Nanotechnology for genomic signal processing in cancer research - A focus on the genomic signal processing hardware design of the nanotools for cancer ressearch (2007)

Nanotechnology has recently been applied to study dynamic cellular processes, such as cell cycles and cell migration, providing rich spatial and temporal phenotype information. Tremendous opportunities and challenges exist in combining nanotechnology with signal processing techniques to develop faster, smaller, yet more accurate and sensitive biomedical devices for cancer genomics and proteomics to obtain a better understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of different kinds of cancers. In this article, we present the applications of new nanoscale solutions that include nanoparticles and sensing devices for genomic signal processing (GSP) in cancer research
Warpage and curvature determination of PCB with DIMM socket during reflow process by strain gage measurement (2010)

The purpose of this study is to in-situ measure the warpage of the PCB with surface-mount dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets during reflow process by using strain gages. In the experiments, a full-field shadow moire is used for measuring real-time out-of-plane deformations (or warpage) of the PCB with DIMM sockets under heating condition. A finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze the thermally-induced deformation of the PCB with DIMM sockets in order to ensure the validity of the measurement. The conventional strain gages and rosette are employed to in-situ measure the strains (even though they are in-plane strain data) in this PCB specimen during the solder reflow process. The results indicate that the strain gage measurement can be used to determine the bending strains of the PCB occurring during the solder reflow. These bending strains can be transferred to curvature data and global warpage. Therefore, it provides a real-time and easy-to-use method for monitoring the PCB warpage under temperature variation during the reflow process. In addition, the strain gage rosette has been successfully proved to be an enabling measurement of the local and full-field deformation of the PCB with DIMM socket during reflow process.
Development of Production Technology of Ultrafine WC Powder (2012)

Hard metal which is high performance in hardness and toughness is used as tool materials for high precision processing. Property of hard metal is improved to high hardness and high strength by refinement of WC phase. The further property improvement by refinement of WC phase is expected to tool materials such as micro drill, end mill, ultraprecision die.The technology of obtaining finer WC powder for micro-grained hard metal by the direct carburization process in which WO3 powder is directly reacted with carbon powder and the inhibitors addition technology in which very fine primary crystals are formed into coarse polycrystalline WC grain by addition of grain growth inhibitor are investigated.For the direct carburization process, very fine nuclei are formed at reduction step during WO2.72→WO2→W, and the fine nuclei is carburized to WC powder of nano sized from ultrafine grain diameter without grain growth. It was found out that hard metal obtained from the WC powder by the direct carburization process have higher hardness and strength. For the inhibitors addition technology, addition of grain growth inhibitors such as VC, TaC, Cr3C2, NbC, Mo2C at carburization process of coarse tungsten powder was examined. The very fine primary WC crystal are formed by adding Cr into coarse polycrystalline grain at carburizing process. Since Co diffuse into grain boundaries of the polycrystalline WC grain during sintering of hard metal, property of the hard metal was dependent on size of the primary crystal of WC powder. The Cr added WC powder can be contributed to stable production of micro-grined hard metal due to higher apparent density and lower oxygen content of WC powder.
ATM-based plug-and-play techniquefor in-home networking (1998)

An ATM-based in-home networking protocol is proposed, called the cost-effective home ATM network for consumer electronics (CHANCE). Unlike other ATM-based in-home networking technologies, CHANCE can efficiently provide the plug-and-play facility using only the ATM cell header field. CHANCE's addressing scheme using the switch and device identifiers enables inter-device control and communication within the home.
Electromigration failure modes in aluminum metallization for semiconductor devices (1969)

Two wear-out type failure modes involving aluminum metallization for semiconductor devices are described. Both modes involve mass transport by momentum exchange between conducting electrons and metal ions. The first failure mode is the formation of an electrically open circuit due to the condensation of vacancies in the aluminum to form voids. The second is the formation of etch pits into silicon by the dissolution of silicon into aluminum, and the transport of the solute ions down the aluminum conductor away from the silicon-aluminum interface by electron wind forces. The process continues until an etch pit grows into the silicon to a depth sufficient to short out an underlying junction.
Milestones of anticipatory public speaking anxiety (1999)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the levels of anticipatory public speaking state and trait anxiety at three pre‐performance milestones or significant events: (1) the moment when the public speech was assigned in class, (2) the mid‐point of a laboratory session during which the speeches were being prepared, and (3) the moment immediately preceding formal presentation of the speech to the class. The results indicate that both state and trait anxiety levels during these events were ordered in a quadratic, v‐shaped episodic pattern as follows: the highest level of anticipatory anxiety occurred just before speaking, the second highest level occurred at the time the assignment was announced and explained, and the lowest level was measured during the time students were preparing their speeches.
Finding a Better Immunization Strategy (2008)

The problem of finding the best strategy to immunize a population or a computer network with a minimal number of immunization doses is of current interest. It has been accepted that the targeted strategies on most central nodes are most efficient for model and real networks. We present a newly developed graph-partitioning strategy which requires 5% to 50% fewer immunization doses compared to the targeted strategy and achieves the same degree of immunization of the network. We explicitly demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed strategy on several model networks and also on real networks.
Coalition formation games for dynamic multirobot tasks (2015)

In this paper we study the problem of forming coalitions for dynamic tasks in multirobot systems. As robots, either individually or in groups, encounter new tasks for which individual or group resources do not suffice, robot coalitions that are collectively capable of meeting these requirements need to be formed. We propose a hybrid approach to this problem where coalitions proceed with the task if they have sufficient resources after liberating redundant members while they report it to a task coordinator in cases where their resources do not suffice. In turn, the task coordinator forms capable coalitions based on coalition formation games in which groups of robots are evaluated together in regards to each task’s required resources and cost of forming a coalition. The resulting coalitions are such that no group of robots has a viable alternative to staying within their assigned coalition. Thus, as new tasks are confronted, coalitions merge and split so that the resulting coalitions are capable of the newly encountered tasks. Simulations and experiments performed on groups of heterogeneous mobile robots demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Communication and transportation network reliability using routing models (1991)

A general framework is presented for calculating a reliability measure for several types of flow networks. This framework allows reliability analysis for complicated systems such as communication, electric power, and transportation networks. The analysis is based on the notion of routing and rerouting after a failure. Modeling approaches are discussed for each type of system surveyed. A mathematical description of the system, measures of performance, a mathematical model of failures, routing models, and (if available) routing algorithms are discussed for every system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Package cracking in plastic surface mount components as a function of package moisture content and geometry (1988)

In this work, a critical moisture level of 0.11% by weight is identified for which plastic surface-mount components may be exposed to the stresses of SMT solder reflow without cracking jeopardy. An 'algorithm' for determining crack susceptibility as a function of package/die geometry is presented. Package absorption characteristics were measured, and exposure times for various factory floor environments were calculated. A desiccant pack and shipping procedure is described which maintains the components in a benign environment for the duration of a 12-month shelf-life. This desiccant pack process has been confirmed to be effective in preventing moisture absorption above the safe allowable moisture content level.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Oral Phosphate Binders: Phosphate Binding Capacity of Iron (III) Hydroxide Complexes Containing Saccharides; and Their Effect on the Urinary Excretion of Calcium and Phosphate in Rats (1999)

Phosphate binders that contain aluminum or calcium are frequently prescribed to treat hyperphosphatemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but an accumulation of aluminum can lead to encephalopathy, aluminum-related bone disease (ARBD) such as osteomalacia, anaemia, and resistance to erythropoietin, and calcium accumulation can lead to hypercalcaemia. High phosphate concentrations are reduced in vitro and in vivo by a phosphate adsorption pill, which is synthesized by hydrolyzing ferrous sulfate in the presence of saccharides, to form an iron (III)-saccharide complex that is acid resistant and binds phosphate greater than iron (III) hydroxide alone. Under in vitro conditions, containing 3.26 mg P/dL, the iron (III)-sucrose complex showed the highest phosphate adsorption capacity at pH 2 with artificial gastric juice, 58.9 mg P/g binder. For the 7 day in vivo study, 0% (Group 1), 1% (Group 2), 4% (Group 3), and 8% (Group 4) iron (III)-sucrose complex was admixed into the rodent chow by weight and fed to 15 male Wistar rats. The weight and volume of the feces and urine, and the calcium, iron, and phosphorus excretions in the feces and urine samples were monitored for any signs of irregularity. Total urine outflow was collected during a 24-h period to determine the amount of phosphate recovered, which indicates the ability of the phosphate binder to reduce gastrointestinal phosphate absorption. The fecal iron excretion was significantly effected by the amount of binder ingested throughout the study for Group 2 (p < 0.001), Group 3 (p < 0.01), and Group 4 (p < 0.001). The urinary calcium excretion (mg/rat/24-h) significantly increased by the 7th day for Group 2 (p < 0.05) and Group 4 (p < 0.01) in comparison to the control. Finally, after 7 days, there was a significant drop in the urinary phosphorus levels (mg P/rat/24-h) in a dose dependent manner for Group 2: from 7.82 +/- 1.46 to 1.98 +/- 0.10 mg P/rat/24-h (102 mg P/dL/24-h; p < 0.05); Group 3: from 6.70 +/- 1.14 to 0.16 +/- 0.09 mg P/rat/24-h (6.0 mg P/dL/24-h; p < 0.01); and Group 4: from 8.25 +/- 0.67 to 0.04 +/- 0.01 mg P/rat/24-h (0.9 mg P/dL/24-h; p < 0.01). The results show that this new adsorbent might provide an alternative to conventional aluminum and calcium containing phosphate-binding agents for combating hyperphosphataemia.
Kinetic studies of corn stover saccharification using sulphuric acid (1984)

The kinetics of crystalline cellulose and hemicellulose hydrolysis in corn stover were studied with a nonisothermal technique. Reactions were arrested at temperatures between 160 and 240 degrees C and product sugars were analyzed using a Bio-Rad HPX-85 liquid chromatographic column. A simple first-order series reaction model was used for both cellulose and hemicellulose hydrolysis reactions. Kinetic parameters were obtained for three different sulphuric acid concentrations (0.49, 0.92, and 1.47 wt %). Activation energies remained constant over this acid concentration range but the preexponential factors showed an increase with acid concentration. Relationships were obtained between the preexponential factors and acid concentrations. Cellulose hydrolysis and glucose degradation reactions were observed to be of higher order with respect to acid concentration in comparison with the previous studies with other raw materials.
A Comparative Study of Facial, Retinal, Iris and Sclera Recognition Techniques (2014)

The pressures on today's system administrators to have secure systems are ever increasing. One area where security can be improved is in authentication. Face, retina, iris and sclera recognition, biometrics, provide one of the most secure methods of authentication and identification. These technologies are very useful in areas such as information security, physical access security, ATMs and airport security. These technologies are more or less accurate, easy to use, non-intrusive, and difficult to forge and, despite what people may think, are actually quite fast systems once initial enrolment has taken place. However, they do require the co-operation of the subject: need specific hardware and software to operate. These recognition technologies do provide a good method of authentication to replace the current methods of passwords, token cards or PINs and if used in conjunction with something the user knows in a two-factor authentication system then the authentication becomes even stronger.

Multidisciplinary cooperation in the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo/dizziness (2019)

There are many subjects for the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo/dizziness. Only by standardized diagnosis and treatment can we avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment. First, terminology standardization should be applied, including how to interpret sudden hearing loss, vestibular migraine and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo to Chinese nomenclature and to describe deafness and hearing loss correctly. Second, the key points of differential diagnosis of central and peripheral vestibular diseases must be accurately grasped, conducting clinical work under the guidance and consensus of diagnosis and treatment of relevant vestibular diseases and mastering the new concepts and new developments at home and abroad in order to promote the level of the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo/dizziness.

CHARACTERIZATION OF ENTEROCOCCUS BACTERIOPHAGES FROM THE SMALL INTESTINE OF THE RAT (1963)

Rogers, C. G. (University of Wisconsin, Madison) and W. B. Sarles. Characterization of enterococcus bacteriophages from the small intestine of the rat. J. Bacteriol. 85:1378-1385. 1963.-Enterococcus bacteriophages were isolated by an enrichment procedure from the contents of the small intestines of Sprague-Dawley white rats. After purification by single-plaque isolation, the phages were maintained in Tryptose broth by propagation on strains of Streptococcus faecalis var. zymogenes of similar intestinal origin. The presence of two phage strains was suggested from host range studies, and confirmed by antiserum neutralization tests, whereby the bacteriophages were placed in two distinct, but serologically related, groups. When the characteristics of one phage from each group were studied, differences were observed in antigenic properties, as shown by the ability to stimulate antibody production in rabbits, and in single-step growth characteristics. At 32 C, the latent period was 21 min, and the burst size was 88 plaque-forming particles (PFP) for phage 1; and 34 min and 147 PFP for phage 2. The bacteriophages were similar in temperature of inactivation, sensitivity to pH, and in rates of adsorption to host cells (K = about 2 x 10(-9) ml/min at 32 C). In electron micrographs, the viruses were characterized by slightly elongated heads and long tails, and resembled one another closely. The dimensions of the phage particles were similar to those reported for other phage-host systems within the genus Streptococcus.
Equine embryonic stem‐like cells and mesenchymal stromal cells have different survival rates and migration patterns following their injection into damaged superficial digital flexor tendon (2010)

ESCs can be used allogeneically, therefore providing a possible 'off the shelf' source of cells for therapeutic use which overcomes the practical limitations of autologous MSCs. Furthermore, MSCs and ESCs have different survival rates and migration patterns in the damaged tendon, suggesting that they may produce different functional effects. This may have clinical relevance to treating tendon injuries in the horse.
HOLLOW MICROSPHERE: A REVIEW (2010)

The purpose of writing this review on Hollow microspheres is to compile the recent literature with special focus on the principal mechanism of floatation to achieve gastric retention. Hollow microsphere promises to be a potential approach for gastric retention. The recent developments of FDDS including approaches to design single-unit and multiple-unit floating systems, mechanism of floating microspheres, methods of preparation of hollow microsphere, list of polymers used in hollow microspheres, characterization of hollow microspheres, and their classification and formulation aspects are covered in detail.
Increasing Damping of Thin-Walled Structures Using Additively Manufactured Vibration Eliminators (2020)

The paper presents a new way to conduct passive elimination of vibrations consisting of covering elements of structures with low dynamic stiffness with polylactide (PLA). The PLA cover was created in 3D printing technology. The PLA cover was connected with the structure by means of a press connection. Appropriate arrangement of the PLA cover allows us to significantly increase the dissipation properties of the structure. The paper presents parametric analyses of the influence of the thickness of the cover and its distribution on the increase of the dissipation properties of the structure. Both analyses were carried out using finite element models (FEM). The effectiveness of the proposed method of increasing damping and the accuracy of the developed FEM models was verified by experimental studies. As a result, it has been proven that the developed FEM model of a free-free steel beam covered with polylactide enables the mapping of resonance frequencies at a level not exceeding 0.6% of relative error. Therefore, on its basis, it is possible to determine the parameters of the PLA cover. Comparing a free-free steel beam without cover with its PLA-covered counterpart, a reduction in the amplitude levels of the receptance function was achieved by up to 90%. The solution was validated for a steel frame for which a 37% decrease in the amplitude of the receptance function was obtained.
Language Shift and Maintenance in Israel (1971)

The revival of Hebrew as a living language has often been called a modern miracle, a series of events without natural causes. A tiny group of idealists decided about the turn of the century, in a small area now known as Israel, to insist upon the use of Hebrew. In this they were guided by the scholarly example of Eliezer Ben Yehuda who, about 1882, introduced spoken Hebrew into his home and circle of friends. The beginning of modern Hebrew, a fairly clumsy medium at first, was a stubborn act of will without benefit of habit, convenience, or even clergy (religious circles objected to the secularization of the Holy Tongue). By the end of the First World War Hebrew had gained the adherence of the younger generation, and further growth could depend increasingly on the kind of regularities of language acculturation that this paper will be concerned with. Yiddish and German continued to dispute the hegemony of Hebrew with ideological and practical claims of their own, but once Hebrew had become the language of instruction at all levels of schooling in 1913 the outcome was hardly in doubt. The question ceased to be one of what language would be adopted by the Jewish population but became one of how quickly the shift to Hebrew would take place. Equipped with the results of foresighted population surveys, Bachi (1956) skilfully analyzed the growth of Hebrew language use and of the variables that could be correlated with differential rates of growth. The present paper is a brief and modest attempt to update Bachi's admi? rable study by including 1961 census data (which, by the way, were obtained under the directorship of Professor Bachi in his capacity as Government Statistician). We shall place special emphasis on the fate of mother tongues introduced into the country by Jewish immigrants. A small sample of Israelis originating in Rumania will illustrate aspects of shift and maintenance in greater detail. Pre-contact experiences and context of settlement may serve to explain the grosser aspects of language shift and maintenance (after a
