A Study of Design Issues on Electrically Peaking Hybrid Electric Vehicle for Diverse Urban Driving Patterns (1999)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">A vehicle's performance depends greatly on the operating conditions, such as journey type, driving behavior etc. Driving patterns vary with geographical location and traffic conditions. In today's global economy where automobile industries are concerned with both local and international markets, it becomes necessary to investigate vehicle performance for driving cycles of different countries and develop vehicle designs which are appropriate to the consumer's market. This paper concentrates on the issues related to designing hybrid electric vehicles. A method of optimizing the size of the principal hardware components of hybrid vehicles such as, electric motors, internal combustion engines, transmissions and energy storage devices based on the demands of different drive cycles is discussed in the paper. Driving cycles of five major countries around the globe were used for investigation: the ECE 15 used by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE), the Japanese 10-15 mode, China's Beijing-11, Australian urban drive cycle and finally, the United States EPA75. The ‘V-ELPH 2.01’ EV-HEV computer simulation package developed at Texas A&amp;M University was used for simulation testing.</div>

MexT Regulates the Type III Secretion System through MexS and PtrC in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (2010)

The type III secretion system (T3SS) is the most important virulence factor in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and its expression level varies in different isolates. We studied the molecular basis for such differences in two laboratory strains, PAK and PAO1. A chromosomal clone library from the high-T3SS-producer strain PAK was introduced into the low-producer strain PAO1, and we found that a mexS gene from PAK confers high T3SS expression in the PAO1 background. Further tests demonstrated that both mexS and its neighboring mexT gene are required for the repression of the T3SS in PAO1, while the PAK genome encodes a defective MexS, accounting for the derepression of the T3SS in PAK and the dominant negative effect when it is introduced into PAO1. MexS is a probable oxidoreductase whose expression is dependent on MexT, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator. Various genetic data support the idea that MexS modulates the transcriptional regulator function of MexT. In searching for the MexT-dependent repressor of the T3SS, a small gene product of PA2486 (ptrC) was found effective in suppressing the T3SS upon overexpression. However, deletion of ptrC in the PAO1 background did not result in derepression of the T3SS, indicating the presence of another repressor for the T3SS. Interestingly, overexpression of functional mexS alone was sufficient to repress T3SS even in the absence of MexT, suggesting that MexS is another mediator of MexT-dependent T3SS repression. Overexpression of mexS alone had no effect on the well-known MexT-dependent genes, including those encoding MexEF efflux pump, elastase, and pyocyanin, indicating alternative regulatory mechanisms. A model has been proposed for the MexS/MexT-mediated regulation of the T3SS, the MexEF efflux pump, and the production of elastase and pyocyanin.
La identificación de los funcionarios policiales en la entrada y registro: la validez del carné profesional (2013)

La Instruccion 13/2007, de la Secretaria de Estado de Seguridad reconoce el derecho de los ciudadanos a identificar a las Autoridades y al personal al servicio de la Administraciones Publicas bajo cuya responsabilidad se tramitan sus expedientes. Los componentes de los Cuerpos y Fuerzas de Seguridad del Estado se identificaran como tales con su Carnet o Tarjeta de Identidad Profesionales y, en su caso, con la placa insignia. El problema surge cuando la Policia Judicial actua como delegada del Juez en la practica de los registros, pues el Secretario Judicial que levantara el acta de la entrada y registro, podra identificar a los funcionarios con su nombre y apellidos. Esta situacion ha creado una grave tension en la practica de estos registros y el presente trabajo asi lo demuestra, aportando datos acerca de la forma en la que dicha diligencia de investigacion debe de ser practicada.
CNT sensor arrays with P-I-N diodes (2013)

A novel active matrix array approach suitable for a compact multi-channel gas sensor platform is presented. Each sensor site utilizes carbon nanotubes (CNT) on top of a pair of interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) as the gas sensing element. The proposed active matrix sensor array utilizes an array of P-I-N diodes each connected in series with an IDE. The use of P-I-N diodes enables row and column addressing of each sensor thus significantly reducing the required wiring compared to individually addressed sensors. In this work, P-I-N diodes were implemented using either silicon-on insulator (SOI) or Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) thin film technology thus validating that both wafer and glass based approaches can be used for the mass manufacture of proposed multi-channel sensor platforms. The functionality of 8×8 and 16×16 sensor arrays is proven with the help of a PEDOT:PSS cover. Data are also presented for the 8×8 arrays and the detection of ammonia (NH3) and chlorine (Cl2) vapor sources is demonstrated.
The application of principal component analysis to study TSDC spectra (2004)

The technique of principal component analysis has been applied to spectra obtained by thermally stimulated discharge current measurements on polyimide films. The films had been aged by gamma irradiation followed by long term exposure to elevated temperatures. The relationship between the aging history and the changes observed in the principal component values derived from the spectra are discussed.
A Tip-Tilt-Piston Micromirror Array for Optical Phased Array Applications (2010)

A tip-tilt-piston micromirror array based on electrothermal bimorph actuation is presented. The micromirror uses a compactly folded actuator design that can realize high fill-factor with a simple fabrication process. A 4 × 4 micromirror array with sub-apertures of 0.9 mm and a fill-factor of 54% is demonstrated. A piston actuation of about 200 μm and tip-tilt scanning of ±18° optical angles are obtained at a driving voltage as small as 4.5 Vdc. The mirror's tip-tilt steering capability and piston control make it promising for optical phased array applications. The phased array concept is demonstrated by phasing two adjacent mirrors on the mirror array. Other device characterizations including frequency, transient response, and mirror surface quality are also reported.
Quantum switch teleportation with continuous variables using two-mode squeezed light (2003)

Summary form only given. The scheme for continuous variable switch teleportation was proposed by using a pair of two-mode squeezed state lights on beamsplitter of 50% and polarizing beam splitter. Teleportation ability is examined by the criteria proposed by Ralph and Lam (1998) from a small signal quantum optical point of view. A pair of two-mode squeezed lights, which are coupled by two modes with identical frequency but orthogonal polarization, are mixed on a 50:50 beamsplitter. The outgoing fields are separated into A,B,C,D, by the polarizing beam splitter based on the polarization. It results in entanglement between the mode A and mode B or mode A and mode D in turn depending the input relative phase between two input two-mode squeezed lights or the quadrature components of squeezing. Thus, switching EPR beams with continuous variable are obtained.
Nurse job stress, burnout, practice environment and maternal satisfaction in the neonatal intensive care unit (2009)

The environment of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is stressful for nurses, infants and families. Nurse job stress is related to burnout, workforce absenteeism, retention and turnover. The current national shortage magnifies the need to understand this critical care work environment in order to: retain and recruit nurses, improve job satisfaction, and improve patient outcomes. The study's purpose was to examine the relationships among the factors of nursing practice: professional practice environment, stress, and burnout; and maternal satisfaction in a 60 bed bay-style level III NICU. The conceptual framework was role stress. Role ambiguity and role conflict, forms of role stress, may play a significant role in determining burnout. This descriptive correlational study examined the data of NICU staff nurses 75) and mothers of NICU infants (n=26). Demographics, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-HSS, Expanded Nurse Stress Scale and the Professional Practice Environment Scale were completed by the staff nurses. Mothers completed the Press Galley NICU survey. Four hypotheses were tested in multivariate analyses. The practice environment factors of control over practice, leadership and autonomy in clinical practice and [total] professional practice environment mediated the effect of nurse stress on the burnout dimension of emotional exhaustion so that nurse stress contributes to the practice environment which influences the emotional exhaustion of NICU nurses. Workload and problems with supervisors were the most significant nurse stressors. Other significant nurse stressors included: uncertainty towards treatment, conflict with physicians, problems with peer support, and patients and families. There is also tentative evidence that nurse stress negatively affects NICU mothers' satisfaction. This study provides preliminary evidence that certain qualities of the practice environment, especially control over practice, contribute to and help explain the effect of nurse stress on the burnout dimension of Emotional Exhaustion. Additionally, this is one of the first studies to examine the factors of the nurse practice environment in neonatal intensive care. More study is needed to investigate potential linkages among the NICU practice environment with infant and parent outcomes.

Analysis of growth of multicellular tumour spheroids by mathematical models (1994)

We wished to determine the applicability of previously proposed deterministic mathematical models to description of growth of multicellular tumour spheroids. The models were placed into three general classes: empirical, functional and structural. From these classes, 17 models were applied systematically to growth curves of multicellular tumour spheroids used as paradigms of prevascular and microregional tumour growth. The spheroid growth curves were determined with uniquely high density of measurements and high precision. The theoretical growth curves obtained from the models were fitted by the weighted least-squares method to the 15 measured growth curves, each corresponding to a different cell line. The classical growth models such as von Bertalanffy, logistic and Gompertz were considered as nested within more general models. Our results demonstrate that most models fitted the data fairly well and that criteria other than statistical had to be used for final selection. The Gompertz, the autostimulation and the simple spheroid models were the most appropriate for spheroid growth in the empirical, functional and structural classes of models, respectively. We also showed that some models (e.g. logistic, von Bertalanffy) were clearly inadequate. Thus, contrary to the widely held belief, the sigmoid character of a three or more parameter growth function is not sufficient for adequate fits.
Xenogeneic Transplantation of Porcine Hepatocytes into the CCl<sub>4</sub> Cirrhotic Rat Model (1999)

Liver support using extracorporeal devices and hepatocyte transplantation has received renewed interest for the management of acute and chronic liver failure. The aim of this study was to determine whether xenogeneic porcine hepatocytes could integrate into the liver parenchyma of cirrhotic Lewis rats when administered by an intrasplenic route. Cirrhosis was induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) inhalation and confirmed histologically. Freshly isolated porcine hepatocytes were infused directly into the splenic pulp at laparotomy over a 5-15-min interval. Using (111)In-labeled hepatocytes, the degree of localization of porcine hepatocytes to the spleen and liver was found to be greater than 60% in both control and cirrhotic rats. Integration of porcine hepatocytes into the rat liver parenchyma was determined by immunohistochemical staining for porcine albumin in rat liver sections. Further confirmation was provided by in situ hybridization using a porcine-specific probe that binds to a distinct repetitive element (PRE) in porcine DNA. Evidence of integrated porcine hepatocytes was seen for over 50 days in animals under cyclosporine immunosuppression. These data demonstrate the integration of xenogeneic porcine hepatocytes into the liver of the cirrhotic rat and their ability to produce porcine albumin for up to 50 days.
Three-dimensional Scanning of Objects Using a Mobile Phone : Photogrammetry Silhouette Technique (2017)

The purpose of this study was to find a solution and develop a working mobile phone application that allows user scanning of specific objects with usage of standard phone configuration without involvement of any additional external devices. This thesis demonstrates the implementation of the 3D scanning application including problems found during development and results of the application workflow.\n\nAn appropriate solution was found in the form of silhouette scanning technique. The solution allows reconstructing the model with moderate inaccuracies using a combination of data gathered from multiple embedded sensors and processing of the data.\n\nA semi-successful mobile phone application was built in the project by using an open-course code library OpenCV for the Google Android mobile platform. The application produces a 3D model billet of the scanned object on the basis of taken images and rotation angles, yet an accurate version of the object cannot be recreated and further work is needed before the application will reach a sustainable and competitive state.

Plasma silane concentration as a determining factor for the transition from amorphous to microcrystalline silicon in SiH<sub>4</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>discharges (2006)

In this work, the microstructure transition from amorphous to microcrystalline silicon is defined in terms of the silane concentration in the plasma as opposed to the silane concentration in the input gas flow. In situ Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy combined with ex situ Raman spectroscopy has been used to calibrate and validate this approach. Results show that a relevant parameter to obtain mu c-Si : H from SiH4/H-2 mixtures is the plasma composition, which is determined not only by the gas dilution ratio but also by the silane depletion fraction. It is also shown that mu c-Si : H can only be deposited efficiently, in terms of gas utilization, at a high rate by using high input concentration and depletion of silane.
Spin-polarized photoelectron sources and spin-dependent free-electron injection through ultrathin ferromagnetic layers (2002)

The development of efficient spin-polarized electron sources, the improvement of electron spin polarimeters, and the progress in the fabrication of magnetic nanostructures and hybrid ferromagnet/semiconductor structures open up a wide field of investigation involving spin-dependent electron interactions in magnetic systems. This paper reviews the state of the art concerning spin-polarized electron sources based on semiconductor photocathodes. Their use is illustrated by the example of a new spin-dependent transmission experiment where a low-energy free-electron beam crosses a free-standing ferromagnetic thin film. It is shown that the transmission spin asymmetry reaches high values at very low primary electron energy. Possible applications of these spin-filter structures as compact and performant spin detectors are discussed, as well as perspectives for spin sensitive probes.
Phase Advance Control to Reduce Torque Ripple of Brush-less DC Motor According to Winding Connection, Wye and Delta (2014)

In this research, the characteristics of Brush-less DC (BLDC) motor in accordance with winding connection method, both Y-connection and D -connection, has been identified with design methodology simply. BLDC motor has been designed for both winding connections, and their torque analysis has been performed considering ideal current source analysis and voltage source analysis with 6-step control. In addition, to reduce torque ripple of BLDC motor, caused by coil inductance, on voltage source analysis with 6-step control, we have proposed suitable control method which is Phase Advance Control. It is verified that the torque ripple has been decreased by virtue of phase advance control, advancing and widening conduction angle of switching, via performance analysis by Finite Element Analysis.
Bmi-1 is induced by the Epstein-Barr virus oncogene LMP1 and regulates the expression of viral target genes in Hodgkin lymphoma cells (2006)

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are chromatin modifiers that are necessary for the maintenance and renewal of embryonic and adult stem cells. However, overexpression of the PcG protein, Bmi-1, causes lymphoma in transgenic mice. We show that Bmi-1 is up-regulated in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cells by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) oncogene latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1) and that this up-regulation is mediated by NF-kappaB signaling. We also show that Bmi-1 is up-regulated by NF-kappaB in EBV-negative HL cells. Down-regulation of LMP1 and Bmi-1 decreased the survival of HL cells, suggesting that Bmi-1 may mediate the prosurvival effects of LMP1-induced NF-kappaB signaling in HL cells. Transcriptional targets of Bmi-1 were identified after its knockdown in an HL cell line. We show here that Bmi-1 and LMP1 down-regulate the ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) tumor suppressor and conclude that Bmi-1 contributes to LMP1-induced oncogenesis in HL.
Diagnostics and prognostics for aircraft structures using a wireless corrosion monitoring network (2011)

Corrosion of aircraft and rotorcraft is one of the primary maintenance cost drivers for the US Military, costing billions of dollars annually, and is by far the largest single maintenance cost for Navy and Marine Corps airframes. Various forms of localized corrosion, such as pitting corrosion, crevice corrosion, exfoliation, and environment assisted cracking, are particularly destructive and can lead to significant structural integrity problems for aircraft. Widespread current practice employs costly schedule based inspection and maintenance to retain acceptable risk levels. To enable condition based maintenance techniques, Luna is developing a diagnostic and prognostic system based on an intelligent wireless corrosion monitoring network.
Modeling and deformation of arms and legs based on ellipsoidal sweeping (2004)

We present a new approach to the modeling and deformation of a human or virtual character's arm and legs. Each limb is represented as a set of ellipsoids of varying size interpolated along a skeleton curve. A base surface is generated by approximating these ellipsoids with a swept ellipse, and the difference between that and the detailed shape of the arm or leg is represented as a displacement map. We demonstrate that the natural bending of arms and legs can be emulated using this approach, and show its effectiveness by articulating the limbs of a scanned human body and those of a virtual character.

Adoptive Cell Therapies for Glioblastoma (2013)

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive primary brain malignancy and, as it stands, is virtually incurable. With the current standard of care, maximum feasible surgical resection followed by radical radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide, survival rates are at a median of 14.6 months from diagnosis in molecularly unselected patients (1). Collectively, the current knowledge suggests that the continued tumor growth and survival is in part due to failure to mount an effective immune response. While this tolerance is subtended by the tumor being utterly "self," it is to a great extent due to local and systemic immune compromise mediated by the tumor. Different cell modalities including lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and transgenic chimeric antigen receptor or αβ T cell receptor grafted T cells are being explored to recover and or redirect the specificity of the cellular arm of the immune system toward the tumor complex. Promising phase I/II trials of such modalities have shown early indications of potential efficacy while maintaining a favorable toxicity profile. Efficacy will need to be formally tested in phase II/III clinical trials. Given the high morbidity and mortality of GBM, it is imperative to further investigate and possibly integrate such novel cell-based therapies into the current standards-of-care and herein we collectively assess and critique the state-of-the-knowledge pertaining to these efforts.
