Lithium Metal Anodes: Artificial Soft–Rigid Protective Layer for Dendrite‐Free Lithium Metal Anode (Adv. Funct. Mater. 8/2018) (2018)

In article number 1705838, Jia-Qi Huang and co-workers demonstrate a soft–rigid hybrid artificial protective layer for dendrite-free lithium metal anodes. The hybrid artificial protective layer can tolerate large volume fluctuations and suppress the growth of lithium dendrites during repeated lithium plating/stripping. This stratergy provides a feasible approach to improve Li metal anodes towards the application of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.
Application of Adjoint Methodology to Supersonic Aircraft Design Using Reversed Equivalent Areas (2014)

This paper presents an approach to shape an aircraft to equivalent-area-based objectives using the discrete adjoint approach. Equivalent areas can be obtained either using reversed the augmented Burgers equation or direct conversion of off-body pressures into equivalent areas. Formal coupling with computational fluid dynamics allows computation of sensitivities of equivalent-area objectives with respect to aircraft shape parameters. The exactness of the adjoint sensitivities is verified against derivatives obtained using the complex step approach. This methodology has the benefit of using designer-friendly equivalent areas in the shape design of low-boom aircraft. Shape optimization results with equivalent-area cost functionals are discussed and further refined using ground loudness-based objectives.
SQV-7, a protein involved in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> epithelial invagination and early embryogenesis, transports UDP-glucuronic acid, UDP- <i>N</i> - acetylgalactosamine, and UDP-galactose (2001)

Caenorhabditis elegans sqv mutants are defective in vulval epithelial invagination and have a severe reduction in hermaphrodite fertility. The gene sqv-7 encodes a multitransmembrane hydrophobic protein resembling nucleotide sugar transporters of the Golgi membrane. A Golgi vesicle enriched fraction of Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing SQV-7 transported UDP-glucuronic acid, UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine, and UDP-galactose (Gal) in a temperature-dependent and saturable manner. These nucleotide sugars are competitive, alternate, noncooperative substrates. The two mutant sqv-7 missense alleles resulted in a severe reduction of these three transport activities. SQV-7 did not transport CMP-sialic acid, GDP-fucose, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, UDP-glucose, or GDP-mannose. SQV-7 is able to transport UDP-Gal in vivo, as shown by its ability to complement the phenotype of Madin-Darby canine kidney ricin resistant cells, a mammalian cell line deficient in UDP-Gal transport into the Golgi. These results demonstrate that unlike most nucleotide sugar transporters, SQV-7 can transport multiple distinct nucleotide sugars. We propose that SQV-7 translocates multiple nucleotide sugars into the Golgi lumen for the biosynthesis of glycoconjugates that play a pivotal role in development.
A &#x2212;189 dBc/Hz FOM<inf>T</inf> wide tuning range Ka-band VCO using tunable negative capacitance and inductance redistribution (2013)

An ultra wideband LC voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) operating in the Ka-band with equally spaced sub-band coarse tuning characteristics is proposed and characterized. A tunable negative capacitance (TNC) circuit technique is used to cancel the fixed capacitance in the LC-tank to extend the tuning range (TR). A digitally-switched varactor coarse tuning structure with an inductance redistribution technique is utilized to reduce VCO gain (K <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">V</sub> ) and retain uniform spacing between tuning curves. The proposed VCO structure and a baseline VCO are fabricated in a 130 nm CMOS process. Compared to the reference VCO, the proposed VCO achieves a 34% increase in TR with maximum K <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">V</sub> of 450 MHz/V. The measured worst-case phase noise is -100.1 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset across the TR from 30.5 GHz to 39.6 GHz. The power dissipation of the VCO core is 11 mW from a 1.2 V supply. The TNC-based VCO achieves a FOM <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">T</sub> of -189 dBc/Hz, which is the highest reported at the Ka-band.
Amino acid sequences of two novel long-chain neurotoxins from the venom of the sea snake <i>Laticauda colubrina</i> (1982)

From the venom of a population of the sea snake Laticauda colubrina from the Solomon Islands, a neurotoxic component, Laticauda colubrina a (toxin Lc a), was isolated in 16.6% (A280) yield. Similarly, from the venom of a population of L. colubrina from the Philippines, a neurotoxic component, Laticauda colubrina b (toxin Lc b), was obtained in 10.0% (A280) yield. The LD50 values of these toxins were 0.12 microgram/g body wt. on intramuscular injection in mice. Toxins Lc a and Lc b were each composed of molecules containing 69 amino acid residues with eight half-cystine residues. The complete amino acid sequences of these two toxins were elucidated. Toxins Lc a and Lc b are different from each other at five positions of their sequences, namely at positions 31 (Phe/Ser), 32 (Leu/Ile), 33 (Lys/Arg), 50 (Pro/Arg) and 53 (Asp/His) (residues in parentheses give the residues in toxins Lc a and Lc b respectively). Toxins Lc a and Lc b have a novel structure in that they have only four disulphide bridges, although the whole amino acid sequences are homologous to those of other known long-chain neurotoxins. It is remarkable that toxins Lc a and Lc b are not coexistent at the detection error of 6% of the other toxin. Populations of Laticauda colubrina from the Solomon Islands and from the Philippines have either toxin Lc a or toxin Lc b and not both of them.
Nonlinear state-dependent delay modeling and stability analysis of internet congestion control (2010)

It is shown that the queuing delay involved in the congestion control algorithm is state-dependent and does not depend on the current time. Then, using an accurate formulation for buffers, networks with arbitrary topologies can be built. At equilibrium, our model reduces to the widely used setup by Paganini et al. Using this model, the delay-derivative is analyzed and it is proved that the delay time-derivative does not exceed one for the considered topologies. It is then shown that the considered congestion control algorithm globally stabilizes a delay-free single buffer network. Finally, using a specific linearization result for systems with state-dependent delays from Cooke and Huang, we show the local stability of the single bottleneck network.
Comprehensive Meta-analysis of Ontology Annotated 16S rRNA Profiles Identifies Beta Diversity Clusters of Environmental Bacterial Communities (2015)

Comprehensive mapping of environmental microbiomes in terms of their compositional features remains a great challenge in understanding the microbial biosphere of the Earth. It bears promise to identify the driving forces behind the observed community patterns and whether community assembly happens deterministically. Advances in Next Generation Sequencing allow large community profiling studies, exceeding sequencing data output of conventional methods in scale by orders of magnitude. However, appropriate collection systems are still in a nascent state. We here present a database of 20,427 diverse environmental 16S rRNA profiles from 2,426 independent studies, which forms the foundation of our meta-analysis. We conducted a sample size adaptive all-against-all beta diversity comparison while also respecting phylogenetic relationships of Operational Taxonomic Units(OTUs). After conventional hierarchical clustering we systematically test for enrichment of Environmental Ontology terms and their abstractions in all possible clusters. This post-hoc algorithm provides a novel formalism that quantifies to what extend compositional and semantic similarity of microbial community samples coincide. We automatically visualize significantly enriched subclusters on a comprehensive dendrogram of microbial communities. As a result we obtain the hitherto most differentiated and comprehensive view on global patterns of microbial community diversity. We observe strong clusterability of microbial communities in ecosystems such as human/mammal-associated, geothermal, fresh water, plant-associated, soils and rhizosphere microbiomes, whereas hypersaline and anthropogenic samples are less homogeneous. Moreover, saline samples appear less cohesive in terms of compositional properties than previously reported.
Reproducibility of radiomics for deciphering tumor phenotype with imaging (2016)

Radiomics (radiogenomics) characterizes tumor phenotypes based on quantitative image features derived from routine radiologic imaging to improve cancer diagnosis, prognosis, prediction and response to therapy. Although radiomic features must be reproducible to qualify as biomarkers for clinical care, little is known about how routine imaging acquisition techniques/parameters affect reproducibility. To begin to fill this knowledge gap, we assessed the reproducibility of a comprehensive, commonly-used set of radiomic features using a unique, same-day repeat computed tomography data set from lung cancer patients. Each scan was reconstructed at 6 imaging settings, varying slice thicknesses (1.25 mm, 2.5 mm and 5 mm) and reconstruction algorithms (sharp, smooth). Reproducibility was assessed using the repeat scans reconstructed at identical imaging setting (6 settings in total). In separate analyses, we explored differences in radiomic features due to different imaging parameters by assessing the agreement of these radiomic features extracted from the repeat scans reconstructed at the same slice thickness but different algorithms (3 settings in total). Our data suggest that radiomic features are reproducible over a wide range of imaging settings. However, smooth and sharp reconstruction algorithms should not be used interchangeably. These findings will raise awareness of the importance of properly setting imaging acquisition parameters in radiomics/radiogenomics research.
A Study on the characteristics of the EUI-GUE DO and the costumes of the Royale Family (1986)

This dissertation is a study of the costume of the Yi dynasty by means of an investigation of the Ka-rae-do-gam-Eui-gue Do(嘉禮都監儀軌圖: a collection of paintings of the royal wedding ceremonies and processions issued by the royal court) and the Jung-ri Do(整理儀軌圖: a collection of a series of paintings showing the whole process of the royal courtesies and ceremonies on the occasion of the king's visit to Hyun-yoong Won in Hwa-sung in 1975年). The Yi dynasty period is roughly divided into two parts. The first period extends from 1392, in which the reign of the dynasty started, to 1600, when Imjin Waeran(the Japanese Invasion of Korea) ended; the second period lasts from 1600 to the last day of the dynasty in 1910. Of the Eui-gue Do(儀軌圖: paintings of the royal ceremonies) which were made in the first period of the dynasty, there is no extant example, the reference to which is found only in records. However, the examples of the Eui-gue Do belonging to the second period remain abundant in number, together with the detailed accounts about them. The followings are the conclusions deduced from this study, which tries to illuminate the pictorial characteristics as well as the traits of costume manifested in the above-mentioned two groups of paintings. Most of the costume seen in the Ka-rae-do-gam and the Jung-ri were not clad in accordance with the wearer's individual desire or taste, but in strict conformity with the norm and sense of order in the society based on the Cosfucian political and ethical principles.
Synthesis and Structure of ITQ‐3, the First Pure Silica Polymorph with a Two‐Dimensional System of Straight Eight‐Ring Channels (1997)

Hydrothermal syntheses in fluoride medium readily yield very open materials, as the example of ITQ-3 demonstrates. This new polymorph of silica with the formula [SiO2]64 has a framework characterized by a low density (16.3 SiO4 tetrahedra per 1000 Å3), a very large void volume (0.23 cm3 g−1), and a two-dimensional system of straight channels whose intersection defines a large cage (picture on the right).

Heterojunction BiFET technology for high speed electronic systems (2002)

A GaAs BiFET LSI technology has been successfully developed for high speed, low power and mixed signal circuit applications. The direct placement of the FET on the HBT emitter cap layer simplifies the device epitaxial growth and process integration. High integration levels and functional circuit yield have been achieved. Excellent HBT and FET characteristics have bean produced, with the noise figure of the FETs comparable to those of traditional MESFETs, enabling them to perform well in front end receiver applications. Through this technology, several LSI circuits, including a 2 Gsps 2-bit prototype DRFM, 2 GHz 32/spl times/2 bit shift registers, sample and hold circuits with 9-bit resolution at 200 Msps and SRAMs with ultra-fast access time (330 ps) have been successfully demonstrated.
Formation of Stacked Disc-shaped Layered Double Hydroxides by Homogeneous Precipitation Method (2014)

Abstract Effect of glycine addition in reaction systems on the morphology of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was investigated. The morphology of LDH crystals synthesized by homogeneous precipitation changed from hexagonal plate to stacked disc on increasing the glycine concentration. The morphological changes most likely occurred because of the interaction of glycine molecules with the LDH crystal surfaces. These findings may be applicable to the development of highly functional LDH materials through the control of crystal morphology.
Characterization and separation of the arachidonic acid 5-lipoxygenase and linoleic acid omega-6 lipoxygenase (arachidonic acid 15-lipoxygenase) of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. (1985)

The cytosolic fraction of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes precipitated with 60% ammonium sulfate produced 5-lipoxygenase products from [14C]arachidonic acid and omega-6 lipoxygenase products from both [14C]linoleic acid and, to a lesser extent, [14C]- and [3H]arachidonic acid. The arachidonyl 5-lipoxygenase products 5-hydroperoxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) and 5-hydroxy-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) derived from [14C]arachidonic acid, and the omega-6 lipoxygenase products 13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid (13-OOH linoleic acid) and 13-hydroxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid (13-OH linoleic acid) derived from [14C]linoleic acid and 15-hydroxyperoxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HPETE), and 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) derived from [14C]- and [3H]arachidonic acid were identified by TLC-autoradiography and by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Products were quantitated by counting samples that had been scraped from replicate TLC plates and by determination of the integrated optical density during RP-HPLC. The arachidonyl 5-lipoxygenase had a pH optimum of 7.5 and was 50% maximally active at a Ca2+ concentration of 0.05 mM; the Km for production of 5-HPETE/5-HETE from arachidonic acid was 12.2 +/- 4.5 microM (mean +/- S.D., n = 3), and the Vmax was 2.8 +/- 0.9 nmol/min X mg protein (mean +/- S.D., n = 3). The omega-6 linoleic lipoxygenase had a pH optimum of 6.5 and was 50% maximally active at a Ca2+ concentration of 0.1 mM in the presence of 5 mM EGTA. When the arachidonyl 5-lipoxygenase and the omega-6 lipoxygenase were separated by DEAE-Sephadex ion exchange chromatography, the omega-6 lipoxygenase exhibited a Km of 77.2 microM and a Vmax of 9.5 nmol/min X mg protein (mean, n = 2) for conversion of linoleic acid to 13-OOH/13-OH linoleic acid and a Km of 63.1 microM and a Vmax of 5.3 nmol/min X mg protein (mean, n = 2) for formation of 15-HPETE/15-HETE from arachidonic acid.
Bidirectional quantitative color schlieren (2006)

A quantitative bidirectional color schlieren system is presented, analyzed, and demonstrated. This method is capable of measuring simultaneously two components of deflection angles in two perpendicular spatial directions. The system acts as two independent schlieren setups with perpendicular knife-edge orientations. The method employs a two-color filter. A bidirectional heterodyne schlieren method is presented as well. The system is demonstrated by measuring various phase objects and compared with conventional schlieren. The sensitivity of the measurements can be significantly improved over the existing bidirectional schlieren methods. Moreover, the system is conceptually simple and inexpensive.
Affinity Chromatography and Purification of the Insulin Receptor of Liver Cell Membranes (1972)

Relatively simple and rapid procedures are described for the large-scale preparation of liver membranes that contain virtually all of the high affinity insulin-binding activity of liver homogenates. The presumed insulin recepotr, which is extracted from these membranes in soluble form with Triton X-100, can be further purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation (3-fold purification) or by diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography (60-fold purification). Several insulin-agarose derivatives have been synthesized that can efficiently extract the insulin-binding protein from the detergent extracts of the membranes. The receptor macro-molecule can be eluted from the affinity columns in high (50-80%) yield by use of urea-containing buffers of moderately low pH. The receptor, thus purified by small-scale affinity chromatography experiments, approaches theoretical purity on the basis of its specific activity. This protein is purified about 250,000-fold from the liver homogenate by detergent extraction and affinity chromatography.
Reliability of Nano-Meter Thick Multi-Layer Dielectric Films on Poly-Crystalline Silicon (1987)

A guiding principle of designing double layer dielectric film (SiO2/Si3N4) on poly-Si was established in order to scale down VLSIs. The oxidation of Si3N4 reduces leakage current and defect density. The double layer dielectric film with thinner top oxide layer is harder to breakdown. Hence, the thickness of the top oxide layer must be reduced in order to increase the reliability of double layer dielectrics. The perimeter edge of patterned poly-Si electrode has no affect on the reliability of double-layer dielectric films. As a result. the SiO2/Si3N4 was confirmed to be a high reliable nano-meter thick dielectrics on poly-Si.

Rotational Diffusion of Monodisperse Liquid Crystal Droplets (1998)

We have prepared monodisperse suspensions of nematic liquid crystal droplets in water. The droplets are stabilized by polyvinyl alcohol, a polymer that induces planar anchoring of the liquid crystal molecules at the surface of the droplets. The resultant particles exhibit strong optical anisotropy while having a spherical shape. As a consequence, the light scattering from the particles contains a strong depolarized component. We report a simple application of this feature by performing dynamic light scattering experiments to measure the rotational diffusion of colloidal spheres in a dilute suspension.
Ponatinib Protects Mice From Lethal Influenza Infection by Suppressing Cytokine Storm (2019)

Excessive inflammation associated with the uncontrolled release of pro-inflammatory cytokines is the main cause of death from influenza virus infection. Previous studies have indicated that inhibition of interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10), interleukin-8 (IL-8), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), or their cognate receptors has beneficial effects. Here, by using monocytic U937 cells that capable of secreting the three important cytokines during influenza A virus infection, we measured the inhibitory activities on the production of three cytokines of six anti-inflammatory compounds reported in other models of inflammation. We found that ponatinib had a highly inhibitory effect on the production of all three cytokines. We tested ponatinib in a mouse influenza model to assess its therapeutic effects with different doses and administration times and found that the delayed administration of ponatinib was protective against lethal influenza A virus infection without reducing virus titers. Therefore, we suggest that ponatinib may serve as a new immunomodulator in the treatment of influenza.
