In Table I, the effect size, measured in partial eta squared, supports the conjecture in the Chen et al. paper [5] that functional category carries more weight in determining retention rates than expression levels. Our results also suggest that the effect on duplicate gene retention fractionation by functional category and expression are independent and have no interaction. At least in plants, functional...
The paper presents the design aspects of Inner Mounted Permanent Magnet (IPM) Synchronous Wind Generator. The design concepts and performance analyses have been done with traditional formula and finite element analysis (FEA) [1]-[5]. For electrical performance verification, no-load and full-load voltage, d- and q-axis reactance, voltage regulation ratio, demagnetizing condition, loss and efficiency,...
A non-conventional Magnitude-Combined microwave imaging method is proposed for breast cancer detection. The optimal frequency band is selected for a maximum selectivity to malignancy.
The metallic photonic crystals (MPC) in gallium nitride (GaN) light-emitting diodes (LED) can exhibit photonic crystal band gaps and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomena. The simulation results are presented by using finite-different time-domain (FDTD) method. We designed the two-dimensional (2D) triangular arrays of metallic photonic crystals that are located on the p-GaN surface, ITO surface,...
A broker on top of opaquely-managed optical domains advertising their capabilities is proposed to provision multi-AS connections in multi-operator scenarios. In case of no spectrum continuity, intra-domain spectral defragmentation is performed. Experimental assessment was conducted on a distributed multi-continental infrastructure.
We report the experimental demonstration and numerical simulation for delivery of spatially focused temporally compressed picosecond laser pulse through a 10-meter-long stepindex multimode fiber by shaping the wavefront of incident light using a deformable mirror.
Existing methods have addressed the issue of detecting abnormal events at a smart home for medical care or security monitoring services extensively in the past decades. However, most of approaches use wearable sensors that require users to be equipped with the sensor devices at every moment. If the monitored users stop or pause the sensors, any abnormal events are not able to be detected. The use...
Range of motion (ROM) is commonly used to assess a patient's joint function in physical therapy. Because motion capture systems are generally very expensive, physical therapists mostly use simple rulers to measure patients' joint angles in clinical diagnosis, which will suffer from low accuracy, low reliability, and subjective. In this study we used color and depth image feature from two sets of low-cost...
We describe a system for content-based retrieval from large surveillance video archives, using behavior, action and appearance of objects. Objects are detected, tracked, and classified into broad categories. Their behavior and appearance are characterized by action detectors and descriptors, which are indexed in an archive. Queries can be posed as video exemplars, and the results can be refined through...
Energy saving and carbon reduction issues have become the key theme in green studies nowadays. Battery is a core power of electric vehicle. Due to the development of battery technology from a single function changed to multiple-function that provides a main power for electronic vehicle which was called smart battery. This study aim on through Open Innovation (OI) to explore the relationship between...
This study is aimed at entrepreneurship research dynamics in 1992–2013. Data are based on the online version of the Web of Science (ISI Citation Indexes) and ProQuest Databases from 1992 to 2013 that published articles with titles about entrepreneurship. This study analytically uses the meta-analysis method mining out related entrepreneurship articles, through the bibliometric approach with organized...
Lightning coupling to the enclosure interior can occur in three distinct ways: (1) lightning can attach to the enclosure and the resulting lightning current flowing in the enclosure wall can cause voltage inside the enclosure wall (an attachment); (2) lightning can strike a conductor close to the enclosure (but not the enclosure) and the resulting magnetic flux can induce a voltage inside the enclosure...
A Radio Frequency (RF) power harvesting system is proposed to wirelessly power medical devices (e.g., wearable or implantable sensors, etc). The proposed system allows medical devices to operate even when there is little RF energy available. The power receiver consists of a printed antenna, well-tuned rectifier, power management chip, and a charge storage device. For a 100mW transmitter operating...
This work proposes the arousal-selection and feature-selection schemes to improve speaker's gender and age identification performance. Our previous results showed that gender and age recognition rates would increase as affective stimulation degrees were lower and higher, respectively. Considering a practical scenario, the speaker's mood does not alter frequently, so speech frames are partitioned into...
The study of production, transfer and accumulation of space charge in silicon rubber (SIR) under direct current (DC) is significant for the research of new high voltage (HV) DC cable accessories and the accessories' stable operation. In this paper, based on SIR materials used for cable accessories and the actual low working stress, the accumulation of space charges in SIR was measured under low DC...
Surface roughness is an important quality index for machining operations. The traditional offline measurement of surface roughness is time consuming and influences the performance of production. To solve this issue, many studies focus on the development of in-process surface roughness prediction system. The force signals are one of the key input factors for the system in milling operations. The purpose...
In0.53Ga0.47As channel MOSFETs were fabricated on 300 mm Si substrate. The epitaxial In0.53Ga0.47As channel layer exhibits high Hall electron mobility comparable to those grown on lattice matched InP substrates. Excellent device characteristics (SS∼95 mV/dec., Ion/Ioff ∼105, DIBL ∼51 mV/V at Vds = 0.5V for Lg=150 nm device) with good uniformity across the wafer were demonstrated. The extracted high...
A micro-channel passive mixer and oil-to-water extractor is proposed, where oleophobic/oleophilic ‘two-tone’ stripes are modified at surface by patterning multiple SAMs (self-assembled monolayers) with UV-light exposure through hollowed hard-mask. With the novel technique the grown oleophobic SAM of FAS-17 can be region-selectively removed and the oleophilic SAM of OTS can be re-grown there. This...
Thin film CdTe was deposited by pulsed dc magnetron sputtering. Magnetron sputtering offers significant advantages for the deposition of thin film photovoltaic including low deposition temperatures and excellent coating uniformity. However the films are susceptible to stress due to the relatively high deposition energy. In this study, deposition temperature and argon gas flows have been used to minimize...
A self-healing mmWave SoC integrating an 8052 microcontroller with 12kB of memory, an ADC, a temperature sensor, and a 3-stage cascode 60GHz LNA, implemented in a 32nm SOI CMOS technology exhibits a peak gain of 21dB, an average 3.3dB NF from 53 to 62GHz and 18mW power consumption. An indirect NF sensing algorithm was implemented on the integrated uC, which enables an adaptive biasing algorithm to...
