Supporting L3 Femtocell Mobility Using the MOBIKE Protocol (2011)

Abstract—Femtocells can be used to improve the indoor coverage and bandwidth of 3G cellular networks in homes and buildings. They are designed to be placed in a fixed location. However, their use would also be interesting in mobile environments such as public transportation systems. This paper studies the mobility limitations at the layer 3 and suggests an approach to support mobility on femtocell networks. This solution employs the protocols already defined in the femtocell architecture, minimizing thus the impact on it. Index Terms—femtocell architecture, mobile femtocell, MOBIKE, IKEv2, IPsec. I.
Relationships between the structures of taxol and baccatine III derivatives and their in vitro action on the disassembly of mammalian brain and Physarum amoebal microtubules. (1984)

The in vitro disassembly of microtubules from mammalian brain and Physarum is inhibited by various derivatives of taxol and baccatine III. Structure-activity relationships of the taxol derivatives were identical for both mammalian brain and Physarum microtubules. This observation suggests that the site of action of taxol has been preserved during the evolution of these two different eukaryotic lines. The substituent at C-13 of taxol was required to prevent disassembly of brain microtubules with or without microtubule-associated proteins. In contrast, both taxol and baccatine III prevented the disassembly of Physarum microtubules to the same extent, showing that the substituent at C-13 was not required in the interaction with Physarum tubulin. The different effects of baccatine III and taxol derivatives indicate that measuring the disassembly of microtubules from different organisms could be a useful parameter in the search for derivatives exhibiting antiparasitic activity.
A Privacy Enhanced Service Architecture for Mobile Users (2005)

Location, presence and messaging services provide the essential ingredients for emerging information and communications services. Nevertheless, the users are concerned about revealing their actualized location, presence or contact address information, especially to non-trusted third party applications. In this paper we propose a privacy architecture to achieve unlinkability between services related to a certain user and the user identity itself. The architecture is based on a privacy service which is integrated in the telecom service architecture Parlay-X, currently being standardized by the Parlay Group, and a chained hash technique called PRIVES, well suited to run in small mobile devices.
Essential roles of the winged helix transcription factor MFH-1 in aortic arch patterning and skeletogenesis (1997)

Mesenchyme Fork Head-1 (MFH-1) is a forkhead (also called winged helix) transcription factor defined by a common 100-amino acid DNA-binding domain. MFH-1 is expressed in non-notochordal mesoderm in the prospective trunk region and in cephalic neural-crest and cephalic mesoderm-derived mesenchymal cells in the prechordal region of early embryos. Subsequently, strong expression is localized in developing cartilaginous tissues, kidney and dorsal aortas. To investigate the developmental roles of MFH-1 during embryogenesis, mice lacking the MFH-1 locus were generated by targeted mutagenesis. MFH-1-deficient mice died embryonically and perinatally, and exhibited interrupted aortic arch and skeletal defects in the neurocranium and the vertebral column. Interruption of the aortic arch seen in the mutant mice was the same as in human congenital anomalies. These results suggest that MFH-1 has indispensable roles during the extensive remodeling of the aortic arch in neural-crest-derived cells and in skeletogenesis in cells derived from the neural crest and the mesoderm.
Integration of High-Charge-Injection-Capacity Electrodes onto Polymer Softening Neural Interfaces (2015)

Softening neural interfaces are implanted stiff to enable precise insertion, and they soften in physiological conditions to minimize modulus mismatch with tissue. In this work, a high-charge-injection-capacity iridium electrode fabrication process is detailed. For the first time, this process enables integration of iridium electrodes onto softening substrates using photolithography to define all features in the device. Importantly, no electroplated layers are utilized, leading to a highly scalable method for consistent device fabrication. The iridium electrode is metallically bonded to the gold conductor layer, which is covalently bonded to the softening substrate via sulfur-based click chemistry. The resulting shape-memory polymer neural interfaces can deliver more than 2 billion symmetric biphasic pulses (100 μs/phase), with a charge of 200 μC/cm(2) and geometric surface area (GSA) of 300 μm(2). A transfer-by-polymerization method is used in combination with standard semiconductor processing techniques to fabricate functional neural probes onto a thiol-ene-based, thin film substrate. Electrical stability is tested under simulated physiological conditions in an accelerated electrical aging paradigm with periodic measurement of electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and charge storage capacity (CSC) at various intervals. Electrochemical characterization and both optical and scanning electron microscopy suggest significant breakdown of the 600 nm-thick parylene-C insulation, although no delamination of the conductors or of the final electrode interface was observed. Minor cracking at the edges of the thin film iridium electrodes was occasionally observed. The resulting devices will provide electrical recording and stimulation of the nervous system to better understand neural wiring and timing, to target treatments for debilitating diseases, and to give neuroscientists spatially selective and specific tools to interact with the body. This approach has uses for cochlear implants, nerve cuff electrodes, penetrating cortical probes, spinal stimulators, blanket electrodes for the gut, stomach, and visceral organs and a host of other custom nerve-interfacing devices.
Reverse Transcription-PCR-Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Rapid Detection and Differentiation of Alphavirus Infections (2006)

Due to the lack of a rapid, simple, and inexpensive assay for detecting alphavirus infections, we combined a reverse transcription-PCR with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (RT-PCR-ELISA) to identify human pathogenic alphaviruses that are endemic in the New World. By combining the sensitivity of PCR, the detection simplicity of ELISA, and the specificities of DNA probes, this method rapidly detected and differentiated closely related species and subtypes of several medically important alphaviruses. After an amplification using RT-PCR with primers targeting conserved sequences in the nonstructural protein 1 gene, sequence-specific, biotin-labeled probes targeted against Venezuelan, eastern, and western equine encephalitis or Mayaro virus genes were used for the detection of amplicons using ELISA. The assay is simple, fast, and easy to perform in an ordinary diagnostic laboratory or clinical setting. Nucleic acid derived from cell cultures infected with several alphaviruses, clinical specimens, and mosquito pools as well as frozen and paraffin-embedded animal tissues were detected and identified within 6 to 7 h in a sensitive and specific manner.
Control and optimization of baths for electrodeposition of Co-Mo-B amorphous alloys (2000)

Optimization and control of an electrodeposition process for depositing boron-containing amorphous metallic layer of cobalt-molybdenum alloy onto a cathode from an electrolytic bath having cobalt sulfate, sodium molybdate, boron phosphate, sodium citrate, 1-dodecylsulfate-Na, ammonium sulfate and ammonia or sulfuric acid for pH adjustments has been studied. Detailed studies on bath composition, pH, temperature, mechanical agitation and cathode current density have led to optimum conditions for obtaining satisfactory alloy deposits. These alloys were found to have interesting properties such as high hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and also sufficient ductility. A voltammetric method for automatic monitoring and control of the process has been proposed.
<title>Performance evaluation of a vision dimension metrology system</title> (1991)

A performance evaluation approach for a vision metrology system has been developed for the application of automated dimensional inspection. The approach is designed so that parameters and conditions, when the system functions as planned or fails, are clear and well understood. Statistical stability of the measured object properties as well as the overall system error are analyzed.
Magnetotransport properties of Co–Fe∕Al–N∕Co–Fe tunnel junctions with large tunnel magnetoresistance ratio (2004)

The magnetotransport properties of tunnel junctions with the structure of Ta 5nm∕Cu20nm∕Ta 5nm∕Ni76Fe242nm∕Cu 5nm∕Mn75Ir2510nm∕Co71Fe29 4nm∕Al–N∕Co71Fe29 4nm∕Ni76Fe2420nm∕Ta5nm were investigated. When the Al thickness, nitridation time, and annealing temperature were 1nm(0.8nm), 50s(35s), and 280°C(300°C), tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio and resistance-area product were 49%(34%) and 3×104Ωμm2(1.5×104Ωμm2), respectively. In order to clarify the annealing temperature dependence of TMR ratio, the local transport properties were studied using conducting atomic force microscope for Ta5nm∕Cu20nm∕Ta5nm∕Ni76Fe242nm∕Cu5nm∕Mn75Ir25 10nm∕Co71Fe29 4nm∕Al(0.8nm)–N junction fabricated with the nitridation time of 35s and Ar+N2 plasma as a function of annealing temperature. The large TMR at 300°C, where the TMR ratio of the corresponding magnetic tunnel junction had the maximum value of 34%, could be well elucidated by the enhancement of the average barrier height ϕave, and the reduction of its fluctuation. After annealing at 340°C, the leakage current was observed and the TMR ratio decreased.
Integral Equation Methods in Potential Theory and Elastostatics (1978)

This is an introductory text which should be accessible to beginning graduate students and most seniors in the mechanically based branches of engineering.While the reviewer would prefer, especially for an introduction, a more pedantic style which clearly delineates between primitives, definitions, axioms, theorems, and proofs, the conversational tone adopted here has proven to be more generally palatable to both students and teachers; and it is predicted that An Introduction to Therrnomechanics will enjoy the same wide acceptance as Professor Ziegler's other books.The first three chapters, on mathematics, kinematics, and kinetics, are based on Prager's Introduction to Mechanics of Continua.The next two chapters are concerned with thermodynamics and material properties.Chapters 6-11 are brief treatments of ideal liquids, linear elasticity, inviscid gases, viscous fluids, plasticity, and viscoelasticity.Chapters 12 and 13, on general tensors and large displacements, are fashioned after Theoretical Elasticity by Green and Zerna.Chapters 14 and 15 are devoted to a presentation of Ziegler's own notion of thermodynamic orthogonality and its immediate consequences.Finally, the last three chapters provide second looks at non-Newtonian fluids, plasticity, and viscoelasticity in light of the orthogonality principle.Of course, the thermodynamical aspects of therrnomechanics are still fraught with controversy, and there are even strong opinions on how best to develop the generally accepted mechanical aspects of the subject.The author has wisely chosen to present his views directly without criticism of or comparison to other approaches.However, the reviewer did notice several slips which transcend the realms of controversy and taste.In the development of stress, Cauchy's lemma (Newton's third law of action and reaction) is tacitly assumed.In the 'development of heat conduction, it is directly assumed that the heat flow per unit area is the inner product of the heat flux vector and the surface normal.This is analogous to starting with the stress tensor and then assuming that it operates on the normal to produce the stress vector.The concept of material frame-indifference does not appear at all in the book.Finally, both the printing and binding of the review copy were poorly done.
Direct Charge Measurement in Floating Gate Transistors of Flash EEPROM Using Scanning Electron Microscopy (2016)

Abstract We present a characterization methodology for fast direct measurement of the charge accumulated on Floating Gate (FG) transistors of Flash EEPROM cells. Using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in Passive Voltage Contrast (PVC) mode we were able to distinguish between '0' and '1' bit values stored in each memory cell. Moreover, it was possible to characterize the remaining charge on the FG; thus making this technique valuable for Failure Analysis applications for data retention measurements in Flash EEPROM. The technique is at least two orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) methods. Only a relatively simple backside sample preparation is necessary for accessing the FG of memory transistors. The technique presented was successfully implemented on a 0.35 μm technology node microcontroller and a 0.21 μm smart card integrated circuit. We also show the ease of such technique to cover all cells of a memory (using intrinsic features of SEM) and to automate memory cells characterization using standard image processing technique.
Regulation of cell division of mature B cells by ionomycin and phorbol ester (1992)

The growth of a human B lymphoma cell line B104, an experimental model for mature B cells, was inhibited by ionomycin but not 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Ionomycin inhibited B104 cells from entering into the M phase of the cell cycle without affecting DNA synthesis. The inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by ionomycin occurred within 24 h after stimulation. Because such a mode of action resembles that of anti-IgM antibodies, signals transduced by Ca2+ may be responsible for the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by anti-IgM antibodies. Indeed, EGTA suppressed the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells caused not only by ionomycin, but also by anti-IgM antibody. Although TPA itself did not have any ability to promote the growth of B104 cells, it could cancel the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by ionomycin and increase the proportion of B104 cells entering into the M phase of the cell cycle. Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I causes the greatest proliferation of normal human peripheral blood B cells during the period from 48 to 72 h after stimulation. When ionomycin was added to S. aureus Cowan I-stimulated peripheral blood B cells at 48 h of culture, it inhibited cell division during this period without affecting DNA synthesis. In the presence of TPA, this activity of ionomycin was suppressed, and the proportion of M-phase cells increased. These results suggest that cell division of mature B cells is regulated by the signals mediated by Ca2+ and protein kinase C in a mode quite different from that of regulation of DNA synthesis.
Risk - Transformative Practices: The Element of Chance (2000)

As viewers we usually approach objects not just prepared, but already engaged both physically and emotionally. Artists work with an awareness of this preparation for engagement and create pieces which might confirm or challenge the viewer's approach. In the exhibition RISK-Transformative Practices there is a particular mix to this play of challenge and confirmation.
What happens to expired medications? A survey of community medication disposal. (1996)

Improperly disposed-of expired medications pose a significant risk to children. To determine how expired medications are disposed of, 500 callers to our poison information center, 100 community and hospital pharmacies, the state Boards of Pharmacy, and the FDA and EPA were surveyed about medication disposal habits. Of the 500 people polled, 1.4% returned medications to a pharmacy, 54% disposed of medications in the garbage, 35.4% flushed medications down the toilet or sink, 7.2% did not dispose of medications, and 2% related they used all medications before expiration. Of the 100 pharmacies surveyed, all but 3% had specific policies on the disposal of undispensed expired medications, which were usually returned to the producer. Alternative disposal means used for nonreturnable medications were incineration (15%), hazardous waste disposal contracts (17%), and conventional solid waste disposal or down the toilet (68%). Only 5% of the 100 pharmacies had consistent recommendations for their customers on drug disposal; 25% of the pharmacies indicated questions on drug disposal were handled by individual pharmacists only upon consumer request. A variety of drug disposal techniques were encountered in our survey. Pharmacies had specific policies for expired undispensed pharmaceuticals, but lacked uniform guidelines. Little information on the safe disposal of medications was routinely passed on to the public. Uniform guidelines need to be created for the safe disposal of expired medications and should be included in routine consumer education provided by poison information centers and pharmacies.
Effect of chloride concentration and pH on pitting corrosion of waste package container materials (1996)

Electrochemical cyclic potentiodynamic polarization experiments were performed on several candidate waste package container materials to evaluate their susceptibility to pitting corrosion at 90 degrees C in aqueous environments relevant to the potential underground high-level nuclear waste repository. Results indicate that of all the materials tested, Alloy C-22 and Ti Grade-12 exhibited the maximum corrosion resistance, showing no pitting or observable corrosion in any environment tested. Efforts were also made to study the effect of chloride ion concentration and pH on the measured corrosion potential (Ecorr), critical pitting and protection potential values.
Decoding ARE-mediated decay: is microRNA part of the equation? (2008)

Messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) containing adenine/uridine-rich elements (AREs) in their 3' untranslated region are particularly labile, allowing for the regulation of expression for growth factors, oncoproteins, and cytokines. The regulators, effectors, and location of ARE-mediated decay (AMD) have been investigated by many groups in recent years, and several links have been found between AMD and microRNA-mediated decay. We highlight these similarities, along with recent advances in the field of AMD, and also mention how there is still much left unknown surrounding this specialized mode of mRNA decay.

Oral supplementation with a combination of l-citrulline and l-arginine rapidly increases plasma l-arginine concentration and enhances NO bioavailability (2014)

Our data show for the first time that a combination of oral L-citrulline and L-arginine effectively and rapidly augments NO-dependent responses at the acute stage. This approach may have clinical utility for the regulation of cardiovascular function in humans.
Experimental Study of Intra- vs. Inter-Superchannel Spectral Equalization in Flexible Grid Systems (2013)

Benefits of intra-superchannel spectral-equalization are demonstrated in a production 8Tbps system. ~1.2dB OSNR improvement and ~4.5dB reduction in power-spread is measured relative to inter-superchannel equalization. Tradeoff between OSNR and nonlinearity dictates the net reach improvement.
Use of acyclovir for prophylaxis of herpes infections in severely immunocompromised patients (1983)

Two consecutive studies are reported. In study 1, 59 patients with acute leukaemia undergoing remission induction therapy or bone marrow transplantation were given either acyclovir (5 mg/kg) or placebo by intravenous infusion twice daily during the period of neutropenia. All patients were seropositive (greater than or equal to 1:8) for herpes simplex virus. Acyclovir provided total protection against herpes simplex virus infection in bone marrow transplant patients with 0/10 versus 5/10 infections in the placebo group (P = 0.033). For the remission induction therapy group 2/19 on acyclovir developed HSV versus 10/20 receiving placebo (P = 0.018). Only one episode of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was seen and this was in a patient on acyclovir. Epstein-Barr virus secretion studies were inconclusive. No varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections were seen. In Study 2, 20 consecutive HSV seropositive (greater than or equal to 1:8) bone marrow transplant recipients received oral acyclovir. Five (25%) developed HSV infections, one of which was in a non-compliant patient, who subsequently developed a fatal infection whilst receiving therapeutic (5 mg/kg 8 hourly) intravenous acyclovir for this HSV infection. Intravenous acyclovir is effective in preventing HSV infections in the immunocompromised host but it seems unlikely that CMV will be amenable to acyclovir in its present formulation.
Production of Molybdenum Trioxide Nanosheets by Liquid Exfoliation and Their Application in High-Performance Supercapacitors (2014)

Here, we demonstrate a simple method to exfoliate layered molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) crystallites to give multilayer MoO3 nanosheets dispersed in solvents. Exfoliation is achieved by sonicating MoO3 powder in the presence of suitable solvents followed by centrifugation to remove undispersed material. This procedure works well in a range of solvents with Hildebrand solubility parameters close to 21 MPa1/2 and is consistent with the predictions of classical solubility theory. We have fully optimized this process and demonstrated methods to separate the resultant nanosheets by size. Raman spectroscopy suggests the exfoliation process does not damage the MoO3. This is supported by measurements showing that the reaggregated nanosheets display very similar photoluminescence to bulk MoO3. However, the dispersed nanosheets had distinctly different photoluminescence, indicating a decoupling of the monolayers on exfoliation. We have used liquid-exfoliated MoO3 to prepare supercapacitor electrodes that have relatively low capacitance (∼2 F/g at 10 mV/s) because of the low electrical conductivity of the MoO3. However, addition of carbon nanotubes beyond the percolation threshold yielded a 100-fold increase in capacitance. Some MoO3/nanotube composites displayed a capacitance as high as 540 F/g at 0.1 mV/s. This is the first example of solvent exfoliation of a layered metal oxide. We believe this work opens the way to liquid exfoliation of a wide range of layered compounds, leading to an array of new solution-processed 2D materials.
Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG): A description of the register of the nation-wide programme for primary breast cancer (1988)

An account of the criteria for protocol allocation and of the various treatments in the DBCG programme is given together with some numerical representations. Furthermore the article explains how the DBCG programme has been run, including its randomization. Finally there is a description of the calculation of recurrence-free survival and survival. It is concluded that in the nation-wide programme there are only minor methodological errors, and that the conclusions based on the therapeutic outcome of the different therapies are reliable.
