Improvement and performance analysis of MPI_ALLGATHER algorithm (2007)

We discuss issues related to the high performance implementation of collective communication operations in MPICH for clusters in this paper.The Ring and Neighbor Exchange algorithms have the best communication locality property,and they have more communication steps than others.The Recursive Doubling and Bruck algorithms have less communication steps,and they have worse communication locality property than others.Based on the discussion,we present a new MPI_ALLGATHER algorithm that combines the Neighbor Exchange and Recursive Doubling algorithms.The new algorithm has less data transfer times than the Neighbor Exchange algorithm and better communication locality property than the Recursive Doubling algorithm.We evaluate the new algorithm in Myrinet cluster and find that the new algorithm performs better than the Neighbor Exchange algorithm and sometimes performs the best for medium-size messages among all the algorithms.The new algorithm also performs better for long-size messages than the Recursive Doubling and Bruck algorithms.
A disposable adhesive patch for stress urinary incontinence. (1998)

The disposable patch significantly reduced urine leakage resulting from SUI in community-based women. Dryness improved significantly, both by measurement of actual leakage and by the subject's perception of dryness. The maturation index of the vestibular tissues showed an increase in the number of superficial cells during patch use. Otherwise, there were no significant changes in vulvar tissues, urine composition, or microbial flora (in vaginal and urine samples). Volunteers reported that the patch improved their overall quality of life.

A Combination Approach to Web User Profiling (2010)

In this article, we study the problem of Web user profiling, which is aimed at finding, extracting, and fusing the “semantic”-based user profile from the Web. Previously, Web user profiling was often undertaken by creating a list of keywords for the user, which is (sometimes even highly) insufficient for main applications. This article formalizes the profiling problem as several subtasks: profile extraction, profile integration, and user interest discovery. We propose a combination approach to deal with the profiling tasks. Specifically, we employ a classification model to identify relevant documents for a user from the Web and propose a Tree-Structured Conditional Random Fields (TCRF) to extract the profile information from the identified documents; we propose a unified probabilistic model to deal with the name ambiguity problem (several users with the same name) when integrating the profile information extracted from different sources; finally, we use a probabilistic topic model to model the extracted user profiles, and construct the user interest model. Experimental results on an online system show that the combination approach to different profiling tasks clearly outperforms several baseline methods. The extracted profiles have been applied to expert finding, an important application on the Web. Experiments show that the accuracy of expert finding can be improved (ranging from +6% to +26% in terms of MAP) by taking advantage of the profiles.
Influence of V:YAG saturable absorber orientation on linearly polarized laser Q-switching (2011)

The impact of the V:YAG saturable absorber nonlinear transmission polarization anisotropy on Q-switched laser system was investigated. Two various cuts ([111] and [100]) of V:YAG crystal with the same initial transmission 87% @ 1.3 μm were used as a passive Q-switch for longitudinaly diode pumped linearly polarized Nd:YAP laser operating at 1342 nm. This laser consisted of 8.2mm long Nd:YAP crystal placed in 100mm long semihemisferical resonator. The flat mirror in vicinity of Nd:YAP crystal was transparent for pumping radiation at 805nm and highly reflecting at operating wavelength 1342 nm. The curved output coupler (radius of curvature 146mm) had reflectivity 92% @ 1342 nm. The laser was tested under pulsed pumping for the duty-cycle 9% and under CW pumping. The laser output parameters (mean output power, pulse width, repetition rate, energy, and peak power) were measured for absorber turning around longitudinal crystal axis. In this configuration for [111]-cut of V:YAG the pulse energy and pulse width (FWHM) varied from 27 up to 38 μJ and from 50 to 40 ns, respectively. This corresponds to peak power rise from 0.55 up to 0.95kW. In case of [100]-cut the proper orientation of V:YAG in respect to oscillating radiation polarization allowed to increase pulse energy from 37 to 60 μJ and peak power from 1.3 to 3 kW. Simultaneously, the pulse width decreased from 28 to 20 ns. The results showed that proper choice of saturable absorber cut and orientation can significantly improve giant pulse parameters.
Possible Alternate Routes in the Metabolism of Betahistine in the Rabbit (1972)

The metabolism of betahistine, demethylbetahistine and 2-(2-hydroxy-ethyl) pyridine in the rabbit leads to the urinary excretion of acidic metabolities, including 2-pyridylacetate, which is excreted in part as N-2-pyridylacetylglycine. Other unidentified Koenig-positive compounds were in the acidic fraction.

Mitochondrial Genetics of Aging: Intergenomic Conflict Resolution (2005)

Mitochondria are the organelles of aerobic respiration. They consume the oxygen we breathe to stay alive and generate energy for cells to function. But oxygen can be dangerous. Indeed, mitochondria generate the majority of reactive oxygen species that are prime suspects among the causes of aging. Mitochondria have been influential elements of evolving eukaryotic cells for perhaps 2 billion years, since a eubacterium fused with an archaebacterium. The picture that has emerged from this long history of genomic fusion is that of a complex network of nuclear-mitochondrial cross-talk. Here, we discuss the biochemical and genetic conflicts between mitochondria and nucleus, which have shaped the role of mitochondria in aging, and point to new paths for further investigations.
Fabrication and characterization of electrodeposited antimony telluride crystalline nanowires and nanotubes (2010)

Arrays of nanowires and nanotubes of antimony-telluride (Sb2Te3) have been fabricated by an electrodeposition technique. Scanning electron microscopy was employed to characterize the morphology and size of the fabricated Sb2Te3 nanowires and nanotubes. Wavelength dispersive spectroscopy analysis confirmed the composition of the fabricated nanowires and nanotubes. The composition of the nanowires fabricated at a cathodic current density of 10 mA cm−2 and nanotubes fabricated at a cathodic current density of 5.5 mA cm−2 was found to be ∼39% Sb and ∼61% Te (2 : 3 ratio between Sb and Te). The fabricated Sb2Te3 nanowire and nanotube arrays were found to be polycrystalline with no preferred orientation. The average lamellar thickness of the nanowires and nanotube crystallites was determined using the Scherrer equation and found to be ∼36 nm and ∼43 nm, respectively. The measured room temperature Seebeck coefficients for the Sb2Te3 nanowires and nanotubes were +359 µV K−1 and +332 µV K−1, respectively, confirming that the Sb2Te3 nanowires and nanotubes were p-type. The electrical resistance measurements indicated that the resistance of the Sb2Te3 nanowires and nanotubes decreased with increasing temperature, consistent with semiconducting behavior.
Determination of best shortened linear codes (1996)

The quality of a block code is determined by its capability to protect data against undetectable errors and by the number of check bits that are required for that purpose. For a given number of check bits there are codes with optimum bit error detecting capability in shortened block lengths. These codes are determined and tabulated. The residual error characteristics of some of the tabulated codes are compared with those specified in ISO/CCITT or IEC standard data transmission protocols. For block lengths and bit error rates that are typical in process control applications, the residual error rate of the determined codes is more than six orders of magnitude smaller than that of codes specified by widely used standard transmission protocols.
Analysis of Pump Oil and Alkanes Evaporation (2008)

There are many products, including hard drives, which require trace amounts, on the order of several mg, of lubricants for proper operation. The following study investigated the evaporation rates of pump oil and several alkanes, which have a wide range of applications, using a thermogravimetric machine. Both static and dynamic temperature tests were conducted. The rate of evaporation of the test specimen was determined as the percentage of mass loss per unit time. Using the Arrhenius Equation, the activation energy of the evaporation process, Ea, can be calculated as the slope of the best fit line for a plot of the ln(k) vs. 1/T (where k represents the rate of the evaporation). These values were shown to have good agreement with the enthalpy of vaporization calculated from the Clausius Clapeyron Equation and with the activation energy calculated using the Freeman and Carroll Method. The alkanes were compared using the rate of evaporation and the amount of activation energy required for evaporation as model systems. Further investigations were conducted to determine the relationship of surface area of the evaporating liquid and the rate of evaporation. It is suggested that the surface area is a function that depends on the activation, bonding, and interfacial energies of the liquid. However, the wetting angle, which aids in the description of the surface area, depends on the surface energy. Subsequent modeling was conducted in an attempt to predict the evaporation characteristics of other lubricants for the purpose of comparison.
A VLSI systolic adder for digital filtering of delta-modulated signals (1989)

A fully systolic VLSI architecture allowing addition of N sequentially available input numbers is presented. It consists of a bit-level systolic adder, systolically resettable, which accumulates the partial sums, and of a systolic control network which provides the correct signs of the input data. This architecture has all the advantages of systolic arrays, such as concurrence of calculations and ease of expansion, and it is really simple to design because the complexity of the cells used is comparable to that of a half adder. In addition, the delay introduced by the slowest cell is quite small and, as a consequence, the data throughput can be considered much higher than in other solutions. Furthermore, by introducing a useful mathematical notation, the correctness of the structure is proved.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
РROJECT «ОPEN ACADEMY» AS A RESPONSE OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY TO THE MODERN CHALLENGES (2014)

Urgent implementation and promotion of the project is not only a contemporary requirement but also an urgent necessity to bridge the gap between politics, public administration and science. On the one hand the situation related to the pragmatists often does not see prospects because their declared goals conflict with the results of their actions. On the other hand abstract scientific approaches tend to separation from the real geopolitical and regional reality, the value of which is growing rapidly. Such projects reduce the gap between theory and practice and are able to solve very specific urgent tasks of public administration.
Was ist Gestalttheorie? (1975)

Die Gestalttheorie ist ein Ansatz zum Verständnis der Ordnung, die uns am seelischen Geschehen und damit zugleich am Verhalten von Menschen und Tieren auffällt. Sie gehört zu einer Gruppe von Ansätzen, die es auch in anderen Wissenschaften gibt, die aber dort andere Namen haben. Wenn in der Physik von Feldtheorien und in der Biologie von einer Systemtheorie die Rede ist, so ist es schwer, zwischen dem, was unter den drei Namen verstanden wird, einen anderen Unterschied zu finden als den ihres Gegenstandes, der im einen Fall der unbelebten Natur, im zweiten dem Reich des Lebendigen, im dritten dem menschlichen Erleben und Verhalten angehört. Die theoretische Frage ist überall dieselbe. Es ist durchweg die Frage nach der Ordnung, - die Frage nach der Art und Weise, wie etwa die Ordnung des Aufbaues (der „Struktur“) verhältnismäßig beständiger Gebilde, die Ordnung von Geschehensverläufen und besonders auch die Ordnung des Zusammenspiels der zahlreichen Funktionen innerhalb eines komplexen beständigen Gebildes - z. B. eines Organismus – zustande kommt, erhalten bleibt und bei Störungen wiederhergestellt wird. Im folgenden soll aber, was Gestalttheorie im einzelnen ist, nicht aus ihrem allgemeinen Begriff abgeleitet, sondern am Leitfaden ihrer geschichtlichen Entwicklung deutlich gemacht werden.
Comment (2007)

A new feature in this issue of Early Childhood Folio is an interview with an experienced researcher talking about three important messages from research.It is fitting that the first interview is with Emeritus Professor Anne Smith who is renowned for her exemplary research in child development, early childhood education and children's rights, and her advocacy for good quality early childhood education."It's a cost to society not to invest in good, quality early childhood education", and "children need to be treated as experts in their own lives" are two of her key messages.These themes also lie at the heart of most of the articles in this issue, which present research-based evidence about how early childhood teachers find out more about children's perspectives, experiences, and thinking, and how to enhance teaching and learning.All but two of the articles were derived from qualitative research in early childhood centres.The articles address teaching and learning within a diverse range of domains, including young children's playfulness, thinking capabilities, challenge and rule breaking, emotional well-being of infants and parents, multiple literacies, and mathematics competencies.They offer challenges and insights for teachers to think about in their work with young children, and offer a valuable basis for enhancing pedagogical practice.Three of the articles are from studies undertaken through Ministry of Education funded projects that involve teachers and researchers working in partnership: the Centre of Innovation (COI) and the Teaching Learning and Research Initiative (TLRI) programmes.These programmes are generating a steady source of research-based material that is of real theoretical and practice value, and that benefits from the researcher-teacher partnership.Novel ways of upholding children's rights and finding out children's and families' perspectives are discussed in some articles.These ways include gaining children's "assent" to participate, using a persona doll to investigate children's views of rights, "just talking to children", use of photography, child conferencing, and collaborative drawing to find out about children's views of their outdoor experience, and family interpretation of the origin and meaning of children's literacies.This is a bumper issue of Early Childhood Folio, with more than the usual articles and including the new Spotlight on Children's Issues feature.It has been prepared for publication in time for the 2007 Early Childhood Convention, in the knowledge that it will provoke keen interest.
H18 Carbon: A New Metallic Phase with sp2-sp3 Hybridized Bonding Network (2016)

Design and synthesis of three-dimensional metallic carbons are currently one of the hot issues in contemporary condensed matter physics because of their fascinating properties. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we discover a novel stable metallic carbon allotrope (termed H18 carbon) in () symmetry with a mixed sp(2)-sp(3) hybridized bonding network. The dynamical stability of H18 carbon is verified by phonon mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulations, and its mechanical stability is analyzed by elastic constants, bulk modulus, and shear modulus. By simulating the x-ray diffraction patterns, we propose that H18 carbon would be one of the unidentified carbon phases observed in recent detonation experiments. The analysis of the band structure and density of states reveal that this new carbon phase has a metallic feature mainly due to the C atoms with sp(2) hybridization. This novel 3D metallic carbon phase is anticipated to be useful for practical applications such as electronic and mechanical devices.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy investigations focused on food allergens (2014)

In this article, we survey recent literature related to the development of impedimetric sensors and methods for allergen proteins in food. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is\nan electrochemical method that allows label-free monitoring of analyte-ligand interactions and\nwas largely used for characterising various steps in the development of (bio)sensors. Both faradaic impedance spectroscopy – using a redox probe added to the analytical system to be investigated – and non-faradaic impedance spectroscopy were used for the detection of food allergens. Several approaches leading to high sensitivity and application to the analysis of real samples are particularly emphasized. The challenges in using EIS for the determination of allergens are discussed.
Pension Simplification, 35 J. Marshall L. Rev. 565 (2002) (2002)

This point is echoed by Gone Steuerle: Do we need both traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, both profit-sharing and employee stock option plans, both money purchase and profit-sharing plans, both 401(k) and 403(b) plans?My feeling is that the gains from these differentiations are small, if any, and the costs of administration are almost inevitably higher than any gains.
Effective Cellular Uptake and Efflux of Thyroid Hormone by Human Monocarboxylate Transporter 10 (2008)

Cellular entry of thyroid hormone is mediated by plasma membrane transporters, among others a T-type (aromatic) amino acid transporter. Monocarboxylate transporter 10 (MCT10) has been reported to transport aromatic amino acids but not iodothyronines. Within the MCT family, MCT10 is most homologous to MCT8, which is a very important iodothyronine transporter but does not transport amino acids. In view of this paradox, we decided to reinvestigate the possible transport of thyroid hormone by human (h) MCT10 in comparison with hMCT8. Transfection of COS1 cells with hMCT10 cDNA resulted in 1) the production of an approximately 55 kDa protein located to the plasma membrane as shown by immunoblotting and confocal microscopy, 2) a strong increase in the affinity labeling of intracellular type I deiodinase by N-bromoacetyl-[(125)I]T(3), 3) a marked stimulation of cellular T(4) and, particularly, T(3) uptake, 4) a significant inhibition of T(3) uptake by phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan of 12.5%, 22.2%, and 51.4%, respectively, and 5) a marked increase in the intracellular deiodination of T(4) and T(3) by different deiodinases. Cotransfection studies using the cytosolic thyroid hormone-binding protein micro-crystallin (CRYM) indicated that hMCT10 facilitates both cellular uptake and efflux of T(4) and T(3). In the absence of CRYM, hMCT10 and hMCT8 increased T(3) uptake after 5 min incubation up to 4.0- and 1.9-fold, and in the presence of CRYM up to 6.9- and 5.8-fold, respectively. hMCT10 was less active toward T(4) than hMCT8. These findings establish that hMCT10 is at least as active a thyroid hormone transporter as hMCT8, and that both transporters facilitate iodothyronine uptake as well as efflux.
