<title>Plasma etch characteristics of electron-beam processed photoresist</title> (1995)

This paper investigates the plasma etch characteristics of electron beam processed photoresist. A standard positive novolak photoresist, as well as an advanced deep-UV photoresist, are evaluated. Etch characteristics are determined for an oxide etch application. Etch selectivity of the photoresist is determined as a function of electron beam dose. Photoresist undercut and wall slope variation are also determined as a function of dose. The performance of the electron beam processed photoresist is evaluated for line and via formation. The etch characteristics of the electron beam processed photoresist are compared with the etch characteristics for untreated and thermally processed photoresist. In most cases there is an improvement in photoresist profile integrity with increasing electron beam dose. Interaction of the processed photoresist with the plasma chemistry, and its effect on post process removal, are also presented. Finally, a process model is presented for using the electron beam process in current production plasma etch applications.
Abkömmlinge des Tricyclodecans auf dem Fettgebiet II: Eigenschaften und Reaktionen von Derivaten des Tricyclo‐(5,2,1,0<sup>2,6</sup>)‐decans (1965)

Abstract Das durch Hydroformylierung von Dicyclopentadien zu erhaltende Hydroxymethyltricyclo‐(5,2,1,0 2,6 )‐decan erwies sich als ein Gemisch von 9 Isomeren, die beim Alkohol selbst wie bei verschiedenen Derivaten durch die unterschiedliche sterische Abschirmung der jeweiligen funktionellen Gruppe verschiedene Reaktivitäten zeigten, was bei manchen Reaktionen zu einer merklichen Selektion führte. Allgemein war die Reaktivität gegenüber der gewöhnlicher Alkylverbindungen stark herabgesetzt. Auf die strukturelle Eigenart des Tricyclodecan‐Gerüstes wird auch die Bildung eines bemerkenswerten Carbonsäure‐Natriumsalz‐Komplexes und das Verhalten des Bistricyclodecylmethyl‐dimethyl‐ammoniumjodids zurückgeführt. Die ungenügende Micellbildung einiger Derivate zeigte, daß der Alkohol als Waschmittelrohstoff nicht geeignet ist.
In Situ Exposure to Low Herbicide Concentrations Affects Microbial Population Composition and Catabolic Gene Frequency in an Aerobic Shallow Aquifer (2003)

The aim of this study was to evaluate how the in situ exposure of a Danish subsurface aquifer to phenoxy acid herbicides at low concentrations (<40 micro g l(-1)) changes the microbial community composition. Sediment and groundwater samples were collected inside and outside the herbicide-exposed area and were analyzed for the presence of general microbial populations, Pseudomonas bacteria, and specific phenoxy acid degraders. Both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods were applied. The abundance of microbial phenoxy acid degraders (10(0) to 10(4) g(-1) sediment) was determined by most probable number assays, and their presence was only detected in herbicide-exposed sediments. Similarly, PCR analysis showed that the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid degradation pathway genes tfdA and tfdB (10(2) to 10(3) gene copies g(-1) sediment) were only detected in sediments from contaminated areas of the aquifer. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism measurements demonstrated the presence of different populations of tfd genes, suggesting that the in situ herbicide degradation was caused by the activity of a heterogeneous population of phenoxy acid degraders. The number of Pseudomonas bacteria measured by either PCR or plating on selective agar media was higher in sediments subjected to high levels of phenoxy acid. Furthermore, high numbers of CFU compared to direct counting of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole-stained cells in the microscope suggested an increased culturability of the indigenous microbial communities from acclimated sediments. The findings of this study demonstrate that continuous exposure to low herbicide concentrations can markedly change the bacterial community composition of a subsurface aquifer.
Evidence that Granulocyte/Macrophage-Colony-Stimulating Factor and Interferon-γ Maintain the Viability of Human Peripheral Blood Monocytes in Part by Their Suppression of IL-10 Production (1995)

Prolonged culture of human peripheral blood monocytes hPBMs requires the addition of both granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon (IFN)-gamma. Cultured hPMBs challenged with lipopolysaccharide produced large amounts of several cytokines but very little interleukin (IL)-10. However, when GM-CSF and IFN-gamma were omitted from the cultures, IL-10 production was readily demonstrated. Addition of IL-10 to the cultures potently inhibited the production of several cytokines and, in the presence of GM-CSF and IFN-gamma, there was no loss in cell number. In contrast, when IL-10 was added to cultures in the absence of GM-CSF and IFN-gamma, there was an accelerated loss of viable cells. A monoclonal antibody to IL-10, which had no effect on cell survival in the presence of GM-CSF and IFN-gamma, partly prevented the loss of cells which occurred in the absence of IL-10 and these additives. Preliminary studies suggest that inclusion of anti-IL-10 can partly prevent the apoptosis which occurs when GM-CSF and IFN-gamma are omitted from the cultures. These observations suggest that there is a cause and effect relationship between the failure of hPBMs to produce IL-10 when they are cultured in the presence of GM-CSF and IFN-gamma and protection from apoptosis by these additives.

Splitting complex temporal questions for question answering systems (2004)

This paper presents a multi-layered Question Answering (Q.A.) architecture suitable for enhancing current Q.A. capabilities with the possibility of processing complex questions. That is, questions whose answer needs to be gathered from pieces of factual information scattered in different documents. Specifically, we have designed a layer oriented to process the different types of temporal questions. Complex temporal questions are first decomposed into simpler ones, according to the temporal relationships expressed in the original question.In the same way, the answers of each simple question are re-composed, fulfilling the temporal restrictions of the original complex question.Using this architecture, a Temporal Q.A. system has been developed.In this paper, we focus on explaining the first part of the process: the decomposition of the complex questions. Furthermore, it has been evaluated with the TERQAS question corpus of 112 temporal questions. For the task of question splitting our system has performed, in terms of precision and recall, 85% and 71%, respectively.
The “Dawn Phenomenon” — A Common Occurrence in Both Non-Insulin-Dependent and Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (1984)

The dawn phenomenon is a condition recently described in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) that is characterized by abrupt increases in fasting levels of plasma glucose or insulin requirements or both between 5 and 9 a.m., in the absence of antecedent hypoglycemia. To determine its potential clinical relevance, we assessed its frequency and reproducibility in 20 patients with IDDM and in 13 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) during overnight closed-loop (feedback-controlled) intravenous insulin infusion. After 6 a.m., plasma glucose levels increased similarly in NIDDM (89 +/- 2 mg per deciliter, midnight to 6 a.m., vs. 98 +/- 2 mg per deciliter, 6 to 9 a.m.; P less than 0.01). Insulin requirements increased at least 50 per cent for 1 1/2 hours in 77 per cent of patients with NIDDM and in 75 per cent of patients with IDDM. In five patients with IDDM who were studied on four occasions, the phenomenon occurred during 17 of the 20 observation periods, with insulin requirements after 6 a.m. increasing 225 +/- 34 per cent; coefficients of variation in individual patients ranged from 4 to 25 per cent. Thus, the dawn phenomenon occurs commonly in both NIDDM and IDDM, but its potential variability must be taken into consideration when one is attempting to adjust insulin doses.
Interferon Inducers Protect Mice against <i>Plasmodium berghei</i> Malaria (1968)

A 12-bit medium-time analog storage device in a CMOS standard process (1998)

A new 12-bit medium-time analog storage device is presented. The proposed circuit is based on a fully differential two-stage operational amplifier (opamp) working as a sample-and-hold circuit (S&H). A novel refresh scheme employing common-mode rejection has been developed which extends the storage time on a capacitance beyond the border of voltage decay caused by charge leaking. Measurements show 12- and 8-bit resolution for 15 and 330 s, respectively, at room temperature. Compared to analog storage on a simple capacitance, the new scheme offers 84% area reduction for the same storage times while achieving much faster read-write cycle times. The circuit is intended for use in analog neural networks. The basic idea can be extended to design simple low-cost S&H circuits.

Parathyroid hormone-related peptide—a smooth muscle tone and proliferation regulatory protein (1998)

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) appears to play crucial roles in the cardiovascular system. Over the past few years it has become apparent that there is more than one receptor recognizing parathyroid hormone or PTHrP, or both, and that PTHrP is not only a potent vasodilator of vascular smooth muscle cell tone, but is also a regulator of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and a secretagogue of renin and vasopressin. Investigators in several laboratories have started to query whether PTHrP intervenes in vascular diseases such as hypertension, (re)stenosis-atherosclerosis and endotoxaemia.
Yttrium-90 and iodine-131 radioimmunoglobulin therapy of an experimental human hepatoma. (1989)

Therapeutic trials were performed on the HepG2 human hepatoblastoma implanted s.c. in the athymic nude mouse. Animals were treated with polyclonal and monoclonal antiferritin and control antibodies labeled with either iodine-131 (131I) or yttrium-90 (90Y). Administration of 400 muCi of 131I-labeled polyclonal antiferritin or 300 muCi of 90Y-labeled polyclonal antiferritin significantly increased survival (P less than 0.001). There were no tumor cures with radiolabeled polyclonal antibody therapy. Animals treated with 200 or 300 muCi of 131I-labeled monoclonal antiferritin (QCI054) did not show increased survival compared to controls. Although 400 muCi of 131I-labeled QCI significantly prolonged survival, treatment resulted in no long-term survivors. Monoclonal antiferritin labeled with 90Y significantly prolonged survival of animals (P less than 0.001) at doses of 100, 200, or 300 muCi compared with untreated controls. Fifty % of the animals treated with 200 muCi and 75% of the animals treated with 300 muCi showed no evidence of disease at 140 days following treatment. Four hundred muCi of 90Y-labeled QCI proved toxic to the animals. Increased survival was accompanied by a decrease in tumor mitotic rate and increase in cellular polymorphism as determined by pathological examination. The radiation dose absorbed in the tumor correlated directly with tumor response following treatment. The absorbed dose in tumors for complete decay of the isotope ranged from 165 and 330 cGy at the periphery and center of small tumors for an administered activity of 200 muCi of 131I-labeled polyclonal antiferritin, to 7,573 and 12,400 cGy for 300 muCi of 90Y-labeled monoclonal antiferritin QCI.

Correction: Circulating microRNA signature as liquid-biopsy to monitor lung cancer in low-dose computed tomography screening (2019)

A significant reduction in lung cancer mortality was reported among the subjects enrolled in the LDCT arm of the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) when compared to the chest X-ray arm, along with a false discovery rate of 96.4% and an overdiagnosis global rate of 18.5%, reaching 78.9% for indolent cancers in the LDCT arm.
Target-controlled infusion of propofol for fibreoptic intubation (2003)

Background and objective: In a retrospective study, we examined the suitability of a departmental clinical protocol for anaesthesia induction with target-controlled infusion of propofol developed for fibreoptic intubation in spontaneously breathing patients scheduled for outpatient oral surgery at the dental clinic of the Vienna University Hospital. Methods: Propofol was administered using target-controlled infusion (Diprifusor®) at increasing target plasma concentrations starting at 2.5 μg mL−1. After 10 min, an intravenous dose of alfentanil (5-10 μg kg−1) was given for pain reduction. After a further 2 min, the patient was evaluated for response to auditory stimulation. If unresponsive, fibreoptic intubation was performed, otherwise the target concentration was increased by 0.2 μg mL−1 every 2 min until non-responsiveness was attained. Results: Tracheal intubation was successful in all patients without any haemodynamic instability. However, one patient required facemask ventilation for 2 min. No patient was aware of intubation. The plasma concentration required for non-responsiveness was 2.8 ± 0.4 μg mL−1 (mean ± SD). Conclusions: When using a target-controlled infusion of propofol, fibreoptic intubation can be performed with complete amnesia of the procedure for the patient. However, assisted ventilation of the lungs may be necessary as spontaneous ventilation may cease.
Enlarging a Smartphone with AR to Create a Handheld VESAD (Virtually Extended Screen-Aligned Display) (2018)

We investigate using augmented reality to extend the screen of a smartphone beyond its physical limits with a virtual surface that is co-planar with the phone and that follows as the phone is moved. We call this extension a VESAD, or Virtually Extended Screen-Aligned Display. We illustrate and describe several ways that a VESAD could be used to complement the physical screen of a phone, and describe two novel interaction techniques: one where the user performs a quick rotation of the phone to switch the information shown in the VESAD, and another called "slide-and-hang" whereby the user can detach a VESAD and leave it hanging in mid-air, using the phone to establish the initial position and orientation of the virtual window. We also report an experiment that compared three interfaces used for an abstract classification task: the first using only a smartphone, the second using the phone for input but with a VESAD for output, and the third where the user performed input in mid-air on the VESAD (as detected by a Leap Motion). The second user interface was found to be superior in time and selection count (a metric of mistakes committed by users) and was also subjectively preferred over the other two interfaces. This demonstrates the added value of a VESAD for output over a phone's physical screen, and also demonstrates that input on the phone's screen was better than input in mid-air in our experiment.

Concentric circular trajectory sampling for super-resolution and image mosaicing (2015)

Ubiquitous applications in diverse fields motivate large-area sampling, super-resolution (SR) and image mosaicing. However, conventional translational sampling has drawbacks including laterally constrained variations between samples. Meanwhile, existing rotational sampling methods do not consider the uniformity of sampling points in Cartesian coordinates, resulting in additional distortion errors in sampled images. We design a novel optimized concentric circular trajectory sampling (OCCTS) method to acquire image information uniformly at fast sampling speeds. The sampling method allows multiple low-resolution images for conventional SR algorithms to be acquired by adding small variations in the angular dimension. Experimental results demonstrate that OCCTS can beat comparable CCTS methods that lack optimized sampling densities by reducing sampling time by more than 11.5% while maintaining 50% distortion error reduction. The SR quality of OCCTS has at least 5.2% fewer distortion errors than the comparable CCTS methods. This paper is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to present an OCCTS method for SR and image mosaicing.
[Oblique muscle dysfunction and cyclotropia]. (1990)

The disc-fovea angle was calculated from the fundus photo by measuring the distance of fovea to the geometric center of the disc and the distance of fovea to the horizontal meridian through the disc center. The authors found the average disc-fovea angle of 40 normal individuals to be extorsion 7.43 degrees; and the diagnosis of cyclotropia was made for patients with extorsion over 14.20 degrees or intorsion, and those in whom the disc-fovea angle difference between both eyes was 8 degrees or over. In 9 cases of AV syndrome, 86% (12/14) of the V pattern cases associated with inferior oblique overaction were excyclotropic, and 75% (3/4) of the A pattern cases were incyclotropic. In 5 cases of superior oblique paresis, 86% (6/7) of the diseased eyes were excyclotropic, whether the function of the antagonistic was normal. The authors concluded that fundus photos could serve as a basis for diagnosis of cyclotropia.

Rapid, Radiolabeled-Microculture Method That Uses Macrophages for In Vitro Evaluation of <i>Mycobacterium leprae</i> Viability and Drug Susceptibility (1983)

This paper describes a microculture rapid assay using radiolabeling and mouse macrophages to determine the viability and the drug susceptibility or resistance of Mycobacterium leprae. Comparison of M. leprae resident macrophage cultures maintained in 96-well flat-bottomed plates showed results for viability and susceptibility or resistance to dapsone that were similar to results for concurrent cultures in Leighton tubes with greater numbers of bacilli and macrophages.
Hybrid Optical Switching for Data Center Networks (2014)

Current data centers networks rely on electronic switching and point-to-point interconnects. When considering future data center requirements, these solutions will raise issues in terms of flexibility, scalability, performance, and energy consumption. For this reason several optical switched interconnects, which make use of optical switches and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), have been recently proposed. However, the solutions proposed so far suffer from low flexibility and are not able to provide service differentiation. In this paper we introduce a novel data center network based on hybrid optical switching (HOS). HOS combines optical circuit, burst, and packet switching on the same network. In this way different data center applications can be mapped to the optical transport mechanism that best suits their traffic characteristics. Furthermore, the proposed HOS network achieves high transmission efficiency and reduced energy consumption by using two parallel optical switches. We consider the architectures of both a traditional data center network and the proposed HOS network and present a combined analytical and simulation approach for their performance and energy consumption evaluation. We demonstrate that the proposed HOS data center network achieves high performance and flexibility while considerably reducing the energy consumption of current solutions.
An Efficient and General Method for the Stereodivergent Syntheses of Tadalafil‐Like Tetracyclic Compounds (2010)

Abstract A clean and general DBU‐catalyzed epimerization at C‐12a position of the tadalafil‐like tetracyclic compounds has been fully studied. In addition, by using this clean epimerization as the key step, four stereomers of 6‐ d 1 ‐tadalafil were stereodivergently synthesized from both L ‐ and D ‐tryptophan methyl ester hydrochlorides and deuterated piperonal.
