Reduced Cluster Search ML Decoding for QO-STBC Systems (2009)

Since the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding results too complex when the modulation order and the number of receive antennas increase, an efficient reduced complexity ML-based decoding scheme applied to a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems with quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QO-STBC) is proposed, and named reduced cluster search ML decoding (RCS-ML). Its performance and complexity aspects are compared to the conventional ML decoding approach. High-order modulation indexes and short low density parity check codes (LDPC) are considered. Numerical results have indicated no degradation in the performance and an increasing reduction in the complexity of RCS-ML decoding with respect to the conventional ML when the modulation order increases.
Caracterização genética de acessos de egéria (Egeria spp.) coletados no estado de São Paulo utilizando RAPD (2003)

Este trabalho constituiu-se na análise da variabilidade genética de acessos de egéria (Egeria spp.) coletados em sete reservatórios de geração de energia do Estado de São Paulo. Foi utilizada a técnica de RAPD (DNA polimórfico amplificado ao acaso), na qual seis primers (X03, Y09, Y11, Z11, Z12 e W06) permitiram a análise de 23 locos polimórficos na espécie Egeria densa. Os materiais dos reservatórios de Nova Avanhandava e Promissão foram os mais semelhantes geneticamente, visto que se localizam em seqüência no rio Tietê. Os reservatórios de Salto Grande e Promissão apresentaram plantas com o maior índice de distância genética (0,1792). Para a espécie Egeria najas foram analisados 52 locos polimórficos, resultantes da amplificação de nove primers (X01, X02, X03, X05, X09, X10, X11, Z11 e Z13). A maior distância genética verificada foi de 0,2791, entre os reservatórios de Ibitinga e Jupiá, como conseqüência da distância geográfica entre esses reservatórios.
Methods for inoculating field crops with mycorrhizal fungi (1981)

SUMMARY Four methods were compared for inoculating red clover with selected mycorrhizal fungi when sown in a field containing an indigenous mycorrhizal population. The largest amount of mycorrhizal infection (around 65% of root length infected) was obtained by placing inoculum with the seeds in furrows. The inoculum used was standard soil inoculum from stock plant cultures spread by hand or the same inoculum concentrated to about one seventh by wet‐sieving, and then fluid‐drilled. The effectiveness of multiseeded pellets (seeds stuck onto pellets of soil inoculum) applied broadcast was more variable, infection ranging widely around an average of 30%. Applying both soil inoculum and seeds broadcast produced just under 10% infection, similar to that in the controls given autoclaved inoculum. Seedling establishment, in contrast, was‐better where seeds were applied broadcast than in furrows. It seemed therefore that multiseeded pellets might be the best compromise for achieving reasonable infection in most plants, but fluid drilling had the advantages of greatly reducing the amount of inoculum needed and of readily combining seeds and inoculum in a single carrier.
Analysis of Data Reduction Strategy used in TA Instruments Q800 DMA Test System (2013)

Abstract : The Composites Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratory?s Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/RXCC) has observed anomalies in Q800 Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) testing of fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites related to both temperature dependence of the storage and loss moduli and to dependency of these data on specimen thickness using the dual-cantilever beam (DCB) clamp. Two factors are examined in detail: shear area factors used in the DCB stiffness calculations and coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the test specimen and the test frame. It is hoped this document will foster technical discussion with original equipment manufacturers of DMA instruments.
Automated identification of sensitive data from implicit user specification (2018)

The sensitivity of information is dependent on the context of application and user preference. Protecting sensitive data in the cloud era requires identifying them in the first place. It typically needs intensive manual efforts. More importantly, users may specify sensitive information only through an implicit manner. Existing research efforts on identifying sensitive data from its descriptive texts focus on keyword/phrase searching. These approaches can have high false positives/negatives as they do not consider the semantics of the descriptions. In this paper, we propose S3, an automated approach to identify sensitive data based on users’ implicit specifications. Our approach considers semantic, syntactic and lexical information comprehensively, aiming to identify sensitive data by the semantics of its descriptive texts. We introduce the notion concept space to represent the user’s notion of privacy, by which our approach can support flexible user requirements in defining sensitive data. Our approach is able to learn users’ preferences from readable concepts initially provided by users, and automatically identify related sensitive data. We evaluate our approach on over 18,000 top popular applications from Google Play Store. S3 achieves an average precision of 89.2%, and average recall 95.8% in identifying sensitive data.
Charged particle detectors based on high quality amorphous silicon deposited with hydrogen or helium dilution of silane (1995)

The electrical transport properties of our PECVD a-Si:H material has been improved by using hydrogen and/or helium dilution of silane and a lower substrate temperature for deposition. For hydrogen-diluted material we have measured electron and hole mobilities /spl sim/4 times larger, and /spl mu//spl tau/ values 2-3 times higher than for our standard a-Si:H. The density of ionized dangling bonds (N/sub D/*) also showed a factor of 5-10 improvement. Due to its higher conductivity, the improved a-Si:H material is more suitable than conventional a-Si:H for TFT applications. However, it is difficult to make thick layers by H-dilution because of high internal stress. On the other hand, thick detectors can be made at a faster rate and lower stress by low temperature deposition with He-dilution and subsequent annealing. The internal stress, which causes substrate bending and delamination, was reduced by a factor of 4 to /spl sim/90 MPa, while the electronic quality was kept as good as that of the standard material. By this technique 35 /spl mu/m-thick n-i-p diodes were made without significant substrate bending, and the electronic properties, such as electron mobility and ionized dangling bond density, were suitable for detecting minimum ionizing particles.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Effect of Stevia rebaudiana on glucose tolerance in normal adult humans. (1986)

The effect of aqueous extracts of Stevia rebaudiana leaves on a glucose tolerance test was investigated in 16 normal volunteers. Aqueous extracts of 5 grams of leaves were administered to volunteers at regular 6-h intervals for 3 days. Glucose tolerance tests were performed before and after extract administration. A second group of 6 normal volunteers who ingested an aqueous arabinose solution was also studied to eliminate possible stress effects. The extract of Stevia rebaudiana increased glucose tolerance. The extract significantly decreased plasma glucose levels during the test and after overnight fasting in all volunteers.

Suppression of hyaluronic acid synthesis in synovial organ cultures by corticosteroid suspensions (1985)

The effects of sparingly soluble corticosteroid suspensions prepared for intraarticular therapy, of their vehicles, and of hydrocortisone on synovial hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis were compared in organ cultures of normal canine villous synovium. Both hydrocortisone and the corticosteroid suspensions suppressed HA synthesis, as did 2 vehicle components, polysorbate 80 and myristyl-gamma-picrolinium chloride. Cultures of synovium from joints of dogs which, 1 day previously, had been injected with methylprednisolone acetate suspension synthesized less HA than did control cultures from noninjected joints of the same animals. The results indicate that suppression of HA synthesis is a mechanism by which these drugs can act to reduce joint HA content and promote resolution of synovial effusions.
A simple method for determining the relative-gain of a flashlamp-pumped dye laser (1978)

When a dye laser is tuned with a filter, the slope of the curve of gain plotted against wavelength causes the lasing wavelength to be displaced towards the centre of the gain curve. The form of the gain curve can be deduced from measured values of the displacement.
Mobility Management of IEEE 802.16e Networks (2008)

With the fast proliferation of mobile Internet, the wireless community has been increasingly looking for a framework that can provide seamless mobility. In this paper, we propose a fast cross-layer handover scheme based on movement prediction in mobile WiMAX environment. Prediction is achieved by linear regression model with keeping track of the signal strength of mobile users. With the help of the prediction, layer-3 handover activities are able to occur prior to layer-2 handover, and therefore, total handover latency can be reduced. The experiments conducted with system parameters and propagation model defined by WiMAX Forum demonstrate that the proposed method predicts the future signal level accurately and reduces the total handover latency. Key words: Handover, Cross-layer, WiMAX.
Cu-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks as a Catalyst To Construct a Ratiometric Electrochemical Aptasensor for Sensitive Lipopolysaccharide Detection (2015)

In this work, we developed a sensitive and efficient ratiometric electrochemical method for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) detection using Cu-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) as a catalyst and target-triggered quadratic cycles for signal amplification. First, in the presence of target LPS, the conformation change of the specifically designed hairpin probes 1 (HP1) triggered the target cyclic-induced polymerization to produce the output DNA with the aid of phi29 DNA polymerase (phi29). Then, the obtained output DNA hybridized with ferrocene-labeled hairpin probes 2 (Fc-HP2, which were immobilized on the electrode) to generate a nicking endonuclease (N.BstNBI) cleavage site. Thus, with N.BstNBI, the original signal molecules of Fc left from the electrode, and the single-stranded capture-probe-modified sensing interface was obtained. At this time, signal probes conducted by Au-nanoparticles-functionalized Cu-MOFs and labeled hairpin probes 3 (HP3/AuNPs/Cu-MOFs) were hybridized with capture probes for hairpin assembly. Herein, AuNPs/Cu-MOFs were not only used as nanocarriers for immobilizing HP3 but also acted as electroactive materials for signal reporting. With the proposed target-triggered quadratic cycles, the cleavage sites of Fc-HP2 were cut, and capture probes were obtained to hybridize with HP3/AuNPs/Cu-MOFs, which caused the signal decrease of Fc. Then Cu-MOFs were closed to the electrode for the signal increase of Cu-MOFs. Furthermore, when glucose was present in the detection solution, AuNPs/Cu-MOFs catalyzed the oxidation of glucose to realize the enzyme-free signal amplification. By measuring the peak currents ratio of the Cu-MOFs and Fc, the proposed aptasenor for LPS detection showed a low detection limit (0.33 fg/mL) and a wide linear range from 1.0 fg/mL to 100 ng/mL with high accuracy and sensitivity. This ratiometric electrochemical approach is expected to be a valuable strategy for detection of other analytes.
Synergy between microwave irradiation and heterogeneous catalysis in an environmentally friendly self-condensation of hydroxybenzene derivatives (2009)

Self-condensation of 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene and 3,5-dimethoxyphenol using solid acid catalysts and microwave irradiation produces polyhydroxy-substituted biphenyl derivatives in moderate to good yields. Condensation of 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene with p-benzoquinone gives 2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl derivatives in good yields. On using classical heating these reactions do not occur or afford only traces of the desired products.
The NPL standard humidity generator: an analysis of uncertainty by validation of individual component performance (1992)

The NPL standard humidity generator-the reference for traceable humidity calibrations in the United Kingdom-has been validated by assessment of the performance of individual components of the generator system. The investigation has explored the effects of saturator efficiency, temperature conditioning of the gas, desorption, leaks, pressure variation and other factors that contribute to the uncertainty in dew-points generated by this instrument. The results of these experiments have led to some improvements in the design of the standard. Repeatability of overall performance has been monitored over a period of two years. The improvements in design, together with better characterization of the performance of the instrument, have enabled a smaller uncertainty in generated dew-point to be assigned. This uncertainty is now +or-0.05 degrees C dew-point in the middle of the operating range, rising to +or-0.08 degrees C and +or-0.15 degrees C dew-point at the upper and lower extremes of the range: +80 degrees C and -75 degrees C dew-point respectively.
Fetal movements and fetal outcome: a prospective study. (1981)

Two hundred sixty-four antenatal patients were monitored by maternal observation of fetal movements to predict fetal condition at birth. Abnormal fetal movements were significantly associated with fetal death as well as with poor fetal condition at birth. The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of monitoring abnormal fetal movements are presented. The mean weekly count decreased with advanced gestational age but not predictably so in each patient. Fetal outcome was studied prospectively in 138 patients with normal fetal movements and 23 patients with abnormal movements at term. Perinatal outcome was significantly poorer in the group with abnormal movements (P = .0015). Cognizance should be taken of patients reporting a decrease in fetal activity at term, as this may include fetal compromise.
Characterization and Quantitation of Antioxidant Constituents of Sweet Pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum </i>L.) (2004)

Sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Vergasa have been studied at four maturity stages (immature green, green, immature red, and red). The individual phenolics (hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids), vitamin C (ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid), and individual carotenoids were characterized and quantified. Five hydroxycinnamic derivatives and 23 flavonoids were characterized and quantified from the pericarp of sweet pepper by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Identification was carried out by their UV spectra, chromatographic comparisons with authentic markers, identification of hydrolysis products, and tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Hydroxycinnamic derivatives, O-glycosides of quercetin, luteolin, and chrysoeriol, and a large number of C-glycosyl flavones have been characterized. Some of these compounds were found for the first time in nature. Clear differences in the individual and total phenolic content were detected between the different maturity stages. Immature green pepper had a very high phenolic content while green, immature red, and red ripe peppers showed a 4-5-fold reduction. Ascorbic acid was the main form of vitamin C, and its content increased as the pepper reached maturity. The red ripe stage had a relevant impact on the carotenoids content. Thus, immature green peppers showed the highest content of polyphenols, while red ripe fruits had the highest content of vitamin C and provitamin A.
The coding sequence for the 32,000-dalton pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A is located on chromosome 10 and identifies two separate restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms. (1987)

The primary protein component of human pulmonary surfactant is a 32,000-dalton glycoprotein called surfactant-associated protein A. This protein is important for normal lung function, and its expression is developmentally regulated. Using a mapping panel of somatic-cell hybrids, we have localized the coding sequence for pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A to chromosome 10. Additionally, this sequence identifies two separate MspI restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms. Since there is a relative lack of polymorphic markers for chromosome 10, this sequence may be useful in linkage analysis.
A comparison of single-cell trajectory inference methods (2019)

Trajectory inference approaches analyze genome-wide omics data from thousands of single cells and computationally infer the order of these cells along developmental trajectories. Although more than 70 trajectory inference tools have already been developed, it is challenging to compare their performance because the input they require and output models they produce vary substantially. Here, we benchmark 45 of these methods on 110 real and 229 synthetic datasets for cellular ordering, topology, scalability and usability. Our results highlight the complementarity of existing tools, and that the choice of method should depend mostly on the dataset dimensions and trajectory topology. Based on these results, we develop a set of guidelines to help users select the best method for their dataset. Our freely available data and evaluation pipeline ( https://benchmark.dynverse.org ) will aid in the development of improved tools designed to analyze increasingly large and complex single-cell datasets.
Oil (1991)

Military intervention is our theme, but the oil dispute was the trigger and must be briefly explained. A concession to drill for oil in Persia was granted in 1901 to William Knox d'Arcy, an Englishman who had made a fortune in Australia. In 1905, when the drillers he sent to Persia had spent much of his money and found little oil, he joined forces with a British concern, the Burmah Oil Company. They were already supplying some oil to the British navy, then mainly coal-burning. In 1908 serious oil was struck and in 1909 the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was founded. By 1913 a pipeline carried some 30 000 gallons a day to the small refinery that had just been built on the hitherto desert island of Abadan. The wells were in the hills of south-western Persia and the island of Abadan lay on the Persian side of the estuary dividing Persia from Iraq: the Shatt al Arab.KeywordsAmerican AdmirerIranian PeopleAmerican WriterNational FrontDesert IslandThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Separating a Real-Life Nonlinear Image Mixture (2005)

When acquiring an image of a paper document, the image printed on the back page sometimes shows through. The mixture of the front- and back-page images thus obtained is markedly nonlinear, and thus constitutes a good real-life test case for nonlinear blind source separation.This paper addresses a difficult version of this problem, corresponding to the use of onion skin paper, which results in a relatively strong nonlinearity of the mixture, which becomes close to singular in the lighter regions of the images. The separation is achieved through the MISEP technique, which is an extension of the well known INFOMAX method. The separation results are assessed with objective quality measures. They show an improvement over the results obtained with linear separation, but have room for further improvement.

Overweight cats: prevalence and risk factors. (1994)

Body condition was assessed by owners and veterinarians for over 2000 cats presented to 31 private veterinary hospitals in the Northeastern United States. Each owner completed a questionnaire querying potential factors associated with his/her cat's body condition. Veterinarians reported twenty-five percent of cats were overweight (heavy or obese), while owners estimated 29% of their pets were overweight. Apartment dwelling, inactivity, middle age, being male, neutered, of mixed breeding, and certain dietary factors were associated with being overweight.
Modelling, developing and implementing sub-sea power-line communications networks (2005)

The development of suitable communication systems and the planning of power-line communication networks require models of the transfer characteristics of the mains network for that particular environment. Power-line communications (PLC) presents itself as an economical solution to the sub-sea and marine environment in comparison to fibre optics and others. This paper offers results of calculation, measurement and near real time simulation, which justify and fulfils the performance requirement of the present sub-sea communications. The methodology is now part of an ongoing research to establish a unique and smart approach to the design of future sub-sea umbilical cables capable of transmitting data at higher frequencies.
Hybrid Live P2P Streaming Protocol (2014)

A considerable part of the Internet traffic is due to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocols. The scalability of the P2P networks encourages implementing many P2P applications such as the file sharing, the media on demand and the live streaming. While many P2P solutions have been proposed the media freshness and the smooth media playback are still a challenging issues in the P2P live streaming. In this paper we propose the Hybrid Live P2P Streaming Protocol (HLPSP) which a live P2P streaming system based on a hybrid overlay (tree and mesh topology). The simulation results show that HLPSP outperforms the enhanced version of the famous CoolStreaming P2P system called DenaCast in terms of the startup delay, the end-to-end delay, the play-back delay and the data loss.
