Language training recovery system for autistic children (2017)

Objective
To investigate the effect of language training recovery system for autistic children.


Methods
22 autistic children treated at our hospital from January, 2012 to October, 2015 were selected; among which, 10 cases taking normal language recovery treatment before June, 2013 were set as a control group and the other 12 cases treated by language training recovery system after July, 2013 as a study group. The recovery effects were compared between these two groups.


Results
The IFQ and VAQ were much higher in the study group than in the control group, with statistical differences (P 0.05). 2 cases got IQ separation in the study group and 4 in the control group (P>0.05).


Conclusions
Language training recovery system for autistic children can significantly improve the children’s verbal intelligence quotient and overall quotient, but is not better than normal language recovery, so it can effectively alleviate communication problems for autistic children and plays an important role in disease controlling and recovering and is worth being generalized.

Flow phenomena in compliant and noncompliant arteriovenous grafts. (1989)

Oscillatory flows at venous anastomoses of two end-to-side angioaccess grafts were studied using: 1) a noncompliant Gore-Tex polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft and 2) a longitudinal compliant Ultraflex graft. The study was done in a transparent flow model fabricated from a femoral-to-femoral arteriovenous loop graft (AVLG) surgically implanted in dogs. The 6 mm x 25 cm loop graft reproduces that of the brachial artery-cephalic vein hemodialysis angioaccess loop graft commonly used in patients. At a pulse rate of 70 beats/min and blood flow of 0.7 L/min, flow visualization was done using a 15 mW He-Ne laser and a cylindrical lens system which converts the incident laser beam into a thin parallel light plane. Hydrogen bubble technique was used to illustrate the flow field at selected planes. Phasic pressure and flow oscillations were observed in the hypertensive host vein. The pressure wave arrived at the venous anastomosis with higher amplitude and shorter time of travel in the Gore-Tex graft than in the Ultraflex graft. The differences in wave attenuations and wave transmission time between grafts resulted in apparent changes of flow pattern in both the proximal (heart side) and distal (foot side) veins. The negative lags between the flow peaks in the distal vein and proximal artery are explained by the phasic pressure gradients measured at the anastomoses. Spectral analysis was done on the venous thrills, which are characteristic of almost all clinical AVLG implants. The power spectra taken at 60, 70, 90, and 120 beats/min clearly demonstrated a concentration of fluctuation energy at about 100 Hz in the Gore-Tex AVLG.

Analyzing repair decisions in the site imbalance problem of semiconductor test machines (2003)

Test machines can test multiple IC devices simultaneously. When testing the same group of devices, unusual deviations in yield rates of specific sites from the other sites (i.e., site imbalance) imply a fault in the corresponding sites and the machine. This study develops a decision analysis framework for maximizing profit and customer satisfaction under uncertain conditions. The proposed framework can provide the on-site operators specific decision rules to help decide whether they should continue the test, close specific sites, or shut the machine down to repair it. A numerical example is used for illustration.
<i>N</i>-Butyl-<scp>l</scp>-deoxynojirimycin (<scp>l</scp>-NBDNJ): Synthesis of an Allosteric Enhancer of α-Glucosidase Activity for the Treatment of Pompe Disease (2017)

The highly stereocontrolled de novo synthesis of l-NBDNJ (the unnatural enantiomer of the iminosugar drug Miglustat) and a preliminary evaluation of its chaperoning potential are herein reported. l-NBDNJ is able to enhance lysosomal α-glucosidase levels in Pompe disease fibroblasts, either when administered singularly or when coincubated with the recombinant human α-glucosidase. In addition, differently from its d-enantiomer, l-NBDNJ does not act as a glycosidase inhibitor.
Effect of Aggregation Pheromones on Efficacy of Cardboard Traps for Sawtoothed Grain Beetle (Coleoptera: Cucujidae) (1990)

Male and female sawtoothed grain beetles, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), released on a flat arena were recaptured in corrugated cardboard traps baited with a mixture of the male-produced aggregation pheromones 3(Z),6(Z)-dodecadien-ll-olide, 3(Z),6(Z)-do-decadienolide, and 5(Z),8(Z)-tetradecadien-13-olide (cucujolides) or l-octen-3-ol, which is produced by males and females. Both sexes were slightly more responsive to l-octen-3-ol at low doses than to the cucujolides, but at high doses of l-octen-3-ol the response declined precipitously. When all four pheromones were combined, the sensitivity to l-octen-3-ol at low doses was maintained and the cucujolides overrode the repellency of l-octen-3-ol at high doses. Dose-response curves established that the enhancement of the attraction of the cucujolides was dependent upon dose and that for equivalent performance a trap baited with the four-part mixture would require 100-fold lesson cucujolides than a trap baited with only the cucujolides. Thus, the four-component mixture is highly recommended for monitoring of O. surinamensis in baited traps.
The Bayesian group-Lasso for analyzing contingency tables (2009)

Group-Lasso estimators, useful in many applications, suffer from lack of meaningful variance estimates for regression coefficients. To overcome such problems, we propose a full Bayesian treatment of the Group-Lasso, extending the standard Bayesian Lasso, using hierarchical expansion. The method is then applied to Poisson models for contingency tables using a highly efficient MCMC algorithm. The simulated experiments validate the performance of this method on artificial datasets with known ground-truth. When applied to a breast cancer dataset, the method demonstrates the capability of identifying the differences in interactions patterns of marker proteins between different patient groups.
Low Molecular Weight Components But Not Dimeric HCG Inhibit Growth and Down-Regulate AP-1 Transcription Factor in Kaposi's Sarcoma Cells (1997)

Kaposi's sarcoma, a sexually dimorphic disease inflicting high mortality in AIDS, remains at present without effective treatment. A recent report (Nature 375:64, 1995) showed that the placental glycoprotein hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and surprisingly its β subunit, inhibit tumorigenicity and metastasis of Kaposi's sarcoma cells in mice xenografts. The anti-KS efficacy of a commercial HCG was subsequently demonstrated in clinical trials. Experimental data presented herein confirm that commercial HCG preparations (known to be about 25% pure) display significant inhibitory action in a dose-dependent manner. However, pure and biologically active HCG has no effect on Kaposi's sarcoma growth in culture. In fact, incubation of Kaposi's sarcoma cells with either one of four different well characterized preparations of pure HCG dimer or any of its two subunits did not alter cellular proliferation suggesting that a contaminant (or degradation product) may be the active agent. Commercial HCG preparations were subfractionated based on molecular size and each fraction was tested with respect to inhibition of KS cell growth, HCG radioreceptor binding and steroidogenic bioactivity. Results demonstrate that the anti-KS activity resides among low molecular weight components, and not in bona fide (macromolecular) HCG. Our study indicates that HCG activity and anti-KS action are separable. Interestingly, the active components in the crude HCG markedly down-regulate AP-1, a complex of transcription factors of the immediate-early response genes associated with cell growth. We conclude that, as yet unidentified molecules, present in the commercial HCG preparations, are responsible for the growth inhibitory effects presumably via the AP-1 signalling pathway.
Towards an autonomous self-tuning vibration energy harvesting device for wireless sensor network applications (2011)

Future deployment of wireless sensor networks will ultimately require a self-sustainable local power source for each sensor, and vibration energy harvesting is a promising approach for such applications. A requirement for efficient vibration energy harvesting is to match the device and source frequencies. While techniques to tune the resonance frequency of an energy harvesting device have recently been described, in many applications optimization of such systems will require the energy harvesting device to be able to autonomously tune its resonance frequency. In this work a vibration energy harvesting device with autonomous resonance frequency tunability utilizing a magnetic stiffness technique is presented. Here a piezoelectric cantilever beam array is employed with magnets attached to the free ends of cantilever beams to enable magnetic force resonance frequency tuning. The device is successfully tuned from − 27% to + 22% of its untuned resonance frequency while outputting a peak power of approximately 1 mW. Since the magnetic force tuning technique is semi-active, energy is only consumed during the tuning process. The developed prototype consumed maximum energies of 3.3 and 3.9 J to tune to the farthest source frequencies with respect to the untuned resonance frequency of the device. The time necessary for this prototype device to harvest the energy expended during its most energy-intensive (largest resonant frequency adjustment) tuning operation is 88 min in a low amplitude 0.1g vibration environment, which could be further optimized using higher efficiency piezoelectric materials and system components.
Flexible Bias Control for a Mach-Zehnder Modulator Based on a Two-Layer Neural Network Algorithm (2019)

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a neural network-based flexible bias control algorithm. The proposed algorithm is experimentally demonstrated with an MZM driven by a 56-Gb/s PAM4 signal and a 28-Gb/s BPSK signal, respectively.
Luminescence lifetime determination for oxygen imaging in human tissue (2007)

Imaging and monitoring of biochemical parameters in vitro and in vivo have become the goal of many investigations in medical physics. The main imaging technique used is laser-induced luminescence due to its cost effectiveness and diversity of applications [1]. One key parameter in medical investigations, for instance to control photodynamic therapy, is the molecular oxygen concentration. The use of optical methods provides possible means of measuring molecular oxygen. The basis of such a method is the measurement of the luminescence lifetime of a dye which is quenched by molecular oxygen. The molecular oxygen concentration can be monitored two-dimensionally by pixel-wise determination of the luminescence lifetime with a CCD-camera. An oxygen imaging system based on this principle was built and tested with a commercially available oxygen sensitive sol gel-layer. The embedded ruthenium complex is quenched by molecular oxygen and because of the oxygen permeability of the layer; it is suitable for oxygen measurements. The characteristics and dependence on the pH-value and temperature of the luminescence lifetime of the layer were examined in preparation for measurements on tissue to exclude cross-correlation of other quenching processes.

Investigations of Thin Layer Chromatographic Techniques Used for Forensic Explosives Analysis in the Early 1970s (1993)

Abstract The article describes three brief experimental studies of the thin layer chromatographic (TLC) techniques used for forensic explosive investigations at Royal Armament Research and Development Establishment at Woolwich (RARDE Woolwich) in 1974. The first study demonstrated that 200 ng amounts of nitroglycerine (NG) and pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) in TLC spots visualized using the sodium hydroxide/Griess system can be recovered and reanalyzed using a second TLC eluent. In the second study the characteristics of a titanium(III) chloride/4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde visualization system for nitrotoluenes were investigated. In the third study it was shown that under certain conditions the rate of PETN spot color development after Griess reagent spray could be very slow in comparison with that of NG.
EFFECTS OF A MEMBRANE-PERMEABLE RADICAL SCAVENGER, TEMPOL, ON INTRAPERITONEAL SEPSIS-INDUCED ORGAN INJURY IN RATS (2004)

There is good evidence that endotoxemia, sepsis, and septic shock are associated with the generation and release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion (O2), indicating that oxygen-derived free radicals play an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis/shock. Studies on the application of free oxygen radical scavengers to limit the damage to tissues and organs have been recently attempted. A stable piperidine nitroxide of low molecular weight (Tempol) can permeate biological membranes and scavenge O2 in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we investigated effects of Tempol on the circulatory failure and multiple organ injuries caused by a clinically relevant polymicrobial sepsis model in the rat-cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). CLP not only successfully induced circulatory failure but also substantially increased plasma concentrations of glutamate-oxalate-transferase and glutamate-pyruvate-transferase (indicators of liver injury), creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (indicators of kidney injury), and decreased base excess in arterial blood in the late stage, indicating the development of multiple organ injury in this study. These were also confirmed by a histologic examination showing that the CLP-induced sepsis accompanied increase of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration in the lung and sequestration in the liver. Our results demonstrated that Tempol not only ameliorated the deterioration of hemodynamic changes and renal and liver injuries but also attenuated PMN infiltration in the lung and sequestration in the liver (histology). In addition, Tempol improved the survival in CLP-induced septic rats. Moreover, Tempol reduced the plasma NO. and interleukin-1beta and organ O2 levels in CLP-treated rats. In conclusion, Tempol prevented circulatory failure and attenuated organ dysfunction/injury as well as decreased the mortality rate in CLP-treated animals. These beneficial effects of Tempol may be attributed to inhibition of ROS formation (e.g., NO. and O2), suggesting antioxidant (e.g., Tempol) is a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of intraperitoneal septic shock.
Preparation, Characterization, and Performance of Conductive Fabrics: Cotton + PANi (2004)

Conductive cotton + PANi fabrics are prepared by in-situ chemical oxidative polymer ization of aniline using ammonium persulphate as the oxidant by a process of diffusion polymerization in a mixed bath. These fabrics are characterized by elemental analysis, XRF, ATR-FTIR, WAXD, SEM, DSC, and two-probe conductivity. Sorption properties are studied by measuring the weight uptake before and after reaction. The composite fabrics are studied for their performance after repeated washing, and tested for their flame retardancy, EMI shielding, and gas sensing properties.
Evolution of PrePaid Service towards a real-time payment system (2002)

One of the main aims of Bell Core's intelligent network approach in the 1980s was to offer a generic solution for the deployment of value-added voice services within circuit switched networks. Although the INAP protocol always allowed the provisioning of number translation services by controlling the call set-up and influencing the routing of voice-calls it is another class of IN services which gained more and more importance. Today, the number of services which include additional control of the voice-call charging is by far the largest in number: Freephone, Premium Rate, Friends and Family, Home Zone Billing are just a few examples, and the most popular service has become a synonym for the whole IN architecture - the PrePaid Service (PPS).
Taming Pretrained Transformers for Extreme Multi-label Text Classification (2020)

We consider the extreme multi-label text classification (XMC) problem: given an input text, return the most relevant labels from a large label collection. For example, the input text could be a product description on Amazon.com and the labels could be product categories. XMC is an important yet challenging problem in the NLP community. Recently, deep pretrained transformer models have achieved state-of-the-art performance on many NLP tasks including sentence classification, albeit with small label sets. However, naively applying deep transformer models to the XMC problem leads to sub-optimal performance due to the large output space and the label sparsity issue. In this paper, we propose X-Transformer, the first scalable approach to fine-tuning deep transformer models for the XMC problem. The proposed method achieves new state-of-the-art results on four XMC benchmark datasets. In particular, on a Wiki dataset with around 0.5 million labels, the [email protected] of X-Transformer is 77.28%, a substantial improvement over state-of-the-art XMC approaches Parabel (linear) and AttentionXML (neural), which achieve 68.70% and 76.95% [email protected], respectively. We further apply X-Transformer to a product2query dataset from Amazon and gained 10.7% relative improvement on [email protected] over Parabel.
The TSS‐1R Mission: Overview and scientific context (1998)

The Tethered Satellite System (TSS) program is a binational collaboration between NASA and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) with NASA providing the Shuttle‐based deployer and tether and ASI providing a satellite especially designed for tethered deployment. Twelve science investigations (see Table 1) were supported by NASA, ASI, or the Air Force Philips Laboratory. The goals of the TSS‐IR mission, which was the second flight of the TSS hardware, were to provide unique opportunities to explore (1) certain space plasma‐electrodynamic processes—particularly those involved in the generation of ionospheric currents, and (2) the orbital mechanics of a gravity‐gradient stabilized system of two satellites linked by a long conducting tether. TSS‐IR was launched February 22, 1996 on STS‐75 into a 300‐km, circular orbit at 28.5° inclination. Satellite flyaway occurred at MET 3/00:27 and a unique data set was obtained over the next 5 hours as the tether was deployed to a length of 19,695 m. At MET 3/05:11, during a day pass, the tether suddenly broke near the top of the deployer boom. The break resulted from a flaw in the tether insulation which allowed the ignition of a strong electrical discharge that melted the tether. The operations that had begun at satellite flyaway, however, allowed significant science to be accomplished.
Investigations of single frequency networks for digital mobile radio systems based on COFDM (2002)

The application of COFDM (coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) transmission schemes allows the implementation of power and bandwidth efficient transmitter networks, the so-called single frequency networks. Dependent on the network configuration, the transmission quality can be improved by macro diversity gain, but contrary to that fact, self interference can lower system performance in several locations of the coverage area. The knowledge of these effects is important for network planning. New measurement techniques are required to investigate the properties of single frequency networks. In this contribution, a wideband channel sounder is described for measuring complex transfer functions of the radio channels within a single frequency network. The method is especially designed to distinguish between the signal components of the different transmitters. The complex superposition of the signals in a single frequency network is obtained additionally. The procedure was tested in several field trials. Some results of the evaluation of the measurements are given in the paper.
