A monopodal sireniform monster with dermatoglyphic and cytogenetic studies. (1966)

The earliest known description of a human sireniform foetus, quoted by Kampmeier (1927) dates back to the first century A.D. Many of the early reports were highly imaginative essays like that of Thomas Bartholin whose paper includes illustrations of a 'sirene natans' complete with mammae and webbed fingers and a picture of the monster actually swimming in the sea (Bartholin, i654).Such imaginative descriptions will have been influenced by mythical beliefs in sirens and mermaids.The Greek sirens were singing bird-women who lured sailors to their death, as described by Homer (I945 :c.Iooo B.C.) in the Odyssey and interpreted in terms of classical religious mythology by Robert Graves (I955).TIhe mermaid or water-nymph type of siren of nautical tradition originates in the mediaeval folk lore of many countries.Baring-Gould (I875) holds that they derive from early sun or moon deities of the Celtic peoples.There are several forms of mermaid legend but nearly all involve a love relationship between a mermaid or merman and a mortal, and they have inspired much fine art and literature.2I2
IEEE 802.21 Mobility Services Framework Design (MSFD) (2009)

This document describes a mobility services framework design (MSFD)
for the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol that
addresses identified issues associated with the transport of MIH
messages. The document also describes mechanisms for mobility service
(MoS) discovery and transport layer mechanisms for the reliable
delivery of MIH messages. This document does not provide mechanisms
for securing the communication between a mobile node (MN) and the
mobility service (MoS). Instead, it is assumed that either lower layer
(e.g., link layer) security mechanisms, or overall system-specific
proprietary security solutions, are used.

Wind power integration into electricity networks in Greece (2005)

Following the introduction of the new energy laws 2244/94 and 2773/99 which provide incentives to attract private investments in the renewable energy sources (RES) sector, a large amount of interest for such investments has been experienced in Greece. This paper presents the situation concerning wind energy exploitation, and analyses the technical problems induced by the increased penetration of wind power into the electrical grids. The paper also presents technical solutions proposed by Public Power Corporation to increase wind energy capacity in the southern tip of the island of Evia, rich in wind energy potential.
Human recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha infusion mimics endotoxemia in awake sheep (1989)

The macrophage-derived cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) has been proposed as the major mediator of endotoxin-induced injury. To examine whether a single infusion of human recombinant TNF alpha (rTNF alpha) reproduces the pulmonary effects of endotoxemia, we infused rTNF alpha (0.01 mg/kg) over 30 min into six chronically instrumented awake sheep and assessed the ensuing changes in hemodynamics, lung lymph flow and protein concentration, and number of peripheral blood and lung lymph leukocytes. In addition, levels of thromboxane B2, 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha, prostaglandin E2, and leukotriene B4 were measured in lung lymph. Pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) peaked within 15 min of the start of rTNF alpha infusion [base-line Ppa = 22.0 +/- 1.5 (SE) cmH2O; after 15 min of rTNF alpha infusion, Ppa = 54.2 +/- 5.4] and then fell toward base line. The pulmonary hypertension was accompanied by hypoxemia and peripheral blood and lung lymph leukopenia, both of which persisted throughout the 4 h of study. These changes were followed by an increase in protein-rich lung lymph flow (base-line lymph protein clearance = 1.8 +/- 0.4 cmH2O; 3 h after rTNF alpha infusion, clearance = 5.6 +/- 1.2), consistent with an increase in pulmonary microvascular permeability. Cardiac output and left atrial pressure did not change significantly throughout the experiment. Light-microscopic examination of lung tissue at autopsy revealed congestion, neutrophil sequestration, and patchy interstitial edema. We conclude that rTNF alpha induces a response in awake sheep remarkable similar to that of endotoxemia. Because endotoxin is a known stimulant of TNF alpha production, TNF alpha may mediate endotoxin-induced lung injury.
Analysis of Polychlonnated Biphenyls in Fatty Biological Matrixes by On-Line Supercritical Fluid Extraction and Supercritical Fluid Cleanup (1995)

We present a method that combines the extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their separation from relatively large quantities of fat in biological matrixes by combined supercritical fluid extraction and separation. Cyano-functionalized silica gel, silica gel, aluminum oxide, Florisil, 3-amino-propyl-functionalized silica gel, and octadecyl-functionalized silica gel were tested for suitability as chromatographic media for separation of PCBs from lipids. Silica gel, 3-aminopropyl-functionalized silica gel, and Florisil adequately separated PCBs from lipids when eluted with supercritical CO2. Florisil allowed both the extraction of PCBs and their separation from lipids in PCB-spiked chicken egg and fish. Two grams of sample containing PCBs at 0.125 microgram/g was sufficient for subsequent separations and the low-level analysis required for the more toxic PCB components.
Herbal Remedies in the United States: Potential Adverse Interactions With Anticancer Agents (2004)

It is suggested that health care professionals and consumers should be aware of the potential for adverse interactions with these herbs, question their patients on their use of them, especially among patients whose disease is not responding to treatments as expected, and urge patients to avoid herbs that could confound their cancer care.
Distortions of thickness shear mode shapes in plano-convex quartz resonators with mass perturbations (1990)

A perturbation technique for calculating the change in mode shape in a plano-convex thickness shear resonator blank due to off-center mass perturbations is developed. The perturbed shape is built as a linear combination of the familiar unperturbed modes and their anharmonics. The change in the location of the average center of the mode is calculated for different contours and different mass perturbation shapes and thicknesses. The results are used to predict changes in the acceleration sensitivity of two-point mounted 10-MHz, third SC-cut resonators when patches of metal film are deposited on the major surfaces off-center. These theoretical results are compared with published experimental results.
APPLIED ASPECTS OF BIOELECTROCHEMISTRY - FUEL-CELLS, SENSORS, AND BIOORGANIC SYNTHESIS (1982)

Perfection of the interaction between redox proteins or intact microorganisms and electrodes will permit the construction of three classes of device: (1) low-temperature biofuel cells efficiently generating electricity from fuels and wastes; (2) a new generation of specific sensors based on direct electrode interactions rather than secondary detection of products or substrates of biological reactions; (3) bioelectrodes for electrochemical synthesis, where reducing equivalents, in the form of electrons are supplied directly to enzyme catalysts. This article reviews the authors' contribution to these fields and describes new work on the methanol dehydrogenase fuel cell. 8 figures, 3 tables.
SPATIAL v. TIME-SERIES DATA FOR ASSESSING RESPONSE RISK (1977)

A small case study of published data on response of dryland wheat to nitrogen fertilizer reveals that replication over space apparently substitutes rather poorly for replication over time, in estimating variance of yield conditional on level of fertilizer.
PD-sparse: a primal and dual sparse approach to extreme multiclass and multilabel classification (2016)

We consider Multiclass and Multilabel classification with extremely large number of classes, of which only few are labeled to each instance. In such setting, standard methods that have training, prediction cost linear to the number of classes become intractable. State-of-the-art methods thus aim to reduce the complexity by exploiting correlation between labels under assumption that the similarity between labels can be captured by structures such as low-rank matrix or balanced tree. However, as the diversity of labels increases in the feature space, structural assumption can be easily violated, which leads to degrade in the testing performance. In this work, we show that a margin-maximizing loss with l1 penalty, in case of Extreme Classification, yields extremely sparse solution both in primal and in dual without sacrificing the expressive power of predictor. We thus propose a Fully-Corrective Block-Coordinate Frank-Wolfe (FC-BCFW) algorithm that exploits both primal and dual sparsity to achieve a complexity sublinear to the number of primal and dual variables. A bi-stochastic search method is proposed to further improve the efficiency. In our experiments on both Multiclass and Multilabel problems, the proposed method achieves significant higher accuracy than existing approaches of Extreme Classification with very competitive training and prediction time.
Enabling greener DSL access networks by their stabilization with artificial noise and SNR margin (2012)

Low-power modes (LPM) are a standardized means in asymmetric digital subscriber lines (ADSL) 2 for reducing the power consumption at the central office. However, the activation of LPMs is hampered by the operators’ concern for instability introduced by frequent transmit power changes. The injection of artificial noise (AN) has been proposed as a standard-compliant stabilization technique. We develop an analytical solution for setting the AN power spectrum. Based on this solution we jointly optimize the AN power spectrum and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) margin. Simulation results show the performance gain in terms of rate and energy compared to heuristic rules for setting the AN power spectrum. We propose and demonstrate three approaches for evaluating the performance of AN-enabled DSL systems, including (a) joint spectrum balancing, AN, and margin optimization, (b) single-user worst-case-stable optimization, and (c) worst-case-stable optimization based on sequential initialization. Simulation results confirm a strong dependency of the performance under AN on the selected SNR margins, and highlight the total AN power consumption as well as the residual energy savings under low-power modes stabilized by AN.
A Stackable, 6-Cell, Li-Ion, Battery Management IC for Electric Vehicles With 13, 12-bit $\Sigma\Delta$ ADCs, Cell Balancing, and Direct-Connect Current-Mode Communications (2014)

Battery monitoring systems are a critical aspect of electric vehicles. To interface with the high voltages in these systems a stacked IC approach is used. In this work we present an IC suitable for monitoring 6 cells which can be stacked to monitor a total of 192 cells. The IC has 13 parallel ΣΔ ADCs (12 bit, 5 mV accuracy, better than 1.5 mV matching) to measure individual cell voltages, cell temperature and battery current. Gate drivers with programmable frequency (5 kHz-2.048 MHz), duty cycle and dither for active and passive cell balancing is provided. On-chip 3.3 V and 5.2 V LDOs power the various subsystems. To eliminate external components, the ICs uses current-mode signaling which allows the IC to be directly connected to one another to transmit information about cells from the top of the stack to the host. The IC consumes less than 15 μA of quiescent current.

Nitrogen Fixation in the Phyllosphere of Tropical Plants: Occurrence of Phyllosphere Nitrogen-Fixing Micro-organisms in Eastern India and their Utility for the Growth and Nitrogen Nutrition of Host Plants (1981)

Of the 560 leaf samples belonging to 259 species of green plants examined more than 50 per cent of the Angiosperms and 25 per cent of the Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms revealed the presence of N2-fixing micro-organisms in their phyllosphere. Plants particularly remarkable in this respect are orchids and several other epiphytes, Scindapsus officinalis, Ficus and cucurbits. Most of the isolates appear to be biotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The more active strains fixed more than 5 mg N g−1 glucose utilized and reduced more than 100 nmol C2H2 mg−1 cell d. w h−1. The efficacy of the phyllosphere N2-fixing isolates for N-nutrition of host plants was studied by spraying suspensions of the cultures grown on N-free media on rice and wheat seedlings. In IR-26 rice or Sonalika and Janak wheat grown on soil in wooden flats or earthenware pots, 22 per cent of the 161 cultures studied caused increased height and about three-quarters of the cultures enhanced dry weight by more than 50 per cent; chlorophyll and N-contents were enhanced more than 50 per cent by about half and two-thirds of the cultures respectively. In N-free sand culture 26 of the 50 promising strains doubled N-content, and 30 doubled dry weight of the tested plants. In some cases dry weight, number of grains per panicle, and 1000 grain weight were increased by 300, 70–83 and 126–158 per cent respectively; N-content of straw and seed was increased three- or fourfold. In several cases the beneficial effects were found to match closely the performance of plants receiving ammonium sulphate.
Surface Passivation of In<sub>0.52</sub>Al<sub>0.48</sub>As Using (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>S<sub>x</sub>and P<sub>2</sub>S<sub>5</sub>/(NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>S (1994)

(NH 4 ) 2 S x and P 2 S 5 /(NH 4 ) 2 S treatments were applied on In 0.52 Al 0.48 As surfaces. From X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, residual sulful atoms on the surface were found to form In–S, Al–S, and As–S bonds. The performance of Schottky diodes was improved by (NH 4 ) 2 S x and P 2 S 5 /(NH 4 ) 2 S treatments in terms of the reverse leakage current and barrier height. In addition, the advantage of using P 2 S 5 /(NH 4 ) 2 S was revealed compared with (NH 4 ) 2 S x .
Crystal structure of a depsipeptide, Boc–(Leu–Leu–Lac)3–Leu–Leu–OEt (2001)

A sequential polydepsipeptide, Boc–(Leu–Leu–Lac)3–Leu–Leu–OEt (1) (Lac = L-lactic acid residue) has been synthesized by the segment condensation method. The sequential unit of 1, –Leu–Leu–Lac–, is consisted of two amino acid residues and one hydroxy acid residue. X-ray diffraction measurement with an imaging plate detector and a direct-methods procedure of Shake-and-Bake successfully revealed the crystal structure of 1. In the solid state, the 11-mer depsipeptide, 1, have clear α-helical conformation even with the three ester linkages. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopolymers 58: 636–642, 2001
Application of non-conventional materials in construction (2011)

There has been growing interest in the use of non-conventional materials in the construction industry, and their introduction has presented both opportunities and challenges to researchers and engineers worldwide. This paper gives a brief overview of new and emerging materials in construction. The background to their introduction is introduced and discussed within the context of sustainable construction, with the significance of sustainable material selection highlighted. Attention is specifically drawn to the importance of considering both the cost and environmental implications when any new material is introduced into construction. The main barriers to application of new materials within the construction industry are discussed in detail with reference to the development of an advanced composite bridge decking system. Based on this, a successful model for conversion from academic excellence to commercial viability is suggested.

Ferroelectricity of as-deposited HZO fabricated by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition at 300 °C by inserting TiO2 interlayers (2021)

We report the observation of ferroelectricity in hafnium-zirconium-oxide thin films in the as-deposited state, namely, after deposition at a low temperature of 300 °C without post-metallization annealing. The Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) thin film was interposed between two TiO2 interlayers, and all films were produced by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition and integrated into a TiN-based metal-insulator-metal capacitor. The ferroelectric nature of the as-deposited HZO film was evaluated by a polarization-voltage hysteresis loop, and a 2Pr value of ∼7.4 μC/cm2 was achieved. Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction measurements and atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy characterization revealed the co-existence of fully crystallized polar orthorhombic and monoclinic phases of the dielectric in the as-deposited sample. We concluded that the nucleation and growth of the crystalline polar non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic phases in the 10 nm HZO thin film were prompted by the available energy from the plasma and the tensile lattice mismatch strain provided by the TiO2 interlayer.
High Strength Discontinuously Reinforced Aluminum For Rocket Applications (2003)

This study presents results on the development of a new aluminum alloy with very high strength and ductility. Five compositions of Al-Mg-Sc-Gd-Zr alloy were selected for this purpose. These alloys were also reinforced with 15 volume percent silicon-carbide and boron-carbide particles to produce Discontinuously Reinforced Aluminum (DRA) materials. Matrix alloys and DRA were processed using a powder metallurgy process. The helium gas atomization produced very fine powder with cellular-dentritic microstructure. The microstructure of matrix alloys showed fine Al3Sc based precipitate which provides significant strengthening in these alloys. DRA showed uniform distribution of reinforcement in aluminum matrix. DRA materials were tested at -320 F, 75 F in air and 7S F in gaseous hydrogen environments and matrix alloys were tested at 75 F in air. DRA showed high strengths in the range of 89-111 ksi (614-697 MPa) depending on alloy compositions and test environments. Matrix alloys had a good combination of strength, 84-89 ksi (579-621 MPa) and ductility, 4.5-6.5%. The properties of these materials can further be improved by proper control of processing parameters.
