Fast Unsupervised Incremental Parsing (2007)

This paper describes an incremental parser and an unsupervised learning algorithm for inducing this parser from plain text. The parser uses a representation for syntactic structure similar to dependency links which is well-suited for incremental parsing. In contrast to previous unsupervised parsers, the parser does not use part-of-speech tags and both learning and parsing are local and fast, requiring no explicit clustering or global optimization. The parser is evaluated by converting its output into equivalent bracketing and improves on previously published results for unsupervised parsing from plain text.

Metabolic Clearance and Secretion Rates of Prolactin in the Rat (1971)

Rat prolactin 131I, prepared by a standard method for radioimmunoassay, was given intravenously by constant infusion or by a single injection into anesthetized (Na pentobarbital) intact male rats, and ovariectomized, hypophysectomized or intact female rats. Blood samples were collected at frequent intervals and the serum was assayed for immuno-precipitable prolactin and for total radioactivity. The disappearance curve after a single intravenous injection of rat prolactin in a pituitary homogenate, as measured by radioimmunoassay, was the same as that of the labeled prolactin, indicating that the latter was cleared from the blood in a manner identical to that of the endogenous hormone. The metabolic clearance rate (MCR), denned as the volume of blood cleared of prolactin per unit time, was 1.26 ± 0.08 ml/min by the constant infusion method and 1.2 to 1.46 ml/min by the single injection method. The half-life time for the first exponential (first 10 min after iv injection) of injected rat prolactin ranged fr...

[Pharma-clinics. Medication of the month. Moxonidine (Moxon)]. (2000)

Moxonidine (Moxon, Solvay Pharma) is the first member of a new class of centrally-acting antihypertensive agents. The selective activation of central I1 imidazoline receptors results in an inhibition of peripheral sympathetic activity and produces arterial vasodilatation. Moxonidine is indicated in the treatment of essential arterial hypertension, at a usual daily dose of 0.4 mg (initial dose of 0.2 mg/day), in one administration per day. Its tolerance profile is better than that of other centrally-acting antihypertensive agents which stimulate alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, and similar to that of medications of other classes. As monotherapy, the antihypertensive efficacy of moxonidine is similar to that of most other antihypertensive agents. In case of insufficient response, moxonidine may be associated with other antihypertensive compounds, which leads to a better efficacy with no deterioration of its good tolerance profile.
Release of Fluoride and Other Elements from Light-cured Glass lonomers in Neutral and Acidic Conditions (1993)

The purpose of this study was to measure the release of fluoride, sodium, silicon, calcium, strontium, and aluminum from light-cured glass ionomers. The materials tested were: (1) Baseline VLC thick mix; (2) Baseline VLC thin mix; (3) Fuji Lining LC; (4) Vitrebond; and (5) XR-Ionomer. A conventional glass ionomer, Ketac-FilAplicap, and a silver-reinforced glass ionomer, Ketac-Silver, were used as controls. Each test specimen was first stored for 16 days in de-ionized water, followed by a further 16 days in 0.01 mol/L lactic acid (pH 4.0); both solutions were replaced at predetermined intervals. After that, the specimens were immersed for up to 122 days in de-ionized water. During the immersion, light-cured glass ionomers showed considerable variation in the release of fluoride and other elements. In lactic acid, all cements eluted the matrix-forming cations, aluminum and calcium or strontium. This suggests that light-cured materials are as equally susceptible to erosion as are chemically cured glass ionomers. During the immersion, some of the light-cured materials showed a considerable weight gain.
Optical and magnetic properties of a nonconjugated conducting polymer (1989)

The magnetic and optical properties of a nonconjugated conducting polymer (1,4 cis-polyisoprene) at different doping levels of iodine are discussed in this report. The EPR and static magnetic susceptibility measurements show that cation radical (spin 1/2) species are generated as a consequence of doping. The concentration of the cation radicals increases approximately linearly with the dopant concentration until saturation. The magnetic susceptibility has a Curie-like temperature dependence as anticipated. The optical measurement of doped samples show two absorption peaks—one at ∼4.27 eV and the other at ∼3.3 eV. The first peak is attributed to the excitation of the cation radicals (comparable to ethylene ions) and the second one is interpreted as due to charge transfer between localized states. These results are fully consistent with the electrical properties and the structure of the system.

Modulation Recognition in Continuous Phase Modulation Using Approximate Entropy (2011)

Modulation recognition finds its application in today's cognitive systems ranging from civilian to military installations. Existing modulation classification algorithms include classic likelihood approaches and feature-based approaches. In this study, approximate entropy, a nonlinear method to analyze a time series, is proposed as a unique characteristic of a modulation scheme. It is projected as a robust feature to identify signal parameters such as number of symbol levels, pulse lengths, and modulation indices of a continuous phase modulated (CPM) signal. The method is then extended to classify CPM signals with differing pulse shapes, which include raised cosine and Gaussian pulses with varying roll-off factors and bandwidth-time products, respectively. This approximate entropy feature-based approach results in high classification accuracies for a variety of signals and performs robustly even in the presence of synchronization errors and carrier phase offsets. Results are presented in the form of extensive simulations.
An improved correlation-based anomaly detection approach for condition monitoring data of industrial equipment (2016)

An improved latent correlation anomaly detection (LCAD) method is proposed to detect anomalies from condition monitoring datasets of industrial equipment. Above all, original data were segmented to various work cycles. Then, latent correlation vector (LCV) was used to denote the latent correlation among different parameters. Based on a latent correlation probabilistic model (LCPM), an anomaly detection function (ADF) is formulated to determine the state of equipment. In order to compare this method with previously reported anomaly detection methods, simulated datasets were constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of this method. Another experiment was also conducted to test the applicability of this method based on real flight datasets. Both experiments demonstrated superior accuracy and much lower missing alarm rates of this improved LCAD method.
The Effect of Carnitine on Random-Pattern Flap Survival in Rats (2001)

Carnitine is an endogenous cofactor involved in the transport of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria where they undergo beta-oxidation. Through another reaction, carnitine produces free coenzyme A and reduces the ratio of acetyl-coenzyme A to coenzyme A, thereby enhancing oxidative use of glucose, augmenting adenosine triphosphate synthesis, and reducing lactate production and acidosis. Because of its regulatory action on the energy flow from the different oxidative sources, especially under ischemic conditions, carnitine has been used in cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and chronic renal diseases with satisfactory results. A flap is also a relatively ischemic tissue and may obtain benefit from carnitine. To investigate this, 30 rats were divided into three groups of 10 animals: a control group and two carnitine-treated groups. Random dorsal skin flaps were elevated on the rats. In the control group, no pharmacologic agents were used. Of the two treated groups, group 1 was treated with 50 mg/kg/day carnitine for 1 week and group 2 was treated with 100 mg/kg/day carnitine for 1 week. The areas of flap necrosis were measured in each group. The median areas of flap necrosis of the groups were 12.55, 9.23, and 4.9 cm2, respectively. There was a statistically significant improvement of flap necrosis in carnitine-treated groups compared with the control group (group 2, p = 0.001; group 3, p = 0.000). Furthermore, there was less necrosis in the high-dose carnitine-treated group than the low-dose carnitine-treated group. As a conclusion, carnitine may have a dose-dependent effect to increase flap survival in random skin flaps.
Fast Detection of Instability in Sigma–Delta Modulators Based on Unstable Embedded Limit Cycles (2004)

As a sequel to a previous study (Wong and Ng) on the nonlinear dynamical behavior of low-pass, high-order (order > 2), single-bit /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ modulators with distinct unit-circle noise transfer function zeros, this paper proposes a novel scheme for the fast detection of unstable operation in these modulators under general time-varying input. The scheme is based on the variation of unstable embedded limit-cycle fixed points (which form the bounds beyond which the modulator becomes unstable) versus modulator input amplitude. Deployment of the detection scheme requires simple analog components with possible simplification. The effectiveness of the scheme is demonstrated with numerical examples.
[Correlation between hippocampal mossy fiber sprouting and synaptic reorganization and mechanisms of temporal lobe epilepsy]. (2007)

The ultrastructural features of sprouted mossy fiber synapses support the viewpoint that the reorganization of synapses prominently involves the formation of recurrent excitatory circuits. The axon guidance molecule- netrin-1 plays an important role in the process of mossy fiber axonal outgrowth and synaptogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.
Toward a Visible Light Mediated Photocyclization: Cu-Based Sensitizers for the Synthesis of [5]Helicene (2012)

A photochemical synthesis of [5]helicene employing a copper-based sensitizer 7 has been developed that avoids the disadvantages associated with the traditional UV light mediated method. The visible light mediated synthesis uses common glassware and a simple household light bulb without the competing formation of [2 + 2] cycloadducts, regioisomers, or the overoxidation product benzo[ghi]perylene 3. Preliminary results show that the reaction time can be significantly reduced through the use of a continuous flow strategy.
Handling Workplace Conflict: Why Transformative Mediation? (2001)

The several articles in this Symposium represent a unique and multifaceted examination of the largest workplace conflict mediation program in the United States-the United States Postal Service's ("Postal Service") REDRESS Tm Program. Begun on a pilot basis in 1994 as part of the settlement of a class-action discrimination lawsuit, REDRESST was subsequently expanded to a nationwide program for mediation of discrimination claims, available to all of the Postal Service's over 800,000 employees. However, it is not only the size of the REDRESSTM Program that makes it a remarkable development in the field of workplace conflict resolution-and the field of mediation generally. Equally significant is the fact that the Postal Service decided to employ a specific model of mediation within the program, called "transformative mediation."
Sexual Dimorphism in Vocal Control Areas of the Songbird Brain (1976)

In canaries and zebra finches, three vocal control areas in the brain are strikingly larger in males than in females. A fourth, area X of the lobus parolfactorius, is well developed in males of both species, less well developed in femal canaries, and absent or not recognizable in femal zebra finches. These size differences correlate well with differences in singing behavior. Males of both species learn song by reference to auditory information, and females do not normally sing. Exogenous testosterone induces singing in female canaries but not in female zebra finches. This is believed to be the first report of such gross sexual dimorphism in a vertebrate brain.
A Recurrent Network Model of Somatosensory Parametric Working Memory in the Prefrontal Cortex (2003)

A parametric working memory network stores the information of an analog stimulus in the form of persistent neural activity that is monotonically tuned to the stimulus. The family of persistent firing patterns with a continuous range of firing rates must all be realizable under exactly the same external conditions (during the delay when the transient stimulus is withdrawn). How this can be accomplished by neural mechanisms remains an unresolved question. Here we present a recurrent cortical network model of irregularly spiking neurons that was designed to simulate a somatosensory working memory experiment with behaving monkeys. Our model reproduces the observed positively and negatively monotonic persistent activity, and heterogeneous tuning curves of memory activity. We show that fine-tuning mathematically corresponds to a precise alignment of cusps in the bifurcation diagram of the network. Moreover, we show that the fine-tuned network can integrate stimulus inputs over several seconds. Assuming that such time integration occurs in neural populations downstream from a tonically persistent neural population, our model is able to account for the slow ramping-up and ramping-down behaviors of neurons observed in prefrontal cortex.
Auto-transform (2020)

Data Transformation is a long-standing problem in data management. Recent work adopts a "transform-by-example" (TBE) paradigm to infer transformation programs based on user-provided input/output examples, which greatly improves usability, and brought such features into mainstream software like Microsoft Excel, Power BI, and Trifacta. While TBE is great progress, the need for users to provide paired input/output examples still poses limits on its applicability. In this work, we study an alternative that transforms data based on input/output data patterns only (without paired examples). We term this new paradigm transform-by-patterns (TBP). Specifically, we demonstrate that there is a rich class of transformations in TBP that can be "learned" from large collections of paired table columns. We show the proposed method can harvest such transformations across diverse domains and corpora (e.g., in different languages such as English, Chinese, Spanish, etc.). TBP transformations so obtained can be used in scenarios such as suggesting data-repairs in tables, or automating transformations in ETL pipelines. Extensive experiments on real data suggest that TBP outperforms existing methods on tasks such as data repairs, and is a promising direction for future research.

The Effects of Query-Based Sampling on Automatic Database Selection Algorithms (2000)

Database selection algorithms need to know the subject areas covered by each text database, but this metadata can be difficult to acquire in multi-party environments, such as the Internet, where each party has different interests and capabilities. Query-based sampling is a relatively new technique in which metadata is inferred by interacting with each text database and observing the outcomes. Query-based sampling has been proposed as a solution to the problem of discovering the contents of each database in multi-party environments, but its generality and effectiveness had not been tested under a wide range of conditions. This paper investigates the generality and effectiveness of query-based sampling with three well-known database selection algorithms (gGlOSS, CORI, CVV). Experimental results support the generality of query-based sampling as a solution for acquiring database descriptions in multi-party environments. The experiments also compare the effectiveness of the database selection algorithms under different conditions. 1

False contour reduction using directional dilation and edge-preserving filtering (2006)

As display devices have become larger, false contour artifacts invisible in small displays have appeared visible. False contours are artifacts that appear as step edges in relatively smooth regions of an image, mostly caused by image quantization. In this paper, a new false contour reduction algorithm of still images is proposed using directional dilation and edge-preserving filtering. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: false contour detection, false contour map expansion, and edge-preserving false contour reduction. In the first step, pixels to be processed are detected and in the second step the processing area is expanded using the proposed directional dilation. Finally, only the pixels selected in the first two steps are filtered, in which edge-preserving filtering using multi-dimensional weight functions is employed. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with those of two existing methods. Experimental results in various aspects show that the proposed algorithm efficiently reduces false contours
Computational intelligent for reservoir management (2004)

Reservoir characterization plays a crucial role in modern reservoir management. It helps to make sound reservoir decisions and improves the asset value of the oil and gas companies. It maximizes integration of multidisciplinary data and knowledge and improves the reliability of the reservoir predictions. The ultimate product is a reservoir model with realistic tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty. Soft computing aims to exploit such a tolerance for solving practical problems. In reservoir characterization, these intelligent techniques can be used for uncertainty analysis, risk assessment, data fusion and data mining which are applicable to feature extraction from seismic attributes, well logging, reservoir mapping and engineering. The main goal is to integrate soft data such as geological data with hard data such as 3D seismic and production data to build a reservoir and stratigraphic model. While some individual methodologies (esp. neurocomputing) have gained much popularity during the past few years, the true benefit of soft computing lies on the integration of its constituent methodologies rather than use in isolation.
Delayed toxicity of cyclophosphamide in normal mice. (1987)

Delayed toxicity of a single dose of 300 mg/kg cyclophosphamide (CP) was investigated in female DBA/2 mice. Lethality was low up to 30 days but increased markedly afterwards reaching a peak of 50% between 50-70 days with a total mortality of more than 80% by day 120 after CP. One week before death, the mice suffered a sharp loss of weight and showed typical signs of wasting disease. There was a decrease in the white cell count and lymphocyte neutrophil ratio was reversed as a result of lymphocyte depletion whereas neutrophil count remained similar to the controls. Profound lymphocyte depletion was also observed in light and electron microscopy preparations of thymus from mice with CP-induced wasting disease. Histochemical methods demonstrated increased activity of four lysosomal enzymes, acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, E600 resistant esterase and n-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, in the thymus of treated mice. Acid phosphatase was notably active in thymus epithelial cells; the reaction product was localized in multiple primary Golgi lysosomes, Golgi cisternae, cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, and secondary lysosomes. The appearance of numerous cystic formations, as well as the activation of the lysosomal system and the presence of large areas of degradation support the assumption that CP-delayed toxicity is accompanied by thymus involution. Delayed mortality was partially prevented when syngenic bone marrow cells were injected as early as 24 h after CP injection. On the other hand thymus transplants were incapable of reducing delayed lethality. It is suggested that CP provokes a delayed wasting syndrome with thymic involution that is not caused by a direct effect on specific thymus structures but rather secondary to a primary injury to pre T cells in bone marrow.
