A 5.2 mW Self-Configured Wearable Body Sensor Network Controller and a 12 $\mu$W Wirelessly Powered Sensor for a Continuous Health Monitoring System (2010)

A self-configured body sensor network controller and a high efficiency wirelessly powered sensor are presented for a wearable, continuous health monitoring system. The sensor chip harvests its power from the surrounding health monitoring band using an Adaptive Threshold Rectifier (ATR) with 54.9% efficiency, and it consumes 12 μW to implement an electrocardiogram (ECG) analog front-end and an ADC. The ATR is implemented with a standard CMOS process for low cost. The adhesive bandage type sensor patch is composed of the sensor chip, a Planar-Fashionable Circuit Board (P-FCB) inductor, and a pair of dry P-FCB electrodes. The dry P-FCB electrodes enable long term monitoring without skin irritation. The network controller automatically locates the sensor position, configures the sensor type (self-configuration), wirelessly provides power to the configured sensors, and transacts data with only the selected sensors while dissipating 5.2 mW at a single 1.8 V supply. Both the sensor and the health monitoring band are implemented using P-FCB for enhanced wearability and for lower production cost. The sensor chip and the network controller chip occupy 4.8 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and 15.0 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , respectively, including pads, in standard 0.18 μm 1P6M CMOS technology.
Protection against hydrogen peroxide cytotoxicity in Rat-1 fibroblasts provided by the oncoprotein Bcl-2: maintenance of calcium homoeostasis is secondary to the effect of Bcl-2 on cellular glutathione (1999)

The oncoprotein Bcl-2 protects cells against apoptosis, but the exact molecular mechanism that underlies this function has not yet been identified. Studying H # O # -induced cell injury in Rat-1 fibroblast cells, we observed that Bcl-2 had a protective effect against the increase in cytosolic calcium concentration and subsequent cell death. Furthermore, overexpression of Bcl-2 resulted in an alteration of cellular glutathione status : the total amount of cellular glutathione was increased by about 60 % and the redox potential of the cellular glutathione pool was maintained in a more reduced state during H # O # exposure compared with non-Bcl-2-expressing controls. In our cytotoxicity model, disruption of cellular glutathione homoeostasis closely correlated with the pathological elevation of cytosolic calcium concen-
Platoon Control of Connected Vehicles from a Networked Control Perspective: Literature Review, Component Modeling, and Controller Synthesis (2017)

The platooning of connected and automated vehicles has the potential to significantly benefit the road traffic, including enhancing highway safety, improving traffic capacity, and reducing fuel consumption. This paper presents a four-component analysis framework for platoon systems from a networked control perspective, including a literature review by network awareness, unified models of key components, and two application cases for controller synthesis. The networked control perspective naturally decomposes a platoon into four interrelated components, namely, 1) node dynamics (ND), 2) information flow topology (IFT), 3) formation geometry (FG), and 4) distributed controller (DC). The existing literature is categorized under this framework and analyzed according to the component features. The unified mathematical models are derived for platoons with linear dynamics and distributed controllers. As a case study, a distributed controller synthesis method is introduced for homogeneous platoons, which guarantees the internal stability in the presence of a broad class of topologies with/without uniform time-delays. The effectiveness is demonstrated by numerical simulations.
Ribosome display: next-generation display technologies for production of antibodies<i>in vitro</i> (2005)

Antibodies represent an important and growing class of biologic research reagents and biopharmaceutical products. They can be used as therapeutics in a variety of diseases. With the rapid expansion of proteomic studies and biomarker discovery, there is a need for the generation of highly specific binding reagents to study the vast number of proteins encoded by the genome. Display technologies provide powerful tools for obtaining antibodies. Aside from the preservation of natural antibody repertoires, they are capable of exploiting diversity by DNA recombination to create very large libraries for selection of novel molecules. In contrast to in vivo immunization processes, display technologies allow selection of antibodies under in vitro-defined selection condition(s), resulting in enrichment of antibodies with desired properties from large populations. In addition, in vitro selection enables the isolation of antibodies against difficult antigens including self-antigens, and this can be applied to the generation of human antibodies against human targets. Display technologies can also be combined with DNA mutagenesis for antibody evolution in vitro. Some methods are amenable to automation, permitting high-throughput generation of antibodies. Ribosome display is considered as representative of the next generation of display technologies since it overcomes the limitations of cell-based display methods by using a cell-free system, offering advantages of screening larger libraries and continuously expanding new diversity during selection. Production of display-derived antibodies can be achieved by choosing one of a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell-based expression systems. In the near future, cell-free protein synthesis may be developed as an alternative for large-scale generation of antibodies.

Anomalous Surface Reflection of X Rays (1963)

An asymmetric surface reflection of x rays was found. It was experimentally determined that this anomalously reflected wave has almost the same wavelength as the incident wave. The angle of this reflection changes only slightly with the incident angle and the crystal structure of the sample in the measured angular range. The glancing angle of this reflection increases with the wavelength of the incident x rays. According to measurements on evaporated surfaces of metallic elements, these reflection angles were found to have an important relation to the periodic system of the elements.
Effectiveness of Bacteria and Yeasts from Apple Orchards as Biological Control Agents of Apple Scab (1996)

A total of 931 bacteria and yeasts were isolated from soil and different apple tissues collected in abandoned and commercial orchards. Ninety-two isolates that exhibitedin vitroantibiosis and 268 that did not (total 360) were tested for their ability to suppress scab (caused byVenturia inaequalis) on apple seedlings in the greenhouse. Thirty-two isolates completely inhibited germination of conidia ofV. inaequalis in vitroand 106 significantly reduced the amount of apple scab that formed on apple seedlings when they were applied 24 h before inoculation withV. inaequalis.No correlation existed betweenin vitroantibiosis and ability to suppress scab on seedlings; however, one isolate that was identified as an isolate ofPseudomonas syringae(isolate 508) prevented conidial germination and effectively suppressed scab to a level comparable to the fungicide captan. When compared to pathogenic isolates ofP. syringaethat were isolated from various crops, 508 suppressed scab to a greater extent except in one case.
New Magnetic Microactuator Design Based on PDMS Elastomer and MEMS Technologies for Tactile Display (2010)

Highly efficient tactile display devices must fulfill technical requirements for tactile stimulation, all the while preserving the lightness and compactness needed for handheld operation. This paper focuses on the elaboration of highly integrated magnetic microactuators for tactile display devices. FEM simulation, conception, fabrication, and characterization of these microactuators are presented in this paper. The current demonstrator offers a 4 × 4 flexible microactuator array with a resolution of 2 mm. Each actuator is composed of a Poly (Dimethyl-Siloxane) (PDMS) elastomeric membrane, magnetically actuated by coil-magnet interaction. It represents a proof of concept for fully integrated MEMS tactile devices, with fair actuation forces provided for a power consumption up to 100 mW per microactuator. The prototypes are destined to provide both static and dynamic tactile sensations, with an optimized membrane geometry for actuation frequencies between DC and 350 Hz. On the basis of preliminary experiments, this display device can offer skin stimulations for various tactile stimuli for applications in the fields of Virtual Reality or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Moreover, the elastomeric material used in this device and its global compactness offer great advantages in matter of comfort of use and capabilities of integration in haptic devices.
Genome-wide mapping of polyadenylation sites in fission yeast reveals widespread alternative polyadenylation (2013)

Regulatory elements in the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of eukaryotic mRNAs influence mRNA localization, translation, and stability. 3'-UTR length is determined by the location at which mRNAs are cleaved and polyadenylated. The use of alternative polyadenylation sites is common, and can be regulated in different situations. I present a new method to identify cleavage and polyadenylation sites (CSs) at the genome-wide level. The approach is strand-specific, avoids RNA enzymatic modification steps that can introduce sequence-specific biases, and uses unique molecular identifiers to ensure that all identified CS originates from individual RNA molecules. I applied this method to create the first comprehensive genome-wide map of polyadenylation sites of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, comprising the analysis of 2,021,000 individual mRNAs that defined 8,883 CSs. CSs were identified for 90% of coding genes and 50% of ncRNAs. Alternative polyadenylation was prevalent in both groups, with 41% and 45% of all detected genes, respectively, displaying more than one CS. The specificity of the cleavage reaction was gene-specific, resulting in highly variable levels of heterogeneity in 3'-UTR lengths. Finally, I show that for both coding and non-coding genes, the most common regulatory motif associated with CSs in fission yeast is the canonical human AAUAAA sequence.
Favorable 3D-network Formation of Chitin Nanofibers Dispersed in Water Prepared Using Aqueous Counter Collision (2011)

In this study, chitin nanofibers were at first successfully prepared using aqueous counter collision (= ACC) method. Dispersion states of the chitin nanofibers in water were compared with aqueous dispersion of cellulose nanofibers in dynamic viscoelastic properties. Morphology of the chitin nanofibers was observed by transmission electron microscopy and polarizing light microscopy. As a result, the ACC treatment provided aqueous dispersion of chitin nanofibers having width of 10-20 nm, and repetition of the treatment allowed a homogeneous aqueous dispersion of the similar sized nanofibers, instead of further pulverization, from the intermediately treated mixture containing different scaled chitin fibers co-existed. The homogeneous dispersion containing chitin nanofibers exhibited much higher dynamic storage and loss moduli when compared with an aqueous cellulose nanofiber system. The dynamic storage modulus of the chitin dispersion tended to increase with increase in the amount of such homogeneous nanofibers, differing from the case of nano-size effects found in the cellulose system that was oppositely decreased. This indicated that the chitin nanofibers dispersed in water were likely to engage a more favorable network.
Effects of Repetitive Mechanical Bending Strain on Various Dimensions of Foldable Low Temperature Polysilicon TFTs Fabricated on Polyimide (2016)

This letter investigates the effect of repeated uniaxial mechanical stress on bias-induced degradation behavior in polycrystalline thin-film transistors (TFTs). After 100 000 iterations of channel-width-direction mechanical compression, serious threshold voltage degradation and an abnormal hump are observed. Simulation indicates that the strongest mechanical stress occurs at both sides of the channel edge, between the polycrystalline silicon and gate insulator. Since these stress points produce oxide traps in the gate insulator, the degradation of threshold voltage shift and parasitic current path can be attributed to electron trapping at these intense mechanical stress points. In addition, the degradation becomes serious with diminishing TFT size.
Neuro-dynamic programming based on self-organized patterns (1999)

This paper introduces a real-time learning control mechanism, as a robust and efficient scheme of neuro-dynamic programming. The objective of the learning controller is to optimize a certain performance measure by learning to create appropriate control actions through interacting with the environment. The controller is set out to learn to perform better over time starting with no prior knowledge about the system. The system under consideration does not render a complete system model describing its behaviors. Instead, real-time sampled measurements are available to the designer. The state measurements are first analyzed by similarity and organized by proximity. Control actions are then generated in relevance to the state patterns. A critic network serves the purpose of 'monitoring' the performance of the controller to achieve a given optimality. We provide detailed implementation, and performance evaluations of this learning controller in a cart-pole balancing problem.

Rituximab in relapsing‐remitting multiple sclerosis: A 72‐week, open‐label, phase I trial (2008)

We evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and activity of B-cell depletion with rituximab in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, receiving two courses of rituximab 6 months apart, and followed for a total of 72 weeks. No serious adverse events were noted; events were limited to mild-to-moderate infusion-associated events, which tended to decrease with subsequent infusions. Infections were also mild or moderate, and none led to withdrawal. Fewer new gadolinium-enhancing or T2 lesions were seen starting from week 4 and through week 72. An apparent reduction in relapses was also observed over the 72 weeks compared with the year before therapy.
Highly accurate phonetic segmentation using boundary correction models and system fusion (2014)

Accurate phone-level segmentation of speech remains an important task for many subfields of speech research. We investigate techniques for boosting the accuracy of automatic phonetic segmentation based on HMM acoustic-phonetic models. In prior work [25] we were able to improve on state-of-the-art alignment accuracy by employing special phone boundary HMM models, trained on phonetically segmented training data, in conjunction with a simple boundary-time correction model. Here we present further improved results by using more powerful statistical models for boundary correction that are conditioned on phonetic context and duration features. Furthermore, we find that combining multiple acoustic front-ends gives additional gains in accuracy, and that conditioning the combiner on phonetic context and side information helps. Overall, we reduce segmentation errors on the TIMIT corpus by almost one half, from 93.9% to 96.8% boundary accuracy with a 20-ms tolerance.

Skin conductance; validation of Skicon‐200EX<sup>®</sup> compared to the original model, Skicon‐100<sup>®</sup> (2007)

Background/purpose: Measurement of skin surface and stratum corneum (SC) hydration during experimental trials needs devices with acceptable precision under conditions ranging from decreased, and normal to high hydration. The aim of this study was to validate the recent model of a commonly used device for measurement of skin conductance (Skicon‐200EX ® ) vs. the original model (Skicon‐100 ® ) introduced 20 years ago. Methods: Twenty‐six healthy Danish volunteers (16 women and 10 men, aged between 22 and 67, with a median age of 42 years) were studied using the Skicon‐100 ® and the Skicon‐200EX ® mounted with three different probes. Normal skin of the cheek, forearm, antecubital fossa, palm, lower leg, and popliteal fossa was studied. The sorption–desorption test was performed on the forearm. Result: The two instruments displayed closely correlated conductance levels. However, the Skicon‐200EX ® displayed systematically 1.6‐fold higher values than the Skicon‐100 ® . Different body sites showed different levels depending on anatomical regions. The three probes measured systematically different levels with the original probe measuring lower values. The sorption–desorption test showed high skin conductance values which peaked a few minutes after hydration, in accordance with the original experiments of Tagami. Conclusion: The two Skicon ® instruments evaluated in this study correlated well, however, they displayed different levels depending on instrument main body and probes. Overall, the Skicon‐200EX ® gave 1.6‐fold higher value, and this instrument might be more sensitive than the original device, Skicon‐100 ® . In scientific reports, the type of instrument main body as well as probe shall be clearly specified.

Controlled Synthesis, Characterization, and Crystallization of Ni−P Nanospheres (2005)

The size- and composition-controlled synthesis of Ni-P nanospheres from nickel chloride and sodium hypophosphite has been systematically investigated by changing the conditions, such as the ratio of the starting materials, pH value, and reduction temperature. It was found that when the starting ratio of H2PO2(-)/Ni2+ was changed the size and chemical composition of the nanoparticles changed simultaneously. Within a suitable pH range, the phosphorus content was altered without affecting the particle size. Increasing the reduction temperature resulted in smaller Ni-P nanospheres but invariable phosphorus content. The Ni-P nanospheres were amorphous when the phosphorus content was higher than 10.0 mol %, while lower phosphorus content led to a composite of amorphous Ni-P and face-centered cubic (fcc) Ni. During postsynthesis calcinations, amorphous Ni-P nanospheres with a low phosphorus content directly crystallized to Ni3P and fcc Ni. However, the specimens with high phosphorus content crystallized via some intermediate phases such as Ni5P2 and Ni12P5. In the latter, an amorphous P-rich shell was developed simultaneously. A preliminary catalytic test of growth of carbon nanofibers on the Ni-P nanospheres has been carried out.
New Access to 2,3-Disubstituted Quinolines through Cyclization of <i>o</i>-Alkynylisocyanobenzenes (1999)

o-Alkynylisocyanobenzenes underwent nucleophile-induced intramolecular cyclization to give 2,3-disubstituted quinoline derivatives in high yields. In addition to the oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles such as methanol and diethylamine, the nucleophilic carbon of the enolate of malonate induced the cyclization effectively. Reaction of 1,4-di(trimethylsilylethynyl)-2,3-diisocyanobenzene with methanol afforded 2,9-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline in good yield.
