On fiber-optic hydrophone noise-equivalent pressure (1979)

A recently published mathematical model of a fiber-optic hydrophone by Shajenko et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 64, 1286–1288 (1978); 66, 1557 (E) (1979)] implies that the limiting noise-equivalent pressure depends on the photodetector gain. Further analysis shows that the gain term in the equation for the noise is exactly cancelled out by another term also appearing in the equation. The model is rederived in this paper where it is shown that this dependence does not exist. The resulting expression for noise-equivalent pressure is consistent with the results presented in the latter of the references cited above.

High-speed real-time data acquisition for vector measuring current meters (1991)

The authors describe an integrated hardware and software approach used to provide real-time acquisition and display of vector measuring current meter (VMCM) data at high sample rates (0.5 Hz) with supporting data from other instruments of somewhat slower rates. The hardware component consisted of a new circuit board for the VMCM that captured the VMCM data output, stored it, and transmitted it at high speed in response to a request from the data acquisition computer. The data acquisition software ran on a Masscomp 5600 computer under the UNIX operating system. A central control program provided timing information to several software processes that handled serial data acquisition, display, and storage for one or more instruments. Deployed as a part of the Surface Waves Processes Program (SWAPP) experiment, the integrated data acquisition system successfully collected, processed, stored, and displayed data from 19 VMCMs and four other instruments over a 22-day period in February and March of 1990.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

On the Race of Worms, Alerts, and Patches (2008)

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> We provide an analytical framework for evaluating the performance of automatic patching systems. We use it to quantify the speed of patch or alert dissemination required for worm containment. Motivated by scalability and trust issues, we consider a hierarchical system where network hosts are organized into subnets, each containing a patch server (termed superhost). Patches are disseminated to superhosts through an overlay connecting them and, after verification, to end hosts within subnets. The analytical framework accommodates a variety of overlays through the novel abstraction of a minimum broadcast curve. It also accommodates filtering of scans across subnets. The framework provides quantitative estimates that can guide system designers in dimensioning automatic patching systems. The results are obtained mathematically and verified by simulation. </para>
위치기반 서비스(Location-based Service)의 프라이버시 위험 대응에 있어 사용자 감정(Affect)의 역할 (2020)

위험에 대한 인간의 반응은 인지적 요인뿐만 아니라 정서적 요인에도 유의미한 영향을 받는다는 경험적 연구에도 불구하고, 정보 프라이버시 연구에서는 감정적 요인의 역할이 제대로 규명되지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 정서적 관점에서 위치기반 서비스(Location-based service) 사용자의 프라이버시 위험에 대한 대응행위를 탐색하고자 한다. 구체적으로, 본 연구는 세 가지 유형의 개인정보 위협(수집, 해킹, 2차 사용), 두 가지 감정적 반응(걱정, 분노) 및 대응행위(지속적인 사용의도)의 관계를 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 위치기반 서비스(Location-based service) 사용자 552 명에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 특정 개인정보 위협에 대한 인식과 특정 감정적 반응의 결합이 지속적 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 데이터마이닝 기법 중 하나인 연관규칙(association rule)을 활용하여 분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과 위험에 대한 인식과 정서적 반응의 결합에 따라 사용의도에 차이가 나타났으며, 대체로 개인정보의 2차 사용에 대해 분노의 감정이 유발될 경우 사용의도가 가장 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 정보 프라이버시 사용자 연구에 감정적 요인을 포함함으로써, 기존의 인지적 접근방식 편향을 보완하고 프라이버시 대응행위에 대한 포괄적 이해를 제공한다는 점에서 학문적 의의가 있다.
Design Load Analysis of Current Power Rotor and Tower Interaction (2013)

Tidal-current power is now recognized as a clean power resource. The turbine blade is the fundamental component of a tidal current power turbine. The kinetic energy available within a tidal current can be converted into rotational power by turbine blades. While in service, turbine blades are generally subjected to cyclic fatigue loading due to their rotation and the rotor-tower interaction. Predicting the fatigue life under a hydrodynamic fatigue load is very important to prevent blade failure while in service. To predict the fatigue life, hydrodynamic load data should be acquired. In this study, the vibration characteristics were analyzed based on three-dimensional unsteady simulations to obtain the cyclic fatigue load. Our results can be applied to the fatigue design of horizontal-axis tidal turbines.
Protein kinases: A diverse family of related proteins (1987)

Abstract Homologies in amino‐acid sequence indicate that all known protein kinases share a conserved catalytic core, and, thus, belong to a related family of proteins that have evolved in part from a common ancestoral origin. This family includes cellular kinases, oncogenic viral kinases and their protooncogene counterparts, and growth factor receptors. One of the simplest and certainly the best characterized of the protein kinases at the biochemical level is the kinase that is activated in response to cAMP. The properties of this cAMP‐dependent protein kinase are reviewed with particular emphasis on the features of nucleotide binding and catalytic mechanism that are likely to be shared by all protein kinases. In spite of this conserved catalytic core, these kinases vary widely in overall structure and in the mechanisms by which each is regulated, and these differences also are compared.

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of halotoluenes by acidic hexacyanoferrate(III) (1982)

Abstract The oxidation of halotoluenes by hexacyanoferrate(III) in aqueous acetic acid containing perchloric acid (0.5 M ) at 50°C gave the corresponding aldehyde as the major product, and a small amount of polymeric material. The order with respect to each of the reactants—substrate, oxidant, and acid—was found to be unity. Increasing proportions of acetic acid increased the rate of the reaction. The reaction was influenced by changes in temperature, and the activation parameters have been evaluated. The Hammett plot yielded a ρ + value of −1.8. A kinetic isotope effect k H / k D = 6.0 has been observed. The pathway for the conversion of the halotoluenes to the products has been mechanistically visualized as proceeding through the benzylic radical intermediate, formed in the rate‐determining step of the reaction. The radical undergoes rapid conversion to the products.

Powerful, transferable representations for molecules through intelligent task selection in deep multitask networks (2020)

Chemical representations derived from deep learning are emerging as a powerful tool in areas such as drug discovery and materials innovation. Currently, this methodology has three major limitations - the cost of representation generation, risk of inherited bias, and the requirement for large amounts of data. We propose the use of multi-task learning in tandem with transfer learning to address these limitations directly. In order to avoid introducing unknown bias into multi-task learning through the task selection itself, we calculate task similarity through pairwise task affinity, and use this measure to programmatically select tasks. We test this methodology on several real-world data sets to demonstrate its potential for execution in complex and low-data environments. Finally, we utilise the task similarity to further probe the expressiveness of the learned representation through a comparison to a commonly used cheminformatics fingerprint, and show that the deep representation is able to capture more expressive task-based information.
Spherical codes for M-ary code shift keying (1989)

The author presents a number of spherical codes which can be implemented in practice and which are capable of providing significant coding gains on the AWGN channel. The geometrical approach to code design used also provides an alternative design method to the conventional algebraic approach. Other codes could easily be designed along similar lines, for a desired code rate or for some other desired characteristic. The principles given will help in the design of optimal codes. The approach has the additional advantage that it results in codes with a high degree of symmetry and a well-defined structure, which may be helpful in the design of a decoder.
Logging Solutions for Completion Optimization in Unconventional Resource Plays (2014)

Abstract Successful United States shale plays are often used as a template for the drilling and completion strategies for newly emerging shale plays around the world. However, studies of production logs in the Barnett Shale, the Marcellus Shale, and the Eagle Ford Shale have shown that a significant percentage of perforations clusters are not producing quantifiable amounts of fluid or gas (Miller, 2011). Case studies designed to address this have shown that addressing the heterogeneity experienced near the wellbore (Wutherich, 2012) in combination with more focus on landing and staying in the best quality reservoir rock (Baihly, 2010) lead to more productive wells with a higher degree of perforation performance. Many operators face the challenge of incorporating a completion optimization workflow into their completions that is both technically and cost effective. The desired completion system is one that incorporates as much information as needed for successful completion while being operationally unobtrusive. Refined techniques used to convey dipole sonic tools in cased laterals have been supplemented by a new generation of easily deployed tools capable of making density, neutron, resistivity, and sonic measurements in open hole. This gives operators a wide array of options that can fit into a completion optimization program. This paper reviews the concept of optimized plug and perforation style completions as compared to the more frequently used approach of geometrically spacing stages and perforations. Reservoir quality and completion quality variables were used to design engineered completions in a multi-well study of Eagle Ford shale wells. The study used a cost effective work flow that is repeatable and portable in order to increase the effectiveness of hydraulic fracture treatments. The workflow is shown to improve overall production and well economics by increasing perforation efficiency.
Role of Polycomb Complexes in Normal and Malignant Plasma Cells (2020)

Plasma cells (PC) are the main effectors of adaptive immunity, responsible for producing antibodies to defend the body against pathogens. They are the result of a complex highly regulated cell differentiation process, taking place in several anatomical locations and involving unique genetic events. Pathologically, PC can undergo tumorigenesis and cause a group of diseases known as plasma cell dyscrasias, including multiple myeloma (MM). MM is a severe disease with poor prognosis that is characterized by the accumulation of malignant PC within the bone marrow, as well as high clinical and molecular heterogeneity. MM patients frequently develop resistance to treatment, leading to relapse. Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are epigenetic regulators involved in cell fate and carcinogenesis. The emerging roles of PcG in PC differentiation and myelomagenesis position them as potential therapeutic targets in MM. Here, we focus on the roles of PcG proteins in normal and malignant plasma cells, as well as their therapeutic implications.
Embedded ultra-thin chips in flex (2005)

IMEC Ghent developed a technology for embedding ultrathin dies in flexible substrates. The package is polyimide based, and the total thickness of the package is only 50-60 µm. Ultrathin chips (thickness 20-30 µm, size 5x5 mm) are packaged in between 2 polyimide layers. Chip, PI layers and metal are so thin that the whole package is bendable.\nThe base substrate is a uniform polyimide layer, applied (spin coated and cured) on a rigid carrier. Then BCB is dispensed and will be used as adhesive layer for fixation of the chip. After placement of the ultrathin chip, the BCB is cured. Next, the second spin-on polyimide layer is applied and cured. Via’s to the contacts of the chip are laser drilled and the contact metal layer is sputtered and photolithographically patterned. This metal layer is providing a fan out to the contacts of the chips. Finally the whole package is released from the rigid substrate.\nThe embedded die can be used as a package: it can be solder assembled on PCB or flex. The ultrathin package can also be embedded in a stack of PCB layers, replacing naked dies. The advantage is that a fan-out metallization makes the alignment less critical. That way, chips with finer pitches can be used. The die can also be tested before embedding: this solves the KGD (‘Known Good Die’) problem.
New lower bounds for single row routing problems (2003)

New lower bounds for single-row routing problems are presented. The new lower bounds are based on a graph-theoretic representation in which an instance of the single-row routing problem is represented by three graphs, an overlap graph, a containment graph, and an interval graph. These bounds improve the best known existing bounds. Lower bounds are important for saving computational effort in routing since the single-row routing problem is NP-complete.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Update on the use of abdominal and thoracic endografts for treating aortic aneurysms (2016)

Endovascular abdominal and thoracic aneurysm repair has heralded a paradigm shift in the management of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms. Randomized controlled trials have suggested superior short-term and equivalent long-term outcomes of endovascular repair compared with open surgery. Existing endografts have undergone several modifications to meet anatomic challenges and improve patient results. In the past, endovascular repair has been limited to infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms and isolated thoracic aortic aneurysms. The advent of fenestrated and branched endografts have made endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal and juxtarenal aneurysms possible. Continued evolution of endograft technology will maximize the benefit and minimize complications in patients with a range of aneurysmal disease.
Comparison of Aptima and hybrid capture‐2 HPV tests and Pap test in the referral population in Japan (2021)

The Aptima human papillomavirus (HPV) test (APTIMA) detects E6-E7 mRNA in abnormal cells in the uterine cervix. To investigate the accuracy of APTIMA for cervical cancer screening in Japan, 423 subjects, mostly referrals with abnormal cytology or being followed up for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)1, were screened using two HPV tests, hybrid capture 2 (HC2) and APTIMA, and by the Pap test. Colposcopy was conducted in all subjects with a positive result in either test type. HPV genotyping was performed by Genosearch-31. A result of atypical squamous cells-undetermined significance (ASC-US) or worse on the HC2 test (ASC-US-HC2), and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or worse (LSIL+) on the Pap test, was regarded as positive. APTIMA (97.5%) was more sensitive than LSIL+ (85.1%) for detecting CIN2 or worse (CIN2+) (McNemar test; p = .0003), and more sensitive (98.6%) than ASC-US-HC2 (92.7%) for detecting CIN3+. APTIMA and HC2 had similar sensitivities. HPV genotyping revealed that CIN2/3 with high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) was overlooked in five cases by ASC-US-HC2, and in four cases by HC2, while no such lesions were missed by APTIMA. Thus, APTIMA might be superior to HC2 for primary HPV screening in Japan. One cancer case positive for HPV67 (potentially high risk, [pHR]) was overlooked by Pap test and both HPV tests, suggesting a need for a new HPV test able to detect pHR-HPV types.

Three Homopteran Pests of Citrus as Prey for the Convergent Lady Beetle: Suitability and Preference (2011)

The convergent lady beetle, Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is an important predator of soft-bodied insect pests in many regions of the United States, but generally uncommon in Florida citrus. Certain citrus producers in Florida recently initiated releases of commercially available H. convergens from California against the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, vector of Huanglongbing or citrus greening disease. However, there is little information on potential efficacy of this predator against the psyllid or other pests of citrus. Preference, development, and reproduction by H. convergens was evaluated on freshly collected nymphs of D. citri, brown citrus aphid Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, green citrus aphid Aphis spiraecola Patch, and frozen eggs of the flour moth Ephestia kuehniella Zeller. Larvae preferred D. citri over T. citricida in two-way choice tests and consumed more D. citri or A. spiraecola than T. citricida in no-choice tests. Adults consumed equal numbers of all three species in both tests. Development times of larvae at 25.5±0.05°C on A. spiraecola were longer than on the other three diets. Larval survival and pupation times did not differ among diets. Females lived longer than males irrespective of diet, and longevity of both genders was greatly increased on E. kuehniella compared with D. citri and A. spiraecola. Life table analysis indicated that H. convergens should increase on all three species, with a greater potential on psyllids than aphids. Further studies are warranted to assess establishment and persistence of this potential biological control agent in the Florida citrus environment.
Complex glass cutting allowed thanks to a reflectively generated Bessel beam with homogeneous energy distribution over the propagation axis (2022)

Complex touch panel displays development is requiring high performance glass cutting techniques. Femtosecond lasers, combined to Bessel beam generation based on reflective axicons already showed quality and efficiency improvements, while being able to handle high peak and average power. We described here recent developments for high quality Bessel beam generation using a fully reflective system. This complex Bessel beam presents an intensity plateau along its propagation axis, being twice more homogeneous and having a five times sharper tail compared to a classical Bessel beam. This development paves the way to complex and selective multi-layer glass cutting.

Augmentation of Primary ACL Reconstruction With a Modified Ellison Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis in High-Risk Patients: A Pilot Study (2021)

The use of the modified Ellison procedure as a LET augmentation of a primary ACL reconstruction to produce a low graft rupture rate appeared to be safe in a cohort considered to be at a high risk of reinjury. The procedure showed promise in terms of reducing further graft injuries.
Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Regulation of Gene Expression for Lipid Catabolism in Young Broilers by Butyrate Glycerides (2016)

Adversarial Rewards in Universal Learning for Contextual Bandits (2023)

We study the fundamental limits of learning in contextual bandits, where a learner's rewards depend on their actions and a known context, which extends the canonical multi-armed bandit to the case where side-information is available. We are interested in universally consistent algorithms, which achieve sublinear regret compared to any measurable fixed policy, without any function class restriction. For stationary contextual bandits, when the underlying reward mechanism is time-invariant, Blanchard et. al (2022) characterized learnable context processes for which universal consistency is achievable; and further gave algorithms ensuring universal consistency whenever this is achievable, a property known as optimistic universal consistency. It is well understood, however, that reward mechanisms can evolve over time, possibly adversarially, and depending on the learner's actions. We show that optimistic universal learning for contextual bandits with adversarial rewards is impossible in general, contrary to all previously studied settings in online learning -- including standard supervised learning. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for universal learning under various adversarial reward models, and an exact characterization for online rewards. In particular, the set of learnable processes for these reward models is still extremely general -- larger than i.i.d., stationary or ergodic -- but in general strictly smaller than that for supervised learning or stationary contextual bandits, shedding light on new adversarial phenomena.
Compact character controllers (2009)

We present methods for creating compact and efficient data-driven character controllers. Our first method identifies the essential motion data examples tailored for a given task. It enables complex yet efficient high-dimensional controllers, as well as automatically generated connecting controllers that merge a set of independent controllers into a much larger aggregate one without modifying existing ones. Our second method iteratively refines basis functions to enable highly complex value functions. We show that our methods dramatically reduce the computation and storage requirement of controllers and enable very complex behaviors.
