Multimodal Network Embedding via Attention based Multi-view Variational Autoencoder (2018)

Learning the embedding for social media data has attracted extensive research interests as well as boomed a lot of applications, such as classification and link prediction. In this paper, we examine the scenario of a multimodal network with nodes containing multimodal contents and connected by heterogeneous relationships, such as social images containing multimodal contents (e.g., visual content and text description), and linked with various forms (e.g., in the same album or with the same tag). However, given the multimodal network, simply learning the embedding from the network structure or a subset of content results in sub-optimal representation. In this paper, we propose a novel deep embedding method, i.e., Attention-based Multi-view Variational Auto-Encoder (AMVAE), to incorporate both the link information and the multimodal contents for more effective and efficient embedding. Specifically, we adopt LSTM with attention model to learn the correlation between different data modalities, such as the correlation between visual regions and the specific words, to obtain the semantic embedding of the multimodal contents. Then, the link information and the semantic embedding are considered as two correlated views. A multi-view correlation learning based Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) is proposed to learn the representation of each node, in which the embedding of link information and multimodal contents are integrated and mutually reinforced. Experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model in two applications, i.e., multi-label classification and link prediction.
Physical Analysis of a Biomimetic Microphone With a Central-Supported (C-S) Circular Diaphragm for Sound Source Localization (2011)

This paper presents a physical analysis of the biomimetic microphone designed with a central-supported (C-S) diaphragm for the sound source localization. A clover-stem-like C-S design is proposed and achieving 47% improvement of net diaphragm displacement in comparison with the conventional C-S diaphragm design. The new design can effectively not only compensate undesired deformation of sensing diaphragm due to gravity and residual stresses but also make the diaphragm more flexible for better sound pressure sensitivity.
Network Analysis of Intrinsic Functional Brain Connectivity in Alzheimer's Disease (2008)

Functional brain networks detected in task-free ("resting-state") functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have a small-world architecture that reflects a robust functional organization of the brain. Here, we examined whether this functional organization is disrupted in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Task-free fMRI data from 21 AD subjects and 18 age-matched controls were obtained. Wavelet analysis was applied to the fMRI data to compute frequency-dependent correlation matrices. Correlation matrices were thresholded to create 90-node undirected-graphs of functional brain networks. Small-world metrics (characteristic path length and clustering coefficient) were computed using graph analytical methods. In the low frequency interval 0.01 to 0.05 Hz, functional brain networks in controls showed small-world organization of brain activity, characterized by a high clustering coefficient and a low characteristic path length. In contrast, functional brain networks in AD showed loss of small-world properties, characterized by a significantly lower clustering coefficient (p<0.01), indicative of disrupted local connectivity. Clustering coefficients for the left and right hippocampus were significantly lower (p<0.01) in the AD group compared to the control group. Furthermore, the clustering coefficient distinguished AD participants from the controls with a sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 78%. Our study provides new evidence that there is disrupted organization of functional brain networks in AD. Small-world metrics can characterize the functional organization of the brain in AD, and our findings further suggest that these network measures may be useful as an imaging-based biomarker to distinguish AD from healthy aging.
The geometry of partial least squares (1997)

Our objective in this article is to clarify partial least squares (PLS) regression by illustrating the geometry of NIPALS and SIMPLS, two algorithms for carrying out PLS, in both object and variable space. We introduce the notion of the tangent rotation of a vector on an ellipsoid and show how it is intimately related to the power method of finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a symmetric matrix. We also show that the PLS estimate of the vector of coefficients in the linear model turns out to be an oblique projection of the ordinary least squares estimate. With two simple building blocks—tangent rotations and orthogonal and oblique projections—it becomes possible to visualize precisely how PLS functions. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Load-current-sharing control for parallel operation of DC-to-DC converters (2002)

The control strategy for parallel operation of multiple converters is investigated. Analysis and design considerations of load-current sharing for the parallel system are presented and the superiority of current-balance control is discussed. The prominent features of the load-current sharing and analytical results are confirmed experimentally for a three-paralleled forward-converter system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Voice transport on an ATM broadband network (2003)

Examines talker echo issues associated with transporting voice services over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. Several alternatives for carrying voice while controlling echo are identified: partially filled cells, adaptively filled cells, echo cancellers, composite cells, and aggregated voice. These alternatives are summarized in terms of voice cell utilization efficiency, the degree of added network complexity, and whether they require additional network functions which have not yet been identified for B-ISDN (broadband integrated services digital network).< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Deflectins, new antimicrobial azaphilones from Aspergillus deflectus. (1981)

Five structurally related, angular azaphilones, the deflectins, were isolated from the mycelia of Aspergillus deflectus. The structures of all compounds have been established. Besides the inhibitory effects on the growth of bacteria and fungi, these compounds showed lytic activity towards bacteria and erythrocytes and cytotoxic activity towards cells of the ascitic form of Ehrlich carcinoma of mice. The inhibitory effects of the deflectins could be reversed by the addition of serum or serum albumin.
Single-Stage Posterior Corpectomy and Expandable Cage Placement for Treatment of Thoracic or Lumbar Burst Fractures (2008)

This single-stage posterior approach for acute thoracic and lumbar burst fractures offers some advantages over the classic combined anterior-posterior approach. The results from this small series suggest that a single-stage posterior approach should be considered in select cases.
The developmentally regulated bZIP factor ROM1 modulates transcription from lectin and storage protein genes in bean embryos (1996)

Expression of the MAT genes DLEC2 and PHS beta, coding for phytohemagglutinin L-subunit and beta-phaseolin, respectively, is coordinately induced in bean embryos at the onset of seed maturation and regulated at the level of transcription. Previously, it was reported that expression of DLEC2 and PHS beta genes is positively regulated by the acidic transcription activator PvALF. This article describes the regulator of MAT1 (ROM1), a basic/leucine-zipper protein that binds to hybrid G box/C box motifs found on the DLEC2 and PHS beta seed enhancers. ROM1 repressed DLEC2- and PHS beta-driven expression and antagonized transactivation of either promoter by PvALF, in a dosage-dependent manner. By contrast, a PvALF/ROM1 hybrid protein activated transcription. Both repression by ROM1 and activation by the hybrid protein required the presence of intact G-box/C-box motifs. The abundance of ROM1 mRNA in embryos was highest during the cotyledon stage and decreased rapidly at the beginning of maturation, as phytohemagglutinin and phaseolin mRNAs were induced. The results demonstrate that ROM1 is a DNA-binding site-dependent repressor and point to its possible role as a negative modulator of PvALF-activated transcription of MAT genes.
Medical Image Encryption Based on Pixel Arrangement and Random Permutation for Transmission Security (2007)

This paper describes the result of our investigation on the utilization pixels arrangement and random permutation to encrypt medical image for transmission security. The objective of this scheme is to obtain a high speed computation process and high security. Among other algorithms such as transform method and traditional method, pixels arrangement and permutation provide simple and quick processes; it particularly does not need any mathematical manipulation. This feature is especially very useful for medical image where the image can be very big. We tested the algorithm using gray-scale images. The scheme shows a good randomness and quick computation process. We closed the paper by discussing the strength and limitation of this for practical for example in telemedicine.
Hsp108, a novel heat shock inducible protein of chicken (1986)

cDNA clones encoding a protein that copurifies with the progesterone receptor B subunit but does not bind progesterone have been described [Kulomaa, M. S., Weigel, N. L., Kleinsek, D. A., Beattie, W. G., Conneely, O. M., March, C., Zarucki-Schulz, T., Schrader, W. T., & O'Malley, B. W. (1986) Biochemistry (preceding paper in this issue)]. A full-length sequence for these clones was derived and was found to encode a protein that is structurally unrelated to the progesterone receptor but that contains significant homologies to the previously described heat shock proteins hsp90 of yeast and hsp83a of Drosophila melanogaster. In this paper it is shown that this protein is indeed a heat shock protein. Though the apparent molecular weight of the protein is 108,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, the molecular weight of the polypeptide backbone is 92,000. The steady-state level of gene transcripts as well as the level of protein is inducible by heat shock, but the gene is constitutively expressed in a number of tissues. A previously undescribed heat shock protein of molecular weight 78,000 in these preparations is also reported.
Spectroscopy of Single- and Double-Wall Carbon Nanotubes in Different Environments (2005)

Individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) were suspended in water for optical studies using sodium-cholate and other surfactants. We used time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to study the influence of tube chirality and diameter as well as of the environment on nonradiative decay in small diameter tubes. The studies provide evidence for PL from small diameter core tubes in DWNTs and for a correlation of nonradiative decay with tube diameter and exciton red shift as induced by interaction with the environment.
Inhibition of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Signaling by Expression of a Splice Variant of the Human Receptor (1997)

GnRH binds to a specific G protein-coupled receptor in the pituitary to regulate synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins. Using RT-PCR and human pituitary poly(A)+ RNA as a template, the full-length GnRH receptor (wild type) and a second truncated cDNA characterized by a 128-bp deletion between nucleotide positions 522 and 651 were cloned. The deletion causes a frame shift in the open reading frame, thus generating new coding sequence for further 75 amino acids. The truncated cDNA arises from alternative splicing by accepting a cryptic splicing acceptor site in exon 2. Distinct translation products of approximately 45-50 and 42 kDa were immunoprecipitated from COS-7 cells transfected with cDNA coding for wild type GnRH receptor and the truncated splice variant, respectively. Immunocytochemical and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay studies revealed a membranous expression pattern for both receptor isoforms. Expression of the splice variant, however, occurred at a significantly lower cell surface receptor density. In terms of ligand binding and phospholipase C activation, the wild type receptor showed characteristics of a typical GnRH receptor, whereas the splice variant was incapable of ligand binding and signal transduction. Coexpression of wild type and truncated proteins in transiently or stably transfected cells, however, resulted in impaired signaling via the wild type receptor by reducing maximal agonist-induced inositol phosphate accumulation. The inhibitory effect depended on the amount of splice variant cDNA cotransfected and was specific for the GnRH receptor because signaling via other G(q/11)-coupled receptors, such as the thromboxane A2, M5 muscarinic, and V1 vasopressin receptors, was not affected. Immunological studies revealed that coexpression of the wild type receptor and the truncated splice variant resulted in impaired insertion of the wild type receptor into the plasma membrane. Thus, expression of truncated receptor proteins may highlight a novel principle of specific functional inhibition of G protein-coupled receptors.
A Unified Example-Based and Lexicalist Approach to Machine Translation (1999)

Comment (1972)

THE reorganisation chickens have come home to roost with the recent white paper Report of the Working Party on Association Services (the Harrison report). Its seven pages are a result of ten meetings held by messrs Harrison (Westminster), Ashworth (London), Clough (Southampton), Corbett (Wandsworth), Foskett (London University) and Plaister (London and SE Library Region), which indicates a wide choice of membership for the wp below the Chelmsford‐Bristol line. After the clandestine manoeuvring in local authority reorganisation, the la has learnt the lesson; for the second chapter of the report hastens to record that ‘while the report will be the main report of the wp , we envisage the need for a second and concluding report in due course when we have received the views of branches and groups …’.
A generic digital switch interface (TR-303) for local access (2002)

The authors describe a generic digital interface for local access that is being implemented by the leading switch vendors in North America in their local switches. With the availability of this interface for local switches, remote terminal vendors will be able to connect their products that are also built according to the interface requirements to create a multivendor integrated digital loop carrier (IDLC) system. After presenting the key features of the interface, operations interfaces needed to support an IDLC system are outlined. Some possible implementations of the interface in remote digital terminals are discussed. This is followed by a review of the application synergy of the two kinds (DSI and SONET) of IDLC systems. Also covered are some applications of this interface as a platform to support new services and architectures, such as the integrated services digital network, fiber in the loop, etc.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
New Species of <i>Bordetella</i> , <i>Bordetella ansorpii</i> sp. nov., Isolated from the Purulent Exudate of an Epidermal Cyst (2005)

A gram-negative bacillus, SMC-8986(T), which was isolated from the purulent exudate of an epidermal cyst but could not be identified by a conventional microbiologic method, was characterized by a variety of phenotypic and genotypic analyses. Sequences of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that this bacterium belongs to the genus Bordetella but diverged distinctly from previously described Bordetella species. Analyses of cellular fatty acid composition and performance of biochemical tests confirmed that this bacterium is distinct from other Bordetella species. Furthermore, the results of comparative sequence analyses of two protein-coding genes (risA and ompA) also showed that this strain represents a new species within the genus Bordetella. Based on the evaluated phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, it is proposed that SMC-8986(T) should be classified as a new species, namely Bordetella ansorpii sp. nov.
Cytologic diagnosis and grading of ductal carcinoma in situ (1999)

The presence of pleomorphic carcinoma cells, calcium, necrosis, and macrophages in the aspirate accompanied by "casting" calcification on the mammogram is virtually diagnostic of high grade (comedo) DCIS. Cribriform DCIS shows features of low grade carcinoma with a typical cribriform pattern of punched-out holes in the cell clusters. Low/intermediate grade DCIS has no particular distinguishing features. Cancer (Cancer Cytopathol)
La reforma del proceso canónico de las causas de nulidad matrimonial: de las propuestas previas a la nueva regulación (2016)

Los motu proprio de 8 de septiembre de 2015 suponen una reforma a fondo del proceso de nulidad que reafirma el criterio de que la via judicial es la mas apta para la tramitacion de las causas de nulidad, y la necesidad de que el juez alcance la certeza moral en su decision. La certeza moral es necesaria para que el obispo diocesano, como cualquier juez competente en el proceso ordinario, pueda declarar la nulidad del matrimonio por el proceso abreviado (canon 1687 § 1). La reforma legislativa no basta para se cumplan los principios en los que se inspira (mayor celeridad en la tramitacion de las causas para el bien de las almas). Ha de ir acompanada del aumento del numero de jueces, de la mejor la preparacion y la dedicacion de los ya existentes. La evolucion del regimen juridico de las causas de nulidad en sede canonica y en sede civil tiende cada vez a posiciones mas distantes entre si. Tal vez en el futuro, sea necesario un replanteamiento a fondo de la relacion entre ambas jurisdicciones.
Synthesis of Symmetric Diester‐Functionalised Tröger's Base Analogues (2010)

Abstract The yields of ester‐functionalised Tröger's base analogues are dramatically improved by incorporating an electron‐donating group on the aromatic ring and/or enhancing solubility of the aniline unit. In addition to 2,8‐diester compounds, 1,7‐, 3,9‐ and 4,10‐diester‐functionalised Tröger's base analogues have been prepared for the first time.
Nonrigid motion correction in 3D using autofocusing withlocalized linear translations (2012)

MR scans are sensitive to motion effects due to the scan duration. To properly suppress artifacts from nonrigid body motion, complex models with elements such as translation, rotation, shear, and scaling have been incorporated into the reconstruction pipeline. However, these techniques are computationally intensive and difficult to implement for online reconstruction. On a sufficiently small spatial scale, the different types of motion can be well approximated as simple linear translations. This formulation allows for a practical autofocusing algorithm that locally minimizes a given motion metric--more specifically, the proposed localized gradient-entropy metric. To reduce the vast search space for an optimal solution, possible motion paths are limited to the motion measured from multichannel navigator data. The novel navigation strategy is based on the so-called "Butterfly" navigators, which are modifications of the spin-warp sequence that provides intrinsic translational motion information with negligible overhead. With a 32-channel abdominal coil, sufficient number of motion measurements were found to approximate possible linear motion paths for every image voxel. The correction scheme was applied to free-breathing abdominal patient studies. In these scans, a reduction in artifacts from complex, nonrigid motion was observed.
Controlled-Release Multiple-Units and Single-Unit Doses a Literature Review (1978)

The strong influence exerted by the greatly varying normal gastrointestinal functions on the therapeutic value of a controlled-release single-unit dose is elucidated by a review of the literature. In this setting, the multiple-units dose comprising hundreds of mini-depots presents a highly preferable alternative which is due to a greater predictability and reproducibility of its therapeutic effect as well as a lowered risk of side effects.

Radioactive Tracers Monitor Solvent Spreading in Rainbow Vertical Hydrocarbon Miscible Flood (1988)

Summary This paper describes the design, implementation, and results of a tracer project. Three different radioactive tracers (tritiated methane, ethane, and butane) were used to monitor the initial phase of solvent spreading. As a result, adjustments were made to the distribution of injected solvent, ensuring the placement of a stable solvent bank.
Oesophagectomy without thoracotomy: first 250 patients. (1996)

Transhiatal oesophagectomy is safe and well tolerated for the treatment of carcinoma of the oesophagus when done with care. Avoidance of thoracotomy, adequate longitudinal clearance, cervical anastomosis, and a short operating time are its main advantages.
