Parallel genomic sequence-search on a massively parallel system (2007)

In the life sciences, genomic databases for sequence search have been growing exponentially in size. As a result, faster sequence-search algorithms to search these databases continue to evolve to cope with algorithmic time complexity. The ubiquitous tool for such search is the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) [1] from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Despite continued algorithmic improvements in BLAST, it cannot keep up with the rate at which the database is exponentially increasing in size. Therefore, parallel implement-ations such as mpiBLAST have emerged to address this problem. The performance of such implementations depends on a myriad of factors including algorithmic, architectural, and mapping of the algorithm to the architecture. This paper describes modifications and extensions to a parallel and distributed-memory version of BLAST called mpiBLAST-PIO and how it maps to a massively parallel system, specifically IBM Blue Gene/L (BG/L). The extensions include a virtual file manager, a "multiple master" run-time model, efficient fragment distribution, and intelligent load balancing. In this study, we have shown that our optimized mpiBLAST-PIO on BG/L using a query with 28014 sequences and the NR and NT databases scales to 8192 nodes (two cores per node). The cases tested here are well suited for a massively parallel system.
Sodium and Lithium as Activators of Fluorescence in Zinc Sulfide (1949)

Lithium and sodium dissolved in zinc sulfide act either as activators of fluorescence, or as quenchers, according to whether chlorine is present or not. The fluorescence occurs only at low temperatures and is excited by short-wave ultraviolet. The lithium band has a maximum at 4380A in the sphalerite modification of ZnS; the sodium band has a maximum at 3940A in sphalerite and at 3800A in the wurtzite modification.The difference in the position of the bands for wurtzite and sphalerite and a shift found upon incorporation of CdS proves that we are dealing with electron-transfer bands. The centers of fluorescence are supposed to consist of lithium or sodium and chlorine ions occupying normal lattice sites. The levels involved in the fluorescence transitions are levels due to lattice ions, changed by the presence of the monovalent ions (indirect activation).The quencher centers are supposed to consist of Li2S and Na2S incorporated in ZnS in such a way that the alkaline ions occupy two cation sites, while of two anion sites one is occupied by a monovalent sulfur ion and the other by an electron.
Liquid Phase Adsorption by Microporous Coordination Polymers: Removal of Organosulfur Compounds (2008)

The utility of microporous coordination polymers (MCPs) for the adsorption of large organosulfur compounds (benzothiophene, dibenzothiophene, 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene) found in fuels is demonstrated. Large capacities are obtained at both low and high sulfur concentrations. For 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, the compound most difficult to remove using current industrial techniques, a capacity of 41 g S/kg MCP at 1500 ppmw S is achieved by UMCM-150. It was determined that the size/shape of the pores in the MCP, rather than the surface area or pore volume, is the most important factor controlling adsorption capacity.
“Magnetically enhanced hollow cathode—a new plasma source for high‐rate deposition processes” (2009)

Abstract Hollow cathode arc discharges have been studied for some decades in basic research and different fields of practical application. Especially in the field of physical vapor deposition (PVD) they are often used for metal evaporation and the generation of plasma. Problematical aspects were found in the high throughput of working gas necessary for stable operation and in the inhomogeneous, locally concentrated ionization efficiency. A promising way out of this dilemma was found in a special arrangement of hollow cathode and annular anode in an axial magnetic field. This configuration allows a drastic reduction of working gas flow without loss of discharge stability. Moreover, with reduction of gas flow a strong increase in ion current density was observed together with a highly expanded volume of plasma plume.

Physicochemical criteria for reverse osmosis separation of alcohols, phenols, and monocarboxylic acid in aqueous solutions using porous cellulose acetate membranes (1971)

Abstract Reverse osmosis data of 32 different alcohols and phenols and 22 different monocarboxylic acids in aqueous solutions in the concentration range 0.0001 to 0.007 M (∼100 ppm in most cases) have been studied using porous cellulose acetate membranes at 250 psig. Solute separation data for alcohols and phenols are correlated with Δν s (shift in the OH band maximum in the IR spectra), and those for the monocarboxylic acids are correlated with K a (dissociation constant) and the degree of dissociation of the molecule. Solute separation decreases with increase in Δν s for alcohols and phenols. The solute separation‐versus‐ K a correlation for acids passes through a minimum, and solute separation always increases with increase in the degree of dissociation. The separation data are also correlated with Taft and Hammett numbers which represent the effect of the substituent group on the polar effect of the molecule. The product rate data show a general tendency to decrease with decrease in solute separation in all cases. These results show that, with respect to the systems considered, solute separation in reverse osmosis is governed by the hydrogen bonding ability of the organic molecule when it is essentially undissociated and by electrostatic repulsion of ions when the molecule is partially or completely dissociated. Thus, data on Δν s for alcohols and phenols, and those on K a and degree of dissociation for monocarboxylic acids, constitute precise physicochemical criteria for reverse osmosis separation of the above solutes in aqueous solutions using porous cellulose acetate membranes.
Arabidopsis SEIPIN Proteins Modulate Triacylglycerol Accumulation and Influence Lipid Droplet Proliferation (2015)

The lipodystrophy protein SEIPIN is important for lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis in human and yeast cells. In contrast with the single SEIPIN genes in humans and yeast, there are three SEIPIN homologs in Arabidopsis thaliana, designated SEIPIN1, SEIPIN2, and SEIPIN3. Essentially nothing is known about the functions of SEIPIN homologs in plants. Here, a yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) SEIPIN deletion mutant strain and a plant (Nicotiana benthamiana) transient expression system were used to test the ability of Arabidopsis SEIPINs to influence LD morphology. In both species, expression of SEIPIN1 promoted accumulation of large-sized lipid droplets, while expression of SEIPIN2 and especially SEIPIN3 promoted small LDs. Arabidopsis SEIPINs increased triacylglycerol levels and altered composition. In tobacco, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized SEIPINs reorganized the normal, reticulated ER structure into discrete ER domains that colocalized with LDs. N-terminal deletions and swapping experiments of SEIPIN1 and 3 revealed that this region of SEIPIN determines LD size. Ectopic overexpression of SEIPIN1 in Arabidopsis resulted in increased numbers of large LDs in leaves, as well as in seeds, and increased seed oil content by up to 10% over wild-type seeds. By contrast, RNAi suppression of SEIPIN1 resulted in smaller seeds and, as a consequence, a reduction in the amount of oil per seed compared with the wild type. Overall, our results indicate that Arabidopsis SEIPINs are part of a conserved LD biogenesis machinery in eukaryotes and that in plants these proteins may have evolved specialized roles in the storage of neutral lipids by differentially modulating the number and sizes of lipid droplets.

A Computer-Based Building Design Support Environment (1991)

Continuously decreasing cost has brought computers into most architectural and engineering offices, most commonly for activities such as drafting, accounting and word processing. Computers are used less often to predict the performance of design solutions. However, most performance simulation software packages are simplified versions of main-frame analytical tools, originally developed for research. Such software packages focus on specific design issues according to the research needs. Also, the data input requirements are complicated and incompatible with each other, and the output data are usually specialized and difficult to interpret. It is yet to be seen how the increasing memory and processing speed of computers, the two main advantages that computers have over the human brain, can be used to assist designers throughout the design process, allowing them to organize design projects electronically. We describe the design and initial implementation of a computer-based Building Design Support Environment whose structure and operation are derived from a detailed theoretical analysis of the design process, into the iterative and interactive activities that contribute towards the formulation of design criteria, the generation of potential solutions, and their evaluation. The identified design activities are characterized with respect to the nature of knowledge requirements and the degree to which they can be specified and delegated to computers. The results are considered as criteria to determine the level of automation and the interaction between designers and computers, to model the delegateable and non-delegateable activities, respectively. We believe this approach, when fully implemented, has a good chance of providing building designers with a powerful environment to enhance building design.
Modeling Reservoir Temperature Transients and Reservoir-Parameter Estimation Constrained to the Model (2010)

Summary Permanent downhole gauges (PDGs) provide a continuous source of downhole pressure, temperature, and sometimes flow-rate data. Until recently, the measured temperature data have been largely ignored, although a close observation of the temperature measurements reveals a response to changes in flow rate and pressure. This suggests that the temperature measurements may be a useful source of reservoir information. In this study, reservoir temperature-transient models were developed for single- and multiphase-fluid flows, as functions of formation parameters, fluid properties, and changes in flow rate and pressure. The pressure fields in oil- and gas-bearing formations are usually transient, and this gives rise to pressure/temperature effects appearing as temperature change. The magnitudes of these effects depend on the properties of the formation, flow geometry, time, and other factors and result in a reservoir temperature distribution that is changing in both space and time. In this study, these thermometric effects were modeled as convective, conductive, and transient phenomena with consideration for time and space dependencies. This mechanistic model included the Joule-Thomson effects resulting from fluid compressibility and viscous dissipation in the reservoir during fluid flow. Because of the nature of the models, the semianalytical solution technique known as operator splitting was used to solve them, and the solutions were compared to synthetic and real temperature data. In addition, by matching the models to different temperature-transient histories obtained from PDGs, reservoir parameters such as average porosity, near-well permeabilities, saturation, and some thermal properties of the fluid and formation could be estimated. A key target of this work was to show that temperature measurements, often ignored, can be used to estimate reservoir parameters, as a complement to other more-conventional techniques.

Using first-principles density-functional calculations we have studied the interactions of molecular oxygen with a partially reduced rutile ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ (110) surface. In agreement with experiments, a number of different ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ adsorption states, both molecular and dissociated, have been found. The kinetic barriers for conversion between these states have also been calculated. Based on these results, we analyze the mechanism of oxygen vacancy diffusion, recently observed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), and suggest a pathway which does not imply the high oxygen adatom reactivity assumed in the original model.

A novel monolithic balanced switching low noise amplifier (2002)

We report a monolithic novel balanced switching low-noise amplifier for use as a low-noise broadband switch or 180/spl deg/ phase shifter for application in microwave and millimeter wave control circuits. Each arm of the balanced amplifier consists of a two-stage low noise amplifier cascaded with a reflected phase shifter. By controlling the reflected phase shifters, the balanced switching low-noise amplifier exhibits two on states and two off states with an average on-off isolation of >20 dB within 5 GHz bandwidth. The two on states show an average gain of 7 dB with 180/spl deg/ phase difference from 80 to 100 GHz and an average noise figure of 6 dB from 92 to 96 GHz. These results are best data ever reported for a switch or 180/spl deg/ phase shifter at W-band.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Automatic CPU-GPU communication management and optimization (2011)

The performance benefits of GPU parallelism can be enormous, but unlocking this performance potential is challenging. The applicability and performance of GPU parallelizations is limited by the complexities of CPU-GPU communication. To address these communications problems, this paper presents the first fully automatic system for managing and optimizing CPU-GPU communcation. This system, called the CPU-GPU Communication Manager (CGCM), consists of a run-time library and a set of compiler transformations that work together to manage and optimize CPU-GPU communication without depending on the strength of static compile-time analyses or on programmer-supplied annotations. CGCM eases manual GPU parallelizations and improves the applicability and performance of automatic GPU parallelizations. For 24 programs, CGCM-enabled automatic GPU parallelization yields a whole program geomean speedup of 5.36x over the best sequential CPU-only execution.

EM Attack Is Non-Invasive? - Design Methodology and Validity Verification of EM Attack Sensor. (2014)

This paper presents a standard-cell-based semi-automatic design methodology of a new conceptual countermeasure against elec- tromagnetic (EM) analysis and fault-injection attacks. The countermea- sure namely EM attack sensor utilizes LC oscillators which detect vari- ations in the EM field around a cryptographic LSI caused by a mi- cro probe brought near the LSI. A dual-coil sensor architecture with an LUT-programming-based digital calibration can prevent a variety of microprobe-based EM attacks that cannot be thwarted by conven- tional countermeasures. All components of the sensor core are semi- automatically designed by standard EDA tools with a fully-digital stan- dard cell library and hence minimum design cost. This sensor can be therefore scaled together with the cryptographic LSI to be protected. The sensor prototype is designed based on the proposed methodology together with a 128bit-key composite AES processor in 0.18 m CMOS with overheads of only 2% in area, 9% in power, and 0.2% in performance, respectively. The validity against a variety of EM attack scenarios has been verified successfully. 1
The absorption and dissociative or ionizing effect of monochromatic radiation in an atmosphere on a rotating earth (1931)

The absorption of monochromatic radiation from the sun in an atmosphere of which the density varies exponentially with height is considered; the energy of the radiation, or a definite fraction of it, is supposed to dissociate or ionize the air, and the dissociation products are supposed to recombine with one another only, and not to diffuse away from the element in which they were formed. The resulting distribution of density of the dissociation products is determined, a constant recombination coefficient being assumed, while account is taken of the variation in rate of dissociation due to the earth's rotation. The results are illustrated by numerous diagrams, showing the density of the dissociation-products as a function of height, time, latitude and season.
Empirical study on customer satisfaction influencing factors of industry application products based on experiential level theory (2016)

The rapid development of industry application products has greatly influenced society. It has become essential for some telecommunication companies to focus on customer satisfaction with industrial products used by the government and enterprise customers. Following the review of a previous study of customer satisfaction and with the help of experiential level theory, this article attempts to establish a Satisfaction Factors Model for researching customer satisfaction with industry applications. We chose a product named “Mobile Monitor” and investigated the emotional satisfaction of 127 users and company leaders from different walks of life, and showed that 7 of the product's features affected the customers' overall emotional satisfaction. Lastly, this paper points out management implications of this application based on quantitative results. It presents a preliminary exploration program for customer satisfaction research in this specific field. The empirical research on a specific product based on experimental level theory may serve as a reference for other companies that desire to carry out similar surveys in future.

Electron Multipliers Utilizing Continuous Strip Surfaces (1962)

Thin films of semiconducting materials with secondary electron emission ratios greater than one have been used for some years in the Bendix crossed electric and magnetic field electron multiplier for ion detection. In these devices the electric field to accelerate the electrons is established by the potential gradient created by external current flowing through the resistive strip. A low background counting rate, insensitivity to radiation in the visible and near ultraviolet, and stability on exposure to atmospheric gases are properties which permit this device to have interesting photon detection applications in the extreme ultraviolet in dynamic vacuum systems and outer space environment. A new form of electron multiplier utilizing continuous thin film surfaces, but not requiring a magnetic field, has been developed. Small diameter tubes (a few mils I.D.) coated on the inside surface give gains up to 106. This "channel" multiplier has been operated singly as a miniature electron or photon detector, and in arrays in image intensifiers. The principle of operation and some applications of these channel amplifiers will be discussed.
