Monitoring Cold Chain Logistics by Means of RFID (2010)

The use of RFID in cold chain monitoring provides new features that have the potential to be an economically viable. RFID and sensor technology is evolving rapidly and enabling greater capabilities at lower costs. The value of technology can be best realized when integrated with decision support systems. Also improving operations by providing early warning of equipment failure and a predictive maintenance tool, improving energy management, providing automatic record-keeping for regulatory compliance, eliminating personnel training costs or reducing insurance costs. Growers, shippers, processors, distributors and retailers that can establish the continuity of the cold chain have a powerful advantage in a highly competitive marketplace. The collaboration and synergy of sensing, processing, communication and actuation is the next step to exploit the potential of these technologies. Another important benefit of the systems is the visibility that it can give along the cold chain. This kind of systems can be used in a warehouse, container or vehicle for remotely monitoring and tracking environmental characteristics. Measurements obtained are consistent and provide valuable information on the conditions encountered during the life cycle of the products. It is possible to address, at regular time increments, what is happening with the product, whether it is temperature, humidity, acceleration, etc. Another advantage is providing effective support in legal situations as well as safety inspections. The suitability of this technology for monitoring refrigerated cold chain is clear. RFID has the potential to be a revolution although the adoption of RFID in the industry is at an early stage. However, this technology, as any other, has limitations that have been explained in this chapter. A lot of work remains to be done on overall approaches involving harmonization of standards, long term experimentation and hardware and software improvements. Sharing information is crucial for an effective cold chain but also privacy. To protect data of unjustified access there are methods in information technologies but in addition an agreement has to be found, that opens the possibility of a fast and detailed rebuild of the trace of a product along the chain, without giving sensitive information to the public or competitors.
Electrophysiologic abnormalities in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A consecutive analysis in 155 patients. (1989)

Electrophysiologic studies (EPS) were performed in 155 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Indications for EPS were cardiac arrest in 22 patients, syncope in 55 patients, presyncope in 37 patients, asymptomatic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in 24 patients, palpitations in 10 patients, and a strong family history of sudden cardiac death in seven patients. Thirty-five (23%) patients had significant resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Electrophysiologic abnormalities were present in 126 (81%) patients. A high prevalence of abnormal sinus-node function (66%) and His-Purkinje (HV) conduction (30%) was noted. The most commonly induced supraventricular arrhythmias were atrial reentrant tachycardia and atrial fibrillation (10% and 11% of patients, respectively). Accessory atrioventricular pathways were present in seven (5%) patients. Programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia in 22 (14%) patients and sustained ventricular arrhythmia in 66 (43%) patients. Sustained ventricular arrhythmia was polymorphic VT in 48 (73%) patients, monomorphic VT in 16 (24%) patients, and ventricular fibrillation in two (3%) patients. Induction was with two premature stimuli in 19 (29%) patients and three premature stimuli in 47 (71%) patients. Of 17 cardiac arrest survivors with sustained ventricular arrhythmia, 16 (94%) patients required three premature stimuli for arrhythmia induction. Sustained ventricular arrhythmia was induced at a right ventricular site in 51 (77%) patients and at a left ventricular site in 15 (23%) patients. Univariate analysis showed a significant (p less than 0.05) association between inducibility of sustained ventricular arrhythmia and VT on Holter in patients with a history of cardiac arrest or syncope but not in patients with presyncope or asymptomatic patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the following were significantly associated with inducibility of sustained ventricular arrhythmia: clinical presentation (cardiac arrest more than syncope more than presyncope more than asymptomatic patients, p = 0.0002; chronic or inducible atrial fibrillation, p = 0.002; and male gender, p = 0.04). In contrast, there was no clinical correlate of induced nonsustained VT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
Varicocele: Red Flag or Red Herring? (2009)

The debate concerning the relationship between varicocele and male infertility has been ongoing for several decades, and correction of varicocele for the treatment of male infertility remains controversial. Proponents of varicocele repair believe that there is an association between the two conditions and point to the many studies showing improvements in semen parameters and other markers of fertility after surgery as evidence of such a relationship. Opponents argue that the mere presence of dilated testicular veins does not necessarily imply that these lesions are the cause of a man's subfertility and that incontrovertible pregnancy outcome data after varicocele repair remains to be shown. To shed some light on this topic, we have reviewed the most current data concerning the impact of varicocele on male fertility and have analyzed the literature on the value of varicocele repair in the setting of male infertility. We have determined that whereas there is a definite association between varicocele and male infertility, a cause and effect relationship between varicocele and infertility has not been established conclusively. A critical review of the available pregnancy outcome data does support varicocelectomy as a viable option for infertile couples with a clinical varicocele.
Foreground modelling via Gaussian process regression: an application to HERA data (2020)

ABSTRACT The key challenge in the observation of the redshifted 21-cm signal from cosmic reionization is its separation from the much brighter foreground emission. Such separation relies on the different spectral properties of the two components, although, in real life, the foreground intrinsic spectrum is often corrupted by the instrumental response, inducing systematic effects that can further jeopardize the measurement of the 21-cm signal. In this paper, we use Gaussian Process Regression to model both foreground emission and instrumental systematics in ∼2 h of data from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array. We find that a simple co-variance model with three components matches the data well, giving a residual power spectrum with white noise properties. These consist of an ‘intrinsic’ and instrumentally corrupted component with a coherence scale of 20 and 2.4 MHz, respectively (dominating the line-of-sight power spectrum over scales k∥ ≤ 0.2 h cMpc−1) and a baseline-dependent periodic signal with a period of ∼1 MHz (dominating over k∥ ∼ 0.4–0.8 h cMpc−1), which should be distinguishable from the 21-cm Epoch of Reionization signal whose typical coherence scale is ∼0.8 MHz.

The UK small business research community and its publication channels: perceptions and ratings (2001)

Research and dissemination of the results has always been an important activity for those in the academic community. The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) has brought the whole area of research publication and dissemination into sharp relief, and striving for high research rankings seems, for some, to have become an end in itself. Some argue that the RAE has restricted the wider dissemination of research as academics focus on refereed journal articles to the detriment of other forms of output, eg professional articles, consultancy, books and practitioner conferences. The RAE has intensified interest in the purpose and process of publication in most discipline areas and has created considerable controversy regarding the status of different publication channels. The small business research area is no exception. This research provides a profile of the UK small business research community, it explores their perceptions regarding research and establishes the esteem that various publication channels are held. Defining precisely what constitutes the area of small business research is problematic. Indeed, providing a specific boundary would create a false precision, small business research overlaps with areas such as entrepreneurship and innovation, and it also draws upon a range of disciplines. Nevertheless, relative limits were placed on this research by the nature of the people who were asked to express their opinion and the questions they were asked. The attitudes were sought through a survey of active UK researchers (97 per cent of respondents had published in the area, 81 per cent were academics, 7 per cent were policy makers and 4 per cent business practitioners) listed on the Institute of Small Business Affairs/Small Business Research Trust database. The title and nature of these organisations suggests that those listed at least identify with the notion of small business research as an area. In addition, the questionnaire emphasised small business research throughout, and no mention was made of entrepreneurship, innovation or associated areas. Ninety-eight questionnaires were returned, representing a 47 per cent response rate. The community was found to be more stable and mature than expected, but small business researchers held other research areas in greater esteem and most regarded themselves as empiricists rather than theorists. The implications of these results are explored for the next RAE and for the future of small business research.

Leveraging Local Patch Differences in Multi-Object Scenes for Generative Adversarial Attacks (2023)

State-of-the-art generative model-based attacks against image classifiers overwhelmingly focus on single-object(i.e., single dominant object) images. Different from such settings, we tackle a more practical problem of generating adversarial perturbations using multi-object (i.e., multiple dominant objects) images as they are representative of most real-world scenes. Our goal is to design an attack strategy that can learn from such natural scenes by leveraging the local patch differences that occur inherently in such images (e.g. difference between the local patch on the object ‘person’ and the object ‘bike’ in a traffic scene). Our key idea is to misclassify an adversarial multi-object image by confusing the victim classifier for each local patch in the image. Based on this, we propose a novel generative attack (called Local Patch Difference or LPD-Attack) where a novel contrastive loss function uses the aforesaid local differences in feature space of multi-object scenes to optimize the perturbation generator. Through various experiments across diverse victim convolutional neural networks, we show that our approach outperforms baseline generative attacks with highly transferable perturbations when evaluated under different white-box and black-box settings.

U (super 6+) minerals and inorganic phases; a comparison and hierarchy of crystal structures (1996)

AssrRAcr A hierarchical structural classification is developed for Utu minerals and inorganic phases, based on the polymerization of coordination polyhedra of higher bond-valence. The Utu cation is usually present as part of the approximately linear (UfiOr2+ uranyl (Ur) ion, which is coordinated by four, five or six anions (Q: O2-,OH-,H2O), with the oxygen atoms of the uranyl ion forming the apices of square, pentagonal and hexagonal bipyramids, respectively. The uranyl ion bond-lengths are -1.8 A in each coordination polyhedron, and the equatorial bondlengths for U4+ U$s and Ur$6 polyhedra are 2.26(8), 2.34(10) nd 2.46(12) A, respectivd. Inorganic oxide phases in which UG plays a significant sffuctural role are considered. A total of one hundred and eighty structures (of which fifty-six are of minerals) have been placed in the hierarchy of structures: one hundred and six (fony-three minerals) contain infinite sheets of polyhedra, nineteen (five minerals) contain eight different infinite chains of polyhedra, rwenty-two (five minerals) contain ten different finite clusters of polyhedra, seven (no minerals) contain isolated polyhedr4 and twenty-six (three minerals) structures contain frameworks of polyhedra. The sheets of polyhedra that occur in one hundred and six structures are classified according to the details of their topological arrangements of anions within the sheets, with twenty-nine ffierent sheet anion-topologies observed, but six of these topologies account for 827o of observed sheets.
Subglottic Video-airway Imaging (1998)

Video-transmission of the view from the tracheal tube tip using the visualized endotracheal tube (VETT) or a video-optical intubation stylet is a new method to assist tracheal intubation. Subglottic airway anomalies are rare but they can cause serious problems associated with tracheal intubation. We describe a patient with unknown tracheal bronchus scheduled diagnostic laparoscopy. The tracheal bronchus was detected during conventional tracheal intubation by the monitor view transmitted from the tip of the video-optical intubation stylet. Recognition of this anomaly already during the intubation procedure allowed to place the endotracheal tube safely above the tracheal bronchus and to prevent respiratory adverse events such as hypoxemia, atelectasis and barotrauma. Subglottic video-airway imaging is a beneficial method to detect airway anomalies and to confirm proper tracheal tube position during conventional tracheal intubation and may improve patient safety.
Prediction of drug-induced nephrotoxicity and injury mechanisms with human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cells and machine learning methods (2015)

The renal proximal tubule is a main target for drug-induced toxicity. The prediction of proximal tubular toxicity during drug development remains difficult. Any in vitro methods based on induced pluripotent stem cell-derived renal cells had not been developed, so far. Here, we developed a rapid 1-step protocol for the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) into proximal tubular-like cells. These proximal tubular-like cells had a purity of >90% after 8 days of differentiation and could be directly applied for compound screening. The nephrotoxicity prediction performance of the cells was determined by evaluating their responses to 30 compounds. The results were automatically determined using a machine learning algorithm called random forest. In this way, proximal tubular toxicity in humans could be predicted with 99.8% training accuracy and 87.0% test accuracy. Further, we studied the underlying mechanisms of injury and drug-induced cellular pathways in these hiPSC-derived renal cells, and the results were in agreement with human and animal data. Our methods will enable the development of personalized or disease-specific hiPSC-based renal in vitro models for compound screening and nephrotoxicity prediction.
Capacity determination of a battery energy storage system based on the control performance of load leveling and voltage control (2016)

This paper proposes a method to determine the combined energy (kWh) and power (kW) capacity of a battery energy storage system and power conditioning system capacity (kVA) based on load leveling and voltage control performances. Through power flow calculations, a relationship between the capacity combination and the control performance is identified and evaluated. A tradeoff relationship between the capacity combination and control performance is confirmed, and the proper capacity combination for operation is determined based on the evaluated relationship. In addition, the control performance of the capacity combination is evaluated through the power flow calculation, confirming that the proposed method is effective for determining the optimized capacity combination.
Assessing Risk and Adverse Events (2018)

This chapter provides an overview of safety assessment in clinical trials, including challenges for designing and reporting studies measuring safety. Adverse events are undesirable, unfavorable, harmful, and unexpected effects resulting from a normal dosage of drug, medication, therapy, or any other intervention such as surgery. Monitoring of adverse events is critical to the patient’s safety (i.e., human subject’s protection) and data integrity in clinical trials. Moreover, this chapter reviews the regulatory aspects related to adverse events in clinical trials. Finally it presents a case discussion in which an unexpected adverse effect is detected and investigators need to determine whether this event is or is not related to the intervention and define a plan of action.
1457 Years of Microsurgical Experience (1997)

Microsurgery is a relatively new field of surgery involving various methods and practices that are currently evolving. Our goal was to register the current practices employed by the members of the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery. A survey was mailed to the 319 members of the society, resulting in a response rate of 33 percent (106 of 319). The data reflect the combined experience of 10,839 free-tissue transfers and 3487 digital and upper and lower extremity replants over a 4-year period between 1990 and 1994. Practices employed, such as pharmacologic adjuvant therapy, monitoring techniques, flap types, and success rates reported by the members of the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, were analyzed.
EDA in IBM: past, present, and future (2000)

Throughout its history, from the early four-circuit gate-array chips of the late 1960s to today's billion-transistor multichip module, IBM has invested in tools to support its leading-edge technology and high-performance product development. The combination of demanding designs and close cooperation among product, technology, and tool development has given rise to many innovations in the electronic design automation (EDA) area and provided IBM with a significant competitive advantage. This paper highlights IBM's contributions over the last four decades and presents a view of the future, where the best methods of multimillion gate ASIC and gigahertz microprocessor design are converged to enable highly productive system-on-a-chip designs that include widely diverse hardware and software components.
An HMM-based approach for off-line unconstrained handwritten word modeling and recognition (1999)

Describes a hidden Markov model-based approach designed to recognize off-line unconstrained handwritten words for large vocabularies. After preprocessing, a word image is segmented into letters or pseudoletters and represented by two feature sequences of equal length, each consisting of an alternating sequence of shape-symbols and segmentation-symbols, which are both explicitly modeled. The word model is made up of the concatenation of appropriate letter models consisting of elementary HMMs and an HMM-based interpolation technique is used to optimally combine the two feature sets. Two rejection mechanisms are considered depending on whether or not the word image is guaranteed to belong to the lexicon. Experiments carried out on real-life data show that the proposed approach can be successfully used for handwritten word recognition.
The Polarographic Method of Analysis (1951)

This book was written to present the subject of polarography in such a manner that it would be of practical value for students and teachers in physical chemistry and also serve for advanced specialized study in analytical chemistry. The first chapter discusses the various electro-methods available for analysis. The remaining seven chapters give details concerning the apparatus used, discuss the fundamentals of qualitative and quantitative polarography, consider the recent developments and the possible applications of this electro-analytical method of analysis, and include some valuable suggestions for practical polarography. The volume contains 26 experiments, which are designed to illustrate the various ideas discussed. A brief bibliography and an index are also included.
