An improved optimal model for energy-saving of belt conveyors based on genetic algorithm (2015)

The paper presents optimal control modeling study for energy-saving of belt conveyor system. Given the transport operations process of bulk terminals, belt conveyor is studied. Firstly, based on the simplified energy calculation model of the belt conveyor, an objective optimization model with the aim to improve transport efficiency and reduce transportation energy consumption is established. In the model, constrains of the belt with the bulk transport capacity, velocity and time limits and the storage capacities are considered. Among them, velocity limits is achieved by dynamic analysis based on establishing finite element model. And then according to the proposed improved optimal model, the genetic algorithm is designed to solve this model. At last, the genetic algorithm is designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, and experiments on MATLAB is conducted. The simulation results reveal that this method can effectively reduce energy consuming in belt transport system and improve delivery devices efficiency.
Association between migraine and risk of ocular motor cranial nerve palsy (2022)

To assess association between migraines and development of ocular motor cranial nerve palsy (CNP) and finding risk factors using the National Sample Cohort database from the Korea National Health Insurance Service. Data was analyzed from 4,234,341 medical screening examinees aged 20-90 years in 2009. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to the adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for ocular motor CNP according to presence of migraine. Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate effect of other factors on association of migraine with ocular motor CNP. A total of 5806 participants (0.14% of subjects) developed ocular motor CNP and were assigned to CNP group, 4,048,018 were assigned to control group, with an average of 8.22 ± 0.93 years of follow-up. Incidence of ocular motor CNP increased in migraine group compared to control. After adjusting potential confounding variables, HR for ocular motor CNP was 1.166 (confidence interval [CI] 1.013-1.343) in migraine group. Subgroups of relatively younger age less than 65 years (HR = 1.267, 95% CI 1.067-1.504), male gender (HR = 1.228, 95% CI 1.000-1.122), smokers (HR 1.426, 95% CI 1.127-1.803), and diabetes mellitus patients (HR = 1.378, 95% CI 1.045-1.378) showed a stronger association between migraines and development of ocular motor CNP. Our population-based cohort study demonstrated a significant association between presence of migraines and incidence of ocular motor CNP. Especially, relatively younger age, males, smokers, and diabetes patients with migraines could have a higher risk of developing ocular motor CNP.
Research on carrier landing preview control (2017)

There are high requirements on the control accuracy, dynamic performance and robustness of carrier-based aircraft landing. In the previous literature, the idea of landing control is to use the system output, and error's feedback to control, which takes a large lag in the control, and is difficult to fundamentally improve the landing control accuracy and dynamic performance and so on. In this paper, the preview control of carrier landing is studied, and the preview information of the gliding path and the deck motion is used to guide the aircraft carrier to make the advance operation. Firstly, the landing preview controller is designed, then the robust Hinf filter is designed to predict the deck motion, and the preview information of the deck motion is obtained. Finally, the preview control is carried out under states discrete sampling. Simulation results show that the preview information and control can significantly enhance the aircraft's ability in tracking the glide path and deck motion.
AAVshRNA-Mediated Suppression of PTEN in Adult Rats in Combination with Salmon Fibrin Administration Enables Regenerative Growth of Corticospinal Axons and Enhances Recovery of Voluntary Motor Function after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury (2014)

Conditional genetic deletion of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in the sensorimotor cortex of neonatal mice enables regeneration of corticospinal tract (CST) axons after spinal cord injury (SCI). The present study addresses three questions: (1) whether PTEN knockdown in adult rats by nongenetic techniques enables CST regeneration, (2) whether interventions to enable CST regeneration enhance recovery of voluntary motor function, and (3) whether delivery of salmon fibrin into the injury site further enhances CST regeneration and motor recovery. Adult rats were trained in a staircase-reaching task and then received either intracortical injections of AAVshPTEN to delete PTEN or a control vector expressing shRNA for luciferase (AAVshLuc). Rats then received cervical dorsal hemisection injuries and salmon fibrin was injected into the injury site in half the rats, yielding four groups (AAVshPTEN, AAVshLuc, AAVshPTEN + fibrin, and AAVshLuc + fibrin). Forepaw function was assessed for 10 weeks after injury and CST axons were traced by injecting biotin-conjugated dextran amine into the sensorimotor cortex. Rats that received AAVshPTEN alone did not exhibit improved motor function, whereas rats that received AAVshPTEN and salmon fibrin had significantly higher forelimb-reaching scores. Tract tracing revealed that CST axons extended farther caudally in the group that received AAVshPTEN and salmon fibrin versus other groups. There were no significant differences in lesion size between the groups. Together, these data suggest that the combination of PTEN deletion and salmon fibrin injection into the lesion can significantly improve voluntary motor function after SCI by enabling regenerative growth of CST axons.
ArchaeoMapper Beta Test Report (2008)

Abstract : The ArchaeoMapper Beta Test was conducted Nov 4-6 2008 at the J.B. Hunt Center for Academic Excellence on the University of Arkansas campus. During the three day test, members of the Army User Group and University of Arkansas students familiar with geophysical methods in Archaeology evaluated ArchaeoMapper while working through a series of three tutorials. The first tutorial took the participants through data import and manipulation. The second tutorial introduced the participants to more advanced processing techniques and allowed them to completely process two different data sets. The third tutorial was led by the CAST development team and demonstrated GPR processing and data fusion techniques. Participants were asked to rate and comment on the effectiveness and usability of the ArchaeoMapper software using online forms that were available to them throughout the test. The participants ratings and comments on these forms (attached in Appendix A) indicated that all the participants were pleased with the design and usability of the software and offered specific suggestions for further improvement. On balance, ArchaeoMapper clearly passed the Beta Test and is ready for field evaluations. ESTCP Project SI-0611 (Streamlined Archaeo-geophysical Data Processing and Integration for DoD Field Use) has two objectives: 1) Assemble a single, user-friendly software (ArchaeoMapper) that will serve as an effective medium for infusing the integrated, multi-sensor geophysical approach into wide use. 2) Demonstrate and validate the cost and performance benefits of the approach and technology infusion tool to a wide range of Cultural Resources Management professionals (see below). A major component of the Cultural Resources Management (CRM) work conducted on military installations involves evaluation of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites for National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility in compliance with federal laws.
Abstract 543: Estrogen metabolism within prostatic micro-milieu: insights to prostatic carcinogenesis (2012)

Abstract Prostatic cancer is amongst the most common neoplasm in men. Inflammation and accelerated proliferation are important underlying causes for prostatic carcinogenesis. The role of estrogen in prostate physiology and pathophysiology has been growing rapidly. However some estrogen metabolites are more potent relative to parent estrogen. In the current work, the reciprocal role between inflammation and estrogen metabolism in prostatic microenvironment was investigated. Prostatitis was induced in normal and estrogen treated male rats by intraprostatic injection of 2% carragenan solution. After 48 h, animals were euthanized and prostate glands were collected. Prostatic inflammation and proliferation were confirmed by gross visual, histological and elevated TNF-α, PGE2 and cyclin-D1. Expression of estrogen metabolizing enzymes was assessed using real time PCR and estrogen metabolites within prostate tissue were assayed using LC-MS/MS. Inflammation combined with estrogen exposure showed exaggerated inflammatory and proliferative response. Estrogen metabolizing enzymes were over expressed in response to prostatic inflammation with sequential accumulation of catechol estrogens within prostatic tissues. Catechol estrogens were found to accelerate prostatic epithelial cell proliferation and alter their genetic stability. In conclusion, the current work provides experimental evidence that prostatic inflammation enhances estrogen metabolism to generate catechol estrogens within prostatic microenvironment. These may contribute in prostatic inflammation and accelerated proliferation and subsequently prostatic carcinogenesis. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

Graphics processing unit accelerated optical coherence tomography processing at megahertz axial scan rate and high resolution video rate volumetric rendering (2013)

In this report, we describe how to highly optimize a computer unified device architecture based platform to perform real-time processing of optical coherence tomography interferometric data and three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric rendering using a commercially available, cost-effective, graphics processing unit (GPU). The maximum complete attainable axial scan processing rate, including memory transfer and displaying B-scan frame, was 2.24 MHz for 16 bits pixel depth and 2048 fast Fourier transform size; the maximum 3-D volumetric rendering rate, including B-scan, en face view display, and 3-D rendering, was ~23 volumes/second (volume size: 1024×256×200). To the best of our knowledge, this is the fastest processing rate reported to date with a single-chip GPU and the first implementation of real-time video-rate volumetric optical coherence tomography (OCT) processing and rendering that is capable of matching the acquisition rates of ultrahigh-speed OCT.
Structure and Hypertext (1994)

Hypertext techniques are now beginning to be used in the ways that early researchers anticipated, from personal note taking to online help for ubiquitous computing environments and universal literature resources, yet despite this, hypertext models have remained substantially unchanged. This thesis investigates the nature of text, how it may best be modelled on a computer and how the connections between related texts may be expressed in a flexible and efficient way. First we look at the development of hypertext systems and then compare that with the complex structured nature of texts themselves. LACE, a small-scale hypertext system based on structured texts is introduced and compared with other hypertext systems. Approaches to large-scale distributed hypertexts are discussed, and LACE-92, a system used to produce hypertexts from distributed information services is presented. Finally LACE-93, a new document architecture for global hypertext environments is proposed.

The electrostatic potential in the 3-port pyramidal cell is investigated by solving Laplace’s equation. Potentials are expressed in eigenfunctions in spherical coordinates. The mode-matching method is applied with the orthogonality of sinusoidal function to obtain simultaneous series equations. Numerical computations are carried out to illustrate the behavior of potential and electric field.
Guidelines and Annotation Framework for Arabic Author Profiling (2018)

In this paper, we present the annotation pipeline and the guidelines we wrote as part of an effort to create a large manually annotated Arabic author profiling dataset from various social media sources covering 16 Arabic countries and 11 dialectal regions. The target size of the annotated ARAP-Tweet corpus is more than 2.4 million words. We illustrate and summarize our general and dialect-specific guidelines for each of the dialectal regions selected. We also present the annotation framework and logistics. We control the annotation quality frequently by computing the inter-annotator agreement during the annotation process. Finally, we describe the issues encountered during the annotation phase, especially those related to the peculiarities of Arabic dialectal varieties as used in social media.

Suppression of Noise Propagation between Power and Ground Planes Using Ferrite-Plated EBG Structure (2014)

To confirm the feasibility of suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the inner layers of multilayered printed wiring boards (PWBs) and sustaining power integrity characteristics, influence of inserting a ferrite-plated thin film between the power and ground planes on the transmission characteristics were evaluated using four types of test boards with the following two conditions: one is the solid test board with a plane copper foil or the EBG (Electromagnetic bandgap) test boards with a one-dimensional lattice-shaped EBG structure consisting of large and small squares 15 mm×15 mm and 1.5 mm×1.5 mm in size; the other is whether the 3 or 6 µm-thick ferrite film was deposited or not. The multiple peaks of the transmission coefficient S21 due to parallel plate resonances were observed in the solid test board without ferrite film but the peaks were suppressed over the wide frequency range up to 6 GHz by applying the ferrite film. The EBG test board with the ferrite film provided not only wideband attenuation owing to the ferrite film but also large attenuation in the EBG stopband. The multiple peaks of in the driving point impedance Z11 due to the parallel plate resonances were also successfully suppressed by applying the ferrite film exhibiting favorable power integrity characteristics.
Application of Multi-Level Converter for Fast Current Control in Small-Scale DC Power Network (2019)

DC microgrids have been emerging as next-generation small-scale electric power networks, where the line impedance is very low. This phenomenon causes large currents in the microgrids, even for a slight change in voltage; therefore, it is critical for a power flow controller to have faster transient response and precise power flow control. In this study, multi-level converters are applied as the power flow controllers to realize high-speed and high-precision power flow control in a dc microgrid. The output filter can be small, as a multi-level converter is used. This paper also presents the design of the output LC filter of a multi-level converter to satisfy a requirement of current ripple. We experimentally verified that a multi-level converter with a smaller filter can realize high-speed and high-precision power flow control for low line impedance conditions compared with the conventional two-level converters.

Neuraminidase Content of Influenza Vaccines and Neuraminidase Antibody Responses after Vaccination of Immunologically Primed and Unprimed Populations (1977)

Vaccines prepared with influenza A/swine/1976/37-like virus contained neuraminidase activity comparable to that of H3N2 vaccines, whereas little neuraminidase activity could be detected in influenza A/New Jersey /76 vaccines. In single-dose vaccine studies, Ajswinejl976j37.like split-virus vaccine induced antibody to neuraminidase (NAAb) in about 20% of children younger than 18 years, and this NAAb response was better than or equal to the antibody response to the vaccine's hemagglutinin (HAAb). In immunologically primed adults, the NAAb response to a single dose of HswlNl or H3N2 vaccine was 38%–54%, but this value was about 1.7-fold lower than that for HAAb response. Children six to 17 years old given two doses of Ajswinejl976j37-like vaccine had an overall 70% NAAb response, whereas children of similar age had an overall 30%–48% NAAb response to two doses of AjVictoria/3/75 (H3N2) virus. The findings support a hypothesis that the NAAb response to influenza vaccines can be suppressed if subjects receiving the vaccine are immunologically primed to its hemagglutinin component. NAAb responses in the absence of HAAb responses occur in only about 5% of vaccinated persons who are immunologically primed to both the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase of the vaccine.

Validation of Algorithms Using ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) Codes in Claims Data to Identify People With Viral Hepatitis (2021)

Abstract Background: The ICD-9 Clinical Modification (ICD‐9‐CM) coding system was transited into the ICD-10‐CM on October 1, 2015, in the United States and on January 1, 2016, in Taiwan. Little is known on the performance of various algorithms using ICD-10-CM codes in claims data to identify people with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Methods: A proportional systemic sampling of 10,000 patients aged ≥20 years in a health care system in Southern Taiwan were enrolled as study participants. According to the reference standards we confirmed 736 and 555 participants had HBV and HCV, respectively. Results: The algorithms with higher number of outpatient (OP) visits with ICD codes had higher positive predictive value (PPV); for example, the PPV for HBV using algorithm 1 (≥1 OP codes) was 72% and 86% according to ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM, respectively, and that of algorithm 3 (≥3 OP codes) was 80% and 90%, respectively. Similarly, the PPV for HCV using algorithm 1 was 88% and 96%, respectively, and using algorithm 3 was 93% and 99%, respectively. However, the algorithms with higher PPV complemented with lower sensitivity. Conclusions: In conclusion, algorithms using ICD-10-CM codes had better performance than those using ICD-9-CM codes in identifying people with HBV and HCV. Considering the tradeoff between PPV and sensitivity, the optimal algorithm is ≥2 OP visits or ≥1 inpatient visits with HBV or HCV ICD codes.
Discordant frequencies of tissue‐resident and circulating CD180‐negative B cells in chronic rhinosinusitis (2017)

Changes in mucosal and peripheral CD180-expressing B cells were identified in CRSwNP patients compared to CRSsNP and controls. This suggests a role for these cells in the dysregulated immune response in these patients.
Constitutively activated FGFR3 mutants signal through PLCγ-dependent and -independent pathways for hematopoietic transformation (2005)

Ectopic expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) associated with t(4;14) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of human multiple myeloma. Some t(4;14) patients have activating mutations of FGFR3, of which a minority are K650E (thanatophoric dysplasia type II [TDII]). To investigate the role of autophosphorylated tyrosine residues in FGFR3 signal transduction and transformation, we characterized a series of FGFR3 TDII mutants with single or multiple Y-->F substitutions. Phenylalanine substitution of Y760, essential for phospholipase Cgamma (PLCgamma) binding and activation, significantly attenuated FGFR3 TDII-mediated PLCgamma activation, as well as transformation in Ba/F3 cells and a murine bone marrow transplant leukemia model. In contrast, single substitution of Y577, Y724, or Y770 had minimal to moderate effects on TDII-dependent transformation. Substitution of all 4 non-activation loop tyrosine residues significantly attenuated, but did not abolish, TDII transforming activity. Similar observations were obtained in the context of a constitutively activated fusion TEL-FGFR3 associated with t(4;12)(p16;p13) peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Moreover, 2 independent EmuSR-FGFR3 TDII transgenic mouse lines developed a pro-B-cell lymphoma, and PLCgamma was highly activated in primary lymphoma cells as assessed by tyrosine phosphorylation. These data indicate that engagement of multiple signaling pathways, including PLCgamma-dependent and PLCgamma-independent pathways, is required for full hematopoietic transformation by constitutively activated FGFR3 mutants.
