Turning by electrical discharge machining: A review (2015)

Turning by electrical discharge machining is an emerging area of research. Generally, wire-cut electrical discharge machining is used for turning because it is not concerned with electrode tooling cost. The process variant die-sinking electrical discharge machining can also be effectively used to generate free-form cylindrical geometries on difficult-to-cut materials with complex shapes at both macro and micro levels. The machining performance of electric discharge machine is defined and influenced by its process parameters, which significantly affects production rate and the quality of machined component. Thus, it is very important to select machining parameters and their levels cautiously in order to improve the outcome of the process. In this article, the authors have reviewed the research work carried out in the area of electrical discharge turning in the last decade for the improvement of material removal rate, surface integrity and roundness. In this review, various techniques reported by electrical discharge machining researchers on turning have been categorised in different electrical discharge machining variants. The article also discussed the future direction of research work in the same area.
The Tromsø Heart Study: Distribution of, and determinants for, gamma-glutamyltransferase in a free-living population (1986)

Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) was measured in 1579 men, aged 20-54 years, and 1654 women, aged 20-49 years, screened for coronary risk factors. The distribution was right-skewed with medians 15 and 10 U/l for men and women, respectively. Less than 3.8% of the men and 0.8% of the women had GGT greater than or equal to 50 U/l. The low level of GGT matched well with the low mortality of cirrhosis and the modest use of alcohol in Norway. Multiple regression analysis for each sex showed a strong positive association with body mass index, use of alcohol and, unexpectedly, a negative association with coffee consumption, whereas serum triglycerides and the time since the last meal showed a weaker positive association. In women, use of oral contraceptives was positively associated with GGT.
Population genomics shows no distinction between pathogenic Candida krusei and environmental Pichia kudriavzevii: One species, four names (2018)

We investigated genomic diversity of a yeast species that is both an opportunistic pathogen and an important industrial yeast. Under the name Candida krusei, it is responsible for about 2% of yeast infections caused by Candida species in humans. Bloodstream infections with C. krusei are problematic because most isolates are fluconazole-resistant. Under the names Pichia kudriavzevii, Issatchenkia orientalis and Candida glycerinogenes, the same yeast, including genetically modified strains, is used for industrial-scale production of glycerol and succinate. It is also used to make some fermented foods. Here, we sequenced the type strains of C. krusei (CBS573T) and P. kudriavzevii (CBS5147T), as well as 30 other clinical and environmental isolates. Our results show conclusively that they are the same species, with collinear genomes 99.6% identical in DNA sequence. Phylogenetic analysis of SNPs does not segregate clinical and environmental isolates into separate clades, suggesting that C. krusei infections are frequently acquired from the environment. Reduced resistance of strains to fluconazole correlates with the presence of one gene instead of two at the ABC11-ABC1 tandem locus. Most isolates are diploid, but one-quarter are triploid. Loss of heterozygosity is common, including at the mating-type locus. Our PacBio/Illumina assembly of the 10.8 Mb CBS573T genome is resolved into 5 complete chromosomes, and was annotated using RNAseq support. Each of the 5 centromeres is a 35 kb gene desert containing a large inverted repeat. This species is a member of the genus Pichia and family Pichiaceae (the methylotrophic yeasts clade), and so is only distantly related to other pathogenic Candida species.
Evolutionary conservation of the EPS8 gene and its mapping to human chromosome 12q23-q24. (1994)

We have previously isolated the coding sequence for a novel substrate for tyrosine kinases, eps8, from NIH3T3 fibroblasts. Eps8 was phosphorylated in vivo by several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and, upon overexpression, was able to enhance EGFR-mediated mitogenic signaling in NIH3T3 cells. To gain understanding of eps8 function as well as its role in normal and neoplastic proliferation, we cloned the human eps8 coding sequence and studied expression of the human RNA and protein, evolutionary conservation, and chromosomal location. In addition to a previously identified SH3 domain, the predicted amino acid sequence of human eps8 revealed a non-random distribution of prolines, clustered in a way to suggest SH3-binding sites and a putative PH domain. Eps8 was expressed in all epithelial and fibroblastic lines examined and in some, but not all, hematopoietic cells. An essential function of eps8 in cell growth regulation was underscored by its conservation during evolution, where eps8-related sequences were detected as early as in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Finally, the human EPS8 locus was mapped to chromosome 12q23-q24.
Continuous-Wave Mm-Wave Waveguide-Based Probe for Skin Tissue Characterisation (2018)

This paper presents the study and simulation results of a millimetre-wave based device for cancerous skin tissue detection. A probe that could be implemented using inexpensive silicon planar fabrication is proposed. It permits easy system-on-chip integration with other silicon devices to achieve an entire measuring tool for easy deployment. We used the available open literature basal cell carcinoma (BCC) data considerations, for initial development and simulation validation. This study showed that the reflection coefficients vs frequency could capture useful information indicating the possible BCC presence at millimetre-wave frequencies by using both magnitude and phase of the reflection coefficients. It was found that a dual-band approach, 100 to 150 GHz and 200 to 250 GHz, has the ability to highlight deviations from the normal skin.

Survey of low power techniques for ROMs (1997)

This paper presents a survey of low power techniques for Read Only Memories (ROMs). Significant savings in power dissipation are achieved through the use of techniques at the circuit and architecture level. The ROM circuits have been designed in O.35 /spl mu/m CMOS technology and simulated using PowerMill.
SMART Kick Detection: First Step on the Well-Control Automation Journey (2015)

Summary In 2010, on the basis of the safety-performance results achieved through the automation revolution in its oil and gas downstream business, an operator set out to start the same revolution in its upstream business. Automating the initial well-control response to an influx was identified as the initial focus area with the goal of assisting rig personnel to identify and stop any influx without delay. This led to a well-control automation-collaboration project started between an operator, a rig contractor, and a rig-equipment supplier. The first phase of the project was to develop a system that could detect an influx across a broad spectrum of well-construction-related rig operations. This paper describes the development, deployment, and field testing of the first upgraded kick-detection system from this collaboration. To understand where to focus the kick-detection system-upgrade efforts, a fault-tree-style sensitivity analysis of kick detection and well shut-in procedures was undertaken. The results pointed to the high value of improved sensor data (both accuracy and reliability) and of improved detection software for alarming (both in terms of coverage and how the driller is alerted to respond to a confirmed kick condition). On the basis of this sensitivity analysis, a kick-detection system-upgrade functional specification was created and used to develop a trial-upgrade plan for a deepwater rig. Initial implementation operational performance results are presented to demonstrate that most of the kick-detection system-upgrade objectives were achieved. Operational feedback from using the upgraded kick-detection system is included which highlights the new, “SMART,” features that were designed to provide easily understood alerts to the driller, including unique pop-up kick-alarm windows for drilling or circulating, making a connection, and tripping in or out.
Detecting soft errors by a purely software approach: method, tools and experimental results (2003)

In this paper is described a software technique allowing the detection of soft errors occurring in processor-based digital architectures. The detection mechanism is based on a set of rules allowing the transformation of the target application into a new one, having the same functionalities but being able to identify bit-flips arising in memory areas as well as those perturbing the processor's internal registers. Experimental results issued from fault injection sessions and preliminary radiation test campaigns, performed on a complex DSP processor, provide objective figures about the efficiency of the proposed error detection technique.
1997 William J. Stickel Bronze Award. Comparison of strategies for reducing pressure at the site of neuropathic ulcers (1997)

Few scientific data are available on the effectiveness of commonly used modalities for reducing pressure at the site of neuropathic ulcers in persons with diabetes mellitus. The authors' aim was to compare the effectiveness of total contact casts, half-shoes, rigid-soled postoperative shoes, accommodative dressings made of felt and polyethylene foam, and removable walking casts in reducing peak plantar foot pressures at the site of neuropathic ulcerations in diabetics. Using an in-shoe pressure-measurement system, data from 32 midgait steps were collected for each treatment. There was a consistent pattern in the devices' effectiveness in reducing foot pressures at ulcer sites under the great toe and ball of the foot. Removable walking casts were as effective as or more effective than total contact casts. Half-shoes were consistently the third most effective modality, followed by accommodative dressings and rigid-soled postoperative shoes.
Improvement in morphology of nickel silicide film with carbon (2002)

We have investigated the effect of C on Ni silicidation on Si/sub 1-x/C/sub x/ (x=0.004) substrate. The addition of C effectively suppresses the agglomeration of the Ni silicide layers, which results in the low sheet resistance even after annealing at 850/spl deg/C. Pile-up of C at the interface between the Ni silicide layer and the Si/sub 1-x/C/sub x/ film is clearly observed and this is key to improving the silicide morphology and its electrical property as the contact material.

[Quantitative analysis of pneumoconiosis in standard chest radiographs]. (1992)

A computerized method to quantify and characterize interstitial diseases by using physical texture measures obtained from an analysis of the power spectrum of lung textures in digital chest radiographs was applied to Japanese standard radiographs of pneumoconiosis. Texture measures were determined from standard radiographs of silicosis, asbestosis, and other types of pneumoconiosis as well as chest radiographs of normal lungs. Our preliminary results indicated that the texture measures obtained from computer analysis corresponded closely with the standard categories of silicosis. However, there was no significant correlation between texture measures and the categories for asbestosis and other types of pneumoconiosis in terms of texture pattern. Japanese standard radiographs of pneumoconiosis are categorized according to the profusion of opacities, without reference to the size and shape of the opacities. Furthermore, in some films the size and shape of the opacities vary considerably within the same category. Therefore, it is considered that these characteristics of the standard films affected the results of our texture measures. It also considered that a large ROI and other texture measures are needed to characterize large opacities and mixed-shaped opacities of pneumoconiosis.

Novel third-order distortion generator with residual IM2 suppression capabilities (1998)

Commonly used diode-based third-order distortion generators produce residual second-order distortion signals due to the unmatched statistical characteristics of the diodes. In this paper, a novel circuit technique is presented by which, in theory, the suppression of undesirable residual second-order distortion is achieved. A theoretical analysis of the proposed novel circuit topologies is carried out using Volterra series analysis. The residual second-order intermodulation distortions (IM2) of conventional antiparallel and bridge configurations are compared with the modified versions presented in the paper. Simulated results show that the modified antiparallel configuration possess a maximum residual IM2 46 dB lower than the one produced by the conventional configuration. The modified bridge configuration has a maximum residual IM2 36 dB lower than the one of the conventional configuration. A sensitivity analysis of the modified configurations is also presented. Experimental results indicate that 20 dB cancellation is achievable.
The Use of Hormone Replacement Therapy in Postmenopausal Women with Type 2 Diabetes (2001)

In healthy postmenopausal women, estrogen or hormone replacement therapy (ERT or HRT) can alleviate menopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis and may also protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition to improving lipid metabolism, there are reports that estrogen also improves parameters regulating carbohydrate metabolism, including insulin resistance, in healthy women. Therefore, it is likely that ERT or HRT would also benefit women with type 2 diabetes, not only in relieving menopausal symptoms but also in improving the metabolic abnormalities associated with diabetes and in preventing cardiovascular disease.

Effects of Dressing Type on 3D Tissue Microdeformations During Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: A Computational Study (2009)

Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy, also referred to as vacuum-assisted closure negative pressure wound therapy (VAC NPWT), delivered to various dermal wounds is believed to influence the formation of granulation tissue via the mechanism of microdeformational signals. In recent years, numerous experimental investigations have been initiated to study the cause-effect relationships between the mechanical signals and the transduction pathways that result in improved granulation response. To accurately quantify the tissue microdeformations during therapy, a new three-dimensional finite element model has been developed and is described in this paper. This model is used to study the effect of dressing type and subatmospheric pressure level on the variations in the microdeformational strain fields in a model dermal wound bed. Three-dimensional geometric models representing typical control volumes of NPWT dressings were generated using micro-CT scanning of VAC GranuFoam, a reticulated open-cell polyurethane foam (ROCF), and a gauze dressing (constructed from USP Class VII gauze). Using a nonlinear hyperfoam constitutive model for the wound bed, simulated tissue microdeformations were generated using the foam and gauze dressing models at equivalent negative pressures. The model results showed that foam produces significantly greater strain than gauze in the tissue model at all pressures and in all metrics (p<0.0001 for all but epsilon(vol) at -50 mm Hg and -100 mm Hg where p<0.05). Specifically, it was demonstrated in this current work that the ROCF dressing produces higher levels of tissue microdeformation than gauze at all levels of subatmospheric pressure. This observation is consistent across all of the strain invariants assessed, i.e., epsilon(vol), epsilon(dist), the minimum and maximum principal strains, and the maximum shear strain. The distribution of the microdeformations and strain appears as a repeating mosaic beneath the foam dressing, whereas the gauze dressings appear to produce an irregular distribution of strains in the wound surface. Strain predictions from the developed computational model results agree well with those predicted from prior two-dimensional experimental and computational studies of foam-based NPWT (Saxena, V., et al., 2004, "Vacuum-assisted closure: Microdeformations of Wounds and Cell Proliferation," Plast. Reconstr. Surg., 114(5), pp. 1086-1096). In conjunction with experimental in vitro and in vivo studies, the developed model can now be extended into more detailed investigations into the mechanobiological underpinnings of VAC NPWT and can help to further develop and optimize this treatment modality for the treatment of challenging patient wounds.

Dysfunction of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium with Age: Increased Iron Decreases Phagocytosis and Lysosomal Activity (2009)

The RPE/choroid of aged animals demonstrates iron accumulation and associated alterations in iron homeostasis. Iron accumulation with age may impair the phagocytosis and lysosomal functions of retinal pigment epithelial cells in the aged RPE/choroid. Therefore, age-related changes of iron homeostasis in the RPE could increase the susceptibility of the tissue to genetic mutations associated with AMD.
Contactless Function Test of Integrated Circuits on the Wafer (1996)

Abstract Conventional needle probecard techniques suffer from several problems: needles scratch the pads causing bonding problems, the maximum test speed is limited by the poor high frequency performance of the needle contacts. This contribution presents a new contactless method to inject test stimuli and to monitor the output. On chip photo diodes and simple receiver circuits transform light pulses to proper input signals, while a capacitively coupled probe with a very sensitive charge amplifier detects the output signal. The apparational overhead to conventional test system is small as well as the chip space required for photo diode and receiver circuit.
