Mobile Privacy-Preserving Crowdsourced Data Collection in the Smart City (2016)

Smart cities rely on dynamic and real-time data to enable smart urban applications such as intelligent transport and epidemics detection. However, the streaming of big data from IoT devices, especially from mobile platforms like pedestrians and cars, raises significant privacy concerns. Future autonomous vehicles will generate, collect and consume significant volumes of data to be utilized in delivering safe and efficient transportation solutions. The sensed data will, inherently, contain personally identifiable and attributable information - both external (other vehicles, environmental) and internal (driver, passengers, devices). The autonomous vehicles are connected to the infrastructure cloud (e.g., Amazon), the edge cloud, and also the mobile cloud (vehicle to vehicle). Clearly these different entities must co-operate and interoperate in a timely fashion when routing and transferring the highly dynamic data. In order to maximise the availability and utility of the sensed data, stakeholders must have confidence that the data they transmit, receive, aggregate and reason on is appropriately secured and protected throughout. There are many different metaphors for providing end-to-end security for data exchanges, but they commonly require a management and control sidechannel. This work proposes a scalable smart city privacy-preserving architecture named Authorized Analytics that enables each node (e.g. vehicle) to divulge (contextually) local privatised data. Authorized Analytics is shown to scale gracefully to IoT scope deployments.
Off-pump transapical mitral valve-in-ring implantation (2012)

Off-pump transapical mitral valve-in-ring implantation is safe and feasible. Transapical access may represent the ideal option for valve-in-ring procedures in cases of recurrent mitral regurgitation after mitral valve repair, in high-risk patients. Owing to the supra-annular profile of the valve components, our custom-made nitinol stent valve provides nearer to normal functional area than the SAPIEN valve.

Prenatal diagnosis in a female carrying a deletion close to the duchenne locus (1988)

Family studies including the proband are usually needed before a prenatal diagnosis may be performed for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We report here on prenatal diagnosis in a family where the solitary index case was dead, and where the consultand and her mother were assumed to be carriers by independent evidence. DNA analysis revealed that both the consultand and her mother had an X chromosome deleted for DNA material in the Xp21 region. The female fetus also carried the deleted X chromosome.
GLADE (2012)

In this paper we introduce GLADE, a scalable distributed framework for large scale data analytics. GLADE consists of a simple user-interface to define Generalized Linear Aggregates (GLA), the fundamental abstraction at the core of GLADE, and a distributed runtime environment that executes GLAs by using parallelism extensively. GLAs are derived from User-Defined Aggregates (UDA), a relational database extension that allows the user to add specialized aggregates to be executed inside the query processor. GLAs extend the UDA interface with methods to Serialize/Deserialize the state of the aggregate required for distributed computation. As a significant departure from UDAs which can be invoked only through SQL, GLAs give the user direct access to the state of the aggregate, thus allowing for the computation of significantly more complex aggregate functions. GLADE runtime is an execution engine optimized for the GLA computation. The runtime takes the user-defined GLA code, compiles it inside the engine, and executes it right near the data by taking advantage of parallelism both inside a single machine as well as across a cluster of computers. This results in maximum possible execution time performance (all our experimental tasks are I/O-bound) and linear scaleup.
Kuru with incubation periods exceeding two decades (1982)

The clinical characteristics of kuru in 15 patients are described. All the patients had a history of joint pains preceding difficulty walking. The severity of the neurological dysfunction varied from mild truncal and limb ataxia necessitating the use of a stick for walking to terminal illness accompanied by marked ataxia, rigidity, spasticity, and dementia. All the patients with kuru in this study had a apprehensive, frightened facial expression. Most of the patients examined showed diminished or absent optokinetic nystagmus bilaterally. Apprehensive facies and diminished optokinetic nystagmus have not previously been described in kuru. The other clinical features of the current patients with kuru are similar to those recorded twenty years ago. Epidemiological surveillance, anamnesis, and missionary reports strongly suggest that all the patients described in this study were exposed to the kuru agent more than two decades ago through ritualistic cannibalism. Thus the incubation period or time interval from exposure to the onset of clinical illness exceeds two decades, while the duration of illness is two years or less. The cause of these extraordinarily long incubation periods is unknown but may result in part from exposure to small doses of the kuru agent through an inefficient oral route.
Reduced Expression of Thrombospondins and Craniofacial Dysmorphism in Mice Overexpressing Fra1 (2006)

These data suggest that reduced expression of thrombospondins in Fra1 Tg mice underlies craniofacial dysmorphism, independent of osteosclerosis.
Structure of dimethyl 2-[o-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)anilino]-3-methoxymaleate (1993)

In the title compound the pyrazole and benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 64.5 (1) o . Neither ring deviates significantly from planarity. There is an intramolecular hydrogen bond between atom N12 and atom O23 [N12...O23 2.682 (4) A, N12-H12...O23 102.9 (2) o ]; all other bond distances and angles are within the expected ranges
Large‐scale photovoltaic plant harmonic transmission model and analysis on resonance characteristics (2015)

Harmonics generated from large‐scale grid‐connected photovoltaic plant (GCPV) has the characteristics of high frequency and wide frequency range. So the adverse impact of distributed parameter of high‐voltage cables becomes more significant. Based on an actual GCPV, harmonic output particularities were discussed according to its operating mechanism. Step‐up transformer, reactive power compensation device, distributed capacitance of transmission line and the loads were considered, the passive multiport network model was established, and the transmission mechanism of harmonics in this network was analysed by the definition of resonance amplification factors. Double resonance curves of harmonic current were discovered, that is, the transmission line of different distance may amplify a harmonic current twice. The simulation and data measurement in the field were carried out based on a large‐scale GCPV in Qinghai province. The proposed scheme was verified by the comparison of simulation data and measurements.

Pyroglutamylated RFamide Peptide 43 Stimulates the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis via Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone in Rats (2008)

Although it is established that other members of the RFamide family stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, the influence of the novel pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide 43 (QRFP43) is not known. We show intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of QRFP43 (2 nmol) to male rats increased plasma LH and FSH levels at 40 min after injection. icv administration of 3 nmol QRFP43 did not affect food intake in ad-libitum-fed male rats. The icv administration of 2 nmol QRFP43 did not significantly influence behavior in male rats. Intraperitoneal administration of doses up to 1200 nmol/kg QRFP43 in male rats did not significantly influence circulating gonadotropin or sex steroid levels. In vitro, QRFP43 stimulated GnRH release from hypothalamic explants from male rats and from GT1-7 cells. Pretreatment with a GnRH receptor antagonist, cetrorelix, blocked the increase in plasma LH levels after icv administration of QRFP43 (2 nmol). These results suggest that icv QRFP43 activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis via GnRH.
Cyclic AMP--an intracellular second messenger for interleukin 1. (1988)

We demonstrated that interleukin 1 (IL-1), a potent peptide mediator in immune and inflammatory responses, stimulates the synthesis of cAMP in a variety of IL-1-responsive cell targets. We also showed that cAMP analogs and cAMP-inducing agents can replace IL-1 in the induction of interleukin 2 receptors on lymphocytes as well as in phytohemagglutinin-induced murine thymocyte proliferation. By use of IL-1 and the cAMP-inducer, forskolin, a direct correlation between the induced level of cAMP and the degree of lymphocyte interleukin 2 receptor expression or thymocyte proliferation was established. Our results indicate that cAMP may be an important intracellular second messenger for IL-1.
Magnetostrictive and magnetic effects in Fe-27%Co laminations (2017)

The present paper deals with the characterization of the magnetostriction of the Fe-27%Co alloy. When this alloy is annealed in the ferritic domain (between 700°C and 940°C) and submitted to a slow cooling, it exhibits a low and isotropic magnetostriction over a wide induction range (±1.5T). One reason that can explain this phenomenon is a high temperature selection of magnetic bi-domains preferentially oriented in the rolling plane. As soon as this material is annealed in the austenitic domain or quenched from the ferritic domain, the low and isotropic magnetostriction disappears giving way to a classical quadratic magnetostrictive behavior.
Comparative genomics of downy mildews reveals potential adaptations to biotrophy (2018)

We present a high-quality draft genome of Peronospora effusa that will serve as a reference for Peronospora spp. We identified several Pfam domains as under-represented in the downy mildews consistent with the loss of zoosporegenesis and necrotrophy. Phylogenomics provides further support for a polyphyletic origin of downy mildews.
<title>Model validation and improved determination of chromophore concentrations in quantitative tissue spectrophotometry</title> (1997)

Improved models based on Kubelka-Munk theory, as well as improved algorithms, for the quantification of chromophore concentrations in tissues based on optical multi-wavelength measurements, recorded in the visible range, are presented. The usefulness of principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for model validation is investigated and proven by many examples. It is shown how PCA is able to detect the number of independent components with variable contribution. A subsequent CCA points out these components, which should be included in the model function. Furthermore, three different methods for estimating the model parameters are presented: a nonlinear least squares (NLLS) algorithm, an ordinary least squares (LS) algorithm and a mixed LS-total least squares algorithm wLS-TLS with appropriate weights. The wLS-TLS algorithm offers the best compromise since it is almost as efficient as ordinary LS and almost as accurate as NLLS fitting.
From raw data to data-analysis for magnetic resonance spectroscopy – the missing link: jMRUI2XML (2015)

jMRUI2XML provides a self-contained and self-descriptive format accounting for the most relevant information needed for exchanging magnetic resonance spectroscopy data in digital form, as well as for automating its processing. This allows for tracking the procedures the data has undergone, which makes the proposed tool especially useful when performing pattern recognition analysis. Moreover, this work constitutes a first proposal for a minimum amount of information that should accompany any magnetic resonance processed spectrum, towards the goal of achieving better transferability of magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies.
Application of nanocrystalline soft magnetic Fe–M–B (M=Zr, Nb) alloys to choke coils (1998)

We have developed a choke coil made of new nanocrystalline soft magnetic Fe–M–B (M=Zr, Nb) alloys (“NANOPERM™ ” material) which exhibit high saturation magnetic induction (Bs), above 1.5 T, excellent soft magnetic properties and zero magnetostriction. A choke coil made of NANOPERM™ material exhibits good dc bias characteristics of inductance because of the high Bs. Furthermore, the choke coil made from NANOPERM™ material showed 1/3rd the temperature rise shown by a core made from Fe–Si–B amorphous alloy. The low core loss and high Bs of NANOPERM™ material allow the reduction of the core size. It is concluded that NANOPERM™ is suitable as a core material for choke coils.

A WEBACCESSIBLE WORKFLOW SYSTEM FOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE MONITORING (2006)

With the advent of novel and low cost sensing modalities (including diverse autonomous and automated geophysical systems) the concept of the instrumented earth is increasingly becoming a reality. While the specific application, stakeholders and instrumentation differ for each site, the general goal of instrumenting the earth is to obtain information on system performance. In order to achieve this in an effective manner, we need to both deal with the vast amounts of data generated by diverse sensing modalities (which requires addressing challenges such as sensor calibration, data management, data qa/qc) and develop tools which use this data to generate and deliver information on system performance to multiple stakeholders with broad diversity in technical expertise. We describe both a design and several implementations of a webaccessible scientific workflow system focused on performance monitoring for a broad range of instrumented earth scenarios. This system integrates data acquisition from a diverse range of datasources (both ones implemented by the laboratory and ones which are publicly accesible, such as weatherstation data and river gages), data storage in relational databases, and data analysis. Data analysis is done both on demand and automatically through rich, dynamically created web interfaces. In addition to providing graphical datasource selectors these interfaces provide access to workflow configurators which let users execute both simple and complex data analysis through a back end high performance computational cluster. This approach has been successfully implemented for both small lab experiments and medium site field sites, and can easily be scaled up. We will discuss our general approach as well as give examples of an implementation of our system for the Gilt Edge Mine Superfund site.
Optimal Admission Control of Secondary Users in Preemptive Cognitive Radio Networks (2012)

Abstract—We study optimal admission control of secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio (CR) networks in presence of preemption. In this model, when a primary user (PU) arrives to the system and finds all the channels busy, it preempts an SU unless all the users in the system are PUs. We apply admission control on the SUs only. Using dynamic programming (DP), we find the optimal admission control policy that maximizes the long-run average profit. As our main contribution, we show that the optimal admission control of the SUs depends only on the total number of users in the system (i.e. it does not depend on the number of PUs and SUs in the system individually) and is of threshold type. Therefore, although the system is modeled as a two-dimensional Markov chain, our findings allow simple and efficient computa-tion of the optimal control policy. I.
Improving outcomes after autologous transplantation in relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma: a European expert perspective (2020)

Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a well-established approach to treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) recommended by both the European Society for Medical Oncology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network based on the results from randomized controlled studies. However, a considerable number of patients who receive ASCT will progress/relapse and display suboptimal post-transplant outcomes. Over recent years, a number of different strategies have been assessed to improve post-ASCT outcomes and augment HL cure rates. These include use of pre- and post-ASCT salvage therapies and post-ASCT consolidative therapy, with the greatest benefits demonstrated by targeted therapies, such as brentuximab vedotin. However, adoption of these new approaches has been inconsistent across different centers and regions. In this article, we provide a European perspective on the available treatment options and likely future developments in the salvage and consolidation settings, with the aim to improve management of patients with HL who have a high risk of post-ASCT failure. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that early intervention with post-ASCT consolidation improves outcomes in patients with R/R HL who require ASCT. Future approvals of targeted agents are expected to further improve outcomes and provide additional treatment options in the coming age of personalized medicine.
A kinetic study on extraction and transformation phenomena of phenolic compounds during red wine fermentation (2010)

Summary The aim of this work was both to model the kinetics of the extraction and transformation of phenolic compounds during fermentation and to propose an index to compare fermentation procedures. Six lots of Sangiovese grapes from five vineyards were used for red wine fermentation tests on lab and industrial scale during 2005 and 2006 vintages. Total phenol index, colour parameters, anthocyanin and pigmented polymer contents were measured during fermentations as variables related to phenolics. Microvinifications performed during vintage 2005 were used to model the evolution of total phenol index at 280 nm, malvidine content, colour parameter a* and pigmented polymer content during fermentation. Vinifications performed during vintage 2006 were used to validate the models. A specific adimensional number, called equivalent index, was set up to specify the operating conditions of red wine fermentation being a function of the extraction and transformation phenomena of phenolic compounds.
Dynamic light-scattering study of a diluted polymer blend near its critical point (1993)

The critical dynamics of a moderately-high-molecular-weight polymer blend of polystyrene and polybutadiene diluted in dioctyl phthalate is studied near the consolute point by dynamic light scattering. Fast and slow modes are observed as in previous experiments on a low-molecular-weight binary-polymer-blend melt. The light-scattering data are consistent with a Fisher renormalization of the correlation-length exponent.
