Media Revenue Management with Audience Uncertainty: Balancing Upfront and Spot Market Sales (2009)

An important challenge faced by media broadcasting companies is how to allocate limited advertising space between upfront (forward) contracts and the spot market (referred to in advertising as the scatter market) to maximize profits and meet contractual commitments. We develop stylized optimization models of airtime capacity planning and allocation across multiple clients under audience uncertainty. In a short-term profit maximizing setting, our results provide insight for capacity planning decisions upfront and during the broadcasting season. Our results suggest that broadcasting companies should prioritize upfront clients according to marginal revenue per audience unit. We find that accepted upfront market contracts can be aggregated across clients and served in proportion to the audience demanded. Closed-form solutions are obtained in a static setting. These results remain valid in a dynamic setting, when considering the opportunity to increase allocation by airing make-goods during the broadcasting season. Our structural results characterize the impact of contracting parameters, time, and audience uncertainty on profits and capacity decisions. The results hold under general audience and spot market profit models. Overall, we find that ignoring audience uncertainty can have a significant cost for media capacity planning and allocation.
Long-term music training tunes how the brain temporally binds signals from multiple senses (2011)

Practicing a musical instrument is a rich multisensory experience involving the integration of visual, auditory, and tactile inputs with motor responses. This combined psychophysics-fMRI study used the musician's brain to investigate how sensory-motor experience molds temporal binding of auditory and visual signals. Behaviorally, musicians exhibited a narrower temporal integration window than nonmusicians for music but not for speech. At the neural level, musicians showed increased audiovisual asynchrony responses and effective connectivity selectively for music in a superior temporal sulcus-premotor-cerebellar circuitry. Critically, the premotor asynchrony effects predicted musicians' perceptual sensitivity to audiovisual asynchrony. Our results suggest that piano practicing fine tunes an internal forward model mapping from action plans of piano playing onto visible finger movements and sounds. This internal forward model furnishes more precise estimates of the relative audiovisual timings and hence, stronger prediction error signals specifically for asynchronous music in a premotor-cerebellar circuitry. Our findings show intimate links between action production and audiovisual temporal binding in perception.

DarwinML: A Graph-based Evolutionary Algorithm for Automated Machine Learning (2018)

As an emerging field, Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) aims to reduce or eliminate manual operations that require expertise in machine learning. In this paper, a graph-based architecture is employed to represent flexible combinations of ML models, which provides a large searching space compared to tree-based and stacking-based architectures. Based on this, an evolutionary algorithm is proposed to search for the best architecture, where the mutation and heredity operators are the key for architecture evolution. With Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization, the proposed approach can automate the workflow of machine learning. On the PMLB dataset, the proposed approach shows the state-of-the-art performance compared with TPOT, Autostacker, and auto-sklearn. Some of the optimized models are with complex structures which are difficult to obtain in manual design.

Considerations for the development of real‐time dynamic testing using servo‐hydraulic actuation (2003)

Abstract This paper presents a study of the use of servo‐hydraulic systems in the implementation of real‐time large‐scale structural testing methods in force control such as effective force testing (EFT) and in displacement control such as real‐time pseudodynamic testing (RPsD). Mathematical models for both types of control systems are presented and used to investigate the influences of servo‐systems on the overall system performance. Parameters investigated include the overall system dynamics, nonlinearities of servo‐systems, actuator damping, system mass including piston mass, and system response delay. Results of both numerical simulations and experiments showed that many of the influences of the servo‐hydraulic system that significantly affect the real‐time dynamic tests can be properly compensated through control schemes identified in this paper.

Trends and Brief Comments on Anti-collision Techniques in Radio Frequency Identification System (2006)

The anti-collision problems of RFID systems are introduced under the demands of their applications. Firstly in this paper, the operational principle of RFID is briefly addressed and the detection method of collision signals based on Manchester coding is explained. Subsequently, the anti-collision of RFID systems is classified according to the different aspects and their respective solutions are also illustrated. Finally, the perspective of the solutions for transponder collision problems is inferred
Differential effect of the alpha2-adrenoceptor antagonist, atipamezole, in limb-placing task and skilled forepaw use following experimental stroke. (2001)

Transient occlusion of the MCA produced a severe, long lasting, and bilateral deficit in skilled forelimb use. Permanent occlusion of the distal MCA was associated with less severe impairment, which was alleviated to some extent by administration of atipamezole. This is in contrast to spontaneous recovery and recovery-enhancing effects of atipamezole in the limb-placing test, particularly in the transient MCA occlusion model.
Ultra Wideband Impulse Radio for Wireless Sensing and Identification (2008)

We evaluated the pressor response to ephedrine during isoflurane or propofol anesthesia with or without clonidine premedication. Our study suggests that, in anesthetized patients premedicated with clonidine, decreases in blood pressure may be easier to reverse with ephedrine with some types of anesthesia (e.g., propofol) than with others (e.g., isoflurane).
[Responsiveness of brain tumors to chemotherapeutic agents in the subrenal capsule assay]. (1986)

The 6-day subrenal capsule assay was used to determine chemotherapeutic sensitivities of brain tumors. Twenty-nine brain tumors were obtained at the time of surgical resection. A minced tumor fragment (1-mm cube) was implanted under the renal capsule of 5- to 8- week-old normal female ddY mice. Each fragment was measured at two diameters using ocular micrometer unit (10 omu = 1.0 mm). The animals were randomized, usually 5 to 7 per group, and treated with anticancer drugs on day 1 through 5. On day 6, the mice were killed. The kidney was exteriorized and the tumor was again measured. The change in tumor size was obtained for each animal by ratio of the final tumor size/the initial tumor size. Sensitivities of tumors to anticancer agents were determined by comparing differences in mean values of the change in tumor size between control and treated group. Twenty-seven out of 29 specimens (93%) were submitted to evaluable assay. The response rate of 11 malignant gliomas (grade 3 and 4) was 44% and that to anticancer drugs tested were as follow: 5-FU 78%, ACNU and CPA 50%, VCR 40%, CDDP 36%. The response rate of 3 medulloblastomas was 36%: MTX 67%, CPA 50%, ACNU and CDDP 33%. That of two low-grade gliomas (grade 2) was 29%, while that of 4 malignant brain tumors (2 metastasis, chordoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma) was 60%. Four neurinomas and 3 meningiomas were not sensitive to Tamoxifen and none were determined for estrogen receptor. In histological analysis, the transplanted tumor retained similar characteristics to the original tumor in the cases of neurinomas, meningiomas and some gliomas. Lymphocytic infiltration was observed in many cases. In the cases of metastasis (adenocarcinomas), considerable mesenchymation and lymphocytic infiltration was observed, tumor cells were reduced in number with poor preservation. Clinical response in 9 cases treated with sensitive drugs were 1 complete response, 2 partial response, 5 stable and 1 progressive disease in CT examination. The subrenal capsule assay is therefore considered to be very useful for determining suitable chemotherapeutic agents for brain tumors.
Aortic revascularization of orthotopic liver allografts: indications and long-term follow-up. (1993)

Indications for Ao-OLT include poor hepatic arterial inflow, small or anomalous recipient hepatic arteries, friable or attenuated native hepatic arteries as may be present during retransplantation, and recipient age less than 1 year, especially those less than 15 kg or in whom the recipient artery is less than 3 mm in diameter. In these more precarious situations, Ao-OLT achieves patency rates similar to those of primary, uncomplicated OLT, is superior for retransplantation, and has technical advantages in the small pediatric liver recipient.
Synthesis and microstructure of polymers from <i>o</i>‐methacryloyloxybenzoic acid (1987)

Abstract The free radical polymerization of o ‐methacryloyloxybenzoic acid using acetone and benzene as solvents, in the interval 30–120°C, is investigated. The polymerization in benzene has a precipitant character. However, when acetone is used as solvent, at reaction temperatures higher than 60–70°C, the polymerization deviates from the classic free radical mechanism and, beside the addition of monomer molecules to growing chain ends, the release of salicylic acid and the formation of cyclic anhydride structures of glutaric type in the main chain has been detected. The microstructure of polymers obtained has also been studied by the transformation into the corresponding poly(methyl methacrylate)s.
Greener Chelating Agents (2012)

Abstract Most water contains metal ions which can cause detrimental effects to chemical processes in the home and in industry. Metal ions in the environment are often controlled or removed by the use of chelating agents so as to prevent these effects. However, commonly used chelating agents are poorly biodegradable and concerns have been raised about their environmental effects. Considerable effort has gone into designing greener, more biodegradable alternatives, but as the reactivity of the alternatives is not the same as that of the original chelating agents, chemists have had to use their skill to find new, greener designs that are as effective without harming the environment.
Hierarchical Saw-like ZnO Nanobelt/ZnS Nanowire Heterostructures Induced by Polar Surfaces (2006)

Saw-like nanostructures composed of single-crystalline ZnO nanobelts and single-crystalline ZnS nanowires have been successfully synthesized by a vapor-solid process. Several techniques, including scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy, were used to investigate the structures, morphology, and photoluminescence properties of the products. Due to the similar crystal habits of wurtzite ZnO and ZnS with chemically active Zn-terminated (0001) and chemically inactive O-terminated (or S-terminated) (000) polar surfaces, hierarchical saw-like nanostructures were considered to be formed by the initiation of a chemically active Zn-terminated ZnO (0001) polar surface. Photoluminescence properties of the heterostructures, different from pure ZnO nanobelts or ZnS nanowires, were also studied at room temperature.
Fc fusion to Glucagon-like peptide-1 inhibits degradation by human DPP-IV, increasing its half-life in serum and inducing a potent activity for human GLP-1 receptor activation (2009)

The short in vivo half-life of GLP-1 prevents it from being used clinically. This short half-life occurs because GLP-1 is rapidly degraded by dipeptidyl peptidases such as DPP-IV. To overcome this obstacle, a GLP-1/Fc was constructed and evaluated to determine if it was degraded by DPP-IV and in serum. When the degradation of GLP-1/Fc by human DPP-IV and rabbit serum was compared with that of GLP-1 it was found to be reduced by approximately 5- and 4-fold, respectively. Furthermore, GLP-1/Fc showed a potent activity for human GLP-1 receptor activation (EC50 approximately 6 nM). Taken together, these results indicate that GLP-1/Fc may have an extended half-life in vivo that occurs as a result of inhibition of degradation by human DPP-IV. Due to the extended half life, GLP-1/Fc may be useful for clinical treatments.
Physiology and pharmacological role of the blood-brain barrier. (2009)

The central nervous system (CNS) is a perfectly regulated environment with conditions far different from those in the rest of the organism. Even slight changes in this machinery affect its functioning. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the frontier that isolates brain tissues from the substances circulating in the blood vascular system. It is also a diffusion barrier that allows only water and small lipophilic molecules to freely access the brain in accordance with their concentration gradients. Moreover, animal studies have revealed differences in the barrier tightening time-course during development. The BBB becomes resistant to larger molecules before it stops smaller ones. Thus, its maturation has a progressive scheme. A similar scheme is true for BBB transporters. Due to all of these facts, the BBB is the most significant element responsible for the preservation of CNS homeostasis. As a functional system, the BBB can be investigated as a frontier composed of pericytes, astrocytic end feet, and brain endothelial cells (ECs). Special emphasis is placed on the tight junctions (TJs) existing between them. An alternative point of view considers the BBB to be a functional complex consisting not only of bricks of cells but also of structures between those cells and their cofunctioning elements.
Бързо съдебно разрешаване на спорове при искове с малък материален интерес: Опитът от държавите-членки на ЕС (2017)

The costs and long duration of court proceedings can be discouraging, and for the poor and micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) it can preclude access to justice entirely. According to the latest CEPEJ data, in 2014 disposition time of first instance civil and commercial litigious cases ranged from 97 days in Lithuania to 532 in Italy, with an overall EU average of 250 days.2 Costs (comprising both lawyer and court fees) can sometimes be greater than the value of the claim. Legislators around the world have long recognized that disputes concerning smaller claims may not require the same complex procedures and rules; instead, they can be resolved in a cheaper and more efficient manner. Although small claims procedure is not a new phenomenon and has existed for decades, it has only recently gained traction. Factors such as popular demand spur more and more countries into looking for new and faster ways to deal with smaller claims, as citizens are looking for simpler, ICT-enabled ways to resolve smaller disputes. This report provides a comparative analysis of small claims procedure in the 28 EU Member States, including lessons learned and good practices, to inform EU members and candidate countries looking to introduce or reform their small claims procedure. It considers a number of dimensions, namely: court fees, thresholds, institutional set-up, use of technology, the role of lawyers, lawyer fees, and avenues of appeal.
A Secure NFC-Based Mobile Printing Service Using Recognition Robot (2015)

With the rapid growth of internet technologies, there have been many recent innovations in printing methods and mobile printing service has become important part of our daily life. In this paper, we design and implement a secure mobile printing service using NFC tag to protect our personal information from the technical vulnerability and physical accident such as a robbery. To protect the personal information, the user has to scan the NFC information at the NFC reader using recognition robot to confirm the authentication. In addition, we propose a secure NFC-based authentication protocol that provides printer authorization method and document access control in accordance with user's authority. Lastly, to prove validity and efficiency of the proposed system, the experimental test was confirmed and provided the results.
Beyond interface builders (1993)

Interface builders only support the construction of the menus and dialogue boxes of an application. They do not support the construction of interfaces of many application classes (visualization, simulation, command and control, domain-specific editors) because of the dynamic and complex information that these applications process. HUMANOID is a model-based interface design and construction tool where interfaces are specifkd by building a declarative description (model) of their presentation and behavior. HUMANOID’S modeling language provides simple abstraction, iteration and conditional constructs to model the interface features of these application classes. HUMANOID provides an easy-touse designer’s interface that lets designers build complex interfaces without programming.
LED Back-Light Driving System for LCD Panels (2006)

In this paper, a light emitting diode (LED) back-light driving system for liquid crystal display (LCD) panels is proposed. Due to improvement in luminous efficiency, long life and wide color gamut, LED has gradually substituted for cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) as back light. In order to compete with other display devices and receive wide acceptance in the commercial arena, back-light driving efficiency, luminous efficiency and LED arrangement need to further improve. In this paper, an LED bypass circuit is proposed to prevent LED arrays from open-circuit, improving back-light reliability and availability significantly. In addition, bi-directional buck+boost converters are adopted to speed up state transition when using a current-type burst-mode dimming control for LED back-light drivers. Moreover, an effective driving circuit for achieving RGB light scan is introduced. Simulated and measured results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed driving system.
Thermoresponsive Behavior of Cationic Polyrotaxane Composed of Multiple Pentaethylenehexamine-grafted α-Cyclodextrins Threaded on Poly(propylene oxide)−Poly(ethylene oxide)−Poly(propylene oxide) Triblock Copolymer (2008)

This paper reports the synthesis and the studies of the thermoresponsive behavior of a new cationic polyrotaxane consisting of multiple pentaethylenehexamine-grafted alpha-cyclodextrin (PEHA-grafted-alpha-CD) rings threaded on a poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO-PEO-PPO) triblock copolymer. The PEHA-grafted alpha-CD rings were threaded and embedded in the PEO block of the block copolymer, forming a hydrophilic polyrotaxane domain, while the two PPO blocks flank the cationic polyrotaxane domain. The cationic polyrotaxane was found to form thermosensitive micelles in aqueous solution. The thermosensitive micellization phenomena were studied using (1)H and fluorescence spectra. The critical micellization temperatures of the cationic polyrotaxane micelles at various concentrations were determined using a fluorescence probe technique. On the basis of the closed association model, the standard free energy (DeltaG degrees ), enthalpy (DeltaH degrees ) and entropy (DeltaS degrees ) of micellization were calculated, and then the entropy change was confirmed to be the driving force for the micellization.
The microcirculation in sepsis. (2009)

Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients. The pathophysiology of sepsis involves a highly complex and integrated response, including the activation of various cell types, inflammatory mediators, and the haemostatic system. Recent evidence suggests an emerging role of the microcirculation in sepsis, necessitating a shift in our locus away Irom the macrohaemodynamics to ill icrohaemodynanmics in a septic patient. This review article provides a brief overview of the microcirculation, its assessment techniques, and specific therapies to resuscitate the microhaemodynamics.
