Effect of Solid Electrolyte Distribution in Composite Cathode on Electrochemical Properties of Solid-State Li-Air Batteries (2014)

Li-air batteries have increasing attention as energy sources for automotive application due to high theoretical energy density over 3000 Wh/kg which is about 10 times greater than that of Li-ion battery [1-2]. Typical nonaqueous Li-air batteries used organic liquid electrolyte and oxygen from the air in atmosphere as active cathode material. Oxygen can be reduced and oxidized at three phase boundary in electrolyte filled-porous electrode. Excess organic liquid electrolyte may be needed to fill porous electrode and occupy nearly 70% of total weight, which makes the specific energy density of practical Li-air batteries reduced [3]. Recently, the studies for solid-state Li-air batteries with solid electrolyte have been reported [4]. Using solid electrolytes such as polymer and inorganic ionic conductors makes it possible to control proper amount in composite cathode and keeps the electrolyte from being squeezed out compared with organic liquid electrolyte. However, lithium ion conductivity of solid electrolyte is lower than that of liquid one and it is difficult to make a good interface between solid electrolyte and carbon in composite cathode. The design and internal structure in composite cathode is important to maintain the performance of solid-state Li-air batteries. In this study, the electrochemical properties and pore structure in various composite cathodes were measured from solid-state Li-air batteries. PEO (polyethylene oxide)-based electrolyte containing LiTFSI (lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide) was used as a solid electrolyte in composite cathode. The mixture of carbon and PEO was directly coated on LATP (Ohara Inc.) by screen printing method. Solid-state Li-air cell was assembled by stacking Li metal, interlayer, LATP with composite cathode and GDL (gas diffusion layer), respectively. The AC impedance was conducted to get internal resistance in fresh composite cathode at non faradic condition. The activation energy for each resistance components was calculated by fitting the impedance spectra. The activation energy of R inf (interface resistance between LATP and cathode) is higher than those of R el (resistance of LATP) and R ion (resistance of Li ion transfer in cathode), which indicates kinetic barrier for Li ion transfer between LATP and solid electrolyte in cathode. We also have studied the change of internal resistance in composite cathode with various carbons and electrolyte composition and will present our investigation. References [1] K. M. Abraham, Z.

p53-Dependent S-Phase Damage Checkpoint and Pronuclear Cross Talk in Mouse Zygotes with X-Irradiated Sperm (2002)

One difficulty in analyzing the damage response is that the effect of damage itself and that of cellular response are hard to distinguish in irradiated cells. In mouse zygotes, damage can be introduced by irradiated sperm, while damage response can be studied in the unirradiated maternal pronucleus. We have analyzed the p53-dependent damage responses in irradiated-sperm mouse zygotes and found that a p53-responsive reporter was efficiently activated in the female pronucleus. [(3)H]thymidine labeling experiments indicated that irradiated-sperm zygotes were devoid of G(1)/S arrest, but pronuclear DNA synthesis was suppressed equally in male and female pronuclei. p53(-/-) zygotes lacked this suppression, which was corrected by microinjection of glutathione S-transferase-p53 fusion protein. In contrast, p21(-/-) zygotes exhibited the same level of suppression upon fertilization by irradiated sperm. About a half of the 6-Gy-irradiated-sperm zygotes managed to synthesize a full DNA content by prolonging S phase, while the other half failed to do so. Regardless of the DNA content, all the zygotes cleaved to become two-cell-stage embryos. These results revealed the presence of p53-dependent pronuclear cross talk and a novel function of p53 in the S-phase DNA damage checkpoint of mouse zygotes.
Is there a "top-down" component of crowding in peripheral and amblyopic vision? (2011)

Crowding represents an important bottleneck for object recognition in peripheral and amblyopic vision; however there is intense debate about the nature and locus of crowding. The present study evaluated the role of top-down influences by comparing crowding when the target and flankers were drawn either from the same set of Sloan letters, or from different sets of Sloan letters, while maintaining the same target-flanker complexity. When target and flankers are drawn from the same set of letters, crowding in normal peripheral vision is characterized by substantial flanker substitutions, in that observers frequently report a flanker, especially the outer flanker, as the target. Surprisingly, the flanker substitution effect is not evident in the central vision of most strabismic amblyopes. For these observers the rate of reporting the flankers and reporting other unused letters is similar. Crowding, and the flanker substitution effect are both greatly reduced when the target and flankers have opposite polarities. Importantly, when target and flankers are drawn from different sets of letters, crowding is markedly reduced in peripheral vision, and in the central vision of the minority of amblyopes who showed flanker substitution. Our results suggest a top-down effect on crowding which inhibits flanker substitution. This top-down effect is eliminated when the target and flankers have opposite polarities. With opposite target-flanker polarities crowding becomes equally weak regardless of whether target and flankers are from the same letter set or not.
Apoptotic pulsed dendritic cells induce a protective immune response against Toxoplasma gondii (2008)

Infection with the intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii may cause severe sequelae in foetuses and life-threatening neuropathy in immunocompromised patients. We recently reported that vaccination with T. gondii-pulsed dendritic cells induces protective humoral and cellular immune responses against this intracellular pathogen in CBA/J mice. We assessed the feasibility of using a nonlive vaccine, by inducing the apoptosis of T. gondii-pulsed dendritic cells before injecting them into mice. Apoptosis was induced by culturing cells to confluence. We investigated whether these apoptotic T. gondii-pulsed dendritic cells elicited an immune response in vivo. Some studies have shown that immunization with apoptotic cells leads to the activation of innate and adaptive immune mechanisms. Our results are consistent with apoptotic cells having immunomodulatory properties in a model of parasite infection. We showed that the adoptive transfer of T. gondii-pulsed apoptotic dendritic cells elicited humoral and cellular Toxoplasma-specific immune responses with a Th1/Th2 profile, and conferred specific protection. The protective immune response induced was independent of inducible HSP70 production by apoptotic dendritic cells.
Characterization of Micro-Bump C4 Interconnects for Si-Carrier SOP Applications (2006)

This paper describes yield, contact resistance, and preliminary reliability test results on micro-bump C4 interconnects in modules containing Si-chips and Si-carriers. Modules containing eutectic PbSn or SnCu bump solders were fabricated with high yield, with similar interconnect contact resistances for both solders. The contact resistance and reliability test results to date suggest that reliable, high-current, high-density bump interconnections can be achieved for Si-carrier technology
Adhesion and removal behavior of nanoscale bubble on resist film surface for immersion lithography (2005)

Various sizes of concave square patterns are used for microscale bubble adhesion and removal investigation in a water/methanol mixture solution. As decreasing the surface energy of the solution, the micro bubbles are more likely to remove from the square patterns. However, the micro bubble is less likely to remove as decreasing the square size of patterns. The threshold concentration of water/methanol solution for bubble removal can be determined experimentally. Based on the surface energy analysis, the adhesion and removal mechanisms of micro bubble can be explained. The nanoscale bubbles adhered on an ArF excimer resist surface can be observed clearly by using atomic force microscope (AFM). The growth of bubbles on the ArF excimer resist surface can be imaged. By the AFM technique, nanoscale bubble can be divided into some minute bubbles on the ArF resist surface under applying certain force about 5nN. The condensation nature of nanoscale bubbles is discussed.
Impact of conductance drift on multi-PCM synaptic architectures (2018)

In-memory computing with nanoscale memristive devices such as phase-change memory (PCM) has emerged as an alternative to conventional von Neumann systems to train deep neural networks (DNN) where a synaptic weight is represented by the device conductance. However, PCM devices exhibit temporal evolution of the conductance values referred to as the conductance drift, which poses challenges for maintaining synaptic weights reliably. Based on the mean behavior of 10,000 GST-based PCM devices, we observe that the drift coefficient is dependent on the conductance value. Moreover, we show that PCM drift is re-initialized and the drift history is erased after the application of even partial SET pulses. This is regardless of how much the device has drifted. With models capturing these features, we show that drift has a detrimental impact on training DNNs, but drift resilience can be significantly improved with a recently proposed multi-PCM synaptic architecture.
906 Tympanic Membrane Behavior and Sensitivity Evaluation in High-Speed Elevator (2004)

The ear obstructive feeling in the ear is generated by the pressure change in the high-speed elevator, and people feel discomfort. Ear obstructive feeling is generated by tympanic behavior for the pressure change. This paper remarks on tympanic membrane behavior for pressure change and psychological characteristic for tympanic membrane behavior. For this purpose the illumination difference method is used for tympanic membrane behavior measurement. The sensitivity evaluation according to the questionnaires is carried out at the same time. The experiment is carried out under various pressure changes. It is clarified that the relationship between elevator factors (pressure change and speed of the elevator) and ear obstructive feeling. The relationship between tympanic membrane behavior and sensitivity was clarified and tympanic membrane behavior was expressed by mathematical model.
JTM’s Tumor immunology goes broad: announcing the Immunobiology and Immunotherapy section (2013)

For the last four years the Journal of Translational Medicine (JTM) has hosted the Section of Tumor Immunology and Biological Cancer Therapy. Under the editorial leadership of Dr. Pedro Romero and with the direct support of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), this section enriched the communication between basic immunological sciences and the clinical investigation arena in oncology. We are re-launching this Section of JTM, now entitled Immunobiology and Immunotherapy, succeeding Tumor Immunology and Biological Cancer Therapy. While aiming to build on the editorial success and focus of its predecessor, this novel Section will have a broader scope, hosting translational immunology topics pertaining to immunotherapy beyond oncology, including disciplines such as inflammation, autoimmunity, transplantation, metabolic disorders and others. As the vision of this re-launched Section of JTM broadens up to serve a communication need for translational immunologists involved with immunotherapy irrespectively of the therapeutic area, a novel and focused journal entitled Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer (JITC) has just been initiated, sponsored by the SITC.

Hostility in adolescents and adults: a genome-wide association study of the Young Finns (2011)

Hostility is a multidimensional personality trait with changing expression over the life course. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the components of hostility in a population-based sample of Finnish men and women for whom a total of 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were available through direct or in silico genotyping. Hostility dimensions (anger, cynicism and paranoia) were assessed at four time points over a 15-year interval (age range 15–30 years at phase 1 and 30–45 years at phase 4) in 982–1780 participants depending on the hostility measure. Few promising areas from chromosome 14 at 99 cM (top SNPs rs3783337, rs7158754, rs3783332, rs2181102, rs7159195, rs11160570, rs941898, P values <3.9 × 10−8 with nearest gene Enah/Vasp-like (EVL)) were found suggestively to be related to paranoia and from chromosome 7 at 86 cM (top SNPs rs802047, rs802028, rs802030, rs802026, rs802036, rs802025, rs802024, rs802032, rs802049, rs802051, P values <6.9 × 10−7 with nearest gene CROT (carnitine O-octanoyltransferase)) to cynicism, respectively. Some shared suggestive genetic influence for both paranoia and cynicism was also found from chromosome 17 at 2.8 cM (SNPs rs12936442, rs894664, rs6502671, rs7216028) and chromosome 22 at 43 cM (SNPs rs7510759, rs7510924, rs7290560), with nearest genes RAP1 GTPase activating protein 2 (RAP1GAP2) and KIAA1644, respectively. These suggestive associations did not replicate across all measurement times, which warrants further study on these SNPs in other populations.
An Anytime Algorithm for Camera-Based Character Recognition (2013)

In a scene image, some characters are difficult to recognize and some others are recognized easily. Such difficult characters usually make the processing time long while easy characters are recognized in a short time. In this paper, we propose a system which recognizes each character with a proper cost for the difficulty. Through the process, easy characters are recognized early and difficult ones are recognized late. This is a desired property of an anytime algorithm that the recognition accuracy does not decrease as the time increases. In order to realize it, we propose a method which splits the recognition process into several times and accumulates the recognition results and extracted features. We also discuss what is required to realize the anytime algorithm for the scene character recognition task. Experiments reveal that the proposed method obtains recognition results of easy characters earlier than the conventional method.

Compact, Low-Profile and Robust Textile Antennas With Improved Bandwidth for Easy Garment Integration (2020)

In this paper, a compact and low-profile proximity-fed textile-based antenna with robust performance and improved bandwidth is proposed for body-area network (BAN) applications. The employed proximity-fed antenna differs from traditional wearable antennas in the sense that it not only exhibits improved bandwidth but also a reduced footprint. The proposed antenna also possesses an extreme robustness when subject to structural deformation and human body loading effects. In addition, the impact of the uncertainty in the dielectric constant (a characteristic associated with most textile material systems) is investigated for the first time. Experimental results show that the proposed proximity-fed antenna outperforms wearable antennas that employ more conventional feeding methodologies. The antenna was fabricated using two different flexible textile-based material systems (i.e., one printed and one embroidered). The advantages and disadvantages of each fabrication approach are discussed. The proposed antenna is characterized in free-space and on a human body, yielding robust performance in both cases.
Synthesis of 7-Substituted Benzolactam-V8s and Their Selectivity for Protein Kinase C Isozymes (2002)

[reaction: see text] Condensation of L-valine benzyl ester toluenesulfonic acid salt with a substituted cyclohexadione followed by aromatization with the assistance of NBS provides an N-aryl L-valine benzyl ester. This intermediate is converted into 7-substituted benzolactam-V8s using an asymmetric Strecker reaction as the key step. The target molecules show a different pattern of isozyme selectivity relative to the 8-substituted benzolactam-V8s.
A Markov model for IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with GTS transmissions and heterogeneous traffic in non-saturation mode (2010)

In wireless personal area networks such as wireless body area sensor networks, stations or devices have different bandwidth requirements and thus create heterogeneous traffic. For such networks, the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC can be used in the beacon-enabled mode which supports guaranteed time slot (GTS) allocation for time-critical data transmissions. This paper presents a general discrete-time Markov chain model for the IEEE 802.15.4-based networks taking into account the slotted CSMA/CA and GTS transmission phenomena together in heterogeneous traffic scenario and non-saturated condition. For this purpose, the standard GTS allocation scheme is modified. For each non-identical device, the Markov model is solved and the average service time and the service utilization factor are analyzed in the non-saturation mode. The utilization factor is higher for the higher data rate devices. The GTS transmission scheme also results in higher utilization for the devices. The analysis is validated by simulations using Network Simulator (NS) version 2.33.
Binocular Summation of Contrast Remains Intact in Strabismic Amblyopia (2007)

purpose. Strabismic amblyopia is typically associated with several visual deficits, including loss of contrast sensitivity in the amblyopic eye and abnormal binocular vision. Binocular summation ratios (BSRs) are usually assessed by comparing contrast sensitivity for binocular stimuli (sens BIN) with that measured in the good eye alone (sens GOOD), giving BSR = sens BIN/sens GOOD. This calculation provides an operational index of clinical binocular function, but does not assess whether neuronal mechanisms for binocular summation of contrast remain intact. This study was conducted to investigate this question. methods. Horizontal sine-wave gratings were used as stimuli (3 or 9 cyc/deg; 200 ms), and the conventional method of assessment (above) was compared with one in which the contrast in the amblyopic eye was adjusted (normalized) to equate monocular sensitivities. results. In nine strabismic amblyopes (mean age, 32 years), the results confirmed that the BSR was close to unity when the conventional method was used (little or no binocular advantage), but increased to approximately √2 or higher when the normalization method was used. The results were similar to those for normal control subjects (n = 3; mean age, 38 years) and were consistent with the physiological summation of contrast between the eyes. When the normal observers performed the experiments with a neutral-density (ND) filter in front of one eye, their performance was similar to that of the amblyopes in both methods of assessment. conclusions. The results indicate that strabismic amblyopes have mechanisms for binocular summation of contrast and that the amblyopic deficits of binocularity can be simulated with an ND filter. The implications of these results for best clinical practice are discussed.
