High-Density 3-D Capacitors for Power Systems On-Chip: Evaluation of a Technology Based on Silicon Submicrometer Pore Arrays Formed by Electrochemical Etching (2012)

This paper presents the state-of-the-art technologies currently used to produce high-density integrated capacitors for power systems on-chip applications. The use of high-k dielectrics and 3-D patterning of silicon for reaching high specific capacitance is reviewed. Integrating capacitors monolithically on the active chip or in package of power systems is discussed and solutions are proposed for minimizing series resistance and achieving a high level of integration. A technology based on nanolithography and silicon electrochemical etching is then detailed. It is shown that capacitance densities of up to 700 nF/mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> can be obtained with a submicrometer pores array in a relatively limited thickness. The advantages and disadvantages of further decreasing the pore size to nano-sized pores (below 100 nm) are discussed.
Quantitative Analysis of 16S rDNA Using Competitive PCR and the QPCR™ System 5000 (1997)

A method for precise and accurate quantification of 16S rDNA has been developed that uses competitive PCR and the QPCR System 5000. The method is based on co-amplification of 16S rDNA sequences, along with an internal standard sequence, using only one set of conserved eubacterial primers. Co-amplified PCR products are rapidly identified and quantified by measuring the electrochemiluminescent signals from specific oligonucleotide reporter probes that are directed against a hypervariable 16S rDNA sequence. Because in the exponential phase of amplification the different target sequences and the internal standard sequence are amplified with the same efficiency, unknown amounts of a target sequence in a sample can be inferred by extrapolating against a standard curve that is generated for the internal standard sequence. This method provides a rapid, nonradioactive and reliable way to simultaneously quantify different specific 16S rDNA targets that are present in low numbers, and may thus be suitable for enumeration of specific target microorganisms in environmental samples.
Free-viewpoint video synthesis from mixed resolution multi-view images and low resolution depth maps (2015)

Streaming application of multi-view and free-viewpoint video is potentially attractive but due to the limitation of bandwidth, transmitting all multi-view video in high resolution may not be feasible. Our goal is to propose a new streaming data format that can be adapted to the limited bandwidth and capable of free-viewpoint video streaming using multi-view video plus depth (MVD). Given a requested free-viewpoint, we use the two closest views and corresponding depth maps to perform free-viewpoint video synthesis. We propose a new data format that consists of all views and corresponding depth maps in a lowered resolution, and the two closest views to the requested viewpoint in the high resolution. When the requested viewpoint changes, the two closest viewpoints will change, but one or both of views are transmitted only in the low resolution during the delay time. Therefore, the resolution compensation is required. In this paper, we investigated several cases where one or both of the views are transmitted only in the low resolution. We proposed adequate view synthesis method for multi resolution multi-view video plus depth. Experimental results show that our framework achieves view synthesis quality close to high resolution multi-view video plus depth.
Growth of highly <i>c</i>-axis textured AlN films on Mo electrodes for film bulk acoustic wave resonators (2002)

Highly c-axis textured AlN films on Mo could be obtained using the structural modification of Mo thin films by the reactive rf magnetron sputtering at a low temperature. The correlation of structural properties of Mo and the degree of c-axis texturing in AlN films was studied as a function of sputtering pressure during the dc sputter deposition of Mo. The microstructure and residual stress of Mo films were found to be very dependent on the sputtering pressure. As the pressure decreases and the stress changes from tension to compression, the surface morphology and roughness of Mo films became gradually denser and smoother. It is found that the controlled smooth surface of Mo electrodes plays a key role in the growth of highly c-axis textured AlN films deposited onto them. A full width at half maximum of the x-ray rocking curve of the best AlN film on the surface-controlled Mo electrode was 2.30°. Film bulk acoustic wave resonators with an effective coupling coefficient of 5.6% could be achieved using the improved AlN films.
Toward cloud-based vehicular networks with efficient resource management (2013)

In the era of the Internet of Things, all components in intelligent transportation systems will be connected to improve transport safety, relieve traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, and enhance the comfort of driving. The vision of all vehicles connected poses a significant challenge to the collection and storage of large amounts of traffic-related data. In this article, we propose to integrate cloud computing into vehicular networks such that the vehicles can share computation resources, storage resources, and bandwidth resources. The proposed architecture includes a vehicular cloud, a roadside cloud, and a central cloud. Then we study cloud resource allocation and virtual machine migration for effective resource management in this cloud-based vehicular network. A game-theoretical approach is presented to optimally allocate cloud resources. Virtual machine migration due to vehicle mobility is solved based on a resource reservation scheme.
Active sound and vibration control using adaptive digital signal processing (1993)

Active sound and vibration control is a rapidly emerging technology that has application to a wide variety of problems in manufacturing. These include reducing the exposure of workers to undesired noise and vibration, improving the quality of the product being produced, and allowing increased production rates for various processes and operations. Although the basic idea is quite old, the concept has not been practical until recently due to the development of powerful, low-cost digital signal processing systems. In addition, a variety of new adaptive filter techniques has broadened the range of applications. Adaptive digital signal processing enables the desired model to be determined in an online fashion using a system identification framework. The residual sound or vibration may be used as an error signal in an adaptive filter structure such as the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm to determine adaptively the correct model.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
New Nickel(II) Diimine Complexes and the Control of Polyethylene Microstructure by Catalyst Design (2007)

Starting from differently substituted boronic acids as versatile building block, new "ortho-aryl" alpha-diimine ligands a-h were synthesized in an easy, high-yielding route. Reaction of the complex precursor diacetylacetonato-nickel(II) with a trityl salt, like [CPh3] [B(C6F5)4] or [CPh3] [SbCl6], in the presence of the diimine ligands afford the monocationic, square planar complexes 2a-g in almost quantitative yields. Suitable crystals (2d',e,f,g) were submitted for X-ray diffraction analysis. A geometry model was developed to describe the orientation of ligand fragments around the nickel(II) center that influence the polymer microstructure. At elevated reaction temperature and pressure, and in the presence of hydrogen, 2a-e catalyze the homopolymerization of ethylene to give branched PE products ranging from HD- to LLD-PE grades. The polymerization results indicate the possibility of precise microstructure control depending on the particular complex substitution. Preliminary investigations on material density and mechanical behavior by uniaxial stretching until failure point toward new material properties that can result from the simple ethylene monomer by catalyst design.

Evaluation of <i>Streptomyces coelicolor</i> A3(2) as a heterologous expression host for the cyanobacterial protein kinase C activator lyngbyatoxin A (2012)

Filamentous marine cyanobacteria are extremely rich sources of bioactive natural products and often employ highly unusual biosynthetic enzymes in their assembly. However, the current lack of techniques for stable DNA transfer into these filamentous organisms, combined with the absence of heterologous expression strategies for nonribosomal cyanobacterial gene clusters, prohibit the creation of mutant strains or the heterologous production of these cyanobacterial compounds in other bacteria. In this study, we evaluated the capability of a derivative of the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) to express enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the protein kinase C activator lyngbyatoxin A from a Hawaiian strain of Moorea producta (previously classified as Lyngbya majuscula). Despite large differences in GC content between these two bacteria and the presence of rare TTA/UUA leucine codons in lyngbyatoxin ORFs we were able to achieve expression of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase LtxB and reverse prenyltransferase LtxC in S. coelicolor M512 and confirmed the in vitro functionality of S. coelicolor overexpressed LtxC. Attempts to express the entire lyngbyatoxin A gene cluster in S. coelicolor M512 were not successful because of transcript termination observed for the ltxA gene, which encodes a large nonribosomal peptide synthetase. However, these attempts did show a detectable level of cyanobacterial promoter recognition in Streptomyces. Successful expression of lyngbyatoxin A proteins in Streptomyces provides a new platform for biochemical investigation of natural product enzymes from Moorea strains.

Reduction in Yield and Quality of Cotton Damaged by Green Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) (1990)

Damage to cotton by adult green stink bugs, Acrosternum hilare (Say), was evaluated in field cage studies. Adult green stink bugs significantly reduced harvestable cotton at levels of three bugs per plant in a 6-d exposure. Puncture number continued to increase with longer exposures, but losses in harvestable cotton plateaued at the longer exposures. In addition, lower seed germination rate and fiber maturity of lint harvested from cotton bolls previously exposed to stink bugs occurred. In 1987, the number of punctures was related to boll age, but boll age and amount of harvestable cotton from these bolls were not related. In 1986 boll shed tended to increase with increasing exposure time to green stink bugs, but this effect was not observed in 1987.
Feature-based surface design and machining (1992)

A feature-based method for designing and representing functional surfaces such as automobile inner panels that lets a user assemble and present complicated, multifeatured surfaces using known, generally simpler component surfaces and information about feature shape is reviewed. It is shown that, using this method, CAD users can generate numerically controlled (NC) tool paths and use them to automatically machine 3-D surface geometries with various cutting tools such as ball-nose or spherical-end cutters and toroidal or flat-end cutters. The method was tested on models involving simple explicit primary and secondary surfaces as well as more complicated B-spline parametric surfaces. Results indicate that the tool-center-generation algorithm is accurate, robust, and computationally efficient.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
3D deghosting using echo deblending: Synthetic and field data examples (2017)

Ghosts are interference events caused by the free-surface that impact the bandwidth and the resolution of the data negatively. Echo Deblending aims to remove the ghost events present in marine seismic data by separating the reflection events of interest, utilizing the realization that ghosts are produced by (virtual) secondary sources that have been generated by the free-surface. Primary and secondary source data are forward- and backward propagated using 3D wavefield extrapolation operators after which ghosts are separated by utilizing deblending techniques. In this paper, the application of 3D Echo-deblending is presented to synthetic data sets to verify and compare performance, as well as to a 3D field data set. Particular attention is paid to the implications of using sparse data in 3D wavefield extrapolation. It is demonstrated that, despite the fact that a successful 3D application only depends on the ability to extrapolate data over small vertical distances, the method still requires dense sampling, thereby relying on the ability to reconstruct missing data in the crossline direction.

The Effects of PEG on Second Antibody Immunoprecipitation and Its Use in Immunoassay (1993)

The effects of PEG on the second antibody immunoprecipitation have been studied in several radioimmunological systems. The following parameters have been studied in the assays: the average molecular weight and concentration of PEG, the species of the animal producing the first and second antibody, the nature of the antigen, the concentration of carrier immunoglobulins, and the rate of the immunoprecipitation. Thus, optimal conditions for the use of PEG with a second antibody have been defined in order to be used in any liquid phase immunoassay.
Neuron-Specific Enolase, S100B, and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Levels as Outcome Predictors in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (2011)

Early elevations (up to 3 days) of S100B and NSE secondary to severe TBI predict deterioration to brain death. However, this feature was more prominently associated with NSE than S100B.
Fluoroacrylate-Bound Fluorous-Phase Soluble Hydrogenation Catalysts (2000)

[reaction: see text] Fluoroacrylate polymer-bound hydrogenation catalysts are described. N-Acryloxysuccinimide-containing fluoroacrylate polymers were converted into phosphine ligands and subsequently into analogues of Wilkinson's catalyst by amidation of N-acryloxysuccinimide active ester residues and Rh exchange. The resulting catalysts have excellent activity and can be reused following fluorous biphasic liquid/liquid separation and extraction.
Change in Blood Pressure in the Age Interval 70-90. Late Blood Pressure Peak Related to Longer Survival (2002)

Low blood pressure at 70 and late SBP peak were related to longer survival after age 79.
Flow cytometric analysis of glucose transport by rat brain cells (1997)

The fluorescent, non-metabolizable glucose analog 6-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]-6-deoxyglucose (NBDG) was used to measure rates of hexose transport by dissociated brain cells from developing and adult rats. Flow cytometric analysis of glucose uptake and expression of glucose transporters was performed by mapping on size by granularity, which discriminated between neurons and astrocytes in a suspension of mixed brain cells. These mapped cell populations were identified by immunofluorescent staining with antisera to neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Specific uptake of the analog by membrane glucose transporters was confirmed by its inhibition by D-glucose and by cytochalasin B. Both neurons and astrocytes expressed the GLUT1 and GLUT3 transporter isoforms. This was confirmed by the additive inhibition of NBDG uptake by antibodies to these transporter isoforms in both cell types. The advantages of flow cytometric analysis of glucose transport include continuous monitoring over extremely short periods of time, increased precision of cell-by-cell flow cytometric measurements versus average uptake rates obtained with radioisotopes, and simultaneous analysis of uptake by different cell populations. Moreover, both uptake rates and the abundance of specific transporters can be determined directly and rapidly on the same cell suspension. Cytometry 27:262–268, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Isolation of an Fcgamma-binding protein from the cell membrane of a macrophage-like cell line (P388D1) after detergent solubilization. (1978)

Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination, NP-40 lysis, and subsequent affinity chromatography on IgG-Sepharose were used in an attempt to define some of the molecular properties of the Fc receptor of P388D1, a macrophage-like mouse tumor line. Radioiodinated material retained on columns of Sepharose coupled either to monomeric mouse IgG2a or monomeric human IgG1 appeared on SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to contain principally three labeled components, a major band of about 57,000 m.w. and two minor bands of 28,000 and 24,000 m.w. The mobilities of these components changed little on reduction, which suggested that they represented single polypeptide chains, An identical pattern was obtained with Sepharose-linked Fc fragments of human IgG1, but neither Fab fragments of IgG1 nor IgM appeared to bind these components. Since the specificity of binding to the immobilized proteins is the same as that observed in vivo, it is postulated that these proteins represent either all or some portion of the P388D1 Fc receptor.
Fast, efficient generation of high‐quality atomic charges. AM1‐BCC model: II. Parameterization and validation (2002)

We present the first global parameterization and validation of a novel charge model, called AM1-BCC, which quickly and efficiently generates high-quality atomic charges for computer simulations of organic molecules in polar media. The goal of the charge model is to produce atomic charges that emulate the HF/6-31G* electrostatic potential (ESP) of a molecule. Underlying electronic structure features, including formal charge and electron delocalization, are first captured by AM1 population charges; simple additive bond charge corrections (BCCs) are then applied to these AM1 atomic charges to produce the AM1-BCC charges. The parameterization of BCCs was carried out by fitting to the HF/6-31G* ESP of a training set of >2700 molecules. Most organic functional groups and their combinations were sampled, as well as an extensive variety of cyclic and fused bicyclic heteroaryl systems. The resulting BCC parameters allow the AM1-BCC charging scheme to handle virtually all types of organic compounds listed in The Merck Index and the NCI Database. Validation of the model was done through comparisons of hydrogen-bonded dimer energies and relative free energies of solvation using AM1-BCC charges in conjunction with the 1994 Cornell et al. forcefield for AMBER.(13) Homo- and hetero-dimer hydrogen-bond energies of a diverse set of organic molecules were reproduced to within 0.95 kcal/mol RMS deviation from the ab initio values, and for DNA dimers the energies were within 0.9 kcal/mol RMS deviation from ab initio values. The calculated relative free energies of solvation for a diverse set of monofunctional isosteres were reproduced to within 0.69 kcal/mol of experiment. In all these validation tests, AMBER with the AM1-BCC charge model maintained a correlation coefficient above 0.96. Thus, the parameters presented here for use with the AM1-BCC method present a fast, accurate, and robust alternative to HF/6-31G* ESP-fit charges for general use with the AMBER force field in computer simulations involving organic small molecules.
Automatic sanitization of social network data to prevent inference attacks (2011)

As the privacy concerns related to information release in social networks become a more mainstream concern, data owners will need to utilize a variety of privacy-preserving methods of examining this data. Here, we propose a method of data generalization that applies to social networks and present some initial findings for the utility/privacy tradeoff required for its use.
Ultrafast dynamics in nanostructured materials (2003)

Optical properties of silicon and indium phosphide nanoparticles with emission throughout the visible wavelength range are presented. The peak emission wavelength of these nanoparticles is controlled by the reaction time and by post-growth etching treatments. Ultrafast spectroscopy is used to determine the photoluminescence lifetime in order to correlate the spectral response with the structural and chemical characterization of these nanoparticles. The measured lifetimes are used to identify surfactant, surface, and core nanoparticle emission. The nanoparticles exhibit efficient emission that is quenched when embedded within particular polymeric matrices.
Visyllable Based Speech Animation (2003)

Abstract Visemes are visual counterpart of phonemes. Traditionally, the speech animation of 3D synthetic faces involvesextraction of visemes from input speech followed by the application of co‐articulation rules to generate realisticanimation. In this paper, we take a novel approach for speech animation — using visyllables, the visual counterpartof syllables. The approach results into a concatenative visyllable based speech animation system. The key contributionof this paper lies in two main areas. Firstly, we define a set of visyllable units for spoken English along withthe associated phonological rules for valid syllables. Based on these rules, we have implemented a syllabificationalgorithm that allows segmentation of a given phoneme stream into syllables and subsequently visyllables. Secondly,we have recorded the database of visyllables using a facial motion capture system. The recorded visyllableunits are post‐processed semi‐automatically to ensure continuity at the vowel boundaries of the visyllables. We defineeach visyllable in terms of the Facial Movement Parameters (FMP). The FMPs are obtained as a result of thestatistical analysis of the facial motion capture data. The FMPs allow a compact representation of the visyllables.Further, the FMPs also facilitate the formulation of rules for boundary matching and smoothing after concatenatingthe visyllables units. Ours is the first visyllable based speech animation system. The proposed technique iseasy to implement, effective for real‐time as well as non real‐time applications and results into realistic speechanimation.
