Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of Single-Carbon-Nanotube-Based Infrared Sensors (2008)

As a 1-D nanostructural material, carbon nanotube (CNT) has attracted lot of attention and has been used to build various nanoelectronic devices due to its unique electronic properties. In this paper, a reliable and efficient nanomanufacturing process was developed for building single-CNT-based nanodevices by depositing the CNTs on the substrate surface and then aligning them to bridge the electrode gap using the atomic force microscopy (AFM) based nanomanipulation. With this technology, single CNT-based IR sensors have been fabricated for investigating CNT's electronic and photonic properties. The fabrication of single-CNT-based IR sensors demonstrated the reliability and efficiency of the nanomanufacturing process. Experimental tests on single-multiwalled-CNT-based IR sensors have shown much larger photocurrent and quantum efficiency than other reported studies. It has also been shown that a high signal to dark current ratio can be accomplished by single-walled-CNT (SWNT) based IR sensors. Moreover, the testing of SWNT-bundle-based IR sensors verified that the performance of CNT bundle/film-based nanoelectronic devices was limited by the mixing of semiconducting CNTs and metallic CNTs, as well as the unstable CNT-CNT junctions in a CNT bundle or network.

Effect of water extracts of crude drugs in decreasing blood ethanol concentrations in rats. (1987)

Oral administration of ethanol to rats at a dose of 3 g/kg decreased the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity in liver cytosol. The effects of water extracts of eight crude drugs, which are believed to have protective activities against alcohol toxicity, on the blood ethanol concentration and on the ADH activity in liver cytosol were examined. Water extracts of these crude drugs caused a rapid elimination of ethanol from the blood of normal rats when they were administered orally at 30 min before oral ethanol administration or simultaneously with ethanol. The rapid elimination of ethanol seems to be due to the effect of the water extracts in inhibiting the decrease of ADH activity in rat liver cytosol, and in supplementing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (a coenzyme in ethanol metabolism). Among the eight crude drugs, water extracts of only three crude drugs (Mori Albae Fructus, Alpiniae Katsumadai semen and Dolichoris semen) decreased the blood ethanol concentration and inhibited the decrease of ADH activity in liver cytosol when they were administered at 30 min after ethanol. Water extracts of the other crude drugs did not accelerate the ethanol elimination or inhibit the decrease of the ADH activity when administered 30 min after ethanol.
Frequency multiplexed long range swept source optical coherence tomography (2013)

We present a novel swept source optical coherence tomography configuration, equipped with acousto-optic deflectors that can be used to simultaneously acquire multiple B-scans originating from different depths. The sensitivity range of the configuration is evaluated while acquiring five simultaneous B-scans. Then the configuration is employed to demonstrate long range B-scan imaging by combining two simultaneous B-scans from a mouse head sample.
The histopathology of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. An endochondral process. (1993)

In order to better characterize the biological features of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, we reviewed the histopathological specimens from eleven patients (twelve biopsies) who had a confirmed diagnosis of the disease. All of the biopsies had been performed in children, to exclude the diagnosis of a malignant lesion. In no instance was the diagnosis of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva considered before the biopsy. The results of a lesional biopsy in all eleven patients revealed normal endochondral osteogenesis at heterotopic sites. The results of biopsy of an early lesion in six children were misinterpreted as revealing a diagnosis of fibromatosis or sarcoma before the roentgenographic appearance of ossification. Immunohistochemical studies of sections of the earliest lesion demonstrated S-100 antigen positivity before the histological appearance of differentiated osteochondral tissue. The presence of congenital malformation of the great toes and of postnatal heterotopic endochondral osteogenesis strongly suggests that fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is a disorder of defective induction of endochondral osteogenesis. This study established the predominant histopathological findings associated with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and can serve as a basis for postulation of a candidate gene in the pathogenesis of the disorder. A lesional biopsy is not needed to make the diagnosis; biopsy uniformly exacerbates the condition and should be avoided.
Uncertainty in urban mobility: Predicting waiting times for shared bicycles and parking lots (2013)

Building efficient and sustainable transportation systems is a key challenge for accommodating the fast-increasing population living in cities. Lack of efficiency in transportation networks typically arises from uncertainty, e.g., about the availability of resources (such as parking lots or bicycles in bike sharing systems), or the exogenous factors affecting their demand (such as weather or the time of the day). In this paper, we present a class of algorithms which use Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) for demand and availability prediction on various time scales. In contrast to existing methods, exogenous effects can be explicitly factored into the models, resulting in significant gains in terms of prediction accuracy. Another advantage of our approach is that it estimates the distribution of the waiting time for the next available bike/parking lot if the current availability is zero. We showcase how this additional information can be used as part of personal uncertainty-aware journey planners which allow users to choose from multiple routes according to their time constraints.
Conformationally based design of macrocycles as antitumor agents. (2008)

A key feature for any chemotherapeutic agent is a favorable conformation when it is presenting itself to its intended target. Numerous macrocycles have been identified as having antitumor activity and have been a source of lead compounds in anticancer research. The macrocyclic scaffold restricts bond rotation, therefore macrocycles maintain a relatively rigid conformation compared to their linear counterparts. This review discusses recent progress in the development of macrocyclic versions of linear compounds with known antitumor activity, and describes how restrictions in molecular conformation affect tumor inhibition.
A Switchable Mid‐Infrared Plasmonic Perfect Absorber with Multispectral Thermal Imaging Capability (2015)

A switchable perfect absorber with multispectral thermal imaging capability is presented. Aluminum nanoantenna arrays above a germanium antimony telluride (GST) spacer layer and aluminum mirror provide efficient wavelength-tunable absorption in the mid-infrared. Utilizing the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition in GST, this device offers switchable absorption with strong reflectance contrast at resonance and large phase-change-induced spectral shifts.
Dexamethasone-induced ocular hypertension in perfusion-cultured human eyes. (1995)

Dexamethasone treatment of isolated, perfusion-cultured human eyes led to the generation of ocular hypertension in approximately 30% of the dexamethasone-treated eyes. Steroid treatment resulted in morphologic changes in the trabecular meshwork similar to those reported for corticosteroid glaucoma and open angle glaucoma. This system may provide an acute model in which to study the pathogenic mechanisms involved in steroid glaucoma and primary open angle glaucoma.
Nucleotide sequence of the <i>pntA</i> and <i>pntB</i> genes encoding the pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase of <i>Escherichia coli</i> (1986)

A 3240-base-pair DNA fragment spanning the pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase (pnt) genes of Escherichia coli has been sequenced. The sequence contains two open-reading frames, pntA and pntB of 1506 and 1386 base pairs, coding for the transhydrogenase alpha and beta subunits, respectively. The coding sequences are preceded by a promoter-like structure and are most likely co-transcribed. Each coding sequence is preceded by a Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The amino-terminal amino acid sequences were determined from the purified alpha and beta subunits of the transhydrogenase. These sequences agree with those predicted from the nucleotide sequences of the pntA and pntB genes. The predicted relative molecular masses of 53906 (alpha) and 48667 (beta) are close to the values obtained by analysis of the subunits by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Several hydrophobic regions large enough to span the cytoplasmic membrane were observed in each subunit. These results indicate that transhydrogenase is an intrinsic membrane protein.
Syntactic rule-based approach for extracting concepts from quranic translation text (2017)

Concept extraction is one of the important parts in ontology learning approach in order to construct ontology. This step becomes an inevitable process in such ontology development and becomes a seed to the next step in the approach. Studies in unstructured text especially in Malay are quite little due to the lack of availability extraction tools to extract relevant information. In addition, studies in Malay unstructured text based on Al-Quran is very rare compared to English and Arabic text. In this paper, an early experiment was carried out to extract concepts from Malay translation of Quranic texts using several rules-based formulated by Malaysian government body that responsible for Malay language. The study focuses only noun phrases in the Malay Quranic Text which involves only twenty- two short chapters or surah that comprises from Surah Ad-Dhuha to An-Nas. There are two criteria that have been tested in terms of symbols and stop words. The result of noun phrases has been extracted range from a combination of one word to twelve words. It shows that all the extracted noun phrases are not sufficient enough to extract most of the important concept in Al-Quran.
Scalable distributed speech recognition using multi-frame GMM-based block quantization (2004)

In this paper, we propose the use of the multi-frame Gaussian mixture model-based block quantizer for the coding of Mel frequency-warped cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features in distributed speech recognition (DSR) applications. This coding scheme exploits intraframe correlation via the Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT) and interframe correlation via the joint processing of adjacent frames together with the computational simplicity of scalar quantization. The proposed coder is bit-rate scalable, which means that the bitrate can be adjusted without the need for re-training of the quantizers. Static parameters such as the probability density function (PDF) model and KLT orthogonal matrices are stored at the encoder and decoder and bit allocations are calculated 'on-the-fly' without intensive processing. This coding scheme is evaluated in this paper on the Aurora-2 database in a DSR framework. It is shown that this coding scheme achieves high recognition performance at lower bitrates, with a word error rate (WER) of 2.5% at 800 bps, which is less than 1% degradation from the baseline word recognition accuracy, and graceful degradation down to a WER of 7% at 300 bps.

Carbohydrate-binding protein 35: identification of the galactose-specific lectin in various tissues of mice. (1984)

In previous studies, a lectin designated as carbohydrate-binding protein 35 (CBP35) has been isolated from cultured mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. In this study, antibodies directed against CBP35 were used to screen for cross-reactive proteins in various cultured cells and in various organs and tissues of mice. Cross-reactive proteins of the same molecular weight (Mr, 35,000) were found in human, mouse, and chicken fibroblasts and in a macrophage-like cell line, P388D1. Similarly, cross-reactive proteins were also found in the embryonic liver, lung, spleen, thymus, skin, and muscle tissue and in the lung, artery, thymus, and spleen of the adult mouse. Fractionation of extracts of mouse lung on affinity columns of asialofetuin-Sepharose yielded a protein whose molecular weight, carbohydrate-binding specificity, and immunological properties suggest that it is CBP35 derived from the lung, hereafter designated CBP35 (lung). The binding of 125I-labeled CBP35 (lung) to rabbit erythrocytes was quantitated in the presence and absence of various carbohydrates. It was found that only carbohydrates containing galactose were inhibitors of the binding; the disaccharide lactose was 100-fold more potent as an inhibitor than was the monosaccharide galactose. When extracts of the adult mouse liver were fractionated by asialofetuin-Sepharose chromatography, only a protein corresponding to CBP16 was isolated; no CBP35 was found. These results corroborate the immunoblotting data, which indicated that CBP35 was not detectable in the adult mouse liver.
ALD of Copper and Copper Oxide Thin Films For Applications in Metallization Systems of ULSI Devices (2008)

As a possible alternative for growing seed layers required for electrochemical Cu deposition of metallization systems in ULSI circuits, the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Cu is under consideration. To avoid drawbacks related to plasma-enhanced ALD (PEALD), thermal growth of Cu has been proposed by two-step processes forming copper oxide films by ALD which are subsequently reduced. </p> <p> This talk, given at the 8th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD 2008), held in Bruges, Belgium from 29 June to 2 July 2008, summarizes the results of thermal ALD experiments from [(<sup><i>n</i></sup>Bu<sub>3</sub>P)<sub>2</sub>Cu(acac)] precursor and wet O<sub>2</sub>. The precursor is of particular interest as it is a liquid at room temperature and thus easier to handle than frequently utilized solids such as Cu(acac)<sub>2</sub>, Cu(hfac)<sub>2</sub> or Cu(thd)<sub>2</sub>. Furthermore the substance is non-fluorinated, which helps avoiding a major source of adhesion issues repeatedly observed in Cu CVD. </p> <p> As result of the ALD experiments, we obtained composites of metallic and oxidized Cu on Ta and TaN, which was determined by angle-resolved XPS analyses. While smooth, adherent films were grown on TaN in an ALD window up to about 130°C, cluster-formation due to self-decomposition of the precursor was observed on Ta. We also recognized a considerable dependency of the growth on the degree of nitridation of the TaN. In contrast, smooth films could be grown up to 130°C on SiO<sub>2</sub> and Ru, although in the latter case the ALD window only extends to about 120°C. To apply the ALD films as seed layers in subsequent electroplating processes, several reduction processes are under investigation. Thermal and plasma-assisted hydrogen treatments are studied, as well as thermal treatments in vapors of isopropanol, formic acid, and aldehydes. So far these attempts were most promising using formic acid at temperatures between 100 and 120°C, also offering the benefit of avoiding agglomeration of the very thin ALD films on Ta and TaN. In this respect, the process sequence shows potential for depositing ultra-thin, smooth Cu films at temperatures below 150°C.

Review: IFN- <i>α</i> / <i>β</i> Receptor Interactions to Biologic Outcomes: Understanding the Circuitry (2002)

Type I interferons (IFNs), which include the IFN-alphas, IFN-beta, IFN-omega, IFN-kappa, and IFN-tau, are an evolutionarily conserved group of secreted cytokines that serve as potent extracellular mediators of host defense and homeostasis. Binding of IFNs to specific cell surface receptors results in the activation of multiple intracellular signaling cascades, leadingto the synthesis of proteins that mediate antiviral, growth inhibitory and immunomodulatory responses. In the past decade, considerable information has accumulated pertaining to the different signalingpathways that are activated by the type I IFNs. Although many of the literature findings are specific to defined cell systems or are tissue restricted, the intent of this review is to place these signaling cascades and their effectors in the context of distinct biologic outcomes.
StarGAN v2: Diverse Image Synthesis for Multiple Domains (2020)

A good image-to-image translation model should learn a mapping between different visual domains while satisfying the following properties: 1) diversity of generated images and 2) scalability over multiple domains. Existing methods address either of the issues, having limited diversity or multiple models for all domains. We propose StarGAN v2, a single framework that tackles both and shows significantly improved results over the baselines. Experiments on CelebA-HQ and a new animal faces dataset (AFHQ) validate our superiority in terms of visual quality, diversity, and scalability. To better assess image-to-image translation models, we release AFHQ, high-quality animal faces with large inter- and intra-domain differences. The code, pretrained models, and dataset are available at https://github.com/clovaai/stargan-v2.
Knowledge about breastfeeding in mothers of infants with gastroesophageal reflux. (2002)

Infants with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) who are breastfed have significantly shorter clinical episodes of the condition than artificially fed infants. The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding in mothers of babies 0-12 months of age with gastroesophageal reflux. A non-probabilistic sample was taken among patients from various private radiological centers. Sixty mothers completed a self-administered questionnaire, with a median age of 26 years and an educational level of 14 years. Seventy one percent breastfed their last baby, but only 18.6% practiced exclusive breastfeeding. The pediatrician suggested formula to 53.3% of the mothers, and 64% of the mothers were told to combine breast milk with vegetables as treatment for the GERD. Inadequate knowledge about the benefits of breastfeeding was exhibited by 27% of the mothers. Mothers of infants with GERD need education on the importance of breastfeeding. Further research is necessary on the factors which impact the duration of breastfeeding in this population.
