RWFS: Design and implementation of file system executing access control based on user's location (2014)

In this research, we designed and implemented Real-World File System (RWFS), which can manage files as if we can put them onto or pick them up from the places of the real world. RWFS regards the places of the real world as directories of the file system by associating a directory with a place. We create directories called Real-World Directory (RWD) which forms a hierarchical structure to reflect the natural property of places. In addition to the conventional access rights of read, write, and execute as implemented in other file systems, RWFS accommodates utilizing location information of the target user in access rights; RWFS can decide whether or not the user can access to a particular file or directory based on the user's location. Therefore, accessible files for a user change depending on the user's location. This mechanism enables creating information that can be read or written by users who physically stay at a particular place. We evaluated this system by measuring turnaround time to operate the file system together with simulation.
The causes and diagnosis of influenza-like illness. (2004)

Influenza-like illness surveillance with laboratory support, conducted in most Australian stats and territories, aims to define the impact of influenza seasons in the community and provide virus strains that may be used in future vaccine formulations. Surveillance may also be useful in the early stages of an influenza pandemic. In addition to influenza, viruses known to cause ILI include respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza viruses, human coronaviruses (including the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome) and the recently recognised human metapneumovirus. Polymerase chain reaction assays are the most common diagnostic tests now used for the differential diagnosis of ILI.
A Data-Transfer Architecture for Fast Multi-Bit Serial Access Mode DRAM (1985)

A data-transfer architecture for both fast multi-bit serial access mode and multi-output pin configuration DRAM is described in this paper. The key feature of the newly developed architecture to realize fast serial access time is the concurrent data-transfer of two cascade serial outputs in a CAS cycle using time-multiplexed data-bus. The data-transfer per one output pin is achieved by only two pairs of time-multiplexed data-bus. The data bus enables to minimize die size compared with non time-multiplexed data-bus; conventional technique. By using the architecture, a 64K × 4b nibble mode DRAM of small die size and fast nibble access time has been developed.
Resource reservation for real-time self-suspending tasks (2015)

Nowadays, the real-time domain cannot neglect modern hardware architectures and the programming paradigms developed to fully exploit their capabilities. This has shown the limitations of classical task models, like the periodic one proposed by Liu&Layland, and it is pushing for the adoption of more realistic task models and the development of new schedulability analyses to guarantee their timing constraints. Self-suspending tasks are representative of enhanced task models considering explicit suspensions of the execution, happening when a task has to interact with an external device (e.g., through I/O operations) or to access shared resources. Real-time analysis of such a task model cannot neglect to take also into account temporal isolation techniques like bandwidth reservations and hypervisors, required to manage the complexity of actual software and the need of a modular development. In this paper we present a novel scheduling algorithm (H-CBS-SO) that provides temporal isolation for real-time self-suspending tasks. We also propose the implementation of this algorithm in the Linux kernel. Finally, experimental results are presented aiming at evaluating the performance of the implementation in terms of run-time overhead.
PubMed on Tap: discovering design principles for online information delivery to handheld computers. (2004)

Online access to biomedical information from handheld computers will be a valuable adjunct to other popular medical applications if information delivery systems are designed with handheld computers in mind. The goal of this project is to discover design principles to facilitate practitioners' access to online medical information at the point-of-care. A prototype system was developed to serve as a testbed for this research. Using the testbed, an initial evaluation has yielded several user interface design principles. Continued research is expected to discover additional user interface design principles as well as guidelines for results organization and system performance
Stem cell potency and the ability to contribute to chimeric organisms (2012)

Mouse embryonic chimeras are a well-established tool for studying cell lineage commitment and pluripotency. Experimental chimeras were successfully produced by combining two or more preimplantation embryos or by introducing into host embryo cultured pluripotent embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Chimera production using genetically modified ESCs became the method of choice for the generation of knockout or knockin mice. Although the derivation of ESCs or ESC-like cells has been reported for other species, only mouse and rat pluripotent stem cells have been shown to contribute to germline-competent chimeras, which is the defining feature of ESCs. Herein, we describe different approaches employed for the generation of embryonic chimeras, define chimera-competent cell types, and describe cases of spontaneous chimerism in humans. We also review the current state of derivation of pluripotent stem cells in several species and discuss outcomes of various chimera studies when such cells are used.
Rheological Properties of Hydrophobically Modified Acrylamide-Based Polyelectrolytes (1991)

Associative polymers of acrylamide and n-decylacrylamide with sodium-3-acrylamido-3-methylbutanoate, sodium acrylate, or sodium-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate have been prepared by a micellar technique. Low shear rheometry was used to obtain plots of apparent viscosity as functions of ionic group type and mole percent incorporation into the backbone, polymer concentration and solution ionic strength. Results indicate that these polymers maintain high viscosity in NaCl concentrations of up to 0.514 M by intermolecular association of the hydrophobic groups. The amount of aggregation is dependent on the type of ionic group incorporated as well as the distance of the charged group from the backbone. Maximum increases in apparent viscosity are observed for the terpolymers containing carboxylate groups close to the polymer backbone. A conceptual model based on placement of both charged and hydrophobic groups along the macromolecular backbone is proposed consistent with rheological behavior.
Histologically Proven Cochlear Otosclerosis with Pure Sensorineural Hearing Loss (1984)

This paper discusses cochlear otosclerosis without stapedial fixation as a cause of sensorineural hearing loss. Because many cases of cochlear otosclerosis may remain undiagnosed, we believe that patients with a progressive sensorineural hearing loss and a family history of cochlear otosclerosis should be suspected of having cochlear otosclerosis. A positive stapedial reflex on-off effect or polytomographic findings help make the diagnosis. We prescribe sodium fluoride, calcium, and vitamin D for these patients in an effort to prevent progression of the loss.
Design and fabrication of new high voltage current limiting devices for serial protection applications (2002)

This paper describes the design and fabrication of new two-terminal semiconductor devices, based on the concept of "functional integration", acting as current limiter for high voltage applications (400 V to 1,000 V). In the first section, the optimization of structures and fabrication processes are considered using 2D simulation tools SUPREM IV and PISCES. In the second section, the first experimental results of these devices are presented.
A Secure User Interface for Web Applications Running Under an Untrusted Operating System (2010)

Many security-critical web applications, such as online banking and e-commerce, require a secure communication path between the user and a remote server. Securing this endto- end path is challenging and can be broken down into several segments. The network part between the user's machine and the server is usually well protected, using secure communication protocols, such as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. However, the user's sensitive inputs (such as password and credit card number) are handled by the operating system (OS) and the web applications before being encrypted and passed on to the network; also some sensitive information from the server (such as private account balance and transaction confirmation) is handled by OS/applications before being displayed to the user. This user interface part of the communication path, which includes the OS and web applications, is often untrusted because of possible malware (virus, rootkits, spyware, etc.) and vulnerabilities within the client. In this paper, a secure user interface running under an untrusted OS is proposed, which is independent of the OS/applications and has a very small code base size. This secure user interface attests itself to the remote server and then handles the sensitive input and output by itself, bypassing the OS kernel and web applications. It utilizes network software stacks in the OS, however, the sensitive information is cryptographically protected before being revealed to the potentially malicious OS. This ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the sensitive information. Using this secure user interface, even while running under untrusted OS/applications, the user's sensitive input, private output, and transaction integrity can be protected.
Effects of a simple or a complex starter microbiota on intestinal microbiota composition in caesarean derived piglets1 (2012)

The present study was designed to develop a model in piglets that allows the investigation of the effects of postnatal association with a simple or a complex microbiota on gut health and development. Thirty piglets from 2 sows were obtained by caesarean delivery (day 0) and were equally divided over 2 treatment groups housed in separate clean, nonsterile rooms. All piglets received orally a simple microbiota consisting of Lactobacillus amylovorus, Clostridium glycolicum, and Parabacteroides spp. on days 1, 2, and 3 after birth. On day 3 and 4 the piglets received either a complex microbiota by providing them with a fecal inoculant of an adult sow [complex association (CA)] or a placebo inoculant [simple association (SA)]. Fecal microbiota composition, as determined by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and by pig intestinal tract chip (PITChip) analysis of 16S rRNA genes (days 3, 5, 7, 14, and 28), was less diverse in the SA group compared to the CA group. A difference in fecal microbiota composition between treatments persisted until the end of the study. It was concluded that the composition of microbiota in feces of cesarean delivery-derived piglets is influenced by bacterial association in the first days after birth. Differences in fecal microbiota composition between piglets exposed to a simple or complex inoculum at early age persisted for at least 3 wk.
Oxygen Vacancy Induced Substantial Threshold Voltage Shifts in the Hf-based High-<i>K</i>MISFET with p+poly-Si Gates -A Theoretical Approach (2004)

A theoretical investigation has been made of the origin of substantial threshold voltage (Vth) shifts observed in p+poly-Si gate Hf-based metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistors (MISFETs), by focusing on the effect of oxygen vacancy (VO) formation in HfO2. It has been found that VO formation and subsequent electron transfer across the interface definitely causes substantial Vth shifts, especially in p+poly-Si gate MISFETs. Moreover, the theory also systematically reproduces recent experimental reports that large flat band (Vfb) shifts are observed, even in intrinsic poly-Si gates, and that the Vfb shifts exhibit a high dependence on HfSiOx thickness.
A low-cost quad-band single-chip GSM/GPRS radio in 90nm digital CMOS (2009)

In this paper we present a quad-band single-chip GSM/GPRS radio in 90 nm digital CMOS process based on the digital RF Processor (DRPtrade) technology. This chip integrates all functions from physical layer to the protocol stack and peripheral support in a single chip RF SoC. The transmitter uses a low-area small-signal digital polar architecture merging amplitude and phase information directly in an RF DAC. The receiver is based on direct RF sampling and discrete-time analog signal processing. A dedicated internal microprocessor manages the digital RF controls to provide best achievable RF performances. The transceiver exceeds all 3GPP specifications demonstrating a receive NF of 1.8 dB and a margin of 8 dB on TX spectral mask at 400 KHz offset in GSM850/900 bands. The transceiver is best-in-class in area and occupies only 3.8 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of silicon area.
Task mapping and priority assignment for soft real-time applications under deadline miss ratio constraints (2008)

Both analysis and design optimisation of real-time systems has predominantly concentrated on considering hard real-time constraints. For a large class of applications, however, this is both unrealistic and leads to unnecessarily expensive implementations. This paper addresses the problem of task priority assignment and task mapping in the context of multiprocessor applications with stochastic execution times and in the presence of constraints on the percentage of missed deadlines. We propose a design space exploration strategy together with a fast method for system performance analysis. Experiments emphasize the efficiency of the proposed analysis method and optimisation heuristic in generating high-quality implementations of soft real-time systems with stochastic task execution times and constraints on deadline miss ratios.
Growth Model for Bamboolike Structured Carbon Nanotubes Synthesized Using Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (2001)

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown vertically aligned on Fe catalytic particles deposited on a silicon oxide substrate at temperatures ranging from 550 to 950 °C by thermal chemical vapor deposition of acetylene. All CNTs have a bamboolike structure in which the curvature of compartment layers is directed toward the tip, irrespective to the growth temperature. Most of tips are closed and free from the encapsulation of Fe particle. However, the CNTs grown at 550 °C sometimes encapsulate the Fe particle at the closed tip. On the basis of experimental results, we provide a detailed growth model for the bamboolike structured CNTs grown using thermal chemical vapor deposition.
High Speed Travelling Wave Single-Photon Detectors With Near-Unity Quantum Efficiency (2011)

Ultrafast, high quantum efficiency single photon detectors are among the most sought-after elements in modern quantum optics and quantum communication. Close-to-unity photon detection efficiency is essential for scalable measurement-based quantum computation, quantum key distribution, and loophole-free Bell experiments. However, imperfect modal matching and finite photon absorption rates have usually limited the maximum attainable detection efficiency of single photon detectors. Here we demonstrate a superconducting nanowire detector atop nanophotonic waveguides and achieve single photon detection efficiency up to 94% at telecom wavelengths. Our detectors are fully embedded in a scalable, low loss silicon photonic circuit and provide ultrashort timing jitter of 18ps at multi-GHz detection rates. Exploiting this high temporal resolution we demonstrate ballistic photon transport in silicon ring resonators. The direct implementation of such a detector with high quantum efficiency, high detection speed and low jitter time on chip overcomes a major barrier in integrated quantum photonics.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibits stem cell factor-induced proliferation of human bone marrow progenitor cells in vitro. Role of p55 and p75 tumor necrosis factor receptors. (1994)

Stem cell factor (SCF), a key regulator of hematopoiesis, potently synergizes with a number of hematopoietic growth factors. However, little is known about growth factors capable of inhibiting the actions of SCF. TNF-alpha has been shown to act as a bidirectional regulator of myeloid cell proliferation and differentiation. This study was designed to examine interactions between TNF-alpha and SCF. Here, we demonstrate that TNF-alpha potently and directly inhibits SCF-stimulated proliferation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells. Furthermore, TNF-alpha blocked all colony formation stimulated by SCF in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (CSF) or CSF-1. The synergistic effect of SCF observed in combination with GM-CSF or IL-3 was also inhibited by TNF-alpha, resulting in colony numbers similar to those obtained in the absence of SCF. These effects of TNF-alpha were mediated through the p55 TNF receptor, whereas little or no inhibition was signaled through the p75 TNF receptor. Finally, TNF-alpha downregulated c-kit cell-surface expression on CD34+ bone marrow cells, and this was predominantly a p55 TNF receptor-mediated event as well.
An Accurate and Efficient User Authentication Mechanism on Smart Glasses Based on Iris Recognition (2017)

In modern society, mobile devices (such as smart phones and wearable devices) have become indispensable to almost everyone, and people store personal data in devices. Therefore, how to implement user authentication mechanism for private data protection on mobile devices is a very important issue. In this paper, an intelligent iris recognition mechanism is designed to solve the problem of user authentication in wearable smart glasses. Our contributions include hardware and software. On the hardware side, we design a set of internal infrared camera modules, including well-designed infrared light source and lens module, which is able to take clear iris images within 2~5 cm. On the software side, we propose an innovative iris segmentation algorithm which is both efficient and accurate to be used on smart glasses device. Another improvement to the traditional iris recognition is that we propose an intelligent Hamming distance (HD) threshold adaptation method which dynamically fine-tunes the HD threshold used for verification according to empirical data collected. Our final system can perform iris recognition with 66 frames per second on a smart glasses platform with 100% accuracy. As far as we know, this system is the world’s first application of iris recognition on smart glasses.
Graft versus tumor effects and why people relapse (2017)

Graft-versus-tumor (GVT) reactivity mediated by donor T cells in the context of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is one of the most potent forms of cellular immunotherapy. The antitumor effect against hematologic malignancies is mediated by a polyclonal T-cell response targeting polymorphic antigens expressed on hematopoietic tissues of the recipient, leaving donor hematopoiesis in the patient after transplantation unharmed. Fortunately, hematopoietic tissues (including malignant hematopoietic cell populations) are relatively susceptible to T-cell recognition. If, however, nonhematopoietic tissues of the recipient are targeted as well, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) will occur. The balance between GVT and GVHD is influenced by the genetic disparity between donor and recipient, the number and origin of professional antigen-presenting cells provoking the immune response, the target antigen specificity, magnitude and diversity of the response, and the in vivo inflammatory environment, whereas inhibitory factors may silence the immune response. Manipulation of each of these factors will determine the balance between GVT and GVHD.

e-SNLI: Natural Language Inference with Natural Language Explanations (2018)

In order for machine learning to garner widespread public adoption, models must be able to provide interpretable and robust explanations for their decisions, as well as learn from human-provided explanations at train time. In this work, we extend the Stanford Natural Language Inference dataset with an additional layer of human-annotated natural language explanations of the entailment relations. We further implement models that incorporate these explanations into their training process and output them at test time. We show how our corpus of explanations, which we call e-SNLI, can be used for various goals, such as obtaining full sentence justifications of a model's decisions, improving universal sentence representations and transferring to out-of-domain NLI datasets. Our dataset thus opens up a range of research directions for using natural language explanations, both for improving models and for asserting their trust.
Sodium citrate 4% locking solution for central venous dialysis catheters--an effective, more cost-efficient alternative to heparin (2006)

The pharmaco-economic benefits of sodium citrate 4% are well supported by this analysis. Furthermore, citrate offers several clinical advantages over concentrated heparin: citrate lock avoids heparin-associated bleeding complications, improves reliability of INR assays and provides an effective alternative for patients with suspected or confirmed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.
Interleaving of Delay Fault Tes Data for Efficient Test Compression with Statistical Coding (2006)

This paper proposes a method providing efficient test compression for delay fault testing using enhanced scan design. In the proposed method, the initial and transition vectors of test data are interleaved before test compression using statistical coding. This paper also shows test architecture for delay fault testing using the proposed method. The proposed method is experimentally evaluated from the viewpoint of compression rates. For robust testable path delay fault testing on 11 out of 23 ISCA589 benchmark circuits, the combination of Huffman coding and the proposed method provides higher compression rates than Huffman coding without the proposed method, run-length coding, Golomb coding, frequency-directed run-length (FDR) coding and variable-length input Huffman coding (VIHC)
