Analysis of microwave capacitors and IC packages (1994)

This paper presents quasi-static electromagnetic (EM) models for analysis and design of microwave capacitors and integrated circuit (IC) packages. The theoretical background for modeling of open 3-D boundaries with finite difference method (FDM) is reviewed and the use of current simulation method (CSM) for inductance computation is proposed. Computed data for the capacitance and inductance of capacitors with complex three-dimensional geometries are verified both numerically and experimentally, validating the proposed quasi-static models. Numerical results for practical devices and IC packages are also given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Capacitive, inductive and helicon-wave modes of operation of a helicon plasma source (1996)

Vector-rf-B-field measurements in the near-field of a helicon plasma source taken throughout the volume of the source are reported. Three distinct modes of operation of the helicon plasma source, capacitive, inductive, and helicon-wave, are identified by the structure of the plasma-wave-fields. Results are reported for a double-half-turn antenna, which is believed to be the first reporting for such an antenna structure in application to helicon-wave plasma sources. Comparison is made to a double-saddle-coil antenna which also demonstrates the distinct inductive and helicon-wave modes.
A ReRAM-Based 4T2R Nonvolatile TCAM Using RC-Filtered Stress-Decoupled Scheme for Frequent-OFF Instant-ON Search Engines Used in IoT and Big-Data Processing (2016)

This paper outlines the RC-filtered stress-decoupled (RCSD) 4T2R nonvolatile TCAM (nvTCAM) with the following benefits: 1) reduced NVM-stress; 2) reduced ML parasitic load; and 3) suppression of match-line (ML) leakage current from match cells. The RCSD-4T2R cell achieves a 6 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> reduction in NVM-stress, a 2 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> increase in maximum wordlength, and a 2 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> reduction in search delay. In this paper, we also outline two search schemes, referred to as dynamic source-line pulse controlled (DSL-PC) search and dataline-pulse controlled (DL-PC) search, which were developed specifically for the RCSD-4T2R nvTCAM. We fabricated a 128 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times $ </tex-math></inline-formula> 32 b RCSD-4T2R nvTCAM macro with HfO ReRAM using a 180 nm CMOS process. Using the DSL-PC and DL-PC schemes, the measured search delay of the RCSD-4T2R nvTCAM macro was 1.2 ns under typical VDD.
Transformation Rule Discovery through Data Mining. (2008)

Data-intensive software programs typically transform a set of source data values into target data values. While the group of developers who write, compile and test the software or the query have a clear understanding of the transformation logic (or transformation rules) at the time the program is created, that understanding can quickly fade at an enterprise level for a variety of reasons, including poor documentation, loss of the source (uncompiled) version of the software, loss of the developers who wrote the software, or lack of available skills in the programming language (e.g., COBOL). This leaves the enterprise in a precarious position of not being able to maintain, upgrade or migrate the software programs at the heart of their operations unless they can recreate the transformations that relate the source data to the target data. In this paper, we propose a technique to reverse engineer transformation rules by analyzing the data using data mining algorithms and processing the results of these algorithms. We demonstrate our technique using a prototype implementation and prove its correctness with a sample data set. 1.
Detection of the apoB-3500 mutation (glutamine for arginine) by gene amplification and cleavage with MspI. (1991)

A single primer-template mismatch 2 bp from the apoB-3500 (G to A) mutation permits introduction of a cleavage site for MspI (C/CGG) in normal alleles but not in mutant alleles (CCAG). After amplification, cleavage, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, normal and mutant alleles could be unambiguously distinguished. We constructed a positive (homozygous mutant) standard by site-directed mutagenesis. A negative standard was DNA from a homozygous normal subject. The method enables us to screen for the mutation with 12 microliters of spotted whole blood as the source of DNA.
A Comparison of Liquid and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as an Extraction Solvent for Plating Bath Treatment (1998)

Because of increasing federal regulations, alternative metal recovery methods for spent electroplating baths are needed. Supercritical extraction of waste metals using CO2 is potential candidate for this process. However, because of the high-cost of supercritical fluid processing equipment, an extraction system modeled on the use of liquid CO2 rather than supercritical CO2 may be more economical. For this reason, the use of liquid CO2 containing β-diketones as an extraction solvent for the removal of Ni2+ and Zn2+ from an electroplating solution was investigated and compared to results obtained with supercritical CO2. Acetylacetone (ACAC) and its fluorinated analogues were used as the ligands for the extraction of Ni2+ and Zn2+ from the electroplating bath. While the fluorinated ACAC showed a potential for a higher extraction efficiency, over 70% of both Ni2+ and Zn2+ was extracted using both liquid and supercritical CO2 using a 100-fold molar excess of ACAC. With isopropyl alcohol as a modifier, extraction efficiency was increased to over 80% for both metals using both phases of CO2 as the carrier fluid.
Study of human T and B lymphocytes with heterologous antisera. II. Partial characterization of a human T lymphocyte antigen. (1976)

Using a horse anti-human thymocyte serum made specific for T lymphocytes by absorption (anti-HTLA serum), a material reacting with it has been extracted from detergent-lysed peripheral blood lymphocytes. Acid elution and gel-filtration analysis allowed recovery of two peaks containing HTLA activity: one of 30,000-40,000 Daltons, the other being excluded by Sephadex G-200 and likely to be more than 300,000 Daltons. HTLA appeared to be released by lymphocytes incubated at 37 degrees, but not at 4 degrees, and significantly detectable after 10-24-h incubation. Finally co-capping experiments with anti-beta2m antibodies and absence of inhibition of cytolysis by anti-HTLA serum of celld beta2m.
Displacement Sensor Using A Compensated Fibre Link (1984)

The paper describes a remote (intensity based) displacement or pressure sensor. It includes work on a scheme for compensating variations in optical power, receiver sensitivity and fibre transmission loss in addition to tarnishing of the displacement (pressure) diaphragm. Results are presented for a prototype (uncompensated) sensor plus laboratory results for the compensated scheme.
Rapid identification of microorganisms by circular-intensity differential scattering (1982)

There is a pressing need in clinical medicine for rapid identification of microorganisms. We describe a method that has the potential for such rapid identification: circular-intensity differential scattering, which is based on the differential scattering of left and right circularly polarized light. The scanning time required to obtain the spectral signature of an organism is about 4 min. Using a commercial circular dichrograph modified to measure circular intensity differential scattering at 90 degrees, we obtained significantly different spectra for five different crude influenza viruses. Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100, and Escherichia coli HB101, HB101(pBR322), and HB101(pMB9). Purified supercoiled plasmid pBR322 DNA was readily distinguishable from linear pBR322 DNA; such differences in nucleic acid packaging may be significant factors in the discriminatory power of this technique.
Design in the shadow of impact population (2017)

This article explores the implications of population growth for the achievement of sustainable ways of living in Australia. Attention should be focused on the per capita impact of resource use, which in industrial societies is of the order of 50 times higher than in 1900. Amongst other reforms, radical changes in the way we design our built environment will be needed if we are to live in a sustainable way. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

Comparison of Wafer Scale Integration with VLSI Packaging Approaches (1987)

A comparison is made of various high-density packaging approaches, including printed wiring board, thick-film hybrids, and wafer scale integration (WSI). Criteria include power dissipation, density, delays, and cost. It is concluded that thin-film hybrids using state-of-the-art VLSI chips have the potential for WSI density and performance. The requirement for fault tolerance, additional levels of metallization, excess power dissipation, process conservatism to achieve finite yield, and the nonoptimum nature of the Al/Si0 <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> transmission line for cross wafer communication have made WSI noncompetitive.
Preliminary Study on the Distribution of Meridional Wind in Near Space (2015)

Based on high-altitude wind data in about one year,the seasonal changes and vertical profiles of meridional wind in near space were studied,and the reasons for the increase of meridional wind in spring and winter were analyzed.Meanwhile,the seasonal distribution of atmospheric circulation in the stratosphere was studied,and the seasonal changes and mechanism of wind conversion from the east to the west were revealed.The results show that the speed of meridional wind in near space was the highest in spring,followed by autumn and winter,while it was the lowest in summer;the increase of meridional wind in spring and winter was related to weather systems in the troposphere,such as the development of strong warm ridge over Xinjiang and cold trough system,and the system resulted in the increase of meridional wind.
Edge image description using angular radial partitioning (2004)

The authors present a novel approach for image representation based on geometric distribution of edge pixels. Object segmentation is not needed, therefore the input image may consist of several complex objects. For an efficient description of an arbitrary edge image, the edge map is divided into M×N angular radial partitions and local features are extracted for these partitions. The entire image is then described as a set of spatially distributed invariant feature descriptors using the magnitude of the Fourier transform. The approach is scale- and rotation-invariant and tolerates small translations and erosions. The extracted features are characterised by their compactness and fast extraction/matching time. They exhibit significant improvement in retrieval performance using the average normalised modified retrieval rank (ANMRR) measure. Experimental results, using an image database initiated from a movie, confirm the supremacy of the proposed method.
Folding of Circular and Permuted Chymotrypsin Inhibitor 2:  Retention of the Folding Nucleus (1998)

The 64-residue chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 (CI2) folds by a two-state nucleation-condensation mechanism, whereby secondary and tertiary structure coalesce concomitantly in the transition state around Ala 16 in the helical N-cap. Permutation of the SH3-domain of alpha-spectrin apparently shifts its folding nucleus to another region of the protein, suggesting that a protein's transition state may be altered by altering the protein's connectivity. We have characterized the structure of the transition state of a circular and a permuted version of CI2 by a protein engineering study encompassing 11 mutations. Circular CI2 was obtained by the introduction of cysteines at residues 3 and 63 and linking them by disulfide bond formation. Subsequent cyanogen-bromide cleavage of the scissile bond, Met 40-Glu 41, yielded permuted CI2. Circular and permuted CI2 also fold according to a two-state mechanism. Permutation does not affect the folding rate constant, but circularization increases it 7-fold. The transition states of circular and permuted CI2 are essentially unchanged from that of wild-type CI2. Importantly, the folding nucleus around Ala16 is retained. These results complement a previous observation that the transition state for association of two CI2 fragments (residues 1-40 and 41-64, generated by CNBr cleavage) is very similar to the folding transition state of intact CI2. The similarity of rate constants for folding of wild-type and permuted CI2, and their value relative to that for the association of fragments, allows us to estimate the gain in entropy of activation on having the separate fragments linked: 18.3 cal M-1 K-1; i.e. an effective molarity of 10(4) M. The contrast between the retention of the folding nucleus on permutation of CI2 and its change for the SH3-domain of alpha-spectrin probably arises because the latter was cleaved in its folding nucleus whereas cleavage at sites other than 40-41 in CI2 is very destabilizing. Whether or not a folding nucleus can be changed probably depends on the specific protein and its permissivity to permutation.
High performance simulation in quasi-continuous manufacturing plants (2005)

Though the quality of discrete simulation software packages is high, most are aimed at systems in which discrete objects change state as they move from work-station to work-station. This generic model is a good fit for some manufacturing, for example, much automotive production. However is not well suited to very high-speed quasi-continuous manufacturing as found in the food and drinks industry. LanSkim is a prototype PC-based package designed for these applications. It is simple to use and runs very fast but is insufficiently detailed for all purposes. Adding full detail would make the simulations run very slowly, hence we examine the use of parallel computation to allow increased level of detail. We describe Lan-WARPED, based on WARPED, which is a parallel simulation models of such plant.
Polaprezinc attenuates liver fibrosis in a mouse model of non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (2008)

These results suggest that polaprezinc attenuates fibrosis in NASH by reducing inflammation and lipid peroxidation and, during a later phase, promoting fibrolysis via the inhibition of TIMP expression in the liver. Further investigation is required to clarify the clinical efficacy of polaprezinc in patients with NASH.
Use of a colon simulation technique to assess the effect of live yeast on fermentation parameters and microbiota of the colon of pig (2012)

The impact of 2 doses of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae were evaluated, 5 × 10(10) cfu/kg of feed (L1) and 5 × 10(11) cfu/kg of feed (L2) against a control (CON) with no added yeast, using an in vitro model [colon simulation technique (Cositec)] to mimic digestion in the pig colon. The L2 (but not L1) dose significantly improved DM digestibility compared to CON (61 v 58%) and increased NH(3) concentrations (+15%). Volatile fatty acid concentrations increased with L2 compared to CON--isobutyrate (+13.5%), propionate (+8.5%), isovalerate (+17.8%), and valerate (+25%)--but only valerate was increased with L1 (+14.2%). The analysis of microbiota from the liquid associated bacteria (LAB) and solid associated bacteria (SAB) revealed an interaction between the fraction and treatment (P < 0.05). Indeed, L2 had a significant impact on SAB and LAB (P < 0.01) whereas L1 only tended to change the structure of the population in the SAB (P < 0.1). Overall, this study showed that a live yeast probiotic could improve digestion in a colonic simulation model but only at the higher dose used and this effect was associated with a shift in the bacterial population therein.
Requirements for Computer Based-Procedures for Nuclear Power Plant Field Operators Results from a Qualitative Study (2012)

Although computer-based procedures (CBPs) have been investigated as a way to enhance operator performance on procedural tasks in the nuclear industry for almost thirty years, they are not currently widely deployed at United States utilities. One of the barriers to the wide scale deployment of CBPs is the lack of operational experience with CBPs that could serve as a sound basis for justifying the use of CBPs for nuclear utilities. Utilities are hesitant to adopt CBPs because of concern over potential costs of implementation, and concern over regulatory approval. Regulators require a sound technical basis for the use of any procedure at the utilities; without operating experience to support the use CBPs, it is difficult to establish such a technical basis. In an effort to begin the process of developing a technical basis for CBPs, researchers at Idaho National Laboratory are partnering with industry to explore CBPs with the objective of defining requirements for CBPs and developing an industry-wide vision and path forward for the use of CBPs. This paper describes the results from a qualitative study aimed at defining requirements for CBPs to be used by field operators and maintenance technicians.
Methämoglominämie bei einem Neugeborenen nach Pudendus-Anästhesie der Gebärenden mit Prilocain (1990)

Bei einem genetisch gesunden Neugeborenen trat nach seiner Geburt unter Pudendus-Anästhesie mit Prilocain eine Methämoglobinämie auf. Die restitutio ad integrum wurde durch i. v. applizierte Ascorbinsäure und Thionin gefördert. Von besonderem Interesse ist in dem beschriebenen Fall, daß die von Prilocain auslösbare Methämoglobinämie hier nicht auf der Medikation der Patientin selbst beruhte, sondern auf die entsprechende Narkose der Gebärenden zurückgeführt werden muß. Die besondere Sensibilität von Neugeborenen und Kleinkindern gegenüber Methämoglobinämie auslösenden Noxen und mögliche Therapien werden diskutiert.
Architectures and Performance of Multichannel Multihop Packet Radio Networks (1987)

Packet radio networks that employ several parallel multiple-access channels are considered. An architecture for such a network dictates the selection of channels for packet transmission. We propose and analyze two multichannel architectures. In the first, each node employs a single radio and is assigned a channel on which it listens when it does not transmit. To transmit a packet, the node tunes its radio to the channel of the intended receiver for that transmission only. The second architecture requires each radio to use a single channel for both transmission and reception, but provides some of the nodes with more than one radio each, allowing them to serve as bridges between channels. Within these architectures, one can further select the amount of routing information held by each node and the channel-access protocol, both of which greatly affect the network performance. To ascertain the effects of the various parameters, we calculate the throughput in both architectures. The channel-access protocols we consider are slotted ALOHA and CSMA with and without capture. We also evaluate the effect of increasing the amount of routing information held by the nodes.
Lifetime enhanced phosphorescent organic light emitting diode using an electron scavenger layer (2015)

We demonstrate a method to improve lifetime of a phosphorescent organic light emitting diode (OLED) using an electron scavenger layer (ESL) in a hole transporting layer (HTL) of the device. We use a bis(1-(phenyl)isoquinoline)iridium(III)acetylacetonate [Ir(piq)2(acac)] doped HTL to stimulate radiative decay, preventing thermal degradation in HTL. The ESL effectively prevented non-radiative decay of leakage electron in HTL by converting non-radiative decay to radiative decay via a phosphorescent red emitter, Ir(piq)2(acac). The lifetime of device (t95: time after 5% decrease of luminance) has been increased from 75 h to 120 h by using the ESL in a phosphorescent green-emitting OLED.
Development of 157 nm positive resists (2001)

For adequate transparency we have selected hexafluoroisopropanol as an acid group and an α-trifluoromethylacrylic moiety as a repeat unit of our 157 nm resist polymers. The hexafluoroalcohol group is bound to norbornene or styrene. Four platforms are currently available to us: (1) all-acrylic, (2) all-alicyclic, (3) acrylic-alicyclic, and (4) acrylic-aromatic systems. While the all-alicyclic (all-norbornene) polymers are synthesized by transition-metal-initiated addition polymerization, all other polymers involving α-trifluoromethylacrylic monomers are prepared by conventional radical copolymerization. Characterization of the polymers and preliminary lithographic evaluation are reported.
Biological functions of SLC5A8, a candidate tumour suppressor (2005)

SLC5A8 is a candidate tumour suppressor gene that is silenced in colon cancer, gastric cancer and possibly other cancers in humans. This gene codes for a transporter belonging to the Na(+)/glucose co-transporter gene family (SLC5). The cancer-associated silencing of the gene involves hypermethylation of CpG islands present in exon 1 of the gene. SLC5A8 is expressed in colon, ileum, kidney and thyroid gland. The protein coded by the gene mediates the Na(+)-coupled and electrogenic transport of a variety of monocarboxylates, including short-chain fatty acids, lactate and nicotinate. It may also transport iodide. The normal physiological function of this transporter in the intestinal tract and kidney is likely to facilitate the active absorption of short-chain fatty acids, lactate and nicotinate. One of the short-chain fatty acids that serves as a substrate for SLC5A8 is butyrate. This fatty acid is an inhibitor of histone deacetylases and is known to induce apoptosis in a variety of tumours including colonic tumour. Since butyrate is produced in the colonic lumen at high concentrations by bacterial fermentation of dietary fibre, we speculate that the ability of SLC5A8 to mediate the entry of this short-chain fatty acid into colonic epithelial cells underlies the potential tumour suppressor function of this transporter.
Complex Susceptibility of Bi, Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Superconductors (1988)

In terms of complex susceptibility χ=χ'-iχ'', we measured the superconducting transition of the Bi, Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O systems, which were prepared by partial substitution of Pb for Bi. The observed χ of the disk samples shows that they contain both the bulk phase and the Josephson-like coupling phase, being similar to other oxide superconductors. From measurements of the powdered samples, we find that the system mostly consists of the high- T c phase, of which the onset temperature lies in the range of 115–120 K. The low- T c phase (80 K) is still involved, but the amount is roughly estimated to be 5% or less.
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway regulates growth and maintenance of colonospheres (2010)

Our data suggest that colonospheres formed by colon cancer cell lines are highly enriched in CSCs and that Wnt/beta-catenin pathway plays a critical role in growth and maintenance of colonospheres.
