Dissolved oxygen control in wastewater treatment process based on growing neural network (2009)

A kind of dissolved oxygen(DO) control method based on growing neural network(GNN) was proposed due to the wastewater treatment process is nonlinear, strong coupling, great legging and so on. This controller can control the change of object character and adjust the structure of neural network automatically. Based on the growing conditions, the neural network can increase the hidden layer nodes to improve the ability of the controller. The results show that the proposed method is more effective on the overshoot, the adjusting time and the self-adoptive ability.
Of the applied assessments reported, none could be classed as an assessment of children's social behaviour (except the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (2012)

6in which the optional Social-Emotional and Adaptive Behavior Questionnaires might have been included). Are opportunities to assess behavioural problems being overlooked? Although assessment for behavioural disorder (ie, attention-defi cit hyperactivity disorder) is problematic in the early years, a change in approach that focuses on assessment of a group of impairing child symptoms in the early years could be clinically useful. 7 Application of the concept of ESSENCE (Early Symptomatic Syndromes Eliciting Neurodevelopmental Clinical Examination) would obviate the application of terms such as behaviour disorder or problem in a review of this type, and would acknowledge the probable association between the outcome of early assessments in specifi c domains and their relation with later diffi culties in other overlapping domains. It will not be possible to answer questions about the relation between neonatal and perinatal insults and neurodevelopmental outcomes unless cohorts are followed-up well into later childhood, and preferably adult, years. There is also a need to ensure that the right things are measured—if researchers do not ask, they and the community of clinicians and patients will never know. In our review, 1
Novel application of multi dynamic trend analysis as a sensitive tool for detecting the effects of aging and congestive heart failure on heart rate variability (2016)

The complex fluctuations in heart rate variability (HRV) reflect cardiac autonomic modulation and are an indicator of congestive heart failure (CHF). This paper proposes a novel nonlinear approach to HRV investigation, the multi dynamic trend analysis (MDTA) method, based on the empirical mode decomposition algorithm of the Hilbert-Huang transform combined with a variable-sized sliding-window method. Electrocardiographic signal data obtained from the PhysioNet database were used. These data were from subjects with CHF (mean age = 59.4 ± 8.4), an age-matched elderly healthy control group (59.3 ± 10.6), and a healthy young group (30.3 ± 4.8); the HRVs of these subjects were processed using the MDTA method, time domain analysis, and frequency domain analysis. Among all HRV parameters, the MDTA absolute value slope (MDTS) and MDTA deviation (MDTD) exhibited the greatest area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics in distinguishing between the CHF group and the healthy controls (AUC = 1.000) and between the healthy elderly subject group and the young subject group (AUC = 0.834 ± 0.067 for MDTS; 0.837 ± 0.066 for MDTD). The CHF subjects presented with lower MDTA indices than those of the healthy elderly subject group. Furthermore, the healthy elderly subjects exhibited lower MDTA indices than those of the young controls. The MDTA method can adaptively and automatically identify the intrinsic fluctuation on variable temporal and spatial scales when investigating complex fluctuations in the cardiac autonomic regulation effects of aging and CHF.
A Strategy for Coexisting With Zebra Mussels (1998)

This article discusses the strategy that the Cleveland Division of Water (CWD) used to solve its zebra mussel problem in the early 1990s. CWD decided to allow them to exist but prevent them from accumulating in overwhelming quantities. CWD dealt with the mussels at three locations: the head of the intakes; the shore shafts; and, the screen wells. The options that CWD used are discussed along with chemical treatment for zebra mussels and its disadvantages. CWD continuously monitors their intakes' hydraulic health to trend the amount of infestation, and divers annually inspect submerged cribs and water‐blast the mussels off the trash racks if the infestation is severe. CWD has operated without interruption and with few additional expenses since their strategy was started.
An asterism generator for Keck all-sky precision adaptive optics (2022)

As part of the Keck All-sky Precision Adaptive optics (KAPA) project a laser Asterism Generator (AG) is being implemented on the Keck I telescope. The AG provides four Laser Guide Stars (LGS) to the Keck Adaptive Optics (AO) system by splitting a single 22W laser beam into four beams of equal intensity. We present the design and implementation of the AG for KAPA. We discuss the optical design and layout, the details of the mechanical design and fabrication, and the challenges of designing the assembly to fit into the limited available space on the Keck telescope.

A CABAC Encoding Core with Dynamic Pipeline for H.264/AVC Main Profile (2006)

This paper presents an encoder core architecture for context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) in H.264/AVC main profile. The throughput of CABAC encoder is usually limited due to i) bit-wise processing, ii) complicated data dependency, and iii) variant iteration times for each binary symbol. This paper adopts dynamic pipeline scheme to improve the performance of CABAC encoder. The characteristics of CABAC algorithm are utilized to reduce pipeline latency. Meanwhile, pipeline bypass scheme is applied to eliminate the possible memory conflict. Proposed encoder core is implemented under ROHM 0.35mum technology. Results show that the equivalent gate counts is 4.57k when the maximum frequency is 150MHz. It is estimated that the proposed CABAC encoding core can process the input binary symbol at a bit-rate of 80Mb/s
A case study of metrics for assessing STEM scholarship programs (2011)

As the challenges in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education become more prominent, resources for promoting STEM education are more available. STEM scholarship programs, such as the S-STEM program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), can be an important tool for computing educators to meet the challenges of recruiting, retaining and preparing more computing undergraduates. These scholarship programs usually require a rigorous assessment plan in the proposals for evaluating program effectiveness. Although there is an abundance of literature on assessment metrics on student learning outcomes, especially those related to accreditation, similar papers on scholarship program assessment are lacking. This paper is intended to contribute toward filling this gap. Based on our experience on managing two consecutive NSF S-STEM grants over eight years, the paper proposes a simple set of criteria for designing good assessment metrics for scholarship programs: that they need to be essential, measurable, sensible and simple. The paper presents our evaluation plan and results of the evaluation that ascertained the program effectiveness. It discusses how the metrics are refined and evolved in light of the proposed criteria. It then elaborates on lessons learned and our future directions. The paper can thus be considered as a case study for computing educators interested in submitting scholarship proposals and managing scholarship programs.
Value of umbilical artery and vein levels of interleukin-6 and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 as predictors of neonatal hematologic indices and suspected early sepsis (1997)

This study was designed to evaluate the relationship of suspected early neonatal sepsis to umbilical artery and vein levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and soluble intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1). Umbilical artery and vein samples from 17 preterm and 6 term pregnancies were assayed for IL-6 (pg/ml) and sICAM-1 (ng/ml). Neonates were categorized as having probable or suspected sepsis vs. no sepsis within 3 days of birth. Levels of IL-6 and sICAM-1 were evaluated based on sepsis status. Neonatal hematologic parameters were correlated with umbilical artery (ua) and vein (uv) levels of IL-6 and sICAM-1. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for detecting neonates having probable or suspected early sepsis were calculated. There were significant differences of IL-6 levels between suspected sepsis and no sepsis infants in the umbilical artery (P < 0.002) and vein (P < 0.0001). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for detection of suspected early neonatal sepsis using umbilical artery IL-6 levels >7 pg/ml were 88.5%, 66.6%, 58.8%, 91%, and for umbilical vein levels >7 pg/ml these values were 88.5%, 93.3%, 88.5%, and 93.3%. Umbilical artery and vein IL-6 levels correlated with both absolute band counts and immature/total neutrophil ratios. sICAM-1 levels were not affected by designated sepsis status. Umbilical cord blood IL-6 (but not sICAM-1) is potentially useful as a marker for suspected early neonatal sepsis. J. Matern.–Fetal Med. 6:254–259, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Characterization of Serous Retinal Detachments in Uveitis Patients With Optical Coherence Tomography (2009)

Objectives To determine the prevalence of serous retinal detachments (SRD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a large database of patients with uveitis from a tertiary referral setting, to describe clinical features of patients with SRD, and to ascertain retinal architectural features found in association with SRD. Main outcome measures Prevalence of SRD in uveitis patients imaged with OCT, correlation of visual acuity with SRD, anatomic subtypes of uveitis identified, and association of SRD with various subtypes of macular edema (focal and diffuse) and retinal architectural abnormalities. Design Retrospective, single-setting cross-sectional study of all OCTs in a digital imaging base ordered on patients from a tertiary referral uveitis clinic between July 2006 and March 2008. Results SRD were identified in 17 of 111 uveitis patients (15 %) reviewed; bilateral SRD were found in 5 of 17 patients (29 %). Intermediate uveitis was the most common disease association (47 %), but other conditions identified included Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, multifocal choroiditis/panuveitis, and sarcoidosis. Retinal architectural features identified in association with SRD included focal macular edema (59 %), diffuse macular edema (50 %), any intraretinal edema (77 %), both diffuse and focal macular edema (32 %), and retinal pigment epithelial alteration (27 %). Moderate or severe visual impairment, defined as visual acuity 20/50 or poorer was seen in 71 % of patients with SRD. Poorer visual acuity was correlated with increased central subfield thickness in patients with SRD (r 2 00.41, p<0.001). Conclusion SRD were present in 15 % of the uveitis patients reviewed. Moderate to severe vision impairment was present in the majority of eyes (71 %) with SRD. Diffuse macular edema and focal cystoid macular edema were the OCT features most commonly associated with SRD. Intermediate and panuveitis were the most common anatomic sites of inflammation. A variety of pathogenic mechanisms, both inflammatory and non-inflammatory, may be involved in SRD in uveitis patients; identification of the precise mechanism is important for appropriate therapy.

An integrated microparticle sorting system based on near-field optical forces and a structural perturbation (2012)

We demonstrate an integrated microparticle passive sorting system based on the near-field optical forces exerted by a 3-dB optical splitter that consists of a slot waveguide and a conventional channel waveguide. We show that 320 nm and 2 µm polystyrene particles brought into the splitter are sorted so that they exit along the slot waveguide and channel waveguide, respectively. Electromagnetic simulations and precise position tracking experiments are carried out to investigate the sorting mechanism. As the waveguides are separated by 200 nm, they provide two potential wells for the smaller particles, but only one broad potential well for the larger particles, since their diameters exceed the distance between the two field maxima. A structural perturbation consisting of a stuck bead transfers the smaller particles to the second well associated with the slot waveguide, while the larger particles are brought to the region between the two waveguides and eventually follow the channel waveguide, as it is associated with a deeper potential well. This label-free passive particle sorting system requires low guided power (20 mW in these experiments), and provides a new technique for sorting sub-micron particles.

FORCE MEASUREMENTS BY STRAIN GAUGE SENSORS AS PART OF TIME-OF-FLIGHT FLOW RATE CONTROL (2014)

Contactless techniques are the most promising methods for liquid metal flow rate control and some of these methods are based on electromagnetic induction of breaking force acting on an electrically conductive fluid which is moving through a static magnetic field.Providing flow analysis in case of aggressive and hot liquids is a complicated task, especially when liquids composition and, hence, its physical properties, are unknown.One of the techniques is time-of-flight Lorentz force velocimetry (LFV).By using the method one can estimate volumetric flow rate without knowing of electrical conductivity, magnitude of magnetic field or characteristic dimension.The most important and crucial challenge within the technique is detection of small fluctuations of Lorentz force value.In this article we will focus on special aspects of application of highly sensitive strain gauge force sensors within the framework of time-of-flight LFV.
Vacuum arc plasma transport through a magnetic duct with a biased electrode at the outer wall (1999)

Metal plasma formed by a vacuum arc plasma source can be passed through a toroidal-section magnetic duct for the filtering of macroparticles from the plasma stream. In order to maximize the plasma transport efficiency of the filter the duct wall should be biased, typically to a positive voltage of about 10–20 V. In some cases it is not convenient to bias the duct, for example if the duct wall is part of the grounded vacuum system. However, a positively biased electrode inserted into the duct along its outer major circumference can serve a similar purpose. In this article, we describe our results confirming and quantifying this effect. We also show the parametric dependence of the duct transport on the experimental variables.

Feasibility of estimating vertical transverse isotropy from microseismic data recorded by surface monitoring arrays (2011)

ABSTRACT Microseismic data recorded by surface monitoring arrays can be used to estimate the effective anisotropy of the overburden and reservoir. In this study we used the inversion of picked P-wave arrival times to estimate the Thomsen parameter δ and the anellipticity coefficient η. This inversion employs an analytic equation of P-wave traveltimes as a function of offset in homogeneous, transversely isotropic media with a vertical axis of symmetry. We considered a star-like distribution of receivers and, for this geometry, we analyzed the sensitivity of the inversion method to picking noise and to uncertainties in the P-wave vertical velocity and source depth. Long offsets, as well as a high number of receivers per line, improve the estimation of δ and η from noisy arrival times. However, if we do not use the correct value of the P-wave vertical velocity or source depth, the long-offset may increase the inaccuracy in the estimation of the anisotropic parameters. Such inaccuracy cannot be detected from time residuals. We also applied this inversion to field data acquired during the hydraulic fracturing of a gas shale reservoir and compared the results with the anisotropic parameters estimated from synthetic arrival times computed for an isotropic layered medium. The effective anisotropy from the inversion of the field data cannot be explained by layering only and is partially due to the intrinsic anisotropy of the reservoir and/or overburden. This study emphasizes the importance of using accurate values of the vertical velocity and source depth in the P-wave arrival time inversion for estimating anisotropic parameters from passive seismic data.
Characterization of murine SIRT3 transcript variants and corresponding protein products (2010)

SIRT3 is one of the seven mammalian sirtuin homologs of the yeast SIR2 gene. SIRT3 possesses NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylase activity. Recent studies indicate that the murine SIRT3 gene expresses different transcript variants, resulting in three possible SIRT3 protein isoforms with various lengths at the N-terminus: M1 (aa 1-334), M2 (aa 15-334), and M3 (aa 78-334). The transcript variants 1 and 3 can only produce M3 protein, while M1 and M2 proteins are translationally initiated from different in-frame ATG sites in transcript 2. Here we report that three transcript variants of the mouse SIRT3 gene are broadly expressed in various mouse tissues. By expressing these SIRT3 isoforms in HEK293 cells through transient transfection, we confirmed recent reports that two longer murine SIRT3 proteins (M1 and M2) are targeted to mitochondria with higher efficiency than the shorter M3 isoform. Additionally, the M1 and M2 proteins are processed into a mature form. Using Edman degradation we identify Ile38 (majority) or Val42 as the N-terminal amino acid of the mature M1 isoform, and Met78 or Val79 as the N-terminal amino acid of the M3 isoform. Interestingly, we found that even upon mutation of the M2 ATG site in the M1 cDNA, a processed mature protein could still be produced. In terms of deacetylase activity, we found that although only the mature protein derived from M1 or M2 proteins were active against acetylated peptide substrates, all three forms had equal deacetylase activity towards a full-length native protein substrate, acetyl CoA synthetase 2.
