Cultural Imagining of the Cold War: An Introduction (2020)

china perspectives T he year 1989 has been commonly accepted as the time when the Cold War officially ended, epitomised by the worldwide broadcasting of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9. Since then, political scientists and historians have provided the world with a wealth of knowledge of what went on during the Cold War: the intricate intertwining of proxy wars, espionage, diplomatic manoeuvring, and propaganda campaigns across the globe. The Cold War may have been declared a closed chapter of history, but much of the cultural play throughout those years and around the globe still requires scholarly exploration and examination. Existing scholarship on the Cold War privileges diplomatic, military, and political history due in large part to the type of primary sources on which scholars draw. This Cold War discourse has produced a historical perception of the second half of the twentieth century as a polarised world dominated by political and ideological bifurcation of the Capitalist Western bloc, led by the US-UK alliance, and the Communist Eastern bloc, led by the Soviet Union, with the newly established People's Republic of China (PRC) being one of the largest nation-members of this coalition. But the world in reality did not experience the Cold War in such a neatly divided fashion. As Heonik Kwon aptly points out in The Other Cold War, to the European and North American nations, the Cold War era meant "a 'long peace'," whereas "for many new post-colonial nations elsewhere, the onset of the Cold War meant entering an epoch of 'unbridled reality' characterized by vicious civil wars and other exceptional forms of political violence" (Kwon 2010: 6). While Kwon's main argument centres on challenging the general consensus of the end of the Cold War as having a definitive historical marker, how the Cold War was experienced by ordinary people in their everyday lives in varying societies across the globe also deserves to be investigated. As our understanding of the Cold War expands and becomes more nuanced, so will our perception of the socialist China led by Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communist Party.

Using animated icons to present complex tasks (1997)

An experiment was conducted to compare the recognition accuracy for static and animated buttons. Static and animated buttons were designed for 28 computer tasks. The tasks were categorized into low, medium, and high levels of complexity. Subjects identified the correct tasks of the animated buttons (78.6%) more often than for the static buttons (64.3%). The data were also analyzed for the number of correct responses for each task. Recognition accuracy were higher for the animated buttons (79.1%) than for the static buttons (69.7%). Further analyses indicate that animated buttons are particularly useful for representing high complexity tasks to the user. Of the nine high complexity tasks, six were found to have a higher animated mean than static mean, and a significant difference between the recognition rates for the animated and static versions of the task.
[Bioelectric profiles and nutritional status in pregnancy: protocol of a multicentric project to measure bioimpedance in pregnancy]. (1996)

This paper re-examines the criteria underlying weight increases suggested during pregnancy. The distinction is introduced between increase in the lean and fat masses in the evaluation of the total weight increase, in order to assess the real mother's needs and work out a correct diet. Since one of the main adjustment mechanisms by the increase of the circulating mass and, more in general, the increase of water in the extracellular compartment, authors propose to use impedance measurements to longitudinally monitor the changes in the mother's lean mass during pregnancy and at the moment of delivery. The operational protocol of a multicentric project is presented, which aims at thoroughly analyzing the characterization of the mother's lean mass and its possible changes during pregnancy by means of bioimpedance measurements. A sample of 800 pregnant women will undergo bioimpedance measurements, 400 of which longitudinally during the whole pregnancy and 400 immediately before and after delivery. This study will also propose food frequency questionnaires in order to better define the nutritional status of pregnant women; moreover, sideremia, transferrin and ferritin values will be collected to assess any iron deficiencies in the studied population.
Autooxidized Polyunsaturated Oils/Oily Acids: Post‐it Applications and Reactions with Fe(III) and Adhesion Properties (2008)

Abstract Soybean oil, sesame oil, linoleic acid and linolenic acid were epoxidized, peroxidized and hydroperoxidized via autooxidation under air oxygen and sunlight at room temperature to obtain novel post‐it materials. Polymeric soybean oil peroxide and sesame oil peroxide were containing soluble part of 60%(w/w) together with crosslinked part of 40%(w/w) while polymeric linoleic and polymeric linolenic acids were completely soluble. The autooxidized soluble products with Mn varying between 800 and 3100 Daltons were used as post‐it adhesive. The highest adhesion was observed in the case of polymeric soybean oil (3.0 Newton), while adhesion of commercial epoxidized soybean oil, polymeric linoleic and polymeric linolenic acid were 0.8, 0.5 and 0.5 Newton, respectively. Reactions of the autooxidized soluble products with Fe(NO 3 ) 3 . 4H 2 O in the presence of ethanol, glycerol and diethyleneglycol gave the hydroxy functionalized products with the same M n values and indicating no adhesive properties. When the commercial epoxidized soybean oil was reacted with Fe(NO 3 ) 3 . 4H 2 O in the presence of the alcohols, Mn of the hydroxy functionalized polymeric oil was found to be unchanged. 1 H NMR, FT‐IR, SEM and GPC techniques were used in the characterization of the products obtained.
<title>Wavelength-dependent radiometric modeling for an active geosynchronous satellite imaging system</title> (2000)

Recent interest in imaging satellites in geo-synchronous earth orbit has led to the design of a ground-based active imaging system using a concept known as Fourier Telescopy. Fourier Telescopy systems use active laser illumination, aperture synthesis, and extensive computer processing to minimize atmospheric turbulence effects and form high-resolution images of distant stationary objects. Three laser transmitters of slightly different frequency illuminate the object with varying baseline separations to temporally encode object spatial frequency information in the energy backscattered from the object. Detection and demodulation of the temporal signals and processing using phase closure and wavefront reconstruction techniques yield measurements of the object's incoherent Fourier amplitude and phase distribution. We have developed a detailed wave optics simulation to analyze and optimize the performance of this system. Wavelength dependent renderings of 3-D satellite models and the statistical variations of object illumination determine the radiometric returns received for a given scenario and the effect on imaging system performance. This work uses the simulation to examine system performance for three different illumination laser wavelengths and for realistic system design limitations. System design trade-offs based on the wavelength dependence of satellite optical cross-section, atmospheric propagation, and diffraction are discussed. Our results indicate that a near infra-red (IR) wavelength may be most suitable for this system.
Protected Lithium‐Metal Anodes in Batteries: From Liquid to Solid (2017)

High‐energy lithium‐metal batteries are among the most promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage systems. With a high specific capacity and a low reduction potential, the Li‐metal anode has attracted extensive interest for decades. Dendritic Li formation, uncontrolled interfacial reactions, and huge volume effect are major hurdles to the commercial application of Li‐metal anodes. Recent studies have shown that the performance and safety of Li‐metal anodes can be significantly improved via organic electrolyte modification, Li‐metal interface protection, Li‐electrode framework design, separator coating, and so on. Superior to the liquid electrolytes, solid‐state electrolytes are considered able to inhibit problematic Li dendrites and build safe solid Li‐metal batteries. Inspired by the bright prospects of solid Li‐metal batteries, increasing efforts have been devoted to overcoming the obstacles of solid Li‐metal batteries, such as low ionic conductivity of the electrolyte and Li–electrolyte interfacial problems. Here, the approaches to protect Li‐metal anodes from liquid batteries to solid‐state batteries are outlined and analyzed in detail. Perspectives regarding the strategies for developing Li‐metal anodes are discussed to facilitate the practical application of Li‐metal batteries.
Universality of NBTI - From devices to circuits and products (2014)

This paper showcases the universality of NBTI and its dependencies on time, bias, temperature, AC frequency and pulse duty cycle across different process integration schemes used in the industry and technology nodes. Strong correlation has been established between device, circuit, and product degradation. Different aspects of variability and variable NBTI in small area devices have been discussed. Features that are important from an industrial perspective are highlighted. Any NBTI model should address these aspects to be considered relevant.
The Proteolysis of Trypsin Inhibitors in Legume Seeds (1988)

The seeds of plants often contain large amounts of proteins, which are subjected to extensive proteolytic processing during seed development and subsequent germination. One class of legume seed proteins, the Bowman-Birk-type trypsin inhibitors, has proved especially useful as a subject in studying these events. Sequence studies of the trypsin inhibitors from a number of legume species suggest that many of the inhibitors undergo a limited shortening at the amino terminus during seed development. However, during germination, the inhibitors appear to function as storage proteins. As such, they are subjected to extensive proteolysis, ultimately leading to their destruction. This degradative process has been studied extensively in the mung bean (Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek). Proteolysis of the mung bean trypsin inhibitor involves, at least initially, an ordered sequence of limited proteolytic cleavages. The two proteases involved in the initial phases of this degradation have been identified and partially characterized.
Statistical simulation of symmetric multiprocessor systems (2003)

Statistical simulation is driven by a stream of randomly generated instructions, based on statistics collected during a single detailed simulation. This method can give accurate performance estimates within minutes, allowing a large design space to be simulated quickly. Prior work has applied this technique to superscalar processors. We evaluate the extension of statistical simulation to symmetric multiprocessing systems. Key program parameters are identified and program statistics are collected during detailed simulations for both multiprogrammed workloads (SpecInt) and parallel scientific workload (Splash-2). The accuracy of statistical simulation is evaluated at different levels of model detail, and it is shown that for multiprogrammed workloads a 10% average error can be achieved, and for parallel benchmark programs 15% average error can be achieved.
Real World Experiments of Autonomus Mobile Robot Smart Dump (2012)

Smart Dump has been developed to complete the mission of Real World Robot Challenge, or Tsukuba Challenge. The challenge requires robots to travel autonomously in pedestrian environment for 1[km] or more distance without any help of human operators. It is even prohibited to modify the environment for the robots. This paper reviews three-time participation to the challenge, especially unexpected results due to the real world.
The crystal and molecular structure of 2-methylhexahelicene (1973)

The crystal structure of 2-methylhexahelicene, C27Ht8, which is isomorphous with that of 2-bromohexahelicene, has been refined with diffractometer data. Crystals grown from the racemic mixture are optically pure and have orthorhombic symmetry. The space group is P2t2121, with a= 17.561, b= 13.285, and c=7.733 A; Z=4. Refinement was carried out by full-matrix least-squares and converged to an R value (on Fo) of 0.045. The hexahelicene nucleus has an approximate twofold axis normal to the helix axis. A number of unusually short C-C bonds are found around the periphery of the helix, while those in the helix core are lengthened, a pattern found in other fused aromatic molecules. The overall average bond length is 1.41 + 0-02 ~. The medial rings are significantly distorted into a boat conformation, and the interplanar angle between the terminal rings is 54.8 °. Short intramolecular non-bonded contacts are found in the helix core, about 3 A for carbon-carbon interactions and 2.5/~, for carbon-hydrogen interactions. The molecule shows rigid-body libration about the helix axis.
Dual-mode type algorithms for blind equalization (1994)

Adaptive channel equalization accomplished without resorting to a training sequence is known as blind equalization. The Godard algorithm and the generalized Sato algorithm are two widely referenced algorithms for blind equalization of a QAM system. These algorithms exhibit very slow convergence rates when compared to algorithms employed in conventional data-aided equalization schemes. In order to speed up the convergence process, these algorithms may be switched over to a decision-directed equalization scheme once the error level is reasonably low. The authors present a scheme which is capable of operating in two modes: blind equalization mode and a mode similar to the decision-directed equalization mode. In this proposed scheme, the dominant mode of operation changes from the blind equalization mode at higher error levels to the mode similar to the decision-directed equalization mode at lower error levels. Manual switch-over to the decision-directed mode from the blind equalization mode, or vice-versa, is not necessary since transitions between the two modes take place smoothly and automatically.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease: Biochemical Analysis of Isolated Myelin (Electron-Microscopy;Protein, Lipid and Unsubstituted Fatty Acids Analysis) (1978)

Analysis of myelin from a leukodystrophic brain was performed (Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, classical type). Myelin recovery was 7% of normal, when isolated by ultracentrifugation. Electron microscopy showed a great amount of loose lamellae, with less thick sheaths and periodicity close to normal. This myelin contains fewer lipids than normal, sphingolipids and plasmalogens being reduced. FAtty acids from phospholipids are essentially normal, however enols from plasmalogens are largely reduced. Purified sphingolipids (cerebrosides, sulfatides and sphingomyelin) present a considerable diminution in very long chain fatty acids; the ratio of very long chain fatty acids (over C18) on shorter chains is 1% of the normal value for saturated fatty acids and 2% for the monounsaturated homologues. Protein analysis showed that basic protein and proteolipids were reduced, Wolfgram proteins being relatively increased.

Mapping of the interaction domain of the protein kinase CKII beta subunit with target proteins. (2001)

Protein kinase CKII is composed of two catalytic (alpha or alpha') subunits and two regulatory (beta) subunits. The CKIIbeta subunit is thought to mediate the tetramer formation and interact with other target proteins. Previously we have shown that CKIIbeta interacts with ribosomal proteins L5 and L41, DNA topoisomerase IIbeta, and SAG/CKBBP1. In this study, the two-hybrid system was used to define the subregions of CKIIbeta that are involved in the interaction with L5, L41, topoisomerase IIbeta, SAG/CKBBP1, and unknown proteins, CKBBP2 and CKBBP3. The results indicated that the region between residues 1 and 167 of CKIIbeta is common binding site for L5, topoisomerase IIbeta, SAG/CKBBP1, and L41. The region between amino acids 19 and 167 of CKIIbeta is sufficient for the interaction with CKBBP3. The region between residues 67 and 130 of CKIIbeta is a minimal fragment that is required for interaction with CKBBP2. Overlay experiments showed that the region between residues 1 and 167 of CKIIbeta interacts with L5, L41, and SAG/CKBBP1 in vitro. These results suggest that the binding sites of CKIIbeta for these target proteins are not located within a small linear sequence stretch, but rather are created by a three-dimensional structure.

Pencil and paper tests‐sensitivity to psychotropic drugs. (1984)

The literature on pencil and paper tests and the effects of psychotropic drugs is reviewed. Performance at digit symbol substitution, symbol copying, letter cancellation, arithmetic, logic and cognitive processing with a relatively constant level of triazolam was compared with placebo. Analysis of variance, covariance analysis and principal component analysis were applied to the data. Pencil and paper tests which measure various skills are useful for detecting drug effects. Letter cancellation, arithmetic and DSST appear to be most sensitive, although logic and symbol copying may be useful.
The Role of GM1 and Other Gangliosides in Neuronal Differentiation Overview and New Findings<sup>a</sup> (1998)

The pronounced increases in gangliosides belonging to the gangliotetraose family during the neurite outgrowth phase of neuronal differentiation have suggested a functional requirement for these substances related to process extension, arborization, and possibly synaptogenesis. Support for this hypothesis has come from a variety of experimental paradigms utilizing neuroblastoma cell lines, primary neuronal cultures, and observations on the developing nervous system. We have recently observed that differentiation of both primary neurons and neuroblastoma cells by Ca(2+)-elevating stimulants is characterized by upregulation of GM1 in the nuclear membrane. Immunostaining revealed these Ca(2+)-induced neurites to have axonal characteristics. Recent work has indicated that nuclear GM1 facilitates efflux of nuclear Ca2+, thereby contributing to the reduced level of nuclear Ca2+ that characterizes the differentiated neuron. Thus, while GM1 is generally recognized as a pluripotent molecule with several modulatory roles in the plasma membrane of developing and mature neurons, regulation of Ca2+ flux across the nuclear membrane is proposed as another critical function of this ganglioside in neuronal development, with special relevance to axonogenesis.
EMG feedback therapy: review of treatment of 114 patients. (1976)

Advances in the understanding of the relationship of proprioceptive (kinesthetic) feedback to motor physiology have prompted the study of therapeutic effects of audiovisual displays of EMG activity. Patients with various manifestations of disturbed neuromotor control were studied prospectively for three years. This group included 114 patients with hemiparesis, torticollis, dystonia, and spinal cord or peripheral nerve injury. Initially, all but one of these patients had some residual volitional motor activity, which was insufficient for adequate function, and all patients had had conventional therapy with little or no functional recovery. Prior to EMG feedback therapy, the duration of illness was from three months to 35 years. The shaping of a patient's motor responses usually occurred gradually, often over an 8 to 12 week period. This modification was accomplished by feeding processed audio-visual signals back to the patient. These signals were proportional to the degree of activity of the muscles responsible for the defective function. The concept of microvolt-second, as a unit of muscle activity, is introduced and defined. Patterned movements, which were previously defective were observed to improve to varying degrees. Following the initial course of treatment, reinforcement was required by some patients. The mechanisms of improvement after EMG feeback therapy are not well understood; however, some hypotheses are presented. The results of this study indicate that EMG feedback therapy may induce significant functional recovery in patients with disturbed neuromotor control.
