The Performance Modeling of Ring Laser Gyro In Inertial Navigation (2006)

In this paper, the performance of a Ring Laser Gyro based inertial navigation is studied. It is modeled by using two methods; in the dynamic modeling, some parameters such as scale factor and environmental sensitivity have been determined, whereas in the statistical model, the other parameters such as random drift have been computed. Also the performance of the system is evaluated for several inputs and the dither influences on Gyro's output, locking effect, scale factor and drift errors are investigated.
Comments on `A linear NMOS depletion resistor and its application in an integrated amplifier' (1987)

For the original article see ibid., vol.SC-19, no.6, p.923-8 (1984). A detailed relation for the MOS drain current in the triode region is proposed for the analysis of a linear NMOS depletion resistor (DEPR) described by J.N. Babanezhad and G.C. Temes. Using this, the experimental results shown by the original authors become clearer and easier to interpret. In addition, the conditions of the DEPR nonlinearity minimum are discussed.
Content-Based Web Watermarking (2013)

With the increasing growth in internet use, information has turned into e-information and provides a greater freedom for information sharing. This also brings a greater need for information security by protecting copyrights of online authors. A novel tamper proof web watermarking technique has been proposed in this paper that uses the textual features of different languages. Initially three different languages (English, Urdu and Arabic) have been used in this research for testing and verification, however this idea can be extended to other languages. Watermarks are generated based on language features and further secured by encryption using advanced encryption standard algorithm to ensure another layer of security. Encrypted watermarks have been embedded into HTML page utilizing the structural aspects of markup language. Experimental results have shown that copied information can be recognized by using the proposed system even after modification attacks without requiring the disclosure of watermark information.
Care of Young Children With Diabetes in the Child Care Setting: A Position Statement of the American Diabetes Association (2014)

Diabetes is a relatively common chronic disease of childhood (1); however, capturing prevalence data in children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes has been challenging. The comprehensive SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth (SEARCH) study has made significant strides in better understanding disease prevalence in the pediatric population. A recent SEARCH study found that 1.93 per 1,000 youth (aged <20 years) were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (2), an increase of 21.1% from 2001 to 2009, with increases seen in all ethnic groups but with non-Hispanic whites disproportionately affected (3). For type 2 diabetes, the SEARCH study reported a prevalence of 0.46 per 1,000 youth (aged 10–20 years), an increase of 30.5% from 2001 to 2009 in all ethnicities (3). As youth rarely die of diabetes, the increase in prevalence is most likely attributed to increased incidence.

An annual increase of 2.3% in type 1 diabetes incidence has been reported in children, with children aged <5 years experiencing the greatest increase relative to all children (4). As type 2 diabetes is rarely seen in children younger than 10 years of age (3), this Position Statement will primarily focus on type 1 diabetes. The primary objective of this Position Statement is to explain that young children (aged ≤5 years) are a vulnerable population and have unique diabetes management needs. Our goal is to describe the diabetes management recommendations in the child care setting. The child care setting includes day care, camp, and other programs where young children with diabetes are enrolled. This Position Statement is meant to guide child care providers in caring for young children with diabetes and is not intended to provide specific advice on the medical management for this population. While Position Statements contain evidence-based recommendations, all of the information that pertains to young children is expert opinion …
Inhibition of rat liver microsomal fatty acid chain elongation by gemfibrozil in vitro (1992)

Gemfibrozil, a hypolipidemic drug mainly used in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemic states, strongly inhibits the rat hepatic microsomal fatty acid chain elongation system in vitro. The inhibition is independent on the reducing cofactor used in the assay. Furthermore, gemfibrozil seems to act by inhibiting the rate-limiting step of the elongation process, the condensing reaction, without discriminating among the proposed three different condensing enzymes, devoted to condensation of saturated, mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated acyl-CoA substrates.
The Complex Synergy of Water in Metal/Bromide Autoxidations. Part II. Effect of Water and Catalyst on the Aerobic Oxidation of Benzaldehydes and the Effect of Water on the Elementary Catalytic Pathways (2005)

Abstract All of the rates of the elementary steps in the Co/Br and Co/Mn/Br homogeneous, liquid‐phase catalyzed reactions decrease with increasing water concentration in acetic acid. The step‐wise replacement of the acetic acid ligands by water ligands in the coordination sphere of the catalyst metals may be responsible for this behavior. The non‐catalyzed and metal‐catalyzed (Co, Co/Mn/Br and Co/Mn) aerobic oxidations of benzaldehyde and 4‐methylbenzaldehyde are reported. The non‐catalyzed autoxidations are quite vigorous reactions in acetic acid/water mixtures but by‐products from the Baeyer–Villiger reaction, the thermal decomposition of the peroxy acid, and over‐oxidation to carbon dioxide limit the yield to the aromatic carboxylic acids. As the concentration of a Co or Co/Mn/Br catalyst increases these by‐products are first reduced and then eliminated probably due to the very fast, selective reaction of [Co(II)] 2 with the peroxy acid. A Co/Mn catalyst completely inhibits the autoxidation of the benzaldehydes. There is a gradual change in the yield of terephthaldicarboxaldehyde from 4‐methylbenzaldehyde with increasing Co/Mn/Br concentration suggesting that the non‐catalyzed steps are being replaced by catalyzed ones. The autoxidation of heptaldehyde generates about 500 times more carbon monoxide than does benzaldehyde using a Co/Mn/Br catalyst and gives only a 50% yield to heptanoic acid consistent with excessive amounts of decarbonylation with aliphatic aldehydes.
Predictive Analysis of Fiscal Crises with Deep Learning Time Series Model (2019)

Fiscal crisis can cause serious damage to the economy. Remarkably, there is limited study about when and how it occurs. With the social and economic data of more than 180 countries from 1970 to 2015, this paper constructs a fiscal crisis risk index system to explore the relationships between the crises and the indicators such as GDP growth rate, inflation rate, FDI, and foreign debt interests. Predictive analysis is performed based on the time series model of deep neural network to shed some light on policies and economic dynamics around the crises. We find that besides the inflation, fiscal crises in advanced economies are closely related to the net outflows of FDI and GDP p.c. while in developing countries the GDP growth rate and the net inflows of FDI are the key factors. Low-income developing countries are the heavy-hit targets with the net inflows of FDI, debt structure and interests as main contributors.
A Cognitive Strategies Approach to Reading and Writing Instruction for English Language Learners in Secondary School (2007)

This study was conducted by members of a site of the California Writing Project in partnership with a large, urban, low-SES school district where 93% of the students speak English as a second language and 69% are designated Limited English Proficient.
Enfermedades huérfanas. Un punto de encuentro entre la Medicina Clínica, la Biomedicina y la Bioética (2010)

En la bibliografia se encuentra una cierta ambiguedad terminologica a la hora de referirse a las
enfermedades huerfanas y a otros conceptos relacionados. Por ese motivo, es conveniente comenzar
estableciendo la terminologia que se va a utilizar a lo largo de este discurso, que coincide con la
recomendada por el Parlamento Europeo.1 En primer lugar, cabe hablar de enfermedades raras, 2
entendiendo como tales aquellas que tienen una baja frecuencia o aparecen raramente en la poblacion.
Para ser considerada como rara, una enfermedad debe afectar solo a una proporcion limitada de la
poblacion total, que en la Union Europea se determina como menos de 1 de cada 2.000 ciudadanos. En
Estados Unidos se considera rara una enfermedad cuando afecta a 7 o menos personas de cada 10.000 y
en Japon la cifra se situa en 2,5 casos por 10.000 ciudadanos. Estas proporciones pueden parecer escasas,
pero hay que tener en cuenta que, como se comentara mas adelante, el listado de enfermedades raras
abarca entre 5.000 y 7.000, lo que implica que pueden sufrir una u otra de las enfermedades raras un
porcentaje elevado de la poblacion mundial. Se estima, por ejemplo, que 1 de cada 15 habitantes de la
Union Europea padece alguna enfermedad rara
Endometrial sampling techniques for the office. (1989)

Although the number of dilatation and curettage procedures has declined since the 1970s, about 600,000 were performed in U.S. hospitals during 1984. Many of these procedures could have been avoided with outpatient endometrial sampling. Newer sampling devices are disposable, and some are well tolerated without analgesia. Indications for endometrial sampling include menstrual irregularities in women over age 40, risk factors for endometrial carcinoma and persistent abnormal bleeding.
Determination of Soluble and Insoluble Dietary Fiber in Psyllium-Containing Cereal Products (1995)

A method for soluble and insoluble dietary fiber determinations was developed for psyllium-containing food products, which are highly viscous in aqueous solutions. The assay is based on a modification of the AOAC soluble and insoluble dietary fiber method (991.43), which was recommended for nutrition labeling in the final U.S. food labeling regulations. We found that method 991.43 and other existing dietary fiber methods could not be applied to psyllium food products, which exhibit high viscosity in aqueous solutions, because highly viscous solutions could not be filtered easily. In this study, we modified AOAC method 991.43 to accommodate the filtration process of viscous sample solutions. Sonication followed by high-speed centrifugation was used before filtration. The principles of the method are similar to those for AOAC method 991.43, including the use of the same 3 enzymes (heat-stable alpha-amylase, protease, and amyloglucosidase) as well as similar enzyme incubation conditions. The modification using sonication and high-speed centrifugation did not alter the method performance for analytically normal products such as wheat bran, oat bran, and soy fiber. Yet, the modification allowed the separation of soluble dietary fiber fractions from insoluble fractions for psyllium products with satisfactory precision. This method for psyllium dietary fiber determinations may be applied to other food products that exhibit high viscosity in aqueous solutions.
Pentagon drawing and neuropsychological performance in Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease with dementia (2004)

This study has suggests that DLB subjects show an impairment of pentagon copying that is dissociable from more global cognitive impairments, whereas PD patients are relatively unimpaired on pentagon copying and AD and PDD patients show a linkage of their impairment in copying with more global cognitive deficits.
Concealment of Persons Using Face Recognition in Circumstantial Video Image. (2002)

A circumstantial video image should convey sufficient information about the situation, while protecting the privacy of the specific person' s in the scene. This paper describes a concealment system which automatically identifies a person by using face recognition, tracks him or her, and displays his or her image in a modified form such as in silhouette with or without name, or displays only a name instead of the original video image. A method for comparing situational information obtained from the modified or raw circumstantial video image with one required in several applications is also described. A subjective evaluation was carried out in order to ascertain how people evaluate modified video images from the observer or subject viewpoint. As a result of an experiment in which the several applications were considered, the silhouette with name list type of concealment seems to be the most appropriate observer-subject compromise.
A New Method for Texture Fields Synthesis: Some Applications to the Study of Human Vision (1981)

We present a general method to synthesize a stochastic process from its a priori given second-order statistics. Some new results, including a new conjecture dealing with visual discrimination of stochastic texture fields, are also given.
A Watermarking Technique to Secure Printed Matrix Barcode—Application for Anti-Counterfeit Packaging (2019)

Counterfeiting of consumer goods is a critical problem which causes various negative impacts for consumers, enterprises and the whole economic ecosystem. Anti-counterfeit labels and packaging is one of the main solutions to help enterprises protect their brand against this concern. In this paper, we introduced a novel watermarking technique, which embeds a particular random micro-texture into a matrix barcode and transforms this one into a security layer for making packaging anti-counterfeited. The secured matrix barcode is hard to be reproduced by counterfeiters. In fact, any degradations caused by the counterfeiting process will change the statistical behaviors of the embedded micro-texture. Statistical detectors based on the hypothesis testing framework are also introduced to classify authentic and counterfeited printed barcodes. Experimental results confirm the usability and the effectiveness of the proposed anti-counterfeiting solution.
A 900-MHz fully integrated SOI power amplifier for single-chip wireless transceiver applications (2000)

This paper presents a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) fully integrated RF power amplifier for single-chip wireless transceiver applications. The integrated power amplifier (IPA) operates at 900 MHz, and is designed and fabricated using a 1.5-/spl mu/m SOI LDMOS/CMOS/BJT technology. This technology is suitable for the complete integration of the front-end circuits with the baseband circuits for low-cost low-power high-volume production of single-chip transceivers. The IPA is a two-stage Class E power amplifier. It is fabricated along with the on-chip input and output matching networks. Thus, no external components are needed. At 900 MHz and with a 5-V supply, the power amplifier delivers 23-dBm output power to a 50-/spl Omega/ load with 16-dB gain and 49% power-added efficiency.
A software tool for technology tradeoff evaluation in multichip packaging (2002)

A software tool for evaluating performance tradeoffs in multichip packaging is described. The tool enhances the manufacturability and decreases the design risk associated with the selection of packaging technologies for integrated circuits. Geometric, electrical, thermal, and manufacturing metrics can be estimated using the tool. The tool allows technologies to be changed and design rules to be modified using a what if approach. The role of technology tradeoff analysis in multichip system design and system compiler concepts are discussed, and implementation details of the present tool are described. A design example of a RISC processor module is presented, and the use of the tool for assessing mixed technology systems is demonstrated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Surfactants: Basics and Versatility in Food Industries (2014)

Surfactant, as an abbreviation of “surface active agent”, is an organic compound that is amphiphilic comprising both hydrophilic groups(commonly referred to as “polar heads”) and hydrophobic groups(“nonpolar tails”). Based on the electron charges of the polar head parts, surfactants are classified as anionic, cationic, nonionic, zwitterionic. Many other pecular class of compounds also categorized in the types of gemini, cyclodextrin based, polymeric surfactants etc. Due to their some interesting properties such as nontoxicity, higher rate of biodegradability, high foaming capacity and optimal activity at extreme conditions like temperatures, pH and salinity, surfactants have been increasingly attracting the attention of the scientific and industrial community. Biocompatible, biodegradable, and/or nontoxic emulsion-based formulations of surfactants have great potential for applications in the food preparation and processing. Basics of surfactants and mainly there way of utility as food emulsifiers in food industries is thoroughly discussed.

Prohibition revisited: county alcohol control consequences. (1993)

This study examined measures of alcohol abuse consequences in wet vs dry counties in Kentucky. Data were gathered from all counties of the state for the year 1988. Dry counties had less alcohol-related auto accidents and DUI arrests. Other alcohol-related variables, such as cirrhosis mortality, were not significantly different between wet and dry counties. When demographic variables were also considered, it was determined that the advantage enjoyed by dry counties remained. Findings indicate that county-level alcohol prohibition is effective in promoting the public's health, by improving highway safety.
Energy Efficient Mobile Target Tracking Using Flying Drones (2013)

This paper focuses on the energy efficiency problem where camera equipped flying drones are able to detect and follow mobile events that happen on the ground. We give a mathematical formulation of the problem of minimizing the total energy consumption of a fleet of drones when coverage of all events is required. Due to the extremely high complexity of the binary optimization problem, the optimum solution cannot be obtained even for small instances. On the contrary, we present LAS, a localized solution for the aforementioned problem which takes into account the ability of the drones to fly at lower altitudes in order to conserve energy. We simulate LAS and we compare its performance to a centralized algorithm and to an approach that uses static drones to cover all the terrain. Our findings show that LAS performs similar to the centralized algorithm, while it outperforms the static approach by up to 150% in terms of consumed energy. Finally, the simulation results show that LAS is very sustainable in presence of communication errors.
Greening the Economy (2010)

Professor Bob Williams examines the essential elements that give ecosystems their durability. These key characteristics are: self-regulating cycles of key materials, a plentiful and durable energy source, an ability to adjust to changing circumstances, and the capacity for resiliency in the face of unpredictable disruptions. In separate chapters, each of these natural attributes are applied to our economy and 20 polices are recommended to shift our economy toward each of these objectives. The policies include marketable waste emission permits, a "carbon" tax, split-rate property taxation, environmental assurance bonds, a revamped home mortgage deduction, and an inheritance tax. These policies function to implement the principle of full-cost pricing in order to ensure market incentives that encourage environmentally temperate behaviour and decisions. This book will be of interest to students of Ecology and Economics, at undergraduate and postgraduate level alike, as well as anyone seeking an understanding of key ecological concepts that are critical to fully appreciating the role of natural capital in our economic affairs
Contextual Outlier Interpretation (2017)

Outlier detection plays an essential role in many data-driven applications to identify isolated instances that are different from the majority. While many statistical learning and data mining techniques have been used for developing more effective outlier detection algorithms, the interpretation of detected outliers does not receive much attention. Interpretation is becoming increasingly important to help people trust and evaluate the developed models through providing intrinsic reasons why the certain outliers are chosen. It is difficult, if not impossible, to simply apply feature selection for explaining outliers due to the distinct characteristics of various detection models, complicated structures of data in certain applications, and imbalanced distribution of outliers and normal instances. In addition, the role of contrastive contexts where outliers locate, as well as the relation between outliers and contexts, are usually overlooked in interpretation. To tackle the issues above, in this paper, we propose a novel Contextual Outlier INterpretation (COIN) method to explain the abnormality of existing outliers spotted by detectors. The interpretability for an outlier is achieved from three aspects: outlierness score, attributes that contribute to the abnormality, and contextual description of its neighborhoods. Experimental results on various types of datasets demonstrate the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework compared with existing interpretation approaches.
Contemporary approaches to the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (2018)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder in women in their reproductive years and is characterized by androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian morphology. It is also associated with several metabolic abnormalities, particularly insulin resistance and obesity, which play an important role in the pathophysiology of PCOS and, in particular, negatively influence ovarian function and fertility. This review article summarizes the available treatment for women with PCOS. Specifically, current and potentially new therapies are discussed.
Effects of ambient-temperature variations on glow-discharge tube characteristics (1954)

Temperature/running-voltage characteristics of nine British types of glow-discharge tube and one German type have been obtained and are discussed. Many of the curves exhibit minima, i.e. the temperature coefficient of running voltage changes from negative, through zero, to positive values.
Tungsten etching in pulsed SF6 plasmas (1994)

Tungsten etching in pulsed plasmas has been investigated in a helicon plasma source reactor. The time dependence of the fluorine atom concentration has been measured using the time-resolved actinometry technique and related to the etch rate. According to our observations, it appears that fluorine adsorption on the tungsten substrate surface continues in the post-discharge period until the surface saturates. Moreover, it appears that two etching regimes exist. For short discharge off periods, the etching is limited by the fluorine adsorption ability of the surface, whereas for long periods, the etching is limited by the desorption rate of the etch products. Experiments were performed at different substrate temperatures and plasma gas pressures. An empirical model has been developed, in good agreement with the experimental data.
