First principles calculations to investigate the electronic and optical properties of (MoS2)4 n/(MoSSe)n lateral heterostructure
Venue: Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids
Year: 2021

The electronic properties, work function, and optical properties of the lateral heterostructure formed after combining MoS2 and Janus MoSSe (MoS2)4 n/(MoSSe)n, where n is the width of Janus MoSSe) have been investigated comparatively using first principles calculations. The electronic structure analysis shows that the band gaps decrease from 1.69 eV for (MoS2)4/(MoSSe)0 1.41 eV for (MoS2)0/(MoSSe)4. Based on the calculated density of states calculations, the valence band edge (VBE) is mainly contributed by Mo 4d states, while the conduction band edge (CBE) is originated from the contribution of Mo 4d and Se 4p orbital hybridization. As the width n increases, the average positive charge on Mo atoms decreases, while the average charge on Se increases. As a consequence, there is a significant enhancement of the built in electric field in the z direction, inducing the work functions changed from 6.17 eV for (MoS2)4/(MoSSe)0 5.22 eV for (MoS2)0/(MoSSe)4. The results of this study imply that forming (MoS2)4 n/(MoSSe)n lateral heterostructure systems which can have adjustable work function and built in electric field, bring new properties and great potential in different applications.

Starch digestibility in food matrix: a review
Year: 2010

In this review, recent reports on in vitro starch hydrolysis kinetics are reviewed with regard to the structural characteristics of starches. Factors such as starch granule morphology, amylose to amylopectin ratio, molecular structure, degree of branching in terms of steric hindrance and consequently mass transfer resistance and their effects on the digestibility and absorption of digested carbohydrates have been examined. The physical state of the starch ingested has a major impact on the digestibility therefore effects of processing techniques (thermal processing, extrusion cooking, autoclaving etc. and starch modification have been discussed. The other constituents of the food matrix, such as proteins, lipids and polysaccharides, play a significant role during processing which affects the physico chemical characteristics of digesta and the final digestibility of starch. Some molecules naturally occurring in food sources may confer an inhibitory effect during starch hydrolysis.
Combination Therapy With Canagliflozin Plus Liraglutide Exerts Additive Effect on Weight Loss, but Not on HbA1c, in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Venue: Diabetes Care
Year: 2020

To examine the effect of combination therapy with canagliflozin plus liraglutide on HbA1c, endogenous glucose production (EGP) and body weight versus each therapy alone.  Forty five patients with poorly controlled (HbA1c 7 11% type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on metformin with or without sulfonylurea received a 9 h measurement of EGP with [3 3H]glucose infusion, after which they were randomized to receive 1) liraglutide 1.2 mg/day (LIRA) 2) canagliflozin 100 mg/day (CANA) or 3) liraglutide 1.2 mg plus canagliflozin 100 mg (CANA/LIRA) for 16 weeks. At 16 weeks, the EGP measurement was repeated.  The mean decrease from baseline to 16 weeks in HbA1c was 1.67 0.29% (P 0.0001) 0.89 0.24% (P 0.002) and 1.44 0.39% (P 0.004) in patients receiving CANA/LIRA, CANA, and LIRA, respectively. The decrease in body weight was 6.0 0.8 kg (P 0.0001) 3.5 0.5 kg (P 0.0001) and 1.9 0.8 kg (P 0.03) respectively. CANA monotherapy caused a 9% increase in basal rate of EGP (P 0.05) which was accompanied by a 50% increase (P 0.05) in plasma glucagon to insulin ratio. LIRA monotherapy reduced plasma glucagon concentration and inhibited EGP. In CANA/LIRA treated patients, EGP increased by 15% (P 0.05) even though the plasma insulin response was maintained at baseline and the CANA induced rise in plasma glucagon concentration was blocked.  These results demonstrate that liraglutide failed to block the increase in EGP caused by canagliflozin despite blocking the rise in plasma glucagon and preventing the decrease in plasma insulin concentration caused by canagliflozin. The failure of liraglutide to prevent the increase in EGP caused by canagliflozin explains the lack of additive effect of these two agents on HbA1c.

A Benchmark for LiDAR based Panoptic Segmentation based on KITTI
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2020

Panoptic segmentation is the recently introduced task that tackles semantic segmentation and instance segmentation jointly. In this paper, we present an extension of SemanticKITTI, which is a large scale dataset providing dense point wise semantic labels for all sequences of the KITTI Odometry Benchmark, for training and evaluation of laser based panoptic segmentation. We provide the data and discuss the processing steps needed to enrich a given semantic annotation with temporally consistent instance information, i.e. instance information that supplements the semantic labels and identifies the same instance over sequences of LiDAR point clouds. Additionally, we present two strong baselines that combine state of the art LiDAR based semantic segmentation approaches with a state of the art detector enriching the segmentation with instance information and that allow other researchers to compare their approaches against. We hope that our extension of SemanticKITTI with strong baselines enables the creation of novel algorithms for LiDAR based panoptic segmentation as much as it has for the original semantic segmentation and semantic scene completion tasks. Data, code, and an online evaluation using a hidden test set will be published on this http URL.
Doing the right thing: Measuring wellbeing for public policy
Year: 2011

Many experts now recognize that income is not a measure that alone captures the wellbeing of individuals, and governments around the world are starting to rethink the ways in which they measure the welfare of their citizens. Wellbeing is best understood as a multifaceted phenomenon that can be assessed by measuring a wide array of subjective and objective constructs. This review summarizes the state of research on the various domains of wellbeing measured by psychologists and social scientists, and provides an overview of the main theoretical perspectives that integrate these domains. Among these theoretical perspectives, we highlight Well being Theory, which decomposes the wellbeing construct into five domains: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment (PERMA) We conclude by formulating recommendations for future research on the measurement of wellbeing. These recommendations include the need to combine both objective and subjective indicators, and the use of a dashboard approach to measurement. This approach conveys the multifaceted nature of wellbeing and will help policy makers and citizens understand which domains of wellbeing should constitute priorities for public policy.
L proline functionalized pH responsive copolymers as supported organocatalysts for asymmetric aldol reaction in water
Year: 2020

Responsive copolymers with reversible transformation ability have been investigated as new effective carriers for L proline to catalyze asymmetric aldol reaction in water. A series of block copolymers of mPEG b P(DEAx co L ProlAy) (mPEG PDL) bearing L proline catalytic sites and pH responsive poly (diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDEA) segments were synthesized by the reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization in the presence of methyl polyethylene glycol (mPEG) trithiocarbonate macro RAFT agent. The pH induced self assembly behaviors of three copolymer catalysts with different contents of PDEA were investigated via the combination of UV visible spectrometer (UV vis) dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) Catalytic activity and stereoselectivity of these copolymer catalysts were evaluated by direct asymmetric aldol reaction of p nitrobenzaldehyde and cyclohexanone in water. The results indicated that catalytic activity and stereoselectivity effected by the pH value of aqueous solution and the structures of copolymer catalyst assemblies. mPEG PDL 2 give the aldol product with high conv. yield, anti/syn, and ee (92% 91% 92/8, 96% respectively at pH 7.0. Furthermore, these pH responsive copolymers supported L proline are easily recycled by a reversible phase transition.
A HIGH PERFORMANCE NETWORK ON CHIP SYSTEM WITH PATH CONGESTION AWARE ADAPTIVE ROUTING
Year: 2015

Network on chip is an emerging concept for communication within large VLSI systems implemented on a single silicon chip. Routing is an important parameter. The routing algorithm should be implemented by simple logic and number of data buffers should be minimal. So selection of routing algorithm is critical. I am going to propose an adaptive routing technique that increases the effectiveness of routing path selection based on channel based information and switch based information simultaneously. Existing adaptive schemes uses only channel based information for traffic monitoring and routing path selection, but channel based information alone is not sufficient to predict path congestion accurately. So, I am going to remodel the path congestion information to show covert spatial congestion information considering all the latencies such as router latency, buffer latency, packet latency etc. by employing path congestion aware adaptive routing strategy and contention prediction scheme for path congestion prediction. Finally, the efficiency, power and area consumption and cost requirements are compared with respect to other similar popular implementation to get optimized results.
A Locomotion Control Platform With Dynamic Electromagnetic Field for Active Capsule Endoscopy
Venue: IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine
Year: 2018

Conventional radiological and endoscopic techniques utilizing long tubes were ineffective in visualizing the small bowel mucosa until the development of wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) WCE is a revolutionary endoscopic technology that can diagnose the complete gastrointestinal tract. However, the existing capsule technologies are passive, and thus they cannot be navigated to or held in a specific location. The design of an active capsule will present the opportunity to move and stop a device at any targeted locations leading to numerous medical applications such as drug delivery or collecting tissue samples for examinations in the laboratory. This paper implements a new locomotion methodology for WCE systems using an electromagnetic platform. The platform produces a dynamic electromagnetic field to control the motion of the capsule. The strength and the direction of the electromagnetic field that is generated by the platform are continuously adjusted in order to maintain the equilibrium state during the capsule movement. We present the detailed design of the proposed platform with an experimental setup with polyvinyl chloride tubes and ex vivo to demonstrate the performance of the capsule motion.

Chinese health care system and clinical epidemiology
Venue: Clinical epidemiology
Year: 2017

China has gone through a comprehensive health care insurance reform since 2003 and achieved universal health insurance coverage in 2011. The new health care insurance system provides China with a huge opportunity for the development of health care and medical research when its rich medical resources are fully unfolded. In this study, we review the Chinese health care system and its implication for medical research, especially within clinical epidemiology. First, we briefly review the population register system, the distribution of the urban and rural population in China, and the development of the Chinese health care system after 1949. In the following sections, we describe the current Chinese health care delivery system and the current health insurance system. We then focus on the construction of the Chinese health information system as well as several existing registers and research projects on health data. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of the health care system in regard to clinical epidemiology research. China now has three main insurance schemes. The Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) covers urban employees and retired employees. The Urban Residence Basic Medical Insurance (URBMI) covers urban residents, including children, students, elderly people without previous employment, and unemployed people. The New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) covers rural residents. The Chinese Government has made efforts to build up health information data, including electronic medical records. The establishment of universal health care insurance with linkage to medical records will provide potentially huge research opportunities in the future. However, constructing a complete register system at a nationwide level is challenging. In the future, China will demand increased capacity of researchers and data managers, in particular within clinical epidemiology, to explore the rich resources.
Prediction of Multiple 3D Tissue Structures Based on Single Marker Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Venue: 2019 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)
Year: 2019

A quantitative understanding of complex biological systems such as tissues requires reconstructing the structure of the different components of the system. Fluorescence microscopy provides the means to visualize simultaneously several tissue components. However, it can be time consuming and is limited by the number of fluorescent markers that can be used. In this study, we describe a toolbox of algorithms based on convolutional neural networks for the prediction of 3D tissue structures by learning features embedded within single marker images. As proof of principle, we aimed to predict the network of bile canaliculi (BC) in liver tissue using images of the cortical actin mesh as input. The actin meshwork has a characteristic organization in specific cellular domains, such as BC. However, the use of manually selected features from images of actin is not sufficient to properly reconstruct BC structure. Our deep learning framework showed a remarkable accuracy for the prediction of BC network and was successfully adapted (i.e. transfer learning) to predict the sinusoidal network. This approach allows for a complete reconstruction of tissue microarchitecture using a single fluorescent marker.
