Power Signal Validation for Taiwan Research Reactor (1989)

A personal-computer-based neutron and thermal power validation system has been developed for the Taiwan Research Reactor (TRR). An extended Kalman filter is used to reduce the neutron power signal noise, and an identified neutron power/thermal power empirical model is used instead of a theoretical physical model for the analytic redundancy model. The parity-space technique is adopted to estimate the measurements and identify sensor failure. Performance of the system is evaluated using data from a TRR simulation model and the results show that common-mode failure is successfully identified without additional sensors.
A New Architecture Description Language for Service-Oriented Architec (2007)

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a new form of distributed software architecture. In SOA, the coarse-grained, discoverable, loosely coupled, autonomous services are its basic constitutional units. This makes the SOA different from other architectures for its special architecture elements (services) and its dynamic and evolving structure. How to model this specific architecture and support service-oriented development is an important research field in service-oriented software engineering community. Present modeling technologies for service and SOA tend to be technology-aligned, and the works that try to model and analyze the service and SOA in a higher and more abstract level are relatively rare. This paper proposes SOADL, a new architecture description language for SOA. SOADL specifies the interfaces, behavior, Semantics and quality properties of services, provides mechanisms to model and analyze the dynamic and evolving architecture, and supports architecture-based service composition.
Impact of cessation of smoking on the course of ulcerative colitis (2001)

In smokers with UC who stop smoking, the severity of the disease increases after smoking cessation, with an increase in the disease activity and the need for hospital admission and major medical therapy. In addition, the need for azathioprine therapy becomes similar to that of nonsmokers.
Efficacy of ketotifen in corticosteroid-dependent idiopathic anaphylaxis. (1991)

To assess the potential benefit of ketotifen in the treatment of patients with corticosteroid-dependent idiopathic anaphylaxis, ketotifen was administered in an open trial to nine patients with idiopathic anaphylaxis who required maintenance prednisone for control of their disease. A double-blind trial was not done for reasons of patient safety. After a period of management with prednisone and establishment of the minimal dose of prednisone that controlled idiopathic anaphylaxis, ketotifen was initiated and cautious reduction of prednisone was attempted. The prednisone requirement was not altered in two patients, but prednisone was either substantially reduced or terminated in seven patients. Of these seven, three patients developed recurrent symptoms of idiopathic anaphylaxis after tapering and discontinuation of ketotifen, and ketotifen had to be resumed. The statistical analysis of prednisone reduction was highly significant (P less than .004) and we conclude ketotifen was of significant benefit in seven of nine patients with corticosteroid-dependent idiopathic anaphylaxis.
Numerical simulation of film casting using an updated lagrangian finite element algorithm (2003)

Abstract This paper presents a new numerical algorithm for 2D nonisothermal time‐stepping simulations of a nonlinear viscoelastic cast film process. A significant contribution of the algorithm is that an updated Lagrangian description of motion is employed, as opposed to the more conventional Eulerian description generally used for continuous polymer processing simulations. Furthermore, use is made of a Perzynatype constitutive equation, which is different from what is usually employed for molten polymers. The constitutive equation accommodates viscoelasticity, extensional thinning/thickening, and strain‐hardening. This new numerical algorithm can find the steady‐state film properties, and it can predict the onset of instability by observing draw resonance. The critical draw ratio is determined from the response problem, which means that the mathematical complications of the more common linear stability analysis are avoided. In terms of the stability of the film, it was observed that stability is decreased by extensional thinning, strain‐hardening, and higher relaxation times, and stability is increased by higher heat transfer coefficients and higher ratios of air‐gap length to die width.
Use of International Consultants (1959)

tion training program which is suited to our needs and which grows from our values, aspirations and culture. In this discussion, I am not going to comment in detail about the work and usefulness of international advisors and consultants. It is an accepted fact that they not only provide technical knowledge and advice, but bring freshness, objectivity, enthusiasm, and opportunities for creating better understandings. International consultants are able to bring the support of the social work profession to countries where social work education is a new field and needs to be established.
Risperidone Augmentation of Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders (1997)

Patients with OCD and related disorders are not infrequently refractory to treatment with serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Controlled trials of risperidone augmentation in such patients seem warranted. In particular, it is necessary to determine an appropriate dose range to minimize adverse effects.

Improvement of Resistive Switching Stability of HfO2 Films with Al Doping by Atomic Layer Deposition (2012)

This study investigates an optimized uniformity of Al-doped HfO2 resistive random access memory (RRAM) device. The Al-doped HfO2 RRAM devices in this study exhibit excellent uniformity and stable resistive switching behavior. This is due to the formation of Hf-O-Al bonding to reduce the oxygen vacancy formation energy. An Arrhenius plot shows that the difference in activation energy caused by doping effects can be attributed to a Fermi level shift, which in turn decreases the resistance of the high resistance state. The temperature-dependent retention test makes it possible to predict the data storage capability of the Al-doped HfO2 resistive RRAM device.
Photometric adaptation of Dole's microdetermination of free fatty acids (1965)

The method is based on the measurement of color changes in phenol red barbital buffer in heptane–ethanol. It has been applied to human serum and to incubation media containing fatty acids liberated from rat epididymal adipose tissue. The values obtained were found to agree with those using the titrimetric method, within the limit of experimental error.
Measuring the translatability of Simplified English in procedural documents (1997)

The paper reports the results of a study that tested the translatability of a restricted language, called Simplified English (SE), as used in maintenance procedures in the airline industry. The study examined the effect of document type (SE versus non-SE) and procedure (procedure A versus procedure B) on the quality and ease of translation for native speakers of Spanish, Chinese, or Japanese. The results reveal that SE may be more effectively translated by native Spanish speakers than by Chinese speakers. The paper concludes with a discussion of methodological issues that researchers should consider when running such translation studies.
Superoxide and nitric oxide in senescence and aging (2009)

In this review some aspects of free radical theory of aging are discussed. Many new and interesting findings concerning the role of physiological free radicals superoxide and nitric oxide in senescence and aging development are considered and the mechanisms of processes mediated by these radicals are discussed. It has been known for a long time that being themselves mostly harmless species, superoxide and NO are precursors of really reactive species hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite, the initiators of aging and various pathologies. However, contemporary studies demonstrate the other maybe more important ways of damaging activity of physiological free radicals. Numerous studies show that lessening of NO production and its bioavailability could be a starting point of aging development. It results in a decrease in NO inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase and an increase in dioxygen consumption. That in its turn leads to an increase in the production of superoxide and the other reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and initiation of apoptosis, In conclusion the possibilities of pharmacological intervention with antioxidants and other antiradical procedures to suppress aging and senescence or even to expand the life span of animals are considered.
Understanding circulatory shock (1992)

Circulatory shock comprises a group of complex circulatory syndromes that result from a variety of conditions. It alters the function of most organ systems and has very high mortality. Identification of the type of shock (hypovolemic, cardiogenic, vasogenic, or a combination) and optimal treatment are aided by hemodynamic monitoring, including determination of preload, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance. Experimental studies and isolation of bioactive substances have improved understanding of the mechanisms involved in shock. Restoration of intravascular volume, cardiac contractility, and vascular tone and control of the underlying septic process when applicable are the basis of current therapy. Close monitoring and support of the affected organ systems in an intensive care environment facilitate recovery. Encouraging results with new treatments indicate improved chances for a satisfactory outcome in patients with circulatory shock.
<title>Semirigid and adjustable CFRP membrane for radio telescope applications</title> (2000)

High accuracy, light-weight carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), membrane reflectors have been demonstrated by Composite Optics, Inc. (COI) for applications in ground based, millimeter wave radio astronomy. The surface figure of a semi- rigid membrane can be significantly improved by adjustment with an array of passive adjusters the support the membrane. A factor of ten contour improvement is possible. First, the surface is measured and analyzed for distortion from the desired shape. Then adjustment instructions are calculated by a customized software program and applied to the adjusters. This process is repeated to produce dimensionally stable reflectors, several meters in diameter at or below 25 micrometers RMS.

Preliminary development of the Active Colonoscopy Training Model (2011)

Formal colonoscopy training requires a significant amount of time and effort. In particular, it requires actual patients for a realistic learning experience. The quality of colonoscopy training varies, and includes didactic courses and procedures proctored by skilled surgeons. A colonoscopy training model is occasionally used as part of the training method, but the effects are minute due to both the simple and tedious training procedures. To enhance the educational effect of the colonoscopy training model, the Active Colonoscopy Training Model (ACTM) has been developed. ACTM is an interactive colonoscopy training device which can create the environment of a real colonoscopy procedure as closely as possible. It comprises a configurable rubber colon, a human torso, sensors, a display, and the control part. The ACTM provides audio and visual interaction to the trainee by monitoring important factors, such as forces caused by the distal tip and the shaft of the colonoscope and the pressure to open up the lumen and the localization of the distal tip. On the computer screen, the trainee can easily monitor the status of the colonoscopy, which includes the localization of the distal tip, maximum forces, pressure inside the colon, and surgery time. The forces between the rubber colon and the constraints inside the ACTM are measured and the real time display shows the results to the trainee. The pressure sensors will check the pressure at different parts of the colon. The real-time localized distal tip gives the colonoscopy trainee easier and more confident operation without introducing an additional device in the colonoscope. With the current need for colonoscopists and physicians, the ACTM can play an essential role resolving the problems of the current colonoscopy training model, and significantly improve the training quality of the colonoscopy.

Electrochemically Induced Chemically Reversible Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Reactions of Riboflavin (Vitamin B<sub>2</sub>) (2012)

The electrochemical behavior of the naturally occurring vitamin B(2), riboflavin (Fl(ox)), was examined in detail in dimethyl sulfoxide solutions using variable scan rate cyclic voltammetry (ν = 0.1 - 20 V s(-1)) and has been found to undergo a series of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. At a scan rate of 0.1 V s(-1), riboflavin is initially reduced by one electron to form the radical anion (Fl(rad)(•-)) at E(0)(f) = -1.22 V versus Fc/Fc(+) (E(0)(f) = formal reduction potential and Fc = ferrocene). Fl(rad)(•-) undergoes a homogeneous proton transfer reaction with the starting material (Fl(ox)) to produce Fl(rad)H(•) and Fl(ox)(-), which are both able to undergo further reduction at the electrode surface to form Fl(red)H(-) (E(0)(f) = -1.05 V vs Fc/Fc(+)) and Fl(rad)(•2-) (E(0)(f) = -1.62 V vs Fc/Fc(+)), respectively. At faster voltammetric scan rates, the homogeneous reaction between Fl(rad)(•-) and Fl(ox) begins to be outrun, which leads to the detection of a voltammetric peak at more negative potentials associated with the one-electron reduction of Fl(rad)(•-) to form Fl(red)(2-) (E(0)(f) = -1.98 V vs Fc/Fc(+)). The variable scan rate voltammetric data were modeled quantitatively using digital simulation techniques based on an interconnecting "scheme of squares" mechanism, which enabled the four formal potentials as well as the equilibrium and rate constants associated with four homogeneous reactions to be determined. Extended time-scale controlled potential electrolysis (t > hours) and spectroscopic (EPR and in situ UV-vis) experiments confirmed that the chemical reactions were completely chemically reversible.
Age of the common ancestor of human mitochondrial DNA. (1992)

Studying the evolutionary change of the control region of human (H) and chimpanzee (C) mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs), Vigilant et al. ( 199 1) concluded that the root of the phylogenetic tree for H mtDNAs is located at a sequence from African populations and that the age of the common H ancestral mtDNA is 166,000-249,000 years. Hedges et al. ( 1992) and Templeton ( 1992) challenged the first of these conclusions, showing that valid statistical tests do not support it. In this letter, I would like to show that Vigilant et al.? second conclusion is also questionable and that, if we consider statistical errors associated with the rate of nucleotide substitution, the range of the estimate of the age becomes much wider. In the control region, transitional nucleotide substitution is known to occur at a much higher rate than does transversional substitution, and the transitional differences between the H and C mtDNAs seem to have reached a saturation level at hypervariable sites of this region (Kocher and Wilson 199 1) . Vigilant et al. therefore used information on the transversional differences between H and C and the transition/ transversion ratio obtained from H data, to calibrate the rate of nucleotide substitution. Let n be the number of transversional differences between H and C, and let R be the ratio of transitional (s) and transversional (v) substitutions observed among H sequences. [ Hasegawa and Horai ( 199 1) suggested that R may be different between H and C, but K. Tamura’s (personal communication ) detailed analysis indicates that it is essentially the same for the two species. Here I consider only H data, following Vigilant et al.] The expected total number of nucleotide substitutions between H and C can then be estimated by n +nR. So, if the total number of nucleotides examined is m, then the total number of nucleotide substitutions, per site, between H and C is given by

Ils sont différents en ceci qu’il importe que celui qui porte témoignage d’un événement passé le rapporte avec autant d’exactitude que possible et puisse être cru ; en revanche, lorsqu’on saisit le témoin dans le présent de l’événement, l’enjeu est moins celui du rapport à la vérité que du rapport à l’action.

Light interactions with gold nanorods and cells : implications in nanotherapeutics (2011)

Gold nanorods (AuNR) can be tailored to possess an intense and narrow longitudinal plasmon (LP) absorption peak in the far-red to near-infrared wavelength region, where tissue is relatively transparent to light. This makes AuNRs excellent candidates as contrast agents for photoacoustic imaging, and as photothermal therapeutic agents. The favorable optical properties of AuNR which depend on the physical parameters of shape, size and plasmonic coupling effects, are required to be stable during use. We investigate the changes that are likely to occur in these physical parameters in the setting of photothermal therapeutics, and the influence that these changes have on the optical properties and the capacity to achieve target cell death. To this end we study 3 sets of interactions: pulsed light with AuNR, AuNR with cells, and pulsed light with cells incubated with AuNR. In the first situation we ascertain the threshold value of fluence required for photothermal melting or reshaping of AuNR to shorter AuNR or nanospheres, which results in drastic changes in optical properties. In the second situation when cells are exposed to antibody-conjugated AuNR, we observe using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that the particles are closely packed and clustered inside vesicles in the cells. Using dark-field microscopy we show that plasmonic interactions between AuNRs in this situation causes blue-shifting of the LP absorption peak. As a consequence, no direct lethal damage to cells can be inflicted by laser irradiation at the LP peak. On the other hand, using irradiation at the transverse peak (TP) wavelength in the green, at comparative fluences, extensive cell death can be achieved. We attribute this behavior on the one hand to the photoreshaping of AuNR into spheres and on the other hand to clustering of AuNR inside cells. Both effects create sufficiently high optical absorption at 532 nm, which otherwise would have been present at the LP peak. We discuss implications of these finding on the application of these particles in biomedicine.
Vibration and noise in a HDD spindle motor originated from the axial asymmetry of magnetic design (2012)

This research investigates numerically and experimentally the characteristics of axial unbalanced magnetic force (UMF) due to axial asymmetry of magnetic design in the spindle motor of a hard disk drive, and its effect on the acoustic noise and vibration. It shows that the least common multiple (LCM) harmonic of pole and slot of the acoustic noise and vibration are originated from axial UMF. It also shows experimentally that the axially balanced magnetic design can minimize the LCM harmonics in acoustic noise and vibration.
Understanding tire/road stick-slip interactions with embedded rubber force sensors (2012)

Pneumatic tires are widely used for mobile robots and vehicles. Tire/road interactions play an important role in the safe operation and design of these systems. In this paper, we focus on the tire/road contact problem and study the stick-slip interactions between the stationary tire and the firm road. A pressure-sensitive, electric conductive rubber sensor is embedded inside the tire rubber layer to measure the force distributions. We analyze the frictional forces and deformation distributions using a cantilever beam-based modeling approach. The analytical results explain the stick-slip evolution between the tire and the road. The analyses and models are also validated by experiments.
