Intermittent Computing: Challenges and Opportunities (2017)

The maturation of energy-harvesting technology and ultra-low-power computer systems has led to the advent of intermittently-powered, batteryless devices that operate entirely using energy extracted from their environment. Intermittently operating devices present a rich vein of programming languages research challenges and the purpose of this paper is to illustrate these challenges to the PL research community. To provide depth, this paper includes a survey of the hardware and software design space of intermittent computing platforms. On the foundation of these research challenges and the state of the art in intermittent hardware and software, this paper describes several future PL research directions, emphasizing a connection between intermittence, distributed computing, energy-aware programming and compilation, and approximate computing. We illustrate these connections with a discussion of our ongoing work on programming for intermittence, and on building and simulating intermittent distributed systems.
Two-color, double-slit in vivo flow cytometer (2007)

The in vivo flow cytometer enables the real-time detection and quantification of fluorescent cells circulating within a live animal without the need for incisions or extraction of blood. It has been used in demonstrating flow velocity disparities in biological flows, and in the investigation of the circulation kinetics of various types of cells. However, a shortcoming of this in vivo flow cytometer is that it provides only one excitation slit at one wavelength, resulting in several performance limitations. Therefore, a second in vivo flow cytometer that provides two different laser wavelengths, 473 and 633 nm, and one or two excitation slits has been designed and built. Thus far, the two-color system has been used to acquire circulation kinetics data of two different cell populations each labeled with a different marker, one cell population labeled with two different markers, and one cell population expressing the green-fluorescent protein gene. In addition, accurate arterial red blood cell velocities within a mouse have been determined using the cytometer.
Protein <i>trans</i>‐splicing on an M13 bacteriophage: towards directed evolution of a semisynthetic split intein by phage display (2010)

Split inteins link their fused peptide or protein sequences with a peptide bond in an autocatalytic reaction called protein trans-splicing. This reaction is becoming increasingly important for a variety of applications in protein semisynthesis, polypeptide circularisation, construction of biosensors, or segmental isotopic labelling of proteins. However, split inteins exhibit greatly varying solubility, efficiency and tolerance towards the nature of the fused sequences as well as reaction conditions. We envisioned that phage display as an in vitro selection technique would provide a powerful tool for the directed evolution of split inteins with improved properties. As a first step towards this goal, we show that presentation of active split inteins on an M13 bacteriophage is feasible. Two different C-terminal intein fragments of the Ssp DnaB intein, artificially split at amino acid positions 104 and 11, were encoded in a phagemid vector in fusion to a truncated gpIII protein. For efficient production of hybrid phages, the presence of a soluble domain tag at their N-termini was necessary. Immunoblot analysis revealed that the hybrid phages supported protein trans-splicing with a protein or a synthetic peptide, respectively, containing the complementary intein fragment. Incorporation of biotin or desthiobiotin by this reaction provides a straightforward strategy for future enrichment of desired mutants from randomised libraries of the C-terminal intein fragments on streptavidin beads. Protein semisynthesis on a phage could also be exploited for the selection of chemically modified proteins with unique properties.
Urban Water Quality Assessment Based on Remote Sensing Reflectance Optical Classification (2021)

With the acceleration of urbanization, increasing water pollution means that monitoring and evaluating urban water quality are of great importance. Although highly accurate, traditional evaluation methods are time consuming, laborious, and vastly insufficient in terms of the continuity of spatiotemporal coverage. In this study, a water quality assessment method based on remote sensing reflectance optical classification and the traditional grading principle is proposed. In this method, an optical water type (OWT) library was first constructed using the measured in situ remote sensing reflectance dataset based on fuzzy clustering technology. Then, comprehensive scoring rules were established by combining OWTs and 12 water quality parameters, and water quality was graded into different urban water quality levels (UWQLs) based on the scoring results. Using the proposed method, the relative water quality of urban waterbodies was qualitatively evaluated at the macro level based on images from the multispectral imager of Sentinel-2. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the UWQLs and the water quality index (WQI). These results indicate the potential of this method for quantitative assessment of urban water quality, providing a new way to evaluate water quality using remote sensing algorithms in the future.
Optimized Monopole and Dipole Antennas for UWB Asset Tag Location Systems (2012)

Miniaturized monopole and dipole antenna designs are reported with performances optimized for ultrawideband pulsed radio applications. The geometries are created using Bézier spline shapes, which have been refined with a genetic algorithm to simultaneously take account of both frequency- and time-domain criteria. Time-domain measurements of ultra wideband antennas with uniformly distributed energy across the full 3.1-10.6 GHz mask are reported for the first time and validate a new approach to minimization of pulse dispersion effects in the antenna designs.
EuroPhenome: a repository for high-throughput mouse phenotyping data (2009)

The broad aim of biomedical science in the postgenomic era is to link genomic and phenotype information to allow deeper understanding of the processes leading from genomic changes to altered phenotype and disease. The EuroPhenome project (http://www.EuroPhenome.org) is a comprehensive resource for raw and annotated high-throughput phenotyping data arising from projects such as EUMODIC. EUMODIC is gathering data from the EMPReSSslim pipeline (http://www.empress.har.mrc.ac.uk/) which is performed on inbred mouse strains and knock-out lines arising from the EUCOMM project. The EuroPhenome interface allows the user to access the data via the phenotype or genotype. It also allows the user to access the data in a variety of ways, including graphical display, statistical analysis and access to the raw data via web services. The raw phenotyping data captured in EuroPhenome is annotated by an annotation pipeline which automatically identifies statistically different mutants from the appropriate baseline and assigns ontology terms for that specific test. Mutant phenotypes can be quickly identified using two EuroPhenome tools: PhenoMap, a graphical representation of statistically relevant phenotypes, and mining for a mutant using ontology terms. To assist with data definition and cross-database comparisons, phenotype data is annotated using combinations of terms from biological ontologies.

Zwingli and Justice (2022)

츠빙글리는 하나님의 정의와 인간의 정의의 상호관계를 통해 취리히의 교회와 국가의 동시적인 개혁을 추구하였다. 하나님의 정의는 하나님의 본질, 하나님의 말씀, 기독론, 그리고 성령론을 통해 논의된다. 하나님은 본질적으로 정의로우신 분이신데, 하나님의 말씀을 통해 우리에게 알려진다. 하나님의 정의는 한 편에서는 우리가 그것을 성취할 수 없으므로 그리스도가 오셔서 성취하였다. 그리스도께서 성취하신 (정)의가 우리에게 믿음을 통해 은혜로 주어지기 때문에 이것이 복음이다. 이같이 하나님의 정의는 기독론적으로 성취된다. 그리스도는 우리를 구원하신 후에하나님의 정의를 실천하라는 계명을 주신다. 우리는 이것을 실천할 수 없고 오직 성령의 역사로 성취된다. 그러므로 하나님의 정의는 성령론적으로 실천된다. 이러한 하나님의 복음과 정의는 말씀 선포를 통해서 지속적으로 사람들에게 알려져야 한다. 그러므로 이러한 복음 선포를 금지하는 로마가톨릭 교회의 공권력 행사는 국가권력에 의해 제지되어야 한다. 인간 사회에서 하나님의 정의가 완전하게 실현될 수 없고 인간들은 죄성과 이기심을 가지고 있으므로 인간의 정의가 시행되어야 한다. 인간의 정의는 공권력을 가진 국가가 시행한다. 하나님께서 여러 계명들을 주셨지만, 인간은 처벌 규정이 없이는 시행하지 않는다. 그러므로 국가는 검의 세력을 가지고 사회질서를 유지해야 한다. 그렇지만 그리스도인들은 인간의 정의에 만족해서는 안 되고 하나님의 정의의 실현을 향하여 나아가야 한다. 그러므로 츠빙글리는 시의회와 협력하여 자유로운 말씀 선포를 통해 교회와 국가를 동시에 개혁하며 하나님의 주권을 실현하고자 하였다. 이러한 과정에서 실입조, 이자제도, 그리고 구제를 위한 복지제도를 개혁하였다.
Prevotella paludivivens sp. nov., a novel strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative, hemicellulose-decomposing bacterium isolated from plant residue and rice roots in irrigated rice-field soil (2007)

Two strictly anaerobic bacterial strains, KB7(T) and A42, were isolated from rice plant residue and living rice roots, respectively, from irrigated rice-field soil in Japan. These two strains were closely related to each other with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.8 %. Both strains showed almost the same physiological properties. Cells were Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods. Growth was remarkably stimulated by the addition of haemin to the medium. The strains utilized various saccharides including xylan, xylose, pectin and carboxymethylcellulose and produced acetate and succinate with small amounts of formate and malate. The strains grew at 10-40 degrees C; optimum growth was observed at 30 degrees C and pH 5.7-6.7. Oxidase, catalase and nitrate-reducing activities were not detected. Aesculin was hydrolysed. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C(15 : 0), iso-C(15 : 0), C(15 : 0) and iso-C(17 : 0) 3-OH. Menaquinones MK-11 and MK-11(H(2)) were the major respiratory quinones and the genomic DNA G+C content was 39.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed both strains in the phylum Bacteroidetes. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the most related species to both strains was Prevotella oulorum (92.8-92.9 % similarity). Prevotella veroralis and Prevotella melaninogenica were the next most closely related known species with sequence similarities of 91.9-92.4 %. Based on differences in the phylogenetic, ecological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics between the two isolates and related species, it is proposed that strains KB7(T) and A42 represent a novel species, Prevotella paludivivens sp. nov. This is the first described Prevotella species derived from a natural habitat; all other Prevotella species are from mammalian sources. The type strain of Prevotella paludivivens is KB7(T) (=JCM 13650(T)=DSM 17968(T)).
Percutaneous Absorption Enhancement by Nonionic Surfactants (1986)

The influence of nonionic surfactants (polysorbates) on hydrocortisone penetration through hairless mouse skin in vitro has been determined. Permeation was quite slow from purely aqueous media containing surfactants following finite dose application. However, if the vehicle contained high propylene glycol concentrations (40% or more), inclusion of a surfactant increased permeation rate significantly. Similar effects were noted following application of a large donor volume (infinite dose). Synergism was attributed to enhancement of surfactant absorption by the stratum corneum leading to changes in skin barrier resistance. With vehicles containing a surfactant, penetration was higher after finite dose application due to compositional changes within the vehicle.
3D printed plastic 60 GHz lens: Enabling innovative millimeter wave antenna solution and system (2014)

During the past years, various research teams developed 60 GHz chipset solutions, using both advanced CMOS [1] and BiCMOS [2] technologies. But for the 60 GHz market to flourish not only low cost RFICs are required, low cost antennas and packages are also key elements. Recently, low cost High Density Interconnect (HDI) organic technology has been evaluated [3, 4] to develop 60 GHz module using antenna-in-package approach. Measured gain is in the order of 4 dBi but there is still a need to achieve higher gain in order to increase the transmit/receive range of the system. The use of a lens is an appealing solution since it enables to customize the system performances while using existing chipset solution. In this paper, we investigate the performances achievable by a plastic (ABS-M30) lens manufactured using low cost and rapid manufacturing 3D printing technology. Material properties at 60 GHz are reviewed, a preliminary 60 GHz lens design is detailed and the full system is validated using a WiGig wireless link (demonstrating a 10 dB improvement in the link budget in comparison with the system without lens).

Physicians' Requirement Analysis Based Design of the Master Device Mechanism for Teleoperated Interventional Robotic System (2016)

This paper presents an optimally designed master device mechanism for teleoperated interventional robotic system. The interventional procedures using the teleoperated robotic system and the physicians' requirements are summarized. The master device should implement 5-DOF motion including 2-DOF translational motion for the entry position control, 2-DOF rotational motion for the orientation control, and 1- DOF translational motion for needle insertion. The handle assembly includes a 1-DOF translational mechanism for needle insertion and buttons for operation mode selection. The mechanisms for the 2-DOF translational motion and the 2-DOF rotational motion are designed using motors and brakes based on the various mechanisms to satisfy all the above requirements, respectively. Absolute position sensors are adopted to implement automatic initial positioning and orientation matching at the first step of needle insertion.
High-Affinity, Human Antibody-Like Antibody Fragment (Single-Chain Variable Fragment) Neutralizing the Lethal Factor (LF) of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> by Inhibiting Protective Antigen-LF Complex Formation (2007)

The anthrax lethal toxin (LT) consists of two subunits, the protective antigen (PA) and the lethal factor (LF), and is essential for anthrax pathogenesis. Several recombinant antibodies directed against PA and intended for medical use have been obtained, but none against LF, despite the recommendations of anthrax experts. Here we describe an anti-LF single-chain variable fragment (scFv) that originated from an immunized macaque (Macaca fascicularis) and was obtained by phage display. Panning of the library of 1.8 x 10(8) clones allowed the isolation of 2LF, a high-affinity (equilibrium dissociation constant, 1.02 nM) scFv, which is highly neutralizing in the standardized in vitro assay (50% inhibitory concentration, 1.20 +/- 0.06 nM) and in an in vivo assay. The scFv neutralizes anthrax LT by inhibiting the formation of the LF-PA complex. The genes encoding 2LF are very similar to those of human immunoglobulin germ line genes, sharing substantial (84.2%) identity with their most similar, germinally encoded counterparts; this feature favors medical applications. These results, and others formerly published, demonstrate that our approach can generate antibody fragments suitable for prophylaxis and therapeutics.

FACIAL EXPRESSION CLASSIFICATION WITH HAAR FEATURES, GEOMETRIC FEATURES AND CUBIC BÃ‰ZIER CURVES (2013)

Facial expressions are nonverbal communication channels to interact with other people. Computer recognition of human emotions based on facial expression is an interesting and difficult problem. In this study, images were analyzed based on facial expressions and tried to identify different emotions, such as smile, surprise, sadness, fear, disgust, anger and neutral. In practice, it was used Viola-Jones face detector used AdaBoost algorithm for finding the location of the face. Haar filters were used in finding the eyes and mouth. In cases where erroneous detection of the mouth and eyes, facial geometric ratios were used. Cubic BÃ©zier curves were used in determining emotion. FEEDTUM facial expression database were used for training and testing. The seven different emotions used for the study, the recognition success rates ranged from 97% to 60%.
Selective Desulfurization of Cysteine in the Presence of Cys(Acm) in Polypeptides Obtained by Native Chemical Ligation (2007)

Increased versatility for the synthesis of proteins and peptides by native chemical ligation requires the ability to ligate at positions other than Cys. Here, we report that Raney nickel can be used under standard conditions for the selective desulfurization of Cys in the presence of Cys(Acm). This simple and practical tactic enables the more common Xaa-Ala junctions to be used as ligation sites for the chemical synthesis of Cys-containing peptides and proteins. [reaction: see text].
Attention-based network for low-light image enhancement (2020)

The captured images under low light conditions often suffer insufficient brightness and notorious noise. Hence, low-light image enhancement is a key challenging task in computer vision. A variety of methods have been proposed for this task, but these methods often failed in an extreme low-light environment and amplified the underlying noise in the input image. To address such a difficult problem, this paper presents a novel attention-based neural network to generate high-quality enhanced low-light images from the raw sensor data. Specifically, we first employ attention strategy (i.e. channel attention and spatial attention modules) to suppress undesired chromatic aberration and noise. The channel attention module guides the network to refine redundant colour features. The spatial attention module focuses on denoising by taking advantage of the non-local correlation in the image. Furthermore, we propose a new pooling layer, called inverted shuffle layer, which adaptively selects useful information from previous features. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed network in terms of suppressing the chromatic aberration and noise artifacts in enhancement, especially when the low-light image has severe noise.
Teleportation of a Product State of an Arbitrary Single-Particle State (2011)

This paper proposes two schemes for teleporting a product state of an arbitrary single-particle state from a sender to a receiver via a four-particle entangled cluster state. The two different quantum channels are used, while the successful probabilities of these two schemes are different. In the first proposal, the successful probability is 1.0 and in the second proposal, the successful probability is 4q 2 if the receiver performs an appropriate unitary operation.
A New Oscillometry-Based Method for Estimating the Brachial Arterial Compliance Under Loaded Conditions (2008)

We propose a new method for assessing the compliance of a compressed brachial artery using an oscillometry-based approach that is mathematically based on artery and air-cuff models. The cuff dynamics during the inflation period were characterized by simultaneously recording the cuff volume and internal pressure with a pressure transducer and an airflow meter, respectively, which yielded the envelope of the oscillation amplitudes (OAs) in the air cuff. This allowed the change in the arterial volume during each heartbeat at different cuff pressures to be calculated, yielding a changed volume-pressure curve. The oscillometry-derived loaded compliance of the brachial artery (Cosci) can be determined as the dynamic changed volume divided by the pulse pressure. Furthermore, we developed a direct scheme to calibrate the calculated dynamic changed volume. In addition, the proposed C(osci) was validated by comparing it with the compliance of the brachial artery (Cecho) estimated echocardiographically from the brachial arterial blood flow in 32 patients whose lower limbs exhibited numbness or lack of strength. The results showed that Cosci and Cecho were significantly correlated between the cuff pressures levels and the mean arterial pressure, systolic pressure, and diastolic pressure (r=0.616, 0.571, and 0.666, respectively; p<0.0001). This suggests that a useful measure of the loaded compliance can be derived from the pattern of the OA waveform in addition to oscillometry-based blood pressure measurements.
