Supporting next-generation distributed applications (1998)

Even the current euphoria over the World Wide Web doesn't do full justice to the Internet's potential. With the manifold increase in CPU processing power and network bandwidth, it's inevitable that the Internet will support increasingly complex distributed applications. While information retrieval applications dominate the Internet today, the next-generation Internet will likely offer applications that can process massive amounts of data for visualization and support real-time interactivity. For instance, a digital library of satellite imagery might be processed for feature extraction or visualization. A virtual environment for training fire fighters might involve distributed simulations and real-time user interactivity. In 1994, the University of Texas at Austin opened the Distributed Multimedia Computing Laboratory (DMCL) to conduct the basic and experimental research necessary to address the problems of these emerging applications. The research work done at DMCL can be broadly classified into the following categories: resource management techniques that meet the performance requirements of applications (the Symphony, NetCop, and OSng projects); an information delivery architecture that meets the scalability requirements of applications (the Trellis project); a fault-tolerance framework for cooperative distributed applications (the Coyote project); an environment for creating and disseminating digital educational material over the Internet (the InfoWeave project). The article summarizes key research findings and ongoing projects at DMCL.
Dynamic Fracture Mechanics (1990)

This volume emphasizes fundamental concepts, both on the development of mathematical models of fracture phenomena and on the analysis of these models. Cases involving stress waves impinging on cracks, tractions suddenly applied to the faces of cracks, and rapid crack growth and arrest are considered in detail. Most of the work is concerned with the behavior of nominally elastic materials, but available results on elastic-plastic and elastic-viscoplastic materials are included. Connections to experimental results and to applications in structural mechanics, seismology, and materials science are noted whenever possible.
Lateral Graphene Heterostructure Field-Effect Transistor (2013)

We report the first experimental demonstration of a lateral graphene heterostructure field-effect transistor (HFET) at wafer scale, where the graphene heterostructure channel consists of epitaxial graphene (Gr)/fluorographene (GrF)/graphene (Gr). GrF is a widebandgap material, providing a potential barrier to lateral carrier transport. Gate bias modulation of the Gr/GrF/Gr barrier via an electric field effect results in normally-off enhancement-mode graphene HFETs with an ON-OFF switching ratio of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">5</sup> at room temperature. These devices also demonstrate excellent current-voltage saturation, providing a potential path for active RF applications.
Boundary Issues of the Lithosphere (2009)

The depth of Earth's tectonic plates is defined by the lithosphere-aesthenosphere boundary (LAB), but its seismic signature is more subtle compared with other deeper boundaries within Earth (see the Perspective by [Romanowicz][1] ). Under oceanic plates, the LAB is often defined by where temperatures are hot enough to cause some melting. This boundary has been hard to detect in older oceanic plates, but it is important for understanding how these plates thicken with age or distance from ocean ridges, and for assessing heat flow through the oceanic crust. Kawakatsu et al. (p. [499][2]) use a detailed seismic array to detect a seismic velocity reduction beneath the Philippine Sea and Pacific plates. The data imply that 5%, or less, melt forms horizontal layers, and that oceanic plate thicknesses do indeed deepen with age. Rychert and Shearer (p. [495][3]) used 15 years of seismic data to explore the global distribution of an anomaly imaged by conversion of pressure waves to shear waves (waves associated with a sharp velocity drop). The data reveal a broad signal at depths of 70 kilometers (km) beneath ocean islands to 95 km beneath Precambrian shields. It is not clear whether this boundary is the lithosphere-aesthenosphere boundary or a layer with a distinct horizontal fabric.

Diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis with 99mTc-streptokinase: A Clinical Comparison with Phlebography (1974)

Nineteen patients with signs of deep vein thrombosis in the legs were investigated with a new technique using (9 9m)Tc-streptokinase. This compound is probably superior to iodine-labelled fibrinogen in detecting established thrombi. The ratio between the activity in the leg with suspected thrombosis and the other leg was calculated. The results were compared with those obtained with phlebography. A pathologically high activity ratio was found in 11 out of 13 patients in whom phlebography showed a thrombus, while the ratio was normal in the remaining six patients who showed no thrombus on phlebography. No negative correlation was found between the activity ratio and the titrated initial dose of streptokinase. The activity ratio as well as diagnosing the presence of a thrombus may also provide a guide for therapy.
Large CD30‐positive cells in benign, atypical lymphoid infiltrates of the skin (2008)

Analysis of our data and of those published in the literature shows that viruses and drugs are the most common cause for occurrence of large CD30-positive cells in cutaneous pseudolymphomatous infiltrates. Arrangement of these large, CD30-positive cells in small clusters is not unique to cutaneous CD30-positive lymphomas, and in many cases a precise diagnosis can be made only upon accurate clinicopathological correlation or using ancillary methods such as polymerase chain reaction analysis for viral DNA.
Transition to a superconductor with insulating cavities (2004)

An extreme type II superconductor with internal insulating regions, namely cavities, is studied here. We find that the cavity-bearing superconductor has lower energy than the defect-free superconductor above a critical magnetic induction $B^*$ for insulating cavities but not for metallic ones. Using a numerical approach for the Ginzburg-Landau theory we compute and compare free energy densities for several cavity radii and at least for two cavity densities, assuming a cubic lattice of spherical cavities.
Primary cutaneous CD30-positive large cell lymphoma: Definition of a new type of cutaneous lymphoma with a favorable prognosis.A European multicenter study of 47 patients (1993)

The results of this study indicate that primary cutaneous CD30-positive LCL, regardless of their morphologic classification (anaplastic or nonanaplastic) can be considered as a distinct type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Recognition of this type of cutaneous lymphoma is important because it may prevent patients from unnecessary aggressive treatment.

Solid-Core Photonic Bandgap Fibers for High-Power Fiber Lasers (2009)

An overview of various designs of large-mode-area photonic bandgap fibers (PBGFs) is presented in this paper. Bending properties of these structures are discussed and compared with those of step-index and air-silica microstructured fibers. Peculiarities of active PBGF fabrication are considered, and novel high-power laser architecture based on such fibers is described.
Crystalline oligopyrene nanowires with multicolored emission (2004)

Highly crystalline oligopyrene nanowires have been prepared by template-assisted electropolymerization of pyrene in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate medium, which can emit strong blue, green or red fluorescence as excited at 405, 488 or 543 nm, respectively.
Gold-Catalyzed Deacylative Cycloisomerization Reactions of 3-Acylindole/ynes: A New Approach for Carbazole Synthesis (2011)

The synthesis of functionalized carbazoles through gold-catalyzed deacylative cycloisomerization of 3-acylindole/ynes is described. A mechanistic proposal for these transformations involving a novel carbonyl group facilitated heterolytic fragmentation upon the loss of an acylium ion intermediate is presented. The eliminated acylium ion species could be trapped by the organogold intermediate to afford acylcarbazoles.
Multiscale and Uniform Liquid Metal Thin‐Film Patterning Based on Soft Lithography for 3D Heterogeneous Integrated Soft Microsystems: Additive Stamping and Subtractive Reverse Stamping (2018)

Abstract The use of intrinsically soft conductors, such as gallium‐based liquid metal (eutectic gallium–indium alloy, EGaIn), has enabled bioinspired and skin‐like soft electronics. Thereby, creating patterned, smooth, and uniform EGaIn thin films with high resolution and size scalability is one of the primary technical hurdles. Soft lithography using wetting/nonwetting surface modifications and 3D heterogeneous integration can address current EGaIn patterning challenges. This paper demonstrates multiscale and uniform EGaIn thin‐film patterning by utilizing an additive stamping process for large‐scale (mm–cm) soft electronics and a subtractive reverse stamping process for microscale (µm–mm) soft electronics. While EGaIn patterning based on stamping is regarded as the least reliable patterning technique, this paper highlights multiscale and uniform thin‐film patterning by stamping at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure utilizing proper chemical/physical surface modification to obtain selective nonwetting or uniform wetting properties. By combining structures fabricated using these additive and subtractive stamping techniques with 3D heterogeneous integration, functional soft microsystems are demonstrated: i) a soft LC (inductor‐capacitor) sensing platform with high areal capacitance, ii) a fingertip‐mountable biological sensing platform, and iii) soft heaters with localized and distributed heating capability. The demonstrated fabrication and integration approaches enable high‐density and multifunctional soft microsystems for versatile sensing applications.
A Real-Time Software Platform for the Cell Processor (2005)

Scalability, efficiency, and programmability are essential for using the cell processor in consumer electronics. A real-time resource scheduler virtualizes the processor cores and ensures the application of real-time constraints at the system level. These features let the platform control resource usage and help exploit the power management features implemented in the cell processor.

Reversible binding of hemoglobin to band 3 constitutes the molecular switch that mediates O2 regulation of erythrocyte properties (2016)

Functional studies have shown that the oxygenation state of the erythrocyte regulates many important pathways, including glucose metabolism, membrane mechanical stability, and cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release. Deoxyhemoglobin (deoxyHb), but not oxyhemoglobin, binds avidly and reversibly to band 3, the major erythrocyte membrane protein. Because band 3 associates with multiple metabolic, solute transport, signal transduction, and structural proteins, the hypothesis naturally arises that the O<sub>2</sub>-dependent regulation of erythrocyte properties might be mediated by the reversible association of deoxyHb with band 3. To explore whether the band 3-deoxyHb interaction constitutes a "molecular switch" for regulating erythrocyte biology, we have generated transgenic mice with mutations in the deoxyHb-binding domain of band 3. One strain of mouse contains a "humanized" band 3 in which the N-terminal 45 residues of mouse band 3 are replaced by the homologous sequence from human band 3, including the normal human band 3 deoxyHb-binding site. The second mouse contains the same substitution as the first, except the deoxyHb site on band 3 (residues 12-23) has been deleted. Comparison of these animals with wild-type mice demonstrates that the following erythrocyte properties are controlled by the O<sub>2</sub>-dependent association of hemoglobin with band 3: (1) assembly of a glycolytic enzyme complex on the erythrocyte membrane which is associated with a shift in glucose metabolism between the pentose phosphate pathway and glycolysis, (2) interaction of ankyrin with band 3 and the concomitant regulation of erythrocyte membrane stability, and (3) release of ATP from the red cell which has been linked to vasodilation.

The two similar seasonal influenza vaccine strains recommended by WHO had a good cross immunity response, but the systematic error of test existed in two similar stains and the same strains should be used.
Detection of driving space using Vanishing point estimation (2010)

This paper presents an in-vehicle monocular road detection system. The system acquires color images in the input and uses image processing techniques to boost robustness of this algorithm that it is possible to improve it's autonomy and "intelligence" in segmentation of driving space in different road scenes. The road detection algorithm consists of two main steps: Vanishing point estimation and Road detection. The main idea of driving space detection is based on successful Vanishing point estimation. This algorithm was tested under different traffic scenarios (e.g., simply structured highway, complex urban street, varying illumination conditions).
Measurement of excess sensitivity penalty of a four-diode polarisation diversity coherent receiver (1988)

A novel optical polarisation-diversity coherent receiver is described and demonstrated. The receiver optical hybrid consists of three polarising beam splitters and four pin diodes, interconnected with polarisation maintaining fibres. Measurements over arbitrary input polarisations show a receiver sensitivity of −63±0.5dBm for BER of 10−9 in a 40Mbit/s DPSK self-heterodyne system. This receiver sensitivity is within 1±0.5 dB of the sensitivity of a single-channel receiver with matched signal and local oscillator polarisation.
Context-based ASIC synthesis (2003)

The authors describe methods for architecture-specific mapping of high-level functions ASICs. The techniques are demonstrated on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), but are not limited to those architectures. A network of generic modules provides an input specification from which a delay- and area-efficient logic-level design is synthesized. The methods described herein speed up design time significantly by automatically propagating partial data type specifications, performing architecture-specific design optimizations, and performing context-dependent module synthesis.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Eco-friendly streamlined process for sporopollenin exine capsule extraction (2016)

Sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs) extracted from Lycopodium clavatum spores are an attractive biomaterial possessing a highly robust structure suitable for microencapsulation strategies. Despite several decades of research into SEC extraction methods, the protocols commonly used for L. clavatum still entail processing with both alkaline and acidolysis steps at temperatures up to 180 °C and lasting up to 7 days. Herein, we demonstrate a significantly streamlined processing regimen, which indicates that much lower temperatures and processing durations can be used without alkaline lysis. By employing CHN elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and dynamic image particle analysis (DIPA), the optimum conditions for L. clavatum SEC processing were determined to include 30 hours acidolysis at 70 °C without alkaline lysis. Extending these findings to proof-of-concept encapsulation studies, we further demonstrate that our SECs are able to achieve a loading of 0.170 ± 0.01 g BSA per 1 g SECs by vacuum-assisted loading. Taken together, our streamlined processing method and corresponding characterization of SECs provides important insights for the development of applications including drug delivery, cosmetics, personal care products, and foods.
Summary of the LLNL gasoline spill demonstration - dynamic underground stripping project (1995)

Underground spills of volatile hydrocarbons (solvents or fuels) can be difficult to clean up when the hydrocarbons are present both above and below the water table and are found in relatively impermeable clays. Years of groundwater pumping may not completely remove the contamination. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the College of Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) have collaborated to develop a technique called Dynamic Underground Stripping to remove localized underground spills in a relatively short time. The U.S. Department of Energy`s Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management has sponsored a full-scale demonstration of this technique at the LLNL gasoline spill site. When highly concentrated contamination is found above the standing water table, vacuum extraction has been very effective at both removing the contaminant and enhancing biological remediation through the addition of oxygen. Below the water table, however, these advantages cannot be obtained. For such sites where the contamination is too deep for excavation, there are currently no widely applicable cleanup methods. Dynamic Underground Stripping removes separate-phase organic contaminants below the water table by heating the subsurface above the boiling point of water, and then removing both contaminant and water by vacuum extraction. The high temperatures both convert the organic to vapor and enhance other removal paths by increasing diffusion and eliminating sorption. Because this method uses rapid, high-energy techniques in cleaning the soil, it requires an integrated system of underground monitoring and imaging methods to control and evaluate the process in real time.
Structural comparison, modes of expression, and putative cis-acting elements of the two 4-coumarate: CoA ligase genes in potato (1991)

4-Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL), a key enzyme of phenylpropanoid metabolism in plants, is encoded in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) by two structurally similar genes (St4cl-1, St4cl-2). Computer-based sequence analyses revealed similarities at the amino acid sequence level with other enzymes dependent on ATP for activation of aromatic carboxylic acids, e.g. some bacterial peptide synthetases. All these enzymes have a common seven amino acid sequence motif containing one cysteine residue. Using an assay on the basis of the polymerase chain reaction, we show that the mRNAs from both 4CL genes accumulate to equal levels in suspension-cultured cells and whole plant tissues, independent of various kinds of activating stimulus applied and of the overall transcriptional activity of the genes. The apparent lack of differential expression, together with the fact that both 4CL genes and proteins are nearly identical in structure, make it unlikely that 4CL isoforms in potato have specific roles in metabolic channeling. Constitutive in vivo footprints in the TATA-box proximal region of the St4cl-1 promoter define putative cis-acting elements which may be involved in the responses of the 4CL genes to various endogenous and exogenous stimuli.
Luminescent Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) Molecules for Sensing and Logic Operations (2011)

Chemical species can serve as inputs to supramolecular devices so that a luminescence output is created in a conditional manner. Conditionality is built into these devices by employing the classical photochemical process of photoinduced electron transfer (PET) to compete with luminescence emission. The response of these devices in the analogue regime leads to sensors that can operate in nanometric, micrometric, and millimetric spaces. Some of these devices serve in membrane science, cell physiology, and medical diagnostics. The response in the digital regime leads to Boolean logic gates. Some of these find application in improving aspects of medical diagnostics and in identifying small objects in large populations.
Ultrafast Spin Dynamics in Ferromagnetic Nickel (1996)

The relaxation processes of electrons and spins systems following the absorption of femtosecond optical pulses in ferromagnetic nickel have been studied using optical and magneto-optical pump-probe techniques. The magnetization of the film drops rapidly during the first picosecond, but different electron and spin dynamics are observed for delays in the range 0--5 ps. The experimental results are adequately described by a model including three interacting reservoirs (electron, spin, and lattice).
Electrically pumped lasing from CdSe quantum dots (2001)

Fabrication of a ZnSe-based laser diode which employs a fivefold CdSe quantum dot stack separated by ZnSSe spacer layers of high S content is reported. For the first time, electrically pumped room-temperature lasing from such quantum dots was obtained at a wavelength around 560.5 nm. The threshold current density is 7.5 kA/cm2.
Cardiovascular effects of dopamine and dobutamine in conscious pigs with chronic heart failure (1993)

Both dopamine and dobutamine increased cardiac output in conscious pigs with chronic heart failure. Unlike the response in normal conscious pigs, in which only heart rate increased, in animals with heart failure, these agents enhanced both stroke volume and heart rate.
Hexacarbonyl (Trimethylsilyl Ethyne) Dicobalt as MOCVD Precursor for Thin Cobalt Layer Formation (2013)

Abstract The low melting Co 0 source [Co 2 (CO) 6 (η 2 ‐Me 3 SiC≡CH)] ( 3 ) was prepared as a precursor system for the metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of cobalt. The synthesis of 3 was realized by the reaction of trimethylsilyl acetylene ( 2 ) with dicobalt octacarbonyl ( 1 ) in n ‐hexane at ambient temperature. Vapor pressure measurements and TG‐MS analysis were performed revealing the suitability of 3 in the CVD process. Cobalt layers formed in a vertical cold wall CVD reactor were characterized by SEM, EDX, and XPS. The appropriate metallic films consist of a mixture of cobalt and cobalt oxide.
