Empirische Untersuchungen zur Wechselwirkung zwischen Objektform und Objektfarbe beim Benennen von Objekten und Farben (1999)

Obwohl schon eine Reihe von empirischen Untersuchungen zum Einfluss von Farbinformationen auf das Erkennen und Benennen von Objekten durchgeführt worden sind, liegen bis heute keine gesicherten Erkenntnisse bezüglich des Einflusses von Farbinformationen auf das Benennen von Objekten vor. In einigen der zu dieser Fragestellung durchgeführten Untersuchungen konnte ein positiver Einfluss von zusätzlich dargebotener Farbinformation auf das Erkennen und Benennen von Objekten (Price & Humphreys, 1989; Glaser & Glaser, 1993) nachgewiesen werden. Glaser und Glaser (1993) haben in ihren Untersuchungen nicht nur einen positiven Einfluss passender Farbinformation sondern auch einen negativen Effekt nicht passender Farbinformation auf die für das Objektbenennen benötigte Zeit finden können, d h. die von ihnen untersuchten Versuchspersonen benötigten mehr Zeit für das Benennen eines visuell dargebotenen Objektes, wenn gleichzeitig mit der Objektinformation eine nicht zu dem Objekt passende Farbe dargeboten wurde. In anderen Untersuchungen konnte kein statistisch signifikanter Einfluss von Farbinformationen auf das Erkennen und Benennen von Objekten gefunden werden (Ostergaard & Davidoff, 1985; Davidoff & Ostergaard, 1988, Biederman & Ju, 1988). Davidoff und Ostergaard (1988) fanden in ihren Experimenten, dass die zusätzliche Darbietung der dem zu benennenden Objekt entsprechende Farbe zwar das Benennen, aber nicht das Erkennen von Objekten beschleunigt. Sie lehnen aber die Annahme ab, dass zusätzlich dargebotene Farbinformation das Benennen von Objekten beschleunigt als Indiz für eine kognitive Verarbeitung von Farbinformationen zu sehen ist und argumentierten, dass bei Annahme einer Wechselwirkung zwischen Farb- und Objektinformationen auf kognitiver Ebene auch ein Einfluss von Farbinformationen auf das Erkennen von Objekten gefunden werden müsste. Sie führen weiter aus, dass sich diese Wechselwirkung nicht nur beim Benennen von Objekten sondern auch beim Benennen von Farben bemerkbar machen sollte, d. h. dass ein Farbe schnellet erkannt und benannt werden sollte, wenn zusätzlich zur zu benennenden Farbe ein Objekt dargeboten wird, welches die zu benennende Farbe als charakteristische Farbe trägt.
Comfortable Wristband Interface Measuring Myoelectric Pattern (2007)

In this paper, we propose a new haptic interface based on measurement of two-dimensional patterns of myoelectric potentials on a surface of a forearm. A myoelectric signal is an electrical impulse that produces contraction of muscle fibres in the body. Measuring high density 2D patterns of the myoelectric signals enables us to predict the movements of one's fingers and to estimate the related force. The key issue for realizing such a device that covers whole area of the forearm with high density electrode array is the wiring to each sensor element. The wires also constrain the motion of the forearm. To solve this problem, we adopt a two-dimensional communication (TDC) sheet as a substitution for the individual wires. Electrical power is also supplied through the TDC sheet to each sensor by microwave as well as the signal. Based on this technology, we show that a small sensing unit without electrical contacts to the TDC sheet can measure the EMG signal without the significant influence of the common mode noise
Strengthening People Analytics through Wearable IOT Device for Real-Time Data Collection (2019)

The organizations are evolving through technological advancements and building a novel tech- culture by implementing the People Analytics, Machine Learning, IOT and Artificial Intelligence. The digitalization of both structured and unstructured data has helped organizations to predict future events across all the functional areas, mainly - Marketing, Operations, Finance, Productions, and Human resource management. People analytics is leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) for improving business decisions related to acquisition, motivation, utilization, and retention of talented employees in the organizations. This paper attempts to study how organizations are leveraging technology and tools to radically transform the way HR and business leaders are using people data. In this paper, we have discussed a framework for real-time data analysis with the help of wearable IoT devices. We have considered wearable IOT technology supported wristband which will be enabled with movement sensors, GPS, accelerometer, heart rate related sensor, thermometer sensor for real time data collection. These sensors continuously collect data and can send to the nearby designed system as per the communication network. This data can give much-hidden insight about an employee. The paper suggests a model for the Human Resource Management system through wearable IoT device to provide unbiased and transparent results.
Identification and expression of two new secretory proteins associated with prostate cancer (2010)

摘要：
Langerhans Cells in Murine Vaginal Epithelium Affected by Oestrogen and Topical Vitamin A (1986)

Langerhans cells vary in their morphology and distribution in the vaginal epithelium of ovariectomized mice stimulated to hyperplasia and keratinization by oestrogen. When the stratum corneum was removed by topical vitamin A application, the shape and distribution of Langerhans cells were unaffected. It was concluded that Langerhans cell morphology and distribution depend on the configuration of the lower strata of the epithelium and not on the presence of a stratum corneum.
Nearest manifold approach for face recognition (2004)

Faces under varying illumination, pose and non-rigid deformation are empirically thought of as a highly nonlinear manifold in the observation space. How to discover intrinsic low-dimensional manifold is important to characterize meaningful face distributions and classify them using a simpler, such as linear or Gaussian based, classifier. In this paper, we present a manifold learning algorithm (MLA) for learning a mapping from highly-dimensional manifold into the intrinsic low-dimensional linear manifold. We also propose the nearest manifold (NM) criterion for the classification and present an algorithm for computing the distance from the sample to be classified to the nearest face manifolds in light of local linearity of manifold. Based on these works, face recognition is achieved with the combination of MLA and NM. Experiments on several face databases show that the advantages of our proposed combinational approach.
Needle: Leveraging Program Analysis to Analyze and Extract Accelerators from Whole Programs (2017)

Technology constraints have increasingly led to the adoption of specialized coprocessors, i.e. hardware accelerators. The first challenge that computer architects encounter is identifying “what to specialize in the program”. We demonstrate that this requires precise enumeration of program paths based on dynamic program behavior. We hypothesize that path-based [4] accelerator offloading leads to good coverage of dynamic instructions and improve energy efficiency. Unfortunately, hot paths across programs demonstrate diverse control flow behavior. Accelerators (typically based on dataflow execution), often lack an energy-efficient, complexity effective, and high performance (eg. branch prediction) support for control flow. We have developed NEEDLE, an LLVM based compiler framework that leverages dynamic profile information to identify, merge, and offload acceleratable paths from whole applications. NEEDLE derives insight into what code coverage (and consequently energy reduction) an accelerator can achieve. We also develop a novel program abstraction for offload calledBraid, that merges common code regions across different paths to improve coverage of the accelerator while trading off the increase in dataflow size. This enables coarse grained offloading, reducing interaction with the host CPU core. To prepare the Braids and paths for acceleration, NEEDLE generates software frames. Software frames enable energy efficient speculative execution on accelerators. They are accelerator microarchitecture independent support speculative execution including memory operations. NEEDLE is automated and has been used to analyze 225K paths across 29 workloads. It filtered and ranked 154K paths for acceleration across unmodified SPEC, PARSEC and PERFECT workload suites. We target NEEDLE's offload regions toward a CGRA and demonstrate 34% performance and 20% energy improvement.
Democracy and democratisation (2022)

Amidst numerous high-profile citizens' assemblies on climate change, the role of democracy in (critical) environmental politics is receiving renewed attention. In this chapter, I argue democratisation rightly has a long pedigree in environmental politics, for the liberal state is structurally inhibited from overcoming human domination over non-human nature and prioritising sustainability over the capitalist growth imperative. Critical challenge of the fundamental causes of environmental unsustainability must therefore emanate from interventions outside of its institutional processes: the citizen voice beyond already established and incorporated 'stakeholders'. The literature on democratic environmental politics has evolved from supplementing liberal democracy with innovations in participatory, stakeholder and network forms of governance to calling for altogether different models of democracy such as deliberative and agonist forms. While these developments have brought forth important critical engagement with environmental politics in the liberal status quo, all of them also remain themselves constrained by this overarching institutional context.
High dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue (ASCR) for recurrent medulloblastoma (2006)

11507 Background: Medulloblastoma is a highly lethal disease when it recurs and very few patients survive with conventional treatment. This study evaluated the use of high-dose carboplatin, thiotepa, and etoposide with autologous stem-cell rescue (ASCR) in patients with recurrent medulloblastoma. Methods: Between 8/97 and 8/05 14 patients (M/F 12/2) with recurrent medulloblastoma, aged 2 to 33 years (median, 10.5 years) at ASCR, were treated. Thirteen had relapsed after chemotherapy and craniospinal + posterior fossa irradiation and one after chemotherapy (Baby POG) at a median time of 19 months (7 to 148). One had a local relapse and 13 had dissemination at relapse (M1: 1, M2: 7 and M3: 5) Chemotherapy consisted of carboplatin 500 mg/m 2 (or area under the curve = 7 mg/ml × min via Calvert formula) on days −8, −7, −6; and thiotepa 300 mg/m 2 and etoposide 250 mg/m 2 on days −5, −4, and −3 respectively; followed by ASCR on day 0. Results: Four patients died of treatment-related toxicities at 0, +23, +42 and +51 days post ASCR (bacterial sepsis in 2, CMV infection in 1 and CNS hemorrhage in 1). It should be remarked that all the toxic deaths were observed in patients auto grafted before October 2000. Five of 14 patients (35%) are event-free survivors at a median of 70 months post-ASCR (range: 5 to 86 months). Tumor recurred in the remaining 5 patients at a median time of 2 months post ASCR (2 to 15). All died at +23, +16, +12, +9 and +4 month post ASCR. Conclusions: Our results seem consistent with those published by Dunkel IJ (J. Clin Oncol; 16:222 - 8 1998) and argue about the efficacy of high dose chemotherapy with ASCR to provide long-term survival for some patients with recurrent medulloblastoma. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
Online Junction Temperature Estimation of SiC Power <sc>mosfets</sc> Through On-State Voltage Mapping (2018)

This paper deals with real-time estimation of the junction temperature of SiC power mosfets. The junction temperature of a device with four-switch module is estimated in real-time by measuring its current and on-state voltage V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ON</sub> at each switching period and entering the temperature in the lookup table of the device. The temperature model is preliminarily obtained in a dedicated commissioning session, where V <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">ON</sub> is measured at different temperature and current conditions. The results show the feasibility of online temperature monitoring and even the active limitation of the junction temperature of the tested SiC power mosfet modules accurately and with an instantaneous dynamic response. Different modules with die from different manufacturers were tested in an H-bridge demonstrator power converter, emulating the operating conditions of real converters such as voltage source dc/ac or dc/dc conversion structures. The commissioning procedure is meant to be performed directly on the final application for each converter. The measurements obtained using the proposed temperature estimation technique are validated using a thermal camera and compared to the direct measurement of the die temperature with a thermistor, showing high accuracy and high feasibility.
New Contact Metallization Scheme for FinFET and Beyond (2018)

A new metallization scheme of Co/CoTi <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</inf> alloy is proposed to replace conventional W contact plug and TiN/Ti barrier so as to alleviate increasing parasitic resistance of MOL with device scaling in sub-10 nm node. Annealing of the CoTi <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</inf> alloy layer led to the formation of epitaxial Co silicide and TiO <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">x</inf> at the Co/Si interface. With this interface structure, a low contact resistivity of 10^{-9}\ Ω\ cm}^{2} was obtained on highly doped n-Si.
‘I shall miss the company’: participants’ reflections on time-limited day centre programming (2020)

Abstract The social needs of frail or isolated older people are sometimes aided by referrals to day centres in the United Kingdom. Since the late 1940s, day centres have had a role to play promoting socialisation in later life. Additionally, attendance at day centres is often open ended, with participants only leaving due to moving to a nursing home or dying. In this study, the views of those attending time-limited day centre programmes in seven day centres in Northern Ireland have been sought in relation to their thoughts about the service as well as how they feel when it ends. Seventeen participants completed diaries for the programme duration and/or engaged in an interview process. Participants reflected on the social and educational benefits of attending but also recognised impositions in the centres that impinged upon individual choices and also the length of time they could remain. This study reveals that, in order to maintain socialisation, time-limited programmes must have clear follow-on strategies for participants. Additionally, respondents’ experiences reflect that a paternalistic model of care delivery remains in place that, whilst restrictive, reveals that access to the service is more specialised and not universal. Nevertheless, should day centres wish to remain relevant, it is important that service users are fully consulted about their desires and choices within the setting.
Interactive information retrieval from XML documents represented by attribute grammars (2003)

In this paper, we describe a system to interactively accede to XML documents represented by attribute grammars. The system has two main components: (1) the query editor/processor, where the user interactively specifies his needs; (2) the document analyzer, which performs operations for query evaluation that accede directly to the documents. The interactive construction of queries is based on the manipulation of intermediate results during query construction and evaluation. We believe this helps the user to achieve the desired result.
Inhibitory protein controls the reversion of protoplasts and L forms of Bacillus subtilis to the walled state (1977)

When the cell wall of Bacillus subtilis is removed by lysozyme and the resultant protoplasts are plated on hypertonic soft agar medium, each protoplast forms an L colony. L bodies from such L colonies again plate as L-colony-forming units (CFU). However, if protoplasts or L bodies are "conditioned" by 1 h of incubation in 0.4% casein hydrolysate medium and then incubated in 25% gelatin medium for 1 h, 60 to 100% of the formerly naked cells give rist to bacillary colonies. The present experiments largely explain the mechanism responsible for the "heritable" persistence of the wall-less state in B. subtilis. It is shown that protoplasts produce a reversion inhibitory factor (RIF) which blocks reversion when the cell concentration exceeds 5 x 105 CFU/ml. This inhibitor is nondialyzable and sensitive to trypsin, heat, and detergent. Efficient reversion at 2 x 107 CFU/ml is obtained if the protoplasts are treated with trypsin after conditioning and chloramphenicol is incorporated into the gelatin reversion medium. In the presence of 500 mug of trypsin per ml, the requirement for gelatin is sharply reduced, and reversion occurs rapidly in liquid medium containing only 10% gelatin. Trypsin also stimulates reversion in L colonies growing on soft agar. Latent RIF is activated by beta-mercaptoethanol. This reagent blocks reversion of protoplast suspensions at densities of 5 x 105 CFU/ml. Comparison of the autolytic behavior of B. subtilis and of the RIF revealed that several or the properties of the two activities coincide: both are inhibited by high concentrations of gelatin, both are activated by beta-mercaptoethanol, and both have high affinity for cell wall. Going on the assumption that RIF is autolysin, models for protoplast reversion is suggested by the finding that mutants with altered teichoic acid show altered reversion behavior.
Building systems that flexibly control downloaded executable content (1996)

Downloading executable content, which enables principals to run programs from remote sites, is a key technology in a number of emerging applications, including collaborative systems, electronic commerce, and web information services. However, the use of downloaded executable content also presents serious security problems because it enables remote principals to execute programs on behalf of the downloading principal. Unless downloaded executable contentis properly controlled, a malicious remote principal may obtain unauthorized access to the downloading principal &apos;s resources. Current solutions either attempt to strictly limit the capabilities of downloaded content or require complete trust in the remote principal, so applications which require intermediate amounts of sharing, such as collaborative applications, cannot be constructed over insecure networks. In this paper, we describe an architecture that #exibly controls the access rights of downloaded contentby: #1# authenticating co...
High-quality depth map up-sampling robust to edge noise of range sensors (2012)

A new method to up-sample low-resolution depth maps to high quality and high resolution is proposed. Range sensors such as time-of-flight cameras yield low-resolution depth maps and the output includes heavy noise at the edges of objects. Recently, many techniques have been proposed to up-sample low-resolution depth maps. However, there is no effective countermeasure to the edge noise problem. The proposed up-sampling method is based on Markov random fields and addresses this edge noise using newly designed confidence weights. The performance of our method is evaluated using error rate and mean absolute error through comparison with existing methods, and results show that the proposed method outperforms conventional methods.
Suppression of Murine Leukaemia Virus Production by Ouabain and Interferon in Mouse Cells (1978)

Ouabain markedly inhibited the growth of the mouse cell lines K3b and JLS-V9 and the production of murine leukaemia virus (MuLV) in them. The inhibition of MuLV production was abolished by exposing the cells to normal medium or by adding a high concentration (43 mM) of K+ ions to the ouabain-containing medium. MuLV production was reduced by ouabain more rapidly than host cell directed protein synthesis. After treatment of cells with ouabain (0.5 mM) for 7 h, extracellular reverse transcriptase reverse transcriptase activities were reduced by 87 to 92%. However, the intracellular level of polymerase activities remained almost unchanged (77 to 98% relative to the control). Mouse interferon inhibited the production of MuLV in K3b cells and this antiviral action was not blocked by 0.5 mM-ouabain.
Visible light communications in heterogeneous networks: Paving the way for user-centric design (2015)

At the time of this writing, there is substantial research interest in the subject of visible light communications (VLC) owing to its ability to offer significant traffic offloading potential in highly crowded radio frequency (RF) scenarios. We introduce the user-centric design of VLC for heterogeneous networks (HetNet), where three key aspects are identified and elaborated on: signal coverage quality, system control, and service provision aspects. More explicitly, the concepts of amorphous cell formation as well as separated up-link (UL) and down-link (DL), decoupled data and control, dynamic load balancing (LB), etc., all demand radically new thinking. The advocated user-centric VLC design is of key significance in the small-cell scenarios of the emerging 5G design philosophy.
Nucleobase Containing Synthetic Polymers: Advancing Biomimicry via Controlled Synthesis and Self-Assembly (2012)

The hydrogen-bonding recognition interactions of nucleobases are a fundamental property of nucleic acid chemistry and associated transcription, translation, and replication functions. Nucleobase interactions are central in protein biosynthesis, yielding sequence- and stereospecific macromolecules capable of assembly into precisely defined, complex shapes and morphologies that make up the machinery of life. As the understanding of nucleobases and their significance developed in the past century, chemists have inevitably sought to extend their function from a biological setting onto wholly synthetic platforms. Recent advances point to a burgeoning area of study which may soon bear fruit in some of the holy grails of polymer synthesis, namely sequence (and stereo) control, single chain manipulation, and controlled polymer folding. This Perspective seeks to summarize recent developments in the area of nucleobase containing polymers (including nucleobase mimics), with particular emphasis on controlled polymerization, self-assembly, and templating polymerization.
Frequency of pterygium in indigenous Kadiweu (2009)

Abstract Purpose Study carried out in Amazonas, north of Brazil, reported that river indigenous people have much higher rates of pterygium than indigenous living in forest. Exposure to the sun was the major risk factor for pterygium . The objective of this study was to verify the frequency of pterygium in indigenous with different ethnic and cultural background, and living in another region of the country, with different geographic characteristics (Kadiwéu indigenous). Methods Ocular examination was performed in 10% of the total population of Kadiwéu indigenous (90 subjects), living in two small villages, in “Serra Boquena” region, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in center‐west Brazil. Results The frequency of pterigyum in all participants was 15%. Considering only individuals over 20 years the rate was 20%. Conclusion The frequency of pterygium in indigenous Kadiwéu is lower than the rate in river indigenous and higher than in forest people.
