Tunable optical-wavelength conversion using an optically-triggerable multielectrode distributed feedback laser diode (1988)

Tunable optical-wavelength conversion with tunability greater than 5 AA using a multielectrode distributed-feedback laser diode (DFB LD) with a saturable absorber is discussed. This device is not dependent on input polarization and can operate at up to 500 MHz. Preliminary results of an optical switching experiment using the tunable wavelength converter and optical narrowband filter with a DFB LD amplifier are also reported.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
SSII cancellation in an EAM-based OFDM-IMDD transmission system employing a novel dynamic chirp model (2013)

We develop a novel subcarrier-to-subcarrier intermixing interference (SSII) cancellation technique to estimate and eliminate SSII. For the first time, the SSII cancellation technique is experimentally demonstrated in an electro-absorption modulator- (EAM-) based intensity-modulation-direct-detection (IMDD) multi-band OFDM transmission system. Since the characteristics of SSII are seriously affected by the chirp parameter, a simple constant chirp model, we found, cannot effectively remove the SSII. Therefore, assuming that the chirp parameter linearly depends on the optical power, a novel dynamic chirp model is developed to obtain better estimation and cancellation of SSII. Compared with 23.6% SSII cancellation by the constant chirp model, our experimental results show that incorporating the dynamic chirp model into the SSII cancellation technique can achieve up to 74.4% SSII cancellation and 2.8-dB sensitivity improvement in a 32.25-Gbps OFDM system over 100-km uncompensated standard single-mode fiber.
Artificial Neural Network Model Is Superior to Logistic Regression Model in Predicting Treatment Outcomes of Interferon-Based Combination Therapy in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C (2008)

It was found that BMI is an independent factor for identifying patients with favorable treatment response. A useful ANN model in predicting outcomes of standard treatment for CHC infection was developed and showed greater accuracy than the LR model.
Mismatch oligonucleotides in human and yeast: guidelines for probe design on tiling microarrays (2008)

We investigate several parameters for oligonucleotide design, including the effects of each central nucleotide substitution on array signal intensity and of multiple MM per oligo. To avoid GC skew, individual substitutions should not alter probe GC content. RNA sample mixture complexity may increase the amount of nonspecific hybridization, magnify GC skew and boost the intensity of MM oligos at all levels.
Si-induced enhancement of ohmic performance of Ti/Al/Mo/Au metallisation for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs (2005)

Incorporation of Si is shown to induce an improvement in the ohmic performance of Ti/Al/Mo/Au metallisation on MOCVD-grown AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. Optimised contact resistance (Rc) and specific contact resistivity (ρc) of Ti/Si/Al/Si/Mo/Au metallisation are 0.16 Ω · mm and 6.77×10−7 Ω · cm2 in comparison to 0.41 Ω · mm and 4.78×10−6 Ω · cm2 obtained for Ti/Al/Mo/Au metallisation. Auger electron spectroscopy analysis indicates that Si containing inter-metallics formation is responsible for enhancement of ohmic performance.
Introducing the “Corona Curtain”: an innovative technique to prevent airborne COVID-19 exposure during emergent intubations (2020)

The new "Corona Curtain" was designed to improve the safety of ED staff when performing urgent/emergent intubations during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The concept can easily be adopted to other patient care areas, including perioperative and intensive care units. Future validation studies are needed to determine the safety and efficacy of the intubation tents by quantifying the pre-/post-intubation exposure through "point-of-care" SARS-CoV-2 testing once these resources are more widely available.
The impact of brand identity on the perceived brand image of a merged higher education institution : part one (2006)

This article, the first of a series of two, reports on the findings of a conceptual model which empirically tested the impact of selected independent variables (reputation, relevance, personality, performance and relationship) on a moderating variable (brand identity) and, in turn, the influence thereof on brand image as the dependent variable. 
Stakeholders of a recently merged Higher Education Institution, the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, were surveyed using a newly developed research instrument. The empirical results revealed that the independent variables reputation, personality, performance and relationship exerted a significant positive influence on the moderating variable brand identity. The items used to measure the variable relevance did not demonstrate acceptable levels of discriminant and construct validity and could not be subjected to further testing.
Repeated dipyridamole administration enhances collateral-dependent flow and regional function during exercise. A role for adenosine. (1993)

Two main hypotheses concerning the mechanisms responsible for coronary collateral growth suggest the involvement of chemical or mechanical factors. Since we recently demonstrated that the development of the coronary collateral circulation is not closely related to the extent or duration of myocardial ischemia, we hypothesized that chronic repeated vasodilation and increased myocardial blood flow using dipyridamole would enhance collateral development in miniswine with an ameroid-occluded left circumflex coronary artery (LCx). Two days after surgical instrumentation, the animals received dipyridamole (n = 9), diltiazem as an adenosine-independent vasodilator (n = 8), or control vehicle (n = 7) 90 minutes per day, 5 days per week for 8 weeks. At 5 and 8 weeks, transmural blood flow and systolic wall thickening were measured during infusion of dipyridamole, diltiazem, or vehicle. Transmural blood flow increased similarly in the LCx and nonoccluded regions at 30 and 60 minutes during infusion of either vasodilator. Thus, we believe that similar mechanical stimulation resulted from dipyridamole and diltiazem infusion. There was no change in blood flow during administration of the vehicle. Systolic wall thickening in the collateral-dependent region was not altered by infusion of dipyridamole, diltiazem, or vehicle. Therefore, both vasodilators increased blood flow without eliciting ischemia. After 8 weeks of repeated treatment with each pharmacological agent, at least 24 hours after the last drug infusion, near maximal physiological capacity of the coronary collateral vessels was assessed during treadmill running (approximately 240 beats per minute). Transmural myocardial blood flow ratios, expressed as flow in the LCx divided by flow in the nonoccluded region of the left ventricle, were similar at rest for animals treated with dipyridamole (0.90 +/- 0.03), diltiazem (0.97 +/- 0.05), and control vehicle (0.89 +/- 0.02). However, collateral-dependent myocardial blood flow during exercise was greater (P < .05) in the dipyridamole-treated animals (0.78 +/- 0.04) than in either diltiazem-treated (0.63 +/- 0.09) or vehicle-treated (0.62 +/- 0.02) animals. LCx systolic wall thickening at rest was similar in animals treated with dipyridamole (44.4 +/- 6.3%), diltiazem (42.2 +/- 3.0%), and control vehicle (38.1 +/- 2.8%). During exercise, however, myocardial function in the collateral-dependent region was greater (P < .05) in the dipyridamole-treated (39.2 +/- 5.2%) compared with diltiazem-treated (23.9 +/- 4.0%) and vehicle-treated (26.9 +/- 2.9%) animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
Ultrafine Pd Nanoparticles Anchored on Nitrogen-Doping Carbon for Boosting Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes (2018)

The catalytic performance of metal particles is closely related to the particle size. In this article, ultrafine palladium nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doping carbon support (Pd/N-XC72R) were fabricated, wherein the N-XC72R was prepared through low-temperature annealing of Vulcan XC72R carbon with urea at 300 °C. Nitrogen dopant on the surface of carbon support can remarkably strengthen the affinity of the metal nanoparticles onto the support. Compared with the Vulcan XC-72R-supported Pd catalyst, the prepared Pd/N-XC72R delivered superior catalytic activity for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes with formic acid as the hydrogen donor at ambient temperature. Our strategy may provide an effective and feasible approach to fabricate N-functionalized carbon materials and construct high-performance ultrasmall metal nanoparticle heterogeneous catalysts.
Enhanced Power Output of a Triboelectric Nanogenerator Composed of Electrospun Nanofiber Mats Doped with Graphene Oxide (2015)

We developed a book-shaped triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) that consists of electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanofibers to effectively harvest mechanical energy. The dispersed graphene oxide in the PVDF nanofibers acts as charge trapping sites, which increased the interface for charge storage as well as the output performance of the TENG. The book-shaped TENG was used as a direct power source to drive small electronics such as LED bulbs. This study proved that it is possible to improve the performance of TENGs using composite materials.
Serologic response to human melanoma lines from patients with melanoma undergoing treatment with vaccinia melanoma oncolysates. (1984)

Specific active tumor immunotherapy methods offer the possibility of increasing the immunogenicity of tumor cells. One of these methods is viral oncolysis, in which tumor cells are modified by viral infection. We prepared vaccinia melanoma oncolysates (VMO) from human melanoma lines infected with vaccinia virus. In a preliminary trial at Washington University, sera from 12 patients with melanoma with stage I and II disease were obtained before and during treatment with VMO. The reactivity of these sera to melanoma lines was examined with a Staphylococcus protein A assay that detects most human IgGs. Our data demonstrate that, during treatment with VMO, sera from all 12 patients developed reactivity to melanoma lines. Selected sera were also tested in a double blind study by the C3-mixed hemadsorption assay, which detects mostly IgM. Results from this assay were in complete agreement with those obtained by the Staphylococcus protein A assay: Pretreatment sera were generally negative and sera obtained during treatment were positive. The specificity of these responses is presently under investigation. Our findings indicate that, as a consequence of treatment with VMO, a reactivity develops in the patients' sera. This reactivity is probably due to both IgG and IgM antibodies and its directed toward antigens expressed on human melanoma lines.
Yeast Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p Deadenylation-Dependent mRNA-Decapping Factors Are Required for Brome Mosaic Virus Genomic RNA Translation (2003)

Previously, we used the ability of the higher eukaryotic positive-strand RNA virus brome mosaic virus (BMV) to replicate in yeast to show that the yeast LSM1 gene is required for recruiting BMV RNA from translation to replication. Here we extend this observation to show that Lsm1p and other components of the Lsm1p-Lsm7p/Pat1p deadenylation-dependent mRNA decapping complex were also required for translating BMV RNAs. Inhibition of BMV RNA translation was selective, with no effect on general cellular translation. We show that viral genomic RNAs suitable for RNA replication were already distinguished from nonreplication templates at translation, well before RNA recruitment to replication. Among mRNA turnover pathways, only factors specific for deadenylated mRNA decapping were required for BMV RNA translation. Dependence on these factors was not only a consequence of the nonpolyadenylated nature of BMV RNAs but also involved the combined effects of the viral 5' and 3' noncoding regions and 2a polymerase open reading frame. High-resolution sucrose density gradient analysis showed that, while mutating factors in the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p complex completely inhibited viral RNA translation, the levels of viral RNA associated with ribosomes were only slightly reduced in mutant yeast. This polysome association was further verified by using a conditional allele of essential translation initiation factor PRT1, which markedly decreased polysome association of viral genomic RNA in the presence or absence of an LSM7 mutation. Together, these results show that a defective Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p complex inhibits BMV RNA translation primarily by stalling or slowing the elongation of ribosomes along the viral open reading frame. Thus, factors in the Lsm1p-7p/Pat1p complex function not only in mRNA decapping but also in translation, and both translation and recruitment of BMV RNAs to viral RNA replication are regulated by a cell pathway that transfers mRNAs from translation to degradation.
Viscous flow of the Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 bulk metallic glass-forming liquid (2004)

The equilibrium viscosity of the Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 bulk metallic glass-forming liquid was measured over a wide temperature range from the equilibrium supercooled liquid state to the glass transition region using parallel-plate rheometry and three-point beam bending. Based on the measured viscosity data, the fragility of this liquid was quantitatively determined. The Pd43Ni10Cu27P20 alloy, despite exhibiting the best glass-forming ability reported thus far, is relatively fragile compared with other bulk glass-forming liquids, such as Vit 1 and Vit 4.
New resin-bonded Sm&lt;inf&gt;2&lt;/inf&gt;Co&lt;inf&gt;17&lt;/inf&gt;type magnets (1980)

This report is related to the properties of the resin-bonded magnets. Some properties of these magnets are similar to those of SmCo <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">5</inf> sintered magnets. These resin-bonded magnets are made from Sm(Co Cu Fe Zr) <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">8.35</inf> alloys. In order to attain the alloys magnetically harden, heat treatments are done with cast alloys under bulk condition. There after ingots of the alloys are pulverized. The magnetic powder is mixed with resin binder or the lubricating binder. The mixture is compacted in the magnetic field. If the lubricating binder is used, the resin is penetrated into green body after compacting. After that the resin in the magnet is cured. Recently we have found the alloy of Sm(Co <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.672</inf> Cu <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.08</inf> Fe <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.22</inf> Zr <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.028</inf> ) <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">8.35</inf> with a good magnetic properties.[1] In order to obtain better magnetic properties we have been studying the alloys which contain more iron than that of the above alloy. As a result, the latter alloys were found to be also good materials for the magnet. Maximum iron content was about 22 wt%. It was realized that the resin-bonded magnet was able to have a high Br over 9KG. This magnet is suitable for applications which require high permeance coefficients.
An ECR MOCVD (Ba,Sr)TiO/sub 3/ based stacked capacitor technology with RuO/sub 2//Ru/TiN/TiSi/sub x/ storage nodes for Gbit-scale DRAMs (2002)

A high dielectric constant (Ba,Sr)TiO/sub 3/ [BST] based stacked capacitor with new RuO/sub 2//Ru/TiN/TiSi/sub x/ storage nodes was developed for Gbit-scale DRAMs. Good insulating BST films with a small t/sub eq/ of 0.65 nm on the electrode sidewalls were obtained by ECR MOCVD. The four-layer storage node allows 500/spl deg/C processing and fine-patterning down to 0.20 /spl mu/m by EB lithography and RIE. A cell capacitance of 25 fF in 0.125 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ is achieved using 0.3 /spl mu/m-high storage electrodes for 1 Gbit DRAMs.
일반논문 : 한국 고대교육사 연구와 불교 지성으로서 고승 (2010)

이 논문에서는 우리 고대 교육사 연구가 그 동안 너무 ‘국가’나, ‘제도’에 초점이 맞추어져 있었으며, 그 결과 국가의 통치 이데올로기인 유교 중심의 교육사 연구, 학교 중심의 교육사 연구에 치중할 수밖에 없었다는 인식 아래 교육사 연구의 폭과 넓이를 좀 더 심화 확대시키기 위한 한방법으로 인물을 교육 미디어로 볼 필요가 있다는 것을 주장하였다. 이러한 생각에 따라 고대 사회의 불교 지성인 고승들을 연구 대상으로 삼아, 그들의 지성의 형성 과정과 지성의 발현, 전개 과정을 고찰하였다. 제Ⅱ장에서는 이 논문에서 왜 불교 지성으로 고승을 고찰하는지, 고승의 일생을 어떻게 고찰할 것인지를 논의하였다. 제Ⅲ장에서는 고승의 일생을 크게 세 단계로 구분하여 각 단계의 특성을 고찰함으로써 불교 지성이 어떻게 형성되고 어떻게 발휘되는지를 고찰하였다. 결론에서는 우리 고대 사회에서 불교의 학문적 전통과 유교의 학문적 전통은 어떤 차이가 있는지, 불교 지성과 유교 지성의 특성과 차이는 무엇인지를 제시하였다. 이러한 불교 지성 연구를 통해 고대 교육사 연구에서 자리를 찾지 못한 불교의 위상을 찾을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 국가주의나 민족 주의적 관점에서 탈피한 교육사 서술도 기대할 수 있을 것이다.
Electronic transport mechanisms in scaled gate-all-around silicon nanowire transistor arrays (2013)

Low-frequency noise is used to study the electronic transport in arrays of 14 nm gate length vertical silicon nanowire devices. We demonstrate that, even at such scaling, the electrostatic control of the gate-all-around is sufficient in the sub-threshold voltage region to confine charges in the heart of the wire, and the extremely low noise level is comparable to that of high quality epitaxial layers. Although contact noise can already be a source of poor transistor operation above threshold voltage for few nanowires, nanowire parallelization drastically reduces its impact.
Restricted diversity of V<sub>γ</sub>9‐JP rearrangements in unstimulated human γ/δ T lymphocytes (1992)

The diversity of human peripheral blood gamma/delta T cells is known to be limited by the preferential use of V genes coding for V gamma 9 (usually linked to JP) and V delta 2. We show that the diversity of these cells is further limited at the junctional region. First, an identical rearrangement is found in 10%-30% of all gamma/delta T cells which contain V gamma 9-JP rearrangements. Second, the vast majority of V gamma 9-JP rearrangements which are different from this predominant sequence have, nevertheless, the same length or code for variable regions whose length differs by only one amino acid (+/- 1). Overall, 30%-50% of V gamma 9-JP rearrangements have a junctional region which encodes for a peptide with the amino acid sequence E VX EL, in which EV is predominantly, but not exclusively, encoded by the germ-line V gamma 9 sequence and EL is encoded by JP. The X amino acid is variable, but a glutamine is over-represented. The diversity of the V gamma 9-JP repertoire is fairly constant in different individuals and at different ages, including before, during and after the post-natal expansion of peripheral blood gamma/delta T cells.
Association study of bipolar disorder at the phospholipase A2 gene (PLA2A) in the Darierʼs disease (DAR) region of chromosome 12q23-q24.1 (1996)

We have previously described a pedigree in which affective disorder and Darier's disease cosegregate and, in an independent sample of 45 bipolar pedigrees, reported evidence in support of linkage between a putative susceptibility locus for bipolar disorder and markers in the Darier's disease region of chromosome 12q23-q24.1. The maximum evidence for linkage was given by a polymorphism at the gene encoding secretory phospholipase A2 (PLA2A), a candidate gene for affective disorder. Dawson et al. (Psychiatric Genetics, 5, 177-180) recently reported allelic association with the same polymorphism at PLA2A in a sample of 54 bipolar probands and 56 controls. We have been unable to replicate the association in 127 Caucasian British DSMIII-R bipolar probands and 223 Caucasian British controls. However, on the basis of several lines of evidence discussed in the paper, we believe that this genomic region in general, and the PLA2A gene in particular, are worthy of further study as candidates in the search for susceptibility genes for the functional psychoses.
<i>Mitsuokella dentalis</i> in human periodontitis (1994)

The occurrence of Mitsuokella dentalis in periodontitis was determined by culture and DNA probe detection. Subgingival paper-point samples from 480 periodontitis patients were transported in VMGA III, plated onto brucella agar with 5% sheep blood and incubated anaerobically for 7 days. Presumptive identification was based on a colony morphology resembling a water drop and biochemical characteristics. DNA probe detection was performed on paper-point samples using a digoxigenin-labeled cellular M. dentalis DNA probe in a dot-blot assay. Culture and DNA probe identified M. dentalis in 18.1% and in 80.7% of the study patients, respectively. M. dentalis isolates produced phosphatases, galactosidase, glucosidase and acetylglucosaminidase and showed high in vitro sensitivity to metronidazole. This study revealed that M. dentalis is a constituent of the pathogenic microbiota in human periodontitis. The periodontopathic potential of the organism is unknown.
Future Trends in Spark Ignition Engines (2001)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">The spark ignition engines offer a remarkable potential of improvement – from performances to consumption and pollution – which begins to be better exploited than in the past. This survival process is imposed by the increasing demand for performances, by the drastical limitation of pollutant emission, as well as by noticeable competitors such as the fuel cell. The improvement base for SI engines consists in the accurate control and adaptation of the thermodynamic process stages – scavenging, mixture formation and combustion – for every load, speed and surrounding conditions.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">The classical process itself offers a substantial improvement reserve when applying a load and speed adapted process management. The higher level of improvement is given by internal mixture formation using direct injection, by fully variable valve control as well as by generally higher load operation using super- or turbocharging. All these elements can be combined in an advantageous down sizing concept. The next improvement level is allowed when tuning SI engines for restricted operation windows – in hybrid propulsion scenarios. The future of SI engines is furthermore ensured by their adaptability for alternative fuels such as CNG or LPG and much more for renewable energetic sources – ethanol, methanol and their blends.</div>
Serum protein fingerprinting. (2003)

The core technologies in the rapidly expanding field of proteomics have matured to the point where quantitative measurements of thousands of proteins can be conducted, enabling truly global measurements of protein expression. This advent has brought with it the hope of discovering novel biomarkers that promise a renaissance in clinical medicine. To meet this need, many proteomic studies have focused on the identification and subsequent comparative analysis of the thousands of proteins that populate complex biological systems such as serum and tissues. A novel application of mass spectrometry has been in proteomic pattern analysis, which has emerged as an effective method for the early diagnosis of diseases. In stark contrast to 'classical' proteomics, proteomic pattern analysis relies on the pattern of proteins observed, rather than on the discrete identification of a protein. Proteomic pattern technology allows hundreds of clinical samples to be analyzed per day and promises to be a novel, highly sensitive predictive clinical tool to improve diagnostic and prognostic medicine.
Power-efficient CIC decimator architecture for f/sub s//4-downconverting digital receivers (2006)

This paper presents a power-efficient cascaded integrator-comb (CIC) decimator architecture for f/sub s//4-downconverting digital receivers. The power saving is based on running all the integrators at half the sampling frequency, regardless of the decimation ratio. This reduction of the maximum clock frequency directly lowers the power consumption, even though the proposed architecture has a larger area than the traditional CIC decimator.
