High Temperature Microsensors Based On Polycrystalline Diamond Thin Films (2005)

SUMMARY The outstanding properties of diamond and the reproducible deposition of polycrystalline diamond on large area substrates has made it an interesting base material for microsensors. Of special importance are sensor applications at high temperatures and in harsh environments. Microsensors based on polycrystalline diamond films include thermistors, pressure sensors, flow sensors, and chemical sensors. But today’s diamond film microsenSOTS’ long term operation is limited by two mechanisms: (i) oxidation of the diamond film above 500°C and (ii) degradation of the contacts. Therefore it is necessary that reliable contacts, passivation, and packaging for high temperature applications and harsh environments are developed.
Role of p160 Coactivator Complex in the Activation of Liver X Receptor (2004)

The p160 coactivator complex members SRC-1 and p300, but not CARM-1 and P/CAF, coactivate LXR-mediated transcription of ABCA1 gene. In addition, p300 activates ABCA1 transcription independently of DR-4 element and LXR/RXR.
Mediators of Fever and Muscle Proteolysis (1983)

The accelerated catabolism of skeletal-muscle protein that accompanies severe trauma or infection can now be ascribed to the actions of endogenously produced mediators. Two noteworthy studies described1 , 2 in this issue of the Journal have identified these actions by using in vitro preparations of rat skeletal muscle in a bioassay. Rates of proteolysis in muscle preparations were determined by measuring the release of free amino acid into the medium.Clowes et al.1 isolated and partially characterized a small glycopeptide from the plasma of patients with sepsis or trauma. When compared with control samples of normal plasma, samples containing the mediator were . . .
Die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Verfahren zur Verbrennung von ungereinigtem, teilgereinigtem und ungekühltem Gichtgas und des Einschmelzens von Hüttenwerksstäuben in Schmelzfeuerungen (1970)

Eine Wirtschaftlichkeitsbetrachtung muß von bestimmten Vergleichsgrundlagen ausgehen. Hierzu eignen sich die in diesem Bericht angeführten Werte der Wirtschaftsvereinigung Eisen und Stahl, Düsseldorf, sowie auch die von dieser Seite veröffentlichten Zusammenstellungen über die Bewertung von Abfallstoffen in Hüttenwerken. Außerdem wurden Veröffentlichungen des Vereins Deutscher Eisenhüttenleute zugrunde gelegt (Abschnitt 4 des Berichtes).
Central representation of visceral function. (1987)

Recent studies of the visceral sensory system, using both electrophysiological and neuroanatomical methods, indicate that there is representation of multiple visceral modalities at all levels of the central nervous system. In the nucleus of the solitary tract gustatory afferents are represented rostrally, and general visceral afferents caudally. At the pontine relay, the parabrachial nucleus, the gustatory afferents are represented medially, and the general visceral afferents laterally. Although the evidence for anatomical separation of visceral projections is incomplete for the hypothalamus and amygdala, the visceral sensory thalamus and cortex are viscerotopically organized. The results indicate that the ascending visceral sensory system is viscerotopically organized at all levels of the brain, and that this information is important for the integration of autonomic responses at all levels of the neuroaxis.
Non-classical lexical semantic relations (2004)

NLP methods and applications need to take account not only of "classical" lexical relations, as found in WordNet, but the less-structural, more context-dependent "non-classical" relations that readers intuit in text. In a reader-based study of lexical relations in text, most were found to be of the latter type. The relationships themselves are analyzed, and consequences for NLP are discussed.
A Digital Readout IC with Digital Offset Canceller for Capacitive Sensors (2012)

A digital readout IC for capacitive sensors is presented. Digital capacitance readout circuits suffer from static capacitance of sensors, especially single-ended sensors, and require large passive elements to cancel such DC offset signal. For this reason, to maximize a dynamic range with a small die area, the proposed circuit features digital filters having a coarse and fine compensation steps. Moreover, by employing switched-capacitor circuit for the front-end, correlated double sampling (CDS) technique can be adopted to minimize low-frequency device noise. The proposed circuit targeted 8-㎑ signal bandwidth and oversampling ratio (OSR) of 64, thus a 3<SUP>rd</SUP>-order ΔΣ modulator operating at 1 ㎒ was used for pulse-density-modulated (PDM) output. The proposed IC was designed in a 0.18-㎛ CMOS mixed-mode process, and occupied 0.86 × 1.33 ㎟. The measurement results shows suppressed DC power under about -30 ㏈FS with minimized device flicker noise.
Compression of colour images by inter-band compensated prediction (2006)

A new technique, called inter-band compensated prediction, for coding colour and multispectral images is presented. It is suitable to use for coding any spectral domain and can code colour and multispectral images with any number of bands. This technique is based on the same principles as the very efficient motion compensated prediction largely used in video coding. Thus, each band is predicted in the spectral direction by compensating the differences in the neighbouring bands and then coding the prediction error spatially by another method. This is a forward adaptive prediction and the information used for compensation is coded as side information with prediction error. The comparison of the coding results with the state-of-the-art coding algorithms, based on spectral transformations, proves that this technique is very efficient and can even outperform them. In addition, compensation can be combined with any spatial coder that allows lossless, lossy and scalable coding of any spectral content of the image. It has also the advantages of being simple to implement and to use with parallel architectures.
A polynomial time algorithm for optimizing join queries (2002)

The dynamic programming algorithm for query optimization has exponential complexity. An alternative polynomial time algorithm, the IK-KBZ algorithm, is severely limited in the queries it can optimize. Other algorithms have been proposed, including the greedy algorithm, iterative improvement, and simulated annealing. The AB algorithm, which combines randomization and neighborhood search with the IK-KBZ algorithm, is presented. The AB algorithm is much more generally applicable than IK-KBZ, has polynomial time and space complexity, and produces near optimal plans in the space of outer linear join trees. On average, it does better than the other algorithms that do not do an exhaustive search like dynamic programming.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Geographical Variation in Risk HLA-DQB1 Genotypes for Type 1 Diabetes and Signs of β-Cell Autoimmunity in a High-Incidence Country (2004)

These data show that in Finland, the country with the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes in the world, both the frequency of the high-risk HLA-DQB1 genotype and the risk of seroconversion to autoantibody positivity show geographical variation. The difference in seroconversion rate could not be explained by the difference in HLA-DQB1-defined disease susceptibility, implying that the impact of environmental triggers of diabetes-associated autoimmunity may differ between the three regions studied.
Nitrates, chlorates and trihalomethanes in swimming pool water. (1980)

Water from swimming pools in the Miami area was analyzed for nitrates, chlorates and trihalomethanes. The average concentrations of nitrate and chlorate found in freshwater pools were 8.6 mg/liter and 16 mg/liter respectively, with the highest concentrations being 54.9 mg/liter and 124 mg/liter, respectively. The average concentration of total trihalomethanes found in freshwater pools was 125 micrograms/liter (mainly chloroform) and in saline pools was 657 micrograms/liter (mainly bromoform); the highest concentration was 430 micrograms/liter (freshwater) and 1287 micrograms/liter (saltwater). The possible public health significance of these results is briefly discussed.
Thermal‐oxidative characteristics of some high‐temperature diesel lubricants (1996)

Abstract Many advanced engine concepts require lubricants that function in a hightemperature environment. The thermal‐oxidative characteristics of some lubricants formulated for such purposes have been studied by a new thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) procedure. Factors affecting the stability of lubricants at elevated temperatures were incorporated into the experimental design. Information extracted from the TGA was able to provide insights into the thermal stability, oxidative stability, and oxidative volatility of lubricants. The merits of the technique were demonstrated by examining data obtained from engine tests simulating the operating conditions of the low‐heat‐rejection (LHR) engine. These engine test data confirmed that the NIST TGA is a useful tool in studying or formulating lubricants designed for high‐temperature applications.

Baseline drift is generated when digital signals get through the Alternating Current coupling network.If verdict electricity of receiver keeps constant,the baseline drift will influence the judgment of the receiver and result in increasing of the error code percentage.The authors analyze the reasons of the baseline shift generation and put forward a scheme for controlling the baseline shift.They designed a circuit to realize the scheme.The circuit has been used in optical fiber transmission network of one missile control system.
Transmitter diversity for robustness to channel estimation errors (2005)

Joint space-time (ST) coding and constellation rotation is considered in the presence of imperfect channel state information. The combined system with two transmit antennas is shown to be more resistant to channel estimation errors than ST coding. Experiments involving channel estimation errors agree with the related theory reported in the literature.
Phase-error estimation and image reconstruction from digital-holography data using a Bayesian framework (2017)

The estimation of phase errors from digital-holography data is critical for applications such as imaging or wavefront sensing. Conventional techniques require multiple i.i.d. data and perform poorly in the presence of high noise or large phase errors. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate isoplanatic phase errors from a single data realization. We develop a model-based iterative reconstruction algorithm that computes the maximum a posteriori estimate of the phase and the speckle-free object reflectance. Using simulated data, we show that the algorithm is robust against high noise and strong phase errors.
Low driving power SAW atomiser (2006)

A low driving power surface acoustic wave (SAW) atomiser has been developed. An SAW driving structure consists of a unidirectional interdigital transducer, a horn, and a waveguide fabricated on a 128°YXLiNbO3 substrate. At a frequency of about 78 MHz, about 1 W of driving power was sufficient for continuous atomisation of water. Mean diameter of droplets and atomising rate were about 1.5 µm and 40 µl/min, respectively.
Specific interactions of synthetic peptides derived from P. falciparum merozoite proteins with human red blood cells. (1992)

In the search for strategies which might help in the elucidation of molecular mechanisms involved in the red blood cell (RBC) invasion by P. falciparum merozoites, and with the specific aim of establishing whether synthetic peptides derived from selected parasite proteins bind to human RBCs, 26 different peptides were chemically synthesized and radiolabeled. It was found that the peptides could be grouped, according to their RBC-binding kinetics, into high, medium and low binding activity. A correlation was detected between the high binding activity of a peptide and the presence of either a KEK motif (or its variants LEK or KEL) or a NVXAA (where X is V or Y). Peptides with medium or low binding activities did not possess either of these two consensus sequences. Selective modification of amino acids within the KEK motif diminished their uptake or binding capacity. Competitive inhibition assays of labeled or unlabeled peptide demonstrated a correlation between the presence of KEK or NVXAA motifs and a high binding activity of a peptide. Invasion-inhibition studies showed a direct correlation between a peptide's binding activity and inhibitions of human RBC reinvasion. Other experiments showed that high binding activity peptides show a decreased uptake with related and nonrelated human erythrocytes.
A novel image interpolation method using the bilateral filter (2010)

In general, since the noise deteriorates the interpolation performance in digital images, it is effective to employ denoising prior to the interpolation. In this paper, we propose a novel interpolation framework in which denoising and image sharpening methods are embedded. In the proposed framework, the image is first decomposed using the bilateral filter into the detail and base layers which represent the small and large scale features, respectively. The detail layer is adaptively smoothed to suppress the noise before interpolation and an edge-preserving interpolation method is applied to both layers. Finally, the high resolution image is obtained by combining the base and detail layers. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional methods while suppressing blurring and jagging.
Synthesis and Characterization of Lactic Acid Based Telechelic Prepolymers (1996)

The synthesis of low molecular weight (Mn (NMR) < 7000 g/mol) lactic acid prepolymers by condensation polymerization of l-lactic acid was investigated. Besides the l-lactic acid polymer, hydroxyl- and carboxyl-terminated telechelic prepolymers were also prepared by the addition of small amounts of 1,4-butanediol and adipic acid, respectively. All polymerizations were carried out in a melt with tin octoate as the catalyst. The products were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR. According to NMR, the resulting prepolymers contained less than 1 mol % of lactic acid monomer and less than 4.1 mol % of lactide. End group analysis of the polymers was carried out by comparing the NMR spectra of different polymers. According to NMR, the lactic acid can be copolymerized so that the resulting prepolymer chains have only one kind of end group, hydroxyl or carbonyl. The integrated area of the identified end group peak (hydroxyl or acid) was then used in molecular weight calculations. In 13C-NMR studies, the molecular weights were calculated by using the peaks in the methine area. The molecular weights were also calculated by using the peak integrals of 1H-NMR spectra of different polymers. The calculated molecular weights were systematically smaller than the molecular weights determined by GPC, and on about the same order as the molecular weights determined by titrimetric methods. The number-average molecular weights of prepared prepolymers determined by GPC varied from 2800 to 18 000 g/mol, depending on the amount of difunctional substance added. The glass transition temperatures varied from 16.7 to 46 °C.
Sound Propagation in Homogeneous Deciduous and Evergreen Woods (1963)

The sound attenuation due to trees has been measured (under atmospheric conditions requiring no corrections) at about twenty locations, representing four selected types of woods. A constant excess attenuation of 7 dB/100 ft was found at frequencies below 2000 cps, in disagreement with previous workers. With the sound source in the open at the edge of the woods, effects due to change of medium were observed, viz. an increase of sound-pressure level in the woods and a distinctive S-shaped curve of attenuation vs frequency. This is suggestive of resonant absorption, although a theory developed according to such a hypothesis, while having the correct frequency dependence, fails to predict the magnitude of the observed results by a factor of 103. Transverse modes of vibration of the branches were shown to be the oscillators active in the frequency range of interest, 250 cps in the lower branches to about 1100 cps near the top of the tree; indications were that trunk resonances might also be important.
Specific Protein Detection Using Designed DNA Carriers and Nanopores (2015)

Nanopores are a versatile technique for the detection and characterization of single molecules in solution. An ongoing challenge in the field is to find methods to selectively detect specific biomolecules. In this work we describe a new technique for sensing specific proteins using unmodified solid-state nanopores. We engineered a double strand of DNA by hybridizing nearly two hundred oligonucleotides to a linearized version of the m13mp18 virus genome. This engineered double strand, which we call a DNA carrier, allows positioning of protein binding sites at nanometer accurate intervals along its contour via DNA conjugation chemistry. We measure the ionic current signal of translocating DNA carriers as a function of the number of binding sites and show detection down to the single protein level. Furthermore, we use DNA carriers to develop an assay for identifying a single protein species within a protein mixture.

Numerical simulation of the microchannel for the microfluidic based flow sensor (2012)

Microfluidic technology has given major contribution to the advancement of the sensor especially in the development of microchannel. Previously, we proposed the design structure consist of microchannel which is integrated with dome-shaped container and electrode. The underwater flow sensor generally used in aqua robotic and underwater vehicle for the monitoring and surveillance. The fluid flow gives drag force to the dome-shaped which resulting some displacement and causes the liquid inside the microchannel moving. In this paper, the performance of microchannel had been simulated and discussed in order to optimize the microchannel based on the variation of height and the selection of liquid. The computational fluid dynamic (CFD) FLUENT software was used for the simulation of microchannel. From the CFD, the velocity profile has been analyzed for under and fully develop region to study the fluid flow behavior. The velocity for variation microchannel height 300μm until 1100μm was plotted where the channel with large dimension has an advantage in order to make the fluid flow smooth. In order to achieve the small scale of sensor, we limited the channel size to 400μm. Another factor that influences the fluid flow inside the microchannel is properties of liquid. A few liquids such as methanol, ethanol, water and propylene carbonate were selected. The important property we consider in selection of the right liquid is the surface tension where is it related to the kinematic viscosity. From the simulation, we prove that the liquid that having lowest kinematic viscosity and low surface tension such as methanol is have better performance than another liquid for sensing purpose.
Lateral-rectus approach for treatment of acetabular fracture combined with ipsilateral pelvic fracture (2014)

Objective To explore the clinical effect of lateral-rectus approach for the intemal fixation of acetabular fractures with concurrent ipsilateral pelvic fracture.Methods From March 2011 to March 2013,15 patients with acetabular fracture and ipsilateral type C pelvic fracture were surgically managed through the lateral-rectus approach.They were 10 males and 5 females,with an average age of 45.6 years (from 21 to 64 years).According to Judet-Letournel classification,there were 8 anterior column fractures,3 anterior column plus posterior hemitransverse fractures,and 4 double column fractures.All the cases had concurrent pelvic fractures.By Tile classification,there were 5 cases of type B2.1,7 ones of type C1.2,and 3 ones of type C1.3.The duration from injury to surgery ranged from 5 to 21 days,averaging 11 days.Eleven cases of merely anterior acetabular and pelvic fractures were treated with the lateral-rectus approach only,in the supine position.Four cases involving the posterior acetabular wall and posterior column were treated with combined lateral-rectus and posterior Kocher-Langenbeck approaches,in the floating position.The titanium reconstruction plates and cannulated screws were applied in these cases.Results The operation time averaged 105 minutes and the intraoperative blood loss 640 mL.Postoperative X-ray and CT exams showed excellent and good reduction.According to the Matta radiological evaluation postoperatively,reduction of acetabular fracture was rated as anatomic in 8 cases,satisfactory in 4 and unsatisfactory in 3.Injury to the sciatic nerve occurred in one case,and fat liquefaction at the abdominal incision in one case.All the patients were followed up for 10 to 20 months (average,16 months) and the fractures healed after 10 to 15 weeks (average,12 weeks).According to the modified Merle d'Aubigne and Postel scoring system,10 cases were excellent,4 good,and one fair 6 months after operation.Conclusions Surgical management of acetabular fractures through the lateral-rectus approach can provide adequate exposure for not only the treatment of acetabular fractures involving the anterior column and the quadrilateral surface,but also the simultaneous treatment of ipsilateral fractures involving the pubic superior ramus,iliac ala and sacroiliac joint,leading to fine outcomes.
