Cost impacts of real-time non-intrusive (RTNI) monitoring technology to real-time embedded systems (2002)

The use of RTNI monitoring has had an impact on life cycle costs of existing programs through a reduction in debug time. Other areas in which RTNI monitoring can provide potential benefits to future programs are through the use of increased dynamic testing and the sharing of test time among more engineers. There are a number of areas in which software life cycle costs are impacted by various cost drivers. To determine which areas were affected by the use of RTNI monitoring, a panel of expert users of RTNI monitoring was created using a form of the Nominal Group Technique methodology to achieve group consensus. The group concluded that the areas described above were most important to their programs. However, merely using RTNI monitoring alone may not have an impact on future programs; management commitment to integrate RTNI monitoring into test programs is also necessary for success.
L.A.S.E.R. (Light Aircraft Solar Extended Range) (2014)

With the aviation sector becoming a notable contributor to atmospheric pollution, there is a quantum-shift in the technology of air travel. A radical re-think is occurring in not only how aircrafts are designed but also what they are actually made of. L.A.S.E.R. (Light Aircraft Solar Extended Range) is a team of multi-disciplinary undergraduate students focused on designing, building, and testing a UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) which employs non-fossil fuel sources of energy to accomplish various missions. The goals of this research are to claim the record for the farthest distance travelled in a straight line by a solar-powered UAV (F5-SOL Category, FAI), to design and fly an aircraft that uses both hydrogen fuel cells and solar technology as a means to power onboard propulsion and electronic systems, and to continue to design and test eco-friendly UAVs that can accomplish a variety of missions. The team is currently constructing L.A.S.E.R. 5, a fully composite sailplane design, and testing circuit designs which safely charge the onboard battery using two power source systems, hydrogen fuel cells and a solar array. This project advances the state-of-the-science and demonstrates the practicality and feasibility of alternative sources of energy for aircraft to address varied missions.

Splanchnic insulin metabolism in obesity. Influence of body fat distribution. (1986)

The effects of obesity and body fat distribution on splanchnic insulin metabolism and the relationship to peripheral insulin sensitivity were assessed in 6 nonobese and 16 obese premenopausal women. When compared with the nonobese women, obese women had significantly greater prehepatic production and portal vein levels of insulin both basally and following glucose stimulation. This increase correlated with the degree of adiposity but not with waist-to-hip girth ratio (WHR). WHR, however, correlated inversely with the hepatic extraction fraction and directly with the posthepatic delivery of insulin. The latter correlated with the degree of peripheral insulinemia. The decline in hepatic insulin extraction with increasing WHR also correlated with the accompanying diminution in peripheral insulin sensitivity. Increasing adiposity is thus associated with insulin hypersecretion. The pronounced hyperinsulinemia of upper body fat localization, however, is due to an additional defect in hepatic insulin extraction. This defect is closely allied with the decline in peripheral insulin sensitivity.
Absolute Configuration and Total Synthesis of (+)-Curacin A, an Antiproliferative Agent from the Cyanobacterium <i>Lyngbya majuscula</i> (1997)

The absolute configuration of curacin A was determined as (2R,13R,19R,21S)-1 by comparison of degradation products 2 and 3 with the same materials prepared by asymmetric synthesis. The total synthesis of 1 was completed from (1R,2S)-2-methylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (8) and the amino alcohol derivative 46. The latter was prepared from 4-pentynal (14) and the Garner aldehyde (43). Asymmetric allylation of 14 followed by methylation of the derived alcohol 16 gave 17, which was subjected to zirconation−iodination to yield 18. The latter was coupled to the vinyl boronate 21, prepared from 4-pentynyl acetate (20), in the presence of Pd(0), and the resultant trienol 22 was converted to phosphonium iodide 24. Wittig reaction of the ylide from 24 with 43 afforded tetraene 44 which produced 45 upon methanolysis. The mesylate 46 was advanced to thioester 48 either by direct coupling with potassium thiolate 47 obtained from (−)-8 or indirectly via 49. The amino thioester liberated from 48 underwent thermal cyclization to give (+)-curacin A.

Indian Markets as Social Spaces (2019)

Markets serve as public gathering places for people from different cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic communities. They are considered as the integral constituent of urban development in order to provide the opportunities for recreational activities. They occupy an essential space within the public of cities in India. Streets not only determine the character of a place but also depict the lifestyle of the citizens. Social life revolves around the public spaces which have traditionally been the streets. They are important commercial and cultural spaces and promote quality of life within cities. In order to understand the design of the urban places as living corridors affecting the street market documentation was conducted in an Indira market of Dehradun. The study focuses on the elements that shape the street experience and culture at the scale of the city. This study enables us to analyse various design elements that affect the behaviour of the user. A market in Dehradun has been chosen for the study because of deliberate choice and practical considerations. The study is limited to the existing factors and its influence on the users. The aim of the study is to know how street markets being the most socially active spaces of the urban fabric of the city can be improved to make a user more comfortable.
MM-wave direct-to-home multichannel TV delivery system (2003)

Millimeter-wave multichannel multipoint video distribution service, known as M/sup 3/VDS, is a new means of delivering multichannel TV to the home. The authors describe the concept, outline the technology, and report on the demonstrator system operating at Saxmundham in England. To the home viewer this service offers programmes from all sources via a single entry point, its compact unobstructive antenna being environmentally attractive in comparison with alternatives. It is concluded that distribution by millimeter-waves has the potential to make a substantial impact on the TV market in some countries. Also, it could be one of the first high-volume civil applications for GaAs monolithic circuits at millimeter wavelengths.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Laryngoscopy force in the sniffing position compared to the extension‐extension position (2008)

Laryngoscopy is sometimes easier with the patient's head and neck in the extension-extension position (head extension with the neck extended by the head section of the table bent down at 30 degrees) rather than the classical 'sniffing the morning air' position. We therefore tested the hypothesis that the axial force required for laryngoscopy is less in the extension-extension than the sniffing position. We measured the force axial to the handle of a Macintosh 3 laryngoscope in 20 subjects under general anaesthesia who had been given neuromuscular blocking drugs. Measurement of force was made in the sniffing position and the extension-extension position. The mean (SD) axial force required in the extension-extension position was lower than in the sniffing position (19.6 (7.8) N versus 23.6 (8.6) N, p = 0.04). In the setting of routine tracheal intubation, less force is required when the patient is in the extension-extension position than in the sniffing position.
Fingerprinting of near-homogeneous DNA ligase I and II from human cells. Similarity of their AMP-binding domains. (1990)

DNA ligases play obligatory roles during replication, repair, and recombination. Multiple forms of DNA ligase have been reported in mammalian cells including DNA ligase I, the high molecular mass species which functions during replication, and DNA ligase II, the low molecular mass species which is associated with repair. In addition, alterations in DNA ligase activities have been reported in acute lymphocytic leukemia cells, Bloom's syndrome cells, and cells undergoing differentiation and development. To better distinguish the biochemical and molecular properties of the various DNA ligases from human cells, we have developed a method of purifying multiple species of DNA ligase from HeLa cells by chromatography through DEAE-Bio-Gel, CM-Bio-Gel, hydroxylapatite, Sephacryl S-300, Mono P, and DNA-cellulose. DNA-cellulose chromatography of the partially purified enzymes resolved multiple species of DNA ligase after labeling the enzyme with [alpha-32P]ATP to form the ligase-[32P]AMP adduct. The early eluting enzyme activity (0.25 M NaCl) contained a major 67-kDa-labeled protein, while the late eluting activity (0.48 M NaCl) contained two major labeled proteins of 90 and 78 kDa. Neutralization experiments with antiligase I antibodies indicated that the early and late eluting activity peaks were DNA ligase II and I, respectively. The three major ligase-[32P]AMP polypeptides (90, 78, and 67 kDa) were subsequently purified to near homogeneity by elution from preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. All three polypeptides retained DNA ligase activities after gel elution and renaturation. To further reveal the relationship between these enzymes, partial digestion by V8-protease was performed. All three purified polypeptides gave rise to a common 22-kDa-labeled fragment for their AMP-binding domains, indicating that the catalytic sites of ligase I and II are quite similar, if not identical. Similar findings were obtained from the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of their AMP-binding domains in the trypsin-digested protein fragments. The results also suggested that these isozymes have been derived from the same primordial DNA sequence or from the same precursor protein. The purification scheme and the data obtained will be instrumental for the further elucidation of the biological roles of various DNA ligases from human cells.
Employers Beware: The Ninth Circuit's Rejection of the "Direct Threat to Self" Disability Discrimination Defense in Echazabal v. Chevron (2001)

This study evidence for tension transmission by microtubules and desmosomes in the follicular epithelium during anisometric growth of certain insect eggs. Most insect oocytes, and the follicles which surround them, grow anisometrically as they assume shapes which approximate to those of long prolate spheroids. Surface growth is most rapid in directions which parallel the polar axis of an oocyte and slowest in circumferential directions at right angles to this axis. The longitudinal axes of microtubule bundles in follicle cells of the gall midge Heteropeza and the cockroach Periplaneta are oriented circumferentially with respect to the surfaces of developing eggs and at right angles to the polar axes of eggs. At cell boundaries, the tubules appear to be attached to spot desmosomes. It is suggested that microtubules and desmosomes form a mechanical continuum throughout a follicular epithelium which transmits tensile forces around the circumference of a growing egg. Follicular resistance to circumferential expansion may be largely responsible for defining the elongate form of insect eggs.
A METHODOLOGY FOR BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS USING NESTED NEURAL NETWORKS (2008)

The high costs and political tensions associated with Ballistic Missile Defense Systems (BMDS) has driven much of the testing and evaluation of BMDS to be performed through high fidelity Modeling and Simulation (M&S). In response, the M&S environments have become highly complex, extremely computationally intensive, and far too slow to be of use to systems engineers and high level decision makers. \nRegression models can be used to map the system characteristics to the metrics of interest, bringing about large quantities of data and allowing for real-time interaction with high-fidelity M&S environments, however the abundance of discontinuities and non-unique solutions makes the application of regression techniques hazardous. Due to these ambiguities, the transfer function from the characteristics to the metrics appears to have multiple solutions for a given set of inputs, which combined with the multiple inputs yielding the same set of outputs, causes troubles in creating a mapping. Due to the abundance of discontinuities, the existence of a neural network mapping from the system attributes to the performance metrics is not guaranteed, and if the mapping does exist, it requires a large amount of data to be for creating a regression model, making regression techniques less suitable to BMDS analysis.\nBy employing Nested Neural Networks (NNNs), intermediate data can be associated with an ambiguous output which can allow for a regression model to be made. The addition of intermediate data incorporates more knowledge of the design space into the analysis. Nested neural networks divide the design space to form a piece-wise continuous function, which allows for the user to incorporate system knowledge into the surrogate modeling process while reducing the size of a data set required to form the regression model.\nThis thesis defines nested neural networks along with methods and techniques for using NNNs to relieve the effects of discontinuities and non-unique solutions. To show the benefit of the approach, these techniques are applies them to a BMDS simulation. Case studies are performed to optimize the system configurations and assess robustness which could not be done without the regression models.

The synthesis and fate of glycodelin in human ovary during folliculogenesis (2002)

The ontogeny of glycodelin in human ovarian follicles during folliculogenesis was studied. Glycodelin immunoreactivity began to be detected in the granulosa cells and thecal cells of late secondary follicles. Immunoreactivity was also found in both the luteinized granulosa cells and cumulus cells obtained from women undergoing the assisted reproduction treatment. However, only the luteinized granulosa cells, and not the cumulus cells, expressed glycodelin mRNA. Results also showed that the cumulus cells took up radiolabelled glycodelin and partially deglycosylated some of it. Glycodelin (and a partially deglycolsylated form of glycoldelin) appeared to complex with two cytoplasmic or membrane components of the cumulus cells. The data also demonstrated that ZIF-1, a glycoprotein isolated from human follicular fluid, was immunologically similar to glycodelin. In conclusion, we suggest that glycodelin is synthesized in the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles at late secondary follicle stage. It then may be released into the follicular fluid from where it is taken up and partially modified by the cumulus cells.
Attitudes Towards Succession Law in Nigeria During the Colonial Period (1970)

The interesting case of Yinusa v. Adesubokan , reported in this issue of the Journal, provides us with an authoritative answer to a question which has long perplexed students of succession law in Nigeria: can a person whose personal law is that of Islam, by electing to make a will under the Wills Act, 1837, thereby deprive his heirs of what they would be entitled to receive were Islamic law to apply to the distribution of the estate? The answer given is that he cannot. This question, which, as is indicated in the judgment, has not been the subject of previous judicial decisions, may not be one which in recent years has aroused any very great passions. Nevertheless, it is one which some thirty years ago was argued among members of the Colonial Service—administrative officers and legal officers—with a surprising fervour and intensity.

An Improved Gain Vector to Enhance Convergence Characteristics of Recursive Least Squares Algorithm (2013)

The Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm is renowned for its rapid convergence but in some scenarios it fails to show swiftness required by several applications. Such failure may result due to different limiting conditions. Gain vector plays an essential role in the performance of RLS algorithm. This paper proposes a modification in Gain vector that results in RLS algorithm performing much better in perspective of convergence, without adding significant complexity. Simulation results are presented which prove the authenticity of the finding, and comparison with conventional RLS algorithm is presented.

Determination of spatial distributions of thickness and optical constants of thin films by a new optical technique (1981)

A new optical technique for the determination of spatial distributions of the thickness and the optical constants of thin films is proposed. This technique is simple and nondestructive involving mainly an ellipsometer and a coherent light source, and no contact to the thin-film samples is required. A theoretical estimation indicates that this technique may provide a spatial resolution close to the diffraction-limited resolution under certain conditions. Possible applications of this technique are also discussed.
Unsupervised real-time anomaly detection for streaming data (2017)

We are seeing an enormous increase in the availability of streaming, time-series data. Largely driven by the rise of connected real-time data sources, this data presents technical challenges and opportunities. One fundamental capability for streaming analytics is to model each stream in an unsupervised fashion and detect unusual, anomalous behaviors in real-time. Early anomaly detection is valuable, yet it can be difficult to execute reliably in practice. Application constraints require systems to process data in real-time, not batches. Streaming data inherently exhibits concept drift, favoring algorithms that learn continuously. Furthermore, the massive number of independent streams in practice requires that anomaly detectors be fully automated. In this paper we propose a novel anomaly detection algorithm that meets these constraints. The technique is based on an online sequence memory algorithm called Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM). We also present results using the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB), a benchmark containing real-world data streams with labeled anomalies. The benchmark, the first of its kind, provides a controlled open-source environment for testing anomaly detection algorithms on streaming data. We present results and analysis for a wide range of algorithms on this benchmark, and discuss future challenges for the emerging field of streaming analytics.
Application of Humic Acid Bonded‐Silica as a Hydrophilic‐interaction Chromatographic Stationary Phase in Separation of Polar Compounds (2007)

In this paper, humic acid bonded silica (HAAS) stationary phase was prepared through the spacer of aminoalkyl silanes. The high performance liquid chromatographic behavior of several polar compounds, including four alkaloids and clenbuterol, was studied on HAAS. The effect of mobile phase variables such as organic solvent content, buffer pH, and ionic strength on their chromatographic behavior was investigated. The retention mechanism of tested compounds on the stationary phase was elucidated. The results indicate that the HAAS stationary phase behaved as hydrophilic interaction chromatographic packing, using high content organic solvent as mobile phase, and the stationary phase showed good separation selectivity for four alkaloids and clenbuterol.
