Title Modulation and Equalization Criteria for 2-11 GHz Fixed Broadband Wireless Systems Date Submitted 2000-08-24 (2000)

We give a brief survey of anti-multipath techniques and associated modulation (OFDM and single-carrier) formats, which are pertinent for 802.16.3 fixed broadband wireless systems. Careful modeling and evaluation of power amplifier nonlinearities and frequency offsets is important for evaluation of proposed PHY modulation formats. Because of the sensitivity of OFDM systems to these impairments, Single-carrier modulation schemes with reduced- complexity adaptive equalization strategies merit serious consideration. Purpose Among the key characteristics of any 802.16.3 air interface standard are modulation and equalization. This document provides guidance and background on these topics for the evaluation of 802.16.3 PHY proposals. Notice This document has been prepared to assist IEEE 802.16.

Study the Difference between Translation and Transformation (2019)

본 연구는 영화 <버닝>과 그 원작으로 일컬어지는 두 작품의 비교·대조를 통해 매체 번역 과정을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이 영화는 원작에서 이양한 최소한의 틀 위에 각색자의 예술론을 변증법적으로 결합시켜 전혀 새로운 하나의 양식으로 체화했다는 특징을 갖는 기존의 각색작품과는 차별성을 갖는 작품이다. 하여, 각색된 영화와 원작소설 간에 드러나는 서로 다른 부분을 살펴보고, 나아가 드러나지 않는, 그러나 영화에서 드러내고자 했던 목소리는 무엇인지 찾아가 보고자 하였다. 두 원작 하루키와 포크너의 동명의 소설 < Barn Burning >을 영화와 비교 연구하고, 하루 키의 전작들과 이창동의 전작들을 살펴보는 과정을 통해, 하루키와 이창동의 작품 세계에 동시적으로 흐르는 공통의 예술관을 추출하게 되었다. 결론적으로, 이 작품은 ‘동시존재’의 관념을 따르고 있다고 이야기할 수 있겠다. 이 개념은 하루키의 작품 전편에 흐르는 그의 지배적인 세계관이자 동시에, 이는 이창동의 전작들(‘박하사탕(1999)’, ‘오아시스(2002)’)에서도 사뭇 공통되는 사고관을 읽을 수 있었다. ‘동시존재’는 현실vs비현실, 실재vs부재의 경계가 모호해짐을 말한다. 이것은 일면 질 들뢰즈가 이야기한 현실/비현실의 크리스탈-이미지(image-cristal)와의 맞물림이 보인다. ‘크리스탈-이미지’는 베르그송의 철학을 프루스트의 영화를 해석하는 과정을 통하여 제시된 개념인데, 시간의 변화를 ‘인과’ 관계로 설명하는 우리의 시각을 깨뜨리는 논리이다. ‘과거⇒현재’의 당위성을 깨뜨리고 ‘과거=현재’ 혹은 ‘과거=현재’의 공식에 접근해보기를 제안하는 그의 시각은 상당 부분 하루키가 말하는 ‘동시 존재’의 세계관과 닿아있지 않나 생각된다.
Biosynthesis and Metabolism of Brassinosteroids (2003)

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroid hormones that regulate the growth and development of plants. Detailed study of the biosynthesis of brassinolide, a C28 BR, revealed that two parallel routes, the early and late C-6 oxidation pathways, are connected at multiple steps and also are linked to the early C-22 oxidation pathway. Thus, BR biosynthetic pathways are highly networked. Furthermore, the biosynthesis of C27 BRs was shown to proceed in a similar way to that of C28 BRs. Information on enzymes and genes involved in the BR biosynthesis, as well as their regulation, has been obtained using BR-deficient and BR-insensitive mutants. In addition, the biosynthesis of sterols, which were recently recognized not only as precursors of BRs and membrane constituents, but also as modulators of plant development, is discussed. Various metabolic reactions of BRs including epimerization, oxidation, and conjugation are also summarized.
Sestrin2 inhibits mTORC1 through modulation of GATOR complexes (2015)

Sestrins are stress-inducible metabolic regulators that suppress a wide range of age- and obesity-associated pathologies, many of which are due to mTORC1 overactivation. Upon various stresses, the Sestrins inhibit mTORC1 activity through an indirect mechanism that is still unclear. GATORs are recently identified protein complexes that regulate the activity of RagB, a small GTPase essential for mTORC1 activation. GATOR1 is a GTPase activating protein (GAP) for RagB whereas GATOR2 functions as an inhibitor of GATOR1. However, how the GATORs are physiologically regulated is unknown. Here we show that Sestrin2 binds to GATOR2, and liberates GATOR1 from GATOR2-mediated inhibition. Released GATOR1 subsequently binds to and inactivates RagB, ultimately resulting in mTORC1 suppression. Consistent with this biochemical mechanism, genetic ablation of GATOR1 nullifies the mTORC1-inhibiting effect of Sestrin2 in both cell culture and Drosophila models. Collectively, we elucidate a new signaling cascade composed of Sestrin2-GATOR2-GATOR1-RagB that mediates stress-dependent suppression of mTORC1 activity.
Using a 3D Puzzle as a Metaphor for Learning Spatial Relations (2000)

We introduce a new metaphor for learning spatial relations-the 3D puzzle. With this metaphor users learn spatial relations by assembling a geometric model themselves. For this purpose, a 3D model of the subject at hand is enriched with docking positions which allow objects to be connected. Since complex 3D interactions are required to compose 3D objects, sophisticated 3D visualization and interaction techniques are included. Among these techniques are specialized shadow generation, snapping mechanisms, collision detection and the use of two-handed interaction. The 3D puzzle, similar to a computer game, can be operated at different levels of difficulty. To simplify the task, a subset of the geometry, e.g., the skeleton of an anatomic model, can be given initially. Moreover, textual information concerning the parts of the model is provided to support the user. With this approach we motivate students to explore the spatial relations in complex geometric models and at the same time give them a goal to achieve while learning takes place. A prototype of a 3D puzzle, which is designed principally for use in anatomy education, is presented.
Measuring Coverage Performances of a Floor Cleaning Mobile Robot Using a Vision System (2006)

This work introduces a method and apparatus for measuring real mobile robot cleaning performances based on a dedicated vision system. The measurement method can be applied to any kind of floor cleaning mobile robot but in this work it has been applied to a proprietary design. The paper presents the analysis of the first results obtained and ends with the main conclusions.
A distinct segment of the sigma 32 polypeptide is involved in DnaK-mediated negative control of the heat shock response in Escherichia coli. (1994)

Induction of heat shock proteins in Escherichia coli is caused by a transient increase in the cellular level of sigma 32 (the rpoH gene product), a protein required for transcription of heat shock genes. Both increased synthesis and stabilization of sigma 32 contribute to the increase in sigma 32. We previously showed that heat-induced translation of sigma 32-beta-galactosidase fusion protein encoded by an rpoH-lacZ gene fusion was mediated by an mRNA secondary structure formed between two 5'-proximal segments (A and B) of rpoH coding sequence spanning some 200 nt. We now report that a portion of the sigma 32 polypeptide that corresponds to further downstream (designated region C) is involved in the DnaK-mediated negative control resulting in the shutoff of heat-induced synthesis and degradation of fusion protein. Gene fusions carrying the 5' half (433 nt) or more of the rpoH coding sequence exhibited normal shutoff of synthesis, and the fusion proteins produced were very unstable, like authentic sigma 32; both the shutoff of synthesis and the instability of protein were markedly affected by the dnaK and dnaJ mutations. In contrast, gene fusions carrying < or = 364 nt (lacking region C) and a fusion carrying most of the rpoH sequence but with a frameshift mutation specifically affecting region C exhibited little or no shutoff and produced stable proteins. These results indicate that a distinct segment of sigma 32 plays a critical role in the negative feedback control of sigma 32. The control may be exerted during or after completion of sigma 32 synthesis mediated by interaction between nascent or mature sigma 32 and DnaK/DnaJ proteins.
Reading performance of monofocal pseudophakic patients with and without glasses under normal and dim light conditions (2014)

Purpose To evaluate reading performance of patients with monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) (Acrysof SN60WF) with or without reading glasses under bright and dim light conditions. Setting Austrian Academy of Ophthalmology, Vienna, Austria. Design Evaluation of a diagnostic test or technology. Methods In pseudophakic patients, the spherical refractive error was limited to between +0.50 diopter (D) and −0.75 D with astigmatism of 0.75 D (mean spherical equivalent: right eye, −0.08 ± 0.43 [SD]; left eye, −0.15 ± 0.35). Near addition was +2.75 D. Reading performance was assessed binocularly with or without reading glasses at an illumination of 100 candelas (cd)/m2 and 4 cd/m2 using the Radner Reading Charts. Results In the 25 patients evaluated, binocularly, the mean corrected distance visual acuity was −0.07 ± 0.06 logMAR and the mean uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.01 ± 0.11 logMAR. The mean reading acuity with reading glasses was 0.02 ± 0.10 logRAD at 100 cd/m2 and 0.12 ± 0.14 logRAD at 4 cd/m2. Without reading glasses, it was 0.44 ± 0.13 logRAD and 0.56 ± 0.16 logRAD, respectively (P < .05). Without reading glasses and at 100 cd/m2, 40% of patients read 0.4 logRAD at more than 80 words per minute (wpm), 68% exceeded this limit at 0.5 logRAD, and 92% exceeded it at 0.6 logRAD. The mean reading speed at 0.5 logRAD was 134.76 ± 48.22 wpm; with reading glasses it was 167.65 ± 32.77 wpm (P < .05). Conclusion A considerable percentage of patients with monofocal IOLs read newspaper print size without glasses under good light conditions. Financial Disclosure Dr. W. Radner receives royalties for the Radner Reading Charts. No other author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.
Use of photodynamic therapy for the management of pleural malignancies (1995)

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a surface oriented, locally cytotoxic intervention being investigated for oncologic therapy. Surfaces such as the pleura or the peritoneum are frequently involved with primary or metastatic cancer, and the chance for cure in such situations is low due to the inability to eradicate all the disease. A series of investigations have been performed at the National Cancer Institute since 1985 studying the possible use of PDT for large cavity treatment. This report details evolution of the methodology, toxicity, and overall feasibility of the delivery of intrapleural PDT to patients after debulking of primary and malignant chest neoplasms, with an emphasis on malignant pleural mesothelioma. These investigations have culminated in an ongoing Phase III trial to define the efficacy of intrapleural PDT.

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Women (2016)

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in American women. Since 1984, the annual cardiovascular disease mortality rate has remained greater for women than men; however, over the last decade, there have been marked reductions in cardiovascular disease mortality in women. The dramatic decline in mortality rates for women is attributed partly to an increase in awareness, a greater focus on women and cardiovascular disease risk, and the increased application of evidence-based treatments for established coronary heart disease. This is the first scientific statement from the American Heart Association on acute myocardial infarction in women. Sex-specific differences exist in the presentation, pathophysiological mechanisms, and outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This statement provides a comprehensive review of the current evidence of the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, treatment, and outcomes of women with acute myocardial infarction.
Objective Evaluation of Peroneal Response to Sudden Inversion Stress (1985)

The purposes of this paper are to describe an objective technique developed to assess the dynamic response of the peroneal muscles to a sudden inversion motion and to report the results obtained from testing injured and noninjured ankles. A platform was constructed to drop the ankle into a controlled degree of inversion while measuring the time to peroneal response and the angular rotation. Thirty volunteers were tested, 15 of whom had experienced a unilateral ankle sprain 3- 10 months prior to testing. Results show a trend toward delayed peroneal response and greater angular displacement at the time of peroneal response in injured ankles but analysis of variance showed no significant difference. The total angular displacement in the injured ankles was significantly greater. This objective technique could be used to evaluate treatment regimens and, by testing ankles soon after injury and serially, to evaluate readiness to return to activity.

Breast disease: a primer on diagnosis and management. (1998)

Currently, mammography is the only method of detecting nonpalpable, early breast cancer. At this stage, 90% of the cancers are curable. Clearly, this fundamental tenet accentuates the importance of compliance and knowledge of guidelines. Although risks of mammography are minimal to nil, interpretation occasionally can be challenging, with equivocal results. New technologies are being evaluated and advances in measurement of cellular electrical potential differentials in breast tissue have produced exciting results, when compared with mammography and ultrasound. These screening efforts have increased the diagnosis of both invasive and noninvasive ductal and lobular carcinoma of the breast. For DCIS in particular, conservative, contemporary treatment options exist. These include lumpectomy with breast irradiation excluding axillary dissection. Selected patients may be treated with only lumpectomy. Although breast carcinoma is a major focus due to incidence, morbidity and mortality, the varieties of benign conditions cause many women genuine concern. Treatment options for fibrocystic change run a gamut, including cost-effective basic dietary changes, vitamin use, "health"/natural type treatments, analgesic, as well as hormonal manipulations and, on occasion, surgical intervention. Fortunately, with most patients, common sense and conservatism prevail. The presence of fibroadenomas diagnosed clinically, by ultrasound or mammography, in women aged 18-25 and beyond can create perplexing diagnostic dilemmas. Should the lesion be removed or observed? Differences of opinion exist and must be tempered by recent observations that women with complex fibroadenomas, sclerosing adenosis, epithelial calcification or papillary appocrine changes have a two- to threefold increased risk of breast cancer. The key to management in all these clinical situations is individualization. Conservatism is particularly acceptable in women under the age of 25 if a fibroadenoma is not increasing in size or not psychologically disturbing. Provoked or unprovoked nipple discharge is a clinical conundrum for patients. It is unsuspected and unwanted. While some whitish discharges result from stimulation or medication, others may have a more subtle etiology. Serous, serosanguineous, or bloody discharges mandate evaluation. Duct injection mammography and frequent excision of ductal systems are necessary. The clinician cannot forget other less common conditions, such as thrombophlebitis, fat necrosis, or infection. All clinical conditions of the breast provide a constellation of diagnostic and management problems. They are of real concern for every woman and must be resolved in an appropriate, prompt, and conscientious fashion.
Adiabatic Solutions for Ultra-Low-Power Electronics (2018)

This chapter provides a description of adiabatic logic introduced 40 years ago but not yet applied in the industry. It demonstrates the theoretical interest of this principle and also calculates the limits of use of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The adiabatic principle of charge and discharge of a capacitance is identified as the optimal solution for ultra-low-power electronics. Nevertheless, the use of CMOS for adiabatic logic introduces nonadiabatic dissipation due to threshold voltages, and finally the gain is far from the theoretical limit. The nano-electrical mechanical systems (NEMS) technology appears to be very interesting because the leakage dissipation is reduced compared to CMOS and because threshold effects can be reduced in adiabatic implementation. A detailed analysis and comparison of NEMS and CMOS technologies for low-power adiabatic logic implementation is presented. The chapter concludes with a detailed comparison of the energy-performance properties of the different explored technologies and with an introduction of a new paradigm: the capacitance-based adiabatic logic.
Web-based models for natural language processing (2005)

Previous work demonstrated that Web counts can be used to approximate bigram counts, suggesting that Web-based frequencies should be useful for a wide variety of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. However, only a limited number of tasks have so far been tested using Web-scale data sets. The present article overcomes this limitation by systematically investigating the performance of Web-based models for several NLP tasks, covering both syntax and semantics, both generation and analysis, and a wider range of n -grams and parts of speech than have been previously explored. For the majority of our tasks, we find that simple, unsupervised models perform better when n -gram counts are obtained from the Web rather than from a large corpus. In some cases, performance can be improved further by using backoff or interpolation techniques that combine Web counts and corpus counts. However, unsupervised Web-based models generally fail to outperform supervised state-of-the-art models trained on smaller corpora. We argue that Web-based models should therefore be used as a baseline for, rather than an alternative to, standard supervised models.
Illicit Methylphenidate Use in an Undergraduate Student Sample: Prevalence and Risk Factors (2003)

Illicit use of prescription-only stimulants on college campuses is a potentially serious public health issue. More work is needed to promote understanding and awareness of this problem among clinicians and researchers.
Performance analysis of deflection routing in optical burst-switched networks (2003)

This paper concerns itself with the performance of deflection routing in optical burst-switched networks based on just-enough-time (JET) signaling. Generally speaking, buffer requirement is not vital for JET-based optical burst switching (OBS). However, if deflection routing is enabled, optical buffers are necessary to solve the insufficient offset time problem. A variant of priority queuing model is proposed to approximate burst loss probability and the results show that the model provides an accurate estimation. We also evaluate the performance of deflection routing in Arpanet-2 topology. Simulation results indicate that deflection routing evidently brings significant blocking performance gain, especially with fewer wavelengths and under lighter load. In addition, we notice that excessive deflection will cause longer end-to-end delay and reduce the blocking performance. Therefore, it is necessary to control the maximum allowed deflection occurrences of a burst.
