Design and implementation of a RSFQ superconductive digital electronics cell library (2011)

Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) cells are key in the design of complex and applicable RSFQ electronic circuits.These cells are low-level circuit elements that are used repeatedly to build larger, applicable RSFQ circuitry.Making these cells simple to layout and manufacture, but reliable for extensive use demands a careful development process for RSFQ cells.Cell functionality is verified through simulations, thereafter the cell is laid out in special software packages.Inductance of on-chip superconductor structures is extracted through careful modelling with numerical field solver software.A cell library has been developed by incorporating existing or published cells after further analysis and optimization, as well as developing new cells.Cells that have been adapted into the library include the Josephson transmission line (JTL), Splitter, Merger, D-Flip Flop (DFF), T-Flip Flop (TFF), NOT, AND, OR and XOR, DC-SFQ and SFQ-DC and PTL Driver and Receivers.New cells include NOR, NAND and XNOR.The cells were designed for the IPHT's RSFQ1D 1kA/cm 2 and Hypres' 4.5kA/cm 2 processes.The cells in the library have good bias current operating margins obtained through simulations (> 26%).All cells have all the parameters listed in the thesis including extracted inductance values.In order to have a complete and verified RSFQ cell library, cells have been sent for fabrication at IPHT and Hypres facilities.These cells can now be tested on-chip, in the laboratory, to establish functionality and practical bias current margins.All test signal patterns and bias currents required for testing are defined to allow co-workers or collaborators to test the cells.iii
<title>Retinalike space variant CCD sensor</title> (1990)

The retina is a smart sensor, but in the sense of intelligent design and not on-chip computing power. It uses a unique layout and elementary charge computing elements to implement in hardware a polar-exponential transform on visual data. The final chip includes a large section of photosites arranged in a circular pattern. Further, the pixels grow m size as radial distance increases. The retina also has a fovea (a high resolution area at the chip's center) and the computational circuitry. The sensor works and will serve as the key component of a real-time imaging system.

1Tb/s quad carrier DP 8QAM transmission over 9280 km is reported at a spectral efficiency of 4.54 b/s/Hz thanks to the proposed joint transmitter maximum a posterior (MAP) pre distortion and receiver correction scheme.
TREATMENT WITH GENTAMICIN MONITORED BY SERUM ANTIBIOTIC ASSAY (1976)

Gentamicin is very widely accepted as the most effective antibiotic for treatment of a number of serious Gram-negative infections, but one disadvantage associated with its use is the risk of toxicity particularly affecting the eighth nerve. An account is given of eight years' experience with this antibiotic in which obvious ototoxicity was avoided in hospitalized patients in whom gentamicin treatment was monitored by assay of the residual amounts of antibiotic present in the serum. The relationship between accumulation of gentamicin in patients with renal impairment and ototoxicity is discussed. Attention is drawn also to the presence of an increased risk of ototoxicity in patients, particularly the elderly, in whom mild-to-moderate degrees of renal impairment may be overlooked. In such patients modification of the frequency of the dose of gentamicin is necessary and a schedule of treatment based on the results of assay of residual serum levels of gentamicin is given.
Soldier Network Extension (SNE) On-The-Move Satellite Communications (SATCOM) for Army Tactical Battalion-Level Network Healing and Thickening (2007)

This paper describes the scope and effort that were required in establishing the integrated communication architecture for the lower echelon Army tactical warfighter that needs networked services On-The-Move. One of the lessons learned from Iraq and Afghanistan was the needfor a more robust Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS) communication capability between the lower Army echelon Land Warriors, Squad Leaders, Platoon Leaders, Company Commanders and the Battalion Commanders. These lower echelon units currently rely on radios that are propagation range constrained to the Line-Of-Sight (LOS) distance between the radios. The tactical communications radios that currently service the lower echelon Army units currently are dominated by Combat Network Radios (CNRs) that are dominated by the Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) and the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS). The BLOS communications capability of the SNE combined with its ability to communicate OTM will help to close the communication gap existing between the various tactical legacy radio networks. This shortfall was identified by a TRADOC study, and need for a low cost Single Integrated Transport System (SITS) was suggested. The basic requirements for providing this lower echelon communications solution include. • Interface compatibility requirements with future networking systems • Potential for interoperability with higher echelons • Baseband compatibility requirements with existing digitized lower echelon units • Information Assurance (IA)/Encryption Requirements • At-The-Halt (ATH)/On-The-Move (OTM) Capabilities These requirements formed that basis of the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) Soldier Network Extension (SNE) program.
Microwave Photonics (2009)

Broadband and low loss capability of photonics has led to an ever-increasing interest in its use for the generation, processing, control and distribution of microwave and millimeter-wave signals for applications such as broadband wireless access networks, sensor networks, radar, satellite communitarians, instrumentation and warfare systems. In this tutorial, techniques developed in the last few years in microwave photonics are reviewed with an emphasis on the systems architectures for photonic generation and processing of microwave signals, photonic true-time delay beamforming, radio-over-fiber systems, and photonic analog-to-digital conversion. Challenges in system implementation for practical applications and new areas of research in microwave photonics are also discussed.
Large-Scale Crowdsourced Study for Tone-Mapped HDR Pictures (2017)

Measuring digital picture quality, as perceived by human observers, is increasingly important in many applications in which humans are the ultimate consumers of visual information. Standard dynamic range (SDR) images provide 8 b/color/pixel. High dynamic range (HDR) images, usually created from multiple exposures of the same scene, can provide 16 or 32 b/color/pixel, but need to be tonemapped to SDR for display on standard monitors. Multiexposure fusion (MEF) techniques bypass HDR creation by fusing an exposure stack directly to SDR images to achieve aesthetically pleasing luminance and color distributions. Many HDR and MEF databases have a relatively small number of images and human opinion scores, obtained under stringently controlled conditions, thereby limiting realistic viewing. Moreover, many of these databases are intended to compare tone-mapping algorithms, rather than being specialized for developing and comparing image quality assessment models. To overcome these challenges, we conducted a massively crowdsourced online subjective study. The primary contributions described in this paper are: 1) the new ESPL-LIVE HDR Image Database that we created containing diverse images obtained by tone-mapping operators and MEF algorithms, with and without post-processing; 2) a large-scale subjective study that we conducted using a crowdsourced platform to gather more than 300 000 opinion scores on 1811 images from over 5000 unique observers; and 3) a detailed study of the correlation performance of the state-of-the-art no-reference image quality assessment algorithms against human opinion scores of these images. The database is available at http://signal.ece.utexas.edu/%7Edebarati/HDRDatabase.zip.
Gradual Diagnostic Test Generation and Observation Point Insertion Based on the Structural Distance Between Indistinguished Fault Pairs (2011)

The size of a diagnostic test set is significantly larger than the size of a fault detection test set. As a result, fault detection test sets may be used for initial defect diagnosis, and diagnostic tests may be added as needed to narrow down a set of candidate defect sites. Between a fault detection test set and a full diagnostic test set there is a large range of test sets that can be used for improved (initial) diagnosis. This paper describes a diagnostic test generation process that produces such a range of test sets. The process is based on a ranking of the indistinguished fault pairs according to the importance of distinguishing them. The ranking is based on the structural distance between faults. This allows failure analysis to explore fewer and more localized areas of the circuit as the size of the diagnostic test set is increased. This paper also discusses the insertion of observation points to distinguish fault pairs that remain indistinguished by a diagnostic test set. Observation point insertion uses the ranked list of indistinguished fault pairs to ensure that a limited number of observation points will address the fault pairs that are the most important to distinguish.
A Novel Secreted Endoglycosidase from Enterococcus faecalis with Activity on Human Immunoglobulin G and Ribonuclease B (2004)

The human pathogen Enterococcus faecalis can degrade the N-linked glycans of human RNase B to acquire nutrients, but no gene or protein has been associated with this activity. We identified an 88-kDa secreted protein, endoglycosidase (Endo) E, which is most likely responsible for this activity. EndoE, encoded by ndoE, consists of an alpha-domain with a family 18 glycosyl hydrolase motif and a beta-domain similar to family 20 glycosyl hydrolases. Phylogenetic analysis of EndoE indicates that the alpha-domain is related to human chitobiases, and the beta-domain is related to bacterial and human hexosaminidases. Recombinant expression of full-length EndoE or EndoEalpha, site-directed mutagenesis of the catalytic residues, mass spectroscopy, and homology modeling shows that EndoEalpha hydrolyzes the glycan on human RNase B, whereas EndoEbeta hydrolyzes the conserved glycan on IgG. Denaturation experiments indicate that the chitinase activity on RNase B is not dependent on the tertiary structure, although it is on IgG. The ndoE gene and secreted EndoE are present in most E. faecalis but not in Enterococcus faecium isolates. Correspondingly, E. faecalis, but not E. faecium, degrades the glycan on RNase B during growth. Thus, we have identified a secreted enzyme from E. faecalis, EndoE, which by two distinct activities hydrolyzes the glycans on RNase B and IgG. Both activities could be important for the molecular pathogenesis and persistence of E. faecalis during human infections.
Amorphous-SiC thin-film p-i-n light-emitting diode using amorphous-SiN hot-carrier tunneling injection layers (1989)

An approach to improve the luminosity of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H)-based thin-film visible light-emitting diodes is discussed. High bandgap near-stoichiometric hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiN:H) is utilized as a hot-carrier tunneling injection layer. An improvement of both carrier injection efficiency and luminosity is observed. Technical data on the new approach for carrier injection and on the recombination mechanism are presented. Preliminary results are also presented on the photoluminescence and electroluminescence properties of a-SiC:H/a-SiN:H multilayers.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
PCE-based inter-domain lightpath provisioning (2012)

Despite the research advances in intra-domain light-path provisioning in WDM networks, efficient and practical schemes for path computation and resource advertisement in multi-domain mesh networks still need to be developed. Most of the proposed solutions in the literature lacks the ability to convey optical network-specific Traffic Engineering information and are based on periodic message flooding technique. The proposed solution provides a novel and economical way to disseminate information while performing the domain chain computation. It also provides a policy-based wavelength selection scheme that allows a load balanced provisioning of end-to-end lightpaths.
Towards functional proteomics of minority component of honeybee royal jelly: The effect of post‐translational modifications on the antimicrobial activity of apalbumin2 (2009)

This study illustrates multifunctionality of proteins of honeybee royal jelly (RJ) and how their neofunctionalization result from various PTMs of maternal proteins. Major proteins of RJ, designated as apalbumins belong to a protein family consisting of nine members with M(r) of 49-87 kDa and they are accompanied by high number of minority homologs derived from maternal apalbumins. In spite of many data on diversity of apalbumins, the molecular study of their individual minority homologous is still missing. This work is a contribution to functional proteomics of second most abundant protein of RJ apalbumin2 (M(r) 52.7 kDa). We have purified a minority protein from RJ; named as apalbumin2a, differ from apalbumin2 in M(r) (48.6 kDa), in N-terminal amino acids sequences - ENSPRN and in N-linked glycans. Characterization of apalbumin2a by LC-MALDI TOF/TOF MS revealed that it is a minority homolog of the major basic royal jelly protein, apalbumin2, carrying two fully occupied N-glycosylation sites, one with high-mannose structure, HexNAc2Hex9, and another carrying complex type antennary structures, HexNAc4Hex3 and HexNAc5Hex4. We have found that apalbumin2a inhibit growth of Paenibacillus larvae. The obtained data call attention to functional plasticity of RJ proteins with potential impact on functional proteomics in medicine.
Modular Synthesis of Amphiphilic Janus Glycodendrimers and Their Self-Assembly into Glycodendrimersomes and Other Complex Architectures with Bioactivity to Biomedically Relevant Lectins (2013)

The modular synthesis of 7 libraries containing 51 self-assembling amphiphilic Janus dendrimers with the monosaccharides D-mannose and D-galactose and the disaccharide D-lactose in their hydrophilic part is reported. These unprecedented sugar-containing dendrimers are named amphiphilic Janus glycodendrimers. Their self-assembly by simple injection of THF or ethanol solution into water or buffer and by hydration was analyzed by a combination of methods including dynamic light scattering, confocal microscopy, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform analysis, and micropipet-aspiration experiments to assess mechanical properties. These libraries revealed a diversity of hard and soft assemblies, including unilamellar spherical, polygonal, and tubular vesicles denoted glycodendrimersomes, aggregates of Janus glycodendrimers and rodlike micelles named glycodendrimer aggregates and glycodendrimermicelles, cubosomes denoted glycodendrimercubosomes, and solid lamellae. These assemblies are stable over time in water and in buffer, exhibit narrow molecular-weight distribution, and display dimensions that are programmable by the concentration of the solution from which they are injected. This study elaborated the molecular principles leading to single-type soft glycodendrimersomes assembled from amphiphilic Janus glycodendrimers. The multivalency of glycodendrimersomes with different sizes and their ligand bioactivity were demonstrated by selective agglutination with a diversity of sugar-binding protein receptors such as the plant lectins concanavalin A and the highly toxic mistletoe Viscum album L. agglutinin, the bacterial lectin PA-IL from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and, of special biomedical relevance, human adhesion/growth-regulatory galectin-3 and galectin-4. These results demonstrated the candidacy of glycodendrimersomes as new mimics of biological membranes with programmable glycan ligand presentations, as supramolecular lectin blockers, vaccines, and targeted delivery devices.
[Collagen disease. Autoimmune disease]. (1995)

Collagen disease is systemic autoimmune disease and consists of a lot of diseases with each clinical entity. for exact diagnosis, it is important to choose essential laboratory tests for the patient suspected of collagen disease in daily primary medical care. A guideline for the use of clinical laboratory tests for patients with collagen disease was proposed by the Japan Society of Clinical Pathology. This guideline was discussed repeatedly by subcommittee members of "the uses of clinical laboratory tests in daily primary medical care" and published on September of 1990. When the clinicians are suspected of the collagen disease from detailed history taking and physical examination, they must precisely interpret results of the essential laboratory tests. Urinalysis, hematology, ESR and CRP and Biochemistry show characteristic findings in the collagen disease, respectively. If further suspicion of the collagen disease is intensive, the clinicians proceed with the primary screening tests for collagen disease; rheumatoid factor, ANF, anti DNA antibody, LE test, STS and CH50. Finally, specific tests for each collagen disease are carried out to define the diagnosis; e.g. LE cell, anti-Sm antibody, IC, Coombs test and biopsy of kidney for SLE. This paper is presented on the intention of the guideline of clinical laboratory tests for the collagen disease and its issues. As it passed 4 years after published, this guideline should be more discussed and revised.
Chemotherapy of human colon cancer xenografts in athymic nude mice (1977)

The lack of effective chemotherapy in advanced colon cancer and difficulties in evaluating response in clinical trials indicate a need for experimental models to screen new agents for activity against this specific type of cancer. Xenografts of human colon cancer in nude mice reproduce many features of the original tumor specimen and could be expected to predict drug response for colon cancer with more specificity than previously used screens. NIH-Swiss nude mice bearing subcutaneous (s.c.) trocar implants of tumor tissue were used in these studies. Three serially transplantable lines of human colon cancer (designated “HT”, “CA”, and “BE”), which range in their degree of differentiation from well-differentiated adenocarcinoma to undifferentiated carcinoma, were used for drug testing. Treatment was delayed until tumors had reached 60-600 mg in mass to correspond to advanced tumors in patients. Drugs being developed for clinical trial by NCI were selected for testing against the xenografts based on promising activity against transplantable murine tumor lines and difference in mechanism of action. Two antimetabolites, PALA and Baker's antifol, a mitotic spindle poison, maytansine, and a DNA intercalating agent, AMSA, produced no significant regression in any of the three colon xenograft lines. From the group of the nitrosoureas, methylCCNU and chlorozotocin were tested. MethylCCNU caused no regression of line HT, a transient response of line CA and complete regressions of line BE. Chlorozotocin also caused regression of line BE but had no effect on the other tumor lines. The results of chemotherapy studies with human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice reflect the clinical situation where few objective responses are achieved with presently available chemotherapy. We would conclude from these studies that information about activity against colon cancer of a new drug may be gained by testing the drug against a panel of human colon cancer xenografts. Careful clinical followup studies and parallel studies with xenograft systems should establish the correlation between individual clinical response and response in the xenograft system.
Experimental validation of an analytical method of calculating SPECT projection data (1997)

The authors have developed a method for analytically calculating photon distributions in SPECT projections. This method models primary photon distributions as well as first and second order Compton scattering and Rayleigh scattering. It uses no free fitting parameters and so the projections produced are completely determined by the characteristics of the SPECT camera system, the energy of the isotope, an estimate of the source distribution and an attenuation map of the scattering object. The method was previously validated by comparison with Monte Carlo simulations and the authors are now verifying its accuracy with respect to phantom experiments. They have performed experiments using a Siemens MS3 SPECT camera system for a /sup 99m/Tc point source (2 mm in diameter) within a homogeneous water bath, a small spherical source (1 cm in diameter) within a homogeneous water cylinder, the small spherical source within a non-homogeneous medium consisting of air and water, and the small spherical source together with. A larger spherical source (2.8 cm. in diameter) in a non-homogeneous air and water medium. The authors' technique reproduces well the distribution of photons in the experimentally acquired projections for all of these cases.
