On Measures of Logic Performance: Logic Quantum, Factor, and Figure of Merit (1966)

A basic logic operation is considered of transferring a logic decision from one point to another point. A certain energy level, W <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> , corresponding to decision threshold and a time delay, T <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> , are encountered in the transfer process. The product, W <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> T <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> , is a logic quantum, H <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> . if the logic transfer takes place through an intermediate device, a logic factor, F <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> , can be introduced to describe the reduction in logic quanta that the device can produce under optimum conditions. Optimization is carried out, as for instance with ideal transformers, to “match” the logic source to the device and the device to the logic detector. The condition F <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> = 1 marks a boundary between a useful and a useless device, and a logic figure of merit, T <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">FM</inf> , in units of time corresponds to the fastest source-detector combination such that F <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">L</inf> = 1. Logic performance is considered in some detail for a particular linear model of a device. Nonlinear devices and relay devices are considered in less detail, although some numerical calculations are given for a current-switch, two-transistor computer device. The logic figure of merit represents a unique measure of high-speed logic performance and is therefore valuable in comparing devices including associated circuitry on a common basis.
LC-MS/MS-PRM Quantification of IgG glycoforms using stable isotope labeled IgG1 Fc glycopeptide standard (2022)

ABSTRACT Targeted quantification of proteins is a standard methodology with broad utility, but targeted quantification of glycoproteins has not reached its full potential. The lack of optimized workflows and isotopically labeled standards limits the acceptance of glycoproteomics quantification. In this paper, we introduce an efficient and streamlined chemoenzymatic synthesis of a library of isotopically labeled glycopeptides of IgG1 which we use for quantification in an energy optimized LC-MS/MS-PRM workflow. Incorporation of the stable isotope labeled N-acetylglucosamine enables an efficient monitoring of all major fragment ions of the glycopeptides generated under the soft collision induced dissociation (CID) conditions which reduces the CVs of the quantification to 0.7-2.8%. Our results document, for the first time, that the workflow using a combination of stable isotope labeled standards with intra-scan normalization enables quantification of the glycopeptides by an electron transfer dissociation (ETD) workflow as well as the CID workflow with the highest sensitivity compared to traditional workflows., This was exemplified by a rapid quantification (13-minute) of IgG1 Fc glycoforms from COVID-19 patients. Graphic Abstract
Software defined radar (2011)

The present work is focused on Software Defined Radar - (SDR) paradigm, which gives a more versatile solution when compared to classical radar systems. Thanks to this new system model, most of the fundamental operations, such as signal generation, filtering, up and down conversion, are easily implemented via software. The objective of this paper is to show the main issues related to the design of an effective Software Defined Radar device. Specifically, we will discuss and face the synchronization issues existing between a received and a transmitted signal when an open source hardware, namely the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP), is considered.
Injectable and pH-Responsive Silk Nanofiber Hydrogels for Sustained Anticancer Drug Delivery (2016)

Silk is useful as a drug carrier due to its biocompatibility, tunable degradation, and outstanding capacity in maintaining the function of drugs. Injectable silk hydrogels could deliver doxorubicin (DOX) for localized chemotherapy for breast cancer. To improve hydrogel properties, thixotropic silk nanofiber hydrogels in an all-aqueous solution were prepared and used to locally deliver DOX. The silk hydrogels displayed thixotropic capacity, allowing for easy injectability followed by solidification in situ. The hydrogels were loaded with DOX and released the drug over eight weeks with pH- and concentration-dependent release kinetics. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that DOX-loaded silk hydrogels had good antitumor response, outperforming the equivalent dose of free DOX administered intravenously. Thixotropic silk hydrogels provide improved injectability to support sustained release, suggesting promising applications for localized chemotherapy.
Actionable Knowledge Model for GUI Regression Testing (2006)

GUI regression testing is challenging as GUIs are changed frequently during the whole SDLC. Currently, there are no effective techniques for doing GUI regression testing. In this paper, a novel actionable knowledge model (AKM) is proposed for representing GUI test cases. The proposed model is adaptive to the change of GUIs. A multi-agent based framework that infusing AKM for GUI application regression testing is developed to facilitate test case creation, execution and repair.
Barriers and Strategies of Cationic Liposomes for Cancer Gene Therapy (2020)

Cationic liposomes (CLs) have been regarded as the most promising gene delivery vectors for decades with the advantages of excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and high nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency. However, the clinical use of CLs in cancer gene therapy is limited because of many uncertain factors <i>in vivo</i>. Extracellular barriers such as opsonization, rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system and poor tumor penetration, and intracellular barriers, including endosomal/lysosomal entrapped network and restricted diffusion to the nucleus, make CLs not the ideal vector for transferring extrinsic genes in the body. However, the obstacles in achieving productive therapeutic effects of nucleic acids can be addressed by tailoring the properties of CLs, which are influenced by lipid compositions and surface modification. This review focuses on the physiological barriers of CLs against cancer gene therapy and the effects of lipid compositions on governing transfection efficiency, and it briefly discusses the impacts of particle size, membrane charge density, and surface modification on the fate of CLs <i>in vivo</i>, which may provide guidance for their preclinical studies.
A data envelope analysis to assess factors affecting technical and economic efficiency of individual broiler breeder hens (2010)

This study evaluated the effect of feed allocation and energetic efficiency on technical and economic efficiency of broiler breeder hens using the data envelope analysis methodology and quantified the effect of variables affecting technical efficiency. A total of 288 Ross 708 pullets were placed in individual cages at 16 wk of age and assigned to 1 of 4 feed allocation groups. Three of them had feed allocated on a group basis with divergent BW targets: standard, high (standard x 1.1), and low (standard x 0.9). The fourth group had feed allocated on an individual bird basis following the standard BW target. Birds were classified in 3 energetic efficiency categories: low, average, and high, based on estimated maintenance requirements. Technical efficiency considered saleable chicks as output and cumulative ME intake and time as inputs. Economic efficiency of feed allocation treatments was analyzed under different cost scenarios. Birds with low feed allocation exhibited a lower technical efficiency (69.4%) than standard (72.1%), which reflected a reduced egg production rate. Feed allocation of the high treatment could have been reduced by 10% with the same chick production as the standard treatment. The low treatment exhibited reduced economic efficiency at greater capital costs, whereas high had reduced economic efficiency at greater feed costs. The average energetic efficiency hens had a lower technical efficiency in the low compared with the standard feed allocation. A 1% increment in estimated maintenance requirement changed technical efficiency by -0.23%, whereas a 1% increment in ME intake had a -0.47% effect. The negative relationship between technical efficiency and ME intake was counterbalanced by a positive correlation of ME intake and egg production. The negative relationship of technical efficiency and maintenance requirements was synergized by a negative correlation of hen maintenance and egg production. Economic efficiency methodologies are effective tools to assess the economic effect of selection and flock management programs because biological, allocative, and economic factors can be independently analyzed.
Epileptogenic Q555X SYN1 mutant triggers imbalances in release dynamics and short-term (2013)

Synapsin I (SynI) is a synaptic vesicle (SV) phosphoprotein playing multiple roles in synaptic transmission and plasticity by differentially affecting crucial steps of SV trafficking in excitatory and inhibitory synapses. SynI knockout (KO) mice are epileptic, and nonsense and missense mutations in the human SYN1 gene have a causal role in idiopathic epilepsy and autism. To get insights into the mechanisms of epileptogenesis linked to SYN1 mutations, we analyzed the effects of the recently identified Q555X mutation on neurotransmitter release dynamics and short-term plasticity (STP) in excitatory and inhibitory synapses. We used patch-clamp electrophysiology coupled to electron microscopy and multi-electrode arrays to dissect synaptic transmission of primary SynI KO hippocampal neurons in which the human wild-type and mutant SynI were expressed by lentiviral transduction. A parallel decrease in the SV readily releasable pool in inhibitory synapses and in the release probability in excitatory synapses caused a marked reduction in the evoked synchronous release. This effect was accompanied by an increase in asynchronous release that was much more intense in excitatory synapses and associated with an increased total charge transfer. Q555X-hSynI induced larger facilitation and post-tetanic potentiation in excitatory synapses and stronger depression after long trains in inhibitory synapses. These changes were associated with higher network excitability and firing/bursting activity. Our data indicate that imbalances in STP and release dynamics of inhibitory and excitatory synapses trigger network hyperexcitability potentially leading to epilepsy/autism manifestations.

One-Handed Pull Strength Capacity for the Male Population (2009)

Bilateral manual materials handling tasks, such as lifting, pushing, and pulling, have been well studied in their physiological, biomechanical, psychophysical, and epidemiological aspects. Although this form of exertion is common in many industries and tasks, the basic capacity of one-handed pulling tasks is not well known. A strength test protocol was administered to collect isometric one-handed pulling strength at four handle heights and three pulling directions. Twenty-six male participants in five age groups showed that pulling from the side of the body resulted in the greatest strength. As the handle height increased from 61 cm above the floor to above the shoulder, the pulling strength decreased. This dataset lends occupational safety and ergonomics professionals the knowledge of the strength capacity of a population similar to our study sample.
Analysis of the a^{3}Σ^{+} state of KRb (2005)

We report analyses and comparison of three high quality ab initio KRb $a\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}^{3}\ensuremath{\Sigma}^{+}$ state potentials [Rousseau et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 203, 235 (2000); Park et al., Chem. Phys. 257, 135 (2000); Kotochigova et al., Phys. Rev. A 68, 011501 (2003)]. Eigenvalues for all vibrational levels and precision binding energies for high-lying levels (and corresponding triplet scattering lengths) are presented. By adjusting the inner wall of a potential, we show that we can reproduce measured scattering lengths of two isotopomers and predict scattering lengths of all isotopomers.
A Descriptive Analysis of a Formative Decade of Research in Affective Haptic System Design (2023)

The global pandemic exposed serious drawbacks in relying on communication modalities in which social touch, however important, is absent. Considerable research has explored haptic technologies for sensing or displaying social touch and influencing affective state, for wellness, social communication, emotion regulation, and affect therapy. However, this Affective Haptic System design (AHSD) work varies widely in purpose and origin discipline, making it difficult to perceive overall progress and identify primary obstacles to practical deployment. We conducted a scoping review and conceptual analysis with a design lens, identifying 110 papers from the last decade in 11 ACM and IEEE venues that regularly attract AHSD work. Our analysis identified 38 dimensions within 8 facets: demographic, theoretical grounding, impact, system specification, usage specification, ethical consideration, technology, and evaluation. We visualize trends, disciplinary mixing, and topical focus over time, and highlight major advances while pinning down crucial gaps that can be addressed in the future.

Young Anthony van Dyck Revisited: A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Portrait Once Attributed to Peter Paul Rubens (2014)

Part of the collection of the Rubens House in Antwerp is a portrait of young Anthony van Dyck, alternatively attributed to Peter Paul Rubens and his pupil Anthony van Dyck. In order to reconstruct the genesis of the portrait in a manner that improves upon past investigations, a number of high-end technological methods, such as X-radiography, X-ray computer tomography, mammographic tomosynthesis and macroscopic X-ray fluorescence, have been employed to render the overpainted layers visible again. The results of the interdisciplinary examinations of the portrait of the youthful Van Dyck are impressive. The combined results allow the later additions to be peeled away until the original composition can be reached. Several pentimenti are easily discernible and refer to a rather immature hand that makes the authorship of Peter Paul Rubens very unlikely. What emerges is a portrait of an ambitious young man with a luxuriant head of hair and a slightly turned-up collar. The hat and cape were added later. The facial features are more recognisable and the execution of the bold curls points irrefutably in the direction of Anthony van Dyck as the author of his own portrait.
A case study in structured knowledge acquisition (1985)

Building an expert system usually comprises an entangled mixture of knowledge acquisition and Implementation efforts. An emerging methodology based on cognitive psychology and software development guides and supports knowledge acquisition while Implementation is deferred. This allows for a more deliberate choice of architecture. This paper presents a case stud/to test the methodology.

The Financial Performance of Pure Play Internet Banks (2001)

In theory, banks that conduct all their business over the Internet will have low overhead expenses. If these saving materialize, Internet banks could use them to fuel fast growth while still earning normal profits. This article analyzes a small sample of "pure lay" Internet banks launched during the late 1990s. Compared with young branching banks, these young Internet banks have low physical overhead and grow fast--but they earn low profits due to high labor expenses, low noninterest income, and low core deposits.
On Acrylic Fiber Spinning by the Rotary Ring (1985)

In the previous paper, the characteristics of the rotary ring was reported on the cotton spinning test.This paper describes the results of the investigation of the possibility of the high-speed and stable acrylic spinning with the rotary ring. The spinning test of the acrylic yarn is compared with that of the stationary ring. The high-speed spinning with the stationary ring is regarded to be difficult because of such troubles as melt yarn due to characteristics of the fiber. Results of the spinning test are as follows :1) The wear of travellers on the rotary ring is far less than that on the stationary ring.2) In the high-speed rotating at 15 500 rpm, yarn fluffs caused by the rotary ring are significantly less than that by the stationary ring.3) The strength and elongation of the single yarn produced by the rotary ring are superior to those by the stationary ring under certain spinning conditions ; under the spinning speed of 15500 rpm and at the start of the spinning. But no significant difference is found under other conditions.(4) In the high-speed rotating operation, the melt yarn by the rotary ring is less than that by the stationary ring.(5) Yarn ends-down and traveller fly-off with the rotary ring are signifcantly lower than those with the stationary ring.(6) The power consumption by the rotary ring does not differ from that by the stationary ring.From the general condiderations of the above results, it is concluded that the rotary ring is effective for the high-speed spinning of the acrtylic yarn.
Quantification of tumor uptake of iodized oils and emulsions of iodized oils: experimental study. (1996)

Photometric Imaging Etalon Spectrometer (1988)

A Fabry‐Perot imager that can give spectral image information for the airglow is briefly described. Such an instrument was flown on the shuttle on the STS 41‐G mission. Several spectral images of the limb view atmosphere were obtained, and rotational temperatures are derived for two of these images. The rotational temperature for the O 2 A band on the limb at the emission intensity maximum was measured as 200°K. Viewing the airglow layer at a downward viewing slant path, the temperature was found to be higher. The rotational temperature was also obtained from images of the airglow at the wavelength of the OH Meinel (8‐3) band. The properties of the available filter and Fabry‐Perot combination were not ideal for this measurement. From the ratio of the line intensity of the P 1 (3) and the superimposition of the P 2 (3) and the Q(2) line the rotational temperature was found to be 220°K. These temperature measurements demonstrate the validity of the technique. Several new experiments are planned where systematic measurements of the atmospheric airglow rotational temperatures will be carried out. Such measurements will provide new insight into the global temperature structure of the mesosphere.

The value of a uniformity trial in field experimentation with rubber (1934)

1. Sanders’ method of utilising previous crop records to correct experimental results by means of a linear regression is briefly described. 2. The method is applied to yield figures from rubber trees in Sumatra, and the precision of a dummy experiment is thereby increased nearly fourfold when the “preliminary” and “experimental” years are consecutive. When the “experimental” year is three years later than the “preliminary” year, the error variance of the adjusted yields is reduced to about a half. 3. It is concluded that not only has the method of correction been of value in the particular instance investigated, but that a uniformity trial utilised in this way should be of practical value in any major field experiments with rubber.
