Scale Estimation and Correction of the Monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) Based on Fusion of 1D Laser Range Finder and Vision Data (2018)

This article presents a new sensor fusion method for visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) through integration of a monocular camera and a 1D-laser range finder. Such as a fusion method provides the scale estimation and drift correction and it is not limited by volume, e.g., the stereo camera is constrained by the baseline and overcomes the limited depth range problem associated with SLAM for RGBD cameras. We first present the analytical feasibility for estimating the absolute scale through the fusion of 1D distance information and image information. Next, the analytical derivation of the laser-vision fusion is described in detail based on the local dense reconstruction of the image sequences. We also correct the scale drift of the monocular SLAM using the laser distance information which is independent of the drift error. Finally, application of this approach to both indoor and outdoor scenes is verified by the Technical University of Munich dataset of RGBD and self-collected data. We compare the effects of the scale estimation and drift correction of the proposed method with the SLAM for a monocular camera and a RGBD camera.
THE ANALYSIS OF EFFECTS OF VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND EARNINGS MANAGEMENT (2015)

This study is aimed at examining the relationshipbetween corporate governance mechanisms andearnings management with voluntary disclosure(voluntary disclosure) as a moderating variable.Corporate governance is proxied and measured byManagerial Ownership (MGR) Institutional Ownership(INST), board size (BSIZE), and the independentCommissioner (KI). Voluntary Disclosure of EarningsManagement proxied in this study uses the value ofdiscretionary accruals, and Voluntary Disclosure isproxied by the disclosure index. The population of thisstudy is all listed manufacturing companies in IndonesiaStock Exchange from 2006 to 2011.The results of this study are first, there is an empiricalevidence to suggest that there are negative effects ofdiscretionary accruals managerial ownership,institutional ownership and a positive influence on thesize of the board of directors. Overall, these results areconsistent with research conducted by Pranata (2003)and Rajgopal (1998) that managerial ownership andinstitutional ownership become a constraint on earningsmanagement practice. Second, testing the relationshipbetween voluntary disclosure mechanism betweencorporate governance and discretionary accruals indicatethat the earnings management practices will be carriedout if the company is getting a lot of information. Theseresults are consistent with the research conducted byAryati (2003). Third, the composition of theindependent commissioner was not statisticallysignificant to the earnings management measures, andvoluntary testing of these revelations on the relationshipbetween the practice of earnings management andcorporate governance mechanisms remains to show thatthe composition of an independent commissioner is notsignificant. This gives evidence that the ineffectivenessof the company's independent commissioner. KEYWORDS: Earnings management, VoluntaryDisclosure, Corporate Governance

Implementation and applications of Scott's logic for computable functions (1972)

The basis for this paper is a logic designed by Dana Scott [1] in 1969 for formalizing arguments about computable functions of higher type. This logic uses typed combinators, and we give a more or less direct translation into typed λ-calculus, which is an easier formalism to use, though not so easy for the metatheory because of the presence of bound variables. We then describe, by example only, a proof-checker program which has been implemented for this logic; the program is fully described in [2]. We relate the induction rule which is central to the logic to two more familiar rules - Recursion Induction and Structural Induction - showing that the former is a theorem of the logic, and that for recursively defined structures the latter is a derived rule of the logic. Finally we show how the syntax and semantics of a simple programming language may be described completely in the logic, and we give an example of a theorem which relates syntactic and semantic properties of programs and which can be stated and proved within the logic.
Comparison of the prognostic value of Scarff-Bloom-Richardson and Nottingham histological grades in a series of 825 cases of breast cancer: major importance of the mitotic count as a component of both grading systems. (1998)

The most commonly used system in Europe for breast carcinoma was developed by Scarff, Bloom and Richardson (SBR). It was recently modified by Elston and Ellis and significant improvement in reproducibility has been shown by using precise grading guidelines. This study investigated whether the use of this new grade (defined as the Nottingham grade, NG) would improve the prognostic stratification of patients. The respective prognostic value of the two grading schemes was compared in a retrospective series of 825 patients uniformly treated for a small invasive breast carcinoma and followed for a median of 6 years. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that both histological grades were strongly correlated to overall and metastasis free survival. We have separately analysed the prognostic value of each of the three components used to assess the two grading systems and found that the mitotic index was the only significant prognostic factor for 5 year survival. Univariate analysis showed the count to be more discriminant in the NG scheme (p = 0.0006) than in the SBR scheme (p = 0.04). However, in univariate and multivariate analysis, the prognostic value of the global NG was not significantly better than SBR grade. This may be related, in part, to an uneven distribution of cases reflected by a much lower number of cases with a high mitotic index in the NG system (2%) than in the SBR system (10%). Our study emphasizes the importance of the mitotic count in assessing the prognosis of breast cancers and indicates that the factors which condition this count (tissue processing, microscopic observation, threshold) must be well standardized and controlled.

Classification trees for partition testing (1993)

Abstract The most important prerequisite for a thorough software test is the determination of relevant test cases. The classification‐tree method suggested in this paper supports the systematic determination and description of test cases. It is based on the idea of partition testing. By means of the classification‐tree method, the input domain of a test object is regarded under various aspects assessed as relevant by the tester. For each aspect, disjoint and complete classifications are formed. Classes resulting from these classifications may be further classified—even recursively. Test cases are formed by combining classes of different classifications. The stepwise partition of the input domain by means of classifications is represented graphically in the form of a tree. This tree is subsequently used to form a combination table in which the test cases are marked. Extensions of the graphical notation and tool support allow the use of the method even for extensive test problems.

Vetenskaplighet och anställningsbarhet – Om hur den akademiska skrivundervisningens paradox kan hanteras (2013)

Den högre utbildningen, och då inte minst undervisningen i akademiskt skrivande, står inför en stor utmaning, nämligen att försöka lösa två till synes motstridiga uppgifter: att se till att studenterna klarar högskolans utbildningsmål, som t.ex. att kunna skriva ett självständigt arbete/examensarbete, och att förbereda dem för det moderna arbetslivets mångskiftande krav på den skrivna kommunikationens område. I artikeln argumenterar jag för att det går att förena dessa båda uppgifter, och jag ger också ett exempel på och diskuterar hur det skulle kunna gå till. Centralt är bland annat att varje ämnesdisciplin utformar sin egen variant av skrivundervisning, att skrivkompetens ses som en förhållandevis komplex uppsättning av kunskaper och färdigheter samt att skrivundervisningen bedrivs på ett explicit och genomskinligt sätt så att studenterna ges möjlighet att tillägna sig ett metaperspektiv på skrivande. Abstract:Today, our students must cope with two seemingly contradictory tasks: they have to write an independent academic thesis and they have to prepare for the diverse writing of modern working life. In the article, I argue that it is possible for higher education to unite the two tasks. The solution is to add a meta-perspective to academic writing instruction. This perspective is a tool that the students should appropriate when learning to write some of the common genres at the university. Later on, they can use this tool when learning to write various new workplace genres.
The specification, testing and application of flameproof and increased safety electrical enclosures for use in hazardous atmospheres (1988)

Any plant involving the processing of flammable mixtures, liquids and gases has to have an area classification undertaken in order that the risk zones can be properly assigned. Once this has been carried out, the project then passes to the design team which embraces all disciplines. The author explains the significant of the specification, testing and application of flameproof electrical safety enclosures for use in hazardous atmospheres.
Phase-randomized laser illumination for microscopy (1977)

A simple apparatus is described that phase randomizes the output of a continuous argon ion laser, so that it may be used as a source of high intensity, monochromatic light for microscopy. The phase-randomizing device can be used with any laser, polarized or unpolarized, and of any desired power output and wavelength, including dye lasers for spectral studies. The randomizing system can be adapted to any light microscope and any optical system including bright-field, phase-contrast, Nomarski differential-interference, dark-field, and split-beam interference systems such as the Jamin-Lebedeff System. It can be used for a variety of photometric and photographic studies. The 514-nm wavelength appears to be relatively harmless to a variety of cells.
Polysaccharides from the fruit bodies of the basidiomycete Laetiporus sulphureus (Bull.: Fr.) Murr (2003)

The two main polysaccharides from the basidiomycetous fungus Laetiporus sulphureus were isolated, purified and characterized. The structural assignments were carried out using (13)C, (1)H, and (1)H,(13) HSQC nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, methylation analysis, and Smith degradation. One was a linear beta-glucan having a (1-->3)-linked main chain, namely laminaran. The other was a fucomannogalactan, which consisted of a main chain of (1-->6)-linked alpha-D-galactopyranosyl residues, a part of them being substituted at O-2 by 3-O-D-mannopyranosyl-L-fucopyranosyl, alpha-D-mannopyranosyl and in a minor proportion, alpha-L-fucopyranosyl groups. This heteropolysaccharide is related to those of other Basidiomycetes heterogalactans, although it differs distinctly in its side-chain structures. Whereas part of the single-unit L-fucopyranosyl and/or 3-O-alpha-mannopyranosyl-L-fucopyranosyl residues are present as side chains of the other heterogalactans, additional alpha-D-mannopyranosyl units are present in our fucomannogalactan of L. sulphureus.
Joint 3D inversion of marine CSEM and MT data (2007)

Marine controlled source electromagnetics (MCSEM) and marine magnetotellurics (MMT) are both used for subsea exploration and hydrocarbon resource evaluation. Since MSCEM and MMT provide complementary information about the subsea electrical resistivity structure, it is useful to derive earth resistivity models that simultaneously fit both measurement sets. We apply the method of nonlinear conjugate gradient minimization to solve the three dimensional joint inverse problem for MCSEM and MMT data. An example with synthetic data demonstrates that resistivity models derived from joint inversion better resolve subsea resistivity variations.
Participation of Cyclophosphamide-Sensitive T Cells in Graft-vs-Host Reactions (1976)

Abstract Cyclophosphamide (CY)3 is toxic for a population of mouse T cells which is active in graft vs host (GVH) responses. This observation contrasts with previous reports which indicate that treatment of mice with CY regimens, similar to those used in this study, enhances the reactivity of T cells which mediate delayed type hypersensitivity to sheep red blood cells. The GVH-inducing capacity of T cells is not altered by removal of B cells by nylon wool columns. We suggest that CY-sensitive T cells may be “regulatory cells,” and that the effect they have depends on, among other things, the nature of the stimulating antigen to which the cells are responding and/or the assay used for study.
Clinical experience with intravenous infusion of emulsified fat. (1955)

Abstract The results of 1,466 infusions of fat emulsion into 426 patients are presented and discussed. Emulsions containing 10 to 15 per cent of coconut, olive, peanut, and cottonseed oils, and synthetic triolein have been used. Data pertaining to such reactions as pyrogenicity, blood pressure, pulse, and chills are presented. The collected data are analyzed in regard to the overall effect of type of oil, concentration of oil, concentration of emulsifiers, presence of synthetic emulsifiers, quantitative and qualitative serum protein abnormalities of patients, and the effects of an antihistaminic on these reactions. Ninety-one per cent of the cottonseed oil infusions, 86 per cent of the coconut oil infusions, 82 per cent of the olive oil infusions, 85 per cent of the coconut oil-olive oil infusions, 83 per cent of the peanut oil infusions, 76 per cent of the synthetic triolein infusions were without pyrogen reaction. If one excludes temperature rises of 2.0 ° F., the percentage of successful infusions rises appreciably to 97 per cent for emulsions of cottonseed oil and 94 per cent for emulsions of synthetic triolein. A small number of other unfavorable reactions occasionally observed are discussed in detail, especially as they pertain to the intrinsic colloid character of fat emulsions. Substantial progress has been made toward the solution of the problems associated with the availability and use of emulsions of fat that can be given satisfactorily by vein.
Estimated Global Distribution and Regional Spread of HIV-1 Genetic Subtypes in the Year 2000 (2002)

The objective of this study was to estimate the global distribution and regional spread of different HIV-1 genetic subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) in the year 2000. These estimates were made based on data derived from global HIV/AIDS surveillance and molecular virology studies. HIV-1 incidence during the year 2000 was estimated in defined geographic regions, using a country-specific model developed by WHO-UNAIDS. The proportion of new infections caused by different HIV-1 subtypes in the same geographic regions was estimated by experts from the WHO-UNAIDS Network for HIV Isolation and Characterization, based on results generated by HIV molecular epidemiology studies in 1998 to 2000. The absolute numbers and relative proportions of new infections due to different genetic subtypes of HIV-1 by different geographic regions were calculated using these two sets of estimated data. The results of the study demonstrated that the epidemiology of HIV-1 subtypes and CRFs is characterized by their differential distribution and varying significance as a driving cause of the pandemic on regional and global basis. The largest proportion of HIV-1 infections in the year 2000 was due to subtype C strains (47.2%). Subtype A/+CRF02_AG was estimated to be the second leading cause of the pandemic (27%), followed by subtype B strains (12.3%). The same analysis confirmed an increasing role of HIV-1 CRFs in the pandemic. The authors conclude that combined analysis of data based on the global HIV/AIDS surveillance and molecular virology studies provides for a useful model to monitor the dynamics of the global spread of HIV-1 subtypes and CRFs on regional and country levels-the information of potential importance for diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, as well as for the development globally effective HIV vaccines.

Variability in Foot-Worn Sensor Placement for Activity Recognition (2009)

On-shoe acceleration and orientation sensors have revealed as a potentially powerful means for capturing aspects of human gait. The placement of sensors however has been done intuitively and mostly without quantitative evaluation of sensor positioning. Based on recorded signals of the five placement options sole, heel, toe-cap, instep and ankle we built SVM classifiers using orientation based features and evaluate their performance on three activity classes level walking, going upstairs and going downstairs. Finally we present an approach to a placement-invariant classification model and discuss the benefit for a bipedal sensing setup.
A modular positive feedback-based gene amplifier (2010)

The advantage of our design is that the actual feedback mechanism depends only on a single gene and does not require any other modulation. Furthermore, this circuit can amplify any transcriptional signal, not just one encoded within the circuit or tuned by an external inducer. As our design is modular, it can potentially be used as a component in the design of more complex synthetic gene circuits.
Photography as Expanding Form: Virtual and actual expansion in the work of Saron Hughes and Martina Corry (2015)

This article considers the notion of expanding photography in relation to the work of Saron Hughes and Martina Corry. Both artists produce work that challenges conventional readings of the photograph. Hughes’ A1 Still Life causes pictorial confusion — within photographic representation— and suggests the possibility of virtual expansion. Corry’s Colour Works series also generates pictorial ambiguity, yet this arises from the actual expansion of the photograph. Shaped into three-dimensional forms, Colour Works posits the photograph as an object. These distinct examples of expanding photography both employ folding as a method. Their contrasting approaches converge in their exploration of the fold’s ability to transform a flat paper surface into a three-dimensional form. This article explores the operations of the fold through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Hughes’ and Corry’s expanding photography correlates with accounts of internally and externally generated media expansion (derived from Rosalind Krauss and Peter Osborne). The virtual and actual expansion of photography here will be read in conjunction with art historical and theoretical notions of medium.<br/><br/>
The Hybrid III 10-Year-Old Dummy (2001)

This paper describes the design and development of the Hybrid III 10-year-old crash test dummy. The size of the dummy was chosen to fill the gap between the Hybrid III 6-year-old and the Hybrid III small adult female dummy which is also about the size of a 13-year-old teenager. Characteristic dimensions and segment weights of the dummy are based on the anthropometry of the average 10-year-old. Biofidelity response guidelines for forehead, sternum and knee impacts and for fore/aft neck bending are scaled from the midsize adult male biofidelity guidelines taking into account the effects of differences in size, mass and material properties due to the age difference. The dummy is similar in construction to the other Hybrid III dummies except it has an adjustable lumbar spine which allows the dummy to slouch and its neck structure is aligned with its thoracic spine. Data are given showing the responses of the prototype dummy relative to its biofidelity guidelines. The prototype dummy was evaluated in out-of-position air bag tests and three-point belt tests to evaluate its durability and ease of use. The prototype dummy has demonstrated acceptable biofidelity, repeatability and durability and the design has been approved by the SAE Hybrid III Dummy Family Task Group for production.
Predicting online user behaviour using deep learning algorithms (2015)

We propose a robust classifier to predict buying intentions based on user behaviour within a large e-commerce website. In this work we compare traditional machine learning techniques with the most advanced deep learning approaches. We show that both Deep Belief Networks and Stacked Denoising auto-Encoders achieved a substantial improvement by extracting features from high dimensional data during the pre-train phase. They prove also to be more convenient to deal with severe class imbalance.
Effect of local insulin injection on wound vascularization in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (2015)

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of local insulin injection on granulation tissue formation in the wounds of patients with diabetic foot ulcer. Thirty-two patients with diabetic foot ulcer were randomly divided into an insulin (n=18) and a control (n=14) group. In the diabetic foot ulcer wound, the insulin group were administered insulin and the control group were administered an equal volume of saline. Prior to injection and at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 h after injection, the fingertip blood glucose levels were determined. The growth of granulation tissue was assessed continuously for 12 days. Wound tissue was harvested at 0, 5, 7 and 12 days for the detection of CD34 expression by immunohistochemistry. The microvessel density (MVD) was calculated. No significant difference in the fasting blood glucose level was found between the two groups at any time-point (P>0.05). Growth of granulation tissue in the insulin group was more marked from 7 days after local insulin injection (24.87±0.24) and was significantly different from that in the control group (18.66±0.45) (P<0.01). New vessels were observed in the insulin group 3 days after insulin injection; however, there was no significant difference in MVD compared with the control group (P>0.05). The MVD in the insulin group increased markedly from 5 days after treatment, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.01). In conclusion, local injection of insulin into the base of a diabetic foot ulcer has a significant effect on systemic blood glucose and may promote wound healing by improving the growth of granulation tissue.
