Preparation and characterization of electropolymerized poly(<i>N</i>‐substituted maleimide‐<i>co</i>‐styrene) coatings on copper substrates (1993)

Abstract poly( N ‐substituted maleimide‐ co ‐styrene) copolymer films were electropolymerized onto copper substrates as possible candidates for electronic applications. The N ‐substituted moieties that were investigated include phenyi, 3‐carboxyphenyl, and 4‐carboxyphenyl. Uniform coatings of 25 μm or more thickness were successfully applied using each of the three N ‐substituted maleimides. The thickness was controlled by manipulating the monomer concentration, current density, and reaction time. Not only did the 3‐ and 4‐carboxyphenylmaleimide (CMI)/styrene copolymers have high glass transition temperatures (220°C) and fairly good thermal stability (≈ 430°C), but they also have rather low dielectric constants (2.55 for 4‐CMI/styrene), comparable to those of polyimides. Polymerization of the coatings was observed by in‐situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS), using a special cell that made the observation of the polymer structure development possible. It was found by FTIRS that all three monomers, when used with styrene, produced alternating copolymers. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
A configurable TCAM/BCAM/SRAM using 28nm push-rule 6T bit cell (2015)

Conventional Content Addressable Memory (BCAM and TCAM) uses specialized 10T / 16T bit cells that are significantly larger than 6T SRAM cells. We propose a new BCAM/TCAM that can operate with standard push-rule 6T SRAM cells, reducing array area by 2-5× and allowing reconfiguration of the CAM as an SRAM. Using a 6T 28nm FDSOI SRAM bit cell, the 64×64 (4kb) BCAM achieves 370 MHz at 1V and consumes 0.6fJ/search/bit.
A Strategic Fit Model for IT Outsourcing Success: An Exploratory Approach (2001)

During the last decade, outsourcing has emerged as a major strategic alternative in information systems management.Although various outsourcing strategies have been appeared, most of studies have focused on one or two dimensions of outsourcing strategies without consideration of their combination effects.Being perhaps the first attempt, this exploratory study identifies major four dimensions for outsourcing strategy, and seeks to examine the concept of fit or congruence to describe the nature of the interrelationships among them using a Korean sample.The results of cluster analysis support the notion of gestalt fit by grouping six clusters.The results also suggest that organizations in congruent groups (clusters one, two, and six) appear to realize a greater degree of outsourcing success than those in non-congruent groups (clusters three, four, and five).Interestingly, cluster six (total outsourcing based on long-term partnership with multiple vendors) displays the highest outsourcing achievement among them.
Resolution analysis of geophysical images: Comparison between point spread function and region of data influence measures (2006)

To solve ill‐posed geophysical inverse problems, we routinely incorporate prior information into our solution. This stabilizes the solution, but also complicates the appraisal process because of the bias introduced into the solution. If the end goal of our data analysis involves decisions based on our solution, it is of great importance that we take steps to quantify how much information came from data and how much came from prior information. In this paper, we examine spread measures computed using point spread functions and compare them with a region of data influence index. Both of these methods have previously been used in the context of appraisal analysis. Using a linear problem we examine the relation between the two measures. We illustrate the relation with both a linear synthetic example as well as a nonlinear field example using controlled source electromagnetics. We establish some of the mathematical relationships that exist between the two appraisal tools.
Simplified wavelet estimation using source-signature measurements (2000)

The problem of vertical resolution is to determine the wavelet at the target. Mis-ties at wells of ±20 ms are normal in the best 3-D seismic data, and they present no simple pattern. The seismic wavelet in poststack 3-D data clearly varies both laterally and vertically. The lateral variations are caused by two effects: shot-to-shot and line-to-line variations in acquisition parameters (especially source-signature variations) and prestack, trace-dependent filtering processes (such as predictive deconvolution). The vertical variations are caused by attenuation in the earth. The approach described in this paper is to eliminate the lateral variations in acquisition using independent measurements of the source wavefield and to ensure that any trace-dependent filtering has no effect on the wavelet. Vertical variations are then tackled as a separate problem. This approach provides a firm framework within which to interpret subtle stratigraphy.
Monolithic Chip System with a Microfluidic Channel for <i>In Situ</i> Electron Microscopy of Liquids (2014)

Electron microscopy of enclosed liquid samples requires the thinnest possible membranes as enclosing windows as well as nanoscale liquid sample thickness to achieve the best possible resolution. Today liquid sample systems for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are typically made from two sandwiched microchips with thin membranes. We report on a new microfabricated chip system based on a monolithic design that enables membrane geometry on the scale of a few micrometers. The design is intended to reduce membrane deflection when the system is under pressure, a microfluidic channel for improved flow geometry, and a better space angle for auxiliary detectors such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We explain the system design and fabrication and show the first successful TEM images of liquid samples in the chips.
Genome-wide karyomapping accurately identifies the inheritance of single-gene defects in human preimplantation embryos in vitro (2014)

PurposeOur aim was to compare the accuracy of family- or disease-specific targeted haplotyping and direct mutation-detection strategies with the accuracy of genome-wide mapping of the parental origin of each chromosome, or karyomapping, by single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping of the parents, a close relative of known disease status, and the embryo cell(s) used for preimplantation genetic diagnosis of single-gene defects in a single cell or small numbers of cells biopsied from human embryos following in vitro fertilization.MethodsGenomic DNA and whole-genome amplification products from embryo samples, which were previously diagnosed by targeted haplotyping, were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms genome-wide detection and retrospectively analyzed blind by karyomapping.ResultsSingle-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping and karyomapping were successful in 213/218 (97.7%) samples from 44 preimplantation genetic diagnosis cycles for 25 single-gene defects with various modes of inheritance distributed widely across the genome. Karyomapping was concordant with targeted haplotyping in 208 (97.7%) samples, and the five nonconcordant samples were all in consanguineous regions with limited or inconsistent haplotyping results.ConclusionGenome-wide karyomapping is highly accurate and facilitates analysis of the inheritance of almost any single-gene defect, or any combination of loci, at the single-cell level, greatly expanding the range of conditions for which preimplantation genetic diagnosis can be offered clinically without the need for customized test development.
Two-layer resist structure for electron-beam fabrication of a submicrometer gate length GaAs device (1987)

A two-layer resist structure using EBR-9 and PMMA for fabricating a fine metal line with a mushroom-like cross-sectional profile is reported. The structure provides T-shaped resist cavities with undercut profiles using electron-beam exposure. With the optimum developing condition, the bottom opening is as small as 0.1 µm, and the top opening is wide enough not to require an additional exposure in order to obtain a mushroom-like metal lift-off pattern. A Monte Carlo calculation is carried out in order to analyze the profile of the two-layer resist structure, and it is shown that an undercut T-shaped resist profile with a 0.1-µm bottom opening can be obtained using a high-sensitivity resist on a low-sensitivity resist structure. A 0.15-µn mushroom-like lift-off metal profile has been fabricated on a 0.1-µm recessed GaAs substrate by the use of this resist structure.
Cloning, Sequencing, and Functional Expression in <i>Escherichia coli</i> of Chaperonin (<i>groESL</i>) Genes from <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> (1999)

Using a series of oligonucleotides synthesized on the basis of conserved nucleotide motifs in heat-shock genes, the groESL heat-shock operon from a Vibrio cholerae TSI-4 strain has been cloned and sequenced, revealing that the presence of two open reading frames (ORFs) of 291 nucleotides and 1,632 nucleotides separated by 54 nucleotides. The first ORF encoded a polypeptide of 97 amino acids, GroES homologue, and the second ORF encoded a polypeptide of 544 amino acids, GroEL homologue. A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that the primary structures of the V. cholerae GroES and GroEL proteins showed significant homology with those of the GroES and GroEL proteins of other bacteria. Complementation experiments were performed using Escherichia coli groE mutants which have the temperature-sensitive growth phenotype. The results showed that the groES and groEL from V. cholerae were expressed in E. coli, and groE mutants harboring V. cholerae groESL genes regained growth ability at high temperature. The evolutionary analysis indicates a closer relationship between V. cholerae chaperonins and those of the Haemophilus and Yersinia species.

Targeted Transgene Expression in Muller Glia of Normal and Diseased Retinas Using Lentiviral Vectors (2007)

Pseudotyped LV vectors containing glia-specific promoters efficiently transduce and direct sustained transgene expression in retinal Müller glia. Vectors of this type will be useful for experimental treatment of retinal disease, as well as for physiological and developmental investigations of the retina.

A Scalable Interactive TV Service Supporting Synchronized Delivery over Broadcast and Broadband Networks (2004)

This contribution focuses on two aspects of innovative TV services delivering a new, personalized and interactive rich media experience. The first aspect, service scalability, caters for terminal heterogeneity with respect to screen size, processing power and network connectivity. This way, it allows consuming a rich media TV service using different mobile terminals in addition to the TV set. The second aspect, synchronized content delivery over co-operative DVB and broadband IP networks, provides a flexible way to transmit different components of a service using different network technologies. Depending on content properties, network parameters and current number of subscribers, the best-suited transmission mechanism is chosen automatically for each content item. The system provides end-to-end support to present two media streams synchronously at the receiver side, even if they are transmitted via different networks. As an example a personalized news service is presented which takes advantage of the described features.
Influence of Salinity Stress on proteomic profiles of Cicer arietinum L. (2012)

The present study was aimed to study the influence of salt stress on the proteomic profiles of Cicer arietinum L. by using SDS-PAGE. Seedlings of Cicer arietinum were exposed to different salt concentrations (4%, 6%, 8% and 10%) of NaCl. Multiple regions of actively stained system were obtained for SDS-PAGE. On 15th day, a total of 79 bands were observed and their RM values ranged from 0.011 to 0.988. Based on the occurrence and non-occurrence of the proteins in the gel system, the protein profiles were classified in to three categories viz., salt tolerant proteins, salt inducible proteins and salt sensitive proteins.
Imitation Learning with Concurrent Actions in 3D Games (2018)

In this work we describe a novel deep reinforcement learning architecture that allows multiple actions to be selected at every time-step in an efficient manner. Multi-action policies allow complex behaviours to be learnt that would otherwise be hard to achieve when using single action selection techniques. We use both imitation learning and temporal difference (TD) reinforcement learning (RL) to provide a 4x improvement in training time and 2.5x improvement in performance over single action selection TD RL. We demonstrate the capabilities of this network using a complex in-house 3D game. Mimicking the behavior of the expert teacher significantly improves world state exploration and allows the agents vision system to be trained more rapidly than TD RL alone. This initial training technique kick-starts TD learning and the agent quickly learns to surpass the capabilities of the expert.
Private Deep Learning with Teacher Ensembles (2019)

Privacy-preserving deep learning is crucial for deploying deep neural network based solutions, especially when the model works on data that contains sensitive information. Most privacy-preserving methods lead to undesirable performance degradation. Ensemble learning is an effective way to improve model performance. In this work, we propose a new method for teacher ensembles that uses more informative network outputs under differential private stochastic gradient descent and provide provable privacy guarantees. Out method employs knowledge distillation and hint learning on intermediate representations to facilitate the training of student model. Additionally, we propose a simple weighted ensemble scheme that works more robustly across different teaching settings. Experimental results on three common image datasets benchmark (i.e., CIFAR10, MINST, and SVHN) demonstrate that our approach outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods on both performance and privacy-budget.

Effect of Cosolvents on the Structural Stability of Endoglucanase from<i>Aspergillus aculeatus</i> (2009)

The effects of cosolvents such as sucrose, glycerol, and sorbitol on endoglucanase have been studied by activity, circular dichroic spectroscopy, fluorescence, and apparent thermal transition temperature measurements. The endoglucanase activity increased by 4-fold at 40% cosolvent concentration under optimum conditions. The endoglucanase lost 50% of its activity when exposed to 90 degrees C for more than 30 min (1 h). In the presence of cosolvents, it maintained its original activity and native conformation as indicated by far UV-CD at 70 degrees C. The app T(m) increased from a control value of 57 degrees C to a value of 66 degrees C in the presence of 40% sucrose. The partial specific volume of endoglucanase was 0.723 mL/g in sodium acetate buffer. The preferential interaction parameters were negative in all cosolvents, and the maximum hydration of the protein was observed in 40% glycerol where the preferential interaction parameter was -0.126 g/g. The thermal stability of endoglucanase increased in the presence of cosolvents.
Contribution to the Biology of Certain Aquatic Lepidoptera.* (1916)

Insects of the order Lepidoptera are so pre-eminently terrestrial in organization and habit that the existence of aquatic species is not commonly known, even among biologists. Information concerning American forms which inhabit the water is meager and only a few of their remarkable adaptations have been described. Klapálek and Grünberg (’09, pp. 96–159) discuss sixty species and varieties, which they consider as aquatic, from the fresh waters of Germany and there is reason to believe that ultimately the American aquatic species will be found to exceed that number. During the summers of 1911–15 the writer made some studies of the Lepidoptera of Northern Michigan in connection with which special attention was given to the aquatic group. The data, which form the basis of this paper, were secured in the immediate vicinity of Douglas Lake, in the extreme northern part of the Southern Peninsula. Certain portions of the margins of this lake are rich in aquatic vegetation and afford good breeding grounds for a considerable variety of aquatic animal life. Adults of five species of the genus Nymphula (Welch, ’15, p. 118) were found in some abundance about the protected bays and beach pools. This genus is unique in being one of the very few groups of Lepidoptera which include species having aquatic stages in the life history. Of the species of Nymphula known to occur in North America, six are aquatic in some or all of the immature stages. The larvæ of several other species are not known, but it is probable that they, too, will be found to be aquatic.
MIMO UWB Communications Using Modified Hermite Pulses (2006)

In this paper, we present a new full rate scheme for exploiting diversity in multi-antenna ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The independent data streams that are transmitted simultaneously from the different antennas are rendered orthogonal by the use of modified Hermite pulses. At a second time, appropriate real rotations enhance the transmit diversity level. We also consider, for the first time, the problem of maximum likelihood (ML) detection with multi-dimensional PPM and hybrid PPM-PAM constellations that can be used in conjunction with the proposed scheme

Prolate spheroidal wavefunctions, quadrature and interpolation (2001)

Polynomials are one of the principal tools of classical numerical analysis. When a function needs to be interpolated, integrated, differentiated, etc, it is assumed to be approximated by a polynomial of a certain fixed order (though the polynomial is almost never constructed explicitly), and a treatment appropriate to such a polynomial is applied. We introduce analogous techniques based on the assumption that the function to be dealt with is band-limited, and use the well developed apparatus of prolate spheroidal wavefunctions to construct quadratures, interpolation and differentiation formulae, etc, for band-limited functions. Since band-limited functions are often encountered in physics, engineering, statistics, etc, the apparatus we introduce appears to be natural in many environments. Our results are illustrated with several numerical examples.

Thrombotic complications of subclavian apheresis catheters in cancer patients: Prevention with heparin infusion (1990)

Twenty-two silicone rubber apheresis catheters were placed into the subclavian veins of 18 cancer patients to allow serial leukapheresis for collection of circulating hematopoietic stem cells. The tips of the catheters were placed in the innominate vein to avoid reinfusion of citrate into the right atrium and the resulting tendency to cardiac arrhythmias. Sixteen catheters were placed without prophylactic anticoagulation. Anticoagulation was prematurely discontinued in one patient because of the inconvenience of the portable heparin infusion pump. Six of these 17 catheters developed venographically proven thrombotic complications and five others had presumed thrombosis-related access failure or caused symptoms of venous obstruction, but confirmation of the presence of a thrombus with venography was not obtained. Three catheters spontaneously withdrew from the vein, one during urokinase infusion for thrombosis. Only three catheters had uncomplicated apheresis courses. Prophylactic heparin infusions via portable infusion pumps were given after placement of six catheters. As long as the heparin infusions were continued all patients had uncomplicated apheresis courses. One patient's heparin was prematurely discontinued. Within 3 days of its discontinuance, radiographically proven thrombotic catheter occlusion occurred. Patients given heparin were less likely to develop complications (P less than 0.001). No unexpected complications of apheresis were encountered as a result of the use of these catheters. Silicone rubber subclavian catheters can be used for peripheral stem cell collection but have a high frequency of thrombotic complications. Systemic anticoagulation with heparin can minimize the likelihood of these complications.
