DoubleFusion: Real-time Capture of Human Performances with Inner Body Shapes from a Single Depth Sensor (2018)

We propose DoubleFusion, a new real-time system that combines volumetric dynamic reconstruction with data-driven template fitting to simultaneously reconstruct detailed geometry, non-rigid motion and the inner human body shape from a single depth camera. One of the key contributions of this method is a double layer representation consisting of a complete parametric body shape inside, and a gradually fused outer surface layer. A pre-defined node graph on the body surface parameterizes the non-rigid deformations near the body, and a free-form dynamically changing graph parameterizes the outer surface layer far from the body, which allows more general reconstruction. We further propose a joint motion tracking method based on the double layer representation to enable robust and fast motion tracking performance. Moreover, the inner body shape is optimized online and forced to fit inside the outer surface layer. Overall, our method enables increasingly denoised, detailed and complete surface reconstructions, fast motion tracking performance and plausible inner body shape reconstruction in real-time. In particular, experiments show improved fast motion tracking and loop closure performance on more challenging scenarios.
Cleavage of aromatic carbon-carbon bonds. [Cleavage reactions with o-terphenyl] (1984)

The search for a model substrate to use in evaluating relative reactivity of H-donors, under coal liquefaction conditions has led to this study of o-terphenyl. Results of cleavage reaction studies with o-terphenyl show that o-terphenyl couples in the presence of model H-donors and many coal derived solvents to form triphenylene, and forms biphenyl by cleavage. The latter reaction is of more interest as the yields are substantial, and the yields have application to the study of properties of solvents. Attempts to elucidate the mechanism involved kinetic studies, and reaction with a deuterated H-donor. The best mechanism appears to be that in which the low steady-state concentration of reactive H-donor attacks either ipso position in o-terphenyl followed by cleavage. This mechanism is known to occur at high temperatures. 7 references, 3 tables.
BE (2006)

Many modern natural language-processing applications utilize search engines to locate large numbers of Web documents or to compute statistics over the Web corpus. Yet Web search engines are designed and optimized for simple human queries---they are not well suited to support such applications. As a result, these applications are forced to issue millions of successive queries resulting in unnecessary search engine load and in slow applications with limited scalability.

Results of percutaneous coronary interventions in patients ≥90 years of age (2007)

We conclude that clinically stable nonagenarian patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI have excellent PCI related prognosis while clinically unstable patients have a worse outcome. Thus, careful attention to background medical history and clinical presentation should dictate the prognosis and/or management among nonagenarian patients.

Fabrication of Silicon Pillar with 25 nm Half Pitch Using New Multiple Double Patterning Technique (2011)

For the higher-density cells of next-generation semiconductor memories, many recent studies have focused on the vertical cell structure technology, which includes various performance merits such as small cell size, high drivability, and suitability for cell-stacked-type arrays. The authors developed a new method to fabricate 25 nm half pitch dense Si pillars that would be applicable to the fabrication of vertical cell devices. Using the proposed multiple double patterning techniques, 23.6 nm diameter, 114 nm height Si cylindrical pillars with a half pitch of 25 nm were fabricated. We confirmed the uniformity in a 300 mm wafer at 30 points, and its 3σ was only 1.7 nm. Moreover, we examined the presence of pillar collapse at arbitrarily selected chip dies for confirmation. Surprisingly, there was no pillar collapse within any of the inspected areas. From these verifications, we conclude that our proposed fabrication technique for slim Si pillars is now available.

Modulation of Antibody-Mediated Immune Response by Probiotics in Chickens (2005)

Probiotic bacteria, including Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, have been shown to enhance antibody responses in mammals. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of a probiotic product containing the above bacteria in addition to Streptococcus faecalis on the induction of the chicken antibody response to various antigens, both systemically and in the gut. The birds received probiotics via oral gavage and subsequently were immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) to evaluate antibody responses in serum or with tetanus toxoid (TT) to measure the mucosal antibody response in gut contents. Control groups received phosphate-buffered saline. Overall, BSA and SRBC induced a detectable antibody response as early as week 1 postimmunization (p.i.), which lasted until week 3 p.i. Probiotic-treated birds had significantly (P <or= 0.001) more serum antibody (predominantly immunoglobulin M [IgM]) to SRBC than the birds that were not treated with probiotics. However, treatment with probiotics did not enhance the serum IgM and IgG antibody responses to BSA. Immunization with TT resulted in the presence of specific IgA and IgG antibody responses in the gut. Again, treatment with probiotics did not change the level or duration of the antibody response in the gut. In conclusion, probiotics enhance the systemic antibody response to some antigens in chickens, but it remains to be seen whether probiotics have an effect on the generation of the mucosal antibody response.
Optimization of resolution enhancement compression technique with plane wave imaging (2016)

High frame rate imaging became a world-wide use modality. It achieves by coherently coalescing the received radio frequency signal, as low-resolution image, after emitting plane waves. One common way to increase the image quality is to combine multiple low-resolution images, from different insonification angles, into a high-resolution image. However, this compounding technique significantly decrease the frame rate by a factor equal to the number of insonification. In this study, we proposed to increase the image quality in terms of resolution and contrast by using only one plane wave combine with a resolution enhancement compression technique. In comparison with conventional plane wave imaging, the results show a clear improvement of the axial resolution (31%), signal to noise ratio (13%) and contrast to noise ratio (101%). Moreover, an optimization, based on an experimental received signal from one scatterer as a deconvolution signal, is presented. This innovation allows increasing the contrast-to-noise ratio and signal-to-noise ratio of 159% and 29%, respectively in comparison with conventional plane wave imaging.
Effects of pinealectomy and of a bovine pineal extract in rats (1959)

Fifty-four 26-day-old female rats of the CD strain were divided into four groups of 10 or 11 each, i.e. 1) controls; 2) animals given 0.3 ml of a protein-free bovine pineal extract daily intraperitoneally for 28 days; 3) sham-operated animals; 4) pinealectomized animals. In a second experiment two groups of six each were divided into a) control animals given a diet restricted with respect to Na, K and phosphate, and b) animals on the same diet, given 1.0 ml/day of the pineal extract. Pinealectomy caused ovarian hypertrophy ( P &lt; .001), pituitary hypertrophy ( P &lt; .001), and adrenal hypertrophy ( P &lt; .05). The extract reversed these changes. Giving the extract to intact animals caused effects varying with the dose. The dose of 0.3 ml given daily caused gonadal atrophy ( P &lt; .05), pituitary atrophy ( P &lt; .001) and insignificant adrenal activity. The dose of 1.0 ml caused further gonadal atrophy ( P &lt; .001) and significant adrenal atrophy ( P &lt; .05).
Colony stimulating factor-induced differentiation of murine M1 myeloid leukemia cells is permissive in early G1 phase. (1986)

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) induces differentiation of M1 murine myeloid leukemia cells into mature granulocytes/macrophages and also causes accumulation of the cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. We examined, therefore, whether synchronization of M1 cells in the G1 phase could affect G-CSF-induced differentiation as quantitated by expression of Fc fragment receptors (FcR) and lysozyme activity. Cells were arrested in early G1 by density inhibition in the absence of serum and in late G1 by addition of aphidicolin. Cells synchronized in early G1, when stimulated with G-CSF, showed enhanced expression of FcR and lysozyme activity. Eighty percent of the cells expressed FcR 18 hr after addition of G-CSF while, in exponentially growing cells, this percentage was reached 72 hr after addition of G-CSF. Cells synchronized in late G1 did not show enhanced expression of differentiation markers. These results imply that with respect to G-CSF-induced differentiation, the G1 phase can be separated into an early permissive and a later nonpermissive stage.
9-cis-Retinoic Acid Capsules in the Treatment of AIDS-Related Kaposi Sarcoma (2003)

9-cis-retinoic acid capsules have moderate activity and provide durable responses, but substantial toxic effects at higher doses limit its suitability as an anti-KS therapy.
Assays for thyrotropin-receptor binding and thyroid-stimulating antibodies in sera from patients with Graves' disease. (1986)

We compared the activities of thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb) measured in cultures of human thyrocytes and the values for thyrotropin-receptor antibodies (TRAb) as measured with a commercial kit based on use of radiolabeled receptors. Sera were obtained from patients with Graves' disease before, during, and after therapy with carbimazole (1-methyl-2-thio-3-carbethoxyimidazole). We found a significant correlation between the measurements of these two antibodies in patients: before treatment (r = 0.74, p less than 0.01, n = 44), after three months of treatment (r = 0.76, p less than 0.01, n = 21), and during relapse after the drug was discontinued (r = 0.64, p less than 0.01, n = 19). In all three situations, our TSAb technique was more sensitive than the TRAb method. We conclude that, even though the TRAb technique is simpler and quicker, this commercial kit is too insensitive to replace measurement of TSAb in fresh human thyrocyte cultures for management of drug therapy of patients with Graves' disease.
Data from Effective gene-viral therapy of leukemia by a new fiber chimeric oncolytic adenovirus expressing TRAIL: <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> evaluation (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;Conditionally replicating adenoviruses (CRAd) have been under extensive investigations as anticancer agents. Previously, we found that ZD55, an adenovirus serotype 5-based CRAd, infected and killed the leukemia cells expressing coxsackie adenovirus receptor (CAR). However, majority of leukemic cells lack CAR expression on their cell surface, resulting in resistance to CRAd infection. In this study, we showed that SG235, a novel fiber chimeric CRAd that has Ad35 tropism, permitted CAR-independent cell entry, and this in turn produced selective cytopathic effects in a variety of human leukemic cells &lt;i&gt;in vitro&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;in vivo&lt;/i&gt;. Moreover, SG235 expressing exogenous tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (SG235-TRAIL) effectively induced apoptosis of leukemic cells via the activation of extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathway and elicited a superior antileukemia activity compared with SG235. In addition, normal hematopoietic progenitors were resistant to the inhibitory activity of SG235 and SG235-TRAIL. Our data suggest that these novel oncolytic agents may serve as useful tools for the treatment of leukemia. [Mol Cancer Ther 2009;8(5):1387–97]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Level spacing of random matrices in an external source (1998)

In an earlier work we considered a Gaussian ensemble of random matrices in the presence of a given external matrix source. The measure is no longer unitary invariant, and the usual techniques based on orthogonal polynomials, or on the Coulomb gas representation, are not available. Nevertheless the n-point correlation functions are still given in terms of the determinant of a kernel, known through an explicit integral representation. This kernel is no longer symmetric, however, and is not readily accessible to standard methods. In particular, finding the level spacing probability is always a delicate problem in Fredholm theory, and we have to reconsider the problem within our model. We find a class of universality for the level spacing distribution when the spectrum of the source is adjusted to produce a vanishing gap in the density of the state. The problem is solved through coupled nonlinear differential equations, which turn out to form a Hamiltonian system. As a result we find that the level spacing probability $p(s)$ behaves like $\mathrm{exp}[\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Cs}}^{8/3}]$ for large spacing s; this is consistent with the asymptotic behavior $\mathrm{exp}[\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Cs}}^{2\ensuremath{\beta}+2}],$ whenever the density of state behaves near the edge as $\ensuremath{\rho}(\ensuremath{\lambda})\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\lambda}}^{\ensuremath{\beta}}.$
New Method for Determining Mineralogy and Matrix Properties From Elemental Chemistry Measured by Gamma Ray Spectroscopy Logging Tools (2015)

Summary Methods for predicting mineralogy from logging-tool measurements have been an active area of research for several decades. In spite of these efforts, methods for predicting quantitative mineralogy including clay types from well-logging data were not fully achieved. The introduction of geochemical logging tools in the 1980s offered promise; however, early versions of geochemical logging tools did not measure elemental chemistry with enough accuracy and precision to enable reliable and quantitative determination of mineralogy. Recent advances in geochemical-logging-tool technology now enable accurate and robust measurements of the chemical elemental concentrations that are needed to determine continuous quantitative and detailed logs of mineralogy. This paper presents a novel approach for determining more accurate and more detailed mineralogy from an elemental spectroscopy logging tool. This work was made possible by three recent developments: the introduction of a new neutron-induced gamma ray spectroscopy logging tool, a new research database consisting of chemistry and mineralogy measured on cores acquired worldwide from conventional and unconventional reservoirs, and a new model-independent inversion method that overcomes the limitations of previous model-dependent methods. The model-independent inversion makes use of the database that includes clean sands, shaly sands, shales, carbonates, and complex mixed lithologies. The database contains laboratory measurements of dry-weight elemental chemistry and mineralogy measured by transmission Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The database is used to derive a model-independent mapping function that accurately represents the complex functional relationship between the elemental concentrations and the mineral concentrations. After the mapping function is determined from the database, one can use it to predict quantitative mineralogy from elemental concentrations derived from the logging-tool measurements. Unlike previous inversion methods, the model-independent mapping function does not have any adjustable parameters or require any user inputs such as mineral properties or endpoints. The mapping function is used to predict continuous logs of matrix densities plus concentrations of 14 minerals (i.e., illite, smectite, kaolinite, chlorite, quartz, calcite, dolomite, ankerite, plagioclase, orthoclase, mica, pyrite, siderite, and anhydrite) from eight dry-weight elemental concentrations derived from the logging tool. The new method was applied to well-log data acquired worldwide in numerous conventional and unconventional reservoirs with a wide variety of complex mineralogies. The predicted mineralogies and matrix densities are generally found to be consistent with core-derived mineralogies and matrix densities.
Probing local wind and temperature structure using infrasound from Volcan Villarrica (Chile) (2012)

We use the continuous and intense (∼10 7 W) infrasound produced by Volcan Villarrica (Chile) to invert for the local dynamic wind and temperature structure of the atmosphere. Infrasound arrays deployed in March 2011 at the summit (2826 m) and on the NNW flank (∼8 km distant at 825 m) were used to track infrasound propagation times and signal power. We model an atmosphere with vertically varying temperature and horizontal winds and use propagation times (ranging from 23 to 24 s) to invert for horizontal slowness (2.75–2.94 s/km) and average effective sound speeds (328–346 m/s) for NNW propagating infrasound. The corresponding ratio of recorded acoustic power at proximal versus distal arrays was also variable (ranging between 0.15 to 1.5 for the peak 0.33–1 Hz infrasound band). Through application of geometrical ray theory in a uniform gradient atmosphere, these ‘amplification factors’ are modeled by effective sound speed lapse rates ranging from −15 to +4 m/s per km. NNW‐projected wind speeds ranging from −20 m/s to +20 m/s at 2826 m and wind gradients ranging from −11 to +10 m/s per km are inferred from the difference between effective sound speed profiles and adiabatic sound speeds derived from local temperature observations. The sense of these winds is in general agreement with regional meteorological observations recorded with radiosondes. We suggest that infrasound probing can provide useful spatially averaged estimates of atmospheric wind structure that has application for both meteorological observation and volcanological plume dispersal modeling.
Magnetic vector model of spin-valves (1995)

A semi-analytical phenomenology is described for spin-valve behavior. The model requires minimization of the total energy density of a two-magnetic layer spin-valve over a range of externally applied magnetic fields. It is found that all of the usual switching characteristics can be modeled by this method in such a way as to facilitate determination of basic materials parameters such as exchange and anisotropy.
Identification of a truncated form of methionine sulfoxide reductase a expressed in mouse embryonic stem cells (2011)

One possibility for the existence of a truncated form of the MsrA transcripts could be that with a smaller protein size, yet retaining a GCWFG action site, this protein might have easier access to oxidize methionine residues on proteins than the longer form of the MsrA protein, thus having an evolutionary selection advantage. This research opens the door for further study on the role and function of the truncated MsrA embryonic mouse stem cells.
