have been discovered. These curves possess varying degrees of modularity that are not inherent to the conventional PG curve. Similar to conventional PG arrays, arrays based on generalized PG curves have a limited bandwidth due to their triangular lattice element distribution. In this paper, we will extend the application of the basic perturbation technique to generalized PG arrays with the goal of appreciably extending their bandwidth. The maximum bandwidth enhancement that is obtained via the perturbed generalized PG curves is significantly greater than that of the perturbed conventional PG curves. The design of these arrays will be carried out by a hybrid GA/Nelder-Mead optimizer. A design example with a 6.9:1 bandwidth will be shown to demonstrate the efficacy of this technique.

3D printed soft skin for safe human-robot interaction (2015)

The purpose of this research is the development of a soft skin module with a built-in airtight cavity in which air pressure can be sensed. A pressure feedback controller is implemented on a robotic system using this module for contact sensing and gentle grasping. The soft skin module is designed to meet size and safety criteria appropriate for a toy-sized interactive robot. All module prototypes are produced using a muti-material 3D printer. Experimental results from collision tests show that this module significantly reduces the impact forces due to collision. Also, using the measured pressure information from the module, the robotic system to which these modules are attached is capable of very gentle physical interaction with soft objects.
Robotic Metal Aggregations (2014)

The recent convergence of computational design and digital fabrication has made new forms of architectural materialization possible. A workshop conducted at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology investigated how differentiated lightweight metal structures may be designed and fabricated under these new conditions. The workshop aim was to complete three such structures; each one is aggregated from aluminum profiles that are robotically assembled according to computationally driven geometric logics. The key challenge was to enable participants, assumed to lack programming and robotic fabrication experience, to design and construct their structures within imposed time constraints. This paper describes the subsequent development of accessible computational design tools and a robust robotic fabrication method for the workshop, and highlights the key decisions taken with their implementation. The workshop results are discussed and the design tools evaluated with respect to them. The paper concludes by recommending an approach to developing computational design tools which emphasizes the importance of usability and integration with the fabrication process.
Extraction of Propagating Waves in Cine Images from Magnetic Resonance Elastography (2000)

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is currently being developed to quantitatively image the elastic properties of tissue. A medical imaging technique capable of quantitatively mapping tissue elasticity is of interest because disease can affect tissue elasticity. The goal of this work is to develop image processing techniques that will accurately relate shear wave velocity to tissue elasticity. When processing the images of shear wave displacements, it is difficult to separate the modes of tissue motion; propagating waves, reflections, vibrations and background motion. We hypothesize that accurate velocity measurements can be obtained by separating the propagating waves from the other modes. The desired modes are filtered by taking the 3D (two spatial dimension and one temporal dimension) fast Fourier transform (FFT) of the displacement images and extracting the spatial and temporal frequencies which constitute a mode. The measured velocities from a single mode will reflect the elastic properties of the tissue and provide a better understanding of the tissue's response to varying conditions
IBM POWER7 multicore server processor (2011)

The IBM POWER® processor is the dominant reduced instruction set computing microprocessor in the world today, with a rich history of implementation and innovation over the last 20 years. In this paper, we describe the key features of the POWER7® processor chip. On the chip is an eight-core processor, with each core capable of four-way simultaneous multithreaded operation. Fabricated in IBM's 45-nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology with 11 levels of metal, the chip contains more than one billion transistors. The processor core and caches are significantly enhanced to boost the performance of both single-threaded response-time-oriented, as well as multithreaded, throughput-oriented applications. The memory subsystem contains three levels of on-chip cache, with SOI embedded dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices used as the last level of cache. A new memory interface using buffered double-data-rate-three DRAM and improvements in reliability, availability, and serviceability are discussed.
Point-of-care monitoring of vitamin K-antagonists: validation of CoaguChek XS test strips with International Standard thromboplastin (2012)

Accuracy of CoaguChek XS INR determinations can be assessed by a group of collaborating centres using a limited number of capillary blood samples. As the mean INR differences with the International Standard were smaller than 10%, the lots were approved for use by the Netherlands Thrombosis Services.
Structural Studies on Residual Fuel Oil Asphaltenes by RICO Method (2004)

Abstract Structural characterization of asphaltenes isolated from Saudi Arabian heavy and medium crude oils was undertaken by using ruthenium ion catalyzed oxidation (RICO) method. The RICO method was capable to convert aromatic carbons selectively into carbon dioxide and carboxylic acids and esters group while leaving aliphatic and naphthenic structures of asphaltenes essentially unaffected. Detailed analyses of RICO products of both Arab heavy and Arab medium asphaltenes were conducted using FT-IR, 13C-NMR, IC, GPC, and GC-MS techniques. These analyses indicate that the aqueous phase fraction (water-soluble products) obtained from RICO reaction of asphaltenes consists of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and aromatic poly carboxylic acids with longer alkyl chains. The 13C-NMR and GC-MS analyses of organic phase products of asphaltenes indicate that this fraction contains large amount of aliphatic carboxylic acids with longer alkyl groups. The oxidation products of both Arab heavy and Arab medium asphaltenes were found to be dominated by a homologous series of straight chain monocarboxylic acids suggesting that the normal alkyl chains are major and important constituents of the chemical structure of both asphaltenes.

Transmission of a 2009 Pandemic Influenza Virus Shows a Sensitivity to Temperature and Humidity Similar to That of an H3N2 Seasonal Strain (2010)

In temperate regions of the world, influenza epidemics follow a highly regular seasonal pattern, in which activity peaks in midwinter. Consistently with this epidemiology, we have shown previously that the aerosol transmission of a seasonal H3N2 influenza virus is most efficient under cold, dry conditions. With the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, an exception to the standard seasonality of influenza developed: during 2009 in the Northern Hemisphere, an unusually high level of influenza virus activity over the spring and summer months was followed by a widespread epidemic which peaked in late October, approximately 2.5 months earlier than usual. Herein we show that aerosol transmission of a 2009 pandemic strain shows a dependence on relative humidity and temperature very similar to that of a seasonal H3N2 influenza virus. Our data indicate that the observed differences in the timings of outbreaks with regard to the seasons are most likely not due to intrinsic differences in transmission between the pandemic H1N1 and seasonal H3N2 influenza viruses.

A phantom and simulation study on body-shields to cope with radioactivity outside the field of view in 3D PET (2005)

Basic physics characteristics of body-shields to screen out radioactivity outside the field of view were analyzed by phantom experiments and Monte-Carlo simulation. The shielding effect depended primarily on the geometrical condition as in the case of end-shields. However, body-shields became more effective by increasing the shield thickness more than 10 mm as not in the case of end-shields. This characteristic difference was related with the fractions of un-scattered and shield-scattered components. A body-shield could be as effective as an end-shield if a good geometrical condition was kept with sufficient shield thickness.
Effect of testosterone on the growth properties and on epidermal growth factor receptor expression in the teratoma-derived tumorigenic cell line 1246-3A. (1992)

1246-3A is an insulin-independent tumorigenic cell line isolated from the C3H mouse teratoma-derived adipogenic cell line 1246. In the present paper, we have demonstrated that testosterone inhibits the in vivo tumorigenic properties of the 1246-3A cells. Castrated male mice receiving injections of 1246-3A cells developed larger tumors at a higher frequency than sham-operated animals. Administration of testosterone to castrated male mice resulted in a dramatic decrease in tumor development. In vitro studies indicated that testosterone inhibited by 50% the proliferation of the 1246-3A cells in culture. However, growth inhibition was observed only if the cells had been cultivated in the presence of testosterone for at least 4 days. In contrast, testosterone had little effect on the proliferation of the parent cell line 1246. Binding of several polypeptide growth factors was examined in cells cultivated in the absence and in the presence of testosterone. Testosterone increased 125I-EGF specific binding to 1246-3A cells. Scatchard analysis of EGF binding indicated that testosterone treatment induced a 2.4-fold increase in the number of cell surface EGF binding sites. This was accompanied by an increase in the intensity of cross-linked EGF receptors on the cells treated with testosterone. In addition, 1246-3A cells cultivated for 9 days in the presence of testosterone displayed a 10-fold increase in the level of EGF receptor mRNA when compared to 1246-3A cells maintained in its absence. Similar to its action on cell proliferation, the increase in EGF receptor number and mRNA expression was observed mainly if 1246-3A cells had been exposed to testosterone for 9 days. The data presented in this paper demonstrate that both in vivo and in vitro, testosterone induces in the teratoma-derived 1246-3A cell line phenotypic changes such as growth inhibition and modulation of EGF receptor expression.
On the adaptation of Viterbi algorithm for diagnosis of multiple bridging faults (2000)

This paper proposes a very efficient method to diagnosis multiple bridging faults. This method is based on differential or Delta I/sub DDQ/ probabilistic signatures, as well as on the Viterbi algorithm, mainly used in telecommunications systems for error correction. The proposed method can be seen as a significant improvement over an existing one based on maximum likelihood estimation. The use of the (adapted) Viterbi algorithm allows us to take into account additional information not considered previously. The existing and the proposed method are first described. Then, simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the concept in the context of double faults. Bounds on false diagnosis probability are also provided, estimating the number of test/diagnosis vectors required to reach a given diagnosis reliability for a given number of gates. The bounds allow us to show that this probability exponentially decreases with the number of test vectors and that for, a given value of this probability, the number of vectors required is O(log2(G)), where G is the number of gates.

Recurrent Perimitral Tachycardia Using Epicardial Coronary Sinus Connection to Bypass Endocardial Conduction Block at the Mitral Isthmus (2011)

M itral isthmus (MI) ablation is one of the important steps in the context of persistent atrial fibrillation ablation. However, achieving a complete transisthmus conduction block is challenging. Furthermore, incomplete conduction block can increase the risk of recurrent perimitral atrial tachycardia (AT). We describe a case wherein endocardial conduction block across the MI line was established, but a residual left atrial-to-coronary sinus (LA-CS) connection served as an epicardial bypass to maintain recurrent perimitral AT.
A Student's Search for Meaning: The Creation of an Existential Therapy Models Course for Clinical Psychology Graduate Students (2017)

This writer explores the process of creating a models course which introduces the foundations of existential therapy to graduate students in clinical psychology programs. The first section of this paper presents the rationale for developing such a course, especially in the context of the contemporary call in the field of clinical psychology for evidence-based treatment. This author discusses how this course is pertinent specifically for the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver as well as necessary at large for any clinical psychology program to claim and maintain competency in psychological theory. The second section of this paper delves into the present state of research on best practice for teaching at the graduate level in clinical psychology. The current literature on pedagogy informs the philosophical and practical underpinnings of the proposed curriculum for the outlined existential therapy models course. The third section delineates the projected plan for the course, including the philosophical core of the course, goals and objectives, syllabus, required readings, additional readings, and films. Finally, in the fourth section, this writer explores the limitations of the proposed course and future directions for the teaching and incorporation of existential therapy in clinical psychology. This author presents a comprehensive foundation for faculty members and clinical directors in the field of psychology who are interested in developing a similar existential therapy models course for their programs.
Additional studies of morphological changes in latex films (1972)

Abstract It was shown earlier that a further gradual coalescence and concurrent exudation of incompatible emulsifiers occurs upon aging in the surface of dry, transparent, and continuous films of styrene-butadiene copolymers. These processes are now shown to occur at about the same rate in the film-substrate interface and the interior of the film. The rate at which the emulsifier exudations appear is correlated with the rate of the coalescence. The further gradual coalescence is accelerated in oxygen and slowed in nitrogen; probably it involves oxidative softening of the styrene-butadiene copolymer. Other latex types which show further gradual coalescence are ethylacrylate-methylmethacrylate and vinylidene chloride-vinyl chloride-ethyl acrylate copolymers, as well as natural rubber. Polyvinyl acetate latexes do not undergo further gradual coalescence, probably because of a polyvinyl alcohol layer formed by surface hydrolysis of the particles.
