Network Selection Decision in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks (2006)

In future wireless and mobile environments it is likely that users will have access to multiple networks at the same time. Therefore there is a need to have mechanisms in place to decide which network is the most suitable for each user at each moment in time for every application that the user requires. We propose a user-centric solution where users choose the radio access network which meets their data transfer terms best. Naturally, each user wants timely quality data delivery at a low cost. In the radio environment data rates can never be guaranteed due to the unreliable nature of the radio links. The user network selection algorithm needs to predict the data rate on offer in each of the available networks and make the decision based on those predictions. This paper allows the user to select the network that will maximise the consumer surplus for non real-time data, while taking into account the delays
Sinus augmentation utilizing anorganic bovine bone (Bio-Oss) with absorbable and nonabsorbable membranes placed over the lateral window: histomorphometric and clinical analyses. (2005)

The purpose of the present study, which used anorganic bovine bone (Bio-Oss) with and without autogenous bone as the augmentation material, was to compare the results of sinus elevation performed without a membrane (control) with the results of sinus elevation performed with either a short-term bioabsorbable membrane (Bio-Gide) or a nonabsorbable membrane (Gore-Tex) with regard to both vital bone formation and implant survival. Sinus lifts were performed on 51 patients (38 unilateral, 13 bilateral) with the delayed placement of 135 implants. Histomorphometric data were obtained at the time of implant placement, 6 to 10 months following the grafting procedure. Vital bone formation was 17.6%, 16.9%, and 12.1%, respectively, for the Bio-Gide, Gore-Tex, and no membrane groups. Of the 135 implants placed there were 3 failures (2 Bio-Gide, 1 Gore-Tex). There was no significant difference between the membrane groups as to vital bone formation and implant survival.
<title>Long-period fiber grating fabricated by focused irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses</title> (1999)

We have fabricated long-period fiber grating by focused irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses at 800 nm. The examined glass fiber is a non-H<SUB>2</SUB>-loaded standard single mode fiber for telecommunication. We have found that, after focused irradiation of femtosecond pulses, refractive index at the focal point increases. We examine a thermal stability of the fabricated fiber gratings. Values of the loss peak wavelength and the transmittance of the fiber gratings after heat treatment below 500 degrees Celsius are the same as initial values before heat treatment. The fiber gratings fabricated by focused irradiation of femtosecond pulses at 800 nm have higher resistance to a thermal decay compared with those of UV-induced long-period fiber gratings. We discuss the mechanism of index change. We have proposed that this technique is useful for fabrication of long-period fiber gratings with a superior aging characteristic.

On-Film Formation of Bi Nanowires with Extraordinary Electron Mobility (2008)

A novel stress-induced method to grow semimetallic Bi nanowires along with an analysis of their transport properties is presented. Single crystalline Bi nanowires were found to grow on as-sputtered films after thermal annealing at 260-270 degrees C. This was facilitated by relaxation of stress between the film and the thermally oxidized Si substrate that originated from a mismatch of the thermal expansion. The diameter-tunable Bi nanowires can be produced by controlling the mean grain size of the film, which is dependent upon the thickness of the film. Four-terminal devices based on individual Bi nanowires were found to exhibit very large transverse and longitudinal ordinary magnetoresistance, indicating high-quality, single crystalline Bi nanowires. Unusual transport properties, including a mobility value of 76900 cm(2)/(V s) and a mean free path of 1.35 mum in a 120 nm Bi nanowire, were observed at room temperature.
The cylindrical antenna with arbitrary driving point (1965)

A new, reasonably accurate approximate solution is obtained in trigonometric form of the distribution of current and the admittance of a cylindrical antenna when driven off center. The symmetrical problem (sleeve dipole) with two equal generators at the same distances from the center is solved first, then the antisymmetrical case with equal and opposite generators. A suitable superposition of the two results provides the solution for the dipole antenna when driven at an arbitrary point along its length. The results are sufficiently simple to be useful in the study of antennas with active or passive elements located along their length.
Radiolabeled Cyclosaligenyl Monophosphates of 5-Iodo-2′-deoxyuridine, 5-Iodo-3′-fluoro-2′,3′-dideoxyuridine, and 3′-Fluorothymidine for Molecular Radiotherapy of Cancer: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation (2012)

Targeted molecular radiotherapy opens unprecedented opportunities to eradicate cancer cells with minimal irradiation of normal tissues. Described in this study are radioactive cyclosaligenyl monophosphates designed to deliver lethal doses of radiation to cancer cells. These compounds can be radiolabeled with SPECT- and PET-compatible radionuclides as well as radionuclides suitable for Auger electron therapies. This characteristic provides an avenue for the personalized and comprehensive treatment strategy that comprises diagnostic imaging to identify sites of disease, followed by the targeted molecular radiotherapy based on the imaging results. The developed radiosynthetic methods produce no-carrier-added products with high radiochemical yield and purity. The interaction of these compounds with their target, butyrylcholinesterase, depends on the stereochemistry around the P atom. IC(50) values are in the nanomolar range. In vitro studies indicate that radiation doses delivered to the cell nucleus are sufficient to kill cells of several difficult to treat malignancies including glioblastoma and ovarian and colorectal cancers.

B2 Achievements and Applications of Variable Emittance Radiator (2009)

The authors have developed a new thermal control device called Smart Radiation Device (SRD) for space use. SRD regulates amount of heat radiation to space without mechanism unlike conventional thermal louvers. Its variable emittance function is based on the metal-insulator transition of the ceramic material, La_<1-x-y>Sr_xCa_yMnO_3. The authors have developed two types of SRD, bulk-type and the thick film type and conducted flight demonstration of them on MUSES-C "HAYABUSA" and INDEX "REIMEI" respectively. Flight temperature data proved that bulk-type and thick film type SRD saved heater power and suppressed temperature drop as expected. We have been developing third type of SRD, which is with multi-layer solar reflecting coating. We have achieved drastic reduction of solar absorptance from 0.81 to 0.2. The Multi-layer type SRD is now subjected to atomic oxygen (AO) simulation test as the final step of qualification. Moreover, we expect that SRD is also effective for energy conservation of terrestrial products such as house, window glass and so on.
Modeling feature sharing between object detection and top-down attention (2005)

Visual search and other attentionally demanding processes are often guided from the top down when a specific task is given (e.g. Wolfe et al. Vision Research 44, 2004). In the simplified stimuli commonly used in visual search experiments, e.g. red and horizontal bars, the selection of potential features that might be biased for is obvious (by design). In a natural setting with real-world objects, the selection of these features is not obvious, and there is some debate which features can be used for top-down guidance, and how a specific task maps to them (Wolfe and Horowitz, Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 2004). Learning to detect objects provides the visual system with an effective set of features suitable for the detection task, and with a mapping from these features to an abstract representation of the object. We suggest a model, in which V4-type features are shared between object detection and top-down attention. As the model familiarizes itself with objects, i.e. it learns to detect them, it acquires a representation for features to solve the detection task. We propose that by cortical feedback connections, top-down processes can re-use these same features to bias attention to locations with higher probability of containing the target object. We propose a model architecture that allows for such processing, and we present a computational implementation of the model that performs visual search in natural scenes for a given object category, e.g. for faces. We compare the performance of our model to pure bottom-up selection as well as to top-down attention using simple features such as hue.
Structure and Photoluminescent Properties of ZnO Encapsulated in Mesoporous Silica SBA-15 Fabricated by Two-Solvent Strategy (2009)

The two-solvent method was employed to prepare ZnO encapsulated in mesoporous silica (ZnO/SBA-15). The prepared ZnO/SBA-15 samples have been studied by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The ZnO/SBA-15 nanocomposite has the ordered hexagonal mesostructure of SBA-15. ZnO clusters of a high loading are distributed in the channels of SBA-15. Photoluminescence spectra show the UV emission band around 368 nm, the violet emission around 420 nm, and the blue emission around 457 nm. The UV emission is attributed to band-edge emission of ZnO. The violet emission results from the oxygen vacancies on the ZnO-SiO(2) interface traps. The blue emission is from the oxygen vacancies or interstitial zinc ions of ZnO. The UV emission and blue emission show a blue-shift phenomenon due to quantum-confinement-induced energy gap enhancement of ZnO clusters. The ZnO clusters encapsulated in SBA-15 can be used as light-emitting diodes and ultraviolet nanolasers.
Characterisation of nonlinearity performance for coherent optical OFDM signals under influence of PMD (2007)

The first experiment of polarisation-mode dispersion (PMD) impact on fibre nonlinearity in coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM) systems is reported. The optimal Q value at 10.7 Gbit/s has been improved by 1 dB after introduction of differential group delay (DGD) of 900 ps.
Lattice thermal conductivity of nanostructured thermoelectric materials based on PbTe (2009)

We report the through-thickness lattice thermal conductivity Λl of (PbTe)1−x/(PbSe)x nanodot superlattices (NDSLs) over a wide range of periods 5 nm≤h≤50 nm, compositions 0.15≤x≤0.25, growth temperatures 550 K≤Tg≤620 K, and growth rates 1 μm h−1≤R≤4 μm h−1. All of our measurements approach Λl of bulk homogenous PbTe1−xSex alloys with the same average composition. For 5 nm≤h≤50 nm, Λl is independent of h; a result we attribute to short mean-free paths of phonons in PbTe and small acoustic impedance mismatch between PbTe/PbSe. We alloyed the PbTe layers of four NDSLs with SnTe up to a mole fraction y=18%; Λl is reduced by &lt;25%.
Direct geolocation of stationary wideband radio signal based on time delays and Doppler shifts (2009)

Contrary to the suboptimal (two-step) geolocation procedures, we propose a maximum likelihood estimation for the position of a stationary transmitter which its delayed and Doppler shifted signal is observed by moving receivers. The position is estimated based on the same data used in common methods. However, it is performed in a single step by maximizing a cost function that depends on the unknown position only.
A processing algorithm for freeform fabrication of heterogeneous structures (2004)

A processing algorithm for freeform fabrication of heterogeneous structures is presented. The algorithm was developed based on the heterogeneous fabrication structural model, which was constructed from the STL based multi‐material volume regions and with material identifications. The reasoning Boolean operation based modelling approach was used to construct the heterogeneous CAD assembly and to output the needed STL format. Procedures for generating the database hierarchy and the storage of the heterogeneous structural model, and derivation for developing the processing algorithm for layered fabrication of heterogeneous structure are presented. The developed algorithm was applied to a heterogeneous structure consisting of two discrete material volumes, and the detailed processing path is described.
Automated Event Detection and Activity Monitoring in Long Molecular Dynamics Simulations (2009)

Events of scientific interest in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, including conformational changes, folding transitions, and translocations of ligands and reaction products, often correspond to high-level structural rearrangements that alter contacts between molecules or among different parts of a molecule. Due to advances in computer architecture and software, MD trajectories representing such structure-changing events have become easier to generate, but the length of these trajectories poses a challenge to scientific interpretation and analysis. In this paper, we present automated methods for the detection of potentially important structure-changing events in long MD trajectories. In contrast with traditional tools for the analysis of such trajectories, our methods provide a detailed report of broken and formed contacts that aids in the identification of specific time-dependent side-chain interactions. Our approach employs a coarse-grained representation of amino acid side chains, a contact metric based on higher order generalizations of Delaunay tetrahedralization, techniques for detecting significant shifts in the resulting contact time series, and a new kernel-based measure of contact alteration activity. The analysis methods we describe are incorporated in a newly developed package, called TimeScapes, which is freely available and compatible with trajectories generated by a variety of popular MD programs. Tests based on actual microsecond time scale simulations demonstrate that the package can be used to efficiently detect and characterize important conformational changes in realistic protein systems.
The Escherichia coli MutL protein stimulates binding of Vsr and MutS to heteroduplex DNA (1998)

Vsr DNA mismatch endonuclease is the key enzyme of very short patch (VSP) DNA mismatch repair and nicks the T-containing strand at the site of a T-G mismatch in a sequence-dependent manner. MutS is part of the mutHLS repair system and binds to diverse mismatches in DNA. The function of the mutL gene product is currently unclear but mutations in the gene abolish mutHLS -dependent repair. The absence of MutL severely reduces VSP repair but does not abolish it. Purified MutL appears to act catalytically to bind Vsr to its substrate; one-hundredth of an equivalent of MutL is sufficient to bring about a significant effect. MutL enhances binding of MutS to its substrate 6-fold but does so in a stoichiometric manner. Mutational studies indicate that the MutL interaction region lies within the N-terminal 330 amino acids and that the MutL multimerization region is at the C-terminal end. MutL mutant monomeric forms can stimulate MutS binding.
Ion beam fabrication of diamond probes for a scanning tunneling microscope (1991)

Ion beam fabrication methods combined with mechanical lapping and ion beam dynamic mixing have been developed to obtain diamond probes for a scanning tunneling microscope. Diamond styli for a surface profilometer were sharpened to a tip radius of approximately 10 nm using a Kaufman-type ion beam machining apparatus and were then coated with gold or platinum film by ion beam dynamic mixing in order to increase the electrical conductivity of the probe surface. The sharpened styli can be used as probes to obtain atomic STM images of HOPG (highly ordered pyrolytic graphite) in ambient air. Moreover, diamond probes coated with a gold or platinum film after ion beam sharpening can also be used to obtain atomic STM images of HOPG and topographical STM images of a steel gauge block coated with gold film in ambient air.
REDESIGN OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING FACADES. PREPARATION OF A VISUAL EXPERIMENT (2010)

Housing in Europe counts for 27% of the European energy consumptions which makes sustainable transformation of existing housing a relevant topic, especially in the view of the energy targets set for 2020. The energy efficiency as well as the architectural value of the post-war residential buildings is particularly poor, but since in the coming years this part of the stock will be renovated, there is a chance to improve the present performances of such blocks. To deal with energy efficiency, decay and livability problems improvements of building facades seem to be indicated. However, in order to deal with especially livability problems, it is not only relevant to consider technical aspects of faÁades but also involve residentsí preferences for architectural aesthetics. Important questions addressed in this study are to what extent are tenants willing to pay higher rent, and whether their willingness to pay higher rent depends on selected characteristics of facades that have a combined effect on the energy efficiency and the aesthetics value of buildings. In this paper it is reported the preparation of a visual experiment on the described issue and in particular the development of a questionnaire to asses preferences of tenants. For the development of the questionnaire it is adopted the Discrete Choice Method which is applied with the purpose of evaluating tenantsí preferences in innovative faÁade directed renovation approaches.
Gram-negative resistance and need for ICU among urinary tract infections in the United States (2013)

Urinary tract infection (UTI) can lead to both hospitalization and severe sepsis. We theorized that UTI due to Gram-negative (GN) multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDR-PA), extended-spectrum s-lactamase (ESBL), E. coli (EC) and Klebsiella sp. (KP), and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) would be frequently isolated in the ICU.
Effects of He-Ne laser irradiation on chromatin properties and synthesis of nucleic acids in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. (1991)

Irradiation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with an He-Ne laser (at 632.8 nm) at doses between 28 and 112 J m-2 caused changes in the chromatin during the first 6 h after exposure that were similar to those found after stimulation of the lymphocytes by phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), i.e. it increased chromatin accessibility to the low-molecular-mass ligand acridine orange (AO) and increased incorporation of the labelled RNA precursor [14C]uridine into the cells. The curves of AO-chromatin binding and RNA synthesis after either He-Ne irradiation with an He-Ne laser (56 J m-2) or PHA treatment were multipeak in nature. For the first 6 h after stimulation the curves for the two treatments were similar. After 7 h, the rate of RNA synthesis in laser-irradiated lymphocytes dropped to the control level, whereas in the PHA-stimulated cells [14C]uridine incorporation increased substantially. Unlike the case with PHA, treatment with an He-Ne laser did not induce resumption of DNA synthesis in lymphocytes. Lymphocytes irradiated by laser in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2) retained the level of labelled-thymidine incorporation characteristic of intact cells cultivated in the presence of IL-2. On the other hand, irradiation by an He-Ne laser produced a potentiating action on the response of peripheral blood lymphocytes to PHA, with thymidine incorporation being stimulated. This effect may explain the mechanism of wound healing by an He-Ne laser radiation: chromatin activation in the cells of wounds and ulcers makes these cells more responsive to the natural stimulators present in tissues.
Pleiotropic effects of the gene for retinoblastoma (1974)

Vigorous treatment of retinoblastoma in the last 30 years has resulted in a large population of survivors with useful vision, in which the late effects of genetically associated tumours can be seen. An increase in second primary tumours, mainly osteogenic sarcoma, has been found in those children who carry the germinal mutations, and not in the majority of survivors of unilateral disease. The findings indicate a pleiotropic effect of the retinoblastoma gene which may act as an initiator in two forms of neoplasia.
