Traffic Video Analytics – Case Study Report (2019)

Traffic safety and traffic congestion represent one of the biggest problems in modern cities, and improving these is a major promise of smart cities of the future. Microsoft collaborated with the City of Bellevue to use video camera feeds for traffic video analytics. The partnership’s vision was to use the widely deployed traffic camera feeds for traffic analytics on road users as opposed to traditional mechanical or manual approaches. A primary objective of the partnership was to evaluate if video analytics can produce accurate outputs on live video feeds to produce actionable insights to inform Vision Zero strategies. Bellevue is committed to implementing a Vision Zero Action Plan, with the goal of zero traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030. The Microsoft team developed a video analytics platform that analyzed videos to produce directional counts of traffic users (vehicles, bicycles, etc.). The results were aggregated into a video analytics dashboard, that was deployed at the City of Bellevue’s Traffic Management Center from Jul 2017 to Nov 2018, and produced live alerts on abnormal traffic volumes. The dashboard also helped Bellevue transportation planners understand traffic patterns over long periods of time. For example, it provided the perspective on vehicle and bicycle patterns, prior to and after construction of a dedicated bicycle lane on 108th Avenue. Finally, the video analytics system‘s insights on directional volumes and unusual traffic patterns provided an additional tool for real-time traffic operations in the Bellevue Traffic Management Center.
Extracting nonrigid moving objects by temporal edges (2003)

Describes a method for extracting nonrigid moving objects. Every moving object may be approximated by a set of iso-intensity patches. The method finds the motions of these patches by integrating the locations and the intensities of temporal edges. Then, it finds the objects by finding clusters among the motions of the patches. The proposed method can extract many nonrigid objects on a complicated background. The performance of the proposed method was tested successfully on extracting pedestrians from a cinematic sequence viewing a street crossing.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Lactic Fermentation of Media Containing High Concentrations of Yeast Extracts (1997)

ABSTRACT Yeasts extracts (YE) were supplemented with whey permeate and citrate (YPC) as substrates for lactic acid and diacetyl production. Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis AD was selected for high production of lactic acid and diacetyl. High correlation (r 2 = 0.88) occurred between acidification and population increases in YPC containing 70 g/L YE. Media with 100 g/L YE were inhibitory to growth. YPC supplementation with M17 or MRS had little effect on growth but reduced diacetyl. Increasing incubation temperature to 25°C stimulated fermentation but a temperature rise to 30°C only increased lactic acid. With 2L fermenters (20°C/110 rpm) on YPC (70 g/L YE) maximal diacetyl was obtained between 12–16h, and maximal population was obtained after 22h. Fermenter‐production of diacetyl in YPC was comparable to that in milk (1 to 10 ppm) but less than that in shake flasks (32 ppm).
CCNet: Criss-Cross Attention for Semantic Segmentation (2019)

Full-image dependencies provide useful contextual information to benefit visual understanding problems. In this work, we propose a Criss-Cross Network (CCNet) for obtaining such contextual information in a more effective and efficient way. Concretely, for each pixel, a novel criss-cross attention module in CCNet harvests the contextual information of all the pixels on its criss-cross path. By taking a further recurrent operation, each pixel can finally capture the full-image dependencies from all pixels. Overall, CCNet is with the following merits: 1) GPU memory friendly. Compared with the non-local block, the proposed recurrent criss-cross attention module requires 11x less GPU memory usage. 2) High computational efficiency. The recurrent criss-cross attention significantly reduces FLOPs by about 85% of the non-local block in computing full-image dependencies. 3) The state-of-the-art performance. We conduct extensive experiments on popular semantic segmentation benchmarks including Cityscapes, ADE20K, and instance segmentation benchmark COCO. In particular, our CCNet achieves the mIoU score of 81.4 and 45.22 on Cityscapes test set and ADE20K validation set, respectively, which are the new state-of-the-art results.

An Overview of Phenomena Involving Surfactant Mixtures (1986)

The effect of using mixtures of surfactants on micelle formation, monolayer formation, solubilization, adsorption, precipitation, and cloud point phenomena is discussed. Mechanisms of surfactant interaction and some models useful in describing these phenomena are outlined. The use of surfactant mixtures to solve technological problems is also considered.
Upregulation of acidic fibroblast growth factor during development of experimental lung fibrosis (1997)

Fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix accumulation are crucial in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-1 participates in both processes, but its role in lung fibrogenesis has not been evaluated. We analyzed the expression of FGF-1 and of FGF receptor (FGFR) in a model of lung fibrosis induced in rats with paraquat plus hyperoxia. Experimental and control animals were killed at 48 h and 2, 4, and 8 wk, and the lungs were studied by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and Northern blot. In normal lungs, scattered macrophages contained FGF-1. In contrast, at all times examined, the injured lungs exhibited FGF-1 transcript and the immunoreactive protein, mainly in alveolar epithelial cells and macrophages. In advanced fibrotic lesions, fibroblasts also appeared stained. Northern blot corroborated the upregulation of FGF-1 mRNA. FGFR was not observed in normal lungs, whereas it was strongly increased in the damaged lungs and was virtually immunolocalized in the same cell types as the corresponding ligand. These findings suggest that FGF-1 and FGFR are actively synthesized during the development of pulmonary fibrosis.
Elevated Cytosolic Na <sup>+</sup> Decreases Mitochondrial Ca <sup>2+</sup> Uptake During Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Impairs Energetic Adaptation in Cardiac Myocytes (2006)

Mitochondrial Ca2+ ([Ca2+]m) regulates oxidative phosphorylation and thus contributes to energy supply and demand matching in cardiac myocytes. Mitochondria take up Ca2+ via the Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) and extrude it through the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (mNCE). It is controversial whether mitochondria take up Ca2+ rapidly, on a beat-to-beat basis, or slowly, by temporally integrating cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]c) transients. Furthermore, although mitochondrial Ca2+ efflux is governed by mNCE, it is unknown whether elevated intracellular Na+ ([Na+]i) affects mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and bioenergetics. To monitor [Ca2+]m, mitochondria of guinea pig cardiac myocytes were loaded with rhod-2-acetoxymethyl ester (rhod-2 AM), and [Ca2+]c was monitored with indo-1 after dialyzing rhod-2 out of the cytoplasm. [Ca2+]c transients, elicited by voltage-clamp depolarizations, were accompanied by fast [Ca2+]m transients, whose amplitude (delta) correlated linearly with delta[Ca2+]c. Under beta-adrenergic stimulation, [Ca2+]m decay was approximately 2.5-fold slower than that of [Ca2+]c, leading to diastolic accumulation of [Ca2+]m when amplitude or frequency of delta[Ca2+]c increased. The MCU blocker Ru360 reduced delta[Ca2+]m and increased delta[Ca2+]c, whereas the mNCE inhibitor CGP-37157 potentiated diastolic [Ca2+]m accumulation. Elevating [Na+]i from 5 to 15 mmol/L accelerated mitochondrial Ca2+ decay, thus decreasing systolic and diastolic [Ca2+]m. In response to gradual or abrupt changes of workload, reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) levels were maintained at 5 mmol/L [Na+]i, but at 15 mmol/L, the NADH pool was partially oxidized. The results indicate that (1) mitochondria take up Ca2+ rapidly and contribute to fast buffering during a [Ca2+]c transient; and (2) elevated [Na+]i impairs mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, with consequent effects on energy supply and demand matching. The latter effect may have implications for cardiac diseases with elevated [Na+]i.
Policy-based Access Control for Task Computing Using Rei (2005)

In this paper, we describe a policy-based access control implementation for Task Computing using the Rei policy engine. Task Computing lets ordinary end-users accomplish complex tasks on the fly from an open, dynamic, and distributed "universe of network-accessible resources" in ubiquitous computing environments as well as those on the Internet. The Rei policy specification language is an expressive and extensible language based on Semantic Web technologies. The Rei policy engine reasons over Rei policies in OWL and domain knowledge to answer queries about the current permissions and obligations of an entity. To provide unobtrusive and flexible access control for Task Computing, a framework was created in which several Rei policy engines were endowed with Web Services APIs to dynamically process facts from clients, the private policies of service providers, shared policies, and common shared ontologies. The framework is implemented and deployed for Fujitsu Laboratories of America (FLA), College Park office and evaluated. Categories and Subject Descriptors.

Selective Surface Patterning for the Coadsorption of Self-Assembled Gold and Semiconductor Nanoparticles (2008)

The predetermined patterned adsorption of two types of nanoparticles on the same substrate may be of considerable importance in various applications, among others, to enhance the absorption of semiconductor nanoparticles by the plasmonic effect of metal NPs. We describe here a simple method for self-assembling 2D lateral patterns in which both gold and semiconductor nanoparticles are adsorbed, each in a predesigned area. Our method is based on a one-step lithographic process and the adsorption of two distinct self-assembled monolayers that can selectively bind only one type of nanoparticle.
Extracting baseline patterns in Internet traffic using Robust Principal Components (2011)

Robust BaseLine (RBL) is a formal technique for extracting the baseline of network traffic to capture the underlying traffic trend. A range of applications such as anomaly detection and load balancing rely on baseline estimation. Once the fundamental period of the pattern for analysis is recognized, e.g., based on user interest or a period detector such as Autocorrelation Function (ACF), the basic extraction is carried out in two steps. First, the common component across the dataset is separated using Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA). The fundamental pattern in the common component is extracted using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in the second step. Scaling factors required to fit the base-pattern back into the data are returned automatically by PCA. Two types of traffic baselines may be extracted: RBL-L captures the common behavior across time on a single link, and RBL-N captures the common behavior across a network of links, i.e., in space. RBL-N is particularly useful for specifying traffic matrices more efficiently over time, which normally requires multiple updates to follow baseline trends. The derived base-patterns for a single link or a single time period is then extended over the entire network or thru the entire observation period with a compressive analysis. The compressed base-pattern provides a smoother baseline and also a filter to separate baseline traffic and the deviations on the fly from traffic measurements. When compared against BLGBA (Baseline for Automatic Backbone Management) the proposed scheme provides a less noisy, more precisely fitting baseline. It is also more effective in revealing anomalies.

The 3% efficient device is composed of ZnO nanocrystals and 1.3 eV PbS quantum dots with gold as the top contact. This configuration yields a stable device, retaining 95% of the starting efficiency after a 1000-hour light soak in air without encapsulation.
Vaccination of mice against experimental <i>Neospora caninum</i> infection using NcSAG1- and NcSRS2-based recombinant antigens and DNA vaccines (2003)

NcSAG1 and NcSRS2, the two major immunodominant tachyzoite surface antigens of the apicomplexan parasite Neospora caninum, were investigated for their potential as vaccine candidates in mice. Recombinant recNcSRS2 and recNcSAG1 were expressed in Escherichia coli as poly-histidine-tagged fusion proteins. Separate groups of mice were immunized with purified recNcSAG1, recNcSRS2, or a combination of both, and were then challenged with N. caninum tachyzoites. Subsequent experiments included intramuscular vaccination of mice with the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 containing either NcSRS2 or NcSAG1 cDNA inserts, followed by a single booster with the corresponding recombinant antigens. Immunization with a crude somatic antigen (NC1-extract) was included in the experiments. Following challenge, the presence of the parasite in the different organs was assessed by a N. caninum-specific PCR, while the parasite burden in infected brain tissue was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. Immunization of mice employing individual recombinant antigens, or combined recNcSAG1/recNcSRS2, resulted in a lower degree of protection against cerebral infection, when compared to combined DNA/recombinant antigen vaccination. Serological analysis showed that this protective effect was associated with the occurrence of antibodies directed against native parasite antigens in those animals receiving combined DNA/recombinant antigen vaccination. Conversely, mice immunized with recombinant antigens alone generated antibodies recognizing only the recombinant antigens. Mice experiencing clinical signs such as walking disorders, rounded back, apathy and paralysis were observed only in the untreated positive control groups, but never in the vaccinated groups. Our results suggest that a combined DNA/recombinant antigen-vaccine, based on NcSAG1 and NcSRS2, respectively, exhibited a highly significant protective effect against experimentally induced cerebral neosporosis in mice.
Imaging and biodistribution of Her2/neu expression in non‐small cell lung cancer xenografts with <sup>64</sup>Cu‐labeled trastuzumab PET (2010)

Non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) overexpress the Her2/neu gene in approximately 59% of cases. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody, interferes with Her2 signaling and is approved for the treatment of Her2/neu overexpressing breast cancer. However, its therapeutic use in Her2/neu overexpressing NSCLC remains obscure. The present study aimed to determine the role of (64)Cu-labeled trastuzumab positron emission tomography (PET) for non-invasive imaging of Her2/neu expression in NSCLC. Trastuzumab was conjugated with the bifunctional chelator 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and radiolabeled with (64)Cu. The molecular specificity of DOTA-trastuzumab was determined in NSCLC cell lines with Her2/neu overexpression (NCI-H2170) and negative expression (NCI-H520). Imaging of Her2/neu expression was performed in NCI-H2170 tumor-bearing mice with (64)Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET and (64)Cu-DOTA-IgG. In vitro studies revealed specific binding of DOTA-trastuzumab in the Her2/neu positive NCI-H2170 cells, while no binding was seen in the Her2/neu negative NCI-H520 cell line. Biodistribution and PET studies revealed a significantly high accumulation of (64)Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab in the Her2/neu overexpressing NCI-H2170 tumor at 24 and 48 h post-injection (21.4 +/- 1.4% and 23.2 +/- 5.1% injection dose/gram (% ID/g), respectively). PET imaging of Her2/neu negative NCI-H520 tumors showed much less uptake of (64)Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab (4.0% ID/g). The NCI-H2170 tumor uptake of (64)Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab was significantly higher than that of (64)Cu-DOTA-IgG (P < 0.0001). (64)Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab showed a very clear image of a Her2/neu positive tumor and appeared to be effective as a PET tracer for imaging of Her2/neu gene expression in NSCLC, suggesting its potential clinical use for identifying patients that might benefit from trastuzumab-based therapy.
Wireless client/server computing for personal information services and applications (1995)

We are witnessing a profound change in the global information infrastructure that has the potential to fundamentally impact many facets of our life. An important aspect of the evolving infrastructure is the seamless, ubiquitous wireless connectivity which engenders continuous interactions between people and interconnected computers. A challenging area of future ubiquitous wireless computing is the area of providing mobile users with integrated Personal Information Services and Applications (PISA). In this paper, a wireless client/server computing architecture will be discussed for the delivery of PISA. Data management issues such as transactional services and cache consistency will be examined under this architecture.
Silicon photonic grating-assisted, contra-directional couplers (2013)

We demonstrate, in both theory and experiment, 4-port, electrically tunable photonic filters using silicon contra-directional couplers (contra-DCs) with uniform and phase-shifted waveguide Bragg gratings. Numerical analysis, including both intra- and inter-waveguide couplings, is performed using coupled-mode theory and the transfer-matrix method. The contra-DC devices were fabricated by a CMOS-photonics manufacturing foundry and are electrically tunable using free-carrier injection. A 4-port, grating-based photonic resonator has been obtained using the phase-shifted contra-DC, showing a resonant peak with a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.2 nm and an extinction ratio of 24 dB. These contra-DC devices enable on-chip integration of Bragg-grating-defined functions without using circulators and have great potential for applications such as wavelength-division multiplexing networks and optical signal processing.
