Multi-model prediction for image set compression (2013)

The key task in image set compression is how to efficiently remove set redundancy among images and within a single image. In this paper, we propose the first multi-model prediction (MoP) method for image set compression to significantly reduce inter image redundancy. Unlike the previous prediction methods, our MoP enhances the correlation between images using feature-based geometric multi-model fitting. Based on estimated geometric models, multiple deformed prediction images are generated to reduce geometric distortions in different image regions. The block-based adaptive motion compensation is then adopted to further eliminate local variances. Experimental results demonstrate the advantage of our approach, especially for images with complicated scenes and geometric relationships.

Latency management in storage systems (2000)

Storage Latency Estimation Descriptors, or SLEDs, are an API that allow applications to understand and take advantage of the dynamic state of a storage system. By accessing data in the file system cache or high-speed storage first, total I/O workloads can be reduced and performance improved. SLEDs report estimated data latency, allowing users, system utilities, and scripts to make file access decisions based on those retrieval time estimates. SLEDs thus can be used to improve individual application performance, reduce system workloads, and improve the user experience with more predictable behavior.We have modified the Linux 2.2 kernel to support SLEDs, and several Unix utilities and astronomical applications have been modified to use them. As a result, execution times of the Unix utilities when data file sizes exceed the size of the file system buffer cache have been reduced from 50% up to more than an order of magnitude. The astronomical applications incurred 30-50% fewer page faults and reductions in execution time of 10-35%. Performance of applications which use SLEDs also degrade more gracefully as data file size grows.

A liquid-based gravity-driven etching-stop technique and its application to wafer level cantilever thickness control of AFM probes (2005)

This paper mainly describes a liquid based gravity driven etching stop technique used for cantilever thickness control of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes on the wafer level. The technique makes use of the method of opposite etching trenches or the depth rulers. A pair of opposite trenches surrounds several AFM probes on both sides of the wafer to form probe chips. The trench depth on the cantilever front side is equal to the designed thickness of cantilevers. In the final step of the fabrication process for AFM probes, the wafer is etched by the KOH etchant to form the probe handles. The probe chips will be separated from the wafer simultaneously with the penetration of wafers at the trenches. The separated probes fall into the diiodomethane (CH/sub 2/I/sub 2/) solution beneath the KOH etchant and the wet etching stops automatically. The cantilever thickness of the AFM probes can then be wafer level controlled by the proposed etching stop technique.
HIV infection/AIDS (2005)

This chapter focuses on the oral problems faced by patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Oral infections can help determine the presence of HIV infection, the development of AIDS, the progression of HIV infection or AIDS, the failure of antiretroviral therapy, and the failure of antimicrobial therapy. Before discussing the specific oral problems that are common with patients with HIV and AIDs, the present chapter provides an overview of the HIV and AIDS disease, its epidemiology, aetiology, and the clinical features of oral lesions prevalent in patients afflicted with such disease. The chapter also discusses the management procedures necessary for maintaining oral health and for preventing the progression of oral problems in HIV and AIDS patients.
Placement of trust anchors in embedded computer systems (2011)

The use of Trust Anchors in a well designed embedded system can help create more secure designs. Trust Anchors can be used to establish, extend, and maintain trust during power-up and run-time operation of a system. A system may contain one or more trust anchors working isolated or in a coordinated manner within the system. Embedded computer systems may be subject to network and physical attacks and so the use of trust anchors may help protect the system from these attacks. By evaluating potential attacks the placement and functionality of trusted hardware and software in the system may be defined to help mitigate the attacks. This paper uses several different attacks on an embedded computer as examples to describe the placement of trust anchors, hardware and software protection mechanisms, and other functionality needed to protect the system against these attacks.
Sufficiency of the Reactive Site Loop of Maspin for Induction of Cell-Matrix Adhesion and Inhibition of Cell Invasion (2003)

Maspin, an ov-serpin, inhibits tumor invasion and induces cell adhesion to extracellular matrix molecules. Here, we use maspin/ovalbumin chimeric proteins and the maspin reactive site loop (RSL) peptide to characterize the role of the RSL in maspin-mediated functions. Replacement of the RSL plus the C-terminal region or the RSL alone of maspin with that of ovalbumin resulted in the loss of the stimulatory effect on adhesion of corneal stromal cells to type I collagen, fibronectin, and laminin and of mammary carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells to fibronectin. Maspin with ovalbumin as the C-terminal region retained activity, suggesting the maspin C-terminal polypeptide is not required. An R340Q mutant retained full maspin activity; however, an R340A mutant lost activity. This indicates the arginine side chain at the putative P1 site forms a hydrogen bond and not an ionic bond. The RSL peptide (P10-P5', amino acids 330-345) alone induced cell-matrix adhesion of mammary carcinoma cells and corneal stromal cells and inhibited invasion of the carcinoma cells. Substitution of the RSL of ovalbumin with that of maspin converted inactive ovalbumin into a fully active molecule. Maspin bound specifically to the surface of the mammary carcinoma cells with a kd of 367 +/- 67 nM and 32.0 +/- 2.2 x 10(6) binding sites/cell. The maspin RSL peptide inhibited binding, suggesting the RSL is involved in maspin binding to cells. Sufficiency of the maspin RSL for activity suggests the mechanism by which maspin regulates cell-matrix adhesion and tumor cell invasion does not involve the serpin mechanism of protease inhibition.
Physiological Roles for G Protein-Regulated Adenylyl Cyclase Isoforms: Insights from Knockout and Overexpression Studies (2008)

Cyclic AMP is a universal second messenger, produced by a family of adenylyl cyclase (AC) enzymes. The last three decades have brought a wealth of new information about the regulation of cyclic AMP production by ACs. Nine hormone-sensitive, membrane-bound AC isoforms have been identified in addition to a tenth isoform that lacks membrane spans and more closely resembles the cyanobacterial AC enzymes. New model systems for purifying and characterizing the catalytic domains of AC have led to the crystal structure of these domains and the mapping of numerous interaction sites. However, big hurdles remain in unraveling the roles of individual AC isoforms and their regulation in physiological systems. In this review we explore the latest on AC knockout and overexpression studies to better understand the roles of G protein regulation of ACs in the brain, olfactory bulb, and heart.
A low-complexity computation scheme of discrete cosine transform and quantization with adaptation to block contents (2000)

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity computation scheme of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and quantization, which is adaptive to block contents of image frames. With consideration of maintaining the quality of the decoded image and reducing the computational complexity, we take a closer look at the relationship between block contents and the quantization table. Based on this relationship to predict the number of DCT coefficients required for calculation, we develop an adaptive scheme to update the DCT calculation structure. Comparing our scheme in deriving DCT coefficients with that of DCT calculation for a fixed number of coefficients. Our scheme can compromise image qualities with computational complexities. In other words, the proposed scheme could adjust the DCT calculation complexity depending on the image contents. The image quality from our scheme is comparable to that of a complete 64-coefficient DCT calculation process. Therefore, our proposed scheme to calculate DCT and quantization, with abilities to reduce the computational complexity and preserve the picture quality, is suitable and applicable in video and image compression used nowadays.
산류(Acids)의 인화점과 최소자연발화온도의 신뢰성 고찰 (2009)

The flash point and the AIT(auto-ignition temperature) are the most important combustible properties used to determine the potential for the fire and explosion hazards of flammable material. In order to know the accuracy of data in MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet), the flash point of n-acids were measured by using Pensky-Martens closed cup tester(ASTM D93), Setaflash closed cup tester(ASTM D3278), Tag open cup tester(ASTM D1310) and Cleveland open cup tester(ASTM D92). Also, the AIT of n-acids were measured by using ASTM E659-78 tester. The measured the flash points and the AIT were compared with literatures and MSDS in KOSHA. The measured the flash points and the AIT were different from those in literatures and MSDS. Therefore, This paper shows that it is needed to investigate the MSDS compatibility of n-acids for the fire safety objectives.

A murine model with aspects of clinical relevance for the study of antibiotic-induced endotoxin release in septic hosts (1996)

A murine model which utilizes a burn to increase susceptibility to sepsis is presented. The model is inexpensive, highly reproducible, versatile, easy to use, and clinically relevant to many aspects of a Gram-negative sepsis which develops over time from a localized focus of infection. Additionally, studies of LPS-intoxication in mice with the same burn indicate that the animals show increased sensitivity to endotoxin without having to be exposed to exogenous sensitizing chemicals. Hence, this burned mouse model of sepsis might provide a sensitive, clinically relevant model for the study of antibiotic-induced endotoxin release from Gram-negative bacteria in septic hosts.
Composition-dependent trap distributions in CdSe and InP quantum dots probed using photoluminescence blinking dynamics (2016)

Although Group II-VI quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to their wide range of applications in QD-based devices, the presence of toxic ions in II-VI QDs raises environmental concerns. To fulfill the demands of nontoxic QDs, synthetic routes for III-V QDs have been developed. However, only a few comparative analyses on optical properties of III-V QDs have been performed. In this study, the composition-related energetic trap distributions have been explored by using three different types of core/multishell QDs: CdSe-CdS (CdSe/CdS/ZnS), InP-ZnSe (InP/ZnSe/ZnS), and InP-GaP (InP/GaP/ZnS). It was shown that CdSe-CdS QDs have much larger trap densities than InP-shell QDs at higher energy states (at least 1Eg (band gap energy) above the lowest conduction band edge) based on probability density plots and Auger ionization efficiencies which are determined by analyses of photoluminescence blinking dynamics. This result suggests that the composition of encapsulated QDs is closely associated with the charge trapping processes, and also provides an insight into the development of more environmentally friendly QD-based devices.

Trophic effects of potassium loading on the rat zona glomerulosa: permissive role of ACTH and angiotensin II (1985)

The trophic effects of chronic potassium loading on the rat zona glomerulosa were investigated by morphometric and radioimmunological methods. Potassium loading exerted a potent adrenoglomerulotrophic effect in saline treated control rats, but it was not able to reverse the captopril- and dexamethasone-induced atrophy of the zona glomerulosa. However, if the captopril/dexamethasone administered rats were given maintenance doses of angiotensin II and ACTH, potassium loading was found to exert a strong trophic action. The hypothesis is advanced that potassium loading requires the integrity of both the renin-angiotensin system and the hypothalamo-hypophyseal axis to exert its powerful direct stimulating effect on the growth and steroidogenic capacity of the rat zona glomerulosa.

Solid-Phase Radioimmunoassay for IgG Antibodies to Staphylococcus epidermidis (1987)

A radioimmunoassay (RIA) for human IgG antibodies to Staphylococcus epidermidis was compared with an agar-gel-diffusion assay in patients with a variety of infections. The RIA was sensitive and reproducible and discriminated between endocarditis and uncomplicated bacteremias due to coagulase-negative staphylococci. Anti-S epidermidis antibodies by RIA were elevated in 16 (89%) of 18 patients with coagulase-negative staphylococcal endocarditis but in none of 28 patients with uncomplicated bacteremia (n = 18) or with blood culture contaminated with these organisms (n = 10). Cross-reacting IgG antibodies to S epidermidis antigens were also detected by RIA in 13 (76%) of 17 patients with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis but in none of 17 patients with nonvalvular S aureus bacteremias and in none of 25 patients with endocarditis or bacteremia caused by other pathogens. Agar-gel-diffusion assay was less sensitive than RIA for detecting coagulase-negative staphylococcal endocarditis, being positive in nine (50%) of 18 such patients. This RIA may be useful in distinguishing patients with endocarditis from those with nonvalvular staphylococcemias or blood culture contamination.
Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (2011)

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is an epidemic that reaches all parts of the world. Making the diagnosis relies on the acumen of the clinician and pathologist. Various pathologic subtypes exist and differ in histology and prognosis. High-risk tumors need aggressive treatment and vigilant surveillance to monitor for recurrence. Large tumors, deep tissue invasion, perineural involvement, recurrence, location in high-risk areas, and immunosuppression are implicated in worsening prognosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment with adjuvant radiation therapy as needed for aggressive tumors; however, other modalities are potentially useful for low-risk lesions. The use of Mohs surgery has become increasingly useful and has shown high success rates. Involvement of parotid and neck lymph nodes significantly affects outcomes and the physician should be comfortable with management of this complex disease. This paper examines the diagnosis, pathology, clinical course, and treatment options for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Enhancement of low voltage ride-through capability for wind turbine driven DFIG with active crowbar and battery energy storage system (2010)

This paper proposes a combined protection and control strategy to enhance the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Since the conventional crowbar is activated to protect the rotor side converter during the fault interval, the DFIG will operate in the fix speed mode and absorb large amount of reactive power from the grid. This problem can be improved by using a hysteresis control scheme for the crowbar protection to minimize its operation time. Furthermore, considering the voltage ripple in the DC link side under fault condition, a battery energy storage system (BESS) connected to the DC bus is controlled to attenuate the DC voltage ripple via absorbing the redundant power stored in the DC link capacitor. Simulation results show the effectiveness of this combined protection and control strategy.

The author presents details of the instructions and data types provided by the 88110's graphics unit. She also gives several graphics processing examples using both floating point and graphics instructions to achieve high performance. She points out that the 88110 combines sustained high performance general processor, graphics support, and floating point performance together on one chip. The graphics unit is flexible in supporting floating point, fixed point, and packed pixels. Pixel packing and unpacking are supported for manipulation of color intensity data types and packed pixel data types. A compare instruction can perform two Z-buffer compares in parallel. Pixel multiply is supported for compositing images together. A pixel rotate and all the other bit field instructions supported by the 88000 architecture provide a powerful means of manipulating data. The 88110 also maintains high bus bandwidth and has on chip multiprocessor support. All of these features combined make the 88110 well suited for central processing and graphics processing. This can eliminate the need for a secondary processor in a graphics system.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
