Detection and classification of subsurface objects in a marine environment by the use of a lidar system (2002)

The current problem of detecting objects located within a body of water is overcome by the use of a gated lidar system. Due to variation of suspended particulate matter within a body of water, normal visible video reconnaissance has proven to be highly unreliable. By using nanosecond short pulsed, low repetition rate blue-green laser signals that are exclusively tuned for specific water conditions, lidar systems are capable of reproducing clear images from oceanic surface to significant depths. One of the major advantages of gated lidar is that back scatter from layers above and below the region to be searched is basically reduced to zero. This discrimination in layer searching greatly increase the signal to noise ratio of the system, substantially increasing the likelihood of target recognition. Lidar systems have been successfully used for numerous military applications, studying of marine life forms, and oil spill detection and classification. Lidar systems are light weight with low power consumption and can be operated by personnel with minimal instruction.

Spoken word processing in Rett syndrome: Evidence from event‐related potentials (2019)

This study examined the feasibility of using auditory event-related potentials to evaluate spoken word processing during passive listening in girls with Rett syndrome (n = 11) and typical peers (n = 33), age 4-12 years. The typical group demonstrated the expected pattern of more negative amplitudes within 200-500 ms in response to words than nonwords at left temporal sites. In participants with Rett syndrome, word-nonword differentiation was observed at the right temporal sites. More negative left hemisphere amplitudes in response to words were associated (at trend level) with better receptive language skills and more adaptive behavior. The results indicate that girls with Rett syndrome differentiate known words from novel nonwords, but may do so using potentially atypical neural processes. Brain-behavior correlations support validity of the proposed neural markers of word processing, making passive listening paradigms a promising approach for assessing speech and language processing in participants with limited spoken language skills.
Comparative immunomodulatory properties of adipose‐derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned media from BALB/c, C57BL/6, and DBA mouse strains (2012)

Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) have been shown to be capable of differentiating into multiple cell type and exert immunomodulatory effects. Since the selection of ideal stem cell is apparently crucial for the outcome of experimental stem cell therapies, therefore, in this study we compared AD-MSCs conditioned media (CM) from BALB/c, C57BL/6, and DBA mouse strains. No significant difference was found in the morphology, cell surface markers, in vitro differentiation and proliferation potentials of AD-MSCs isolated from C57BL/6, BALB/c, and DBA mice. The immunological assays showed some variation among the strains in the cytokines, nitric oxide (NO), and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) production and immunomodulatory effects on splenocytes functions. Our results indicated a suppression of splenocytes proliferation in the presence of AD-MSC CM from the three inbred mouse strains. However, BALB/c CM exerted a higher suppression of splenocytes proliferation. AD-MSCs isolated from C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice produced higher levels of TGF-β than those from DBA mice. Furthermore, IL-17 and IDO production was higher in AD-MSCs isolated from BALB/c mice. Our results indicated an increased production of TGF-β, IL-4, IL-10, NO, and IDO by splenocytes in response to CM from BALB/c AD-MSCs. In conclusion, our results showed that the immunomodulatory properties of mouse AD-MSCs is strain-dependent and this variation should be considered during selection of appropriate stem cell source for in vivo experiments and stem cell therapy strategies.
Electrical Switching in Thin Film Structures Based on Transition Metal Oxides (2015)

Electrical switching, manifesting itself in the nonlinear current-voltage characteristics with S- and N-type NDR (negative differential resistance), is inherent in a variety of materials, in particular, transition metal oxides. Although this phenomenon has been known for a long time, recent suggestions to use oxide-based switching elements as neuristor synapses and relaxation-oscillation circuit components have resumed the interest in this area. In the present review, we describe the experimental facts and theoretical models, mainly on the basis of the Mott transition in vanadium dioxide as a model object, of the switching effect with special emphasis on the emerging applied potentialities for oxide electronics.
Metabolite‐specific (IgG) and drug‐specific antibodies (IgG, IgM) in two cases of trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole‐induced immune thrombocytopenia (1987)

Two cases of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX)-induced immune thrombocytopenia are reported in which unusual drug-dependent platelet antibodies were demonstrated by immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Whereas two distinct sulfamethoxazole-dependent antibodies of the IgG and IgM class were detectable in the serum of one patient, the serum of the other patient contained a platelet antibody exclusively reactive with N-4-acetyl-sulfamethoxazole, a metabolite of sulfamethoxazole. Urine from a healthy volunteer collected after administration of therapeutic doses of TMP-SMX proved to be an appropriate source of ex vivo metabolites for antibody testing. The results of this study stress the role of metabolite-specific antibodies in drug-dependent immune thrombocytopenia and underscore the necessity of including metabolite preparations of drugs in serologic analyses.

The Rb gene suppresses the growth of normal cells. (1993)

The suppression of tumor formation, first demonstrated by somatic cell hybrid and microcell fusion experiments, suggests the existence of a class of genes that selectively suppress the growth of tumor cells but not normal cells. The reintroduction of these genes into tumor cells presumably renders the cells responsive to in vivo growth inhibitory environment. As the inheritance of a defective retinoblastoma gene (Rb-1) allele results in a predisposition to the development of various cancers, and since inactivation of both alleles are observed in tumor cells, the Rb gene has been suspected to have the ability to suppress tumor growth. Data presented here demonstrated that different types of normal cells, which have a limited life span, were also growth arrested by a transfected Rb gene. Cell lines which are resistant to the growth suppression effect of the Rb gene in vitro, retain the ability to form tumors in nude mice even in the presence of a stable and highly expressed wild type Rb protein. We conclude that while the Rb gene can suppress the growth of many tumor cell lines, its growth suppression effect is not tumor specific.
Effect of soft handoff parameters and traffic loads on soft handoff ratio in CDMA systems (2004)

In this paper, the relations of soft handoff ratio to soft handoff thresholds setting and the pilot channel power fraction under different traffic loads in CDMA systems are analyzed. Sectorized cells are considered, and the propagation environment includes correlation of shadow fading signals arriving from multiple sectors of the same base station and different base stations. Simulations are made and the results can be referenced for CDMA networks planning and optimizing.
Internet business opportunities (2002)

Does your business have an Internet strategy? If not, you should get one fast. 30 million people are using email, there are about 300000 Web sites with about 1000 new sites being added monthly. Your customers and suppliers expect you to have a telephone and fax. Increasingly they expect you to have an email address and a Web page. Companies like yours are using the Internet for a wide variety of cost effective applications including training, selling, document distribution, market research, and communications. In the USA, about 2/3rds of companies recently surveyed by Forrester Research already have or are considering the use of an Intranet. The paper discusses: what is the Internet; how it differs from an Intranet and from the networks your company may already be using; how your business can use the Internet, or an Intranet; how the Internet and an Intranet add value to your business; what it will cost to set up, maintain, and service a Web site and design a home page; what are the HTML and 3D/VRML issues; what is the business model and how to justify and recover the investment; the best time to get started and how to avoid technological obsolescence; what are the security issues; where to get help getting started and keep running; differences between the European and USA Internet environments; some examples of successful business uses; what can be expected in the future.
V-HairStudio: an interactive tool for hair design (2001)

Graphical models of natural objects have become increasingly complex and sophisticated. Although researchers have made significant progress in modeling complex objects in the last decade, representing human hair realistically continues to challenge us. It presents problems in all aspects of computer graphics technologies, such as shape modeling, manipulation, rendering, and dynamic simulation. The article introduces a hair-designing system. Based on the cluster hair model, this designing tool provides a rich set of functionality for interactive hairstyle design in two levels of abstraction. The system is more powerful, and at the same time, more convenient and efficient for hair styling and manipulation than previous modeling systems. We can divide existing hair models into two categories: explicit geometric models and volume-density models.
A knowledge‐based test plan generator for incremental unit and integration software testing (1998)

Unit and integration testing are two expected levels of testing for conventionally designed programs. This article presents a system for the automatic generation of test plans for incremental unit and integration testing. Starting from a global task of planning integration testing, the system generates a detailed test plan automatically for a given program on the basis of its decomposition as a software structure. The system is implemented as a frame-based system. It supports four standard ways of assembling units during integration, and two ways of testing according to parallelism. It also takes into account the units that require more testing than others. The system greatly improves the productivity of planning integration testing in comparison with the current practice of producing test plans manually. Experiments have shown a minimum productivity increase of 55 times. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Rolling-Circle Transposons Catalyze Genomic Innovation in a Mammalian Lineage (2014)

Rolling-circle transposons (Helitrons) are a newly discovered group of mobile DNA widespread in plant and invertebrate genomes but limited to the bat family Vespertilionidae among mammals. Little is known about the long-term impact of Helitron activity because the genomes where Helitron activity has been extensively studied are predominated by young families. Here, we report a comprehensive catalog of vetted Helitrons from the 7× Myotis lucifugus genome assembly. To estimate the timing of transposition, we scored presence/absence across related vespertilionid genome sequences with estimated divergence times. This analysis revealed that the Helibat family has been a persistent source of genomic innovation throughout the vespertilionid diversification from approximately 30-36 Ma to as recently as approximately 1.8-6 Ma. This is the first report of persistent Helitron transposition over an extended evolutionary timeframe. These findings illustrate that the pattern of Helitron activity is akin to the vertical persistence of LINE retrotransposons in primates and other mammalian lineages. Like retrotransposition in primates, rolling-circle transposition has generated lineage-specific variation and accounts for approximately 110 Mb, approximately 6% of the genome of M. lucifugus. The Helitrons carry a heterogeneous assortment of host sequence including retroposed messenger RNAs, retrotransposons, DNA transposons, as well as introns, exons and regulatory regions (promoters, 5'-untranslated regions [UTRs], and 3'-UTRs) of which some are evolving in a pattern suggestive of purifying selection. Evidence that Helitrons have contributed putative promoters, exons, splice sites, polyadenylation sites, and microRNA-binding sites to transcripts otherwise conserved across mammals is presented, and the implication of Helitron activity to innovation in these unique mammals is discussed.
Who Believes in the Fairy Tale? Attitude about Love Based on Gender and Self-Esteem (2008)

Many factors affect an individual's attitudes and actions associated with love. Past research has found both gender and self-esteem differences in love styles and attitudes about love. This study was designed to update these findings and expand upon the aspects of love being investigated and the possible factors that might affect individuals' attitudes and love styles. Participants consisted of 120 undergraduate college students and recent college graduates, with an equal number of men and women in the sample. Participants provided demographic information and were then asked to read a scenario regarding possible romantic relationships and respond to their beliefs about the couple in the scenario. Additionally, participants completed a self-esteem scale and a scale measuring their love styles. Results indicated that men subscribe more to a game-playing attitude about love and focus more on physical aspects of romance, while women identify more with the areas of love concerning intimacy, self-disclosure, and mania and focus more on emotional aspects of romance. Furthermore, participants with high self-esteem subscribed more to self-disclosing and intimate love styles than participants with low self-esteem.
Peer to Peer Lending: The Relationship Between Language Features, Trustworthiness, and Persuasion Success (2011)

Abstract This study examined the relationship between language use and persuasion success in the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending environment where unaffiliated individuals borrow money directly from each other using a textual description to justify the loan. Over 200,000 loan requests were analyzed with Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software. The use of extended narratives, concrete descriptions and quantitative words that are likely related to one's financial situation had positive associations with funding success which was considered to be an indicator of trust. Humanizing personal details or justifications for one's current financial situation were negatively associated with funding success. These results offer insights into how individuals can optimize their persuasiveness by monitoring their language use in online environments. Keywords: PersuasionPeer-to-Peer LendingOnlineLanguageLIWC Acknowledgements Many thanks to Jeff Hancock and Amy Gonzales for their helpful comments and suggestions on earlier drafts of this paper. Notes 1. As exceptional loans can never receive more than 100% of requested funding and particularly poor loans can never receive less than 0% funding, there is a floor and ceiling on the possible range of values for the dependent variable. Therefore, if the data are treated as purely linear as is the case in a standard OLS regression, the large number of results bunched at 0 and 100% funding will bias the results. Thus, for the robustness check, a Tobit regression was used instead which accounts for this censoring of possible observations of the dependent variable. Results using the alternate Tobit specification are available from the author upon request. 2. The Probit regression does not have an equivalent R 2 to that found in an OLS regression so the McFadden's Pseudo R 2 value is reported instead. This is default Pseudo R 2 value provided by Stata for a Probit regression but like most Pseudo R 2 measures cannot be directly compared to standard R 2 values. Results for alternate goodness-of-fit measures are available upon request from the authors. 3. All values reported in the text are from Table 3, which includes just the financial variables and theoretically supported language variables.

Preliminary neutron scaling of the TAMU 460 kJ plasma focus (2002)

Summary form only given. The results from preliminary scaling studies on the TAMU dense plasma focus (DPF) using the deuterium fusion reactions will be presented. A particular emphasis of this scaling study will be the comparison between the TAMU DPF and the DPF 6.5 results from the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in 1973. The capacitor bank for the TAMU machine stores 460 kJ at a charge voltage of 60 kV. It can deliver >3 MA into a plasma focus load with a rise time of /spl sim/5 /spl mu/s. Physically, this bank is divided into six modules with 44.4 /spl mu/F in 24 capacitors. The energy storage at full voltage is <80 kJ per module. While the energy storage per capacitor is low at /spl sim/3.3 U/can, the reversal rating for these capacitors is 80%. Each module is discharged through a single high-current rail switch. The six modules deliver their current to the plasma focus load through 72, RG-17/14 coaxial cables. The primary neutron yield detectors for this facility are the Los Alamos standard silver detectors that use four geiger tubes in a (30 cm /spl times/30 cm /spl times/15 cm) block of polyethylene and 0.254 mm thick silver foils. Time of flight detectors located near the experiment and outside a 60-cm thick concrete shield wall will provide prompt and energy-resolved neutron generation data.
Comparison of carbon-sulfur and carbon-amine bond in therapeutic drug: 4β-S-aromatic heterocyclic podophyllum derivatives display antitumor activity (2015)

Herein is a first effort to systematically study the significance of carbon-sulfur (C-S) and carbon-amine (C-NH) bonds on the antitumor proliferation activity of podophyllum derivatives and their precise mechanism of apoptosis. Compared with the derivative modified by a C-NH bond, the derivative modified by a C-S bond exhibited superior antitumor activity, the inhibition activity of target proteins tubulin or Topo II, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis induction. Antitumor mechanistic studies showed that the death receptor and the mitochondrial apoptotic pathways were simultaneously activated by the C-S bond modified aromatic heterocyclic podophyllum derivatives with a higher cellular uptake percentage of 60-90% and induction of a higher level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Only the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway was activated by the C-NH bond modified aromatic heterocyclic podophyllum derivatives, with a lower cellular uptake percentage of 40-50%. This study provided insight into effects of the C-S and C-NH bond modification on the improvement of the antitumor activity of Podophyllum derivatives.
Non-linear Optics (1964)

Abstract It is shown that non-linear optical phenomena will occur when high intensity light beams interact with matter. Such light beams have become available with the invention of lasers. A review of the experiments performed with lasers to exhibit non-linear effects is given. These include the generation of harmonic, sum and difference frequencies. The stimulated Raman effect is also discussed.
Squirrel cage induction motor cast rotor defect detection with magnetic field analysis (2015)

A Learning Machine: Part II (1959)

An effort is made to improve the performance of the learning machine described in Part I, and the over-all effect of various changes is considered. Comparative runs by machines without the scoring mechanism indicate that the grading of individual instructions can aid in the learning process. A related study is made in which automatic debugging of programs is taken as a special case of machine search. The ability to partition problems and to deal with parts in order of difficulty proves helpful.
Negative Sequence Analysis (2019)

Negative sequential patterns (NSPs) produced by negative sequence analysis (NSA) capture more informative and actionable knowledge than classic positive sequential patterns (PSPs) due to involving both occurring and nonoccurring items, which appear in many applications. However, the research on NSA is still at an early stage, and NSP mining involves very high computational complexity and a very large search space, there is no widely accepted problem statement on NSP mining, and different settings on constraints and negative containment have been proposed in existing work. Among existing NSP mining algorithms, there are no general and systemic evaluation criteria available to assess them comprehensively. This article conducts a comprehensive technical review of existing NSA research. We explore and formalize a generic problem statement of NSA; investigate, compare, and consolidate the definitions of constraints and negative containment; and compare the working mechanisms and efficiency of existing NSP mining algorithms. The review is concluded by discussing new research opportunities in NSA.
