Electronic Information Retrieval in Nursing (1995)

Electronic information networks are explored in terms of the political and economic impact of such concepts as the National Information Infrastructure. The relevancy of electronic information retrieval to nursing is discussed as it applies to current health-care information management. Electronic information sources applicable to nursing are described along with examples of how they may be utilized. Network functions, such as bulletin boards, Freenets and literature searches, are explained and the implications for evolution of health-care delivery are summarized.

Distributed file systems: focus on Andrew File System/Distributed File Service (AFS/DFS) (2002)

Currently, there is a move away from huge, monolithic mainframe computers to smaller, individual workstations. This move requires that data and programs be shared between individual users on the same computer as well as across machines on a local area network (LAN) or even on a wide area network (WAN). A popular distributed file system is Transarc's Andrew File System (AFS), the precursor of the Open Software Foundation's (OSF) Distributed File Service (DFS), part of OSF's Distributed Computing Environment. This paper compares AFS and DFS with other successful distributed file systems, discussing clients and file servers, data cache (cache consistency and authentication), file system topology, access rights, privileged programs, critical data, and authentication in long-running batch jobs.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Who's in Control of Your Control System? Device Fingerprinting for Cyber-Physical Systems (2016)

Industrial control system (ICS) networks used in critical infrastructures such as the power grid present a unique set of security challenges. The distributed networks are difficult to physically secure, legacy equipment can make cryptography and regular patches virtually impossible, and compromises can result in catastrophic physical damage. To address these concerns, this research proposes two device type fingerprinting methods designed to augment existing intrusion detection methods in the ICS environment. The first method measures data response processing times and takes advantage of the static and lowlatency nature of dedicated ICS networks to develop accurate fingerprints, while the second method uses the physical operation times to develop a unique signature for each device type. Additionally, the physical fingerprinting method is extended to develop a completely new class of fingerprint generation that requires neither prior access to the network nor an example target device. Fingerprint classification accuracy is evaluated using a combination of a real world five month dataset from a live power substation and controlled lab experiments. Finally, simple forgery attempts are launched against the methods to investigate their strength under attack.
Innovative Electrochemical Approach for an Early Detection of microRNAs (2009)

The recent findings of circulating cell-free tissue specific microRNAs in the systemic circulation and the potential of their use as specific markers of disease highlight the need to make microRNAs testing a routine part of medical care. At the present time, microRNAs are detected by long and laborious techniques such as Northern blot, RT-PCR, and microarrays. The originality of our work consists in performing microRNAs detection through an electrochemical genosensor using a label-free method. We were able to directly detect microRNAs without the need of PCR and a labeling reaction. The test is simple, very fast and ultrasensitive, with a detection limit of 0.1 pmol. Particularly feasible for a routine microRNAs detection in serum and other biological samples, our technical approach would be of great scientific value and become a common method for simple miRNAs routine detection in both clinical and research settings.
Bandwidth Enhancement of a Monopolar Patch Antenna With V-Shaped Slot for Car-to-Car and WLAN Communications (2015)

A monopolar patch antenna with a V-shaped slot for car-to-car (C2C) and wireless local area network (WLAN) communications is presented in this paper. To widen the impedance bandwidth of the antenna, techniques for adding a shorting pin and a V-shaped slot are applied to an equilateral triangular patch. By properly placing the shorting pins on an equilateral triangular patch, two operating modes, i.e., TM10 and TM20, are obtained. The presence of the V-shaped slot can generate an additional TM11 mode. These three resonances found in the operating frequency bandwidth resulted in a wideband characteristic. The proposed antenna can operate from 4.82 to 6.67 GHz for the reflection coefficient ≤ -10 dB with the gain of around 5.0 dBi. In addition, an omnidirectional radiation pattern is yielded by a coaxial center-fed probe excitation. The antenna has a thickness of 0.09λ <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">g</sub> (at the center frequency of 5.5 GHz), which is easily hidden on the roof of a vehicle for C2C communication. This proposed design can also be used as indoor base-station antennas for WLAN communication.
Multiplex SNP genotyping in pooled DNA samples by a four-colour microarray system (2002)

We selected 125 candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes belonging to the human type 1 interferon (IFN) gene family and the genes coding for proteins in the main type 1 IFN signalling pathway by screening databases and by in silico comparison of DNA sequences. Using quantitative analysis of pooled DNA samples by solid-phase mini-sequencing, we found that only 20% of the candidate SNPs were polymorphic in the Finnish and Swedish populations. To allow more effective validation of candidate SNPs, we developed a four-colour microarray-based mini-sequencing assay for multiplex, quantitative allele frequency determination in pooled DNA samples. We used cyclic mini-sequencing reactions with primers carrying 5'-tag sequences, followed by capture of the products on microarrays by hybridisation to complementary tag oligonucleotides. Standard curves prepared from mixtures of known amounts of SNP alleles demonstrate the applicability of the system to quantitative analysis, and showed that for about half of the tested SNPs the limit of detection for the minority allele was below 5%. The microarray-based genotyping system established here is universally applicable for genotyping and quantification of any SNP, and the validated system for SNPs in type 1 IFN-related genes should find many applications in genetic studies of this important immunoregulatory pathway.
Digital hearing aids: A brief history (2006)

The journey leading to the development of digital hearing aids began at Bell Laboratories in the mid 1960s when a digital computer was used to simulate an experimental high gain telephone with frequency shaping for people with hearing loss. The simulation was off-line at about 100 times real time. About 20 years later, a digital master hearing aid operating in real time was developed using a high speed array processor. The development of wearable digital hearing aids followed soon after as high speed digital signal processing (DSP) chips were developed. The first wearable digital hearing aid was a body worn instrument and was not a commercial success. At this stage, digitally controlled analog hearing aids could be made small enough to be worn on the ear and these instruments were widely used by the end of the decade. During the 1990s, low-power DSP chips were developed that were small enough to allow for all-digital ear-worn hearing aids to be developed. The challenge today is to tap the tremendous potential of digital signal processing techniques within the power and size constraints of a practical, wearable instrument.
BT's video on demand technology (1995)

1994 has seen much publicity for the “information superhighway”, or even the “global superhighway” or other combinations of similar highly technologically-sounding journalistic or political jargon. The reality is a far cry from the apparent claims, but none the less, it is an emerging area where large global players are starting to flex their muscles as the potential business could be very large, and the impact on society irreversible. The first major service on such a “super-highway” may well be video on demand, a term that often includes not only movies and past TV programmes but also transactional services such as shopping, banking, education, training and games, all fully on-demand, and all initially aimed squarely at the mass residential market, delivered over telecommunications networks. To that end, during 1994, BT ran a technology trial of video on demand in Suffolk for 60 employee customers and is now moving towards launching a market trial of various interactive multimedia services for perhaps 2500 paying customers in 1995. The paper looks at the major technical aspects of BT's implementation of video on demand.
Sparse Detection in the Chirplet Transform: Application to FMCW Radar Signals (2012)

This paper aims to detect and characterize a signal coming from frequency modulation continuous wave radars. The radar signals are made of piecewise linear frequency modulations. The maximum chirplet transform (MCT), a simplification of the chirplet transform is proposed. A detection of the relevant maximum chirplets is proposed based on iterative masking, an iterative detection followed by window subtraction that does not require the recomputation of the spectrum. This detection is designed to provide a sparse subset of maximum chirplet coefficients. The chirplets are then gathered into linear chirps whose starting time, length, and chirprate are estimated. These chirps are then gathered again back into the different frequency modulation continuous wave signals, ready to be classified. An illustration is provided on synthetic data.

A new architecture for packet processing engines is proposed, and its experimental results are reported. A new switch architecture with input queuing scalable up to terabit class capacity is also proposed, and a new scheduling algorithm which enables efficient distributed pipeline processing and fair bandwidth allocation is discussed. Finally, Fujitsu’s IP router product is introduced.

In the end several applications of AWG such as wavelength routers,optical adddrop multiplexer and optical crossconnect are addressed.
Large complete band gap in two-dimensional photonic crystals with elliptic air holes (1999)

It is shown that elliptic air holes can be used effectively as inclusions to obtain a large complete band gap for two-dimensional photonic crystals. An instructive procedure of how one quickly finds the optimal configuration which gives the maximum complete band gap is described.

Inhibition of microbial growth and metabolism by excess turbulence (1991)

Excess turbulence caused by high-intensity stirring inhibited microbial growth and metabolism. In stirred tank bioreactors, the growth rate and lysine biosynthesis decreased in Brevibacterium flavum beyond 900 rpm, the growth rate of Trichoderma reesei on wheat straw beyond 150 rpm, and the growth rate of Saccharomyces cerevisae beyond 800 rpm. The term turbohypobiosis was introduced to describe this inhibition. Turbohypobiosis was characterized by a stress factor F(str) expressing the interaction of medium flow with microbial cells in local turbulent zones, dependent on the energy distribution of the stirring regime. Lysine synthesis was inhibited at significantly lower F(str) values than the growth of B. flavum. The main reason for the inhibition was shear effects causing decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, lower O(2) uptake, and lower specific growth rate of bacteria.
High-fructose feeding of streptozotocin-diabetic rats is associated with increased cataract formation and increased oxidative stress in the kidney (2000)

We examined the effects of high-fructose (FR) feeding on the development of diabetic complications in the lens and the kidney of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male Wistar Furth rats were treated with one of two doses of STZ (HIGH STZ, 55 mg/kg body weight; MOD STZ, 35 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle alone (SHAM) and were then assigned to a control (CNTL) or 400 g FR/kg diet for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, body weight, plasma glucose and insulin concentrations differed among STZ groups (HIGH v. MOD v. SHAM, P < 0.001) but did not differ due to diet. Plasma FR concentrations were significantly higher in FR-fed v. CNTL-fed groups (P < 0.0001) and in HIGH-STZ groups v. MOD-STZ and SHAM groups (P < 0.0004 and P < 0.0001 respectively). Focal length variability of the lens, a quantitative measure of cataract formation, was increased in the HIGH STZ, FR group compared with the HIGH STZ, CNTL group (P < 0.01). The concentration of H2O2 in kidney microsomes was significantly higher in HIGH STZ, FR rats v. HIGH STZ, CNTL rats (P < 0.01). Micro-albuminuria was not observed in any of the groups examined, and there was no evidence of extensive histological damage in the kidney from any rats. Under conditions of severe hyperglycaemia, high FR intake promotes the development of cataracts in the lens of the eye, and results in increased concentrations of substances indicative of oxidative stress in the kidney. Although FR has been suggested as a carbohydrate source for diabetics, a high FR diet coupled with hyperglycaemia produces effects that may promote some of the complications associated with diabetes.
Large Unidirectional Magnetoresistance in a Magnetic Topological Insulator (2016)

We report current-direction dependent or unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR) in magnetic or nonmagnetic topological insulator (TI) heterostructures, Cr_{x}(Bi_{1-y}Sb_{y})_{2-x}Te_{3}/(Bi_{1-y}Sb_{y})_{2}Te_{3}, that is several orders of magnitude larger than in other reported systems. From the magnetic field and temperature dependence, the UMR is identified to originate from the asymmetric scattering of electrons by magnons. In particular, the large magnitude of UMR is an outcome of spin-momentum locking and a small Fermi wave number at the surface of TI. In fact, the UMR is maximized around the Dirac point with the minimal Fermi wave number.
Development of Highly Efficient Compressor Series Driven by IPM Motors (2000)

Due to the recent environmental concerns, the demand for highly efficient compressors with inverter speed control is escalating as well as those with HFC refrigerants. Accordingly, · we have developed highly efficient compressor series with inverter speed control. The series consists of five models with its_system capacity ranging from 2.2kW to 16kW. The Interior Permanent Magnet (hereinafter referred to as IPM) synchronous motors using rare-earth permanent magnets are adopted for all the compressors of this series. Swing compressors are adopted for small range from 2.2kW to 8kW and scroll compressor is adopted for large range up to 16kW. As a result, the efficiency improved by 17 to 32% in the low speed range and 12 to 18% in the high speed range. In conclusion, we were successful in developing highly efficient compressor series. All the models are designed for R410A, R407C and R22.
Photo‐crosslinkable cyanoacrylate bioadhesive: Shrinkage kinetics, dynamic mechanical properties, and biocompatibility of adhesives containing TMPTMA and POSS nanostructures as crosslinking agents (2011)

The study investigates the photo-polymerization shrinkage behavior, dynamic mechanical properties, and biocompatibility of cyanoacrylate bioadhesives containing POSS nanostructures and TMPTMA as crosslinking agents. Adhesives containing 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2-OCA) and different percentages of POSS nanostructures and TMPTMA as crosslinking agents were prepared. The 1-phenyl-1, 2-propanedione (PPD) was incorporated as photo-initiator into the adhesive in 1.5, 3, and 4 wt %. The shrinkage strain of the specimens was measured using bonded-disk technique. Shrinkage strain, shrinkage strain rate, maximum and time at maximum shrinkage strain rate were measured and compared. Mechanical properties of the adhesives were also studied using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Biocompatibility of the adhesives was examined by MTT method. The results showed that shrinkage strain increased with increasing the initiator concentration up to 3 wt % in POSS-containing and 1.5 wt % in TMPTMA-containing specimens and plateaued out at higher concentrations. By increasing the crosslinking agent, shrinkage strain, and shrinkage strain rate increased and the time at maximum shrinkage strain rate decreased. The study indicates that the incorporation of crosslinking agents into the cyanoacrylate adhesives resulted in improved mechanical properties. Preliminary MTT studies also revealed better biocompatibility profile for the adhesives containing crosslinking agents comparing to the neat specimens.
AsH3 gas-phase <i>ex situ</i> doping 3D silicon structures (2018)

Dopant incorporation in Si can be done in situ during epitaxial growth, or ex situ for localised material modification from a variety of sources including ion, solid, liquid, or gas. Gas-phase doping has the advantage that it does not require a thin film deposition, it is more effective at entering tight spaces than a liquid, and it is less damaging and more conformal than a beam-line ion implant. In this work, we apply arsine (AsH3) gas at approximately atmospheric pressures in order to n-type dope three-dimensional (3D) Si device structures. It was observed that the gas-phase doping can be either corrosive or gentle to thin-body Si depending on the process conditions. Initial doping processes caused damage to the Si due to etching, but after process optimisation, the structural integrity of the Si nanostructures could be maintained successfully. Moreover, it was noted that evaluating doping processes entirely on planar Si surfaces can be misleading: processes which appear promising initially may not be transferrable to non-planar thin-body structures like fins or nanowires, due to unwanted Si etching. Overall, we found that gas-phase doping with AsH3 could provide &gt;1020 cm−3 electrically active As concentrations. This high As incorporation makes gas-phase doping very attractive for future gate-all-around devices, where the space between features will decline with continued transistor scaling.
Structural and Functional Properties of Complement-activating Protein M161Ag, a Mycoplasma fermentans Gene Product That Induces Cytokine Production by Human Monocytes (1998)

Human malignant cells are targeted by homologous complement C3b if they express M161Ag, a 43-kDa protein with C3-activating property. cDNA of M161Ag cloned from human leukemia cell lines predicted M161Ag as a novel secretory protein comprised of 428 amino acids including 5 amino acids encoded by TGA codons (Matsumoto M., Takeda, J., Inoue, N., Hara, T., Hatanaka, M., Takahashi, K., Nagasawa, S., Akedo, H., and Seya, T. (1997) Nat. Med. 3, 1266-1270), although the origin of this gene was obscure. Here we clarified this point through genomic and biochemical analysis: 1) 5'-UT and genomic sequences represented the prokaryote promoter and ribosomal binding site; 2) the TGA codons in M161Ag cDNA were translated not into selenocysteines but into tryptophans; 3) M161Ag anchored onto the membrane secondary to its N-terminal palmitoylation like prokaryote lipoproteins; 4) genomic and cDNA clones of M161Ag were highly homologous to Mycoplasma fermentans gene encoding P48, a monocytic differentiation/activation factor, recently released in the data base, although the resultant proteins were different in the amino acid sequences. Additionally, purified soluble M161Ag efficiently provoked IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and IL-6 like P48, and further IL-10 and IL-12 in human peripheral blood monocytes. Thus, M161Ag originates from M. fermentans, and latently infected M. fermentans allows human cells to produce M161Ag. The liberated protein serves as a potent modulator of innate and cellular immune responses via its complement-activating and cytokine-producing activities.
