Image synthesis from nonimaged laser-speckle patterns (1987)

We demonstrate that unspeckled images of coherently illuminated, diffuse objects can be formed from measurements of backscattered laser-speckle intensity. The theoretical basis for this imaging technique is outlined, and results of computer experiments that successfully construct images from digitally simulated laser-speckle measurements are presented.
Modified half rail differential logic for reduced internal logic swing (2002)

A modified version of half rail differential logic (HRDL) for reduced internal logic swing is proposed in this paper. The reduced internal voltage swing contributes to lower power consumption when the logic tree implements complex Boolean function. To illustrate the efficiency of the modified logic in power consumption, SPICE simulation results of various logic tree heights for XOR are shown.
Comparison of cutoff wavelength measurements by transmission and refraction for single-mode waveguides (1982)

Determination of a single-mode fiber's cutoff wavelength, characteristic of the fiber's index profile, is an important consideration required to avoid modal noise1 in many applications, including communication systems and sensors. Use of an effective cutoff wavelength, which is characteristic of a particular fiber length or condition of curvature, can be in error by hundreds of nanometers and lead to system design errors. After considerable research and experimentation, two types of experiment have evolved to measure the cutoff wavelength of the LP11 mode in a single-mode fiber: a near-field transmission experiment2 and a refracted power experiment.3

Chat with illustration (2012)

Traditional instant messaging service mainly transfers textual message, while the visual message is ignored to a great extent. In this paper, we propose a novel instant messaging scheme with visual aids named Chat with Illustration (CWI), which presents users visual messages associated with chat content automatically. When users start their chat, the system first identifies meaningful keywords from dialogue content and analyzes context relations. Then CWI explores keyword-based image search in a image database with cluster-based index. Finally, according to context relations, CWI assembles these images properly and presents an optimal visual message for each dialogue sentence. With the combination of textual and visual message, users could enjoy a more interesting and vivid communication experience. Especially for different native language speakers, CWI can help them cross language barrier to some degree. The in-depth user studies demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
Reminding the Incremental Language Model via Data-Free Self-Distillation (2021)

Incremental language learning with pseudo-data can alleviate catastrophic forgetting in neural networks. However, to obtain better performance, former methods have higher demands for pseudo-data of the previous tasks. The performance dramatically decreases when fewer pseudo-data are employed. In addition, the distribution of pseudo-data gradually deviates from the real data with the sequential learning of different tasks. The deviation will be greater with more tasks learned, which results in more serious catastrophic forgetting. To address these issues, we propose reminding incremental language model via data-free self-distillation (DFSD), which includes self-distillation based on the Earth Mover's Distance and hidden data augmentation. By estimating the knowledge distribution in all layers of GPT-2 and transforming it from teacher model to student model, the Self-distillation based on the Earth Mover's Distance can significantly reduce the demand for pseudo-data. Hidden data augmentation can greatly alleviate the catastrophic forgetting caused by deviations via modeling the generation of pseudo-data as a hidden data augmentation process, where each sample is a mixture of all trained task data. The experimental results demonstrate that our DFSD can exceed the previous state-of-the-art methods even if the maximum decrease in pseudo-data is 90%.
Robust Biomedical Event Extraction with Dual Decomposition and Minimal Domain Adaptation (2011)

We present a joint model for biomedical event extraction and apply it to four tracks of the BioNLP 2011 Shared Task. Our model de-composes into three sub-models that concern (a) event triggers and outgoing arguments, (b) event triggers and incoming arguments and (c) protein-protein bindings. For efficient de-coding we employ dual decomposition. Our results are very competitive: With minimal adaptation of our model we come in second for two of the tasks—right behind a version of the system presented here that includes pre-dictions of the Stanford event extractor as fea-tures. We also show that for the Infectious Diseases task using data from the Genia track is a very effective way to improve accuracy. 1

Pin (2005)

Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin . Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent , and efficient instrumentation. Instrumentation tools (called Pintools ) are written in C/C++ using Pin's rich API. Pin follows the model of ATOM, allowing the tool writer to analyze an application at the instruction level without the need for detailed knowledge of the underlying instruction set. The API is designed to be architecture independent whenever possible, making Pintools source compatible across different architectures. However, a Pintool can access architecture-specific details when necessary. Instrumentation with Pin is mostly transparent as the application and Pintool observe the application's original, uninstrumented behavior. Pin uses dynamic compilation to instrument executables while they are running. For efficiency, Pin uses several techniques, including inlining, register re-allocation, liveness analysis, and instruction scheduling to optimize instrumentation. This fully automated approach delivers significantly better instrumentation performance than similar tools. For example, Pin is 3.3x faster than Valgrind and 2x faster than DynamoRIO for basic-block counting. To illustrate Pin's versatility, we describe two Pintools in daily use to analyze production software. Pin is publicly available for Linux platforms on four architectures: IA32 (32-bit x86), EM64T (64-bit x86), Itanium®, and ARM. In the ten months since Pin 2 was released in July 2004, there have been over 3000 downloads from its website.
Inactivation of tomato WAT1 leads to reduced susceptibility to Clavibacter michiganensis through downregulation of bacterial virulence factors (2023)

Tomato bacterial canker caused by <i>Clavibacter michiganensis</i> (Cm) is considered to be one of the most destructive bacterial diseases of tomato. To date, no resistance to the pathogen has been identified. While several molecular studies have identified (<i>Cm</i>) bacterial factors involved in disease development, the plant genes and mechanisms associated with susceptibility of tomato to the bacterium remain largely unknown. Here, we show for the first time that tomato gene <i>SlWAT1</i> is a susceptibility gene to <i>Cm</i>. We inactivated the gene <i>SlWAT1</i> through RNAi and CRISPR/Cas9 to study changes in tomato susceptibility to <i>Cm</i>. Furthermore, we analysed the role of the gene in the molecular interaction with the pathogen. Our findings demonstrate that <i>SlWAT1</i> functions as an S gene to genetically diverse <i>Cm</i> strains. Inactivation of <i>SlWAT1</i> reduced free auxin contents and ethylene synthesis in tomato stems and suppressed the expression of specific bacterial virulence factors. However, CRISPR/Cas9 <i>slwat1</i> mutants exhibited severe growth defects. The observed reduced susceptibility is possibly a result of downregulation of bacterial virulence factors and reduced auxin contents in transgenic plants. This shows that inactivation of an S gene may affect the expression of bacterial virulence factors.

Outdiffusion of La and Al from amorphous LaAlO3 in direct contact with Si (001) (2005)

We have evaluated the thermal stability of Al2O3/LaAlO3/Si (001) stacks with atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and secondary ion mass spectrometry using a back side polishing approach. Crystallization of the amorphous LaAlO3 film was found to occur for rapid thermal anneals (RTA) above 935 °C for 20 s, in flowing N2. Penetration of Al and La into the underlying Si (001) is clearly observed for RTA at or above 950 °C for 20 s in flowing N2.
Extendable Switched-Capacitor Multilevel Inverter With Reduced Number of Components and Self-Balancing Capacitors (2020)

Multilevel inverters (MLIs) with self-balanced switched-capacitors (SC) have received wide recognition for increasing the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy and high-frequency power distribution systems. This article presents a new SC MLI structure using a reduced number of components. The proposed dual-source SC MLI can be extended in various ways to increase the voltage levels at the output. The SCs are self-balanced by using a suitable charging-discharging pattern, and thereby, voltage boosting is achieved. The operational analysis and features of the proposed 25-level MLI are delineated in detail. Comparative analysis with state-of-the-art MLIs in terms of the number of components, voltage stress, and cost factor demonstrate the merit of the proposed extendable SC MLIs. Extensive simulation of the proposed MLI structure is performed on the MATLAB/Simulink environment using both the low and high switching frequency control schemes. Furthermore, simulation results are validated experimentally by developing a prototype of the proposed MLI under load variations, frequency change condition, and variation in the modulation index.
What's New in Plastics Injection Molding Processes for Automotive Applications: An Update (1997)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">Over the last ten years, the plastics industry has been under pressure by many industries, such as automotive, to resolve issues from an application point of view, such as value engineering, part quality, and time to market.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Value engineering programs have been a major thrust for the last several years in many industries. These programs have taken the form of low cost materials, systems integration, part weight reduction, and lower fabrication costs.

Synthesis of glycosylated peptide templates containing 6′-O-phosphorylated mannose disaccharides and their binding to the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (1994)

The multiple-column peptide synthesis of eleven glycopeptides containing two 6′-O-phosphorylated mannose disaccharides linked either α(l → 2) or α(l → 6) is described. Binding-inhibition studies were performed on the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor, revealing glycopeptides containing two 6′-O-phosphorylated α(1 → 2)-linked mannose disaccharides to be potent inhibitors of the receptor binding to a phosphomannan core fragment.

Substantial improvements in the set-covering projection classifier CHIRP (composite hypercubes on iterated random projections) (2012)

In Wilkinson et al. [2011] we introduced a new set-covering random projection classifier that achieved average error lower than that of other classifiers in the Weka platform. This classifier was based on an L ∞ norm distance function and exploited an iterative sequence of three stages (projecting, binning, and covering) to deal with the curse of dimensionality, computational complexity, and nonlinear separability. We now present substantial changes that improve robustness and reduce training and testing time by almost an order of magnitude without jeopardizing CHIRP's outstanding error performance.
Antioxidant, Anti-Melanogenic and Anti-Wrinkle Effects ofPhellinus vaninii (2019)

In this study, the antioxidant, anti-xanthine oxidase, anti-melanogenic and anti-wrinkle effects of methanol (ME) and hot water (HE) extracts from the fruiting bodies of <i>Phellinus vaninii</i> were investigated. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl free radical scavenging activity of 2.0 mg/mL HE (95.38%) was comparable to that of butylated hydroxytoluene (96.97%), the reference standard. The hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of ME (98.19%) and HE (97.55%) were higher than that of butylated hydroxytoluene (92.66%) at 2.0 mg/mL. Neither ME nor HE was cytotoxic to murine melanoma B16-F10 cells at 25-750 µg/mL. Although the xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory effects of ME and HE were significantly lower than that of allopurinol, the values were higher than 84 percent. The <i>in vitro</i> tyrosinase inhibitory activities of ME and HE were comparable to kojic acid at 2.0 mg/mL. The cellular tyrosinase and melanin synthetic activities of ME and HE on B16-F10 melanoma cells at 500 µg/mL were higher than arbutin, indicating that the inhibitory effects of arbutin on the tyrosinase and melanin synthesis were higher than those of ME and HE. The collagenase inhibitory activity of HE was comparable to EGCG at 2.0 mg/mL, however, the elastase inhibitory activity of ME and HE was lower than EGCG at the concentration tested. The study results demonstrated that the fruiting bodies of <i>Ph</i>. <i>vaninii</i> possessed good antioxidant, anti-xanthine oxidase, cell-free anti-tyrosinase, cellular anti-tyrosinase, anti-collagenase, and moderate anti-elastase activities, which might be used for the development of novel anti-gout, skin-whitening, and skin anti-wrinkle agents.

Children Naturally Evading COVID-19—Why Children Differ from Adults (2022)

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread across the world, caused lockdowns, and has had serious economic and social consequences. COVID-19 manifests differently in children than adults, as children usually have a milder course of disease, mild symptoms if any, and lower fatality rates are recorded among children. SARS-CoV-2 transmission also seems to be different between children and adults. Many factors are proposed to explain the milder outcome in children, e.g., a more appropriate immune response (especially active innate response), trained immunity, a lack of immunosenescence, and the reduced prevalence of comorbidities. A better understanding of the differences in susceptibility and outcome in children compared with adults could lead to greater knowledge of risk factors for complicated COVID-19 cases and potential treatment targets. We highlight proposed reasons as to why children are less affected by COVID-19 than adults.
SH wave scattering from fractures using boundary element method with linear slip boundary condition (2011)

A boundary element method (BEM) combined with a linear slip boundary condition is proposed to calculate SH wave scattering from fractures. The linear slip boundary condition was proposed by Schoenberg (1980) to model elastic wave propagation through an imperfectly bonded interface, where the traction cross the interface is continuous and displacement is discontinuous. Here, we demonstrate how to simulate SH wave scattering from fractures by applying the BEM and this linear slip boundary. Comparisons between results obtained using our model with those obtained using a computationally expensive finite difference method (FDM) (Coates and Schoenberg, 1995; Kruger et al., 2005) are performed to show the validity and accuracy of our approach. An example of SH wave scattering from three curved, crossing fractures is also given. Although our discussion here is focused on the linear slip boundary condition, our approach can easily be adopted to various slip boundary conditions that specify the displacement discontinuity and traction relations depending on different physical models of fractures.
An Efficient Hash-Based Algorithm for Sequence Data Searching (1998)

In real life, data collected day by day often appear in sequences and this type of data is called sequence data. The technique of searching for similar patterns among sequence data is very important in many applications. We first point out that there are some deficiencies in the existing definitions of sequence similarity. We then introduce a definition of sequence similarity based on the shape of sequences. The definition is also extended to handle sequence matching with linear scaling in both amplitude and time dimensions. A fast sequence searching algorithm based on extendable hashing is also proposed. The algorithm can match linearly scaled sequences and guarantee that no qualified data subsequence is falsely rejected. Several experiments are performed on real data (stock price movement) and synthetic data to measure the performance of the algorithm in different aspects.
Covalent and three‐dimensional structure of the cyclodextrinase from Flavobacterium sp. no. 92 (2003)

Starting with oligopeptide sequences and using PCR, the gene of the cyclodextrinase from Flavobacterium sp. no. 92 was derived from the genomic DNA. The gene was sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli; the gene product was purified and crystallized. An X-ray diffraction analysis using seleno-methionines with multiwavelength anomalous diffraction techniques yielded the refined 3D structure at 2.1 A resolution. The enzyme hydrolyzes alpha(1,4)-glycosidic bonds of cyclodextrins and linear malto-oligosaccharides. It belongs to the glycosylhydrolase family no. 13 and has a chain fold similar to that of alpha-amylases, cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases, and other cyclodextrinases. In contrast with most family members but in agreement with other cyclodextrinases, the enzyme contains an additional characteristic N-terminal domain of about 100 residues. This domain participates in the formation of a putative D2-symmetric tetramer but not in cyclodextrin binding at the active center as observed with the other cyclodextrinases. Moreover, the domain is located at a position quite different from that of the other cyclodextrinases. Whether oligomerization facilitates the cyclodextrin deformation required for hydrolysis is discussed.
