Examination of design strategies for inverter-driven induction machines (2012)

Considerations for the design of inverter-driven induction machines are presented. Decades of innovation and evolution within the realm of fixed frequency and voltage excitation has allowed the induction machine to become a mature and widely used electromechanical system. Well-defined and accepted performance criteria for conventional line-fed induction machines are used to adequately reduce the machine design space to manageable proportions. Due to the altered operational conditions that exist for inverter-driven systems with power electronics-based converters, generalized constraining conditions are not so well defined, and thus the design space has not been clearly determined. This work explores many of the geometrical design variables and conventions that are commonly employed, the motivation behind their existence, and how/if they are affected by the introduction of high-fidelity power electronics-based machine excitations. An electric traction system requiring a broad constant-power region is used to establish how application-specific constraints heavily determine overall design objectives, allowing for design flexibility in slot count, skewing, and rotor bar geometries to be noted.
Effect of inoculation with a microbial consortium that degrades organic acids on the composting efficiency of food waste (2018)

In order to overcome the excessive acidification problem, a microbial consortium for the degradation of organic acids (MCDOA), which acts synergistically in degrading organic acids, was developed and used as an inoculum to improve the efficiency of food waste composting. MCDOA could eliminate the initial lag phase of the pile temperature rise because of excessive acidification and effectively shorten the composting period. Fluorescence regional integration analysis of the excitation-emission matrix spectra of dissolved organic matter showed that compared with raw material, in compost with MCDOA inoculation, the percent fluorescence response (P<sub>i,n</sub> ) values of Regions I, II and IV decreased by 95.11%, 94.19% and 87.41%, respectively, and P<sub>i,n</sub> of Region V increased by 172.57%. The decreased and increased levels were markedly higher than in the two control groups (MgO and K<sub>2</sub> HPO<sub>4</sub> treatment, and uninoculated compost). These findings revealed that MCDOA accelerated the degradation of proteinaceous compounds and the formation of complicated humic-like materials. Bacterial profiles implied that MCDOA could improve the indigenous bacterial community structure and diversities of acetic and propionic acid-degrading and lignin-degrading bacteria, which might account for the high composting efficiency and degree of humification of the inoculated compost.
Basic Principles in Photomedicine and Photochemistry (2018)

This chapter focuses on the basic concepts involved in the interaction of ultraviolet and visible radiation with biomolecules. The photochemical reactions of molecules in skin are emphasized. Familiarity with these concepts will lead to a better understanding of the effects of light on skin and of the applications of light in dermatology. Photomedicine is concerned with the responses of tissue to these types of light as well as with the use of light for therapeutic purposes. The most important of the processes in photomedicine is photochemistry because photochemical reactions of biological molecules initiate skin responses to light. Skin contains many chromophores absorbing in the visible and UV range. Some, but not all, initiate photobiological responses after absorbing a photon of light. A goal of photobiology and photomedicine is to learn which chromophores are involved in a specific biological response to light and which biochemical processes translate the photochemistry of the chromophore into the biological response.

Applications, mechanisms and real-time monitoring of enhanced drug transport by sustained inertial cavitation (2019)

Sustained inertial cavitation seeded by microbubbles, sub-micron cavitation nuclei or even without any cavitation nucleation agent has been shown to enable increased delivery and penetration of drugs and vaccines across the skin, into solid tumours and across the blood-brain barrier. The safety and efficacy of these applications are typically monitored using single-element passive cavitation detectors, or more recently using multi-element arrays that enable real-time passive acoustic mapping of cavitation activity. We will provide an overview of the different types of cavitation nucleation agents which are available to use, the type and persistence of acoustic emissions that they are typically associated with, and, where possible, a direct comparison between the performance of different nucleation strategies to achieve the desired drug delivery bioeffect in the target of interest. We will then turn our attention to the presently available strategies for real-time monitoring of safety and efficacy, with specific reference to the benefits offered by the ability to achieve spatiotemporal monitoring of cavitation activity to correlate it with bioeffects in subsets of the overall region of interest.
Analysis of Mutant Phenotypes and Splicing Defects Demonstrates Functional Collaboration between the Large and Small Subunits of the Essential Splicing Factor U2AF In Vivo (2004)

The heterodimeric splicing factor U2AF plays an important role in 3' splice site selection, but the division of labor between the two subunits in vivo remains unclear. In vitro assays led to the proposal that the human large subunit recognizes 3' splice sites with extensive polypyrimidine tracts independently of the small subunit. We report in vivo analysis demonstrating that all five domains of spU2AFLG are essential for viability; a partial deletion of the linker region, which forms the small subunit interface, produces a severe growth defect and an aberrant morphology. A small subunit zinc-binding domain mutant confers a similar phenotype, suggesting that the heterodimer functions as a unit during splicing in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. As this is not predicted by the model for metazoan 3' splice site recognition, we sought introns for which the spU2AFLG and spU2AFSM make distinct contributions by analyzing diverse splicing events in strains harboring mutations in each partner. Requirements for the two subunits are generally parallel and, moreover, do not correlate with the length or strength of the 3' pyrimidine tract. These and other studies performed in fission yeast support a model for 3' splice site recognition in which the two subunits of U2AF functionally collaborate in vivo.
Inside Cover: Molecular Bases for Anesthetic Agents: Halothane as a Halogen‐ and Hydrogen‐Bond Donor (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 36/2019) (2019)

Halothane, a commonly used anesthetic can simultaneously function as a hydrogen-bond and a halogen-bond donor in the solid state and in solution, as shown by S. V. Rosokha, G. Resnati, and co-workers in their Communication on page 12456 ff. Both interactions involve moieties commonly present in cell membranes, probable target structures of halothane in the human body. The ability of the agent to act as a polydentate tecton gives a molecular rationale for its eudismic ratio.

Field analytical technology verification: The ETV Site Characterization Program (1998)

Innovative field characterization and monitoring technologies are often slow to be adopted by the environmental engineering/consulting community because of concerns that their performance has not been proven by an independent testing body, and/or they have not received the EPA`s blessing on a regional or national level. The purpose of the EPA Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Site Characterization Pilot, a joint effort between EPA and DOE, is to accelerate the acceptance of technologies that reduce the cost and increase the speed of environmental clean-up and monitoring. Technology verifications that have been completed or are underway include: in situ technologies for the characterization of sub-surface hydrocarbon plumes, field-portable GC/MS systems, field-portable X-ray fluorescence analyzers, soil sampling technologies, field-portable PCB analyzers, analyzers for VOC analysis at the wellhead, and decision support software systems to aid site sample collection and contaminant plume definition. The verification process follows a somewhat generic pathway. A user-community need is identified, the vendor community is canvassed, and relevant, interested companies are selected. A demonstration plan is prepared by the verification organization and circulated to participants prior to the field activities. Field trials are normally held at two geologically or environmentally different sites and typically require one week at each site. Samples (soil, soil gas, water, surface wipe etc.) provided to the vendor at the demonstration include site-specific samples and standards or performance evaluation samples. Sample splits are sent to a pre-selected laboratory for analysis using a reference method. Laboratory data are used for comparison with field technology results during the data analysis phase of the demonstration.
A theory for the most stable variable viscosity profile in graded mobility displacement processes (1985)

Abstract The stability of the displacement of a viscous fluid in a porous medium by a less viscous fluid containing an additive is considered. For the case in which the total amount of injected additive is fixed, a theory has been formulated to find the graded mobility profile which minimizes the instability due to an adverse mobility ratio. The result is a constrained nonlinear eigenvalue problem in which the mobility ratio of the fluids, α, and the total dimensionless amount of additive, N , appear as parameters. Estimates show N is typically large for practical situations. An asymptotic solution for large N is developed which shows that the optimal mobility profile is always an exponential curve at leading order. It is shown that although the optimal mobility profile is nearly exponential, the optimal concentration profile is not necesarily so, contrary to previous suggestions in the literature. Furthermore, it is shown that, unlike the case of a mobility jump, a graded mobility process under optimal conditions has amplifications independent of displacement velocity. We also discuss a possibile stabilization mechanism due to the very long wavelength disturbances which occur under optimal conditions.

TLD based vehicle tracking system for AR-HUD using HOG and online SVM in EHMI (2015)

We present a TLD-based vehicle tracking method, which uses HOG that is precomputed in the detection process, and an online SVM re-detector. We perform HOG-based tracking in EHMI. When the tracking fails, the system performs redetection for neighboring regions. Tracked vehicles are reused as positive data for re-learning. Therefore, the proposed system performs robust tracking without additional computation.
The ends of justice: climate vulnerability beyond the pale (2011)

Liberal egalitarian theorists of justice seek to bring the least advantaged into the fold of moral concern, but are found wanting when confronted both with the problem structure of climate change and the challenge of a protracted belligerent occupation. Both conditions are under-examined in liberal political theory, and when these circumstances converge, as with the climate vulnerability of the Palestinians, the limitations are compounded. In contrast, Giorgio Agamben’s ‘state of exception’ thesis claims to offer theoretical insights on conditions beyond the legal and moral pale of liberal justice: here the exceptional case unmasks the unacknowledged conditions of political authority, notably the arbitrary violence of a ‘force of law without law’ against those seen as threatening the security of the state. And it is the nature of Israel as a security state, under a constant emergency footing, that gives force to claims that it embodies a state of exception. This chapter examines the means by which Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory affects the vulnerability of Palestinians to the disruptive climate change impacts forecast for the region. It is concluded that the state of exception thesis does not capture the politics of climate injustice in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter with a distributed control system for solar applications (2022)

In the photovoltaic (PV) field, the solar Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHBMLI) is considered to be an interesting candidate as a grid-tied converter due to its modular multilevel construction. The main advantages of this topology are the reduction of passive elements, modularity and local Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), which ensure maximum energy extraction. However, due to the complexity of multi-level system, demonstrators often operate at low frequencies (less than 5 kHz) with a low number of PV panels (between 3 and 5). This paper proposes the use of a distributed real-time hardware architecture with a complete control scheme to increase both the switching frequency (20 kHz) and the number of PV panels used (up to 20). The hardware architecture is based on a real-time communication fieldbus between local controllers, connected to each PV panel thanks to a shared insulated data bus, and a master controller. This distributed system presents the advantages of modularity and scalability. An adapted control scheme is presented to ensure the independent control of each DC (Direct Current) voltage and the output grid current. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the specified topology while achieving a 20 kHz frequency with 6 modules.
Acoustic Source Localization Based on Geometric Projection in Reverberant and Noisy Environments (2018)

Acoustic source localization (ASL) is a fundamental yet still challenging signal processing problem in sound acquisition, speech communication, and human-machine interfaces. Many ASL algorithms have been developed, such as the steered response power (SRP), the SRP-phase transform, the minimum variance distortionless response, the multiple signal classification (MUSIC), the householder transform-based methods, to name but a few. Most of those algorithms require hundreds or even thousands of snapshots to produce one reliable estimate, which make them difficult to track moving sources. Moreover, not much efforts have been reported in the literature to show the intrinsic relationships among those methods. This paper deals with the ASL problem with its focal point placed on how to achieve ASL with a short frame of acoustic signal (corresponding to a single snapshot in the frequency domain). It reformulates the ASL problem from the perspective of geometric projection. Four types of power functions are proposed, leading to several different algorithms for ASL. By analyzing those power functions, we show the equivalence between the popularly used conventional algorithms and our methods, which provides some new insights into the conventional algorithms. The relationships among different algorithms are discussed, which make it easy to comprehend the pros and cons of each of those methods. Experiments in real acoustic environments corroborate the theoretical analysis, which in turn justifies the contribution of this paper.

TLR7 Agonist GS-9620 Is a Potent Inhibitor of Acute HIV-1 Infection in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (2016)

GS-9620 is a potent and selective oral Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist that directly activates plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). GS-9620 suppressed hepatitis B virus (HBV) in animal models of chronic infection and transiently activated HIV expression ex vivo in latently infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from virally suppressed patients. Currently, GS-9620 is under clinical evaluation for treating chronic HBV infection and for reducing latent reservoirs in virally suppressed HIV-infected patients. Here, we investigated the in vitro anti-HIV-1 activity of GS-9620. GS-9620 potently inhibited viral replication in PBMCs, particularly when it was added 24 to 48 h prior to HIV infection (50% effective concentration = 27 nM). Depletion of pDCs but not other immune cell subsets from PBMC cultures suppressed GS-9620 antiviral activity. Although GS-9620 was inactive against HIV in purified CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells and macrophages, HIV replication was potently inhibited by conditioned medium derived from GS-9620-treated pDC cultures when added to CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells prior to infection. This suggests that GS-9620-mediated stimulation of PBMCs induced the production of a soluble factor(s) inhibiting HIV replication in trans GS-9620-treated PBMCs primarily showed increased production of interferon alpha (IFN-α), and cotreatment with IFN-α-blocking antibodies reversed the HIV-1-inhibitory effect of GS-9620. Additional studies demonstrated that GS-9620 inhibited a postentry event in HIV replication at a step coincident with or prior to reverse transcription. The simultaneous activation of HIV-1 expression and inhibition of HIV-1 replication are important considerations for the clinical evaluation of GS-9620 since these antiviral effects may help restrict potential local HIV spread upon in vivo latency reversal.

Algorithm for detection of small-bowel metastasis in malignant melanoma of the skin (2011)

SBMs are frequent in advanced melanoma. In stage III patients, screening for intestinal blood loss by PIE may help to identify SBMs. In stage IV, indication for PIE should depend on the individual consequences of detecting SBM, but not on bleeding symptoms alone.
Dynamic Gain Equalization in Two-Stage Fiber Amplifiers (1990)

Relative gain differences among channels in WDM amplified lightwave systems can be corrected in two-stage fiber amplifiers having complementary gain spectra in each stage. With two channels spaced by 2.5 nm, relative gain corrections of 1 dB were demonstrated. Simulations show that this method can be used to dynamically equalize the channel gain in long-distance transmission systems.

Inside Front Cover: Trilayered Ceramic–Metal–Polymer Microcantilevers with Dramatically Enhanced Thermal Sensitivity (Adv. Mater. 9/2006) (2006)

Abstract A novel trilayered (ceramic–metal–polymer) design for highly sensitive, thermally responsive microcantilever arrays is reported on p. 1157 by Tsukruk and co‐workers. In this design, the topmost nanocomposite layer, reinforced with carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles, acts as a strong thermal‐stress‐driven actuator to enhance conventional biomaterial performance. These polymer–metal–ceramic microcantilevers with enhanced (fourfold) thermal sensitivity may serve as a basis for the next generation of uncooled thermal microsensor arrays because of outstanding thermal and spatial resolution.
