On the Music of Emergent Behavior: What Can Evolutionary Computation Bring to the Musician? (2003)

In this article, the author focuses on issues concerning musical composition practices in which emergent behavior is used to generate musical material, musical form or both. The author gives special attention to the potential of cellular automata and adaptive imitation games for music-making. The article begins by presenting two case-study systems, followed by an assessment of their role in the composition of a number of pieces. It then continues with a discussion in which the author suggests that adaptive imitation games may hold the key to fostering more effective links between evolutionary computation paradigms and creative musical processes.

New Field Method to Determine Streamflow Timing Using Electrical Resistance Sensors (2002)

Electrical resistance (ER) sensors were constructed to monitor streambed saturation to infer ephemeral streamflow timing. The sensors were evaluated in an ephemeral stream through comparison with temperature-based methods, a stream gauge, and soil water content sensors. The ER sensors were more accurate at estimating streamflow timing and the resultant data required less interpretation than data from temperature-based methods. Accuracy was equivalent to timing methods using stream gauge and soil water content measurements. The ER sensors are advantageous for use in ephemeral stream channels because they are inexpensive, deployable above or below the sediment surface, insensitive to depth, and do not require connecting wires to an external datalogger or power source. On the basis of these results, we conclude that ER sensors may be used to monitor changes in soil water content within the vadose zone. Additionally, the sensors can be used to infer the presence of surface water in diversion canals, storm-water sewers, and in the form of overland runoff.
Biosynthes is of nocardicin A by Nocardia uniformis subsp. tsuyamanensis. II. Isolation of new nocardicins from Nocardia uniformis subsp. tsuyamanensis. (1977)

The nocardicin A-producing strain, Nocardia uniformis subsp. tsuyamanensis ATCC 21806, was found to produce five new antibiotics named nocardicins C, D, E, F, and G together with nocardicins A and B. These antibiotics were isolated from the culture broth by solvent extraction and column chromatography, and identified as new nocardicin-type antibiotics on the basis of physicochemical data.

Aerodynamic analysis of the Vulcain 2 LOX Turbine Manifold (2008)

Turbomachinery components used in rocket engines are submitted to extreme aerothermal loads. To ensure the safe operation of the turbine rotor, the sources of aerodynamic unsteadiness must be identified and quantified. The present investigation addresses the aerodynamic flow field in the turbine manifold and nozzle guide vanes of the Vulcain 2 LOX turbine, time-averaged numerical and experimental surveys are presented. A specific test rig was designed to allow both steady and unsteady cold flow traverses. Micro-thermocouples, pneumatic and piezo-resistive probes were used to monitor the total temperature, static and total pressure. The unsteady pressure data in the manifold and vane outlet exhibit a dominant frequency corresponding to the vortex shedding originating from the upstream regulation valve. The cross-correlation of the raw unsteady pressure revealed a perturbation travelling at sonic speeds upstream of the core flow in the manifold. The dominant frequencies and harmonics amplitudes of the fluctuations downstream of the supersonic nozzle are quantified using sliding time windows at various locations along the circumferential direction.
A semi-analytical bivariate Gaussian model of the approximation error impact on the Min-Sum LDPC decoding algorithm (2013)

In this paper, a new theoretical model that describes the impact of the approximation error on the decisions taken by LDPC decoders is discussed. In particular, the theoretical model extends previous results and reconstructs the mechanism, by means of which the approximation error alters the decisions of the decoding algorithm, with respect to the decisions taken by the optimal decoding algorithm, namely Log Sum-Product. We focus on the most popular algorithm for LDPC decoding, namely Min-Sum and its also popular modifications, normalized and offset Min-Sum. The model is applied to all of these decoding algorithms, which are actually approximations of the Log Sum-Product. Moreover a method that exploits the output of the proposed model in order to estimate the decoding performance is also proposed. Finally, experimental results prove the validity of both the proposed model and the method, demonstrating the usefulness of this contribution towards achieving accurate decoding behavior prediction without relying on time-consuming simulations.
On the cup anemometer working condition monitoring (2015)

The analysis of the harmonic terms related to the rotational speed of a cup anemometer is a way to detect
anomalies such as wear and tear, rotor non-symmetries (rotor damage) or problems at the output signal system.
The research already done in this matter at the IDR/UPM Institute is now taken to cup anemometers working on
the field. A 1-2 year testing campaign is being carried out in collaboration with Kintech Engineering. 2 Thies First
Class Advanced installed at 58 m and 73 m height in a meteorology tower are constantly monitored. The results
will be correlated to the anemometer performance evolution studied through several calibrations planned to be
performed along the testing campaign.
Inferring Analogous Attributes (2014)

The appearance of an attribute can vary considerably from class to class (e.g., a "fluffy" dog vs. a "fluffy" towel), making standard class-independent attribute models break down. Yet, training object-specific models for each attribute can be impractical, and defeats the purpose of using attributes to bridge category boundaries. We propose a novel form of transfer learning that addresses this dilemma. We develop a tensor factorization approach which, given a sparse set of class-specific attribute classifiers, can infer new ones for object-attribute pairs unobserved during training. For example, even though the system has no labeled images of striped dogs, it can use its knowledge of other attributes and objects to tailor "stripedness" to the dog category. With two large-scale datasets, we demonstrate both the need for category-sensitive attributes as well as our method's successful transfer. Our inferred attribute classifiers perform similarly well to those trained with the luxury of labeled class-specific instances, and much better than those restricted to traditional modes of transfer.
Advanced High Power Amplifier Chain for X-Band T/R-Modules based on GaN MMICs (2006)

Power amplifiers for a next generation of T/R-modules in future active array antennas are realized as monolithically integrated circuits on the bases of novel AlGaN/GaN HEMT structures. Both, driver and high power amplifiers are designed for X-band frequencies. The monolithically integrated circuits (MMICs) are designed, simulated and fabricated using a novel via-hole microstrip technology. Output power levels of 1.6 W (32 dBm) for the driver amplifier (DA) and 20 W (43 dBm) for the high power amplifier (HPA) are measured. An amplifier chain circuitry, with mounted GaN DA and HPA MMICs, is designed based on a multi-layer LTCC technology

Identification d'un allergène de Schistosoma Mansoni (1990)

Les IgE jouent un role important lors des mecanismes effecteurs et protecteurs vis-a-vis d'une infection a Schistosoma mansoni. Le clonage moleculaire des antigenes cibles de cette reponse anticorps est donc necessaire afin de caracteriser des antigenes potentiellement protecteurs. A partir d'une banque d'ADNc realisee dans le vecteur lambda Gt11 a partir d'ARNm de ver adulte, trois clones ont ete selectionnes comme fortement reconnus par les IgE des serums d'infection de rats. Le travail, presente dans cette these concerne la caracterisation et le sequencage de l'un des clones, nomme 3. 2. Celui-ci possede un insert de 2553 pb et synthetise une proteine recombinante fusionnee a la b-galactosidase de 190 kda. L'insert contient deux sites ecori internes. Le fragment interne de 1317 pb est homologue a la sequence partielle de la paramyosine de S. Mansoni decrite comme une molecule potentiellement vaccinante (lanar et al. , 1986). Le clone 3. 2. Presente une sequence presque complete de la paramyosine, les extremites n et c terminales etant absentes. La sequence proteique deduite du clone 3. 2. Presente une periodicite structurale caracteristique d'une super helice alpha. La proteine de fusion exprimee est reconnue par les IgE de serums d'infection de rats et humains et induit chez le rat une reponse IgG et IgE dirigee contre la proteine native de S. Mansoni
Stabilizing controllers using observers for uncertain systems with delays (2001)

In this paper, we study the problem of designing stabilizing controllers using observers for a class of uncertain systems with state and input delays. The uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. By employing a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, it is proven that the closed-loop observer-based controlled system is asymptotically stable. The observer and state feedback controllers are determined by solving two linear matrix inequalities which are independent of the delay factors. A simulation example is given to illustrate the theoretical developments.
Induction of the type I interferon response in neurological forms of Gaucher disease (2016)

Our results imply that the type I interferon response is involved in the development of nGD pathology, and possibly in other lysosomal storage diseases in which simple glycosphingolipids accumulate, and support the notion that interferon signaling pathways play a vital role in the sterile inflammation that often occurs during chronic neurodegenerative diseases in which neuroinflammation is present.

Microsurgical Ablative Procedures in the Peripheral Nerves and Dorsai Root Entry Zone for Relief of Focal Spasticity in the Limbs (1990)

When spasticity is harmful and localized in the limb(s), ablative procedures in the peripheral nerves or the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) can be useful. The authors report on the long-term results of (1) selective tibial neurotomy in a series of 62 spastic feet, and (2) microsurgical DREZ-tomy in a series of 69 patients affected with hyperspasticity in the entire upper or lower limb(s).
The HAS-BLED Score Identifies Patients with Acute Venous Thromboembolism at High Risk of Major Bleeding Complications during the First Six Months of Anticoagulant Treatment (2015)

Acute VTE patients with a HAS-BLED score ≥ 3 points are at increased risk of major bleeding. These results warrant for correction of the potentially reversible risk factors for major bleeding and careful International Normalized Ratio monitoring in acute VTE patients with a high HAS-BLED score.
Brain Reserpine Levels Following Large and Small Doses of Reserpine-H3 (1958)

Summary(1) Reserpine randomly labeled with tritium had a time-concentration relationship in liver and brain similar to that observed for reserpine labeled with C14 in the TMBA moiety. (2) Throughout and beyond the entire period of observable pharmacological response, reserpine was found to be present in brain and liver. (3) The concentration of reserpine in the brain varied little during the entire period of observable activity and bore no relationship to the intensity of response. (4) The material present in the brain was indistinguishable from reserpine by paper chromatography.
The DBCLS BioHackathon: standardization and interoperability for bioinformatics web services and workflows (2010)

Web services have become a key technology for bioinformatics, since life science databases are globally decentralized and the exponential increase in the amount of available data demands for efficient systems without the need to transfer entire databases for every step of an analysis. However, various incompatibilities among database resources and analysis services make it difficult to connect and integrate these into interoperable workflows. To resolve this situation, we invited domain specialists from web service providers, client software developers, Open Bio* projects, the BioMoby project and researchers of emerging areas where a standard exchange data format is not well established, for an intensive collaboration entitled the BioHackathon 2008. The meeting was hosted by the Database Center for Life Science (DBCLS) and Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC) and was held in Tokyo from February 11th to 15th, 2008. In this report we highlight the work accomplished and the common issues arisen from this event, including the standardization of data exchange formats and services in the emerging fields of glycoinformatics, biological interaction networks, text mining, and phyloinformatics. In addition, common shared object development based on BioSQL, as well as technical challenges in large data management, asynchronous services, and security are discussed. Consequently, we improved interoperability of web services in several fields, however, further cooperation among major database centers and continued collaborative efforts between service providers and software developers are still necessary for an effective advance in bioinformatics web service technologies.

Blood flow measurement system for fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of chorionic plate anastomosing vessels (FLPC) (2009)

Fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of chorionic plate anastomosing vessels (FLPC) applies to the treatment of previable fetuses with severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). The ultimate goal of FLPC is selective blood flow interruption of anastomotic communicating vessels on the placenta fetoscopically. However, there has not been an established method to confirm that the blood flow is blocked, thus, it depends on the operator's experience or intuition to evaluate whether the FLPC was performed successfully or not. For this issue, we have developed a composite-type optical fiberscope (2.2 mm in diameter), which has centrally-located cautery laser fiber and surrounding located fiberglasses for viewing. This fiberscope enables transmission of 50 W Yb fiber laser which can be focused to 10 mm focal length using two lenses on the fiberscope tip. In this study, we combined the fiberscope and a laser blood-flow meter, and irradiated cautery laser to porcine mesenteric vein with measuring blood flow at the same time. From the experimental results, we could quantitatively measure the blood flow before and after laser irradiation, and confirm the blood flow blocking with our system.

Evaluating rotating slant-hole SPECT with respect to parallel hole SPECT (2002)

The objective of this project was to comparatively evaluate the image quality of rotating slant-hole (RSH) SPECT versus parallel beam SPECT. RSH collimators provide a means for increasing SPECT sensitivity at a volume of interest (VOI), such as the breast or heart. However RSH has an asymmetric geometric response function (GRF) and requires fully-3D reconstruction. A series of phantom simulations were performed to study overall image quality in terms of contrast, resolution, and noise. A cardiac phantom experiment was also performed to evaluate myocardial uniformity and to make an overall assessment of visual image quality. Simulation results demonstrated very similar contrast and resolution for RSH and parallel beam reconstructed images when compensations were made for attenuation and detector response. For the same acquisition time, the normalized standard deviation of the VOI in the reconstructed images of a uniform phantom was found to be 1.31 times higher for parallel beam than for RSH. The reconstructed cardiac phantoms using RSH were and found to give improved results compared to parallel hole SPECT. These results show that the increased detection; efficiency and improved noise properties of RSH can make it a good choice for cardiac imaging.

<title>Multiport backside-illuminated CCD imagers for high-frame-rate camera applications</title> (1994)

Two multiport, second-generation CCD imager designs have been fabricated and successfully tested. They are a 16-port 512 X 512 array and a 32-port 1024 X 1024 array. Both designs are back illuminated, have on-chip CDS, lateral blooming control, and use a split vertical frame transfer architecture with full frame storage. The 512 X 512 device has been operated at rates over 800 frames per second. The 1024 X 1024 device has been operated at rates over 300 frames per second. The major changes incorporated in the second-generation design are, reduction in gate length in the output area to give improved high-clock-rate performance, modified on-chip CDS circuitry for reduced noise, and optimized implants to improve performance of blooming control at lower clock amplitude. This paper discusses the imager design improvements and presents measured performance results at high and moderate frame rates. The design and performance of three moderate frame rate cameras are discussed.
Race and clinical outcome in breast cancer in a series with long-term follow-up evaluation. (1997)

In this large group of uniformly treated breast cancer patients, race was not an independent factor that influenced outcome. The racial differences seen between 1980 and 1987 are likely because of a larger percent of greater than 2-cm and node-positive tumors in AA patients. Education and access to early diagnosis should reduce or eliminate the racial differences seen.
Correlation Studies on a Prototype Color-Measurement System (1983)

Abstract : A joint US Army Natick Laboratories-Defense Personnel Support Center prototype color-measuring system, which consists of an Applied Color Systems Spectro Sensor at each installation, was evaluated for individual repeatability and for correlation between the two instruments. The samples (20 fabric swatches, 15 porcelain tiles and a color-difference pair) were measured for short-term (10 days) and long-term (5 to 10 weeks) repeatability. Each instrument was found to show a repeatability (as determined by the mean color difference from the mean (MCDM)) of 0.14 color difference units or less for the two time periods studied. The largest color difference observed between the two instruments for these samples was 0.18 color difference units. Measurement of the color-difference pair, as well as measurements in the infrared region (up to 900 nm), gave similar results. The repeatability exhibited by the two instruments and the correlation of their measurements is considered to be quite good and the system should be suitable for the needs of the Defense Department.
Selection for Cold Germination in Two Corn Populations<sup>1</sup> (1979)

Tolerance of corn ( Zea mays L.) to low temperature conditions after planting requires rapid germination, vigorous seedling growth, and resistance to disease and insect pests. A selection scheme designed to improve cold tolerance in breeding material was initiated in two breeding populations, Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic (SSCG) and Pioneer Cold Tolerant Synthetic (CTCG). Laboratory and field selection were employed in the procedure. Seedlings developed from the first seeds to germinate at 7.2 C in the laboratory (20% selected) were transplanted to the field, selected for agronomic traits, and self‐pollinated. The selfed progenies were recombined in winter nurseries to initiate the next cycle of selection in the laboratory. Regression analyses of the four cycles of selection indicated that cold germination under laboratory conditions (7.2 C) improved 8.8 and 9.9% per cycle in CTCG and SSCG, respectively. In the field, however, little improvement was observed in emergence or seedling vigor. The lack of correlation between laboratory and field results for these cold‐tolerant traits was attributed to mild spring weather during the 2 years of evaluation. Selection for germination at cold temperatures did not have any detrimental effects on other agronomic traits measured in the populations.
