Band Gap‐Tunable Molybdenum Sulfide Selenide Monolayer Alloy (2014)

The optical energy gap of as-grown MoS2 flakes from chemical vapor deposition can be modulated from 1.86 eV (667 nm) to 1.57 eV (790 nm) by a vapor phase selenization process. This approach, replacing one chalcogen by another in the gas phase, is promising in modulating the optical and electronic properties of other transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers.

Methylation demand and homocysteine metabolism: effects of dietary provision of creatine and guanidinoacetate (2001)

S-adenosylmethionine, formed by the adenylation of methionine via S-adenosylmethionine synthase, is the methyl donor in virtually all known biological methylations. These methylation reactions produce a methylated substrate and S-adenosylhomocysteine, which is subsequently metabolized to homocysteine. The methylation of guanidinoacetate to form creatine consumes more methyl groups than all other methylation reactions combined. Therefore, we examined the effects of increased or decreased methyl demand by these physiological substrates on plasma homocysteine by feeding rats guanidinoacetate- or creatine-supplemented diets for 2 wk. Plasma homocysteine was significantly increased (~50%) in rats maintained on guanidinoacetate-supplemented diets, whereas rats maintained on creatine-supplemented diets exhibited a significantly lower (~25%) plasma homocysteine level. Plasma creatine and muscle total creatine were significantly increased in rats fed the creatine-supplemented or guanidinoacetate-supplemented diets. The activity of kidney L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase, the enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of guanidinoacetate, was significantly decreased in both supplementation groups. To examine the role of the liver in mediating these changes in plasma homocysteine, isolated rat hepatocytes were incubated with methionine in the presence and absence of guanidinoacetate and creatine, and homocysteine export was measured. Homocysteine export was significantly increased in the presence of guanidinoacetate. Creatine, however, was without effect. These results suggest that homocysteine metabolism is sensitive to methylation demand imposed by physiological substrates.
The Incognito (2018)

This essay offers a reading of Walter Benjamin’s “The Moderne,” the third section of “The Paris of the Second Empire in Baudelaire.” It begins with an analysis of Baudelaire’s fantastic (or phantasmagoric) images of heroic figures found in Parisian crowds and proceeds to give an account of Benjamin’s analysis of how Baudelaire converts these fantasies into “roles” played by “the poet in Baudelaire,” whom Benjamin calls the “incognito.” By examining the essay’s composition, topics, and its insights into Baudelaire’s Les fleurs du mal, with particular regard for Benjamin’s findings on the poet’s “incognito,” the essay studies the logic of Benjamin’s findings, testing that logic through a reading of the prose-poem titled “La fausse monnaie.” It concludes by discussing Benjamin’s hypothesis in light of Jacques Derrida’s essay on that poem, as developed in his book Given Time: I. Counterfeit Money.
Local Unidirectional Bias for Cutsize-Delay Tradeoff in Performance-Driven Bipartitioning (2004)

Traditional multilevel partitioning approaches have shown good performance with respect to cutsize, but offer no guarantees with respect to system performance. Timing-driven partitioning methods based on iterated net reweighting, partitioning, and timing analysis have been proposed (Ababei et al., 2002), as well as methods that apply degrees of freedom such as retiming (Cong et al., 2000), (Cong et al., 2002). In this paper, we identify and validate a simple approach to timing-driven partitioning based on the concept of "V-shaped nodes." We observe that the presence of V-shaped nodes can badly impact circuit performance, as measured by maximum hopcount across the cutline or similar path delay criteria. We extend traditional the Fiduccia-Mattheyses (FM) variant of the Kernighan-Lin (Kernighan and Lin, 1970) algorithm approaches to directly eliminate or minimize "distance-k V-shaped nodes" in the bipartitioning solution, achieving an attractive tradeoff between cutsize and path delay. Experiments show that in comparison to MLPart (Caldwell et al., 2000), our method can reduce the maximum hopcount by 39% while only slightly increasing cutsize and runtime. No previous method improves path delay in such a transparent manner. The new partitioner is incorporated into a placer (http://vlsicad.ucsd.edu/GSRC/bookshelf/Slots/Placement/Capo/) and circuit delay is evaluated by a commercial static timing analyzer (http://www.ece.uci.edu/eceware/cadence/spl I.bar/docs/pearluser/). The empirical results show that the delay is significantly reduced, at the cost of very acceptable impacts on wirelength and runtime.
Evaluation of the corrosion resistance of different galvanized steels treated in a cerium salt solution (2005)

Analysis of polarization curves and impedance spectra has shown that the surface chemistry of galvanized steels plays an important role in determining their corrosion behavior. Zn-Ni samples that were untreated or had been treated in a 10 mM Ce(NO3)3 solution had the lowest corrosion rates in 0.5 N NaCl. The efficiency of the surface modification process was the highest for electrogalvanized steel. Surface analysis showed that the protective layers on Zn-Ni and electrogalvanized steel contained mainly cerium oxides/hydroxides, while the layer on hot-dipped steel consisted mainly of zinc hydroxide.

Dual-Fluorescent Donor−Acceptor Dyad with Tercarbazole Donor and Switchable Imide Acceptor: Promising Structure for an Integrated Logic Gate (2007)

A dual-fluorescent donor-acceptor (D-A) dyad with tercarbazole (donor) and 2,3-dithienylmaleimide (acceptor) was synthesized and characterized. The emission intensity of long wavelength could be regulated by either bistable structures of the dyad or the polarities of solvents. By mimicking the function of an integrated logic gate, a 2-input AND logic operation is established. [reaction: see text].

Using the UML 2.0 activity diagram to model agent plans and actions (2005)

The behavior of an agent is defined through the specification of plans and actions. Agents have a set of plans that are selected to be executed according to their goals (and other mental state information). In this paper, we propose the use of UML 2.0 activity diagrams to model agent plans and actions. We consider a plan to be an activity. Both plans and activities are composed of actions and define the action execution sequence. By using some features available in the UML 2.0 activity diagrams and defining some new ones, we demonstrate how these diagrams can be applied to model agent plans and actions.
Islet-activating protein blocks glucagon desensitization in intact hepatocytes (1984)

Treatment of intact hepatocytes with islet-activating protein, from Bordatella pertussis, led to a pronounced increase in the ability of glucagon to raise intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations. Islet-activating protein, however, caused no apparent increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP under basal conditions. These effects were attributed to an enhanced ability of adenylate cyclase, in membranes from hepatocytes treated with islet-activating protein, to be stimulated by glucagon. When forskolin was used to amplify the basal adenylate cyclase activity, elevated GTP concentrations were shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in membranes from control hepatocytes. This inhibitory effect of GTP was abolished if the hepatocytes had been pre-treated with islet activating protein. In isolated liver plasma membranes, islet-activating protein caused the NAD-dependent ribosylation of a Mr-40000 protein, the putative inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni. This effect was inhibited if guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate rather than GTP was present in the ribosylation incubations. The ability of glucagon to uncouple or desensitize the activity of adenylate cyclase in intact hepatocytes was also blocked by pre-treating hepatocytes with islet-activating protein. Islet-activating protein thus heightens the response of hepatocytes to the stimulatory hormone glucagon. It achieves this by both inhibiting the expression of desensitization and also removing a residual inhibitory input expressed in the presence of glucagon.
High-performance EB chemically amplified resists using alicyclic protective groups (2000)

The impact of alicyclic protective groups on acid-labile substituents in a vinylphenol-methacrylate-based chemically amplified positive resist was investigated. The resist consists of the copolymer of vinylphenol and adamantyl methacrylate (VP/AdMA) with triflate onium salt as a photo- acid generator. The alicyclic protective groups in our system show a higher reactivity and higher hydrophobicity than those of the tert-butyl group, which is widely used in chemically amplified resists. The resists containing the alicyclic protective group resolved 0.09-micrometer hole patterns at 6 (mu) C/cm<SUP>2</SUP>, and a resist with a base additive resolved 0.12-micrometer line and space patterns at 9.0 (mu) C/cm<SUP>2</SUP> using a 50-keV EB lithography system with a 2.38% TMAH aqueous solution as the developer. The dry etching durability of resists containing the alicyclic group was also compared with resists containing the tert-butyl group and with polyvinylphenol (PVP). The dry etching durability of our resists for a C<SUB>4</SUB>F<SUB>8</SUB> plasma was 1.3 times superior to that of resist containing the tert-butyl group, and 1.1 times better than that of PVP. This means the thickness of film in pattern fabrication can be reduced to obtain a higher sensitivity and higher resolution.
Lentivirus Infection in the Brain Induces Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression: Role of Envelope Diversity (2000)

Infection of the brain by lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), causes inflammation and results in neurodegeneration. Molecular diversity within the lentivirus envelope gene has been implicated in the regulation of cell tropism and the host response to infection. Here, we examine the hypothesis that envelope sequence diversity modulates the expression of host molecules implicated in lentivirus-induced brain disease, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and related transcription factors. Infection of primary macrophages by chimeric HIV clones containing brain-derived envelope fragments from patients with HIV-associated dementia (HAD) or nondemented AIDS patients (HIV-ND) showed that MMP-2 and -9 levels in conditioned media were significantly higher for the HAD clones. Similarly, STAT-1 and JAK-1 levels were higher in macrophages infected by HAD clones. Infections of primary feline macrophages by the neurovirulent FIV strain (V(1)CSF), the less neurovirulent strain (Petaluma), and a chimera containing the V(1)CSF envelope in a Petaluma background (FIV-Ch) revealed that MMP-2 and -9 levels were significantly higher in conditioned media from V(1)CSF- and FIV-Ch-infected macrophages, which was associated with increased intracellular STAT-1 and JAK-1 levels. The STAT-1 inhibitor fludarabine significantly reduced MMP-2 expression, but not MMP-9 expression, in FIV-infected macrophages. Analysis of MMP mRNA and protein levels in brain samples from HIV-infected persons or FIV-infected cats showed that MMP-2 and -9 levels were significantly increased in lentivirus-infected brains compared to those of uninfected controls. Elevated MMP expression was accompanied by significant increases in STAT-1 and JAK-1 mRNA and protein levels in the same brain samples. The present findings indicate that two lentiviruses, HIV and FIV, have common mechanisms of MMP-2 and -9 induction, which is modulated in part by envelope sequence diversity and the STAT-1/JAK-1 signaling pathway.
Inactivation Kinetics Study of the Kunitz Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor and the Bowman−Birk Inhibitor (1998)

The inactivation of trypsin inhibitors (TIs) in soy flour exhibits a two-phase inactivation behavior. It is sometimes assumed that this behavior is caused by a difference in the heat stabilities of the Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor (KSTI) and the Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI). Kinetics studies with KSTI and BBI in soy flour showed that this two-phase inactivation behavior of TIs could not be explained by the difference in the heat stabilities of KSTI and BBI. Inactivation of KSTI and BBI in an aqueous solution and in a starch matrix followed a first-order reaction. KSTI and BBI in a starch matrix with added cysteine showed a two-phase inactivation behavior. The existence of thiols in soy flour seems to be responsible for the two-phase inactivation of TIs in soy flour. It is suggested that TIs in soy flour are inactivated by sulfhydryl-disulfide interchange during the first inactivation phase and by heat during the second phase.
Effects of the selective I<sub>1</sub> imidazoline receptor agonist, moxonidine, on gastric secretion and gastric mucosal injury in rats (1995)

1. Previous reports of the effects of alpha 2-adrenoceptor stimulation on gastric secretion are inconsistent because it was not clear whether the compounds were activating alpha 2-adrenoceptors and/or newly described imidazoline receptors. In the present experiments, the effects of moxonidine, an I1-imidazoline receptor agonist and antihypertensive agent, on gastric secretion and on experimental gastric mucosal injury were examined. 2. Moxonidine (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mg kg-1, i.p.) potently inhibited basal (non-stimulated) gastric acid secretion in conscious rats with an ED50 of 0.04 mg kg-1. Two hours following administration of the highest dose of moxonidine (1.0 mg kg-1), gastric acid output was completely suppressed. Moxonidine also significantly increased intragastric pH, at the two highest doses. 3. The alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist, clonidine (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mg kg-1, i.p.) decreased basal acid secretion at the lowest dose (37%) and at the highest dose (46%), while the intermediate dose did not affect gastric acid output. 4. In an ethanol-induced model of gastric mucosal injury, moxonidine decreased the length of lesions at the lowest and highest doses (0.01 and 1.0 mg kg-1) as well as the number of the lesions, at the highest dose (1.0 mg kg-1). 5. In pylorus-ligated rats, moxonidine significantly decreased acid secretion (all doses), total secretory volume (1.0 mg kg-1) as well as pepsin output (1.0 mg kg-1). 6. In comparison to clonidine, moxonidine appears to be a more potent anti-secretory and gastric-protective compound. These data indicate a potential role for imidazoline receptor agonists in the management of gastroduodenal diseases associated with hypertension. The relative contribution of the central and peripheral effects of moxonidine to these gastrointestinal actions remains to be determined.
Consumer Scams and the Elderly: Preserving Independence through Shifting Default Rules (2009)

Modern technology has made it easier than ever for scammers, legitimate businesses with dubious intentions, and even charities to take advantage of telemarketing. For reasons including reduced mental faculties and loneliness, the elderly are increasingly at risk for losing money, credit, and ultimately independence to those who would exploit them. In this Article, Professor Martin explores the benefits of existing regulations, bankruptcy, and reverse mortgages as solutions to these problems. Professor Martin also recommends a new default rule for elderly consumers: no solicitations unless the consumer opts in.
High-speed multiple-mode mass-sensing resolves dynamic nanoscale mass distributions (2015)

Abstract Simultaneously measuring multiple eigenmode frequencies of nanomechanical resonators can determine the position and mass of surface-adsorbed proteins, and could ultimately reveal the mass tomography of nanoscale analytes. However, existing measurement techniques are slow (<1 Hz bandwidth), limiting throughput and preventing use with resonators generating fast transient signals. Here we develop a general platform for independently and simultaneously oscillating multiple modes of mechanical resonators, enabling frequency measurements that can precisely track fast transient signals within a user-defined bandwidth that exceeds 500 Hz. We use this enhanced bandwidth to resolve signals from multiple nanoparticles flowing simultaneously through a suspended nanochannel resonator and show that four resonant modes are sufficient for determining their individual position and mass with an accuracy near 150 nm and 40 attograms throughout their 150-ms transit. We envision that our method can be readily extended to other systems to increase bandwidth, number of modes, or number of resonators.

Non-invasive respiratory movement detection and monitoring of hidden humans using ultra wideband pulse radar (2004)

In this paper a novel method for vital parameter detection using an ultra wideband (UWB) pulse radar is presented. By using sub-nanosecond pulses the displacement of a human chest due to respiratory movement can be detected very accurately. Because of the very broadband behavior of the transmit signal the presented system is also capable of penetrating materials like walls. For signal processing we use the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) with a special background subtraction method. This allows a detection of respiration up to a distance of 5 meters and also behind walls. The radar test set-up with the used components and the applied signal processing on real measurement data are presented.

On Ionic Association in Ambient Temperature Chloroaluminate Molten Salts: Analysis of Electrochemical and Conductance Data (1985)

A simple model based on the validity of the Nernst‐Einstein equation and a constant product was applied to the interpretation of conductance data for ambient temperature ionic liquids. The dissociation constants of and were calculated, and the experimental values of specific conductivity were reproduced with an error not exceeding 5% from ionic mobilities calculated from electrochemically measured diffusion coefficients. This calculation suggests that about 50% of the ions are associated into ion pairs. For very basic melts , the formation of ion aggregates is postulated.

Diol diricinoleates from dihaloalkanes (1970)

Abstract A series of alkanediol diricinoleates was prepared by heating ricinoleic acid with triethylamine and dibromo‐ or dichloroalkanes containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms. As expected, the dibromides react more rapidly than the dichlorides. This method of esterification avoids the side reaction of estolide formation which occurs when ricinoleates are prepared by direct esterification or transesterification. The products are high molecular weight diols which should be useful in the preparation of polyurethanes.
The Intrinsic Complement Regulator Decay-Accelerating Factor Modulates the Biological Response to Vascular Injury (2010)

Decay-accelerating factor control of C3a and C5a generation and prevention of the binding of these activation fragments to the C3a and C5a receptors are critical for the biological response to vascular injury. Targeting the C3a and C5a receptors may be useful for the prevention of neointimal hyperplasia.
