Virtual field trips, digital labs and global colleagues: U of T students to explore the world this fall – News@UofT

To take one existing example: More than 2,000 students a year enrol in Planet Earth, an online introductory course in geology taught by ProfessorNicholas Eylesof the department of physical and environmental sciences at U of T Scarborough.

They can go back and re-watch if theres anything they dont understand, and I have a lot of anecdotal evidence that the whole family gets involved, says Eyles, who explores new field areas on an orange BMW motorbike that he nicknamed the Pumpkin.

Nicholas Eyles, a professor at U of T Scarborough, teaches a popularonline introductory course in geology, featuring 3D virtual tours, that draws some 2,000 students each year(photo by Ken Jones)

Yet, even if online learning at U of T is far from new, the scale and variety of approaches being developed at U of T for this fall is without precedent. And the desire to keep everyone in the U of T community safe, while delivering an engaging educational experience of the high quality for which U of T is globally renowned, is fueling creativity and innovation across all three campuses.

In the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, for example,Dawn Kilkennywill adopt a hybrid model to teach a third-year biomedical engineering course this fall. That includes in-person office hours, bite-size online lectures and virtual labs.

The lab simulations, made by the Denmark-based startupLabster, allow students to move around a digital lab space and carry out experiments.

It reminds students of the background theory as they go along and thats one of the benefits of the virtual simulation, says Kilkenny, an associate professor, teaching stream, in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering. A lot of [the simulations] bring up the biology on the micro-scale or the nano-scale, so they will intermittently show students whats happening on that small level.

It allows you to visualize what you normally cant see.

Dawn Kilkenny, an associate professor in the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering, says virtual labs offer students additional context and background about the experiments they are pursuing(photo by Luke Ng)

The digital labs are also in use at other universities around the world, including Stanford University, Harvard University and MIT.

While Kilkenny already used the virtual labs in her pre-pandemic courses, she says she plans to rely on them even more heavily next semester.This has given us a push to examine digital tools that can enhance our courses, she says.

ForJoseph Wong, a professor in the department of political science and the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy in the Faculty of Arts & Science, the move to a digital space created an opportunity to foster closer ties between U of T students and university students in another country all while working together on projects related to COVID-19.

Students in his Munk One seminar, for example, will partner with students taking a public policy course at Mexicos Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education to discuss COVID-19s impact on food security, inequality and trust in government, among other topics. The themes will be addressed through policy briefs, photo essays, videos or op-eds in English and Spanish.

Its tapping into inter-cultural teamwork, and its also tapping into contemporary issues that span different national settings and, finally, it taps into [students] creative side, Wong said.

They will be interacting with students in a different country that has had a vastly different experience with COVID. Its one thing to read about Mexicos response to COVID-19 in the news; its an entirely different kind of experience when you can learn about it and discuss it with students in Mexico who are in fact living through it.

Elsewhere at the university, some professors have already reached out to students well before classes even begin to ensure their first year at U of T gets off to a strong start.

Along with his colleagueMarioBadr,David Liu, a teaching stream professor in the department of computer science in the Faculty of Arts & Science, created a summer prep course on Quercus to help incoming first-year students enrolled in a Foundations of Computer Science course get up to speed and become acquainted with the department. That includes introducing them to student clubs and other resources that are designed to help them find their feet on campus.

When it comes to teaching online, Liu says he andBadrwill continue in the departments longstanding tradition of encouraging active learning, which goes well beyond delivering lectures.

Lecturing for a full hour or two is tough enough on a student in person, Liu says. Its even harder on Zoom.

Instead, Liu says his classes will typically be split into mini-lectures of under 10 minutes, with the rest of the time dedicated to activities like analyzing program code, writing code and working on mathematical proofs with a partner. If students get stuck on a concept or problem, they can have their questions answered quickly by entering their questions in an online chat monitored by a TA in real time.

David Liu,a teaching stream professor in the department of computer science, helped create a summer prep course for incoming students to get them up to speed on the subject and acquainted with the department.

Active learning is also critical for the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical EducationsDavid Frost.Never one tolecture at length in front of a blackboard, the assistant professor bridges theory and practice in his courses by encouraging students to learn through hands-on activities such as designing workout programs for real-life clients.

Frost, who has recorded videos of himself completing student-designed workout sessions and uploaded them to YouTube for the class to critique, plans to take a similarly dynamic approach to teaching this fall.

I guess the way were viewing this is there are actually things you can do online that you cant do in person, says Frost. This is an opportunity to learn in different ways.

From his introductory kinesiology course to more advanced seminars, Frost says the shift to online will come with a number of extras for students. For example, Frost and his co-instructors plan to produce a podcast featuring guest experts who will discuss coaching philosophies and other topics relevant to the course. He has also set aside two hours per week for a group activity over Zoom that asks students to design an exercise session and put it into practice: No special gym equipment required.

Another activity may involve a group workout; still another will take students through conducting a physical assessment.

Every week is going to be different, Frost says.

Not all face masks are created equal 7 things to consider to protect yourself – CNA

SINGAPORE: Surgical masks are one of the most sought-after items in the world now.

Even with ST Engineering producing surgical masks here since February after a foreign supplier could not fulfil its contractual obligations to Singapore these are available only to front-line healthcare workers.

But there are alternatives out there. In the past few months, many people, from scientists to tailors, have tried to develop face masks that are both comfortable and safe.

Not all masks, however, are created equal. There are disposable three-layer masks, carbon filter masks, silicone gill masks, and even masks made of copper or nano-silver, said to kill viruses and bacteria.

With so many masks on the market, ranging in price from about 40 cents to S$76, this raises the question of how effective they each are.

The programme Talking Point finds out what science says about various masks and seven things people should consider to protect themselves. (Watch the episode here.)

1. DISPOSABLE MASKS MAY NOT BE MEDICAL-GRADE

Although there are many disposable masks, and some are labelled surgical masks, not all conform to international standards, said Gareth Tang, senior vice-president of technology and head of Innosparks at ST Engineering.

Tang, who led the setting up of its surgical mask production line in just two weeks, said the company has stringent, end-to-end quality control to ensure that its surgical masks are medical-grade.

This includes testing how breathable the masks are and how efficient the layers of filtration are.

The bacterial filtration efficiency of a surgical mask must be above 95 per cent, and it must be resistant to the penetration of bodily fluids, according to the Health Sciences Authority.

So the efficiency reading of 98 per cent for ST Engineering's mask material marks a level that blocks 98 per cent of bacteria and viruses, and that includes the COVID-19 virus, through the mask, Tang noted.

The company is now working on making its masks more widely available, he said. We hope to bring this mask to the general public in the near term.

2. COPPER AND SILVER CAN KILL BACTERIA

The most expensive masks are those containing copper or silver.

In ancient times, the Egyptians used these metals to treat wounds, noted Lam Yeng Ming, professor and chair of materials science and engineering at Nanyang Technological University. So copper and silver have been shown to kill bacteria.

Theyre effective in some circumstances, she said. That includes viruses, provided the copper or silver ions interact with the virus. For example, when a virus lands on a copper surface, the metals ions attack and kill the cells.

But this process takes time, anywhere from 30 minutes to a day. Another problem is that some face masks with copper woven into the fabric have spaces between the copper fibres.

Between these lines, you can fit quite a lot of the virus, she said. If this spacing is hundreds of microns, essentially it cant filter out (viruses).

A nano-silver mask Talking Point sent to her to examine, however, was found to be fully coated with the metal, so the virus should come into contact with these silver surfaces.

While nano-silver and copper have shown to be effective against different viruses, she said tests specific to the virus that causes COVID-19 are key.

That has to be conclusive. There are some studies being done, but I think more studies need to be done, she added.

WATCH: Reusable or surgical which is the right mask for you? (22:25)

3. STUDIES LACKING ON CARBON FILTER MASKS TOO

Some manufacturers claim that masks with a carbon filter are effective in filtering out bacteria and viruses.

Carbon filters are widely used in air purifiers to absorb and capture smoke and other gaseous pollutants but they are not any more effective than other masks when it comes to the coronavirus.

A carbon filter mask is effective (against) air pollutants, but for bacteria and for viruses, there definitely havent been many studies to show its effectiveness, said Lam.

4. DO HOME-MADE MASKS WORK?

The second government-issued reusable mask has antibacterial properties. But like some people, Chrissandra Chong finds that it sticks too closely to my face for me to breathe easily.

The freelance branding consultant sews her own masks with adjustable ear loops to cater for different face shapes and designed to be more breathable.

She has made more than 200 masks since February, and volunteers for Masks Sewn with Love, a grassroots initiative that has provided over 100,000 masks for vulnerable groups.

But are do-it-yourself masks good enough?

According to the World Health Organisation, the ideal fabric mask shouldhave at least three layers: An innermost layer of absorbent material like cotton and two other layers made of water-resistant material such as polypropylene.

5. AIRTIGHT MASKS CAN CAUSE SKIN IRRITATION

The mask that resembles the N95 respirator is called a gill mask, made from soft silicone material. It creates a seal on ones face.

But because it can offer relatively airtight protection, using this mask can lead to skin irritation, said Eileen Tan, a dermatologist who runs her own practice, Eileen Tan Skin Clinic and Associates.

It may not be suitable for everyday use or for people with sensitive skin, she added.

6. HOW YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN

Tan has seen a 15 to 20 per cent increase in the number of patientsseeking help for mask-related skin problems.

One can get skin inflammation, for example, from the build-up of moisture, heat and increase in sebum production, which can lead to clogged pores, she said.

She recommends changing ones mask every four to six hours if you can afford to, and taking mask breaks of about 15 to 30 minutes to allow your skin to rest.

Consider things like a cloth mask, which is a more breathable kind of fabric (and) more comfortable, she added.

7. KEEP GOOD MASK-WEARING HABITS

Senior consultant Kalisvar Marimuthu from the National Centre for Infectious Diseases uses five reusable masks each week.

It is important, he said, to wash ones mask every day, as that removes not only viruses, but also saliva stains and dust particles on the mask.

He also advises against touching the front of the mask when removing it, as the chances are people would touch their nose or mouth after that.

Interview and photos: Renowned inventor and artist Tom Shannon’s first Oklahoma exhibit is on view at Science Museum Oklahoma – Oklahoman.com

"This is a Nano Earth - a one-billionth size Earth - and it's the same size as the iris of your eye," Shannon said, holding up a tiny piece of the sculpture. "This is human-sized, so you can go a billion down and get to the molecules and a billion up to get to the Sun. So, we're right in the middle - this shows that we're right midway between molecules and the Sun."

Oklahoma exclusives

On view through Oct. 25, the New York City-based artist's first Oklahoma exhibit provides museum visitors a chance to view some exclusive offerings.

"I think they'll get a better understanding of our size and place in this universe, seeing how small we really are in the scheme of things and seeing how everything exists in the universe and how we relate to it," Henderson said.

"Universe in the Mind | Mind in the Universe" features a new 6-foot edition of one of Shannon's signature works - the "Synchronous World Clock" - created especially for Science Museum Oklahoma. One of his numerous patented inventions, he created the original "Synchronous World Clock" in 1984 as a sculptural way of depicting the rotation of the Earth. He used a world map projection by the legendary inventor, artist and visionary R. Buckminister Fuller in the original, and a version of his "Synchronous World Clock" is in the Smithsonian Institutions collection.

"It rotates counter-clockwise ... but just once per day in synchronicity with the actual Earth. So, it gives the time in a very natural way because it's moving at the same speed that Earth is rotating," Shannon said. "If this thing is moving freely, it really keeps time perfectly. ... I'm always refining things and thinking about a new way to do it."

For instance, Shannon created his first magnetic array, "Compass Moon Atom Room," in 1991 for an exhibit at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden, where it is now part of the permanent collection. The "Atom Compass Array" in Science Museum Oklahoma's lobby is the first to be shown in the United States.

"Universe in the Mind | Mind in the Universe" also includes about 150 pages of sketches, notes and ideas he has jotted down from 1966 to present day. This display of "first drafts, ideas, dreams, observations, fleeting thoughts" ranges from drawings for a galactic mirror that would allow humans to get an outside view of our Milky Way galaxy to plans for a small, lightweight, electric "city car" that could collapse to the size of suitcase and be stowed in an apartment or office.

Kanazawa University research: Diverse amyloid structures and dynamics revealed by high-speed atomic force microscopy – PRNewswire

KANAZAWA, Japan, July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in ACS Nano a high-speed atomic-force microscopy study of the formation of protein fibrils (amyloids) associated with pathologies in collaborated research with Showa University.Mixing different variants of a single protein and changing the acidity of its environment is shown to result in significant variations in amyloid structure and elongation rates.

In the human body, proteins sometimes occur in fibrillar aggregates called amyloids. Although certain amyloids are known to have a biological function, amyloid formation is often associated with pathologies, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Understanding how exactly amyloid fibrils form is crucial for gaining insights into the development of such diseases and for advancing with treatment approaches.Now, Takahiro Watanabe-Nakayama from Kanazawa University, Kenjiro Ono from Showa University, and colleagues have investigated the formation process of particular amyloid fibrils using a technique enabling visualization of growth over time. The scientists specifically looked at the effect of cross-seeding ('mixing') different proteins forming aggregates, and found variations in elongation rates and the structures of the fibrils.

The researchers studied alpha-synuclein, a protein abundant in the human brain.They looked at what happened when letting wild-type alpha-synuclein molecules the natural, most abundant variant form aggregates, and also how aggregation is different when introducing (cross-seeding) mutant variants associated with Parkinson's disease. In addition, the scientists examined the influence of the pH level of the microenvironment in which fibril growth takes place.

By means of high-speed atomic-force microscopy (HS-AFM), Watanabe-Nakayama, Kenjiro Ono, and colleagues could record fibril aggregation at nanometer resolution and high video rate for various cases.First, the scientists looked at the growth of single variant types (self-seeding).They found that mutants produced more aggregates, or that they aggregated faster at neutral pH than the wild-type variants. Another observation was that elongation was faster at lower pH (5.8, i.e. acidic) than at higher pH (7.4, i.e. basic).

For cross-seeding, different scenarios can occur. Fibril growth can be accelerated or slowed down, or even stopped. The morphology of the original seed can be preserved, but it also happens that the structure of the resulting fibril is different typical structural forms are 'straight' or 'spiral'. The researchers checked that fibril structure and dynamics as observed with HS-AFM correspond to the processes in solution by means of fluorescence experiments; similar conclusions were obtained.

The findings of Watanabe-Nakayama, Kenjiro Ono, and colleagues are relevant for better understanding amyloid-related diseases. Quoting the researchers: "Cross-seeding combined with variations in elongation rates has the effect of increasing the structural diversity of the resulting assemblies.This diversity may be reflected in distinct neurotoxic effects for various [protein] assemblies."

Background

Amyloids

Amyloids are fibrillar aggregates of protein molecules.Although some amyloids are known to have a biological function (for example the release of hormones), they are associated with diseases collectively called amyloidoses.These include neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.Many different proteins can form amyloids; Takahiro Watanabe-Nakayama from Kanazawa University and colleagues studied fibril formation of alpha-synuclein molecules by means of high-speed atomic force microscopy.

Atomic force microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an imaging technique in which the image is formed by scanning a surface with a very small tip.Horizontal scanning motion of the tip is controlled via piezoelectric elements, while vertical motion is converted into a height profile, resulting in a height distribution of the sample's surface.As the technique does not involve lenses, its resolution is not restricted by the so-called diffraction limit. In a high-speed setup (HS-AFM), the method can be used to produce movies of a sample's structural evolution in real time.Watanabe-Nakayama and colleagues have successfully used HS-AFM to study the formation and structural dynamics of amyloids obtained by self- and cross-seeding alpha-synuclein protein variants.

Researchers Uncover How Cells Interact With Supporting Proteins To Heal Wounds – Technology Networks

When we get a wound on our skin, the cells in our bodies quickly mobilize to repair it. While it has been known how cells heal wounds and how scars form, a team led by researchers from Washington University in St. Louis has determined for the first time how the process begins, which may provide new insight into wound healing, fibrosis and cancer metastasis.

The team, led by Delaram Shakiba, a postdoctoral fellow from the NSF Science and Technology Center for Engineering Mechanobiology (CEMB) at the McKelvey School of Engineering, discovered the way fibroblasts, or common cells in connective tissue, interact with the extracellular matrix, which provides structural support as well as biochemical and biomechanical cues to cells. The team uncovered a recursive process that goes on between the cells and their environment as well as structures in the cells that were previously unknown.

Results of the research were published in ACS Nano on July 28. Senior authors on the paper are Guy Genin, the Harold and Kathleen Faught Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the McKelvey School of Engineering, and Elliot Elson, professor emeritus of biochemistry and molecular biophysics at the School of Medicine.

"Clinical efforts to prevent the progression of fibrocontractile diseases, such as scarring and fibrosis, have been largely unsuccessful, in part because the mechanisms that cells use to interact with the protein fibers around them are unclear," Shakiba said. "We found that fibroblasts use completely different mechanisms in the early -- and I think the most treatable -- stages of these interactions, and that their responses to drugs can therefore be the opposite of what they would be in the later stages."

Genin, who is the co-director of the CEMB, said the process has stymied mechanobiology researchers for some time.

"Researchers in the field of mechanobiology thought that cells pulled in collagen from the extracellular matrix by reaching out with long protrusions, grabbing it and pulling it back," Genin said. "We discovered that this wasn't the case. A cell has to push its way out through collagen first, then instead of grabbing on, it essentially shoots tiny hairs, or filopodia, out of the sides of its arms, pulls in collagen that way, then retracts."

Now that they understand this process, Genin said, they can control the shape that a cell takes.

"With our colleagues at CEMB at the University of Pennsylvania, we were able to validate some mathematical models to go through the engineering process, and we now have the basic rules that cells follow," he said. "We can now begin to design specific stimuli to direct a cell to behave in a certain way in building a tissue-engineered structure."

The researchers learned they could control the cell shape in two ways: First, by controlling the boundaries around it, and second, by inhibiting or upregulating particular proteins involved in the remodeling of the collagen.

Fibroblasts pull the edges of a wound together, causing it to contract or close up. Collagen in the cells then remodels the extracellular matrix to fully close the wound. This is where mechanobiology comes into play.

"There's a balance between tension and compression inside a cell that is newly exposed to fibrous proteins," Genin said. "There is tension in actin cables, and by playing with that balance, we can make these protrusions grow extremely long," Genin said. "We can stop the remodeling from occurring or we can increase it."

The team used a 3D-mapping technique -- the first time it has been applied to collagen -- along with a computational model to calculate the 3D strain and stress fields created by the protrusions from the cells. As cells accumulated collagen, tension-driven remodeling and alignment of collagen fibers led to the formation of collagen tracts. This requires cooperative interactions among cells, through which cells can interact mechanically.

"New methods of microscopy, tissue engineering and biomechanical modeling greatly enhance our understanding of the mechanisms by which cells modify and repair the tissues they populate," Elson said. "Fibrous cellular structures generate and guide forces that compress and reorient their extracellular fibrous environment. This raises new questions about the molecular mechanisms of these functions and how cells regulate the forces they exert and how they govern the extent of matrix deformation."

"Wound healing is a great example of how these processes are important in a physiologic way," Genin said. "We'll be able to come up with insight in how to train cells not to excessively compact the collagen around them."

Nano will be my ultimate professional fulfilment: IFFCO MD – Indian Cooperative

Maslows principle of self-actualization was at work when IFFCO MD Dr U S Awasthi said Advent of Nano fertilizers at farm-level would be a grand finale to my professional career, Awasthi was talking to this reporter and the conversation being unstructured, allowed his subterranean thoughts to come to the surface.

Explaining Nano and its implications in greater details, IFFCO MD who is known for his penchant for innovative technology said the farming that you see today would not be there as the arrival of Nano at the fields would lead to a Paradigm Shift.

Having acquired the global patent for Nano under its belt, IFFCO and India would be the first to have a Nano fertilizer factory in the world. Interestingly, Awasthi disclosed that Nano is not only going to impact Indian agriculture but also agriculture across the world. It is an idea novel and new which the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always been talking about in different sectors of economy for improving the life of the people in the country, said the MD.

A chemical engineering graduate from IIT-BHU, IFFCO MD turned nostalgic and said that the choice of IFFCO as a place to work with was not accidental. It was a conscious decision as I knew I would get here a chance to serve the wider mankind. IFFCO has the potential to impact everyones life and I had the chance here to exploit my potential to the fullest, Awasthi was almost echoing Maslow who said exploiting ones potential to the fullest is at the top of the inverted pyramid of needs.

Also, ever since I joined IFFCO I refused going to the award ceremony. It is now several years that I have been to any such function, though organizations and institutions do keep nominating me for this or that award, said Awasthi. Realizing my dream of handing over Nano to farms and farmers for the benefit of posterity would be my highest award, he stated.

Responding to a query as to when his dream would actually be visible on the ground, IFFCO MD said I am aware that farmers across the country are looking for the field trials of IFFCO Nanotechnology based products in their fields and I think by next Kharif farmers would be able to use these on a mass scale. Awasthi keeps tweeting pics showing progress of Nano during the field trials. He recently tweeted a picture of the same from a village in Sirsa, Haryana.

It is being said that these nanostructured formulations will reduce the requirement of conventional nitrogen chemical fertilizers by 50%, deliver nutrition to the plant in an environmentally sustainable manner and be available to the farmers at reduced costs.

Meanwhile, IFFCOs range of nano fertilizers launched for field trials, are showing encouraging results from various parts of the country and these products were simultaneously launched from several places from across the country.

The Nano products have been researched and developed indigenously at the IFFCO Nano Biotechnology Research Centre (NBRC) in the Kalol Unit. Recently, IFFCO launched another Nano lab in its Aonla unit.

IFFCO also signed an MoU with Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) this May at IARI, Pusa, New Delhi. The MoU is supposed to offer an unprecedented opportunity of research in the field of Nano fertilizers to develop concentrated sources of plant nutrients having higher-absorption rate, utilization efficacy, and minimum losses.

The Tech Analyst Who Screamed Buy TSM at $50! – Yahoo Finance

I just recorded the video segment of the Top Stock Picks of the Week and my investment idea was Micron (MU), the megalodon of memory.

In the video, I shared some of my Friday note to Zacks Ultimate members where I described the tectonic shift that just happened in the semiconductor industry, causing earthquakes and tsunamis in the geology of three stocks: Intel (INTC), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM).

The bulk of that report follows below -- where I explain the seismic shift and why INTC was down 16% Friday while AMD was up an equal amount -- but what I forgot I wanted to do in today's video was give a big shout to my colleague Dan Laboe.

Dan has been extremely bullish on Taiwan Semi (aka TSMC) all year and produced several pieces of content on the company throughout the Coronavirus Crash and subsequent rally in the March through May period -- when shares were still trading near $50.

He saw their go-to foundry business as a cash machine, where unique chip designers like NVIDIA (NVDA), AMD and Apple would simply contract TSM's advanced semi fab facilities to build their hardware with state-of-the-art 7-nanometer transistor technology.

In May, here were several of his reports and insights in articles and in his excellent video blog, The 4th Revolution...

So if you were really listening to Dan in May, you would have been buying TSM shares near $50.

I was listening, but not really, seeing TSM's $270 billion market cap as a headwind since it traded at over 6 times forward sales estimates -- vs Intel's $250 billion trading near 3X sales.

And most Wall Street analysts weren't that bullish either, probably for the same valuation concerns that ignored the shifts that were actually occurring in major semiconductor industry trends.

As recently as July 10, Susquehanna reiterated their "Sell" rating and $40 price target on TSM shares.

How wrong we were to miss the gold mine unfolding for TSM -- that only a few analysts saw, like Matt Bryson at Wedbush (more on his April initiation coming up), and Dan.

And last Thursday's Intel quarterly report delivered the proof (as you'll see in my story below) when CEO Bob Swan had to admit they were as much as one year behind on their internal roadmap for developing their own 7nm technology in-house.

But even before the shocking 10% rally in TSM on Friday -- and another 10% rally today -- Dan was out early last week reiterating his bullish views on TSM with these reports...

When a tech stock gumshoe like Dan has this much conviction on an investment idea, it pays to find out why.

So stick with Dan and give him a thumbs up on his Fourth Revolution videos! (link to Zacks YouTube archives)

In addition to Dan's excellent research, here was an investment bank view where the analyst employs a detailed revenue and earnings model...

Wedbush analyst Matt Bryson initiated coverage of Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) with an Outperform rating. In his April 27 research report, the analyst cited numerous secular drivers that should result in more demand for semiconductor capacity, including growth in AI related applications.

Bryson also sees both China's desire for semiconductor independence and Intel's recent struggles to advance its manufacturing as trends that should push relatively faster growth for foundries and particularly advanced process node capacity, including 7nm and 5nm.

He believes TSMC's market share and technological leadership in the foundry space position it to be the primary beneficiary of these trends. While acknowledging that U.S. trade and technology IP policy decisions with regards to Huawei could cloud this year's visibility, the analyst expects both factors will have modest impact on TSMC's longer term prospects as it adapts to a diverse and growing global customer base including NVIDIA, Apple, and AMD.

Now here was part of my commentary to my TAZR Trader group on Friday to explain the semi seismic shift...

INTC Drops a 10NM Bomb!

Tonight, I want to focus on exactly what the heck happened with Intel that dropped its shares 16% -- and ignited an equal sized rally in AMD!

Here's what I began to write you this morning as I almost sent a Buy Alert for more Micron (MU) under $50...

The amazing storm in Semis today -- with INTC -16% and AMD +16% -- revolves around Intel's mea culpa that they are as much as one year behind on their internal roadmap to roll out significant 7nm (nanometer) technology.

This means that the leading semiconductor innovator who makes almost everything in-house will probably have to outsource to Taiwan Semi and others to meet demand next year.

In any case, it's great for NVDA as well as AMD.

And even though MU has bigger hurdles with DRAM and NAND dropping down from 10nm to 7nm, they will probably get there before Intel.

(end of my draft Buy Alert for MU)

The reason I didn't pull the trigger on more MU under $50 is because I wanted to do more homework on just when they will have more visibility on sub-10nm capability. I found some things out as they partner with a little private "chipper" named Achronix. More details to follow there.

This was very good to learn so that we know that the Taiwan Semi fab can't own everyone in the space. (TSM shares were up 10% today on this INTC semi-debacle-rotation).

So let's look at what Intel promised and how they failed to deliver, causing a rush to the competion.

You may recall in our numerous discussions of NVIDIA technology -- and most recently after their May GTC gig -- that they were pushing the envelope of nanoscale architecture in semiconductor engineering.

The essence of Moore's Law and how NVDA reinvents it is the ability to dive deeper into the nano-sphere and leverage speed with massively parallel architectures.

And the engineering teams at NVIDIA, led by visionary CEO Jensen Huang, are conducting deep R&D in their GPU chips to leverage not just video game advances, but also the bleeding edges of AI.

We know that NVIDIA has already contracted Taiwan Semi for various 7nm applications, like their new Ampere A100 GPU board for data centers with an amazing 54 billion transistors. This is the next-gen power level for exascale supercomputers and AI research.

According to the gang at TomsHardware.com in a May 14 article, "Nvidia basically couldn't make a larger GPU, as the maximum reticle size for current lithography is around 850mm square. The increase in transistor count comes courtesy of TSMC's 7nm FinFET (fin field-effect transistor) process, which AMD, Apple, and others have been using for a while now. It's a welcome and necessary upgrade to the aging 12nm process behind Volta."

And here were whispers in April that NVIDIA might be going deeper yet, courtesy of TechRadar and DigiTimes...

Nvidias reportedly ordering 5nm chips for a mystery product

By Darren Allan April 24, 2020

As it ups orders on 7nm, hopefully indicating RTX 3000 GPUs are still on track

Nvidia is making something using a 5nm process, according to the rumor mill, although its anyones guess what that hardware could be.

This comes from a DigiTimes report about how chipmaker TSMC is benefiting from a ramp-up in orders from Nvidia and AMD, and apparently part of Nvidias demands pertain to a 5nm chip.

A quick review of "nanoscale" terminology in the microscopic universe of integrated circuitry may be in order...

A micrometer, or micron, is equal to one millionth of a meter.

A nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter.

For a vital visual reference when we're talking about the nanoscale world, here's a good graphic from Wikimedia Commons to illustrate just how small semiconductor engineering has been able to shrink itself to where transistors are 10nm (nanometers) or less, and smaller than the coronavirus...

I mentioned Thursday night that we should be buyers of AMD under $60 and we never got the chance today as it soared to nearly $70 because since it already uses TSM for 7nm fab it can fill the gaps in pc, laptop, and gaming hardware while Intel can't.

At least NVDA held it's own as the predominant data center geek with 7nm capability.

And here was the biting analysis from the chip guys at Raymond James last week after the Intel bomb...

Moore's Law Doesn't Wait for Intel

INTC noted it is developing contingency plans to begin outsourcing given the internal roadmap slip -- and our view is that outsourcing has now become inevitable. By outsourcing leading edge technology, presumably to TSMC, INTC would give up what has been its main source of competitive advantage for 50 years and compete only on architecture, which we dont think is enough to maintain the dominant market share and premium margins that are now expected.

In addition, the push out of 7nm (and the associated performance improvement) will provide further incentive for cloud customers to move to custom solutions and accelerated compute platforms from vendors such as NVDA, rather than to use products based on INTCs inferior transistors. Nonetheless, we view the roadmap missteps to be stunning failure for a company once known for flawless execution, and could well represent the end of INTCs computing dominance.

(end of RJ notes)

So where is MU in all of this? (and note that the stock symbol for Micron is similar to the international measure for a micrometer)

Well, it's complicated. This article will help explain the challenges for DRAM and NAND suppliers to go sub-10nm...

Why DRAM is stuck in a 10nm trap

By Chris Mellor -April 13, 2020

Why is DRAM confined in a 10nm semiconductor process prison when microprocessors and the like are being built using 7nm processes, with 5nm on the horizon? If DRAM could be fabricated with a 7nm process, costs per GB would go down.

However, for the next few years 7nm DRAM is fantasy, due to capacitor and other electrical limitations at the sub-10nm level.

DRAM is more expensive and more tricky to manufacture than processor silicon, due to its critical nature. It has to hold data over many logic clock cycles. So it will lag in fabrication processes.

Brand Datsun and the road ahead in India – BusinessLine

As Nissan gets set to launch its compact SUV Magnite in India early next year, the interesting twist to the script is the fate of brand Datsun.

It is now well known that the Magnite was intended originally as a Datsun-branded SUV but will now sport the Nissan badge. Perhaps this could also imply the end of the road for the Datsun brand in India which was touted with much fanfare at the time of its Delhi unveiling in 2013.

Clearly, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge over the last couple of years starting with the shock arrest of Carlos Ghosn, former Chairman of Renault-Nissan, in late-2018. A series of dramatic events followed where some big names exited both companies even as relations between the partners worsened by the day.

Neither was in good shape financially either and even while speculation was rife that a divorce was inevitable (never mind that it would have been a long, tedious and expensive affair), Renault and Nissan resolved to bury the hatchet. It was not going to be easy but there was really no alternative especially when it was crystal clear that they could not afford to stay solo at a time when everyone was seeking partnerships.

It is here that the relevance of Datsun in the new global roadmap for Nissan merits deeper analysis. It was Ghosn who had resurrected the brand in an endeavour to position it as an entry-level offering in countries like India, Indonesia, Russia and South Africa.

It was difficult to question his logic considering that almost all of these markets have cost-conscious customers who Ghosn naturally presumed would be delighted to access an affordable car brand. Remember, it was the former Chairman of Renault-Nissan who was the first to salute the Tata Nanos astonishing price tag and reiterated that it was this level of frugal engineering which would help automakers in emerging markets.

Today, we begin a new chapter in the Datsun story, proclaimed Ghosn when he unveiled the Datsun GO at a glittering unveiling ceremony in Delhi seven years ago. We will offer a modern take on Datsuns core values in India and pay tribute to the brands heritage. The power of local engineering and manufacturing has been used to make this a reality, he added.

According to Ghosn, India was expected to see four million car sales by 2015 by which time Nissans contribution would be 10 new models including the Datsun line-up. We are expanding operations in India and, going forward, will use local talent to enhance our operations locally and globally, he said.

Nissan, he added, had high expectations from India and hoped to have a market share of 10 per cent, up from the present 1.2 per cent, in the mid-term. Clearly, the Datsun brand was expected to play a big role in this growth and could contribute to over 60 per cent of sales given the competitive price band it would operate in.

Ghosns leadership team that piloted the Datsun in India were equally optimistic while reiterating that the country would be the pivot of the Datsuns global drive. They touted India as fundamentally the winner of tomorrow because the mindset of its people was seen as a combination of development and respect for limited resources. Terming this a fantastic tool, this put in context why Datsun was developed in Chennai and not Japan.

Fast forward to the present and it seems almost tragic that none of these plans has worked. On the contrary, Nissans market share has been in free fall and is really nothing to write home about. The Datsun journey is a clearly forgettable saga even though its intent could never be faulted. As in the case of the Nano, the cheap car association was perhaps its biggest chink in the armour along with other issues that deterred the buyer.

For now, a lot will depend on the success of the Magnite gong forward. If the script goes according to plan and sales soar, it will be the best piece of news for Nissan as a brand at a time when it is really down though not entirely out. One more setback in India is something that the Japanese automaker just cannot afford at this point in time.

This is the Tata Aria, a Two-Door Convertible Concept from 2000 – Car Blog India

Tata Motors have become one of the most dominant and popular automakers in the Indian market today and they are also credited for making the safest cars in India. Tata Motors however, as a homegrown manufacturer, have been very experimentative with their products over the years. The Nano is a great example in this case. Or even the Sierra with which Tata made its debut all the way back in 1991. Tata has been even more experimentative with their concepts at motor shows but we bet most you havent heard or seen this amazing little concept from Tata from the year 2000.

This what you see above is the Tata Aria. Although the name came to be used in 2010 on a completely different car, the Tata Aria was a two-door, two-seater convertible concept that was showcased at the 5th Auto Expo in 2000. The car was unveiled by Ratan Tata and Bollywood actor Akshay Khanna at the Auto Expo.It really caught a lot o attention at the Expo and why wouldnt it? Just look at it. Who would have though that an Indian manufacturer like Tata could come up with such a cool looking car.

The Tata Aria convertible concept was based on the Tata Indica platform which was Indias first indigenously developed car. Ratan Tata did not reveal much about the car at the Auto Expo but he shared his vision about designing, engineering and manufacturing a car in India for the Indian market back then. We really have to admit that for a car designed in 2000, it is a really good looking car one that certainly does not look like it came out of India. The proportions on this car are perfect, the headlamps are futuristic and it even had the Tata smiley grille back then.

Also Read : Heres How Indian Cars Become Safer Over The Last 5 Years Video

Later that year, Tata Motors even revealed a coupe version of the Aria at the Geneva Motor Show and they did an equally good job with that as well. Even at the Geneva Motor Show, Tata still did not reveal much technical details about the car but only said that it will be powered by a 140PS engine if it ever made it into production, not even revealing the engine details. Imagine what a 140PS two-door Tata convertible must have been to drive like back in the day. Sadly, it never made it to production and away from the public light, it was soon forgotten too.

Also Read : Have Touchscreens and Connected Car Tech Become an Overkill in Cars?

Tata Motors is often considered to me much ahead of their time and we have other examples to prove this as well. Take the Tata Sierra, the Estate or even the Safari, all great vehicles and like nothing at the time they hailed from. In more recent years, Tata has shown a few more such crazy concepts at Auto Expos including the Tata TaMo Sportscar from 2018 and of course, the Tata Sierra EV concept from 2020. We hope to see such more great concepts from Tata Motors and we hope more of them make it to production in the future.

New Nano Drug Candidate Kills Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells – University of Arkansas Newswire

Whit Pruitt, University Relations

Hassan Beyzavi

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a new nano drug candidate that kills triple negative breast cancer cells.

Triple negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive and fatal types of breast cancer. The research will help clinicians target breast cancer cells directly, while avoiding the adverse, toxic side effects of chemotherapy.

Their study was published in June issue of Advanced Therapeutics.

Researchers led by Hassan Beyzavi, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, linked a new class of nanomaterials, called metal-organic frameworks, with the ligands of an already-developed photodynamic therapy drug to create a nano-porous material that targets and kills tumor cells without creating toxicity for normal cells.

Metal-organic frameworks are an emerging class of nanomaterials designed for targeted drug delivery. Ligands are molecules that bind to other molecules.

With the exception of skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in American women, said Beyzavi. As we know, thousands of women die from breast cancer each year. Patients with triple negative cells are especially vulnerable, because of the toxic side effects of the only approved treatment for this type of cancer. Weve addressed this problem by developing a co-formulation that targets cancer cells and has no effect on healthy cells.

Researchers in Beyzavis laboratory focus on developing new, targeted photodynamic therapy drugs. As an alternative to chemotherapy and with significantly fewer side effects targeted photodynamic therapy, or PDT, is a noninvasive approach that relies on a photosensitizer that, upon irradiation by light, generates so-called toxic reactive oxygen species, which kill cancer cells. In recent years, PDT has garnered attention because of its ability to treat tumors without surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.

Beyzavis laboratory has specialized in integrating nanomaterials, such as metal-organic frameworks, with PDT and other and therapies. Metal-organic frameworks significantly enhance the effectiveness of PDT.

Doctoral student Yoshie Sakamaki from Beyzavis laboratrory prepared the nanomaterials and then bio-conjugated them with ligands of the PDT drug to create nanoporous materials that specifically targeted and killed tumor cells with no toxicity in normal cells.

In addition to cancer treatment, this novel drug delivery system could also be used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or fluorescence imaging, which can track the drug in the body and monitor the progress of cancer treatment.

This collaborative project also included contributions from U of A research groups through Julie Stenken, professor of analytical chemistry; Yuchun Du, associate professor of biological sciences; and Jin-Woo Kim, professor of biological and agricultural engineering.

The American Cancer Society estimated 268,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer in 2019 and 41,760 deaths. Currently there are more than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Since 2007, breast cancer death rates have been steady in women younger than 50 but have continued to decrease in older women. This decrease is believed to be the result of earlier detection and better treatments.

Triple negative breast cancer is aggressive and lacks estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, which means it cannot be treated with receptor-targeted therapy. It is difficult to treat with existing chemotherapy and often requires surgery because it quickly metastasizes throughout the body.

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the only approved treatment for this type of breast cancer. More than 80% of women with triple negative breast cancer are treated with chemotherapy regimens that include anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, which can cause cardiotoxicity as a serious side effect. Furthermore, chemotherapy treatment of breast cancer cell lines using either 5-FU, cisplatin, paclitaxel, doxorubicin or etoposide have shown multi-drug resistance.

Beyzavi joined the University of Arkansas in 2017 after serving as a research associate at Harvard University. Before that he was a postdoctoral awardee at Northwestern University under the co-guidance of Nobel Laureate Sir Fraser Stoddart.

About the University of Arkansas: The University of Arkansas provides an internationally competitive education for undergraduate and graduate students in more than 200 academic programs. The university contributes new knowledge, economic development, basic and applied research, and creative activity while also providing service to academic and professional disciplines. The Carnegie Foundation classifies the University of Arkansas among fewer than 2.7 percent of universities in America that have the highest level of research activity. U.S. News & World Report ranks the University of Arkansas among its top American public research universities. Founded in 1871, the University of Arkansas comprises 10 colleges and schools and maintains a low student-to-faculty ratio that promotes personal attention and close mentoring.

Todays societies critically depend on electronic systems. Over the last years, the security of these systems has been at risk by a number of hardware-level attacks that circumvent software-level security mechanisms. Solutions based on classical CMOS electronics have been shown to be either cost intensive due to a high area overhead or energy inefficient. One promising alternative against such hardware level attacks are security primitives based on emerging reconfigurable nanotechnologies. Transistors based on these disruptive reconfigurable nanotechnologies, termed as Reconfigurable Field-Effect Transistors (RFETs), offer programmable p- and n-type behavior from a single device. The runtime-reconfigurable nature of these nano-electronic devices yields to an inherent polymorphic functionality at the logical abstraction. As a result, circuits made of regular RFET blocks are able to provide a large number of possible functional combinations based on the apparently same circuit representation. The manufacturers, therefore, are able to program the desired functionality after chip production. The big difference to standard CMOS electronics is, that the actual circuit or function remains hidden since they cannot be differentiated from other possible combinations by physical reverse engineering.

In SecuReFET, methodologies and circuits will be developed exploiting the inherent polymorphic property of RFETs. RFET-based security-primitives, such as Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) which aim to protect proprietary IP designs, will be designed, modeled, manufactured and measured. The benefit of those cells regarding their resilience against side-channel attacks and reverse engineering will be demonstrated. In addition, potential security threats stemming from the very same reconfigurable nature of the technology, such as hardware Trojans, will be investigated. Measures to mitigate those vulnerabilities by circuit as well as device-design will be explored. Furthermore, an RFET-compatible automated design-synthesis environment (EDA) for logic and physical design of secure circuits will be established based on the modified modern design rules. Finally, the developed concepts will be verified and benchmarked by means of modern security tests.

Mark McDaniel reappointed to NASA Human Exploration and Operations Advisory Committee – alreporter.com

The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday passed the William Mac Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 by a vote of 295 to 125. Congressman Bradley Byrne is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, which passed an earlier version of the NDAA on July 1, 2020, by a vote of 56 to 0.

The bill includes an amendment authored by Byrne authorizing $260 million to construct an additional Expeditionary Fast Transport vessel at Austal Mobile. This years NDAA is named for Ranking Member Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, who chaired the committee during the 114th and 115th Congresses.

The men and women of our Armed Services deserve our complete support, and Im pleased that the House came together in a largely bipartisan manner to give our warfighters the resources necessary to protect us, Byrne said. Both in committee and on the House floor, all Members provided input to strengthen this bill, a practice that occurs far too little in todays House. While I do not agree with everything in the bill, it remains worthy of support, and Im hopeful that some of the partisan provisions added on the House floor will be removed through compromise with the Senate.

Byrne said the additional Austal ship is important for Southwest Alabama.

Importantly for Southwest Alabama, this bill passed with my amendment to authorize the construction of an additional EPF at the Austal shipyard in Mobile, Byrne said. I appreciate my Congressional colleagues for acknowledging Austal and the EPFs importance to our national defense and for their support of the work performed by the 4,000 skilled men and women at Austal Mobile. Construction of this world-class vessel will move us even closer to the Navys goal of a 355-ship fleet.

The NDAA sets policy and authorizes funding for the entire United States military and has been passed by the House each year for the previous 59 years. The Senate is currently considering its own version of the NDAA.

Byrne pointed out several highlights from this years NDAA including that it adheres to last years bipartisan budget agreement and fully funds the Trump administrations request.

Public Service Announcement

The bill includes $740.5 billion total for National Defense Discretionary programs, including $130.6 billion for procurement of advanced weapons systems and $106.2 billion for Research Development Test and Evaluation. The bill also funds a vital nuclear modernization programs to ensure that nuclear deterrent is safe and reliable. It fully funds the B-21 bomber, a new Columbia Class submarine along with an additional attack submarine, and begins work on the W93 warhead that will be critical to meet STRATCOM Commander requirements for the sea-based deterrent.

Byrne says the NDAA also takes a tough stance on China by laying the foundation for an Indo-Pacific Deterrence Initiative to deter China, modeled on the European Deterrence Initiative. The NDAA increases funding in emergent technologies, such as AI, to maintain a technical edge against China, and starts taking financial actions to pursue Chinas graduation from the World Bank and greater transparency with Chinas debt.

Byrne said that the NDAA provides support for troops and families, including a 3 percent pay raise.

Byrne said that the bill also deals with the COVID-19 response. It ensures that the Department of Defense has the diagnostic equipment, testing capabilities, and personal protective equipment necessary to protect our Armed Forces. It requires the National Security Strategy to address the provision of drugs, biologics, vaccines and other critical medical equipment to ensure combat readiness and force health protection.

Byrne said that the NDAA includes almost $600 million above the Presidents Budget Request for science and technology and investments in critical emerging technology areas including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and biotechnology.

The bill changed considerably on the floor of the House. Some GOP Congressmen including Mo Brooks, R-Alabama, voted for the bill in committee and against the bill on the House floor because of some of those changes. President Donald Trump has threatened to veto the bill unless changes to the bill are made before it reaches his desk.

The Senate and House versions will go to a conference committee where a compromise version will be drafted that can pass both Houses.

Byrne represents Alabamas 1st Congressional District. He is leaving Congress at the end of the year.
