Spatial categorization and time perception: Why does it take less time to get home? (2010)

Abstract This paper identifies a new bias in consumers' time perceptions — consumers perceive a journey from a destination to home to be faster than a trip from home to the same destination. In three experiments we demonstrate that this effect occurs both for short trips and for long trips to and from home. We also show that this effect occurs for other familiar locations in addition to home. We discuss several possible causes for this effect and offer preliminary support for one possible reason that involves differences in how consumers spatially encode “home” vs. a destination. Since home is extremely familiar it enjoys a rich mental representation, and therefore, consumers may encode it as a relatively larger geographical area than the less familiar destination. We offer preliminary evidence that this can lead to a directional asymmetry in their feelings of trip progress.
Evaluation of attributes that affect longissimus muscle tenderness in Bos taurus and Bos indicus cattle. (1990)

Biological tenderness differences between longissimus muscles (LM) from Bos indicus and Bos taurus breeds were evaluated. Steers and heifers of Hereford x Angus (H x A, n = 10), 3/8 Sahiwal x H, A or H x A (3/8 SAH, n = 6) and 5/8 Sahiwal x H, A or H x A (5/8 SAH, n = 11) crosses were utilized. Muscle temperature and pH were monitored every 3 h for the first 12 h and at 24 h. Samples were obtained within 1 h and at 24 h postmortem from the LM for determination of calcium-dependent protease (CDP) -I and -II and CDP inhibitor (INH) activities. At 1 and 14 d postmortem, LM samples were removed for determining cathepsin B and B + L activity, soluble and total collagen, sarcomere length, muscle-fiber histochemistry, shear force and sensory-panel traits. Data were analyzed using least squares procedures with fixed effects of breed cross, sex and their interaction. No significant breed cross effects were observed for carcass traits or rates of pH and temperature decline. Steaks from H x A had lower (P less than .05) shear-force values and higher (P less than .05) sensory scores for tenderness at 1 and 14 d postmortem than steaks from 3/8 and 5/8 SAH. Correspondingly, 5/8 SAH had lower (P less than .05) myofibril fragmentation indices than H x A at 1, 3, 7 and 14 d postmortem. Breed cross effects were not significant for sarcomere length, fiber types, soluble and total collagen, cathepsin B and B + L specific activity, CDP-I and -II activity and INH activity within 1 h postmortem. However, INH total activity/100 g of muscle was greater (P less than .01) at 24 h postmortem for 5/8 SAH (208.8 +/- 14.8) and 3/8 SAH (195.6 +/- 19.3) than for H x A (136.3 +/- 14.9). For H x A, SDS-PAGE revealed that by d 1 desmin had been subjected to proteolysis, and by d 14 desmin could not be detected, but a 30,000-dalton component was clearly evident. However, in 5/8 SAH, desmin remained visible at d 14 without a 30,000-dalton component appearing. This reduced protein hydrolysis may account for less tender meat in SAH; INH apparently influences this process.
Passive keyless entry system for long term operation (2011)

We propose a passive keyless entry system which applies intrabody communication and updating scheme. Recently authentication vulnerability of the system has been reported. And most of attacks eavesdrop on authentication to extract the shared secret. The passive keyless entry system must be safe at least the life time of the vehicle. Our system uses intrabody communication instead of the wireless communication against eavesdropping. Furthermore in case the shared secret is extracted, our system updates the shared secret frequently. In this paper we describe the system design and the demo system.
Psychological experiments on the internet (2000)

In the last few years, it has become possible to conduct meaningful behavioral research via the Internet.As of June 17, 1998, there were 35 Internet experiments and surveys in the American Psychological Society list of Psychological Research on the Net, maintained by John Krantz, URL [http://psych.hanover.edu/APS/exponnet.html].By May 11, 1999, this figure had grown to 65, suggesting a growth rate of about 100% per year.I expect that this book and others like it will accelerate this growth.Of the experiments listed in the APS Web site, there were 24 in social psychology, 13 in cognitive, 8 in sensation/perception, 5 in health psychology, 4 in developmental, 3 in clinical, 3 in personality and industrial-organizational, 2 in biological, 2 in emotions, and one in general psychology.Although this list does not include all experiments, it gives a proportional estimate that indicates the growth of research conducted via the Web.Early "pioneers" of Internet research soon learned that it was not only possible to conduct research this way, but that it was also feasible to collect large samples of high quality data in a short period of time.This book is intended for psychologists who are interested in learning from the experiences of those who have been engaged in this type of research.The book includes a great deal of good advice from those who have learned by experience.
Importance-scanning worm using vulnerable-host distribution (2005)

Most Internet worms use random scanning. The distribution of vulnerable hosts on the Internet, however, is highly non-uniform over the IP-address space. This implies that random scanning wastes many scans on invulnerable addresses, and more virulent scanning schemes may take advantage of the non-uniformity of a vulnerable-host distribution. Questions then arise how attackers may make use of such information, and how virulent the resulting worm may be. These issues provide "worst-case scenarios" for defenders and "best-case scenarios" for attackers if the vulnerable-host distribution is available. This work develops such a scenario as the so-called importance scanning. Importance scanning results from importance sampling in statistics that scans IP-address space according to an empirical distribution of vulnerable hosts. An analytical model is developed to relate the infection rate of worms with the importance-scanning strategies. Experimental results based on parameters chosen from code red and slammer worms show that an importance-scanning worm can spread much faster than both a random-scanning worm and a routing worm. Furthermore, a game-theory approach suggests that the best strategy for defenders is to scatter applications uniformly in the entire IP-address space.
DNA rearrangement associated with the integration of T‐DNA in tobacco: an example for multiple duplications of DNA around the integration target (1995)

Transferred DNA (T-DNA) of the tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid is transferred from Agrobacterium tumefaciens to plant cells and is stably integrated into the plant nuclear genome. By the inverse polymerase chain reaction DNA fragments were amplified that contained the T-DNA/plant DNA junctions from the total DNA of a transgenic tobacco plant that had a single copy of the T-DNA in a repetitive region of its genome. A DNA fragment containing the target site was amplified from the total DNA of non-transformed tobacco by the polymerase chain reaction using high-stringency conditions. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of the target site with those of the T-DNA/plant DNA junctions revealed that various duplications of short stretches of nucleotide sequences around the target and in the incoming T-DNA had accompanied the integration of the T-DNA. A deletion of 16 bp at the target site was also found and the target site was similar, in terms of nucleotide sequence, to regions around the breakpoints of the T-DNA. This finding provides a clear example of the occurrence of complex rearrangements during the integration of T-DNA.
COLOR BLOBS-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL IN BROAD DOMAINS (2005)

In this paper, we propose a new method for Image Retrieval using Color Blobs. These blobs are regions found using a Neural Network-based color quantization over the Scale Space of the images. The features of each blob are then used to index images in a database. Furthermore, we add other commodity searches to the system, such as the annotation generated automatically using image categorization, physical location context using GPS, or color exclusion search. The method is compared with methods based on Color Histograms, showing the increase in speed, recall and precision. We also show how our method is compatible with other approaches in combined queries.
Persistent prevention of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy using calmangafodipir (PledOx ® ): a placebo-controlled randomised phase II study (PLIANT) (2017)

Calmangafodipir at a dose of 5 µmol/kg appears to prevent the development of oxaliplatin-induced acute and delayed CIPN without apparent influence on tumour outcomes.
Pressure Sensitivity for Particle Packing of Aqueous Al 2 O 3 Slurries vs Interparticle Potential (1994)

The relation between relative density and applied network pressure has been determined for aqueous Al 2 O 3 slurries prepared with different interparticle potentials and consolidated by centrifugation. Attractive interparticle potentials were obtained by either changing the pH to the isoelectric point or adding an excess electrolyte. A range of centrifugal speeds produced consolidation pressures between 10 –3 and 10 MPa. At lower speeds, the density gradient was determined with an X‐ray absorption technique. The maximum packing density (0.62 ± 0.02) was achieved for both dispersed and coagulated slurries at network pressures &gt;0.5 MPa. At lower pressures, thepacking density of these slurries was pressure‐dependent, where the coagulated (salt added) slurries had a relative density between that of the dispersed and flocced slurries. Slurries flocculated by adjusting the pH to the isoelectric point never reached the highest packing density at the largest pressure.

Phytochemical data obtained from HPLC includes concentration (mg/g) of gallic acid (GA), catechin (CAT), and epicatechin (EPI). The data also presents information obtained from various statistical analysis <i>viz.</i> standard error of the mean values, distribution variables, prediction accuracy, and multiple logistic regression analysis.
The RFID-Enabled Dairy Farm: Towards Total Farm Management (2008)

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is currently being deployed in government mandated livestock identification schemes across the world. RFID in its basic function can help authorities identify animals, especially when traceability becomes paramount during disease outbreaks across regions. This paper provides a view of how an RFID-enabled dairy farm can leverage mobile network infrastructure towards achieving total farm management. The data for the study was collected from two case studies, both NLIS (national livestock identification system) compliant dairy farms on the South Coast of New South Wales in Australia. The Cochrane and Strong Farms were used as models to illustrate the core and auxiliary technology components of an RFID-enabled dairy farm. This paper provides the first end-to-end view of the infrastructure and processes required to achieve an advanced RFID-enabled state-of-the-art dairy farm.
Experiences with CoralCDN: a five-year operational view (2010)

CoralCDN is a self-organizing web content distribution network (CDN). Publishing through CoralCDN is as simple as making a small change to a URL's hostname; a decentralized DNS layer transparently directs browsers to nearby participating cache nodes, which in turn cooperate to minimize load on the origin webserver. CoralCDN has been publicly available on PlanetLab since March 2004, accounting for the majority of its bandwidth and serving requests for several million users (client IPs) per day. This paper describes CoralCDN's usage scenarios and a number of experiences drawn from its multi-year deployment. These lessons range from the specific to the general, touching on the Web (APIs, naming, and security), CDNs (robustness and resource management), and virtualized hosting (visibility and control). We identify design aspects and changes that helped CoralCDN succeed, yet also those that proved wrong for its current environment.

Ruthenium-Catalyzed Alkene–Alkyne Coupling of Disubstituted Olefins: Application to the Stereoselective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Enecarbamates (2014)

The Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling reaction has been demonstrated to be an enabling methodology for the synthesis of complex molecules. However, to date, it has been limited to monosubstituted olefins. Herein we report the first general utilization of disubstituted olefins in the Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling reaction by employing carbamate directing groups. The products are stereodefined trisusbstituted enecarbamates. The elaboration of these structures toward the asymmetric synthesis of complex aminocyclopentitols and 1,2-amino alcohols is discussed.
Overview of Opacity in Discrete Event Systems (2020)

In recent years, opacity has received increasing attention in terms of analyzing security and privacy problems. Opacity is a confidentiality property that characterizes a system's ability to hide its secret information from any external intruders. A systematic overview of opacity in the context of discrete event systems (DESs) was conducted; this paper firstly reviews the verification methods and computational complexity of the opacity in DESs using the formalisms of automata and Petri nets. When the system is verified to be non-opaque, the approaches that synthesize an opaque system are summarized. Finally, the future research directions and open problems of opacity in DES are also reviewed.
High Charge State Heavy Ion Production from a PIG Source (1975)

The comparison of pulsed vs. dc arc operation for nitrogen and argon shows a shift in charge distribution toward the higher charge states for the pulsed case. Tests with various magnetic field shapes along the arc column show a significant increase in high charge state output for a uniform field compared to the case with a field low at the cathodes.
Dose-efficient scanning Compton X-ray microscopy (2023)

The highest resolution of images of soft matter and biological materials is ultimately limited by modification of the structure, induced by the necessarily high energy of short-wavelength radiation. Imaging the inelastically scattered X-rays at a photon energy of 60 keV (0.02 nm wavelength) offers greater signal per energy transferred to the sample than coherent-scattering techniques such as phase-contrast microscopy and projection holography. We present images of dried, unstained, and unfixed biological objects obtained by scanning Compton X-ray microscopy, at a resolution of about 70 nm. This microscope was realised using novel wedged multilayer Laue lenses that were fabricated to sub-ångström precision, a new wavefront measurement scheme for hard X rays, and efficient pixel-array detectors. The doses required to form these images were as little as 0.02% of the tolerable dose and 0.05% of that needed for phase-contrast imaging at similar resolution using 17 keV photon energy. The images obtained provide a quantitative map of the projected mass density in the sample, as confirmed by imaging a silicon wedge. Based on these results, we find that it should be possible to obtain radiation damage-free images of biological samples at a resolution below 10 nm.
A hands‐on introduction to medical physics and radiation therapy for middle school students (2019)

Lesson plans were developed to present concepts of medical physics and radiation therapy to a middle school audience. These workshop learning units relied on hands-on participation and collaboration within student groups to acquaint students with computed tomography simulation and treatment planning processes. These lesson plans were delivered at two different educational outreach programs targeted at student groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The lesson plans are scheduled to be delivered at a third program in the future. The activities were used to introduce occupations in medical physics and radiation therapy as possible career opportunities for students, and to generate enthusiasm for continuing STEM education. Lesson plans are available upon request for educators interested in exploring medical physics educational outreach activities in their communities.
Abstract 4660: Inhibition of p38 enhances ERK inhibitor efficacy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (2016)

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Oncogenic mutation of KRAS in greater than 90% of PDAC leads to aberrant activation of multiple effector pathways including the extra cellular related kinase (ERK)/mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. Hyperactivation of the ERK MAPK cascade has been correlated with poorer prognosis in PDAC patients. We recently showed that direct pharmacological inhibition of ERK1/2 kinases with the ERK1/2-selective inhibitor SCH772984 inhibits the growth of PDAC cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. However, much like the response to ERK/MAPK pathway inhibitors acting at upstream nodes RAF or MEK, resistance to direct inhibition at the level of ERK will also inevitably arise. We performed a novel gain-of-function “Cancer Toolkit” (CTK) genetic screen to identify mechanisms of resistance to the ERK inhibitor SCH772984 in a panel of KRAS-mutant PDAC cell lines. Our CTK screen revealed that expression of either MAPK14 (p38α) or its upstream activator MKK6 could cause resistance to this and other ERK inhibitors. Because we identified activation of the p38 pathway as a mechanism of ERK inhibitor resistance, we tested whether inhibition of p38 would enhance sensitivity to SCH772984. We observed a &amp;gt;2 fold shift to a lower GI50 of SCH772984 upon cotreatment of a panel of established and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) PDAC cell lines with SCH772984 and the clinical candidate p38 inhibitor LY2228820. Consistent with this, we found that SCH772984 induced p38 signaling, marked by phosphorylation of the downstream substrate HSP27, and that combination treatment of SCH772984 and LY2228820 both reversed p38 pathway activation and enhanced PARP cleavage. Results of in vivo testing of the combination treatment as well as the mechanistic basis for p38-driven resistance will be reported. We propose that p38 is a mechanism of resistance to ERK inhibition in PDAC and that p38 inhibitors such as LY2228820 can overcome that resistance to enhance ERK inhibitor efficacy.

Group communication in the Amoeba distributed operating system (2002)

Primitives for broadcast communication that have been integrated with the Amoeba distributed operating system are introduced. The semantics of the broadcast primitives are simple and easy to understand, but are still powerful. The proposed primitives, for example, guarantee global ordering of broadcast messages. The proposed primitives are also efficient: a reliable broadcast can be done in just slightly more than two messages, so the performance is comparable to a remote procedure call. In addition, the primitives are flexible; user applications can, for example, trade performance against fault-tolerance.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Proactive Recovery of Electric Power Assets for Resiliency Enhancement (2015)

This paper presents a significant change in current electric power grid response and recovery schemes by developing a framework for proactive recovery of electric power assets with the primary objective of resiliency enhancement. Within the proposed framework, which can potentially present the next generation decision-making tool for proactive recovery, several coordinated models will be developed including: 1) the outage models to indicate the impact of hurricanes on power system components; 2) a stochastic pre-hurricane crew mobilization model for managing resources before the event; and 3) a deterministic post-hurricane recovery model for managing resources after the event. Proposed models will be extended to ensure applicability to a variety of electric power grids with different technologies and regulatory issues. The theoretical and practical implications of the developed models will push the research frontier of proactive response and recovery schemes in electric power grids, while its flexibility will support application to a variety of infrastructures, in response to a wide range of extreme weather events and natural disasters.

The interaction of bromodeoxyuridine with ribosomal RNA cistron redundancy in Drosophila (1984)

Abstract We demonstrate that Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)‐induced reductions of the ribosomal RNA cistrons (rDNAs) are observed in Drosophila virilis, and Drosophila busckii, but not in karyotypically normal adults or larvae of Drosophila melanogaster. However, BrdU does reduce the redundancy of the rDNAs of XO D melanogaster males, in which a compensatory response is evidenced in the untreated XO sibling controls. These results suggest that the BrdU‐rDNA interaction is specific to events which modulate rDNA redundancy. Further, both thymidine and deoxycytidine “reverse” the BrdU effect in D virilis, an observation which is inconsistent with current working hypotheses describing the mechanisms of BrdUs effects.
Chemokine Requirements for B Cell Entry to Lymph Nodes and Peyer's Patches (2002)

B cell entry to lymph nodes and Peyer's patches depends on chemokine receptor signaling, but the principal chemokine involved has not been defined. Here we show that the homing of CXCR4-/- B cells is suppressed in CCL19 (ELC)- and CCL21 (SLC)-deficient paucity of lymph node T cells mice, but not in wild-type mice. We also find that CXCR4 can contribute to T cell homing. Using intravital microscopy, we find that B cell adhesion to high endothelial venules (HEVs) is disrupted when CCR7 and CXCR4 are predesensitized. In Peyer's patches, B cell entry is dependent on CXCR5 in addition to CCR7/CXCR4. CXCL12 (SDF1) is displayed broadly on HEVs, whereas CXCL13 (BLC) is found selectively on Peyer's patch follicular HEVs. These findings establish the principal chemokine and chemokine receptor requirements for B cell entry to lymph nodes and Peyer's patches.
