Design of Multi-hop Qos Scheduling for IEEE 802.16 Networks (2013)

Broadband wireless networks are increasing in popularity owing to current advances in technology. For large area network deployment, IEEE 802.16 mesh networks can provide a wide coverage, high speed and high quality multimedia service. IEEE 802.16 mesh configuration eliminates the need to have direct links between subscriber stations (SSs) and the base station (BS); a node can choose the links and path of the highest quality to transmit data and avoid the congested areas. To provide better Quality of Service (QoS) over the 802.16 network, the network layer 3 (L3) and layer 2 (L2) QoS must be integrated. Hence, cross-layer mechanisms were designed and incorporated into our previously proposed IEEE 802.16 QoS frameworks. Taking into consideration resource utilization and QoS requirements, we devised various scheduling schemes to determine their effects on the IEEE 802.16 mesh network. Our performance evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework with enhancement scheduling has higher throughput, lower delay and signal cost than comparable systems. In this paper, we provide an appraisal of our proposed scheme.
Simultaneous Genotyping of Multiple Somatic Mutations by Using a Clamping PNA and PNA Detection Probes (2014)

It has been very difficult to detect and quantify multiple somatic mutations simultaneously in single-tube qPCR. Here, a novel method for simultaneous detection of multiple mutations and a melting curve analysis was developed by using clamping PNA and detection PNA probes. Each PNA probe was designed to have a specific melting temperature by the introduction of γ-PNA monomer. This technique was successfully applied to the detection of six genotypes in two different mutations of K-RAS at the same time. Such simultaneous analysis of an amplified curve and a melting curve in qPCR can be widely used for the early diagnosis of cancer and determining the prognosis of drug treatments.
Hot forging of MAX compounds SHS-produced in the Ti-Al-C system (2009)

Investigated was the forgeability (extent of compression) of still hot SHS products (MAX phases) formed in the Ti-Al-C system at relatively low applied pressures (1.5–15.0 MPa in a press punch) in conditions of free SHS compression. The extent of compression was measured as a function of time delay (between the end of reaction and compression) and applied pressure. Characterized were the microstructure and phase composition of thus obtained MAX compounds.
Hydrogen peroxide mediates plant root cell response to nutrient deprivation (2004)

Potassium (K(+)) is an essential nutrient required by plants in large quantities, but changes in soil concentrations may limit K(+) acquisition by roots. It is not known how plant root cells sense or signal the changes that occur after the onset of K(+) deficiency. Changes in the kinetics of Rb(+) uptake in Arabidopsis roots occur within 6 h after K(+) deprivation. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ethylene increased when the plants were deprived of K(+). ROS accumulated in a discrete region of roots that has been shown to be active in K(+) uptake and translocation. Suppression of an NADPH oxidase in Arabidopsis (rhd2), which is involved in ROS production, prevented the up-regulation of genes that are normally induced by K(+) deficiency, but the induction of high-affinity K(+) transport activity was unchanged. Application of H(2)O(2) restored the expression of genes induced by K(+) deficiency in rhd2 and was also sufficient to induce high-affinity K(+) transport activity in roots grown under K(+)-sufficient conditions. ROS production is an early root response to K(+) deficiency that modulates gene expression and physiological changes in the kinetics of K(+) uptake.
Evidence for activation of inflammatory lipoxygenase pathways in visceral adipose tissue of obese Zucker rats (2010)

Central obesity is associated with low-grade inflammation that promotes type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in obese individuals. The 12- and 5-lipoxygenase (12-LO and 5-LO) enzymes have been linked to inflammatory changes, leading to the development of atherosclerosis. 12-LO has also been linked recently to inflammation and insulin resistance in adipocytes. We analyzed the expression of LO and proinflammatory cytokines in adipose tissue and adipocytes in obese Zucker rats, a widely studied genetic model of obesity, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome. mRNA expression of 12-LO, 5-LO, and 5-LO-activating protein (FLAP) was upregulated in adipocytes and adipose tissue from obese Zucker rats compared with those from lean rats. Concomitant with increased LO gene expression, the 12-LO product 12-HETE and the 5-LO products 5-HETE and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) were also increased in adipocytes. Furthermore, upregulation of key proinflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-6, TNFα, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were observed in adipocytes isolated from obese Zucker rats. Immunohistochemistry indicated that the positive 12-LO staining in adipose tissue represents cells in addition to adipocytes. This was confirmed by Western blotting in stromal vascular fractions. These changes were in part reversed by the novel anti-inflammatory drug lisofylline (LSF). LSF also reduced p-STAT4 in visceral adipose tissue from obese Zucker rats and improved the metabolic profile, reducing fasting plasma glucose and increasing insulin sensitivity in obese Zucker rats. In 3T3-L1 adipocytes, LSF abrogated the inflammatory response induced by LO products. Thus, therapeutic agents reducing LO or STAT4 activation may provide novel tools to reduce obesity-induced inflammation.
A broadband pseudo-cascade active control system (1992)

Because conventional feedback control systems have a gain-bandwidth limitation, a given level of noise reduction can only be achieved over a limited bandwidth. For a conventional control system, this limitation can be alleviated by using multiple stages in cascade, each stage dedicated to a portion of the desired operating band. However, for active noise cancellation there is a problem because only one entry point to the system is available and a direct cascade is not physically possible. The pseudocascade configuration is introduced for alleviating this problem. An analysis of a single-stage broadband active control system characterizes the response by the cancellation bandwidth and the out-of-band overshoot. These results are then used to synthesize a multistage cascade with offset reference frequencies. A numerical example of a sixth-order three-stage design shows that for a 4 dB overshoot constraint, the 15 dB cancellation bandwidth is increased by a factor of 2 compared with the single-stage design. A further increase of cancellation bandwidth can be achieved with additional stages.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Stabilization of Cytochrome P450j Messenger Ribonucleic Acid in the Diabetic Rat (1987)

Cytochrome P450j, an enzyme involved in nitrosamine metabolism, is expressed in hepatic, pulmonary, and renal tissues and its level is elevated in ethanol- and acetone-treated rats as well as in diabetic rats induced by either streptozotocin or alloxan. Although P450j protein is substantially elevated by all inducing regimens, only in diabetic rats is P450j mRNA increased 10-fold. Nuclear run-on transcription analysis showed that this mRNA increase is not due to transcriptional activation but is due to specific stabilization of the P450j mRNA.

Comorbid psychiatric disorders did not affect the survival rate of liver transplant recipients in this study.
Windowing and estimation variance in deconvolution (1982)

Abstract Spiking deconvolution operators are computed using the Levinson and orthonormal lattice filter algorithms. By comparing the amplitude and phase spectra of the operators, the differences between the two methods are shown to be strictly tied to the differences in how the algorithms handle the windowing problem. Also, the two methods are equivalent if the windowing problem can be overcome through the use of multipass deconvolution prior to the application of an interpretive wavelet. The most significant effect of windowing is to introduce errors in the estimate of the phase spectrum. When a filter is computed from a single trace, estimation variance in the filter is high. Spatial averaging in the filter design process can overcome a large part of this problem and produce sections with better lateral continuity. The parameters averaged spatially are the autocorrelations and the inner products for the Levinson and orthonormal lattice filter algorithms, respectively. This suggests that short window, time, and space varying deconvolution is undesirable and that the geology is better defined by using operators which result from averaging over several independent estimates. Analysis of the phase spectra of the deconvolution operators computed for synthetic and real data indicates that selection of the interpretive wavelet based on the phase spectrum of the deconvolution operator is the best approach to reject the frequencies which will have a large phase error in the deconvolved section.

Chapter 14. Compartment Models (2009)

Models are used to describe and interpret a set of data obtained by experimentation. A model in pharmacokinetics is a hypothetical structure that can be used to characterize with reproducibility the behavior and the “fate” of a drug in biological systems when given by a certain route of administration and in a particular dosage form. A compartment is an entity that can be described by a definite volume and a concentration (of drug contained in the volume).
Filament Winding Cylinders (1990)

Analytical and experimental studies were performed to validate the model developed by Lee and Springer for simulating the manufacturing process of filament wound composite cylinders. First, results calculated by the Lee-Springer model were com pared to results of the Calius-Springer thin cylinder model. Second, temperatures and strains calculated by the Lee-Springer model were compared to data. The data used in these comparisons were generated during the course of this investigation with cylinders made of Hercules IM-6G/HBRF-55 and Fiberite T-300/976 graphite-epoxy tows. Good agreement was found between the calculated and measured stresses and strains, indicating that the model is a useful representation of the winding and curing processes.
Intra-Minute Cloud Passing Forecasting Based on a Low Cost IoT Sensor—A Solution for Smoothing the Output Power of PV Power Plants (2017)

Clouds moving at a high speed in front of the Sun can cause step changes in the output power of photovoltaic (PV) power plants, which can lead to voltage fluctuations and stability problems in the connected electricity networks. These effects can be reduced effectively by proper short-term cloud passing forecasting and suitable PV power plant output power control. This paper proposes a low-cost Internet of Things (IoT)-based solution for intra-minute cloud passing forecasting. The hardware consists of a Raspberry PI Model B 3 with a WiFi connection and an OmniVision OV5647 sensor with a mounted wide-angle lens, a circular polarizing (CPL) filter and a natural density (ND) filter. The completely new algorithm for cloud passing forecasting uses the green and blue colors in the photo to determine the position of the Sun, to recognize the clouds, and to predict their movement. The image processing is performed in several stages, considering selectively only a small part of the photo relevant to the movement of the clouds in the vicinity of the Sun in the next minute. The proposed algorithm is compact, fast and suitable for implementation on low cost processors with low computation power. The speed of the cloud parts closest to the Sun is used to predict when the clouds will cover the Sun. WiFi communication is used to transmit this data to the PV power plant control system in order to decrease the output power slowly and smoothly.

A joint channel allocation and power control scheme for interference mitigation in high-density WLANs (2013)

Wi-Fi devices are popular because of low cost and easy deployment, which lead to high density of WLANs in urban areas. Due to high density, WLANs suffer performance degradation unless networks interfering with each other can allocate wireless resource reasonably. Hence, our goal is to minimize the interference caused by high density of WLANs and in turn it helps improve throughput. In this paper, a joint distributed algorithm is proposed to achieve the goal. Firstly, thirteen overlapping channels are allocated to APs based on principles that neighboring APs have large channel spacing. Secondly, the lowest power value that maintains communication is obtained through estimating locations of users. Then power is adjusted according to SINR ranging from the lowest power value to default power value. Simulation results demonstrate that our presented algorithm enhances performance greatly, in light of user throughput, interference and power, compared to the traditional regimes.

MECHANOBIOLOGY OF ENGINEERING ARTICULAR CARTILAGE (2002)

The term “mechanobiology ” is relatively new. In 1997, Carter and his colleague provided the definition, “mechanobiol-ogy is the study of how mechanical or physical conditions regulate biologic processes.”1 In the past, most of the research
Effects of Full-Fat and Fermented Dairy Products on Cardiometabolic Disease: Food Is More Than the Sum of Its Parts (2019)

Current dietary recommendations to limit consumption of saturated fat are largely based on early nutrition studies demonstrating a direct link between dietary saturated fat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. As full-fat dairy products are rich in saturated fat, these dietary guidelines recommend consumption of fat-free or low-fat dairy products in place of full-fat dairy. However, dairy products vary greatly in both their nutrient content and their bioactive ingredients, and research increasingly highlights the importance of focusing on whole foods (i.e., the food matrix) as opposed to single nutrients, such as saturated fat. In fact, the weight of evidence from recent large and well-controlled studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses of both observational studies and randomized controlled trials indicates that full-fat dairy products, particularly yogurt and cheese, do not exert the detrimental effects on insulin sensitivity, blood lipid profile, and blood pressure as previously predicted on the basis of their sodium and saturated fat contents; they do not increase cardiometabolic disease risk and may in fact protect against cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Although more research is warranted to adjust for possible confounding factors and to better understand the mechanisms of action of dairy products on health outcomes, it becomes increasingly clear that the recommendation to restrict dietary saturated fat to reduce risk of cardiometabolic disease is getting outdated. Therefore, the suggestion to restrict or eliminate full-fat dairy from the diet may not be the optimal strategy for reducing cardiometabolic disease risk and should be re-evaluated in light of recent evidence.
Reasoning Explanation Capability Of Expert System A New Framework For Explanation (2005)

The explanatory capability is the important, performance of expert system, which could greatly improve the understandability for both user and system developer. The currently available explanation systems are often subjected to the limitations such as Identifying causal relation from inference process and choosing suitable item as reprebsentation of explanation. This paper proposes an approach to give explanation in general: construction of expert System, which attempts to, catch useful information based on comparing knowledge base with inference process, provide means towards machine- generated explanation, and describe a formal framework for the problem of explanation.
Optical properties of ZnSe/(Zn,Mn)Se multiquantum wells (1985)

Luminescence, excitation, and reflectance spectroscopy have been employed to study the exciton ground state in ZnSe/(Zn,MnSe) multiquantum wells. We find that the ground state shows splittings which are attributed to the superlattice layer strain. The measured large magneto-optical shifts and splittings indicate that the valence-band discontinuity is likely to be quite small in these structures.
Prospectively-followed pregnancies in patients with inflammatory arthritis taking biological drugs: an Italian multicentre study. (2015)

TNF-alpha inhibitors can be considered safe in the periconception period, representing a possible therapeutic choice also in young women affected by an aggressive form of chronic arthritis and hoping for a pregnancy. Reports of exposure during 2nd/3rd trimester are still limited and suggest caution. Experience with abatacept, tocilizumab, anakinra and rituximab in pregnancy is insufficient.
ISSN exercise & sports nutrition review update: research & recommendations (2019)

Abstract Background Sports nutrition is a constantly evolving field with hundreds of research papers published annually. In the year 2017 alone, 2082 articles were published under the key words ‘sport nutrition’. Consequently, staying current with the relevant literature is often difficult. Methods This paper is an ongoing update of the sports nutrition review article originally published as the lead paper to launch the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in 2004 and updated in 2010. It presents a well-referenced overview of the current state of the science related to optimization of training and performance enhancement through exercise training and nutrition. Notably, due to the accelerated pace and size at which the literature base in this research area grows, the topics discussed will focus on muscle hypertrophy and performance enhancement. As such, this paper provides an overview of: 1.) How ergogenic aids and dietary supplements are defined in terms of governmental regulation and oversight; 2.) How dietary supplements are legally regulated in the United States; 3.) How to evaluate the scientific merit of nutritional supplements; 4.) General nutritional strategies to optimize performance and enhance recovery; and, 5.) An overview of our current understanding of nutritional approaches to augment skeletal muscle hypertrophy and the potential ergogenic value of various dietary and supplemental approaches. Conclusions This updated review is to provide ISSN members and individuals interested in sports nutrition with information that can be implemented in educational, research or practical settings and serve as a foundational basis for determining the efficacy and safety of many common sport nutrition products and their ingredients.
Parallel algorithm for real-time contouring from grid DEM on modern GPUs (2010)

A real-time algorithm for constructing contour maps from grid DEM data is pre-sented.It runs completely within the programmable 3D visualization pipeline.The interpolation is paralleled by rasterizer units in the graphics card,and contour line extraction is paralleled by pixel shader.During each frame of the rendering,we first make an elevation gradient map out of original terrain vertex data,then figure out the final contour lines with image-space processing,and directly blend the results on the original scene to obtain a final scene with contour map using alpha-blending.We implement this method in our global 3D-digitalearth system with Direct3D?9.0c API and tested on some consumer level PC platforms.For arbitrary scene with certain LOD level,the process takes less than 10 ms,giving topologically correct,anti-aliased contour lines.
Generalized ellipsometry based on azimuth measurements alone (1978)

We investigate the azimuth response function, θo = f(θi), of a linear nondepolarizing optical system S, where θi and θo are the azimuths (orientations) of the generally elliptic vibrations of totally polarized light at the input and output of S. We find that the azimuth response function depends on five of the six parameters that specify the normalized circular Jones matrix of the optical system. Thus the entire polarization response of an optical system can be nearly completely reconstructed from its azimuth response alone. Five input-output azimuth measurements (θik, θok), k = 1, 2, …, 5 are sufficient to fix the ARF. The procedure for such determination is considerably facilitated if the average of θo, when θi sweeps a full rang of π, is measured. The general design and automation of an instrument for performing azimuth measurements are discussed and the use of such measurements to determine the optical parameters of elliptic retarders is given as an application.
Properties of Bent Functions in the Truth Domain (2019)

In this paper we study bent functions in the truth vector domain. While in general bent functions are defined on the Walsh basis [-1,1] we look on their properties and classification in the standard Boolean basis [0,1]. We show that applying the Welsh transform to Boolean functions of n variables in the truth domain, results in a classification that allows to rank bent functions. We investigate the classification of bent vs non bent functions using standard machine learning and compare the performance difference. Finally we extend our search for efficient classification criteria to functions with smaller amount of variables and show the amount of classification possible.
