Zero-Coupon Yield Curve Estimation with the Package<b>termstrc</b> (2010)

Since zero-coupon rates are rarely directly observable, they have to be estimated from market data. In this paper we review several widely-used parametric term structure estimation methods. We propose a weighted constrained optimization procedure with analytical gradients and a globally optimal start parameter search algorithm. Moreover, we introduce the <b>R</b> package <b>termstrc</b>, which offers a wide range of functions for term structure estimation based on static and dynamic coupon bond and yield data sets. It provides extensive summary statistics and plots to compare the results of the different estimation methods. We illustrate the application of the package through practical examples using market data from European government bonds and yields.
MODEL SWIMMERS (2007)

Fish come in all shapes and sizes, from short and fat to long and thin and variations in between. Despite this diversity, researchers are relatively adept at predicting how well fish can swim from their body shape. But tropical coral reef fish are the most diverse in the oceans, and their juveniles vary widely in their swimming ability. Rebecca Fisher and Derek Hogan took on the challenge of exploring the relationship between body shape and swimming ability in the juveniles of 100 species of tropical fish from 26 families (p. 2436). Having measured the fastest sustainable swimming speed of each fish, they then measured the dimensions of the fishes' bodies and fins. They found that a simple model which took into account the length and depth of the body, and the dimensions of the caudal fin at the back of the fish could accurately predict swimming performance. Different body dimensions explained 69% of the variation between different fishes' swimming performance, and the model worked equally well on all of the species, which came from reefs as far apart as the Caribbean and the Australian Great Barrier Reef. The model's success means that it can be used to predict swimming ability in small juvenile fish, which are very difficult to study in the lab.

Continuous Refactoring of a Java Server Application. (2005)

The Invoice20one Server is a server application written in Java providing digital signatures for electronic invoices. The application design was based on the service architecture of the Jakarta Turbine framework. Extending the product portfolio required a continuous refactoring of the existing code base, which resulted in a light-weight Avalon container now part of the Jakarta Fulcrum project. This paper describes the problems encountered with Jakarta Turbine, the existing Avalon containers, the refactoring process and the Maven build tool being used to provide automated building, regression testing, generation of software metric reports and project documentation.
A New Efficient Algorithm for Solving Systems of Multivariate Polynomial Equations. (2005)

The security of many recently proposed cryptosystems is based on the difficulty of solving large systems of quadratic multivariate polynomial equations. The classical algorithm for solving such a system is Buchberger&apos;s algorithm for constructing Gröbner bases. Another algorithm for solving such a system is XL algorithm. For sparse system, Buchberger&apos;s algorithm benefits from sparsity of the system, but its complexity is impractical and hard to determine. XL could not make a good use of sparse structure of the system, since XL has no good strategy of choosing the multiply monomials. In this paper, based on...
What Is Complex/Emotional About Emotional Complexity? (2019)

Affective experiences can fluctuate, be combined, and fused, resulting in various phenomena labeled as being emotionally complex. Despite the lack of a common theoretical framework, several phenomena including mixed emotions, emodiversity, meta-emotions, awe, among several others, have been defined as being emotionally complex. In this conceptual analysis, I aim to integrate the diversity of emotional complexity by describing various phenomena associated with this construct. This integration offers a more comprehensive panorama of the current usage of the concept of emotional complexity compared to previous attempts to consolidate the field. Furthermore, this conceptual analysis intends to disentangle the emotional fingerprints of emotional complexity. In particular, I present evidence and arguments showing that complex emotions can be characterized as having specific facial expressions, appraisals, and functional significance. Finally, I suggest that it is possible to describe emotional complexity using concepts and properties from the complex systems theory. Concepts such as the hierarchical organization of the affect system and emergent self-organization are used to explain current evidence on emotional complexity. I explain that applying complex systems theory to emotional complexity is not only theoretically convenient, but that complex systems theory also serves to advance new forms to conceptualize the affect system. The current conceptual analysis can help to organize current research and theory in order to encourage new research endeavors in the field of emotional complexity and acknowledge the importance of emotional complexity in models of affect, for which I suggest some specific guidelines.
P-seIectjn and Venous thromboembolism (2009)

Activated platelets are key components in many arterial disorders.p-seIectin is an activation-dependent platelet receptor,which is also identified in endothelial cells.This transmembrane protein has continued to attract great interest as it supports rapid and reversible cell adhesion in flow svstems and thus plays an essential role in multicellular interactions during thrombosis.For diagnostic purposes,P-seiectin can readily be detected on the platelet surface by flow cytometry and by ELISA as a soluble ligand m the plasma'and these data bear clinical significance in the pathogenesis of venous thrombosis.The inhibition of interaction of P-selectin with the ligand could downregulate cytokine and tissue factor expression and repress recruitment of leukocytes.

MacroLab (2008)

We present a macroprogramming framework called MacroLab that offers a vector programming abstraction similar to Matlab for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). The user writes a single program for the entire network using Matlab-like operations such as addition, find, and max. The framework executes these operations across the network in a distributed fashion, a centralized fashion, or something between the two - whichever is most efficient for the target deployment. We call this approach deployment-specific code decomposition (DSCD). MacroLab programs can be executed on mote-class hardware such as the Telos [24] motes. Our results indicate that MacroLab introduces almost no additional overhead in terms of message cost, power consumption, memory footprint, or CPU cycles over TinyOS
Synchronization protocols in distributed real-time systems (2002)

In many distributed real-time systems, the workload can be modeled as a set of periodic tasks, each of which consists of a chain of subtasks executing on different processors. Synchronization protocols are used to govern the release of subtasks so that the precedence constraints among subtasks are satisfied and the schedulability of the resultant system is analyzable. Tasks have different worst-case and average end-to-end response times when different protocols are used. In this paper, we consider distributed real-time systems with independent, periodic tasks and fixed-priority scheduling algorithms. We propose three synchronization protocols and conduct simulation to compare their performance with respect to the two timing aspects.

Toward robotic process automation implementation: an end-to-end perspective (2019)

Purpose Robotic process automation (RPA) seeks to automate business processes, using software robots that interact with systems through their user interface, improving efficiency and reducing costs. However, some critical steps, such as identifying processes suitable for RPA automation, can have a tremendous impact in organizations if a wrong process is selected. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide an approach for analyzing RPA development in business organizations. Design/methodology/approach This research presents a cohesive literature review about RPA, in order to identify RPA main concepts, which should be reported and considered in all RPA case studies. A model connecting the main elicited RPA concepts is presented as well as its evaluation and applicability grounded of past RPA case study (CS) analysis, using design science research. Findings The results from this research show that most of the RPA main concepts gathered in the literature review are not reported in the selected RPA CSs. Originality/value As RPA is a recent topic, literature lacks a synthetization of RPA main topics. This research aims to fill the gap on that, by identifying and synthesize the main topics related to RPA and proposing a model that connects the main RPA concepts, which can be used by researchers as a schema for conducting and writing RPA case studies.
Shock Waves on the Highway (1956)

A simple theory of traffic flow is developed by replacing individual vehicles with a continuous “fluid” density and applying an empirical relation between speed and density. Characteristic features of the resulting theory are a simple “graph-shearing” process for following the development of traffic waves in time and the frequent appearance of shock waves. The effect of a traffic signal on traffic streams is studied and found to exhibit a threshold effect wherein the disturbances are minor for light traffic but suddenly build to large values when a critical density is exceeded.
Chromyl Chloride—A Possibly Important Industrial Air Contaminant (1962)

Abstract This paper discusses some of the parameters of the formation of chromyl chloride from solutions containing chloride and chromate ions, sulfuric acid and water. It points out that anhydrous conditions are not a necessary requisite for its formation, and that it does not hydrolyze as readily as is usually assumed to be the case. Work on the problem of analyzing gaseous media for chromyl chloride is reported, and the results of a study of its formation in an industrial establishment are discussed. The possibility is suggested that chromyl chloride may play an important role in the formation of lung cancer in chromate workers.
Mechanisms of cholesterol-lowering effects of dietary insoluble fibres: relationships with intestinal and hepatic cholesterol parameters (2005)

Fibres with a range of abilities to perturb cholesterol homeostasis were used to investigate how the serum cholesterol-lowering effects of insoluble dietary fibres are related to parameters of intestinal cholesterol absorption and hepatic cholesterol homeostasis in mice. Cholestyramine, chitosan and cellulose were used as examples of fibres with high, intermediate and low bile acid-binding capacities, respectively. The serum cholesterol levels in a control group of mice fed a high fat/high cholesterol (HFHC) diet for 3 weeks increased about 2-fold to 4.3 mm and inclusion of any of these fibres at 7.5 % of the diet prevented this increase from occurring. In addition, the amount of cholesterol accumulated in hepatic stores due to the HFHC diet was reduced by treatment with these fibres. The three kinds of fibres showed similar hypocholesterolaemic activity; however, cholesterol depletion of liver tissue was greatest with cholestyramine. The mechanisms underlying the cholesterol-lowering effect of cholestyramine were (1) decreased cholesterol (food) intake, (2) decreased cholesterol absorption efficiency, and (3) increased faecal bile acid and cholesterol excretion. The latter effects can be attributed to the high bile acid-binding capacity of cholestyramine. In contrast, incorporation of chitosan or cellulose in the diet reduced cholesterol (food) intake, but did not affect either intestinal cholesterol absorption or faecal sterol output. The present study provides strong evidence that above all satiation and satiety effects underlie the cholesterol-lowering properties of insoluble dietary fibres with moderate or low bile acid-binding capabilities.
Yerba Mate <i>(Ilex paraguariensis)</i> Beverage: Nutraceutical Ingredient or Conveyor for the Intake of Medicinal Plants? Evidence from Paraguayan Folk Medicine (2018)

The use of medicinal plants mixed with yerba mate <i>(Ilex paraguariensis)</i> has been poorly studied in the ethnopharmacological literature so far. The Paraguayan Mestizo people have the longest tradition of using the yerba mate beverage, apart from the indigenous Guarani people. This study analyses the role of yerba mate and medicinal plants in the treatment of illnesses within Paraguayan folk medicine. The research was conducted among 100 Paraguayan migrants living in Misiones, Argentina, in 2014 and 2015. Yerba mate is not considered to be a medicinal plant by its own virtues but is culturally a very important type of medicinal plant intake. Ninety-seven species are employed in hot and cold versions of the yerba mate beverage. The most important species are as follows: <i>Allophylus edulis</i> (highest number of citations), <i>Aristolochia triangularis</i> (highest relative importance value), and <i>Achyrocline flaccida</i> and <i>Achyrocline tomentosa</i> (highest score by Index of Agreement on Species). The plants are used in the treatment of 18 medicinal categories, which include illnesses traditionally treated with plants: digestive system, humoral medicine, and relatively new health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high levels of cholesterol. Newly incorporated medicinal plants, such as <i>Moringa oleifera,</i> are ingested predominantly or exclusively with the <i>mate</i> beverage.
Technical feasibility study for the development of a large capacity wind powered electrical generating system (1973)

The engineering feasibility of developing a basic mechanical system necessary for extracting large amounts of power (on the order of 10 to 20 MW) from the wind is considered using the concept of vertical airfoils moving along a closed horizontal track system. Attention is focused on those components necessary for the conversion of wind energy to mechanical energy, although the general characteristics and critical aspects of other components are also considered. The four phases of this program are: (1) Establishment of component specifications and interface requirements for major system components; (2) formulation of alternative sets of conceptual designs for major system components; (3) engineering analysis of various components and systems; and (4) re-examination of basic concept and identification of any desirable follow-up work.
Reliability of InGaAs/InP long-wavelength p-i-n photodiodes passivated with polyimide thin film (1986)

The long-term reliability of InGaAs/InP p-i-n photodiodes passivated with polyimide thin film was studied through a room temperature life test and through thermally accelerated life tests. No degradation in dark current was observed in a room temperature life test at a reverse bias of -15 V after aging for 7000 h. However, the dark current increased gradually in the accelerated life tests at 110°C, 130°C, and 150°C. It was confirmed that the activation energy of degradation in dark current was 0.85 eV and the average lifetime was estimated to be 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">7</sup> h at room temperature. The dark current recovered in high temperature storage tests. The phenomenon of degradation and recovery was qualitatively explained by a model of accumulation and diffusion of mobile ions at a junction perimeter.

Determination of diode parameters and threshold current from I-V measurements of InGaAsP/InP DFB DH lasers (1990)

An accurate, temperature-dependent model has been developed for the DC I-V characteristic of an InP-based double heterojunction (DH) laser by parameter extraction using the ideal diode equation model. The parameters of the ideal diode equation can then be used to determine junction quality and reproducibility. The change in device parasitic resistance has been measured and its temperature dependence found. A relationship between threshold current and ideality factor is proposed. The deviation between the measured and modeled I-V characteristic can be used to determine threshold current accurately, independently of optical measurements.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Management of chronic pain in whiplash injury (2002)

We investigated the response of chronic neck and shoulder pain to decompression of the carpal tunnel in 38 patients with whiplash injury. We also determined the plasma levels of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which are inflammatory peptides that sensitise nociceptors. Compared with normal control subjects, the mean concentrations of SP (220 v 28 ng/l; p < 0.0001) and CGRP (400 v 85 ng/l; p < 0.0005) were high in patients with chronic shoulder and neck pain before surgery. After operation their levels fell to normal. There was resolution of neurological symptoms with improvement of pain in 90% of patients. Only two of the 30 with chronic neck and shoulder pain who had been treated conservatively showed improvement when followed up at two years. In spite of having neuropathic pain arising from the median nerve, all these patients had normal electromyographic and nerve-conduction studies. Chronic pain in whiplash injury may be caused by ‘atypical’ carpal tunnel syndrome and responds favourably to surgery which is indicated in patients with neck, shoulder and arm pain but not in those with mild symptoms in the hand. Previously, the presence of persistent neurological symptoms has been accepted as a sign of a poor outcome after a whiplash injury, but our study suggests that it may be possible to treat chronic pain by carpal tunnel decompression.
