BOX-BEAM GUARDRAIL TERMINAL (1994)

A crashworthy terminal for box-beam guardrails was developed and successfully crash tested. The terminal incorporated a telescoping tube configuration with a 7-in. x 7-in. x 1/8-in. (178-mm x 178-mm x 3.2-mm) outer tube placed over the standard 6-in. x 6-in. x 3/16-in. (152-mm x 152-mm x 4.8-mm) box-beam rail element. A breakaway post and cable mechanism, similar to that used with the breakaway cable terminal, was used at the end of the terminal to provide anchorage for downstream impacts. An impact head attached to a short segment of a 6-in. x 6-in. x 3/16-in. (152-mm x 152-mm x 4.8-mm) box beam was inserted into the upstream end of the outer tube. The impact head serves to capture impacting vehicles, and the short tubular element slides back into the outer tube to allow the lead wood post to break away. A breakaway tensile connector similar to that used in the ET-2000 terminal was incorporated to transmit tension between the two telescoping tubes without adversely affecting system compression. Pultruded glass/polyester fiber-reinforced plastic tubes were inserted inside the telescoping steel tubes to provide energy dissipation. Full-scale crash testing demonstrated that this telescoping tube terminal for box-beam guardrails met safety standards set forth in NCHRP Report 230.
Using hydrologic measurements to investigate free phase gas ebullition in a Maine Peatland, USA (2013)

Abstract. Northern Peatlands cover more than 350 million ha and are an important source of methane (CH4) and other biogenic gases contributing to climate change. Free phase gas (FPG) accumulation and episodic release has recently been recognized as an important mechanism for biogenic gas flux from peatlands. It is likely that gas production and groundwater flow are interconnected in peatlands: groundwater flow influences gas production by regulating geochemical conditions and nutrient supply available for methanogenesis while FPG influences groundwater flow through a reduction in peat permeability and by creating excess pore water pressures. Water samples collected from three well sites at Caribou Bog, Maine, show substantial dissolved CH4 (5–16 mg L−1) in peat waters below 2 m depth and an increase in concentrations with depth. This suggests substantial production and storage of CH4 in deep peat that may be episodically released as FPG. Two minute increment pressure transducer data reveal approximately 5 cm fluctuations in hydraulic head from both deep and shallow peat that are believed to be indicative of FPG release. FPG release persists up to 24 h during decreasing atmospheric pressure and a rising water table. Preferential flow is seen towards an area of relatively lower hydraulic head associated with the esker and pool system. Increased CH4 concentrations are also found at the depth of the esker crest suggesting that the high permeability esker is acting as a conduit for groundwater flow, driving a downward transport of labile carbon, resulting in higher rates of CH4 production.

Fabrication and properties of optoelectronic SiGeSn alloys integrated on silicon substrates (2009)

Attempts to decouple band gap from strain-engineering in group IV materials motivated a significant effort to develop ternary SiGeSn alloys. These grow either directly on Si (100) or on GeSnand Ge-buffered Si substrates, remain stable at temperatures beyond 800degC (depending on composition), and display intriguing electronic and transport properties. In particular, the complete decoupling of electronic structure and lattice constant was demonstrated in a specific family of SiGeSn alloys lattice-matched to Ge [1] and transport measurements in nand/?-type analogs reveal mobilities comparable to those in elemental Ge. Combined with novel CVD approaches to the growth of binary GeSn alloys [2] as well as superior quality Ge films on Si substrates [3], these materials represent an entire new class of IR semiconductors with the potential to revolutionize the field of group-IV materials. The purpose of this paper is to review the preparation and properties of SiGeSn alloys and discuss their potential for photonic applications. The two-dimensional compositional space of this system as well as the many possible lattice matched and un-matched combinations of ternary, binary, and elemental groupIV semiconductors provide unprecedented flexibility to further develop and optimize the basic properties of these materials for optoelectronic, thermoelectricity and potentially photovoltaics.
Nonlinear dynamics of adhesive micro-spherical particles on vibrating substrates (2012)

The coupled (rocking and out-of-plane) vibrational dynamics of micro-spherical particles on vibrating flat substrates is studied experimentally, analytically, and computationally. In the experimental spectral responses of some of vibrating particles, in addition to their predicted rocking resonance frequencies, extra resonance peaks at the doubles of these predicted frequencies have been previously observed and reported. To understand and explain the rocking resonance frequency doubling effect, a two-dimensional mathematical model describing the coupled dynamics of a micro-spherical particle in the out-of-plane and rocking coordinates is developed and reported. Previously, the doubling effect was leading to ambiguity in adhesion characterization. It is determined that the frequency doubling observed in the spectral domain responses of particles is caused by nonlinear coupling between the out-of-plane and in-plane modes of motion while the particle is experiencing a whirling-like motion taking place around a nearly stationary axis tilted with respect to the substrate normal (as opposed to the substrate normal itself). In current study, the leaning angles of the rocking motion with whirling of a set of polystyrene latex particles are approximated by utilizing the coupled dynamic model. Also, the work-of-adhesion values extracted from the experimental resonance frequencies of a set of particles using the developed model are compared to those reported in the literature and a good agreement is found. The detection and analysis of the reported motion is relevant to adhesion bond characterization and particle manipulation.
Review and Comparison of Single-Phase Grid-Tied Photovoltaic Microinverters (2018)

The presence of the electrical isolation between the PV module and the grid is very crucial aspect in determining the performance requirement as well as the utility operator's specs of the PV microinverter design. The grid-connected PV microinverter design can be classified into transformer-less and transformer-based topologies in regard to the galvanic isolation. Typically, a microinverter's performance can be enhanced with the use of transformerless topologies to be more efficient, compact, less bulky, and costly than the transformer-based topologies. Whereas, the use of transformer in microinverter topologies provides high power quality as well as galvanic isolation to eliminate the safety issues which in return meet the grid standards. In this paper, to address the various challenges of microinverters, a number of experimentally verified non-isolated and isolated microinverters have been carefully reviewed and compared in terms of their corresponding efficiency, power density, reliability, and cost.
Clumping and Packing of Hair Arrays Manufactured by Nanocasting (2004)

The gecko’s remarkable dry adhesive system, consisting of arrays of heirarchically structured hairs made from a stiff material, has motivated widespread interest in creating a synthetic dry adhesive whose adhesive properties derive more from its geometry than its bulk material properties. Recently, methods for synthesizing simple hair arrays have been developed. It has been observed that micro and nanosized synthetic hairs often adhere together to form clumps. This paper introduces several models and guidelines for predicting clumping conditions through hair geometry and lattice structure, and presents our methods for casting hair arrays.

FIB-Milled Nanopore Sensors for Tracking Virus Assembly (2016)

Virus assembly is a coordinated process in which hundreds of subunits react to form complex, symmetric particles Single-particle methods that examine the mechanisms by which capsid reactions occur are lacking, and measurement of low-abundance intermediates on path to forming complete particles is particularly challenging. We are using resistive-pulse sensing as a label-free, nondestructive technique to characterize the assembly of Hepatitis B Virus Cp149 dimers into T = 3 and T = 4 icosahedral capsids. This single-particle method counts and sizes intermediates and capsids in real time, with single-particle sensitivity, and at biologically relevant concentrations
SAQAM: Spatial Audio Quality Assessment Metric (2022)

Audio quality assessment is critical for assessing the perceptual realism of sounds. However, the time and expense of obtaining ''gold standard'' human judgments limit the availability of such data. For AR&amp;VR, good perceived sound quality and localizability of sources are among the key elements to ensure complete immersion of the user. Our work introduces SAQAM which uses a multi-task learning framework to assess listening quality (LQ) and spatialization quality (SQ) between any given pair of binaural signals without using any subjective data. We model LQ by training on a simulated dataset of triplet human judgments, and SQ by utilizing activation-level distances from networks trained for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. We show that SAQAM correlates well with human responses across four diverse datasets. Since it is a deep network, the metric is differentiable, making it suitable as a loss function for other tasks. For example, simply replacing an existing loss with our metric yields improvement in a speech-enhancement network.
ChemInform Abstract: N‐Aryl‐O‐(α‐aminoacyl)hydroxylamines: Model Reactions with Deoxyguanosine, Guanosine and 5′‐Guanosinemonophosphate for the Activation of Monocyclic Aromatic Amines (e.g. Phenacetin) into Ultimate Carcinogens. (1990)

Abstract In vitro model reactions of the activation of monocyclic aromatic amines by α‐amino acids show that α‐aminohydroxamic acids such as (I) rearrange under base catalysis to the title compounds (II) which react with bionucleophiles such as deoxyguanosine (III) to form the adducts (IV).
Formation of distinctive structures of GaN by inductively-coupled-plasma and reactive ion etching under optimized chemical etching conditions (2017)

We focused on inductively coupled plasma and reactive ion etching (ICP–RIE) for etching GaN and tried to fabricate distinctive GaN structures under optimized chemical etching conditions. To determine the optimum chemical etching conditions, the flow rates of Ar and Cl2, ICP power, and chamber pressure were varied in the etching of c-plane GaN layers with stripe patterns. It was determined that the combination of Ar and Cl2 flow rates of 100 sccm, chamber pressure of 7 Pa, and ICP power of 800 W resulted in the most enhanced reaction, yielding distinctive GaN structures such as pillars with inverted mesa structures for c-plane GaN and a semipolar GaN layer with asymmetric inclined sidewalls. The selectivity and etching rate were also investigated.

Ear-EEG Forward Models: Improved Head-Models for Ear-EEG (2019)

Computational models for mapping electrical sources in the brain to potentials on the scalp have been widely explored. However, current models do not describe the external ear anatomy well, and is therefore not suitable for ear-EEG recordings. Here we present an extension to existing computational models, by incorporating an improved description of the external ear anatomy based on 3D scanned impressions of the ears. The result is a method to compute an ear-EEG forward model, which enables mapping of sources in the brain to potentials in the ear. To validate the method, individualized ear-EEG forward models were computed for four subjects, and ear-EEG and scalp EEG were recorded concurrently from the subjects in a study comprising both auditory and visual stimuli. The EEG recordings were analyzed with independent component analysis (ICA) and using the individualized ear-EEG forward models, single dipole fitting was performed for each independent component (IC). A subset of ICs were selected, based on how well they were modeled by a single dipole in the brain volume. The correlation between the topographic IC map and the topographic map predicted by the forward model, was computed for each IC. Generally, the correlation was high in the ear closest to the dipole location, showing that the ear-EEG forward models provided a good model to predict ear potentials. In addition, we demonstrated that the developed forward models can be used to explore the sensitivity to brain sources for different ear-EEG electrode configurations. We consider the proposed method to be an important step forward in the characterization and utilization of ear-EEG.
Dietary Ground Flaxseed Increases Serum Alpha-Linolenic Acid Concentrations in Adult Cats (2022)

We evaluated effects of dietary ground flaxseed on fecal and serum alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) concentrations, nutrient digestibility, and stool quality in female and male adult cats (n = 20 (8 males, 12 females); 3.95 ± 1.49 years of age (mean ± SD); 3.88 ± 0.82 kg BW). We hypothesized that adding ground flaxseed would increase serum ALA compared with feeding no flax, without changing nutrient digestibility. Cats were fed as-is 2.6% added-flaxseed (flax, n = 10) or no-flax (control, n = 10) diets (2.66 vs. 0.78% ALA of total fatty acids; crude protein 35%, fat 20%, fiber 3% as-fed) twice daily to maintain body weight for 28 days. Fecal collections were conducted on days 23–27 for total-tract nutrient digestibility, stool quality (scale 1–5; 1 = watery diarrhea, 5 = hard, dry, crumbly) and long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) analyses. Blood was collected on days 0, 14, and 28 for serum LCFA and chemistry analysis. Digestibility and fecal data were analyzed by ANOVA (SAS v9.4, Cary, NC, USA) and a repeated measures ANOVA for serum ALA. Flax-fed cats, compared with control-fed, had greater (p &lt; 0.05) serum ALA after 14 days (4.00 vs. 0.71 µg/mL) and 28 days (7.83 and 3.67 µg/mL). No differences were observed in stool quality, and dry matter, protein, fat, and ALA digestibility. However, metabolizable energy was greater in the flax vs. control diet (4.18 vs. 3.91 kcal/g; p &lt; 0.05). Overall, these data demonstrate that ground flaxseed added to cat diets increases serum ALA within 14 days, with no detriments to nutrient digestibility. We conclude that flaxseed can be used as a bioavailable source of ALA in cat diets.
Laser calorimetric measurement of two-photon absorption (1979)

A laser calorimeter has been used to measure two-photon absorption in solids. This new technique provides greater sensitivity than is possible in nonlinear transmission measurements. The two-photon absorption coefficients of CdTe and CdSe at 1.06 μm using ∼16-nsec (FWHM) pulses are 0.13±0.04 and 0.050±0.014 cm/MW, respectively.
Future prospects for immunotherapy (1975)

The use of immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer is in its infancy. Definitive examples currently exist in both experimental animals and in humans that immunotherapy can beneficially affect the natural course of established growing malignant disease. Whether these pioneering examples will be extended so that immunotherapy can have a broad applicability in the treatment of cancer in man in not yet known and is a subject of much current work.
Search for additional neutral gauge bosons (1996)

We have searched for a heavy neutral gauge boson, Z′, using the decay channel Z′ → ee. The data were collected with the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron during the 1992–1993 pp collider run at s=1.8 TeV from an integrated luminosity of 15±1 pb−1. Limits are set on the cross section times brancing ratio for the process pp → Z′ → ee as a function of the Z′ mass. We exclude the existence of a Z′ of mass less than 490 GeV/c2, assuming a Z′ with the same coupling strengths to quarks and leptons as the standard model Z boson.

CRISPR–Cas12a system in fission yeast for multiplex genomic editing and CRISPR interference (2020)

The CRISPR-Cas12a is a class II, type V clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) system with both RNase and DNase activity. Compared to the CRISPR-Cas9 system, it recognizes T-rich PAM sequences and has the advantage of multiplex genomic editing. Here, in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we successfully implemented the CRISPR-Cas12a system for versatile genomic editing and manipulation. In addition to the rrk1 promoter, we used new pol II promoters from endogenous coding genes to express crRNA for Cas12a and obtained a much higher editing efficiency. This new design expands the promoter choices for potential applications in fission yeast and other organisms. In addition, we expressed a gRNA array using a strong constitutive pol II promoter. The array transcript is processed by Cas12a itself to release multiple mature crRNAs. With this construct, multiplex genomic editing of up to three loci was achieved from a single yeast transformation. We also built a CRISPR interference system using a DNase-dead Cas12a to significantly repress endogenous gene expression. Our study provides the first CRISPR-Cas12a toolkit for efficient and rapid genomic gene editing and regulation in fission yeast.
Involvement of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the interleukin 4 inhibitory effect on interleukin 2-induced lymphokine-activated killer generation. (1990)

In previous studies, IL-4 has been reported to interfere with IL-2-driven generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity. In this investigation, we have demonstrated that IL-4 inhibited the IL-2-induced differentiation of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) into LAK effectors by a mechanism involving, at least in part, an increase in LGL intracellular cAMP levels. In contrast, with its capacity to induce cAMP accumulation in resting LGL, IL-4 had a very negligible effect on LAK activity induction, and cAMP levels increase in LGL that had been preincubated with IL-2. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of IL-4 on LAK activity generation also correlated with a marked decrease in N-CBZ-L-lysine thiobenzylester esterase activity, with an inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) mRNA expression and TNF production by IL-2-stimulated LGL. These results strongly suggest that complex signaling processes could be ascribed to the dual activities of cytokines and their interplay in LAK promotion.
