A study on double hollow electrode discharge and the enhanced performance for electric discharge lamps (2006)

We invented a double hollow electrode lamp (DHEL), applied an electron oscillation effect and measured its I?V curve in dc driving to evaluate the electrical characteristics. The volume discharge of this lamp showed an abnormal glow characteristic. Based on these results, we made a 9-channel flat panel lamp and confirmed the possibility of a parallel operation. In order to evaluate the enhanced performance of the DHEL, we compared it with a single hollow triode lamp and a diode lamp (DL). We measured the breakdown voltage, tube current and IR intensity of these three types of lamps. The DHEL showed the lowest breakdown voltage among the three lamps and a higher tube current than that of the DL. The IR intensity of the DHEL was more efficient than that of the DL; the enhanced quantity of efficiency was 11.8% at 0.922?W.

In vivoquantification of the shear modulus of the human Achilles tendon during passive loading using shear wave dispersion analysis (2016)

The shear wave velocity dispersion was analyzed in the Achilles tendon (AT) during passive dorsiflexion using a phase velocity method in order to obtain the tendon shear modulus (C55). Based on this analysis, the aims of the present study were (i) to assess the reproducibility of the shear modulus for different ankle angles, (ii) to assess the effect of the probe locations, and (iii) to compare results with elasticity values obtained with the supersonic shear imaging (SSI) technique. The AT shear modulus (C55) consistently increased with the ankle dorsiflexion (N = 10, p &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, the technique showed a very good reproducibility (all standard error of the mean values &lt;10.7 kPa and all coefficient of variation (CV) values ≤0.05%). In addition, independently from the ankle dorsiflexion, the shear modulus was significantly higher in the proximal location compared to the more distal one. The shear modulus provided by SSI was always lower than C55 and the difference increased with the ankle dorsiflexion. However, shear modulus values provided by both methods were highly correlated (R = 0.84), indicating that the conventional shear wave elastography technique (SSI technique) can be used to compare tendon mechanical properties across populations. Future studies should determine the clinical relevance of the shear wave dispersion analysis, for instance in the case of tendinopathy or tendon tear.
Dimensions of Sociolinguistic Landscapes in Europe (2015)

Though Moscow is a multicultural and multilingual city, Russian language plays a dominant role in its public space. In all public signs and billboards we notice the presence of Russian. This role is mostly determined by language policy, but in commercial advertising English language, anglicisms and loanwords are very common. By the way in the linguistic landscape of Moscow Italian language is more and more evident. It is also very popular as language of instruction and it is very common both in public schools and in private courses. The reason is probably due to the important commercial and culture relations existing between Russian Federation and Italy. Italian language is used in some particular fields: cuisine, fashion, design, music. The meaning of Italian culture, conveyed through language, is often associated to stereotypes and cliché (pasta, pizza, Italian food in general and mafia), but in most cases it reflects positive values, as beauty, elegance and creativity. Most Italian words we found in social and commercial communication are symbols of a positive and healthy way of life, of a prestigious culture and tradition, of a productive world.\nAs noticed in the mapping geo-linguistic work, conducted all over the world by Carla Bagna and Monica Barni and the Linguistic Observatory of the Centre of Excellence at the University of Siena, and presented in some important works about Italian language in public and social communication, “in the global market of languages each idiom is present as a system of language-culture-society and economy and therefore its role can be measured on the base of the cultural forms it produces.” (Bagna, Barni 2007). Though my work is much more limited in corpus and research materials, it is very interesting to notice that it reaches the same conclusions.
An study on the influence of collagen fiber directions in TAVs performance using FEM (2021)

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) or Replacement (TAVR) is a promising treatment for aortic valve stenosis, consisting of a procedure to replace a damaged native aortic valve by a bioprosthetic one. This replacement valve control the flow of blood using leaflets that are similar to the ones of a native aortic valve. Commonly manufactured using bovine or porcine pericardium, it is a tissue histologically composed of collagen fibers embedded into a nearly-isotropic matrix, where their distribution makes the pericardium behave as an anisotropic hyperelastic material. Because of such complicated behavior, bioprosthetic pericardium valves are, as expected, sensitive to the distribution and orientation of these fibers in such device. Therefore, the objective of this work is a thorough systematic study on the influence of these fibers' distribution. First, a Finite Element model of a bioprosthetic valve is generated; then, a material routine to accurately describe the behavior of pericardium is implemented in a commercial software package; in addition, a dedicated algorithm to specify the direction of fibers is developed. Finally, a systematic study on the influence that fiber orientations have on the overall behavior of the TAV is performed. As a result of this study, two extreme behaviors are highlighted depending on the preferential orientation of collagen fibers; namely, one with fibers in circumferential direction and the opposite with fibers in an axial orientation. Then, it is concluded that the behavior of fibers in circumferential direction is very sensitive to small variations of the orientation angle, whereas such orientation is not as determining when the aim is to achieve a behavior near to the one corresponding with axial orientation.
An Integrated Highly Parallel Architecture for Image Reconstruction (1988)

The large amount of information and computations is a critical problem in image processing. In this paper we show a highly oarallel method to do image reconstruction which performs at real-time, using an asynchronous cellular array. The highly parallel architecture we propose is novel, its main characteristic is the message communication mechanism based upon message routing and mailbox principles.After introducing the image reconstruction problem, we present the main reconstructJon techniques and the sequential algorithms. We explain how to process these algorithms on a network. We describe this new integrated parallel architecture, its originalities and the system performing the whole reconstruction. We present the efficiency of this parallel Image reconstruction method and the performance of the network.

Geometric basis-vector selection methods and subpixel target detection as applied to hyperspectral imagery (2004)

In this paper, we compare three basis-vector selection methods as applied to subpixel target detection. This is a continuation of previous research in which a similar comparison was performed based on an AVIRIS image. Our goal is to find out to what extent our previous observations apply more broadly to other images, more specifically, a HYDICE image used in this paper. Our target detection approach is based on generating a radiance target region using a physical model to generate radiance spectra as observed under a wide range of atmospheric, illumination., and viewing conditions. The advantage of this approach is that the resulting target detection is invariant to those changing conditions. For the purpose of target detection, we use a structured model to describe each image spectra as a linear combination of the target and background basis-vectors, and then we apply a matched subspace detector. Finally, we find ROC curves to describe the relationship between the detection rate (DR) and the false alarm rate (FAR). Due to a large number of cases considered, we use summary metrics to represent our results. The obtained results are quite different from those obtained in (Bajorski et al., 2004) for the AVIRIS image. The best method for generating the background basis vectors in the AVIRIS image was the MaxD method, while the SVD method proved to be best for the HYDICE image used in this paper. Further research is needed to find out the reasons for these differences. It is not surprising that different methods are optimal for different types of data. However, it would be useful to be able to recognize the optimal method without assuming knowledge of the targets in the image
Nonchemical Methods for Postharvest Control of Botrytis cinerea on Cut Roses (1989)

Abstract Cold storage of cut ‘Sonia’, ‘Royalty’, and ‘Gold Rush’ roses ( Rosa hybrida L.) at reduced humidities (50% to 80% RH) significantly decreased the severity of Botrytis cinerea Pers. infections that developed from naturally occurring or experimentally applied inocula, compared to storage at saturated humidity. The disease reduction was attributed to the absence of free water on the petals. Wrapping the flowers in cellophane sleeves before reduced-humidity storage decreased water loss but also impaired disease control. No deleterious effects of reduced-humidity storage on poststorage fresh weight gain or visual quality were observed, whether the wrapped flowers are stored with or without vase solutions. Two biological control agents, the yeast Exophiala jeanselmei and a Coryneform-type bacterium, controlled B. cinerea infections during storage at 2.5°C when applied 0 to 48 hr after inoculation with the pathogen. The level of disease control achieved with the biological antagonists during storage was comparable to that achieved with the fungicide vinclozolin, but the biological antagonists did not control poststorage disease development as well.
Modified Hyperbranched Polymers for Fluorescence Sensing Applications (2012)

Abstract : During this research, this study employed commercially available hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) modified with aliphatic, perfluorinated, and fluorescent moieties to yield polyesters with controlled end group functionality. Similar polymers have migrated to the surface of cast polymer films when incorporated as a minor constituent of a linear polymer film. The polymers were incorporated into polyacrylonitrile and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) matrices and were shown to function as fluorescence sensors. The HBPs transported the fluorescent groups to the fiber mat surface where they interacted with mercury (Hg(II)) or cytochrome c as the analyte. Sensitivities were modest and showed linear response with Hg(II) as the quenching agent and nonlinear response with cytochrome c. This work suggests that HBPs may provide a broadly accessible scaffold for the introduction of fluorescence-sensing elements in nonreactive polymer matrices.
Surfactant Concentration Regime in Miniemulsion Polymerization for the Formation of MMA Nanodroplets by High-Pressure Homogenization (2011)

This article focuses on the adequate surfactant concentration regime in which MMA droplets are stabilized sufficiently against coalescence during high-pressure homogenization but still no diffusion processes from droplets to micelles take place in the polymerization. Monomer miniemulsions with different surfactant concentrations were prepared with different energy inputs. Emulsions result that depend either on the surfactant concentration or on the energy input of the homogenization process. For both cases, the occupancy of the interface is compared as a function of the droplet size. It is shown that the surfactant concentration needed for the stabilization of a specified interface area decreases with increasing droplet size. For the dependence of droplet size on the energy input, it is shown that more surfactant can be applied before emulsion polymerization starts, but the applicable surfactant concentration is lower than the cmc and also depends on droplet size.
The Presence of Anti-Neutrophil Antibodies Reflects Clinical and Genetic Heterogeneity Within Inflammatory Bowel Disease (1998)

A detailed investigation of the relationship between anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) status, HLA genotype, and clinical patterns of inflammatory bowel disease was carried out, involving 236 European patients resident in the United Kingdom [120 had ulcerative colitis (UC), 116 had Crohn's disease (CD)]. ANCA status was determined on coded plasma samples in Los Angeles using a two-stage assay [fixed neutrophil enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence], and HLA genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction. The results provide evidence that ANCA reflect clinical and genetic heterogeneity within the inflammatory bowel diseases. In the UC patients, 78.3% were ANCA positive [64.2 perinuclear (pANCA)], but only 46.5% CD patients were ANCA positive (19.3% pANCA). Furthermore, mean ELISA binding was significantly lower in CD (14.5% +/- 18.8% versus 40.5% +/- 41.0% in UC, p = 2.31 x 10(-9)). Only 15 CD samples, all from patients with colonic disease, displayed ELISA > 20%; and the six CD patients with highest ELISA binding had clinical features very similar to ulcerative colitis. Moreover, in UC, significant relationships between ANCA status and genotype were noted. Thus, 92.7% of patients with the DR3 DQ2 TNF2 haplotype were ANCA positive [p = 0.03 versus DR3 DQ2 TNF2-negative patients (73.9%)]. ELISA binding was increased in DR3 DQ2 TNF2-positive patients (56.0 versus 35.7%, p = 0.02). In this population of UC, ANCA was not associated with DR2, DR4, or clinical pattern. These data emphasize the many factors that need to be considered in genetic marker studies in inflammatory bowel disease. Extensive disease heterogeneity, ethnicity, and methodological differences in ANCA detection are all pertinent.
Design of Nanostructured Protective Coatings with a Sensing Function (2021)

Nanostructured multilayered coatings for metals are prepared to simultaneously provide a function of corrosion mitigation and of corrosion sensing for copper substrates. Silica nanocapsules, embedded in one layer of the coating, are used as a host for a corrosion inhibitor and as a sensor, which detect changes of pH value and release inhibitors via an optical signal. Furthermore, another layer in the coating exists in a nanonetwork loaded with another corrosion inhibitor, which is impregnated with a hydrophobic polymer. We demonstrate that a specific arrangement of layers leads to an optimum anticorrosion and sensing performance while the sensing signal can be prolonged for a long time. It is the first time that the fluorophore detecting corrosion is conjugated to the nanosensor and that nanofibers and nanocapsules are used simultaneously to load and release corrosion inhibitors for anticorrosion applications.
Quasi-Orthogonal Sparse Superposition Codes (2019)

We introduce a new family of error correction codes based on sparse superposition called Quasi- Orthogonal} Sparse Superposition Codes (QO-SSC). The core of QO-SSC is a special structure of the SSC projection matrix which is obtained by concatenation of orthogonal submatrices. Concrete examples of QO-SCC constructions based on Zadoff- Chu sequences and Kerdock bent sequences are provided. A low-complexity iterative successive interference cancellation algorithm is proposed for QO-SSC decoding. Performance evaluations show that QO-SSC is an efficient solution for short- packet transmission at low signal-to-noise ratios, as it achieves lower block error rate than conventional coded modulation schemes, e.g., QPSK- modulated polar codes. As a further advantage, QO-SSC features a low PAPR when transmitted using OFDM waveforms.
Tribological behaviour analysis of hydrogenated and nonhydrogenated DLC lubricated by oils with and without additives (2013)

ABSTRACT Diamond‐like carbon (DLC) is an essential element of friction reduction made major by the desire to reduce energy consumption for environmental and economic reasons. The contribution of the DLC depends on its tribological behaviour. The analysis of the wear of DLC in DLC/steel contact is important because of the high exposure to the wear of coated parts and the low degree of mastery of behaviour of DLC in the lubricants studied and optimised for steel. In this study, we have analysed the tribological behaviour of hydrogenated DLC (a‐C:H) and nonhydrogenated DLC (ta‐C) under various lubrication conditions. Oils with and without additives were used. The results show that the wear of a‐C:H is considerably lower than that of ta‐C in base oils, and in the investigated oil with additives, the wear of ta‐C is substantially reduced.

Effect of Blanching by Ohmic Heating on the Osmotic Dehydration Behavior of Apple Cubes (2009)

The effect of blanching by ohmic heating (OH) on the damage to apple tissues and subsequent osmotic dehydration kinetics was investigated. Apple cubes were heated ohmically to various blanching scales. Heating temperature and duration were, respectively, 60–95 ± 2°C and 0–6 min. After cooling, the treated samples were put into sucrose solutions (70 °B) for the osmotic dehydration (OD). The equilibrium state of osmotic dehydration was estimated using the Azuara model. Ohmic heating leads, even for short treatments, to significant changes in the cellular structure of apples and to the enhancement of mass transfer during osmotic dehydration.
Integrated 100-W polarized narrow linewidth thulium fiber MOPA system (2012)

We report on a Tm:fiber master oscillator power amplifier system producing 100 W output power, with &gt;10 dB polarization extinction ratio and diffraction-limited beam quality. To our knowledge, this is the highest polarized output power from an integrated Tm:fiber laser. The oscillator uses polarization maintaining (PM) single mode fiber with 10/130 &mu;m core/cladding diameters, and the amplifier uses large mode area PM fiber with 25/400 &mu;m core/cladding diameters. The oscillator and amplifier are pumped using 793 nm diodes spliced with pump combiners, and the oscillator is spliced to the amplifier via a mode field adaptor.
Proteomic Analysis of Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (2007)

To better understand the molecular changes that occur in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM), we employed antibody-based protein microarrays to compare patterns of protein expression between untreated WM and normal bone marrow controls. Protein expression was defined as a >2-fold or 1.3-fold change in at least 67% of the tumor samples. Proteins up-regulated by >2-fold included Ras family proteins, such as Rab-4 and p62DOK, and Rho family proteins, such as CDC42GAP and ROKalpha. Other proteins up-regulated by >1.3-fold included cyclin-dependent kinases, apoptosis regulators, and histone deacetylases (HDAC). We then compared the samples of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic WM and showed similar protein expression signatures, indicating that the dysregulation of signaling pathways occurs early in the disease course. Three proteins were different by >2-fold in symptomatic versus asymptomatic, including the heat shock protein HSP90. Elevated protein expression was confirmed by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Functional significance was validated by the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of proliferation using specific HDAC and HSP90 inhibitors. This study, therefore, identifies, for the first time, multiple novel proteins that are dysregulated in WM, which both enhance our understanding of disease pathogenesis and represent targets of novel therapeutics.
TLM: a trench leakage monitor for a four megabit DRAM technology (1990)

An array of substrate-plate trench-capacitor dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cells is used for quantification of parasitic leakage mechanisms, silicon defects, and device parametrics. Parasitic devices aid process characterization, parametric cross-correlations, and technology/device design-point evaluation. Used in conjunction with a functional monitor, the trench leakage monitor, is found to be a valuable semiconductor process-development vehicle to achieve functionality and cell-retention yield for a 4-Mb DRAM CMOS technology.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
