Structured Illumination Chip Based on Integrated Optics

A compact structured illumination chip based on integrated optics is proposed and fabricated on a silicon-on- insulator platform. Based on the simulation of Caussian beam interference, we adopt a chirped diffraction grating to achieve a specific interference pattern. The experimental results match well with the simulations. The portability and flexibility of the structured illumination chip can be increased greatly through horizontal encapsulation. High levels of integration, compared with the conventional structured illumination approach, make this chip very compact, with a footprint of only around 1 mm2. The chip has no optical lenses and can be easily combined with a microfluidic system. These properties would make the chip very suitable for portable 3D scanner and compact super-resolution microscopy applications.

Integrating a flipped classroom and problem-based learning into ophthalmology education

Background: Ophthalmology is an important medical science subject, but it is given with insufficient attention in undergraduate medical education. Flipped classroom(FC) and problem-based learning(PBL) are well-known education methods that can be integrated into ophthalmology education to improve students' competence level and promote active learning. Methods: We used a mixed teaching methodology that integrated a FC and PBL into a 1-week ophthalmology clerkship for 72 fourth-year medical students. The course includes two major sessions: FC session and PBL session, relying on clinical and real-patient cases. Written examinations were set up to assess students' academic performance and questionnaires were designed to evaluate their perceptions. Results: The post-course examination results were higher than the pre-course results, and many students gained ophthalmic knowledge and learning skills to varying levels. Comparison of pre-and post-course questionnaires indicated that interests in ophthalmology increased and more students expressed desires to be eye doctors. Most students were satisfied with the new method, while some suggested the process should be slower and the communication with their teacher needed to strengthen.Conclusions: FC and PBL are complementary methodologies. Utilizing the mixed teaching meth of FC and PBL was successful in enhancing academic performance, student satisfactions and promoting active learning.

Integrating Color and Spatial Feature for Content-Based Image Retrieval

In this paper, we present a novel and efficient scheme for extracting, indexing and retrieving color images. Our motivation was to reduce the space overhead of partition-based approaches taking advantage of the fact that only a relatively low number of distinct values of a particular visual feature is present in most images. To extract color feature and build indices into our image database we take into consideration factors such as human color perception and perceptual range, and the image is partitioned into a set of regions by using a simple classifying scheme. The compact color feature vector and the spatial color histogram, which are extracted from the seqmented image region, are used for representing the color and spatial information in the image. We have also developed the region-based distance measures to compare the similarity of two images. Extensive tests on a large image collection were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

New Numerical Integration Formulations for Ordinary Differential Equations

An entirely new framework is established for developing various single- and multi-step formulations for the numerical integration of ordinary differential equations. Besides polynomials, unconventional base-functions with trigonometric and exponential terms satisfying different conditions are employed to generate a number of formulations. Performances of the new schemes are tested against well-known numerical integrators for selected test cases with quite satisfactory results. Convergence and stability issues of the new formulations are not addressed as the treatment of these aspects requires a separate work. The general approach introduced herein opens a wide vista for producing virtually unlimited number of formulations.

BBACIMA:A Trustworthy Integrity Measurement Architecture through Behavior-Based TPM Access Control

Two limitations of current integrity measurement architectures are pointed out： （1） a reference value is required for every measured entity to verify the system states, as is impractical however; （2） malicious user can forge proof of inexistent system states. This paper proposes a trustworthy integrity measurement architecture, BBACIMA, through enforcing behavior-based access control for trusted platform module （TPM）. BBACIMA introduces a TPM reference monitor （TPMRM） to ensure the trustworthiness of integrity measurement. TPMRM enforces behavior-based access control for the TPM and is isolated from other entities which may be malicious. TPMRM is the only entity manipulating TPM directly and all PCR （platform configuration register） operation requests must pass through the security check of it so that only trusted processes can do measurement and produce the proof of system states. Through these mechanisms malicious user can not enforce attack which is feasible in current measurement architectures.

Hybrid event based control architecture for tele-robotic systems controlled through Internet

A new hybrid event based control architecture for tele-robotic systems controlled through the Internet is pro-posed in this paper. Different from the traditional event based control method, the new framework does not require every part of the system to be strictly event synchronized. Instead, it allows time referenced control components to be integrated into this framework, which makes it more convenient to develop Internet based control systems. Since there are two reference variables, time and event, in this architecture, how to coordinate these components with different references to keep the stability of the whole system is discussed in detail in this paper. To verify this new idea, an experiment was conducted to control the end effector of a PUMA robot tracking a continuous state trajectory given on-line by the remote operator. Ex-perimental results confirmed the stability of such systems being controlled through the Internet in real-time.

Experimental study on vibration suppression in a rotor system under base excitation using an integral squeeze film damper

Base excitation is one of common excitations in rotor system.In order to study the dynamic characteristics of rotor systems under base excitation and the effect of integral squeeze film dampers(ISFDs)on their dynamic characteristics,a single-disk rotor test rig,where mass imbalance and base excitation could be applied,is developed.Experimental research on the rotor system response under sinusoidal base excitation conditions with different frequencies and excitation forces is performed and the effect of ISFD on the dynamic characteristics of the rotor is investigated.The experimental results demonstrate that when the sinusoidal base excitation frequency approaches the first critical speed of the rotor system or the natural frequency of the rotor system base,strong vibration occurs in the rotor,indicating that the base excitation of the two frequencies has a greater impact on rotor system response.In addition,with the increase of the base excitation force,the vibration of the rotor will be increased.ISFDs can significantly inhibit the vibration due to unbalanced forces and sinusoidal base excitation in rotor systems.To a certain extent,ISFDs can improve the effect of sinusoidal base excitation with most frequencies on rotor system response,and they have a good vibration reduction effect for sinusoidal base excitation with different excitation forces.

Homologous recombination mediates stable Fah gene integration and phenotypic correction in tyrosinaemia mouse-model

AIM To stably correct tyrosinaemia in proliferating livers of fumarylacetoacetate-hydrolase knockout(Fah-/-) mice by homologous-recombination-mediated targeted addition of the Fah gene.METHODS C57 BL/6 Fah?exon5 mice served as an animal model for human tyrosinaemia type 1 in our study. The vector was created by amplifying human Fah c DNA including the TTR promoter from a lentivirus plasmid as described. The Fah expression cassette was flanked by homologous arms(620 bp and 749 bp long) of the Rosa26 gene locus. Mice were injected with 2.1 × 108 VP of this vector(r AAV8-ROSA26.HAL-TTR.FahROSA26.HAR) via the tail vein. Mice in the control group were injected with 2.1 × 108 VP of a similar vector but missing the homologous arms(r AAV8-TTR.Fah). Primary hepatocytes from Fah-/-recipient mice, treated with our vectors, were isolated and 1 × 106 hepatocytes were transplanted into secondary Fah-/-recipient mice by injection into the spleen. Upon either vector application or hepatocyte transplantation NTBC treatment was stopped in recipient mice. RESULTS Here, we report successful HR-mediated genome editing by integration of a Fah gene expression cassette into the "safe harbour locus" Rosa26 by recombinant AAV8. Both groups of mice showed long-term survival, weight gain and FAH positive clusters as determined by immunohistochemistry analysis of liver sections in the absence of NTBC treatment. In the group of C57 BL/6 Fah?exon5 mice, which have been transplanted with hepatocytes from a mouse injected with r AAV8-ROSA26.HAL-TTR.Fah-ROSA26.HAR 156 d before, 6 out of 6 mice showed long-term survival, weight gain and FAH positive clusters without need for NTBC treatment. In contrast only 1 out 5 mice, who received hepatocytes from r AAV8-TTR.Fah treated mice, survived and showed few and smaller FAH positive clusters. These results demonstrate that homologous recombinationmediated Fah gene transfer corrects the phenotype in a mouse model of human tyrosinaemia type 1(Fah-/-mice) and is long lasting in a proliferating state of the liver as shown by withdrawal of NTBC treatment and serial transplantation of isolated hepatocytes from primary Fah-/-recipient mice into secondary Fah-/-recipient mice. This long term therapeutic efficacy is clearly superior to our control mice treated with episomal r AAV8 gene therapy approach.CONCLUSION HR-mediated r AAV8 gene therapy provides targeted transgene integration and phenotypic correction in Fah-/-mice with superior long-term efficacy compared to episomal r AAV8 therapy in proliferating livers.
