Spatio-temporal analysis of state-of-charge streams for electric vehicles (2015)

This paper collects the SoC (State-of-Charge) changes of electric vehicles and analyzes the battery consumption behavior. For multiple SoC streams generated on the same road, a Hadoop Pig script filters essential information fields out of the vast amount of SoC records, while its user-defined function adds the distance and the time taken from the start point. Next, neural networks are built to trace the SoC dynamics according to both spatial and temporal aspects of SoC records using the R statistics package. A time-combined model reduces the fitting error by 50 %, compared with the distance-only model. The ongoing project keeps accumulating SoC streams and our model will investigate the effect of other parameters and correlate different streams. An accurate model for major roads taken by most trips, will lead to a more efficient estimation of battery consumption for any point-to-point routes.
Endovascular Therapy for Stroke — It's about Time (2015)

Although many stroke centers worldwide have performed endovascular stroke therapy since the results of the Prolyse in Acute Cerebral Thromboembolism (PROACT) II trial were published in 1999,1 lingering uncertainties about efficacy and the selection of patients created an uneasy equipoise. Especially nettlesome was the uncertain benefit of endovascular therapy as compared with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). The controversy over endovascular therapy was heightened in 2013 when the results of the Interventional Management of Stroke (IMS) III,2 Mechanical Retrieval and Recanalization of Stroke Clots Using Embolectomy (MR RESCUE),3 and Local versus Systemic Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke (SYNTHESIS Expansion)4 clinical . . .

Adhesive interface interactions between primary aliphatic amine surface conditioners and polyamic acid/polyimide resins (1982)

Abstract The interface reactions of 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane treated surfaces, with the polyamic acid/polyimide resin formed from pyromellitic dianhydride and oxydianiline, were defined in bulk reactant systems and by FTIR analysis on the surface layers of germanium internal reflection plates. Adhesion between these interfacial layers is the result of chemical bonding, which proceeds through initial carboxylate salt formation between the amino function of the silylated surface and the car‐boxylic acid present in the polyamic acid. Heating results in dehydration and amide formation, which is followed by preferential incorporation of the alkyl, surface‐bound amine (stronger base), over the aromatic polymer amine, in an imide linkage. Aromatic imides formed before or during thermal curing may also be preferentially opened in a modified Ing‐Manske reaction and reclosed to the more stable surface‐bound alkylimide. Apparently polymer scission at the aromatic amide linkages occurs in this adhesion process, preferentially bonding surface‐bound alkyl amines to one end of a shortened polymer chain.
Institution-wide program for impaired residents at a major teaching hospital (1988)

An institution-wide program for residents impaired by alcohol, other drugs, or emotional problems was established in 1983 at the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals. The goal of the program was to help impaired house staff members to continue their training in a nonpunitive environment. An approach to reviewing allegations of impairment and a legal agreement between the hospital and the recovering resident were implemented. Because no residents were reported for impairment during its first two years, the program's emphasis was shifted from an investigative to an educational, assistive role. Major problems in carrying out the program have been the program's lack of authority to ensure cooperation by program directors and by impaired residents; a widespread unfamiliarity with intervention procedures despite efforts to inform residents, their spouses, faculty members, and administrators about the program; and misconceptions that the program is punitive. Further impediments are lack of a budget to provide educational activities, inadequate socializing between the faculty and the house staff that would enable faculty members to recognize early signs of impairment; and inadequate health insurance coverage for long-term treatment.

A New Hashing Method with Application for Game Playing1 (1990)

A general method of hash coding is described together with an application for programs which play board games such as checkers, chess, and Go. An auxiliary method which detects retrieval errors is proposed. The error rate can be precisely controlled depending upon how much space in the hash table i s devoted to the auxiliary method.
Contraceptive practice among American women, 1973-1982. (1985)

During the decade 1973-1982, use of oral contraceptives declined sharply among wives aged 15-44, although the total number of pill users did not decrease after 1979. This drop occurred in all groups of wives examined. At the same time, the prevalence of female contraceptive sterilization rose sharply; this increase occurred mainly among wives aged 35 and older and, of course, among all wives intending no more children. Among other subgroups of married women, the fall in pill use was complemented by a smaller rise in the use of barrier methods--the condom and diaphragm, in particular. The contraceptive status and method choices of never-married and previously married women differed sharply from those of wives as of 1982. Sexually active never-married women were less likely than married women to practice contraception and were more likely to choose the pill when they did. Previously married women were also less likely than wives to practice contraception but, when using a method, were more likely than either never-married or currently married users to depend on one of the more effective methods--sterilization, the pill or the IUD.
Condition and Accuracy of Algorithms for Computing Schur Coefficients of Toeplitz Matrices (1994)

A formula for the condition number of Schur coefficients of a positive definite Toeplitz matrix is obtained and an efficient algorithm for computing the condition number is given. New bounds of backward roundoff errors in Schur and Levinson algorithms for computing Schur coefficients are presented. These bounds, together, with the condition number, provide a posteriors estimate of the error in computed Schur coefficients. Numerical comparison of Schur and Levinson algorithms with the $LDL^T $ algorithm also indicates their forward stability.
Neuroprotective effects of 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid on hydrogen peroxide-induced cell death in SH-SY5Y cells (2005)

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathological processes of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. The neuroprotective effects of 3,5-diCQA and 3,4-diCQA, two caffeoylquinic acid derivatives present in Dipsacus asper, on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced neuronal cell damage were evaluated in this study.SH-SY5Y cells treated with H2O2 exhibited a decrease in survival and intracellular glutathione and also an increase in the caspase-3 activity. However, pretreatment of cells with 3,5-diCQA attenuated the neuronal death and caspase-3 activation induced by H2O2. In addition, 3,5-diCQA restored H2O2-induced depletion of intracellular glutathione. 3,5-diCQA showed significant protective effects although it could not completely suppress H2O2-induced cell injury to control levels. The data suggest that 3,5-diCQA might be a potential therapeutic agent for treating or preventing neurodegenerative diseases implicated with oxidative stress.
Urease Inhibitor Application Stages and Nitrogen Levels Influenced on Morpo-Phenological Traits of Wheat Cultivars (2015)

A field trial was carried out at New Developmental Farm of The University Agriculture, Peshawar, Pakistan during winter 2012-13, in order to study the urease inhibitor application stages and nitrogen levels influenced on morpo-phenological traits of wheat cultivars.Therefore the field experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with split plot arrangement having four replications.Nitrogen levels (60, 120 and 150 kg ha -1 ) and urease inhibitor stages (100% sowing stage, 50% sowing stage + 50% booting stage and 100% booting stage) were allotted to main plots, while wheat cultivars (Siran and Atta Habib) were allotted to sub plots.Plots treated with 120 kg N ha -1 took maximum days to booting (128), improved plant height (97.9 cm), leaf area tiller -1 (117.8 cm 2 ), spike length (11.3 cm) and biological yield (10382 kg ha -1 ) but maximum (185) days to maturity was observed when plots treated with 150 kg N ha -1 as compared with control plots.Application of urease inhibitor 100% at sowing stage took maximum booting (133) days, maturity (186) days, improved plant height (102 cm), leaf area tiller -1 (128 cm 2 ), spike length (11.6 cm) and biological yield (11386 kg ha -1 ) as compared with urease application 100% at booting stage.Wheat cultivar Siran had significantly took maximum booting (123) days, maturity (178) days, plant height (94.5 cm), leaf area tiller -1 (97.6 cm 2 ), spike length (10.3 cm) and biological yield (9331 kg ha -1 ) as compared to Atta Habib.Hence cultivar Siran treated with 120 kg N ha -1 and coated urease inhibitor 100% at sowing stage produced the best results in terms of plant height, leaf area tiller -1 , physiological maturity and biological yield.
Design and construction of a precision tubular linear motor and controller (2004)

A design for a novel tubular high-precision direct-drive brushless linear motor has been developed. The novelty of the design lies in the orientation of the magnets in the mover. In conventional linear motors the magnets of the armature are arranged such that the attractive poles are adjacent throughout, in an NS-NS-NS orientation, where N denotes the north pole and S denotes the south pole of the magnet. In the new design, the magnets in the moving part are oriented in an NS-NS-SN-SN orientation. This change in orientation yields greater magnetic field intensity near the like-pole region. The magnets of the mover are encased within a brass tube, which slides through a three-phase array of current-carrying coils. As the coils are powered, they induce a force on the permanent magnets according to the Lorentz force equation. The primary advantages of the motor are its compact nature, fast, precise positioning due to its low-mass moving part, direct actuation, extended travel range, and ability to extend beyond its base. The linear motor is used in conjunction with a position sensor, power amplifiers, and a controller to form a complete solution for positioning and actuation requirements. \nControllers were developed for two applications, with a lead-lag as the backbone of each. For the first application, the principal requirements are for fast rise and settling times. For the second application, the primary requirement is for near-zero overshoot. With the controller for application 1, the motor has a rise time of 55 ms, a settling time of 600 ms, and 65% overshoot. With the controller for application 2 implemented, the motor has a rise time of 1 s, a settling time of 2.5 s, and 0.2% overshoot. The maximum force capability of the motor is measured to be 26.4 N. The positioning resolution is 35 ?m. This thesis discusses the motor's physical design, construction, implementation, testing, and tuning. It includes specifications of the components of the motor and other necessary equipment, desired and actual motor performance, and the primary limitations on the precision of the system.
ANZACS: Putting the Story Back in History (1986)

The screening of the television m1m-series, Anzacs, took place in Australia in November, 1985. Admired by the popular press and successful in the ratings, it was ridiculed by most of the 'quality' press as a melodramatic exercise in 'Pommy-bashing' which played fast and loose with the true history of World War I. 1 Anything but a low-key docu-drama, Anzacs is full of action, peopled with a rich cast of fictional characters, and, despite an episodic structure, a narrative in the tradition of the 'ripping yarn'. Its use and deployment of history, however, is not to be easily dismissed: firstly, because it is both deliberate and polemical, and, secondly, because it plays a crucial role in the program's objective of contributing not just to television ratings but to Australia's sense of itself.
Hydrogen sulfide plasma passivation of gallium arsenide (1992)

Improvement in the electrical properties of the GaAs surface has been accomplished using a room-temperature hydrogen sulfide plasma. The surface has then been protected by a 300 °C plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) SiO2 film. This treatment is highly reproducible due to computer control of process parameters and long-lasting due to the SiO2 cap. Improved C-V characteristics were observed, showing interface trap densities in the high 1011 cm−2 eV−1 range. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements on the sulfided samples showed increased intensity over the untreated samples.
A Closed-Form Solution to Tensor Voting: Theory and Applications (2011)

We prove a closed-form solution to tensor voting (CFTV): Given a point set in any dimensions, our closed-form solution provides an exact, continuous, and efficient algorithm for computing a structure-aware tensor that simultaneously achieves salient structure detection and outlier attenuation. Using CFTV, we prove the convergence of tensor voting on a Markov random field (MRF), thus termed as MRFTV, where the structure-aware tensor at each input site reaches a stationary state upon convergence in structure propagation. We then embed structure-aware tensor into expectation maximization (EM) for optimizing a single linear structure to achieve efficient and robust parameter estimation. Specifically, our EMTV algorithm optimizes both the tensor and fitting parameters and does not require random sampling consensus typically used in existing robust statistical techniques. We performed quantitative evaluation on its accuracy and robustness, showing that EMTV performs better than the original TV and other state-of-the-art techniques in fundamental matrix estimation for multiview stereo matching. The extensions of CFTV and EMTV for extracting multiple and nonlinear structures are underway.
An architecture for spoken dialogue management (1996)

We propose an architecture for integrating discourse processing and speech recognition (SR) in spoken dialogue systems. It was first developed for computer-mediated bilingual dialogue in voiceto-voice machine translation applications and we apply it here to a distributed battlefield simulation system used for military training. According to this architecture discourse functions previously distributed through the interface code are collected into a centralized discourse capability. The Dialogue Manager (DM) acts as a third-party mediator overseeing the translation of input and output utterances between English and the command language of the backend system. The DM calls the Discourse Processor (DP) to update the context representation each time an utterance is issued or when a salient non-linguistic event occurs in the simulation. The DM is responsible for managing the interaction among components of the interface system and the user. For task-based human-computer dialogue systems it consults three sources of nonlinguistic context constraint in addition to the linguistic Discourse State: (1) a User Model, (2) a static Domain Model containing rules for engaging the backend system, with a grammar for the language of well-formed, executable commands, and (3) a dynamic Backend Model (BEM) that maintains updated status for salient aspects of the non-linguistic context. In this paper we describe its four-step recovery algorithm invoked by DM whenever an item is unclear in the current context, or when an interpretation error is, and show how parameter settings on the algorithm can modify the overall behavior of the system from Tutor to Trainer. This is offered to illustrate how limited (inexpensive) dialogue processing functionality, judiciously selected, and designed in conjunction with expectations for human dialogue behavior can compensate for inevitable limitations in SR, NL processor, the backend software application, or even in the user’s understanding of the task or the software system. 1. SPOKEN DIALOGUE SYSTEMS 1.1 Integrating Discourse and SR Waibel et al., (1989) and De Mori et al., (1988) extend stochastic language modeling techniques to the discourse level to improve spoken dialogue systems. The complexity of discourse state descriptions leads to a sparse data problem during training, and idiosyncratic human behavior at run time can defeat even the best probabilistic dialogue model. Symbolic approaches to spoken discourse data identify discourse constraints on language model selection at run time. Our work collects discourse-level processing into a centralized discourse capability as part of a modular user interface dialogue architecture. Its use in a spoken dialogue interface to a distributed battlefield simulation system used for military training is diagrammed in Figure 1.

Considerations for Thermal Injury Analysis for RF Ablation Devices (2010)

Background: The estimation of lesion size is an integral part of treatment planning for the clinical applications of radiofrequency ablation. However, to date, studies have not directly evaluated the impact of different computational estimation techniques for predicting lesion size. In this study, we focus on three common methods used for predicting tissue injury: (1) iso-temperature contours, (2) Cumulative equivalent minutes, (3) Arrhenius based thermal injury. Methods: We created a geometric model of a multi-tyne ablation electrode and simulated thermal and tissue injury profiles that result from three calculation methods after 15 minutes exposure to a constant RF voltage source. A hybrid finite element technique was used to calculate temperature and tissue injury. Time-temperature curves were used in the assessment of iso-temperature thresholds and the method of cumulative equivalent minutes. An Arrhenius-based formulation was used to calculate sequential and recursive thermal injury to tissues. Results: The data demonstrate that while iso-temperature and cumulative equivalent minute contours are similar in shape, these two methodologies grossly over-estimate the amount of tissue injury when compared to recursive thermal injury calculations, which have previously been shown to correlate closely with in vitro pathologic lesion volume measurement. In addition, Arrhenius calculations that do not use a recursive algorithm result in a significant underestimation of lesion volume. The data also demonstrate that lesion width and depth are inadequate means of characterizing treatment volume for multi-tine ablation devices. Conclusions: Recursive thermal injury remains the most physiologically relevant means of computationally estimating lesion size for hepatic tumor applications. Iso-thermal and cumulative equivalent minute approaches may produce significant errors in the estimation of lesion size.
On the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC Layer Attacks: GTS Attack (2008)

In the last several years IEEE 802.15.4 has been accepted as a major MAC layer protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and has attracted the interest of there search community involved in security issues as the increased range of application scenarios bring out new possibilities for misuse and taking improper advantage of sensor nodes and their operation. As these nodes are very resource restrained such possible attacks and their early detection must be carefully considered. This paper surveys the known attacks on wireless sensor networks, identifies and investigates a new attack, guaranteed time slot (GTS) attack, taking as a basis the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol for WSN. The GTS attack is simulated with different scenarios using ns-2 and the results are evaluated both from the point of view of the attacked and the attacker.
Pustular psoriasis induced by infliximab. (2004)

Pustular psoriasis is an uncommon variant of psoriasis characterized by widespread pustules on an erythematous background. Recent reports document the efficacy of immunobiologic agents such as infliximab in the treatment of pustular psoriasis. We present a patient that developed cutaneous and pathologic changes consistent with pustular psoriasis while receiving treatment with infliximab for chronic ulcerative colitis. More long-term studies need to be conducted in order to fully understand this paradoxical reaction as well as the mechanism of action and side effect profiles of infliximab and other immunobiologic agents.
Persistence of Epstein-Barr virus in the parotid gland (1984)

Two independent techniques, in situ hybridization on frozen sections and reassociation kinetics, have been used to localize Epstein-Barr virus genomes in tissue samples from healthy human adults. Whereas specimens taken from the palatine tonsils were invariably negative, all samples from the parotid gland were positive when tested with either technique. This observation suggests that the parotid gland is, besides the peripheral lymphocytes, a site of lifelong persistence of Epstein-Barr virus and probably the site of low-level virus production which may be the source of virus found in the oropharynx.
