Oxide Material based Thin Film Transistors for Display and Transient Electronics (2018)

Oxide semiconductor has been spotlighted as a channel material of TFTs in AMLCD as an alternative to Si, due to high mobility ( > 5cm 2 /Vs). It is also one of the strong candidates for TFTs in AMOLED because of high bias stability at amorphous phase. Beyond the advantages mentioned above, oxide semiconductor has many strengths such as transparency, low fabrication temperature and relatively low fabrication cost. For those reasons, the application of oxide semiconductor is not limited to display but can be extended to new types of electronics, for example, transient electronics for human implantable devices. From this context, oxide materials that have been used as semiconductor and insulator at transient electronics are investigated respectively, and conductor and substrate candidates are also explained, since transient electronics require systematic consideration beyond individual oxide films.
The Importance of Water Quality and Haemodialysis Fluid Composition (2005)

Treatment of renal failure by haemodialysis uses dialysis fluid to facilitate the normalization of electrolyte and acid base abnormalities and the removal of low molecular weight uraemic compounds present in the plasma such as urea. The dialysis fluid is a continuously produced blend of treated tap water and a concentrated solution containing electrolytes, buffer, and glucose. The water used originates as drinking water but undergoes additional treatment. Recent surveys have indicated that the chemical and microbiological content of such water frequently fails to meet the requirements of established standards, and its bacterial content arising from the presence of a biofilm in the water distribution network or the hydraulic circuit of the dialysis machine is a contributory factor to the chronic inflammatory state in patients undergoing regular dialysis. The composition of the dialysis fluid plays an important role in the modulation of complications associated with end-stage renal disease, as well as those associated with the treatment itself. The avoidance of complications arising from water contaminants requires a constant and vigorous attention to water quality, whilst with the composition of electrolytes and buffer there is a trend towards greater individualization to provide a high degree of treatment tolerance.

Modeling and Pareto Optimization of Microfabricated Inductors for Power Supply on Chip (2012)

Microfabricated inductors experience increasing interest and research activity because of their high potential in buck converters for power supply in package and power supply on chip applications. This paper details the modeling and optimization of microfabricated racetrack inductors. The analytical expressions derived characterize inductance, efficiency, and power density based on geometrical parameters, inductor current, and switching frequency. An accurate analysis of the inductor current that includes the impact of losses is performed to determine the switching frequency, the ac copper losses, and the core losses. The presented model is compared to finite element method simulations and reported results of three microfabricated inductors. Finally, the optimum tradeoff between efficiency and power density is identified using the Pareto front, which results from the evaluation of a large number of microfabricated inductors in the design space defined by the application.
NPY Regulates Catecholamine Secretion from Human Adrenal Chromaffin Cells (2001)

The aim of the present work was to find out whether NPY synthesized in human adrenal chromaffin cells controls in an autocrine/paracrine fashion the release of catecholamines by these cells. Accordingly, the constitutive and regulated release of both NPY and catecholamines was measured simultaneously in cultured human chromaffin cells. In addition, by using both RT-PCR and a combination of specific agonists and antagonists, we characterized the expression of NPY receptors on these cells as well as their pharmacology. Our results were as follows. 1) Human chromaffin cells constitutively secrete NPY. 2) Nicotine elicits a rapid increase in the release of both catecholamines and NPY; this release of NPY is more sustained than that of catecholamines. 3) RT-PCR shows expression of Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y5 receptor mRNA by chromaffin cells; these receptors are functional, as various receptor specific agonists elicit an increase in intracellular calcium. 4) Peptide YY, in contrast to NPY, is not able to stimulate the release of catecholamines. This finding was corroborated by the observation that no receptor-specific antagonists were able to reduce constitutive catecholamine release, whereas an NPY-immunoneutralizing antibody markedly attenuated the secretion. Taken together, these data suggest that NPY originating from the adrenal medulla locally enhances the secretion of catecholamines, presumably by acting via the putative y3 receptor.
On the NP-completeness of the Minimal Controllability Problem (2014)

This paper studies the minimal controllability problem(MCP), i.e., the problem of, given a linear time invariant system, finding the sparsest input vector tha t ensures system’s controllability. We show that the MCP is NP-complete, when the eigenvalues of the system dynamics matrix are simple. This is achieved by reducing the MCP to a set covering problem. In addition, the approximated solutions to the set covering problem lead to feasible (but sub-optimal) solutions to the MCP. Further, we analyze the relation of the MCP with its structural counterpart, the minimal structural controllability problem (MSCP) which is known to admit a polynomial complexity solution procedure. In fact, we conclude that the MCP is almost polynomial (P) in the sense the MCP for which we cannot show that is P (but NPcomplete) has zero Lesbegue measure. Finally, we provide an illustrative example where the solution to the MCP is found using the main results and reductions developed in this paper and posteriorly compared with the solution of the MSCP.

MIRAS-SMOS antenna relative phase calibration (2008)

SMOS is the acronym of dasiaSoil Moisture and Ocean Salinitypsila and it refers to a European Space Agency (ESA) mission aimed at providing global maps of soil moisture over land and sea surface salinity over oceans. The mission has a single payload, the Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS), which is an L-band radiometer using an interferometric technique to synthesize high resolution beams. It is formed by 69 antennas evenly distributed on a Y-shaped mechanical structure. The instrument was manufactured by EADS-CASA Espacio (ES) and was delivered to ESA for testing in May 2007. The payload is now integrated with the platform and ready for launching in November 2008.
Toward a characterization of human activities using smart devices: A micro/macro approach (2016)

The emergence of new connected devices has opened up new opportunities and allowed to imagine concepts that bring computer sciences and social sciences closer together. In particular, today's increasingly sophisticated miniature sensors allow to track and understand human activities and behavior with a great precision. Taking different approaches and perspectives, we use in this paper smartwatches and smartglasses to explore these behaviors and show that these objects, considered by many as gadgets, have an important role to play in understanding the lives of individuals. The main objective of this work is to introduce two new scales of activity detection, which lacks a formal and consistent definition in the literature. First, we propose a model that precisely detects and interprets movements made by a person wearing smart devices. Then, we use this model to show different interactions between those micro-activities and bigger chunks of behaviors we call macro-activities. Using a new concept based on 3D visualization, we finally show that combining those two scales and using a limited dataset, it is possible to distinguish between different individuals when they are performing very similar activities. The findings of this study lead the way to enhanced user profiling.
Combined sorptional–photocatalytic remediation of dyes by polyaniline Zr(IV) selenotungstophosphate nanocomposite (2015)

A polyaniline Zr(IV) selenotungstophosphate nanocomposite was prepared via sol-gel method and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The combined sorptional–photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposite for degradation of methylene blue and malachite green was investigated and was found to be more efficient than separate adsorption in the dark followed by photocatalysis. The dyes were degraded in 3 h by 96% and 89% by the combined process, as compared to 86% and 72% by the two-step process in 5 h. The nanocomposite material showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
Focused matrix factorization for audience selection in display advertising (2013)

Audience selection is a key problem in display advertising systems in which we need to select a list of users who are interested (i.e., most likely to buy) in an advertising campaign. The users' past feedback on this campaign can be leveraged to construct such a list using collaborative filtering techniques such as matrix factorization. However, the user-campaign interaction is typically extremely sparse, hence the conventional matrix factorization does not perform well. Moreover, simply combining the users feedback from all campaigns does not address this since it dilutes the focus on target campaign in consideration. To resolve these issues, we propose a novel focused matrix factorization model (FMF) which learns users' preferences towards the specific campaign products, while also exploiting the information about related products. We exploit the product taxonomy to discover related campaigns, and design models to discriminate between the users' interest towards campaign products and non-campaign products. We develop a parallel multi-core implementation of the FMF model and evaluate its performance over a real-world advertising dataset spanning more than a million products. Our experiments demonstrate the benefits of using our models over existing approaches.
Life-cycle monitoring scheme of malware download sites for websites (2010)

To protect many websites on cloud computing environments, we propose a scheme for monitoring the life cycles of malware download sites for websites and report the actual life cycles as monitored by web honeypots carrying vulnerable web applications. Recently, attackers have been using a large number of websites as hopping sites to attack other websites and user terminals. To create hopping sites, many attackers use vulnerabilities in web applications to force victims to download malware. To protect websites from these attacks, technologies for filtering access from websites to malware download sites, which are set by attackers, are effective. However, to update the filtering configuration, it is necessary to periodically identify malware since malware may be changed or removed from malware download sites. We propose a scheme for automatically updating the filtering configuration. It is based on dynamic malware analysis using attack re-creation by coupling the attack collection function (i.e., a web honeypot), attack analysis function (i.e., web attack analyzer), and filter management function (i.e., site monitoring system). Our investigations revealed that some malware files on malware download sites are replaced with other types of malware. In addition, they revealed that the life cycles of malware download sites are similar to those of normal web pages.
Biological Degradation of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (2001)

Nitroaromatic compounds are xenobiotics that have found multiple applications in the synthesis of foams, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and explosives. These compounds are toxic and recalcitrant and are degraded relatively slowly in the environment by microorganisms. 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is the most widely used nitroaromatic compound. Certain strains of Pseudomonas and fungi can use TNT as a nitrogen source through the removal of nitrogen as nitrite from TNT under aerobic conditions and the further reduction of the released nitrite to ammonium, which is incorporated into carbon skeletons. Phanerochaete chrysosporium and other fungi mineralize TNT under ligninolytic conditions by converting it into reduced TNT intermediates, which are excreted to the external milieu, where they are substrates for ligninolytic enzymes. Most if not all aerobic microorganisms reduce TNT to the corresponding amino derivatives via the formation of nitroso and hydroxylamine intermediates. Condensation of the latter compounds yields highly recalcitrant azoxytetranitrotoluenes. Anaerobic microorganisms can also degrade TNT through different pathways. One pathway, found in Desulfovibrio and Clostridium, involves reduction of TNT to triaminotoluene; subsequent steps are still not known. Some Clostridium species may reduce TNT to hydroxylaminodinitrotoluenes, which are then further metabolized. Another pathway has been described in Pseudomonas sp. strain JLR11 and involves nitrite release and further reduction to ammonium, with almost 85% of the N-TNT incorporated as organic N in the cells. It was recently reported that in this strain TNT can serve as a final electron acceptor in respiratory chains and that the reduction of TNT is coupled to ATP synthesis. In this review we also discuss a number of biotechnological applications of bacteria and fungi, including slurry reactors, composting, and land farming, to remove TNT from polluted soils. These treatments have been designed to achieve mineralization or reduction of TNT and immobilization of its amino derivatives on humic material. These approaches are highly efficient in removing TNT, and increasing amounts of research into the potential usefulness of phytoremediation, rhizophytoremediation, and transgenic plants with bacterial genes for TNT removal are being done.
Clocked-neuron-MOS logic circuits employing auto-threshold-adjustment (2002)

Using a multiple-input high-functionality transistor neuron MOSFET (/spl nu/MOS), demonstrates a dramatic simplification of logic circuit configuration compared to conventional CMOS circuitry. The purpose of this paper is to present a new clocked /spl nu/MOS logic circuit scheme in which a clock-driven switching transistor attached to the floating gate is used not only to initialize the floating-gate charge but also to perform auto-adjusting of its inverting threshold that cancels the fluctuations arising from fabrication.
Heat Transfer Measurements and Predictions for a Modern, High-Pressure, Transonic Turbine, Including Endwalls (2006)

This paper presents both measurements and predictions of the hot-gas-side heat transfer to a modern, one and 1/2 stage high-pressure, transonic turbine. Comparisons of the predicted and measured heat transfer are presented for each airfoil at three locations, as well as on the various endwalls and rotor tip. The measurements were performed using the Ohio State University Gas Turbine Laboratory Test Facility (TTF). The research program utilized an uncooled turbine stage at a range of operating conditions representative of the engine: in terms of corrected speed, flow function, stage pressure ratio, and gas-to-metal temperature ratio. All three airfoils were heavily instrumented for both pressure and heat transfer measurements at multiple locations. A 3-D, compressible, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes CFD solver with k-ω turbulence modeling was used for the CFD predictions. The entire, 1-1/2 stage turbine was solved using a single computation, at two different Reynolds numbers. The CFD solutions were steady, with tangentially mass-averaged inlet/exit boundary condition profiles exchanged between adjacent airfoil-rows. Overall, the CFD heat transfer predictions compared very favorably with both the global operation of the turbine and with the local measurements of heat transfer. A discussion of the features of the turbine heat transfer distributions, and their association with the corresponding flow-physics, has been included.

ATSC 3.0 Transmitter Carrier and Timing Offset for Co-Channel Interference Mitigation (2018)

The transition from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0 would most likely be based on the ATSC 1.0 coverage such that ATSC 3.0 stations can provide at least one fixed service with coverage greater than or equal to the replaced ATSC 1.0. However, designed with low SNR thresholds, the ATSC 3.0 robust services embedded in the same channel can be received much further away than the enhanced layer fixed services, and their coverage areas may overlap with those of the neighboring co-channel stations transmitting different programs. Such cochannel interferences (CCI) could be very high in some areas close to the boundary between the neighboring stations. Since the ATSC 3.0 system is designed with only one set of pilot sequences, the low SNR thresholds are more vulnerable to CCIs due to channel mismatch. Currently two sources causing CCIs are observed, one is the pilot overlapping, another is the Bootstrap overlapping. To resolve these problems, in this paper, carrier and timing offset techniques are proposed at the transmitter side to mitigate the CCIs, resulting in no impact to the receivers' implementation.
Abstract 16: Addressing Gaps In Cholesterol Management In Primary Cardiovascular Prevention In A Resident Run Internal Medicine Clinic: A Mixed Method Approach (2022)

Background: Provider and system level barriers can delay timely initiation of statin therapy in primary atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prevention. A simple, pragmatic and scalable quality improvement (QI) approach is needed to address these gaps. Methods: We describe methods and preliminary results of a QI initiative in a resident run internal medicine clinic in Cayuga Medical Center (total 19 residents, 5 attendings, ~200 patients seen/month with 10% no shows). First, we assessed rates of lipids tested and statin use in 40-75 years old patients without ASCVD. Second, we performed a focus group discussion (FGD) among residents, attendings and clinic leadership to understand barriers for statin use. Third, we outlined key actionable items informed by FGD. Finally, we will assess the impact of the intervention. Findings: We report baseline data in 325 consecutive patients (Table). Mean age was 55.2 years (50.2% women), 50.6% did not have lipids checked and only 17.5% were on statin therapy in the preceding 3 years. Three major themes from FGD were: lack of automated ASCVD score reporting in electronic medical record (EMR), insufficient clinic time and follow up visits. Subsequently, we adopted automated ASCVD risk reporting in EMR and telemedicine follow up to address identified gaps and associated downstream impact, which is currently ongoing. Conclusion: Using mixed-method approach, we describe an implementation strategy to address gaps in cholesterol management in primary prevention patients in a resident run clinic. If effective, this strategy can be a model for other clinics.
Mutation and Polymorphism Detection: A Technical Overview (2003)

Analysis of DNA variation (polymorphism and mutations) is one of the most common challenges faced by molecular biologists. Studies of polymorphisms and mutations as molecular markers of or underlying causes of disease have confirmed the importance of mutation and polymorphism detection. With mutation detection currently being so important for the study of genetic diseases, gene discovery, and solving problems of basic biology, there is a large demand for quick and relatively cheap methods for mutation detection. Therefore, many different methods have been developed for detecting new mutations and screening populations for known mutations or polymorphisms. Traditional mutation detection systems, such as restriction fragment length polymorphism and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, have their limitations. With restriction fragment length polymorphism, the mutational event needs to either create or destroy a restriction site (). With denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, although a change at a restriction digest site is not required, this method may only detect about 50% of possible mutations and polymorphisms (). The use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based mutation and polymorphism detection systems increase the sensitivity and accuracy of the screening methods. This chapter will introduce some of the available detection methods and discuss the problems associated with these techniques.
Extended Bennia-Riad criterion for iterative frequency-domain deconvolution (1994)

In this paper, we present a new, fast, robust and accurate iterative frequency-domain deconvolution technique. The deconvolution problem is mathematically classified as an ill-posed problem. We propose a new generalized deconvolution filter, and we use the so-called extended "Bennia-Riad" criterion to determine the optimal filter parameters.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Citric Acid Cycle Intermediates in Cardioprotection (2014)

Over the last decade, there has been a concerted clinical effort to deliver on the laboratory promise that a variety of maneuvers can profoundly increase cardiac tolerance to ischemia and/or reduce additional damage consequent upon reperfusion. Here we will review the proximity of the metabolic approach to clinical practice. Specifically, we will focus on how the citric acid cycle is involved in cardioprotection. Inspired by cross-fertilization between fundamental cancer biology and cardiovascular medicine, a set of metabolic observations have identified novel metabolic pathways, easily manipulable in man, which can harness metabolism to robustly combat ischemia-reperfusion injury.
