Multiscale modeling, simulations, and experiments of coating growth on nanofibers. Part I. Sputtering (2005)

This paper is Part I of an integrated experimental/modeling investigation of a procedure to coat nanofibers and core-clad nanostructures with thin-film materials using plasma-enhanced physical vapor deposition. In the experimental effort, electrospun polymer nanofibers are coated with aluminum under varying operating conditions to observe changes in the coating morphology. This procedure begins with the sputtering of the coating material from a target. This paper focuses on the sputtering process and transport of the sputtered material through the reactor. The interrelationships among the processing factors for the sputtering and transport are investigated from a detailed modeling approach that describes the salient physical and chemical phenomena. Solution strategies that couple continuum and atomistic models are used. At the continuum scale, the sheath region and the reactor dynamics near the target surface are described. At the atomic level, molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations are used to study the sputtering and deposition mechanisms. Ion kinetic energies and fluxes are passed from the continuum sheath model to the MD simulations. These simulations calculate sputtering and sticking probabilities that in turn are used to calculate parameters for the continuum reactor model. The reactor model determines the concentration field of the coating material.
Full-Field and Single-Shot Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography: A Novel Technique for Biomedical Imaging Applications (2012)

Since its introduction, optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology has advanced dramatically in various field of both clinical and fundamental research. Full-field and Single-shot full-field OCT (FF-OCT and SS-FF-OCT) are alternative OCT concepts, which aims to improve the image acquisition speed and to simplify the optical setup of conventional point-scan OCT by realizing direct line field or full-field sample imaging onto an array or line detector such as CCD or CMOS camera. FF-OCT and SS-FF-OCT are based on bulk optics Linnik-type Michelson interferometer with relatively high numerical aperture (NA) microscopic objectives. This paper will give you an overview of the principle of various types of FF-OCT and SS-FF-OCT techniques and its associated system design concept and image reconstruction algorithms.

Loperamide related toxic megacolon in <i>Clostridium difficile</i> colitis (1990)

Bilateral adrenal lymphoma presenting as Addison's disease Sir, In their article, 'Bilateral adrenal lymphoma presenting as Addison's disease',' Dr Pagliuca and associates state that: 'presentation of lymphoma with the clinical and biochemical features of Addison's disease ... has only been reported once. ' The fact is that at least 8 such cases have been reported in the English language medical literature, including one reported by us, in the article: 'Lymphoma presenting with adrenal insufficiency: adrenal enlargement on computed tomographic scanning as a clue to diagnosis ', published in 1988.2 The case reported by Dr Pagliuca et al. may be added to the list of reports in which enlarged adrenal glands seen on computed tomographic scanning during investigation of adrenal insufficiency could serve as a clue to the diagnosis of adrenal lymphoma.
Better Prediction of Engine Oil Pumpability Through a More Effective MRV Cooling Cycle (1983)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The Kini-Rotary Viscometer (MRV), adopted by SAE in 1980 to predict engine oil pumpability, was unable to fail certain commercial oils that caused engine problems in the winter of 1980-81. The latter oils did fail in the seven-day Federal Stable Pour, Cycle C, Test (FSPCCT). A special study of the FSPCCT temperature cycle in the MRV highlighted the importance of a slow cooldown rate in the temperature range of engine oil cloud points. Using this principle, a modified one-day MRV test was developed that fails 1980-81 problem oils. Further modification, however, was required to detect a newly discovered problem oil, PRO-29, Failure-prone oils discovered since 1980 are very sensitive to subtle changes in cooling rate and temperature regime. As the industry proceeds to develop a more effective MRV test, a better insight into the pumpability problems of 1980-81 has been gained.</div>
Cocaine-associated rhabdomyolysis. (1988)

Piroxicam and Doxepin in Pain ManagementTO THE EDITOR: I read with a great deal of interest the article about piroxicam and doxepin by Cohn and co-workers in the March issue.1Many of us in oncologic practice are familiar with the efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents as well as tricyclic antidepressant therapy for relief of cancer pain.These authors, however, point out that 17 of the 30 patients treated with the regimen of piroxicam and doxepin ultimately required supplemental narcotics for adequate pain control and 6 patients abandoned therapy altogether because of severe side effects.Thus, their regimen was at least no better and perhaps worse than narcotic analgesics in 23 out of their 30 patients or 76% of their trial group.In addition, a noto-
Thermal pyrolytic graphite composite with coefficient of thermal expansion matching for advanced thermal management (2012)

As demonstrated in this study, bonding TPG with CTE-matched alloys, such as MoCu, simultaneously achieves high thermal conductivity (TC > 900 W/m-K) and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE < 9×10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">−6</sup> /K). The TC and CTE measurements as a function of TPG loadings on the TPG-MoCu composites match the theoretical calculation. Compared with the traditional 2-component architecture, heat spreaders made of this TPG composite not only increase the efficiency of thermal spreading, but also eliminate one thermal interface and reduce the integration cost.
Expression of human epidermal growth factor precursor cDNA in transfected mouse NIH 3T3 cells. (1988)

Stable cell lines expressing the human epidermal growth factor (EGF) precursor have been prepared by transfection of mouse NIH 3T3 cells with a bovine papillomavirus-based vector in which the human kidney EGF precursor cDNA has been placed under the control of the inducible mouse metallothionein I promoter. Synthesis of the EGF precursor can be induced by culturing the cells in 5 mM butyric acid or 100 microM ZnCl2. The EGF precursor synthesized by these cells appears to be membrane associated; none is detectable in the cytoplasm. The size of the EGF precursor expressed by these cells is approximately 150-180 kDa, which is larger than expected from its amino acid sequence, suggesting that it is posttranslationally modified, presumably by glycosylation. The EGF precursor was also detected in the conditioned medium from these cells, indicating that some fraction of the EGF precursor synthesized by these transfected cells may be secreted. Preliminary data suggest that this soluble form of the EGF precursor may compete with 125I-labeled EGF for binding to the EGF receptor. These cell lines should be useful for studying the processing of the EGF precursor to EGF as well as determining the properties and possible functions of the EGF precursor itself.
A Case Study Using a Behavioural Contract in Alcohol Dependence within a Crisis Home Treatment Team (2022)

In this case study, we present a novel approach to care within a Home Treatment Team, using a behavioural contract. This is a signed, written agreement that targets specific behaviours for change. The concept draws on social learning theory in that it requires social interaction and a relationship to work. In psychiatric settings, the behavioural contract often finds use in Democratic Therapeutic Communities but rarely in crisis or acute services. In this case study, we attempted to use a behavioural contract within our Home Treatment Team to help a patient address his alcohol dependence and its subsequent effect on his daily living activities. The behavioural contract provided an alternative way to manage a crisis episode. We hope that other crisis service staff reading this case study may use a behavioural contract in their work to a similar beneficial effect.
Effects of mobility and multihoming on transport-protocol security (2004)

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable message-based transport protocol developed by the IETF that could replace TCP in some applications. SCTP allows endpoints to have multiple IP addresses for the purposes of fault tolerance. There is on-going work to extend the SCTP multihoming functions to support dynamic addressing and endpoint mobility. This paper explains how the multihoming and mobility features can be exploited for denial-of-service attacks, connection hijacking, and packet flooding. We propose implementation guidelines for SCTP and changes to the mobility extensions that prevent most of the attacks. The same lessons apply to multihomed TCP variants and other transport-layer protocols that incorporate some flavor of dynamic addressing.

Chemical Degradation of Nafion Membranes under Mimic Fuel Cell Conditions as Investigated by Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy (2010)

A new ex situ method has been developed to mimic the degradation of the polymer membranes in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), caused by the cross-leakage of H2 and O2. In this ex situ setup, it is possible to expose membranes to flows of different gases with a controlled temperature and humidity. H+-form Nafion films with and without an electrode layer (Pt) have been treated in the presence of different gases in order to simulate the anode and cathode side of a PEMFC. The changes of the chemical structure occurring during the degradation tests were primarily examined by solid-state 19F NMR spectroscopy. For completion, liquid-state NMR studies and ion-exchange capacity measurements were performed. The molecular mobility changes of the ionomer membrane upon degradation were examined for the first time by variable-temperature 19F NMR line-shape, T1 and T1ρ relaxation experiments. It was found that degradation occurs only when both H2 and O2 are present (condition of gas cross-leakage) and when the membrane is coated with a Pt catalyst. The chemical degradation rate is found to be highest for H2-rich mixtures of H2 and O2, which corresponds to the anode under OCV conditions. It is further shown that side-chain disintegration is very important for chemical degradation, although backbone decomposition also takes place. The temperature-dependent line-width and spectral anisotropy alterations were explained by the reduction of static disorder in the Nafion membrane. From the relaxation data, there is evidence for structural annealing, which is independent of the chemical degradation. Chemical degradation is considered to reduce the chain flexibility, as expressed by smaller motional amplitudes, most probably due to chain cross-linking.

Enterprise Application Transformation Strategy and Roadmap Design: A Business Value Driven and IT Supportability Based Approach (2014)

This paper proposes a practical and framework based approach to design an architecture transformation strategy and roadmap aiming to transform or modernize critical legacy enterprise systems. The approach is business value driven with IT supportability in terms of lower application operational and support costs, higher business value and shorter time to market of application delivery. The approach introduces a robust enterprise application architecture assessment framework with an emphasis on both technical (internal) and strategic (external) perspectives to guide the application assessment and a finance self-support transformation strategy to aid its transformation roadmap design. The approach was applied in multiple large enterprises successfully and received endorsements and positive feedback from the sponsors. The paper also presents a case study detailing the successful application of the approach to modernize an enterprise logistics transportation management system.
On-Site, Near-Real-Time Monitoring of Scale Deposition (1999)

Abstract Inorganic scale deposition is a problem associated with petroleum production. Scale deposition is often managed or mitigated by the use of scale inhibitors. The current industry standard for managing scale programs relies on the determination of scale inhibitor concentration in the scaling brine and then relates this concentration to program performance. Scale inhibitor residual tests are not ideal because the tests themselves are often time consuming to run, subject to interference from components in the produced water, and specific to the inhibitor used. There are delays associated if samples are sent off for analysis. Most important, the results offer no direct information about actual scaling potential. This paper presents a novel technique for scale management which involves direct, near-real-time monitoring of the stability of produced water towards scale deposition. Our method couples together a unique piezoelectric sensor for on-site, near-real-time detection of scale deposition with a method of applying low-level stress (addition of scaling cations or anions) to produced water in order to detect incipient scale. The tests can be run on-site, are independent of scale inhibitor, and results are obtained within hours. Lab studies and field studies are presented for barium sulfate scale deposition. The potential for real time on-line monitoring is discussed.

Imposing a Reference Timing onto Firefly Synchronization in Wireless Networks (2007)

In this paper a reference timing is imposed onto a network that synchronizes in a completely distributed manner. Synchronization is not always obtained because normal nodes are deaf while transmitting and cannot always receive synchronization messages from reference nodes. To counter this unwanted effect the transmission scheme of reference nodes is modified so that synchrony can be ensured and all network members agree on the imposed reference timing
Overview of the Architecture, Circuit Design, and Physical Implementation of a First-Generation Cell Processor (2005)

This paper reviews the design challenges that current and future processors must face, with stringent power limits, high-frequency targets, and the continuing system integration trends. This paper then describes the architecture, circuit design, and physical implementation of a first-generation Cell processor and the design techniques used to overcome the above challenges. A Cell processor consists of a 64-bit Power Architecture processor coupled with multiple synergistic processors, a flexible IO interface, and a memory interface controller that supports multiple operating systems including Linux. This multi-core SoC, implemented in 90-nm SOI technology, achieved a high clock rate by maximizing custom circuit design while maintaining reasonable complexity through design modularity and reuse.
Thrombin's central role in angiogenesis and pathophysiological processes (2009)

A plethora of endogenous modulators of angiogenesis have been identified and their roles in the molecular and cellular events that mediate and regulate angiogenesis have been proposed. In this review, we summarize the recent findings on the role of thrombin/thrombosis on angiogenesis and other related pathophysiological processes. The mechanisms by which thrombin itself and its receptor PAR1 orchestrate many cellular events through interaction with a variety of other factors and cell types are discussed. These new data point to the complexity of the regulatory processes involved in the angiogenic cascade, which may be tissue specific, and dependent upon the pathology involved. The understanding of these events may provide targets for therapeutic intervention in disease states where angiogenesis is disturbed.
Encapsulating aspirin into a surfactant-free ethyl cellulose microsphere using non-toxic solvents by emulsion solvent-evaporation technique (2001)

Microencapsulation of aspirin in ethylcellulose was studied in a surfactant-free, water-in-oil type of emulsification/solvent evaporation process using non-toxic solvents. Ethanol was used as the dispersed phase and soybean oil as the continuous phase. The recovered weight, particle size distribution, aspirin loading efficiency, and the aspirin release rate of microspheres were analysed. The addition of a small amount of non-solvent (water) prior to the emulsification was found to have a significant impact on the microencapsulation process. Adding non-solvent increases the recovered weight and the size of the microspheres. The addition of non-solvent also markedly changes the microsphere characteristics, resulting in a coarser surface and an increased release rate. Increasing the emulsification evaporation temperature increases the size of the microsphere, but reduces the recovered weight and loading efficiency. The release rate follows a first-order kinetics and Higuchi matrix kinetics at low concentrations of non-solvent, suggesting a monolithic system with aspirin uniformly distributed in the microsphere.
P-Channel Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors down to Sub-50 nm Channel Lengths (2006)

Experimental results of p-channel silicon vertical tunnel field-effect transistors down to sub-50 nm channel length are shown. As predicted by two-dimensional simulations, we show that the device on-current is nearly independent of channel length scaling. As the drain current is determined by electrons tunneling from the valence band to the conduction band, we show that mobility does not play any role in determining the device characteristics. Low temperature measurements reveal weak positive temperature coefficient in the transfer characteristics due to the dependence of bandgap on temperature. However, as expected for the silicon devices, low on-current is observed. Thus, we propose a lateral tunnel FET on SiGe-on-insulator with high on-currents and symmetric performance in n-channel as well as p-channel operating modes.
Quiescent period respiratory gating for PET/CT (2010)

Compared to ungated and phase-gated images, the QPG methods lead to images with less motion blurring and an improved compromise between SUV(max) and fraction of counts. The QPG methods for respiratory motion compensation could effectively improve tumor quantification with minimal noise increase.
An Unexpected Bis-ligation of <i>S</i>-Nitrosothiols (2009)

A bis-ligation reaction of S-nitrosothiols using triaryl substituted phosphine-thioester substrates has been developed. This reaction converts unstable primary S-nitrosothiols to stable disulfide-iminophosphorane products in high yields under mild conditions. It can potentially be applied for the detection of S-nitrosation in protein systems.
