Comparing Population Means under Local Differential Privacy: with Significance and Power (2018)

A statistical hypothesis test determines whether a hypothesis should be rejected based on samples from populations. In particular, randomized controlled experiments (or A/B testing) that compare population means using, e.g., t-tests, have been widely deployed in technology companies to aid in making data-driven decisions. Samples used in these tests are collected from users and may contain sensitive information. Both the data collection and the testing process may compromise individuals' privacy. In this paper, we study how to conduct hypothesis tests to compare population means while preserving privacy. We use the notation of local differential privacy (LDP), which has recently emerged as the main tool to ensure each individual's privacy without the need of a trusted data collector. We propose LDP tests that inject noise into every user's data in the samples before collecting them (so users do not need to trust the data collector), and draw conclusions with bounded type-I (significance level) and type-II errors (1 - power). Our approaches can be extended to the scenario where some users require LDP while some are willing to provide exact data. We report experimental results on real-world datasets to verify the effectiveness of our approaches.
Gaps Between Aims and Achievements in Therapeutic Modification of Neuronal Damage (“Neuroprotection”) (2015)

The term "neuroprotection" is often misused, overused, or misunderstood. A reasonable definition of neuroprotection refers to the preservation of "neuronal structure and/or function." Although our knowledge about the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration has expanded, experimental systems and animal models that mimic the process or allow translation into clinical success remain limited. This editorial discusses reasons for this gap and strategies to close it. Experimental models can only mirror certain aspects of disease mechanisms in humans. Therefore, findings in these models need to be linked with patient data to improve real-life relevance. Successful neuroprotection depends on finding the right "window of opportunity" which varies from very short (stroke) to very long (Alzheimer's disease), necessitating the need to focus on strategies for very early disease recognition. This need challenges the strategies to be chosen, trial approaches and methodologies, and the allocation of resources. Additionally, outcome measures are often not well suited to assess neuroprotection. To this end, surrogate measures, including biomarkers, are useful endpoints to demonstrate evidence of target directed therapeutic utility. Finally, studies have shown that neuroprotection is not likely to succeed when targeting only one pathway. These obstacles have reduced the level of enthusiasm for neuroprotection in certain disease areas (e.g., stroke). Academia, industry, regulatory authorities, funding agencies and patient organizations have to cooperate to a greater extent in order to overcome these impediments and to encourage nonclassical concepts. These concepts will be interdisciplinary in order to achieve meaningful disease modification.
Search of ligands for the amyloidogenic protein β2‐microglobulin by capillary electrophoresis and other techniques (2005)

Beta2-microglobulin (beta2-m) is a small amyloidogenic protein normally present on the surface of most nucleated cells and responsible for dialysis-related amyloidosis, which represents a severe complication of long-term hemodialysis. A therapeutic approach for this amyloidosis could be based on the stabilization of beta2-m through the binding to a small molecule, and consequent inhibition of protein misfolding and amyloid fibril formation. A few compounds have been described to weakly bind beta2-m, including the drug suramin. The lack of a binding site for nonpolypeptidic ligands on the beta2-m structure makes it difficult for both the identification of functional groups responsible for the binding and the search of hits to be optimized. The characterization of the binding properties of suramin for beta2-m by using three different techniques (surface plasmon resonance, affinity CE (ACE), ultrafiltration) is here described and the results obtained are compared. The common features of the chemical structures of the compounds known to bind the protein led us to select 200 sulfonated/suramin-like molecules from a wider chemical library on the basis of similarity rules, so as to possibly single out some interesting hits and to gain more information on the functional groups involved in the binding. The development of screening methods to test the compounds by using ultrafiltration and ACE is described.
Geriatric rehabilitation of lower limb amputees: a multicenter study (2011)

The presence of DM and high premorbid BI were associated with discharge to an independent living situation within 1 year after admission. Premorbid BI, admission BI, and 1-leg balance were independently associated to discharge BI.
Coherent Shear Phonon Generation and Detection with Ultrashort Optical Pulses (2004)

Using an optical technique we generate and detect picosecond shear and quasishear coherent acoustic phonon pulses in the time domain. Thermoelastic and piezoelectric generation are directly achieved by breaking the sample lateral symmetry using crystalline anisotropy. We demonstrate efficient detection in isotropic and anisotropic media with various optical incidence geometries.
Training Deep Neural Networks with Joint Quantization and Pruning of Weights and Activations (2021)

Quantization and pruning are core techniques used to reduce the inference costs of deep neural networks. State-of-the-art quantization techniques are currently applied to both the weights and activations; however, pruning is most often applied to only the weights of the network. In this work, we jointly apply novel uniform quantization and unstructured pruning methods to both the weights and activations of deep neural networks during training. Using our methods, we empirically evaluate the currently accepted prune-then-quantize paradigm across a wide range of computer vision tasks and observe a non-commutative nature when applied to both the weights and activations of deep neural networks. Informed by these observations, we articulate the non-commutativity hypothesis: for a given deep neural network being trained for a specific task, there exists an exact training schedule in which quantization and pruning can be introduced to optimize network performance. We identify that this optimal ordering not only exists, but also varies across discriminative and generative tasks. Using the optimal training schedule within our training framework, we demonstrate increased performance per memory footprint over existing solutions.
Pre-Operative Twin Anemia/Polycythemia in the Setting of Twin-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) (2015)

A VQ-based preprocessor using cepstral dynamic features for speaker-independent large vocabulary word recognition (1988)

A VQ (vector quantization)-based preprocessor is proposed which reduces the amount of computation in speaker-independent large-vocabulary isolated-word recognition. The features introduced here are the use of a universal codebook in the VQ-based preprocessor and the use of multiple feature sets including cepstral dynamic features. Word-specific codebooks are used for front-end preprocessing to eliminate word candidates whose distance scores are large. A dynamic time-warping (DTW) processor based on a word dictionary, in which each word is represented as a time sequence of the universal codebook elements (SPLIT method), then resolves the choice among the remaining word candidates. Recognition experiments using a database consisting of words from a vocabulary of 100 Japanese city names uttered by 20 male speakers confirmed the effectiveness of this method. The total amount of calculation necessary in this condition is almost 1/10 of that without preprocessing.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence Analysis of Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acid for Bovine Preproinsulin* (1987)

A cDNA library was prepared from poly(A+) RNA isolated from fetal bovine pancreas. Bacterial colonies were screened for sequences homologous to a rat preproinsulin I cDNA probe. Ten positive clones were selected at random and further studied. Northern blot analyses revealed that seven of these clones hybridized to a single RNA species, of approximately 400 nucleotides. Sequence analysis of one of these clones (pbI2885) revealed the entire structural region of bovine preproinsulin mRNA including a 72 nucleotide region encoding a signal peptide enriched in hydrophobic residues. The overall nucleotide homology between bovine and human preproinsulin mRNA was 76% for the preregion, 89% for the A chain, 83% for the B chain, and 68% for the C peptide (including a 15 nucleotide deletion).
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid prevents oxygen free radical damage to granulation tissue during wound healing. (2002)

Hyaluronic acid protects granulation tissue from oxygen free radical damage and stimulates wound healing, but its molecular weight prevents it from permeating the epidermal barrier A low molecular weight hyaluronic acid preparation is able to permeate the skin, but it is unknown whether or not it retains the scavenging effects of oxygen free radicals in granulation tissue. Our experiments were conducted in rats with excisional or incisional wounds. Wound contraction over 11 days and breaking strength on the fifth day were measured. Oxygen free radical production was induced by intraperitoneal administration of two different xenobiotics: phenazine methosulfate and zymosan. The wounds were treated topically with low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (0.2%) cream or placebo. In the incisional wound group, the effects of superoxide dismutase were also determined. Absolute controls received wounds and placebo but no xenobiotics. Wound healing was significantly slower in the xenobiotic group than in the control groups. These effects were strongly reduced by topical administration of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (0.2%) cream and in incisional wounds by topically injected superoxide dismutase. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is effective as the native compound against oxygen free radicals. Its pharmacological effects through transdermal administration should be tested in appropriate models.
Computational Analysis of a Pipe Flow Distributor for a Thermocline Based Thermal Energy Storage System (2012)

The overall efficiency of a Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant depends on the effectiveness of Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system [1]. A single tank TES system consists of a thermocline region which produces the temperature gradient between hot and cold storage fluid by density difference [2]. Preservation of this thermocline region in the tank during charging and discharging cycles depends on the uniformity of the velocity profile at any horizontal plane. Our objective is to maximize the uniformity of the velocity distribution using a pipe-network distributor by varying the number of holes, distance between the holes, position of the holes and number of distributor pipes. For simplicity, we consider that the diameter of the inlet, main pipe, the distributor pipes and the height and the width of the tank are constant. We use Hitec® molten salt as the storage medium and the commercial software Gambit 2.4.6 and Fluent 6.3 for the computational analysis. We analyze the standard deviation in the velocity field and compare the deviations at different positions of the tank height for different configurations. Since, the distance of the holes from the inlet and their respective arrangements affects the flow distribution throughout the tank; we investigate the impacts of rearranging the holes position on flow distribution. Impact of the number of holes and distributor pipes are also analyzed. We analyze our findings to determine a configuration for the best case scenario.
Acoustic Noise of Switched Reluctance and Permanent Magnet Motors: A Comparison in the Context of Electric Brakes (2007)

It is held as fact that Permanent Magnet (PM) brushless motors are less noisy than Switched Reluctance (SR) motors, and many methods have been published to reduce the noise of SR drives. This paper provides a systematic experimental comparison of both drives, and of proposed noise- mitigation strategies, in the context of a specific mass-market application: Automotive Electro Mechanical Brakes (EMB). The two motors were designed to fit into the same envelope and to produce similar dynamic performance for the brake system. Sound pressure levels produced by the two motors at key torque-speed points were measured through dynamometer tests under identical conditions. The influence of the hysteresis current and PWM control methods on the acoustic noise was also studied. The acoustic noise was then measured with the EMB systems assembled with the PM and SR motors. Though the measured acoustic noise of the SR motor with dynamometer tests was higher compared to that of the PM motor, the acoustic noise levels of the two EMB systems were found to be similar with only a slight advantage to the PM based system.
Inhibition of prolyl 4-hydroxylase by oxalyl amino acid derivatives in vitro, in isolated microsomes and in embryonic chicken tissues (1994)

The potency of oxalyl amino acid derivatives as inhibitors of prolyl 4-hydroxylase was studied in vitro, in isolated microsomes and in chicken embryonic-tissue culture. These compounds represent structural analogues of 2-oxoglutarate in which the -CH2- moiety at C-3 is replaced by -NH-, with or without further structural modifications. The most efficient inhibitor of purified prolyl 4-hydroxylase was oxalylglycine. Its mode of inhibition was competitive with respect to 2-oxoglutarate. The Ki value varied between 1.9 and 7.8 microM, depending on the variable substrate used. Oxalylalanine inhibited purified enzyme with a Ki of 40 microM. Other oxalyl amino acid derivatives showed little inhibitory activity. In microsomes isolated from embryonic chicken bone, oxalylglycine and oxalylalanine inhibited prolyl hydroxylation with IC50 values of 23 and 120 microM respectively. Dimethyloxalylglycine was not an inhibitor of purified prolyl 4-hydroxylase and only weakly active in the microsomal system, but efficiently suppressed hydroxyproline synthesis in embryonic chicken calvaria and lung. The data suggest that dimethyloxalyl amino acids are converted into active inhibitors in intact cells, most likely in the cytoplasmic compartment.
The Locust's tympanal mechanics (2008)

In the ear of the desert locust frequency analysis arises from the mechanical properties of the tympanal membrane. Incident sound is spatially decomposed into discrete frequency components through a tympanal travelling wave that funnels mechanical energy to specific tympanal locations, where distinct groups of mechanoreceptor neurones project. Initial analysis of the travelling waves employs conventional, steady state FFT, allowing a detailed analysis of the spatial composition of different frequencies onto the membrane. To further understand the exact mechanics of the tympanal travelling wave, its motion was also measured in the time domain to characterise its response to single impulse and single frequency stimuli, with a resolution of 390 ns. This allows the measurement of instantaneous wave velocity and the direct observation of wave compression across the tympanum. The locust tympanal membrane locust exploits tonotopic frequency analysis, in a similar sense to that of the travelling waves of von Békésy on the mammalian basilar membrane. However, von Békésy's wave is born from interactions between the anisotropic basilar membrane and surrounding incompressible fluids, whereas the locust's wave rides on an anisotropic membrane suspended in air. The locust's tympanum thus combines the functions of both sound reception and frequency analysis.
EVOLUTION OF GASTROINTESTINAL SOUND CHANGES AFTER SMALL BOWEL OBSTRUCTION IN AN EXPERIMENTAL RAT MODEL (1998)

92 A rat model was developed to study gastrointestinal sound (GIS) correlates of small obstruction (SBO). Methods: Computerized analysis of GIS was performed in control and SBO rats under continuous IV sedation. Every GIS event was isolated and analyzed for dominant frequency and duration. Statistical significance was calculated using the Fisher Exact Test and Random Effects Models, while correlation coefficients were calculated using Pearson's formula. Results: Long duration events (>100 ms) were encountered in each of seven obstructed, but in none of 14 non-obstructed cases (p<.001). The mean event duration was significantly longer (17.2 ± 1.4 vs. 4.5 ± 0.2 ms, p<.001) in SBO versus control cases. Progressive lowering of GIS event frequency after SBO was observed with time (p<.003). Progressive lengthening of the longest event was also seen, but this effect just missed statistical significance (p=.055). Conclusions: GIS analysis may prove useful not only for SBO diagnosis, but in staging its progression.
Fabrication of Patterned Inorganic–Organic Hybrid Film for the Optical Waveguide by Microfluidic Lithography (2005)

Inorganic–organic hybrid materials for the optical waveguide were synthesized by the sol–gel process starting from the acid‐catalyzed solutions of phenyltrimethoxysilane, methyltriethoxysilane, and tetraethylorthosilicate. The control of the refractive index in the organically modified silicate films was achieved by varying the content of phenyltrimethoxysilane incorporated as a refractive index modifier. A single spin‐coating with the precursor solution produced a crack‐free buffer layer of 22‐μm thickness with a dense microstructure. For the fabrication of the patterned guiding layer on top of the buffer layer, the microfluidic lithography method was used. The patterned microlines of the linewidth of 20–35 μm with a sharp edge definition could form by filling the precursor solutions into the microchannels associated with the polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic device. The patterned guiding layer was optically transparent as similar as the bare quartz glass at the wavelength above 500 nm and had a low propagation loss of 0.77 dB/cm at 1310 nm.
Platinum Islands on SAMs as Template for Enzyme-Catalyzed Glucose Oxidation (2011)

Multilayer electrodes for highly enantioselective sugar conversion are obtained by using monoatomically high platinum islands as pattern for further electrode modification with pyranose-2-oxidase (P2Ox). We describe this kind of electrode for the glucose oxidation. The reaction is monitored via the H2O2 production by the enzyme as side product. As first layer, a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is arranged on the Au(111) surface via dip coating in a solution of 4-mercaptopyridine. On top of the SAM, a controlled distribution of platinum islands is obtained by a combination of electroless and electrochemical deposition using a solution of K2PtCl4. The platinum islands have a diameter of about 6 nm. Thereon, poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAA) obtained by dip coating provides a linker for immobilization of the enzyme pyranose-2-oxidase. Our assumption is that only one enzyme molecule is bound to one platinum island. This well ordered surface structure is probably the reason for the very high conversion efficiency.
Resource Allocation in Wireless Mesh Networks (2016)

A wireless network with a mesh topology works reliably and offers redundancy. In modern broadband wireless mesh networks using MIMO and OFDMA techniques, the problems of time, frequency, and space resource allocations, synchronization, and routing, are not only different from a cellular system, they are more complicated due to system architecture and distributed control and management. This paper focuses on OFDMA wireless mesh network systems and the problem of time/frequency resource allocation, particularly with regard to subcarriers.

From laser ultrasonics to optical manipulation (2015)

During the interaction of a laser pulse with the surface of a solid object, the object always gains momentum. The delivered force impulse is manifested as propulsion. Initially, the motion of the object is composed of elastic waves that carry and redistribute the acquired momentum as they propagate and reflect within the solid. Even though only ablation- and light-pressure-induced mechanical waves are involved in propulsion, they are always accompanied by the ubiquitous thermoelastic waves. This paper describes 1D elastodynamics of pulsed optical manipulation and presents two diametrical experimental observations of elastic waves generated in the confined ablation and in the radiation pressure regime.
