Efficient Light-Emitting Diodes Based on <i>in Situ</i> Fabricated FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> Nanocrystals: The Enhancing Role of the Ligand-Assisted Reprecipitation Process (2018)

In this paper, we reported the in situ fabrication of highly luminescent formamidinium lead bromide (FAPbBr<sub>3</sub>) nanocrystal thin films by dropping toluene as an anti-solvent during the spin-coating with a perovskite precursor solution using 3,3-diphenylpropylamine bromide (DPPA-Br) as a ligand. The resulting films are uniform and composed of 5-20 nm FAPbBr<sub>3</sub> perovskite nanocrystals. By monitoring the solvent mixing of anti-solvent and precursor solution on the substrates, we illustrated the difference between the ligand-assisted reprecipitation (LARP) process and the nanocrystal-pinning (NCP) process. This understanding provides a guideline for film optimization, and the optimized films obtained through the in situ LARP process exhibit strong photoluminescence emission at 528 nm, with quantum yields up to 78% and an average photoluminescence lifetime of 12.7 ns. In addition, an exciton binding energy of 57.5 meV was derived from the temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurement. More importantly, we achieved highly efficient pure green perovskite based light-emitting diode (PeLEDs) devices with an average external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 7.3% (maximum EQE is 16.3%) and an average current efficiency (CE) of 29.5 cd A<sup>-1</sup> (maximum CE is 66.3 cd A<sup>-1</sup>) by adapting a conventional device structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TFB/perovskite film/TPBi/LiF/Al. It is expected that the in situ LARP process provides an effective methodology for the improvement of the performance of PeLEDs.

Density and porosity of the lunar crust from gravity and topography (2012)

Newly obtained gravity and topography data of the Moon, combined with a lithospheric flexure model that considers both surface and subsurface loading, are used to place constraints on the density of the upper crust from a localized spectral admittance analysis. Subsurface loads are found to be relatively unimportant in the highlands, and when subsurface loads are neglected, the best fitting bulk densities for a number of highland regions are found to vary from 2590 to 2870 kg m −3 , with a mean value of 2691 kg m −3 . Crustal rock densities estimated from geochemical considerations and global iron and titanium abundances imply somewhat greater densities, which we interpret as porosity affecting the gravity‐derived bulk density estimates. The average porosity in the upper few kilometers of crust is calculated to be about 7.7%, which is consistent with porosity estimates of impact‐fractured meteorites and terrestrial impact craters.

Wavelets with composite dilations (2004)

A wavelet with composite dilations is a function generating an orthonormal basis or a Parseval frame for <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper L squared left-parenthesis double-struck upper R Superscript n Baseline right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>L</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>n</mml:mi> </mml:msup> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">L^2({\mathbb R}^n)</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> under the action of lattice translations and dilations by products of elements drawn from non-commuting matrix sets <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper A"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>A</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">A</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper B"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>B</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">B</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>.

Tear Evaporation Dynamics in Normal Subjects and Subjects with Obstructive Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (2003)

This new system was helpful in differentiating MGD patients from normal subjects. These significantly higher evaporation rates and higher flip heights reflect the unstable tear evaporation and may well indicate unstable tear film in patients with obstructive MGD with abnormal evaporative tear loss.
Relationship between the Photomechanical Response and the Thermomechanical Properties of Azobenzene Liquid Crystalline Polymer Networks (2010)

We report on the influence of cross-link density of azobenzene-containing liquid crystal polymer networks (azo-LCNs) on the thermomechanical properties and the laser-directed bending of cantilevers consisting of these materials. Cross-link density of azo-LCN was increased by adjusting the length of photocuring from 1 to 120 min. The storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E′′), and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the azo-LCNs increase with cross-link density. Increasing the cross-link density of the polydomain azo-LCN reduces the magnitude of the bending angle of the cantilevers. The relationship between the thermomechanical and photomechanical properties of the polydomain azo-LCN reported here is further elucidated in the examination of laser-directed bending over a wide range of temperature. The temperature dependence of the equilibrium photodriven bending angle is shown to be strongly related to the temperature dependence of the storage modulus for a given azo-LCN sample. Normalizing the temperature dependence of the photomechanical response of the azo-LCN cantilevers by the Tg provides a master curve that can be used to tailor the photomechanical response.
A synchronous coherent OFDM air interface concept for high data rate cellular systems (2002)

This paper continues the investigation of a new air interface concept for future OFDM-based cellular systems called synchronous coherent orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SC-OFDM). SC-OFDM is based on combination of synchronized cells, orthogonal pilot codes, and a cyclic extension which is large enough to absorb both delay spread and intercell propagation delay. The primary advantages of SC-OFDM are that it mitigates the effect of co-channel interference on desired signal channel estimates and facilitates the direct measurement of the channel response of individual co-channel interfering signals. These measurements provide channel state information and enable the use of interference-mitigating detection techniques such as MMSE diversity combining or joint-detection. The performance of an SC-OFDM downlink air interface is evaluated with computer simulations.
Improving Entity Linking by Modeling Latent Entity Type Information (2020)

Existing state of the art neural entity linking models employ attention-based bag-of-words context model and pre-trained entity embeddings bootstrapped from word embeddings to assess topic level context compatibility. However, the latent entity type information in the immediate context of the mention is neglected, which causes the models often link mentions to incorrect entities with incorrect type. To tackle this problem, we propose to inject latent entity type information into the entity embeddings based on pre-trained BERT. In addition, we integrate a BERT-based entity similarity score into the local context model of a state-of-the-art model to better capture latent entity type information. Our model significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art entity linking models on standard benchmark (AIDA-CoNLL). Detailed experiment analysis demonstrates that our model corrects most of the type errors produced by the direct baseline.
Do probabilistic forecasts lead to better decisions? (2013)

Abstract. The last decade has seen growing research in producing probabilistic hydro-meteorological forecasts and increasing their reliability. This followed the promise that, supplied with information about uncertainty, people would take better risk-based decisions. In recent years, therefore, research and operational developments have also started focusing attention on ways of communicating the probabilistic forecasts to decision-makers. Communicating probabilistic forecasts includes preparing tools and products for visualisation, but also requires understanding how decision-makers perceive and use uncertainty information in real time. At the EGU General Assembly 2012, we conducted a laboratory-style experiment in which several cases of flood forecasts and a choice of actions to take were presented as part of a game to participants, who acted as decision-makers. Answers were collected and analysed. In this paper, we present the results of this exercise and discuss if we indeed make better decisions on the basis of probabilistic forecasts.
Integrating pre-integration into the shear-warp algorithm (2003)

The shear-warp volume rendering algorithm is one of the fastest algorithms for volume rendering, but it achieves this rendering speed only by sacrificing interpolation between the slices of the volume data. Unfortunately, this restriction to bilinear interpolation within the slices severely compromises the resulting image quality. This paper presents the implementation of pre-integrated volume rendering in the shear-warp algorithm for parallel projection to overcome this drawback. A pre-integrated lookup table is used during compositing to perform a substantially improved interpolation between the voxels in two adjacent slices.We discuss the design and implementation of our extension of the shear-warp algorithm in detail. We also clarify the concept of opacity and color correction, and derive the required sampling rate of volume rendering with postclassification. Furthermore, the modified algorithm is compared to the traditional shear-warp rendering approach in terms of rendering speed and image quality.
Screening of Proteolytic Enzymes to Enhance Foaming of Whey Protein Isolates (1995)

ABSTRACT Whey protein isolate (WPI) was modified to enhance foaming characteristics by controlled hydrolysis using proteolytic enzymes. Alcalase, acid fungal protease, chymotrypsin, pepsin and trypsin were used to hydrolyze 5% rehydrated WPI. Decree of hydrolvsis was estimated by freezing point depression and terminated at 2.5 to 3% by heating or pH adjustment. Controls were treated under similar conditions but without enzymes. Hydrolysates were separated into permeate and retentate by ultrafiltration and concentrated by reverse osmosis before freeze drying. Foam capacity, stability and surface tension of hydrolysates were measured. Permeate from Alcalase exhibited the best foaming characteristics, comparable to egg white.
Incidence and Prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Northern California Managed Care Organization, 1996-2002 (2008)

The incidence we estimated for CD was similar to the previous U. S. estimate. Our incidence estimate for UC was much higher than the previous U.S. estimate, but similar to that of recent Canadian and European studies. The prevalence we estimated for CD was somewhat lower than previous estimates.
Interim safety and pharmacodynamic results for ALN-VSP02, a novel RNAi therapeutic for solid tumors with liver involvement. (2010)

3042 Background: Malignancies involving the liver represent a significant unmet medical need. ALN-VSP02 is a novel RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic comprised of lipid nanoparticle-formulated small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and kinesin spindle protein (KSP). Methods: A multicenter, open label, phase 1 dose escalation trial of ALN-VSP02 administered as a 15-minute iv infusion every two weeks was initiated in March 2009. Patients with advanced solid tumors are eligible if they have at least one measurable liver lesion and adequate liver function. The study uses a 3+3 design with 8 potential dose levels: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.7 mg/kg. The primary objective is evaluation of safety and tolerability. Secondary objectives include assessment of PK and pharmacodynamic (PD) activity through DCE-MRI, biomarkers of angiogenesis, tumor biopsies, and response rate. Results: As of December 2009, 12 patients (most with colorectal cancer) have been treated on the first 4 dose levels. Forty-one doses have been administered; 0.1-0.4 mg/kg ALN-VSP02 was well- tolerated, with no hepatotoxicity. The only significant adverse event (AE) was a grade 2 infusion reaction in one patient at 0.4 mg/kg that responded to slowing of the infusion. At 0.7 mg/kg, a patient with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor extensively involving both lobes of the liver died of hepatic failure following the second dose; this was deemed possibly related to study drug. Two additional patients treated at 0.7 mg/kg did not exhibit hepatotoxicity or any other significant AEs. PK showed Cmax and AUC that were dose proportional with no accumulation. Serial DCE-MRI scans performed 2-9 days after the first dose on 8 of the 12 patients showed a ≥40% decline in Ktrans in 12 of 15 liver tumors (80%) evaluated. This decline in blood flow was associated with extensive tumor necrosis in the patient with the neuroendocrine tumor. Conclusions: ALN-VSP02 was well-tolerated by the majority of patients across the first 4 dose levels. DCE-MRI results show preliminary evidence of an anti-VEGF effect. Accrual is continuing, and additional safety and PD data will be forthcoming.

Enhanced Charge Efficiency in Capacitive Deionization Achieved by Surface-Treated Electrodes and by Means of a Third Electrode (2011)

In this paper, we report on attempts to improve the charge efficiency of electrochemical capacitive deionization (CDI) processes without limiting the range of applied potentials, by using surface-treated (oxidized or reduced) activated carbon fiber (ACF) electrodes, and by means of a third, auxiliary electrode. For oxidizing the ACF electrodes, we etched ACFs for different periods of time with a concentrated nitric acid solution. For reduction of the ACFs, several surface treatments were considered: reaction with hydrogen at high temperatures, removal of oxygen surface groups by heating under vacuum at high temperatures, reaction with a concentrated aqueous solution of a sodium borohydride solution, and reaction with a concentrated sodium borohydride solution after oxidation with a concentrated nitric acid solution. To examine the charge efficiency, we elaborated a special flow-through cell (where the solution flows through the ACF electrode) with a silver/silver chloride mesh reference electrode. The feasibility of using surface-treated carbon electrodes and/or of using a third, auxiliary electrode (with which the potential applied to each electrode can be controlled) for enhancing the charge efficiency is discussed and examined. We were able to demonstrate an increase in the charge efficiency of the CDI process by 30% without the need to reduce the potential range of operation.
Mesangial proliferative change and mesangiolysis. Habu-snake venom induced glomerular lesions of the kidney. (1989)

Proliferative changes of the glomerular mesangium of the kidney are generally considered to be a progressive inflammatory process of glomerulonephritis. There are several reports on experimental glomerulonephritis induced by snake venom which is known to cause demonstrable mesangiolytic changes in the glomerulus. The author investigated the sequential morphological changes of the renal glomerulus by light and electron microscopy after administration of 1.0 mg/kg of Habu (Trimeresurus flavoviridis) snake venom to 56 guinea-pigs via tail vein injection. In addition, an analysis of proliferated cells in the glomerulus was attempted by applying the immunostaining method for the antibody to BrdU as the marker of the dividing cells. Various degrees of mesangiolytic changes of the glomerulus were induced after Habu venom injection. In this model, however, the majority of mesangiolytic changes were mild. Subsequent segmental nodular proliferation of the mesangial cells was observed in mesangiolytic areas. Mitotic figures appeared from 24 hours to 7 days after the venom injection, as shown by BrdU staining. New capillary lumens were formed among the proliferated cells of the postmesangiolytic segment 4 to 5 days after the venom injection. Formation of capillary lumens and reconstruction of the glomerular loops had been gradually established through the time course. The histological structure of the glomeruli returned almost to normal 15 weeks after the venom injection, with occasional features of remolded-healing, although a small number of glomeruli still showed persisted mild segmental mesangial proliferation as well as mild increase of PAM-positive substance in the mesangial area. These results suggest that mesangial proliferation is related to the reconstruction of the glomerulus rather than the progression of the glomerular lesions, at least in this model. The author postulates that the mesangial cell has the functional ability to repair the injured glomerular structure. The application of the BrdU immunostaining method turns out to be a useful tool for analyzing the relationship between cell mitosis and cell proliferation. In the guinea-pig, the Habu-snake venom induced mesangiolytic lesions are milder than those in the rabbit and the rat and the degree of subsequent mesangial proliferative changes is less prominent.
Textile qualities of regenerated cellulose fibers from cotton waste pulp (2017)

Cotton is not the answer to meet the rapidly growing demand for textile fibers. Wood-based regenerated cellulose fibers are an attractive alternative. Since wood is a candidate to replace fossil raw materials in so many applications of the circular economy, other sources need investigation. Cotton linters work in the viscose process – can cotton waste be used to make dissolving pulp? We describe the textile qualities of lyocell fibers from (i) pure cotton waste pulp and (ii) blending with conventional dissolving pulp. The staple fibers were tensile tested, yarns spun and tensile tested and knitted, and tested for shrinkage, water and dye sorption, abrasion resistance, fuzzing and pilling, staining and fastness. TENCEL® staple fibers and off-the-shelf TENCEL® yarn were used as references. The results show that the two study fibers had tenacity and an E-modulus that exceeded the staple fiber reference. Also, the study yarns were at least as good as the spun reference yarn and the commercial off-the-shelf yarn in terms of wet tenacity. Single jerseys made from the study yarns shrunk less upon laundering, which is surprising since they could absorb at least as much water at a comparable rate as the references. Dyeability, staining and color fastness, durability and pilling tendency showed that the two study fiber tricots performed at least as good as the references. This study suggests that cotton waste is a promising candidate for special grade pulp to suit niche regenerated fiber products or to spice up conventional wood-based dissolving pulp.

Understanding the Oxidation Behavior of Fe/Ni/Cr and Fe/Cr/Ni Core/Alloy Nanoparticles (2016)

In this work we describe a method to prepare core/alloy nanoparticles (CA-NPs) based on transition metal alloys with tunable oxidation properties. We investigated the use of chromium and nickel carbonyl based precursors to control shell deposition and thickness at α-Fe cores producing Fe/Cr/Ni and Fe/Ni/Cr CA-NPs. We compared the systems by monitoring resistance to oxidation and found that it is highly dependent on the shell and alloy sequence as well as thickness, with thin Fe/Cr/Ni having the best stainless behavior. The CA-NP growth was monitored by TEM, and composition was assessed by XPS. Oxidation was quantified by both powder XRD and XPS. The results were analyzed in light of alloy miscibility and diffusion, as well as lattice strains and interfacial oxidation rates.
