Optical temperature sensing using upconversion fluorescence emission in Er3+/Yb3+-codoped chalcogenide glass (1998)

Optical temperature sensing using upconversion fluorescence emission in Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Ga2S3:La2O3 chalcogenide glass excited at 1.06 μm is reported. Temperature measurements in the region of 20–225 °C with a resolution of approximately 0.5 °C using excitation powers of a few tens of milliwatts were obtained. The temperature sensing mechanism is independent of variations in the excitation intensity, possible fluctuations of transmission, and utilizes a simple signal detection and processing system. The results also revealed that the glass host material plays an important role in the performance of the sensing system.
Circular Polarization and Mode Reconfigurable Wideband Orbital Angular Momentum Patch Array Antenna (2018)

A circular polarization (CP) and mode reconfigurable wideband orbital angular momentum (OAM) patch array antenna is presented. The proposed design is based on a reconfigurable feed network (RFN), a direct current (dc) bias circuit, and a <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$2 \times 2$ </tex-math></inline-formula> patch array. By changing the dc bias voltages of p-i-n didoes, the operating state of the antenna can be reconfigured between the left-hand CP with a mode <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$l = +1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and right-hand CP (RHCP) with a mode <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$l = -1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> , over the wide impedance bandwidth of 21%. For the two states, the measured peak gains are larger than 5.3 and 5.2 dBi, and the axial ratios in half-power main beam directions are lower than 1.29 and 1.05 dB, respectively. Different from existing OAM antennas, the diversities of polarization, frequency, and mode, as well as the CP with inherently high cross-polarization discrimination are simultaneously integrated in the proposed antenna, which serves as a good basis for improving the capacity and spectral efficiency of radio systems. In addition, the antenna features single-external input port, a simple RFN occupying a small number of diodes, and a compact size of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1.28 \times 1.28 \times 0.07 \lambda _{0}^{3}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda _{0}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the free-space wavelength at center frequency), all of which ease implementation and reduce fabrication cost. Therefore, the proposed antenna is very promising for modern high-speed and large capacity wireless communication systems.
Optimization of update intervals in Dead-Peer-Detection using adaptive Fuzzy Logic (2007)

Internet is major communication media and staying "online" becomes a key requirement. Commonly, the broadband access and enterprise networks involve devices with dynamic NAPT(NAT) and statefull firewalls functionality. Keeping open connection behind such an intermediate device is not a trivial task. The intermediate device closes the connection without sending any notify to participants. Until proactively detaching the change of connection status, all send packets get lost. Most applications involve deed-peer-detection mechanisms to verify the host availability, thus if the connection is active. The fast detection of connection lost is vital for the application and therefore short constant dead-peer-detection intervals are used. The update interval is a tradeoff between the network resources and fast detection of disconnection. The interval values are currently constant and set based on the general network experience and application requirements. In this paper is suggested a new framework for dynamic optimization of the update intervals in respect of fast disconnection detection and low network resources. The key idea is to make the update interval proportional to the probability of connection drop. The main issue is that the time point of disconnection can only be narrowed down to certain update interval, the exact time point can not be determined by the hosts. The proposed solution is based on adaptive Fuzzy Logic. The simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the new method. The optimization is relevant for wide spectrum of applications, like VoIP, routing, security protocols etc.
Antithrombotic efficacy of a novel factor Xa inhibitor, FXV673, in a canine model of coronary artery thrombolysis (2001)

We compared the antithrombotic efficacy of a potent factor Xa inhibitor, FXV673, to heparin and RPR109891, a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist, when used as adjunctive therapy in a canine model of rt-PA-induced coronary thrombolysis. Thrombus formation was induced by electrolytic injury to stenosed coronary artery. After thrombotic occlusion, a 135 min infusion of saline (n=8), FXV673 (10, 30 or 100 microg kg(-1)+1, 3, or 10 microg kg(-1) min(-1), respectively; n=8 per dose), heparin (60 u kg(-1)+0.7 u kg(-1) min(-1), n=8), or RPR109891 (30 microg kg(-1)+0.45 microg kg(-1) min(-1), n=8), was initiated. Aspirin (5 mg kg(-1), i.v.) was administered to all animals. Fifteen minutes after the start of drug infusion, rt-PA was administered (100 microg kg(-1)+20 microg kg(-1) min(-1) for 60 min). The incidence of reperfusion in the high dose FXV673 (8/8, 100%) was significantly greater than that in the heparin group (4/8, 50%), with a trend to faster reperfusion (23+/-5 min for FXV673 versus 41+/-11 min for heparin). Only 2/8 (25%) of the vessels reoccluded in the high dose FXV673 group, compared to 4/4 (100%) and 5/5 (100%) vessels in the heparin and RPR109891 groups, respectively (P<0.05). Throughout the protocol, blood flow was higher in the FXV673 treated group compared to other groups. FXV673 enhanced vessel patency in a dose-dependent manner. Compared to vehicle and heparin groups, the thrombus mass was decreased by 60% in the high dose FXV673. FXV673, heparin and RPR109891 increased the bleeding time by 2.7, 1.7 and 4 fold, and APTT by 2.8, 2.7 and 1.2 fold, respectively. In conclusion, FXV673 is more effective than heparin and at least as effective as RPR109891 when used as an adjunct during rt-PA-induced coronary thrombolysis.

Enhanced inhibitory neurotransmission in the cerebellar cortex of <i>Atp1a3</i>‐deficient heterozygous mice (2013)

Dystonia is characterized by excessive involuntary and prolonged simultaneous contractions of both agonist and antagonist muscles. Although the basal ganglia have long been proposed as the primary region, recent studies indicated that the cerebellum also plays a key role in the expression of dystonia. One hereditary form of dystonia, rapid-onset dystonia with parkinsonism (RDP), is caused by loss of function mutations of the gene for the Na pump α3 subunit (ATP1A3). Little information is available on the affected brain regions and mechanism for dystonia by the mutations in RDP. The Na pump is composed of α and β subunits and maintains ionic gradients of Na(+) and K(+) across the cell membrane. The gradients are utilized for neurotransmitter reuptake and their alteration modulates neural excitability. To provide insight into the molecular aetiology of RDP, we generated and analysed knockout heterozygous mice (Atp1a3(+/-)). Atp1a3(+/-) showed increased symptoms of dystonia that is induced by kainate injection into the cerebellar vermis. Atp1a3 mRNA was highly expressed in Purkinje cells and molecular-layer interneurons, and its product was concentrated at Purkinje cell soma, the site of abundant vesicular γ-aminobutyric acid transporter (VGAT) signal, suggesting the presynaptic localization of the α3 subunit in the inhibitory synapse. Electrophysiological studies showed that the inhibitory neurotransmission at molecular-layer interneuron-Purkinje cell synapses was enhanced in Atp1a3(+/-) cerebellar cortex, and that the enhancement originated via a presynaptic mechanism. Our results shed light on the role of Atp1a3 in the inhibitory synapse, and potential involvement of inhibitory synaptic dysfunction for the pathophysiology of dystonia.

The Amino Acid Sequences of Two Soybean Double Headed Proteinase Inhibitors and Evolutionary Consideration on the Legume Proteinase Inhibitors (1976)

Two proteinase inhibitors, C-II and D-II, were isolated from soybeans. C-II was shown to be an inhibitor of bovine trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4], bovine alpha-chymotrypsin [EC 3.4.21.1], and porcine elastase [EC 3.4.21.11], whereas D-II inhibited only trypsin. The complete amino acid sequences of the two inhibitors establishors. On the basis of the specificities of the inhibitors and their homologies with other double-headed inhibitors, the reactive sites of C-II seems to be alanine-22 for elastase and arginine-49 for trypsin (and probably also for chymotrypsin). D-II was quite unique because its both reactive sites are arginine residues and it only inhibits trypsin. It is suggested that D-II might be a primitive form of double-headed inhibitor and that the prototype single-headed inhibitor was a trypsin inhibitor with an arginine residue as the reactive site.
Joining challenges in the packaging of biomems (2004)

Micro-joining and hermetic sealing of dissimilar and biocompatible materials is a critical issue for a broad spectrum of products such as micro-electronical, micro-optical and biomedical products and devices. Novel implantable microsystems currently under development will include functions such as localized sensing of temperature and pressure, electrical stimulation of neural tissue and the delivery of drugs. These devices are designed to be long-term implants that are remotely powered and controlled. The development of new, biocompatible materials and manufacturing processes that ensure long-lasting functionality and reliability are critical challenges. Important factors in the assembly of such systems are the small size of the features, the heat sensitivity of integrated electronics and media, the precision alignment required to hold small tolerances, and the type of materials and material combinations to be hermetically sealed. Laser micromachining has emerged as a compelling solution to address these manufacturing challenges. This paper will describe the latest achievements in microjoining of non-metallic materials. The focus is on glass, metal and polymers that have been joined using CO2, Nd:YAG and diode lasers. Results in joining similar and dissimilar materials in different joint configurations are presented, as well as requirements for sample preparation and fixturing. The potential for applications in the biomedical sector will be demonstrated.
Ad-Blocking and Counter Blocking: A Slice of the Arms Race (2016)

Adblocking tools like Adblock Plus continue to rise in popularity, potentially threatening the dynamics of advertising revenue streams. In response, a number of publishers have ramped up efforts to develop and deploy mechanisms for detecting and/or counter-blocking adblockers (which we refer to as anti-adblockers), effectively escalating the online advertising arms race. In this paper, we develop a scalable approach for identifying third-party services shared across multiple web-sites and use it to provide a first characterization of anti-adblocking across the Alexa Top-5K websites. We map websites that perform anti-adblocking as well as the entities that provide anti-adblocking scripts. We study the modus operandi of these scripts and their impact on popular adblockers. We find that at least 6.7% of websites in the Alexa Top-5K use anti-adblocking scripts, acquired from 12 distinct entities -- some of which have a direct interest in nourishing the online advertising industry.

Relational Agents in Clinical Psychiatry (2010)

Relational agents are computational artifacts, such as animated, screen-based characters or social robots, that are designed to establish a sense of rapport, trust, and even therapeutic alliance with patients, using ideal therapeutic relationships between human counselors and patients as role models. We describe the development and evaluation of several such agents designed for health counseling and behavioral-change interventions, in which a therapeutic alliance is established with patients in order to enhance the efficacy of the intervention. We also discuss the promise of using such agents as adjuncts to clinical psychiatry, a range of possible applications, and some of the challenges and ethical issues in developing and fielding them in psychiatric interventions.
An experimental study of airfoil-spoiler aerodynamics (1983)

The steady/unsteady flow field generated by a typical two dimensional airfoil with a statically deflected flap type spoiler was investigated. Subsonic wind tunnel tests were made over a range of parameters: spoiler deflection, angle of attack, and two Reynolds numbers; and comprehensive measurements of the mean and fluctuating surface pressures, velocities in the boundary layer, and velocities in the wake. Schlieren flow visualization of the near wake structure was performed. The mean lift, moment, and surface pressure characteristics are in agreement with previous investigations of spoiler aerodynamics. At large spoiler deflections, boundary layer character affects the static pressure distribution in the spoiler hingeline region; and, the wake mean velocity fields reveals a closed region of reversed flow aft of the spoiler. It is shown that the unsteady flow field characteristics are as follows: (1) the unsteady nature of the wake is characterized by vortex shedding; (2) the character of the vortex shedding changes with spoiler deflection; (3) the vortex shedding characteristics are in agreement with other bluff body investigations; and (4) the vortex shedding frequency component of the fluctuating surface pressure field is of appreciable magnitude at large spoiler deflections. The flow past an airfoil with deflected spoiler is a particular problem in bluff body aerodynamics is considered.
The Accelograph®: a new neuromuscular transmission monitor (1988)

A new neuromuscular transmission monitor based on measurement of acceleration is presented. The monitor consists of an acceleration transducer, i.e. a piezo-electric ceramic wafer with an electrode on each side, and a stimulation and computing unit. The transducer can be fastened to the thumb, and when the finger is moved in response to nerve stimulation a voltage difference develops between the two electrodes. The voltage is then measured and registered in the computing unit. The acceleration transducer does not require preload, but merely that the muscle on which the measurement is being made can move freely. The accelograph is therefore easy to set up and operate. In daily clinical practice it has proved possible, using this new apparatus, to achieve reliable evaluation of the degree of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockade in less than 2 min.
Compact Waveguide Dual-Band Filters and Diplexers (2017)

This paper presents a new class of dual-band filters and diplexers, realized based on dual-band resonators. The proposed dual-band filter and diplexer do not require junctions and can achieve equivalent performance with fewer cavities, thus offering a significant reduction in size compared with traditional approaches. The concept is potentially applicable to most dual-band cavities and is demonstrated in this paper using elliptical and rectangular waveguide cavities. The first design is an inline structure employing elliptical cavities, whereas the second design is implemented through a unique layout that combines the use of dual-band and single-band rectangular cavities. The result is a group of highly compact dual-band filters and diplexers that offer increased Q and an improved spurious-free window. To verify the concept, an eighth-order Ku-band elliptical dual-band filter and a fourth-order Ku-band rectangular diplexer are designed, manufactured, and tested to allow comparisons with traditional designs.

Correlation of the American Urological Association Symptom Index with Self-Administered Versions of the Madsen-Iversen, Boyarsky And Maine Medical Assessment Program Symptom Indexes (1992)

We correlated the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom index with other indexes that have been used to measure symptoms for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and compared their psychometric properties. A self-administered questionnaire that allowed derivation of AUA, Maine Medical Assessment Program, Madsen-Iversen and Boyarsky symptom scores was completed by 76 men with clinically defined BPH, 59 younger control subjects, and 27 men before and after prostatectomy. The scores from the 4 indexes were strongly correlated (r = 0.77 to 0.93). All 4 indexes had good internal consistency and test-retest reliabilities. All indexes were predictive of patient global ratings of the degree of bother from the urinary condition. The AUA index discriminated BPH patients from controls significantly better than the Maine Medical Assessment Program index, and equivalently to the Madsen-Iversen and Boyarsky indexes (despite having fewer items). All 4 indexes were responsive when BPH patients underwent prostatectomy, although the AUA and Madsen-Iversen indexes were significantly more sensitive.
