Robust automatic modulation classification using cumulant features in the presence of fading channels (2006)

Automatic modulation classification (AMQ is a scheme to automatically identify the modulation types of the transmitted signals by observing the received data samples in the presence of noise and fading channels. Nowadays, AMC plays an important role in both cooperative and non-cooperative communication applications. Very often, multipath fading channels result in the severe AMC performance degradation or induce large classification errors. The negative impacts of multipath fading channels on AMC have been discussed in the existing literature but no solution has ever been proposed so far to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we propose a new robust AMC algorithm, which applies higher-order statistics (HOS) in a generic framework for blind channel estimation and pattern recognition. The advantage of our new algorithm is that, by carefully designing the essential features needed for AMC, we don't really have to acquire the complete channel information and therefore it can be feasible without any a priori information in practice. The Monte Carlo simulation results show that our new AMC algorithm can achieve the much better classification accuracy than the existing AMC techniques
Metal Chelates of Curcuminoids (1998)

Abstract Curcuminoids, a group of structurally related 1.3-dicarbonyl compounds. are the most important physiologically active components present in the traditional herbaceous medicinal plant oriental turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn., Zingiberaceae family). Nickel(II). copper(II), zinc(II) and palladium(II) chelates of synthetic analogues of these 1,7-diatyl-1.6-heptadiene-3.5-diones have been synthesized. UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectral data of the ML2 complexes clearly indicate that the metal ion replaced the enol proton with the formation of a stable six-mcmbered metal chelate ring involving the dicarbonyl function.

Cardiovascular Function in Nonclinical Drug Safety Assessment (2011)

There are several recent examples where clinically significant, safety-related, drug effects on hemodynamics or cardiac function were not apparent until large clinical trials were completed or the drugs entered the consumer market. Such late-stage safety issues can have significant impact on patient health and consumer confidence, as well as ramifications for the regulatory, pharmaceutical, and financial communities. This manuscript provides recommendations that evolved from a 2009 HESI workshop on the need for improved translation of nonclinical cardiovascular effects to the clinical arena. The authors conclude that expanded and improved efforts to perform sensitive yet specific evaluations of functional cardiovascular parameters in nonclinical studies will allow pharmaceutical companies to identify suspect drugs early in the discovery and development process while allowing promising drugs to proceed into clinical development.
An Advanced Bolus Calculator for Type 1 Diabetes: System Architecture and Usability Results (2015)

This paper presents the architecture and initial usability results of an advanced insulin bolus calculator for diabetes (ABC4D), which provides personalized insulin recommendations for people with diabetes by differentiating between various diabetes scenarios and automatically adjusting its parameters over time. The proposed platform comprises two main components: a smartphone-based patient platform allowing manual input of glucose and variables affecting blood glucose levels (e.g., meal carbohydrate content and exercise) and providing real-time insulin bolus recommendations; and a clinical revision platform to supervise the automatic adaptations of the bolus calculator parameters. The system implements a previously in silico validated bolus calculator algorithm based on case-based reasoning, which uses information from similar past events (i.e., cases) to suggest improved personalized insulin bolus recommendations and automatically learns from new events. Usability of ABC4D was assessed by analyzing the system usage at the end of a six-week pilot study (n = 10). Further feedback on the use of ABC4D has been obtained from each participant at the end of the study from a usability questionnaire. On average, each participant requested 115 ± 21 insulin recommendations, of which 103 ± 28 (90%) were accepted. The clinical revision software proposed a total of 754 case revisions, where 723 (96%) adaptations were approved by a clinical expert and updated in the patient platform.

A two-transistor antifuse OTP memory macro using permanent MOS-gate-oxide breakdown as a programming scheme is fabricated and characterized. The antifuse OTP bitcell is composed of an NMOS as antifuse element and as a select transistor. Characterization shows that this solution is a viable technology option for modern OTP and electrical fuse applications.
Influence of employing laminated isogrid configuration on mechanical behavior of grid structures (2019)

For a long time, a single grid layer, such as isogrid, have been utilized to strengthen a shell or plate or as an independent structural member for various applications. Laminated grid structures consist of several grid layers that can have different in-plane orientations or can be made from different materials. Therefore, using laminated configuration instead of conventional grids yields to an extensive variety of configurations with different coupling effects and cost. In the current paper, to evaluate the appropriateness of laminated isogrids, the vibration and stability behaviors of a conventional isogrid are compared with corresponding laminated isogrid plate. The first-order shear deformation plate theory as well as the Ritz theorem is utilized to achieve the critical buckling loads and free vibration frequencies of the plates. The influence of increasing the number of isogrid plies and changing pattern geometries on mechanical behaviors of the laminated isogrid plate is also investigated. The results imply that utilization of the laminated isogrids remarkably enhances the buckling load and free vibration frequency values of the plates.
Monolithic IMPATT oscillator characterization (1989)

Two methods were developed to characterize the monolithic IMPATT resonator used in the design of the millimeter-wave oscillators. Although they are only good for discrete frequency points, the accuracy is much better than the method of de-embedding. The transmission resonance method can also be applied to other circuitry with high reflection coefficients, such as the matching circuit of a narrowband power FET, or HBT. The varactor method is very handy for in situ measurements. The drawback is that it is destructive and the accuracy deteriorates when the loss is high (a small arc). The experimental results are valuable for monolithic IMPATT oscillator design.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Il cineoperatore totale (2007)

Il saggio descrive l'attività di Mario Bava come direttore della fotografia, svoltasi principalmente prima del suo esordio registico del 1960 nell'ambito della produzione popolare e di genere. L'ipotesi di fondo è che la mancata specializzazione professionale sia paradossalmente il punto di forza di Bava, "operatore" tanto più richiesto e prestigioso quanto più è capace di occuparsi di ogni aspetto della produzione cinematografica, dalla direzione delle luci alla creazione di effetti speciali, dalla direzione degli attori all'invenzione di soluzioni visive. Da questo punto di vista la figura di Bava si distacca in modo considerevole dalle pratiche più riconoscibili della modernità cinematografica.
Heterologous Prime-Boost Immunisation Regimens Against Infectious Diseases (2006)

Development of prophylactic vaccines against infectious diseases (such as malaria, tuberculosis and HIV) has been hindered by the lack of effective immunisation strategies that induce the cellular arm of the immune system necessary for protection against these intracellular pathogens. DNA vaccines, recombinant proteins and recombinant viral vectors are all effective antigen delivery systems for inducing cellular immunity. However, when used alone, the levels of specific immune response they induce is often low. Heterologous prime boost immunisation strategies involve using two different vaccines, each encoding the same antigen. In the past decade, numerous published reports have demonstrated that such prime boost immunisation strategies effectively enhance cellular immunity in several different animal and disease models. Since several intracellular pathogens are considered potential biowarfare threats, the objective of this review is to assess whether prime-boost vaccination is likely to be effective in protecting against those intracellular pathogens of defence interest. This review focuses on heterologous prime boost immunisation studies using DNA vaccines as the priming vehicle followed by either recombinant protein or recombinant viral vector boost. Included is a summary of studies up to July 2005, for a number of diseases. This paper evaluates if this approach may be applied to those intracellular pathogens considered a threat to the ADF in our vaccine development program.
Suppression of mode hopping noise caused by external reflection in dynamic single mode (DSM) lasers (1987)

<i>Gomphrena virgata</i> Mart. popularly known as 'Cangussu-branco', is used in Brazilian folk medicine to treat inflammations and infections. This work aimed to carry out phytochemical analysis and evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of <i>Gomphrena virgata</i>. In the phytochemical investigation, in addition to the presence of two ecdysteroids, 20 R-dihydroxyecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone, identified by HPLC-PDA-MS and NMR, 22 compounds were identified by GC-MS. In the cytotoxicity study, the aqueous extract of the roots of this species did not show in vitro toxicity of PBMCs in the concentrations of 250, 500 and 1000 µg/mL when analyzed by the trypan blue exclusion method. Also, it was effective in reducing lymphocyte proliferation, stimulated with the mitogen PHA, by 26.02%, 48.57% and 50.49% when compared to dexamethasone, respectively. In this work we present information about the phytochemicals of <i>G. virgata</i>, showing that the species is promising in obtaining compounds with medicinal potential mainly anti-inflammatory potential.

It allows the reconstruction of the private key for almost all practical parameter choices in polynomial time with high probability.
Augmentation of Antiproliferative and Antitumor Effect on Human Cancer Cells in Combined Use of Electroporation with a Plant Toxin, Saporin (2001)

Effect of electroporation (EP) in combination with a plant toxin, saporin, was studied using a human lung cancer cell line (PC9) and a pancreatic cancer cell line (ASPC-1). Target cells were electroporated in the presence of saporin and washed, and incubated for 72 hr. Proliferation inhibition in combination of EP and saporin was observed in parallel with the voltages and the saporin concentrations used. Proliferation of PC9 cells was completely inhibited at 1000 ng/ml of saporin in combination with EP (80-90 V, 10 ms, n = 8). High degree of proliferation inhibition was also obtained when ASPC-1 cells were electroporated in the presence of saporin (0.1-1000 ng/ml). PC9 or ASPC-1 tumor-bearing nude mice were treated with electroporation following the intratumoral injection of saporin (1 mg). Tumor necrosis was observed 24-48 hr after the combination therapy with saporin and EP. Six of nine mice with established PC 9 tumors and all the mice with established ASPC-1 tumors regressed completely 14 days and 6 days after the combination therapy, respectively.
Statistical model for analyzing the dephasing effects in a one-dimensional scattering chain (2006)

Based on the phenomenological statistical model of dephasing introduced by Pala and Iannaccone [Phys. Rev. B 69, 235304 (2004)], we perform an analytical and numerical calculation of electron transmission through a one-dimensional (1D) scattering chain. With the introduction of random phase fluctuations into the computation of the scattering matrix, dephasing can be treated as a distribution phenomenon. By adopting the scattering matrix method combined with a Monte Carlo averaging procedure, we simulate the transition from a coherent transport to a fully incoherent transport in the 1D scattering chain. We also find the random-phase fluctuations closely related to the phase breaker model introduced by Mello et al. [Phys. Rev. B 61, 16570 (2000)].
Cancer chemoprevention by dietary phytochemicals: a mechanistic viewpoint (1998)

Chemoprevention refers to the use of non-toxic chemical agents to prevent neoplastic development by inhibiting, delaying, or reversing multi-stage carcinogenesis, The primary goal of chemoprevention research is to identify or produce effective agents and strategies for clinical trials go be applied to normal or high-risk human populations, A large number of compounds have been tested for their possible chemopreventive activities, and it is of interest to note that many of them are naturally occurring substances. Thus, a variety of plant and vegetable constituents, particularly those included in our daily diet, have been found to possess substantial protective properties against experimental carcinogenesis, These substances, collectively known as dietary phytochemicals, exert their chemopreventive effects by influencing specific step(s) of multi-stage carcinogenesis: some inhibit metabolic activation or enhance detoxification of carcinogens, others interfere with covalent interactions between ultimate electrophilic carcinogens and the target cell DNA and still others may exert anti-promotion or anti-progression effects. Mechanism-based interventions by use of safe dietary phytochemicals may provide one of the most practical and promising cancer chemopreventive strategies.
[The treatment of psoriasis-arthritis with cyclosporin A, a new immunosuppressive agent]. (1981)

The treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by cyclosporin A, a new immunosuppressive agent believed to have a largely selective action on T lymphocytes, is described. Results in 4 cases show that cyclosporin A can bring about a most impressive improvement in psoriatic lesions of the skin and its appendages, but that its effect on the arthropathy is variable. There is still little certainty about the compound's mechanism of action in these conditions. Cyclosporin A may give rise to a whole range of side effects and its use--like that of other immunosuppressants--should therefore be contemplated only in severe and progressive forms of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis resistant to other forms of treatment except cytostatic drugs.
APOL1 CKD Risk Alleles in New Mexico African American and American Indian Populations: Racial Disparity (2018)

Purpose/Background: Two haplotypes of human apolipoprotein L1 gene (gene: APOL1; protein: ApoL1) harboring three coding sequence mutations have been demonstrated as risk variants associated with non-diabetic chronic kidney diseases (CKD) in African Americans. The first one, termed G1, is a two non-synonymous SNP haplotype (rs73885319 (A>G; p.S342G) and rs60910145 (G>T; p.I384M). The second one, termed G2, is a two codon deletion haplotype rs71785313 (6-bp in frame deletion) These two coding-sequence variants have been discovered in CKD patients of African ancestry and linked to the pathogenesis of primary focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), hypertension-attributed kidney disease, and HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN), under a recessive inheritance pattern. Marked disparities exist in races, rates, and etiological classifications of CDK between African Americans (AAs) and European Americans. Sequencing and genotyping analysis of known APOL1 SNPs showed that only APOL1 G1 and G2 confer kidney risk, and other common and rare APOL1 missense variants, including the G3 haplotype, do not contribute to FSGS and HIVAN in the US population.\nAccording to the report of US census bureau, African American and American Indian (AI) citizens in New Mexico make up nearly 2.5% and 10.9% of the state's entire population in 2018 (2). However, whether APOL1 G1 and G2 kidney-risk alleles are linked with hypertension-attributed CKD in AAs and AIs in New Mexico has not been investigated.\nMaterials & Methods: We analyzed the published results of a retrospective analysis of inpatient and discharge data from hospitals across the state of New Mexico, known as Hospital Inpatient and Discharge Dataset (HIDD; 3).\nResults: A pattern persisted for all three years (2012-2014) that AAs had the highest rate of CKD followed by AIs per 10,000 population in New Mexico. AAs had the highest age adjusted rate of CKD with hypertension at 102.6 per 10,000 population (29.7% (102.6/345.7) of all CKD with hypertension patients) followed by American Indians at 91.9 (26.6% (91.9/345.7) of all CKD with hypertension patients). Interestingly, in terms of CKD with diabetes, AIs had the highest age adjusted rate at 79.9 per 10,000 followed by AAs at 66.5.\nDiscussion/Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD with hypertension in AA and AI populations is significantly high in New Mexico, To understand the etiology of CKD in AAs and AIs in New Mexico, genotyping the APOL1 G1 and G2 risk alleles in these two populations is warranted. Detection of APOL1 associations with CKD and delineation of injury pathways (autophagy, necroptosis and ferroptosis) would bring hope for effective treatment for these kidney diseases. In addition, modifier loci can influence APOL1 risk for the development of CKD. ‘Second hits’, for example viral and environmental, may alter the outcome of APOL1 risk variants.
Exploratory Visualization of Data with Variable Quality (2005)

Data quality, which refers to correctness, uncertainty, completeness and other aspects of data, has became more and more prevalent and has been addressed across multiple disciplines. Data quality could be introduced and presented in any of the data manipulation processes such as data collection, transformation, and visualization. Data visualization is a process of data mining and analysis using graphical presentation and interpretation. The correctness and completeness of the visualization discoveries to a large extent depend on the quality of the original data. Without the integration of quality information with data presentation, the analysis of data using visualization is incomplete at best and can lead to inaccurate or incorrect conclusions at worst. This thesis addresses the issue of data quality visualization. Incorporating data quality measures into the data displays is challenging in that the display is apt to be cluttered when faced with multiple dimensions and data records. We investigate both the incorporation of data quality information in traditional multivariate data display techniques as well as develop novel visualization and interaction tools that operate in data quality space. We validate our results using several data sets that have variable quality associated with dimensions, records, and data values.
