Lifetime measurement of the 167.1 keV state inAr41 (2007)

The Advanced-Time-Delayed method was used to measure lifetimes of the states in $^{41}\mathrm{Ar}$ populated in the \ensuremath{\beta} decay of $^{41}\mathrm{Cl}$. The nuclei $^{41}\mathrm{Cl}$ were produced at ISOLDE by 1.4-GeV proton bombardment of a thick UC${}_{x}$ target and mass-separated as molecular ions, ${\mathrm{XeCl}}^{+}$. Our measured half-life of the 167.1-keV state, ${T}_{1/2}=315(15)$ ps, is significantly lower than the previously measured value of 410(30) ps. We have also determined ${T}_{1/2}=260(80)$ ps and ${T}_{1/2}\ensuremath{\leqslant}46$ ps for the 515.9- and 1867.7-keV states, respectively. These are the shortest lifetimes measured so far with the ultrafast timing method using the new ${\mathrm{LaBr}}_{3}$(Ce) crystals for \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray detection.
Genotypic classification of colorectal adenocarcinoma. Biologic behavior correlates with K-ras-2 mutation type (1993)

Genotyping of colorectal adenocarcinoma by K-ras-2 status can identify subsets of patients likely to pursue indolent and aggressive forms of disease. The integrated histopathologic-genetic approach outlined is feasible for use in diagnostic pathology, providing information that together with clinicopathologic staging may individualize and optimize treatment.
Simultaneous in situ hybridisation of native mRNA and immunoglobulin detection by conventional immunofluorescence in paraffin wax embedded sections. (1992)

This technique permits the demonstration of specific mRNA species in cells expressing immunoglobulin. It combines all the advantages of non-radioactive synthetic oligonucleotide probes and conventional immunofluorescence techniques in routine formol-saline fixed and paraffin wax embedded sections with good retention of morphology.
Development of New Thermodynamic Cycles (2002)

In general, optimization is a way to find the best solution to a problem of any kind. We do a lot of optimization in our daily life. For example, we always search for the best product, which meets our demands, with the lowest possible price. In engineering, optimization is a very powerful tool. There is usually more than one acceptable solution to an engineering problem. The goal of an engineer is to find the best one. When there are more than a few acceptable solutions, it may be simply impossible to compare them by hand. More sophisticated mathematical methods have been developed to help find the best solution.

A PILOT PROJECT TO MEASURE TEACHING FACULTY EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS (2021)

Educational leadership (EL) is a term sometimes used to capture facets of teaching that extend outside of direct teaching activities within the classroom. At some institutions, engaging in EL is encouraged and, at some others it is a requirement for tenure and promotion. A method to document, categorize, and assess engagement with EL is therefore needed. In this work, the Universitas 21 Conceptual Framework for Teaching was adapted to create a concise and quick-to-assess summary of EL activity. This paper describes the concept behind the EL reporting and assessment framework created, and comments on the process and outcomes from its deployment in practice in an engineering context.

Effect of interpolation on noise propagation from images to DIC displacement maps (2016)

Summary This paper introduces and validates a new prediction of sensor noise propagation from images of randomly marked surfaces to displacement maps obtained by digital image correlation (DIC). Images are indeed often affected by sensor noise, which propagates to DIC output. We consider here the 2D global DIC, for which this output is the in‐plane displacement calculated at a set of nodes. Predictive formula for the resolution of the displacement at these nodes is already available in the literature. The contribution of the present paper is to revisit this formula to take into account the interpolation required by sub‐pixel displacement. A generalization is also proposed to predict the displacement resolution throughout the field of view. It is then extended to several kinds of DIC. The correlation procedure is thoroughly described in order to emphasize the role of the interpolation. A numerical assessment on synthetic data validates the new prediction and shows the improvement brought about by the proposed formula. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.
Low-coherence interferometry in random media I Theory (2000)

We present a new nonperturbative theoretical method for the analytical description of light propagation in random multiscattering media. The method is illustrated through the calculation of an expression that describes optical backscattering from a semi-infinite disordered medium. A companion paper [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 17, 2034 (2000)] compares the theoretical expression with experimental data.
Speaker location and microphone spacing invariant acoustic modeling from raw multichannel waveforms (2015)

Multichannel ASR systems commonly use separate modules to perform speech enhancement and acoustic modeling. In this paper, we present an algorithm to do multichannel enhancement jointly with the acoustic model, using a raw waveform convolutional LSTM deep neural network (CLDNN). We will show that our proposed method offers ~5% relative improvement in WER over a log-mel CLDNN trained on multiple channels. Analysis shows that the proposed network learns to be robust to varying angles of arrival for the target speaker, and performs as well as a model that is given oracle knowledge of the true location. Finally, we show that training such a network on inputs captured using multiple (linear) array configurations results in a model that is robust to a range of microphone spacings.
L-selectin mediates neutrophil rolling in inflamed venules through sialyl LewisX-dependent and -independent recognition pathways (1993)

The glycoprotein (GP) L-selectin initiates adhesive interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells (EC). It functions as a lymphocyte-lectin homing receptor recognizing carbohydrate determinants of the peripheral lymph node addressing on high endothelial venules. It also mediates neutrophil rolling, the earliest interaction of neutrophils with acutely inflamed venules. Neutrophil L-selectin presents sialyl-LewisX (sLe(X)) as a ligand to P- and E-selectin in vitro, and we have proposed that this is a major mechanism of L-selectin-mediated rolling in vivo. In contrast, the contribution of neutrophil L-selectin as a receptor protein recognizing one (or more) ligand(s) on inflamed EC is unclear. To address this question, an sLe(X)-negative murine pre-B cell line, L1-2, that can neither bind vascular selectins nor roll in inflamed rabbit venules, was transfected with human L-selectin cDNA. L-selectin expression in stable transfectants was sufficient to confer significant rolling in vivo. Rolling was unaffected by neuraminidase treatment but completely blocked by anti-L-selectin monoclonal antibody (MoAb) DREG-56. Thus, L-selectin can initiate leukocyte interactions with EC determinants potentially through recognition of endothelial carbohydrates. In contrast, when human neutrophils were tested, rolling was reduced, but not abolished, by MoAb DREG-56. Likewise, treatment with neuraminidase or anti-sLe(X) MoAbs decreased, but did not abrogate, neutrophil rolling, consistent with residual EC recognition via L-selectin. Combination of MoAb DREG-56 and neuraminidase resulted in almost complete loss of rolling, as did removal of glycosylated L-selectin by chymotrypsin. Together with the demonstrable rolling of L-selectin transfectants, our results support the concept of a bidirectional interaction between L-selectin bearing sLe(X) on neutrophils and activated EC in vivo. These findings also suggest that L-selectin may mediate rolling of lymphocytes that lack carbohydrate ligands for E- or P-selectin, although probably less efficiently than through bidirectional recognition.
Multiple histogram matching (2013)

Histogram Matching (HM) is a common technique for finding a monotonic map between two histograms. However, HM cannot deal with cases where a single mapping is sought between two sets of histograms. This paper presents a novel technique that finds such a mapping in an optimal manner under various histograms distance measures.
Phenotypic Analysis of Progenies of Artificial and Natural Amphiploid Cultivars of New Guinea and Indonesian Species of Impatiens L.1 (1975)

Abstract Phenotypic analysis of selfed and crossed progenies of colchicine induced and natural amphiploid cultivars of New Guinea and Indonesian Impatiens showed that the amphiploids were comparable to inbreds; i.e., seedlings within progenies were identical in nearly all of the floral, foliage, and plant characteristics studied. Most frequent Variation occured in patterns and intensity of flower colors.
Origin of neurohypophyseal neuropeptide-FF (FLFQPQRF-NH2) (1993)

Neuropeptide-FF (FLFQPQRF-NH2), originally isolated from bovine brain, is an FMRF-NH2-like peptide with morphine-modulating activity. Neuropeptide-FF (NPFF) is unevenly distributed in the central nervous system, with the highest concentrations in posterior pituitary and spinal cord. In the rat pituitary, NPFF is found exclusively in the neural lobe, where it is localized in nerve terminals and fibers, indicating the hypothalamus as a possible source of the neural lobe NPFF. In this study the origin of neurohypophyseal NPFF was investigated using various hypothalamic lesions and an anterograde tracing experiment. The results suggest that at least part of the neurohypophyseal NPFF originates from the supraoptic nucleus and may be localized in some of the arginine vasopressin-containing magnocellular neurons.
A collaborative manufacturing execution system oriented to discrete manufacturing enterprises (2016)

The study aims to present architecture and technology solution for collaborative manufacturing execution system oriented to discrete manufacturing enterprises. Under the networked manufacturing environment, the enterprises are facing challenges including the increasing manufacturing process complexity, the shorter product delivery, the higher customer satisfaction requirements, and so on. To deal with these challenges, the manufacturing enterprises must implement information management, while collaborative manufacturing execution system is one of the key technologies to realize informationization. Thus, in this study, the authors analyze production characteristics, typical production flow, and collaborative management requirements of multi-workshop production in the discrete manufacturing enterprise and propose an architecture of collaborative manufacturing execution system oriented to discrete manufacturing enterprises. The main functions of this system and key technologies to realize the system is also analyzed. Finally, a prototype system is developed and a case study is executed in Henan Pingyuan Optics Electronics Co., LTD in OPTO-Electronic Group to demonstrate the implementation and potentials of the system.

Subgrain boundaries in laterally seeded silicon-on-oxide formed by graphite strip heater recrystallization (1982)

A detailed microstructural analysis of laterally seeded silicon-on-oxide formed by scanning graphite strip heater recrystallization is presented for the first time. The recrystallized top silicon layer has a (100) orientation, but contains many subgrain boundaries formed by dislocation coalescence. The subgrains are misoriented by &amp;lt;0.3° and have no internal defects. β-SiC contamination of the top silicon layer was detected. It is probably due to particulate contamination from the top graphite strip heater.
Combined Colour Effects of Tinted Hydrogel Contact Lenses, Sunglasses and Tinted Automotive Windscreens (1993)

The consequence of a recent move to lower the permissible minimum luminous transmittance of automotive windscreens, without the specification of coloration limits, leads to the possibility for the supply and fitting of windscreens which can significantly affect the detection and recognition of the objects in the road environment and, in particular, traffic signal lanterns. These effects can be compounded with the coloration effects of contact lenses and sunglasses. In this study, the potential for compounding the effects of windscreens with sunglasses and contact lenses is demonstrated in theory. Sunglasses are already restricted in coloration and the need for similar regulation of the coloration of windscreens is demonstrated. Language: en

Tendon response to matrix unloading is determined by the patho-physiological niche (2019)

Abstract Aberrant matrix turnover with elevated matrix proteolysis is a hallmark of tendon pathology. While tendon disease mechanisms remain obscure, mechanical cues are central regulators. Unloading of tendon explants in standard culture conditions provokes rapid cell-mediated tissue breakdown. Here we show that biological response to tissue unloading depends on the mimicked physiological context. Our experiments reveal that explanted tendon tissues remain functionally stable in a simulated avascular niche of low temperature and oxygen, regardless of the presence of serum. This hyperthermic and hyperoxic niche-dependent catabolic switch was shown by whole transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) to be a strong pathological driver of an immune-modulatory phenotype, with a stress response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and associated activation of catabolic extracellular matrix proteolysis that involved lysosomal activation and transcription of a range of proteolytic enzymes. Secretomic and degradomic analysis through terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrates (TAILS) confirmed that proteolytic activity in unloaded tissues was strongly niche dependent. Through targeted pharmacological inhibition we isolated ROS mediated oxidative stress as a major checkpoint for matrix proteolysis. We conclude from these data that the tendon stromal compartment responds to traumatic mechanical unloading in a manner that is highly dependent on the extrinsic niche, with oxidative stress response gating the proteolytic breakdown of the functional collagen backbone.
Towards Perceptually Driven Segmentation Evaluation Metrics (2005)

To be reliable, an automatic segmentation evaluation metric has to be validated by subjective tests. In this paper, a formal protocol for subjective tests for segmentation quality assessment is presented. The most common artifacts produced by segmentation algorithms are identified and an extensive analysis of their effects on the perceived quality is performed. A psychophysical experiment was performed to assess the quality of video with segmentation errors. The results show how an objective segmentation evaluation metric can be defined as a function of various error types.
Mining User Consumption Intention from Social Media Using Domain Adaptive Convolutional Neural Network (2015)

Social media platforms are often used by people to express their needs and desires. Such data offer great opportunities to identify users’ consumption intention from user-generated contents, so that better tailored products or services can be recommended. However, there have been few efforts on mining commercial intents from social media contents. In this paper, we investigate the use of social media data to identify consumption intentions for individuals. We develop a Consumption Intention Mining Model (CIMM) based on convolutional neural network (CNN), for identifying whether the user has a consumption intention. The task is domain-dependent, and learning CNN requires a large number of annotated instances, which can be available only in some domains. Hence, we investigate the possibility of transferring the CNN mid-level sentence representation learned from one domain to another by adding an adaptation layer. To demonstrate the effectiveness of CIMM, we conduct experiments on two domains. Our results show that CIMM offers a powerful paradigm for effectively identifying users’ consumption intention based on their social media data. Moreover, our results also confirm that the CNN learned in one domain can be effectively transferred to another domain. This suggests that a great potential for our model to significantly increase effectiveness of product recommendations and targeted advertising.
Image based grading of nuclear cataract by SVM regression (2008)

Cataract is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. A computer-aided approach to assess nuclear cataract automatically and objectively is proposed in this paper. An enhanced Active Shape Model (ASM) is investigated to extract robust lens contour from slit-lamp images. The mean intensity in the lens area, the color information on the central posterior subcapsular reflex, and the profile on the visual axis are selected as the features for grading. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) scheme is proposed to grade nuclear cataract automatically. The proposed approach has been tested using the lens images from Singapore National Eye Centre. The mean error between the automatic grading and grader's decimal grading is 0.38. Statistical analysis shows that 97.8% of the automatic grades are within one grade difference to human grader's integer grades. Experimental results indicate that the proposed automatic grading approach is promising in facilitating nuclear cataract diagnosis.
Dependence of threshold switching power on the control-light wavelength in a nonlinear distributed-feedback GaInAsP waveguide (2001)

We demonstrate all-optical bistable switching by using orthogonally and parallelly polarized control light in a nonlinear distributed feedback GaInAsP waveguide. When the control light that is orthogonally polarized to the signal light is within its stopband, it is possible to extract the signal without using any external devices. Also, we investigate theoretically and experimentally the dependence of threshold switching power on the wavelength and polarization of control light.

Isothermal Nucleic Acid Amplification to Detect Infection Caused by Parasites of the Trypanosomatidae Family: A Literature Review and Opinion on the Laboratory to Field Applicability (2022)

Isothermal amplification of nucleic acids has the potential to be applied in resource-limited areas for the detection of infectious agents, as it does not require complex nucleic purification steps or specific and expensive equipment and reagents to perform the reaction and read the result. Since human and animal infections by pathogens of the Tryponasomatidae family occur mainly in resource-limited areas with scant health infrastructures and personnel, detecting infections by these methodologies would hold great promise. Here, we conduct a narrative review of the literature on the application of isothermal nucleic acid amplification for Trypanosoma and Leishmania infections, which are a scourge for human health and food security. We highlight gaps and propose ways to improve them to translate these powerful technologies into real-world field applications for neglected human and animal diseases caused by Trypanosomatidae.
Soft magnetic properties of nano-structure-controlled magnetic materials (1995)

The soft magnetic properties of Nano-Structure-Controlled NANOCON magnetic materials have been studied, The NANOCON materials consist of Fe-based soft magnetic metal particles which are separated from each other by insulation layers of metal oxides on the order of 10-nm thick, The permeability of NANOCON materials was constant up to 10 MHz due to the small isolated particles size compared with skin depth. The value of quality factor (Q) and the peak frequency of Q could be adjusted by the particle size of NANOCON materials due to the minimization of eddy current losses due to the particle isolation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Synthesis and Characterization of New Carbazolocarbazoles: Toward π-Extended N-Fused Heteroacenes (2010)

A regiospecific route has been developed for the synthesis of carbazolo[1,2-a]carbazole. The synthetic strategy is based on the use of appropriately tetrasubstituted naphthalene. Optical and electrochemical characterization of the fused heteroaromatic system reveals that this optically transparent heteroacene, with a low-lying HOMO, might be used as an organic material.
