La limpieza de los sitios contaminados pueden realizarla las plantas transgénicas cultivándolas en los suelos contaminados o en suelos próximos a acuíferos&#13;\ncontaminados. Las plantas extraen TNT y lo detoxifican.Estas plantas transgénicas pueden restaurar sitios altamente contaminados, y así permitir la ecolonización del suelo limpio por plantas autóctonas que no verían inhibido su crecimiento debido a la eliminación del contaminante.
Effects of polishing, etching, cleaving, and water leaching on the UV laser damage of fused silica (1998)

A damage morphology study was performed with a 355 nm, 8-ns Nd:YAG laser on synthetic UV-grade fused silica to determine the effects of post-polish chemical etching on laser-induced damage, compare damage morphologies of cleaved and polished surfaces, and understand the effects of the hydrolyzed surface layer and water-crack interactions. The samples were polished, then chemically etched in a buffered HF solution to remove 45, 90, 135, and 180 nm of surface material. Another set of sample was cleaved and soaked in boiling distilled water for 1 second and 1 hour. All the samples were irradiated at damaging fluences and characterized by Normarski optical microscopy and scanning electron microscope. Damage was initiated at micro-pits on both input and output surface of the polished fused silica sample. At higher fluences, the micro-pits generated cracks on the surface. Laser damage of the etched fused silica surface shoed that the real density of micro-pits decreased with etched thickness. SIMS analysis of the polished surface showed significant trace contamination levels within a 50 nm surface layer. Micro-pits formation also appeared after irradiating cleaved fused silica surfaces at damaging fluences. Linear damage tracks corresponding cleaving cracks were often observed on cleaved surfaces. Soaking cleaved samples in water produced wide laser damage tracks.

Magnetic hyperfine fields in FeZrB amorphous alloys (1998)

FeZrB amorphous alloys with two different iron contents have been investigated by means of the Mossbauer spectroscopy over the temperature range 77-300 K. The thermal evolutions of spectral parameters are reported. The distributions of hyperfine fields, which show a bimodal profile, are simulated by two split Gaussian components and interpreted in terms of two different local environments of Fe atoms. One of them is identified with the exclusively Fe coordinated atoms, whereas the other is attributed to Fe atoms which have some Zr and B atoms as nearest neighbours.
Defect Mapping and Densification in Self-Assembled Monolayers of Octadecyltrichlorosilane on SiO<sub>2</sub> (2023)

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be used for surface functional control to assist with pattern collapse prevention and as a protective layer to enable Area Selective Deposition (ASD). To be successful, these applications require the formation of a high-density, defect-free, so-called well-packed SAM at the nm scale. In this paper, we describe a method to map the nm scale defects of octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODTS) SAMs using a post-etching AFM analysis of the surface of the substrate and used this technique to develop a process to form high-density, defect-free SAM layer at the nm scale. This was achieved by optimizing the water concentration in the solvent for the precursor solution and annealing after SAM formation.
Nonlinear propagation of an asymmetric double exponential waveform (1979)

A weak-shock solution is obtained for the nonlinear propagation of a waveform that initially has the form of an asymmetric double exponential. Such a wave shocks at its peak, so that shock growth and wave-amplitude attenuation occur simultaneously. Simple formulas for wave amplitude, shock amplitude, and arrival time are given as is an expression for the waveform. We also present a general technique for obtaining weak-shock solutions for the amplitude of any integrable waveform that forms a single shock.
Infrared tubular microcavity based on rolled-up GeSn/Ge nanomembranes (2018)

Germanium-Tin (GeSn) alloys have attracted great amounts of attention as these group IV semiconductors present direct band-gap behavior with high Sn content and are compatible with current complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology. In this work, three dimensional tubular GeSn/Ge micro-resonators with a diameter of around 7.3 μm were demonstrated by rolling up GeSn nanomembranes (NM) grown on a Ge-on-insulator wafer via molecular beam epitaxy. The microstructural properties of the resonators were carefully investigated and the strain distributions of the rolled-up GeSn/Ge microcavities along the radial direction were studied by utilizing micro-Raman spectroscopy with different excitation laser wavelengths. The values of the strains calculated from Raman shifts agree well with the theoretical prediction. Coupled with fiber tapers, as-fabricated devices present a high quality factor of up to 800 in the transmission spectral measurements. The micro-resonators fabricated via rolled-up nanotechnology and GeSn/Ge NMs in this work may have great potential in photonic micro- and nanodevices.
Multi-worm tracking using superposition of merit functions (2008)

Traditional solutions for long term imaging of living small biological specimens and microorganisms lack efficiency due to computationally expensive algorithms, and field of view limitations in optical microscopes. This paper describes a new algorithm that allows for real time tracking of multiple 1mm nematodes called Caenorhabditis elegans with a novel optical microscope design called the Adaptive Scanning Optical Microscope (ASOM), developed at the Center for Automation Technologies and Systems (CATS). Based on the real time experimentation, an improved algorithm to track multiple worms in the presence of entanglements is generated. The stages of this development start with an enhanced digital motion controller for the ASOM high speed scanning mirror to suppress undesired vibrations that limit the system capacity to track multiple organisms. The second phase is the integration of the ASOM apparatus, the high speed motion control, and a base tracking algorithm, all which allows for rapid image acquisition to track multiple C. elegans in real time. The base algorithm was developed at CATS and has been proven to track a single C. elegans in real time. Results demonstrating the efficacy of the complete system are presented. Lastly, an enhanced tracking algorithm is described that shows improved accuracy and robustness in tracking worms even when they become entangled. Taking into account the unique ASOM design, individual segments of the worm are tracked throughout an image sequence, and a mosaic pattern covering the entire worm is subsequently created. The algorithm takes advantage of geometric and dynamic knowledge of the C. elegans such as size, and movement patterns. The enhanced algorithm is tested on previously recorded footage. Simulated tracking experiments also illustrate the effectiveness of the enhanced algorithm and are presented.

All-optical wavelength conversion using a regrowth-free monolithically integrated Sagnac interferometer (2003)

All-optical wavelength conversion at 10 Gb/s is demonstrated using a regrowth-free monolithically integrated Sagnac interferometer based on asymmetric twin waveguide technology. A single semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) offset from the center of the loop and integrated with the waveguide, acts as the nonlinear element in the interferometer. The device demonstrated uniform performance over a 30 nm (1530 nm-1560 nm) wide optical window. Results of theoretical simulations performed to explain the wavelength converted pulse shape are also presented.
Laser Ablation Surface Preparation of Ti-6A1-4V for Adhesive Bonding (2012)

Adhesive bonding offers many advantages over mechanical fastening, but requires certification before it can be incorporated in primary structures for commercial aviation without disbond-arrestment features or redundant load paths. Surface preparation is widely recognized as the key step to producing robust and predictable bonds. Laser ablation imparts both topographical and chemical changes to a surface which can lead to increased bond durability. A laser based process provides an alternative to chemical-dip, manual abrasion and grit blast treatments which are expensive, hazardous, polluting, and less precise. This report documents preliminary testing of a surface preparation technique using laser ablation as a replacement for the chemical etch and abrasive processes currently applied to Ti-6Al-4V alloy adherends. Failure mode, surface roughness, and chemical makeup were analyzed using fluorescence enhanced visualization, microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. Single lap shear tests were conducted on bonded and aged specimens to observe bond strength retention and failure mode. Some promising results showed increasing strength and durability of lap shear specimens as laser ablation coverage area and beam intensity increased. Chemical analyses showed trends for surface chemical species which correlated with improved bond strength and durability. Combined, these results suggest that laser ablation is a viable process for inclusion with or/and replacement of one or more currently used titanium surface treatments. On-going work will focus on additional mechanical tests to further demonstrate improved bond durability.
Modeling and simulating practices, a work method for work systems design (2002)

Work systems involve people engaging in activities over time-not just with each other, but also with machines, tools, documents, and other artifacts. These activities often produce goods, services, or-as is the case in the work system described in this article-scientific data. Work systems and work practice evolve slowly over time. The integration and use of technology, the distribution and collocation of people, organizational roles and procedures, and the facilities where the work occurs largely determine this evolution.
Leukemia surfaceome analysis reveals new disease-associated features (2013)

A better description of the leukemia cell surface proteome (surfaceome) is a prerequisite for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Insights into the complexity of the surfaceome have been limited by the lack of suitable methodologies. We combined a leukemia xenograft model with the discovery-driven chemoproteomic Cell Surface Capture technology to explore the B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) surfaceome; 713 cell surface proteins, including 181 CD proteins, were detected through combined analysis of 19 BCP-ALL cases. Diagnostic immunophenotypes were recapitulated in each case, and subtype specific markers were detected. To identify new leukemia-associated markers, we filtered the surfaceome data set against gene expression information from sorted, normal hematopoietic cells. Nine candidate markers (CD18, CD63, CD31, CD97, CD102, CD157, CD217, CD305, and CD317) were validated by flow cytometry in patient samples at diagnosis and during chemotherapy. CD97, CD157, CD63, and CD305 accounted for the most informative differences between normal and malignant cells. The ALL surfaceome constitutes a valuable resource to assist the functional exploration of surface markers in normal and malignant lymphopoiesis. This unbiased approach will also contribute to the development of strategies that rely on complex information for multidimensional flow cytometry data analysis to improve its diagnostic applications.

Protein detection in blood with single-molecule imaging (2021)

Abstract The ability to identify and characterize individual biomarker protein molecules in patient blood samples could enable diagnosis of diseases at an earlier stage, when treatment is typically more effective. Single-molecule imaging offers a promising approach to accomplish this goal. However, thus far single-molecule imaging methods have only been used to monitor protein molecules in solutions or cell lysates, and have not been translated into the clinical arena. Furthermore, the detection limit of these methods has been confined to the picomolar (10 −12 M) range. In many diseases, the circulating concentrations of biomarker proteins fall several orders of magnitude below this range. Here we describe Single-Molecule Augmented Capture (SMAC), a single-molecule imaging technique to visualize, quantify, and characterize individual protein molecules of interest down to the subfemtomolar (&lt;10 −15 M) range, even in complex biologic fluids. We demonstrate SMAC in a wide variety of applications with human blood samples, including the analysis of disease-associated secreted proteins, membrane proteins, and rare intracellular proteins. Using ovarian cancer as a model, a lethal malignancy in which high-grade disease is driven almost universally by alterations in the TP53 gene and frequently only diagnosed at a late, incurable stage, we found that mutant pattern p53 proteins are released into the blood in patients at an early stage in disease progression. SMAC opens the door to the application of single-molecule imaging in non-invasive disease profiling and allows for the analysis of circulating mutant proteins as a new class of highly specific disease biomarkers. The SMAC platform can be adapted to multiplex or high-throughput formats to characterize heterogeneous biochemical and structural features of circulating proteins-of-interest. One Sentence Summary A single-molecule imaging approach detects individual disease-specific protein molecules, including mutant intracellular proteins, in blood samples.
Communication Architecture for a P2P-Enhanced Virtual Environment Client in a Web Browser (2014)

In this paper, communication architecture for a P2P-enhanced virtual environment (VE) client in a web browser is proposed. The communication architecture relies on recent and ongoing standardization efforts as well as novel research work in defining the building blocks that are required for implementing adaptive and scalable solutions for VEs. In addition, potential paths for future research are provided by identifying open research questions that are crucial in solving the technical challenges hindering the more wide-spread adoption of VEs. Special emphasis is on mobile devices of which capabilities for presenting 3D graphics have evolved fast during the last years.
Mutational Analysis of Prostate-Specific Antigen Defines the Intrinsic Proteolytic Activity of the proPSA Zymogen (2016)

The system described herein will prove useful for varied applications. ProPSA is partially functional with relatively high activity compared to the mature enzyme. In demonstrating the zymogen's intrinsic activity, we suggest that the proPSA in prostate cancer patient serum is not inert. This may have implications for our understanding of the disease.

Characterization of IL-4 and IL-13 signals dependent on the human IL-13 receptor α chain 1: redundancy of requirement of tyrosine residue for STAT3 activation (2000)

IL-4 and IL-13 are pleiotropic cytokines whose biological activities overlap with each other. IL-13 receptor alpha chain 1 (IL-13R alpha 1) is necessary for binding to IL-13, and the heterodimer composed of IL-13R alpha 1 and IL-4R alpha chain transduces IL-13 and IL-4 signals; however, the functional mapping of the intracellular domain of IL-13R alpha 1 is not fully understood. In this study, we constructed wild and mutated types of human IL-13R alpha 1, and analyzed IL-4 and IL-13 signals using an IL-13R alpha 1-transfected human B cell line. Expression of IL-13R alpha 1 evoked STAT3 activation by IL-4 and IL-13, and in stimulated human B cells, on which IL-13R alpha 1 was highly expressed, IL-4 and IL-13 induced STAT3 activation. Replacement of the two tyrosine residues completely abolished STAT3 activation, although replacing either tyrosine residue alone retained it. Furthermore, we found that the Box1 region and the C-terminal tail of IL-13R alpha 1 were critical for binding to Tyk2, and activation of Jak1, Tyk2, the insulin receptor substrate-1 and STAT6 respectively. These results suggest that STAT3 activation is involved with IL-4 and IL-13 signals in human B cells along with the activation of STAT6, and that there is a unique sequence in IL-13R alpha 1 to activate STAT3.
Active Noise Control with Virtual Sensing Technology for Headrest (2018)

This paper presents using a 1×2×2 active noise control (ANC) system with virtual sensing technology on headrests. Based on the feedforward structure and the filtered-x least mean square (FXLMS) algorithm, the proposed system cancels broadband noise without put an error sensor at desired location. Real time processing experiments show that the 1×2×2 feedforward ANC system with integration of virtual sensing technique achieves satisfactory performance for noise reduction. The zone of quiet (ZoQ) is measured to assure system performance.

In this section, the plan of action is a design pattern specifically employed to engender an in-depth consideration of how an industrial process is being performed and how it might be redesigned to benefit from industrial inkjet printing. Applications to security printing, additive manufacturing, marketing, and several associated verticals are provided.

We report a new method of high-contrast imaging of unstained and transparent objects at ~1000 times higher frame rates than conventional methods. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate enhanced image-contrast in 2D imaging of a transmission grating.
Resource Allocation for UAV Relay-Assisted IoT Communication Networks (2020)

This work studies unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relay-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) communication networks in which a UAV is deployed as an aerial base station (BS) to collect time-constrained data from IoT devices and transfer information to a ground gateway (GW). In this context, we jointly optimize the allocated bandwidth, transmission power, as well as the UAV trajectory to maximize the total system throughput while satisfying the user’s latency requirement and the UAV’s limited storage capacity. The formulated problem is strongly non-convex which is very challenging to solve optimally. Towards an appealing solution, we first introduce new variables to convert the original problem into a computationally tractable form, and then develop an iterative algorithm for its solution by leveraging the inner approximation method. Numerical results are given to show significant performance improvement over benchmark schemes.
Improved color stability in white phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes using charge confining structure without interlayer (2007)

Color stability of white organic light-emitting diodes was improved by using a charge confining device structure, which can confine charges at the center of the emitting layer. A red phosphorescent emitting layer was sandwiched between blue phosphorescent emitting layers and there was little change of color coordinate from 100to10000cd∕m2.
