This DOI is not currently attached to any metadata records. DOIs can’t actually ever be deleted (they’re persistent), but sometimes our members create DOIs in error. We do have a process to approximate deletion which we follow only in rare cases where the DOI has been genuinely created in error, and most crucially, if the DOI has never been published anywhere online or in print and never otherwise distributed to or communicated with anyone (authors, readers, reviewers, etc.
Remote probing techniques for inhomogeneous media (1974)

Abstract : A technique is presented for remote probing a stratified medium using a new spectral domain approach which differs from the conventional time-domain technique. Working in the spectral domain has the advantage that the probing can be carried out at a single frequency only; hence, there is no difficulty in dealing with a dispersive medium. (Author)
Quantifying the intra and inter subband correlations in the zerotree-based wavelet image coders (2003)

The basis of compression is redundancy removal. In digital image compression, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to remove the inter-pixel redundancies. Although the DWT is very powerful at removing the linear redundancy, there are still various correlations left in the DWT coefficients. These correlations can be modeled as within-subband clustering(Intra) and cross-subband similarity(Inter). The success of recent wavelet image coders can be mainly attributed to the innovative strategies for data organization and representation that exploit these Inter and Intra correlations one way or the other. In this paper, we try to quantify the performance loss if these correlations are removed. Experiments are performed on two best zero-tree coders: set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) and set partitioned embedded block coder (SPECK). After recapitulate the data organization adopted in SPIHT and SPECK in a more general tree formation framework, a block or coefficient based pseudo-randomization is applied to remove the Inter, Intra correlation. Our experimental results indicate that the performance loss due to the removal of Intra correlation is much bigger than the performance loss due to the removal of Inter correlation. Therefore, the excellent PSNR performance of the well-known SPIHT algorithm should be much credited for the data structure that exploit the Intra correlation although only the Inter correlation is widely mentioned in the previous literature.
Cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of DHNA synthetase from<i>Geobacillus kaustophilus</i> (2007)

The aerobic Gram-positive bacterium Geobacillus kaustophilus is a bacillus species that was isolated from deep-sea sediment from the Mariana Trench. 1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA) synthetase plays a vital role in the biosynthesis of menaquinone (vitamin K(2)) in this bacterium. DHNA synthetase from Geobacillus kaustophilus was crystallized in the orthorhombic space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 77.01, b = 130.66, c = 131.69 A. The crystal diffracted to a resolution of 2.2 A. Preliminary studies and molecular-replacement calculations reveal the presence of three monomers in the asymmetric unit.
Determination of the Primary Structures of Heparin- and Heparan Sulfate-Derived Oligosaccharides Using Band-Selective Homonuclear-Decoupled Two-Dimensional <sup>1</sup>H NMR Experiments (2001)

Band-selective homonuclear-decoupled (BASHD) two-dimensional NMR experiments are applied to the assignment of 1H NMR spectra of oligosaccharides, using as an example a heparin-derived hexasaccharide. The anomeric (H1) region of the 1H NMR spectrum is band-selected in the F1 dimension. With the increased resolution that results from less truncation of interferograms in the t1 dimension, finer digital resolution in the F1 dimension, and collapse of multiplets to singlets in the F1 dimension, cross-peaks to the anomeric protons of the two iduronic acid residues, which overlap in normal two-dimensional total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY) and rotating frame Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (ROESY) spectra of the hexasaccharide, are resolved in BASHD-TOCSY and BASHD-ROESY spectra, leading to an unequivocal assignment of the 1H NMR spectrum of the hexasaccharide. Incorporation of the water attenuation by transverse relaxation method for the complete and selective elimination of the water resonance into two-dimensional BASHD experiments makes it possible to observe oligosaccharide resonances at the frequency of the water resonance, as demonstrated with the observation of cross-peaks to resonances at the frequency of the water resonance in BASHD-TOCSY spectra of a second heparin-derived hexasaccharide.
Distributed Solution of Network Programming Problems (1964)

A method is presented for the solution of network programming problems through the iterative execution of the same algorithm for each station of the network. At a given station, the algorithm requires data only from adjacent stations of the network. The theory of the method is developed through the use of electrical models of network programming problems. The techniques should be useful for the communications message-routing problem and similar cases in which the disadvantages of relying on a computation performed at a master station must be avoided.
Sensor Analysis for a Modular Wearable Finger 3D Motion Tracking System (2018)

Body motion tracking technologies are widespread in military, medical and sport fields. The work proposes a modular wireless wearable system able to detect hand fingers motion. Such system is composed by a readout unit that analyses the data and by a wearable measuring device directly applied on the tracked finger. This device is equipped with an Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) used to track the first phalanx motion and orientation and with a stretch sensor to monitor the bending angle between the first and second phalanxes. We carried out an experimental study, which is divided in two main parts. In the first one, the transducer performance was evaluated, whereas, in the second part, we tested the capability of the overall system to recognize simple finger movements and different objects grabbed. The preliminary results pave the possibility of developing a modular device, one for each hand finger, able to recognize the grabbed object shape or detect complex gestures.
The Pipeline Location Estimation using a Nonlinear Smoother (2006)

This paper presents a method of pipeline location estimation using a nonlinear smoother. To know the location information of underground gas pipeline we used to survey the land. The proposed method is more efficient than conventional method in the sight of time, cost and effort. It is possible to know the pipeline location in unapproachable places like the sea or highway. First, This paper introduces Pipeline Inspection Gauge which consists of inertial measurement unit, odometer and transmitter. From the nonlinear smoother, we can estimate the pipeline location with measurement data of position and velocity. This paper gives the smoothing algorithm and the way to tune the noise covariances Q and R. We also explain the role of landmark concerning trajectory error. Finally this paper shows that the method using the nonlinear smoother has slightly better results than conventional method.
Iterative Resource Allocation for Maximizing Weighted Sum Min-Rate in Downlink Cellular OFDMA Systems (2010)

This paper considers the downlink of a cellular orthogonal frequency division multi-access (OFDMA) system, in which multiple base stations (BSs) are coordinated by a centralized resource allocation algorithm. We address the problem of maximizing the weighted sum of the minimal user rates (WSMR) of coordinated cells subject to a total power constraint at each BS, in terms of jointly optimizing coordinated BSs' subcarrier and power allocation. In particular, the solution of this problem corresponds to a resource allocation that guarantees similar rates to all users in each cell. An iterative algorithm is proposed to optimize the subcarrier allocation and the power allocation alternatively, so that the WSMR keeps increasing until convergence. In each iteration, the subcarrier allocation is updated by solving a mixed integer linear program for each cell, while the power allocation is updated by solving a successive set of convex optimization problems with a duality-based numerical algorithm. The effectiveness of the algorithm is illustrated by numerical experiments.

An Improved Implementation and Abstract Interface for Hybrid (2011)

Hybrid is a formal theory implemented in Isabelle/HOL that provides an interface for representing and reasoning about object languages using higher-order abstract syntax (HOAS). This interface is built around an HOAS variable-binding operator that is constructed definitionally from a de Bruijn index representation. In this paper we make a variety of improvements to Hybrid, culminating in an abstract interface that on one hand makes Hybrid a more mathematically satisfactory theory, and on the other hand has important practical benefits. We start with a modification of Hybrid's type of terms that better hides its implementation in terms of de Bruijn indices, by excluding at the type level terms with dangling indices. We present an improved set of definitions, and a series of new lemmas that provide a complete characterization of Hybrid's primitives in terms of properties stated at the HOAS level. Benefits of this new package include a new proof of adequacy and improvements to reasoning about object logics. Such proofs are carried out at the higher level with no involvement of the lower level de Bruijn syntax.

Identification, characterization, and molecular cloning of a novel transporter‐like protein localized to the central nervous system (1992)

During the course of large scale purification of the D1 dopamine receptor from rat brain, a protein of approximately 87,000 daltons (p87) was observed to copurify with the D1 receptor through four chromatographic steps. To characterize the nature of this protein, bovine and rat cDNA clones were isolated and sequenced. The bovine and rat clones were highly conserved (98.5% identity). Each clone possessed an open reading frame of 2226 base pairs encoding a protein of 742 amino acids (calculated MW of 82,500), containing three stretches of peptide sequence obtained from p87 sequence analysis. Comparison of the deduced peptide sequence of this protein with those found in available databanks revealed that it was a novel protein related to the family of nutrient transport proteins from eukaryotes and bacteria, including, the mammalian facilitated glucose transporters, the yeast transporters for maltose, lactose, and glucose, and the proton-driven bacterial transporters for arabinose, xylose, and citrate. In addition p87 also shares with these transporters a similar hydropathicity profile that suggests the presence of 12 transmembrane segments. The mRNA for p87 appears to be localized primarily, if not exclusively, to the central nervous system. Northern blot analysis reveals a message of approximately 4.8 kb in cortex, hippocampus, brain stem, and cerebellum, but no detectable signal in peripheral tissues such as spleen, liver, kidney, lung, heart, or skeletal muscle. Evidence form Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry suggests that this protein may be expressed in intracellular organelles or the membrane of synaptosomes rather than plasma membrane. Based on its structure and properties, p87 appears to define a new class of transporter-like proteins.
Highly Diastereoselective Conjugate Addition of Aryllithium to Chiral β-Nitrostyrene Derivative: An Application to the Asymmetric Synthesis of 4-Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (2006)

Abstract Highly diastereoselective conjugate addition of aryllithium to β-nitrostyrene derivative, having chiral acetal moiety derived from (S,S)-1,2-bis(1-hydroxypropyl)benzene, was achieved. The adduct was transformed to 4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline in high enantiomeric excess (ee).
Bisection of a Lysine-rich Histone by N-Bromosuccinimide (1969)

Abstract A homogeneous rabbit thymus lysine-rich histone was cleaved between a tyrosine residue and an aspartic acid (or asparagine) residue by N-bromosuccinimide. The carboxyl-terminal portion (molecular weight 15,000) was richer in lysine than the amino-terminal portion (molecular weight 6,000). This enrichment of lysine residues toward the carboxyl-terminal part of the molecule is apparently characteristic of all the subfractions in calf thymus as well as in rabbit thymus lysine-rich histones. Preliminary data suggest that the amino-terminal portion of these molecules is the location of most of the differences in primary structure from one subfraction to another.
Improving traffic scheduling in wireless ATM networks (2002)

The medium access control (MAC) protocol and the underlying traffic scheduling mechanism for the radio interface are critical components of a wireless ATM network, aiming to provide ATM-like quality of service (QoS) guarantees over the air. A traffic scheduling algorithm for a wireless ATM customer premises network is proposed. The algorithm operates in the mobile terminals, and complements a centralized scheduling mechanism operating in the base stations, for improved performance. The proposed algorithm is delay oriented to meet the requirements of the various traffic classes defined by the ATM architecture. The system performance improvement attained by the proposed algorithm is evaluated via simulations.

Alpha characterization of concrete surfaces at Decontamination & Decommissioning (D&D) sites (1995)

Waste minimization and worker protection at D&D sites requires continual and extensive characterization for radioactive contamination. Contamination detectors that are sensitive, rugged, fast, and capable of covering large areas are needed. The concrete surface monitor (CSM) developed at LANL supports both characterization and waste minimization efforts at D&D sites containing large concrete surfaces and structures of different forms and shapes. This report describes the CSM design and the results of several field experiments.
Application of Bounded Linear Stability Analysis Method for Metrics-Driven Adaptive Control (2009)

This paper presents the application of Bounded Linear Stability Analysis (BLSA) method for metrics-driven adaptive control. The bounded linear stability analysis method is used for analyzing stability of adaptive control models, without linearizing the adaptive laws. Metrics-driven adaptive control introduces a notion that adaptation should be driven by some stability metrics to achieve robustness. By the application of bounded linear stability analysis method the adaptive gain is adjusted during the adaptation in order to meet certain phase margin requirements. Analysis of metrics-driven adaptive control is evaluated for a second order system that represents a pitch attitude control of a generic transport aircraft. The analysis shows that the system with the metrics-conforming variable adaptive gain becomes more robust to unmodeled dynamics or time delay. The effect of analysis time-window for BLSA is also evaluated in order to meet the stability margin criteria.
Training sample selection for deep learning of distributed data (2017)

The success of deep learning - in the form of multi-layer neural networks - depends critically on the volume and variety of training data. Its potential is greatly compromised when training data originate in a geographically distributed manner and are subject to bandwidth constraints. This paper presents a data sampling approach to deep learning, by carefully discriminating locally available training samples based on their relative importance. Towards this end, we propose two metrics for prioritizing candidate training samples as functions of their test trial outcome: correctness and confidence. Bandwidth-constrained simulations show significant performance gain of our proposed training sample selection schemes over convention uniform sampling: up to 15× bandwidth reduction for the MNIST dataset and 25% reduction in learning time for the CIFAR-10 dataset.
The cloning and characterization of the human transcobalamin II gene (1995)

Transcobalamin II (TCII) is a plasma protein that binds vitamin B12 (cobalamin; Cbl) and facilitates the cellular uptake of the vitamin by receptor-mediated endocytosis. In genetic disorders that are characterized by congenital deficiency of TCII, intracellular Cbl deficiency occurs, resulting in an early onset of megaloblastic anemia that is sometimes accompanied by a neurologic disorder. To define the genetic basis for TCII deficiency, we have cloned and characterized the human gene that encodes this protein. The gene spans a minimum of 18 kbp and contains nine exons and eight introns, with a polyadenylation signal sequence located 509 bp downstream from the termination codon and a transcription initiation site beginning 158 bp upstream from the ATG translation start site. The 5' flanking DNA does not have a TATA or CCAAT regulatory element, but a 34-nucleotide stretch beginning just upstream of the CAP site contains four tandemly organized 5'-CCCC-3' tetramers. This sequence is a motif for a trans-active transcription factor (ETF) that regulates expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR), which also lacks TATA and CCAAT regulatory elements. A GC-rich sequence that binds the SP1 protein is located 356 nucleotides upstream from the first of the series of CCCC tetramers. Although this GC sequence is at an unusual location with respect to the CAP site, a 507-bp fragment containing this GC box drives the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter gene after transient transfection into NIH 3T3 cells. No CAT activity was observed when a 420-bp fragment lacking this GC box but containing the ETF-binding domains was similarly transfected into this cell line. One consensus and two atypical motifs for the c-myc ligand are located downstream and upstream, respectively, of the GC box, and this could explain the elevated plasma TCII observed in some patients with multiple myeloma, as the c-myc product is overexpressed in some myeloma cells. Restriction endonuclease digestion of genomic DNA from eight normal subjects with Taq I, Hinfl, Msp I, and Bgl I identified three patterns of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). A number of the exon/intron splice junctions of human TCII, TCI, and IF genes are located in homologous regions of these proteins, providing evidence that these genes have evolved by duplication of an ancestral gene. This characterization of the TCII gene and the RFLP should facilitate the identification of the mutation(s) responsible for the genetic abnormalities of TCII expression.
