Learning Material-Aware Local Descriptors for 3D Shapes (2018)

Material understanding is critical for design, geometric modeling, and analysis of functional objects. We enable material-aware 3D shape analysis by employing a projective convolutional neural network architecture to learn material-aware descriptors from view-based representations of 3D points for point-wise material classification or material-aware retrieval. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of shapes in 3D repositories are labeled with physical materials, posing a challenge for learning methods. To address this challenge, we crowdsource a dataset of 3080 3D shapes with part-wise material labels. We focus on furniture models which exhibit interesting structure and material variability. In addition, we also contribute a high-quality expert-labeled benchmark of 115 shapes from Herman-Miller and IKEA for evaluation. We further apply a mesh-aware conditional random field, which incorporates rotational and reflective symmetries, to smooth our local material predictions across neighboring surface patches. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our learned descriptors for automatic texturing, material-aware retrieval, and physical simulation.
Generation of localized strain in a thin film piezoelectric to control individual magnetoelectric heterostructures (2015)

Experimental results demonstrate the ability of a surface electrode pattern to produce sufficient in-plane strain in a PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PZT) thin film clamped by a Si substrate to control magnetism in a 1000 nm diameter Ni ring. The electrode pattern and the Ni ring/PZT thin film heterostructure were designed using a finite element based micromagnetics code. The magnetoelectric heterostructures were fabricated on the PZT film using e-beam lithography and characterized using magnetic force microscopy. Application of voltage to the electrodes moved one of the “onion” state domain walls. This method enables the development of complex architectures incorporating strain-mediated multiferroic devices.
Real-time birefringence measurement with digital holographic microscopy (2007)

Digital holographic microscopes using two orthogonal polarized reference waves provides real-time polariscopes. Birefringence induced by internal stress is imaged in optical fibers and in fused silica substrates, where lines are written with low-energy femtosecond pulses.
Current-voltage raw data, molecular weight and morphology measurement data, and spectra for thiophene polymer characterization and thermoelectric measurements (2017)

This dataset is backup information for the publication whose abstract is reproduced here. Four p-type polymers were synthesized by modifying poly(bisdodecylquaterthiophene) (PQT12) to increase oxidizability by p-dopants. A sulfur atom is inserted between the thiophene rings and dodecyl chains, and/or 3,4-ethylenedioxy groups are appended to thiophene rings of PQT12. Doped with NOBF4, PQTS12 (with sulfur in side chains) shows conductivity of 350 S cm-1, the highest reported nonionic conductivity among films made from dopant-polymer solutions. Doped with tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), PDTDE12 (with 3,4-ethylenedioxy groups on thiophene rings) shows conductivity of 140 S cm-1. The converse combinations of polymer and dopant, and formulations using a polymer with both the sulfur and ethylenedioxy modifications showed lower conductivities. The conductivities are stable in air without extrinsic ion contributions associated with PEDOT:PSS and that cannot support sustained current or thermoelectric voltage. Efficient charge transfer, tighter π-π stacking and strong intermolecular coupling are responsible for the conductivity. Values of nontransient Seebeck coefficient and conductivity agree with empirical modeling for materials with these levels of pure hole conductivity; the power factor compares favorably with prior p-type polymers made by the alternative process of immersion of polymer films into dopant solutions. Models and conductivities point to significant mobility increases induced by dopants, on the order of 1-5 cm2 V-1 s-1, supported by field-effect transistor studies of slightly doped samples. The thermal conductivities were in the range of 0.2 ~ 0.5 W m-1 K-1, typical for conductive polymers. The results point to further enhancements that could be obtained by increasing doped polymer mobilities.
Orally active cephalosporins and penicillins (1980)

A number of orally active cephalosporins and penicillins with interesting biological activity were synthesized. Two of these, 7-[[[3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenyl]glycyl]amino]deacetoxycephalosporanic acid and 7-[[2-(2,3-dihydro-5-benzofuranyl)glycyl]amino]deacetoxycephalosporanic acid were considerably more active than cephalexin both in vitro and in vivo against staphylococcal and streptococcal infections.
Calculating van der Waals-London dispersion spectra and Hamaker coefficients of carbon nanotubes in water fromab initiooptical properties (2007)

The van der Waals-London dispersion (vdW-Ld) spectra are calculated for the [9,3,m] metallic and [6,5,s] semiconducting single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), graphite, and graphene (a single carbon sheet of the graphite structure) using uniaxial optical properties determined from ab initio band structure calculations. The [9,3,m], exhibiting metallic optical properties in the axial direction versus semiconducting optical properties in the radial direction, highlights the strong anisotropic nature of metallic SWCNTs. Availability of both efficient ab initio local density band structure codes and sufficient computational power has allowed us to calculate the imaginary parts of the frequency dependent dielectric spectra, which are then easily converted to the required vdW-Ld spectra for Hamaker coefficient calculations. The resulting Hamaker coefficients, calculated from the Lifshitz quantum electrodynamic theory, show that neither graphite nor graphene are accurate model materials for estimating the Hamaker coefficients of SWCNTs. Additionally, Hamaker coefficients were calculated between pure radial-radial, radial-axial, and axial-axial components of both SWCNTs. Analysis of these coefficients reveals that the vdW-Ld interactions will depend on both chirality and the particular orientation between neighboring SWCNTs. The minimization of energy, with respect to orientation, predicts that vdW-Ld alignment forces will arise as a result of the anisotropic optical properties of SWCNTs.

Interconnect processes and reliability for RF technology (2011)

High performance radio frequency (RF) technology is required for many communications applications, such as mobile phones. The interconnects for RF circuits are different from those for digital circuits in a number of ways, including thick wiring layers (>; 3 μm), extensive use of passive devices such as thin film resistors, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors, and inductors, and use of through-silicon vias (TSVs) for ground planes. As a result, there are a number of unique reliability challenges for these devices, including controlling stress in thick wiring layers and TSVs, and ensuring reliability of MIM capacitor dielectrics. In this paper, we will describe process optimization and reliability evaluation for interconnects in RF circuits.

Selective lesioning of the cat pre‐Bötzinger complex in vivo eliminates breathing but not gasping (1998)

1. To examine the functional importance of the pre-Bötzinger complex for breathing we micro-injected, under in vivo conditions, the calcium channel blocker omega-conotoxin GVIA and the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin (TTX) into the ventrolateral medulla of adult cats, while monitoring respiratory rhythmic motor output in the phrenic nerve. 2. omega-Conotoxin GVIA caused a highly localized synaptic ablation by blocking presynaptic N-type calcium channels. When injecting 5-60 fmol omega-conotoxin GVIA unilaterally, the amplitude of phrenic nerve activity decreased bilaterally and sometimes disappeared, indicating central apnoea. These effects were reversible and could only be induced in a very localized area of the pre-Botzinger complex. By injecting omega-conotoxin GVIA several times during an experiment and analysing the areas where injections affected respiratory activity, it was possible to map exactly the anatomical extent of the area critical for respiratory rhythm generation. 3. Following the precise localization of the pre-Bötzinger complex with omega-conotoxin GVIA, we injected TTX to induce an irreversible inactivation of this region. TTX injected unilaterally into the pre-Bötzinger complex irreversibly reduced the amplitude of phrenic nerve activity. Bilateral TTX injections eliminated respiratory rhythmic activity, causing a persistent central apnoea. 4. After bilateral lesioning of the pre-Bötzinger complex, it was still possible to induce gasping during hypoxia or asphyxia, indicating that respiration and gasping are generated by two different neuronal networks. 5. We propose that omega-conotoxin GVIA as employed in this study to investigate the functional role of the pre-Bötzinger complex can also be used as a general pharmacological approach to map other neuronal networks. We call this the 'omega-conotoxin GVIA tracing' method.
Patching for Diplopia Contraindicated in Patients with Brain Injury? (2016)

Because more peripheral parts of the visual field increasingly project to the contralateral superior colliculus with the temporal crescent being entirely contralateral, avoiding patching of the temporal crescent was advised, and in most cases can be achieved by taping off the spectacle lens and avoiding an elastic eye patch.
Transmission Policies For Bursty Traffic Sources on Wireless Channels (2001)

In this paper, we present near-optimal transmission policies for bursty traffic sources on noisy wireless channels. We propose to minimize the packet outage probability subject to average power and average delay constraints over a class of deterministic policies. The proposed class of policies are a combination of a leaky-bucket variant, power control and variable rate coding. A lower bound for the achievable performance of the proposed policies is computed, and the near-optimality of the proposed methods is shown for the AWGN and Gilbert-Elliot fading channels. We show that even for a Gaussian channel, the optimal policy involves variable rate coding and power control due to traffic burstiness.
Lineage tracing reveals fate bias and transcriptional memory in human B cells (2023)

We combined single-cell transcriptomics and lineage tracing to understand fate choice in human B cells. Using the antibody sequences of B cells, we tracked clones during in vitro differentiation. Clonal analysis revealed a subset of IgM+ B cells which were more proliferative than other B-cell types. Whereas the population of B cells adopted diverse states during differentiation, clones had a restricted set of fates available to them; there were two times more single-fate clones than expected given population-level cell-type diversity. This implicated a molecular memory of initial cell states that was propagated through differentiation. We then identified the genes which had strongest coherence within clones. These genes significantly overlapped known B-cell fate determination programs, suggesting the genes which determine cell identity are most robustly controlled on a clonal level. Persistent clonal identities were also observed in human plasma cells from bone marrow, indicating that these transcriptional programs maintain long-term cell identities in vivo. Thus, we show how cell-intrinsic fate bias influences differentiation outcomes in vitro and in vivo.
Chest-worn Transmitarray Lens for Monitoring Heart Rate Variability with a Remote Self-Injection-Locked Doppler Radar (2023)

This paper presents a transmitarray lens that can be worn on the chest to focus the radar beam towards a specific area of the heart for monitoring heart rate variability (HRV). The used Doppler radar is based on self-injection-locking (SIL) technology and was placed remotely from the monitored subject. In the experiment, the transmitarray lens was set up to concentrate the incident wave penetrating into the chest on the heart’s tricuspid valve; thus, the accuracy of monitoring HRV can be greatly improved. The comparison of the interbeat interval (IBI) data between the proposed radar measurement and the conventional electrocardiogram (ECG) shows excellent agreement.

This facility is designed to further strengthen our already strong catalysis research capabilities and thus to address these National challenges. Thus, state-of-the art instrumentation and experimentation facility was commissioned to add far greater breadth, depth, and throughput to our ability to invent, test, and understand catalysts and catalytic processes, hence to improve them via knowledge-based design and evaluation approaches.
Material platforms for optical metasurfaces (2018)

Abstract Optical metasurfaces are judicously engineered electromagnetic interfaces that can control and manipulate many of light’s quintessential properties, such as amplitude, phase, and polarization. These artificial surfaces are composed of subwavelength arrays of optical antennas that experience resonant light‐matter interaction with incoming electromagnetic radiation. Their ability to arbitrarily engineer optical interactions has generated considerable excitement and interest in recent years and is a promising methodology for miniaturizing optical components for applications in optical communication systems, imaging, sensing, and optical manipulation. However, development of optical metasurfaces requires progress and solutions to inherent challenges, namely large losses often associated with the resonant structures; large‐scale, complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor‐compatible nanofabrication techniques; and incorporation of active control elements. Furthermore, practical metasurface devices require robust operation in high‐temperature environments, caustic chemicals, and intense electromagnetic fields. Although these challenges are substantial, optical metasurfaces remain in their infancy, and novel material platforms that offer resilient, low‐loss, and tunable metasurface designs are driving new and promising routes for overcoming these hurdles. In this review, we discuss the different material platforms in the literature for various applications of metasurfaces, including refractory plasmonic materials, epitaxial noble metal, silicon, graphene, phase change materials, and metal oxides. We identify the key advantages of each material platform and review the breakthrough devices that were made possible with each material. Finally, we provide an outlook for emerging metasurface devices and the new material platforms that are enabling such devices.
Coagulation Patterns During Deheparinization with Immobilized Polycation (1994)

Reversal of systemic heparinization with protamine is problematic during perfusion with heparin surface coated devices because protamine reacts with both circulating and surface bound heparin. Hence, the development of a deheparinization device allowing for ex vivo heparin absorption by the means of an immobilized polycation is of prime interest for a number of indications. To assess the coagulation patterns during ex vivo deheparinization, a heparin surface coated venovenous pump loop including a plasma separator with immobilized polycation was studied in a bovine model (n = 6, body weight 71 +/- 5 kg). After systemic heparinization with 300 IU of heparin/kg body weight, spontaneous evolution (control) of coagulation parameters was compared to ex vivo deheparinization with a mean pump flow of 500 ml/min. No device failure occurred during the procedures and all plasma separators remained patent. These baseline levels were measured for control versus ex vivo deheparinization: activated coagulation time 158 +/- 6 sec (161 +/- 4 sec: NS), antithrombin III 101 +/- 5% (108 +/- 8%: NS), fibrinopeptide A 3.4 +/- 1.7 ng/ml (4 +/- 1.7 ng/ml: NS). After heparin application mean activated coagulation time was longer than 1000 sec in both groups. Sixty minutes later, the activated coagulation time was 757 +/- 43 sec (184 +/- 5 sec: P < 0.05), antithrombin III was 96 +/- 12% (99 +/- 2%: NS), and fibrinopeptide A was 2.7 +/- 0.7 ng/ml (9.5 +/- 3.5 ng/ml: P < 0.05). It is concluded that ex vivo deheparinization resulted in significant acceleration of activated coagulation time normalization. Fibrinopeptide A production in the group with ex vivo deheparinization appeared to be higher. As antithrombin III levels were close to normal in both groups, allowing for adequate function of circulating as well as surface bound heparin, and the coagulation process was blocked by significant heparin levels in the control group, the difference for FPA may be due to activation of the coagulation process in the surgical field (sternotomy).

Evaluation of Hunter-Harvested White-Tailed Deer for Evidence of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Infection in Alabama (2008)

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is one of the most relevant pathogens affecting today's cattle industries. Although great strides have been made in understanding this virus in cattle, little is known about the role of wildlife in the epidemiology of BVDV. While persistently infected cattle are the most important reservoir, free-ranging ungulates may become infected with BVDV as demonstrated by serosurveys and experimental infections. Therefore, free-ranging wildlife may maintain BVDV as the result of an independent cycle and may serve as a reservoir for the virus. Systematic studies on prevalence of BVDV-specific antibodies or frequency of persistent BVDV infection in North American wildlife are sparse, and no information is available from the southeastern United States. The objective of this study was to evaluate blood and skin samples from hunter-harvested white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) for evidence of BVDV infection. Virus-neutralizing antibodies were detected in 2 of 165 serum samples. Skin biopsy immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on samples from 406 deer using a BVDV-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) (15c5), and BVDV antigen was detected in one sample. A similar IHC staining pattern was obtained using a second BVDV MAb (3.12F1). Viral antigen distribution in the skin sample of this deer resembled that found in persistently infected cattle and in a previously described persistently infected white-tailed deer; thus, the deer was presumed to be persistently infected. Evidence of BVDV infection in free-ranging white-tailed deer should encourage further systematic investigation of the prevalence of BVDV in wildlife.
Using Matlab and Simulink in a SystemC Verification Environment (2005)

Functional verification is a major bottleneck in today’s design flow. Expensive and time consuming, the process of verifying complex designs is actually under serious reconsideration. We propose a new verification framework based on SystemC verification standard that uses MATLAB and Simulink to accelerate testbench development. Our major contributions are first a cosimulation interface between SystemC and MATLAB and Simulink, and next to enable functional verification of multi-abstraction levels designs. This paper presents the verification framework proposed and the cosimulation interface. An example shows how we used this verification framework in one of our project.
Electrochemical sensors for volatile nitrogen compounds in air. Final report to J&amp;N Associates, Inc. from Illinois Institute of Technology, Re: Department of Energy Phase I STTR Project DOE No. DE-FG02-99ER86090 (2000)

Air pollutant gases such as nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitrous acid, and peroxyacetyl nitrate are commonly encountered in urban atmospheres. They constitute a nuisance to some, and a positive danger to others with such respiratory conditions as asthma and emphysema. It is known that exposure to these gases is a function of microenvironment, but monitoring of microenvironments is presently too uneconomical to be used except in rare cases, such as ''sick buildings''. Gas sensors that are small, sensitive, selective, and inexpensive are needed to make such monitoring practical. Many sensor types have apparently reached their technological development limit, but porous-electrode amperometric gas sensors have not been thoroughly explored for low-concentration applications. We have explored amperometric gas sensors of several types for lower detection limits to a series of nitrogen gases. Evidence gathered in this study indicates that greater sensitivity will be achieved by reducing the noise level of the working electrode, rather than increasing the output signal.
