Peres-Horodecki Separability Criterion for Continuous Variable Systems (2000)

The Peres-Horodecki criterion of positivity under partial transpose is studied in the context of separability of bipartite continuous variable states. The partial transpose operation admits, in the continuous case, a geometric interpretation as mirror reflection in phase space. This recognition leads to uncertainty principles, stronger than the traditional ones, to be obeyed by all separable states. For all bipartite Gaussian states, the Peres-Horodecki criterion turns out to be a necessary and sufficient condition for separability.
Occlusal status and permanent teeth eruption in Libyan children. (1994)

The occlusal status was assessed in 2015 Libyan children. Angle class I was found to be the predominant type (94.5%), overbite relationship in the majority (50.6%) were within the incisal third. The mean overjet measurements ranged from 2 mm. to 8 mm. Small proportion (13.4%) of the children examined were assessed to have a signs of crowding. Only 18.7% of the children were found to require orthodontic treatment. Eruption of permanent teeth was earlier in girls than in boys. The interval of rest between the mandibular lateral incisors and canines was 2.68 years for boys and 2.76 years for girls.

Premedication with sublingual buprenorphine for out‐patient arthroscopy: reduced need for postoperative pethidine but higher incidence of nausea (1995)

The effect of preoperative sublingual buprenorphine (B) on postoperative pain (VAS), the need for postoperative opioid injections and on time to discharge, was evaluated in a prospective randomised double-blind study. Forty ASA I-II patients scheduled for arthroscopy of the knee received premedication with 0.4 mg buprenorphine (group B) and 42 patients were given placebo (group P). Postoperatively, pethidine was given to patients with pain. Three of the 40 patients in group B vs 11 of the 42 in group P received pethidine (P < 0.05). In group B, however, 13 of the 40 patients complained of nausea, prolonging median time to discharge from 155 to 255 minutes (P < 0.05). In group P, 3 of the 42 patients were nauseated, P < 0.01, compared with group B. Time to discharge did not differ between the groups in patients without nausea. The median respiratory rate was significantly lower in group B, but no patient required ventilatory support. In conclusion, premedication with sublingual buprenorphine cannot be recommended for this procedure. It reduces the need for postoperative injections of pethidine but increases the incidence of postoperative nausea which prolongs the recovery time. Careful monitoring is also mandatory because of the possibility of respiratory depression.

EFFECT OF TACK COAT ON BINDING CHARACTERISTICS AT INTERFACE BETWEEN ASPHALT CONCRETE LAYERS (1997)

The effect of a tack coat on the bond between asphalt concrete layers was investigated. First, the stresses at the interface caused by aircraft loads were calculated. Second, the effect of using a tack coat was evaluated by examining samples taken from in-service airport pavements. Third, laboratory tests were conducted to investigate how bonding characteristics were influenced by dirt adhering to the existing surfaces. Finally, measures to ensure sufficient bonding were developed. The following conclusions were obtained. The interval between the construction of the wearing and binder courses influences the bond strength: the strength decreases as the interval increases because dirt accumulates on the binder course. Adhesion between the courses can be improved by applying a tack coat. The curing time of the tack coat, however, also influences the strength, and the strength after one hour of curing is much less than that after 24 hours of curing. However, satisfactory strength can be obtained by using a newly developed tack coat. In addition, the structural integrity of the surface course can be ensured by introducing a thick lift construction procedure.
Activation of high levels of endogenous phospholipase A2 in cultured cells. (1979)

Activatable cellular phospholipase A2 (PLase; phosphatide 2-acyl-hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.4) has been proposed to constitute the first and rate-limiting step in prostaglandin synthesis and to regulate membrane function by altering the levels in the membrane of the detergent lipids lysolecithin and free fatty acids. We have observed that a wide variety of cells in culture contain high levels of endogenous PLase that can be activated by polypeptide toxins, such as melittin purified from bee venom and direct lytic factor purified from the venom of African Ringhals cobra (Hemachatus hemachatus). Activation of PLase by sublytic concentrations of these agents results in the synthesis and release of prostaglandins. Melittin concentrations greater than or equal to 10 microgram/ml activate sufficient PLase in 3T3-4a mouse fibroblasts to hydrolyze 10% of the cellular lecithin in less than 5 min and virtually all of it within 30 min, demonstrating the existence of sufficient activatable PLase to provide the basis for the proposed mechanism of regulation of membrane function by alteration of membrane lipid composition. Lipases, phospholipases B and C, and sphingomyelinases are not activated by melittin. The PLase activated in 3T3-4a cells exhibits little, if any, specificity for individual phosphoglycerides. The PLase activated by direct lytic factor exhibits a Ca2+ dependence characteristic of lysosomal PLase, wherease the Ca2+ dependence of PLase activated by melittin is consistent with the activation of a cell-surface enzyme. The extent of cell death correlates with percent of maximal PLase activation.

VMPP: a virtual machine for parallel processing (2002)

In the field of parallel processing, there is a great diversity of languages and architectures which become obsolete at a rapid pace. In this environment, portability is an important issue. Unfortunately, most parallel languages are not portable. This portability problem can be solved using a virtual machine approach. In this approach, front-end translators translate various parallel source languages into code for a virtual machine. Back-end translators translate the virtual machine code into executable codes for a variety of parallel architectures. The Virtual Machine for Parallel Processing (VMPP) is designed to provide portability for a variety of high-level parallel programming languages without significantly sacrificing performance.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Test Generation for Microprocessors (1980)

The goal of this paper is to develop test generation procedures for testing microprocessors in a user environment. Classical fault detection methods based on the gate and flip-flop level or on the state diagram level description of microprocessors are not suitable for test generation. The problem is further compounded by the availability of a large variety of microprocessors which differ widely in their organization, instruction repertoire, addressing modes, data storage, and manipulation facilities, etc. In this paper, a general graph-theoretic model is developed at the register transfer level. Any microprocessor can be easily modeled using information only about its instruction set and the functions performed. This information is readily available in the user's manual. A fault model is developed on a functional level quite independent of the implementation details. The effects of faults in the fault model are investigated at the level of the graph-theoretic model. Test generation procedures are proposed which take the microprocessor organization and the instruction set as parameters and generate tests to detect all the faults in the fault model. The complexity of the test sequences measured in terms of the number of instructions is given. Our effort in generating tests for a real microprocessor and evaluating their fault coverage is described.

Identifying Topology of Power Distribution Networks Based on Smart Meter\n Data (2016)

In a power distribution network, the network topology information is\nessential for an efficient operation of the network. This information of\nnetwork connectivity is not accurately available, at the low voltage level, due\nto uninformed changes that happen from time to time. In this paper, we propose\na novel data--driven approach to identify the underlying network topology\nincluding the load phase connectivity from time series of energy measurements.\nThe proposed method involves the application of Principal Component Analysis\n(PCA) and its graph-theoretic interpretation to infer the topology from smart\nmeter energy measurements. The method is demonstrated through simulation on\nrandomly generated networks and also on IEEE recognized Roy Billinton\ndistribution test system.\n

Rethinking the pipeline as object-oriented states with transformations (2004)

The pipeline is a simple and intuitive structure to speed up many problems. Novice parallel programmers are usually taught this structure early on. However, expert parallel programmers typically eschew using the pipeline in coarse-grained applications because it has three serious problems that make it difficult to implement efficiently. First, processors are idle when the pipeline is not full. Second, load balancing is crucial to obtaining good speedup. Third, it is difficult to incrementally incorporate more processors into an existing pipeline. Instead, experts recast the problem as a master/slave structure which does not suffer from these problems. This paper details a transformation that allows programs written in a pipeline style to execute using the master/slave structure. Parallel programmers can benefit from both the intuitive simplicity of the pipeline and the efficient execution of a master/slave structure. This is demonstrated by performance results from two applications.
Integrated microsystems for continuous glucose monitoring, interstitial fluid sampling and digital microfluidics (2020)

Interdisciplinary research between medicine and microsystem engineering creates new possibilities to improve the quality of life of patients or to further enhance the performance of already existing devices. In particular, microsystems show great potential for the realization of biosensors and sampling devices to monitor bioanalytes with minimal patient discomfort. Microneedles offer a minimally invasive and painless solution to penetrate the epidermis and provide access to dermal interstitial fluid (ISF), to monitor various substances without the need for more invasive and painful extraction of blood. Diabetes, for example, requires continuous monitoring of the glucose levels in the body (CGM) to avoid complications. Although glucose is traditionally measured in finger-prick blood, CGM, which is performed in ISF, has been proven to be beneficial in the management of the disease. However, current commercial solutions are still relatively large and invasive. In this work, an electrochemical glucose sensor 50 times smaller than competing commercial devices was combined with a hollow silicon microneedle and shown to be able to measure glucose levels in the dermis in vivo. A scalable manufacturing method for the assembly of the two separately fabricated components and their electrical interconnection was also demonstrated. At the same time, a single data point may be sufficient in other situations, such as when only the presence of a certain biomarker or drug needs to be assessed. Although continuous monitoring is not required in these cases, the patient would still benefit by avoiding blood extraction. However, there are no simple devices currently available to reliably sample and store ISF. A painless microneedle-based sampling device designed to extract 1 μL of ISF from the dermis was realized. The sampled liquid is metered and stored in a paper matrix embedded in a microfluidic chip. The sample could then be analyzed using state-of-the-art tools, such as mass spectrometry.On the other hand, device miniaturization also creates issues for sensor performance. In certain types of electrochemical gas sensors, such as nitric oxide sensors used for asthma monitoring, the reduced size results in a shorter device lifetime. These sensors typically operate with a liquid electrolyte, subject to evaporation, and their long-term stability tends to be proportional to the electrode size. To address this issue, a gas diffusion and evaporation controlling platform to be integrated with this type of sensors was proposed. Such a platform opens or seals the sensing compartment on demand, potentially enabling sensor recalibration and evaporation reduction when the sensor is not in use. The device is based on electrowetting-on-dielectric actuation of low-vapor-pressure ionic liquid microdroplets on partially perforated membranes. The platform was then modified to create a zero-insertion loss and broad-band-operation laser shutter.

Radar cross section model optimisation using genetic algorithms (1997)

Many missile-target simulation systems use random numbers to mimic the effects of a fluctuating target radar cross section (RCS) in an attempt to minimise simulation times. In this paper a genetic algorithm is used to optimise the complexity of a point-scatterer model with a realistic radar cross section, ultimately allowing real measured data to be used in simulations. The performance of the genetic algorithm is compared against an iterative optimisation method and a known optimum solution. The radar cross section models described in this paper are designed to be used with a synthetic homing guidance missile in 3-dimensional virtual engagement scenarios. The models allow measured RCS data to be combined with synthetic RCS details, creating a realistic target radar cross section with 4/spl pi/ steradian coverage.

Observations of two-dimensional magnetic field evolution in a plasma opening switch (1998)

The time dependent magnetic field distribution was studied in a coaxial 100-ns positive-polarity Plasma Opening Switch (POS) by observing the Zeeman effect in ionic line emission. Measurements local in three dimensions are obtained by doping the plasma using laser evaporation techniques. Fast magnetic field penetration with a relatively sharp magnetic field front (⩽1 cm) is observed at the early stages of the pulse (t≲25). Later in the pulse, the magnetic field is observed at the load-side edge of the plasma, leaving “islands” of low magnetic field at the plasma center that last for about 10 ns. The two-dimensional (2-D) structure of the magnetic field in the r,z plane is compared to the results of an analytical model based on electron-magneto-hydrodynamics, that utilizes the measured 2-D plasma density distribution and assumes fast magnetic field penetration along both POS electrodes. The model results provide quantitative explanation for the magnetic field evolution observed.
HTML and XHTML (2000)

HTML is changing so fast it's almost impossible to keep up with developments. XHTML is HTML 4.0 rewritten in XML; it provides the precision of XML while retaining the flexibility of HTML. HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition, brings it all together. It's the most comprehensive book available on HTML and XHTML today. It covers Netscape Navigator 6.0, Internet Explorer 5.0, HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, JavaScript, Style sheets, Layers, and all of the features supported by the popular web browsers. Learning HTML and XHTML is like learning any new language, computer or human. Most students first immerse themselves in examples. Studying others is a natural way to learn, making learning easy and fun. Imitation can take learning only so far, though. It's as easy to learn bad habits through imitation as it is to acquire good ones. The better way to become HTML-fluent is through a comprehensive reference that covers the language syntax, semantics, and variations in detail and demonstrates the difference between good and bad usage. HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition, helps in both ways: the authors cover every element of HTML/XHTML in detail, explaining how each element works and how it interacts with other elements. Many hints about HTML/XHTML style smooth the way for writing documents that range from simple online documentation to complex presentations. With hundreds of examples, the book gives web authors models for writing their own effective web pages and for mastering advanced features, like style sheets and frames. HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition, shows how to: Implement the XHTML 1.0 standard and prepare web pages for the transition to XML browsersUse style sheets and layers to control a document's appearanceCreate tables, from simple to complexUse frames to coordinate sets of documentsDesign and build interactive forms and dynamic documentsInsert images, sound files, video, Java applets, and JavaScript programsCreate documents that look good on a variety of browsers The book comes with a handy quick reference card listing HTML tags.
Vitiligo puzzle: the pieces fall in place (2007)

Over the years, the role of biochemical, immunological, genetic, and other biological aspects in the pathogenesis of vitiligo has been studied. So far, no convincing model describing the interplay of these contributing factors has been formulated. Based on existing research, we propose that vitiligo has a multi-factorial etiology, characterized by multiple steps, but always involving an increase of external or internal phenol/catechol concentration, serving as a preferred surrogate substrate of tyrosinase, competing with its physiological substrate tyrosine. The conversion of these substrates into reactive quinones is reinforced by a disturbed redox balance (increasing hydrogen peroxide). Such reactive quinones can be covalently bound to the catalytic centre of tyrosinase (haptenation). This could give rise to a new antigen, carried by Langerhans cells to the regional lymph node, stimulating the proliferation of cytotoxic T cells. However, the activation of such cytotoxic cells is only a first step in skin melanocyte killing, which also depends on a shift in the balance between immune defence and tolerance, e.g. resulting from a decrease in properly functioning T-regulatory cells. With this new model, based on a synthesis of several of the existing theories, in mind, the external and internal factors involved in the etiopathogenesis of vitiligo are reviewed, against the background of reported clinical data, experimental studies and existing and potential new therapies. A similar complex mechanism may also lead to some other autoimmune diseases.
PFT-CCKP: A proactive fault tolerance mechanism for data center network (2015)

Exiting schemes rarely take into account coordinated problem among multiple virtual machines (VMs) which collectively complete a task, since if these VMs are uncoordinated, the execution results of a task are not correct. To solve the problem, we first exploit a proactive prediction scheme to predict the VM's status. Then, if VM's status is deteriorating, coordinated checkpoint is adopted to suspend the current task to search an optimal target host. Finally, we introduce an efficient heuristic algorithm to solve the optimal target host selection problem. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed approach.
