Knowledge-Intensive, Interactive and Efficient Relational Pattern Learning (2006)

Abstract : This report describes the work to develop and evaluate state-of-the-art relational pattern learning algorithms for the Evidence Assessment, Grouping, Linking and Evaluation (EAGLE) program. The University of Wisconsin team consisted of leaders in relational data mining and relational machine learning, in particular inductive logic programming (ILP). Major contributions by the team included the development of an ILP system implemented entirely in database operations, FOIL-D, and a statistical relational learning (SRL) system that incorporates explicit probabilistic constraints into ILP, CLP(BN). CLP(BN) incorporates all the representational power of probabilistic relational models (PRMs) but uses an ILP approach to learning. Another major contribution is the definition and development of View Learning, an approach to change of representation for SRL. Though SRL systems are particularly well-suited to the goals of EAGLE - indeed, the field of SRL received much of its impetus for growth from EAGLE - these systems have been constrained to work with the input representation, typically a relational schema. View Learning in SRL permits the definition of a new schema - a new view of the database - better suited to the learning goals. This project also made advances within learning ensembles, including the DECORATE approach to diverse ensembles, the use of bagging within ILP, the GLEANER algorithm to construct ensembles of relational rules having varying trade-offs of precision and recall, and a parallel implementation of bagging in ILP. The project also contributed novel stochastic search algorithms for ILP.
A robust fourth order partial differential equation for image restoration (2012)

A hybrid fourth order partial differential equation (PDE) of nonlinear diffusion and bilateral filtering based image restoration is presented in this paper. The proposed model combines nonlinear diffusion fourth order PDEs with bilateral filtering and inherits their advantages, which not only preserves edge and robust to noise but also avoids the staircase effects. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed model and demonstrate its superiority to the existing models.
Reproductive Compatibility of Prairie and Montane Populations of Dermacentor andersoni (2008)

Genetic analysis of prairie and montane populations of Dermacentor andersoni (Stiles) originating from Alberta (AB) and British Columbia (BC), Canada, respectively, indicated limited gene flow (Nm < 1) and a large amount of genetic differentiation (Fst = 0.49) between the populations. The prairie population also had a greater level of genetic diversity. Mating experiments indicated that females of geographically heterogeneous crosses had similar engorgement and oviposition failure as homogenous crosses in the parental generation but that egg mass sterility was greatest for the AB♀ × BC♂ cross, intermediate for the homogenous crosses, and lowest for the BC♀ × AB♂ cross. The progeny of all crosses produced fertile eggs, and the only significant effect in the progeny generation was increased oviposition failure of the pure AB cross. Covariate analysis indicated that egg mass sterility was associated with BC males in the parental generation and that oviposition failure was associated with AB males and AB females in the progeny generation. The hazard of cumulative reproductive failure was increased with AB females in both generations, reduced for AB males in the parental generation, and increased with AB males in the progeny generation. Overall, heterogenous crosses had the greatest and least reproductive failure in the parental generation, but they were intermediate to the homogenous crosses in the progeny generation. The limited gene flow between the populations seems to have been sufficient to maintain reproductive compatibility.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Fungicidal Activity of Novel 1,5‐Diaryl‐1H‐Pyrazol‐3‐Oxy Derivatives Containing Oxyacetic Acid or Oxy(2‐thioxothiazolidin‐3‐yl)ethanone Moieties (2012)

A series of novel 1,5‐diaryl‐1 H ‐pyrazol‐3‐oxy derivatives containing oxyacetic acid or oxy(2‐thioxothiazolidin‐3‐yl)ethanone moieties were prepared from methyl 3‐arylacrylates via a serial of reactions included addition‐cyclization, oxidation, substitution, hydrolysis, and condensation. Their structures were confirmed by 1 H‐NMR, 13 C‐NMR, IR, and elemental analysis. In addition, the crystal structure of the compound 2‐(1,5‐diphenyl‐1 H ‐pyrazol‐3‐yloxy)‐1‐(2‐thioxothiazolidin‐3‐yl)ethanone was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Bioassay results indicated that the compound 2‐(5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1 H ‐pyrazol‐3‐yloxy)‐1‐(2‐thioxo‐thiazolidin‐3‐yl)ethanone exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against Gibberella zeae at the dosage of 10 μg mL −1 .
Chaotic Clock Driven Cryptographic Chip: Towards a DPA Resistant AES Processor (2020)

Designing a tamper-resistant microchip for small embedded systems is one of the urgent demands of the computing community nowadays due to the immense security challenges arising particularly in massively connected networks. One of the major threats to secure smart card chips is the ability of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Side Channel Attacks (SCA)</i> , such as Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) and Correlation Instantaneous Frequency Analysis (CIFA) to increase the vulnerability of the secured cipher text to attacks even when the state of the art <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)</i> is used. In this paper we explore the possibility of using chaotic clocking to protect AES chips against CPA and CIFA attacks. Our findings reveal that chaotic clocks, although not random, can effectively provide this protection with a low power envelope. Chaotic clocks derived from two different chaotic systems were used for testing in order to confirm the findings. Two FPGA boards running AES were driven using these chaotic clocks in order to prove the applicability of the proposed security enhancement technique.
Computation-Efficient Face Recognition Algorithm Using a Sequential Analysis of High Dimensional Neural-Net Features (2020)

The goal of the study is to increase the computation efficiency of the face recognition that uses feature vectors to describe facial images on photos and videos. These high-dimensional feature vectors are nowadays produced by convolutional neural networks. The methods to aggregate the features generated for each video frame are used to process the video sequences. A novel hierarchical recognition algorithm is proposed. In contrast to known approaches our algorithm seeks the nearest neighbors only among reference images of most reliable classes selected at the preceding stage to carry out the sequential analysis of a more detailed description level (with a greater dimensionality of the feature vector). At each stage principal components are compared, the number of the components being chosen according to a given portion of explained variations. Datasets like Labeled Faces in the Wild, YouTubeFaces, IARPA Janus Benchmark C and different neural-net face descriptors are used to compare the algorithm with other methods. In contrast with the conventional nearest-neighbor method, the proposed approach is shown to allow a 2- to 16-times reduction of the classifier running time.
Isoform‐specific interactions between meprin metalloproteases and the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (690.13) (2014)

Meprin metalloproteases are abundantly expressed in the brush border membranes of kidney proximal tubules. Meprins are also expressed in podocytes, skin, and leukocytes. Meprins have been implicated in the pathology of acute and chronic kidney injury. To understand how meprins impact kidney disease, it is important to characterize interactions between meprins and their substrates. This study evaluated isoform‐specific interactions between the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA C) and meprins. Kidney proteins from meprin αβ double knockout mice, as well as purified recombinant mouse PKA Cα, Cβ1, and Cβ2, were incubated with activated forms of either meprin A (α‐α) or meprin B (β‐β). Cleavage products were analyzed by Coomassie staining or Western blot analysis. To identify meprin cleavage sites on PKA C isoforms, full length PKA C and meprin cleaved fragments were trypsin digested, separated by C 18 nanoflow liquid chromatography‐MALDI, and analyzed by ProteinPilot. To characterize the kinetics of meprin B cleavage of PKA Cα, the K m and k cat were determined using Michaelis‐Menten enzyme kinetics. Meprin A only cleaved PKA Cβ1 while meprin B cleaved all three PKA C isoforms. Moreover, meprin cleavage of PKA Cα and Cβ2 significantly decreased their kinase activity, suggesting that the impact of meprins on kidney injury may be due, in part, to modulation of PKA signaling pathways.

Silver nanoparticles prepared by using poly(2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulphonic acid) as a surfactant (2014)

Silver nanoparticles were synthesised successfully using poly(2‐acrylamido‐2‐methylpropane sulphonic acid) (PAMPS) as a surfactant. Silver nanoparticles prepared through this approach possess high purity and narrow size distribution. The size distribution result shows that the diameters ranging from 78.82 to 105.709 nm can account for 76.41% of nanoparticles. UV–vis spectra were used to record the formation of silver nanoparticles in detail. It is found that PAMPS can play an important role in the formation and the colloidal stabilisation of silver nanoparticles because of the high affinity of sulphonic and amide with silver ions. The formation is summarised in detail. In addition, a potential application in nanocomposites of this method is explored. The Ag/polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite prepared using this method shows higher electrical conductivity than that prepared using other methods. This method is novel, convenient, efficient and environmental‐friendly, especially suiting those wastewaters treatment facilities containing silver ions. At the same time, it is also promising to prepare Ag/PANI or other metals/polymer composites via in‐situ polymerisation.

Mechanical properties of antiplasticized polymer nanostructures (2010)

The effects of antiplasticization on the mechanical properties of dense arrays of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beams less than 75 nm in width were investigated through observation of the deformation and collapse of the beams during lithographic processing. Collapse properties were characterized in terms of the critical aspect ratio of collapse (CARC) vs. the spacing between adjacent beams. Nanostructures blended with an antiplasticizing agent, tris(2-chloropropyl) phosphate (TCPP), exhibited a monotonic increase in CARC with increasing TCPP concentration, reaching a maximum at 5 wt% TCPP. Structures containing 5 wt% TCPP were observed to remain stable at aspect ratios up to 20% higher than those fabricated from pure PMMA. The CARC data were coupled with an elastic cantilever beam bending model to calculate the structures' elastic moduli, and these results were compared to three-point flexural tests on bulk TCPP-antiplasticized PMMA. The model predictions suggest that the elastic modulus of PMMA nanostructures is dimension-dependent, decreasing as the beam width is decreased below 50 nm. Antiplasticization is observed over all length scales considered in this work, and can be used to improve the mechanical properties of bulk or nanoscopic PMMA to suit end uses where a stiffer material is desired.

SIM cards for cellular networks : An introduction to SIM card application development (2011)

A SIM, Subscriber Identity Module, is the removable circuit board found in a modern cellular phone. It carries the network identity information and is a type of smart card which can also be found on payment cards (EMV), ID cards and so on. A smart card is basically a small computer, providing a safe and controlled execution environment. Historically smart card software was very hardware dependent and mostly developed by the manufacturers themselves. With the introduction of the open Java Card standard created by Sun Microsystems (Oracle) this was meant to change. However, information still remains scattered and is hard to obtain. This paper is meant to serve both as an introduction to the field and also as a good foundation for future studies. It begins with a theoretical discussion about smart card hardware and software architectures, network standards in the context of SIM cards, typical applications, coming trends and technologies and ends off with an overview of the Java Card standard. The following section discusses the supplied example SIM card application coupled with an introduction how to use the Gemalto Developer Suite for application development and testing. The paper ends with an extensive appendix section going in depth about some of the more important subjects.

Narrow Ka Bandpass Filters Made Of High Permittivity Ceramic By Layer-By-Layer Polymer Stereolithography (2006)

Electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) concept is used to create cavity by dimensioning a variant cell (or defect) inside a 2D EBG material. Compact high unloaded Q cavity (Qu ~ 2500) and narrow two and three pole filters are designed in Ka band. They are manufactured by layer-by-layer stereolithography and made out of high permittivity yttria-stabilized Zirconia. Measurements of the three pole filter working at 33.45GHz exhibits an 1.05% bandwidth and an insertion loss of 1.7dB. These specifications are close to the theoretical values of 33GHz (1.5% shift in central working frequency) and 0.95% bandwidth
Advanced path tracking control for off-road mobile robots (2008)

The growing social needs in terms of environmental and efficiency issues make the development of automated mobile robots in an off-road context more and more important.\nNevertheless, the accurate control of such robots in natural environment requires to take into account several uncertain phenomena, in particular to the varying grip conditions and various delays. If complex models are available to address such problems, their numerous parameters appearing to be variable in an off-road context make them hardly tractable to design an efficient control law. In this paper, an adaptive and predictive control algorithm, based on an extended kinematic model and dedicated to four wheeled steered mobile robots in off-road conditions is proposed for high accurate path tracking applications. The effects of variable low grip conditions are accounted in a kinematic representation thanks to additional variables updated by an observer. This allows the derivation of an adaptive backstepping control approach, able to preserve the accuracy of the path tracking despite of low grip conditions. In addition, a predictive curvature control allows to compensate for the large delays originated from the actuators used on off-road heavy vehicles. The relevance of theoretical developments detailed in this paper are investigated through full scale experiments on both an agricultural tractor (two steering wheels) and a Robucar TT mobile robot (four steering wheels).

A COMPREHENSIVE FACTOR ANALYSIS OF PERSONALITY QUESTIONNAIRE ITEMS: A TEST OF TWENTY PUTATIVE FACTOR HYPOTHESES (1977)

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate twenty putative factor hypotheses (PFH's) of personality using various rotation methods, both orthogonal and oblique. In order to obtain a representative item pool, the literature was surveyed, with special attention to factor analytic studies. The test sources provided 1726 non-repeated items, from which 400 items, representing 20 PFH's, were selected. A balanced questionnaire consisting of items reworded for general consistency of presentation and answer format was administered to a cross-continent sample from which 1003 complete data sets were obtained. Factoring of 401 variables was carried out by principal axis method followed by four rotation procedures: two orthogonal, two oblique. Results across the various solutions indicated the following factors: Sociability (SY), Adjustment-Emotionality (AE), Dominance (AD), Superego (SG), Hypochondriac-Medical (HM), Impulsiveness (IP), Cooperativeness-Considerateness (CC), Inferiority (IF), Persistence (PS), Trust vs. Suspicion (TS), General Activity (GA). In addition, other factors were found, which although of lesser variance, have been reported in the literature.
Sero-Prevalence of Rubella Virus IgM Antibodies among Pregnant Women Attending Muhammadu Abdullahi Wase Specialist Hospital Kano (2014)

Rubella is a generally mild illness and its serious complications are rare. Although a   major section of pregnant women are immuned, cases of rubella infection occur in Nigeria among pregnant women. This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of rubella virus IgM among obstetric population aged 15 “ 47 with an average mean of 28.5 years attending Antenatal Clinic Muhammad Abdullahi Wase Specialist Hospital Kano. Of the total 288 patients screened, 50 (17.4%) were reactive to rubella IgM. Out of 50 infected patients 20 (6.95%) were from 20 “ 24 years age bracket representing the most  susceptible age group while the infection rate was lowest (0.35%) in 45 “ 49 age group, even though when statistically analyzed rubella susceptibility is not age dependent (P = 0.894). Moreover, obstetric history and obstetric losses among various age groups with respect to rubella sero “ prevalence shows that of the 50 reactive patients, 35 had a previous abnormal obstetric history. Premature delivery was observed to be almost uniform across all the ages with a prevalence rate of (13.0%), still birth was having the same prevalence with that of premature delivery but with highest frequency in 20-24 years age group. However congenital anomalies was found to have least prevalence rate of (6.5%), neonatal death has prevalence rate of 10.5% with declining frequency towards the ages of 35-49 years (P=0.02). It was found that rubella infection still occurs and rubella susceptibility has no relationship with age group.
