Sink or float? Characterization of shell-stabilized bulk nanobubbles using a resonant mass measurement technique (2018)

Nano-sized shell-stabilized gas bubbles have applications in various fields ranging from environmental science to biomedical engineering. A resonant mass measurement (RMM) technique is demonstrated here as a new and only method capable of simultaneously measuring the size and concentration of buoyant and non-buoyant particles in a nanobubble sample used as a next-generation ultrasound contrast agent.
3D integration of CMOS and MEMS using mechanically flexible interconnects (MFI) and through silicon vias (TSV) (2010)

A 3D integration scheme for integrating a state-of-the-art CMOS IC with an arbitrary MEMS/sensor chip is reported. The integration scheme consists of a CMOS IC and a MEMS chip stacked on top of each other with the electrical interconnections between the chips being made using mechanically flexible interconnects (MFIs). In order to expose the MEMS/sensor device to the environment for sensing, the back side of the MEMS chip is assembled to the top side of the CMOS IC, with through silicon vias (TSVs) used to route the electrical signals from the MEMS devices on top side of the chip to the back side of the chip. Mechanically flexible interconnects are wafer-level batch fabricated interconnect structures that have high compliances in both in-plane and out-of-plane directions. The tapered interconnect design and curved beam profile allows the beam to use the 100% of the 20μm stand-off height without being damaged or undergoing a significant yielding. MFIs can be assembled using a flip-chip bonder and a key to successful bonding is the polymer ring technology that confines the solder to the tip of the MFIs during the reflow process. The second essential component in this integration scheme is the Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology that can be fabricated in wafers that already has sensitive MEMS devices (i.e., for post-MEMS TSV fabrication); the fabrication process does not require the use of a Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) process on the device side of the wafer, and the use of “mesh” membrane allows efficient seed layer formation in relatively thick MEMS wafers. In this paper, the design, the fabrication, the mechanical simulation, mechanical characterization and assembly results for MFIs are reported. Fabrication result for the TSV technology is also reported.
A wearable autonomous heart rate sensor based on piezoelectric-charge-gated thin-film transistor for continuous multi-point monitoring (2017)

Autonomous wearable biomedical sensors enable continuous human body vital signs monitoring with features such as being conformable, mobile, cost-effective and self-powered. In this work, we report on an autonomous and multi-positional sensor capable of heart rate and blood pressure monitoring. The device concept is based on a piezoelectric-charge-gated thin-film transistor (PCGTFT) where a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric sandwich structure is incorporated with an amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) dual-gate TFT (DGTFT). An analytical model and preliminary experimental results will be presented along with a demonstration of a proof-of-concept sensing system for continuous multi-point heart rate monitoring.
Fluorescent imaging of Cl - in Amphiuma red blood cells: How the nuclear exclusion of Cl - affects the plasma membrane potential (2005)

In this work, we test the idea that most, if not all, cellular Cl- of Amphiuma red blood cells is contained in the cytoplasm. If true, this could resolve the difference between the measured plasma membrane potential (Em) and that expected from the Donnan equilibrium distribution of Cl-. We studied the changes in the fluorescence intensity of the Cl- -sensitive dye, MQAE, entrapped in red cells that occurred when intracellular Cl- was exchanged with NO3-. We could thus monitor the distribution of Cl- between the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. We found that essentially all of the cell's Cl- resides in the cytoplasm. Knowing the volume of the cell occupied by the nucleus, we could accordingly correct the measured values of cell Cl-. This resulted in establishing a concordance between the measured values of Em and those calculated from the corrected values of the Cl- ratio, thus explaining the discrepancy. The exclusion of Cl- from the nucleus may result from its unusually high content of "excess" DNA that imposes an imbalance of net negative charge.
SHarPen (2023)

As modern SoC architectures incorporate many complex/heterogeneous intellectual properties (IPs), the protection of security assets has become imperative, and the number of vulnerabilities revealed is rising due to the increased number of attacks. Over the last few years, penetration testing (PT) has become an increasingly effective means of detecting software (SW) vulnerabilities. As of yet, no such technique has been applied to the detection of hardware vulnerabilities. This paper proposes a PT framework, SHarPen, for detecting hardware vulnerabilities, which facilitates the development of a SoC-level security verification framework. SHarPen proposes a formalism for performing gray-box hardware (HW) penetration testing instead of relying on coverage-based testing and provides an automation for mapping hardware vulnerabilities to logical/mathematical cost functions. SHarPen supports both simulation and FPGA-based prototyping, allowing us to automate security testing at different stages of the design process with high capabilities for identifying vulnerabilities in the targeted SoC.
Semi-supervised CLPsych 2016 Shared Task System Submission (2016)

The 2016 CLPsych Shared Task is centered on the automatic triage of posts from a mental health forum, au.reachout.com. In this paper, we describe our method for this shared task. We used four different groups of features. These features are designed to capture stylistic and word patterns, together with psychological insights based on the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) word list. We used a multinomial naive Bayes classifier as our base system. We were able to boost the accuracy of our approach by extending the number of training samples using a semi-supervised approach, labeling some of the unlabeled data and extending the number training samples.
A Politic Theatre: The Drama of David Hare (1996)

This analysis of twenty published texts by David Hare employs definitions from contemporary semiotic literary theory as a means of describing typologies of political drama. By tracing the incorporation of stylistic devices from agitational propaganda (caricature, self-referentiality, the frisson between oral and visual signification) throughout the typologies, the study illustrates how each text subverts audience expectation based on established dramatic genres. The collection of texts is seen as inherently self-referential and politically subversive. At the centre of each typology is a protagonist who functions as a martyr to or parodic emblem of contemporary society. Consistently, the hermeticism of public institutions which represent the political status quo makes them immune from any form of individual protest from the Left or Right. In the satirical anatomy, the emblem of political dissent is coopted by involvement within the institution, or the stage is dominated by a conservative who controls the action. In the demythology, private individuals are seen as incapable of altering the public frame of history; but here private suffering subverts the collective mythology of the historical construct. In the martyrology, the emblem of dissent is associated with a moral virtue which is inimical to contemporary society, the audience's expectation of the triumph of the individual being subverted when he/she is expelled from the onstage world on the grounds of political ideology. It is only in the final typology, the conversion, that a conservative emblem is seen as directly influenced by such martyrdom, and the audience is provided with an actual example of political change. Thus, the study describes how each typology builds on the construction of the previous, and all generate from agitational propaganda.
High‐Speed Ionic Synaptic Memory Based on 2D Titanium Carbide MXene (Adv. Funct. Mater. 12/2022) (2022)

Analog Resistive Memories In article number 2109970, Armantas Melianas, Armin VahidMohammadi, Alberto Salleo, Mahiar Max Hamedi, and co-workers present the world's first electrochemical transistor memory based on 2D materials (MXene). These transistors can be used for neuromorphic computers, where they are a thousand times faster than previous ionic memories and other state-of-the-art technologies like resistive- or phase-change memristors (Image credit: Armin VahidMohammadi).
Conservation of Intracellular Pathogenic Strategy among Distantly Related Cryptococcal Species (2018)

The genus <i>Cryptococcus</i> includes several species pathogenic for humans. Until recently, the two major pathogenic species were recognized to be <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> and <i>Cryptococcus gattii</i> We compared the interaction of murine macrophages with three <i>C. gattii</i> species complex strains (WM179, R265, and WM161, representing molecular types VGI, VGIIa, and VGIII, respectively) and one <i>C. neoformans</i> species complex strain (H99, molecular type VNI) to ascertain similarities and differences in the yeast intracellular pathogenic strategy. The parameters analyzed included nonlytic exocytosis frequency, phagolysosomal pH, intracellular capsular growth, phagolysosomal membrane permeabilization, and macrophage transcriptional response, assessed using time-lapse microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and gene expression microarray analysis. The most striking result was that the intracellular pathogenic strategies of <i>C. neoformans</i> and <i>C. gattii</i> species complex strains were qualitatively similar, despite the species having separated an estimated 100 million years ago. Macrophages exhibited a leaky phagolysosomal membrane phenotype and nonlytic exocytosis when infected with either <i>C. gattii</i> or <i>C. neoformans</i> Conservation of the intracellular strategy among species that separated long ago suggests that it is ancient and possibly maintained by similar selection pressures through eons.

Three-dimensional image reconstruction in object space (1988)

An analytic three-dimensional image-reconstruction algorithm that can utilize the cross-plane gamma rays detected by a wide solid-angle PET (positron-emission tomography) system is presented. Unlike current analytic algorithms, it does not use Fourier transform methods, although mathematical equivalence to Fourier transform methods is proved. The results of implementing the algorithm are briefly discussed. An extension of the algorithm to utilize all measured cross-plane gamma rays is discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Quaternary Ammonium Polyethyleneimine: Antibacterial Activity (2010)

Quaternary ammonium polyethyleneimine‐ (QA‐PEI‐) based nanoparticles were synthesized using two synthetic methods, reductive amination and N‐alkylation. According to the first method, QA‐PEI nanoparticles were synthesized by cross‐linking with glutaraldehyde followed by reductive amination with octanal and further N‐methylation with methyl iodide. The second method is based on crosslinking with dialkyl halide followed by N‐alkylation with octyl halide and further N‐methylation with methyl iodide. QA‐PEI nanoparticles completely inhibited bacterial growth (&gt;10 6 bacteria), including both Gram‐positive, that is, Staphylococcus aureus at 80 μ g/mL, and Gram‐negative, that is, Escherichia coli at 320 μ g/mL. Activity analysis revealed that the degree of alkylation and N‐methylation of the QA‐PEI nanoparticles plays a significant role in antibacterial activity of the reagent. The most potent compound was octyl alkylated QA‐PEI alkylated at 1 : 1 mole ratio (primary amine of PEI monomer units/alkylating agent). Also, cytotoxicity studies on MAT‐LyLu and MBT cell lines were performed with QA‐PEI nanoparticles. These findings confirm previous reports that polycations bearing quaternary ammonium moieties inhibit bacterial growth in vitro and have a potential use as additives in medical devices which need antibacterial properties.
Monolithic integration of CMOS and nanophotonic devices for massively parallel optical interconnects in supercomputers (2011)

High-performance computing (HPC) systems capable of delivering Exaflops performance are envisioned to become a reality by the end of this decade. In order to provide the enormous communication bandwidth that is necessary, hundreds of millions of optical interconnects will have to be deployed to connect together racks, modules and chips. To achieve such massive level of parallelism for HPC systems, monolithic integration of deeply scaled silicon optical circuits into the front-end of standard CMOS process have been demonstrated as a promising technology.
Deinking of HP Digital Commercial Prints: Effect of Chemicals and Their Loadings on Deinkability (2009)

Here we show that the effect of chemicals and their specific loadings play a dominant role on the outcome of a deinking process. More specifically, we demonstrate that good deinkability of HP digital commercial prints (i.e. liquid-electrophotographic (LEP), dry-EP and inkjet (IJ) prints) can be achieved with our highly efficient neutral deinking chemistry (coded HPE6S4), which is based on readily available non-proprietary chemicals. We found a direct correlation of the chemical effects to the ink-particle speck contamination and its particle-size distribution. Our excellent results compared favorably to that obtained with the traditional deinking chemistry. Our approach can be readily scalable for adaption in the paper recycling mills.
Biomimetic Tactile Sensors Based on Nanomaterials (2020)

Tactile sensor technology has been researched extensively in response to the increasing demand for robotic and wearable healthcare systems. Studies on tactile sensory systems have primarily focused on achieving two goals: (1) developing technologies with high sensing abilities that mimic the biological functions and characteristics of the sensory systems of human skin and (2) satisfying the requirements of wearable device applications by fabricating mechanically flexible devices with low-power data analysis and processing abilities. In this Perspective, we present recent advances in artificial tactile sensory systems, which are based on biomimetic technologies that exhibit functional features of biological systems including mechanoreceptors and human skin sensory neurons for human-machine interfaces. We also discuss the opportunities, current challenges, potential solutions, and future investigative directions pertaining to this field.
A Review on Fish Lipid: Composition and Changes During Cooking Methods (2011)

Fish lipids are known to be beneficial for human health since they are rich in eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This benefit can be affected by some processing or cooking methods. The effects of different cooking methods on lipid content and fatty acid composition of different fish species have been previously studied. In this article, the fish lipid characteristics and their changes during different cooking methods were reviewed. The fat content and fatty acid composition of fish vary according to the species, season, and environmental conditions. The fish lipid characteristics also change during different cooking processes. Frying generally gives higher changes in the fish lipid composition than other cooking methods. For example, frying results in higher losses of DHA and EPA (compared to other cooking methods). Further, the lipid changes occurring during frying depend on the fat content of the fish, the frying oil composition, and the type of frying technology.
Initial Characterization of Micafungin Pulmonary Delivery via Two Different Nebulizers and Multivariate Data Analysis of Aerosol Mass Distribution Profiles (2020)

Pharmaceutical aerosols have been targeted to the lungs for the treatment of asthma and pulmonary infectious diseases successfully. Micafungin (Astellas Pharma US, Deerfield, IL, USA) has been shown to be an effective antifungal agent when administrated intravenously. Pulmonary delivery of micafungin has not previously been reported. In the present pilot study, we characterize the performance of two nebulizers and their potential for delivering micafungin to the lungs as well as the use of multivariate data analysis for mass distribution profile comparison. The concentration of micafungin sodium increased by 21% when delivered by the Acorn II nebulizer and by 20% when delivered by the LC Plus nebulizer, respectively, from the first to the second sampling period. The Acorn II nebulizer delivered a fine particle fraction FPF(5.8) (%<5.8 microm) of 92.5 +/- 0.8 and FPF(3.3) (%<3.3 microm) of 82.3 +/- 2.1 during the first sampling period. For the LC Plus nebulizer, FPF(5.8) was 92.3 +/- 0.1 and FPF(3.3) was 67.0 +/- 0.7 during the first sampling period. The mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD) increased from 1.67 +/- 0.05 to 1.77 +/- 0.04 mum (Acorn II nebulizer) and from 2.09 +/- 0.01 to 2.20 +/- 0.01 microm (Pari LC Plus nebulizer) from the first to the second sampling periods. These changes in MMAD were statistically significant by paired t test. Multivariate data analysis showed that this could be explained systematically by greater drug deposition on stages with larger cutoff sizes and reduced drug deposition on stages with smaller cutoff sizes rather than multimodal deposition or other anomalies in size distribution.

Thermal analysis for the assessment of antioxidant content in polyethylene (1990)

Dynamic differential thermal analysis (DTA) data on a series of polyethylene (PE) samples containing known contents of two primary (phenol and amine) and two secondary (thioester and phosphite) antioxidants are presented. It is shown that the dynamic method, in which the temperature of the start of an exothermal oxidation reaction is measured during a constant heating rate experiment performed in an oxygen atmosphere, can be used as an analytical tool by which the antioxidant content can be determined. A relationship between the oxidation temperature and the concentration of antioxidant is derived on the assumption that the antioxidant consumption follows zero-order kinetics and that the rate constant may be defined in accordance with the Arrhenius equation. This equation fits the presented experimental data for samples with intimately mixed antioxidant.
Computer‐assisted elucidation of structures of natural products (1992)

Abstract An historical survey of the first computer programs capable of handling spectroscopic data and of transforming them into possible molecular structures is exemplified by some applications. Technological improvements of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy now allow the direct collection of connectivity relationships between atoms, and the integration of this new kind of spectroscopic data by “intelligent” computer programs is demonstrated by the resolution of practical problems for which human expertise would not be straightforward.
Rapid Access to Novel 1,2,3-Triazolo-Heterocyclic Scaffolds via Tandem Knoevenagel Condensation/Azide–Alkyne 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction in One Pot (2014)

This unique atom economical transformation engages four reactive centers (aldehyde, alkyne, active methylene, and azide) under metal-free catalysis.
A NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF NEAR WALL HEAT TRANSFER (1994)

The objective of this work is to analyze high temperature, high heat flux hydrogen flows under a variety of boundary conditions, in particular wall heat flux boundary conditions. Both laminar and turbulent flows are investigated. An enthalpy balancing scheme is formulated and implemented allowing accurate, fast converging solutions of turbulent flows with high wall heat flux boundary conditions. The solutions obtained are assessed along with several correlations proposed in the literature.
