Irregular interpolation of seismic data through low-rank tensor approximation (2015)

Seismic data usually show irregular spatial sampling because of cable feathering (for marine acquisitions) or physical obstacles in acquisition area (for land surveys). Seismic traces can be also irregularly distributed because of missing or noisy recordings and sensor faults. In recent literature, matrix and tensor rank optimization have been applied to achieve seismic data interpolation and to attenuate unstructured additive noise. In fact, low-rank components can capture the local features of the recorded data, such as envelope and slopes of the events. In this work, we derive a novel interpolation technique based on the low-rank approximation of matrices and tensors, which can interpolate irregularly sampled seismic data onto an arbitrary output geometry. Results on real data prove the feasibility of the proposed approach.
Phase I trial of cremophor-free, polymeric micelle formulation of paclitaxel with carboplatin in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. (2011)

e15533 Background: Cremorphor EL, used to enhance drug solubility, may add to paclitaxel’s toxicities such as hypersensitivity reactions or peripheral neuropathy. Genexol-PM is a Cremophor-free, polymeric micelle formulation of paclitaxel. It has been proven to have better tolerability from several clinical trials in solid tumors. The primary objective of this phase I trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Genexol-PM as a combined chemotherapy with carboplatin in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). The secondary objectives are to determine the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and evaluate the response. Methods: Eighteen patients with stage IIIB-IV epithelial ovarian cancer were entered into the study. Genexol-PM was intravenously administered over 3 hours every 3 weeks with a constant carboplatin (AUC 5). The premedication was 100mg hydrocortisone and 45.5mg pheniramine maleate at 30 minutes before the infusion of Genexol-PM. The Genexol-PM dose was escalated from 220 mg/m2 (level 1) to 300 mg/m2 (level 3). Results: Seventeen patients were evaluable for toxicity and response. Acute hypersensitivity reaction was not observed. There were severe toxicities in 20.63% and life-threatening toxicities in 7.83%. Neutropenia, neuropathy and myalgia were the most common toxicities. Severe and life-threatening toxicities occurred in all 3-dose patients, respectively, they were mainly at 260 mg/m2 and 300 mg/m2; however they were tolerated and absolutely recovered. One DLT of myalgia was observed at 300 mg/m2, however, MTD was not reached by the level 3 (300 mg/m2). Additionally, the response rate was 94.12% (16/17) and was not different according to the dosage (p=1.00). Only one patient showed a progressive disease and there was no death related to the disease or treatment. Conclusions: Genexol-PM with carboplatin is well tolerated and effective in patients with advanced EOC and the recommended dosage for phase II trial is 260 mg/m2. Genexol-PM is considered to be superior to conventional paclitaxel because of the possibilities of delivering higher paclitaxel dose without additional toxicities.
Tracking retention and transport of ultrafine polystyrene in an asthmatic mouse model using positron emission tomography (2013)

Upon exposure to particulates, asthmatic individuals are more susceptible to deleterious health effects and increased morbidity and mortality when compared to healthy individuals. These effects are not limited to the respiratory system; increases in acute cardiovascular events have been observed. The development of extrapulmonary illnesses has led to interest in determining whether particles move out of the lungs and whether transport of particles differs for asthmatic individuals. Differences in particle deposition and retention in asthmatic versus normal subjects have been explored in the literature using the gamma camera, a two-dimensional imaging technique. Herein we report the deposition and fate of (64)Cu-labeled 100 nm polystyrene particles in a mouse model of asthma using positron emission tomography (PET). All animals were handled humanely under an approved protocol (UC Davis Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee). Particles were administered by intratracheal instillation and animals were imaged over 48 hours using PET. Biodistribution was determined from images using Regions of Interest (ROI) analysis. After 48 hours, for the asthmatic animals, we observed that ~28% of the initial dose is cleared from the lungs; particle accumulation in small amounts is evident in the GI (gastrointestinal) tract, liver, and bladder. This decrease in lung retention is significantly different when compared to the normal mouse (~11%DD), which showed minimal particle transport out of the lung (P < 0.001). This study indicates that ultrafine particles (UFP) undergo enhanced transport out of the lungs in an asthma model. This observed transport may facilitate the adverse peripheral effects associated with particulate exposure.
<title>Reconstruction of complete 3D object model from multiview range images</title> (1999)

In this paper, we designed and implemented a method which can register and integrate range images obtained from different view points for building complete 3D object models. This method contains three major parts: (1) registration of range images and estimation of the parameters of rigid-body transformations, (2) integration of redundant surface patches and generation of triangulated mesh surface models, and (3) reduction of triangular mesh and texture mapping. We developed the RANSAC-based DARCES technique to estimate the parameters of the rigid-body transformations between two partially-overlapping range images without requiring initial estimates. Then, we used a circular-ICP procedure to reduce the global registration error. We also used the consensus surface algorithm combined with the marching cube method to generate triangular meshes. Finally, by texture blending and mapping, we can then reconstruct a virtual 3D model containing both geometrical and texture information.
Patch Reviewer Recommendation in OSS Projects (2013)

In an Open Source Software (OSS) project, many developers contribute by submitting source code patches. To maintain the quality of the code, certain experienced developers review each patch before it can be applied or committed. Ideally, within a short amount of time after its submission, a patch is assigned to a reviewer and reviewed. In the real world, however, many large and active OSS projects evolve at a rapid pace and the core developers can get swamped with a large number of patches to review. Furthermore, since these core members may not always be available or may choose to leave the project, it can be challenging, at times, to find a good reviewer for a patch. In this paper, we propose a graph-based method to automatically recommend the most suitable reviewers for a patch. To evaluate our method, we conducted experiments to predict the developers who will apply new changes to the source code in the Eclipse project. Our method achieved an average recall of 0.84 for top-5 predictions and a recall of 0.94 for top-10 predictions.
고온 수화학 분위기에서 하중주파수가 SA508Cl.3 압력용기강의 피로균열성장 속도에 미치는 영향 (2000)

To assess the fatigue crack growth behavior of reactor pressure vessel at the nuclear reactor operating condition, the fatigue test was performed under water environments of high temperature and pressure. Test parameters were loading frequency, dissolved oxygen(DO) content and temperature. The results at low DO condition were similar to that in air environment. At high DO condition (8000 ppb), the crack growth rate was increased with the decrease of loading frequency. Fractographic study and surface analysis indicated that the enhancement of crack growth rate was due to environmentally assisted cracks near sulfur inclusions. For the case of 0.05 ㎐ test, crack path was the lath boundaries at low ΔK, while at high ΔK there was brittle facets around carbides. These features were coincident to hydrogen embrittlement. And it is understood crack growth rate depended on the quantities of absorbed hydrogen and also on the number of trapping sites at the plastic flow zone of crack. Especially, the dependence of crack growth rate on ΔK was particularly high in the case of 0.05 ㎐ condition, this may be enhanced by the dynamic strain aging which increases hydrogen trapping sites.
Estratégias de manejo de coberturas de solo no inverno para cultivo do milho em sucessão no sistema semeadura direta (2006)

A maioria dos produtores do estado do Rio Grande do Sul adota o sistema de semeadura direta, em que não há revolvimento do solo para preparo da área para semeadura. A adoção de um sistema de rotação e sucessão de culturas diversificado, que produza adequada quantidade de resíduos culturais na superfície do solo, é fundamental para sustentabilidade do sistema de semeadura direta. Os agricultores dispõem de várias espécies de cobertura de solo no inverno com potencial para anteceder a cultura do milho em sucessão. Na família das poáceas, destaca-se a aveia preta (Avena strigosa) como a mais cultivada. No entanto, o seu uso continuado pode causar prejuízos ao cultivo do milho em sucessão. Objetivando minimizar os efeitos das poáceas e ao mesmo tempo atender às exigências do sistema de semeadura direta, novas espécies de inverno pertencentes a famílias botânicas distintas, como fabáceas e brassicáceas, têm sido estudadas, tanto em cultivos solteiros quanto em consórcio com poáceas, como alternativas para anteceder o cultivo do milho. Assim, esta revisão bibliográfica tem como objetivos descrever as principais vantagens e limitações do uso de coberturas de solo no inverno, em cultivos solteiros ou consorciados, como culturas antecessoras ao milho no sistema de semeadura direta e discutir estratégias de manejo destas coberturas que resultem em maiores benefícios para o milho.
Multidrug-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in US Meat and Poultry (2011)

We characterized the prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and genotypes of Staphylococcus aureus among US meat and poultry samples (n = 136). S. aureus contaminated 47% of samples, and multidrug resistance was common among isolates (52%). S. aureus genotypes and resistance profiles differed significantly among sample types, suggesting food animal-specific contamination.
Natural genetic variation of Arabidopsis thaliana root morphological response to magnesium supply (2015)

Plants dynamically cope with the variability of mineral nutrient distribution in soil by constantly modulating nutrient uptake and shaping root-system architecture. The changes in root morphology in response to major essential elements are largely documented, but little is known about how the root system responds to magnesium (Mg) availability. Thirty-six natural accessions of the model species Arabidopsis thaliana were subjected to an in vitro screen for identifying variation in root system architecture in response to Mg availability. Response of root morphology was observed on 2-dimensional agar plates. Low Mg supply repressed the elongation of the lateral roots more than of the primary root. However, some accessions exhibited higher number and length of lateral roots than the reference Columbia-0. Across all accessions, the root morphological traits did not correlate with tissue Mg concentrations. Interestingly, shoot calcium and root phosphorus concentrations were positively correlated with the number and length of lateral roots, whereas root iron concentration was negatively correlated with the primary root length. The diversity of root phenotypes identified in this report is a useful resource to study the genetic component determining root morphology in response to Mg availability.

The Global Availability of Rabies Immune Globulin and Rabies Vaccine in Clinics Providing Direct Care to Travelers (2013)

The availability of RV and RIG varied by geographic region. All travelers should be informed that RIG and RV might not be readily available at their destination and that travel health and medical evacuation insurance should be considered prior to departure. Travelers should be educated to avoid animal exposures; to clean all animal bites, licks, and scratches thoroughly with soap and water; and to seek medical care immediately, even if overseas.
Standard Codecs: Image compression to advanced video coding (2003)

This book discusses the growth of digital television technology and the revolution in image and video compression (such as JPEG2000, broadcast TV, video phone), highlighting the need for standardisation in processing static and moving images and their exchange between computer systems. The book gives an authoritative explanation of picture and video coding algorithms, working from basic principles through to the advanced video compression systems now being developed. One of its main objectives is to describe the reasons behind the introduction of a standard codec for a specific application and its chosen parameter.
Radar Applications in Level Measurement, Distance Measurement and Nondestructive Material Testing (1997)

This paper presents first an overview over commercial microwave sensor systems in the field of level measurement of liquids and bulk goods. Advances in microwave technique and digital signal processing created new markets in process engineering. There a two classes of microwave level sensor systems: high precision sensor for storage tanks and sensors for process tank with hard measuring conditions like high temperature, pressre, turbulrnces, agitators etc. There exist cw as well as pulse radar systems. The signal processing in tanks differs from standard free space distance measrement because of the compatively small measuring distance and the variety of multiple and unwanted echo paths. Special features of this signal processing are prsented. Commercial available microwave sensors also can be adapted for distance measument and distance warning of autonomous systems. Selfcalibration by phase analysis can cut hardware costs of fmcw radar systems. Further an example for using a commercial level sensor in the field of nondestrutve material testing is presented.

Prevention of HIV-1 Infection and Preservation of CD4 Function by the Binding of CPFs to gp120 (1990)

Infection by human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) is initiated when its envelope protein, gp120, binds to its receptor, the cell surface glycoprotein CD4. Small molecules, termed N-carbomethoxycarbonyl-prolyl-phenylalanyl benzyl esters (CPFs), blocked this binding. CPFs interacted with gp120 and did not interfere with the binding of CD4 to class II major histocompatibility complex molecules. One CPF isomer, CPF(DD), preserved CD4-dependent T cell function while inhibiting HIV-1 infection of H9 tumor cells and human T cells. Although the production of viral proteins in infected T cells is unaltered by CPF(DD), this compound prevents the spread of infection in an in vitro model system.
Fault Tolerance Oriented Sensors Relay Monitoring Mechanism for Overhead Transmission Line in Smart Grid (2014)

Recently, sensors are applied to support the realization of the innovative smart grid. As the high reliability requirements of electric power, communication sensors with fault tolerance have been the focus of many researchers. In this paper, sensors are used to monitor and control the power distribution network. As the limitation of linear topology, we investigate redundancy of relay nodes in hybrid network architecture and propose an integrated fault tolerance framework. The framework provides solutions for the three subproblems which are number problem, placement problem, and adaptive problem. The number of backup nodes and cellular modules is explored with optimization. The exact deployment position is examined and the adaptive action will be taken when a fault occurs in the framework. Three paradigms are sequential in different stage and a fault tolerance framework is being built up. The extensive experiments illustrate effectiveness of our framework and numerical results highlight some interesting observations.
Retinoic Acid Binding Leads to CRABP2 Rigidification and Dimerization (2019)

Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2) delivers <i>all-trans</i> retinoic acid (atRA) to retinoic acid receptors (RARs), allowing for the activation of specific gene transcription. The structural similarities between free and atRA-bound CRABP2 raise the questions of how atRA binding occurs and how the atRA:CRABP2 complex is recognized by downstream binding partners. Thus, to gain insights into these questions, we conducted a detailed atRA-CRABP2 interaction study using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The data showed that free CRABP2 displays widespread intermediate-time scale dynamics that is effectively suppressed upon atRA binding. This effect is mirrored by the fast-time scale dynamics of CRABP2. Unexpectedly, CRABP2 rigidification in response to atRA binding leads to the stabilization of a homodimerization interface, which encompasses residues located on helix α2 and the βC-βD loop as well as residues on strands βI-βA and the βH-βI loop. Critically, this rigidification also affects CRABP2's nuclear localization signal and RAR-binding motif, suggesting that the loss of conformational entropy upon atRA binding may be the key for the diverse cellular functions of CRABP2.
A rigid poly(amidehydrazide): Morphology and mechanical behavior (1999)

A wholly aromatic all-para oriented poly(amidehydrazide) has been prepared from N,N′-bis(4-aminobenzoyl)hydrazine and terephthaloyl dichloride by solution polycondensation. Films of the polymer were prepared by two processes, viz. a wet and a dry process, by using its solution in N,N-dimethylacetamide/LiCl. Optical anisotropy, surface morphology and tensile properties of the films were studied. Polarizing optical microscopic study reveals that the films prepared by the dry process have more pronounced birefringent characteristics and greater nematic order than the films prepared by the wet process. The birefringent characteristics in the films become more and more prominent with increase in polymer inherent viscosity. Scanning electron microscopic study reveals that when the LiCl content in the polymer solution used for the film casting is low (1 wt.-%), the corresponding films, prepared either by the wet or by the dry process, have smooth surfaces. But when the LiCl content is high (>1 wt.-%), only the wet process produces films with smooth surface, whereas there are microvoids on the surface of the films prepared by the dry process. Regarding the tensile study, in general, the films prepared by the dry process have higher strength and modulus, but lower elongation than the films prepared by the wet process due to a greater extent of retention of orientation in the films prepared by the dry process. The strength and modulus of the films are found to increase with increase in the polymer inherent viscosity. Ein vollaromatisches, gänzlich para-orientiertes Poly(amidhydrazid) wurde durch Lösungspolykondensation von N,N′-Bis(4-aminobenzoyl)hydrazin mit Terephthaloyldichlorid hergestellt. Daraus wurden nach einem Trocken- und einem Naßverfahren Filme aus Lösungen des Polymeren in N,N-Dimethylacetamid/LiCl hergestellt. Die optische Anisotropie, Oberfächenmorphologie und Zugeigenschaften der Filme wurden untersucht. Mittels optischer Polarisationsmikroskopie wurde festgestellt, daß die im Trockenverfahren hergestellten Filme stärker doppelbrechend sind und eine größere nematische Orientierung besitzen als die im Naßverfahren hergestellten Filme. Mit zunehmender Grenzviskosität der Polymeren werden die Doppelbrechungseigenschaften ausgeprägter. Rasterelektronenmikroskop-Aufnahmen zeigen, daß bei geringer LiCl-Konzentration (1 Gew.-%) in der zum Filmgießen verwendeten Polymerlösung sowohl im Naß- als auch im Trockenverfahren. Filme mit glatter Oberfäche gebildet werden. Bei hoher LiCl-Konzentration (>1 Gew.-%) entstehen Filme mit glatter Oberfläche nur im Naßverfahren, wogegen im Trockenverfahren hergestellte Filme Mikrolunker an der Oberfläche aufweisen. Die im Trockenverfahren hergestellten Filme besitzen wegen ihres höheren Orientierungsgrades eine höhere Festigkeit und einen höheren Elastizitätsmodul als die im Naßverfahren hergestellten Filme, allerdings bei geringerer Bruchdehnung. Mit zunehmender Grenzviskosität nehmen Festigkeit und Modul zu.
