A Complete Spectral Polarimeter Design for Lightwave Communication Systems (2006)

The authors describe a fast spectral polarimeter operating in the lightwave communications band capable of measuring both state-of-polarization and degree-of-polarization of hundreds (up to thousands) of spectral components in parallel within milliseconds. In this paper, the design incorporates fast switching ferroelectric liquid crystals for polarization component selection on the 100-mus scale. Dispersion elements and an arrayed detector are used for wavelength-parallel sensing. Bandwidth of coverage can be scaled from a single wavelength-division multiplexed channel to more than 100 nm, and 256 spectral polarization measurements in under 1 ms are verified. Finally, a calibration algorithm is used to minimize measurement error. This instrument offers unprecedented sensing capability relevant to the monitoring and compensation of polarization-related impairments in high-speed lightwave communications
<i>N</i>-(Phenylsulfonyl)- and <i>N</i>-Methyl-<i>N</i>-(phenylsulfonyl)benzohydrazonoyl Azides. Thermally Induced Cyclization to Tetrazoles and Decomposition to Benzonitriles (1984)

Abstract N-(Phenylsulfonyl)- and N-methyl-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzohydrazonoyl azides, prepared from the corresponding hydrazonoyl chlorides and sodium azide, undergo the cyclization to 5-phenyl-1-(phenylsulfonylamino)-1H-tetrazoles together with the competitive decomposition to benzonitriles and the Curtius-type rearrangement leading to semicarbazides when heated in benzene under reflux. The tetrazole formation of hydrazonoyl azides may be characteristic of such hydrazonoyl azides as those carrying an N-sulfonyl substituent, the strong electron-withdrawing nature of which probably promotes the cyclization.
Biodegradable polymer film reinforcement of an indocyanine green-doped liquid albumin solder for laser-assisted incision closure (2000)

Reinforcement of liquid albumin solders in laser-assisted incision repair seems to have advantages in terms of acute breaking strength over conventional methods that do not reinforce the cohesive strength of the solder.
The Role of Platelets in the Pathogenesis of Thrombosis and Hemorrhage in Patients with Thrombocytosis (1977)

Some patients with thrombocytosis due to myeloproliferative diseases or other etiologies experience thromboembolic complications and others may bleed excessively. It seems unlikely that elevations in platelet count per se are a direct cause either of thrombosis or of hemorrhage. In an effort to ascertain whether variations in platelet function might determine whether an individual patient experiences thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications we have evaluated platelet function in 22 patients with thrombocytosis due to a variety of etiologies. The results of platelet counts, bleeding time determinations, and studies of platelet aggregation were similar in patients with thrombosis, in patients with bleeding and in patients with neither complication. Therefore, detailed studies of platelet coagulant activities were carried out in 8 patients. The results of platelet coagulant activity assays were normal in all 3 patients with thrombocytosis and neither thrombotic nor bleeding complications and an additional 3 patients with myeloproliferative diseases, normal platelet counts and no thrombohemorrhagic complications. In 2 patients with thrombotic complications significant elevation of platelet coagulant activities concerned with the early phases of intrinsic coagulation were observed whereas in 2 patients with severe hemorrhagic complications deficiencies of either contact forming activity or collagen-induced coagulant activities were evident. This preliminary study suggests the possibility that variations in platelet coagulant activities concerned with the early stages of intrinsic coagulation may determine whether patients with thrombocytosis will experience bleeding or thrombotic complications.
Demagnetization factors for elliptic cylinders (2005)

The magnetometric (volume averaged) demagnetization factors for cylinders with elliptical cross section are computed using a Fourier-space approach and compared with similar results obtained with a different treatment. The demagnetization factors are given as a series expansion in the eccentricity epsilon of the elliptical cross section, where the terms up to order epsilon(10) are given explicitly as a function of the cylinder aspect ratio. Other simplified expressions, valid in restricted regimes, are also given. Two different series expansions, obtained previously and valid in particular combinations of shape parameters, are recalled and compared with the new results. After the computation of the magnetostatic and exchange-energy terms associated with a vortex closure-domain state in the elliptic cylinder, the single-domain limit, or the critical size below which the structure can support quasi-uniform magnetization, is derived and discussed.

JuxtaView - a tool for interactive visualization of large imagery on scalable tiled displays (2005)

JuxtaView is a cluster-based application for viewing ultra-high-resolution images on scalable tiled displays. We present in JuxtaView, a new parallel computing and distributed memory approach for out-of-core montage visualization, using LambdaRAM, a software-based network-level cache system. The ultimate goal of JuxtaView is to enable a user to interactively roam through potentially terabytes of distributed, spatially referenced image data such as those from electron microscopes, satellites and aerial photographs. In working towards this goal, we describe our first prototype implemented over a local area network, where the image is distributed using LambdaRAM, on the memory of all nodes of a PC cluster driving a tiled display wall. Aggressive prefetching schemes employed by LambdaRAM help to reduce latency involved in remote memory access. We compare LambdaRAM with a more traditional memory-mapped file approach for out-of-core visualization.
Techniques for reducing residual monomer content in polymers: A review (2002)

Abstract Reducing the residual monomer content is a desire of every polymer producer, as a product with no or very low levels of residual monomer would have a different commercial appeal. The presence of residual monomer may create hazards to workers as a result of long‐term exposure during polymer processing and sometimes even to customers. There are several techniques for reducing residual monomer content and the industrial importance that has been given to the presence of residual monomers in polymeric products is reflected in the number of patents involving residual monomer reduction techniques. Nevertheless, choosing the best, or the most adequate, technique is not always an easy task, and one still observes a relative lack of scientific literature on this subject. The technique to be employed will depend upon polymer application, which determines the grade of purity, and also on polymer quality, as some monomer reducing techniques might change polymer properties. The main objective of this review is to summarize and discuss the principal methods employed for reducing residual monomer content.
Next generation integrated development of automation control code in TORERO (2004)

Industrial control technology experiences a strong trend towards distributed systems. This leads to the distribution of formerly physically centralised hardware and software into smaller units, which are distributed within the automation system. From the software point of view, a major state-of-the-art technology for this is the international standard IEC 61499, for which however wide spread applications do not exist. In addition, Internet related technologies also have to be considered, to enhance the overall system performance. Related to these topics diverse proposals created by different organisations exist, which specify a future way of building industrial automation applications. All these approaches have the common modeling paradigm of programming distributed applications by connecting the function blocks in a "system editor". The function blocks for the single distributed units need to be programmed in a specific editor which is device specific. The overall system functionality thus can only be programmed as relationships of already existing function blocks. Within the IST initiative of the European Commission, the funded research project TORERO aims at specifying both an integrated development environment (IDE) and an architectural platform on specific devices which together allow for the distribution of (central) control functions.
Anti-CD3 x anti-tumor F(ab')2 bifunctional antibody activates and retargets tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (1995)

Bifunctional Abs (BFA) with specificity for the TCR/CD3 complex of T cells and tumor Ag can bridge T lymphocytes and tumor cells and, thereby, trigger activation events. The ability of intact and F(ab')2 anti-CD3 (500A2) x anti-p97 (96.5) BFA to induce activation of T lymphocytes in the presence of murine melanoma tumor cells (CL-62) expressing human melanoma-associated Ag (p97) was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Intact and F(ab')2 BFA induced significant proliferation of T lymphocytes in the presence of p97+ tumor cells. Incubation of splenocytes with intact or F(ab')2 BFA and p97+ tumor cells increased BFA-mediated cytotoxicity against relevant tumor cells. Intact BFA, in contrast to F(ab')2 BFA, induced some activation of T cells in vitro even in the absence of p97+ target cells. In nontumor-bearing mice, administration of F(ab')2 BFA, in contrast to intact BFA, did not increase cytotoxic activity of lymph node (LN) cells and splenocytes. However, when F(ab')2 BFA was administrated into CL-62-bearing mice, an increase of BFA-mediated cytotoxicity of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, but not splenocytes nor LN cells, was observed. Moreover, in D-galactosamine-sensitized mice, injection of intact BFA (1 microgram/mice) induced 100% lethality, whereas the same dose of F(ab')2 BFA was not toxic. These results demonstrate that F(ab')2 BFA can induce activation of cytotoxic lymphocytes only in the presence of relevant tumor cells, both in vitro and in vivo. That these activated lymphocytes can be redirected to lyse relevant tumor cells by the same BFA has important implications for the clinical application of BFA anti-tumor therapies.
Tamanu (<i>Calophyllum inophyllum</i>) – the African, Asian, Polynesian and Pacific Panacea (2002)

Tamanu or Calophyllum inophyllum has been used traditionally as a local medicine for many different purposes. The oil has been proven to be vulnerary and cicatrising in its effects. The chemicals responsible for this action are calophyllolide and inophyllum in addition to other complex polyphenols.
Hydrophilic Agarose Macrobead Cultures Select for Outgrowth of Carcinoma Cell Populations That Can Restrict Tumor Growth (2011)

Cancer cells and their associated tumors have long been considered to exhibit unregulated proliferation or growth. However, a substantial body of evidence indicates that tumor growth is subject to both positive and negative regulatory controls. Here, we describe a novel property of tumor growth regulation that is neither species nor tumor-type specific. This property, functionally a type of feedback control, is triggered by the encapsulation of neoplastic cells in a growth-restricting hydrogel composed of an agarose matrix with a second coating of agarose to form 6- to 8-mm diameter macrobeads. In a mouse cell model of renal adenocarcinoma (RENCA cells), this process resulted in selection for a stem cell-like subpopulation which together with at least one other cell subpopulation drove colony formation in the macrobeads. Cells in these colonies produced diffusible substances that markedly inhibited in vitro and in vivo proliferation of epithelial-derived tumor cells outside the macrobeads. RENCA cells in monolayer culture that were exposed to RENCA macrobead-conditioned media exhibited cell-cycle accumulation in S phase due to activation of a G(2)/M checkpoint. At least 10 proteins with known tumor suppression functions were identified by analysis of RENCA macrobead-conditioned media, the properties of which offer opportunities to further dissect the molecular basis for tumor growth control. More generally, macrobead culture may permit the isolation of cancer stem cells and other cells of the stem cell niche, perhaps providing strategies to define more effective biologically based clinical approaches to treat neoplastic disease.
New roles for the major human 3′-5′ exonuclease TREX1 in human disease (2008)

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Familial Chilblain Lupus (FCL) and Retinal Vasculopathy and Cerebral Leukodystrophy (RVCL) {a new term encompassing three independently described conditions with a common etiology--Cerebroretinal Vasculopathy (CRV), Hereditary Vascular Retinopathy (HVR) and Hereditary Endotheliopathy, Retinopathy and Nephropathy (HERNS)}--have previously been regarded as distinct entities. However, recent genetic analysis has demonstrated that each of these diseases maps to chromosome 3p21 and can be caused by mutations in TREX1, the major human 3'-5' exonuclease. In this review, we discuss the putative functions of TREX1 in relationship to the clinical, genetic and functional characteristics of each of these conditions.
Frontal Ring-Opening Metathesis Copolymerization: Deviation of Front Velocity from Mixing Rules (2019)

Frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) shows promise for rapid, energy-efficient manufacturing of high-performance polymers and composites. Copolymerization in FROMP allows for systematic modification of materials properties while retaining the benefits of the DCPD system such as low cost of the monomer and excellent mechanical properties of the resulting polymer. While the copolymerization reactivity and copolymer properties generally exhibit monotonic dependence on monomer composition as predicted by simple, empirical mixing rules, we discovered that the frontal copolymerization behavior of DCPD with a dinorbornenyl (di-NBE) cross-linker deviates significantly from that expected relationship. As the comonomer content increases, the FROMP reaction shows a nonmonotonic increase in front velocity with intermediate compositions 40% faster than either pure component. We then studied the behavior of a series of comonomers, analyzed several factors (such as thermodynamic and kinetic properties) that might influence front velocity, and found that the nonmonotonic trend mainly results from the cross-linked structure. This copolymerization system provides a promising strategy to tune materials properties (such as glass transition temperature) and simultaneously improve the efficiency in FROMP-based materials manufacturing.

Analysis of the robustness of the TMR architecture in SRAM-based FPGAs (2005)

Non radiation-hardened SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are very sensitive to Single Event Upsets (SEUs) affecting their configuration memory and thus suitable hardening techniques are needed when they are intended to be deployed in critical applications. Triple Module Redundancy is a known solution for hardening digital logic against SEUs that is widely adopted for traditional techniques (like ASICs). In this paper we present an analysis of the SEU effects in circuits hardened according to the Triple Module Redundancy to investigate the possibilities of successfully applying TMR to designs mapped on commercial-off-the-shelf SRAM-based FPGAs, which are not radiation hardened. We performed different fault-injection experiments in the FPGA configuration memory implementing TMR designs and we observed that the percentage of SEUs escaping TMR could reach 13%. In this paper we report detailed evaluations of the effects of the observed failure rates, and we proposed a first step toward an improved TMR implementation.
10 GHz narrow band SAW filters using diamond (1999)

Harmonic phenomena for the layered structures have been discussed and show several differences from those for bulk substrates. An equivalent circuit model for the harmonics including velocity dispersion has been presented and compared with experiments. SAW filters up to 10 GHz have been fabricated over one micron line width using the ZnO/diamond structure.
Hybrid Name Matching Methods for Rule Based Thai Naming System (2005)

Names are important in many societies, even in technologically oriented ones which use ID systems or other ways to identify individual people. There are many elements of personal names which vary in and between the different cultures. Names such as personal surnames are the most important as they are used in many processes, such as identifying of people, record linkage and for genealogical research as well. On the other hand, variation of names can be a major problem for the identification and search for people, e.g. web search or security reasons. We show name variations for different cultures to guide the implementation of a rule based naming system, currently worked out for Thai names. We discuss characteristics of the LIG (Levenshtein, Index of Similarity Group (called ISG), and Guth) algorithms which help to find reasonable variants of names. A further benefit of this process would be an optimization for name searching.
Induction of CD8 T cell-mediated EAE by viral infections in a CD8 TCR transgenic mouse model (130.31) (2007)

Abstract Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Besides CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells have recently been shown to mediate the pathogenesis of EAE. The cause of MS is not clear, but infections have been suggested. In this study, we investigated the roles of viral infections in the development of EAE on a CD8 T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mouse model. Infection with wildtype vaccinia virus broke tolerance and triggered atypical EAE in a TCR transgenic mouse specific for myelin basic protein 79–87 (MBP79-87). CD8 T cells up-regulated activation markers and trafficked to the CNS in virus-infected mice. Interestingly, CD8 T cells from TCR-transgenic MBP deficient mice also displayed activation markers, and had cytolytic effector function similar to that from TCR transgenic MBP sufficient mice. T cell activation was not due to MBP TCR cross-reactivity against vaccinia virus. Furthermore, preliminary data showed that disease induction by vaccinia virus required endogenous TCRs. Ongoing experiments are extending these observations into another viral infection. In conclusion, the results suggest that viral infection may induce EAE by activation through dual TCR.
Negative Ion Density Measurements in Reactive Magnetron Sputtering (2009)

Abstract A combination of laser photo‐detachment and conventional Langmuir probing has been used to obtain the bulk negative ion density in both a DC and radio frequency (RF) sputter magnetron. The argon and oxygen discharges were operated at low powers and over a range of pressures. The photo‐detachment signal is expected to reach a limiting value; however, the signal continues to increase with laser energy density and this can be attributed to a laser ablation effect. In the RF magnetron the electron temperature ( T e ) in oxygen decreased with increasing pressure, whereas the electron density ( N e ) increased from 0.53 to 8.6 × 10 14 m −3 . At around 12 mTorr, a sudden increase in N e by 3.7 is accompanied by a small drop in T e . The negative ion density ( N − ) also increases with pressure reaching a maximum of 1.7 × 10 14 m −3 between 5 and 10 mTorr. Under similar conditions, the DC magnetron negative ion fraction ( N − / N e ) is estimated to be ∼0.01, being significantly lower than in the RF magnetron where N − / N e ≈ 1.
Entanglement-Assisted Classical Capacity of Noisy Quantum Channels (1999)

Prior entanglement between sender and receiver, which exactly doubles the classical capacity of a noiseless quantum channel, can increase the classical capacity of some noisy quantum channels by an arbitrarily large constant factor depending on the channel, relative to the best known classical capacity achievable without entanglement. The enhancement factor is greatest for very noisy channels, with positive classical capacity but zero quantum capacity. We obtain exact expressions for the entanglement-assisted capacity of depolarizing and erasure channels in $d$ dimensions.
