Lattice-matched, epitaxial, silicon-insulating lanthanum yttrium oxide heterostructures (2002)

We demonstrate a ternary (LaxY1−x)2O3 thin-film oxide that can be grown epitaxially on Si(111) substrates with a lattice constant that can be matched to twice the lattice constant of silicon. We further show that silicon can then be deposited epitaxially (though with a high defect density) on this oxide such that epitaxial silicon/oxide/silicon structures may be grown. We discuss the microstructural relationships and the growth modes for the oxide on silicon and silicon on oxide growths.
Applications of Classification Based on Similarities and Dissimilarities (2012)

In this paper, we first review some definitions and propositions regarding similarities between two objects (2-similarity), or among three or more objects (3-similarity/n-similarity). Then the notion of 3-dissimilarity is introduced and the relationships and connections between 2-dissimilarities and 3-dissimilarities are studied. Through some examples, the applications regarding the concepts of 3-similarity, 4-similarity, and dissimilarity relations will be brought out.
Interacting with parallel coordinates (2006)

Parallel coordinate visualizations have a reputation of being difficult to understand, expert-only representations. We argue that this reputation may be partially unfounded, because many of the parallel coordinate browser implementations lack essential features. This paper presents a survey of current interaction techniques for parallel coordinate browsers and compares them to the visualization design guidelines in the literature. In addition, we report our experiences with parallel coordinate browser prototypes, and describe an experiment where we studied the immediate usability of parallel coordinate visualizations. In the experiment, 16 database professionals performed a set of tasks both with the SQL query language and a parallel coordinate browser. The results show that although the subjects had doubts about the general usefulness of the parallel coordinate technique, they could perform the tasks more efficiently with a parallel coordinate browser than with their familiar query language interface.

TCP-LP: low-priority service via end-point congestion control (2006)

Service prioritization among different traffic classes is an important goal for the Internet. Conventional approaches to solving this problem consider the existing best-effort class as the low-priority class, and attempt to develop mechanisms that provide "better-than-best-effort" service. In this paper, we explore the opposite approach, and devise a new distributed algorithm to realize a low-priority service (as compared to the existing best effort) from the network endpoints. To this end, we develop TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP), a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only the excess network bandwidth as compared to the "fair share" of bandwidth as targeted by TCP. The key mechanisms unique to TCP-LP congestion control are the use of one-way packet delays for early congestion indications and a TCP-transparent congestion avoidance policy. The results of our simulation and Internet experiments show that: 1) TCP-LP is largely non-intrusive to TCP traffic; 2) both single and aggregate TCP-LP flows are able to successfully utilize excess network bandwidth; moreover, multiple TCP-LP flows share excess bandwidth fairly; 3) substantial amounts of excess bandwidth are available to the low-priority class, even in the presence of "greedy" TCP flows; 4) the response times of web connections in the best-effort class decrease by up to 90% when long-lived bulk data transfers use TCP-LP rather than TCP; 5) despite their low-priority nature, TCP-LP flows are able to utilize significant amounts of available bandwidth in a wide-area network environment
Translational Control of Embryonic Cell Division by CPEB and Maskin (2001)

Translational control of specific messenger RNAs mediates such basic processes as cell division, cell differentiation, and cell polarity. Although studies over the pastdozen years have illustrated multiple ways in whichtranslation is regulated, there are surprisingly few examples where the mechanism of specific mRNA translationis known in detail (Wickens et al. 2000; Macdonald 2001;Mendez and Richter 2001). One of these mechanisms occurs in early development, and although there are likelyto be some major differences among various species, theoverall framework appears to be similar in most metazoans. Translational control by cytoplasmic polyadenylation has been observed in the oocytes and/or embryos ofmammals, amphibians, insects, and mollusks (McGrewet al. 1989; Vassalli et al. 1989; Salles et al. 1994; Minshall et al. 1999). Polyadenylation-induced translationhas also been detected in the mammalian brain, where itmay contribute to synaptic plasticity, a phenomenon ofneurons that may underlie long-term memory storage(Wu et al. 1998). Finally, recent evidence indicates thatcytoplasmic polyadenylation also occurs on spindles andcentrosomes, where it controls the local translation of aspecific mRNA that modulates cell division (Groisman etal. 2000). Because most of the essential features of cytoplasmic polyadenylation have been defined primarily using the oocytes of Xenopus laevis, most of our commentsare confined to a description of this process in thisspecies...
Interactions of small molecules with phospholipid bilayers. Binding to egg phosphatidylcholine of some organic anions (bromosulphophthalein, oestrone sulphate, haem and bilirubin) that bind to ligandin and aminoazo-dye-binding protein A (1979)

1. To assess the possible involvement of ligandin and aminoazo-dye-binding protein A in intracellular transport it is necessary to know how their ligands, most of which are molecules with hydrophobic moieties, interact with cellular membranes. To obtain such information we examined the interactions of bromosulphophthalein, oestrone sulphate, haem and bilirubin with aqueous dispersions of egg phosphatidylcholine and egg phosphatidylchone/cholesterol (1:1, molar ratio) by equilibrium dialysis and spectrophotometry. 2. In all four cases, saturation effects were observed. Values of Vmax (v = mol of compound bound/mol of lipid phosphorus) at 25 degrees C were: for bromosulphophthalein, approximately 0.1; for oestrone sulphate, approximately 0.25; for haem, approximately 0.25 (all at pH 7.4); and for bilirubin 0.1–0.2 (at pH 8.2). 3. Limiting values of v/c (c = unbound concentration) as v leads to 0 at 25 degrees C and pH 7.4 are: for bromosulphophthalein, 6.25 × 10(4) litre-mol-1; for oestrone sulphate, 7.8 × 10(2) litre-mol-1; for haem, 4.5 × 10(5) litre-mol-1; and for bilirubin, approximately 1.2 × 10(4) litre-mol-1. For haem the result depends on the assumption that only the monomeric form binds to the lipid. 4. The binding of each compound was decreased by cholesterol; bromosulphophthalein and oestrone sulphate were affected more than haem and bilirubin. 5. Bromosulphophthalein at saturating concentration decreased the limiting values of v/c of the other three compounds by approximately one order of magnitude. 6. By assuming that the interactions with egg phosphatidylcholine resemble those with the phospholipid components of mammalian intracellular membranes the binding data for phosphyatidylcholine, together with data for binding to the intracellular proteins ligandin and aminoazo-dye-binding protein A, enable the subcellular distributions of the four compounds to be estimated. For the rat hepatocyte up to 92, 51, 98 and 47% of the total bromosulphophthalein, oestrone sulphate, haem and bilirubin respectively may be membrane-bound.
El creciente campo de los Estudios Sensoriales (2014)

This essay presents a brief survey of the sensory turn in contemporary scholarship, and points to some directions for future research. It makes no claims to be comprehensive, but rather aims to indicate major trends in the field. The essay starts with an overview of the emergence and development of the history and anthropology of the senses. In Part II, the focus shifts to how the field of sensory studies can otherwise be conceptualized as made up of visual culture, auditory culture (or sound studies), smell culture, taste culture and the culture of touch. An account is given of the genesis of these divisions. There follows an overview of some key issues in sensory studies, such as the question of the number of the senses, and the relationship of sensory order to social order. The essay concludes with eight propositions for sensory studies.
Proteins of the Brain Extracellular Fluid: Evidence for Release of S‐100 Protein (1984)

Extracellular protein fractions were obtained (1) by mild, isotonic irrigation of freshly perfused brain tissue; (2) by collection of proteins released into superfusing medium by physiologically viable slices of rat hippocampus; and (3) by sampling the CSF of anesthetized rats. Analysis of the S-100 protein content of these fractions gave values of 2.8, 4.2, and 1.8 micrograms S-100/mg protein, respectively. These values were three- to sixfold higher than the S-100 content of the soluble cytoplasmic protein fractions from the same tissue. This several-fold higher S-100 content of the extracellular protein fractions relative to the intracellular cytoplasmic protein fractions indicates that S-100 is selectively released into the extracellular spaces of the brain. We suggest that the biological function of this CNS protein may involve intercellular transfer.
Salivary estriol concentrations during normal pregnancies, and a comparison with plasma estriol. (1984)

Saliva would have advantages over plasma or urine for monitoring estriol during pregnancy. Specimen collection, after stimulation of flow by citric acid, is non-invasive and simple. We measured concentrations of unconjugated estriol in saliva and compared them with those in plasma in normal pregnancies, and found a good correlation (r = 0.79). In addition, trends of concentrations in saliva and plasma were statistically compared and found to be highly correlated. The variation among individuals in the saliva/plasma concentration ratio suggested that some inter-individual factor(s) may affect this relationship. The normal reference interval for unconjugated estriol concentration in saliva from 20 weeks of gestation to term was established.
Generation of mice with a conditional null allele of the Jagged2 gene (2010)

The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily-conserved intercellular signaling mechanism, and mutations in its components disrupt embryonic development in many organisms and cause inherited diseases in humans. The Jagged2 (Jag2) gene, which encodes a ligand for Notch pathway receptors, is required for craniofacial, limb, and T cell development. Mice homozygous for a Jag2 null allele die at birth from cleft palate, precluding study of Jag2 function in postnatal and adult mice. We have generated a Jag2 conditional null allele by flanking the first two exons of the Jag2 gene with loxP sites. Cre-mediated deletion of the Jag2(flox) allele generates the Jag2(del2) allele, which behaves genetically as a Jag2 null allele. This Jag2 conditional null allele will enable investigation of Jag2 function in a variety of tissue-specific contexts.

10 nm bulk-planar SONOS-type memory with double tunnel junction and sub-10 nm scaling utilizing source to drain direct tunnel sub-threshold (2008)

10 nm gate length bulk-planar SONOS-type memory device, where 1.1 nm Si nanocrystals are lying between double tunnel oxides, retains 2.6 decades memory window for 10 years in less than 13 V w/e voltages. Moreover, 8 nm gate-length double junction SONOS device can show the same reliable characteristics by realizing S/D direct tunnel sub-threshold. This shows that further device scaling and improvement are possible utilizing S/D direct tunnel sub-threshold. Double junction SONOS is a promising candidate for sub-10 nm region.
A single tissue culture system for the propagation of the agents of the human ehrlichioses. (1998)

Two newly emergent human diseases found in the United States, human monocytotropic ehrlichiosis (HME) and human granulocytotropic ehrlichiosis (HGE), are caused by pathogens of the genus Ehrlichia. The causative agent of HGE can be propagated in HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells. Herein, we report the development of a method to propagate E. chaffeensis, the causative agent of HME, in HL-60 cells, thus providing a common system for the study of both species. The continuous propagation of E. chaffeensis requires the induction of HL-60 differentiation along the monocytic pathway toward phenotypically mature macrophages by the addition of 25-OH vitamin D3 to the growth medium.
Solubilization of Quantum Dots with a Recombinant Peptide from <i>Escherichia coli</i> (2007)

On the dot: A genetic-engineering approach to synthesizing a rationally designed recombinant peptide (termed rFC3) in Escherichia coli can be used for the solubilization of quantum dots (QDs). The rFC3 sequence contains only natural amino acids. Exchange of this peptide with CdSe–ZnS QDs coated with hydrophobic solvent allows surface recognition of the peptide (see picture).

SLID: Exploiting Spatial Locality in Input Data as a Computational Reuse Method for Efficient CNN (2021)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) revolutionized computer vision and reached the state-of-the-art performance for image processing, object recognition, and video classification. Even though CNN inference is notoriously compute-intensive, as convolutions account for >90% of the total operation tasks, the ability to tradeoff between accuracy, performance, power, and latency to meet target application makes it an open research topic. This paper proposes the Spatial Locality Input Data (SLID) method for computational reuse during the inference stage for a pre-trained network. The method exploits input data spatial locality via skipping partial processing of the multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations for adjacent data and equating its value to previously computed ones. SLID improves the throughput of resource-constrained devices (Internet-of-Things, edge devices) and accelerates computations during the inference phase by reducing the number of MAC operations. Such approximate computing schema does not require a similarity quantification step nor any modification for the training stage. The computational data reuse was evaluated on three well-known distinctive CNN structures and data sets with alternating layer selections: LeNet, CIFAR-10, and AlexNet. The computational data reuse method saves up to 34.9%, 49.84%, and 31.5% of MAC operations while reducing the accuracy by 8%, 3.7%, and 5.0% for the three models mentioned earlier, respectively. Besides, the proposed method saves on memory access by eliminating data fetching of skipped inputs. Furthermore, filter size, strides, and padding on the accuracy and savings of operations are analyzed. SLID is the first work to exploit the input spatial locality for savings on CNN convolution operations with minimal accuracy loss and without memory or computational overhead. This makes it a great option to support intelligence at the edge.

Tracheal gas exchange: perfusion-related differences in inert gas elimination (1995)

Exchange of inert gases across the conducting airways has been demonstrated by using an isolated dog tracheal preparation and has been characterized by using a mathematical model (E. R. Swenson, H. T. Robertson, N. L. Polissar, M. E. Middaugh, and M. P. Hlastala, J. Appl. Physiol. 72: 1581-1588, 1992). Theory predicts that gas exchange is both diffusion and perfusion dependent, with gases with a higher blood-gas partition coefficient exchanging more efficiently. The present study evaluated the perfusion dependence of airway gas exchange in an in situ canine tracheal preparation. Eight dogs were studied under general anesthesia with the same isolated tracheal preparation. Tracheal perfusion (Q) was altered from control blood flow (Qo) by epinephrine or papaverine instilled into the trachea and was measured with fluorescent microspheres. Six inert gases of differing blood-gas partition coefficients were used to measure inert gas elimination. Gas exchange was quantified as excretion (E), equal to exhaled partial pressure divided by arterial partial pressure. Data were plotted as ln [E/(l-E)] vs. In (Q/Qo), and the slopes were determined by least squares. Excretion was a positive function of Q, and the magnitude of the response of each gas to changes in Q was similar and highly significant (P < or = 0.0002). These results confirm a substantial perfusion dependence of airway gas exchange.
COPERM: transform-domain energy compaction by optimal permutation (2002)

COPERM is a novel paradigm for energy compaction and signal compression, whose foundation is a simple but powerful idea: any signal can be transformed to resemble a more desirable signal from a class of "target" signals, by means of a suitable permutation of its samples. The approach is well-suited for transform domain energy compaction prior to transform-domain compression of persistent broadband signals. The associated optimal permutation precoders are surprisingly simple, and the permutation precoding overhead can be made modest-resulting in improved overall rate-distortion performance.
Optimum number of cascaded cells for high-power medium-voltage multilevel converters (2013)

When power electronic systems are connected to the medium-voltage grid, often multilevel topologies consisting of a number of cascaded converter cells are considered. For a given grid voltage level, either few cells featuring semiconductors with high blocking voltage capability or many cells using low-voltage semiconductors can be employed. This paper proposes efficiency/power density (η-ρ) Pareto analysis to comprehensively identify the optimum number of cascaded cells. Recent advances in silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor technology point towards devices with blocking voltages exceeding 15kV. The switching characteristics that hypothetical SiC devices would have to provide in order to realize a simple single-stage full-bridge converter competitive to a multilevel solution are derived and found to be impracticably fast. Furthermore, it is shown that reliability concerns arising with increasing number of cascaded cells can be mitigated by means of redundancy.
Structure and Stability Studies of Pharmacologically Relevant<i>S</i>-Nitrosothiols: A Theoretical Approach (2016)

Nowadays, S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) represent a promising class of nitric oxide (NO) donors that could be successfully used as drugs to compensate the decrease of NO production that usually arises in conjunction with cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, notwithstanding their pharmacological interest, the structure-stability relationship in RSNOs is still unclear, and this issue, together with the mechanism of NO donation in the physiological medium, deserves further investigation. As a first step forward in this direction, in this paper, the overall stability and structural preference of two pharmacologically relevant S-nitrosothiol molecules were studied in detail by means of computational strategies. In particular, performing calculations in implicit solvent (water) on the S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine and the S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine and analyzing the noncovalent interactions networks of their most stable conformers, we observed that the structure and the stability of these molecules can be directly related to the formation of stabilizing hydrogen-bond and chalcogen-chalcogen intramolecular interactions. The obtained results represent the starting point for further investigations to be conducted also on larger RSNOs to shed further light on the role played by intra- and intermolecular interactions and by solvation effects in stabilizing this class of molecules. The obtained insights will be hopefully helpful to design new RSNO-based drugs characterized by an enhanced pharmacological potency.
