Kinetics and Mechanisms of γ′ Reprecipitation in a Ni-based Superalloy (2016)

The reprecipitation mechanisms and kinetics of γ' particles during cooling from supersolvus and subsolvus temperatures were studied in AD730(TM) Ni-based superalloy using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). The evolution in the morphology and distribution of reprecipitated γ' particles was investigated using Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM). Depending on the cooling rate, γ' particles showed multi or monomodal distribution. The irregularity growth characteristics observed at lower cooling rates were analyzed in the context of Mullins and Sekerka theory, and allowed the determination of a critical size of γ' particles above which morphological instability appears. Precipitation kinetics parameters were determined using a non-isothermal JMA model and DTA data. The Avrami exponent was determined to be in the 1.5-2.3 range, suggesting spherical or irregular growth. A methodology was developed to take into account the temperature dependence of the rate coefficient k(T) in the non-isothermal JMA equation. In that regard, a function for k(T) was developed. Based on the results obtained, reprecipitation kinetics models for low and high cooling rates are proposed to quantify and predict the volume fraction of reprecipitated γ' particles during the cooling process.
41‐1: Invited Paper : “Greener” Quantum‐Dot Enabled LCDs with BT.2020 Color Gamut (2016)

Quantum dots (QDs) have already been shown to achieve &gt;90% BT.2020 color gamut in LCD displays using (QDEF®) Quantum Dot Film technology. In this paper, we report that by further engineering of the quantum dot materials, &gt;90% BT.2020 is possible in a RoHS‐compliant package. This is possible by using a combination of cadmium‐free and low‐cadmium quantum dots.
Resistive Switching Ion-Plug Memory for 32-nm Technology Node and Beyond (2008)

We report a novel resistive switching ion-plug memory (IPM) with a dual-layered structure containing a solid electrolyte layer (supply layer) that has Cu ions and a resistive switching layer (memory layer). By adopting this structure, IPM achieved higher endurance and longer retention time compared to previously reported solid electrolyte memory because excess Cu deposition was prevented. The conductive path of Cu with a 20 nm was observed by a cross sectional transmission electron microscope analysis. Generation/rupture of the path enables local resistance switching at diameters smaller than 32 nm. A set/reset operation that takes 30 ns and an endurance of 109 cycles were presented. IPM is a promising candidate for high-density memory for 32-nm technology node and beyond.
ROADSIDE CONCRETE BARRIERS: WARRANTS AND END TREATMENT. FINAL REPORT (1985)

The primary emphasis of this research was the development of a low-maintenance end treatment to shield the end of a concrete safety shaped barrier. It consists of a series of energy-absorbing rubber cylinders that are reusable after an impact. The cylinders are supported by steel diaphragms, and the thrie-beam fender panels are used for redirection purposes. The design was shown to meet recommended impact performance standards through a series of full-scale crash tests. Further, costs and labor to restore the treatment after most impacts will be considerably less than any other operational end treatment. Guidelines were also developed to identify roadway and traffic conditions where the concrete safety shaped barrier is warranted in lieu of the standard W-beam roadside guardrail.

Early device activation does not influence long-term impedances in a clinically meaningful manner.
Photonic Crystal Nanocavities for Efficient Light Confinement and Emission (2003)

When combined with high index contrast slabs in which light can be efficiently guided, micro-fabricated two-dimensional photonic crystals provide us with the geometries needed to confine and concentrate light into extremely small volumes and to obtain very high field intensities. Fabrication of optical structures has now evolved to a precision which allows us to control light within such etched nanostructures. Sub-wavelength nano-optic cavities can be designed for efficient and flexible control over both emission wavelength and frequency, and nanofabricated optical waveguides can be used for efficient coupling of light between devices. The substantial reduction of the size of optical components leads to their integration in large numbers and the possibility to combine different func-tionalities on a single chip, much in the same way as electronic components have been integrated for improved multi-functionality of microchips. Here we describe the use of microfabricated periodic structures, photonic crystals, to define functional nano-optic cavities for efficient confinement and emission of light, which leads to the desire for miniaturization of optical devices.

Feedback-Driven Radiology Exam Report Retrieval with Semantics (2015)

Clinical documents are vital resources for radiologists to have a better understanding of patient history. The use of clinical documents can complement the often brief reasons for exams that are provided by physicians in order to perform more informed diagnoses. With the large number of study exams that radiologists have to perform on a daily basis, it becomes too time-consuming for radiologists to sift through each patient's clinical documents. It is therefore important to provide a capability that can present contextually relevant clinical documents, and at the same time satisfy the diverse information needs among radiologists from different specialties. In this work, we propose a knowledge-based semantic similarity approach that uses domain-specific relationships such as part-of along with taxonomic relationships such as is-a to identify relevant radiology exam records. Our approach also incorporates explicit relevance feedback to personalize radiologists information needs. We evaluated our approach on a corpus of 6,265 radiology exam reports through study sessions with radiologists and demonstrated that the retrieval performance of our approach yields an improvement of 5% over the baseline. We further performed intra-class and inter-class similarities using a subset of 2,384 reports spanning across 10 exam codes. Our result shows that intra-class similarities are always higher than the inter-class similarities and our approach was able to obtain 6% percent improvement in intra-class similarities against the baseline. Our results suggest that the use of domain-specific relationships together with relevance feedback provides a significant value to improve the accuracy of the retrieval of radiology exam reports.
Load-Side Reaction Force Control Based on Model-Matching Controller for Two-Inertia System with Environment (2021)

In a two-inertia system, load-side control is relatively simple to design using a cascade controller with a torsion torque controller in the minor-loop. However, the control bandwidth of the outer controller, such as the load-side reaction force controller, is affected by the bandwidth of the minor-loop. Thus, this paper proposes load-side reaction force control based on model-matching control. To realize a simple model-matching control, an equivalent disturbance compensator (EDC) is applied to torsion torque controller. The EDC is able to be used to suppress disturbance, such as the reaction force to the torsion torque. Moreover, the torsion torque and environmental vibration mode are separated. The effectiveness of the proposed control is verified through numerical simulations and experiments.
Millimeter Wave Oscillations from Tunnett Diodes (1974)

Space and time dispersions of carrier distribution included in an avalanche build up process are discussed in Si and GaAs, especially concentrating on exchange frequency from an avalanche to a tunneling in a carrier injection mechanism in transit time diodes. GaAs multilayer structure has been pointed out favorable to realize the relatively low exchange frequency. GaAs high-low-high multilayer diodes (M n+ n n+ ) are fabricated by successive liquid phase epitaxy and exhibit oscillations due to tunnel injection at 92 GHz.
Microbial Protein-tyrosine Kinases (2014)

Microbial ester kinases identified in the past 3 decades came as a surprise, as protein phosphorylation on Ser, Thr, and Tyr amino acids was thought to be unique to eukaryotes. Current analysis of available microbial genomes reveals that "eukaryote-like" protein kinases are prevalent in prokaryotes and can converge in the same signaling pathway with the classical microbial "two-component" systems. Most microbial tyrosine kinases lack the "eukaryotic" Hanks domain signature and are designated tyrosine kinases based upon their biochemical activity. These include the tyrosine kinases termed bacterial tyrosine kinases (BY-kinases), which are responsible for the majority of known bacterial tyrosine phosphorylation events. Although termed generally as bacterial tyrosine kinases, BY-kinases can be considered as one family belonging to the superfamily of prokaryotic protein-tyrosine kinases in bacteria. Other members of this superfamily include atypical "odd" tyrosine kinases with diverse mechanisms of protein phosphorylation and the "eukaryote-like" Hanks-type tyrosine kinases. Here, we discuss the distribution, phylogeny, and function of the various prokaryotic protein-tyrosine kinases, focusing on the recently discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis PtkA and its relationship with other members of this diverse family of proteins.

Downregulation of MicroRNA eca-mir-128 in Seminal Exosomes and Enhanced Expression of CXCL16 in the Stallion Reproductive Tract Are Associated with Long-Term Persistence of Equine Arteritis Virus (2018)

Equine arteritis virus (EAV) can establish long-term persistent infection in the reproductive tract of stallions and is shed in the semen. Previous studies showed that long-term persistence is associated with a specific allele of the <i>CXCL16</i> gene (<i>CXCL16S</i>) and that persistent infection is maintained despite the presence of a local inflammatory and humoral and mucosal antibody responses. In this study, we demonstrated that equine seminal exosomes (SEs) are enriched in a small subset of microRNAs (miRNAs). Most importantly, we demonstrated that long-term EAV persistence is associated with the downregulation of an SE-associated miRNA (eca-mir-128) and with an enhanced expression of CXCL16 in the reproductive tract, a putative target of eca-mir-128. The findings presented here suggest that SE eca-mir-128 is implicated in the regulation of the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis in the reproductive tract of persistently infected stallions, a chemokine axis strongly implicated in EAV persistence. This is a novel finding and warrants further investigation to identify its specific mechanism in modulating the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis in the reproductive tract of the EAV long-term carrier stallion.<b>IMPORTANCE</b> Equine arteritis virus (EAV) has the ability to establish long-term persistent infection in the stallion reproductive tract and to be shed in semen, which jeopardizes its worldwide control. Currently, the molecular mechanisms of viral persistence are being unraveled, and these are essential for the development of effective therapeutics to eliminate persistent infection. Recently, it has been determined that long-term persistence is associated with a specific allele of the <i>CXCL16</i> gene (<i>CXCL16S</i>) and is maintained despite induction of local inflammatory, humoral, and mucosal antibody responses. This study demonstrated that long-term persistence is associated with the downregulation of seminal exosome miRNA eca-mir-128 and enhanced expression of its putative target, CXCL16, in the reproductive tract. For the first time, this study suggests complex interactions between eca-mir-128 and cellular elements at the site of EAV persistence and implicates this miRNA in the regulation of the CXCL16/CXCR6 axis in the reproductive tract during long-term persistence.
Derivation of analytical refraction, propagation and reflection equations for higher order aberrations of wavefronts (2012)

Derivation of analytical refraction, propagation and reflection equations for Higher Order Aberrations of wavefronts From literature the analytical calculation of Lower Order Aberrations (LOA) of a wavefront after refraction, propagation and reflection is well-known, it is for local Power and Astigmatism performed by the Coddington equation for refraction and reflection and the classical vertex correction formula for propagation. However, equivalent analytical equations for Higher Order aberrations (HOA) do not exist. Since HOA play an increasingly important role in many fields of optics, e.g. ophthalmic optics, it is the purpose of this study to extend the analytical Generalized Coddington Equation and the analytical Transfer Equation, which deals with second order aberration, to the case of HOA (e.g. Coma and Spherical Aberration). This is achieved by local power series expansions. The purpose of this PhD was to extend the analytical Generalized Coddington Equation and the analytical Transfer Equation, which deals with Lower Order Aberrations (power and astigmatism), to the case of Higher Order Aberrations (e.g. Coma and Spherical Aberration). In summary, with the novel results presented here, it is now possible to calculate analytically the aberrations of an outgoing wavefront directly from the aberrations of the incoming wavefront and the refractive or reflective surface and the aberrations of a propagated wavefront directly from the aberrations of the original wavefront containing both low-order and high-order aberrations.

Heterogeneous Sensing Data Analysis for Commercial Waste Collection (2020)

Waste collection has become a major issue all over the world, especially when it is offered as a service for businesses; unlike public waste collection where the parameters are relatively homogeneous. This industry can greatly benefit from new sensing technologies and advances in artificial intelligence that have been achieved over the last few years. However, in most situations waste management systems are based on obsolete technologies, with a low level of interoperability and thus offering static processes. The most advanced solutions are generally limited to statistical, non-predictive approaches and have a limited view of reality, making them weakly effective in dealing with day-to-day business issues (overflowing containers, poor quality of service, etc.). This paper presents a case study currently being developed in Luxembourg with a company offering a business waste collection service, which has a significant amount of constraints to consider. Our main objective is to investigate the use of multiple waste data sources to derive useful indicators for improving collection processes. We start with company-owned historical data and then investigate GPS information from tracking devices positioned on collection trucks. Furthermore, we analyze data collected from ultrasonic sensors deployed on almost 50 different containers to measure fill levels. We describe the deployment steps and show that this approach, combined with anomaly detection and prediction techniques, has the potential to change the way this business operates. We also discuss the interest of the different datasets presented and multi-objective optimization issues. To the best of our knowledge, this article is the first major work dedicated to the world of professional waste collection.
Data from Pan-PIM Kinase Inhibition Provides a Novel Therapy for Treating Hematologic Cancers (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; PIM kinases have been shown to act as oncogenes in mice, with each family member being able to drive progression of hematologic cancers. Consistent with this, we found that PIMs are highly expressed in human hematologic cancers and show that each isoform has a distinct expression pattern among disease subtypes. This suggests that inhibitors of all three PIMs would be effective in treating multiple hematologic malignancies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; Pan-PIM inhibitors have proven difficult to develop because PIM2 has a low &lt;i&gt;K&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;m&lt;/sub&gt; for ATP and, thus, requires a very potent inhibitor to effectively block the kinase activity at the ATP levels in cells. We developed a potent and specific pan-PIM inhibitor, LGB321, which is active on PIM2 in the cellular context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; LGB321 is active on PIM2-dependent multiple myeloma cell lines, where it inhibits proliferation, mTOR-C1 signaling and phosphorylation of BAD. Broad cancer cell line profiling of LGB321 demonstrates limited activity in cell lines derived from solid tumors. In contrast, significant activity in cell lines derived from diverse hematological lineages was observed, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Furthermore, we demonstrate LGB321 activity in the KG-1 AML xenograft model, in which modulation of pharmacodynamics markers is predictive of efficacy. Finally, we demonstrate that LGB321 synergizes with cytarabine in this model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; We have developed a potent and selective pan-PIM inhibitor with single-agent antiproliferative activity and show that it synergizes with cytarabine in an AML xenograft model. Our results strongly support the development of Pan-PIM inhibitors to treat hematologic malignancies. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 20(7); 1834–45. ©2014 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Fast Hybrid Block- and Pixel- Recursive Disparity Analysis for Real-Time Applications in Immersive Tele-Conference Scenarios. (2001)

This paper presents a fast disparity analysis approach based on a hybrid block- and pixel-recursive\nmatching scheme. The key idea is to choose efficiently a small number of candidate vectors in order to\nreduce the computational effort by simultaneously achieving spatial and temporal consistency in the\nresulting disparity map. The latter aspect is very important for 3D videoconferencing applications, where\nnovel views of the conferee have to be synthesised in order to provide motion parallax. For this\napplication a processing of video in ITU-Rec. 601 resolution is required. Our algorithm is able to provide\ndense disparity vector fields for both directions (left-to-right and right-to-left) in real-time at one Pentium\nIII, 800 MHz processor in reasonable quality.
Direct Imide Formation from Thiophene Dicarboxylic Acids Gives Expanded Side-Chain Selection in Thienopyrrolediones (2017)

The synthesis of thienopyrroledione (TPD) has been updated to reduce the number of synthetic steps, remove hazardous and toxic reagents, reduce the amount of byproduct waste, and reduce the use of solvents when unnecessary. Diverse functionalization is possible, introducing 16 examples in yields from 34% to 95%. This reaction scheme was shown to be general for thiophene imides, and a more thorough exploration into side chain engineering is presented with TPD acceptors often used in organic electronic applications.
Selection of DNA nanoparticles with preferential binding to aggregated protein target (2016)

High affinity and specificity are considered essential for affinity reagents and molecularly-targeted therapeutics, such as monoclonal antibodies. However, life's own molecular and cellular machinery consists of lower affinity, highly multivalent interactions that are metastable, but easily reversible or displaceable. With this inspiration, we have developed a DNA-based reagent platform that uses massive avidity to achieve stable, but reversible specific recognition of polyvalent targets. We have previously selected these DNA reagents, termed DeNAno, against various cells and now we demonstrate that DeNAno specific for protein targets can also be selected. DeNAno were selected against streptavidin-, rituximab- and bevacizumab-coated beads. Binding was stable for weeks and unaffected by the presence of soluble target proteins, yet readily competed by natural or synthetic ligands of the target proteins. Thus DeNAno particles are a novel biomolecular recognition agent whose orthogonal use of avidity over affinity results in uniquely stable yet reversible binding interactions.

Search for the presence of six Mycoplasma species in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of subjects seropositive and seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (1996)

The prevalence of Mycoplasma fermentans, Mycoplasma pirum, Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma hominis, and Mycoplasma penetrans was investigated by using specific PCR assays with peripheral blood mononuclear cells from subjects infected or not infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Only M. fermentans was detected in 5.8% of 154 HIV-seropositive and 11.1% of 90 HIV-seronegative subjects.
Hair Emoting with Style Guides in Turning Red (2022)

For Pixar’s feature film Turning Red, the grooming and simulation teams faced the challenge of handling characters with millions of fur and hair curves, which often needed to behave differently in each shot reflecting the characters’ emotional states. This work describes new tools developed to assist artists in managing and sculpting these large amounts of fur and hair. In particular, we present a novel surface-aware technique for curve deformation that interpolates hair sculpts at varying levels of detail, accompanied by a customized user interface for interactively browsing hair layers.
