Genomic heritability of song and condition in wild singing mice (2020)

Abstract Courtship displays are dramatic examples of complex behaviors that vary within and among species. Evolutionary explanations for this diversity rely upon genetic variation, yet the heritability of complex phenotypes is seldom investigated in the field. Here, we estimate genomic heritability of advertisement song and body condition in a wild population of singing mice. The heritability of song exhibits a systematic pattern, with high heritability for spectral characteristics linked to vocal morphology, intermediate heritability for rhythmic patterns, and lower but significant heritability for measures of motivation, like song length and rate. Physiological measures of condition, like hormonal markers of adiposity, exhibited intermediate heritability. Among singing mice, song rate and body condition have a strong phenotypic correlation; our estimate suggests a comparable genetic correlation that merits further study. Our results illustrate how advances in genomics and quantitative genetics can be integrated in free-living species to address longstanding challenges in behavior and evolution.
Isomer-pure synthesis and preparation of FET using thieno[ f , f ']bis[1]benzothiophene (syn, anti) (2005)

The field-effect mobility in two isomers of thieno[<i>f</i>,<i>f</i>']bis[1]benzothiophene was studied as a function of structure. Both regioisomers exhibit substantial mobilities up to 0.12 cm<sup>2</sup>/Vs, a value that is at most one order of magnitude lower than the best known organic transistors based on silicon dioxide gate insulators. The devices based on these materials exhibit another phenomenon, namely a shift in the threshold voltage during operation. This shift differs from usually observed threshold voltage changes in amount and irreversibility. In this paper, we present possible explanations for the observed behavior.
Experimental photonic state engineering and quantum control of two optical qubits (2011)

Optical implementations of qubits play an important role for quantum information science. Photons are ideal carriers of quantum information due to low decoherence rates and are easily controllable by standard off‐the‐shelf components. Over the last decade the degree of control over photonic single‐ and two‐qubit operations has improved substantially, which recently enables the complex state engineering of various multi‐photon states. The control of current four‐ and six‐photon entangled states provides access for the investigation of interesting properties of multi‐particle entangled states and for overcoming the random nature of spontaneous emission sources.

Redistribution of Golgi Stacks and Other Organelles during Mitosis and Cytokinesis in Plant Cells, (2000)

Abstract We have followed the redistribution of Golgi stacks during mitosis and cytokinesis in living tobacco BY-2 suspension culture cells by means of a green fluorescent protein-tagged soybean α-1,2 mannosidase, and correlated the findings to cytoskeletal rearrangements and to the redistribution of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and plastids. In preparation for cell division, when the general streaming of Golgi stacks stops, about one-third of the peripheral Golgi stacks redistributes to the perinuclear cytoplasm, the phragmosome, thereby reversing the ratio of interior to cortical Golgi from 2:3 to 3:2. During metaphase, approximately 20% of all Golgi stacks aggregate in the immediate vicinity of the mitotic spindle and a similar number becomes concentrated in an equatorial region under the plasma membrane. This latter localization, the “Golgi belt,” accurately predicts the future site of cell division, and thus forms a novel marker for this region after the disassembly of the preprophase band. During telophase and cytokinesis, many Golgi stacks redistribute around the phragmoplast where the cell plate is formed. At the end of cytokinesis, the daughter cells have very similar Golgi stack densities. The sites of preferential Golgi stack localization are specific for this organelle and largely exclude mitochondria and plastids, although some mitochondria can approach the phragmoplast. This segregation of organelles is first observed in metaphase and persists until completion of cytokinesis. Maintenance of the distinct localizations does not depend on intact actin filaments or microtubules, although the mitotic spindle appears to play a major role in organizing the organelle distribution patterns. The redistribution of Golgi stacks during mitosis and cytokinesis is consistent with the hypothesis that Golgi stacks are repositioned to ensure equal partitioning between daughter cells as well as rapid cell plate assembly.
Evaluation of a Selective Transport Medium for Gastric Biopsy Specimens To Be Cultured for Helicobacter pylori (1998)

Since the means of culturing Helicobacter pylori may not be available in some laboratories, prolonging the survival of this organism during transportation is a major concern in terms of improving detection rates. A selective transport medium was evaluated for the preservation of H. pylori from 254 gastric biopsy specimens collected from a rural area in China where culturing is not feasible. Gastric biopsy specimens were inoculated in sterile broth consisting of brain heart infusion (BHI) broth, horse serum, and yeast extract supplemented with vancomycin, amphotericin B, and nalidixic acid (VAN). Of the 254 biopsy specimens, 238 were identified by histology to have H. pylori infection. Total rates of recovery of H. pylori from the H. pylori-positive gastric biopsy specimens stored in the BHI-VAN broth ranged from 76 to 46% after storage of specimens for 5 to 9 days. In conclusion, the selective medium is useful for prolonging the survival of H. pylori in gastric biopsy specimens for which immediate culture is not feasible.

Transfusions of least‐incompatible blood with intravenous immunoglobulin plus steroids cover in two patients with rare antibody (2018)

Prophylaxis with IVIG plus steroids and IVIG should be considered as a therapeutic option when transfusion of incompatible units is necessary.
Lymphocyte circulation to the middle ear (1990)

The movement of lymphocytes into the tympanic cavity was studied during an immune response in the middle ear. Sensitized lymphocytes obtained from peripheral blood, peripheral lymph nodes, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer's patches of strain-13 inbred guinea pigs were labelled with 51Cr and injected intravenously into strain-13 recipients undergoing a middle ear immune response. The middle ears and immune organs of the recipients were assayed for radioactivity to detect the infiltration of labelled cells. Lymphocytes from all sources entered the middle ear mucosa in response to immune stimulation at equal levels, suggesting that the middle ear is seeded non-specifically by circulating lymphocytes in response to antigenic stimulation. The infiltration of lymphocytes of mucosal origin into the middle ear cavity is consistent with the participation of the middle ear in a defense system in common with other mucosal organs.
Optimus (2008)

In this paper, we introduce Optimus: an optimizing synthesis compiler for streaming applications. Optimus compiles programs written in a high level streaming language to either software or hardware implementations. The compiler uses a hierarchical compilation strategy that separates concerns between macro- and micro-functional requirements. Macro-functional concerns address how components (modules) are assembled to implement larger more complex applications. Micro-functional issues deal with synthesis issues of the module internals. Optimus thus allows software developers who lack deep hardware design expertise to transparently leverage the advantages of hardware customization without crossing the semantic gap between high level languages and hardware description languages. Optimus generates streaming hardware that achieves on average 40x speedup over our baseline embedded processor for a fraction of the energy. Additionally, our results show that streaming-specific optimizations can further improve performance by 255% and reduce the area requirements by 16% in average. These designs are competitive with Handel-C implementations for some of the same benchmarks.
LTE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR COVERAGE AND DOPPLER REDUCTION IN RANGE TELEMETRY (2017)

A novel approach employing 4G LTE Cellular Technology for Test Range Telemetry is presented. Providing aeronautical mobile telemetry using commercial off the shelf (COTS) cellular equipment poses many challenges, including: Three-dimensional (3D) coverage, need for uninterrupted high data throughputs, and very high Doppler speeds of the Test Articles (TA). Each of these requirements is difficult to meet with a standard cellular approach. We present a novel architecture that provides 3D coverage over the span of a test range, allowing the TA to establish a radio link with base stations that have a manageable Doppler due to the reduced projected TA speed on the radio link line. Preliminary results illustrate that a variety of flight plans can be accommodated with commercial LTE technology by employing LTE’s mobility mechanisms and adding centralized control. The resulting network architecture and Radio Access Network topology allow very high throughputs to be delivered throughout the test range with a judicious placement of base stations.
Universal Connection Matrix: A Breadboard in a Package (2018)

Abstract Process improvements driven by Moore's Law have created disparate processes for different best-in-class components, such as analog sensors, digital processors, RF electronics, and power electronics. Therefore, it becomes impossible to integrate all components of a system into a single System-on-Chip (SoC) giving rise to System-in-Package (SiP) devices which integrate multiple components together at the package level. However, traditional SiP devices are monolithic systems that have a fixed design and require a large investment to update or modify. To avoid the fixed nature of SiP devices and improve the ability to prototype with SiP technology, this paper presents the Universal Connection Matrix (UCM), a breadboard in a package.
A high-performance Cantonese keyword search system (2013)

We present a system for keyword search on Cantonese conversational telephony audio, collected for the IARPA Babel program, that achieves good performance by combining postings lists produced by diverse speech recognition systems from three different research groups. We describe the keyword search task, the data on which the work was done, four different speech recognition systems, and our approach to system combination for keyword search. We show that the combination of four systems outperforms the best single system by 7%, achieving an actual term-weighted value of 0.517.
Association Between Serum 25(OH)D Concentrations and Bone Stress Fractures in Finnish Young Men (2006)

A lower level of serum 25(OH)D concentration may be a generally predisposing element for bone stress fractures. Considering the obvious need of additional vitamin D in prevention of stress fractures, the effects of vitamin D fortification of foods and supplementation will be subjects of interest for future research.
Web Monitoring 2.0: Crossing Streams to Satisfy Complex Data Needs (2009)

Web monitoring 2.0 supports the complex information needs of clients who probe multiple information sources and generate mashups by integrating across these volatile streams. A proxy that aims at satisfying multiple customized client profiles will face a scalability challenge in trying to maximize the number of clients served while at the same time fully satisfying complex client needs. In this paper, we introduce an abstraction of complex execution intervals, a combination of time intervals and information streams, to capture complex client needs. Given some budgetary constraints (e.g., bandwidth), we present offline algorithmic solutions for the problem of maximizing completeness of capturing complex profiles.
On computing the smoothed Wigner distribution (2005)

In this paper, some aspects of the implementation of Wigner Distribution (WD) are discussed. In general, it is necessary to smooth the WD in order to study the underlying nature of the signal. It is shown that the WD smoothed for positivity is equivalent to a spectrogram in terms of time and frequency resolutions. An interpretation of the partially smoothed WD is presented. A FORTRAN subroutine to compute the smoothed WD (SWD) is included. The choice of smoothing parameters for partial smoothing and spectral wrap in the WD are discussed.
(Invited) Smart Monitoring Systems for a Green Future (2014)

MEMS based devices have a huge potential in different monitoring applications ranging from environmental control to medicine. This paper shows principles and advantages of two miniaturized NIR/IR-spectrometers, based on different MEMS technologies. Small size, portability and cost efficiency as well as high accuracy and mechanical robustness make both spectrometers suitable for use in such applications. The paper depicts principles and advantages of both devices. Performance parameters and a selected application, the monitoring of biogas plants to raise their efficiency, are presented.
A Novel Semiconductor-Based Flow Cytometer with Enhanced Light-Scatter Sensitivity for the Analysis of Biological Nanoparticles (2019)

The CytoFLEX is a novel semiconductor-based flow cytometer that utilizes avalanche photodiodes, wavelength-division multiplexing, enhanced optics, and diode lasers to maximize light capture and minimize optical and electronic noise. Due to an increasing interest in the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as disease biomarkers, and the growing desire to use flow cytometry for the analyses of biological nanoparticles, we assessed the light-scatter sensitivity of the CytoFLEX for small-particle detection. We found that the CytoFLEX can fully resolve 70 nm polystyrene and 98.6 nm silica beads by violet side scatter (VSSC). We further analyzed the detection limit for biological nanoparticles, including viruses and EVs, and show that the CytoFLEX can detect viruses down to 81 nm and EVs at least as small as 65 nm. Moreover, we could immunophenotype EV surface antigens, including directly in blood and plasma, demonstrating the double labeling of platelet EVs with CD61 and CD9, as well as triple labeling with CD81 for an EV subpopulation in one donor. In order to assess the refractive indices (RIs) of the viruses and EVs, we devised a new method to inversely calculate the RIs using the intensity vs. size data together with Mie-theory scatter efficiencies scaled to reference-particle measurements. Each of the viruses tested had an equivalent RI, approximately 1.47 at 405 nm, which suggests that flow cytometry can be more broadly used to easily determine virus sizes. We also found that the RIs of EVs increase as the particle diameters decrease below 150 nm, increasing from 1.37 for 200 nm EVs up to 1.61 for 65 nm EVs, expanding the lower range of EVs that can be detected by light scatter. Overall, we demonstrate that the CytoFLEX has an unprecedented level of sensitivity compared to conventional flow cytometers. Accordingly, the CytoFLEX can be of great benefit to virology and EV research, and will help to expand the use of flow cytometry for minimally invasive liquid biopsies by allowing for the direct analysis of antigen expression on biological nanoparticles within patient samples, including blood, plasma, urine and bronchoalveolar lavages.
193-nm chemically amplified positive resists based on poly(norbornene-alt-maleic anhydride) with plasticizing additives (2000)

The lithographic performance and environmental stability of 193 nm chemically amplified resists based on norbornene t- butyl ester/maleic anhydride copolymer were investigated. Tert-butyl (t-Bu) cholate was used as a plasticizing additive to control the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the resists. The resist softening temperature was decreased from &gt; 180 degrees Celsius to 150 degrees Celsius by the addition of t-Bu cholate. The resist sensitivity and resolution were almost unchanged, when post-exposure bake (PEB) temperatures were below the resist softening temperature. High environmental stability of 1 hour was achieved by optimizing the resist softening temperature, because high temperature baking at around the resist softening temperature reduced the amount of residual solvent, and thus made the resist absorb basic airborne contaminants less readily. The environmental stability of the optimized resist was almost the same as that of 248 nm acetal type resist, and it was sufficient for practical use.
Chemical Reactions in the Processing of MoSi2 Carbon Compacts (1993)

Hot‐pressing of MoSi 2 powders with carbon at high temperatures reduces the siliceous grain boundary phase in the resultant compact. The chemical reactions in this process were examined using the Knudsen cell technique. A 2.3 wt% oxygen MoSi 2 powder and a 0.59 wt% oxygen MoSi 2 powder, both with additions of 2 wt% carbon, were examined. The reduction of the siliceous grain boundary phase was examined at 1350 K and the resultant P(SiO)/P(CO) rations interpreted in terms of the SiO (g) and CO (g) isobars on the Si‐C‐O predominance diagram. The MoSi 2 + carbon mixtures were then heated at the hot‐pressing temperature of 2100 K. Large weigh losses were observed and could be correlated with the formation of a low‐melting eutectic and the formation and vaporization of SiC.
Bio-inspired, side-on attachment of a ruthenium photosensitizer to an iron hydrogenase active site model (2006)

The first ruthenium-diiron complex [(mu-pdt)Fe2(CO)5{PPh2(C6H4CCbpy)}Ru(bpy)2]2+ 1 (pdt = propyldithiolate, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) is described in which the photoactive ruthenium trisbipyridyl unit is linked to a model of the iron hydrogenase active site by a ligand directly attached to one of the iron centers. Electrochemical and photophysical studies show that the light-induced MLCT excited state of the title complex is localized towards the potential diiron acceptor unit. However, the relatively mild potential required for the reduction of the acetylenic bipyridine together with the easily oxidized diiron portion leads to a reductive quenching of the excited state, instead. This process results in a transiently oxidized diiron unit which may explain the surprisingly high light sensitivity of complex 1.
Wavefront sensing for 3D particle metrology and velocimetry (2006)

We present the application of wavefront sensing to 3-dimensional particle metrology for measuring the 3-component velocity vector field in a fluid flow across a volume. The technique is based upon measuring the wavefront scattered by a tracer particle from which the 3-dimensional tracer location can be calculated. Using a temporally resolved sequence of 3-dimensional particle locations the velocity vector field is obtained. In this paper we focus on an anamophic technique to capture the data required to measure the wavefront. Data is presented from a reconstruction of the phase of the wavefront as well as from a more pragmatic approach that examines only the defocus of that wavefront. The methods are optically efficient and robust and can be applied to both coherent and incoherent light in contrast to classical interferometric methods. A focus of this paper has been the filtering techniques in order to reliably extract the particle images from the overall image field. The resolution and repeatability of the depth (or range) measurements have been quantified experimentally using a single mode fiber source representing a tracer particle. A first proof of principle experiment using this technique for 3-dimensional PIV on a sparsely seeded gas phase flow is also presented.
Advancing the Understanding and Measurement of Workplace Stress in Remote Information Workers from Passive Sensors and Behavioral Data (2022)

Workplace stress has been increasing in recent decades and has worsened by the unique demands imposed by COVID-19 and the new remote/hybrid work settings. High-stress working conditions can be detrimental to the health and wellness of workers and can lead to significant business costs in terms of productivity loss and medical expenses. An essential step toward managing stress involves finding comfortable ways to sense workers and recognizing stress as soon as it happens. This work explores the potential value of using pervasive sensors such as keyboards, webcams, and behavioral data such as calendar and e-mail activity to passively assess individual stress levels of work in real-life. In particular, we collected a large corpus of such data from 46 remote information workers over one month and asked them to self-report their stress levels and other relevant factors several times a day. Analysis of the data demonstrates that passive sensors can effectively detect both triggers and manifestations of workplace stress and that having access to prior data of the worker is critical for developing well-performing stress recognition models. Furthermore, we provide qualitative feedback capturing workers' preferences in workplace stress monitoring.
