Algorithms for Point Set Congruence (1993)

The primary purpose of the project supported by this grant was to expand research in point matching, by applying the perturbation technique and the approximate algorithm paradigm to more complex problem formulations. During the tenure of the grant the investigator has successfully worked towards this goal. The main results of this research are contained in the paper 'Generalized approximate algorithms for point set congruence'. This paper is still undergoing revisions, and a copy of the most recent draft is included in this report. The paper introduces a device called the (e, k)-map, which is a more general measure of point set congruence than the one previously examined by the investigator. The paper discusses ways to construct the (e, k)-map. While the investigator's previous work was limited to equal cardinality, planar point sets, this current work has expanded attention both to Point sets of unequal cardinality and to point sets in higher dimensions. The investigator has even begun the study of projective congruence, in which one compares a 2-dimensional image with the family of projections of a 3-dimensional model.....

Functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with polyesters via bergman cyclization and “grafting from” strategy (2010)

Abstract In this work, pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were functionalized by utilizing the free radicals generated through Bergman cyclization of enediyne containing compounds 3 . Polyesters were subsequently grafted from the surface of MWNTs through ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone or lactide initiated by free hydroxy groups generated after hydrolysis of ester groups. Functionalized MWNTs were characterized with a variety of techniques, including TGA, NMR, IR, UV–vis, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. After surface modification, MWNTs showed good solubility in common organic solvents and polymer solutions. Fabrication of MWNTs polymer nanocomposites was revealed through electrospinning with polycaprolactone. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010
A novel and efficient synthesis of selenides (2012)

Under nitrogen atmosphere, a simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of symmetrical selenides has been developed by the reaction of aryl or alkyl halides with magnesium (1.5 equiv) and elemental selenium (1.0 equiv) in the absence of catalyst and ligand in THF and toluene under reflux at 86C. This protocol has been utilized for the synthesis of a variety of symmetrical selenides in good to excellent yields.
Studies on the effects of radiation on microorganisms. (3) (1959)

In the present paper, the writer reported the result of investigations on the influence of light upon the conidial germination of Cochliobolus miyabeanus.The lethal effect of a sun lamp was far inferior to that of a germicidal lamp, because the former scarcely includes the effective wave length for sterilization, 2537Å.A sudden increase of the sensitivity of conidia to ultraviolet light was observed, when the conidia were suspended in water. The reason is not yet clear.In the present experiment, the writer estimated the germicidal effect of ultraviolet light by determining the percentage of conidial germination. In view of occurrence of delayed germination, the germination percentage was determined at least 24 hours after the irradiation.Difference in the sensitivity of conidia to ultraviolet light was found among the isolates of C. miyabeanus, the isolate No. 58 being more sensitive than the isolate No. 13.
Research on Human-Computer Interaction Mode of Speech Recognition Based on Environment Elements of Command and Control System (2019)

Speech interaction belongs to the category of human-computer interaction, which is one of the new interactive methods developed rapidly in recent years. Since the 1990s, speech recognition and interactive systems such as IBM ViaVoice, Apple Siri, Apple Watch and Google Glass have appeared successively. Speech recognition is characterized by flexibility, multi-channel coordination, sensitivity and temporality. There are many factors that affect the accuracy of speech interaction recognition. In the command and control system, environmental noise (dB), human noise (dB), speech speed (word/minute) and frequency (word/minute) are the four key factors that affect the accuracy of speech recognition, but few people carry out relevant researches. This experiment mainly studies the influence of the above four factors on speech recognition and sets several experimental levels. The experimental results show that both human noise and environmental noise have significant effects on speech recognition control. Within the range of normal speed, speed has little effect on speech recognition. Under the condition of complex environmental noise, the recognition rate of the high-frequency speech signal is higher than that of the low-frequency speech signal. Human noise has a great influence on text information input. The experimental results can provide data support for the design of the command and control system.
SmartArgos: Improving mobile surveillance systems with software defined networks (2015)

Mobile surveillance systems like vehicle mounted cameras (i.e. police dash cams) and body cameras play an important role in securing physical spaces. However, these systems can generate too much data that hampers timely analysis. Furthermore, existing infrastructure wireless networks may not have sufficient bandwidth to support real time streaming of videos to backend servers. This paper presents the design of SmartArgos, a control framework to regulate mobile surveillance systems. SmartArgos uses software defined networks and computer vision algorithms to manage multiple mobile surveillance streams. Our experiments indicate that SmartArgos makes video streaming efficient and saves bandwidth compared to traditional video uploading from multiple clients.
Cobalt-Catalyzed Hydrofluorination of Unactivated Olefins: A Radical Approach of Fluorine Transfer (2013)

Catalytic hydrofluorination of olefins using a cobalt catalyst was developed. The exclusive Markovnikov selectivity, functional group tolerance, and scalability of this reaction make it an attractive protocol for the hydrofluorination of olefins. A preliminary mechanistic experiment showed the involvement of a radical intermediate.
A high-quality mixed-size analytical placer considering preplaced blocks and density constraints (2006)

In addition to wirelength, modern placers need to consider various constraints such as preplaced blocks and density. We propose a high-quality analytical placement algorithm considering wirelength, preplaced blocks, and density based on the log-sum-exp wirelength model proposed by Naylor et al. [20] and the multilevel framework. To handle preplaced blocks, we use a two-stage smoothing technique, Gaussian smoothing followed by level smoothing, to facilitate block spreading during global placement. The density is controlled by white-space re-allocation using partitioning and cut-line shifting during global placement and cell sliding during detailed placement. We further use the conjugate gradient method with dynamic step-size control to speed up the global placement and macro shifting to and better macro positions. Experimental results show that our placer obtains the best published results.

An intelligent tutor for diagnostic problem solving in complex dynamic systems (2003)

An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is discussed that helps to organize system knowledge and operational information, including symptom-cause relationships, to enhance operator performance. The ITS incorporates the structure, function and behavior of the controlled system in an appropriate form that achieves cognitive compatibility with the operators. In addition, the ITS contains a normative task model that provides it with the ability to infer the trainee's misconceptions. The example system considered is an intelligent tutor to be used for training operators to troubleshoot large dynamic systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Effects of NH/sub 3/ plasma passivation on N-channel polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (1997)

The NH/sub 3/-plasma passivation has been performed on polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFT's), It is found that the TFT's after the NH/sub 3/-plasma passivation achieve better device performance, including the off-current below 0.1 pA//spl mu/m and the on/off current ratio higher than 10/sup 8/, and also better hot-carrier reliability than the H/sub 2/-plasma devices. Based on optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) analysis, these improvements were attributed to not only the hydrogen passivation of the defect states, but also the nitrogen pile-up at SiO/sub 2//poly-Si interface and the strong Si-N bond formation to terminate the dangling bonds at the grain boundaries of the polysilicon films. Furthermore, the gate-oxide leakage current significantly decreases and the oxide breakdown voltage slightly increases after applying NH/sub 3/-plasma treatment. This novel process is of potential use for the fabrication of TFT/LCD's and TFT/SRAM's.
AAA: a modeling language for software production environments (1992)

If a software production environment wants to reap the benefits of reuse on an organizational level, it must itself be designed to optimize each resouce's access to reusable material and to efficiently implement a reuse-centered software development process. One approach to such redesign, the Experience Factory, divides the environment between the resources involved in reuse activities and the resources involved in current projects. There are many variations on the Experience Factory theme, based on the widely varying characteristics and needs of different environments. The Reference Architecture is used as a model for describing these variations in more detail. Besides explaining the Experience Factory and Reference Architecture models, this paper focuses on AAA, a process modeling language enhancement for modeling the configuration of resources, or the organization, of a software production environment. AAA is based on, and is meant to formalize, the Reference Architecture. The need for an organizational modeling methodology arises from research in incremental organizational design, organizational simulation, and experience packaging. As well as describing the syntax, semantics, and motivation of AAA, this paper also describes, at a high level, the AAA execution environment, which allows the modeler to analyze and modify a AAA model, to simulate projects executed by a modeled architecture, and to control processes currently executing in a modeled architecture. The last section of this paper presents a case study that illustrates some of the issues that arise in modeling organizations and demonstrates the modeling power of AAA.
Positively charged lysine at the N‐terminus of the signal peptide of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> alkaline phosphatase provides the secretion efficiency and is involved in the interaction with anionic phospholipids (1997)

Positively charged amino acid residues at the N-terminus of the signal peptide (SP) have been proposed to play a significant role in the initial step of protein secretion in bacteria. To test this hypothesis, Lys(-20) of the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase SP was replaced by other amino acid residues, and the effect of these substitutions on protein maturation was studied. The introduction of negatively charged and hydrophobic amino acids resulted in a decrease in secretion efficiency and impaired the SP-APL interaction, whereas His and Tyr had no significant effect. A structural analysis of the SP-APL interaction suggests that the positively charged Lys(-20) determines the stability of the complex.

MOISTURE DETERMINATION IN SINGLE SOYBEAN SEEDS BY NEAR-INFRARED TRANSMITTANCE (1991)

ABSTRACT A calibration set of 140 soybeans from seven different varieties, ranging in moisture from 5 to 22%, wet basis, was used to calibrate a spectrophotometer for predicting moisture of single soybean seeds. Near-infrared absorbance (A) of individual soybean seeds was measured over the spectral region from 800 to 1100 nm by 0.5 nm increments. The axis of the soybean seed parallel to the incident light beam was measured as an estimate of optical pathlength. Three mathematical techniques were used to develop calibration equations: linear correlation with a difference in absorbance (AA), stepwise multiple linear regression (MLR), and partial least squares (PLS). A validation set contained 100 soybeans from 5 different varieties, ranging in moisture from 5 to 20%, wet basis. The standard error of prediction (SEP) for equations using absorbance data only was 0.88% for AA, 0.82% for MLR, and 0.81% for PLS. The SEP for equations using pathlength and absorbance data was 0.73% for AA, 0.69% for MLR, and 0.65% for PLS.
DNA binding sites: representation and discovery (2000)

The purpose of this article is to provide a brief history of the development and application of computer algorithms for the analysis and prediction of DNA binding sites. This problem can be conveniently divided into two subproblems. The first is, given a collection of known binding sites, develop a representation of those sites that can be used to search new sequences and reliably predict where additional binding sites occur. The second is, given a set of sequences known to contain binding sites for a common factor, but not knowing where the sites are, discover the location of the sites in each sequence and a representation for the specificity of the protein.
ReviewMiner (2017)

We develop an aspect-based sentiment analysis system named ReviewMiner. It analyzes opinions expressed about an entity in an online review at the level of topical aspects to discover each individual reviewer's latent opinion on each aspect as well as his/her relative emphasis on different aspects when forming the overall judgment of the entity. The system personalizes the retrieved results according to users' input preferences over the identified aspects, recommends similar items based on the detailed aspect-level opinions, and summarizes aspect-level opinions in textual, temporal and spatial dimensions. The unique multi-modal opinion summarization and visualization mechanisms provide users with rich perspectives to digest information from user-generated opinionated content for making informed decisions.
Systems-on-a-chip: the case of the disappearing modem (2002)

The movement toward using the system CPU to perform functions previously assigned to secondary chips is a superb example of the increasing momentum towards system on a chip. Once system designers understand the design issues, host signal processing promises to unlock the power in today's advanced processors, and provide increased efficiency, flexibility and cost-saving.
On the feasibility of tilt test outcome early prediction using ECG and pressure parameters (2011)

The tilt test is a valuable clinical tool for vasovagal syncope (VVS) diagnostic, and its early prediction from simple ECG and blood pressure-based parameters has widely been studied in the literature. However, no practical system is currently used in the clinical setting for the early prediction of the tilt test outcome. The objectives of this study were (1) to benchmark the early prediction performance of all the previously proposed parameters, when nonlinearly combined; (2) to try to improve this performance with the inclusion of additional information and processing techniques. We analyzed a database of 727 consecutive cases of tilt test. Previously proposed features were measured from heart rate and systolic/diastolic pressure tachograms, in several representative signal segments. We aimed to improve the prediction performance: first, using new nonlinear features (detrended fluctuation analysis and sample entropy); second, using a multivariable nonlinear classifier (support vector machine); and finally, including additional physiological signals (stroke volume). The predictive performance of the nonlinearly combined previously proposed features was limited [area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) 0.57 ± 0.12], especially at the beginning of the test, which is the most clinically relevant period. The improvement with additional available physiological information was limited too. We conclude that the use of a system for tilt test outcome prediction with current knowledge and processing should be considered with caution, and that further effort has to be devoted to understand the mechanisms of VVS.
Vardenafil, but not sildenafil or tadalafil, has calcium‐channel blocking activity in rabbit isolated pulmonary artery and human washed platelets (2008)

Our results indicate that vardenafil, in contrast to sildenafil or tadalafil, also blocked Ca2+ fluxes, thus enhancing its vasorelaxation of the pulmonary artery.
Effect of Process Conditions on Temperature Distribution in the Powder Bed during Laser Sintering of Polyamide-12 (2015)

A sintered part‟s mechanical properties are often variable dependent on the temperature at which it was sintered. Prior research has investigated how predefined process conditions (such as scan speed and laser power) in the „Sinter‟ software affect built parts (Majewski &amp; Hopkinson, 2011), however, little work focuses on other process temperature distribution in the bed relative to these parts. These conditions are not always controllable in the „Sinter‟ software. By replacing the scanner at the top of the Sinterstation 2000 with a thermal imaging camera, an insight into the temperature distribution on the part bed was obtained. A temperature variance of up to 7°C was found across the bed, as well as a large temperature drop and recovery period on powder layer recoat. This paper explores the possible causes of this variation in the processing of DuraForm™ Polyamide-12 powder by monitoring and assessing build operations, enabled by replacing the front viewing window with a retro-fitted thermal imaging camera. The part bed was observed and various process conditions analyzed including powder recoat, part and feed heaters, and swing gate configuration. On powder recoat, the part bed exhibited a drop in temperature because the fresh layer of powder is at a lower temperature than the powder already present in the part bed. The part bed temperature drop lessens with raised feed bed temperatures however there are

Hydraulic Conductivity of Vertical Cutoff Walls (1994)

Vertical cutoff walls have been used to control the movement of contaminants and contaminated groundwater since the remediation of contaminated sites began. There are, however, significant hydraulic conductivity differences between soil-bentonite, cement-bentonite, plastic concrete, and in situ mixed cutoff walls. The results of laboratory and field studies were assessed to show the influence of material properties, confining stress, permeameter type, water table position, and state of stress, on the hydraulic conductivity of vertical cutoffs. The results of these studies show the range of hydraulic conductivity expected for each of the cutoff wall types. Increasing confining stress markedly decreases the hydraulic conductivity of soil-bentonite and has a measurable but reduced impact on stronger backfill materials. Studies on soil-bentonite cutoff walls show that the stress at depth is less than predicted using the effective weight of the overlying materials. This reduction in stress is a result of soil-bentonite materials “hanging-up” on the side walls of the trench. Thus, applying the effective stress calculated from the effective weight of the overlying backfill overestimates the stress to be used in the laboratory tests and results in unconservative measures of hydraulic conductivity. Field data also reveals that, with time, the hydraulic conductivity of soil-bentonite above the water table may increase substantially. Further, the hydraulic conductivity does not significantly decrease upon re-saturation.
Intensity Pattern of Snoring Sounds as a Predictor for Sleep-Disordered Breathing (1997)

The relationship between a new operational definition of sleep sounds and apnea was examined in a population of 69 patients referred for overnight evaluations in a sleep disorders center. The sample contained 18 women (mean age 53.6 years) and 51 men (mean age 48.4 years). Subjects underwent polysomnography (PSG) with concurrent graphical recording of sleep sound intensities throughout the night. An acoustical signature event (ASE) was defined as a loud sound preceded by at least 10 but no more than 90 seconds of silence. Multiple regression was performed using known correlates of apnea and ASE to predict PSG levels of respiratory disturbance. Of the commonly known correlates, only self-reported estimate of snoring and apnea severity explained significant variance to the respiratory disturbance index (RDI; R2 = 0.24, p < 0.0001). ASE was entered into the equation as the last step, significantly improving explained variance (R2delta = 0.54, p < 0.0001). The final equation R2 was 78% (p < 0.0001). An alternative analysis compared ASE findings to polysomnographic findings in each matched 30-second interval (60,231 observations) in an analysis of receiver's operating characteristics. This analysis resulted in d' = 2.67, indicating acceptable accuracy for screening.
