Control and performance monitoring of a multimedia platform over the ATM Pilot (1995)

This paper presents the Network Management Platform that have been deployed to control and monitor the BETEUS network. BETEUS performs multimedia application trials in a testbed based on an ATM WAN interconnection of local ATM nodes. Sophia-Antipolis (F), Lausanne (CH), Zurich (CH), and Geneva (CH) are interconnected over the European ATM Pilot. The BETEUS application platform allows geographically separated participants to actively take part in group discussions from their personal workstations equipped with audio and video facilities. BETEUS application platform is a typical example of future multimedia applications with its complexity with regard to numerous factors such as information type, distribution of users and their interactions, information flow, and stringent Quality of Service requirements. Performance may degrade at several levels: network equipment, interworking equipment, drivers, protocol stacks, etc. It is therefore necessary to develop a network management platform that is able to monitor the different parameters of interest during intensive usage of the multimedia applications. In addition to standard and proprietary MIBs provided with the networking devices, specific MIBs have been developed and integrated in the management environment. They are requested using standard protocols (CMIP/SNMP). The management activities involve the network (local ATM devices), the systems (multimedia hosts), and the
Proximity ligation scaffolding and comparison of two Trichoderma reesei strains genomes (2017)

The GRAAL program allowed us to generate the karyotype of the Rut-C30 strain, and from there to predict chromosome structure for most <i>T. reesei</i> strains for which sequence is available. This method that exploits proximity ligation sequencing approach is a fast, cheap, and straightforward way to characterize both chromosome structure and centromere sequences and is likely to represent a popular convenient alternative to expensive and work-intensive resequencing projects.
Low-cost, high-performance array detector for spectroscopy based on a charge-coupled photodiode (1994)

We describe a nitrogen-cooled array detector system based on the Thomson TH 7832A charge-coupled photodiode. Performance comparisons are made between this system and others based on two-dimensional CCDs. The TH 7832A compares favorably in resolution, spectral range, and readout speed. Analysis of read and shot noise contributions identifies classes of experiments for which the larger read noise of the TH 7832A is inconsequential.
Prognostic Value of Early Postoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Resectable Advanced Gastric Cancer (2001)

Purpose: There are variants of gastric cancer assoclated with predominantly peritoneal spread of with haematogenous metastases. Perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy as an adjuvant to surgery is considered as a rational therapeutic modality to prevent peritoneal spread. We evaluated the influence of early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy on the prognosis of resectable advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: From 1990 to 1995, 246 patients with biopsy proven advanced gastric cancer were enrolled in the study. Among them 123 patients received early postoperative intraperitoneal mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil. The survival rate was calculated using by the Kaplan-Meier method and was compared using the log-rank test according to 13 clinico-pathologic factors. Multivariate analysis was performed with the Coxproportional hazards model. Results: Gastric resection plusearly postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy showed an improved survival rate as compared to surgery alone ( P=0.0325). Depth of tumor invasion, degree of regional lymph vode metastasis, distant metastasis, tumor size, tumor location, extent of gastric resection, and curability of surgery significantly influenced survival. When a multivariate analysis was performed, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, curability of surgery, and extent of gastric resection emerged as the statistically significant and independent prognostic factors. Conlusion: Early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is one of the independent prognostic indicators of resectable advanced gastric cancer.
Effects of microscopic iron metal on the reflectance spectra of glass and minerals (1993)

Maturity, which is a measure of the time lunar soils have been in the upper approximately 1 mm of the surface, is correlated with changes in the soils' optical properties. Mature soil is darker and somewhat redder than immature soil of the same composition, and features in the reflectance spectrum become more subdued with increasing maturity. The maturation process also involves accumulation of agglutinitic glass and submicroscopic metallic iron particles. We have produced submicrometer iron metal blebs on the surface and within glass and mineral grains by the method of high-temperature reduction. This technique has permitted the determination of optical changes in samples much simpler than lunar soil, and offers a useful tool with which to investigate the maturation process.
The Roots of Compassion (2017)

Compassion for others and social support have survival value and health benefits. Although compassion is sometimes considered uniquely human, critical components of compassion have been described in nonhuman mammals. Studies originally conducted in social mammals and now in humans have implicated neuropeptide hormones, especially oxytocin, in social cognition, a sense of safety, and the capacity of sociality to permit compassionate responses. In contrast, the related peptide vasopressin and its receptor may be necessary for forming selective relationships and for the apparently paradoxical effects of oxytocin, which can include increases in fear and avoidance. Oxytocin and vasopressin may contribute to sex differences in compassion. Furthermore, among the processes through which oxytocin and vasopressin influence behavior and health are complex effects on the autonomic nervous system. Knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the benefits of compassion offers new insights into the healing power of positive social behaviors and social support.
Effect of Anodizing Parameters on Corrosion Resistance of Coated Purified Magnesium (2017)

Magnesium and its alloys are being considered for biodegradable biomaterials. However, high and uncontrollable corrosion rates have limited the use of magnesium and its alloys in biological environments. In this research, high purified magnesium (HP-Mg) was coated with stearic acid in order to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium. Anodization and immersion in stearic acid were used to form a hydrophobic layer on magnesium substrate. Different DC voltages, times, electrolytes, and temperatures were tested. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization were used to measure the corrosion rates of the coated HP-Mg. The results showed that optimum corrosion resistance occurred for specimens anodized at +4 volts for 4 minutes at 70°C in borate benzoate. The corrosion resistance was temporarily enhanced by 1000x.
Maternal plasma syndecan-1: a biomarker for fetal growth restriction (2023)

Low maternal plasma syndecan-1 may reflect placental diseases and this protein could be a biomarker for fetal growth restriction. However, as a sole biomarker for this condition, its accuracy is low.

Organisk fosfor i danske søer (2010)

Organiske fosforforbindelser (org. P) kan i visse danske søer udgøre en stor del af den samlede fosforpulje, men sammensætningen af org. P er dog dårligt kendt. Formålet med dette studium var derfor at opnå mere viden om typerne af org. P forbindelser i søsedimenter og vandsøjler samt at klarlægge eventuelle autoktone eller alloktone kilder til disse forbindelser. Desuden blev sedimentprofiler fra udvalgte søer undersøgt for at afgøre, hvorvidt forbindelserne kan nedbrydes og/eller mobiliseres fra sedimenterne. Sammensætningen blev bestemt under anvendelse af <sup>31</sup>P NMR spektroskopi. Puljen af org. P i sediment fra 15 danske søer udgjorde op til 30 % af TP. Specielt tre specifikke monoestere (<em>myo</em>-inositol hexakisfosfat (IP6), α-glycerofosfat og β-glycerofosfat) udgjorde en stor del af denne pulje i de mange af søerne. Mængden af alle tre monoestere faldt med sedimentdybden, hvilket kan indikere, at de enten nedbrydes eller mobiliseres fra sedimentet. Sammensætningen af org. P i vandsøjlen blev kun bestemt for 2 af søerne (Kvie Sø og Hampen Sø). I begge søer blev både α- og β-glycerofosfat, som sandsynligvis er nedbrydningsprodukter fra fosforlipider, identificeret. Vores undersøgelser viste, at autoktont plantemateriale er kilde til α- og β-glycerofosfat i sedimentet. Derimod er det endnu ikke lykkedes at klarlægge kilder til IP6 i søerne, men det kan have en terrestrisk oprindelse, da IP6 kan være den mest betydningsfulde pulje af org. P i jorden i dyrkede områder.
Track-recording techniques used on British Rail (1984)

Accurate and consistent data on railway-track quality is required from which track-maintenance action can be scheduled. In recent years two recording vehicles have been designed by British Rail: a high-speed track-recording coach (HSTRC) to provide maintenance data for the Civil Engineering Department, and a self-propelled diesel multiple unit used by the Research and Development Division for investigative work. For HSTRC a measuring system was needed which would be reliable under intensive running conditions, and which could be fitted to a standard coach with the minimum of mechanical modification. Conventional multiwheel or multiprobe systems were rejected because of the considerable mechanical complexity of the undergear, in favour of a single-point system using inertial techniques and measuring in the vertical plane through the running wheels and in the horizontal plane through noncontacting optical-scanning equipment. The inertial measuring system uses transducers, including accelerometers, rate gyroscopes and displacement transducers which provide inputs to special-purpose electronic processing networks which provide the required profiles. Onboard computer systems analyse the data to form track-quality estimates which are listed and recorded on magnetic tape for transfer to a central mainframe data bank. Operation of the track-recording coach is controlled by an automatic route-definition procedure using data stored on a central track-route data bank.
Recall of figure “A” of the bender-gestalt test among delinquents (1988)

The Bender-Gestalt test was administered to 182 Israeli adolescent males: four groups of juvenile delinquents and two of nondelinquent high-school students. Each of the delinquent groups was administered one of the following versions: a standard administration with figure A first (n = 60), a change of sequence with figure A last (n = 22), a regular sequence with figure A changed to two adjacing circles (n = 20), and with figure A changed to two adjacent diamonds (n = 20). One nondelinquent group took the test under standard administration with figure A first (n = 30), and one took it with figure A last (n = 20). The results showed significantly low recall of the original figure A by delinquents when it appeared first. This phenomenon was related to both primary effect and the design depicted in figure A, with a greater influence of the latter. Difficulties in integration were suggested as inhibiting delinquents' recall.
Politics in Popular Movies (2015)

Popular movies can be surprisingly smart about politics - from the portentous politics of state or war, to the grassroots, everyday politics of family, romance, business, church and school. Politics in Popular Movies analyses the politics in many well-known films across four popular genres: horror, war, thriller and science fiction. The book's aims are to appreciate specific movies and their shared forms, to understand their political engagements and to provoke some insightful conversations. The means are loosely related 'film takes' that venture ambitious, playful and engaging arguments on political styles encouraged by recent films. Politics in Popular Movies shows how conspiracy films expose oppressive systems; it explores how various thrillers prefigured American experiences of 9/11 and shaped aspects of the War on Terror; how some horror films embrace new media, while others use ultra-violence to spur political action; it argues that a popular genre is emerging to examine non-linear politics of globalisation, terrorism and more. Finally it analyses the ways in which sci-fi movies reflect populist politics from the Occupy and Tea Party movements, rethink the political foundations of current societies and even remake our cultural images of the future.
Cost and Calorie Analysis of Fast Food Consumption in College Students (2012)

The purpose of this research was to assess money spent and calories consumed by college students from fast food restaurants located on and around a southern college campus. A convenience sample (n = 152) of undergraduate college students (aged 18 - 24) at a southern university participated in a survey that measured dietary intake from seven local fast food chains using a researcher developed food frequency questionnaire and a lifestyle behavior survey that collected data on health practices. A strong positive correlation was found between total monthly fast food expense and total monthly fast food caloric consumption (r(150) = 0.94, p t test comparing the mean monthly fast food restaurant expense males to females found a significant difference between the two groups (t(150) = 4.19, p < 0.05).The more money spent by college students contributed to a higher amount of calories consumed from fast food in a typical month. Future research needs to determine if college students are contributing to the high obesity rate and if limiting fast food restaurants on and around college campuses would help decrease fast food consumption in college students.
The application of lidar in detecting space debris (2008)

The accumulation of space debris is expected to present an increasing threat to orbital aerostat. To develop and use space resource continually and in security the detecting technology for space debris has to be improved. The paper firstly introduces the concept of space debris and their common detection means, and then introduces the application of lidar in detecting the space debris. Comparing with conventional optical observation systems lidar adopts active detecting mode, without the limitation of illumination and with a long detecting distance. It also can measure range and speed of targets. Comparing with microwave radar the beam of lidar is narrow and it has great orientation precision and resolving power. To satisfy detecting small-sized debris in long distance and big area the paper proposes the composite method to detect the space debris which uses millimeter wave radar and optic equipment. It firstly uses millimeter wave with long distance and big view field to confirm the position of debris in long distance. And then it uses optical system with high resolving and anti-jamming power for accurate orientation and identification. It also measure the distance, angle and speed exactly of debris. The study in theory indicates this composite method can complete the detecting and orientation and achieve the distance, angle and speed of the space debris more than 10cm range beyond 150km.
Resection of primary central nervous system lymphoma: impact of patient selection on overall survival (2021)

Specific subgroups of patients with a solitary PCNSL lesion might gain a survival benefit from resection compared with undergoing only a diagnostic biopsy.
Analysing the eosinophil cationic protein - a clue to the function of the eosinophil granulocyte (2011)

Eosinophil granulocytes reside in respiratory mucosa including lungs, in the gastro-intestinal tract, and in lymphocyte associated organs, the thymus, lymph nodes and the spleen. In parasitic infections, atopic diseases such as atopic dermatitis and asthma, the numbers of the circulating eosinophils are frequently elevated. In conditions such as Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) circulating eosinophil levels are even further raised. Although, eosinophils were identified more than hundred years ago, their roles in homeostasis and in disease still remain unclear. The most prominent feature of the eosinophils are their large secondary granules, each containing four basic proteins, the best known being the eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). This protein has been developed as a marker for eosinophilic disease and quantified in biological fluids including serum, bronchoalveolar lavage and nasal secretions. Elevated ECP levels are found in T helper lymphocyte type 2 (atopic) diseases such as allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis but also occasionally in other diseases such as bacterial sinusitis. ECP is a ribonuclease which has been attributed with cytotoxic, neurotoxic, fibrosis promoting and immune-regulatory functions. ECP regulates mucosal and immune cells and may directly act against helminth, bacterial and viral infections. The levels of ECP measured in disease in combination with the catalogue of known functions of the protein and its polymorphisms presented here will build a foundation for further speculations of the role of ECP, and ultimately the role of the eosinophil.
Data-driven Kernel-based Probabilistic SAX for Time Series Dimensionality Reduction (2020)

Abstract—The ever-increasing volume and complexity of time<br> series data, emerging in various application domains, necessitate<br> efficient dimensionality reduction for facilitating data mining<br> tasks. Symbolic representations, among them symbolic aggregate<br> approximation (SAX), have proven very effective in compacting<br> the information content of time series while exploiting the wealth<br> of search algorithms used in bioinformatics and text mining<br> communities. However, typical SAX-based techniques rely on a<br> Gaussian assumption for the underlying data statistics, which<br> often deteriorates their performance in practical scenarios. To<br> overcome this limitation, this work introduces a method that<br> negates any assumption on the probability distribution of time<br> series. Specifically, a data-driven kernel density estimator is<br> first applied on the data, followed by Lloyd-Max quantization<br> to determine the optimal horizontal segmentation breakpoints.<br> Experimental evaluation on distinct datasets demonstrates the<br> superiority of our method, in terms of reconstruction accuracy<br> and tightness of lower bound, when compared against the<br> conventional and a modified SAX method.

Validating Complex Construction Simulation Models Using 3D Visualization (2003)

One of primary impediments in the use of discrete-event simulation to plan and design construction operations is that decision-makers often do not have the means, the knowledge, and/or the time to check the veracity and the validity of simulation models and thus have little confidence in the results. Visualizing simulated operations in 3D can be of substantial help in the verification, validation, and accreditation of simulation models. In addition, visualization can provide valuable insight into subtleties of modeled operations that are otherwise non-quantifiable and presentable. This paper investigates the efficacy of 3D visualization in verifying and validating discrete-event construction simulation models. The paper presents a case study of a simulation model of an earthmoving operation with fairly complex control logic that was verified and validated by visualizing the operation in 3D. The simulation model for the example was developed using Stroboscope and was visualized using the Dynamic Construction Visualizer.
3D multichannels and stacked nanowires technologies for new design opportunities in nanoelectronics (2008)

Novel 3D stacked Gate-All-Around Multichannel CMOS architectures were developed to propose low leakage solutions and new design opportunities for sub-32nm nodes. Those architectures offer specific advantages compared to other planar or non planar CMOS devices. In particular, ultra-low I <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">OFF</inf> (≪ 20pA/μm) and high ION (≫ 2.2mA/μm) were demonstrated. Moreover, those transistors do not suffer from discrete width layout constraints and can benefit from specific options like independent gate operation.
<title>Fabric interconnection of fiber channel standard nodes</title> (1993)

The Fiber Channel (FC) being defined by the ANSI X3T9.3 task group provides a general transport vehicle for a number of upper level protocols. Interconnection of Fiber Channel nodes is accomplished using the Fiber Channel Fabric which is being defined by the FC Fabric Special Subject Working Group (SSWG). This paper discusses the general concepts of a fabric, describes the various fabric topologies being considered, and discusses some of the characteristics of a fabric.
A longitudinal study of epigenetic variation in twins (2010)

DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism involved in the developmental regulation of gene expression. Alterations in DNA methylation are established contributors to inter-individual phenotypic variation and have been associated with disease susceptibility. The degree to which changes in loci-specific DNA methylation are under the influence of heritable and environmental factors is largely unknown. In this study, we quantitatively measured DNA methylation across the promoter regions of the dopamine receptor 4 gene (DRD4), the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4/SERT) and the X-linked monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA) using DNA sampled at both ages 5 and 10 years in 46 MZ twin-pairs and 45 DZ twin-pairs (total n=182). Our data suggest that DNA methylation differences are apparent already in early childhood, even between genetically identical individuals, and that individual differences in methylation are not stable over time. Our longitudinal-developmental study suggests that environmental influences are important factors accounting for interindividual DNA methylation differences, and that these influences differ across the genome. The observation of dynamic changes in DNA methylation over time highlights the importance of longitudinal research designs for epigenetic research.
