Privacy-preserving distributed k-means clustering over arbitrarily partitioned data (2005)

Advances in computer networking and database technologies have enabled the collection and storage of vast quantities of data. Data mining can extract valuable knowledge from this data, and organizations have realized that they can often obtain better results by pooling their data together. However, the collected data may contain sensitive or private information about the organizations or their customers, and privacy concerns are exacerbated if data is shared between multiple organizations.Distributed data mining is concerned with the computation of models from data that is distributed among multiple participants. Privacy-preserving distributed data mining seeks to allow for the cooperative computation of such models without the cooperating parties revealing any of their individual data items. Our paper makes two contributions in privacy-preserving data mining. First, we introduce the concept of arbitrarily partitioned data, which is a generalization of both horizontally and vertically partitioned data. Second, we provide an efficient privacy-preserving protocol for k-means clustering in the setting of arbitrarily partitioned data.
Compressive Coded Aperture Spectral Imaging: An Introduction (2013)

Imaging spectroscopy involves the sensing of a large amount of spatial information across a multitude of wavelengths. Conventional approaches to hyperspectral sensing scan adjacent zones of the underlying spectral scene and merge the results to construct a spectral data cube. Push broom spectral imaging sensors, for instance, capture a spectral cube with one focal plane array (FPA) measurement per spatial line of the scene [1], [2]. Spectrometers based on optical bandpass filters sequentially scan the scene by tuning the bandpass filters in steps. The disadvantage of these techniques is that they require scanning a number of zones linearly in proportion to the desired spatial and spectral resolution. This article surveys compressive coded aperture spectral imagers, also known as coded aperture snapshot spectral imagers (CASSI) [1], [3], [4], which naturally embody the principles of compressive sensing (CS) [5], [6]. The remarkable advantage of CASSI is that the entire data cube is sensed with just a few FPA measurements and, in some cases, with as little as a single FPA shot.
Edge Surfaces in Lithographically Textured Molybdenum Disulfide (1987)

Lithographic techniques were used to expose edge surfaces in layered molybdenum disulfide single crystals. This microstructuring produced ideal samples for the study of the surface morphology and electronic structure of this catalytically important material. The optical absorption that was measured at mid-gap increased by two orders of magnitude after texturing. This increase resulted from reduced molybdenum at surface defects that are located on edge planes, as shown by photoemission spectroscopy. This information cannot easily be obtained on conventional crystals with predominantly basal plane surfaces.
Translational Research on Vaccines: Influenza as an Example (2007)

Influenza vaccine development is reviewed as an example of ongoing translational research, which is moving fundamental advances in biology into useful products. The types of new influenza vaccines span the gamut of modern biology research and include new methods of vaccine production (tissue culture compared with egg-produced vaccine). New vaccines being studied include recombinant proteins, polynucleotide vaccines, conjugate vaccines, peptides, expression vectors, and live attenuated vaccines; new adjuvants are being explored to reduce the quantity of antigen needed. The benefits of using reverse genetics are explored. The limits of translational research for predicting clinical results after wide use of vaccines are discussed, including one example of "overinterpretation" of data; some questions should be left to phase IV experience to answer. The pipeline for new influenza vaccines is robust, and recent investment by government and industry in newer vaccines will bring several new products to clinical use.
An x-ray stepper for synchrotron radiation lithography (1988)

A prototype synchrotron radiation (SR) stepper for quarter-micron devices has been developed and installed at the Photon Factory in the National Laboratory for High Energy Physics, Japan. The stepper features are, (i) exposure in an atmospheric environment, (ii) large exposure area (25-mm sq), and (iii) alignment error detection at all times, including during exposure. The stepper consists of an SR extracting chamber, precision mechanical stages, and an alignment error detection system. An SR beam in UHV goes through a beryllium window into an atmospheric environment, and covers the 25-mm sq exposure area by using an oscillating mirror. Patterns on a mask are imprinted onto a wafer. Mask and wafer are, respectively, held in place with vacuum chucks. Their subsequent positioning movements are driven in 6 degrees of freedom by piezoelectric actuators for fine alignment and gap setting. The alignment system, based on the previous Fresnel lens optical system, newly employs a differential mode linear Fresnel zone plate alignment method. As the optical system for this method is located at the outside of an SR beam, it can detect an alignment error between a mask and a wafer at all times, including during exposure. Patterns measuring 0.2 μm were completely successfully imprinted on a wafer. Until now, 0.03-μm (3σ) positioning accuracy and 0.2-μm (3σ) overlay accuracy were achieved.
An adaptive microstrip patch antenna for use in portable transceivers (2002)

This paper describes an adaptive frequency tunable microstrip patch antenna. The introduction of an adaptive feedback loop enables the patch antenna to optimise the antenna-feed impedance match. As a result, the performance of the antenna is less affected by external disturbances such as coupling to nearby objects. Measurements evaluating the performance of the proposed antenna, in terms of transmitted power and bit error rate, are presented.

Convergent Domestication of Cereal Crops by Independent Mutations at Corresponding Genetic Loci (1995)

Independent domestication of sorghum, rice, and maize involved convergent selection for large seeds, reduced disarticulation of the mature inflorescence, and daylength-insensitive flowering. These similar phenotypes are largely determined by a small number of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that correspond closely in the three taxa. The correspondence of these QTLs transcends 65 million years of reproductive isolation. This finding supports models of quantitative inheritance that invoke relatively few genes, obviates difficulties in map-based cloning of QTLs, and impels the comparative mapping of complex pheno-types across large evolutionary distances, such as those that separate humans from rodents and domesticated mammals.
Subunit structure of the mammalian exocyst complex (1997)

The exocyst is a protein complex required for the late stages of secretion in yeast. Unlike the SNAREs (SNAP receptors), important secretory proteins that are broadly distributed on the target membrane, the exocyst is specifically located at sites of vesicle fusion. We have isolated cDNAs encoding the rexo70, rsec5, and rsec15 subunits of the mammalian complex. The amino acid sequences encoded by these genes are between 21% and 24% identical to their yeast homologs. All three genes are broadly expressed and multiple transcripts are observed for rexo70 and rsec15. Characterization of cDNAs encoding the 84-kDa subunit of the mammalian complex revealed a novel protein. mAbs were generated to the mammalian rsec6 subunit of the exocyst complex. rsec6 immunoreactivity is found in a punctate distribution at terminals of PC12 cell processes at or near sites of granule exocytosis.
Low Utilization of Circulating Glucose after Food Withdrawal in Snell Dwarf Mice (2007)

Glucose metabolism is altered in long-lived people and mice. Although it is clear that there is an association between altered glucose metabolism and longevity, it is not known whether this link is causal or not. Our current hypothesis is that decreased fasting glucose utilization may increase longevity by reducing oxygen radical production, a potential cause of aging. We observed that whole body fasting glucose utilization was lower in the Snell dwarf, a long-lived mutant mouse. Whole body fasting glucose utilization may be reduced by a decrease in the production of circulating glucose. Our isotope labeling analysis indicated both gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis were suppressed in Snell dwarfs. Elevated circulating adiponectin may contribute to the reduction of glucose production in Snell dwarfs. Adiponectin lowered the appearance of glucose in the media over hepatoma cells by suppressing gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. The suppression of glucose production by adiponectin in vitro depended on AMP-activated protein kinase, a cell mediator of fatty acid oxidation. Elevated fatty acid oxidation was indicated in Snell dwarfs by increased utilization of circulating oleic acid, reduced intracellular triglyceride content, and increased phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Finally, protein carbonyl content, a marker of oxygen radical damage, was decreased in Snell dwarfs. The correlation between high glucose utilization and elevated oxygen radical production was also observed in vitro by altering the concentrations of glucose and fatty acids in the media or pharmacologic inhibition of glucose and fatty acid oxidation with 4-hydroxycyanocinnamic acid and etomoxir, respectively.
A Novel Approach towards Medical Entity Recognition in Chinese Clinical Text (2017)

Medical entity recognition, a basic task in the language processing of clinical data, has been extensively studied in analyzing admission notes in alphabetic languages such as English. However, much less work has been done on nonstructural texts that are written in Chinese, or in the setting of differentiation of Chinese drug names between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Here, we propose a novel cascade-type Chinese medication entity recognition approach that aims at integrating the sentence category classifier from a support vector machine and the conditional random field-based medication entity recognition. We hypothesized that this approach could avoid the side effects of abundant negative samples and improve the performance of the named entity recognition from admission notes written in Chinese. Therefore, we applied this approach to a test set of 324 Chinese-written admission notes with manual annotation by medical experts. Our data demonstrated that this approach had a score of 94.2% in precision, 92.8% in recall, and 93.5% in F-measure for the recognition of traditional Chinese medicine drug names and 91.2% in precision, 92.6% in recall, and 91.7% F-measure for the recognition of Western medicine drug names. The differences in F-measure were significant compared with those in the baseline systems.
Azithromycin 1.5% ophthalmic solution: efficacy and treatment modalities in chronic blepharitis (2012)

Topical 1.5% azithromycin ophthalmic solution is an effective treatment option for chronic blepharitis. In moderate to severe blepharitis, a one month treatment is safe and shows better improvement than the three-day protocol with no significant relapse until three months of follow-up.

SELDI‐TOF MS of quadruplicate urine and serum samples to evaluate changes related to storage conditions (2006)

Proteomic profiling with SELDI-TOF MS has facilitated the discovery of disease-specific protein profiles. However, multicenter studies are often hindered by the logistics required for prompt deep-freezing of samples in liquid nitrogen or dry ice within the clinic setting prior to shipping. We report high concordance between MS profiles within sets of quadruplicate split urine and serum samples deep-frozen at 0, 2, 6, and 24 h after sample collection. Gage R&R results confirm that deep-freezing times are not a statistically significant source of SELDI-TOF MS variability for either blood or urine.
Superhydrophobic behavior of fluorinated carbon nanofiber arrays (2006)

Superhydrophobic behavior of fluorinated carbon nanofiber (CNF) arrays, prepared by a template-assisted synthesis, has been investigated. A thermal chemical vapor method, using perfluorohexane as the precursor, was used to coat fluorocarbon on the surface of the CNFs, thus lowering their surface tension. The F-coated CNFs exhibited a good water-repellent behavior, i.e., the highest value of contact angle ∼166°. The superhydrophobicity of water droplets on the arrays can be well predicted by a modified Cassie-Baxter model, incorporating the pore size distributions determined from the density functional theory method. This satisfactory result would shed one light on how the variation of opened sizes would induce the superhydrophobicity of nanostructured surfaces.
Effects of high dose raloxifene in selected patients with advanced breast carcinoma (2000)

Raloxifene HCl, 150 mg, administered twice daily was safe, well tolerated, and modestly effective in highly selected postmenopausal women with advanced breast carcinoma. Further study of high dose raloxifene as monotherapy for advanced breast carcinoma most likely is unwarranted.

Homing of Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells: New Insights, New Challenges? (2001)

In healthy adults, hematopoiesis takes place in the bone marrow, where the majority of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) reside. In patients undergoing chemo- and/or radiotherapy, hematopoiesis is seriously disturbed. Reconstitution of bone-marrow function can be achieved by bone marrow transplantation or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The success of stem cell transplantation depends on the ability of intravenously infused stem cells to lodge in the bone marrow, a process referred to as homing. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern this process are poorly understood. It is hypothesized that homing is a multistep process, consisting of adhesion of the HPC to endothelial cells of the marrow sinusoids, followed by transendothelial migration directed by chemoattractants, and finally anchoring within the extravascular bone marrow spaces where proliferation and differentiation will occur. In this review, we discuss the factors that determine the engraftment potential of stem cells, and focus on various aspects of migration and homing of HPC, i.e., the role of the chemokine stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its receptor CXCR-4, the involvement of adhesion molecules, and the induction of actin polymerization in the HPC. Defining the role of chemokines and adhesion molecules in human stem cell migration and engraftment will help us uncover the underlying mechanisms that regulate stem cell homing and will eventually advance clinical stem cell transplantation.
Variational Continual Learning (2017)

This paper develops variational continual learning (VCL), a simple but general framework for continual learning that fuses online variational inference (VI) and recent advances in Monte Carlo VI for neural networks. The framework can successfully train both deep discriminative models and deep generative models in complex continual learning settings where existing tasks evolve over time and entirely new tasks emerge. Experimental results show that VCL outperforms state-of-the-art continual learning methods on a variety of tasks, avoiding catastrophic forgetting in a fully automatic way.
Enhanced Fructose Oxidase Activity in a Galactose Oxidase Variant (2004)

Galactose oxidase (GO; EC 1.1.3.9) catalyses the oxidation of a wide range of primary alcohols including mono-, oligo- and polysaccharides. High-resolution structures have been determined for GO, but no structural information is available for the enzyme with bound substrate or inhibitor. Previously, computer-aided docking experiments have been used to develop a plausible model for interactions between GO and the D-galactose substrate. Residues implicated in such interactions include Arg330, Gln406, Phe464, Phe194 and Trp290. In the present study we describe an improved expression system for recombinant GO in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. We use this system to express variant proteins mutated at Arg330 and Phe464 to explore the substrate binding model. We also demonstrate that the Arg330 variants display greater fructose oxidase activity than does wild-type GO.
Intratumor administration of beta-interferon in recurrent malignant gliomas. A phase I clinical and laboratory study (1990)

We administered doses of 5 to 180 x 10(6) IU of beta-serine-interferon (IFN-beta ser17) twice weekly to 20 patients with recurrent malignant gliomas in a Phase I study. Interferon was given through an Ommaya reservoir connected by a catheter to the tumor cavity. Side effects of interferon therapy occurred in only one patient and consisted of nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills after each treatment, presumably due to rapid diffusion of interferon into ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Problems with the Ommaya reservoir (obstruction in two patients and infection in four patients) led to six patients being terminated from the study, and represent the major difficulty with this form of therapy. Although this was primarily a study of interferon toxicity, of 12 evaluable patients, 3 had stable disease for 148, 192, and 539 days; 9 had progressive disease. In addition, we tested the effect of IFN-beta ser17 on the growth of early passage in vitro cultures of malignant gliomas established from patients. Growth inhibition varied from 0% to more than 50%. In all cultures evaluated, the combination of recombinant gamma-interferon plus IFN-beta ser17 enhanced growth inhibition. Further clinical and laboratory study is necessary to better define the therapeutic efficacy of IFN-beta ser17 and the role of combinations of interferons in the treatment of malignant gliomas.
The Effects of Supplemental Administration of Ji-daboku-ippo on Rheumatoid Arthritis. (1995)

著者らは, 桂枝加苓朮附湯・桂枝二越婢一湯・桂枝芍薬知母湯等を慢性関節リウマチ (RA) の漢方治療における主方と位置づけているが, 主方だけで関節炎をコントロールすることはしぼしば困難である。今回, 主方に十分反応しなかった12例のRA患者を対象とし, 主方ならびに他のRA治療薬を変更せずに治打撲一方エキス (7.5g/日) を投与し, ランスバリー指数の変化を中心に検討した。3ヵ月間の治打撲一方エキス兼用によってランスバリー指数の平均値±SEは, 45.3±5.8%から33.3±3.8%へと有意に低下した (P<0.01)。1年間の治療後, ランスバリー指数の20%以上の低下が4例でみられた。以上の結果より, RAの漢方治療において, 主方に十分反応しない場合に治打撲一方兼用が有効であることが示唆された。
Lean premixed flames for low NO{sub x} combustors (1995)

Gas turbines are being used throughout the world to generate electricity. Due to increasing fuel costs and environmental concerns, gas turbines must meet stringent performance requirements, demonstrating high thermal efficiencies and low pollutant emissions. In order for U.S. manufactured gas turbines to stay competitive, their NO{sub x} levels must be below 10 ppm and their thermal efficiencies should approach 60%. Current technology is being stretched to achieve these goals. The twin goals of high efficiency and low NO{sub x} emissions require extending the operating range of current gas turbines. Higher efficiency requires operation at higher pressures and temperatures. Lower NO{sub x} emissions requires lower flame temperatures. Lower flame temperatures can be achieved through partially to fully pre-mixed combustion. However, increased performance and lower emissions result in a set of competing goals. In order to achieve a successful compromise between high efficiency and low NO{sub x} emissions, advanced design tools must be developed. One key design tool is a computationally efficient, high pressure, turbulent flow, combustion model capable of predicting pollutant formation in an actual gas turbine. Its development is the goal of this program. Achieving this goal requires completion of three tasks. The first task is to develop a reduced chemical kinetics model describing N{sub O}x formation in natural gas-air systems. The second task is to develop a computationally efficient model that describes turbulence-chemistry interactions. The third task is to incorporate the reduced chemical kinetics and turbulence-chemistry interaction models into a commercially available flow solver and compare its predictions with experimental data obtained under carefully controlled conditions so that the accuracy of model predictions can be evaluated.
