THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONFORMAL RADIATION THERAPY FOR LOCALLY RECURRENT NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA (2001)

Objective: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3-D CRT) for locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: From April 1998 to March 2000, 34 patients who had undergone previous external beam radiation therapy were retreated with 3-D CRT for locally recurrent NPC (33 poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas, 1 adenoma). The patients were re-staged according to Huaqing staging system with the following distribution: T1N0M0 in 5 cases, T2N0M0 in 11 cases, T3N0M0 in 12 cases, T4N0M0 in 6 cases. The maximal dimension of the gross tumor volume (GTV) ranged from 1.0 cm to 5.0 cm (median: 2.9 cm). CT simulation and 3-D planning were used to ensure full and conformal coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) by treated volume, while minimizing the absorbed dose of the adjacent normal tissue. 5-7 static conformal coplanar or noncoplanar portals were delivered for each fraction irradiation. The total dose delivered ranged from 65-70 Gy, with 2.5 Gy per fractionation, one fractionation per day, 5 days a week. Median follow-up time from 3-D CRT was 25 months (range: 12-36 months). Results: Over the follow-up period, local recurrence was observed in 3 patients, regional failure in 3, distant metastasis in 3, and six patients died; 88.2% (30/34) of the patient maintained local control, 82.4% (28/34) survived, and 76.5% (26/34) survived with no evidence of tumor. Acute complications were minor and few. The overall incidence of late complication was 20.6% (7/34), and severe complication was 14.7% (5/34), after re-irradiation with 3-D CRT. Conclusion: 3-D CRT is safety and effectiveness for most of the patients with locally recurrent NPC. Our preliminary results indicate a high local control rate and a low complication rate. The long-term curative effect and sequelae await further study.
Improvement of device efficiency in PIN-OLEDs by controlling the charge carrier balance and intrinsic outcoupling methods (2012)

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with high power efficiency are desirable for lighting applications. A prerequisite for high power efficiency is the achievement of low driving voltages, which can be done via charge carrier doping of the transport layers in PIN organic light-emitting diodes (PIN- OLEDs). We have looked at how to combine low voltage with high current efficiency and long lifetime and have therefore investigated different ways of changing the charge carrier balance in PIN-OLEDs. The carrier supply to the emitting layer was adjusted by electron and hole-blocking layers to allow for an undisturbed exciton formation and radiative decay while keeping the total voltage low. In further investigations, we developed highly efficient and stable white PIN bottom emission OLED devices using novel evaporation processable outcoupling enhancement materials inside the PIN OLED stack. In white bottom emission OLEDs the use of this outcoupling enhancement material in combination with a standard micro-lens arrays (MLA) outcoupling film can yield an efficiency enhancement of up to 1.8. By combining the well-balanced stack with the internal outcoupling approach we achieved a power efficiency of 51.9 lm/W. With additional flat external outcoupling, the power efficiency has been further increased to 60 lm/W. The color coordinates are 0.470/0.429 with color rendering index (CRI) of 87. The 50% lifetime of the OLED could be estimated to 90,000 h.

Simple Saponification Method for the Quantitative Determination of Carotenoids in Green Vegetables (2005)

A simple, reliable, and gentle saponification method for the quantitative determination of carotenoids in green vegetables was developed. The method involves an extraction procedure with acetone and the selective removal of the chlorophylls and esterified fatty acids from the organic phase using a strongly basic resin (Ambersep 900 OH). Extracts from common green vegetables (beans, broccoli, green bell pepper, chive, lettuce, parsley, peas, and spinach) were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for their content of major carotenoids before and after action of Ambersep 900 OH. The mean recovery percentages for most carotenoids [(all-E)-violaxanthin, (all-E)-lutein epoxide, (all-E)-lutein, neolutein A, and (all-E)-beta-carotene] after saponification of the vegetable extracts with Ambersep 900 OH were close to 100% (99-104%), while the mean recovery percentages of (9'Z)-neoxanthin increased to 119% and that of (all-E)-neoxanthin and neolutein B decreased to 90% and 72%, respectively.
Research and Realization of the Bank Self-service Terminal Based on XFS Standard (2009)

This paper discusses adding a new logic processing module which is in line with the WOSA/XFS standard to the existing self-service terminal. In this module, the mapping relationship of the SP (service provider) and service call function have been realized because the use of reflection mechanisms, thereby ensuring that the application function has nothing to do with the hardware devices. All that have effectively raise the scalability and manageability of the self-service system to expand, delete and update.
An optimal linear filter for the reduction of noise superimposed to the EEG signal (1983)

In the present paper a procedure for the reduction of super-imposed noise on EEG tracings is described, which makes use of linear digital filtering and identification methods. In particular, an optimal filter (a Kalman filter) has been developed which is intended to capture the disturbances of the electromyographic noise on the basis of an a priori modelling which considers a series of impulses with a temporal occurrence according to a Poisson distribution as a noise generating mechanism. The experimental results refer to the EEG tracings recorded from 20 patients in normal resting conditions: the procedure consists of a preprocessing phase (which uses also a low-pass FIR digital filter), followed by the implementation of the identification and the Kalman filter. The performance of the filters is satisfactory also from the clinical standpoint, obtaining a marked reduction of noise without distorting the useful information contained in the signal. Furthermore, when using the introduced method, the EEG signal generating mechanism is accordingly parametrized as AR/ARMA models, thus obtaining an extremely sensitive feature extraction with interesting and not yet completely studied pathophysiological meanings. The above procedure may find a general application in the field of noise reduction and the better enhancement of information contained in the wide set of biological signals.
Blue-light-emitting and hole-transporting molecular materials based on amorphous triphenylamine-functionalized twisted binaphthyl (2014)

Two stable blue-light-emitting molecular materials containing twisted binaphthyl and peripheral triphenylamine groups were synthesized by Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions. Both compounds exhibit excellent thermal and morphologic stabilities, high glass transition temperatures and good fluorescence quantum yield in films. They serve as both hole-transporting and blue emission materials in organic light-emitting diodes with good external quantum efficiencies.
Anomaly Detection for malware identification using Hardware Performance Counters (2015)

Computers are widely used today by most people. Internet based applications, like ecommerce or ebanking attracts criminals, who using sophisticated techniques, tries to introduce malware on the victim computer. But not only computer users are in risk, also smartphones or smartwatch users, smart cities, Internet of Things devices, etc. Different techniques has been tested against malware. Currently, pattern matching is the default approach in antivirus software. Also, Machine Learning is successfully being used. Continuing this trend, in this article we propose an anomaly based method using the hardware performance counters (HPC) available in almost any modern computer architecture. Because anomaly detection is an unsupervised process, new malware and APTs can be detected even if they are unknown.
Determination of Organic Contaminants in Residential Indoor Air Using an Adsorption-thermal Desorption Technique (1990)

This field study evaluated the ability of a multi-sorbent sampling tube/thermal desorption technique to identify and to provide quantitative data on volatile organic contaminants in indoor air. Air samples, from 12 Canadian homes, were collected on multilayer sorbent cartridges and analyzed using Adsorption/Thermal Desorption coupled with Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry. The study included the identification and quantitation of 23 target compounds. Analysis of sorbent tubes fortified with these target compounds indicated that recoveries were greater than 70 percent and the precision was usually better than 15 percent. These organic compounds were found to be stable on the sorbent tubes for at least seven days. With some exceptions, the target compounds were usually detected at 1 to 10 micrograms/m3 in indoor air samples; other organics identified qualitatively were saturated hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, cyclic hydrocarbons, substituted aromatics, oxygenates, some halogenates and cyclic species such as camphenes/pinenes and carenes.

Access control in a cooperative editing system (2011)

Access control in cooperative editing system is one of key techniques of cooperative work system. There are many access control models presently, but none of them are natively fit for cooperative editing. We analyze access control modes in cooperative editing system and then propose an access control mode for cooperative editing and relevant management and control. We define several role in the access control model in cooperative editing system, whose basic roles are distributed according to hierarchical structures. System administrator assigns user to be Chief editor of document who manages coeditors of document. Generally administrator doesn't manage concrete editing process of document directly although having authority. We make use of parameters as document access control thus guaranteeing stability and extensibility of system. Parameters for users can be divided into two kinds. One is control parameter of synchronous cooperation such as in real-time editing, identity of users, immediate updating and so on. The other is control parameter of asynchronous cooperation such as authority of independent operation of coeditor. Role objects of Co-Office can be represented by a triple tuple. Finally we also apply and implement the access control model to Co-Office, a real cooperative editing system, fulfilling multiuse and multitask access control in cooperative editing environment.
2-D Direct-Coupled Standing-Wave Oscillator Arrays (2013)

A direct-coupled technique for standing wave oscillator (SWO) arrays is presented in this paper. The oscillation currents of a unit cell in the SWO array directly inject to adjacent cells through the resonator. Two 2-D SWO arrays based on the technique are reported. The first SWO array can provide synchronous signals with identical frequencies, amplitudes, and phases at multiple locations over a chip. It is implemented in a 90-nm CMOS technology with 61.5-GHz oscillation frequency. Millimeter-wave radiators that consists of the proposed SWO array, an RF driver array, and an on-chip loop antenna array are implemented in a single chip to verify the synchronicity of the reported 2-D SWO via wireless measurement. The indirect evidence of synchronicity is provided from the correlation between the wireless measured effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) and phase noise of 1 × 1, 2 × 2, and 3 × 3 arrays. The EIRP in the normal direction of the array is increasing by a factor of 10 log N <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and the phase noise is reducing by a factor of 10 log N over that of a single cell, where N is the number of unit cells in the array. The second SWO array can provide synchronous signals with identical frequencies, amplitudes, and multiple phases at multiple locations over a chip. It is implemented in a 65-nm CMOS technology with 132.5-GHz fundamental frequency. The SWO array is designed for a 2-D second-harmonic (265 GHz) spatial power radiating and combining array. The EIRPs of the fundamental frequency and second harmonic in the normal direction of the array are -34 and -6.5 dBm, respectively. The phase noise of the fundamental frequency and second harmonic at 1-MHz offset from the carrier frequency are -96 and -89 dBc/Hz, respectively.

The antimicrobial effect of organic acids, sour dough and nisin against <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> and <i>B. licheniformis</i> isolated from wheat bread (1998)

Prevention of growth in wheat bread for more than 6 d of approximately 106 rope-producing Bacillus subtilis spores per gram of dough was achieved by addition of propionic or acetic acids at levels of 0·10% v/w (based on flour weight), or by addition of 15% sour dough fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum C11, Lact. brevis L62, Lact. plantarum (‘vege-start 60’), Lact. plantarum (ch 20), Lact. maltaromicus (ch 15), or the commercial sour dough starter culture, Lact. sanfrancisco L99. These cultures resulted in an amount of total titratable acids above 10 in the sour dough and a pH value below 4·8 in the final bread. Bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria added as starter cultures in wheat dough and nisin (Nisaplin) at levels up to 100 p.p.m. g−1 flour had no effect against B. subtilis and B. licheniformis strains, despite the fact that nisin-producing strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis among 186 strains of lactic acid bacteria had demonstrated inhibitory activity against B. subtilis and B. licheniformis in an agar spot assay.

Toxic and Nontoxic <i>Microcystis</i> Colonies in Natural Populations Can Be Differentiated on the Basis of rRNA Gene Internal Transcribed Spacer Diversity (2004)

Assessing and predicting bloom dynamics and toxin production by Microcystis requires analysis of toxic and nontoxic Microcystis genotypes in natural communities. We show that genetic differentiation of Microcystis colonies based on rRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences provides an adequate basis for recognition of microcystin producers. Consequently, ecological studies of toxic and nontoxic cyanobacteria are now possible through studies of rRNA ITS genotypic diversity in isolated cultures or colonies and in natural communities. A total of 107 Microcystis colonies were isolated from 15 lakes in Europe and Morocco, the presence of microcystins in each colony was examined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and they were grouped by rRNA ITS denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) typing. Based on DGGE analysis of amplified ITSa and ITSc fragments, yielding supplementary resolution (I. Janse et al., Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 69:6634-6643, 2003), the colonies could be differentiated into 59 classes. Microcystin-producing and non-microcystin-producing colonies ended up in different classes. Sequences from the rRNA ITS of representative strains were congruent with the classification based on DGGE and confirmed the recognition of microcystin producers on the basis of rRNA ITS. The rRNA ITS sequences also confirmed inconsistencies reported for Microcystis identification based on morphology. There was no indication for geographical restriction of strains, since identical sequences originated from geographically distant lakes. About 28% of the analyzed colonies gave rise to multiple bands in DGGE profiles, indicating either aggregation of different colonies, or the occurrence of sequence differences between multiple operons. Cyanobacterial community profiles from two Dutch lakes from which colonies had been isolated showed different relative abundances of genotypes between bloom stages and between the water column and surface scum. Although not all bands in the community profiles could be matched with isolated colonies, the profiles suggest a dominance of nontoxic colonies, mainly later in the season and in scums.
State Power, Private Plots and the Greening of Havana's Urban Agriculture Movement (2009)

Abstract Drawing on ethnographic research conducted over a decade from 1997 to 2007 in Havana, Cuba, this paper applies Henri Lefebvre's insights on the social production of space to the processes involved in the creation of officially‐sanctioned sustainable urban agriculture sites. Without denying the important function of the state in these processes, this paper highlights the significant role played by a range of non‐state actors, and interests, largely left out from most scholarly accounts of Cuba's recent agricultural developments. In this manner, the paper offers a more refined understanding of the influence and the limits of the Cuban state at the current historical juncture.
SPECTRUM analysis of multispectral imagery in conjunction with wavelet/KLT data compression (2002)

The data analysis program, SPECTRUM, is used for fusion, visualization, and classification of multispectral imagery. To facilitate data transmission and storage, a compression algorithm is proposed based on spatial wavelet transform coding and KLT decomposition of interchannel spectral vectors, followed by adaptive optimal multiband scalar quantization. The performance of SPECTRUM clustering and visualization is evaluated on compressed multispectral data. 8-bit visualizations of 56-bit data show little visible distortion, at 50:1 compression and graceful degradation at higher compression ratios.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Web GIS in practice III: creating a simple interactive map of England's Strategic Health Authorities using Google Maps API, Google Earth KML, and MSN Virtual Earth Map Control (2005)

This eye-opener article aims at introducing the health GIS community to the emerging online consumer geoinformatics services from Google and Microsoft (MSN), and their potential utility in creating custom online interactive health maps. Using the programmable interfaces provided by Google and MSN, we created three interactive demonstrator maps of England's Strategic Health Authorities. These can be browsed online at http://www.healthcybermap.org/GoogleMapsAPI/ - Google Maps API (Application Programming Interface) version, http://www.healthcybermap.org/GoogleEarthKML/ - Google Earth KML (Keyhole Markup Language) version, and http://www.healthcybermap.org/MSNVirtualEarth/ - MSN Virtual Earth Map Control version. Google and MSN's worldwide distribution of "free" geospatial tools, imagery, and maps is to be commended as a significant step towards the ultimate "wikification" of maps and GIS. A discussion is provided of these emerging online mapping trends, their expected future implications and development directions, and associated individual privacy, national security and copyrights issues. Although ESRI have announced their planned response to Google (and MSN), it remains to be seen how their envisaged plans will materialize and compare to the offerings from Google and MSN, and also how Google and MSN mapping tools will further evolve in the near future.
Electrical pacing of the ampullary isthmic junction for contraception (1988)

Results are reported of a study of the effect of chronic long-term stimulation of the ampullary isthmic junction on tubal functions and fertility in rabbits. Preliminary experiments show that a 6-V, 48-Hz, 1-ms pulse stimulation with an implanted electrode reduces the tubal diameter and the high-activity motility bursts were also fewer after stimulation. Therefore, the contraceptive action observed in rabbits could be due to altered ovum transport dynamics. The data suggest a new direction in female contraception studies.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Survey of serum IgA, IgG, and IgM concentrations in a large Beagle population in which IgA deficiency had been identified (1988)

Concentrations of serum IgA, IgG, and IgM were determined for 829 adult Beagles from a commercial kennel in which several IgA-deficient dogs had been identified previously (index kennel). These values were compared with measurements of 100 adult dogs from another Beagle kennel (control kennel). After adjustment for differences in the ages and gender of the dogs, dogs from the index kennel had significantly (P less than 0.0001) lower IgA concentrations (mean, 46 mg/dl) than dogs from the control kennel (mean, 68 mg/dl). Regardless of kennel, males had significantly (P less than 0.01) higher IgA concentrations than did females. Dogs in the control kennel had significantly (P less than 0.04) higher IgG concentrations (mean, 2,649 mg/dl) than did dogs in the index kennel (mean, 2,478 mg/dl), and female dogs in the control kennel had significantly (P less than 0.05) higher IgM concentrations (mean, 189 mg/dl) than dogs of either sex in the index kennel (mean, 162 mg/dl) or male dogs in the control kennel (mean, 163 mg/dl). For both sexes, concentrations of IgA, IgG, and IgM increased with age.
