An experimental partitioning of the mechanical energy expended during peel testing (1993)

Peeling of polyimide coatings bonded to aluminum substrates was analyzed from a thermodynamic perspective with the intent of determining how the energy expended in separating the bonded materials is consumed. The mechanical work expended and the heat dissipated during peeling were simultaneously measured using deformation calorimetry. The surfaces exposed by peeling were analyzed by electron microscopy and electron spectroscopy. The thermodynamics of tensile drawing for polyimide were studied using deformation calorimetry and thermomechanical analysis. When polyimide coatings were peeled from aluminum substrates at a peel angle of 180°, almost all of the mechanical energy was consumed in propagating the bend through the coating being peeled. The fraction of peel energy dissipated as heat was 48 ± 1.3% and nearly all of the remainder was stored as latent internal energy in the peeled polyimide. When the bend is propagated through aluminum, which has a limited capacity to store latent internal energy, 97-100% of the mechanical energy is dissipated as heat.
Factors affecting outcome in renal cell carcinoma (2010)

Over the last decade, an increase occurred in the number of models that can predict the treated natural history of RCC. Many of these novel models and previously developed models are tested in a head-to-head fashion, with the intent of identifying the most accurate and valuable tools for clinical practice. Novel prognostic factors and more up-to-date models are urgently needed for patients with metastatic RCC, especially in the era of targeted therapies. This should represent the focus of contemporary prognostic modeling in RCC.
A Blockchain-Enabled Incentivised Framework for Cyber Threat Intelligence Sharing in ICS (2022)

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have been targeted increasingly by sophisticated cyberattacks. Improving ICS security has drawn significant attention in the literature that emphasises the importance of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) sharing in accelerating detection, mitigation, and prevention of cyberattacks. However, organisations are reluctant to exchange CTI due to fear of exposure, reputational damage, and lack of incentives. Furthermore, there has been limited discussion about the factors influencing participation in sharing CTI about ICS. The existing CTI-sharing platforms rely on centralised trusted architectures that suffer from a single point of failure and risk companies&#x2019; privacy as the central node maintains CTI details. In this paper, we address the needs of organisations involved in the management and protection of ICS and present a novel framework that facilitates secure, private, and incentivised exchange of CTI related to ICS using blockchain. We propose a blockchain-enabled framework that facilitates the secure dissemination of CTI data among multiple stakeholders in ICS. We provide the framework design, development and evaluate the framework&#x2019;s feasibility in a real-world application environment using practical use-case scenarios. Our proposed design shows a more practical and efficient framework for a CTI sharing network for ICS, including the bestowal and acknowledgment of data privacy, trust barriers, and security issues ingrained in this domain.
A Character-Centric Neural Model for Automated Story Generation (2020)

Automated story generation is a challenging task which aims to automatically generate convincing stories composed of successive plots correlated with consistent characters. Most recent generation models are built upon advanced neural networks, e.g., variational autoencoder, generative adversarial network, convolutional sequence to sequence model. Although these models have achieved prompting results on learning linguistic patterns, very few methods consider the attributes and prior knowledge of the story genre, especially from the perspectives of explainability and consistency. To fill this gap, we propose a character-centric neural storytelling model, where a story is created encircling the given character, i.e., each part of a story is conditioned on a given character and corresponded context environment. In this way, we explicitly capture the character information and the relations between plots and characters to improve explainability and consistency. Experimental results on open dataset indicate that our model yields meaningful improvements over several strong baselines on both human and automatic evaluations.

A Study on Image Enhancement Techniques using YCbCr Color Space Methods (2016)

We propose an image enhancement scheme by using YCBCR color space method. It shows the better feature of the processed input image. The acquired images are classified into three types, word document image, MRI image and scenery image. At first, the acquired inputs are converted to the gray scale to plot with the normalized histogram. Then, using the color space methods, the images are converted into YCBCR characteristics and there components are separated into individual modules (Y, CB, CR components). The processed image separates its in-features of luminance and chrominance components such as Y component, CB component and CR component. In Gray scale image, the Y is said to be the luminance feature also known as single component. In Color image, CB and CR is said to be the chromaticity of blue and red components. Further we find Hue, Saturation and Intensity components are classified from the same samples. Then the proposed technique shows its better performance than the other methods in the enhancement of images corrupted by Gaussian noise. The Experimental result shows that the proposed methods makes good enhancement in visual quality.
Delta divergence: A novel decision cognizant measure of classifier\n incongruence (2016)

Disagreement between two classifiers regarding the class membership of an\nobservation in pattern recognition can be indicative of an anomaly and its\nnuance. As in general classifiers base their decision on class aposteriori\nprobabilities, the most natural approach to detecting classifier incongruence\nis to use divergence. However, existing divergences are not particularly\nsuitable to gauge classifier incongruence. In this paper, we postulate the\nproperties that a divergence measure should satisfy and propose a novel\ndivergence measure, referred to as Delta divergence. In contrast to existing\nmeasures, it is decision cognizant. The focus in Delta divergence on the\ndominant hypotheses has a clutter reducing property, the significance of which\ngrows with increasing number of classes. The proposed measure satisfies other\nimportant properties such as symmetry, and independence of classifier\nconfidence. The relationship of the proposed divergence to some baseline\nmeasures is demonstrated experimentally, showing its superiority.\n
Inhibition of Human Neutrophil Function of Pure Compounds from Ventilago Liarmandiana. (2003)

The crude methanol extract and pure compounds obtained from the heart wood of Ventilago harmandiana exhibited moderate to strong anti-inflammatory activity in the ethylphenylpropiolate (EPP) mouse ear edema model (unpublished data). In the present study, the pure compounds, VR9178 and VR9180, obtained from the heartwood of Ventilago harmandiana were investigated for their activities on neutrophil functions, including neutrophil chemotaxis, superoxide anion generation(SAG),myeloperoxidase production and elastase release. It was found that VR9178 (1-500 μM) and VR9180 (1-500 μM) inhibited fMLP-induced neutrophil chemotaxis in a concentration-dependent .manner with IC50= 9.2 ± 0.8 μM and IC50 = 73.2 ± 10.4 μM respectively. Both VR9178 and VR9180 (1-500 μM) caused a concentration-related inhibition of fMLP-induced SAG with IC50 for VR9178 at 10.7 ± 2.4 μM and for VR9180 at 164.3 ± 15.5 μM. These concentrations of both pure compounds also inhibited fMLP-induced neutrophil myeloperoxidase production in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 = 26.5 ± 0.4 μM and IC50 = 54.7 ± 10.1 μM, respectively. The results also showed the inhibitory effects of VR9178 (1-500 μM) and VR 9180 (1-500 μM) on elastase release, giving IC50 = 28.6 ±6.3 μM and, IC50= 122.8 17.0 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects of both pure compounds were investigated and it was found that cell viability was not significantly affected by the concentrations of the compounds used in these experiments as shown by MTT assay. These findings suggested that inhibition of human neutrophil function by VR 9178, not due to its cytotoxic activity, may be attributed, in part, to its anti-inflammatory activity.

Spin Torque Oscillator With Negative Magnetic Anisotropy Materials for MAMR (2010)

Microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) has recently emerged as a candidate to solve the trilemma in magnetic recording. In MAMR the magnetizations of recording medium can be switched with much lower magnetic field by magnetic resonance, which however requires a higher frequency oscillator than 20 GHz. In this paper, it is described that spin torque oscillator (STO) using a magnetic material with a large negative uniaxial anisotropy has a possibility to generate higher frequency and stable magnetic field and it might be preferable to a conventional oscillator with soft magnetic materials.

Laser window studies. Final technical report, 20 May 1974--15 Aug 1975 (1975)

Laser calorimetry was applied to the determination of absorption coefficients of optical films and a study of commercially available samples of thorium fluoride, arsenic trisulfide, zinc sulfide and zinc selenide films was made. Attenuated total reflection spectroscopy was used to determine absorption behavior of the films between 2.5 ..mu..m and the infrared cutoff of their substrates. Exploratory development of a more sensitive technique for determining wavelength dependence of absorption and scattering began and an intense black body point source was designed and constructed. An apparatus for determining the microhardness of thin films was designed and constructed. Preparation and cleaning procedures were developed which produced optically-figured alkaline earth fluoride surfaces free of microscopically detectable defects. Six two-inch dia polycrystalline strontium fluoride specimens were fabricated into windows by the diamond abrasive polishing technique developed on this program and delivered to the Monitoring Agency.
Macromol. Rapid Commun. 6/2016 (2016)

Back Cover: The minimal polyion complex (PIC) as a single ionomer pair, termed unit PIC, is selectively formed from a small interfering RNA (siRNA) and a block catiomer of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(l-lysine) in a wide range of ionomer concentration. This unit PIC formation is derived from the rigid structure of siRNA, which hampers the multimolecular assembly of PICs. Further details can be found in the article by K. Hayashi, H. Chaya, S. Fukushima, S. Watanabe, H. Takemoto, K. Osada, N. Nishiyama, K. Miyata,* and K. Kataoka* on page 486.
How plants cope with temperature stress (2011)

A cold night can follow a hot day, and because they cannot move, plants subjected to such temperature fluctuations must acclimate on the basis mainly of pre-existing proteins. Zhang et al. report in a paper in BMC Plant Biology, however, that heat-induced cell death results from transcriptional activation of a kinase related to disease resistance factors and leading to a localized hypersensitive response. This specialized response reflects the failure of adaptations that normally enable plants to survive over a remarkable temperature range, by mechanisms that are not fully understood.

Leaf Initiation and Shoot Apical Diameter in Relation to Phase Transition in Cineraria (1998)

SummaryTransition from the juvenile to the competent phase of vegetative development in cineraria cvs Cindy Blue and Cindy Dark Red was coincident with a two-fold increase in leaf initiation rate and the attainment of a critical shoot apical diameter of 0.15-0.18 mm. The base (Tb), optimum (T0) and maximum (Tm) temperatures for leaf initiation in plants grown at constant temperatures in growth rooms were derived to be 3.6, 19.8 and 38.1°C respectively in cv. Cindy Blue, and Tb = 3.6, T0 = 19.7 and Tm = 37.8°C in cv. Cindy Dark Red. The thermal time required for the initiation of each leaf in the juvenile phase was 87°Cd in cv. Cindy Blue and 78°Cd in cv. Cindy Dark Red, calculated from the cardinal temperatures. Juvenile development in cv. Cindy Blue was completed after 6–7 leaves had been initiated, which occurred 565 ± 43°Cd after radicle emergence and in cv. Cindy Dark Red juvenility ended after initiation of 7–8 leaves at 585 ± 39°Cd from radicle emergence. Thermal times for leaf initiation and for the completion of juvenility derived from growth room data were validated in plants grown under variable environmental conditions in glasshouses. Shoot apical diameter (˂0.15-0.18 mm) was linearly related to leaf number in glasshouse-grown plants during juvenile and transition phases regardless of the time of year but after phase transition, this relationship became environmentally dependent.
Physiological and Developmental Capacities of Insect Cell Lines (2018)

In this chapter, the authors discuss cell lines that demonstrate changes in cellular morphology, regulation of multicellular organization, responsiveness to ecdysteroids, and production of specific cellular products. They believe that these are legitimate examples of physiological and developmental capacities of insect cell lines, but each system must be examined critically. A combination of vertebrate growth factors and conditioned medium from insect cell lines leads to physiological functioning of cultured tissues, as in the case of the venom gland of the ant Pseudomyrmex triplarinus. It is fair to state that without ecdysteroid responsive cell lines, progress toward unraveling the early events associated with hormonal action in insects would have been considerably delayed. The Drosophila cell lines that were so valuable in investigating the early effects of ecdysteroid action have also been of considerable use in characterizing hormonally induced enzymatic activities. The influence of ecdysteroids on chitin synthesis and related activities has been tested in several cell lines.
Spiral fibre microbend sensors (1997)

A spiral fibre microbend-loss sensor having definite sensing characteristics is presented. By means of single-mode-fibre embedded metal springs, strain and deformation can be measured with good linearity and reproducibility and with a large dynamic range. The effects of spring parameters (radius, pitch, length) on the sensing performances are analysed and verified experimentally. Numerical simulations for the optimum design are performed.
Heterocyclization of Enediynes Promoted by Sodium Azide: A Case of Ambiguity of X-ray Data and Structure Revision (2014)

It has been shown that contrary to the literature data the tandem cyclization of (Z)-1-aryl-3-hexen-1,5-diynes promoted by sodium azide results in the formation of the corresponding [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines, not 1H-benzotriazole derivatives. Apparently, incorrect structure elucidation made by previous investigators originates from misinterpretation of X-ray data. A number of new transformations of this type as well as X-ray and NMR experiments are discussed.
2008 Fuel Cell Technologies Market Report (2010)

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, water, and heat. Unlike batteries, fuel cells continuously generate electricity, as long as a source of fuel is supplied. Moreover, fuel cells do not burn fuel, making the process quiet, pollution-free and two to three times more efficient than combustion. Fuel cell systems can be a truly zero-emissionsource of electricity, if the hydrogen is produced from non-polluting sources. Global concerns about climate change, energy security, and air pollution are driving demand for fuel cell technology. More than 630 companies and laboratories in the United States are investing $1 billion a year in fuel cells or fuel cell component technologies. This report provides an overview of trends in the fuelcell industry and markets, including product shipments, market development, and corporate performance. It also provides snapshots of select fuel cell companies, including general business strategy and market focus, as well as, financial information for select publicly-traded companies.
"Colorless" artificial reverberation (1960)

An artificial reverberator is described which has a flat amplitude-frequency response and therefore does not alter the spectral balance or “color” of the reverberated sound. Neither does the reverberator add any extraneous hollow, reedy, or metallic qualities or flutter echoes of its own. The number of echoes per second increases with time according to the same law governing the echo statistics of a real room. Thus, it is compatible with the most exacting fidelity requirements in sound recording, home use, and the electroacoustic conversion of auditoriums and theaters, designed primarily for speech, into concert halls. In the last application, the flat amplitude-frequency response of the reverberator minimizes acoustic feedback problems associated with other artificial reverberation devices.

The synthesis of BN-embedded tetraphenes and their photophysical properties (2016)

A series of intensely blue fluorescent BN-embedded tetraphene derivatives have been synthesized by the catalytic cyclization of BN-naphthalenes with alkynes. The BN-tetraphene can be selectively functionalized to give a substituted derivative via bromination followed by a cross-coupling reaction. The electronic and photophysical properties of the novel BN-tetraphene system were investigated using UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, electrochemical cyclic voltammetry, and DFT calculations, which disclosed its distinct electronic and photophysical properties from the analogous hydrocarbon system.
Multi-video summarization based on Video-MMR (2010)

This paper presents a novel and effective approach for multi-video summarization: Video Maximal Marginal Relevance (Video-MMR), which extends a classical algorithm of text summarization, Maximal Marginal Relevance. Video-MMR rewards relevant keyframes and penalizes redundant keyframes, as MMR does with text fragments. Two variants of Video-MMR are suggested, and we propose a criterion to select the best combination of parameters for Video-MMR. Then, we compare two summarization strategies: Global Summarization, which summarizes all the individual videos at the same time, and Individual Summarization, which summarizes each individual video independently and concatenates the results. Finally, Video-MMR algorithm is compared with popular K-means algorithm, supported by user-made summary.
Fair Algorithms for Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (2020)

Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) algorithms are extensively utilized in modern data science, and seek to partition the dataset into clusters while generating a hierarchical relationship between the data samples. HAC algorithms are employed in many applications, such as biology, natural language processing, and recommender systems. Thus, it is imperative to ensure that these algorithms are fair -- even if the dataset contains biases against certain protected groups, the cluster outputs generated should not discriminate against samples from any of these groups. However, recent work in clustering fairness has mostly focused on center-based clustering algorithms, such as k-median and k-means clustering. In this paper, we propose fair algorithms for performing HAC that enforce fairness constraints 1) irrespective of the distance linkage criteria used, 2) generalize to any natural measures of clustering fairness for HAC, 3) work for multiple protected groups, and 4) have competitive running times to vanilla HAC. Through extensive experiments on multiple real-world UCI datasets, we show that our proposed algorithm finds fairer clusterings compared to vanilla HAC as well as other state-of-the-art fair clustering approaches.
“Plug and play” quantum key distribution system with differential phase shift (2003)

We propose a “plug and play” scheme for the long-distance fiber-based cryptosystem based on the differential phase shift quantum key distribution, where any birefringence effects and polarization-dependent losses in the transmission fiber are automatically compensated by using a Faraday mirror. This system not only has stable performance but also creates keys 8/3 times more efficiently than the conventional cryptosystem based on the BB84 protocol.

Nano‐tailoring the Surface Structure for the Monolithic High‐Performance Antireflection Polymer Film (2010)

Nano-tailoring the shape and dimensions of the parabolic antireflective structure predicted by simulation has been successfully carried out to fabricate monolithic high-performance antireflection (AR) polymer films. The average total reflectivity from an artificial antireflection film is lowered down to 0.64% at a wavelength range of 400 nm to 800 nm, which appears to be the best antireflection performance ever reported for transparent polymer antireflection films.
