Universal Sensor Using Electro-Optic Sensing Principles (2006)

Techniques like high power microwaves (HPM), pulse scattering, EMP, ESD and transient radar still lack reliable electric field monitors. One of the main obstacles to develop such field sensors are the enormous difficulties to miniaturize the sensor head providing simultaneously sufficient sensitivity, dynamic range and electrical isolation. This paper will present a recent sensor development of a universal photonic field probe for transient and continuous wave electric field measurements. The probe head incorporates three electrooptic Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) modulators packaged in purely dielectric material. The modulators cover a frequency range from dc to 3.5 GHz, where in the range dc to 1 GHz an amplitude flatness of ± 0.5 dB can be specified. The modulator input impedance has been optimized to provide maximum electric field sensitivity in conjunction with a broad band dipole antenna. The sensor system (see example fig. 1) including an 240 mW low noise, single frequency laser and 18 GHz bandwidth GaInP photo detectors reaches a pulse sensitivity of 4.5 V/m. For narrow band measurements a sensitivity limit of about 100 μ V/m/√Hz can be extrapolated. The 1 dB compression point has been set to 12 kV/m peak to peak and could be increased to about 50 kV/m loosing sensitivity correspondingly. The sensor operates passively and is inherently potential-free by means of optical fibers with a length of up to 2 km. The modulators have been hermetically sealed and allow measurements in liquids in a depth of up to 4 meters.

TRIP: a novel double stranded RNA binding protein which interacts with the leucine rich repeat of flightless I (1998)

A northwestern screen of a CHO-K1 cell line cDNA library with radiolabelled HIV-1 TAR RNA identified a novel TAR RNA interacting protein, TRIP. The human trip cDNA was also cloned and its expression is induced by phorbol esters. The N-terminus of TRIP shows high homology to the coiled coil domain of FLAP, a protein which binds the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) of Flightless I (FLI) and the interaction of TRIP with the FLI LRR has been confirmed in vitro . TRIP does not bind single stranded DNA or RNA significantly and binds double stranded DNA weakly. In contrast, TRIP binds double stranded RNA with high affinity and two molecules of TRIP bind the TAR stem. The RNA binding domain has been identified and encompasses a lysine-rich motif. A TRIP-GFP fusion is localised in the cytoplasm and excluded from the nucleus. FLI has a C-terminal gelsolin-like domain which binds actin and therefore the association of TRIP with the FLI LRR may provide a link between the actin cytoskeleton and RNA in mammalian cells.
Strapped calix[4]pyrrole as a lithium salts selective receptor through separated ion-pair binding (2020)

A triazole-bearing strapped calix[4]pyrrole (1) was synthesized as a lithium salt selective ion pair receptor. 1H NMR spectral studies and X-ray crystallography showed that the capture of LiCl by 1 occurs via separated ion pair binding. Furthermore, lithium salts extracted by 1 could be solidified in the form of Li2CO3 through CO2 or K2CO3 treatment.
Growth modulation and differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia cells by jaspamide. (1995)

We have examined the effect of Jaspamide, a peptide isolated from the marine sponge Hemiastrella minor, on in vitro proliferation and differentiation of leukemic cell lines and blast cells of three AML patients and compared it to that of cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C). The biological properties were studied in two complementary culture methods. The first is a clonogenic assay that supports colony formation in agar and reflects terminal divisions. The second is a suspension assay in which clonogenic cells increase exponentially and which reflects self-renewal. Jaspamide, at micromolar concentrations and in a dose-dependent manner, suppressed both primary colony formation in agar and the recovery of clonogenic cells from suspension culture in the investigated cell lines and in fresh blasts. Furthermore, Jaspamide was more effective in inhibiting clonogenic cells grown in suspension than primary colonies grown in agar. In addition, Jaspamide, similarly to ARA-C, was able to induce immunophenotypic maturation of leukemic cell lines (upregulation of CD14 and CD11 and downregulation of CD34 antigens). Our results indicate that Jaspamide significantly inhibits the self-renewal capacity of leukemic progenitors and may provide a new useful tool for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.
K-HapticModeler<sup>TM</sup>: a haptic modeling scope and basic framework (2007)

Haptics has been studied as a means of providing users with a natural and immersive tactile sensation in real, augmented, and virtual environments in the various areas. However, in spite of the considerable advantages offered by haptic technology, it is still relatively unfamiliar to the general public. One of reasons for this unfamiliarity is the lack of abundant haptic interaction contents, especially in areas that are very close to the general public. Even though there are a few modeling tools for creating haptic contents, addition of haptic data to graphic models or scenes is limited and many haptic modeling processes have to be done mostly manually, which is time consuming and is not intuitive. For this reason, a new, intuitive, comprehensive, and efficient haptic modeling system is needed. This paper tries to define haptic modeling processes and its scopes and proposes a basic framework for a haptic modeling system (K-HapticModeler <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">TM</sup> ) that can create and edit haptic contents easily and intuitively for any virtual objects or graphic scenes.
A new delayless sub-band filtering method for cancelling the effect of feedback path in Hearing aid systems (2011)

Performance of commonly used Hearing aid systems is degraded by the presence of acoustic feedback between loudspeaker and microphone. Prediction Error Method Adaptive Feedback Canceller (PEM-AFC) has been proposed recently that could attenuate the feedback effect. In this paper, we present a new delayless frequency-based sub-band filtering method for alleviating the effect of feedback path for the Hearing aid systems. The proposed method avoids sub-band distortions and has low computational complexity making it suitable for low-power cost-effective hearing aid system designs. Performances of the two methods are compared and simulation results are presented.
Complete genome sequence and comparative analysis of Acetobacter pasteurianus 386B, a strain well-adapted to the cocoa bean fermentation ecosystem (2013)

Genome analysis of A. pasteurianus 386B provided detailed insights into the underlying mechanisms of its metabolic features, niche adaptations, and tolerance towards stress conditions. Combination of these data with previous experimental knowledge enabled an integrated, global overview of the functional characteristics of this strain. This knowledge will enable improved fermentation strategies and selection of appropriate acetic acid bacteria strains as functional starter culture for cocoa bean fermentation processes.

An RJE protocol for a resource sharing network (1977)

For many users of networks like the ARPANET, an RJE protocol is probably as important in terms of utility as the TELNET (or Virtual Terminal) protocol. In fact, the facilities provided by a TELNET and an RJE protocol are probably of most interest to the majority of users of computer networks. For these users, the network provides a fast, cheap telephone surrogate to a variety of computers for RJE and terminal access. The collection (and layers) of protocols that are used to provide these services must be organized to efficiently support a wide variety of applications and user needs. They should not pose an undue software burden on the user. The "official" NETRJE protocol for the ARPANET is built on top of the Telnet and File Transfer Protocols (FTP). A user of NETRJE establishes a Telnet connection using the User NETRJE program on his local host to a Server NETRJE process at the host where he wishes to submit a job (see Figure 1). The user then sends to the Server process appropriate commands to log in, to describe where the job is that is to be submitted, to describe how the job is to be transferred, and to describe what is co be done with output when the job is completed. The Server NETRJE process on the foreign host then uses the FTP to transfer the input file to the foreign host, and then may use FTP again later to send the output back to the user. This protocol is very general and allows a user to submit his input from one host, process it at a second, and send the output to a third.
Neural stem and progenitor cells in health and disease (2013)

Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) have the potential to differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and/or oligodendrocytes. Because these cells can be expanded in culture, they represent a vast source of neural cells. With the recent discovery that patient fibroblasts can be reprogrammed directly into induced NSPCs, the regulation of NSPC fate and function, in the context of cell-based disease models and patient-specific cell-replacement therapies, warrants review.
Toward mechanosynthesis of diamondoid structures: II. Quantum-chemical molecular dynamics simulations of mechanosynthesis on an hydrogenated Si(111) surface with STM (1999)

The controlled manipulation of silicon atoms and silylene molecules at the subnanometre scale via a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) W tip provides a potentially powerful way of building silicon diamondoid structures. In this work, we use quantum-chemical atomistic simulations to explore the feasibility of mechanosynthesis on an hydrogenated Si(111) surface using a STM tip. A sequence of energetically favourable insertion reactions is established leading to stable surface intermediates. This sequence of operations is sufficient to build an indefinitely large volume of diamondoid lattice. The sequence is based solely on two reactants (Si and ) with the overall charge neutrality of the structure maintained. We characterize reaction rates and energy flows and conclude that they are sufficiently fast and simple to make this mechanosynthesis feasible.
Recurrent Neural Networks with Top-k Gains for Session-based Recommendations (2018)

RNNs have been shown to be excellent models for sequential data and in particular for data that is generated by users in an session-based manner. The use of RNNs provides impressive performance benefits over classical methods in session-based recommendations. In this work we introduce novel ranking loss functions tailored to RNNs in the recommendation setting. The improved performance of these losses over alternatives, along with further tricks and refinements described in this work, allow for an overall improvement of up to 35% in terms of MRR and [email protected] over previous session-based RNN solutions and up to 53% over classical collaborative filtering approaches. Unlike data augmentation-based improvements, our method does not increase training times significantly. We further demonstrate the performance gain of the RNN over baselines in an online A/B test.
A new method in mineral magnetism for the separation of weak antiferromagnetic signal from a strong ferrimagnetic background (2002)

This paper describes a new magnetic method for determining the contribution of weakly magnetic hematite against a strongly magnetic (e.g. magnetite) background. The method involves measurements of M fr , a residual or “final” remanence after hysteretic demagnetization of saturated isothermal remanent magnetization. In terms of sensitivity and precision, our proposed method is superior to the currently popular approach known as the HIRM method. Compared to the latter, M fr has no error amplification caused by subtraction of terms. The method utilizes the available software for hysteretic demagnetization function on an automated vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). This, in turn, automatically decreases some of the disturbing effects of the strong magnetic background, e.g., magnetic viscosity, initially non‐zero offset of HIRM for partially oxidized magnetite, etc.
A Review paper on the Memory Built-In Self-Repair with Redundancy Logic (2015)

The Present review paper expresses the word oriented memory test methodology for Built-In Self-Repair (BISR). To replace the defect words few logics are introduced. These logics are memory BIST logic and Wrapper logic. Whenever a test is carries on, the defected words are pointed out by its address only and these addresses are called failing address. The failing addresses are stored in the fuse box. Using fuse box it avoids the classic redundancy concept, where the RAMS has spare rows and columns. After the detection of faulty address, they are stored in redundancy logic. During test and redundancy configuration, the fuse box is connected to a scan registernbsp by this processnbsp inputnbsp and output data can be evaluated.
Sequence analysis of RNA species synthesized by Q.beta. replicase without template (1993)

Q beta replicase amplifies certain short-chained RNA templates autocatalytically with high efficiency. In the absence of extraneously added template, synthesis of new RNA species by Q beta replicase is observed under conditions of high enzyme and substrate concentrations and after long lag times. Even under identical conditions, different RNA species are produced in different experiments. The sequences of several independent template-free products have been determined by cloning their cDNAs into plasmids by a novel cloning procedure. Their nucleotide chain lengths are small, ranging from 25 to about 50 nucleotides. While their primary sequences are unrelated except for the invariant 5'-terminal G and 3'-terminal C clusters, their tentative secondary structures show a common principle: both their plus and minus strands have a stem at the 5' terminus, while the 3' terminus is unpaired. Direct accumulation of sufficient quantities of early template-free synthesis products by Q beta replicase is prevented by the inherent irreproducibility of the synthesis process and by the rapid change of the products during amplification by evolution processes, but large amounts of such RNA can be synthesized in vitro by transcription from the cDNA clones. RNA species produced in template-free reactions replicate much more slowly than the optimized RNA species characterized previously. These experimental results illustrate how biological information can be gained in small bits by trial and error.
Bleomycin-induced chromosome breaks as a risk marker for lung cancer: a case-control study with population and hospital controls (2003)

Environmental exposure to carcinogens and individual susceptibility play significant roles in cancer risk. Suboptimal DNA repair capability, measured by quantifying mutagen-induced chromosome breaks, might explain variable host susceptibility to environmental carcinogens. In an ongoing lung cancer case-control study, we compared individual sensitivity to bleomycin-induced chromosome breaks in 152 non-small cell lung cancer patients with 94 population controls and 85 hospital controls with no history of cancer. Mutagen sensitivity was measured by mean number of chromatid breaks per cell in cultured peripheral blood lymphocytes treated with bleomycin. Non-parametric tests and chi(2) tests were used to determine the statistical significance of the crude case-control comparisons, followed by logistic regression to adjust for important covariates. The mean number of bleomycin-induced breaks per cell was 1.01 for the cases compared with 0.86 for hospital controls (P < 0.01) and 0.89 for population controls (P < 0.01). The mean number of breaks per cell was 1.01 for those >65 years old and 0.81 for those < or = 65 years old (P < 0.01) among population controls. Defining bleomycin sensitive as >0.84 break/cell (the median level in population controls), 67% of the cases were bleomycin sensitive compared with 49% of the hospital controls [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.44, 5.04], and 51% of the population controls (adjusted OR = 2.18, 95% CI = 1.13, 4.21). Our data indicate that the increased number of bleomycin-induced chromosome breaks was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in the first 331 subjects.
The evolution matrix (2002)

One of the major problems in software evolution is coping with the complexity which stems from the huge amount of data that must be considered. The current approaches to deal with that problem all aim at a reduction of complexity and a filtering of the relevant information. In this paper we propose an approach based on a combination of software visualization and software metrics which we have already successfully applied in the field of software reverse engineering. Using this approach we discuss a simple and effective way to visualize the evolution of software systems which helps to recover the evolution of object oriented software systems.
Video Big Data Analytics in the Cloud: A Reference Architecture, Survey, Opportunities, and Open Research Issues (2020)

The proliferation of multimedia devices over the Internet of Things (IoT) generates an unprecedented amount of data. Consequently, the world has stepped into the era of big data. Recently, on the rise of distributed computing technologies, video big data analytics in the cloud has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners. The current technology and market trends demand an efficient framework for video big data analytics. However, the current work is too limited to provide a complete survey of recent research work on video big data analytics in the cloud, including the management and analysis of a large amount of video data, the challenges, opportunities, and promising research directions. To serve this purpose, we present this study, which conducts a broad overview of the state-of-the-art literature on video big data analytics in the cloud. It also aims to bridge the gap among large-scale video analytics challenges, big data solutions, and cloud computing. In this study, we clarify the basic nomenclatures that govern the video analytics domain and the characteristics of video big data while establishing its relationship with cloud computing. We propose a service-oriented layered reference architecture for intelligent video big data analytics in the cloud. Then, a comprehensive and keen review has been conducted to examine cutting-edge research trends in video big data analytics. Finally, we identify and articulate several open research issues and challenges, which have been raised by the deployment of big data technologies in the cloud for video big data analytics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that presents the generalized view of the video big data analytics in the cloud. This paper provides the research studies and technologies advancing the video analyses in the era of big data and cloud computing.
Bone lead measured by X-ray fluorescence: epidemiologic methods. (1995)

In vivo X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurement of bone lead concentration (XRF) has emerged as an important technique for future epidemiological studies of long-term toxicity. Several issues germane to epidemiologic methodology need to be addressed, however. First, sources of variability in measurements of bone lead need to be quantified, including imprecision related to the physical measurement itself and the variability of lead deposition over the two main compartments of bones (cortical vs. trabecular) and within each compartment. Imprecision related to the physical measurement can be estimated for each individual measurement based on the variability of the signal and background. Second, approaches to low-level data need to be debated. We argue for using the minimal detection limit (MDL) to compare instruments and interpret individual measurements; however, with regard to epidemiologic studies, we would abandon the MDL in favor of using all point estimates. In analyses using bone lead as an independent variable, statistical techniques can be used to adjust regression estimates based on estimates of measurement uncertainty and bone lead variability. Third, factors that can be expected to modify the relationship between bone lead and toxicity such as gravida history, endocrinological states, nutrition, and other important influences on bone metabolism, need to be identified and measured in epidemiologic studies. By addressing these issues, investigators will be able to maximize the utility of XRF measurements in environmental epidemiologic studies.
The use of computer assisted tomography to determine spatial distribution of soil water content (1983)

To date no experimental technique has been capable of directly and repetitively measuring spatial distributions of soil water content in a non-destructive manner. The potential of computer assisted tomography (CAT) to overcome this problem has been examined in this paper. The results obtained from a commercially-produced X-ray CAT scanner and a conventional gamma scanner suggest that CAT scanning can be used to determine spatial changes in soil water content with adequate resolution for soil-plant studies. The technique can clearly be used to resolve spatial changes in soil water content with time. Application of the technique to water uptake by a single plant root shows that CAT scanning presents an extremely exciting possibility for studies of soil-plant water relations.
