Amber: A 367 GOPS, 538 GOPS/W 16nm SoC with a Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array for Flexible Acceleration of Dense Linear Algebra (2022)

Amber is a system-on-chip (SoC) with a coarse-grained reconfigurable array (CGRA) for acceleration of dense linear algebra applications such as machine learning (ML), image processing, and computer vision. It achieves a peak energy efficiency of 538.0 INT16 GOPS/W and 483.3 BFloat16 GFLOPS/W. We maximize CGRA utilization and minimize reconfigurability overhead through (1) dynamic partial reconfiguration of the CGRA that enables higher resource utilization by allowing multiple applications to run at once, (2) efficient streaming memory controllers supporting affine access patterns, and (3) low-overhead transcendental and complex arithmetic operations. Compared to a CPU, a GPU, and an FPGA, Amber achieves up to 3902x, 152x, and 88x better energy-delay product (EDP).

Differentiation of Early from Advanced Coronary Atherosclerotic Lesions: Systematic Comparison of CT, Intravascular US, and Optical Frequency Domain Imaging with Histopathologic Examination in ex Vivo Human Hearts (2012)

Systematic and standardized comparison between invasive and noninvasive modalities for coronary plaque characterization in ex vivo specimens demonstrated that coronary CT angiography and intravascular US are reasonably associated with plaque composition and lesion grading according to histopathologic findings, while OFDI was strongly associated. These data may help to develop initial concepts of sequential imaging strategies to identify patients with advanced coronary plaques.
Energy-efficient processing through adaptation and resiliency (2010)

Summary form only given. Today's SoC devices are often constrained by both performance and power requirements. New software capabilities and usage models demand more processing power than ever before, however the increased integration requires advanced power management techniques. Process scaling, which makes this all possible, also leads to increased susceptibility to variations static process variations as well as dynamic environmental variations in voltage, temperature, and transistor aging. Design of an energy-efficient SoC requires innovations at both circuits and architecture level in tolerating variations and enabling low-voltage operation. The paper discusses the role that variations play in the performance and power of a processing block. It describe how adaptive techniques can be used to reduce the impact of variations and enable low-voltage, lowpower operation of both the logic and memory blocks. It also describes resilient circuit techniques that incorporate error-detection and correction circuits into the processor core. These techniques allow correct operation even in the presence of large dynamic variations, resulting in an energy-efficient design that naturally adapts to its operating environment.

The effect of water activity on the sorption and diffusion of water in thermosets based on polyester, vinyl ester, and novolac resins (2012)

Abstract In this work, the transport properties of water in various thermoset resins typically used for fiber‐reinforced plastic process equipment (vinyl ester, novolac, bisphenol‐A‐epoxy‐based polyester, and urethane‐modified vinyl ester) were systematically studied with a focus on the effects of water activity. Sorption and desorption studies were carried out in aqueous solutions (water activity = 0.78–1) with different salts (NaCl, MgCl 2 , Na 2 SO 4 , and KCl) and one nonionic substance (sucrose) within the temperature interval 65–95°C. It was found that the water concentration in thermoset resins with different chemical structures could be predicted from the water activity, regardless of the actual solute (salt or sucrose) in the aqueous solution. The water quasi‐equilibrium concentration decreased with decreasing water activity, whereas the average diffusion coefficient was considered to be independent of water activity in the studied water activity range. A relationship, based on a power law fit, was established describing the water concentration as a function of the water activity and the concentration of pure water. The relationship was independent of resin chemistry and temperature. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2012. © 2012 Society of Plastics Engineers
Molybdenum Nitride as a Scalable and Thermally Stable pWFM for CFET (2023)

ALD MoN is proposed as a scalable and thermally stable p-type WFM for CFET. The early film closure and high WF of the ALD MoN make it as a promising scalable pWFM applicable to a wide-tunable multi- $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{t}}$ nanosheet gate stack. The high EWF of MoN pMOS is also thermally stable as compared to the reference TiN, which makes it suitable for CFET. On planar RMG pFETs, V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</inf> reduction by up to 220mV was achieved with MoN barrier compared to the TiN for the same physical thickness, without affecting long channel hole mobility and NBTI reliability.

NÉEL LINES STRUCTURES IN UNIAXIAL FERROMAGNETS WITH QUALITY FACTOR Q > 1 (1988)

Numerical calculations indicate that splay lines in uniaxial magnetic materials satisfying Q > 1 induce wall buckling. Both splay and half-circular lines are found to be wider than predicted whereas wall contraction at line location is smaller than anticipated. Buckling amplitude, line width and wall contraction increase with decreasing Q.
Effect of Sintering Pressure and Rising Speed on Densification, Bending Strength and Microstructure of Alumina Ceramics Prepared by Spark-Plasma-Sintering. (1999)

An effect of sintering pressure and rising speed of temperature on the densification, bending strengths and microstructure of alumina ceramics prepared by spark-plasma-sintering was investigated at 1350°C or 1400°C for 0.3ks. No effect of spark-plasma-sintering was observed at a sintering pressure of 10MPa. Above 10MPa, the spark-plasma-sintering brought higher densities in comparison with the hot-press. But the sintering pressure was too high to accelerate the grain growth and the strengths deteriorated. Slower the rising speed, higher the densities. However the rising speed was too slow to promote the grain growth and the strengths dropped. It is necessary to select the proper sintering pressure and rising speed in the case of firing the materials by the spark-plasma-sintering.

Actinic inspection of extreme ultraviolet programed multilayer defects and cross-comparison measurements (2006)

The production of defect-free mask blanks remains a key challenge for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Integral to this effort is the development and characterization of mask inspection tools that are sensitive enough to detect critical defects with high confidence. Using a single programed-defect mask with a range of buried bump-type defects, the authors report a comparison of measurements made in four different mask inspection tools: one commercial tool using 488nm wavelength illumination, one prototype tool that uses 266nm illumination, and two noncommercial EUV “actinic” inspection tools. The EUV tools include a dark field imaging microscope and a scanning microscope. Their measurements show improving sensitivity with the shorter wavelength non-EUV tool, down to 33nm spherical-equivalent-volume diameter, for defects of this type. Measurements conditions were unique to each tool, with the EUV tools operating at a much slower inspection rate. Several defects observed with EUV inspection were below the detection threshold of the non-EUV tools.
The kappaB sites in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 long terminal repeat enhance virus replication yet are not absolutely required for viral growth (1997)

The dependence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on its NF-kappaB binding sites (kappaB sites) for replication in transformed and primary T-cell targets was examined by infecting cells with HIV-1 reporter viruses containing kappaB site enhancer mutations. Viral transcription was measured either with luciferase-expressing HIV-1 that infects for a single round or by flow cytometric analyses with HIV-1 expressing placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) or green-fluorescent protein (GFP). Both PLAP- and GFP-expressing viruses spread from cell to cell and allowed analysis of viral gene expression patterns in single cells. Infection of a panel of T-cell lines with different basal levels of NF-kappaB demonstrated a direct correlation between the amount of constitutive nuclear NF-kappaB and the degree to which a wild-type virus outperformed kappaB site mutants. One T-cell line with a constitutively high level of nuclear NF-kappaB, PM1, showed a 20-fold decrease in transcription when its kappaB sites were mutated. In contrast, in a T-cell line with a low basal level of NF-kappaB, SupT1, mutation of the kappaB site in the enhancer had no effect on viral transcription or growth rate. Phytohemagglutinin-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed a large dependence on the kappaB sites for optimal virus growth. Viruses without marker genes corroborated the finding that mutations to the kappaB sites impair virus production in cells with a high basal level of NF-kappaB. These data show that in T cells, HIV-1 can use NF-kappaB to enhance its growth but the virus is clearly able to grow in its absence.

Audio-visual scene understanding utilizing text information for a cooking support robot (2015)

This paper addresses multimodal “scene understanding” for a robot using audio-visual and text information. Scene understanding is defined by extracting six-W information such as What, When, Where, Who, Why, and hoW on the surrounding environment. Although scene understanding for a robot has been studied in the fields of robot vision and audition, only the first four Ws except for why and how information were considered. We, thus, focus on extracting how information, in particular, on cooking scenes. In cooking scenes, we define how information as a cooking procedure, and it is useful that a robot gives appropriate advice for cooking. To realize such cooking support, we propose a multi-modal cooking procedure recognition framework consisting of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model (HHMM). CNN is knows as one of the most advanced classifiers, and it is applied to recognize a cooking events from audio and visual information. HHMM models a cooking procedure represented by a sequence of cooking events, which is defined as a relationship between cooking events using text data obtained from web, and the cooking events classified with CNN. Therefore, our proposed framework integrates these three types of modalities. We constructed an interactive cooking support system based on the proposed framework, which advice a next step in the current cooking procedure through human-robot communication. Preliminary results with simulated and real recorded multi-modal scenes showed the robustness of the proposed framework in a noisy and/or occluded situation.
Finding important sites in protein sequences (2002)

By using sequence information from an aligned protein family, a procedure is exhibited for finding sites that may be functionally or structurally critical to the protein. Features based on sequence conservation within subfamilies in the alignment and associations between sites are used to select the sites. The sites are subject to statistical evaluation correcting for phylogenetic bias in the collection of sequences. This method is applied to two families: the phycobiliproteins, light-harvesting proteins in cyanobacteria, red algae, and cryptomonads, and the globins that function in oxygen storage and transport. The sites identified by the procedure are located in key structural positions and merit further experimental study.
Simian immunodeficiency virus inhibits bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell growth (1990)

The pathogenic mechanisms underlying the depressed hematopoietic functions seen in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals were explored in rhesus monkeys infected with the simian immunodeficiency virus of macaques (SIVmac). Bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell colony formation, both granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) and erythrocyte (BFU-E), was shown to be decreased in number in SIVmac-infected rhesus monkeys. SIVmac was readily isolated from bone marrow cells of infected monkeys and was shown to be harbored in macrophages rather than T lymphocytes. The in vitro infection of normal bone marrow cells by SIVmac inhibited colony formation. A striking in vivo correlation between increased SIVmac load in bone marrow cells and decreased hematopoietic progenitor cell colony growth was also shown. Finally, inhibition of SIVmac replication in bone marrow macrophages resulted in increased progenitor cell colony growth from bone marrow cells. These results suggest that the infection of bone marrow macrophages by the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) virus may contribute to depressed bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell growth. Moreover, inhibition of AIDS virus replication in these macrophages might induce significant improvement in hematopoietic function.
Probabilistic power control for heterogeneous cellular networks with closed-access femtocells (2011)

Heterogeneous cellular networks where conventional macro cells are overlaid with low power consumer deployed femtocell base stations are in the process of being deployed for their benefits in terms of scale, economy, and spectral efficiency. However, when femtocells operate in closed access, the problem of coverage holes for macro users needs to be solved. This paper proposes a probabilistic power control scheme based on results from stochastic geometry. The femto-layer transmit power for a given cell is computed at its macro base station and broadcasted to the femto base stations. Simulation results unveil that considerable performance gains can be achieved without additional information exchange among base stations or measurements at the handsets.
Calcite–Brine Interface and Its Implications in Oilfield Applications: Insights from Zeta Potential Experiments and Molecular Dynamics Simulations (2022)

Carbonate reservoirs are made up of predominantly calcite and dolomite minerals and hold significant hydrocarbon reserves globally. However, the production from carbonate reservoirs is limited due to their wettability, which controls the production and fluid distribution. To develop efficient strategies for producing from these formations, it is necessary to understand the underlining mechanisms of carbonate rock wettability. We believe that understanding the native state of the rock mineral in the reservoir environment and how oilfield operations affect the wetting state of minerals is critical to demystifying the change in carbonate rock wettability. Thus, this study extends the understanding of the surface charge development of calcite minerals and provides useful insight into the mineral’s surface charge development. Zeta potential measurements and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of calcite in different fluids of varying composition and salinity were investigated. We have considered both the mixed brine (seawater and reservoir water) and individual salt brine (i.e., NaCl, MgCl2, and CaCl2). The results show that the calcite mineral surface charge is controlled by the composition and salinity of the surrounding fluids. Indeed, we found that monovalent ions have dominant contributions to the total calcite surface charge. The adsorptions of Na+ and Cl– shape the stern layer structure in the first two calcite hydration monolayers. We found that the interplay between the calcite surface affinity to the brine ions and the hydration-free energies are the two critical parameters shaping the final mineral surface charge. We believe that our study provides essential atomic insights into the calcite–brine interfaces and how ions interact with the surface to control the surface charge, which are vital to the quest for wettability control.
Wireless sensor systems and methods, and methods of monitoring structures (2023)

A wireless sensor system includes a passive sensor apparatus configured to be embedded within a concrete structure to monitor infiltration of contaminants into the structure. The sensor apparatus includes charging circuitry and a plurality of sensors respectively configured to measure environmental parameters of the structure which include information related to the infiltration of contaminants into the structure. A reader apparatus is communicatively coupled to the sensor apparatus, the reader apparatus being configured to provide power to the charging circuitry during measurements of the environmental parameters by the sensors. The reader apparatus is configured to independently interrogate individual ones of the sensors to obtain information measured by the individual sensors. The reader apparatus is configured to generate an induction field to energize the sensor apparatus. Information measured by the sensor apparatus is transmitted to the reader apparatus via a response signal that is superimposed on a return induction field generated by the sensor apparatus. Methods of monitoring structural integrity of the structure are also provided.
Index-of-refraction change in optically pumped solid-state laser materials (1989)

Degenerate four-wave mixing measurements were made on several Nd(3+)-doped laser materials by resonantly pumping the Nd(3+) ions. The dominant contribution to the signal under these conditions is associated with the difference in polarizabilities of the Nd(3+) ions in the metastable state versus the ground state. Absolute measurements of the signal strengths imply a laser-induced polarizability change of the order of 0.01-0.05 A(3). The results indicate that, for the case of a single-shot laser amplifier system, the beam distortion induced by this population induced change in the refractive index is comparable with the distortion arising from thermal effects.

Qualitative Analysis Related to Palynological Characterization and Biological Evaluation of Propolis from Prespa National Park (Greece) (2022)

Propolis samples from a geographical part of northwest Greece (Prespa National Park, PNP), which is characterized as a plant endemism center and biodiversity hotspot, were characterized through pollen analysis, chemically analyzed, and biologically evaluated. The majority of the studied propolis showed typical chemical constituents (phenolic acids, flavonoids, and chalcones) of European type, while a sample of Mediterranean-type propolis (rich in diterpenes) was also identified. The palynological characterization was implemented to determine the botanical origin and to explain the chemical composition. The total phenolic content and the DPPH assay showed that the European-type propolis samples possessed strong antioxidant activity (86-91% inhibition at 200 μg/mL). Moreover, promising antibacterial activity of the extracts (MIC values 0.56-1.95 mg/mL) and moderate antifungal activity (MIC values 1.13-2.40 mg/mL) were noticed, while the sample with the highest activity had a significant content in terpenes (Mediterranean type). Propolis samples from the PNP area represent a rich source of antibacterial and antioxidant compounds and confirm the fact that propolis is a significant natural product with potential use for improving human health and stimulating the body's defense. Finally, it is noteworthy that a significant chemical diversity was demonstrated, even in samples from a limited geographical area as this of PNP.
