<title>New algorithm for atmospheric correction of hyperspectral remote sensing data</title> (2001)

We previously developed an algorithm for remote sensing of ocean color from space that allows quick atmospheric correction of hyperspectral data using lookup tables generated with a modified version of Ahmad & Fraser's vector radiative transfer code. During the past year we extended our radiative transfer calculations, allowing us to generate tables for several airborne altitudes. We also modified our lookup-table software to interpolate to sensor altitudes between those specified in the new tables. Here, we present results of atmospheric corrections using the new tables and software on hyperspectral imagery collected with NRL's recent PHILLS instrument and past AVIRIS flights.
Urban structural damage assessment with oblique UAV imagery, object-based image analysis and semantic reasoning (2014)

Structural damage assessment is a priority following disaster events but, especially in complex urban settings, remains a significant challenge.Many studies have explored the potential of virtually every type of remote sensing data, but in particular vertical images have been found to have substantial limitations, as damage information is largely restricted to roofs and proxies such as blow-out debris near buildings, which may signal extensive damage even in case of an intact roof.Oblique imagery has been identified as a more useful data source that provides multi-perspective information, overcoming the perspective constraints of vertical imagery.This paper addresses damage assessment based on multi-perspective, overlapping, oblique images obtained with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).3D point-cloud assessment and object-based image analysis (OBIA, also referred to as object-oriented analysis, OOA) are used to extract damage indicators from both faades and roofs.The research focuses on creating a methodology that supports the ambiguous classification that characterizes especially the intermediate damage levels, aiming at producing more reliable per-building damage scores.The idea is to provide a tool that determines the comparatively clear damage cases (very heavy damage and complete destruction), and for the intermediate and lower cases creates a virtual model of the building with the option for an analysis to switch on additional damage layers to aid in the damage scoring.The results show that geometric parameters derived from the 3D point cloud can reveal damage indicators that are difficult to detect in the original imagery.They also demonstrate that the developed OBIA rulesets are capable of extracting all relevant damage features, and are able to cope with different types of faade and architectural scenes.This paper shows that the use of OBIA to extract damage information from the buildings, when coupled with 3D point cloud information, leads to a more comprehensive and less subjective building damage assessment that is interesting for the stakeholders in disaster response.The work is related to the currently ongoing FP7 project RECONASS (www.reconass.eu),and the upcoming INACHUS project.
Starch Modification by Organic Acids and Their Derivatives: A Review (2015)

Starch has been an inexhaustible subject of research for many decades. It is an inexpensive, readily-available material with extensive application in the food and processing industry. Researchers are continually trying to improve its properties by different modification procedures and expand its application. What is mostly applied in this view are their chemical modifications, among which organic acids have recently drawn the greatest attention, particularly with respect to the application of starch in the food industry. Namely, organic acids naturally occur in many edible plants and many of them are generally recognized as safe (GRAS), which make them ideal modification agents for starch intended for the food industry. The aim of this review is to give a short literature overview of the progress made in the research of starch esterification, etherification, cross-linking, and dual modification with organic acids and their derivatives.
Ant colony optimization for routing in mobile ad hoc networks (2008)

Routing algorithm is a pivotal technology for ad hoc networks, in this paper, an algorithm for routing in mobile ad hoc networks based on ideas from the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO-AHR) is proposed. Using ACO principle, available pheromone ratio of ant agent release is firstly proposed and applied to routing algorithm, and according to multi-agent mechanism, introduces the service agents to reduce the expense of ant agents. This algorithm is a hybrid algorithm that combines reactive path setup with proactive path probe and maintain. Finally, the simulating results show that ACO-AHR is effective.
Cleaning of Blood-Contaminated Reprocessed Angiographic Catheters and Spinal Needles (2000)

The hydrogen peroxide and enzymatic detergent aqueous solutions were shown to be efficacious when used as part of a multistep cleaning method. The low level of microbial contamination prior to sterilization with hydrogen peroxide gas plasma assured that the intended sterility assurance level was reached.
Characteristics of the Silver Oxide‐Zinc‐Alkali Primary Cell (1946)

The silver oxide‐zinc‐alkali system was investigated with reference to its ability to serve as the basis for a high‐rate primary battery. The discharge characteristics of such a battery were also studied under a variety of conditions. The battery gives a flat voltage curve at the higher rates and is light in weight. Furthermore, it has reasonably good temperature characteristics and these can be modified by a proper selection of the type of negative zinc plate that is used.
Inference to the Best Explanation: a comparison of approaches (2009)

In the form of inference known as inference to the best explanation (IBE) there are various ways to characterize what is meant by the best explanation. This paper considers a number of such characterizations including several based on confirmation measures and several based on coherence measures. The goal is to find a measure which adequately captures what is meant by ‘best’ and that also yields the true explanation with a high degree of probability. Computer simulations are used to show that the overlap coherence measure achieves this goal, enabling the true explanation to be identified almost as often as an approach which simply selects the most probable explanation.

Objective Visual Field Testing (1963)

THE VALUE OF visual field testing is well established in the fields of ophthalmology, neurology, neurosurgery, and internal medicine. The time-consuming nature of this subjective test, with its inherent inaccuracies in patients unable to cooperate fully, is familiar to most clinicians. It was the purpose of this study to investigate the feasibility of objective visual field testing by use of a specially-designed digital computer to sum and extract from "noise" the small evoked occipital potentials produced in response to focal visual illumination. Previously, photic driving and the recording of evoked occipital potentials from gross (large area) ocular stimuli have sometimes been useful in indicating the side of a cerebral lesion.<sup>1-4</sup>In this investigation small stimuli were used in an attempt to achieve greater resolution, enabling the detection of visual field defects. "Blindspot experiments" were performed on normal subjects to determine the stimulus parameters and background illumination necessary to
<i>Macrolophus caliginosus</i>: Functional response to whiteflies and preference and switching capacity between whiteflies and spider mites (2001)

Abstract Laboratory experiments were performed with adult female Macrolophus caliginosus Wagner (Heteroptera: Miridae) at 22°C on bean plants to determine the functional response towards whiteflies, as well as the preference and switching capacity between the two prey species: whiteflies and spider mites. Predation of females presented with first instars of Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) was of a Type III functional response. The observed maximum predation was approximately 75 first instars at high prey densities within a 24‐h period. The preference of M. caliginosus females between eggs of T. vaporariorum and Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acarina: Tetranychidae) changed with the ratio of offered prey. The preference for T. vaporariorum eggs increased non‐linearly with increasing proportions of this prey type. The average maximum predation of whitefly and spider mite eggs were approximately 166 and 111 eggs per day, respectively, at the highest ratio of the two preys. The proportion of M. caliginosus females found on the test plants at the end of the experiment increased with prey density suggesting that this mirid spends more time in areas with high prey density. Macrolophus caliginosus females are voracious predators of eggs and first instars of T. vaporariorum as well as of spider mite eggs and may thus be a valuable addition to existing methods of biological control of T. vaporariorum and T. urticae .
Increasing hardware complexity---a challenge to computer architecture education (1973)

The paper starts with a survey over history and present-day situation of educational concepts and design methods in computer architecture. Complexity problems, bad design habits, cooperation problems between specialists, as well as their changing range of responsibility are covered, and the consequences of the developmental trends are discussed: now it is time for switching over to an integrated teaching of hardware/software design methods. The HIM scheme (hierarchy of interpretive modules) is suggested as a conceptual machine organization framework for modelling the implementation of language hierarchies. The application of the HIM scheme for better understanding of semantics, and for a derivation of designing guidelines is discussed.
Fabrication of a Continuously Oriented Porous Al <sub>2</sub> O <sub>3</sub> Body and Its <i>In Vitro</i> Study (2005)

Continuously oriented porous Al 2 O 3 bodies were fabricated by a multi‐pass extrusion process using C powders and ethylene vinyl acetate as an agent for pore forming and as a binder, respectively. The main pore size can be easily controlled by increasing the number of extrusion passes. The edges of the pore frame showed a rough surface having many fine pores about 0.2–1 μm in size. In the continuously porous Al 2 O 3 bodies having 150 μm pore size, the values of the relative density and bending strength were about 63% and 90 MPa, respectively. These values were higher than those of an Al 2 O 3 porous body made by a common process. From the in vitro study using human osteoblast‐like MG‐63 cells, it was confirmed that the cells grew well and adhered to the top surface and inside pores, as well as the outside wall of the continuously porous Al 2 O 3 body. Without the directionality, the cells showed some spindle‐shaped, three‐dimensional, and network‐type structures.

A dual-channel analog front-end for ANSI/ETSI standards compliant VDSL in 0.25/0.5μm 1P 5M CMOS is presented. The chip includes a non-linearity cancelling multi-path line driver achieving -76dBc 3rd harmonic distortion at 12MHz, a 75mW continuous-time multi-bit 3rd-order self-calibrating ΣΔ ADC, a 14b current-steering DAC with PSD mask post filter, a 0-35dB variable-gain amplifier with adjustable hybrid, and a 12ps jitter LC PLL.
Separating Heart Sound from Lung Sound Using LabVIEW (2010)

Heart sounds interfere with lung sounds in a way that hampers the potential of respiratory sound analysis in terms of diagnosis of respiratory illness. This paper implements a VI for Heart Sound (HS) cancellation from Lung Sound (LS) records using the Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit of Lab VIEW 8.2. The method uses the multiresolution analysis of the wavelet approximation coefficients of the original signal to detect HS-included segments. Once the HS segments are identified, the method removes them from the wavelet coefficients and estimates the created gaps by using TSA ARMA modeling and prediction.
Concurrent processing of multiple wafer types in a single-armed cluster tool (2011)

We examine the possibilities of concurrently processing multiple wafer types in a cluster tool. In this paper, we propose a way of cyclically mixing two wafer types for a single-armed cluster tool and scheduling the tool operation. For a given cycle plan, we also develop a method of optimally scheduling the tool so as to minimize the cycle time. We wish to compare cycle plans that optimize different performance measures such as tool utilization, throughput rate, etc. To do this, for a given cycle plan, we develop a Petri net model for the tool's operational behavior. We also develop a necessary and sufficient condition for which the conventional simple optimal backward sequence for a single wafer case is still optimal; that is, it minimizes the tool cycle time for concurrent processing. Moreover, for some identified conditions, all wafer types can achieve their maximum throughput rates in a concurrent schedule by the backward sequence, over all possible schedules. For the case where the backward sequence is not optimal, we develop a mixed integer programming (MIP) for determining an optimal robot task sequence and schedule, which can be efficiently solved by various algorithms or commercial solvers. Finally, through illustrative examples, we compute the optimal cycle times and schedules for various cycle plans and operational strategies.
Sudden death during longterm ambulatory monitoring (1984)

Ten instances of sudden cardiac death documented with longterm ambulatory electrocardiography are described. All had coronary artery disease. The lethal arrhythmia was ventricular fibrillation in seven, bradyarrhythmia ending in asystole in two, and electromechanical dissociation in one. There was no specific arrhythmia pattern in the preceding hour of the terminal event and no predictable electrical trigger for the lethal arrhythmia. The literature on the subject has been reviewed. It appears from the information available that larger series of documented sudden death cases are needed if one wishes to define subgroups with a preventable case of sudden cardiac death.
Two different farnesyl diphosphate synthase genes exist in the genome of the green peach aphid,<i>Myzus persicae</i> (2008)

Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPS; EC 2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.10) catalyzes biosynthesis of farnesyl diphosphate, which is important to insects as the precursor of juvenile hormone and the substrate for (E)-beta-farnesene synthase. Here, two FPS cDNAs were isolated from the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (EU334430 and EU334431). Their shared identity within the coding region is approximately 82%. The deduced amino acid sequences of the two M. persicae FPS cDNAs have the highly conserved motifs characteristic of most known FPSs. Phylogenetic analyses showed that they are closely related to other insect FPSs. Homology modeling of structures suggested a very good fit between the three-dimensional structures of the two putative M. persicae FPSs (designated as MpFPS1 and MpFPS2) and the avian FPS crystal structure. The corresponding genomic DNA sequences were subsequently determined (EU429295 and EU429296). Sequence comparisons revealed a different splicing pattern between the two MpFPS genes. Furthermore, the two MpFPS genes exhibited a seemingly very primitive gene-splicing pattern at 5' ends but a gene-splicing style similar to mammalian FPS genes at 3' ends. These data, combined with results of Southern blotting, suggest that M. persicae contains two different FPS genes. This is the first report that two different FPS genes exist in a hemipteran insect.
Coarsening of γ′-precipitates in single-crystal superalloy SRR 99 (1986)

The effects of isothermal annealing between 800 and 1200°C on the microstructure of single–crystal SRR 99 have been investigated. During aging at either 800 or 900°C, the precipitates adopt an irregular, rounded, and highly interconnected array which suggests that they have undergone coalescence. Aging at higher temperatures was found to produce a regular cuboidal precipitate morphology, although long–term aging promoted the formation of γ′-'rafts'. The precipitate size distributions were found to be broader than those predicted by the Lifshitz-Slyosov and Wagner theory, and the coarsening kinetics also showed significant deviations from the power law prediction of this theory. The reasons for these deviations are discussed in the light of the available models, and it is suggested that a progressive transition in the dominant coarsening mechanism takes place.MST/371
The metabolism of oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids by sheep with reference to their effects on methane production (1966)

1. Nine experiments, each with one of six sheep with cannulated rumens given a constant diet of dried grass, were made in which oleic, linoleic or linolenic acid was infused into the rumen and energy and lipid metabolism were measured. One experiment was made in which palmitic acid was given. 2. Judged by changes in the composition of isolated fatty acids, the unsaturated fatty acids were hydrogenated in the rumen. An increase in the excretion of lipid in the faeces occurred when the unsaturated acids were given. The heat of combustion of the faeces increased by 12.6±3.0 kcal/100 kcal fatty acid, of which 94% was accounted for by the additional lipid. 3. Methane production fell when the unsaturated fatty acids were infused, the decreases being 13.8±1.6 kcal CH 4 ;/I00 kcal oleic acid, 14.2±1.5 kcal CH 4 /100 kcal linoIeic acid and 16.4±1.3 kcal CH 4 /100 kcal Iinolenic acid. The introduction of a double bond into an n-alkyl acid was calculated to reduce methane production by 0.24±0.09 moles/mole double bond. 4. Because the depression of methane production on infusing the fatty acids exceeded the increase in the heat of combustion of the faeces, the metabolizable energy of the fatty acids was 104.1±5.3% of their heat of combustion. 5. The efficiencies with which the fatty acids were used to promote energy retention were 74.6±5.7% for oleic acid, 79.2±2.0 % for linoleic acid and 82.5±3.0% for linolenic acid. These efficiencies agreed with those noted in experiments by others with rats, horses and pigs given glycerides, but were higher than those noted by others when glycerides were added to the diets of ruminants.

Antipsychotic and mood stabilizer efficacy and tolerability in pediatric and adult patients with bipolar I mania: a comparative analysis of acute, randomized, placebo‐controlled trials (2010)

In treating mania, potentially greater short-term efficacy compared to placebo with SGAs versus MS needs to be balanced against increased adverse events, especially in youth.
Study on Machinabilty of Al2O3 Ceramic Composite in EDM Using Response Surface Methodology (2011)

Electric discharge machining (EDM) has been proven as an alternate process for machining complex and intricate shapes from the conductive ceramic composites. Al2O3 based electrodischarge machinable Al2O3–SiCw–TiC ceramic composite is a potential substitute for traditional materials due to their high hardness, excellent chemical, and mechanical stability under a broad range of temperature, and high specific stiffness. The right selection of the machining condition is the most important aspect to take into consideration in the EDM. The present work correlates the inter-relationships of various EDM machining parameters, namely, discharge current, pulse-on time, duty cycle, and gap voltage on the metal removal rate (MRR), electrode wear ratio (EWR), and surface roughness using the response surface methodology (RSM) while EDM of Al2O3–SiCw–TiC ceramic composite. Analysis of variance is used to study the significance of process variables on MRR, EWR, and surface roughness. The experimental results reveal that discharge current, pulse-on time, and duty cycle significantly affected MRR and EWR, while discharge current and pulse-on time affected the surface roughness. The validation of developed models shows that the MRR EWR and surface roughness of EDM of Al2O3–SiCw–TiC ceramic can be estimated with reasonable accuracy using the second-order models. Finally, trust-region method for nonlinear minimization is used to find the optimum levels of the parameters. The surface and subsurface damage have also been assessed and characterized using scanning electron microscopy. This study reveals that EDMed material unevenness increases with discharge current and pulse-on time.
