Intramuscular pressure and electromyography in four shoulder muscles (1991)

Estimations of shoulder muscle load are important in biomechanic and ergonomic research. We have studied shoulder muscle load in the trapezius (six subjects), deltoid (six subjects), infraspinatus (eight subjects), and supraspinatus (seven subjects) muscles with simultaneous intramuscular pressure (IMP) and intramuscular bipolar electromyography (EMG) recordings. For imposition of shoulder muscle load, the arm was positioned in abduction or flexion with different hand loads (0, 1, or 2 kg), or isometric force registrations were performed. The microcapillary infusion technique was used for IMP recordings. The IMP in the supra- and infraspinatus muscles were high compared with the trapezius and deltoid muscles in abducted arm positions. In all test situations, IMP and EMG gave a similar description of local muscle load. IMP at maximal voluntary contraction was highest in the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles. Both IMP and EMG in all four muscles showed an almost linear correlation to recorded isometric external force. The difference in IMP between shoulder muscles in the same arm position may be due to muscle anatomy, muscle function, and compliance of surrounding tissues. Because a high IMP may impede muscle blood flow, our findings may possibly explain the physiological stress on the rotator cuff muscles as compared with the deltoid and trapezius muscles in work with elevated arms.
Personal Choices of Health Plans by Managed Care Experts (2002)

The aversion of physician experts, and nonphysician experts with moderate income, to HMO plans may be caused by their stronger distaste for the constraints on choice and access that typically accompany HMO coverage. Alternatively, it may be explained by their superior ability to absorb, understand, and use information about available insurance options. Insights into quality in managed care may also play a role.
VLSI implementation of discrete wavelet transform (2002)

This paper presents a VLSI implementation of discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The architecture is systolic in nature and performs both high-pass and low-pass coefficient calculations with only one set of multipliers, in contrast to the approaches presented in the literature. The architecture is simple, modular, and cascadable, and has been implemented in VLSI. Experimental results show that real-time coefficient calculation on a 512/spl times/512 monochrome video input can be achieved with 1.2 /spl mu/m technology.

Repellency of Five Mineral Oils AgainstDiaphorina citri(Hemiptera: Liviidae) (2013)

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), is the vector of huanglongbing, a destructive citrus disease worldwide. Horticultural mineral oils (HMOs) are commonly used for management of D. citri. In the past, repellency of HMOs against D. citri was reported. The primary objective of this study was to determine the repellency characteristics of 5 HMOs against D. citri. The settling and oviposition responses of D. citri to aqueous emulsions of the HMOs were assessed by bioassay. The relationships between repellency and carbon number distribution, as well as the emulsifying efficiency of each HMO were analyzed. The results showed that the various HMOs had significantly different behavioral repellent effects against D. citri. Correlation analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient indicated that the repellent effects of the HMOs against D. citri were significantly correlated with the mass percentages of C22, C23 and C24, but not with their emulsifying efficiencies. These results can help to select and develop HMOs with high repellencies for D. citri control. The mechanism of HMO repellency against D. citri is unclear and needs to be investigated.
Robust Graph-Filter Identification with Graph Denoising Regularization (2021)

When approaching graph signal processing tasks, graphs are usually assumed to be perfectly known. However, in many practical applications, the observed (inferred) network is prone to perturbations which, if ignored, will hinder performance. Tailored to those setups, this paper presents a robust formulation for the problem of graph-filter identification from input-output observations. Different from existing works, our approach consists in addressing the robust identification by formulating a joint graph denoising and graph-filter identification problem. Such a problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization, suitable relaxations are proposed, and graph-stationarity assumptions are incorporated to enhance performance. Finally, numerical experiments with synthetic and real-world graphs are used to assess the proposed schemes and compare them with existing (robust) alternatives.

A Multi-Mode Four-Switch Buck-Boost Derived DC-DC Converter with an Intermediate Battery Interface for Solar Thermoelectric Generation (2021)

This paper introduces a multi-mode four-switch buck-boost derived dc-dc converter designed for processing power produced from waste heat using thermoelectric generators (TEGs). TEGs comprise semiconductor thermocouples which generate electricity when exposed to a temperature gradient. Depending on this temperature gradient, TEGs can generate a wide range of voltages. The proposed converter needs to convert this wide range of voltage and deliver power to both 3.7 V Lithiumion battery and 5 V loads. Thus, a multi-mode power converter with four operational modes, buck, boost, buck with boost in passthrough, and buck and boost, is proposed. The implementation of the gate drive circuitry for a back-to-back switch configuration used for controlling the state of charge of the battery and providing short-circuit protection is discussed. The design and optimization of the magnetics considering all modes of operation is also presented. A 50-W prototype converter designed for input voltage range of 5-15 V from the TEGs is designed, built, and tested. The prototype multi-mode converter achieves a peak efficiency of 98.15%.
Dynamic Based Multi-Agent Architecture for Multimedia Multimodal Dialogs (2002)

There is a real need for clear and sound design specifications of dynamic architecture for the multimedia mulimodal dialogs. These specifications must take into account the dynamic aspect in order to satisfy some quality attributes such as adaptability, maintainability and understandability. The multimodal featuring fusion for natural human-computer interaction involves complex intelligent architectures to face unexpected errors and mistakes made by users. These architectures should react to events that occur simultaneously with eventualredundancy from different input media. In this paper, dynamic based intelligent agents architecture for multimedia multimodal dialog protocols are proposed. Global agents are decomposed into relevant sub-agents: components. Each sub-agent is modeled separately. Timed Colored Petri nets are used to specify the structure and the behavior of each agent in our architecture and to prove that this architecture satisfies the desired structural and behavioral properties. This paper describes a work in progress and presents a sound idea of designing dynamic architecture using agents for multimedia application.
Improvement of a Large Bore Cryogen-Free Superconducting Magnet for a Hybrid Magnet (2016)

A 360-mm room-temperature bore cryogen-free superconducting magnet (CSM), consisting of Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Sn coils and NbTi coils, for a hybrid magnet (HM) has generated the maximum magnetic field of 9.5 T. However, the magnetic field of the CSM has been limited to 8.5 T in the hybrid magnet mode because of a cooling problem. As a result, the hybrid magnet composed of a 19-T water-cooled resistive magnet (WM) had the utmost field generation of 27.5 T. Therefore, we improved the CSM to generate higher magnetic fields. For the improvement of the cooling problem, Nb <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> Sn coils were replaced, and thermal conduction was improved between coils and a 4K-GM cryocooler. Furthermore, support structures with a tensile strength over 80 kN and a spring support were adopted against the magnetic force to support the self-weight of coils and to absorb stress caused by thermal contraction difference between each coil. After the improvement, the CSM generated 9.5 T within 1 h and the maximum magnetic field of 9.7 T in a 360-mm room-temperature bore. The HM succeeded in generating 28 T in a 32-mm room-temperature bore with the CSM operated at 9.0 T.

Diastereoselective Alkylations of Oxazolidinone Glycolates:  A Useful Extension of the Evans Asymmetric Alkylation (2000)

[reaction: see text] The diastereoselective alkylation of glycolate oxazolidinones has been demonstrated as a method for the enantioselective preparation of alpha-alkoxy carboxylic acid derivatives and selectively protected 1,2-diols. Various protecting groups on the glycolate hydroxyl and multiple substitution patterns on allylic iodides are tolerated in the alkylation. Yields for the alkylations are typically 70-85% with diastereoselectivities of >98:2.
Automatic visual inspection system for stamped sheet metals (AVIS<sup>3</sup>M) (2012)

This paper presents a development of an automatic system for visual inspection of stamped sheet metals. Visual inspection operations in manufacturing processes can be challenging for humans. Human operators have several disadvantages compared to intelligent machines including; subjectivity, productivity, consistency, repeatability, etc. In this study we present an investigation of an automatic visual inspection system to improve some of these deficiencies. Our approach proposes an integrated software system based on machine vision theory that includes: image preprocessing, image segmentation, connected component analysis, region analysis, feature extraction, defect detection, quantification and classification and decision making. Our proposed demonstrated superior efficiency, reliability and stability compared to human subjects.
Competitive Interactions in the Crystal Structures of Benzils Effected by Different Halogen Substitution (2011)

To understand the consequences of halogen substitutions on the crystalline packing behavior of benzils, benzil itself and its derivatives with fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine substituents in the p-position of the phenyl rings were studied and compared with respect to their crystal structures, which are new for the chloro, bromo, and iodo derivatives. While the molecular structures in the crystal are relatively unaffected by the substitution, this is not the case for their packing. In particular, in the chloro, and seemingly in some weaker tendency also in the bromo and iodo derivatives, a leading influence of the halogen atoms to cause specific halogen···halogen contact modes is shown, whereas the influence of the fluorine atom is minor.
On Stone Lattices (1969)

M. H. Stone raised the problem ([1] Problem 70) of characterising the class of distributive pseudo-complemented lattices ℒ = 〈L; ∨, ∧, 0, 1〉 in which a * ∨ a ** = 1 holds identically. Several solutions to this problem have now been offered — the first being by G. Grätzer and E. T. Schmidt [6], who gave this class of lattices the name Stone lattices. Later solutions were given by J. Varlet [11], O. Frink [4] and G. Grätzer [5]; see also G. Bruns [2].
Transverse Myelitis Associated With Heroin Addiction (1968)

Acute transverse myelitis involving thoracic segments was observed as a new complication of heroin addiction in four Negro men. Three of the four patients had not taken heroin for periods of one to six months either while in prison or the hospital. The acute myelitis developed shortly after heroin was taken again intravenously. At onset, three patients suddenly became paraplegic, and moderate paraparesis developed in one. All four demonstrated thoracic sensory levels. Myelograms were normal for the three patients on whom they were performed. One patient died five weeks after taking heroin again. Extensive necrosis of the spinal cord in the lower thoracic region was found at necropsy. Another patient died, but no autopsy was performed. Mild paraparesis with sensory loss remains in one man, and severe paraparesis with sensory loss persists in the other survivor.
Learnability, Stability and Uniform Convergence (2010)

The diagnosis of cellulitis is based primarily on history and physical examination. Treatment of uncomplicated cellulitis should be directed against Streptococcus and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus. Failure to improve with appropriate first-line antibiotics should prompt consideration for resistant organisms, secondary conditions that mimic cellulitis, or underlying complicating conditions such as immunosuppression, chronic liver disease, or chronic kidney disease.
Adaptive programming in JAsCo (2005)

In this paper we propose an extension to JAsCo for supporting Adaptive Programming in a Component-Based Software Development context. JAsCo is an aspect-oriented programming language targeted at Component-Based Software Development and allows encapsulating crosscutting concerns using highly reusable aspect beans. Adaptive Programming on the other hand, allows capturing crosscutting concerns by structure-shy adaptive visitors. We propose to implement an adaptive visitor as a regular JAsCo aspect bean. Hence, the reusability of an adaptive visitor is improved because the same visitor can be reused within different component contexts. We introduce JAsCo traversal connectors to deploy adaptive visitors, implemented as JAsCo aspect beans, upon a concrete component traversal. In addition, these traversal connectors allow to explicitly specify how the behavior of several adaptive visitors, instantiated onto the same component traversal, needs to be combined by making use of the JAsCo precedence and combination strategies. A prototype implementation of the JAsCo Adaptive Programming extension, which employs the DJ library, is available. As a proof of concept, we present an extended case study in the context of the Web Service Management Layer (WSML) project. In this case study, a set of visitors implemented in JAsCo is reused to accomplish multiple tasks.
Reality bites-progressive querying and result visualization in logical and VR spaces (2002)

A software tool called VQRH (Visual Querying and Result Hypercube) is presented. It enables the database users to visualize both database queries and retrieval results in many different representations. Due to the lack of knowledge about the database, a user may not be able to formulate a query whose result fully satisfies his or her needs in a single attempt. Using the VQRH progressive querying tool, the user interacts with the database by means of a sequence of partial queries, each displayed together with the corresponding result as one slice of the VQR Hypercube. This tool allows the user to change both query and result representations. It also presents the query history in a 3D perspective, so that a particular partial query on a slice may be brought to the front of the Hypercube for further refinement. Preliminary experimental results on using the VQRH tool for scientific databases are described. The combination of logical paradigms and virtual reality paradigms in progressive querying is discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
On the Limitations of Using a LTI Modelling Approach for Control Tuning of VSC-HVDC Systems (2020)

This paper investigates the tuning methods of a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) system using double dq synchronous rotating reference frames. This work shows, and confirms by simulation results, that commonly used Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) tuning methods may lead to undesired behaviours when the underlying system is Linear Time-Periodic (LTP). In order to find the optimal tuning parameters, LTP system has been tuned using a machine learning method called Gradient Descent. As a result of this work, new LTP-based tuning methods may be used in the field of VSC-HVDC control.
Rare-gas-metal pair potential: He-vacancy interaction (1982)

The rare-gas-metal interaction can be described by a pair potential which is solely determined by the properties of the rare-gas atom and the atomic charge density of the metal. The resulting helium-vacancy interaction energies agree well with available experimental data. The helium heats of solution and vacancy trapping energies are predicted for all the 3d elements K-Cu and the trends are discussed.
Fast Algorithms for lp Deconvolution (1985)

Abstracl-This paper discusses two algorithms for Ip, 1 Q p Q 2, deconvolution. One, iterative reweighted least squares(IRLS), isdiscussed with an eye toward improving its computational efficiency, while the other, residual steepest descent (RSD), is considered in an attempt to improve its convergence properties. In the first case, fast Fourier transforms are used to reduce the number of computations. In the second, a new rescaling procedure which enhances RSD convergence is introduced. The lack of stability of I1, filters, and its implications are discussed. Simple examples are used to illustrate pertinent concepts.
Isolated zero mode in a quantum computer from a duality twist (2025)

Investigating the interplay of dualities, generalized symmetries, and topological defects beyond theoretical models is an important challenge in condensed matter physics and quantum materials. A simple model exhibiting this physics is the transverse-field Ising model, which can host a topological defect that performs the Kramers-Wannier duality transformation. When acting on one point in space, this duality defect imposes the duality twisted boundary condition and binds a single zero mode. This zero mode is unusual as it lacks a localized partner in the same <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="double-struck">Z</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msub> </mml:math> sector and has an infinite lifetime, even in finite systems. Using Floquet driving of a closed Ising chain with a duality defect, we generate this zero mode in a digital quantum computer. We detect the mode by measuring its associated persistent autocorrelation function using an efficient sampling protocol and a compound strategy for error mitigation. We also show that the zero mode resides at the domain wall between two regions related by a Kramers-Wannier duality transformation. Finally, we highlight the robustness of the isolated zero mode to integrability- and symmetry-breaking perturbations. Our findings provide a method for exploring exotic topological defects, associated with noninvertible generalized symmetries, in digitized quantum devices.
Use of a New Knee Prosthesis as an Articulating Spacer in Two-Stage Revision of Infected Total Knee Arthroplasty (2016)

Comparison of Organic and Inorganic Carriers in Removal of Hydrogen Sulfide in Biofilters (1998)

Two organic and two inorganic carriers were compared with regard to the removal of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in a biofilter inoculated with night soil sludge. By gradually increasing the inlet load of H2S, the complete removal capacity and maximum removal capacity of H2S for each carrier were estimated. Both values were higher for organic carriers. By using a kinetic analysis, the maximum removal rate of H2S, Vm, and the saturation constant, Ks, were determined for all carriers. By using the kinetic parameters, the removal rates for H2S were compared among the four carriers, and organic carriers showed better performance for the removal of H2S in the inlet concentration range of 0–200 ppm.
