Simulating the mechanical response of electron-beam projection lithography masks (2000)

This article describes the results of distortion simulations for Motorola’s 200 mm electron-beam projection lithography (EPL) mask due to the fabrication process, pattern transfer, and mounting. Finite element models have been created as predictive tools, which incorporate the orthotropic elastic material properties of single crystal silicon. Both membrane-flow and wafer-flow processes have been simulated, identifying the significant advantage of the former. Modeling results for parametric studies of the fabrication process and the effects of mounting under gravitational loading are presented. The predictive studies illustrate that the metal layer (Cr/TaSiN) stress most strongly influences the image placement error. It is also shown that common mounting techniques for e-beam writing and exposure are essential for minimizing pattern placement errors.
Relationship Marketing Stage of Development in Romanian Banking Industry (2016)

The paper emphasizes the relationship marketing stage of development within the banking industry in Romania, by identifying the extent to which business objectives and marketing strategies of companies are customer oriented. In order to achieve this aim a qualitative marketing research was conducted, by applying in-depth semi-structured interviews. The target group of the research consisted of nine banking companies, selected according to the market share, while the research participants were employees responsible for marketing, sales and customer relationship management activities. Due to respondents' expertise, during the interviews could be applied mixed research methods in the process of data collection and subsequently, in data analysis. According to research objectives and results, although there is an increase in the importance of customer orientation within banking policies, the integration of relationship marketing optics at the institutional management level is facing a number of deficiencies, especially with regard to the concerns about employees' satisfaction and loyalty or to the development of relationships with other stakeholders. The degree of satisfaction with the adoption of customer relationship management technology is relatively high among banks, being appreciated mainly those banking performance achieved in terms of retention rate, cross-selling and customer satisfaction. Most banks use the gross customer retention index as the main indicator of customer portfolio stability, although retention objectives tend to be set differently depending on customer value. Internal marketing strategies are developed around staff training processes, while performance evaluation criteria are rather specific to a transactional marketing approach. Results of the research provide clues on the relationship marketing processes and activities that need to be improved, in order to strengthen the current customer base and the competitive position in the banking industry.
The post-progression survival of patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian clear cell carcinoma: results from a randomized phase III study in JGOG3017/GCIG (2020)

Our findings revealed that platinum sensitivity and primary stage are clinical factors that significantly affect PPS in patients with recurrent or persistent CCC as well as other histologic subtypes of ovarian cancer. PPS in patients with recurrent CCC should establish the basis for future clinical trials in this population.
Photoinduced spin-polarized current in InSb-based structures (2009)

We demonstrate the observation of spin-polarized photocurrent in InSb films grown on GaAs and InP substrates and InSb quantum wells where a nonequilibrium spin population has been achieved by using circularly polarized radiation. The characteristics of our observations indicated that the circular photo galvanic effect could be responsible for the generation of the photocurrents.
Pushing the envelope of modern methods for bundle adjustment (2010)

In this paper, we present results and experiments with several methods for bundle adjustment, producing the fastest bundle adjuster ever published. The fastest methods work with the well known reduced camera system and handle the block-sparse pattern arising in the reduced camera system in a natural way. Adapting to the naturally arising block-sparsity allows the use of BLAS3, efficient memory handling, fast variable ordering, and customized sparse solving all at the same time. We present two methods, one using exact minimum degree ordering and block-based LDL solving, and one using block-based preconditioned conjugate gradient, both on the reduced camera system. We show experimentally that the adaptation to the natural block sparsity allows both these methods to perform better than previous ones. Further speed improvements are achieved by the novel use of embedded point iterations. The embedded point iterations take place inside each camera update step, yielding a higher cost decrease from each camera update step. This is especially true for points projecting far out on the flatter region of the robustifier.

Environmental and Health Impacts of Successive Mineral Fertilization in Egypt (2012)

Abstract Excessive amounts of mineral fertilizers are unnecessarily applied to agricultural soils in Egypt to increase crop yield. The current study aims at assessing the impacts of fertilization with different mineral fertilizers for different cultivation periods on the accumulation of heavy metals in soils and plants grown thereon. In addition, human risks resulted due to the exposure to these metal ions through ingestion, and dermal routes were evaluated. Soil and plant samples were collected from several locations in El‐Behira Governorate, Egypt and their heavy metal contents were measured. The result indicated that there is a continuous accumulation of heavy metals in the soils and the plants grown thereon. Calculation of the hazard index (HI) revealed that humans, especially children, have a potential health risk for both Pb and Cd, which have levels greater than the safe level (1). Finally, the obtained results showed that the continuous application of mineral fertilizers containing high levels of heavy metals pose a potential health threat.
SUN-133 Glycemic Control in T1D Subjects before and after Pancreas Transplantation (2019)

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by significant glycemic variability (GV) with current insulin based therapeutic options. Pancreas transplantation (PT) is performed in certain individuals with T1D with and without and end-stage renal disease. To date, GV before and after PT has been examined to a limited extent and the optimal times to assess glucose control after PT has not been evaluated. We investigated GV using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) prior to PT and 3-6 weeks after PT in 6 patients with T1D. Participants wore CGM for about 4-7 days. Glucose control was measured for the same 6 patients with T1D before PT (age 36.8 ± 9.8 years, F/M 3/3, HbA1c 8.2 ± 0.9%, BMI 26.8 ± 4.8 kg/m2 and creatinine 3 ± 2.3 mg/dl) and 3-6 weeks after PT (HbA1c 6.8 ± 1.3%, BMI 25.5 ± 5 kg/m2 and creatinine 1.5 ± 0.7 mg/dl). The CGM data were analyzed using measures of glucose control as recommended by the recent consensus report. Measurements include standard measures such as mean ± SD and state of the art CGM related statistics such as % time spent in various glucose ranges and indices of hypo and hyperglycemia. Mean CGM glucose improved after PT compared to before PT (136.5 ± 27.3 vs 199.5 ± 36.5, P value 0.01). The percentage of time spent within ranges 70-180mg/dl and 70 -140mg/dl after PT was 84.8 ± 13.7% and 61± 27.3% compared to before PT 42.5 ± 15.4% and 21.5 ± 10.1 (P value 0.004 and 0.02 respectively). Significant change was noticed in duration of hyperglycemia as percentage of time spent above 180mg and 250mg/dl were higher prior to PT (55 ± 17.2 and 23.8 ± 17.4% respectively) compared to after PT 14.3 ± 14.1% and 2.2 ± 3% respectively (P value 0.006 and 0.03). Hypoglycemic episodes during CGM were observed in patients before but not after PT. 4 patients had episodes of hypoglycemia <54mg/dl before PT and total percentage of time < 54mg/dl was 0.7 ± 0.8 and < 70mg/dl 2.7 ± 2.7 before PT. Patients after PT showed improvement in hypoglycemia with percentage time spent <70mg/dl 0.7 ± 0.5% (P value 0.1) and no time<54mg/dl (P value 0.1) Similar results were observed when data were analyzed for daytime and nighttime glucose control. However, hypoglycemia was observed more during nighttime (12-6am) than during daytime before PT (3.5 ± 3.2 vs 2.6 ± 6.4) and after PT (2.2 ± 2.6 vs 0.9 ± 1.1). Conclusion: CGM provides a reliable method of monitoring glucose control after pancreas transplantation. Overall glucose control measures were better after PT even with a sample size of 6 subjects. CGM outcomes represent an important objective outcome of glucose control after PT and require inclusion in prospective studies of PT with appropriate times for measurement to be investigated further.
Highly Efficient Green Light‐Emitting Diodes from All‐Inorganic Perovskite Nanocrystals Enabled by a New Electron Transport Layer (2018)

Abstract Adopting proper electron transport layers (ETLs) is essential to high‐performance all‐inorganic perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, the effect of ETLs has not been comprehensively investigated in all‐inorganic nanocrystal PeLEDs, while 2,2′,2′′‐(1,3,5‐benzenetriyl) tris ‐[1‐phenyl‐1H‐benzimidazole] (TPBi) is the most common ETL. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed to enhance the efficiency of nanocrystal PeLEDs. Tris(8‐hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq 3 ) is incorporated into TPBi to form a new ETL TPBi/Alq 3 /TPBi, simultaneously enabling charge balance and confinement. The green PeLED with new ETL exhibits a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 1.43%, current efficiency of 4.69 cd A −1 , and power efficiency of 1.84 lm W −1 , which are 191%, 192%, and 211% higher than those of PeLEDs with conventional ETL TPBi, respectively. Significantly, the EQE is 36‐fold higher than that of PeLED with high electron mobility ETL. Impressively, the full width at half‐maximum of electroluminescence emission is 16 nm, which is the narrowest among CsPbBr 3 PeLEDs. The findings may present a rational strategy to enhance the device engineering of all‐inorganic PeLEDs.
Beat Tracking by Dynamic Programming (2007)

Beat tracking — i.e. deriving from a music audio signal a sequence of beat instants that might correspond to when a human listener would tap his foot — involves satisfying two constraints. On the one hand, the selected instants should generally correspond to moments in the audio where a beat is indicated, for instance by the onset of a note played by one of the instruments. On the other hand, the set of beats should reflect a locally-constant inter-beat-interval, since it is this regular spacing between beat times that defines musical rhythm. These dual constraints map neatly onto the two constraints optimized in dynamic programming, the local match, and the transition cost. We describe a beat tracking system which first estimates a global tempo, uses this tempo to construct a transition cost function, then uses dynamic programming to find the best-scoring set of beat times that reflect the tempo as well as corresponding to moments of high 'onset strength' in a function derived from the audio. This very simple and computationally efficient procedure is shown to perform well on the MIREX-06 beat tracking training data, achieving an average beat accuracy of just under 60% on the development data. We also examine the impact of the assumption of a fixed target tempo, and show that the system is typically able to track tempo changes in a range of ±10% of the target tempo.
Оценка распространенности респираторных симптомови возможности скрининга спирометрии в диагностикехронических легочных заболеваний (2010)

Впервые в одном из центральных регионов России (Рязанская обл.) проведено эпидемиологическое исследование по протоколу Всемирной организации здравоохранения с использованием опросников, прошедших официальную процедуру языковой адаптации. Жители сельской местности, обратившиеся за медицинской помощью (1 505 человек), и лица, выбранные случайным образом в населенных пунктах, включенных в исследование (2 116 человек), заполняли короткий опросник для сбора информации о демографических показателях, факторах риска, респираторных симптомах, диагностированных заболеваниях и сопутствующей патологии. У группы пациентов проводилась спирометрия и оценка качества диагностики и лечения патологии органов дыхания. Факторы риска широко распространены среди сельского населения (курят ~50 % взрослых мужчин). Обнаружена высокая частота респираторных симптомов, особенно в старших возрастных группах, среди курящих и работающих во вредных производственных условиях. Наличие хотя бы 1 хронического респираторного симптома отмечают 41 % опрошенных в общей популяции, нарушение функции внешнего дыхания в мужской популяции достигает 29 %.
Performance Analysis of Enhanced Verification-Based Decoding for Packet-Based LDPC Codes over Binary Symmetric Channel (2011)

In this paper, frame error rate (FER) performance of enhanced verification-based decoding algorithm (EVA) is investigated for packet-based low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over binary symmetric channel (BSC). By taking the false verification into account, a recursive statistical model is proposed to analyze the FER performance based on the packet-level analysis. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model works for various packet sizes and channel parameters of practical interest with different verification constraints.
Performance Analysis of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) Integrated with a Trickling Bed Bioreactor for Biological High-Rate Hydrogen Production (2007)

For the performance investigation of a biohydrogen reactor integrated with a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), mesophilic trickling bed bioreactors (TBRs) filled with hydrophobic materials (HBM) were designed and conducted for hydrogen production under the anaerobic fermentation of sucrose. The bioreactor consisted of the column packed with polymeric cubes and inoculated with heat-treated sludge obtained from an anaerobic digestion tank. A defined medium containing sucrose was fed by the different hydraulic retention time (HRT) and recycle rate. Hydrogen concentrations in the gas phase were constant, averaging 40% of biogas throughout the operation. The hydrogen production rate (HPR) was increased until 10.5 LH2 L−1 h−1 of the bioreactor when influent sucrose concentrations and recycle rates were varied. No methane was detected when the reactor was under a normal operation. The trickling bed bioreactor with hydrophobic materials demonstrates the feasibility of the process to produce hydrogen gas, and PEMFC was operated with the treated biogas from the reactor as a fuel source. A likely application of this reactor technology can be hydrogen gas recovery from the pretreatment of high-carbohydrate-containing wastewaters and the electricity generation using the fuel cell system with employment of the produced biogas.
Drug Delivery to the Eye with a Transdermal Therapeutic System. (2003)

A matrix-type transdermal therapeutic system was developed for treating diseases of the eye where it is difficult for drug molecules to reach with conventional topical instillation. Prednisolone was employed as a model drug. An in vivo study using rats showed that the daily application of the patch maintained a constant plasma concentration of the drug, which was equivalent the therapeutic plasma level following three times daily oral administration (30 mg), for approximately 24 h. Transdermal delivery provided equivalent to or higher bioavailability (drug distribution) to the eyeball of topical administration. Moreover, pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that the present transdermal therapeutic system may be clinically effective as a new treatment for ocular diseases.
Temporal and spatial level of details for dynamic meshes (2001)

Multi-resolution techniques enhance the ability of graphics and visual systems to overcome limitations in time, space and transmission costs. Numerous techniques have been presented which concentrate on creating level of detail models for static meshes. Time-dependent deformable meshes impose even greater difficulties on such systems. In this paper we describe a solution for using level of details for time dependent meshes. Our solution allows for both temporal and spatial level of details to be combined in an efficient manner. By separating low and high frequency temporal information, we gain the ability to create very fast coarse updates in the temporal dimension, which can be adaptively refined for greater details.

Immunoglobulin D amyloidosis: a distinct entity (2011)

IgD monoclonal gammopathies are uncommon. They are seen rarely as a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and are present in 1%-2% of patients with multiple myeloma. In light-chain amyloidosis, IgD monoclonal proteins are found in ap-proximately 1% of patients. When an IgD monoclonal protein is found, amyloidosis is often omitted from the differential diagnosis. In the present study, we reviewed the natural history of IgD-associated amyloidosis among 53 patients seen over 41 years. The distribution of clinical syndromes suggests that these patients have a lower frequency of renal and cardiac involvement. The overall survival of these patients does not appear to be different from that of patients who have light-chain amyloidosis associated with another monoclonal protein.
Preference limits of the visual dynamic range for ultra high quality and aesthetic conveyance (2013)

A subjective study was conducted to investigate the preferred maximum and minimum display luminances in order to determine the dynamic ranges for future displays. Two studies address the diffuse reflective regions, and a third study tested preferences of highlight regions. Preferences, as opposed to detection thresholds, were studied to provide results more directly relevant to the viewing of entertainment or art. Test images were specifically designed to test these limits without the perceptual conflicts that usually occur in these types of studies. For the diffuse range, we found a display with a dynamic range having luminances between 0.1 and 650 cd/m<sup>2</sup> matches the average preferences. However, to satisfy 90% of the population, a dynamic range from 0.005 and ~3,000 cd/m<sup>2</sup> is needed. Since a display should be able to produce values brighter than the diffuse white maximum, as in specular highlights and emissive sources, the highlight study concludes that even the average preferred maximum luminance for highlight reproduction is ~4,000 cd/m<sup>2</sup>.

Performance Assessment of the N-Port Based Wireless Receivers (2017)

In this paper, we present the topologies and the performances of the N-port based wireless receivers. Particularly, a comparison between the four-, five- and six-port based receives is conducted. The calibration procedure that compensates for the non-ideal characteristics of the n-port junction and the non-linearity and memory effects of the power detectors for each receiver has been presented. In an attempt to validate the efficiency of each N-port based receiver, a performance metric, such as the error vector magnitude (EVM) between the complex envelop of the transmitted signal and the recovered baseband one, has been adopted.. An experimental validation of the calibration procedures has revealed the efficiency and the superiority of the six-port based receiver with an EVM as low as 2% EVM for different excitation signals.

In situ genetically targeted chemical assembly of polymers on living neuronal membranes (2022)

Abstract Multicellular biological systems, most notably living neural networks, exhibit highly complex physical organization properties that pose challenges for building cell-specific and biocompatible interfaces. We developed a novel approach to genetically program cells to chemically assemble artificial structures that modify the electrical properties of neurons in situ , opening up the possibility of minimally-invasive cell-specific interfaces with neural circuits in living animals. However, the efficiency and biocompatibility of this approach were challenged by limited membrane targeting of the constructed material. Here, we report a method with significantly improved molecular construct properties, which expresses highly localized enzymes targeted to the plasma membrane of primary neurons with minimal intracellular retention. Polymers synthesized in situ by this approach form dense clusters on the targeted cell membrane, and neurons remain viable after polymerization. This platform can be readily extended to incorporate a broad range of materials onto the surface membranes of specific cells within complex tissues, using chemistry that may further enable the next generation of interfaces with living biological systems.
Radiation stability of an InGaZnO thin-film transistor in heavy ion radiotherapy (2017)

C-axis-aligned crystalline In–Ga–Zn–O (CAAC-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have received a great deal of interest for large-area devices owing to their low off-state leak current characteristics and their structural stability as a result of its crystallinity, compared to conventional amorphous TFTs. Here, we report the radiation effects of CAAC-IGZO TFTs in a C beam irradiation environment, and we discuss prospects for the use of CAAC-IGZO TFTs in heavy-ion radiotherapy. The performance characteristics were investigated by controlling the electrical and size properties in the gate insulator, and the results showed a threshold voltage shift of −1 V and a sub-threshold swing degradation of around 250 mV dec-1 after 130 krad dose irradiation.
