Integration of High Aspect Ratio Tapered Silicon Via for Silicon Carrier Fabrication (2009)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> This paper provides a detailed overview of silicon carrier-based packaging for 3-D system in packaging application. In this work the various critical process modules that play a vital role in the integration and fabrication of silicon carrier with high aspect ratio tapered through-silicon interconnections have been explained and discussed with experimental data. A method of fabricating tapered deep silicon via in a three-step approach has been developed and characterized which controls via depth, sidewall profile, and surface roughness effectively. A low-temperature dielectric deposition process is also developed that has minimum residual stress and good dielectric coverage on the via sidewall. The above processes were then integrated with back-end processes like seed metallization, copper electroplating, chemical mechanical polishing, and wafer thinning to realize a fully integrated silicon carrier fabrication technology. The silicon carriers were finally assembled and tested for through silicon interconnection. </para>
Management of relapsed-refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (2014)

Relapsed-Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (RR DLBCL), which accounts for approximately one-third of patients with DLBCL, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Managing RR DLBCL continues to be a challenge to the treating hemato-oncologist. Salvage high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation is the standard of care for chemosensitive relapses in DLBCL. Various salvage regimens are available, but the quest for an optimal regimen continues. The addition of rituximab to the salvage regimen has improved the outcome of RR DLBCL. Several pertinent issues regarding the management of RR DLBCL are discussed in this short review.
The Use of Metal Nanoparticles to Produce Yellow, Red and Iridescent Colour, from Bronze Age to Present Times in Lustre Pottery and Glass: Solid State Chemistry, Spectroscopy and Nanostructure (2009)

The use of metal nanoparticles dispersed in an optically clear matrix by potters and glassmakers from the Bronze Age up to the present time is reviewed from the solid state chemistry and material science point of view. The nature of metal (gold, silver or copper), the importance of some other elements (Fe, Sn, Sb, Bi) added to control metal reduction in the glass in relation to the firing atmosphere (combined reducing oxidizing sequences, role of hydrogen and water) are considered in the light of ancient Treatises and recent analyses using advanced techniques (FIB- TEM, EXAFS,…) and classical methods (optical microscopy, UV-visible absorption). The different types of colour production, by absorption/reflection (red, yellow) or diffraction (iridescence) and the relationship between nanostructure (metal particle dispersion, layer stacking) and lustre colour are discussed. The very specific interaction between light and the metal nanoparticle makes Raman scattering a very useful "bottom up" technique to study the local glass structure around the metal particles as well as to detect incomplete metal reduction or residues tracing the preparation route, hence making it possible to differentiate between genuine artefacts and fakes.
Study and Design of a Fast 5KV Transistor Switch (2010)

There are many kinds of devices operation in Pulse Forming Networks (PFNs) using high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) modulation today [1]. This paper is going to discuss a novel fast high voltage transistor switch utilizing Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) suitable for use in PRF circuits. The switching performance of this fast high voltage transistor switch is faster than other switches (e.g. IGBT, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor etc.) [2,3]. There are three major benefits to PRF from this device. The first is that it operates at very high voltage (e.g. over five kilovolts, 5 kV). The second is improved transistor performance, with excellent operating parameters (e.g. fast output transition time, pulse width). The third is a wide range of applications, such as in biotechnology (e.g. Mass Spectrometry, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), military (e.g. PRF radar systems), and electrical engineering (e.g. laser systems) etc.
A network-on-chip with 3Gbps/wire serialized on-chip interconnect using adaptive control schemes (2006)

An on-chip interconnect is implemented with 3Gbps/wire bandwidth performance with 8:1 serialization scheme. Such high-speed serialization is achieved using a novel serialization scheme, wave-front-train. In order to apply such high-speed link technique to network-on-chip channels, three adaptive control schemes are used: supply voltage dependent reference voltage control, phase compensation scheme with self-calibrating function, and adaptive bandwidth control. The chip is fabricated using 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS technology.
High-Throughput Sequencing Identifies Novel and Conserved Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) microRNAs in Response to Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus Infection (2015)

Seedlings of Cucumis sativus L. (cv. 'Zhongnong 16') were artificially inoculated with Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) at the three-true-leaf stage. Leaf and flower samples were collected at different time points post-inoculation (10, 30 and 50 d), and processed by high throughput sequencing analysis to identify candidate miRNA sequences. Bioinformatic analysis using screening criteria, and secondary structure prediction, indicated that 8 novel and 23 known miRNAs (including 15 miRNAs described for the first time in vivo) were produced by cucumber plants in response to CGMMV infection. Moreover, gene expression profiles (p-value <0.01) validated the expression of 3 of the novel miRNAs and 3 of the putative candidate miRNAs and identified a further 82 conserved miRNAs in CGMMV-infected cucumbers. Gene ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the predicted target genes of these 88 miRNAs, which were screened using the psRNATarget and miRanda algorithms, were involved in three functional categories: 2265 in molecular function, 1362 as cellular components and 276 in biological process. The subsequent Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that the predicted target genes were frequently involved in metabolic processes (166 pathways) and genetic information processes (40 pathways) and to a lesser degree the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites (12 pathways). These results could provide useful clues to help elucidate host-pathogen interactions in CGMMV and cucumber, as well as for the screening of resistance genes.
电子磁流体模型及Biermann电池效应和位移电流效应 (2013)

Electron magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) theory is extensively applied in astrophysical and space plasma studies, particularly in important physical processes such as magnetic field generation and/or reconnection. In recent laboratory simulation of certain space and astrophysical phenomena, and related laser plasma and high energy density physics researches, effects of displacement current and/or Biermann battery on conventional EMHD model are found significant. Based on analysis of EMHD approximations, in this paper, we study those effects on EMHD model and related important plasma physical processes.
Plane wave integral representation for fields in reverberation chambers (1998)

A plane wave integral representation is presented for well-stirred fields in a reverberation chamber. The representation automatically satisfies Maxwell's equations in a source-free region and the statistical properties of the fields are introduced through the angular spectrum, which is taken to be a random variable. Starting with fairly simple and physically appropriate assumptions for the angular spectrum, a number of properties of the electric and magnetic fields and the power received by an antenna or a test object are derived. Many of these properties and test object responses are in agreement with other theories or with measured results. An important result for radiated immunity testing is that the ensemble (stirring) average of received power is equal to the average over plane wave incidence and polarization.
Growth of laser host thin-film optical waveguides by pulsed laser deposition (1995)

Optical waveguides of laser gain media are highly desirable because the high intensity-length product and good pump-signal mode overlap, which can be achieved in the waveguide geometry, leads to a reduced threshold pump power as compared to bulk lasers. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) has emerged as a viable means of depositing epitaxial thin films of the correct composition. We report here the deposition of GGG and YGG thin films on YAG substrates and the deposition of sapphire on sapphire substrates.
Type I muscle atrophy caused by microgravity‐induced decrease of myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) protein expression (2000)

To investigate the molecular mechanisms of muscle atrophy under microgravity, the paraspinal muscles of rats after 14 days spaceflight and those of ground-based controls were examined. In the microgravitational environment, expressions of 42 genes changed, and the expressions of heat shock protein 70 and t complex polypeptide 1 increased. In Northern blotting, myocyte-specific enhancer binding factor 2C (MEF2C) and MEF2C-related genes including aldolase A and muscle ankyrin decreased. After 9 days ground recovery, expression of MEF2C increased and it was located mainly on the satellite cells in the muscle regeneration state. MEF2C could be a key transcriptional factor for skeletal muscle atrophy and regeneration under microgravity.
"Immunosubtraction" electrophoresis: a simple method for identifying specific proteins producing the cellulose acetate electrophoretogram. (1977)

<p>In this correspondence, we calculate the condition number of the linear operator mapping sequences of samples /(2fc), /(2fc+a),fc g Z of an unknown continuous / g L2 (R) consistently (in the senses of the Unser-Zerubia generalized sampling theory) onto the set of continuous, piecewise linear functions in L2(R) with nodes at the integers as a function of a g (0, 2). It turns out that the minimum condition numbers occur at a = √2/3 and a = 2 - √2/3 and not at a = 1, as we might have expected.</p>
Diffusion of Nonequilibrium Quasi-Particles in a Cuprate Superconductor (2003)

We report a transport study of nonequilibrium quasi-particles in a high-transition-temperature cuprate superconductor using the transient grating technique. Low-intensity laser excitation (at a photon energy of 1.5 electron volts) was used to introduce a spatially periodic density of quasi-particles into a high-quality untwinned single crystal of YBa2Cu3O6.5. Probing the evolution of the initial density through space and time yielded the quasi-particle diffusion coefficient and the inelastic and elastic scattering rates. The technique reported here is potentially applicable to precision measurements of quasi-particle dynamics not only in cuprate superconductors but in other electronic systems as well.
Cooperative Coded Video Multicast for IPTV Services under EPON-WiMAX Integration (2008)

This article introduces a novel framework of cooperative coded video multicast (CCVM) for provisioning IPTV services in metropolitan area access networks based on the emerging integration of Ethernet passive optical networks and WiMAX. The framework of CCVM is formed through the central coordination and synchronization at the optical line terminal and advanced coding techniques across different system layers. A cross-layer design of video multicasting on a single ONU-BS is first introduced for dealing with the multi-user channel diversity and short-term channel fluctuations, where the scalable video coding with multiple description coding (MDC) at the source and physical layer superposition coding techniques at the channel are jointly considered. This approach is further extended into the scenario that involves multiple ONU-BSs for cooperative communications to tackle intercell interference. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed framework is demonstrated via a case study on the employment of CCVM strategy under the collaboration of multiple distributed ONU-BSs.
The Religious Sources of Islamic Terrorism (2008)

Minimizing a religious explanation for Islamic terrorism, several analysts emphasize political and socioeconomic causes: the Arab-Israeli conflict, which Arabs view as an unendurable humiliation; the extension of Western political power and cultural influence into the Middle East, which is seen as still another humiliation; and the economic hardships that grip the Arab masses, which provide recruits for terrorist organizations. Shmuel Bar, a veteran of the Israeli intelligence community and a senior research fellow at an Israeli think-tank, recognizes the importance of these factors but maintains that they do "not do justice to the significance of the religious culture in which [Islamic terrorism] is rooted and nurtured," a culture in which there is no distinction between religion and politics. His essay examines the religious-ideological motivation for Islamic terrorism.
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors of the Stomach (2004)

Gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumors (GISTs), the specific KIT- or PDFGRA-signaling driven mesenchymal tumors, are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. In this study, we analyzed 1869 cases originally classified as smooth muscle tumors of the stomach and found that 1765 (94%) of these were GISTs. The GISTs had a slight male predominance (55%) with a median age of 63 years. Only 2.7% of tumors occurred before the age of 21 years and 9.1% before the age of 40 years. The tumors varied from 0.5 to 44 cm (median, 6.0 cm) and most commonly presented with GI bleeding; 12% were incidentally detected. Several histologic variants were recognized among the spindle cell tumors (sclerosing, palisaded-vacuolated, hypercellular, and sarcomatous) and of epithelioid tumors (sclerosing, dyscohesive, hypercellular, and sarcomatous). Outcome was strongly dependent on tumor size and mitotic activity. Only 2% to 3% of tumors <10 cm and <5 mitoses/50 HPFs metastasized, whereas 86% of tumors >10 cm and >5 mitoses/50 HPFs metastasized. However, tumors >10 cm with mitotic activity <5/50 HPFs and those <5 cm with mitoses >5/50 HPFs had a relatively low metastatic rate (11% and 15%). A small number of patients survived intra-abdominal metastasis up to over 20 years. Tumor location in fundus or gastroesophageal junction, coagulative necrosis, ulceration, and mucosal invasion were unfavorable factors (P <0.001), whereas tumor location in antrum was favorable (P <0.001). KIT expression was detected in 91% of the cases, CD34 in 82%, smooth muscle actin in 18%, and desmin in 5%; the latter two were favorable (P <0.001). KIT exon 11 mutations were detected in 119 cases; patients with point mutations fared better than those with deletions (P <0.01). PDGFRA exon 18 mutations (total 86 cases) were common in epithelioid GISTs and most commonly represented a D842V point mutation; none of these was prognostically significant. The above results may be helpful for setting the criteria for adjuvant treatment such as Gleevec.
Innervation of Periosteum and Bone by Sympathetic Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide-Containing Nerve Fibers (1986)

Neural control of bone metabolism and growth has been suggested, although the identity of participating neurons and neurotransmitters effecting this control has not been established. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated a system of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-immunoreactive nerve fibers that innervate periosteum and bone in several mammalian species. Thoracic sympathetic chain ganglionectomy resulted in an ipsilateral loss of VIP-immunoreactive fibers in the periosteum of ribs, whereas dorsal root ganglionectomy had no effect. Injection of fast blue into rib periosteum labeled a population of VIP-immunoreactive sympathetic postganglionic neurons. Thus, postganglionic sympathetic neurons may provide an important means by which VIP regulates bone mineralization.
Diastereocontrolled Synthesis of Phosphorothioate DNA via an Oxazaphospholidine Approach Using a Novel Class of Activators, Dialkyl(cyanomethyl)ammonium Salts (2003)

Dialkyl(cyanomethyl)ammonium salts 1 were synthesized and used as a novel class of activators for the stereospecific condensations of diastereopure nucleoside 3'-O-oxazaphospholidines with a nucleoside. This new oxazaphospholidine method could efficiently produce both (Rp)- and (Sp)-dinucleoside phosphorothioates.
A New Palmitoylethanolamide Form Combined with Antioxidant Molecules to Improve Its Effectivess on Neuronal Aging (2020)

Palmitoylethanolamide is a nutraceutical compound naturally produced in many plants and animal source foods, but the natural form is poorly water-soluble. It has demonstrated an anti-inflammatory role as a neuroprotective mediator, acting on several molecular targets of the central nervous system involved on brain aging process. In healthy adults, palmitoylethanolamide is an endogenous PPAR-α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α) agonist through which it performs anti-inflammatory activity and provides its effects by activating the cannabinoid receptor. The different formulations of palmitoylethanolamide (micronized palmitoylethanolamide, FM-LipoMatrix<sup>®</sup> palmitoylethanolamide and FM-LipoMatrix<sup>®</sup> palmitoylethanolamide plus lipoic acid and vitamin D3) were analyzed starting from intestinal barrier, to verify their bioavailability, to in primary astrocytes in which cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) production, NFKB activity, MAPK, p53 and PPARα activities were investigated. Additionally, cannabinoid and estrogen receptors were analyzed using the western blot technique. The combination of palmitoylethanolamide in FM-LipoMatrix<sup>®</sup>, lipoic acid and vitamin D3 shows better absorption predicting an improvement on plasma concentration; this formulation also shows a reduction in ROS and NO production and the data show the interaction of palmitoylethanolamide with cannabinoids and estrogen receptors inhibiting neuroinflammatory markers. All these data support the hypothesis of a new potential strategy to restore brain function and slow down brain aging in humans.
A two substrate dual polarised aperture coupled patch (2002)

We present a broadband dual polarised aperture coupled patch with high polarisation isolation. Both dual linear and dual circular configurations were investigated. Although dimensions are give for a specific substrate and frequency using the impedances and frequency scaling this design can be applied to other frequency bands. These particular designs were optimised for wide bandwidth but the concept can be applied to build antennas with varied specifications. The key to the designs is the use of two substrates; one on top of the aperture and one below.

DBLK: Deduplication for primary block storage (2011)

The deduplication block-device (DBLK) is a deduplication and compression system with a block device interface. It is used as a primary storage and block-wise deduplication is done inline. Since deduplication for primary storage requires low latency and detecting block-wise deduplication creates a large amount of metadata, it is necessary to efficiently use the memory of the system. We solved this problem by developing a multilayer Bloom filter (MBF) to reduce the size of the data structure in the memory for indexing duplicate data.

Azure Data Lake Store and Azure Data Lake Analytics (2018)

Microsoft Azure has done a lot to support data administrators and developers to provide a rich platform for big data workloads. Historically, Microsoft Azure, as a platform, was born being a PaaS offering solution only, and in this area we have always seen a more comprehensive offering compared to its competitors. On big data services, we must say that the effort Microsoft is providing in making the tools and technology rich and simple is remarkable.
Visual Responses to Time-Dependent Stimuli* I Amplitude Sensitivity Measurements† (1961)

With sinusoidal modulation of the radiance of the stimulus as a function of time, amplitude thresholds are measured instead of the repetition-rate thresholds usually obtained in flicker-fusion experiments. Controlling the modulation amplitude independently of the time-average radiance provides an additional degree of freedom, so that the observer’s adaptation level can be held constant while his amplitude sensitivity is measured as a function of the modulation frequency. With an “edgeless” flickering field, these amplitude sensitivity curves show a broad peak of maximum visual response, in the region from 10 to 20 cps at high photopic levels. Such classic relationships as the Ferry-Porter, Talbot-Plateau, and Weber-Fechner laws are derivable from the present results, as descriptions of the behavior of certain parts of the amplitude sensitivity curves as functions of adaptation level.
Analysis of thymic stromal cell subpopulations grown in vitro on extracellular matrix in defined medium. I. Growth conditions and morphology of murine thymic epithelial and mesenchymal cells. (1990)

We report here the successful selective cultivation of murine thymic mesenchymal reticular cells (MTMC) and murine thymic epithelial cells (MTEC) grown on extracellular matrix in the presence of defined medium. The selective growth of these two cell types was based on 1) conditions of tissue disruption and 2) differential growth requirements. Both cell types were dependent on transferrin, high density lipoproteins, insulin, hydrocortisone, and epidermal growth factor, whereas MTMC was dependent also on selenium and 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine. The elimination of single factors or extracellular matrix resulted in specific and different changes in the growth pattern of each cell subpopulation. Cells of both types exhibited the ultrastructural features of high metabolic activity. The epithelial nature of MTEC cultures was defined by bundles of tonofilaments and desmosomes and by positive staining to keratins and negative to vimentin. In addition MTEC were positively stained with mAb to thymic medullary epithelial cells and by Ulex europeus agglutinin, and were able to form Hassall's corpuscles, suggesting their medullary origin. MTEC were also H-2 and Ia positive. In contrast MTMC were positive for vimentin and periodic acid-Schiff, low positive for H-2, and negative for keratin and Ia. Both cells did not contain nonspecific esterase, nor did they phagocytize latex beads. With the use of all these criteria we classified MTEC as epithelial cells from the medullary compartment of the thymus and MTMC as reticular cells of mesenchymal origin.
