Temperature Dependence of Dielectric Constants of Cubic Ionic Compounds (1963)

The temperature and pressure dependence of the dielectric constant of a number of cubic halides and oxides with a broad range of dielectric constants have been determined. For low-$\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ compounds the dielectric constant increases with increasing temperature, whereas for high-$\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ compounds the dielectric constant decreases with increasing temperature. Hydrostatic pressure lowers the value of the dielectric constant for all compounds measured. For ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics a relation has been found between the Curie temperature and the Curie constant. Three effects contribute to the temperature dependence of a dielectric constant: the decrease in the number of polarizable particles per unit volume as the temperature increases, which is a direct result of the volume expansion ($A$), the increase of the macroscopic polarizability due to the volume expansion ($B$), and the temperature dependence of the macroscopic polarizability at constant volume ($C$). The experimental data have been used to calculate these different contributions. It is found that the volume-dependent contribution ($A+B$) is always positive and that the direct temperature contribution ($C$) can be either positive or negative. Where optical data were available in literature they were used to calculate the contributions of the optical and infrared parts of the polarizability to the temperature and volume dependence of the polarizability. The results are discussed with the use of a classical ionic model.

Rescaling State and Input Variables for the Purpose of Analyzing Process Models (1985)

Many techniques which are used for analyzing the structure of large-scale, interactive systems (including structural dominance analysis and the singular value decomposition method) require a careful scaling of input and state variables to yield useful results. A suitable scaling procedure motivated by physical arguments is presented and illustrated through several examples, including linear and nonlinear as well as lumped and distributed parameter models.
An evaluation of 2D SLAM techniques available in Robot Operating System (2013)

In this work, a study of several laser-based 2D Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques available in Robot Operating System (ROS) is conducted. All the approaches have been evaluated and compared in 2D simulations and real world experiments. In order to draw conclusions on the performance of the tested techniques, the experimental results were collected under the same conditions and a generalized performance metric based on the k-nearest neighbors concept was applied. Moreover, the CPU load of each technique is examined. This work provides insight on the weaknesses and strengths of each solution. Such analysis is fundamental to decide which solution to adopt according to the properties of the intended final application.
Representer Point Selection for Explaining Deep Neural Networks (2018)

We propose to explain the predictions of a deep neural network, by pointing to the set of what we call representer points in the training set, for a given test point prediction. Specifically, we show that we can decompose the pre-activation prediction of a neural network into a linear combination of activations of training points, with the weights corresponding to what we call representer values, which thus capture the importance of that training point on the learned parameters of the network. But it provides a deeper understanding of the network than simply training point influence: with positive representer values corresponding to excitatory training points, and negative values corresponding to inhibitory points, which as we show provides considerably more insight. Our method is also much more scalable, allowing for real-time feedback in a manner not feasible with influence functions.
Effect of Neomycin and Other Antibiotics on Serum Cholesterol Levels and on 7α-Dehydroxylation of Bile Acids by the Fecal Bacterial Flora in Man (1973)

Fresh feces from 25 patients were homogenized and incubated with labeled cholic or chenodeoxycholic acid. After 24 hours of incubation, the percent change to the 7α-dehydroxylated form was measured. In 11 patients, the oral administration of 2g of neomycin daily significantly reduced the levels of serum cholesterol (from an average of 316 mg/100 ml plasma to 237 mg/100 ml plasma) and markedly inhibited the extent of 7α-dehydroxylation of cholic acid (from 89% to 9%); in 2 patients whose serum cholesterol levels were not lowered, the degradation of cholic acid remained unchanged (control 93%, neomycin 91%). In 5 patients the administration of kanamycin reduced serum cholesterol levels (from 280 mg/100 ml plasma to 252 mg/100 ml plasma) and also inhibited 7α-dehydroxylation of cholic acid (from 92% to 21%); in 3 additional patients this drug failed to lower serum cholesterol concentrations and had no effect on bile acid degradation (control 91%, kanamycin 92%). Similar results were obtained with chloramphenicol in 3 patients, and equivocal results were obtained with chlortetracycline in 3 patients. The correlation coefficient between undegraded cholic acid and percent decrease in serum cholesterol concentrations ( r = 0.732) was statistically significant ( P < 0.001). It is proposed that serum cholesterol levels might be controlled in part by the prevalence of bile acid-degrading bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract.
Quick and Autonomous Platoon Maintenance in Vehicle Dynamics For Distributed Vehicle Platoon Networks (2017)

Platoon systems, as a type of adaptive cruise control systems, will play a significant role to improve travel experience and roadway safety. The stability of a platoon system is crucial so that each vehicle maintains a safety distance from its proceeding vehicle and can take necessary actions to avoid collisions. However, current centralized platoon maintenance method cannot meet this requirement. We suggest to use a decentralized platoon maintenance method, in which each vehicle communicates with its neighbor vehicles and self-determines its own velocity. However, a vehicle needs to know its distance from its preceding vehicle to determine its velocity, which is unavailable in vehicle communication disconnection caused by vehicle dynamics (i.e., node joins and departures). Thus, a formidable challenge is: how to recover the platoon quickly in vehicle dynamics even when the distance information is unavailable? To handle this challenge, we first profile a succeeding vehicle's velocity to minimize the time to recover the connectivity hole with its preceding vehicle and find that the profiles are almost the same at the beginning regardless of its current velocity and distance to its preceding vehicle. Accordingly, we devise a strategy, in which a succeeding vehicle uses its stored common velocity profile when it is disconnected from its preceding vehicle and then adjusts its velocity once the connection is built. Experimental results from simulation show the efficiency and effectiveness of our decentralized platoon maintenance method.
The Solubility of Oxygen and Ozone in Liquids (1983)

This review covers the solubility of oxygen and ozone in liquids as a function of temperature and pressure. Solubility data for individual systems were critically evaluated and recommended or tentative values presented in many cases. The trend of solubilities in homologous series or related solvents is discussed. Liquids include water; seawater; aqueous salt solutions; mixed solvents; hydrocarbons; organic compounds containing oxygen, halogen, sulfur, nitrogen, or silicon; olive oil; and human blood. For ozone, only its solubility in water is presented. Key words: aqueous solutions; biological fluids; gas solubility; hydrocarbons; mixed solvents; organic solvents; oxygen; ozone; seawater; water.

Design of Mixed Synchronous/Asynchronous Systems with Multiple Clocks (2014)

Today's distributed systems are commonly equipped with both synchronous and asynchronous components controlled with multiple clocks. The key challenges in designing such systems are (1) how to model multi-clocked local synchronous component, local asynchronous component, and asynchronous communication among components in a single framework. (2) how to ensure the correctness of model, and keep consistency between the model and the implementation of real system. In this paper, we propose a novel computation model named GalsBlock for the design of multi-clocked embedded system with both synchronous and asynchronous components. The computation model consists of several hierarchical compound and atom blocks communicating with data port connections. Each atom block can be refined as parallel mealy automata. The synchronous component can be captured in an atom block with the corresponding local control clock while the asynchronous component in an atom block without clock, and the asynchronous communications can be captured in the data port connections among blocks. The unified operational semantics and formal semantics are defined, which can be used for simulation and verification, respectively. Then, we can generate efficient VHDL code from the validated model, which can be synthesized into the FPGA processor for execution directly. We have developed the graphical modeling, simulation, verification, and code generation toolkit to support the computation model, and applied it in the design of a sub-system used in the real train communication control.

Purification and cloning of sakacin 674, a bacteriocin from Lactobacillus sake Lb674 (1994)

Sakacin 674, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sake Lb764 and which inhibits the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulphate precipitation and sequential ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction and reversed phase chromatography. The complete amino acid sequence of sakacin 674 was determined by Edman degradation. The bacteriocin consisted of 43 amino acid residues and had a calculated molecular mass of 4436.6 Da, which is in good agreement with the molecular mass of 4437.2 as determined by mass spectrometry. The structural gene encoding sakacin 674 (sakR) was located on the chromosome. This gene was cloned and sequenced. It encoded a primary translation product of 61 amino acid residues which was cleaved between amino acids 18 and 19 to yield the active sakacin 674. Sakacin 674 resembled other known bacteriocins and was very similar to sakacin P.
Sphingomyelin synthase in rat liver nuclear membrane and chromatin (1999)

The presence of phospholipids in chromatin has been demonstrated, as well as the difference in composition and turnover compared to those present in the nuclear membrane. Recently, some enzymes were also evidenced in chromatin: the base exchange protein complex and neutral sphingomyelinase. The latter has a particular relevance, since sphingomyelin is one of the phospholipids more represented in chromatin. We therefore decided to study the synthesis of sphingomyelin in chromatin and in nuclear membrane isolated from liver nuclei. The evaluation of the enzyme was made (i) using [(3)H]phosphatidylcholine as donor of radioactive phosphorylcholine and (ii) by identifying the product isolated by thin layer chromatography. In both fractions the enzyme phosphatidylcholine:ceramide phosphocholine transferase or sphingomyelin synthase was present, although with higher activity in nuclear membrane. The enzyme present in the chromatin differs in pH optimum and K(m), showing a higher affinity for the substrates than that of nuclear membrane. The results presented show that sphingomyelin synthase is present not only in the cytoplasm at the level of the Golgi apparatus, but also in the nuclei, at the level of either the nuclear membrane or the chromatin.
On trial at the summer Olympic games: smart cards (1996)

Visa International has teamed up with the three largest banks in the southeastern United States to offer stored-value cards to the four million visitors and residents expected to attend the Olympics in Atlanta. Stored-value cards (or cash cards) transfer stored, digital money from the card to merchants' special terminals. Although 350 million smart cards are in use around the world, few Americans have ever used one. The paper considers how the future of the smart card in the US is riding on this high-profile trial at the Olympics.
Write Assist in Low-Voltage SRAMs (2012)

Write assist techniques are now commonly used to lower the minimum operating voltage (Vmin) of an SRAM. One of the key reasons to push the SRAM Vmin lower is to enable efficient Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) to save power. In this paper, we discuss the basics of SRAM faliure mechanisms, fundamentals of write assist techniques, ARM ® Artisan ® Low Voltage Memory Compilers with the write assist feature and results from GLOBALFOUNDRIES 28nm-SLP memories.
Study of a Two-Step Centrifugation Protocol for Concentrating Cells and Growth Factors in Bovine Platelet-Rich Plasma (2017)

There is a lack of information about the methods used for bovine platelet-rich plasma (PRP)/platelet-rich gel (PRG) procurement, including information on platelet (PLT), white blood cell (WBC) in PRP, and growth factor release from PRG supernatants. The aims of this study were to compare and to correlate the PLT, WBC, transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-<i>β</i><sub>1</sub>), and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) concentrations in bovine whole blood, plasma, and four PRP layers and their respective PRG supernatants: A and B (obtained by a single centrifugation tube method at 720<i>g</i>/5 min) and C and D (obtained by a double centrifugation tube method, by using two centrifugation episodes at 720<i>g</i>/5 min). PLT and WBC counts were significantly higher in PRP-C, followed by whole blood, PRP-A, PRP-B, and PRP-D. TGF-<i>β</i><sub>1</sub> concentrations were significantly higher in PRG-B supernatants and its correspondent PRP-B lysate when compared to the other PRG supernatants and plasma. Supernatants from PRG-A, PRG-B, and PRG-D had equivalent TGF-<i>β</i><sub>1</sub> concentrations. PDGF-BB concentrations were not statistically different between the hemoderivatives. Significant Pearson correlations were noted between PLT counts and WBC counts (0.8) and between PLT counts and PLT distribution width (0.6). Further studies should be performed to assess the potential clinical applications of these PRPs.

Enabling Massively Multi-Player Online Gaming Applications on a P2P Architecture (2005)

Abstract — Recent advances in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies have enabled the use of P2P architectures for developing complex applications such as, Massively Multi-Player Online Games (MMOG). In this paper we address a challenging research problem related to P2P MMOGs; efficient entity maintenance and interaction. We have identified two opposing software engineering approaches to address this problem. The first approach assumes that the entire virtual world and the game logic are implemented using database techniques, e.g., with a distributed index over all the peers and the game semantics built into data query/update functions. The second approach is to separate the entities into completely independent processes, using agentoriented programming techniques. In our work, we propose a combination of these two approaches; the use of a distributed spatial index to facilitate the discovery and querying of relevant entities and an agent-based approach to facilitate real time interactions between the entities. We show the relevant factors for dynamic optimization and the use of a new software architecture with existing game libraries to implement the system. I.

Does opiate premedication influence postoperative analgesia? A prospective study (1992)

The influence of opiate premedication on analgesic requirements postoperatively was investigated. Out of 98 patients with a lumbar disc prolapse 50 were premedicated with flunitrazepam orally, 48 with pethidine and triflupromazine intramuscularly. The operations were performed under inhalational anaesthesia. The average time up to the first demand for an analgesic was longer following opiate premedication (351 vs. 219 min). Only 45.8% of the patients treated with opiates demanded analgesics postoperatively, compared to 80.0% of those who had a benzodiazepine premedication (P less than 0.01). These clinical data confirm the experimental evidence that pretreatment with opiates diminishes the sustained hyperexcitation of the central nervous system caused by peripheral lesions.
On supersaturation during mass crystallization from solution (1990)

Abstract Supersaturation is the driving force for crystallization from solution. For design and operation of crystallization processes, it is necessary to apply a set of criteria for the determination of appropriate or even optimum supersaturation. In this paper we present and discuss the results of our experimental and theoretical investigations on supersaturation during crystallization from solution. While the determination of the metastable zone width of the solution is frequently applied as a fast check on solution behaviour, we demonstrate that the determination of the induction period of the supersaturated solution is a useful aid in ascertaining the maximum allowable supersaturation. Theoretical considerations and experiments confirm that the induction period dependssoley on growth kinetics if secondary nucleation is the predominant mechanism. In order to avoid uncontrollable spontaneous value of between 70 and 130 μm during crystallization. Since growth kinetics turns out to be the only important system property for the determination of maximum possible supersaturation, we conclude the paper with some arguments concerning a closed representation of growth kinetics.

Eliminating crosstalk (1990)

Signals can be contaminated by other signals and images can be contaminated by other images. This contamination is called crosstalk. An everyday example in our profession is the mixing of pressure and shear waves. For waves coming straight up, vertical phones measure pressure waves and horizontal phones measure shear waves. Often, however, the waves are not coming exactly straight up, so the simple idealization is contaminated and we have crosstalk.
