Approximate real-time decision making: Concepts and rough fuzzy Petri net models (1999)

This paper considers the construction of Petri nets to simulate the computation performed by decision systems. Algorithms are given to construct Petri nets which correspond to decision rules, information systems, and real-time decision systems. Rough as well as rough fuzzy Petri net extensions of colored and generalized fuzzy Petri nets are used to create highly parallel programs to simulate reasoning system computations. Constructed nets make it possible to evaluate the design of decision system tables, and to trace computations in rules derived from decision tables. Start places of nets are connected to Dill process receptors which await input from the environment. Time consumption during the propagation of outputs from sensors in a decision system is monitored with timers called approximate time windows, which measure durations between firings of decision transitions relative to time granules with names such as early, ontime, and late. Guards on decision transitions are propositional functions which permit a rule to fire for some sensor values and not for others. In addition, the design of guards makes allowance for multivalued logic, where conditional sensor readings are assessed in terms of their degree of membership in sensor measurement granules. In some cases, a rule can fire if the degree of truth of its guard (premise) is above some threshold. Through simulation, designers can arrive at reasonable estimates of the period of timers on decision transitions. The approach to simulating computations by decision systems presented in this paper results in fast, massively parallel programs implementable on a multiprocessor. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Clinical evaluation of the Welch Allyn SureBP algorithm for automated blood pressure measurement (2007)

The SureBP inflation-based algorithm successfully passed the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation standard requirements and achieved an AA rating by British Hypertension Society data analysis. The monitor has great advantages for patient comfort and speed of readings (average 15 s per reading). As the population studied was skewed by including a much larger than needed number of patients with hypertension, clinicians can have added confidence in this new technology.

Effect of cerebrocrast on body and organ weights, food and water intake, and urine output of normal rats (2008)

Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperphagia, polyuria, body weight gain, excessive secretion of glucocorticoids (GCs), thymus involution, adrenal gland hypertrophy, diabetic nephropathy, etc. We examined the effect of cerebrocrast, a new antidiabetic agent (synthesized in the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis), on body weight, food and water intake, urine output, and on changes of organ weight: that is, kidney, thymus, adrenal gland of normal rats. Cerebrocrast was administered at doses of 0.05 and 0.5 mg kg(-1) per os (p.o.) once a day for three consecutive days, and its effects were observed from 3 to 27 days after the last administration. Cerebrocrast, during the experimental period, decreased body weight by an average of approximately 32.3%, food intake by about 10-15% at the beginning of the experiments and by 22.6% at the end of the experiments, especially at a dose of 0.5 mg kg(-1). Water intake and urine output in comparison with controls were decreased. The daily food intake decreased about 1.0 and 2.1 g by administering single cerebrocrast doses of 0.05 and 0.5 mg kg(-1) body weight (b.w.), respectively, but by administering for three consecutive days, food intake decreased by about 2.2 and 3.4 g, respectively. The weekly body weight gain decreased by administering a single dose of cerebrocrast by 2.61 and 2.51 g, respectively, and by triple administration it decreased by 4.36 and 3.07 g, respectively. Cerebrocrast has long-lasting effects on these parameters and on thymus and adrenal gland weight. As cerebrocrast decreased glucose levels in normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, it also promoted glucose uptake by the brain, intensified insulin action and formation de novo of insulin receptors. We can conclude that cerebrocrast may regulate food intake and body weight through glucose sensing by proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, that are involved in control of glucose homeostasis, stimulation of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) secretion, activation of MC4-Rs and inhibition of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the ARC of the hypothalamus, affecting the kidney, and causing decreased urine output and water intake. Moreover, it could stimulate secretion of vasopressin. By administration of cerebrocrast thymus mass was increased, thereby preventing the action of GCs. As cerebrocrast inhibited L- and T-type calcium channels, it can prevent vasoconstriction of kidney arterioles and aldosterone secretion that have significant roles in the development of hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. These properties of cerebrocrast are important for treatment of Type 2 diabetes and its consequent development of hypertension and diabetic nephropathy.
Lazy cache invalidation for self-modifying codes (2012)

Just-in-time compilation with dynamic code optimization is often used to help improve the performance of applications that utilize high-level languages and virtual run-time environments, such as those found in smartphones. Just-in-time compilation introduces additional overhead into the instruction fetch stage of a processor that is particularly problematic for user applications-instruction cache invalidation due to the use of self-modifying code. This software-assisted cache coherence serializes cache line invalidations, or causes a costly invalidation of the entire instruction cache, and prevents useful instructions from being fetched for the period during which the stale instructions are being invalidated. This overhead is not acceptable for user applications, which are expected to respond quickly.

Towards a Cognitive Multi-agent System for Building Control (2016)

Fitting a bionically inspired cognitive model to a technical application domain is a challenging task. This work presents the fundamental steps in applying the SiMA-based cognitive model ECABA to the domain of building automation. The focus of the paper is to show the initial steps and challenges for implementing the human inspired mechanisms of drives and social rules when modeling a cognitive control system for a non-human body. We then illustrate the flexibility and extensibility of the intended distributed cognitive approach by presenting the iterative development of a simple reactive system with interacting components. Using a simple use case, we show how the cognitive processes can be implemented and utilized in a multi-agent system to provide a first, reactivity-based control system.
A cell wall reference profile for Miscanthus bioenergy crops highlights compositional and structural variations associated with development and organ origin (2016)

Miscanthus spp. are promising lignocellulosic energy crops, but cell wall recalcitrance to deconstruction still hinders their widespread use as bioenergy and biomaterial feedstocks. Identification of cell wall characteristics desirable for biorefining applications is crucial for lignocellulosic biomass improvement. However, the task of scoring biomass quality is often complicated by the lack of a reference for a given feedstock. A multidimensional cell wall analysis was performed to generate a reference profile for leaf and stem biomass from several miscanthus genotypes harvested at three developmentally distinct time points. A comprehensive suite of 155 monoclonal antibodies was used to monitor changes in distribution, structure and extractability of noncellulosic cell wall matrix glycans. Glycan microarrays complemented with immunohistochemistry elucidated the nature of compositional variation, and in situ distribution of carbohydrate epitopes. Key observations demonstrated that there are crucial differences in miscanthus cell wall glycomes, which may impact biomass amenability to deconstruction. For the first time, variations in miscanthus cell wall glycan components were comprehensively characterized across different harvests, organs and genotypes, to generate a representative reference profile for miscanthus cell wall biomass. Ultimately, this portrait of the miscanthus cell wall will help to steer breeding and genetic engineering strategies for the development of superior energy crops.
Abstract 12721: Acute, High Dose Metformin at Reperfusion Decreases Infarct Size in the High-Risk Aging Heart (2022)

Introduction: Elderly patients (age &gt; 75) sustain larger infarcts with greater mortality from STEMI despite successful TIMI III reperfusion. Elderly age is an independent risk despite correction for clinical and angiographic variables. Mitochondria (MITO) are key mediators of injury during ischemia (ISC) and reperfusion (R) in lab studies. The acute, transient blockade of the MITO electron transport chain (ETC) at complex I during R decreases infarct size in adult heart models. Metformin (MET) inhibits ETC complex I. Hypothesis: Acute, high dose MET given at R in high-risk aged STEMI model hearts will reduce infarct size. Methods: Young (3-6 mo) and aged (22-24 mo) C57BL/6J mice, male and female (NIA), underwent in vivo ISC-R surgery via 45 min LAD ligation. At 5 min pre-R, 2 mM MET (or vehicle) was injected via jugular vein. At 24-hr R infarction size and area at risk (AAR) were measured. Echo was performed pre-ISC and end-R. Results: MET treatment at R improved contractile function [ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS)] following 24 hr R in both male and female aged groups as well as in the young heart (Figure A)(mean ± SD). MET at R substantially decreased infarct size in both sexes in the aged heart (Figure B) to a similar extent as in the young hearts. AAR was similar in all groups. Conclusions: Acute, high dose MET treatment directly before R decreased infarction and improved contractile function at 24 hr R in aged murine hearts. This is the initial step to move acute MET toward consideration as a cath lab treatment via intracoronary infusion immediately following R via PCI for elders suffering STEMI to reduce injury and preserve function.
In Flight Calibration of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission Fast Plasma Investigation (2015)

The Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) on the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission (MMS) combines data from eight spectrometers, each with four deflection states, into a single map of the sky. Any systematic discontinuity, artifact, noise source, etc. present in this map may be incorrectly interpreted as legitimate data and incorrect conclusions reached. For this reason it is desirable to have all spectrometers return the same output for a given input, and for this output to be low in noise sources or other errors. While many missions use statistical analyses of data to calibrate instruments in flight, this process is insufficient with FPI for two reasons: 1. Only a small fraction of high resolution data is downloaded to the ground due to bandwidth limitations and 2: The data that is downloaded is, by definition, scientifically interesting and therefore not ideal for calibration. FPI uses a suite of new tools to calibrate in flight. A new method for detection system ground calibration has been developed involving sweeping the detection threshold to fully define the pulse height distribution. This method has now been extended for use in flight as a means to calibrate MCP voltage and threshold (together forming the operating point) of the Dual Electron Spectrometers (DES) and Dual Ion Spectrometers (DIS). A method of comparing higher energy data (which has low fractional voltage error) to lower energy data (which has a higher fractional voltage error) will be used to calibrate the high voltage outputs. Finally, a comparison of pitch angle distributions will be used to find remaining discrepancies among sensors.
Hollow target for efficient generation of fast ions by ultrashort laser pulses (2016)

The efficiency of ion acceleration driven by high-power femtosecond laser pulses strongly depends on the target thickness and on the absorption of laser pulse energy into the ionized solid target. Enhanced absorption has been demonstrated for targets with submicrometer structures deposited on their front surface. However, increasing the overall thickness of the target by adding the layer with structures is undesirable. Here, microstructured hollow targets are proposed to enhance the absorption of the laser pulse energy while keeping the target thickness to minimum. It is demonstrated by full 3D particle-in-cell simulations that the efficiency of proton acceleration from hollow targets substantially exceeds the efficiency of the acceleration from flat foils of the same thickness. The fabrication of an ultrathin hollow target (prototype) by focused ion beam milling is also described.

Abstract 305: EphB4 and EphrinB2 regulates ovarian cancer progression (2011)

Abstract EphB4 belongs to the Eph Receptor Tyrosine Kinase family. EphB4 regulates angiogenesis, neuron migration and breast morphogenesis. Overexpression of EphB4 has been observed in numerous cancer types, including breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. How EphB4 regulates cancer progression is still largely unknown. EphrinB2 is the unique ligand for EphB4. EphrinB2 triggers phosphorylation, activation and down-regulation of EphB4. We analyzed various ovarian cancer cell lines and patient derived xenograft samples by in vitro and in vivo assays including siRNA knockdown and gene expression profiling. A large portion of ovarian cancer models express both EphB4 and ephrinB2. SiRNA targeting of EphB4 induced growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis in several cell lines. Serous ovarian carcinoma cell line, Ovcar-3 which expresses both EphB4 and ephrinB2 was most sensitive to siRNA targeting. Non ephrinB2 expressing cell lines were less sensitive suggesting that sensitivity to EphB4 siRNA targeting is not only dependent on the levels of EphB4 but also the status of ephrinB2. Gene expression profiling studies showed that EphB4 is implicated in signaling transduction, cell attachment and growth. Currently, we are examining how ephrinB2 expression modulates EphB4 signaling and the down-stream effectors of EphB4 signaling pathway. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

ALTMET Polymerization of Amino Acid-Based Monomers Targeting Controlled Drug Release (2016)

Giving the imminent necessity of a new generation of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers prepared from feedstock, the synthesis of a potentially biodegradable amino acid-based copolymer by the alternating diene metathesis (ALTMET) strategy is herein presented. The reaction was tailored to minimize isomerization and deactivation of ruthenium catalysts by intramolecular coordination with the amide carbonyl group of the amino-acid-based monomer. Alternated l-lysine–phosphoester copolymers with molar masses higher than 18 000 g/mol were obtained using Hoveyda–Grubbs second-generation and Umicore M2 catalysts. The copolymer was further used to prepare nanoparticles loaded with rifampicin (up to 50 wt %) by the miniemulsion/solvent evaporation technique. The l-lysine-based copolymer is shown to be a promising material for biomedical applications, such as controlled drug delivery system.

A self-healing dielectric elastomer actuator (2014)

Dielectric elastomer actuators that can provide muscle-like actuation are unable to self-heal like real muscle tissue. This severely limits dielectric elastomer reliability and robustness. This paper describes a way to instill self-healing into the DE by using a two-phase dielectric consisting of an open-cell silicone sponge saturated with silicone oil. When the dielectric is breached, the oil is able to flow back into any void, re-establishing the dielectric structure. The sponge holds the oil in place and provides dimensional stability, while the oil ensures the integrity of the dielectric layer. The operation of this has been demonstrated in a prototype DE actuator that continued to function despite being perforated multiple times with a sharp object.
