Introduction (2012)

The hospital’s ambiguous relationship to everyday social space has long been a central theme of hospital ethnography. Often, hospitals are presented either as isolated “islands” defined by biomedical regulation of space (and time) or as continuations and reflections of everyday social space that are very much a part of the “mainland.” This polarization of the debate overlooks hospitals’ paradoxical capacity to be simultaneously bounded and permeable, both sites of social control and spaces where alternative and transgressive social orders emerge and are contested. We suggest that Foucault’s concept of heterotopia usefully captures the complex relationships between order and disorder, stability and instability that define the hospital as a modernist institution of knowledge, governance, and improvement. We expand Foucault’s focus on the disciplinary, heterotopic qualities of the hospital to explore the heterotopia as a space of multiple orderings. These orderings are not only biomedical. Rather, hospitals are notable for the intensity and heterogeneity of the ongoing spatial ordering processes, both biomedical and other, that produce them. We outline an approach to heterotopias that traces the contingent configuration of hospital space through relationships between the physical environment, technologies, and persons, while simultaneously considering the kinds of spatial imaginings, hopes for the future, and emotional responses that are rendered possible by those configurations. We provide three thematic frameworks through which the heterotopic and contingent qualities of hospital spaces might be explored: boundary work, generating scale, and layered space.
Real-time Pitch (frequency) Shifting Techniques (2005)

A technique for generating an interpolated signal for frequency (pitch) shifting applications is the topic of this paper, which covers the filtering algorithm used to generate the coefficients needed to interpolate samples in realtime, the speed of the algortibm in terms fo instructions cycles on the Motorola DSP56001 digitat signat processor, and a comparison of parameters affecting the signal to total harmonic distortion + noise ratio (STHDNR).
Implementation Considerations of Various Virtual Metrology Algorithms (2007)

In the semiconductor industry, run-to-run (R2R) control is an important technique to improve process capability and further enhance the production yield. As the dimension of electronic device shrinks increasingly, wafer-to-wafer (W2W) advanced process control (APC) becomes essential for critical stages. W2W APC needs to obtain the metrology value of each wafer; however, it will be highly time and cost consuming for obtaining actual metrology value of each wafer by physical measurement. Recently, an efficient and cost-effective approach denoted virtual metrology (VM) was proposed to substitute the actual metrology. To implement VM in W2W APC, both conjecture-accuracy and real-time requirements need to be considered. In this paper, various VM algorithms of back-propagation neural network (BPNN), simple recurrent neural network (SRNN) and multiple regression (MR) are evaluated to see whether they can meet the accuracy and real-time requirements of W2W APC or not. The fifth-generation TFT-LCD CVD process is used to test and verify the requirements. Test results show that both one-hidden-layered BPNN and SRNN VM algorithms can achieve acceptable conjecture accuracy and meet the real-time requirements of semiconductor and TFT-LCD W2W APC applications.
K<sub>Ca</sub>Channels as Therapeutic Targets in Episodic Ataxia Type-2 (2010)

Episodic ataxia type-2 (EA2) is an inherited movement disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Ca(v)2.1alpha1 subunit of the P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel that result in an overall reduction in the P/Q-type calcium current. A consequence of these mutations is loss of precision of pacemaking in cerebellar Purkinje cells. This diminished precision reduces the information encoded by Purkinje cells and is thought to contribute to symptoms associated with this disorder. The loss of the precision of pacemaking in EA2 is the consequence of reduced activation of calcium-dependent potassium channels (K(Ca)) by the smaller calcium current and in vitro can be pharmacologically restored by K(Ca) activators. We used a well established mouse model of EA2, the tottering (tg/tg) mouse, to examine the potential therapeutic utility of one such Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved compound, chlorzoxazone (CHZ). Compared with wild-type Purkinje cells, we found the firing rate of tg/tg Purkinje cells in acutely prepared cerebellar slices to be very irregular. Bath application of CHZ successfully restored the precision of pacemaking in a dose-dependent manner. Oral administration of CHZ to tg/tg mice improved their baseline motor performance and reduced the severity, frequency, and duration of episodes of dyskinesia without producing any adverse effects. We propose the use of CHZ, which is currently FDA approved as a muscle relaxant, as a safe and novel treatment of EA2.

An Energetic Approach for the Simulation of Diffraction within Ray Tracing Based on the Uncertainty Relation (2010)

In room acoustics as well as in noise immission prognosis, ray tracing methods are efficient and widely used. Nevertheless, as is well recognised, these energetic methods assuming incoherent superposition fail when diffraction becomes important. The aim is to solve this main deficiency, but the energetic model shall be retained. However, since random emitted particles never pass edges exactly, analytical edge diffraction approaches may not be applied. These and other general problems of combining diffractions with the numerical methods of geometrical room acoustics are discussed in the first part of the paper. To introduce diffraction but preserve the algorithmic advantage of ray tracing, the author had proposed a sound particle diffraction model based on Heisenbergs uncertainty relation (UR) introducing the concept of a 'diffraction angle probability' and an 'edge diffraction strength' (the closer the by-pass-distance the stronger the diffraction effect'). This model, already presented in 1986, demonstrated very good agreements with the expected transfer functions of the basic reference cases of a half-infinite screen and a slit in far field. It has now for the first time been embedded in a full ray tracing program enabling also finite source and receiver distances. The results have also been compared with the exact wave-theoretical results of Svenssont's secondary edge source model. For most cases of the screen and the slit the agreements are very good (less than 1 dB). Also - not self evident - the reciprocity principle seems fulfilled. Exploiting the UR seems to be a useful approach not only for light - as has been published in the field of optical ray tracing - but also for sound. However, whether the method works also with higher order diffraction and with other structures has not yet been investigated for sound. A very difficult practical problem remains the explosion of computing time which may be solved by the re-unification -algorithm provided by Quantized Pyramidal Beam Tracing.

Development of Battery-free SAW Integrated Microsensor for Real Time Simultaneous Measurement of Humidity and $CO_2$ component (2009)

A 440MHz wireless and passive surface acoustic wave (SAW) based chemical sensor was developed on a piezoelectric substrate for simultaneous measurement of gas and relative humidity (RH) using a reflective delay line pattern as the sensor element. The reflective delay line is composed of an interdigital transducer (IDT) and several shorted grating reflectors. A Teflon AF 2400 and a hydrophilic layer were used as and water vapor sensitive films. The coupling of mode (COM) modeling was conducted to determine optimal device parameters prior to fabrication. According to simulation results, the device was fabricated and then wirelessly measured using the network analyzer. The measured reflective coefficient in the time domain showed high signal/noise (S/N) ratio, small signal attenuation, and few spurious peaks. In the and humidity testing, high sensitivity ( for detection and RH for humidity sensing), good linearity and repeatability were observed in the concentration ranges of and humidity levels of RH. Temperature and humidity compensations were also investigated during the sensitivity evaluation process.
3D-printed flat lens for microwave applications (2015)

This paper presents the design of a 3D-printed flat graded-index lens based on ray optics. The lens is comprised of several concentric dielectric rings with bespoke relative permittivities for transforming spherical waves into plane waves. 3D-printing was used to fabricate this lens with graded and tailored dielectric properties in a single process. The 3D-printed flat lens is low-cost and light-weight, but provides broadband and high gain performance. Measurement results show that the realised gain of the lens is 8 to 10 dB over the frequency band ranging from 12 to 18 GHz.
Distributed Algorithm for Power Aware Connected Dominating Set for EfCcient Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (2006)

Efficient routing in ad hoc mobile environment with an economic use of battery power is an important problem and conventional routing protocols are unsuitable there due to static choice of routing paths without consideration of remaining battery power of the nodes. In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient distributed algorithm for calculating power aware connected dominating set for Ad hoc wireless networks. To enhance the lifetime of each node, which will in turn enhance the lifetime of the network, energy consumption here is balanced among different nodes of the network. Nodes are alternated in being selected to become a member of connected dominating set, which would enhance the lifetime of the network. In our approach each node select another node as its dominating neighbor depending on the status vector of its neighbor set. The status of a node is calculated based on its node degree and remaining battery power. The algorithm has 0(Δ <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> ) time complexity and O(m) message complexity, where Δ is the maximum node degree and m is the number of edges in the topology graph. The dominating sets we obtain are in general comparable in size to that obtained in [1]. We ensured mobility support in our algorithm and our simulation result shows that, under the condition of mobility better lifespan is obtained using our approach as compared to other power aware approach.
On condition based maintenance policy (2015)

Abstract In the case of a high-valuable asset, the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase requires heavy charges and more efforts than the installation (construction) phase, because it has long usage life and any accident of an asset during this period causes catastrophic damage to an industry. Recently, with the advent of emerging Information Communication Technologies (ICTs), we can get the visibility of asset status information during its usage period. It gives us new challenging issues for improving the efficiency of asset operations. One issue is to implement the Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) approach that makes a diagnosis of the asset status based on wire or wireless monitored data, predicts the assets abnormality, and executes suitable maintenance actions such as repair and replacement before serious problems happen. In this study, we have addressed several aspects of CBM approach: definition, related international standards, procedure, and techniques with the introduction of some relevant case studies that we have carried out.
Wound Dressings Update (2006)

ABSTRACT The availability of different types of wound dressings has increased in the last decade. Wound care practitioners have at their disposal an extensive range of dressings. Emerging dressing types include interactive/bioactive dressings and tissue‐engineered skin substitutes. There is no one dressing that is suitable for the management of all types of chronic wounds and few are suited for the treatment of a single wound during all stages of the healing cycle. Successful wound management depends on an understanding of the healing process combined with knowledge of the properties of the various dressings available. Without such knowledge and careful assessment of all the factors that effect healing, dressing selection is likely to be arbitrary and ineffective, wasteful both in terms of time and physical resources. This article is an overview of some of the first‐line and second‐line interactive/bioactive dressings available. A synopsis of wound assessment and wound bed preparation will aid in choosing the appropriate dressings. It will also touch on advanced technologies including tissue‐engineered skin substitutes.

1) 고구마의 경제적 활용과 이유식품의 개발을 목적을 고구마 대두분 및 기타 영양소를 사용하여 단백함량이 20%되는 이유식품을 드럼건조법에 의하여 제조하는 방법을 설정하였다. 2) 이 제품의 단백효율(PER)은 2.63 으로서 고구마 대신 옥수수전분을 사용한 제품의 PER(3.30)보다 낮았는데, 이는 드럼건조중 가용태 라이신의 파괴에 의함을 알았다. 3) 본 이유식품의 전체영양가 (사료효율, 체성분의 조성, 단백질보유율)는 우유식품이나 고구마 대신 옥수수전분을 사용한 이유식품과 비슷하였다. 【1) A process was described for the preparation of drum-dried weaning food containing about 20% protein and based on a blend of sweet potato, full-fat soy flour, minerals, vitamins and methionine. 2) The protein efficiency ratio of this product was 2.63 as compared to 3.30 for the blend containing corn starch in place of sweet potato. This is attributed to the partial destruction of available lysine in the presence of sweet potato during the drum-drying process. 3) Overall nutritive value of the weaning food was comparable to milk food and control food based on corn starch and soy flour in terms of feed efficiency, body composition and protein retention.】

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS IN BIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY (1982)

Abstract The definition, strategy and goal of the systems approach (consisting of systems analysis and synthesis) and its application in solving complex phenomena in biology and biotechnology is presented. Next, the structural, functional, descriptive, control and dynamic organization (hierarchy) of biological systems is outlined. The decomposition of a biotechnological process into structural and functional hierarchy presents the fundamental way of analysis, giving rise to a set of elements or elementary biological and physico-chemical phenomena at each level of hierarchy. The process synthesis is based on a reduction of information on each level by means of purposeful selection of important systemic phenomena and on the definition of strong (between elements at each level) and weak (between levels) interactions. Based on systems approach, the scope for biological scale-up is outlined. Systems approach appears to be the only possible methodological tool for the analysis and synthesis of complex problems of biotechnology. Its application is demonstrated on several examples taken from the author's experience and from literature. The purpose of this review is to emphasize the importance of an incorporation of more biological features starting with molecular hierarchy into models of biotechnological processes, referred to as metabolic structured models. The methodology of systems approach presented in the following has been intuitively used in some reports, and its explicit formal definition is attempted here.

Free Radical Polymerization Photoinitiated by Riboflavin/Amines. Effect of the Amine Structure (2001)

Polymerization rates of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) photoinitiated by riboflavin were investigated using as co-initiator several amines of different structure. The photoinitiation efficiency is highly dependent on the structure of the amine. The photochemical behavior of these systems was investigated under the polymerization conditions. The results are explained in terms of the dependence of the amino radicals production and the reactivity of these radicals toward monomer double bonds with the structural features of the amines.
Fully automatic 3D Threat Image Projection: Application to densely cluttered 3D Computed Tomography baggage images (2012)

In this paper, we describe a Threat Image Projection (TIP) method designed for 3D Computed Tomography (CT) screening systems. The novel methodology automatically determines a valid 3D location in the passenger 3D CT baggage image into which a fictional threat 3D image can be inserted without violating the bag content. According to the scan orientation, the passenger bag content and the material of the inserted threat appropriate CT artefacts are generated using a Radon transform in order to make the insertion realistic. Densely cluttered 3D CT baggage images are used to validate our method. Experimental results confirm that our method is able to reliably insert threat items in challenging 3D images without providing any perceptible visual cue to human screeners.
Volume and value of big healthcare data (2016)

Modern scientific inquiries require significant data-driven evidence and trans-disciplinary expertise to extract valuable information and gain actionable knowledge about natural processes. Effective evidence-based decisions require collection, processing and interpretation of vast amounts of complex data. The Moore's and Kryder's laws of exponential increase of computational power and information storage, respectively, dictate the need rapid trans-disciplinary advances, technological innovation and effective mechanisms for managing and interrogating Big Healthcare Data. In this article, we review important aspects of Big Data analytics and discuss important questions like: What are the challenges and opportunities associated with this biomedical, social, and healthcare data avalanche? Are there innovative statistical computing strategies to represent, model, analyze and interpret Big heterogeneous data? We present the foundation of a new compressive big data analytics (CBDA) framework for representation, modeling and inference of large, complex and heterogeneous datasets. Finally, we consider specific directions likely to impact the process of extracting information from Big healthcare data, translating that information to knowledge, and deriving appropriate actions.
Effects of Therapeutic Stimulation of Nucleus caudatus on Epileptic Electrical Activity of Brain in Patients with Intractable Epilepsy (1997)

The effects of electrostimulation of caput nuclei caudati (CNC) were investigated in 57 patients. Long-term implanted multicontact electrodes were used in 38 patients. In 23 cases, completely implanted neurostimulators and in the remaining 15 cases externalized electrodes were used. Investigations demonstrated that a low-frequency (4-6 Hz) stimulation of certain points of the ventral part of CNC reliably led to (1) a decrease of interparoxysmal activity in the neocortical and mesial temporal epileptic foci; (2) a decrease of focal discharges in the aforementioned areas, and (3) abrupt cessation of spreading and generalized discharge.
Synthesis, structure, and electrical properties of naphthacene, pentacene, and hexacene sulphides (1972)

Pentacene and hexacene both react with sulphur to form stable hexasulphides for which double fused thiathiophthen structures (6) and (8) or (9) are proposed. The electrical conductivity of hexacene hexasulphide is similar to that of the well-known naphthacene tetrasulphide (1) and 109 times greater than that of pentacene hexasulphide. Replacement of the sulphur in (1) by selenium gives a tetraselenide (14) of similar conductivity to (1). The new naphthaceno[5,6-cd][1,2]dithiole (10) is described.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of inositol treatment for panic disorder (1995)

The authors conclude that inositol's efficacy, the absence of significant side effects, and the fact that inositol is a natural component of the human diet make it a potentially attractive therapeutic for panic disorder.
Fabrication of SU-8 moulds on glass substrates by using a common thin negative photoresist as an adhesive layer (2014)

A method for fabricating SU-8 moulds on glass substrates is presented. A common thin negative photoresist was coated on the glass slide as an adhesive layer, and then SU-8 was patterned on the adhesive layer. The presence of the adhesive layer improved the lifetime of a SU-8 mould from a few cycles to over 50 cycles. Moreover, the fabrication of the adhesive layer is quite simple and no additional equipment is required. The effects of the adhesion behavior of the negative photoresist and SU-8 on substrates on the durability of the SU-8 mould were investigated. The work of adhesion of the common thin negative photoresist on glass was 51.2 mJ m−2, which is 22.5% higher than that of SU-8 on silicon and 32.3% higher than that of SU-8 on glass. The abilities of the method for replicating high-aspect-ratio microstructures were also tested. One SU-8 mould with 60 × 60 array micropillars with aspect ratios lower than 3 could be used to cast at least 20 polydimethylsiloxane devices.
The implementation of self calibration techniques in raman backscatter based fiber optic distributed temperature system (DTS) technology (2008)

DTS technology is well established and is a proven technology in providing real time temperature monitoring on high voltage power transmission and distribution circuits. The technology has been adopted for this purpose by many electric utilities throughout the world. DTS technology is particularly well suited to monitoring underground circuits, whenever cables are located in cable tunnels, duct banks, directly buried or submarine. DTS technology has made considerable improvements since its initial introduction to the power industry. The end users' experience of DTS has driven demand for further advancements in the core DTS technology. This paper outlines some of the key technology advancements made and also clarifies some current misconceptions about DTS technology.
