A load-balanced crosspoint-queued switch fabric

The fast growth of Internet has created the need for high-speed switches. Recently, the crosspoint-queue switch has attracted attention because of its scalability and high performance. However, the Cross-point-Queue switch does not perform well under non-uniform traffic. To overcome this limitation, the Load-Balanced Cross-point-Queued switch architecture has been proposed. In this architecture, a load-balance stage is placed ahead of the Cross-point-Queued stage. The load-balance stage transforms the incoming non-uniform traffic into nearly uniform traffic at the input port of the second stage. To avoid out-of-order cells, this stage employs flow-based queues in each crosspoint buffer. Analysis and simulation results reveal that under non-uniform traffic, this new switch architecture achieves a delay performance similar to that of the Output-Queued switch without the need for internal acceleration. In addition, its throughput is much better than that of the pure cross-point-queued switch. Finally, it can achieve the same packet loss rate as the cross-point-queue switch, while using a buffer size that is only 65% of that used by the cross-point-queue switch.
Do countries matter for voluntary disclosure? Evidence from cross-listed firms in the US

This paper explores the likelihood and consequences of voluntary disclosure (proxied by management earnings forecasts) for a sample of 1005 cross-listed firms in the US from 40 countries over the period 1996–2005. Our study is grounded in a three-tiered conceptual framework that relies on insights from and implications of institutional theory, agency theory and bonding theory to explain the costs and benefits associated with voluntary disclosure. Consistent with institutional theory and agency theory, our results indicate that disclosure likelihood increases with the strength of cross-listed firms’ home-country legal institutions, and is also influenced by US listing type, product market internationalization, and ownership structure. Further, our results show that voluntarily committing to US disclosure practice is associated with lower information asymmetry, which supports reputational bonding theory. Overall, our study provides a costs-and-benefits framework to understand voluntary disclosure practices in an international context. Our work also presents evidence that home-country institutions still matter when foreign firms migrate into the US financial market, which highlights the importance of country-level institution development.
Modernization of sexuality and the construction of deviance in soviet lithuania

While the hostile attitudes towards LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) people in Eastern Europe are often attributed to the legacy of the Soviet past, scholarly research on the history of sexuality and its management in state-socialism is still lacking. The main goal of this research project is to provide the first rigorous historical analysis of the construction of queer sexuality as “deviance” in medical, criminological, educational, and other discourses and practices in Soviet Lithuania (1945-1990). Besides from this goal, additional objectives of this project are: 1) to analyse the production of queer subjectivities and the boundaries of agency of queer people in the context of socialist modernization, thus questioning the assumption about the Soviet period as merely repressive; 2) to contribute to a more nuanced and less heteronormative historical understanding of the development of modern sexuality in the Soviet Union through a close engagement with queer and feminist theory; 3) to develop a conceptual toolbox, informed by postcolonial and decolonial approaches, to the historical study of sexuality in the context of Soviet Lithuania, in this way broadening the Western-centered theoretical framework of queer studies; and 4) to join the scholarly debates on sexuality and gender within the Cold War context, the modern history of sexuality in Europe, and the cultural history and intellectual history of state-socialism. In order to achieve these goals and objectives, the project combines archival research with oral history in the examination of the construction of sexual “deviance” and the limits of queer resistance in the context of Soviet Lithuania. Employing the insights from queer and postcolonial studies, the research will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the development of modern discourses of sexuality and contemporary queer identities in Europe, and will question the narrative of modernization as sexual liberation.

Abstracts from the ASENT 2010 annual meeting March 4–6, 2010

Approved symptomatic therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) provide modest relief. In the future, it is likely that symptomatic treatments will be utilized with AD modifying therapies, the development of which are currently a primary focus of research. The nicotinic α7 receptor agonist may be an attractive drug candidate to potentially improve cognition in Alzheimer's disease patients either as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with other symptomatic treatments. EVP-6124 is a novel, potent, and selective α7 nicotinic receptor agonist. EVP-6124 has an excellent brain to plasma exposure ratio and has shown excellent efficacy and potency in a number of animal models of cognition. Four clinical studies in >125 healthy normal human subjects have been completed with EVP-6124, including a single-ascending-dose study, a 14-day multiple-ascending-dose study, a 21-day multiple-dose study, and a single-dose relative bioavailability, food, and gender effect study. EVP-6124 exhibited linear kinetics over the range of 1 to 180 mg and demonstrated a half-life suitable for once daily dosing. EVP-6124 appears to be safe and well tolerated for up to 21 days as measured by adverse events, vital signs, continuous cardiac monitoring, physical examination, and clinical laboratory evaluations. In addition, in normal volunteers, EVP-6124 demonstrated pro-cognitive effects (CogState testing) in various cognitive domains including executive function. These data suggest that EVP-6124 administered to AD subjects on stable cholinesterase inhibitor therapies may have potential benefit and that further study in this patient population is indicated. Larger phase II studies are currently being initiated in both Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

Zetamix, the first desktop ceramic 3d printer on the market

NANOE is an SME evolving on the Ceramic Engineering market for 10 years, as a manufacturer of ready-to-sinter and high-purity nanopowders for the industry. NANOE innovated on that market by allowing its clients to use its powders in a standard production process, by resolving difficulties linked to powder’s fineness. With the development of a complete range of ceramic materials and high industrial production capacities, NANOE rapidly succeeded in increasing its turnover. To further increase its development, NANOE diversified its activities on the Additive Manufacturing (AM) market, where the only commercialized Ceramic printers, based on stereolithography and binder-jetting technologies, stay complex to use and costly. Instead of adapting printers to the production of specific raw-materials, NANOE adjusted Ceramics’ binding formulation, so that it can be used on desktop printers already available on the market. ZETAMIX will be the first range of ready-to-use ceramic filaments that can be used with common desktops 3D printers worldwide. Thanks to ZETAMIX, industrials will be able to print quicker high-quality technical ceramics in small series, at any time and for an entry-price of €10 000. NANOE commercialized a first version of its ZETAMIX filaments, which is currently produced at a laboratory-scale and tested within some companies. Thanks to its numerous competitive advantages, its unique approach, its existing network of resellers and the recognition of its brand, NANOE should rapidly expand on the technical materials for AM market. NANOE will first target the markets segments of automotive, aeronautics and energy and rapidly expand on international markets. NANOE still have to solve technical challenges regarding filaments’ facility of use and parts quality. These developments will be financed in the frame of SME instrument Phase 1, with the objective to become the worldwide leader in technical materials’ 3D printing for the industry within the next 5 years.
Characterization of alkaline protease

The microbial proteases from Bacillus sp. are commercial enzymes, which havefound wide applications in various industrial, biotechnological, medicinal and basic research fields. Bacillus is the most important bacterial source of proteases and is capable of producing high yields of alkaline proteolytic enzymes with significant properties, such as high stability towards high temperatures, pH, organic solvents, detergents and oxidizing agents. Proteases produced by enzymatic method were more Eco friendly when compared with the chemical process and it has tremendous potential in the leather, detergent industry and in other several industries. Leather manufacturing process generates quantities of byproducts and solid wastes higher than that of finished leather. Highly polluting solid wastes containing varied quantities of protein are currently being wasted due to their non utilization. With increasing importance on the environmental protection, the use of bio catalysts gained considerable attention. There is a need to explore new microorganisms for production of new enzymes which have versatile ability to fulfill industrial demand.
Quality Control of Widely Used Therapeutic Recombinant Proteins by a Novel Real-Time PCR Approach.

Existence of bacterial host-cell DNA contamination in biopharmaceutical products is a potential risk factor for patients receiving these drugs. Hence, the quantity of contamination must be controlled under the regulatory standards. Although different methods such as hybridization assays have been employed to determine DNA impurities, these methods are labor intensive and rather expensive. In this study, a rapid real-time PCR test was served as a method of choice to quantify the E. coli host- cell DNA contamination in widely used recombinant streptokinase (rSK) , and alpha interferon (IFN-α) preparations.A specific primer pair was designed to amplify a sequence inside the E. coli 16S rRNA gene. Serial dilutions of DNA extracted from E. coli host cells, along with DNA extracted from Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients of rSK, and IFN-α samples were subjected to an optimized real-time PCR assay based on SYBR Green chemistry.The test enabled us to detect a small quantity of genomic DNA contamination as low as 0.0002 pg in recombinant protein-based drugs. For the first time, this study showed that DNA contamination in rSK and IFN-α preparation manufactured in Pasteur Institute of Iran is much lower than the safety limit suggested by the US FDA.Real-time PCR is a reliable test for rapid detection of host-cell DNA contamination, which is a major impurity of therapeutic recombinant proteins to keep manufacturers' minds on refining drugs, and provides consumers with safer biopharmaceuticals.
An ontological representation for Tsunami early warning system

Wireless sensors are used for monitoring environments such as climate change, water quality and disaster management. Disaster management is a critical and emergent operation now, especially tsunami warning and prediction system. The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) runs a tsunami early warning system for mitigation of oceanogenic disasters. The early warning system comprises of systems like seismic stations, Bottom Pressure Recorder (BPR) and tide gauges. The critical task of the warning system is interpretation of the complex multidimensional data generated by various sensors and interoperability among the systems and handling of heterogeneous data. The issues are in developing a methodology to integrate heterogeneous data received from various components of tsunami early warning system and providing web based data service. To address these requirements importance is given to both syntactic and semantic nature of the data. The syntactic part is responsible for the interoperability of the sensor data. Interoperability is addressed by using Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) framework. Ontologies are used as a means for solving the information heterogeneity problems because of their capability to provide explicit meaning to the information. In this paper we propose a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) model for the interoperability of sensor networks data and semantics of the data. The purpose of the paper is to provide more meaningful information for Tsunami early warning system using ontology and Jena rule representation.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

A system for transmitting digital signals over a transmission line including a driver of an inverter employing CMOS FET's (T1, T2) and a termination of an inverter employing CMOS FET's (T3, T4). A sense/control circuit (40) at the termination senses changes in the operating condition of the driver inverter and in response thereto controls the operating condition of the termination inverter. Under steady state conditions the termination inverter establishes the appropriate voltage at an output connection (37) coupled thereto without dissipating any power.
Using the developed cross-flow filtration chip for collecting blood plasma under high flow rate condition and applying the immunoglobulin E detection

This paper presents a cross-flow filtration chip for separating blood cells (white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets) and obtaining blood plasma from human blood. Our strategy is to flow the sample solution in parallel to the membrane, which can generate a parallel shear stress to remove the clogging microparticles on the membrane, so the pure sample solution is obtained in the reservoir. The cross-flow filtration chip includes a cross-flow layer, a Ni-Pd alloy micro-porous membrane, and a reservoir layer. The three layers are packaged in a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) frame to create the cross-flow filtration chip. Various dilutions of the blood sample (original, 2 × , 3 × , 5 × , and 10×), pore sizes with different diameters (1 µm, 2 µm, 4 µm, 7 µm, and 10 µm), and different flow rates (1 mL/min, 3 mL/min, 5 mL/min, 7 mL/min, and 10 mL/min) are tested to determine their effects on filtration percentage. The best filtration percentage is 96.2% when the dilution of the blood sample is 10 × , the diameter of pore size of a Ni-Pd alloy micro-porous membrane is 2 µm, and the flow rate is 10 mL/min. Finally, for the clinical tests of the immunoglobulin E (IgE) concentration, the cross-flow filtration chip is used to filter the blood of the allergy patients to obtain the blood plasma. This filtered blood plasma is compared with that obtained using the conventional centrifugation based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results reveal that these two blood separation methods have similar detection trends. The proposed filtration chip has the advantages of low cost, short filtration time, and easy operation and thus can be applied to the separation of microparticles, cells, bacteria, and blood.
Atypical Right Hemisphere Specialization for Object Representations in an Adolescent with Specific Language Impairment

Individuals with a diagnosis of specific language impairment (SLI) show abnormal spoken language occurring alongside normal non-verbal abilities. Behaviorally, people with SLI exhibit diverse profiles of impairment involving phonological, grammatical, syntactic, and semantic aspects of language. In this study, we used a multimodal neuroimaging technique called anatomically constrained magnetoencephalography (aMEG) to measure the dynamic functional brain organization of an adolescent with SLI. Using single-subject statistical maps of cortical activity, we compared this patient to a sibling and to a cohort of typically developing subjects during the performance of tasks designed to evoke semantic representations of concrete objects. Localized patterns of brain activity within the language impaired patient showed marked differences from the typical functional organization, with significant engagement of right hemisphere heteromodal cortical regions generally homotopic to the left hemisphere areas that usually show the greatest activity for such tasks. Functional neuroanatomical differences were evident at early sensoriperceptual processing stages and continued through later cognitive stages, observed specifically at latencies typically associated with semantic encoding operations. Our findings show with real-time temporal specificity evidence for an atypical right hemisphere specialization for the representation of concrete entities, independent of verbal motor demands. More broadly, our results demonstrate the feasibility and potential utility of using aMEG to characterize individual patient differences in the dynamic functional organization of the brain.
Du musée intégral au musée social : l’épistémologie politique de la muséologie sociale au Brésil

RésumésFrançais English Español La réflexion sur l'épistémologie politique de la muséologie sociale au Brésil s'appuie ici sur une observation des énoncés et des usages contemporains du musée.Notre objectif est de démontrer comment, à partir d'influences diverses et grâce à certaines politiques publiques nationales, les « musées sociaux » partagent certaines caractéristiques communes et issues des mêmes principes « idéologiques » à la base de la notion de « musée de société » dans le contexte français.En outre, nous chercherons à démontrer comment ces musées ont subverti la normativité disciplinaire de ce même concept dans les expériences locales en Amérique latine.Enfin, à travers l'exemple du Museu das remoções, un musée social urbain créé en 2016, nous montrerons la manière dont la « muséologie sociale » reflète cette tendance à l'expression contestataire, aussi bien inspirée par des modèles importés que subvertie par les groupes sociaux qui se reconnaissent comme acteurs de la contre-muséalisation politisée du patrimoine.This article reflects on the political epistemology of social museology in Brazil, by considering the uses and discourses of museums in contemporary contexts.Through an examination of national public policies and other influences, the paper argues that so-called "social museums" in Brazil share common characteristics and stem from the same "ideological" principles that yielded the notion of musée de société in the French context.Likewise, it shows how social museums have subverted the normativity of the musée de société as a concept in local experiences in Latin America.Lastly, Museu das Remoções, an urban social museum created in 2016, is taken as an example to illustrate how "social museology" has become a trend for the expression of protest, inspired by imported models and, at the same time, subverted by social groups that recognize themselves as actors in the politicized counter-musealization of heritage.La presente reflexión sobre la epistemología política de la museología social en Brasil se basa en la observación de los enunciados y usos contemporáneos del museo.Nuestro objetivo consiste en demostrar cómo, a partir de diversas influencias y gracias a ciertas políticas públicas nacionales, los "museos sociales" comparten ciertas características comunes y provenientes de los mismos principios "ideológicos" que estructuran la noción de "museo de sociedad" en el contexto francés.Adicionalmente, buscamos demostrar de qué manera estos museos han subvertido la normatividad disciplinaria de este mismo concepto en experiencias locales de América Latina.Finalmente, a través del ejemplo del Museu das remoções, un museo social urbano creado en 2016, mostraremos cómo la "museología social" refleja esta tendencia a la expresión contestataria, inspirada por los modelos importados y subvertida por grupos sociales que se reconocen como actores de la contra-musealización politizada del patrimonio.
Bringing to market an open source cfd framework as a fully automated simulation service with high performance computing cloud-based access

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) uses numerical analysis and algorithms to predict flow with a computer. CFD analyses not only fluid flow behaviour, but also mass, phase change, chemical reactions, mechanical movement, the transfer of heat, and stress/deformation of related solid structures. Rapid progress over the past two decades in computational power, comprehensive physical models, and advances in numerical methods has made it possible for engineers to use CFD simulations routinely in a wide range of industrial, environmental and biomedical applications across various industries including aerospace, automotive, chemical engineering, healthcare, and more. It is increasingly used to complement or replace wind tunnel simulations in the automobile and aerospace sectors. The many applications for CFD all create great value in terms of increased product performance and time to market.
However, CFD simulation requires specialized engineers performing manual preparation and post-production tasks, expensive CFD software licenses and intensive computing resources that small and medium size enterprises cannot afford. Likewise, many sectors that could benefit from CFD simulation to simulate heat and cooling airflow for energy optimization (like architecture and construction) find CFD costs prohibitive. Many large enterprises, like our client Thule, have to turn to expensive consulting services rather than investing in in-house CFD solutions. 
Adaptive Simulations has developed a breakthrough simulation-as-a-service solution which automates CFD simulation and drives costs down by 70%. Our innovation will democratise CFD for the Industry 4.0 revolution.
This phase 1 project will validate the technical and commercial feasibility of fully automated flow simulations as a service, continuing our customer development to date. We will recruit organisations willing to trial the solution in phase 2 ahead of large-scale deployment across a range of sectors and users.
