NV-process (2012)

Reliability wall is one of the most challenging problems for next generation High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Traditional system design adopts extra fault tolerance mechanism. However, the cost of fault tolerance mechanism itself may incur huge cost, so as to decrease the utilization ratio of the HPC system. To address this problem, we present NV-process, a fault-tolerance process model based on NVRAM. NV-process instances run in a self-contained way in NVRAM, thus to survive across operating system reboot. NV-process provides an elegant way for the applications to tolerate system crashes. We implement a prototype system of NV-process based on Linux and analyze the advantages over traditional fault tolerant mechanism for future HPC applications.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous immunoglobulin in the prevention of recurrent miscarriage: evidence for a therapeutic effect in women with secondary recurrent miscarriage (2002)

IvIg may improve pregnancy outcome in patients with secondary RM. A new placebo-controlled trial focusing on this subgroup should be conducted to confirm the results.

Energy Harvesting for Smart-Internet-Connected Bearings (2015)

With the number of interconnected devices, many of which being wireless, exceeding the human population, there is a need to power resource-constrained devices through means other than disposable batteries. Harvesting ambient energy from the vicinity of the device is one solution.SKF, a producer of rolling element bearings, produces approximately one billion bearings per year. If parts of the produced bearings could be self-sucient devices powered through ambient energy, the smart integration of electronics in mechanical systems could be achieved. A scenario in which rolling element bearings are embedded with electronics is presented, through which the development of new services, data collection, data transfer and data interpretation can be realized. This scenario is the key motivation for thisthesis.This thesis presents some of the most common sources of energy used for harvesting energy in rotating environments and discusses how dierent transduction methods can convert ambient energy into electrical energy. Finding a general, robust and cost-eectivetechnology that can be applied to or in the vicinity of a rotating system is one of the main focuses of this thesis. The investigated technologies should be applicable to a dirty and encapsulated industrial environment; therefore, certain energy sources, e.g., sun light and radio frequencies, are not investigated. Advancements in vibrational energy harvesting are also presented in the form of a parameterized SPICE model of a piezoelectric vibrationharvester that can be simulated in conjunction with non-ideal and non-linear circuit models. The SPICE model is used to verify the performance of a novel energy harvesting circuit that actively extracts energy from a piezoelectric transducer. The harvesting circuit enables the enforcement of greater electrical damping on the mechanical system, thereby enabling more electrical energy to be extracted. For weak electromechanically coupled piezoelectric harvesters, the circuit can increase the power output by more than 300% compared to a full-wave rectifying bridge. The simulation results with the modeledharvester under the dened operating conditions in conjunction with the active harvesting circuit indicate that an average of more than 1 mW of power can be extracted, which is assumed to be sucient for powering a resource-constrained embedded device.
Elevated Cortisol Levels in Cushing’s Disease Are Associated With Cognitive Decrements (2001)

Chronically elevated levels of glucocorticoids have deleterious effects on particular domains of cognition. Verbal learning and other verbal functions seem more vulnerable than nonverbal functions. The results suggest that both the neocortex and hippocampus are affected.
Graphene Transistors: Status, Prospects, and Problems (2013)

Graphene is a relatively new material with unique properties that holds promise for electronic applications. Since 2004, when the first graphene samples were intentionally fabricated, the worldwide research activities on graphene have literally exploded. Apart from physicists, also device engineers became interested in the new material and soon the prospects of graphene in electronics have been considered. For the most part, the early discussions on the potential of graphene had a prevailing positive mood, mainly based on the high carrier mobilities observed in this material. This has repeatedly led to very optimistic assessments of the potential of graphene transistors and to an underestimation of their problems. In this paper, we discuss the properties of graphene relevant for electronic applications, examine its advantages and problems, and summarize the state of the art of graphene transistors.
A simple and useful solution for visualizing the care flow for patients and healthcare professionals. (2008)

We used the Microsoft Visio 2003 and Excel 2003 with the VBA automation tool to design a process flow of Cardiac Catheterization. The results showed the technical feasibility and potentials of using simple tool to visualize the nursing process for both patients and healthcare professionals.
The two‐component histidine kinases DrkA and SlnA are required for <i>in vivo</i> growth in the human pathogen <i>Penicillium marneffei</i> (2011)

In order to cause disease fungal pathogens must be capable of evading or tolerating the host immune defence system. One commonly utilized evasion mechanism is the ability to continually reside within macrophages of the innate immune system and survive subsequent phagocytic destruction. For intracellular growth to occur, fungal pathogens which typically grow in a filamentous hyphal form in the environment must be able to switch growth to a unicellular yeast growth form in a process known as dimorphic switching. The cue to undergo dimorphic switching relies on the recognition of, and response to, the intracellular host environment. Two-component signalling systems are utilized by eukaryotes to sense and respond to changes in the external environment. This study has investigated the role of the hybrid histidine kinase components encoded by drkA and slnA, in the dimorphic pathogen Penicillium marneffei. Both SlnA and DrkA are required for stress adaptation but are uniquely required for different aspects of asexual development, hyphal morphogenesis and cell wall integrity. Importantly, slnA and drkA are both essential for the generation of yeast cells in vivo, with slnA required for the germination of conidia and drkA required for dimorphic switching during macrophage infection.
[Handwashing habit of intensive care workers]. (2008)

The handwashing habit of healthcare workers in our unit is unacceptably low. We believe that introduction of social pressure models will help to improve handwashing awareness of the health care worker.
A broadband quarter-wavelength impedance transformer using vertically installed planar coupler (2011)

Summary form only given, as follows. A broadband quarter-wavelength impedance transformer using a vertically installed planar (VIP) coupler is presented. A wide range of impedance transformation ratios and bandwidths can be achieved using this design. A 50 to 100 impedance transformer covering 0.7 GHz to 2 GHz is designed and implemented using the VIP. The measured results agree well with the simulation results. The design curves generated are useful for the design of this type of impedance transformer.
Influence of negative ions on the plasma boundary sheath (1992)

The collisionless boundary sheath of a plasma containing additionally negative ions and secondary electrons is investigated theoretically. Bohm's criterion is generalized for such plasmas. The following effects are considered. (i) For negative-ion densities less than a critical value, the negative ions are captured by the positive ions through Coulomb collisions in the bulk plasma and in the presheath. As a consequence, the negative ions move together with the positive ions to the cathode. The critical density is determined by the collision frequencies of the negative ions with the positive ions and with the neutral atoms. (ii) Negative ions penetrating into the collisionless boundary sheath together with the positive ions are reflected by the electric field. As a consequence a double layer appears with a maximum of the electric field within the sheath. (iii) Secondary electrons emitted by the electrode reduce the field in the sheath and can form a virtual cathode. The theoretical results are in good agreement with experimental measurements.
Anode surface radiance from microsecond vacuum arcs (1974)

Measurements of anode surface radiance as a function of time for microsecond-duration vacuum arcs have been performed using an infrared-sensitive solid-state detector. Anode surface temperatures have been inferred from the measured radiance values using information concerning the surface spectral emittance. Particular attention has been given to the measurement of anode spot temperatures as a function of time. The anode materials investigated are Al, Cu, and Kovar. In addition, surface temperatures due to plasma heating of Al2O3 (alumina) and BeO (beryllia) ceramics surrounding the active anode area have been determined. Values of the average anode current density ranged from 6×103 to 5×104 A/cm2, with arc current pulse lengths of 1–12 μsec. Anode spot temperatures between 2600 and 3300°C for Cu, and between 2000 and 2400°C for Al were observed. The maximum surface temperatures of the ceramic insulators were between 2900 and 3500°C for Al2O3 and between 2000 and 2300°C for BeO. Calculations based on an integral equation solution to the heat-flow equation suggest that the input power density to the surface falls between 106 and 107 W/cm2 for Al, Cu, Al2O3, and BeO. Based on these values, estimates of the anode spot current density for Al and Cu fall between 105 and 106 A/cm2.
Managerial Timing and Corporate Liquidity: Evidence from Actual Share Repurchases (2000)

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the timing of open market share repurchases and its resultant impact on corporate liquidity. We identify the exact implementation dates for over 5,000 equity buybacks on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong between November 1991 and August 1999. A bootstrapping method is used to distinguish managerial timing ability from a naive accumulation plan. The results show that managers exhibit substantial timing ability. Consistent with the information-asymmetry hypothesis (Barclay and Smith (1988 Journal of Financial Economics 22, 61-82)), we find strong evidence that bid-ask spreads widen and depths narrow during repurchase periods. We further decompose bid-ask spreads and show that the adverse selection component increases substantially when market participants respond to the presence of informed managerial trading. Overall, our market timing, spread and depth, and decomposition results reveal a coherent picture of managerial buyback behavior and its impact on firm liquidity. Our results have significant implications for corporate payout and disclosure policies.
FoldingNet: Point Cloud Auto-Encoder via Deep Grid Deformation (2018)

Recent deep networks that directly handle points in a point set, e.g., PointNet, have been state-of-the-art for supervised learning tasks on point clouds such as classification and segmentation. In this work, a novel end-to-end deep auto-encoder is proposed to address unsupervised learning challenges on point clouds. On the encoder side, a graph-based enhancement is enforced to promote local structures on top of PointNet. Then, a novel folding-based decoder deforms a canonical 2D grid onto the underlying 3D object surface of a point cloud, achieving low reconstruction errors even for objects with delicate structures. The proposed decoder only uses about 7% parameters of a decoder with fully-connected neural networks, yet leads to a more discriminative representation that achieves higher linear SVM classification accuracy than the benchmark. In addition, the proposed decoder structure is shown, in theory, to be a generic architecture that is able to reconstruct an arbitrary point cloud from a 2D grid. Our code is available at http://www.merl.com/research/license#FoldingNet.

The karyotype of female and male are 38, XX and 38, XY respectively.
Acupuncture Prophylaxis of Cancer Chemotherapy-Induced Sickness (1989)

In a multi-facet study we evaluated the efficacy of P6 electroacupuncture (10 Hz applied for 5 min) as an antiemetic in patients receiving a variety of cancer chemotherapy drugs. The study involved 130 (15 in an open pilot study, 10 in a randomized placebo controlled crossover study and 105 in a definitive study) patients who had a history of distressing sickness after previous treatment, and who, on the basis of a previous survey, would be expected to have a 96% chance of this with subsequent therapy. Sickness was either completely absent or reduced considerably in 97% of patients and no side effects were encountered. The limited crossover study, using a 'dummy' acupuncture (ACP) point showed that the beneficial effects were limited to the P6 point. Logistic and ethical considerations excluded the possibility of carrying out a larger placebo-controlled study. While in our hands P6 ACP was an effective antiemetic in patients having cancer chemotherapy, because of the time involved and the brevity of the action (8 h) an alternative approach to electro-ACP is required before this technique is adopted clinically.
Integer Programming Approach to the Problem of Optimal Unit Commitment with Probabilistic Reserve Determination (1978)

A method for determining the unit commitment schedule for hydro-thermal systems using extensions and modifications of the Branch and Bound method for Inteler Programming has been developed. Significant features of the method include its computational practicability for realistic systems and proper representation of reserves associated with different risk levels. Contracts relating to power interchange have also been adequately modelled for such an approach.

A new flavone C-glycoside, apigenin 6-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-8-C-beta-L-arabinopyranoside, has been isolated from Viola yedoensis together with the known compounds, apigenin 6,8-di-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, apigenin 6-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-8-C-beta-D-glucopyranoside (isoschaftoside), apigenin 6-C-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-8-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (schaftoside), apigenin 6-C-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-8-C-beta-L-arabinopyranoside (neoschaftoside), apigenin 6,8-di-C-beta-D-glucopyranoside (vicenin-2), apigenin 6-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-8-C-beta-D-xylopyranoside, apigenin 6-C-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-8-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside, luteolin 6-C-beta-D-glucopyranoside (isoorientin) and luteolin 6-C-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-8-C-beta-D-glucopyranoside (isocarlinoside). The structures were determined by spectroscopic methods and new or revised (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectral assignments are proposed for some compounds.
Kommentierung von Artikel 20 Abs. 1-3 GG , IV: Sozialstaatsprinzip (2001)

This critical commentary of the social state principle in the German constitution explores the history of the welfare state, and the emergence of constitutional social state guarantees, rehearsing in particular the Abendroth / Forthoff debate on whether the constitutional principle should have any legal relevance at all, which regains relevance in the recent debates on EU social law and policy. The commentary goes on to contextualise the development of national social state principles in globalisation and Europeanisation of law and policy, adding the development of a European dimension of the social state principles. It provides a critical analysis of the jurisprudence of the German constitutional court, developing concepts such as the constitutional ban of social regression, basing collective bargaining rights on the social state principle, and a feminist analysis of politics of welfare. All this is based on extensive critical literature reviews, offering an original treatise of this important constitutional concept

Purification and partial characterization of a macrophage cytotoxin from Pasteurella haemolytica. (1982)

A protein from Pasteurella haemolytica that was highly immunogenic and toxic toward bovine alveolar macrophages was partially purified. When isolated from culture supernatants of P haemolytica serotype 1 or serotype 6, the protein reacted on Ouchterlony immunodiffusion tests with antisera from 12 serotypes of P haemolytica, but did not cross-react with antisera to serotypes of P multocida. This indicated that the protein may be specific for P haemolytica. Bacteria were grown in dialysis culture in a brain-heart infusion and calf-serum growth medium. The protein was isolated from the medium by ultrafiltration and size-exclusion chromatography and has a molecular weight of approximately 150,000 daltons. The protein, which is highly immunogenic and has the characteristics of a virulence factor, is common to all serotypes of P haemolytica, and may be an effective agent for immunization against P haemolytica in cattle.
