Patch antenna size reduction by means of inductive slots (2001)

Abstract The present letter concerns the reduction of the global size of a patch antenna by the insertion of printed inductive elements. A transmission‐line model is established to relate to the TM100 mode and support the different elaborations of the reduced patch. The global reduction can reach 50% of the initial size. Along with the theory, a set of experiments have been made to validate the approach. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 29: 79–81, 2001.
Endotoxemia and release of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 1 alpha in acute heatstroke (1991)

To determine whether endotoxemia and release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and/or interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) are involved in the pathogenesis of heatstroke, 17 adult patients with a mean rectal temperature of 42.1 +/- 0.2 degrees C were studied. Blood samples were taken on admission and after cooling was completed. TNF-alpha and IL-1 alpha levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) content was measured by the chromogenic substrate modification of the Limulus amebocyte lysate. TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, and LPS were elevated in all patients [199 +/- 25 (SE) pg/ml, 480.5 +/- 68.3 pg/ml, and 8.60 +/- 1.19 ng/ml, respectively, compared with normal control values of 31.4 +/- 8.4 pg/ml, 53.7 +/- 5.32 pg/ml, and less than 9 pg/ml]. There was no significant correlation between temperature and the circulating concentration of TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, and LPS. Postcooling TNF-alpha, IL-1 alpha, and LPS concentrations were significantly decreased but still above normal control values. The findings suggest that these mediators may have a role in the pathogenesis of heatstroke that could change the strategy of management.
A scalable dual-field elliptic curve cryptographic processor (2003)

We propose an elliptic curve (EC) cryptographic processor architecture that can support Galois fields GF(p) and GF(2/sup n/) for arbitrary prime numbers and irreducible polynomials by introducing a dual field multiplier. A Montgomery multiplier with an optimized data bus and an on-the-fly redundant binary converter boost the throughput of the EC scalar multiplication. All popular cryptographic functions such as DSA, EC-DSA, RSA, CRT, and prime generation are also supported. All commands are organized in a hierarchical structure according to their complexity. Our processor has high scalability and flexibility between speed, hardware area, and operand size. In the hardware evaluation using a 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS standard cell library, the high-speed design using 117.5 Kgates with a 64-bit multiplier achieved operation times of 1.21 ms and 0.19 ms for a 160-bit EC scalar multiplication in GF(p) and GF(2/sup n/), respectively. A compact version with an 8-bit multiplier requires only 28.3 K gates and executes the operations in 7.47 ms and 2.79 ms. Not only 160-bit operations, but any bit length can be supported by any hardware configuration so long as the memory capacity is sufficient.
Advances in functional abstraction from structure (1988)

FUNSTRUX has been extended to extract behavioral-level models for a commercial simulator directly from a circuit netlist. Recent advances include a retargetable code generation mechanism, an object-oriented control structure, handling of initialization values, and improved run-time and space requirements of the abstraction process. The authors discuss some of the issues that arise in translating from Lisp to C and from one functional paradigm to another. >
The Effect of a 5<i>α</i>;-Reductase Inhibitor on Androgen Mediated Growth of the Dog Prostate* (1983)

The administration of testosterone cypionate (0.4 mg/kg BW . day) to castrated male dogs caused a doubling of prostate weight within 4 weeks and an increase in the content of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the prostate. When the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor 17-N,N-diethylcarbamoyl-4-methyl-4-aza-5 alpha-androstan-3-one (3 mg/kg BW . day) was administered simultaneously with testosterone cypionate, prostatic testosterone content increased from 0.5 +/- 0.2 to 4.1 +/- 1.3 ng/mg DNA, the increase in prostatic dihydrotestosterone content was prevented, and prostatic size decreased to half the starting weight. These results suggest that dihydrotestosterone formation plays a role in prostatic growth.
Estimating three-dimensional motion parameters of a rigid planar patch, II: Singular value decomposition (1982)

We show that the three-dimensional (3-D) motion parameters of a rigid planar patch can be determined by computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a 3 × 3 matrix containing the eight so called "pure parameters." Furthermore, aside from a scale factor for the translation parameters, the number of solutions is either one or two, depending on the multiplicity of the singular values of the matrix.
<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> , but Not Vaccine BCG, Specifically Upregulates Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 (2005)

M. tuberculosis specifically upregulates MMP-1 in a cellular model of human infection and in patients with tuberculosis. In contrast, vaccine BCG, which does not cause lung cavitation, does not upregulate prostaglandin E2-dependent MMP-1 secretion.
Direct observation of single dopant atom in light-emitting phosphor of β-SiAlON:Eu2+ (2009)

Rare-earth doped nitride attracts considerable attention because of its application as a light-emitting phosphor. The atomic site of dopants in a crystal is important for the development of advanced materials. Here, we directly observe a single Eu dopant atom in phosphor β-SiAlON using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). A STEM annular dark-field image reveals that a Eu dopant exists in a continuous atomic channel in a β-Si3N4 structure. The image contrast of the single Eu dopant is confirmed based on the comparison of experimental and simulation results.
Evaluation of antibacterial agents in a high-volume bovine polymorphonuclear neutrophil Staphylococcus aureus intracellular killing assay (1986)

A bovine polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) monolayer system was used to determine the ability of different antibiotics to kill surviving intracellular Staphylococcus aureus. The following classes of antimicrobial agents were tested in this high-volume assay procedure: aminocyclitol, beta-lactam, coumarin, lincosaminide, macrolide, naphthalenic ansamycin, paulomycin, peptide, quinolone, and tetracycline. The activities of these compounds were compared with those of positive (rifampin), negative (cloxacillin), and non-antibiotic-treated controls. Only oxytetracycline, the ansamycins (rifampin, rifamycin SV, streptovaricin A, C, and D), paulomycin, and paldimycin caused a significant reduction in the viable count of intracellular S. aureus. Of these, however, the intracellular killing by the streptovaricins was directly related to the cytotoxicity (as determined by trypan blue exclusion) of these compounds for the PMNs. Although the paulomycins were cytotoxic for the PMNs, the cytotoxic and the intracellular killing activity of these new compounds could be distinguished. The relevance of these results to the therapeutic effectiveness of these antibiotics in the treatment of bovine staphylococcal mastitis is discussed.
Wave-pipelining: is it practical? (2002)

Wave-pipelining has recently drawn considerable interest from both the academic and industrial communities as a method for high-speed pipelining without the use of intermediate latching. Although high-performance IC technologies, pipelined RISC and DSP architectures, and sophisticated CAD tools have enabled and driven several recent demonstration circuits, significant challenges remain before wave-pipelining will be used extensively in commercial chips. In this forum, we discuss whether these challenges are surmountable, and if so, what are the techniques that will be needed both now and with future VLSI technologies.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Technical note. Approach for register allocation in microprogram generation (1984)

A dynamic procedure for the allocation of internal registers of a microprogrammable system is described. The rules of this procedure are developed to yield an optimal allocation that minimises the execution time of the microprogram generated. The method assumes that the control flow of the program to be microcoded is represented by a directed graph. The allocation and deallocation of the variables to the registers is carried out in each edge in the graph. The selection of the variables to be assigned to the registers in each node is performed using integer linear programming.
Co-optimization of exposure dose and etch process for SAQP pitch walk control (2018)

Spacer-assisted pitch multiplication is a patterning technique that is used on many different critical layers for memory and logic devices. Pitch walk can occur when the spacer process, a combination of lithography, deposition and etch processes, produce a repeating, non-uniform grating of space / line CDs. It has been shown that for spacer-assisted double patterning (SADP), where the lithography pitch is doubled, pitch walk can be reduced by controlling the exposure dose such that the uniformity of the final SADP spaces defined by the core resist mandrel (S1) is balanced with the final SADP space defined by the distance between adjacent SADP lines (S2). For higher pitch multiplications, starting with spacer-assisted quadruple patterning (SAQP) reducing systematic pitch walk with exposure dose becomes more complex. Co-optimization of the lithography and etch processing is expected to be required to achieve the best pitch walk control. Previous work has shown that improving the across wafer CD uniformity of the line patterns after core etch has limited impact on the space CD uniformity after the SADP process, whereas the CD uniformity of the spaces after SAQP did show some dependence. There are additional space populations created by an SAQP process. The variation of these different populations, along with the spacer deposited line populations, is the root cause of the non-uniform grating that results in pitch walk. The complex interactions of the lithography and etch processes’ impact on the CD and profile need to be understood to produce the optimal performance. Pitch walk is a component of the overall Edge Placement Error (EPE) budget. With current nodes using SAQP for multiple device layers and future nodes expected to continue to implement this patterning technique, minimization of pitch walk variability is an important part of overall patterning optimizations. In this work, we will show how cooptimized exposure dose and etch processes for SAQP patterning can improve pitch walk performance. We will provide a target exposure dose metric for a 32nm pitch SAQP grating. The methodology for achieving the best pitch walk performance by combination of etch process optimization with dose correction will also be shown.
Object-oriented management of real-time data in integrated avionics architectures (2002)

The trend towards integrating functions in advanced avionics systems fielded by the Air Force is having a profound impact on the way data is managed and used in those systems. To develop innovative data management approaches that are needed for future and upgraded Air Force systems, Wright Laboratory initiated the Functionally Integrated Resource Manager (FIRM) Program. This paper describes trends in avionics data management, integrated avionics architectures and software, their database impact, and system-level approaches to database management developed under the FIRM Program. Using sensor fusion and integrated sensor management as examples, object-oriented approaches, issues, and tradeoffs to managing shared data in advanced avionics systems, are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Ghrelin, motilin, insulin concentration in healthy infants in the first months of life: relation to fasting time and anthropometry (2006)

Fasting influence on serum ghrelin concentration confirms the role of this hormone as a physiological meal initiator also in infancy. The correlation between ghrelin, anthropometrical parameters and age supports the hypothesis that this hormone could exert an important influence on growth in the first months of life. Considering motilin, age and weight might play a role in determining its secretion; motilin could be considered one of the numerous factors involved in long-term regulation of energy balance.

4 Talking Books (2007)

Abstract This chapter considers the relationship between the spoken and the written word in the Confessions, a work in which the importance of books and reading is widely acknowledged. Alongside the familiar Platonic unease about the use of books, Augustine inherits also a long prehistory of ambivalence in Jewish and Christian sources. Books are rehabilitated through an elision of the difference between the hermeneutic processes of reading and hearing; by the end of the work, God himself can be visualized as a Christian codex.
Improved Feedback Loop for Adaptive Arrays (1980)

This paper is concerned with the problem of time constants in adaptive arrays. The paper presents a improved form of an adaptive array feedback loop, which has the property that its time constants are fixed. This property is an advantage over the well-known least mean square (LMS) loop, for which time constants depend on received signal power. Fixed time constants are of interest because they simplify dynamic range problems for adaptive arrays in communication and radar systems.
Direct subcloning of target region from BAC insert using restriction enzymes that produce non-identical cohesive ends (2004)

Type IIS or interrupted palindrome restriction endonuclease digestion produces unique cohesive ends. Utilization of this feature of BglI, SfiI and BstXI has led to direct subcloning of 28.5-kb and 22.9-kb regions, which contains candidate genes for medaka Double anal fin (Da) mutant, from a 229-kb BAC insert. This method does not contain gel-fractionation of the fragments and time-consuming screening process using hybridization. Non-recombinant backgrounds were distinguished from recombinant clones by introducing GFPuv gene into the subcloning vector. This strategy was successfully applicable even when the target region was cut into three fragments by these enzymes.
Nodulating strains of Rhizobium loti arise through chromosomal symbiotic gene transfer in the environment. (1995)

Rhizobia were isolated from nodules off a stand of Lotus corniculatus established with a single inoculant strain, ICMP3153, 7 years earlier in an area devoid of naturalized Rhizobium loti. The isolates showed diversity in growth rate, Spe I fingerprint of genomic DNA, and hybridization pattern to genomic DNA probes. The 19% of isolates that grew at the same rate as strain ICMP3153 were the only isolates that had the same fingerprint as strain ICMP3153. Sequencing of part of the 16S rRNA gene of several diverse isolates confirmed that they were not derived from the inoculant strain. Nevertheless, all non-ICMP3153 strains gave EcoRI and Spe I hybridization patterns identical to ICMP3153 when hybridized to nodulation gene cosmids. Hybridization of digests generated by the very rare cutting enzyme Swa I revealed that the symbiotic DNA region (at least 105 kb) was chromosomally integrated in the strains. The results suggest that the diverse strains arose by transfer of chromosomal symbiotic genes from ICMP3153 to nonsymbiotic rhizobia in the environment.
Cardiovascular and Autonomic Response to Environmental Noise During Sleep in Night Shift Workers (2002)

Polysomnograph, beat-by-beat heart rate and blood pressure were monitored in night shift workers exposed to environmental and laboratory noise events during day sleep. The study was carried out in a sleep laboratory. Subjects were nine young, healthy female night shift workers. Recorded noises from trucks, civilian aircraft, low altitude military aircraft and tones were presented at 55, 65, and 75 L(Amax). Sleep stage, heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures before and immediately after onset of noise events were compared. Spectral analyses of heart rate and blood pressure variabilities were used to compare sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous tone in 10-min. intervals containing noise and quiet. Heart rate was responsive to noise level but not noise type. Blood pressure increased primarily to sounds of sudden onset. Noise-induced awakening and alpha EEG responses were related to BP increase. Increase in HR was greatest when subjects were awakened by noise or already awake. Spectral analysis of BP variabilities indicated increased sympathetic vascular tone due to noise. Similar analyses of HR data indicated no noise effect. No habituation to noise was apparent over three consecutive sleep sessions. It was concluded that over the range of noise levels used, heart rate responds to noise level during sleep; blood pressure to sounds of sudden onset. Spectral analysis of blood pressure variabilities is a sensitive measure of autonomic nervous response to environmental noise and should also be studied in subjects sleeping at home.
The Transcription Profile of the <i>Bocavirus</i> Bovine Parvovirus Is Unlike Those of Previously Characterized Parvoviruses (2007)

The Bocavirus bovine parvovirus generated a single pre-mRNA from a promoter at its left-hand end; however, the pattern of its alternative polyadenylation and splicing was different from that of other parvoviruses. A large left-hand-end open reading frame (ORF) encoded a nonstructural protein of approximately 95 kDa. An abundant, spliced, internally polyadenylated transcript encoded the viral NP1 protein from an ORF in the center of the genome. Transcripts encoding the capsid proteins were polyadenylated in the right-hand terminal palindrome. This is the first published transcription map of a member of the Bocavirus genus of the Parvovirinae.
Efficacy and safety of single agent pertuzumab (rhuMAb 2C4), a HER dimerization inhibitor, in hormone refractory prostate cancer after failure of taxane-based therapy (2005)

4624 Background: Pertuzumab (P), a humanized HER2 antibody, inhibits dimerization of HER2 with other HER kinase family members (EGFR, HER3 and HER4), thereby inhibiting signaling through MAP and PI3 kinase. A phase I trial demonstrated safety and activity in prostate cancer. This single agent, multicenter phase II trial assessed P activity in prostate cancer pts that had progressed on or after hormone and taxane therapy. Methods: 42 pts were enrolled. 41 were treated with a loading of 840mg P followed by 420mg every 3 weeks. Primary objectives were best overall response, time to progression and safety. Response assessments by CT, bone scan and PSA were obtained after 4, 8, and 12 cycles. Results: The median age was 68 years. 52% had responded to primary hormonal therapy for less than one year and 36% had obtained a response to prior taxane-based therapy. There were no PSA or objective radiographic responses to P. Of 41 treated pts, 5 (12%) pts had stable disease beyond cycle 4 - 1 for 36 weeks and 2 each for 24 and 23 weeks. 20 (49%) progressed at or prior to cycle 4, and 16 (39%) came off therapy for other reasons. Under separate protocols, survival data was retrospectively analyzed with predicted survival based on a validated nomogram used to determine probability of survival based on prognostic factors. Actual overall survival (median >16 months) was better than predicted based on historical controls (10.1 months) with similar prognostic features. The major toxicity was diarrhea (61%) and rash. Conclusions: P is well tolerated. No responses were observed; stabilization of disease was observed in a small number of pts with taxane-resistant HRPC. In spite of these findings, preliminary analysis suggests that P may have an impact on survival compared to predicted survival based on prognostic factors; randomized studies would be necessary to confirm this finding.

Vertical Bridgman Growth and Scintillation Properties of Doped Bi4Si3O12 Crystals (1999)

Pure BSO and Ce, Nd, Eu, Cr and Fe doped BSO crystals of high optical quality with 20x20x100mm3 have been grown by the vertical Bridgman method. After measuring their transmission spectra, light outputs, FWHM energy resolutions and excitation-emission spectra, we summarized and explained the laws of doped effects on the scintillation characteristics. we can expect that Eu may be the most promising dopant candidate of the doped elements for improving the scintillation characteristics of BSO crystal.
