Abstract: Compositions and method of cancer diagnosis and prognosis are disclosed. The methods rely on the expression profile of a 55 O-glycan forming GT (OGFGT) genes in multi-dimensional space was sufficient to classify cancer types from cancer patient samples in. These OGFGT genes ae used to distinguish between normal and cancer samples and cancer subtypes promoting the huge potential of utilizing this set of genes in diagnostic applications. The expression signature of OGFGT genes can also be used to determine survival profiles in samples from GBM patient samples.

Abstract: An integrated method for mesophase pitch and petrochemicals production. The method including supplying crude oil to a reactor vessel; heating the crude oil in the reactor vessel to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time; reducing asphaltene content in the crude oil by allowing polymerization reactions to occur in the reactor vessel at an elevated pressure in the absence of oxygen; producing a three-phase upgraded hydrocarbon product comprising gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbon components, where the liquid hydrocarbon component comprises deasphalted oil and the solid hydrocarbon component comprises mesophase pitch; separating the gas, liquid, and solid hydrocarbon components; directly utilizing the liquid hydrocarbon component for petrochemicals production; and directly utilizing the solid hydrocarbon component for carbon artifact production.

Abstract: A large-area, waveguide-based, high-speed ultraviolet and visible light photodetector system for optical wireless communication includes a substrate; plural, parallel, waveguides formed directly on the substrate and including a high quantum-yield wavelength-converting material of semiconductor nature; an optical coupling system optically connected to each one of the plural, parallel, waveguides; and a photodetector optically connected to the optical coupling system and configured to detect an outgoing light. The wavelength-converting material converts a first wavelength of an incoming light at high-speed, received by the plural, parallel, waveguides, into a second wavelength of the outgoing light. The first wavelength is different from the second wavelength, and the first and second wavelengths are between 200 and 800 nm.

Abstract: Described are affinity purification system that includes a carrier/surface that is non-cellular, and sliding clamp (SC) protein, and methods for purifying proteins that bind to the SC. The SC is associated with the carrier/surface via covalent/non-covalent interactions. To attain control of coupling site, the SC can be mutated via site-directed mutagenesis to introduce an exogenous residue and, the exogenous internal residue is conjugated to the non-cellular surface through the linker. The SC can also be coupled to the carrier via non-covalent interactions such as the affinity interactions involved in ligand/binding partner complex formation.
The SC-based affinity purification system are used in a purification column as bait proteins, to isolate SC binding partners or non SC-binding proteins engineered to contain a SC binding site prior to its purification.-

Abstract: An electromechanical pressure sensor includes an electromechanical resonator having a driving electrode, a sensing electrode, and a beam resonator arranged between the driving and sensing electrodes. The beam resonator includes a resonator beam coupled on a first end to a first fixed anchor and coupled on a second end to a fixed second fixed anchor. The electromechanical resonator also includes a first voltage source coupled to the driving electrode and configured to provide an alternating current to the driving electrode and a second voltage source coupled to the first fixed anchor. The second voltage source provides a DC bias to the resonator beam. The electromechanical resonator further includes a third voltage source coupled to the resonator beam via the first and second fixed anchors. The third voltage source is configured to supply a voltage to the resonator beam that results in a temperature differential between the resonator beam and the first and second fixed anchors. The electromechanical resonator also includes a processor coupled to the sensing electrode and configured to correlate a voltage on the sensing electrode with a pressure value.

Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device involves selecting a substrate on which a wurtzite III-nitride alloy layer will be formed, and a piezoelectric polarization and an effective piezoelectric coefficient for the wurtzite III-nitride alloy layer. It is determined whether there is a wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient. It is also determined whether there is a thickness for a layer formed from the wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected piezoelectric polarization based on the selected substrate and the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient. Responsive to the determination that there is a wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition having a lattice constant satisfying the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient and a thickness for the layer formed from the wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected piezoelectric polarization, the wurtzite III-nitride alloy layer is formed on the substrate having the wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient and having the thickness satisfying the selected piezoelectric polarization.
