Frequency and Quality Factor Matched 2-Axis Dual Mass Resonator
No full textThis paper reports a novel tuning fork type 2-axis dual mass resonator with frequency and Q-factor tuning mechanisms. The resonator consists of two proof masses and extra small masses in between them, which could tune the Q-factor of each axis independently with small effect on the frequency. The experimental results showed the as-fabricated frequency and the Q-factor mismatches were 5% and 7.7%, respectively. Q-factor tuning up to 21% could be reached by changing the squeeze film damping through mode coupling induced by suitably applied DC bias. The parasitic effect on frequency shift was as small as 810 ppm. Combining with the conventional frequency tuning method by the DC bias on the main proof masses, both the frequency and Q-factor could be tuned simultaneously. Finally, the frequency matching under 10 ppm and the Q-factor matching under 650 ppm could be achieved

Different Cytokine Production in Tax-Expressing Cells between Patients with Human T Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I)–Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis and Asymptomatic HTLV-I Carriers
No full textHuman T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) provirus load has been reported to be generally higher in patients with HTLV-I–associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) than in asymptomatic HTLV-I carriers (ACs). However, some ACs have a high HTLV-I provirus load comparable with that in patients with HAM/TSP. To examine whether other factors influence the outcome of HTLV-I infection in patients with HAM/TSP and ACs, we analyzed spontaneous Tax expression and cytokine production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells using flow cytometry. The Tax expression in HTLV-I–infected cells (percentage of Tax expressing cells/HTLV-I provirus load when assumed 1 copy/cell) and the intensity of Tax expression did not differ between these 2 groups. However, the production of interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor–α in Tax-expressing cells was significantly lower in ACs with high HTLV-I provirus load than in patients with HAM/TSP. This result suggests that the production of inflammatory cytokines in Tax-expressing cells is one of the factors that contribute to the development of HAM/TSPThis is a pre-copyedited, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in [ Journal of Infectious Diseases ] following peer review.

Developing compact and innovative dual-band thermal imagers using multi-layer diffractive optical elements
No full textInfrared (IR) remote sensing offers a huge range of applications, mostly addressing make-or-break issues of our century (wildfires, irrigation monitoring, etc.). Multispectral spaceborne instruments require bulky optical systems designed for a specific scientific goal and have very low revisit time. Thereby, constellations of small satellites embarking compact dual-band IR imagers are very promising solutions. We study a dual-band IR diffractive element called multilayer diffractive optical elements (MLDOE). It replaces classical diffractive lenses (DOEs) that cannot operate simultaneously in two distinct wavebands. An MLDOE design is studied using the rigorous finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. Its performance at the ”best” focal plane is deduced using free-space Fourier optics wave propagation. The presented MLDOE design has over 80% Strehl ratio in both bands, outperforming classical DOEs. Its chromatic focal shift has a negative variation, in opposition to refractive lenses, allowing efficient and compact dual-band hybrid lenses.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Spaceborne Instrumentatio
Scandalous Shuji Terayama : between the postulates and the reception of his art
No full textNiniejszy artykuł stanowi analizę odbioru sztuki Shujiego Terayamy w kontekście postulatów twórcy. Kontrowersyjne obrazy filmowe oraz odważne działania performatywne Terayamy do dzisiaj stanowią inspirację dla młodych pokoleń artystów niezależnych. Czerpiąc z teorii teatru okrucieństwa Antonina Artauda oraz nawołując do rewolucji seksualnej poprzez ukazanie transgresji cielesnych i odrzucenie norm społecznych, japoński artysta próbował przekazać widzom swoją wizję nowej, nieskrępowanej tradycją kulturową sztuki. W niniejszym artykule przedstawione zostały kontrowersje związane z odbiorem twórczości Terayamy, wynikające z niezrozumienia przez publiczność postulatów artysty.The presented article is an analysis of the reception of Shuji Terayama's art in context of his postulates. The controversial films and daring performing acts of Terayama are the inspirations for the young generations of independent artists until this day. The director's main pursuit was connected with the effort to transfer his vision of a new, derived from traditional culture, art into the viewer's minds. To accomplish his goal Terayama took inspiration from Antonin Artaud's theatre conventions and presented his vision of body transgressions and refusal of social norms. The presented article shows the controversies connected with the reception of Terayama's art, resulting from the complicated way of presenting the postulates by the author himself
