Planar Helical Antenna of Circular Polarization (2015)

A planar helical antenna is presented for achieving wideband end-fire radiation of circular polarization while maintaining a very low profile. The helix is formed using printed strips with straight-edge connections implemented by plated viaholes. The currents flowing on the strips and along via-holes of the helix contribute to the horizontal and vertical polarizations, respectively. Besides, the current on the ground plane is utilized to weaken the strong amplitude of the horizontal electric field generated by the one on the strips. Thus, a good circular polarization can be achieved. Furthermore, a tapered helix and conducting side-walls are employed to broaden the axial ratio (AR) bandwidth as well as to improve the end-fire radiation pattern. The designed antenna operates at the center frequency of 10 GHz. Simulated results show that the planar helical antenna achieves wide-impedance bandwidth (|S11| <; -10 dB) from 7.4 to 12.8 GHz (54%) and 3-dB AR bandwidth from 8.2 to 11.6 GHz (34%), while retaining a thickness of only 0.11λ0 at the center frequency. A prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated and tested. Measured results are in good agreement with simulated ones.
Measuring Non-Functional Properties in Software Product Line for Product Derivation (2008)

A software product line (SPL) enables stakeholders to derive different software products for a domain while providing a high degree of reuse of their code units. Software products are derived in a configuration process by composing different code units. The configuration process becomes complex if SPLs contain hundreds of features. In many cases, a stakeholder is not only interested in functional but also in non-functional properties of a desired product. Because SPLs can be used in different application scenarios alternative implementations of already existing functionality are developed to meet special non-functional requirements, like restricted binary size and performance guarantees. To enable these complex configurations we discuss and present techniques to measure non-functional properties of software modules and use these values to compute SPL configurations optimized to the users needs.
Purification and Characterization of the Messenger RNA Coding for Bovine Corticotropin/β‐Lipotropin Precursor (1979)

The mRNA coding for the common precursor of corticotropin and β‐lipotropin has been purified to homogeneity from neurointermediate lobes of bovine pituitaries. The homogeneity of the mRNA preparation is evidenced by analysis of its translation product, electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel in the presence of formamide and analysis of the kinetics of hybridization with its cDNA. The purification procedure involves the isolation of RNA from membrane‐bound polysomes, chromatography on oligo(dT)‐cellulose and on poly(U)‐Sepharose and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The mRNA has a molecular weight of approximately 450000, equivalent to approximately 1360 nucleotides in length, and contains a polyadenylate sequence with an average length of 68 nucleotides. The size of the mRNA is sufficiently large to encode the corticotropin/β‐lipotropin precursor.

Degrees of Separation: Lester Horton’s (2014)

This essay examines Lester Horton’s 1937 production of Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) at the Hollywood Bowl. In particular, the genesis of the work and the transference of Russian modernism in 1930s Los Angeles is explored. The essay focuses on Horton’s professional relationships with two artists in Los Angeles, Adolph Bolm and Michio Ito, both of whom were in his proximity as teachers, mentors and colleagues when he created Le Sacre . The Russian émigré Bolm, a former dancer with the Ballets Russes during the period Nijinsky choreographed The Rite of Spring in 1913, was a well-established teacher and choreographer in Los Angeles. Bolm’s and Horton’s parallel interests in American Indian dance forms are discussed. Ito, the Japanese dancer and choreographer who was inspired to pursue dance after witnessing performances of the Ballets Russes, trained in Dalcroze Eurhythmics in Hellerau before settling in Los Angeles in 1929. Horton’s production of Le Sacre , the seventh created internationally and first West Coast version is discussed in detail, drawing on the choreographer’s rehearsal notes and other first-hand accounts.
CITYSCAPE: civil infostructure technology system for collaborative analysis, prediction, and evaluation (2002)

The goals of Project CITY (Civil Infostructure Technology) are to provide a technology demonstration of information infrastructure for civil infrastructure management and to demonstrate the Team Engineering Analysis and Modeling (TEAM) methodology in the analysis, design, and evaluation of that information infrastructure. The community of practice of Project CITY is the Directorate of Public Works (DPW) at a major Army installation. This paper focuses on the design of CITYSCAPE, the suite of software tools that have been developed for the DPW.
O-GAN: Extremely Concise Approach for Auto-Encoding Generative Adversarial Networks (2019)

In this paper, we propose Orthogonal Generative Adversarial Networks (O-GANs). We decompose the network of discriminator orthogonally and add an extra loss into the objective of common GANs, which can enforce discriminator become an effective encoder. The same extra loss can be embedded into any kind of GANs and there is almost no increase in computation. Furthermore, we discuss the principle of our method, which is relative to the fully-exploiting of the remaining degrees of freedom of discriminator. As we know, our solution is the simplest approach to train a generative adversarial network with auto-encoding ability.
LiNbO <sub>3</sub> acoustic plate mode sensor for dilute ionic solutions (1990)

Experimental studies of ZX-LiNbO3 acoustic plate modes as detectors for dilute electrolyte or metal ion solutions are reported which indicate a strong acousto-ionic interaction. The results show an increase in sensitivity and resolution by more than two orders of magnitude compared with previously reported acoustic wave sensors.
Hierarchical Statistical Learning of Generic Parts of Object Structure (2006)

With the growing interest in object categorization various methods have emerged that perform well in this challenging task, yet are inherently limited to only a moderate number of object classes. In pursuit of a more general categorization system this paper proposes a way to overcome the computational complexity encompassing the enormous number of different object categories by exploiting the statistical properties of the highly structured visual world. Our approach proposes a hierarchical acquisition of generic parts of object structure, varying from simple to more complex ones, which stem from the favorable statistics of natural images. The parts recovered in the individual layers of the hierarchy can be used in a top-down manner resulting in a robust statistical engine that could be efficiently used within many of the current categorization systems. The proposed approach has been applied to large image datasets yielding important statistical insights into the generic parts of object structure.
ATP-dependent movement of myosin in vitro: characterization of a quantitative assay. (1984)

Sheetz and Spudich (1983, Nature (Lond.), 303:31-35) showed that ATP-dependent movement of myosin along actin filaments can be measured in vitro using myosin-coated beads and oriented actin cables from Nitella. To establish this in vitro movement as a quantitative assay and to understand better the basis for the movement, we have defined the factors that affect the myosin-bead velocity. Beads coated with skeletal muscle myosin move at a rate of 2-6 micron/s, depending on the myosin preparation. This velocity is independent of myosin concentration on the bead surface for concentrations above a critical value (approximately 20 micrograms myosin/2.5 X 10(9) beads of 1 micron in diameter). Movement is optimal between pH 6.8 and 7.5, at KCl concentrations less than 70 mM, at ATP concentrations greater than 0.1 mM, and at Mg2+ concentrations between 2 and 6 mM. From the temperature dependence of bead velocity, we calculate activation energies of 90 kJ/mol below 22 degrees C and 40 kJ/mol above 22 degrees C. Different myosin species move at their own characteristic velocities, and these velocities are proportional to their actin-activated ATPase activities. Further, the velocities of beads coated with smooth or skeletal muscle myosin correlate well with the known in vivo rates of myosin movement along actin filaments in these muscles. This in vitro assay, therefore, provides a rapid, reproducible method for quantitating the ATP-dependent movement of myosin molecules on actin.
Serum concentration of <scp>L</scp>‐kynurenine predicts the clinical outcome of patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma treated with R‐CHOP (2009)

Serum L-kynurenine might be a novel prognostic factor to determine the treatment outcome of DLBCL with the R-CHOP regimen.
Feedforward Neural Network Implementation in FPGA Using Layer Multiplexing for Effective Resource Utilization (2007)

This paper presents a hardware implementation of multilayer feedforward neural networks (NN) using reconfigurable field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Despite improvements in FPGA densities, the numerous multipliers in an NN limit the size of the network that can be implemented using a single FPGA, thus making NN applications not viable commercially. The proposed implementation is aimed at reducing resource requirement, without much compromise on the speed, so that a larger NN can be realized on a single chip at a lower cost. The sequential processing of the layers in an NN has been exploited in this paper to implement large NNs using a method of layer multiplexing. Instead of realizing a complete network, only the single largest layer is implemented. The same layer behaves as different layers with the help of a control block. The control block ensures proper functioning by assigning the appropriate inputs, weights, biases, and excitation function of the layer that is currently being computed. Multilayer networks have been implemented using Xilinx FPGA "XCV400hq240". The concept used is shown to be very effective in reducing resource requirements at the cost of a moderate overhead on speed. This implementation is proposed to make NN applications viable in terms of cost and speed for online applications. An NN-based flux estimator is implemented in FPGA and the results obtained are presented.
Design of FPGA-controlled power electronics and drives using MATLAB Simulink (2013)

We present a simple and rapid prototyping technique for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs)-based digital controllers for power electronics and motor drives using MATLAB's Simulink and HDL Coder design software. The MATLAB/Simulink models are optimized and converted to target independent, specific and traceable Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) code for FPGA programming. An example implementation of the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique is presented, illustrating the design of a generic 3-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). Simulation and co-simulation, system level design, and verification for rapid prototyping of FPGA-based digital controllers will assist power electronics engineers and researchers to develop and prototypes in a relatively short time by eliminating tedious and time-consuming manual coding. This enables increased productivity and facilitates the development of power electronic controllers with more complex control algorithms.
NK1 and NK2 receptors contribute to C-fibre evoked slow potentials in the spinal cord (1994)

Small diameter primary afferents produce slow synaptic potentials in spinal neurones. These can be recorded as prolonged ventral root potentials (VRPs) in the isolated neonatal rat spinal cord preparation. The VRP elicited by stimulating C-fibres consists of two phases: an early phase comprising a monosynaptic and a short polysynaptic response identical to that elicited by low threshold A beta fibres and a late phase which has an initial component (0.1-1 s) which is sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor antagonism and a very long lasting second component (1-20 s) which is resistant to these antagonists. We now demonstrate that the slowest component of the VRP is significantly reduced by both NK1 and NK2 tachykinin receptor antagonists and as a consequence, tachykinins have a particular contribution to the cumulative depolarization produced by low frequency (1 Hz) C-fibre stimulation.

Activation Pathways and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Replication Are Not Altered in CD4 <sup>+</sup> T Cells Expressing the <i>nef</i> Protein (1992)

While recent studies in Rhesus monkeys have pointed out the importance of an intact nef gene for the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), no biological function has been so far unambiguously attributed to its product. Since Nef has been described to possess GTP-binding properties and to down-regulate CD4 cell surface expression, we looked for evidences of Nef interfering with the transduction of activating signals in human CD4+ T cells. We used a murine leukemia retroviral vector to express the HIV-1BRU nef gene in two permanent tumoral T-cell lines (CEM and Jurkat) and in two nonimmortalized, interleukin-2 (IL2)-dependent, T-cell clones. The single copy recombinant provirus integrated in the genome of these cells directed the synthesis of a 27-kD protein with a half-life greater than 5 h. The levels of expression of cell surface molecules involved in T-cell functions (CD4, CD3, CD28, CD29, IL-2 receptor) were not modified in cell populations expressing Nef. In immunocompetent T-cell clones, cell proliferation and lymphokine production in response to activating stimuli (IL-2, alloantigens, phorbol esters, or antibodies directed against CD2, CD3, CD4, CD28) remained unmodified. Moreover, the presence of Nef did not change the kinetics of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
教員養成学部生の就職志望動機,教職適性感及び習得適性の変容に関する追跡研究(II) (1993)

The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine the changes in students' cognition of teacher aptitudes, motivation, and fitness judgement of becoming teachers during 4 years university education. The present report was concerned with the changes of those items in 231 students who answered the questionnaire all of 3 test occasions. The factor analysis on the ideal teacher aptitudes revealed 5 factors: social skills, knowledge, sensitivity, practical skills, and vitality. It was suggested that the perceived motivation and fitness to teacher were decreased over time, and that the junior students' image of teacher as profession was realistic one comparing with that of sophomores. These findings were discussed comparing with the results of the previous study.
Li[Ni<sub>0.9</sub>Co<sub>0.09</sub>W<sub>0.01</sub>]O<sub>2</sub>: A New Type of Layered Oxide Cathode with High Cycling Stability (2019)

Abstract Substituting W for Al in the Ni‐rich cathode Li[Ni 0.885 Co 0.10 Al 0.015 ]O 2 (NCA89) produces Li[Ni 0.9 Co 0.09 W 0.01 ]O 2 (NCW90) with markedly reduced primary particle size. Particle size refinement considerably improves the cathode's cycling stability such that the NCW90 cathode retains 92% of its initial capacity after 1000 cycles (compared to 63% for NCA89), while the cathode produces a high initial discharge capacity of 231.2 mAh g −1 (at 0.1 C). Thus, the proposed NCW90 can deliver high energy density and a long battery lifetime simultaneously, unlike other Ni‐rich layered oxide cathodes. This unprecedented cycling stability is mainly attributed to a series of interparticular microfractures that absorb the anisotropic lattice strain caused by a deleterious phase transition near the charge end, thereby improving the cathode's resistance to fracture. Microcrack suppression preserves the mechanical integrity of the cathode particles during cycling and protects the particle interior from detrimental electrolyte attack. The proposed NCW90 cathode provides an improved material from which a new series of Ni‐rich layered cathode can be developed for next‐generation electric vehicles.
T Cell Antigen Receptors (2024)

Antigen recognition by T lymphocytes is central both to the generation of an effective immune response and for its regulation. Many important questions in immunology have centered around the nature of the clonally distributed receptor on T cells that mediates specific antigen recognition. Classic experiments by Zinkernagel and Doherty 1-3 defined the nature of the ligand for the T cell receptor (TCR) on cytotoxic T cells as an antigen in association with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule. Subsequently, MHC class 11 restriction was established for antigen recognition by T helper cells. 4 , 5 Experiments with chimeric animals indicated that this phenomenon of self-MHC restriction is learnt, or selected for, during T cell ontogeny within the thymus. 6 An obligatory corollary of MHC restriction is the elimination or inactivation of self-reactive T cells, giving rise to self-tolerance.
On-the-fly TCP path selection algorithm in access link load balancing (2005)

Many enterprises install multiple access links for fault tolerance or bandwidth enlargement. Dispatching connections through good links is the ultimate goal in utilizing multiple access links. The traditional dispatching method is only based on the condition of the access links to ISPs. It may achieve fair utilization of the access links but poor performance on connection throughput. In this work, we propose a new approach to maximize the per-connection end-to-end throughput by the on-the-fly round trip time (RTT) probing mechanism. The RTTs through all possible links are probed by duplicating the SYN packet during the three way handshaking stage of a TCP connection. Combined with the statistical packet loss ratio and the passively collected link metrics, our algorithm can real-time select a link which provides the maximum throughput for the TCP connection. The experiment results show that the accuracy of choosing the best outgoing access link is over 71%. If the second best link is chosen, it is usually very close to the best, thus achieving over 89% of the maximum possible throughput. The average per-connection throughput for our algorithm and the traditional round-robin algorithm is 94% vs. 69%.
Decomposed crossbar switches with multiple input and output buffers (2002)

Conventional input switches usually employ a single crossbar switch fabric to transfer cells from input buffers to output ports. This type of switch suffers from input and output cell contention problems which cause lower performance than for output buffer switches. However, dividing one crossbar fabric into several smaller crossbar fabrics, we can decrease the input and output contention probabilities. Based on this principle, we propose a new decomposed crossbar switch architecture. Since a decrease in input and output contention probabilities causes an increase in the grant probability for the cells at input buffers, the proposed decomposed crossbar switches yield better performance than conventional input switches. We derive the grant probability for a simple arbitration algorithm and evaluate the performance of the proposed switch architecture in terms of the average cell latency through simulation.
