Swivel: Improving Embeddings by Noticing What's Missing (2016)

We present Submatrix-wise Vector Embedding Learner (Swivel), a method for generating low-dimensional feature embeddings from a feature co-occurrence matrix. Swivel performs approximate factorization of the point-wise mutual information matrix via stochastic gradient descent. It uses a piecewise loss with special handling for unobserved co-occurrences, and thus makes use of all the information in the matrix. While this requires computation proportional to the size of the entire matrix, we make use of vectorized multiplication to process thousands of rows and columns at once to compute millions of predicted values. Furthermore, we partition the matrix into shards in order to parallelize the computation across many nodes. This approach results in more accurate embeddings than can be achieved with methods that consider only observed co-occurrences, and can scale to much larger corpora than can be handled with sampling methods.
DNA photofootprinting with Rh(phi)<SUB>2</SUB>bpy<SUP>3+</SUP> (2003)

This chapter describes one method for high resolution photofootprinting of proteins or small drugs bound to DNA (1). DNA footprinting is an electrophoretic method that permits the visualization (footprint) of the binding site of a molecule site-specifically bound to DNA. The method entails the nonspecific cleavage of a radioactively end-labeled DNA containing the site-specifically bound molecule. Protection from this sequence neutral cleavage at the binding site reveals the footprint. Photofootprinting differs from other conventional footprinting techniques in that DNA cleavage occurs directly on irradiation of a photocleaving reagent, which binds to the target DNA sequence. Alternative photofootprinting methods produce DNA cleavage indirectly by creating photo-damaged DNA adducts that are labile to base treatment after irradiation of the DNA (2,3). Traditional footprinting procedures utilize either a protein like DNase I for cleavage or small molecule reagents that cleave DNA under specific chemical conditions (4–8).
Electronic Health Records: Then, Now, and in the Future (2016)

The current use of EHRs initiated by new technology would have been hard to foresee. Current and new EHR technology will help to provide international standards for interoperable applications that use health, social, economic, behavioral, and environmental data to communicate, interpret, and act intelligently upon complex healthcare information to foster precision medicine and a learning health system.
Towards Intelligent Assistance for a Data Mining Process (2005)

A data mining (DM) process involves multiple stages. A simple, but typical, process might include preprocessing data, applying a data-mining algorithm, and postprocessing the mining results. There are many possible choices for each stage, and only some combinations are valid. Because of the large space and non-trivial interactions, both novices and data-mining specialists need assistance in composing and selecting DM processes. Extending notions developed for statistical expert systems we present a prototype Intelligent Discovery Assistant (IDA), which provides users with (i) systematic enumerations of valid DM processes, in order that important, potentially fruitful options are not overlooked, and (ii) effective rankings of these valid processes by different criteria, to facilitate the choice of DM processes to execute. We use the prototype to show that an IDA can indeed provide useful enumerations and effective rankings in the context of simple classification processes. We discuss how an IDA could be an important tool for knowledge sharing among a team of data miners. Finally, we illustrate the claims with a comprehensive demonstration of cost-sensitive classification using a more involved process and data from the 1998 KDDCUP competition.
Wireless automated digital energy meter (2008)

Electricity is one of the basic requirements of human beings, which is widely used for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes. There is a great demand for electricity and in spite of very well developed alternate sources for electricity, there are lot of problems in connection with distribution and metering. The traditional electro-mechanical meters, still widely used today are prone to drift over temperature and time as a result of mechanical nature of the components in the meter. The problem worsens further in collecting the meter readings and generating the bill. In this paper we suggest a method where we utilize telecommunication systems for automated transmission of data to facilitate bill generation and payment of the same at the customers’ place.
Guaranteed Cost Model Predictive Control-based Driver Assistance system for vehicle stabilization under tire parameters uncertainties (2016)

Road traffic crashes have been the leading cause of death among young people. Most of these accidents occur when the driver becomes distracted and a loss-of-control situation occurs. Steer-by-Wire systems were recently proposed as an alternative to mitigate such accidents. This technology enables the decoupling of the front wheel steering angles from the driver hand wheel angle and, consequently, the measurement of road/tire friction limits and the development of novel control systems capable of ensuring vehicle stabilization and safety. However, vehicle safety boundaries are highly dependent on tire characteristics which vary significantly with temperature, wear and the tire manufacturing process. Therefore, design of autonomous vehicle and driver assistance controllers cannot assume that these characteristics are constant or known. Thus, this paper proposes a Guaranteed Cost Model Predictive Controller Driver Assistance System able to avoid front and rear tire saturation and to track the drivers intent up to the limits of handling for a vehicle with uncertain tire parameters. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed approach under time-varying uniformly distributed disturbances.
Adsorption Properties of Montmorillonite and Synthetic Saponite as Packing Materials in Liquid-Column Chromatography (1988)

Abstract The adsorption of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)-ruthenium(II) (Ru(phen) 3 2+ ) by two kinds of colloidally dispersed clays, sodium montmorillonite and synthetic saponite, was studied by spectrophotometric and electron-optical methods. Montmorillonite adsorbed this complex stronger than saponite. The electronic spectrum measurements suggested that the electronic states of the complex were more perturbed on adsorption by montmorillonite than by saponite. High-performance liquid chromatography was attempted on an ion-exchanged adduct of optically active Ru(phen) 3 2+ and these clays. 1,1′-Binaphthol was eluted with a 1:1 (v/v) water-methanol mixture as an eluent. The compound was resolved with a separation factor of 15 and 1.4 on the saponite and montmorillonite columns, respectively. If tris(acetylacetonato)-chromium(III) was eluted with water, the compound was resolved with separation factors of 1.9 and 11 on the saponite and montmorillonite columns, respectively. These separation tendencies were probably due to the difference in the external surface area and the density of the bound chelates.
The ‘Rotating Snakes’ in Smooth Motion do Not Appear to Rotate (2010)

'Rotating snakes' is an illusory figure in which the 'snakes' are perceived to rotate. We report that when the image moves smoothly, the snakes do not appear to rotate, although the retinal images are continuously refreshed. Therefore, to produce the illusion, the image should remain stationary (without being refreshed) for some time on the same retinal position.
Sex Ratios of Zebra Finches (1989)

SummaryBurley, N., Zann, RA., Tidemann, S.C. & Male, E.B. Sex ratios of Zebra Finches. (1989) Emu 89, 83–92.Tertiary sex ratios of Zebra Finches Poephila guttata are weakly but consistently male-biased (52.1 %) over a broad geographic range. The cause of this bias does not appear to be differential mortality of adults, because adult males and females remain resident at study sites for equal lengths of time. The estimated secondary sex ratio (49.2%), combined with evidence of higher (more male-biased) sex ratios of young birds that remain on their natal site past maturity vis-a-vis those that do not and vis-a-vis adult immigrants, suggest possible differential mortality and dispersal of young females. Secondary sex ratios fluctuate in time/space. Long-term (1975–1986) data for northern Victoria indicate that the sex ratio is inversely proportional to the rainfall accumulated during the immediately preceding season. During 1986, the sex ratio declined over the breeding (dry) season in the Top End, and a strongly male-biased (59.2%) sex ratio was produced in Alice Springs in a breeding pulse that followed the end of a two-year drought. Virtually identical sex ratios were obtained by mistnetting and the use of baited traps.

Treatment of Vulval Epithelial Lesions by Pulsed High‐Frequency Therapy (1979)

Abstract. The effect of pulsed high‐frequency therapy has been investigated in 25 patients, who had various chronic vulval lesions resulting in continuous, annoying pruritus, smarting or pain, resistant to conventional therapy. The beneficial effect of pulsed high‐frequency therapy was either definite or good in 80% of all the cases.
Characterization of infiltrating lymphocytes in human benign and malignant prostate tissue (2017)

Immune checkpoint blockade has shown promising results in numerous cancer types. However, in prostate cancer (PC), absent or limited responses have been reported. To investigate further, we compared the phenotype of infiltrating T-cells isolated from prostate tissue from patients with PC (<i>n</i> = 5), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (<i>n</i> = 27), BPH with concurrent PC (<i>n</i> = 4) and controls (<i>n</i> = 7). The majority of T-cells were CD8<sup>+</sup> and had a CCR7<sup>-</sup>CD45RO<sup>+</sup> effector memory phenotype. However, the yield of T-cells isolated from PC lesions was on average 20-fold higher than that obtained from control prostates. Furthermore, there were differences between the prostate conditions regarding the percentage of T-cells expressing several activation markers and co-inhibitory receptors. In conclusion, many prostate-infiltrating T-cells express co-inhibitory receptors PD-1 and LAG-3, regardless of prostate condition. Despite the observed increase in counts and percentages of PD-1<sup>+</sup> T-cells in PC, the concomitant demonstration of high percentage of PD-1<sup>+</sup> T-cells in control prostates suggests that PD-1 may play a role in controlling the homeostasis of the prostate rather than in contributing to PC-associated immune-suppression. Thus, PD-1 may not be a good candidate for checkpoint blockade in PC and these data are relevant for evaluation of clinical trials and in designing future immunotherapeutic approaches of PC.
Clinical Characteristics of Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction (2011)

These data should help better identify PH-HFpEF, an entity that has become increasingly recognized and difficult to treat.
A Discussion of Dorianne Laux'<i>The Courage to Heal</i> (2000)

Abstract Dorianne Laux' account of her journey of healing from abuse is a compelling and rich description of the relationship between therapist and client that is necessary to foster a recovery of self. In addition, Ms. Laux' use of metaphor draws the reader into her experience and helps us to empathize with the plight of the abused child. Finally, her writing is a testimony to the power of metaphor to unlock feelings, to foster therapeutic gains, and to add meaning to our lives.
In-flight deaths during commercial air travel. How big is the problem? (1988)

Do passenger deaths occur during commercial air travel? If so, how often and from what causes? We reviewed information reported to the International Air Transport Association on in-flight deaths that occurred during commercial air travel for the eight years between 1977 and 1984. Of the 120 airlines in the International Air Transport Association, 42 carriers reported deaths during these eight years. A total of 577 in-flight deaths were recorded, for a reported average of 72 deaths per year. Deaths occurred at average rates of 0.31 per million passengers, 125 per billion passenger-kilometers, and 25.1 per million departures. The majority of those who died were men (66%, 382/577) and middle-aged (mean age, 53.8 years). Most of the individuals (77%, 399/515) reported no health problems prior to travel. Physicians aboard the aircrafts offered medical assistance for 43% (247/577) of the deaths. More than half of the deaths (56%, 326/577) seemed to be related to cardiac problems. Sudden unexpected cardiac death was the cause of death in 63% (253/399) of the apparently healthy people and seems to be the major cause of death during air travel. These observations support the initiation of programs to train cabin personnel in the skills of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and in the use of automatic external defibrillators.

Aromatic polymers obtained by precipitation polycondensation, 2. Synthesis of poly(ether ketone ether ketone ketone) (PEKEKK) (1997)

Abstract A high molecular weight, linear aromatic poly(ether ketone ether ketone ketone) (PEKEKK) has been synthesized by electrophilic Friedel‐Crafts acylation condensation of 1,4‐diphenoxybenzophenone with terephthaloyl chloride. The syntheses were performed as precipitation polycondensations, and the polyketones were obtained in particle form. The viscosity (molecular weight), shape and size of these particles were found to be strongly dependent on the reaction conditions. For low monomer concentration, highly ordered needle‐like particles were also obtained. The chemical structure of the polymers obtained was confirmed by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, and para ‐substitution in aryl fragments of the main chain was identified. Analysis of the expanded 1 H NMR spectra for the ring proton resonances reveals defect meta ‐ and ortho ‐structures. The amount and isomer ratio of these defect structures depend on the monomer concentration used.
Implementation of end-to-end abstractions in a network service architecture (2008)

To support the increasing diversity of systems and protocols in the Internet, modern routers offer a variety of data path processing functions. Such "network services" are easy to implement on a single node, but a network-wide deployment is difficult. We discuss our implementation of a network service architecture that uses novel end-to-end abstractions to access and control advanced data path functions. To make such functions available to end-system applications, we introduce a "service socket" API. We demonstrate the operation of this network architecture and its socket API in the context of a video distribution scenario that we have implemented on a 60-node Emulab testbed.
The moderating effect of grit on the relationship between academic stress and academic burnout in high school students (2022)

The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of Grit on the relationship between academic stress and academic burnout in high school students. For this purpose, data were collected from 215 high school students in Gyeonggi-do, and the research problem was analyzed through hierarchical regression analysis. As a result, first, it was found that the higher the academic stress, the higher all of the sub-variables of academic burnout: incompetence, antipathy, anxiety, exhaustion, and apathy. Second, it was found that the higher the persistence of interest and the steadiness of effort, which are sub-factors of grit, the lower the symptoms of academic burnout in high school students. Third, among the sub-variables of Grit, the persistence of interest did not play a moderating role in the relationship between academic stress and academic burnout in high school students, but the steadiness of effort factor showed a moderating effect in the relationship between academic stress and academic burnout. These results suggest that students can reduce or prevent academic burnout if they consistently strive toward their goals even in the stressful situation of their studies.
Quantitative promoter hypermethylation profiles of ductal carcinoma in situ in North American and Korean women: Potential applications for diagnosis (2008)

To investigate the diagnostic potential of DNA methylation-based markers in tissue samples of DCIS, we examined the prevalence and extent of methylation in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) samples from North American and Korean women. Quantitative multiplex-methylation specific PCR (QM-MSP) of ten genes was performed. The methylation level of APC1, Cyclin D2, HIN-1, RASSF1A and Twist singly, and cumulative methylation of all ten genes was significantly higher in DCIS compared to normal tissues for both groups. A three-gene panel (APC1, HIN-1 and RASSF1A) QM-MSP distinguished between DCIS and normal breast tissues with a sensitivity of 94 to 96% and a specificity of 81 to 87%. Methylation levels of these three genes in DCIS were higher than those of hyperplasia or adjacent normal appearing tissues in Korean women. Comparing North American and Korean DCIS, statistically significant differences in methylation levels were found for CDH1, ERalpha and RAR-beta. Quantification of gene methylation combined with immunohistochemistry in a small subset of tumors suggested that methylation may precede loss of protein expression for ERalpha. Our study demonstrated that methylation profiles of DCIS between North American and Korean women were similar. Methylation status of a panel of genes measured in a quantitative manner accurately discriminated between normal and DCIS tissues of both groups. For both North American and Korean women, QM-MSP analysis of a key panel of genes may be useful as an ancillary tool for DCIS detection in breast tissues.
ALZHEIMER'S PRESENILE DEMENTIA, SENILE DEMENTIA OF ALZHEIMER TYPE AND DOWN'S SYNDROME IN MIDDLE AGE FORM AN AGE RELATED CONTINUUM OF PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES (1984)

A loss of nerve cells from the nucleus basalis of Meynert and the locus caeruleus together with a reduction in nucleolar volume in surviving cells was measured in twenty-two patients with Alzheimer's disease who ranged in age from 48-92 years, and in six patients over 50 years of age with Down's syndrome who also showed extensive formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles within their cerebral cortex. When compared with age matched controls the severity of these changes was greatest in the younger patients with Alzheimer's disease, but this fell with age such that by 90 years the level of change in Alzheimer's disease approached that in old age alone. There were only slight differences in the extent of these pathological changes in those patients with Down's syndrome when compared with others of similar age with Alzheimer's disease. It is concluded that the presenile dementia of Alzheimer's disease, the senile dementia of Alzheimer type and Down's syndrome in middle age all form an age-related continuum of pathological change.
Modified single point-to-plane corona poling rotating system for production of electret dosimeters (2018)

A "modified single point-to-plane corona poling rotating system" was designed, constructed and well studied for electret production of radiation dosimeters. This innovative system which was patented is based on a new corona charging method which exposes the corona beam towards the surface of a material such as Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The corona beam from a metal needle automatically scans a defined diameter of the surface of a Teflon PTFE disc placed concentric on a heated rotational metal disc electrode for a certain period of time. Some parameters affecting the uniformity and stability of the deposited charges on the Teflon disc surface include; (a) needle-to-Teflon disc distance, (b) single point-to-plane system modes; modified versus classical, (c) Teflon disc charge polarity, (d) Teflon disc diameter and (e) electret formation process. Large-area (14 cm diameter) Teflon disc electrets (0.2 mm thick) with steady-state negative or positive uniform electrostatic charge potentials up to 1.2 kV with stability up to 77 days studied were produced. The Teflon electret discs produced have high quality with acceptable parameters to be applied for different applications in particular as electret radiation dosimeters. In this paper, the results of parametric studies of the modified corona rotating system are presented, discussed and compared with those of some common corona electret production methods.
Automated quasi‐continuous immunoanalysis of pesticides with a flow injection system (1991)

Abstract Chemical methods (HPLC, GC/MS) for the control of pesticides in water at low concentrations are time‐consuming, expensive and need sample pre‐concentration. Immunoassays offer the potential of rapid, inexpensive, sensitive and specific detection methods. This paper presents a flow injection system that is based on immunochemical reaction and which provides the opportunity for automated, quasi‐continuous measurements for screening water samples for the presence of pesticides. The method of flow injection immunoanalysis (FIIA) was compared with competitive ELISA (enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay). It is possible to measure in the range of interest of 0·1 μg litre −1 , which is the limiting value of the European drinking water directive. Measurements were made for the triazine herbicides atrazine and propazine, which both cross‐react with the polyclonal antiserum used. Furthermore, this device includes a new development of a membrane reactor for the exchange of used biological material, in this case antibodies. A brief comparison of ELISA and FIIA is presented, giving an overview of some aspects of the assays.
