Style Transfer in Text: Exploration and Evaluation (2018)

The ability to transfer styles of texts or images, is an important measurement of the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). However, the progress in language style transfer is lagged behind other domains, such as computer vision, mainly because of the lack of parallel data and reliable evaluation metrics. In response to the challenge of lacking parallel data, we explore learning style transfer from non-parallel data. We propose two models to achieve this goal. The key idea behind the proposed models is to learn separate content representations and style representations using adversarial networks. Considering the problem of lacking principle evaluation metrics, we propose two novel evaluation metrics that measure two aspects of style transfer: transfer strength and content preservation. We benchmark our models and the evaluation metrics on two style transfer tasks: paper-news title transfer, and positive-negative review transfer. Results show that the proposed content preservation metric is highly correlate to human judgments, and the proposed models are able to generate sentences with similar content preservation score but higher style transfer strength comparing to auto-encoder.

Design and Simulation of Large Breakaway Signs (1998)

Breakaway supports are common devices used for dual-support signs located along the roadway. The sign system utilizes a fuse plate that is designed to support the wind loads on the sign as well as to allow the sign support to release on impact, and swing up and out of the way, when impacted by an errant vehicle. Two alternative designs for improving the wind load capacity of large dual-support signs were analyzed: a thicker fuse plate design and a balanced hinge design. The safety performance of the sign systems was evaluated using nonlinear, large deformation finite-element analysis (FEA). Crash simulation results indicated that both designs have the potential for meeting the safety recommendations set forth by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report No. 350.

An Analysis of DoS Attack Strategies Against the LTE RAN (2014)

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest 3GPP mobile network standard, offering an all-IP network with higher efficiency and up to ten times the data rates of its predecessors. Due to an increase in cyber crime and the proliferation of mobile computing, attacks stemming from mobile devices are becoming more frequent and complex. Mobile malware can create smart-phone botnets in which a large number of mobile devices conspire to perform malicious activities on the cellular network. It has been shown that such botnets can cause a denial of service (DoS) by exhausting user traffic capacity over the air interface. Through simulation and with studies in a real-world deployment, this paper examines the impact of a botnet of devices seeking to attack the LTE network using different types of strategies. We quantify the adverse effects on legitimate users as the size of the botnet scales up in both sparsely and denselypopulated cells for varying traffic Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Our results show that a single attacker can drastically reduce the QoS of legitimate devices in the same cell. Furthermore, we prove that the impact of the attack can be optimized by tuning the attack strategy, leveraging the LTE uplink MAC scheduler.
Analysis of Hospital Records on Farm Injuries Over Three Years in South Carolina (2002)

ABSTRACT A problem that agriculture faces daily is injury to its workers. South Carolina is not exempt from this problem. This paper discusses South Carolina's agricultural injury records and injury surveillance needs. From 1996-1998 there was a total of 827 farm related injuries reported by South Carolina hospitals: 79% of the victims were males, 70% were whites and 42% occurred to adults ranging in age from 35-64. The most common injury was trauma to the lower limbs (34%). One critical data element necessary in safety programming is determining the cause of these injuries. Hospital data does not answer causal questions. However, these data do highlight questions that need to be addressed to provide the necessary information to both educate and increase awareness for the rural residents of South Carolina.
1946 and the Early History of Hydrosilylation (2022)

Three events occurred in the second half of 1946 in three adjoining US States (NJ, NY, and PA) which marked the birth of Hydrosilylation Technology. They occurred before the landmark 1957 JACS paper and the 1958 issued US patent by Speier et al. and before Chalk and Harrod named the reaction. First, on 27 June 1946, Mackenzie et al., of Montclair Research Corp., applied for a patent to prepare addition compounds of hydridosilanes and unsaturated organic compounds. Then, on 9 October 1946, Wagner and Strother of Union Carbide Corp. applied for a patent on a process to produce organic compounds of silicon with Si-C bonds by reacting a hydridosilane and an alkene or alkyne in the presence of a catalyst metal of the platinum group. Finally, Sommer et al., submitted a paper on peroxide-catalyzed hydrosilylation to JACS on 17 December 1946. It was published in January 1947. The landmark patent interference <sup>§</sup> and priority <sup>§</sup> case law associated with the Mackenzie et al. and Wagner et al., applications is well known to patent attorneys. This presentation will retrace the origins of hydrosilylation and report events (1946-1960) in the history of the reaction that are most probably unknown to most authors and presenters of hydrosilylation investigations. George Wagner's contribution to the birth of this technology is also highlighted.

The algorithms and architecture of real-time vision and robot controller are described.
Characterization of the Learning Plateau and the Learning Rate of the VBlaST PT© Simulator with a Kinematic Objective Performance Metric (2013)

Gaining proficiency in laparoscopic surgery requires a considerable amount of practice. The VBLaST © is a virtual reality simulator that can simulate the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) tasks. It is equipped to compute and record scores automatically along with kinematic parameters such as path length, economy of motion, motion smoothness, etc. In this study the learning curve for the VBLaST PT © simulator was characterized from both the computed numerical score and the path lengths of the left and right tools. From the learning curve, the learning plateau and the learning rate was also found for both parameters. A total of 6 subjects participated in the learning curve study that consisted of 15 sessions of 10 repetitions of the peg transfer task for a total of 150 repetitions in three weeks. Subjects performed better in terms of higher scores and shorter path lengths within the first practice session but improved their performance thereafter and achieved a stable plateau. Paired sampled t-test on the pre, post and retention tests showed significant learning retention for both metrics. Tool path length is a valid kinematic metric that can be used to assess the learning and retention of laparoscopic surgical skill along with the numerical score computed from completion time and errors.

Familial isolated hyperCKaemia associated with a new mutation in the caveolin-3 (CAV-3) gene (2002)

An 18 year old man and his mother both presented with persistent, isolated raised serum creatine kinase (hyperCKaemia) without muscle symptoms. Analysis of caveolin-3 protein expression in muscle biopsy of the propositus showed a reduction in the protein. Genetic analysis revealed a new heterozygous mutation in the caveolin-3 (CAV-3) gene: a C-->T transition at nucleotide position 83 in exon 1 leading to a substitution of a proline for a leucine at amino acid position 28 (P28L). This is the first pathogenic mutation in the CAV-3 gene associated with isolated familial hyperCKaemia. It expands the genetic heterogeneity in patients with caveolin-3 deficiency and confirms that caveolin-3 deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of isolated hyperCKaemia.

Cover Picture: Chemical and Structural Insights into the Regioversatility of the Aminoglycoside Acetyltransferase Eis (ChemBioChem 16/2013) (2013)

The cover picture shows how the Eis enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis binds its substrate, aminoglycoside tobramycin, for acetylation. Acetylation of aminoglycosides by Eis causes resistance to these drugs in tuberculosis. On p. 2127 ff., O. V. Tsodikov, S. Garneau-Tsodikova et al. reveal two new acetylation positions for this enzyme on aminoglycoside scaffolds: the 3′′-amine of tobramycin, kanamycin, and amikacin as well as the γ-amine of the 4-amino-2-hydroxybutyryl group of amikacin. A cartoon of the crystal structure of the ternary complex of Eis, CoA, and tobramycin demonstrates that this aminoglycoside can bind Eis in two distinct conformations, one for acetylation of the 6′-position (tobramycin in pink with the acetylation position in turquoise) and one for acetylation at the 3′′-position (tobramycin in green with the acetylation position in lilac).

A nicked group II intron andtrans-splicing in liverwort,Marchantia polymorpha, chloroplasts (1988)

The chloroplast gene rps12 for ribosomal protein S12 in a liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, is split into three exons by two introns, one of which (intron 1) is discontinuous. Exon 1 of rps12 for the N-terminal portion of the S12 protein is far from exons 2 and 3 for the C-terminal portion on the opposite DNA strand. S1-nuclease protection analysis and Northern hybridization with RNA isolated from the liverwort chloroplasts showed that: (i) the exons 1 and 2-3 of the rps12 gene with the neighboring genes were transcribed separately, (ii) the trans-splicing of intron 1 occurred after the processing of two primary transcripts to two pre-mRNAs, and (iii) there was no particular order for the splicing of intron 1 (trans) and intron 2 (cis) in the rps12 gene. We propose a bimolecular interaction model for trans-splicing by assuming that intermolecular base pairings between two pre-mRNAs result in the formation of the structure typical of group II introns except for disruption in the loop III region. This structure could be constructed in intron 1 of tobacco rps12 gene.
Multipath TCP with Network Coding for Wireless Mesh Networks (2010)

In wireless multihop networks, techniques such as multipath, local retransmissions and network coding have been successfully used to increase throughput and reduce losses. However, while these techniques improve forwarding performance for UDP, they often introduce side effects such as packet reordering and delay that heavily affect TCP traffic. In this paper we introduce CoMP, a network coding multipath forwarding scheme that improves the reliability and the performance of TCP sessions in wireless mesh networks. CoMP exploits the wireless mesh path diversity using network coding, performs congestion control and uses a credit-based method to control the rate at which linear combinations are transmitted. CoMP uses a simple algorithm to estimate losses and to send redundant linear combinations in order to maintain the decoding delay at a minimum and to prevent TCP timeouts and retransmissions. We evaluate CoMP through extensive simulations and compare it to state-of-the-art protocols. We show that CoMP not only achieves a higher throughput, but also is more efficient than existing protocols, making TCP sessions feasible for wireless mesh networks even under heavy losses.
Application of Environmental Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy to Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (2001)

Abstract The spatial/chemical relationship between bacteria, their biofilms, and metal substrata was examined in an environmental cell transmission electron microscope equipped with an energy loss spectrometer. The advantage of environmental cell transmission electron microscopy is that unfixed, hydrated specimens can be examined, in more or less their natural state, with high spatial resolution.
S-type granites and their probable absence in southwestern North America (1986)

Criteria that have been (and still are) used to characterize S-type granites of the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) of southeastern Australia are reviewed, and comparisons are made with various peraluminous granites of southwestern North America, some of which have been classified as S-types on the basis of insufficient data. &#13;\n&#13;\nVirtually all of the vast volume of S-type granites in the LFB are near-surface, batholithic granites that are commonly associated with S-type volcanics and are not associated with regional metamorphic rocks and migmatites. They are strongly peraluminous, as shown by the presence of cordierite. Granites with primary muscovite are rare. All are low in Na, Ca, and Sr as a result of chemical weathering during formation of the sedimentary sources. Peraluminous granites of various ages in southwestern North America are distinctly different. They rarely contain cordierite (a mineral characteristic of LFB S-types), but some are highly evolved such that Fe-Mn-rich garnet has crystallized. They are dominantly two-mica granites, indicating crystallization at higher water fugacities and greater depths than most peraluminous granites of the LFB. Cordierite-bearing volcanics (S-types) have not been reported. Sodium is generally high in the peraluminous granites of southwestern North America. Some of these rocks have trondhjemitic affinities; the parent magmas seem more likely to have been produced by partial melting of altered basaltic rocks. Locally, some peraluminous rocks (marginal to metaluminous types) may owe their compositions to high-level contamination of I-types; these are not S-type rocks. No compelling evidence has been presented that any of the peraluminous granites of southwestern North America are S-types.
Cyanine TruStain™, an effective blocking buffer to eliminate non-specific cyanine-like dye-mediated monocyte binding (2017)

Abstract Cyanine dyes and their analogs are commonly used as acceptors in commercially available antibody-tandem fluorophore conjugates. However, it has been confirmed that the dyes have a tendency to bind monocytes or macrophages nonspecifically, which limits the ability to do multi-color flow cytometric analysis for lower density antigens. We are introducing Cyanine TruStain™ Buffer which eliminates this nonspecific binding. This reagent blocks nonspecific binding of monocytes and macrophages to Cyanine dyes, (PE/Cy7, PE/Cy5, PercpCy5.5, APC/Cy7, APC/Fire™ 750, PE/Dazzle™ 594). It does not affect binding of, e.g., CD64, CD14 and other tested antibodies. Multiple Cyanine dyes can be blocked at once and stability data shows no decrease in signal intensity compared to the conjugate alone. In addition the reagent has no impact on cell viability. Mock sorting experiments were performed with PBMC to determine if the Cyanine TruStain™ Buffer stimulates cells to produce cytokines and chemokines. Our data indicates minimal to no stimulation above conjugated antibody alone for IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and MCP-1 production. We also tested Cyanine TruStain™ Buffer for its ability to negatively affect PBMC proliferation in response to anti-CD3/anti-CD28 stimulation. We observed minimal to no effect on proliferation by measuring BrdU incorporation. In summary, we are introducing a blocking reagent to eliminate nonspecific binding to Cyanine dyes which shows minimal perturbation of cell functions.
Polaronic exciton binding energy in iodide and bromide organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites (2015)

The last 4 years have seen the rapid emergence of a new solar cell technology based on organic-inorganic lead halide perovskites, primarily CH3NH3PbI3 and related halides involving Cl and Br. Debate continues on the role of excitons and free carriers in these materials. Recent studies report values of exciton binding energy for the iodide ranging from 0.7 meV to 200 meV, with vastly different implications for device operation and design. In the present work, previously neglected polarons are shown likely to have a major impact in determining excitonic properties. Polaronic exciton binding energies calculated using effective longitudinal optical phonon energies, deduced from permittivity measurements, are shown consistent with experimental energies for good quality samples of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbBr3, as determined over a large temperature range from optical absorption data. Bandgaps determined simultaneously show a discontinuity at the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition for the iodide, but not for the bromide.
Self-assembled surfactant cyclic peptide nanostructures as stabilizing agents (2013)

A number of cyclic peptides including [FR]<sub>4</sub>, [FK]<sub>4</sub>, [WR]<sub>4</sub>, [CR]<sub>4</sub>, [AK]<sub>4</sub>, and [WK]<sub>n</sub> (n = 3-5) containing L-amino acids were produced using solid-phase peptide synthesis. We hypothesized that an optimal balance of hydrophobicity and charge could generate self-assembled nanostructures in aqueous solution by intramolecular and/or intermolecular interactions. Among all the designed peptides, [WR]<sub>n</sub> (n = 3-5) generated self-assembled vesicle-like nanostructures at room temperature as shown by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and/or dynamic light scattering (DLS). This class of peptides represents the first report of surfactant-like cyclic peptides that self-assemble into nanostructures. A plausible mechanistic insight into the self-assembly of [WR]<sub>5</sub> was obtained by molecular modeling studies. Modified [WR]<sub>5</sub> analogues, such as [W<sub>Me</sub>R]<sub>5</sub>, [WR<sub>(Me)2</sub>]<sub>5</sub>, [W<sub>Me</sub>R<sub>(Me)2</sub>]<sub>5</sub>, and [W<i>d</i>R]<sub>5</sub>, exhibited different morphologies to [WR]<sub>5</sub> as shown by TEM observations. [WR]<sub>5</sub> exhibited a significant stabilizing effect for generated silver nanoparticles and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. These studies established a new class of surfactant-like cyclic peptides that self-assembled into nanostructures and could have potential applications for the stabilization of silver nanoparticles and protein biomolecules.
