An optimization of the star-wheel profile in a single screw compressor (2014)

Single screw compressors have been used in various industrial fields, but the star-wheel does not have a good durability as expected. Good hydrodynamic lubrication states can enhance the wear resistance of the star-wheel. However, the imbalance of the lubricant film forces which act on the front flank and the back flank of the star-wheel tooth have a great influence on the lubrication between the meshing pair. In order to improve the lubrication, an approach for optimization of the star-wheel profile is developed, and the optimization goal is proposed in this paper. Column envelope profile meshing pair in an oil-flooded single screw compressor is taken as an optimization example. After optimization, the lubrication states in clearance between the groove flanks and the teeth flanks are improved. The meshing pairs with optimal profile are applied in an oil single screw compressor, and the experiment data supports the optimization approach well.

Murepavadin: a new antibiotic class in the pipeline (2018)

With the increase in multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa, antimicrobials with a novel mechanism of action are needed that can target these infections. Areas covered: Intravenous murepavadin is in Phase 3 development for the treatment of HABP/VABP due to P. aeruginosa. This paper summarizes the available information on the discovery, the in vitro activity, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and the clinical pharmacology of murepavadin to date. Expert commentary: P. aeruginosa has an intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics due to high cellular impermeability and efficient drug efflux mechanisms, and the recent increase in prevalence of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa infections are particularly threatening in ICU settings. Murepavadin is a pathogen specific antimicrobial peptidomimetic with a novel, non-lytic mechanism of action, and is the first in class of outer membrane protein targeting antibiotics which are being developed. Murepavadin displays a potent in vitro activity including carbapenemase-producing and colistin-resistant P. aeruginosa. Murepavadin is active in pre-clinical animal models including infections with XDR isolates. The Pharmacokinetics is well characterized including subjects with impaired renal function and patients with VABP. Intravenous murepavadin is currently under clinical development for the treatment of HABP/VABP due to P. aeruginosa infection.
Selecting Embedded Feature Modeling with Software Product Line for Smart Home Applications (2022)

Internet of Things (IoT) for environmental applications such as smart homes, campuses, cities, and health care systems are used to connect various wireless devices. Despite the use of the same devices, the reusability of these applications enables developers and software engineers to make enhancements to the development process according to the requirements of end users. However, the large number of variations in IoT technologies makes it hard for the developers or software engineers to select the default features in each application because of compatibility issues among devices. In this paper, Software Product Line (SPL) approach is proposed to design and manage the variabilities and commonalities among smart home applications. An embedded feature selection mechanism is proposed to classify the services by selecting the optimal subset feature. The selected subset features are those that are highly correlated and consistent with other features. The dataset is generated using open smart home simulator (OpenSHS) for daily activities within the virtual environment. The subset of features is evaluated by the level of consistency in each service. Weka data mining tool is used to find the classifier such as Bayes network and decision table which achieve the best accuracies on the dataset obtained in order to support services for residents in smart home applications. The approach adopted is based on a set of predefined performance metrics in order to compare the results for each classifier in terms of its ability to classify the services. It has been found that the Bayes network achieves an accuracy over 84.0% while the decision table achieved an accuracy over 83.0%.

Network Coding Meets TCP: Theory and Implementation (2011)

The theory of network coding promises significant benefits in network performance, especially in lossy networks and in multicast and multipath scenarios. To realize these benefits in practice, we need to understand how coding across packets interacts with the acknowledgment (ACK)-based flow control mechanism that forms a central part of today's Internet protocols such as transmission control protocol (TCP). Current approaches such as rateless codes and batch-based coding are not compatible with TCP's retransmission and sliding-window mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism called TCP/NC that incorporates network coding into TCP with only minor changes to the protocol stack, thereby allowing incremental deployment. In our scheme, the source transmits random linear combinations of packets currently in the congestion window. At the heart of our scheme is a new interpretation of ACKs-the sink acknowledges every degree of freedom (i.e., a linear combination that reveals one unit of new information) even if it does not reveal an original packet immediately. Thus, our new TCP ACK rule takes into account the network coding operations in the lower layer and enables a TCP-compatible sliding-window approach to network coding. Coding essentially masks losses from the congestion control algorithm and allows TCP/NC to react smoothly to losses, resulting in a novel and effective approach for congestion control over lossy networks such as wireless networks. An important feature of our solution is that it allows intermediate nodes to perform re-encoding of packets, which is known to provide significant throughput gains in lossy networks and multicast scenarios. Simulations show that our scheme, with or without re-encoding inside the network, achieves much higher throughput compared to TCP over lossy wireless links. We present a real-world implementation of this protocol that addresses the practical aspects of incorporating network coding and decoding with TCP's window management mechanism. We work with TCP-Reno, which is a widespread and practical variant of TCP. Our implementation significantly advances the goal of designing a deployable, general, TCP-compatible protocol that provides the benefits of network coding.
Effect of Microstructure on Mechanical Response of MAX Phases (2016)

High density samples of Ti2AlC, a MAX Phase material, with three different grain sizes were processed by Reaction Sintering. The dynamic thermo-mechanical response of these samples was investigated by a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar in conjunction with induction heating. Ti2AlC exhibits high compressive strength (above 600 MPa) for temperatures as high as 1100 °C under dynamic loading. The peak compressive stress decreases with increasing temperatures. Specimens exhibited catastrophic brittle failure at room temperature but graceful failure at high temperatures. Moreover, the temperature at which graceful failure occurs decreases with increasing grain size. Also, a Hall-Petch like relationship was observed between compressive strength and the grain diameter.
[Study on the inhibiting effects of equol on MCF-7 cells proliferation and its molecular mechanisms]. (2014)

The equol could inhibit the proliferation of the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and its inhibitory effect may be due to inducing apoptosis, arresting the cell cycle in G0/G1 phase, down-regulating the expression of bag-1, bcl-2, VEGF, p-ERK1/2 and p-p38 protein.
Exploration and Analysis of Strain Softening Phenomena of L6 Steel (2017)

It is a necessity of modern forging industries to explore new materials for hot forging dies, which gives better quality of forging with extended fatigue life and less economic aspects. L6 Steel is one of the material for modern metal forming industries, which mollifies all the benchmarks and requirements. Pre-Mature fatigue failure of forging dies is always an unpredictable and economical damage for any metal forming industry. L6 Steel is a high strength material to avoid die cracking during complex phenomenon of hot forming process. L6 steel, which when subjected to load, will get softened and this is strain softening. In this paper, numerous experiments have been carried on L6 steel material to evaluate cyclic Stress -strain behavior of this material. This research leads us to evaluate and explain phenomenon regarding strain softening and its behavior during low cycle fatigue test. Low cycle fatigue test is carried out on MTS fatigue test machine at fully reverse loading condition R=-1. Also strain softening effect on forging metal forming process is explained in detail. The failed samples during low cycle fatigue test further investigated metallurgically on scanning electron microscopy. Material micro mechanisms further investigated by EBSD technique. Finally the study concludes that, strain softening phenomenon plays a vital role in the fatigue failure of metal forming dies.
Effect of Orange Oil Extract on the Formosan Subterranean Termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) (2007)

The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), accidentally brought into the United States, has become a major urban pest, causing damage to structures and live trees. Because of increasing restrictions on the use of conventional termiticides, attention is focused on finding safer alternative methods for termite management. Oil from citrus peel, referred to here as orange oil extract (OOE), contains ≈92% d-limonene, and it is generally known to be toxic to insects. In laboratory experiments, 96 and 68% termites were killed in 5 d when OOE at 5 ppm (vol:vol) was dispensed from the top or bottom, respectively, with termites held at the opposite end of a tight-fitting plastic container. Apart from high mortality, workers exposed to vapor consumed significantly less filter paper than controls. However, when termites were exposed to OOE vapor, even at 10 ppm, in the void of a model wall, there was very little mortality. Termites did not tunnel through glass tubes filled with sand treated with 0.2 or 0.4% OOE. Sand treated with OOE was extracted each week for 8 wk to determine the remaining amount of d-limonene. Results indicated that there was a sharp decline in the quantity of d-limonene during the first 3 wk to a residual level that gradually decreased over the remaining period. With a suitable method of application and in combination with other control practices, OOE can be effectively used for the control of subterranean termites.

Enhancing Team Composition in Professional Networks: Problem Definitions and Fast Solutions (2016)

In this paper, we study ways to enhance the composition of teams based on new requirements in a collaborative environment. We focus on recommending team members who can maintain the team's performance by minimizing changes to the team's skills and social structure. Our recommendations are based on computing team-level similarity, which includes <i>skill similarity</i>, <i>structural similarity</i> as well as the <i>synergy</i> between the two. Current heuristic approaches are one-dimensional and not comprehensive, as they consider the two aspects independently. To formalize team-level similarity, we adopt the notion of graph kernel of attributed graphs to encompass the two aspects and their interaction. To tackle the computational challenges, we propose a family of fast algorithms by (a) designing effective pruning strategies, and (b) exploring the smoothness between the existing and the new team structures. Extensive empirical evaluations on real world datasets validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithms.

Benthopelagic Shrimp and Associated Pelagic and Benthopelagic Fauna on a Bowhead Whale Foraging Ground in Disko Bay, West Greenland (2014)

Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) congregate annually in Disko Bay, West Greenland prior to and during the spring phytoplankton bloom. We investigated the benthopelagic and associated pelagic fauna at 25 - 200 m depth during the spring of 2008 and 2009 in an area where foraging whales have often been observed. The benthopelagic and associated pelagic fauna > 0.5 mm in greatest body dimension was dominated by Crustacea which comprised 95 % of a total wet weight biomass of 2.1 ± 1.7 g m -3 , and included at least 15 species of Caridea ≥ 5 mm (1.6 ± 1.5 g m -3 ) which comprised almost 100 % of Caridean, 81 % of Crustacean, and 77 % of total wet weight biomass m -3 . Three groups of organisms ≥ 5 mm (Caridea, Mysida, and Pisces) made up 94 % of total wet weight biomass. Together, Copepoda, Amphipoda, Caridea, and Mysida made up 96 % of the total abundance of 63 ± 103 specimens m -3 . Copepods averaged 42 % of total abundance. There was a general decrease in biomass and abundance with increasing depth, mainly due to Caridea, Mysida, and Amphipoda. Pisces and Copepoda had greatest biomass and were most abundant at intermediate depths (50-100 m). The size of most of the largest and most abundant species of Caridea and Pisces increased with depth. This is among the first detailed examinations of a bowhead whale foraging ground in the Arctic and the first comprehensive description of benthopelagic and associated pelagic fauna in West Greenland.
Anatomosurigical Classification of the Ventral Clivus and Endoscopic Endonasal Transclival Approaches (2009)

Introduction: Recent introduction of the endonasal endoscopic approach is facilitating the transgression of conventional anatomical and surgical frontiers, with great implications for the treatment of lesions in the clival region. Consequently, novel anatomical studies are needed to ascertain the limitations of this approach. The objective of this study is to describe an endosurgical, anatomically based classification of the clivus to aid in understanding the surgical landmarks, neurovascular structures at risk, anatomical boundaries, and areas of exposure during the performance of an endoscopic endonasal transclival approach.
[Alteration of p15 and p16 gene in gastric cancer]. (1997)

We analyzed p15 and p16 gene alterations in gastric cancer. Only MKN45 showed both homozygous deletions but other cell lines and all of tumor specimens did not show any alterations. Using RT-PCR analysis, decreased or no expression of the p16 gene was found in 1 of 7 cell lines (except MKN45) (14.2%) and in 8 of 20 tumors (40%), whereas no abnormalities of p15 gene expression were found. These results suggest that the p16 gene may correlate with tumorigenesis and tumor expansion due to decrease or loss of gene products in gastric cancer.
The design and implementation of multilingualized Squeak (2003)

This paper describes the design and implementation of multilingualization ("m17n") of a dynamic object-oriented environment called Squeak. The goal of this project is to provide a collaborative and late-bound environment where the users can use many different natural languages and characters. Squeak is a highly portable implementation of a dynamic objects environment and it is a good starting point toward the future collaborative environment. However, its text related classes lack the ability to handle natural languages that require extended character sets such as Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Korean, and Japanese. We have been implementing the multilingualization extension to Squeak. The extension we wrote can be classified as follows: 1) new character and string representations for extended character sets, 2) keyboard input and the file out of multilingual text mechanism, 3) flexible text composition mechanism, 4) extended font handling mechanisms including dynamic font loading and outline font handling, 5) higher level application changes including a Japanese version of SqueakToys. The resulting environment has the following characteristics: 1) various natural languages can be used in the same context, 2) the pixels on screen, including the appearance of characters can be completely controlled by the program, 3) decent word processing facility for a mixture of multiple languages, 4) existing Squeak capability, such as remote collaborative mechanism will be integrated with it, 5) small memory footprint requirement.

Web Service Clustering Method Based on Word Vector and Biterm Topic Model (2021)

The increasing number of Web services brings challenges for accurate and efficient service discovery. Service clustering technology can narrow the retrieval range of service discovery and improve the efficiency of service discovery. However, due to the short text features with few words and difficult feature extraction in service description text, the traditional text clustering model can not get effective clusters. In this paper, a web service clustering method based on word vector and BTM (Biterm Topic Model) is proposed. Firstly, the sparse feature problem of short text is alleviated by expanding the word vector. Secondly, the extended service description text is modeled by the BTM based on Gibbs sampling. Finally, the k-means algorithm is used to cluster web services. Compared with LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) and BTM, this method improves the F-Measure of clustering index. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively alleviate the problem of sparse service description text features and improve the clustering effect of services.
Synthesis and Properties of Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene-Based Polyurethanes Reinforced with Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (2014)

Polyurethane/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (PU/POSS) hybrid composites are prepared by a one-step PU reaction using hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) prepolymer, isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and either non-reactive or reactive POSS molecule. The effect of incorporation of functionalized POSS molecules covalently bonded or physically blended into PU matrix is investigated in terms of mechanical reinforcement and thermal stability of these resulting PU/POSS hybrid composites. PU/POSS hybrid composites prepared with reactive POSS molecules exhibit the mechanical reinforcement while maintaining low glass transition temperataure (T(g)), probably due to the fact that reactive POSS molecules chemically incorporated in PU are aggregated to crystallize, effectively working as a physical crosslinking in PU/POSS hybrid composites. This can be advantageous in that mechanical reinforcement of PU/POSS hybrid composites can be achived without sacrificing the low temperature properties of these composites. However, the contribution of POSS molecules incorporated covalently into PU matrix is virtually absent on the thermal decomposition temperature (T(d,max)) measured using TGA/DTG. Thermal degradation behavior of these hybrid composites in the early stage rather appears to depend preferably on characteristics of POSS molecules incorporated.
Ab initio protein structure prediction using a combined hierarchical approach (1999)

As part of the third Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction meeting (CASP3), we predict the three-dimensional structures for 13 proteins using a hierarchical approach. First, all possible compact conformations of a protein sequence are enumerated using a highly simplified tetrahedral lattice model. We select a large subset of these conformations using a lattice-based scoring function and build detailed all-atom models incorporating predicted secondary structure. A combined all-atom knowledge-based scoring function is then used to select three smaller subsets from these all-atom models. Finally, a consensus-based distance geometry procedure is used to generate the best conformations from each of the all-atom subsets. With this method, we are able to predict the global topology/shape for all or a large part of the sequence for six out of the thirteen proteins. For two other proteins, the topology/shape for shorter fragments are predicted. This represents a marked improvement in ab initio prediction since CASP was first instigated in 1994.
