WOLF DISTRIBUTION AND ROAD DENSITY IN MINNESOTA (1988)

Distribution of the wolf (Canis lupus) in parts of Wisconsin (Thiel 1985) and Michigan and Ontario (Jensen et al. 1986) has been related to the density of roads passable by 2-wheel-drive vehicles. Wolves in those regions generally do not occur where road densities exceed 0.58 km/km2, whereas similar areas nearby with fewer roads do contain wolves. In a small segment of the wolf range in Minnesota, wolves did not have territories where roads exceeded a density of 0.73 km/km2 (T. K. Fuller, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, unpublished data). In another small area of Minnesota with 0.73 km of roads/ km2, >50% of known wolf mortality was caused by humans despite prohibitions of the United States Endangered Species Act, but wolves survived there probably because the area was surrounded by an extensive wilderness reservoir (L. D. Mech, unpublished data).

Real-time in situ three-dimensional integral videography and surgical navigation using augmented reality: a pilot study (2013)

To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a three-dimensional augmented reality system incorporating integral videography for imaging oral and maxillofacial regions, based on preoperative computed tomography data. Three-dimensional surface models of the jawbones, based on the computed tomography data, were used to create the integral videography images of a subject's maxillofacial area. The three-dimensional augmented reality system (integral videography display, computed tomography, a position tracker and a computer) was used to generate a three-dimensional overlay that was projected on the surgical site via a half-silvered mirror. Thereafter, a feasibility study was performed on a volunteer. The accuracy of this system was verified on a solid model while simulating bone resection. Positional registration was attained by identifying and tracking the patient/surgical instrument's position. Thus, integral videography images of jawbones, teeth and the surgical tool were superimposed in the correct position. Stereoscopic images viewed from various angles were accurately displayed. Change in the viewing angle did not negatively affect the surgeon's ability to simultaneously observe the three-dimensional images and the patient, without special glasses. The difference in three-dimensional position of each measuring point on the solid model and augmented reality navigation was almost negligible (<1 mm); this indicates that the system was highly accurate. This augmented reality system was highly accurate and effective for surgical navigation and for overlaying a three-dimensional computed tomography image on a patient's surgical area, enabling the surgeon to understand the positional relationship between the preoperative image and the actual surgical site, with the naked eye.

Characterisation of a Multistatic Radar System (2006)

In this paper we report on the initial characterisation and calibration of a multistatic radar system, which has been designed using 'commercial off the shelf components'. This initial test strategy will provide a useful gauge of how effectively the system can detect certain simple targets and thus pave the way for further work looking at developing multistatic radar systems
YUCCA8andYUCCA9overexpression reveals a link between auxin signaling and lignification through the induction of ethylene biosynthesis (2013)

Auxin is associated with the regulation of virtually every aspect of plant growth and development. Many previous genetic and biochemical studies revealed that, among the proposed routes for the production of auxin, the so-called indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) pathway is the main source for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in plants. The IPA pathway involves the action of 2 classes of enzymes, tryptophan-pyruvate aminotransferases (TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE OF ARABIDOPSIS 1(TAA1)/TRYPTOPHAN AMINOTRANSFERASE RELATED (TAR)) and flavin monooxygenases (YUCCA). Both enzyme classes appear to be encoded by small gene families in Arabidopsis consisting of 5 and 11 members, respectively. We recently showed that it is possible to induce transcript accumulation of 2 YUCCA genes, YUC8 and YUC9, by methyl jasmonate treatment. Both gene products were demonstrated to contribute to auxin biosynthesis in planta. (1) Here we report that the overexpression of YUC8 as well as YUC9 led to strong lignification of plant aerial tissues. Furthermore, new evidence indicates that this abnormally strong secondary growth is linked to increased levels of ethylene production.
Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (2017)

We are delighted to present the proceedings of the Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP) held in Los Angeles, USA, August 3-4, 2012. ACM SAP, formerly known as APGV, aims to further the development of inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics.

Our ninth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. By co-locating ACM SAP 2012 with the thirty-ninth annual SIGGRAPH conference (SIGGRAPH 2012) in Los Angeles, we aim to further promote communication between the core perception and the core computer graphics communities, and also bring back the symposium in its new form to the United States.

This year we received a total of 40 paper submissions. Each submission received between three and four reviews by the 45 members of the International Program Committee. From those reviews and some additional discussions, 21 high quality papers were finally selected for oral presentation at the symposium. Betsy Williams, this year's Posters Chair, additionally selected a number of poster submissions, highlighting late-breaking research in the field.
Logarithmic pulse generator for long-term creep and relaxation testing (2005)

An existing logarithmic time base pulse generator design has been modified to collect data for creep and relaxation tests over at least 14decades of logarithmic time increments. Creep and relaxation studies of materials, which do not obey time temperature superposition, are done over many factors of ten (decades) of time. To acquire and store data efficiently one employs logarithmic sampling intervals. This device can trigger a data acquisition system to gather the data logarithmically. It generates trigger pulses accurately over 14decades of time.
Cervicovaginal microbiota predicts Neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical presentation (2021)

Abstract Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection of the female lower genital tract can present with a spectrum of phenotypes ranging from asymptomatic carriage to symptomatic cervical inflammation, or cervicitis. The factors that contribute to the development of asymptomatic or symptomatic infections are largely uncharacterized. We conducted a pilot study to assess differences in the cervicovaginal microbial community of patients presenting with symptomatic vs . asymptomatic N. gonorrhoeae infections to a sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic. DNA was isolated from cervicovaginal swab specimens from women who tested positive for N. gonorrhoeae infection using a clinical diagnostic nucleic acid amplification test. We performed deep sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons, followed by microbiome analyses with QIIME, and species-specific real-time PCR to assess the composition of microbial communities cohabitating the lower genital tract with the infecting N. gonorrhoeae . Specimens collected from asymptomatic individuals with N. gonorrhoeae infection and no co-infection with Chlamydia trachomatis and/or Trichomonas vaginalis carried Lactobacillus- dominant microbial communities more frequently than symptomatic patients without co-infection. When compared to asymptomatic individuals, symptomatic women had microbial communities characterized by more diverse and heterogenous bacterial taxa, typically associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) ( Prevotella, Sneathia, Mycoplasma hominis and Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterium-1 (BVAB1)/” Candidatus Lachnocurva vaginae) . Both symptomatic and asymptomatic N. gonorrhoeae patients with additional STI co-infection displayed a BV-like microbial community. We used a murine model of N. gonorrhoeae infection in mice pre-colonized with Lactobacillus crispatus to test whether pre-existing L. crispatus was protective from N. gonorrhoeae colonization or whether N. gonorrhoeae infection could drive the loss of L. crispatus during infection. Vaginal infection with either N. gonorrhoeae strain 1291 or an isogenic mutant known to exhibit lower inflammatory had no impact on Lactobacillus burden recovered from the mice. These data taken together suggest that Lactobacillus- dominant vaginal microbial community may protect individuals from developing symptoms during lower genital tract infection with N. gonorrhoeae .
Palatal Muscle EMG Response to Negative Pressure in Awake Sleep Apneic and Control Subjects (1997)

The sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) affects 1-4% of the middle-aged population and is caused by repeated occlusion of the upper airway mainly at the retropalatal level. It is unclear why SAHS patients obstruct their upper airways during sleep while others do not. We hypothesized that upper airway dilator muscle function may be impaired in SAHS patients and that chronic CPAP therapy may enhance upper airway function. We, therefore, examined the effects of upper airway negative pressure on reflex palatal muscle activity in 16 normal nonsnoring awake male subjects and 16 awake SAHS patients using electromyography. The application of negative upper airway pressure (0 to -12.5 cm H2O) caused increases in levator palatini (LP, p < 0.001) and palatoglossus (PG, p < 0.001) activity, 100 msec after pressure stimulus in normal subjects. Application of upper airway negative pressure in SAHS patients caused an increase in LP activity (p < 0.05) but not in PG activity. Reflex electromyographic response to negative pressure was reduced in SAHS patients compared to normal subjects for both muscles (p < 0.001). When the seven thinnest SAHS patients were compared with seven normal subjects matched for BMI and age, the SAHS patients still demonstrated impaired responses to negative pressure for both muscles (p < 0.001). A further eight SAHS patients were studied either while concurrently taking nightly CPAP therapy and also off CPAP (at least 3 nights). Chronic nightly CPAP therapy improved the reflex response of both LP (p < 0.001) and PG (p = 0.003) to nasal negative pressure application. Thus, untreated SAHS patients have impaired electromyographic responses to negative upper airway pressure suggesting impaired defence of the upper airway, which is improved by nightly CPAP therapy.
Modelling of light weight porous metal materials (2000)

Abstract The low density related to the high strength of the structure and the special features of metal foams make it possible to develop special components. To design the properties of such components, for example, the finite element method offers a cheap possibility for simulations. This requires the development of a model for foamed materials. In contrast to a microscopic approach, the Theory of Porous Media (TPM) allows a macroscopic continuum mechanical description for metal foams on the the basis of a real or a virtual homogenisation over the microstructure. In particular, a gas‐filled solid material is taken into consideration including finite elastic and finite elasto‐plastic constitutive equations for the solid matrix combined with convenient constitutive relations for the viscous pore‐fluid and the respective interaction mechanisms between the constituents.
Hybrid multivariate marginal median filters (2002)

This paper introduced a new class of hybrid multivariate marginal median filters. The proposed approach combined the noise suppression capabilities of the componentwise median filters and the edge preservation properties of the vector median filters. The proposed filter class was based an the use of multiple marginal orderings of the input data set. This assured that the optimal projections were included in the computations. It was shown in the examples that the proposed filters outperform other median filters in random noise suppression and in the preservation of the shapes.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Genetic algorithm approach for dynamic configuration of Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network deployment in LTE (2011)

Multimedia Broadcast Multicast service (MBMS) is used for the delivery of multimedia contents such as video and live mobile TV in a point-to-multipoint (PtM) mode of transmission. In Long Term Evolution (LTE), another technique is offered to increase the capacity and speed of transmission via Multimedia Broadcast / Multicast service over a Single Frequency Network (MBSFN). MBSFN is a large network consisting of multiple cells where the signal transmission are tightly time synchronized among them in a given duration. The configuration of which cells comprise a MBSFN area is necessary to adapt changes of MBMS users location. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach is proposed for dynamic configuration of MBSFN area. The proposed algorithm searches the optimal solution for MBSFN area deployment based on location where the densities of MBMS user equipments (UEs) are higher. The UEs that are expensive to cover would be sacrificed from being in MBSFN mode of transmission.
Video scene segmentation using Markov chain Monte Carlo (2006)

Videos are composed of many shots that are caused by different camera operations, e.g., on/off operations and switching between cameras. One important goal in video analysis is to group the shots into temporal scenes, such that all the shots in a single scene are related to the same subject, which could be a particular physical setting, an ongoing action or a theme. In this paper, we present a general framework for temporal scene segmentation in various video domains. The proposed method is formulated in a statistical fashion and uses the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique to determine the boundaries between video scenes. In this approach, a set of arbitrary scene boundaries are initialized at random locations and are automatically updated using two types of updates: diffusion and jumps. Diffusion is the process of updating the boundaries between adjacent scenes. Jumps consist of two reversible operations: the merging of two scenes and the splitting of an existing scene. The posterior probability of the target distribution of the number of scenes and their corresponding boundary locations is computed based on the model priors and the data likelihood. The updates of the model parameters are controlled by the hypothesis ratio test in the MCMC process, and the samples are collected to generate the final scene boundaries. The major advantage of the proposed framework is two-fold: 1) it is able to find the weak boundaries as well as the strong boundaries, i.e., it does not rely on the fixed threshold; 2) it can be applied to different video domains. We have tested the proposed method on two video domains: home videos and feature films, and accurate results have been obtained.
A Modeling Architecture for Capturing CNS Uncertainty and Prediction Errors in the NAS (2004)

The Airspace Concepts Evaluation System (ACES) is a distributed fast-time computer simulation of gate-to-gate flight operations throughout the National Airspace System (NAS). ACES is being developed by the NASA Virtual Airspace Modeling and Simulation project to assess future Air Traffic Management concepts of operation. ACES employs multitrajectory modeling in an agent-based software structure to describe the behavior and interactions of Traffic Flow Management, Air Traffic Control, Flight Deck, and Airline Operational Control entities and associated communication, navigation, surveillance and weather information technologies. This paper discusses the ACES architecture for modeling Communications, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) uncertainties and predictions and how those uncertainties propagate and affect agent decisions, delays and capacities within the NAS.
A Simple Exoskeleton That Assists Plantarflexion Can Reduce the Metabolic Cost of Human Walking (2013)

The optimum timing that we found concurs with the prediction from a mathematical model of walking. While the present exoskeleton was not ambulant, measurements of joint kinetics reveal that the required power could be recycled from knee extension deceleration work that occurs naturally during walking. This demonstrates that it is theoretically possible to build future ambulant exoskeletons that reduce metabolic cost, without power supply restrictions.
On the efficiency of capillary columns coated with medium polarity thick films (1985)

Abstract The efficiency of FSOT columns coated with thick films of polyphenylmethylsiloxane was theoretically and experimentally compared to thin apolar and medium polar coatings and to thick apolar coatings. Experimental hū and TZū plots clearly demonstrate the enormous loss in chromatographic efficiency of thick films of medium polar siloxane stationary phases. The low diffusion coefficient in the liquid phaese is responsible for this behavior. The influence of the temperature and the nature of the solute on the efficiency was also studied.
The Influence of Metabolic Factors for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Women (2015)

Our findings showed different metabolic factors for NAFLD in pre- and postmenopausal women. However, the key issues are the same: central obesity and insulin resistance. These results reemphasize the importance of metabolic factors irrespective of menopausal status in the pathogenesis of NAFLD in women.

Radiolabeled Polymeric Nanoconstructs Loaded with Docetaxel and Curcumin for Cancer Combinatorial Therapy and Nuclear Imaging (2015)

Growing evidence suggests that multifaceted diseases as cancer can be effectively tackled by hitting simultaneously different biological targets and monitoring patient‐specific responses. Combinatorial therapies, relying on the administration of two or more molecules with different cytotoxic mechanisms, are rapidly progressing in the clinic. Here, 100 nm spherical polymeric nanoconstructs (SPNs) are proposed for the combinatorial treatment of tumors by codelivering a potent antimitotic drug—docetaxel (DTXL)—and a broad spectrum anti‐inflammatory molecule—curcumin (CURC). In vitro, SPNs loaded with DTXL and CURC induce a threefold decrease in IC 50 as compared to DTXL‐loaded SPNs. This synergic antitumor effect is also significant in mouse models of glioblastoma multiforme, where, after 22 d of treatment, the combinatorial approach leads to complete disease regression. At 90 d post‐treatment initiation, mice injected with DTXL + CURC SPNs have a 100% survival, whereas only 50% of the DTXL SPN treated mice survive. SPNs are also labeled with radioactive 64 Cu(DOTA) molecules to document, via PET imaging, the progressive tumor mass shrinkage. Sensitization of DTXL by CURC is associated with NF‐κB downregulation and increased apoptosis. These theranostic nanoconstructs could be used for combinatorial treatment and assessment of therapeutic efficacy in other malignancies.
A phase-transfer assisted solvo-thermal strategy for low-temperature synthesis of Na3(VO1−xPO4)2F1+2x cathodes for sodium-ion batteries (2015)

We demonstrate that a series of high-performance cathode materials, sodium vanadium polyanionic compounds, Na3(VO1-xPO4)2F1+2x (x = 0, 0.5 and 1), can be synthesized by a phase-transfer assisted solvo-thermal strategy at a rather low temperature (80-140 °C) in one simple step, exhibiting a high Na storage capacity of ca. 120 mA h g(-1) and excellent cycling performance. This study makes a significant step to extend this strategy to the synthesis of functional materials from simple binary to complex multicomponent compounds.
