Time course of the effect of catabolic doses of corticosterone on protein turnover in rat skeletal muscle and liver (1983)

The time course of the response of protein synthesis in muscle and liver to catabolic doses of corticosterone (10 mg/day per 100 g body wt.) was studied in vivo in growing rats over a 12-day period. The rate of protein synthesis in muscle and liver and the rate of actomyosin synthesis in muscle were measured by the phenylalanine-flooding technique, and 3-methylhistidine (N tau-methylhistidine) synthesis was measured by injection of labelled histidine. 3-Methylhistidine concentrations in tissue free pools and urinary excretion were also measured to compare directly with the rate of muscle protein degradation determined as the difference between synthesis and growth each day during the treatment. The overall rate of protein synthesis in muscle fell gradually over the first 4 days, reaching a rate after 5 days that was 36% of the initial rate, and this lower rate was then maintained for the following week. This decrease in the overall rate was accompanied with changes in the relative rate of synthesis in muscle proteins, since during the first 4 days there was a disproportionate decrease in the rate of actomyosin synthesis, and specifically 3-methylhistidine synthesis. In the latter case the synthesis rate was decreased to only 4% of its initial rate after 4 days. These changes in protein synthesis in muscle were accompanied by a transient increase in the rate of protein degradation, which was more than doubled on days 2 and 3 of treatment but which returned to the original rate on day 5, and a similar pattern of response was indicated by urinary 3-methylhistidine excretion, which also exhibited a transient increase. Thus in this case 3-methylhistidine excretion and measured rates of protein degradation in muscle do correlate. The transient effects of the glucocorticoids on degradation compared with the sustained effect on synthesis suggest that these two responses are achieved by different mechanisms. The hepatic size and protein mass were increased by the treatment, and protein synthesis was well maintained until after 12 days, when the rate was suppressed. Although the fractional synthesis rate was transiently increased for 24 h, it is argued that the enlarged liver most likely reflects a decrease in protein degradation resulting from the increased amino acid supply to the liver. This would result from the cessation of muscle growth while dietary supply was maintained.
Multimodal Latent Variable Analysis (2016)

Consider a set of multiple, multimodal sensors capturing a complex system or a physical phenomenon of interest. Our primary goal is to distinguish the underlying sources of variability manifested in the measured data. The first step in our analysis is to find the common source of variability present in all sensor measurements. We base our work on a recent paper, which tackles this problem with alternating diffusion (AD). In this work, we suggest to further the analysis by extracting the sensor-specific variables in addition to the common source. We propose an algorithm, which we analyze theoretically, and then demonstrate on three different applications: a synthetic example, a toy problem, and the task of fetal ECG extraction.
El concepto de revelación en Paul Tillich (2005)

espanolAl cumplirse 40 anos de la muerte del teologo luterano Paul Tillich (1886-1965), el Dr. Alberto Roldan desarrolla el tema de la revelacion tal como lo presento Tillich en su Teologia Sistematica, destacando las fuentes de la revelacion cristiana, su caracter concreto en Jesucristo y las implicaciones que tiene para el dialogo interreligioso. Esto ultimo pone de manifiesto el genio de Tillich al adelantarse a discusiones que son hoy, de rigurosa actualidad para el siglo XXI. EnglishIn redecoration of the 40th anniversary of Paul Tillich's death (1886-1965), Phd Alberto Roldan, develops the subject of revelation just like the way Tillich explained it by himself in his Systematic Theology, remarking the source of Christian revelation, its character in Jesus Christ, and the implications on the inter-religious dialogue. This last point shows the intelligence of Tillich in coming forward to the discussions that we are nowadays coping with in the XXI Century.
Homology-extended sequence alignment (2005)

We present a profile-profile multiple alignment strategy that uses database searching to collect homologues for each sequence in a given set, in order to enrich their available evolutionary information for the alignment. For each of the alignment sequences, the putative homologous sequences that score above a pre-defined threshold are incorporated into a position-specific pre-alignment profile. The enriched position-specific profile is used for standard progressive alignment, thereby more accurately describing the characteristic features of the given sequence set. We show that owing to the incorporation of the pre-alignment information into a standard progressive multiple alignment routine, the alignment quality between distant sequences increases significantly and outperforms state-of-the-art methods, such as T-COFFEE and MUSCLE. We also show that although entirely sequence-based, our novel strategy is better at aligning distant sequences when compared with a recent contact-based alignment method. Therefore, our pre-alignment profile strategy should be advantageous for applications that rely on high alignment accuracy such as local structure prediction, comparative modelling and threading.
A Prospective Randomized Study to Assess the Efficacy of Rate and Site of Atrial Pacing on Long‐Term Development of Atrial Fibrillation (2009)

The Septal Pacing for Atrial Fibrillation Suppression Evaluation (SAFE) study is a single-blinded, parallel randomized designed multicenter study in pacemaker indicated patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective is to evaluate whether the site of atrial pacing--conventional right atrial appendage versus low atrial septal--with or without atrial overdrive pacing will influence the development of persistent AF. The study will provide a definitive answer to whether a different atrial pacing site or the use of AF suppression pacing or both can give incremental antiarrhythmic benefit when one is implanting a device for a patient with a history of paroxysmal AF.
Visual Communications and Image Processing (2023)

In view of the scratches and red spots caused by the impact of time, environment and shooting equipment on the old photos, this paper uses MATLAB as image processing simulation software to carry out the research and implementation of image inpainting algorithm.By comparing and analyzing the repair effect and operational efficiency of the three basic models based on partial differential equations: BSCB model, TV model, and CDD model, the method of introducing weights into the TV model is selected to perform simple repair on color photos and black and white photos with scratches and red dots, and the repair results of old photos are presented through the MATLAB GUI interface.The experimental results show that the introduction of weight values in the TV model not only has a significant effect on solving the problem of unidirectional extension of the equal illuminance line in the TV model, but also has a good effect on repairing scratches and red dots in small-scale color and black and white photos.
Small-molecule, tubulin-binding compounds as vascular targeting agents (2002)

Vascular targeting or vascular damaging agents are directed toward established blood vessels, making them different from antiangiogenic agents, which inhibit one or more of the processes of neo-vascularisation. This emerging area of cancer drug discovery is currently being clinically tested and there is growing activity directed toward the identification of new antivascular agents. This review summarises key aspects of recent patents and patent applications referring to cancer chemotherapy and cancer drug discovery that involve the targeting or destruction of established vasculature. This review focuses on applications that have been published between January 2000 and December 2001, with earlier, selected references included. Small molecule approaches, such as analogues of combretastatin A-4 (CA4) and colchicine, as well as other novel chemotypes, are the major focus of this review.
Reconfigurable array antennas with phase-only control of quantized phase shifters (2002)

In this paper a new synthesis method for electronically controlled, reconfigurable array antennas for future wireless communication systems such as vehicle to roadside communications or cellular telephone systems is presented. Quantized phase shifters can already be taken into account during synthesis. The shape of the main beam as well as the sidelobe level can be reconfigurated with phase-only control of quantized phase shifters. The amplitude of the weighting factors in the antenna beamforming network remains constant resulting in only one antenna beamforming network for several antenna patterns. Results for linear as well as planar array antennas show the efficacy of the new synthesis method.
Electrodeposition of Aluminum from AlCl3/Et3NHCl Ionic Liquids (2008)

Aluminum was successfully electrodeposited on Al electrodes from aluminum chloride (AlCl3)/triethylamine hydrochloride (Et3NHCl) ionic liquids by the constant potential electrolysis. Electrical conductivities of AlCl3/Et3NHCl ionic liquids were measured as a function of the temperature and composition. The nucleation processes and the influence of experimental conditions on the current efficiency and surface morphology of aluminum electrodeposits were studied on Al electrodes from 2:1 molar ratio AlCl3/Et3NHCl ionic liquid. The electrical conductivities of ionic liquids increased as the electrolyte temperature increased, following the Arrhenius behavior. Analyses of the chronoamperograms indicated that the deposition process of aluminium on Al substrates was controlled by instantaneous nucleation with diffusion-controlled growth. Constant potential deposition experiments showed that the electrodeposits obtained on Al electrodes were dense, continuous, and well adherent, and the current efficiency was 73% at -2.4 V (vs Pt) for 20 min electrolysis at room temperature. The purity of aluminum electrodeposits on Al electrodes was above 96% (w).
Character sums and deterministic polynomial root finding in finite fields (2015)

We obtain a new bound of certain double multiplicative character sums. We use this bound together with some other previously obtained results to obtain new algorithms for finding roots of polynomials modulo a prime $p$.
Look-up-Table Based Processing-in-Memory Architecture With Programmable Precision-Scaling for Deep Learning Applications (2021)

Processing in memory (PIM) architecture, with its ability to perform ultra-low-latency parallel processing, is regarded as a more suitable alternative to von Neumann computing architectures for implementing data-intensive applications such as Deep Neural Networks (DNN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). In this article, we present a Look-up Table (LUT) based PIM architecture aimed at CNN/DNN acceleration that replaces logic-based processing with pre-calculated results stored inside the LUTs in order to perform complex computations on the DRAM memory platform. Our LUT-based DRAM-PIM architecture offers superior performance at a significantly higher energy-efficiency compared to the more conventional bit-wise parallel PIM architectures, while at the same time avoids fabrication challenges associated with the in-memory implementation of logic circuits. Alongside, the processing elements can be programmed and re-programmed to perform virtually any operation, including operations of Convolutional, Fully Connected, Pooling, and Activating Layers of CNN/DNN. Furthermore, it is capable of operating on several combinations of bit-widths of the operand data and thereby offers a wider range of flexibility across performance, precision, and efficiency. Transmission Gate (TG) realization of the circuitry ensures minimal footprint from the PIM architecture. Our simulations demonstrate that the proposed architecture can perform AlexNet inference at a nearly 13× faster rate and 125× more efficiency compared to state-of-the-art GPU and also provides 1.35× higher throughput at 2.5× higher energy-efficiency than another recent DRAM-implemented LUT-based PIM architecture in its baseline operation mode. Moreover, it offers 12× higher frame-rate at 9× more efficiency per frame for the lowest operand precision setting, with respect to its own baseline operation mode.
Quantum-dot semiconductor waveguide devices (2007)

We have designed, fabricated and characterized self-assembled InAs/InGaAsP QD-waveguide devices around 1.55 μm. In order to obtain optimal performance, we have investigated several QD-based semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) / lasers with different core geometry and doped profiles. To make the fair comparison between QD-SOA and QW-SOA, InAs/InGaAsP QW-SOAs with the same structure and the doped profiles have been designed and characterized. The experimental results indicate the QD-SOA is much better than QW-SOA in term of optical spectral bandwidth, temperature sensitivity and output power stability. The 3-dB and 10-dB bandwidths of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectra of the QD-SOA are 150 nm and 300 nm around 1520 nm. By using CW pump and probe signals we have demonstrated a non-degenerated four-wave mixing (ND-FWM) process and the experimental results indicate that the asymmetry of the FWM conversion efficiencies is eliminated by using the QD-SOA. To make use of the inhomogeneous broadening which is one of the specific properties of QD waveguide devices, we have designed and investigated the QD-based multi-wavelength semiconductor laser. A stable multi-wavelength laser output with a 93-channel multi-wavelength laser with maximum channel intensity non-uniformity of 3-dB were demonstrated on the basis of a single InAs/InGaAsP QD F-P cavity chip. All channels were ultra-stable because of the inhomogeneous gain broadening due to statistically distributed sizes and geometries of self-assembled QDs.

A dataset for hand-eye calibration evaluation (2019)

Description: This dataset aims to assess the accuracy of hand-eye calibration methods (i.e., estimation of the transformation between a robot end effector frame and a camera mounted on it). It contains two sets of images and corresponding robot hand poses. The first one (calib_test) contains images of a calibration pattern to estimate the hand-eye transformation. The second one (spirit_reconst) contains images of a pattern to be 3D reconstructed and manually annotated 2D feature points on the images. By performing multi-view 3D reconstruction on the second set and checking the flatness of the reconstructed points, the calibration accuracy can be assessed. The dimension of the calibration pattern in this dataset is 32 mm.

Cooperation and collaboration between actors and virtual models on stage (2002)

The employment of virtual human models interacting with actors is often used in science fiction and fantasy movies with sophisticated, off-line, 3D rendering tools. During the making of the movie the interaction between actors and models is limited. Because, when the action is recorded the actor is always alone and the interacting model is super-imposed on the film using special re-impression techniques. Those techniques are not reliable in a theatrical environment, because people attend physically to the performance, and a real interaction between actors and models is needed. The goal of the authors' research is the realization of a prototype of such a system that can track actor's movements and animate a 3D model of the actor, real-time controlled, that plays inside a virtual world.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Weak values as interference phenomena (2015)

Weak values arise experimentally as conditioned averages of weak (noisy) observable measurements that minimally disturb an initial quantum state, and also as dynamical variables for reduced quantum state evolution even in the absence of measurement. These averages can exceed the eigenvalue range of the observable ostensibly being estimated, which has prompted considerable debate regarding their interpretation. Classical conditioned averages of noisy signals only show such anomalies if the quantity being measured is also disturbed prior to conditioning. This fact has recently been rediscovered, along with the question whether anomalous weak values are merely classical disturbance effects. Here we carefully review the role of the weak value as both a conditioned observable estimation and a dynamical variable, and clarify why classical disturbance models will be insufficient to explain the weak value unless they can also simulate other quantum interference phenomena.
Reduction in Mortality in Pediatric Patients with Inhalation Injury with Aerosolized Heparin/Acetylcystine Therapy (1998)

Smoke-inhalation injury causes a destruction of the ciliated epithelium that lines the tracheobronchial tree. Casts produced from these cells, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and mucus, can cause upper-airway obstruction, contributing to pulmonary failure. We have reported that a combination of aerosolized heparin and a mucolytic agent, N-acetylcystine [corrected], can ameliorate cast formation and reduce pulmonary failure secondary to smoke inhalation. In this study, 90 consecutive pediatric patients between 1985 and 1995 who had bronchoscopically diagnosed inhalation injury requiring ventilatory support were studied. Forty-three children admitted between 1985 and 1989 acted as controls. Forty-seven children admitted between 1990 and 1994 received 5000 units of heparin and 3 ml of a 20% solution of N-acetylcystine [corrected] aerosolized every 4 hours the first 7 days after the injury. All patients were extubated when they were able to maintain spontaneously a PaO2/FIO2 ratio of more than 400. The number of patients requiring reintubation for successive pulmonary failure was recorded, as was mortality. The results indicate a significant decrease in reintubation rates, in incidence of atelectasis, and in mortality for patients treated with the regimen of heparin and N-acetylcystine [corrected] when compared with controls. Heparin/N-acetylcystine [corrected] nebulization in children with massive burn injury and smoke-inhalation injury results in a significant decrease in incidence of reintubation for progressive pulmonary failure and a reduction in mortality.
Response of Cellulase Activity in pH-Controlled Cultures of the Filamentous Fungus Acremonium cellulolyticus (2009)

Cellulase production was investigated in pH-controlled cultures of Acremonium cellulolyticus. The response to culture pH was investigated for three cellulolytic enzymes, carbomethyl cellulase (CMCase), avicelase, and beta-glucosidase. Avicelase and beta-glucosidase showed similar profiles, with maximum activity in cultures at pH 5.5-6. The CMCase activity was highest in a pH 4 culture. At an acidic pH, the ratios of CMCase and avicelase activity to cellulase activity defined by filter paper unit were high, but at a neutral pH, the beta-glucosidase ratio was high. The pH 6.0 culture showed the highest cellulase activity within the range of pH 3.5-6.5 cultures. The saccharification activity from A. cellulolyticus was compared to those of the cellulolytic enzymes from other species. The A. cellulolyticus culture broth had a saccharification yield comparable to those of the Trichoderma enzymes GC220 and Cellulosin T2, under conditions with the same cellulase activity. The saccharification yields from Solka floc, Avicel, and waste paper, measured as the percent of released reducing sugar to dried substrate, were greater than 80% after 96 h of reaction. The yields were 16% from carboxymethylcellulose and 26% from wood chip refiner. Thus, the A. cellulolyticus enzymes were suitable for converting cellulolytic biomass to reducing sugars for biomass ethanol production. This study is a step toward the establishment of an efficient system to reutilize cellulolytic biomass.
A Nonlinear Approach To The Motion Correspondence Problem (2005)

Changes in successive images from a time-varying image sequence of a scene can be characterized by velocity vector fields. In this paper the estimate of the velocity vector field is determined as a compromise in the attempt to satisfy the following two sets of constraints in addition to the regularization constraints: the optical flow constraints, which relate the values of the time-varying image function at corresponding points of the successive images of the sequence, and the directional smoothness constraints, which relate the values of the neighboring velocity vectors. To' achieve such a compromise, we introduce the system of nonlinear (equations of the unknown estimate of the velocity vector field. The optical flow and smoothness constraints are selectively suppressed in the neighborhoods of the occlusion boundaries. The last is accomplished by attaching a weight to each constraint. The spatial variations in the values of the time-varying image function near corresponding points of the successive images of the sequence, with the correspondence specified by a current estimate of tlhe velocity vector field, and variations in the current estimate of the velocity vectors themselves are implicitly used to adjust the weight function.

On-Demand Network Slicing using SDN/NFV-enabled Satellite Ground Segment Systems (2018)

This paper proposes an architecture framework for the realization of on-demand satellite network slicing that is built on the introduction of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) technologies. In this way, service delivery with satellite networks is shifted from a network for connectivity model to a network for service model with a high degree of service customization and adaptability, including satellite bandwidth on-demand. Under this framework, we study the resource orchestration of satellite network services by formulating the on-demand network slicing as an optimization problem that provides flexible service chaining and provisioning taking into account diversified service requirements. The objective is to determine the optimal resource allocation for supporting a satellite network slice that minimizes resources consumption while meeting service specification requirements such as the end-to-end delay.
