Parallel rendering with k-way replication (2001)

With the recent advances in commodity graphics hardware performance, PC clusters have become an attractive alternative to traditional high-end graphics workstations. The main challenge is to develop parallel rendering algorithms that work well within the memory constraints and communication limitations of a networked cluster. Previous systems have required the entire 3D scene to be replicated in memory on every PC. While this approach can take advantage of view-dependent load balancing algorithms and thus largely avoid the problems of inter-process communication, it limits the scalability of the system to the memory capacity of a single PC. We present a k-way replication approach in which each 3D primitive of a large scene is replicated on k out of n PCs (k/spl Lt/n). The key idea is to support 3D models larger than the memory capacity of any single PC, while retaining the reduced communication overheads of dynamic view-dependent partitioning. In this paper, we investigate algorithms for distributing copies of primitives among PCs and for dynamic load balancing under the constraints of partial replication. Our main result is that the parallel rendering efficiencies achieved with small replication factors are similar to the ones measured with full replication. By storing one-fourth of Michelangelo's David model (800 MB) on each of 24 PCs (each with 256 MB of memory), our system is able to render 40 million polygons/second (65 % efficiency).
A Novel 3-Phenylethynyl-2-yl-oxy Quinoxaline Core Skeleton and Pharmacophore Model as a Hypoxia-inducible Factor Inhibitor (2010)

using the bioisostere concept based on benzene ring-fused, bicyclic HIF-1α inhibitors, we designed scaffolds that combine the pyridine moiety found in the 3-phenylethynyl-2-yl-oxy quinoxaline ring system. 8 Herein, we report initial evidence showing that compounds with a 3-phenylethynyl-2-yl-oxy quinoxaline core skeleton are selective HIF-1α inhibitors, and therefore have potential to be anticancer agents. The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical properties of HIF-1α and identify new core skeleton inhibitors of HIF-1α. To identify such small-molecule inhibitors of HIF-1α, we screened 163 substituted quinoxaline

Empirical Mode Decomposition for Trivariate Signals (2009)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> An extension of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed in order to make it suitable for operation on trivariate signals. Estimation of local mean envelope of the input signal, a critical step in EMD, is performed by taking projections along multiple directions in three-dimensional spaces using the rotation property of quaternions. The proposed algorithm thus extracts rotating components embedded within the signal and performs accurate time-frequency analysis, via the Hilbert–Huang transform. Simulations on synthetic trivariate point processes and real-world three-dimensional signals support the analysis. </para>
Sombrero adiabatic quantum computation: A heuristic strategy for quantum adiabatic evolution (2008)

Adiabatic quantum computation (AQC) is a universal model for quantum computation which seeks to transform the initial ground state of a quantum system into a final ground state encoding the answer to a computational problem. AQC initial Hamiltonians conventionally have a uniform superposition as ground state. We diverge from this practice by introducing a simple form of heuristics: the ability to start the quantum evolution with a state which is a guess to the solution of the problem. With this goal in mind, we explain the viability of this approach and the needed modifications to the conventional AQC (CAQC) algorithm. By performing a numerical study on hard-to-satisfy 6 and 7 bit random instances of the satisfiability problem (3-SAT), we show how this heuristic approach is possible and we identify that the performance of the particular algorithm proposed is largely determined by the Hamming distance of the chosen initial guess state with respect to the solution. Besides the possibility of introducing educated guesses as initial states, the new strategy allows for the possibility of restarting a failed adiabatic process from the measured excited state as opposed to restarting from the full superposition of states as in CAQC. The outcome of the measurement can be used as a more refined guess state to restart the adiabatic evolution. This concatenated restart process is another heuristic that the CAQC strategy cannot capture.
Manifold Regularized Gaussian Mixture Model for Semi-supervised Clustering (2013)

Over the last few decades, Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) has attracted considerable interest in data mining and pattern recognition. GMM can be used to cluster a bunch of data through estimating the parameters of multiple Gaussian components using Expectation-Maximization (EM). Recently, Locally Consistent GMM (LCGMM) has been proposed to improve the clustering performance of GMM by exploiting the local manifold structure modeled by a p nearest neighbor graph. In practice, various prior knowledge may be available which can be used to guide the clustering process and improve the performance. In this paper, we introduce a semi-supervised method, called Semi-supervised LCGMM (Semi-LCGMM), where prior knowledge is provided in the form of class labels of partial data. Semi-LCGMM incorporates prior knowledge into the maximum likelihood function of LCGMM and is solved by EM. It is worth noting that in our algorithm each class has multiple Gaussian components while in the unsupervised settings each class only has one Gaussian component. Experimental results on several datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.
Redundant object and dependency of domain attributes in α-coverings of the universe (2002)

/spl alpha/-coverings of the universe induced by a conditional probability relation offers a generalization model of standard rough sets which are mainly defined by a partition induced by an equivalence relation. The paper improves the concept of /spl alpha/-coverings of the universe by some properties and applications related to knowledge discovery and data mining (KDD). A concept of /spl alpha/-redundancy of objects based on /spl alpha/-coverings of the universe is proposed in order to reduce the number of decision rules in the presence of a decision table. Moreover, an important concept of dependency of domain attributes corresponding to the concept of fuzzy functional dependency in the presence of a fuzzy relational database is also introduced.
The Role of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan in Advancing of Clinical Pharmacy Research (2019)

Since the start of the 6-year program in pharmacy education, outcome-based education has progressed, and students' experience of onsite pharmacy practice has increased their awareness of their roles as pharmacists. This progress has been confirmed by student reports submitted at the end of onsite practice. In addition, the results of undergraduate students' graduation research as well as those of clinical research carried out in graduate schools are presented at the annual meetings of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan (PSJ) and its local branches. Research activity is also promoted by the various divisions of the PSJ that represent a wide range of pharmacy-related fields, including the Division of Clinical Pharmaceutical Sciences. In this way, the PSJ effectively connects researchers in basic and clinical fields, promoting the development of both translational research and reverse-translational research based on needs and ideas brought from the clinic to the basic sciences. Following their presentation at academic meetings, clinical research outcomes are often published in academic journals, including in the three academic journals published by the PSJ: Yakugaku Zasshi, Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, and Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin. Yakugaku Zasshi accepts submissions of case studies, case reports, and survey reports related to clinical pharmacy, which can be submitted in either English or Japanese. As the foundational society for pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences in Japan, the PSJ is committed to continuing advances in basic and clinical pharmacy research. In the last part of this review, I discuss graduate schools of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.
USE OF PULSED NMR SPECTROSCOPY TO MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF SOLID IN WAXY CRUDES (1998)

La cristallisation des paraffines dans les ptroles bruts et mme dans les gaz  condensat est un problme majeur dans le domaine de lOexploitation ptrolire. Afin dOvaluer ce risque, on utilise des modles thermodynamiques. Ils permettent de calculer la temprature de cristallisation commenante (TCC) ou Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) ainsi que la fraction cristallise en fonction de la temprature (pour des tempratures infrieures  la TCC). Lors de leur dveloppement, ces modles doivent tre valus sur des donnes exprimentales. Il existe dans la littrature et chez les ptroliers diffrentes mthodes pour mesurer la TCC, malheureusement il nOen est pas de mme pour la fraction cristallise en fonction de la temprature. Dans cet article, nous avons dvelopp une mthode de RMN basse rsolution afin de mesurer la fraction cristallise en fonction de la temprature. Elle a dOabord t value sur des mlanges de corps purs puis elle a t applique  des ptroles bruts. Les rsultats ont t compars  ceux obtenus par analyse calorimtrique diffrentielle ainsi quOaux rsultats du modle.
Enron Corporation (2014)

In this extended abstract we use a new type of network, which we call the mention network, for the task of dominance prediction of employees of the Enron corporation given their emails. We show that the network formed using "who mentions whom to whom" links out-performs the traditionally used Enron email network. We present a comprehensive set of experiments to conclude that organizational dominance is best predicted by capturing the number of people mentioned to a person.
Doped Hafnium Oxide – An Enabler for Ferroelectric Field Effect Transistors (2014)

Ferroelectrics are very interesting materials for nonvolatile data storage due to the fact that they deliver very low power programming operation combined with nonvolatile retention. For 60 years researchers have been inspired by these fascinating possibilities and have tried to build ferroelectric memory devices that can compete with mainstream technologies in their respective time. The progress of the current concepts is limited by the low compatibility of ferroelectrics like PZT with CMOS processing. Therefore, PZT or SBT based 1T1C ferroelectric memories are not scaling below 130 nm and 1T ferroelectric FETs based on the same materials are still struggling with low retention and very thick memory stacks. Hafnium oxide, a standard material in sub 45 nm CMOS, can show ferroelectric hysteresis with promising characteristics. By adding a few percent of silicon and annealing the films in a mechanically confined manner. Boescke et al. demonstrated ferroelectric hysteresis in hafnium oxide for the first time. Recently, a large number of dopants including Y, Al, Gd and Sr have been used to induce ferroelectricity in HfO 2 . This paper reviews the current status of hafnium oxide based ferroelectrics, its application to field effect transistors and puts this approach into a wider context of earlier developments in the field.
DETERMINANTS ON THE UTILIZATION OF INSTITUTIONAL DELIVERY IN RURAL AREAS OF MYAING TOWNSHIP, MAGWAY REGION, MYANMAR (2020)

Background: Institutional delivery is one of the most important interventions to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, especially in low and middle-income countries. Increased maternal and neonatal mortality has a huge impact on the health and socio-economic status of families and society. 
Aim: This study aimed to assess the utilization of institutional delivery among women of reproductive age in a rural area of Myanmar and explore its determinants. 
Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out among 286 women aged 15â€“49 years with delivery in the year prior to the survey in Myaing township, Central Myanmar region, 2017. 
Results: About two-thirds of the participants (60.1%, 95%CI: 55.6-65.9) utilized institutional delivery. Over three-quarters of the participants took antenatal (AN) care from a rural health centre and 73.8% from a midwife. In logistic regression analysis, adjusted for potential confounders, the odds of utilizing institutional delivery were four times for persons who took AN care with skilled birth attendants (OR 4.23; 95%CI 1.37, 13.10), over three times for those with low parity (OR 3.61; 95%CI 2.02, 6.46), and 1.83 times in those who could access labour room service easily (OR 1.83; 95%CI 1.10, 3.04) and in those living near to a health centre (OR 1.77; 95%CI 1.13, 2.98). 
Conclusion: Even though the proportion of institutional delivery was higher than in other studies, health facility delivery still needs to be promoted to cover all childbirths. Taking AN care with skilled birth attendants should be made a priority to promote the utilization of institutional delivery.

An Industrial Application of Model Checking to a Vessel Control System (2011)

Model checking allows an abstracted finite state model of a system to be developed and a set of mathematically defined correctness properties, based on the design specifications, to be defined. The model checker performs an exhaustive state space search of the model, checking the correctness properties hold at each step. This paper describes how model checking has been applied to find and correct problems in the software design of a distributed vessel control system currently under development at a control systems specialist in New Zealand.
Toward a User-Centered Method for Studying CVEs for Learning (2005)

This chapter addresses one of the challenges the collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) research community faces which is the lack of a systematic approach to study social interaction in CVEs, determine requirements for CVE systems design, and inform the CVE systems design. It does this by presenting a method for studying multi-user systems in an educational context. The method has been developed as part of the Senet project, which is investigating the use of virtual actors in CVEs for learning. Groupware prototypes are studied in order to identify requirements and design factors for CVEs. The method adopts a rigorous approach for organizing experimental settings, collecting and analysing data, and informing CVE systems design. The analysis part of the method shares many of the Interaction Analysis foci and expands on it by providing a grid-based method of transforming rich qualitative data in a quantitative form. The outcome of this analysis is used for the derivation of design guidelines that can inform the construction of CVEs for learning. The method is described by a third phase of work in the Senet project.
Heterogenous Nucleation During β → α + β Transformation in Titanium Alloys (2016)

A fine, uniform and microtexture-free precipitate microstructure is difficult to achieve but highly desired for an optimal balance of mechanical properties. Depending on the parent phase grain size and texture and cooling rate, nucleation of second phase particles may occur predominantly inter- or intra-granularly. The former is most likely to lead to coarse and strongly textured precipitate microstructures while the latter is most likely to lead to fine and randomly textured precipitate microstructures. Recently ultra-fine precipitate microstructures have been achieved in Ti-alloys via intra-granular heterogeneous nucleation under the influence of pre-existing compositional and/or structural non-uniformities in the parent phase grains that could arise, for example, from precursory a) precipitation and spinodal decomposition of the β phase. In order to assess quantitatively the nucleation rates of inter-granular vs. intra-granular nucleation, activation energy and critical nucleus configuration of heterogeneous nucleation on arbitrary chemical and structural non-uniformities need to be determined. In this study, using heterogeneous nucleation of α precipitates at prior β grain boundaries (GBs) in titanium-alloys (Ti-alloys) as an example, we show how to determine the properties of a critical nucleus (including size, shape and activation energy) at GB as a function of GB energy, interfacial energy, relative orientation between the low-energy facet of the nucleus and the GB using a combination of the nudged elastic band method and multi-phase field method. With forces being balanced naturally at the triple phase junction line, and without any a priori assumptions about the shape of a critical nucleus and geometry of the grain boundary plane, the approach allows for removing many simplifying assumptions in previous approaches and show significantly different results. The findings may assist in quantitative assessment of conditions under which inter-granular nucleation dominates over intra-granular nucleation.
Quantitative imaging of intraerythrocytic hemozoin by transient absorption microscopy (2019)

Hemozoin, the heme detoxification end product in malaria parasites during their growth in the red blood cells (RBCs), serves as an important marker for diagnosis and treatment target of malaria disease. However, the current method for hemozoin-targeted drug screening mainly relies on <i>in vitro</i> β-hematin inhibition assays, which may lead to false-positive events due to under-representation of the real hemozoin crystal. Quantitative <i>in situ</i> imaging of hemozoin is highly desired for high-throughput screening of antimalarial drugs and for elucidating the mechanisms of antimalarial drugs. We present transient absorption (TA) imaging as a high-speed single-cell analysis platform with chemical selectivity to hemozoin. We first demonstrated that TA microscopy is able to identify β-hematin, the artificial form of hemozoin, from the RBCs. We further utilized time-resolved TA imaging to <i>in situ</i> discern hemozoin from malaria-infected RBCs with optimized imaging conditions. Finally, we quantitatively analyzed the hemozoin amount in RBCs at different infection stages by single-shot TA imaging. These results highlight the potential of TA imaging for efficient antimalarial drug screening and drug mechanism investigation.

Long‐term high‐vacuum maintenance in the sealed cryogenic cable envelope for superconducting telecommunication cables (1980)

Abstract To obtain the high performance of a cyrogenic cable envelope employing multilayer vacuum insulations, it is necessary to maintain the presence between layers under 10 −2 Pa. To investigate the possibility of long‐term high‐vacuum maintenance of a sealed cryogenic cable envelope containing adsorbents, we have cooled a 2‐m cryogenic envelope to a liquid nitrogen temperature and made a degassing analysis and degassing rate measurements. We found that the main degassing component was N 2 and the degassing rates were at 10 ‐2 to 10 ‐3 Pa. We have also cooled a coconut‐shell charcoal to the liquid nitrogen temperature and obtained the N 2 adsorption amounts. Based on the above results, we obtained the following conclusion. In a cryogenic cable envelope with an external diameter 70 mm in which Al is used as an outer pipe and the nitrogen shield pipes are stored inside, if we can realize the ultimate pressure below 10 ‐3 Pa, it is possible to have a durability life of over 20 years at a pressure below 10 ‐2 Pa by placing about 1 g of coconut‐shell charcoal per 1 m on the circumference of the liquid nitrogen shield pipe.
