Dislocations in thermally stressed silicon wafers (1973)

To the author's knowledge, this is the first letter on the dislocation structures generated in silicon wafers by thermal stresses. These dislocations were caused by cooling in a room-temperature ambient on removal from a furnace. The 〈110〉 60° type was dominant, although 〈112〉 dislocations were also observed. Their most important feature is that they tend to seek the shortest allowable paths in passing through the wafer thicknesswise. They often form fairly regular arrays in single or closely neighboring {111} planes, thus producing ensembles of etch pits (or mounds) that macroscopically resemble slip lines. The dislocation densities were often ∼104 cm−2; these values agreed within an order of magnitude with those predicted by a simple stress relief mechanism.
Direct Thyroid Hormone Activation of Mitochondria: The Role of Adenine Nucleotide Translocase* (1986)

A presumptive mitochondrial T3 receptor previously reported from this and other laboratories appears capable of accounting for the activation of liver mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation within 30 min after iv bolus injection of nanogram doses of T3 into hypothyroid rats. The inner mitochondrial membrane carrier adenine nucleotide translocase (AdNT) catalyzes the exchange between the extra- and intramitochondrial ADP and ATP, and has been shown by measurements of flux control coefficients to exert a significant measure of control over the rate of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The activity of this carrier had been reported to be depressed below normal in hypothyroid rats and restored to normal by hormone replacement. Preparations of AdNT from beef heart mitochondria were found to exhibit high affinity, low capacity binding of [125I]T3. The findings make the mitochondrial carrier AdNT a strong candidate for the initiating site for thyroid hormone stimulation in mammalian species.
Principal component based k-nearest-neighbor rule for semiconductor process fault detection (2008)

Fault detection and classification (FDC) has been recognized in the semiconductor industry as an integral component of advanced process control (APC) framework in improving overall equipment efficiency (OEE). To explicitly account for the unique characteristics of the semiconductor processes, such as nonlinearity in most batch processes, multimodal batch trajectories due to product mix, the fault detection method based on the k-nearest-neighbor rule (FD-kNN) has been developed previously for fault detection in semiconductor manufacturing. However, because FD-kNN does not generate a classifier offline, it is computational and storage intensive, which could make it difficult for online process monitoring. To take the advantages of principal component analysis (PCA) in dimensionality reduction and FD-kNN in nonlinearity and multimode handling, a principal component based kNN (PC- kNN) is proposed. Two simulated examples and an industrial example are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed PC-kNN method in fault detection.
여행항공부문논문 : 항공사 이용고객의 지상 서비스 품질, 만족, 재이용 의도의 관계 연구 (2005)

These are the most challenging times for air transportation industry in 21st century. Airlines live in competitive world. Consumers are demanding a variety of information about their demand because of severe competition, good quality service standard, E-ticketing, ground cargo service, and so on. Therefore, customer may choose one of many airline companies. Travelers benchmark airlines on many factors. Most passengers base their decision on the balance of ground service and quality. From this view point, this paper focuses on customer`s satisfaction about measurement for ground service efficiency, and tries to identify the results for intention of reusing. I would like to suggest possible solutions for the successful airline strategy of service quality and top-management`s strategic needs from the A to Z for improvement.
Interference-limited resource allocation for cognitive radio in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing networks (2008)

Efficient and fair resource allocation strategies are being extensively studied in current research in order to address the requirements of future wireless applications. A novel resource allocation scheme is developed for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) networks designed to maximise performance while limiting the received interference at each user. This received interference is in essence used as a fairness metric; moreover, by defining different interference tolerances for different sets of users, the proposed allocation scheme can be exploited in various cognitive radio scenarios. As applied to the scheme, the authors investigate a scenario where two cellular OFDM-based networks operate as primary and secondary systems in the same band, and the secondary system benefits by accessing the unused resources of the primary system if additional capacity is required. The primary system benefits either by charging the secondary system for the use of its resources or by some form of reciprocal arrangement allowing it to use the secondary system's licenced bands in a similar manner, when needed. Numerical results show our interference-limited scheduling approach to achieve excellent levels of efficiency and fairness by allocating resources more intelligently than proportional fair scheduling. A further important contribution is the application of sequential quadratic programming to solve the non-convex optimisation problems which arise in such scenarios.

Measuring technetium-99m-MAG3 clearance with an improved camera-based method. (1995)

The optimization features described in this method should improve precision when sequential studies are conducted in the same patient.
Anatomical Correction of Vaginal Vault Prolapse by Uterosacral Ligament Fixation in Women Who Also Require a Pubovaginal Sling (2003)

Suspension of the vaginal cuff to the proximal uterosacral ligaments with site specific repair of other associated endopelvic fascial defects provides excellent anatomical and functional correction of vault prolapse. Furthermore, a concomitant pubovaginal sling is a compatible repair for associated stress urinary incontinence. It did not compromise vaginal repair and prolapse repair did not jeopardize the outcome of the sling.
Exercise on prescription schemes for stroke patients post-discharge from physiotherapy (2008)

The study indicates that, in the light of limited health resources, EoP schemes have potential benefit for people post-discharge from physiotherapy. However, safety needs and the concerns of stroke survivors must be considered in EoP scheme development and management if they are to successfully help more people post-stroke maintain healthy levels of activity and fitness.

We are a not-for-profit publisher and we support and invest in the microbiology community, to the benefit of everyone. This supports our principal goal to develop, expand and strengthen the networks available to our members so that they can generate new knowledge about microbes and ensure that it is shared with other communities.
Adaptive integrated manufacturing enterprises: information technology for the next decade (1994)

A new vision effecting adaptiveness in integrated manufacturing enterprises for the next decade is formulated. This vision has been developed on the basis of intensive research over the past nine years in Rensselaer's industry-sponsored Computer Integrated Manufacturing Program. Built from existing results in both the scientific community and industry, the proposed research agenda calls for new fundamental information technology to enable Adaptive Integrated Manufacturing Enterprises (AIME). It focuses on four major problems: (1) management of multiple systems that operate concurrently over a widely distributed network without a central controller; (2) achievement of an open systems architecture that can accommodate legacy systems as well as add new systems; (3) exploitation of object-oriented technology in production systems with the crucial ability to manage heterogeneous views and propagate changes between views; and (4) modeling of enterprise information requirements for inspection and the utilization of inspection information to create a feedback loop from production to design. These problems and approaches to their solution developed are analyzed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
MMF bandwidth enhancement by longitudinal displacement launch (2004)

Experimental study shows that axial displacement of a single mode fiber (SMF) with respect to a multimode fiber (MMF) results in nearly complete recovery of the multimode fiber bandwidth. A separation of a SMF of 125 /spl mu/m from a MMF results in a significant reduction in the power coupled to MMF's low, on-axis modes.
Efficient low delay filter banks (2002)

The paper treats the problem of designing efficient FIR analysis-synthesis filter banks with system delays that can be pre-specified. A framework is introduced that is comprised of the cascade of several distinctive matrices with invertibility properties. The explicit form of the matrices guarantees computational efficiency and exact reconstruction, and allows for control over the system delay.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Tidal corrections to gravity measurements (2007)

Methods taking into account the effect of tidal forces on gravity measurements are considered. Corrections for the effect of tidal forces can exceed 250 μGal. Only the structure of the Earth and positions of tide-generating celestial bodies are necessary for taking into account earth tides, while cotidal charts are additionally required for the correct incorporation of the effect of ocean tides. The effect can reach a few tens of μGal near shorelines. The modern accuracy of gravity measurements being 1–2 μGal, the ocean tide effect, together with other less significant factors, should be considered for the correct interpretation of gravity data.
Multilevel planarized-trench-aluminum (PTA) interconnection using reflow sputtering and chemical mechanical polishing (2002)

A multilevel planarized-trench-aluminum (PTA) interconnection is developed using reflow sputtering and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). This new PTA interconnection technology has the advantages both for a simple process using only Al reflow sputtering for simultaneous via and trench filling and subsequent CMP, and for high reliability in the interconnection due to the use of reflow sputtering. A double-level PTA interconnection demonstrates 4 times lower via resistance and 9 times longer electromigration lifetimes in both wiring and vias than conventional interconnections.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Periodic operation of a continuous culture of Baker's yeast (1989)

The possibility of enhancing the biomass productivity of a continuous culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing on a glucose-limited medium is addressed. An unstructured Monod-type model is first identified using steady-state data. The culture is subjected to step changes in dilution rate, and it is seen that the Monod model is unable to predict even qualitatively the dynamic response of the culture. Incorporation of a time delay allows significant improvement in the transient fit. It is found that the culture has a time lag of about 3 h in adapting its growth rate. Cycling the dilution rate with a period of 3 h leads to substantial improvement in the average biomass productivity.
Adaptive extremum control using approximate process models (1989)

Abstract The proposed on‐line adaptive optimization technique incorporates a priori knowledge in the form of approximate steady‐state models. The steady‐state geometric characteristics of the model are periodically recalculated using a Hammerstein system and recursive least squares. The algorithm is self‐tuning in the sense that it converges to the optimal performance provided that a matching condition is satisfied and that the data are persistently exited. Simulation and experimental studies performed on a continuous fermentation system have been conducted to illustrate the performance of the optimization algorithm and demonstrate the viability of adaptive extremum control.
Silicalite Membrane for Separation of Acetic Acid / Water Mixture (1995)

Abstract The polycrystalline silicalite membrane was prepared on a porous sintered stainless steel support and its pervaporation performance was investigated using an acetic acid / water mixture as a feed. The silicalite membrane selectively permeates acetic acid in the concentration of the feed acetic acid in the region of 5 to 40 vol%.
Expression of cytoplasmic galectin-3 as a prognostic marker in tongue carcinoma. (2000)

Galectin-3 is a member of the beta-galactoside-binding mammalian lectin family with affinity to ABH group epitopes, cell surface and extracellular polylactosamine glycans. It has been shown to be involved in differentiation, morphogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis. Here we questioned the possible involvement of galectin-3 in the neoplastic progression of the tongue epithelium and evaluated its prognostic value in tongue cancer patients. Galectin-3 expression was analyzed by the immunohistochemical method in 77 tongue specimens (54 squamous cell carcinomas and 23 specimens of distinct normal mucosa). Levels of nuclear expression of galectin-3 markedly decreased during the progression from normal to cancerous states (P < 0.0001), while cytoplasmic expression increased (P < 0.0001). Enhanced expression of galectin-3 in the cytoplasm was associated with a reduced disease-free survival of tongue cancer patients. Multivariate analysis identified enhanced expression of cytoplasmic galectin-3 as an independent predictor of disease recurrence (P = 0.0120). These results suggest that the observed translocation of galectin-3 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during neoplastic progression may serve as a prognostic factor for tongue cancer patients.
State description for the root-signal set of median filters (1982)

Median filtering is a simple digital technique for smoothing signals. One main characteristic of the filter is that it maps the input signal space into a root signal space, where signals invariant to median filters are called roots of the signal. In this paper, we develop the theory for the root signal set of median filters. A tree structure for the root signal set is obtained for binary signals. The number of roots R (n) for a signal of length "n" and window size filter "2s- 1" is exactly represented by the difference equation R(n) = R(n - 1) + R(n - s). A general solution is obtained in a Z domain approach. Finally, a method for faster one dimensional median filter operation is introduced.
Lipopolysaccharide Neutralizing Peptide–Porphyrin Conjugates for Effective Photoinactivation and Intracellular Imaging of Gram-Negative Bacteria Strains (2012)

A simple and specific strategy based on the bioconjugation of a photosensitizer protophophyrin IX (PpIX) with a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding antimicrobial peptide YI13WF (YVLWKRKRKFCFI-Amide) has been developed for the effective fluorescent imaging and photodynamic inactivation of Gram-negative bacterial strains. The intracellular fluorescent imaging and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) studies supported our hypothesis that the PpIX-YI13WF conjugates could serve as efficient probes to image the bacterial strains and meanwhile indicated the potent activities against Gram-negative bacterial pathogens especially for those with antibiotics resistance when exposed to the white light irradiation. Compared to the monomeric PpIX-YI13WF conjugate, the dimeric conjugate indicated the stronger fluorescent imaging signals and higher photoinactivation toward the Gram-negative bacterial pathogens throughout the whole concentration range. In addition, the photodynamic bacterial inactivation also demonstrated more potent activity than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of dimeric PpIX-YI13WF conjugate itself observed for E. coli DH5a (~4 times), S. enterica (~8 times), and other Gram-negative strains including antibiotic-resistant E. coli BL21 (~8 times) and K. pneumoniae (~16 times). Moreover, both fluorescent imaging and photoinactivation measurements also demonstrated that the dimeric PpIX-YI13WF conjugate could selectively recognize bacterial strains over mammalian cells and generate less photo damage to mammalian cells. We believed that the enhanced fluorescence and bacterial inactivation were probably attributed to the higher binding affinity between dimeric photosensitizer peptide conjugate and LPS components on the surface of bacterial strains, which were the results of efficient multivalent interactions.
Computer generated holographic optical elements for optical interconnection of very large scale integrated circuits (1987)

The use of computer generated holographic elements for implementation of free-space optical interconnection of very large scale integrated circuits is presented. The design of the holographic optical elements is based on laser source divergence, source to hologram spacing, signal fanout, and resolution of the hologram recorder. The results of a computer simulation of diffraction from the hologram are compared with the analytically predicted results, particularly to confirm the effect of spatial sampling on the performance of an on-axis interferogram hologram. Measurements taken using transmission absorption and transmission phase holograms in photographic emulsion, as well as reflective surface relief holograms on silicon, are compared to predicted results. Performance benefits expected from extension of the design process to holograms fabricated using electron-beam lithography are discussed.
Understanding the role of the gas in the voids during corona charging of cellular electret films - a way to enhance their piezoelectricity (2001)

The influence of the corona-charging process on the piezoelectric transducer coefficient d33 of a cellular electret film has been investigated. An increased corona voltage can be considered as a way to enhance the charge density and thus also the resulting piezoelectric effect. Higher corona-charging voltages are possible with increased ambient pressure or in suitable dielectric gases. The effect of the gas inside the voids has also been studied. Enhanced transducer coefficients were obtained by corona charging in N2 or N2O gas atmospheres at 100-450 or 100-140 kPa pressures, respectively. The highest transducer coefficients of about 790 pCN-1 were obtained when N2 gas was filled into the voids of a cellular polymer film by means of consecutive vacuum and high-pressure treatments at 295 or 313 K.
Analog–Digital Beamforming in the MU-MISO Downlink by Use of Tunable Antenna Loads (2017)

We investigate the performance of multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MU-MISO) downlink in the presence of the mutual coupling effect at the transmitter. Contrary to traditional approaches that aim at eliminating this effect, in this paper we propose a joint analog-digital (AD) beamforming scheme that exploits this effect to further improve the system performance. A jointly optimal AD beamformer is first obtained by iteratively maximizing the minimum received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio in the digital domain, followed by an optimization on the load impedance of each antenna element in the analog domain. We further introduce a decoupled low-complexity approach, with which existing closed-form beamforming schemes can also be efficiently applied. For the consideration of hardware imperfections in practice, we study the case where the analog load values are quantized, and propose a sequential search scheme based on greedy algorithm to efficiently obtain the desired quantized load values. Moreover, we also investigate the imperfect channel state information (CSI) scenarios, where we prove the optimality for closed-form beamformers, and further propose the robust schemes for two typical CSI error models. Simulation results show that with the proposed schemes the mutual coupling effect can be exploited to further improve the performance for both perfect CSI and imperfect CSI.
Olefins, Higher (2000)

Abstract This article discusses physical and chemical properties, production methods, uses, and safe handling of the even‐carbon‐number linear α‐olefins. Other higher olefins (branched and/or internal) are discussed briefly. The principal classes of chemical reactions for olefins are addition reactions (electrophilic and free‐radical) and substitution reactions. Common classes of transformations in industrial processes include oxo reaction (hydroformylation), oligomerization and polymerization, alkylation reaction, hydrobromination, sulfation and sulfonation, and oxidation. A low flash point is the main hazard associated with olefins. Flammability limits, autoignition temperatures, and flash points are listed. Olefins should be stored and shipped under an inert atmosphere as many applications are adversely impacted by low levels of moisture, peroxides, and oxygenates. Most linear α‐olefins were produced from ethylene in 1993 with a total annual capacity of 2,136,000 metric tons. Ethylene oligomerization is discussed for the following commercial processes: ( 1 ) stoichiometric chain growth on aluminum alkyls followed by displacement (Albemarle); ( 2 ) catalytic chain growth on aluminum alkyls (Chevron‐Gulf); ( 3 ) catalytic chain growth using a nickel‐ligand catalyst (Shell); and ( 4 ) catalytic chain growth using a modified zirconium catalyst (Idemitsu). Significant outlets for higher olefins are in the polymer, surfactant, and detergent industries. The C 4 , C 6 , and C 8 linear α‐olefins impart tear resistance and other desirable properties to linear low and high density polyethylene. The C 6 , C 8 , and C 10 linear α‐olefins give special properties to plasticizers used in flexible poly(vinyl chloride). The C 10 (and other carbon‐number) linear α‐olefins provide premium value synthetic lubricants.
