Terrain intervisibility-believe it or not? (2001)

Computer generated digital maps with terrain intervisibility displays are becoming a common addition to aircraft cockpits. Also known as masking plots, these displays show dangerous regions exposed to threats, highlight terrain visible from the current (or future) aircraft location, and keep track of regions hidden from view during searches with various types of sensors. High resolution displays of semi-transparent intervisibility overlaid on sharp clear digital maps are very convincing but can they be believed? Not completely. Intervisibility displays serve a valuable function. But to build and use these systems wisely, it is good to understand the errors and limitations involved. At LMFS, we have integrated digital maps from other companies into avionics systems such as Army Special Operations Aircraft and MH-53J, and have analyzed the errors associated with the use of level 1 and level 2 terrain elevation data from the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). We have also developed a number of real-time intervisibility and probabilistic intervisibility functions using a hybrid of multiresolution techniques and algorithms to obtain the best results possible for a given set of computer resources. This paper explores some of the problems, solutions, and human/machine interface considerations associated with the generation and use of intervisibility.
Pacifists, Patriots and the Vote: The Erosion of Democratic Suffragism in Britain During the First World War (2009)

This book offers a detailed account of how the First World War divided the non-militant leaders of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, involved them in patriotic war work, led some critics of war to break away to join other women's pressure groups (thereby weakening support for the electoral pact with the Labour Party), and left the ‘patriots’ in charge when the women's parliamentary vote was achieved in 1918. Although the book is essentially a narrative that sticks closely to a limited range of institutional sources rather than an analysis, Jo Vellacott makes clear that her general theme is the failure of ‘democratic suffragism’ in the war period. Some students will be uncertain what is meant here. The term democratic suffragism is variously used to refer to the pre-war move within the National Union to put the organisation on a regional, and thus more democratic, basis, to promoting the Electoral Fighting Fund to support Labour candidates, and to winning the women's vote on a democratic basis—that is, as part of full adult suffrage.

Long-term evolution of the CAZY glycosyltransferase 6 (ABO) gene family from fishes to mammals—a birth-and-death evolution model (2007)

Functional glycosyltransferase 6 (GT6) family members catalyze the transfer of galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine in alpha1,3 linkage to various substrates and synthesize structures related to the A and B histo-blood group antigens, the Forssman antigen, alphaGal epitope, and iGb3 glycolipid. In rat, mouse, dog, and cow genomes, we have identified three new mammalian genes (GT6m5, GT6m6, and GT6m7) encoding putative proteins belonging to the GT6 family. Among these, GT6m6 protein does not display major alterations of the GT6 motifs involved in binding of the divalent cation and the substrate. Based on protein sequence comparison, gene structure, and synteny, GT6 homologous sequences were also identified in bird, fish, and amphibian genomes. Strikingly, the number and type of GT6 genes varied widely from species to species, even within phylogenetically related groups. In human, except ABO functional alleles, all other GT6 genes are either absent or nonfunctional. Human, mouse, and cow have only one ABO gene, whereas rat and dog have several. In the chicken, the Forssman synthase-like is the single GT6 family member. Five Forssman synthase-like genes were found in zebrafish, but are absent from three other fishes (fugu, puffer fish, and medaka). Two iGb3 synthase-like genes were found in medaka, which are absent from zebrafish. Fugu, puffer fish, and medaka have an additional GT6 gene that we termed GT6m8, which is absent from all other species analyzed here. These observations indicate that individual GT6 genes have expanded and contracted by recurrent duplications and deletions during vertebrate evolution, following a birth-and-death evolution type.

Requirement of the Activation-Induced Deaminase ( AID ) Gene for Immunoglobulin Gene Conversion (2002)

Three phenotypically distinct processes-somatic hypermutation, gene conversion, and switch recombination-remodel the functionally rearranged immunoglobulin (Ig) loci in B cells. Somatic hypermutation and switch recombination have recently been shown to depend on the activation-induced deaminase (AID) gene product. Here, we show that the disruption of the AID gene in the chicken B cell line DT40 completely blocks Ig gene conversion and that this block can be complemented by reintroduction of the AID complementary DNA. This demonstrates that the AID master gene controls all B cell-specific modifications of vertebrate Ig genes.
Is the new GFR equation using inulin clearance a more accurate method for Asian patients? (2015)

Recently, a new glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equation for the Japanese population was proposed using measured inulin clearance. To expand its applicability to other Asian populations, we performed a comparative study in the Korean population. Inulin clearance was measured in 166 patients from seven participating medical centers in Korea. Patient's sera and urine were collected, and baseline clinical characteristics were measured to provide an estimated GFR (eGFR) by the Japanese GFR equation using inulin clearance (Japanese-GFR equation), the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation, and the Chronic Kidney Disease - Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. We compared the results to determine which equation best estimated the measured GFR (mGFR). Accuracy (95% CI) within 30% of mGFR by the Japanese-GFR equation, the CKD-EPI equation and the MDRD study equation were 66 (58 - 72), 51 (43 - 58), and 55 (47 - 62)%, respectively. Bias (mGFR minus eGFR) were 3.4 ± 22.4, -12.0 ± 22.1, and -9.7 ± 23.8 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. The accuracy of the Japanese-GFR equation was significantly better than MDRD study equation in subjects with mGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and in total subjects. The bias of the Japanese-GFR equation was significantly smaller compared with other two equations in total subjects. The Japanese-GFR equation has a higher accuracy with less bias than the other equations in estimating GFR in Korean populations. Further studies are required to determine if the current Japanese-GFR equation could represent the standard eGFR for other Asian populations.
A Robust Real-Time Automatic License Plate Recognition Based on the YOLO Detector (2018)

Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) has been a frequent topic of research due to many practical applications. However, many of the current solutions are still not robust in real-world situations, commonly depending on many constraints. This paper presents a robust and efficient ALPR system based on the state-of-the-art YOLO object detector. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are trained and finetuned for each ALPR stage so that they are robust under different conditions (e.g., variations in camera, lighting, and background). Specially for character segmentation and recognition, we design a two-stage approach employing simple data augmentation tricks such as inverted License Plates (LPs) and flipped characters. The resulting ALPR approach achieved impressive results in two datasets. First, in the SSIG dataset, composed of 2,000 frames from 101 vehicle videos, our system achieved a recognition rate of 93.53% and 47 Frames Per Second (FPS), performing better than both Sighthound and OpenALPR commercial systems (89.80% and 93.03%, respectively) and considerably outperforming previous results (81.80%). Second, targeting a more realistic scenario, we introduce a larger public dataset <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> dataset, designed to ALPR. This dataset contains 150 videos and 4,500 frames captured when both camera and vehicles are moving and also contains different types of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, buses and trucks). In our proposed dataset, the trial versions of commercial systems achieved recognition rates below 70%. On the other hand, our system performed better, with recognition rate of 78.33% and 35 FPS.The UFPR-ALPR dataset is publicly available to the research community at https://web.inf.ufpr.br/vri/databases/ufpr-alpr/ subject to privacy restrictions.

Low Contact Resistivity with Low Silicide/p+-Silicon Schottky Barrier for High-Performance p-Channel Metal–Oxide–Silicon Field Effect Transistors (2010)

A current drivability improvement of p-channel metal–oxide–silicon field effect transistors (MOSFETs) is necessary for the performance enhancement of complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. In this paper, we present the key technology for fabricating indispensable CMOS circuits with a small Schottky barrier height and a low contact resistance for p-type silicon using Pd 2 Si. We fabricated a Pd 2 Si gate Schottky barrier diode and a Kelvin pattern on silicon. The measured Schottky barrier height is 0.29 eV for p-type silicon. We also realized a very low contact resistivity of 3.7 ×10 -9 Ω cm 2 for the p + region of silicon. The p-channel MOSFET with Pd 2 Si source/drain contacts realized a good characteristic, that is, a small off current. The technology developed in this work involves silicide formation for source/drain contacts of p-channel MOSFETs, which is expected to realize the performance enhancement of MOSFETs.
Amino Acid Availability and Urea Recycling in Finishing Swine Fedyy Barley-Based Diets Supplemented with Soybean Meal or Sunflower Meal1 (1984)

Eight barrows (84 kg initial weight) fitted with simple T-cannula 5 cm from the ileocecal junction were used in an experiment to determine the ileal and fecal availabilities of amino acids (AA) in barley-based diets formulated to contain 14% crude protein by supplementation with soybean meal (B+SBM) or sunflower meal (B+SFM). Ileal availabilities of the indispensable AA averaged 75.9% for. the B+SFM diet and 74.7% for the B+SBM diet. The ileal availabilities of arginine, histidine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid and tyrosine were significantly higher (P<.05) for the B+SFM diet compared with the B+SBM diet. The apparent fecal availability of the indispensable amino acids averaged 80.2% for the B+SFM diet and 78.6% for the B+SBM diet. The B+SFM diet had a higher (P<.05) fecal availability of methionine compared with the B+SBM diet. Nitrogen (N) intake, fecal N excretion, N digestibility, apparent protein utilization and biological value of the protein did not differ between protein sources. For both diets approximately 32% of urea N was degraded in the hindgut.
Novel field assays and the comparative repellency of BioUD ® , DEET and permethrin against Amblyomma americanum (2010)

Two new field bioassay methods were developed to compare the repellent activity of BioUD(®) (containing 7.75% 2-undecanone), 98.1% DEET and 0.5% permethrin against natural populations of nymphal Amblyomma americanum (L.) (Acari: Ixodidae). In a cloth sheet assay, pieces of material measuring 41 × 58 cm, separately treated with one of the test materials or the appropriate solvent carrier, were placed at random on the ground and baited with dry ice for 1 h. Mean numbers of ticks on repellent-treated sheets were significantly lower than on control sheets. There was no significant difference in the number of ticks collected between sheets treated with BioUD(®) and those treated with DEET. However, significantly fewer ticks were found on sheets treated with BioUD(®) or DEET than on permethrin-treated sheets. In a sock test, over-the-calf tube socks were treated with one of the test materials or the appropriate solvent carrier. Human volunteers wore a repellent-treated and a corresponding carrier-treated sock on either leg and walked randomly over an area of approximately 4000 m(2) for 15 min. Significantly fewer ticks were collected from socks treated with BioUD(®) or DEET than from socks treated with the carrier and there was no significant difference in repellency between these two agents. No difference in the mean number of ticks collected was found between permethrin-treated and corresponding carrier-treated socks. To examine the mechanism of repellency of BioUD(®) , a four-choice olfactometer was used to assess spatial repellency against adult A. americanum. As expected in the absence of a repellent, when all choices were represented by water-treated filter paper, ticks were equally distributed among the choices. When one choice consisted of BioUD(®) -treated filter paper and the remaining choices of water-treated paper, the distribution of ticks on the repellent-treated paper was significantly lower than might be expected to occur by chance, suggesting that repellency is at least partly achieved by an olfactory mechanism.
Newborn Infants Imitate Adult Facial Gestures (1983)

Newborn infants ranging in age from 0.7 to 71 hours old were tested for their ability to imitate 2 adult facial gestures: mouth opening and tongue protrusion. Each subject acted as his or her own control in a repeated-measures design counterbalanced for order of stimulus presentation. The subjects were tested in low illumination using infrared-sensitive video equipment. The videotaped records were scored by an observer who was uninformed about the gesture shown to the infants. Both frequency and duration of neonatal mouth openings and tongue protrusions were tallied. The results showed that newborn infants can imitate both adult displays. 3 possible mechanisms underlying this early imitative behavior are suggested: instrumental or associative learning, innate releasing mechanisms, and active intermodal matching. It is argued that the data favor the third account.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Multi-Dimensional Log-Concave Density (2010)

Summary Let X1,…,Xn be independent and identically distributed random vectors with a (Lebesgue) density f. We first prove that, with probability 1, there is a unique log-concave maximum likelihood estimator f^n of f. The use of this estimator is attractive because, unlike kernel density estimation, the method is fully automatic, with no smoothing parameters to choose. Although the existence proof is non-constructive, we can reformulate the issue of computing f^n in terms of a non-differentiable convex optimization problem, and thus combine techniques of computational geometry with Shor’s r-algorithm to produce a sequence that converges to f^n. An R version of the algorithm is available in the package LogConcDEAD—log-concave density estimation in arbitrary dimensions. We demonstrate that the estimator has attractive theoretical properties both when the true density is log-concave and when this model is misspecified. For the moderate or large sample sizes in our simulations, f^n is shown to have smaller mean integrated squared error compared with kernel-based methods, even when we allow the use of a theoretical, optimal fixed bandwidth for the kernel estimator that would not be available in practice. We also present a real data clustering example, which shows that our methodology can be used in conjunction with the expectation–maximization algorithm to fit finite mixtures of log-concave densities.
Interactive TV narratives (2008)

This article is motivated by the question whether television should do more than simply offer interactive services alongside (and separately from) traditional linear programs, in the context of its dominance being seriously challenged and threatened by interactive forms of screen media entertainment. It suggests: yes. Interactive narrativity , that is, the ability to interact with (and influence) stories whilst they are being told, represents one clear development path for interactive television. The capabilities of computing technology are ripe for exploring this new form of storytelling, from creation to commercial distribution. The article starts by looking at the relationship between narrativity and interactivity in the current context of screen media, and identifies clear signs of interest from certain European public broadcasters in interactive TV narratives. It then presents in detail four recent experimental interactive TV productions in the genres of drama, news, and documentary, developed in collaboration with public broadcasters, which illustrate the potential and richness of this new form of storytelling, but also highlight new technological capabilities necessary for such productions. A number of essential technological requirements are then discussed in more detail in the final part. The article suggests that the ShapeShifting Media Technology, employed in the implementation of the four productions, has made significant advances both at the technological and the creative ends in supporting the development of interactive TV narrativity, but, however, that further developments are required before being able to answer questions such as “Would end users want such a form of screen media entertainment?” and “Would it be effective for both end users and producers?”
Edge-light pupil cycle time. (1978)

A thin slit-lamp beam illuminating the pupil margin produces clearly visible pupil oscillations. These oscillations can be timed with a stopwatch, thus producing a measurement of the "edge-light" pupil cycle time'. The pupil cycle time is remarkably stable in various testing situations and is repeatable within about +/- 3% over extended periods of time. Expected normal distribution and 95% confidence intervals are given in Table 3. When the iris muscles are normally innervated and responsive, the pupil cycle time is dependent on the speed of nerve conduction and the number and strength of optic nerve impulses. Only 5% of normal persons aged 12 to 50 years are expected to have a pupil cycle time in either eye longer than 954 ms or a difference in pupil cycle time between the two eyes longer than 70 ms.
Effectiveness-NTU Relationship for a Counterflow Heat Exchanger Subjected to an External Heat Transfer (2004)

This paper presents the analytical solution for the effectiveness of a counterflow heat exchanger subjected to a uniformly distributed, external heat flux. The solution is verified against conventional ε-NTU relations in the limit of zero external heat flux. This situation is of interest in applications such as cryogenic and process engineering, and the analytical solution provides a convenient method for treating differential elements of a heat exchanger in a numerical model.
