A Novel Approach for Re-Ranking of Search Results Using Collaborative Filtering (2007)

Search engines today often return a large volume of results with possibly a few relevant results. The notion of relevance is subjective and depends on the user and context. Re-ranking of the results to reflect the most relevant results to the user using the relevance feedback has received wide attention in information retrieval in recent years. Also, sharing of information among users having similar interests using collaborative filtering techniques has achieved wide success in recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for re-ranking of the search results using collaborative filtering techniques using relevance feedback of a given user as well as the other users. Our approach is to learn the profiles of the users using machine learning techniques making use of past browsing histories including queries posed and documents found relevant or irrelevant. Re-ranking of the results is done using collaborative filtering techniques. First, the context of the query is inferred from the query category. The user's community is determined dynamically in the context of the query by using the user profiles. The rank of a document is calculated using the user's profile as well profiles of the other users in the community
Implementation and evaluation of an on-device customizable user interface for smart devices (2008)

A new customizable user interface for smart devices based on hyperlink associability is presented. Although mobile devices should be easy to use, many current devices have complex and widely varying interfaces. The proposed framework, Hyrax, attempts to improve the menu structure and accessibility of functions while considering user preferences. In Hyrax, the user interface is constructed and customized using hyperlinks, more precisely, the XLink in W3C and External Function Invocation in WAP Forum, for access to application functions. We focus herein on the user interface of a phone and present the customizable menu structure of the phone while the user uses the interface. This is referred to herein as ‘on-device’ customization. We implement the on-device customization capabilities and evaluate the capabilities of the proposed interface.

Affinity Labeling of Adenosine A1 Binding Sites (1987)

The adenosine A1 receptors of sheep brain membranes have been identified by the specific binding of radiolabeled cyclohexyl[3H]adenosine ([3H]CHA). Pretreatment of membranes with periodate-oxidized CHA causes a dose- and time-dependent decrease in the number of binding sites. No decrease occurs when membranes are pretreated with CHA. Binding of [3H]CHA to the remaining sites occurs with the same characteristics as binding to the untreated receptor population.
Absence of Humoral Response in Flamingos and Red-Tailed Hawks to Experimental Vaccination with a Killed West Nile Virus Vaccine (2003)

Sixteen Chilean flamingos, Phoenicopterus chiles, and 10 red-tailed hawks, Buteo jamacensis, were vaccinated in the pectoral muscle with 0.2 ml of a commercially produced killed West Nile virus vaccine intended for use in horses. Half the birds of each species received a booster vaccination 3 weeks after the first injection. Three weeks after the booster vaccination, none of 13 birds surveyed had detectable antibody to West Nile virus.
Optimal Peak Shaving Using Batteries at Datacenters: Charging Risk and Degradation Model (2018)

A datacenter's power consumption is a major contributor to its operational expenditures (op-ex) as determined by peak-demand-over-billing-period based pricing which is often employed by major electric utility providers. There is a growing interest in reducing a datacenters electricity costs by using demand-throttling techniques and/or energy storage devices (batteries which are readily available at most datacenters as a backup energy source). For the latter, we present a Markov Decision Process framework based on power-demand uncertainty and a linearized battery degradation model. This framework also explicitly considers risk of over or under charging the battery resulting in higher cost-savings (up to 2×) with tractable risk. We show the complete characterization of risk-cost trade-off and cost-per-risk as a function of datacenter's workload characteristics. We also, study a linearized battery degradation model empirically, and show the accuracy of this model for bursty workloads, however there is some discrepancy between the linearized model and reality for workloads with lower variability.

New Frontiers on Human Safe Insecticides and Fungicides: An Opinion on Trehalase Inhibitors (2020)

In the era of green economy, trehalase inhibitors represent a valuable chance to develop non-toxic pesticides, being hydrophilic compounds that do not persist in the environment. The lesson on this topic that we learned from the past can be of great help in the research on new specific green pesticides. This review aims to describe the efforts made in the last 50 years in the evaluation of natural compounds and their analogues as trehalase inhibitors, in view of their potential use as insecticides and fungicides. Specifically, we analyzed trehalase inhibitors based on sugars and sugar mimics, focusing on those showing good inhibition properties towards insect trehalases. Despite their attractiveness as a target, up to now there are no trehalase inhibitors that have been developed as commercial insecticides. Although natural complex pseudo di- and trisaccharides were firstly studied to this aim, iminosugars look to be more promising, showing an excellent specificity profile towards insect trehalases. The results reported here represent an overview and a discussion of the best candidates which may lead to the development of an effective insecticide in the future.
Enumerative Combinatorics (1999)

This second volume of a two-volume basic introduction to enumerative combinatorics covers the composition of generating functions, trees, algebraic generating functions, D-finite generating functions, noncommutative generating functions, and symmetric functions. The chapter on symmetric functions provides the only available treatment of this subject suitable for an introductory graduate course on combinatorics, and includes the important Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm. Also covered are connections between symmetric functions and representation theory. An appendix by Sergey Fomin covers some deeper aspects of symmetric function theory, including jeu de taquin and the Littlewood-Richardson rule. As in Volume 1, the exercises play a vital role in developing the material. There are over 250 exercises, all with solutions or references to solutions, many of which concern previously unpublished results. Graduate students and research mathematicians who wish to apply combinatorics to their work will find this an authoritative reference.
7.5 kV 4H-SiC GTO's for power conversion (2013)

There is a growing demand for medium voltage, 6.5-24 kV, switches capable of operating at more than 15 kHz frequencies. The range of potential applications includes grid-tied solar inverters and pulsed-power applications, where the conventional silicon thyristor technology is plagued with slow switching speeds at medium blocking voltage requirements. In this paper we present the design and characterization of 7.5 kV 4H-SiC Gate-Turn-Off thyristors (GTO's) with multiple floating guard-ring edge termination, and present GTO switching performance at 10 kHz in an AC-link™ [1] inverter.
Effect of Genetic Merit and Concentrate Supplementation on Grass Intake and Milk Production with Holstein Friesian Dairy Cows (2003)

A total of 48 high genetic merit (HM) and 48 medium merit (MM) cows, each given a low (LC), medium (MC), or high (HC) level of concentrate supplementation, were used in a split-plot design experiment, which was run in three consecutive years, to evaluate animal production responses. Individual cow intakes were estimated twice each year while at pasture; measurement period 1 (MP1) was in May/June, and measurement period 2 (MP2) was in early September, corresponding on average to d 110 and 200 of lactation, respectively. In MP1, cows were offered 0 (LC), 3 (MC), and 6 kg (HC), whereas in MP2 the levels were 0 (LC), 0 (MC), and 4 kg (HC) of concentrate daily. Genotype had a significant effect on all milk production parameters in MP1 and MP2. The HM cows had the highest yield of milk, fat, protein, and lactose, whereas the MM cows had the highest milk fat, protein, and lactose concentrations. The HM cows had significantly higher grass dry matter intake (GDMI) estimates. In MP1, the average responses, per kg concentrate dry matter, was +1.10 kg of milk, +0.038 kg of protein, +0.032 kg of fat. The corresponding values in MP2 were +0.94 kg of milk, +0.037 kg of protein, and +0.025 kg of fat. The response to concentrate was linear and independent of preexperimental milk yield. In MP1, the partial regression coefficients relating daily GDMI to an increase in 1 kg of preexperimental milk yield (PMY), preexperimental BW (PBW), and concentrate intake (CI) were 0.123, 0.006, and -0.54, respectively, whereas the corresponding values in MP2 were 0.190,0.007, and-0.444, respectively. This study indicates that with high yielding dairy cows, on gras only GDMI of 17 kg of supporting milk yield of 30-kg/d is achievable. In this scenario, concentrate supplementation will result in lower substitution rates, and higher milk yield response than previously published with lower yielding cows.
On the origin of mRNA encoding the truncated dopamine D3-type receptor D3nf and detection of D3nf-like immunoreactivity in human brain. (1994)

A truncated dopamine D3-receptor-like mRNA, named D3nf, predicts a protein that differs from the D3-receptor only in the carboxyl terminus. However, such a protein has lost the predicted membrane topology typically found for G protein-coupled receptors. Results presented here show that D3nf mRNA arises from the D3-encoded primary transcript via alternative splicing. This splicing, however, appears to involve cleavage of an unusual 3' splice site. Therefore, we tested the possibility that D3nf mRNA results from a splicing error. If this were the case, D3nf mRNA would be expected to be present in the cytoplasm only at very low amounts, and it would not be expected to be translated into protein. However, the relative abundance of cytoplasmic D3/D3nf mRNA in human cortical tissues was found to be similar. Furthermore, we raised polyclonal antisera against the predicted carboxyl-terminal peptide sequence of D3nf that reacts specifically with a protein expressed in stably D3nf mRNA-expressing COS 7 cells. The use of this antiserum also revealed the presence of a approximately 68 kDa D3nf-like immunoreactive protein in human brain, suggesting that the atypically processed D3nf mRNA is translated.
[IC‐03–04]: WHITE MATTER HYPERINTENSITIES IN GENETIC FRONTOTEMPORAL DEMENTIA: A GENFI STUDY (2017)

Around a third of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is caused by mutations in three main genes: progranulin (GRN), microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) and chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72). Pathophysiological processes induced by these mutations may differ and some FTD subtypes have been associated with damage to the white matter (WM). This damage is visible as hyperintense signal on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The Genetic FTD Initiative (GENFI) is a longitudinal cohort study aimed at furthering understanding of disease in individuals with these three mutations. T1 and T2-weighted MR sequences were acquired for 180 subjects within the GENFI cohort, divided into 76 non-carriers, 61 presymptomatic mutation carriers (25 GRN, 8 MAPT and 28 C9orf72) and 43 symptomatic carriers (7 GRN, 13 MAPT and 23 C9orf72). WM hyperintensities (WMH) were automatically segmented using an algorithm based on outlier modelling in a multivariate Gaussian mixture model. Location in the WM was coded according to 1) a relative distance between ventricles and the cortex, divided into four equidistant layers (1st layer periventricular, 4th layer juxtacortical), and 2) to the closest cortical lobe. WMH in the basal ganglia were also investigated. Infratentorial regions were excluded from the analysis. Log-transformed WMH volumes were adjusted for age, gender, total intracranial volume, scanner type and years before expected onset. Symptomatic GRN carriers had significantly more WMH than all other groups, but no differences could be detected between other subgroups (table 1). Symptomatic GRN carriers appeared to have a larger volume of WMH in the frontal and occipital regions compared with other symptomatic groups and presymptomatic GRN cases. Differences were most noticeable in periventricular layers, with higher WMH volumes in GRN cases compared with other groups. WMH patterns differ across FTD genetic subtypes, with symptomatic GRN carriers displaying particularly predominant fronto-occipital periventricular WMH. Future research should explore the pathophysiological mechanisms of WMH within genetic FTD. Effect sizes of observed differences between groups at local (layers and lobes) and global scales; PS - Presymptomatic; S - Symptomatic.
A Reactive and Cycle-True IP Emulator for MPSoC Exploration (2007)

The design of MultiProcessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) emphasizes intellectual-property (IP)-based communication-centric approaches. Therefore, for the optimization of the MPSoC interconnect, the designer must develop traffic models that realistically capture the application behavior as executing on the IP core. In this paper, we introduce a Reactive IP Emulator (RIPE) that enables an effective emulation of the IP-core behavior in multiple environments, including bit- and cycle-true simulation. The RIPE is built as a multithreaded abstract instruction-set processor, and it can generate reactive traffic patterns. We compare the RIPE models with cycle-true functional simulation of complex application behavior (task-synchronization, multitasking, and input/output operations). Our results demonstrate high-accuracy and significant speedups. Furthermore, via a case study, we show the potential use of the RIPE in a design-space-exploration context.
Tetradecylthioacetic acid inhibits proliferation of human SW620 colon cancer cells - gene expression profiling implies endoplasmic reticulum stress (2011)

We find that TTA-induced growth inhibition of SW620 cells seems to be mediated through induction of ER stress and activation of the UPR pathway.
Managing nematodes in sweet potatoes with resistance and nematicides (1984)

Not available – first paragraph follows:
Most of California's sweet potato production acreage is in the central San Joaquin Valley. The crop is grown primarily on sandy soils, in which root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are commonly distributed and where they are most likely to cause loss of yield.
Theoretical Heterogeneous Catalysis: Scaling Relationships and Computational Catalyst Design (2016)

Scaling relationships are theoretical constructs that relate the binding energies of a wide variety of catalytic intermediates across a range of catalyst surfaces. Such relationships are ultimately derived from bond order conservation principles that were first introduced several decades ago. Through the growing power of computational surface science and catalysis, these concepts and their applications have recently begun to have a major impact in studies of catalytic reactivity and heterogeneous catalyst design. In this review, the detailed theory behind scaling relationships is discussed, and the existence of these relationships for catalytic materials ranging from pure metal to oxide surfaces, for numerous classes of molecules, and for a variety of catalytic surface structures is described. The use of the relationships to understand and elucidate reactivity trends across wide classes of catalytic surfaces and, in some cases, to predict optimal catalysts for certain chemical reactions, is explored. Finally, the observation that, in spite of the tremendous power of scaling relationships, their very existence places limits on the maximum rates that may be obtained for the catalyst classes in question is discussed, and promising strategies are explored to overcome these limitations to usher in a new era of theory-driven catalyst design.
Morphologic Features of Adenocarcinoma of the Lung Predictive of Response to the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Kinase Inhibitors Erlotinib and Gefitinib (2009)

Overall, histologic differences exist between tumors that respond to TKIs and those that do not, although sampling affects classification, and there is significant histologic overlap between the 2 groups. Response is strongly associated with EGFR mutations.
A Task Allocation Approach for Human-Robot Collaboration in Product\n Defects Inspection Scenarios (2020)

The presence and coexistence of human operators and collaborative robots in\nshop-floor environments raises the need for assigning tasks to either operators\nor robots, or both. Depending on task characteristics, operator capabilities\nand the involved robot functionalities, it is of the utmost importance to\ndesign strategies allowing for the concurrent and/or sequential allocation of\ntasks related to object manipulation and assembly. In this paper, we extend the\n\\textsc{FlexHRC} framework presented in \\cite{darvish2018flexible} to allow a\nhuman operator to interact with multiple, heterogeneous robots at the same time\nin order to jointly carry out a given task. The extended \\textsc{FlexHRC}\nframework leverages a concurrent and sequential task representation framework\nto allocate tasks to either operators or robots as part of a dynamic\ncollaboration process. In particular, we focus on a use case related to the\ninspection of product defects, which involves a human operator, a dual-arm\nBaxter manipulator from Rethink Robotics and a Kuka youBot mobile manipulator.\n
Alcohol, aldehydes and lipid peroxidation: current notions. (1987)

The relations between membrane damage, lipid peroxidation and the effects of alcohol have attracted longstanding interest. In vitro studies showed that parameters of lipid peroxidation were positive. However, in vivo studies did not always provide clearcut conclusions. Our interest and that of a number of other groups, therefore, has centered on the intact organ and intact animal, using noninvasive indicators of lipid peroxidation such as ethane or pentane release and low-level chemiluminescence. The studies were mainly carried out with the isolated perfused rat liver, and there is substantial evidence for aldehydes being crucial in promoting lipid peroxidation. The range of aldehydes was extended from acetaldehyde to longer-chain aldehydes; in particular, aldehydes which themselves can originate from polyunsaturated fatty acid breakdown, e.g. 4-hydroxynonenal and congeners, were studied and were found to be potent in supporting lipid peroxidation.
Anticipating many futures: Online human motion prediction and synthesis for human-robot collaboration (2017)

Fluent and safe interactions of humans and robots require both partners to anticipate the others' actions. A common approach to human intention inference is to model specific trajectories towards known goals with supervised classifiers. However, these approaches do not take possible future movements into account nor do they make use of kinematic cues, such as legible and predictable motion. The bottleneck of these methods is the lack of an accurate model of general human motion. In this work, we present a conditional variational autoencoder that is trained to predict a window of future human motion given a window of past frames. Using skeletal data obtained from RGB depth images, we show how this unsupervised approach can be used for online motion prediction for up to 1660 ms. Additionally, we demonstrate online target prediction within the first 300-500 ms after motion onset without the use of target specific training data. The advantage of our probabilistic approach is the possibility to draw samples of possible future motions. Finally, we investigate how movements and kinematic cues are represented on the learned low dimensional manifold.
Transport of divalent cations with tetracycline as mediated by the transposon Tn10-encoded tetracycline resistance protein. (1990)

Tetracycline uptake into inverted membrane vesicles from Tn10-bearing Escherichia coli cells required divalent cations. The degree of the stimulation of tetracycline uptake by various divalent cations showed the following decreasing order: Co2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Mg2+ greater than Cd2+ greater than Ca2+. This order is consistent with the increasing order of the dissociation constants for metal chelate complexes of tetracycline. The Hill constants for the tetracycline uptake rate with various divalent cation concentrations were one. These observations strongly suggested that a 1:1 complex of tetracycline and a divalent cation was transported by a tetracycline resistance protein. This notion was confirmed by our observations that 60Co2+ was actively taken up with tetracycline by the membrane vesicles prepared from resistant cells. In the absence of tetracycline, no uptake of 60Co2+ was observed. It is clear that the 60Co2+ uptake was mediated by the tetracycline resistance protein, because the membrane vesicles from tetracycline-sensitive cells did not show the uptake of 60Co2+ and tetracycline. The 60Co2+ uptake was inhibited in the presence of other divalent cations, without any significant effect on tetracycline uptake, indicating that these cations are also transported with tetracycline by the tetracycline resistance protein.
Patellofemoral Pain in Alpine Skiing (1996)

Six in a group of 15 elite female skiers, median age 16 (15 to 17) years, suffered patellofemoral pain after altering their giant slalom technique to comply with that of the Norwegian World Cup team. The aim of this study is to describe and compare the new and old techniques and relate them to patellofemoral biomechanics. The new and old techniques were evaluated on the slope by a video camera from different angles and then computerized and analyzed. Any patellofemoral pathology or rotational or torsional abnormalities of the femur and tibia were recorded by computer tomography (CT). An increased degree of vertical movement and knee flexion was observed with the new technique. The CT-scan showed no patellofemoral incongruence or torsional abnormalities in any of the skiers. The patellofemoral pain of these skiers seemed to be due to overloading of the knee rather than to misalignment.
