Deep Transfer Learning for Intelligent Cellular Traffic Prediction Based on Cross-Domain Big Data (2019)

Machine (deep) learning-enabled accurate traffic modeling and prediction is an indispensable part for future big data-driven intelligent cellular networks, since it can help autonomic network control and management as well as service provisioning. Along this line, this paper proposes a novel deep learning architecture, namely Spatial–Temporal Cross-domain neural Network (STCNet), to effectively capture the complex patterns hidden in cellular data. By adopting a convolutional long short-term memory network as its subcomponent, STCNet has a strong ability in modeling spatial–temporal dependencies. Besides, three kinds of cross-domain datasets are actively collected and modeled by STCNet to capture the external factors that affect traffic generation. As diversity and similarity coexist among cellular traffic from different city functional zones, a clustering algorithm is put forward to segment city areas into different groups, and consequently, a successive inter-cluster transfer learning strategy is designed to enhance knowledge reuse. In addition, the knowledge transferring among different kinds of cellular traffic is also explored with the proposed STCNet model. The effectiveness of STCNet is validated through real-world cellular traffic datasets using three kinds of evaluation metrics. The experimental results demonstrate that STCNet outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms. In particular, the transfer learning based on STCNet brings about 4%~13% extra performance improvements.
Genetic redirection of T cells for cancer therapy (2010)

Adoptive immunotherapy can induce dramatic tumor regressions in patients with melanoma or viral-induced malignancies, but extending this approach to many common cancers has been hampered by a lack of naturally occurring tumor-specific T cells. In this review, we describe recent advances in the genetic modification of T cells using genes encoding cell-surface receptors specific for tumor-associated antigen. Using genetic modification, the many functional properties of T cells, including cytokine secretion and cytolytic capacity, are redirected from their endogenous specificity toward the elimination of tumor cells. Advances in gene design, vectors, and cell production are discussed, and details of the progress in clinical application of this approach are provided.
Improving the Noah Land Surface Model in Arid Regions with an Appropriate Parameterization of the Thermal Roughness Length (2010)

Abstract Daytime land surface temperatures in arid and semiarid regions are typically not well simulated in current land surface models (LSMs). This study first evaluates the importance of parameterizing the thermal roughness length (z0h) to model the surface temperature (Tsfc) and turbulent sensible heat flux (H) in arid regions. Six schemes for z0h are implemented into the Noah LSM, revealing the high sensitivity of the simulations to its parameterization. Comparisons are then performed between the original Noah LSM and a revised version with a novel z0h scheme against observations at four arid or semiarid sites, including one in Arizona and three in western China. The land they cover is sparse grass or bare soil. The results indicate that the original Noah LSM significantly underestimates Tsfc and overestimates H in the daytime, whereas the revised model can simulate well both Tsfc and H simultaneously. The improved version benefits from the successful modeling of the diurnal variation of z0h, which the original model cannot produce.
An oxide-diluted magnetic semiconductor: Mn-doped ZnO (1999)

Epitaxial thin films of an oxide-diluted magnetic semiconductor, Mn-doped ZnO, were fabricated by pulsed-laser deposition technique. Solubility of Mn into ZnO exceeds thermal equilibrium limit as a result of nonequilibrium film growth process. As Mn content is increased, the lattice constants of both a and c axes of wurtzite Zn1−xMnxO films (x&lt;0.35) increase and the band gap expands although considerable in-gap absorption develops. Itinerant electrons over 1019 cm−3 can be doped into the Zn1−xMnxO films by Al doping, in contrast to low carrier density in the other II–VI diluted magnetic semiconductors. The temperature dependence of the resistivity is almost metallic and considerable magnetoresistance is observed at low temperatures.
Development of PCR Primer Systems for Amplification of Nitrite Reductase Genes (<i>nirK</i>and<i>nirS</i>) To Detect Denitrifying Bacteria in Environmental Samples (1998)

A system was developed for the detection of denitrifying bacteria by the amplification of specific nitrite reductase gene fragments with PCR. Primer sequences were found for the amplification of fragments from both nitrite reductase genes (nirK and nirS) after comparative sequence analysis. Whenever amplification was tried with these primers, the known nir type of denitrifying laboratory cultures could be confirmed. Likewise, the method allowed a determination of the nir type of five laboratory strains. The nirK gene could be amplified from Blastobacter denitrificans, Alcaligenes xylosoxidans, and Alcaligenes sp. (DSM 30128); the nirS gene was amplified from Alcaligenes eutrophus DSM 530 and from the denitrifying isolate IFAM 3698. For each of the two genes, at least one primer combination amplified successfully for all of the test strains. Specific amplification products were not obtained with nondenitrifying bacteria or with strains of the other nir type. The specificity of the amplified products was confirmed by subsequent sequencing. These results suggest the suitability of the method for the qualitative detection of denitrifying bacteria in environmental samples. This was shown by applying one generally amplifying primer combination for each nir gene developed in this study to total DNA preparations from aquatic habitats.

Scanning Micro-Mirror with an Electrostatic Spring for Compensation of Hard-Spring Nonlinearity (2017)

A scanning micro-mirror operated at the mechanical resonant frequency often suffer nonlinearity of the torsion-bar spring. The torsion-bar spring becomes harder than the linear spring with the increase of the rotation angle (hard-spring effect). The hard-spring effect of the torsion-bar spring generates several problems, such as hysteresis, frequency shift, and instability by oscillation jump. In this paper, a scanning micro-mirror with an electrostatic-comb spring is studied for compensation of the hard-spring effect of the torsion-bar spring. The hard-spring effect of the torsion-bar spring is compensated with the equivalent soft-spring effect of the electrostatic-comb spring. The oscillation curve becomes symmetric at the resonant frequency although the resonant frequency increases. Theoretical analysis is given for roughly explaining the compensation. A 0.5 mm square scanning micro-mirror having two kinds of combs, i.e., an actuator comb and a compensation comb, is fabricated from a silicon-on-insulator wafer for testing the compensation of the hard-spring in a vacuum and in atmospheric air. The bending of the oscillation curve is compensated by applying a DC voltage to the electrostatic-comb spring in vacuum and atmosphere. The compensation is attributed by theoretical approach to the soft-spring effect of the electrostatic-comb spring.
Cu-Catalyzed Fluorination of Diaryliodonium Salts with KF (2013)

A mild Cu-catalyzed nucleophilic fluorination of unsymmetrical diaryliodonium salts with KF is described. This protocol preferentially fluorinates the smaller aromatic ligand on iodine(III). The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope and proceeds with high chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance. DFT calculations implicate a Cu(I)/Cu(III) catalytic cycle.
Inte raction between Liquid Crystals and Treated Solid Surfaces; Single Crystalization (1983)

It is well known that liquid cystals are used for the display devices in watches, calculators, and TV receivers. To improve such devices, we understand more exactly the mechanism of liquid crystal alignment, the synthesis new liquid crystals, the substrate treatment method, and the electrical driving method. We only present here phenomenologically the alignment, the treatment method, and the liquid crystals now in use.
Increased Breaker Concentration in Fracturing Fluids Results in Improved Gas Well Performance (1991)

ABSTRACT Conductivity damage resulting from fracturing fluids has been frequently observed in laboratory tests and is often indicated by production results. Abnormally high breaker concentrations were used in a number of fracturing treatments of gas reservoirs in attempts to minimize proppant conductivity damage and improve well performance. Concentrations of breaker of up to 10 lb/1,000 gal (three to five times the normal concentration) were added to fluids without causing premature loss of viscosity. These concentrations were made possible by encapsulating the breaker with a water-barrier coating and properly scheduling the breaker addition. The breaker addition schedule was optimized to account for the increasing polymer concentrations due to fluid loss as well as the fluid exposure time at the maximum temperature. Improved well performance has been seen when using higher than normal breaker concentrations. The improved performance includes higher production rates. It can be shown that all of these results can be attributed to higher fracture conductivity because of the reduction of proppant conductivity damage.
Ligand-Promoted Dehydrogenation of Alcohols Catalyzed by Cp*Ir Complexes. A New Catalytic System for Oxidant-Free Oxidation of Alcohols (2006)

[reaction: see text] An efficient catalytic system for oxidant-free oxidation of alcohols has been developed. A new Cp*Ir catalyst bearing a 2-hydroxypyridine ligand has been designed on the concept of "ligand-promoted dehydrogenation". Various secondary alcohols can be dehydrogenatively oxidized to ketones under neutral conditions with high turnover numbers by using the new Cp*Ir catalyst.
On High-Speed Digital-to-Analog Converters and Semi-Digital FIR Filters (2015)

High-speed and high-resolution digital-to-analog converters (DACs) are vital components in all telecommunication systems. Radio-frequency digital-to-analog converter (RFDAC) provides high-speed and high-resolution conversion from digital domain to an analog signal. RFDACs can be employed in direct-conversion radio transmitter architectures. The idea of RFDAC is to utilize an oscillatorypulse-amplitude modulation instead of the conventional zero-order hold pulse amplitude modulation, which results in DAC output spectrum to have highenergy high-frequency lobe, other than the Nyquist main lobe. The frequency of the oscillatory pulse can be chosen, with respect to the sample frequency, such that the aliasing images of the signal at integer multiples of the sample frequency are landed in the high-energy high-frequency lobes of the DAC frequency response. Therefore the high-frequency images of the signal can be used as the output of the DAC, i.e., no need to the mixing stage for frequency upconversion after the DAC in the radio transmitter. The mixing stage however is not eliminated but it is rather moved into the DAC elements and therefore the local oscillator (LO) signal with high frequency should be delivered to each individual DAC element.
Ultraviolet-C decontamination of a hospital room: Amount of UV light needed (2019)

The amount of UVC radiation that is received in surfaces depends on their locations in the room (ie distance from the UVC emitter) and whether any objects shadow the light. In this study we suggest that quality controls should be used to assure that enough UVC radiation reaches all surfaces.
Gesture-Based, Touch-Free Multi-User Gaming on Wall-Sized, High-Resolution Tiled Displays (2024)

Having to carry input devices can be inconvenient when interacting with wall-sized, high-resolution tiled displays. Such displays are typically driven by a cluster of computers. Running existing games on a cluster is non-trivial, and the performance attained using software solutions like Chromium is not good enough. This paper presents a touch-free, multi-user, humancomputer interface for wall-sized displays that enables completely device-free interaction. The interface is built using 16 cameras and a cluster of computers, and is integrated with the games Quake 3 Arena (Q3A) and Homeworld. The two games were parallelized using two different approaches in order to run on a 7x4 tile, 21 megapixel display wall with good performance. The touch-free interface enables interaction with a latency of 116 ms, where 81 ms are due to the camera hardware. The rendering performance of the games is compared to their sequential counterparts running on the display wall using Chromium. Parallel Q3A’s framerate is an order of magnitude higher compared to using Chromium. The parallel version of Homeworld performed on par with the sequential, which did not run at all using Chromium. Informal use of the touch-free interface indicates that it works better for controlling Q3A than Homeworld.
Anti-Idiotypic Antibodies in Patients with Different Clinical Forms of Paracoccidioidomycosis (2000)

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America. Patients with PCM show a wide spectrum of clinical and pathological manifestations depending on both host and pathogen factors. Two clinical forms of the disease are recognized: the acute or juvenile form and the chronic or adult form. The major antigenic component of the parasite is a glycoprotein of 43 kDa (gp43). All patient sera present antibodies against gp43 (anti-gp43) and, as demonstrated before by our group, spontaneous anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies (Ab2) can be detected in patient sera with high titers of anti-gp43. Since it has been postulated that anti-Id antibodies may have a modulating function, we decided to purify and characterize anti-Id antibodies in this system. The possible correlation of Ab2 titers with different clinical forms of disease was also verified. Results showed that purified human anti-Id antibodies (human Ab2) recognized specifically the idiotype of some murine monoclonal anti-gp43 (17c and 3e) but not others (40.d7, 27a, and 8a). Spontaneous anti-Id antibodies were found in all clinical forms of disease. The majority of patients (88%, n = 8) with the acute form of PCM had high titers of Ab2. However, among patients with the multifocal chronic form of the disease, only 29% (n = 14) had high titers of Ab2; 70% (n = 10) of patients with the unifocal chronic form had low titers of Ab2. A correlation between Ab2 titers and anti-gp43 titers was observed before and during antimycotic treatment. Our results suggest that titers of anti-Id antibodies correlate with the severity of PCM in humans.

Design of a PWM multiple switch control and high efficiency current mode DC to DC boost converter for portable devices (2014)

For portable electronic products, high efficiency and on-chip integration is preferred. The relatively small size and fewer component used helps reduce power consumption, thus switching frequency is also improved. In order to ensure that the voltage converter can be operated at high frequency, a switching current pulse width modulation is proposed in this paper, with the aim of reducing conduction loss. The circuit can then be adjusted based on the load amount to determine the number of power MOS used. Minimum efficiency at lighter loads can reach up to 80.29% while maximum efficiency is at 87.3%. The output ripple voltage is about 0.464 mV with 4.7 μF off-chip capacitor and 1 μH off-chip inductor. This project was designed and simulated using TSMC's 0.35micron 2P4M 5V technology with a chip area of 2.88mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> .

GPR92 as a New G12/13- and Gq-coupled Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor That Increases cAMP, LPA5 (2006)

The signaling effects of lysophospholipids such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are mediated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). There are currently four LPA receptors known as LPA(1-4). Genetic deletion studies have identified essential biological functions for LPA receptors in mice. However, these studies have also revealed phenotypes consistent with the existence of as yet unidentified receptors. Toward identifying new LPA receptors, we have screened collections of GPCR cDNAs using reverse transfection and cell-based assays. Here we report an interim result of one screen to identify receptors that produced LPA-dependent changes in cell shape: the orphan receptor GPR92 has properties of a new LPA receptor. Sequence analyses of human GPR92 and its mouse homolog have approximately 35% amino acid identity with LPA4/GPR23. The same cell-based approaches that were used to identify and/or characterize LPA(1-4), particularly heterologous expression in B103 cells or RH7777 cells, were utilized and compared with known LPA receptors. Retroviral-mediated expression of epitope-tagged receptors was further combined with G protein minigenes and pharmacological intervention, along with calcium imaging and whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology. LPA-dependent receptor internalization following exposure to LPA but not related lysophospholipids was observed. Furthermore, LPA induced concentration-dependent activation of G(12/13) and G(q) and increased cAMP levels. Specific [3H]LPA binding was detected in cell membranes heterologously expressing GPR92 but not control membranes. Northern blot and reverse transcriptase-PCR studies indicated a broad low level of expression in many tissues including embryonic brain and enrichment in small intestine and sensory dorsal root ganglia, as well as embryonic stem cells. These results support GPR92 as a fifth LPA receptor, LPA5, which likely has distinct physiological functions in view of its expression pattern.
Enhanced production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), oncostatin M and soluble IL-6 receptor by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with systemic sclerosis (1999)

The enhanced production of IL-6, OSM and sIL-6R from PBMC may cooperatively contribute to the disease process in SSc. In particular, enhanced sIL-6R production from PBMC may be related to the development of pulmonary fibrosis via enhancement of IL-6 signal transduction in SSc, since sIL-6R can act as an agonist of IL-6.

A novel method to measure the semantic similarity of HPO terms (2017)

It is critical yet remains to be challenging to make precise disease diagnosis from complex clinical features and highly heterogeneous genetic background. Recently, phenotype similarity has been effectively applied to model patient phenotype data. However, the existing measurements are revised based on the Gene Ontology-based term similarity models, which are not optimised for human phenotype ontologies. We propose a new similarity measure called PhenoSim. Our model includes a noise reduction component to model the noisy patient phenotype data, and a path-constrained Information Content-based method for phenotype semantics similarity measurement. Evaluation tests compared PhenoSim with four existing approaches. It showed that PhenoSim, could effectively improve the performance of HPO-based phenotype similarity measurement, thus increasing the accuracy of phenotype-based causative gene prediction and disease prediction.
