Awareness 2.0 (2010)

Software development teams need to maintain awareness of various different aspects ranging from overall project status and process bottlenecks to current tasks and incoming artifacts. Currently, there is a lack of theoretical foundations to guide tool selection and tool design to best support awareness tasks. In this paper, we explore how the combination of highly configurable project, team and contributor dashboards along with individual event feeds is used to accomplish extensive awareness. Our results stem from an empirical study of several large development teams, with a detailed study of a team of 150 developers and additional data from another four project teams. We present how dashboards become pivotal to task prioritization in critical project phases and how they stir competition while feeds are used for short term planning. Our findings indicate that the distinction between high-level and low-level awareness is often unclear and that integrated tooling could improve development practices.
Photonic Processing for Wideband Cancellation and Spectral Discrimination of RF Signals (2013)

Photonic signal processing is used to implement common mode signal cancellation across a very wide bandwidth utilising phase modulation of radio frequency (RF) signals onto a narrow linewidth laser carrier. RF spectra were observed using narrow-band, tunable optical filtering using a scanning Fabry Perot etalon. Thus functions conventionally performed using digital signal processing techniques in the electronic domain have been replaced by analog techniques in the photonic domain. This technique was able to observe simultaneous cancellation of signals across a bandwidth of 1400 MHz, limited only by the free spectral range of the etalon.
The software container pattern (2015)

A Software Container provides an execution environment for applications sharing a host operating system, binaries, and libraries with other containers with strong isolation between them. Software containers although not new, have become very important to support convenient, secure, and low overhead applications. Containers facilitate application deployment and distribution across computing environments. We present a pattern for a Software Containers which describes advantages and liabilities of the container in addition to examples of existing solutions. Containers have made a significant difference in supporting agile development frameworks like DevOps.
Molecular Modeling in the Design of Peptidomimetics and Peptide Surrogates (2002)

The most important natural sources of new leads are plant extracts, bacterial broths, animal venoms and peptides isolated from living organisms. However, only the three first have been used extensively in the development of new therapeutic agents. This is probably due to the low pharmacological profile exhibited by peptides, that requires a lengthy transformation to make them suitable as new leads. In contrast, bioactive compounds isolated from the other sources are regularly closer to be used as lead compounds. Nevertheless, the sources for compounds of this category are nowadays scarce. In contrast, there are new bioactive peptides discovered quite often and reported as ligands for different receptors. Under these circumstances peptides appear as an attractive source of prospective new leads. In order to reduce the time involved in the design of a potential lead from a peptide, molecular modeling tools have been developed in the last few years. The purpose of the present work is to review the different techniques available and to report various successful examples of design of new peptidomimetics published in the literature.
Polysilicon planarization and plug recess etching in a decoupled plasma source chamber using two endpoint techniques (1999)

The planarization and recessing of polysilicon to form a plug are processes of increasing importance in silicon IC fabrication. While this technology has been developed and applied to DRAM technology using Trench Storage Capacitors, the need for such processes in other IC applications (i.e. polysilicon studs) has increased. Both planarization and recess processes usually have stringent requirements on etch rate, recess uniformity, and selectivity to underlying films. Additionally, both processes generally must be isotropic, yet must not expand any seams that might be present in the polysilicon fill. These processes should also be insensitive to changes in exposed silicon area (pattern factor) on the wafer. A SF<SUB>6</SUB> plasma process in a polysilicon DPS (Decoupled Plasma Source) reactor has demonstrated the capability of achieving the above process requirements for both planarization and recess etch. The SF<SUB>6</SUB> process in the decoupled plasma source reactor exhibited less sensitivity to pattern factor than in other types of reactors. Control of these planarization and recess processes requires two endpoint systems to work sequentially in the same recipe: one for monitoring the endpoint when blanket polysilicon (100% Si loading) is being planarized and one for monitoring the recess depth while the plug is being recessed (less than 10% Si loading). The planarization process employs an optical emission endpoint system (OES). An interferometric endpoint system (IEP), capable of monitoring lateral interference, is used for determining the recess depth. The ability of using either or both systems is required to make these plug processes manufacturable. Measuring the recess depth resulting from the recess process can be difficult, costly and time- consuming. An Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) can greatly alleviate these problems and can serve as a critical tool in the development of recess processes.

Arbeitsplatzverlust der Mutter kann die Entwicklung ihrer Kinder beeinträchtigen (2013)

Der Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes ist für Arbeitnehmer meist mit erheblichen negativen Folgen verbunden - dies gilt umso mehr, wenn von den Auswirkungen Familien betroffen sind. Dabei ist nicht nur die finanzielle Situation von Bedeutung: Auch die Entwicklung der Kinder kann beeinflusst werden, wenn die Mutter ihren Job verliert. Eine Untersuchung des DIW Berlin auf Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigt, dass dies hinsichtlich nicht-kognitiver Fähigkeiten wie dem Sozialverhalten tatsächlich der Fall ist: Vorschulkinder, deren Mütter unfreiwillig ihren Arbeitsplatz verloren haben, sind sozio-emotional auffälliger als Kinder, deren Müttern dies nicht widerfahren ist. Ähnliches trifft auf Jugendliche zu: Wird die Mutter arbeitslos, glauben Jugendliche weniger daran, dass sie ihr Leben selbst bestimmen können.

Anti-platelet Effects of GPIIb/IIIa and P-Selectin Antagonism, Platelet Activation, and Binding to Neutrophils (2002)

Platelet activation with GPIIb/IIIa binding to fibrinogen, aggregation and interaction with leukocytes constitute the principal mediator of thrombosis. Although the clinical benefits of GPIIb/IIIa antagonists have been documented, the relationship between their anti-platelet properties, platelet activation and binding to leukocytes is still debated. We investigated the effects of abciximab, tirofiban, roxifiban, and an anti-P-selectin blocking monoclonal antibody (Mab) on isolated human platelet aggregation using optical aggregometer, and on platelet P-selectin and GPIIb/IIIa expression, and platelet-neutrophil binding using flow cytometry. Thrombin at 0.025 U/ml induced maximal platelet aggregation (76.3 +/- 2.6%), P-selectin expression (88.5 +/- 4%), GPIIb/IIIa activation (PAC-1 binding, 86.2 +/- 8.9%) and platelet-neutrophil binding (58.0 +/- 6.4%). The GPIIb/IIIa antagonists inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner platelet aggregation (IC50 of 100 nM for abciximab and tirofiban and 50 nM for roxifiban) and PAC-1 binding, without any effect on P-selectin. None of these agents affected significantly platelet-neutrophil binding, whereas an anti-P-selectin Mab abolished this binding and amplified the effect of abciximab on platelet aggregation. These results indicate that the effects of these GPIIb/IIIa antagonists on platelet aggregation are not related to inhibition of platelet activation, as P-selectin levels and platelet-neutrophil binding remained unaffected, and highlight the participation of P-selectin with GPIIb/IIIa in platelet aggregation.
Multifunctional transducer using poly (vinylidene fluoride) active layerand highly conducting poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) electrode: Actuator and generator (2004)

Monomorph and bimorph multifunctional transducers such as actuators and generators were fabricated using a piezoelectric poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films as the active layer and a highly conducting poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)∕poly (4-styrenesulfonate) [PEDOT∕PSS (DMSO for solvent)] as the electrode. In order to enhance the adhesion of the films, either the PVDF films or PEDOT∕PSS (DMSO) electrodes were modified using an ion-assisted-reaction (IAR) method. The direct (generator) and inverse piezoelectric (motor) effects as well as the pyroelectric effect in the PVDF-PEDOT∕PSS based devices were observed. The tip displacement of the 12mm by 30mm bimorph device made with the PEDOT∕PSS (DMSO) electrodes was 3.5mm at the resonance frequency with an appled potential of 40Vrms. The sinusoidal output voltage of the bimorph type generator consisting of the PVDF active layers and PEDOT∕PSS (DMSO) electrodes increased with increasing tip displacement induced by a vibrator. A maximum output voltage of 4.1V in the pyroelectric PVDF device was generated with a change in temperature.

Spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of precipitation in the north and south of Qin-ba Mountain area in recent 43 years (2020)

Abstract Using the daily precipitation data at 89 stations during 1975–2017 in the Qin-ba Mountain area, variation characteristics of different-grade precipitation in the north and south of the Qin-ba Mountain area are analyzed by the linear regression, Mann-Kendall test, and correlation analysis, based on the precipitation grade classification standard proposed by Dai Aiguo and the division of the geo-ecological boundary in mountain range presented by Kang Muyi. The results are as follows: (1) Light rain occurs most frequently, and the percentage of light rain in the north is twice that of the southern region. Rainstorms are the most rare. Precipitation above 800 mm mainly occurs south of the study area, and the result is consistent with the boundary between the north and south of the precipitation. (2) The beginning of precipitation mainly occurs in early April. The high precipitation concentration (PCD) in the north is an important reason for the debris flow disaster. The north-south precipitation concentration period (PCP) is about 1 month ahead of the central part. (3) In the past 43 years, the overall precipitation in the Qin-ba Mountain area has shown a decreasing trend, with the frequency of light rain and the percentage of heavy rain decreasing year by year. (4) The frequency of light rain is negatively correlated with other frequencies. In addition, the fewer days of precipitation, the later the precipitation concentration period (PCP) occurs, which means that the disaster occurs later.
High speed solenoid actuator for high-voltage circuit breaker (2011)

In this paper, the solenoid actuator for high-voltage circuit breaker which is composed of a bobbin, a solenoid coil, a stationary core and a plunger was studied. The solenoid is made of a soft magnetic iron bar with a large number of coil windings. When an electric current passes through this, this stationary core becomes the strong magnet used for hydraulic and pneumatic valve of a solenoid operated valve. For the performance evaluation of the solenoid actuator for high-voltage circuit breaker, electromagnetic characteristics and dynamic characteristics were analyzed. And, the parameters such as solid type plunger and laminated plunger which are related to performance improvement were investigated.
Effects of Superheated Steam Processing on the Textural and Physical Properties of Asian Noodles (2008)

Asian noodles were simultaneously cooked and dried in superheated steam at temperatures from 110 to 150°C and steam velocities of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 m/s. Textural and key physical properties of color, breaking stress, and starch gelatinization were measured to ascertain the effects of the superheated steam processing. Textural properties of adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, resilience, and hardness determined from a TPA were found to be generally unaffected by steam velocity. All properties but springiness increased with an increase in processing time. Increasing temperature decreased adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, and resilience but increased hardness and chewiness to a small degree. Processing time greatly affected noodle color, resulting in browning at greater processing times. Results show that velocity was not a significant factor (p > 0.05) on the breaking strength of noodles. Temperature was only significant (p < 0.05) at 110 and 120°C and breaking stress decreased with increasing temperature. There were small decreases in breaking stress with processing time. Combined gelatinization of both amylopectin and amylose was an average of 80.5% for all superheated steam processed samples.

Biodistribution of [35S]‐cysteine and cysteine prodrugs: potential impact on chemoprotection strategies (1999)

Thiazolidine prodrugs of L-cysteine constructed with aldose monosaccharides as the carbonyl donor offer powerful protection against acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepato-toxicity, but require large doses to be effective. Using disaccharides in prodrug synthesis produces a thiazolidine ring form with a cyclic sugar moiety present. This structural motif may allow the delivery of the prodrug to specific carbohydrate receptors, such as the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) of hepatocytes, thus reducing the required dose of prodrug and enhancing the effectiveness of cytoprotection. The bio-distribution of [35S]-labeled prodrugs was investigated in Swiss-Webster mice, both in the presence and absence of APAP, and compared to labeled L-cysteine itself. Accumulation of radioactivity in liver appeared to be stimulated by the presence of APAP in some cases, but organ levels after prodrug administration were much lower than after the administration of L-cysteine itself. These studies identified differences in the biodistribution of L-cysteine prodrugs of different structural types, as well as effects of the hepatotoxin on localization, but the occurrence of targeted delivery to hepatocytes remains speculative.

Monte Carlo simulations of polydisperse ferrofluids: Cluster formation and field-dependent microstructure (2003)

We report on a Monte Carlo investigation of the microstructure of ferrofluids. The simulation parameters were chosen so that they reflect as close as possible the real ferrofluid samples that have been characterized experimentally. The consistency of the resulting equilibrium configurations with small-angle scattering data on the original samples allows us to consider the simulation a good description of the actual microstructure. We observe agglomerates consisting mainly of a small number of particles. The agglomeration probability is higher the larger the particle radius is. But also small particles (radius smaller than 5 nm) take part in the cluster formation. On applying an external magnetic field the agglomerates become elongated due to a rearrangement of the particles and orient themselves parallel to the field lines. We present a statistical evaluation of agglomeration degree, cluster sizes, and cluster composition (sizes of clustered particles) as well as of the field-dependent change of microstructure (orientation and shape anisometry of clusters).
Cannabinor, a Selective Cannabinoid-2 Receptor Agonist, Improves Bladder Emptying in Rats With Partial Urethral Obstruction (2010)

In rats with partial urethral obstruction treated daily for 14 days with cannabinor bladder weight was lower, the ability to empty the bladder was preserved and nonvoiding contraction frequency was low compared to those in controls. Detrusor preparations from cannabinor treated rats showed a higher response to nerve stimulation than those from controls. Selective cannabinoid 2 receptor activation may be a novel principle to enable improved bladder function after partial urethral obstruction.
Virtualisation of a SIM-card using trusted computing (2022)

The goal of this thesis is to examine, how subscriber authentication in mobile cellular networks could be implemented to the next generation of mobile phones and devices. In this context, we consider and evaluate several architectural directions and propose a novel solution of a software replacement for the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) based on the TCG MPWG Reference Architecture. Therefor, we introduce a virtual software SIM (vSIM) with comparable usage and security characteristics like the smartcard-based solutions. Our approach demonstrates the substitutability of a SIM card with an adequate trusted software module supported and protected by a trustworthy operating system. In particular, we propose several methods for authentication and enrollment of a subscriber, the practical design and implementation of this concepts and how to deploy it to a trustworthy operating platform. Furthermore, we propose a method for the remote-take-ownership of a device by the mobile network operator and the migration of subscriber credentials between devices. We will focus the evaluation on a set of benchmarks which are seen as crucial for development and production, as well as for market and user's requirements of mobile devices such as mobile phones. Running a virtual SIM as a trusted and protected software on a mobile device allow significant expansion of services by introducing new usage scenarios and business models, cost reduction and more flexibility, while a high level of security is still available.
Inpainting of Missing Values in the Kinect Sensor's Depth Maps Based on Background Estimates (2013)

Low-cost game controllers such as Microsoft's Kinect sensor provide dense, real-time depth measurements of indoor environments at high framerate. The sensor is based on the principle of active stereo using structured infrared light. For surfaces that distract infrared light, no measurements can be obtained. It is important to replace missing values early on, to avoid a slow subsequent conditional evaluations or the propagation of errors into neighboring regions. To solve this problem we present an inpainting method that adds missing values based on background estimates of the unoccluded scene. It is therefore not necessary to hypothesize missing regions based on similarity to other image regions. The procedure also avoids a blurring between foreground and background. By adapting the method to the specific properties of the Kinect (and comparable) cameras, we were able to keep the complexity of the algorithm low, so high speed can be achieved.

A Cloud PAAS for High Scale, Function, and Velocity Mobile Applications - With Reference Application as the Fully Connected Car (2010)

Cloud Computing is a term applied to large, hosted datacenters, usually geographically distributed, which offer various computational services on a “utility” basis. Clouds are most often serving Developers or Businesses, or Large Enterprises as a new way to host applications. These applications are usually delivered to client PC's or PC-like smart phones. We consider the case where the clients are highly mobile, very interactive, and very functional, such as in a car. The car is in and of itself a rich, three screen client (Phone-like, Television-like, Computer-like) which can host complicated application scenarios, with some logic in the car, and other logic “in the Cloud”. Additionally, the car can represent a collection of next generation sensors eventing up to the cloud. We explored the resultant needed capabilities of such a cloud, and concluded that a very rich Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) Cloud Computing platform, far beyond the capabilities of today's PaaS system, would be required to support such a large collection of mobile devices. We have generated an architecture for this platform from collecting requirements from several Connected Car applications, and are now modeling the results simulating millions of cars on the road per country. The PaaS system emerged with different mechanisms to other PaaS systems in existence.
