Discriminant-component eigenfaces for privacy-preserving face recognition (2016)

Over the past decades, face recognition has been a problem of critical interest in the machine learning and signal processing communities. However, conventional approaches such as eigenfaces do not protect the privacy of user data, which is emerging as an important design consideration in today's society. In this work, we leverage a supervised-learning subspace projection method called Discriminant Component Analysis (DCA) for privacy-preserving face recognition. By projecting the data onto the lower-dimensional signal subspace prescribed by DCA, high performance of face recognition is achievable without compromising privacy of the data owners. We evaluate our approach on three image datasets: Yale, Olivetti and Glasses datasets - the last is derived from the former two. Our approach can serve as a key enabler for real-world deployment of privacy-preserving face recognition applications, and provides a promising direction to researchers and private sectors.
CT10: A new cancer-testis (CT) antigen homologous to CT7 and the MAGE family, identified by representational-difference analysis (2000)

Assays relying on humoral or T-cell-based recognition of tumor antigens to identify potential targets for immunotherapy have led to the discovery of a significant number of immunogenic gene products, including cancer-testis (CT) antigens predominantly expressed in cancer cells and male germ cells. The search for cancer-specific antigens has been extended via the technique of representational-difference analysis and SK-MEL-37, a melanoma cell line expressing a broad range of CT antigens. Using this approach, we have isolated CT antigen genes, genes over-expressed in cancer, e. g., PRAME and KOC, and genes encoding neuro-ectodermal markers. The identified CT antigen genes include the previously defined MAGE-A6, MAGE-A4a, MAGE-A10, CT7/MAGE-C1, as well as a novel gene designated CT10, which shows strong homology to CT7/MAGE-C1 both at cDNA and at genomic levels. Chromosome mapping localized CT10 to Xq27, in close proximity to CT7/MAGE-C1 and MAGE-A genes. CT10 mRNA is expressed in testis and in 20 to 30% of various human cancers. A serological survey identified 2 melanoma patients with anti-CT10 antibody, demonstrating the immunogenicity of CT10 in humans.

Interplay between Solvent and Counteranion Stabilization of Highly Unsaturated Rhodium(III) Complexes: Facile Unsaturation‐Induced Dearomatization (2003)

Abstraction of the chloride ligand from the PCN-based chloromethylrhodium complex 2 by AgX (X=BF(4)(-), CF(3)SO(3)(-)) or a direct C-C cleavage reaction of the PCN ligand 1 with [(coe)(2)Rh(solv)(n)](+)X(-) (coe=cyclooctene) lead to the formation of the coordinatively unsaturated rhodium(III) complexes 3. Compound 3 a (X=BF(4)(-)) exhibits a unique medium effect; the metal center is stabilized by reversible coordination of the bulky counteranion or solvent as a function of temperature. Reaction of [(PCN)Rh(CH(3))(Cl)] with AgBAr(f) in diethyl ether leads to an apparent rhodium(III) 14-electron complex 4, which is stabilized by reversible, weak coordination of a solvent molecule. This complex coordinates donors as weak as diethyl ether and dichloromethane. Upon substitution of the BF(4)(-) ion in [(PCN)Rh(CH(3))]BF(4) by the noncoordinating BAr(f)(-) ion in a noncoordinating medium, the resulting highly unsaturated intermediate undergoes a 1,2-metal-to-carbon methyl shift, followed by beta-hydrogen elimination, leading to the Rh-stabilized methylene arenium complex 5. This process represents a unique mild, dearomatization of the aromatic system induced by unsaturation.
Hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy using simultaneous integrated boost technique with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide for glioblastoma. (2014)

The regimen of hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy with temozolomide showed a relatively good outcome in patients with glioblastoma. Further studies are required to define the optimal fraction size for glioblastoma using this highly sophisticated radiation technique.
Channels at the catalytic site of glycogen phosphorylase b: binding and kinetic studies with the .beta.-glycosidase inhibitor D-gluconohydroximo-1,5-lactone N-phenylurethane (1988)

Regions of low packing density in the vicinity of the catalytic site of glycogen phosphorylase b are described with the aid of a computer program that generates a contour map in which the contour level is inversely proportional to the packing density in the protein. It is shown that, although there is no direct route from the catalytic site to the surface, there are two possible channels that could allow access for substrates following conformational changes in the enzyme. The first channel, channel 1, leads from the catalytic site to the surface close to the nucleoside inhibitor site and requires movements of residues 280-285 and Arg 569 in order to obtain access. Previous crystallographic experiments have shown that in the presence of substrates or R-state inhibitors these parts of the polypeptide chain undergo large conformational changes. The properties of the second channel (channel 2), which is the more extensive channel, have been investigated with the potent beta-glycosidase inhibitor D-gluconohydroximo-1,5-lactone N-phenylurethane (PUG). Crystallographic binding studies at 2.4-A resolution show that the compound binds neatly at the catalytic site of phosphorylase b. The glucopyranosylidene ring, in the half-chair conformation, occupies a similar but not identical position (shift about 0.6 A) to that occupied by other glucosyl compounds bound at the catalytic site.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In vitro cytotoxic and biochemical effects of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine. (1977)

The in vitro effect of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR) on cytotoxicity and macromolecular synthesis in A(T1)C1-3 hamster fibrosarcoma cells was investigated. The in vitro concentrations that produce 50% cell kill for 5-aza-CdR were about 1.0 and 0.01 microng/ml for a 2- and 24-hr exposure, respectively. 5-aza-CdR inhibited the growth of the fibrosarcoma cells by 40% at a concentration of 0.05 microng/ml. Deoxycytidine, but not cytidine, was a potent antagonist of the cytotoxicity produced by 5-aza-CdR. At cytotoxic concentrations 5-aza-CdR did not appear to inhibit DNA, RNA, or protein synthesis during a 1-hr incubation as measured by the incorporation of radioactive thymidine, uridine,, or leucine into acid-insoluble material. At a concentration of 10 microng/ml, 5-aza-CdR stimulated the incorporation of radioactive thymidine into DNA by more than 50%. These results indicate that 5-aza-CdR is a very potent cytotoxic agent to tumor cells in vitro at concentrations that do not inhibit macromolecular synthesis.
Immunoreactivation of Epstein-Barr virus due to cytomegalovirus primary infection (1998)

Serological diagnosis of herpes virus infections is hampered by concurrent expression of IgM for heterologous members of this virus family. To assess the frequency of such multiple diagnostic findings and to understand their etiology, we sought by using IgG, IgM, and IgG avidity test serodiagnoses for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) among immunocompetent or immune-suppressed patients with well-documented cytomegalovirus (CMV) primary infection. Controls had primary infection by EBV or had acute septic or severe respiratory infection. Among EBV-seropositive patients with CMV primary infection, a large proportion (13/56, 23%) showed antibody profiles of EBV reactivation: seroconversion of VCA IgM and/or ⩾ fourfold rise of VCA IgG, together with high or intermediate avidity of VCA IgG. Most of the CMV patients with EBV serodiagnosis showed also diagnostic HHV-6 antibody rises. In contrast to the frequently occurring CMV-induced EBV immunoreactivation, EBV primary infections did not appear to induce immunoreactivations of CMV (0/22). Only one (2%) CMV patient had a significant varicella zoster virus (VZV) antibody rise. The studies show that CMV is a particularly active inducer of some, but not all, members of the herpes virus family and suggest that the in vivo interplay between CMV and EBV occurs unidirectionally. The high frequency of heterologous herpes virus immunoreactivations poses demands on laboratory diagnosis. J. Med. Virol. 56:186–191, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Proposal and experimental results of a method for removing mixed voice using U-Net (2022)

The mixing of other people's voices in daily conversations and remote meetings causes a large obstacle to the voice that you originally want to hear, regardless of the volume. In this paper, the voice of another specific speaker added to the voice of the speaker is regarded as noise, and a method of removing the noise and the experimental result are shown. We created a learning model for removing the mixed noise using U-Net and the data obtained by converting the voice data before and after the noise was mixed into an image by STFT. Then, the effect was confirmed by comparing the image data, and voice data obtained by the reverse STFT with the ones before the removal.

Comparison of Animal Discs Used in Disc Research to Human Lumbar Disc (2008)

Disc axial mechanics are very similar across animal species when normalizing by the geometric parameters of disc height and area. This suggests that the disc tissue material properties are largely conserved across animal species. These results provide a reference to compare disc axial mechanics and glycosaminoglycan and water composition of experimental animal models to the human lumbar disc, to aid in both selection and interpretation of experimental disc research.
Objective assessment of pathological speech using distribution regression (2017)

Objective assessment of pathological speech is an important part of existing systems for automatic diagnosis and treatment of various speech disorders. In this paper, we propose a new regression method for this application. Rather than treating speech samples from each speaker as individual data instances, we treat each speaker's data as a probability distribution. We propose a simple non-parametric learning method to make predictions for out-of-sample speakers based on a probability distance measure to the speakers in the training set. This is in contrast to traditional learning methods that rely on Euclidean distances between individual instances. We evaluate the method on two pathological speech data sets with promising results.
Baroceptor Function in Chronic Renal Hypertension (1956)

The results of these experiments indicate that the carotid and aortic baroceptor mechanisms are reset to the hypertensive pressure levels of animals with chronic perinephritic hypertension. Thus, seemingly, the buffer reflexes tend to maintain, rather than prevent, the chronic phase of renal hypertension and are, presumably, an important component in the mechanism of chronic renal hypertension.
A contextual edit distance for semantic trajectories (2020)

The understanding of daily human activity is an active research topic. Thanks to GPS and smartphones, human movements can be monitored and analyzed. In addition, by exploiting Linked Open Data and user personal data, semantic labels and annotations can be added to movements. Thus, semantic trajectories can be considered as sequences of timestamped activities where each activity is described by a semantic label. In this context, a major challenge is the comparison of such semantic trajectories, looking to extract and learning similar human mobility behaviors. We propose CED (Contextual Edit Distance), a generic similarity measure for semantic sequences comparison which improve the Edit Distance to take into account the context similarity between elements in the sequence. CED is configurable to any sequence data and business needs.
On the stability of a differential Riccati equation for continuous-discrete observers (2015)

This article deals with the stability properties of a continuous-discrete Riccati differential equation. The main motivation comes from the theory of Kalman filters for continuous-time nonlinear systems with sampled measurements, where this type of equation often arises. Stability is to be understood in the following sense: under appropriate hypotheses, the solution matrix is always symmetric positive definite and bounded from above and below. No uniformity is expected from the sampling procedure, only an upper bound on the elapsed time between consecutive samples is needed. The exposition consists of two parts. First, the stability properties are proven and second, by means of three examples, it is shown how the article's main result applies.
Scanning ophthalmoscope retinal image registration using one-dimensional deformation fields (2011)

We present a new, robust and automated method for registering sequences of images acquired from scanning ophthalmoscopes. The method uses a multi-scale B-spline representation of the deformation field to map images to each other and an hierarchical optimization method. We applied the method to video sequences acquired from different parts of the retina. In all cases, the registration was successful, even in the presence of large distortions from microsaccades, and the resulting deformation fields describe the fixational motion of the eye. The registration reveals examples of dynamic photoreceptor behaviour in the sequences.
Active Control of Dynamic Platforms (2005)

The control of a dynamic platform system for offshore operations in adverse weather conditions is discussed in this paper. The aim is to control the deck of the dynamic platform system to remain stationary irrespective of displacement-type base disturbances and force/ torque-type deck disturbances. Two control schemes based on the principle of invariance are described. Open-loop control, with drift cancellation, is implemented for the heave (vertical) motion, which is not always possible to obtain in practical systems. An experimental rig has been used to investigate and validate simulation results. Good simulation and experimental results have been obtained.
Phage-based molecular probes that discriminate force-induced structural states of fibronectin in vivo (2012)

Applied forces and the biophysical nature of the cellular microenvironment play a central role in determining cellular behavior. Specifically, forces due to cell contraction are transmitted into structural ECM proteins and these forces are presumed to activate integrin "switches." The mechanism of such switches is thought to be the partial unfolding of integrin-binding domains within fibronectin (Fn). However, integrin switches remain largely hypothetical due to a dearth of evidence for their existence, and relevance, in vivo. By using phage display in combination with the controlled deposition and extension of Fn fibers, we report the discovery of peptide-based molecular probes capable of selectively discriminating Fn fibers under different strain states. Importantly, we show that the probes are functional in both in vitro and ex vivo tissue contexts. The development of such tools represents a critical step in establishing the relevance of theoretical mechanotransduction events within the cellular microenvironment.
Perturbative methods in theory of phase gratings (1994)

Perturbative methods are generally invoked for problems in which there is a small parameter. In the theory of phase gratings, the small parameter is the modulation amplitude of the refractive index, and the classical perturbative method is then the Born approximation. But it is well-known that the Born approximation fails at the Bragg resonance, however small the modulation amplitude is. In this paper a perturbative method is presented, which is working at Bragg resonance as well. A sequence of numbers (called the eigenvalues of the problem) are introduced; they depend on the geometrical configuration (incidence angle, grating parameters). It is shown that the Bragg resonance occurs if (and only if) two eigenvalues become equal. These eigenvalues – and the corresponding solutions of the equations – can be expanded in powers of the modulation amplitude. The expansions are different according to whether the corresponding eigenvalue is simple or double. Explicit formulae or algorithms are given. Computing programs have been written from them. These programs are efficient.
Structural Dynamics by NMR in the Solid State: The Unified MOMD Perspective Applied to Organic Frameworks with Interlocked Molecules (2020)

The microscopic-order-macroscopic-disorder (MOMD) approach for NMR lineshape analysis has been applied to the University of Windsor Dynamic Materials (UWDM) of types 1, 2, α-3, β-3, and 5, which are metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) comprising mobile mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). The mobile MIM components are selectively deuterated crown ether macrocycles - 24C6, 22C6, and B24C6. Their motion is described in MOMD by an effective/collective dynamic mode characterized by a diffusion tensor, <b><i>R</i></b>, a restricting/ordering potential, <i>u</i>, expanded in the Wigner rotation matrix elements, <i>D</i><sub>0, <i>K</i></sub><sup><i>L</i></sup>, and features of local geometry. Experimental <sup>2</sup>H lineshapes are available over 220 K (on average) and in some cases 320 K. They are reproduced with axial <b><i>R</i></b>, <i>u</i> given by the terms <i>D</i><sub>0,0</sub><sup>2</sup> and <i>D</i><sub>0,|2|</sub><sup>2</sup>, and established local geometry. For UWDM of types 1, β-3, and 5, where the macrocycle resides in a relatively loose space, <i>u</i> is in the 1-3 <i>kT</i>, <i>R</i><sub>∥</sub> in the (1.0-2.5) × 10<sup>6</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, and <i>R</i><sub>⊥</sub> in the (0.4-2.5) × 10<sup>4</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> range; the deuterium atom is bonded to a carbon atom with tetrahedral coordination character. For UWDM of types 2 and α-3, where the macrocycle resides in a much tighter space, a substantial change in the symmetry of <i>u</i> and the coordination character of the <sup>2</sup>H-bonded carbon are detected at higher temperatures. The activation energies for <i>R</i><sub>∥</sub> and <i>R</i><sub>⊥</sub> are characteristic of each system. The MOMD model is general; effective/collective dynamic modes are treated. The characteristics of motion, ordering, and geometry are physically well-defined; they differ from case to case in extent and symmetry but not in essence. Physical clarity and consistency provide new insights. A previous interpretation of the same experimental data used models consisting of collections of independent simple motions. These models are specific to each case and temperature. Within their scope, generating consistent physical pictures and comparing cases are difficult; possible collective modes are neglected.
All-printed stretchable corneal sensor on soft contact lenses for noninvasive and painless ocular electrodiagnosis (2021)

Abstract Electroretinogram examinations serve as routine clinical procedures in ophthalmology for the diagnosis and management of many ocular diseases. However, the rigid form factor of current corneal sensors produces a mismatch with the soft, curvilinear, and exceptionally sensitive human cornea, which typically requires the use of topical anesthesia and a speculum for pain management and safety. Here we report a design of an all-printed stretchable corneal sensor built on commercially-available disposable soft contact lenses that can intimately and non-invasively interface with the corneal surface of human eyes. The corneal sensor is integrated with soft contact lenses via an electrochemical anchoring mechanism in a seamless manner that ensures its mechanical and chemical reliability. Thus, the resulting device enables the high-fidelity recording of full-field electroretinogram signals in human eyes without the need of topical anesthesia or a speculum. The device, superior to clinical standards in terms of signal quality and comfortability, is expected to address unmet clinical needs in the field of ocular electrodiagnosis.
Investigation of the LCST-Thermoresponsive Behavior of Novel Oligo(Ethylene Glycol)-Modified Pentafluorostyrene Homopolymers (2021)

Amphiphilic tetrafluorostyrene monomers (EFS8) carrying in the para position an oligoethylene glycol chain containing 8 oxyethylenic units on average were synthesized and used for preparation via activator regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET-ATRP) of the corresponding amphiphilic homopolymers (pEFS8-x) with different degrees of polymerization (x = 26 and 46). Combining light transmittance and nano-differential scanning calorimetry (n-DSC) measurements revealed that pEFS8-x homopolymers displayed a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) thermoresponsive behavior in water solutions. Moreover, n-DSC measurements revealed the presence in heating scans of a broad endothermic peak ascribable to the dehydration process of the polymer single chains (unimers) and their collapse into aggregates. Consistently, dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements showed below the LCST the presence of small nanostructures with a hydrodynamic diameter size Dh of 6–7 nm, which collapsed into concentration-dependent larger multichain aggregates (Dh = 300–3000 nm) above LCST. Interestingly, n-DSC data showed that the unimer-aggregate transition was reversible up to a specific temperature (Trev) of each homopolymer, which in any case was higher than Tmax. When heating above Trev the transition was no longer reversible, causing the shift of Tonset and Tmax at lower values, thus suggesting an increase in hydrophobicity of the polymer systems associated with a temperature-dependent dehydration process.
