Choosing Relatives for DNA Identification of Missing Persons (2010)

DNA-based analysis is integral to missing person identification cases. When direct references are not available, indirect relative references can be used to identify missing persons by kinship analysis. Generally, more reference relatives render greater accuracy of identification. However, it is costly to type multiple references. Thus, at times, decisions may need to be made on which relatives to type. In this study, pedigrees for 37 common reference scenarios with 13 CODIS STRs were simulated to rank the information content of different combinations of relatives. The results confirm that first-order relatives (parents and fullsibs) are the most preferred relatives to identify missing persons; fullsibs are also informative. Less genetic dependence between references provides a higher on average likelihood ratio. Distant relatives may not be helpful solely by autosomal markers. But lineage-based Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers can increase the likelihood ratio or serve as filters to exclude putative relationships.

Exploring atomic defects in molybdenum disulphide monolayers (2015)

Defects usually play an important role in tailoring various properties of two-dimensional materials. Defects in two-dimensional monolayer molybdenum disulphide may be responsible for large variation of electric and optical properties. Here we present a comprehensive joint experiment-theory investigation of point defects in monolayer molybdenum disulphide prepared by mechanical exfoliation, physical and chemical vapour deposition. Defect species are systematically identified and their concentrations determined by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy, and also studied by ab-initio calculation. Defect density up to 3.5 × 10(13) cm(-2) is found and the dominant category of defects changes from sulphur vacancy in mechanical exfoliation and chemical vapour deposition samples to molybdenum antisite in physical vapour deposition samples. Influence of defects on electronic structure and charge-carrier mobility are predicted by calculation and observed by electric transport measurement. In light of these results, the growth of ultra-high-quality monolayer molybdenum disulphide appears a primary task for the community pursuing high-performance electronic devices.
Modified PEDOT-PSS Conducting Polymer as S/D Electrodes for Device Performance Enhancement of P3HT TFTs (2005)

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-Polystyrene Sulfonate (PEDOT-PSS) is the most widely used conducting polymer as electrode material in organic (polymer) devices. However, commercially available PEDOT-PSS in our experiment has a relatively low conductivity that reduces the device performance when it is used for electrode material. The purchased PEDOT-PSS has been mixed with polar solvent dimethyl sulfoxide, which increases its conductivity from 0.07 to 30 S/cm. The enhanced conductivity has long-term stability at room temperature and short-term stability at high temperature (100/spl deg/C) in air ambient. The modified PEDOT-PSS has been inkjet printed and used as source/drain (S/D) electrodes for poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Unmodified PEDOT-PSS and gold have also been used as S/D electrodes for comparison. The TFTs with modified PEDOT-PSS electrodes show significantly improved performance over the devices with unmodified PEDOT-PSS electrodes and are similar to the devices with gold electrodes. The difference in device performance mainly results from parasitic series resistance. In the devices with unmodified PEDOTT-PSS, high electrode series resistance has several effects on devices, e.g., restricted current growth at high negative gate voltage, reduced on/off current ratio and current output capability.
Demonstration of CORNET: A System For Learning Spreadsheet Formatting Rules By Example (2023)

Data management and analysis tasks are often carried out using spreadsheet software. A popular feature in most spreadsheet platforms is the ability to define data-dependent formatting rules. These rules can express actions such as "color red all entries in a column that are negative" or "bold all rows not containing error or failure." Unfortunately, users who want to exercise this functionality need to manually write these conditional formatting (CF) rules. We introduce CORNET, a system that automatically learns such conditional formatting rules from user examples. CORNET takes inspiration from inductive program synthesis and combines symbolic rule enumeration, based on semi-supervised clustering and iterative decision tree learning, with a neural ranker to produce accurate conditional formatting rules. In this demonstration, we show CORNET in action as a simple add-in to Microsoft Excel. After the user provides one or two formatted cells as examples, CORNET generates formatting rule suggestions for the user to apply to the spreadsheet.
Clinical significance of MET in gastric cancer (2015)

Chemotherapy has become the global standard treatment for patients with metastatic or unresectable gastric cancer (GC), although outcomes remain unfavorable. Many molecular-targeted therapies inhibiting signaling pathways of various tyrosine kinase receptors have been developed, and monoclonal antibodies targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 have become standard therapy for GC. Hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor, c-MET (MET), play key roles in tumor growth through activated signaling pathways from receptor in GC cells. Genomic amplification of MET leads to the aberrant activation found in GC tumors and is related to survival in patients with GC. This review discusses the clinical significance of MET in GC and examines MET as a potential therapeutic target in patients with GC. Preclinical studies in animal models have shown that MET antibodies or small-molecule MET inhibitors suppress tumor-cell proliferation and tumor progression in MET-amplified GC cells. These drugs are now being evaluated in clinical trials as treatments for metastatic or unresectable GC.
Information Behavior and Information Practice: Reviewing the “Umbrella Concepts” of Information‐Seeking Studies (2007)

Information behavior and information practice, two major concepts denoting the general ways in which people deal with information, are analyzed. Because of their general nature, they may be conceived of as umbrella concepts drawing on “umbrella discourses” with similar names. Information behavior is currently the dominating umbrella concept, while information practice stands as a critical alternative. The discourses above appear to be quite fragmentary, and researchers on information seeking rarely reflect on the discursive nature of the umbrella concepts. The discourse on information behavior primarily draws on the cognitive viewpoint, while information practice is mainly inspired by the ideas of social constructionism. The comparative study of the above concepts and discourses serves the needs to generate a self‐reflective attitude to familiar discursive formations, in particular among researchers of information seeking.
The Influence of Gait Stance and Vehicle Type on Pedestrian Kinematics and Injury Risk (2020)

Abstract Pedestrians are one of the most vulnerable road users. In 2018 the USA reported the highest number of pedestrian fatalities number in nearly three decades. Government safety agencies and car manufacturers have started paying greater attention towards pedestrian protection. The pre-impact conditions of Car-to-Pedestrian Collisions (CPC) varies significantly in terms of the characteristics of vehicles (e.g. front-end geometry, stiffness, etc.) and pedestrians (e.g. anthropometry, posture, etc.). The influence of vehicle type and pedestrian gait has not been analyzed. The purpose of this study was to numerically investigate the changes in pedestrian kinematics and injuries across various gait postures and two different car types. Five finite element (FE) human body models, representing 50th percentile male in gait cycle, were developed and used to perform CPC simulations with two generic vehicle FE models representing a family car (FCR), and a sport utility vehicle (SUV). In the impacts with the high-profile vehicle (SUV), the pedestrian models usually slide above the bonnet leading edge and report shorter wrap around distances (WAD) than in low-profile vehicle (FCR) impacts. The pedestrian postures influenced the post-impact rotation of the pedestrian and consequently, the impacted head region. The pedestrian posture also influenced the risk of injuries in the lower extremities. Higher risk of bone fractures was observed in the stance phase posture compared to the swing phase. The findings of this study should be taken into consideration when examining pedestrian protection protocols. In addition, the results of this study can be used to improve the design of active safety systems used to protect pedestrians in collisions.
CodedStereo: Learned Phase Masks for Large Depth-of-field Stereo (2021)

Conventional stereo suffers from a fundamental trade-off between imaging volume and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) – due to the conflicting impact of aperture size on both these variables. Inspired by the extended depth of field cameras, we propose a novel end-to-end learning-based technique to overcome this limitation, by introducing a phase mask at the aperture plane of the cameras in a stereo imaging system. The phase mask creates a depth-dependent yet numerically invertible point spread function, allowing us to recover sharp image texture and stereo correspondence over a significantly extended depth of field (EDOF) than conventional stereo. The phase mask pattern, the EDOF image reconstruction, and the stereo disparity estimation are all trained together using an end-to-end learned deep neural network. We perform theoretical analysis and characterization of the proposed approach and show a 6× increase in volume that can be imaged in simulation. We also build an experimental prototype and validate the approach using real-world results acquired using this prototype system.
Analysis of mouse β-haptoglobin chain by lectin affinoblotting detection (2001)

Two different human mammary carcinoma cell lines were xenotransplanted into nude mice. Serum samples were obtained prior to and after transplantation and investigated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). By comparison of these silver-stained patterns additional protein spots were detected resulting either from proteins secreted or shed by the tumor itself or from mouse proteins induced by the tumor or the transplantation procedure. One group of spots detectable in post-transplantation serum as well as in control serum after mock-transplantation but not in pretransplantation serum was microsequenced and identified as mouse beta-haptoglobin. The carbohydrate structures of beta-haptoglobin were characterized by two different immunochemical glycoprotein staining procedures to detect differential terminal glycan modifications.

Die Performance von öffentlichen Unternehmen am Beispiel von Wohnungsunternehmen in Deutschland (2009)

Die Privatisierung Ã¶ffentlichen Wohnungseigentums hat in den letzten Jahren durch das Engagement internationaler Finanzinvestoren eine besondere Dynamik entwickelt. Die Privatisierung vollzieht sich bisher ohne eine Bewertung der LeistungsfÃ¤higkeit der Ã¶ffentlichen Wohnungsunternehmen, da auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene vergleichbare empirische Untersuchungen zur Performance Ã¶ffentlicher und privater Wohnungsunternehmen fehlen. Anhand eines umfangreichen Datensatzes untersucht Mathias Hain Performanceunterschiede zwischen Ã¶ffentlichen und privaten Wohnungsunternehmen in Deutschland. Mit Hilfe einer univariaten und multivariaten Analyse zeigt er, dass Ã¶ffentliche Wohnungsunternehmen im Hinblick auf ProfitabilitÃ¤t und ProduktivitÃ¤t Performancenachteile gegenÃ¼ber privaten Wohnungsunternehmen aufweisen. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit geben Handlungsempfehlungen zur Performancesteigerung von Wohnungsunternehmen fÃ¼r ein wertorientiertes Immobilienmanagement.

A Scalable and Low Power DCNN for Multimodal Data Classification (2018)

This paper presents SensorNet which is a scalable and low power embedded Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN), designed to classify multimodal time series signals. Time series signals generated by different sensor modalities with different sampling rates are first converted to images (2-D signals) and then DCNN is utilized to automatically learn shared features in the images and perform the classification. SensorNet is scalable with respect to different types of multi-channel time series data, and does not require expert knowledge for extracting features for each sensor data. Additionally, it can achieve very high detection accuracy for different case studies, and has a very efficient architecture which makes it suitable to be employed at IoT and wearable devices. A custom low power hardware architecture is also designed for the efficient deployment of SensorNet at embedded real-time systems. SensorNet performance is evaluated using three different case studies including Physical Activity Monitoring, stand-alone Tongue Drive System (sdTDS) and Stress Detection and it achieves an average detection accuracy of 98%, 96.2% and 94% for each case study, respectively. We implement SensorNet using our custom hardware architecture on Xilinx FPGA (Artix-7) which on average consumes 0.3 mJ energy per classification while meeting all applications time requirements. To further reduce the power consumption, SensorNet is implemented using ASIC at the post layout level in 65-nm CMOS technology which consumes approximately 8$\times$ lower power compared to the FPGA.
Generalization of distance to higher dimensional objects (2008)

The measurement of distance between two objects is generalized to the case where the objects are no longer points but are one-dimensional. Additional concepts such as non-extensibility, curvature constraints, and non-crossing become central to the notion of distance. Analytical and numerical results are given for some specific examples, and applications to biopolymers are discussed.
Novel Strategies for Anterior Segment Ocular Drug Delivery (2012)

Research advancements in pharmaceutical sciences have led to the development of new strategies in drug delivery to anterior segment. Designing a new delivery system that can efficiently target the diseased anterior ocular tissue, generate high drug levels, and maintain prolonged and effective concentrations with no or minimal side effects is the major focus of current research. Drug delivery by traditional method of administration via topical dosing is impeded by ocular static and dynamic barriers. Various products have been introduced into the market that prolong drug retention in the precorneal pocket and to improve bioavailability. However, there is a need of a delivery system that can provide controlled release to treat chronic ocular diseases with a reduced dosing frequency without causing any visual disturbances. This review provides an overview of anterior ocular barriers along with strategies to overcome these ocular barriers and deliver therapeutic agents to the affected anterior ocular tissue with a special emphasis on nanotechnology-based drug delivery approaches.
Build your own google glass [Resources_Hands On] (2012)

Last April, Google announced Project Glass. Its goal is to build a wearable computer that records your perspective of the world and unobtrusively delivers information to you through a head-up display. With Glass, not only might I share fleeting moments with the people I love, I'd eventually be able to search my external visual memory to find my misplaced car keys. Sadly, there is no release date yet. A developer edition is planned for early this year at the disagreeable price of US $1500, for what is probably going to be an unfinished product. The final version isn't due until 2014 at the earliest [see "Google Gets in Your Face," in this issue].
Injuries and Overuse Syndromes in Golf (2003)

Background Although golf is becoming more popular, there is a lack of reliable epidemiologic data on golf injuries and overuse syndromes, especially regarding their severity. Objective To perform an epidemiologic study of the variety of different musculoskeletal problems in professional and amateur golfers and to find associations of age, sex, physical stature (body mass index), warm-up routine, and playing level with the occurrence of reported injuries. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods We analyzed the injury data from a total of 703 golfers who were randomly selected over two golfing seasons and interviewed with the use of a six-page questionnaire. Results Overall, 82.6% (N = 526) of reported injuries involved overuse and 17.4% (N = 111) were single trauma events. Professional golfers were injured more often, typically in the back, wrist, and shoulder. Amateurs reported many elbow, back, and shoulder injuries. Severity of reported injuries was minor in 51.5%, moderate in 26.8%, and major in 21.7% of cases. Carrying one's bag proved to be hazardous to the lower back, shoulder, and ankle. Warm-up routines were found to have a positive effect if they were at least 10 minutes long. Conclusions Overall, golf may be considered a rather benign activity, if overuse can be avoided. If not, golf can result in serious, chronic musculoskeletal problems.
<title>Simulation of the undulated sea surface and study of its optical properties by the Monte Carlo method</title> (1999)

A numerical model of the wind-driven undulation of the sea surface is constructed in this paper. This model was used for studying optical properties of the sea surface by the Monte Carlo method. It is shown that simulation of the field of the sea surface elevations makes it possible to more precisely determine the optical properties of the swell with allowance for multiple reflection effects and radiation shading by surface elements.
Comparative study of the influence of active groups of chitosan derivatives on antifungal activity (2012)

Abstract In this study, series of chitosan derivatives containing active groups were synthesized and evaluated for their antifungal activity against three crop‐threatening fungi, Fusarium oxysporum. f. sp. Vasinfectum, Alternaria solani , and Valsa mali . Schiff bases of carboxymethyl chitosan (As: 2‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐nitrobenzylideneamino)‐6‐carboxymethyl chitosan; Bs: 2‐(2‐hydroxyl‐5‐chlorobenzaldimino)‐6‐carboxymethyl chitosan), N ‐substituted carboxymethyl chitosan (An: 2‐(2‐hydroxyl‐5‐nitrobenzylamino)‐6‐carboxymethyl chitosan; Bn: 2‐(2‐hydroxyl‐5‐chlorobenzylamino)‐6‐carboxymethyl chitosan) and 2‐urea‐carboxymethyl chitosan (Au: 2‐(2‐nitrophenylurea)‐6‐carboxymethyl chitosan; Bu: 2‐(2‐chlorophenylurea)‐6‐carboxymethyl chitosan) were synthesized, and their antifungal activity was comparatively studied by hypha measurement in vitro , respectively. Results obtained from this study revealed that the active groups combined with Schiff bases functional groups (CN) could strengthen the antifungal activity most effectively among the compounds studied in this work. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Al-Yad: A Wearable Sensor Network over DDS Middleware for Industrial Application (2015)

Recently, it is estimated that in the coming five years, 700 million wearable devices for all kinds of applications will be sold worldwide. They owe their fame to their ease of accessibility, which in turn ensures productivity. Meanwhile, the need for increase in productivity in industries is at its highest. Many companies are looking for tools to increase the productivity of their employees. One of the main tools welcomed by the industries is handheld devices. This includes tablets, PDAs and mobile phones. However, these tools are not designed for applications that require marathon use — for applications such as machinery maintenance and inventory, require more subtle tools. This paper presents a proposed intelligent glove named Al-Yad. Al-yad is designed to control actuators in an industrial environment.
Structure of the human voltage-dependent anion channel (2008)

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), also known as mitochondrial porin, is the most abundant protein in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). VDAC is the channel known to guide the metabolic flux across the MOM and plays a key role in mitochondrially induced apoptosis. Here, we present the 3D structure of human VDAC1, which was solved conjointly by NMR spectroscopy and x-ray crystallography. Human VDAC1 (hVDAC1) adopts a beta-barrel architecture composed of 19 beta-strands with an alpha-helix located horizontally midway within the pore. Bioinformatic analysis indicates that this channel architecture is common to all VDAC proteins and is adopted by the general import pore TOM40 of mammals, which is also located in the MOM.
