Gamification as a tool to encourage eco-driving (2016)

Context: In this work a system, the eco service, is developed that incorporates elements from gamification to help drivers adapt to a more energy-efficient driving style. An energy-efficient driving style can help reduce fuel consumption, increase traffic safety and help reduce the emissions made from vehicles. Objectives: The main goal of this work is to explore ways of how gamification can be used in the context of eco-driving. Evaluating different elements and how they work in this context is important to help drivers to continue improving their driving style. Method: The eco service was tested on 16 participants where each participants was asked to drive a predetermined route. During the experiment the participants were given access to the eco service in order to gain feedback on their driving. Lastly interviews were held with each participant on questions regarding the use of gamification and how it can be improved in the context of eco-driving. The research was done in collaboration with a swedish company, Swedspot AB, that works with software solutions for connected vehicles. Results & Conclusions: Positive results were found on the use of gamification. Participants reported that the eco service made them more aware of their driving situation and how to improve. Game elements with positive influence were reward and competitive based and helped motivate the driver to improve.

Processing of signals from media with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (1980)

The readback signals from a ring (Karlqvist) head and recording medium with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are analyzed using signal processing criteria. The self-consistent model developed by Beardsley and Potter is used to study the feasibility of detecting transitions at high densities. Simulated readback signals are discussed in terms of time and frequency domain characteristics. A simplified linear system model is proposed which includes the effects of media orientation. Filtering and detection methods for the "vertical" channel are discussed.

Reductive Electrochemical Cyclization of a Photochromic 1,2‐Dithienylcyclopentene Dication (2004)

Getting the blues: Electrochemical ring-closing is observed for the photochromic bis(pyridinium) dication of the dithienylethene backbone in which the pale yellow ring-open isomer can be converted to its blue ring-closed isomer by either irradiation with UV light or by electrochemical reduction (see picture). The electrochemical ring-closing reaction also produces a photochemically unobtainable product.

Large-scale water collection of bioinspired cavity-microfibers (2017)

Large-scale and high-efficient water collection of microfibers with long-term durability still remains challenging. Here we present well-controlled, bioinspired spindle-knot microfibers with cavity knots (named cavity-microfiber), precisely fabricated via a simple gas-in-water microfluidic method, to address this challenge. The cavity-microfiber is endowed with unique surface roughness, mechanical strength, and long-term durability due to the design of cavity as well as polymer composition, thus enabling an outstanding performance of water collection. The maximum water volume collected on a single knot is almost 495 times than that of the knot on the cavity-microfiber. Moreover, the spider-web-like networks assembled controllably by cavity-microfibers demonstrate excellent large-scale and high-efficient water collection. To maximize the water-collecting capacity, nodes/intersections should be designed on the topology of the network as many as possible. Our light-weighted yet tough, low-cost microfibers with high efficiency in directional water transportation offers promising opportunities for large-scale water collection in water-deficient areas.
Redox proteomic evaluation of bleaching and alkali damage in human hair (2013)

Filtering Methods for Subgraph Matching on Multiplex Networks (2018)

We present filtering methods for finding all sub-graphs of a large multiplex network that are isomorphic to a smaller template network. These methods are shown to be effective on a set of synthetic transaction networks from the DARPA Modeling Adversarial Activity (MAA) program. In some cases, filtering allows us to identify and enumerate all possible isomorphisms. We observe that in some of the MAA networks, the number of subgraphs isomorphic to the template is orders of magnitude larger than the size of the network.
Insider abuse comprehension through capability acquisition graphs (2008)

Abstract — Insider attacks constitute one of the most potent, yet difficult to detect threats to information security in the cyberdomain. Malicious actions perpetrated by privileged insiders usually circumvent intrusion detection systems (IDS) and other mechanisms designed to detect and prevent unauthorized activity. In this paper, we present an architectural framework and technique to aid in situation awareness of insider threats in a networked computing environment such as a corporate network. Individual actions by users are analyzed using a theoretical model called a Capability Acquisition Graph (CAG) to evaluate their cumulative effect and detect possible violations. Our approach is based on periodic evaluation of the privileges that users accumulate with respect to critical information assets during their work-flow. A static analysis tool called ICMAP is used to periodically construct CAGs which are then analyzed to uncover possible attacks. The process is demonstrated by considering an information process cycle from the real-world.
Iterative channel estimation and phase noise compensation for SC-FDE based mmWave systems (2015)

In the future super dense wireless networks, millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications systems have great prospects, mainly due to the huge bandwidths and the directional transmissions. However, phase noise is significant due to the high oscillation frequency, which affects channel estimation and deteriorates the bit-error-rate (BER) performance. This paper emphasizes that phase noise may be estimated in the frequency domain, and a scheme with iterative channel estimation and phase noise compensation is proposed for single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) based mmWave systems. We achieve channel estimation by calculating small perturbations iteratively with the first-order approximation. For signal demodulation, we adopt an iterative receiver to compensate phase noise with the decision feedback result. Comprehensive simulations demonstrate that our scheme achieves competitive performance and outperforms the traditional methods, in terms of both mean square error (MSE) in channel estimation and BER in signal demodulation.
What's new on the moon. I (1977)

Apollo missions and returned lunar samples have provided new information about the moon, the earth, the sun, and the universe. Analyses show that all the planets were formed by the rapid accumulation of small bodies into larger ones about 4.6 billion years ago. The existence of simple molecules formed by reactions between the soil particles and atoms of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen that have come from the sun, suggests that the basic ingredients for life are common in the universe. The ratio of hydrogen to helium in the solar wind reaching the moon is found to be 20 to 1, whereas the earth-based measurements show this ratio to be 10 to 1. Although the moon does not have any magnetic field at the present, the analyses revealed the existence of such a field three billion years ago. The understanding of the reasons for the disappearance of this field is vital for understanding planetary magnetic fields. The determination of the chemical composition of the whole moon, the explanation of the moon's observed asymmetry, and the understanding of the nature of moon's interior will have to be achieved by future, possibly unmanned, missions.
Human IL2RA null mutation mediates immunodeficiency with lymphoproliferation and autoimmunity (2013)

Cell-surface CD25 expression is critical for maintaining immune function and homeostasis. As in few reported cases, CD25 deficiency manifests with severe autoimmune enteritis and viral infections. To dissect the underlying immunological mechanisms driving these symptoms, we analyzed the regulatory and effector T cell functions in a CD25 deficient patient harboring a novel IL2RA mutation. Pronounced lymphoproliferation, mainly of the CD8(+) T cells, was detected together with an increase in T cell activation markers and elevated serum cytokines. However, Ag-specific responses were impaired in vivo and in vitro. Activated CD8(+)STAT5(+) T cells with lytic potential infiltrated the skin, even though FOXP3(+) Tregs were present and maintained a higher capacity to respond to IL-2 compared to other T-cell subsets. Thus, the complex pathogenesis of CD25 deficiency provides invaluable insight into the role of IL2/IL-2RA-dependent regulation in autoimmunity and inflammatory diseases.
Agriculture : l'émergence de nouveaux comportements (1984)

Agricultura : aperición de nuevos comportamientos - Una proporción de día en día más reducida de mujeres se dedica a la profesión de agricultora. Con relación a varones, por lo contrario, esta proporción, al parecer, se va estabilizando. En su con junto, los agricultores son de edad relativamente avanzada y siguen a menudo ejerciendo su actividad al pasar de los sesenta anos. El comportamiento de los varones agricultores presenta sumos cambios desde fines de los años del sesenta : el ingresar en la agricultura decreció algo, además se entra en ella más tarde y la permanencia es más estable. Así pues, para las generaciones de la inmediata posguerra eran numerosos hasta los veinte años los que se dedicaban a agricultura pero seguía una considerable proporción de bajas. Por lo contrario, respecto a las generaciones siguientes, no fueron tan numerosos los que se dedicaron a la agricultura pero no siguieron abandonándola. Por consiguiente, en 1982, la proporción de agricultores entre activos es poco más o menos parecida respecto a todas las generaciones de la posguerra (un 3,5 % aproximadamente). ¿ Perdurará dicha estabilización? Resulta prematuro decirlo.
The IBM 3850 mass storage system: Design aspects (1975)

The IBM 3850 mass storage system is a new concept in large data base storage. This paper explores the principal design objectives and the options chosen in designing the hardware and the data flow for the system. The 3850 is an approach that provides up to 472 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">9</sup> bytes of storage, gives reasonable on-line storage cost comparable to manually loaded flexible media products such as half-inch tape drives, provides internally controlled data staging at the request of the host processor, and provides a parallel-path data flow. The parallel-path data flow in turn provides multiple staging and destaging-plus increased availability of data--by using full multiple data paths for all data.
Retransmission-Based Error Control for Continuous Media Applications (1996)

1 Retransmission-based error recovery has been, in general, considered inappropriate for continuous media (CM) applications, because of its latency. However, retransmission is still attractive because it requires minimal network bandwidth, (less than either peak-bandwidth allocation or FEC for bursty streams) and processing cost. Despite its latency, we believe that retransmission can be used successfully in many cases, especially if playout buffering is employed. We have designed and implemented a retransmissionbased error control scheme for CM applications, which aims to provide the best possible reliability at a minimal cost, without violating the application&apos;s timing constraints. We have enhanced selective-repeat retransmission with: (1) playout buffering to increase the time available for recovery, (2) gap-based rather than timer-based loss detection to minimize loss detection latency, (3) implicit expiration of sender retransmission buffers to eliminate acknowledgments, (4) condi...
Broadband cholesteric liquid crystal lens for chromatic aberration correction in catadioptric virtual reality optics (2021)

A planar and broadband cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) lens is designed, fabricated, and hybridized with a refractive lens to form a catadioptric pancake lens for virtual reality (VR) displays. Due to their opposite optical dispersion behaviors, the chromatic aberration of the assembled pancake lens is dramatically suppressed, as verified by both ray-tracing analysis and experimental results. The demonstrated catadioptric pancake lens has great potential for next-generation VR displays.
Clinical trials of dendritic cell-based cancer vaccines in hematologic malignancies (2014)

The potential for the immune system to target hematological malignancies is demonstrated in the allogeneic transplant setting, where durable responses can be achieved. However, allogeneic transplantation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality related to graft versus host disease. Cancer immunotherapy has the capacity to direct a specific cytotoxic immune response against cancer cells, particularly residual cancer cells, in order to reduce the likelihood of disease relapse in a more targeted and tolerated manner. Ex vivo dendritic cells can be primed in various ways to present tumor associated antigen to the immune system, in the context of co-stimulatory molecules, eliciting a tumor specific cytotoxic response in patients. Several approaches to prime dendritic cells and overcome the immunosuppressive microenvironment have been evaluated in pre-clinical and early clinical trials with promising results. In this review, we summarize the clinical data evaluating dendritic cell based vaccines for the treatment of hematological malignancies.

The RTX haemolysins ApxI and ApxII are major virulence factors of the swine pathogen<i>Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae:</i>evidence from mutational analysis (1994)

The involvement of the RTX haemolysins (ApxI and ApxII) of the swine pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in virulence was investigated using haemolysin-deficient mutants constructed by a mini-Tn10 mutagenesis procedure. Two types of haemolysin mutant with single insertions of the transposon were obtained from a serotype 1 strain producing both ApxI and ApxII. One presented a complete loss of haemolytic activity because of the absence of ApxI and ApxII production. The other displayed weaker haemolysis than the wild type and produced only ApxII. The chromosomal regions flanking mini-Tn10 were cloned and sequenced. In the non-haemolytic mutant, the transposon had inserted in apxIB, a gene involved in the exportation of ApxI and ApxII toxins. The weakly haemolytic mutant resulted from the disruption of the structural gene for ApxI. Both mutations in the apxI operon were associated with a significant loss of virulence for mice and pigs, demonstrating that haemolysins are involved in A. pleuropneumoniae pathogenicity. The non-haemolytic mutant was apathogenic and the weakly haemolytic mutant retained some virulence for pigs, suggesting that both ApxI and ApxII are needed for full virulence.
Differences in biological activity among batches of lyophilized tice Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and their association with clinical course in Stage I lung cancer. (1983)

Various measures of biological activity were studied in batches of lyophilized Tice Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) that have been used intrapleurally as adjuvant therapy in surgically resected Stage I lung cancer patients by our own group, the North American Lung Cancer Study Group, and the Ludwig Lung Cancer Study Group. The biological activities of BCG that were studied were: (a) inhibition of solid tumor growth in mice following s.c. inoculation of BCG admixed with methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma cells (MC 43); (b) protection against tumor colonization of lungs and prolongation of survival in mice pretreated intrapleurally with BCG and later inoculated i.v. with a lethal dose of MC 43 tumor cells; and (c) growth properties in vitro, including a determination of the relative amounts of growing and nongrowing material and the sensitivity of growing material to inhibition by isoniazid. Significant differences in biological activity among batches of BCG were found. Some batches of BCG protected mice against circulating tumor cells, while others did not. Batches of BCG which protected mice against circulating tumor cells were found to have greater sensitivity to isoniazid and higher viability than batches which did not elicit this antitumor activity. There were also trends of some batches of BCG outperforming others in the clinic. Cumulative disease-free interval of patients was longer with batches which protected mice against circulating tumor cells than with batches which did not protect mice against circulating tumor cells. The results of this study suggest that preclinical testing of BCG for antitumor activity may improve the efficacy of this agent in future clinical trials.
Mutations in <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> Resulting in Reduced Susceptibility to Posaconazole Appear To Be Restricted to a Single Amino Acid in the Cytochrome P450 14α-Demethylase (2003)

To better understand the molecular basis of posaconazole (POS) resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus, resistant laboratory isolates were selected. Spontaneous mutants arose at a frequency of 1 in 10(8) and fell into two susceptibility groups, moderately resistant and highly resistant. Azole resistance in A. fumigatus was previously associated with decreased drug accumulation. We therefore analyzed the mutants for changes in levels of transcripts of genes encoding efflux pumps (mdr1 and mdr2) and/or alterations in accumulation of [(14)C]POS. No changes in either pump expression or drug accumulation were detected. Similarly, there was no change in expression of cyp51A or cyp51B, which encode the presumed target site for POS, cytochrome P450 14alpha-demethylase. DNA sequencing revealed that each resistant isolate carried a single point mutation in residue 54 of cyp51A. Mutations at the same locus were identified in three clinical A. fumigatus isolates exhibiting reduced POS susceptibility but not in susceptible clinical strains. To verify that these mutations were responsible for the resistance phenotype, we introduced them into the chromosome of a POS-susceptible A. fumigatus strain under the control of the glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase promoter. The transformants exhibited reductions in susceptibility to POS comparable to those exhibited by the original mutants, confirming that point mutations in the cyp51A gene in A. fumigatus can confer reduced susceptibility to POS.

Utilization of Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Binder in Lightweight Oil Palm Shell Geopolymer Concrete (2014)

Traditionally fly ash (FA) has been used to replace cement as binder in the geopolymer concrete. The utilization of palm oil industrial waste materials known as palm oil fuel ash (POFA) and oil palm shell (OPS) that are abundantly available in South East Asia as binder and coarse aggregate in geopolymer concrete would give an added advantage in both the environmental and economic aspects. The mechanical properties of the OPS geopolymer concrete (OPSGC) through the use of POFA, FA, and OPS are investigated and reported. A total of ten OPSGC mixtures were prepared with varying percentages of POFA and FA such as 0, 10, 20, 40, and 100%. The specimens prepared with two alkaline solution to binder (AK/B) ratios of 0.35 and 0.55 were oven cured at 65°C for 48 hours. The experimental results showed that the highest compressive strength of 30 MPa was obtained for the mix with 20% replacement of FA by POFA and AK/B ratio of 0.55, which underwent oven curing. Further, the mix of up to 20% POFA (with AK/B ratio of 0.55) can be categorized as structural lightweight concrete. An increase of the POFA content beyond 20% decreases the mechanical properties, and hence this mix is recommended to be used.
