A high-level programming environment for packet trace anonymization and transformation (2003)

Packet traces of operational Internet traffic are invaluable to network research, but public sharing of such traces is severely limited by the need to first remove all sensitive information. Current trace anonymization technology leaves only the packet headers intact, completely stripping the contents; to our knowledge, there are no publicly available traces of any significant size that contain packet payloads. We describe a new approach to transform and anonymize packet traces. Our tool provides high-level language support for packet transformation, allowing the user to write short policy scripts to express sophisticated trace transformations. The resulting scripts can anonymize both packet headers and payloads, and can perform application-level transformations such as editing HTTP or SMTP headers, replacing the content of Web items with MD5 hashes, or altering filenames or reply codes that match given patterns. We discuss the critical issue of verifying that anonymizations are both correctly applied and correctly specified, and experiences with anonymizing FTP traces from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for public release.
Combinations of Immunotherapy and Radiation in Cancer Therapy (2014)

The immune system has the ability to recognize and specifically reject tumors, and tumors only become clinically apparent once they have evaded immune destruction by creating an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Radiotherapy (RT) can cause immunogenic tumor cell death resulting in cross-priming of tumor-specific T-cells, acting as an in situ tumor vaccine; however, RT alone rarely induces effective anti-tumor immunity resulting in systemic tumor rejection. Immunotherapy can complement RT to help overcome tumor-induced immune suppression, as demonstrated in pre-clinical tumor models. Here, we provide the rationale for combinations of different immunotherapies and RT, and review the pre-clinical and emerging clinical evidence for these combinations in the treatment of cancer.
Modeling and Predicting User Actions in Recommender Systems (2016)

Many collaborative filtering recommender systems collect and use users' explicitly entered preferences in the form of ratings for items. However, in many real world scenarios, this form of feedback can be difficult to obtain or unavailable (e.g., news portals). In this case recommendations must be built by leveraging more abundant implicit feedback data, which only indirectly signal users' preferences or opinions. A record in such datasets is a result of an action performed by a user on an item (e.g., the item was clicked or viewed). State-of-the-art implicit feedback recommender systems predict whether the user will act on a target item and interpret this prediction as a discovered preference for the item. These models are trained by observations of user actions of one single type. For instance, they predict that a user will watch a video using a dataset of observed video watch actions. In this paper we conjecture that multiple types of user actions may be jointly exploited to predict one target type of actions. We present a general prediction model (MMF - Multiple action types Matrix Factorization) that implements this conjecture and we illustrate some practical examples. The empirical evaluation of MMF, which was conducted on a large real world dataset, shows that using multiple actions is beneficial and it can outperform a state-of-the-art implicit feedback model that uses only the target action data.
Solid-state relaxation NMR dataset for a water-soluble β-(1→3, 1→6)-glucan from Aureobasidium pullulans and schizophyllan from Schizophyllum commune (2019)

We report the solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation dataset for a triple helix and a random structure of water-soluble <i>Aureobasidium pullulans</i> β-(1→3, 1→6)-d-glucan (APG) and those of schizophyllan from <i>Schizophyllum commune</i> (SPG), obtained by the Bruker BioSpin 500 MHz NMR spectrometer. These data include solid-state proton spin-lattice relaxation in the rotating frame (<i>T</i> <sub>1ρH</sub>) and <sup>13</sup>C spin-lattice relaxation (<i>T</i> <sub>1C</sub>) of these two β-(1→3, 1→6)-glucans, which are related to the subject of article in <i>International Journal of Biological Macromolecules</i>, entitled "Characterization of the secondary structure and order-disorder transition of a β-(1→3, 1→6)-glucan from <i>Aureobasidium pullulans"</i> [1]. Data can help to investigate the structural characterization of the structural polysaccharides.

Three morphologically distinct types of interface develop between adult host and fetal brain transplants: Implications for scar formation in the adult central nervous system (1986)

The development of the host/graft interface of cerebellar and cerebral transplants was studied 1-60 days after operation. Grafts from fetal Wistar rats were transplanted to a cavity over the superior colliculus of adult rats by removing parts of the overlying cortex and hippocampus according to the Björklund/Stenevi technique. In sham-operated control rats, in which a cavity was made in the brain but no graft was implanted, the parenchyma bordering the entire cavity developed a complete glial-meningeal scar within 2 weeks after operation consisting of multilayered glial processes, a basal lamina, and fibroblasts (meningeal cells). A similar interface also developed between graft and host in the most superficial parts of the transplantation cavity. In the basal parts of the transplantation cavity, the host/graft interface consisted either of an incomplete sheet of astrocyte processes aligned in parallel to each other but without a covering basal lamina or of completely fused neuropil without any morphological signs of separation between host and transplant. It is concluded that these three zones of host/graft interface are established by differential interaction between the growing transplant and the host cicatrix. At the basal host/graft parenchymatous interface the fetal transplant interferes with the normal adult cicatrization process of the host, possibly by either releasing inhibitory factors or by preventing contact between the astroglia of the host and fibroblasts (meningeal cells). In white matter regions of the transplantation cavity, voluminous cysts developed, both in sham-operated controls and in graft recipients, which were invaded by transplanted neurons.
Transglutaminase 2 Inhibition for Prevention of Mucosal Damage in Celiac Disease (2021)

Celiac disease is a T-cell–mediated enteropathy induced by dietary gluten that shares many features with organ-specific autoimmune disorders.1 Celiac disease requires the presence of autoantibodies directed against the endogenous enzyme tissue transglutaminase 2 and occurs selectively in persons in whom the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 molecules, which harbor positively charged binding pockets, are expressed.1 These requirements were enigmatic given that gluten is an exogenous antigen that has very few negatively charged residues. The conundrum was solved with the discovery that autoantibodies are directed against transglutaminase 2,2 which forms a complex with gluten and increases its affinity for HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 by . . .
MESFET Distributed Amplifier Design Guidelines (1984)

In the paper, the analysis of GaAs MESFET distributed amplifiers and a systematic approach to their design are presented. The analysis focuses on fundamental design considerations and also establishes the maximum gain-bandwidth product of the amplifier.The design approach presented enables one to examine the tradeoffs between the variables, such as the device, the number of devices, and the impedances and cutoff frequency of the lines, and arrive at a design which gives the desired frequency response. Excellent agreement is shown when the theoretically predicted response of a typical amplifier is compared with computer-aided analysis results, and good agreement is shown with previously published experimental results.
The Long Intergenic Noncoding RNA (LincRNA) Landscape of the Soybean Genome (2017)

Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of diverse biological processes. However, our understanding of lincRNA abundance and function remains very limited especially for agriculturally important plants. Soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) is a major legume crop plant providing over a half of global oilseed production. Moreover, soybean can form symbiotic relationships with <i>Rhizobium</i> bacteria to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Soybean has a complex paleopolyploid genome and exhibits many vegetative and floral development complexities. Soybean cultivars have photoperiod requirements restricting its use and productivity. Molecular regulators of these legume-specific developmental processes remain enigmatic. Long noncoding RNAs may play important regulatory roles in soybean growth and development. In this study, over one billion RNA-seq read pairs from 37 samples representing nine tissues were used to discover 6,018 lincRNA loci. The lincRNAs were shorter than protein-coding transcripts and had lower expression levels and more sample specific expression. Few of the loci were found to be conserved in two other legume species (chickpea [<i>Cicer arietinum</i>] and <i>Medicago truncatula</i>), but almost 200 homeologous lincRNAs in the soybean genome were detected. Protein-coding gene-lincRNA coexpression analysis suggested an involvement of lincRNAs in stress response, signal transduction, and developmental processes. Positional analysis of lincRNA loci implicated involvement in transcriptional regulation. lincRNA expression from centromeric regions was observed especially in actively dividing tissues, suggesting possible roles in cell division. Integration of publicly available genome-wide association data with the lincRNA map of the soybean genome uncovered 23 lincRNAs potentially associated with agronomic traits.
Spatially adaptive image compression using a tiled deep network (2017)

Deep neural networks represent a powerful class of function approximators that can learn to compress and reconstruct images. Existing image compression algorithms based on neural networks learn quantized representations with a constant spatial bit rate across each image. While entropy coding introduces some spatial variation, traditional codecs have benefited significantly by explicitly adapting the bit rate based on local image complexity and visual saliency. This paper introduces an algorithm that combines deep neural networks with quality-sensitive bit rate adaptation using a tiled network. We demonstrate the importance of spatial context prediction and show improved quantitative (PSNR) and qualitative (subjective rater assessment) results compared to a non-adaptive baseline and a recently published image compression model based on fully-convolutional neural networks.
Capturing and viewing gigapixel images (2007)

We present a system to capture and view "Gigapixel images": very high resolution, high dynamic range, and wide angle imagery consisting of several billion pixels each. A specialized camera mount, in combination with an automated pipeline for alignment, exposure compensation, and stitching, provide the means to acquire Gigapixel images with a standard camera and lens. More importantly, our novel viewer enables exploration of such images at interactive rates over a network, while dynamically and smoothly interpolating the projection between perspective and curved projections, and simultaneously modifying the tone-mapping to ensure an optimal view of the portion of the scene being viewed.
Fluid jet polishing of optical surfaces (1998)

We present a new finishing process that is capable of locally shaping and polishing optical surfaces of complex shapes. A fluid jet system is used to guide a premixed slurry at pressures less than 6 bars to the optical surface. We used a slurry comprising water and 10% #800 SiC abrasives (21.8 mum) to reduce the surface roughness of a BK7 sample from 350 to 25 nm rms and to vary the shape of a polished sample BK7, maintaining its surface roughness of 1.6 nm rms, thereby proving both the shaping and polishing possibilities of the presented method.
The RF module design for W-CDMA/GSM dual band and dual mode handset (2001)

In this paper, novel RF front-ends for GSM/W-CDMA dual band and dual mode mobile terminal are described. The zero IF direct modulation transmitter and duel-superheterodyne receiver have been realized in the RF module development. The power down functions of the IC chip used to switch the RF module turn on the W-CDMA or GSM mode. Finally, the testing results are shown for both the W-CDMA and GSM modes.
Passive protection against rotavirus-induced diarrhea by monoclonal antibodies to surface proteins vp3 and vp7 (1986)

Monoclonal antibodies directed against two rotavirus surface proteins (vp3 and vp7) as well as a rotavirus inner capsid protein (vp6) were tested for their ability to protect suckling mice against virulent rotavirus challenge. Monoclonal antibodies to two distinct epitopes of vp7 of simian rotavirus strain RRV neutralized RRV in vitro and passively protected suckling mice against RRV challenge. A monoclonal antibody directed against vp3 of porcine rotavirus strain OSU neutralized three distinct serotypes in vitro (OSU, RRV, and UK) and passively protected suckling mice against OSU, RRV, and UK virus-induced diarrhea. The role of vp3 in eliciting protection against heterotypic rotavirus challenge should be considered when developing a vaccine with cloned rotavirus genes. Alternatively, immunization with a reassortant rotavirus containing vp3 and vp7 from two antigenically distinct rotavirus parents might protect against diarrhea induced by two or more rotavirus serotypes.
High-speed quantum-dot resonant-cavity SACM avalanche photodiodes operating at 1.06 /spl mu/m (1999)

The two most commonly used avalanche photodiodes (APDs) for near infrared applications are Si reach-through APDs or InGaAs/InP APDs with separate absorption and multiplication (SAM) regions. However, the wavelength region near 1 /spl mu/m is near the long-wavelength cutoff for Si photodiodes and the short-wavelength end of the spectral response of InGaAs-InP photodiodes. The best commercially available Si-IR enhanced APDs demonstrate quantum efficiencies below 40% and bandwidths below 250 MHz, while InGaAs/InP-based APDs shows higher dark current and higher avalanche noise. The wavelength of Nd:YAG lasers, 1.06 um, falls in this "sensitivity valley". Recently, it has been shown that self-assembled quantum-dots (QDs) can be utilized to extend the operating wavelength of GaAs-based materials to much longer wavelengths than can be accomplished with quantum wells. In the paper we describe a resonant-cavity separate absorption, charge and multiplication (SACM) In/sub 0.5/Ga/sub 0.5/As APD structure. Compared to our previous work, the gain has been increased from /spl sim/18 to >50 and we have measured the frequency response. In the low gain regime, the bandwidth is 35 GHz and at higher gains, where the frequency response is determined by the gain-bandwidth product, we observe a gain-bandwidth product of 220 GHz. To put this result in context, the best multiple-quantum-well APDs that are used for fiber optic transmission systems have gain-bandwidth products of 150 GHz.
A method for radiation-force localized drug delivery using gas-filled lipospheres (2004)

We have developed a method using ultrasound and acoustically active lipospheres (AALs) that might be used to deliver bioactive substances to the vascular endothelium. The AALs consist of a small gas bubble surrounded by a thick oil shell and enclosed by an outermost lipid layer. The AALs are similar to ultrasound contrast agents: they can be nondestructively deflected using ultrasound radiation force, and fragmented with high-intensity ultrasound pulses. The lipid-oil complex might be used to carry bioactive substances at high concentrations. An optimized sequence of ultrasound pulses can deflect the AALs toward a vessel wall then disrupt them, painting their contents across the vascular endothelium. This paper presents results from a series of in vitro and ex vivo experiments demonstrating localization of a fluorescent model drug. In experiments using a human melanoma cell (A2085) monolayer, a specific radiation force-fragmentation ultrasound pulse sequence increased cell fluorescence more than 10-fold over no ultrasound or fragmentation pulses alone, and by 50% over radiation force pulses alone. We observe that dye transfer is limited to cells that are in the region of ultrasonic focus, indicating that the application of radiation force pulses to bring the delivery vehicle into proximity with the cell is required for successful adhesion of the vehicle fragments to the cell membrane. We also demonstrate dye transfer from flowing AALs, both in a mimetic vessel and in excised rat cecum. We believe that this method could be successfully used for drug delivery in vivo.
Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives via Me3Al-Promoted Reactions of Organotin Compounds with Esters (1996)

Efficient synthetic methods for the construction of a wide variety of unsymmetrical tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs) via the Me(3)Al-promoted reactions of organotin thiolates or selenolates with esters are described. Reaction of tin thiolates (3a-c and 10) and selenolates (3d, 5, and 7) with esters (11a,b) in the presence of Me(3)Al as a Lewis acid gave dihydrotetrathiafulvalene derivatives (12, 14, 15, and 17-20) and 1,3-dithiane derivatives (13 and 16). In addition, the synthesis of diselenadithiafulvalene derivatives (25-28) could be accomplished by Me(3)Al-mediated reaction of tin thiolate (2a) or selenolates (3d and 5) with esters (22a, 22d, and 24). Furthermore, the application of the Me(3)Al-promoted reaction of tin thiolate (34) with esters (11a-b, 22a-d, and 35a-b) for the synthesis of unsymmetrical TTFs-fused donors enabled us to obtain various TTFs-fused systems (29-33) in short steps.
Intelligent Reflecting Surface Aided Multicasting with Random Passive Beamforming (2020)

In this letter, we consider a multicast system where a single-antenna transmitter sends a common message to multiple single-antenna users, aided by an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) equipped with $N$ passive reflecting elements. Prior works on IRS have mostly assumed the availability of channel state information (CSI) for designing its passive beamforming. However, the acquisition of CSI requires substantial training overhead that increases with $N$. In contrast, we propose in this letter a novel \emph{random passive beamforming} scheme, where the IRS performs independent random reflection for $Q\geq 1$ times in each channel coherence interval without the need of CSI acquisition. For the proposed scheme, we first derive a closed-form approximation of the outage probability, based on which the optimal $Q$ with best outage performance can be efficiently obtained. Then, for the purpose of comparison, we derive a lower bound of the outage probability with traditional CSI-based passive beamforming. Numerical results show that a small $Q$ is preferred in the high-outage regime (or with high rate target) and the optimal $Q$ becomes larger as the outage probability decreases (or as the rate target decreases). Moreover, the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the CSI-based passive beamforming scheme with training overhead taken into consideration when $N$ and/or the number of users are large, thus offering a promising CSI-free alternative to existing CSI-based schemes.

Streamer propagation in long point-plane oil gaps (2002)

Streamer propagation in a 67-mm point-plane gap has been studied by means of current and light registrations and streak and framing mode fast photography of the light emission. A strong bush-shape of positive streamers decreases gradually with increasing overvoltage. Negative streamers tend to resemble branched trees. In both, single channels flash up more or less regularly with associated current pulses. Negative streamers, and positive streamers at low overvoltages, grow fairly steadily across the gap at high supersonic speeds. Positive streamers at higher overvoltages bridge the gap from a mid-gap position in a fast event. Positive streamers seem to have their electron multiplication in the tips.
Sentiment analysis on 2D images of urban and indoor spaces using deep learning architectures (2022)

This paper focuses on the determination of the evoked sentiments to people by observing outdoor and indoor spaces, aiming to create a tool for designers and architects that can be utilized for sophisticated designs. Since sentiment is subjective, the design process can be facilitated by an ancillary automated tool for sentiment extraction. Simultaneously, a dataset containing both real and virtual images of vacant architectural spaces is introduced, while the SUN attributes are also extracted from the images in order to be included throughout training. The dataset is annotated towards both valence and arousal, while five established and two custom architectures, one which has never been used before in classifying abstract concepts, are evaluated on the collected data.
Modulation Bandwidth Enhancement in Distributed Reflector Laser Based on Identical Active Layer Approach (2018)

We demonstrate a distributed reflector (DR) laser with the distributed feedback (DFB) section and the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) section sharing the same multiple-quantum-well structure. The DR laser exhibits a stable dynamic single-longitudinal mode characteristic. A direct modulation bandwidth of 27 GHz is obtained through the detuned-loading effect and photon-photon resonance effect. The fabrication process of the DR laser is simplified due to the identical active layer structure and the uniform grating in the DFB and DBR sections.
Bandwidth efficient parallelconcatenated coding schemes (1995)

The authors propose a solution to the parallel concatenation of trellis codes with multilevel amplitude/phase modulations and a suitable iterative decoding structure. Examples are given for throughputs 2 bit/s/Hz with 8PSK and 16QAM signal constellations. For parallel concatenated trellis codes in the examples, rate 2/3 and 4/5, 16-state binary convolutionai codes with Gray code mapping are used. The performances of these codes are within 1 dB of the Shannon limit at a bit error probability of 10-6 for a given throughput. This outperforms all codes reported in the past for the same throughput.
