Vision-based car-following: detection, tracking, and identification (2003)

The authors have developed a vision system for automatic car following and object classification. The CARTRACK system can reliably detect, track, and identify the back of an automobile in a dynamic image taken from a following car in the same lane or in a neighbor lane. The detection and tracking system exploits the symmetry property of the rear view of normal cars. The class of objects that are detected by CARTRACK includes normal cars of all sizes as well as trucks and conventional trailers. Parallel to the tracking process, a model-based identification module identifies the type of vehicle being followed. For objects of known size, it also facilitates distance estimation. Deformable 2D models (planar feature graphs) constructed from various visual features are used. The image features in a region of interest selected by the symmetry-based detection process are matched with the model objects by means of an elastic net technique.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Isolation and Culture Conditions of a<i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>Strain That Can Utilize Ammonium and Nitrate Ions Simultaneously with Controlled Iron and Molybdate Ion Concentrations (2002)

A bacterial strain F-5-2, isolated from soil and identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae, removed NH4+ completely in 24 h of aerobic cultivation in a medium containing 1 mg/ml of NH4NO3. However, 70% of the NO3- originally provided remained. When 100 microM Fe2+ was added to the medium, both NH4+ and NO3- were removed simultaneously and completely from the culture within 6 h of incubation. In addition, the amount of MoO4- in the medium markedly affected the bacterial cell growth and utilization of NH4+ and NO3-. The bacterium could remove 4 mg/ml of NH4NO3 completely in 48 h of aerobic cultivation in a medium containing 100 microM Fe2+ and 0.8 pM MoO4(2-). The total nitrogen in the culture containing its cells was decreased to 14% of that in the NH4NO3 originally provided. GC-MS analysis demonstrated that N2 was generated from the nitrogen atoms of both NH4+ and NO3-.
LTE Rel-13 MTC device receiver algorithms for coverage enhancement (2016)

Machine Type Communication (MTC) device for cellular communication is being defined by 3GPP based on LTE in Rel-12 and Rel-13. Low cost has been the major objective of the definition for Rel-12 based specification. In Rel-13, coverage enhancement of MTC devices has been the major focus along with reduced power consumption, complexity and narrow bandwidth operation. Coverage enhancement (CE) of ∼15dB is expected to be achieved by using multiple power aggregation techniques, e.g. boosting Power Spectral Density (PSD), repetitions and relaxed requirements in few other cases. In CE scenarios, many of the receiver algorithms designed for normal coverage (NC) do not perform well. Requirement to operate at very low SINR changes the problem setup for few receiver algorithms. In this paper we introduce multiple UE receiver algorithms spanning various receiver functions, for coverage enhancement with reduced complexity. Specifically, practical cell search algorithm with complete procedure with joint time and frequency uncertainty hypothesis, novel timing estimation algorithm using PBCH, improved Channel Quality Index (CQI) estimation and novel method for opportunistic early decoding criterion based on mutual information metric. Algorithms proposed in this paper are first of its kind addressing coverage enhancement requirement for 3GPP LTE Rel-13 MTC devices. We show the performance of different algorithms proposed at very low SNRs as required for CE case.
The pharmacy computer system at The Ohio State University hospitals (1984)

The pharmacy computer system designed, developed, and implemented at The Ohio State University Hospitals is described. The computer system was developed to make more efficient use of hospital facilities and professional staff time. The pharmacy system operates on the mainframe hospital system using computer terminals with light-pen and keyboard access. Current online applications include order entry, patient profiles, pharmacokinetic calculations, and preparation of unit dose cart fill lists. Batch processing functions include drug-use review, drug-drug interactions, and financial management reports. Approximately 95% of unit dose orders and 20% of i.v. orders are conditionally entered by pharmacy technicians for subsequent verification by pharmacists. The system saves considerable staff time in the i.v. admixture and billing areas and has relieved pharmacists from performing many clerical and repetitive tasks. Disadvantages of the system include (1) its dependence on another department for patient admission, transfer, and discharge information and (2) delays in obtaining approval for program modifications and new applications. The advantages of the pharmacy computer system lie in its ability to access information from other computerized databases in the hospital. Future modifications and enhancements to the system are discussed.
The effect of fluorine on MOSFET channel length (1993)

The effect of fluorine on MOS device channel length has been evaluated. Fluorine has been introduced into the transistor by self-aligned ion implantation after the lightly doped drain (LDD) implant. The impact of fluorine in the LDD region, and its effect on the electrically determined channel length (L/sub eff/), has been examined. Measurements taken from 0.6- mu m LDD MOSFETs show a significant dependence of the L/sub eff/ on fluorine implant dose. The n/sup +/ resistor also shows more width reduction compared to unfluorinated samples. The decrease in channel length reduction by adding fluorine in the LDD region may yield way to relieve short-channel effects for the continuous scaling of CMOS devices into the deep-submicrometer region.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Replication of Tobamovirus RNA (2016)

Tobacco mosaic virus and other tobamoviruses have served as models for studying the mechanisms of viral RNA replication. In tobamoviruses, genomic RNA replication occurs via several steps: (a) synthesis of viral replication proteins by translation of the genomic RNA; (b) translation-coupled binding of the replication proteins to a 5'-terminal region of the genomic RNA; (c) recruitment of the genomic RNA by replication proteins onto membranes and formation of a complex with host proteins TOM1 and ARL8; (d) synthesis of complementary (negative-strand) RNA in the complex; and (e) synthesis of progeny genomic RNA. This article reviews current knowledge on tobamovirus RNA replication, particularly regarding how the genomic RNA is specifically selected as a replication template and how the replication proteins are activated. We also focus on the roles of the replication proteins in evading or suppressing host defense systems.
A Scanographic Assessment of Pulmonary Morphology in Acute Lung Injury: Significance of the Lower Inflection Point Detected on the Lung Pressure–Volume Curve (1999)

The goal of this study was to assess lung morphology in patients with acute lung injury according to the presence or the absence of a lower inflection point (LIP) on the lung pressure-volume (P-V) curve and to compare the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Eight patients with and six without an LIP underwent a spiral thoracic CT scan performed at zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) and at two levels of PEEP: PEEP1 = LIP + 2 cm H2O and PEEP2 = LIP + 7 cm H2O, or PEEP1 = 10 cm H2O and PEEP2 = 15 cm H2O in the absence of an LIP. The volumes of air and tissue within the lungs were measured from the gas-tissue ratio and the volumes of overdistended and normally, poorly, and nonaerated lung areas were determined by the analysis of the frequency histogram distribution. In the ZEEP condition, although total lung volume, volume of gas, and volume of tissue were similar in both groups, the percentage of normally aerated lung was lower (24 +/- 22% versus 55 +/- 12%, p < 0.05) and the percentage of poorly aerated lung was greater (40 +/- 12% versus 23 +/- 8%, p < 0.05) in patients with an LIP than in patients without an LIP. Lung density histograms of patients with an LIP showed a unimodal distribution with a peak at 7 Hounsfield units (HU). Lung density histograms of patients without an LIP had a bimodal distribution, with a first peak at -727 HU and a second peak at 27 HU. Total respiratory system and lung compliances were lower in patients with an LIP whereas all other cardiorespiratory parameters were similar in the two groups. In both groups, PEEP induced an alveolar recruitment that was associated with lung overdistension only in patients without an LIP. The amount of lung overdistension was related to the volume of lung parenchyma, characterized by a CT number less than -800 HU before PEEP implementation (y = 0.52x + 4, R = 0.87, and p < 0.0001). This study shows that the presence or the absence of an LIP on the lung P-V curve is associated with differences in lung morphology. In patients without an LIP on the lung P-V curve, normally aerated lung areas coexist with nonaerated lung areas and increasing levels of PEEP result in lung overdistension rather than in additional alveolar recruitment. In patients with an LIP, air and tissue are more homogeneously distributed within the lungs and increasing levels of PEEP result in additional alveolar recruitment without lung overdistention.
Silk Foam Terahertz Waveguides (2014)

Fabrication and characterization in the THz frequency range of silk foams and silk foam‐based waveguides using lyophilisation and casting techniques are reported. The lack of biocompatible and biofriendly waveguides for low‐loss, low‐dispersion guidance of THz waves motivates the work for applications in remote and stand‐off sensing in biomedical and agro‐alimentary industries. Silk foams produced are 94% porous. Optical characterization is carried out using THz time‐domain spectroscopy. The cutback measurements of foam samples show that the foam refractive index is close to that of air ( ). Silk foam losses scale quadratically with frequency ( ), being one order of magnitude smaller than those of solid silk. As an example of a basic guided wave device, fabrication and optical characterization of 10 cm‐long, 5 mm‐diameter step‐index THz fibers having silk foam in the core and air in the cladding is demonstrated. Cutback measurements confirm that in the mid‐THz spectral range, step‐index fibers operate effectively in a single mode regime. Effective refractive index and propagation loss at frequencies higher that 0.2 THz are close to that of a silk foam from which the fiber core is made. At the same time, at these frequencies, modal group velocity dispersion is smaller than .
Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of Varied Ether Linker Analogues of the Antitubercular Drug (6<i>S</i>)-2-Nitro-6-{[4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzyl]oxy}-6,7-dihydro-5<i>H</i>-imidazo[2,1-<i>b</i>][1,3]oxazine (PA-824) (2011)

New analogues of antitubercular drug PA-824 were synthesized, featuring alternative side chain ether linkers of varying size and flexibility, seeking drug candidates with enhanced metabolic stability and high efficacy. Both α-methyl substitution and removal of the benzylic methylene were broadly tolerated in vitro, with a biaryl example of the latter class exhibiting an 8-fold better efficacy than the parent drug in a mouse model of acute Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and negligible fragmentation to an alcohol metabolite in liver microsomes. Extended linkers (notably propenyloxy, propynyloxy, and pentynyloxy) provided greater potencies against replicating M. tb (monoaryl analogues), with propynyl ethers being most effective under anaerobic (nonreplicating) conditions (mono/biaryl analogues). For benzyloxybenzyl and biaryl derivatives, aerobic activity was maximal with the original (OCH(2)) linker. One propynyloxy-linked compound displayed an 89-fold higher efficacy than the parent drug in the acute model, and it was slightly superior to antitubercular drug OPC-67683 in a chronic infection model.
ARC Eco-Lube - A Food Industry Waste-Based Green Lubricant (2017)

Abstract Due to a perpetual source of various waste products, the food industry is a potential source of different raw materials for different industrial applications including the oil and gas industry. These waste products can be processed, treated or modified for various industrial uses to mitigate or overcome some of the technical challenges. For example, the waste vegetable oil generated by the food industry can be used to develop eco-friendly lubricants for exploration and exploitation of oil and gas resources without any detrimental impact to the surrounding environment, ecosystems and habitats. This paper describes an eco-friendly lubricant developed using waste vegetable oil generated by the food industry. Experimental results indicate a significant reduction in the COF values of the water-based muds in the presence of the newly developed lubricant. Comparison of the COF reduction capability of the new lubricant with respect to non-environment friendly and poorly biodegradable diesel and mineral oils indicate better or similar performance for the newly developed lubricant. It also showed virtually similar performance in lab lubricity test with respect to a commercial green lubricant used by the industry and thus demonstrates its suitability as an alternative to commercial green lubricants. As the lubricant has been developed using a locally available food industry waste product, it will play a positive role in the growth of the local industries and enterprises. The localization of the lubricant development will create new employment opportunities for the local communities. Moreover, it will contribute in the growth of local and national economy and also in lifting the social and economic condition of the local communities. Incorporation of the lubricant in water-based mud will reduce the COF values significantly without any change to the environmental characteristics of water-based muds. Hence, it can be used in mitigating the torque and drag problem while drilling in sensitive environments such as offshore and deep water drilling environments.
Avidity of antibody responses to<i>Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans</i>in periodontitis (1995)

We designed a study to examine the serum IgG antibody avidity characteristics in: (i) normal subjects (N); (ii) Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans-infected adult periodontitis (AP Aa+); (iii) A. actinomycetemcomitans-infected localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP Aa+); and (iv) AP subjects (AP) with various antibody patterns and disease presentation. Although there were significant elevations in antibody levels for AP Aa+ and LJP Aa+ patients compared with AP and normal patients (P < 0.0001), there were no significant differences in the avidity indices (AI). Correlations of antibody levels to avidity revealed that functional activity of the antibody as measured by avidity was independent of antibody levels. Increasing antibody levels correlated with an increase in the number of infected sites, yet there was a trend for A1 to decrease with increased infection. Avidity indices for all patient groups did not appear to show a strong biologic relationship to plaque; however, in AP Aa+ and LJP Aa+ patients there was a generally positive relationship between avidity and bleeding on probing or pocket depth. In AP Aa+ and LJP Aa+ patients, and in AP patients there was a positive relationship of avidity through a threshold of approximately 8 active disease sites. This study hypothesized that antibody avidity to A. actinomycetemcomitans could help to explain the relationship between the active host response and chronic infection with this pathogen. The results provide evidence that both antibody levels and avidity may contribute to the variation in host resistance to infection and disease associated with A. actinomycetemcomitans.

Are branched chain fatty acids the natural substrates for P450BM3? (2006)

Branched chain fatty acids are substrates for cytochrome P450(BM3) (CYP102) from Bacillus megaterium; oxidation of C15 and C17 iso and anteiso fatty acids by P450(BM3) leads to the formation of hydroxylated products that possess high levels of regiochemical and stereochemical purity.
Challenges in passenger use of mixed reality headsets in cars and other transportation (2019)

Abstract This paper examines key challenges in supporting passenger use of augmented and virtual reality headsets in transit. These headsets will allow passengers to break free from the restraints of physical displays placed in constrained environments such as cars, trains and planes. Moreover, they have the potential to allow passengers to make better use of their time by making travel more productive and enjoyable, supporting both privacy and immersion. However, there are significant barriers to headset usage by passengers in transit contexts. These barriers range from impediments that would entirely prevent safe usage and function (e.g. motion sickness) to those that might impair their adoption (e.g. social acceptability). We identify the key challenges that need to be overcome and discuss the necessary resolutions and research required to facilitate adoption and realize the potential advantages of using mixed reality headsets in transit.
Monocyte, Macrophage, and Dendritic Cell Development: the Human Perspective (2016)

The maintenance of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs) involves manifold pathways of ontogeny and homeostasis that have been the subject of intense study in recent years. The concept of a peripheral mononuclear phagocyte system continually renewed by blood-borne monocytes has been modified to include specialized DC pathways of development that do not involve monocytes, and longevity through self-renewal of tissue macrophages. The study of development remains difficult owing to the plasticity of phenotypes and misconceptions about the fundamental structure of hematopoiesis. However, greater clarity has been achieved in distinguishing inflammatory monocyte-derived DCs from DCs arising in the steady state, and new concepts of conjoined lymphomyeloid hematopoiesis more easily accommodate the shared lymphoid and myeloid phenotypes of some DCs. Cross-species comparisons have also yielded coherent systems of nomenclature for all mammalian monocytes, macrophages, and DCs. Finally, the clear relationships between ontogeny and functional specialization offer information about the regulation of immune responses and provide new tools for the therapeutic manipulation of myeloid mononuclear cells in medicine.
Studies Toward an Ideal Fluorescence Method to Measure Palladium in Functionalized Organic Molecules: Effects of Sodium Borohydride, Temperature, Phosphine Ligand, and Phosphate Ions on Kinetics (2010)

Residual metals in fine chemicals are currently detected by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, which requires expensive instrumentation and does not have high-throughput capabilities. Although fluorescent probes can be amenable to high-throughput analyses of metals, the utility of such analyses is limited due to the lack of generality. Herein, we report a significant improvement (≈19-fold) to our previously reported catalysis-based fluorescent probe for palladium. Specifically, we found that slightly elevated temperature dramatically improved the generality of the method and that the deallylation reaction of the nonfluorescent compound 1 was accelerated by phosphate ions in aqueous media. This method was capable of detecting 0.2 ppb palladium. We demonstrated reasonably accurate palladium detection in various active pharmaceutical ingredients and highly functionalized organic compounds.
Composite arrays of superconducting microstrip line resonators (2014)

A novel design of an array of half-wave superconductive microstrip resonators is described. The resonator is intended to be useful for electron spin resonance studies of thin film samples at cryogenic temperatures. It achieves a high quality factor, has a small mode-volume, and creates a uniform magnetic field in a plane above the resonator. The device is made of thin film Niobium on sapphire wafer and is tested with a static magnetic field. Variation of Q-factor versus the magnetic field's strength at different temperatures is reported and is in a good agreement with simulation when the loss due to the vortices is included. Also, the power-dependence response of the resonator is shown in experiments and is verified by capturing the nonlinearity associated with the surface impedance of the superconducting film into the circuit model of the device.
