Kernel Fusion: An Effective Method for Better Power Efficiency on Multithreaded GPU (2010)

As one of the most popular accelerators, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has demonstrated high computing power in several application fields. On the other hand, GPU also produces high power consumption and has been one of the most largest power consumers in desktop and supercomputer systems. However, software power optimization method targeted for GPU has not been well studied. In this work, we propose kernel fusion method to reduce energy consumption and improve power efficiency on GPU architecture. Through fusing two or more independent kernels, kernel fusion method achieves higher utilization and much more balanced demand for hardware resources, which provides much more potential for power optimization, such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). Basing on the CUDA programming model, this paper also gives several different fusion methods targeted for different situations. In order to make judicious fusion strategy, we deduce the process of fusing multiple independent kernels as a dynamic programming problem, which could be well solved with many existing tools and be simply embedded into compiler or runtime system. To reduce the overhead introduced by kernel fusion, we also propose effective method to reduce the usage of shared memory and coordinate the thread space of the kernels to be fused. Detailed experimental evaluation validates that the proposed kernel fusion method could reduce energy consumption without performance loss for several typical kernels.
Identification of the First Fungal NADP-GAPDH from <i>Kluyveromyces lactis</i> (2002)

Deletion of the phosphoglucose isomerase gene, PGI1, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to a phenotype for which glucose is toxic. This is related to overproduction of NADPH through the oxidative part of the pentose phosphate pathway and the incompetence of S. cerevisiae to deal with this overproduction. A similar deletion (rag2) in Kluyveromyces lactis does not lead to such a phenotype. We transformed a genomic library of K. lactis in a yeast vector to a S. cerevisiae strain with a pgi1 deletion and screened for growth on glucose. We found a gene (GDP1) which encodes a phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADP-GAPDH (EC 1.2.1.13), that accepts both NADP and NAD. This is the first report of a eukaryotic, nonplant, NADP-linked GAPDH. Presumably, operation of this enzyme in the reverse direction enabled the transformed S. cerevisiae pgi1 deletion mutant to reoxidize the excess NADPH produced when glucose catabolism was forced through the pentose pathway. On the other hand, transcription of the gene in K. lactis was upregulated during growth on D-xylose, which suggests that in K. lactis the enzyme is involved in regeneration of NADPH needed for xylose assimilation, but transcription was not detected in a rag2 mutant grown on glucose. The presence of an asparagine (Asn46 in NADP-GAPDH) instead of the conserved aspartate found in related but NAD-specific enzymes may explain the ability of NADP-GAPDH to work with NADP as well as NAD.
Lattice Ciphertext Policy Attribute-based Encryption in the Standard Model (2014)

A lattice ciphertext policy attribute based encryption (CP-ABE) scheme is presented, in which the ciphertext policy achieved is the AND-gates on multi-valued attributes. The previous construction with AND-gates on multi-valued attributes as ciphertext policy is based on bilinear paring technology. In this paper, inspired by the recent progress of lattice identity based encryption scheme, we achieve this access structure from lattice technology. There are two constructions given, and both of them can be viewed as an extension and generalization of the lattice identity based encryption schemes proposed by Agrawal et al., respectively. In addition, our constructions are shown to be secure under the learning with errors assumption in the standard model.

Sensory function and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis and pain (2005)

Central neuropathic pain is well known in multiple sclerosis (MS), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In the present study we studied sensory function in MS patients with pain, MS patients without pain and healthy subjects in order to clarify the role of sensory abnormalities in pain. Fifty MS patients with pain were randomly recruited from a previous epidemiological MS study in Aarhus County, Denmark. Age and gender stratified MS patients without pain (N=50) and healthy subjects (N=50) served as controls. Patients with pain underwent a structured pain interview. Sensory function was examined by bedside and quantitative sensory testing. Quality of life was assessed using the health-related quality of life questionnaire, SF-36. Patients with pain had lower pressure pain threshold than pain-free patients (260 kPa vs. 322 (median), P=0.02) otherwise quantitative sensory testing was similar. Pain patients more frequently had cold allodynia (9/50 vs. 0/50, P=0.003) and abnormal temporal summation (10/48 vs. 3/49, P=0.03). Fifty-eight percent had central pain. Central pain patients did not differ from musculoskeletal pain patients in quantitative sensory testing, but allodynia was more common in MS patients with central pain. Pain patients scored lower in all dimensions of SF-36 compared with pain-free patients and healthy subjects. The results suggest that pain in MS is central in more than half of the patients and is associated with mechanical or thermal hyperalgesia.
Protein kinase CK2 promotes aberrant activation of nuclear factor-kappaB, transformed phenotype, and survival of breast cancer cells. (2002)

The Her-2/neu oncogene, the second member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family, encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor. Overexpression of Her-2/neu in approximately 30% of breast cancers is associated with poor overall survival. Recently, we have found that Her-2/neu activates nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB via a phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3-K)-Akt kinase signaling pathway in mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)-Her-2/neu NF639 mouse breast cancer cells. Surprisingly, the IkappaB kinase (IKK) kinase complex, implicated in proteasome-mediated degradation of IkappaB-alpha and activation of NF-kappaB via the canonical pathway, was not activated in these cells. Degradation of IkappaB-alpha was mediated via calpain, which in B cells is facilitated by phosphorylation of IkappaB-alpha by the protein kinase CK2. Here, we report that the inhibition of CK2 blocks Her-2/neu-mediated activation of NF-kappaB. NF639 breast cancer cells, stably expressing CK2alpha or CK2alpha' kinase-inactive mutants, displayed decreased NF-kappaB binding and reduced ability to grow in soft agar, as well as increased sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha killing. Similarly, CK2 kinase-inactive subunits inhibited NF-kappaB activity in Hs578T human breast cancer cells, which also display elevated CK2 activity. In NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, which express low basal NF-kappaB and CK2 activities, overexpression of CK2 by retroviral gene delivery led to increased IkappaB-alpha turnover and the induction of classical NF-kappaB (p50/RelA). Thus, CK2 plays an important role in Her-2/neu signaling, promoting IkappaB-alpha degradation and, thereby, NF-kappaB activation. Furthermore, because ectopic CK2 activity appears sufficient to induce NF-kappaB, the elevated CK2 activity observed in many primary human breast cancers likely plays a role in aberrant activation of NF-kappaB and, therefore, represents a potential therapeutic target.
Joint relevance and freshness learning from clickthroughs for news search (2012)

In contrast to traditional Web search, where topical relevance is often the main selection criterion, news search is characterized by the increased importance of freshness. However, the estimation of relevance and freshness, and especially the relative importance of these two aspects, are highly specific to the query and the time when the query was issued. In this work, we propose a unified framework for modeling the topical relevance and freshness, as well as their relative importance, based on click logs. We use click statistics and content analysis techniques to define a set of temporal features, which predict the right mix of freshness and relevance for a given query. Experimental results on both historical click data and editorial judgments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Control of traffic lights in intersection: A new branch and bound approach (2008)

Nowadays, traffic signal control is becoming an important part of urban traffic control system, and providing an effective traffic signal control system for a large complex traffic network is becoming more and more challenging. In this paper, we propose a new approach to manage the urban traffic system. It is based on new technologies of recognizing vehicles and traffic lights. With this, we can treat each vehicle’s movement individually and it allows us to distinguish different kinds of vehicles such as public and emergency vehicles. Then we propose a Branch and Bound approach to control traffic lights in a simple intersection with the objective of minimizing the evacuation time of the intersection, and for a further step, improving the service quality of urban traffic.

Murine lymphoid procoagulant activity induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide and immune complexes is a monocyte prothrombinase (1982)

Murine lymphoid cells respond rapidly to bacterial lipopolysaccharide or antigen-antibody complexes to initiate or accelerate the blood coagulation pathways. The monocyte or macrophage has been identified as the cellular source, although lymphocyte collaboration is required for the rapid induction of the procoagulant response. This procoagulant activity is identified in the present study as a direct prothrombin activator, i.e., a prothrombinase. Studies with plasmas deficient in single coagulation factors demonstrate that the induced murine procoagulant activity effector molecule does not require factors XII, VIII, VII, X, or V, but does require prothrombin to transform fibrinogen to fibrin. This enzyme(s) produces limited proteolysis of prothrombin to yield thrombin or thrombinlike products that are functionally capable of converting fibrinogen to fibrin. The prothrombinase is undetectable in freshly isolated Murine lymphoid cells respond rapidly to bacterial lipopolysaccharide or antigen-antibody complexes to initiate or accelerate the blood coagulation pathways.

PREDICTION OF CETANE NUMBER OF BIODIESEL FUEL FROM THE FATTY ACID METHYL ESTER (FAME) COMPOSITION (2008)

Cetane number is an important parameter in evaluating the quality of biodiesel fuel. Its determination is usually arduous and expensive, and the results obtained are not always accurate due to experimental error. This work is aimed at deve- loping a relationship between the fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) composition and the cetane number (CN). Data were collected from the literature on the cetane number of various biodiesel fuels and their FAME composition. A regres- sion analysis was performed on pure FAME to establish a rela- tionship between the cetane number and FAME composition. An equation was developed relating the cetane number with the % composition by weight of FAME of biodiesel fuel. The pre- dicted cetane number values compare well with the average measured cetane number values. This work establishes the general dependence of cetane number on FAME composition of biodiesels.
Femtosecond Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy of Adenine-Thymine Base Pairs in DNA Oligomers (2011)

NH and NH(2) stretching excitations of adenine-thymine base pairs in double-stranded DNA oligomers are studied by femtosecond two-dimensional (2D) infrared spectrosopy. The 2D spectra taken for population times of up to T = 1 ps allow for separating the NH stretching mode of thymine from the symmetric and asymmetric NH(2) stretching modes of adenine and to determine their individual line shapes. The spectra demonstrate an essentially homogeneous broadening of the NH stretching band of thymine whereas the NH(2) stretching modes display a pronounced, time-independent inhomogeneous broadening, pointing to disorder in the DNA structure. We observe a (downhill) vibrational energy transfer from the asymmetric NH(2) stretching vibration of adenine at 3350 cm(-1) to the NH stretching mode of thymine at 3200 cm(-1) on a ∼500 fs time scale whereas the inverse (uphill) transfer is negligible.
Multivariable Trend Analysis Using Neural Networks for Intelligent Diagnostics of Rotating Machinery (1997)

The objective of this paper is the development of an efficient intelligent diagnostic procedure that considers several diagnostic indices for the quantification of developing faults and for monitoring machine condition. In this procedure, the condition monitoring is performed based on the on-line vibration measurements, and further, the fault quantification is formulated into a multivariate trend analysis. Self-organizing neural networks are then deployed to perform the multivariable trending of the fault development. The attributes for the disordering of “knots” in the trend analysis are determined. The disordering of neural network units is then eliminated by suitably altering the self-organizing neural network algorithm. Applications of this diagnostic procedure to the condition monitoring and life estimation of a bearing system are fully developed and demonstrated. The efficiency and advantages of the intelligent diagnostic procedure in precisely monitoring and quantifying the fault development are systematically brought out considering this bearing system.
Growth Characteristics of <i>Heterosigma akashiwo</i> Virus and Its Possible Use as a Microbiological Agent for Red Tide Control (1999)

The growth characteristics of Heterosigma akashiwo virus clone 01 (HaV01) were examined by performing a one-step growth experiment. The virus had a latent period of 30 to 33 h and a burst size of 7.7 x 10(2) lysis-causing units in an infected cell. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the virus particles formed on the peripheries of viroplasms, as observed in a natural H. akashiwo cell. Inoculation of HaV01 into a mixed algal culture containing four phytoplankton species, H. akashiwo H93616, Chattonella antiqua (a member of the family Raphidophyceae), Heterocapsa triquetra (a member of the family Dinophyceae), and Ditylum brightwellii (a member of the family Bacillariophyceae), resulted in selective growth inhibition of H. akashiwo. Inoculation of HaV01 and H. akashiwo H93616 into a natural seawater sample produced similar results. However, a natural H. akashiwo red tide sample did not exhibit any conspicuous sensitivity to HaV01, presumably because of the great diversity of the host species with respect to virus infection. The growth characteristics of the lytic virus infecting the noxious harmful algal bloom-causing alga were considered, and the possibility of using this virus as a microbiological agent against H. akashiwo red tides is discussed.
Light‐Responsive Capture and Release of DNA in a Ternary Supramolecular Complex (2011)

The wavelength determines whether DNA is captured in a light-responsive ternary supramolecular complex or released (see scheme). The reversible binding of DNA is triggered by a photoisomerization, which switches the complex from a multivalent to a monovalent binding mode.

Application of new alteration attack on biometric authentication systems (2015)

Biometrics-based authentication systems are presented as an alternative solution to the traditional authentication techniques, these systems have more security advantages compared to a password as biometric data cannot be forgotten or wasted. However, the protection of biometric systems against different types of attacks is not yet guaranteed. While many studies are proposed in order to increase the security of biometric systems, several attacks are developed in order to exploit the weaknesses of these systems. In this paper, we present a new alteration attack on biometric authentication systems. We suppose that the impostor has altered image of the real user and he presents it as request in order to gain unlawful access to the system. Altered image can be recuperated from a fingerprint trace in case of fingerprint based systems or user photograph for attacking face based authentication systems. Next, we study the impact of alteration level on the matching score for fingerprint and face based biometric systems. Our analysis shows that both systems are vulnerable to the proposed attack and the alteration level has serious impact on the security of biometric systems. The impostor can have a matching score greater than 90% for the tested fingerprint based biometric system and 190/194 associations are matched for the tested face based biometric authentication system.
An efficient fine granularity scalable coding scheme using adaptive leaky prediction (2004)

In this paper, we propose a novel method, which makes use of the advantages of bit-plane coding technique of fine granularity scalability (FGS) video coding scheme, and applies adaptive leaky factors for the enhancement layer prediction to further improve the coding efficiency. A flexible method that can dynamically determine the leaky factor values is also presented. Experimental results show that the proposed method can further improve the coding efficiency, and still keep the original characteristics, such as fine granularity, and bandwidth adaptation.

Delayed wound healing and disorganized neovascularization in transgenic mice expressing the IP-10 chemokine. (1998)

IP-10 is a member of the alpha or cysteine-X amino acid-cysteine (CXC) chemokine family of chemotactic cytokines. High levels of IP-10 expression have been detected in a number of chronic human inflammatory conditions, including psoriasis, a common inflammatory disease of the skin. IP-10 has been shown to chemoattract activated T cells, inhibit the proliferation of endothelial cells, and inhibit the growth of tumors in vivo. To determine the capacity of IP-10 to modulate the inflammatory response in vivo, we have created transgenic mice that constitutively express IP-10 from keratinocytes. These mice developed normally and, in general, did not spontaneously recruit leukocytes into the skin or other organs that expressed the transgene. In addition, the transgenic mice had a normal cutaneous contact hypersensitivity cellular immune response. However, IP-10 transgenic mice had an abnormal wound healing response characterized by a more intense inflammatory phase and a prolonged and disorganized granulation phase with impaired blood vessel formation. These results have demonstrated that IP-10 can inhibit the neovascularization associated with a physiological response in vivo and have revealed a novel biologic activity of IP-10 as an inhibitor of wound healing.

Sinterability of Submicron SiC Prepared from Siliconization of Carbon Black under Presence of Al Additives (1979)

金属AlあるいはAl化合物を添加してSi, SiOあるいはSiO2でカーボンブラックをケイ化した. この調製法で得たSiC粉末の比表面積測定, Al定量分析及びX線回折から, SiOとSiO2を用いて得た両粉末ではAl添加によって比表面積の増加及び2H多形の生成を生じたことが判明した. これらの粉末は少量のホウ素と炭素の添加により約1900℃以下の温度で理論密度の90%以上へ常圧で焼結できた. このような易焼結性は2Hの固相内転移に伴う原子の移動度の増大 (いわゆるHedvall効果) あるいは液相り存在によってもたらされたと考えられた. 低温焼結体の特徴はほぼ等量の3Cと4H多形から成ることであった.
