Military and Potential Homeland Security Applications for Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) (2004)

Abstract : The Department of Defense (DoD) continues its strong support of research and development (R&D) in Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology for military system applications. Systems useful for homeland security applications could benefit from the MEMS investment for military systems. This document reviews past and current DoD MEMS developments for military systems and identifies potential applications of MEMS technology to homeland security devices and systems. For the areas cited where MEMS has potential application in military systems and homeland security systems, coordination between DoD and DHS throughout the development cycle is recommended.
The ALPbench benchmark suite for complex multimedia applications (2006)

Multimedia applications are becoming increasingly important for a large class of general-purpose processors. Contemporary media applications are highly complex and demand high performance. A distinctive feature of these applications is that they have significant parallelism, including thread- , data-, and instruction-level parallelism, that is potentially well-aligned with the increasing parallelism supported by emerging multi-core architectures. Designing systems to meet the demands of these applications therefore requires a benchmark suite comprising these complex applications and that exposes the parallelism present in them. This paper makes two contributions. First, it presents ALPBench, a publicly available benchmark suite that pulls together five complex media applications from various sources: speech recognition (CMU Sphinx 3), face recognition (CSU), ray tracing (Tachyon), MPEG-2 encode (MSSG), and MPEG-2 decode (MSSG). We have modified the original applications to expose thread-level and data-level parallelism using POSIX threads and sub-word SIMD (Inters SSE2) instructions respectively. Second, the paper provides a performance characterization of the ALPBench benchmarks, with a focus on parallelism. Such a characterization is useful for architects and compiler writers for designing systems and compiler optimizations for these applications.
Discount pricing policies for inventories subject to declining demand (1989)

Until only recently, the mechanism behind determining item price has been ignored and the discount price taken as a given in quantity-discount inventory decision problems. Inventory subject to declining demand further complicates both pricing and replenishment decisions. This article provides the vendor with the means for optimally determining both the discount price and replenishment order frequency for all buyers in the system in an environment of declining demand. In the multiple-buyer case, we provide an efficient algorithm for classifying buyers into homogeneous subgroups to further enhance joint cost savings among all system participants.
Single-step superresolution by interferometric imaging (2004)

The use of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays for implementation of incoherent source superresolution is presented. The method uses an interferometer setup to obtain superresolution in a single step. The novelty of the method relies on the use of a VCSEL array as the light source, which provides a set of coherent sources which are mutually incoherent. The technique accomplishes the transmission of several spatial frequency bands of the object's spectrum in parallel by use of spatial multiplexing that occurs because of the tilted illumination of the source array. The recording process is done by interference of each frequency band with a complementary set of reference plane waves. After the reconstruction process, the resolution of any optical system can approach the natural lambda/2 limit. The benefit of our system is improved modulation speed and hence more rapid image synthesis. Moreover, any desired synthetic coherent transfer function can be realized at ultrafast rates if we simply change the electrical drive of the VCSEL array.
DNA Separation Methodology Based on Charge Neutralization in a Polycationic Gel Matrix (2008)

A novel method for separation of DNA fragments is here reported, based on migrating the polyanionic DNA fragments in a polycationic polyacrylamide gel, made by incorporating positively charged monomers (the Immobilines used for creating immobilized pH gradients) into the neutral polyacrylamide backbone. Separations can be operated under two working conditions: either against a gradient of positive charges, to allow the various DNA fragments to reach a steady-state position along the migration path and condense (focus) in an environment inducing charge neutralization, or in a plateau gel (i.e., in a gel containing a constant level of positive charges from anode to cathode). In this last case, separation is still obtained due to differential charge modulation of the various DNA fragments. In the 100-1000-bp length, it is shown that separation can be obtained even for fragments differing in length by <0.5%, as shown in the splitting of a 656- and 659-bp doublet, that could not be resolved by conventional polyacrylamide gels. In the 10-100-bp range, it is shown that the present method can resolve single nucleotide polymorphisms, i.e. fragments of identical number of nucleotides but differing by one base substitution. In this last case, separations are obtained only in gradient gels containing a much steeper gradient of charges (0-20 mM Immobiline pK 10.3 and pK 12, as opposed to gradients of only 2-4 mM positive charges for larger size fragments). This novel methodology represents a marked improvement over existing techniques and appears to hold promises for applications in diverse fields, such as molecular biology, forensic medicine, and genetic screening.

Light-induced degradation (LID) of crystalline silicon ($c$-Si) surfaces passivated with hydrogenated amorphous silicon ($a$-Si:H) is investigated. The initial passivation decays on polished $c$-Si(100) surfaces on a time scale much faster than usually associated with bulk $a$-Si:H LID. This phenomenon is absent for the $a$-Si:H/$c$-Si(111) interface. We attribute these differences to the allowed reconstructions on the respective surfaces. This may point to a link between the presence of so-called ``fast'' states and (internal) surface reconstruction in bulk $a$-Si:H.
Development of a Bone Drilling Simulation System With Force Feedback (2005)

We present the development of a bone drilling simulation system to simulate on a PC the drilling operations commonly used in orthopedic surgery. A drilling force model is obtained by performing regression of measured drilling force versus process and material parameters. A haptic rendering algorithm consisting collision detection and force generation is also developed. The overall simulation of the developed system runs two threads in parallel: (1) haptics thread, which obtains the position and orientation of the virtual drill and provides force feedback and (2) graphics thread, which is dedicated to real-time rendering of volumetric data.
[Current status of obesity surgery as metabolic surgery]. (2006)

Obesity Surgery is not only capable to reduce body weight of the morbid obesity patients but also capable to treat complications such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipemia and etc. From this point view, obesity surgery is recently called Metabolic Surgery, intending to treat Metabolic Syndrome. Gastric Bypass, Adjustable Gastric Banding, Vertical Banded Gastroplasty, and Biliopancreatic Diversion are widely recommended in the world. We have operated 97 cases of morbid obesity patients with various types of gastric bypass and gastroplasty since 1982. Laparoscopic surgery is induced in the field of obesity surgery around 1995, and since then, it has been exploring rapidly over the world. Two thirds of total cases are recently operated laparoscopicaly in the world. We adopted laparoscopic obesity surgery in 2000, and now several institutions are operating with laparoscopy even in Japan. Considering the characteristic features of Japanese obese, we should have our own guideline for obesity surgery. Patients who have BMI > or =35 and severe complications which need to be treated promptly should be applied to surgical treatment in Japan.
THE ROLE OF BACILLUS CEREUS IN SWEET CURDLING OF FLUID MILK (1974)

Twenty-eight percent of commercially pasteurized milk samples procured from various plants throughout Tennessee exhibited sweet-curdling within 10 days on refrigerated storage. Psychrotrophic Bacillus cereus was isolated as a causative organism from these milk samples. The isolates differed from the type culture organism only in their ability to grow and bring about sweet curd formation in skimmilk at refrigeration temperature. These isolates exhibited marked differences in their response to heat activation temperatures as well as to the initial excessive growth of Pseudomonas species in raw milk. Spores of three isolates exhibited greater activity after activation at 80 C for 15 sec than at the standard pasteurization temperature of 71.5 C for 15 sec. Excessive growth of Pseudomonas fragi or Pseudomonas fluorescens in raw skimmilk before processing had a stimulatory effect on two of three psychrotrophic Bacillus cereus isolates in combination with heat-activation especially with activation at 80 C for 15 sec.
Auto-Tuned Spline Synopses for Database Statistics Management (2000)

Data distribution statistics are vital for database systems and other data-mining platforms in order to predict the running time of complex queries for data filtering and extraction. State-of-theart database systems are inflexible in that they maintain histograms on a fixed set of single attributes, each with a fixed number of buckets regardless of the underlying distribution and precision requirements for selectivity estimation. Despite many proposals for more advanced types of &quot;data synopses&quot;, research seems to have ignored the critical tuning issue of deciding on which attribute combinations synopses should be built and how manybuckets (or, analogously, transform coefficients, etc.) these should have with a given amount of memory that is available for statistics managementoverall. This paper develops a method for the automatic tuning of variable-size spline-based data synopses for multidimensional attribute -value frequency as well as density distributions suchthatan overall erro...

Impact of CCR1 silencing on the assembly of lignified secondary walls in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> (2009)

A cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1 knockout mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated for the consequences of lignin synthesis perturbation on the assembly of the cell walls. The mutant displayed a dwarf phenotype and a strong collapse of its xylem vessels corresponding to lower lignin content and a loss of lignin units of the noncondensed type. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the transformation considerably impaired the capacity of interfascicular fibers and vascular bundles to complete the assembly of cellulose microfibrils in the S(2) layer, the S(1) layer remaining unaltered. Such disorder in cellulose was correlated with X-ray diffraction showing altered organization. Semi-quantitative immunolabeling of lignins showed that the patterns of distribution were differentially affected in interfascicular fibers and vascular bundles, pointing to the importance of noncondensed lignin structures for the assembly of a coherent secondary wall. The use of laser capture microdissection combined with the microanalysis of lignins and polysaccharides allowed these polymers to be characterized into specific cell types. Wild-type A. thaliana displayed a two-fold higher syringyl to guaiacyl ratio in interfascicular fibers compared with vascular bundles, whereas this difference was less marked in the cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1 knockout mutant.
Mood States Modulate Activity in Semantic Brain Areas during Emotional Word Encoding (2006)

It is controversially discussed whether or not mood-congruent recall (i.e., superior recall for mood-congruent material) reflects memory encoding processes or reduces to processes during retrieval. We therefore investigated the neurophysiological correlates of mood-dependent memory during emotional word encoding. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded while participants in good or bad mood states encoded words of positive and negative valence. Words were either complete or had to be generated from fragments. Participants had to memorize words for subsequent recall. Mood-congruent recall tended to be largest in good mood for generated words. Starting at 200 ms, mood-congruent ERP effects of word valence were obtained in good, but not in bad mood. Only for good mood, source analysis revealed valence-related activity in ventral temporal cortex and for generated words also in prefrontal cortex. These areas are known to be involved in semantic processing. Our findings are consistent with the view that mood-congruent recall depends on the activation of mood-congruent semantic knowledge during encoding. Incoming stimuli are more readily transformed according to stored knowledge structures in good mood particularly during generative encoding tasks. The present results therefore show that mood-congruent memory originates already during encoding and cannot be reduced to strategic processes during retrieval.
Rapid generation of random mutant libraries (2010)

A simple and efficient method utilizing in vivo recombination to create recombinant libraries incorporating the products of PCR amplification is described. This will be especially useful for generating large pools of randomly mutagenized clones after error-prone PCR mutagenesis. Here we investigate various parameters to optimize this approach and we demonstrate that as little as 1 pmole of PCR fragment can generate a library with greater than 104 clones in a single transformation without ligation.
The Germicidal Efficiency of Emulsept and of Chlorine in Washing Dirty Eggs (1945)

The percentages of microorganisms killed with emulsept in these experiments for the same series of eggs are many times greater than the percentages of those killed when 100 ppm active chlorine was used. Experiments are in progress on other phases of this problem.

Uptake of Transfer Ribonucleic Acid by Normal and Leukemic Cells (1970)

Uptake of tRNA (Escherichia coli) was demonstrated in the murine leukemia, L1210 and in a human lymphoblast (NC-37) cell lines. In both cell lines, uptake of tRNA was rapid, reaching a maximum within 45 sec, and was linear with concentration up to about 50 mug/ml. This uptake of exogenous tRNA apparently was not due to altered membrane permeability or impaired cell viability, nor to ribonuclease degradation of the macromolecule. Furthermore, about 20% of the tRNA taken up by the cells remains functional and apparently intact. This was demonstrated by: (a) acylation with E. coli aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases; (b) methylation with leukemic cell tRNA-methylases, and (c) demonstrating (14)C-labeled 4S RNA in the cytoplasmic fraction of the leukemic cells after the addition of E. coli [(14)C]tRNA. The results demonstrate that tRNA can enter mammalian cells and suggest that an energy independent, carrier-mediated, mechanism may be operative.
Laser-fabricated cell patterning stencil for single cell analysis (2017)

Precise spatial positioning and isolation of mammalian cells is a critical component of many single cell experimental methods and biological engineering applications. Although a variety of cell patterning methods have been demonstrated, many of these methods subject cells to high stress environments, discriminate against certain phenotypes, or are a challenge to implement. Here, we demonstrate a rapid, simple, indiscriminate, and minimally perturbing cell patterning method using a laser fabricated polymer stencil. The stencil fabrication process requires no stencil-substrate alignment, and is readily adaptable to various substrate geometries and experiments.
Determination of Absolute Rate Constants for Radical Polymerization and Copolymerization of Ethyl α-Chloroacrylate: Effects of Substituents on Reaction Rates of Monomer and Polymer Radical (1983)

Abstract The propagation and termination rate constants (kp and kt) for the radical polymerization of ethyl a-chloroacrylate (ECA) were determined by the rotating sector method kp = 1660 and kt = 3.33 × 108 L/mol•s at 30° C. The absolute rate constants for cross-propagations in copolymerization were evaluated from the kp determined for ECA or those for common monomers and the monomer reactivity ratios. The reactivities of ECA and poly-(ECA) radicals estimated as the rate constants of cross-propagations were accounted for by using equations relating these rate constants to the polar and resonance effects of the substituents. ECA was highly reactive toward various polymer radicals as expected from the resonance effects of the carbethoxy and chloro substituents. The poly(ECA) radical was found to be more reactive than common polymer radicals. The reactivity of a polymer radical in cross-propagation seemed to increase with increasing electron-accepting power by facilitating electron transfer from a monomer required for the new C-C bond formation.
Successful Treatment of Life-threatening Bleeding after Cesarean Section with Recombinant Activated Factor VII (2006)

Hemorrhagic shock developed in a 29-year-old nullipara without coagulopathy after emergency caesarean section. Treatment with uterotonic drugs, prostaglandins, and conservative procedures with transfusion of packed red cells and fresh-frozen plasma failed to control the diffuse vaginal and uterine bleeding. Finally an intravenous bolus injection of 90 microg/kg recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven, Novo Nordisk A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark), was given and showed success within 20 minutes after administration, without any side effects.
A new design method for the transition region of the valve plate for an axial piston pump (2015)

The optimization of the valve plate transition region is an important way of reducing the noise emission for an axial piston pump. However, the optimized methods through simulation or experiment are actually trial and error, and they cannot indicate the precise structural parameters of the valve plate transition region. In this study, a new design method for the transition region of valve plate based on the matching of flow area and reduction of transient reverse flow was proposed, and with which a valve plate was designed. Then, the impact of the flow ripple in the discharge line of an axial piston pump and the pressure overshoot and undershoot in the piston chamber on hydraulic and structural noise for axial piston pump is discussed. The noise reduction effect of the axial piston pump with this valve plate was analyzed by adopting a flow characteristic simulation model. Finally, the results showed that the application of this design method could contribute much to the reduction of the flow ripple and elimination of the pressure overshoot and undershoot. As a consequence, the method can be used in the design of a low-noise open circuit axial piston pump.
Rootstock‐to‐scion transfer of transgene‐derived small interfering <scp>RNA</scp>s and their effect on virus resistance in nontransgenic sweet cherry (2014)

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are silencing signals in plants. Virus-resistant transgenic rootstocks developed through siRNA-mediated gene silencing may enhance virus resistance of nontransgenic scions via siRNAs transported from the transgenic rootstocks. However, convincing evidence of rootstock-to-scion movement of siRNAs of exogenous genes in woody plants is still lacking. To determine whether exogenous siRNAs can be transferred, nontransgenic sweet cherry (scions) was grafted on transgenic cherry rootstocks (TRs), which was transformed with an RNA interference (RNAi) vector expressing short hairpin RNAs of the genomic RNA3 of Prunus necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV-hpRNA). Small RNA sequencing was conducted using bud tissues of TRs and those of grafted (rootstock/scion) trees, locating at about 1.2 m above the graft unions. Comparison of the siRNA profiles revealed that the PNRSV-hpRNA was efficient in producing siRNAs and eliminating PNRSV in the TRs. Furthermore, our study confirmed, for the first time, the long-distance (1.2 m) transfer of PNRSV-hpRNA-derived siRNAs from the transgenic rootstock to the nontransgenic scion in woody plants. Inoculation of nontransgenic scions with PNRSV revealed that the transferred siRNAs enhanced PNRSV resistance of the scions grafted on the TRs. Collectively, these findings provide the foundation for 'using transgenic rootstocks to produce products of nontransgenic scions in fruit trees'.
