Personality Assessment Use by Clinical Neuropsychologists (2010)

The present study is an exploration of the personality assessment practices of clinical neuropsychologists. Professional members of the National Academy of Neuropsychology and the International Neuropsychological Society (N = 404) were surveyed to examine use of several forms of personality, behavior, and emotional function measures. Results suggest that like prior surveys personality assessment is relatively uncommon in neuropsychological practice. Of the tests included, the Beck Scales were most common, followed by behavior ratings and the MMPI-2. Differences in clinician nationality, primary patient age, and reason for referral were examined and different patterns of test use emerged. Generally, it appears that neuropsychologists who assess younger patients are more likely to use personality assessment and that personality assessment is most likely to be included in assessment for learning disabilities, forensic issues, and psychiatric issues. Implications of these findings will be discussed.
Experimental study of tri-gate SOI-FinFET flash memory (2012)

It is well known that 3D channel devices, such as double-gate (DG) and tri-gate (TG) FinFETs, provide excellent short-channel effect (SCE) immunity. Thus, the scaled 3D channel FinFET flash memories with oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) charge trapping layers have actively been developed [1–3]. Very recently, we have also developed floating-gate (FG) type SOI-FinFET flash memories [4–7]. In this paper, we report the experimental results of the FG type SOI-FinFET flash memories including gate structure dependent of V <inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">t</inf> variability and SCE immunity. We also report the FinFET flash memories with split-gate and with an improved inter-poly dielectric (IPD) layer.
On-line event reconstruction using a parallel in-memory database (2002)

PORS is a system designed for on-line event reconstruction in high energy physics (HEP) experiments. It uses the CPREAD reconstruction program. Central to the system is a parallel in-memory database which is used as communication medium between parallel workers. A farming control structure is implemented with PORS in a natural way. The database provides structured storage of data with a short life time. PORS serves as a case study for the construction of a methodology on how to apply parallel in-memory databases to HEP software, providing systematic structuring of HEP data, easier parallelization and consequently a simpler development and maintenance of code. PORS runs on a SPARCcenter 2000 8-node shared memory computer.
Light field display and 3D image reconstruction (2016)

Light field optics and its applications become rather popular in these days. With light field optics or light field thesis, real 3D space can be described in 2D plane as 4D data, which we call as light field data. This process can be divided in two procedures. First, real3D scene is optically reduced with imaging lens. Second, this optically reduced 3D image is encoded into light field data. In later procedure we can say that 3D information is encoded onto a plane as 2D data by lens array plate. This transformation is reversible and acquired light field data can be decoded again into 3D image with the arrayed lens plate. Refocusing (focusing image on your favorite point after taking a picture), light-field camera's most popular function, is some kind of sectioning process from encoded 3D data (light field data) to 2D image. In this paper at first I show our actual light field camera and our 3D display using acquired and computer-simulated light field data, on which real 3D image is reconstructed. In second I explain our data processing method whose arithmetic operation is performed not in Fourier domain but in real domain. Then our 3D display system is characterized by a few features; reconstructed image is of finer resolutions than density of arrayed lenses and it is not necessary to adjust lens array plate to flat display on which light field data is displayed.
A simple functional protein S assay using PROTAC® (1990)

Protein S is the co-factor of the enzymic action of protein C on FV and FVIII. A functional assay for protein S is not readily available for clinical use; however, we have developed a functional protein S assay based on the prolongation of Russell viper venom (RVV) plasma clotting time by protein C activated by PROTAC. Based on this assay, median functional protein S (5-95th percentile) of 46 healthy individuals was 82% (60-120%). Median functional protein S of 15 cord blood samples was 58% (35-71%). Unexpectedly, we found relatively high levels of functional protein S in a group of patients on long-term warfarin therapy whose INR ranged from 1.1 to 3.9. The median functional protein S of these patients was 71% (40-101%). We demonstrated that the protein S was not decarboxylated, as was the case with protein C, in these warfarin plasmas.
Analysis of a Low-Speed Drive System Using Intelligent Materials (2021)

This paper presents a low speed drive system with a simple and reliable construction, which can be used in an area where there is no power supply (isolated areas, forests, agricultural fields, etc.) and which operates on the basis of two heat sources, one from solar radiation and one provided by water. Alternatively, this system can be used to recover energy from wastewater from industry. The operation and role of the parameters that can influence the value of the rotation speed of the drive system are analyzed through a simulation, maintaining a constant speed in the case of the prototype is achieved through the control system because in real situations the temperature of heat sources can vary within certain limits. The models and tests performed highlight the parameters of the analyzed drive system and the limits of the range in which its speed can vary.
Representation Learning of Drug and Disease Terms for Drug Repositioning (2017)

Drug repositioning (DR) refers to identification of novel indications for the approved drugs. The requirement of huge investment of time as well as money and risk of failure in clinical trials have led to surge in interest in drug repositioning. DR exploits two major aspects associated with drugs and diseases: existence of similarity among drugs and among diseases due to their shared involved genes or pathways or common biological effects. Existing methods of identifying drug-disease association majorly rely on the information available in the structured databases only. On the other hand, abundant information available in form of free texts in biomedical research articles are not being fully exploited. Word-embedding or obtaining vector representation of words from a large corpora of free texts using neural network methods have been shown to give significant performance for several natural language processing tasks. In this work we propose a novel way of representation learning to obtain features of drugs and diseases by combining complementary information available in unstructured texts and structured datasets. Next we use matrix completion approach on these feature vectors to learn projection matrix between drug and disease vector spaces. The proposed method has shown competitive performance with state-of-the-art methods. Further, the case studies on Alzheimer's and Hypertension diseases have shown that the predicted associations are matching with the existing knowledge.
Characterization of Aspartame Crystals (1999)

It is known that rodlike crystals of aspartame, in which several needle crystals appear to be bundled together (bundlelike crystals), obtained from nonstirred crystallization have remarkably improved physicochemical properties compared with crystals (needlelike crystals) obtained from conventional stirred crystallization. For example, bundlelike crystals have much better thermal stabilities than the needlelike crystals. The difference of thermal stabilities between these crystals could not be explained only by their different crystal sizes, because it still remained even when these crystals were adjusted to have the same crystal size. Characterization of these crystals was carried out using powder X-ray diffraction. It is found that bundlelike crystals have different crystal texture compared with needlelike crystals. It is indicated that differences of crystal texture between these crystals are caused by crystallizing conditions, that is, stirred or nonstirred. It was concluded that differences of physicochemical properties are a reflection of crystal texture, i.e., crystallinity and preferred orientation.
Clonotype analysis of peripheral blood T cells and autoantigen-reactive T cells from patients with mixed connective tissue disease. (1994)

T cells that recognize autoantigens may play a central role in the autoimmune response. We have previously shown that autoantigen-reactive T cells (CD4+) to U1-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein A were found in the PBMC of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease. To reveal clonotypes of such T cells that spread to the periphery, T cell clonal accumulations and their TCR-beta chain variable gene usages in fresh PBMC from eight patients with mixed connective tissue disease were analyzed by a new method of single strand conformation polymorphism applying to TCR gene detection. The results revealed that the numbers of accumulated T cell clones (mean: 24.3 clones) were greater than the numbers of clones detected in healthy donors (mean: 4.0 clones). Frequently used V beta genes in these accumulated T cell clones were V beta 1, 3, 4, 5.2, 14, and 16. After the stimulation for these samples with the soluble recombinant U1-small nuclear ribonucleoprotein A protein, proliferative T cell responses were observed. We found that T cell clones expressing more restricted TCR V beta genes (1, 3, 5.2, and 14 families) accumulated in vitro. These results suggest that autoantigen-reactive oligoclonal T cell accumulations are present in the peripheral blood from systemic autoimmune disease patients.
Understanding and executing instructions for everyday manipulation tasks from the World Wide Web (2010)

Service robots will have to accomplish more and more complex, open-ended tasks and regularly acquire new skills. In this work, we propose a new approach to the problem of generating plans for such household robots. Instead composing them from atomic actions - the common approach in robot planning - we propose to transform task descriptions on web sites like ehow.com into executable robot plans. We present methods for automatically converting the instructions from natural language into a formal, logic-based representation, for resolving the word senses using the WordNet database and the Cyc ontology, and for exporting the generated plans into the mobile robot's plan language RPL. We discuss the problem of inferring information that is missing in these descriptions and the problem of grounding the abstract task descriptions in the perception and action system, and we propose techniques for solving them. The whole system works autonomously without human interaction. It has successfully been tested with a set of about 150 natural language directives, of which up to 80% could be correctly transformed.
A fuzzy decision making system for building damage map creation using high resolution satellite imagery (2013)

Abstract. Recent studies have shown high resolution satellite imagery to be a powerful data source for post-earthquake damage assessment of buildings. Manual interpretation of these images, while being a reliable method for finding damaged buildings, is a subjective and time-consuming endeavor, rendering it unviable at times of emergency. The present research, proposes a new state-of-the-art method for automatic damage assessment of buildings using high resolution satellite imagery. In this method, at the first step a set of pre-processing algorithms are performed on the images. Then, extracting a candidate building from both pre- and post-event images, the intact roof part after an earthquake is found. Afterwards, by considering the shape and other structural properties of this roof part with its pre-event condition in a fuzzy inference system, the rate of damage for each candidate building is estimated. The results obtained from evaluation of this algorithm using QuickBird images of the December 2003 Bam, Iran, earthquake prove the ability of this method for post-earthquake damage assessment of buildings.
Enhancement of skin penetration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from extemporaneously compounded topical-gel formulations. (2015)

Ketoprofen and ibuprofen topical gels were compounded with decyl methyl sulfoxide and the terpenes d-limonene, (-)-menthone, terpinen-4-ol, and a-terpineol as penetration enhancers. Transdermal penetration profiles for both ketoprofen and ibuprofen were determined using full-thickness human skin, modified Franz diffusion cells and an isotonic (pH7.4) phosphate buffer solution. Human skin was used in these experiments to approximate the therapeutic use of these gels. Ibuprofen was found to have superior transdermal kinetics when compared to ketoprofen. Ibuprofen is a smaller and more lipophilic molecule than ketoprofen, which gives it better penetration properties. All enhancers tested significantly increased the penetration (except (-)-menthone) and skin retention (except terpinen-4-ol) of ketoprofen. None of the enhancers tested significantly increased the penetration or retention of ibuprofen. Despite the lack of enhancer activity, ibuprofen still demonstrated higher skin penetration and retention than enhanced delivery of ketoproen. The results of these studies suggest that the addition of penetration enhancers can significantly increase the amount of ketoprofen penetration, while enhancers demonstrated no significant increase (and can actually decrease) the amount of ibuprofen penetrating into and through the skin.
The inhibitory effect of (111)In-DTPA(0)-octreotide on intrahepatic tumor growth after partial hepatectomy. (2002)

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy with (111)In-DTPA(0)-octreotide is effective in SS-R-positive tumors. During liver regeneration, the growth of SS-R-negative tumors is also reduced. This effect is not induced by impairment of liver regeneration or liver function. Radionuclide therapy could therefore be a promising treatment modality for patients with symptomatic liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors in combination with liver resection.
Specifying access control policies for XML documents with XPath (2004)

Access control for XML documents is a non-trivial topic, as can be witnessed from the number of approaches presented in the literature. Trying to compare these, we discovered the need for a simple, clearand unambiguous language to state the declarative semantics of an access control policy. All current approaches state the semantics in natural language, which has none of the above properties. This makes it hard to assess whether the proposed algorithms are correct (i.e., really implement the described semantics). It is also hard to assess the proposed policy on its merits, and to compare it to others (for file systems for instance). This paper shows how XPath can be used to specify the semantics of an access control policy for XML documents. Using XPath has great advantages: it is standard technology, widely used and it has clear and easy syntax and semantics. We use the developed framework to give a formal specification of the five most prominent approaches of access controlfor XML documents from the literature.

Pathogen-Related Differences in the Abundance of Presented Antigen Are Reflected in CD4+ T Cell Dynamic Behavior and Effector Function in the Lung (2014)

Exposure to pathogens in the periphery elicits effector T cell differentiation in local lymph nodes followed by migration of activated T cells to and within the infected site. However, the relationships among pathogen abundance, Ag display on MHC molecules, effector T cell dynamics, and functional responses at the infected sites are incompletely characterized. In this study, we compared CD4(+) T cell effector dynamics and responses during pulmonary mycobacterial infection versus acute influenza infection. Two-photon imaging together with in situ as well as ex vivo analysis of cytokine production revealed that the proportion of migration-arrested, cytokine-producing effector T cells was dramatically higher in the influenza-infected lungs due to substantial differences in Ag abundance in the two infectious states. Despite the marked inflammatory conditions associated with influenza infection, histocytometric analysis showed that cytokine production was focal, with a restriction to areas of significant Ag burden. Optimal effector function is thus constrained by the availability of TCR ligands, pointing to the value of increasing Ag stimulation rather than effector numbers in harnessing CD4(+) T cells for therapeutic purposes in such conditions.
Brief Review on Nano Robots in Bio Medical Applications (2012)

Nano-robots are the robots that are simply known as that controllable machine at the nano (10 -9 ) meter or molecular scale, composed of nano-components.More specifically, nano robotics refers to the still largely hypothetical nanotechnology engineering discipline of designing and building nano robots.Even though the field of nano robotics is fundamentally different from that of the macro robots due to the differences in scale and material, there are many similarities in design and control techniques that eventually could be projected and applied.Due to the modern scientific capabilities, it has become possible to attempt the creation of nano robotic devices and interface them with the macro world for control.There are countless such machines which exist in nature and there is an opportunity to build more of them by mimicking nature.Nowadays these nano robots play a vital role in the field of Bio Medicine.Especially in the treatment of cancer, Cerebral Aneurysm, kidney stones removal, also to remove the defected part in our DNA structure and some other treatments that has the greatest aid to save human lives.This paper guides to the recent research on nano robots in the Bio medical applications.
