Explaining Recommendations Based on Feature Sentiments in Product Reviews (2017)

The explanation interface has been recognized important in recommender systems as it can help users evaluate recommendations in a more informed way for deciding which ones are relevant to their interests. In different decision environments, the specific aim of explanation can be different. In high-investment product domains (e.g., digital cameras, laptops) for which users usually attempt to avoid financial risk, how to support users to construct stable preferences and make better decisions is particularly crucial. In this paper, we propose a novel explanation interface that emphasizes explaining the tradeoff properties within a set of recommendations in terms of both their static specifications and feature sentiments extracted from product reviews. The objective is to assist users in more effectively exploring and understanding product space, and being able to better formulate their preferences for products by learning from other customers' experiences. Through two user studies (in form of both before-after and within-subjects experiments), we empirically identify the practical role of feature sentiments in combination with static specifications in producing tradeoff-oriented explanations. Specifically, we find that our explanation interface can be more effective to increase users' product knowledge, preference certainty, perceived information usefulness, recommendation transparency and quality, and purchase intention.
Distance control of rocket-propelled miniature exploration robot (2017)

A rocket-propelled miniature robot is capable to explore sites that planetary rovers cannot reach with efficiency in locomotion distance per mass. The technical difficulty is the significant variance in its flight distance because of two factors: sensitivity of error in the center of gravity with respect to the thrust axis, and solid rocket engines deviance in thrusting force. To overcome the issue, our flight distance control strategy includes flight trajectory forming, and the flight trajectory prediction including the opposing shot. With our method, we experimentally showed the flight distance to the forward direction improved by a factor of four in variance reduction.

NONLINEAR NANO-OPTICS OF SURFACE PLASMONS AT THE "PLANCK SCALE" (2006)

Simple dimensional analysis of typical nonlinear optical phenomena in metal nanoparticles indicates that qualitatively new effects may be expected in nonlinear optics of surface plasmon polaritons. It appears that some of these effects are similar to well-known effects of quantum gravitational theory.

A Collaborative Support System for the Review of Building Energy Data in the LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Project (1992)

The LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Project (MAP) collects a large volume of data pertaining to the analysis of building energy usage. Experts within the project review these data for accuracy. This review is collaborative, and is carried out via a traditional paper-driven process. Growth of the project causes an information saturation with insufficient time for the existing system of review. Powerful computing facilities are available to the project, and are currently being used to feed the paper-driven review process. Utilization of these facilities to provide a computer-supported collaborative environment for the review of building energy analysis data is feasible. This paper addresses the requirements such a system must meet, and proposes a design which can be implemented at minimal cost. The basic research questions raised focus on the criteria for user acceptance of and satisfaction with the proposed system.

Constitutive expression of bcl-2 in B cells causes a lethal form of lupuslike autoimmune disease after induction of neonatal tolerance to H-2b alloantigens. (1996)

The bcl-2 protooncogene has been shown to provide a survival signal to self-reactive B cells, but it fails to override their developmental arrest after encounter with antigen. Furthermore, constitutive expression of bcl-2 in B cells does not promote the development of autoimmune disease in most strains of mice, indicating that signals other than those conferred by bcl-2 are required for long-term survival and differentiation of self-reactive B cells in vivo. To further examine the factors that are required for the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease, we have assessed the effect of bcl-2 overexpression on the development of host-versus-graft disease, a self-limited model of systemic autoimmune disease. In this model, injection of spleen cells from (C57BL/6 x BALB/c)F1 hybrid mice into BALB/c newborn parental mice induces immunological tolerance to donor tissues and activation of autoreactive F1 donor B cells through interactions provided by allogeneic host CD4+ T cells. BALB/c newborns injected with spleen cells from (C57BL/6 x BALB/c)F1 mice expressing a bcl-2 transgene in B cells developed high levels of anti-single-stranded DNA and a wide range of pathogenic autoantibodies that were not or barely detectable in mice injected with nontransgenic spleen cells. In mice injected with transgenic B cells, the levels of pathogenic autoantibodies remained high during the course of the study and were associated with long-term persistence of donor B cells, development of a severe autoimmune disease, and accelerated mortality. These results demonstrate that bcl-2 can provide survival signals for the maintenance and differentiation of autoreactive B cells, and suggest that both increased B cell survival and T cell help play critical roles in the development of certain forms of systemic autoimmune disease.
Combining Two Detectors for Object Tracking (2013)

Tracking objects in the video sequences remains challenging problems such as occlusion and changes in appearance. Recently, the tracking-by-detection framework is widely used. We propose a simple and effective framework based on tracking-by-detection to determine the target position. The main idea is to combine Random Ferns and Implicit Shape Model . By combining these two detection methods, the position of a target can be tracked even when it is not fully appeared. Experiments show significant improvement in handling 3D-motion, fast appearance change and background clutter. We only focus on one target tracking problem.
Confidence Limits in Mass Balances with Application to Calculation of Pulp Washing Efficiency (2007)

For material balances based on collected samples an approach to calculating confidence limits on flows was proposed and applied to examples where the object was the calculation of pulp washing efficiencies. A range evaluation method for the modified Norden's efficiency factor of a general washing system, the Est factor, was thus developed based on material balances, statistical confidence intervals and measurements. The practical usage of the method was demonstrated in three counter-current pulp-washing applications where the efficiency of washing of dissolved dry solids was targeted.
Principle of Selectivity in Housing Rehabilitation Subsidies: Case Study in Hong Kong (2014)

Housing subsidies have to be selective given the tight public budget and need for public accountability. Nevertheless, inappropriately chosen screening criteria can result in inefficient resource allocation. This article attempts to empirically justify the selection or eligibility criteria of subsidy schemes for housing rehabilitation in Hong Kong where urban decay has been an age-old problem. It outlines the development of a statistical model designed to identify determinants of the dilapidation level of housing in the city. Based on the results of a dilapidation assessment on 390 multiowned apartment buildings using the Dilapidation Index, the extent to which the residential buildings under investigation were dilapidated was regressed against the eligibility criteria. The results revealed that older and unmanaged buildings were more derelict, with the development scale and rateable value correlated to the dilapidation level. The article concludes with policy considerations and practical implications.
[Our Experience in the Revision Surgery of THR.]. (2000)

The authors present their experience in the revision surgery of THR. Most often it was the case of aseptic loosening of the acetabulum, the femoral component or both components (67 %), lytic radioluscence or even lysis in the region of implants, fissures even fractures of the femur and septic loosening. They evaluate the results of revision surgeries of THR for a 5-year period in 106 patients after Merle dAubigne and Postel: excellent result was achieved in 33 %, good in 39 %, average in 19 % and a poor result in 9 %. The authors emphasize in case of primary surgery the importance of indication criteria, age of the patient, appropriate choice of the type of implant, evaluation of the immunological condition of the patient. In revision surgeries of aseptic loosening of the implant and bone defects of the medial acetabular wall efficient was mainly the application of bone grafts and cementless acetabular cup of the Harris-Galante, Zweymüller or Balgrist type. Periprothetic fractures of the femur should be treated by internal fixation and Wagner revision stem. In case of septic loosening the endoprosthesis was extracted or a two-phase revision surgery performed. Key word: THR revision surgery, aseptic loosening, bone defects, Wagner revision stem.

Collapse Behavior of KrF Resist Line Pattern Analyzed with Atomic Force Microscope Tip (2000)

A quantitative analysis of the adhesion property of a KrF line resist pattern of 170 nm width is carried out experimentally. By directly applying load to the top corner of the resist pattern with a microcantilever tip, a resist line pattern adhering on a substrate can be collapsed easily and is accompanied by residue formation. The dependency of line pattern collapse on load position along with line direction is investigated. At the load position 3 µm away from the pattern edge, the average load required for the pattern collapse is about 15 times larger than that of the load position at the pattern edge. Based on this result, one can confidently state that the pattern edge is more likely to collapse. In combination with the analysis of the internal stress distribution of the resist pattern, the load position dependency of the pattern collapse and the destruction mechanisms of the resist-substrate interface can be clarified. It is also clear that the crack formed at the pattern bottom affects the stress concentration and the residue shape.
DrugBank: A General Resource for Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Research (2010)

DrugBank (www.drugbank.ca) is an open-access, electronic drug database that integrates detailed drug data with comprehensive drug target and drug action information. First released in 2006 and updated on a regular basis every 6 to 12 months, DrugBank has become a very popular resource for medicinal chemists, bioinformaticians, cheminformaticians, pharmacists and physicians. Part of its appeal seems to lie in its rich data content along with the fact that all of its data is freely downloadable. Each drug entry in DrugBank contains more than 100 data fields with approximately half of the information being devoted to chemical or physico-chemical data about the drug and the other half devoted to molecular pharmacological, pharmacogenomic and biological data. DrugBank also catalogues information on food-drug interactions, drug-drug interactions, drug metabolism, drug metabolizing enzymes, adverse drug reactions and drug-target single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In addition to its rich data content, DrugBank also offers a number of powerful search utilities including chemical structure similarity searches, sequence similarity searches and advanced text queries. These search routines offer users a convenient route to explore complex pharmacological and pharmacogenomic questions in silico . This paper provides a general overview of DrugBank and describes how it can serve as a general resource for pharmacological, pharmacogenomic and pharmaceutical research.
High frequency of ras oncogene activation in all stages of human thyroid tumorigenesis. (1989)

Using polymerase chain reaction amplification and oligonucleotide probing, the activation of ras oncogenes in 24 benign and 20 malignant human thyroid neoplasms was examined. The frequency of ras oncogene activation was similar at all stages of tumorigenesis in this system, being found in 33% of adenomas overall (50% of microfollicular tumours), 53% of differentiated follicular carcinomas and 60% of undifferentiated carcinomas. This supports the contention that mutation of these oncogenes occurs at an early step in tumorigenesis. The predominant amino acid substitution in the differentiated tumours was glutamine to arginine at position 61 of Ha-ras or N-ras, but this mutation was not found in any of the undifferentiated tumours. It was noted that while transition mutations predominated in differentiated tumours (both benign and malignant), transversions were more common in the undifferentiated tumours.
IL23R (Interleukin 23 Receptor) Variants Protective against Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Display Loss of Function due to Impaired Protein Stability and Intracellular Trafficking (2016)

Genome-wide association studies as well as murine models have shown that the interleukin 23 receptor (IL23R) pathway plays a pivotal role in chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn disease (CD), ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and type 1 diabetes. Genome-wide association studies and targeted re-sequencing studies have revealed the presence of multiple potentially causal variants of the IL23R. Specifically the G149R, V362I, and R381Q IL23Rα chain variants are linked to protection against the development of Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis in humans. Moreover, the exact mechanism of action of these receptor variants has not been elucidated. We show that all three of these IL23Rα variants cause a reduction in IL23 receptor activation-mediated phosphorylation of the signal-transducing activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and phosphorylation of signal transducing activator of transcription 4 (STAT4). The reduction in signaling is due to lower levels of cell surface receptor expression. For G149R, the receptor retention in the endoplasmic reticulum is due to an impairment of receptor maturation, whereas the R381Q and V362I variants have reduced protein stability. Finally, we demonstrate that the endogenous expression of IL23Rα protein from V362I and R381Q variants in human lymphoblastoid cell lines exhibited lower expression levels relative to susceptibility alleles. Our results suggest a convergent cause of IL23Rα variant protection against chronic inflammatory disease.
T-cell receptor ligation induces distinct signaling pathways in naïve vs. antigen-experienced T cells (2011)

Naïve T lymphocytes display weaker and slower responses than antigen-experienced cells for reasons that are not well understood. Here we show that T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation induces distinct ERK and p38 phosphorylation patterns in naïve and antigen-experienced human T cells, and that these contribute to the differential responses shown by these cells. Specifically, TCR ligation triggers the activation of the ERK pathway in naïve cells. This phosphorylation of ERK attenuates subsequent calcium influx and accelerates the degradation of the signalsome. In contrast, anti-CD3 stimulation of experienced cells results in the phosphorylation of p38 via an association with Discs large (Dlg). Thus, there are distinct signaling pathways triggered by TCR ligation that impair signaling in naïve cells and facilitate it in antigen-experienced cells.
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and VIP receptors: Gene expression and growth modulation in medulloblastoma and other central primitive neuroectodermal tumors of childhood (1999)

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuromodulator and growth regulator in the developing nervous system. We analyzed 10 primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) cell lines, 29 central PNET (cPNET) and 17 tumors of the Ewing's sarcoma/peripheral PNET family (ESFT) using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Southern hybridization. Each of the 10 cell lines and 86.2% of cPNET expressed mRNA for VIP receptor 1 (VIPR1) compared to 52.9% of ESFT. VIPR2 was expressed in 75.8% of cPNET, in 28.6% of ESFT and in all 10 cell lines. cPNET demonstrated high-affinity binding of 125I-VIP on quantitative autoradiography and in competitive binding assays. VIP inhibited tumor cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in 5 of 7 PNET cell lines. We conclude that VIPR1 and VIPR2 are highly expressed in cPNET and demonstrate that VIP is a growth modulator in these tumors.
Coherent perfect absorption in deeply subwavelength films in the single-photon regime (2015)

The technologies of heating, photovoltaics, water photocatalysis and artificial photosynthesis depend on the absorption of light and novel approaches such as coherent absorption from a standing wave promise total dissipation of energy. Extending the control of absorption down to very low light levels and eventually to the single-photon regime is of great interest and yet remains largely unexplored. Here we demonstrate the coherent absorption of single photons in a deeply subwavelength 50% absorber. We show that while the absorption of photons from a travelling wave is probabilistic, standing wave absorption can be observed deterministically, with nearly unitary probability of coupling a photon into a mode of the material, for example, a localized plasmon when this is a metamaterial excited at the plasmon resonance. These results bring a better understanding of the coherent absorption process, which is of central importance for light harvesting, detection, sensing and photonic data processing applications.

Salt intake in kidney disease--a missed therapeutic opportunity? (2012)

Although significant progress has been made in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD), treatment is not yet satisfactory, particularly when it is started in the late stages of the disease. Novel modes of intervention to mitigate the burden of disease are required. The reduction of dietary salt intake (which is high in the industrialized world) is one such option. Better understanding of the deleterious effects of salt on renal and cardiovascular health is necessary to raise awareness of the importance of reduction of the salt content in food products. Therefore, we (i) review pathways through which high salt intake exerts damaging effects, (ii) provide an assessment of recent observational studies linking dietary salt intake to the progression of renal and cardiovascular disease and (iii) discuss the interaction between salt intake and rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system inhibitors, i.e. the first choice antihypertensive agents for the treatment of CKD.
Laser ablation of SiO2for locally contacted Si solar cells with ultra‐short pulses (2007)

Abstract We apply ultra‐short pulse laser ablation to create local contact openings in thermally grown passivating SiO 2 layers. This technique can be used for locally contacting oxide passivated Si solar cells. We use an industrially feasible laser with a pulse duration of τ pulse ∼ 10 ps. The specific contact resistance that we reach with evaporated aluminium on a 100 Ω/sq and P‐diffused emitter is in the range of 0·3–1 mΩ cm 2 . Ultra‐short pulse laser ablation is sufficiently damage free to abandon wet chemical etching after ablation. We measure an emitter saturation current density of J 0e = (6·2 ± 1·6) × 10 −13 A/cm 2 on the laser‐treated areas after a selective emitter diffusion with R sheet ∼ 20 Ω/sq into the ablated area; a value that is as low as that of reference samples that have the SiO 2 layer removed by HF‐etching. Thus, laser ablation of dielectrics with pulse durations of about 10 ps is well suited to fabricate high‐efficiency Si solar cells. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.
