An Analysis of Stream processing Languages (2009)

Stream processing languages and stream processing engines have become more popular as they emerged from several modern data stream intensive applications such as sensor monitoring, stock markets and network monitoring. This study discusses the characteristics and features of the stream processing technology to provide an in-depth high-level guidance and comparison for stream processing systems and its underlying languages and technology with respect to the characteristics and features used by certain applications. The overall aim of this paper is to analyze and to identify the desired features of stream processing languages and to evaluate a few representative stream processing systems and languages on the basis of those desired features. The analysis could help in the identification of a suitable stream processing technology for particular applications as well as aiding the design and development of such languages for new, emerging applications.
SIP: Basics and Beyond (2007)

Chances are you’re already using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). It is one of the key innovations driving the current evolution of communications systems. Its first major use has been signaling in Internet telephony. Large carriers have been using SIP inside their networks for interconnect and trunking across long distances for several years. If you’ve made a long-distance call, part of that call probably used SIP.

Modern Homing Missile Guidance Theory and Techniques (2010)

Classically derived homing guidance laws, such as proportional navigation, can be highly effective when the homing missile has significantly more maneuver capability than the threat. As threats become more capable, however, higher performance is required from the missile guidance law to achieve intercept. To address this challenge, most modern guidance laws are derived using linear-quadratic optimal control theory to obtain analytic feedback solutions. Generally, optimal control strategies use a cost function to explicitly optimize the missile performance criteria. In addition, it is typical for these guidance laws to employ more sophisticated models of the target and missile maneuver capability in an effort to improve overall performance. In this article, we will present a review of optimal control theory and derive a number of optimal guidance laws of increasing complexity. We also will explore the advantages that such guidance laws have over proportional navigation when engaging more stressing threats.
Outcome Prediction in Acute Stroke Patients Considered for Endovascular Treatment: A Novel Tool (2014)

Functional outcome following emergent intra-arterial thrombectomy is variable and likely reflects the heterogeneous characteristics of acute stroke patients. The aims of our study were (1) to study which pre-treatment variables correlate with functional outcome and (2) to devise a tool which would reliably predict outcome. Prospective data of patients treated with intra-arterial mechanical thrombectomy in our institution between 2010 and 2012 were collected. A preliminary univariate analysis of baseline variables was performed and data outliers were identified by constructing scatter and box plots. Systematic bivariate analysis was then carried out using a linear regression model and the individual contributing weights of the variables to outcome calculated. The B and constant values from the regression were used to construct a predictive formula. Fifty-seven patients, 35 males (61.4%) and 22 females (38.6%) with a mean age of 62.3 years (range 26-87) were included in the cohort. Statistical correlations of baseline variables and functional outcome showed that age, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at presentation and CT leptomeningeal collaterals were strongly correlated (p<0.01), and were later included in the linear regression model. A tool was devised from the regression formula combining weighted inputs of the three variables. Regression statistics and residual analysis were then performed to assess the accuracy and reliability of the proposed tool. The proposed tool is easy to use and reliably predicts functional outcome prior to endovascular therapy. It may help clinical decision-making in the acute setting and offers 'tailor-made' outcome expectations.
The Dynamic Traffic Information Collection and Processing Methods of ITS Common Information Platform Based on Floating Car Technology (2008)

Urban traffic situation information is the basis of effective traffic guidance and traffic control. In order to promote communication and practical applications of traffic information, then can provide full, accurate, real time and sufficient traffic information service to public, government and correlative enterprises, in this paper, the authors proposed the dynamic traffic information collection and processing methods of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) common information platform (CIP) based on floating car technology. According to the characteristics of the ITS CIP data collection, they were required large scale, accurate and dynamic data collecting. A complete set of dynamic traffic information processing methods based on floating car technology were studied, including road data storage by two queues, error data elimination by taximeter, map matching by region dividing method and boundary rectangle, and traffic condition calculation by circle queues and A* algorithm. The application of the methods in the ITS CIP of Guangzhou City proved that the methods were quite effective and valuable to be popularized.
CacheZoom: How SGX Amplifies The Power of Cache Attacks (2017)

In modern computing environments, hardware resources are commonly shared, and parallel computation is widely used. Parallel tasks can cause privacy and security problems if proper isolation is not enforced. Intel proposed SGX to create a trusted execution environment within the processor. SGX relies on the hardware, and claims runtime protection even if the OS and other software components are malicious. However, SGX disregards side-channel attacks. We introduce a powerful cache side-channel attack that provides system adversaries a high resolution channel. Our attack tool named CacheZoom is able to virtually track all memory accesses of SGX enclaves with high spatial and temporal precision. As proof of concept, we demonstrate AES key recovery attacks on commonly used implementations including those that were believed to be resistant in previous scenarios. Our results show that SGX cannot protect critical data sensitive computations, and efficient AES key recovery is possible in a practical environment. In contrast to previous works which require hundreds of measurements, this is the first cache side-channel attack on a real system that can recover AES keys with a minimal number of measurements. We can successfully recover AES keys from T-Table based implementations with as few as ten measurements.
Effects of Temperature and Steeping Time on the Proximate Compositions and Selected Physical Properties of Soybean Flour (2020)

A study to investigate the effect of temperature (80, 85, 90, 95, and 100oC) and steeping time (12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 hours) on the proximate composition (ash, crude fibre, fat , protein, and carbohydrate) values (%) and physical properties (bulk density, packed density (g/ml), angle of repose (degrees), and particle size (μm)) on soybean flour was conducted. Response surface Methodology (RSM) was used for the work. Central Composite Design in Design Expert (version 6.0, 2002, Minneapolis, United States) computer software package was used to design the experiment. Analysis was also done and all results were presented with a three dimensional plot. The results showed that the moisture content of the soybeans flour ranged from 3.26 – 7.35, 3.40 – 4.50 for ash, 3.15 – 4.82 for crude fibre, 31.32 – 35.21 for protein, 19.37 – 22.65 for fat, and 29.66 – 35.19% for carbohydrate. Angle of repose for soybeans flour samples ranged from 33.15 – 38.16o, bulk density varied between 0.30-0.36, packed density varied between 0.52 – 0.57g/ml and particle size distribution varied between 0.44 – .98μm for the different samples. It was observed that longer steeping time and drying temperature resulted to an increase in the protein content and decrease in crude fibre content. Conversely shorter steeping time and lower drying temperature resulted in an increase in the fat content. A nine-point hedonic scale on sensory and acceptability tests showed that sample soaked for 24 hours and dried at 90oC was most preferred in taste and overall acceptability. Keywords: Soybean flour; packed density; angle of repose; steeping time, temperature.
Los presupuestos generales de estado para 2007 (2007)

Aunque en Espana los Presupuestos Generales del Estado abarcan un ambito limitado dentro las Administraciones Publicas,1 tienen una gran importancia pues constituyen el principal instrumento financiero del gobierno para conseguir sus fines de politica economica. En general, es conveniente analizar los presupuestos desde diferentes perspectivas. Por una parte, es preciso conocer sus efectos globales sobre la economia en su conjunto, en donde los saldos de las operaciones por cuenta de renta y de capital tienen una especial relevancia. Y, por otra parte, es necesario analizar la estructura y composicion del gasto, pues esta es determinante para alcanzar los objetivos basicos del gobierno. Ademas, de los analisis agregados para el conjunto de los presupuestos, puede tener interes estudiar las politicas de gasto que administran, por una parte, el Estado y sus Organismos y, por otra parte, la Seguridad Social. Adicionalmente, es interesante estudiar tambien otros aspectos relacionados con los presupuestos, como es el de los cambios introducidos a su paso por el Congreso de los Diputados y el Senado. En particular, en este trabajo se describiran y analizaran los presupuestos generales del Estado aprobados para 2007. En el segundo apartado, se expondran los objetivos de politica economica y presupuestaria establecidos en los presupuestos generales del Estado. En tercer lugar, se analizaran de forma agregada las principales magnitudes de los presupuestos generales del Estado. En cuarto lugar, se estudiaran por separado las politicas de gasto de cada uno de los dos grandes agregados de los Presupuestos del Estado y sus Organismos, excluyendo las politicas de gasto canalizadas a traves de la Seguridad Social. Y, finalmente, se expondran unas conclusiones sobre presupuestos generales del Estado para el 2007.
Harnessing the immune system to improve cancer therapy (2016)

Cancer immunotherapy uses the immune system and its components to mount an anti-tumor response. During the last decade, it has evolved from a promising therapy option to a robust clinical reality. Many immunotherapeutic modalities are already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating cancer patients and many others are in the pipeline for approval as standalone or combinatorial therapeutic interventions, several also combined with standard treatments in clinical studies. The two main axes of cancer immunotherapeutics refer to passive and active treatments. Prominent examples of passive immunotherapy include administration of monoclonal antibodies and cytokines and adoptive cell transfer of ex vivo “educated” immune cells. Active immunotherapy refers, among others, to anti-cancer vaccines [peptide, dendritic cell (DC)-based and allogeneic whole cell vaccines], immune checkpoint inhibitors and oncolytic viruses, whereas new approaches that can further enhance anti-cancer immune responses are also widely explored. Herein, we present the most popular cancer immunotherapy approaches and discuss their clinical relevance referring to data acquired from clinical trials. To date, clinical experience and efficacy suggest that combining more than one immunotherapy interventions, in conjunction with other treatment options like chemotherapy, radiotherapy and targeted or epigenetic therapy, should guide the way to cancer cure.
Making Visible the Proximity Between Proteins (2014)

Genomic DNA is the template of life - the entity which is characterized by a self-sustaining anatomical development, regulated signaling processes, the ability to reproduce and to respond to stimuli. Through what is classically known as the central dogma, the genome is transcribed into mRNA, which in turn is translated into proteins. The proteins take part in most, if not all, cellular processes, and it is by unraveling these processes that we can begin to understand life and disease-causing mechanisms. In vitro and in vivo assays are two levels at which protein communication may be studied, and which permit manipulation and control over the proteins under investigation. But in order to retrieve a representation of the processes as close to reality as possible, in situ analysis may instead be applied as a complement to the other two levels of study. In situ PLA offers the ability to survey protein activity in tissue samples and primary cell lines, at a single cell level, detecting single targets in their natural unperturbed environment. In this thesis new developments of the in situ PLA are described, along with a new technique offering in situ enzyme-free detection of proximity between biomolecules. The dynamic range of in situ PLA has now been increased by several orders of magnitude to cover analogous ranges of protein expression; the output signals have been modified to offer a greater signal-to-noise ratio and to limit false-positive-rates while also extending the dynamic range further; simultaneous detection of multiple protein complexes is now possible; proximity-HCR is presented as a robust and inexpensive enzyme-free assay for protein complex detection. The thesis also covers descriptions on how the techniques may be simultaneously applied, also together with other techniques, for the multiple data-point acquisition required by the emerging realm of systems biology. A future perspective is presented for how much more information may be simultaneously acquired from tissue samples to describe biomolecular interactions in a new manner. This will allow new types of biomarkers and drugs to be discovered, and a new holistic understanding of life.
Translating Dialects in Search: Mapping between Specialized Languages of Discourse and Documentary Languages (2006)

Translating Dialects in Search: Mapping between Specialized Languages of Discourse and Documentary Languages by Vivien Petras Doctor of Philosophy in Information Management and Systems University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael K. Buckland, Chair The biggest problem in searching an information system is to find the appropriate search terms that not only represent the searcher’s information need but also match the language used in the information system. This is a translation problem between a specialized dialect of discourse and the documentary language of the information system. Discourse dialects evolve within specialized communities. They differ from general language and other communities’ dialects in terminology (e.g. terms of art, jargon) and grammar patterns. A documentary language is the language used for document representation in an information system. A bibliographic database and its documentary language usually cover more than one domain of discourse. This dissertation describes a mechanism that will provide a translation aid between specialized languages and the documentary language by suggesting appropriate search terms for a searcher’s query in relation to the searcher’s domain of discourse. With this kind of vocabulary support in the search process, the different specialized vocabularies can be disambiguated within the information system. Different perspectives on a topic can be represented to the searcher (based on the different discourses of the topic in the collection), which will help in navigating and exploring this information space more effectively. The search term recommender system, based on statistical associations between specialized language terms and controlled vocabulary terms, is introduced and its applications for automatic text categorization, query expansion and reformulation, and terminology mapping are described. The search term recommender methodology is tested on three specialties in the Inspec bibliographical database and 33 specialties in the Ohsumed database in a text classification application. It is demonstrated that search term recommender systems are more effective when specialty-based.
A geographical ontology of objects in the visible domain (2005)

This dissertation describes the development of a very large, multi-domain ontology. It addresses the processes involved in developing object-oriented ontological data structures in general and specifically ontological data structures of the geospatial domain. The ontological data structure developed during this research effort—the Visual Objects Taxonomy/Thesaurus (VOTT)—is a compendium of feature classes and concepts within the visual domain that are of interest to geographers, cartographers, geographic information science (GISci) practitioners, geospatial modeling and simulation engineers, and cognitive scientists. This data structure is an object-oriented, knowledge base of geospatial objects in the visual domain—those objects that we see when we look out a picture window; or objects we see when we look out an aircraft window; even those objects that we see when we view an urban setting. The semantic integration process used in this effort was designed to allow the integration of all forms of existing ontological data structures—word-lists, dictionaries, taxonomies, thesauri, and many other forms of ontologies to create a compendium of class concepts. The final products generated during this phase of the research—a broad-based taxonomy and its counterpart thesaurus—provide object-naming consistence for future cartographic, geographic information science, and modeling and simulation production endeavors. An additional by-product of this research effort is a 3-D model library of generic OpenFlight™ models of a representative number of the concepts in the geospatial ontology. These models are in the public domain and are freely distributable.
Flow-cytometric detection of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase and other intracellular antigens in combination with membrane antigens in acute lymphatic leukemias (1988)

Development of a new fixation procedure allowed flow-cytometric analysis of nuclear and other intracellular antigens in acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL). A short fixation of the cells with buffered formaldehyde acetone (BFA) rendered the cell membrane permeable, allowing the monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to penetrate the cell. Through this method, a rapid analysis of intracellular antigens, specific for acute lymphatic leukemia [such as terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), immunoglobulin M (IgM) heavy chain, and antigens recognized by the CD22 or CD3 MoAbs) was performed by flow cytometry. The surface antigens remained intact after this fixation procedure, enabling simultaneous detection of membrane and intracellular antigens. The binding of biotinylated antibodies against several B- and T-lymphoid membrane antigens was detected with streptavidin-phycoerythrin (red fluorescence), whereas the intracellular antigens were stained with FITC-labeled polyclonal antibodies, or indirectly with FITC-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (green fluorescence). Through this combination of markers, minor cell populations can be detected and a rapid and quantitative immunodiagnosis can be performed.
Micropropagation of Granny Smith apple: factors affecting root formation<i>in vitro</i> (1981)

SummaryShoots produced by axillary bud cultures of apple cv Granny Smith, which is difficult to root by standard propagation procedures, were induced to form adventitious roots in vitro. No roots were formed in stationary liquid culture and rooting in agar-based media or with filter paper bridges was low (up to 4%). Up to 80% of cuttings formed roots when grown in continuously agitated liquid culture (half-strength MS) with continuous illumination (10 μE m−2 s−1) and constant temperatures (26° ± 2°C). Exogenous auxin was essential for rooting: IBA at 10 μM and NOA at 10 μM both promoted root formation but 2, 4-D was inhibitory. The optimum sucrose concentration was 1% (w/v). Wounding the cuttings increased root formation. The origin of adventitious roots differed with the auxin applied: with NOA rooting was from cut surfaces and with IBA roots grew both through the epidermis and from cut surfaces.
Treatment of acute pancreatitis with liyi tang--a report of 50 cases. (1997)

Fifty cases of acute pancreatitis (AP) were treated with LIYI TANG (Decoction for AP) as the treatment group, and the other 50 cases of the disease with Western drugs as the control group. The results of one-week clinical observation showed that, in the treatment group, 43 cases were cured, 3 markedly effective, 2 improved and 2 ineffective; while in the control group, 32 cases were cured, 5 markedly effective, 4 improved, and 9 ineffective, showing a statistically significant difference in therapeutic effects between the two groups (P < 0.05).
Fast wavelength switching of a high-speed SG-DBR laser for dynamic wavelength routing (2002)

Propagating Calothamnus in Canberra (2011)

The cultivation history of the genus Calothamnus (commonly called 'One-sided Botlebrushes' or 'Netbushes') in Canberra, which are endemic to the southwest corner of Western Australia and grow in hard, dry, hot, lighter, alkaline soil is discussed. The propagation methods of Calothamnus, whereby plants have to be grown from cuttings as soon as variants appear, are described.
Direct overwriting and super resolution using exchange-coupled magnetic multilayer disks (1992)

The spin structure and stable condition for the interface magnetic wall in magnetic multilayers have been investigated. The value of the interface wall energy is optimized on the basis of the calculation for application to overwriting by light intensity modulation and magnetically induced superresolution. Direct overwriting by light intensity modulation is made possible by using magnetic triple layers with a power margin of +or-30%, a linear density of 0.8 mu m/b, and a track pitch of 1.4 mu m. Superresolution by using magnetic quadri-layers enables a linear density of 0.3 mu m/b, which is more than three times higher than the density for current magnetooptical disks.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides with vinyl acetate and acrylonitrile (1997)
