Discovery of parallel scheduling algorithms in cellular automata - based systems (2005)

In this paper we report new results concerning developing parallel multiprocessor scheduling algorithms working in cellular automata (CAs) - based scheduler. We consider the simplest case when a multiprocessor system is limited to two processors, but we not imply any limitations on a size and parameters of parallel programs. We use an approach called a selected neighborhood to design a nonlinear structure of CAs for a given program graph. We propose to use coevolutionary genetic algorithm (GA) to discover rules of parallel CAs, suitable for solving the scheduling problem. We compare sequential and parallel scheduling algorithms discovered in the context of CAs - based scheduling system.
Dental Liquid Entrees and Method of Making. (1978)

Abstract : Dental liquid entrees and a method of making the same comprising grinding and cooking meats, then freeze dehydrating the cooked meat, and thereafter pulverizing the freeze dehydrated meat in a vertical cutter-mixer or in a blender to reduce the particle sizes to 0.5 mm or less, then mixing the pulverized meat with water and other ingredients contributing to the flavor, the nutritional balance, and the texture of the liquid entrees, which must be capable of being drawn into the mouth through straws.

Performance Analysis of Complex Networks and Systems (2014)

This rigorous, self-contained book describes mathematical and, in particular, stochastic and graph theoretic methods to assess the performance of complex networks and systems. It comprises three parts: the first is a review of probability theory; Part II covers the classical theory of stochastic processes (Poisson, Markov and queueing theory), which are considered to be the basic building blocks for performance evaluation studies; Part III focuses on the rapidly expanding new field of network science. This part deals with the recently obtained insight that many very different large complex networks – such as the Internet, World Wide Web, metabolic and human brain networks, utility infrastructures, social networks – evolve and behave according to general common scaling laws. This understanding is useful when assessing the end-to-end quality of Internet services and when designing robust and secure networks. Containing problems and solved solutions, the book is ideal for graduate students taking courses in performance analysis.
Pyrazolyl-Bridged Iridium Dimers. 16.<sup>1</sup> The Atropisomeric (<i>C</i><sub>2</sub>) System [Ir(CO)(PPh<sub>3</sub>)(μ-pz)]<sub>2</sub>. Synthesis of Homologous Diastereomeric Complexes That Undergo Slow Stereomutation by Ring Inversion of the Bridging Framework:  Mechanistic Implications for Bimetallic Substrate Activation (1996)

The diiridium(I) complex [Ir(P{OR*}Ph2)(CO)(μ-pz)]2 (R* = Bor, 4a,b, OBor = (1S)-endo-(−)-bornoxy) exists as two diastereomers (63:37 ratio, 1H and 31P NMR) that are found to cocrystallize, providing a source of 4a,b in nonequilibrium distribution. NMR measurements show that MeI adduct formation to give the diastereomeric pair of diiridium(II) adducts 7a,b is orders of magnitude faster than ring inversion that interconverts 4a and 4b and that 7a,b equilibrate much more slowly than the 4a−4b interconversion in a manner that implicates reductive elimination of MeI.
Contemporary concerns in Geographical/Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) processing (2011)

With the advent of advances in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS); there is a need to determine the areas of research and new tools available for GIS systems. GIS consists of the collection, integration, storage, exploitation, and visualization of geographic and contextual data and spatial information. Future GIS needs, techniques, models, and standards should be shared openly among developers for future instantiation of products. The summary of selected areas include (1) support for large-data formats including meta-data transparency, (2) adherence to open standards, (3) generation of extensible architectures, and (4) development of a consistent set of metrics for analysis. The future of GIS products will include non-spatial as well as spatial data which requires information fusion, management functions from machine-processed data to user-defined actionable information, and use-case challenge problems for comparison.
Mammalian 5′(3′)-Deoxyribonucleotidase, cDNA Cloning, and Overexpression of the Enzyme in Escherichia coli and Mammalian Cells (2000)

5'(3')-Deoxyribonucleotidase is a ubiquitous enzyme in mammalian cells whose physiological function is not known. It was earlier purified to homogeneity from human placenta. We determined the amino acid sequences of several internal peptides and with their aid found an expressed sequence tag clone with the complete cDNA for a murine enzyme of 23.9 kDa. The DNA was cloned into appropriate plasmids and introduced into Escherichia coli and ecdyson-inducible 293 and V79 cells. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity from transformed E. coli and was found to be identical with the native enzyme. After induction with ponasterone, the transfected mammalian cells showed a gradual increase of enzyme activity. A human expressed sequence tag clone contained a large part of the cDNA of the human enzyme but lacked the 5'-end corresponding to 51 amino acids of the murine enzyme. Several polymerase chain reaction-based approaches to find this sequence met with no success. A mouse/human hybrid cDNA that had substituted the missing human 5'-end with the corresponding mouse sequence coded for a fully active enzyme.
A multimodal corpus for the evaluation of computational models for (grounded) language acquisition (2014)

This paper describes the design and ac-quisition of a German multimodal cor-pus for the development and evaluation of computational models for (grounded) lan-guage acquisition and algorithms enabling corresponding capabilities in robots. The corpus contains parallel data from multi-ple speakers/actors, including speech, vi-sual data from different perspectives and body posture data. The corpus is designed to support the development and evalua-tion of models learning rather complex grounded linguistic structures, e.g. syn-tactic patterns, from sub-symbolic input. It provides moreover a valuable resource for evaluating algorithms addressing sev-eral other learning processes, e.g. concept formation or acquisition of manipulation skills. The corpus will be made available to the public. 1
A study on new‐shaped sustaining electrode showing high luminous efficiency in AC PDPs (2001)

Abstract In order to improve the luminous efficiency in ac PDP(Plasma Display Panel), we have suggested a new bridge type sustaining electrode which makes it possible to have free alignment between front and rear panels. The luminous efficiency of the ac PDP with suggested new sustaining electrode is improved by about 28 % compared with that of conventional sustaining electrode. However, the luminance of the ac PDP with the suggested electrode is kept the same with the conventional ones.

Rate-Dependent Morphology of Li<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Growth in Li–O<sub>2</sub> Batteries (2013)

Compact solid discharge products enable energy storage devices with high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, but solid deposits on active surfaces can disturb charge transport and induce mechanical stress. In this Letter, we develop a nanoscale continuum model for the growth of Li2O2 crystals in lithium-oxygen batteries with organic electrolytes, based on a theory of electrochemical nonequilibrium thermodynamics originally applied to Li-ion batteries. As in the case of lithium insertion in phase-separating LiFePO4 nanoparticles, the theory predicts a transition from complex to uniform morphologies of Li2O2 with increasing current. Discrete particle growth at low discharge rates becomes suppressed at high rates, resulting in a film of electronically insulating Li2O2 that limits cell performance. We predict that the transition between these surface growth modes occurs at current densities close to the exchange current density of the cathode reaction, consistent with experimental observations.

Detección sistemática de la fenilcetonuria (2010)

La detección sistemática de recién nacidos para indagar la presencia de fenilcetonuria (FCU) se inició con Robert Guthrie (1916–1995), quien desarrolló la prueba de inhibición bacteriana para el análisis semicuantitativo de fenilalanina, que constituía la primera prueba idónea para un análisis de alto rendimiento. Además, introdujo la ‘tarjeta de papel filtro de Guthrie’ como medio de transporte de la sangre desecada, procedimiento que todavía se utiliza en la actualidad. Teniendo en cuenta el potencial de su enfoque para el diagnóstico precoz y el hecho de que una dieta pobre en fenilalanina prevenía las secuelas neurológicas de la FCU no tratada, Robert Guthrie llegó a ser el primer y máximo abogado de la detección sistemática de recién nacidos para indagar la presencia de FCU. Consecutivamente al primer programa de detección sistemática de recién nacidos para FCU en Buffalo, N.Y., EE.UU. en la década de los 60, se iniciaron otros programas de detección sistemática de recién nacidos en todo el mundo en las décadas de los 60 y los 70. Desde entonces, la detección sistemática de recién nacidos ha sido admitida como una importante medida de salud pública y la mayoría de los países tienen en curso programas de detección sistemática de recién nacidos para la FCU y otros errores congénitos del metabolismo. Desde los primeros programas se admite que el diagnóstico precoz de la FCU y el inicio subsiguiente de una dieta pobre en fenilalanina permite la obtención de desenlaces neurológicos normales, en contraste con el retraso mental grave de la FCU no tratada. Los laboratorios que practican actualmente la detección sistemática de recién nacidos utilizan análisis fotométricos o espectrometría de masas en tándem para el análisis de la fenilalanina en lugar de la prueba de inhibición bacteriana. Esto ha dado lugar a un incremento del número de casos con hiperfenilalaninemia que, a menudo, no requieren tratamiento dietético. Todo nivel elevado de fenilalanina en un recién nacido obliga a la obtención de una segunda muestra para repetir el análisis de fenilalanina y tirosina. La confirmación de niveles elevados de fenilalanina junto a niveles bajos o normales de tirosina se sigue de la realización de un análisis de pterinas urinarias y de la actividad de la dihidropterina reductasa en los eritrocitos para excluir un error congénito del metabolismo de la biopterina. En todo recién nacido cuyos niveles hemáticos de fenilalanina rebasen los 6 mg/dl debe realizarse una prueba de carga de tetrahidrobiopterina y dar comienzo a un tratamiento dietético. El nivel en el cual se inicia la terapéutica dietética puede diferir entre EE.UU., Reino Unido y Europa continental.
Complement Protein C1q Forms a Complex with Cytotoxic Prion Protein Oligomers (2010)

A growing number of studies have investigated the interaction between C1q and PrP, but the oligomeric form of PrP involved in this interaction remains to be determined. Aggregation of recombinant full-length murine PrP in the presence of 100 mm NaCl allowed us to isolate three different types of oligomers by size-exclusion chromatography. In contrast to PrP monomers and fibrils, these oligomers activate the classical complement pathway, the smallest species containing 8-15 PrP protomers being the most efficient. We used Thioflavine T fluorescence to monitor PrP aggregation and showed that, when added to the reaction, C1q has a cooperative effect on PrP aggregation and leads to the formation of C1q-PrP complexes. In these complexes, C1q interacts through its globular domains preferentially with the smallest oligomers, as shown by electron microscopy, and retains the ability to activate the classical complement pathway. Using two cell lines, we also provide evidence that C1q inhibits the cytotoxicity induced by the smallest PrP oligomers. The cooperative interaction between C1q and PrP could represent an early step in the disease, where it prevents elimination of the prion seed, leading to further aggregation.
Heterocyclic mesomeric betaines. Part 6. Synthesis and a cycloaddition of a hetero derivative of the 1-methylenephenalene-3-methide anion (1992)

Synthesis of the cross-conjugated heterocyclic mesomeric betaine 4 is reported. This mesomeric betaine 4 is isoconjugate with the odd alternant hydrocarbon anion 5(R = Ph). Cycloaddition of the betaine 4 with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate yields the 1,4-cycloadduct 14.
Emergence of Fast Local Dynamics on Cooling toward the Ising Spin Glass Transition (1997)

We present a detailed Monte Carlo evaluation of the equilibrium distribution of local spin-flip rates and local energies in the paramagnetic phase of the $d\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}2$ and $d\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}3\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}J$ Ising spin glass. Both quantities are spatially heterogeneous, and we find that the shapes of the distributions change dramatically with decreasing temperature. In particular as temperature decreases we find that for an increasing fraction of spins the local spin-flip rate and local energy increase as the glass transition is approached.
Synthesis of xanthines as adenosine antagonists, a practical quantitative structure-activity relationship application (1985)

A set of 56 8-phenylxanthines, previously tested for adenosine antagonism (adenosine A1 receptor affinity), was analyzed by quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) techniques. The resulting QSAR revealed that (1) the most potent receptor binders had already been made in this series and thus suggested the termination of synthesis of compounds with additional phenyl substituents to increase potency and (2) potency was much more strongly affected by changes in ortho than para phenyl substitution. On the basis of this study, an additional 20 compounds were synthesized that contained primarily para substituents designed to increase aqueous solubility. High potency was maintained among the resulting sulfonamide derivatives (as predicted by the QSAR), and aqueous solubility was dramatically increased. Furthermore, in vitro antagonism of an adenosine receptor mediated physiological effect was demonstrated.
Synthesis of [2‐<sup>13</sup>C]phenol (1) (1983)

Abstract [2‐ 13 C]cyclohexanone was synthesized through [ 13 C]cyanation of cyclopentanone followed by acetylation, reduction and ring expansion. Treatment with cupric bromide/lithium bromide and dehydrobromination of the resulting labeled 1,6‐dibromohexanone in a “one pot” procedure gave [2‐ 13 C]phenol.
Zirconium-Based Compounds for Cathode of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (2007)

Zirconium-based compounds, such as , have been investigated as a cathode of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. was prepared using radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering under an with heating the substrate. The solubility of deposited at was less than in at under atmospheric condition, indicating that had a high chemical stability in acidic media. The effect of the heat-treatment during the film deposition on the catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the properties of has been examined. The ORR current density on deposited at a substrate temperature of was times greater than that at . The dependence of both the ORR current density at and the apparent activation energy of the ORR at on the substrate temperature changed near . The crystalline structure of also changed near . In addition, the catalytic activity for the ORR increased with the increasing crystallinity and decreasing ionization potential of the specimens. Therefore, the crystalline structure, the crystallinity, and the ionization potential might affect the catalytic activity for the ORR.

Effective source term in the diffusion equation for photon transport in turbid media (1997)

The Green's function for the diffusion equation is widely used to describe photon transport in turbid media. We have performed aseries of spectroscopy experiments on a number of uniform turbid media with different optical properties (absorption coefficient in the range 0.03-0.14 cm(-1), reduced scattering coefficient in the range 5-22 cm(-1)). Our experiments have been conducted in the frequency domain, where the measured parameters are the dc intensity (I(dc)), ac amplitude (I(ac)), and phase (?) of the light intensity wave. In an infinite medium, the Green's function predicts a linear dependence of ln(rI(dc)) and ? on the source-detector separation r. Our measurements show that the intercepts of these straight lines predicted by the Green's function do not agree with the experimental results. To reproduce the experimental results, we have introduced an effective photon source whose spatial extent and source strength depend on the optical properties of the medium. This effective source term has no effect on the slopes of the straight lines predicted by the Green'sfunction at large values of r.

Abstract 1452: Examination of mechanisms involved in spontaneous melanoma metastasis to CNS (2010)

Abstract Cerebral metastases occur in a majority of metastatic melanoma patients and are the major cause of mortality in those cases. Testing of novel therapeutic approaches has been slowed by the absence of appropriate preclinical models of spontaneous metastatic melanoma, particularly spontaneous CNS metastasis. To examine the efficacy of potentially promising treatment regimens, a highly visceral metastatic variant of the human melanoma WM239 cell line, named 6-4L, was developed and used to test the effectiveness of metronomic chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced metastatic disease. Concurrent low-dose cyclophosphomide/vinblastine led to significant disease control of mice with overt metastases in lungs, liver and lymph nodes. Among mice that survived the long-term treatment, 20% showed the presence of spontaneous brain metastases which likely emerged as a result of prolonged survival mediated by the therapy. From these, 2 cell lines (131/4-5B1 and 131/4-5B2) were generated which metastasize spontaneously to brain parenchyma. This constitutes the first model of heritable spontaneous melanoma brain metastasis by a human cell line from a subdermal transplant, without any therapeutic intervention. Characterization shows two salient functional alterations that may contribute to this phenotype 1) adhesion to brain-endothelial cells and 2) proliferation in the presence of brain-derived factors. When compared to poorly or highly metastatic cell lines (WM239A and 113/6-4L respectively), microarray analysis shows that 4-5B1/B2 cell lines have markedly different expression profiles. These cell lines show differential expression of 108 genes, thirteen of which share a common alteration for both brain-metastatic cell lines, including ednrb (endothelin receptor B) and bcl2a1 (BCL2-related protein A1), which stand out as potentially relevant. These molecules have been previously associated with increased proliferation in the presence of ENT-3; a peptide expressed in the brain, as well as resistance to TNF induced apoptosis and increased metastatic potential. Lentiviral vectors were used to induce stable upregulation of these genes in the otherwise non-brain metastatic parental 113/6-4L cell line. This upregulation mediated an increase in metastatic potential and, in the case of EDNRB, increased intracranial tumor growth. Future efforts will focus on characterizing the alterations in these cell lines, to confirm their clinical relevance and to test novel inhibitors for treating melanoma brain metastases.

MOSQUITO: Mobile video streaming protocol for the high level QoE provisioning over heterogeneous wireless access networks (2015)

Existing video streaming protocols get poor QoE (Quality of Experience) especially when network bandwidth is drastically fluctuated due to handoff events over heterogeneous networks where they provide different bandwidths and network conditions. This paper proposes a novel QoE guaranteed mobile video streaming scheme over heterogeneous wireless networks: MOSQUITO. MOSQUITO can dynamically adjust streaming bit rate according to the network condition and also maintain fixed quantity of buffered AV (Audio-Video) data for the stable QoE level. MOSQUITO is implemented over the up-to-date Google Android mobile device. Simulation results show that that QoE in mobile video streaming service over heterogeneous wireless networks can be guaranteed by carefully predicting the network dynamics. MOSQUITO is now commercially deployed for over 5 million LTE subscribers of a south Korea telco, LG U+.
