Development of Mass Producible ANC System for Broad-Band Road Noise (2018)

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The mass producible broad-band ANC system for road noise is developed with fully digital control system. For this configuration, installation packages are intensively considered by minimizing size of the controller, simplifying wiring system and implementing virtual microphone techniques. Virtual microphone technique enables error microphone to be installed in remote position of driver’s ear, and therefore, increases installation degree of freedom significantly. To enhance noise control performance with the minimum latency, filter design of FxLMS algorithm is optimized while additional audio compensation techniques are applied to maintain audio performance of amplifier. The present ANC system is equipped to HMC (Hyundai Motor Company) new release of hydrogen driven vehicle, which is introduced in the technology promotion event in Pyeongchang Olympic 2018.</div></div>
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. (1990)

Although the increased need for studies assessing the influence of age on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of all drugs has been emphasized, relatively little is known about NSAIDs in the elderly. The pharmacokinetics of some NSAIDs have been examined in elderly subjects; unfortunately, recent data indicate that much of the earlier information may be incomplete or even misleading. Many studies report the disposition of only total NSAIDs. Since all of the NSAIDs are highly protein bound, it is the unbound, pharmacologically active, fraction that is most important. Few studies have quantified the pharmacokinetics of unbound NSAID in any age group, much less in elderly patients. Also, it is now apparent that studies of the propionic acid derivatives and other drugs with chiral centers must assess the disposition of the active S-enantiomer. Finally, studies of NSAIDs that form acylglucuronides are confounded by the reversion of these metabolites to active drug. Reduced renal elimination of these metabolites may be greater in elderly persons. Studies that account for these features of NSAIDs will provide necessary data for safe and effective use of NSAIDs in the elderly.

Detection of Sugar Accumulation and Expression Levels of Correlative Key Enzymes in Winter Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>) at Low Temperatures (2011)

Carbohydrate accumulation is common in frost-resistant plants, and many enzymes participate in this process. The sugar content and expression levels of metabolic enzymes related to sugar biosynthesis in response to drops in temperature were measured in two cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) with different cold tolerances. The results indicate that the two cultivars examined, Dongnongdongmai 1 and Jimai 22, accumulated high levels of carbohydrate before November 4 (above 0°C), and that accumulation decreased as temperatures fell. However, this decrease was more modest in Dongnongdongmai 1, which had a higher sugar content. Sucrose and fructose were the main soluble sugars, indicating an important role in freezing tolerance. Gene expression studies revealed that expression of the genes encoding chloroplastic enzymes was significantly upregulated in the tillering nodes. Expression upregulation of TaSS and TaTPT may be helpful for sugar accumulation before November 4.

Design and implementation of an administration portal : A web application interface with focus on accessibility and usability (2020)

The last few years, giant companies like Facebook and Google have taken over the publishing market by attracting both advertisers and users to their platforms. This has caused smaller news publishers to lose their influence and their independence in the industry. To combat this trend, Newsadoo is on a mission to establish a collaborative news platform that benefits everyone involved. To help fulfill the company’s vision, the platform’s content has to be easily moderated by both Newsadoo and its partners to make sure that it satisfies the users’ needs. This master thesis concerns the design and implementation of a new solution for Newsadoo’s administrative portal, which will allow both internal administrators and external partners to moderate the content in Newsadoo’s main product. The work was done on site at Newsadoo’s office in Linz, Austria, during the fall term of 2019. The project progressed in bi-weekly sprints based on the principles of Lean UX, which were comprised of methods common to projects revolving around interface design and development. These were methods like user flows, site architecture mapping, wireframing, and different forms of testing and evaluation. The project resulted in Newsadoo Backoffice, a user interface with focus on accessibility and usability that facilitates easy moderation of Newsadoo’s main product. Newsadoo Backoffice is also a potential selling point for the company when trying to find new publishing partners to collaborate with, as this new solution also provides partners with useful data and knowledge on their own company’s performance.
Viscosity, Self-Diffusion, and Allied Effects in Solid Polymers (1952)

An attempt has been made to explain the observed viscous behavior of bulk polymers. It is found that the viscosity and diffusion may be represented by a theory which takes into account the coupling together of the molecules. Two equivalent treatments are given. One makes use of a segmental friction factor in the same manner as the common formulation of dilute solution viscosity of polymers. The second method uses the concept of segmental jumping. Since both are equivalent, an expression for the friction factor is found in terms of the segmental jumping frequency. Using this fact it is possible to calculate the segmental jumping frequency from bulk viscosity data. A simple application leads to the result that the jumping frequency is about 0.3 sec−1 at the transition temperature in polystyrene. In addition a simple relation is found to hold between bulk viscosity and diffusion constant. The proportionality constant is easily evaluated and so one is now able to obtain self-diffusion constants directly from viscosity data.
Mass Transport of Aluminum by Momentum Exchange with Conducting Electrons (1967)

A failure mode commonly found in high power devices and integrated circuits appears when aluminum conductors carry current densities in excess of 105 amperes per square centimeter at temperatures above 100°C. The mode of failure is an open circuit which often is observed as a "crack" in the aluminum and is commonly referred to as "cracked stripe" or "disappearing aluminum." This paper presents a study of this failure mode which has been identified with the mass transport of aluminum by momentum exchange between activated aluminum ions and conducting electrons. The activation energy for the reaction has been obtained and equations relating temperature, current density and film structure to conductor life are presented. The activation energy appears to be identical to that for the lattice self-diffusion of aluminum modified by factors involving both surface diffusion and grain-boundary diffusion. These latter two factors are important in films formed by the condensation of aluminum vapor.

Molecular Properties of a Cholinergic Differentiation Factor from Muscle‐Conditioned Medium (1985)

Conditioned medium by a variety of rat non-neuronal cells contains a protein involved in the differentiation of cholinergic neurons in cultures prepared from newborn rat superior cervical ganglion, from nodose ganglion, and from embryonic spinal cord. We have determined some hydrodynamic properties of this factor using as a bioassay the increase in choline acetyltransferase activity in sympathetic neurons grown for 12-15 days in the presence of the factor. The Stokes' radius, measured by molecular sieving chromatography on an Ultrogel AcA 44 column, was similar to that of ovalbumin (27.6 A). By analysis on 5-20% linear sucrose gradients made in H2O and D2O, we determined the partial specific volume (0.68 ml X g-1 and the sedimentation coefficient (2.1S). These data allowed the calculation of the molecular weight (21,000) and the frictional ratio f/fo (1.56). The elution pattern of the factor from a SynChropak CM 300 HPLC cation exchange column suggested that it was a basic protein. The activity of this factor was unaffected by heat treatment at 100 degrees C for 10 min.
RESPONSES FOLLOWING ANGER: A QUESTIONNAIRE STUDY ON DETERMINANTS OF AGGRESSION (1986)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the determinants of aggressive responses through Averill's questionnaire “Everyday Experience of Anger. ” Frist, four dimensions were found by the varimax rotation of eleven items of response following anger. They were each interpreted as direct aggression, displaced aggression, nonaggressive problem-solving, and suppression of anger. The quantification analysis I was conducted with these dimensions as criteria. The independent variables for the analysis were personality, situational (harms and harm-doer), cognitive, and emotional factors. The results indicated that the occurrence of aggressive responses depends on the sex and status of the harm-doer, the causal attribution of harm, and differential arousal of hostile and instrumental motives.
MICROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION OF THE ONSET OF ASPHALTENE PRECIPITATION (1996)

ABSTRACT A microscopic study of the onset of asphaltene precipitation is reported. The onset conditions can be quantified by measurement of mixture refractive index, together with microscopic observations of particulate formation in mixtures of oil and precipitant, with or without added solvents. For isooctane mixtures with a variety of hydrocarbon solvents and a crude oil from Alaska, the onset of precipitation occurs over a narrow range of solution refractive index. Addition of polar solvents or different precipitating agents can shift the refractive index at which precipitation begins. Refractive index decreases when a crude oil is diluted by precipitant, as in this study, or when changes in temperature and pressure alter the relative molar volumes of species in the oil. If it falls below some critical value, resin/asphaltene aggregates that had been in stable dispersion become unstable and precipitate. These observations provide a method of screening solvents to differentiate between those that prevent precipitation mainly by maintaining a higher mixture refractive index and others that may participate in or disrupt asphaltene/resin interactions.
A Capacitive Proximity Sensor in Dual Implementation with Tactile Imaging Capability on a Single Flexible Platform For Robot Assistant Applications (2006)

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a dual mode proximity sensor which can detect not only proximity but also touch of an object for robot assistant applications. The sensor operates in two modes: proximity mode and tactile mode. Initially, the sensor operates in proximity mode until it touches an object. When the proximity mode detects the contact of any objects, the sensor will switch its mode into tactile sensing mode for acquiring an image from an object. We have used the same platform that we developed for the tactile sensor which was presented in the last MEMS conference [ 1]. In the current work, we have assessed if the existing platform is suitable for dual implementation. We have tested various designs and configurations in a simple PCB fixture in order to determine the proper electrode configuration of the proximity sensor. We found that the best detection range has been obtained from the largest electrodes with the smallest gap. This implies that the dual implementation is quite plausible in the original tactile sensor platform which has a 1 mm gap between electrodes and 22 mm in length. Finally, we have demonstrated that proximity detection up to 10 cm is possible in the dual implementation in a flexible platform with adequate electrode configuration and sensing circuitry.
Switched reluctance motor with DC assisted excitation (2002)

A new topology of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives is proposed in this paper. Based on a similar concept of the d q theory for conventional sinusoidal electric machines, this SRM with DC assisted excitation (SRDC) uses auxiliary DC windings to achieve the built-in field excitation in SRM structures. Since the field in this SRDC motor is established by the DC winding excitation, a larger percentage of the armature current is used to produce torque rather than building the field, which makes the SRDC motor have 50% higher torque density than that of the conventional SRM drive without losing performance. The detailed modeling of this SRDC motor drive, power density, machine performance comparison against conventional SRM drive and the proof of the theory by the experimental study are given in the paper. The results of this study show great potential for this technology in multiple industrial applications.
Progress and Challenges in Transfer of Large‐Area Graphene Films (2016)

Graphene, the thinnest, strongest, and stiffest material with exceptional thermal conductivity and electron mobility, has increasingly received world-wide attention in the past few years. These unique properties may lead to novel or improved technologies to address the pressing global challenges in many applications including transparent conducting electrodes, field effect transistors, flexible touch screen, single-molecule gas detection, desalination, DNA sequencing, osmotic energy production, etc. To realize these applications, it is necessary to transfer graphene films from growth substrate to target substrate with large-area, clean, and low defect surface, which are crucial to the performances of large-area graphene devices. This critical review assesses the recent development in transferring large-area graphene grown on Fe, Ru, Co, Ir, Ni, Pt, Au, Cu, and some nonmetal substrates by using various synthesized methods. Among them, the transfers of the most attention kinds of graphene synthesized on Cu and SiC substrates are discussed emphatically. The advances and the main challenges of each wet and dry transfer method for obtaining the transferred graphene film with large-area, clean, and low defect surface are also reviewed. Finally, the article concludes the most promising methods and the further prospects of graphene transfer.

Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy: Intravenous Versus Oral Route (2014)

Background: The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous iron sucrose versus oral iron in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. Methodology: One hundred fifty pregnant women with gestational age less than 34 weeks with iron deficiency anemia were selected. The women in group A received IV iron sucrose. The drug was administered by IV infusion. The women in the group B received ferrous sulphate as oral iron in the dose of two tablets three times a day. Repeat laboratory estimations were done after six weeks. Results were analyzed by t test and Z- test of preparation using SPSS 15 and Microsoft excel. Results: Mean gestational age in group A and group B were 26.13 ± 5.15 weeks and 26.27 ± 4.71 weeks, respectively. Mean Hb level was 6.71 ± 0.65 g/dl in group A which was raised to 10.64 ± 0.71 g/dl. Mean Hb level was 6.72 ± 0.67 g/dl in group B which was raised to 10.17 ± 0.54. The target Hb level of 10 g/dl was achieved in 88% cases in group A and in 76% cases in group B (P =0.055). Conclusion: Intravenous iron sucrose therapy is safe and as effective as oral iron in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
Oral Infection of C57BL/6 Mice with<i>Toxoplasma gondii:</i>A New Model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease? (2002)

Infection with Toxoplasma gondii is naturally acquired through the oral route by ingestion of undercooked or raw meat containing cysts of the parasite or through ingestion of contaminated water or food contaminated with cysts or oocysts. Following peroral infection with 100 cysts of the ME49 strain of T. gondii, C57BL/6 mice die within 13 days after infection, whereas BALB/c mice survive. At day 7 of infection, massive necrosis of the villi and mucosal cells in the ilea is observed in C57BL/6 but not BALB/c mice. CD4(+) T cells, interferon-gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and inducible nitric oxide synthase mediate the development of necrosis. These findings indicate a Th1-type immunopathology, with parasite replication appearing to be involved in the first 3 days of infection. Murine and human studies on the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease) also indicate a Th1-type immunopathology. The shared and distinct features of oral infection of mice with T. gondii and murine models of inflammatory bowel disease are discussed herein.
Development and Validation of the Computerised Adaptive Beat Alignment Test (CA-BAT) (2018)

Beat perception is increasingly being recognised as a fundamental musical ability. A number of psychometric instruments have been developed to assess this ability, but these tests do not take advantage of modern psychometric techniques, and rarely receive systematic validation. The present research addresses this gap in the literature by developing and validating a new test, the Computerised Adaptive Beat Alignment Test (CA-BAT), a variant of the Beat Alignment Test (BAT) that leverages recent advances in psychometric theory, including item response theory, adaptive testing, and automatic item generation. The test is constructed and validated in four empirical studies. The results support the reliability and validity of the CA-BAT for laboratory testing, but suggest that the test is not well-suited to online testing, owing to its reliance on fine perceptual discrimination.
recA protein promotes homologous-pairing and strand-exchange reactions between duplex DNA molecules. (1981)

Purified recA protein, product of the recA+ gene, promotes homologous pairing between intact covalent circular duplex DNA and circular single-stranded DNA carrying a short hybridized fragment [West, S. C., Cassuto, E. & Howard-Flanders, P. (1981) Nature (London) 290, 29-33.]. In this paper we investigate the interaction of duplex fragments with circular single-stranded DNA carrying the hybridized fragment and find that recA protein promotes an efficient strand-exchange reaction between interacting DNA molecules. The exchange is dependent upon linear duplex DNA fragments that are homologous to, but extend beyond, the short fragment present on the hybridized DNA substrate. The reactions require stoichiometric amounts of recA protein and the presence of ATP.
Hydria: An Online Data Lake for Multi-Faceted Analytics in the Cultural Heritage Domain (2020)

Advancements in cultural informatics have significantly influenced the way we perceive, analyze, communicate and understand culture. New data sources, such as social media, digitized cultural content, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, have allowed us to enrich and customize the cultural experience, but at the same time have created an avalanche of new data that needs to be stored and appropriately managed in order to be of value. Although data management plays a central role in driving forward the cultural heritage domain, the solutions applied so far are fragmented, physically distributed, require specialized IT knowledge to deploy, and entail significant IT experience to operate even for trivial tasks. In this work, we present Hydria, an online data lake that allows users without any IT background to harvest, store, organize, analyze and share heterogeneous, multi-faceted cultural heritage data. Hydria provides a zero-administration, zero-cost, integrated framework that enables researchers, museum curators and other stakeholders within the cultural heritage domain to easily (i) deploy data acquisition services (like social media scrapers, focused web crawlers, dataset imports, questionnaire forms), (ii) design and manage versatile customizable data stores, (iii) share whole datasets or horizontal/vertical data shards with other stakeholders, (iv) search, filter and analyze data via an expressive yet simple-to-use graphical query engine and visualization tools, and (v) perform user management and access control operations on the stored data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first solution in the literature that focuses on collecting, managing, analyzing, and sharing diverse, multi-faceted data in the cultural heritage domain and targets users without an IT background.
Effect of pH on the interaction of botulinum neurotoxins A, B and E with liposomes (1989)

The interaction of botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, B and E with membranes of different lipid compositions was examined by photolabelling with two photoreactive phosphatidylcholine analogues that monitor the polar region and the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer. At neutral pH the neurotoxins interacted both with the polar head groups and with fatty acid chains of phospholipids. At acidic pHs the neurotoxins underwent structural changes characterized by a more extensive interaction with lipids. Both the heavy and light chain subunits of the neurotoxins were involved in the process. The change in the nature and extent of toxin-lipid interaction occurred in the pH range 4-6 and was not influenced by the presence of polysialogangliosides. The present data are in agreement with the idea that botulinum neurotoxins enter into nerve cells from a low pH intracellular compartment.
Zu Lebensbedingungen junger Ehepaare in den ersten Ehejahren (1985)

Die Daten der dem Bericht zugrundeliegenden Intervallstudie beziehen sich auf berufstätige verheiratete Frauen und Männer - nicht Ehepaare - unter 26 Jahren. Sie wurden zwischen 1976 und 1984 über ihr erstes, zweites, viertes und siebentes Ehejahr schriftlich befragt. Im ersten Ehejahr waren es 1000 Probanden, im zweiten davon noch repräsentative 625, im vierten 365 und im siebenten 100. Als Parameter dienten "Einkommenssituation", "Wohnbedingungen" und "Einkaufsmöglichkeiten". Es zeigte sich, daß die Einkommenszufriedenheit im Verlauf des siebenten Ehejahres sank. Die Wohnzufriedenheit wuchs, jedoch bei den Männern stärker als bei den Frauen bzw. Hausfrauen und oft unabhängig von den realen Wohnbedingungen. Ebenso sank die Einkaufszufriedenheit oft unabhängig von den realen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Dies läßt darauf schließen, daß noch andere, subjektive wie objektive, Faktoren wirksam werden. (pbb)
