Integrated Voltage Reference Generator for GaN Smart Power Chip Technology (2010)

GaN smart power chip technology has been realized using a GaN-on-Si HEMT platform, featuring monolithically integrated high-voltage power devices and low-voltage peripheral devices for mixed-signal functional blocks. In particular, this brief presents the imperative analog functional block-voltage reference generator for smart power applications with wide-temperature-range stability. The circuit is capable of proper functions within a wide temperature range from room temperature up to 250°C , illustrating the unique advantage of the wide-bandgap GaN in high-temperature operation. The voltage reference generator was designed with an AlGaN/GaN HEMT and Schottky diodes, and the devices were operated in the subthreshold regime to obtain low power consumption. The voltage reference generator achieved an average drift of less than 0.5 mV/°C and can be used as a reference voltage in various biasing and sensing circuits.

FRACTIONS 291 reverse nature. This type of findings, contrary to that obtained for cell sap concentration, may point to the reliability of taking one or more of such three criteria at the above-mentioned period as an indication for the effective use of a given treatment in increasing the drought resistance of maize plants.
Giant second-harmonic generation in a one-dimensional GaN photonic crystal (2004)

In order to determine the angular geometry that satisfies quasi-phase matching conditions for enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG), the equi-frequency surfaces of the resonant photonic modes (that lie above the light line) of a one-dimensional GaN photonic crystal have been experimentally and theoretically studied as a function of frequency, angle of incidence, and azimuthal direction. Enhancement of the SHG has been observed when the angular configuration satisfies the quasi-phase matching conditions, i.e., when both the fundamental and second-harmonic fields coincide with resonant modes of the photonic crystal. The SHG enhancement achieved to the double resonance was 5000 times with respect to the unpatterned GaN layer. A smaller, but still substantially enhanced SHG level was also observed when the fundamental field is coupled into a resonant mode, while the second-harmonic field is not.
Automatic Resource Allocation in Business Processes: A Systematic Literature Survey (2021)

For delivering products or services to their clients, organizations execute manifold business processes. During such execution, upcoming process tasks need to be allocated to internal resources. Resource allocation is a complex decision-making problem with high impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of processes. A wide range of approaches was developed to support research allocation automatically. This systematic literature survey provides an overview of approaches and categorizes them regarding their resource allocation goals and capabilities, their use of models and data, their algorithmic solutions, and their maturity. Rule-based approaches were identified as dominant, but heuristics and learning approaches also play a relevant role.
Effects of different PHEV control strategies on vehicle performance (2009)

Foreign oil dependence, increased cost of fuel, pollution, global warming are buzz words of today's era. Automobiles have a large impact on increasing energy demand, pollution and related issues. As a consequence, many efforts are being concentrated on innovative systems for transportation that could replace petroleum with cleaner fuel, i.e. electricity from the power grid. The use of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) can become a very important change in this direction, since such vehicles could benefit from the increasing availability of renewable energy. PHEVs requires new control and energy management algorithms, that are crucial for vehicle performance. This paper deals with evaluation of two modes, Electric Vehicle (EV) mode and Blended mode, for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and their comparison with conventional and hybrid electric vehicle performance. In this paper two PHEV architectures are considered: through road parallel plug-in hybrid and series plug-in hybrid. Similar models have been developed to evaluate vehicle performance for conventional and hybrid architectures. Both PHEV architectures are analyzed with two different modes- EV and Blended; a modified version of ECMS (Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy) is used for both algorithms. Various standard as well as custom designed driving cycles are used in this analysis. The paper provides quantitative analysis of the control algorithms to analyze their effects on fuel economy, use of electric energy, cost of operation, etc.; these results are compared with the simulations for hybrid and conventional vehicles. Some important relationships between fuel economy, design architectures and control strategies are shown and can be useful in the design of the optimal control algorithms for PHEVs. As shown in the results, the control problem for PHEVs is not limited to fuel economy but it also involves external factors, such as price of electricity, energy market and regulations, charging availability, battery life issues, etc.
Derivation, parameterization and validation of a creep deformation/rupture material constitutive model for SiC/SiC ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) (2016)

The present work deals with the development of material constitutive models for creep-deformation and creep-rupture of SiC/SiC ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) under general three-dimensional stress states. The models derived are aimed for use in finite element analyses of the performance, durability and reliability of CMC turbine blades used in gas-turbine engines. Towards that end, one set of available experimental data pertaining to the effect of stress magnitude and temperature on the time-dependent creep deformation and rupture, available in the open literature, is used to derive and parameterize material constitutive models for creep-deformation and creep-rupture. The two models derived are validated by using additional experimental data, also available in the open literature. To enable the use of the newly-developed CMC creep-deformation and creep-rupture models within a structural finite-element framework, the models are implemented in a user-material subroutine which can be readily linked with a finite-element program/solver. In this way, the performance and reliability of CMC components used in high-temperature high-stress applications, such as those encountered in gas-turbine engines can be investigated computationally. Results of a preliminary finite-element analysis concerning the creep-deformation-induced contact between a gas-turbine engine blade and the shroud are presented and briefly discussed in the last portion of the paper. In this analysis, it is assumed that: (a) the blade is made of the SiC/SiC CMC; and (b) the creep-deformation behavior of the SiC/SiC CMC can be represented by the creep-deformation model developed in the present work.

A Phase II Trial of Vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid) in Metastatic Breast Cancer: A California Cancer Consortium Study (2008)

Although not meeting the RECIST response criteria for adequate single-agent activity, the observed tolerable toxicities and the potential for clinical benefit in terms of stable disease suggest that further assessment of vorinostat as a part of combination therapy with either chemotherapeutic or targeted agents in metastatic breast might be undertaken.
Spatially Controlled DNA Nanopatterns by “Click” Chemistry Using Oligonucleotides with Different Anchoring Sites (2010)

DNA patterning on surfaces has broad applications in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and other fields of life science. The common patterns make use of the highly selective base pairing which might not be stable enough for further manipulations. Furthermore, the fabrication of well-defined DNA nanostructures on solid surfaces usually lacks chemical linkages to the surface. Here we report a template-free strategy based on "click" chemistry to fabricate spatially controlled DNA nanopatterns immobilized on surfaces. The self-assembly process utilizes DNA with different anchoring sites. The position of anchoring is of crucial importance for the self-assembly process of DNA and greatly influences the assembly of particular DNA nanopatterns. It is shown that the anchoring site in a central position generates tunable nanonetworks with high regularity, compared to DNAs containing anchoring sites at terminal and other positions. The prepared patterns may find applications in DNA capturing and formation of pores and channels and can serve as templates for the patterning using other molecules.
A method for measuring respiration and physical activity in bed by optical flow analysis (2002)

A fully noncontact and unconstrained monitoring method, based on optical flow of movement of body surface that is developed by introducing image sequence analysis, is described. A spatiotemporal local optimization method is applied to determine optical flow in the image sequence. The optical flow visualizes the apparent velocity field of the entire body motion, including breast movement due to respiration and posture changes in a bed. A temporal increase in heart rate reflects the magnitude of physical activities. We propose two candidate parameters for evaluation of respiratory and physical activities based on comparison among experimental results. The average of squared motion velocities reflects the magnitude of physical activities. The representative field-averaged component shows a waveform with periodic fluctuation corresponding to that of respiration obtained with a nasal thermistor. This optical flow analysis is a promising new technique for evaluation of body motion for clinical use.
Liposomes, an Interesting Tool to Deliver a Bioenergetic Substrate (ATP),<i>in Vitro</i>and<i>in Vivo</i>Studies (1994)

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was proposed in various medical applications, as a possible bioenergetic substrate. Unfortunately, ATP is very difficult to use at a therapeutic level because of its high sensitivity to enzymatic hydrolysis making this molecule unstable in biological fluids. ATP is also a highly hydrophilic molecule that is unable to cross biological membranes. To try to develop a system able to protect ATP against degradation and to efficiently deliver this bioenergetic substrate, its liposomal encapsulation in multilamellar vesicles was carried out. One of the studies described in this paper deals with the efficiency of liposomal ATP in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Our results show that encapsulation was able to protect ATP from its degradation by ectonucleotidases and that liposomal ATP was active against experimental brain ischemia. The other study deals with the effect of ATP on the motility and the acrosomal reaction of human spermatozoa. The results show that co-incubating ATP-loaded liposomes with sperm cells was able to induce the process of capacitation in vitro and might therefore be a useful tool in the procedure of in vitro fertilization.

NACA branches convene with new Air Quality Act in mind : NACA news (2009)

Over the past few months, the National Association for Clean Air (NACA) branches have been active in organizing knowledge-sharing sessions - particularly concerning the implementation of the new Air Quality Act. The National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 2004 (Act no. 39 of 2004) will be replacing the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act 1965 (Act no. 45 of 1965), and will affect all industries currently in possession of a Registration Certificate under the APPA legislation. In addition, several new industrial processes have been included in the list of activities requiring licenses.
SMASHUP: secure mashup for defense transformation and net-centric systems (2011)

The recent development of mashup technologies now enables users to easily collect, integrate, and display data from a vast array of different information sources available on the Internet. The ability to harness and leverage information in this manner provides a powerful means for discovering links between information, and greatly enhances decisionmaking capabilities. The availability of such services in DoD environments will provide tremendous advantages to the decision-makers engaged in analysis of critical situations, rapid-response, and long-term planning scenarios. However in the absence of mechanisms for managing the usage of resources, any mashup service in a DoD environment also opens up significant security vulnerabilities to insider threat and accidental leakage of confidential information, not to mention other security threats. In this paper we describe the development of a framework that will allow integration via mashups of content from various data sources in a secure manner. The framework is based on mathematical logic where addressable resources have formal usage terms applied to them, and these terms are used to specify and enforce usage policies over the resources. An advantage of this approach is it provides a formal means for securely managing the usage of resources that might exist within multilevel security environments.
Etude dans certaines conditions africaines, de l'action antiparasitaire du Thiabendazole sur divers helminthes des animaux domestiques. I. Helminthes du zébu (1965)

L'auteur, après avoir réalisé une série d'essais sur 169 jeunes zébus du Tchad et de R.C.A., estime que, sur le terrain, il faut au moins une dose de 100 mg/kg par animal pour détruire Cooperia punctata, Cooperia pectinata, Haemoncus contortus, Haemoncus placei, Bosicola radiatum et Bunostomum phlebotomum adultes mûrs ou immatures, surtout lorsque ces Nématodes sont associés entre eux, ce qui se produit dans 90% des cas. Les formes L4 de Bosicola radiatum enkystées dans la muqueuse intestinale semblent réfractaires à tout traitement. Le Thiabendazole peu toxique se prête bien à des traitements de masse, qui, dans les conditions africaines doivent être effectués en une seule fois, être simples et ne pas nécessiter une mise à la diète préalable. Lors de parasitisme massif, le traitement sera renouvelé dans les 15 jours qui suivent la première intervention. En milieu tropical sec où, de mars à juin, les possibilités d'alimentation du bétail sont faibles, le Thiabendazole, en détruisant les Nématodes les plus dangereux pour les jeunes animaux, permet une meilleure utilisation du pâturage restant, avec comme conséquence une sensible augmentation de poids des animaux traités
Medication errors in inpatient pharmacy operations and technologies for improvement (2007)

The inpatient pharmacy component of the medication-use process is complex and error prone. Its functioning relies on interactions among providers, patients, information, and technology, and the majority of medication errors are a direct result of the intrinsic complexity of these interactions. Technology is commonly deployed as part of medication error-reduction initiatives, affecting patients and providers alike. Therefore, principles that determine the influence of technological initiatives, such as human factors engineering and normal accident theory, must be addressed to ensure that technology is used safely in the inpatient pharmacy setting. This commentary discusses medication errors that occur during inpatient pharmacy operations, theories on why these errors occur, and technologies aimed at addressing these errors. The inpatient pharmacy functions as part of the greater medication-use process, which involves diagnosis, prescription, preparation, dispensing, administration, and monitoring. Inpatient pharmacies are primarily involved in the preparation and dispensing of medications, and the associated processes occur in three distinct steps: interpretation and transcription, preparation, and delivery. Each step is accomplished by people who are performing many different tasks at the same time. In addition to these functions, pharmacy is responsible for controlling the dispensing of drugs; communicating with physicians, nurses, and other staff; and ensuring rational and safe drug use.1 These tasks are rarely segregated within inpatient pharmacies and are often performed by the same individuals at the same time as they prepare medications for patient use.
CO 2 Laser Gain And Energy Extraction Using <sup> 12 </sup> C And <sup> 13 </sup> C Isotopes (1989)

A single-pulse closed volume discharge has been used to characterize the amplification properties of <sup>12</sup>C<sup>16</sup>0<sub>2</sub> and <sup>13</sup>C<sup>16</sup>0<sub>2</sub> laser gas mixes. Small signal gain data were obtained from vibrational fluorescence measurements of standard and isotopic laser mixtures under identical pulsed pumping conditions. The variation of the peak gain and post-pump decay rate with CO<sub>2</sub> partial pressure and pulse length is discussed. The experimental measurements are compared with the predictions of a kinetics model of the excitation and deactivation processes in a CO<sub>2</sub> laser. For both <sup>12</sup>CO<sub>2</sub> and <sup>13</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>, the calculated decay rates are found to be in good agreement with the experimental values. The modeling results also predict a crossover point from g(<sup>13</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>) > g(<sup>12</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>) to g(<sup>13</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>) < g(<sup>12</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>) at pulse lengths near 60 microseconds for a pressure of 1 atm and a 7.7He:2N<sub>2</sub>:1CO<sub>2</sub> gas mixture. The effects of total pressure and gas mixture composition on the crossover point and on energy extraction are discussed.
On the application of steinernematid nematodes against eight lepidopterous and coleopterous insect pests. (1996)

New regio- and stereoselective aminohalogenation of cinnamic esters has been developed using the combination of 2-NsNCl(2)/2-NsNHNa as the nitrogen and chlorine sources and copper(I) triflate as the catalyst. The new procedure provides an efficient synthesis of anti-alkyl 3-chloro-2-(o-nitrobenzenesulfonamido)-3-phenylpropionate derivatives. Nine examples are presented with good yields (62-82%) and stereoselectivity ((5:1)-(30:1)).
A Temperature-Sensitive Mutation Affecting 28S Ribosomal RNA Production in Mammalian Cells (1973)

We have characterized a temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant of the hamster cell line BHK 21 that appears to have a defect in the processing of ribosomal RNA precursors at 39 degrees . Mutant ts 422E grows at a normal rate at 33 degrees , but upon shift to 39 degrees growth stops after about one cell doubling. The appearance of 28S rRNA and large ribosomal subunits in the cytoplasm of ts 422E at 39 degrees is inhibited by about 95%, when compared to wild-type BHK cells. Production of 18S rRNA and small ribosomal subunits is unaffected. Shift-up experiments show that the defect in 28S rRNA production can be detected as early as 2-3 hr after the shift to 39 degrees . Synthesis of the larger rRNA precursor is normal at high temperature, but the processing appears to be arrested after the formation of 32S rRNA. 32S rRNA accumulates to some extent in the nucleoli of ts 422E. ts 422E cells appear to have a single mutation, directly affecting the conversion of 32S to 28S rRNA. The reduced amount of 28S rRNA in the cytoplasm of ts 422E cells at 39 degrees seems therefore responsible for their inability to grow at this temperature.
Distance measurement system for autonomous vehicles using stereo camera (2020)

The focus of this paper is inter-vehicles distance measurement which is a very important and challenging task in image processing domain. Where it is used in several systems such as Driving Safety Support Systems (DSSS), autonomous driving and traffic mobility. In the current paper, we propose an inter-vehicle distance measurement system for self-driving based on image processing. The proposed system uses two cameras mounted as one stereo camera, in the hosting vehicle behind the rear-view mirror. The detection of vehicles is performed first in a single camera using a recent powerful work from the literature. Then, the same vehicle is detected in the image captured by the second camera using template matching technique. Thus, the inter-vehicle distance is calculated using a simple method based on the position of the vehicle in both cameras, geometric derivations and additional technical data such as distance between the cameras and some other specific angles (e.g. the cameras view field angle). The results of the extensive experiments showed the high accuracy of the proposed method compared to the previous works from literature and it allows to measure efficiently the distances between the vehicles and the hosting vehicle. In addition, this method could be used in several systems of various domains in real time regardless of the object types. The experiments results were done on a Hardware Processor System (HPS) located in a VEEK-MT2S provided by TERASIC.
