Conception of a UHB engine simulator for the essential characteristics of a true-scale engine (2002)

Turbine powered simulators (TPSs) usually are not able to simulate the whole spectrum of characteristic features of an original engine correctly and simultaneously. The difficulties in scaling down an engine are the reasons for these deficiencies. The order of magnitude of the errors resulting from these problems is shown for a turbine powered simulator set up conventionally. A revised simulator concept that avoids most of the significant deficiencies of conventional simulators is presented considering a typical UHB (ultra high bypass) engine. A correct simulation, which permits the full transmission of simulation results to the real engine, requires the correct simulation of the secondary cycle, the primary nozzle flow, and the inlet flow. Contrary to a conventional TPS, the new concept, besides the correct simulation of the specific thrust, also allows the correct simulation of the thrust partition between the secondary and the primary cycle.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
35 nm floating gate planar MOSFET memory using double junction tunneling (2006)

It is shown that, for 35 nm gate length, a silicon nitride trap memory using double junction tunneling can retain more than 4 decades memory window for 10 years in less than 9 volts w/e voltage, where 1E+6 w/e cycle endurance is attained simultaneously. This is due to Coulomb blockade and quantum confinement in Si nanocrystals lying between double tunnel oxides, and further improvement is possible by Si nanocrystal scaling. Therefore, the double junction tunneling SiN memory is an excellent candidate for less than 35nm region future memory
Multilayer Integration of Low-Cost 60-GHz Front-End Transceiver on Organic LCP (2011)

This letter presents a low-cost and lightweight transceiver with RF front-end components integrated on multilayer organic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate for 60-GHz wireless communication applications. Two embedded dual-mode filters with an insertion loss of 3.1 and 2.4 dB are included, while they are designed to improve the isolation between the transmitting and receiving modes. A package-integrated high-gain vertical dipole is used for the radiating element with orthogonal polarization between the transmitting and receiving modes. The transceiver module after integrating a power amplifier (PA) and a low noise amplifier (LNA) for each mode has a measured gain of 12 dBi for the transmitting mode at 61.5 GHz and 22 dBi for the receiving mode at 66 GHz.

Local constitutive parameters of metamaterials from an effective-medium perspective (2007)

The reason of the nonlocality of constitutive (material) parameters extracted from the Fresnel-type reflection-transmission coefficients of composite slabs at moderately low frequencies is explained, and the physical meaning of these parameters is clarified. Local constitutive parameters of metamaterial lattices are discussed, and their existence at moderate frequencies is demonstrated. It is shown how to extract local material parameters from the dispersion characteristics of an infinite lattice and from reflection and transmission coefficients of metamaterial layers.
JAW WIRING IN THE TREATMENT OF MORBID OBESITY (1985)

Fourteen patients originally presented with hyperphagia and intractable morbid obesity have had maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) applied in an effort to control their obesity. In 10 patients who were massively obese or considered poor risk candidates for surgical control of their obesity, MMF was applied with the aim of reducing the obesity to a level where a surgical gastric restrictive bariatric procedure could be safely carried out. Eight of these patients had been rejected for surgical control of obesity elsewhere and two were edentulous. Five of these patients after successful weight loss over periods from 16 to 40 weeks (mean percentage overweight lost 84.8, range 39-150) safely underwent a gastric restrictive procedure. All five patients have had continuous weight loss after bariatric surgery. Two patients requested removal of MMF 1 and 2 weeks after application. The remaining three patients, who were candidates for surgery, after successful weight loss over periods from 12 to 28 weeks (mean percentage of overweight lost 45, range 38-50) decided not to proceed with surgical control. All have subsequently regained the lost weight. Four originally morbidly obese patients, who had had a previously successful gastric restrictive procedure followed by weight loss, requested MMF in an effort to lose further weight. Over periods from 8 to 16 weeks three of the four had further weight loss (mean percentage of overweight lost 18.3, range 5-30). After removal of MMF all four patients regained some weight. In only one was there a significant maintenance of weight lost during MMF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Immunoglobulinopathies. (1970)

Until two decades ago, clinicians relied upon the simple measurement of the albumin and globulin fraction as a guide toward understanding disorders of serum globulins. Electrophoretic techniques with use of paper and cellulose acetate strips became available later and allowed detection of alpha, beta, and gamma fractions of the globulin component. More recently, immunoprecipitation in agar gel and other methods have revealed five<i>immunoglobulins</i>, the term preferred to γ-globulins since this class of proteins migrates in both the gamma and faster-moving regions of the electrophoretogram. This rapid application of research techniques to the bedside has permitted a more detailed description of immunoglobulin abnormalities. Studies have multiplied and a more logical classification of disease states has emerged. Since antibody function resides in immunoglobulins, perhaps all immunoglobulins have an antibody function. Such a regrouping of diverse clinical conditions has enlarged our understanding of the biology of the immune system. <i>Immunoglobulinopathies</i>by Engle
Speech pen (2006)

It is tedious to handwrite long passages of text by hand. To make this process more efficient, we propose predictive handwriting that provides input predictions when the user writes by hand. A predictive handwriting system presents possible next words as a list and allows the user to select one to skip manual writing. Since it is not clear if people are willing to use prediction, we first run a user study to compare handwriting and selecting from the list. The result shows that, in Japanese, people prefer to select, especially when the expected performance gain from using selection is large. Based on these observations, we designed a multimodal input system, called speech-pen, that assists digital writing during lectures or presentations with background speech and handwriting recognition. The system recognizes speech and handwriting in the background and provides the instructor with predictions for further writing. The speech-pen system also allows the sharing of context information for predictions among the instructor and the audience; the result of the instructor's speech recognition is sent to the audience to support their own note-taking. Our preliminary study shows the effectiveness of this system and the implications for further improvements.
Design and development of wireless stethoscope with data logging function (2013)

Stethoscope is a special device to hear heartbeat sound and monitor pulmonary disease. The most type of stethoscope used these days is the acoustic stethoscope. However, the problem with this acoustic stethoscope is the sound level very low. It is hard to analyze the heart sound and difficult to be diagnosed by a medical doctor. Therefore, this project was developed to monitor and display heartbeat sound using wireless digital stethoscope. The condenser microphone is used as a sensor to capture the low sensitivity of heart sound signal. ZigBee Pro Series 1 wireless module is used to send the heart beat signal wirelessly in 100 meters range. Microcontroller Arduino Nano and Arduino Mega were used as a platform to process the signal and sent the result to the computer. Graphical User Interface (GUI) was developed using MATLAB software to monitor real time electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform and for data logging purpose. The result shows that this device able to transmit and receive ECG waveform wirelessly. The ECG signal can be recorded through data logging application for further analysis by the medical personnel.
cdc18+ regulates initiation of DNA replication in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. (1996)

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe the cdc18'+gene is required both for initiation of DNA replication and for coupling mitosis to the completion of S phase. Cells lacking Cdc18 fail to enter S phase but still undergo nuclear division. Expression of cdc18+ is sufficient to drive a G1-arrested cdc10ts mutant into the S phase of the cell cycle, indicating that cdc18+ represents a critical link between passage through START and the initiation of DNA replication. Here we show that Cdcl8 is a highly unstable protein that is expressed only once per cell cycle at the boundary between GI and S phase. De novo synthesis of Cdc18 is required before, but not after, the initiation of DNA replication, indicating that Cdc18 function is not necessary once the initiation event has occurred. Overproduction of the protein results in an accumulation of cells with DNA content of greater than 2C and delays mitosis, suggesting that Cdc18 is sufficient to cause reinitiation of DNA replication within a given cell cycle. Our data indicate that the synthesis of Cdc18 protein is a critical rate-limiting step in the initiation of DNA replication during each cell cycle. The extreme lability of the protein may contribute to the prevention of reinitiation.
Pulse broadening in multimode graded-index fibres (1975)

A closed-form expression is obtained for pulse broadening in graded-index fibres with k2(r)=1−r2+ε2r4+…+εnr2n. Pulse broadening for k2(r)=1−r2+0.615r4+70r6 and r<0.1 is 12 times smaller than for square-law fibres if material dispersion is neglected.
Specific Alterations of Coxsackievirus B3 Eluted from Hela Cells (1971)

After the attachment of radioactive coxsackievirus B3 to HeLa cells at 0 C and subsequent incubation at 37 C, 50 to 80% of attached virus radioactivity was eluted from the cells within 1 hr. Eluted virus had a buoyant density of 1.21 in a potassium tartrate gradient, sedimented more slowly than native virus in sucrose gradients, was resistant to ribonuclease, was unstable in CsCl centrifugation, and did not reattach to uninfected cells. Electrophoretic studies of sodium dodecyl sulfate-disrupted B3 virus in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels revealed four radioactive virus polypeptides (VP 1 to 4), of which the three largest migrated slightly faster than their poliovirus T1 counterparts. In contrast, electrophoretic analysis of eluted virus, after banding in a tartrate gradient or pelleting by centrifugation, showed the absence of the fastest migrating polypeptide, VP 4. VP 4 was recovered in the supernatant fluid when the eluted virions were removed by high-speed centrifugation. The results indicate that VP 4 is located at the surface of the native virion, and its dissociation from the capsid may represent the first specific alteration of the virion after virus-receptor interaction at the cell surface.
Dried grass silage analysis by NIR reflectance spectroscopy—A Comparison of stepwise multiple linear and principal component techniques for calibration development on raw and transformed spectral data (1989)

Abstract Calibrations to predict crude protein (CP) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) in dried grass silage from reflectance data collected at 19 wavelengths on an InfraAlyzer 400R have been developed using stepwise multiple linear (SML) and principal component (PC) regression techniques. A direct comparison of the efficacy of each multivariate technique in this applications has been possible by using identical calibration development and evaluation sample sets. The effect of two data transformation steps prior to PC regression was also investigated. PC regression of raw reflectance data yielded no significant improvement in the standard errors of prediction (SEP) for CP and IVDMD over those obtained by SMLR, viz. 0·61 vs 0·63 and 2·9 vs 3·0 respectively. Computation time for development and evaluation of the PC regression equation was less than for selection of the best SMLR equation, and PCR equations may be more robust. Data transformation to reduce granularity effects prior to PCR did not produce any improvement in predictive accuracy for either IVDMD or CP.
Single-Nucleotide-Polymorphism-Based Association Mapping of Dog Stereotypes (2008)

Phenotypic stereotypes are traits, often polygenic, that have been stringently selected to conform to specific criteria. In dogs, Canis familiaris, stereotypes result from breed standards set for conformation, performance (behaviors), etc. As a consequence, phenotypic values measured on a few individuals are representative of the breed stereotype. We used DNA samples isolated from 148 dog breeds to associate SNP markers with breed stereotypes. Using size as a trait to test the method, we identified six significant quantitative trait loci (QTL) on five chromosomes that include candidate genes appropriate to regulation of size (e.g., IGF1, IGF2BP2 SMAD2, etc.). Analysis of other morphological stereotypes, also under extreme selection, identified many additional significant loci. Less well-documented data for behavioral stereotypes tentatively identified loci for herding, pointing, boldness, and trainability. Four significant loci were identified for longevity, a breed characteristic not under direct selection, but inversely correlated with breed size. The strengths and limitations of the approach are discussed as well as its potential to identify loci regulating the within-breed incidence of specific polygenic diseases.
The effects of various antihypertensive drug treatment on pulse wave velocity in patients with essential hypertension (2010)

EE-TCAM: An Energy-Efficient SRAM-Based TCAM on FPGA (2018)

Ternary content-addressable memories (TCAMs) are used to design high-speed search engines. TCAM is implemented on application-specific integrated circuit (native TCAMs) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) (static random-access memory (SRAM)-based TCAMs) platforms but both have the drawback of high power consumption. This paper presents a pre-classifier-based architecture for an energy-efficient SRAM-based TCAM. The first classification stage divides the TCAM table into several sub-tables of balanced size. The second SRAM-based implementation stage maps each of the resultant TCAM sub-tables to a separate row of configured SRAM blocks in the architecture. The proposed architecture selectively activates at most one row of SRAM blocks for each incoming TCAM word. Compared with the existing SRAM-based TCAM designs on FPGAs, the proposed design consumes significantly reduced energy as it activates a part of SRAM memory used for lookup rather than the entire SRAM memory as in the previous schemes. We implemented the proposed approach sample designs of size 512 × 36 on Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. The experimental results showed that the proposed design achieved at least three times lower power consumption per performance than other SRAM-based TCAM architectures.
Creating a multiuser 3-D virtual environment (2001)

For many years online text chat software such as ICQ has been used as a means of multiuser interaction. As higher bandwidth is available, multipoint videoconferencing systems such as NetMeeting or CUseeMe that allow people from different geographical locations to see and talk to each other are becoming popular. However, these videoconferencing systems lack the sense of immersion because each participant sees other participants in separate windows, and it is often difficult to tell who is talking to whom. Based on user study, Argyle and Dean (1965) suggested that during face-to-face communication people vary physical proximity, eye contact, and other behaviors to optimize an overall level of intimacy. In addition, Tang and Isaacs (1993) found that gaze awareness is important because participants can use the visual cue to determine when another participant is paying attention to them. These studies suggest that a more immersive way of multiuser communication is to connect the users in a three-dimensional (3-D) virtual environment so that users feel that they are communicating face to face. Moving from a text-based chat room environment to a 3-D environment creates new challenges in several areas such as computer animation, signal processing, and computer vision. We introduce immersive interactive technologies used in multiuser 3-D virtual environments. We also survey existing systems.
Structural modifications of PSMA ligands to optimize their pharmacokinetics (2017)

The prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was recognized as promising molecular target and enabled the development of radiolabeled tracer for prostate cancer imaging and endoradiotherapy. Goal of this work was the development and identification of modifications to optimize the pharmacokinetics of ligands based on PSMA I&T. The optimization led to the design of the trimesic acid substituted ligand PSMA-66, which is a remarkably potent tracer with advanced tumor-targeting and pharmacokinetic properties.
CoPS: Context Prefetching handover scheme on 4G outdoor small cell testbed (2014)

Mobility enhancements of small-cell networks in the IEEE/3GPP standard meeting is an important issue, where the mobility robustness is aimed at the prevention and solution of connection failure/exceptions that occur as a result of uncertain channel condition or aggressive mobility. Although exception handling, such as uncontrolled handover and connection re-establishment, is supported in a 4G wireless network system, it still results in a lengthy yet acceptable handover duration. Notably, the results from commercial 4G cellular systems show that the preparation phase period accounting for 19% of the controlled handover duration is long and prone to uncompleted handover. In this work, we propose a Context Prefetching handover Scheme (CoPS) for 4G broadband wireless access networks in order to effectively reduce the lengthy preparation phase period in the controlled handover procedure without any modifications on user side. We also propose two triggering mechanisms according to the mobility scenario for a trade-off between the overhead and the benefit of prefetching. We implement CoPS and the triggering mechanisms on a WiMAX small-cell network platform of outdoor small cell base-stations. Our field trial results show significant improvements of CoPS in a reduction of the preparation phase period by 78% as well as a reduction of handover duration by 17% and in negligible resource occupation overhead. The proposed solutions also can be introduced into existing LTE infrastructures.
Starch Synthetase, Phosphorylase, ADPglucose Pyrophosphorylase, and UDPglucose Pyrophosphorylase in Developing Maize Kernels (1973)

Soluble ADPglucose-alpha-glucan 4-alpha-glucosyltransferase (starch synthetase), ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase, UDPglucose pyrophosphorylase and phosphorylase were assayed in extracts from developing kernels of maize (Zea mays). Normal, waxy and amylose-extender maize at stages of development ranging from 8 days to 28 days after pollination were studied. Shrunken-4 maize at the 22-day stage was also studied. There is adequate activity of both ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase and starch synthetase at all stages of development to account for the synthesis of starch. Thus all starch could be synthesized via the ADPglucose pathway. High levels of UDPglucose pyrophosphorylase and of phosphorylase activities were also found at all stages of development. The possible role of phosphorylase in starch synthesis could not be discounted. The levels of phosphorylase, ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase, starch synthetase, and UDPglucose pyrophosphorylase activities in shrunken-4 kernels were about 20 to 40% of that found in normal maize kernels. It appears that the mutation in shrunken-4 affects the activities of more than one enzyme. The defective starch synthesis seen in this mutant could be due to the low activities of ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase and starch synthetase rather than the low activity of phosphorylase.
