Two New Xanthones from <i>Hypericum sampsonii</i> and biological activity of the isolated compounds (2010)

Phytochemical investigation of the CH(2) Cl(2) extract of the aerial part of Hypericum sampsonii yielded two new prenylated xanthones, hypericumxanthone A and B, together with three known xanthones. Their structures were elucidated by analysis of physical and spectral (UV, IR, mass and NMR) data and comparison of spectroscopic data with those reported previously. All these compounds were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Two new compounds were also tested for their cytotoxicity against human breast (MCF-7), hepatoma (HepG2), colon (HT-29) and lung (A549) tumour cell lines. Two new compounds showed moderate antibacterial activities at minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 16 and 32 µg/mL, respectively, whereas the positive standard antibacterial drug, vancomycin, showed an MIC of 8 µg/mL. The other compounds were inactive against MRSA. In addition, hypericumxanthone B showed weak inhibitory activities against four human tumour cell lines.
Physical Layer Network Isolation in Multi-tenant Clouds (2010)

The isolation capabilities provided by conventional enterprise data center technology are inadequate for many clients of multi-tenant storage or compute clouds. To address this deficiency we propose a cloud architecture which relies on strategic deployment of physical layer network isolation. We show how improved client isolation can be realized with 'color gapping' using existing Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing technologies, and demonstrate how in some settings isolation can be visually verified by clients. To address the challenging problem of isolating multiple clients' Virtual Machines within a single physical server, we introduce a novel application of distributed bridging based on Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregators.
Layout decomposition of self-aligned double patterning for 2D random logic patterning (2011)

Self-aligned double pattering (SADP) has been adapted as a promising solution for sub-30nm technology nodes due to its lower overlay problem and better process tolerance. SADP is in production use for 1D dense patterns with good pitch control such as NAND Flash memory applications, but it is still challenging to apply SADP to 2D random logic patterns. The favored type of SADP for complex logic interconnects is a two mask approach using a core mask and a trim mask. In this paper, we first describe layout decomposition methods of spacer-type double patterning lithography, then report a type of SADP compliant layouts, and finally report SADP applications on Samsung 22nm SRAM layout. For SADP decomposition, we propose several SADP-aware layout coloring algorithms and a method of generating lithography-friendly core mask patterns. Experimental results on 22nm node designs show that our proposed layout decomposition for SADP effectively decomposes any given layouts.
Anatomic Single-bundle ACL Reconstruction (2009)

A critical evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques has revealed that single-bundle grafts placed by conventional transtibial drilling do not provide adequate restraint to translational and rotatory forces. In some knees, this will affect function and possibly contribute to chondral injuries. The method of 2-bundle ACL reconstruction has evolved partly to address these concerns with the premise that greater rotational stability will be provided by 2-bundle grafts. Although the question of what constitutes rotational stability is still debated, the methodology of 2-bundle ACL reconstructions has clearly reinforced the need to center grafts within the native ACL insertions. When the principles of anatomic graft placement are combined with an independent drilling method, then single-bundle grafts can restore physiologic laxity to the knee. A thorough knowledge of the ACL insertions is necessary and an independent drilling method using an anteromedial portal is required. The technique for anteromedial portal drilling requires adjustments to permit knee flexion over 125 degrees when drilling. Grafts positioned in this fashion will tend to lengthen in extension and fixation may be accomplished with the knee in close to full extension.
Finance and the Regulatory Environment — An Introduction (1996)

The pace of new regulation has been quite rapid in the United States during the past fifteen years. Consider the number of major pieces of legislation that have been passed during this time span and you immediately gain insight into this fast‐paced regulatory climate. It has been argued by some that oversight during the 1980s was lax and that regulations were much less enforced than in previous decades. This may be true in certain areas such as antitrust enforcement, but there can be no doubt that the total body of regulation has been expanding continuously.

A Uniform Parcel Delivery System Based on IoT (2018)

Nowadays, many different kinds of delivery companies transport their own kinds of parcels and offer their own services, which have caused a lot waste of resources. In addition, the volume of parcels in all cities that need to be delivered has been grown dramatically. To cope with these problems, a uniform parcel delivery system in a smart city which can offer service to all kinds of customers in the city including manufactures, department stores, restaurants, individual people and so forth was designed. This system uses IoT (Internet of Things) and RFID technology, combining computer network technology, wireless communication and cloud computing. With this system, the whole package delivery process including classification of packages, vehicle scheduling, path planning, transportation monitoring can be intellectualized as well as managed automatically, and the use of both material resources and manpower resources can be reduced accordingly.

Super Bowl Team Tones: Analyzing Patriots and Seahawks Blogospheres (2016)

In an introductory undergraduate media course, Super Bowl XLIX was used as a hands-on vehicle to introduce students to the discipline of mass-media research. From a week before and after Super Bowl XLIX, 269 original blog posts and 91 sets of appended comments from Web sites devoted to the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots were analyzed for significant differences using Diction 7.0, a common word-counting program that measures tone in dozens of ways. More than a dozen variations found in the blog messages are used to describe a “team tone” unique to Seahawks blogs and another unique to Patriots blogs. Some elements of these team tones are present across all messages, while others existed only before the game was played or arose only after New England’s dramatic win in the closing moments. Postgame variations include greater optimism in the tone of New England Patriots bloggers and greater hardship and denial in the tone of Seattle Seahawks bloggers. Results are discussed from the perspective of social-identity theory.
Sifting through Nine Years of NIST Clock Data with TA2 (1994)

We have extended the new TA2 post-processed time scale at the NIST beyond our previous reports to include all of the period from January 1984 to December 1992. Derived from the ensemble of clocks at the NIST, this time scale includes the benefits of several recent refinements to the algorithm. By iteratively running the algorithm on the ensemble clock data and characterizing anomalous behaviour in the dominant individual clocks of the ensemble between iterations, we obtain an optimized scale which benefits from the informed anticipation of that anomalous behaviour and demonstrates an overall decrease in scale disruption. Herein we discuss changes to the TA2 algorithm that we made while processing the eight-year run, our method of characterizing anomalous behaviour in individual clocks, the way unanticipated anomalous behaviour is dealt with by the algorithm, and our resulting nine-year time scale.
Monitoring the crystallization from solution of a reactive dye by ultrasound (2000)

Ultrasound has potential to be used as a process monitoring tool alongside other techniques, such as pH, conductivity and dielectric measurements, tomography and optical turbidity. This paper outlines the development of a small volume test cell designed to monitor crystallization from solution in real time using low power ultrasound. The associated software is described and a series of experiments that have been carried out on a crystallizing orange reactive dye (BASF plc) are presented. Ultrasound has been used to monitor the crystallization process and the measurements yield data that separate into two distinct groups. These correspond to whether the dye is stirred or unstirred whilst crystallizing. Optical microscopy shows that well-dispersed crystals or extended networks of closely associated crystals are formed respectively. It was not possible to determine the principal physical constants of the crystallizing material due to its nature, so detailed theoretical modelling of the crystallization could not be achieved. Nevertheless, the phenomenological results indicate that the technique has potential to be incorporated into rugged instrumentation for monitoring crystallization in an industrial process environment.
Minimizing Electricity Cost: Optimization of Distributed Internet Data Centers in a Multi-Electricity-Market Environment (2010)

The study of Cyber-Physical System (CPS) has been an active area of research. Internet Data Center (IDC) is an important emerging Cyber-Physical System. As the demand on Internet services drastically increases in recent years, the power used by IDCs has been skyrocketing. While most existing research focuses on reducing power consumptions of IDCs, the power management problem for minimizing the total electricity cost has been overlooked. This is an important problem faced by service providers, especially in the current multi-electricity market, where the price of electricity may exhibit time and location diversities. Further, for these service providers, guaranteeing quality of service (i.e. service level objectives-SLO) such as service delay guarantees to the end users is of paramount importance. This paper studies the problem of minimizing the total electricity cost under multiple electricity markets environment while guaranteeing quality of service geared to the location diversity and time diversity of electricity price. We model the problem as a constrained mixed-integer programming and propose an efficient solution method. Extensive evaluations based on real-life electricity price data for multiple IDC locations illustrate the efficiency and efficacy of our approach.
A Novel Single-Step Self-Assembly Approach for the Fabrication of Tissue-Engineered Vascular Constructs (2009)

There is a clinical need for a functional tissue-engineered blood vessel because small-caliber arterial graft (<5 mm) applications are limited by the availability of suitable autologous vessels and suboptimal performances of synthetic grafts. This study presents an analysis of the mechanical properties of tissue-engineered vascular constructs produced using a novel single-step self-assembly approach. Briefly, the tissue-engineered vascular media were produced by culturing smooth muscle cell in the presence of sodium l-ascorbate until the formation of a cohesive tissue sheet. This sheet was then rolled around a tubular support to create a media construct. Alternatively, the tissue-engineered vascular adventitia was produced by rolling a tissue sheet obtained from dermal fibroblasts or saphenous vein fibroblasts. The standard self-assembly approach to obtain the two-layer tissue-engineered vascular constructs comprising both media and adventitia constructs consists of two steps in which tissue-engineered vascular media were first rolled on a tubular support and a tissue-engineered vascular adventitia was then rolled on top of the first layer. This study reports an original alternative method for assembling tissue-engineered vascular constructs comprising both media and an adventitia in a single step by rolling a continuous tissue sheet containing both cell types contiguously. This tissue sheet was produced by growing smooth muscle cells alongside fibroblasts (saphenous vein fibroblasts or dermal fibroblasts) in the same culture dish separated by a spacer, which is removed later in the culture period. The mechanical strength assessed by uniaxial tensile testing, burst pressure measurements, and viscoelastic behavior evaluated by stepwise stress relaxation tests reveals that the new single-step fabrication method significantly improves the mechanical properties of tissue-engineered vascular construct for both ultimate tensile strength and all the viscoelastic moduli.
Generator Automatic Control System (2018)

The generator automatic control (GAC) function, one of the main functions of the generating plant management system (hereafter referred to as “GAC system”), works with various input signals for generators which are sent by digital multiplex transmission or as individual signals. GAC functions include generator voltage monitoring, bus voltage and frequency monitoring, generator synchronizing (paralleling), load sharing control, and load shift control (Jiang 2005). The GAC system is composed of the two sets of programmable controller and one set of the digital synchronizer and one set of check synchronizer CSQ-3.

Efficient multi-party digital signature using adaptive secret sharing for low-power devices in wireless networks (2009)

In this paper, we propose an efficient multi-party signature scheme for wireless networks where a given number of signees can jointly sign a document, and it can be verified by any entity who possesses the certified group public key. Our scheme is based on an efficient threshold key generation scheme which is able to defend against both static and adaptive adversaries. Specifically, our key generation method employs the bit commitment technique to achieve efficiency in key generation and share refreshing; our share refreshing method provides proactive protection to long-lasting secret and allows a new signee to join a signing group. We demonstrate that previous known approaches are not efficient in wireless networks, and the proposed multi-party signature scheme is flexible, efficient, and achieves strong security for low-power devices in wireless networks.
Analysis of related factors affecting lung metastasis in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (2018)

Objective
To investigate the related factors of lung metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, to predict the occurrence of lung metastasis, and to diagnose it early.


Methods
A retrospective study was performed on 405 cases of DTC patients who were admitted from July 2016 to June 2018.General and clinical data of the patients were collected, including gender, age, clinic pathologic type, occupation, environmental status, primary lesion size, TSH inhibition and gene mutation.Single factor analysis of log-rank and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed.The regression equation was established based on the results of multiple regression analysis, and the prediction accuracy of the equation was tested.


Results
Among 405 DTC patients, 68 had lung metastasis.Univariate analysis showed that smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, occupational exposure, body mass index, pathological type, number of primary lesions, invasion of extraneous thyroid tissue and mediastinal lymph node metastasis were 7 significant factors influencing lung metastasis of DTC.Multiple Logistic regression analysis suggested that the pathological type, number of primary lesions, mediastinal lymph node metastasis and body mass index were independent factors influencing lung metastasis of DTC (P<0.05). 


Conclusion
Pathological type, number of primary lesions, mediastinal lymph node metastasis and body mass index are the related factors affecting DTC lung metastasis.In view of this kind of patients, clinical attention should be strengthened to improve the regular review and follow-up work.

Docetaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. (1997)

A pilot phase II study examined the feasibility of 75 mg/m2 of docetaxel (Taxotere) in combination with 50 mg/m2 of doxorubicin and 500 mg/m2 of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar) in the first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the docetaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide combination both alone and as induction before high-dose chemotherapy, supplemented by autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation. Patients were divided into three groups: one group received 8 courses of docetaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide; the second received 4 to 6 courses of the same combination with cell sampling, followed by high-dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation; and the third group's regimen was identical to that of the second, with additional granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF, filgrastim [Neupogen]). Of 28 patients (149 courses) evaluable for toxicity and response, the overall response rate was 82%, with 5 (18%) complete responses and 18 (64%) partial responses. The most frequent hematologic toxicity was neutropenia; grade 4 neutropenia occurred in 86% of patients, with febrile neutropenia in 9 patients (18%). There was no incidence of infection, possibly because of the administration of oral ciprofloxacin (Cipro) from days 5 to 15 of each cycle. Nonhematologic adverse events were not severe; there was no significant cardiotoxicity. Future randomized trials of docetaxel/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide as first-line adjuvant therapy of high-risk patients and as induction chemotherapy are in development.
Approximation algorithm for the temperature-aware scheduling problem (2007)

The paper addresses the problem of performance optimization for a set of periodic tasks with discrete voltage/frequency states under thermal constraints. We prove that the problem is NP-hard, and present a pseudo-polynomial optimal algorithm and a fully polynomial time approximation technique (FPTAS) for the problem. The FPTAS technique is able to generate solutions in polynomial time that are guaranteed to be within a designer specified quality bound (QB) (say within 1% of the optimal). We evaluate our techniques by experimentation with multimedia and synthetic benchmarks mapped on the 70 nm CMOS technology processor. The experimental results demonstrate our techniques are able to match optimal solutions when QB is set at 5%, can generate solutions that arc quite close to optimal ( 25%) for large task sets with 120 nodes (while the optimal solution takes several hundred seconds). We also analyze the effect of different thermal parameters, such as the initial temperature, the final temperature and the thermal resistance.

<title>Monitoring and control of electric power generation using fiber optics for physical parameter sensing</title> (1995)

This paper is an `extended abstract' for a more complete presentation at the SPIE Conference on Nondestructive Evaluation of Aging Infrastructure, scheduled for June 6 - 8, 1995 Oakland, California. The physical and economic climate of electric power generation, particularly for aging fossil-fuel plants, is reviewed. This calls for reliable sensing and monitoring/control systems to extend equipment life and preclude major breakdowns. An instrumentation system requirement is outlined for a cold reheat header located in the high temperature and contaminated/corrosive environment of the fluc-gas stream of a 480 MW fossil-fuel boiler. The development and installation of what is believed to be the world's first distributed fiber optic temperature and strain/displacement monitoring system, operating at 1100 degrees F, is reviewed. The nature of initial data acquisition and planned future system operation for improved plant health are presented. The installation of a discrete fiber optic system for main steam lines is also presented. Drawing on the technology and experience with the aforementioned development and installation, the planned function of the system is to provide data on thermally induced stresses (creep) for strain reduction by operational control.
