Colorimetric background estimation for color blending reduction of OST-HMD (2016)

In an augmented reality scenario, the perceived image of OST-HMD contains color distortion due to background color blending. In order to reduce color blending, accurate estimation of background color is necessary. In this paper, we perform colorimetric estimation of background using camera images, via local linear regression. Using the estimated background color, virtual image is compensated. Experimental results show that the proposed colorimetric background estimation closely estimates the background color within an error of 1.635 degrees, and that the color blending reduction error typically falls under 5 degrees in most cases.
Qualidade nutricional das proteínas de cupuaçu e de cacau (2008)

O cupuaçu desponta como um importante produto agrícola de exportação com ampla perspectiva de mercado devido à aceitação que desfruta entre os consumidores regionais e de outros estados do país. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade protéica de produtos em pó formulados com amêndoas torradas de cupuaçu e cacau. De acordo com o ensaio biológico Net Protein Ratio, realizado a partir de dietas contendo 10% de proteína na proporção de cupuaçu ou cacau:caseína (50:50), verificou-se que as proteínas do cupuaçu apresentaram valor biológico significativamente superior (p < 0,05) ao das proteínas de cacau, promovendo aumento de peso dos animais 57,4% maior. No que se refere às necessidades diárias para crianças e adultos, o perfil aminoacídico das proteínas do cupuaçu teve desempenho superior ao das proteínas do cacau.
Analysis of Ambient Concentrations of Organic Vapors with a Passive Sampler (1987)

Volatile organic compounds can contribute to the failure of electronic equipment in both switching offices and data centers. They can also be useful indicators of ventilation needs. Only within the past decade have ambient concentrations of volatile organics been measured routinely. In standard sampling approach, a pump is used to pull a known volume of air through an adsorbent. This study examines a sampling procedure that does not use a pump, but instead depends on molecular diffusion for eventual contact between the vapor phase compounds and the charcoal sorbent (passive sampling). The technique is both simpler and less expensive than active sampling with a pump. This method has been validated for low-level sampling over extended time intervals. This study demonstrates that collected amounts vary linearly with airborne concentrations for sampling intervals in excess of four weeks: even after eight weeks of sampling at typical ambient concentrations, the amount of material collected does not approach the capacity of the sorbent. The method is applicable for concentrations spanning six orders of magnitude; reproducibility averages 13 percent of the mean value; and the sensitivity is excellent (0.06 μg/m3 or roughly 0.015 ppbv for a compound with a molecular weight of 100). The procedure has already been used successfully to monitor indoor air quality at almost a dozen telephone office and data center sites.
Effect of Method of Feeding Methionine and Potassium Orotate to Young Calves (1957)

Twenty-one calves of the Holstein, Guernsey, and Jersey breeds were divided into three comparable groups. They were allowed to nurse once, then removed from their dams and confined to individual pens. The colostral period was four days, whole milk was fed for five through 21 days, then reconstituted skimmilk was fed. Chopped Alyce clover hay and mixed concentrates were always available. The rations were adequate in vitamins and minerals. When potassium orotate and methionine were fed, either by capsule or in milk, the calves gained 25% more weight than their controls. Height at withers and efficiency of feed conversion were unaffected. Editw'.
Prediction of Risk Generated by Different Driving Patterns and Their Conflict Redistribution (2018)

In this paper, risk level correlation and classification using belief functions based on driving activities' data about sharp transient maneuvering tasks, legal speed exceeding, and average speed ensuing with the human being who is controlling the technical system, i.e., the car, is presented. A dataset is constituted by time stamped and geographically referenced driving maneuver information, which is exceptionally reported when an acceleration exceeds the given threshold in both longitudinal and lateral direction. Risk level is labeled in terms of the change in total vehicle collision property damage cost for the analyzed time period, and long term driving activities' magnitude and frequency is divided into two equal time periods, which are used to predict risk levels. Redistribution of conflicts generated by driving activities is used to predict the future risk level of involvement in an accident. Using fuzzy approach a microaveraged F-measure 90.98% is achieved by Dubois-Parade and PCR6 conflict redistribution methods.

Experimental validation of power and torque thruster control (2005)

Results from laboratory experiments with an electrically driven propeller controlled by three different control systems are presented, showing the advantages of torque and power thruster control over shaft speed control. For fixed pitch propellers, the industrial standard today is shaft speed control based on a static mapping from desired thrust force to desired shaft speed. When the operating conditions change due to vessel motion, waves and current, the propeller loading changes. The results are fluctuating thrust production and load torque, which lead to mechanical wear and tear and unpredictable power consumption. This may lead to severe deterioration of the performance of a vessel; the power fluctuations force the operators to have more generators running than necessary, and the mechanical wear and tear lead to vessel down-time due to repairs. Alternatives to shaft speed control are torque and power control, based on static mappings from desired thrust to desired torque and power respectively. This paper demonstrates by experimental results that significant performance improvements can be achieved by changing to torque or power thruster control

We show, using Boltzmann transport calculations and analysis of experimental data, that hexagonal PdCoO2 and PtCoO2 have a highly unusual metallic transport. The in-plane transport is typical of a very good metal, with high conductivity and low positive thermopower. The c-axis transport is completely different, with 2 orders of magnitude lower, but still coherent, conductivity and remarkably a very large negative thermopower. This large anisotropy of the thermopower provides an opportunity for investigating transport in a highly unusual regime using bulk materials.
High gain DC-DC boost converter with a coupling inductor (2009)

This paper presents a design, mathematical modeling, simulation results and laboratory implementation of a 300 W high gain dc-dc boost converter with a coupled inductor, to step up the 24 V of a battery bank to 311 Vdc, aiming to supply residential loads with dc voltage in an off-grid PV system. The converter can supply most of the residential ac loads which input stage is a single-phase rectifier. Laboratory tests with the 300 W converter supplying electronic lights, mobile charger and audio-video system ac showed the viability of the proposed idea.
The Static and Dynamic Sensitivity of Magnetostrictive Bioinspired Whisker Sensor (2018)

Magnetostrictive bioinspired whisker is a new kind of sensor that can realize tactile and flow sensing by utilizing magnetoelastic effect. The sensitivity is a key technical indicator of whisker sensor. The paper presented a new magnetostrictive whisker based on Galfenol cantilever beam, as well as its operation principle. Then, the static and dynamic sensitivity of the whisker sensor was investigated by using a self-made experimental system. The results illustrated that the proposed sensor has a high sensitivity. Its static sensitivity is 2.2 mV/mN. However, its dynamic sensitivity depends on the vibration frequency. When working at the natural frequency of the cantilever beam, the dynamic sensitivity performs an obvious increase—1.3 mV/mN at 3.5 Hz (the first-order natural frequency) and 2.1 mV/mN at 40 Hz (the second-order natural frequency), respectively.

Cefoperazone Prevents the Inactivation of α<sub>1</sub>-Antitrypsin by Activated Neutrophils (1999)

At sites of neutrophilic inflammation, tissue injury by neutrophil elastase is favored by phagocyte-induced hypochlorous acid-dependent inactivation of the natural elastase inhibitor alpha(1)-antitrypsin. In the present study, cefoperazone prevented alpha(1)-antitrypsin inactivation by neutrophils and reduced the recovery of hypochlorous acid from these cells. Moreover, the antibiotic reduced the free elastase activity in a neutrophil suspension supplemented with alpha(1)-antitrypsin without affecting the cells' ability to release elastase. These data suggest that the drug inactivates hypochlorous acid before its reaction with alpha(1)-antitrypsin, thereby permitting the antiprotease-mediated blockade of released elastase. In conclusion, cefoperazone appears to have the potential for limiting elastase-antielastase imbalances, attenuating the related tissue injury at sites of inflammation.

A public-key based dynamic password scheme (2002)

A dynamic password authentication scheme based on public-key concept is proposed. The login password is changed dynamically and users can use this scheme within a remote login environment. Since we employ the public-key concept to bind each user's password to that user's identification, we eliminate the necessity for the system to store the encrypted password file. This approach has greatly reduced the risk of cracking the password from attacking the encrypted password file. In addition, the amount of information needed to be stored in the host system is reduced.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Distributed utility maximization for network coding based multicasting: a shortest path approach (2006)

One central issue in practically deploying network coding is the adaptive and economic allocation of network resource. We cast this as an optimization, where the net-utility-the difference between a utility derived from the attainable multicast throughput and the total cost of resource provisioning-is maximized. By employing the MAX of flows characterization of the admissible rate region for multicasting, this paper gives a novel reformulation of the optimization problem, which has a separable structure. The Lagrangian relaxation method is applied to decompose the problem into subproblems involving one destination each. Our specific formulation of the primal problem results in two key properties. First, the resulting subproblem after decomposition amounts to the problem of finding a shortest path from the source to each destination. Second, assuming the net-utility function is strictly concave, our proposed method enables a near-optimal primal variable to be uniquely recovered from a near-optimal dual variable. A numerical robustness analysis of the primal recovery method is also conducted. For ill-conditioned problems that arise, for instance, when the cost functions are linear, we propose to use the proximal method, which solves a sequence of well-conditioned problems obtained from the original problem by adding quadratic regularization terms. Furthermore, the simulation results confirm the numerical robustness of the proposed algorithms. Finally, the proximal method and the dual subgradient method can be naturally extended to provide an effective solution for applications with multiple multicast sessions.

Vibrational spectroscopic study of minerals in the Martian meteorite ALH 84001 (1999)

Micro-Raman spectra of carbonates, silica and amorphous plagioclase, and both micro-Raman and IR reflectance spectra of phosphates in ALH84001 are reported. Data from these vibrational techniques combined with electron microprobe analyses show that (1) the carbonates exhibit complex compositional heterogeneity on a sub-micrometer scale, (2) the phosphates, chlorapatite and merrillite, are largely anhydrous, (3) amorphous silica and plagioclase experienced peak shock pres­sures >32 GPa and >50 GPa, respectively, and (4) vitreous plagioclase was quenched from a shock- induced melt after relaxation of the peak shock pressure. The observed general Raman band broadening of lattice and internal modes of carbonates in ALH84001 indicates complex sub-microscopic compo­sitional heterogeneity and possibly structural disorder. Any search for biogenic markers in ALH84001 must recognize the complex shock and thermal history of these minerals.

Changes in the Photophysical Properties with Heavy Atoms and the Effects of Modulus for 4-Phenylphenol in Solid-Matrix Luminescence (1992)

Fluorescence and phosphorescence quantum yields and fluorescence and phosphorescence lifetimes were obtained for 4-phenylphenol adsorbed on filter paper with either NaCl, NaBr, or Nal at 296 and 93 K. From these data several photophysical parameters were calculated and compared. In general, the photophysical data showed that the heavy-atom effect was operative, with NaI showing the greatest effect. However, NaBr at 93 K showed both the heavy-atom effect and another effect which was particular to NaBr. For 4-phenylphenol with NaI, very little increase occurred for the phosphorescence quantum yield from 296 to 93 K, which indicated that almost maximum phosphorescence quantum yield was achieved at room temperature for 4-phenylphenol with NaI present. The increase in phosphorescence lifetime for 4-phenylphenol from room temperature to low temperature was shown to be related to the increase in the Young's modulus of filter paper as the temperature was lowered. Calculated phosphorescence lifetimes at room temperature and at low temperature with equations that included Young's modulus values agreed very well with experimental lifetime values.
Nucleotide Sequence, Structural Investigation and Homology Modeling Studies of a Ca<sup>2+</sup>-independent α-amylase with Acidic pH-profile (2007)

The novel alpha-amylase purified from locally isolated strain, Bacillus sp. KR-8104, (KRA) (Enzyme Microb Technol; 2005; 36: 666-671) is active in a wide range of pH. The enzyme maximum activity is at pH 4.0 and it retains 90% of activity at pH 3.5. The irreversible thermoinactivation patterns of KRA and the enzyme activity are not changed in the presence and absence of Ca(2+) and EDTA. Therefore, KRA acts as a Ca(2+)-independent enzyme. Based on circular dichroism (CD) data from thermal unfolding of the enzyme recorded at 222 nm, addition of Ca(2+) and EDTA similar to its irreversible thermoinactivation, does not influence the thermal denaturation of the enzyme and its T(m). The amino acid sequence of KRA was obtained from the nucleotide sequencing of PCR products of encoding gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme revealed a very high sequence homology to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BAA) (85% identity, 90% similarity) and Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylases (BLA) (81% identity, 88% similarity). To elucidate and understand these characteristics of the alpha-amylase, a model of 3D structure of KRA was constructed using the crystal structure of the mutant of BLA as the platform and refined with a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation program. Interestingly enough, there is only one amino acid substitution for KRA in comparison with BLA and BAA in the region involved in the calcium-binding sites. On the other hand, there are many amino acid differences between BLA and KRA at the interface of A and B domains and around the metal triad and active site area. These alterations could have a role in stabilizing the native structure of the loop in the active site cleft and maintenance and stabilization of the putative metal triad-binding site. The amino acid differences at the active site cleft and around the catalytic residues might affect their pKa values and consequently shift its pH profile. In addition, the intrinsic fluorescence intensity of the enzyme at 350 nm does not show considerable change at pH 3.5-7.0.

Anticoagulants and cancer. A review. (1976)

Anticoagulants (heparin, warfarin, fibrinolysin and others) reduced incidence of cancer metastases by inhibiting the formation of a fibrin matrix indispensable for peripheral fixation of circulating cancer cells. Apart from their specific anticoagulant activity most of these substances interfere directly with cell growth and metabolism, stimulating also immunologic anticancer mechanism. In clinical cases, favourable results have been obtained in various forms of metastasizing cancer, and especially in Hodgkin's disease and leukemias, by combining anticoagulant and cytostatic treatment. The results observed in other forms of cancer, though promising, are still controversial. The potential dangers and side effects of anticoagulant treatment in cancer are discussed.
Identifying players in broadcast sports videos using conditional random fields (2011)

We are interested in the problem of automatic tracking and identification of players in broadcast sport videos shot with a moving camera from a medium distance. While there are many good tracking systems, there are fewer methods that can identify the tracked players. Player identification is challenging in such videos due to blurry facial features (due to fast camera motion and low-resolution) and rarely visible jersey numbers (which, when visible, are deformed due to player movements). We introduce a new system consisting of three components: a robust tracking system, a robust person identification system, and a conditional random field (CRF) model that can perform joint probabilistic inference about the player identities. The resulting system is able to achieve a player recognition accuracy up to 85% on unlabeled NBA basketball clips.
