An Inductive Content-Augmented Network Embedding Model for Edge Artificial Intelligence (2019)

Real-time data processing applications demand dynamic resource provisioning and efficient service discovery, which is particularly challenging in resource-constraint edge computing environments. Network embedding techniques can potentially aid effective resource discovery services in edge environments, by achieving a proximity-preserving representation of the network resources. Most of the existing techniques of network embedding fail to capture accurate proximity information among the network nodes and further lack exploiting information beyond the second-order neighbourhood. This paper leverages artificial intelligence for network representation and proposes a deep learning model, named inductive content augmented network embedding (ICANE), which integrates the network structure and resource content attributes into a feature vector. Secondly, a hierarchical aggregation approach is introduced to explicitly learn the network representation through sampling the nodes and aggregating features from the higher-order neighbourhood. A semantic proximity search model is then designed to generate the top-k ranking of relevant nodes using the learned network representation. Experiments conducted on real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed model over the existing popular methods in terms of resource discovery and the query resolving performance.

Vertical and horizontal wells with an open hole completion in a carbonate reservoir were selected to be a candidate for post acid treatments evaluation study. These wells were stimulated using hydrochloric and emulsified acid with foamed viscoelastic-based water. Viscoelastic-based water system was used to enhance the diversion mechanism and the lifting process for the spent acid following the treatment.In this paper new correlations for acid treatment design were obtained from an extensive study of several case histories that can be used for optimizing future acid treatments design in the Ghawar field. This study was mainly utilized the results from the post acid treatment jobs in terms of HCl acid, emulsified acid and viscoelastic volume correlated with the well's injectivity.Based on the study results, there is a strong relationship between the emulsified acid volumes with the injectivity index for the selected wells.

Sustainable, Stereoregular, and Optically Active Polyamides via Cationic Polymerization of ε-Lactams Derived from the Terpene β-Pinene (2017)

A convenient synthesis of sustainable polyamides, which contain side groups and stereocenters, starting from the biobased small terpene β-pinene is reported. The polyamides, which are obtained via the pinene-based lactam via ring-opening polymerization, show excellent thermal properties, rendering this approach very interesting for the utilization of novel biobased and structurally significant high-performance polymers and materials. Polymer masses and yields are shown to be dependent on different parameters, and the stereoinformation of the lactam monomer can thus be transferred into the polymer chain. In addition, another lactam side product can also be transformed to polyamides.
Immunogenicity, Reactogenicity, and Immune Memory after Primary Vaccination with a Novel Haemophilus influenzae - Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup C Conjugate Vaccine (2007)

We evaluated two formulations of a new combined Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)-meningococcal serogroup C (MenC)-tetanus toxoid (TT) conjugated vaccine and two formulations of a new MenC-TT vaccine (trials 711202/001 and 711202/008; clinical trial register numbers NCT00135486 and NCT00135564 [www.ClinicalTrials.gov]). A total of 520 healthy infants were randomized to receive primary vaccination (at 2, 3, and 4 months) with either MenC-TT plus diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTPa)-hepatitis B virus (HBV)-inactivated poliovirus (IPV)/Hib, Hib-MenC-TT plus DTPa-HBV-IPV, or MenC-CRM(197) plus DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib (control). At 12 to 15 months, subjects received a polysaccharide challenge with meningococcal polysaccharide C plus a DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib booster. Immune responses were assessed 1 month after dose 2, 1 month after dose 3, and prior to and 1 month after the booster. After primary vaccination, there was no difference between groups in seroprotection rates as measured by titers of serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) to MenC (> or = 1:8) or concentrations of anti-polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP) antibody (> or = 0.15 microg/ml). Prior to the booster, there was no difference between groups in SBA seroprotection rates, whereas anti-PRP seroprotection rates were significantly higher after priming with Hib-MenC-TT. Booster doses induced large increases in SBA and anti-PRP antibodies in primed groups, indicating successful priming with induction of immune memory. Reactogenicity and safety were similar in all groups during the primary and booster phases. A novel combined Hib-MenC-TT conjugate vaccine induced MenC and Hib responses comparable to those induced by licensed monovalent vaccines. A Hib-MenC-TT conjugate vaccine provides vaccination against two major pathogens in a single injection and is a suitable candidate for use in primary or booster vaccination schedules.
Collision sensing by stereo vision and radar sensor fusion (2008)

To take the advantages of both stereo cameras and radar, this paper proposes a fusion approach to accurately estimate the location, size, pose and motion information of a threat vehicle with respect to the host from observations obtained by both sensors. To do that, we first fit the contour of a threat vehicle from stereo depth information, and find the closest point on the contour from the vision sensor. Then the fused closest point is obtained by fusing radar observations and the vision closest point. Next by translating the fitted contour to the fused closest point, the fused contour is obtained. Finally the fused contour is tracked by using the rigid body constraints to estimate the location, size, pose and motion of the threat vehicle. Experimental results from both the synthetic data and the real world road test data demonstrate the success of the proposed algorithm.
A Decision Theoretic Approach to Targeted Advertising (2013)

A simple advertising strategy that can be used to help increase sales of a product is to mail out special offers to selected potential customers. Because there is a cost associated with sending each offer, the optimal mailing strategy depends on both the benefit obtained from a purchase and how the offer affects the buying behavior of the customers. In this paper, we describe two methods for partitioning the potential customers into groups, and show how to perform a simple cost-benefit analysis to decide which, if any, of the groups should be targeted. In particular, we consider two decision-tree learning algorithms. The first is an "off the shelf" algorithm used to model the probability that groups of customers will buy the product. The second is a new algorithm that is similar to the first, except that for each group, it explicitly models the probability of purchase under the two mailing scenarios: (1) the mail is sent to members of that group and (2) the mail is not sent to members of that group. Using data from a real-world advertising experiment, we compare the algorithms to each other and to a naive mail-to-all strategy.
A mass spectral study of the binding of the anticancer drug cisplatin to ubiquitin (1999)

Cisplatin is a widely used antitumor agent for the treatment of testicular and ovarian cancers. It is believed to exert its cytotoxic effect by reacting with DNA. Within one day of injection, 65–98% of the platinum in the blood plasma is protein-bound. Pt–protein adducts are believed to be the cause of the drug's side effects but, to date, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ultraviolet (UV) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) studies of Pt–protein adducts have provided only low resolution data. In the investigation reported herein, ubiquitin was chosen as a model protein to evaluate the utility of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for study of the interactions of Pt anticancer drugs with proteins. Reacting ubiquitin with a 10-fold excess of cisplatin at 37°C resulted in formation of 1:1 adducts after less than 24 h, appearance of nearly equal amounts of 1:1 and 1:2 adducts after six days and persistence of 1:1 adducts even after 15 days. The Pt binding sites are probably Met1 and His68. Four monoadducts were characterized; Pt(NH3)2(Cl)(Ub)Mr 8829, Pt(NH3)2(H2O)(Ub)Mr 8812, Pt(NH3)2(Ub)Mr 8892, Pt(NH3)(Ub)Mr 8875. In the first two adducts, platinum is bound to ubiquitin in a monodentate fashion, the third in a bidentate fashion and the fourth in a tridentate (internally crosslinked) manner. Different Pt complexes form different adducts. Cisplatin forms four monoadducts and several diadducts. Transplatin forms mainly one monodentate monoadduct [trans-Pt(NH3)2 (Cl)(Ub)], while Pt(en)Cl2 forms mainly a bidentate monoadduct [Pt(en)Ub)]. Platination affects the protein structure. Formation of the bidentate adduct (Mr 8792) does not unfold the protein, whereas generation of the tridentate adduct (Mr 8775) unfolds the protein and gives rise to two charge state distributions. This can be due to having two conformations for the same cross-link or having two different cross-links. Based on the results of this mass spectral study, a possible mechanism for the binding of cisplatin to ubiquitin is proposed.
Fuel-Assisted Solution Route to Nanostructured Nickel Oxide Films for Electrochromic Device Application (2013)

In this work, nanocrystalline NiO films were prepared using the fuel-assisted solution method. The microstructure of the NiO film can be modulated by the addition of thiourea fuel. The size of NiO nanocrystals in the NiO film decreased with increasing amount of thiourea in the precursor solution. Compared to the film prepared without thiourea addition, the thiourea-assisted NiO film had enhanced electrochromic properties, including larger transmittance modulation, larger coloration efficiency, faster response time, and superior reliability. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements indicate that faster charge transfer occurs at the interface between the electrolyte and the fuel-assisted NiO films, which results in improved electrochromic behavior.
Uptake of cefadroxil derivatives in rat intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles. (1992)

Uptake of cefadroxil and its two acetyl-derivatives, N-acetyl- and O-acetyl-cefadroxil, into the brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) was measured at [pH]o = 5.5, 7.4 and [pH]i = 7.4. Both acetyl-derivatives showed a significantly slower uptake than cefadroxil at [pH]o = 5.5 and 7.4. Cefadroxil and the two derivatives showed a higher uptake rate in the presence of an inward H+ gradient ([pH]o = 5.5, [pH]i = 7.4). At [pH]o = 5.5, uptake of cefadroxil into BBMV was inhibited by N-acetyl-, O-acetyl-, N-BOC-, and N-BOC-O-acetyl-cefadroxil, but not by cephalothin and cefuroxime. At [pH]o = 7.4, no inhibition of cefadroxil uptake was evident for any inhibitors. There were two different transporters responsible for the uptake of cefadroxil at pH 5.5 and 7.4. One is the H(+)-coupled dipeptide transport system, and the other is the neutral pH-preferring system. The alpha-amino group may be essential for the transport of cefadroxil by both transport systems. Although the phenolic group in the side chain is not an essential functional group of beta-lactam antibiotics, an additional derivation on the phenolic group of cefadroxil also inhibited both the H(+)-coupled dipeptide transport system and the neutral pH-preferring transport system.
Truly random number generators based on non‐autonomous continuous‐time chaos (2008)

Abstract A novel non‐autonomous continuous‐time chaotic oscillator suitable for high‐frequency integrated circuit realization is presented. Simulation and experimental results, verifying the circuit feasibility, are given. Two methods for using this oscillator as the core of a random number generator are also proposed. Numerical binary data obtained according to the proposed methods pass the four basic tests of FIPS‐140‐2, while experimental data pass the full NIST‐800‐22 random number test suite.

Rhinovirus-Induced Barrier Dysfunction in Polarized Airway Epithelial Cells Is Mediated by NADPH Oxidase 1 (2011)

Previously, we showed that rhinovirus (RV), which is responsible for the majority of common colds, disrupts airway epithelial barrier function, as evidenced by reduced transepithelial resistance (R(T)), dissociation of zona occludins 1 (ZO-1) from the tight junction complex, and bacterial transmigration across polarized cells. We also showed that RV replication is required for barrier function disruption. However, the underlying biochemical mechanisms are not known. In the present study, we found that a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mimetic, poly(I:C), induced tight junction breakdown and facilitated bacterial transmigration across polarized airway epithelial cells, similar to the case with RV. We also found that RV and poly(I:C) each stimulated Rac1 activation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and Rac1-dependent NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) activity. Inhibitors of Rac1 (NSC23766), NOX (diphenylene iodonium), and NOX1 (small interfering RNA [siRNA]) each blocked the disruptive effects of RV and poly(I:C) on R(T), as well as the dissociation of ZO-1 and occludin from the tight junction complex. Finally, we found that Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) is not required for either poly(I:C)- or RV-induced reductions in R(T). Based on these results, we concluded that Rac1-dependent NOX1 activity is required for RV- or poly(I:C)-induced ROS generation, which in turn disrupts the barrier function of polarized airway epithelia. Furthermore, these data suggest that dsRNA generated during RV replication is sufficient to disrupt barrier function.
External validation and extension of the Early Prediction of Functional Outcome after Stroke (EPOS) prediction model for upper limb outcome 3 months after stroke (2022)

The EPOS model was successfully validated in first-ever stroke patients with mild-to-moderate neurological impairments, who were independent before their stroke. Now, its impact on clinical practice should be investigated in this population. Testing the model's performance in severe (recurrent) strokes and stratification of patients using the ARAT 32-point cut-off is required to enhance the model's generalizability and potential clinical impact.
Utilization bound revisited (2003)

Utilization bound is a well-known concept introduced in the seminal paper of Liu and Layland (1973), which provides a simple and practical way to test the schedulability of a real-time task set. The original utilization bound for the fixed-priority scheduler was given as a function of the number of tasks in the periodic task set. In this paper, we define the utilization bound as a function of the information about the task set. By making use of more than just the number of tasks, better utilization bound over the Liu and Layland bound can be achieved. We investigate in particular the bound given a set of periods for which it is still unknown if there is a polynomial algorithm for the exact bound. By investigating the relationships among the periods, we derive algorithms that yield better bounds than the Liu and Layland bound and the harmonic chain bound. Randomly generated task sets are tested against different bound algorithms. We also give a more intuitive proof of the harmonic chain bound and derive a computationally simpler algorithm.
The a to Z of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals: A Decade of Fast-Moving New Science and Patents (2012)

From aspirin to zoledronic acid, pharmaceutical cocrystals emerged in the past decade as a promising new weapon in the arsenal of drug development. Resurgence of interest in multicomponent crystal compositions has led to significant advances in the science of cocrystal design and discovery. These advances have built upon crystal engineering, which provides a deep understanding of supramolecular interactions between molecules that govern crystal packing and physicochemical properties of crystalline materials. Concomitantly, the patent landscape of pharmaceutical cocrystals developed rapidly in the last decade. This review presents a broad survey of patents issued in the area of pharmaceutical cocrystals. In addition, the review contains analyses of key patents in the area involving compositions and methodologies. Along the way, the main events of the past decade representing a renaissance of cocrystals of pharmaceutical materials are chronicled. Future directions in the area are discussed in light of key pending patent applications and recent publications of seminal interest.
A simulation study of computer aided teleoperation: Evaluation of enhanced manipulability. (1990)

Fundamental data as for partitioning of functions between human operators and computers in teleoperation systems are offered in this paper. These data were experimentally obtained by using a simulator. The simulator is composed of three components: a hypothetical robot manipulator capable of moving in two dimensional plane; an aiding device; input devices necessary in a manual mode of teleoperation. The aiding device can operate the robot hand to substitute a human operator for a while. It makes clear that the aiding device is very useful, especially in the case that human operator is a beginner or that task is too difficult to do, for example, the degree of freedom of the manipulator's motion is high.
Familial Association of Giant Cell Arteritis (1981)

The initial report of a father-daughter pair with giant cell arteritis (GCA) is made. To our knowledge, it represents only the 12th known familial aggregation of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and/or GCA. This provides evidence for direct transmission of GCA during the two generations and helps to establish a genetic mode of inheritance for this disease. Clinically, the familial and nonfamilial forms of PMR and/or GCA are indistinguishable.
3-D Numerical Simulation of Contact Angle Hysteresis for Slug Flow in Microchannel (2007)

Water management that ensures the effective removal of produced water in the microchannel at the cathode is critical for the performance of PEM fuel cells. The small dimension and confined space of channels leads to the importance of the surface force in determining the dynamics of inside liquid slugs. The present study focuses on the simulation of the slug detachment process in the micro-channel, using a contact angle hysteresis model within the framework of VOF approach. Based on solving the nonlinear equations accounting for the relationship among volume fraction, interface position, and contact angle, a special model is developed to replicate the hysteresis effect. In addition, a special algorithm is introduced to simulate the thin liquid/gas films. A systematic comparison between experiment and simulation has been conducted and the quantitative match in terms of slug dimensions is achieved for a wide range of flow conditions. The simulation reveals that the contact angle distribution along the slug profile could be approximated using piecewise linear function. The calculation also shows that the contact angle hysteresis might be responsible for several phenomena observed in experiment, such as slug instability.
Comparison of Gene Delivery Methods for Transformation ofRobinia pseudoacaciaL. by Ti-plasmid (2000)

The binary vector plasmid pIG121-Hm carrying the chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase (npt II), β-glucuronidase (gusA) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) genes was delivered intoRobinia pseudoacacia L. callus using theAgrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method and particle gun transformation method. It was determined that adding 10 mg/L of acetosyringone toAgrobacterium infection medium and callus-Agrobacterium co-culture medium could increaseAgrobacterium-mediated transformation efficiency. In contrast, particle gun transformation could successfully deliver plasmid DNA into the callus, but its transformation efficiency was lower and gene expression was transient in comparison with theAgrobacterium-mediated method, suggesting that substantially stronger promoters might be required.
