Statistical analysis of co-channel interference in wireless communications systems (2001)

Summary Co-channel interference is recognized as one of the major factors that limits the capacity and link quality of a wireless communications system. An appropriate understanding of the statistical behavior of the co-channel interference is therefore required when analyzing and designing techniques that mitigate its undesired effects. The total co-channel interference in a wireless communications system is usually modeled as the sum of lognormally distributed signals, and is generally assumed to be itself lognormally distributed. Based on this assumption, several methods for estimating the moments of the resulting lognormal distribution have been proposed. The accuracy of these methods has been studied in previous works, under the assumption of having all summand signals (individual interference signals) identically distributed. Such an assumption rarely holds in practical cases of emerging wireless communications systems, where co-channel interference may stem from far-away macrocells and nearby transmitters, causing the interference signals to have different moments. In this paper we present an analysis of the accuracy of two popular methods for computing the moments of a sum of lognormal random variables, namely Wilkinson’s method and Schwartz and Yeh’s method, for the general case when the summands have different mean values and standard deviations in decibel units. We show that Schwartz and Yeh’s method provides better accuracy than Wilkinson’s method and is virtually invariant with the difference of the mean values and standard deviations of the summands.

Substrate Effects in Graphene‐Based Electric Double‐Layer Capacitors: The Pivotal Interplays between Ions and Solvents (2017)

Abstract Graphene has been considered as a promising active material for electric double‐layer capacitors (EDLCs), primarily owing to its extraordinary monolayer properties, whereas the interfacial behaviors are conspicuously impacted by underlying substrates. In this work, substrate effects on the interfacial wettability, EDL structure, and capacitive behavior of graphene‐based EDLCs are delineated with numerical simulation. Unlike previous studies, a partial wetting transparency of topmost graphene is recognized for hydrophilic supports. In particular, a virtually identical capacitance is demonstrated for graphene with various supports, albeit the substantially different EDL structures stemmed from substrate effects. The achieved invariant capacitance is prominently attributed to the counterbalancing correlations between ions and proximal solvents, going beyond traditional views of modulating capacitance preferentially through ion structural evolutions. Specifically, the suppressed permittivity of apparently ordered water dipoles (i. e. detrimental solvent effects) attenuates the beneficial ionic influences (i. e. reinforced population and closer approach) on shielding the external electric fields. The as‐obtained findings demonstrate the paramount importance of the substrate in mediating interfacial behaviors within electrified EDLC systems and highlight that exploiting the pivotal interplay between ions and solvents could be a novel avenue to further manipulate electrochemical performances.

The amino-acid mutational spectrum of human genetic disease (2003)

The overall disease spectrum mainly reflects the mutability of the genetic code. We corroborate earlier results that the probability of a nonsynonymous mutation causing a genetic disease increases monotonically with an increase in the degree of evolutionary conservation of the mutation site and a decrease in the solvent-accessibility of the site; opposite trends are observed for non-disease polymorphisms. We estimate that the rate of nonsynonymous mutations with a negative impact on human health is less than one per diploid genome per generation.
Community Detection Using Restrained Random-walk Similarity (2019)

In this paper, we propose a restrained random-walk similarity method for detecting the community structures of graphs. The basic premise of our method is that the starting vertices of finite-length random walks are judged to be in the same community if the walkers pass similar sets of vertices. This idea is based on our consideration that a random walker tends to move in the community including the walker's starting vertex for some time after starting the walk. Therefore, the sets of vertices passed by random walkers starting from vertices in the same community must be similar. The idea is reinforced with two conditions. First, we exclude abnormal random walks. Random walks that depart from each vertex are executed many times, and vertices that are rarely passed by the walkers are excluded from the set of vertices that the walkers may pass. Second, we forcibly restrain random walks to an appropriate length. In our method, a random walk is terminated when the walker repeatedly visits vertices that they have already passed. Experiments on real-world networks demonstrate that our method outperforms previous techniques in terms of accuracy.
Fast approximate correlation for massive time-series data (2010)

We consider the problem of computing all-pair correlations in a warehouse containing a large number (e.g., tens of thousands) of time-series (or, signals). The problem arises in automatic discovery of patterns and anomalies in data intensive applications such as data center management, environmental monitoring, and scientific experiments. However, with existing techniques, solving the problem for a large stream warehouse is extremely expensive, due to the problem's inherent quadratic I/O and CPU complexities.
Optimization for Inter-VMs communication on KVM with para-virtualized I/O model (2011)

This paper presents a para-virtualized network model to optimize inter-VMs communication performance, which is designed as a shared-memory-based channel crossing barriers to reduce data copies in virtualization systems. The implementation of kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) with para-virtualized I/O device emulation can simplify I/O operation and reduce traps which incur switches between root and non-root modes in KVM. It provides an efficient I/O path and this communication channel is transparent to guest applications while the front-end driver has a standard interface for kernel. This method can achieve performance nearly at inter-processes communication level. The test results on prototype show that the throughput and latency of inter-VMs communication are improved.

Investigation of Cell Culturing on High-Aspect-Ratio, Three-Dimensional Silicon Microstructures (2011)

In this paper, we show that vertical, high-aspect-ratio 1-D photonic crystals (PhCs), consisting of periodic arrays of 3-μm-thick silicon walls separated by 5-μm-wide gaps with depth of 50 μ m (U-grooves), fabricated by electrochemical micromachining, can be combined with mesenchymal cells directly grown into the gaps. Silicon micromachined dice incorporating side-by-side regions with 2- and 3-D structures, namely, flat silicon, shallow (1-2 μm deep) V-grooves, and high-aspect-ratio U-grooves were used as microincubators for culturing SW613-B3, HeLa, SW480, and MRC-5V1 cell lines. Fluorescence microscopy images, obtained after cell fixation, highlight that all the tested cell lines, characterized by different morphologies, are able to grow and proliferate on 2-D microstructures as well as on the “extreme” environment of the PhC structure. More important, SW480 and MRC-5V1 cell lines exhibit the peculiar ability to penetrate into the PhC structure, extending their body deeply in the narrow gaps between adjacent silicon walls, and to grow attached to the vertical surfaces of such 3-D microstructures. This last result represents a first significant step toward the realization of a new class of cell-based biosensors, exploiting cells as bioreceptors and high-aspect-ratio PhCs as transducers, for label-free optical detection of cellular activities involving changes in cell morphology and/or adhesion.
SOME TOPICS ON THE DEREGULATION OF THE POWER INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES (1992)

This is a student report prepared for EE635, Economic Operation and Control of Interconnected Power Systems, for the Spring, 1992 semester at Purdue University. The assigned topic to the class was to discuss and describe some aspects of the "deregulation" of the United States power industry. The first chapter by Charles Thompson deals with the wheeling and transmission losses due to power exchange. This topic has been a main bottleneck for accountants and engineers in fully realizing advantages in a deregulated power environment. Perhaps the core of deregulation, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), is discussed and described by Patrick Lyons in Chapter 11. A description of the 1978 act, its amendments, and a commentary on the act is presented. The third and fourth chapters deal with demand side management (DMS). Chapter I11 by Ramanujam Ramabhadran focuses on the industrial sector and Chapter N by Kevin Karagory moves to the residential and commercial sectors. The last chapter deals with one small element of control of power flow in the transmission network. This is the use of high voltage DC systems for power flow control. The chapter describes HVDC systems in general and their control possibilities. Mr. Paul Ruby, the author of the chapter, is working in the solid-state area. For this reason, some special emphasis is made on devices in this chapter. Although this report is an incomplete sampling of topics on consequences of PURPA and "deregulation," it is meant to be an introduction to the topic and a brief but representative sampling of topics in this complex area.
Experiments to Study the Propagation of Picosecond Sound Pulses in Water (2011)

We report on a picosecond ultrasonics study of nanostructures using high-frequency ultrasound in water. A sound pulse is generated when an ultra short laser pulse is absorbed in a transducer structure. The sound then propagates across a thin layer of water and is reflected from the surface of the sample being examined. The efficiency of optoacoustic detection of the reflected sound is enhanced through the use of a resonant optical cavity. We report on experiments in which sound is reflected from patterned nanostructures. In these experiments we are able to study the propagation of sound down channels of width as small as 35 nm.
COVE-1: A Phase 2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety and the Optimal Regimen of VP-102, a Proprietary Drug–Device Product Containing Topical Cantharidin (0.7% w/v) Under Occlusion for the Treatment of Common Warts (2021)

VP-102 showed efficacy in complete clearance of common warts from baseline to day 84, as well as at follow-up visits. Due to the higher percentage of patients exhibiting complete clearance in Cohort 2, the treatment regimen of Cohort 2 will be pursued in future studies. TEAEs were expected due to the pharmacodynamic action of cantharidin, a vesicant. Clinical Trials ID: NCT03487549.
Ectopic Secretion of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor as a Cause of Cushing’s Syndrome (1984)

Corticotropin-releasing factor, a hypophyseo-tropic hormone that stimulates adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion, has recently been isolated, characterized, and synthesized in the sheep and rat. We report on a patient with metastatic carcinoma of the prostate presenting with anterior and posterior pituitary hormone deficiency together with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. At postmortem examination, large areas of the median eminence and pituitary stalk were replaced by tumor, but the corticotrophs were markedly hyperplastic. Immunostaining of tumor cells was positive for corticotropin-releasing factor and was negative for ACTH and a wide range of other hormones. Radioimmunoassay and bioassays showed that tumor extracts and further purified fractions were active in corticotropin-releasing factor, and the tumor material coeluted with corticotropin-releasing factor on high-pressure liquid chromatography. These studies demonstrate that ectopic secretion of corticotropin-releasing factor is a cause of Cushing's syndrome in human beings. The features of this syndrome include hypercortisolism, pituitary corticotroph hyperplasia, elevation of circulating ACTH levels, and failure to suppress the pituitary-adrenal axis with exogenous glucocorticoids.
Interconnect channel characteristics favoring double-edge pulsewidth modulation (2011)

M-ary pulsewidth modulation (M-PWM) and double-edge pulsewidth modulation (DPWM) are compared to non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation in bandwidth-limited channels. DPWM features spectral characteristics that concentrate energy at lower frequencies compared to NRZ for a given data rate. Here, channel characteristics are studied that favor DPWM transmission. Each modulation format is compared at 10 Gb/s over two different electrical channels to study the signal integrity with respect to a fixed data rate and fixed minimum pulsewidth.
A pseudo-three-dimensional finite element analysis of non-uniform multiconductor transmission lines (2002)

A two-dimensional finite element analysis is used with the distributed transmission lines model to analyze general non-uniform microwave transmission structures. An automated meshing scheme is employed to reduce the solution of the three-dimensional problem to one of solving a small number of two dimensional lines. The approach is briefly outlined and some representative result are presented. Results are compared to well established models to validate the method and are given for different structures to illustrate its versatility.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Balanced optimization of 1.31 ?m tunnel-junction VCSELs (2004)

A hybrid approach that combines the advantages of GaAs mirrors and InP active layers in InP/GaAs wafer bonded 1.31 /spl mu/m VCSELs is described. This novel device concept features intra-cavity ring contacts, five strain-compensated AlGaInAs quantum wells, and an AlInAs/InP tunnel junction in order to reduce absorption by p-doped layers. The tunnel junction is literally confined forming an aperture for current injection and wave guiding. A self-consistent VCSEL simulation software is employed in order to analyze and optimize the internal device physics.
Idle speed control: an old problem in a new engine design (1999)

The idle speed control problem of a spark ignited engine equipped with camless valvetrain is considered. The camless valvetrain allows control of the individual cylinder valves and can be used to achieve unthrottled operation, and consequently, improve dramatically fuel economy. We formulate the speed control problem for this engine and show that it exhibits unstable open loop behavior with a significant delay in the feedback loop. The instability is intrinsic to the unthrottled operation and specific to the camless actuation used to achieve the unthrottled operation. The delay is caused by the discrete combustion process and the actuator/sensor interface. We demonstrate the inherent system limitations associated with the unstable dynamics and the delay and provide insight on the structural (plant) changes that can alleviate these limitations. Finally, a stabilizing controller is designed and tested on a crankangle-based simulation model.
Fully crosslinked poly(styrene‐co‐divinylbenzene) microspheres by precipitation polymerization and their superior thermal properties (2004)

Abstract Fully crosslinked, stable poly(styrene‐ co ‐divinylbenzene) microspheres, which are composed of various concentrations of divilylbenzene from 5 to 75 mol % based on styrene monomer, were prepared without a significant particle coagulation by the precipitation polymerization. The number‐average particle diameter ranged from 3.5 to 2.8 μm and decreased with an increasing concentration of divinylbenzene in monomer. In addition, the coefficient of variation of the microspheres was slightly reduced with the increasing concentration of divinylbenzene. The circularity and the measured specific surface area indicated that lesser particles are coagulated because of the improved stability of individual particles at a high divinylbenzene concentration and that the resulting particles have a smooth surface without micropores. The glass‐transition temperature was not observed for all microspheres formed from the range of divinylbenzene concentrations. In addition, the onset of the thermal‐degradation temperature was increased from 339.8 to 376.9 °C upon higher contents of divinylbenzene. On the basis of the DSC and thermogravimetric data, the polymer microspheres prepared by the precipitation polymerization possessed a fully crosslinked structure and highly enhanced thermal stability. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stimulus-Evoked Intrinsic Optical Signals in the Retina: Pharmacologic Dissection Reveals Outer Retinal Origins (2009)

The findings demonstrate that stimulus-evoked intrinsic signals persist after injection of APB, PDA, and TTX, drugs that work to suppress inner and postreceptoral retinal circuitry. The persistence of the intrinsic signals after administration of these drugs indicates that the dominant intrinsic signals are likely to arise from the outer retina.
Optimization of radiation therapy in prostatic cancer. (1988)

The results of a study on the optimization of external irradiation of prostatic cancer are discussed. The study was performed with the aid of an automatic water phantom, an automatic densitometer, and a computerized treatment planning system using an anthropometric phantom Alderson. The following parameters were studied: Dose gradient, the size of areas of selected isodoses, and the shape of the 90% isodose. At present, we consider that the twosector biaxial arc technique characterized by an arc angle of 120 degrees, a distance of the arc axes of 3 cm, employing a 20 MeV X-ray of a linear accelerator is the optimal technique for target irradiation of carcinomas of the prostate.
