Safety and Feasibility of Laparoscopic Major Hepatectomy after Portal Vein Embolization (2021)

Background and Aim: The operative safety and feasibility of laparoscopic major hepatectomy in patients after portal vein embolization is unknown, prompting our investigation of its safety and feasibility in patients at our center.

Methods: Fifteen patients (male=13, female=2, with median age of 58 years), underwent laparoscopic major hepatectomy after portal vein embolization. Ten patients had hepatocellular carcinoma, two had combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, and 2 colorectal liver metastases, and 1 cholangiocarcinoma.

Results: All patients were Child-Turcotte-Pugh score, 10 had liver fibrosis, and 10 had viral hepatitis. The median interval between portal vein embolization and laparoscopic major hepatectomy was 21 days. The median operative time was 324 min, estimated blood loss was 100 mL. White (2.5 mm) and blue (3.5 mm) cartridges were used in one patient each and Tri-Staple tan (23 mm) in 11 patients, and two patients required a combination of tan and purple cartridges (34 mm). There was one biliary leak and stricture after using a white cartridge, one transient hepatic insufficiency, and three minor complications. One patient died from a stroke on postoperative day 37. The mortality rate was 6.6% (1/15), and the morbidity rate was 33%
(5/15).

Conclusions: Laparoscopic major hepatectomy after portal vein embolization seems relatively safe and feasible. We advise against using a white cartridge and recommend a thicker cartridge for a more secure staple line.

Multi-tone carrier technique for signal recovery from collisions in UHF RFID with multiple acknowledgments in a slot (2013)

In passive Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) systems, tags do not have their own power source and they receive their operating energy from continuous modulated RF carrier transmitted by the reader. The tag while receiving this carrier randomly selects a slot and sends back its RN16 using backscatter modulation for purpose of its identification. The efficiency of the existing UHF RFID systems is limited, as only response from a single tag in a slot can be decoded successfully. If multiple tags select the same slot collision happens, information of physical layer is discarded and retransmission is executed. In this work, a multi-tone carrier wave is exploited to make the collided tag signals decodable. In addition, a novel method to acknowledge the multiple tag signals in a single slot is proposed. The system performance in terms of expected throughput is significantly improved with the use of both multi-tone carrier and the multiple acknowledgements technique at the same time.

Memristor Photonics (2021)

We present memristors heterogeneously integrated on a silicon photonics plat- form. Memristor microring modulators and lasers integrated on silicon have been demon- strated and can be integrated together to create photonic neuromorphic circuits and opto-electronic memory modules.
Processing Development and Surface Preparation Review. Preparation of Layered Perovskite Self-Organized Quantum Well by Dual Source Vapor Deposition. (1996)

By simultaneous evaporation of lead iodide (PbI2) and organic ammonium iodide (RNH3I), highly oriented thin films of perovskite quantum-well (RNH3) 2PbI4 consisting of alternating layers of inorganic semiconductor layers of PbI4 and organic dielectric layers of RNH3 were grown on fused quartz substrates at about 10-4 Pa. The vacuumdeposited layered perovskite films exhibited strong exciton absorption and sharp exciton emission even at room temperature owing to their low-dimensional semiconductor nature. Further, X-ray diffraction measurement revealed that the inorganic and organic layers were oriented parallel to the film plane in the case of these vacuum-deposited films.In addition, the simple preparation method involving the dual-source vapor deposition was found to be applicable to other layered perovskites and related cubic perovskites such as (RNH3) 2PbBr4, (RNH3) 2SnI4, (CH3NH3) PbI3 and (CH3NH3) PbBr3.
X-band relativistic backward wave oscillator with two-spiral corrugated Bragg reflector (2012)

Backward wave oscillators are typically known to radiate in the TM <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">01</sub> mode. A two-spiral corrugated Bragg reflector has been used downstream of the cathode in an X-band relativistic backward wave oscillator (RBWO) to radiate a TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</sub> mode at the output. Simple analytical formulas were used to design the basic parameters of the Bragg reflector, which were later optimized numerically since there is no exact closed form solution for the electromagnetic fields within a periodic waveguide structure or cavity. The fully electromagnetic, fully relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) code MAGIC was used to simulate the problem. The RBWO was driven by a voltage pulse that has a half sine wave-like shape, 460 kV amplitude, and FWHM duration of 12 ns. A uniform static magnetic field of 1.9 T was applied throughout the simulation volume. With these parameters a microwave power of 330 MW at a frequency of 9.9 GHz in a clean TE <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</sub> mode pattern was detected at the output.

Design of a <formula formulatype="inline"><tex Notation="TeX">$\hbox{MgB}_{2}$</tex></formula> Beam Transport Channel for a Strong-Focusing Cyclotron (2013)

A superconducting strong-focusing cyclotron is being developed for high current applications. Alternating-gradient focusing is provided by ~ 6 T/m superconducting beam transport channels which lie in the sectors along the arced beam trajectory of each orbit of the cyclotron. The ~ 1 T sector dipoles, corrector dipoles, and Panofsky type quadrupoles utilize MgB <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> superconductor operating around 15-20 K. The operating temperature provides a valuable margin for a cost-effective cryogenic design, and large thermal stability in the event of occasional heat loads from intercepted beam or other sources. The main dipole windings are designed with sufficiently large curvature so that they can be fabricated using react-and-wind procedure; the quadrupole windings require small-radius end bends and so must be fabricated using wind-and-react procedure. Initial magnetic modeling on the end field region is presented.
Micellization Behaviour, DNA Binding, Antimicrobial, and Cytotoxicity Studies of Surfactant–Cobalt(iii) Complexes Containing Di- and Tetramine Ligands (2009)

A new class of surfactant–cobalt(iii) complexes, cis-[Co(en)2(C11H23NH2)Cl](ClO4)2 (1), (en = ethylenediamine) and cis-[Co(trien)(C11H23NH2)Cl](ClO4)2 (2) (trien = triethylenetetramine) have been synthesized and characterized by UV/Vis, IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic methods and elemental and metal analysis. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these surfactant–cobalt(iii) complexes in aqueous solution were obtained from conductance measurements. The specific conductivity data (at 298, 308, 318, and 328 K) served for the evaluation of the temperature-dependent CMC and the thermodynamics of micellization (?Gm0, ?Hm0, and ?Sm0). Absorption spectroscopy, emission spectroscopy, and viscosity measurements have been used to investigate the binding of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA). The intrinsic binding constants (Kb) of complexes 1 and 2 were determined as 1.70 × 104 M–1 and 2.91 × 104 M–1, respectively, which suggests that complex 2 binds more strongly to CT-DNA than complex 1. These complexes were screened for their antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities against certain human pathogenic microorganisms and cervical cancer cells. The complexes showed moderate antibacterial and antifungal activities against certain selected microorganisms. The cytotoxic property of the complexes was tested on human cervical cancer cells, SiHa, adopting the 3-(4,5-di-methylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and specific staining techniques. The complexes affected the viability of the cells significantly and the cell death was through apoptosis as seen in the changes in the nuclear morphology and cytoplasmic features.
The Tri-POCUS Approach for Assessment of Volume Status in Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19 (2020)

Background: The volume status of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is dynamic and can range from severe hypovolemia (on initial presentation) to overt hypervolemia (after fluid resuscitation) due to its distinct clinical features such as cytokine storm While lung point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is established as an invaluable bedside tool in assessment of volume status of the critically-ill, its use in this setting is limited by expanding lung infiltrates and a tendency for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) Methods: We developed a combinational bedside ultrasound program to overcome the limitations of the individual methods of POCUS and provide a more precise evaluation of the volume status in critically ill patients with COVID-19 The Tri-POCUS approach represents concurrent bedside assessment of the lungs, heart (focused cardiac ultrasound [FoCUS]), and the venous system (blood flow pattern in the hepatic, portal and intra-renal veins) (Figure-1) Results: In patients with COVID-19, distinguishing ARDS from cardiogenic pulmonary edema by lung POCUS alone is challenging due to several overlapping features FoCUS allows for both static measures of preload as well as dynamic assessment (e g volume responsiveness to passive leg raise maneuver) Evaluation of blood flow pattern in the hepatic, portal and intra-renal veins not only can gauge fluid status but it also allows for direct assessment of the congestive state in end organs hence monitoring response to therapy Conclusions: The Tri-POCUS program is an extension of our previously published work on focused renal POCUS curriculum The components of this combinational approach have been selected based on their ability to cover the limitations of each individual method and provide a synergistic effect, especially in clinical settings such as COVID-19 where there is a tendency for rapidly changing volume status confounded by distracting features (e g expanding lung lesions)
Abstract SY13-02: In vivo cancer theranostics (2012)

Abstract A theranostic agent enables diagnosis and treatment concurrently. Although a relatively new concept to pharmaceutics, theranostics have been used in nuclear medicine for over 50 years - dating back to the iodine-131 thyroid scan. Today we most frequently associate theranostics with nanotechnology since nanomedicines tend to present an appropriate platform for complex, multifunctional capability such as simultaneous or sequential imaging and therapy. Unlike low molecular weight agents, nanomedicines can carry sufficient information to enable local control of imaging and therapeutic species. But not all theranostics are nanomedicines - they may also be multifunctional genes or suitably functionalized small molecules or serve as biomarkers themselves. Introduction to theranostics with examples of existing and emerging theranostic agents as well as their clinical potential and application will be discussed.

Cascaded Constructive Wave Amplification (2010)

A high-frequency amplifier technique is introduced based on traveling-wave amplification. As opposed to distributing amplifiers to support traveling waves, the proposed technique amplifies forward traveling waves while attenuating backward traveling waves through a cascade of stages that share a single transmission line. The behavior of the cascaded constructive wave amplifier is analyzed in terms of gain, bandwidth, stability, and noise figure. The amplifier is demonstrated in a 0.12-¿ m SiGe BiCMOS process with 12 cascaded amplification stages and achieves more than 26 dB of gain at 99 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 13 GHz. The input and output return loss is better than 15 and 12 dB, respectively. The noise figure of the amplifier is 10.8 dB at 85 GHz. The output-referred <i xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">P</i> 1 dB is -0.1 dBm and the amplifier consumes 113 mW, including current biasing.

Transitioning Cr2+ and Fe2+ Doped Zn Chalcogenide Laser Technology to Commercial Products – Lessons Learned (2016)

We describe the challenges of transitioning Cr and Fe-doped Zn-chalcogenide technology to real-world products enabling access to 1.9-6 μm range with up to 70% efficiency, 140W of CW output power, and short-pulse (&lt;30 fs) multi-Watt (7W) oscillation.
Electromagnetic-Wave Tunneling Through Negative-Permittivity Media with High Magnetic Fields (2005)

We demonstrate that electromagnetic waves can transmit with unit transmittance through a slab of negative-permittivity media sandwiched between two identical slabs with high permittivity, although each single slab is nearly opaque. This type of transparency is accompanied by high magnetic fields, and is robust against incidence angles. Microwave experiments, in excellent agreement with finite-difference-time-domain simulations, are performed to successfully realize this idea.
A Search-based Network Architecture for Mobile Devices (2009)

This paper presents the Haggle network architecture and experimental measurements of its performance in a realistic environment. Haggle provides a search-based data dissemination framework for mobile opportunistic communication environments, making it easy to share content directly between intermittently connected mobile devices. Haggle's novel approach is based on its identification of search as a first class operation for data-centric applications. We show how search can be used for resolution (mapping data to interested receivers) and prioritization of sending and receiving data during encounters between nodes. Haggle provides underlying functionality for neighbor discovery, resource management and resolution - thus removing the need to implement such features in applications. Haggle has been implemented for several platforms. This paper presents experimental results, the most interesting of which demonstrates the live operation of Haggle on mobile phones in an office environment.
Voltage-controlled magnetic tunnel junction based MRAM for replacing high density DRAM circuits corresponding to 2X nm generation (2017)

This work deeply investigated the feasibility of VC-MTJ based main memory and clarified its requirements to VC-MTJ for the first time. In this investigation, “high-speed read” for DRAM is as feasible as VC-MTJ for cache memory.
High-Performance O-Band Quantum-Dot Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers Directly Grown on a CMOS Compatible Silicon Substrate (2019)

High gain and high saturation output power silicon-based semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are essential elements in future large-scale silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to compensate for the excess power penalties that are introduced by large numbers of passive components. We present here, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, an O-band quantum-dot (QD) SOA that is directly grown on a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor compatible on-axis (001) silicon substrate. The QD-SOA demonstrates a > 100 nm gain bandwidth with an on-chip gain larger than 20 dB at 20 °C. A gain maxima of 39 dB occurs at the ground state peak wavelength with a 23 dBm saturation output power. P-modulation doping in the dot spacer layers is important to achieve higher gains (>20 dB) at high temperature (70 °C) with a 21 nm bandwidth. A fiber-to-fiber noise figure as low as 6.1 dB and a wall plug efficiency as high as 19.7% are also shown. The performance shows that the Si-based QD-SOAs can be important for Si PICs and employed under uncooled scenarios.
Control Systems for Computing Systems: Making computers efficient with modular, coordinated, and robust control (2020)

Computing is taking a central role in advancing science, technology, and society, facilitated by increasingly capable systems. Computers are expected to perform a variety of tasks, including life-critical functions, while the resources they require (such as storage and energy) are becoming increasingly limited. To meet expectations, computers use control algorithms that monitor the requirements of the applications they run and reconfigure themselves in response.
Elastography Validity Criteria Definition Using Numerical Simulations and MR Acquisitions on a Low-Cost Structured Phantom (2021)

MR Elastography is a novel technique enabling the quantification of mechanical properties in tissue with MRI. It relies on a three-step process that includes the generation of a mechanical vibration, motion capture using dedicated MR sequences, and data processing involving inversion algorithms. If not properly tuned to the targeted application, each of those steps may impact the final outcome, potentially causing diagnostic errors and thus eventually treatment mismanagement. Different approaches exist that account for acquisition or reconstruction errors, but simple tools and metrics for quality control shared by both developers and end-users are still missing. In this context, our goal is to provide an easily deployable workflow that uses generic validity criteria to assess the performance of a given MRE protocol, leveraging numerical simulations with an accessible experimental setup. Numerical simulations are used to help both determining sets of relevant acquisition parameters and assessing the data processing's robustness. Simple validity criteria were defined, and the overall pipeline was tested in a custom-built, structured phantom made of silicone-based material. The latter have the advantage of being inexpensive, easy to handle, facilitate the fabrication of complex structures which geometry resembles the anatomical structures of interest, and are longitudinally stable. In this work, we successfully tested and evaluated the overall performances of our entire MR Elastography pipeline using easy-to-implement and accessible tools that could ultimately translate in MRE standardized and cost-effective procedures.
Compressing depth maps using multiscale recurrent pattern image coding (2010)

The use of the multidimensional multiscale parser algorithm for depth maps coding is proposed. The compression method uses a block-based approach, where efficient prediction combined with pattern matching is applied to the encoding of greyscale images, which convey the disparity or depth information of a 3D image. Simulation results show gains of up to 10 dB when compared with state-of-the-art methods, such as JPEG2000 and H.264/AVC.
