Global communication and memory optimizing transformations for low power signal processing systems (2002)

In this paper we first illustrate the crucial impact of memory related power consumption on the global system power budget, in particular for multi-dimensional real-time signal processing subsystems. A realistic medical imaging demonstrator shows that the power budget of the system is clearly dominated by the memory access and that up to an order of magnitude can be gained by transforming the initial specification, even without incorporating the effect of a possible supply voltage reduction. We have analyzed the most relevant contributions in this power budget and propose several ways to reduce them. In addition, an automated transformation technique is described to decrease the memory related power budget.
Single-chip CMOS optical microspectrometer with sensor bus interface (1999)

A single-chip CMOS microspectrometer containing an array of 16 addressable fixed-cavity Fabry-Perot etalons, photodetectors and circuits for read-out, multiplexing and driving the ISS sensor bus has been fabricated. This resulted in a chip that can operate using only five external connections (including Vdd and Vss) covering the optical range of 400-500 nm with FWHM=18nm. Frequency output and serial bus interface allow easy multi-sensor, multi-chip interfacing using a microcontroller.
Inhibition of Nitrification by Acetylene (1979)

Abstract The effect of C 2 H 2 on nitrification in soils was determined to evaluate the use of C 2 H 2 in field and laboratory denitrification studies. The presence of as little as 0.1% (vol/vol) C 2 H 2 completely inhibited nitrification. The effect of C 2 H 2 was reversible, but an 8‐ to 10‐day period was required before nitrification returned to the rate in the control. The results suggest that the C 2 H 2 approach must be limited to those experiments in which either only nitrate fertilizers are used or where nitrification is assumed complete before denitrification commences.
Moment-Based Power Estimation in Very Deep Submicron Technologies (2003)

The significant power optimization possibilities in the early stages of the design flow advice the use of energy evaluation techniques at high levels of abstraction. With this aim, the present work addresses the estimation of the energy consumption in very deep submicron technologies. Using the characterization of the probability density function with a projection in an orthogonal polynomial base, and a symbolic propagation mechanism, a technique is presented to estimate the dynamic and static power consumption in digital systems. The proposed approach has been validated with circuits and excitations from realistic applications. Comparisons with reference transistor and bit level simulations are reported in order to asses the the accuracy of the technique.
Reproducibility and Repeatability of Semiquantitative <sup>18</sup>F-Fluorodihydrotestosterone Uptake Metrics in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Metastases: A Prospective Multicenter Study (2018)

<sup>18</sup>F-fluorodihydrotestosterone (<sup>18</sup>F-FDHT) is a radiolabeled analog of the androgen receptor's primary ligand that is currently being credentialed as a biomarker for prognosis, response, and pharmacodynamic effects of new therapeutics. As part of the biomarker qualification process, we prospectively assessed its reproducibility and repeatability in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. <b>Methods:</b> We conducted a prospective multiinstitutional study of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients undergoing 2 (test/retest) <sup>18</sup>F-FDHT PET/CT scans on 2 consecutive days. Two independent readers evaluated all examinations and recorded SUVs, androgen receptor-positive tumor volumes, and total lesion uptake for the most avid lesion detected in each of 32 predefined anatomic regions. The relative absolute difference and reproducibility coefficient (RC) of each metric were calculated between the test and retest scans. Linear regression analyses, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate repeatability of <sup>18</sup>F-FDHT metrics. The coefficient of variation and ICC were used to assess interobserver reproducibility. <b>Results:</b> Twenty-seven patients with 140 <sup>18</sup>F-FDHT-avid regions were included. The best repeatability among <sup>18</sup>F-FDHT uptake metrics was found for SUV metrics (SUV<sub>max,</sub> SUV<sub>mean</sub>, and SUV<sub>peak</sub>), with no significant differences in repeatability among them. Correlations between the test and retest scans were strong for all SUV metrics (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> ≥ 0.92; ICC ≥ 0.97). The RCs of the SUV metrics ranged from 21.3% (SUV<sub>peak</sub>) to 24.6% (SUV<sub>max</sub>). The test and retest androgen receptor-positive tumor volumes and TLU, respectively, were highly correlated (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> and ICC ≥ 0.97), although variability was significantly higher than that for SUV (RCs > 46.4%). The prostate-specific antigen levels, Gleason score, weight, and age did not affect repeatability, nor did total injected activity, uptake measurement time, or differences in uptake time between the 2 scans. Including the most avid lesion per patient, the 5 most avid lesions per patient, only lesions 4.2 mL or more, only lesions with an SUV of 4 g/mL or more, or normalizing of SUV to area under the parent plasma activity concentration-time curve did not significantly affect repeatability. All metrics showed high interobserver reproducibility (ICC > 0.98; coefficient of variation < 0.2%-10.8%). <b>Conclusion:</b> Uptake metrics derived from <sup>18</sup>F-FDHT PET/CT show high repeatability and interobserver reproducibility.
Use of Intrathecal SNX-111, a Novel, N-Type, Voltage-Sensitive, Calcium Channel Blocker, in the Management of Intractable Brachial Plexus Avulsion Pain (1997)

SNX-111, administered intrathecally by continuous, constant-rate infusion, produced dose-dependent pain relief in a 43-year-old male patient with a 23-year history of intractable deafferentation and phantom limb pain secondary to brachial plexus avulsion and subsequent amputation. Dizziness, blurred vision, and lateral-gaze nystagmus were dose-dependent side effects that resolved with decreasing dose levels. Complete pain relief was achieved in this patient without side effects after dose adjustment. We conclude that SNX-111 is a potent analgesic, antihyperesthesic, and antiallodynic agent. Controlled studies of SNX-111 in patients with malignant and nonmalignant pain syndromes are warranted and are under way.

Use of Surface Properties to Control the Growth and Differentiation of Mouse Fetal Liver Stem/Progenitor Cell Colonies (2012)

Multilayers of poly-l-lysine/poly-l-glutamic acid (PLL/PLGA) were constructed by layer-by-layer deposition on an end-tethered cationic PLL brush film serving as an initial layer. Increasing the number of coupling layers increased the thickness and the hydration of the films, and decreased the films' shear modulus and serum adsorption. These films were used to culture primary mouse fetal liver cells. Fetal liver stem/progenitor cells (FLSPCs) were isolated and maintained on the PLGA-terminal PLL/PLGA surfaces, forming colonies with clear boundaries that were partially attached to the surface, with cross-sectional areas of ~500 to ~2500 μm(2) after 2 days culture. Long-term studies showed that the cluster size of colonies slowly expanded and was correlated with the surface properties. For example, on the thicker films with shear modulus, G, less than 5 kPa, FLSPCs cluster size was constrained within a small distribution with less than 4000 μm(2) of projected area, whereas on the thinner films with G > 30 kPa, clusters were expanded and widely distributed, with projected areas over 4000 um(2). Immunostaining studies suggested that clusters with a small size maintained the self-renewal characteristics of stem cells, while the expanded clusters were clearly the results of spontaneous differentiation, exhibiting hepatocyte-like properties. On PLL-terminal t-(PLL/PLGA) films, which are less favorable for stem cell cultures than PLGA-terminal t-(PLL/PLGA) films, the cluster size distribution was also correlated with the film thickness, with more clusters of small size preserved on the thicker films. We observed that a soft, hydrated, serum-free surface could restrict the FLSPC expansion, resulting in self-maintenance of FLSPC colonies.
[Effect of chromium yeast and chromium picolinate on body composition of obese, non-diabetic patients during and after a formula diet]. (1997)

The objective of this study was to assess the effects of chromium yeast and chromium picolinate on lean body mass during and after weight reduction with a very-low-calorie diet. 36 obese (BMI 33.7 +/- 5.4 kg/m2), non-diabetic patients aged 45 +/- 6 years undergoing a 8-week very-low-calorie diet followed by a 18-week maintenance period. During the whole 26 week treatment period subjects received either placebo or chromium yeast (200 micrograms/d) or chromium-picolinate (200 micrograms/d) in a double-blind manner. Body weight was measured as BMI and body composition after calculation from skinfold thickness. As a result all three groups showed comparable weight loss after 8 and 26 weeks. Lean body mass was reduced in all groups after 8 weeks. However, after 26 weeks chromium picolinate supplemented subjects showed increased lean body mass (p < 0.029) whereas the other treatment groups still had reduced lean body mass. Chromium picolinate, but not chromium yeast, is able to increase lean body mass in obese patients in the maintenance period after a very-low-calorie diet without counteracting the weight loss achieved.
Effects of irradiation temperature on radiation damage in InP solar cells (1995)

1-MeV electron irradiation damage in n+-p junction InP solar cells has been studied as a function of irradiation temperature, in comparison with those in GaAs cells. Solar cell property degradation of InP solar cells due to electron irradiation has been found to strongly decrease with an increase in irradiation temperature while that in GaAs cells is independent of irradiation temperature up to 150 °C. These results are explained by thermal annealing phenomena of radiation-induced defects in InP solar cells. The irradiation temperature dependence of radiation damage in InP cells has been analyzed based on annealing characteristics of radiation-induced defects, determined by deep-level transient spectroscopy measurement, in InP.
Spontaneously Generated X-Shaped Light Bullets (2003)

We observe the formation of an intense optical wave packet fully localized in all dimensions, i.e., both longitudinally (in time) and in the transverse plane, with an extension of a few tens of fsec and microns, respectively. Our measurements show that the self-trapped wave is an X-shaped light bullet spontaneously generated from a standard laser wave packet via the nonlinear material response (i.e., second-harmonic generation), which extend the soliton concept to a new realm, where the main hump coexists with conical tails which reflect the symmetry of linear dispersion relationship.
Prelytic and lytic conformations of erythrocyte-associated Escherichia coli hemolysin (1997)

Flow cytometry was developed as a method to assess the conformation of erythrocyte-bound Escherichia coli hemolysin polypeptide (HlyA). Topology of membrane-associated hemolysin (HlyA(E)) was investigated by testing surface accessibility of HlyA regions in lytic and nonlytic bound states, using a panel of 12 anti-HlyA monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Hemolysin associates nonlytically with erythrocytes at 0 to 2 degrees C. To test the hypothesis that the nonlytic HlyA(E) conformation at 0 to 2 degrees C differs from the lytic conformation at 23 degrees C, MAb epitope reactivity profiles at the two temperatures were compared by flow cytometry. Four MAbs have distinctly increased reactivity at 0 to 2 degrees C compared to 23 degrees C. HlyA requires HlyC-dependent acylation at lysine residues 563 and 689 for lytic function. Toxin with cysteine substitution mutations at each lysine (HlyA(K563C) and HlyA(K689C)) as well as the nonacylated form of hemolysin made in a HlyC-deficient strain were examined by flow cytometry at 0 to 2 and 23 degrees C. The three mutants bind erythrocytes at wild-type toxin levels, but there are conformational changes reflected by altered MAb epitope accessibility for six of the MAbs. To test further the surface accessibility of regions in the vicinity of MAb-reactive epitopes, HlyA(E) was proteolytically treated prior to testing for MAb reactivity. Differences in protease susceptibility at 0 to 2 degrees and 23 degrees C for the reactivities of three of the MAbs further support the model of two distinct conformations of cell-associated toxin.
Transplanted hepatocytes proliferate differently after CCl<sub>4</sub>treatment and hepatocyte growth factor infusion (1999)

To understand regulation of transplanted hepatocyte proliferation in the normal liver, we used genetically marked rat or mouse cells. Hosts were subjected to liver injury by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), to liver regeneration by a two-thirds partial hepatectomy, and to hepatocellular DNA synthesis by infusion of hepatocyte growth factor for comparative analysis. Transplanted hepatocytes were documented to integrate in periportal areas of the liver. In response to CCl4 treatments after cell transplantation, the transplanted hepatocyte mass increased incrementally, with the kinetics and magnitude of DNA synthesis being similar to those of host hepatocytes. In contrast, when cells were transplanted 24 h after CCl4 administration, transplanted hepatocytes appeared to be injured and most cells were rapidly cleared. When hepatocyte growth factor was infused into the portal circulation either subsequent to or before cell transplantation and engraftment, transplanted cell mass did not increase, although DNA synthesis rates increased in cultured primary hepatocytes as well as in intact mouse and rat livers. These data suggested that procedures causing selective ablation of host hepatocytes will be most effective in inducing transplanted cell proliferation in the normal liver. The number of transplanted hepatocytes was not increased in the liver by hepatocyte growth factor administration. Repopulation of the liver with genetically marked hepatocytes can provide effective reporters for studying liver growth control in the intact animal.
Precise Analysis of Large Industry Code (2012)

Static analysis of code is very effective in finding common programmer errors but it comes at a price - a large number of false positives. Model checking, on the other hand, is very precise but does not scale up. We have developed a tool that combines both techniques and also implements a novel loop abstraction. The tool was run on 2 million lines of embedded code to analyze for two properties - division by zero and array index out of bounds. In other experiments we compared the precision of our tool to that achieved by tools implementing abstract interpretation. This paper presents details of the tool and the results of evaluations that we have carried out to measure the scalability and to compare the precision of our method on industry code against other static analysis tools.

Influence of temperature and pH on the kinetics of the Sharon nitritation process (2007)

Abstract The SHARON (Single reactor High activity Ammonia Removal Over Nitrite) process is an innovative process that improves the sustainability of wastewater treatment, especially when combined with an Anammox process. It aims at ammonium oxidation to nitrite only, while preventing further nitrate formation. In order to optimize this process by means of modelling and simulation, parameters of the biological processes have to be assessed. Batch tests with SHARON sludge clearly showed that ammonia rather than ammonium is the actual substrate and nitrous acid rather than nitrite is the actual inhibitor of the ammonium oxidation in the SHARON process. From these batch tests the ammonia affinity constant, the nitrous acid inhibition constant and the oxygen affinity constant were determined to be 0.75 mgNH 3 ‐N L −1 , 2.04 mgHNO 2 ‐N L −1 and 0.94 mgO 2 L −1 . The influence of pH and temperature on the oxygen uptake rate of SHARON biomass was determined, indicating the existence of a pH interval between 6.5 and 8 and a temperature interval from 35 to 45 °C where the biomass activity is maximal. The kinetic parameters of the SHARON process were determined based on batch experiments. These parameters can now be implemented in a simulation model for further optimization of the SHARON process.

Cellulose nanomaterials review: structure, properties and nanocomposites (2011)

This critical review provides a processing-structure-property perspective on recent advances in cellulose nanoparticles and composites produced from them. It summarizes cellulose nanoparticles in terms of particle morphology, crystal structure, and properties. Also described are the self-assembly and rheological properties of cellulose nanoparticle suspensions. The methodology of composite processing and resulting properties are fully covered, with an emphasis on neat and high fraction cellulose composites. Additionally, advances in predictive modeling from molecular dynamic simulations of crystalline cellulose to the continuum modeling of composites made with such particles are reviewed (392 references).
A Splice Junction Mutation in the αMGene of Phosphorylase Kinase in a Patient with Myopathy (1998)

In a 28-year-old man with myopathy and phosphorylase kinase (PhK) deficiency, we found a G-to-C substitution at the 5' end of an intron in the muscle-specific alpha-subunit gene. The mutation destroys the high-consensus GT sequences at the 5' splice junction of the intron, which causes skipping of the preceding exon. This is the second molecular genetic defect identified in the myopathic variant of PhK deficiency.
An Efficient Approach for Point Coverage Problem of Sensor Network (2008)

One fundamental issue in application of wireless sensor networks is to provide proper coverage of their deployment regions, which answers the questions about the quality of service (surveillance or monitoring) that can be provided by a sensor network. In this paper, we consider the point-coverage problem where a given set of n points requires to be covered in the two-dimension (such as monitoring leakage of hazardous gaseous materials at ventilation points or observing the fixed location important targets). Our objective is to place the minimal number sensors such that coverage points in the field can be covered by at least k sensors. By combining computational geometry and combinatorics techniques, we investigate the issue from a different angle, demonstrate an important relationship between coverage points and sensors, and develop an efficient algorithm for 1-coverage problem. Finally, we indicate our approach can easily solve k-coverage problem based on 1-coverage.
