Focaltranscranial magnetic stimulation and response biasina forced-choice task (1992)

Theeffects oftranscranial magnetic stimulation werestudied ontheperformance ofawarned,forced-choice response time taskbynormaladults. Thetaskconsisted of extension of the indexfingerin response totheclickproducedby the discharge ofthemagnetic coil(go-signal). The subjects wereaskedtochoosethe right orleft finger onlyafter thego-signal wasdelivered. Single magneticstimuli weredelivered totheprefrontal ormotor area,andinthecontrol situation, away from thehead.Magneticstimulation affected handpreference onlywhenitwas delivered tothemotorarea. Withstimulationofthisarea,subjects more often chosethehandcontralateral tothesite stimulated withresponse timesthatwere mainlylessthan200ms. Withlonger responsetimes (between200 and 1100ms),magneticstimulation had no effect onhandpreference regardless ofthe sitestimulated. Stimulation ofprefrontal areasyielded results similar tothecontrol situation. These resultssuggestthat response biasinthisparadigmiscaused byan effect ofmagnetic stimulation on neuralstructures within,or closely related to,themotorareasofthebrain.

Dual-Recliner ABTS Seats in Severe Rear Sled Testswith the 5th, 50th and 95th Hybrid III (2021)

&lt;div class="section abstract"&gt;&lt;div class="htmlview paragraph"&gt;Seat strength has increased over the past four decades which includes a transition to dual recliners. There are seat collision performance issues with stiff ABTS and very strong seats in rear impacts with different occupant sizes, seating positions and physical conditions. In this study, eight rear sled tests were conducted in four series: 1) ABTS in a 56 km/h (35 mph) test with a 50th Hybrid III ATD at MGA, 2) dual-recliner ABTS and F-150 in a 56 km/h (35 mph) test with a 5th female Hybrid III ATD at Ford, 3) dual-recliner ABTS in a 48 km/h (30 mph) test with a 95th Hybrid III ATD leaning inboard at CAPE and 4) dual-recliner ABTS and Escape in 40 km/h (25 mph) in-position and out-of-position tests with a 50th Hybrid III ATD at Ford. The sled tests showed that single-recliner ABTS seats twist in severe rear impacts with the pivot side deformed more rearward than the stanchion side. The use of dual recliners on ABTS seats prevented twist but increased the stiffness causing serious injury risks, particularly to the small statured occupant. Dynamic testing of yielding seats provides a balance in strength and compliance for front-seat occupants of different size and physical condition.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The Willingness to Spend on Healthcare: Evidence from Singapore (2010)

For the past few decades, the household healthcare expenditures have experienced a phenomenal growth in Singapore. This paper seeks to identify the underlying socio-economic factors that contribute towards this phenomenon by employing time series data to examine the household willingness to spend on healthcare from 1970 to 2006. The results from our log-linear regression show that the willingness to spend on healthcare is positively related to the proportion of Singapore's population who are elderly, the literacy rate, the ratio of price of other goods and services to the price of healthcare, and the establishment of Singapore's mandatory health savings plan, Medisave. In terms of their effects on the growth of Singapore's willingness to spend on healthcare, the most important factors are the ageing of the population and the increase in the literacy rate.
Friction Measurements on Contact Lenses in a Physiologically Relevant Environment: Effect of Testing Conditions on Friction (2016)

An in vitro methodology to simulate in vivo wearing of contact lenses has been proposed. The results suggest that certain lens materials show increased CoF after ageing, with potential clinical implications. The results indicate that the presence of a persistent wetting agent is of advantage to maintain a low CoF after prolonged wearing.

Intermodulation analysis of dual-gate FET mixers (2002)

A detailed intermodulation analysis of dual-gate FET (DG-FET) mixers is presented. The analysis method is based on a large-signal/small-signal analysis using time-varying Volterra-series methods. The analysis program allows one to probe the internal nodes of DG-FETs to evaluate the nonlinear current components. Therefore, it helps physical understanding of intermodulation distortion (IMD) mechanisms in DG-FET mixers. The program was used to identify the major sources of IMD generation. It was found from the analysis that the nonlinearities due to the output conductance (G/sub d3/ and G/sub d2/) of the lower common-source FET were most responsible for IMD generation. The impact of the upper common-gate FET on IMD generation was also found to be nonnegligible, especially at high local oscillator (LO) power levels. The analysis also predicted the presence of MM "sweet spots" using bias optimization, which was experimentally proved by the fabricated mixers at X- and Ka-bands. The optimized X-band hybrid mixer showed measured intermodulation characteristics (OIP/sub 3/ /spl sim/13.6 dBm) comparable to those of the resistive mixers (OIP/sub 3/ /spl sim/15.3 dBm) with low LO and dc power conditions.
Successful Endovascular Management of a Massive Hemoptysis due to a Rare Oncological Giant Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm (2022)

Massive hemoptysis represents a distressing and life-threatening condition: 95% of cases originate from the bronchial artery system, with pulmonary arteries accounting for 6%–11% of cases. The most common etiology of hemoptysis from the pulmonary artery system is represented by pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPs). PAPs are defined as the focal dilation of a pulmonary artery branch, involving only the adventice, with a higher risk of rupture than a true aneurysm. It constitutes a rare finding, often underdiagnosed by radiologists. However, PAPs can be life-threatening if undiagnosed due to a high mortality rate (50%). They frequently occur in patients affected by erosive inflammatory processes and necrotising infections of the lung or heart, but other etiological factors include trauma, vasculitis, neoplasia, pulmonary hypertension and Hughes–Stovin Syndrome. PAPs due to oncologic etiologies are rare. Among oncologic etiologies, the most frequent are represented by primary lung cancer rather than metastases. Today, CT angiography represents the imaging modality of choice; not only to establish diagnosis, but if performed with an appropriate timing of intravenous contrast, it also helps to plan therapy with an endovascular approach. In fact, endovascular treatment is the preferred therapeutic approach in managing hemoptysis due to PAPs, since a surgical approach is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in patients who are poor surgical candidates. In this article we report the case of massive hemoptysis due to an unusual giant PAP of the posterior lower branch of the right pulmonary artery, in a patient affected by pulmonary colliquated and confluent metastases, successfully treated by endovascular embolisation.

Examining visible articulatory features in clear and conversational speech. (2015)

This study investigated the relationship between clear and conversational speech styles and motion of visible articulators. Using state-of-the-art computer-vision and image processing techniques, we examined front and side view videos of 18 native English speakers ’ faces while they recited six English words containing various vowels (keyed, kid, cod, cud, cooed, could) and extracted measurements corresponding to the lip and jaw movements. Significant effects were found for style, gender, and saliency of visual speech cues. Clear speech exhibited longer vowel duration and more vertical lip stretching and jaw movement for all vowels, more horizontal lip stretching for front vowels, and a greater degree of lip protrusion for rounded vowels. Additionally, greater articulatory movements were found for male than female speakers in clear speech. These articulatory movement data demonstrate that speakers modify their speech productions in response to communicative needs in different speech contexts.
Applications of Spectral Estimation Techniques to Radar Doppler Processing: Simulation and Analysis of HF (High-Frquency) Skywave Radar Data. (1985)

This work is the second paper in a series of studies of the application of spectral estimations techniques to Doppler processing of coherent radar signals. In this work, simulated high-frequency (HF) radar sea scatter time series are generated and processed by use of three different spectral estimation algorithms and the fast Fourier transform (FFT). The sea clutter is simulated by narrowband filtering a wideband Gaussian noise spectrum in the frequency domain, with filter widths appropriate to describe first-order Bragg lines and second-order continuum. Targets are introduced as sinusoids, stepped by 5 dB for eight different echo power values, and stepped in Doppler frequency for four different values relative to the clutter. These simulations identify problems that appear unique to Doppler processing of coherent radar data in the presence of broadband clutter, and are in distinction to the application of spectral estimation to processing in the spatial domain. In the latter case, the spectral contributions are generally narrowly confined in the angular power spectral estimate, and the aim is to separate these contributions in the presence of noise. The HF radar application is concerned with separation of weak targets in the presence of stronger clutter returns, which are relatively broad compared to the target return. It appears that the Burg maximum entropy method allows the detection of targets in clutter under conditions which the FFT is incapable of detection with any degree of certainty. (Author)
Direct Measurement of Compression of Laser-Imploded Targets Using X-Ray Spectroscopy (1977)

Compression of neon-filled glass microballoons irradiated by a four-beam laser system has been measured directly by Stark broadening, opacity broadening, and spatial profiles of ${\mathrm{Ne}}^{+9}$ x-ray lines. For an 8.6-atm fill pressure and a 0.2-TW, 40-psec laser pulse, the measured compressed neon density was 0.26 g/${\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$ and the product $\ensuremath{\rho}R$ was 2.5 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}$ ${\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{c}\mathrm{m}}^{2}$.
Reverse engineering synthetic antiviral amyloids (2020)

Human amyloids have been shown to interact with viruses and interfere with viral replication. Based on this observation, we employed a synthetic biology approach in which we engineered virus-specific amyloids against influenza A and Zika proteins. Each amyloid shares a homologous aggregation-prone fragment with a specific viral target protein. For influenza we demonstrate that a designer amyloid against PB2 accumulates in influenza A-infected tissue in vivo. Moreover, this amyloid acts specifically against influenza A and its common PB2 polymorphisms, but not influenza B, which lacks the homologous fragment. Our model amyloid demonstrates that the sequence specificity of amyloid interactions has the capacity to tune amyloid-virus interactions while allowing for the flexibility to maintain activity on evolutionary diverging variants.

Autonomous Dual-Mode (PAM2/4) Serial Link Transceiver with Adaptive Equalization and Data Recovery (2005)

Abstract—This paper describes an adaptively equalized, dualmode (PAM2 one-tap DFE/PAM4) 0.13 m CMOS transceiver chip, and the techniques used to continuously adapt the link. Interestingly, with only minor modification the same hardware needed to implement a PAM4 system can be used to implement a PAM2 loop-unrolled single-tap decision-feedback equalization (DFE) receiver. Adaptive equalization using data-based update filtering allows continuous updates while minimizing the required sampler front-end hardware and significantly reduces the cost of implementation in multi-level signaling schemes. To allow the transmitter to adapt to the channel, the link uses common-mode signaling to create a back-channel communication path over the existing pair of wires. The design uses a three-level return-to-null signaling scheme which allows the receiver to simultaneously extract voltage and timing references and minimize the required receiver hardware. The measured results indicate that this back-channel achieves reliable communication without noticeable impact on the forward link for back-channel data rates of up to 16 Mb/s and swings of 20–100 mV. Index Terms—Adaptive equalization, back-channel, commonmode, data recovery, decision-feedback equalization (DFE), link.
Quality Criteria for Micronutrient Powder Products: Report of a Meeting Organized by the World Food Programme and Sprinkles Global Health Initiative (2008)

Distribution of micronutrient powder (MNP), also known as Sprinkles", is becoming a preferred strategy for addressing micronutrient deficiencies. In response, different formulations are being developed, different producers manufacture MNP and several organizations coordinate distribution. However, as yet, the supply of MNP as well as experience with large-scale MNP programs is limited. To facilitate expansion of MNP use such that acceptability and compliance are high and effectiveness maintained, product quality, of both powder and packaging, good advocacy among decision makers, and providing good information to the target population are crucial. A meeting was organized in Toronto by the Sprinkles Global Health Initiative and the World Food Programme to review and reach consensus on quality criteria for composition, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling of MNP propose guidelines for wide-scale production, and discuss MNP program experience. It was recognized that the durability of some of the more sensitive micronutrients in their powdered form in the harsh climatic conditions of many countries has implications for formulation, packaging, storage, and handling of the MNP product. A question-and-answer manual would greatly facilitate program design and implementation. It was agreed to form an interim Technical Advisory Group to prepare for formation of a Technical Advisory Group with agreed-upon tasks and responsibilities. The MNP manufacturing manual of the Sprinkles Global Health Initiative can continue to be used, with reference to the recommendations from the Toronto Meeting outlined in this paper. Meanwhile, the Sprinkles Global Health Initiative will not place any encumbrances on production using its manual; however, the brand name Sprinkles" will stay protected under various trademark laws.
Security and Uses of the Internet (2019)

The Internet is a very powerful tool. Nevertheless, security problems are crippling it, and-if matters continue as they have been going-will ultimately drive away serious information providers and users. This presentation explores some of the problems and their causes, and sketches some palliative measures. [Article copies available from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-342-9678.]

Serum Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein Levels in Collegiate Soccer Athletes over the Duration of an Athletic Season (2014)

Qualitatively, our findings suggest that as minutes of participation increased, sCOMP levels increased. However, no statistically significant differences were identified. We speculate these increases were an increase in cartilage turnover and an interesting observation related to increases in physical activity. However, the implications are unclear as there was a return to near baseline levels.
Concurrent Cycle Collection in Reference Counted Systems (2001)

Abstract. Automatic storage reclamation via reference counting has important advantages, but has always suffered from a major weakness due to its inability to reclaim cyclic data structures. We describe a novel cycle collection algorithm that is both concurrent — it is capable of collecting garbage even in the presence of simultaneous mutation — and localized — it never needs to perform a global search of the entire data space. We describe our algorithm in detail and present a proof of correctness. We have implemented our algorithm in the Jalapeño Java virtual machine as part of the Recycler, a concurrent multiprocessor reference counting garbage collector that achieves maximum mutator pause times of only 6 milliseconds. We present measurements of the behavior of the cycle collection algorithm over a set of eight benchmarks that demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm at finding garbage cycles, handling concurrent mutation, and eliminating global tracing. 1
Targeted chemotherapy with cytotoxic bombesin analogue AN‐215 inhibits growth of experimental human prostate cancers (2005)

We developed a powerful cytotoxic analogue of bombesin AN-215, in which the bombesin (BN)-like carrier peptide is conjugated to 2-pyrrolino doxorubicin (AN-201). Human prostate cancers express high levels of receptors for BN/gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) that can be used for targeted chemotherapy. The effects of targeted chemotherapy with cytotoxic BN analogue AN-215 were evaluated in nude mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts of DU-145, LuCaP-35, MDA-PCa-2b and intraosseous implants of C4-2 human prostate cancers. Intraosseous growth of C4-2 tumors was monitored by serum PSA. BN/GRP receptors were evaluated by 125I-[Tyr4]BN binding assays and RT-PCR. The effects of AN-215 on apoptosis and cell proliferation were followed by histology, and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein was determined by Western blot analysis. Targeted analog AN-215 significantly inhibited growth of subcutaneously implanted DU-145, LuCaP-35 and MDA-PCa-2b prostate cancers by 81% to 91% compared to controls, while cytotoxic radical AN-201 was less effective and more toxic. Serum PSA levels of mice bearing intraosseous C4-2 prostate tumors were significantly reduced. In LuCaP-35 tumors administration of BN antagonist RC-3095 prior to AN-215 blocked the receptors for BN/GRP and inhibited the effects of AN-215. High affinity receptors for BN/GRP and their m-RNA were detected on membranes of all 4 tumor models. Therapy with AN-215, but not with AN-201, decreased the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in DU-145 and the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 in LuCaP-35 tumors. The presence of BN/GRP receptors on primary and metastatic prostate cancers makes possible targeted chemotherapy with AN-215 for the treatment of this malignancy.
Locally Adapted Projections to Reduce Panorama Distortions (2009)

Abstract Displaying panoramic and wide angle views on a flat 2D display surface is necessarily prone to distortions. Perspective projections are limited to fairly narrow view angles. Cylindrical and spherical projections can show full 360° panoramas, but at the cost of curving straight lines, interfering with the perception of salient shapes in the scene. In this paper, we introduce locally‐adapted projections . Such projections are defined by a continuous projection surface consisting of both near‐planar and curved parts. A simple and intuitive user interface allows the specification of regions of interest to be mapped to the near‐planar parts, thereby reducing bending artifacts. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a variety of panoramic and wide angle images, including both indoor and outdoor scenes.
Use of indicator functions to enumerate cross-array designs without direct product structure (2022)

Use of polynomial indicator functions to enumerate fractional factorial designs with given properties is first introduced by Fontana, Pistone and Rogantin (2000) for two-level factors, and generalized by Aoki (2019) for multi-level factors. In this paper, we apply this theory to enumerate cross-array designs. For the experiments of several control factors and noise factors, use of the cross-array designs with direct product structure is widespread as an effective robust strategy in Taguchi method. In this paper, we relax this direct product structure to reduce the size of the designs. We obtain 24-runs cross-array designs without direct product structure with some desirable properties for 6 control factors and 3 noise factors, each with two-levels, instead of 32-runs design that is widely used.
