Designing Grid-based problem solving environments and portals (2005)

Building problem solving environments in the emerging national-scale Computational Grid infrastructure is a challenging task. Accessing advanced Grid services, such as authentication, remote access to computers, resource management, and directory services, is usually not a simple matter for problem solving environment developers. The Commodity Grid project is working to overcome this difficulty by creating what we call Commodity Grid Toolkits (CoG Kits) that define mappings and interfaces between the Grid and particular commodity frameworks familiar to problem solving environment developers. We explain why CoG Kits are important for problem solving environment developers, describe the design and implementation of a Java CoG Kit, and use examples to illustrate how CoG Kits can enable new approaches to application development based on the integrated use of commodity and Grid technologies.
Recurrent Penile Fracture—Case Report and Alternative Surgical Approach (2018)

There is no evidence indicating the superiority of non-absorbable sutures. Bovine pericardium reinforcement over the sutured area was used to minimize the chance of another recurrence. More studies are necessary to investigate its safety and efficacy in this scenario. Nascimento B, Guglielmetti GB, Miranda EP, et al.

Generation of 5 W continuous-wave green power at 531 nm based on a frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO4 micro-laser pumped into the emitting level at 879 nm (2005)

A compact green-light source with 5.1 W at 531 nm and 0.31 overall optical-to-optical efficiency, based on an intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO4 micro-laser that is pumped by diode laser directly into the emitting level, is described.
Modelagem sísmica time-lapse com base em simulação de fluxo em reservatórios (2007)

We link the flow simulation with seismic time-lapse through rock physics and seismic modeling. Our goal is to&lt;br&gt;examine the main permeability barrier effects on seismic response using the flow simulations. To explore this problem, we have made some injection experiments, using water and gas, in a simple reservoir model. The results show that the presence of such barriers can increase fluid pore pressure changing the bulk modulus in the regions with such barriers. They show also that the gas flow and the impermeability barrier degree can help us to understand how barriers act on seismic response and, thus, give us information in order to reduce uncertainty.
Translation caching (2010)

This paper explores the design space of MMU caches that accelerate virtual-to-physical address translation in processor architectures, such as x86-64, that use a radix tree page table. In particular, these caches accelerate the page table walk that occurs after a miss in the Translation Lookaside Buffer. This paper shows that the most effective MMU caches are translation caches, which store partial translations and allow the page walk hardware to skip one or more levels of the page table.
Pharmacological protection of NSAID- induced intestinal permeability in the rat: effect of tempo and metronidazole as potential free radical scavengers (1997)

Recently, NSAID-induced changes in both the structure and function of the distal intestine have been found to occur more frequently and with greater toxicological significance than previously thought. We have previously validated a suitable animal model to evaluate intestinal permeability changes using orally administered 51Cr-EDTA that correlates with intestinal ulceration. In this study we investigated the suitability of metronidazole and the nitroxide stable free radical scavenger (tempo) as protective agents against NSAID-induced intestinal permeability. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were dosed with two doses of metronidazole (50 mg/kg, 12 and 1 h pre-NSAID) or a single 100 mg/kg dose of tempo 1 h prior to NSAIDs. The urinary excretion of the orally administered marker 51Cr-EDTA was measured. Both tempo and metronidazole dramatically reduced indomethacin (20 mg/kg) and flurbiprofen (10 mg/kg)-induced intestinal permeability. All the animals exposed to indomethacin alone died within 48-96 h and presented with histological evidence of drug-induced enteropathy, ulceration and frank peritonitis. Protection by tempo and metronidazole suggests that free radicals and/or bacteria may be important mediators in the pathogenesis of intestinal mucosal damage induced by NSAIDs. Nitric oxide donor compounds used concomitantly with NSAIDs may protect gastrointestinal tract.
Discovering associations between adverse drug events using pattern structures and ontologies (2017)

Patient data, such as electronic health records or adverse event reporting systems, constitute an essential resource for studying Adverse Drug Events (ADEs). We explore an original approach to identify frequently associated ADEs in subgroups of patients. Because ADEs have complex manifestations, we use formal concept analysis and its pattern structures, a mathematical framework that allows generalization using domain knowledge formalized in medical ontologies. Results obtained with three different settings and two different datasets show that this approach is flexible and allows extraction of association rules at various levels of generalization. The chosen approach permits an expressive representation of a patient ADEs. Extracted association rules point to distinct ADEs that occur in a same group of patients, and could serve as a basis for a recommandation system. The proposed representation is flexible and can be extended to make use of additional ontologies and various patient records.
F.R.A.M.E - FACIAL REMOTE ACTIVITY MONITORING EYEWEAR (2017)

We take for granted the ability to smile, kiss, or close our eyes at night, all of which can be affected by facial paralysis. This condition may strike anyone at any time, regardless of age or gender. The project aims to develop a pair of glasses that discreetly provides real-time feedback to the wearer about their facial muscle function, helping them practice their rehabilitative exercises regularly and correctly, thereby speeding recovery of normal, symmetric facial expressions. The glasses will contain all the required EMG sensors in a compact form factor, they will provide sensor data to a mobile application installed on a mobile phone or tablet. The mobile application will provide daily exercises and feedback to allow the patients to monitor their own progress through the rehabilitation process and will also pass on valuable information to therapists via a website. Therapists will monitor the progress of their patients and adjust exercise routines as required. They will also provide feedback through in application messaging and feedback tools while providing in depth analysis tools to spot potential problems such as synkinesis.
Switching of Slow Magnetic Relaxation Dynamics in Mononuclear Dysprosium(III) Compounds with Charge Density (2016)

The symmetry around a Dy ion is recognized to be a crucial parameter dictating magnetization relaxation dynamics. We prepared two similar square-antiprismatic complexes, [Dy(LOMe)2(H2O)2](PF6) (1) and Dy(LOMe)2(NO3) (2), where LOMe = [CpCo{P(O)(O(CH3))2}3], including either two neutral water molecules (1) or an anionic nitrate ligand (2). We demonstrated that in this case relaxation dynamics is dramatically affected by the introduction of a charged ligand, stabilizing the easy axis of magnetization along the nitrate direction. We also showed that the application of either a direct-current field or chemical dilution effectively stops quantum tunneling in the ground state of 2, thereby increasing the relaxation time by over 3 orders of magnitude at 3.5 K.
Direct vision valvulotomy for nonreversed vein graft. (1987)

A new and easy technique using an angioscope in a nonreversed, isolated vein bypass is suggested herein. Direct vision valvulotomy with an angioscope in nonreversed vein graft saves operating time, prevents tearing of the vein wall and inaccurate incision of the valves.
The Radiographic Morphology of Foot Deformities in Patients with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (2005)

Foot pathology in patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva is variable but consistently involves an abnormality of the tibial aspect of the proximal phalangeal epiphysis of the hallux. This results in the clinical observation of hallux valgus in these patients. The first metatarsal is consistently shortened, and fusion between the epiphysis of the abnormal proximal phalanx and the shortened first metatarsal head occurs with advancing age.
Design and Development of a Mechanical Variable Valve Actuation System (2000)

&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Compromises inherent with fixed valve lift and event timing have prompted engine designers to consider Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) systems for many decades. In recent years, some relatively basic forms of VVA have been introduced into production engines. Greater performance and driveability expectations of customers, more stringent emission regulations set by government legislators, and the mutual desire for higher fuel economy are increasingly at odds. As a solution, many OEM companies are seriously considering large-scale application of higher function VVA mechanisms in their next generation vehicles.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This paper describes the continuing development progress of a mechanical VVA system. Design features and operation of the mechanism are explained. Test results are presented in two sections: motored cylinder head test data focuses on VVA system friction, control system performance, valve lift and component stress. Dynamometer results from a four-cylinder test engine focus on fuel consumption, emissions, torque and combustion stability characteristics. The paper finishes with a description of proposed future activities.&lt;/div&gt;
AtuR is a repressor of acyclic terpene utilization (Atu) gene cluster expression and specifically binds to two 13 bp inverted repeat sequences of  the atuA-atuR intergenic region (2010)

The atuR-atuABCDEFGH gene cluster is essential for acyclic terpene utilization (Atu) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas citronellolis. The cluster encodes most proteins of the Atu pathway including the key enzyme, geranyl-CoA carboxylase. AtuR was identified as a repressor of the atu gene cluster expression by (1) amino acid similarity to TetR repressor family members, (2) constitutive expression of Atu proteins in the atuR insertion mutant and (3) specific binding of purified AtuR homodimers to the atuR-atuA intergenic region in electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Two 13 bp inverted repeat sequences separated by 40 bp in the atuA operator/promoter region were identified to represent two sites of AtuR binding by EMSA. Changing of two or more bases within the inverted repeat sequences abolished the ability of AtuR to bind to its target. All EMSA experiments were sufficiently sensitive with ethidium bromide-stained DNA fragments after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
A flexible infrastructure for delivering augmented reality enabled transcranial magnetic stimulation. (2006)

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the process in which electrical activity in the brain is influenced by a pulsed magnetic field. Common practice is to align an electromagnetic coil with points of interest identified on the surface of the brain, from an MRI scan of the subject. The coil can be tracked using optical sensors, enabling the targeting information to be calculated and displayed on a local workstation. In this paper we explore the hypothesis that using an Augmented Reality (AR) interface for TMS will improve the efficiency of carrying out the procedure. We also aim to provide a flexible infrastructure that if required, can seamlessly deploy processing power from a remote high performance computing resource.
Viral clones from the GOS expedition with an unusual photosystem-I gene cassette organization (2012)

Cyanobacteria have a key role in marine photosynthesis, which contributes to the global carbon cycle and to the world oxygen supply. Genes encoding for photosystem-II (PSII) and photosystem-I (PSI) reaction centers are found in different cyanophage genomes, and it was suggested that the horizontal transfer of these genes might be involved in increasing phage fitness. We have further analyzed a rare viral Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) clone containing PSI genes. This clone contains the unusual PSI gene organization psaD->C->A, as opposed to the more frequently observed viral psaJF->C->A->B->K->E->D organization, and was detected only once in the GOS metagenome. Our analyses identified more occurrences with similar arrangement and indicate that this PSI viral gene organization (now psaD->C->A->B), although rare, is authentic and represents a new PSI gene arrangement.
Helical Micro-Drill Point Design and Grinding (1995)

A new drill point geometry, termed the helical drill point, specifically intended for micro-drills, is developed in order to alleviate the disadvantages of existing planar micro-drill points. A mathematical model for this new drill point has been established. It is shown that this model is more general than existing drill point models. The commonly used conical, cylindrical and planar drill point models are only special cases of the helical model. For uniquely determining the grinding parameters of the new drill point as well as guiding the grinder design, the characteristics, the controllability and the sensitivity of the grinding parameters have been analyzed. Finally the geometric characteristics of this new drill point are investigated.
Collision Avoidance Control Law of Aircraft under Uncertain Information (2003)

This paper describes a collision avoidance problem of aircraft. In a conventional avoidance problem, there is an assumption that target information is certain. However, information may not be always certain in reality, and handling of uncertain information has not been discussed. Therefore, new control law is proposed to deal with uncertain information and to get correct information. The uncertainty depending on position, which is defined in the inertial or relative coordinate system, is dealt with in this paper. To cover each coordinate system, proposed control law is applied to ‘corner problem’ and ‘in-fog problem’, respectively. Several elements are defined in order to express uncertainty of target information. Simulation results show that the severe avoidance by conventional law is improved and to be obtained satisfactory performance by dealing with uncertain information.
Nitrogen Fertilization of Maize on an Oxisol of the Cerrado of Brazil1 (1980)

Abstract Information about N management for crop production on the highly weathered, tropical Oxisols is limited. Six crops of ‘Cargill 111’ maize ( Zea mays L.) were planted on an Oxisol (Typic Haplustox, fine, kaolinitic, isohyperthermic) of the Cerrado of Brazil to 1) define the N fertilizer response curve; 2) estimate increase in N content of aboveground dry matter per unit fertilizer; 3) estimate soil N supply; 4) determine the effects of timing of application on yield and N recovery; and 5) compare conventional and S‐coated urea. Treatments included sidedressed urea at 0, 60, 80, 100, and 140 kg/ha with 20 kg/ha applied at planting and the remainder 30 days later, sidedressed urea at 100, 140, and 220 kg/ha with 20 kg/ha applied at planting and the remainder equally split and applied 20 and 60 days later, 100 kg/ha lime‐coated NH 4 NO 3 and 140 kg/ha sulfur‐coated urea. Grain and stover yields were measured for each crop and subsamples collected for N analysis. Soil samples were collected throughout the experiment and analyzed for organic N. Yield increased significantly with N fertilization. Average maximum grain yield of 6.1 metric tons/ ha resulted from application of 203 kg/ha N. Recovery of fertilizer N varied with application rate from 60% at 60 kg/ha to 35% at 220 kg/ha. A single application of fertilizer 30 days after planting produced the same yield and N recovery as split applications at 20 and 60 days. Neither Scoated urea nor lime‐coated NH 4 NO 3 produced greater yield or N recovery than conventional urea. Average N content of above‐ground dry matter at maximum yield was 1.18%. Average uptake of soil N was 70 kg/ha/crop. There appears to be no fundamental difference in response of maize to N fertilizer between Oxisols and soils of the temperate regions.
Video compression and rate control methods based on the wavelet transform (2004)

Wavelet-based image and video compression techniques have become popular areas in the research community.In March of 2000, the Joint Pictures Expert Group (JPEG) released JPEG2000.JPEG2000 is a wavelet-based image compression standard and predicted to completely replace the original JPEG standard.In the video compression field, a compression technique called 3D wavelet compression shows promise.Thus, wavelet-based compression techniques have received more attention from the research community.This dissertation involves further investigation of the wavelet transform in the compression of image and video signals, and a rate control method for real-time transfer of wavelet-based compressed video.A pre-processing algorithm based on the wavelet transform is developed for the removal of noise in images prior to compression.The intelligent removal of noise reduces the entropy of the original signal, aiding in compressibility.The proposed wavelet-based denoising method shows a computational speedup of at least an order of magnitude than previously established image denoising methods and a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).A video denoising algorithm is also included which eliminates both intra-and inter-frame noise.The inter-frame noise removal technique estimates the amount of motion in the image sequence.Using motion and noise level estimates, a video
Temperature dependence of species concentrations near the substrate during diamond chemical vapor deposition (1993)

Measurements have been made of the temperature dependence of CH3, CH4, and C2H2 very near the substrate during filament-assisted diamond growth. CH3 was detected using (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI), and CH4 and C2H2 concentrations were measured using sampling mass spectrometry. A strong dependence of the CH3 REMPI signal on substrate temperature was observed, which at low temperatures may be characterized as having an activation energy of approximately 4±1 kcal/mole. Methane and acetylene, on the other hand, are relatively independent of substrate temperature. These results are most likely due to recombination of methyl to methane or ethane in the cool gas layer near the substrate or on the surface at low substrate temperatures.
Risk of Herpes Zoster in Relation to Body Mass Index Among Residents Aged ≥50 Years: The Shozu Herpes Zoster Study (2021)

Being overweight was associated with a lower incidence of herpes zoster than being normal weight in older Japanese women.
Synthesis, Characterization, and Functionalization of Tetrafunctional Double-Decker Siloxanes (2019)

Novel tetravinyl- and tetraallyl-substituted closed double-decker siloxanes (DDSQs) were synthesized and characterized, and their structures were elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Moreover, it was shown that peripheral olefins could successfully undergo hydrosilylation quantitatively. Such tetrafunctionalizable DDSQs (DDSQ-Vinyl<sub>4</sub> and DDSQ-Allyl<sub>4</sub>) thus constitute promising building blocks for more complex inorganic-organic hybrid materials.
Glycoprotein Ibα–Mediated Platelet Adhesion and Aggregation to Immobilized Thrombin Under Conditions of Flow (2005)

These results indicate that platelets are able to adhere to thrombin under flow conditions, which is dependent on the interaction with GPIbalpha.
Generating highly-routable sparse crossbars for PLDs (2000)

A method for evaluating and constructing sparse crossbars which are both area efficient and highly routable is presented. The evaluation method uses a network flow algorithm to accurately compute the percentage of random test vectors that can be routed. The construction method attempts to maximize the spread of the switch locations, such that any given subset of input wires can connect to as many output wires as possible. Based on Hall's Theorem, we argue that this increases the likelihood of routing.
Rapid, Noninvasive Diagnosis of Balamuthia mandrillaris Encephalitis by a Plasma-Based Next-Generation Sequencing Test (2020)

Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) caused by <i>Balamuthia mandrillaris</i> is a rare subacute infection with exceptionally high mortality. Diagnosis is typically made by brain biopsy or at autopsy. Detection of <i>Balamuthia mandrillaris</i> cell-free DNA by next-generation sequencing of plasma enabled rapid, noninvasive diagnosis in a case of amoebic encephalitis.
Associations between race and survival in pediatric patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (2021)

Our results suggest that racial disparities in survival may be mediated by clinical and treatment parameters.
L2P NOOB: Examining Tutorials in Digital Games (2012)

It has been well-noted that contemporary digital games tend to design for a relatively high skill threshold engineered to appease a well-entrenched and digitally literate audience (Hayes, 2005). Such design practices, however, serve to disenfranchise new and novice players wanting to learn to play. This novice-expert divide is a significant barrier to entry for individuals wanting to play digital games, and given that digital games are seeing increased use in pedagogical contexts (Akilli, 2007; Becker, 2007; Nieborg, 2011; Shelton, Satwicz, & Caswell, 2011; Ulicsak, 2010), such skill-based barriers further complicate the seamless incorporation of digital games into the classroom. In an effort to explore how we might bridge the gap between new and weathered players, I created three tutorials for World of Warcraft (2004) in an attempt to improve the existing tutorials for newer entrants to the game. These new tutorials offered different modalities of instruction, as well as instructional strategies in assisting newer players. Tutorials were designed using the Structured Sound Functions (SSF) model of instructional design, following the Attentional Control Theory of Multimedia Learning (ACTML). The tutorials were then analyzed for their effects on play outcomes, player engagement, and player motivations using the Dick and Carey (2011) three-stage model of formative evaluation. This work thus makes two important contributions. First, this research conducts a much-needed in-depth study of game tutorials, which is an area yet to be well-charted in the disciplines of either education or games studies. Secondly, by analyzing the results of the formative evaluation, I conclude that players react favorably to a faded or “just-in-time” instructional strategy—an approach to player scaffolding which showed significantly increased motivation for play, engagement, and play mastery among novice participants. Implications for game design and future research are discussed.
In vitro studies of gas bubble formation by mechanical heart valves. (1999)

These results show that stable gas bubbles can form during mechanical heart valve operation. The bubbles likely form from the combined effects of gaseous nuclei formed by cavitation, low-pressure regions associated with regurgitant flow, and the presence of CO2, a highly soluble gas.
