Fetal ECG waveform analysis should improve fetal surveillance in labour. (1990)

Fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings were obtained from a scalp electrode with maternal thigh as reference and used for ST waveform analysis in 201 patients in labour. Nearly 45% had suspicious or abnormal FHR traces whilst only 27% had T/QRS ratio greater than 0.25 (mean +/- 2 SD). A normal T/QRS ratio identified 99.3% of fetuses with normal buffering capacity in cord artery blood. Of 13 infants with a cord artery blood pH less than 7.15, standard bicarbonate was less than 15.0 mmol/l in five who had an average T/QRS ratio less than 0.25 throughout labour. Of the eight with respiratory acidosis, five had an increase in T/QRS ratio greater than 0.25 for longer than 20 minutes prior to delivery, in two the ratio increased during the last few minutes and one had no change (pH 7.14). Persistent elevation of T/QRS in the first stage of labour identified those with decrease in buffer capacity in cord arterial blood (sensitivity of 94.1%). Acute hypoxia was recognized by the rapid rise in T/QRS. The specificity of T/QRS to identify fetuses at risk increased by combining the ST waveform analysis with FHR changes.

In this dissertation, an extensive overview of the state of the art in implementations, accompanying definitions and their analysis is provided. The concept of the reflective-PUF is presented as a product security solution. The viability of the concept, its evaluation and the requirements of such a system is explored.
Data from A Prospective PCR-Based Screening for the <i>EML4-ALK</i> Oncogene in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;EML4-ALK&lt;/i&gt; is a lung cancer oncogene, and ALK inhibitors show marked therapeutic efficacy for tumors harboring this fusion gene. It remains unsettled, however, how the fusion gene should be detected in specimens other than formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. We here tested whether reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR)-based detection of &lt;i&gt;EML4-ALK&lt;/i&gt; is a sensitive and reliable approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; We developed a multiplex RT-PCR system to capture &lt;i&gt;ALK&lt;/i&gt; fusion transcripts and applied this technique to our prospective, nationwide cohort of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Japan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; During February to December 2009, we collected 916 specimens from 853 patients, quality filtering of which yielded 808 specimens of primary NSCLC from 754 individuals. Screening for &lt;i&gt;EML4-ALK&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;KIF5B-ALK&lt;/i&gt; with our RT-PCR system identified &lt;i&gt;EML4-ALK&lt;/i&gt; transcripts in 36 samples (4.46%) from 32 individuals (4.24%). The RT-PCR products were detected in specimens including bronchial washing fluid (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 11), tumor biopsy (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 8), resected tumor (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 7), pleural effusion (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 5), sputum (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 4), and metastatic lymph node (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 1). The results of RT-PCR were concordant with those of sensitive immunohistochemistry with ALK antibodies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; Multiplex RT-PCR was confirmed to be a reliable technique for detection of &lt;i&gt;ALK&lt;/i&gt; fusion transcripts. We propose that diagnostic tools for &lt;i&gt;EML4-ALK&lt;/i&gt; should be selected in a manner dependent on the available specimen types. FISH and sensitive immunohistochemistry should be applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, but multiplex RT-PCR is appropriate for other specimen types. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 18(20); 5682–9. ©2012 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

[Hematogenous metastasis in pancreatic cancer]. (1985)

Out of 248 pancreatic cancer patients, 82 with hematogenous metastases were clinicopathologically analyzed. The incidence of hematogenous metastases on laparotomy were 31% in the liver, 1.2% in the lung, and 0.4% in the adrenal gland and navel. The incidence of liver metastasis, which was present in 23% and 46% of the patients with carcinoma of the head of the pancreas and of the body and tail of the pancreas, respectively, was higher than that of carcinomas of the other digestive organs. In the autopsy findings of the cases submitted to tumor resection, early metastases to the liver, lung, cerebellum and ovary were recognized to have occurred postoperatively. A higher rate of liver metastasis with lymph node involvement in the early stage of the disease was peculiar to pancreatic cancer.
Magnetization Induced by Optical Pumping in Antiferromagnetic MnF2 (1971)

We have generated magnetization in antiferromagnetic Mn${\mathrm{F}}_{2}$ by selectively pumping the lowest $^{6}A_{1}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{4}T_{1}$ sublattice excitons (or exciton-magnon band) with a pulsed, tunable dye laser. Intersublattice relaxation processes were studied by observing the creation and decay of specific excitations, as induction signals. The exciton relaxation time decreases with increasing temperature and pumping power. We interpret this as intersublattice relaxation assisted by thermally excited magnons.
Anti‐Inflammatory Activity of the Methanol Extract of Moutan Cortex in LPS‐Activated Raw264.7 Cells (2006)

Moutan Cortex (MCE) has been used in traditional medicine to remove heat from the blood, promote blood circulation and alleviate blood stasis. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of MCE on regulatory mechanisms of cytokines and nitric oxide (NO) involved in immunological activity of Raw264.7 cells. Cells were pretreated with methanolic extracts of MCE, and further cultured for an appropriate time after lipopolyssacharide (LPS) addition. During the entire experimental period, 0.1 and 0.3 mg ml(-1) of MCE had no cytotoxicity. In these concentrations, MCE inhibited the production of NO and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and phosphorylated inhibitor of kappa Bal pha (p-I kappa Bal pha), and the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B). MCE also reduced the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the Raw264.7 cells that were activated by LPS. These results demonstrate that MCE has anti-inflammatory effects through the inhibition of iNOS and COX-2 expression by suppressing the phosphorylation of I-kappa Bal pha and the activation of NF-kappa B.
High Quality Web-Application Development on Java EE Platform (2009)

Quality of Web-applications plays major role in its success. And the high quality Web-application is really possible by following high quality Web engineering process. The use of strong Web-application architecture with strong development platform not only make Web-applications robust and of high quality but also give Web-application an ability to meet changing and demanding customer requirements in efficient manner. A Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern has remained fundamental architectural design pattern even after great evolution in architectures of user interactive applications. In this paper, we discuss the support for achieving quality attributes for the Web-application, the support for Web-application development process and the support for meeting demanding features of Web application on Java EE platform. This contribution will help a lot for small scale as well as large scale Web-application development and for moulding Web-application into a future's high quality finished product from inception phase itself.
Success Stories and Challenges Ahead in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Gene Therapy: Hemoglobinopathies as Disease Models (2021)

Gene therapy is a relatively novel field that amounts to around four decades of continuous growth with its good and bad moments. Currently, the field has entered the clinical arena with the ambition to fulfil its promises for a permanent fix of incurable genetic disorders. Hemoglobinopathies as target diseases and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as target cells of genetic interventions had a major share in the research effort toward efficiently implementing gene therapy. Dissection of HSC biology and improvements in gene transfer and gene expression technologies evolved in an almost synchronous manner to a point where the two fields seem to be functionally intercalated. In this review, we focus specifically on the development of gene therapy for hemoglobin disorders and look at both gene addition and gene correction strategies that may dominate the field of HSC-directed gene therapy in the near future and transform the therapeutic landscape for genetic diseases.
An Effective Desiccant System to Regulate the Humidity Inside the Chambers of the Solid Dosage Forms (2007)

The most common way to protect moisture-sensitive pharmaceutical powders is to utilize protective packaging. However, the most convenient package materials are all permeable to water molecules to some extent and limited protection is normally achieved with this arrangement even though desiccants are employed. In the present study we introduce a novel system that can regulate the internal humidity of the containers used with solid dosage forms for a desired time at a requested level. Instead of the widely used solid adsorbents the system utilizes saturated salt solutions loaded in desiccant bags made of various polymer materials with appropriate permeation properties. By utilizing salt solutions the size of the desiccant bag can be further reduced. A wide variety of commonly used powder chambers and desiccant bags are tested, proving the effectiveness of the introduced system.
Incremental constraint projection methods for variational inequalities (2014)

We consider the solution of strongly monotone variational inequalities of the form F (x ∗ ) ′ (x−x ∗ ) ≥ 0, for all x ∈ X. We focus on special structures that lend themselves to sampling, such as when X is the intersection of a large number of sets, and/or F is an expected value or is the sum of a large number of component functions. We propose new methods that combine elements of incremental constraint projection and stochastic gradient. We analyze the convergence and the rate of convergence of these methods with various types of sampling schemes, and we establish a substantial rate of convergence advantage for random sampling over cyclic sampling. Key words: random projection, alternate/cyclic projection, variational inequalities, stochastic gradient, incremental method, sampling, stochastic approximation. 1
Cloud-based big data analytics platform using algorithm templates for the manufacturing industry (2019)

Specialised knowledge on analytics algorithms is necessary to conduct a data analysis; thus, there are limits to how a manufacturing manager who is not a data analysis expert conducts analysis tasks. This study proposed a manufacturing-specialised data analytics algorithm template and a cloud-based big data analytics platform to resolve such a problem and to enable those not specialising in data analysis to perform analysis tasks. The manufacturing-specialised data analytics algorithm template is a concept in which data characteristics are considered according to manufacturing problems to systematically provide the pre-processing, data mining, and visualisation algorithms required for conducting analysis tasks. A cloud-based big data analytics platform is designed to use algorithm templates for analysis and is capable of not only storing and managing data per company but also creating analysis models and confirming results. The platform consists of the following: inter-connected middleware, data storage, a batch manager, a data analytics modeller, and an analysis engine. This study applied the proposed manufacturing-specialised data analytics algorithm template and cloud-based big data analytics platform to the machine problem-solving process executed by mobile phone component production companies. It also sought study limitations and offered development plans for future research.
Volumetric anatomical modeling from medical images (2005)

Many clinical applications, such as surgical planning, require volumetric models of anatomical structures represented as a set of tetrahedra. A method of constructing anatomical models from medical images is presented. The method starts with a set of contours segmented from the medical images by a clinician and produces a model that has high fidelity with the contours. Unlike most modeling methods, the contours are not restricted to lie on parallel planes. The main steps are a 3D Delaunay tetrahedralization, culling of non-object tetrahedra, and refinement of the tetrahedral mesh. The result is a high-quality set of tetrahedra whose surface points are guaranteed to match the original contours. The key is to use the distance-map and bit-volume structures that were created along with the contours. The method is demonstrated on both computed tomography and 3D ultrasound data. Models of 170,000 tetrahedra are constructed on a standard workstation in approximately ten seconds.

Deep expectation for estimation of fingerprint orientation fields (2017)

Estimation of the orientation field is one of the key challenges during biometric feature extraction from a fingerprint sample. Many important processing steps rely on an accurate and reliable estimation. This is especially challenging for samples of low quality, for which in turn accurate preprocessing is essential. Regressional Convolutional Neural Networks have shown their superiority for bad quality samples in the independent benchmark framework FVC-ongoing. This work proposes to incorporate Deep Expectation. Options for further improvements are evaluated in this challenging environment of low quality images and small amount of training data. The findings from the results improve the new algorithm called DEX-OF. Incorporating Deep Expectation, improved regularization, and slight model changes DEX-OF achieves an RMSE of 7.52° on the bad quality dataset and 4.89° at the good quality dataset at FVC-ongoing. These are the best reported error rates so far.
Providing granted rights with anonymous certificates (2008)

The electronic media of today requires users to authenticate or provide identifying properties which is usually done with login credentials or to present digitally signed certificates. Certificates are issued by a trusted certificate authority, which knows the content of a certificate and the identity of the owner. To provide a maximum level of privacy the identity of the owner must be separated from the certificate. Neither the service shall be able to determine the identity of the owner nor shall the certificate authority track the certificate throughout its use. The certificate authority may issue certificates with a known content for a pseudonymous identity that cannot be linked to the real identity of the owner. Hence the content is to be openly signed whereas the pseudonym is signed blindly. Both items have to be interweaved to ensure that the content is valid for this pseudonym only as well as to prevent from forging a certificate. After unblinding the pseudonym the certificate can be presented for use. Now the service can validate the content and the user can prove his ownership of the pseudonym in the certificate. Even with collaboration between the service and the certificate authority it is impossible to map the presented certificate to a certain identity. Thus, our approach allows a fully anonymous use of services.
A Ubiquitous Computing environment for aircraft maintenance (2004)

Ubiquitous Computing bears a high potential in the area of aircraft maintenance. Extensive requirements regarding quality, safety, and documentation as well as high costs for having aircrafts idle during maintenance demand for an efficient execution of the process. Major weaknesses that impact the efficiency of the process are an inadequate tool management, human erros, and labour intensive manual documentation and check procedures. In this paper we propose a solution using ubiquitous computing technologies that improves aircraft maintence and provides a high level of usability. A scenario, a systems architecture, and maintenance applications are presented. The Smart Toolbox and the Smart Tool Inventory were implemented as proof of concept.
Effect of H Doping on The Structural and Magnetic Properties in ZnCoO Diluted Magnetic Semiconductor Thin Films (2012)

H∶ZCO thin films were prepared with different qv(H2)∶qv(Ar+H2) by using submolecule doping technique,where the magnetic sputtering of Co and ZnO were alternatively performed onto silicon substrates.The effect of qv(H2)∶qv(Ar+H2) on the structural and magnetic properties in films was investigated.All the prepared thin films have a c-axis preferential orientation,and the intensity of(002) diffraction peak decreases with the increase of qv(H2)∶qv(Ar+H2) in films because the doping hydrogen can passivate the dangling bonds at the surfaces and grain boundaries.Magnetic measurement shows that the ferromagnetism is enhanced with the qv(H2)∶qv(Ar+H2) increasing.XPS results exhibit that the relative content of Co metal clusters gradually increases,and the relative content of oxidized Co ions gradually decreases with the increase of H2 ratio.According to the above results,it is suggested that the ferromagnetism in H∶ZCO thin film originates from Co metal clusters,and more oxidized Co ions is reduced to Co metal clusters with H2 doping,therefore the ferromagnetism is enhanced.
Flow-scanning optical tomography (2014)

We present a 3D tomography technique for in vivo observation of microscopic samples. The method combines flow in a microfluidic channel, illumination through a slit aperture, and a Fourier lens for simultaneous acquisition of multiple perspective angles in the phase-space domain. The technique is non-invasive and naturally robust to parasitic sample motion. 3D absorption is retrieved using standard back-projection algorithms, here a limited-domain inverse radon transform. Simultaneously, 3D differential phase contrast images are obtained by computational refocusing and comparison of complementary illumination angles. We implement the technique on a modified glass slide which can be mounted directly on existing optical microscopes. We demonstrate both amplitude and phase tomography on live, freely swimming C. elegans nematodes.

Effects of extrinsic point defects in phosphorene: B, C, N, O, and F adatoms (2015)

Phosphorene is emerging as a promising 2D semiconducting material with a direct band gap and high carrier mobility. In this paper, we examine the role of the extrinsic point defects including surface adatoms in modifying the electronic properties of phosphorene using density functional theory. The surface adatoms considered are B, C, N, O, and F with a [He] core electronic configuration. Our calculations show that B and C, with electronegativity close to P, prefer to break the sp3 bonds of phosphorene and reside at the interstitial sites in the 2D lattice by forming sp2 like bonds with the native atoms. On the other hand, N, O, and F, which are more electronegative than P, prefer the surface sites by attracting the lone pairs of phosphorene. B, N, and F adsorption will also introduce local magnetic moment to the lattice. Moreover, B, C, N, and F adatoms will modify the band gap of phosphorene, yielding metallic transverse tunneling characters. Oxygen does not modify the band gap of phosphorene, and a diode like tunneling behavior is observed. Our results therefore offer a possible route to tailor the electronic and magnetic properties of phosphorene by the adatom functionalization and provide the physical insights of the environmental sensitivity of phosphorene, which will be helpful to experimentalists in evaluating the performance and aging effects of phosphorene-based electronic devices.
