Red, green, and blue upconversion luminescence of trivalent-rare-earth ion-doped Y2O3 nanocrystals (2002)

Trivalent-rare-earth ion-doped Y2O3 nanocrystals have been synthesized, and their photoluminescence properties have been studied under 980 nm laser diode excitation. The crystallite size estimated by x-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy was about 30–40 nm. In Yb3+ and Tm3+ codoped Y2O3 nanocrystals, the bright blue emissions near 450 and 480 nm have been noticeable due to the 1D2–3F4 and 1G4–3H6 transitions of Tm3+, respectively. The bright green emissions of Er3+ doped Y2O3 nanocrystals appeared near 530 and 550 nm were assigned to the 2H11/2–4I15/2 and 4S3/2–4I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively. The ratio of the intensity of green luminescence to that of red luminescence has decreased with an increase of concentration of Yb3+ in Er3+ doped Y2O3 nanocrystals. In sufficient quantities of Yb3+ to Er3+, the bright red emission near 660 nm has been predominant due to the 4F9/2–4I15/2 transition of Er3+. The primary color components are in these red, green, and blue emissions, from which a wide spectrum of colors, including white, would be produced by appropriate mixing them.
Incorporating the effect of fractionation in the evaluation of proton plan robustness to setup errors (2015)

To ensure the safe delivery of proton therapy treatments it is important to evaluate the effect of potential uncertainties, such as patient mispositioning, on the intended dose distribution. However, it can be expected that the uncertainty resulting from patient positioning is reduced in a fractionated treatment due to the convergence of random variables with the delivery of repeated treatments. This is neglected by current approaches to robustness analysis resulting in an overly conservative assessment of the robustness which can lead to sub-optimal plans. Here, a fast method of accounting for this reduced uncertainty is presented. An estimated bound to the error in the dose distribution resulting from setup uncertainty over a specified number of fractions is calculated by considering the distribution of values for each voxel across 14 initial error scenarios. The bound on the error in a given voxel is estimated using a 99.9% confidence limit assuming a convergence towards a normal distribution in line with the central limit theorem, and a correction of [Formula: see text] accounting for the reduction in the standard deviation over n fractions. The proposed method was validated in 5 patients by comparison to Monte Carlo simulations of 300 treatment courses. A voxelwise and volumetric analysis of the estimated and simulated bounds to the uncertainty in the dose distribution demonstrate that the proposed technique can be used to assess proton plan robustness more accurately allowing for less conservative treatment plans.
Development of Digital's PCI Chip Sets and Evaluation Kit for the DECchip 21064 Microprocessor (1994)

The DECchip 21071 and the DECchip 21072 chip sets were designed to provide simple, competitive devices for building cost-focused or high-performance PCI-based sys- tems using the DECchip 21064 family of Alpha AXP microprocessors. The chip sets include data slices, a bridge between the DECchip 21064 microprocessor and the PCI local bus, and a secondary cache and memory controller. The EB64+ evaluation kit, a companion product, contains an example PC mother board that was built using the DECchip 21064 microprocessor, the DECchip 21072 chip set, and other off-the-shelf PC components. The EB64+ kit provides hooks for system designers to evaluate cost/performance trade-offs. Either chip set, used with the EB64+ evalu- ation kit, enables system designers to develop Alpha AXP PCs with minimal design and engineering effort.
Click and share: A face recognition tool for the mobile community (2014)

In this paper, we describe an Android based application for mobile devices that allows users to quickly and easily identify faces in pictures, recognizing persons, and, thus, sharing pictures with them. Each identified person matches against a contact registered in the phone directory, and, if no match is found, the detected face can be used for the creation of a new contact. We discuss how face recognition in a mobile setting increases the efficiency of the users while sharing content created with the mobile device, automatically suggesting the people identified in a photo or a video. We show the effectiveness of the approach through a user test on a photo sharing task, showing that it reduces the need for tedious, in particular on mobile devices, user input (e.g., compared to Facebook). By this means, we envision an increase of the quality of the user experience when interacting with the components of her social network.
Serum- and calcium-induced differentiation of human keratinocytes is inhibited by the E6 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus type 16 (1996)

Transfection of the E6 and E7 genes of the high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) into primary genital keratinocytes generates colonies of proliferating cells which are resistant to calcium- and serum-induced terminal differentiation. To genetically map the HPV gene(s) responsible for this cellular phenotype, we cloned cDNAs for full-length E6, full-length E7, four truncated E6 splice variants (E6I to E6IV), and a series of E6 C-terminal truncation mutants into a simian virus 40 expression vector. The E6 proteins were tagged with the AU1 epitope at the C terminus to verify their expression in COS cells by immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence. Transfection of the full-length E6 protein, either wild type or epitope tagged, induced calcium- and serum-resistant keratinocyte colonies, but the truncated E6 variants and full-length E7 protein did not. E6-induced colonies, while altered in response to serum and calcium, could not be established into cell lines without the combined presence of the E7 protein, further exemplifying the independent roles of E6 and E7 in cell differentiation and cell proliferation. The E6 C-terminal deletion mutants defined two distinct functional domains between amino acids 120 and 151. Amino acids 120 to 151 contained an apparent bipartite nuclear localization signal, whereas amino acids 132 to 141 were required for the induction of resistance to calcium- and serum-induced differentiation and for immortalization of human keratinocytes in conjunction with E7.
Multi-Task Learning with Low Rank Attribute Embedding for Person Re-Identification (2015)

We propose a novel Multi-Task Learning with Low Rank Attribute Embedding (MTL-LORAE) framework for person re-identification. Re-identifications from multiple cameras are regarded as related tasks to exploit shared information to improve re-identification accuracy. Both low level features and semantic/data-driven attributes are utilized. Since attributes are generally correlated, we introduce a low rank attribute embedding into the MTL formulation to embed original binary attributes to a continuous attribute space, where incorrect and incomplete attributes are rectified and recovered to better describe people. The learning objective function consists of a quadratic loss regarding class labels and an attribute embedding error, which is solved by an alternating optimization procedure. Experiments on three person re-identification datasets have demonstrated that MTL-LORAE outperforms existing approaches by a large margin and produces state-of-the-art results.
Small-Angle Scattering from Polymeric Mass Fractals of Arbitrary Mass-Fractal Dimension (1996)

The Debye equation for polymer coils describes scattering from a polymer chain that displays Gaussian statistics. Such a chain is a mass fractal of dimension 2 as evidenced by a power-law decay of −2 in the scattering at intermediate q. At low q, near q ≃ 2π/Rg, the Debye equation describes an exponential decay. For polymer chains that are swollen or slightly collapsed, such as is due to good and poor solvent conditions, deviations from a mass-fractal dimension of 2 are expected. A simple description of scattering from such systems is not possible using the approach of Debye. Integral descriptions have been derived. In this paper, asymptotic expansions of these integral forms are used to describe scattering in the power-law regime. These approximations are used to constrain a unified equation for small-angle scattering. A function suitable for data fitting is obtained that describes polymeric mass fractals of arbitrary mass-fractal dimension. Moreover, this approach is extended to describe structural limits to mass-fractal scaling at the persistence length. The unified equation can be substituted for the Debye equation in the RPA (random phase approximation) description of polymer blends when the mass-fractal dimension of a polymer coil deviates from 2. It is also used to gain new insight into materials not conventionally thought of as polymers, such as nanoporous silica aerogels.
Ordered nanoporous membranes based on diblock copolymers with high chemical stability and tunable separation properties (2010)

Block copolymers, having the ability to self-assemble into arrays of well-defined nanostructures, can be turned into thin films. Their application as membrane was so far strongly limited by the fact that these thin films have to be transferred manually onto a porous membrane support, or because of the very strict preparation conditions. A simple method is reported here to directly produce ordered nanoporous membranes on porous supports. Well-ordered membrane structures were prepared via a simple strategy exploiting blending of a block copolymer (PS-b-PEO) with a homopolymer (PAA), involving no thermal or solvent treatment. The membranes could be directly introduced on several types of porous membrane supports via straightforward spin or dip coating of very small amounts of polymer. Moreover, the permeability of the membranes could be readily tuned by removal of the PAA without changing membrane morphology. While already inherently stable in e.g. sodium hypochlorite solutions, the chemical stability of the membranes could be further enhanced via simple UV-radiation, clearly widening their potential application field.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MARANGONI-BENARD CONVECTION IN A LIQUID LAYER INDUCED BY EVAPORATION (1998)

Marangoni-Bénard instability and convection in evaporating liquid layers have been studied experimentally through flow visualization and temperature profile measurement. Bénard cells have been observed in an evaporating thin liquid layer whether it is heated, adiabatic, or cooled from below. This experimental study has revealed a different mechanism from the traditional Rayleigh-Bénard and Marangoni-Bénard instabilities and convections, which require a negative temperature gradient in the thin liquid layer. Evaporation rate and enthalpy of evaporation have been found to be important parameters of instability and convection in an evaporating liquid layer. A modified form of Marangoni number, Ma*, is proposed and its critical values, Ma* c, for alcohol and Freon-113 evaporating layers are determined experimentally. A quantitative comparison between Ma* and the traditional Marangoni number, Ma, shows that Ma* is an adequate indicator of the stability status in evaporating liquid layers.
Risk and UCON-based access control model for healthcare big data (2023)

Abstract The rapid development of healthcare big data has brought certain convenience to medical research and health management, but privacy protection of healthcare big data is an issue that must be considered in the process of data application. Access control is one of the methods for privacy protection, but traditional access control models cannot adapt to the dynamic, continuous, and real-time characteristics of healthcare big data scenarios. In this paper, we propose an access control model based on risk quantification and usage control (RQ-UCON). The model adds a risk quantification module to the traditional UCON model to achieve privacy protection of medical data. This module classifies risks into direct and indirect risks and quantifies them based on the physician's visit history. The model stores the quantified risk values as subject attributes. The RQ-UCON model uses an improved Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and penalty factors to predict risk value and to update the risk values of the subject attributes in real-time. The RQ-UCON model uses agglomerative hierarchical clustering to cluster the risk values of physicians within the department, resulting in risk intervals for each physician's operational behavior. Each risk interval is stored as a condition in the RQ-UCON model. Finally, according to the model whether the subject attributes meet the model conditions to determine whether the subject has the corresponding access rights, and according to the risk interval to grant the subject the corresponding access rights. Through the final experiment, it can be seen that the access control model proposed in this paper has a certain control on the excessive access behavior of doctors and has a certain limitation on the privacy leakage of healthcare big data.
Augmentation of porcine spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity in vitro. (1985)

Porcine spontaneous cell-mediated cytotoxicity (SCC) was recognized in spleen and peripheral blood lymphocytes, and the cytotoxicity of spleen mononuclear lymphocytes were higher than that of peripheral blood mononuclear cells against K-562 human myeloid cell. Scc was augmented spontaneously when incubated lymphocytes at 37°C with 10% fetal calf serum containing medium or serum free media, however, their augmentation of SCC was reduced by autologous and homologous serum. The maximum augmentation of SCC by incubation was achieved at 40 hr, the kinetics was correlated with the DNA synthesis of whole mononuclear lymphocytes. When adherent cells (ADC) were removed from whole peripheral mononuclear cells (WPBL) or whole spleen mononuclear lymphocytes (WSL), SCC was not augmented by incubation at 37°C. Addition of cultured fluid from WPBL or WSL on non-adherent lymhocyte (NAC) culture, augmentation of SCC by incubation was also recognized. IL-1 and IL-2 like activity was detected in these cultured fluids from WPBL and WSL. Porcine SCC was also boosted in vitro by incubation with IFN-γ inducer OK-432. This augmentation was not dependent on ADC. These results suggested that spontaneous augmentation of porcine SCC is dependent on the formation of IL-1 by ADC and IL-2 by NAC. Also IFN-γ may play an important role of SCC augmentation in vitro.
Getting deep recommenders fit: Bloom embeddings for sparse binary input/output networks (2017)

Recommendation algorithms that incorporate techniques from deep learning are becoming increasingly popular. Due to the structure of the data coming from recommendation domains (i.e., one-hot-encoded vectors of item preferences), these algorithms tend to have large input and output dimensionalities that dominate their overall size. This makes them difficult to train, due to the limited memory of graphical processing units, and difficult to deploy on mobile devices with limited hardware. To address these difficulties, we propose Bloom embeddings, a compression technique that can be applied to the input and output of neural network models dealing with sparse high-dimensional binary-coded instances. Bloom embeddings are computationally efficient, and do not seriously compromise the accuracy of the model up to 1/5 compression ratios. In some cases, they even improve over the original accuracy, with relative increases up to 12%. We evaluate Bloom embeddings on 7 data sets and compare it against 4 alternative methods, obtaining favorable results. We also discuss a number of further advantages of Bloom embeddings, such as 'on-the-fly' constant-time operation, zero or marginal space requirements, training time speedups, or the fact that they do not require any change to the core model architecture or training configuration.
MUSDB18 - a corpus for music separation (2017)

The sigsep musdb18 data set consists of a total of 150 full-track songs of different styles and includes both the stereo mixtures and the original sources, divided between a training subset and a test subset. Its purpose is to serve as a reference database for the design and the evaluation of source separation algorithms. The objective of such signal processing methods is to estimate one or more sources from a set of mixtures, e.g. for karaoke applications. It has been used as the official dataset in the professionally-produced music recordings task for SiSEC 2018, which is the international campaign for the evaluation of source separation algorithms. <em>musdb18</em> contains two folders, a folder with a training set: “train”, composed of 100 songs, and a folder with a test set: “test”, composed of 50 songs. Supervised approaches should be trained on the training set and tested on both sets. All files from the <em>musdb18</em> dataset are encoded in the Native Instruments stems format (.mp4). It is a multitrack format composed of 5 stereo streams, each one encoded in AAC @256kbps. These signals correspond to: 0 - The mixture, 1 - The drums, 2 - The bass, 3 - The rest of the accompaniment, 4 - The vocals. For each file, the mixture correspond to the sum of all the signals. All signals are stereophonic and encoded at 44.1kHz. As the <em>MUSDB18</em> is encoded as STEMS, it relies on ffmpeg to read the multi-stream files. We provide a python wrapper called stempeg that allows to easily parse the dataset and decode the stem tracks on-the-fly. <strong>License</strong> MUSDB18 is provided for educational purposes only and the material contained in them should not be used for any commercial purpose without the express permission of the copyright holders: 100 tracks were derived from The ‘Mixing Secrets’ Free Multitrack Download Library.

A new method for measurement of three dimensional residual stresses in a multi‐pass butt welded joint (1992)

In this paper, a new method for the measurement of three dimensional residual stresses in a multi‐pass butt welded joint is presented. The method involves the measurement of strain changes at a through hole surface as a coupon of material with the hole is separated from the body of interest and split. The finite element calculations are used to relate the strain changes at the measurenent points to the initial residual stresses at the hole location. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated by using it to measure a known stress field in a bent beam. The method has been used to measure the through thickness distribution of three dimensional residual stresses in a multi‐pass butt welded joint. It could also be applied to the measurement of residual stresses in other welded joints.
Chemical Sensors Based on Highly Conductive Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) Nanorods (2005)

PEDOT nanorods have been fabricated using reverse cylindrical micelle-mediated interfacial polymerization without any templates and applied as chemical sensors for the detection of HCl and NH3 vapor. The PEDOT nanorods, shown in the Figure, display very stable conductivity. The chemical sensors can detect low vapor concentrations and exhibit a reversible and reproducible response.
Arterial delivery of myoblasts to skeletal muscle (1992)

One of the major limitations of myoblast implantation as a therapy for muscular disease is that multiple injections by intramuscular implantation may be required for widespread delivery of cells. Also, some sites (eg, the diaphragm) are relatively inaccessible to injection. As an alternative, we have undertaken intra-arterial administration of myoblasts. For these experiments, we used donor cell myoblasts from the immortal L6 cell line labeled with lacZ via the beta-gal-at-gal retrovirus. In our model, target rat skeletal muscle (tibialis anterior [TA]) was injured using 0.5 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 15 IU of hyaluronidase; saline was injected into the contralateral side as a control. We infused 3 x 10(6) lacZ-positive cells into the abdominal aorta of previously injured, immunosuppressed (cyclosporine A) rats. At 7, 14, and 28 days, TA, liver, heart, lung, and spleen were examined for lacZ staining. In both the injured and control muscles, a few differentiated, lacZ-positive muscle cells were present, both singly and in groups, at each time point. These studies demonstrate that genetically labeled, transformed myoblasts may migrate from the arterial circulation to muscle and fuse there to form differentiated muscle cells. It is conceivable that intra-arterial delivery of myoblasts may have a role in the therapy of selected diseases of skeletal muscle.
5-Lipoxygenase inhibitors: the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinones (1991)

A series of analogues of the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (phenidone, 1a) has been prepared via two complementary new synthetic methods. The reaction of various electrophiles with the dianion of 1a or with an N-silylpyrazolidinone anion gave the desired 4-substituted pyrazolidinones (Scheme I and II). A new procedure was developed for the resolution of 4-substituted pyrazolidinones (Scheme V). A regression study on 21 compounds in this series showed a correlation of increased inhibitor potency (pIC50) with increased compound lipophilicity (log P) and with an N-phenyl electronic effect as measured by the 13C NMR chemical shift parameter CNMR1' (R2 = 0.79). The most potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor in this series was 4-(ethylthio)-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (1n) with an IC50 of 60 nM. Another member of this series, 4-(2-methoxyethyl)-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (1f, IC50 = 0.48 microM), although less potent than 1n, was better tolerated in the whole animal relative to phenidone (1a) and also displayed good oral activity in two models of 5-lipoxygenase inhibition. On the basis of a structure-activity relationship study, a mechanism for the inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase by this class of inhibitors was proposed.
Analytical formulas for coplanar lines in hybrid and monolithic MICs (1984)

Some analytical formulas for the parameters of coplanar lines are discussed and validated; a chart is given for the design of coplanar waveguides on GaAs. The formulas discussed here, together with those presented previously by us (1983) represent a suitable set for the design of coplanar lines for hybrid and monolithic MICs (microwave integrated circuits).
