AI Enabling Technologies: A Survey (2019)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the opportunity to revolutionize the way the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) address the challenges of evolving threats, data deluge, and rapid courses of action. Developing an end-to-end artificial intelligence system involves parallel development of different pieces that must work together in order to provide capabilities that can be used by decision makers, warfighters and analysts. These pieces include data collection, data conditioning, algorithms, computing, robust artificial intelligence, and human-machine teaming. While much of the popular press today surrounds advances in algorithms and computing, most modern AI systems leverage advances across numerous different fields. Further, while certain components may not be as visible to end-users as others, our experience has shown that each of these interrelated components play a major role in the success or failure of an AI system. This article is meant to highlight many of these technologies that are involved in an end-to-end AI system. The goal of this article is to provide readers with an overview of terminology, technical details and recent highlights from academia, industry and government. Where possible, we indicate relevant resources that can be used for further reading and understanding.
L/MRP: A Buffer Management Strategy for Interactive Continuous Data Flows in a Multimedia DBMS (1995)

Multimedia applications demand specific support from database management systems due to the characteristics of multimedia data and their interactive usage. This includes integrated support for high--volume and time--dependent (continuous) data types like audio and video. One critical issue is to provide handling of continuous data streams including buffer management as needed for multimedia presentations. Buffer management strategies for continuous data have to consider specific requirements like providing for continuity of presentations, for immediate continuation of presentations after frequent user interactions by appropriate buffer resource consumption. Existing buffer management strategies do not sufficiently support the handling of continuous data streams in highly interactive multimedia presentations. In this paper we present the &quot;least/most relevant for presentation&quot; (L/MRP)buffer management strategy which considerspresentation specific informationin order to provide an optimi...
A New Concept for the Fabrication of Hydrogen Selective Silica Membranes (2005)

It is attempted to synthesize hydrogen selective silica-based membranes through a novel thin film deposition concept. This report describes the progress made during the 1st Year of this award. All project Tasks, for Year 1, were completed and the first thin films were prepared and characterized. The goal of this work is to use crystalline layered silicates to form hydrogen selective membranes for use in high temperature hydrogen/carbon dioxide separations. It was proposed to: (A) Synthesize layered silicate materials; (B) Prepare dispersions of as synthesized or delaminated layered silicates; (C) Prepare membranes by coating the layered silicates on macro-mesoporous supports; and (D) Test the membranes for H{sub 2}/CO{sub 2} selectivity at high temperature and pressures and for structural and functional stability at high temperature in the presence of water vapor. All Year 1 project Tasks are completed. Layered silicate particles were synthesized hydrothermally. Crystal shape and size was optimized for the formation of thin films. Calcination procedures that avoid particle agglomeration were developed and suspensions of the calcined silicate particles were prepared. The silicate particles and suspensions were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, Electron Microscopy and Dynamic Light Scattering. The characterization data indicate that plate like morphology, large aspect ratio and good dispersion have been achieved. A deposition process that leads to uniform, high-coverage ({approx}100%) coating of the layered silicate particles on porous alpha-alumina supports was developed.
A New Beam-Indexing Color Television Display System (1956)

This paper describes a single-gun cathode-ray display system (the Apple System) for color television receivers based on the phenomenon of secondary emission. An index signal, derived from a secondary emissive structure built into the screen of the tube, continuously indicates the position of the scanning spot relative to the color phosphor structure. This positional information is combined with the color television signal, and the combined signal modulates the scanning spot in amplitude and phase in such a manner that the spot sequentially illuminates the primary colors in the appropriate amounts and proportions to reproduce the intended scene. This paper describes the general features of the system and the philosophy behind its development, and the derivation of the index signal and its utilization in the color-processing and grid-drive circuits.

A measurement of the ZZ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s] = 7 TeV using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.02 fb(-1) recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC is presented. Twelve events containing two Z boson candidates decaying to electrons and/or muons are observed, with an expected background of 0.3 ± 0.3(stat)(-0.3)(+0.4)(syst) events. The cross section measured in a phase-space region with good detector acceptance and for dilepton masses within the range 66 to 116 GeV is σ(ZZ → ℓ+ ℓ- ℓ+ ℓ-)(fid) = 19.4(-5.2)(+6.3)(stat)(-0.7)(+0.9)(syst) ± 0.7(lumi) fb. The resulting total cross section for on-shell ZZ production, σ(ZZ)(tot) = 8.5(-2.3)(+2.7)(stat)(-0.3)(+0.4)(syst) ± 0.3(lumi) pb, is consistent with the standard model expectation of 6.5(-0.2)(+0.3) pb calculated at the next-to-leading order in QCD. Limits on anomalous neutral triple gauge boson couplings are derived.
Tout bouge autour de moi de Dany Laferrière au crible de l’éthique décoloniale de Fritta Caro (2020)

Dans le présent article, j’aborde Tout bouge autour de moi, un essai de Dany Laferrière au crible d'une méthodologie éthique proposée par Helena Martín Franco, une artiste colombienne établie au Québec, afin de désarmer le stéréotype du "pays maudit" que le discours occidental a posé sur Haïti. La méthodologie proposée par Martín Franco m'amène au-delà de l'écriture de Dany Laferrière jusqu'aux origines racistes et colonialistes du stéréotype expliqué dans l’œuvre d’un historien haïtien qui fait une brève apparition dans son essai, Michel-Rolph Trouillot. De cette façon, j'amorce une exploration des possibilités épistémologiques et pédagogiques du discours des artistes latino-américains et caribéens établis au Québec en établissant une relation dissonante en celui-ci et les visions stéréotypées de cette région.
Prospective study of mycobacterial infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. (1990)

Fifty four patients with cystic fibrosis, aged 3-67 years, were studied prospectively for pulmonary mycobacterial infection. Sputum smears and cultures were carried out and intradermal skin tests performed. Mycobacteria were cultured from six patients in association with clinical deterioration; four patients had positive direct smears. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M aviumintracellulare, M kansasii, and M gordonae were isolated. There were no deaths and all improved with chemotherapy. A third of the other 48 patients had positive skin test responses (greater than 6 mm) to purified protein derivative (PPD) tuberculin and 21 to one or more antigens prepared from non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Sensitisation increased with age; before the age of 11 only one patient had a positive response to PPD tuberculin and none to any other antigen. This was less than in healthy control subjects of similar age. After age 11 the reactions in sensitised patients were stronger than in positive healthy control subjects. Our study indicates that it is important to consider mycobacterial infection in patients with cystic fibrosis who deteriorate without obvious cause.

Adaptive playout scheduling for VoIP using the k-Erlang distribution (2010)

We propose a new adaptive playout scheme for VoIP. The k-Erlang distribution is introduced to model the packet inter-arrival time distribution. A cost function is proposed for the next played out packet in the buffer based on modelling packet-arrival times with the k-Erlang distribution. The cost function essentially balances the average buffering delay and the packet-loss rate. The optimal playout length of the packet is determined by minimizing the cost function and realized by either inserting or dropping pitch cycles from the packet. Our real-world data experiments show that our scheme outperforms two reference methods for both low-jitter and high-jitter cases.
Identification and structural definition of H5-specific CTL epitopes restricted by HLA-A*0201 derived from the H5N1 subtype of influenza A viruses (2009)

The haemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein of influenza A virus is a major antigen that initiates humoral immunity against infection; however, the cellular immune response against HA is poorly understood. Furthermore, HA-derived cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) epitopes are relatively rare in comparison to other internal gene products. Here, CTL epitopes of the HA serotype H5 protein were screened. By using in silico prediction, in vitro refolding and a T2 cell-binding assay, followed by immunization of HLA-A2.1/K(b) transgenic mice, an HLA-A*0201-restricted decameric epitope, RI-10 (H5 HA205-214, RLYQNPTTYI), was shown to elicit a robust CTL epitope-specific response. In addition, RI-10 and its variant, KI-10 (KLYQNPTTYI), were also demonstrated to be able to induce a higher CTL epitope-specific response than the influenza A virus dominant CTL epitope GL-9 (GILGFVFTL) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of HLA-A*0201-positive patients who had recovered from H5N1 virus infection. Furthermore, the crystal structures of RI-10-HLA-A*0201 and KI-10-HLA-A*0201 complexes were determined at 2.3 and 2.2 A resolution, respectively, showing typical HLA-A*0201-restricted epitopes. The conformations of RI-10 and KI-10 in the antigen-presenting grooves in crystal structures of the two complexes show significant differences, despite their nearly identical sequences. These results provide implications for the discovery of diagnostic markers and the design of novel influenza vaccines.
Breakdown of Effective Connectivity During Slow Wave Sleep: Investigating the Mechanism Underlying a Cortical Gate Using Large-Scale Modeling (2009)

Effective connectivity between cortical areas decreases during slow wave sleep. This decline can be observed in the reduced interareal propagation of activity evoked either directly in cortex by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or by sensory stimulation. We present here a large-scale model of the thalamocortical system that is capable of reproducing these experimental observations. This model was constructed according to a large number of physiological and anatomical constraints and includes over 30,000 spiking neurons interconnected by more than 5 million synaptic connections and organized into three cortical areas. By simulating the different effects of arousal promoting neuromodulators, the model can produce a waking or a slow wave sleep-like mode. In this work, we also seek to explain why intercortical signal transmission decreases in slow wave sleep. The traditional explanation for reduced brain responses during this state, a thalamic gate, cannot account for the reduced propagation between cortical areas. Therefore we propose that a cortical gate is responsible for this diminished intercortical propagation. We used our model to test three candidate mechanisms that might produce a cortical gate during slow wave sleep: a propensity to enter a local down state following perturbation, which blocks the propagation of activity to other areas, increases in potassium channel conductance that reduce neuronal responsiveness, and a shift in the balance of synaptic excitation and inhibition toward inhibition, which decreases network responses to perturbation. Of these mechanisms, we find that only a shift in the balance of synaptic excitation and inhibition can account for the observed in vivo response to direct cortical perturbation as well as many features of spontaneous sleep.
HER2/neu (HER2) specific T-cell immunity in patients with HER2+ inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and prognosis (2009)

3057 Background: IBC is rare, highly aggressive, and associated with worse prognosis when compared to non-IBC tumors. Moreover, multimodality treatment has had little impact on overall prognosis. HER2 is overexpressed in about 40% of IBC tumors and is associated with worse overall survival (OS). We have developed vaccines that elicit both HER2-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell immunity in HER2+ cancer patients. Generation of HER2-specific T-cell immunity could (1) target immunogenic and biologically relevant proteins such as HER2 in IBC, (2) result in immunogenic eradication of HER2+ tumor cells, and (3) potentially prevent disease relapse when used in the adjuvant setting after standard therapy. A retrospective analysis of IBC patients immunized with HER2 vaccines was conducted to better understand the development of HER2-specific T-cell immunity and its possible impact on overall prognosis in IBC. Methods: Clinical and immunological data of IBC patients enrolled in University of Washington IRB approved HER2 vaccine trials was collected and reviewed. 27 patients immunized between 1996–2008 were identified; and 24/27 subjects who received vaccines designed to elicit both CD4+/CD8+ immunity were included in immunologic and survival analysis. The 24 subjects received either a HER2 DNA or HER2 peptide-based vaccine that were admixed with GM-CSF and given intradermally monthly for a total of 3 DNA or 6 peptide vaccines. Immune responses were assessed via IFN-γ ELISPOT at baseline and post-vaccination. Results: All 24 subjects had stage III IBC and median age was 48 (range 34–77). 10/24 (42%) patients had ER/PR+ tumors, 9/24 (37%) had received trastuzumab, and 15/24 (62%) had received multimodality treatment (chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiotherapy). 12/18 subjects (66%) evaluable for immunologic response developed HER2-specific T-cell immunity post-vaccination. Median OS for patients (n=6) not generating HER2-specific immunity was 31 months and median OS for the 12 patients who developed HER2-specific immunity has not been reached at median follow-up of 46 months, (p=0.026). Conclusions: Patients with IBC are able to generate HER2-specific T-cell immunity after HER2 vaccination, and development of HER2-specific immunity may impact survival. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
Clinical studies with 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea (NSC 79037). (1971)

Summary The clinical tolerance to 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea was explored in patients with advanced cancer. This compound is related to 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, an agent of recognized antineoplastic effectiveness, but has only one chloroethyl group, is more lipid soluble, and is at least as active or more active against mouse Leukemia 1210. A single p.o. dose of 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea was given because of the superiority of widely spaced doses against Leukemia 1210 and the expected delayed hematological toxicity. The starting dose of 15 mg/sq m body surface area corresponded to one-third of the minimal toxic dose in the most sensitive animal species in preclinical studies. Large initial increments of drug dose at presumably nontoxic levels were followed by progressively smaller dose increments to the range of moderate, reversible toxicity. Forty patients with cancer received 82 treatments. Reproducible subtoxic decrease of thrombocytes occurred at the third dose step (50 mg/sq m); decrease of leukocytes occurred at the fifth dose step (100 mg/sq m). Dose-limiting toxicity resulting in delayed thrombocytopenia and leukopenia within 4 and 6 weeks, respectively, was reached at 130 mg/sq m. This dose was well tolerated in 6 patients when given at intervals of 6 weeks. Objective responses at toxic doses were seen in 2 of 5 patients with evaluable bronchogenic carcinoma and in both patients with malignant lymphoma. Marked neurological improvement was noted in all 3 patients with glioblastoma multiforme.
THERMAL SWITCHING OF LASER EMISSION OF Er3+ AT 2.69 μ AND Tm3+ AT 1.86 μ IN MIXED CRYSTALS OF CaF2:ErF3:TmF3 (1967)

Pronounced temperature-dependent transfer of excitation from the Er3+ laser pump levels to lower levels of Er3+ was observed in CaF2:ErF3 single crystals at ErF3 concentrations exceeding 12.5 wt %. Transfer of excitation from Er3+ to Tm3+ occurred when TmF3 was included as a second active constituent of the crystals. Stimulated emission of the 4I11/2 → 4I13/2 transition of Er3+ at 2.69 μ at 298°K resulted independently of Tm3+ and as a consequence of concentration quenching of emission of Er3+ from levels above 4I11/2. At 100°K reduced transfer of excitation to 4I11/2 of Er3+ occurred due to radiative emission from levels above 4I11/2, and laser emission of Tm3+ was detected at 1.86 μ.
Effect of Oxidizer on the Galvanic Behavior of Cu∕Ta Coupling during Chemical Mechanical Polishing (2006)

The effect of oxidizer addition, namely, , , and , on the galvanic behavior of the coupling in base slurry was studied. Both open-circuit potentials of the uncoupled Cu and Ta as well as galvanic current of the were measured in static and under chemical mechanical polishing conditions to analyze the roles of these additives. The results showed that was more effective than and in promoting the passivation of Ta, which in turn caused the change of polarity between Cu and Ta. The effect of area ratio on the galvanic behavior of the coupling was also investigated. The results showed that in -containing slurry, Ta was the anode with a area ratio of 5:1 but became the cathode with an area ratio of 1:1.

Detailed line shapes have been calculated of M\"ossbauer spectra for comparison to Oosterhuis and Lang's data of ${\mathrm{K}}_{3}$Fe${(\mathrm{CN})}_{6}$ diluted in diamagnetic ${\mathrm{K}}_{3}$Co${(\mathrm{CN})}_{6}$. Spin-relaxation effects have been included by utilizing the full hyperfine interaction (including all off-diagonal terms) within the super-operator formalism of relaxation theory. In order to describe the data, it is necessary to assume a distribution of relaxation rates corresponding to differing Fe near-neighbor and next-near-neighbor environments. Using a simplified model containing three relaxation rates, the concentration and temperature dependence of the spectra have been explained. The relaxation rates obtained are compared with those from ESR studies, and the differences in the results of the two methods discussed.
The EcoRI rflp of c‐<i>MOS</i> in patients with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, compared to geriatric and non‐Geriatric controls (1989)

We have used Southern blot analysis to type individuals for the presence or absence of a rare EcoRI RFLP at the c-mos proto-oncogene locus. This polymorphism has previously been reported to be associated with cancer. Ninety-eight patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 154 cancer-free individuals, including 108 geriatric patients with no family history of cancer, were studied. Because 4 geriatric patients (aged 67-94) were found to have the rate c-mos allele (A2), and the frequency of this A2 allele was no higher among the lymphoma/leukemia patients than among cancer-free individuals, it is unlikely that it constitutes a marker for NHL or ALL.
Taxonomic notes on Argyrolobium variopile (Fabaceae), and the status of Lotononis magnistipulata (1987)

The nomenclature and taxonomy of Argyrolobium variopile N.E. Br. has been studied. Morphologically the species resembles species of Dichilus DC. and Lotononis (DC.) Eckl. & Zeyh., but its taxonomic position in Argyrolobium is confirmed. It is also shown that Lotononis magnistipulata Duemmer is a synonym of this species.
