Atomic layer deposition of crystalline molybdenum oxide thin films and phase control by post-deposition annealing (2018)

3 MoO 2 Thin films a b s t r a c t Molybdenum forms a range of oxides with different stoichiometries and crystal structures, which lead to different properties and performance in diverse applications. Herein, crystalline molybdenum oxide thin films with controlled phase composition are deposited by atomic layer deposition. The MoO 2 (thd) 2 and O 3 as precursors enable well-controlled growth of uniform and conformal films at 200e275 C. The asdeposited films are rough and, in most cases, consist of a mixture of aand b-MoO 3 as well as an unidentified suboxide MoO x (2.75
FORECASTING QUERIES IN ORACLE (2008)

In order to make analyisis and what if queries, Oracle has
					included to SQL language the MODEL clause. This type of queries can
					be posed in SQL standard too. In this article we compare both
					approaches. We present a set of queries through MODEL clause and
					SQL standard. The results evidence the advantages of the MODEL
					clause: the simplicity in the queries implementation and the
					computational saving that is reached avoiding joins, correlated
					subqueries and unions.
hy8, a new class of arabidopsis long hypocotyl mutants deficient in functional phytochrome A. (1993)

Emerging evidence suggests that individual members of the phytochrome family of photoreceptors may regulate discrete facets of plant photomorphogenesis. We report here the isolation of phytochrome A mutants of Arabidopsis using a novel screening strategy aimed at detecting seedlings with long hypocotyls in prolonged far-red light. Complementation analysis of 10 selected mutant lines showed that each represents an independent, recessive allele at a new locus, designated hy8. Immunoblot and spectrophotometric analyses of two of these lines, hy8-1 and hy8-2, showed that, whereas phytochromes B and C are expressed at wild-type levels, phytochrome A is undetectable, thus indicating that the long hypocotyl phenotype displayed by these mutants is caused by phytochrome A deficiency. A third allele, hy8-3, expresses wild-type levels of spectrally normal phytochrome A, suggesting a mutation that has resulted in loss of biological activity in an otherwise photochemically active photoreceptor molecule. Together with physiological experiments, these data provide direct evidence that endogenous phytochrome A is responsible for the "far-red high irradiance response" of etiolated seedlings, but does not play a major role in mediating responses to prolonged red or white light. Because the hy8 and the phytochrome B-deficient hy3 mutants exhibit reciprocal responsivity toward prolonged red and far-red light, respectively, the evidence indicates that phytochromes A and B have distinct photosensory roles in regulating seedling development.
PCH Power gating domains implementation and design challenges (2010)

This paper discusses the methodology used for improving power savings on a new Platform Control Hub (PCH); an advanced System-on-a-Chip (SOC). Low power design techniques had evolved from those used in multiple chips on a package designs towards more efficient ones in a System-on-a-Chip (SOC). The example that this paper is based on, had improved power savings up to 47% compared to the previous generation of PCH. Thus, with the new improvement, we will see a much better battery life span for a mobile computing platform and also make desktop computing platforms more eco friendly. We will be looking at a multiple power domains design; governed by different stages of PFET switches, local power gating controller and central power gating controller implemented in the new Platform Control Hub (PCH). Further more, a newly introduced routing scheme of self-isolated repeater cells which feeds through different power domain will also be discusses; as we also look at design approaches that were taken to avoid causing a big impact to voltage drop and electro migration on power grids of different metal layers. These design are in place to further improve the standby power saving and reduce sub-threshold leakage. However, the design also introduces some challenges and trade-off between wake-up overhead and leakage savings that need to be carefully balance while conducting power delivery modeling analysis. To round up the paper, we will present measurements of power savings in gating and ungating from silicon debugs; to validate the correlation between simulation modeling and actual silicon implementation.

Spatially resolved measurements of HTS microwave surface impedance (1999)

We describe further development of a novel technique for the characterization of microwave properties of HTS films which allows the spatial variation of this important physical parameter to be measured. The method employs a dielectric puck system that can be moved over the surface of a large HTS wafer, sampling the surface impedance at a number of discrete frequencies between 5 and 15 GHz. The surface impedance can also be rapidly measured as a function of microwave magnetic field strength. Spatial resolution for the prototype system is as small as 1-2 mm. The surface resistance and the shift in surface reactance can be measured by using a loop oscillator which can be interrupted by a fast microwave switch. The decay of microwave power in the resonator is then monitored as a function of time to determine the power dependent surface impedance parameters. This process is extremely fast and straightforward and the loop oscillator configuration permits only relatively inexpensive components to be used. We describe measurements made at 11.5 GHz of the spatial variation of the non-linear surface impedance of a number of HTS films at 77 K.
Self‐Assembled DNA Hydrogels with Designable Thermal and Enzymatic Responsiveness (2010)

An easy and versatile approach to construct DNA hydrogels is reported. The DNA building blocks, a Y-scaffold and a linker, can self-assemble into DNA hydrogels by the hybridization of their “sticky ends”. It is shown that the DNA hydrogels undergo a sol-gel transition upon heat or enzymatic treatment, and these responsiveness can be adjusted by tailoring the sequence of the building blocks.

Polydichlorophosphazene Polymerization Studies (1981)

Abstract Polydichlorophosphazene (NPC12)X is unique as a synthetic precursor for poly(organo)phosphazenes [1–6] and presents special problems in polymerization studies because of branching, crosslinking, and cyclization reactions and in characterization due to the polymer's hydrolytic instability. This paper reviews the literature and discusses problem areas and recent advances relating to polydichlorophosphazene polymerization. Melt, solution, and irradiation polymerization reactions and mechanisms are discussed. Previously unpublished results are presented, and current research efforts and areas for future investigation are considered.
[Interference factors in the in vivo diagnosis of the thyroid]. (1985)

Anamnestic iodine contamination and medication with thyroid drugs were registered in 260 patients of a clinical thyroid care unit and 200 patients of a thyroid doctor's office in the southern German endemic goiter region. We found in the university clinic 54% patients with interfering factors, 30% with iodine contamination and 20% with multiple interferences. In the physician's practice there were 18%, nearly all treated with thyroid hormone. The influence of those factors on thyroidal technetium uptake and the resulting restriction on its diagnostic value is discussed.
Sum1, a Highly Conserved WD-Repeat Protein, Suppresses S-M Checkpoint Mutants and Inhibits the Osmotic Stress Cell Cycle Response in Fission Yeast (1998)

The S-M checkpoint ensures that entry into mitosis is dependent on completion of DNA replication. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the SM checkpoint mutant cdc2-3w is thought to be defective in receiving the checkpoint signal. To isolate genes that function in the checkpoint pathway, we screened an S. pombe cDNA library for genes that, when overexpressed, could suppress the checkpoint defect of cdc2-3w. Using this approach, we have identified a novel gene, sum1+ (suppressor of uncontrolled mitosis). sum1+ encodes a highly conserved WD-transducin repeat protein with striking sequence similarity to the human transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta-receptor interacting protein TRIP-1 and to the translation initiation factor 3 subunit eIF3-p39, encoded by the TIF34 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. pombe sum1+ is an essential gene, required for normal cell growth and division. In addition to restoring checkpoint control, overexpression of sum1+ inhibits the normal cell cycle response to osmotic stress. Furthermore, we demonstrate that inactivation of the stress-activated MAP kinase pathway, required for cell cycle stress response, restores the S-M checkpoint in cdc2-3w cells. These results suggest that Suml interacts with the stress-activated MAP kinase pathway and raise the possibility that environmental conditions may influence the checkpoint response in fission yeast.
Stress dielectric response in liquid polymers (2005)

Deformation-induced dielectric response of dielectric materials, called dielectrostriction, provides a new approach to study properties and structure of liquid polymers. The dielectrostriction effect resembles the well-known birefringence phenomenon. While birefringence in liquid polymers is described by the stress-optic relationship, a stress-dielectric relationship applies to dielectrostriction. However, dielectrostriction measurements can be performed on both transparent and opaque materials, require a much simpler data acquisition technique, are capable of local measuring stresses, and can be implemented for in-line monitoring of polymer processing. In this study, a planar capacitor sensor technique has been developed to detect the dielectrostriction effect in shear flow of liquid polymers. Experimental evidences of the dielectrostriction effect and the stress-dielectric relationship in liquid polymers are presented for both silicone elastomer and poly(ε-caprolactone). Mechanisms contributing to the similarity between the stress-dielectric and the stress-optic relationship are discussed.
Geometrical understanding of the PCA subspace method for overdetermined blind source separation (2003)

We discuss approaches for blind source separation where we can use more sensors than the number of sources for a better performance. The discussion focuses mainly on reducing the dimension of mixed signals before applying independent component analysis. We compare two previously proposed methods. The first is based on principal component analysis, where noise reduction is achieved. The second involves selecting a subset of sensors based on the fact that a low frequency prefers a wide spacing and a high frequency prefers a narrow spacing. We found that the PCA-based method behaves similarly to the geometry-based method for low frequencies in the way that it emphasizes the outer sensors and yields superior results for high frequencies, which provides a better understanding of the former method.
Novel integration technologies for highly manufacturable 32 Mb FRAM (2003)

Ferroelectric random access memory (FRAM) has been considered as a future memory device due to its ideal properties such as non-volatility, high endurance, fast write/read time and low power consumption. Recently, a 4 Mb FRAM was developed using 1T1C capacitor-on-bit-line (COB) cell structure and triple metallization (S.Y. Lee et al, VLSI Symp. Tech. Dig., p. 141, 1999). However, the current 4 Mb FRAM device cannot satisfactorily be used as a major memory device for stand-alone application due to its low density, cost ineffectiveness, and large cell size factor. Therefore, it is strongly desired to develop high density FRAM devices beyond 32 Mb for application to stand-alone memory devices. In this paper, we report for the first time development of a highly manufacturable 32 Mb FRAM, achieved by 300 nm capacitor stack technology in a COB cell structure, a double encapsulated barrier layer (EBL) scheme, an optimal inter-layer dielectric (ILD) and intermetallic dielectric (IMD) technology, and a novel common cell-via scheme.
Vehicle life and performance. You're in the driver's seat. (1989)

The emergency vehicle may be the most crucial lifesaving tool in a successful emergency medical services operation, yet many EMS systems fail to prepare employees to properly operate and maintain these vehicles. The price for this oversight is increased maintenance and repair costs and decreased vehicle life and performance. In this discussion, the term "Emergency Vehicle Operator" is used synonymously with the more common, but dated, term "ambulance driver." Improved vehicle operations require teamwork among vehicle purchasers, operators, maintenance staff, management, EMS educators and medical crews. This approach will pay off in a more reliable and cost-effective system, and, ultimately, in higher quality patient care.

Toxic Human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (h-IAPP) Oligomers Are Intracellular, and Vaccination to Induce Anti-Toxic Oligomer Antibodies Does Not Prevent h-IAPP–Induced β-Cell Apoptosis in h-IAPP Transgenic Mice (2007)

IAPP toxic oligomers form in h-IAPP transgenic mouse models, and anti-toxic oligomer antibodies do not prevent h-IAPP-induced beta-cell apoptosis. These data suggest that prevention of h-IAPP oligomer formation may be more useful than a vaccination-based approach in the prevention of type 2 diabetes.
Numerical Modeling of Nonlinear Elastic Components of Mooring Systems (2005)

This paper deals with the finite-element analysis of compliant structures containing nonlinear elastic components and subjected to loading by waves and currents. An efficient procedure to model such components is developed and implemented in a computer program. It can be applied to analyze nonlinear elastic ropes, rubber tethers, risers, and hoses. The elastic modulus is assumed to depend on the amount of strain in a component. The Newton-Raphson iteration scheme is modified to account for the change of elastic properties on each step of time integration procedure. The approach is applied to develop feed buoy mooring systems for the University of New Hampshire Open Ocean Aquaculture site. The complex nonlinear and viscoelastic load-elongation behavior of suitable high stretch mooring elements for this application is modeled to obtain realistic numerical predictions at sea conditions. Various designs and environmental loading scenarios are considered. Numerical simulations provide predictions of the overall dynamics of the system and maximum values of tensions in critical components.
A browser-based event display for the CMS Experiment at the LHC using WebGL (2017)

Modern web browsers are powerful and sophisticated applications that support an ever-wider range of uses. One such use is rendering high-quality, GPU-accelerated, interactive 2D and 3D graphics in an HTML canvas. This can be done via WebGL, a JavaScript API based on OpenGL ES. Applications delivered via the browser have several distinct benefits for the developer and user. For example, they can be implemented using well-known and well-developed technologies, while distribution and use via a browser allows for rapid prototyping and deployment and ease of installation. In addition, delivery of applications via the browser allows for easy use on mobile, touch-enabled devices such as phones and tablets. iSpy WebGL is an application for visualization of events detected and reconstructed by the CMS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The first event display developed for an LHC experiment to use WebGL, iSpy WebGL is a client-side application written in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS and uses the WebGL API three.js. iSpy WebGL is used for monitoring of CMS detector performance, for production of images and animations of CMS collisions events for the public, as a virtual reality application using Google Cardboard, and asa tool available for public education and outreach such as in the CERN Open Data Portal and the CMS masterclasses. We describe here its design, development, and usage as well as future plans.
Color-Shape Based Image Retrieval (2004)

In this study, a new image retrieval algorithm based on region color and spatial information is presented. Concerning the color information, the perceptually uniform HSV color space has been employed. The method presents a new way to localize the characteristics of the queries by partitioning the image into m × n equal-sized sub-images (or blocks )and applying different features to each block in the similarity measuring phase. A hue that has enough number of pixels in a block is extracted to represent its content and the whole image content is represented by the extracted hues of the blocks,after that,hue histogram is used as the description of the image color feature. In order to extract the shape feature of the image,two notions .flatness and roughness of the sub-image are proposed in this paper. Using these two properties the blocks of the image are quantified into different types. The histogram of the types is used to represent the shape feature of the entire image. Experiments show that this algorithm is more effective in the image retrieval than the other algorithms discussed in the paper.
