Intrusion detection in RFID systems (2008)

In recent years, advances in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has led to their widespread adoption in diverse applications such as object identification, access authorization, environmental monitoring and supply chain management. Although the increased proliferation of tags enables new applications, they also raise many unique and potentially serious security and privacy concerns. Security solutions in RFID systems need to be strengthened to ensure information integrity and to prevent hackers from exploiting the sensitive tag data. In this paper, we address the importance of intrusion detection security paradigm for RFID systems. We present an overview of state of the art in RFID security and investigate the limitations of traditional security solutions based on cryptographic primitives and protocols. We propose an RFID intrusion detection model that integrates information from RFID reader layer and middleware layer to detect anomalous behavior in the network, thus improving their resilience to security attacks.
Site-Specific Labelling of Multidomain Proteins by Amber Codon Suppression (2018)

Abstract Amber codon suppression is a powerful tool to site-specifically modify proteins to generate novel biophysical probes. Yet, its application on large and complex multidomain proteins is challenging, leading to difficulties during structural and conformational characterization using spectroscopic methods. The animal fatty acid synthase type I is a 540 kDa homodimer displaying large conformational variability. As the key enzyme of de novo fatty acid synthesis, it attracts interest in the fields of obesity, diabetes and cancer treatment. Substrates and intermediates remain covalently bound to the enzyme during biosynthesis and are shuttled to all catalytic domains by the acyl carrier protein domain. Thus, conformational variability of animal FAS is an essential aspect for fatty acid biosynthesis. We investigate this multidomain protein as a model system for probing amber codon suppression by genetic encoding of non-canonical amino acids. The systematic approach relies on a microplate-based reporter assay of low complexity, that was used for quick screening of suppression conditions. Furthermore, the applicability of the reporter assay is demonstrated by successful upscaling to both full-length constructs and increased expression scale. The obtained fluorescent probes of murine FAS type I could be subjected readily to a conformational analysis using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
Trends in Mortality Due to Legal Intervention in the United States, 1979 Through 1997 (2002)

While legal intervention is an uncommon cause of death, some subpopulations experience rates of death many times that of the US population as a whole.
Hematopoietic cell transplantation with autologous cord blood in patients with severe aplastic anemia: An opportunity to revisit the controversy regarding cord blood banking for private use (2011)

The controversy surrounding private banking of umbilical cord blood units (CBU), as a safeguard against future malignancy or other life-threatening conditions, raises many questions in pediatric clinical practice. Recent favorable experiences with autologous transplantation for severe aplastic anemia using privately stored CBU, suggested a possible utility. While private banking is difficult to justify statistically or empirically, there may exist rare cases where autologous transplant of stored umbilical CBU could be beneficial. The reality of privately banked CBU and the possibility for future discovery of additional indications for autologous cord blood transplant, motivated us to re-examine our attitudes towards private cord blood banking.
Mobile Arthropod Pests: Management in Diversified Agroecosystems (1985)

It is widdy recognized that arthropod populations are spatially dynamic (Southwood 1962, Johnson 1969, Taylor 1973, Taylor et al. 1978, Kennedy and Way 1979, Stinner et al. 1983). Many serious agricultural pests move freely over large areas and between crops, and, consequently, the spatial aspects of population change can play a major role in the timing and intensity of pest outbreaks on certain crops (Johnson 1969, Reynolds et al. 1975, Joyce 1976, Taylor 1977, Henneberry 1978, van Steenwyk 1978). In unvoiced recognition of the importance of the spatial component in the life systems (sensu Clark et al. 1967) of various arthropods and their relationship to pest potential, the concepts of trap cropping and crop rotation have long been used successfully as means of ameliorating pest problems. Taylor's (1977) study of the spatial dynamics of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) graphically illustrates the spatial component in the population dynamics of this major agricultural pest, and emphasizes the importance of considering both temporal processes and spatial distribution.
La cuisson par induction (1994)

Après une première apparition dans les années 80, la cuisson par induction a entrepris un nouveau développement grâce à la mise au point simultanée de nouvelles technologies électroniques de régulation de puissance et de matériaux de base. Dans cette technique de chauffage, c’est le fond des récipients culinaires qui devient le générateur de chaleur en transformant par effet Joule les courants induits en calories.Les matériaux ferro-magnétiques sont seuls utilisables. Les aciers inoxydables ferritiques et les matériaux polymétalliques apparaissent particulièrement bien adaptés à cette technique de cuisson. L’article rend compte des études du comportement et des variations de propriétés magnétiques de ces matériaux en fonction de l’intensité des champs magnétiques et des températures d’emploi.
Synthesis and Characterization of 1,4‐Dimethyl‐5‐Aminotetrazolium 5‐Nitrotetrazolate (2006)

Abstract 1,4‐Dimethyl‐5‐aminotetrazolium 5‐nitrotetrazolate ( 2 ) was synthesized in high yield from 1,4‐dimethyl‐5‐aminotetrazolium iodide ( 1 ) and silver 5‐nitrotetrazolate. Both new compounds ( 1, 2 ) were characterized using vibrational (IR and Raman) and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy ( 1 H, 13 C, 14 N, 15 N), elemental analysis and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. 1,4‐Dimethyl‐5‐aminotetrazolium 5‐nitrotetrazolate ( 2 ) represents the first example of an energetic material which contains both a tetrazole based cation and anion. Compound 2 is hydrolytically stable with a high melting point of 190 °C (decomposition). The impact sensitivity of compound 2 is very low (30 J), it is not sensitive towards friction (&gt;360 N). The molecular structure of 1,4‐dimethyl‐5‐aminotetrazolium iodide ( 1 ) in the crystalline state was determined by X‐ray crystallography: orthorhombic, F ddd , a =1.3718(1) nm, b =1.4486(1) nm, c =1.6281(1) nm, V =3.2354(5) nm 3 , Z =16, ρ=1.979 g cm −1 , R 1 =0.0169 ( F &gt;4σ( F )), wR 2 (all data)=0.0352.
Encrypted Single Pixel Imaging with Basis Illumination Patterns (2018)

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Various Blast Loading Descriptors as Occupant Injury Predictors for Underbody Blast Events (2013)

&lt;title&gt;ABSTRACT&lt;/title&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is of considerable interest to developers of military vehicles, in early phases of the concept design process as well as in Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), to quickly predict occupant injury risk due to under body blast loading. The most common occupant injuries in these extremely short duration events arise out of the very high vertical acceleration of vehicle due to its close proximity to hot high pressure gases from the blast. The primary objectives of this paper are to conduct an extensive parametric study in a systematic manner so as (1) to determine if a single blast loading parameter is sufficient to adequately characterize the occupant injury, at least for the duration of typical blast events (0-20ms) and (2) to create look-up tables and/or an automated software tool that decision-makers can use to quickly estimate the different injury responses for both stroking and non-stroking seat systems in terms of such a parameter.&lt;/p&gt;
Scavenge Ports Ooptimization of a 2-Stroke Opposed Piston Diesel Engine (2017)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;This work reports a CFD study on a 2-stroke (2-S) opposed piston high speed direct injection (HSDI) Diesel engine. The engine main features (bore, stroke, port timings, et cetera) are defined in a previous stage of the project, while the current analysis is focused on the assembly made up of scavenge ports, manifold and cylinder. The first step of the study consists in the construction of a parametric mesh on a simplified geometry. Two geometric parameters and three different operating conditions are considered. A CFD-3D simulation by using a customized version of the KIVA-4 code is performed on a set of 243 different cases, sweeping all the most interesting combinations of geometric parameters and operating conditions. The post-processing of this huge amount of data allow us to define the most effective geometric configuration, named baseline.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;In the second step of the study, the baseline is further optimized, keeping into account some fundamental design constraints, such as the overall dimensions of the manifold. The evolved geometry is then simulated by using KIVA, adopting a refined grid and realistic boundary conditions. The paper presents the calculated scavenging patterns, offering a detailed insight of the process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Finally, the influence of the offset between the crankshafts is analyzed, by using a calibrated CFD-1D engine model.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Epigenetic reprogramming in mammals (2005)

Epigenetic marking systems confer stability of gene expression during mammalian development. Genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming occurs at stages when developmental potency of cells changes. At fertilization, the paternal genome exchanges protamines for histones, undergoes DNA demethylation, and acquires histone modifications, whereas the maternal genome appears epigenetically more static. During preimplantation development, there is passive DNA demethylation and further reorganization of histone modifications. In blastocysts, embryonic and extraembryonic lineages first show different epigenetic marks. This epigenetic reprogramming is likely to be needed for totipotency, correct initiation of embryonic gene expression, and early lineage development in the embryo. Comparative work demonstrates reprogramming in all mammalian species analysed, but the extent and timing varies, consistent with notable differences between species during preimplantation development. Parental imprinting marks originate in sperm and oocytes and are generally protected from this genome-wide reprogramming. Early primordial germ cells possess imprinting marks similar to those of somatic cells. However, rapid DNA demethylation after midgestation erases these parental imprints, in preparation for sex-specific de novo methylation during gametogenesis. Aberrant reprogramming of somatic epigenetic marks after somatic cell nuclear transfer leads to epigenetic defects in cloned embryos and stem cells. Links between epigenetic marking systems appear to be developmentally regulated contributing to plasticity. A number of activities that confer epigenetic marks are firmly established, while for those that remove marks, particularly methylation, some interesting candidates have emerged recently which need thorough testing in vivo. A mechanistic understanding of reprogramming will be crucial for medical applications of stem cell technology.
Abstract 5043: Effects of a novel PI3 kinase/mTOR inhibitor on proliferation and pAKT signaling in canine lymphoma (2010)

Abstract PF-04691503 is a dual inhibitor of both PI3K and mTOR, inhibits PI3K signaling in cancer cell lines, and exhibits in vitro and in vivo anti-proliferative activity in PI3K-pathway driven cell lines. It is a nanomolar inhibitor of all 4 isoforms of the catalytic subunit of PI3K and of both TORC1 and TORC2. Anti-cancer activity of the inhibitor is hypothesized to be through inhibition of survival, proliferative, and anti-apoptotic processes. Phosphorylation of the protein kinase, Akt, is associated with activation of the phosphatidyl 3-kinase (PI-3K)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, which plays a role in cell proliferation (Witzig and Kaufmann 2006). Recent studies by Gulmann et al (2005) showed increased pAKT in human lymphoma samples, and those of Rassidakis et al (2005) suggested that inhibition of Akt phosphorylation (pAKT) may be of value in the treatment of lymphoma. Using flow cytometry we report that cells obtained from 10 of 11 lymph node biopsies of dogs with lymphoma exhibit detectable pAKT using a phospho-Akt (Ser473) antibody, compared to an IgG isotype control or a competative phospho-Akt (Ser473) blocking peptide. Cells from normal canine lymph nodes do not exhibit detectable pAKT. The majority of the pAKT signal was generated from lymphoblasts present in the malignant, but not in the normal, lymph nodes. In separate studies, lymph node cells obtained from healthy dogs and dogs with lymphoma were stimulated in vitro with the mitogen, Con A. The novel PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor, PF-04691503, produced dose dependent inhibition of proliferation as exemplified in a dog with T-cell lymphoma (EC50 = 18 nM)) and in a normal dog (EC50 = 53 nM)). No pAKT signal could be detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, from normal or lymphoma patients stimulated with hu-IGF-1 (the endogenous ligand for PI3), Con-A or LPS. These data suggest that PI-3 kinase and pAKT (1) are activated in canine lymphoma, (2) play a role in the lymphoproliferation associated with this disease, (3) represent legitimate targets for therapeutic intervention in lymphoma, and (4) can be studied ‘translationally’ in dogs as a model for humans.

A versatile data string-search VLSI (1988)

A versatile data string-search VLSI has been fabricated using 1.6- mu m CMOS technology. The VLSI consists of an 8 K content addressable memory (CAM) and a 20 K-gate finite-state automation logic (FSAL). A number of unique functions, such as strict/approximate-match string search and fixed/variable-length 'don't care' operations, were implemented. A total of 217600 transistors have been integrated on an 8.62*12.76-mm die. The unique functions were efficiency tested by the scan path method. The data comparison rate was 5.12 billion characters/s in text-search application.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Force feedback joystick control of a powered wheelchair: preliminary study (2005)

An evaluation of a force feedback joystick for a powered wheelchair is performed. Our aim is to determine if the force feedback joystick enhances the driving performance of persons with severe disabilities. A Microsoft/spl reg/ Sidewinder/spl trade/ force feedback joystick 2 is used with a computer simulation system for the evaluation phase of the study. The factor used to determine the feedback force of the joystick is the displacement vectors of sixteen sensors to the nearest obstacles. The preliminary results on persons without disability show that there is fewer collisions when the force feedback algorithm is activated compared to their performance when the algorithm is not activated. All test subjects agreed that when the force feedback algorithm is activated, the wheelchair guidance is easier in corridor displacement. Moreover, some subjects found it easier for door crossing.

Mono(amidinate) Yttrium Alkyl Complexes: The Effect of Ligand Variation on Ethene Polymerization Catalysis (2006)

Abstract Yttrium dialkyl complexes were prepared for three different 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl‐substituted benzamidinate ligands. The electron‐donating ability of the parent ligand ( L1 ) was decreased by a pentafluorophenyl backbone substituent ( L2 ), and enhanced by addition of a pendant Lewis base ( L3 ). The corresponding cationic monoalkyl species were generated and compared in catalytic ethene polymerization.
KINETICS AND MECHANISMS OF NOx - CHAR REDUCTION (1998)

This study was undertaken in order to improve understanding of several aspects of the NO-carbon reaction. This reaction is of practical importance in combustion systems, but its close examination also provides some fundamental insight into oxidizing gas-carbon reactions. As part of this study, a comprehensive literature review of earlier work on this reaction has been published (Aarna and Suuberg, Fuel, 1997, 76, 475-491). It has been thought for some time that the kinetics of the NO-carbon reaction are unusual, in that they often show a two-regime Arrhenius behavior. It has, however, turned out during this work that NO is not alone in this regard. In this laboratory, we also uncovered evidence of two kinetic regime behavior in CO{sub 2} gasification. In another laboratory, a former colleague has identified the same behavior in N{sub 2}O. The low temperature reaction regime always shows an activation energy which is lower than that in the high temperature regime, leaving little doubt that a shift in mechanism, as opposed to transport limitations, dictates the behavior. The activation energy of the low temperature regime of these reactions is typically less than 100 kJ/mol, and the activation energy of the high temperature regime is generally considerably in excess of this value. In this study, we have resolved some apparent inconsistencies in the explanation of the low temperature regime, whose rate has generally been ascribed to desorption-controlled processes. Part of the problem in characterization of the different temperature regimes is that they overlap to a high degree. It is difficult to probe the low temperature regime experimentally, because of slow relaxation of the surface oxides in that regime. Using careful experimental techniques, we were able to demonstrate that the low temperature regime is indeed characterized by zero order in NO, as it must be. A separate study is being carried out to model the behavior in this regime in NO and in other gases, and the results will be presented shortly.
Differential Expression of Interleukin-8 by Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes of Two Closely Related Species,Ovis canadensisandOvis aries, in Response toMannheimia haemolyticaInfection (2010)

The pneumonic lesions and mortality caused by Mannheimia haemolytica in bighorn sheep (BHS; Ovis canadensis) are more severe than those in the related species, domestic sheep (DS; Ovis aries), under both natural and experimental conditions. Leukotoxin (Lkt) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are the most important virulence factors of this organism. One hallmark of pathogenesis of pneumonia is the influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) into the lungs. Lkt-induced cytolysis of PMNs results in the release of cytotoxic compounds capable of damaging lung tissue. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a potent PMN chemoattractant. The objective of the present study was to determine if there is differential expression of IL-8 by the macrophages and PMNs of BHS and DS in response to M. haemolytica. Macrophages and PMNs of BHS and DS were stimulated with heat-killed M. haemolytica or LPS. IL-8 expression by the cells was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The PMNs of BHS expressed severalfold higher levels of IL-8 than those of DS upon stimulation. Lesional lung tissue of M. haemolytica-infected BHS contained significantly higher levels of IL-8 than nonlesional tissue. The bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid of infected BHS also contained higher levels of IL-8 than that of infected DS. Depletion of IL-8 reduced migration of PMNs toward BAL fluid by approximately 50%, indicating that IL-8 is integral to PMN recruitment to the lung during M. haemolytica infection. Excessive production of IL-8, enhanced recruitment of PMNs, and PMN lysis by Lkt are likely responsible for the severity of the lung lesions in M. haemolytica-infected BHS.

A Multilayer Data Copy Test Data Compression Scheme for Reducing Shifting-in Power for Multiple Scan Design (2007)

The random-like filling strategy pursuing high compression for today's popular test compression schemes introduces large test power. To achieve high compression in conjunction with reducing test power for multiple-scan-chain designs is even harder and very few works were dedicated to solve this problem. This paper proposes and demonstrates a multilayer data copy (MDC) scheme for test compression as well as test power reduction for multiple-scan-chain designs. The scheme utilizes a decoding buffer, which supports fast loading using previous loaded data, to achieve test data compression and test power reduction at the same time. The scheme can be applied automatic test pattern generation (ATPG)-independently or to be incorporated in an ATPG to generate highly compressible and power efficient test sets. Experiment results on benchmarks show that test sets generated by the scheme had large compression and power saving with only a small area design overhead.
Adaptivity is exponentially powerful for testing monotonicity of halfspaces (2017)

We give a $\mathrm{poly}(\log n, 1/ε)$-query adaptive algorithm for testing whether an unknown Boolean function $f: \{-1,1\}^n \to \{-1,1\}$, which is promised to be a halfspace, is monotone versus $ε$-far from monotone. Since non-adaptive algorithms are known to require almost $Ω(n^{1/2})$ queries to test whether an unknown halfspace is monotone versus far from monotone, this shows that adaptivity enables an exponential improvement in the query complexity of monotonicity testing for halfspaces.
