Spatio-temporal analysis of irregular vocal fold oscillations: Biphonation due to desynchronization of spatial modes (2001)

This report is on direct observation and modal analysis of irregular spatio-temporal vibration patterns of vocal fold pathologies in vivo. The observed oscillation patterns are described quantitatively with multiline kymograms, spectral analysis, and spatio-temporal plots. The complex spatio-temporal vibration patterns are decomposed by empirical orthogonal functions into independent vibratory modes. It is shown quantitatively that biphonation can be induced either by left-right asymmetry or by desynchronized anterior-posterior vibratory modes, and the term "AP (anterior-posterior) biphonation" is introduced. The presented phonation examples show that for normal phonation the first two modes sufficiently explain the glottal dynamics. The spatio-temporal oscillation pattern associated with biphonation due to left-right asymmetry can be explained by the first three modes. Higher-order modes are required to describe the pattern for biphonation induced by anterior-posterior vibrations. Spatial irregularity is quantified by an entropy measure, which is significantly higher for irregular phonation than for normal phonation. Two asymmetry measures are introduced: the left-right asymmetry and the anterior-posterior asymmetry, as the ratios of the fundamental frequencies of left and right vocal fold and of anterior-posterior modes, respectively. These quantities clearly differentiate between left-right biphonation and anterior-posterior biphonation. This paper proposes methods to analyze quantitatively irregular vocal fold contour patterns in vivo and complements previous findings of desynchronization of vibration modes in computer modes and in in vitro experiments.
Mapping Selection and Code Construction for 2^m-ary Polar-Coded Modulation (2012)

This paper proposes a mapping strategy and a code construction method for 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">m</sup> -ary polar-coded modulation. In order to find a good mapping for a polar code in an efficient way, we reduce a search space for mapping patterns by exploiting the properties of its polarizing matrix. Once a mapping is selected, the set of unfrozen information bits to define a polar code is automatically determined. Numerical results show that our approach can provide a performance gain of about 0.3-0.5 dB over a conventional approach using random mapping and the polar code optimized for binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation, when pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) with Gray labelling is employed.
Comparison and development of machine learning tools in the prediction of chronic kidney disease progression (2019)

Blood-derived tests could be applied as non-urinary predictors during outpatient follow-up. Features in routine blood tests, including ALB, Scr, TG, LDL and EGFR levels, showed predictive ability for CKD severity. The developed online tool can facilitate the prediction of proteinuria progress during follow-up in clinical practice.
Index of commercial flocculants - 1974 (1975)

The primary aim of this Index is to assist the worker in selecting a broad range of flocculants for laboratory evaluations as to optimize solid-liquid separation applications: by applying the principle of pre-screening, the number of bench tests required to cover the range can be reduced to a minimum. Information contained in the tables was acquired from the manufacturers, directly and through technical bulletins, and was supplemented by additional data as reported in the literature or obtained from bench-scale evaluation tests carried out in the Western Research Laboratory. It is anticipated that a survey of new developments in the industry will be maintained and that periodic revisions of the Index will be issued.
FLOODING TOLERANCE IN SPINACH (Spinacia oleracea L.) (1990)

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) varies in tolerance to saturated soil conditions. Plant vigor was assessed for plants flooded in autoclaved and nonautoclaved field soil. Decline of vigor was more rapid for plants flooded in nonautoclaved field soil, indicating that flooding tolerance may be influenced by soil borne pathogens.
Mobile Identity Management: An Enacted View (2003)

The growth of mobile business requires the ability to provide context-aware services when and where needed, the development of trust relationships between trading partners, and an ever-expanding capability to reconfigure value chains. These issues are becoming more prominent with the emergence of converged architectures for next-generation public networks. The integration of the Internet, traditional telephony networks, and consumer electronics brings mobile business to the forefront. In this context, mobile identity management can play a central role in addressing usability and trust issues in mobile business. For this reason, it is being established as a core service for next-generation mobile telecommunications infrastructures. Mobile identity management is used to identify, acquire, access, and pay for services that follow the user from device to device, location to location, and context to context, and thus it is the network component that holds together novel services on novel networks using innovative business models. In contrast to previous-generation mobile business infrastructures, this represents a pivotal shift in focus from identification to identity. The present paper advocates that this shift calls for an enacted view of technology, since the level of involvement of human qualities is unprecedented when discussing identity. It introduces a view of identit y in mobile business based on three principles and finds that this approach is useful in explaining some recent research findings in ubiquitous retailing. Widening the discipline boundaries for future research on identity in mobile business will be essential for the development of effective mobile service provision systems.
Focusing of an ultrashort pulse through a multimode fiber using Digital Phase Conjugation (2014)

We demonstrate a technique to generate an ultrashort focused pulse through a multimode fiber using digital phase conjugation. We compensate for spatial and temporal distortions due to modal dispersion by a selective phase conjugation process, where modes of similar propagation constants are spatially controlled to form a focus.
SMCHD1 variants may induce variegated expression in Facio Scapulo Humeral Dystophy and Bosma Arhinia and microphtalmia syndrome (2021)

Abstract An expanding number of genetic syndromes are linked to mutations in genes encoding factors that guide chromatin organization. Recently, distinct genetic syndromes have been linked to mutations in the SMCHD1 gene. However, the function of this non-canonical SMC protein remains partly defined in Human tissues. To address this question, we determined its epi-signature in type 2 Facio Scapulo Humeral Dystrophy (FSHD2) and Bosma Arhinia and Microphtalmia Syndrome (BAMS) linked to heterozygous mutations in this gene. By combining RNA-Seq, DNA methylation profiling and ChIP-Seq, we showed that SMCHD1 regulates repressed chromatin but also cis -regulatory elements and enhancers. Our results emphasize dual functions for SMCHD1, in chromatin compaction, chromatin insulation and gene regulation with variable outcomes and targets depending on tissues. We propose that altered DNA methylation and long-range chromatin organization at a number of loci required for development and tissue differentiation, trigger variegated gene expression in rare genetic diseases linked to heterozygous SMCHD1 mutations.

Approximating the distance to monotonicity in high dimensions (2010)

In this article we study the problem of approximating the distance of a function f : [ n ] d → R to monotonicity where [ n ] = {1,…, n } and R is some fully ordered range. Namely, we are interested in randomized sublinear algorithms that approximate the Hamming distance between a given function and the closest monotone function. We allow both an additive error, parameterized by δ, and a multiplicative error. Previous work on distance approximation to monotonicity focused on the one-dimensional case and the only explicit extension to higher dimensions was with a multiplicative approximation factor exponential in the dimension d . Building on Goldreich et al. [2000] and Dodis et al. [1999], in which there are better implicit results for the case n =2, we describe a reduction from the case of functions over the d -dimensional hypercube [ n ] d to the case of functions over the k -dimensional hypercube [ n ] k , where 1≤ k ≤ d . The quality of estimation that this reduction provides is linear in ⌈ d / k ⌉ and logarithmic in the size of the range | R | (if the range is infinite or just very large, then log | R | can be replaced by d log n ). Using this reduction and a known distance approximation algorithm for the one-dimensional case, we obtain a distance approximation algorithm for functions over the d -dimensional hypercube, with any range R , which has a multiplicative approximation factor of O ( d log | R |). For the case of a binary range, we present algorithms for distance approximation to monotonicity of functions over one dimension, two dimensions, and the k -dimensional hypercube (for any k ≥ 1). Applying these algorithms and the reduction described before, we obtain a variety of distance approximation algorithms for Boolean functions over the d -dimensional hypercube which suggest a trade-off between quality of estimation and efficiency of computation. In particular, the multiplicative error ranges between O ( d ) and O (1).
Anti‐imm_unoglobulin E antibody treatment blocks histamine release and tissue contraction in sensitized mice (1998)

Inhibition of antigen-specific IgE response has been shown to lead to amelioration of allergic disease symptoms. In an effort to design a therapy aimed at decreasing IgE levels, we reported previously that treatment of mice with an anti-IgE antibody coincident with the primary antigen immunization resulted in significant decreases in antigen-specific IgE synthesis, without substantially altering IgG levels. In the present study, we employed this mouse model and a surrogate antibody to investigate the capacity of anti-IgE treatment to block an established IgE response in vivo. Results of these experiments suggest that anti-IgE treatment concomitant with an antigen boost results in removal of detectable circulating IgE for at least 7 weeks (the duration of the study). Moreover, tissues removed from mice following anti-IgE treatment failed to release histamine and contract in response to antigen challenge ex vivo. These findings demonstrate that reduction of circulating IgE correlates to an inhibition of tissue mast cell sensitization and mediator release in response to antigen challenge and further supports the concept of anti-IgE treatment as a promising therapy for the treatment of allergic disease.
Raman self-focusing at maximum coherence (2002)

We demonstrate a type of Raman self-focusing and -defocusing that is inherent in operation at maximum coherence. In this regime the two-photon detuning from the Raman resonance controls the refractive index of the medium.
Digital image stabilization by adaptive block motion vectors filtering (2002)

This paper presents a robust algorithm for video sequence stabilization. Motion estimation is achieved using block motion vectors. In this way, the motion estimator of the MPEG encoder can be used. The simple use of block motion vectors can give unreliable global motion vectors and so elaborations are done to make the algorithm robust.
Synthesis of 8-Heteroaryl-2′-deoxyguanosine Derivatives (2008)

We describe the synthesis of 8-heteroaromatic-2'-deoxyguanosine analogues using Suzuki-Miyaura or Stille conditions. Unprotected and protected 8-bromo-2'-deoxyguanosine was coupled with commercially available heteroarylboronic acids or the trialkyltin derivatives of 2-pyridylbromides either with or without microwave irradiation in good yields.
Spot-size converted polarization-insensitive SOA gate with a vertical tapered submicrometer stripe structure (1998)

To develop polarization-insensitive semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) gates into more efficient and functional optical components by using hybrid integration with a planer lightwave circuit (PLC) platform, vertical tapered spot-size converters were integrated into a SOA gate with a narrow mesa-stripe structure of submicrometer width leading to low coupling loss (2.6 dB). Very-low polarization dependence of gain (<0.2 dB) and high extinction ratio (>30 dB) were achieved in a wide wavelength range (40 nm). High-speed (<1 us) gate operation was also demonstrated. These results indicate that the spot-size converted SOA integrated on a PLC platform will perform well in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) applications.
Dialysis-fixed-bed Cultures for Highly Efficient Production of Chimeric Fab-fragments with Transfec Toma Cells in Protein-free Medium (2006)

The extremely shear sensitivetransfectoma cell line FAB#10, producing a chimeric Fab-antibody fragment specific for the human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), was cultivated in fixed bed reactors, were the cells were immobilized in macroporous carriers. As the cell line had a very low productivity, the fixed bed reactors were coupled with dialysis membranes, were low molecular weight metabolites are removed through the membrane and high molecular products are enriched. In fixed bed systems the cell line was stable during long term cultures. With the dialysis technique Fab-concentrations up to 8,000 μg l−1 could be obtained, appr. 16 times higher compared to fixed bed cultures without dialysis or batch cultures with suspended cells. If nutrients are supplied through the membrane, a high loss of nutrients has to be considered. In a novel “nutrient-split” feeding strategy concentrated medium is fed directly to the fixed bed unit, whereas a buffer solution is used as dialysisfluid. This feeding strategy reduces the required medium per mg of product significantly.
Studies on the Mitochondrial Adenosine Triphosphatase System (1968)

Abstract An oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase complex has been purified from bovine heart mitochondria by ammonium sulfate fractionation in presence of bile salts. With the exception of flavin and a small amount of cytochromes b and c1 the preparation is devoid of electron transfer components. The catalytic properties of the ATPase complex as judged by sensitivity to various inhibitors, specificity toward triphosphonucleotides, and activation by metals are not changed during the course of the isolation from sub-mitochondrial particles. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex has been further resolved into two fractions. One of these is a soluble ATPase enzyme which is not inhibited by oligomycin and is cold inactivated. This water-soluble enzyme has been identified with the previously isolated F1. Analysis of the protein components of the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel indicates that the enzyme complex contains in addition to the set of proteins characteristic of F1, two proteins that are not referable to F1.
Coating charcoal with polyacrylate-polymethacrylate copolymer for haemoperfusion. I: Fabrication and evaluation (1992)

A potential haemoperfusion system has been developed using activated charcoal encapsulated with a polyacrylate-polymethacrylate copolymer. The film forms a coating of great mechanical strength around the charcoal particles, which is readily permeable to water and certain dissolved substances. The charcoal granules were coated with various membrane thicknesses consisting of a 2-10 per cent (by weight) film coat, using the modified method of non-solvent addition of Benita et al. (1985). The effect of various encapsulation variables such as stirring rate, rate of addition of non-solvent, percentage of coating polymer and concentration of a non-wall-forming polymer (PIB) in the non-solvent phase on adsorptivity, as well as the release of fine particles, were determined. The effect of coating thickness on the adsorption rate of the coated charcoal was investigated by constructing Higuchi diffusion model plots using methylene blue as a model adsorbate. It was found that the membrane permeability can be adjusted by changing experimental conditions to obtain high adsorption capacity along with a low level of released particles. Further, the effect of presoaking of the coated charcoal in purified water, normal saline, and 0.067 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (for 24 h at 37 degrees C) on the rate of adsorption of methylene blue was also evaluated.
Run-to-Run Evolution of Fluorocarbon Radicals in C[sub 4]F[sub 8] Plasmas Interacting with Cold and Hot Inner Walls (2000)

In order to clarify the cause of poor reproducibility of the high‐aspect‐ratio contact/via hole etching using high‐density plasmas, interactions between radical species in fluorocarbon plasmas and the inner wall of the reactor have been studied. In this paper time‐dependent evolution of wall temperatures, total pressure, and radical densities in (inductively coupled plasma) generated in both cold and hot wall reactors have been investigated and their correlations are discussed. The temperature rise of the reactor wall during plasma operation causes the decomposition of fluorocarbon polymer films which are formed from higher order fluorocarbon radicals as well as lower order radicals into lower order radicals, and consequently plasma parameters such as the pressure and radical densities fluctuate. Though intensive water cooling of the whole reactor achieved good reproducibility, a thick polymer film deposition on the wall causes another problem of particle contamination. On the other hand, wall heating at high temperatures actually suppresses polymer deposition, but it has been found that the conversion from higher order radicals to lower order radicals still occurs on the wall. The radical is predominantly produced in cold wall reactors, while the radical appeared rapidly with wall temperatures of 220–240°C, and the density equaled the radical density around 250°C. This implies that an excess amount of both radicals possibly influences the gas‐phase chemistry in the plasma and degrades the reproducibility even in a hot wall reactor. © 2000 The Electrochemical Society.

Critical-angle scattering of white light from a cylindrical bubble in glass: photographs of colors and computations (1983)

A novel effect in the scattering of white light from bubbles consists of colored bands that appear near the critical scattering angle. The bands were photographed in the far-zone scattering from a cylindrical bubble in glass. Their existence is associated with the coarse structure present in the exact scattered intensity. A digital Butterworth filter was developed to remove (from computed intensities) fine structures that are lost when the optical bandwidth is large. The colors are found to be due to the combined effects of interference and diffraction (near the critical scattering angle) and dispersion of the refractive index. Coarse structures were previously modeled in the monochromatic scattering from spherical air bubbles in water. Colors are also to be expected in the appearance of clouds of bubbles in water. Such colors were reported [ PulfrichC., Ann. Phys. Chem. (Leipzig)33, 209 ( 1888)]. Some implications for the optical measurement of bubble size and surface quality are noted.
A fault diagnosis approach for airborne fuel pump based on EMD and probabilistic neural networks (2016)

Airborne fuel pump is an important part of aircraft fuel system, for the lack of fault samples, low diagnostic efficiency and high maintenance cost, in order to achieve more accurate and reliable fault diagnosis of airborne fuel pump, an experimental platform of fuel transfusion system is developed and a fault diagnosis method based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and probabilistic neural networks (PNN) is proposed. Firstly, the vibration signals and pressure signals of normal state and six types of representative fuel pump faults are collected on the experimental platform. Then the EMD method is applied to decompose the original vibration signals into a finite Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) and a residual. Secondly, the energy of first four IMFs is extracted as a vibration signals failure feature, combined with the mean outlet pressure to structure the fault feature vector and then divided into training samples and testing samples. Training samples are used to train the PNN fault diagnosis model and testing samples are used to verify the model. Experimental results show that compared with SVM and GA-BP, the PNN fault diagnosis model has fast convergence, high efficiency and a higher performance and recognition for the typical faults of airborne fuel pump.
A Twelve-Channel Digital Echo Canceler (1978)

We describe a recently constructed 12-channel digital echo canceler that interfaces directly with the 8-bit μ255 PCM now standard for digital transmission in the telephone plant. The four most interesting features of the canceler are time sharing of circuitry to reduce per channel costs, floating-point multiplication, loop-gain normalization, and the use of a test channel for fault detection. Extensive laboratory and field testing has shown the canceler to be working well.
