See and listen: Score-informed association of sound tracks to players in chamber music performance videos (2017)

Both audio and visual aspects of a musical performance, especially their association, are important for expressing players' ideas and for engaging the audience. In this paper, we present a framework for combining audio and video analyses of multi-instrument chamber music performances to associate players in the video to the individual separated instrument sources from the audio, in a score-informed fashion. The instrument sources are first separated using a score-informed source separation techniques. The individual sources are then associated with different players in the video by correlating the onset instants of their aligned score tracks with the players' motion detected using optical flow. Experiments on 19 musical pieces with varying polyphony show that the proposed method obtains the correct association for 17 pieces, and an accuracy of 89.2% of the association of all individual tracks. The approach enables novel music enjoyment experiences by allowing users to target an audio source by clicking on the player in the video to separate/enhance it.
Reactivity, Structures, and NMR Spectroscopy of Half-Sandwich Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Rhodium Amido Complexes Relevant to Transfer Hydrogenation (2009)

The reactivity, structures, and NMR spectroscopy of a series of compounds relevant to asymmetric transfer hydrogenation, of general formula Cp*RhCl(S,S-4-RC6H4SO2NCHPhCHPhNH2) (Cp* = η5-C5Me5, S,S-2a R = Me, S,S-2b R = tBu, S,S-2c R = F), have been studied. 1H/15N HMQC NMR spectra of 2a−2c were recorded with 15N in natural abundance making use of the coupling to the C5Me5 protons; the coupling constants JRhN were ca. 15 and 20 Hz for the amino and amido nitrogens, respectively. 1H/103Rh NMR spectra of 2a and 2c were recorded similarly. The chloride ligand in S,S-2a has been shown to be very labile; reaction with CO afforded the cationic complex [Cp*Rh(CO){C(O)N(Ts)CHPhCHPhNH2}][Cl] (3a) as a mixture of diastereomers, S,S,RRh and S,S,SRh, with opposite chirality at Rh; reaction with tBuNC gave [Cp*Rh(CNtBu)(S,S-TsCHPhCHPhNH2)][PF6] (4a), and reactions with LiBr and KI gave Cp*RhBr(S,S-TsNCHPhCHPhNH2) (6a) and Cp*RhI(S,S-TsNCHPhCHPhNH2) (7a), respectively. Complexes S,S-2c, S,S-6a, and S,S-7a have been characterized by X-ray crystallography; the amino N−Rh bond is significantly shorter than the amido N−Rh bond in all cases (difference Δr 0.058(2), 0.085(6), and 0.046(4) Å, respectively), and the complexes all possess intramolecular NH···X (X = Cl, Br, I) hydrogen bonds. The reaction of 2a with formic acid results in complete displacement of the chelating ligand and the formation of dinuclear [{Cp*Rh}2(μ-H)(μ-Cl)(μ-HCO2)][BPh4] (5a), which was also characterized crystallographically. Reaction of 2c with AgOTf resulted in the formation of [Cp*Rh(OH2)(4-FC6H4SO2NCHPhCHPhNH2)][OTf] ([8c·H2O][OTf]) or [Cp*Rh(4-FC6H4SO2NCHPhCHPhNH2)]2[OTf]2 ([8c]2[OTf]2) depending upon the conditions employed. [8c·H2O][OTf] was characterized by X-ray crystallography, and the structure showed that both CHPh centers in the ligand had been racemized, converting the S,S isomer of the starting material into a mixture of both R,R and S,S isomers.
Single-Site Modifications and Their Effect on the Folding Stability of <i>m</i>-Phenylene Ethynylene Oligomers (2004)

[reaction: see text] The folded structure of a m-phenylene ethynylene oligomer is tolerant to single-site modifications to both the backbone sequence and end groups. The helical structure is reinforced by multiple noncovalent interactions, allowing the oligomer sequence to be customized without a significant change in stability in most cases. The small changes that are observed are consistent with the expected behavior of pi-stacked systems and demonstrate subtle control over folding through single-site modifications.
Analysis and modelling of power distribution networks and plane structures in multichip modules and PCB's (2002)

The analysis and modeling of power and ground planes in multichip modules and printed circuit board systems is presented. Ground effects such as simultaneous switching noise and ground bounce have been an increasingly limiting factor in the signal integrity and design of high speed systems. However, it is often difficult and time consuming to analyze and simulate those effects. An integral equation boundary element algorithm is applied to the electromagnetic modeling of plane structures. An efficient quasi-static approximation is introduced to simplify the complex frequency dependance while retaining the accurate AC characteristics. Equivalent circuits are extracted and utilized for the ground noise analysis and system transient response. The equivalent circuits can also be conveniently combined with signal nets or other external circuitry in system signal integrity analysis. This greatly reduces the computation time and makes design simulations practical on engineering workstations.
What Do You Do? Occupation Recognition in a Photo via Social Context (2013)

In this paper, we investigate the problem of recognizing occupations of multiple people with arbitrary poses in a photo. Previous work utilizing single person's nearly frontal clothing information and fore/background context preliminarily proves that occupation recognition is computationally feasible in computer vision. However, in practice, multiple people with arbitrary poses are common in a photo, and recognizing their occupations is even more challenging. We argue that with appropriately built visual attributes, co-occurrence, and spatial configuration model that is learned through structure SVM, we can recognize multiple people's occupations in a photo simultaneously. To evaluate our method's performance, we conduct extensive experiments on a new well-labeled occupation database with 14 representative occupations and over 7K images. Results on this database validate our method's effectiveness and show that occupation recognition is solvable in a more general case.

NOTCH1 Aberrations in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (2018)

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an incurable B-cell neoplasm characterized by highly variable clinical outcomes. In recent years, genomic and molecular studies revealed a remarkable heterogeneity in CLL, which mirrored the clinical diversity of this disease. These studies profoundly enhanced our understanding of leukemia cell biology and led to the identification of new biomarkers with potential prognostic and therapeutic significance. Accumulating evidence indicates a key role of deregulated NOTCH1 signaling and <i>NOTCH1</i> mutations in CLL. This review highlights recent discoveries that improve our understanding of the pathophysiological NOTCH1 signaling in CLL and the clinical impact of <i>NOTCH1</i> mutations in retrospective and prospective trials. In addition, we discuss the rationale for a therapeutic strategy aiming at inhibiting NOTCH1 signaling in CLL, along with an overview on the currently available NOTCH1-directed approaches.
Photonic Shells: Photonic Spring‐Like Shell Templated from Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Prepared by Microfluidics (Advanced Optical Materials 13/2017) (2017)

A solid-state photonic shell templated from cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) is prepared using a microfluidic method with a reactive chiral mesogen mixture after UV curing and chiral dopant extraction. The resultant shells, presented by Soo-Young Park and Jong-Gyu Kum in article number 1700243, which can encapsulate/release materials by opening/closing pores, show a photonic crystal-like structure responding to changes of temperature and solvent quality by color change in reflection and cross communication between the CLC shells.
Gene Therapy for Canine alpha-L-Iduronidase Deficiency: In Utero Adoptive Transfer of Genetically Corrected Hematopoietic Progenitors Results in Engraftment but Not Amelioration of Disease (1999)

Canine alpha-L-iduronidase (iduronidase) deficiency is a model of the human lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I). We used this canine model to evaluate the therapeutic potential of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy for enzyme deficiencies. In previous studies, iduronidase-deficient dogs infused with autologous marrow cells genetically modified to express iduronidase had long-term engraftment with provirally marked cells, but there was no evidence of proviral iduronidase expression or clinical improvement. The presence of humoral and cellular immune responses against iduronidase apparently abrogated the therapeutic potential of HSC gene therapy in these experiments. To evaluate HSC gene therapy for canine MPS I in the absence of a confounding immune response, we have now performed in utero adoptive transfer of iduronidase-transduced MPS I marrow cells into preimmune fetal pups. In three separate experiments, 17 midgestation fetal pups were injected with 0.5-1.5 x 10(7) normal or MPS I allogeneic long-term marrow culture (LTMC) cells transduced with neo(r)- or iduronidase-containing retroviral vectors. Nine normal and three MPS I pups survived the neonatal period and demonstrated engraftment of provirally marked progenitors at levels of up to 12% for up to 12 months. However, the proportion of provirally marked circulating leukocytes was approximately 1%. Neither iduronidase enzyme nor proviral-specific transcripts were detected in blood or marrow leukocytes of any MPS I dog. Humoral immune responses to iduronidase were not detected in neonates, even after "boosting" with autologous iduronidase-transduced LTMC cells. All MPS I dogs died at 8-11 months of age from complications of MPS I disease with no evidence of amelioration of MPS I disease. Our results suggest that iduronidase-transduced primitive hematopoietic progenitors can engraft in fetal recipients, contribute to hematopoiesis, and induce immunologic nonresponsiveness to iduronidase in MPS I dogs. However, the therapeutic potential of HSC gene transfer in this model of iduronidase deficiency appears to be limited by poor maintenance of proviral iduronidase gene expression and relatively low levels of genetically corrected circulating leukocytes.
Elastic and adaptive optical networks: possible adoption scenarios and future standardization aspects (2011)

There is growing recognition that we are rapidly approaching the physical capacity limit of standard optical fiber. It is important to make better use of optical network resources to accommodate the ever-increasing traffic demand. One promising way is to introduce elasticity and adaptation into the optical domain through more flexible spectrum allocation, where the required minimum spectral resources are allocated adaptively based on traffic demand and network conditions. In this article, we discuss elastic and adaptive optical networks from the perspective of future standardization. We first overview the architecture, enabling technologies, and benefits of elastic and adaptive optical networks with the new concept of an optical corridor. We then present possible adoption scenarios from current rigid optical networks to elastic and adaptive optical networks. We discuss some possible study items that are relevant to the future standardization activities. These items include optical transport network architecture, structure and mapping of the optical transport unit, automatically switched optical network/generalized multiprotocol label switching control plane issues, and some physical aspects with possible extension of the current frequency grid.
Gene Expression Signature and the Prediction of Ulcerative Colitis–Associated Colorectal Cancer by DNA Microarray (2007)

These findings have important implications for the early detection of malignant lesions in UC and may provide directions for future research into the molecular mechanisms of UC-associated cancer.
EXPRESSION OF CONCERN: Pre‐symptomatic detection of prions by cyclic amplification of protein misfolding (2004)

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are neurodegenerative disorders affecting humans and animals. At present, it is not possible to recognize individuals incubating the disease before the clinical symptoms appear. We investigated the effectiveness of the "Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification" (PMCA) technology to detect the protease-resistance disease-associated prion protein (PrP(res)) in pre-symptomatic stages. PMCA allowed detection of PrP(res) in the brain of pre-symptomatic hamsters, enabling a clear identification of infected animals as early as two weeks after inoculation. Furthermore, PMCA was able to amplify minute quantities of PrP(res) from a variety of experimental and natural TSEs. Finally, PMCA allowed the demonstration of PrP(res) in an experimentally infected cow 32 month post-inoculation, that did not show clinical signs and was negative by standard Western blot analysis. Our findings indicate that PMCA may be useful for the development of an ultra-sensitive diagnostic test to minimize the risk of further propagation of TSEs.
Beamforming algorithms for information relaying in dense wireless networks (2006)

In this dissertation we develop a class of bandwidth-efficient algorithms for information relaying in large-scale wireless ad-hoc networks. The settings we consider involve a single source communicating its data to a destination via the aid of low-power low-cost relay nodes. In its simplest two-hop relaying form, data directly broadcasted to the relays from the source are directly relayed to the destination through a shared fading channel. We assume that the relays employ decode-and-forward or amplify-and-forward preprocessing prior to forwarding their data to the destination via beamforming. The beamforming weights are formed at the destination and fedback to the relays via broadcasting. They are constructed using knowledge of the relay-destination channel coefficients and an m-bit description of each source-relay channel state information (CSI). 
For both relay data preprocessing models, we present methods for optimizing the m-bit quantizer employed at each relay for encoding its source-relay channel quality level, and for choosing the beamforming weights at the destination, so as optimize the destination uncoded bit error rates (Pr(e)). We also study the effect of the relative source-relay relay-destination distances on the Pr(e) for both relay preprocessing models. We use our findings to develop locally-optimized adaptive data-preprocessing algorithms at the relays. We also develop extensions involving multi-hop networks with hierarchal cluster-based relaying. At each hop of these relay networks, each of the receiving relays obtains a beamformed version of the data of a distinct subset of the transmitting relays. As our simulations and analysis reveal, making available at each cluster head (CH) an optimized one-bit description of the effective source-relay CSIs associated with the transmitting relays in its cluster is sufficient. Specifically, not making fully available to the CHs, the source-relay CSIs, results in only a minimal loss in the Pr( e).
<title>Automatic Fingerprint Identification</title> (1979)

The present system for identifying latent fingerprints left at the scene of a crime still depends on the skill and patience of trained fingerprint technicians because of the low quality of the latent fingerprints. An image processing & feature extraction technique has been established in order to detect minutiae (ridge endings and ridge bifurcations and ridge counts useful for latent fingerprint identification. The algorithm of the latent fingerprint identification using these features has been evaluated. Each feature is detected from the gray scale image of fingerprints and described by minutiae positions, minutiae directions and interminutia ridge counts. In the latent fingerprint identification, minutiae pairs are selected according to the similarity between latent fingerprints' features and registered fingerprints' features in a file. The similarity between two fingerprints is obtained through the comparison of selected minutiae pairs. In our experiments, we attempted the feature extraction of 500 registered fingerprints and 200 latent fingerprints, and the matching between them. The experiments were carried out using a high speed microcomputer, a flying spot scanner, a color display, and a tablet unit, which con-nected with a general purpose computer system (NEAC 2200/200).
Hybrid vehicle characterisation (2004)

This chapter describes how passenger vehicles are characterised first as to drag and rolling resistance coefficients and second according to fuel economy over standard drive cycles. Vehicle data necessary to compute rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag coefficients are taken from coast down tests. This procedure is further described in Chapter 11 along with some actual test data about how this applies to characterising the hybrid propulsion system. In this chapter the various standard drive cycles employed in various geographical and demographic areas are compared and rationale given for their selection.
Conceptual Level Design of Object Oriented Data Warehouse: Graph Semantic Based Model (2009)

Abstract. This paper proposes a Graph semantic based Object Oriented Multidimensional Data Model (GOOMD). The model defines a set of graph based formal constructs that are used to specify the conceptual level design of data warehouses (DW). Besides offering a novel graph based semantic for multidimensional data representation, the proposed GOOMD model renders a unified realization of different logical structures of DW like star, snowflake, constellation, etc. The proposed simple but powerful algebra for GOOMD provides an efficient operational model for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) to realize different OLAP operations like roll-up, drill-down, slicing, dicing, drill-across and drill-through. The proposed GOOMD model also supports a formal representation of advanced concepts like parallel hierarchies, many-to-many associations, additivity constraints etc.
Measuring the machine intelligence quotient (MIQ) of human-machine cooperative systems (2001)

We present a practical and systematic strategy for measuring machine intelligence quotient (MIQ) of human-machine cooperative systems. So far, much research related to intelligent control has been established, but the issues about definition and measurement of machine intelligence are not yet clearly formulated. We propose the intelligence task graph (ITG) as a modeling and analysis tool. By using the ITG, the machine contribution of human-machine cooperative systems can be explicitly separated from the human contribution and directly formulated by equations. Thus, the ITG is a very useful modeling tool for estimating the MIQ that was introduced as the index of machine intelligence. We propose a new human-oriented method for estimating the MIQ. This research will help engineers assess intelligent machines that are designed to perform human-like qualities with a high degree of autonomy.
Preparation and properties of liposome-associated gentamicin (1980)

Gentamicin was successfully incorporated into neutral, anionic, and cationic liposomes, and the percentage of gentamicin incorporated was found to be a function of lipid concentration. Gentamicin did not leak out of the liposomes over a 3-week period at 4 degrees C. When liposome-associated gentamicin was administered intravenously to rabbits, its serum half-life was greatly prolonged. Intragastric administration of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes containing gentamicin resulted in the appearance of gentamicin in serum. Liposome-associated gentamicin, when administered intravenously, led to the appearance of gentamicin in the liver and spleen, which was not observed when rabbits were injected with free gentamicin.
Growth of Iron‐Doped Epitaxial Layers for GaAs Field Effect Transistors (1977)

Iron‐doped epitaxial layers were grown using the vapor phase system and with a new doping method. The characteristics of the iron‐doped layer were investigated, and the layer was used as the buffer layer of the epitaxial layer for FET. It was found that the iron concentration in the epitaxial layer was proportional to the vapor pressure of the iron‐doping gas. The layer with a resistivity higher than 104 Ω‐cm could be prepared without increasing the crystal defects and impurities except iron. It was observed that the electrical characteristics of the submicron active layer on the chromium‐doped substrate were improved by the insertion of the iron‐doped buffer layer between the active layer and the substrate. It was found that the performance of FET's fabricated of the epitaxial layer was the iron‐doped buffer layer was higher than the performance of those without the buffer layer.
Role of Apoptosis in the Response of Lung Carcinomas to Anti‐Cancer Treatment (2000)

Resistance of tumor cells to treatment often accounts for the failure of traditional forms of anti-cancer therapy. It is well known that tumors from the same histological group and stage of development are highly heterogeneous in their sensitivity to therapy. Among the factors that can influence tumor sensitivity are DNA repair capacity, distribution of cells throughout the cell cycle, proliferation potential, etc. In many cases, anti-cancer therapy eliminates tumor cells via apoptosis, an active form of cell death characterized by cell shrinkage and the removal of cells in a neat, orderly fashion. However, this process is not always efficient. In the present review, the precise role that apoptosis plays in the response of lung carcinomas to chemotherapy and radiation treatment is discussed.
Vitreoretinal Relationship in Diabetic Retinopathy (1981)

The vitreoretinal relationships of 312 eyes with diabetic retinopathy were analyzed statistically, based on the results of biomicroscopic observation and photography of the vitreous. Vitreous detachment usually occurs outside the temporal vascular arcades, and the macula subsequently becomes involved in the midstage of the proliferative process. The incidence of no vitreous detachment and complete vitreous detachment are significantly lower in proliferative retinopathy as compared with nonproliferative than in nonproliferative retinopathy. The relatively high incidence of proliferation with no vitreous detachment indicates that vitreous detachment is not the sole triggering factor in the development of proliferative changes. However, partial vitreous detachment was shown, retrospectively, to stimulate a rapid exacerbation of the proliferative process as compared with eyes having no vitreous detachment or complete vitreous detachment.
