An UAV-Based Experimental Setup for Propagation Characterization in Urban Environment (2021)

A measurement setup, including millimeter-wave and ultrawideband transceivers mounted on both a customized unmanned aerial vehicle and a ground station and a measurement procedure for full 3-D wireless propagation analysis, is described in this work. The custom-made developed system represents a flexible solution for the characterization of wireless channels and especially of urban propagation, as the drone might be easily located almost anywhere from ground level to the buildings’ rooftop and beyond. The double-directional properties of the channel can be achieved by rotating directive antennas at the link ends. Other possible applications in urban contexts include the study of outdoor-to-indoor penetration, line-of-sight to non-line-of-sight transition, 3-D scattering from buildings, and air-to-ground channel characterization for drone-assisted wireless communications.
Computational Attention System for Children, Adults and Elderly (2019)

The existing computational visual attention systems have focused on the objective to basically simulate and understand the concept of visual attention system in adults. Consequently, the impact of observer's age in scene viewing behavior has rarely been considered. This study quantitatively analyzed the age-related differences in gaze landings during scene viewing for three different class of images: naturals, man-made, and fractals. Observer's of different age-group have shown different scene viewing tendencies independent to the class of the image viewed. Several interesting observations are drawn from the results. First, gaze landings for man-made dataset showed that whereas child observers focus more on the scene foreground, i.e., locations that are near, elderly observers tend to explore the scene background, i.e., locations farther in the scene. Considering this result a framework is proposed in this paper to quantitatively measure the depth bias tendency across age groups. Second, the quantitative analysis results showed that children exhibit the lowest exploratory behavior level but the highest central bias tendency among the age groups and across the different scene categories. Third, inter-individual similarity metrics reveal that an adult had significantly lower gaze consistency with children and elderly compared to other adults for all the scene categories. Finally, these analysis results were consequently leveraged to develop a more accurate age-adapted saliency model independent to the image type. The prediction accuracy suggests that our model fits better to the collected eye-gaze data of the observers belonging to different age groups than the existing models do.
Synthesis and Characterization of 8-Yttrium(III)-Containing 81-Tungsto-8-Arsenate(III), [Y8(CH3COO)(H2O)18(As2W19O68)4(W2O6)2(WO4)]43− (2015)

The 8-yttrium(III)-containing 81-tungsto-8-arsenate(III) [Y8(CH3COO)(H2O)18(As2W19O68)4(W2O6)2(WO4)]43− (1) has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction of yttrium(III) ions with [B-α-AsW9O33]9− in 1 M NaOAc/HOAc buffer at pH 4.8. Polyanion 1 is composed of four {As2W19O68} units, two {W2O10} fragments, one {WO6} group, and eight YIII ions. The hydrated cesium-sodium salt of 1 (CsNa-1) was characterized in the solid-state by single-crystal XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses.
Search for heavy lepton resonances decaying to a Z boson and a lepton in pp collisions at s=8 $$ \sqrt{s}=8 $$ TeV with the ATLAS detector (2015)

A search for heavy leptons decaying to a Z boson and an electron or a muon is presented. The search is based on pp collision data taken at s = 8 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb -1 . Three high-transverse-momentum electrons or muons are selected, with two of them required to be consistent with originating from a Z boson decay. No significant excess above Standard Model background predictions is observed, and 95% confidence level limits on the production cross section of high-mass trilepton resonances are derived. The results are interpreted in the context of vector-like lepton and type-III seesaw models. For the vector-like lepton model, most heavy lepton mass values in the range 114-176 GeV are excluded. For the type-III seesaw model, most mass values in the range 100-468 GeV are excluded.
Behavioral/emotional profiles of preschool language-impaired children (1989)

Abstract Previous research has suggested that language-impaired (LI) children have a high prevalence of psychiatric disorders, and conversely, that children being treated for psychiatric disorders have a high incidence of language impairment. To investigate the relationship between developmental language and psychiatric disorders further, the behavioral and emotional status of a large, well-defined group of preschool-age LI and matched control children were evaluated using the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Based on parent report, data were analyzed for broad- as well as narrow-band syndromes. For the broad-band syndromes, results demonstrated significant between-group differences for boys, but not girls. However, for the narrow-band syndromes, unexpectedly few significant between-group differences were found for boys or girls. Only the Immaturity scale for boys and Social Withdrawal scale for girls proved significantly different between groups. Inspection of the items that comprised these two scales revealed a high prevalence of items which relate to attention, perception, and motor functions. As previous research with LI children has demonstrated that highly significant perceptual/motor disorders characterize this population, additional analyses were performed to determine the extent to which attention, perception, and motor items on the CBCL contributed to the significant group differences found. When items classified as assessing attention, perception, or motor functioning were excluded, few significant between-group differences remained. Subsequent analyses demonstrated a high correlation between the CBCL items classified as assessing attention, perception, or motor functions and the performance of LI and normal children on a battery of non-verbal attention, perception, and motor tasks. These results suggest that psychiatric disorders previously identified in LI children may be related primarily to specific neurodevelopmental delay in perceptual/motor functioning.
Rotating vector methods for smooth torque control of a switched reluctance motor drive (2000)

This paper has two primary contributions to switched reluctance motor (SRM) control: a systematic approach to smooth torque production and a high-performance technique for sensorless motion control. The systematic approach to smooth torque production is based on development of novel rotating spatial vectors methods that can be used to predict the torque produced in an arbitrary SRM. This analysis directly leads to explicit, insightful methods to provide smooth torque control of SRMs. The high-performance technique for sensorless motion control is based on a rotating vector method for high bandwidth, high resolution, position, and velocity estimation suitable for both precise torque and motion control. The sensorless control and smooth torque control methods are both verified experimentally.

Germanium besetzt vorzugsweise Plätze in Doppel-Viererring-Käfigen, der Sekundärbaueinheit des Polymorphs C, und hat die Bildung von Polymorph C unabhängig vom verwendeten organischen Strukturdirektor zur Folge.
Long-Term Stress Distribution Patterns Across the Elbow Joint in Baseball Players Assessed by Computed Tomography Osteoabsorptiometry (2010)

The results indicate that actual stress across the elbow is concentrated in the posterior part of the trochlea in humans. Baseball pitching may produce excessive or repetitive stress against not only this part, but also the anterior part of the capitellum. The majority of osteochondritis dissecans lesions affecting the elbow are found in the anterior part of the capitellum in throwing athletes. The results may support an important role of mechanical conditions in the cause of elbow osteochondritis dissecans.
Lysis of fresh human solid tumors by autologous lymphocytes activated in vitro with lectins. (1982)

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), obtained from patients with a variety of cancers, were incubated in vitro with phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin A, and crude or lectin-free T-cell growth factors. The lectin-activated PBL of nine patients were capable of lysing fresh autologous tumor during a 4-hr 51Cr release assay. Multiple metastases from the same patient were equivalently lysed by these activated autologous PBL. No lysis of fresh PBL or lectin-induced lymphoblast cell targets was seen, although tumor, PBL, and lymphoblast cells were shown to be equally lysable using allosensitized cells. The activated cells could be expanded without loss of cytotoxicity in crude or lectin-free T-cell growth factors. The generation of cells lytic to fresh autologous tumor was dependent on the presence of adherent cells, although the lytic cell itself was not adherent. Proliferation was not involved in the induction of lytic cells since equal lysis was induced in irradiated and nonirradiated lymphocytes. Lectin was not required in the lytic assay, and the addition of alpha-methyl-D-mannoside to concanavalin A-activated lymphoid cells did not increase the lysis of fresh tumor cells. Activation by lectin for 3 days appears to be an efficient and convenient method for generating human cells lytic to fresh autologous tumor. These lytic cells may be of value for studies of the cell-mediated lysis of human tumor and possibly for tumor immunotherapy as well.
Maximum-Likelihood Estimation for Indicator Dilution Analysis (2013)

Indicator-dilution methods are widely used by many medical imaging techniques and by dye-, lithium-, and thermodilution measurements. The measured indicator dilution curves are typically fitted by a mathematical model to estimate the hemodynamic parameters of interest. This paper presents a new maximum-likelihood algorithm for parameter estimation, where indicator dilution curves are considered as the histogram of underlying transit-time distribution. Apart from a general description of the algorithm, semianalytical solutions are provided for three well-known indicator dilution models. An adaptation of the algorithm is also introduced to cope with indicator recirculation. In simulations as well as in experimental data obtained by dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging, the proposed algorithm shows a superior parameter estimation accuracy over nonlinear least-squares regression. The feasibility of the algorithm for use in vivo is evaluated using dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound recordings obtained with the purpose of prostate cancer detection. The proposed algorithm shows an improved ability (increase in receiver-operating characteristic curve area of up to 0.13) with respect to existing methods to differentiate between healthy tissue and cancer.

Glucose Measurement by Affinity Sensor and Pulsed Measurements of Fluidic Resistances (2014)

Affinity sensors for glucose are based on a different measuring principle than the commercially available amperometric needle type sensors: reversible affinity interaction of glucose with specific receptors is the primary recognition mechanism instead of an enzymatic glucose oxidation. A novel pulsed-flow micro-fluidic system was used to characterize first the viscosity of a sensitive liquid containing the glucose receptor Concanavalin A and dextran and in a second approach to characterize the geometry of a fluidic resistance. In the viscometric sensor, glucose of the sensitive liquid is equilibrated, while passing through a dialysis chamber, with the surrounding medium. With the membrane flow sensor, the viscosity of the liquid remains constant but the pores of the flow-resisting membrane contain a swellable hydrogel affecting the width of the pores. Two types of hydrogel were tested with the membrane flow sensor; one is highly sensitive to pH and salt concentration, the other contains receptors of phenyl boronic acids to obtain sensitivity to glucose. The viscometric affinity sensor (first approach) showed a linear response over 0 to 30 mmol/L glucose concentration range. The disturbing effect of air bubbles could be compensated for. The sensing proof of principle of the second approach could be demonstrated by its linear response to different saline concentrations; however, the glucose-sensitive membrane developed showed only a small response to glucose. Glucose monitoring based on this pulsed flow measuring principle offers interesting alternatives for the development of CGM systems with different options for the glucose sensing part.
Toward Scalable Fully Homomorphic Encryption Through Light Trusted Computing Assistance (2019)

It has been a long standing problem to securely outsource computation tasks to an untrusted party with integrity and confidentiality guarantees. While fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) is a promising technique that allows computations performed on the encrypted data, it suffers from a significant slow down to the computation. In this paper we propose a hybrid solution that uses the latest hardware Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to assist FHE by moving the bootstrapping step, which is one of the major obstacles in designing practical FHE schemes, to a secured SGX enclave. TEEFHE, the hybrid system we designed, makes it possible for homomorphic computations to be performed on smaller ciphertext and secret key, providing better performance and lower memory consumption. We make an effort to mitigate side channel leakages within SGX by making the memory access patterns totally independent from the secret information. The evaluation shows that TEEFHE effectively improves the software only FHE schemes in terms of both time and space.
Upper bounds on the rate of LDPC codes (2002)

We derive upper bounds on the rate of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for which reliable communication is achievable. We first generalize Gallager's (1963) bound to a general binary-input symmetric-output channel. We then proceed to derive tighter bounds. We also derive upper bounds on the rate as a function of the minimum distance of the code. We consider both individual codes and ensembles of codes.
Luminescent Quantum Clusters of Gold in Bulk by Albumin‐Induced Core Etching of Nanoparticles: Metal Ion Sensing, Metal‐Enhanced Luminescence, and Biolabeling (2010)

The synthesis of a luminescent quantum cluster (QC) of gold with a quantum yield of approximately 4 % is reported. It was synthesized in gram quantities by the core etching of mercaptosuccinic acid protected gold nanoparticles by bovine serum albumin (BSA), abbreviated as Au(QC)@BSA. The cluster was characterized and a core of Au(38) was assigned tentatively from mass spectrometric analysis. Luminescence of the QC is exploited as a "turn-off" sensor for Cu(2+) ions and a "turn-on" sensor for glutathione detection. Metal-enhanced luminescence (MEL) of this QC in the presence of silver nanoparticles is demonstrated and a ninefold maximum enhancement is seen. This is the first report of the observation of MEL from QCs. Folic acid conjugated Au(QC)@BSA was found to be internalized to a significant extent by oral carcinoma KB cells through folic acid mediated endocytosis. The inherent luminescence of the internalized Au(QC)@BSA was used in cell imaging.
Janus Monolayer Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides (2017)

The crystal configuration of sandwiched S-Mo-Se structure (Janus SMoSe) at the monolayer limit has been synthesized and carefully characterized in this work. By controlled sulfurization of monolayer MoSe<sub>2</sub>, the top layer of selenium atoms is substituted by sulfur atoms, while the bottom selenium layer remains intact. The structure of this material is systematically investigated by Raman, photoluminescence, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and confirmed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed to better understand the Raman vibration modes and electronic structures of the Janus SMoSe monolayer, which are found to correlate well with corresponding experimental results. Finally, high basal plane hydrogen evolution reaction activity is discovered for the Janus monolayer, and DFT calculation implies that the activity originates from the synergistic effect of the intrinsic defects and structural strain inherent in the Janus structure.

Room temperature reduction of nitrogen oxide on iron Metal-Organic Frameworks (2023)

Air pollution is an epochal concern, particularly in urban areas, and is linked to combustion processes 1 . The emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) constitutes a critical environmental problem, and it can affect severely human health2,3,4 . At ambient temperature and pressure NOx decomposition is thermodynamically favoured; however, this process is kinetically inhibited, owing to a high activation energy5,6 . To date, no reported catalysts have had the required properties to lower the activation energy of this process without the help of coreacting agents and high temperatures7,8,9 . Here, we show that NO conversion to molecular nitrogen can be achieved at room temperature in the presence of O2 and H2O vapour, and in the absence of any further reducing agent, using iron-based Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). Further, we demonstrate that MOFs work similarly to enzymes, but are stable in environments unfriendly to living matter. These findings open large perspectives on the solution of stringent problems in chemistry, such as the removal of pollutants or the activation of highly stable molecules.
Wireless data flow control (2020)

Wireless data flow controlBackground Data flow control over the internet is one of the most widespread control applications on the planet.TCP is e.g. based on transmit packet window manipulation at the transmitting source, based on ACK/NACK feedback.Hence this control problem is a networked one, with the controller located in another node than the controlled process which resides at the other side of TCP.Wireless data flow control will become increasingly important with the introduction of 5G wireless technology in the coming years, mainly for two reasons.First new use cases appear, like critical machine type communication (C-MTC).C-MTC aims to introduce wireless control of advanced high bandwidth processes in robotics, automotive safety, medicine and power distribution.In these applications quantities like latency and bit error rate will need to be reduced significantly as compared to what can be guaranteed today.Secondly, new wireless spectrum above 10 GHz will be exploited.At these frequencies the rate of variation of the radio channel and the associated wireless data rate both increase due to an increased radio shadowing in more challenging indoor environments.Since the wireless interface is normally the bottle-neck, it needs to be fully utilized.The quickly varying wireless rate, together with the backhaul delays to the node that feeds the wireless transmit node with data, makes it necessary to use transmit data queues.These queues store data for coming wireless transmissions at the wireless interface, thereby avoiding data starvation in case of a sudden increase of the wireless data rate.Since these queues add to the round trip delays, their queuing delays need to be balanced against the likelihood of an empty queue, in order to keep the latencies down.It is the task of flow control to solve this networked control problem.Here the increasing number of users adds to the difficulty.This follows since flow control operates per data stream or bearer.Since there will be thousands of users served by each base station, and since each user may use many bearers, there will be a large amount of flow controller instances operating in parallel.This is why computational complexity needs to be a part of the overall design equation.Three main requirements therefore needs to be met by new wireless flow controllers.They need to control the data stream so as to guarantee a set delay. be designed to be globally stable, to guarantee correct operation at all times. have a low and constant computational complexity.
Integrated Luneburg lens via ultra-strong index gradient on silicon (2011)

Gradient index structures are gaining increased importance with the constant development of Transformation Optics and metamaterials. Our ability to fabricate such devices, while limited, has already demonstrated the extensive capabilities of those designs, in the forms of invisibility devices, as well as illusion optics and super-lensing. In this paper we present a low loss, high index contrast lens that is integrated with conventional nanophotonic waveguides to provide improved tolerance in fiber-to-chip optical links for future communication networks. This demonstration represents a positive step in making the extraordinary capabilities of gradient index devices available for integrated optics.
