Ramanujan Topologies for Decision Making in Sensor Networks

We consider the design of the topology of the communication graph G = (V, E) supporting distributed decision in sensor networks with N = |V | sensors. The numberM of links connecting the sensors, i.e., the number of edges |E| = M in the graph G, is fixed. We assume a simple binary decision test where the data may be spatially correlated. The global detector performs a threshold test on a weighted fusion of the local likelihood ratios, which can be computed in a distributed fashion using a consensus algorithm. The graph topology plays a central role in the convergence speed of the distributed detector. Exhaustive search over the class of possible communication networks is unrealistic. Our solution is constructive. We first reduce this topology design to a spectral graph optimization problem; specifically, to designing the topology that maximizes the ratio γ of the algebraic connectivity to the largest eigenvalue of the graph Laplacian. Borrowing results from spectral graph theory, we show that for the class of non-bipartite Ramanujan graphs γ ≥ γmin . The importance of this inequality is that γmin , asymptotically, is an upper bound onγ for most classes of graphs. The paper discusses the commonly used explicit constructions of Ramanujan graphs and their impact on the convergence speed of distributed consensus. In particular, it shows that these graphs perform much better even for finite values of N than highly structured networks, or small world type graphs, or Erdös-Reńyi random networks.
Quantitative morphology of the embryonic heart: An approach to development of the atrioventricular valves

In 32 human embryos ranging from 4.0 to 42 mm CR‐length, the volumes of the atrioventricular endocardial cushions and of the ventricular myocardium were estimated by the point counting method. The surface densities of the left and right ventricular apical trabeculations were estimated by the point and intersection counting method. It is concluded that the cushions do not grow after the 25 mm stage, by that time having reached the maximal value of 0.074 mm3. This supports the concept that the cushions do not materially contribute to the definitive atrioventricular valves. In young embryos, the left ventricular trabeculations are thicker (as concluded from their higher surface density) than the right ventricular trabeculations. Only around the 25 mm stage, the ratio becomes 1. After this stage, right ventricles have thicker trabeculations than left ventricles have. This supports the concept that the trabecular pattern is changed during the period of valve formation, which process is characterized by delamination of the inner myocardial layers. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Probabilistic object tracking using a range camera

We address the problem of tracking the 6-DoF pose of an object while it is being manipulated by a human or a robot. We use a dynamic Bayesian network to perform inference and compute a posterior distribution over the current object pose. Depending on whether a robot or a human manipulates the object, we employ a process model with or without knowledge of control inputs. Observations are obtained from a range camera. As opposed to previous object tracking methods, we explicitly model self-occlusions and occlusions from the environment, e.g, the human or robotic hand. This leads to a strongly non-linear observation model and additional dependencies in the Bayesian network. We employ a Rao-Blackwellised particle filter to compute an estimate of the object pose at every time step. In a set of experiments, we demonstrate the ability of our method to accurately and robustly track the object pose in real-time while it is being manipulated by a human or a robot.
Biological and taxonomical investigations of some oak species

Hermaphroditic flowers blooming unseasonably on an oak tree (»the green oak«) of uncertain hybrid origin prompted a detailed investigation into the biology of the flowering, and the morphology of various traits of the tree, which is growing in an urban area near Zadar, northern Dalmatia, Croatia. Hermaphroditic flowers were also detected on one holm oak tree from Weihenstephan, Germany. Since the first oak tree was described as a hybrid between Q. cerris f. austriaca Q. ilex, scanning electron microscope investigations of pollen and hairs on the leaves of three species were made, on: Q. ilex L. , Q. cerris L. and the »green oak«. Oak pollen is of elliptical shape and tricolpate. The ornamentation of the pollen grains of Q. cerris and the »green oak« were similar concerning the ornamentation of the exine – warty and rough and with small rounded protrusions – as well as the size of the pollen grain. Q. ilex pollen was much smaller and the surface lacked the small irregularly shaped protrusions typical of the other oaks. Within samples of holm oak pollen, significant difference in the surface structures was observed. Concerning the different types and number of hairs on the leaf surfaces, Q. ilex revealed a much greater number of stellate hairs on the upper leaf side as compared to Q. cerris and the »green oak«. Simple uniseriate hairs and simple unicellular hairs were missing on the leaves of Q. ilex, but were present on both the other oaks. To sum up the results, the »green oak« and Q. cerris reveal some similarities whereas Q. ilex does not.
The AGN and gas disc in the low surface brightness galaxy PGC 045080

We present radio observations and optical spectroscopy of the giant low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy PGC 045080 (or 1300+0144). PGC 045080 is a moderately distant galaxy having a highly inclined optical disc and massive H I gas content. Radio continuum observations of the galaxy were carried out at 320, 610 MHz and 1.4 GHz. Continuum emission was detected and mapped in the galaxy. The emission appears extended over the inner disc at all three frequencies. At 1.4 GHz and 610 MHz it appears to have two distinct lobes. We also did optical spectroscopy of the galaxy nucleus; the spectrum did not show any strong emission lines associated with active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity but the presence of a weak AGN cannot be ruled out. Furthermore, comparison of the Hα flux and radio continuum at 1.4 GHz suggests that a significant fraction of the emission is non-thermal in nature. Hence we conclude that a weak or hidden AGN may be present in PGC 045080. The extended radio emission represents lobes/jets from the AGN. These observations show that although LSB galaxies are metal poor and have very little star formation, their centres can host significant AGN activity. We also mapped the H I gas disc and velocity field in PGC 045080. The H I disc extends well beyond the optical disc and appears warped. In the H I intensity maps, the disc appears distinctly lopsided. The velocity field is disturbed on the lopsided side of the disc but is fairly uniform in the other half. We derived the H I rotation curve for the galaxy from the velocity field. The rotation curve has a flat rotation speed of ∼190 km s −1 .
Quantum nature of the hydrogen bond

Hydrogen bonds are weak, generally intermolecular bonds, which hold much of soft matter together as well as the condensed phases of water, network liquids, and many ferroelectric crystals. The small mass of hydrogen means that they are inherently quantum mechanical in nature, and effects such as zero-point motion and tunneling must be considered, though all too often these effects are not considered. As a prominent example, a clear picture for the impact of quantum nuclear effects on the strength of hydrogen bonds and consequently the structure of hydrogen bonded systems is still absent. Here, we report ab initio path integral molecular dynamics studies on the quantum nature of the hydrogen bond. Through a systematic examination of a wide range of hydrogen bonded systems we show that quantum nuclear effects weaken weak hydrogen bonds but strengthen relatively strong ones. This simple correlation arises from a competition between anharmonic intermolecular bond bending and intramolecular bond stretching. A simple rule of thumb is provided that enables predictions to be made for hydrogen bonded materials in general with merely classical knowledge (such as hydrogen bond strength or hydrogen bond length). Our work rationalizes the influence of quantum nuclear effects, which can result in either weakening or strengthening of the hydrogen bonds, and the corresponding structures, across a broad range of hydrogen bonded materials. Furthermore, it highlights the need to allow flexible molecules when anharmonic potentials are used in force field-based studies of quantum nuclear effects.
Transmembrane serine protease TMPRSS2 activates hepatitis C virus infection

The human liver reacts to hepatitis C virus (HCV) with a balanced response consisting of host anti‐ and proviral activities. To explore these subtle host responses, we used oligonucleotide microarrays to investigate the differential gene expression between two groups of liver samples with high and low HCV loads (>100‐fold difference). We identified and validated 26 genes that were up‐regulated in livers with high HCV loads, including transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2). Trypsin inhibitors inhibited the infection of Huh7‐25‐CD81 cells with cell‐culture–derived HCV (HCVcc) of Japanese fulminant hepatitis 1 isolate at the postbinding and entry step, and trypsin enhanced HCVcc infection at an early stage of infection. Several major transmembrane serine proteases, in particular, furin and hepsin, were detected in Huh7‐25‐CD81 cells, but TMPRSS2 was not. Huh7‐25‐CD81 cell clones stably expressing TMPRSS2‐ WT (wild type) and inactive TMPRSS2‐mutant genes showed positive and negative enhancement of their susceptibility to HCVcc infection, respectively. The enhanced susceptibility of TMPRSS2‐WT Huh7‐25‐CD81 cells was confirmed by knockdown of TMPRSS2 using small interfering RNA. The cell‐surface protease activity of TMPRSS2‐WT cells was markedly active in the cleavage of QAR and QGR, corresponding to amino acid residues at P3 to P1. Conclusion: The cell‐surface activity of a trypsin‐like serine protease, such as TMPRSS2, activates HCV infection at the postbinding and entry stage. Host transmembrane serine proteases may be involved in the sensitivity, persistence, and pathogenesis of HCV infection and be possible targets for antiviral therapy. (Hepatology 2015;61:438‐447)
Development of a real-time breathing-rate monitor using difference operation method and adaptive windowing on dry-electrode ECG signal

Estimation of breathing rate (BR) along with electrocardiogram signal plays an important role in patient health monitoring. Continuous monitoring of BR is often required during diagnosis of many diseases. Traditional methods like nasal air flow equipments employ cumbersome methods of BR monitoring which is not suitable for continuous monitoring. Therefore, a non-invasive method of estimation is required. This paper proposes a non-invasive way of BR estimation using dry-electrode ECG from the palm of a person. The paper uses Respiratory Peak Arrhythmia and Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia based ECG derived respiratory rate estimation technique. We have developed an algorithm for real-time BR estimation which can be run on embedded platform having limited computation capability. The whole algorithm was first tested on MIT-BIH polysomnographic database and then later extended to obtained signal from developed analog circuitry and the embedded platform. Nasal airflow sensor is used for calculating reference BR. The developed setup was tested on volunteers and the obtained results show accuracy to be in between 2 breaths per minutes.
Statistical Atlas of the Human Knee

We describe a semi-automated statistical atlas building pipeline that uses CT images, and present our results for the atlas of the femur and tibia that were built using this pipeline. The method described is a modified and more automated version of the pipeline developed by Dr. Gouthami Chintalapani [2]. The modified pipeline reduces the user interaction, and thus makes the process more accessible and less prone to errors. The femur and tibia atlases obtained using this procedure have good accuracies that enable them to be used for post-operative evaluations.
Continuous tone representation of three-dimensional objects illuminated by sky light

Natural lighting models to date have been limited to calculation of direct sunlight. However, this paper proposes an improved model for natural lighting calculations that adequately considers both direct sunlight and scattered light caused by clouds and other forms of water vapor in the air. Such indirect natural light is termed skylight and can be an important factor when attempting to render realistic looking images as they might appear under overcast skies.In the proposed natural lighting model, the sky is considered to be a hemisphere with a large radius (called the sky dome) that acts as a source of diffuse light with nonuniform intensity. In order to adequately take into account the nonuniform intensity of such skylight, the sky dome is subdivided into bands. The light intensity within individual bands can be assumed to be transversely uniform and longitudinally nonuniform and therefore the total luminance emanating from each band can be calculated more accurately.The proposed method significantly improves the realism of natural lighting effects. Its advantages are particularly apparent when simulating lighting under an overcast sky or when rendering surfaces that fall within a shadow cast by an obstruction lit by direct sunlight.
TimeZoom: a flexible detail and context timeline

In this paper we present TimeZoom, an interactive timeline widget to be combined with a tabular display of data in calendar, e-mail, project planning, or other applications. Different time levels are vertically stacked and can be smoothly zoomed, permitting arbitrary granularity of time units. In addition, single or multiple focus regions with various levels of detail can be defined to allow the display and comparison of time-dependent data, while preserving the overall context.
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clonal Types in the Czech Republic

ABSTRACT Molecular surveillance studies have documented the extensive spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clones. Studies carried out by Centro de Epidemiologia Molecular-Network for Tracking Gram-Positive Pathogenic Bacteria (CEM/NET) led to the identification of two international multidrug-resistant strains, which were designated as the Iberian and Brazilian MRSA clones and which were defined by multiple genomic typing methods; these included ClaI restriction digests hybridized with mecA- and Tn554-specific DNA probes and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The genotypic characteristics of these clones are distinct: the Iberian clone is defined asmecA type I, Tn554 type E (or its variants), and PFGE pattern A (I:E:A), whereas the Brazilian clone is defined asmecA type XI (or its variants), Tn554 type B, and PFGE pattern B (XI:B:B). In this study, we characterized 59 single-patient isolates of MRSA collected during 1996 and 1997 at seven hospitals located in Prague and five other cities in the Czech Republic by using the methodologies mentioned above and by using ribotyping ofEcoRI and HindIII digests hybridized with a 16S-23S DNA probe. The Brazilian MRSA clone (XI:B:B) was the major clone (80%) spread in two hospitals located in Prague and one located in Brno; the Iberian MRSA clone (I:E:A or its variant I:DD:A), although less representative (12%), was detected in two hospitals, one in Prague and the other in Plzen. Almost all the strains belonging to clone XI:B:B (45 of 47) corresponded to a unique ribotype, E1H1, whereas most strains of the I:E:A and I:DD:A clonal types (6 of 7) corresponded to ribotype E2H2.
A Functional Reference Model for Manufacturing Execution Systems in the Automotive Industry

Being confronted with IT strategic questions of how to constantly reduce IT operating costs and at the same time live up to ever increasing manufacturing demands, automobile manufacturers are encountering problems to find appropriate IT support for production planning and execution. Moreover, they are facing the challenge to clearly define and demarcate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) functionality. Despite the existence of a number of standardization efforts addressing MES functionality, automobile manufacturers are still struggling to reach a common understanding for the term MES and a clear functional design. The paper addresses this need by developing a functional reference model for MES in the automotive industry based on a multiple case study approach. The case studies examine the design and implementation of manufacturing-related functionality in four leading automotive manufacturing companies.
Common Missense Variant in the Glucokinase Regulatory Protein Gene Is Associated With Increased Plasma Triglyceride and C-Reactive Protein but Lower Fasting Glucose Concentrations

OBJECTIVE—Using the genome-wide association approach, we recently identified the glucokinase regulatory protein gene (GCKR, rs780094) region as a novel quantitative trait locus for plasma triglyceride concentration in Europeans. Here, we sought to study the association of GCKR variants with metabolic phenotypes, including measures of glucose homeostasis, to evaluate the GCKR locus in samples of non-European ancestry and to fine- map across the associated genomic interval. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We performed association studies in 12 independent cohorts comprising >45,000 individuals representing several ancestral groups (whites from Northern and Southern Europe, whites from the U.S., African Americans from the U.S., Hispanics of Caribbean origin, and Chinese, Malays, and Asian Indians from Singapore). We conducted genetic fine-mapping across the ∼417-kb region of linkage disequilibrium spanning GCKR and 16 other genes on chromosome 2p23 by imputing untyped HapMap single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genotyping 104 SNPs across the associated genomic interval. RESULTS—We provide comprehensive evidence that GCKR rs780094 is associated with opposite effects on fasting plasma triglyceride (Pmeta = 3 × 10−56) and glucose (Pmeta = 1 × 10−13) concentrations. In addition, we confirmed recent reports that the same SNP is associated with C-reactive protein (CRP) level (P = 5 × 10−5). Both fine-mapping approaches revealed a common missense GCKR variant (rs1260326, Pro446Leu, 34% frequency, r2 = 0.93 with rs780094) as the strongest association signal in the region. CONCLUSIONS—These findings point to a molecular mechanism in humans by which higher triglycerides and CRP can be coupled with lower plasma glucose concentrations and position GCKR in central pathways regulating both hepatic triglyceride and glucose metabolism.

Synthetic Graphene Grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition on Copper Foils

The discovery of graphene, a single layer of covalently bonded carbon atoms, has attracted intense interests. Initial studies using mechanically exfoliated graphene unveiled its remarkable electronic, mechanical and thermal properties. There has been a growing need and rapid development in large-area deposition of graphene film and its applications. Chemical vapour deposition on copper has emerged as one of the most promising methods in obtaining large-scale graphene films with quality comparable to exfoliated graphene. In this chapter, we review the synthesis and characterizations of graphene grown on copper foil substrates by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition. We also discuss potential applications of such large scale synthetic graphene.
Double‐blind deconvolution: the analysis of post‐synaptic currents in nerve cells

This paper is concerned with the analysis of observations made on a system that is being stimulated at fixed time intervals but where the precise nature and effect of any individual stimulus is unknown. The realized values are modelled as a stochastic process consisting of a random signal embedded in noise. The aim of the analysis is to use the data to unravel the unknown structure of the system and to ascertain the probabilistic behaviour of the stimuli. A method of parameter estimation based on quasi‐profile likelihood is presented and the statistical properties of the estimates are established while recognizing that there will be a discrepancy between the model and the true data‐generating mechanism. A method of model validation and determination is also advanced and kernel smoothing techniques are proposed as a basis for identifying the amplitude distribution of the stimuli. The data processing techniques described have a direct application to the investigation of excitatory post‐synaptic currents recorded from nerve cells in the central nervous system and their use in quantal analysis of such data is illustrated.
