Cost-Effective Resource Allocation for Deploying Pub/Sub on Cloud (2014)

Publish/subscribe (pub/sub) is a popular communication paradigm in the design of large-scale distributed systems. A fundamental challenge in deploying pub/sub systems on a data center or a cloud infrastructure is efficient and cost-effective resource allocation that would allow delivery of notifications to all subscribers. In this paper, we provide answers to the following three fundamental questions: Given a pub/sub workload, (1) what is the minimum amount of resources needed to satisfy all the subscribers, (2) what is a cost-effective way to allocate resources for the given workload, and (3) what is the cost of hosting it on a public Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider like Amazon EC2. To answer these questions, we formulate a problem coined Minimum Cost Subscriber Satisfaction (MCSS). We prove MCSS to be NP-hard and provide an efficient heuristic solution based on a combination of optimizations. We evaluate the solution experimentally using real traces from Spotify and Twitter along with a pricing model from Amazon. We show the impact of each optimization using a naive solution as the baseline. Using a variety of practical scenarios for each dataset, we also show that our solution scales well for millions of subscribers and runs fast.

Sickle cell disease is associated with decreased HIV but higher HBV and HCV comorbidities in US hospital discharge records: a cross-sectional study (2012)

The lower risk of HIV comorbidity, but not HCV and HBV, with SCD is consistent with the possibility that SCD has a unique effect in altering the risk of HIV infection or progression. Investigation of how the haemolytic and immunological changes of SCD influence HIV might lead to new therapeutic or preventive approaches.
Large-vessel involvement in granulomatosis with polyangiitis successfully treated with rituximab: A case report and literature review (2015)

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is primary necrotizing vasculitis, which predominantly affects small to medium vessels. Herein, we describe a case of a 60-year-old female with GPA who developed inflammatory wall thickening localized in the aortic arch, upper abdominal aorta, and pulmonary artery. The wall thickening in the large vessels and other GPA lesions such as lung nodules and orbital mass had failed to respond to high-dose glucocorticoids combined with cyclophosphamide; however, all were successfully treated with rituximab. Our literature review identified 24 cases of large-vessel involvement associated with GPA. Luminal stenosis, occlusion, or wall thickening were observed in 8, periaortitis in 11, and aneurysms in 5 cases. The most commonly affected vessel was the abdominal aorta (12 cases), followed by the thoracic aorta (6 cases), subclavian artery (4 cases), and internal carotid artery (4 cases). Glucocorticoids were used in 23 cases, 20 of which received combination therapy with cyclophosphamide. Surgical or endovascular therapies were performed in 10 cases with aneurysmal dilatation. This is the first case showing the potential efficacy of rituximab for refractory large-vessel involvement associated with GPA.
Conditioning of the diaphragm with phrenic nerve stimulation after prolonged disuse. (1984)

We studied the effect of electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve on the force frequency relationship of the disused diaphragm. A high quadriplegic who had been totally ventilator dependent for 6 months following a C2 fracture received bilateral phrenic nerve stimulators. During a 6-wk period of conditioning by electrical stimulation, the force of diaphragm contraction was assessed by measurement of transdiaphragmatic pressures during stimulation of each nerve over a range of frequencies. Tidal volume as well as rib cage and abdominal motion were studied. There was an upward shift of the force frequency relationship of the diaphragm over the 4-month period of phrenic nerve pacing using repetitive stimulus trains of 14 to 28 Hz. This improvement appeared to plateau at about 11 wk. The increase in contractility was accompanied by a progressive diminution in the stimulus frequency at which fusion of the contraction occurred. The disused diaphragm, like other skeletal muscle, may be conditioned with electrical stimulation.
The Determination of GC–MS Relative Molar Responses of Some n-Alkanes and their Halogenated Analogs (2012)

The dependence of relative response factors on the carbon atom number related to naphthalene has been investigated in homologous series by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Relative responses of some straight chain aliphatic n-alkanes and their halogenated derivatives (chlorine, bromine and iodine) were compared in the experiments. Linear correlations were found between the molecular structures; i.e., the carbon atom number and relative molar response in current homologous series. In conclusion, mass spectrometric detection combined with gas chromatography was less sensitive to n-alkanes than to their derivatives containing a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom. After n-alkanes, mass spectrometric responses increase in the order of 1-chloroalkanes, 1-bromoalkanes and 1-iodoalkanes. These results are in accordance with electron ionization cross section data for n-alkyl-derivatives. The relative molar responses of the individual CH(2) groups are between 0.171 and 0.178 in the homologous series. The increments of chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms to the relative molar responses are 0.081, 0.141 and 0.492, respectively. Based on these results, the addivity rule is valid for both halogen atoms and CH(2) groups in the case of mono-substituted n-haloalkanes. The results of this study show a significant departure from the additivity rule in the case of polyhalogenated alkanes and alkenes. However, the relative molar response can be calculated by means of simultaneously measuring other compounds. Further study is needed about how to influence the relative molar responses as a function of various experimental parameters.

Prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in very elderly people (2001)

The prevalence of neuropathologically defined AD is higher than that reported in most previous studies based on clinical diagnosis. The discrepancy between the neuropathologic and clinical diagnoses of AD in very elderly subjects may affect the results of population-based studies. The APOE genotype has a strong effect on the prevalence of neuropathologically defined AD, even after 90 years of age.
Property Testing of Planarity in the CONGEST model (2018)

We give a distributed algorithm in the \sf CONGEST model for property testing of planarity with one-sided error in general (unbounded-degree) graphs. Following Censor-Hillel et al. (DISC 2016), who recently initiated the study of property testing in the distributed setting, our algorithm gives the following guarantee: For a graph G = (V,E) and a distance parameter ε, if G is planar, then every node outputs \sf accept, and if G is ε-far from being planar (i.e., more than ε\cdot |E| edges need to be removed in order to make G planar), then with probability 1-1/\rm poly (n) at least one node outputs \sf reject. The algorithm runs in O(log|V|\cdot\poly(1/ε)) rounds, and we show that this result is tight in terms of the dependence on |V|. Our algorithm combines several techniques of graph partitioning and local verification of planar embeddings. Furthermore, we show how a main subroutine in our algorithm can be applied to derive additional results for property testing of cycle-freeness and bipartiteness, as well as the construction of spanners, in minor-free (unweighted) graphs.
Informatics-Based Approaches for Accelerated Discovery of Functional Materials (2016)

This chapter is aimed at readers interested in the topic of informatics-based approaches for accelerated materials discovery, but who are unfamiliar with the nuances of the underlying principles and various types of powerful mathematical tools that are involved in formulating structure–property relationships. In an attempt to simplify the workflow of materials informatics, we decompose the paradigm into several core subtasks: hypothesis generation, database construction, data pre-processing, mathematical modeling, model validation, and finally hypothesis testing. We discuss each task and provide illustrative case studies, which apply these methods to various functional ceramic materials.
Development of Hi-Speed X.509 Certification Path Validation System (2010)

A hi-speed system to execute certification path validation of the X.509 Certificate was developed. The algorithm used not only certificates and certificate revocation information but also certification path information as cached information in order to speed up transactions. The effect of it was confirmed by the performance experiment of the certification path validation system in test and real environment.
Trip coil signature analysis and interpretation for distribution circuit breaker condition assessment and diagnosis (2005)

A circuit breaker may be considered an ‘active link’, used to make and break an electrical circuit under conditions of varying severity. In the event of a circuit fault the circuit breaker must respond within tens of milliseconds in order to prevent damage to connected plant and safeguard personnel. As such, a circuit breaker will remain idle for the bulk of its lifetime, only being called into action periodically to interrupt load or fault current. This makes the circuit breaker one of the most safety critical, yet most unpredictable plant items on the power network. In addition, circuit breaker mal-operations account for a significant proportion of Customer Minutes Lost (CMLs), Customer Interruptions (CIs), plant replacement costs and safety issues. Conflicting regulatory and economic pressures to improve the performance, reliability and longevity of these, and other major plant items while reducing maintenance costs have forced many utilities to reassess their asset management and maintenance strategies [1]. This has led to significant investment in novel condition monitoring technologies, which in turn precipitate the need for new methods of analysing and interpreting new forms and increasing volumes of plant data.
Purchasing 'legal highs' on the Internet--is there consistency in what you get? (2010)

Whilst there was no variation in the composition of most legal highs supplied over 6 month, there was significant variation in the piperazine or cathinone content of one quarter of the products. This variation could be of clinical significance as the cathinone and piperazine products can be associated with significant toxicity.
Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (2011)

In treating uncomplicated abdominal aortic aenurysm, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been employed as a good alternative to open repair with low perioperative morbidity and mortality. However, the aneurysm can enlarge or rupture even after EVAR as a result of device failure, endoleak, or graft migration. We experienced two cases of aneurismal rupture after EVAR, which were successfully treated by surgical extra-anatomic bypass.
Live Attenuated B. pertussis as a Single-Dose Nasal Vaccine against Whooping Cough (2006)

Pertussis is still among the principal causes of death worldwide, and its incidence is increasing even in countries with high vaccine coverage. Although all age groups are susceptible, it is most severe in infants too young to be protected by currently available vaccines. To induce strong protective immunity in neonates, we have developed BPZE1, a live attenuated Bordetella pertussis strain to be given as a single-dose nasal vaccine in early life. BPZE1 was developed by the genetic inactivation or removal of three major toxins. In mice, BPZE1 was highly attenuated, yet able to colonize the respiratory tract and to induce strong protective immunity after a single nasal administration. Protection against B. pertussis was comparable to that induced by two injections of acellular vaccine (aPV) in adult mice, but was significantly better than two administrations of aPV in infant mice. Moreover, BPZE1 protected against Bordetella parapertussis infection, whereas aPV did not. BPZE1 is thus an attractive vaccine candidate to protect against whooping cough by nasal, needle-free administration early in life, possibly at birth.
Direct measurement of mammalian axonemal dynein's motor activity (2010)

Flagella and cilia play critical roles in mammalian and other eukaryotic life by providing propulsion for swimming cells and moving fluids across tissue surfaces. Flagellar/ciliary bending is caused by the sliding of doublet microtubules (MTs) past each other due to a molecular motor called dynein attached to one doublet MT (dMT) “walking” along an adjacent dMT. Due to dMTs being fixed at the same end, this translocation produces a bend in the whole structure. While it is clear how the dynein molecules cause a bending of the dMTs, the mechanism underlying the generation of propagated waves of flagellar/ciliary motion has yet to be fully understood, especially with regard to the magnitude and regulation of the forces produced by dynein. Several outside studies have shown that some of dynein's mechanical properties such as velocity of MT gliding and force generation seem to be regulated by its multiple nucleotide binding sites. To better understand dynein’s role in coordinated flagellar motion, we developed two in situ assays: one in which polymerized MTs glide along dMTs extruded from disintegrated bovine sperm flagella and an optical tweezers assay which is identical in geometry and environment except the MT is held in an optical trap to measure displacements and forces rather than velocities. The exposed, active dynein in each assay remain attached to their respective dMTs, allowing translocation of single MTs to be observed in an environment with direct control of chemical conditions. In the gliding assay, translocation of MTs by dynein exhibits Michaelis-Menten type kinetics, with Vmax = 4.7 ± 0.2 μm/sec and Km = 124 ± 11 μM. The character of MT translocation is variable, including smooth gliding, stuttered motility, oscillations, buckling, complete dissociation from the dMT, and occasionally movements reversed from the physiologic direction. The gliding velocity is independent of the number of dynein motors present and shows no indication of increased activity due to ADP regulation. In the optical tweezers assay, average force was found to be independent of [ATP] and [ADP] and distances of dynein’s excursions indicates non-processivity. These combined results reveal dynein’s motor activity, individually and cooperatively, within mammalian flagella.
Transformation of Actinomyces spp. by a gram-negative broad-host-range plasmid (1994)

The gram-negative broad-host-range vector pJRD215 was transferred by electroporation into strains of Actinomyces viscosus or Actinomyces naeslundii at efficiencies which ranged from 10(2) to 10(7) transformants per microgram of plasmid DNA. The Actinomyces transformants expressed pJRD215-encoded resistance to kanamycin and streptomycin. Moreover, the transforming plasmid DNA had not undergone any deletions or rearrangements, nor had it integrated into the genomes of these strains.

Recording the sound of musical instruments with FBGs: the photonic pickup (2009)

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have previously found many applications as strain and vibration sensors. Here we demonstrate that they may also be employed as pickups for musical instruments and, specifically, for acoustic guitars and solid-body electric guitars. By fixing the FBG to a vibrating part of the instrument's body, e.g., near the bridge of an acoustic guitar or on the headstock of a solid-body guitar, a number of sound recordings were made and compared to those obtained with either piezoelectric pickups or with magnetic induction pickups. The change in attenuation at the FBG's midreflection point is found to be correlated to the amplitude of vibration of the vibrating structure of the instrument. Acoustic frequency spectrum analysis supports the observation that the FBG acoustic transducer has a frequency response range that is comparable to those of commercial piezoelectric pickups. The recordings made with FBG pickups were of comparable quality to those obtained with other recording methods.
Seed-mediated growth of palladium nanocrystals on ITO substrate and theircharacterization (2013)

In recent years, the seed-mediated growth method has been suggested as a new strategy to attach and grow metal nanoparticles on conducting substrates, such as indium tin oxide (ITO). In this method, Palladium nanoparticles can be fixed via a simple two-step immersion of the substrate into two different solutions at room temperature. In the first step, the nano-seed particles are inferred to attach on the surfaces by just immersing the substrates into the metal colloid solution (the seed solution) via the physi-sorption. In the second step, gradual nanocrystal growth from the nano-seed particles attached on the substrate is considered to occur via the chemical reduction of metal ions in the solution containing surfactants (the growth solution). After the growth treatment for 24 hr, PdNPs grew up to 60-80 nm, exhibiting crystal-like appearances. Thus prepared PdNPs tend to stick each other, so that the dense gathering of PdNPs was observed on the ITO surfaces. In present study, some details of our preparation methods of palladium nanoparticle-attached ITO electrodes, optical and electrochemical behaviour, other characterization like AFM, SEM, XRD of thus fabricated materials are summarized
Increased Circulating Concentrations and Augmented Myocardial Extraction of Osteoprotegerin in Heart Failure Due to Left Ventricular Pressure Overload (2007)

HF due to LV pressure overload in AS increases circulating OPG and augments OPG extraction by the heart and peripheral tissues. OPG may be involved in the pathogenesis of HF and could serve as a useful biomarker in HF due to LV pressure overload.
Formation of MnSe in the Vicinity of Surface of Silicon Steel (1985)

Formation of MnSe in the vicinity of the steel surface during annealing in N2 gas after final annealing and subsequent coating treatments of low iron loss grain oriented silicon steel containing MnSe, Sb and Mo as inhibiters was investigated. The morphology of MnSe was observed by a transmission electron microscope with extraction replicas, and the composition of MnSe was determined by means of energy dispersive X-ray analysis, electron probe microanalysis and Auger electron spectroscopy. The results are as follows.(1) MnSe is formed preferentially in the vicinity of the steel surface during the annealing in N2 for the duration more than 600 s in the temperature range between 1173 and 1223 K.(2) MnSe with thin plate-like morphology is formed parallel to the sheet surface.(3) MnSe contains Mn, Se and S, or Ti in precipitates themselves.(4) The orientation relationship between MnSe and silicon steel matrix is considered to satisfy the relation of (012)MnSe\varparallel(110)α and [100]MnSe\varparallel[001]α.
Oxidative Addition Complexes as Precatalysts for Cross-Coupling Reactions Requiring Extremely Bulky Biarylphosphine Ligands (2017)

In this report, we describe the application of palladium-based oxidative addition complexes (OACs) as effective precatalysts for C-N, C-O, and C-F cross-coupling reactions with a variety of (hetero)arenes. These complexes offer a convenient alternative to previously developed classes of precatalysts, particularly in the case of the bulkiest biarylphosphine ligands, for which palladacycle-based precatalysts do not readily form. The precatalysts described herein are easily prepared and stable to long-term storage under air.
