Extraction of a Micra Transcatheter Pacing System: First-in-human experience (2015)

Clinical trials investigating the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter leadless pacemakers in humans are ongoing.1,2 These devices offer the benefits of cardiac pacing with the potential for a significant decrease in many of the risks associated with conventional pacing systems, including hematoma formation, pneumothorax, lead-related complications, and vascular obstruction.3
Direct Controlled Polymerization of a Cationic Methacrylamido Monomer in Aqueous Media via the RAFT Process (2004)

Controlled radical polymerization (CRP) combines the benefits of the robust nature of conventional radical polymerization with the ability to prepare advanced macromolecular architectures common to living polymerization techniques. Of the major CRP techniques, the reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) technique appears to be the most tolerant of aqueous reaction conditions and a variety of monomer functionalities. To date, however, there have been no reports of the RAFT polymerization of a cationic (meth)acrylamido monomer directly in aqueous media. Herein we report the polymerization of N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide (DMAPMA) directly in aqueous media utilizing 4-cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate (CTP) as the chain transfer agent (CTA). Polymerization in water at neutral pH allowed a moderate level of control over the polymerization up to 50% conversion. Polymerization in an aqueous buffer (pH = 5), on the other hand, afforded excellent control up to 98% conversion (Mn = 38 000, Mw/Mn = 1.12). Purification of the poly(DMAPMA) macro-CTA under conditions that minimize the exposure of the macro-CTA to an unbuffered aqueous environment was necessary for the retention of functional chain ends. Block copolymers of DMAPMA and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) or (ar-vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride (VBTAC) were successfully prepared from a macro-chain-transfer agent (macro-CTA) of poly(DMAPMA).
Practical frequency hopping sequence design for interference avoidance in 802.15.4e TSCH networks (2015)

As the popularity of wireless communication increases rapidly, the unlicensed Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band becomes crowded. Interference avoidance thus becomes an important issue when designing wireless communication in the unlicensed ISM band. As shown in related works, channel hopping with blacklisting is a promising mechanism addressing interference in 802.15.4e time slotted channel hopping (TSCH) networks. However, the blacklisting mechanism changes the number of channels used, and thus requiring the frequency hopping sequence (FHS) be regenerated. A time-random channel selection mechanism avoids regeneration overhead; however, it breaks close-to-optimality property of the default FHSs, which in turns leads to high probability of interference. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that generates FHSs in presence of interference without regeneration overhead, and at the same time maintains the optimality property. With the new proposed mechanism, we can generate FHSs with one designed original sequence. Analysis and simulation results show that optimal/near optimal properties are achieved by these new FHSs.
A smart meeting room scheduling and management system with utilization control and ad-hoc support based on real-time occupancy detection (2016)

In most meeting room scheduling or management system, the availability of meeting rooms are mainly based on pre-determined schedules. However, since the meeting duration is not always exact as it is scheduled, there are some situations that a meeting room is underutilized. Therefore, in this paper, we present a smart meeting room scheduling and management system which detect occupancy status of meeting rooms in realtime and integrate this information into the scheduling application to support ad-hoc meetings and increase room utilization. Our system is a simple, ease-of-implementation solution based on PIR sensor fusion devices and Ethernet connectivity. Occupancy data is sent to a central application server by UDP over IP protocols. On this server, a web application is developed and hosted to not only allow people book rooms for their meetings, but also check the utilization of these rooms based on predefined policies. The system also supports ad-hoc meetings by providing real-time availability of meeting rooms to users.
Web Services Essentials (2002)

From the Publisher:
As a developer new to Web Services, how do you make sense of this emerging framework so you can start writing your own services today? This concise book gives programmers both a concrete introduction and a handy reference to XML web services, first by explaining the foundations of this new breed of distributed services, and then by demonstrating quick ways to create services with open-source Java tools. Web Services make it possible for diverse applications to discover each other and exchange data seamlessly via the Internet. For instance, programs written in Java and running on Solaris can find and call code written in C# that run on Windows XP, or programs written in Perl that run on Linux, without any concern about the details of how that service is implemented. A common set of Web Services is at the core of Microsoft's new .NET strategy, Sun Microsystems's Sun One Platform, and the W3C's XML Protocol Activity Group. In this book, author Ethan Cerami explores four key emerging technologies: 
XML Remote Procedure Calls (XML-RPC)
SOAP - The foundation for most commercial Web Services development
Universal Discovery, Description and Integration (UDDI)
Web Services Description Language (WSDL)

For each of these topics, Web Services Essentials provides a quick overview, Java tutorials with sample code, samples of the XML documents underlying the service, and explanations of freely-available Java APIs. Cerami also includes a guide to the current state of Web Services, pointers to open-source tools and a comprehensive glossary of terms. If you want to break through the Web Serviceshype and find useful information on these evolving technologies, look no further than Web Services Essentials.

Implementation of a prototype superdatabase (2002)

The Harmony heterogeneous database system with superdatabase architecture for heterogeneous transaction processing has been developed. The authors report on the implementation experience of the Harmony prototype, including the Supernova, an instance of superdatabase and three different component databases. The Supernova glues the system together. It distributes the global supertransaction to the component databases, logs the supertransaction for recovery, and validates the global serialization of the component transactions when they complete. Supernova has two important parts: The first maintains global concurrency control; the second is the distributed commit. The key problem in heterogeneous commit is the translation between different commit protocols. Supernova maintains a table of procedures that implements the commit process for each type of commit protocol. The actual commit protocol is table driven to allow easy addition of new protocols. Supernova/Ultrix currently integrates three different component databases: a modified version of university INGRES running on SUNOS, a CAMELOT server running on the MACH operating system (on a Microvax), and the Nova relational database manager.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Technologies for 3D Model Watermarking: A Survey (2007)

Due to the explosive growth of Internet and the development of digital content designing and processing techniques, many valuable materials can be represented in digital forms for exhibition and access via Internet. Due to the characteristics of easy duplication and modification of digital contents, it is necessary to develop a variety of watermarking techniques for various protection purposes such as ownership claiming and authentication. In this survey paper, we examine 3D model watermarking technologies developed over the last decade. We classify various algorithms into two classes: robust watermarking and fragile watermarking. We describe main ideas behind each class, and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithms in each class. Finally, we address some trends in the 3D model watermarking technology development. Key words: 3D watermarking, 3D mesh, Digital signature, Copyright protection, information security 1.
NCR3/NKp30 Contributes to Pathogenesis in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (2013)

Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by a lymphocytic exocrinopathy. However, patients often have evidence of systemic autoimmunity, and they are at markedly increased risk for the development of non- Hodgkin's lymphoma. Similar to other autoimmune disorders, a strong interferon (IFN) signature is present among subsets of pSS patients, although the precise etiology remains uncertain. NCR3/NKp30 is a natural killer (NK)-specific activating receptor regulating the cross talk between NK and dendritic cells and type II IFN secretion. We performed a case-control study of genetic polymorphisms of the NCR3/NKp30 gene and found that rs11575837 (G>A) residing in the promoter was associated with reduced gene transcription and function as well as protection to pSS. We also demonstrated that circulating levels of NCR3/NKp30 were significantly increased among pSS patients compared with controls and correlated with higher NCR3/NKp30 but not CD16-dependent IFN-γ secretion by NK cells. Excess accumulation of NK cells in minor salivary glands correlated with the severity of the exocrinopathy. B7H6, the ligand of NKp30, was expressed by salivary epithelial cells. These findings suggest that NK cells may promote an NKp30-dependent inflammatory state in salivary glands and that blockade of the B7H6/NKp30 axis could be clinically relevant in pSS.

The Nucleotide Sequence of the Matrix (M) Protein Gene of Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) Strain AF 2240 (1999)

The complete nucleotide sequence of the matrix (M) protein gene of the local Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain AF 2240 was determined. Based on consensus primers, several segments of the M gene were reverse transcribed and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. The RT-PCR products were cloned into a plasmid vector pCR™2.1. The DNA inserts in the clones were then cycle-sequenced. The start and polyadenylation signals have been identified. Assuming that the M gene starts and terminates at these sequences, the M gene is 1223 nucleotides long and encodes an open reading frame of 364 amino acids, corresponding to a polypeptide calculated molecular weight of 40 kDa. The M protein, is both hydrophobic and basic. Phylogenetic analysis shows that the strain has a close relationship with the North American Fontana strain. The M protein amino acid sequence also shows similarities with members of the Rub ulavirus genus such as the Simian virus 5, the human parainfluenza virus type 4 and the mumps virus. Similarities of the amino acid sequence also exist between the local strain and other members of the Paramyxovirus and Morbillivirus genus.
New Memory Systems Constructed with Polyimide LB Films Having Azobenzene Pendant Groups: Behavior of In-Plane Anisotropic Photoisomerization, Photoinduced Optical Anisotropy, and Anisotropic Photofading (1993)

Abstract Polyamic acids functionalized by azobenzene units possessing p-methoxy (3a) and p-nitro (3b) subtituents as pendant groups were newly synthesized for photomemory materials. Langmuir-Blogdett (LB) films of polyimides 5a and 5b were prepared by “Precursor Method” via LB films of polyamic acid long alkyl amine salts 4a and 4b. FTIR transmission and RA spectroscopy revealed conformational change of the pendant azobenzene groups between polyamic acid and polyimide LB films. Three kinds of new photomemory systems were fabricated using the polyimide LB films. In the beginning, the polyimide LB film of 5a performed in-plane anisotropic trans-cis photoisomerization on irradiation of the linearly polarized light at 400 nm. The reversible change (erase) was achieved by irradiation at 500 nm. Second, reversible photoinduced optical anisotropic property was observed in this LB film of 5a, which was caused by the alternative polarized light at 400 nm and nonpolarized light at 500 nm. The anisotropic property was erased by irradiation of the nonpolarized light at 400 nm. The third example was in-plane anisotropic photofading in the LB film of 5b. After irradiation of the polarized argon ion laser to the LB film, decrease in absorption due to photo-bleaching of chromophore was observed selectively in the parallel plane to the incident polarization.
Design of Self Swellable Casing Centralizer for Zonal Isolation in Petroleum Wells - A Utility Model of Well Completion Tool (2012)

In view of the problem that fluid channeling between zones resulting from poor quality of cement sheath, a new casing centralizer is designed. The centralizer can make casing string in position as usual and seals micro-channels by the oil/water swellable rubber. Swellable rubber slices are inlaid in centralizer edges to add sealing efficiency. In order to seal diversion trenches effectively, axial moveable rubber bars are designed. During slurry injection, rubber bars are pushed upwards by differential pressure to open the flowpathes; after displacement, rubber bars reset under spring force. So, a circular sealing strip is formed by rubber slices and rubber bars for zonal isolation. In the paper, structure and working principle of this tool are described, materials and components are matched, structure strength is calculated, and the feasibility of the new tool is discussed.
Turbulence, Coherent Structures, Dynamical Systems and Symmetry (1996)

For turbulent flows at relatively low speeds there exists an excellent mathematical model in the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. Why then is the 'problem of turbulence' so difficult? One reason is that these nonlinear partial differential equations appear to be insoluble, except through numerical simulations, which offer useful approximations but little direct understanding. Three recent developments offer new hope. First, the discovery by experimentalists of coherent structures in certain turbulent flows. Secondly, the suggestion that strange attractors and other ideas from finite-dimensional dynamical systems theory might play a role in the analysis of the governing equations. And, finally, the introduction of the Karhunen-Loève or proper orthogonal decomposition. This book introduces these developments and describes how they may be combined to create low-dimensional models of turbulence, resolving only the coherent structures. This book will interest engineers, especially in the aerospace, chemical, civil, environmental and geophysical areas, as well as physicists and applied mathematicians concerned with turbulence.
UniPrime: a workflow-based platform for improved universal primer design (2008)

UniPrime is an open-source software (http://uniprime.batlab.eu), which automatically designs large sets of universal primers by simply inputting a gene ID reference. UniPrime automatically retrieves and aligns homologous sequences from GenBank, identifies regions of conservation within the alignment and generates suitable primers that can amplify variable genomic regions. UniPrime differs from previous automatic primer design programs in that all steps of primer design are automated, saved and are phylogenetically limited. We have experimentally verified the efficiency and success of this program by amplifying and sequencing four diverse genes (AOF2, EFEMP1, LRP6 and OAZ1) across multiple Orders of mammals. UniPrime is an experimentally validated, fully automated program that generates successful cross-species primers that take into account the biological aspects of the PCR.
PCR under Low Ionic Concentration Buffer Conditions (2018)

Abstract A new polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system using a low‐salt concentration buffer was developed, which is suitable for electrical PCR process monitoring. Using Taq polymerase in 10 mM of Tris‐HCl buffer without KCl, the PCR progressed and the target DNA PCR products were produced. As the ionic concentration in PCR buffer solution decreased, the quantity of PCR products decreased, but the PCR products could be detected down to a total ion concentration of 5 mM. Single nucleotide polymorphism typing was also successful under 10 mM of Tris‐HCl without KCl. Both alleles (G or T) were detected clearly.
Adaptive real-time monitoring for large-scale networked systems (2009)

The focus of this thesis is continuous real-time monitoring, which is essential for the realization of adaptive management systems in large-scale dynamic environments. Real-time monitoring provides the necessary input to the decision-making process of network management. We have developed, implemented, and evaluated a design for real-time continuous monitoring of global metrics with performance objectives, such as monitoring overhead and estimation accuracy. Global metrics describe the state of the system as a whole, in contrast to local metrics, such as device counters or local protocol states, which capture the state of a local entity. Global metrics are computed from local metrics using aggregation functions, such as SUM, AVERAGE and MAX. A key part in the design is a model for the distributed monitoring process that relates performance metrics to parameters that tune the behavior of a monitoring protocol. The model has been instrumental in designing a monitoring protocol that is controllable and achieves given performance objectives. Our design has proved to be effective in meeting performance objectives, efficient, adaptive to changes in the networking conditions, controllable along different performance dimensions, and scalable. We have implemented a prototype on a testbed of commercial routers, which proves the feasibility of the design, and, more generally, the feasibility of effective and efficient real-time monitoring in large network environments.
The enzymatic activity of ADAM8 and ADAM9 is not regulated by TIMPs (2002)

The ADAM family of proteases are type I transmembrane proteins with both metalloproteinase and disintegrin containing extracellular domains. ADAMs are implicated in the proteolytic processing of membrane-bound precursors and involved in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. ADAM8 (MS2, CD156) has been identified in myeloid and B cells. In this report we demonstrate that soluble ADAM8 is an active metalloprotease in vitro and is able to hydrolyse myelin basic protein and a variety of peptide substrates based on the cleavage sites of membrane-bound cytokines, growth factors and receptors which are known to be processed by metalloproteinases. Interestingly, although ADAM8 was inhibited by a number of peptide analogue hydroxamate inhibitors, it was not inhibited by the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). We also demonstrate that the activity of recombinant soluble ADAM9 (meltrin-gamma, MDC9) lacks inhibition by the TIMPs, but can be inhibited by hydroxamate inhibitors. The lack of TIMP inhibition of ADAM8 and 9 contrasts with other membrane-associated metalloproteinases characterised to date in this respect (ADAM10, 12, 17, and the membrane-type metalloproteinases) which have been implicated in protein processing at the cell surface.
Defects pattern recognition for flip-chip solder joint quality inspection with laser ultrasound and Interferometer (2004)

A defects pattern recognition system has been developed for the flip-chip solder joint quality inspection by using laser ultrasound and interferometric techniques. This system extracts error ratio and dominant frequency as features from ultrasound waveforms. It also performs a cluster analysis of those feature vectors by applying probabilistic neural network classification algorithm. The system can automatically classify chips into different clusters and can, therefore, find differences between good and bad chips, as well as classifying the type of defect.
<title>Video coding using entropy-constrained trellis coded quantization</title> (1994)

Subband coding is becoming a viable compression method for video transmission, since the subband system can be efficiently split into a base layer and an enhancement layer without incurring any overhead. This is desirable in ATM and other packet networks. The base layer can be a standard coding algorithm such as H.261 or MPEG. In a subband-based video coding system, the higher-frequency subbands contain a small amount of the signal energy, but a large fraction of the subband data. Coarsely quantizing this higher-frequency information can achieve the desired bit rate, but will lead to lower resolution since the high frequency edges are perceptually important. In this paper, methods are studied to minimize the distortion of the coarsely coded higher frequency subbands through the use of entropy-constrained trellis coded quantization (ECTCQ) and entropy-constrained vector quantization (ECVQ).
The Usage of Turbo Code in the Signal of Galileo System (2007)

This paper is used to simulate and realize the CDMA code -turbo code in the Galileo System. In Galileo system the signal is very complex which autocorrelation function needs very good property. How to use the code efficiency to improve the channel performance is a significant problem especially in the Galileo system. There are five parts in the paper. We show the general meaning of signal of Galileo system in the part I, part II is the general ides about Galileo frequency signals, part III is the principle of the turbo code and the BOC modulation, part IV is the simulation about turbo code in the Galileo system, and part V is the conclusion in the paper. It firstly gives the idea of turbo code which used in the signal of Galileo system. We use the complexity of the method of code to compensate for the reliability of information. The results of simulation realize the rate of 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 spread code which efficiency is near to the theoretical values.
