Business Support System Integration : Call Detail Record Processing and Order Management Implementation (2015)

The objective of the project is to create a new BSS to solve the issues that telecommunication service providers are facing today and find the best ways for network operators to run their business. The project is carried out by following the agile development method. JIRA is used to track the issues and roadmaps. The majority of the project is built on new technologies which makes it scalable. Additionally the architecture of the project is built keeping configurability in mind. It will be able to adopt any change or upgrade in the operator business. Furthermore it will help the network operators to improve their bottom line by giving them a complete and constant overview of their business. Eventually it is about creating a better experience for end-users.\n\nThis paper describes the prototyping of a call detail record processing engine using Node.JS, implementation of a REST layer on a SOAP API, development of order management system and their outcomes.\n\nThe performance of the call detail record processing engine created by this project is quite satisfactory and the architecture is followed by different other modules of the project. The REST layer is running without any crush since its deployment. The order management is still an ongoing project. However what has been developed is stable and satisfactory.

Mechanism of action/effects of androgens on lipid metabolism. (1992)

The strongest predictors of cardiovascular disease in women have been shown to be diabetes, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and, to a lesser degree, hypertriglyceridemia. The difference in risk between men and premenopausal women has been explained by the following widely held hypothesis: androgens lower plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), particularly the HDL-2 subfraction, and increase plasma concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). In contrast, estrogens have the opposite effect, raising plasma concentrations of HDL, particularly HDL-2, and lowering plasma concentrations of LDL. After the menopause, it is believed that the protective effect of estrogens in women is lost and the incidence of heart disease rises to equal that in men. This paper provides a brief review of the effect of endogenous and exogenous androgens on lipoprotein metabolism in men and women, and considers the relevance of these findings to the choice of progestogens used in oral contraceptive preparations.

Preparation and characterization of cation exchangers from agricultural residues (2002)

Abstract Cation‐exchange systems were prepared by phosphorylation of some lignocellulosic materials, namely, rice straw, cotton stalks, and bagasse. The effect of the particle size of the lignocellulosic materials as well as their chemical constituents on the phosphorylation process was studied by the determination of the phosphorus content of the prepared ion‐exchange material. Phosphorus was determined using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Optimization of the phosphorylation reaction was achieved by studying the effect of the different experimental parameters, namely, the reaction time, temperature, and amount of phosphorus oxychloride added, on the phosphate content of the reaction product. The treatment of the lignocellulosic material with sodium hydroxide was found to improve its phosphorylation. The cation‐exchange efficiency of the produced phosphated material toward Cd 2+ , Co 2+ , Cr 3+ , Cu 2+ , Fe 3+ , Ni 2+ , Pb 2+ , and Zn 2+ was examined. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fruit thinning Victoria plums (<i>Prunus domestica</i>L.): preliminary studies with paclobutrazol (1985)

SummarySprays of 1 000 or 2 000 mg l−1 paclobutrazol (PP333) thinned and increased the fruit size of Victoria plums on two sites when applied to mature trees at full bloom, in early/mid- May or early June in 1983. Sprays of 125,250,500 or 1 000 mg l−1 paclobutrazol applied in late May 1982 to young, lightly cropping Victorias also thinned fruitlets but failed to increase fruit size. Significant reductions in shoot growth were recorded only on trees sprayed at full bloom in one of the experiments in 1983
High peak power femtosecond pulses from modelocked semiconductor laser in external cavity (2008)

The generation of high peak power femtosecond pulses from an all semiconductor laser system is demonstrated. The system is based on a passively modelocked two-section laser diode in an external cavity, a tapered amplifier and a compact external pulse compressor. Pulse durations are achieved below 600 fs with an average optical power above 500 mW at a repetition rate of 330 MHz. This corresponds to a peak power of 2.5 kW, which is the highest value reported for an all semiconductor ultrafast laser system so far.
Genetic Diversity among Soybean Plant Introductions and North American Germplasm (1998)

Elite North American soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm derives from a limited number of ancestors. Knowledge of genetic diversity patterns in elite germplasm and plant introductions (PIs) is needed to diversity efficiently the elite gene pool. The objective of this research was to study diversity among five gene pools consisting of either ancestral lines (AN), elite lines from northern (NE) or southern (SE) U.S. production areas, and PIs with a northern or southern maturity. The relationship among the pools was evaluated by analysis of 53 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) loci and by coefficient of parentage (CP). Clustering of lines on the basis of RFLP data was generally consistent with their prior pool classification, though AN lines were dispersed. Greater diversity was noted within the NE than the SE gene pool. The ancestors Mandarin‐Ottawa and PI257435 appeared to be major sources of diversity in the elite gene pool. Diversity among gene pools was primarily due to gene frequency differences and not from the presence or absence of unique alleles. Much of the pattern of diversity in the elite population can be explained by molecular diversity among a few major ancestors, the relationship of these ancestors to the elite lines, and the geographic origin of the ancestors. The correlation of CP and SMC estimates of genetic similarity was 0.61. Selection or drift appeared to have influenced the correlation. The reported diversity pattern may be a guide for finding and incorporating new genes into elite North American soybean.
The Impact Of E-Learning In The Rural Business Environment (2014)

Abstract This paper presents the eLearning as a modern and efficient tool for teaching entrepreneurship. The outcomes of an entrepreneurship education project, developed and carried out in Romania, are shown. The eLearning projects, called “Rural Manager” and “Rural Entrepreneur”, address to the rural communities with an entrepreneurship education curriculum. The education needs were identified through a survey conducted on 954 persons random selected from 23 counties in case of the “Rural Entrepreneur” project. The eLearning platforms developed by the two projects comprise various modules for example: the firm and the economic environment, entrepreneurship and innovation, business management, business marketing, finance and business accounting, communication and negotiation, and IT for businesses. In addition, the platform facilitates the consulting and networking services, as well as an e-business platform promoting the beneficiaries’ products/services. In order to measure scientifically the needs of training and of managerial consultancy at distance, complex researches were used that implied the achievement of focus groups, brainstorming and depth interviews as well as statistical analyses. The number of the beneficiaries of the two projects was over 1000 persons and their occupational statute was variously: owners, employees from the public or private sector, freelancers, farmers, students and unemployed workers.
A CSMP Commutation Model for Design Study of a Brushless DC Motor Power Conditioner for a Cruise Missile Fin Control Actuator. (1985)

Recent improvements in rare earth magnets have made it possible to construct strong, lightweight, high horsepower DC motors. This has occasioned a reassessment of electromechanical actuators as alternatives to comparable pneumatic and hydraulic systems for use as flight control actuators for tactical missiles. A dynamic equivalent circuit model for the analysis of a small four pole brushless DC motor fed by a transistorized power conditioner utilizing high speed switching power transistors as final elements is presented. The influence of electronic commutation on instantaneous dynamic motor performance is particularly demonstrated and good correlation between computer simulation and typical experimentally obtained performance data is achieved. The model is implemented in CSMP language and features more accurate air gap flux representation over previous work. Hall effect sensor rotor position feedback is simulated. Both constant and variable air gap flux is modeled and the variable flux model treats the flux as a fundamental and one harmonic. (Theses) (Author)
<title>Robust partial-volume tissue classification of cerebral MRI scans</title> (1997)

In magnetic resonance images (MRI) a voxel may contain multiple tissue types (partial volume effect). We concentrate in the classification of these voxels using an adaptive Bayesian approach and pay particular attention to practical implementation problems induced by the modeling of partial volume voxels. Moreover, we show that this algorithm is suitable to perform tissue classification of brain MRI scans that in turn can be used for visualization or quantitative analysis, or for further purposes such as brain image registration. Results are presented showing the efficacy of the method as compared to a binary classification process.
Circulating forms of human foetal somatomedin (1987)

Two forms of somatomedin, which crossreact in a radioreceptor-assay using foetal brain membranes as matrix, have been partially purified from the serum of human foetuses aged 16-28 weeks of gestation. The purification scheme consisted of acid precipitation, Sephadex G-50 chromatography, affinity chromatography and cation exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. The two peaks of activity had apparent molecular weights of approximately 7000 and different isoelectric points. The elution positions of these peaks corresponded to the elution positions of the truncated IGF-1 variant and intact IGF-2, respectively.
Specific DNA binding by different classes of human p53 mutants. (1995)

The p53 protein is a multifunctional transcription factor which orchestrates cellular responses to DNA damage, so helping to conserve genomic stability. It may also regulate genes involved in intercellular signalling, such as thrombospondin, a negative regulator of angiogenesis and metastatic spread. Activation of p53 target genes requires sequence-specific DNA binding, a function which maps to the central core of the protein. Missense point mutations within this domain inactivate p53 tumour suppressor function and involve either (i) DNA contact residues, or (ii) residues important for conformational structure. Using in vitro techniques we have analysed seven DNA contact mutants and 17 structural mutants known to occur in cancer. We show that DNA contact mutants can be carried into specific DNA interaction when co-expressed with wild type protein. For structural mutants, 9/17 retained DNA binding capacity and, with one exception, DNA binding correlated with conformational flexibility of the mutant protein. The exception was Asp281, which appeared essential for DNA interaction, probably due to its ability to form salt bridges with DNA contact residues Arg273 and Arg280. We suggest that different classes of p53 mutant may prove amenable to different strategies for restoration of wild type tumour suppressor function as means of anti-cancer therapy.
A method for the colorimetric determination of urinary methylmalonic acid in pernicious anemia. (1965)

Abstract The detection of increased methylmalonic acid in the urine serves as a useful tool in the diagnosis of vitamin B 12 deficiencies, including pernicious anemia. A simple method for determination is described here. The acid is isolated from urine by using Dowex 3 × 4 anion-exchange resin, allowed to react with diazotised p-nitroaniline to form a green color, and determined spectrophotometrically at 620 mμ. A number of urinary components were examined and found not to interfere significantly with the assay. Methylmalonic acid was identified by paper and thin-layer chromatography as the chromogenic agent in the urine of a patient with untreated pernicious anemia. Malonic acid, which also yields a green color with the diazo reagent, was not detectable in this urine. The elevated level of urinary methylmalonic acid in this patient showed a prompt response to therapy, declining from 750 mg. to 92 mg. per day within a 24 hour period following the parenteral administration of vitamin B 12 . Two other patients with pernicious anemia who were studied showed pretreatment levels of 40 and 610 mg. methylmalonic acid per day. The coefficient of variation for the method ranged from 4 to 15 per cent in urine samples containing from 72 to 1,020 mg. methylmalonic acid per liter. The error was considerably greater at the apparent concentration of 5 mg. of methylmalonic acid per liter in normal urine.
Parallel and Distributed Stream Processing: Systems Classification and Specific Issues (2015)

Deploying an infrastructure to execute queries on distributed data streams sources requires to identify a scalable and robust solution able to provide results which can be qualified. Last decade, different Data Stream Management Systems have been designed by exploiting new paradigm and technologies to improve performances of solutions facing specific features of data streams and their growing number. However, some tradeoffs are often achieved between performance of the processing, resources consumption and quality of results. This survey 5 suggests an overview of existing solutions among distributed and parallel systems classified according to criteria able to allow readers to efficiently identify relevant existing Distributed Stream Management Systems according to their needs ans resources.
SmSCTP: SIP-Based MSCTP Scheme for Session Mobility over WLAN/3G Heterogeneous Networks (2007)

In this paper, a new cross-layer protocol was developed, called as SmSCTP protocol, for session mobility over WLAN and 3G UMTS heterogeneous networks. Two key issues investigated in this work are the connection broken problem and fleeting-location-collapse problem. The connection broken problem indicates that a connection is broken when a mobile device is roaming to a different network. The connection broken problem incurs the long handoff delay time and cannot provide the seamlessly handoff result for session mobility. Traditional session mobility schemes, such as SIP (layer-7 solution) and MSCTP (layer-4 solution) protocols, only provide non-real time registration when third party user is calling up mobile user. The non-real time registration incurs the well-known fleeting-location-collapse problem and causes additional location update overhead. This paper presents a SIP-based MSCTP (SmSCTP) protocol which is a cross-layer, combination of layer-4 and layer-7, approach. The SmSCTP protocol utilizes the multi-homing mechanism to reduce hand-off delay time and to provide the more seamless handoff scheme. In the SmSCTP protocol, two new SIP signalings for the SmSCTP protocol are designed to simplify the initial handoff procedure and solve fleeting-location-collapse problem. Finally, simulation results are conducted to illustrate the performance achievements of the proposed SmSCTP protocol by improving the signaling cost, the hand-off delay time.
Pricing and Resource Allocation in a Cloud Computing Market (2012)

The problem is identified as a pricing driven virtual machine (VM) revenue maximization problem with Markovian traffics in a cloud market composed of hybrid cloud and public cloud. A pooled resource allocation model is built followed by numerical tests. The results indicate that hybrid cloud performs the best and the resource allocation model helps optimally allocate the pooled resources.
Analysis of Thick Rectangular Waveguide Windows with Finite Conductivity (1973)

The modal analysis method is used to calculate the reflection and transmission properties of a thick rectangular window centrally located in a rectangular waveguide. Excellent agreement is obtained between calculated and measured values for windows of intermediate thickness. For thicker windows made of finitely conducting materials, the results obtained using perfectly conducting waveguide modes are inaccurate. However, by modifying the modes so as to include some of the mode-coupling effects caused by the surface currents, good agreement between calculated and measured data is obtained for a very thick, finitely conducting window.
Tetrahelical structural family adopted by AGCGA-rich regulatory DNA regions (2017)

Abstract Here we describe AGCGA-quadruplexes, an unexpected addition to the well-known tetrahelical families, G-quadruplexes and i-motifs, that have been a focus of intense research due to their potential biological impact in G- and C-rich DNA regions, respectively. High-resolution structures determined by solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy demonstrate that AGCGA-quadruplexes comprise four 5′-AGCGA-3′ tracts and are stabilized by G-A and G-C base pairs forming GAGA- and GCGC-quartets, respectively. Residues in the core of the structure are connected with edge-type loops. Sequences of alternating 5′-AGCGA-3′ and 5′-GGG-3′ repeats could be expected to form G-quadruplexes, but are shown herein to form AGCGA-quadruplexes instead. Unique structural features of AGCGA-quadruplexes together with lower sensitivity to cation and pH variation imply their potential biological relevance in regulatory regions of genes responsible for basic cellular processes that are related to neurological disorders, cancer and abnormalities in bone and cartilage development.
