Clinical Relevance of the Small Colorectal Polyp (2001)

Adenomatous colorectal polyps (adenomas) are not like sunflowers. If you plant sunflower seeds, small sunflowers of equal size and shape soon emerge. Then, in a very predictable linear way, all small ones grow to medium-sized and then fully grown flowers. Colorectal adenomatous polyps, however, behave quite differently. Large numbers of small simple tubular adenomas develop in large numbers of people - according to autopsy studies, over 30 % of the population over age 50 have these lesions [1]. However, unlike sunflowers, only a small fraction of these polyps grow to become large adenomas with advanced pathologic (premalignant) features. While it is obvious that all large adenomas at one time were small, the great majority of small adenomas, nevertheless, never grow, advance, and turn cancerous.
Fourier analysis and its applications (1992)

This book presents the theory and applications of Fourier series and integrals, eigenfunction expansions, and related topics, on a level suitable for advanced undergraduates. It includes material on Bessel functions, orthogonal polynomials, and Laplace transforms, and it concludes with chapters on generalized functions and Green's functions for ordinary and partial differential equations. The book deals almost exclusively with aspects of these subjects that are useful in physics and engineering, and includes a wide variety of applications. On the theoretical side, it uses ideas from modern analysis to develop the concepts and reasoning behind the techniques without getting bogged down in the technicalities of rigorous proofs.
Word Base Line Detection In Handwritten Text Recognition Systems (2009)

An approach is offered for more precise definition of base lines- borders in handwritten cursive text and general problems of handwritten text segmentation have also been analyzed. An offered method tries to solve problems arose in handwritten recognition with specific slant or in other words, where the letters of the words are not on the same vertical line. As an informative features, some recognition systems use ascending and descending parts of the letters, found after the word-s baseline detection. In such recognition systems, problems in baseline detection, impacts the quality of the recognition and decreases the rate of the recognition. Despite other methods, here borders are found by small pieces containing segmentation elements and defined as a set of linear functions. In this method, separate borders for top and bottom border lines are found. At the end of the paper, as a result, azerbaijani cursive handwritten texts written in Latin alphabet by different authors has been analyzed.
Bin-Hash Indexing: A Parallel Method for Fast Query Processing - eScholarship (2008)

This paper presents a new parallel indexing data structure for answering queries. The index, called Bin-Hash, offers extremely high levels of concurrency, and is therefore well-suited for the emerging commodity of parallel processors, such as multi-cores, cell processors, and general purpose graphics processing units (GPU). The Bin-Hash approach first bins the base data, and then partitions and separately stores the values in each bin as a perfect spatial hash table. To answer a query, we first determine whether or not a record satisfies the query conditions based on the bin boundaries. For the bins with records that can not be resolved, we examine the spatial hash tables. The procedures for examining the bin numbers and the spatial hash tables offer the maximum possible level of concurrency; all records are able to be evaluated by our procedure independently in parallel. Additionally, our Bin-Hash procedures access much smaller amounts of data than similar parallel methods, such as the projection index. This smaller data footprint is critical for certain parallel processors, like GPUs, where memory resources are limited. To demonstrate the effectiveness of Bin-Hash, we implement it on a GPU using the data-parallel programming language CUDA. The concurrency offered by the Bin-Hash index allows us to fully utilize the GPU's massive parallelism in our work; over 12,000 records can be simultaneously evaluated at any one time. We show that our new query processing method is an order of magnitude faster than current state-of-the-art CPU-based indexing technologies. Additionally, we compare our performance to existing GPU-based projection index strategies.
Structure Elucidation, Synthesis, and Contact Allergenic Activity of a Major Hydroperoxide Formed at Autoxidation of the Ethoxylated Surfactant C<sub>12</sub>E<sub>5</sub> (2003)

Ethoxylated alcohols, widely used as surfactants, are known to be susceptible to oxidation when exposed to air. At autoxidation, a complex mixture is formed, in which alkyl poly(ethylene glycol) aldehydes, alkyl poly(ethylene glycol) formates, hydroxyaldehydes, and formaldehyde have previously been identified. These compounds are all secondary oxidation products, some of which have been shown to be skin sensitizers and irritants. The primary oxidation products from ethoxylated alcohols are described in the literature as peroxides and hydroperoxides, but their structures have not been elucidated more closely. Peroxides and hydroperoxides are usually reactive species and can be suspected to be biologically active as skin sensitizers and irritants. In the present investigation, we studied the autoxidation of the pure ethoxylated alcohol pentaethylene glycol mono-n-dodecyl ether (C(12)E(5)), using NMR and HPLC-MS. On the basis of experience from previous studies on a small model compound, diethyleneglycol monoethyl ether (C(2)E(2)), the hydroperoxide expected to be found in the highest amount in autoxidized C(12)E(5) was synthesized and used as a reference substance in the analyses. This same hydroperoxide, 16-hydroperoxy-3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxaheptacosan-1-ol, was identified in the autoxidation mixture of C(12)E(5), and its sensitizing capacity was determined. It was found to be a moderate allergen in experimental sensitization studies in guinea pigs. Our data further indicate the presence of at least three additional hydroperoxides in the autoxidation mixture of C(12)E(5), one of which was identified as 1-hydroperoxy-3,6,9,12,15-pentaoxaheptacosan-1-ol. The results accentuate the importance of controlling the storage, transportation, and handling conditions of ethoxylated surfactants, to avoid the formation of allergenic and skin irritant oxidation products.

Spectrum analysis techniques for personnel detection using seismic sensors (2003)

There is a general need for improved detection range and false alarm performance for seismic sensors used for personnel detection. In this paper we describe a novel footstep detection algorithm which was developed and run on seismic footstep data collected at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in December 2000. The initial focus was an assessment of achievable detection range. The conventional approach to footstep detection is to detect transients corresponding to individual footfalls. We feel this is an error-prone approach. Because many real-world signals unrelated to human locomotion look like transients, transient-based footstep detection will inevitably either suffer from high false alarm rates or will be insensitive. Instead, we examined the use of spectrum analysis on envelope-detected seismic signals and have found the general method to be quite promising, not only for detection, but also for discrimination against other types of seismic sources. In particular, gait patterns and their corresponding signatures may help discriminate between human intruders and animals. In the APG data set, mean detection ranges of 64 meters (at P<sub>D</sub>=50%) were observed for normal walking, significantly improving on ranges previously reported. For running, mean detection ranges of 84 meters were observed. However, stealthy walking (creeping) remains a considerable problem. Even at short ranges (10 meters), in some cases the detection rate was less than 50%. In future efforts, additional data sets for a range of geologic and environmental conditions should be acquired and analyzed. Improvements to the detection algorithms are possible, including estimation of direction of travel and the number of intruders.
Influence of nano-AlN particles on thermal conductivity, thermal stability and cure behavior of cycloaliphatic epoxy/trimethacrylate system (2011)

We have prepared a series of nano-sized aluminium nitride (nano-AlN)/cycloaliphatic epoxy/trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) systems and investigated their morphology, thermal conductivity, thermal stability and curing behavior. Experimental results show that the thermal conductivity of composites increases with the nano-AlN filler content, the maximum value is up to 0.47 W/(m!K). Incorporation of a small amount of the nano-AlN filler into the epoxy/TMPTMA system improves the thermal stability. For instance, the thermal degradation temperature at 5% weight loss of nano-AlN/ epoxy/TMPTMA system with only 1 wt% nano-AlN was improved by 8C over the neat epoxy/TMPTMA system. The effect of nano-AlN particles on the cure behavior of epoxy/TMPTMA systems was studied by dynamic differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that the addition of silane treated nano-AlN particles does not change the curing reaction mechanism and silane treated nano-AlN particles could bring positive effect on the processing of composite since it needs shorter pre-cure time and lower pre-temperature, meanwhile the increase of glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite improves the heat resistance.

A Model on Indoor Localization System Based on the Time Difference Without Synchronization (2018)

Localization has emerged as an attractive solution to enable new business models that rely on location-based services in wireless networks for communication, sensing, and control. In particular, time difference-of-arrival (TDOA) is one of the widely used localization models. However, the conventional TDOA requires precise time synchronization between a target node and anchor nodes for measuring the time difference, which leads to a large number of packets for communication. To reduce packet transmission, we propose a model for measuring the time difference without time synchronization called ASync-TDOA. Different from the conventional model, ASync-TDOA can measure the time difference in a one-way-based ranging by introducing the reference node. Specifically, the time difference between the target node and anchor nodes can be directly measured by the server based on the timestamps from the reference node. After that, the target node is accurately located using least squares and brute force for the time difference. We implement the ASync-TDOA model on a localization system with ultra-wideband signals to estimate the localization of the target node, which is easy to operate in practical engineering. The experiments show that the proposed ASync-TDOA is efficient in reducing the packet transmissions and improving the TDOA measurement and localization precision.
Knowledge-based power line detection for UAV surveillance and inspection systems (2008)

Spatial information captured from optical remote sensors on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has great potential in the automatic surveillance of electrical power infrastructure. For an automatic vision based power line inspection system, detecting power lines from cluttered background an important and challenging task. In this paper, we propose a knowledge-based power line detection method for a vision based UAV surveillance and inspection system. A PCNN filter is developed to remove background noise from the images prior to the Hough transform being employed to detect straight lines. Finally knowledge based line clustering is applied to refine the detection results. The experiment on real image data captured from a UAV platform demonstrates that the proposed approach is effective.

Indexing technical data in a materials database (2003)

Much of the data used by design engineers lack precision, particularly materials property data which are measured in inexact physical experiments and engineering tests. The indexing of such data needs to suit the various types of proximity searches of interest to an engineer. It is shown that B/sup +/-tree performance is best when the data are stored as specific values. A new structure, the interval tree, is presented and shown to be useful when much of the stored data is expressed in the form of ranges.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
Bromocriptine in Parkinsonism (1974)

Bromocriptine, a drug acting directly upon dopaminergic receptors, has been found to have a significant therapeutic action in a double-blind study of 20 patients with idiopathic Parkinsonism who were already receiving conventional therapy, including levodopa. Neurological deficits improved by almost 20% in severely disabled patients; amelioration of mildly affected patients was about 10%. Adverse reactions were similar to those encountered with levodopa-they were all dose-dependent and reversible. These observations are discussed in relation to certain theoretical advantages which might be expected from a drug which acts directly on dopaminergic receptors.
Differential Induction of Colitis and Gastritis in HLA-B27 Transgenic Rats Selectively Colonized with<i>Bacteroides vulgatus</i>or<i>Escherichia coli</i> (1999)

Resident bacteria play an important role in initiating and perpetuating gastrointestinal inflammation. We previously demonstrated that six commensal bacteria including Bacteroides vulgatus caused more aggressive colitis and gastritis in HLA-B27 transgenic rats than did the other five bacteria without B. vulgatus. This study compared the degree of gastrointestinal inflammation in gnotobiotic HLA-B27 transgenic rats monoassociated with either B. vulgatus or Escherichia coli. Gnotobiotic transgenic rats raised in Trexler isolators were selectively colonized with either B. vulgatus or E. coli. Control rats were either germfree or colonized with six common commensal bacteria (Streptococcus faecium, E. coli, Streptococcus avium, Eubacterium contortum, Peptostreptococcus productus, and B. vulgatus [DESEP-B]). After 1 month, all the rats were killed and tissues were prepared for histologic and biochemical evaluation. Colitis induced by B. vulgatus monoassociation was almost equal to that in DESEP-B-colonized rats and was significantly more severe than E. coli-induced colitis, which was absent by histological testing and mild by colonic myeloperoxidase and interleukin-1beta concentration determinations. However, gastritis was detectable only in DESEP-B-associated rats. These studies suggest that not all resident bacteria have equal proinflammatory capabilities, since B. vulgatus alone is more active than E. coli alone in inducing colitis, and that colitis and gastritis result from different luminal bacterial stimuli.

Research Progress on Drought-resistant Biology in Soybean (2012)

Drought and water shortage are a major challenge in crop production. Due to the lack of global water resource, crop production is subject to the effects of drought stress. In this paper authors focused on the physiological and biochemical basis of soybean drought-resistant traits to discuss the formation mechanism of soybean drought resistance traits and influencing factors, and reviewed the application of the drought trait improvement by using new technologies such as genome sequencing and genetic modified soybean as well as the prospects of the research on soybean drought biology.
Cholecystokinin CCK<sub>2</sub>receptors mediate the peptide's inhibitory actions on the contractile activity of human distal colon via the nitric oxide pathway (2007)

CCK(2) receptors mediate inhibitory actions of cholecystokinin on motor activity of human distal colon. It is suggested that CCK(2) receptors exert their modulating actions through a nitric oxide pathway, independent of the activity of the neuronal nitric oxide synthase isoform.
Contract-Based Cost Analytics (2020)

ABSTRACT Big data analytics are changing product costing practice in its decision-facilitating role, and have made arbitrary overhead allocation unnecessary. Contracts-to-system applications, which extract cost data directly from contracts without resorting to conventional cost accounting, are key components of emerging practice, and are currently offered by all Big 4 accounting firms to audit and consulting clients. I call this practice contract-based cost analytics (CBCA) and illustrate it with a special order decision scenario. Benefits of CBCA are reductions in cost estimation assumptions, timeliness, intuitive appeal to non-accountants, improved access to unstructured data, improved negotiations regarding cost and sales, outsource-based budgeting, and support for capital budgeting decisions (in addition to short-term scenarios). The biggest obstacle to CBCA is accountants' familiarity with linear cost behavior assumptions.
