MULTIAXIAL FATIGUE LIFE PREDICTION OF 1CrMoV ROTOR STEEL USING A CRITICAL PLANE APPROACH (2013)

Recent development of multiaxial low cycle fatigue is summarized. Multiaxial fatigue life prediction methods of the critical plane approach are concentrated. A series of fatigue tests were presented on 1CrMoV rotor steel under proportional and non-proportional axial-torsional loading. The finite element method( FEM) is used for the analysis of the multiaxial fatigue behavior of the test specimens of 1CrMoV steel as well as the state of the stress-strain. Basing FEM results,several critical plane approachs are presented and applied to correlate results from tests conducted on 1CrMoV specimens. The computational results show that the strain-based models Li Jing( LZH) and Li( LRF) as well as the energy-based models Varvani-Farahani( VF) and Lee( LKN) give satisfactory life predictions when the maximum damage plane is used for the critical plane,the LZH and VF models without containing empirical constant are easy and convenient for engineering application.
THE NLRB AND WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS: A MANAGERIAL PERSPECTIVE ON APPLYING UNION RULES TO THE NONUNION WORKFORCE (2000)

This article examines the new legal landscape for nonunion employers who contemplate conducting investigations of alleged wrongdoing by their employees. The National Labor Relations Board recently ruled that a certain right (the “Weingarten right”) previously guaranteed only to union members, applies equally to at-will employees in nonunion firms. As a result, all employees now possess the right to ask that a coworker be present during an investigatory interview. While the Weingarten right is sensible in a union environment, significant policy and practical problems arise when this right is extended to the nonunion environment. This article first examines the evolution of the Weingarten right. Next, we discuss the applicability of this right to the nonunion sector. Finally, we summarize the debate over the propriety of applying the Weingarten right to the nonunion workforce. Employers today cannot afford to ignore the importance of conducting investigations into allegations of workplace wrongdoing. Failure to reasonably and competently investigate claims or suspicions of employee wrongdoing may have significant economic impacts on the firm. For employers to receive a heightened

<i>Listeria monocytogenes</i> infection of P388D <sub>1</sub> macrophages results in a biphasic NF-κB (RelA/p50) activation induced by lipoteichoic acid and bacterial phospholipases and mediated by IκBα and IκBβ degradation (1997)

As previously reported, Listeria monocytogenes infection of P388D1 macrophages results in a rapid induction of NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity. Here we show that this induction of NF-kappaB activity occurs in a biphasic mode: first, a transient, IkappaBalpha degradation-dependent phase of activity, also induced by the nonvirulent species Listeria innocua, which is mediated by binding of the bacteria to the macrophage, or by adding Listeria-derived lipoteichoic acid to the macrophage; the second persistent phase of activation is only markedly induced when the bacteria enter the cytoplasm of the host cell and express the virulence genes plcA and plcB, encoding two phospholipases. We suggest that products of the enzymatic activity of phospholipases directly interfere with host cell signal transduction pathways, thus leading to persistent NF-kappaB activation via persistent IkappaBbeta degradation.
Examining the role of lipid mediators in diabetic retinopathy (2012)

Diabetic retinopathy is the most disabling complication of diabetes, affecting 65% of patients after 10 years of the disease. Current treatment options for diabetic retinopathy are highly invasive and fall short of complete amelioration of the disease. Understanding the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy is critical to the development of more effective treatment options. Diabetic hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia are the main metabolic insults that affect retinal degeneration in diabetes. Although the role of hyperglycemia in inducing diabetic retinopathy has been studied in detail, much less attention has been paid to dyslipidemia. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated a strong association between dyslipidemia and development of diabetic retinopathy, highlighting the importance of understanding the exact changes in retinal lipid metabolism in diabetes. This review describes what is known on the role of dyslipidemia in the development of diabetic retinopathy, with a focus on retinal-specific lipid metabolism and its dysregulation in diabetes.
Optical polarizer/isolator based on a rectangular waveguide with helical grooves (2006)

A chirality-based approach to making a one-way waveguide that can be used as an optical isolator or a polarizer is described. The waveguide is rectangular, and chirality is introduced by making slanted rectangular grooves on the waveguide walls. Chirality of the waveguide manifests as a strong circular dichroism and is responsible for transmitting one circular polarization of light and reflecting the other. Optical isolation of the propagating circular polarization is accomplished when the chiral waveguide is placed in front of a nonchiral optical device. Even the crudest implementations of chirality are shown to exhibit significant circular dichroism.
Pharmacologic Opportunities for HIV Prevention (2010)

Innovations in antiretroviral (ARV) treatment strategies have resulted in treated HIV-infected patients having life expectancies similar to those of uninfected individuals. Yet the number of individuals capable of HIV transmission is increasing-for every person in whom ARV treatment is initiated, four others are becoming newly infected with HIV. The limited progress with microbicides and vaccines for HIV prevention reinforce the need for a concentrated exploration of the utility of ARVs. Preliminary animal studies with topical and systemic ARVs show promising results. However, current clinical trials were designed without a comprehensive understanding of ARV pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships in HIV prevention. This review focuses on current strategies for the prevention of HIV infection and on the ways in which the tools of pharmacology can be a valuable resource for determining pharmacodynamic targets, providing interspecies scaling of exposures, identifying the optimal drugs/drug combinations, doses, and dosing regimens, and designing efficient clinical trials.
How Does Batch Normalization Help Optimization? (2018)

Batch Normalization (BatchNorm) is a widely adopted technique that enables faster and more stable training of deep neural networks (DNNs). Despite its pervasiveness, the exact reasons for BatchNorm's effectiveness are still poorly understood. The popular belief is that this effectiveness stems from controlling the change of the layers' input distributions during training to reduce the so-called "internal covariate shift". In this work, we demonstrate that such distributional stability of layer inputs has little to do with the success of BatchNorm. Instead, we uncover a more fundamental impact of BatchNorm on the training process: it makes the optimization landscape significantly smoother. This smoothness induces a more predictive and stable behavior of the gradients, allowing for faster training.
Electric tuning of direct-indirect optical transitions in silicon (2014)

Electronic band structures in semiconductors are uniquely determined by the constituent elements of the lattice. For example, bulk silicon has an indirect bandgap and it prohibits efficient light emission. Here we report the electrical tuning of the direct/indirect band optical transition in an ultrathin silicon-on-insulator (SOI) gated metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) light-emitting diode. A special Si/SiO2 interface formed by high-temperature annealing that shows stronger valley coupling enables us to observe phononless direct optical transition. Furthermore, by controlling the gate field, its strength can be electrically tuned to 16 times that of the indirect transition, which is nearly 800 times larger than the weak direct transition in bulk silicon. These results will therefore assist the development of both complementary MOS (CMOS)-compatible silicon photonics and the emerging "valleytronics" based on the control of the valley degree of freedom.

Characterization of metal on elastomer vertical interconnections (2002)

A metal on elastomer vertical interconnection for multilayer microwave modules is presented. Measured insertion loss is 0.5 dB at 6 GHz. Layer to layer lateral misalignment of the substrates by as much as /spl plusmn/0.006 inch causes only a 0.1 dB degradation in performance. A two-tier design approach is presented for first analyzing the vertical strips as a uniform multiconductor transmission line and then for including the interactions of all discontinuities in a 3D simulation using the finite element method.
End-to-end Learning of Action Detection from Frame Glimpses in Videos (2015)

In this work we introduce a fully end-to-end approach for action detection in videos that learns to directly predict the temporal bounds of actions. Our intuition is that the process of detecting actions is naturally one of observation and refinement: observing moments in video, and refining hypotheses about when an action is occurring. Based on this insight, we formulate our model as a recurrent neural network-based agent that interacts with a video over time. The agent observes video frames and decides both where to look next and when to emit a prediction. Since backpropagation is not adequate in this non-differentiable setting, we use REINFORCE to learn the agent's decision policy. Our model achieves state-of-the-art results on the THUMOS'14 and ActivityNet datasets while observing only a fraction (2% or less) of the video frames.
Cloning and Functional Expression of a Novel Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase Expressed in Brain1 (1992)

Complementary DNA clones encoding a protein highly homologous to the previously characterized long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LACS) in liver were isolated from rat brain cDNA libraries. This protein consists of 697 amino acids and has 64.7% identity with the rat liver LACS sequence. The brain protein and the liver LACS share essentially the same domain structure, having two regions similar to those of click beetle luciferase and a long discrete gap flanking the similar domains. A significant sequence similarity was found between the brain protein and malaria octapeptide-repeat antigen, suggesting a functional similarity. COS cells transfected with the cDNA for the brain protein expressed LACS activity with slightly different fatty acid specificity from that of the liver LACS. This new LACS is expressed predominantly in brain and, to a much lesser extent, in heart and adrenal. The 2.9- and 6.3-kb mRNAs coding for the brain enzyme are coregulated with the development of brain, suggesting the physiological importance of the enzyme in fatty acid metabolism in brain.

A cluster algorithm for graphs (2000)

A cluster algorithm for graphs called the emph{Markov Cluster algorithm (MCL~algorithm) is introduced. The algorithm provides basically an interface to an algebraic process defined on stochastic matrices, called the MCL~process. The graphs may be both weighted (with nonnegative weight) and directed. Let~$G$~be such a graph. The MCL~algorithm simulates flow in $G$ by first identifying $G$ in a canonical way with a Markov graph $G_1$. Flow is then alternatingly expanded and contracted, leading to a row of Markov Graphs $G_{(i)$. Flow expansion corresponds with taking the~$k^{th$~power of a stochastic matrix, where~$kinN$. Flow contraction corresponds with a parametrized operator~$Gamma_r$, $rgeq 0$, which maps the set of (column) stochastic matrices onto itself. The image~$Gamma_r M$ is obtained by raising each entry in~$M$ to the~$r^{th$~power and rescaling each column to have sum~$1$ again. The heuristic underlying this approach is the expectation that flow between dense regions which are sparsely connected will evaporate. The invariant limits of the process are easily derived and in practice the process converges very fast to such a limit, the structure of which has a generic interpretation as an overlapping clustering of the graph~$G$. Overlap is limited to cases where the input graph has a symmetric structure inducing it. The contraction and expansion parameters of the MCL~process influence the granularity of the output. The algorithm is space and time efficient and lends itself to drastic scaling. This report describes the MCL~algorithm and process, convergence towards equilibrium states, interpretation of the states as clusterings, and implementation and scalability. The algorithm is introduced by first considering several related proposals towards graph clustering, of both combinatorial and probabilistic nature. Revised version of the report~[1]. A more mathematically oriented account on the MCL~process is given in~[2], establishing that under certain weak conditions the iterands of the MCL~process posses structure admitting a cluster interpretation. Various experiments conducted on a wide range of test-graphs are described in~[3]. The latter report also describes a generic graph clustering performance measure and a distance defined on the space of partitions.

Water-Soluble Oligomer Dimers Based on Paracyclophane:  A New Optical Platform for Fluorescent Sensor Applications (2002)

Water soluble paracyclophane chromophore dimers provide optical reporters that show little sensitivity to surfactants and thus are ideal for biosensor design. Strong intramolecular delocalization circumvents complications from intermolecular delocalization in spontaneously formed aggregates. The synthesis of 2 involves a novel TBAT deprotection/butane sultone ring-opening sequence, which should be general for the preparation of water-soluble conjugated oligomers and polymers.
Secure wireless powering and interrogation of an implantable microvalve (2011)

As the power is at a premium in a wireless powered microvalve, it necessitated the design and development of a contactless powering system specific to implant functionality. We present a custom design and development of the biotelemetry system for the implanted microvalve, using FEM modelling and experimental validation in the presence of numerical and physical human body phantoms, respectively. A comprehensive 3-dimensional FEM modelling and physical validation of an inductively coupled link comprising a 6×6×0.5 mm conformal spiral implanted antenna and a 8×5×0.2 cm spiral transmitter antenna is demonstrated. In addition to the investigation of the quality factor and inductance of individual coils, an analysis of the received relative signal response of the implanted antenna is presented.

We designed and implemented a pervasive game called Swan Boat that targets the bland and tedious nature of running on a treadmill, making it fun through social interaction and immersive game play. We developed Swan Boat on top of PSD, a platform for pervasive games, and using the Interactive Treadmill hardware. We conducted a user study to evaluate our game.
A 2.4Gbps-4.8Gbps XDR-DRAM I/O (XIO) Link (2009)

This paper focuses on the design of a 2.4 Gbps to 4.8 Gbps link developed in TSMC65nmG+ technology, for the high speed and high throughput interface between XDRtrade (Extreme data rate) DRAM and ASIC. Applications such as HDTV and high end graphics require high bandwidth interface between controllers and memory. This XDR I/O (XIO) link which is integrated in the controller, interfaces with the XDRtrade DRAM and provides the very high per pin bandwidth. To maintain a constant transmit swing the link supports automatic calibration for the on-die termination (ODT) and driver circuit bias. The channel timing between, ASIC pin to XDR-DRAM pin, is calibrated for all the individual pins to de-skew any channel electrical timing differences to align the data transfer during Memory Read and Writes. This calibration is done periodically to maintain constant timing margin throughout the operation. The self biased regulated PLL dual loop architecture based on is used which minimizes the clock jitter and enables high speed operation. A novel programmable Voltage Control Oscillator is used here to work at wide range of frequencies. The cell with 8 bit wide data bus and 16 bit wide command bus, consumes 520 mW at 4.0 Gbps.
Growth of PbTiO 3 films by photo-MOCVD (1991)

PbTiO<sub>3</sub> films having a perovskite structure have been successfully grown on sapphire, MgO, and Si substrates by the photo-MOCVD technique using tetraethyl lead, titanium tetraisopropoxide, oxygen, and nitrogen dioxide. When O<sub>2</sub> was used as an oxidizing gas, polycrystalline perovskite PbTiO<sub>3</sub> films were grown at substrate temperatures higher than 600 degree(s)C. UV light irradiation affected the growth rate and crystalline structure. Only when films were grown using the photo-MOCVD method, highly (111) oriented PbTiO<sub>3</sub> films were obtained on (0001) sapphire at 600 degree(s)C. When NO<sub>2</sub> was used, perovskite PbTiO<sub>3</sub> films were grown at a substrate temperature of 530 degree(s)C using the photo- MOCVD method. The use of NO<sub>2</sub> in the photo-MOCVD process significantly reduced growth temperature due to its wide absorption wavelength. The electrical properties of films were also measured. The step coverage of films obtained using the photo-MOCVD method was fairly good.
Formation and structure of epitaxial ruthenium silicides on (111)Si (1990)

Epitaxial ruthenium silicides have been successfully grown on silicon for the first time. Chemical electroless plating of a Ru thin film on silicon with subsequent annealing is a new approach and also the first demonstration of epitaxial growth of these silicides. Transmission electron microscopy was applied to characterize phases of silicides, microstructure, and orientation relationships. Three different epitaxial phases were found and identified to be Ru2Si3, RuSi, and Ru2Si. RuSi and Ru2Si are two new phases discovered in comparison with those previously reported in thin film reactions. Furthermore, Ru2Si3 was found to be a stable phase at elevated temperatures since it can be transformed from Ru2Si and RuSi by sufficiently long annealing. Various diffraction patterns were analyzed and orientation relationships were determined. Moire’s fringes of RuSi and interfacial dislocations of Ru2Si3 and Ru2Si were found. The average spacings were measured to be from 1000 to 4000 Å for Ru2Si3/Si. The composition of the silicides was measured by scanning Auger electron spectroscopy and 2% phosphorus was found.
Human, Porcine and Bovine Ultralente Insulin: Subcutaneous Administration in Normal Man (1986)

Six normal subjects received subcutaneous human, porcine, and bovine ultralente insulin (0.30 U/kg) and diluent (control) in randomized order. Plasma glucose, C-peptide, and insulin were measured for 32 h after injection. From 10 h onward human ultralente produced significantly lower plasma glucose levels (p less than 0.05-0.01) compared to bovine ultralente. Porcine ultralente produced an intermediate hypoglycaemic response up to 16 h and was similar to the bovine insulin from 24-32 h. Estimated exogenous insulin concentration was higher (p less than 0.05-0.001) following human ultralente compared to bovine ultralente between 2 and 22 h after injection. Up to 24 h the porcine preparation led to intermediate insulin levels, but becoming identical to bovine ultralente from 28-32 h. Peak mean exogenous insulin values for human, porcine, and bovine ultralente were 0.054, 0.044, and 0.023 nmol/l at 14, 16, and 18 h, respectively, reaching 0.022, 0.013, and 0.013 nmol/l at 32 h. The different pharmacokinetic behaviour of human and bovine ultralente insulin must be considered when initiating treatment with human ultralente or transferring patients from bovine to human ultralente.
