Investigation of the effects of thermal gradients present in Gleeble high-temperature tensile tests on the strain state for free cutting steel (2014)

A common feature of uniaxial high-temperature tension tests, and to a certain extent compression tests, performed using a Gleeble thermomechanical testing system that employs direct resistance heating for the characterisation of the rheological behaviour of materials is longitudinal and radial thermal gradients. The aim of this article is to experimentally quantify the axial thermal gradients for a given tensile specimen geometry of free cutting steel during heating and deformation, and design a modelling methodology to simulate their influence on the strain distribution as compared to the assumption of isothermal heating and deformation. For this purpose, a feedback algorithm was developed to control the electric current input in a similar manner to that applied by the Gleeble testing system, which implemented via the UAMP user subroutine in ABAQUS for use in electro-thermal simulations of the direct resistance Joule heating used by the Gleeble testing system. The predicted temperature fields were compared with the temperature distributions recorded experimentally along the gauge section of the tensile specimens. Finite element simulations of Gleeble tensile tests were carried out under isothermal conditions and using the temperature distributions calculated by the feedback algorithm for a range of strain rates and temperatures in order to evaluate the difference in predicted stress state. The results show that an isothermal assumption should only be used conservatively in finite element simulation of the Gleeble thermomechanical test employing direct resistance heating to avoid significant errors.

Wasserstein Contrastive Representation Distillation (2021)

The primary goal of knowledge distillation (KD) is to encapsulate the information of a model learned from a teacher network into a student network, with the latter being more compact than the former. Existing work, e.g., using Kullback-Leibler divergence for distillation, may fail to capture important structural knowledge in the teacher network and often lacks the ability for feature generalization, particularly in situations when teacher and student are built to address different classification tasks. We propose Wasserstein Contrastive Representation Distillation (WCoRD), which leverages both primal and dual forms of Wasserstein distance for KD. The dual form is used for global knowledge transfer, yielding a contrastive learning objective that maximizes the lower bound of mutual information between the teacher and the student networks. The primal form is used for local contrastive knowledge transfer within a mini-batch, effectively matching the distributions of features between the teacher and the student networks. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed WCoRD method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on privileged information distillation, model compression and cross-modal transfer.
Simulating Bosonic Baths with Error Bars (2015)

We derive rigorous truncation-error bounds for the spin-boson model and its generalizations to arbitrary quantum systems interacting with bosonic baths. For the numerical simulation of such baths, the truncation of both the number of modes and the local Hilbert-space dimensions is necessary. We derive superexponential Lieb-Robinson-type bounds on the error when restricting the bath to finitely many modes and show how the error introduced by truncating the local Hilbert spaces may be efficiently monitored numerically. In this way we give error bounds for approximating the infinite system by a finite-dimensional one. As a consequence, numerical simulations such as the time-evolving density with orthogonal polynomials algorithm (TEDOPA) now allow for the fully certified treatment of the system-environment interaction.
Document expansion for speech retrieval (1999)

Advances in automatic speech recognition allow us to search large speech collections using traditional information retrieval methods. The problem of \aboutness" for documents | is a document about a certain concept | has been at the core of document indexing for the entire history of IR. This problem is more di cult for speech indexing since automatic speech transcriptions often contain mistakes. In this study we s h o w t h a t document expansion can be successfully used to alleviate the e ect of transcription mistakes on speech r etrieval. The loss of retrieval e ectiveness due to automatic transcription errors can be reduced by document expansion from 15{27% relative t o r e t r i e v al from human transcriptions to only about 7{13%, even for automatic transcriptions with word error rates as high as 65%. For good automatic transcriptions (25% word error rate), retrieval e ectiveness with document expansion is indistinguishable from retrieval from human transcriptions. This makes speech retrieval from automatic transcriptions, even poor ones, competitive with retrieval from perfect transcriptions.
Advanced digital photoelastic investigations on the tooth–bone interface (2001)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavior of the tooth-bone interface on the nature of stress distribution in the tooth and its supporting alveolar bone for various occlusal loads using an advanced digital photoelastic technique. A digital image processing system coupled with a circular polariscope was used for the stress analysis. The phase shift technique and a phase unwrapping algorithm was utilized for fringe processing. This aids in obtaining qualitative and quantitative information on the nature of stress distribution within the dento-osseous structures. The experiments revealed bending stresses within dento-osseous structures. However, the compressive stress magnitude was larger than the tensile stress. Zero stress regions were also identified within the dento-osseous structures. The results suggest that the geometry of the dento-osseous structures and the structural gradients at the tooth-bone interface play a significant role in the distribution of stresses without stress concentrations. Further, the application of an advanced image-processing system with the circular polariscope showed notable advantages and could be applied in other biomechanical investigations.
Mupirocin-Resistant, Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureus: Does Mupirocin Remain Effective? (2003)

Mupirocin was effective in eradicating MS MRSA, but strains of MR MRSA often persisted after treatment. This appeared to reflect treatment failure rather than exogenous recolonization. MR MRSA is now more prevalent and it is appropriate to sample MRSA populations for mupirocin susceptibility prior to incorporating mupirocin into infection control programs.
Bioluminescent bioreporter integrated-circuit sensing of microbial volatile organic compounds (2003)

A bioluminescent bioreporter for the detection of the microbial volatile organic compound p-cymene was constructed as a model sensor for the detection of metabolic by-products indicative of microbial growth. The bioreporter, designated Pseudomonas putida UT93, contains a Vibrio fischeri luxCDABE gene fused to a p-cymene/p-cumate-inducible promoter derived from the P. putida F1 cym operon. Exposure of strain UT93 to 0.02-850 ppm p-cymene produced self-generated bioluminescence in less than 1.5 h. Signals in response to specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as m- and p-xylene and styrene, also occurred, but at two-fold lower bioluminescent levels. The bioreporter was interfaced with an integrated-circuit microluminometer to create a miniaturized hybrid sensor for remote monitoring of p-cymene signatures. This bioluminescent bioreporter integrated-circuit device was capable of detecting fungal presence within approximately 3.5 h of initial exposure to a culture of p-cymene-producing Penicillium roqueforti.

SCIENTIFIC OPINION Nitrite as undesirable substances in animal feed 1 Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (2009)

SUMMARY Nitrite is formed naturally by the nitrogen cycle during the process of nitrogen fixation and it is subsequently converted to nitrate, a major nutrient assimilated by plants. Two main nitrite salt forms occur, namely sodium and potassium nitrite. In animal tissues, nitrite is naturally present mainly as the result of endogenous nitrate conversion. Animal feed represents a natural source of exogenous nitrite and because of its potential for toxicity at excessive levels of intake, the Directive (EC) No 2002/32/EC on undesirable substances in animal feed established maximum limits for sodium nitrite in complete feedingstuffs excluding feedingstuffs intended for pets except birds and aquarium fish, and fish meal of 15 and 60 mg/kg, respectively (corresponding to 10 and 40 mg/kg for the nitrite ion). Nitrite in drinking water is regulated in Europe, with a maximum level of 0.5 mg/L. Nitrate levels in forages are naturally high and the inter-conversion of nitrate to nitrite is the largest contributor to nitrite exposure in food-producing animals. Dietary intake of nitrite per se results from the use of vegetable feeds and forages, fertilisers/manures or when used as an antimicrobial for preservation, for example in silage, processed pet food, and in former times fish meal. Additionally, water can be an important dietary source of nitrite via reduction of nitrate. The main analytical technique used to measure both nitrite and nitrate is colourimetry because of its sensitivity and specificity. Three member states provided analytical results on feedingstuffs and nitrite levels were below the maximum levels in all feed commodities. Acutely, nitrite is approximately ten-fold more toxic than nitrate and three main toxicological endpoints have been identified: methaemoglobin formation (in a wide range of species including man), hypertrophy of the adrenal zona glomerulosa (rats), and equivocal evidence
[Clinical research on clearance of leukemic cell during induction of remission therapy in children with precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia]. (2011)

Clearance of leukemic cell during induction of remission therapy in children with BCP-ALL had important clinical value. Sensitivity of MRD detection after induction of remission therapy was higher than that of morphological analysis to predict relapse. Morphological analysis could only identify a few patients with very high risk of relapse and the sensitivity could be increased by combination with clinical biological characteristics. The simple prednisone response may contain some prognostic information that could not be covered by analysis of BM cells. It may be the best way to assess the clearance of leukemic cells to combine the prednisone response with MRD detection after induction of remission therapy.
Ultrasonic Attenuation in the Relaxation and Carrier Hopping Regimes of p InSb at Low Temperature (1980)

Measurements are presented of ultrasonic attenuation and electrical resistivity of lightly doped p InSb samples in high magnetic fields at low temperatures. A strong correlation is found between the resistivity and attenuation under all conditions. At the higher temperatures (T 2 10 K) a relaxation peak is observed in the attenuation, which can be associated with an Orbach relaxation process via excitation of holes in the valence band. At lower temperatures the variation of attenuation with field followsclosely that predicted for the conductivity due to carriers in the hopping regime. It is believed that all of the magnetic field effects have their origin in carrier freezout.
Pathologic Features of Chronic Hepatitis (2000)

The general histopathologic changes of chronic hepatitis and those related to the various causes are reviewed. Consideration also is given to underlying or associated diseases and to mixed infections in chronic viral hepatitis. Changes occurring in exacerbations or relapses are described. Selected histopathologic changes are illustrated. The nomenclature is reviewed briefly, with emphasis on separation of activity from stage of disease.
Genomic organization of the Papaver rhoeas self-incompatibility S1 locus (2003)

The self-incompatibility (SI) response in Papaver rhoeas depends upon the cognate interaction between a pollen-expressed receptor and a stigmatically expressed ligand. The genes encoding these components are situated within the S-locus. In order for SI to be maintained, the genes encoded by the S-locus must be co-inherited with no recombination between them. Several hypotheses, including sequence heterogeneity and chromosomal position, have been put forward to explain the maintenance of the S-locus in the SI systems of the Brassicaceae and the Solanaceae. A region of the Papaver rhoeas genome encompassing part of the self-incompatibility S(1) locus has been cloned and sequenced. The clone contains the gene encoding the stigmatic component of the response, but does not contain a putative pollen S-gene. The sequence surrounding the S(1) gene contains several diverse repetitive DNA elements. As such, the P. rhoeas S-locus bears similarities to the S-loci of other SI systems. An attempt to localize the P. rhoeas S-locus using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has also been made. The potential relevance of the findings to mechanisms of recombination suppression is discussed.
ASSER: An Efficient, Reliable, and Cost-Effective Storage Scheme for Object-Based Cloud Storage Systems (2017)

High reliability, efficient I/O performance and flexible consistency provided with low storage cost are all desirable properties of cloud storage systems. Due to the inherent conflicts, however, simultaneously achieving optimum on all these properties is impractical. N-way Replication and Erasure Coding, two extensively-applied storage schemes with high reliability, adopt opposite and unbalanced strategies on the tradeoff among these properties, thus considerably restraining their effectiveness on wide range of workloads. To address the aforementioned obstacle, we propose a novel storage scheme called ASSER, an ASSembling chain of Erasure coding and Replication. ASSER stores each object in two parts: a full copy and a certain amount of erasure-coded segments. We establish dedicated read/write protocols for ASSER leveraging the unique structural advantages. On the basis of elementary protocols, we implement sequential and PRAM (Pipeline-RAM) consistency to make ASSER feasible for various services with different performance/consistency requirements. Evaluation results demonstrate that under the same fault tolerance and consistency level, ASSER outperforms N-way replication and pure erasure coding in I/O throughput under diverse system and workload configurations with superior performance stability. More importantly, ASSER delivers stably efficient I/O performance at much lower storage cost than the other comparatives.
Comprehensive study on layout dependence of soft errors in CMOS latch circuits and its scaling trend for 65 nm technology node and beyond (2005)

Accelerated soft error testing with proton beam was performed for 65 nm CMOS latches for the first time. The soft-error rate (SER) dependence on the physical layout was clarified. SER has dependence on the size of the diffusion regions since critical charge and charge collection is strong function of them. By optimizing it, SER can be reduced by 70%. The scaling trend of SER was also investigated. It is shown that SER degradation due to scaling can be suppressed by the moderate reduction of the supply voltage.
Ultrastructure of Kunjin virus-infected cells: colocalization of NS1 and NS3 with double-stranded RNA, and of NS2B with NS3, in virus-induced membrane structures (1997)

The subcellular location of the nonstructural proteins NS1, NS2B, and NS3 in Vero cells infected with the flavivirus Kunjin was investigated using indirect immunofluorescence and cryoimmunoelectron microscopy with monospecific antibodies. Comparisons were also made by dual immunolabelling using antibodies to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), the putative template in the flavivirus replication complex. At 8 h postinfection, the immunofluorescent patterns showed NS1, NS2B, NS3, and dsRNA located in a perinuclear rim with extensions into the peripheral cytoplasm. By 16 h, at the end of the latent period, all patterns had changed to some discrete perinuclear foci associated with a thick cytoplasmic reticulum. By 24 h, this localization in perinuclear foci was more apparent and some foci were dual labelled with antibodies to dsRNA. In immuno-gold-labelled cryosections of infected cells at 24 h, all antibodies were associated with clusters of induced membrane structures in the perinuclear region. Two important and novel observations were made. First, one set of induced membranes comprised vesicle packets of smooth membranes dual labelled with anti-dsRNA and anti-NS1 or anti-NS3 antibodies. Second, adjacent masses of paracrystalline arrays or of convoluted smooth membranes, which appeared to be structurally related, were strongly labelled only with anti-NS2B and anti-NS3 antibodies. Paired membranes similar in appearance to the rough endoplasmic reticulum were also labelled, but less strongly, with antibodies to the three nonstructural proteins. Other paired membranes adjacent to the structures discussed above enclosed accumulated virus particles but were not labelled with any of the four antibodies. The collection of induced membranes may represent virus factories in which translation, RNA synthesis, and virus assembly occur.

Hepatitis C virus genotype distribution in China: Predominance of closely related subtype 1b isolates and existence of new genotype 6 variants (2005)

To determine hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype distribution in China, a total of 148 HCV RNA positive serum samples were collected from nine geographic areas and subjected to RT-PCR followed by direct DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the core, E1, and NS5B regions. HCV was genotyped in 139 (93.9%) samples. Among them subtype 1b was the most predominant [66% (92/139)] followed by 2a [14% (19/139)]. Of 92 subtype 1b isolates, 35 (38%) and 30 (33%) formed two clusters, designated groups A and B. Group A was prevalent throughout China, while group B was predominant in the central and southern regions. In three cities in the Pearl River Delta, subtype 6a replaced 2a as the second most predominant subtype, and in Kunming (southwest) multiple HCV genotypes/subtypes were present. New variants of HCV genotype 6 were discovered in three samples from Kunming and one in Guangzhou in the Pearl River Delta.
