Total War at Sea (1989)

In the last quarter of the twentieth century total war means nuclear war. This is a difficult subject to address. The literature devoted to it is naturally copious. Every aspect of the problem has been tackled and from most points of view. Henry Kissinger's impressive record as a major actor in international politics adds to the significance of the book that launched his career in 1957: Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy. He has had few rivals, but many successors and imitators. Scientists have always had much to contribute to the debate. In 1950 Einstein warned his American television audience of the risk of 'general annihilation'. In 1983 a conference of scientists at Cambridge, Massachusets was told that war might well be followed by an almost equally catastrophic 'nuclear winter'. Crudely summarised, the theory was that enough nuclear explosions would produce smoke and dust in sufficient quantities to obscure the light of the sun, sharply lower the temperature and, when combined with other effects, jeopardise the survival of the species in at least the northern hemisphere.2KeywordsNuclear WeaponBallistic MissileAmerican WriterCentral FrontNuclear WarheadThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Thickness measurement of transparent glass plates using a lateral shearing cyclic path optical configuration setup and polarization phase shifting interferometry (2010)

We present a measurement technique to determine the thickness of a transparent glass plate (GP) by using a lateral shearing cyclic path optical configuration (CPOC) setup and polarization phase shifting interferometry (PPSI). In the technique, the GP introduces a longitudinal shift in the focus of the beam and, as a result, a spherical wavefront emerges from the lens, which is otherwise set for producing a collimated beam. Using CPOC, two laterally sheared orthogonally polarized beams are generated from the incident spherical wavefront. By applying PPSI, the slope of the optical path difference variation between the laterally sheared interfering beams is evaluated, and the radius of the spherical wavefront and the longitudinal shift of the beam focus are calculated. The thickness of the GP is determined from the standard relation between the longitudinal shift of the focus introduced by the GP and the thickness of the GP. Results obtained for a GP of 9.810mm thickness are presented.

A data model for management of network device configuration heterogeneity (2015)

The management of the configuration of network devices is a complex process, due to both the number of devices and parameters to take into consideration, and most importantly to the widely varying ways in which such parameters can be queried and modified on each device. Each equipment vendor provides its own command-line interface or management protocol where parameters are structured in a different way, and even multiple equipments from the same vendor may need to be interacted with differently. In this paper, we present a generic data model for configuration information of network devices that takes into account vendor and version heterogeneity. Ultimately, a configuration query engine will allow a user to pinpoint a specific, abstract configuration parameter, and be given the proper sequence of commands to query that parameter on a device of given vendor and operating system version.
Figure-of-Merit Enhancement for Laterally Vibrating Lithium Niobate MEMS Resonators (2013)

This paper reports on figure-of-merit (FoM) enhancement techniques for a new class of lithium niobate (LN)-based microelectromechanical systems laterally vibrating resonators (LVRs). A weighted electrode configuration is used to experimentally demonstrate a more than 2× enhancement for the device electromechanical coupling k <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</sub> <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> , and an optimized reactive ion etch is used to attain straighter LN sidewalls and subsequently a 3× improvement in quality factor (Q=1300). As a result, the resonators orientated 30 ° to +y in the x-cut plane exhibited a k <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</sub> <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> of 21.7%, and a quality factor of 1300, effectively corresponding to an FoM of 280-the highest demonstrated to date for LVRs. These devices are expected to provide an unprecedented and unmatched platform for frequency-agile and adaptive RF filtering technology.

Anti‐CD22 and anti‐CD79b antibody‐drug conjugates preferentially target proliferating B cells (2016)

The findings support the proposed MOA: initial depletion of total B cells by antibody-mediated opsonization, followed by preferential, sustained depletion of proliferating B cells by the auristatin conjugate due to its anti-mitotic action. Delivering potent anti-mitotic agents to B cells via the specificity of monoclonal antibodies provides a means to eliminate pathogenic B cells in NHL with improved risk-benefit profiles over traditional chemotherapeutics.
Appearance-Based Gaze Tracking Through Supervised Machine Learning (2020)

Applications that use human gaze have become increasingly more popular in the domain of human-computer interfaces, and advances in eye gaze tracking technology over the past few decades have led to the development of promising gaze estimation techniques. In this paper, a low-cost, in-house video camera-based gaze tracking system was developed, trained and evaluated. Seminal gaze detection methods constrained the application space to indoor conditions, and in most cases techniques required intrusive hardware. More modern gaze detection techniques try to eliminate the use of any additional hardware to reduce monetary cost as well as undue burden to the user, all the while maintaining accuracy of detection. In this work, image acquisition was achieved using a low-cost USB web camera mounted at a fixed position on the viewing screen or laptop. In order to determine the point of gaze, the Viola Jones face detection algorithm is used to extract facial features from the image frame. The gaze is then calculated using image processing techniques to extract gaze features, namely related to the image position of the pupil. Thousands of images are classified and labeled to form an in-house database. A multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) was trained and tested on this data set to distinguish point of gaze from input face image. Cross validation was used to train the model. Confusion matrices, accuracy, precision, and recall are used to evaluate the performance of the classification model. Evaluation of the proposed appearance-based technique using two different kernel functions is also assessed in detail.
Monitoring Corrosion Behavior Using Acoustic Emission Techniques (2007)

Abstract Corrosion of steel in concrete can happen when reinforced concrete structures are in marine environments or when they are exposed to deicing salts. Chlorides can penetrate through the concrete and reach the level of the reinforcement, typically carbon steel. The formation of corrosion products can then lead to rust staining followed by concrete cracking, and spalling. Currently the condition of the steel is usually assessed primarily by monitoring half-cell potentials or by conducting polarization resistance tests from which corrosion rates can be determined. In addition, current flow between steel in salt-contaminated concrete and salt-free concrete can be used as a means of determining corrosion activity. All of this information is used to determine the level of damage and to make estimates of the residual life of the concrete structure. In this paper, the results of an investigation that examined electrochemical data and acoustic emission signals will be presented and compared. The assessments were made based on half-cell potentials, linear polarization resistance (LPR), as well as acoustic emission signals. Reinforced concrete specimens were exposed to salt water conditions as a function of time and electrochemical tests were also carried out as a function of time. Acoustic emission signals were determined after the specimens had been exposed to intermittent ponding of salt water for one year. One of the objectives of the project is to determine whether acoustic emission can offer more direct information about the extent of concrete damage. The use of acoustic emission is very attractive because a nondestructive method of damage assessment that is sensitive to cracks and crack propagation would be very desirable. In addition, it has been reported that acoustic emission may be able to give indications of damage at earlier stages and this would offer many advantages as well. The major focus of this paper will be on the correlation between electrochemical results and results obtained from acoustic emission.
Directed<i>ortho</i>Metalation−Boronation and Suzuki−Miyaura Cross Coupling of Pyridine Derivatives:  A One-Pot Protocol to Substituted Azabiaryls (2007)

A general method for the synthesis of azabiaryls 19a-t by a one-pot procedure involving a Directed ortho metalation (DoM)-boronation-Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling sequence is described. Aside from the three isomeric pyridyl carboxamides 15a-c, chloro-, fluoro-, and O-carbamoyl pyridines are adapted to this method providing a range of azabiaryls (Table 2). The method has an advantage in that it avoids the recognized difficult isolation of pyridyl boronic acids and their instability toward deboronation. The efficient synthesis of hydroxypicolinamides 12-14 (Scheme 3) by a one-pot metalation-boronation-oxidation sequence with the LDA-B(OiPr)3 in situ procedure that avoids self-condensation of incipient ortho-metalated species (Scheme 2) is delineated. The conversion of azabiaryls 19b,e,h,l into azafluorenones 20b,e,h,l by a directed remote metalation protocol is demonstrated (Table 3). A comprehensive survey of pyridyl boronates, of considerable interest in contemporary heterocyclic synthetic chemistry, is given (Figure 1).
Citrobacter amalonaticus Phytase on the Cell Surface of Pichia pastoris Exhibits High pH Stability as a Promising Potential Feed Supplement (2014)

Phytase expressed and anchored on the cell surface of Pichia pastoris avoids the expensive and time-consuming steps of protein purification and separation. Furthermore, yeast cells with anchored phytase can be used as a whole-cell biocatalyst. In this study, the phytase gene of Citrobacter amalonaticus was fused with the Pichia pastoris glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein homologue GCW61. Phytase exposed on the cell surface exhibits a high activity of 6413.5 U/g, with an optimal temperature of 60°C. In contrast to secreted phytase, which has an optimal pH of 5.0, phytase presented on the cell surface is characterized by an optimal pH of 3.0. Moreover, our data demonstrate that phytase anchored on the cell surface exhibits higher pH stability than its secreted counterpart. Interestingly, our in vitro digestion experiments demonstrate that phytase attached to the cell surface is a more efficient enzyme than secreted phytase.
Challenges and complexities of multifrequency atomic force microscopy in liquid environments (2014)

This paper illustrates through numerical simulation the complexities encountered in high-damping AFM imaging, as in liquid enviroments, within the specific context of multifrequency atomic force microscopy (AFM). The focus is primarily on (i) the amplitude and phase relaxation of driven higher eigenmodes between successive tip-sample impacts, (ii) the momentary excitation of non-driven higher eigenmodes and (iii) base excitation artifacts. The results and discussion are mostly applicable to the cases where higher eigenmodes are driven in open loop and frequency modulation within bimodal schemes, but some concepts are also applicable to other types of multifrequency operations and to single-eigenmode amplitude and frequency modulation methods.
On Removing Algorithmic Priority Inversion from Mission-critical Machine Inference Pipelines (2020)

The paper discusses algorithmic priority inversion in mission-critical machine inference pipelines used in modern neural-network-based cyber-physical applications, and develops a scheduling solution to mitigate its effect. In general, priority inversion occurs in real-time systems when computations that are of lower priority are performed together with or ahead of those that are of higher priority. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> In current machine intelligence software, significant priority inversion occurs on the path from perception to decision-making, where the execution of underlying neural network algorithms does not differentiate between critical and less critical data. We describe a scheduling framework to resolve this problem, and demonstrate that it improves the system’s ability to react to critical inputs, while at the same time reducing platform cost.
Random projections: A remedy for overfitting issues in time series prediction with echo state networks (2013)

Modelling time series is quite a difficult task. The last recent years, reservoir computing approaches have been proven very efficient for such problems. Indeed, thanks to recurrence in the connections between neurons, this approach is a powerful tool to catch and model time dependencies between samples. Yet, the prediction quality often depends on the trade-off between the number of neurons in the reservoir and the amount of training data. Supposedly, the larger the number of neurons, the richer the reservoir of dynamics. However, the risk of overfitting problem appears. Conversely, the lower the number of neurons is, the lower the risk of overfitting problem is but also the poorer the reservoir of dynamics is. We consider here the combination of an echo state network with a projection method to benefit from the advantages of the reservoir computing approach without needing to pay attention to overfitting problems due to a lack of training data.
Modelling of a low-pressure argon breakdown in combined fields (2005)

This paper reports the results of the detailed theoretical and Simulation study of the dependence of the breakdown voltage on the product of the gas pressure and the electrode separation (pd) under the simultaneous application of radio-frequency (rf) and dc fields. Calculations were performed by using a one-dimensional particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision code with three velocity components with a new secondary emission model. Our simulation results show that in combined discharges during breakdown an ambiguity region of the left-hand branch of the breakdown curve appears not only by increasing the rf voltage but also by decreasing it. In other words, with lowering of the pressure, the rf voltage first decreases and passes through an inflection point and a minimum on the breakdown curve and then it grows and approaches the turning point on the breakdown curve. In addition, simulation results are also compared with the theoretical predictions based on the phenomenological method. Analytical expressions for the rf breakdown voltage with a superimposed weak dc electric field corresponding to the minimum, to,the inflection point and to the turning point on the breakdown curve have been derived.
Role of histone acetylation and DNA methylation in the maintenance of the imprinted expression of the <i>H19</i> and <i>Igf2</i> genes (1999)

H19 and Igf2 are linked and reciprocally imprinted genes. We demonstrate that the histones associated with the paternally inherited and unexpressed H19 allele are less acetylated than those associated with the maternal expressed allele. Cell growth in the presence of inhibitors of either histone deacetylase or DNA methylation activated the silent Igf2 allele, whereas derepression of the silent H19 allele required combined inhibition of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. Our results indicate that histone acetylation as well as DNA methylation contribute to the somatic maintenance of H19 and Igf2 imprinting and that silencing of the imprinted alleles of these two genes is maintained via distinct mechanisms.
The long non-coding RNA GAS5 differentially regulates cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through activation of BRCA1 and p53 in human neuroblastoma (2016)

The long non-coding RNA GAS5 has been shown to modulate cancer proliferation in numerous human cancer systems and has been correlated with successful patient outcome. Our examination of GAS5 in neuroblastoma has revealed robust expression in both MYCN-amplified and non-amplified cell lines. Knockdown of GAS5 In vitro resulted in defects in cell proliferation, apoptosis, and induced cell cycle arrest. Further analysis of GAS5 clones revealed multiple novel splice variants, two of which inversely modulated with MYCN status. Complementation studies of the variants post-knockdown of GAS5 indicated alternate phenotypes, with one variant (FL) considerably enhancing cell proliferation by rescuing cell cycle arrest and the other (C2) driving apoptosis, suggesting a unique role for each in neuroblastoma cancer physiology. Global sequencing and ELISA arrays revealed that the loss of GAS5 induced p53, BRCA1, and GADD45A, which appeared to modulate cell cycle arrest in concert. Complementation with only the FL GAS5 clone could rescue cell cycle arrest, stabilizing HDM2, and leading to the loss of p53. Together, these data offer novel therapeutic targets in the form of lncRNA splice variants for separate challenges against cancer growth and cell death.
Rotor temperature estimation of squirrel cage induction motors by means of a combined scheme of parameter estimation and a thermal equivalent model (2003)

This paper deals with a rotor temperature estimation scheme for fan-cooled, mains-fed squirrel cage induction motors. The proposed technique combines a rotor resistance estimation method with a thermal equivalent circuit. Usually, rotor resistance estimation works quite well under rated load conditions. By contrast, if the motor is slightly loaded, rotor resistance estimation becomes inaccurate due to the small slip. Therefore, rotor temperature estimation under low load conditions may be estimate by a thermal equivalent model. In order to determine the rotor resistance and thus rotor temperature accurately, several machine parameters have to be obtained in advance. Load tests provide the leakage reactance and the iron losses of the induction machine. The stator resistance has to be measured separately. The parameters of the thermal equivalent model are a thermal resistance and a thermal capacitance. These parameters are derived from a heating test, where the reference temperature is provided from the parameter model in the time domain. This lumped thermal parameter model is based on the assumption that the total rotor temperature increase is caused by the total sum of the losses in the induction machine. Measuring results of a 1.5 kW and a 18.5 kW four pole, low voltage motor and a 210 kW, four pole high voltage motor are presented and compared.

Soldier fly, Hermetia illucens L., larvae as feed for channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), and blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner) (1987)

Abstract. Three feeding trials, involving pre-pupal larvae of soldier fly, Hermetia illucens L., grown on poultry manure, were conducted to assess: (1) channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus (Rafinesque), response to substitution of dried meal larvae for the fish meal component of the catfish diet and (2) if feeding 100% whole or chopped larvae to channel catfish or blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner), will support normal growth comparable to those fed a commercial diet. Effects on fish quality were also evaluated. Replacement of 10% fish meal with 10% soldier fly larvae resulted in slower growth over a 15-week period for subadult channel catfish grown in cages (trial 1). However, the replacement did not reduce growth rate significantly when channel catfish were grown in culture tanks at a slower growth rate (trial 2). Feeding 100% larvae did not provide sufficient dry matter or protein intake for good growth for either species grown in tanks (trials 2 and 3). Chopping of the larvae improved weight gain and efficiency of the utilization.
