Ammonia Injection: A Route to Clean Stacks (1974)

Previously reported results of laboratory research have demonstrated essentially complete removal of sulfur dioxide from mixed gases by ammonia injection; the simulated stack gas contained 4200 ppm of the contaminant which is equivalent to combustion of coal containing 6.0% sulfur. Continuation of this work using gases from a small coal-fired combustor confirms earlier findings for removal of sulfur dioxide to less than 100 ppm and shows that ammonia can be regenerated on a continuous basis for re-use with minimal loss. Product sulfur-bearing salts and remaining ash are removed effectively from the gas in a wet scrubber, apparently assisted by the process of nucleation. The ammonia-injection process could provide effective control of sulfur dioxide from coal-burning power plants.
Gelation of Solvate Ionic Liquid by Self-Assembly of Block Copolymer and Characterization as Polymer Electrolyte (2014)

We report a new class of polymer electrolytes that exhibit high Li+-ionic conductivity and thermal stability up to 200 °C. The polymer electrolyte consists of a solvate ionic liquid ([Li(G4)][TFSA]), comprising an equimolar mixture of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (Li[TFSA]) and tetraglyme (G4), and a well-defined ABA-triblock copolymer, polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-polystyrene (PSt-b-PMMA-b-PSt, SMS). The electrolyte is formed by the self-assembly of SMS, where the solvatophobic PSt segments serves as physical cross-linking points, and the solvatophilic PMMA segment with preferentially dissolved [Li(G4)][TFSA] forms ion-conduction paths. In the electrolyte, the preservation of the complex cation [Li(G4)]+ in the PMMA phase was demonstrated by pulsed-field gradient spin–echo (PGSE) NMR, Raman spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. Because of the preservation of [Li(G4)]+, which hinders the direct interaction of Li+ with the polymer segment and the coupling of the ionic transport from the segmental motion, the room temperature ionic conductivity of the electrolyte reached an appreciable level (10–4–10–3 S cm–1).
Adaptive steering control for uncertain vehicle dynamics with crosswind effects and steering angle constraints (2008)

Automatic steering control has a direct impact on satisfaction of various vehicle performance requirements including obstacle avoidance, lane tracking accuracy, and passenger comfort. The presence of unknown vehicle dynamics in steering applications requires a robust control design potentially reducing the unexpected effects of uncertain driving conditions and minimizing vehicle path deviations in case particularly strong lateral forces are experienced. Among the issues which remain to be addressed are possible design conflicts between steering angle limitations and vehicle stability. We present an adaptive steering controller for uncertain vehicle dynamics subject to input constraints without compromising system safety under changing road conditions and crosswind effects. The proposed yaw rate control strategy is shown to yield improvements in the steering performance despite the uncertain vehicle mass and velocity in addition to unknown road adhesion factor. Several maneuvering scenarios are simulated to verify the effectiveness of our control design approach.
Dual polarised microstrip patch antenna using feedforward isolation enhancement for simultaneous transmit/receive applications (1999)

This paper presents a method for increasing the isolation between transmit and receive ports of a dual polarised microstrip patch antenna in order to enhance its performance in single frequency simultaneous transmit/receive applications. A feedforward circuit signal cancellation scheme is demonstrated which is shown to improve the dual polarised antenna port isolation performance to be better than -60 dB while leaving the antenna radiation pattern largely unaltered when compared to a uncompensated (i.e. conventional) dual port microstrip patch antenna with -35 dB port isolation. Experimental results for a prototype system operating at 1 GHz are presented.
Electric vehicle simulator to determine motor and battery specifications (2009)

The determination of the motor and battery specification is one of the major challenges in the electric vehicle designs, specially considering the different kinds of requirements and specifications in different designs. This paper discusses about a method of simulating a vehicle in given terrains and driver models for extracting the torque, power and battery usage; and hence get the most optimized set of parameters for the given design requirement. The simulation takes the driver as a fuzzy model and the overall vehicle as a non-linear model for calculating the motor and battery requirements according to the terrain, driver commands and traffic condition.
Polymerization of furfuryl alcohol with trifluoroacetic acid: the influence of experimental conditions (1992)

Abstract Furfuryl alcohol was polymerized by trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride to give a colored polymer. This polymer possesses two main sequences in which the furan rings are connected by methylene groups (sequence 1 ) or by dimethylene ether groups (sequence 2 ). The polymer is not linear but highly branched, as detected by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. Variations of the experimental conditions, such as the presence of air, the trifluoroacetic acid concentration, the reaction temperature and the solvent, do not allow a significant increase in the linear structure of the polymer. However, an increase in the acid concentration or an increase in temperature produce a decrease in the ether‐bridged structure (sequences 2 ).

Extending relational database technology for new applications (1994)

Relational database systems have been very successful in meeting the needs of today's commercial applications. However, emerging applications in disciplines such as engineering design are now generating new requirements for database functionality and performance. This paper describes a set of extensions to relational database technology, designed to meet the requirements of the new generation of applications. These extensions include a rich and extensible type subsystem that is tightly integrated into the Structured Query Language (SQL), a rules subsystem to enforce global database semantics, and a variety of performance enhancements. Many of the extensions described here have been prototyped at the IBM Database Technology Institute and in research projects at the IBM Almaden Research Center in order to demonstrate their feasibility and to validate their design. Furthermore, many of these extensions are now under consideration as part of the evolving American National Standards Institute/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/ISO) standard for the SQL database language.
Induction of the mammalian stress response gene <i>GADD153</i> by oxidative stress: role of AP-1 element (1996)

GADD153 is a CCAAT/enhancer-binding-protein-related gene that may function to control cellular growth in response to stress signals. In this study, a variety of oxidant treatments were shown to stimulate endogenous GADD153 mRNA expression and to transcriptionally activate a GADD153 promoter-reporter gene construct in transfected HeLa cells. Both commonalities and distinctions in the induction of GADD153 by H2O2 and the thiol-reactive compound arsenite were demonstrated. GADD153 mRNA induction by both H2O2 and arsenite was potentiated by GSH depletion, and completely inhibited by N-acetyl-cysteine. o-Phenanthroline and mannitol blocked GADD153 induction by H2O2, indicating that iron-generated hydroxyl radical mediates this induction. Concordantly, GSH peroxidase overexpression in WI38 cells attenuated GADD153 mRNA induction by H2O2. However, GADD153 induction by arsenite was only modestly reduced in the same cells, suggesting a lesser contribution of peroxides to gene activation by arsenite. We also demonstrated that oxidative stress participates in the induction of GADD153 by UVC (254 nm) irradiation. Finally, both promoter-deletion analysis and point mutation of the AP-1 site in an otherwise intact promoter support a significant role for AP-1 in transcriptional activation of GADD153 by UVC or oxidant treatment. Indeed, exposure of cells to oxidants or UVC stimulated binding of Fos and Jun to the GADD153 AP-1 element. Together, these results demonstrate that both free-radical generation and thiol modification can transcriptionally activate GADD153, and that AP-1 is critical to oxidative regulation of this gene. This study further supports a role for the GADD153 gene product in the cellular response to oxidant injury.
A multinanodot floating-gate mosfet circuit for spiking neuron models (2003)

Spiking neuron models, which represent information in the form of spatiotemporal patterns in spike pulse trains, have attracted much attention recently in the fields of computational neuroscience and artificial neural networks. The information processing abilities of spiking neuron models have been proven superior to those of the conventional analog-type (rate-coding) neural network models. In particular, the spike response model (SRM), which simplifies the biological neuron operation from the viewpoint of spike response, is important for VLSI implementation and various applications. In the SRM, the generation of post-synaptic potentials (PSPs) is essential. The conventional CMOS devices require complicated circuits in order to realize the function of SRM neurons. In this paper, a new device structure using a MOSFET with multinanodot floating-gate arrays is proposed for the synapse component of SRM neurons. This structure can operate at room temperature, as it utilizes thermal-noise-assisted tunneling between nanodots. The structure generates PSPs by taking advantage of the delay in electron movement due to stochastic tunneling processes. The results of single-electron circuit simulation demonstrate the generation of PSPs. The proposed structure has not yet been fabricated. The aim of this paper is to propose guidelines for the development of new nanoscale devices and fabrication technology for intelligent information processing such as that achieved in the human brain.
Mesial Temporal Sclerosis and Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: MR Imaging Deformation-based Segmentation of the Hippocampus in Five Patients (2000)

In five patients with mesial temporal sclerosis, the authors verified the precision and reproducibility of hippocampal segmentations with deformation-based magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The overall percentage overlap between automated segmentations was 92.8% (SD, 3.5%), between manual segmentations was 73.1% (SD, 9.5%), and between automated and manual segmentations was 74.8% (SD, 10.3%). Deformation-based hippocampal segmentations provided a precise method of hippocampal volume measurement in this patient population.
Review Clinical applications of electrical impedance tomography (1993)

This article is a preliminary review of the possible clinical applications of electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The applications to, for example, the central nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive systems are covered. It is concluded that the area of greatest potential application of EIT is monitoring cardiopulmonary function, but that studies on much larger groups of patients than have been carried out hitherto are required to fully assess the potential of EIT as a clinical tool.

Synthesis and study of low-bandgap polymers containing the diazapentalene and diketopyrrolopyrrole chromophores for potential use in solar cells and near-infrared photodetectors (2012)

The two pairs of structurally related donor–acceptor polymers (P1–P4) derived from diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and diazapentalene (DAP) building blocks were synthesized and compared for their optical and photovoltaic properties with potential applications in solar cells and near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors. Having the electron-rich fluorene and bis(2′-thienyl)pyrrole (TPT) units as donors, the synthesized donor–acceptor polymers have band gap levels in the range 1.22–1.79 eV. The solar cells based on the blend of P2 (DPP–TPT polymer) and PC71BM exhibited the best performance, showing a Voc of 0.61 V, Jsc of 10.38 mA cm−2, FF of 0.44 and PCE of 2.8%. The photodetector based on the NIR-absorbing P4 (DAP–TPT polymer) displayed a good photovoltaic response over a wide spectral range of 400–1100 nm and an EQE of 13% and detectivity of 2.3 × 1010 Jones at 800 nm.
Bandwidth of Invisible Cloak Realized with Split Ring Resonators (2008)

Recently, an uniaxial multilayer cylinder cloak which does not scatter electromagnetic wave was proposed. The purpose of this paper is to analyze such a cloak and to characterize the achieved "invisibility" in mathematical terms by calculating the scattered field and equivalent blockage width - the structure width that is actually "perceived" by EM waves. For that purpose we have developed the GIDMULT algorithm for analyzing uniaxial multilayer structures of planar, circular-cylindrical and spherical shape. The results show that the analyzed metamaterial realization reduces the scattered field and is suitable only for excitation by a TM-polarized wave. Furthermore, due to the dispersion it works only in a narrow frequency band. It seems that analyzed structure is inferior to already known realizations of invisibility, e.g. by hard surfaces that can work for arbitrary polarization within larger frequency bandwidth, although suitable for only one direction of incoming wave.
Specific inhibition of long-lasting, L-type calcium channels by synthetic parathyroid hormone. (1990)

The effect of an active synthetic N-terminal fragment of bovine parathyroid hormone (bPTH), bPTH-(1-34), on Ca2+ channels was studied in mouse neuroblastoma cells (N1E-115). With the whole-cell variation of the patch-clamp technique, T (transient) and L (long-lasting) types of Ca2+ currents were identified. Pharmacological characterization showed that the L current was amplified by the Ca2+ channel stimulator BAY K-8644, but the T current was unaffected. The administration of bPTH-(1-34) produced dose-related inhibition of the L current, which could be reversed by BAY K-8644. The peptide had no effect on the T current. In addition, use of the fluorescent indicator fura-2 showed that bPTH-(1-34) inhibited the KCl-stimulated increase in intracellular free Ca2+ in neuroblastoma cells with L channels but not in cells with T channels. An inactivated (oxidized) preparation of bPTH-(1-34) failed to affect the L current. High-affinity binding of labeled PTH analog to these neuroblastoma cells was also demonstrated. In addition, bPTH-(1-34) inhibited the L current in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells from rat tail artery. These data indicate that, in some tissues, PTH can act as an endogenous blocker of Ca2+ entry.
Damage-free vibrational spectroscopy of biological materials in the electron microscope (2016)

Abstract Vibrational spectroscopy in the electron microscope would be transformative in the study of biological samples, provided that radiation damage could be prevented. However, electron beams typically create high-energy excitations that severely accelerate sample degradation. Here this major difficulty is overcome using an ‘aloof’ electron beam, positioned tens of nanometres away from the sample: high-energy excitations are suppressed, while vibrational modes of energies <1 eV can be ‘safely’ investigated. To demonstrate the potential of aloof spectroscopy, we record electron energy loss spectra from biogenic guanine crystals in their native state, resolving their characteristic C–H, N–H and C=O vibrational signatures with no observable radiation damage. The technique opens up the possibility of non-damaging compositional analyses of organic functional groups, including non-crystalline biological materials, at a spatial resolution of ∼10 nm, simultaneously combined with imaging in the electron microscope.
Regular integrated array of stripe injection lasers (1981)

It was found experimentally that narrow stripe lasers separated by sufficiently small distances and sharing the same active layer in a single crystal emitted in phase when the pump current was within a certain range. The output radiation was then characterized by a narrow angular distribution close to the diffraction limit.
Modeling access networks for quality of service (2002)

We present a tool for predicting the quality of service (QoS) of access networks that support voice and data services. The input traffic is composed of multiple connections with packets based on real traffic for both voice and Internet data. The simulator allows interleaving of voice (packet) and Internet data connections and predicts reliable results for packet loss, delay and jitter. These results can be easily recomputed for different bandwidths, memory sizes, and number of parallel connections. A configuration with multiple mobile units (computers) that home on a base station would be ideal for using this tool to predict capacity requirements per quality of service needs. This paper describes the simulation tool and provides performance results for different configurations of the traffic scenarios.
Thermal Transitions and Reaction Kinetics of Polyhederal Silsesquioxane containing Phenylethynylphthalimides (2010)

Thermal transitions and reaction kinetics of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with phenylethynylphthalimide (PEPI) moieties were investigated. Specifically, this study was designed to probe the influence of the POSS peripheries, types of spacer group in between the PEPI and the SiO1.5 core, the architecture of the PEPI arrangement with respect to the SiO1.5 core, and the number of PEPI groups per cage on the thermal transitions and the cross-linking reaction of phenylethynyl. PEPI−POSS compounds with isobutyl peripheries exhibited lower melting temperatures as compared to those with phenyl periphery, consequently these isobutyl PEPI−POSS derivatives have a higher phenylethynyl reaction rate, although the onset of reaction temperature was not significantly affected. Changing the spacer group from propyl to phenyl causes an increase in the melting transition temperature along with a higher heat of fusion at melting; however, the more rigid phenyl spacer enables the PEPI−POSS to form a higher degree of crystallinity upon cooling. The more rigid phenyl spacer also initiates the polyene reactions at lower temperatures. For POSS with PEPI attached to either side of the cage, there are two isomers with respect to the SiO1.5 core. This mixture of two isomers inhibits the formation of crystallinity as compared with the “pendent” derivative where both PEPI groups come off from the same corner of POSS cage. Finally, it was found that these PEPI−POSS molecules have reaction kinetics and onset temperatures on par with organic hexafluorophenylethynyl oligoimides, which make these PEPI−POSS molecules excellent candidates as nanocomposite additives in high performance composite applications.
Physical and electrical characterization of silsesquioxane-based ultra-low k dielectric films (2002)

Physical and electrical characterization of a Dow Corning silsesquioxane-based ultra-low k dielectric is presented. The film properties, such as refractive index, SiH bond density, thermal stability and susceptibility to moisture absorption are investigated as a function of processing conditions. It is shown that exposure of the films to plasma environments results in a change of porosity. A low-K dielectric film with a pore size around 3.5 nm is successfully integrated in 0.2 /spl mu/m single damascene structures.
RET Recognition of GDNF-GFRα1 Ligand by a Composite Binding Site Promotes Membrane-Proximal Self-Association (2014)

The RET receptor tyrosine kinase is essential to vertebrate development and implicated in multiple human diseases. RET binds a cell surface bipartite ligand comprising a GDNF family ligand and a GFRα coreceptor, resulting in RET transmembrane signaling. We present a hybrid structural model, derived from electron microscopy (EM) and low-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data, of the RET extracellular domain (RET(ECD)), GDNF, and GFRα1 ternary complex, defining the basis for ligand recognition. RET(ECD) envelopes the dimeric ligand complex through a composite binding site comprising four discrete contact sites. The GFRα1-mediated contacts are crucial, particularly close to the invariant RET calcium-binding site, whereas few direct contacts are made by GDNF, explaining how distinct ligand/coreceptor pairs are accommodated. The RET(ECD) cysteine-rich domain (CRD) contacts both ligand components and makes homotypic membrane-proximal interactions occluding three different antibody epitopes. Coupling of these CRD-mediated interactions suggests models for ligand-induced RET activation and ligand-independent oncogenic deregulation.

Cyclin Y Is a Novel Conserved Cyclin Essential for Development in Drosophila (2010)

The Drosophila gene CG14939 encodes a member of a highly conserved family of cyclins, the Y-type cyclins, which have not been functionally characterized in any organism. Here we report the generation and phenotypic characterization of a null mutant of CG14939, which we rename Cyclin Y (CycY). We show that the null mutant, CycY(E8), is homozygous lethal with most mutant animals arresting during pupal development. The mutant exhibits delayed larval growth and major developmental defects during metamorphosis, including impaired gas bubble translocation, head eversion, leg elongation, and adult tissue growth. Heat-shock-induced expression of CycY at different times during development resulted in variable levels of rescue, the timing of which suggests a key function for zygotic CycY during the transition from third instar larvae to prepupae. CycY also plays an essential role during embryogenesis since zygotic null embryos from null mothers fail to hatch into first instar larvae. We provide evidence that the CycY protein (CycY) interacts with Eip63E, a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) for which no cyclin partner had previously been identified. Like CycY, the Eip63E gene has essential functions during embryogenesis, larval development, and metamorphosis. Our data suggest that CycY/Eip63E form a cyclin/Cdk complex that is essential for several developmental processes.
