A virtual mirror for assisting drivers (2002)

Introduces the concept of a DGPS (Differential Global Positioning System) driven computer graphics display functioning as a mirror. This display, called a virtual mirror, is located inside the vehicle cabin and is intended to be used as a rear- or side-view mirror in automobiles or trucks. This virtual mirror integrates accurate DGPS vehicle positioning with an onboard geo-spatial database in order to render lane boundaries and road 'furniture' information in real time. Road traffic information, such as the locations and speeds of other vehicles relative to the host vehicle is provided by radar or inter-vehicle communication. The result is a system that mitigates the effect of blind spots and other described limitations of conventional mirrors.

Offloading Socket Processing for Ubiquitous Services (2011)

As digital devices with communication capability become more pervasive, the network performance of a corresponding server needs to be improved. In this paper, we present the hardware and software for offloading the socket processing in order to improve the network performance of a server. The experimental results showed that the proposed solution could improve the network performance of a typical solution significantly. Furthermore, the proposed solution can provide the binary compatibility with the BSD socket standard such that the existing network programs can be used without modification and/or recompilation.

<title>Fabrication of conformal ZnS domes by chemical vapor deposition</title> (1999)

Aspheric shape ZnS domes were fabricated by a scalable and cost-effective chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to demonstrate the feasibility of producing aerodynamic domes that conform to the shape of the missile body. These domes provide enhanced performance by substantially reducing the missile drag, although they also present issues of CVD deposition, optical fabrication to the required figure and finish, particularly the inside surface, and metrology. Domes were fabricated on 'male' mandrels in a CVD chamber to produce net-shape or precision replicated inside surface and then diamond turned to produce surfaces with figure of a fraction of a wave and finish of 180 angstrom RMS. Important issues involved in near-net-shaping and precision replication of ZnS domes are discussed and data on mandrel and release coating materials, degree of replication achieved and mandrel durability are presented.
Chloroacetamides Affect the Plasma Membrane (2002)

In the present study membrane fatty acids were analyzed to find a link between the biosynthesis inhibition of very-long-chain fatty acids and the phytotoxic effects of herbicidal chloroacetamides. Accordingly, we have isolated membranes of cucumber seedlings (Cucumis sativus) by two-phase partitioning and analyzed their fatty acid content. Saturated VLCFAs ranging from C20 to C26 were found in high amounts (22%) in the plasma membrane fraction. Non-modified VLCFAs were predominantly present in phospholipids, while saturated 2-hydroxylated VLCFAs were identified in cerebrosides. Treatment of intact seedlings with chloroacetamides markedly reduced the VLCFA content in the plasma membrane. This result could be specified by fatty-acid labeling using [14C]malonate as a substrate for fatty acid elongation. De novo incorporation of VLCFAs into the plasma membrane and into microsomal membranes, respectively, was severely impaired by chloroacetamides with I50 values between 10 to 100 nM. These results confirm the previous finding that chloroacetamides inhibit VLCFA biosynthesis localized in the microsomes (Böger et al., Pest Manage. Sci. 56, 497-508, 2000). The direct consequence of this inhibition is a strong decrease of VLCFAs required as constituents of the plasma membrane and the substitution by shorter acyl chains. Apparently, physical properties and function of the plasma membrane are affected eventually leading to death of the plant.
Content adaptive network aware joint optimization of wireless video transmission (2007)

A content adaptive, network aware approach for joint optimization of wireless video transmission is presented in this article. The joint system optimization approach has been developed in the framework of the IST PHOENIX project (www.ist-phoenix.org). After a description of the considered cross-layer approach and of the information to be exchanged among the system component blocks, the concept of "JSCC/D controllers" is introduced. Results obtained through the demonstrator realized as proof-of-concept for the described paradigm are then shown, confirming the validity of the described joint optimization approach
A microfluidic platform for manipulation and separation of oil-in-water emulsion droplets using optically induced dielectrophoresis (2010)

A microfluidic platform for manipulation and separation of oil-in-water emulsion droplets by using optically induced dielectrophoresis (ODEP) is reported in this study. By utilizing different scanning speeds of a moving light beam, the oil-in-water emulsion droplets can be moved and separated with a high separation resolution. A first demonstration of this platform is pre-separation and fine separation of emulsion droplets. Three groups of droplets with different sizes (40–43, 20–30 and 2–8 µm) can be roughly separated first. The fine separation of emulsion droplets with a radius difference of 2.5 µm can be performed using a moving light beam with a gradual gradient of moving speeds. To avoid the collision and overlapping of the droplets, a new approach to assign individual moving track for each droplet was adopted by using well-defined moving light patterns. Accordingly, droplets with five different sizes (30, 20, 10, 7.5 and 5 µm) can be successfully separated. The second demonstration is to separate satellite and master emulsion droplets generated from microfluidic emulsion chips. The developed platform has a great potential to control the quality of emulsion droplets.

A study of head stack assembly sensitivity to ESD (2003)

It is well known that both giant magnetoresistive (GMR) and MR head gimbal assemblies (HGAs) are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD) from human body model (HBM) and machine model (MM) transients. What is less well known is the susceptibility of a GMR or MR sensor once the HGA has been wired to the pre-amplifier and becomes part of an HSA (head stack assembly). We measured current transients across a current probe at the head position generated by applying an HBM voltage transient at the actuator body, flex or pins. The measured amplitude transfer function (mA through head vs. HBM voltage) through this particular preamp/head stack assembly was about 1 mA/33 V. The determination of damage thresholds for HSAs is essential to determine the level of ESD controls needed for post-HSA manufacturing processes in the production of hard disk drives.
Long genes are more frequently affected by somatic mutations and show reduced expression in Alzheimer's disease: Implications for disease etiology (2020)

Aging, the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), may lead to the accumulation of somatic mutations in neurons. We investigated whether somatic mutations, specifically in longer genes, are implicated in AD etiology. First, we modeled the theoretical likelihood of genes being affected by aging-induced somatic mutations, dependent on their length. We then tested this model and found that long genes are indeed more affected by somatic mutations and that their expression is more frequently reduced in AD brains. Furthermore, using gene-set enrichment analysis, we investigated the potential consequences of such long gene disruption. We found that long genes are involved in synaptic adhesion and other synaptic pathways that are predicted to be inhibited in the brains of AD patients. Taken together, our findings indicate that long gene-dependent synaptic impairment may contribute to AD pathogenesis.
Initial experience with recombinant antithrombin to treat antithrombin deficiency in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. (2014)

Acquired antithrombin (AT) deficiency has been associated with patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a result of hemodilution, blood coagulation activation, and the use of heparin. Replacement of AT has been typically utilized through the use of fresh-frozen plasma or AT concentrate. Antithrombin alfa (ATryn) is a recombinant form of AT (rAT) with an identical amino acid sequence as that of plasma-derived antithrombin. The primary objective of this study is to examine the relationship of rAT dose to measured plasma antithrombin activity in a small series of patients who received rAT while on ECMO. A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients at Medical City Children's Hospital who received ATryn while supported on ECMO between December 2011 and April 2012. Five patients were identified and the patients' weight, bolus dose of ATryn, drip rate of ATryn, and AT blood levels were collected for analysis. The median age of these patients was 1 month (range, 1 day to 3.75 years). Because no dosing guidelines exist for pediatric ECMO, a starting dose of ATryn was chosen based on the manufacturer's labeled indication (prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with AT hereditary deficiency). The median dose of rAT was 368 IU/kg/day (range, 104-520 IU/kg/day) to obtain AT activity level of 80-120%. The average time to reach the targeted AT activity level (80-120%) was 12.7 hours (range, 11-17 hours). Our findings suggest that the published ATryn dose may be inadequate to reach desired AT activity concentrations for pediatric patients on ECMO. Difference in patient population, use of extracorporeal circuits, and the use of heparin are likely explanations for this finding. We would also recommend frequent checking of AT levels while delivering this drug because making timely adjustments is necessary for achieving and maintaining the target AT activity level.
Clopidogrel-Associated TTP (2004)

Compared with reports submitted by suppliers or the FDA, reports obtained through active surveillance provided timelier and more complete information. Clopidogrel-associated TTP often occurs within 2 weeks of drug initiation, occasionally relapses, and has a high mortality if not treated promptly.
Photoemission from cesium-oxide-activated InGaAsP (1973)

Zinc-doped InGaAsP quaternary III-V material of the proper composition range shows superior photoemission properties to either InGaAs or InAsP ternary material. The minority-carrier diffusion length in the quaternary material is at least as long as that in InAsP and much longer than observed in InGaAs. The barrier height at the InGaAsP–Cs2O interface is lowered by cooling, giving increased electron escape probability and new highs in quantum efficiency over a wide wavelength range. For example, a 1.06-μ quantum efficiency of 7.5%/incident photon was observed at − 90 °C.

Conservation of cyclodiene insecticide resistance‐associated mutations in insects (1993)

Cyclodiene insecticide resistance has accounted for over 60% of reported cases of insecticide resistance. In Drosophila melanogaster resistance is associated with a single base pair substitution in the GABA receptor/chloride ion channel gene Rdl. This substitution predicts the replacement of an alanine with a serine in the second membrane spanning domain, the region thought to line the chloride ion channel pore. Here we report, via the use of degenerate primers in the polymerase chain reaction, that precisely the same substitution is present in three pests from three different insect orders: the house fly (Diptera), red flour beetle (Coleoptera) and American cockroach (Dictyoptera). This finding suggests that there are a limited number of mutations that can confer resistance to cyclodienes, putative channel blockers, while still maintaining adequate chloride ion channel function. The conservation of the resistance-associated mutation between Drosophila and pest insects directly validates the approach of using this insect as a model system for isolating and studying resistance genes. The importance of single base pair substitutions in the evolution of pesticide resistance and in the design of molecular monitoring techniques is discussed.
Creep resistance of wood-filled polystyrene/high-density polyethylene blends (2000)

Creep, the deformation over time of a material under stress, is one characteristic of wood-filled polymer composites that has resulted in poor performance in certain applications. This project was undertaken to investigate the advantages of blending a plastic of lower-creep polystyrene (PS) with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) at ratios of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100. These various PS–HDPE blends were then melt blended with a short fiber-length wood flour (WF). Extruded bars of each blend were examined to measure modulus of elasticity and ultimate stress. Increasing the ratio of WF increased modulus of elasticity in all composites, except between 30 and 40% WF, whereas the effect of WF on ultimate stress was variable, depending on the composite. Scanning electron microscopic images and thermal analysis indicated that the wood particles interacted with the PS phase, although the interactions were weak. Finally, creep speed was calculated by using a three-point bending geometry with a load of 50% of the ultimate stress. Creep decreased only slightly with increasing WF content but more significantly with increasing PS content, except at pure PS. The WF/75PS–25HDPE blend showed the least creep. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 79: 418–425, 2001
Strain effects in epitaxial GaN grown on AlN-buffered Si(111) (1994)

Growth of GaN thin films on AlN-buffered Si(111) by ultrahigh-vacuum rf glow discharge reactive magnetron sputtering is reported. Epitaxy of GaN is established by x-ray and electron diffraction. Raman scattering from the epitaxial films consistent with that of wurtzitic GaN is observed. The ion energies involved in the growth process are quantified by measuring the plasma potentials of the Ar/N2 glow discharge by an emissive Langmuir probe technique. As a function of increasing input power, a systematic increase in ion energies and a systematic straining of the GaN lattice are observed. Measured GaN phonon energy scales with lattice strain.
Dynamic Traffic Light Sequence Algorithm Using RFID (2008)

Problem statement: Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems in modern urban areas, which have caused much frustration and loss of man hours. Approach: In order to solve the problem an intelligent RFID traffic control has been developed. It has circumvented or avoided the problems that usually arise with systems such as those, which use image processing and beam interruption techniques. RFID technology with appropriate algorithm and data base were applied to a multi vehicle, multi lane and multi road junction area to provide an efficient time management scheme. A dynamic time schedule was worked out for the passage of each column. Results: The simulation has shown that, the dynamic sequence algorithm has the ability to intelligently adjust itself even with the presence of some extreme cases. The real time operation of the system emulated the judgment of a traffic policeman on duty, by considering the number of vehicles in each column and the routing proprieties. Conclusions/Recommendations: RFID together with Internet and GSM technologies are anticipated to create a revolution in traffic management and control systems. The data base contains online statistical information, which can be used by operators and planners to develop better models in the future.
Mast cells in innate immunity (2000)

Mast cells are known to be the main effector cells in the elicitation of the IgE-mediated allergic response. The specific location of mast cells within tissues that interface the external environment, and the extent of their functional capacity, including the ability to phagocytose and to produce and secrete a wide spectrum of mediators, have led investigators to propose a potential role for mast cells in innate immune responses. Certain microorganisms have been found to interact either directly or indirectly with mast cells. This interaction results in mast cell activation and mediator release which elicit an inflammatory response or direct killing leading to bacterial clearance. The in vivo relevance of these in vitro observations has been demonstrated by the use of complement-deficient and/or mast cell-deficient and mast cell-reconstituted mice. In thus has been shown that both C3 and mast cell- and tumor necrosis factor-alpha-dependent recruitment of circulating leukocytes with bactericidal properties are crucial to a full response in certain models of acute infection. Modulation of mast cell numbers in vivo was also found to affect the host response against bacterial infection. Thus, mast cells do have a role in innate immunity in defined animal models of bacterial infection. Whether mast cells participate in innate immune responses in the protection of the human host against bacteria remains to be determined.
An Antennas and Propagation Approach to Improving Physical Layer Performance in Wireless Body Area Networks (2009)

A combined antennas and propagation study has been undertaken with a view to directly improving link conditions for wireless body area networks. Using tissue-equivalent numerical and experimental phantoms representative of muscle tissue at 2.45 GHz, we show that the node to node |S <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">21</sub> | path gain performance of a new wearable integrated antenna (WIA) is up to 9 dB better than a conventional compact Printed-F antenna, both of which are suitable for integration with wireless node circuitry. Overall, the WIA performed extremely well with a measured radiation efficiency of 38% and an impedance bandwidth of 24%. Further benefits were also obtained using spatial diversity, with the WIA providing up to 7.7 dB of diversity gain for maximal ratio combining. The results also show that correlation was lower for a multipath environment leading to higher diversity gain. Furthermore, a diversity implementation with the new antenna gave up to 18 dB better performance in terms of mean power level and there was a significant improvement in level crossing rates and average fade durations when moving from a single-branch to a two-branch diversity system.
