A study of signal integrity issues in through-silicon-via-based 3D ICs (2010)

In this paper, we study the signal integrity issues of through-silicon-via (TSV)-based 3D IC layouts. Unlike the most existing work, our study reports the coupling noise among all nets and all TSVs used in a real processor design implemented in 3D. Our RTL-to-GDSII design flow consists of commercial tools, enhanced with various add-ons to handle TSV and 3D stacking. Using this tool flow, we generate GDSII-level layouts of 3D implementation and perform sign-off-level signal integrity analysis. Based on our 2D vs 3D GDSII comparisons, we found that the overall noise-level of 3D is worse than 2D, but 3D designs have the advantage of significantly reducing the total number of the nosiest nets.
Melt‐polymerizable bisimido‐bisphthalonitriles containing silicon, fluoro, and ether groups: Synthesis, characterization, and NMR study (1992)

Abstract Various melt‐polymerizable bisimido‐bisphthalonitrile polymer precursors were synthesized by the reaction of 4‐aminophthalonitrile (4‐APN) with bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl) dimethylsilane dianhydride (SIDA), 4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidene diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), bis(3,4‐dicarboxyphenyl)ether dianhydride (ODPA), and 3,3′, 4,4′‐tetracarboxylichenzophen+ne dianhydride (BTDA) in an aprotic solvent. The synthesized monomers showed crystalline melting at 269 and 271°C. Elemental analysis, differential thermal analysis (DTA), infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H‐NMR) and mass spectral studies were carried out to characterize the synthesized monomers. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the synthesized monomers showed their thermal stability at 410–400°C. A detailed study and NMR investigation of the first step of condensation reaction was carried out and indicated the formation of a transient charge transfer complex. Thermal cyclization of the formed intermediate, however, gave the required monomers. A preliminary study demonstrated that melt‐polymerization of the synthesized monomers gave thermallystable, tough polymers.

Novel complex formed between a nonproteolytic cell wall protein of group A streptococci and alpha 2-macroglobulin (1987)

Binding of 125I-labeled alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) to streptococci belonging to serological groups A, B, C, and G was studied. Streptococci of groups A and G interacted only with native alpha 2M, and those of group C reacted only with alpha 2M-trypsin complex. Binding of alpha 2M to group A streptococci was saturable and reversible. The dissociation constant was 2.02 X 10(-7) M, and the number of binding sites was calculated to be 18,000 per streptococcus. The alpha 2M-binding protein could be solubilized by treatment of group A streptococci with a murolytic enzyme and subsequently purified by affinity chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography. The purified protein was homogeneous on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and had a molecular weight of 78,000. It possessed no proteolytic activity and interacted with native alpha 2M in Western blots (immunoblots). Interaction of purified binding protein with alpha 2M led to a change in the conformation of alpha 2M similar to that obtained by alpha 2M-protease complexes. Reversible binding of a nonproteolytic streptococcal component of alpha 2M is thus a novel feature of alpha 2M reactivity.
Gesture-based robot control with variable autonomy from the JPL BioSleeve (2013)

This paper presents a new gesture-based human interface for natural robot control. Detailed activity of the user's hand and arm is acquired via a novel device, called the BioSleeve, which packages dry-contact surface electromyography (EMG) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) into a sleeve worn on the forearm. The BioSleeve's accompanying algorithms can reliably decode as many as sixteen discrete hand gestures and estimate the continuous orientation of the forearm. These gestures and positions are mapped to robot commands that, to varying degrees, integrate with the robot's perception of its environment and its ability to complete tasks autonomously. This flexible approach enables, for example, supervisory point-to-goal commands, virtual joystick for guarded teleoperation, and high degree of freedom mimicked manipulation, all from a single device. The BioSleeve is meant for portable field use; unlike other gesture recognition systems, use of the BioSleeve for robot control is invariant to lighting conditions, occlusions, and the human-robot spatial relationship and does not encumber the user's hands. The BioSleeve control approach has been implemented on three robot types, and we present proof-of-principle demonstrations with mobile ground robots, manipulation robots, and prosthetic hands.

The ethics of being a female patient and a female care provider in a male‐dominated health‐illness system (1980)

The ethical issues involved in being a woman, either patient or provider, in our current health‐illness care system include violations of the principles of equality, justice, and fairness; allocation of scarce resources; autonomy and informed consent; beneficence and nonmaleficence. Patient and provider need to change. Ethics for women written by women may contribute to a more ethical approach to the treatment of women in general and female patients and health care providers in particular.

Geographic distribution and regional origin of 272 cystic fibrosis mutations in European populations (1997)

The geographic distribution of 272 cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations has been studied by assessing the origin of 27,177 CF chromosomes from 29 European countries and three countries from the North of Africa. The most common mutations are delta F308 (66.8%), G542X (2.6%), N1303K (1.6%), G551D (1.5%) and W1282X (1.0%). The delta F508 mutation has the highest frequency in Denmark (87.2%) and the lowest in Algeria (26.3%). Mutation G542X is common in the Mediterranean countries, with a mean frequency of 6.1%. N1303K is found in most of the western and Mediterranean countries and has the highest frequency in Tunisia (17.2%). The wide distribution of these mutations suggests an ancient origin. G551D is common in north-west and central Europe, but is uncommon in other parts of Europe. W1282X has the highest frequency in Israel (36.2%), being also common in most Mediterranean countries and north Africa. Seventeen mutation have frequencies between 0.1 and 0.9%, 1717-1G-->A (0.83%), R553X (0.75%), R1162X (0.51%), 621 + 1G-->T (0.54%) and 2183AA-->G (0.36%), being the most common ones. Some mutations reach relatively high frequencies in some extended geographic regions, such as mutation 394delTT in northern Europe (1.1-28.8%), R117H in northwestern Europe (1.3-3.0%), R553X in central Europe (1.1-24.4%), 1717-1G-->A in Belgium and France (1.1-5.3%), and 2183AA-->G in Italy and Greece (3.2%). Other mutations are only common in small regions: T338I (Sardinia), 711 + 1G-->T (Tunisia), R1162X (Algeria and north of Italy), 1609delCA (east of Spain), 1811 + 1.6kbA-->G (southeastern Spain), R1066C (Portugal), S549R (Algeria), R334W (Crete), 621 + 1G-->T (Central Greece), 3849 + 10kbC-->T (Israel), 2789 + 5G-->A (south of Greece), 451 + 1G--A (Israel), R347P (south of Bulgaria), 1677delTA (south of Bulgaria and Turkey), G85E (south of Greece), R347H (Turkey), 3905insT (Switzerland), 1078delT (Brittany), 1898 + 1G-->A (Wales), A455E (The Netherlands), delta I507 (Brittany), 3659delC (Sweden) and R560T (northern Ireland). Most of these mutations must have an origin and diffusion in the specific European population subgroup. Overall 55 mutations are common in one or several countries or regions of Europe and 217 mutations are rare with relative frequencies of lower than 1% in any of these regions and countries. This information might facilitate mutation analysis of CF in the different regions of Europe.
Odor sensor using quartz-resonator array and neural-network pattern recognition (2003)

An experiment of odor identification using a neural network is described. A quartz-resonator array with different coating films was used, and its output pattern was recognized using a neural network. Various odors of commercially available liquors were identifiable by the network following training. The sensing system was adaptive to environmental variations during the cyclic process of the data sampling and training. High recognition probability was maintained even under temperature variations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Top down characterization of secreted proteins from <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> by electron capture dissociation mass spectrometry (2003)

Secreted proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are implicated in its disease pathogenesis and so are considered as potential diagnostic and vaccine candidates. The search for these has been slow, even though the entire genome sequence of M. tuberculosis is now available; of the 620 protein spots resolved by 2-D gel electrophoresis, 114 secreted proteins have been identified, but for only 13 has the primary structure been partly characterized. For comparison, in this top down mass spectrometry (MS) approach the secreted proteins were precipitated from cell culture filtrate, resuspended, and examined directly by electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform MS. The ESI spectra of three precipitates showed 93, 535, and 369 molecular weight (M(r)) values, for a total of 689 different values. However, only approximately 10% of these values matched (+/-1 Da) the DNA predicted M(r) values, but these identifications were unreliable. Of nine molecular ions characterized by MS/MS, only one protein match was confirmed, and its isotopic molecular ions were overlapped by those of another protein. MS/MS identified a total of ten proteins by sequence tag search, of which three were unidentified previously. The low success of M(r) matching was due to unusually extensive posttranslational modifications, including loss of a signal sequence, loss of the N-terminal residue, proteolytic degradation, oxidation, and glycosylation. Although in eubacteria the latter is relatively rare, a 9 kDa protein showed 7 hexose attachments and two 20 kDa proteins each had 20 attachments. For MS/MS, electron capture dissociation was especially effective.

Documented Fungal Infections after Prophylaxis or Therapy with Wide Spectrum Antibiotics: Relationship Between Certain Fungal Pathogens and Particular Antimicrobials? (1999)

Antibiotics are known to be one of the major risk factors for fungal infection. We investigated whether there was a relationship between particular documented fungal infections and therapeutically or prophylactically administered antimicrobials in 105 patients with fungemia or histologically proven invasive aspergillosis or fusariosis. Out of 105 patients, 82.9% received antimicrobials affecting anaerobic microbial gut flora such as: imipenem, vancomycin, ceftazidime, metronidazole, clindamycin or ampicillin-sulbactam. In addition, 44.5% of patients had received prophylaxis with ofloxacin. 31.5% of Candida albicans fungemias occurred despite empiric therapy with amphotericin B and 21.1% during prophylaxis with azoles. The incidence of C. albicans infections (fungemias) was significantly higher (58.9% vs 33.7%, p<0.04) in patients receiving antibiotics not affecting anaerobic gut flora such as ofloxacin, an aminoglycoside or azithromycin. On the other hand, patients treated with third generation cephalosporins, carbapenems, glycopeptides, and broad spectrum penicillins were more likely to develop proven invasive Aspergillus spp. infection (27.9% vs 5.3%, p<0.001) in comparison to those treated with antimicrobials which preserve anaerobic gut flora.
Canopy‐scale <i>δ</i><sup>13</sup><i>C</i> of photosynthetic and respiratory CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes: observations in forest biomes across the United States (2005)

Abstract The δ 13 C values of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) can be used to partition global patterns of CO 2 source/sink relationships among terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems using the inversion technique. This approach is very sensitive to estimates of photosynthetic 13 C discrimination by terrestrial vegetation (Δ A ), and depends on δ 13 C values of respired CO 2 fluxes ( δ 13 C R ). Here we show that by combining two independent data streams – the stable isotope ratios of atmospheric CO 2 and eddy‐covariance CO 2 flux measurements – canopy scale estimates of Δ A can be successfully derived in terrestrial ecosystems. We also present the first weekly dataset of seasonal variations in δ 13 C R from dominant forest ecosystems in the United States between 2001 and 2003. Our observations indicate considerable summer‐time variation in the weekly value of δ 13 C R within coniferous forests (4.0‰ and 5.4‰ at Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility and Howland Forest, respectively, between May and September). The monthly mean values of δ 13 C R showed a smaller range (2–3‰), which appeared to significantly correlate with soil water availability. Values of δ 13 C R were less variable during the growing season at the deciduous forest (Harvard Forest). We suggest that the negative correlation between δ 13 C R and soil moisture content observed in the two coniferous forests should represent a general ecosystem response to the changes in the distribution of water resources because of climate change. Shifts in δ 13 C R and Δ A could be of sufficient magnitude globally to impact partitioning calculations of CO 2 sinks between oceanic and terrestrial compartments.

Reaction of 2-alkenyl acetates with CH-acids catalyzed by palladium(O) complexes in the presence of base (1986)

The authors have found that the catalytic alkenylation of CH-acids CH/sub 2/XY and R'CHXY (R' is an alkyl group) with pK/sub a/ 17-25 by 2-alkenyl acetates is possible at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic system consisting of Pd((PhCH=CH)/sub 2/CO)/sub 2/ and (Ph/sub 2/PCH/sub 2/)/sub 2/ and a base in polar aprotic solvents or in nonpolar media containing a phase transfer catalyst. In the case of CH/sub 2/XY, a mixture of mono- and disubstituted compounds is formed.
Bi1-x-yTixSiyOz (BTSO) Thin Films for Dynamic Random Access Memory Capacitor Applications (2005)

Bi1–x–yTixSiyOz (BTSO) thin films were grown on eight inch diameter Ru/SiO2/Si or bare Si wafers by atomic layer deposition (ALD) method using Bi(mmp)3, Ti(mmp)4, and Si(OEt)4 [mmp = 1-methoxy-2-methyl-2-propoxide (OCMe2CH2OMe, Me = methyl); Et = ethyl] as metal alkoxide precursors and ozone (O3) as the oxidant gas. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) analysis showed that the as-deposited films are amorphous and the cation compositional ratio of Bi:Ti:Si is 0.38:0.37:0.25 of films deposited at 325 °C on Ru/SiO2/Si Ru substrates. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that the BTSO films are homogeneously dispersed without any phase-separation of the components. The BTSO films show excellent step coverage on a high aspect ratio (4) contact hole structure with a diameter of 300 nm. The leakage current density of BTSO films is on the order of 10–8 A cm–2 at 1 V, meeting present dielectric requirements for a dynamic random access memory storage capacitor with an equivalent oxide thickness of 2.1 nm. From the capacitance–voltage characteristics at 10 kHz of the Pt/BTSO/Ru capacitor, the estimated dielectric constant of amorphous BTSO films is ∼ 24.
Anti‐mosquito antibodies decrease the reproductive capacity of <i>Aedes aegypti</i> (1988)

Aedes aegypti (L.) fed on rabbits immunized with mosquito antigens showed a reduction in fecundity in the first oviposition and decreased viability of the progeny. Feeding behaviour of mosquitoes was not affected and no significant mortality was observed due to the presence of anti-mosquito antibodies in the bloodmeal. Antibodies were detected in the oocytes of mosquitoes 48 h after the bloodmeal. The role of specific antibodies in influencing fecundity is discussed.
Hyperspherical Prototype Networks (2019)

This paper introduces hyperspherical prototype networks, which unify classification and regression with prototypes on hyperspherical output spaces. For classification, a common approach is to define prototypes as the mean output vector over training examples per class. Here, we propose to use hyperspheres as output spaces, with class prototypes defined a priori with large margin separation. We position prototypes through data-independent optimization, with an extension to incorporate priors from class semantics. By doing so, we do not require any prototype updating, we can handle any training size, and the output dimensionality is no longer constrained to the number of classes. Furthermore, we generalize to regression, by optimizing outputs as an interpolation between two prototypes on the hypersphere. Since both tasks are now defined by the same loss function, they can be jointly trained for multi-task problems. Experimentally, we show the benefit of hyperspherical prototype networks for classification, regression, and their combination over other prototype methods, softmax cross-entropy, and mean squared error approaches.
Magnetic resonance imaging measurement of iron overload (2007)

Magnetic resonance imaging assessment of tissue iron is becoming increasingly important in the management of transfusional iron load because it is noninvasive, relatively widely available and offers a window into presymptomatic organ dysfunction. The techniques are highly reproducible within and across machines and have been chemically validated in the liver and the heart. These techniques will become the standard of care as industry begins to support the acquisition and postprocessing software.
