Electrochemistry of Disulfide Compounds: I . Electrochemical Polymerization‐Depolymerization Process of 2,5‐Dimercapt‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (1995)

The electrochemical polymerization‐depolymerization of an organodisulfide compound, 2,5‐dimercapt‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole (DMcT), was investigated under in situ conditions by quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements employed simultaneously with electrochemical voltammetry. The EQCM results, together with the cyclic voltammetric results, suggest that the polymerization and depolymerization processes of DMcT do not occur with the same coulombic efficiency. The number of electrons consumed during the polymerization process is greater than that for the depolymerization process, indicating that some other chemical process occurs at the same time. The EQCM analysis and AFM observations indicated that the oxidation of DMcT, especially at higher potentials, involves not only a straightforward polymerization process via S‐S bonds but also an overoxidation or degradation (decomposition) process of the poly(DMcT) deposited on the electrode surface. The AFM images of the deposited poly(DMcT) show smooth/uniform and isolated/island growth at low (0.8 V) and high (1.4 V) potentials, respectively. Substantial decomposition of poly(DMcT) was confirmed from both EQCM and AFM analysis when the polymer was formed at high potential (1.4 V). This behavior can be regarded as a serious drawback when the material is used as battery material.
Virtual overlay metrology for fault detection supported with integrated metrology and machine learning (2015)

While semiconductor manufacturing moves toward the 7nm node for logic and 15nm node for memory, an increased emphasis has been placed on reducing the influence known contributors have toward the on product overlay budget. With a machine learning technique known as function approximation, we use a neural network to gain insight to how known contributors, such as those collected with scanner metrology, influence the on product overlay budget. The result is a sufficiently trained function that can approximate overlay for all wafers exposed with the lithography system. As a real world application, inline metrology can be used to measure overlay for a few wafers while using the trained function to approximate overlay vector maps for the entire lot of wafers. With the approximated overlay vector maps for all wafers coming off the track, a process engineer can redirect wafers or lots with overlay signatures outside the standard population to offline metrology for excursion validation. With this added flexibility, engineers will be given more opportunities to catch wafers that need to be reworked, resulting in improved yield. The quality of the derived corrections from measured overlay metrology feedback can be improved using the approximated overlay to trigger, which wafers should or shouldn’t be, measured inline. As a development or integration engineer the approximated overlay can be used to gain insight into lots and wafers used for design of experiments (DOE) troubleshooting. In this paper we will present the results of a case study that follows the machine learning function approximation approach to data analysis, with production overlay measured on an inline metrology system at SK hynix.
New Method for isolation of immunologically pure pili from Escherichia coli (1980)

A new technique for purification of bacterial pili was developed and applied to Escherichia coli strains isolated from the urine of patients with symptomatic urinary tract infections. After mechanical detachment from the bacterial cells, the pili were concentrated by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, dialyzed, and solubilized in buffer containing deoxycholate. The fraction containing the pili was purufied further by ultracentrifugation in a sucrose gradient and by elution through a Sepharose 4B column in 6 M urea buffer. The pilus filaments were not dissociated by concentrated urea and were eluted in the void volume of the column. The purified pili had a molecular weight of 17,000. The isoelectric point of the pili from one of the strains was 4.9, and about 43% of the amino acids were hydrophobic. Hyperimmunesera raised in rabbits against the purified pili did not contain detectable antibodies to the lipopolysaccharide O antigen or to the capsular polysaccharide K antigen of the homologous strain. The pili obtained by this purification procedure are free from other detectable bacterial surface antigens, and the purified pilus filaments are of relatively homogeneous size. This procedure enables purification of the pili also from flagellated strains.
An idea for thin subwavelength cavity resonators using metamaterials with negative permittivity and permeability (2002)

We present and analyze theoretically some ideas for thin one-dimensional (1D) cavity resonators in which a combination of a conventional dielectric material and a metamaterial possessing negative permittivity and permeability has been inserted. It is shown that a slab of metamaterial with negative permittivity and permeability can act as a phase compensator/conjugator and, thus, by combining such a slab with another slab made of a conventional dielectric material, one can, in principle, have a 1D cavity resonator whose dispersion relation may not depend on the sum of thicknesses of the interior materials filling this cavity, but instead it depends on the ratio of these thicknesses. In other words, one can, in principle, conceptualize a 1D cavity resonator with the total thickness far less than the conventional /spl lambda//2. Mathematical steps and physical intuitions relevant to this problem are presented.

A New Mesoporous Micelle-Templated Silica Route for Enzyme Encapsulation (2005)

A new mesoporous micelle-templated silica (MTS) route for enzyme encapsulation is presented. The pore structure is given by a new association oflecithin (double chain surfactant) and dodecylamine as cosurfactant. To enhance and to well protect the enzyme activity, lactose was loaded in the synthesis. The mixed-micelles give after the addition of tetraethyl orthosilicate a well-ordered mesoporous material with a spongelike rigid structure stable after calcination at 550 degrees C. The size of the pores lies between 30 and 40 A, matching well with the size of the lipases. The activity of this heterogeneous catalyst was tested in the hydrolysis of the ethylthiodecanoate. These new biocatalysts were very active, more than hydrophobic sol-gel materials and commercially available sol-gel encapsulated lipase. This new MTS synthesis route allows one to encapsulate in one-step various enzymes, even those that are very fragile.
Paradoxically Shortened QT Interval after a Prolonged Pause (1998)

We analyzed Holter ECG recordings in 15 patients with episodes of prolonged RR intervals > 2.5 seconds. In 13 patients, the QT interval showed a linear prolongation when RR interval was < 1.5 seconds and became relatively flat at longer RR intervals. In the remaining two patients, the QT and RR intervals were correlated within physiological range of RR intervals. However, at longer RR intervals, the QT interval was unexpectedly shortened and constant. The paradoxically shortened QT interval observed in the present 2 cases may indicate an abnormal adaptation of repolarization time to an abrupt increase in the preceding RR intervals.
mRNA degradation controls differentiation state-dependent differences in transcript and splice variant abundance (2010)

Expression profiling experiments usually provide a static snapshot of messenger RNA (mRNA) levels. Improved understanding of the dynamics of mRNA synthesis and degradation will aid the development of sound bioinformatic models for control of gene expression. We studied mRNA stability in proliferating and differentiated myogenic cells using whole-genome exon arrays and reported the decay rates (half life) for ∼7000 mRNAs. We showed that the stability of many mRNAs strongly depends on the differentiation status and contributes to differences in abundance of these mRNAs. In addition, alternative splicing turns out to be coupled to mRNA degradation. Although different splice forms may be produced at comparable levels, their relative abundance is partly determined by their different stabilities in proliferating and differentiated cells. Where the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) was previously thought to contain most RNA stabilizing and destabilizing elements, we showed that this also holds for transcript isoforms sharing the same 3'-UTR. There are two splice variants in Itga7, of which the isoform with an extra internal exon is highly stable in differentiated cells but preferentially degraded in the cytoplasm of proliferating cells. In conclusion, control of stability and degradation emerge as important determinants for differential expression of mRNA transcripts and splice variants.
Arylamide Dendrimers with Flexible Linkers via Haloacyl Halide Method (2005)

[reaction: see text] Soluble arylamide dendrons with flexible linkers, peripheral ester or carboxyl groups (R), and focal amino or halogen functionalities (F) were synthesized from aryl glycineamide (AG) building blocks. The AG blocks were prepared in high yields from trivial starting materials by Fischer's haloacyl halide method, which also could be extended to the dendrimer synthesis itself. The G2 AG dendrons were coupled to a Pd porphyrin core, demonstrating outstanding encapsulation efficiency in aqueous solutions.
NEURAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULES OF THE IMMUNOGLOBULIN SUPERFAMILY: Role in Axon Growth and Guidance (1997)

NCAM, L1, and DCC--immunoglobulin cell adhesion molecules (Ig CAMs)--are widely expressed during development. Many workers have dismissed a role for such molecules in the control of axonal growth and guidance because they do not show highly restricted expression patterns. Yet evidence from a number of model systems suggests all three CAMs play a role in the development of specific projections in the nervous system. For example, there is a reduction in mossy fiber tracts in the hippocampus of mice that lack NCAM, a requirement for DCC in the response of commissural neurons to a floor plate-derived chemoattractant, and a loss of corticospinal tracts in humans who carry mutations in the L1 gene. The above paradox might be explained by the observation that differential post-translational processing can modulate CAMs function and that alternative splicing can generate functionally distinct isoforms of a CAM. Activation of the FGF tyrosine kinase receptor is required for the responses stimulated by NCAM and L1, and the importance of regulated tyrosine phosphorylation for growth and guidance is underscored by the involvement of receptor tyrosine phosphatases in this process.
Spin‐polarized Low Energy Electron Microscopy (2007)

Abstract Spin‐polarized low‐energy electron microscopy (SPLEEM) is the imaging counterpart to spin‐polarized low‐energy electron diffraction (SPLEED). Therefore, it has the same possibilities and limitations as SPLEED but allows the study of the magnetization distribution in the top several atomic layers of crystals and highly oriented thin films. This chapter discusses the basics of the method, its experimental realization, the experimental procedures, and its applications to the study of the magnetization distribution in thin films as a function of film thickness, temperature, and magnetic field.
Computer‐Aided Three‐Dimensional Reconstruction and Measurement of the Vestibular End‐Organs (1988)

It is very valuable for temporal bone morphologists to be able to recognize temporal bone serial sections in three dimensions and to be able to measure temporal bone structures three-dimensionally. We can now do 3-dimensional reconstruction to visualize the structures of vestibular endorgans (utricular and saccular maculae) and measure these endorgans in space by means of a small computer system and software that we developed. As well as obtaining the dimensions--such as length and area--of the utricular and saccular maculae, we also found that (1) most of the utricular macula lies in one plane, which is the same as the plane of the lateral semicircular canal, (2) the saccular macula is shaped like part of a sphere, and (3) the angle between the two maculae is less than a right angle. Such knowledge is indispensable to the evaluation of the function of the utricular and saccular maculae.
Turbo Equalization with Cancellation of Nonlinear Distortion Effects for CP-Assisted and Zero-Padded MC-CDMA Signals (2007)

We consider MC-CDMA schemes, with reduced envelope fluctuations. Both CP-assisted (cyclic prefix) and ZP (zero-padded) MC-CDMA schemes are addressed. We develop turbo FDE (frequency-domain equalization) schemes, combined with cancelation of nonlinear distortion effects. The proposed turbo receivers allow significant performance improvements at low and moderate SNR, even when the transmitted signals have reduced envelope fluctuations.
Pancreatic Cancer – More Familial than You Thought (1999)

Although pancreatic cancer accounts for only 2% of new cancer cases, it is the fifth leading cause of cancerrelated death in Western countries. The high mortality rate is mainly caused by the fact that most cases are detected at a stage when curable resection is not an option anymore and prognosis is poor [45,55]. The etiology of pancreatic cancer is poorly understood. Several putative risk factors have been described, such as cigarette smoking, high-fat diet, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and remote history of partial gastrectomy [3,20,23,28,36,38,52,59]. Of these cigarette smoking has the strongest positive association with pancreatic cancer. Recently, it has been suggested that a family history of pancreatic cancer is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer, and Henry Lynch has estimated that as many as 10% of pancreatic cancers are familial [32]. There have been a number of isolated case reports of the aggregation of pancreatic cancer in families suggesting a hereditary susceptibility for pancreatic cancer, however chance aggregations or shared environmental exposure could also cause this clustering [8,35,44].
Voter Model on Heterogeneous Graphs (2004)

We study the voter dynamics model on heterogeneous graphs. We exploit the non-conservation of the magnetization to characterize how consensus is reached on networks with different connectivity patterns. For a network of N sites with an arbitrary degree distribution, we show that the mean time to reach consensus T_N scales as N mu_1^2/mu_2, where mu_k is the kth moment of the degree distribution. For a power-law degree distribution n_k k^{-nu}, we thus find that T_N scales as N for nu>3, as N/ln N for nu=3, as N^{(2nu-4)/(nu-1)} for 2

Antifungal Activity and Mechanism of Palladium-Modified Nitrogen-Doped Titanium Oxide Photocatalyst on Agricultural Pathogenic Fungi<i>Fusarium graminearum</i> (2013)

Fusarium graminearum is the pathogen for Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat, which could significantly reduce grain quality/yield and produce a variety of mycotoxins posing a potential safety concern to human foods. As an environmentally friendly alternative to the commonly used chemical fugicides, a highly effective photocatalytic disinfection of F. graminearum macroconidia under visible light illumination was demonstrated on a visible-light-activated palladium-modified nitrogen-doped titanium oxide (TiON/PdO) nanoparticle photocatalyst. Because of the opposite surface charges of the TiON/PdO nanoparticles and the F. graminearum macroconidium, the nanoparticles were strongly adsorbed onto the macroconidium surface, which is beneficial to the photocatalytic disinfection of these macroconidia. The photocatalytic disinfection mechanism of TiON/PdO nanoparticles on these macroconidia could be attributed to their cell wall/membrane damage caused by the attack from reactive oxygen species (ROSs) as demonstrated by the fluorescence/phase contrast microscopy observations, while a breakage of their cell structure was not necessary for their loss of viability.
Mineralogic and compositional properties of Martian soil and dust: Results from Mars Pathfinder (2000)

Mars Pathfinder obtained multispectral, elemental, magnetic, and physical measurements of soil and dust at the Sagan Memorial Station during the course of its 83 sol mission. We describe initial results from these measurements, concentrating on multispectral and elemental data, and use these data, along with previous Viking, SNC meteorite, and telescopic results, to help constrain the origin and evolution of Martian soil and dust. We find that soils and dust can be divided into at least eight distinct spectral units, based on parameterization of Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) 400 to 1000 nm multispectral images. The most distinctive spectral parameters for soils and dust are the reflectivity in the red, the red/blue reflectivity ratio, the near‐IR spectral slope, and the strength of the 800 to 1000 nm absorption feature. Most of the Pathfinder spectra are consistent with the presence of poorly crystalline or nanophase ferric oxide(s), sometimes mixed with small but varying degrees of well‐crystalline ferric and ferrous phases. Darker soil units appear to be coarser‐grained, compacted, and/or mixed with a larger amount of dark ferrous materials relative to bright soils. Nanophase goethite, akaganeite, schwertmannite, and maghemite are leading candidates for the origin of the absorption centered near 900 nm in IMP spectra. The ferrous component in the soil cannot be well‐constrained based on IMP data. Alpha proton X‐ray spectrometer (APXS) measurements of six soil units show little variability within the landing site and show remarkable overall similarity to the average Viking‐derived soil elemental composition. Differences exist between Viking and Pathfinder soils, however, including significantly higher S and Cl abundances and lower Si abundances in Viking soils and the lack of a correlation between Ti and Fe in Pathfinder soils. No significant linear correlations were observed between IMP spectral properties and APXS elemental chemistry. Attempts at constraining the mineralogy of soils and dust using normative calculations involving mixtures of smectites and silicate and oxide minerals did not yield physically acceptable solutions. We attempted to use the Pathfinder results to constrain a number of putative soil and dust formation scenarios, including palagonitization and acid‐fog weathering. While the Pathfinder soils cannot be chemically linked to the Pathfinder rocks by palagonitization, this study and McSween et al. [1999] suggest that palagonitic alteration of a Martian basaltic rock, plus mixture with a minor component of locally derived andesitic rock fragments, could be consistent with the observed soil APXS and IMP properties.
Bayesian modelling captures inter-individual differences in social belief computations in the putamen and insula (2020)

Computational models of social learning and decision-making provide mechanistic tools to investigate the neural mechanisms that are involved in understanding other people. While most studies employ explicit instructions to learn from social cues, everyday life is characterized by the spontaneous use of such signals (e.g., the gaze of others) to infer on internal states such as intentions. To investigate the neural mechanisms of the impact of gaze cues on learning and decision-making, we acquired behavioural and fMRI data from 50 participants performing a probabilistic task, in which cards with varying winning probabilities had to be chosen. In addition, the task included a computer-generated face that gazed towards one of these cards providing implicit advice. Participants' individual belief trajectories were inferred using a hierarchical Gaussian filter (HGF) and used as predictors in a linear model of neuronal activation. During learning, social prediction errors were correlated with activity in inferior frontal gyrus and insula. During decision-making, the belief about the accuracy of the social cue was correlated with activity in inferior temporal gyrus, putamen and pallidum while the putamen and insula showed activity as a function of individual differences in weighting the social cue during decision-making. Our findings demonstrate that model-based fMRI can give insight into the behavioural and neural aspects of spontaneous social cue integration in learning and decision-making. They provide evidence for a mechanistic involvement of specific components of the basal ganglia in subserving these processes.
