Moving human full body and body parts detection, tracking, and applications on human activity estimation, walking pattern and face recognition (2016)

We have developed a new way for detection and tracking of human full-body and body-parts with color (intensity) patch morphological segmentation and adaptive thresholding for security surveillance cameras. An adaptive threshold scheme has been developed for dealing with body size changes, illumination condition changes, and cross camera parameter changes. Tests with the PETS 2009 and 2014 datasets show that we can obtain high probability of detection and low probability of false alarm for full-body. Test results indicate that our human full-body detection method can considerably outperform the current state-of-the-art methods in both detection performance and computational complexity. Furthermore, in this paper, we have developed several methods using color features for detection and tracking of human body-parts (arms, legs, torso, and head, etc.). For example, we have developed a human skin color sub-patch segmentation algorithm by first conducting a RGB to YIQ transformation and then applying a Subtractive I/Q image Fusion with morphological operations. With this method, we can reliably detect and track human skin color related body-parts such as face, neck, arms, and legs. Reliable body-parts (e.g. head) detection allows us to continuously track the individual person even in the case that multiple closely spaced persons are merged. Accordingly, we have developed a new algorithm to split a merged detection blob back to individual detections based on the detected head positions. Detected body-parts also allow us to extract important local constellation features of the body-parts positions and angles related to the full-body. These features are useful for human walking gait pattern recognition and human pose (e.g. standing or falling down) estimation for potential abnormal behavior and accidental event detection, as evidenced with our experimental tests. Furthermore, based on the reliable head (face) tacking, we have applied a super-resolution algorithm to enhance the face resolution for improved human face recognition performance.
Compared Antitumor Activity of GA101 and Rituximab against the Human RL Follicular Lymphoma Xenografts in SCID Beige Mice. (2008)

Abstract GA101 is a third generation, glycoengineered type II IgG1 anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (Mab) with enhanced ADCC and superior caspase-independent apoptosis induction in comparison to other anti-CD20 antibodies, including rituximab which is a type I antibody. We compared the antitumor efficacy of GA101 and rituximab in established RL human lymphoma xenografts in SCID beige mice. One million exponentially growing RL cells were injected SC, yielding fast growing xenografts. GA101 was given twice weekly at 3 dosages (10, 30 and 100 mg/kg), whereas Rituximab was given at fixed dose of 30 mg/kg twice weekly. Both Mabs were administered as intravenous injections, for a total of 5 injections. GA101 was dose-related active against RL xenografts in terms of tumor growth inhibition (TGI). TGI was calculated using NCI formula and showed values of 25, 75 and 85% for the 10, 30 and 100 mg/kg dosages of GA101 respectively while the 30 mg/kg dose of rituximab induced a TGI of 43% only. Both higher doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg significantly inhibited the growth of RL tumors and resulted in some complete tumor remissions (10–30 %). The antitumor activity of Rituximab against RL xenografts was inferior to equivalent dosing of GA101. Toxicity of GA101 with these regimens was excellent with no toxic deaths and no significant modification of body weight. In a separate series of experiments rituximab 30 mg/kg and GA101 30 mg/kg administered once weekly i.v. for 4 weeks were combined or not to cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg administered once weekly intraperitoneally for 4 weeks. This study confirmed the previous observation that the new anti CD20 GA101 was more active than rituximab administered at similar doses on established RL tumors. TGI values were 79, 35% and 93% for GA101, rituximab and cyclophosphamide administered as single agents when compared to untreated controls. When groups receiving combined therapy were compared to the groups receiving the corresponding single agent Mab, cyclophosphamide increased antitumor efficacy with TGI values of 83 and 94% for rituximab and GA101, respectively. Thus using a suboptimal dose of the classical antilymphoma alkylating agent cyclophosphamide, the combination of either antibody with cyclophosphamide was more active than either agent alone, and the most active combination was GA101 with cyclophosphamide. These results show that GA101 is more active than rituximab on RL xenografts at similar doses, both administered as a single agent or in combination with cyclophosphamide. In the SCID mice model it is not expected that a major contribution to antitumor efficacy comes from the interaction of glycoengineered Mab with murine FcgRIV receptors. Complementary experiments with cobra venom factor, which is used for in vivo complement inhibition, suggest that rituximab antitumor effect was strongly dependent on complement dependent cytotoxicity while GA101 remained active when complement was depleted.

Cellulite treatment using a novel combination radiofrequency, infrared light, and mechanical tissue manipulation device (2005)

Cellulite can be significantly and safely reduced with the use of a noninvasive device that combines bipolar RF, infrared light, and mechanical massage. The effects of treatment appear to be prolonged, but maintenance treatments may be necessary to further enhance the clinical results achieved.
Joint admission control and beamforming with adaptive modulation for cognitive radio network (2012)

This paper considers the spectrum sharing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cognitive radio network, in which single primary user (PU) coexists with multiple secondary users (SUs). Joint beamforming and admission control with adaptive modulation technique is designed to maximize the number of the serviced SUs and the transmit rate of the secondary links while imposing upper limits on the interference temperature to the PU by using the least transmit power. In the proposed cross-layer design, the SINR target is dynamically adapted with channel condition and bit-error rate (BER) requirement, and works as admission control implicitly, that is, the cognitive link is dropped as long as its SINR requirement is equal to zero. With the pre-fixed receiver, the multi-objective optimization problem is NP-hard, which is further transformed into single problem by introducing a utility function. The optimum solutions are achieved via second-order cone programming (SOCP) with an iterative bisection search method. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves desirable spectrum and power efficiency, and the maximum number of the total active SUs are intelligently selected.
Offshore oil spill monitoring and detection: Improving risk management for offshore petroleum cyber-physical systems: (Invited paper) (2017)

Petroleum industry has started to embrace the advanced Petroleum Cyber-Physical System (CPS) technologies. Offshore petroleum CPS is particularly difficult to build, mainly due to the challenge in detecting and preventing offshore oil leaking. During the oil exploration and transportation process, the remote multi-sensing technology is typically used for leak detection, enabling the underwater modeling of an offshore petroleum CPS. However, such a technology suffers from insufficient remote sensing resources and large computational overhead. In this work, a cross entropy optimization based leak detection technique is proposed to detect the oil leak, which also facilitates the understanding of the oil leak induced marine pollution. Experimental results on a real Penglai oil spill event demonstrate that the proposed technique can effectively identify the sources of oil spills with accuracy of up to 90.78%.
Effect of Stoichiometry on the Lifetime and Doping Concentration of Polycrystalline CdTe (2017)

The effect of gas phase Cd/Te deposition ratio on the minority carrier lifetime and doping concentration of polycrystalline cadmium telluride (CdTe) was investigated. CdTe thin films were deposited by the elemental vapor transport (EVT) with various Cd/Te gas phase ratios. The films were fabricated into solar cells, and characterized by current-voltage (JV) and spectral response measurements. The minority carrier lifetime was measured using time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. Capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements indicated a change in doping concentration as a function of gas phase Cd/Te ratio. Films deposited under Te-rich deposition conditions exhibited superior electrical characteristics. Minority carrier lifetimes up to 7 ns and doping concentrations on the order of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">15</sup> cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> were measured for CdCl <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> heat-treated Te-rich deposited films.

Fabrication of electrospun nanofibre yarn based on nylon 6/microencapsulated phase change materials (2016)

Twisted nylon 6 nanofibre yarns containing microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) were fabricated via electrospinning to prepare thermal regulating nanofibre yarns. Electrospun nanofibre yarns with different contents of MPCMs including 0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 wt% were prepared. The surface morphology, crystallisation and thermal properties of the yarn samples were characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. SEM results showed that electrospun composite fibres and yarns had good morphology with smooth surface and the MPCMs were randomly distributed on the composite yarn surface, inside the nanofibres and between the fibres in the yarn structure. Additionally, the SEM results suggested that the average diameters of nylon 6/MPCM nanofibres decreased from 0.23 ± 0.03 µm for neat nylon 6 to a minimum of 0.10 ± 0.02 µm for composite yarn containing 3 wt% MPCM. However, nylon 6/MPCM nanofibre yarn diameter displayed a complex behaviour; the average diameters of electrospun composite yarns increased upon addition of MPCM and reached a maximum value of 165.1 ± 5.11 µm for composite yarn containing 0.75 wt% MPCM, then decreased markedly. These changes in nylon 6/MPCM nanofibres and yarn diameters have been discussed in terms of electrospinning solution properties and twist parameter. The melting enthalpy values of MPCM in the composite nanofibre yarns increased as the content of MPCMs increased up to the highest content and higher than 80% of the heat storage capacity of MPCMs was retained after electrospinning.

Selectively probing vibrations in a plasmonic supracrystal (2012)

The coupling of plasmonic resonances with the multiple phonon modes of a plasmonic supracrystal is studied. Ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy with variable wavelength allows the selective detection of the breathing mode, the interparticle vibrations, and the vibration of the whole structure. Thanks to this selectivity, the characterization of the bonding strength between nanoparticles in different directions of the supracrystal is possible. The observation of these vibrations could be useful for the realization of future phonon modulated photonic and plasmonic devices.
Recent Progress in Using Biomaterials as Vitreous Substitutes (2015)

Vitreous substitutes are crucial adjuncts during vitreo-retinal surgery for retinal diseases such as complicated retinal detachment, macular holes, complications of diabetic retinopathy, and ocular trauma involving posterior segment. In retinal detachment surgery, an internal tamponade agent is required to provide internal pressure for reattachment of the detached neurosensory retina. Current available options serve only as a temporary surgical adduct or short-term solution and are associated with inherent problems. Despite many years of intensive research, an ideal vitreous substitute remains elusive. Indeed, the development of an ideal vitreous substitute requires the concerted efforts of synthetic chemists and biomaterial engineers, as well as ophthalmic surgeons. In this review, we propose that polymeric hydrogels present the future of artificial vitreous substitutes due to its high water composition, optical transparency, and rheological properties that closely mimic the natural vitreous. In particular, thermosensitive smart hydrogels, with reversible sol to gel change, have emerged as the material class with the most potential to succeed as ideal vitreous substitutes, facilitating easy implementation during surgery. Importantly, these smart hydrogels also display potential as efficacious drug delivery systems.
Strained Si, Ge and SiGe alloys modeling with full-zone k.p method optimized from first principle calculation (2006)

The electronic energy band structure of strained and unstrained Si, Ge and SiGe alloys is examined in this work using thirty-level k.p analysis. The energy bands are at first obtained with ab initio calculations based on the Local-Density-Approximation of Density-Functional Theory, including a GW correction and relativistic effects. The so-calculated band structure is then used to extract the unknown k.p fitting parameters with a conjugate-gradient optimization procedure. In a similar manner, the results of ab initio calculations for strained materials are used to fit the unknown deformation potentials that are included in the present k.p Hamiltonian following the Pikus and Bir correction scheme. We show that the present k.p model is an efficient numerical method, as far as computational time is concerned, that reproduces accurately the overall band structure, as well as the bulk effective density of states and the carrier effective masses, for both strained and unstrained materials. As an application, the present thirty-level k.p model is used to describe the band offsets and the variations of the carrier effective masses in a strained material, a Si(1-x)Gex/Si(1-y)Gey layer system.
TDIE Modeling of Carbon Nanotube Dipoles at Microwave and Terahertz Bands (2010)

In this letter, a novel procedure is introduced for the simulation of carbon nanotube (CN) antennas directly in the time domain. This formulation is based on the time-domain electric-field integral equation (TD-EFIE) for thin-wires, including external loads. Appropriate loads have been derived to match the physical response of single-walled CN media to external electromagnetic fields. The results show good agreement with a validated frequency-domain formulation. The time-domain formulation provides physical insight into the well-known characteristic effects of CN dipoles, such as slow-wave propagation and the existence of low-frequency resonances.

Does everyone with inflammatory bowel disease need to be treated with combination therapy? (2016)

Although combination therapy is the treatment of choice in persons with moderate to severe disease or who have lost response to biological monotherapy, there remains a role for monotherapy with immunosuppressive agents. Though the newer biological therapies are mostly not used in combination, this may be a future approach considering their response rates are also correlated with higher drug levels. Many persons with inflammatory bowel disease can remain well on an immunosuppressive agent alone and some can even maintain a longstanding remission off all therapy.
A Study on Vertically Installed Planar (VIP) Combline Bandpass Filters via 3D-FDTD Method (1998)

Herein, we report rGO/Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanocomposites (NCs) free from noble metals, synthesized by facile one step chemical reduction method, for electrochemical detection of arsenite in water by square wave anodic stripping Voltammetry (SWASV). The synthesized NCs were characterized for its optical, morphological and structural properties. The NCs modified glassy carbon (GCE), NCs/GCE, electrodes showed a higher sensitivity (0.281μA/ppb) and lower LOD (0.12ppb) under optimized experimental conditions. The proposed NCs/GCE electrodes show no interference towards arsenite species in the presence of common cationic interferants, namely, Cu(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Cr(II), Zn(II), etc. In addition, the proposed electrode demonstrates a good stability, reproducibility and potential practical application in electrochemical detection of arsenite.
Cardiovascular risk factors cause premature rarefaction of the collateral circulation and greater ischemic tissue injury (2020)

Collaterals lessen tissue injury in occlusive disease. However, aging causes progressive decline in their number and smaller diameters in those that remain (collateral rarefaction), beginning at 16 months-age in mice (ie, middle age), and worse ischemic injury—effects that are accelerated in even 3 months-old eNOS−/− mice. These findings have found indirect support in recent human studies.
Singular Spectrum Analysis of Gene Expression Profiles of Early Drosophila embryo: Exponential‐in‐Distance Patterns (2008)

We present investigation of gene expression profiles by means of singular spectrum analysis (SSA). The biological problem under investigation is the decomposition of bicoid protein profiles of Drosophila melanogaster into the sum of a signal and noise, where the former consists of an exponential-in-distance pattern and is close to constant nonspecific component, or "background." The signal processing problems addressed are (i) trend extraction from a noisy signal, (ii) batch processing of similar data, and (iii) analytical approximation of the signal components by the sum of exponential and constant-like functions. The proposed methods are evaluated on the given 17 series.
Rapid pressure swing absorption cleanup of post-shift reactor synthesis gas. Technical progress report, August 1, 1992--October 31, 1992 (1993)

The theoretical model for the absorption part of a particular type of RAPSAB cycle (Mode 3) (see Technical Progress Report No. 7) has been developed. The numerical simulations of the model compare well with the experimental results presented in the last report (Technical Progress Report No. 7). A number of experiments were carried out also for Mode 2 type of operation by varying the time for initial pressurization of the hollow fiber module as well as the total absorption time. These were done to provide a basis for comparison with the theoretical model to be developed later. We have initiated RAPSAB studies with reactive absorbents such as 19.5 % aqueous solution of diethanolamine (DEA) for the absorption of C0{sub 2} from a C0{sub 2}-N{sub 2} mixture. Six experiments were carried out using Mode 3 type of operation and a C0{sub 2}-N{sub 2} mixture containing 9.9% CO, and balance N{sub 2}. Excellent purification was obtained. No C0{sub 2} was observed in the purified high pressure gas outlet for absorption time of up to 14 seconds; the purified high pressure gas flow rate was also considerable. Module No. 5 was used for all experiments. The details of the module are given in Technical Progress Report No. 7.
