Measuring similarity of graph nodes by neighbor matching (2012)

The problem of measuring similarity of graph nodes is important in a range of practical problems. There is a number of proposed measures, usually based on iterative calculation of similarity and the principle that two nodes are as similar as their ne
Partial Cloning of ACO gene in Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv. Yellow Liberty) (2003)

For the cloning of ACO (ACC-oxidase) gene, RT-PCR was carried out to amplify the nucleotides encoding conserved domains of ACO protein in carnation cv. Yellow Liberty. 563 bp of RCR product was subcloned, sequenced, and named ACO-1. The amino acid sequence of ACO-1 was same as ACO proteins in other carnation cultivars. Partial cloned ACO-1 was revealed to detect effectively variation in the amount of transcript of ACO in carnation cv. Pink Donor treated with chemicals influencing the ACO activity.
Laser Pulse Application in IVF (2011)

In-vitro fertilization (IVF) involves the culture and manipulation of gametes and embryos within a laboratory environment. IVF procedures are channeled towards enhancing fertilization and assisting the normal developmental physiology of the growing embryo to increase implantation potential, culminating in the birth of a healthy baby. Laser and its selective application to various steps in the IVF process is an area of growing interest. In this chapter, we review the use of laser technology in the field of assisted reproduction as well as in stem cell research. The first step in the IVF process involves fertilization of the oocyte. For this to occur, sperm must penetrate the outer membrane known as the “zona pellucida” which surrounds the egg. This natural barrier prevents the entry of multiple sperm. Often it is necessary to assist fertilization by directly injecting a single sperm into the oocyte, a technique known as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Laser pulse has been utilized to immobilize the human sperm tail before ICSI and in assisting the injection technique by creating a hole in the zona (laser assisted ICSI). Once successfully fertilized, the resulting embryo undergoes successive cell divisions. To implant on the uterine wall, the embryo must escape from the surrounding zona, a process known as hatching. Laser assisted hatching has been employed to create a controlled opening of the zona and facilitate embryo implantation after transfer to the patient’s uterus. Zona opening through use of a laser pulse has also been used to extract a single cell from the growing embryo for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Another application of the laser in reproductive biology has been cellular microsurgery. Embryonic stem cells can be isolated from a blastocyst stage embryo by selective ablation of trophectodermal cells, leaving behind the stem cell source material. More recently, laser has been used to induce fluid loss from the blastocyst stage embryo before cryopreservation. We discuss this novel application of laser and our own work with artificially collapsing blastocysts before freezing to reduce ice crystal damage. This article also documents the evolution of laser pulse in IVF from the first generation of lasers with UV range wavelengths to the newer generation of lasers with emissions in the infrared range. Design characteristics for the ideal laser pulse for clinical IVF use are presented. Finally, safety considerations as regards laser usage at such early stages of development and potential risks to the newborn are discussed. The current FDA classification and approved devices are also reviewed. Numerous engineering devices have been used in biomanipulation and a thorough understanding of both the disciplines of biology and engineering is imperative to develop
FastRoute: A Step to Integrate Global Routing into Placement (2006)

Because of the increasing dominance of interconnect issues in advanced IC technology, placement has become a critical step in the IC design flow. To get accurate interconnect information during the placement process, it is desirable to incorporate global routing into it. However, previous global routers are computationally expensive. It is impractical to perform global routing repeatedly during placement. In this paper, we present an extremely fast and high-quality global router called FastRoute. In traditional global routing approaches, congestion is not considered during Steiner tree construction. So they have to rely on the time-consuming maze routing technique to eliminate routing congestion. Different from traditional approaches, we proposed a congestion-driven Steiner tree topology generation technique and an edge shifting technique to determine the good Steiner tree topologies and Steiner node positions. Based on the congestion-driven Steiner trees, we only need to apply maze routing to a small percentage of the two-pin nets once to obtain high quality global routing solutions. We also proposed a new cost function based on logistic function to direct the maze routing. Experimental results show that FastRoute generates less congested solutions in 132times and 64times faster runtimes than the state-of-the-art academic global routers Labyrinth (R. Kastner et al, 2000) and Chi Dispersion router (R. T. Hadsell and P. H. Madden, 2003), respectively. It is even faster than the highly-efficient congestion estimator FaDGloR (J. Westra and P. Groeneveld, 2005). The promising results make it possible to incorporate global routing directly into placement process without much runtime penalty. This could dramatically improve the placement solution quality. We believe this work will fundamentally change the way the EDA community look at and make use of global routing in the whole design flow
Perspectives: sequence data base searching in the era of large-scale genomic sequencing. (1996)

Large-scale sequencing of human and model organism genomes will have a profound impact on our ability to use sequence data base searching to predict the biochemical functions of sequences of interest. Despite the great value of more sequences in the data bases, a huge increase in data base size will also have adverse effects on data base searches. Upcoming problems will include (1) greatly increased search times, (2) an increase in background noise of high-scoring but biologically irrelevant matches, (3) inaccurate coding region prediction, leading to problems in protein data base searching, and (4) limited first-pass sequence annotation, making it difficult to determine the biological relevance of data base hits. Improved data base annotation tools and construction of smaller data bases of representative and highly-annotated sequences for first-pass analyses will be essential to deal with the impending flood of new genomic sequence.
Expression of protein C inhibitor (PCI) in benign and malignant prostatic tissues (2003)

PCI is widely expressed in benign prostatic epithelium, and may act as a local regulator of enzymatic activity in seminal fluid, of importance for normal sperm function. Lack of PCI expression in a subpopulation of high-grade tumor cells in combination with maintained protease expression may facilitate invasive growth patterns.
24.2: A 1300‐dpi Optical Image Sensor Using an a‐Si:H Photo Diode Array Driven by LTPS TFTs (2007)

Abstract We have developed a 1300‐dpi optical image sensor using a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a‐Si:H) pin diode array driven by low‐temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin film transistors (TFT) on a glass substrate. This paper describes a new architecture for achieving a high‐resolution optical image sensor using LTPS TFT production equipment.
Eye-tracking the semiotic effects of layout on viewing print advertisements (2018)

The print advertisement produces meaning for its readers through the interaction of a complex system of semiotic elements. Understanding this meaning is based on readers’ ability to follow the established reading conventions of their culture. The article describes a study that uses eye-tracking technology to examine readers’ interaction with the semiotic elements of two print advertisements. The relation between print advertisements and semiotics is informed by intersemiotic analysis and the reading path concept. The advertisements’ layout is rearranged to form two sets of texts: one original advertisement and a modified version. We have calculated the time sequence in which visual and verbal areas attract attention, the amount of time spent on them and the depth of attention paid to the areas read. The results show how layout re-arrangement affects reading behaviour, such as reading the smallest visual first and the target text sequentially without visual elements interrupting the reading, or having the same point of entry in both the original and the modified advertisements.
Performance Analysis of Machine-Learning Approaches for Modeling the Charging/Discharging Proﬁles of Stationary Battery Systems with Non-Uniform Cell Aging (2017)

The number of Stationary Battery Systems (SBS) connected to various power distribution networks across the world has increased drastically. The increase in the integration of renewable energy sources is one of the major contributors to the increase in the number of SBS. SBS are also used in other applications such as peak load management, load-shifting, voltage regulation and power quality improvement. Accurately modeling the charging/discharging characteristics of such SBS at various instances (charging/discharging profile) is vital for many applications. Capacity loss due to the aging of the batteries is an important factor to be considered for estimating the charging/discharging profile of SBS more accurately. Empirical modeling is a common approach used in the literature for estimating capacity loss, which is further used for estimating the charging/discharging profiles of SBS. However, in the case of SBS used for renewable integration and other grid related applications, machine-learning (ML) based models provide extreme flexibility and require minimal resources for implementation. The models can even leverage existing smart meter data to estimate the charging/discharging profile of SBS. In this paper, an analysis on the performance of different ML approaches that can be applied for lithium iron phosphate battery systems and vanadium redox flow battery systems used as SBS is presented for the scenarios where the aging of individual cells is non-uniform.
It's all over : editor's forum (2009)

I can't say I am all that I am too upset in bidding this year a fond farewell. It has been, not too put too fine a point on it, interesting. And we all know the old Chinese curse - May you live in interesting times. This said, there are signs, murmurs, rumblings of a recovery in the industry. This bodes well for 2010 and everyone I spoke to is optimistic and is looking forward to doing business, and lots of it, over the next 12 months. That's right, 12 months. Not just the six weeks surrounding the World Cup.
Trusted Digital Identities for Mobile Devices (2020)

The pace of usage of personal devices has increased within industry, driving demand for trusted digital identities. As the world becomes increasingly mobile with the number of smartphone users growing yearly and the mobile web thriving, it is critical to implement strong security on mobile devices. As passwords are not a secure method of authentication, mobile devices and other forms of IoT require a means of two-factor authentication that meets strong security standards. The research presented in this paper provides a framework that updates the existing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in use by industry and governments today to accommodate the use of digital identities on smartphones, tablets, or even a smartwatch.
Protease Inhibitor Resistance Analysis in the MONARK Trial Comparing First-Line Lopinavir-Ritonavir Monotherapy to Lopinavir-Ritonavir plus Zidovudine and Lamivudine Triple Therapy (2009)

The MONARK study was a pilot randomized trial comparing the safety and efficacy of lopinavir-ritonavir (LPV/r) monotherapy to those of LPV/r-zidovudine-lamivudine triple therapy for antiretroviral-naïve human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients. Resistance testing was performed at the time of initial screening and at the time of virological failure (defined to include low-level viremia with >50 and <400 HIV-1 virus RNA copies/ml of plasma). Changes from the baseline sequences, including mutations noted on the 2008 International AIDS Society-USA list of resistance-associated protease mutations, were considered. Drug resistance testing was performed for 38 patients (5 of 53 on triple therapy and 33 of 83 on monotherapy). By week 96 (W96), virus samples from 18 of 33 patients in the monotherapy arm showed changes from baseline sequences, and 5 of these patients had viruses with major protease inhibitor (PI) resistance-associated mutations (M46I at W40, L76V at W48, M46I and L76V at W48, L10F and V82A at W72, and L76V at W84). Data on virus phenotypes detected at the time of initial screening and the time of virological failure were available for four patients in whom major PI resistance mutations developed, and these data revealed a mean increase of 2.2-fold (range, 0.75- to 4.6-fold) in the LPV 50% inhibitory concentration. All three patients in whom the L76V PI resistance mutation developed were infected with HIV-1 subtype CRF02_AG. In the triple-therapy group, no major PI resistance mutation was selected among the three patients with protease changes by W48. No association between the baseline CD4 cell count and the viral load, the W4 and final viral loads, or the final LPV trough concentration and the emergence of a major PI resistance mutation was found. Major PI resistance-associated mutations were detected in 5 (6%) of 83 patients treated with LPV/r monotherapy, suggesting that LPV/r monotherapy is an inappropriate first option. The mutation L76V may be considered in further studies of lopinavir resistance.
Inducing Translation Templates for Example-Based Machine Translation (1999)

This paper describes an example-based machine translation (EBMT) system which relays on various knowledge resources. Morphologic analyses abstract the surface forms of the languages to be translated. A shallow syntactic rule formalism is used to percolate features in derivation trees. Translation examples serve the decomposition of the text to be translated and determine the transfer of lexical values into the target language. Translation templates determine the word order of the target language and the type of phrases (e.g. noun phrase, prepositional phase, ...) to be generated in the target language. An induction mechanism generalizes translation templates from translation examples. The paper outlines the basic idea underlying the EBMT system and investigates the possibilities and limits of the translation template induction process.

Staggered multicast protocol with collision-free acknowledgement in multihop spread spectrum packet radio networks (2003)

The authors present the staggered multicast protocol with collision-free acknowledgement, which is suitable for unicasting and broadcasting as well as multicasting in multihop spread spectrum packet radio networks. The common-header/transmitter-based spreading code is used for data packet transmission and the receiver-based code is used for acknowledgement packet transmission. By staggering packet transmission the protocol can significantly reduce broadcasting delay. A special addressing method and packet format are also proposed to achieve collision-free acknowledgement and multicast capability. The simulation result shows that the protocol provides better throughput-delay performance than the common-header/transmitter-based slotted ALOHA protocol.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Quadrature Amplitude Modulated Backscatter in Passive and Semipassive UHF RFID Systems (2012)

Passive and semipassive UHF RF identification (RFID) systems have traditionally been designed using scalar-valued differential radar cross section (DRCS) methods to model the backscattered signal from the tag. This paper argues that scalar-valued DRCS analysis is unnecessarily limiting because of the inherent coherence of the backscatter link and the complex-valued nature of load-dependent antenna-mode scattering from an RFID tag. Considering modulated backscatter in terms of complex-valued scattered fields opens the possibility of quadrature modulation of the backscatter channel. When compared with binary amplitude shift keying (ASK) or phase shift keying (PSK) based RFID systems, which transmit 1 bit of data per symbol period, and thus 1 bit per on-chip clock oscillator period, tags employing vector backscatter modulation can transmit more than 1 bit per symbol period. This increases the data rate for a given on-chip symbol clock rate leading to reduced on-chip power consumption and extended read range. Alternatively, tags employing an M-ary modulator can achieve log <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> M higher data throughput at essentially the same dc power consumption as a tag employing binary ASK or PSK. In contrast to the binary ASK or PSK backscatter modulation employed by passive and semipassive UHF RFID tags, such as tags compliant with the widely used ISO18000-6c standard, this paper explores a novel CMOS-compatible method for generating M-ary quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) backscatter modulation. A new method is presented for designing an inductorless M-ary QAM backscatter modulator using only an array of switched resistances and capacitances. Device-level simulation and measurements of a four-state phase shift keying (4-PSK)/four-state quadrature amplitude modulated (4-QAM) modulator are provided for a semipassive (battery-assisted) tag operating in the 850-950-MHz band. This first prototype modulator transmits 4-PSK/4-QAM at a symbol rate of 200 kHz and a bit rate of 400 kb/s at a static power dissipation of only 115 nW.

Alkaloid levels in tobacco are of great concern owing to nicotine addiction and associated diseases.
The evolution of hydroxyurea therapy in chronic myelogenous leukemia. (1992)

The evolution of hydroxyurea as a chemotherapeutic agent has been unique. Hydroxyurea inhibits synthesis of DNA, has antitumor activity, and is myelosuppressive. It has attained a significant role in the management of chronic myelogenous leukemia. A nonrandomized comparison of busulfan and hydroxyurea concluded that hydroxyurea was the preferable agent in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and was associated with less life-threatening toxicity. Because of its systemic effects, hydroxyurea is also used in the treatment of polycythemia and psoriasis.
A multisensor employing an ultrasonic Lamb-wave oscillator (1988)

Initial experimental, analytical, and numerical evaluations of a microsensor that uses ultrasonic Lamb waves propagating in a thin plate supported by a silicon die are presented. Changes of oscillator frequency indicate magnitudes of the variables sensed. Because it is sensitive to many measurands, the device could operate as a microphone, biosensor, chemical vapor or gas detector, scale, pressure sensor, densitometer, radiometer, or thermometer. Because it is based on the use of Lamb waves, the sensor has selective response and sensitive operation in the low-megahertz frequency range in vacuum, in a gas, or while immersed in a liquid.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Development of Thin-Film Battery Powered Transdermal Medical Devices (1999)

Research carried out at ORNL has led to the development of solid state thin-film rechargeable lithium and lithium-ion batteries. These unique devices can be fabricated in a variety of shapes and to any required size, large or small, on virtually any type of substrate. Because they have high energies per unit of volume and mass and because they are rechargeable, thin-film lithium batteries have potentially many applications as small power supplies in consumer and special electronic products. Initially, the objective of this project was to develop thin-film battery powered products. Initially, the objective of this project was to develop thin-film battery powered transdermal electrodes for recording electrocardiograms and electroencephalograms. These ''active'' electrode would eliminate the effect of interference and improve the reliability in diagnosing heart or brain malfunctions. Work in the second phase of this project was directed at the development of thin-film battery powered implantable defibrillators.
