Understanding Consumer Journey using Attention based Recurrent Neural Networks (2019)

Paths of online users towards a purchase event (conversion) can be very complex, and guiding them through their journey is an integral part of online advertising. Studies in marketing indicate that a conversion event is typically preceded by one or more purchase funnel stages, viz., unaware, aware, interest, consideration, and intent. Intuitively, some online activities, including web searches, site visits and ad interactions, can serve as markers for the user's funnel stage. Identifying such markers can potentially refine conversion prediction, guide the design of ad creatives (text and images), and lead to higher ad effectiveness. We explore this hypothesis through a set of experiments designed for two tasks: (i) conversion prediction given a user's activity trail, and (ii) funnel stage specific targeting and creatives. To address challenges in the two tasks, we propose an attention based recurrent neural network (RNN) which ingests a user activity trail, and predicts the user's conversion probability along with attention weights for each activity (analogous to its position in the funnel). Specifically, we propose novel attention mechanisms, which maintain a global weight for each activity across all user trails, and also indicate the activity's funnel stage. Use of the proposed attention mechanisms for the first task of conversion prediction shows significant AUC lifts of 0.9% on a public dataset (RecSys 2015 challenge), and up to 3.6% on three proprietary datasets from a major advertising platform (Yahoo Gemini). To address the second task, the activity weights from the proposed mechanisms are used to automatically assign users to funnel stages via a scalable scoring method. Offline evaluation shows that such activity weights are more aligned with editorially tagged activity-funnel stages compared to weights from existing attention mechanisms and simpler conversion models like logistic regression. In addition, results of online ad campaigns in Yahoo Gemini with funnel specific user targeting and ad creatives show strong performance lifts further validating the connection across online activities, purchase funnel stages, stage-specific custom creatives, and conversions.
Thoracic Chordoma Misdiagnosed as Primary Adenocarcinoma of the Mediastinum (2021)

Chordoma is a rare malignant bone tumor originating from the embryonic notochord. Herein, we present a case of thoracic chordoma located at T3-T5 that was misdiagnosed as primary mediastinal adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation and the disease showed little response. Due to vertebral body invasion, we performed en bloc mass removal and partial corpectomy (T4-5) in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons.
Preoperative Predictors for Residual Tumor after Surgery in Patients with Ovarian Carcinoma (2007)

Postoperative residual tumor despite maximal surgical effort can be predicted by preoperative CA 125 and serum albumin levels. With a nomogram based on these two parameters, probability of postoperative residual tumor in each individual patient can be predicted. This proposed nomogram may be valuable in daily routine practice for counseling and to select treatment modality.
Improvement of Tolerance to Intra-channel Non-linear Effect of Coherent Higher-order Multilevel Signaling with Digital Delay-Detection (2012)

We experimentally show 1.8-dB improvement of the tolerance to intra-channel non-linearity of coherent PM-16QAM signal using digital-delay detection over highly-dispersed links (Ex. SSMFs and long NZDSFs). The use of CD pre-distortion is also proposed to compensate its performance drop in low dispersion links.

The four modalities of temporality and the problem of shame (2017)

This chapter explores the crumpled piece of fabric and focuses on threads that go into its construction and see how and when shame enters into its weave and how the problem of shame may be integrated into conscious life through an experience of the self. Temporality as chronicity is the conscious state of awareness of the regular movement of objects like the sun and the hands of a clock in the world around us. Achronicity and chronicity lie on a spectrum with many gradations between the extremes, and they may flow smoothly or roughly into and out of one another. Synchronicity in itself is shame-free, but if it is taken up into the chronicity of the ego's normal experience of life and considered in a different light, perhaps ethical, it may take on an aspect of shame. An important side-effect of the gradual integration was that a sense of shame actually developed and grew stronger as present temporality replaced dyschronicity.
Chromium ion removal from raw water by magnetic iron composites and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (2019)

In this study, nanoiron active carbon composites (NZVI/GAC) were used to remove chromium ions from raw water. The composites were synthesized from a novel formula of biological activated carbon and characterized by various techniques. The adsorption test data were fit by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir model. The q<sub>e</sub> and R<sup>2</sup> values were 187 mg Cr/g and 0.9960, respectively, with 0.2 g/L NZVI/GAC at an initial concentration of 118 mg/L Cr according to the Langmuir isotherm model. Moreover, a Cr<sup>6+</sup> detoxification reactor was constructed with the magnetic iron composite. The results indicated that the synthesized magnetic iron composite was a significant adsorbent for Cr<sup>6+</sup> removal from aqueous solutions. The detoxification reactor was able to remove Cr<sup>6+</sup> from raw water at an initial concentration of 26.5 mg/L within a short time period (3-5 min), with a removal efficiency of up to 99.90% and a treatment capacity of 45.0 mg Cr<sup>6+</sup>/g of adsorbent; the Cr<sup>6+</sup> concentrations in the outflow met the GB5749-2006 requirements for drinking water. A synergistic effect between NZVI/GAC and a suspension of the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 was found, showing that this bacterium can be used as a regeneration agent for iron-depleted activated carbon materials.
Plasma Levels of the Cytokines B Cell-Activating Factor (BAFF) and A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL) in Schizophrenia, Bipolar, and Major Depressive Disorder: A Cross Sectional, Multisite Study (2021)

These results show aberrant levels of BAFF and APRIL and association with psychotic symptoms in patients with SCZ and BIP. This suggest that dysregulation of the TNF system, mediated by BAFF and APRIL, is involved in the pathophysiology of psychotic disorders.
Contribution of endothelium-derived relaxing factor to exercise-induced vasodilation in humans (1993)

Release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) from the vascular endothelium may contribute to skeletal muscle arteriolar vasodilation during exercise. The present study was undertaken to test this hypothesis. Ten normal subjects underwent brachial arterial catheter insertion and instrumentation of their forearm to measure plethysmographic forearm blood flow. Forearm blood flow was then measured at rest, during two levels of wrist flexion exercise (0.2 and 0.4 W), and during 0.4-W exercise with concurrent infusion of norepinephrine (100 ng.min-1 x 100 ml forearm volume-1). Measurements were made with and without infusion of N-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) (0.1-0.2 mg.min-1 x 100 ml forearm volume-1), a specific inhibitor of EDRF synthesis. Infusion of L-NMMA reduced resting forearm blood flow (control: 2.5 +/- 0.4 vs. L-NMMA: 1.5 +/- 0.1 ml.min-1 x 100 ml-1) and markedly reduced forearm blood flow response to acetylcholine (5 micrograms.min-1 x 100 ml forearm volume-1) (control: 20.2 +/- 2.9 vs L-NMMA: 4.0 +/- 1.0 ml.min-1 x 100 ml-1; both P < 0.01). However, L-NMMA had no significant effect on flow responses to exercise (0.2 W: 8.3 +/- 1.1 vs. 8.3 +/- 1.2; 0.4 W: 13.8 +/- 1.7 vs. 13.5 +/- 1.7; 0.4 W + norepinephrine: 10.3 +/- 2.4 vs. 9.4 +/- 2.6 ml.min-1 x 100 ml-1; all P = NS). These findings suggest that release of EDRF from the vascular endothelium contributes to skeletal muscle arteriolar vasodilation at rest but does not contribute to the arteriolar vasodilation produced by exercise.

Epitaxial Growth and Characterization of β ‐ SiC Thin Films (1985)

Crack‐free monocrystalline films having very smooth final surfaces may be reproducibly grown at 1600 K and 760 torr on (100) Si substrates using and and if the Si is initially reacted with the alone. This initial step produces a buffer layer which reduces the mismatches in expansion coefficients and lattice parameters and thus allows the subsequent growth of the film to a thickness exceeding 5 μm. It is necessary to heat the Si wafers from room temperature to the reaction temperature in a and environment rather than preheating the substrates to the reaction temperature. An off‐axis orientation of the Si in excess of approximately 3° results in a very rough final growth surface on the film.
Effect of Entacapone, a COMP Inhibitor, on the Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism of Levodopa After Administration of Controlled-Release Levodopa-Carbidopa in Volunteers (1995)

We studied the effect of entacapone, a catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of levodopa after administration of a controlled-release (CR) levodopa-carbidopa preparation (Sinemet CR) in an open, randomized trial in 12 healthy male volunteers. The inhibition of soluble COMT (S-COMT) in red blood cells (RBCs) was also measured. Single graded doses of entacapone (100-800 mg) were administered concomitant with a single oral dose of CR levodopa, or CR levodopa was given without entacapone (control treatment), at least 1 week apart. Plasma concentrations of levodopa, 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), carbidopa, and entacapone were determined for pharmacokinetic calculations. Entacapone decreased dose-dependently the activity of S-COMT in RBCs with a maximal inhibition of 66% after the highest dose (800 mg). Entacapone increased the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of levodopa; the increase was highest (33%) after the 400-mg dose. Entacapone did not influence time to maximal concentration (Tmax) of levodopa. Entacapone was absorbed faster than levodopa from the CR preparation. The AUCs of 3-OMD and HVA decreased and that of DOPAC increased dose-dependently after entacapone, maximally by 69, 38, and 74%, respectively. Higher doses of entacapone (400 mg and 800 mg) decreased the AUC, but not Tmax of carbidopa. Over the dose range studied, entacapone was well tolerated. Entacapone is an effective COMT inhibitor. It improves the pharmacokinetic profile of levodopa when used in combination with a CR levodopa preparation, as it does with a standard levodopa preparation. The results justify further clinical studies with entacapone in combination with CR preparations of levodopa.
A validated predictive model of coronary fractional flow reserve (2011)

Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR), an important index of coronary stenosis, is measured by a pressure sensor guidewire. The determination of FFR, only based on the dimensions (lumen diameters and length) of stenosis and hyperaemic coronary flow with no other ad hoc parameters, is currently not possible. We propose an analytical model derived from conservation of energy, which considers various energy losses along the length of a stenosis, i.e. convective and diffusive energy losses as well as energy loss due to sudden constriction and expansion in lumen area. In vitro (constrictions were created in isolated arteries using symmetric and asymmetric tubes as well as an inflatable occluder cuff) and in vivo (constrictions were induced in coronary arteries of eight swine by an occluder cuff) experiments were used to validate the proposed analytical model. The proposed model agreed well with the experimental measurements. A least-squares fit showed a linear relation as (Δ p or FFR) experiment = a (Δ p or FFR) theory + b , where a and b were 1.08 and −1.15 mmHg ( r 2 = 0.99) for in vitro Δ p , 0.96 and 1.79 mmHg ( r 2 = 0.75) for in vivo Δ p , and 0.85 and 0.1 ( r 2 = 0.7) for FFR. Flow pulsatility and stenosis shape (e.g. eccentricity, exit angle divergence, etc.) had a negligible effect on myocardial FFR, while the entrance effect in a coronary stenosis was found to contribute significantly to the pressure drop. We present a physics-based experimentally validated analytical model of coronary stenosis, which allows prediction of FFR based on stenosis dimensions and hyperaemic coronary flow with no empirical parameters.
Analysis of an Equal-Cost Multi-Path Algorithm (2000)

Equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) is a routing technique for routing packets along multiple paths of equal cost. The forwarding engine identifies paths by next-hop. When forwarding a packet the router must decide which next-hop (path) to use. This document gives an analysis of one method for making that decision. The analysis includes the performance of the algorithm and the disruption caused by changes to the set of next-hops.
Bioprocessing of coals workshop-III (1988)

Bioprocessing of coals is an area of immerging technology which is beginning to be given considerable research attention. This workshop is the third in a series of annual forums intended to bring together workers in the field to discuss progress, results, and opportunities. Three years ago, this workshop was one of only a few forums where research dealing specifically with biological treatment of coal and coal derived materials was discussed in a concerted manner. Now, there are numerous meetings and symposia where these results are being presented. This growth in topical meetings is a reflection of the increased interest in both the technical community and funding agencies for the potential of bioprocessing of coals. Bioprocessing of coals is on the verge of becoming an accepted means to treat coal. Twenty-one research programs are included in this report. Individual projects are processed separately for the data bases.

Aplastic Anemia in Adolescents and Young Adults (2014)

Adolescent and young adult patient presentations of aplastic anemia require a particular perspective on both diagnosis and treatment. This unique age group necessitates a thorough diagnostic evaluation to ensure the etiology, acquired or inherited, is sufficiently determined. The treatment options include human leukocyte antigen-identical sibling hematopoietic cell transplantation or immunosuppressive therapy, and both require attention to the specific medical and social needs of these adolescents and young adults. Longitudinal surveillance throughout life for the development of late complications of the disease and treatment is mandatory.
Field‐effect transistor made with a sexithiophene single crystal (1996)

For the fabrication of organic transistors sexithiophene (6T) is one of the most promising materials. Since high purity improves the transistor performance of 6T, the FET described here was built on an ultrapure sexithiophene single crystal, shown in the figure as a gray block. The characteristics of this transistor—better than those of FETs based on evaporated polycrystalline sexithiophene—are presented. magnified image
Translation of alfalfa mosaic virus RNA effect of polyamines (1976)

Alfalfa Mosaic Virus (AMV) is a multicomponent vinis [l] consisted essentially by four nucleoprotein particles, though other minor components exist of various sizes [2]. Each of the major components contains its own species of RNA [3] with sedimentation coefficients of 24S, 2OS, 17s and 12s and corresponding mol. wts. of approx. 1.3 X 1 06, 1.0X 106,0.7X lo6 and0.33X lo6 [4].The 12s RNA is not needed for infectivity which can be obtained by inoculation of the mixture of other heavier RNAs and the coat protein [3,5]. Nevertheless, the 12s RNA is found as a structural component of the nucleoprotein particles in the infected cells. These results suggested that the total genetic information is included in the three heavy RNAs in accord with the finding that there is no replicative form for 12s RNA [6] and that there is redundant sequence coding for the coat protein in 17s RNA [7] . Similar results have been obtained with another multicomponent virus, the Brome Mosaic Virus [ 8,9] . It is obvious that studies on the expression of genes located in such different RNAs by means of in vitro translation should bring some insight into the role of these RNAs and their irregulation.
Influence of Pump Pulse Duration on Doubly Resonant Optical Parametric Oscillators Build-up Time (2014)

A single-frequency doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator is pumped by a master oscillator-fiber power amplifier whose pulse duration is varied for 40 ns to 10 µs, enabling to optimize the pumping parameters.
Analysis and Interpretation of Factors Which Contribute to Efficiency of Nitrogen Utilization1 (1982)

Abstract Differences in N response among corn ( Zea mays L.) genotypes reflect variation in numerous processes involved in N use efficiency. In order to facilitate the study of such variation, we develop and demonstrate a concept for evaluating the contribution of N uptake and utilization processes to variation in N use efficiency. Eight hybrids were grown in a replicated field experiment at two levels of N fertilizer on a Dothan loamy sand (Typic Plinthic Paleudult). Differences among the hybrids for components of N use efficiency were evaluated from measurements of grain yield, N accumulation in the plant at silking, and N accumulation in the grain and stover at harvest. Significant differences were found among hybrids and between N levels for all traits. Interactions among hybrids and N levels were significant for all traits except grain yield. At low N supply, differences among hybrids for N use efficiency were due largely to variation in utilization of accumulated N, but with high N they were due largely to variation in uptake efficiency. Variation in proportion of N translocated to grain was also important at the low N supply. Variation in N accumulated after silking was not important at either level of N supply. Variation in N remobilization from vegetative tissue to grain was moderately important at the low N supply. Hybrids with similar levels of N use efficiency showed marked differences in component traits which contribute to efficiency.
