Extended abstract: Circuit CAD tools as a security threat (2008)

The demand for trusted and tamper-resistant computing platforms has placed security at the leading edge of research and industrial practice. Reported hardware-security breaches have already led to loss of confidential information, identity theft, intercepted cellular communications, and IP burglary. Our work demonstrates that ICs can be easily compromised by tampering with CAD tools or scripts that run these tools, suggesting that developing effective countermeasures against such attacks is a major research challenge. Our work is especially relevant to industrial uses of open-source EDA.

11,12-Secoprostaglandins. 2. N-Acyl-N-alkyl-7-aminoheptanoic acids (1977)

A series of N-acyl-N-alkyl-7-aminoheptanoic acids has been prepared and evaluated for their ability to mimic the natural prostaglandins in certain biological systems. These compounds can be regarded as 8-aza-11,12-secoprostaglandins and, indeed, most of them stimulate cAMP formation in the mouse ovary assay, just as is observed with the natural prostaglandins. Selected compounds from this series also have been studied and shown to have prostaglandin-like effects in vivo.
Action in Cheese Ripening of an Enzyme Preparation from Chicken Proventriculi, including Manufacture of a New Type Cheese—Savoureux (1943)

Summary Chicken proventriculi contain a milk-coagulating enzyme that is readily obtained in a form that can be used in coagulating milk for cheese. With a modified edam process, the enzyme preparations gave a type of cheese that is rather distinct in its general properties, the outstanding character being the soft, waxy body which permits spreading when the cheese is not too cold. The cheese is believed to have commercial possibilities, and the name SAVOUREUX is suggested for it.
Biotechnology in forestry: Examples from the Canadian Forest Service (1996)

As a general trend, research activities related to biotechnology in the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) have increased significantly during the last decade as illustrated by a marked increase in resources committed to this field and in the number of publications produced by the scientists involved. The three areas covered by CFS biotechnological activities are forest regeneration, forest protection and environmental impact assessment. In forest regeneration, the tissue culture of conifers using somatic embryogenesis is a good example of potential application of biotechnology to conventional tree improvement. This technology is being used on a large scale in British Columbia and involves private firms such as BC Research Inc. Other technologies are also being developed such as genetic engineering which eventually will allow the incorporation of advantageous traits into trees which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to achieve. In forest protection, Bacillus thuringiensis is a well known success of biotechnology. This bacterium is used as a biopesticide in Canada to control spruce budworm and gypsy moth. Its use has been increasing during the last few decades and, with the phasing out of chemical insecticides for forestry use, Bacillus thuringiensis will become one of the few alternatives available for insect control. Insect viruses are also becoming more attractive for the biological control of forest pests. The CFS has registered three viruses for forestry use and the next generation of viruses will be genetically engineered to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. The last area of activity encompasses environmental impact studies of biotechnology products for forestry use. The CFS has been a pioneer in the development of microcosms (soil and aquatic) for studying microbial pesticides used to evaluate the impact of engineered biopesticides. Key words: biotechnology, genetic engineering, biopesticides, molecular biology, tissue culture, microcosm, regulation, environmental impact
Wide Feature Dielectric Planarization using MnO2 Slurry (1996)

We used MnO2 slurry for dielectric planarization. We found that MnO2 slurry has an ample removal rate at a low polishing pressure, whereas conventional slurry does not. Therefore, MnO 2 slurry can planarize dielectric more completely, with less lower level removal than conventional slurry
A Vertical-Energy-Thresholding Procedure for Data Reduction With Multiple Complex Curves (2006)

Due to the development of sensing and computer technology, measurements of many process variables are available in current manufacturing processes. It is very challenging, however, to process a large amount of information in a limited time in order to make decisions about the health of the processes and products. This paper develops a "preprocessing" procedure for multiple sets of complicated functional data in order to reduce the data size for supporting timely decision analyses. The data type studied has been used for fault detection, root-cause analysis, and quality improvement in such engineering applications as automobile and semiconductor manufacturing and nanomachining processes. The proposed vertical-energy-thresholding (VET) procedure balances the reconstruction error against data-reduction efficiency so that it is effective in capturing key patterns in the multiple data signals. The selected wavelet coefficients are treated as the "reduced-size" data in subsequent analyses for decision making. This enhances the ability of the existing statistical and machine-learning procedures to handle high-dimensional functional data. A few real-life examples demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed procedure compared to several ad hoc techniques extended from single-curve-based data modeling and denoising procedures.
Interaction of the Crystalline Bacterial Cell Surface Layer Protein SbsB and the Secondary Cell Wall Polymer of <i>Geobacillus stearothermophilus</i> PV72 Assessed by Real-Time Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor Technology (2004)

The interaction between S-layer protein SbsB and the secondary cell wall polymer (SCWP) of Geobacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p2 was investigated by real-time surface plasmon resonance biosensor technology. The SCWP is an acidic polysaccharide that contains N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylmannosamine, and pyruvic acid. For interaction studies, recombinant SbsB (rSbsB) and two truncated forms consisting of either the S-layer-like homology (SLH) domain (3SLH) or the residual part of SbsB were used. Independent of the setup, the data showed that the SLH domain was exclusively responsible for SCWP binding. The interaction was found to be highly specific, since neither the peptidoglycan nor SCWPs from other organisms nor other polysaccharides were recognized. Data analysis from that setup in which 3SLH was immobilized on a sensor chip and SCWP represented the soluble analyte was done in accordance with a model that describes binding of a bivalent analyte to a fixed ligand in terms of an overall affinity for all binding sites. The measured data revealed the presence of at least two binding sites on a single SCWP molecule with a distance of about 14 nm and an overall Kd of 7.7 x 10(-7) M. Analysis of data from the inverted setup in which the SCWP was immobilized on a sensor chip was done in accordance with an extension of the heterogeneous-ligand model, which indicated the existence of three binding sites with low (Kd = 2.6 x 10(-5) M), medium (Kd = 6.1 x 10(-8) M), and high (Kd = 6.7 x 10(-11) M) affinities. Since in this setup 3SLH was the soluble analyte and the presence of small amounts of oligomers in even monomeric protein solutions cannot be excluded, the high-affinity binding site may result from avidity effects caused by binding of at least dimeric 3SLH. Solution competition assays performed with both setups confirmed the specificity of the protein-carbohydrate interaction investigated.

A memory efficient Fine Grain Scalability coefficient encoding method for H.264/AVC Scalable Video Extension (2009)

In this paper, a memory efficient Fine Grain Scalability (FGS) coefficient encoding method is proposed to reduce the external memory access requirement. In the H.264/AVC Scalable Video Extension, the FGS coefficients encoding is frame based. However, the frame based mechanism results in the difficulty of hardware implementation due to large internal memory requirements and external memory accesses. Therefore, a non-uniform memory size design which can achieve low external memory access is proposed to realize the macroblock based FGS coefficients encoding. Compared to previous work, our proposed method can save at least 38 KB external memory accesses per frame in average.
HIGH SPEED DISPENSER SYSTEM USING VLSI DEVICES FOR EW APPLICATIONS (2011)

In present war scenario, Electronic Warfare plays a vital role. With advancement in the missile technology, the present day missiles having enhanced speed, performance and maneuverability. In order to tackle these advanced missiles the existing Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) are also needed to be upgraded. EW dispenser system is being used to dispensing IR Flare, Chaff and Electro-Optic (EO) material. However the present day dispenser systems suffer from the drawback of high firing interval and capacity of carrying and fire either Flare or Chaff or EO. This paper discusses the high speed dispenser system using automation tools and VLSI devices by which these dispensers can dispense at high speed and have simultaneous firing.
Detection of B‐lymphocytes secreting antibodies to<i>Dermatophagoides</i>antigens (1991)

An enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELI-spot assay) has been established to count individual cells secreting antibodies to Dermatophagoides spp. allergens. Initial optimization of the assay was performed using Der p I-specific murine hybridoma cell lines. Inhibition with soluble purified allergen demonstrated that spot formation was specific. Addition of cycloheximide showed that spot formation was due to antibodies actively produced and secreted and not caused by preformed surface-associated Ig. An analogous method was used to count immunoglobulin-secreting cells (IgSC) of any specificity, and the number of circulating IgSC was measured in young healthy subjects. The results (means) were 331 IgM-SC, 532 IgG-SC, 850 IgA-SC and less than 1 IgE-SC per 10(6) mononuclear cells (MNC). Initial experiments performed with blood from patients undergoing immunotherapy with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus Alutard, showed that 1 week after injection, circulating allergen-specific antibody-secreting cells (AbSC) were detected with this assay. The ranges were between 1 and 13 IgM-, 2 and 20 IgG- and 20 and 55 IgA allergen-specific AbSC per 10(6) MNC. It is expected that this assay will help to understand more thoroughly the basic immunological mechanisms behind the efficacy of immunotherapy.
Graph-based map matching for indoor positioning (2015)

This article presents a probabilistic motion model that is based on an economical graph-based indoor map representation, such that the motion of the user is constrained according to the floor plan of a building. The floor plan is modeled as a combination of links and open space polygons that are connected by nodes. In the authors' earlier work the link transition probabilities in this graph are proportional to the total link lengths that are the total lengths of the subgraphs accessible by choosing the considered link option, and this article extends this model to include open space polygons as well. A particle filter using the extended motion model in which all particles are constrained according to the map structure is presented. Furthermore, wireless local area network and Bluetooth Low Energy positioning tests show that the proposed algorithm outperforms comparison methods especially if the measurement rate is low.

Measuring semantic similarity using wordnet-based context vectors (2007)

Semantic relatedness between words or concepts is a fundamental problem in many applications of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence. In this paper, a new measure based on the semantic ontology database WordNet is proposed which combines gloss information of concepts with semantic relationships, and organizes concepts as highdimensional vectors. Other relatedness measures are compared and an experimental evaluation against several benchmark sets of human similarity ratings is presented. The Context Vector measure is shown to have one of the best performances.
Excipients for Direct Compaction—an Update (2006)

In 1996, Bolhuis and Chowhan compiled a review of excipients that were used for the direct compaction of tablets. This article updates that review because since that time there has been considerable activity in this area. New single component and coprocessed filler-binders have been introduced. In addition, there have been advances in the understanding of how such substances act and hence how they can be optimally designed.

The measurements of electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficients of Ag- and Cu-doped compounds $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{({\text{Zn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{M}_{x})}_{4}{\text{Sb}}_{3}$ $(M=\text{Ag},\text{Cu};\text{ }x=0,0.0025,0.005,0.01)$ were carried out, and the results indicated that both their resistivity and Seebeck coefficients increase first ($x\ensuremath{\le}0.0025$ for Ag and $x\ensuremath{\le}0.005$ for Cu) and then decrease obviously with further increase in their doping content. Correspondingly, hole concentration behaviors in the opposite way. In terms of the one vacancy-two interstitial Zn atom model: ${\text{A}}_{11}{\text{BCSb}}_{10}$ and two-vacancy-three-interstitial Zn atom model: ${\text{A}}_{10}{\text{BCDSb}}_{10}$ (here A is normal Zn atom and B, C, and D interstitial Zn atoms) proposed by Cargnoni et al. [Chem. Eur. J. 10, 3861 (2004)], first-principles calculations were performed on the occupation options of Ag and Cu atoms in disordered $\ensuremath{\beta}{\text{-Zn}}_{4}{\text{Sb}}_{3}$. The results indicated that both Ag and Cu atoms occupy preferentially the Zn vacancies in normal sites. Subsequently, Ag and Cu atoms will substitute for interstitial atoms D (for Ag) and B (for Cu). The calculations also showed that as Ag and Cu atoms fill Zn vacancies they play the role of donors, leading to a decrease in hole concentration; while Ag and Cu atoms replace the interstitial atoms they act as acceptors resulting in an increase in hole concentration, which are in good agreement with the nonmonotonous change behavior in the transport properties and Hall carrier concentrations observed experimentally. In addition, calculations revealed that Cu instead of Ag can also fill the Zn vacancies with smaller volumes and Cu doping nearly always has lower formation energies than Ag, which could give a reasonable explanation for the higher solubility of Cu than that of Ag in $\ensuremath{\beta}{\text{-Zn}}_{4}{\text{Sb}}_{3}$.
Cable sizing-avoid shortcuts and do it right (2002)

The task of selecting power cable and wire types along with the sizing of the conductors for specific applications is a very important part of the design of any electrical system. Unfortunately, this is a task that is often performed with a minimum of effort and with little consideration for all of the relevant design issues. The resulting tragedy is that improper selection and sizing can easily increase the installed cost of a facility while also reducing the reliability of the complete system. This paper outlines some of the considerations that should be applied to cable selection each and every time. It then suggests the design for a computer based tool which will facilitate the selection process without resorting to simplifications. The conclusion is that cable and wire can be readily sized properly if the power of personal computers are used to evaluate the various criteria and economic options.
HOLOGRAPHIC PATTERN FIXING IN ELECTRO-OPTIC CRYSTALS (1971)

This paper describes the results of an investigation into techniques for obtaining erasure resistant holograms in electro-optic crystals. The most successful approach made use of thermally activated ionic drift during or after recording. The samples are heated for about 30 min at 100°C to obtain optically nonerasable holograms with as much as 50% diffraction efficiency in LiNbO3 or in doped Ba2NaNb5O15.
Improvement of doxorubicin induced cardiomyopathy in rats treated with insulin-like growth factor I (1993)

Production of Candida antarctica Lipase B Gene Open Reading Frame using Automated PCR Gene Assembly Protocol on Robotic Workcell and Expression in an Ethanologenic Yeast for use as Resin-Bound Biocatalyst in Biodiesel Production (2010)

A synthetic Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) gene open reading frame (ORF) for expression in yeast was constructed, and the lycotoxin-1 (Lyt-1) C3 variant gene ORF, potentially to improve the availability of the active enzyme at the surface of the yeast cell, was added in frame with the CALB ORF using an automated PCR assembly and DNA purification protocol on an integrated robotic workcell. Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains expressing CALB protein or CALB Lyt-1 fusion protein were first grown on 2% (w/v) glucose, producing 9.3 g/L ethanol during fermentation. The carbon source was switched to galactose for GAL1-driven expression, and the CALB and CALB Lyt-1 enzymes expressed were tested for fatty acid ethyl ester (biodiesel) production. The synthetic enzymes catalyzed the formation of fatty acid ethyl esters from ethanol and either corn or soybean oil. It was further demonstrated that a one-step-charging resin, specifically selected for binding to lipase, was capable of covalent attachment of the CALB Lyt-1 enzyme, and that the resin-bound enzyme catalyzed the production of biodiesel. High-level expression of lipase in an ethanologenic yeast strain has the potential to increase the profitability of an integrated biorefinery by combining bioethanol production with coproduction of a low-cost biocatalyst that converts corn oil to biodiesel.
Diversity‐Oriented Synthesis of Various Enantiopure Heterocycles by Coupling Organocatalysis with Multicomponent Reactions (2017)

Chiral, enantiopure 1,3‐amino alcohols, obtained through an organocatalytic Mannich reaction, have been used as starting materials for a concise sequence involving a diastereoselective Ugi reaction followed by various types of S N 2 cyclization. In this way, different enantiopure heterocycles have been prepared, with both scaffold and decoration diversity (up to four diversity inputs).
