The Old World Microveliinae (Hemiptera: Veliidae) I. The status of Pseudovelia Hoberlandt and Perivelia Poisson, with a review of Oriental species (1983)

Abstract This paper is the first of a series of re visionary works concerned with the Old World Microveliinae. The taxonomic status of Pseudovelia Hoberlandt is discussed. In order to serve the stability of nomenclature, P. tibialis Esaki & Miyamoto is designated as new type-species to replace Microvelia majnr Poisson (misidentified, belongs to the genus Xiphoveloidea Hoberlandt). Perivelia Poisson is a new synonym of Pseudovelia, which is redescribed. The Oriental species of Pseudovelia s.str. are reviewed and a key is given. Four new species are described: P. longitarsa (China), P. buccula (Thailand), P. lundbladi (Peninsular Malaysia), and P. borneensis (Sarawak, Sabah) n.spp. The following nomenclatural changes are presented: P. crassipes (Lundblad) n.syn. (= P. sexualis (Paiva) n.comb.), P. hypodonta (Lundblad), P. tjurupensis (Lundblad), and P. feuerborni (Lundblad), all n.comb.
Proteinase Isoenzyme Patterns of Bacteroides nodosus: Distinction between Ovine Virulent Isolates, Ovine Benign Isolates and Bovine Isolates (1982)

Bacteroides nodosus isolates from ovine virulent footrot and ovine benign footrot and bovine isolates of low virulence for sheep were distinguishable from each other by their proteinase isoenzyme patterns after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Variants of low virulence were not always distinguishable from their virulent parent strains. The molecular weights of the isoenzymes ranged from 70000 to 129000. The relationship of isoenzyme patterns to virulence is discussed.
Procedure for Temane and Pande field development projects and Mozambique and Secunda pipeline (2002)

The Southern Africa Regional Gas project involves the extraction, processing and utilization of natural gas reserves in Mozambique, the exploration and development of gas fields, establishment of a processing facility, construction of a pipeline, conversion of a gas network, and the conversion of several factories. Each feature's environmental aspects are considered separately. Potential negative environmental impacts are in the following areas: soil erosion and excavation; sedimentation; impacts on habitats including grasslands, ironwood forests, mangrove swamps, and barrier lakes; improved access to sensitive ecosystems; bat colonies; crop and arable land losses; internal migration, settlement changes, and change in employment; malaria; nuisances related to construction; and pollution including air pollutants, increase in effluents, ash water systems, noise pollution, and solid waste. Mitigation measures are proposed for the impacts identified.
A routing protocol and addressing scheme for oil, gas, and water pipeline monitoring using wireless sensor networks (2008)

Wireless sensor networks have a vast amount of applications including environmental monitoring, military, ecology, agriculture, inventory control, robotics and health care. This paper focuses on the area of monitoring, and protection of oil, gas, and water pipelines using wireless sensor networks. ROLS: a routing protocol for linear structure wireless sensor networks is presented along with a new hierarchical addressing scheme for this type of networking environment. The networking framework and associated protocols are optimized to take advantage of the linear nature of the network to decrease installation, and maintenance cost, decrease energy requirements, increase reliability and improve communication efficiency. In addition, simulation experiments using the proposed model are presented.
Meeting the challenge of large-scale software development in an educational environment (2002)

This paper describes a final-year Master's course in large-scale software development. A number of issues such as closeness to an application domain and executing the software on a real target system are stressed in order to imitate an industrial environment. The experience gained from the course is discussed. In particular, effort data (in terms of man-hours) from the course are presented, both from the plan devised by the students, and the actual outcome. Furthermore, it is discussed how the data can be used to create an experience base for the future. The objective for next year's course is to let the students plan their projects based on the experience base. The experience base will also form the basis to complement the course with a complete experience factory.
A procedure for using pattern classification techniques to obtain a voiced/Unvoiced classifier (1979)

A classifier to make the voiced/unvoiced (V/UV) decision in speech analysis which performs with an error rate of less than half of a percent is presented. The decision making process is viewed as a pattern recognition problem in which a number of features can be used to make the classification. Training is accomplished using a nonparametric, nonstatistical technique. In order to obtain a classifier which would make the correct decision for a variety of speakers and to determine which of the features under consideration should be used, a procedure for interleaving the contributions of the feature and speaker sets was developed. This procedure is presented in terms of the notions of covering and satisfaction. The failure of a classifier to cover a set of speakers indicates that more training information from those speakers is necessary to define the classifier. The failure of the classifier to satisfy a set of speakers indicates that the performance of the classifier could be improved by the use of more features in making the V/UV decision. In the training procedure, covering and satisfaction were attained on successively larger sets of speakers, with the result that a classifier was obtained which could correctly make the V/UV decision for all of the speakers used in testing, including those not used in the training process.

Universal and reconfigurable to UPS active power filter for line conditioning (2003)

This paper describes an improved universal active power line conditioner designed to attenuate every disturbance in the electric power system and critical loads, except frequency variations. The circuit has a series voltage filter and a parallel current filter interconnected through a shared DC bus. In case of a supply interruption, the current filter reconfigures to UPS and feeds a preselected 20% of load during 500 ms at the expenses of the DC bus. Over previous reconfigurable solutions, the input and output series static switches have been eliminated improving the reliability, efficiency and cost. Optional parallel LC tuned current filters have also been proved to be control compatible. The search has been guided by an iterative analysis+synthesis cost comparative method, initiated in previous works, showing the cost of the components involved in each explored topology. Experimental results on three laboratory models and a 400 kVA industrial prototype validate the topology and suggest improvement of some control loops.
Parallel Mri Reconstruction: A Filter-Bank Approach (2005)

Parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using multichannel receiver coils has emerged as an effective tool to reduce imaging time in various MRI applications. However, there are still a number of image reconstruction issues that have not been fully addressed, thereby limited the level of speed enhancement achievable with the technology. This paper reformulates the image reconstruction problem as a digital filter bank problem (in contrast to the conventional matrix formulation used in the popular SENSE technique) and develops an effective algorithm to handle the ill-conditioned problem often encountered in image reconstruction. Simulations based on an eightchannel configuration demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to the SENSE reconstruction especially when large acceleration factors are used.

Effect of intracerebroventricular α-MSH on food intake, adiposity, c-Fos induction, and neuropeptide expression (2000)

alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide proposed to play a key role in energy homeostasis. To investigate the behavioral, metabolic, and hypothalamic responses to chronic central alpha-MSH administration, alpha-MSH was infused continuously into the third cerebral ventricle of rats for 6 days. Chronic alpha-MSH infusion reduced cumulative food intake by 10.7% (P < 0.05 vs. saline) and body weight by 4.3% (P < 0.01 vs. saline), which in turn lowered plasma insulin levels by 29.3% (P < 0.05 vs. saline). However, alpha-MSH did not cause adipose-specific wasting nor did it alter hypothalamic neuropeptide mRNA levels. Central alpha-MSH infusion acutely activated neurons in forebrain areas such as the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, as measured by a 254% increase in c-Fos-like immunoreactivity (P < 0.01 vs. saline), as well as satiety pathways in the hindbrain. Our findings suggest that, although an increase of central melanocortin receptor signaling acutely reduces food intake and body weight, its anorectic potency wanes during chronic infusion and causes only a modest decrease of body weight.
Energy-Efficient Multicast Service Delivery Exploiting Single Frequency Device-To-Device Communications in 5G New Radio Systems (2018)

The forthcoming fifth generation (5G) networks are claimed to deliver the large amount of traffic generated by the huge number of heterogeneous devices that constitute the Internet of Things (IoT). This unprecedented volume of both human- and machine-generated traffic to be managed imposes 5G network operators to move the focus from throughput-optimized to energy-efficiency-optimized resource allocation solutions. Device-to-device (D2D) communications are recognized as an effective offloading technique that the 5G network can exploit to boost the capacity and energy efficiency of future 5G networks. In this paper, we design a technique to efficiently deliver multicast traffic in a 5G New Radio (NR) network by exploiting the benefits of D2D communication and single-frequency operation in order to improve the overall network energy efficiency. In the designed solution, the subset of devices in better channel conditions are served through a conventional multicast transmission, while cell-edge devices receive the multicast service from relay nodes that simultaneously transmit in D2D mode the same content. The dimension of the multicast serving area and the set of D2D connections to establish are chosen in order to maximize the overall network energy efficiency. Performed simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed solution under varying frame configurations and number of multicast devices.
PARTIAL OXIDATION OF HYODESOXYCHOLIC ACID (1946)

In the course of experiments leading to the synthesis of various steroid hormones it became desirable to study the use of a 6-hydroxy bile acid as an intermediate for the introduction of unsaturation a! to a ketone group at Cs.This reaction had previously been described by Marker and Krueger (1) who prepared progesterone from 3,6-diacetoxy-20-ketopregnane.None of the intermediates were isolated and the authors made no mention of the yield obtained.Several experiments were carried out, therefore, on the hydrolysis of methyl diacetoxyhyodesoxycholate with from 0.05 to 0.15 N NaOH in 85 per cent ethanol.These failed to reveal any evidence for differential hydrolysis of the acetoxy groups.In general a hydroxyl group at position 3 in the steroid nucleus is more resistant to oxidative attack by CrOs than a hydroxyl group attached to Rings B or C. Thus the hydroxyl groups of cholic acid are dehydrogenated by CrOs in the order C,, Cr2, Cp (2-4); the C&OH group of hyodesoxycholic acid is more readily oxidized than the &OH (5) ; and a hydroxyl group at Cl1 is more easily oxidized than the C&-OH (6, 7).However, a similar generalization cannot be made for other oxidizing agents.In particular the useful method of Oppenauer (S), in which an alcohol is dehydrogenated to the carbonyl derivative by an aluminum alcoholate in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor such as acetone or cyclohexanone, when applied to saturated polyhydroxy steroids results in preferential dehydrogenation of the CB-hydroxyl.Thus methyl cholate (Y), methyl desoxycholate (O), 3(a) ,20(a)-pregnandiol,' 3,7-dihydroxy-12-acetoxy-20-ketopregnane (lo), and 3,12-dihydroxy-20-keto-21-acetoxypregnane (11) yield the 3-keto derivative upon Oppenauer oxidation.The oxidation of the Cs-hydroxyl is, of course, much more readily and completely accomplished when a double bond is in the vicinity and with such compounds partial oxidation is possible even when the other OH group is primary (11).The ease of oxidation of the G-OH is explicable in steric terms, since the C&-hydroxyl in either cy or 3 configuration can easily form the intermediate alcoholate, whereas the *The work reported here was supported in part by a grant from Memorial Hospital, for which we wish to express our thanks.
Design and Test of a Complex MCM Product (1994)

A family of high performance, computer oriented multichip module (MCM) products is being developed to provide the building blocks for advanced, high density computer systems. Each MCM is a system level building block that interfaces to other family members through compatible processor and memory busses. By selecting and interconnecting the various MGM blocks, it is possible to configure a variety of high speed, cache coherent, multiprocessing computer designs. The use of multichip modules is necessary to meet system performance and size requirements. This paper focuses on a specific member of the MGM family, a 4M word by 40 bit Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM). Special attention is given to product requirements, design methodology, and test strategy. MCM testing is sufficiently complex that test must be an integral part of the complete module design process.
Varying quality function in genetic algorithms and the cutting problem (2002)

In this paper, an implementation of a genetic algorithm (GA) is presented, using a quality function that is not unaltered but changes according to the search evolution. This means that the GA 'sees' a continuously changing search space, throughout one run. The example chosen to test the effect of a varying quality function is the cutting problem. Simulation results show that the dynamic quality function performs much better than its static counterpart.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Novel single-layer photoresist containing cycloolefins for 193 nm (1998)

New matrix resins containing maleic anhydride and cycloolefin units for ArF excimer laser resist have been developed. Several series of these matrix resins having good dry-etching durability were prepared by free radical polymerization using AlBN as free radical initiator. All of the resists using the matrix resins revealed good coating uniformity and adhesion to silicon wafer, and were readily soluble in a variety of resist solvents such as MMP, EEP, PGMEA and EL. In preliminary 193 nm testing a resist formulated with the matrix resins sulfonium triflate as photoacid generator afforded positive images with 0.14 micrometers L/S resolution. In this paper, we will discuss the polymerization results and lithographic properties for 193 nm exposure tool.
Exploring the Interaction of Some N- Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-Phenyl Alanyl-L-Alanine Ketones and Bovine Spleen Cathepsin B by Molecular Modeling and Binding Free Energy Calculation (1999)

A semi-empirical method for estimation of binding free energy, recently proposed by Aqvist and coworkers, has been effectively tested in several protein-ligand binding cases. We have applied this linear interaction energy method to predict the binding of some N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenyl alanyl-L-alanine ketones with bovine cathepsin B and computed the respective absolute binding constants from averages of molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the computer simulation results agree well with available experimental data and make it possible to understand better the origin of tight binding and inhibitor specificity of cathepsin B.
Laser surface melting of some alloy steels (1983)

AbstractAbstractAn investigation is reported of the structures of laser surface-melted zones in a 1C- 1·4Cr steel; also some results are presented for a carburized alloy steel and a medium-carbon alloy steel. Treatment was carried out with a CW CO2 laser at a power of 1·7kW, beams of ∼O·4-4·3mm dia., and traverse speeds of ∼8-250 mm s−1 (corresponding to interaction times of 2-500 ms). Zones of smooth, flat surface profiles were produced with essentially martensitic structures and corresponding high hardness. In the high-carbon steels coated with graphite before laser melting, the hardness of the zones decreased with increasing traverse speed as a result of carbon solution, leading to a lowering of Ms and increased austenite retention. In the 1C-1·4Cr steel. zones were produced that consisted almost entirely of austenite with fine columnar cellular/dendritic structures. Refrigeration to ∼-100C was needed to form substantial amounts of martensite; stabilization effects in relation to martensite formation resulted from holding at room temperature. When laser melting was applied to specimens without any surface coating or with an MnO2 coating, the structures were predominantly martensitic; however, they contained larger amounts of retained austenite than were present after conventional quenching, indicating a lowering of the Ms temperature.
Selective Silicon Epitaxy and Orientation Dependence of Growth (1973)

Silicon was grown epitaxially on oxidized silicon substrates in which the oxide was removed over selected areas. Both planar substrates and etched pedestals standing above the substrates were used. (110) oriented substrates had the highest growth rates, followed by (100), (115), and (111). (110) also had the grown surfaces with best planarity. Pattern displacement was very noticeable on (115) substrates. Alignment of the patterns with major crystal axes had a significant influence on the growth perfection. Some of the experimental observations can be explained by surface energy considerations.
A Selenium based approach to automatic test script generation for refactoring JavaScript code (2013)

During the development process of Web application, two essential phases are software testing and code refactoring. However, automatic testing script plays an important role in test automation. It has been a hot research topic in Web application. In order to refactor the JavaScript code of Web application more conveniently, an approach to automatic script generation from the defined test case is introduced in this paper. First, it describes the test case using customized XML format. Then, since Selenium platform supports multi-browsers testing, a method to transform XML description into test scripts based on Selenium framework is proposed as the emphasis.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of nick sealing by T4 DNA ligase (2003)

T4 DNA ligase is an Mg2+-dependent and ATP-dependent enzyme that seals DNA nicks in three steps: it covalently binds AMP, transadenylates the nick phosphate, and catalyses formation of the phosphodiester bond releasing AMP. In this kinetic study, we further detail the reaction mechanism, showing that the overall ligation reaction is a superimposition of two parallel processes: a 'processive' ligation, in which the enzyme transadenylates and seals the nick without dissociating from dsDNA, and a 'nonprocessive' ligation, in which the enzyme takes part in the abortive adenylation cycle (covalent binding of AMP, transadenylation of the nick, and dissociation). At low concentrations of ATP (<10 microM) and when the DNA nick is sealed with mismatching base pairs (e.g. five adjacent), this superimposition resolves into two kinetic phases, a burst ligation (approximately 0.2 min(-1)) and a subsequent slow ligation (approximately 2x10(-3) min(-1)). The relative rate and extent of each phase depend on the concentrations of ATP and Mg2+. The activation energies of self-adenylation (16.2 kcal.mol(-1)), transadenylation of the nick (0.9 kcal.mol(-1)), and nick-sealing (16.3-18.8 kcal.mol(-1)) were determined for several DNA substrates. The low activation energy of transadenylation implies that the transfer of AMP to the terminal DNA phosphate is a spontaneous reaction, and that the T4 DNA ligase-AMP complex is a high-energy intermediate. To summarize current findings in the DNA ligation field, we delineate a kinetic mechanism of T4 DNA ligase catalysis.
Leukemia Allotransplants in Canine Fetuses: Influence of Host Age and Immune Responsiveness (1976)

Myelomonocytic leukemia cells allografted prenatally in some developing purebred Beagle fetuses elicited tumors postnatally in some of the pups. The later in gestation that the inoculum was delivered, the less was the disposition to eventual leukemia, indicating that fetal host age at the time of grafting and tumorigenesis are correlated. The leukemogenic transplants may have grown because of fetal immunoinsufficiency or because they were tolerogenic in the developing immune system. Limited immunologic data for exclusion of the latter possibility are reported.
