Sparse ternary connect: Convolutional neural networks using ternarized weights with enhanced sparsity (2018)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are indispensable in a wide range of tasks to achieve state-of-the-art results. In this work, we exploit ternary weights in both inference and training of CNNs and further propose Sparse Ternary Connect (STC) where kernel weights in float value are converted to 1, -1 and 0 based on a new conversion rule with the controlled ratio of 0. STC can save hardware resource a lot with small degradation of precision. The experimental evaluation on 2 popular datasets (CIFAR-10 and SVHN) shows that the proposed method can reduce resource utilization (by 28.9% of LUT, 25.3% of FF, 97.5% of DSP and 88.7% of BRAM on Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA) with less than 0.5% accuracy loss.

Toward the creation of a new medium for the multimedia era (1998)

It is expected that various new types of telecommunications services will emerge based on multimedia technologies. A concept of hypercommunication is proposed that merges human communication in cyberspace involving various people in different places, different times, and even different cultures, as well as communication with human-like agents generated by computers. Technologies necessary to realize this new telecommunications concept are described along with several research examples being done at ATR Media Integration and Communications Research Laboratories.

<scp>CDK</scp>7 inhibition suppresses rheumatoid arthritis inflammation <i>via</i> blockage of <scp>NF</scp>‐κB activation and <scp>IL</scp>‐1β/<scp>IL</scp>‐6 secretion (2017)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by joint swelling, joint tenderness and destruction of synovial joints, leading to severe disability. Anti-inflammatory drugs and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may improve RA process. However, in most patients the treatment effect is still not satisfactory. Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) plays a well-established role in the regulation of the eukaryotic cell division cycle, and recent studies indicated that it exerted anti-inflammatory effect. In our previous research, we found that inhibition of CDK7 by highly selective inhibitor BS-181 significantly impeded the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice. However, the underlying mechanism of CDK7 in RA remains to be explored. We elucidated the molecular mechanism of CDK7 inhibition in RA inflammation by administration of CDK7 highly selective inhibitor BS-181 and siRNA-CDK7. We found that both IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and RANKL transcript levels and IL-1β/IL-6 secretion were effectively suppressed by BS-181 treatment as well as CDK7 knockdown. Furthermore, CDK7 inhibition prevented NF-κB signalling pathway activation and restrained p65 nuclear translocation. Moreover, CDK7 selective inhibitor BS-181 also blocked phosphorylation of p65 in MH7A cells. These results strongly indicate that CDK7 inhibition by BS-181 and siRNA-CDK7 significantly suppresses rheumatoid arthritis inflammation, which may be via blockage of NF-κB signalling pathway and IL-1β/IL-6 secretion.
Evaluation of Recently Described Tests for Detection of the Lupus Anticoagulant (1994)

It is known that lupus anticoagulants (LA) are antibodies which interfere with phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests, but due to the heterogeneity of LA and the differences in sensitivity of reagents and tests, the diagnosis of LA remains difficult. Recently, Triplett et al. (26) have proposed a new test based on two venoms, Textarin (T) and Ecarin (E), that activate prothrombin but differ in their phospholipid requirements. By testing this new assay we have evaluated 36 patient plasmas containing LA according to standard tests (activated partial thromboplastin time, dilute Russell viper venom time and platelet neutralization procedure) and our results confirm a high sensitivity for LA of the T/E test. In addition, we observed a greater sensitivity of the tissue thromboplastin inhibition test using a recombinant thromboplastin instead of a human placenta thromboplastin. Our study also showed that the T/E test seems to be a useful assay in confirming the diagnosis of LA in patients with an unexplained prolonged APTT.
Probiotics Reduce Enterohemorrhagic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157:H7- and Enteropathogenic <i>E. coli</i> O127:H6-Induced Changes in Polarized T84 Epithelial Cell Monolayers by Reducing Bacterial Adhesion and Cytoskeletal Rearrangements (2005)

The aim of this study was to determine if probiotics reduce epithelial injury following exposure to Escherichia coli O157:H7 and E. coli O127:H6. The pretreatment of intestinal (T84) cells with lactic acid-producing bacteria reduced the pathogen-induced drop in transepithelial electrical resistance. These findings demonstrate that probiotics prevent epithelial injury induced by attaching-effacing bacteria.

Model and representation (1999)

User interfaces for color selection consist of a visible screen representation, an input method, and the underlying conceptual organization of the color model. We report a two-way factorial, between-subjects variable experiment that tested the effect of high and low visual feedback interfaces on speed and accuracy of color matching for RGB and HSV color models. The only significant effect was improved accuracy due to increased visual feedback. Using color groups as a within-subjects variable, we found differences in performance of both speed and accuracy. We recommend that experimental tests adopt a color test set that does not show bias toward a particular model, but is based instead on a range of colors that would be most likely matched in practice by people using color selection software. We recomment the Macbeth Color Checker naturals, primaries, and grays. As a follow-up study, a qualitative case analysis of the way users navigated through the color space indicates that feedback helps users with limited knowledge of the model, allowing them to refine their match to a higher degree of accuracy. Users with very little or a lot of knowledge of the color model do not appear to be aided by increased feedback. In conclusion, we suggest that visual feedback and design of the interface may be a more important factor in improving the usability of a color selection interface than the particular color model used.
Analysis of the welding strength in hybrid polypropylene composites as a function of the forming and overmolding parameters (2017)

This work investigates the influence of the process parameters on the welding strength in hybrid polypropylene composites manufactured by injection overmolding. A hybrid T‐joint specimen was designed to evaluate the global performance of the welding by means of tensile tests. The effects of the process parameters were evaluated in accordance the design of experiments approach and the maximum strength (UTS) was assumed as response variable. The effects of melt temperature and holding pressure, combined to a variothermal mold‐control system, were investigated. The residual stresses induced by the process were considered by means of coupled thermo‐fluid dynamic/structural finite‐element analysis. Moreover, the topography of the laminate‐side surface was characterized and the process‐induced surface modification was related to the performance of the welding. Results show that the melt temperature contributes to increase the welding strength; conversely, the mold temperature counteracts this effect by increasing the residual stress at the interface.

Finite volume model for forced flow/thermal gradient chemical vapor infiltration (1991)

The forced flow/thermal gradient chemical vapor infiltration process (FCVI) has proven to be a successfully technique for fabrication of ceramic matrix composites. It is particularly attractive for thick components which cannot be fabricated using the conventional, isothermal method (ICVI). Although it offers processing times that are at least an order of magnitude shorter than ICVI, FCVI has not been used to fabricate parts of complex geometry and is perceived by many to be unsuitable for such components. The major concern is that selection and control of the flow pattern and thermal profile for optimum infiltration can be a difficult and costly exercise. In order to reduce this effort, we are developing a computer model for FCVI that simulates the densification process for given component geometry, reactor configuration and operating parameters. Used by a process engineer, this model can dramatically reduce the experimental effort needed to obtain uniform densification.
Smad4 (homolog of human DPC4) and Smad2 (homolog of human JV18-1): candidates for murine lung tumor resistance and suppressor genes (1997)

In this study we investigated the mouse mad-related genes, Smad4/Dpc4 and Smad2 (homolog of JV18-1), as candidates for involvement in lung tumor resistance and suppression. These genes are located in a region of mouse chromosome 18 that is syntenic with human 18q21.1, where several genes that are mutated in various cancers have been mapped. A newly identified murine lung tumor resistance locus, Par2 has also been mapped to this region of chromosome 18. We found no mutations in the coding regions of either gene in 11 lung tumors from B6CF1 (C57BL/6 x BALB/c) mice by RT-PCR and SSCP/RFLP, suggesting that these genes are not mutated in lung carcinogenesis in this strain. Moreover, loss of heterozygosity in this region of chromosome 18 was not detected in 28 lung adenocarcinomas from B6CF1 mice, 17 lung adenocarcinomas from B6C3F1 mice or 18 lung adenocarcinomas from AB6F1 mice. These data provide evidence that a 'classical' tumor suppressor gene for mouse lung carcinogenesis in these strains does not reside in this region. In order to investigate Smad4/Dpc4 and Smad2 as candidates for the Par2 resistance locus mapped to this region, we also sequenced the coding regions of both genes in cDNA from normal lungs of A/J, BALB/c and C57BL/6 inbred strains of mice. No polymorphisms were detected in the coding region of Smad4. In Smad2, two sequence polymorphisms were identified that are not in the conserved regions of the gene. Northern blot analysis revealed no differential expression in normal lung tissue among the three strains for either gene. Thus, in this study we found no evidence that either Smad4 or Smad2 represents the Par2 lung tumor resistance locus or is a lung tumor suppressor gene in the B6CF1 mice.

Perceptron reranking for CCG realization (2009)

This paper shows that discriminative reranking with an averaged perceptron model yields substantial improvements in realization quality with CCG. The paper confirms the utility of including language model log probabilities as features in the model, which prior work on discriminative training with log linear models for HPSG realization had called into question. The perceptron model allows the combination of multiple n-gram models to be optimized and then augmented with both syntactic features and discriminative n-gram features. The full model yields a state-of-the-art BLEU score of 0.8506 on Section 23 of the CCGbank, to our knowledge the best score reported to date using a reversible, corpus-engineered grammar.
<title>Constitutive and failure models for relaxor ferroelectric ceramics</title> (1996)

A non-linear constitutive model for relaxor ferroelectrics developed by Hom and Shankar is examined and verified with electromechanical experiments. This model links polarization and strain to the electric field and stress in an electrostrictive material. A set of tests were performed to study the quasi-static electrical behavior of PMN-PT-BT materials under prestress. Another set of tests investigate the effect of DC electric field on the elastic modulus of the material. The results show excellent correlation between the predicted behavior of the model and the experiments. Failure models for electrostrictive ceramic materials are presented which address the issues of actuator reliability. The constitutive model of Hom and Shankar is incorporated into a nonlinear finite element code. A new finite element technique for computing the J-Integral for cracks in electromechanical materials is developed. This technique is based on the domain integral method and computes both the mechanical and electrical contributions to the energy release rate. The finite element code and the J-Integral computation are used to study crack growth in multilayered electrostrictive ceramic actuators.
Hydrogen-antihydrogen interactions (1975)

Accurate quantum-mechanical calculations on the system hydrogen-antihydrogen ($\mathrm{H}\overline{\mathrm{H}}$) are presented. The energy is calculated using the Ritz variational principle, and is obtained as a function of the proton-antiproton distance in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. It is everywhere lower and therefore more accurate than that recently calculated by Junker and Bardsley. In particular, the maximum in the interatomic interaction reported by these authors is not seen in this calculation. The cross section for rearrangement annihilation is calculated and found to be uniformly larger than that reported by Junker and Bardsley.
A Prospective Study of the Effectiveness of the New Zealand Meningococcal B Vaccine (2007)

The effectiveness of a new group B strain-specific meningococcal vaccine referred to as "MeNZB," developed by Chiron Vaccines (Siena, Italy) in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, was assessed in a prospective observational study following a nationwide vaccination program in New Zealand. The vaccination program began in July 2004, and the study uses data from January 2001 to June 2006. A generalized estimating equation model was used to estimate vaccine effectiveness that included potential confounding variables, such as disease progression over time, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, seasonality, and geographic region. The model provides strong statistical evidence for a vaccine effect (p < 0.0001), with estimated disease rates 3.7 times higher in the unvaccinated group than in the vaccinated group (95% confidence interval: 2.1, 6.8) and a vaccine effectiveness of 73% (95% confidence interval: 52, 85). An estimated 54 epidemic strain meningococcal cases were prevented in the 2 years since the vaccination program began (95% confidence interval assuming a fixed population size: 22, 115). In a sensitivity analysis, these estimates proved to be robust to modeling assumptions, including population estimates, estimates of the numbers vaccinated, effects of partial vaccination, and temporal autocorrelation.
Intelligent control of via formation by photosensitive BCB for MCM-L/D applications (1999)

Via formation is a critical process sequence in multichip module (MCM) manufacturing, as it greatly impacts yield, density, and reliability. To achieve low-cost manufacturing, modeling, optimization, and control of via formation are crucial. In this paper, a model-based supervisory control algorithm is developed and applied to reduce undesirable behavior resulting from various process disturbances. A series of designed experiments are used to characterize the via formation workcell (which consists of the spin coat, soft bake, expose, develop, cure, and plasma descum unit process steps). The output characteristics considered are film thickness, uniformity, film retention, and via yield. Sequential neural network process models are used for system identification, and hybrid genetic algorithms are applied to synthesize process recipes. Computer simulation results show excellent control of output response shift and drift, resulting in a reduction of process variation. The performance limits of the supervisory control system are investigated based on these simulation results. The control algorithm is verified experimentally, and the results show 82.6, 64.4, and 17.3% improvements in maintaining target via yield, film thickness, and film uniformity, respectively, as compared to open loop operation.
Eosinophil adhesion to nasal polyp endothelium is P-selectin-dependent. (1994)

Tissue eosinophilia is a characteristic feature of a number of inflammatory diseases including asthma and nasal polyposis. Eosinophil migration into tissues is controlled in part by interactions between eosinophil adhesion receptors and counter-structures on the vascular endothelium. To determine the receptors used by eosinophils to adhere to vascular endothelium in allergic inflammation we have adapted the Stamper-Woodruff frozen section assay (FSA) to study eosinophil adhesion to nasal polyp endothelium. Immunohistology indicated that intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), E-selectin and P-selectin were well expressed by nasal polyp endothelium, whereas expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) was weak or absent. Unstimulated human peripheral blood eosinophils adhered specifically to nasal polyp endothelium. Adherence was temperature and divalent cation-dependent and saturable at cell densities > 5 x 10(6) cells/ml. Eosinophil adhesion was almost completely inhibited by a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against P-selectin and by a chimeric molecule consisting of the Fc portion of human IgG and the lectin binding domain of P-selectin, which binds to the P-selectin ligand on leucocytes. Anti-Mac-1 mAb partially inhibited eosinophil adhesion whereas mAb against E-selectin, L-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, very late activation antigen 4, and lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 had no effect. P-selectin is stored in intracellular granules within the endothelial cell and in vitro is only transiently expressed. To determine if P-selectin was expressed on the membrane of the nasal polyp endothelium we compared P-selectin expression in normal skin and nasal polyps after acetone fixation, which permeabilizes cells, and paraformaldehyde, which only allows staining of membrane expressed receptors. In the skin, good expression was seen with acetone fixation but no expression was seen after paraformaldehyde treatment, whereas in nasal polyps, similar expression was observed with both fixatives. In addition immunofluorescence with confocal microscopy demonstrated lumenal staining of nasal polyp endothelium indicating that P-selectin was located on the surface of endothelial cells while in skin only an intracellular granular distribution was apparent. Lastly, whereas eosinophils bound consistently to nasal polyp endothelium, no binding was observed to blood vessels in normal skin further supporting the idea that eosinophils were binding to membrane expressed and not intracellular P-selectin. The importance of P-selectin in eosinophil adhesion to nasal polyp endothelium suggests that P-selectin antagonists may be effective at inhibiting eosinophil accumulation at sites of allergic inflammation.
Chronic rejection: the next major challenge for pancreas transplant recipients (2003)

As short-term pancreas transplant results improve and as isolated (PAK or PTA) pancreas transplants gain in popularity, CR will become increasingly common as a cause of pancreas graft loss.
