Mid-Infrared Electro-Optical Modulation Using Monolithically Integrated Titanium Dioxide on Lithium Niobate Optical Waveguides (2019)

Tunable photonic circuits were demonstrated in the mid-Infrared (mid-IR) regime using integrated TiO<sub>2</sub>-on-LiNbO<sub>3</sub> (ToL) waveguides. The upper waveguide ridge was made by a sputtered TiO<sub>2</sub> thin film with broad transparency at λ = 0.4-8 µm and an optimized refractive index n = 2.39. The waveguide substrate is a z-cut single crystalline LiNbO<sub>3</sub> (LN) wafer that has strong Pockels effect, thus enabling the tunability of the device through electro-optical (E-O) modulation. A sharp waveguide mode was obtained at λ = 2.5 µm without scattering or mode distortion found. The measured E-O coefficient γ<sub>eff</sub> was 5.9 pm/V approaching γ<sub>31</sub> of 8.6 pm/V of LN. The ToL waveguide showed a hybrid mode profile where its optical field can be modified by adjusting the TiO<sub>2</sub> ridge height. Our monolithically integrated ToL modulator is an efficient and small footprint optical switch critical for the development of reconfigurable photonic chips.
Ku-band MMIC upconverter for mobile satellite communications (2002)

A complete Ku-band MMIC (monolithic microwave IC) upconverter is developed for use in a high-volume commercial two-way mobile satellite communication system. Both FET and diode mixer topologies were explored. An output power of 20 dBm is achieved for the diode mixer topology, and 19 dBm is achieved for the FET mixer topology. Both achieved LO (local oscillator) rejection >25 dB and 2IF+LO rejection >20 dB. This single chip replaces 80 discrete components. The area occupied by the upconverter function has been reduced from 4700 mm/sup 2/ to 7.6 mm/sup 2/.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Demineralized Bone Matrix (1993)

A study was conducted to determine the ability of demineralized bone matrix gel to act as an osteoconductive/osteoinductive material to enhance canine spinal fusion. Seven dogs underwent posterior spinal fusion. Four-level fusions were performed with one of four procedures at each level: decortication alone, with gel added, with autograft, or with both gel and autograft. Dogs were killed at 6 weeks and early histologic response was studied. At untreated control sites, little bone formation was evident. Gel-filled sites showed abundant osteoid, with 60% of demineralized particles fused to or surrounded by new bone. Sites filled with autograft had more new bone, but there was more osteoid at gel-treated sites. Autograft augmented with gel showed the most vigorous response, with extensive bridging between demineralized particles, host bone, autograft, and new bone. Significantly less autograft was needed to induce a similar amount of new bone formation when gel was added. Use of the gel as an autograft extender may improve the chance for successful spinal fusion.
Wrinkled Membranes and Cable-Stayed Bridges (1999)

In seeking an efficient arrangement for the bearing cables of a cable-stayed bridge, inspiration is drawn from the natural wrinkling behavior of in-plane stressed triangular membranes. The bridge deck is thought of as being sustained by such a membrane, rather than stays, and the wrinkle pattern is studied as vertical loads act on the deck. Since it can be shown that the resulting wrinkles are straight and develop in such a way as to offer maximum stiffness towards impinging actions, the idea is to place cables according to their layout. The examined cases consider various ratios between the height of the towers and the main span of the bridge, reproducing as well the scheme of significant existing bridges and the possible presence of notches in the membrane. In all the cases, the patterns assumed by the wrinkles show evident resemblance to the traditional harp, half-fan, and fan schemes, and reveal surprising similarities with the disposal of the stays really adopted in existing bridges.
Crosstalk reduction for interconnect-limited bus based on raised cosine signaling (2001)

Presents a new signaling scheme designed for today's aggressive process interconnect scaling aimed at reducing cross-talk noise. The scheme uses band-limited basis waveforms or raised cosine approximation (RCA) pulses to minimize the crosstalk noise due to higher frequency components. Simplified interconnect modeling shows that this technique is particularly beneficial for high-density local and global interconnects. Simulation results predict a reduction of approximately 18 dB of sideband noise power at 3 times the fundamental frequency (3f/sub 0/).

Efficient Expression System of Human Recombinant Laminin-5 (2002)

Laminin-5, a heterotrimer of laminin alpha3, beta3, and gamma2 chains, is an essential component of various epithelial basement membranes, and it strongly promotes cellular adhesion and motility in vitro. In this study, we established an efficient expression system of human recombinant laminin-5 (rLN5), in which full-length cDNAs encoding the human laminin alpha3, beta3, and gamma2 chains were introduced into the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293. rLN5 was purified from the conditioned medium of the HEK293 transfectant (LN5-HEK) by immuno-affinity chromatography in a yield of 1 mg protein/liter, about 10 times higher than that of a natural LN5 from human gastric cancer cells. rLN5 was indistinguishable from the natural LN5 in its protein composition and biological activity. In addition, analysis of HEK293 transfectants expressing two exogenous LN5 subunits showed that the alpha3/gamma2 chains and the beta3/gamma2 chains, but not the alpha3/beta3 chains, were secreted as heterodimers, suggesting an important role of the gamma2 chain in the association of the three LN5 subunits. The expression system of rLN5 can be used as an important tool to understand the biological functions of this laminin and may be applicable to future regenerative medicine.
Superlattice Ordering of Mn, Ni, and Co in Layered Alkali Transition Metal Oxides with P2, P3, and O3 Structures (2000)

Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 adopts a layered structure (P2) where the Ni and Mn cations form an ordered arrangement with a √3a × √3a superlattice. The ordered superlattice is preserved in T2-structure Li2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 prepared from the Na-containing parent phase by ion exchange. In attempts to improve the electrochemical properties of Li2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2, we have investigated the effect of Co substitution for Ni in the parent phase. Using X-ray and neutron diffraction, it is shown that increasing amounts of Co first weaken and then suppress the superlattice ordering in the transition metal layers. For x ≤ 1/12 in Na2/3[CoxNi1/3-xMn2/3]O2 the superlattice persists, but for x ≥ 1/6 the superlattice is not observed. During ion exchange to make lithium-containing materials, only samples with well-developed superlattices result in crystalline products; otherwise, a stacking-faulted O2-type structure is obtained. The ordering of transition metals in transition metal layers was also found in P3−Na2/3[Ni1/3Mn2/3]O2 and O3−Li2/3[Ni1/3Mn2/3]O2, but not in O3−Na[Ni1/2Mn1/2]O2. The necessary conditions for superlattice ordering of transition metal atoms in the transition metal layers are discussed.

Diet, Obesity, and Hyperglycemia in LG/J and SM/J Mice (2003)

Obesity-related phenotypes, as well as response to increased dietary fat, differ genetically between LG/J and SM/J and can, therefore, be mapped. This study indicates that the cross of SM/J and LG/J mice would be an excellent model system for the study of gene-by-diet interaction in obesity.
Development of sensitive methods for the detection of myobacteria by DNA probes (1990)

A sensitive method allowing the detection of mycobacteria by DNA probing has been developed. Besides the choice of a relevant probe encoding for part of the ribosomal RNA genes, the critical step allowing this high sensitivity was the method by which mycobacteria were lysed. Sonication of mycobacteria in the presence of chloroform followed by dot blot by this lysate gave the highest sensitivity in the detection of sequences homologous to the DNA probes.
Scientific Opinion on the essential composition of infant and follow-on formulae (2014)

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the essential composition of infant and follow-on formula. This opinion reviews the opinion provided by the Scientific Committee on Food in 2003 on the essential requirements of infant and follow-on formulae in light of more recent evidence and by considering the Panel’s opinion of October 2013 on nutrient requirements and dietary intakes of infants and young children in the European Union. The minimum content of a nutrient in formula proposed in this opinion is derived from the intake levels the Panel had considered adequate for the majority of infants in the first six months of life in its previous opinion and an average amount of formula consumed during this period. From a nutritional point of view, the minimum contents of nutrients in infant and follow-on formula proposed by the Panel cover the nutritional needs of virtually all healthy infants born at term and there is no need to exceed these amounts in formulae, as nutrients which are not used or stored have to be excreted and this may put a burden on the infant’s metabolism. Therefore, the Panel emphasises that maximum amounts should be interpreted not as target values but rather as upper limits of a range which should not be exceeded.
SUMO modification regulates the transcriptional activity of XBP1 (2010)

The UPR (unfolded protein response), a cellular defence mechanism against misfolded protein accumulation in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum), is associated with many human diseases such as aging, cancer and diabetes. XBP1 (X-box-binding protein 1), a key transcription factor of the UPR, is critical in maintaining ER homoeostasis. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which XBP1 transcriptional activity is regulated remains unexplored. In the present study we show that XBP1s, the active spliced form of XBP1 protein, is SUMOylated, mainly by PIAS2 [protein inhibitor of activated STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) 2] at two lysine residues located in the C-terminal transactivation domain. Ablation of these SUMOylation events significantly enhances the transcriptional activity of XBP1s towards UPR target genes. Thus our results reveal an unexpected role for SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) in the regulation of UPR activation and ER homeostasis.

Effects of a Novel Class III Antiarrhythmic Agent, NIP-142, on Canine Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter (2002)

The effects of a new benzopyran derivative, NIP-142, on atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFL) and on electrophysiological variables were studied in the dog. NIP-142 (3mg/kg) was administered intravenously to pentobarbital-anesthetized beagles during vagally-induced AF and during AFL induced after placement of an intercaval crush. Isolated canine atrial tissues were studied using standard microelectrode technique. NIP-142 terminated AF in 5 of 6 dogs after an increase in fibrillation cycle length (CL) and prevented reinitiation of AF in all 6 dogs. NIP-142 terminated AFL in all 6 dogs without any appreciable change in flutter CL, and prevented reinitiation of AFL in all 6 dogs. NIP-142 prolonged atrial effective refractory periods (11+/-5%, 3+/-3%, 12+/-3%, and 10+/-5% from the baseline value at basic CLs of 150, 200, 300, and 350ms, respectively) without changes in intraatrial conduction time. The prolongation of the atrial effective refractory period was greater in the presence of vagal stimulation. NIP-142 decreased action potential phase-1 notch and increased phase-2 plateau height without making any changes in the action potential duration, although it did reverse carbachol-induced shortening of the action potential duration. In conclusion, NIP-142 is effective in treating AFL and vagally-induced AF by prolonging atrial refractoriness.
Educação bancária: uma questão filosófica de aprendizagem (2011)

O processo de aprendizagem acontece se um professor, ou alguma outra pessoa fornecer informação básica aos estudantes que lhes dê material que possa ser usado por eles para construção da aprendizagem. Aprendizagem é possível por meio de aquisição de algo novo, e mesmo que os alunos tenham que descobrir algo, professores devem ensiná-los, o que não caracteriza uma filosofia da educação opressora.

Above-IC integration of capacitive pressure sensor fabricated with CMOS interconnect processes (2007)

A surface-micromachined capacitive pressure sensor fabricated with a standard CMOS back-end of line processes was integrated above a CMOS LSI with a sensor front end circuit, and the output signal was obtained via the integrated circuit. The sensor was fabricated using only low-temperature processes and conventional materials and equipment. The sensor measures capacitance and electrical output of the C-V converter integrated on the same substrate with no degradation in signal quality. The sensor was placed above the IC region and sub-half-micron CMOS processes were applied to the IC, so the effective chip size is smaller than 2 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . Basic reliability of the sensor was examined. A passivation layer thicker than 150 nm is necessary for suppressing sensitivity change below 1% for the pressure cooker test (120 deg, 100% relative humidity for 100 hr). Our process enables MEMS integrated on any generation CMOS-LSI, enhancing functionality of the sensor chip and minimizing chip size.

Eliminating inductive noise of external chip interconnections (1994)

On-chip balanced drivers can essentially eliminate inductive noise, without any power dissipation penalty, and independently of the number of chip drivers switching simultaneously or the switching speed. In addition, balanced interconnections on PWBs and MCMs substantially reduce crosstalk, increase noise immunity, and eliminate ground noise.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Regulation of apolipoprotein E gene expression after injury of the rat sciatic nerve (1990)

The expression of apolipoprotein E (apo E) is dramatically increased following peripheral nerve injury. This increased expression has been postulated to be negatively influenced by unknown mechanisms during subsequent axonal regeneration (Muller et al.: Science 228:499-501, 1985). The present study investigates the role of the regenerating axon in regulating apo E gene expression in two experimental paradigms which permit or prevent axonal regeneration in the adult rat sciatic nerve--the crush or permanent transection injuries. The nerves in these two models undergo axonal degeneration, demyelination, and Schwann cell proliferation; however, subsequent axonal regeneration and remyelination occur only in the distal segment of the crush-injured and not in the permanently transected nerve. The steady-state levels of apo E mRNA in both models increase sharply between 1 and 4 days and reach a maximum level at 12-14 days, which did not change significantly between 14 and 35 days after injury. No significant difference is observed in the steady-state levels of apo E mRNA between the crushed and permanently transected nerves as a function of time after injury. The steady-state protein level of apo E in the endoneurial segments initially increases, peaks at 14-21 days, and then decreases between 35 and 60 days after injury in both models. In contrast, the rate of newly translated and secreted apo E significantly increases by fourfold (P less than 0.005) between 35 and 60 days after permanent transection whereas it does not significantly differ at these times after crush injury. The increased rate of translation and secretion of apo E after transection compared to the constant rate observed after crush injury, together with the comparable steady-state levels of apo E mRNA and protein in both models, suggests translational or post-translational control, but not transcriptional and/or posttranscriptional control, by the regenerating axons. Furthermore, the increasing rate of biosynthesis and secretion of apo E after permanent transection concomitant with the decreasing steady-state levels of the protein suggests that apo E is either removed from the endoneurium or subsequently utilized or degraded by mechanisms that are independent from nerve regeneration.
Ground-Based Velocity Track Display (GBVTD) Analysis of W-Band Doppler Radar Data in a Tornado near Stockton, Kansas, on 15 May 1999 (2007)

Abstract On 15 May 1999, a storm intercept team from the University of Oklahoma collected high-resolution, W-band Doppler radar data in a tornado near Stockton, Kansas. Thirty-five sector scans were obtained over a period of approximately 10 min, capturing the tornado life cycle from just after tornadogenesis to the decay stage. A low-reflectivity “eye”—whose diameter fluctuated during the period of observation—was present in the reflectivity scans. A ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD) analysis of the W-band Doppler radar data of the Stockton tornado was conducted; results and interpretations are presented and discussed. It was found from the analysis that the axisymmetric component of the azimuthal wind profile of the tornado was suggestive of a Burgers–Rott vortex during the most intense phase of the life cycle of the tornado. The temporal evolution of the axisymmetric components of azimuthal and radial wind, as well as the wavenumber-1, -2, and -3 angular harmonics of the azimuthal wind, are also presented. A quasi-stationary wavenumber-2 feature of the azimuthal wind was analyzed from 25 of the 35 scans. It is shown, via simulated radar data collection in an idealized Burgers–Rott vortex, that this wavenumber-2 feature may be caused by the translational distortion of the vortex during the radar scans. From the GBVTD analysis, it can be seen that the maximum azimuthally averaged azimuthal wind speed increased while the radius of maximum wind (RMW) decreased slightly during the intensification phase of the Stockton tornado. In addition, the maximum azimuthally averaged azimuthal wind speed, the RMW, and the circulation about the vortex center all decreased simultaneously as the tornado decayed.
