Lending Orientation to Neural Networks for Cross-view Geo-localization (2019)

This paper studies image-based geo-localization (IBL) problem using ground-to-aerial cross-view matching. The goal is to predict the spatial location of a ground-level query image by matching it to a large geotagged aerial image database (e.g., satellite imagery). This is a challenging task due to the drastic differences in their viewpoints and visual appearances. Existing deep learning methods for this problem have been focused on maximizing feature similarity between spatially close-by image pairs, while minimizing other images pairs which are far apart. They do so by deep feature embedding based on visual appearance in those ground-and-aerial images. However, in everyday life, humans commonly use {\em orientation} information as an important cue for the task of spatial localization. Inspired by this insight, this paper proposes a novel method which endows deep neural networks with the `commonsense' of orientation. Given a ground-level spherical panoramic image as query input (and a large georeferenced satellite image database), we design a Siamese network which explicitly encodes the orientation (i.e., spherical directions) of each pixel of the images. Our method significantly boosts the discriminative power of the learned deep features, leading to a much higher recall and precision outperforming all previous methods. Our network is also more compact using only 1/5th number of parameters than a previously best-performing network. To evaluate the generalization of our method, we also created a large-scale cross-view localization benchmark containing 100K geotagged ground-aerial pairs covering a city. Our codes and datasets are available at \url{https://github.com/Liumouliu/OriCNN}.
Time of arrival estimation in pulsar-based navigation systems (2015)

This paper focuses on the Time of Arrival (TOA) estimation problem related to new application of pulsar signals for airplane-based navigation. The aim of the paper is to propose and evaluate a possible algorithm for TOA estimation that consists of epoch folding, filtering, CFAR detection, cross-correlation and TOA calculation. The TOA estimation algorithm proposed is verified using real experimental data obtained from the Westerbork radio observatory in The Netherlands. The performance of the proposed TOA algorithm is evaluated in terms of SNR at the cross-correlator input and the TOA accuracy.
Building semantic perceptron net for topic spotting (2001)

This paper presents an approach to automatically build a semantic perceptron net (SPN) for topic spotting. It uses context at the lower layer to select the exact meaning of key words, and employs a combination of context, co-occurrence statistics and thesaurus to group the distributed but semantically related words within a topic to form basic semantic nodes. The semantic nodes are then used to infer the topic within an input document. Experiments on Reuters 21578 data set demonstrate that SPN is able to capture the semantics of topics, and it performs well on topic spotting task.
Crystal Structure of a C-terminal Fragment of Growth Arrest-specific Protein Gas6 (2002)

Receptor tyrosine kinases of the Axl family are activated by Gas6, the product of growth arrest-specific gene 6. Gas6-Axl signaling is implicated in cell survival, adhesion, and migration. The receptor-binding site of Gas6 is located within a C-terminal pair of laminin G-like (LG) domains that do not resemble any other receptor tyrosine kinase ligand. We report the crystal structure at 2.2-A resolution of a Gas6 fragment spanning both LG domains (Gas6-LG). The structure reveals a V-shaped arrangement of LG domains strengthened by an interdomain calcium-binding site. LG2 of Gas6-LG contains two unusual features: an alpha-helix cradled by one edge of the LG beta-sandwich and a conspicuous patch of surface-exposed hydrophobic residues. Mutagenesis of some residues in this patch reduces Gas6-LG binding to the extracellular domain of Axl as well as Axl activation in glioblastoma cells, identifying a component of the receptor-binding site of Gas6.
The Bacteroides fragilis Toxin Gene Is Prevalent in the Colon Mucosa of Colorectal Cancer Patients (2014)

The bft gene is associated with colorectal neoplasia, especially in late-stage CRC. Our results suggest that mucosal bft exposure is common and may be a risk factor for developing CRC.
Mass transport modelling for the electroreduction of CO<sub>2</sub> on Cu nanowires (2017)

Mass transport plays an important role in CO<sub>2</sub> reduction electrocatalysis. Albeit being more pronounced on nanostructured electrodes, the studies of mass transport for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction have yet been limited to planar electrodes. We report here the development of a mass transport model for the electroreduction of CO<sub>2</sub> on Cu nanowire electrodes. Fed with the experimental data from electrocatalytic studies, the local concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub>, [Formula: see text] and OH<sup>-</sup> on the nanostructured electrodes are calculated by solving the diffusion equations with spatially distributed electrochemical reaction terms incorporated. The mass transport effects on the catalytic activity and selectivity of the Cu nanowire electrocatalysts are thus discussed by using the local pH as the descriptor. The established correlations between the electrocatalytic performance and the local pH shows that, the latter does not only determine the acid-base reaction equilibrium, but also regulates the mass transport and reaction kinetics. Based on these findings, the optimal range of local pH for CO<sub>2</sub> reduction is discussed in terms of a fine balance among the suppression of hydrogen evolution, improvement of C<sub>2</sub> product selectivity and limitation of CO<sub>2</sub> supply. Our work highlights the importance of understanding the mass transport effects in interpretation of CO<sub>2</sub> reduction electrocatalysis on high-surface-area catalysts.
A low-temperature parylene-C-to-silicon bonding using photo-patternable adhesives and its applications (2013)

Parylene-C has become a more and more popular material for BioMEMS implant applications due to its good biomedical properties [1, 2]. It was also used as an intermediate layer for silicon wafer bonding [3, 4]. However, the bonding between parylene-C and silicon is still problematic. In this paper, a low-temperature bonding between parylene-C and silicon using photo-patternable adhesives is presented. This method can not only determine the bonding pads but also reduce the residual stress in the packaging. Its application on high-density multi-channel chip integration is also demonstrated. Two commercially available photo-patternable materials, i.e., SU-8 and AZ-4620, with stable characteristics are chosen to demonstrate this method. The processing conditions are optimized in terms of bonding temperature, pressure, time, and surface treatment. The peeling force is measured by ASTM peeling tests under various bonding conditions. The results show that the epoxy-based SU-8 is better than AZ-4620 as an adhesive material with a peeling force up to 8.4 N/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . This low-temperature bonding technique allows selectively local area bonding. Besides, bonding without applying a high electric field is especially suitable for the integration with microelectronics in MEMS packaging.
Highly birefringent, low-loss liquid crystals for terahertz applications (2013)

With growing interest in switchable devices for the THz frequency range, there is a strong demand for liquid crystals (LC) exhibiting both a high birefringence and a low absorption. We present the refractive index and absorption coefficient of the liquid crystal mixtures 1852 and 1825 in the frequency range between 0.2 and 2.5 THz. Both mixtures are designed specifically for high birefringence Δn of 0.32 and 0.38, respectively, in the THz region. In addition, they show low absorption coefficients for both ordinary and extraordinary polarization. This low absorbance in combination with the high birefringence makes these LCs particularly well suited for applications in switchable devices for THz optics.
Web Application Content Security (2018)

The web has become ubiquitous in modern lives. People go online to stay in contact with their friends or to manage their bank account. With lots of different sensitive information handled by web applications securing them naturally becomes important. In this thesis we analyze the state of the art in client-side web security, empirically study real-world deployments, analyze best practices and actively contribute to improve security of the web platform.We explore how password meters and password generators are included into web applications and how it should be done, in particular when external code is used.Next, we investigate if and how browser extensions and modify Content Security Policy HTTP headers (CSP) by analyzing a large set of real-world browser extensions. We implement a mechanism which allows web servers to react to CSP header modifications by browser extensions.Is CSP meant to prevent data exfiltration on the web? We discuss the different positions in the security community with respect to this question. Without choosing a side we show that the current CSP standard does in fact not prevent data exfiltration and provide possible solutions.With login pages as the points of authenticating to a web service their security is particularly relevant. In a large-scale empirical study we automatically identify and analyze login page security configurations on the web, and discuss measures to improve the security of login pages.Last, we analyze a standard proposal for Origin Manifest, a mechanism for origin-wide security configurations. We implement a mechanism to automatically generate such configurations, make extensions to the mechanism, implement a prototype and run several large-scale empirical studies to evaluate the standard proposal.

Dynamic stereo displays (1995)

Based on a review of the facts about human stereo vision, a case is made that the stereo processing mechanism is highly flexible. Stereopsis seems to provide only local additional depth information, rather than defining the overall 3D geometry of a perceived scene. New phenomenological and experimental evidence is presented to support this view. The first demonstration shows that kinetic depth information dominates stereopsis in a depth cue conflict. Experiment 1 shows that dynamic changes in effective eye separation are not noticed if they occur over a period of a few seconds. Experiment 2 shows that subjects who are given control over their effective eye separation, can comfortably work with larger than normal eye separations when viewing a low relief scene. Finally, an algorithm is presented for the generation of dynamic stereo images designed to reduce the normal eye strain that occurs due to the mis-coupling of focus and vergence cues.

Octane Numbers of Ethanol− and Methanol−Gasoline Blends Estimated from Molar Concentrations (2010)

When expressed using volumetric concentrations (as is industry practice), the addition of relatively small amounts of ethanol or methanol (e.g., 10% by volume) to gasoline appears to result in disproportionately large, nonlinear increases in research octane number (RON) and motor octane number (MON). As a result, volumetric “blending octane numbers” are of limited value for estimating the octane number of alcohol−gasoline blends because they vary with alcohol content and base gasoline composition. We show that RON and MON increases with alcohol content are approximately linear when expressed using molar concentrations. Moreover, molar-based blending octane numbers are effectively equal to the octane numbers of the pure alcohols for most base gasolines. A limited dependence on gasoline composition was observed, namely, greater-than-predicted octane numbers for ethanol−gasoline blends with unusually high isoparaffin content. We suggest that octane numbers of methanol−gasoline and ethanol−gasoline blends can be estimated conveniently and more accurately from their molar composition by linear interpolation between the octane numbers of the base gasoline and the pure alcohol.
Novel Synthetic Approach to Multibenzoylated Nucleosides (2008)

Abstract An improved and highly efficient synthetic approach to multibenzoylated nucleosides bearing free 5′‐hydroxyl groups is described here. By employing t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) rather than the more commonly used dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) as a temporary 5′‐OH protecting group of the starting nucleoside, this methodology provides the expected products in nearly quantitative yields, thereby substantially reducing the cost and effort of synthesis.

Anticytokine Immune Therapy and Atherothrombotic Cardiovascular Risk (2019)

Accumulating observations in humans and animals indicate that inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis development and subsequent complications. Moreover, the use of loss- or gain-of-function genetically modified, atherosclerosis-prone mice has provided strong experimental evidence for a causal role of innate and adaptive immunity in atherosclerosis and has revealed the pathogenic activity of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-α, IL (interleukin)-1β, IL-6, and IL-18, and the atheroprotective effect of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-10 and TGF-β. For the past 15 years, treatments using monoclonal antibodies specifically targeting cytokines, commonly referred as biological therapies, have transformed the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis, both conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Analyzing the impact of anticytokine therapies on the cardiovascular outcomes of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases provides insight into the clinical relevance of experimental data on the role of inflammation in atherothrombotic cardiovascular diseases. CANTOS (Canakinumab Antiinflammatory Thrombosis Outcome Study) provided the first evidence that targeting inflammation in humans with atherosclerosis could improve clinical outcomes. Treatment with the anti-IL-1β antibody canakinumab significantly reduced recurrent cardiovascular events in individuals with stable coronary artery disease well-treated with standard-of-care measures. Other clinical studies support the protective effects of treatment with anti-TNF-α and anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibodies on cardiovascular risk. Blockade of the IL-23/IL-17 axis, however, warrants caution as a cardiovascular intervention. Targeting this pathway has improved psoriasis but may augment cardiovascular risk in certain patients. Thus, careful consideration of the cardiovascular risk profile may influence the choice of the most appropriate treatment for patients with chronic inflammatory diseases.Visual Overview: An online visual overview is available for this article.

A Proposal to Compensate Platform Attitude Deviation's Impact on Laser Point Cloud From Airborne LiDAR (2013)

The attitude deviations of an airborne stabilized platform have significant impact on the distribution and point density of the laser point cloud obtained from airborne LiDAR. On one hand, the attitude deviations can cause the laser point cloud to horizontally shift along the scanning direction, leading to the coverage area deviating from the target terrain and resulting in missing scan of some important topography. On the other hand, the attitude deviations can cause the point density to be nonuniform, further deteriorating the elevation accuracy of the digital surface model (DSM) reconstructed from the laser point cloud. Among the three attitude deviations of the airborne stabilized platform, the roll and pitch deviations have more significant impact than the heading deviation. Thus, it is of practical importance to take appropriate steps to compensate the attitude deviations of the airborne stabilized platform, especially for the roll and pitch deviations. In this paper, firstly, an attitude compensation device was designed to compensate the impact of both the roll and pitch deviations in real time. Then, through numerical simulation and semi-physical simulation experiments, the compensation effectiveness of the device was evaluated. The experimental results show that the device can effectively compensate the roll and pitch deviations. After the compensation of the roll and pitch deviations, offsets of the distribution of the laser point cloud were well corrected, and the elevation accuracy of the reconstructed DSM was improved.
A 32 Mbit/s component separation DPCM coding system for NTSC color TV (1978)

A component separation DPCM Coding system is described which is capable of transmitting a 4 MHz NTSC color TV signal with broadcast quality at a 32.064 Mbit/s rate. The input NTSC color TV signal is first separated into a luminance component Y and two chrominance components I and Q . Then, these three components are converted into a TDM-PCM color signal, where I and Q of only odd lines are transmitted and samples in horizontal blanking intervals of Y,I, and Q are removed, in order to reduce the transmission rate. This TDM-PCM signal is encoded by a single DPCM coder, which employs a two-dimensional prediction method and a dual word-length coding method. For the Y signal, 4 bit and 8 bit code words are assigned to 29 quantizing levels. For both I and Q signals, 3 bit and 6 bit code words are assigned to 13 quantizing levels. Coding experiment results show that this coding system is promising for application to broadcast color TV signal transmission at a 32.064 Mbit/s rate.
