Enhancing Incentive Programs with Proximal Goals and Immediate Feedback (2007)

Abstract Under baseline conditions warehouse stockers (n= 23) could earn incentives if their team performed above the team quota of 18 cases stocked per hour. They were also subject to disciplinary action if they failed to regularly meet individual stocking quotas. In spite of these contingencies the stockers failed to receive bonus payments most of the months preceding the intervention. The intervention package included a task analysis in the form of engineered labor standards. Empirically derived time standards were combined to provide engineered standards for all stocking tasks. A specific time duration goal for each task was presented prior to execution of each task. Percent of standard time used to complete each task was then presented immediately upon completion of each task via a handheld Electronic Performance Monitoring (EPM) device. Thus, task goals and performance feedback immediately preceded and followed performance of each stocking task. Immediately upon onset of the intervention, employee performance increased and eventually averaged 4.46 cases stocked per hour per person, an increase of 24% over the baseline phase. Performance was maintained for the 10-week duration of the study. Team members received the maximum bonus of 300 per month for 9 consecutive months under the intervention system. Performance levels in a comparison team at another warehouse were unchanged during the entire study. Results were discussed in terms of expanding the role of Organizational Behavior Management professionals and operational and ethical issues associated with EPM technologies.
Two Zn<sup>II</sup> Metal‐Organic Frameworks with Coordinatively Unsaturated Metal Sites: Structures, Adsorption, and Catalysis (2012)

Assembly of Zn(NO(3))(2) with the tripodal ligand H(3)TCPB (1,3,5-tri(4-carboxyphenoxy)benzene) affords two porous isoreticular metal-organic frameworks, [Zn(3)(TCPB)(2)⋅2DEF]⋅3DEF (1) and [Zn(3)(TCPB)(2)⋅2H(2)O]⋅2H(2)O⋅4DMF (2). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c and possesses a 2D network containing 1D microporous opening channels with an effective size of 3.0×2.9 Å(2), whereas 2 crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3c1 and also possesses a 2D network containing 1D channels, with an effective aperture of 4.0×4.0 Å(2). TOPOS analysis reveals that both 1 and 2 have a (3,6)-connected network topology with the Schläfli symbol of (4(3)⋅6(12)) (4(3))(2). According to the variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction patterns, the solid phase of 1 can be converted into that of 2 during a temperature-induced dynamic structural transformation, thus indicating that the framework of 2 represents the most thermally stable polymorph. Desolvated 2 exhibits highly selective adsorption behaviors toward H(2)/N(2), CO(2)/N(2), and CO(2)/CH(4); furthermore, it displays size-selective catalytic activity towards carbonyl cyanosilylation and Henry (nitroaldol) reactions.
Differential Expression of the Murine Mannose-Binding Lectins A and C in Lymphoid and Nonlymphoid Organs and Tissues (2003)

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a member of the collectin family, binds to carbohydrate structures on the surfaces of micro-organisms and may serve as a recognition molecule of the lectin pathway of complement activation. In rodents two forms, MBL-A and MBL-C, were described and shown to be products of two related, but uncoupled, genes. The liver is the main source of MBL biosynthesis. For rat MBL-A, expression has also been described in the kidney. Here we report that the two forms of murine MBL are differentially expressed in a number of nonhepatic tissues. Real-time RT-PCR revealed that the liver is the major site of expression for both MBL genes. Lower copy numbers were found in kidney, brain, spleen, and muscle. In testis, only the MBL-A gene is expressed, whereas MBL-C is exclusively expressed in small intestine. Using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, we demonstrate that both MBLs are synthesized by hepatocytes and show MBL expression in cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. In the kidney MBL-A, but not MBL-C, was found to be synthesized. Vice versa, only MBL-C biosynthesis was detected in endothelial cells of the small intestine. The latter finding may support the view that MBL-C, as part of the innate immune system, may be a counterpart of secretory IgA of the acquired immune system in preventing, for example, microbial invasion and colonization. Our findings demonstrate that MBL-A and MBL-C are differentially expressed, implying distinct biological roles for both recognition molecules of the murine lectin pathway of complement.
Surface-plasmon resonance of a planar lollipop near-field transducer (2009)

Surface-plasmon resonance of a lollipop near-field transducer integrated in a planar solid immersion mirror for heat-assisted magnetic recording has been studied by pump-probe photothermal measurement and recording on a phase-change medium. Lollipops of 190 nm in disk diameter and 20-nm-thick were found to exhibit two resonant modes in 710–950 nm. Recording on a phase-change medium showed that the wavelength at the short resonant mode is not sensitive to the presence of a medium, while the resonance at the long wavelength exhibits significant redshift. On resonance, the plasmon efficiency enables the pronounced near-field optical recording.
Deep Q-learning을 활용한 열쾌적 성능기반 냉방 최적 제어 (2019)

The objective of this study is to develop an algorithm that integrates the PMV prediction model and deep Q-learning for minimized energy consumption while maintaining thermal comfort in the space. In this study, the proposed performance-based thermal comfort control (PTCC) based on a deep Q-learning algorithm for cooling in a space (or room) developed using a co-simulation was proposed. By comparing the thermal comfort (PMV) and energy consumption resulting from using fixed set-point (rule-based) control and PTCC for cooling, the efficiency of the proposed performance-based thermal comfort control was evaluated. As a results, it was found that PTCC yielded the optimal control action value that minimized the energy consumption while satisfying the thermal comfort conditions.
PTCC reduced the total VRF energy consumption by 32.2% and 12.4% compared with that required by 22°C and 24°C, i.e., the fixed set-point control, respectively.

Innovative through-silicon-via formation approach for wafer-level packaging applications (2012)

Through-silicon via (TSV) is an emerging technology for three-dimensional integrated circuit, system-in-packaging and wafer-level packaging applications. Among several available TSV formation methods, Bosch deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) is widely used because it enables the fabrication of TSVs with almost any diameter, from the submicrometer level to hundreds of micrometers. However, the high cost of Bosch DRIE makes it uneconomical for industrial production. We present a novel wafer-level TSV formation approach that is effective and cost-efficient. The proposed method integrates a diode-pumped solid-state ultraviolet nanosecond pulsed laser and rapid wet chemical etching. The former is effective in drilling through 400 µm thick silicon wafers and the latter is used for removing the unwanted heat-affected zone, recast layer and debris left after drilling. Experimental results demonstrate that the combined approach effectively eliminates the unwanted material formed by nanosecond laser pulses. Furthermore, this approach has a significant cost advantage over Bosch DRIE. In summary, the proposed approach affords superior TSV quality, higher TSV throughput and lower cost of process ownership than Bosch DRIE. These advantages could provide the necessary impetus for rapid commercialization of the several high-density fabrication methodologies that depend on TSVs.
Twin-beam generation in a triply resonant dual-cavity optical parametric oscillator (1998)

We demonstrate a low-threshold twin-beam generator using a cw triply resonant optical parametric oscillator consisting of two coupled cavities: one that resonates the signal and idler waves and the other the pump field. An intensity correlation of 5.5 dB was observed at 3 MHz for a type-II phase-matched KTP optical parametric oscillator.
Fc Gamma Receptors and Their Role in Antigen Uptake, Presentation, and T Cell Activation (2020)

The cellular uptake, intracellular processing, and presentation of foreign antigen are crucial processes for eliciting an effective adaptive host response to the majority of pathogens. The effective recognition of antigen by T cells requires that it is first processed and then presented on MHC molecules that are expressed on other cells. A critical step leading to the presentation of antigen is delivering the foreign cargo to an intracellular compartment where the antigen can be processed and loaded onto MHC molecules. Fc-gamma receptors (FcγRs) recognize IgG-coated targets, such as opsonized pathogens or immune complexes (ICs). Cross-linking leads to internalization of the cargo with associated activation of down-stream signaling cascades. FcγRs vary in their affinity for IgG and intracellular trafficking, and therefore have an opportunity to regulate antigen presentation by controlling the shuttling and processing of their cargos. In this way, they critically influence physiological and pathophysiological adaptive immune cell functions. In this review, we will cover the contribution of FcγRs to antigen-presentation with a focus on the intracellular trafficking of IgG-ICs and the pathways that support this function. We will also discuss genetic evidence linking FcγR biology to immune cell activation and autoimmune processes as exemplified by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Lung Cancer Prediction Using Neural Network Ensemble with Histogram of Oriented Gradient Genomic Features (2015)

This paper reports an experimental comparison of artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) ensembles and their "nonensemble" variants for lung cancer prediction. These machine learning classifiers were trained to predict lung cancer using samples of patient nucleotides with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene, and tumor suppressor p53 genomes collected as biomarkers from the IGDB.NSCLC corpus. The Voss DNA encoding was used to map the nucleotide sequences of mutated and normal genomes to obtain the equivalent numerical genomic sequences for training the selected classifiers. The histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and local binary pattern (LBP) state-of-the-art feature extraction schemes were applied to extract representative genomic features from the encoded sequences of nucleotides. The ANN ensemble and HOG best fit the training dataset of this study with an accuracy of 95.90% and mean square error of 0.0159. The result of the ANN ensemble and HOG genomic features is promising for automated screening and early detection of lung cancer. This will hopefully assist pathologists in administering targeted molecular therapy and offering counsel to early stage lung cancer patients and persons in at risk populations.
Pre-attentive detection of depth saliency using stereo vision (2010)

A quick estimation of depth is required by artificial vision systems for their self survival and navigation through the environment. Following the selection strategy of biological vision, known as visual attention, can help in accelerating extraction of depth for important and relevant portions of given scenes. Recent studies on depth perception in biological vision indicate that disparity is computed using object detection in the brain. The proposed method uses concepts from these studies and determines the shift that objects go through in the stereo frames using data regarding their borders. This enables efficient creation of depth saliency map for artificial visual attention. Results of the proposed model have shown success in selecting those locations from stereo scenes that are salient for human perception in terms of depth.

建構登山健行者休閒利益與休閒滿意之關係：休閒內在動機、休閒體驗所扮演的角色 (2008)

This study constructed a causal model to explore the relationship between benefiting from leisure and satisfaction by considering the role of intrinsic motivation and leisure experience of hikers. Participants were hikers over the age of 18 from Da-keng trails, Taichung. Data were collected via the on-site survey by next-to-pass sampling technique. Of the 600 questionnaires distributed on-site, 483 effective questionnaires were returned. The data collected were analyzed using structure equation modeling. The research results revealed that the effect of leisure benefit on leisure satisfaction was mediated by intrinsic motivation and leisure experience. Based on the results, it was interred that the greater the leisure benefit was, the greater the expression of intrinsic motivation and leisure satisfaction. Leisure experience also contributed positively to leisure satisfaction. One of the practical implications was that the government would be justified in making more efforts to promote leisure activities. Finally, a leisure behavior model of hikers was constructed and suggestions were made for future studies.
Carga inicial en fracturas de metatarsianos (2018)

espanolLas fracturas metatarsales se han tratado ortopedicamente mediante inmovilizacion con yeso durante 4-6 semanas, con descarga inicial o mantenida en funcion de las lesiones. Cuando existe gran desplazamiento interfragmentario, se puede indicar la osteosintesis, aunque la cirugia no este exenta de riesgos. El objetivo es valorar el resultado del tratamiento de las fracturas de metatarsianos en tratamiento conservador y carga progresiva. Material y metodo: Analizamos 31 pacientes con fractura metatarsiana sin criterios de osteosintesis inicial con un seguimiento de tres anos. Se trataron las fracturas con yeso circular con carga completa precoz , cambiando a zapato de suela rigida a las tres o cuatro semanas. Se analizaron las complicaciones, el dolor, el grado de consolidacion radiologica, la necesidad de tratamiento quirurgico y la reincorporacion a sus actividades habituales. Resultados: No se hallaron complicaciones asociadas, el dolor disminuyo de 7 a 2 segun la escala visual analogica, el grado de consolidacion se evidencio a partir de las 13 semanas y la reincorporacion a su actividad habitual se daba a partir de los 3 meses. Conclusiones: El tratamiento conservador con carga precoz resulta una buena alternativa al tratamiento ortopedico, con inmovilizacion enyesada y descarga. EnglishMetatarsal fractures have usually been treated in a conservative way. We treat them with a cast for 4 to 6 weeks, avoiding weight bearing with initial or sustained weight bearing depending on the lesions. Surgery may be indicated when there is a large displacement, although the surgery is not without risks.The aim is explore the results of the treatment of the metatarsal fractures with conservative treatment and progressive weighbearing. Materials and method: we analyzed 31 patients with metatarsal fractures without osteosynthesis criteria and given conservative treatment during past 3 years. They were treated with a cast and complete weigh bearing, adding a rigid-sole-shoe after 3 or 4 weeks.We analyzed complications, pain and radiological consolidation, needs of operative treatment and reincorporation to daily activities . Results: no complications were observed, pain decreased from 7 to 2 (in visual analogic scale), radiological consolidation was found after 13 weeks and reincorporation to daily activities at 3 months. Conclusion: conservative treatment with early weigh bearing is a good alternative to conservative treatment with cast immobilization and avoiding weigh bearing.
Animal models of autoimmune liver disease (2002)

Autoimmune liver diseases in humans are characterized by chronic active hepatitis with serum autoantibodies, hypergammaglobulinemia and liver pathology showing necroinflammatory disease and fibrosis. There are an increasing number of autoantigens believed to be associated with various autoimmune liver diseases. This review will briefly outline human autoimmune hepatitis and the immunology of the liver. Various murine models of liver inflammation will be discussed, including transgenic and non-transgenic models, with emphasis on how these models aid in our knowledge of the mechanisms of disease development and chronicity. There are limitations with all of the models, including a preponderance of T-cell-focused responses. Murine models do not easily develop fibrosis, a hallmark of autoimmune hepatitis in humans. Different experimental models may not reach the same conclusions with differences between immune responses. However, this multiplicity of responses does not necessarily imply that these models are inappropriate for the study of liver immunology and autoimmune liver diseases, as different autoantigens may induce different liver responses. Knowledge of how the liver differs from other immune organs is essential to further our understanding of liver-specific autoimmunity. The plethora of antigens implicated in autoimmune hepatitis in humans predicts that multiple mechanisms may play a role in precipitating disease in the susceptible individual.
Recent advances in research on enzymes for poultry diets (2011)

Exogenous enzymes have been used extensively in the diets of poultry to improve productive performance. Further research, however, is needed to evaluate the efficacy of enzyme use and for the expansion of the use of enzymes to accommodate the wide array of dietary constituents used in poultry feeding programs. The use of effective phytase preparations to improve bird performance and to reduce environmental P pollution has shown less than optimum results, partly due to the potential negative effects of nontargeted dietary fiber components and to confounding influence of inadequate knowledge of accurate P requirements and the tendency for the use of excessive safety margins in diet formulation. Targeting specific nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) of wheat, barley, or rye with enzyme preparations has proven effective for diets based on these cereals but not for corn- and soybean meal-based diets, primarily due to the differences in constituent NSP. The increased use of whole flaxseed in poultry diets represents an additional research area for effective enzyme development to alleviate potential negative effects of constituent NSP components. Such challenges of the enzyme development process and their outcomes are presented in this publication.

Development of an injectable, in situ crosslinkable, degradable polymeric carrier for osteogenic cell populations (2002)

An injectable, in situ crosslinkable, degradable polymeric carrier for osteogenic cell populations was developed. Specifically, a system for encapsulating marrow stromal osteoblasts in gelatin microspheres has been implemented with the goal of incorporation into a crosslinking composite based on poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF).\nInitially, the microparticle formation procedure was evaluated for effects on the marrow stromal cells. It was determined that the encapsulation procedure had only minor effects on the viability, proliferation, and phenotypic expression through 28 days.\nThe surfaces of the microparticles were treated to provide mechanical integrity at body temperature. The gelatin microparticles were exposed to two levels of a crosslinker in order to assess the effect of crosslinker concentration on cell viability, proliferation, and phenotypic expression. The results indicated that exposure to a relatively high concentration of the crosslinker (5 mM) for a relatively short amount of time (5 min) produced microparticles which maintained their mechanical integrity in 37&deg;C media for about one hour before dispersing. It yielded only minor reductions in the measured properties over 28 days. Physical properties of the crosslinked microspheres were measured. Based on these observations, it was concluded that the encapsulation procedure we had developed was a candidate for use with the crosslinking PPF composite in the next study.\nCells encapsulated in crosslinked microparticles were placed on fully crosslinked PPF composites and on composites in various stages of crosslinking. The results showed that encapsulated cells retained their viability and proliferation to a much greater extent than nonencapsulated cells when placed on crosslinking substrates.\nA final study was performed using one of the crosslinking composite addition times, and varying the formulation of the composites by adjusting the polymer to monomer ratio. The results of this 28 day experiment indicated that encapsulation of cells allowed them to remain viable and express the osteoblastic phenotype when placed on crosslinking PPF based composites. Nonencapsulated cells, however, did not retain their viability on those same crosslinking substrates.\nThe outcome of this work is that the resulting polymeric cell delivery system, which is injectable and in situ crosslinkable, holds promise for bone regeneration and orthopaedic tissue engineering.
