Adaptable ferroelectric memories for space applications (2005)

Test results on a 1 kilobit prototype hardened-by-design ferroelectric memory show that the total dose hardness exceeds 2 Mrads and latch-up immunity exceeds 163 LET. Based on the proven prototype memory design concepts, a 2 Mbit hardened-by-design ferroelectric memory for space applications is being designed for fabrication on the 0.13 /spl mu/m ferroelectric process of Texas Instruments. A subsequent chip design is expected to be at a 32 Mbit density. Using die stack packaging techniques, components at densities up to 256 Mbits based on this design may be developed. The basic ferroelectric memory core can be combined with on-chip interface circuitry to emulate any number of traditional semiconductor memory architectures, including SRAM, SDRAM, EEPROM and Flash memory, for applications ranging from small boot memories to high-density mass memories. The very fast read and write times of ferroelectric memory, coupled with the ability to trade off internal write voltage with retention and endurance, enable an adaptable ferroelectric memory technology. Texas Instrument's design rules for ferroelectric memory processes at 0.13 /spl mu/m and 0.09 /spl mu/m are competitive with the most aggressive design rules used for other semiconductor memory types.
Towards Understanding Emotional Intelligence for Behavior Change Chatbots (2019)

A natural conversational interface that allows longitudinal symptom tracking would be extremely valuable in health/wellness applications. However, the task of designing emotionally-aware agents for behavior change is still poorly understood. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of an emotion-aware chatbot that conducts experience sampling in an empathetic manner. We evaluate it through a human-subject experiment with N=39 participants over the course of a week. Our results show that extraverts preferred the emotion-aware chatbot significantly more than introverts. Also, participants reported a higher percentage of positive mood reports when interacting with the empathetic bot. Finally, we provide guidelines for the design of emotion-aware chatbots for potential use in mHealth contexts.
Widely tunable EAM-integrated SGDBR laser transmitter for analog applications (2003)

A widely tuneable electroabsorption-modulated sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector laser, integrated with a semiconductor optical amplifier is characterized for analog applications. The wavelength can be tuned anywhere from 1522 to 1573 nm. The suboctave spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is between 125-127 dBHz/sup 4/5/ measured at eight sampled wavelengths over the tuning range. The broad-band SFDR is in the range of 103-107 dBHz/sup 2/3/ limited by third-order intermodulation products or 95-98 dBHz/sup 1/2/, limited by second-order intermodulation products.
Metabolism and biologic effects of 5-oxoeicosanoids on human neutrophils (1996)

5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a recently discovered metabolite of arachidonic acid that activates human neutrophils by a mechanism independent of the receptor for leukotriene B4 (LTB4). The objectives of this study were to identify the major metabolites of 5-oxo-ETE in neutrophils and to compare the biologic activities of 5-oxo-ETE with those of its metabolites and other 5-oxoeicosanoids. Neutrophils rapidly converted 5-oxo-ETE to its omega-oxidation product, 5-oxo-20-hydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z- eicosatetraenoic acid. This compound was nearly 100 times less potent than 5-oxo-ETE in elevating cytosolic calcium levels in neutrophils. Methylation of the carboxyl group of 5-oxo-ETE resulted in a 20-fold loss of potency, whereas replacement of the 8,9-cis double bond by a trans double bond reduced potency by about sixfold. Similar results were obtained for the effects of the above compounds on neutrophil migration. 5-Oxo-20-hydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z- eicosatetraenoic acid, 5-oxo-8-trans-ETE, and 5-oxo-ETE methyl ester desensitized neutrophils to 5-oxo-ETE. 5-Oxo-ETE-induced calcium mobilization was inhibited by pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin. 5-Oxo metabolites of 6-trans-LTB4 and 12-epi-6-trans-LTB4 had weak stimulatory effects on calcium levels and migration that appeared to be mediated primarily by stimulation of LTB4 receptors. These studies indicate that the 5-oxo group, the omega-end of the molecule, and the carboxyl group are all important for the biologic activity of 5-oxo-ETE, which may be mediated by a G protein-linked receptor. The biologic activity of 5-oxo-ETE can be terminated by omega-oxidation.
Colors of Ag<sup>+</sup>-Exchanged Zeolite A (2000)

UV/vis spectra of hydrated and activated Ag+xNa+12-xA, Ag+xCa2+6-0.5xA, and Ag+9.5ZK-4 materials were studied. Any absorption band or color observed in silver zeolite A materials is due to the presence of silver ions. The marked site preference of ions in Ag+xCa2+6-0.5xA was found to offer the unique possibility of investigating different coordination sites of Ag+ ions in zeolite A. Observations we made lead to the result that Ag+ coordinated to 6- and 8-ring oxygens gives rise to electronic transitions in the near-UV region. Only Ag+ coordinated to 4-ring oxygens leads to the 22 000 cm-1 absorption responsible for the typical deep yellow color. The red color which is caused by a strong absorption band at 19 000 cm-1 is observed if a 4-ring coordinated Ag+ has a second Ag+ as a neighbor. We assume that the second Ag+ is at a 6-ring site. Yellow and red colored materials turn colorless again when exposed to humidity. The reversibility is complete for the yellow samples while a broad but weak absorption in the near-UV remains after rehydration of the red samples. Molecular orbital calculations were carried out on a unit structure cell consisting of 1296 atoms. The occupied frontier orbital region consists mainly of two bunches of levels: the HOMO region which spreads from about −11 to − 12.6 eV and the next lower lying levels below −13.6 eV. The HOMO region consists of oxygen lone pairs O(n). We find that 6-ring coordinated Ag+ gives rise to near-UV electronic transitions and 4-ring coordinated Ag+ causes a band in the visible. These transitions can be interpreted as charge transfer from zeolite oxygen lone pairs to Ag+. We therefore denote them as Ag+(5s) ← O(n) LMCT.

Automatic Evaluation Based on Computer Science (2014)

In this paper, we develop an automatic system which could help us to select or evaluate the most suitable target from a variety of candidates. Above all, we carry out an analytic hierarchy process including 3 levels with different factors. After combing with fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, we rank the candidates with final scores. More specifically, taking the selection of the best coaches of football in American universities as an example, a hierarchical structure it built, with coaches’ comprehensive capacity being the target level, their technical skills, competition records, and personal influence being criteria level, coaching experience, teams’ improvement factors, win-loss percentage, participation in highly-demanding competitions and awards of coaches being the corresponding index level. Then, we use cluster analysis to determine threshold of each index, and combine trapezoidal distribution function with fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to obtain the membership degree of the following five sectors: fully equipped, equipped, basically equipped, poorly equipped, not at all equipped. After scoring each coach, we obtain the final rank
[Multivariable analysis of survival in patients with transitional cell bladder carcinoma]. (1995)

In 82 transitional cell bladder cancer patients with adequate follow-up, the prognostic value of histological grade, depth of invasion, size, site, appearance, number of primary tumours, surgical treatment and ages of patients were assessed. Univariable analysis showed the statistically significant relation of histological grade, depth of invasion, size, site, appearance and number of tumours to survival. Survival analysis with Cox's regression model indicated that the histological grade is the most important prognostic factor, followed by site of tumours and depth of invasion. The results suggest that the information of site should not be omitted.
Deriving accurate work functions from thin-slab calculations (1999)

Quantum-size effects have been shown to influence significantly the determination of work functions from thin-slab calculations. We show here that a technique based on macroscopic averages can be used to reduce such effects and determine more precisely the work functions of metals from ab initio thin-film calculations. The technique combines the mean electrostatic potential step across the slab surface with the Fermi energy of a bulk crystal. The method is applied to Al(100) slabs containing 1-14 atomic layers.

Pd / Co 다층박막의 구조 분석 (1993)

The structure of Pd/Co multilayer thin films prepared by thermal evaporation was analyzed, compared with the theoretical calculation based on the ideal superlattice structure. The FWHM(Full Width at Half Maximum) of the diffracted peaks for the multilayer films was larger than that of the ideal superlattice, and it was largely affected by the fluctuation of the period of the multilayer film. The fluctuation increased with the period of the film and the lattice mismatch between two sublayers. As increasing the period, the coherent length of superlattice structure was decreased. The observation of the satellite peaks was difficult when the films had small period(Δ$lt;15Å) because the intensity of the structure factor at the satellite peak position is much smaller than that at the main peak position. The Pd underlayer reduced the disorders in the film and therefore the coherence length of the superstructure was increased.
Characterization of dihydroxystearic acid from palm oleic acid (2001)

Abstract Dihydroxystearic acid (DHSA) was prepared from palm oleic acid and characterized by chromatographic and spectroscopic methods (gas chromatography, thin‐layer chromatography, Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) as well as wet chemistry. The crude product has a melting point of 62°C, acid value of 179, saponification value of 178, and hydroxyl value of 196. The yield was about 90% based on unsaturation. The product obtained was found to contain DHSA, saturated fatty acids, and unknown products. DHSA is soluble in alcohol, and its solubility decreased by increasing the alcohol chain length. An irritancy test of DHSA indicated that purified DHSA is nonirritating.
The Internet‐based virtual machining system using CORBA (2002)

This paper presents an Internet‐based virtual machining system which applies virtual manufacturing technology to machining processes of CNC machining center. The system is implemented to execute digital machining and verification, to transmit the NC code data to related machining centers after confirming the properness of virtual machining, and to manipulate the machine through the Internet. Also, this research proposes a basic structure that can monitor the status of machines via the Internet. By applying simulation techniques for machining processes, a simple manipulation and monitoring system of machining centers is realized. This entire system is constructed by adopting the latest information technology such as object‐oriented method, middleware, Internet programming, and client‐server structure.
Membranous Glomerulonephritis Development with Th2-Type Immune Deviations in MRL/<i>lpr</i> Mice Deficient for IL-27 Receptor (WSX-1) (2005)

MRL/lpr mice develop spontaneous glomerulonephritis that is essentially identical with diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (World Health Organization class IV) in human lupus nephritis. Lupus nephritis is one of the most serious complications of systemic lupus erythematosus. Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis is associated with autoimmune responses dominated by Th1 cells producing high levels of IFN-gamma. The initial mounting of Th1 responses depends on the function of the WSX-1 gene, which encodes a subunit of the IL-27R with homology to IL-12R. In mice deficient for the WSX-1 gene, proper Th1 differentiation was impaired and abnormal Th2 skewing was observed during infection with some intracellular pathogens. Disruption of the WSX-1 gene dramatically changed the pathophysiology of glomerulonephritis developing in MRL/lpr mice. WSX-1-/- MRL/lpr mice developed disease resembling human membranous glomerulonephritis (World Health Organization class V) with a predominance of IgG1 in glomerular deposits, accompanied by increased IgG1 and IgE in the sera. T cells in WSX-1-/- MRL/lpr mice displayed significantly reduced IFN-gamma production along with elevated IL-4 expression. Loss of WSX-1 thus favors Th2-type autoimmune responses, suggesting that the Th1/Th2 balance may be a pivotal determinant of human lupus nephritis development.
Modeling Cyber-Physical Systems with Semantic Agents (2010)

The development of accurate models for cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is hampered by the complexity of these systems, fundamental differences in the operation of cyber and physical components, and significant interdependencies among these components. Agent-based modeling shows promise in overcoming these challenges, due to the flexibility of software agents as autonomous and intelligent decision-making components. Semantic agent systems are even more capable, as the structure they provide facilitates the extraction of meaningful content from the data provided to the software agents. In this paper, we present a multi-agent model for a CPS, where the semantic capabilities are underpinned by sensor networks that provide information about the physical operation to the cyber infrastructure. This model is used to represent the static structure and dynamic behavior of an intelligent water distribution network as a CPS case study.
Volume, outcome, and the organization of intensive care (2007)

Increasing evidence suggests that high case volume is associated with improved outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). Potential explanations for the volume–outcome relationship include selective referral, clinical experience and organizational factors common to high-volume ICUs. Distinguishing between these explanations has important health policy implications, because outcomes at low-volume ICUs could be improved either by exporting best practices found at high-volume centers or by regionalizing adult critical care – two very different care strategies. Future research efforts should be directed at better characterizing the process of care in high-volume ICUs and exploring the feasibility of creating a regionalized system of care.
Synthesis of <i>d</i>,<i>l</i>-Norlabdane Oxide and Related Odorants:  An Intramolecular Radical Approach (1998)

A cascade radical approach to d,l-norlabdane oxide and related odorants is reported. Oxidative radical cyclization of polyene 4 with Mn(III) and Cu(II) afforded exclusively bicycle 3, which upon acid treatment gave tricycle 2 possessing the norlabdane oxide skeleton with a modified A-ring system. Tricycle 2 was ultimately converted to d,l-norlabdane oxide 1 and to several new A-ring labdane oxides as potential odorants.
Accurate models for EUV lithography (2009)

Accurate modeling of EUV Lithography is a mandatory step in driving the technology towards its foreseen insertion point for 22-16nm node patterning. The models are needed to correct EUV designs for imaging effects, and to understand and improve the CD fingerprint of the exposure tools. With a full-field EUV ADT from ASML now available in the IMEC cleanroom, wafer data can be collected to calibrate accurate models and check if the existing modeling infrastructure can be extended to EUV lithography. As a first topic, we have measured the CD on wafer of a typical OPC dataset at different flare levels and modeled the evolution of wafer CD through flare, reticle CD, and pitch using Brion's Tachyon OPC engine. The modeling first requires the generation of a flare map using long-range kernels to model the EUV specific long-range flare. The accuracy of the flare map can be established independently from the CD measurements, by using the traditional disappearing pad test for flare determination (Kirk test). The flare map is then used as background intensity in the calibration of the traditional optical models with short-range kernels. For a structure set of 600 features and over a flare range of 4-6%, an rms fit value of 0.9nm was obtained. As a second aspect of the modeling, we have calibrated a full resist model to process window data. The full resist model is then used in a combination with experimental measurements of reticle CD, slit intensity uniformity, focal plane behavior, and EUV thick mask effects to model the evolution of wafer CD across the exposure field. The modeled evolution of CD across the exposure field was found to be a good match to the experimentally seen evolution of CD across the field, and confirms that the 4 factors mentioned above are main contributions to the CD uniformity across the field. As such the modeling work enables a better understanding of the errors contributing to CD variation across the field for EUV technology.
SVM clustering (2007)

Non-parametric SVM-based clustering methods may allow for much improved performance over parametric approaches, particularly if they can be designed to inherit the strengths of their supervised SVM counterparts.

Urban Traffic Analysis through an UAV (2014)

In order to realize a precise and accurate traffic study, a method to evaluate the real traffic flow conditions in urban areas based on videos acquired by an UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, is proposed. In this way it does not require additional equipment to earth and, not being invasive, does not influence the driver behavior. This paper presents the results obtained in terms of vehicular traffic flow along a way in the city of Palermo. The results have been compared to experiments using macroscopic simulation models and the eventually differences have been discussed.
A hand-held flexible mechatronic device for arthroscopy (2015)

The surgical robotics community have developed many different flexible robot designs to address the access problems of minimally invasive surgery. In this paper, we present a hand-held mechatronic tool with a miniaturized distal flexible manipulator incorporating a microscopy probe, camera and a light source for diagnostic arthroscopy. Extensive characterization of the flexible manipulator is provided, including an optimization of the manipulator workspace, hysteresis characteristics and repeatability of the instrument. The lateral stiffness of the flexible manipulator for different bending conditions is assessed along with the overall robustness of the platform. A cadaveric study was performed to demonstrate the potential clinical value of the device.
