Analysis on Virtual Assembly Tolerance for Pitch-adjustable Lateral Propulsion Device (2015)

Lateral propulsion unit is the propeller mounted on the side of the ship, the lateral force in the rotary side generated by the propulsion device can reduce the ship's turning radius, so the yaw of low voyages will not happen. By adjusting the pitch angle of the propeller, the adjustable pitch for lateral propulsion device can change the size and direction of the lateral thrust. The device assembly technology has great significance in improving assembly quality, shortening cycle and reducing the cost of production assembly. This paper attempts to use the secondary development tools of UG, and the Vis-VSA software to design an adjustable pitch propeller assembly tolerance analysis system for tolerance problems in the assembly of thruster. On the one hand, there are studies on the information extraction algorithms of the thruster assembly model in UG, and management of the extracted assembly feature information in SQL Server2008.On the other hand, there are some researches about the method of generating assembly dimension chains based on the assemble information database. Based on the study aforementioned, the tolerance analysis of Monte Carlo method for the assembly dimension chain is fully illustrate. Finally, the optimal tolerance design is obtained by calling Vis-VSA module to analyse assembly tolerance.
Solving constraint satisfaction problems by using coevolutionary genetic algorithms (2002)

In this paper, Coevolutionary Genetic Algorithm for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) is proposed. It consists of two Genetic Algorithms (GAs): a traditional GA and another GA to search for good schemata in the former GA. These GAs evolve in two levels, i.e., phenotype-level and schema-level, and affect with each other through genetic operations. To search for solutions effectively, we devise new genetic operator by utilizing search mechanism of solution synthesis approach used in CSP community. Computational results on general CSPs confirm the effectiveness of our approach.
Transactive Coordination of Flexible Loads with Energy Storage through Day-ahead Scheduling (2019)

Energy storage is recently attracting greater interests as an another enabling technology for renewable integration in addition to flexible loads. In this paper, the optimal utilization of flexibility from both flexible loads and energy storage through price coordination is considered. In particular, a new transactive coordination is proposed to solve this problem through day-ahead scheduling. Both flexible loads and energy storage are treated as the participants along with generators in a day-ahead market with their own private and distinct objectives. An iterative market clearing method is developed to determine the day-ahead hourly locational marginal prices (LMPs), which takes into account the power flow constraints imposed by network interconnections. The simulation studies demonstrates the benefits of incorporating the flexibility of energy storage into the day-ahead scheduling.
Status and Perspective of Emitter Formation by POCl3-Diffusion (2015)

The advances in contact formation of screen printed Ag pastes and the related progress in emitter profile tailoring has been a key driver for recent efficiency improvements. This paper summarizes the current status of phosphorus-diffused emitters for p-type silicon solar cells and discusses two technological options for advanced tube furnace POCl3-diffusion processes: diluted source and in-situ post oxidation. Lower surface doping concentration levels are identified as key parameter for further reducing carrier recombination in the emitter. Using analytical modelling, we estimate potential efficiency improvements of 0.3%abs for PERC type solar cells from reducing the surface concentration from 2x1020 cm-3 down to 1019 cm-3. We also address the increasing importance of recombination at the metal contacts and investigate the role of the diffusion profile and sheet resistance by analytical modelling. If metal contact recombination is supressed by a selective emitter and/or advanced low recombination metallization pastes, a potential efficiency gain of 0.5%abs is predicted.

Estate Creditors, the Constitution, and the Uniform Probate Code (1996)

The United States Supreme Court's decision in Tulsa Professional Collection Services, Inc. v. Pope caused the usually staid legal enclave of estate administration to sit alert. The Court declared unconstitutional an Oklahoma statute that barred creditors of decedents from filing claims against the decedents' estates two months after published notice of the commencement of probate proceedings. The statute violated the due process rights of known and reasonably ascertainable creditors because it did not require a better form of notice to them. In failing to require actual notice to known creditors, the statute was not drastically atypical of other statutes regulating creditors' claims against the estates of deceased debtors. Therefore, it was not surprising that many legislatures, bar association committees, and scholars attempted to assess the effect of Pope on statutes in states other than Oklahoma. This article is a continuation of the dialogue on the impact of Pope, but it sounds a contrary note by arguing, first (and rather modestly), that the decision does not necessarily apply across the board because a number of statutory regimes, illustrated most prominently by the Uniform Probate Code, do not have the degree of “state action” that marked the Oklahoma statutory regime in Pope. Second (and more boldly), the article argues that the majority opinion in Pope erred in its application of constitutional due process principles to nonclaim statutes that cut off the creditors of decedents' estates.
Adhesion Promoting Polymer Interlayers for Ag Layers Deposited in OLED Processing (2010)

One of the main drivers for organic electronic research are the backplanes for flexible active-matrix displays using organic light-emitting diodes (AM-OLEDs). In our work, we processed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) at low temperatures (<160 degrees C) on poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) foils. There are several challenges in the integration of OLEDs on top of OTFT backplanes on a foil. One of them is the interlayer between the OTFT backplane and the OLEDs. For this layer, low-temperature crosslinkable, chemically resistant polymers are required, which, on the one hand, provide proper electrical insulation to OTFT and OLED devices and, on the other hand, can be processed reliably and provide good adhesion to the OLED anode. From the point of reflectivity and, therefore, light emission efficiency, Ag would be a preferred option. The challenge from the processing point of view is the poor adhesion of evaporated or e-beam deposited Ag on most surfaces. Commonly used microelectronic approaches such as sputtered metal or Ar pre-sputtering cannot be applied because of resulting surface leakage paths on the organic dielectric caused by dangling bonds. To address this issue, we tested a variety of low-temperature crosslinkable polymers (e.g., SU-8, parylene) regarding adhesion, roughness and processability and we measured the adhesion of the Ag deposited at different thicknesses using the Scotch tape test (ASTM D 3359). The best adhesion properties were obtained with parylene N allowing Ag layers with thicknesses up to 200 nm and surface roughness around 7-8 nm.
Local Variations and Temperature Dependence of Optical Absorption Coefficient in Natural IIa Type and CVD Diamond Optical Windows (2001)

We used the photothermal deflection (PTD) technique working in a collinear mode to measure optical absorption coefficient at the CO2 laser wavelength (10.6 μm) of polished CVD and natural type IIa diamond optical windows. The CO2 pump beam is focused to a spot size of about 100 μm, enabling the localized detection of variations in the optical absorption coefficient. For the first time, we present detailed 2D absorption maps of CVD diamond optical windows. The regions of enhanced absorption are visualized. The enhanced absorption above 0.03 cm—1 at 300 K is caused by non-diamond inclusions (“black spots”). The residual absorption coefficient 0.03 cm—1 at 300 K increases almost one decade at 900 K in natural type IIa single crystal diamond. Our results indicate that the intrinsic optical absorption at 10.6 μm is caused by two-phonon acoustic–acoustic interactions.

Lipase-Catalyzed Condensation Reaction of 4-Nitrobenzaldehyde with Acetyl Acetone in Aqueous–Organic Cosolvent Mixtures and in Nearly Anhydrous Media (2014)

The nature of the product(s) in lipase-catalyzed reaction of acetyl acetone with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde was found to depend upon the source of lipase and the reaction medium. Mucor javanicus lipase was found to give 70% aldol with 80% enantiomeric excess in anhydrous <i>t</i>-amyl alcohol. A 2:2 adduct was formed by the dimerization of the aldol along with an unsaturated cyclic ether as the side products in varying proportions depending upon the reaction medium and the lipase used.

Recent Results on Three Problems in Comparative Structural RNAomics (2014)

We review our recent results on three problems in Comparative Structural RNAomics. Our contribution includes: (1) a new worst-case bound for Discrete RNA Folding, (2) Unordered Unrooted Comparisons of RNA Trees, and (3) an RNA Homology Search where the query is an RNA sequence and the output consists of Sequence-Structure homology hits allowing pseudoknots and alternative stems. A common denominator of these three works is that they demonstrate research problems tackled within current structural RNAomics, whose solution extends to more general classical problems in Computer Science, yielding respectively: (1) a new theoretical bound for Discrete Min-Plus Matrix Multiplication, (2) a new theoretical bound for All-Pairs Cavity Bipartite Matching, and (3) new admissible heuristics to speed up Max Weighted Clique. Source code and web-interface for the tools can be found in our website http://www.cs.bgu.ac.il/~negevcb/.
Deeply-Learned Spatial Alignment for Person Re-Identification (2019)

A large class of Person Re-identification (ReID) approaches identify pedestrians with the TriHard loss. Though the TriHard loss is a robust ReID method, pose variance and viewpoint in pedestrians constrain the performance. To address this problem, we introduce a spatial transformer network (STN) to align pedestrians. Then, we illustrate the generality of the STN module in pose variance problem through the evaluations on feature representation network (FRN) like VGG, ResNet and DenseNet architectures respectively. Furthermore, based on the evaluation results, we propose a robust and high-performance ReID model which consists of the STN module, DenseNet backbone and TriHard loss. And finally, we prove that our ReID model is whole differentiable by formula derivation, therefore achieving an end-to-end high-performance ReID system. The experiments show that our ReID system outperforms the state-of-art methods on Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and CUHK03 datasets.
DG-LMC: A Turn-key and Scalable Synchronous Distributed MCMC Algorithm via Langevin Monte Carlo within Gibbs (2021)

Performing reliable Bayesian inference on a big data scale is becoming a keystone in the modern era of machine learning. A workhorse class of methods to achieve this task are Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and their design to handle distributed datasets has been the subject of many works. However, existing methods are not completely either reliable or computationally efficient. In this paper, we propose to fill this gap in the case where the dataset is partitioned and stored on computing nodes within a cluster under a master/slaves architecture. We derive a user-friendly centralised distributed MCMC algorithm with provable scaling in high-dimensional settings. We illustrate the relevance of the proposed methodology on both synthetic and real data experiments.
Retroviral transduction of the human c-Ha-ras-1 oncogene into midgestation mouse embryos promotes rapid epithelial hyperplasia. (1989)

Infection of mouse embryos at 8 days of gestation with a replication-defective retrovirus carrying the human c-Ha-ras-1 oncogene led to efficient and rapid induction of hyperplastic lesions. Twenty-four percent of viable off-spring developed abnormal growths after infection with purified virus. The lesions contained a single integrated provirus and produced viral RNA and the Ha-ras oncogene product (p21). The latency period between the time of infection and appearance of the lesions suggested that secondary alterations in addition to activated ras were necessary for neoplasms to develop. The earliest and most abundant growths were cutaneous and appeared from 4 to 36 weeks of age, with a median of 4 weeks of age. A number of subcutaneous lesions also developed over the same time span but at a median of 18 weeks of age. The rapid development of cutaneous lesions in response to transduction of the ras oncogene contrasts with other studies in which adult skin required secondary treatment with promoters prior to ras induction of epithelial hyperplasia. These results demonstrate that infection of midgestation mouse embryos allows rapid analysis of oncogene potency in skin.

miR-210 Expression Is Strongly Hypoxia-Induced in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Cell Lines and Is Associated with Extracellular Vesicles and Argonaute-2 (2023)

Hypoxia, or low oxygen tension, is frequently found in highly proliferative solid tumors such as anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) and is believed to promote resistance to chemotherapy and radiation. Identifying hypoxic cells for targeted therapy may thus be an effective approach to treating aggressive cancers. Here, we explore the potential of the well-known hypoxia-responsive microRNA (miRNA) miR-210-3p as a cellular and extracellular biological marker of hypoxia. We compare miRNA expression across several ATC and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) cell lines. In the ATC cell line SW1736, miR-210-3p expression levels indicate hypoxia during exposure to low oxygen conditions (2% O<sub>2</sub>). Furthermore, when released by SW1736 cells into the extracellular space, miR-210-3p is associated with RNA carriers such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) and Argonaute-2 (AGO2), making it a potential extracellular marker for hypoxia.
Effect of Mass Ratio on the Vortex-Induced Vibrations of a Long Tensioned Beam in Shear Flow (2010)

The flow past a cylindrical tensioned beam of aspect ratio 200 is predicted by direct numerical simulation of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The beam is free to oscillate in inline and crossflow directions and submitted to a linearly sheared oncoming flow. The ratio between high and low inflow velocities is 3.67, with a maximum Reynolds number of 330. Two structure/fluid mass ratios are considered, 6 and 3. Structure vortex-induced vibrations are characterized by mixed standing-traveling wave patterns. A reduction of mass ratio from 6 to 3 leads to purer, more pronounced traveling wave responses and larger amplitude vibrations in both directions. While multifrequency structure vibrations are observed at m = 6, case m = 3 exhibits monofrequency responses. A large zone of synchronization between vortex shedding and structure vibration (lock-in) is identified in the high velocity region. The topology of fluid-structure energy exchanges shows that the flow can excite the structure at lock-in and damps its vibrations in non-lock-in region. Inline/crossflow motion synchronization is monitored. Similar zigzagging patterns of inline/crossflow motion phase difference are put forward for both mass ratios, highlighting a predominant character of counterclockwise orbits in the excitation region.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Head and Neck (1986)

Magnetic resonance imaging (MR) has already gained wide acceptance in the evaluation of intracranial and spinal canal abnormalities. MR also provides excellent resolution of certain tumors of the head and neck and is particularly useful for the evaluation of neoplasms in the vicinity of the skull base. The absence of a bone signal prevents the streaking artifact so troublesome with computerized axial tomography (CT) and allows better definition of tumor. MR does not use ionizing radiation and appears to be an innocuous imaging mode--thus multiple examinations in young patients are not objectionable with MR. The ability to obtain images in multiple planes by control of the magnetic gradients allows for axial, sagittal, and coronal imaging, without changing the supine position of the patient. Multiple projections are helpful in providing better preoperative assessment of the extent and size of certain neoplasms of the neck.
Efficacy of Antigen 2/Proline-Rich Antigen cDNA-Transfected Dendritic Cells in Immunization of Mice against Coccidioides posadasii (2005)

Coccidioides posadasii causes coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever, in the endemic regions of the Southwestern United States. The susceptibility to C. posadasii infection has been attributed to a decreased Th1 cellular response. APCs, especially dendritic cells (DCs), play an important role in the activation of Th1 response. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of a DC-based vaccine against C. posadasii in a mouse model of coccidioidomycosis. We intranasally immunized C57BL6 mice with syngeneic, bone marrow-derived DCs (JAWS II cells) transfected with a cDNA encoding the protective Coccidioides-Ag2/proline-rich Ag. The immunized mice were lethally challenged with C. posadasii through either an i.p. or intranasal route. Upon necropsy after 10 days of infection, fungal burden in lung and spleen of immunized mice was significantly reduced as compared with the control animals. The lung tissue homogenates of immunized animals showed higher levels of IFN-gamma. Histologically, lung tissues of immunized mice were in better condition than the control mice. To further investigate, we studied the biodistribution and trafficking of injected DCs by nuclear imaging techniques. For this purpose, the transfected DCs were radiolabeled with (111)In-oxime. Scintigraphic images showed that most of the label remained in the gastrointestinal tract. A significant amount was also observed in lung, but there were negligible circulating (111)In label in blood. The results suggest that the DCs have a potent immunostimulatory activity, and immunization with DCs transfected with Ag2/proline-rich Ag-cDNA induces protective immunity against C. posadasii in C57BL6 mice.
Postoperative C-reactive protein/albumin ratio as a novel predictor for short-term complications following gastrectomy of gastric cancer (2017)

Elevated C-reactive protein/albumin ratio was an independent predictor for postoperative complications following gastrectomy of gastric cancer, and the diagnostic accuracy was higher than C-reactive protein alone. Overall, postoperative C-reactive protein/albumin ratio may help to identify patients with high probability of postoperative complications.
Reconfigurable active front-end of adjustable speed drives for power quality improvement (2009)

A new control scheme is proposed to utilize the active front-end of a high performance adjustable speed drives (ASD) to solve power quality problems caused by conventional diode/thyristor drives. Under the proposed control scheme, a fully controlled active front-end ASD acts as a local power quality conditioner in order to compensate harmonic currents as well as reactive power generated by other neighboring drives. In this way, power quality problems caused by multiple motor drives can be solved locally. The proposed solution can fully utilize the capability of the active front-end of ASDs and does not require vast replacement of conventional diode/thyristor ASD sets. Therefore, it can provide flexible and economical solutions for power quality improvement compared to other custom power devices. Simulation results verify the performance of the proposed active front-end configuration and control schemes.

Binding of Vac14 to neuronal nitric oxide synthase: Characterisation of a new internal PDZ‐recognition motif (2006)

PDZ domains mediate protein interactions primarily through either classical recognition of carboxyl-terminal motifs or PDZ/PDZ domain associations. Several studies have also described internal modes of PDZ recognition, most of which depend on beta-finger structures. Here, we describe a novel interaction between the PDZ domain of nNOS and Vac14, the activator of the PtdIns(3)P 5-kinase PIKfyve. Binding assays using various Vac14 deletion constructs revealed a beta-finger independent interaction that is based on a novel internal motif. Mutational analyses reveal essential residues within the motif allowing us to define a new type of PDZ domain interaction.
Heterogeneous cores for MapReduce processing: Opportunity or challenge? (2014)

To offer diverse computing capabilities, the emergent modern system on a chip (SoC) might include heterogeneous multi-core processors. The current SoC design is often constrained by a given power budget that forces designers to consider different decision trade-offs, e.g., to choose between many slow cores, fewer faster cores, or to select a combination of them. In this work, we design a new Hadoop scheduler, called DyScale, that exploits capabilities offered by heterogeneous cores for achieving a variety of performance objectives. Our preliminary performance evaluation results confirm potential benefits of heterogeneous multi-core processors for “faster” processing of the small, interactive MapReduce jobs, while at the same time offering an improved throughput and performance for large, batch job processing.
Statins for Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in a Low-Risk Population With Low Ankle Brachial Index (2016)
