A Dynamic Power Management Algorithm for Sporadic Tasks in Real-Time Embedded Systems (2016)

Dynamic voltage Scaling (DVS) has been widely studied as an innovative technology in reducing the real-time embedded devices. An efficient performance of DVS algorithm largely depends on how to acquire more slack times to scale voltage down. In this paper, we present a more effective power management algorithm to reclaim online slack time from both higher-priority and lower-priority tasks. Based on the improvement of method, we propose a novel dynamic energysaving scheduling algorithm for sporadic tasks in real-time embedded systems (DESSAST-RTES) based on EDF. We also introduce the critical speed which was proposed in previous Studies, and the dynamic power management technology to acquire better energy-saving performance. Considering the difference between the real execution time and the worst-case execution time, DESSAST-RTES can scale processor frequencies dynamically with the real execution time, while guaranteeing all task would not miss their deadlines. The experimental results show that the DESSAST-RTES algorithm can reduce more energy consumption than existing DVS algorithms for sporadic tasks.
Automated grading system for evaluation of ocular redness associated with dry eye (2013)

This objective means of grading ocular redness in a unified fashion has potential significance as a new clinical endpoint. In comparisons between computer and investigator, computer grading proved to be more reliable than another investigator using the OCDER scale. The best fitting model based on the present sample, and usable for future studies, was [Formula: see text] is the predicted investigator grade, and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are logarithmic transformations of the computer calculated parameters COM-Hor and COM-Red. Considering the superior repeatability, computer automated grading might be preferable to investigator grading in multicentered dry eye studies in which the subtle differences in redness incurred by treatment have been historically difficult to define.
Miniaturized Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons Load for Planar Terahertz Circuit Application on Thick Substrate (2021)

In this brief, we present a miniaturized spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) load for planar terahertz (THz) circuit application on thick substrate. The proposed SPP cell consists of a groove-shaped structure integrated with a folded stub. The coupling between the stub and the grooves enlarges the capacitance, reduces the cutoff frequency, and miniaturizes the SPP size. The strong field confinement of the SPP waveguide leads to tremendous insertion loss near the cutoff frequency. Furthermore, due to the low conductivity and high permeability, the SPP structures made of nickel (Ni) metal increase the metallic loss to 40 folds that of the aluminum (Al) case, effectively absorbing the propagating electromagnetic wave. Therefore, the tapered SPP structure made of Ni metal can operate as a load with a compact size of <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1.7\,\,\boldsymbol {\lambda } _{\mathrm{ g}}\,\,\boldsymbol {\times }\,\,0.23\,\,\boldsymbol {\lambda } _{\mathrm{ g}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\boldsymbol {\lambda } _{\mathrm{ g}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is the guided wavelength at 300 GHz). The reflection coefficient of this compact SPP load is below −20 dB in the 195 - 500 GHz band. Finally, this SPP load is utilized in an equal-power two-way Goubau-line divider, with <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.194~\boldsymbol{\lambda } _{\mathrm{ g}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> substrate thickness, operating in 220- 325 GHz band. The simulated and experimented results are consistent, indicating that the proposed compact SPP load could serve as a matching load for THz multiple-port circuit application on thick substrate.
Predicting chronological age at slaughter from the dentition of young bulls (1993)

The use of dentition as an indicator of age has been accepted for many years, particularly in the equine, although as yet, dentition as a means of age determination has never been used in cattle in commercial grading situations. The age of an animal at slaughter is generally believed to be inversely related to meat tenderness. Other aspects of meat quality have also been found to be affected by age, particularly in young bulls. These include flavour, juiciness, colour of lean and firmness. It has long been acknowledged that the greater stress susceptibility of bulls (who get more aggressive with increasing age) is the reason for the higher incidence of dark cutting in bull beef. The supply of older bulls to the food chain, may, therefore, be deleterious to meat quality and may be contributing to the poor reputation of bull beef. The objective of the present study was to develop a method for predicting chronological age at slaughter from the dentition of Aberdeen Angus x and Charolais x bulls. The experimental design allowed the effects of breed and diet to be assessed.
Microbial degradation of lignin (1979)

The biological degradation of lignin is one of the most quantitatively important parts of the biospheric carbon-oxygen cycle. Lignen contributes enormous amounts of organic carbon to the biosphere on a continuing basis. A great percentage of this plant biosynthesis lignin is mineralized each year by microorganisms and the carbon is, thereby, returned to the atmosphere as CO/sub 2/. Yet the microbiology of lignin degradation is not well understood. Until recently, only certain fungi were known to degrade lignin. The pathways of fungal lignin degradation were mostly conjecture, and little was known concerning the enzymes involved in lignin degradation. Recently, however, major advances in lignin biodegradation research have occurred. The range of microorganisms known to attack lignin has been expanded to include certain bacteria as well as fungi not previously thought to be lignin decomposers. For certain fungi, the pathways of lignin degradation are becoming known, and as a result, an elucidation of the enzymology of lignin degradation appears feasible. This review briefly summarizes the current knowledge concerning the microbiology of lignin degradation. It also discusses the potential benefits that this area of research might have in terms of future industrial applications. Such applications might utilize microbiological lignin bioconversion processes formore » the production of useful chemicals from this tremendous renewable, but untapped reservoir of organic carbon.« less
Distinct Escape Pathway by Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 1a from a Dominant CD8 + T Cell Response by Selection of Altered Epitope Processing (2015)

HCV is able to evolutionary adapt to CD8(+) T cell immune pressure in multiple ways. Beyond selection of mutations inside targeted epitopes, this study demonstrates that HCV inhibits epitope processing by modification of the epitope flanking region under T cell immune pressure. Selection of a substitution five amino acids upstream of the epitope underlines that efficient antigen presentation strongly depends on its larger sequence context and that blocking of the multistep process of antigen processing by mutation is exploited also by HCV. The pathways to mutational escape of HCV are to some extent predictable but are distinct in different genotypes. Importantly, the selected escape pathway of HCV may have consequences for the destiny of antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells.
Line scan diffusion imaging of the spine. (2003)

Line scan diffusion imaging is a robust and reliable method for imaging the spinal column. It does not suffer as strongly from susceptibility artifacts as does echo-planar imaging and is less susceptible to patient motion than are other multi-shot techniques. The different contributions from the water and fat fractions need to be considered in diffusion-weighted imaging of the vertebral bodies.
A Novel and Economical Synthesis of 2″-O-Alkyl-Uridines (1997)

Abstract A highly efficient, two-step method to make 2′-O-methyluridine is described using only inexpensive reagents and no chromatography. The method is applicable for some other alkyls as well as some other pyrimidine derivatives.
Techniques for Establishing Native Aquatic Plants (1998)

Man-made aquatic systems such as reservoirs are particularly vulnerable to infestations of weedy species because early in their existence they typically lack aquatic vegetation of any kind. Establishment of native aquatic plants in such systems could be an important deterrent to the spread of exotic weeds. This article describes a new Aquatic Plant Control Research Program (APCRP) work unit to develop methods for large-scale establishment of desirable native aquatic plants in man-made systems. The article discusses the need for work in this area, identifies the approach and research objectives, and describes early progress. An example project
HPLC Methods for Purification of Antimicrobial Peptides (2003)

The advent of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has greatly accelerated the discovery, purification, and characterization of antimicrobial peptides. Virtually every modern study of an antimicrobial peptide includes or was preceded by a description of its purification. The increased pace of peptide discovery and characterization has resulted from the development of sophisticated column and solvent delivery technology over the last four decades. Interestingly, the modern methods described here derive directly from standard open-column (“low performance”) chromatographic modalities. Therefore, it is not surprising that virtually every method used in traditional column chromatography has been adapted to high performance methods. These include gel filtration, ion-exchange, and reversed-phase chromatography methods described in this chapter.
Intrarenal and Cellular Localization of CLC-K2 Protein in the Mouse Kidney (2001)

CLC-K2, a kidney-specific member of the CLC chloride channel family, is thought to play an important role in the transepithelial Cl(-) transport in the kidney. This consensus was first reached shortly after it was demonstrated that the mutations of the human CLCNKB gene resulted in Bartter's syndrome type III. To clarify the pathogenesis, the exact intrarenal and cellular localization of CLC-K2 by immunohistochemistry of the Clcnk1-/- mouse kidney were investigated by use of an anti-CLC-K antibody that recognized both CLC-K1 and CLC-K2. CLC-K2 is expressed in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and distal tubules, where it is localized to the basolateral membranes. The localization of CLC-K2 to these nephron segments strongly implies that CLC-K2 confers the basolateral chloride conductance in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and distal tubules, where Cl(-) is taken up by the bumetanide-sensitive Na-K-2Cl cotransporter or the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter at the apical membranes. CLC-K2 expression was also shown to extend into the connecting tubule in the basolateral membrane. CLC-K2 was found in basolateral membranes of the type A intercalated cells residing along the collecting duct. This localization strongly suggests that CLC-K2 confers the basolateral conductance in the type A intercalated cells where Cl(-) is taken up by the anion exchanger in exchange for HCO(3)(-) at the basolateral membranes. These aspects of CLC-K2 localization suggest that CLC-K2 is important in Cl(-) transport in the distal nephron segments.

Objective: To reveal the status of protocol deviations in clinical trials of new drug application,and to give reference information to improve the quality of clinical trials.Methods: Thirty six clinical trials of phase II and phase III were collected and the reasons of deviation from design were coded.Results: The deviations were little associated with the basic information of these trials.The most important types were lost(27.73%),not accord with inclusion and exclusion criteria(14.43%),the combined medicine use that influence the efficacy of drugs(14.05%),poor compliance(11.42%),withdrawal because of adverse event(10.92%),and so on.The most important types of deviation affecting population dividing into FAS and PPS were loss of follow-up,and incorrect inclusion and exclusion criteria.For SS,it was lost to follow-up,and the SS set was lost also.Conclusion: Most of the reasons that lead to the plan deviations is associated with the implementation quality of the trials,only a little are related to the characteristics of the drug itself.It is very important to take measures to improve the quality of the study by the sponsors and monitors in their own aspects.
ElVisWeb: An interactive web‐application for the visualzation of ERG recordings based on the Electrophysiology of Vision Markup Language (2011)

Abstract Purpose Recently, we proposed a standard for the exchange of electrophysiological recordings of vision, called Electrophysiology of Vision Markup Language (ElVisML). Here we present a Web 2.0 application, ElVisWeb, for visualizing data encoded in ElVisML. It intends to facilitate the exchange of recordings on mailing lists like CEVNet in a standardized way and to allow for sharing of data along with published articles. Methods Main goals of ElVisWeb were easy usage and deployment. It is developed completely in JavaScript and as web application it does not require any installation on the client. It uses the single‐page‐interface paradigm (SPI): An ElVisML‐file can be pasted into a text‐field and a graphical representation of it is compiled. ElVisWeb can be deployed on any web‐server or executed locally. For convenience, there is an upload functionality, which requires PHP on the server, however. ElVisWeb leverages open source JavaScript libraries for XML‐processing (http://dev.abiss.gr/sarissa) and charts generation (http://www.jqplot.com). Results A Web 2.0 application for visualization of electrophysiological recordings of vision, ElVisWeb, was successfully implemented. It is designed for easy usage and deployment. Recordings encoded in ElVisML can be visualized with no additional software installation. Conclusion ElVisML is a standardized way for exchanging electrophysiological data. ElVisWeb is a first step towards an open ecosystem around ElVisML. It provides chart generation for recordings and may be used in mailing lists like CEVNet or for sharing data along with published articles. It is also ready to be used on mobile devices.
Correlation of optical properties and structural analysis for cobalt silicide layers buried in silicon (1993)

The optical reflectivity from buried and exposed CoSi2 layers produced by Co ion implantation of Si substrates has been measured over the energy range 0.012–6.2 eV (0.2- 100 μm). Both unannealed and annealed layers were investigated. The complex dielectric constant of the bare CoSi2 layer was obtained from a Kramers-Kronig analysis. The plasma frequency, carrier concentration and relaxation time of the buried CoSi2 layers were obtained from classical dispersion analyses of the multicomponent reflectivity data. The effective carrier concentration derived from the optical data and the measured chaneling from Rutherford back scattering correlated with anneal temperature.
Replication of Western Equine Encephalomyelitis Virus (1968)

The ribonucleic acid (RNA) from Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE) virions sedimented through sucrose gradients with a sedimentation coefficient of 40S. Another viral RNA which was always associated with infected cells possessed a sedimentation coefficient of 26S. Both 40S and 26S RNA had identical base compositions and densities. The 40S RNA displayed a hyperchromic effect when heated with a T(m) of 57.5 C. When 40S RNA was heated at 90 C and cooled rapidly, it sedimented with a coefficient of 26S. Dialysis of 40S RNA against distilled water changed its sedimentation coefficient to 26S. The presence of 8 m urea or 50% dimethyl sulfoxide in the gradients also altered the sedimentation rate of 40S RNA to 26S. In the latter case, the 26S RNA retained 10% of the infectivity originally added as 40S RNA. Dialysis of 26S RNA against 0.5 m NaCl or 0.05 m acetate buffer at pH 4.0 altered it so that about 50% of the radioactivity sedimented with a coefficient of 40S. Chromatography on methylated albumin-kieselguhr columns failed to separate 40S RNA from 26S RNA. Viral RNA either exists in two conformations which sediment differently in sucrose or contains an extremely labile portion near the center and is easily broken into two equal pieces.
Faculty Opinions recommendation of Gene transfer to plants by diverse species of bacteria. (2005)

Agrobacterium is widely considered to be the only bacterial genus capable of transferring genes to plants. When suitably modified, Agrobacterium has become the most effective vector for gene transfer in plant biotechnology. However, the complexity of the patent landscape has created both real and perceived obstacles to the effective use of this technology for agricultural improvements by many public and private organizations worldwide. Here we show that several species of bacteria outside the Agrobacterium genus can be modified to mediate gene transfer to a number of diverse plants. These plant-associated symbiotic bacteria were made competent for gene transfer by acquisition of both a disarmed Ti plasmid and a suitable binary vector. This alternative to Agrobacterium-mediated technology for crop improvement, in addition to affording a versatile 'open source' platform for plant biotechnology, may lead to new uses of natural bacteria-plant interactions to achieve plant transformation.

Killing of Leishmania tropica amastigotes by factors in normal human serum. (1984)

Amastigotes of Leishmania tropica and L. donovani were incubated with fresh or heat-inactivated normal human serum. Viability was estimated by amastigote conversion to promastigote forms and by the ability of serum-treated amastigotes to infect human monocytes. L. tropica, a parasite that causes local skin infection, was killed by fresh but not by heat-inactivated serum. The serum cytotoxic effect on L. tropica was inhibited by EDTA but not by Mg-EGTA. C2-deficient serum killed normally; C6-deficient serum was ineffective. These data indicate that L. tropica is killed by the complement membrane attack complex, in a sequence of reactions initiated by components of the alternate pathway. In contrast, L. donovani, a parasite that causes systemic visceral leishmaniasis, was 10-fold less susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of normal serum. Thus, a profound difference exists in the susceptibility of amastigotes of two species of Leishmania to a defense mechanism present in human serum. Serum complement factors may play an important role in limiting L. tropica to the skin. The resistance of L. donovani to such factors may be the primary reason for its ability to escape from the site of inoculation and cause catastrophic, disseminated disease.
Structural comparisons using restrained inhomogeneous transformations (1989)

Comparisons between structures with similar atomic skeletons are made by mathematically deforming one over the other using inhomogeneous transformations. Removal of shallow bending and twisting distortions between the structures reveals local differences that are masked by comparisons using homogeneous transformations. Inhomogenous deformations are restrained to prevent unrealistic changes in local atomic bonding geometry by the addition of penalty functions similar in form to the potentials used in empirical molecular mechanics calculations.
Design constraints for haptic surgery simulation (2002)

There are many engineering challenges that must be addressed in order to successfully integrate haptics with the environmental characteristics found in surgery. The most fundamental of these challenges is to achieve update rates of solid nonlinear deformable objects that are acceptable to the human haptic system. The paper presents a software architecture that is designed to meet these challenges by analysing the task, the haptic, and the hardware constraints of surgery simulation.
